Разработка комитетом () — уничижительная характеристика стиля проектирования и полученного результата, когда группа участников объединяется для создания чего-либо (обычно технического устройства или стандарта) при плохом или некомпетентном руководстве. Отличительными чертами «разработанного комитетом» проекта являются излишняя сложность, неполнота, логические противоречия, банальность и отсутствие целостной структуры.

Термин распространён в технической среде; он обосновывает необходимость единого системного архитектора (См. Системный аналитик). В случае программного обеспечения, «разработанного комитетом», изначальная задача, базовые спецификации и технические критерии отступают на второй план перед самомнением и личными интересами отдельных участников комитета. Такие продукты и стандарты становятся объединением разрозненной функциональности или плохо взаимодействующих составных частей (поскольку создатели этих модулей или разделов не задумывались о качественном взаимодействии с другими участниками проекта).

Термин также употребляется в автомобильной индустрии для плохо спроектированных или непопулярных автомобилей.

Одной из самых известных максим является «Верблюд — это лошадь, разработанная комитетом». Эта фраза приписывается журналу Vogue, а также Алеку Иссигонису.

If the earthing transformer on the Delta Side is outsides the Zone of protection the Earth Fault(E/F) in the delta system outside Current Transformer (CT) locations would produce current distributions as shown which circulate within the differential CT secondaries and is kept out of operating coils.
Zig-Zag or inter connected star grounding transformer has normal magnetising impedance of high value but for E/F, currents flow in windings of the same – core in such a manner that the ampere turn cancel and hence offer lower impedance.
In cases where the neutral point of three phase system is not accessible like the system connected to the delta connected side of a electrical power transformer, an artificial neutral point may be created with help of a zigzag connected earthing transformer.
1st half of Red phase winding is wound on the 1st limb of the core and 2nd half of same Red phase is wound on 3rd limb.
1st half of Yellow phase winding is wound on the 2nd limb of the core and 2nd half of same Yellow phase is wound on 1st limb.
1st half of Blue phase winding is wound on the 3rd limb of the core and 2nd half of same Blue phase is wound on 2nd limb.
End point of all three winding ultimately connected together and forms a common neutral point. Now if any fault occurs at any of the phases in delta connected system, the zero sequence fault current has close path of circulating through earth as shown in the figure.
In normal condition of the system, the voltage across the winding of the earthing transformer is 1/√3 times of rated per phase voltage of the system.
But when single line to ground fault occurs on any phase of the system, as shown in the figure, zero sequence component of the earth fault current flows in the earth and returns to the electrical power system by way of earth star point of the earthing transformer. It gets divided equally in all the three phases. Hence, as shown in the figure, the currents in the two different halves of two windings in the same limb of the core flow in opposite directions. And therefore the magnetic flux set up by these two currents will oppose and neutralize each other. As there is no increase in flux due to fault current, there is no change of dφ/dt means no choking effect occurs to impede the flow of fault current. So it can be concluded like that, the zigzag type earthing or grounding transformer maintains the rated supply voltage at normal current as well as when a solid single line to ground fault current flows through it.
The rated voltage of an earthing or grounding transformer is the line to line voltage on which it is intended to be used. Current rating of this transformer is the maximum neutral current in Amperes that the transformer is designed to carry in fault condition for a specific time. Generally the time interval, for which transformer designed to carry the maximum fault current through it safely, is taken as 30 second.

Q: How can we access dynamically created controls in C# windows application? I am designing C# windows application using 3-Tier architecture, Basically i am making management system for super market in which i have created a form for generating BILL. I have used FlowLayout panel for generating 4 ComboBoxes, 3 TextBoxes and 2 Numeric UpDown respectively to hold Bill values accordingly. I have supplied add button with which we can create these controls dynamically on each button click, so, for example, when user clicks on the add button to add new item, new row will be generated with 4 CBs, 3 TBs and 2 NUpDowns. Having mentioned the scenario, I have following queries:

*

*How can i access each and every of the control in each row in turn? So, for example, I want to access 3rd ComboBox of 5th row, How can I access that in particular.

*I am using 3-tier application architecture to design the application. I have placed their functions in BusinessLogicLayer and have called them in UI in button event. Am i alright with this approach?

*I want each ComboBox, in each row, to be connected with the first one. for example first one indicates main category when user selects anything from that, second combo box(sub category) should show items connected with the first one and so on. How can i do that?

Thanks

A: I don't know the very architecture of your application, but let me try and help you. Assumed you have some sort of Customer, Product and Order objects for your business logic the workflow could be the following
void ButtonFindCustomer_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    m_order.Customer = Customer.Find(TextBoxFirst.Text, TextBoxLast.Text, TextBoxCustomerID.Text);
}

void ButtonAddProduct_Click(object sender, Event args)
{
    m_order.AddArticle(Product.Find(TextBoxArticleNumber.Text), NumericUpDownArticleAmount.Value);
}

void ButtonSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    m_order.Place();
}

I used the prefix for the member variable here just for clarity, for the lack on context. In your real code you should avoid it. Furthermore I have omitted the check if the user exists in ButtonFindCustomer_Click, this case should be handled, too. In ButtonAddProduct_Click the case a product is added is handled. Again the existence of the product is assumed, thus you'll have to introduce some error handling here, for example by using something like
if(Product.Exists(productNumber))
{
    // add to order
}
else
{
    // emit error message
}

The actual transaction is performed in the ButtonSubmit_Click handler. The order is validated and then sent to the data access layer (for example written to a SQL-Database). Once again the error handling is missing, please keep that in mind.
To get to your actual questions:
1) You'll somehow have to keep track the controls you created. If you are always creating them in the same groups, you should consider a user control, which avoids keeping track of which controls belong together. The control could - for example - contain a drop down box for categories, a drop down box for products and a numeric up down for the amount.
class ProductSelector : UserControl
{
    ... //add controls to user control

    public event EventHandler CategoryChanged;
    public event EventHandler ProductChanged;
    ...

    public void PopulateCategories(list<string> names, list<string> ids)
    {
        ...
    }

    public void PopulateProducts(list<string> names, list<string ids)
    {
        ...
    }
}

Now any time anything about the product is changed, you'll receive an event and can directly access your user control and all necessary data (if you wrote the functions in ProductSelector). If you want to access the controls in turn, you can either get all controls of type ProductSelector from MainForm.Controls or create a list of all ProductControls you added.
2) Yes, I think you'll be alright with this approach. Somewhere you'll have to access the functions of your BLL and UI event handlers are a good starting point for.
3) Please see me answer to 1).
I hope my explanation met your requirements and answered you questions. Feel free to ask, if I may help you any further.

Q: Would this short circuit? My computer case has a built in fan which uses a Molex 8981 connection for power, but before reaching the fan, the wires split to form another male molex connector.

My problem is that if I was to use the male Molex connection, surely it would short circuit the fan or vice versa? If not why?
Thanks in advance.
Similar fan:

A: What you have here is two "outlets" connected together in parallel. You are plugging a fan into one of the outlets and perhaps something else into the other outlet.
This is just like when you plug your computer into the power outlet in the wall. Most wall outlets (in the US anyway) have more than one place where you can plug in an appliance, and they are connected in parallel just like this.
While it is possible to "short" the outlet by plugging in a defective appliance (and thus blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker), it is also quite possible to operate more than one appliance (like your computer and a monitor) at the same time.

A: Unless you aren't using the Molex male as intended, it should be safe, since the fan and anything you connect to the Molex are connected to the same source in parallel.

A: It has the pass-through connector specifically so that you can use it. It is just a way to allow you to add the fan without taking up a power connection (useful for PSUs with few connectors). Plugging something into the other connector is the whole point.
It won't short-circuit the drive or whatever you plug into the other connector unless the fan somehow shorts in itself, but then at that point, everything that is connected to the PSU is at risk (but fortunately PSUs are designed to shutdown as fast as possible when shorted, specifically to prevent damage).
The only real-world problem (as opposed to hypothetical) that you might need to consider is what you are plugging into the other connector. It is rarely an issue, but personally, I like to put my floppy and drives on the same cable as fans and give hard-drives and video-cards their own cable. The fan is unlikely to draw enough power to starve the hard-drive, but if you have a free cable, why not use that for the drive and have something less critical share with the fan?

The Force Awakens Was Great Until It Wasn't, Part 1: Finn
So you all know that I'm a Star Wars fan. And you all know that I'm a curmudgeon. So will I be a fan or a curmudgeon when it comes to the latest movie to have "Star Wars" in its title? Eh, both. I thought the first half was shockingly good, but then everything I liked about the first part turned sour. So let's spend a week looking at those elements and figuring out how they lost me.
Let's start with Finn, played by John Boyega. A stormtrooper-turned-deserter is a great idea for a character, for so many reasons:
It's something that we never saw, or even imagined, in the original trilogy. It implies right away that this movie will venture into new territory, and not just be a retread.
It automatically sets him out on a great Maslovian journey, going from literally zero to hero.
It gives the actor a lot to play, and Boyega does a great job with it.
It recreates the thematic idealism and inherent pacifism of the original trilogy: if a stormtrooper can be redeemed, then anybody can.
It gives us something else that we've never seen in a Star Wars movie before: an everyman. A guy who is essentially new to this universe and to heroism, who gets to plunge in over his head, get confused, say gee whiz to some things, and roll his eyes at others, just like we're doing in the audience. (That wasn't really what Luke was like. He was actually a pretty canny operator throughout.)
But it's that last quality that gets him in trouble in the second half. Here's the thing about everymen: they have to come into their own eventually. We love to identify with a hero at first, but then we want them to leave us behind: we don't want to play a video game in which we have to push the joystick in order to get our avatar to move.
This brings us to the other problem big problem with Finn: his motivation never tracks after the first half, even though it could have and should have.
These two problems both come to a head in a bit of dialogue that gets a nice little laugh in the theater, but harms the character irreparably: when he reveals to Han that he was actually just a janitor in the big base, and he lied to the rebellion about being able to blow it up. That's bad enough, but then he compounds the problem by implying that he doesn't particularly want to blow it up and he's actually there to save his would-be girlfriend.
I'm sorry, what? This is an everyman trope too far. He's a stormtrooper, he's agreed to lead an assault on the stormtroopers' planet-destroying weapon, so everyone he's just met and indeed the entire galaxy is counting on him. This is his chance to use his special skills and become the big hero we all want and need him to be, but he's too busy crushing? Suddenly I hate him.
And the movie doesn't really seem to like him that much either. Did you notice that they never put him on the same level with Rey, literally or figuratively? In the cantina scene where he wants to ditch out on her, he is for some reason on a lower step and a head shorter than her. Why? And that hug they have when they reunite at the base, he's hugging her low, which makes for the most friendzoney hug of all time: His big romantic gesture (I'd rather find you than save the universe!) results in zero romantic sparks. Is it any surprise that he gets knocked out and misses the finale (not even waking up for the epilogue)? At that point, he's been totally sacrificed as a character, rendered to just the role of not-Rey. It's a bummer because it turns a potentially-great character into an impossible-to-cheer-for dud.
But hey, what about Rey? Let's get to her tomorrow…
Labels: Character, Star Wars, The Force Awakens
Agreed completely. It was to the point where I genuinely hoped that he had been killed in the his (almost) final scene.
I'll be interested to see what you have to say about Rey, but for me it felt like the movie had a similar problem as the prequels of not knowing who the hero was. For the first (I have no idea how many) minutes it was clear that Finn would be the hero, and then it seemed like all of a sudden the filmmakers said "actually, this Rey character is more interesting to us, let's make her our hero".
Misa Sugiura said...
I remember feeling a let down in that moment as well. Unless we were supposed to feel disappointed? He has two more episodes to go, presumably. Still, I wanted him to man up and want to save the galaxy as well as the girl.
PS: I love your blog!

I tapped out quite a bit earlier, when Finn cheered while mowing down stormtroopers, not ten minutes after being stunned by the death of one in battle. This was his introduction and the fundamental conceit of his character, that there's humanity behind the helmets and he understands it; it should reasonably have fueled an aversion to violence or at least regret at its necessity in the face of evil. Or for the sake of survival, which we find out is much more his motive when he first meets Poe: "Why are you saving me?" "Because it's the right thing." "You need a pilot." "I need a pilot." That's twice his morality is undone in the first fifteen minutes, and then the possibility that this is the beginning of his development is undone when, as you say, he's not trying to save the galaxy, he's crushing.
A stormtrooper deserter is a great idea, but I'm not sure what they did with it. The feeling I get is that the character became subject to higher priorities, like making Rey the more prominent lead and injecting comedy throughout.
And yes, lying about being able to blow up the oscillator is crazy - and it's completely unnecessary! Finn's task was to disable the shield: if they needed him to lie to get to the base, he could've simply lied about how well he knows his way around it and volunteer to go (a double reason to capture Phasma: to lead them to the shield control).
It's funny ... I loved the movie, but I thought they ruined Finn's character in a totally different (though perhaps related) scene.
For me, it was what I think was the act 1 to act 2 break (though I don't have it plotted out, so I could be wrong on that) when he abandoned the plot for what seemed to me no good reason until the movie found ways to over-motivate him to come back.
At the beginning, we had two awesome, super-sympathetic, super-intrinsically-motivated characters who had joined the plot on very little provocation, because it was the right thing. I thought that worked GREAT. Especially for Finn, the fact that he took zero time to leave everything he'd ever known was an incredibly strong character choice--we see how strongly he's motivated by and drawn towards doing good. Not all stories work with that level of squeaky-clean hero, but I thought it was pretty perfect here.
And then, when he and Rey have literally nothing better to be doing than this adventure, all of a sudden he's leaving to go to the outer rim of the galaxy. He's running away from his new skills and new friends (who may be the only friends he's literally ever had (and I loved the interactions they'd had right before this!) to go the middle of nowhere? Why?
It was especially frustrating because the plot so easily could have given him a valid reason for second thoughts at that point in the story. Like ... he's naively done the right thing, and there are so many ways to gut-punch him into realizing he's bitten off more than he could chew. (Having to kill fellow stormtroopers who were the only family he's ever known! Revelations about the organization he's pretending he's part of but actually knows nothing about! Seriously, the list goes on.)
Instead, he wanders away from the plot (and I think Rey does too, but her scenes at this point were so confusing that I can't remember the sequence of them) and the movie just kind of hangs there for several scenes until Rey is kidnapped so Finn has to rejoin the plot. I didn't think his characterization ever recovered from that switch from internal to external motivation.
All I can think was that the screenwriters had this giant Joseph Campbell checklist and somebody said "Oh my gosh, we forgot to make him refuse the call!" at which point all the characters refused to be involved in the plot they were already well-involved in so the screenwriters could throw in unnecessary, external, and totally character-erasing motivation.
(I also thought they completely and utterly didn't earn that R2-D2 Wakes Up moment. Even if they come up with some detail later on that explains why it happened, it was just this ugly moment of "...What? Really?" They needed to earn their way out of the dark moment after Han's death, and instead they got rescued by a random plot device.)
Just to add why I think my complaint and the original post are kind of the same issue:
Finn joined the good guys on very flimsy provocation, and that was great: we learn he's willing to sacrifice a lot for what he believes is right, and he's willing to move quickly into drastic action. But it was a really naive move on his part, and his motivation needed to get deeper and more complicated at some point. The movie could have ended act 1/started act 2 with Finn realizing how naive he'd been and how much he didn't know, and seeing/realizing something that made him understand why the resistance was necessary. That way, when the time comes towards the end for him to floor us with his heroism, we'd have gotten it. Instead, the movie took away his half-baked selflessness and instead of giving him a deeper, more mature selfless motivation, it gave him the smaller, narrower, and basically selfish one of saving the girl.
(And there were many, many moments I really liked in here. Rey's payoff, that even if she didn't exactly need saving, someone had cared enough to come back for her, was lovely. But they could have made that happen even if Finn had had a deeper overall motivation.)
I agree that his sudden decision to ditch should have had a big motivation, if it happened at all, whereas instead it just seemed to come out of nowhere. And yeah, it feels like they were relying on some story guru (not unlike myself) who told them that they needed that beat there, even if it was totally inorganic to the story.
Sam Zucca said...
To me it just left me wanting more. I understand the problems with Finn's arc, and that it wasn't that solid throughout a lot of the film. The way I see it is that he is essentially in a supporting role instead of being a protagonist. He may have a significant amount of screen time, but essentially most of his actions in this is to help Rey. By looking at it from Finn's point of view, it does give a rather uneven story. But the deceit was that we were following Rey the whole time, and due to Finn having had certain tropes of the protagonist throughout, it was easy to see it as about him instead. Also, I really didn't see any of the romance element between Rey and Finn in this one. To me it boiled down to simply a friendship, they stick up for each other and at first this is what helps Finn survive. Only at the midpoint of the film do Finn's two agenda's split; he has to choose between his friend and saving his own skin. What I mainly liked about The Force Awakens is that it wasn't all tied up at the end. This is probably the Star Wars film with the most loose ends, and I think it suggests that we're getting a more structured story in terms of a trilogy instead of in single films.

This is a story of two men and their families. They are officers in opposing armies at the end of world war 11. Their initial meeting is as interrogator and prisoner-of-war. They strike up an unlikely friendship which leads them to take advantage of the chaos in post-war Berlin. They become embroiled in the dangerous world of black-marketeering,gambling and diamond smuggling which proves very lucrative for both parties. Yet, they have very different reasons for accumulating this ill-gotten wealth. One is a charismatic charmer, an adventurer, a womaniser and a risk-taker. The other has had a very privileged life and upbringing, used to the good things in life that comes with position, family status and untold wealth. However, the extreme circumstances in which he now find himself calls into question his morality, and the subsequent struggle finds it wanting! Against all odds, a strong bond of support and loyalty develops between the two which lasts a lifetime. As the aftermath of the conflict begins to settle down they have choices to make. One continues in a life of crime, the excitement and the rich rewards proving too difficult to relinquish, whilst the other, chooses the path of respectability. He becomes a well-known horse breeder and trainer. Despite their diverging life-styles and his friends notoriety, their friendship and loyalty to each other remains undiminished. And yet, each in their own way, betray their own families. The river cruiser, 'The Lady Anne', rescued from near dereliction from a canal in Amsterdam, has been instrumental in their wealth creation schemes. It is a constant thread running through the lives of the two friends and subsequently the lives of the children. The boat becomes a catalyst between the generations.


Posted on YouTube by Issa Mitri. The sound quality is not great, but it does imply a recording from the 40's. What the lady does is mesmerizing. This was the first time I hear this version and what she does is different from the improvisations we'd hear years later in the 50's performances of this jewel.
This is indeed an important discovery, whatever the real date is, despite the bad quality of the recording. I tried to improve it, at least by removing some of the hiss. However, I don't know the extent of my success (file attached). A couple of days ago, in a totally different discussion (about the dawr genre) Frederic came up with the notion of "compositional improvisation" (I'm not sure whether my "improvised" translation does justice to the concept behind the term he used), and, here, we have an outstanding example of the notion in question as it is the case in other outstanding performances such as raqqi-l-habib January 52, el-'amal January 50 or 'ahli-l-hawa May 1956.
The main instance of this is situated between ca min. 2'20" and 9"30 (another one of lesser extent comes later on when she extrapolates on the sikah section) and what happens in these instances is that the singer takes ownership of the "text" (here the composed melody) and immediately departs from it to invent his/her own melody/composition so that the new (instantly) created melody becomes the text/prevailing composition, thus reducing the original one to the auxiliary role of a mere "pre-text" (no wonder this could presumably be one of the contentious points in the litigation between Zakariya and 'um kalthum). This kind of process was specific to the dawr and was only accessible to a few of the most seasoned interpreters from the nahdha school such as Manyalawi or Hilmi. In their case, it was almost the rule, while, with 'um kalthum, such moments, however frequent, remained an exception to the normal course of the whole interpretation. From this point of view, the remarkable performances by 'um kalthum of such "modern" songs in live concerts were no more (but no less) than reminiscent traces of an extinct learned (nahdha) music genre i.e the dawr, and 'um kalthum is in my view the (late) last representative of the classical school and its aesthetics.
It is often asserted that those "excursuses" were only made possible owing to the nature and quality of Zakariya's compositions. Nevertheless, I partially disagree with that assertion. While I do recognise that the kind of compositions Zakariya and also Qasabgi (at least raqqi-l-habib and ya qalbi bukra-s-safar) did lend themselves to that kind of exercise more than Sunbati's, I still believe that the most decisive part is owed to 'um kalthum herself through her exceptional vocal capabilities, her culture and her genius. As long as she was in full possession of those faculties and had the required mental and physical . strengths, she could do it including while interpreting the most down-to-earth melodies like ya dhalimni. This was the case during the thirties, the fourties and well into the fifties (probably up to the late middle fifties" before those capabilities started receding progressively to the point when they totally vanished sometime in the early sixties.

This was the case during the thirties, the fourties and well into the fifties (probably up to the late middle fifties" before those capabilities started receding progressively to the point when they totally vanished sometime in the early sixties.
I would disagree with this harsh timeline, as always. Indeed, the music of the 1960s is not comparable to this of the 40s and 50s, but Umm Kulthum managed to remember who she was until the end, at least once a year, and made the most of what was left of her voice, relying on her genius and her new "majestic" tone. There are no El Awwela fel Gharam in the 60s, but there are magic moments, too many to be counted : Be3id 3annak Tunis 1968, Howwa sahih Rabat 1968, and the Première of Ya msahharni 1972 with the 3 impros in a row... But I am men darawish el sett, so I forgive her everything.
Glad, though not surprised, you liked it gentlemen. I tend to agree with Fred about the improvisations in the 60's. In fact, I recently heard a version of Ba'eed A'nnak that had much nicer improvisations than the Tunis one. He improvisations in the Kuwait Al-Atlal and Fat El-Mea'ad were very nice as well. And many, many more. But, as you said, within the limitations of her 60's voice.
I need to clarify what I meant to say :-) I wasn't comparing Raqq El-Habeeb to Ba'eed A'nnak, or the lady's performance in the two. But I was just saying that her genuine attempts at good improvisations last almost until the very end of her singing career, despite the limited vocal capabilities.
The thanks go to Issa Mitri. I don't know where he got this from (I hope his source has more interesting recordings).

Ulster Hockey talent coach Shirley McCay will edge closer to a remarkable 300 international caps for Ireland after reconsidering her plans to retire after last August's World Cup when Graham Shaw's team defied the odds to lift the silver medals.
The Pegasus defender, who made a record-breaking 273rd appearance in the green shirt in London, is one of eight Ulster players in a 26-strong squad for a total of five games against Spain and India in Murcia and Granada next month.
Those matches are part of a busy preparation period ahead of the start of the Olympic qualifying campaign in Dublin in June.
Lurgan-born twins, Serena and Bethany Barr, along with World Cup stars, Zoe Wilson, Katie Mullan, Lizzie Colvin are also included in the squad while there are recalls for former Ards striker Chloe Brown, who's now playing for East Grinstead and UCD's Leah Maguire, neither of whom made the cut for London.
McCay says she's feeling refreshed and hoping to realise her dream of competing in Tokyo in 2020 after three previously unsuccessful Olympic qualifying campaigns.
"It was very much on my mind to stop when the World Cup concluded but It has been and still is a dream of mine to compete in an Olympics and this is probably as good a chance as we will get.
In addition to next month's games in Spain, Ireland will play a series against Great Britain in England in March, and Canada in Dublin in May ahead of the Olympic qualifier in June.
In a busy year, Shaw's girls will then face European Championship hosts Belgium before the tournament gets under way in Antwerp in August.

This demonstration took place in the processing centre during the Apple Festival at Brogdale.
The Butchery Courses also include making sausages and can be booked online click here to see..
The sausages for this demonstration are made using pork meat. The first part of the process is to grind the meat to a size usable by the sausage making machine.
Once the meat is ground to the correct size water rusk and seasoning are added and the meat then added to the sausage machine.
The next step is putting the sausage skin onto the sausage machine nozel, only natural skin is used for the sausages.
The sausage machine then presses the sausage meat into the skin creating a long tube of sausage.
The final stage is turning the long sausage into sausages.

Hamburg's NEXT digital festival announces programme
Digital decision-makers to discuss consumers' habits in future under the motto "It's me, your digital ego". Over 1,000 delegates expected
The NEXT digital festival has announced the programme of the upcoming conference on September 22-23, 2016 in Hamburg. Over 50 keynote speakers from Europe, Asia and the United States are expected to debate topics such as the area between man and machine at venues in an around the Reeperbahn. Held under the motto, "It's me, your digital ego", this year's festival will focus on how artificial intelligence is gaining ever more ground in our everyday lives. The festival has four focal themes namely "Behaviour", "Product Design", "Platforms"" and "Artificial Intelligence". The organizers, SinnerSchrader and FAKTOR 3 agencies are expecting over 1,000 delegates.
Visitors from Silicon Valley
Matthias Schrader, CEO of SinnerSchrader and founder of NEXT, said: "Those expecting a full-day PowerPoint frontal address by suit wearers will not find them at NEXT. Inspiration comes from direct contact with authentic people and common experiences."
This year's keynote speakers include Nell Watson from the faculty of AI & Robotics at Singularity University in Silicon Valley. Watson, a futurologist, focuses on how robotics and artificial intelligence influence people and shape social developments. International experts such as Claire Burge (This is Productivity), Brian Solis (Futurist & Author), David Mattin (TrendWatching), Golden Krishna (Google) and William Boa Bean (SOSV & Chinaccelerator) will give insight into the most important global trends and developments.
The programme also offers diverse keynote speeches, panels, workshops and exhibitions in pubs, bars, club and a recording studio on the Reeperbahn.
Over 700 concerts and cultural events
Volker Martens, one of the organisers of NEXT, said: "We wanted to know what affects digital innovations will have on people's behaviour and tomorrow's consumers and thus the relation to companies. How will everyday life be affected, how will purchase decisions be made? We are curious to see what awaits us. And we wish to work on important impulses for adjusting the value chains of companies here," he added. Martens is also a member of the board at FAKTOR 3 AG.
During the Reeperbahn Festival, which is again a close partner of NEXT, delegates at NEXT can choose from over 700 concerts and cultural events. The NEXT tickets give people access to musical events at Germany's biggest club festival, which is attended by around 30,000 visitors every year.
A whole series of exciting digital events is to be held in Hamburg next month.

PMMA is hygroscopic and must be dried prior to molding. Drying at 90 C (194 F) for 2-4 hours is recommended.
Pellets for injection molding are made either by bulk polymerization of methyl methacrylate followed by extrusion and pelletization or by polymerization in an extruder. Formulations vary by molecular weight and physical properties such as flow rate, heat resistance, and toughness. Higher molecular weight grades are tougher than lower molecular weight grades. High flow formulations are generally preferred for molding.
Heat deflection temperature under load varies from 75 C (167 F) for high flow materials to 100 C (212 F) for low flow (high molecular weight) materials.
PMMA has excellent optical properties and weatherability. The white light transmittance is as high as 92%. Molded parts can have very low birefringence which makes it ideally suited as a material for video discs.
PMMA exhibits room temperature creep. The initial tensile strength is high but under long term, high stress loading, it exhibits stress craze. Impact strength is good but it does show some notch sensitivity.


Well, my first Monday Truth should be the fact that I'm having such a hard time getting back into a regular blogging routine. But that wouldn't be news to any of you. So, in a desperate attempt to get a little more regular with this routine, and share a little bit about ME (the person, not the teacher), I'm linking up with Denise for "My Truth Monday" at Sunny Days in Second Grade.
OK - here's my first Monday truth - fitness is the theme this week.
Click the pic on the right to hop on over to Denise's blog and read a few more "true confessions" from behind the teacher desk.
That's awesome. I think it would be fun to take a dance class. Ballet and I wouldn't work though. Best of luck with the dance class.
I like you am in the worst shape of my life. I've been trying to lose some weight and have made some positive changes, but I still have not got any sort of exercise routine going. I WILL get there! Congrats on your success!!!
The opposite is to be the parent to three, well into my 30's, but a first-year teacher and so overwhelmed, anxiety-ridden and stressed that I've LOST weight since school began, a LOT! I am trying to get on a healthier pattern for my mental health and general well-being. Walking the dogs, cooking dinner, taking a break from school when I need it.
I love your blog, turn to it frequently for teaching suggestions, ideas and just remembering that I can _LOVE_ teaching, not be a basketcase over it. Ballet sounds like _such_ fun, I'm glad you're enjoying it.
I'm so proud of you. I'm taking piano lessons again but that doesn't count as exercise, does it? Must. start. walking. again! You inspire me.
I love that you are taking ballet classes, and am super jealous! I too danced competitively my whole life, and now am a big couch potato. I have been searching for adult dance classes near me, but have found none! I'm sure it feels so good to be back! Good luck with it and have fun!
Good for you for finding something you enjoy doing! And then doing it. It's too easy to talk about how we should be healthier, and a whole lot harder to do it. But, as I've been reminded many times, every step you take is a step off the couch. So yay for steps, even baby ones!

Buffalo and the Sabres are close to Phil Housley's heart. ©2019, Hickling Images
Phil Housley happy for Sabres' success, doesn't want to dwell on past
BUFFALO – After the Sabres fired Phil Housley on April 7, he wasn't sure if he wanted to coach again.
Housley's dismissal after two losing seasons hit him hard. The Sabres, a team he starred for in the 1980s, and Buffalo are close to his heart.
The Hall of Fame defenseman desperately wanted to lead the Sabres back to glory.
"It's funny, because you sort of think of what you could've done differently," Housley said Sunday inside KeyBank Center, where the Arizona Coyotes prepared for tonight's game against the Sabres, his first visit back. "You don't know if you're going to be back in the game, and I didn't really know if I wanted to get back, because of what happened."
These days, Housley, 55, seems happy in his gig as an assistant coach, a role he previously enjoyed for four seasons with the Nashville Predators.
Housley warmly greeted some familiar faces when he spotted them outside Arizona's dressing room Sunday. He smiled and was upbeat during his six-minute chat.
"This place will always have a big piece of my heart, because I started my career here, I started my head coaching career here, so I've always loved the people of Buffalo," he said. "They've been very good to me. That's not going to change."
Still, Housley wouldn't revisit the past much. When asked about what he could've done differently or any disconnect with his players, he politely declined to answer.
The Sabres have changed dramatically under new coach Ralph Krueger, morphing into the NHL's biggest early-season surprise at 9-2-1.
As their terrific record indicates, the Sabres have improved in all facets of the game.
Players have lauded Krueger's communication skills and how his new system allows them utilize their instincts. They're no longer overwhelmed with Xs and Os.
"They're playing very good hockey right now and it's good to see them having success," Housley said. "I have nothing but good things to say about Buffalo. But I'm happy to be with Arizona, coaching with Rick and John MacLean and Corey Schwab – all guys I played with. So it was an easy transition for me."
Housley, of course, enjoyed some fleeting success here, most notably a 10-game winning streak last November. But the Sabres quickly fell apart, and the same team that had ranked first overall fell out of the playoff race.
Housley likely would've kept his job if the Sabres hadn't imploded down the stretch, losing 15 out of 16 games in March and early April.
"In hindsight, there's a lot of things you probably could've changed, but that's the part of being a first-time head coach, and you learn from that," he said.
After leaving Buffalo, Housley said he had "mixed emotions" running through his head.
"I was thinking about taking a year off, I was thinking about, 'Do I make some calls?'" he said.
Then Housley said three teams called him around the NHL Draft in late June.
"They were all from the southern belt," he said. "The juices started flowing again, you want to get back into it."
The Coyotes, a team coached by Tocchet, his former teammate with the Washington Capitals, hired Housley on June 26.
Tocchet said he spoke to Housley, people in Nashville's organization and Sabres general manager Jason Botterill, his friend from their days together with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
"He was very impactful in me hiring him," Tocchet said of Botterill.
Tocchet said Housley "preaches the stuff I preach."
"He's a really prepared guy," he said. "I knew he was prepared; I didn't know he was this prepared."
Naturally, Housley runs Arizona's defense and power play.
Housley's work with Nashville's blue line, perhaps the league's best a few years ago, helped him become a hot head coaching candidate.
"Our heartbeat of our team is our defense," said Tocchet, whose Coyotes have started 6-3-1. "I felt that Phil could really bring it to another level."
The Coyotes' defense, led by Oliver Ekman-Larsson, is a "veteran core trying to add more offense to our attack," Housley said.
Tocchet said Housley has brought more focus to the power play. He attributes its improvement – the Coyotes rank 15th after finishing 26th last season – to Housley's attention to details.
Housley has also started establishing relationships with his new players. Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun said Housley is "easy to talk to."
"That's huge, just to be able to relate with the guy and just have normal conversations sometimes," Chychrun said. "It doesn't always have to be hockey. It's nice to come to the rink and have a refreshing conversation, something different."

One thought on "Phil Housley happy for Sabres' success, doesn't want to dwell on past"
Philip Gibson says:
I hope Sabres fans are kind in Housley's return. He certainly gave the effort but didnt get the results. He was handed a very young team that was finding its way and experienced some highs and lows. The players are showing the growth they gained from trial by fire this season. At least in the early quarter of the season. I hope all goes well for Phil in the future and maybe get another crack at a head coaching job. Time will tell.

España tiene la sanidad más eficiente de Europa y la 3ª mejor del mundo
Así lo indica el último ranking de Bloomberg, que analiza más de 200 economías
Fuente noticia: Redacción Médica
Spain has the most efficient healthcare in Europe and the 3rd in the world
As indicated in the last Bloomberg ranking that analyses more than 200 economies.
E.O
The annual Bloomberg report has shown that the Spanish Healthcare System is the most efficient in Europe. In addition, the Spanish healthcare ranks third worldwide after Hong Kong and Singapore and followed by Italy who have made two steps forward compared to the previous year.
This report measures the efficiency of the healthcare systems through life expectancy, the per-capita-health expenditure and the relative weight of the healthcare expenditure of GDP.
In this way, Spain consolidates its position and leaves behind the results obtained in 2014, when the country was in 14th position. In the last few years, the development of the NHS in this obstacle race has been positive, jumping from this position to the 5th and in the last three years to 3rd place.
The United Kingdom has been a big surprise. In the 2015 data, the UK was in the top 10 in the healthcare rankings in Europe. The results may be due to the Brexit vote held in 2016, with the cost and the efficiency of the National Health System, a key issue for the British voters.
Results in America
In the United States the treatments are more expensive, and have not had good results in the ranking, in absolute terms and relating to the average income of the population. The life expectancy of the North Americans is 79 years, this average is exceeded by more than 25 countries.
Chile, for its part, the best classified of Latin America last year, has dropped 23 positions this year. The Chilean government spent 28 basis more points on healthcare relating to annual GDP, while the longevity of their citizens dropped more than two years.
Healthcare tourism
Thailand moved up 14 places to 27, the biggest annual improvement, despite the per capita expenditure falling by 40 percent, while life expectancy increased to 75.1 years. Health tourism is one of the most rapidly growth industries in Thailand.
In the Middle East economies, Israel and United Arab Emirates took first place and both remained in the Top 10 list of last year survey.
Costa Rica, Ireland, Lebanon and New Zealand were added to the final index this year, after having reached the threshold of population, all of them classified among the first 25.
Spain must be maintained third position or even tried to advance its position despite the upcoming warm autumn, with mobilizations announced for the main unions of the sector.

Herringbone Half Double Crochet Stitch and Herringbone Half Double Crochet Decrease- Video Tutorials!
I have a few patterns that use the herringbone half double crochet stitch as the main stitch. So I thought it was high time I make a video tutorial for it! My brand new Charlotte Cardigan crochet pattern is one of those designs that uses this stitch, as well as a hhdc2tog (herringbone half double crochet 2 together) decrease. So I've made a video for both!
I am left-handed, so this tutorial will be slightly easier to follow for left-handed crocheters, but the steps are exactly the same for right-handed crocheters, just worked in the opposite direction!
I hope you find these tutorials helpful! If at anytime you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
Red Heart has recently come out with a new yarn and when it went on sale at Micheal's I knew I had to check it out! I knew I loved Red Heart Soft, a worsted weight yarn, so I had a feeling I would love the new Red Heart Soft Essentials Yarn too!
This yarn holds to it's name. It is very soft! It's also not a very thick bulky. I'd compare it to holding two strands of worsted weight yarn together. It's not very heavy at all. When I purchased it I knew exactly what I wanted to make with it. So I brought it home and got to work. This yarn is very easy to work with. It glides through the stitches very smoothly with no snagging and very little pilling. I really enjoyed working with it.
The end result turned out beautifully! Introducing the Charlotte Cardigan!
I knew when I saw and felt the Soft Essentials yarn that I wanted to design a cardigan! It just had that cozy feel to it that would be perfect for a simple cardigan. This crochet pattern comes with instructions for women's sizes XS through 2X. It is a top down pattern with trim and sleeves added at the end. It is sew free, except for a small amount of stitching at the pockets, which are optional. The design uses the herringbone half double crochet stitch, which I have a tutorial for here. This cozy cardigan is perfect for the cool spring mornings and evenings that are coming. And this yarn is the perfect yarn for it!
You can purchase the Charlotte Cardigan crochet pattern on Ravelry and Etsy!

Frame Work for Managing Operations
An operation manager whose job is to manage the process of converting inputs (land, labor, capital and management) uses the following three approaches:
Classical Management has contributed to scientific management and process orientation theories. The basis of scientific management is a focus on economic efficiency at the production core of the organization. Economic efficiency refers the ratio of outputs to inputs. Management is concerned with labor efficiency. The school of process management views management as a continuous process of planning, Organizing and controlling.
Planning includes all activities that establish a course of action. These activities guide future decision making,
Organizing includes all activities that establish a structure of tasks and authority,
Controlling includes all activities that ensure that actual performance is in accordance with planned performance.
Behavioral Management is one of the primary theories of management emphasizing human relations and behavioral sciences. Human relations phenomenon recognized by behavioral scientists that people are complex and have needs and that the subordinate-supervisor relationship directly affect productivity. Behavioral science explores how human behavior is affected by leadership, motivation, Communication, interpersonal relationships and attitude change.
Modeling Management is concerned with decision making and systems theory and mathematical modeling of these theories. The decision making orientation considers making decisions to be the central purpose of management. System theory stresses the importance of studying organizations from a "total system" point of view. According to this, identifying subsystem relationships, predicting effects of changes in the system, properly implementing system change are all part of managing the total organization. With its foundations in operations research and management science, mathematical modeling focuses on creating mathematical representation of management problems and organizations. For a particular problem, the variables are expressed mathematically, and the model is used to demonstrate different outcomes that would result from the various possible managerial choices.
To study the Operation Management the following three approaches are created for the frame work for managing operations:
Planning: The operation manager defines the objectives for the operations subsystem of the organization and the policies, programs and procedures for achieving the objectives. This stage includes clarifying the role and focus of operations in the organizational overall strategy. It also involves planning, facilities designing and using the conversion process.
Organizing: Operation managers establish a structure of roles and flow of information within the operation subsystem. They determine the activities required to achieve the operation's subsystem's goals and assign responsibility authority for carrying them out.
Controlling: To ensure that the plans for the operations subsystem are accomplished, the operation manager must also exercise control by measuring actual output and comparing them to planned output. Controlling costs, quality and schedules is at the very heart of operations management.
Beside planning, organizing and controlling the various activities of the operation subsystem, the Operation manager is also concerned with the following two approaches;
Behavior: Operation managers are concerned with how their efforts to plan organize and control effect human behavior. They also want to know how the behavior of subordinates can affect management's planning, organizing and controlling actions. In operations we are interested in the behavior of managers as well especially their decision making behavior
Models: As operation manager plans, organizes and controls the conversion process, he encounters many Problems and must make many decisions. They can frequently simplify these difficulties by using models.

That's the vision of an Auckland-based consortium behind a bid to bring the ABB FIA Formula E Championship to New Zealand's largest city. Formula E is the fully electric motor sport championship of the global governing body for motor sport, and mobility clubs, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). Much more than just a motor race, Formula E is a spearhead for driving new technologies and innovations addressing the world's future mobility concerns – and promoting the need for a strategic approach to delivering transportation that is more sustainable, safer and smarter.
Naturally focused on the development of electric transportation, Formula E shines a light on the benefits of electrification in reducing carbon emissions, the need for deliberate infrastructure development and providing a positive economic impact, while delivering a thought leadership platform bringing global expertise that could help shape the New Zealand of tomorrow. Auckland has its own mobility challenges which, unless addressed now, could lead Aucklanders to face significantly worse congestion, higher fuel costs, an inability to meet environmental targets, and reduced and more difficult access to mobility across all areas of the city.
The championship's calendar is a "who's who" of truly global cities, such as New York, Paris, Rome, Hong Kong, Berlin, Mexico City and Santiago.Auckland would be uniquely positioned on this list as a leader of sustainable technology with ambitious decarbonisation goals as a city, and able to support an aspirational goal of delivering the world's first 100% renewable energy-powered motor race. Formula E represents a research and development hub, and a test-bed for some of the world's biggest players working on improving the future of mobility, with Audi, BMW, DS Automobiles (Citröen), Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Porsche, ABB, enel, DHL, Bosch and Michelin among those using the championship to hone their future technologies.
To deliver New Zealand and Auckland a truly global platform that could help lead to a better quality of life for all Kiwis, and advance the environmental targets of being 100 per cent renewable by 2035 and carbon neutral by 2050, the bid consortium is currently involved in discussions with central and local government stakeholders to supplement existing corporate funding committed by Vector, New Zealand International Convention Centre, Auckland University of Technology (AUT) and Drive Electric among others.
Formula E already has a strong Kiwi flavour, with New Zealand's Mitch Evans one of the drivers for the factory Jaguar team, and a variety of Kiwi-developed technology featured in the championship. The Auckland E-Prix is slated for a late 2019 or early 2020 date. Options for the venue are still being evaluated, however a downtown site requiring minimal impact on locals is favoured.
Craig Cotton, CEO, NZ Innovation Council, and a senior member of the Auckland E-Prix bid team, believes this is a unique opportunity that likely won't come again. "This is an incredible opportunity for New Zealand… From our discussions, Formula E is motivated to come here and has shown an appreciation for our inherent affinity for the environment – and our ambitious sustainability targets.
Stephen Selwood, Chief Executive, Infrastructure New Zealand"Aucklanders don't have it easy when it comes to transporting themselves around the city. When you take into consideration the immense congestion that so many deal with on a daily basis, and the fuel costs and environmental concerns faced by all Kiwis, it becomes clear that there needs to be cohesive and strategic planning to tackle these critical issues. These are topics that affect all Aucklanders' quality of life, and we need to get serious about delivering effective and forward=looking solutions.

Today, I have a really fun process art project for you to try, perfect for spring or summer. My kids invented this while we were working on some out door math activities, and spent over an hour experimenting. I love it when they get into a process art project like this because their natural love of science takes over and they set about engineering their own creations while learning the properties of matter, all on their own. Here's how the project came about, and how you can try it too.
We were working with wet cloths on the cement pavement when my daughter decided it would be fun to wash the chalk we had used the day before. She was delighted to learn that the chalk stained the dingy cloths beautiful colors. Her brother joined in the fun and then asked for some cotton balls to stain.
You can start by covering the area with water, then color in the water with the chalk. Or, you can color the area with chalk and cover it with water.
Then, just take the cotton balls and rub them in the wet chalk.
You might enjoy mixing colors to see the result.
Set everything out to dry!
This was our first experience with dying fabric of any kind. Do you have a favorite textile project?
If liked this activity, sign up for my newsletter to make sure you don't miss any of my activities or new curriculum.
It's my favorite when kids discover something on their own and are totally fascinated by it!
