"Rehabilitation of Compression Steel Members Using FRP Pipes Filled wit" by Xiangdong Liu, Antonio Nanni et al.
This paper presents the experimental and analytical evaluation of the feasibility of a proposed fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) retrofit method to strengthen corroded steel columns. This method consists of two steps: (1) wrapping the corroded steel column with an FRP jacket, and (2) filling the jacket with expansive light-weight concrete. Seven steel columns were tested in the laboratory including five strengthened columns with the proposed technique. The first two were used as control units where one was a virgin shape and the second was notched in the center zone to simulate the loss of section due to corrosion. The remaining five were all notched, and confined with FRP composite pipes within the simulated corroded zone and subsequently filled with light-weight concrete. All specimens were axially loaded to failure while strain and displacement readings were measured to demonstrate the feasibility of this repair concept. Test results show that the proposed FRP retrofit method for steel columns can be successfully applied. Furthermore, an analytical model was developed that can predict the load capacity of the FRP retrofitted steel column.

Do you wish to write about The Eldest Daughter Effect and/or the authors Wies Enthoven and Lisette Schuitemaker? Please find pictures, press release and contacts of the PR team below.
Using the Grounded Theory research method, these authors set out to discover whatever they could about first born women. They ended up with five common traits (responsible, dutiful, hands on, thoughtful, and caring) shared by eldest daughters. Both eldest daughters themselves, they found that the insight gained from their discoveries was extremely helpful. They are sharing the paradigm which they developed from their research with readers, hoping that the information will prove useful to them as well. More than just broad strokes, Schuitemaker and Enthoven get down to the nitty gritty, covering topics like the "Functional Eldest Daughter", the first four years, the danger of wanting to be perfect, unrealistically high expectations of the first born, effects of undivided attention, why eldest daughters tend to be smarter, "Dethronement", "Impostor Syndrome", the undervalued role of the father, and the inseparable connection to those the eldest grew up with. I am an eldest daughter and I found this book to be both enlightening and liberating. Written as much for siblings of the eldest as for the eldest themselves, this is a highly detailed analysis of this particular family dynamic. It offers exercises so the reader can self-evaluate in order to apply the information to themselves. Clearly written and relevant, it's a valuable resource for parents as well as adult eldest daughters and their confused siblings.

FBA Announces Application Period for 2023 Community Grant Program
The Florida Beverage Association (FBA) today announced the opening of the application period for its Community Grant Program, a competitive grant funding initiative focused on advancing environmental sustainability and health and wellness programs across Florida.
Holiday Time—a Season Filled with Beverage Options
The Holidays are here!
As you prepare to host your special guests during the season, remember to include tasty beverage choices that will have everyone at your holiday party refreshed.
New Look, Continuing Commitment
The Florida Beverage Association and our outstanding partners hope each of you has enjoyed a fun-filled summer. It's a season filled with endless possibilities and fresh starts, and FBA is excited to unveil a new look of our own as we continue to serve the Sunshine State.
Friends of Cape Florida, Inc. is the 2022 FBA Community Grant Recipient
Key Biscayne, Fla. – In partnership with the American Beverage Foundation for a Healthy America (ABFHA), the Florida Beverage Association (FBA) announced that Friends of Cape Florida, Inc. is its 2022 FBA Community Grant recipient.
When Summer Fun Can't Wait—Hydrate!
Summer is here, and we're all ready to enjoy the fun that the season offers, whether on the beach, at the park, or in our own backyards. It's an important time for friends and family—and an equally important time to stay sufficiently hydrated. The great news is that America's leading beverage companies are dedicated to offering you more high-quality, sugar-free options than ever in an effort to keep you happy and hydrated this summer.
Keep it Simple—Keep Hydrated!
What's not to love about the summertime? From beaches to barbeques, from swimming to surfing, from cruisin' to camping out, summer is the time of year to get out of doors and enjoy the beauty of the natural world.
How Do You Achieve Balance?
When it comes to living a healthy life, balance is key. In addition to work-life balance, balancing what you eat, drink, and do is just as essential. Of course, not everybody requires the same type of food, drink or number of calories.
So, how do you achieve balance? By getting clear about what you're consuming. Get to know how the Florida Beverage Association, in partnership with the American Beverage Association, is helping to achieve balanced lifestyles by getting clear on calories.
Why Is Balance Important?
Benefits of Recycling and Its Overall Impact
When it comes to creating a greener, cleaner, and healthier earth, recycling plays a large role. Recycling helps lower greenhouse gas emissions and water pollutants while improving air quality and saving energy by preserving natural resources. So, how does recycling impact our quality of life, and what can you do to contribute?
FBA Wants Every Bottle Back
Did you know that US landfills comprise over 80% recyclable material, with only 12% of plastic being reused or recycled per year?
The Florida Beverage Association and its members are committed to a cleaner planet for all. That's why America's leading beverage companies are working together to reduce our industry's plastic footprint through the 'Every Bottle Back' initiative. 'Every Bottle Back' will ensure that our plastic bottles are collected and remade into new bottles, as intended, meaning less new plastic in the environment.
"Many people don't know that our bottles are carefully designed to be 100% recyclable, including the cap," explains FBA President and CEO Elizabeth DeWitt. "This initiative supports our ongoing commitment to protect the environment and gets us one step closer to reducing the carbon footprint and creating a more circular economy for recyclables."
FBA President Elizabeth DeWitt is Appointed as Chair of the Florida Recycling Partnership Foundation
The Florida Beverage Association (FBA) is thrilled to announce that President and CEO Elizabeth DeWitt has recently been appointed as Chair of the Florida Recycling Partnership Foundation (FRP).
"We are so excited about Elizabeth taking on this role," says Keyna Cory, Executive Director of the FRP Foundation. "Her work with FBA and FRP will further our mission of educating businesses and community members on the importance of recycling." As a nonprofit foundation that is focused primarily on developing and adopting sustainable business practices, the Florida Recycling Partnership allows FBA to connect with diverse organizations from across the state on projects that serve community members while also encouraging environmental sustainability.
Miami Mayor Suarez Inaugurated as President of U.S. Conference of Mayors
On Jan. 3, 2022, Miami Mayor Francis X. Suarez was inaugurated as the 80th President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM), and we could not be more thrilled for Mayor Suarez to take on this new role.
"Mayor Suarez has always been a friend to the beverage industry," explained Elizabeth DeWitt, President and CEO of the Florida Beverage Association. "His commitment to the residents of Miami on issues such as health and environmental sustainability is evident through his support of community-based programs in Miami. We are excited to have him as a partner."
As President of USCM, Mayor Suarez will focus on a wide variety of issues ranging from poverty to housing to climate change, and where the beverage industry is concerned, his work will directly impact our efforts to build healthy and sustainable communities throughout the country.
The Florida Beverage Association Community Grant Program Returns for its 7th Year
The Florida Beverage Association (FBA) is proud to announce that its annual Community Grant Program is back for its seventh consecutive year. Each year, FBA invites local groups throughout the State of Florida to apply for the grant, furthering our commitment to the communities where we live, work, and play.
As the leading organization representing non-alcoholic beverage producers, marketers, bottlers, and distributors throughout Florida, FBA focuses a great deal on environmental sustainability, health and wellness through a variety of campaigns, including Every Bottle Back, the Clear on Calories Initiative, and the Balance Calories initiative. This grant provides the chance for other like-minded organizations to receive funding for a wide range of programs.
It's Time to Recycle Right
Recycling is an important initiative to support overall sustainability goals. However, we all know that for recycling to be effective, it must be done correctly.
That is just one of the reasons why the Florida Beverage Association recently awarded a $25,000 community grant to the Orange County Public School (OCPS) system. Now in its sixth year, our community grant program has contributed over $250,000 to support programs and organizations across the State that promote Environmental Sustainability and Balanced Lifestyles.
The grant that OCPS received will fund an education campaign to help students more clearly understand how to recycle correctly, which is necessary to the success of the school system's overall sustainability goals.

Watches & Jewellery / Jewellery
How Spencer Matthews went from bad boy to businessman
By Anna Prendergast
Best known for his self-fulfilled role as the loveable rogue on Made in Chelsea, Spencer Matthews has gone from TV personality to entrepreneur with the launch of custom jewellerybusiness Eden Rocks. Co-founded with 'the rock doctor' Neil Duttson, the project officially launched in Novemberat the reopening of Matthews' family hotel in St Barths. We caught up between screen takes to talk diamonds, first-date disasters and martial arts.
How did your new venture, Eden Rocks, come about?
When I was looking for an engagement ring for my now-wife, Vogue [Williams], my best friend Hugo [Taylor] introduced me to Neil Duttson. He took me to a pub in Hatton Garden, Ye Olde Mitre where Snatch (2000) was filmed – it wasn't the red carpet, glass-of-Champagne treatment you might get in a big Bond Street store, but it was so personal that I realised I wanted to work with him on something.

Why did you think the diamond market needed something different?
There's nothing worse than being made to feel like any other client. With us, we take you in as a friend; you're getting a one-off experience and a one-off product, and we can be your go-to diamond guys. Everyone likes feeling like they're getting a steal.
What have you learned about diamonds in the process that surprised you?
Oh, so much. For example, did you know that diamonds are always cold to the touch? And that the most effective way to weigh a diamond is in water?
What advice would you give people getting an engagement ring made?
Start with the centre stone and work around it – it's like a portrait, you'd always start with the face so that everything fits around it.
So, speaking of engagements, where did you go for your first date with Vogue?
We met at ROKA in Mayfair and, I'll be honest, I was still a little drunk from the night before – I'd been out celebrating winning The Jump [a reality TV show in which celebrities master winter sports]. In my usual manner, and probably trying to show off, I ordered loads off the menu – and then realised I didn't have my card. Vogue had to pay for everything.
Where else do you like to let your friends pick up the bill?
If I could eat at Le Petit Maison every day, I would. They do incredible flavours. I also love the Gaucho group, ROKA and Zuma.
Where's your go-to for Christmas gifts in London?
I always go into Patrick Mavros on the Fulham Road – I'm not big on shopping, but it's just a great store. I'm wearing one of his belts and have one of the elephant bracelets.
Me too, the silver one.
Shall we start a club? Does this mean I can be on the cover now?
Only if we can come to the recently-reopened Eden Rock St Barths…
Oh yes! The reopening has been so exciting, because I spent a lot of time there as a kid, watching clients with these amazing watches and now we can offer them a completely unique jewellery experience, too.
Tell us about your watch collection.
I find watches and timekeeping fascinating. No one else in my family gets it, but the Swiss craftsmanship is just something else – the automatic movements, the detail. I tend to wear a Rolex or an Audemars Piguet, and I'd rather have a collection of watches in my safe than money in the bank.
How do you keep fit in London, especially during party season?
I don't drink anymore, I really like running, and I used to box – but realised quite quickly I wasn't much good at it. Turning up to meetings with a split lip isn't ideal, and I'm competitive, so I wanted to be able to progress. I'm doing a lot of Jiu Jitsu at the moment with the Roger Gracie Academy, and I like the idea that if I get better, there's an end result – I can move towards gaining a black belt.
Savile Row or Spitalfields?
Savile Row – I always go to Tony Lutwyche for tailoring.
City or countryside?
A bit of both – probably more of the country when I'm older.
Cars, classic or new?
I'm not that into my cars. I'd rather ride around on my Triumph Thruxton R.
Hotel or home?
I'm a sucker for great service, but home, always.

If you will be going out of town for a while, the problem of how to water outdoor container plants while you're away may arise. Some plants need to be kept in moist soil in order to grow properly, and may begin to wilt and die after a few days without water. There are two simple ways to keep your plants properly watered while you are on vacation.
Water your plant thoroughly. If the soil is dry, the self-watering systems will not work properly.
Clean out an empty 2- or 3-liter soda bottle. This bottle will become your self-watering system for your potted plant. Use a serrated knife or kitchen shears to remove the bottom of the bottle. Be careful doing this, because the edges can be very sharp. Put duct tape or electrical tape along the cut edge to protect yourself and your plant from being injured.
Turn the bottle upside down and fill the neck of the bottle with potting soil. Fill it loosely; do not pack it tight.
Gently but firmly press the mouth and neck of the bottle into the potting soil in the container. Push the bottle at an angle, so that the mouth of the bottle is pointing toward the roots of your plant.
Fill the upside down bottle with water. Wait a few minutes, to allow the water to drain down, then top off the water level.
Move the plant's container to the shadiest place in the yard that the plant can tolerate. If the plant must be in full sun, leave it in full sun, but if it can withstand partial sun or filtered light, move it to a shady area of your yard. This will slow the evaporation of the water in the bottle.
Consider investing in a self-watering plant container if you will be traveling for an extended period, or if you travel frequently (see Resources). These containers have a reservoir that you can fill with water. The plant's roots "drink" the water on an as-needed basis.
Water the plant completely, making sure that the soil is very moist. Self-watering containers do not work correctly if the soil is dry to begin with.
Fill the reservoir with water. Self-watering containers differ in design and instructions, so please follow the directions included with your self-watering container.
Move the plant's container to the lowest amount of light it can tolerate. Again, this is to decrease the amount of water lost to evaporation.
Ask a friend or neighbor to visit your yard and refill the plant's reservoirs to keep a steady supply of water available to your plants if you will be away from home for longer than a 10-14 days.

Abu (right) accepting the IFAC Award.
Something about me: I've lived on four different continents for at least three years including India (Asia), Nigeria (Africa), the state of Iowa in the U.S. (North America) and Switzerland (Europe).
Focus: Dynamics, modeling and control at the nanometer scale.
Nanotechnology was an emerging area when I was starting my PhD. We found that control and system-theoretic concepts can play a key role in addressing some of the challenging problems in the area. That is how I got into this field of research. The multi-disciplinary nature of the research as well as the strong experimental component makes it particularly attractive.
If I have to predict the future, I see great potential for a memory element to serve simultaneously as both memory and logic, or even as component of a non-von-Neumann neuromorphic computing hardware.
Career Advice: The current multi-disciplinary nature of research demands a diverse background. For example, during my studies I focused my attentions in math, physics, systems theory and engineering.
What's New: Abu was recently awarded the International Federation of Automatic Control's Young Researcher Award for 2013.
The award is presented triennially to a researcher who is 40 years or younger (on the first of March of the year of the award), who has an established a history of participation in and contributions to IFAC mechatronic systems activities, and who has demonstrated outstanding research contributions in mechatronics, either of a fundamental or applied nature.

Doctors Need a New Skill Set for This Opioid Abuse Treatment
Karen Shakerdge
In a big hotel conference room near New York's Times Square, six doctors huddle around a greasy piece of raw pork. They watch as addiction medicine specialist Michael Frost delicately marks the meat, incises it and implants four match-sized rods.
"If you can do it well on the pork, you can easily do it on the person," Frost tells his audience.
Frost consults for Braeburn Pharmaceuticals, the company behind the newly FDA-approved treatment Probuphine, and is teaching doctors how to use it. They are learning to implant it in pork so they can later implant it in patients' arms.
Although addiction specialists welcome Probuphine, which delivers a constant dose of the drug buprenorphine over six months, at this early stage it's complicated for physicians to add it to their repertoire. Because physicians who treat addiction don't necessarily have experience with surgery or access to sterile spaces, some are having to learn a new skill and develop new systems.
Probuphine is unlike any other addiction treatment on the market. It promises to be life-changing for people already stable in recovery using medication-assisted treatment, who would otherwise need a daily dose of a similar drug to stay free of cravings and withdrawal pains.
Patients using Probuphine were 14 percent more likely to stay opioid-free compared to those using a daily sublingual version of buprenophine, according to a
"They don't have to be dependent on taking something every day. It takes the choice out of that," said Ella Leers, a doctor who treats substance abuse at the Carnegie Hill Institute in Manhattan.
The FDA approved Probuphine under the condition that physicians are trained and tested before implanting or even prescribing the treatment. There are three kinds of certification: implanter, prescriber or both. If doctors can't perform the implanting themselves, they need to coordinate with another doctor who can.
To date, over 1,800 healthcare practitioners have been certified — 27 have implanted dozens of patients, according to a representative for Braeburn Pharmaceuticals, Probuphine's maker.
Gloria Baciewicz, chief of addiction psychiatry at the University of Rochester Medical Center, said using the new treatment will take some adjustments. But, she added, there need to be as many effective treatments as possible for opioid use disorder.
"Now with Probuphine, we have to take it up to a whole different level because we have to have either agreements with implanters or a room where we can implant. We have to get the equipment. There will be a lot more to do," she said. Her team was already planning on moving to another space, which will have the facilities they need to conduct minor surgery.
Prescribing Probuphine may also call for a new approach to the counseling and behavioral therapy that is typically recommended for those on medication-assisted treatment.
"If you're implanting something that can be there for six months, you want to make sure that the patients are still coming in to get the other types of support that they can use because of their addiction issues," said Leers.
There are also questions about insurance coverage. Billing codes are still being established. For now, doctors need to buy the Probuphine kits that run almost $5,000 themselves, and then bill patients or insurance companies.
Braeburn has offered to help physicians verify if an insurance plan would reimburse any of the cost. According to the company, Blue Cross Blue Shield and United Healthcare approved reimbursement for a few patients who have implants. Medicare, Medicaid and the VA have Probuphine in their formulary and are required to cover it if deemed medically necessary.
Despite having to get certified and the other hurdles, many doctors welcome the treatment option. Opioid drug overdoses have reached epidemic levels — roughly 78 Americans die every day from opioid overdose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
So it's good to have a another way to deliver medication-assisted treatment, said Richard Rosenthal, medical director of addiction psychiatry for the Mount Sinai Health System. Rosenthal was one of two principal investigators on a Probuphine clinical trial.
"Everybody is waking up to the fact that we're in the midst of an opioid epidemic," said Rosenthal. "There are actually very few medications for addiction of any kind. Given the addiction treatment system in the United States, most of the treatment that's given is psychosocial. There's very little use of FDA-approved medications."
Probuphine made a difference, said Scott Jernigan of Jacksonville, Fla. He was in recovery for almost a year, taking another medication, when he signed up for a Probuphine clinical trial. He said Probuphine freed him from weekly doctor visits and pharmacy runs, and from fears of how sick he'd feel if he missed a dose or forgot to take his medication.
"[It] meant that I could become more of what my normal is going to be," Jernigan said.
Some specialists recommend patients stay on medication-assisted treatment for years, or even indefinitely. For now, Probuphine can only be prescribed for two runs of six-month use and is meant for people already stable on 8 mg or less of a medication like buprenorphine.
Authors of the JAMA study suggest further investigation of Probuphine to gauge issues often associated with buprenorphine, such as diversion or pediatric exposure.

So following on from last weeks blog, how did we all go with the 7 days of Principle of Presence, not as easy as it sounds is it. Especially as I find personally and with speaking with many people this time of year brings up so so much stuff.
Where is our presence and awareness right now?
In our everyday life it actually does not seem to matter what time of the year it is our minds go from thoughts of the past, the present and the future.
We obsess, scan over, dissect, over what happened in the past or what did not happen to our liking.
We can then become fixated on the future.
How, what, if, when on and on and on. It is totally exhausting as well as equally being unproductive.
This takes away our precious energy on The Now, The Present, what is in front of you now?
It is not an easy concept to adopt continuously being right here right now, being in the present moment. Wow it can all become so hard, so tedious, so well being Human.
I suppose in effect it is a very individual process. We know the tools to adopt to be present but are we always using them? If you do not know the tools then check out my tips. Which I will highlight towards the end.
How is this working for me right now?
When, was the last time, if ever you actually stopped, listened and breathed through a current situation.
People are just allowing themselves to just keep on going keep on ploughing through the never-ending, To Do List. They seem to have allowed themselves to be conditioned in that way.
Do you honestly think checking what a complete stranger is doing on Instagram or Facebook is going to make you feel better, No it is not. That takes you away from your presence your precious energy, life, goals, health, both physical and mental, dreams aspirations.
Check in with facebook and Instagram when you are feeling good and just follow what is inspirational not something that after seeing it makes you feel less than, How does that serve you?
So, to conclude this weeks 7 days of principle I want to ask you to do something, some of you may have done it already and if it is new to you try it for our 7 days of principle.
Anytime, you start thinking about the past, present or future and it leaves you with feelings of dread and despair.
Stop and be still and be completely silent. I mean silent.
If you are at your desk at work just stop what you are doing close your eyes and breathe.
In your lunch break go outside for a walk without your phone.
So many people are afraid of silence, why I ask myself. To me it is stunningly beautiful, I mean after all don't you just get sick of the sound of your own voice in your precious head sometimes.
Give it a rest and bring some stillness, presence and beauty into your life.
After all how do you know if anything is going to work if you don't try it. But as with anything in life it is not a try it once and give up type of scenario, I mean you can't go to the gym once and have your dream body as you can't just go to work once to buy the beautiful dream home you want, it doesn't work that way.
As always such great words to live by Saskia! A great reminder to not get caught up in all that surrounds us but to focus inwards. So looking forward to your 2019 blogs…thank you and wishing you well for a wonderful 2019.

!! OMG, They're Out: CHILDREN !!
» Posted By Bmad On Thursday, September 24, 2009 | category: Revolutionary | 2 comments
What a day! First dancing infants and now gay children getting down together at outrageous preteen homo dance parties in Oklahoma!
Well call me old fashioned, but I'd like to know where the gay identity would be without a healthy dose of childhood shame and secrecy?! In the good old days of 1993, 12-year-old gays like me had to subscribe to the International Male catalog under our sisters' names, meet furtively in AOL chatrooms and get our own homo-asses to the gay pride parade without being chauffeured by our supportive mommies! Oh, and also we didn't have boyfriends in our pre-algebra class.
What's the world coming to?! According to Benoît Denizet-Lewis, the New York Times's most behatted gay correspondent (whom you might remember from his last NYT Mag article about annoying gay husbands), sixth grade is now nothing but a giant rainbowed-out orgy! And NO, OMG Readers, you're not invited!
In his cover story for this weekend's Times mag, Denizet-Lewis chronicles the new gay world of middle school, which sounds a little bit like San Francisco in the '70s, complete with confusing lingo and a cruisy restroom homeroom scene.
A few years ago, when I first heard from educators that young adolescents were coming out of the closet, I visited a middle school in Northern California where three eighth graders (a gay boy named Justin and two heterosexual girls, Alison and Amelia) took me on a tour of the school. They wanted to show me how many students were gay, bisexual or "confused," but they wanted to do it discreetly — or as discreetly as middle-schoolers can…
…[Amelia] suggested that they "come up with some code words on the down low so we can tell you what's up without anyone knowing what we're saying!" (They settled on "paw" for gay and "woof" for bisexual.)
As we walked past the gym, a group of boys came rushing out. Justin pointed to a short, muscular eighth grader in a baseball cap. "Paw!" he said.
Alison looked surprised. "Isn't he a woof?"
"No, he just thinks he's a woof," Justin said.
Amelia looked confused. "What does woof mean again?"
A minute later, they fixed their gaze on a boy sitting against a wall listening to his iPod. "Paw," Alison told me. "I mean woof!"
"Yeah, he'll make out with anyone," Justin confirmed. "Totally bisexual."
"No, he's not!" Amelia said, apparently distraught by the news.
"Oh, stop getting all mad just 'cause you like him," Alison told her. "Everyone knows he's a woof."
After pointing out a handful of girls who are "definitely woofs," Alison turned to me and recalled a recent "lesbian moment" of hers. "I totally had the hots for this girl in 'Jesus Christ Superstar,' " she said with a giggle. "I was, like, 'Whoa, I'm really attracted to you right now!' "
"Jesus was hot in that, too," Justin offered.
As we came to the end of our tour, we approached a handful of boys sitting in a circle on the pavement eating lunch. "Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof!" Justin said, barely able to contain himself. "They're all woofs." One boy heard him and turned to us. "What's a woof?" he asked us…
… I was certainly confused trying to keep track of it all, but Alison told me not to worry. "We can't even keep up with who's gay or bi and who's into who, and we go to school here!" she said."
Bless their woofy (or is it paw-y?) hearts! What are these little sparklers going to do when they're adults and realize that they grew up without shame, stigma, or sexual hangups? They might actually be able to have normal, healthy relationships! How YAWNSIES will that be!?

I live just a few miles from the open arms project here in Tulsa. I think its gr8. oddly enough Tulsa has more gays then you could shake a stick at. (figured I had to add at least one generic hillbilly phrase). I came out at about 16 or 17. that would of been ummmm,, 93-94, anyhoo we also had a group for young mostly not out of the closet gay kids. though we didnt have our own building with dance floor and drag shows. (lucky s.o.b.'s). For the bible belt Tulsas pretty progressive when it comes to acceptance. seeing as there are rednecks galore all about.

Yeah, I think I cought the end of the shame-era for Icelanders. I came out five years ago when I was sixteen – after some horrible four years of confused and selfhating teenhood. Now everyone seems to be coming out around 12 or 13. It's kind of weird.

# Getting started with IBM {{site.data.keyword.blockchain}}
{: #gettingstartedtemplate}
Last updated: 10 November 2016
{: .last-updated}

**ATTENTION:** Before using either the Starter Developer plan (Beta) or the High Security Business Network plan (GA), you must read the technical and support information in [What you need to know](needtoknow.html).

## Offering plans status

The Starter Developer plan is a Beta release, and provides a multi-tenant development environment. The High Security Business Network plan is a GA release. The High Security Business Network plan provides a highly-secure, single-tenant LinuxONE on z environment, with code isolation using [IBM Secure Service Container](etn_ssc.html).

## IBM Blockchain on Bluemix

The {{site.data.keyword.blockchainfull}} service on Bluemix® provides a choice between two four-node development and test blockchain networks, at the click of a button. Rather than creating a blockchain network from scratch, developers can immediately start writing applications and deploying chaincode. The IBM Blockchain on Bluemix service is a peer-to-peer permissioned network, built on top of [Hyperledger Fabric v0.6.1](https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric/tree/v0.6) code from the Linux Foundation's Hyperledger Project.
{:shortdesc}

Blockchain networks are used to securely and efficiently exchange and track digital assets, and to permanently record all transactions on the shared ledger. For details on blockchain, see the [About blockchain](ibmblockchain_overview.html) topic.

## Choose your network plan

You have a choice between two IBM Blockchain on Bluemix plans: the **Starter Developer Network** or the **High Security Business Network**. Use the comparison chart below to choose the right environment for you.

## Launch your network plan

Use the following steps to create and deploy an unbound service instance of your blockchain network.  Your network includes a development environment with validating nodes and a security service, and  enables you to deploy chaincode, view logs and build applications:

1. From the [{{site.data.keyword.blockchain}} Service ](https://console.ng.bluemix.net/catalog/services/blockchain/) page, complete the **Add Service** form  in the right pane:
  - **Space:** Select **dev**.
  - **App:** Select either **Leave unbound**, or to bind your service to one of your Bluemix.org applications, **Select an application**.
  - **Service name:** Enter a unique name or value, such as, **Blockchain Test Net123**.
  - **Credential name:** Leave the default value.
  - **Selected Plan:** Choose **Starter Developer** or **High Security**.
  - Click the **CREATE** button.
2.  You are now on the **Service Dashboard** screen for your new service. From here, you can **Manage** your instance of the network; click **LAUNCH** to use your blockchain monitor.
3.  The blockchain monitor displays network details, live logs, current ledger state, APIs and chaincode templates. Use the dashboard for any of the following functions:
  - Access Discovery and API routes for network peers.
  - View any running chaincode containers.
  - View real-time logs and troubleshoot chaincode.
  - View the world state for the ledger.
  - Access the Swagger UI and interact with your network via the REST API.
  - Deploy one of the three chaincode examples.

In this hour-long musical and theatrical collaboration, award-winning actress Patricia Routledge and international concert pianist Piers Lane tell the extraordinary story of Myra Hess and her famous wartime National Gallery concerts. In Dame Myra's own words — compiled by her great-nephew, composer Nigel Hess — and with piano music by Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Schumann and Chopin, we hear how the 'great adventure' of these 1,600 lunchtime concerts began, and how it continued while bombs rained down on London.
Admission: One Shilling was first performed by Patricia Routledge and Piers Lane as part of the annual Dame Myra Hess day at London's National Gallery, and tells the extraordinary and inspiring story of the famous lunchtime concerts which took place at the Gallery throughout the Second World War. Myra never wrote her autobiography, and her letters and other articles are particularly sparse during those war years, all her time being taken up by playing, practising, and organizing the concerts. The script for this performance has, therefore, been compiled from Myra's press and radio interviews during that time, as well as a few BBC broadcasts where she said a few words before playing. This is Myra in her own words: redoubtable, courageous, inspiring, and always with a twinkle in the eye. I am very proud to call her my great-aunt!


I'd always wanted to live in the UK. It was a strong yearning from a young age, and I felt that if I didn't at least give it a go, then I'd always have a sense of disappointment. My mum is English, but other than that, I had never been to England myself. I only had stories from others and information I'd seen on TV or read to go on. In hindsight, it seems a little crazy to move half way across the world on a gut feeling, but I did it!

Avoiding Uncertainty in Policies and Contracts
July 11, 2011 by Hilary Findlay
We know … writing and reading policy documents and contracts can be boring and tedious. I can attest to this as I have spent the last several months as a member of a team negotiating a collective bargaining agreement at a Canadian University. But these documents are important and they are essential elements of making the business of your sport happen. Policies guide the actions of our members, committees, boards and staff, and contracts are the way that we manage relationships with stakeholders, partners, suppliers, and contractors. So don't turn away from this blog! It is not boring or tedious! It contains important information on how to make your drafting of documents better and your reading of them more discerning. This can only help you to be a better sport manager.
Uncertainty is fact of modern life and we have all adapted to being managers and leaders in uncertain and complex times. But uncertainty in a contract or policy invites additional problems that can be avoided through careful drafting of policy and contract language. Ken Adams, who writes prolifically on legal drafting, says that uncertainty arises from six sources – ambiguity, undue generality, inconsistency, redundancy, conflict and vagueness. Often ambiguity, the first of the six sources, is used as a catch-all for the other five sources of uncertainty. But all six are different, and to lump them together simply obscures the problem and does little to help a manager improve his or her own drafting skills.
Each of these six sources is discussed further below.
Something is ambiguous if it is capable of conveying two or more meanings. Ambiguity can arise from several sources. One is the order in which words and phrases appear. I have become very familiar with this as part of my current role in negotiating the collective bargaining agreement. The process requires that we negotiate by putting forward versions of the proposed contract language for the collective agreement. One word, or even comma, misplaced can change the whole meaning of a contract clause! To illustrate how something so little can have an effect so large, but without going into details, in the year 2000 the status of a very well-known national team athlete with the Canadian Olympic team turned entirely on the improper placement of a two letter word in the Standard Operating Procedures of the Canadian anti-doping policy in effect at that time.
A second source of ambiguity arises where there is not sufficient context given so as to interpret certain words. As noted by Adams, "ambiguity generally passes unnoticed during the drafting process". Think of times you may have thought you made something crystal clear only to have someone see it from a totally different vantage point – one you hadn't considered. Having someone else review documents before release will often catch some of this ambiguity.
Sometimes a clause is drafted so generally that it catches far more than was ever intended. For example, don't refer to "all team members" if you are meaning only athletes and coaches – because "all team members" could include team leaders, managers and support personnel in addition to athletes and coaches.
This almost happened in our negotiations and we had to quickly retract a certain proposal. The generality of our language led to serious consequences when it was applied beyond what we had intended. Our general language caused confusion in the eyes of the membership as to what we had originally intended.
This sort of uncertainty often occurs by describing jurisdictions too broadly (e.g., "all clubs", "anyone with a criminal record", "all team members") or activities too broadly ("conduct while a member of the team"). The key is to ask what problem or situation one is intending to address and limiting language to that.
Inconsistency in drafting comes from employing one word or phrase to convey two different meanings or, the same meaning. We have witnessed many policy disputes as a result of inconsistent use of terms: do "tournament" and "championship" mean the same thing? Do "results" and "performance" and "ranking" mean the same thing? Likely not. As a general rule, it is best to use just a single term, and define it if you can. We also suggest avoiding saying the same thing twice, in different places, in one document. Doing this just invites inconsistency.
Inconsistency also arises where one clause contradicts or creates uncertainty with the meaning of another clause. This usually happens because an existing policy or agreement is amended to address a new or different situation, and in making this amendment no effort was made to be sure the amendment did not have repercussions through the rest of the document. In the extreme, some documents or policies exhibit what we call the "topsy-turvy" effect – there has been so much added to it over time, in little bits and pieces, but these additional provisions have never been reconciled with the rest of the document or with other documents, with the result that the whole thing becomes unbalanced and unworkable. In this case, the only way forward is to start over with a clean slate.
This arises where multiple words are used – usually to 'cover the bases', but often just from following some template or familiar legalese. We have all seen the headings such as "Hold Harmless, Indemnification Agreement". That can be contrasted with "Consent, Hold Harmless, Waiver Agreement." The latter is quite different! Many people drafting documents use phrases that are ubiquitously familiar but for which they really have no understanding. We need to understand what we are writing and what each word means and why it is there.
There is another form of redundancy – if I say it again it will be seen as more important. Perhaps there is some human truth in this, but it is legally risky. In my own collective bargaining negotiations, much to my chagrin but probably quite sensibly for the readers of the eventual collective agreement, there is some redundancy simply to reinforce or remind the reader of certain provisions. It is not economical and is certainly not necessary, but perhaps it is important for the better usage of this extensive document. But this comes with a caution – we have to be absolutely sure there is no ambiguity in our redundancy! You can thus see how uncertainty can creep in …
Conflict occurs when certain provisions in an agreement or policy contradict each other outright. In one party of a Games Team Member Agreement, it will say that disputes about team selection will be dealt with by the National Sport Organization (NSO) while in another part, it says that disputes about team selection will be referred to the Games organization's appeal policy. This is an outright contradiction – although the contradiction could be corrected by addressing some other sources of inconsistency and making some wording changes (perhaps a dispute about team "nomination" is heard by the NSO, while a dispute about team "selection" is heard by the Games organization? …). Another common source of conflict is that an organization has one form of discipline procedure to apply to members generally but a different discipline procedure set out in a team member contract or in a team code of conduct, and no stated direction as to which one takes precedence – so which procedure applies?
VAGUENESS
Vagueness arises whenever a concept provides for the possibility of 'borderline' cases. For example, the term "injured" is vague, "shows leadership" is vague – one cannot say exactly what criterion someone might need to reach to meet to be deemed injured or to show leadership. These are relative terms.
Drafters often use vague terms – they can actually be very useful. As Adams suggests, "drafters invoke vagueness whenever future circumstances are sufficiently uncertain as to render precise terms unworkable." Well, that opens the doors…! There are some legal understandings for some terms: "reasonable notice", "substantial completion" mean something at law, but there is less understanding around many sport-specific, yet vague terms (for example, the selection criteria may be relaxed in extraordinary circumstance… is equipment malfunction an extraordinary circumstance? Death in the family? Attending a wedding? Being ill that particular day?)
There is a notion, at law, of the "reasonable person" against which the term reasonable is judged. This "reasonable person" is viewed from an objective standard. In fact, in interpreting the clause of a "reasonable person", one must adopt the perspective of a reasonable person in the position of that party rather than the actual perspective of the party (and all the baggage it might carry). In fact, the "reasonable person" test can be a very useful one, but people have to understand its objective perspective as opposed to the subjective and somewhat personalized perspective of many who try to implement policies or contract provisions in the sporting world.
I have written this piece because I have been immersed in a process of negotiating a collective bargaining agreement, but over my 20 years with the Sport Law & Strategy Group I have often seen the unfortunate results of careless document drafting. This is the time of year that many summer sport NSOs are developing their criteria for selection to the 2012 Olympic Team. Our suggestion is to be diligent and careful in this process, seek input from others (who are not immersed in it as you are, and who can bring that reasonable person perspective to the task) and before publishing it, consider having it quickly reviewed by someone who has a sharp legal eye for these things.
Ken Adams is the author of A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, an excellent resource for any drafting wonks out there.

Q: How do I push data from a console program over SignalR websockets? I have a website running as an Azure Web App which is configured to use SignalR and the Azure Service Bus scaleout backplane. All working well, and clients connect via the /signalr URL and I can push data from the server to the connected clients.
I also have several console apps which periodically run and output new data. I would also like to push the new data to the web-connected clients.
How can I tie in my non-web applications with SignalR? All the examples I see assume every server in the scaleout cluster are web-facing. Is there some special setup I need to do to have external processes join the SignalR cluster and be able to push data to web-connected clients over the SignalR websocket connection without having to make them web apps as well?

A: There are two options.
First Option
You can connect your "console apps" to the signalR backplane, and these apps will be able to call client's methods with something like
var hub = GlobalHost.ConnectionManager.GetHubContext<MyHub>();
hub.Clients.All.doSomething("blah-blah");

You can use any port for the signalR config but same backplane configuration and same Hubs. You can use Owin for self hosting. Nobody will connect to these console apps.
Disadvantages:
1) Your console applications needs to reference SignalR.SelfHosting and your hubs classes. This is not good from architecture point of view.
2) Your console apps will listen some ports (since they're signalR servers). Theoretically somebody could connect to this hubs and do something. This is not good neither from architecture point of view no from security.
Second Option
You can implement Hub method like "PushSomeDataToClients" and call it from your console apps using SignalR client as mentioned in @bartbje comment.
Pros: no disadvantages from the first option.
Cons: You need to implement some security stuff to prevent anybody outside the system to call this method. SignalR has a lot of stuff to do this, so just google. For example you can create separate Hub for inter-system communications.
Third Option
Interact with web-server apps with another way then SignalR. Probably you're already using something like rabbitMq or any type of service bus. Also you can implement it using separate ApiController at your web-server app. But it seems to be closer to the second option.
Due to me, I would probably choose the third option since it's clean from architecture point of view.

Men can pack a bag in 10 minutes for a weekend away and have everything they'll need. Women, on the other hand (by the way, I'm not trying to be sexist here, so don't crucify me in the comments, please), take a while. And even after an hour of mulling over what they should bring, there's at least one thing they forgot.
I know this because we host tourists in our NYC condo on a regular basis. Part of that responsibility is providing those little things that our lady friends have forgotten so they don't have to spend a bundle when they're already trying to save on their vacation.
Even if you don't host guests day to day, guys, there are still items that you should keep in your home for your female visitors, just in case. What are they? Find out below.
I decided to put a blow dryer in my guest-room closet because, before I purchased it, about six different girls asked if we had one. My husband and I both have short hair, so we definitely don't need a hair dryer. Still I understand the ladies' plight. This is one of those items that's a hassle to travel with because it takes up so much space in the suitcase, and one that can cost a lot of money if you have to go out and buy it on vacation when you only need it for three days. Hair dryers are a standard amenity in most hotels — maybe that's why ladies forget it when they're staying someplace other than a hotel. Either way, it helps to have one on hand.
While some men may use a hair dryer and already have one in their home, I don't know any guys who use a curling iron. But, like the hair dryer, this is a necessity for a lot of women. Curling irons don't cost much, and they're easy to store because they're thin. Also, I would suggest that you purchase a curling iron that turns off automatically. If it's left on for too long and near anything flammable, you could have a disaster. I once came home to a burn mark on my hardwood floor because my guest left her curling iron plugged in, on and on the floor. I'm glad I found it when I did.
A clothes iron is a staple in my house — I iron everything (expect my undies). But some guys don't iron their clothes (although everyone should, unless they're having everything dry cleaned — but that's unnecessarily expensive). I've written about the importance of an iron in many articles, but I think that everyone should look pressed and ready to go, no matter where they're going; freshly pressed clothes have an amazing ability to add self-confidence. Anyway, off my soapbox. If you're hosting a female guest for more than a couple days, she will likely ask for an iron — especially if she plans on going out at night. Have one on hand, along with an ironing board. Maybe you'll even learn to use it, too, to get your money's worth.
I'm not going to get into too much detail here, because I think you know what I'm talking about. I'm not even suggesting that you have to go to the store to purchase these products yourself either, but they're good to have around just in case. The reason I'm including this is because one of my recent guests left a box of her unused tampons in my bathroom cupboard by accident. Before throwing them out, I thought, ya know, somebody else can probably use these if they're in a bind. If I were a woman, I'd hate to discover that I've run out of tampons when I needed them — especially in someone else's house. For them, it's sort of like running out of toilet paper for us — what do we do now? Exactly.

Donald Trump, legitimisation and a new political rhetoric
Andrew S. Ross, Damian J. Rivers
The rise to the US Presidency of Donald Trump has been accompanied by the emergence of a new political rhetoric, one that is most frequently observed on the social media platform Twitter. Although Twitter has been a feature of political campaigns and communication for several years now, the public has not been exposed to the de-professionalised, informal use demonstrated by Trump. The rhetoric of Trump can be said in large part to be influenced by his personal history, and his persona as a celebrity TV star, especially through the informality, insults inclusive of nicknaming, and framing himself as a winner and opponents as losers. Although this new rhetorical style is present in all his discourse on Twitter, we focus this study on Trump's pursuit of legitimacy for his proposed border wall on the US–Mexico border, and do so from a Critical Discourse Analysis perspective by utilising Reyes' (2011) framework for legitimisation in political discourse.

The Good News About Career Wipeouts
Very few people lead charmed lives. Careers, even great ones, almost never shoot straight up and to the right. Instead, they behave a lot like roller coasters, reflecting the ups and downs of eventful lives. And if you take a snapshot at any point in time, the ride may very well look as if it's going to crash.
It happens, and I'm not just talking about hurdles or obstacles, either. I'm talking about colossal flops. Crushing defeat. Devastating loss. It happens, and a lot more often than any of us would like.
Show me a great entrepreneur or business leader, and I'll show you someone who has experienced disaster. It comes with the territory. That's because successful people don't do things halfway. They're not timid. They go all in, take big risks, and fight like hell to win. And sometimes they lose, big time.
Steve Case had quite a wild ride as chief executive of AOL, but his merger with Time Warner was one of the biggest business disasters of all time.
Michael Dell turned a dorm-room business into the world's top PC maker, but the jury is still out on the company's future.
Steve Jobs was famously and publicly fired from Apple, the company he co-founded.
Meg Whitman led eBay to the top of the dot-com boom but lost her bid to become governor of California despite spending $144 million of her own money. And I can't say she's doing much better at the helm of HP.
Intel ex-chief Paul Otellini failed to make a dent in mobile.
Former Microsoft executive Stephen Elop has been anything but a success as CEO of flagging Nokia.
As for me, I failed to turn around a high-tech start-up and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I've bombed more than a few critical presentations and launched products that flopped miserably. I've lost long battles for big customers. And I've even been fired a couple of times from senior executive positions of public companies.
To say those experiences were unpleasant would be a ridiculous understatement. They were gut wrenching. And the public failures were humiliating. They tested my strength, my will and my self-confidence. And each and every time, it took a while to get up, brush myself off, and bounce back, but I always did. I always survived to win or lose another day.
You see, when you're young and that sort of thing happens, you think you've blown it. You think your life is over. You think you'll never come back. But after you live through it a dozen times or so, a pattern emerges; a roller-coaster pattern.
Once you begin to realize the inevitability of that pattern, a funny thing starts to happen. Defeat still hurts, but you know you'll get through it and be better for it. You realize that what they say is true. That what doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
When you have a powerful desire to win but you're no longer afraid to lose, that's when life gets a lot easier. You look back and realize that you never actually lost the fearlessness of youth. It just turned into a somewhat less frenetic fearlessness of experience and maturity.
The most important thing is that you keep on riding that roller coaster--and enjoying the ride.
