Where is the Calkin family from?
You can see how Calkin families moved over time by selecting different census years. The Calkin family name was found in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Scotland between 1840 and 1920. The most Calkin families were found in the USA in 1880. In 1911 there were 24 Calkin families living in Nova Scotia. This was about 53% of all the recorded Calkin's in Canada. Nova Scotia had the highest population of Calkin families in 1911.
Use census records and voter lists to see where families with the Calkin surname lived. Within census records, you can often find information like name of household members, ages, birthplaces, residences, and occupations.
What did your Calkin ancestors do for a living?
In 1881, the most common Calkin occupation in Canada was Merchant. 33% of Calkin's were Merchants. A less common occupation for the Calkin family was Teacher. Merchant, Servant and Store Clerk were the top 3 reported jobs worked by Calkin.
Census records can tell you a lot of little known facts about your Calkin ancestors, such as occupation. Occupation can tell you about your ancestor's social and economic status.
What Calkin family records will you find?
There are 3,000 census records available for the last name Calkin. Like a window into their day-to-day life, Calkin census records can tell you where and how your ancestors worked, their level of education, veteran status, and more.
There are 642 immigration records available for the last name Calkin. Passenger lists are your ticket to knowing when your ancestors arrived in Canada, and how they made the journey - from the ship name to ports of arrival and departure.
There are 1,000 military records available for the last name Calkin. For the veterans among your Calkin ancestors, military collections provide insights into where and when they served, and even physical descriptions.
You've only scratched the surface of Calkin family history.
What is the average Calkin lifespan?
Between 1960 and 2004, in the United States, Calkin life expectancy was at its lowest point in 1980, and highest in 1997. The average life expectancy for Calkin in 1960 was 51, and 76 in 2004.
An unusually short lifespan might indicate that your Calkin ancestors lived in harsh conditions. A short lifespan might also indicate health problems that were once prevalent in your family. The SSDI is a searchable database of more than 70 million names. You can find birthdates, death dates, addresses and more.


A decent API can be a wonderful thing, allowing a host of innovative products to build up around a core service, and as such add value to the core service. Everyone's a winner! If you want an example you need look no further than Twitter. Would Twitter really have taken off to the extent it did without numerous developers building around it? Probably not.
My initial joy at an official API soon turned to annoyance. Rather than allowing me to play with the data and seeing what I can do with it, I am expected to fill in a form beforehand explaining who I am and what I want to do! There is nothing wrong with asking me to sign up and with an email address, but should my phone number be mandatory?
And what if I don't have an IP address? What if I want to create an application for my mobile, that will sit on my mobile and have a different IP address every time I use it?And even if I did know what I was planning to do with the data, the idea that I would have any idea what the audience would be is just stupid. When creating an API don't try and gather all the information you can, just gather the information you absolutely need. And if you need too much, improve your API so you don't have to ask for so much! Every form and field that you insist on including in the sign-up will dissuade numerous developers from innovating around your services. Everyone loses.
Do people tweet because they are bored, or does tweeting make them bored?
As I have mentioned in this blog before, I am very easily distracted. Especially when it comes to the working day, during which I will probably check my emails a thousand times, and Twitter twice as often (see my old personal circle of distraction here). I am by no means alone in this, around the world at any one time millions of people are on Twitter and Facebook [how old fashioned] as they try to distract themselves from the tedium of work. But rather than making their working hours more enjoyable, is it actually making the day less enjoyable? Probably.
Last week I was reading Dan Ariely's The Upside of Irrationality, an enjoyable behavioural economics book (albeit not quite as enjoyable as his earlier Predictably Irrational). In it Dan spends some time talking about adaption; how we can get used to our personal situation over time. For instance, if we win the lottery, we may initially be thrilled, but we quickly get used to it over time.
The process of adaption is equally true for dealing with less pleasant experiences, such as work. If we have a large piece of work to complete that is not particularly interesting, if we work on it solidly we will adapt to it over time, but if we constantly break off from the work we will never fully adapt to the situation and will actually make the work harder for ourselves.
Today we find ourselves in a situation where many of us are constantly breaking off from our jobs, momentary boredom sees us instantly firing up the browser window and surfing the web. Whilst I can hardly imagine a world where I wouldn't have that opportunity to do so, I'm not convinced that it's made the my working day any better, especially when I have specific tasks to do. Before the heady days of academia I had some of the world's worst jobs – 12 hour shifts taking the shells off of hard-boiled eggs being a particular highlight – and whilst the task of writing an academic paper is far more enjoyable than that of trussing chickens (another of my many jobs), the fact that I constantly break off from the task means it doesn't always feel like it.
Does my writing differ according the audience?
Number of words per sentence - generally speaking longer sentances may be considered more difficult to understand.
Characters per word – longer words are considered more difficult.
Number of passive sentence – passive sentaces are thought to inhibit the flow of reading and make it more difficult.
Flesch reading ease – a readability test where the higher the number the simpler it is thought to be. [0.0 - 30.0: best understood by university graduates].
With the academic articles being more difficult to read than the professional articles, and the blog posts being the easiest to read of all.
Whilst I may not think that there are vast differences in the writing style or vocabulary I use in different forums, reducing it to a few crude numbers would certainly suggest that there are. The only unexpected result was that there were more words per sentance within my blog posts than within my professional magazine articles.
It is also comforting to see that the numbers go in the right direction. If I had discovered that my blog posts were more turgid than my academic articles, it would have probably been time to hang up my keyboard.
The main conclusion is that I am far too easily distracted from work, and if I continue I will probably end up in the poorhouse….although it might be interesting to do a webometric study combining readability with impact factor….
After locking myself out of my flat on Tuesday in a moment of stupidity I've spent the last two nights staying in a couple of Wolverhampton's cheaper hotels. As such I though I would give them a quick review. It's a bit off topic, even for me, but as everyone interested in webometrics eventually comes to Wolverhampton to see Guru Mike, I thought I'd write the post anyway.
Anyone looking for a cheap hotel in Wolverhampton is likely to quickly come across the Britannia Hotel and the Connaught Hotel. Both are large hotels offering double rooms for £39 a night, and as I had two nights until my girlfriend's return I thought I would compare the two.
The Room – I was given a double room overlooking the main road, which meant it was quite noisy, even on a Tuesday night. It had seen better days and there was a noticeable mark on the carpet where the radiator had leaked in the distant past, but it was clean and comfortable. The usual tea, coffee, kettle, and a couple of biscuits.
The Bathroom – The usual soaps, shower gels, shower caps, and a shoeshine kit, and about a million towels.
The TV – Just the five terrestrial channels (and Sky News if memory serves me correctly).
Breakfast – Booking online meant that breakfast was included in the price. It was a buffet breakfast including all the cooked breakfast essentials – even the all important black pudding.
Bars & Restaurant – As well as its own restaurant the hotel has its own bar – The Wave Bar. The Britannia web site claims that it's a "regular meeting place for theatre-goers", but I am doubtful. It's a very cheap bar, and the clientele tend to be locals who are there all day long. Luckily as the hotel is in the centre of town there are plenty of other places to get a drink.
Service - The staff were polite and efficient.
The Room – I was given a room at the back of the hotel, but it was by no means quiet, lots of noise from the lift. The room had a stupidly sized bed, as it was in fact two single beds pushed together. Nonetheless clean and tidy, and not as rundown as the Britannia.
The Bathroom – Shower gel – like it or lump it – which is very annoying as I'm a soap man and was in the mood to shine my shoes.
The TV – The main five, plus half a dozen others, including Sky 1, Sky Sports News, and Nickelodeon.
Breakfast – To have breakfast included was £45 (£52 for two people). I don't know if it was just because it was quiet, but rather than a cooked breakfast buffet you had to order it. Full English consisted of 2 sausages, bacon, fried egg, beans, and half a tomato; which is pretty rubbish as it costs £9.95 if its not included in your room price -although you can have as much cereal and toast as you want. Unfortunately breakfast was accompanied by GMTV on a giant screen.
Bars and Restaurant – The hotel seems addicted to have ITV1 on televisions in public rooms, and my evening meal was accompanied by Emmerdale in the hotel bar. Both the beer and the food were expensive for a cheap hotel: £3.20 for a pint of Carling, and £9.95 for a burger and chips. However, by being a bit further out of town they have a captive audience. In the end I paid £10.05 for a cheese sandwich, some onion rings, and a pint of Carling. It definitely wasn't worth the money, and despite asking me twice whether I wanted the onion rings and sandwich at the same time, they came about 10minutes apart.
Service – Bloody awful from first to last. Despite booking through the hotel's web site, and giving my card details at the time, they had no record of my booking or paying; this means I now have to keep an eye on my bank account for the next couple of days to see if they've charged me twice. Ordering both drinks and breakfast involved a lot of standing around waiting for staff to appear, or else trying to hunt them down. Even checking out the hotel was annoying, as the receptionist failed to even bother looking up from the computer screen as I handed her the key and she grunted a response. And for some reason the hotel has decided to save on signs, so if you want to know where anything is bar, restaurant, lift, or toilet, you have to ask.
Next time I lock myself out I'll be choosing the Britannia for a cheap Wolverhampton hotel. It may be more rundown than the Connaught, but I preferred the overall experience. Those who prefer their hotels 'all fur coat no knickers' will prefer the Connaught - their addiction to ITV1 says it all.
I have not updated my Webometric Thoughts for almost 3 months, the reason being that Blogger stopped allowing the FTP, thanks Google. As such I was stuck with a blog that I couldn't update…at which point it pretty much stopped being a blog. Anyway, I have finally managed to get around to installing WordPress and importing all 471 of the old blog posts.
I still have to pick a theme, and then add all the side bar junk that is essential to any blog, but hopefully it will be a visual delight sooner rather than later. There will, without a doubt be a few teething problems as old and new URLs fail to match-up, and other issues I have yet to think of, but hopefully those problems will be solved in the next couple of days.


Have you been feeling frazzled lately – tired – stretched – depleted? Would you rather be on holiday, somewhere, far away from it all, so you didn't need to answer another call or another text, or feel like you're needed to resolve yet another issue? Well, my friend, I have the answer. Take a week off from the grind, turn your phone off (even for part of the day) and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, every day. Really. It will revitalise you. And you can do it, pretty much for free – depending on where you choose to go.
Whether you hang out in your garden, at the park, by the river, by the sea, up a mountain, or wherever the beauty of nature abounds, just get yourself there. And even if you have to take noisy kids with you – you can still enjoy the healing power of nature. Open your eyes and see, I mean really see. Open your heart and feel life. There is no greater remedy for a congested or stagnant mind than by simply experiencing the beauty of nature.
Nature is a source of pleasure, beauty, life, truth, awe, inspiration and belonging. It ignites our imagination. It makes our heart feel grateful. It brings our mind into the moment, quite naturally. And when we're in the moment, we aren't worrying about what has been, or what might be, we just are. We aren't internalising our personal suffering, or the world's suffering, we're simply sensing our environment and appreciating what we're directly experiencing of it.
When we become engaged with nature, we are not fretting over what someone may be thinking of us, and what is yet to be attained, rather we are in the simple act of observing what has immediately captured our curiosity. Therefore, a surrendering occurs of one aspect of ourselves, in favour of another. We go from the over-thinking individual to the experiencer who recognises they are part of something greater – which enlivens us.
Aside from providing us and other creatures with seemingly endless resources and possibilities, from which we are nourished and supported, nature is intrinsically beautiful. We are instinctively attracted to its mathematical structures. It is a provider of visual pleasure and equilibrium – it's colours, lines, shapes, patterns and forms are a constant source of delight and inspiration. Also, there exists in nature a vast spectrum of sounds, scents, textures and tastes which are similarly captivating.
Nowadays, so much of what surrounds us is man-made, like furniture, walls, ceilings, doors, vehicles, machinery and devices – which are often stagnant or deteriorating. Nature is never stagnant – it is alive. It may deteriorate but it renews itself. A scene is never still, nor is the light on a scene, or the wind, even if you return to it at the same time every day. It is forever changing, and so we can enjoy observing the beauty of life in countless cycles.
There is a divinely ordered intelligence to nature which can have us in awe. And though in our minds we may separate ourselves from nature, believing we are in ownership of it, we aren't. We are elaborately intertwined in it's vast and meticulous network. Recognising that we belong to nature, to its seasons and rhythms, we may then observe ourselves in every aspect of its story – life, death, and resurrection.
Nature arouses our sense of wonder because it exhibits endless possibilities. If you're stuck for ideas, go for a walk in nature. If you're feeling stuck in your life, go for lots of walks in nature. You will become unstuck. It's impossible not to have new ideas when immersed in nature. Many of the greatest writers and thinkers gained their inspiration and insight from regular walks through woods or by the sea. When we take the time to appreciate reflections of the divine in nature, we are rewarded by the stimulation of our own creativity.
Above all else, nature makes us realise that this moment is unique and a gift. There's no better gift to give to yourself than time spent in nature. By growing a garden at home, you can feel inspired every time you look out your window. If there's no space for a garden, get a pot – plant it with your very favourite flowers. Take a dog for a walk in a park with beautiful, big trees. Go bushwalking or hiking or meander along a shore. Watch a sunset by the surf. Look up at the sky, frequently. Feel your intimate interconnectedness with the whole of creation, and be restored!
I would love to hear about your experiences in nature, and what gifts nature brings to you. If you're in need of a break from the daily routine, perhaps stepping out into nature is what you're really seeking. Give it a try. Let me know if it gives you a feeling of wellness.

Supplementary material from "The neuroecology of the water-to-land transition and the evolution of the vertebrate brain"
Malcolm Angus MacIver (Creator)
Barbara L. Finlay (Creator)
The water-to-land transition in vertebrate evolution offers an unusual opportunity to consider computational affordances of a new ecology for the brain. All sensory modalities are changed, particularly a greatly enlarged visual sensorium due to air versus water as a medium, and expanded by mobile eyes and neck. The multiplication of limbs, as evolved to exploit aspects of life on land, is a comparable computational challenge. As the total mass of living organisms on land is a hundredfold larger than the mass underwater, computational improvements promise great rewards. In water, the midbrain tectum coordinates approach/avoid decisions, contextualized by water flow and by the animal's body state and learning. On land, the relative motions of sensory surfaces and effectors must be resolved, adding on computational architectures from the dorsal pallium, such as the parietal cortex. For the large-brained and long-living denizens of land, making the right decision when the wrong one means death may be the basis of planning, which allows animals to learn from hypothetical experience before enactment. Integration of value-weighted, memorized panoramas in basal ganglia/frontal cortex circuitry, with allocentric cognitive maps of the hippocampus and its associated cortices becomes a cognitive habit-to-plan transition as substantial as the change in ecology.This article is part of the theme issue 'Systems neuroscience through the lens of evolutionary theory'.

Inom talteori är Oppermanns förmodan en förmodan om primtalens fördelning. Den är nära relaterad till men starkare än Legendres förmodan, Andricas förmodan och Brocards förmodan. Den är uppkallad efter den danska matematikern Ludvig Oppermann, som framlade den 1882.

Förmodan
Förmodan säger att för alla heltal x > 1 finns det åtminstone ett primtal mellan
 x(x - 1) och x2,
och åtminstone ett primtal mellan
 x2 och x(x + 1).
Den kan även skrivas med hjälp av primtalsfunktionen som
 π(x2 - x) < π(x2) < π(x2 + x) för x > 1.

Q: Hibernate Code Generator does not generate anything I am trying to develop a Wicket-based web application using Hibernate at the model layer with a Postgres DB.
I created all my tables manually and I am trying to reverse-engineer the code from the tables using the Hibernate code generator tool downloaded from http://www.hibernate.org.
I created hibernate.cfg.xml and hibernate.reveng.xml. Also, I am able to browse the tables from Hibernate's perspective.
When I run the code generator with exporter settings containing the options to generate Domain as well as hbm files on a specified package, it generates nothing.
Environment used:
Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo)
Postgres 8.3-604
Wicket 1.3 workbench

A: The resolution is to setup your database with database and table names in lowercase, then autogeneration will work.
Also, when I faced with the same problem, I noticed that when you create database or table by pgAdmin III using query (not by wizards) then all your letters in Uppercase will become automatically in Lowercase.

A: All,
I have worked-around/resolved the problem myself.
The actual problem was with the Hibernate code generator tool [HibernateTools-3.2.4.GA-R200905070146-H18.zip] that does not generate hbm.xml and pojo's by reverse engg method for PostgreSQL DB.
I believe the tool does not have reverse engg support for postgresql DB.
Workaround/resolution
I changed my DB to MySql and i was able to generate the hbm.xml and pojo. I have tried the same with Eclipse 3.5 Galileo and Eclipse Europa versions.
Tips
I have found a way kind of to understand whether the tool has got support for the DB that you use.
Once a console configuration is created for your application, go to hibernate perspective and expand the DB. if you are able to view the columns of the DB then the tool has got the support to generate the code.
The reason being is that, for postgreSQL it was not listing the column of the tables when browsed from hibernate perspective.
Thanks for all those who viewed my post.

Google To Distinguish Poor Landing Page Quality From Policy Violations

Poor landing page quality scores have been a bit of a mystery for marketers using Google AdWords. A 1/10 score could mean the landing page was poor, by Google's standards, or it could mean that it, or the site as a whole, somehow violated the company's policies.
Today, the company has introduced changes to help people identify policy violations from mere poor quality.
If a page or the site violates Google's policies, the status column on the keywords interface will show "Site Suspended." A quality score is no longer calculated or shown, given the ads aren't being displayed. Such a notice can warn a marketer that he needs to investigate Google's site and landing page policies, to rectify the problem. For example, Google bans sites and landing pages that aren't functioning properly, or those which are unclear about their billing practices.
Sites and landing pages that represent more serious violations of policies could result in the suspension of the entire account.

Amid a frenetic environment of mobile-phone price wars and a spate of musical chairs among its top telecoms CEOs, Kenya has emerged as the East African leader in ICT innovation, bidding to emulate the US with its new Silicon Savanna in Konza. There is never a dull moment in the East African region's telecommunications sector.
Though Kenya was the last country in East Africa to embrace ICT's newer communication channels, it has now firmly taken the lead on ICT innovations, earning it the brand name Silicon Savanna, thanks to its award-winning revolutionary and ground-breaking mobile phone applications such as M-Pesa (mobile money transfer), M-Kesho (mobile bank account) and E-conservation (mobile tracking of elephants).
The region's Information and Communications technology (ICT) sector, which has been hailed by economists and development technocrats as one of the major growth catalysts in the region, has been full of excitement in the last 24 months. Frenetic activity has dominated the ICT sector since 2000, ranging from innovations and the roll-out of new products to the change of shareholders, owners and even CEOs.
In 2000, Kenyan business magnate Naushad Merali teamed up with French telecoms giant Vivendi to set up Kencell, a cellular phone operator in Kenya. Kencell and Safaricom were the two operators that ruled Kenya's mobile-phone roost. In 2004, Kencell was bought by Sudanese Mo Ibrahim, who changed its name to Celtel.
Kuwait's Zain Telecom later bought out the Celtel Group and a new name came in – Zain. In 2010, Indian telecoms giant Bharti Airtel bought out Zain for $8.3bn and rebranded it to Airtel. As they made their foray into the Kenyan market, Airtel's CEO Manoj Kholi revealed that his company was going to spend $150m to enhance its presence in Kenya and stratify its operations, saying Airtel was in Kenya for the long haul. Kholi's remarks were followed by action and Airtel became the game changer. Despite altering its name and ownership four times in 11 years, Airtel shook the Kenyan telecoms market, long dominated by Safaricom, and forced the major telecoms operators in Kenya – Safaricom and Orange – to plead with the government for protection from the onslaught it unleashed.
That Airtel spoilt Safaricom's party is an open secret. Soon after it acquired Zain and was busy settling in Kenya, Airtel wasted no time in slashing its calling rates, seeking to capture the mass market and attract new subscribers. This price reduction strategy caught all other 'comfort zone' operators unawares.
Safaricom's new CEO, Bob Collymore, who took over from Michael Joseph, found himself in uncharted seas as Airtel 'destabilised' the market while he was still taking his place as Joseph's successor. Collymore termed Airtel's move as "unsustainable" and "morally reprehensible".
Subscribers across the four major Kenyan cellular networks (Safaricom, Yu, Airtel and Orange) didn't see it that way – instead they celebrated because of the ripple effects of Airtel's largesse: Airtel's move saw Safaricom and all other operators also lowering their calling rates.
In February this year, Collymore pleaded with the Parliamentary Committee on Energy, Communications and Information, stating that cheaper calling rates interfered with telecoms infrastructure reinvestment and revenue streams, and were likely to slow down industry expansion.
At the time, industry watchers saw Collymore's move as lobbying parliament to put a ceiling on more price cuts. Kenya's Mobile Termination Rate (MTR) of three US cents was said to be lowest in the continent.
As the Parliamentary Committee mulled over its next move, Collymore went ahead and in March 2010 reorganised Safaricom's decade-old management structure, which had been put in place by Joseph in readiness to battle Airtel's aggression.
With Parliament still dragging its feet on the price wars, President Mwai Kibaki intervened. On 18th May, after a meeting with telecoms operators, President Kibaki ordered an immediate stop to the further reduction of termination charges, to the relief of Safaricom and Orange, the two firms opposed to Airtel's price war.
In September 2011, with the price war affecting the operators' purse strings, Airtel managing director Rene Meza left to join Vodacom Tanzania, the leading wireless telecommunications network in Tanzania, with an 8m subscriber base. Meza, whose experience straddles Paraguay, Pakistan and Kenya, is no stranger to Tanzania as he had previously been the boss of Millicom (Tigo).
Meza's departure revealed a quiet restructuring process within Airtel, as Shivan Bhargava took over under the new title of chief operating officer. In March, Essar Telecom, whose brand Yu has made an impact among the youth, also replaced their CEO Atul Chaturvedi, whose position was taken by Madhur Taneja from Warid Telecom in Uganda.
By March 2011, owing to the price war stirred up by Airtel, Safaricom had lost some $20m on previous year's earnings. Its market share dropped from 79.5% to 69.9%.
The country's telecoms regulator, the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK), in its 4th Quarter Sector Statistical Report released in early October 2011, showed that Kenya had 25.27m mobile phone subscribers by June this year. Safaricom still maintained its market leadership with 17.35m subscribers, up from 16.71m in September 2010. It was followed by Airtel, with 3.61m subscribers, compared to 2.98m a year ago. Orange and Yu followed with 2.73m and 1.58m subscribers respectively. Revenue from mobile services was $1.04bn. The CCK figures also revealed that even compared to other operators such as Vodacom Tanzania, MTN Uganda and MTN Rwanda, Safaricom was still leading the region's telecoms service provider.
"Overall teledensity increased to 65.15% from 65.13% in March 2011, with mobile services accounting for 64.2% … The total number of internet subscriptions rose to 4.25m from 3.84m recorded in the previous period, registering a 10.9% increase. Mobile internet subscriptions continued to dominate the total internet subscriptions and accounted for 98% of the total. The estimated number of internet users rose by 13.6% from 11.03m in the last period to 12.53m during the period under review. The increase in the internet subscriptions and users may be attributed to reduced internet charges," the CCK reckoned.
Stung by Airtel's price war, and now cushioned by the President Kibaki's directive in early October 2011, Safaricom moved fast to shore up its profits by announcing an increase in calling tariffs. In response, Airtel has stuck to its position and announced that it was not revising its own calling charges.
"Airtel's objective is to increase mobile penetration and usage through affordability and network expansion in rural areas for voice and internet services, to offer Kenyans freedom to achieve their goals and to drive GDP growth," its CEO Bhargava said.
Even as the country moves fast in setting up Africa's Silicon Savanna in Konza, 60km from Nairobi, there is a dull moment in the telecoms sector of East Africa's largest economy.


Hubbers found that their online tool, designed for managing large software projects, works for any collaborative process.
You may not know about GitHub if you're not a programmer. To those in the software business, GitHub or rival products like Atlassian Jira, are essential for dividing up coding tasks among team members and tracking what everyone is working on. Inside the San Francisco company, its 600 employees, nicknamed Hubbers, have found other uses for their online service—managing not only code but any collaborative projects, such as legal documents or HR policies. "We're going to treat legal issues like bugs in the code," says Julio Avalos, GitHub's general counsel and chief business officer.
To get a sense of GitHub, start by thinking of Google Docs—an online repository for text where people can make changes and leave comments. But software projects are a lot harder to manage. They can take months or years to develop, run to thousands or millions of lines of code, and have dozens or more collaborators. So toss in project management capabilities like those in Trello, which allows people to define individual tasks that go into developing the software, track progress, and assign who is responsible for them. Then add a messaging system like Slack so that workers can chat about the projects and flag specific people by username (with an "@" symbol) to get their attention. One unique aspect of GitHub is the pull request. It allows someone to alert other collaborators of new code they have proposed and get feedback before a decision to add it to the main project.
Many open-source software projects are hosted on GitHub (a service it offers them for free). The company thinks of its internal operations as open-source for employees, allowing anyone to see and contribute (through a pull request) to projects such as its first employee handbook in 2016 (a seemingly late effort, given claims of harassment by employee Julie Ann Horvath in 2014 that forced founder and CEO Tom Preston-Werner to resign).
The HR department started from a simple document called Hubber Expectations and (in the open-source spirit) from the employee handbook for game developer Valve Software. "We just built it in there through our community, through putting it on GitHub and getting feedback," from employees, says Merritt Anderson, the head of HR. GitHub now plans to make its handbook open source so that other companies can build upon it.
GitHub also used its own platform to revamp the company's parental leave policy, upping the time period from 16 to 20 weeks. Employees provided input through GitHub, such as pointing out more generous policies that Netflix and Pinterest were offering. Using what's called a pull request, the HR team could alert employees of changes made to the policy or questions answered so that everyone had a chance to review them.
In our conversations with GitHub employees, we got many tips on how to use the platform better, be it for managing software development or any other projects. Here are a few that can be used for coding projects or adapted for other uses.
Emojis can easily get out of hand, and ambiguous. GitHub provides just six to express the most useful reactions, such as smile, frown, thumbs up, and thumbs down for pull requests.
You can sort by the volume of emoji-based reactions to see what issues have gotten the most engagement.
3) Use Projects (normally for tracking a coding endeavor) to create a to-do list, sorted by deadlines, for any type of duties.
Blame view allows you to click on an entry in the project's version history and see what the code looked like before that change was made. It saves you from having to dig through the file's full history to find the part you are interested in.


Never let it be said that we're afraid to tackle the serious subjects here on Project Mom. We like a balance between fun and educational content and today – we're erring on the side of the educational. Dr Lisa Shulman is here to lay out the developmental milestones that babies and toddlers are facing and how parents can help a child they think that may be developmentally challenged.

The Yellowstone of Europe
When we mention the word conservation, most thoughts tend to go towards tropical rainforests or wide savannas. We think of tigers and elephants, rhinos and orangutans.
Safe to say, Europe isn't often the first place to spring to mind when we discuss conservation. Still, that doesn't mean Europe's flora and fauna aren't just as much as in need of protection as other places in the world.
That's why The European Nature Trust (TENT) and Foundation Conservation Carpathia (FCC) are working together to build a new national park in the Fagaras Mountains region of Romania. They hope that the wilderness reserve will be Europe's largest forest national park.
Why Romania?
To be fair, Romania probably isn't the first place many people would think of for a huge national park. But actually, the country holds exactly the right ecological conditions to make for an excellent example of the diversity of wildlife Europe has to offer.
The country still has over six million hectares of forests, a huge percentage of that is virgin forest. That is to say, it is forest which has been untouched from its primeval state and unaffected by human activity.
There are more than 3,700 individual species of flora that can be found in the Carpathian mountains. In addition, lynx, wolves, and bears roam the woodland and are relatively common.
From a tourism point of view, the country also makes perfect sense. The capital of Romania, Bucharest is within a three-hour flight of every single capital city in Europe. That's closer than Yellowstone is to Washington DC.
With 500 million people living in the European Union alone, that's a huge potential reach for such a national park.
Equally, Romania is beginning to grow a reputation for its untouched wilderness. In 2016, travel guide Lonely Planet picked out the Transylvania region of Romania as its number one region to visit.
Street protests in the country in 2015 and 2017 have also helped put Romania on the map.
What are people doing to make this happen?
In 2004, the Romanian Government began to sell formerly nationalised land in the Carpathians mountains back to the public.
Communities and landowner associations gained most of the newly available land, but the smaller parcels of less than 50 hectares each were bought by private buyers.
Since then, logging companies have acquired a huge proportion of these privately owned parcels. Many of the forests therein were completed cleared by logging companies.
With the land empty of forests, FCC managed to persuade some of the logging companies to sell. As it stands the FCC now owns 21,000 hectares of forests and alpine meadows in the south-central Carpathian mountains.
It has protected these forests with various applications for governmental protection. In addition, 65,000 hectares of forest are protected and maintained by FCC's forest rangers. In the future, they hope to buy more parcels of land.
Not only has FCC managed to protect existing forests, its also helped restore some of the forest ravaged by loggers. So far, 1.5 million saplings have been planted in clear-cut areas to help restore them to their natural ways and help prevent soil erosion.
The commission has also helped combat poor forest management methods. The human intervention means spruce trees now dominate Carpathian forests. FCC tries to re-wild these areas by replanting beech, elm, sycamore, fir, and rowan.
FCC has further plans to conduct more in-depth surveys of animal populations.
Meanwhile, TENT is supporting the campaign with funds and promotion. It recently shared Untamed Romania, a feature-length documentary about Romanian biodiversity with a wide audience in the country, to drum up interest and support in the project.
Ecotourism in action
There's already evidence that this kind of ecotourism works in practice.
The UK is home to Alladale Wilderness Reserve in Scotland. The project, brainchild of philanthropist Paul Lister, spans 23,000 acres in the Scottish highlands.
Lister has worked on the project since buying the site back in 2003. Since then, he and his team have planted around 800,000 trees in Alladale and much more besides.
He tells Verdict:
"We restored our peatlands (there were drains: we blocked them), we brought back red squirrels. We've educated thousands of local school kids on the environment with outward bound courses."
"We host Bear Grylls Survival Academy. We've got about four eco-lodges running on renewable energy."
Alladale has become an epicentre for ecotourism. It is evidence that rewilding works and brings in tourists.
The future for wilderness reserves like Alladale
Ultimately, what Alladale has achieved so far is only a tiny part of Lister's expansive plans. He ultimately hopes to fence off Alladale completely and turn it into a wildlife reserve like those found in Kenya and Botswana. His dream is to introduce wolves into the area:
"If you look at statistics at Yellowstone, there's $40 million in extra revenue attributed to wolf reintroduction, you'll soon work out that's what's needed."
"Not only is it good for the local community and jobs and tourism, it's also good for the environment. Wolves help move deer around. We did some research with wild boar some years ago with Oxford University. We kind of established that wild boar are great as a management tool for moving soil and helping regeneration."
"When it comes to wolves I don't support a general reintroduction. I just don't think that'd be the right thing to do when it comes to a country with so much livestock and people and so many roads and railways and motorways."
"I think what we need right now is a South African model, to keep animals in a large reserve. It's a compromise, of course, it's not Mother Nature but it's better than nothing."
"I think, basically, biodiversity is the biggest driver. With biodiversity comes tourism. These people would like to get into nature and they want to see it, whether that's a butterfly or a raptor. The more vegetation you have in there, the more hosts and the flora can grow species of insects and birds and even small mammals."
What will the national park look like in the end?
Ultimately, the goal is to create a 200,000 hectare area of ecological conservation in Europe equivalent to the likes of Yellowstone or Yosemite in America.
Currently, there are 300 national parks in Europe, but none are as universally recognised as Yellowstone in the US or the Serengeti in Tanzania.
Although the proposed national park would be about half the size of Europe's current largest national park (Schleswig-Holsteinisches Wattenmeer in Germany) that park is mostly sea, and inaccessible. The Fagaras Mountains park would be much more accessible than that park, easily allowing it to make a huge impact on the locality.
The area already has an outstanding collection of native fauna including bears, lynx, wolves, red deer, chamois (a European mountain goat), boar, and golden eagles. The only animal in need of reintroduction to the area is the European bison. There are plans to have the first group of these animals placed into the national park by 2019.
There's also a huge potential for eco-tourism in the area.
To that end, the FCC is developing the facilities necessary to bring tourists to the region. These include a ranger station, an information centre, wildlife hides and lodges, education and outreach centres, and campgrounds for tourists.
The project is a huge undertaking, of course.
Still, with the right support this project stands a better chance than most of protecting one of Europe's hidden treasures.

Llandogo - a delight on the Wye
Fred Hando takes us to Llandogo - a delight on the Wye
This week, Fred Hando again takes us on one of his 'Rambles in Gwent' as he goes to Llandogo.
TO Odoceus, Bishop of Llandaff in the sixth century, we owe the strange name of one of the exquisite Wye Valley hamlets —'Llandogo'.
The saintly Bishop had his dwelling and served his God on the banks of the mountain stream which cascades in fantastic leaps from the moorland down the steep hillside to the village.
Einion, King of Glewyssig, and his huntsmen had followed a stag for many hours through the wild woods. The hounds were about to leap on the stag when the weary beast dragged its body on to the cloak of Odoceus and collapsed, whereupon nothing would induce the hounds to attack it.
When the King discovered that the cloak belonged to the Bishop he prayed for pardon, bestowed the stag on Odoceus, and presented to Llandaff the whole of the ground over which he had hunted that day, from the Red Pool to the Wye.
We recognise the Red Pool as the virtuous Well of Trellech, but we know not where the Bishop dwelt, and the ancient church of Llandogo was demolished and rebuilt in the bleak middle years of the last century.
On a sunny November afternoon we halted at The Sloop Inn at Llandogo, I and walked around the old house. The original entrance and frontage were towards the river, and on this wall we found the inscription 'P W E 1707'.
This reminded us that the patrons of The Sloop must have arrived by water, as no roads were laid down in the valley until the early years of the nineteenth century.
The name of the inn recalled the busy days when, at the head of the tide, Llandogo was the terminus of a busy trade route to Bristol.
So famous were the Llandogo trows (or sloops) that one of Bristol's grand old inns, the Llandoger Trow (where Long John Silver served before setting out for 'Treasure Island') was named after such a craft, and a trow appears on the seal of the Borough of Monmouth.
Barges from Monmouth, Ross, and even Hereford, brought their goods to the wharves at Llandogo and Brockweir, and many a tale is still told of the feuds between the barge-owners on the one hand, and the salmon fishers and millers on the other, who found that the construction of weirs was a quick road to fortune.
The Sloop inn, we noticed with surprise, was built over the swiftly-flowing brook. "Can this water have come down from the waterfall?" asked Robert.
And when I assured him, he commanded with seven-year-old impudence, that we should discover the waterfall. We took the good winding road up the hill —two miles long — in short stages.
Ever and anon, through and over the honey-hued larch forest, we stopped to take the views. They were incredibly beautiful in the November sunshine —those trees, rocks, cottages and the blue river.
But where was the waterfall? Suddenly and shrilly, Robert (who has not read "Westerns" for nought) shouted; "I can see it shooting out of that gulch!" And against the skyline were Cleddon Shoots, cascades of molten silver against the shadowed cliff.
On again, up again, until we reached the heath, where the rich russet was relieved by the plantations of conifer. Along one of these plantations some genius had set an edging of crimson-berried bushes.
We turned right, and then right again, past Cleddon Hall, where Bertrand Russell was born, and soon afterwards we pulled up sharp to save ourselves from descending a forest path into Llandogo.
There, on the right, was the first cascade, and we were able to imagine this water leaping and leaping down the brown hillside, darting under The Sloop, and silvering the tawny flood-water of the Wye. Then we collected Robert, who, with his comrade Paul, was endeavouring to dam Cleddon Shoots at their peak with a huge boulder.

ok, i beg you, get the best headphones you can find and plug them into whatever e-device you are currently using to read my blog (thanks for reading, by the way!) and click play below.
allow yourself to be transported to a fast-moving train riding along the california coastline. the year is 1966 and you are running from your helplessness blues.


This year's chosen color by the Pantone Color Matching System is Coral. This system which has been in place since 1963 is nothing less than the most important system in the whole world when it comes to hues and color palettes. Why are these palettes important? Because they help maintain the harmony of anything that involves the use of color; whether it's a publicity of the print industry or web, a flower arrangement, the decoration of a room, or the cloth we put on every morning, matching colors is important.
Some time after the creation of the system, since the year 2000 Pantone started selecting a color yearly with the purpose of setting a trend. Since ancient times trends have always existed and even though there are many people that don't like them or don't follow them because they associate it with doing what the wrest does or a lack of individuality there is a deep purpose to this. Trends or fashion help organize or group society's ideas and therefore promote creativity and creative thinking. This is because through organization and the grouping of similarities, an effective creative process takes place and the best ideas are born.
With that said, in Florpaxi we love the organization of creativity and innovation and would love to share with you a mood board we made, featuring Pantone's color of the year, Coral which you can find within our varieties Amsterdam and of course the Coral Reef. As you can see in the color palette above, there are different tones within the same color that work harmoniously in a monochromatic mélange. It can't be denied that when they are put together the result is rather pleasing to the eye.
We hope this mood board gets the creative juices flowing; and if you are a professional in flower arrangements or simply someone that enjoys this form of art as a hobby, we would love it if you share your floral creations with us.

ABC does not yet have eyes on potential replacements for T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach, despite speculation the 'GMA3' anchors are on the way out … TMZ has learned.
Sources at the network tell us the main focus for honchos is still completing a full investigation into whether or not T.J. and Amy's relationship violated company protocols. They're also looking into additional reports of affairs Holmes might have had while employed at 'GMA' — including one with an intern — and any potential issues there.
While some reports have speculated DeMarco Morgan — who has been at the 'GMA 3′ desk during T.J. and Amy's leave — has already been tapped to fill Holmes' spot permanently, our network sources say that just isn't the case, and he isn't currently being "tested" to take over the position.
The same is true for Rhiannon Ally, Gio Benitez and Stephanie Ramos — who have all covered the show's anchor desk in Amy and T.J.'s absence.
We're told if and when ABC looks to fill spots, it'll be after the investigation has totally wrapped and Amy and T.J.'s fates are decided.
TMZ broke the story … both T.J. and Amy have lawyered up in recent weeks — Amy with Andrew Brettler and Holmes with Eric George — to possibly take legal action against ABC.
We're told if the anchors are shown the door, their attorneys are ready to file suit, and raise the issue of race — asking the network, "Has ABC ever used the morals or conduct clause to fire or discipline 2 consenting adults at equal levels when both were white?"
Of course, we've seen T.J. and Amy out and about living their lives as a couple since getting pulled off the air … spending the holidays together and even hanging out the day before he filed to divorce his estranged wife.

I like to think of editing as bridging the gap between what the writer wants to communicate and what the reader actually understands. If the writing has been translated or written in a language other than the writer's native one, that gap is typically wider. That's why an editor of translated or non-native English has a few extra points – technical and stylistic – to look out for.
The first aspects to be aware of are the technical ones arising from the differences between the source language of the translation or the writer's best language, as the case may be, and English. An obvious example is false friends – words that look very similar in the two languages but have different meanings. For example, several European languages have a word similar to 'eventually' that, instead of meaning 'at some point in the distant future', means 'possibly'.
At the next level up, the sentence level, it helps to know how the grammar of the writer's language differs from English grammar. For example, Italian rarely uses subject pronouns and Russian has no articles, so writers from those language backgrounds may have trouble with these issues. I have an Italian client whose English is great, but she occasionally misses the 'there' in a sentence like 'There are many reasons.' Not surprising, since its purpose is purely grammatical rather than meaningful – but it can be confusing if you don't expect it (especially when the sentence is more complicated than that).
I see this type of editing as a kind of word puzzle, especially if I know the writer's native language at least a little. 'What word could they have mistranslated into this one?' or 'How would this sentence likely have been written?' German – which I can confidently say I know at least a little – is particularly fun for this, as it has some word order rules entirely different from English ones.
A professional translator will know how to avoid these technical traps, but there are stylistic issues to be aware of that apply to translations as well as non-native writing. One of these is words that are not so much false friends as fair-weather friends. These have quite similar denotations but a different connotation or tone. For example, a Portuguese speaker might use 'foment' to describe creating something positive, but that would sound odd to English ears. Or a French speaker may use a word that is more recherché than the tone of the text calls for, because the French cognate is much less obscure.
It's a good idea to clarify the connotations are correct. For example, I might say 'This sounds harsh (or flippant, or negative) – is it meant to?' Of course this is true of all editing, but I think it's more likely that a non-native writer will not realise how they are coming across.
On a more general level, different languages have different ideas of style. My grammar teacher put it this way: 'English likes verbs, French likes nouns.' So a sentence that sounds good in French could sound quite stuffy in English, simply because it has too many abstract nouns that could easily have been verbs. Or a writer who speaks Arabic, which tends to be more flowery than English, might in English come across as excessively wordy.
The last thing to think about – and arguably the most important – is the author's voice. If the author's English isn't great or is non-existent, what we want is not quite their own voice, but more like an idealised version of it. I speak French and German regularly, but I know I'm not as smart in French or as funny in German as I am in English. I don't edit fiction, and I'm sure there are additional considerations for those who do, but every piece of writing expresses something about the writer – whether they want to show themselves to be knowledgeable, or approachable, or empathic, or witty, or all of the above. A good editor can help with this.

This extraordinary project has been made possible because Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr have agreed to tell their combined story, especially for this book. Together with Yoko Ono Lennon, they have also made available the full transcripts (including all the outtakes) of the television and video series The Beatles Anthology. Through painstaking compilation of sources worldwide, John Lennon's words are equally represented in this remarkable volume. Furthermore, The Beatles have opened their personal and management archives specifically for this project, allowing the unprecedented release of photographs which they took along their ride to fame, as well as fascinating documents and memorabilia from their homes and offices.
Each page is brimming with personal stories and rare vintage images. Snapshots from their family collections take us back to the days when John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Richard Starkey were just boys growing up in Liverpool. They talk in turn about those early years and how they came to join the band that would make them known around the world as John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Then, weaving back and forth, they tell the astonishing story of life as The Beatles: the first rough gigs, the phenomenon of their rise to fame, the musical and social change of their heyday, all the way through to their breakup. From the time Ringo tried to take this drum kit home on the bus to their much-anticipated audience with Elvis, from the making of the Sgt. Pepper album to their last photo session together at John's house, The Beatles Anthology is a once-in-a-lifetime collection of The Beatles' own memories.
Interwoven with these are the recollections of such associates as road manager Neil Aspinall, producer George Martin, and spokesman Derek Taylor. And included in the vast array of photographs are materials from both Apple and EMI, who also opened their archives for this project. This, indeed, is the inside story, providing a wealth of previously unpublished material in both word and image.
Created with their full cooperation, The Beatles Anthology is, in effect, The Beatles' autobiography. Like their music has been a part of so many of our lives, it's warm, frank, funny, poignant and bold. At last, here is The Beatles' own story.
Size: 9-7/8 x 13-3/8

This blog post highlights a unique anthology slated for release in 2017 and spearheaded by Victoria Griffin. It involves stories regarding brain injuries/concussions. The anthology, "Flooded", will contain selected works from authors who have experienced or observed brain injuries, or who have written about them in a way that makes the experience tangible to a reader.
As a physician, I see the devastating effects of brain injuries in my patients. From teenagers who are no longer allowed to play sports and who now have cognitive challenges, to adults whose brain injury has literally changed their personality, to veterans who have suffered TBI's (traumatic brain injuries) and struggle to explain why they are disabled when they bear no visible scars – brain injuries can be complex to manage, long-lasting, and the effects can change from day to day.
One of the most profound concussion cases I witnessed was in medical school when an internal medicine physician in a rural practice had what anyone would think was a simple concussion. Dr. Smith (name changed) was pulling into his driveway, had his seatbelt off, and another vehicle hit the back of his car. He had a brief loss of consciousness and a headache.
Three months later, Dr. Smith still couldn't function at anywhere close to previous work capacity. His short- and long-term memory suffered. He couldn't recall patients he had cared for over the past 20 years!
Take a look at the information from Victoria Griffin on her upcoming anthology. This material is relevant and touches on concepts that have affected all of us to some extent. As writers, this upcoming work may stretch our boundaries of empathy and the ability to convey the human condition. As readers, we can gain understanding of what loved ones around us might have endured. And as humans, any piece of art that makes us feel and grow, that makes us have more compassion toward others, and gets us to appreciate how fragile is the ability to create our own thoughts…? Then it's worth the investment of time, effort and support.
Let me know if you all have stories about head injuries, concussions, TBI's that you'd like to share. Or better yet, put pen to paper and send those stories to Victoria. Your voices need to be heard!
