"Agility is to the business what fitness is to the human body."
With rapidly emerging technologies and changing market conditions, today's organizations are often challenged by disruptive changes that impact the long term survival of the business. Companies need to rapidly innovate and scale their delivery in order to create new or increasing value for their customers.
The principles of Agile & Lean, while originating from the software development industry, are more of a culture change transformation affecting the whole organization, embedding the Agile thinking into all levels of activities within the business.
This organization-wide programme can help an organization transform their existing business processes & program/project management models to enable rapid innovation cycles and empower their workforce, thereby building Business Agility to thrive and succeed in today's demanding business environment.

Adapted from Toyota's highly successful lean manufacturing process (TPS), and originating from the Poppendieck's book "Lean Software Development", Lean Thinking helps to drive large scale change in organizations. Lean provides organizational change through elimination of waste, building a work culture that respects people, optimizing the whole process flow and seeking continuous improvement.
The AGILE Manifesto defined in 2001 are a set of core values & principles to reinvent traditional software development practices into a more nimble and adaptive approach. Up until recently Agile methods were mainly applied to the software industry but lately Agile has proven to be equally successful in helping organizations deal with changing & disrupting business imperatives.
The Agile methods help develop business agility by enabling self-organized teams, creating a rapid feedback loop to meet changing requirements, and building quality early into the process flow.
SCRUM is an Agile framework for running projects and delivering products. While it has its roots in software development projects, Scrum can be applied successfully to non-software delivery teams. Scrum helps deliver the right product at the right time to customers by improving collaboration & responsiveness in teams, predictable delivery to deliver cycles (known as sprints) to garner early feedback, and build highly engaged teams that's closer to the value stream of the business.
While Kanban started initially as an alternative Agile model to running projects, it is now recognized as a very effective approach for process change management that imbues an organization with a continuous improvement mindset. Kanban drives incremental evolutionary change by improving value stream (concept-to-cash), building leaders at all levels to support business agility and provides visualization for continuous improvement.

The cloud-computing giant has upped its work with artificial intelligence through tools such as Salesforce Einstein.
Salesforce's investment arm is launching a $50 million fund to invest in AI-focused startups.
Salesforce Ventures, the investment arm of cloud-computing giant Salesforce, is launching a $50 million fund to invest in startups focused on artificial intelligence, according to Reuters.
Salesforce has been working more and more with artificial intelligence (AI) through its Salesforce Einstein tool, which marks its first year on Tuesday. More than 7,000 developers are building AI apps with Einstein, according to Matt Garratt, vice president of Salesforce Ventures.
Interest in AI has been rising across the tech industry. According to CB Insights, deals tied to AI startups increased from 150 in 2012 to 698 in 2016. So far in 2017, $6.5 billion of capital has been handed out across more than 650 deals, compared with $5.7 billion across nearly 1,000 deals in 2016.
Garratt said the first thing Salesforce Ventures looks for in a startup is that it can use Salesforce to extend its AI technology.
"Once we find that alignment, we look for a talented management team, innovative products that extend our offerings, large market opportunity, and a strong company vision that will resonate with our customers," Garratt said.
In addition to funding, the startups will also have access to Salesforce's customer base and guidance from executives.
The first recipients of the fund are AI startups Highspot, Squirro and TalkIQ. Salesforce Ventures has also invested in All Turtles, an AI startup studio that helps founding teams and companies build AI-centric products.

Estero was established and incorporated by the followers of Cyrus Teed, who proposed a theory that we live on the inside of the Earth's outer skin, and that celestial bodies are all contained inside the hollow Earth. This theory, which he called Koreshan Unity, drew followers to purchase and occupy a 320-acre (1.3km2) tract in 1894. They were business-oriented and lived communally, prospering enough to found their own political party ("The Progressive Liberty Party") and incorporate the town on September 1, 1904 as Estero.

Please tell us, what your company "Archäologische Illustrationen" is about. Who are you and where are you based? What services do you offer and which clients do you have? What was your best project so far?
Anja: We are a team of four illustrators; all of us have a background in Archeology, Egyptology or Art History. Shortly before my PhD, I came up with the idea of making a lucrative job out of documenting and drawing archaeological finds. In 2013 we created the concept for "Archäologische Illustrationen" and started to work. We started by offering drawings, photographs and reconstructions, soon we added photogrammetry, 3D modelling and animation to our portfolio.
Conni: And meanwhile we receive inquiries from universities, research institutes, museums and heritage organizations. Most spectacular was probably the selection of gilded brooches from the 5th and 6th century, which we photographed and drew for the Archäologisches Landesmuseum Thüringen.
Recently, you have initiated a Startnext campaign, with your own colouring book: "Colouring Archaeology". What idea moved you to start this project and what can we expect? Is this colouring book only for archaeologists?
Anja: We came up with this idea because of our studies and work with the archaeological material. Also, I am obsessed with 19th century drawings and multicoloured copper engravings.
Conni: And nowadays, the craft of archaeological drawing seems to be threatened with extinction. With "Colouring Archaeology – discover the colourful past" we want to counteract this forgetting and revive the world's most beautiful finds and localities in their former colour splendour.
Martin: According to the latest scientific knowledge, architecture and sculptures were more colourful than it was long assumed and so far, there is no authentic archaeological colouring book based on real finds and historical sites.
Viki: … but also for laymen and archaeology enthusiasts, young or old.
Anja: We pay special attention to the quality. We do not want a collection of bad copies with bold outlines printed on thin paper, but high-quality materials. In the end the painted pictures can be framed and hung on the wall. Because of the high-quality paper it is suitable for pencil, felt-tip pen and even watercolours.
When talking about authenticity, does the colouring book also offer reconstructions of ancient material or only fact-based motifs?
Anja: While researching for suitable motifs, we have focused on well preserved materials. Whether objects or architecture, we wanted to stick as much as possible to the original.
Conni: Our aim is to provide historical correct drawings to give an unadulterated insight into the archaeological remains of our world cultural heritage. We want to leave the creative part up to the customers.
With this product, you are not only offering a simple colouring book, but also communication of archaeology to the public. We see this a lot with Mesoamerican Archaeology or Egyptology, but to a lesser degree with Prehistory or Near Eastern Archaeology. How balanced are your motifs within the different archaeologies?
Viki: We also noticed this imbalance and tried to find exciting motifs from different parts of the world and time periods to offer all archaeology enthusiasts a broad spectrum of colouring pages.
Martin: I think we did a good job. Colouring Archaeology presents a collection of the highlights of human history: Stonehenge, Roman mosaics, Vikings, Egyptian temples, rock paintings, prehistoric jewellery and even Mayan gods.
Anja: It is a bit of all and we are convinced that everyone will be satisfied with the selection. And if not, we have already ideas for future colouring books. But we don't want to reveal too much at this stage.
You achieved over 50% of your funding goal so far with 13 days left. Besides the colouring book, you offer a wide range of merchandise as a thank you for your supporters. What can we expect next?
Conni: Yes, we reached 50% after about three weeks, which makes us really happy.
Anja: That's right, and we hope it will continue like that! What can you expect in the future? We will certainly give away more information about "Colouring Archaeology", like sample pages, design inspirations, colouring variations. Maybe some more making of videos… let's see!
Conni: With a successful funding, we will keep our supporters in the loop about the realization of "Colouring Archaeology" with mails and photos, which we post on our website www.archaeologische-illustrationen.de and on social media.

Q: Many-to-many in same model I need to use a many-to-many relationship to one model. I have an Article model, and I want to make a function so that other articles, typically recommended, can be attached to one article.
This is the function, it should work correctly.

$article = Article::where('id', $request->article_id)->first();

$articles_ids = json_decode($request->articles_ids);

$article->articles()->attach($articles_ids);

I have a question about how to create a table of relations in the database and in the model correctly, I did it like this, but even the migration does not work for me
Model
public function articles()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany('App\Models\Article');
    }

    public function article_recommended()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany('App\Models\Article');
    }

db
Schema::create('article_article_recommended', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->unsignedBigInteger('article_recommended_id')->nullable();
            $table->foreign('article_recommended_id')
                ->references('id')->on('article_recommended')->onDelete('set null');
            $table->unsignedBigInteger('article_id')->nullable();
            $table->foreign('article_id')
                ->references('id')->on('articles')->onDelete('cascade');
        });

error in migration
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1824 Failed to open the referenced table
'article_recommended' (SQL: alter table `article_article_recommended` add constraint
`article_article_recommended_article_recommended_id_foreign` foreign key
(`article_recommended_id`) references `article_recommended` (`id`) on delete set null)

A: What are you trying to do should be fairly simple , it's like a following system where each user is related to many users ( same model ) but also same table !
you are here trying to create another table which i consider unnecessary , you only need two tables
articles & recommendations
and the recommendation tabel will act as a pivot table for articles with its self thus creating a many to many relationship with the same table .
Article.php
public function recommendations() {
        return $this->belongsToMany(Article::class , 'recommendations' , 'article_id' , 'recommended_article_id');
    }

create_recommendations_table.php
 Schema::create('recommendations', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->primary(['article_id','recommended_article_id']);
            $table->foreignId('article_id');
            $table->foreignId('recommended_article_id');
            $table->timestamps();

            $table->foreign('article_id')->references('id')->on('article')->onDelete('cascade');
            $table->foreign('recommended_article_id')->references('id')->on('articles')->onDelete('cascade');
        });

usage
$article->recommendations()->attach($articles_ids);

A: be sure that the ref-column has exact the same type as the source column (signed, unsigned etc.)

Q: Tomcat 7 URL rewrite from other domain On a tomcat 7 server, we've configured a https connector, the TLS certificate is valid for an URL like www.example.com . Now we want to change the A record of one of our subdomains (like foo.bar.com) to point to the tomcat server.
How can I rewrite/process incoming requests from foo.bar.com to use https://www.example.com in order to prevent users from getting certificate errors shown in the browser?

A: Stand up an Apache server (or virtual host) at foo.bar.com, and have it proxy connections to www.example.com:
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName foo.bar.com
  ProxyPass / https://www.example.com/
  ProxyPassReverse / https://www.example.com/
</VirtualHost>

But this won't completely work if the HTML returned from www.example.com includes links with absolute references to URLs starting with www.example.com.  In that case you'll need to use something like mod_proxy_html to rewrite the links within the content.


The CA Phonics course follows the phonemic approach which uses a sound-to-letter strategy. It includes all basic units of English vowels and consonants in addition to the concept that sounds can be represented more than one way in written form. As well as turning students into super spellers, it covers key language skills they will need to become proficiently literate.


Sulphur Experts has extensive experience in completing detailed capacity, de-bottlenecking and down-sizing studies for all types of sulphur recovery and tail gas clean-up units.
An on-site test will yield all of the process-specific data required to determine the current condition of the sulphur plant. From there, full heat and material balances are completed, and this data in conjunction with the plant's mechanical drawings are then used to evaluate each major operating component in the facility. Finally, a comparison between the test results and the original design data is made. From this it is possible to identify the maximum feed gas flow rate which can be successfully processed, and identify those units which limit the operation for any given feed gas flow rate.

Meizu Zero Holeless Smartphone is Now Listed on Indiegogo for $1299
Pavan Kumar B.C
Meizu Zero is the world's first holeless smartphone with no buttons or ports visible anywhere on it. Although you might find a small hole for microphone and a pinhole to hard reset the device if required. Although the device is on Indiegogo, it will not be available for everyone to buy as it is on pre-order for $1,299. The page has 100 devices listed which will be going for pre-order and these are labeled as "exclusive engineer unit."
There is also one exclusive pioneering unit which has already been claimed for $2,999 and it is expected to be shipped in the next five days. The goal for the crowdfunding is $100,000 and a representative from Meizu said that there is no indication on the addition of more than 100 phones as of now. The Meizu Zero's campaign is already live on the website.
Once the company reaches the funding target of $100,100 it will bring the project into reality and people pledge money to it and after reaching the target, Meizu will start manufacturing its Zero and those who have pledge above a certain threshold will be receiving the unit. It will be interesting to see, by when will the device reach the target set by the company.
The smartphone will be coming with a 5.99-inch 1080 x 2340 pixels resolutions on its AMOLED screen. Under the hood, it will be powered with a Snapdragon 845 SoC accompanied with 4GB of RAM. On the camera front, there will be a 12MP + 20MP camera set up on the rear while on the front we can find a 20MP selfie shooter. It will also come with pressure sensitive buttons on the sides and will be charged only wirelessly as there are no ports.
Furthermore, Meizu has also developed a fast 18W solution for charging, and there will not be a single SIM slot and the handset will be using an eSIM instead. What are your thoughts on this device?

You are here: Home / Websites / An SEO primer
An SEO primer
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation and it's a subject that most webmasters obsess about. You might start to obsess over it too, if you want your website to show up on the first page of Google.
Most people need at least a bit of SEO for their websites. And depending on your industry, your ambitions and where you're based, you may need A LOT of SEO. We know how to do it of course, and you could just leave it up to us and any specialists we might recommend, but if you're interested in the machinations of search then read on…
It's mainly about Google's algorithm, called 'PageRank'
Google has the lion's share of the search business (and, yes, search IS very much a business, albeit free from the point of view of the user), therefore Search Engine Optimisation is about understanding how Google works out what to show you when you type in the keywords "florists near Weybridge" or "cottages in Cornwall" or "London underground routes" or "world's rarest wines" or something.
Google uses a complex algorithm to give you its listings. The set of mathematical formulae isn't published – indeed, the algorithm is Google's closely guarded secret – but Google gives clues about the way it ranks sites on its guidelines for webmasters and occasionally it announces that it's tweaked the algorithm.
Ignore the semantics of the web at your peril
At Thameside Media we follow all of Google's recommendations about semantic markup in the coding of our websites, and we create and submit sitemaps to Google (and often also Bing, for what it's worth) soon after a website has been launched. We have found that this alone often helps websites to show up on relevant search terms.
For example, about 10 years ago I was a director of Blue Island Publishing and we had a website created from Freeway – software aimed at designers who don't want to be involved with coding semantics. When we typed the words "Blue Island Publishing" into any search engine, what happened? Nothing, that's what. There were plenty of "blue island" this and "publishing" that, but our very own site with that exact phrase match couldn't be found until about the 30th page! However, I learnt HTML coding in 2004 and built a brand new website nicely structured for SEO. Within two days we were the first listing for our company name.
But it's not just you, it's everyone around you too
What Google doesn't mention on its webmaster guidelines is what happens when lots of sites are using the same kind of content, all well structured and using the very same words, all with the "best cottages in Cornwall", the "finest wines in the world". It is the SEO experts who have worked out that the search engines are ranking web pages not only on internal content but also the number of external websites linking to a website. And according to several SEO specialists I've spoken to, the internal structure and content of a site count for less than 10% of the great Google algorithm. That's why the savvy businesses are putting all their efforts into social marketing, linking into Facebook and webzine articles. Not only are these methods good for your business generally, they also get you to the top of Google.
And what about Google AdWords?
Yes! You can pay your way to the top of Google with a sponsored listing. Exactly how much you pay will again depend on how many other people are in the market with you, paying for the same keywords. You can set a daily budget and adjust it as often as you want. The AdWords system is quite complex, and we will give you advice on how to set it up if you're interested. It's worth understanding from the start, though, that a significant number of internet users NEVER click on the sponsored listings as a matter of principle – they stick to the organic listings. Also, the cost of AdWords can be extraordinarily high in relation to potential sales. £2–£3 per click is not at all uncommon and rising to an astonishing £40 per click on some keywords!
Thameside Media will help you through the maze of SEO.

The following descriptions are designed to assist the layman in selecting the proper engineering/land surveying services. The descriptions are general and the firms listed on the back page should be contacted for further clarification.
Land Development Planning (LD) Land development engineering firms perform a wide array of services associated with the subdivision of land and the improvements necessary to prepare a site for building. The engineering firm may help prepare a conceptual plan for a development, which may include preliminary environmental evaluations, take the project through the governmental approval process, prepare plans for site improvements (i.e. grading, roads, sewers, waterlines, drainage facilities, etc.). surveying, and generally take all steps necessary to subdivide a parcel of land.

Tasks commonly associated with land surveying include boundary surveys to establish property lines, topographic contour maps, laying out the alignment of roads, pipelines, etc. from engineering drawings, and controlling the location and height of grading operations. Many more specialized tasks may be performed by a surveyor. A qualified land surveyor can answer questions regarding land ownership and boundary location and also advise on the proper course of action.
Structural engineering is the analysis and design of structural members or systems to resist gravity and lateral (wind or earthquake) forces. Typical projects include structural calculations and drawings for retaining walls, and all types of buildings (except Public Schools and Public Hospitals).
Soil engineering deals with soil stability and geologic issues. Typical projects include investigations to determine soil characteristics on a building site, slope stability problems, building settlement issues, and quality control for grading projects. Many geotechnical firms also have capabilities to study ground water movement, and other related subsurface issues.
Septic system design and engineering deals with the testing and design of on site subsurface sewage disposal systems in areas where public sewer is not available, typically in the unincorporated areas of the County.
Hydrology/Hydraulics typically include the preparation of hydrologic and hydraulic reports, erosion control plans, storm water management plans, analysis and design of storm water BMP's, and flood control facilities. Services might also include more advanced riverside and floodplain management studies.
Traffic engineering firms deal with traffic planning. Demographic data is used to predict where new streets are needed, when a street must be widened, where traffic control devices are needed and other similar information.
Photogrammetric services include aerial photography, topographic and planimetric mapping, GIS base mapping, digital orthophotos and photogrammetric consulting. Products rendered can be delivered as hard copy plots and /or magnetic media.
The firm prepares a conceptual plan for development with the Civil Engineer/Land Surveyor in taking the project through the governmental approval process.
The firm prepares environmental studies and evaluations in conjunction with development, and works with the Civil Engineer/Land Surveyor in taking the project through the governmental approval process.


The tabulation of the 2016 Presidential election results from the fifty three constituencies was done correctly.
Furthermore, regional election results were also tabulated correctly from Banjul to Basse Administrative Areas. However, when the total votes per region were being tallied, certain figures were inadvertently transposed. Instead of adding the total number of votes polled by Mr. Adama Barrow in the Basse Administrative Area, the IEC added the total number of ballots cast for Basse Administrative Area to Adama Barrow's total number of votes thus swelling the number of votes Mr. Barrow polled nationally.
This error was repeated across for the other contesting candidates.
This result which has not changed the status quo was unanimously endorsed by the representatives of the contesting candidates at Election House this morning, 5th December 2016.

JENKINS, ROBERT THOMAS (1881 - 1969), historian, man of letters, editor of Y Bywgraffiadur Cymreig and the Dictionary of Welsh Biography

Author: John Gwynn Williams
Born 31 August 1881 in Liverpool, son of Robert Jenkins and Margaret (née Thomas). The family moved to Bangor when his father was appointed clerk to William Cadwaladr Davies, registrar of the new college, but after the early death of his parents (his mother in 1887 and his father in 1888) he was raised by his mother's family at Bala; he always acknowledged a deep debt to his grandmother, Margaret, and to her husband, William Dafis, a coalmerchant. Profoundly influenced by the town of Bala, its craftsmen and his recollections of notable inhabitants, its sturdy Welsh culture, the old grammar school and the denominational colleges, it was thus natural for him often to rejoice that he had been baptized by Thomas Charles Edwards. He was firmly grounded in Latin by John Cadwalader Evans, headmaster of the grammar school, and in 1898 he won a scholarship to Aberystwyth, where he specialized in English under Charles Harold Herford, who fired in him an abiding interest in the history of ideas and in the literature of the 18th century. In 1901 he was placed in the first class. He tended to be critical of Aberystwyth for the remainder of his days and he left joyfully for Cambridge (where he was sizar at Trinity College). Owing to financial privation he was not very happy there either and it was Oxford which increasingly fascinated him during his maturer years. Although he had studied history and English at Cambridge, philology was his chief interest and after his examinations he was strongly urged to study the subject in Germany. Lack of funds obliged him to look for work. At first, because of a slight speech impediment, he hesitated before applying for a schoolmaster's post, but in the event he pursued this vocation with exceptional success from 1904 to 1930, at Llandysul (for some months), at Brecon from 1904 to 1917, and thereafter at the City of Cardiff High School for Boys. He lost none of his early love for the classics, English and French literature, but at Brecon he researched in earnest for some years into the origins of feudalism, equipping himself with a Cambridge LL.B. in order to understand Roman law. Although he discontinued his early research the knowledge he had acquired was of inestimable benefit to him and history henceforth became his main passion. In 1916 there appeared his first article in Y Beirniad on the Tudor period in Wales (the opening chapter in Yr Apêl at hanes), and from 1922 he contributed without intermission to Y Llenor until 1951. The Cardiff years were exceedingly fruitful. In 1928 there appeared a history of Wales in the 18th cent, Hanes Cymru yn y Ddeunawfed Ganrif (in the series entitled Y Brifysgol a'r Werin), which won him a secure place amongst Welsh historians, and in 1930 Yr Apêl at hanes, Ffrainc a'i Phobl and Gruffydd Jones, Llanddowror. In 1930 he was appointed independent lecturer in Welsh History at Bangor, though he did not become a professor until 1945, three years before his retirement. He accounted it a great privilege to be closely associated at Bangor with Sir John Edward Lloyd and here too he derived endless pleasure in the company of select, distinguished colleagues who met regularly to converse in lively, often mischievous fashion in the room of (Sir) Ifor Williams.
In 1937 he became editor of the history and law section of the Bulletin of the Board of Celtic Studies, in 1938 assistant editor of Y Bywgraffiadur Cymreig and in 1947, after the death of Sir J.E. Lloyd, joint-editor with Sir William Llewelyn Davies. The Welsh version appeared first in 1953 and when its English counterpart, The Dictionary of Welsh Biography down to 1940, was published in 1959, incorporating numerous corrections and additions, he was the sole editor. He had already given substantial service to the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion for, with Helen Ramage, he had prepared A History of the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion to celebrate the bicentenary in 1951. He was Warden of the Guild of Graduates of the University of Wales from 1940 to 1943 and a member of the Councils of the National Library and the National Museum of Wales. The degree of D. Litt. of the University of Wales was conferred upon him in 1939 and the LL.D., honoris causa (Wales), in 1956. In 1953 he was honoured with the Gold Medal of the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion. In 1956 he was appointed C.B.E.
R.T. Jenkins was a many-sided man. His interests extended into various directions, including theology and architecture. France always remained close to his heart. As early as 1922, in an article in Y Llenor, he drew his countrymen's attention to the Catholic reaction in France. He had often travelled in France and he loved her fertile valleys and her tiny castellated towns, especially in those areas where the remains of Rome and of the middle ages were most marked. Yet his interest in Brittany was slight and Pan-Celtic ideas he considered bogus. His book on France and her people, Ffrainc a'i phobl, endures as an exceedingly readable introduction for the Welsh -speaking Welshman who wishes to understand the roots of French civilization. He had an unusually tenacious memory - rather like glue, he once said - but he was not overwhelmed by the detailed information always at his finger-tips. Indeed, he was never much enamoured of the formal apparatus of scholarship for his works aimed at a wider readership than a band of experts and he was loath to bewilder the ordinary, intelligent reader with the many footnotes which are handmaidens to other scholars. On the whole, The Moravian brethren in north Wales (1938) is rather an exception, though it is certainly very readable. His chief purpose was to discover the individual in his own habitat and to weigh the ideas and motives which impelled him to act as he did in fair weather and in foul. He compressed his astute remarks within the bounds of short paragraphs where others multiplied words over many pages. (Consider, for example, his treatment of conservatism in Hanes Cymru yn y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg (1933), pp. 29-32, or of the differences between the old Dissenters and the Methodists in Yng nghysgod Trefeca (1968), pp. 22ff). Like Sir J.E. Lloyd, whom he so much admired, he had a thorough knowledge of the land and soil of Wales, and on foot, by bus or in a friend's car he measured by the pipeful the travels which were the firm foundation of his historical writing. Although it was for children that he wrote on the roads of Wales, Y ffordd yng Nghymru (1933), it would be difficult to find a better introduction to the history of Wales. He succeeded in conveying the magic and the flavour of the centuries, but his chief field was the 18th century, especially Methodism. He was sufficiently close to that tempestuous movement to understand the fiery forces released by successive revivals and yet to remain sufficiently impartial and sound of judgement to reject the old denominational prejudices which had poisoned the history of religion in Wales until his own day. It is not surprising that it was this Methodist who was invited to write an account of a notable Congregational cause, the excellent Hanes cynulleidfa hen gapel Llanuwchllyn (1937). He has been compared to Macaulay, J.R. Green and Maitland, and although there is a grain of truth in each of these assertions, his own ideal was G.M. Trevelyan. Yet, at bottom he was unique and in Wales there has been no one like him. Nor should be lightly dismissed his work, together with William Rees (his former pupil at Brecon), in preparing The Bibliography of the history of Wales (1931), nor on any account his selfless commitment to The Dictionary of Welsh Biography. In addition to his editorial duties he wrote six hundred pieces, and both versions have guided our footsteps.
A number of essays appeared in Casglu Ffyrdd (1956), Ymyl y ddalen (1957), Yng nghysgod Trefeca (1968) and Cyfoedion (1974). It was the essay which appealed to him most, and doubtless his conversational style, his use of brackets and italics were more appropriate here than in other literary forms. During World War II he became convinced that it was his duty to prepare light literature for the public at large rather than scholarly studies. He cooperated happily with D.R. Hughes and others to prepare the monthly, Cofion Cymru distributed gratis to Welsh -speaking Welshmen who served in the armed forces throughout the world to keep them in touch with Wales and their heritage. He believed that he had contributed to every issue of Cofion, and his short stories appeared under the pseudonym Idris Thomas, which he also used to disguise his authorship of Ffynhonnau Elim (Llyfrau'r Dryw, 1945), where the conversation is in a south Wales dialect. His other novel was the splendid masterpiece Orinda (1943), which recreates the troubled atmosphere of the Commonwealth and Restoration and its effect upon a Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford. Shortly before his death there appeared a volume of his memoirs, Edrych yn ôl (1968), surely the most entertaining autobiography ever written in Welsh. As schoolmaster and lecturer he was peerless; learning and humour flowed from him and he won the affection of his pupils, 'my younger friends', as he called them. It was in Bangor that he spent the greater part of his life; there he reached his full maturity and there the recollection of him is at its sweetest and most fragrant. He died 11 November 1969, his remains being buried in Bangor cemetery. After a national appeal, the R.T. Jenkins memorial lecture was founded in the college in 1972.
He married twice: (1) in 1907 to Mary Davies, Aberystwyth (who died in 1946) and (2) in 1947 to Myfanwy Wyn Williams, Aberdare.

With their spiky crown and exotic diamond-patterned skin, pineapples are as beautiful as they are delicious. Pineapples, or ananas as they are known in Europe, are at their best when fresh but slicing through their tough exterior is a task that can pose a few challenges. That's where this video from Betty Crocker comes in to save the day. In just 55 seconds you'll learn how to cut a pineapple safely and swiftly so you can toss it into a fruit salad, grill it, make a smoothie or add it to a tasty pork stir fry.
Pineapples are indigenous to South America and didn't crop up in Hawaii (the world's leading producer) until the late 1700s. When choosing a pineapple be sure to select fruit with green leaves and no yellow or brown tips. The pineapple itself should yield sightly to the touch and once cut should be consumed within three days.

RAIL Was Originally Formed in 2001
RAIL was originally formed in 2001 by a group of concerned residents who are immediately affected by Canadian National Rail's proposal to construct an Intermodal Terminal in Milton. We quickly realized the potential impact this would have on Milton and Halton Region. The group rallied together and researched intermodal terminals in North America and their impacts on the environment, health and safety and the local communities. RAIL would like the public to be aware of the resulting hazards and effects this site could have to the entire area. We feel this includes ALL of Halton Region.
With the recent announcement in 2015, CN's proposes to build a 400-acre intermodal terminal, now rebranded as a "Logistics Hub." This was a surprise as CN had announced in 2008 that they no longer intended to build the terminal in Milton. RAIL feels that this will have an even greater negative impact on Milton and Halton Region, as our beautiful community has grown substantially. The official plans of the Town and Region have been revised for growth, BUT NOT to accommodate this terminal.
Development of the Proposed Milton Intermodal Terminal by
CN will affect YOU, Your Family, Friends & Neighbours
Canadian National Rail is proposing to build an Intermodal Terminal to be located in the southern part of Milton. This facility is expected to be up and running by the end of 2018. It would be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year! (24/7/365)
To date (July 20, 2015), CN has not made an application to the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA), but has applied to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA); as legally required.
The Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of the Environment, Minister of the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency and Minister for the Arctic Council, today announced the referral of the environmental assessment of the proposed Milton Logistics Hub Project in Ontario to an independent review panel.
Milton RAIL continues to do research to look at the impacts that may arise with the development of CN's proposed intermodal terminal.
Every Person's Responsibility
Milton RAIL would like to acknowledge the commitment of each of our Town, Regional, Provincial and Federal representatives currently in office. We recognize each of the representatives currently running for a Federal office position. We thank each and every one of you for standing up to represent and serve your community. We recognize that anyone in a political position today did not anticipate the added burden and responsibility of dealing with CN's proposed Milton Logistics Hub Project.
We recognize this is naturally a part of your platform for the current Federal Campaign, as the proposed CN Logistics Hub is the biggest issue Milton has faced to date. We are not asking you to confirm this as part of your platform today, or for the upcoming weeks, as you may expect. We want to know how strongly you are committed to stopping CN's proposed Milton Logistics Hub Project. Only one candidate will be voted in to office for this election. We want to know how strong your commitment is, and will you be standing beside us and the person elected, to continue to give your support to stop the proposed CN logistics hub after October 19th? Will you be standing on October 20th and remain standing for this cause? Ask yourself: How committed are you to this campaign? After all, you are each residents of Milton and will be impacted by this project should it go through.
We need a strong team of support. Our elected officials must all work together towards this common goal. Realistically this fight will continue for a few years. It is not only likely that we will see a new municipal government before this is over, we will see new municipal, provincial and federal government before this is over. So please do not use this as your platform to simply obtain votes. Commit to the entire fight not only because it is the right thing to do for you and your family, but for the current and future residents' of Milton and Halton.
Today we encourage you to become completely familiar with the processes; the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and the Panel Review Process; the Canadian Transportation Agency application and what happens if the decision goes to Cabinet? No one person can stop this project, and it may go to the Cabinet for a decision. In the meantime ALL levels of government must coordinate to stop this. We need to put pressure on our Provincial Government to become involved.
We need to do this not only to protect our community, but also to protect the next community in Canada who may be faced with such a project. Only in Canada, do the railways feel they are exempt from the local, municipal and provincial regulations. In the US railways are required to work with local municipalities and this MUST change in Canada.
Our local fight is an example of how any community in Canada can be impacted and even violated by railway companies like CN. This is not simply a local issue. We are setting a precedent for the next Canadian community facing the railways' next project proposal.
You may liken this issue to a big family wedding. You may not like everyone that is invited to the party, you may not want to sit at the same table, but you are all there for one common component. So remember, you will need to work with all of the people in the community and in various levels of government. Those roles and positions and parties may change over the next few years. Remember why you are running for office and know that you can't anticipate who will be seated at your table next.
Let's leave a clear mark for the next group that comes to the table, we don't want to start at the beginning at each change of government. We simple don't have the time to waste!
CN Intermodal Hub Changes Everything
Are any of the changes (as CN would like us to believe) good for Milton? You be the judge.
CN states that the planned hub is located "Close to 400 series highways for truck-haul routes". The closest non-toll highway access to the CN terminal is 10+ kilometres. From there truckers will have to make their way to the CN Hub, passing through our neighbourhoods.
If CN is allowed to build an Intermodal Hub in Milton, there will be 1600 huge freight trucks driving along Highway 25 or James Snow Parkway and then Britannia Road every day of the year, 24-hours a day.
There will be a constant rumble of truck noise in our neighbourhoods. This could be disturbing to your sleep. CN states: "CN will control the route of up to 20% of the facility vehicle traffic as those vehicles are CN property. The travel routes of CN controlled vehicles can be planned to minimize road vehicle emissions impact."
There are two problems with this assurance:
First - CN's train traffic safety record is less than stellar, so why would we be comforted by their assurances that safety will be better with their trucks, and;
Second - They will only have control over 20% of the trucks. That leaves 80% of trucks that they will have no control over.
There will be increased dust particles floating in our air, causing lung and breathing problems.
There will be diesel emissions (a Class I carcinogen which causes cancer) causing air pollution.
We will not know for certain what products the intermodal containers hold. If they have a slow leak, while either on the trains or trucks, our environment could be damaged. It would then be our cost to find the culprit and have charges laid. This is difficult and costly.
There will be damages to our roads from the great number of heavy truck loads. The road repair expenses will fall to the tax payers – local land and business owners.
There will be increased traffic congestion and gridlock, causing extra stress as citizens try to go about their daily activities.
1600 truck trailers are equal to more than 30 km of additional trucks daily. Think of the line of vehicles waiting to turn at all traffic lights on the routes mentioned above.
CN says their facility will provide extra tax revenue to the town; actually:
They are protected from the local tax base, being under federal rules. They therefore pay much less than local residents or business owners.
The land south of Britannia has been designated by the town and region for land use rated at a much higher tax revenue base when developed. This will not be possible if CN builds the hub, resulting in a tax loss, which will have to be collected from the rest of us.
The negative changes to the area as a result of the hub will decrease property values. This will decrease the tax base for our town even further, likely causing an increase in our tax bills.
In Memory and Appreciation
Milton RAIL was formed more than 14 years ago. Some people are no longer with us as they have moved away from Milton, and some have passed. As Chair, I, Rita Vogel Post would like to acknowledge everyone who dedicated their time towards this initiative and thank those who have recently taken this on. Your dedication to our community is appreciated more than you will ever know. It's not about public recognition, it's about dedication and stepping up and doing what is right even when it seems that all odds are against you. We are certainly committed to the David and Goliath fight!
Special thoughts of thanks and goes out to John (Jack) Gent, Phyllis Way and James Wanless who have passed. We feel you are still here with us in this fight! We want to acknowledge their support and hard work through the years.
I affectionately dubbed Jack (Mr. Gent) as "Mr. Wizard", he was smart and witty and gave freely of his time to share his knowledge and expertise with environmental issues and so much more! Your dedication and passion is still felt with us to this day.
Phyllis was one of many who walked through all of Milton distributing flyers. She stood at tables and booths at countless events, collected signatures and handed out information. We hope you are getting some rest now, we can't even guess how many kilometres you walked for the cause to "Stop CN in its Tracks".
Thank you to Jim for originally agreeing to co-chair the RAIL group. I did not have the confidence to volunteer to chair on my own at first. Clearly you knew I could do it and I appreciated your support. Thanks for all the info on light trespass; it has been very helpful indeed.
We thank each and everyone who supported Milton RAIL in 2001 and those of you who are committed to supporting it now. We invite you all to join in the effort to stop the CN proposed intermodal terminal. It's not a done deal and we still believe we can STOP CN IN ITS TRACKS!

While there are lively debates about whether or not the Future is Distributed, at Truss we're having a pretty solid time of it. Running online meetings is just the beginning of making sure your distributed team is included, and we're continually working to improve our distributed practices.
We have a running doc of practices we want to try. Our goal is to fail at least occasionally -- it means we're actually reaching further than our grasp. Here are a handful that we've recently tried, and to what result.
One of the things we missed most in becoming fully distributed was the human bonding time we got with our rad coworkers while in the office together. One of our attempts at addressing this has been a standing video link which people can jump into and out of to "cowork" with each other. There's sometimes some idle chitchat, and then often heads-down working.
if under 9 participants, each person gets 2 minutes to talk about anything at all they want to, so long as it's not work.
if it's more than 9 participants, a quick checkin happens on how people are feeling, and then breakout groups of 3-4 people each for a deeper dive.
We sometimes have a prompt ("what's one story about you that you think really represents what you're like?" or a show-and-tell.
Has this ever happened to you? You log in on the East Coast after a sick day, and you have no. idea. what is going on with different stories. Did someone delete that blocker, or has it been worked around? And it's 3 hours before anyone else who might know what's going on will be online.
We now have a Slack channel called #in-out-status where people give a brief summary of the status of what they were working on before they go out for the day. It's evolved to be a place where we also flag when we're in for the day, going to lunch, taking a sick day, etc.
The project I manage recently hit a big milestone in October. While it was more of a non-event than our June release, there was still some stress around it, and a celebration was warranted. I set up a 2-hour session -- the first hour of which was to catch up with each other (similar to Being Humans Together, but less structured), and a second hour to wander around where each of us is, and post pictures back to the group. The pictures were to put everyone on equal footing, rather than prioritizing office Trussels.
Also, during the first hour, I had lined up (what I thought would be) synchronized treat delivery to people regardless of location, scheduling deliveries for the time of the zone of delivery (IE, deliveries marked for 11:30 PT, 13:30 CT, and 14:30 ET in the interface should all arrive at the same point in time).
It ends up this is not a use case for this particular delivery service.
While all the cupcakes (plus one cookie order and one bundt cake order for some destitute places of the world which don't have cupcakes available for delivery) for people in my timezone arrived as expected, 2 folk received theirs at the time requested but in MY timezone (hours late), and 2 received theirs hours early (for conversion errors I don't understand).
While it didn't work out this time, everyone felt included and celebrated. Definitely worth trying again at some point.

China posts trade deficit in sign of rebalancing
BEIJING (Reuters) - China recorded a rare trade deficit in the first quarter of the year on the back of domestic economic strength and rising global commodity prices, the customs administration said on Sunday.
From January to March, China imported $1.02 billion more than it exported, marking its first quarterly trade deficit since 2004, the General Administration of Customs said.
The trade numbers showed that China's economy was evolving in a more sustainable direction by becoming less reliant on exports, said Isaac Meng, economist with BNP Paribas in Beijing. That is an essential ingredient in the rebalancing that analysts say is needed to put the global economy on more stable footing.
"Even though the exchange rate is only slowly appreciating, strong inflation, especially labor costs, is making the rebalancing happen," Meng said.
Zheng Yuesheng, statistics chief with the customs administration, told state television that the first-quarter deficit was likely to be "temporary," but added that the full-year trade surplus would be smaller in 2011 than 2010.
In March alone, China reported a tiny trade surplus of $140 million, following a $7.3 billion deficit in February.
China's exports were up 35.8 percent in March from a year earlier, while imports rose 27.3 percent from a year earlier. Economists had expected exports to rise 21.0 percent year on year and imports to increase 19.5 percent year on year, producing a trade deficit of $4.2 billion.
The first-quarter trade deficit is partly a seasonal issue because Chinese exports tend to be slow early in the year. But it also speaks to the progress that China is making toward having a more balanced trade relationship with the rest of the world.
Less about any specific policy, this is a reflection of basic economic reality. China already is the world's biggest exporter and so has little scope to increase its exports further, while its demand for imports is increasing in leaps and bounds alongside its ultra-fast growth.
China has faced calls from the United States, the European Union and others to let its yuan currency appreciate more quickly as a way to cut its yawning trade surplus.
Beijing has opted for gradual nominal appreciation -- the yuan has gained just 4.5 percent against the dollar since being depegged last June -- but rising costs are translating into faster real appreciation and denting demand for Chinese exports.
On the import side, officials have repeatedly vowed to buy more foreign products to reduce the country's huge trade surplus. For now, though, soaring global commodity costs were the more immediate factor driving up China's import bill.
Prices of "primary products" -- raw materials and energy -- jumped 29.7 percent in the first quarter, significantly pushing up the cost of Chinese imports.
For instance, import prices of iron ore, a key input for Chinese steelmakers, jumped 59.5 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier, the customs administration said.
In another example, soybean import prices -- China is the world's biggest buyer -- rose 25.7 percent in the first quarter, though absolute import volume fell 0.7 percent year on year.
Wang Hu, an economist with Guotai Jun'an Securities in Shanghai, said Chinese imports were always strong in the first quarter as domestic firms make purchases for full-year investment and production plans.
"China's exports are likely to remain strong in coming months with recovering demands in the United States and Europe, and China will report a trade surplus in coming months," Wang said.
JAPAN IMPACT
The biggest question mark hanging over China's trade activity is the extent to which Japan's earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis will cause trouble.
"People are still trying to assess the impact of Japan, so it's not easy to say whether this pace can be maintained. It is likely to slow down much more in the second quarter," said BNP's Meng.
The Japanese disaster was already have an impact, Zheng, the customs official, told state television.
"As the world's third largest economy and the biggest source of Chinese imports, Japan is set to affect part of China's foreign trade," Zheng said.
Chinese imports from Japan rose 16.6 percent year on year in March, 2.4 percentage points lower than the 19.0 percent pace recorded in February.
China's imports of auto parts and machinery will bear the brunt of disrupted production in Japan, Zheng added.
Wang from Guotai Jun'an said the disaster in Japan may help Chinese exports in the long run despite short-term disruptions.
"Japan accounted for about 8 percent of Chinese exports, and the immediate impact will not be significant. From a longer-term view, the reconstruction in Japan will mean huge demand for Chinese products," Wang said.

Scottish designers are showcasing the future of the hybrid home at London Design Festival
Edinburgh-based Local Heroes curatorial studio shares a sneak peek of its London Design Festival show which seeks to establish what the future of our homeware might look like.
Dalia Al-Dujaili
Now that working from home might look like the new normal for many of us indefinitely, what does this mean for the future of our homes' interiors? How do we begin to accommodate a new workspace in our living spaces?
15 Scotland-based designers have presented 40 new design objects for a vision of this novel hybrid home including furniture, lighting and collectible craft as part of Brompton Design District at London Design Festival. The Future of Home curated by Local Heroes hopes to convey a sense of curiosity and discovery which it says can be found within Scotland's dynamic design culture. It hopes to do this through new materials, innovative processes and designs on show courtesy of emerging designers and their latest products. The rising designers include Jeni Allison, Walac and Urpflanze.
Stacey Hunter, director of Local Heroes, felt it is important to highlight the new fluidity between workspace and living space for many people, especially those who don't live in large homes – "It's more important now than ever to maximise the utility of furniture and lighting. So why not have a dining table that's also a beautiful work desk?"
Hunter, talking through a few pieces, explains that, for example, the addition of a hidden drawer makes Simon's Harlow's piece "multifunctional as well as beautiful," whilst Walac x Juli Bolaños-Durman have collaborated to create The Isles of WonderGlass, a series of one-of-a-kind lighting sculptures. Hunter relays they are "composed of piled-glass towers and fluted loops, reminiscent of funfairs and abstract scientific devices", bringing "joy and fantasy into a space as well as the functionality of providing light. So many of the objects are about finding some happiness amidst the scarcity and isolation of the pandemic."
Apart from these design elements, the show is about making our homes brighter, more tactile and more individual, says the director. She continues that "Nicholas Denney's side tables have this amazing condensed pattern that replicates the systems of natural geological forms – you can get lost in it. The Glasgow Triptych by James Rigler uses the language of grandiose buildings but splices it with humble object types: a shelf, a light, and a bench." With this collection, it's about the immediacy of design whilst prioritising comfort.

For Hunter, the main challenge when curating "is the same one that most creative people are facing right now." She claims that Brexit has created chaos so it was very hard for her to plan an exhibition or even a photoshoot because sourcing is difficult at this moment. It's been interesting, though, for her to see how designers are adapting to this by becoming ever more resourceful. "For example", she demonstrates, "Chalk Plaster, as well as producing its own pigments from minerals found on the beaches close to its studio, also use gypsum from recycled plasterboard and lime from oyster shells washed up along the coast of the Firth of Forth in order to produce its own, hyper-local materials."
Although the design industry can be very "trend-led", Stacye Hunter found it refreshing to have unconventional forms and approaches, "like Myatt-McCallum's concrete indoor/outdoor furniture and Bespoke Atelier's 'no-rules' wallpaper that doesn't need to be matched."
All the exhibitors were chosen personally by Stacey Hunter. When I ask her to pick just a few to highlight, she explains that the Monstera-inspired chandelier by Urpflanze is "just amazing; it's so irreverent and unique. I love designs that have an irrepressible glee about them." Whilst she says Mirrl's Fossil material is adaptable – "they've made a table for us but it could also be a kitchen counter or a statement shelf, and the narrative of the little inclusions or 'mini histories' as Mirrl put it, is so compelling."
Another of the pieces, one of the first to be completed, was Walac's Proposition Numéro Un shelving system, "I fell in love with it immediately and can't wait to see it installed in the exhibition which has a lot of natural daylight which will show off its playful use of shadow and light." Studio Sam Buckley's rug produced in collaboration with cc. tapis of Milan has very unusual topographic qualities, points out Hunter, and Pavilion Pavilion are creating a custom stained glass window for Local Heroes at the gallery entrance.
The show will run from the 18 to 26 September at the London Design Festival.
