## Installation

### Maven Central

#### Releases

To embed the NATS Gatling connector, add the following dependency to your project's Scala `build.sbt` file.

```scala
libraryDependencies += "com.logimethods" % "nats-connector-gatling_2.11" % "1.0.0"
```
If you don't already have your build configured for using Maven releases from Sonatype / Nexus, you'll also need to add the following repository.

```scala
resolvers += "Sonatype OSS Release" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/"
```

#### Snapshots

Snapshots are regularly uploaded to the Sonatype OSSRH (OSS Repository Hosting) using the same Maven coordinates.
If you are embedding the NATS Gatling connector, add the following dependency to your project's `build.sbt` file.

```scala
libraryDependencies += "com.logimethods" %% "nats-connector-gatling_2.11" % "1.0.0-SNAPSHOT"
```
If you don't already have your build configured for using Maven snapshots, you'll also need to add the following repository.

```scala
resolvers += "Sonatype OSS Snapshots" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"
```
## Usage in Scala, from Gatling to NATS
### Simple usage
```scala
...
import com.logimethods.connector.gatling.to_nats._

class NatsInjection extends Simulation {

  val properties = new Properties()
  properties.setProperty(io.nats.client.Constants.PROP_URL, "nats://localhost:4222")
  val natsProtocol = NatsProtocol(properties, "GatlingSubject")
  val natsScn = scenario("NATS call").exec(NatsBuilder("Message from Gatling!"))

  setUp(
    natsScn.inject(constantUsersPerSec(15) during (1 minute))
  ).protocols(natsProtocol)
}
```
### More complex usage
```scala
import akka.actor.{ActorRef, Props}
import io.gatling.core.Predef._
import io.gatling.core.action.builder.ActionBuilder
import io.gatling.core.config.{Protocol, Protocols}
import scala.concurrent.duration._
import java.util.Properties
import io.nats.client.Constants.PROP_URL

import com.logimethods.connector.gatling.to_nats._

class NatsInjection extends Simulation {

  val properties = new Properties()
  // The URI of the NATS server is provided by an environment variable:
  // >export NATS_URI=nats://nats-main:4222
  println("System properties: " + System.getenv())
  val natsUrl = System.getenv("NATS_URI")
  properties.setProperty(io.nats.client.Constants.PROP_URL, natsUrl)
  // The NATS Subject is also provided by an environment variable:
  // >export GATLING.TO_NATS.SUBJECT=FROM_GATLING
  var subject = System.getenv("GATLING.TO_NATS.SUBJECT")
  if (subject == null) {
    println("No Subject has been defined through the 'GATLING.TO_NATS.SUBJECT' Environment Variable!!!")
  } else {
    println("Will emit messages to " + subject)
    val natsProtocol = NatsProtocol(properties, subject)

    // The messages sent to NATS will not be constant thanks to the ValueProvider.
    val natsScn = scenario("NATS call").exec(NatsBuilder(new ValueProvider()))

    setUp(
      natsScn.inject(constantUsersPerSec(15) during (1 minute))
    ).protocols(natsProtocol)
  }
}

/**
 * The ValueProvider will generate a loop of values: 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 100...
 */
class ValueProvider {
  val incr = 10
  val basedValue = 100 -incr
  val maxIncr = 50
  var actualIncr = 0

  override def toString(): String = {
    actualIncr = (actualIncr % (maxIncr + incr)) + incr
    (basedValue + actualIncr).toString()
  }
}
```

## Usage in Scala, from Gatling to NATS STREAMING
```scala
import scala.concurrent.duration._
import java.util.Properties
import io.nats.client.Constants.PROP_URL
import akka.actor.{ActorRef, Props}
import io.gatling.core.Predef._
import io.gatling.core.action.builder.ActionBuilder

import com.logimethods.connector.gatling.to_nats._

class NatsStreamingInjection extends Simulation {

  val natsUrl = System.getenv("NATS_URI")
  val clusterID = System.getenv("NATS_CLUSTER_ID")

  var subject = System.getenv("GATLING_TO_NATS_SUBJECT")
  if (subject == null) {
    println("No Subject has been defined through the 'GATLING_TO_NATS_SUBJECT' Environment Variable!!!")
  } else {
    println("Will emit messages to " + subject)
    val natsProtocol = NatsStreamingProtocol(natsUrl, clusterID, subject)

    val natsScn = scenario("NATS call").exec(NatsStreamingBuilder(new ValueProvider()))

    setUp(
      natsScn.inject(constantUsersPerSec(15) during (1 minute))
    ).protocols(natsProtocol)
  }
}
```

## Complex NATS Messages

If you need to send NATS messages where the *payload is different than String*, or need to have *non constant subjects*, you have to provide `NatsMessage` Objects to the `NatsBuilder`.

```scala
import com.logimethods.connector.gatling.to_nats.NatsMessage

class MyMessage extends NatsMessage {

  def getSubject(): String = {
    return "MySubject"
  }

  def getPayload(): Array[Byte] = {
    val value: Float = ...
	var date:LocalDateTime = LocalDateTime.now()
    // https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/nio/ByteBuffer.html
    val buffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(8+4);
    buffer.putLong(date.atOffset(ZoneOffset.MIN).toEpochSecond())
    buffer.putFloat(value)
    return buffer.array()
  }
}
```

```scala
val natsScn = scenario("NATS call").exec(NatsBuilder(new MyMessage()))
```

## Code Samples
* The ['docker-nats-connector-spark'](https://github.com/Logimethods/docker-nats-connector-spark) Docker Based Project that makes use of Gatling, Spark & NATS.
* The ['smart-meter'](https://github.com/Logimethods/smart-meter) Docker *Swarm* Based Project that makes use of Gatling, Cassandra, Golang, Spark & NATS.

Single Inventory and Related Commodity Issues—Clarification of Regulatory Changes and Other Guidance
FD-020: Single Inventory and Related Commodity Issues
FD-020: Single Inventory and Related Commodity Issues—Clarification of Regulatory Changes and Other Guidance
The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has taken steps to more fully integrate Department of Agriculture (USDA) commodities with other foods utilized by school food authorities (SFAs) in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), service institutions in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), child and adult care institutions under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), local agencies participating in the Nutrition Services Incentive Program (NSIP), and charitable institutions and summer camps.
Most USDA commodities are now packed with commercial labels, instead of the USDA label, which has resulted in reduced costs for food purchases and more timely deliveries. In publishing a final rule on October 23, 2002, we amended regulations under 7 CFR Part 250 to allow for streamlined commodity inventory controls, including reporting and recordkeeping requirements, for SFAs and the other recipient agencies listed above. We plan to propose other regulatory changes later this year to further simplify requirements for commodity inventory management, as part of a "plain language" rewrite of 7 CFR Part 250.
The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify the recent regulatory changes, and to provide interim guidance for taking additional actions in advance of further regulatory amendments. To summarize, the October 23 final rule:
- Removed the requirement, in Section 250.14(b)(4), that recipient agencies maintain inventories of donated foods separate from inventories of other foods.
- Removed the requirement, in Section 250.14(e), that recipient agencies do an annual physical inventory of storage facilities, report commodities found to be lost, stolen, or out-of-condition and excessive inventories, and take corrective actions as a result of such findings.
- Removed the prohibition, in Section 250.14(f), against recipient agencies' maintaining excessive commodity inventories, and the requirement that distributing (state) agencies determine if recipient agencies' commodity inventories are excessive.
- Removed the requirement, in Section 250.16(a)(2), that recipient agencies maintain records of the receipt, distribution/disposal, and inventory of commodities.
The removal of these Federal requirements means that, unless state agencies require the recipient agencies referenced above to maintain separate commodity inventories, these agencies may treat commodities like other foods they purchase, store, and use. We expect the commodities to be subject to all of the same safeguards and control as the other foods. While the use of commercial labels makes these changes necessary, they apply for all commodities, with or without commercial labels.
The regulatory changes described above have implications for other requirements in 7 CFR Part 250 that were not amended by the October 23 final rule. As mentioned, we plan to propose other regulatory changes this year. However, in the following paragraphs we provide interim guidance for state agencies and the applicable recipient agencies to follow in these areas.
We must emphasize that the regulatory changes and the interim guidance apply only to recipient agencies in the NSLP, SFSP, CACFP, and NSIP, and to charitable institutions and summer camps, as listed in the first paragraph. They do not apply to recipient (or local) agencies participating in the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), and the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). They also do not apply to distributing (state) and sub-distributing agencies, including those sub-distributing agencies that also act as recipient agencies.
Transfers of Commodities
Under Section 250.13(a)(1), recipient agencies may currently transfer commodities to "like recipient agencies" (e.g., SFAs to other SFAs) with the approval of the distributing agency, and may transfer commodities to an "unlike recipient agency" e.g., from an SFA to a food bank) with the approval of the FNS Regional Office.
Interim change: We will not require FNS or distributing agency approval for transfers of commodities from one recipient agency to another recipient agency (like or unlike). The distributing agency may choose to require its approval of transfers of commodities from one recipient agency to another.
Under 250.13(a)(7), recipient agencies must currently receive the approval of the distributing agency for transfer of commodities for use in demonstrations or tests. Interim change: We will not require that the recipient agency receive the approval of the distributing agency for such transfers; the distributing agency may choose to continue to require its approval for such transfers.
Claims to Recover Commodities Lost, Damaged, Etc.
Currently, under Sections 250.13(e)(2) and 250.15(c)(2), the distributing agency must pursue a claim if it determines that a recipient agency causes loss of, or damage to commodities, or improperly uses or distributes commodities.
Interim change: We will not require distributing agencies to pursue claims actions against recipient agencies for loss of, damage to, or improper use or distribution of commodities. The distributing agency may choose to pursue claims actions against recipient agencies in such instances; any funds recovered from such claims must be used to cover program expenses, in accordance with 7 CFR 250.15(f)(1).
Maintenance of Records
As described above, the October 23 final rule removed the requirement, in Section 250.16(a)(2), that recipient agencies maintain records of the receipt, distribution/disposal, and inventory of commodities. However, under Section 250.16(a)(6), it states that failure by a recipient agency to maintain these records will be considered evidence of improper distribution or loss of commodities.
Interim change: Because of the amendment to the recordkeeping requirements for recipient agencies referred to above, Section 250.16(a)(6) will no longer apply.
To summarize, the regulatory changes and interim guidance described in this memorandum apply only to recipient agencies in the NSLP, SFSP, CACFP, and NSIP, and to charitable institutions and summer camps, as listed in the first paragraph. As mentioned, they do not apply to FDPIR, CSFP, and TEFAP. In FDPIR and CSFP, food packages composed solely of commodities are distributed to individuals or households to meet specific nutritional needs. For this reason, distribution and control of commodities must be more closely monitored at local, state, and national levels. In TEFAP, state agencies are required to establish income eligibility criteria to ensure that only needy households receive TEFAP commodities. The established criteria may not apply to other foods distributed by the food banks and food pantries distributing TEFAP foods.
This memorandum also does not apply to food service management companies under contract with SFAs or other recipient agencies to conduct the food service. A separate memorandum will be issued shortly to address the implications of single inventory for food service management companies.
The reduction in requirements for commodity control and distribution are meant to assist SFAs and certain other recipient agencies to manage their food service more efficiently, which will ultimately benefit the children served in school programs and other program recipients. The affected agencies are, of course, still subject to other regulatory requirements under 7 CFR Part 250 relating to the distribution and control of commodities.

Suitcases good finish and acceptable quality, easy to place and discrete media without luggage, not invisible discreet. Attention with the resulting total width, giving the opposite side to exhaust about 53 cm, but the exhaust side 60 cm, which clearly exceeds the maximum permitted by law 50cm. Simetria apparent once assembled. Width should definitely improve it.
The set is very good. Mounting hardware very easy. The only downside is that protrude much, but of course if it were not so serious small capacity.

Heavy Rains in New Orleans Overwhelm City's Pump Stations; Officials Warn of Additional Flood Threats
City officials warned that additional thunderstorms could again overwhelm the city's pumping capacity on Sunday and Monday.
Via NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune:
With some New Orleans neighborhoods seeing 8 to 10 inches of rain falling in just a few hours Saturday (Aug. 5), the rainfall overwhelmed the ability of the Sewage & Water Board's 24 pump stations to keep up, though all were operating, city officials said Sunday. And they warned that additional thunderstorms could again overwhelm the city's pumping capacity on Sunday and Monday.
The biggest threat for additional heavy rain is likely Monday afternoon, based on a morning briefing by National Weather Service forecasters, said Aaron Miller, the city's director of homeland security and emergency preparedness, at a Sunday morning news conference at New Orleans City Hall.
"With current saturation levels of the ground and the water that we've seen over the last few days, any additional rain will result in quick runoff, so we want residents to be particularly aware during rains when they're out on the roads," Miller said.
The city has no immediate plans to request an emergency declaration from the state, but said that could change once more information on flood damage is collected, said Ryan Berni, deputy mayor for external affairs. He said city emergency officials conducted an initial windshield survey of the most damaged areas on Sunday morning, especially looking at businesses and homes that took on water, and that information reported by residents and businesses over the next few days will be added.
"There are going to be hundreds of vehicles that got water, so we know that, particularly in Lakeview, Gentilly, Mid City and Treme were hot spots for that," he said.
"Public safety is our top priority, so we are advising residents to continue to monitor weather conditions and stay alert today," said Mayor Mitch Landrieu in a news release summarizing Saturday's storms and the Sunday recovery plans.
"These no-notice rain and flooding events can be very dangerous, but luckily, there was no loss of life," Landrieu said. "Today, we begin the hard work of assisting those who flooded and getting our streets passable for regular traffic. With additional rain expected today and the rest of this week, I would encourage all of our residents to clean in front of their catch basins."

Q: Google Indexing and Url On my website, brand URLs like this
.../shopbybrands.aspx?auth=430&brand=AQUATALIA by MARVIN K

have no Hyphen or Underscore: "AQUATALIA by MARVIN K". But when we  open the URL in a browser it looks like:
.../shopbybrands.aspx?auth=430&brand=AQUATALIA%20by%20MARVIN%20K

Automatically, %20 appears in the URLs.  The issue is that if I search the first URL in Google, I will not get any results; but  if I search the second URLI do.
Also, in XML sitemap, URLs are included (e.g. the first URL) and I'm seeing in Google webmaster tool that only 35 URLs indexed out of 105. While I'm searching Google with %20 URLS, I'm getting index or results for the same but when I search the normal URL, like first, I don't.
So, please suggest what I need to do to fix this?

The First World War Embarkation Roll indicates that he embarked on HMAT Euripides on the 20th of October, 1914 from Sydney. He landed at Gallipoli on the 25th of April, 1915 and also fought in the battle of Lone Pine. After Gallipoli, he was temporarily transferred to the 55th Battalion but then posted to the 5th Pioneer Battalion. He was with this unit in France, when he was killed in action on the 30th of October, 1916 by shell fire. Whilst he was buried, his grave was later lost during further fighting and subsequently, his name is recorded on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial. The CWGC (Commonwealth War Graves Commission) records indicate that his full name was Alfred Henry WHITE, however this is not mentioned at all on his service record. It is therefore assumed that his Memorial Plaque (Dead Man's Penny) is scribed with his full name. The Memorial Plaque was forwarded to his mother who lived in Islington, London England. This medal set was purchased on ebay Australia on the 14th of December, 2010 for $1,762.00 The medals are NOT FOR GENERAL SALE, however - consideration will be given to sell them back to a descendant of Alfred WHITE upon proof of relationship. This entry relates to his service in the K.R.R.C. during the Boer War.

I wish to make contact with the descendants of Driver James ANTHONEY (also recorded as ANTONEY on his records) who embarked from Australia on the 12th of August, 1916 as part of the 43rd Infantry Battalion, AIF. According to the First World War Embarkation Roll, he boarded HMAT Ballarat from Port Adelaide. I have this soldier's World War 1 Victory Medal and would like to have it returned to his family. This medal will only be returned to a descendant upon proof of relationship and is NOT FOR GENERAL SALE. Many of the records kept in this soldiers's personnel file records his surname as ANTONEY (without the letter 'H') but his name may in fact be spelt ANTHONEY and so a duplicate listing has been made with this detail. He was born in Mannum, South Australia and was a farmer before the war.


The first game, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney benefits by being the series launch title. It felt fresh when first released, whereas later entries adopted more or less the same format. The stories still have a very good flow to them and tie together in unexpected ways, making the final case particularly exciting, memorable, and satisfying.
The first of many court victories for Phoenix Wright.
Edgeworth set the standard for other prosecutors that followed.
… one that took advantage of the hardware.
The début also has the best prosecutor of the series, Miles Edgeworth, who was popular enough to get two spinoff games of his own. He features prominently through most of the game, and is a very well-developed character. The fifth and final case (a DS bonus not found in the GBA original) makes use of the systems unique features. It also introduces Ema Skye to the series. This exclusive chapter can definitely have an argument be made that it is the best case of the original trilogy!
Justice for All is the second game, and less satisfying in many ways. Apparently it had a number of development issues which does make its shortcomings more understandable. It has one less chapter than its contemporaries, and none take special advantage of the DS hardware. Some plot lines are redundant, and they don't gel together nearly as well as the first game which makes the stories weaker overall. It also introduces more supernatural elements, with Magatama and Psych-Locks among them. These are weak and don't contribute a whole lot. They've also since been bested by alternative techniques such as Apollo's perception of nervous ticks, or Athena's computerized necklace. The difficulty level has increased, and even something as basic and simple as pressing a witness can punish you with a game over!
Franziska von Karma means business.
Even a flustered Phoenix can still crack a joke.
Maya showing off her knowledge of mid 90's pop culture.
Pearl Fey makes her series debut in Justice for All.
There are some improvements with Justice for All however. Being able to click on character profiles when presenting evidence was a very welcomed addition. The game also established the blend of returning characters, with new ones making their series début. And Justice for All having two different endings is a small but nice touch.
Trials and Tribulations starts off brilliantly, with one of the series best cases in my opinion. A flashback episode that has a younger Mia Fey defending Phoenix Wright as a law student, offers a refreshing take on the opening trial. The flashback method worked well enough to be used later in the game which also shows a younger Edgeworth, Gumshoe, and others. These are Mia's best appearances in the entire series, and you can see how her mentoring shaped Phoenix.
Flashback episodes easily show Mia at her best!
A younger Edgeworth sporting his unique style.
Gumshoe, minus his usual green jacket.
Most of the other cases fare comparably. Case two starts with a focus on defending an accused thief rather than launching with the usual murder angle, while case three has you fighting to overturn a trial whose verdict has already been decided under unusual circumstances. The new prosecutor, Godot, is an improvement over the memorable but vexatious Franziska von Kara from Justice for All. Godot might be the coolest character in the trilogy, with his cryptic remarks, accompanying slow jazz music, and his passion for coffee.
A brief break from the typical murder cases.
The cool and mysterious prosecutor Godot.
Godot speaks words of wisdom.
Phoenix again getting abused by the prosecution.
This judge looks a little … different.
Godot is intimidated by no one!
What's new for those who've experienced these titles prior? Not very much, although that's not necessarily bad. The graphics are redrawn, and the 3D support is nice and appreciated. And Miiverse is cool for those times that you may get stumped. Otherwise the draw of this package is the convenience of having all three games together, and the $29.99 asking price for what is dozens of hours of content! It must be acknowledged however that the HD iOS version is half the price.
You can play the three games in any order you want. While each entry does a respectable job of limiting confusion for new players, it really is best to tackle these games in the order they were released. I played them out of order back in the day, and though I still enjoyed them I definitely feel I would've had even more fun had I played them as intended.
Putting all nostalgia aside, admittedly this collection of games is not perfect. The aging character animations and lack of reworked, CD quality sound stand out. The fact that saving still boots you back to the tile screen is annoying, and the returning typos are tough to ignore. The novelty of yelling "Objection" into the microphone has likely worn off for most. And of course the games have their linear nature, meaning you may figure out solutions long before you can start working towards them as you'd like. Evidence will make sense, yet won't be what the game wants, or correct evidence will fail from being presented on a statement the game's decided is wrong.
Phoenix looks embarrassed by this typo.
Even cute little Pearl isn't immune from typos.
Frankly the biggest obstacle to the games in this trilogy might be that later games in the series have surpassed them so much. Apollo Justice, Dual Destinies and Layton vs. Wright have refined what worked well, and lessened what wasn't as successful, while leaving lasting impressions. They improved their storytelling, added new abilities like rotating around scenes, and made clues (and the timing of their presentation) less obscure among other things. This trilogy is still good for sure, but it does feel a bit more dated than I anticipated.
Nonetheless, if you missed these games originally it's hard to argue that this collection isn't a must own. Even if you haven't played all the games, chances are that if you enjoyed one you'll enjoy them all. How much more can be said? This is compilation of some of the most beloved DS games ever, and the value of the sheer amount of content simply can't be overlooked!
Indeed, the whole Trilogy adopts its own world.
They've since been surpassed, but this collection of classics is content rich and entertaining!

The Law ancient family history was found in the irishsurnames.com archives.
Variants of the name Law include Lawe, Lawes and Lawson. Meaning 'at the low', this is a locational name from a person who lived near a hill. This name is of Anglo-Celtic origin and is found in many mediaeval manuscripts throughout England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Examples of such are a William de la Lawe, Northumberland, who was recorded in the 'Hundred Rolls', England, in the year 1273. A Robertus de Lawe was recorded in the 'Poll Tax' of the West Riding of Yorkshire in the year 1379. In Scotland there are ten or more places named Law from which the name is derived. It was a common name in Glasgow in the sixteenth century. In 1428 a Robert de Lawe had safe conduct to pass through England on his return from Spain. A Richard Law emigrated from England to America in 1638, and in 1641 he was one of the founders of Stamford.
The Law family crest (or coat of arms) came into existence many centuries ago. The process of creating these coats of arms began as early as the eleventh century although a form of Proto-Heraldry may have existed in some countries prior to this, including Ireland. The new more formalized art of Heraldry made it possible for families and even individual family members to have their very own family crest, coat of arms, including Law descendants.

Trailer for PHANTOM THREAD feat. Daniel Day-Lewis
Video November 22, 2017 jschooling Leave a comment
See the teaser for Daniel Day-Lewis' final film, Phantom Thread. The movie, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, will be available for sneak previews in New York and Los Angeles from November 24-30 before official release on Christmas.
"Set in the glamour of 1950s post-war London, renowned dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his sister Cyril (Lesley Manville) are at the center of British fashion, dressing royalty, movie stars, heiresses, socialites, debutants and dames with the distinct style of The House of Woodcock. Women come and go through Woodcock's life, providing the confirmed bachelor with inspiration and companionship, until he comes across a young, strong-willed woman, Alma (Vicky Krieps), who soon becomes a fixture in his life as his muse and lover. Once controlled and planned, he finds his carefully tailored life disrupted by love. With his latest film, Paul Thomas Anderson paints an illuminating portrait both of an artist on a creative journey, and the women who keep his world running."

When kids say stuff like this, almost three weeks after their last class, do you really think sharing it is being in an "echo chamber?"
One of the more popular posts at A Difference is called How Will I Orchestrate It This Time? I compared my first and second semesters using blogs and other web 2.0 technologies in my daily classroom instruction. This post follows up on that one.
I post links to reviews, instructive animations and quizzes.
I post blogging prompts often using images from flickr.
Students post reflections on their learning.
I had students do a Muddiest Point exercise on the blog once. I post links to reviews, instructive animations and quizzes.
I occasionally post blogging prompts. Not using images from flickr often enough.
We've done a few Muddiest Point exercises.
I've been more explicit about ethical blogging and internet use.
Students post links to reviews and other learning resources in the del.icio.us boxes.
Students (and occasionally me) interact in the chatboxes. They often help each other out with homework.
Students write a scribe post for each class every day — this has morphed into them essentially writing the textbook for the class in their own words.
My AP Calculus class is using blogs to write their own digital story.
Students have the option of writing an acrostic instead of a Blogging on Blogging reflective post.
I've used the blog to have the students communicate with a substitute teacher before a class I was away from.
I've also used the blog to give an online class when I was away.
I've got them learning problem solving by playing games I post to the blog each Sunday.
Just before the holiday break I added a Visitor Map to each blog.
Each class made a podcapsule at the end of the semester. I post links to reviews, instructive animations and quizzes but not as much as I did before. I think this was a mistake. This was a busy semester and although I wanted to post regularly to the class blogs I turned them over almost entirely to the students vis a vis the scribe posts and pre-test reflections. Next time I have to get back to doing this as a regular feature of my teaching practice.
I posted blogging prompts even less frequently; another mistake. Again, not using images from flickr often enough.
Students post reflections on their learning. The Pre-Cal 40S students started calling these posts BOBs. I like that. The name is sticky. I've become more explicit about having the kids write their BOBs a few days before their unit tests: "If you do it the night before you'll get your one mark for doing it. But if you post your BOB a few nights before the test then I'll specifically address the issues you raise. You'll pick up a whole bunch of other marks that you otherwise would have missed because you didn't get the answers you needed to the questions that you have."
No Muddiest Points. Another type of post to be sure to include next semester.
I continue to be explicit about ethical blogging and internet use. About a week into the semester I went around the class and had each student vocalize their agreement to honour the guidelines I had posted on the blog and confirm that each individual had read them.
Students write a scribe post for each class every day (except test days). I have told the students the expectation is for them to collaboratively distribute the work involved in writing the textbook for the course.
I continue to post interactive games to the blog each Sunday in an effort to help students learn problem solving. This tapered off as we approached the exam period.
Visitor Maps have become an essential feature of the class blogs vis a vis making the students aware of their global audience. I plan to be a little more Machiavellian about this for next year. I will create visitor maps and install the code for them on next year's class blogs this week. The links will be invisible. They will accumulate (random) hits over the summer holiday. I will reveal the links about the third week of class in September. Instant sense of audience. Although this may seem contrived I know that they will have a very real audience once they start blogging. As a matter of fact I hope to make their families a greater part of that audience. More on that another day.
I have also become more conscious of using this blog (A Difference) to invite people from around the world to leave my students comments when they're up to something impressive. Thank you to all of you who found the time to drop in on my classes and leave them an encouraging comment or two.
On February 21, 2006 all the class blogs went multilingual. I added the functionality of language translation tools. This sparked some interest amongst the parents although that was mostly to say that the Tagalog language translation was very bad. The kids really liked it though.
The quality of the student's scribe posts soared to such heights that Lani Ritter-Hall suggested in a comment to one of them that there should be a Scribe Post Hall Of Fame. I built a wiki to house it. This spurred the kids on to even greater heights. I included information in The Scribe Post Hall Of Fame for teachers who want to incorporate scribe posts into their own class blogs. (If you do, please contribute your students best work to The Scribe Post Hall Of Fame wiki. It will benefit your kids and mine.) Chris Harbeck was so taken with the idea of the Hall of Fame that he created one for his classes to house the best of their Growing Posts. Check out his Growing Post Hall Of Fame.
I've invited people to be mentors to my students via their class blogs. While a few people nibbled at the idea Lani Ritter-Hall jumped in with both feet and, as I've mentioned here before, she has been an outstanding mentor and an inspiration to me and my students. Lani, I can't thank you enough. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm wondering if there are any retired teachers who read this blog who might be interested in participating on my class blogs in this way next year. If you or anyone you know might be please let me know.
I've used the blog to post more pdf/jpg files. Some are homework assignments, some have been solutions to the homework assignments.
All my Applied Math 40S students were required to sign up for ThinkFree Office, irows.com and Writely accounts.
We created podcapsules again. This time I incorporated the use of Vaestro as an audio commenting tool. This was the first use of Vaestro on the class blogs. I expect it will weave its way into all the blogs in some form next year.
Acrostics. I plan to reintroduce these again next year. It was a mistake to leave them out. It gave the students a good conceptual structure to reflect on their learning and review relevant material and vocabulary before tests.
As I said above, there were no Muddiest Point posts. They'll be back next year.
Next year all students in all classes will be required to sign up for these free accounts. We had some trouble accessing the tools at ThinkFree from the school computers. It took too long to load and sometimes the browser crashed. I suspect the problems were due to a combination of our learning to use the tool and limitations of our school network. I'll be working to overcome those difficulties for next year. ThinkFree has the built-in functionality to post directly to a blog. I need to explore this further. The "one trick ponies" (Writely, irows and Google Spreadsheets) may be better workflow solutions but I really like the idea of being able to post directly to the blog. We'll see.
I hope to explore using Gliffy to have students collaboratively construct a mind map for each unit of study. Good review just before the test and a permanent, updateable study tool for exams.
In her recent workshop Anne points to Dragster. I want to think about and play with this one. There may be a place for it on next year's blogs. Perhaps as part of an online lesson?
More and more teachers are blogging every day. If you're a math teacher blogging with your classes please let me know. I'd like to see the Feed Windows network expand. I'd also like to encourage all teacher bloggers in all subject areas who have class scribes to expand the network of teachers in The Scribe Post Hall Of Fame. You can learn more about how to incorporate scribe posts into your classes at The Scribe Post Hall Of Fame.
I'm looking at changing the tool I use for the feed windows from Feedo Style to something else. The new, updated version of Feedo Style requires a fee in order to access the customization features that used to be free. If you've got any suggestions I'd love to hear them.
At this year's Higher Ed Blog Con there was a fantastic presentation on Short, to-the-point e-lectures. I think of them as screencast learning blasts. We'll have some PD time next year that we might be able to use to develop short, 5 to 10 minutes, screen casts or videos of teachers teaching a specific topic.
On Tuesday my Pre-Cal 40S and Applied Math 40S classes recorded podcasts; we call them podcapsules. The idea behind a podcapsule is that students reflect on their learning experiences of the last semester and record advice for themselves to improve their learning in their future studies. Just as they begin the next phase of their education they can come back and listen to the advice they left for themselves. Of course there may be a lesson or two in there for anyone else who drops by to listen.

The Budwing Praying Mantis is a medium praying mantis from kenya with small bud wings.
What does the Bud Wing Praying Mantis like?
When females turn adult you can really see why we call them Budwing Praying Mantids, the wings only cover part of the females abdomen. Females can grow to 70mm in length, the males are very small at 30mm. Adult Males wings covers and passes the abdomen, which makes it an excellent flier!
Their colour is a mixture of browns and grays with the very rare occasion of a green type! They have large pink coloured beady eyes - excellent for hunting prey!
When threatened, they open and stretch out there arms to show a bright colour of orange/yellow. Wings are opened on the adults to appear larger then they are, showing a dark colour of black/red!
Where are Bud Wing Praying Mantids from?
They live in trees and shrub areas in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia. They like a temperature of 25-30C (77-86F), but room temperature will be OK for them. Their food provides most of the water they need, but spray them a few times a week to allow them to drink, a humidity level 60% is ideal for them.
Are Bud Wing Mantids easy to keep?
Well, feeding is no problem! They are one of the most aggressive species to come across, eating anything you give them. They will chase their food until they catch it and if you are not careful they will make them self-ill from over eating which could be fatal. The females are the greediest! Provide them with think branches, some foliage, but most of all plenty of space, as they are very active!
Only keep them together while very young. Due to the amount of food these little guys can eat - they will eat each other.

Comeback of historic colours for all Porsche models
Approved by: Mohamach Roset Updated: December 22, 2021
With its new Paint to Sample and Paint to Sample Plus options, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur is expanding its range of special exterior colours for all model series.
The focus is on the availability of classic Porsche colours, recognisable from over the years. For especially individual requests, there is also the option of creating bespoke shades to customer specifications. "Unusual paint finishes have been familiar throughout the history of our brand and are an important differentiating feature," says Alexander Fabig, Head of Individualisation and Classic. "With this offer, we are reviving cult-classic colours and expanding the extensive range of standard and special colours across all the model series by more than 160 shades."
Paint to Sample: cult colours celebrate a comeback
In recent years, the demand for custom-painted Porsche cars has risen sharply. With its new options, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur has significantly increased capacity in this area. A new colour-mixing bench has been put into operation at the main plant in Zuffenhausen, where paint specialists blend several dozen ingredients down to the last milligram in order to achieve the desired shade. Each batch is divided into two paint pots for bodywork and add-on parts. The areas to be painted on the vehicle consist largely of aluminium, plastics and carbon/fibreglass composites. This mix of materials and the different application methods and drying temperatures require slightly different paint compositions, depending on the component. Batch comparison plates are painted and serve as colour reference samples during the final inspection of the vehicle.
Porsche is not only expanding its colour range, but also restructuring it: Custom Colour has been renamed Paint to Sample. This category includes predefined colours that have already been technically approved by Porsche's paint specialists. Examples include Maritime Blue, Rubystar and Mint Green. These colourful choices from the 1990s enjoy cult status among Porsche fans. In the past, they were offered on the 911 (Type 964). As part of Porsche's enhanced individualisation strategy, the legendary paint shades are now celebrating a comeback. Thanks to Paint to Sample, current Porsche models can be painted in these eye-catching classics.
The range is really diverse and depends on the model series and production location. For the 911 and 718 model series, there are more than 100 additional paint colours to choose from. For the Panamera, Macan and Cayenne, there are more than 50 options, while a further 65 colours complete the range for Taycan customers. Paint to Sample can be ordered as part of new vehicle configurations at Porsche Centres. It adds about three months to the delivery lead time compared to standard colours. Prices within the model series vary depending on the derivative. The offer is set to be integrated into the Porsche Car Configurator from early 2022. Online filter options, for example by colour family, and background information on the individual colours will follow successively.
Paint to Sample Plus: extensive feasibility check
For especially individual colour requests, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur goes a step further: with Paint to Sample Plus the paint finish can be chosen almost entirely freely. This option is available for the model lines 911, 718 and Taycan.
The procedure is as follows: the customer hands over a sample of their desired colour to the Porsche Centre - anything is conceivable, from a favourite shirt or scarf to a nail varnish colour. This sample is then sent to Porsche AG. There, a separate feasibility check is carried out for each request, which can take several months depending on the work involved.
From there, Porsche's colourists create the formulation. These experts develop the hue on the basis of the available paint components. Then, in several rounds, the shade is further developed so that it also corresponds to the sample under different light sources, such as daylight or artificial light. Next, the feasibility of the colour is tested under production conditions on the car body and add-on parts. It is also essential to define the layer thickness, which enables process-stable, reproducible and error-free painting. Before the actual customer vehicle is painted, the colour is applied to a test body. If it transpires that the desired shade cannot be realised in accordance with its usual quality standards, Porsche will bear the costs of the feasibility test.

Report: North Korea Seeks Bitcoins to Bypass Sanctions
JP Morgan Chief Slams Bitcoin as Fit Only for Drug Dealers, Murderers, Regimes Mathew J. Schwartz (euroinfosec) • September 14, 2017

The government of North Korea has been turning to bitcoin exchange heists and cryptocurrency mining to evade sanctions and fund the regime, security experts say.

Observers have reported that recent cryptocurrency heists appear to tie to the Pyongyang-based government of North Korea, officially known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which is led by Kim Jong-un.
"Since May 2017, we have observed North Korean actors target at least three South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges with the suspected intent of stealing funds," Luke McNamara, a threat researcher at cybersecurity firm FireEye, says in a blog post.
"The spear-phishing we have observed in these cases often targets personal email accounts of employees at digital currency exchanges, frequently using tax-themed lures and deploying malware - Peachpit and similar variants - linked to North Korean actors suspected to be responsible for intrusions into global banks in 2016," he adds.
Peachpit is a backdoor used to give attackers persistent access to a system. FireEye has previously reported that Peachpit has appeared in a limited number of attacks, which suggests that rather than being sold on underground sites, whichever attack group that developed the tool uses it exclusively. And the malware has been previously seen in attacks tied to North Korea.
The cryptocurrency-targeting attack assessment by FireEye's McNamara mirrors a report, released in August, that said at least one or two South Korean digital currency exchanges had been targeted by North Korea. Simon Choi, an official at South Korea's Cyber Warfare Intelligence Center, told Radio Free Asia - a non-profit Eastern Asian news agency - that the attacks used phishing emails to fool victims into executing a type of malware that had been seen in previous attacks tied to North Korea.
It was "not only one or two exchanges where attack attempts have been made," Choi told RFA. "Startups that use blockchain, financial technology sector companies as well as others may have [also] been the target."
North Korean Heists
If Pyongyang is attempting to steal bitcoins, it wouldn't be the first time the regime has tried to bolster its coffers via illegal means. Indeed, DPRK watchers say the country continues to seek new ways to bolster its GDP and fund the regime, following years of sanctions by numerous countries as well as the EU and United Nations.
Current UN sanctions, for example, prohibit member states from selling coal, minerals, aviation fuel, jet fuel or rocket fuel to the DPRK. In addition, the sanctions require many DPRK individuals' and organizations' offshore holdings to be frozen and prohibit UN members from doing any banking business or maintaining any banking subsidiaries in the country. And this month, the UN Security Council agreed on new sanctions following DPRK's Sept. 3 nuclear test, including banning textile exports - worth on average $760 million per year over the past three years - as well as capping the amount of crude oil the country is allowed to import.
North Korea has already been tied to attacks against banks and attempts to subvert the SWIFT interbank messaging system, including the attempted theft of $1 billion in February 2016 from the central bank of Bangladesh (see Report: DOJ Sees Bangladesh Heist Tie to North Korea).
Following increased sanctions on the nation, furthermore, threat intelligence firm Cybereason has warned that the regime will likely authorize a greater number of online heist attempts and potentially also wreak a bit of havoc.
"Banking, financial institutions and currency exchanges are likely to see a steady increase in malicious and sophisticated intrusion attempts," Cybereason said in a recent report. "They will likely be focused on institutions in South Korea, the United States and Japan (to add a little political flavor to the currency generation). However, we could see the uptick also happen in countries where network security is largely weak - parts of South and Southeast Asia, the Baltics and potentially even parts of Africa."
Bitcoin 'Is a Fraud'
North Korea isn't the only government that has been paying more attention to cryptocurrencies as a potential source of revenue, especially as the value of a bitcoin earlier this month hit an all-time high of $5,000.
"As bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have increased in value in the last year, nation-states are beginning to take notice," FireEye's McNamara says. "Recently, an adviser to President Putin in Russia announced plans to raise funds to increase Russia's share of bitcoin mining, and senators in Australia's parliament have proposed developing their own national cryptocurrency."

But not everyone is bullish on bitcoin.
Speaking this week at a banking conference in New York, Jamie Dimon, chairman, CEO and president of financial services giant JP Morgan Chase, said that while he sees potential for blockchains, bitcoin "is a fraud."
"The currency isn't going to work," Dimon said, according to news reports. "You can't have a business where people can invent a currency out of thin air and think that people who are buying it are really smart."
He suggested that the only users who might see upsides from bitcoin were the likes of drug dealers, murderers and pariah regimes. "If you were in Venezuela or Ecuador or North Korea or a bunch of parts like that, or if you were a drug dealer, a murderer, stuff like that, you are better off doing it in bitcoin than U.S. dollars," he said. "So there may be a market for that, but it'd be a limited market."
Bitcoins are not the only cryptocurrency to be embraced by potential criminal elements. Blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis, for example, estimates that criminals have amassed $225 million by stealing Ethereum cryptocurrency (see SEC Chairman Seeks More Cyber Risk Disclosure).
Pyongyang Mines for Bitcoin
DPRK does not appear to be trying to obtain bitcoins only through outright theft. In July, threat intelligence research firms Recorded Future and Team Cymru issued a report noting that they saw bitcoin mining commence for the first time on North Korean systems beginning in May.
"Before that day, there had been virtually no activity to bitcoin-related sites or nodes, or utilizing bitcoin-specific ports or protocols," according to their report. "Beginning on May 17, that activity increased exponentially, from nothing to hundreds per day."
Bitcoin mining involves solving computationally intensive mathematical tasks, which are used to build the bitcoin blockchain - a public ledger of transactions. As an incentive, anyone who provides such mining has a chance of getting bitcoins back as a reward.
The timing of North Korea's foray into bitcoin mining is notable, in that it came just days after the May 12 WannaCry outbreak.
Many security firms, and reportedly also British intelligence agency GCHQ, ascribed the WannaCry outbreak to the Lazarus group, a cyberattack team that has been tied to DPRK (see British Security Services Tie North Korea to WannaCry).
Due to apparent coding errors in the WannaCry ransomware, the malware defaulted to directing victims to pay a ransom using one of three preset bitcoin addresses. As a result, it would likely have been easy for intelligence and law enforcement agencies to track any attempts to cash out those bitcoins.
The report from Recorded Future and Team Cymru suggests that by May 17, the North Korean government would have realized that attempting to cash out bitcoins obtained via WannaCry ransom payments was too risky. "Actors within the government would have realized that moving the bitcoin from the three WannaCry ransom accounts would be easy to track and ill-advised if they wished to retain deniability for the attack," according to the report.
Any cryptocurrency mining being done in the DPRK is likely under direct government control. "It is not clear who is running the North Korean bitcoin mining operations; however, given the relatively small number of computers in North Korea coupled with the limited IP space, it is not likely this computationally intensive activity is occurring outside of state control," according to the report.
While bitcoins are anonymizing, they are not anonymous. In 2014, for example, researchers reported being able to de-anonymize bitcoin traders 11 percent to 60 percent of the time, by correlating a bitcoin user's pseudonym - which serves as a public key - with the IP address from which they trade bitcoins (see Tougher to Use Bitcoin for Crime?).
No doubt by now intelligence and law enforcement agencies are even better at correlating data and de-anonymizing cryptocurrency transactions. But just how effective they might be remains a closely guarded secret.
Surge in Bitcoin Mining
Bitcoin mining, however, allows an organization to use processing power to generate fresh cryptocurrency. And attacks aimed at giving cryptocurrency-mining criminal gangs access to victims' processing power are on the rise, according to security firm Kaspersky Lab.
"The actual process of cryptocurrency mining is perfectly legal, though there are groups of people who hoodwink unwitting users into installing mining software on their computers, or exploiting software vulnerabilities to do so," Kaspersky Lab researchers Evgeny Lopatin and Vladas Bulavas write in a recent blog post. "This results in threat actors receiving cryptocurrency, while their victims' computer systems experience a dramatic slowdown."
The researchers say that in just the past month, they've found "several large botnets designed to profit from concealed crypto mining," as well as an increase in attacks that aim to sneak mining software onto servers.
The researchers do not ascribe the botnet to any particular individual, group or nation-state.

But Recorded Future and Team Cymru say that after North Korea began mining bitcoins, they also saw a spike in the country's research - and potential reconnaissance - against multiple "foreign laboratories and research centers," especially in India and the Philippines.
Compromising systems run by those organizations could give attackers access to massive amounts of processing power to further any cryptocurrency mining efforts.

10. Get help. Consider hiring a REALTOR® as a buyer's representative. Unlike a listing agent, whose first duty is to the seller, a buyer's representative is working only for you. And often, buyer's reps are paid out of the seller's commission payment.
Oral promises are not legally enforceable when it comes to the sale of real estate. Therefore, you need to enter into a written contract, which starts with your written proposal. This proposal not only specifies price, but all the terms and conditions of the purchase. For example, if the sellers said they'd help with $2,000 toward your closing costs, be sure that's included in your written offer and in the final completed contract, or you won't have grounds for collecting it later.
After the offer is drawn up and signed, it will usually be presented to the seller by your REALTOR®, by the seller's REALTOR® if that's a different agent, or often by the two together. In a few areas, sales contracts are typically drawn up by the parties' lawyers.
This is a deposit that you give when making an offer on a house. A seller is understandably suspicious of a written offer that is not accompanied by a cash deposit to show "good faith." A REALTOR® usually holds the deposit, the amount of which varies from community to community. This will become part of your down payment.
You will have a binding contract if the seller, upon receiving your written offer, signs an acceptance just as it stands, unconditionally. The offer becomes a firm contract as soon as you are notified of acceptance in writing. If the offer is rejected, that's that, and the sellers could not later change their minds and hold you to it.
If the seller likes everything except the sale price, or the proposed closing date, or the basement pool table you want left with the property, you may receive a written counteroffer, with the changes the seller prefers. You are then free to accept or reject it or to even make your own counteroffer. For example, "We accept the counteroffer with the higher price, except that we still insist on having the pool table."
As a buyer, you are entitled to know exactly what you are getting. A professional home inspection is something you must do, whether you are buying an existing home or a new one. An inspection is an opportunity to have an expert look closely at the property you are considering purchasing and getting both an oral and written opinion as to its condition.
Beforehand, make sure the report will be done by a Massachusetts licensed home inspector, a list of same can be found @ http://www.mass.gov/dpl/Consumer/fspagehi.htm . By personally attending the home inspection you will have a chance to ask questions about the property and get answers that are not biased. In addition, the oral comments are typically more revealing and detailed than what you will find on the written report. Once the inspection is complete, review the inspection report carefully.
You have to include an inspection clause when you present your offer. It must be written in as a contingency; if you do not approve the inspection report, then you are not obligated to continue with the purchase. Most real estate contracts automatically provide an inspection contingency. Home inspections vary in price and are paid for by the buyer.
Why do you feel you and your company would be the best to handle our home buying process? We are long time owner/brokers of a successful local real estate office. We also feel that working as a team gives our customers and clients the special attention they deserve.
What is the usual amount of the earnest money deposit? The amount of the deposit is determined by agreement of the parties. Usually it is 5% of the purchase price with a $1,000. deposit at the time of the offer and the balance with the execution of the purchase and sales agreement.
Why should I use a buyer's broker? A buyer's broker represents only your interests and will assist you in determining property value, negotiating terms and conditions, handling all transaction details, searching all property listings, and obtaining professional advice with contracts, inspection, and mortgages.
