Q: Openshift 3 Socket io I have uploaded a site in openshift, everything seems to be working except socket io.
I can see the network tab that polling is taking place but no action is happening.
Here is my server side socket code
port= process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT || 8080

io = require('socket.io').listen(applisten);
    io.configure(function(){
      io.set("transports", ["xhr-polling"]);
   });

and below is my client side code to connectto socket.io
socket = io.connect("http://something:8000");

Thanks for any help :)

A: I have the same issue after socket.io changed to version 1.0.
Here's the changes that will make it work again:
io = require('socket.io').listen(applisten);
io.set('transports', [ 'polling', 'websocket' ]);

On client side:
socket = io();

Correct me if I'm wrong, another side effect from the changes I realised from the changes was that this function does not work:
socket.on('connect', function(data){
});

I change the keyword 'connect' to another something else and it works.
Hope that helps.

Summer Doldrums in the Stock Market
Becoming a Seasoned Investor
All Investing for Beginners
Investing for Beginners Basics
••• DreamPictures / Getty Images
By Joshua Kennon
Updated February 25, 2019
If you have read a lot of older investing tomes or spoken with stock traders of a bygone generation, you might have heard the phrase "summer doldrums" come up from time to time. Perhaps you've also heard the phrase, "Sell in May, then Go Away."
Though the concept of the summer doldrums isn't nearly as popular these days as it once was—we now live in an always-on, interconnected world where people are able to access markets from the furthest reaches of the planet or while they are using the restroom—it still plays an important psychological role in the stock market depending on who you ask.
First, let's get the definition of the way. The summer doldrums refers to the perception that the period between July and Labor Day is particularly dangerous for investors because many are away on vacation and, as a result, volatility is higher because liquidity is lower than it otherwise would have been. As a result, stock price fluctuations tend to create a lot of financial pain for those who would attempt to trade stocks.
Are the Summer Doldrums Real?
Whether the summer doldrums are a real phenomenon or whether it is largely a case of cherry picking and confirmation bias on the parts of traders is up for debate. What we do know is that the concern over liquidity is not as pronounced as it once was, and it's now possible for investors to trade easily even when they are on vacation.
What is not up for debate, in my mind at least, is that it's all nonsense and a useless distraction to the goal of building wealth. That is because those of you who have been reading my work know that I'm a long-term investor in the truest sense of the word. At the heart of my capital allocation philosophy, which I use not only in my own life but at my asset management firm, resides the following list of behaviors that make worrying about things like the summer doldrums a meaningless waste of time.
Don't buy any common stock or preferred stock in your brokerage account or custody account that unless you are comfortable holding onto it for at least five years.
Do not borrow on margin. In fact, don't invest in a margin account at all but, instead, demand a cash account. Not only will you never have to worry about a margin call, but you also shouldn't have to worry about rehypothecation and hyper-rehypothecation risk.
Diversify your portfolio. Understand why that's important.
Decide whether you will follow a valuation or systematic purchase approach, avoiding market timing.
Pay attention to the asset placement strategy to maximize your after-tax results. For example, except in the most unusual of circumstances, you shouldn't own tax-free municipal bonds through a Roth IRA.
Rather than worrying about the theoretical "summer doldrums," it's more crucial that you continue to add money to your portfolio, if at all possible. In addition, make sure your investment fees and expenses are reasonable. Let time do the heavy lifting, focusing on owning a collection of high-quality productive assets that you understand and, as long as civilization still stands, things have historically worked out in a satisfactory way.
Folks want to make things too hard. Don't fall into that trap. Investing is simple. That doesn't mean it is easy, but it is simple. Give yourself a long enough runway to compound while avoiding any major mistakes and the odds are good you'd be amazed at the outcome over a 25- to 50-year period.

Posts Tagged 'FC Timisoara'
Two rounds to go, two contenders left
May 10, 2011 Radu Baicu	Leave a comment
FC Vaslui's title hopes suffered a blow yesterday, when Adrian Porumboiu's club dropped two points against Astra Ploiesti and lost contact with the first two teams, FC Timisoara and Otelul Galati.
Timisoara had no problems in putting three past Unirea Urziceni, while Otelul's controversial win away at Victoria Branesti ignited a huge scandal, with the skipper Gabriel Paraschiv scoring from an offside position a late winner to grab all the points and stay on top of the league, with two rounds left to play.
Vaslui ends another season without a trophy and it's a delicate moment for the club's ambitious owner sponsor, who had hopes as high as the wages paid to important players like the Brazilian pair Wesley – Adailton or Slovakian goalie, Dusan Kuciak.
Porumboiu and Timisoara's owner, Marian Iancu, launched an attack not just towards Otelul's experienced president, Marius Stan, but also towards "dark forces" they have failed to identify.
"They're trying to show us that anyone but us could win this league", stated the two, but this is a theory they too have to struggle to understand. The fact is that we're close to a poor season, marked by the mediocrity of the title challengers and the numerous decisive mistakes made by the referees thoughout a year to forget that will be followed by yet another set of disappointments in Europe.
With two rounds to go, it's going to be either Otelul Galati or FC Timisoara, as the two teams will meet ,on Sunday evening, on the leaders' turf in what looks like the league's Final. Unfortunately, before thinking of a potential match winner within the two teams, it's wise to wait and hear the referees' names. It might be there, among the officials…

Three contenders, three rounds to go!
May 6, 2011 Radu Baicu	Leave a comment
With the big shots from Bucharest trying to book a place in Europa League, after yet another disappointing season, Otelul Galati, FC Timisoara and FC Vaslui have only three points between them, with three rounds left to play, in Liga I.
Otelul grabbed three vital points against Universitatea Craiova, on Thursday evening, taking full advantage of the draw between FC Vaslui and FC Timisoara, and regained the top spot, looking like the favorite not just because of it, but also thanks to the easiest schedule.
Next up for Dorinel Munteanu's men is Victoria Branesti, an already relegated team, and a win will ensure a lead and the possibility of a draw in the following game, which could be a title decider, as Otelul will host FC Timisoara.
The Viola also have the title in the hands, even if they're in second place now, three wins out of three being a guarantee for a title that will repay years of some important investments and also reward the always excellent support offered by a beautiful and passionate city like Timisoara.
For FC Vaslui, who badly needed a win against FC Timisoara on Wednesday, but Dorin Goga's goal cancelled their lucky one goal advantage, have small chances to finish first, in spite of schedule that would allow them to get maximum points.
Otelul's schedule:
Victoria Branesti – away
FC Timisoara – at home
Astra Ploiesti – away
FC Timisoara's schedule:
Unirea Urziceni – at home
Otelul Galati – away
Dinamo – at home
FC Vaslui's schedule:
Sportul Studentesc – at home
Pandurii Targu Jiu – away

Transfer analysis: FC Timisoara
December 10, 2010 Radu Baicu	1 comment
A more discrete presence on the market than in the past, Timisoara managed to sign three players that were going to play an important part in the first half of the season: Ovidiu Burca, on a free transfer, Helder, on loan from Nancy, and the former Inter Milan signing (back in the days when his huge potential had enough years ahead to be fulfilled), Ianis Zicu. The results were better than ever, with the team finishing the year unbeaten, even after a quite long spell under the command of an unexperienced coach like Cosmin Contra, and this strategy offered the chance to shine to players like Axente or Scutaru, talented youngsters bought a few years ago, who were used to be sent on loan or kept on the bench.

Foreign coaches at a sacking, err, turning point in their Romanian adventures
September 1, 2010 Radu Baicu	Leave a comment
Andrea Mandorlini (CFR Cluj), Lopez Caro (FC Vaslui), Vladimir Petrovic (FC Timisoara). Big names, high wages, scary anti-sacking clauses. What's to be done once they get their teams into deep trouble? Well, Timisoara's Marian Iancu always liked to look tough in the media, CFR's Arpad Paszkany plays the old "Backing the coach" trick and looks very supportive (until he finds a replacement), while FC Vaslui's Adrian Porumboiu has no other option than to beg the former Real Madrid to leave the team without asking for more than a couple of hundred thousand Euros. Not a good moment to be in charge of a club, right?
Mandorlini and Cadu, trying to understand each other
Mandorlini, saved by last season's trophies. But not for long…
CFR won the league and the Romanian Cup with him on the bench, but the team rarely offered convincing displays, struggling to adjust to a 4-3-3 that looked good on paper, but poor on the pitch. With the whole summer ahead of him and the chance to create a roster according to his plans, Mandorlini failed once again to impose his ideas. Important changes took place in the team, but CFR kept on switching between a 4-3-3 and a 4-3-1-2, in the first rounds that left the impression that Mandorlini needed a few more friendly matches, in order to make the team click. Six rounds gone and the champions are in mid-table, with the humiliating 0-3 defeat suffered against a newly promoted, Sportul Studentesc, still hurting a lot of egos in Cluj. Read more…

Round 5 – results, scorers, standings and highlights!

The round kicked-off with a surprise just for those who thought that everything's fine at the champion club. Sportul exploited the visitiors' arrogance and lack of determination, putting three past Nuno Claro, but could not end Mandorlini's contract, well defended by a clause of 800.000 Euros. Bad news for the numerous players who thought that this was the way to get rid of their coach, starting with Lacina Traore, who finished an embarrassing display with a criminal attack that killed any hope of a fightback conducted by the once out-of-favor Sixto Peralta.

FC Timisoara's tactics against Manchester City. My pleasure, Roberto!
August 16, 2010 Radu Baicu	1 comment
Timisoara snatched a point on Sunday evening in the dying moments of the away game at Universitatea Craiova, thanks to Ianis Zicu, and it's pretty clear who are the 13-14 players that will have the honor to fight with the Citizens, hoping to produce another European miracle.
FC Timisoara's first eleven in the last two games
Yesterday, it became clear that Vladimir Petrovic realized that his plans to build an offensive team need to be adjusted, that his eleven needs balance, otherwise it will be severely punished, just like it happened in the very dubious first half against MyPa, when his back four was so exposed that the hosts were 3-0 up after 45 minutes. The key to Timisoara's spectacular return was Alexandru Bourceanu, a central midfielder nicknamed Gattuso, whose impressive work-rate is vital in covering the spaces, breaking up attacks and linking up the play. He was among the starters in the impressive 3-2 win against CFR Cluj, as well as in last evening's game, and the Viola were punished only after a childish mistake from Srdjan Luchin. Universitatea struggled to create chances, while at the other end the 20.000 fans withnessed as much as four dangerous shots in the space of two minutes, in one of Timisoara's raids forward. Ok, the "drawing" goal came very late and based on some hazard and the hosts' lack of experience, but this was the fourth time in as many league games when Timisoara managed to come back from one or two goals down to earn a positive result!

Player of the round: Mircea Axente, FC Timisoara's bet of the season
Mircea Axente didn't waste time while he was away on loan
Name: Mircea Axente
Position: striker
Height/Weight: 186 cm/75 kg
Club: FC Timisoara
4 goals in 5 matches is a promising return from a striker discovered by Timisoara six years ago, who was used to be sent on loan to smaller clubs, once the season was kicking off. This time, Axente speculated Timisoara's discrete transfer campaign and caught the attention of Vladimir Petrovic, a coach who promised to give the team a more offensive approach. The 23 years old proved just the right man, although shuffled Pizon's best attacking "cards": Magera was pulled back as a central attacking midfielder, while the skilful Goga had to move on the right flank. Strong and tall enough to resist against tough opposition, Axente prefers a direct approach, based on quick turns and instinctive finishing from different positions. Good in the air, he's quick and unpredictable enough in movement, capable to find just enough space and put both power and precision behind his shots. All these qualities were on display against CFR Cluj, the latest match influenced by Axente (hit the bar once, then scored a nice goal to make it 2-1), who has every reason to feature against Manchester City, in the Europa League playoff, a match he wouldn't have dared to dream of when he was improving in the second division with CS Buftea or getting playing time in Liga I with Otelul Galati.

Player of the round: Lukas Magera, big season for the big man?
August 5, 2010 Radu Baicu	Leave a comment
Lukas Magera, good with the final ball, either he's offering it or getting it
Name: Lukas Magera
Position: centre forward/central midfielder
Liked the player since his arrival in Romania, at Dusan Uhrin's request, and still believe that he can be one of Liga I's top footballers, if used regularly in his natural position. This powerful centre-forward had "to pay" in the past for his excellent vision of the game and his ability to offer the final pass, being used a lot in central midfield, but things looked to have changed since the arrival of Vladimir Petrovic. Magera plays upfront alongside the creative and skillful Dorin Goga, an awesome partnership in my opinion, and the Czech has a perfect start of season. After a wonderful strike in the first round, Magera scored again last weekend, helping his team come from behind in a tough away match, against Gaz Metan Medias, for a 2-2 draw. The player offered another solid display, with his composed style and intelligent plays, looking comfortable on the ball, holding it upfield, opening up channels and throwing useful passes with both feet behind the opposition's defense. Ok, he looked too slow at times, but it would be unrealistic to ask for pace from a player of his size, while it's very clever from Petrovic to keep this guy as close to the danger zone as possible. Two goals and one assist in two games looks like a very promising return from a player who could enjoy his best season in Liga I. And probably his last.

FC Timisoara's new coach is Vladimir Petrovic
June 7, 2010 Radu Baicu	1 comment
Timisoara ended all speculation and presented the former Red Star Belgrade coach Vladimir Petrovic as Ioan Ovidiu Sabau's successor, in spite of all the rumors that involved the ex-trainer of CFR Cluj, Maurizio Trombetta. The 54 years old will be unveiled on Wednesday, in a press conference, but he already presented some of his plans, settled during the three rounds of talks with Daniel Stanciu, Timisoara's team manager: he'll have around six months to adjust, know the players and implement the ideas that should lead the Viola club to bigger success than the 3rd place occupied at the end of last season, but he obviously stated that he hopes to make the team play offensive, attractive and successful football even sooner.
Dinamo Bucharest made an interesting signing, after the promising keeper Cristian Balgradean agreed to sign a five years long deal with teh Red Dogs. The goalie has big chances to be followed by a former colleague from UTA, George Tucudean. The U19 national team centre forward asked for a few days to think things through, as, in spite of Bratu's loan to Lovech, the competition upfront is still very tough and he'll probably end up playing for the reserves… Read more…

Winston Parks is on the transfer list. At least until Timisoara gets a new coach
June 3, 2010 Radu Baicu	Leave a comment
Still trying to persuade Maurizio Trombetta, Vladimir Petrovic or Viorel Moldovan to take over after Sabau's resignation, FC Timisoara still have on the transfer list the Costa Rica international Winston Parks, who scored an outstanding goal against Switzerland in midweek. The striker, who has been underperforming most of the times last season, has a price tag of 1 million Euros, but Timisoara's officials say that the player is expected to resume training with the club after the summer holiday, if he won't find an interested team, and could get a second chance, if he impresses the new coach in pre-season.

This apartment, located within the iconic London building (originally British Gas Head Office), is situated on the north side of the River Thames in Pimlico next to Vauxhall Bridge. Like many modern apartments, this building has a very large glass area and gets very warm. The owners wanted air conditioning, but due to restrictions, they were not allowed to fit a traditional external condenser box or drill any external holes.
The only solution available to air condition this apartment was our internal condenser air conditioning system that allowed everything to be retained within the apartment.
For this installation, a water cooled condenser was installed in the hallway utility cupboard, to supply an energy efficient, quiet, DC Inverter high wall unit in the open plan kitchen/living room area.
Our technical team were able to connect the refrigerant pipework between the condenser and the room unit using the cavity wall, enabling all the pipework to be concealed. Throughout the installation, there was minimal disruption to the existing decoration.
No planning permission was required to fit our air conditioning system in this apartment.


We have a few places remaining on our Allegations Management half day training taking place on Thursday 4th October 2018 at Margaret McMillan Tower, Bradford 1.
This course is for managers of staff who have contact with children including heads of service, head teachers, human resource managers and managers in all BSCB partner agencies.
The course aims to ensure that all organisations that provide services to children, or provide staff or volunteers to work with or care for children, operate an appropriate procedure for handling allegations against staff.

Bolton Back To Europa S2E2 – Standing Our Early Ground
Posted byScott Dora 17th January 2021 17th January 2021 Posted inBolton Back to EuropaTags:Bolton Wanderers, BWFC, FM21, football, Football Manager, Football Manager Blog
The start of the League 1 season, I am excited for the team and happy to be where I wanted us to be in season 2. I feel positive and don't expect us to be battling relegation however, getting a decent enough start in the first few months of the 2021/22 season is important to ensure we start settle above the dreaded area of the league.
The league starting on the last day of July means there is still time to get players in and out to ensure we can accomplish our goal of a mid-table finish. Let's getting going and see how we navigated through the start of season!
As usual in the lower two EFL leagues, cup games pop up from the start of the season. To be fair I wouldn't mind a run in the Papa John's trophy this season but that all depends on our league positioning.
2 draws to start the season vs. Swindon & Bristol Rovers, both having the same story. 2-0 up in both, ended up drawing 2-2 conceding late goals. A Ryan Delaney red card didn't help matters vs. Bristol Rovers. It was clear we were still trying to settle in the league so I wasn't looking to change anything at this point. Rotherham knocked us out of the Carabao cup on penalties, they are a league higher so could be half expected but I'm not fussed as League 1 clubs make up the numbers in that competition if we're honest with ourselves!
A good win against fellow promoted club Leyton Orient to get our first win of the season before sharing the points once again, this time with MK Dons. A tight 1-0 win vs. AFC Wimbledon was particularly pleasing meaning we finish July/August with no losses in the league. Morecambe were dealt with emphatically in the Papa John's trophy group stage bringing the team 4 goals.
Lloyd Isgrove's Injury Record
Lloyd Isgrove is probably my best winger alongside Nathan Delfouneso but as seen in Season 1, the man cannot stay fit. Again, in training Isgrove picks up another injury and when you review his medical report you will see my frustration as it is either a good few weeks out or little knocks which would make him miss a match. I think if it carries on I will need to move him on in January unfortunately! His injury susceptibility has gone up to very high so when he is back, he will need to be managed very carefully by myself.
Shoutout FM for including a random foot injury from 2017 in his history!
August Transfers/Deadline Day
Going through August there wasn't much activity in terms of transfers, I secured 20 year old striker Ryan Cassidy on loan due to an injury to Eoin Doyle which would keep him out for 4 months. The loan was for the season as in turn I was trying to secure a loan out for Bright Amoateng our young prospect up front to get him constant game time.
Then on deadline day, a scramble for a centre back was then kicked off after disaster struck…
Transfers In after deadline day
Transfers out after deadline day
Ricardo Almeida Santos who had taken a spot in our starting line up partnering Ryan Delaney at the back had caught wind of interest from Ipswich. They bid 20k and I rejected it so Santos reacted as you'd expect. He didn't want to stay as he believed Ipswich had a better squad…he was right to be fair. We had to agree a price between us for a bid to be accepted, started with 100k, but it ended up being a lot lower due to his one year contract (extended last season) and he left for 48k. I had about 3 hours game time to find someone and with no backing from the board it had to be a loan.
After going through player after player, I found Toti Gomes from Wolves' Portuguese conveyor belt of players. He was at Estoril last season on loan and I wasn't convinced he would be up for League 1 but I went for it, only had to pay him £400p/w as well as part of the deal. With time running out, Toti Gomes thankfully agreed and we got our 3.5 star man with less than an hour to go, capable of covering centre back and left wing back – success!
Bar Santos leaving, I was very happy with the summer window. Some very good free signings and clearing out some deadwood makes the squad a lot easier to manage. Once everyone is familiar with the tactics hopefully we can get some more wins in the bag.
A fairly decent start with 2 wins and 3 draws after 5 league games, this left us 9th with a game in hand going into September as we have a few players who get called up internationally for senior squads and U-17 to U21s squads and the league allowed us to postpone fixtures due to this.
Just the 4 games in September and I was very happy with this month. A massive 6-0 win vs. Fleetwood after a mentality change to Balanced. I done this as we were getting countered more often playing positive, I also made the change for my Goalkeeper to distribute with short kicks as we don't have the necessary height to win long kicks, my defence are good enough to play out seemingly.
Two 3-1 victories against Crewe and recently relegated Sheffield Wednesday (massive result!) either side of our first league loss to Doncaster. I wasn't too disheartened by this as we're going to lose games in League 1, I did feel they are a team we could beat but we bounced back which was the main thing.
Our 9 points gained in September took us up to 4th place after 9 games, which is an awesome start in my eyes but we can't get ahead of ourselves as there are a fair few fixtures in October to get through in the league and cup.
Couple of 1-0 wins to get us going, one in the league vs. Newport County and a win vs. Newcastle U23s to send through us to the Papa John's Trophy knockout rounds with a game to spare.
We had a small wobble in the middle of the month, 3-2 loss vs. Coventry which was a battle of a match but we succumbed to a loss. This followed with two 1-1 draws with Charlton and Accrington who were both in the relegation places, I was a little disappointed by this as they were both in bad form, as good as Charlton are on paper I wanted to take advantage of this.
Burton were flying high with us and this would be a great game to bounce back in and it was a close one where we stole a late 3-2 win much to my pleasing. My side finished off the month with a straight forward 2-0 win at Northampton but it came at a big cost…
Yes, that is a another Isgrove injury in my emails…
Nathan Delfouneso who is a massive player for me on the right wing, smashed it in League 2 and his stats above show his effect in this league also. Achilles injuries are nasty and this was definitely one of them, damaging a tendon which will cost him 5-6 months of his career. You may be wondering who will replace him, there are a few options. Dennis Politic is back from his 15 month injury lay off, young prospect Finlay Hurford-Lockett can step up and striker Simon Murray has the capability to play there too, however Murray has flew out the blocks goal wise so ideally I'd like to keep him up front.
Apart from that injury, October was another decent month for us in what must be judged a very good start from us and we seem to be getting better month by month.
October Signings!
After our clear out over the summer window, it became apparent that we were still a bit light defensively. The reason being 35 year old Bolton legend Alex Baptiste just wasn't good enough any more in the centre of defence and he was too slow to play right back (5 pace!!) and we didn't have much cover for new star Dan Butler at left back.
I found 33 year old left back Lewis Stevenson in the free agents market, released from Hibs up north in the Scottish Premier League. 2.5 star player signed until the end of the season, I got him in as back up and to get us through the League 1 season. I'm not looking to retain him next season in the hope that our financial situation is better so we can sign better competition at left back – I still hope for us to be taken over!
Kieran Wallace was actually found by my scout ex-premier league striker Tomasz Radzinski! Wallace was released by Burton Albion despite his 3 star rating and can play CB, LB and a few roles in CM, the best bit was he agreed to £170 p/w to sign on a free, absolute bargain. He will be used as centre back cover for the time being.
No more signings if any, until January my friends!
After 15 games and one in hand which is against table topping Ipswich, we sit just inside the play offs about a third of the way through the season. I'm very happy with that and to only lose 2 games in our opening 15 is impressive from my squad.
Episode 3 will focus on the months of November through to the end of January, again containing the winter transfer window. I'm hoping none of my other important players try to push through a transfer in this one like Almeida Santos did in August, as fellow FM21 players I'm sure you understand the stress of scrambling for players last minute!

For many years, I made lunches for our daughter, Shannon, to take to school. As a vegetarian, she sometimes had few options provided in the school cafeteria, and packing her lunches was a good way to make sure she had something she would eat.
Shannon graduated from high school in 2012, and by that time, I had added lunches for Jack to my daily routine. For each, I made sure that the lunch contained a healthy balance of items: one main item (like a sandwich or wrap), a veggie, a piece of fruit, chips and a treat.
Some might question if that is, in fact, a healthy balance; I say yes, given some of the alternative choices we face. As a junk food junkie myself, I know the temptation to select the quick and the easy. I don't want that for my kids (we'll talk about me another time), so I'm happy to pack the lunch each morning.
The Sandwich: being the main portion of the lunch, this item keeps us filled and fueled until the next meal. What's a sandwich in our spiritual lives? I'd suggest that worship fills this role. Once a week, we come together with others to hear a message, learn more about God and our relationship with God – to praise and to proclaim that which we know is good. With lunch, some choose turkey over pastrami; some choose a veggie wrap over chicken tortilla wraps. With worship, some people choose traditional, some like modern or contemporary. Some prefer live streaming, some come in person. Whatever the choice, the meaningful service hold us over until the next week; but alone, it's not enough. What else do we need?
The Vegetable. Yes, I know. Many of us would not choose to include a vegetable for our lunch. Yet, each day, I make sure I put carrots, or green peppers or cucumbers in Jack's lunch sack. Vegetables are those lunch items that need a little more chewing; they are often crunchy, needing more time to digest than some food items. The equivalent in our spiritual lives, I think, is bible study. No, not because the Words is hard to digest; when we read and strive to understand the Word, we are pondering and listening, and learning. Reading the Word, and understanding it, takes time – just like eating the crunchy vegetables sometimes takes time.
The Fruit. You're waiting for me to make some kind of lame connection to the apple, aren't you? Instead, I'm going to point you to Galatians 5:22-23: "…the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." Packing a piece of fruit in our lunch reminds us that there are 'fruits' we gain from living a faithful life.
The Chips. Let me be the first to say, this is a hard one for me. I often go overboard on chips. But adding chips to the meal brings a variety, and adds a bit of tasty salt to the mix. Wait – you ask – isn't salt bad for you? Yes, it can be, but not the way Matthew uses it in The Message, MT 5:13. In that verse, Jesus says, "Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness?" Using salt – and chips – sparingly when we pack our lunch, that's the key. We add chips and salt to flavor the rest of the meal – the worship, the bible study, the fruits of the Spirit.
That treat in the lunch is not meant to be eaten alone; when we live a life of faith, we want to share the joys of that life with others. We share by faith and by actions – loving others, serving others, loving God, serving God.
That's what I call balancing a faithful life. And I think about it every morning, when I pack Jack's lunch.


It will be a roadmap event for IoT Learning drive across universities under theme "Connected Universities: Connected Dreams".

Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology for Architecture, Engineering and Construction
Written by Tanya Weaver
Your brief is Mars: what would you design, construct or engineer for a new smart city in the Mars Valley, home to one million humans? Tanya Weaver reports on a new global competition that is asking participants to take their imaginations to infinity and beyond
It is 2117 and you're standing on the side of a hill, looking down onto your city and its one million residents. The sun is setting and Earth is just a distant star. You're on Mars, colonised by humans just a few decades ago.
As you stand there, are you breathing normally or inside a mask? Are you wearing a spacesuit or is your skin exposed? Is your home above or below ground? How do you move from place to place? What food do you eat and how do you grow it? What do you do for fun?
These are all tantalising questions – and they're questions that the Washington-based National Space Society (NSS) is keen to see answered. The organisation's vision, after all, is to see people and working in thriving communities beyond Earth. "I grew up under the stars in the Canadian prairies and developed a passion for space," says director Chantelle Baier.
"The prospect of human exploration really excites me. We get to start thinking about what our houses will look like in space, what we'll be wearing and what technologies will make living in space more comfortable."
Race to the Red Planet
It is no longer a question of whether humans will get to Mars, but how soon. The race to the Red Planet has begun and several organisations are competing to win.
There is, of course, NASA, with its plan for humans to set foot on Martian soil by the end of 2030s.
Then there is California-based SpaceX, which also plans to boldly go where no human has gone before. Its founder, enigmatic entrepreneur Elon Musk, has revealed that SpaceX will begin manned flights to Mars by 2026 in a mammoth spacecraft that can take 100 people on each trip.
Dutch company Mars One, meanwhile, proposes to send 24 people to Mars by 2035. The number is precise: potential participants are being carefully vetted, since they will be required to dedicate their lives to the mission. It's a one-way trip and the intention is for them to become Mars' first permanent residents.
Long-term prospects Getting to Mars is one thing. Surviving on the planet is another thing entirely. From data so far received from Mars rovers, it's not exactly a hospitable or desirable environment in which to live, especially if you're one of the Mars One crew who will live out the rest of your days there.
The planet's atmosphere contains almost no oxygen. It is subject to intense radiation. Its seasons are extreme, with maximum temperatures in winter reaching -126C and in summer reaching a balmy 20C (the average temperature is -63C unlike earth's 14C).
Mars is prone to massive dust storms and has 62.5% less gravity than Earth. On the positive side, it's good for weight loss – if you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you'd only weigh 38 pound on Mars.
Bearing all this in mind, why design for Mars? Why dedicate time and resources to creating technology for an inhospitable planet, when we have enough going on in our own planet, which could soon become pretty inhospitable itself, if we aren't careful?
The reasoning offered by NASA and others is that technologies created for space can often be used here on Earth. In fact, NASA has a whole section of its website dedicated to technology transfer projects and spin-off companies based on that proposition.
For instance, Houston-based architect Garrett Finney was tasked by NASA to create space-saving designs for a 'habitation module'. Inspired by this work, he then went on to set up Cricket (now known as TAXA Outdoors), a camper trailer company renowned for its compact, yet comfortable, ergonomic products.
Then there are water filtration systems, structural analysis software in the form of Nastran, and even a CO2 recovery technology system created for Mars that is being used by small-scale brewers to put the bubbles into craft beer.
Fuelling the imagination
The prospect of designing for another planet, no matter how inhospitable, helps fuel the imagination. It's inspiring – not just for adults, but for children too.
As Mars One CEO Bas Lansdorp recently said at the Institution of Engineering and Technology's (IET) Festival of Engineering event in London,
"I think landing on Mars will change our planet. It will inspire children to want to be engineers and scientists and astronauts again, instead of pop stars."
But from Chantelle Baier's point of view, the human-centric aspect of designing for Mars and space is paramount. Just because we're leaving home behind, doesn't mean that our destination shouldn't be comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.
"The emphasis on designing for space is predominantly focused on engineering and functionality. Right now, the International Space Station looks like a tin can – it doesn't look warm and homely," says Baier, whose background, interestingly, lies in the diverse fields of geology and fashion design.
"It's about the importance of beauty and design that surrounds us on Earth and how we can implement this when planning our Mars colonisation," she adds.
Baier is bringing these views to a new competition – HP Mars Home Planet – for which she sits on the advisory panel. Organised by HP and Nvidia, this yearlong competition, launched in August 2017, is a challenge to the creative community to design solutions for a time when there are one million people living on Mars. More specifically, the challenge envisages they'll be living in Mawrth Vallis – Mars Valley in Welsh – already identified by NASA as a potential landing site.

"We're not trying to figure out why a million people are on Mars, we are just accepting that they are there and living a happy life," says Sean Young, HP's worldwide segment manager for product development and AEC, who is managing the competition. "This implies a number of innovations in technology and we wanted to tap into the talent and capability among architects, engineers, civil engineers and designers to really reinvent life on another planet," he adds.
Blank sheet design brief
In a sense, this is the ultimate 'blank sheet design brief', because Mars is literally empty. Of course, there are considerations and limitations in terms of climate, soil and atmosphere, but you could literally let your imagination run riot in creating solutions for a Martian smart city.
Frustrations on our current planet could be solved for another. Participants have the opportunity to completely rethink how humans can survive and thrive. Their mission: to think outside of the box or, more to the point, to think outside the planet.
As Baier says: "With Mars having onethird gravity of Earth and very, very low pressure, things that aren't safe in one planet might be safe in another. Perhaps you can design higher buildings that won't topple over."
The Mars Home Planet competition, unlike its predecessor, Project Soane, which was targeted predominantly at architects, will be relevant to all HP's customers, including students. "The key thing is that they are using the tools they use daily, such as Revit, Maya, Fusion 360 and 3d Max, and so for that reason, we partnered with Autodesk," says Young.
The competition consists of three phases: concept (now complete); 3D modelling; and rendering. Each phase doesn't lead on from the previous one – it's not a question of asking entrants to follow a design through from concept to rendering. Instead, each phase is independent, with its own deadline and prizes.
"The idea with the concept phase was to create a low barrier for entry: anyone can get involved as they don't need to use a 3D application. The aim was to get the word out there and to inspire the next phase," Young explains.
"We received over 470 entries and we were truly blown away by them. They ranged from basic schematics to detailed architectural concepts and even some that looked like full on thesis papers," he laughs.
With help from the advisory panel, which includes individuals representing space, design, architecture, science and virtual reality, among others fields, the entries were whittled down into a shortlist.
These were then presented to a preeminent panel of judges, including Dr Robert Zubrin, president of the Mars Society; Daniel Libeskind, architect and founder of Studio Libeskind; Chris deFaria, president of DreamWorks Animation Group; and Andrew Anagnost, CEO of Autodesk.
The winners were announced at the recent Autodesk University Las Vegas 2017. Among them were Jesus Velazco from Venezuela, who received the award in the architecture category for 'Solar Powered Colony', which features a main structure underground with only a solar farm above ground.
Kenny Levick from the US received the Infrastructure award for 'Mars-Genesis & Mawrth-Integra: Interplanetary Design', which focuses on how semi-autonomous architecture and the construction of an early colonisation infrastructure network can aid in the growth of humans on Mars.
Xavier Albizu of Spain received the transportation award for his 'MARS Multi Utility Vehicle' and Jorge Moreno Fierro of Columbia received the design award for his adaptive parametric construction machine called 'Bio System'.
Mars Home Planet Urbanisation Concept Challenge
Infrastructure 1 winner: Kenny Levick (United States), Mars-Genesis & Mawrth-Integra: Interplanetary Design focuses on how semi-autonomous architecture and the construction of an early colonisation infrastructure network can aid in the growth of humans on Mars
Innovation in Science winner: Lake Matthew Team (United States), Artificial Geomagnetic Field to Protect a Crewed Mars Facility from Cosmic Rays
Second phase launched
At Autodesk University this month, the second, 3D modelling phase of the competition was launched. The deadline for entries is 25 February 2018.
For this phase, participants need to create 3D models of their designs in categories including civil engineering, architecture, industrial design, vehicle design, mechanical engineering, 3D art and interior design. As Young says, "The rules are: respect the physics of Mars, use your imagination and have fun!"
Asking Baier of NCC what her advice to entrants of this phase would be, she says, "Design your base for people to have things to do. I suggest science and entertainment. Don't design a Mars base like an Apollo spaceship that ignores human factors. Take into account that people need space. You want people to be happy and healthy."
Launch Forth
Although the competition consists of these three phases, there are a whole range of other activities to get involved in at the Mars Home Planet competition website. This is being managed by Launch Forth, a software-asa- service (SaaS) platform for product design.
Participants are encouraged not just to log in to submit their entry and log out again, but also to join the site's community to brainstorm, comment, give feedback and collaborate around other non-challenge categories such as lifestyle, farming and robotics. There is even a leaderboard to track progress and to see how you stack up against others in the community.
"Launch Forth is a tried-and-tested cocreation platform from Local Motors that uses open innovation to accelerate the product development process. And for Mars Home Planet, they have created a whole Mars community based on this platform and already 35,000 have signed up," explains Young.
The competition accepts entries from both individuals and teams. A virtual team could even be set up amongst community members on the platform. "For example, if you're an architect and you need some chemical engineering help, or you need somebody that really knows about the science of Mars, you could invite them to partner up and join your team," he adds.
Baier considers this a real advantage, as it means entrants aren't working in silos. "You get conversations started and that helps stimulate your imagination. I think that scientists like that, too, because they are so used to thinking about things like jet propulsion that they are often not allowing themselves to think creatively," she says.
There is also a virtual reality (VR) element to the competition, running in parallel with these three phases. Using Mars Valley terrain from Fusion's 'Mars 2030' VR game, based on real NASA-supplied terrain data and imagery, special effects company Technicolor will help co-creators on the Launch Forth platform to bring the winning entries into the Unreal Engine.
The end result will be a VR simulation of a smart city in the Mars Valley, created through the combined imagination of Mars Home Planet contributors.
This crowdsourced VR experience will be revealed when the year-long competition draws to a close at Siggraph in August 2018. Here, event visitors will be able to strap on an HTC Vive headset and imagine themselves as one of the one million people experiencing life on Mars.
Young is looking forward to the upcoming phases of the competition. "The competition is basically a petri dish for imagining the best possible utopian society and how this one million martians will be living in this built environment. And who knows where it could lead? We could even see these designs being used in Mars in the future."

Among a number of American mares imported (with great over-all success) to New Zealand by John McKenzie, was Slapfast, who came as a two-year old in 1926 boasting a yearling record in her homeland of 2:22 ¼. She was by Trampfast, a male-line descendant of one of Hambletonian 10's most influential sons, George Wilkes.
A pony of less than 15 hands, Slapfast had no success in her early years as a matron from McKenzie, and was sent up for auction at Tattersalls in Christchurch as an 11-year-old in 1935. Her buyer, for a mere 12 guineas, was long-time New Zealand Trotting Calendar manager-editor Karl Scott, who subsequently sold the mare cheaply to Pahiatua breeder F. E. Ward.
For Ward, Slapfast, to imported Rey de Oro, first produced Gold Flight, winner of six races. Karl Scott then persuaded Ward to breed Slapfast to Sandydayle, whom he and his brother had on lease for one season. The filly foal from this mating was Sandfast.
In 1941, Ward asked Don Nyhan to train Sandfast for him. Born in Petone, near Hutt Park, Don had trotting in his blood. His father, Dan Nyhan, was a familiar name in the sport, having won the 1909 Auckland Cup with his own horse Havoc and taken the 1913 edition of that race driving Jewel Chimes.
When, as a two-year-old, Sandfast trialled over a mile at Hutt Park in 2:10, Don Nyhan knew he had something good. He decided to give her time to strengthen. Soon after, Sandfast got out of her yard and into a bog. It took Nyhan and several young boys a considerable time to rope her and get her out. She almost died. Nursed back to apparent health and recommissioned, it was found she had been strained by the mishap. She was no longer the beautifully gaited pacer she had been.
After one unsuccessful race, Sandfast was returned to her owner at Pahiatua. Ward mated her with the Jack Potts horse Conflagrate, but Sandfast killed the colt foal soon after it was born. Her next consort was the grand Globe Derby horse Logan Derby, standing in the Manawatu area at the time. The colt foal resulting from this mating was Johnny Globe.
After the death of his wife Ward decided to return to his homeland, England. He sent for Nyhan to discuss what to do with Sandfast and her colt foal. Nyhan was completely unimpressed by the small and weedy Johnny Globe, but his wife Doris prevailed upon him to spend the £50 they had saved for a fur coat for Doris to buy the youngster. Ward gave Nyhan a half-share in Sandfast, and on Ward's death Nyhan purchased the other half from the estate for 100 guineas.
Nyhan subsequently sold Sandfast, in foal the Highland Fling's trotting full-brother Highland Kilt, for 900 guineas at the national sales in 1951. The buyer was none the other than Edgar Tatlow, who had bred Logan Derby.
Nyhan decided to build up Johnny Globe sufficiently to make a profit on the fur coat money by selling him at auction. When Johnny Globe showed him a half-mile in 1:06, he pulled him out of the sale. Moving to West Melton in Canterbury, Nyhan produced Johnny Globe as a two-year-old, and first-up won the 1950 Timaru Nursery. Bad feet contributed to four subsequent defeats at two, and the filly Vivanti was acclaimed the cream of that crop.
Johnny Globe came back with a vengeance at three to win the New Zealand and Great Northern Derbies, the former in a race-record 3:15 and the latter by 22 lengths, and three other races. Winning the Metropolitan Challenge Stakes he beat Yankiwi by seven lengths, with nine to Flight Commander, and set a New Zealand three-year-old record for a mile and a quarter of 2:37 3/5. In March the same term he clocked 2:37 1/5 when second to On Approval against older rivals at Addington.
Johnny Globe's like as a four-year-old was never before seen on New Zealand tracks. That season, 1951/52, he was the leading stake-winner with £9360. He won eight races and was a close second between Van Dieman and Young Charles in the New Zealand Cup; only the third four-year-old to start in the event after Acron (second in 1923) and Native Chief (unplaced in 1926). His wins included the All-Aged Stakes off 36 yards at Ashburton by five lengths from Fallacy with seven lengths to Tactician; the Champion Free-for-all at Forbury Park; New Zealand Metropolitan Challenge Stakes and Hannon Memorial Handicap at Oamaru.
At five, Johnny Globe, starting favourite in the New Zealand Cup, collapsed dramatically soon after the start and took no serious part in the race. He was found to be suffering from respiratory trouble and did not race again at the carnival. Despite this, he had 22 outings as a five-year-old for five wins (including free-for-alls at Addington, Forbury Park and Hutt Park), two seconds, a third and two fourths.
At six, Johnny Globe won the Ashburton All-Aged Stakes for the second time and on his way to placing fourth in the Oamaru Hannon Memorial became tangled in the starting barrier – an episode which led to nervousness at the start for several months and was costly both to him and his army of 'financial supporters'.
Nevertheless, he had five wins, four seconds and a fourth and was the unluckiest of runners-up in Adorian's New Zealand Cup. Losing 60 yards at the start when he collided with Tactics in a skirmish, Johnny Globe still made second in 4:13. He beat Adorian in 2:35 3/5 in the New Zealand Free-for-all and also (by 10 lengths) in the Metropolitan Flying Sprint. He clocked 2:01 1/5 for a mile from a standing start in the latter event, still a record at the end of 1981/82. Van Dieman had to go 4:11 2/5 to beat Johnny Globe in the Ollivier Free-for-all. Later that term, from 42 yards, Johnny Globe won the Metropolitan Rattray Handicap, beating Petite Yvonne and Tactician, in 4:12 4/5.
Seven was a big year for Johnny Globe. Winning the Hannon Memorial from 30 yards, he broke the long hoodoo on the Hannon – New Zealand Cup double by winning the Cup from 48 yards with a terrific performance. With Tactician forcing a sizzling pace (first mile and a quarter in 2:37), Johnny Globe followed Young Charles around the field going down the back the last time, and straightened for home behind Tactician and Young Charles, with Rupee, Our Roger, Adorian and Au Revoir all in close attendance. Young Charles took the measure of Tactician soon after, then was quickly challenged by Johnny Globe. The pair waged a dour struggle, with Johnny Globe staying on a shade the better.
It was a wonderful finish to a great race, with many of the 20,000-plus on the course roaring 'Come on, Johnny!' when it was apparent that his gallant attempts to win the Cup were finally to be rewarded.
Johnny Globe's 4:07 3/5 for the two miles shattered the world record of 4:10 3/5 held by Highland Fling. From post to post, he paced the two miles in 4:05 3/5 – two fifths of a second inside the fastest two miles recorded by a standardbred, the 4:06 time-trial clocking by famed American trotter Greyhound in 1939.
Johnny Globe's mark was to stand until 1969, when West Australian mare Dainty's Daughter won in 4:07 at Gloucester Park.
This was also the season of Johnny Globe's one-and-only tilt at Interdominion honours. He beat Laureldale, Margaret's Own, Petite Yvonne and company in an Interdominion Free-for-all on the grass at Thames (in 2:36 3/5) just prior to the Auckland carnival, but was afflicted by neuritis after a fourth on the first day of the Auckland carnival.
He was permitted to stand down on the second day, and, his fastest time from opening day having scraped him into the final, he was nursed along by Nyhan, who got him to the post wondering if he was fit for the job. Badly checked 4 ½ furlongs out, Johnny Globe came storming home in the straight, but failed by a head to catch Tactician. For his runner-up placing he paced his final half-mile in 57 3/5 seconds.
Johnny Globe's toilings that season earned £10,105, making him top stake-earner, a title he had taken as a four-year-old. At eight he bypassed the New Zealand Cup but still had six wins and four placings worth £5967 10s, while at nine, his last season of racing, he had two seconds and two fourths from five attempts. He retired with earnings of £42,887 10s, the largest amount for a standardbred or thoroughbred solely in New Zealand and exceeded only within Australasia by Captain Sandy's £43,712.
He retired boasting 34 wins in 99 starts and four world records: two miles in 4:07 3/5; 11 furlongs in 2:50 1/5; a mile in 2:01 1/5 (all from a stand); and a mile against time on grass at Epsom in 1:59 4/5. He won 15 free-for-alls, the greatest number credited to any horse in his homeland, and he also held the New Zealand winning record for a three-year-old at a mile and a quarter of 2:37 3/5.
Johnny Globe was officially fare welled at a New Brighton meeting at Addington in December 1956, the huge crowd cheering emotionally as he paraded to the accompaniment of the band playing 'When Johnny Comes Marching Home'. In eulogy to him, Allan Matson, president of the trotting Conference, said: 'I am sure it is the fervent wish of everyone here that Johnny Globe produces one equal to himself.' And, of course, he would do just that.

Ep.29 - Matthew Smith - Food allergy before "allergy"
How were bizarre reactions to food described before the coining of the term 'allergy' in 1906? Dr Matthew Smith explains.
Season 1 Food & Diet Gastroenterology Immunology
How were bizarre reactions to food described before the coining of the term 'allergy' in 1906?
Symptoms reminiscent of food allergy have been observed since Ancient Greece and Rome, with Lucretius stating that one person's food could be another's poison. Many physicians were convinced that reactions to food were responsible for symptoms ranging from asthma to migraine. At the root of debates about food allergy were questions about the value of patient testimony and the difficulty in proving the link between food and chronic reactions, issues that remain to this day.

A biker accused of dangerous driving said his claim that he "popped a wheelie" at 120mph was "typical blokeish bravado".
Simon Mark Acton told a jury at Caernarfon Crown Court today that he had pulled away from a roundabout in the wrong gear and the front wheel of his powerful bike had briefly risen about eight or nine inches.
He said the incident was a "bit of a shake up" and he tended to slow down a bit after that.
The 37-year-old cafe owner, of Walnut Crescent, Rhyl , is said to have been one of four bikers riding at high speed on the A470 from Betws y Coed to Llandudno in April last year.
The matter came to light after two of the bikers collided in Llanddulas and police found a video camera mounted on the helmet worn by Michael McKinnon Groves, 39, of Pennant Uchaf, Rhuallt.
The footage on the camera showed the bike travelling at speeds of up to 126mph, with the other bikers either ahead, overtaking or speeding away.
Groves and Andrew Bennett, 47, of Pen y Cae, Abergele, have admitted two charges of dangerous driving.
Acton and Christopher James Jones, 24, of Gele Avenue, Abergele, deny the charges.
Giving evidence in his defence, Acton said the wheelie happened at the Black Cat roundabout near Glan Conwy.
He told his barrister Andrew Green it was a comment he made when the group stopped for a break in Llandudno .
"It was typical blokeish bravado," he said.
"You can't do 120mph on a roundabout."
Quizzed by prosecutor Paulinus Barnes, he accepted he had broken the speed limit at times but insisted he had not driven dangerously.
Acton said: "My riding was safe. No one else was put at risk or inconvenienced."
The 37-year-old also faces a charge of perverting the course of justice.
He denied trying to deliberately mislead the police by stating he was not the rider of the bike when he responded to a notice of prosecution.
Earlier, Jones agreed he had been speeding but said he had made no illegal manoeuvres such as crossing double white lines or undertaking other vehicles.
Asked by his barrister John Hedgecoe if he had inconvenienced other road users at any stage, he said: "No."
He pointed out that, for the most part, he could not be seen on the video footage shown to the jury as he was behind the motorbike driven by Groves.
Jones told Mr Barnes he believed he was a competent rider and had deemed it safe to ride at high speed along the A470.
He added he has a restricted licence for new or less experienced riders and his bike is fitted with a device which limits the throttle.
Jones denied removing this device and refitting it later.

Engaging local and community partners to bolster support services for students including introducing and continuing the financial education to our students in an excellent strategy. It could formalize a relationship, bring in new expertise, deliver a new perspective and set of resources for a particular focus area.
To commemorate February as the Financial Aid Awareness month, Financial Literacy and Postsecondary Completion groups are hosting a special discussion from today, February 3rd to Friday, February 14th on ideas and strategies around integrating financial literacy into adult education programs.
The National College Access Network (NCAN) just launched this year's campaign to encourage high school seniors (and adults) to apply for federal financial aid. Materials include a guide for filling out the FAFSA (see below). This year's focus is on reaching low income and minority students.
When I think about transition to college, I often help learners focus on making their lives as stable as possible -- stable housing, employers and work schedules that provide flexibility, lining up personal and financial resources, etc. For homeless young adults, taking the leap to college (with housing options) may provide a good next step. But, how do homeless young adults access the financial aid and other supports they desperately need to be successful?

Far from being a dry read (or listen as the case may be), this adaptation details the life of the new Rector at St Matthews – Hilary Laurens.
His grandfather was a much-loved Bishop and Hilary faces many challenges and conflicts in his new role, as well as adapting to being a married man, and dealing with the various 'personalities' of his congregation.
Set in the 1930s, there are many dark clouds looming and Hilary is forced to make some difficult choices.

Why do you have to include the Jacobian for every coordinate system, but the Cartesian?
In physics and engineering it is common to convert between different coordinate systems - spherical, polar, Cartesian, e.t.c. - depending on the problem. Physically, they are all clearly equivalent and it shouldn't matter which one we use.
Nevertheless, when solving problems involving volume or surface integrals, we always have to add the Jacobian matrix to the expression if we are any other coordinate system but Cartesian, just as if we were converting from the Cartesian system.
Take the expression: $$ \iiint_V \nabla \cdot \textbf{u}\ dV $$
It seems intuitive that we should be able to go from this expression and express $V$, $\textbf{u}$, $\nabla$, and $dV$ in whatever coordinate system we want at this point, but plugging the spherical coordinates straight into the expression yields the wrong answer - one has to add the Jacobian just as if the first step was expressing everything in Cartesians and converting to polars. Why do Cartesians get such special treatment? My expectation would be because the eigenvectors are constant throughout space, but I would appreciate a more thorough explanation.

$\begingroup$ I admit you have kinda lost me, (an easy thing to do), but when you go back to the derivation of Gauss, Stokes laws, etc, what coordinate system do they use in explaining it, in the early stages of introduction to these equations? $\endgroup$ – user175021 Nov 12 '17 at 14:06
$\begingroup$ For Cartesian coordinates you have to include the Jacobian too -- it just happens to be trivial. $\endgroup$ – AccidentalFourierTransform Nov 12 '17 at 15:50
$\begingroup$ Why do Cartesians get such special treatment? The volume element is defined as $dV=\prod_k dx_k$. It's the definition. $\endgroup$ – StephenG Nov 14 '17 at 1:09
Because our world is (locally) Euclidean.
In an Euclidean world straight lines are favored and we subconsciously defined things like distance, area and volume using straight lines. If the real object we are studding is not made of straight lines, we cut it into small pieces, until we get approximately straight lines and then we sum up these small pieces to get the "real" value.
In an Euclidean world there is a direct correlation between Cartesian coordinates and lengths in the real world. For example, a circle in Cartesian coordinates is a circle in the real world; but a circle in the real world is a rectangle in polar coordinates.
Consider a surface bounded by the following curves in our world: $y=a_0 /x$, $y=a_1 /x$, $y=b_0 x$, $y=b_1 x$
In a world where their vertical lines correspond to a curve defined as $u=xy$ in ours and horizontal lines correspond to the curves $v=y/x$, this complex figure becomes simply a square with sides $a_1-a_0$ and $b_1-b_0$ and area $A=(a_1-a_0)(b_1-b_0) \, u.a$.
In our world it is not that simple and the area bounded by those lines is definitely not that. Now the Jacobian is the tool we use to convert the value of a measurement from one coordinate system to the value that would be obtained if the measurement were performed in Cartesian coordinates. It represents the infinitesimal relation between lengths of an object when drawing in one system to the other. Infinitesimal lengths can always be considered straight lines.
It is important to clarify that Cartesian coordinates is not the only "straight" coordinate system. Any system formed by non orthogonal straight lines can be considered. The thing is that we would consider those systems as sheered and then not necessarily natural.
PS: The Jacobian is always there. We just define $|J|=1$ for a Cartesian coordinate system because the results from this system have direct relation with our world. Some alien species living in a world with a very strong gravitational field (next to a black hole for example ;-), would have defined their $|J|=1$ to a different system.
Using $$I_c= \int \int dx \, dy$$ As the double integral in Cartesian coordinates, and $$I_p= \int \int dϱ \, dθ$$ As the double integral in polar coordinates.
Because of the correspondence of Cartesian coordinates and the "real world", one could notice, either experimentally or by logic (using methods like squaring the circle and cutting the circle) that $I_c$ gives the same face value as the area bounded by the limiting curves. Therefore, one can define the area as $$A= \int \int \, dA=\int \int dx \, dy$$ And the element of area $$dA=dx \, dy$$ However, $I_p$ gives a different value (in this case the perimeter of the circle). From this point onwards, 2 things can be done;
1. Define $│J│=1$ in the starting system
With this definition, applying the Jacobian when passing from the original system to the next will allow you to get the same numeric value, but double integrals will have all sort of meaning, depending on the meaning it has on the starting system, making it a little ambiguous at minimum.
2. Define $│J│=1$ in the Cartesian system
With this definition, all systems will have not only the same numeric value, but all double integrals will result in area of the surface bounded by the curves.
The same for volume integrals.

$\begingroup$ Are you suggesting we can't use spherical coordinates in a Cartesian world? $\endgroup$ – ZeroTheHero Nov 12 '17 at 15:48
$\begingroup$ @ZeroTheHero No. What I'm saying is that, if you use polar coordinates, you must be aware to use the "length converter" (Jacobian) otherwise the end result will not match to the "real world". $\endgroup$ – J. Manuel Nov 12 '17 at 15:57
The Jacobian is the multiple integral analogue of the u-substitution method. For example, if you want to make the substitution $x = 2u$ in an integral you are effectively introducing a change of coordinates from $x$ to $u$ and you have to put $dx = 2 \space du$ in place of of $dx$. Similarly for the multidimensional case you make the replacement.
$$dxdy= |J(x(u,v),y(u,v))| dudv$$
Without a change of variables theres no need. You could use the Jacobian if you wanted by considering yourself to be making the substitution $$x(x,y) = x,\space y(x,y)=y$$ but the Jacobian would just be the identity matrix which
has a determinant of $1$ giving you $dxdy=dxdy$
Similarly, in the one variable case the substitution $x=x$ gives $dx=dx$
If your integral was initially in, say, polar coordinates you would have to use the Jacobian to convert back to Euclidean. Euclidean coordinates don't get a pass, its just that generally you switch from Euclidean coordinates to spherical/polar etc instead of the other way around.

Because the infinitesimal surface element and the infinitesimal volume element, that in Cartesian coordinates are $\:\mathrm{dS}=\mathrm dx\mathrm dy\:$ and $\:\mathrm{dV}=\mathrm dx\mathrm dy\mathrm dz\:$, in general curvilinear coordinates are not $\:\mathrm{dS}=\mathrm du\mathrm dv\:$ and $\:\mathrm{dV}=\mathrm du\mathrm dv\mathrm dw$. The Jacobians are the ''correction'' coefficients. See Figure 01 for example.
Also, an everywhere non-zero Jacobian is a necessary and sufficient condition for the inversibility of coordinates transformations.
So, if you want to find the double integral in Figure 02 : \begin{equation} A=\iint\limits_{\mathrm S} f\mathrm {dS} \tag{01} \end{equation} then by Cartesian coordinates \begin{equation} A=\iint\limits_{\mathrm S} f \!\left(x,y\right)\mathrm dx\mathrm dy \tag{02} \end{equation} since in these coordinates \begin{equation} \mathrm {dS}=\mathrm dx\mathrm dy \tag{03} \end{equation} There is no need of a Jacobian here.
But if it's convenient to use other curvilinear in general coordinates $\left(u,v\right)$, then under the coordinate transformation : \begin{equation} x=x\left(u,v\right)\,, \quad y=y\left(u,v\right) \tag{04} \end{equation} we have \begin{equation} \mathrm {d S}=\:\underbrace{\left\vert \! \left(\dfrac{\partial \mathbf r}{\partial u}\mathrm d u\right)\!\! \boldsymbol{\times}\!\!\left( \dfrac{\partial \mathbf r}{\partial v}\mathrm d v \right)\!\right\vert}_{\textbf{algebraic magnitude}} \!=\underbrace{\left\vert \dfrac{\partial \mathbf r}{\partial u}\boldsymbol{\times}\dfrac{\partial \mathbf r}{\partial v}\right\vert}_{\textbf{algeb. magn.}}\,\mathrm d u\,\mathrm dv = \underbrace{ \begin{vmatrix} \dfrac{\partial x}{\partial u} & \dfrac{\partial y}{\partial u}\\ \dfrac{\partial x}{\partial v} & \dfrac{\partial y}{\partial v} \end{vmatrix}}_{\textbf{Jacobian}} \mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=\dfrac{\partial \left(x,y\right)}{\partial \left(u,v\right)}\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv \tag{05} \end{equation} Also we have \begin{equation} g \left(u,v \right)=f\left[x\left(u,v\right),y\left(u,v\right)\right] \tag{06} \end{equation} Inserting expressions (05) and (06) in (01) we have \begin{equation} A=\iint\limits_{\mathrm S}g\left(u,v\right)\dfrac{\partial \left(x,y\right)}{\partial \left(u,v\right)}\mathrm du\mathrm dv=\iint\limits_{\mathrm S}g\left(u,v\right)\left(\dfrac{\partial x}{\partial u}\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial v}-\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial u}\dfrac{\partial x}{\partial v}\right)\mathrm du\mathrm dv \tag{07} \end{equation} We need a Jacobian here.

$\begingroup$ By saying: "Because the infinitesimal surface element and the infinitesimal volume element, that in Cartesian coordinates are $dS=dxdy$ and $dV=dxdydz$", I think that you are just rephrasing the OP's question, since you are admitting that for Cartesian coordinates $│J│=1$. What the OP is asking is why Cartesian coordinates have such a privilege in first place, why it is so special. $\endgroup$ – J. Manuel Nov 14 '17 at 7:52
$\begingroup$ @J. Manuel : I apologize, maybe you must see my answer as a failure. $\endgroup$ – Frobenius Nov 14 '17 at 9:31
$\begingroup$ Sorry for any misunderstanding. I see your answer as a valid one. Perhaps you should elaborate on why $│J│=1$ for Cartesian coordinates, and the rest of your answer will hold perfectly. $\endgroup$ – J. Manuel Nov 14 '17 at 12:11
The original question: "Why do you have to include the Jacobian for every coordinate system, but the Cartesian?"
Perhaps you should elaborate on why │J│=1 for Cartesian coordinates, and the rest of your answer will hold perfectly.
Why does some one not write $1 x = 2$ and instead of $x = 2$? This is the same question.
Most people define extent of a rectangular object in $\Bbb{R}^n$ in a Cartesian sense as the product of the $\Bbb{R}^1$ extents. In that case of the transformation of an Cartesian original n-dimensional space to Cartesian $\Bbb{R}^n$ is the identity matrix, which is the matrix equivalent of $1$ for coordinate transformations. But, why bother with putting a 1 in your formulas?
$$ \int _{\varphi _1}^{\varphi _2}\int _{\theta _1}^{\theta _2}\int _{\tau _1}^{\tau _2}f((\left( \begin{array}{ccc} \tau & \theta & \varphi \\ \end{array} \right)\cdot\left( \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ \end{array} \right))^\mathsf{T})d\tau d\theta d\varphi $$ where $f$ is a real valued function of a row 3-dimensional vector. But, like not writing the $1$ in the algebra equation, why not just use $f(\left( \begin{array}{ccc} \tau & \theta & \varphi \\ \end{array} \right))$? All the matrix multiplication is doing is relabeling $\left(\begin{array}{ccc} \tau & \theta & \varphi \\ \end{array} \right)$ as $\left(\begin{array}{ccc} x & y & z \\ \end{array}\right)$.
