Sifting the Trash
A History of Design Criticism
by Alice Twemlow
How product design criticism has rescued some products from the trash and consigned others to the landfill.
Product design criticism operates at the very brink of the landfill site, salvaging some products with praise but consigning others to its depths through condemnation or indifference. When a designed product's usefulness is past, the public happily discards it to make room for the next new thing. Criticism rarely deals with how a product might be used, or not used, over time; it is more likely to play the enabler, encouraging our addiction to consumption. With Sifting the Trash, Alice Twemlow offers an especially timely reexamination of the history of product design criticism through the metaphors and actualities of the product as imminent junk and the consumer as junkie.
Twemlow explores five key moments over the past sixty years of product design criticism. From the mid-1950s through the 1960s, for example, critics including Reyner Banham, Deborah Allen, and Richard Hamilton wrote about the ways people actually used design, and invented a new kind of criticism. At the 1970 International Design Conference in Aspen, environmental activists protested the design establishment's lack of political engagement. In the 1980s, left-leaning cultural critics introduced ideology to British design criticism. In the 1990s, dueling London exhibits offered alternative views of contemporary design. And in the early 2000s, professional critics were challenged by energetic design bloggers. Through the years, Twemlow shows, critics either sifted the trash and assigned value or attempted to detect, diagnose, and treat the sickness of a consumer society.
Alice Twemlow, a writer, lecturer, and curator, is Co-head of the Masters Program in Design Curating and Writing at Design Academy Eindhoven, the Netherlands. From 2008 to 2016, she was Founding Chair of the Masters Program in Design Research, Writing, and Criticism at the School of Visual Arts in New York.
Designing happens via critique, but for too long design criticism has been a distinct, weak discourse. Sifting the Trash articulates what robust historically situated design criticism can and must now be.
Cameron Tonkinwise, Professor of Design, University of New South Wales Art and Design, Sydney, Australia
With vivid prose and fresh, compelling illustrations, Sifting the Trash presents a perceptive history of late twentieth-century British and American design criticism. Alice Twemlow uses a case study approach to trace shifts in critical emphasis from moralizing about design, to warning the public about its insidious influence, to promoting an open DIY approach.
Jeffrey L. Meikle, Stiles Professor in American Studies, University of Texas at Austin
Alice Twemlow's stratigraphy of design criticism from its emergence in the 1950s to the present brilliantly exposes and explores the nascent discipline's struggle to balance the demands for product promotion with those for social critique. If Sifting the Trash is a history of the emergence of the design critic qua professional figure, it is no less a nuanced assessment of the role's fragility in an era in which consumers have been recast as curators and critics of a vastly expanded world of products.

Instagram add long video form! With this theoretical idea users will be able to upload vertical videos up an hour long.
As you know Instagram limited users with 1 minutes length videos and even stories should be shorter than 1 minute it is just 15 seconds.
The only video format that satisfies users live videos lasts up to 1 hour but users say there should be no time limit because it is a live stream.
Facebook tries to make an ideal video format and time limit to monetize videos.
Instagram has 800 million monthly active users, 500 million of those 800 million visits Instagram each end every single day. Stories viewed by 300 million users for every day.
Experts say adding long video option could make the Instagram competitor to YouTube.
According to research video share sites and application is reaching almost all of the world.
YouTube, Instagram Snapchat and Facebook are the first four video share platforms.
Instagram has had a great increase last years and apparently it will not terminate this increase.
Instagram has not yet pay video owner as much as YouTube but in the future most probably they will start to investments about this area.
Next step will be promoting publishers after long video form publisher will have all new form of posts.
But some users do not want to this update because they believe that Instagram and YouTube completely different and should not be the something in the future.
Instagram looks like going to updates these features and if you want to be a publisher you should definitely have enough followers.

Best-selling author and Southern humorist Ronda Rich will be the keynote speaker at this year's annual meeting of the Effingham County Chamber of Commerce.
The banquet caps off a year's worth of Chamber events and also marks the changeover in leadership for the organization.
"Our annual meeting wraps up the year for the Chamber where we gather to reflect on the year's events," said Linda McDaniel, director of marketing and events for the Chamber of Commerce. "We'll also announce our new board members and pass the gavel onto our new president."
Freddy Long of Long Builders Inc. will be the president of the Board of Directors for the Chamber during the 2007-08 year. Effingham County Tax Assessor Janis Bevill is the outgoing president.
The highlight of the evening, however, will come with the announcement of the Treutlan Award.
"The Treutlan Award is the highest award given by the Chamber and recognizes usually one outstanding person who has made a significant contribution, including the arts, to Effingham County," McDaniel said. "It's a real honor to receive this award."
Another of the evening's highlights will come from the keynote speaker, Ronda Rich.
Rich, of Gainesville, Ga., is widely known throughout Georgia and the South as a commentator on Southern life and is fast gaining national notoriety as a humorous and inspirational speaker.
She has appeared on dozens of television shows including "The View," "The Other Half," "Best Damn Sports Show Period," CNN and appeared in many magazines including Cosmopolitan, Redbook and Woman's Own.
She is the best-selling author of "What Southern Women Know (That Every Woman Should)," "What Southern Women Know About Flirting," "My Life in the Pits" and "The Town That Came A-Courtin'."
Her syndicated column appears weekly in newspapers from Myrtle Beach, S.C., to Biloxi, Miss.
McDaniel said having Rich speak at the banquet is an honor.
"We're absolutely thrilled that Ronda will be able to attend our event and speak," McDaniel said. "She appeals to people of all ages - not just women - and we're anticipating having a good turnout and it being just a great evening. We hope people will come out and support her."
The meal, McDaniel said, will be catered by locally renowned Chef Nick Mueller and Co.
For tickets or information, call the Chamber at 754-3301.

Q: Convert European date to UNIX while factoring in timezone and summer time? I have dates in the following format for a set of past events:
year-m-day hour:second

e.g. 2014-05-25 20:41

These dates are based on Brussels time (GMT + 1hr + (1hr summer time)).
I am attempting to calculate how much time has passed since an event started by taking this date/time and minusing it from current date/time as follows:
$current_time = time();
$event_time = date('2014-05-25 20:41');

echo ($current_time - $event_time)

However, due to the timezone, the date is two hours ahead of Unix time.
Is there a simple way to accurately convert from Brussels summer time to Unix bearing in mind summer time kicks in each year on a different date?

A: You can set time zone and use DateTime::diff() function and DateInterval::format():
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Brussels');
$dateNow = new DateTime();
$dateBefore = new DateTime('2014-05-25 20:41') ;
$interval = $dateNow->diff($dateBefore);
echo $interval->format('%h hours %i min ago') . PHP_EOL;

Which shows:
0 hours 37 min ago

And to just convert date to unix time DateTime::format('U') or DateTime::getTimestamp() like that:
echo $dateNow->format('U') . PHP_EOL
echo $dateNow->getTimestamp() . PHP_EOL;

A: Make always uses /bin/sh as the shell it invokes, both for recipes and for $(shell ...) functions.  /bin/sh is a POSIX-conforming shell.  The syntax you're using is not POSIX shell syntax: it's special enhanced syntax that is only available in the bash shell.
You can either rewrite your scripting to work in POSIX shells (probably by using the expr program to do the math), or add this to your makefile to tell it you want to use bash instead of /bin/sh:
SHELL := /bin/bash

Note, of course, that your makefile will now no longer work on any system that doesn't have a /bin/bash shell.


Buying Rate - What is a buying rate?
Invoice and receive payments in different currencies and automatically convert with Debitoor. Try it 7 days free.
The buying rate is the rate which a trader would buy an amount of a foreign currency. They would then sell the currency at the 'selling rate' to an individual or a company.
Currency exchange rates fluctuate frequently, and are constantly updated many times each day. The change in rates can be caused by a number of different factors including inflation, interest rates set by central banks, trade policies between countries, and more.
The buy and sell rates of a currency will vary depending on the day, even the hour and are a complex market to follow.
Specialists that deal in currency buying and selling stay on top of the factors influencing exchange rates, but these rates are also regulated on an international level.
If your company deals with foreign currencies on a regular basis, then you may want to enter into what is called a "Forward contract".
A forward contract enables you to buy a currency at an agreed fixed rate on a certain date. Therefore, even if the exchange rates fluctuate, your buying rate will be fixed at the agreed rate. This allows you to be in control and minimise exposure of any exchange gain or loss.
With Debitoor, you can easily change the base currency of your account, or issue invoices in a variety of foreign currencies. When payment is made on an invoice in a foreign currency, the application automatically converts it based on the set exchange rate for the date of transaction.
Each invoice issued and paid in a foreign currency is labeled in your account so that you can quickly determine in which currency the invoice was issued.

Q: How to use Fn keys in tmux? I have a bind in vim for F5 key to trim whitespaces and I'm unable to use it in tmux.
Instead of that letter "T" appears. Is there's any solution for that?
Actually it was working in putty, now I've switched to Xshell4.
Can this be TERM issue? inside tmux $TERM is screen

A: Does you .tmux.conf contain any lines that set default-terminal?
Assuming Xshell4 emulates xterm (check that $TERM is xterm within your shell outside of tmux...
Then try adding the following to your .tmux.conf
# xterm-style function key sequences
setw -g xterm-keys on

Also check what the term and ttytype variables are within Vim (inside tmux).


So you've made the decision to replace Microsoft Active Directory.
Now comes the process of actually making it happen.
Often, IT admins are afraid of the steps to remove AD from the network. There is the fear of the unknown. What if there is some consequence that wasn't anticipated? The results could be serious. Directory services are the core of any network infrastructure and perhaps the most important component of IT outside of the network itself.
So, the question quickly moves from why replace Active Directory to how to replace Active Directory – securely and effectively. Still, before we dive into the steps of migrating from Active Directory, let's walk through the reasons to make the shift.
Identity management has been at the core of organizations for the last two decades. Microsoft Active Directory has been the commercial identity and access management solution of choice. AD works well with Windows and when the IT resources it manages – users, systems, applications, and networks – are on-prem.
As organizations have shifted to the cloud, Active Directory is no longer as helpful as before. In fact, with the move to MacOS, Linux, AWS, Google Apps, Office 365, and more, a cloud hosted directory services solution is needed.
Directory-as-a-Service® has become the most popular choice as an alternative to Active Directory. As a unified cloud directory it is delivered as a service and is independent. That means that IT gets to choose what IT platforms are best for their organization and they off-load the heavy lifting of managing an identity management solution.
As IT organizations think about migrating away from Active Directory, the cloud directory platform has a built in process to seamlessly replace Active Directory.
Sign-up for the Identity-as-a-Service platform. 10 users are free. If you need to test with more users, ask for the JumpStart program and for a limited amount of time you can use the service with an unlimited number of users. See our Gettings Started guide to learn more on the actual implementation.
After you've signed-up, install the Active Directory Bridge component on your AD server. This will link your system to the cloud hosted directory service. Any changes in AD will be reflected into the cloud directory. Note that AD is still the authoritative system at this point.
Identify the users that you want to be imported into the Directory-as-a-Service platform. You can choose to import as few or as many users as you would like.
With the users imported into the virtual identity provider, you can begin to test. It's ideal to test with your Macs, Linux devices, AWS cloud servers, Google Apps, and more. If you decide to test with any Windows systems, you will need to break the tether to AD and then test those systems. Your goal at this step is to ensure that everything works as expected and your users have been imported properly. You can continue to run your systems in parallel for as long as you need to feel comfortable before you cut the cord on AD.
Once you are ready to migrate completely away from AD, you'll dissociate your users from AD. This is the last step and at this point, the cloud directory service is the authoritative source. AD will no longer control your users.
The process of replacing Active Directory can go as fast or slow as you want. Both Directory-as-a-Service and Active Directory can run in parallel, so you don't need to eliminate AD completely until you are ready.
If you would like to learn more about how to replace Active Directory, drop us a note. Or, feel free to give Directory-as-a-Service a try for yourself.


If you've been following digital marketing at all, you know that link building is a critical component. Link building is the practice of securing links with high-authority online publishers. Many times, that's easier said than done.
That's where Twitter comes in. To procure those high-authority links, you need to connect with journalists, authors, contributors, and thought-leaders. There are a variety of ways to attempt that, and Twitter is one platform that can help. Twitter is based on creating communities of like-minded people through hashtags and trending topics making it an excellent networking too. Just check out #LawTwitter on the network and you'll see what we mean. Now, let's explain specifically why Twitter can help in this arena.
There is a theory of interpersonal communication called the "mere exposure effect". It means that unconsciously, people assign more trust to others they encounter on a regular basis, even if they don't directly interact with them. You don't need to know people personally to find them credible, as long as you have been exposed to them before – vs. strangers.
Next, the anonymity-and-identifiable-other theory means that you like people better and assign more trust to them if they have personality traits that align with your own. For example, if you're an avid gardener and encounter two people – one who states they love to garden and one who lives in a high rise with no green space – you are more likely to prefer doing business with the first person.
Now that we have uncovered some psychology behind why Twitter can help with link building, here's the how-to.
Build out your Twitter profile and add detail. Give people the opportunity to see you, and personality traits they might relate to. Ensure you have added your full name, a relatable bio, photos, and a full timeline. It's important that once you reach out to potential partners, they don't see a sparse timeline when they research you. Pro tip: to increase recognition, use the same avatar for all of your social media.
Create Twitter lists. This is an easy way to keep track of who you've reached out to or who you've gotten a favorable response from. You should also create a "wishlist" of people who you'd like to make contact with, and build lists for specific campaigns. Ensure you're interacting with people on the lists organically and building relationships.
Interact! It's time to spark some relationships. It's important to do this organically – that is, be authentic. Be yourself, and let your real personality show with your actions on Twitter. Easy ways to begin interacting are to follow or favorite an author and their tweets. This shows appreciation, and also gets your name out there, which those authors will hopefully recognize over time. Retweeting and replying take a little more time and effort. This will get you more exposure, but you have to have interesting and relevant responses. It's especially important to be authentic here. However, the payoff is often worth it as responses can lead to natural conversations which build relationships. A simple, effective tactic is to reply to one of your favorite journalist's articles, and try to begin a conversation about it.
Timing is everything. It makes sense to attempt to interact with a blogger or writer about 2-3 days before you send them an official pitch to help with your content. Remember that the more they recognize your name or avatar, the more likely they are to seriously look at your email when it comes through their inbox.
While Twitter might not be the first platform that comes to mind when you think of SEO, it can be a valuable tool for link building. We can't stress enough how important link-building is for all things digital, but how are high authority online publishers going to find your content if you don't have a great online presence? Twitter is one of the many ways for your law firm to make itself known and heard which in turn can encourage others to share your content and link back to your site If you're having trouble employing a strategy to build credibility and get your firm noticed online, we can help.

Q: Alter variables within a multiprocessing queue Is there a way to change values after they have been put into a queue? For instance, if I have a queue that has a couple variables in it, could I sum the first variable with some other value not in the queue? Would the best way to do this be something like:
x = queue.get()
queue.put(x+some_value)

Or is there a way to do it without removing the object from the queue first?

A: You probably want shared values such as multiprocessing.Value, multiprocessing.Array, not queue. Queue doesn't allow it.

A: A queue does not allow access in this way; you are asking to directly access an object which is still in the queue, which defeats the purpose of a queue.
I think what you might be looking for is a deque object to use instead of a queue (read about it here: http://docs.python.org/library/collections.html#collections.deque)
A deque object is thread-safe, and can behave like a queue while still allowing access directly to its members with an index value. However it's slower for random access unless you are accessing the left or right ends of the deque, so if I understood your question correctly this shouldn't be an issue in your case.
If however you do have a lot of random accesses to the deque, just use a multiprocessing.array instead.

Digital Duo: Hands-on with the Yema Digidisc and LED
Caleb Anderson
In 2020 and 2021, digital display, retro-chic watches found themselves in a serious moment. In this visit to the WatchTime Archives, we look back on one of these designs from the French watchmaker Yema via the Digidisc and LED models.
As demand for more and more unique watches grows, so too does the demand for digital watches. In the luxury realm, this demand has been apparent for some time, with the king of mechanized digital timekeeping, the A. Lange & Söhne's Zeitwerk, representing possibly the highest tier. In recent years, the trend has entered the neo-vintage sphere of influence, particularly in the sub-$1,000 price range. Among some recent releases, we saw last year's Hamilton PSR, recalling the 1972 Pulsar, and shortly before that the Bulova Computron LED, based on another 1970s model of the same name.
Today we'll be taking a look at two new members of that fold from French watchmaker Yema: the mechanical Digidisc, and the quartz-powered LED. The last time we covered Yema was upon the release of its Superman Heritage 63 Limited Edition, which we went hands-on with in the fall of last year. Now we will be going hands-on with these two models, both introduced in 2020, and placing these digital daily-wearers in the context of the competitive market at large.
Yema Digidisc
Starting with the Digidisc, we find it has a 36-mm steel case with a brushed top finishing and polished sides. The shape of the model is unique and retro-looking, with the rectangular case (excluding the caseback) that features nine individual facets. The shape of the watch is surprisingly comfortable on the wrist, fitting snugly with its bracelet properly adjusted, and rising only 10.65 mm in thickness. On its right side is one of two accents, the 3 o'clock signed crown, which sits tightly to the case and helps provide the model with a 100-meter water resistance. The other accent is a small engraved Yema "Y" centered on the bottom section of the top facet.
The watch is secured to the wrist via the aforementioned steel bracelet, which connects to the case's 24-mm hooded lugs. Produced in what Yema dubs a "retro-futurist" style, the bracelet has an outward surface that appears to be made up of single links, but a closer inspection of its flip side reveals a more intricate, overlapping construction. The adjustable sliding clasp bracelet is generally quite comfortable and easy to size, but could snag an arm hair or two if you aren't careful. As far as its quality goes, it feels akin to a similar bracelet produced by Timex for its Q Timex line (itself another product of the '70s); it adds value to the watch for its price, but is unlikely to gain much praise on its own merits.
The dial's unique digital display draws its direct influence from a 1970s watch launched by Yema which also featured a revolving disc. The dial itself is quite small, protected by a small flat sapphire crystal and taking up only about a third of the space on the top facet of the watch. The dial display is available in either black — as in our review model — or an alternative brown colorway (below); both feature a slight striping effect, though with the black model, at least, the effect was quite difficult to discern without making some effort to find it.
The dial's configuration is relatively straightforward, with a printed white Yema logo on its right side and a revolving double disk display in parallel showcasing the passing hours and minutes. Worth noting is that the Digidisc tells the time via a semi-digital process, with the time steadily changing in rotation rather than the traditional digital "jumping" process that you see on an old-fashioned alarm clock, for example.
Powering the Digidisc is Yema's second-generation, in-house caliber YEMA2000. The automatic mechanism is capable of a 42-hour power reserve, and claims a daily rate of accuracy to +/-10 seconds per day and a maximum fluctuation rate of +/-25 seconds per day. While these specs might seem somewhat commonplace, the 28,800-vph movement is nonetheless quite significant for its accuracy and cost effectiveness. This is especially apparent when we place the movement into context of being specially modified for the Digidisc's unique time display, providing a seamless and gradual flow of time for the wearer to observe in the semi-digital style.
Yema LED
Turning now to the quartz-powered Yema LED watch, we find a re-issue of a model released during the 1970s at the height of that decade's digital LED craze. Like its mechanical sibling, it has a uniquely shaped steel case, water resistant to 100 meters and available in either traditional steel (above) or gold-colored steel (below). Like the Digidisc, the LED features both brushed and polished finishing across its (at least) eleven facets, though it's sized slightly larger in diameter at 37.5 mm, and slighter thinner at 10.5 mm. Also like the Digidisc, the watch fits comfortably on the wrist even after extended wear, again secured snugly by a single-link brushed steel bracelet.
Besides its unique shape, the case features exposed square-style 20-mm lugs connecting to its bracelet, an engraved Yema logo at the bottom of the top facet, and two pushers on its right side. The top pusher is used to display and cycle through the time, date, and seconds, and the lower pusher is used to adjust each of these.
The watch's face largely consists of a flat mineral crystal protecting the surface, with a dark rectangular center section featuring the LED display, and a red outer section providing some color and contrast. As mentioned, the time display is activated through the right-side pusher, with each press activating the LED lights for approximately 3 seconds. This functionality hearkens back to the retro style of the original LED watches, which needed to work intensely to conserve power. However, this limitation makes telling the time in a quick glance at the wrist somewhat impractical. Additionally, while not a problem for everyday use, photographing the display of time is quite the tricky endeavor, three seconds being a rather short window to aim, focus, and shoot without some focused attention (see below for failed attempt to grab it). While sometimes inconvenient, the display is nonetheless quite charming, and one that can be quickly enjoyed for its "retro-futuristic" appeal.
Powering the quirky model is a battery-powered LED-Quartz movement, details of which are limited. The caliber is protected behind Yema's now-familiar screw-down caseback, which is engraved with the brand's historical crest.
As is the case with almost all digital watches released as part of the vintage-inspired trend, the new Yema LED and Digidisc both seem positioned as interesting novelties poised to join an existing collection, rather than marketed as long-term, everyday-wearers.
With that said, their degrees of appeal are quite different. The LED is an entertaining, albeit occasionally inconvenient timepiece. Its "pros" include being less expensive and offering a similar style to other LED retro-type watches currently on the market while still boasting a unique case shape. Its "cons" would include the aforementioned short time display, making it a very niche piece whose charms appeal to a very specific type of collector.
For most enthusiasts, the Digidisc has more to offer with fewer drawbacks. Between its unique case shape, highly comfortable design, quickly readable time display, and solid, in-house movement, the watch is overall a very interesting and appealing contender with the potential to be a solid sports watch for the right wearer. While its versatility is naturally limited by its unconventional design, it has the makings of a potential cult classic.
Taken together, the two new models from Yema will certainly draw comparisons to the similar offerings from Bulova and Hamilton (above and below, respectively). Whether they will be enough to draw eyes away from both of these larger brands, and even give them a run for their money in the category, remains to be seen, but the stage has been set.
Both the Yema Digidisc and Yema LED are available now directly through Yema and via some authorized retailers. The Digidisc currently retails for $590 in both the black- and brown-dial color options, while the LED is marked at $249 for the steel colorway and slightly higher at $279 for the gold-toned colorway.

'Configuring loopback' is too long. How can I boot faster without network support?
I already googled this issue and realized that it is very individual problem.
I don't need network support on this old laptop (for now) and I want to disable it completely.
I made .bak copy of /etc/network.conf.
Well, it didn't speed up booting actually.
What else can I do to disable network configuering on boot and to boot faster?
But wireless connection in network.conf is disabled by default.
Is it possible to avoid detecting wifi FW?
OK I installed ipw2200 drivers BUT it didn't help.
I mean it didn't speed up booting.
I removed again network.sh from /etc/rcS.conf.
HERE GOES INFO ABOUT MY WIFI WHICH IS OK BUT KILL SWITCH IS ON AND I NEED TO TURN IT OFF BLA-BLA-BLA.
It is so boring! And it is too long! Can I skip all this networking? I do not need any network for now, I need fast bootable typewriter! Help please!
Should I remove some services from /etc/rcS.conf?
kultex, ty very much 4 ur advice, I'll remember it.
So, now I'm trying to understand how to speed up the boot with network services.


So my mom casually mentioned that when she retired she might like to breed labs. Knowing my mom, by the time she's telling people she's thinking about something, she's made up her mind to do it. This is 5-10 years off before she retires. Also, she lives in the country where health tests, contracts and titles aren't going to get her much when the neighbor wants a puppy. Knowing her, the dogs would be well taken care of but would be "outside" dogs, with shelter in the machine shed (heated) but not house pets. She has no interest in showing, just thought it might be a hobby. What resources can I give her to either persuade her to do it right or dissuade her altogether? Help!

What Does It Take to Move Your Agency to a DevOps Model? Being Bold.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the EPA and Nuclear Regulatory Commission are among the agencies pursuing a new approach to IT.
For federal agencies, accomplishing in just a matter of weeks IT tasks that typically take months or years is a dream come true. That's the promise of the DevOps methodology; some agencies are embracing it, but IT leaders say it takes courage to implement a new approach to IT.
DevOps is a way of thinking that encourages software developers to work with IT operations staff on testing and quality assurance to develop software more quickly and automate infrastructure changes. It's a collaborative mentality designed to produce software faster and more efficiently.
Some agencies, like the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (a component of the Department of Homeland Security) are further along than others. However, many agencies are testing out DevOps on a small scale.
USCIS Embraces DevOps to Speed Up E-Verify Program
At USCIS, CIO Mark Schwartz has been embracing DevOps for some time now, and the approach has already produced results. Speaking at the Federal DevOps Summit hosted by the Advanced Technology Academic Research Center on Aug. 18, Schwartz described how the agency has used DevOps to improve its E-Verify service, which lets employers check to be sure prospective employees are U.S. citizens.
According to FCW, Schwartz said implementing DevOps requires jettisoning the traditional way of approaching IT and long-held processes and practices, and even what the agency's inspector general might think.
And as Federal News Radio reported, USCIS is testing out a DevOps practice called "impact mapping." In this exercise, Schwartz said, the developers and IT staff working on the E-Verify program had a goal of increasing the number of cases that a verifier can perform per day from about 70 to an undetermined higher amount.
With that goal in mind, the team then maps out the behaviors that would need to change in the agency, and those who have those behaviors.
"Then they map out for each of those behavior changes, what IT capabilities could be offered that might accomplish those behavior changes," Schwartz said, according to Federal News Radio. Then they take each of those capabilities, think about it and say, 'If we were to provide this capability, we think it would increase the number of cases a day by X amount, whatever the X is.' They really don't know. It's just a hypothesis. They think if they do 'this' it will increase it by this much and if they do this other thing, it will increase it by 'this' much. This is all at the level of capabilities. There are no requirements here."
After that, the development team submits their ideas to the governance board, which is composed of business owners, IT executives and other interdisciplinary leaders for approval and funding. After the governance board approves the ideas, Schwartz said the agile sprint begins. Programmers sit with users of the system, and every time a programmer finishes creating a new piece of functionality, it automatically gets run through a series of compliance and security tests, as well as tests to ensure the new functionality does not break the existing system. Then it all gets deployed to the cloud.
"So in the first hour of the developers working, they are already deploying to a production environment in the cloud and it miraculously appeared," Schwartz said. As they do that, people can start using it. The users start playing around with it. They give feedback. The programmers make changes and every time they make an adjustment and hit the commit button, automatic tests are run."
The goal is to let users of the system drive what gets fixed and what gets deployed. According to Federal News Radio, the approach produced immediate results. The site reported: "On a program where USCIS spent the previous four years just developing and documenting requirements, through impact mapping and using DevOps methodology, the agency delivered its first update to the system in six weeks."
EPA, NRC Test DevOps with 18F's Help
Other agencies are also gingerly implementing DevOps methodologies. Ann Dunkin, CIO of the Environmental Protection Agency, said at the event that her agency is not as deep into the process as USCIS, but added that EPA is relying on the General Services Administration's digital services unit, 18F, and its Cloud.gov platform as a service to "do the heavy lifting," according to FCW.
According to Federal News Radio, Duncan said that approach allows her staff to focus on the business side of projects to ensure continuous improvements. Duncan said that the challenge with moving to an agile development process and a DevOps methodology is overcoming cultural resistance to change. The traditional "waterfall" development process often turned out to be a high-risk gambit because it did not produce what users wanted. Moving to DevOps and agile development requires a new approach, she said.
"There is no solution without risk, but we and a lot of people believe that it reduces risk by constantly interacting," she said. "You're constantly interacting with your vendor or development team, depending on how you are doing the work. You are constantly able to change who is doing the work for you."
Meanwhile, Cris Brown, master data management program manager at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said she "couldn't spell DevOps last summer" but has since reached out to her team for help with two projects, according to FCW.
"We received a report that two major pieces were going to be delayed for four and seven months. We couldn't live with that delay, so I actually reached out to our friends at 18F," Brown said, according to Federal News Radio. "We actually did two DevOps pilots and we were very successful in moving projects forward. As a result of that, we realized that the DevOps needed to be a part of the culture, and we are working to codify the use of DevOps through an internal project management tool that we have so we can continually have that reference. It hasn't been easy. It's a huge culture change that we have just started."

Bentley's Miscellany, Том 44
под редакцията на Charles Dickens, William Harrison Ainsworth, Albert Smith
Beauvais. Great was the indignation of the princess his grandmother, who disinherited him; of his mother, although herself so irregular in her conduct; and of all his relatives. Louis XIV. alone sympathised with him, for he had made vain attempts upon the virtue of the lady himself, and had to put up with her friend La Fontanges, whom she acknowledgedly surpassed in beauty as she also did in chastity. The Count of Soissons, persecuted at the court of France, sought military employment abroad, and soon found an honourable death. His beautiful widow died a poor, broken-hearted wanderer, and his children also perished when young
The second brother, Prince Philip, died of the small-pox. The third, the Chevalier de Savoie, perished from an accident. The fourth, the Chevalier de Soissons, distinguished himself by falling in love with his aunt, the Duchess of Mazarin, and killing a rival in her affections in a duel. The fifth, Eugène Maurice, was, as usual, where there were five, destined for the Church, and from being a persecuted, despised little abbé, became, in the service of the States-General, the "Grand Abbé de Hollande." Eugène de Savoie, hated by Louvois and despised by Louis XIV., soon cast off the sacerdotal habits and entered the service of the emperor. On hearing this, Louis XIV. said, laughingly, " Do you not think that I have sustained a great loss ?" It was indeed a great loss, and such a one as he little suspected. He sent without a regret a sword to his enemies which was destined to shake him on his throne ; he gave to them a general as great as Turenne, whilst his own armies were entrusted to a La Feuillade and a Villeroy. With one man more Louis XIV. would have died the arbiter of Europe-he would have been the "grand monarque" to the end. By losing the little abbé, France also lost many a province.
The Countess of Soissons, after an ineffectual attempt to return to France when Madame de Montespan was succeeded by another Esther, threw all her energies into the service of her illustrious son. For his sake she visited Spain and England, and her memory is gloomily associated in the former country with the death of the queen, upon whom she is said to have practised her abominable arts. This extraordinary woman died at Brussels in 1708, in the enjoyment of triumphs over her enemies. "How many people of Versailles, how many old acquaintances, did she not find (Villeroy among others) among those prisoners with whom the conqueror of Oudenarde and of Malplaquet filled the fortresses of Germany and Flanders! She saw the throne of Louis XIV. tremble before the shocks given to it by her son ; she witnessed the defeats and the humiliation of the court that had banished her; and the mother of Eugène expired tasting the last pleasure of pride and vengeance."
Marie and Hortense Mancini, who came to Paris after the Fronde, were educated at the convent of the Filles Sainte-Marie at Chaillot, and when they were brought from thence to the Louvre, their contemporaries said that the cardinal intended them as companions to the king in the place of Olympe,-an apparently scandalous supposition, yet which, M. Renée says, '" ne choque en rien les vraisemblances." Marie was not successful at first; the king preferred Mademoiselle d'Argencourt; but being on the point of death from a fever contracted during the war in the Low Countries, Louis XIV. was so affectionately nursed by the Italian, that
he felt bound to reciprocate her attentions from gratitude, and although not remarkable for beauty of person, Marie possessed such a highly cultivated mind that she soon became a first favourite:
Le roi, notre monarque illustre,
Menoit l'infante Mancini,
Des plus sages et gracieuses,
Et la perle des précieuses. Somaize also gives a place to Marie Mancini in his great "Dictionnaire des Précieuses." In the pride of her affection, Marie disdained the interests of the queen and even those of her uncle the cardinal, seeking for the honour and welfare of her lover, whom she did everything in her power to educate in that independence of character which had not yet manifested itself in him. A change came upon the scene when Louis started with his court for Lyons to meet his proposed bride, Margaret of Savoy. Marie, however, nothing dismayed, " chevauchait à ses côtés," for the greater part of the journey had in those times to be performed on horseback. When a halt took place, Hortense and Marie-Anne amused the queen, whilst Marie was with the king. Louis was pleased at first sight with his intended, but Marie, or some one else—most likely Marie-so calumniated the young princess, representing her as humpy, that the king soon grew cool, and was in a happy condition to receive the overtures of Don Antonio Pimental, who arrived at Lyons to supersede the alliance with the house of Savoy by one with the Infanta of Spain. The Duke of Savoy rode off in disgust, the cardinal comforted the mother with a pair of earrings, and as to Margaret herself, she is said to have preserved an admirable tranquillity and reserve under such painful circumstances.
Marie had, however, gained a step, and she was now at the height of her favour with the king. It is even said, when Don Juan of Austria arrived with his folle, called Capiton, to cement the matrimonial alliance with Spain, that Louis XIV. spoke openly to the cardinal, and said he preferred to wed his niece, and that the cardinal objected. His objections have been supposed to have been founded on state policy, the importance of an alliance with Spain, and the hostility that would be aroused among all parties, the queen, the French people, and throughout Europe, at such an opportunity for securing peace being thrown away for one of the cardinal's nieces. M. Amédée Renée, however, prefers á less likely and more domestic explanation of the fact, in the circumstance that Marie despised her uncle, and fancied herself influential enough to succeed in winning the king without the assistance of either queen or cardinal. If so, she made a great mistake ; for Mazarin, going to the conferences in the Pyrenees, did not choose to leave Marie with the king, but sent her, with her two younger sisters, to the citadel of Brouage. The king is said to have cast himself on his knees to the inflexible minister. As to the proud Marie, she turned to the monarch in tears, and taunted him : " Vous m'aimez, vous êtes roi, et je pars!" If the first version of this story is accepted, that Marie was sacrificed to political exigencies, it is a relieving point in Mazarin's otherwise despicable character; if, however, it was a mere quarrel between uncle and niece, it only adds to the turpitude and insignificance of the minister. The correspondence, however,
that followed between Mazarin and the king, as also with his niece, when he discovered that the lovers were in active correspondence with one another, are sufficient to establish that M. Amédée Renée's view of the subject is not the correct one, and that the cardinal really sacrificed his own and his niece's interests to those of the king and the country which he had so long served. Mazarin showed himself upon this occasion to have been a worthy successor of Richelieu.
Marie managed to have another interview with the king at St. Jean d'Angely, and, as might naturally be expected, the passion of both parties was only increased by opposition. The cardinal, however, triumphed; the marriage of Louis XIV, and of the Infanta of Spain was consummated, and a matrimonial arrangement was made for Marie with the Connétable Colonna, in order that she might be removed altogether from Paris, where it was justly opined her presence would interfere with the happi. ness of the newly-wedded royal couple.
The very idea of such an alliance threw Marie into a state of despair. Unable to wed the king, she would have preferred Charles of Lorraine, who had shown her marked attentions; but the cardinal was inexorable, and she was removed to Milan, where her nuptials were celebrated like one going to a sacrifice. Still the first years of her wedded life are said to have been happy enough. Prince Colonna was to her "un mari facile, indulgent, fort épris." Everthing was done, also, to render her residence at the Palais Colonna agreeable. Conversaziones, concerts, balls, and plays succeeded to one another, to the great scandal of the Romans, where the ladies lived in retirement. In the course of time Marie bore three sons to the connétable, the eldest of whom married a daughter of the Duke of Medina Celi, minister in Spain. But in the course of time, also, the affections of the connétable and those of his lady grew cool, and from coolness sprang aversion. M. Amédée Renée tells us that, having suffered greatly in childbed, Marie "recourut au remède le plus héroïque pour éviter de nouveaux périls." She severed herself from her husband, but it does not appear whether she did as much with her old lover, the Chevalier of Lorraine, who had joined her at Rome, and with whom, the Duke of Nevers, her brother, and her sister Hortense, each successive day was passed in some new pleasure, promenade, cavalcade, collation, or hunting-party. The connétable, on his side, sought for indemnification in the person of Princess Ghigi. The relations of La Connétable, as Marie was called, with the chevalier became at length so notorious, that, with the perspective of an imprisonment at Palliano, a stronghold of the connétable's on the frontiers of the Roman States, she fled with Hortense to Civita Vecchia, whence they made their escape in a felucca to Provence. The two sisters were, however, arrested at Aix, disguised in the habiliments of the male sex. Hortense was allowed to proceed into Savoy, whilst Marie found a temporary shelter in the Abbaye du Lys. But not remaining quiet, and insisting upon seeing the king, she was also sent after her sister into Savoy. Nor did she remain there long, for, quarrelling with the duke, she left Savoy for the Low Countries, where she was arrested and imprisoned in the citadel of Antwerp. Upon her liberation thence she proceeded to Spain, to try her fortunes in that country, but at Madrid they placed her in a convent as a dangerous person. The connétable, her husband, also came over from Italy to see her, but it does
not appear that they came to terms of reconciliation. The Marchioness of Villars wrote of her even at this epoch: "C'est vraiment un caractère original, qu'on ne peut assez admirer, à le voir de près comme je le vois. Elle a ici un amant." The latter appears to have been an indispensable contingent to the Mancinis at all times. The connétable, however, did not admire these proceedings, and he had the fair and frail one imprisoned in the Alcasar of Segovia. Different convents in Spain served each in their turn as a prison for this unfortunate lady: " Elle revint en France, assure-t-on ; et cette femme, qui avait vécu dans les grandeurs et qui s'était vue si près d'un trône, ne laissa point de traces de ses derniers pas."
What a melancholy exit! It is possible, her biographer says, that the cardinal, in opposing her marriage with Louis XIV., saved him from a fate similar to that of Louis XVI. But is the suggestion a fair one on any grounds ? Was Marie Antoinette guilty? and had Marie wedded Louis XIV., was the character of that monarch as weak as that of Louis XVI.? Proud, clever, and courageous as Marie was, is it likely that she could ever have ruled le Grand Monarque as Marie Antoinette did Louis XVI.? And even laying that aside, is it at all likely that Louis XIV. would have been more constant to Marie than he was to any one else? " Dans sa chûte profonde," concludes her biographer, "elle contemplait peut-être avec orgueil le règne de Louis XIV. Elle n'a eu qu'une page, il est vrai, mais cette page couvre sa vie, et l'histoire n'oubliera pas ces mots charmants : Vous m'aimez, vous êtes roi, et je
pars !'"
With all her faults, it is impossible not to admit that Marie was one of the most remarkable characters of the day, and one of the nieces of Mazarin most to be pitied. Whatever might have been the results of her marriage with Louis XIV., it is admitted that she was his saving genius by inspiring him with a just and royal pride, and it by no means follows that she would have been a Marie Antoinette to him; on the contrary, if we are to believe the Duchess of Mazarin, her sister, and a good authority, she was chaste when she wedded Colonna. The loves of Louis and Marie were first loves on both sides, and whether it was from fear and dislike on the part of the cardinal, or from the necessities of state policy, still was Marie sacrificed alike by king and minister.
Hortense Mancini, the next in succession, had as many suitors as Penelope. First on the list came our own Charles II. when an exile. The cardinal had somehow or other neglected to consult his niece's horoscope, for he twice declined a banished prince whom he lived to see soon afterwards restored to his throne. Or was it that he deemed it more suitable to offer a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years of age to the veteran Turenne ? Be it so or not, the latter had the good sense to excuse himself on the plea of absence of inclination on the part of the young lady herself. Next on the list came the Prince of Portugal, whose want of success is involved in obscurity. It is the same with respect to the Duke of Savoy, who became a competitor for her hand. Mazarin appears to have had a complicated matrimonio-political game in view. He wished to detach Coligny from Condé by an alliance with Hortense, but the gallant soldier was not to be caught by such a bait, however tempting.
Mazarin then turned his thoughts to the Prince of Courtenay, but he soon gave up the idea ; the Courtenays, albeit de
arms.
scendants of Louis-le-Gros, and once rulers at Constantinople, were almost penniless, and of all his nieces, Mazarin favoured Hortense most, and intended her for his heir. When Charles II. reascended his throne, negotiations were once more opened by his queen-mother Henrietta; but whether Charles himself was spiteful, or Mazarin dissatisfied, the negotiation fell to the ground.
All this time a youth of low parentage, Armand de la Porte, son of a soldier of fortune, Marshal de la Meilleraye, loved Hortense for her own sake, and that to such a degree that he used to say . he would wed her even if he was to die three months afterwards. Mazarin, returning from the conferences at the Pyrenees, stricken by death, selected this true lover for his heir, on the condition that he would assume his name and
Thus for the trouble of wedding the person he loved, one of the prettiest women in France too, this fortunate youth became Duke of Mazarin, one of the wealthiest men in the kingdom, and governor of Alsace, Brittany, and Vincennes. The cardinal, dying shortly afterwards, the young couple went to reside at the Palais Mazarin, which is said to have surpassed the Louvre in magnificence.
Unfortunately, with all these wondrous advantages, there was no happiness for Armand de la Porte. It seems quite enough that a Mazarin should be concerned that there should be evil spirits in the house. The frequent visits that the king paid to the duke's wife came first to disturb his equanimity. Armand loved his Hortense too much to be a "mari facile" after the fashion of the Mercœurs, the Contis, the Colonnas, and the Soissons. He determined to remove his wife from the scene of temptation, and with this view he travelled about from one place to another. " L'image du roi, et peut-être de beaucoup d'autres, le poursuivait, et ne laissait reposer nulle part ce juif errant de la jalousie," says M. Renée, thereby sadly implicating the character of a young wife and mother. Jealousy at length drove the unfortunate duke mad. He took offence, as did the Jansenists of the Fronde, with the naked statues of Italy, and the licentiousness of the paintings of Titian and Corregio. He did not, like Tartufe, throw his handkerchief at them, but he daubed his paintings, and broke his statues with a hammer. Colbert, sent to the Palais Mazarin by the king, alone succeeded in saving a few chefs-d'cuvre. Not satisfied with these extravagances, he told the king that the angel Gabriel had warned him that misfortunes would overtake him if he did not give up his connexion with Mlle de la Vallière, but the king laughed at him. This same madman was engaged in perpetual lawsuits. He had some five hundred in reference to the cardinal's estates alone. He expressed no surprise ; he used to say, he knew that they were wrongly acquired. Another peculiarity he had, and which is alluded to by Voltaire in his letters, was to appoint his attendants by lottery; and thus his doctor became a groom, and his chaplain a cook.
It was natural that matrimonial felicity could not long last between such a man and a Mancini. Hortense ran away from his mad tricks, and took shelter at her brother's house. A reconciliation was effected; but, wearied out, she at length sought protection within the walls of the abbey of Chelles, the abbess of which was her husband's aunt. The duke, however, interfered with the king, and got her removed by force to the convent of the Filles de Sainte-Marie de la Bastille. Here she found a

Welcome to the second day of #BrunchWeek! Today I am offering my recipe for Goat Cheese and Asparagus Breakfast Souffles, which is a take-off of the puff pastry lined souffles offered at Panera bread.
This was a recipe of discovery for me, as I had never tried baking a souffle with the crust. I found out that while similar recipes call for a baking time of 25 minutes or so, this is wildly off. That baking time is perfect for a souffle without a crust. And if you want to make that, just omit the puff pastry and butter your ramekins before filling. They will cook in no time flat.
But the ceramic ramekins with the puff pastry took significantly longer. You will notice that at 25-30 minutes it is nowhere near done, although a toothpick might test fairly dry. When they are getting close, you will see them rise up enormously, but then they need a little extra time to get the pastry that rises at that time to cook well. And the extra time doesn't dry them out or anything, since they need that time to rise and puff.
I know Panera bakes their souffle in paper liners, which does provide for a more crisp pastry beneath, so if you insist upon that, take care to use those. That would be baked without the bain marie (water in the baking pan) obviously, (since the cups are paper) but I think the baking time would also be reduced. You'd have to try it and see when it tested done and how you liked it that way.
I was really happy to have Michigan Asparagus provide the produce to develop this recipe. Their crops are just coming in, and I know recipes like this will help me enjoy the season even more than usual, even if I cook tons of asparagus already. So thanks again to them for being such a generous sponsor!
Join me tomorrow as I continue #BrunchWeek fun with my recipe for Huevos Gratinados, utilizing Cabot Cheese. That is essentially a gratin of egg and cheese in a tortilla cup. It's really cute and even tastier than that!
Friday I'll be sharing my recipe for Country Ham Biscuits with Peach Mustard smear, and on Saturday, I will be finishing up #BrunchWeek with a joint posting for #WinePW with my recipe for Breakfast Egg Rolls paired with Leonard Kreusch Maywine (it's a wine-pairing post). So join me each and every day to be sure not to miss a single bite!
Heat butter for bechamel sauce in a skillet and stir in the flour to form a roux.
Add the milk all at once, and season to taste with salt and pepper, stirring until it comes to a boil, and boil one minute.
Remove from heat and stir in the goat cheese and Parmesan until they incorporate.
While sauce is cooling, heat remaining butter in a skillet and saute the chopped asparagus and shallots until tender, seasoning with Herbes de Provence, garlic and chives.
Place the vegetables in a food processor with the cooled sauce, and run until pureed.
Add the three beaten eggs and pulse a few times to blend.
Beat egg whites in an electric mixer fitted with a wire whip until soft peaks form.
Place squares of puff pastry into buttered ramekins and fill with sauce mixture.
Fold the dog ears of the squares over the top of the ramekins, pointing inwards.
Place ramekins in a roasting pan or other tall sided baking pan and fill with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake at 400°F. for about 75 minutes or until highly risen, and puffy, with the pastry looking done.
Goat cheese is my favorite! I am sure this souffle is delicious!
I'm coming to your house for breakfast! These souffles look amazing!
I have never had souffle but it sounds fancy and I want to perfect it lol.
I never had souffle thanks for a recipe!
Well they certainly look gorgeous!
I bought souffle ramekins but haven't used them yet. These are making me pull them out and try my hand at souffle! Yum!


It is currently a truism for people to say we have a crisis of leadership. Has leadership changed with a changing world? What do we want from our leaders today in politics, business and in the community and will we always want these things? This fascinating panel spans politics, academia, the military, feminism, sport and media and is moderated by Professor Tom Frame.
Professor Catharine Lumby has expertise in gender equality, sexual violence prevention, cultural and organisational change and social media. Her ability to present in an accessible and relevant manner has meant she has been asked to consult with organisations as diverse as the National Rugby League, Google, Channel Ten, David Jones and the Australian Defence Forces. She is the author of six books and frequently appears as media commentator in print and on radio and television.
Brigadier Nicholas Jans (Ret'd) OAM is a soldier, a scholar and a management consultant whose professional practice has encompassed all three roles. He served in the Australian Regular Army from 1961-86, retaining his association with the military thereafter as reservist (Brigadier) and consultant. He is on the editorial board of Armed Forces & Society, the world's leading military sociology journal, and is a Visiting Fellow at the School of Business at UNSW Canberra. As a resident of Marysville in Victoria, he was deeply engaged in community recovery and regeneration after the Black Saturday bushfires in February 2009, for which he was later awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia.
Tom Frame has been a Visiting Fellow in the School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Australian National University; Patron of the Armed Forces Federation of Australia; a member of the Council of the Australian War Memorial and judged the inaugural Prime Minister's Prize for Australian History. In July 2017 he became the inaugural Director of the UNSW Canberra Public Leadership Research Group with responsibility for the establishment of the John Howard Prime Ministerial Library in Old Parliament House, Canberra. Tom is the author or editor of over 40 books.

which basically states that ATI doesn't plan on fixing the Radeon 7000 to allow it to boot in OS X on a beige G3. Instead of trying to fix the problem, now they're going to reword the system requirements to say that you need to have at least a B&W G3. Now how can anyone beat that for customer support? Go Nvidia!!! Alas, I guess I'll have to accept the fact that I'll never see fast video under OS X on my Power Mac 8500. The longer I use my Macs, the more I get shafted.
And how many months did ATI work on this card? I'm surprised they didn't realize this limitation earlier.
On a side note, I could not get my ViewSonic G75f monitor to work with the Radeon 7000. This was with my 8500 running OS 9.1. The G75f was connected to the DVI port through a VGA adapter. I had to do it this way because the VGA port is not accessible on the 8500/9500 Macs. A PCI Radeon works perfectly with this setup.

Q: Ionic app run function on second tap I am trying to create a menu in my ionic app that has the following behaviour.

*

*Tap once to show the description for that menu item.

*Tap again to navigate to that page or run the specified function.

I did have my whole menu hardcoded in the template however figure it would be nicer to have an object with the menu items in. This brings me to my main stumbling block of how can I have a function contained within an object.
OR
Am I tackling this completely the wrong way, in which case your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Example code is:
angular.module('ionicApp', ['ionic'])

.controller('AppCtrl', function($scope, $state) {

  $scope.menuItems = [{
      "title": "Create a Programe",
      "icon": "ion-compose",
    "description" : "Search and add exercises to your prgoramme before sending to your patient"
/*      "action": "openCreateFullProgrammeModal()"
      "action": $state.go('app/clients')
      "action": $state.go('app/programmes')*/
    }, {
      "title": "My Clients",
      "icon": "ion-android-people",
      "description" : "view all your clients"
/*      "action": "openCreateFullProgrammeModal()"
      "action": $state.go('app/clients')
      "action": $state.go('app/programmes')*/
    }, {
      "title": "Programmes",
      "icon": "ion-clipboard",
      "description" : "Browse your programe library"
/*      "action": "openCreateFullProgrammeModal()"
      "action": $state.go('app/clients')
      "action": $state.go('app/programmes')*/
    }

  ]

});

Template:

testing

        <ion-item class="item-icon-left home-links" href="#" ng-click="openCreateFullProgrammeModal()">
           {{item.title}}

        </ion-item>

A codepen can be found here
Many thanks.
EDIT
This is what I did in the end...

A: First your approach in hardcoding the menu is not practical you should use ng-repeat for that.
Second here is a codepen for the tapping functionality, I did an example to show you how to make it and you can extend it and implement the go functionality.
here is the codepin

Your Transgender Girl in the Neighborhood-JJ'S HOUSE!
20 Words?
Before I get into this post on coming up with 20 words to describe "femaleness", I want to thank Connie for pointing out I was going through "transgender menopause" (since I have been off my hormones.) I prefer to think of the process as "follow the bouncing hormones" and feel sorry for Liz!
Now, back to the 20 words. I came up with 23 actually and ran out of space. Without boring you with all of them, of course I came up with the nurturing, love type words but then had to come right back with mean,petty,vain and bitchy. Femaleness to me is the height of connecting with the Momma Earth during her good times and bad.
I've had the majority of the women I have come across accept me with a certain curiosity but then had more than I can say who wanted to harm me with a glance.
Of course I had to add in all the physical words femaleness means to me. Soft,curves,smooth,hair and movement come to mind.
Just coming up with the 20 reinforced with me the good and bad of the transgender path I have taken. As we know, women are multi layered critters.

Durham University Business School
Colinette Wang
BA (Hons) Business and Management
Why did you choose Durham University Business School?
"I was drawn to Durham University due to its remarkable sporting opportunities. I knew I had made the right decision because recently Durham University was named Sports University of the Year (Sunday Times 2015)."
What aspects of the course do you like?
"We are assessed through examinations and are also able to demonstrate our potential through film, coursework and reports. This combined assessment provides opportunities for all individuals to shine in the areas in which they excel most."
What is the highlight of your time at Durham University Business School?
"It may sound daft but I don't really have a highlight because simply coming to Durham has changed my life for the better. I can't imagine being anywhere else. Durham has inspired me to participate in a number of activities which have broadened my horizons. This is largely because of the range of sports and arts on offer. I am just living life to the full!"
Innes Gibson
BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance with business placement
What attracted you to Durham University Business School?
"I attended an open day and immediately fell in love with Queen's campus. The distance between lecture theatres and accommodation was a big selling point as it takes around a minute to walk to lectures and seminars. When meeting the staff I instantly felt welcome. They were kind, answered all questions and gave a great introduction to the course. Durham University is highly prestigious and I feel privileged to be a student here. The option of the business placement is a big bonus and really attracted me to the university."
What are the highlights of the course?
"The multiple opportunities to participate in group work and constructing presentations is a big highlight. Being assigned with tasks leading you to investigate topics and companies really gives an insight into the business world, and is great for improving general knowledge. Also, the constant linking between the subjects in hand and current events; day-to-day examples make understanding the work a lot easier and make the lectures and seminars interesting."
What are your plans after you graduate?
"I intend to become a fully chartered accountant and possibly work in Canada. Achieving a degree in accountancy and finance from Durham University will certainly make this path easier."

Konkan is the coastal division of Maharashtra state in India. It stretches North-South from the city of Mumai (Bombay) in the North, to Goa which borders the southern tip of Konkan.
Bombay suburban — the last two have been covered in the Bombay city article.
Bombay city, its suburbs and some surrounding areas like Thane, Navi Mumbai, Kalyan etc. are now administratively a part of a massive conurbation called Mumbai Metropolitan Region, which has its own development authority.
In reality, the entire stretch from Thane to Mangalore forms the historical Konkan region, with some definitions including the entire western coast of India, from Gujarat to Kerala in it. But the official name of Konkan has been assigned only to the Maharashtrian part. It is an approximately 40 km wide strip of land between the Arabian sea and Deccan plateau (Ghats).

The destruction of the French village of Oradour and the massacre of its population in June 1944 by the SS Das Reich Division ranks as one of the most notorious atrocities of the Second World War. The scars that were left will never fully heal and there are those that would argue that they should remain as a lesson to future generations. The ruins of the village have been preserved as a memorial to the victims and a new museum has recently been opened by President Chirac. Fully illustrated in true Battleground style, this superb account reveals the full horror of this outrage.
It receives incidental treatment in several books, yet more detailed studies of the Oradour Massacre have in recent times been difficult to come by. Philip Beck now rectifies this omission. That the SS descended upon the village of Oradour-sur-Glane on 1O June 1944 with murder in mind is itself well-known. But was this an arbitrary act or one planned and premeditated? On whose orders was it carried out? Was the slaughter instigated by the commander on the spot or decreed in advance by some higher military authority? Were the perpetrators ever brought to justice? All of this and more is explored by the author, an experienced investigative journalist whose quest for the truth took him to Oradour itself, a place where "fire-buckled bicycles" still bear silent witness to the fact that the SS struck so rapidly that their owners had no chance of using them to escape.
The Massacre is set within the wider context of World War II in the wake of the Allied Normandy Landings on D-Day and clashes between the French Resistance and Waffen SS. Having discussed their training, tactics and ruthless efficiency, the author goes on to provide useful biographical information about some of the more notorious members of the SS. It was interesting to learn more about SS Commander Diekmann, for instance. We also learn how events on that fateful day were reacted to by the Wehrmacht's own district commander, an aspect neglected in most other accounts.
Beck's clarification as to the precise death toll at Oradour appears to correct assertions made by prominent writers in the former East Germany during the 1960s, because he has avoided relying upon a single source. Philip Beck's writing is balanced rather than sensationalist and incorporates findings from further research conducted by him since he first wrote on this subject in 1979. It is also profusely illustrated. The images themselves speak volumes as to the enormity of the tragedy involved.
