05:07 pm - Oddjob
There are few things as productive as heavy procrastination. I had a lot of work to do for work this weekend, because seth wanted a demo of the system I've been working on for the last while. A system that still remains largely in my head, where it isn't doing anyone much good. So, I did a bit of work, but a lot of other things. Like yesterday, when it was 70s and sunny, I continued my sweeping of the house. Then I filed all the paperwork I had accumulated since I've lived in this apartment (20 months, approximately) and cleaned out my bedroom -- to the extent of a trashbag I couldn't easily lift. And that was just before noon. I added an intense workout, two dinners at fuel & fuddle, a romp in the park with the dog, and a campus porn.
And so today there was no demo. Because the paper I've been occasionally tasked to work on last week is due in about an hour. This morning girish had a script, that got more and more involved, that he needed me to write. And then seth just came back with his young son, to work on the paper. So I was handed off the son, buy biscotti and play foosball with. Yeah. So no demo today. Which is good, because it still isn't there.
Gotta keep motivated. Now, personally, I wouldn't want to deploy and depend on a new email service for which the author is immediately leaving the country for a prolonged period. I mentioned that in my email asking for leave to go. But apparently he wants to start it this week. So I'll probably do the "ethical" thing and depend on it for my email as well. It should be stable... once it exists. Bear with me, if I'm tough to reach for the next month or two.

Nathan Tella sets talisman target as he lifts lid on shock Danny Ings exit and Southampton dream
INTERVIEW: Southampton's young player of the year, Nathan Tella, talks to HampshireLive about Danny Ings' departure, his targets for the new season and why fans can be very excited about Tino Livramento

Nathan Tella is about to embark on the most important season of his young career.
The 22-year-old Saints striker is already well known around Southampton, gifted the nickname 'Starboy' by his teammates and supporters.
Last season, he left his mark on the first-team picture with a goal against Fulham and a string of fine end-of-season performances.
But now, on the eve of the new season, the boy from Stevenage, released by Arsenal as a teenager, wants to ensure that his 2021-22 campaign ends with him having cemented his five-letter name into Premier League history.
"This is selfish," Tella said as he sat down to chat with HampshireLive, almost as if unsure whether we truly wanted to hear what he was about to say.
"I want goals. I want assists. That's what I get judged on. They are what I want."
With the start of the season now upon us, Saints find themselves once again looking to do transfer business to replace a key player.
The club this week replaced Danny Ings with haste, signing Armando Broja (loan) and Adam Armstrong (permanent) to fill the void.
But now Jannik Vestergaard has left a gap to be filled following his £15million move to Leicester City.
A new defender will arrive, supporters have been assured, but one younger than his predecessor is expected with Saints keen to stick to their tried and tested recruitment model of drafting in players who they can one day sell for a profit.
But for Southampton's younger players, it leaves them with fewer senior figures in the dressing room, especially during a summer that has seen five new faces arrive on the south coast with an average age of just 20 years and seven months.
"They helped a lot of us younger players with feedback, telling us how to improve our game," said Tella, when asked if there is now a strange feeling in the dressing room with Ings, Ryan Bertrand and now Vestergaard no longer part of the squad.

"That's football," he continued. "You might be here for one season and then you might be gone the next. It's about the team and we've got a squad now capable of doing the job, so all we can do is wish them the best in the future.."
There are still senior figures in the dressing room, of course. Oriol Romeu and James Ward-Prowse remain the most vocal of characters while Theo Walcott, Tella's childhood hero, is also there to pass on wisdom.
For Tella, Ings' departure should open up the chance for him to fight for a starring role in Southampton's attack and fans would sure love to see it be him who provides the goals.
On the night that Ings' £30million Aston Villa transfer was announced, the club's tweet to inform supporters of the news immediately received a reply from a supporter that generated plenty of traction.
It was a picture of Tella, smiling, with the caption: 'The king is dead. Long live the new king.' The fans adore him.
But, as is typical of his likeable nature, the 22-year-old will have already told Ralph Hasenhuttl that he will play wherever his manager can fit him in. So much for being selfish.
"Yes! That's it," he interrupted, laughing, well aware that we have hit the nail on the head. "I will play wherever the team wants me to play. I do like being an attacker and I want to be one of those forward guys but, sure, if the manager sees me doing a job elsewhere then I will do that.

"I just see Danny [Ings] leaving as another chance for me to play more football," he said. "I am not looking to fill his boots. I am just trying to improve my game on a day-to-day basis. That's all I want to do. I want to become the best player that I can possibly be.
"I am not thinking about what he did here, I am focusing on myself."
One weapon in Tella's armoury is his pace, a weapon that was used to great effect during pre-season.
Against Cardiff City, Southampton did something that fans had not previously seen them do under Hasenhuttl as they broke clear of their own penalty area to perform a perfectly executed counter-attacking goal.
Tella was crucial, playing a give-and-go with Che Adams and using his electric pace to burst away from a midfield scrambling to catch him.
Saints have been working on adding those counter-attacks to their game all summer long and deals to sign Armstrong and Broja add yet more pace to their forward line.
"I am looking forward to that," he said with a smile, almost as if we have stumbled on a well-kept secret from inside the camp at Staplewood.

"Counter attacks are great. That's when the opposition are at their most spread. It's a big chance for me to open my legs. We've got a very fast front line now.
"But that will not just be us, counter attacks. We have a lot more to our game, it's just one thing that we now want to be very good at. I hope that we can show it."
Southampton's side isn't just faster this season, it's younger, blessed with the additions of Chelsea academy trio Broja, Dynel Simeu and Tino Livramento.
As a boyhood Arsenal fan, Tella will assure you that any cross-London rivalry has already been squashed and, besides, it did not take long for young Livramento to give the trio a good name.
With his first two touches in red and white, the 18-year-old created a goal for Walcott during a mightily impressive individual performance against Athletic Bilbao that stunned supporters.

For Tella, it came as no shock. He knew all about Livramento and what he has in his locker.
"It didn't surprise me at all, I know that is what Tino is capable of," he said. "When we sign a young player, you know that he has something to bring to the table.
"I am not shocked that someone that young can do something as good as that. It doesn't matter how old you are, if you're good enough then you're playing.
"I am a bit older than most of them now," he laughed. "I was with Armando [Broja] in the dressing room and I spoke to Adam [Armstong] a bit this morning, they're both really good lads. I'm looking forward to playing with them and seeing what they're capable of.
"I feel like in some teams, the boys aren't as welcoming, but here the boys are welcoming. It's as if they've been here for a long time, joining in with the banter and communicating.
"Tino [Livramento] did well against Bilbao. He got his assists and he is a very good player. He's confident on the ball. He's good technically. It's really no surprise.

"It's good that we're starting off with a good test," he continued, looking ahead to Everton. "It will show how good a pre-season we've had. All the boys feel good, we are all going into the game with confidence.
"We've had very good results and performances during pre-season, and now we just have to take that into the first game of the season.
"I feel like, as a team, we've just got to know that if we do the right things, do the basics well, we will get the result. If we work hard off the ball and make the right decisions, it will all take care of itself on the day."
The season ahead will be full of twists and turns, Saints fans have already accepted that. There will be highs and there will be lows. There will be players who rise to the top and some who sink.
Tella's targets for the future are simple. If he can achieve them, Saints will be better off for it.
"I want to become an established player in the league," he said. "I am known across Southampton, but I want to be known across the Premier League."

well you could increase the stamina and health gained per hit, but I think carn and rabid are strong enough, realistically you could increase the damage the venom puts out as it would have little to no impact in the current game use.
as for ammo pack, if they did that great, but what I know is that this has been this was since savage 2.00a because in savage 1.0 you could actually pick up the ammo beyond the 50% according to your statement without having an ammo pack (i.e. you have 250 flux at start, you kill a monkit that has an ammo crate, you now have 275 flux ammo and no ammo pack taking up a slot) in said example weapons like flux pulse and mmbow benefit greatly from this (trust me I did it a lot). if they can fix the ammo problem great.
also not trying to make it a ranged game, it's just that a lot of weapons go unused and they just happen to be ranged. while your typical newcommer tries everything and is rather dissappointed with the all of 4 seconds of surge.
What I wonder is, is that up to date or have there been more changes (such as the threads in this forum) since then (2009?) that have not been listed?
Maybe it would be a good idea to have a stickied thread that lists all game changes that have been made?
If game changes have been made that are not just bug fixes is there any kind of 'classic' option to play with the original S2Games balancing without having people to use old copies of the game? I think it's important that the original game should also be preserved rather than written over, at least give people the option?
what do you guys think about chaplin and shaman balance?
well this thread is ancient but to answer your question.
shamans have leap which makes "reviving" easier. their healing is burst large heal, single shot. their alt item is a shield beam that reduces damage to units AND buildings. their melee is a hammer lending little repair capabilities.
chaplains have block, allowing them to take more hits, with skill. their healing is a beam that heals in smaller more rapid burst, more forgiving on the accuracy side. their item is a pot that allows SELF HEALING. and their melee is the fastest swings per second allwoing them to build and repair faster (also mine).
the imbalance was originally that shammies would get the "beast healer" award more often because they could revive better and that is what the award arbitrarily tracked. this has been fixed and now it is based on healer exp and healer exp is tracked on stats. healer exp does more with a chaplain or shamans overal ability to heal allies and it's pretty even so far.


The ETAS Support Team uses its annual survey to monitor customer satisfaction on a regular basis. This not only helps identify the drivers of satisfaction, but it also uncovers potential for improvement. The findings are particularly important for achieving a major goal: a continuous improvement in customer satisfaction. The latest survey results show that ETAS Support was able to meet its goal – and is already working to optimize the quality of its services even further.
ETAS Support Germany is happy to present the results of the 2016 survey. The survey covered the following topics: availability, responsiveness, and satisfaction. The already positive results of the previous years were improved upon again – continuing an upward trend. It shows that the measures taken to improve customer satisfaction, based on the results of the previous years, were successful.
Conducting customer satisfaction surveys helps the ETAS Support Team to keep track and to gain an overview of their relationship with the customers. It also helps to identify key drivers for satisfaction and potential for improvement, as well as showing how ETAS Support is performing against its competitors. Analyzing the gap between the customer's expectations and the currently perceived service quality is also a part of the survey. And, lastly, the results provide crucial input as to how ETAS can secure customer loyalty in the future.
"The ETAS Support Team focuses on people. Customers can contact our Support Team at any time with questions or problems. This brings us even closer to our customers", emphasizes Hans-Jürgen Schmidt-Fürst, Head of ETAS Support. ETAS thus clearly opposes the trend of making support more and more anonymous. Today, many companies operate on the basis that customer support should consist of filling out online forms, preventing customers from getting in contact with people who can actually help them.
The positive survey results show that the measures taken so far by the ETAS Support Team are leading to the right outcome: a continuous improvement in customer satisfaction. But there is no time to rest for the Support Team: the next task is to conduct the 2017 survey – worldwide. We look forward to see how this year's measures will be reflected in the 2017 survey results.

Q: AuthComponent storage set as Memory $this->loadComponent('Auth', [
   'storage' => 'Memory',

What mean it is saved in Memory ? So where? RAM ? I am search to find it and clear.

A: Compare the auth session storage class:
/**
 * Read user record from session.
 *
 * @return array|null User record if available else null.
 */
public function read()
{
    if ($this->_user !== null) {
        return $this->_user ?: null;
    }
    $this->_user = $this->_session->read($this->_config['key']) ?: false;
    return $this->_user;
}

/**
 * Write user record to session.
 *
 * The session id is also renewed to help mitigate issues with session replays.
 *
 * @param array|\ArrayAccess $user User record.
 * @return void
 */
public function write($user)
{
    $this->_user = $user;
    $this->_session->renew();
    $this->_session->write($this->_config['key'], $user);
}

To the auth memory storage class:
/**
 * {@inheritDoc}
 */
public function read()
{
    return $this->_user;
}

/**
 * {@inheritDoc}
 */
public function write($user)
{
    $this->_user = $user;
}

Whereas the session storage class (and probably all other 3rd party implementations) look to find/store the data somewhere, the memory storage class only stores/retrieves information from it's own _user property.
As such, the data stored in the Memory storage class persists only for the life of the (http) request, the very next http request will have no auth credentials and will need, if relevant, to provide auth credentials again. This class of storage is applicable to stateless Auth systems, as indicated in the docs:

For stateless authenticators the storage config should be set to Memory so that AuthComponent does not use session to store user record.

Q: Keep application-state in protractor E2E tests I have a big application written with angular and I currently try to introduce e2e testing. Is it possible to keep the "state" of the application and not write a single it statement. So at the my tests look like this:
describe('Dashboard', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    // do login
  });

  it('should navigate to X', () => {
    // click on navigation
    // test if component X is open
  });

  it('should navigate to Y', () => {
    // click on navigation
    // test if component Y is open
  });

  it('should navigate to Z', () => {
    // click on navigation
    // test if component Z is open
  });
});

In the beforeEach the test logs into the app (so the dashboard is open). In every test, first there is a click on a navigation-element and I test if the according component opens.
What I want is that I don't have to do the login in each beforeEach in any of my tests. So the tests keep the state of the application and that the application running all the time as in "real usage" and not restart after every test. Is the only possibility for this to write a single it statement like this:
describe('Application', () => {
    // do login

    // should navigate to X
    // click on navigation
    // test if component X is open

    // should navigate to Y
    // click on navigation
    // test if component Y is open

    // should navigate to Z
    // click on navigation
    // test if component Z is open
  });
});

Maybe I understand the e2e test wrong and I should use another sort of tests for this. If thats the case, could you give me some advice for a testing-framework which can be used for angular?
Thanks in advance!

Malkanthapuragudi: The melancholic Abe Lincoln!
Yet Lincoln's case is perfect, too, in a very different sense: it forces us to reckon with the limits of diagnostic categories and raises fundamental questions about the nature of illness and health.
"It's not the large things that send a man to the madhouse," Charles Bukowski has written. "No, it's the continuing series of small tragedies . . . a shoelace that snaps, with no time left."
For example, in males, schizophrenia usually surfaces in the late teenage years; manic depression in the late teens to early twenties. Unipolar depression, which Lincoln would struggle with his whole life, typically breaks into the open in the mid- to late twenties. Lincoln was twenty-six.
All these reminded me of that other great book "An anthropologist on Mars" by Oliver Sacks, which, I read recently, and, which, in my opinion is a must read for anybody interested in the workings of the human brain.
By the way, the NPR books site is a good place to drop by; you get to read lots of excerpts from lots of interesting books.

Governor Cuomo Announces Circuit Clinical to Create 100 New Jobs and Expand Operations in Western New York
StartUP NY
TOP Governor Cuomo Announces Circuit Clinical to...
Medical Company Participating in START-UP NY to Partner With Buffalo Institute For Genomics and Data Analytics to Advance Clinical Research Process in Buffalo
University at Buffalo to Invest $1.1 Million to Support Company's Growth in Western New York; Expand Patient and Doctor Access to Clinical Trial Opportunities
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced Circuit Clinical, a clinical research and technology company participating in the START-UP NY program, will create more than 100 new jobs and expand its operations in Buffalo. Through a strategic partnership with University at Buffalo's Buffalo Institute for Genomics and Data Analytics, Circuit Clinical will create over 100 jobs for clinicians and technicians who will manage patients participating in hundreds of new clinical trials that Circuit Clinical will bring to Western New York.
UB BIG will invest $1.1 million over five years to support the company's growth in Buffalo. The collaboration will enable more patients to participate in the clinical trials of drugs that could provide relief for their medical conditions. The advancement of the clinical trial process also expedites the process for drug approval by the Food and Drug Administration.
"Our administration is working to attract a new wave of talent and economic growth upstate and Western New York's transformation continues to serve as a model of our progress," Governor Cuomo said. "Circuit Clinical's move to Buffalo will create jobs, generate economic opportunity and strengthen the region's role as a leader in the future of medicine. This partnership is a metaphor for the new Buffalo and we will continue working together to build on our progress and continue moving Western New York forward."
About Circuit Clinical
Circuit Clinical, formerly Empirican PRN, brings new patients and physicians into clinical trials by significantly enhancing outreach to doctors and their patients about available clinical trials. The company uses a process to simplify enrollment procedures for clinical trials to increase both doctors and patient participation in these trials.
Formed in 2014, and accepted into START-UP NY in 2016, the company uses its clinical research site network dedicated to rapid, high-quality patient recruitment and enrollment backed by Current, its U.S. Food and Drug Administration-compliant software platform. As part of its engagement with UB BIG, Circuit Clinical will expand its technology platform and bring software development jobs to Buffalo.
The economic development partnership will enable UB to be at the forefront of using Circuit Clinical's innovative capabilities to support UB clinical trials. The partnership will enable Clinical Circuit to create over 100 jobs in the next five years for clinicians and technicians who will manage thousands of clinical trials the company will recruit to Western New York. The UB BIG investments will be made in increments as Clinical Circuit achieves annual job, investment and product development milestones.
Circuit Clinical had initially planned to expand its clinical trial process in Denver, Colorado, which is home to significant clusters of medical device, pharmaceutical and diagnostics companies. However, thanks to Governor Cuomo's emphasis on Upstate revitalization through the START-UP NY and 43 North initiative, as well as other local support efforts, Circuit Clinical decided to expand in Western New York. Circuit Clinical was also a semifinalist in this year's 43North business plan competition. It is located in the UB Downtown Gateway Building.
"Partnering with UB BIG helps us transform the patient experience in clinical research," said Circuit Clinical CEO Jim Papineau. "By enhancing our software through our relationship with UB, we'll personalize each patient's participation in a way that hasn't been done before. We'll bring patients the latest research choices in the safety and convenience of the doctors' offices they know and trust best. Our goal is to help bring new medicines to market faster and lower the costs of developing them."
"This is a win-win," said BIG Executive Director Brian McIlroy. "By combining the university's assets with that of Circuit Clinical, we can cultivate a positive economic impact, while simultaneously enhancing clinical trial opportunities for the Buffalo Niagara region. UB, leveraging its Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA), is going to pilot Clinical Circuit's software as it evaluates novel methods for improving clinical trials."
"This is a perfect example of what START-UP NY brings to the table – an early-stage, innovative company collaborating with a world-class research institution to develop new science and create new jobs in New York State," said Empire State Development President, CEO & Commissioner Howard Zemsky. "If it weren't for START-UP NY and the better business climate Governor Cuomo has created, this fast-growing, high-tech medical company would have been on its way to another city or state, and taking more than 100 well-paying jobs with it."
"Circuit Clinical is just one of the 77 START-UP NY businesses UB is sponsoring in an effort to connect the businesses of the future with the strengths and technical capabilities of a major research university," said Dr. Satish Tripathi, President of University at Buffalo and Regional Council Co-chair. "UB students interning at this company are benefiting from being part of a high tech medical startup while also well positioning themselves for a promising career that will allow them to remain in Buffalo."
Senator Tim Kennedy said, "From our talented workforce to our world class educational institutions, our region is home to an array of assets that are continuing to attract jobs and talent. Under Governor Cuomo, this state is working to create constructive partnerships between the public, private and educational sectors to leverage growth and encourage companies to come to Western New York. Circuit Clinical's decision to work with the University at Buffalo is yet another example of how New York's business climate is changing and providing a strong foundations for businesses to explore new opportunities and expand right here in Buffalo."
Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes said, "From growing the high-tech manufacturing industry at Solar City to making critical investments in our roads and bridges, New York State is instilling a new level of growth and confidence in our region. Under Governor Cuomo, we are sending the message that our economy is growing stronger and providing new opportunities for companies to build and grow in our region. I am excited to see the partnership between Circuit Clinical University at Buffalo grow and I look forward to seeing it take our region toward the next level of growth."
Mayor Byron W. Brown said, "Circuit Clinical's expansion of its operations in Buffalo means new jobs and opportunities for City residents. This expansion builds on the progress we are making in our City to further strengthen our economy, create jobs and increase growth. I thank Governor Andrew Cuomo and START-UP NY for helping us continue to grow a positive business climate in Buffalo that is attracting major investment from new and expanding high-tech, state-of-the art companies."

Ravens' Harbaugh: New WR Chris Givens will play Sunday
Unlike veteran defensive end Jason Babin, new Ravens receiver Chris Givens is going to be thrown right into the fire this Sunday against Cleveland.
Givens was acquired last Saturday for a conditional draft pick in the wake of injuries to Steve Smith Sr. and Michael Campanaro. Coupled with the continued absence of first-round pick the Ravens are perilously thin at receiver. They'll enter Sunday's game against the Browns with Kamar Aiken, Marlon Brown and sixth-round pick Darren Waller as quarterback Joe Flacco's top three options.
Givens apparently has picked up the offense quickly enough to be play on Sunday whereas outside linebacker sat out two games after signing as a free agent before dressing.
"He's going to be out there on Sunday," Harbaugh said of Givens per the team's official website. "How much he plays depends on how well he does. I'm really hopeful that he plays a lot. It will be up to him and how well he can learn what we're doing."
Givens had just one catch for seven yards in limited action with the Rams. His numbers have gone downhill after catching 42 passes for 698 yards and three touchdowns as a rookie in 2012. Despite the solid first-year production in his first two seasons, the Rams spent high draft choices on receivers Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey the following year, and Givens had fallen down the depth chart as a result.
"It was very frustrating," Givens said. "I knew I was a guy that could complement the team and play well. I don't know if it wasn't the right fit, they liked other guys or whatever the case may be, because after that first year my opportunities just went down."
Givens has been help with the playbook from fellow Wake Forest teammate Michael Campanaro, who told Givens that the Ravens were taking a look at him. He's thrilled to have a fresh start in Baltimore.
"[The trade] was a big relief," he said. "It just felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. Now I can just play football and not worry about anything and just focus on my craft and being the best I can be."

The summer has finally arrived and we have been forced to live in the bedroom, because it is the only air conditioned room in the house. Kaleb has been doing okay and the heat hasn't bothered him too much. I think he actually likes it because he gets to just wear a diaper. Sunday was a quiet day, we met Cara and Jeff for breakfast and then walked down to Harvard Square to relax at JFK Park. Rich came over and met us at the park and we went and got some ice cream. We came back home and that was the end of our quiet weekend.
EDIT: Google has come up with another amazing feature to Picasa photos. You can now link photos to locations on a map and then view photos on the map and all sorts of cool things. If you want to check it out click the link to view the album and there are a couple places where you can view the photos on a map.
Not much to report, since my last entry. Kaleb went in for his four month check up and the doctor says he is doing really well. He weight 10lbs and 12 ounces and was 22 3/4 inches long. So he is really progressing well. He also had some more vaccinations which he didn't really enjoy too much. He also was extra sleepy and not himself the day afterwards, which was tough including the evening following the shots when he just screamed for about twenty minutes.
Yesterday Jennifer had to work again so I brought Kaleb up to Amesbury so my mom could watch him while I worked. He slept almost the entire time and didn't wake up until 11:45AM. I ended up leaving around lunch time and went to a espresso/wine bar in downtown Amesbury. I loved it and can't wait to go back once we move up to Merrimac. It is a place called J. Bucks and is located in the building that used to be the railroad station. The place is huge and was perfect, now I just have to hope they don't go out of business.
Today we didn't do much besides walk out to Alewife so Jennifer could go shopping for something to wear to a bachelorette party tonight. It was a real Boston party with stops at some of the hipper clubs in the city. I think it is great that she is getting out there and taking some time for herself, it is a huge part of staying sane and keeping touch with yourself.
Okay, I think Kaleb just woke up so I have to go check on him.
EDIT: I almost forgot, Kaleb touched his feet with his hands for the first time. I included the photo, but it is a little fuzzy, sorry about that.
After the super buy weekend we thought Kaleb's fussing was just because he was tired, but we are beginning to think more and more that he is now teething. We aren't certain, but he is definitely touching his mouth more often and has been chewing on his pacifier more often than he has been sucking it. Apparently it isn't unheard of for a baby to be teething at four months. Luckily he has to go in for his four month appointment tomorrow so we should know for sure. Its been two months since his last appointment and he is almost twice as big as he was then. We are looking forward to finally getting answers to questions we have been curious about for weeks now, such as cradle cap, teething, the flatness of the back of his head, the pace of his overall development (cognitive and physical) and the recent green poo.
The other big thing happening tomorrow is my longest stint flying solo with the little man. Jennifer has to go to school two day this week, tomorrow I am on duty and Friday my mom will be watching him. I am a bit nervous about the milk situation, because he hasn't consistently eaten from a bottle yet and if he doesn't take it tomorrow it will be a long, loud day. He took one from me tonight though without much trouble, so hopefully it will go well.
Kaleb continues to perfect his hand eye coordination. Today he hit his beach ball for the first time and also swung at a couple other toys. Its amazing how in the last few days he has gained even more personality. He is looking around more than ever and really enjoys going outside and checking out the sights, actually taking him outside is like magic, because it really calms him down. Okay its getting late and I have a long day ahead of me, so I am going to bed now.
My first father's day was super busy and involved lots of driving, but it was wonderful. I woke up bright and early as usual and got a couple lovely cards from Kaleb and Jennifer along with some great framed photos. I then tried to get back to sleep, but by the time I was back in dreamland it was time to get up and get going. We were in the car by 9:45 and at AppleBee's in Sturbridge by 11. We had a lovely dinner with the Riebe's and hung out for a couple hours before going to Old Navy. It wasn't a very successful visit, but Kaleb did get his first pair of shoes.
We got back in the car, this time accompanied by Auntie M and drove up to Amesbury. The Amesbury agenda included a Father's day dinner at my dad's, a pit stop at Hodgies and a quick visit to see my mom. All went well, I could type some details in, but I really want to watch tv with my wife right now so you are going to have to imagine how it all went. The one thing I have to point out is that Kaleb was exhausted for the entire day, which really effected his demeanor. He was really fussy and not on his best behavior, but Jennifer and I fully take the blame for that problem, since over the past few days we have dragged him all over god's green earth.
Finally, today I put Kaleb in the pool for the first time. It was really just some basic testing of his tolerance of the pool since it all occurred from the steps, but I did lower him into the pool. He was a bit unsure at first, but once he was wet he was pretty cool with it. I am thinking on Friday I may just have to jump in and get him in a little more.
I made it an early day at work yesterday and Jennifer, Kaleb and I went for lunch at the Grand Prix cafe. We then came home and relaxed for the rest of the afternoon. However, Kaleb did make some more progress with objects. Today he was in his pack and play and was swatting at a dangling toy. He batted it around for a good ten minutes. It is the first time he has ever swung at something on purpose. He was so very excited and kicked his legs like crazy. We are both very proud of his progress.
While looking through some of the photos today we noticed a slight resemblance between Kaleb and Yoda. Kaleb recently lost some of his hair and the hair that remains on the top is relatively sparse and coarse, just like Yoda. He also has ears that are a bit pointy like Yoda and his cradle cap also looks a lot like the top of Yoda's head. I suppose you should judge for yourself though.
Today was another milestone of sorts, when Kaleb became the Lord of the Rings. Jennifer bought him some rings (links) to play with and yesterday he kind of grabbed on to them, but today he not only grabbed on, but flung them around a little bit. It is the first time he has ever held on to something and tossed it back and forth. He almost moved it towards his mouth, but stopped at the last minute. Here is some video of that for you to see.
Not much news to report this morning. Kaleb was nursing and as usual was pooping away at the same time. All of a sudden Jennifer goes "ewww" and starts looking at her hand. My first reaction was to grab the camera and take a picture and then since I had volunteered to change him pre giant poop explosion I took him over to get changed. I think the hardest part about it was trying to change him without getting poo all over the changing table. After a lot of struggling with Kaleb and tipping him on his side I successfully removed the nightgown and then got the diaper off without one drop of poo on the changing table. I really have come a long way with diaper changes over the last three and a half months.
Here are a couple videos.
Another busy weekend was had by the Sands family of Somerville. On Friday we all went up to Newburyport while I had my stitches removed. Once back in Somerville we went to see a Jose Mateo Ballet performance. Kaleb was fantastic, I put him in the Baby Bjorn right before the show and walked him around until he fell asleep and then he slept through the entire show. He did wake up at one point when the applause was extremely loud, but immediately fell back to sleep.
On Saturday we all slept very late and stayed home for most of the day. In the afternoon we started to get ready for Lan and John's wedding. Auntie M came over to babysit Kaleb while we were at the wedding. We did our best to tucker him out before we left with a nice warm bath followed by a feeding. Apparently he slept for quite a while after we left, but once he woke up he wasn't having anything to do with the bottle and then screamed for a good half hour. Fortunately for Auntie M he passed out, but not before he pooed all over her, so much that she had to change. When we finally made it home at around 11:15 he was still asleep and was ready to eat. The wedding itself was really great, we are very thankful that Mes was able to take care of Kaleb so we could enjoy ourselves especially because we knew he was in good hands.
If you can't tell from the photos the wedding was really amazing. Lan looked beautiful in her dress and John looked so happy. The meal was great, the band was top notch and all of the venues were second to none.
Today we spent most of the day at home. I worked alot, but did take a break now and then to play the wii or to catch a breath of fresh air. We had Cara and Jeff over to play with our new game Mario Party 8. We battled up until the end, but luck was not on our side and we lost by three stars.
I got an email from Melissa wondering if Kaleb, Jennifer and I wanted to meet her at the Scooper Bowl. I finally got a hold of Jennifer late in the afternoon, because she was at mommy/baby yoga and then shopping at the worst Target store around. We decided that ice cream would make for a perfect dinner. I came home a little early and we made our way into the city around 5:00. It was a bit chilly downtown, but it didn't stop me from breaking my previous record of ice cream cups. Today I downed 16 cups of ice cream total and that was even considering the fact that Ben & Jerry's had some random non-chocolate based ice cream flavors. Not only did I break my record, but Kaleb also got to attend his first Scooper Bowl. We were kind enough to give him a few tastes of the yummy drippings at the bottom of our empty cups. He seemed to enjoy the few drips we gave him which is very encouraging.
Kaleb was also weighed again at yoga class and with his onesie on he weighed 10 pounds and 6 ounces. He seems to continue to gain a half pound a week. He is growing by leaps and bounds. The other big change with him is his recent babblings. Tonight we made wolf noises to him and he kept making similar noises back to us. It was really funny to watch him move his lips and then belt out a loud howl.
Not much to report. LiveJournal is finally working again so I was able to post the full entry from the weekend (see below). Last night we once again put Kaleb down in his bassinet at nine to get him more used to going to bed early, so far so good. This morning we gave him a bath to help clean him up after he had poo all the way up his back. He didn't seem to care and actually got a kick out of me showing him the messy onesie.
I came home a bit early from work to spend time with him and we had a great evening. We went for a couple walks, the second walk started out slowly, because we kept stopping and chatting with people. It gave Kaleb a chance to really go crazy though, he was jabbering so much and kicking his legs. It was hilarious, I will be adding a video to this post later.
The weekend started off a bit early because I decided to take Friday off. We ended up sleeping in until around ten, which is crazy late, but once up we moved quickly and were in Portland by one. The goal of the trip was to first of all get out of Boston and away from work, but also to pick up some Dave's Insanity Salsa. I know it seems silly, but it is the hottest I have ever had and it can't be bought anywhere else that I know of besides the internet. We went to Le Reux found the salsa and then went for lunch at the Crooked Mile cafe, our typical lunchtime destination when in Portland. We shopped around for a little while, before returning to the car. Once we were underway I called Jennie and we met her for ice cream in Wells. We caught up with her for quite a while and then continued towards Amesbury. We stopped in at my moms while Kaleb ate and then made it back home.
Saturday I woke up bright and early, well at least early for me nowadays. I had to get up because it was the annual Agawam River Canoe trip. I picked up a mocha and made my way over to the Back Bay to get Amy. We made it down in record time and met up with everybody else. The logistics of the trip had been worked out before we got there, but all the components were still in transit. Once everything was in place we set out after the first cranberry bog, which helped cut out a lot of the bushwhacking. It was a very humid day, but there was a nice wind to balance it and kept it cool. I was partnered up with Amy and while we did struggle a bit, due to my terrible driving skills, we did make it in one piece. I did manage to fall in at one portage, but luckily all of my stuff was on dry land at the time. The highlight of the trip wasn't my fall though it was when Kelly managed to get the kayak stuck sideways in the rapids and then capsized sending her thirty feet down stream. She was alright, but I have to say it was crazy to watch. We emptied the water out of her kayak and all continued on our merry way to Wareham harbor. It was another great trip, I can't wait until next year.
Today required another early morning and I was in worse shape than yesterday. We needed to go down to Connecticut for Kaleb's postponed baby shower. He was supposed to have one in Connecticut, but since he came early it was never able to happen. It turned out okay because now everybody got to attend a meet Kaleb party instead, which I think everybody benefits from. There were a ton of people there, so I won't bother naming everybody. A fun time was had by all especially after they all indulged in some apparently strong margaritas care of sir. Kaleb as expected was passed all round and he handled it fairly well, although somewhere near the end he started to get fussy. We ended up settling him down and he slept until right before we had to leave, so we were able to feed him and he made it home without waking up. All in all a fantastic week, with lots of activity and not much sleep. Thank god the work week is about to start. Oh yeah and on the way there I passed the 100,000 mile mark on my odometer. Not bad for only having the car for 4 1/2 years.

Summary: At the age of 24, in 1968, Dang Thuy Tram volunteered as a doctor in a Viet Cong battlefield hospital in the Quang Ngai Province. Two years later she was killed by American forces. Her diary speaks poignantly of her devotion to family and friends, the horrors of war, her yearning for her high school sweetheart, and her struggle to prove her loyalty to her country. At times raw, at times lyrical and youthfully sentimental, her voice transcends cultures to speak of her dignity and compassion and of her challenges in the face of the war's ceaseless fury. The American officer who discovered the diary was under orders to destroy all documents without military value. As he was about to toss it into the flames, his Vietnamese translator said to him, "Don't burn this one--it has fire in it already." 35 years later, it was returned home.--From publisher description.

Making Simple Visualizations Easy: A Front-End Engineer's Perspective
Melissa Bierly
Since the beginning, one of Mode's goals has been to make simple things easy and complex things possible.
In the past year, we added on data visualization capabilities on both fronts. We've added support for Python and its most popular data viz libraries and surfaced the ability to customize reports with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
At the same time, we're constantly adding to our out-of-the-box charting capabilities. Two recent advances—filterable, sortable display tables and Big Number charts for dashboarding—have been big for reporting. Behind the scenes, front-end engineer Franklin Clark has been rebuilding our charting capabilities from the ground up.
We recently took some time to chat with Franklin about what he's been up to in the six short months since he joined Mode.
Being an engineer at Mode
Hi Franklin. Let's start with what brought you to Mode?
I used Mode a lot at my previous company to identify and resolve edge-case product failures, and I really liked it. The application is pretty forgiving and very easy to use, especially for someone who doesn't spend a whole lot of time with SQL.
I was also looking for a change. I reached out to Mode because I was really excited at the prospect of working on an application that's used on a day-to-day basis. Plus, I thought Mode was a solid product; the design and the UX were very tight. I shot Mode an email and the recruiting team set up a phone screen. I had a very good feeling after meeting the team. And now here I am.
What's the product development process like at Mode?
We're light on process and the team is small. We maintain a collaborative momentum with weekly meetings and constant code reviews. During these meetings, we discuss design decisions and challenges on our projects. We get and give feedback, in regards to each others' code and in regards to our experience. The product planning and development process is collaborative, and it's constantly improving.
We have project team kickoffs, where everybody—engineers, designers, the product manager, stakeholders—come together and develop initial stories. At Mode, the project picks up momentum as stories are groomed and groundwork is done. It's been very organic and focused.
There's a lot of context given to all the team members working on a project, like how the work lines up with our marketing strategy and financial quarters. It's very different from a lot of companies where sometimes the process happens in a black box and then gets dumped on your lap. I'm a person who really finds it difficult to do something without understanding why. I ask a lot of questions, which might make me seem rebellious to managers who don't want to have those conversations. But, the team at Mode spends a lot of time sharing context up front, which makes projects much easier to execute.
Working on Mode's charts and tables
In the short six months that you've been here, you've been focused on projects related to presenting data. You launched the new display tables and the Big Number charts. Tell us about how those projects came to be.
My first project here at Mode was to make data tables that were more useful and useable. The kickoff meeting was really just a stream of requests—essentially a backlog that seemed to exist before I was here. Josh Ferguson, our CTO, wanted certain things to be faster. Customers had also requested filtering and the ability to sort columns.
I took those ideas and did my own investigation. After I got comfortable with a codebase and the domain, I talked with Mike DeCarlo, our product manager, and Blake Reary, one of our product designers, to get an understanding of implementation.
Those discussions created a collaborative momentum and a progressive energy, leading to a very fun proof of concept that brought together these different visualization initiatives.
Mode has a very mature, organic methodology in regards to planning and developing products. It allowed us to prioritize and develop the features very painlessly and deliberately. I've only been here for six months, but I've already done two large projects and now we're working on a third. I think that demonstrates the effectiveness of the collaboration and chemistry here at Mode with this team.
You mentioned doing your own investigation after that initial kickoff meeting. What did you dig into and what did you discover?
My goal was to encapsulate the concepts behind what the application does. I spent a lot of time in Mode, getting used to the product from a new perspective and figuring out how things worked.
When I dug into the codebase, it became apparent that we needed to do a large-scale refactoring. The code wasn't very clear or scalable.
When Mode started, reports could only contain one table and one chart. Since then, we've scaled to support several tables and charts of various types. Unfortunately, the rendering, all that flow-through, still went through the same single code path as the original implementation of the application. It was essentially an overgrown minimum viable product (MVP). We needed to tease out new abstractions from these monolithic methods and switch statements that our charts depended upon until that point.
How did you move from those discoveries to a proof of concept? Can you describe what the final proof of concept looked like?
After recognizing some patterns, I was able to figure out different ways of thinking about how tables and charts should operate. I brought up a couple of ideas:
Separating rendering from the data manipulation and sorting and computation.
Scaling a modeling concept into separate functionality groups to accommodate charts that are graphs or plot points, or that are tabular or pivoted.
The proof of concept was essentially the ground zero for our new library, called axle, that's in production today. Right now it works with straight or tabular data, but the next step is to accommodate pivoted data.
Why was separating rendering and data manipulation important?
The biggest is that the code is a lot more testable. When you're testing methods, you can now just test for a discrete input and output. You don't have to worry about a method that is going to have a series of side effects and compound the complexity of your application.
Another benefit is that the code is more learnable and scalable. We can actually think about problems in their discrete domains or in relation to the discrete domain or function. I can scale modeling. I can change our renderer from plain JavaScript, which it is today, to another web component library like React. That has a ripple effect across everything. Having that level of organization changes not only the way your applications function and are maintained, but also the way you think about your applications and how your customers think about your applications.
The next big thing is Pivot Tables. I think it's where the new modeling architecture is really going to lay down roots. Both tables and Big Number charts already leverage the new modeling architecture, but Pivot Tables are going to help bring it into focus as we add more functionality.
I'm very interested in the visualization juxtapositions. We're planning to ship Pivot Tables that can be heat maps or that are bar graphs. For instance, if you have a row that says 50%, 75%, 25%, it wouldn't just display those numbers—it would have visual representation.
That's going to become interesting because we're going to have to derive those values. I'm going to be applying the scales, color scales, and then applying value color scales, so if you give me a value of 50, I need to give you a blue or if you give me a 75, I need to give you a darker blue on a specific scale. It sounds like fun.
Scaling engineering work and processes
You've seen products and teams scale before. What have you learned that you're bringing to Mode?
Kyle Simpson talks about the need for a code to be learnable and effective, and I'm in agreement. Identifying patterns and creating proper abstractions is key to encapsulate the core domains and concepts represented within your code base. When you're scaling from a small team to a larger team, it's crucial to synchronize habits and, for lack of a better word, religion.
I think the goal of any effective team is to have their code base seem as though it were written by one person. That means coming together on a set of principles and style guides and stylistic guidelines for your codebase—that could result in a style guide or in a configuration that automatically validates your code against predetermined conventions. That makes your patterns and abstractions more teachable.
There a million ways to program something. Writing instructions for a computer to do something is easy. But the code we write is really for each other. When you're one or two people working on a project, you can forego dedicating too much attention to your methodology, but when you're a team, it's pretty important. That's something that we're focused on at Mode as we transition toward scale.
At your last company, you were the first front-end engineer and then the team grew. But at Mode, you came in to a front-end engineering team. What differences have you experienced coming into a growing team versus being one person that scaled into a team?
When you're the first engineer at a company, you dedicate a lot of time and energy to creating the codebase. As people join, you have to relate and assimilate other perspectives and personalities into not only the code but into your process, or into THE process. To do so, you have to be able to take criticism and emotionally distance yourself from your work.
When you join an established team, you first need to integrate and adopt practices. Start by following the rules of the road, and once empathy and appreciation and understanding is achieved, then volunteer ideas. That's when you bring in ideas from your own past experiences into a group that's trying to improve processes, code, and all these other cultural artifacts.
I find them to be totally different, but they both require empathy.
Fun at Mode
What's been your favorite moment at Mode so far?
I was recently the emcee at Modal Dialogue. That was fun. Modal Dialogue is a weekly meeting that we have, where different departments in the company share insights from their past week. It could be wins; it could be losses. It could be just insight into their general direction and learnings.
Every week, a different employee emcees the meeting—you're kind of king or queen for the day. You can orchestrate the meeting as you see fit. I DJ'ed in between presenters, and that was fun. I picked songs based on the content and personality of the presenter. For example, I played Beyonce's "Formation" before the announcements from our head of people ops. I thought it was appropriate.
Modal is a cool time to hang out and learn about how everything else is going. I think it brings everyone together.
Any parting words? Things you wish people knew about Mode or engineering at Mode?
The maturity, experience, and unselfish personalities that everyone brings to the team make working at Mode a very dynamic and healthy day-to-day experience. Mode has a lot of unspoken, very healthy values that resonate with the team. I think you can have conversation with anyone here and be able to get a sense of what it's like to work at Mode.
We're hiring software engineers, particularly those with Ruby and JavaScript experience. If you're interested in working with us, check out our careers page. We'd love to hear from you!

Many women want to reduce the size of their belly, but it is not so easy. There are numerous of diets and exercises, but only several of them provide some results. Our team TFT decided to give you a list of the best exercises for abdominal fat which will help you reduce your belly faster than you can imagine.
You need to do them every morning after waking up, and after several weeks you will see the results.
Start with the pushup position. Your upper part of the body must be straight in line with the elbows and toes when they are slightly raised. Keep up this straight position, take deep breaths, and feel the muscles getting strong. When you contract the buttock muscles, equally divide the weight into both legs and elbows to have more strength and balance.
Start the exercises lying face down on the ground with extended legs. Then you should push yourself up into the plank position. Try to maintain a tight core and flat back, bringing your left knee to your right elbow. Make a small pause and then return to the starting position. Repeat it ten times with both sides.
You should lie on your back on the floor with extended arms behind your head. Your feet need to be together, and your toes pointed toward the ceiling. Then start lifting your legs up and at the same time raises your upper body off the floor and reaches for your toes. Squeeze your abdominal muscles and hold the position for several seconds. Then bring your body back to the starting position.

In brief, the Trump Administration took steps to cancel the program on September 5th, 2017, of its own volition and ostensibly due to pressure from certain states litigating the program's legality. Several lawsuits immediately sought to enjoin (halt) the Administration, and have been successful to date. The program continues during the litigation, under restricted terms. New applications are not accepted, but extensions and reinstatments may be filed. Full details farther below, from USCIS.
The Ninth Circuit case–which is the jurisdiction of the West Coast–is called Regents of the University of California v. Department of Homeland Security. On November 8th, 2018, the Ninth Circuit upheld the preliminary injunction of the Administration's order to cancel the program, finding that the Plaintiffs are likely to prevail on the claim that the cancellation of the program is arbitrary and capricious. Similar cases are pending in the Second Circuit (Battala Vidal v. Nielsen) and the D.C. Circuit (NAACP v. Trump).
On November 6th, 2018, the U.S. Department of Justice made a formal request to the U.S. Supreme Court that it take all these cases on certiorari, and resolve the issues surrounding DACA. Typically, the Supreme Court will take a case where there is a disagreement between the Circuits, but so far, the cases are still pending in the Circuits, albeit with the temporary injunction upheld. It is unusual for the DOJ to request an earlier hearing, and it would be unusual for the Supreme Court to do so, but the rules do allow it do so in exceptional circumstances. The Supreme Court can be a bit mysterious in the way it decides as an institution to hear or case or not. However, it is likely they will consider the matter of hearing the cases early when the justice meet in the new year, and if they decide to do so, we will likely hear on January 7th, 2018. If I had to guess, I think the Supreme Court will let the Circuits handle the matter in typical fashion.
In the meantime, persons who have been granted DACA may apply for extensions. This is not a guarantee that the extension will be granted, as each case is decided on its merits. Additionally, persons who have previously had DACA but have had it lapse may apply again. More information on applying is available at www.uscis.gov , and I've pasted USCIS's advisory below. Various clinics are also available to assist with the applications, through organizations such as Northwest Rights Immigrant Project. Additional sources of information include the NWIRP, the National Immigration Law Center, and the Immigrant Legal Resource Center.
Feb. 14, 2018, Update: USCIS is not accepting requests from individuals who have never before been granted deferred action under DACA. Due to federal court orders on Jan. 9, 2018 and Feb. 13, 2018, USCIS has resumed accepting requests to renew a grant of deferred action under DACA. The scope of the Feb. 13 preliminary injunction issued in the Eastern District of New York is the same as the Jan. 9 preliminary injunction issued in the Northern District of California. Unless otherwise provided in this guidance, the DACA policy will be operated on the terms in place before it was rescinded on Sept. 5, 2017, until further notice.
If you previously received DACA and your DACA expired before Sept. 5, 2016, or your most recent DACA grant was previously terminated, you cannot request DACA as a renewal (because renewal requests typically must be submitted within one year of the expiration date of your last period of deferred action approved under DACA), but you may nonetheless file a new initial DACA request in accordance with the Form I-821D and Form I-765 instructions. To assist USCIS with reviewing your DACA request for acceptance, if you are filing a new initial DACA request because your DACA expired before Sept. 5, 2016, or because it was terminated at any time, please list the date your prior DACA expired or was terminated on Part 1 of the Form I-821D, if available.
