I received a nice but firm comment from a reader the other day. In it, Veronika, mentioned she did not think all of my ideas were original and that I needed to be careful to credit others when it was due. I'm glad she wrote because it's an important topic and I am in complete agreement with her.
The blog, website and designs here all center around knitting innovations we call "Nuances". Sometimes they're little tweaks to things you've been doing all along and sometimes they're pretty new. Techniques like the Flat i-Cord or Showy Decrease are a new way to knit and use core skills that have been around forever. That does not mean everything I include in a pattern is a Nuance, sometimes I'm just a little bossy on exactly how I want you to do something, like how to cast on or how to work an increase, and I like to show you why I'm being so specific.
Here's an updated graphic to show you how far we've come in the past year. These skills form the foundation of the work we'll be doing together over the next year. We've got more tweaks to some of these and more new ideas coming too.
This also doesn't mean I'm assuming I'm the only person who may have thought of some of these. There is a whole wide world of amazing and creative knitters out there who may have similar ideas. The two items that Veronika was concerned about were the Make 1 Loop increase and Wavy Tail Cast On so let's talk about those as examples.
Make 1 Loop: This was included as a pattern note in the pre-announcement of the Seismic Scarf. It was mentioned a long time ago by Elizabeth Zimmerman so there's nothing new about it at all. The pattern note explains how I want you to work your increase as a counterclockwise loop and why not the more typical lifted make one. The free tutorial download does mention EZ but the pattern note is just a brief one liner.
Wavy Tail Cast On: This simple but effective modification of the long tail cast on makes for a more flexible and possibly decorative edge. It's phase one of a two part modification we'll use later. The first time it was referred to in a post, we mentioned that other knitters have used it in some form or another also, however, I have changed the name to just Alternating Long-Tail Cast On so there's no chance of confusion because I think her point was fair. One way in which we'll use this cast on differently is to ask you to cast on in pattern just as you might 'bind off in pattern'.
Once you get to know me, it will be easy to spot which ideas I think are 'new', I get pretty excited about them. All of our Nuances and their tutorials can be found on one page on the website. There you'll also find Nuance-lettes (little ideas) and general knitting tips like the two listed above. Which category each technique falls into is clearly defined.
It's easy for me to get caught up in the story I am telling you as each blog post builds on the past ones, but I can never forget a post might be the first one for a new reader.
Many, dare I say most, of our blog readers don't know about our website. Blogs are a wonderful communication tool, but their chronological nature makes it hard to organize ideas; we use our website for that.
Most importantly, I love meeting new readers!
A web link graphic is being added to the bottom of every page so you know how to find helpful information easily.
The website pattern pages have been really beefed up. Now they act as a central information point for the pattern with links to any tutorials or blog posts that are related.
We'll do the same for Nuances next ("this technique has been used in these patterns…").
I'll continue to give credit where it's due as often as I can but I can't repeat everything everywhere and I may truly not know about another's innovations. When that happens just tell me and I will happily link to the other source and look forward to meeting that designer too!
Here's a look at a pillow that sits in my living room but has not been written into a pattern yet. It gives you an idea of where we're going. There are a few techniques included in that design that we haven't covered yet and so it waits patiently. You'll also note, I haven't published a sweater. That's because I have a few more ideas involving armholes, sleeves and seams that we have to wait for. I promise we'll get there this year!
there are so many knitters out there and so many ideas that it would be impossible to keep up with all of it. I like that you will take an older idea and give it a new twist.
I am a knitter who enjoys the process so I like to knit small things – swatches,that become toys and blankets. hats and mitts which I can always find a home for. and the old stand by socks. all these are the perfect vehicle for trying out that new cast on or double knitting.
I like having your blog in my feed. some mornings I wake up and read through a new technique or follow as your design patterns develop.
I think you have a good style of writing so while every technique may not be new to me your writing and pictures make it easy to follow for your readers. so keep on giving me these ideas that I can adapt and throw onto my needles.
Just happened to run into your post. Totally agree.
I love your living room pillow.
Elizabeth Zimmerman used the term "unventing" to describe knitting techniques that she figured out herself but that perhaps had already been done by someone else.
Because…there is that little thing we call coincidence, especially since knitting is such an old skill.

The Grand Forks Wetlandkeepers workshop (June 14-16) was held at Selkirk College and featured FLNRO biologist Lisa Tedesco as well as 18 participants, whose knowledge and expertise were a wonderful addition to the course! At the workshop, we had the privilege to host many environmental groups in the area, such as the Christina Lake Stewardship Society, the Kettle River Management Advisory Committee, and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary. We also had the opportunity to visit Boothman's Oxbow and learn about its unique ecology. As a mosaic of birds swirled above us, we effortlessly saw a wide range of animal species throughout the marsh and grasslands – representing the significance that this area has for biodiversity.
Along with amphibians, the group sampled the invertebrates that were present in the water. We found a range of molluscs, water striders, and many other insects. One participant even found an unidentified swimming object!
Special thanks to Lisa Tedesco, Graham Watt, and to Kristen, Heather, Jill, Brenda, and Doug of the Christina Lake Stewardship Society! If you would like to view photos from this event, check out our Flickr album here!
Thank you to all of our partners for all of their support!

Q: Error in solution of Peter Winkler "red and blue dice" puzzle? This question relates to the solution give in Peter Winkler's Mathematical Mind-Benders to the "Red and Blue Dice" problem appearing on page $23.$

You have two sets (one red, one blue) of $n\ n-$sided dice, each die labeled with the numbers from $1$ to $n.$  You roll all $2n$ dice simultaneously. Prove that there must be a nonempty subset of the red dice and a nonempty subset of the blue dice with the same sum!

I tried to prove it by induction.  There must be an $n$ rolled or we can remove one die of each color and get a counterexample to the $n-1$ case.  If there is only on $n$ rolled, we can remove it, and any die of the other color, and again get a counterexample.  So there are at least two red $n$'s, say. But I couldn't carry the induction idea any further.  I proved it up to $n=6,$ hoping to spot a pattern, but all I got was a collection of ad hoc arguments.  After several days, I gave up and looked at the answer.
A solution is given on pages $33-34.$  Winkler advises proving a stronger statement.

In fact, there is a much stronger statement than the one you were asked to prove, which is nonetheless still true.  Organize the red dice into a line, in any way you want, and do the same with the blue dice.  Then there is a contiguous nonempty subset of each line with the same sum.
To put it more mathematically, given any two vector $\langle a_1,\dots,a_n\rangle$ and $\langle b_1,\dots,b_n\rangle$ in $\{1,\dots,n\}^n,$ there are $j\le k$ and $s\le t$ such that $\sum_{i=j}^k{a_i}=\sum_{i=s}^t{b_i}.$
To see this, let $\alpha_m$ be the sum of the first $m\ a_i$'s and let $\beta_m$ be the sum of the first $m\ b_i$'s.  Assume that $\alpha_n\le\beta_n$ (otherwise we can switch the roles of the $a$'s and  $b$'s), and for each $m,$ let $m'$ be the greatest index for which $\beta_{m'}\le\alpha_m.$

Winkler gives a diagram with two sample strings, lines joining $a_m$ and $b_{m'}$ labeled by $\alpha_m-\beta_{m'}$

It is apparent that the $a_i$ are the dice on top and the $b_i$ those on bottom.  Note that we have $\alpha_6=22,\ \beta_6=18,$ contradicting $\alpha_n\le\beta_n,$ so I imagine that the latter was a typo.  Also, the line labeled $3$ joining $a_3$ and $b_4$ should really end at $b_5$ and be labeled $0,$ but I guess this is just a mistake.
Anyway, Winkler says,

We always have $\alpha_m-\beta_{m'}\ge0,$ and at most $n-1$ (if $\alpha_m-\beta_{m'}$ were larger than or equal to $n,\ m'$ would have been a larger index.)

He then goes on to observe that if any of the labels is $0$ we are done, so we have $n$ labels from $1$ to $n-1$ and two are equal.  Then the sum of the intervening dice must be the same.  For example, in the picture we have two lines labeled $2,$ and we have $6+5+3=3+2+3+6.$
It seems to me that there are two holes in this proof.  The first is in the statement that the labels must be less than $n$.  Suppose that $\alpha_n-\beta_n\ge n.$  Then $n'=n,$ and there is no larger index available.  Then  perhaps $\alpha_n\le\beta_n$ is right after all, and the diagram is wrong. But this leaves the second problem, which doesn't depend on the relation between $\alpha_n$ and $\beta_n.$  Suppose that $a_1<b_1.$  How is $1'$ to be defined?
I thought about abandoning the stronger statement, and attempting to solve the puzzle by arranging the $a_i$ in decreasing order and the $b_i$ in increasing order, but I don't see how to dispose of the case $\max{a_i}>\min{b_i}.$  Winkler's argument can't be applied, and I don't see how to dispose of it otherwise.
I haven't been able to rescue this proof.  Am I overlooking something?  Can you solve the puzzle?
Note: Winkler say that some similar results can be found in a paper by Diaconis, Graham, and Sturmfels.  I haven't tried to read the paper yet, but it looks a little heavy for the solution to a puzzle. Also, Winkler says that the source of the puzzle was David Kempe of USC, "who needed the result in a computer science paper," but gives no further reference.
P.S.
I found a list of David Kempe's publications, but I can't tell which is likely to contain a proof of the theorem.

A: The figure is mistaken, but the proof is not, after a small clarification. Ignore the figure.
Winkler intended to assume $\alpha_n\le \beta_n$. Furthermore, he intended $0$ to be an allowable index when choosing $m'$, where $\beta_0=0$. This ensures ${m'}$ exists. For each $m\ge 1$, we have $\alpha_m \ge \beta_0$. This implies that $\{i:0\le i\le n,\alpha_m\ge \beta_i\}$ is nonempty; possibly it only contains $i=0$. We then let $m'$ be the largest element of this set.
By definition, $\alpha_m-\beta_{m'}\ge 0$. If $\alpha_m-\beta_{m'}\ge n$, then it must be that $m'<n$, because $\alpha_m\le \alpha_n \le \beta_n$. We can then consider $\beta_{m'+1}$, and would have $\beta_{m'+1}=\beta_{m'}+((m'+1)^{st}\text{ dice})\le \beta_{m'}+n\le \alpha_m$, contradicting the maximality of $m'$. Therefore you have $0\le \alpha_m-\beta_{m'}\le n-1$ and the rest of the proof follows.

A:
It seems to me that there are two holes in this proof.  The first is in the statement that the labels must be less than $n$.  Suppose that $\alpha_n-\beta_n\ge n.$  Then $n'=n,$ and there is no larger index available.  Then  perhaps $\alpha_n\le\beta_n$ is right after all, and the diagram is wrong.

Yes, take $\alpha_n\leq \beta_n.$

But this leaves the second problem, which doesn't depend on the relation between $\alpha_n$ and $\beta_n.$  Suppose that $a_1<b_1.$  How is $1'$ to be defined?

Set $1'=0.$ When you take the intervening dice between two different "$m$"'s the lower "$m$" is excluded, so it's fine to use zero here. The higher "$m$" is included, but that's ok: if $\alpha_m-\beta_{m'}=\alpha_M-\beta_{M'}=c$ with $m<M$ then necessarily $M'>0$ because $\beta_{M'}>\beta_{m'}.$

While working at a client on a Windows Server 2012R2 environment to create some PowerShell scripts, I had to change the Execution Policy, however running the "Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted" command gave me the following error.
Set-ExecutionPolicy : Windows PowerShell updated your execution policy successfully, but the setting is overridden by a policy defined at a more specific scope. Due to the override, your shell will retain its current effective execution policy of RemoteSigned. Type "Get-ExecutionPolicy -List" to view your execution policy settings. For more information please see "Get-Help Set-ExecutionPolicy".
I was able to see my available scopes.
However, you might have an error saying it can only be done via Group Policy.
If you get that error, read the resolution in my blog post: Change the PowerShell MachinePolicy Execution Policy in Windows Server 2012R2.
Last week I attended and spoke at an amazing new conference in Toronto called CollabCon. The organizing was great, speakers were amazing and attendees were really fun and engaging & I highly recommend that if you're from Canada, you should attend the 2016 event. However, this is not what this blog post is aboutJ. While at the conference, Microsoft had a booth and they gave away a small pamphlet in which you could easily compare Office 365 plans. I found the pamphlet a lot easier to read and view the differences between plans than the web version which you can find here.
What do you think about this pamphlet? Do you find it more useful than the web version? Do you have a site where it's easier to compare? Let me know in the comments!

The problem is that the rest of the farm had the PowerPivot enabled, and therefore the PowerPivot Addin is required. Unfortunately, This Add-in is not verified at the begging of the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard standard check, so that is why you get to this error. A recommended best practice is to install spPowerPivot.msi on all servers in the SharePoint farm for configuration consistency, including application servers and web-front end servers. The installer package includes the Analysis Services data providers as well as the PowerPivot for SharePoint 2013 configuration tool. To fix the problem, simply download the installer file from Microsoft Download Center: Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 PowerPivot for Microsoft SharePoint®, run it on your server and then re-run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard. Everything should work perfectly!
The thing we find in common in both those errors is "Could not find permission set named 'ASP.Net'". After countless hours spent on google, bing and even yahoo and after even some of the best SharePoint people I know couldn't find the issue, I discovered a way to make it work. Is this the best way? Probably not. I hope that it will help people that were in the same situation at me and want to get SSRS Working. Here are the steps.

This October, the Permanent TSB Ideal Home Show celebrates Bliain na Gaeilge – the year of the Irish - with the Cúl Art Showhouse designed by architect, designer, artist and gaeilgeoir Róisín Murphy, and set in a fantastic Wild Atlantic Way Coastal Garden by renowned landscape designer Michael O Reilly.
Róisín will source limestone from Carlow, jade tones of Connemara marble and copper from Longford as well as featuring Irish craft including Waterford Crystal, Foxford Woollen Mills, Connemara Marble Products and other Irish manufacturers.
The Irish theme is sure to resonate with the 26,000 expected to attend, in search of ideas and inspiration for their homes. While many attend in search of interior design ideas, furnishings and décor, a significant portion of the event is given over to larger projects such as home extensions, renovations and major upgrades.
The Build, Extend and Renovate Pavilion shows how to get the most out of your home by choosing to extend, build or remodel. It gives visitors access to all the suppliers they need to take a project from start to finish.
Those looking for an architect can sit in on one of the many talks taking place across the four-day event, with registered architects from the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) on hand for specific advice and assistance, or just to chat about what's possible.
Some of the architects taking part in this autumn's show include Green Build, Ronan Rose Roberts, Circa Design, Optimise Design, The Architects, JE Architecture, Fergus Flanagan and Renova.
If it's decor inspiration you're after, the Colourtrend Interior Design Forum showcases the work of seven top interior designers, each of whom has created a stunning room to provide inspiration and ideas about the ways in which colour and décor transforms a home.
Designers here include Abbeyfeale Interior Design, Architectural Spaces, Dan-Eire Designs, Drennan Interiors, Hedge Roe, Rachel Hobbs Designs and Xiu Feng Shui.
Each will be at the show accompanying their room sets and on hand to offer design and colour advice to visitors. Colourtrend staff will also be there to show how to get the perfect finish for your decorating project.
This year's show sees quantity surveyor Patricia Power – familiar to many from RTE's early Room to Improve TV series – providing advice at the Home Interiors and Design Theatre, which is being run in association with House & Home magazine.
House and Home editor Kirstie Mc Dermott will host talks from leading experts throughout the four-day event, on such topics as home makeovers, interior design trends, design and build options, extensions, colour choices, lighting, up-cycling, home storage, building finance and more.
The Mitsubishi Electric Home Advice Theatre is the home of all that smart technology, as well as sustainable energy solutions. It's the place to go for talks about topics such as innovative new heat pumps, energy efficiencies, the importance of design, and how to increase the value of your home. Speakers here include award-winning architect Fergus Flanagan and Leanne O'Donnell of Optimise Design.
There's a good selection of kitchen companies present at this month's event too, including Christoff Kitchens, Foxhall Kitchens and Damien Dowd Kitchens, whose work can be seen in situ in the showhouse. Kitchen Space, and DID Electrical will also be present, as will an array of kitchen designers and suppliers, offering all the appliances and accessories needed to kit out a kitchen, from granite worktops to kitchen tables and blinds.
Check out what's new in bathrooms too with names such as Sonas Bathrooms, Bathrooms 4U and Soaks Bathrooms, which supplies some of the world's leading brands and offers a 3D design service.
A new innovation at this autumn's show is a Chefs' Live Theatre, run in association with SuperValu. This will see chefs Martin Shanahan and Kevin Dundon, food stylist and cook book writer Sharon Hearne Smith and healthy eating advocate Niall Breslin conducting cooking demonstrations.
Visitors can seal deals here too, with help from title sponsors Permanent TSB which will have staff manning its stand to talk about mortgages and home improvement loans with, offering 'approvals in principle' in just 15 minutes.
Still at the business end, make a beeline for the SEAI stand to find out about the money-saving energy grants available, and to the Revenue stand to find out about the Home Renovation Incentive – get it while it lasts, it's due to go at the end of this year – and the Help to Buy scheme.
It's all about "helping home owners attain the comfort, lifestyle and wellbeing that comes from achieving their ideal home," says Sean Lemass of SDL Exhibitions, the show's organiser.

Herta Bamert (* 17. Juni 1909 in Singen, Deutschland; † 20. Juni 1996 in Zürich; heimatberechtigt in Zürich) war eine Schweizer Tänzerin und Tanzpädagogin.

Leben
Herta Bamert wurde als Tochter des Otto Bamert, eines Gutsverwalters in der Nähe von Sankt Petersburg, geboren. 1940 heiratete sie den Ingenieur Franz Roth. Bamert lebte bis 1919 im Russischen Kaiserreich, wo sie privaten Ballettunterricht erhielt. Um 1924 reiste sie in die Schweiz ein, wo sie sich in klassischem Ballett bei Mario Volkart und im Rhythmischen Seminar bei Mimi Scheiblauer in Zürich ausbildete. Weitere Ausbildung in Ballett erhielt sie bei Olga Preobrajenska und Boris Kniaseff in Paris.

Bamert tanzte am Stadttheater Zürich und beim Ballett Trudi Schoop, mit dem sie durch die Vereinigten Staaten tourte, und gab eigene Tanzabende in der Schweiz und in Deutschland. Eine umfassende pädagogische Tätigkeit entwickelte sie in Zürich, zuerst an der eigenen Schule, dann am Stadttheater Zürich und am Tanzseminar des Konservatoriums. 1956 gründete sie die Ballettakademie Zürich, deren Leitung sie bis zu ihrem Tode innehatte und deren Hauptpädagogin sie war. Aus ihrer Akademie gingen Tänzer und Tänzerinnen wie Christina McDermot und Raimondo Fornoni hervor.

Q: Where Linux sets its kernel and user-space segment selector values? I have verified that in Linux the following values are assigned to the kernel and user-space segments respectively:
__KERNEL_CS = 0x60
__KERNEL_DS = 0x68
__USER_CS = 0x73
__USER_DS = 0x7b

After examining the Linux source, I wasn't able to identify where Linux sets the above values into these segments. Actually, I've found the following assigments (/arch/x86/include/asm/segment.h):
#define __KERNEL_CS (GDT_ENTRY_KERNEL_CS * 8)           /* 2*8 = 0x10 */
#define __KERNEL_DS (GDT_ENTRY_KERNEL_DS * 8)           /* 3*8 = 0x18 */
#define __USER_DS   (GDT_ENTRY_DEFAULT_USER_DS* 8 + 3)  /* (5*8)+3 = 0x2B */
#define __USER_CS   (GDT_ENTRY_DEFAULT_USER_CS* 8 + 3)  /* (6*8)+3 = 0x33 */

Any help towards the understanding of this will be appreciated.

A: $ egrep -srl '(KERNEL|USER)_[CD]S' arch/x86/kernel

I'd look at entry_32.S.

DiFusion, Evonik Working To Develop CleanFUZE™
Oct 24, 2012 12:00am
Innovative Medical Polymer Resists Infection, Promotes Bone, Tissue Integration
GEORGETOWN, Texas, Oct. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DiFusion Technologies, Inc., and Germany-based specialty chemicals company Evonik Degussa Corporation are working together to develop a PEEK based product called CleanFUZE™, a new medical polymer that prevents infection and promotes bone and tissue integration.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120905/MM67764)
DiFusion recently completed a series of in vivo and in vitro clinical tests. These tests were performed by third party institutions whereby the results showed CleanFUZE™ eradicated 99.998% of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria and prevented biofilm adhesion. MRSA is a bacterium which is resistant to known antibiotic drugs. Biofilm formation occurs when free-floating microorganisms attach themselves to a surface. Biofilms protect the bacteria and are often more resistant to traditional antimicrobial treatments, making them a serious health risk. No biofilm can effectively be treated with antibiotics once it has formed on a medical implant.
The parties are developing CleanFUZE™ using Evonik's VESTAKEEP® PEEK (polyetheretherketone) together with DiFusion's silver zeolite based technology, that when custom formulated together create enhanced durability and contains specialized molecular matrices of silver and/or zinc cations to create anti-bacterial and osteoconductive properties. CleanFUZE is a new load-bearing medical polymer from which any orthopedic or dental implant can be engineered and the first bioactive polymer for human implantation. Surgical Site Infections (SSI's) are the No. 1 problem in orthopedics and oral surgery, such a bioactive polymer could permanently shift the implant market to an implant-based solution. "Having a bioactive material which kills bacteria and promotes bone growth will revolutionize the way we think about orthopedic implants and the materials from which we make," said Andrew Park, M.D. and director at Dallas Spine Fellowship.
Hospital acquired infections (HAI's) are currently the fourth leading cause of death in the United States and increasing penalties for hospitals with high infection rates make new technologies such as CleanFUZE a solution for this growing problem. Medicare reimbursement penalties went into effect October 1, 2012 for hospitals with high-infection rates; an average hospital could be penalized by more than $12 million a year. Reimbursement holdbacks from Medicare have even more stringent penalties phased in over the next two years. Older Medicare patients are the most likely to acquire an infection while hospitalized. Hospitals will be forced to endure enormous financial losses, thus crippling their ability to continue effectively treating patients and putting some hospitals out of business altogether.
According to Jami Hafiz, PhD, vice president of development at DiFusion, "VESTAKEEP® PEEK's superior properties in many critical areas are the primary reason we are working with Evonik to develop CleanFUZE." With Evonik's quality products and chemical expertise, CleanFUZE is expected to provide excellent bacteria-prevention solutions.
"Innovative materials and strategic collaborations will be a key driver of Evonik's growth in medical applications," said Jeff Smith, vice president and general manager of Evonik's High-Performance Polymers Business Line, Americas.
