Regardless of the confusion over the correct usage of the word, all parts of society have battled with the concept. People have dedicated their lives to striving towards utopia, constantly in pursuit of a better society, better ruling systems and better designs for our cities.
Today, as in 1920's Dublin, we have a housing crisis. While the slums and tenements are gone, many problems still persist. Utopia is and will remain unattainable (it is after all a non-place) but that does not stop us as a nation having visions for eutopia. As history has shown, grand ideas and futuristic schemes often remain as drawings on paper, but every now and then positive changes and new improvements and can come to fruition thanks to the pioneering vision of these projects.

New Zealand's health system is good by international standards but we need to continue to adapt and find new ways of working. By doing so, we can make sure we are doing our best for the health and wellbeing of New Zealanders into the future.
Like many other health systems around the world, our system faces the challenges of an ageing population and a growing burden of long-term conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes and mental health conditions, and issues such as obesity that lead to long-term health problems.
The Government expects the public health system to continue to focus on delivering high-quality health services, improving performance where it matters most.
It also wants to tackle priority issues that have a wider impact, such as housing quality and the wellbeing of children. The health system already contributes strongly to improving these issues. Stronger partnerships and changing approaches will allow us to do even more.
The New Zealand Health Strategy (the Strategy) has been developed to guide change in the system. Over the longer term, the Strategy's implementation will lead to a health system with a new way of working to support the health and wellbeing of New Zealanders.
The Strategy has two parts:1
The New Zealand Health Strategy: Future Direction (companion document) outlines the high-level direction for New Zealand's health system over the 10 years from 2016 to 2026. It lays out some of the challenges and opportunities the system faces; describes the future we want, including the culture and values that will underpin this future; and identifies five strategic themes for the changes that will take us toward this future.
The New Zealand Health Strategy: Roadmap of actions 2016 (this document) identifies 27 areas for action over five years to make the Strategy happen.
The areas of work set out in this roadmap will have a critical role in driving change. In some cases, this is because they have a system-wide impact; in others, it's because they prompt further action by modelling or unlocking the particular change required. Some areas address issues that are a priority for the Government. In this case, this roadmap underlines what we need to do to reach Government goals.
The work areas in this roadmap are not all new. Most are, to varying degrees, already part of programmes of work at the Ministry of Health and in district health boards (DHBs), in other Crown entities and across the system.
Their presence in this roadmap signals that they are important for the future of New Zealand's health system. It also reflects our expectation that we will focus on them collectively to achieve positive change.
The Strategy includes eight principles that reflect the values of New Zealanders and their expectations of the system (see Refreshed guiding principles for the system). These principles apply also to this roadmap and have relevance across all the themes and to many of the actions. The Strategy principles can be used to guide decisions; for example, about how services could be redesigned, who should be involved and what outcomes to expect.
For example, the principle that acknowledges the Treaty of Waitangi should guide the design of training for health workers and board members to ensure they have appropriate knowledge about the Treaty, what it means for the participation of Māori in the health system, partnership approaches to services and the need to improve the health status of Māori.
Section A of this roadmap describes action areas under each of the five themes of the Strategy (see the diagram below).
Section B of this roadmap outlines how the Strategy will be put into action. It also covers the ongoing work to update this roadmap each year.
Five strategic themes of the strategy
Refreshed guiding principles for the system
Acknowledging the special relationship between Māori and the Crown under the Treaty of Waitangi
The best health and wellbeing possible for all New Zealanders throughout their lives
An improvement in health status of those currently disadvantaged
Collaborative health promotion, rehabilitation and disease and injury prevention by all sectors
Timely and equitable access for all New Zealanders to a comprehensive range of health and disability services, regardless of ability to pay
A high-performing system in which people have confidence
Active partnership with people and communities at all levels
Thinking beyond narrow definitions of health and collaborating with others to achieve wellbeing

Harness racing fans get shelter at Maitland Showground
Harness racing lovers in Maitland will soon be able to sit in the shade to watch competitors go around the city's paceway.
The state government has given Maitland Harness Racing Club a grant worth $14,500 to build a roof over three small track-side grandstands at Maitland Showground.
Harness racing driver Robert Smith, Maitland Harness Racing Club president Peter Allen and secretary Wayne Smith with Liberal candidate for Maitland Steve Thomson.
Maitland MP Robyn Parker and Liberal candidate for Maitland Steve Thomson announced the funding on Tuesday.
Harness racing club president Peter Allen said the club would also contribute about $5000 to the project.
He said the plans for the shelter had been drawn and the club would lodge a development application with Maitland City Council as soon as possible.
"Anyone who wants to come and watch events in the centre ring, they'll be able to get out of the sun," Mr Allen said.
"The complaint we get most from the harness racing people is that they have nowhere to get out of the sun or the rain.
"This funding is going to be such a boost for our sport."
Mr Thomson said the new facilities would be a positive addition to the showground for the harness racing club and other users of the site.
"If you have the facilities to sit in the shade, they are there for the trots, they are there for everything else, it's fantastic," he said.
Ms Parker said the club missed out on a previous round of Community Building Partnership funding, so she approached Premier Mike Baird and asked if the government could help the harness racing club.
"We felt it was a really good project that needed support, not only for harness racing but for multi purpose use for the rest of the community," she said.
"It's a delight, on behalf of the NSW government, to support harness racing in this way and provide an all-weather environment."

[Huawei Ocean Network does not directly belong to any of the three BG platforms, but carries the important mission of expanding the maritime business space. In an exclusive interview recently, Xu Jiantao, Asia-Pacific Regional Director of Huawei Ocean Network Co., Ltd, told First Financial Reporter that in the past decade, Huawei's new submarine cables have exceeded 50,000 kilometers in length, with a global market share of more than 15%, and have become the world's top four industry players.
A submarine fiber optic cable named Malbec, Argentina's famous wine, will be put into operation in the near future. This is the first new international submarine fiber optic cable system to connect Argentina since 2001.
But this is not the first submarine cable project for Facebook investment.
By the end of September last year, Facebook and Microsoft's transatlantic communications cable, Marea, was completed, 6,600 kilometers long, with data transmission speeds of 160 Tbps, equivalent to more than 5,000 HD movies in a second. Microsoft said it could upgrade its capacity in future to support higher bandwidth.
With the increasing demand for Internet traffic from technology giants, especially cloud computing based on data centers, more and more attention has been focused on the undersea fiber optic cable, known as the "central nervous system" of international communications, used to interconnect global data centers. Facebook also recently announced that it would invest $1 billion in Singapore to build its first Asian data center, which now operates in the United States, Sweden and Iceland.
According to TeleGeography, the market space for submarine cables will remain around $1.9 billion over the next two years, and the space for new submarine cable systems will be around $1.7 billion.
"The submarine cable industry will usher in a golden age of development, the Internet giants involved in investment in the construction of the international submarine cable has more than 15. "In addition to the booming technologies such as regional data centers, cloud computing, 4K/8K video, 5G and the Internet of Things, the support of national policies and the participation of Internet giants have brought the cable business into a new period of explosion," Huawei Ocean (HMN) COO Mao Shengjiang said at a recent Asia-Pacific Cable Summit.
Huawei Ocean Network has always been a "special and mysterious" department in Central China. It does not belong to any of the three BG platforms, but carries the important mission of expanding the maritime business space and serving the global international network interconnection. In an exclusive interview recently, Xu Jiantao, Asia-Pacific Regional Director of Huawei Ocean Network Co., Ltd., told First Financial Reporter that in the past decade, Huawei's new submarine cables have exceeded 50,000 kilometers in length, with a global market share of more than 15%, and have become the world's top four industry players.
The submarine fiber optic cable, with a diameter of more than 35,000 kilometers and the thumb of an adult, can transmit 100 terabits or more per second. It is like a dense vessel in the ocean, even deep in the cold ocean.
According to the TeleGeography survey, there are now more than 448 submarine optical cables, more than 1.2 million kilometers in length, carrying more than 95% of international data traffic.
"At present and in the future, the submarine cable is still the most important means of international interconnection." Hu Jianbo, director of the Institute of Industry and Planning, China Information and Communication Research Institute, said at the Asia-Pacific Submarine Cable Summit that most of the 200 countries, except more than 40 landlocked countries, could be reached by submarine cable. Although satellite costs are declining, capacity is relatively limited, mainly for relatively remote islands and landlocked countries, and cross-border land cables have not yet found such a successful and mature business model as the submarine cable.
"China International Submarine Cable Interconnection White Paper" mentioned that the entire international Submarine Cable market is facing very fierce competition, from the traditional Submarine Cable construction and operation of the main point of view, the Submarine Cable Club is mainly Telecom operators, private Submarine Cable owners have basic telecommunications enterprises, there are also financial consortia formed project companies . Regionally, such as the United States, Singapore, Japan, France, China and Hong Kong are very important nodes in the global submarine cable network, the United States based on the support of Internet giants have the most abundant content, become the center of global content.
If fiber optic cables are the "central nervous system" of the Internet, the United States is almost the "brain" of the Internet.
For Huawei Ocean to develop its own business, in the submarine cable industry to break through, we need to break the monopoly of European, American and Japanese enterprises.
"Before 2008, the global submarine cable industry was a highly closed and monopolistic market with a blank domestic industry chain. Over the past few decades, all the global submarine cable systems, including those connected to China, were basically occupied by three submarine cable contractors, namely TESubCom (USA), ASN (Alcatel) of France. Lucent, Japan's NEC (Nippon electric). Xu Jiantao told reporters.
For Huawei, there were three main sources of market disruption difficulties, the biggest of which was customer trust.
"Huawei and Chinese brand related industry chain before this blank, product industry access and recognition is very difficult, during this period, Huawei self-developed cable products need to do a lot of verification and testing, and to be fully open to customer review. At the same time, because the submarine cable system must be able to commit to 25 years of seabed stabilization, sometimes even if Huawei Ocean has done tests that meet international standards or even higher, customers still refuse on the grounds that there are no 25 years of actual verification cases. Xu Jiantao told reporters.
The second difficulty comes from project management capabilities.
Huawei Ocean's role is equivalent to that of a "general contractor" involved in marine surveying, design, production, integration, procurement, installation and final delivery, taking into account the particularities of submarine cable delivery, including offshore clearance of submarine cables, submarine cable maritime routing licensing applications, multinational cross-border commercial law tax compliance, and marine construction risks Control and so on need the extremely strong project management and the risk control ability, otherwise not only oneself will face the huge fine and the cost loss, but also will bring the project deferred commercial income loss risk to the customer, therefore the customer chooses the new contractor very carefully. Especially the project of submarine cable project has a large amount of money, usually up to tens of millions of dollars. Once a manufacturer is selected, it is difficult to terminate the replacement of the manufacturer in the face of some problems. This is also one of the important reasons why the players in the industry are few and difficult to access.
In the past, the submarine cable industry was dominated by Western industries, including standard setting, industry exhibitions, consultants and so on. These manufacturers have a natural psychological line for Chinese manufacturers, especially in the field of submarine cables.
But in the second years since the establishment of HUAWEI ocean, the opportunity to enter the market has arrived.
In 2009, after a rigorous and fierce electronic bidding, Huawei Ocean won the bid and formally signed a contract with Indonesia Telecom for the MKCS submarine cable project, which Huawei Ocean used Turnkey mode to build Indonesia's Mataram-Kupang relay-free submarine optical cable communication system, linking five islands in eastern Indonesia, including Mataram and Kupang. It is about 1318km long.
A Huawei marine insider involved in the project told reporters that many manufacturers were not confident that Huawei would complete the project on time because of the challenges of delivering the environment in remote areas of Indonesia, the difficulty of obtaining maritime licences, the need for ultra-long-distance transmission, and the need to avoid submarine seismic zones and submarine geological parks. It is a challenge, but it is also an opportunity. "Huawei Marine Integration invested the best team and resources of the company at the time, starting with the establishment of a test environment for simulating ultra-long-distance transmission, rigorous submarine cable performance plant testing, and then continued to track and promote the approval of various Indonesian maritime authority departments and the final repeated deduction of maritime construction risk control plans and sites. Engineers stayed on the mosquito-infested island for months, and the project team fulfilled their contract commitments to customers and maintained Huawei Ocean's reputation as the first battle in the industry. Xu Jiantao said.
At present, HUAWEI ocean ranks first in the non relay submarine cable market.
But after 2009, Huawei has had a hard time breaking through the more sophisticated "long-distance submarine relay systems" in the cable industry, which require high-quality underwater repeaters and branching products. Six years later, a submarine cable project invested by Malaysia Telecom has become a breakthrough for HUAWEI in the high-end market.
Xu Jiantao told reporters that the submarine cable business alliance mode, the product requirements are high. What impressed us most was that after we won the bid with many rounds of competitive bidding with European and American manufacturers and obtained the winning letters with excellent technical and business plans, our customers still insisted on hiring independent third-party Western consultants to conduct comprehensive technical and quality audits on the R&D, design, production and manufacture of Huawei submarine cable products. This is the signing of the contract and the birth of the contract. The premise of effectiveness. "And these consultants are from Europe and the United States, and even before the competitor manufacturers have a long working experience, Huawei's requirements are exceptionally strict. In the end, we successfully passed several weeks of rigorous audit by Western consultants, won the approval of Western consultants and final customers, signed contracts and completed the successful delivery of commercial acceptance.
According to the Technology Systems Corporation report, according to the total number of contracts signed in the last four years, the United States, Tyco, Alcatel Lucent, France, and Japan's NEC ranked in the top three, while Huawei ranked fourth. But we can see that since 2015, Huawei's marine business has gradually exceeded Japan's, becoming the industry's third largest.
It took Huawei a decade to move from the industry's Nobody to its competitors in Europe and the United States.
Since the birth of the first submarine cable system in 1989 to 2018, the submarine cable market has experienced several development cycles.
"From 1988 to 1989, the first transoceanic submarine cable (TAT-8) system between the United States, Britain and France was built. The submarine cable is 6,700 kilometers long and the transmission rate of each pair is 280 megabits per second. The Internet since the 1990s has brought the number and mileage of submarine cable laying into a stable development period, but the outbreak period benefited from the opening of the European telecommunications market from 1999 to 2002, and major operators flocked to invest in submarine cable business. Then, after the Internet bubble, submarine cable business entered a five year slump. According to a submarine cable report released earlier by Changjiang Securities Communications, from 2008 to 2017, the global 3G, 4G construction and the rapid development of mobile Internet have brought the submarine optical cable into a steady development period, but the real prosperity will start this year.

STRAIGHT TO YOU the movie (that wasn't)
By djmoody January 14, 2014 July 25, 2018 Books, Films
Straight to You will be released a month from today. By now I'm sure you know it's a complete re-write of my debut novel, so the story has been around a fair while. I wanted to tell you about the time the book almost became a movie…
I was in two minds as to whether or not I should post this, but why not. I've removed all the names and other identifying details to protect the innocent (more to protect me, actually), but you'll still be able to get the gist of this cautionary tale. This is an example of how the corporate entertainment machine can 'acquire' ideas. Though it's probably all just coincidence (he adds quickly for legal reasons).
Given how much information I've deliberately missed out, I wasn't sure how best to tell this story. I decided to use the power of Bitstrips.
It all starts back in 2007. When the film rights to Hater were sold, I suddenly had a lot of people very interested in my books.
I received an email from the production company behind some very famous films. They were asking about Hater initially, but then they started looking at my lesser-known books. As you'd expect, I was really, really excited.
Things got even more exciting… they decided they wanted to option Straight to You.
But it didn't work out. After some preliminary discussions I was told by my contact that the project didn't get traction higher up in the company. Oh well, I thought, chalk that one down to experience. You win some, you lose some.
Fast-forward five years, and I start getting emails from a number of folks who've read Straight to You, asking if I've seen the new apocalyptic comedy romance movie that's just been released. They say there are some eerie similarities. I watch the film, and I can see what they're saying… I tell myself it's just a coincidence (just a series of coincidences, actually), then I notice the film's made by the folks who wanted to option my book but decided not to.
I talk about this to my agent. He says forget it. He says it's almost impossible to prove. He says it'd cost me a fortune to pursue a claim, and I probably wouldn't get anything anyway apart from a massive legal bill. The bottom line: they're fucking huge, I'm fucking not.
I let it go. Who cares? What can I do about it anyway? I decide I should just be happy my book was good enough to partially inspire (perhaps) a fairly good Hollywood movie. It's a lesson learned, I tell myself.
Fast-forward again to last summer. I'm in Avilés, Spain, for the Celsius 232 festival, and I'm sitting on a panel with some very respected, much better known authors than me.
We're talking about how our books have been adapted for film and TV, when one of my fellow authors – mentioning no names, but in my eyes he's a literary giant – tells a story very similar to mine: a production company wanted to option his book, changed their minds at the last minute, then went on to release a similarly-themed movie which cleaned up at the box office. And it turns out… it's the exact same production company.
You have to laugh, don't you?
All's fair in love and war, but it seems that many people in the film industry will happily rip your head off your shoulders and shit down your neck stump.
Right, it's nice to have been able to share and to have got that out of my system. Back to the present, and I'll have more Straight to You news next week. I'll talk more about the differences between the 1994 and 2014 versions of the book, and I'll soon be able to reveal the spectacular cover art.
You can pre-order the new version of STRAIGHT TO YOU now direct from Infected Books.

1.Create file "Web.config.js" (java script file) in the project root
2.Add ref to the JS in your HTML file
<script src="Web.config.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

3.add the key & val to the "Web.config.js":
var prmKEY = "myVal"

4.Access prmKEY from JQuery as global parameter

A: Jquery is javascript that runs in your browser, your web.config resides on your server.  If you want to expose data from your web.config, I think you should create some kind of webservice that you can call from the client side javascript to get the data you want.
If you would be able to directly read from the web.config file, then it would be a major security risk as the web.config file is often used for storing sensitive information like connection strings etc.

A: You can also store the data as a cookie in the OnPreRender(EventArgs e) or Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) (if your using the Page_Load() store the cookie in the if (!IsPostBack){} so your not storing it multiple times) and read it on the client side to use for whatever purpose. I usually store data such as this as session storage on the client side to use while the program is running.
Server side:
// **This works best if the property isn't a data structure, otherwise you will need to do**
// some data manipulation to get it to work right
Response.Cookies["FOO"].Value = MyApp.Properties.Settings.Default.FOO.ToString();

Client side:
sessionStorage.FOO = readCookie("FOO");

A: No, you cannot.

A: I found solution without making any web service :
1- building empty aspx page that in it's load read the data from web.config and write it in the page using Response.Write(**)
2- using JQuery to read the result from created page as follow :
$.get
(
   "JQueryPage.aspx",
    function(result) {
      // .. set variable to result and use it
    }
};

A: *

*In Page Load event store the config value in hidden fields using Config Manager.

*Retire from hidden fields using J query.

A: You can create a hidden textbox with variable on html and assign value from config file to it. Assign a id to the hidden control and grab details of that using jquery.

A: I'd assume you could read the value from your webconfig in your controller. Inject that value into your view and then use jQuery to retrieve that value. That would be the way I'd approach it. I'd place it in my appsettings element. Shown here how to get from your webconfig. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/610xe886.aspx , then I would inject that into my view using Viewbag.

Grandeur Peak Global Opportunities (GPGOX), August 2013 update
By David Snowball
THIS IS AN UPDATE OF THE FUND PROFILE ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN February 2012. YOU CAN FIND THAT PROFILE HERE.
Objective and Strategy
Global Opportunities pursues long-term capital growth by investing in a portfolio of global equities with a strong bias towards small- and micro-cap companies. Investments may include companies based in the U.S., developed foreign countries, and emerging/frontier markets. The portfolio has flexibility to adjust its investment mix by market cap, country, and sector in order to invest where the best global opportunities exist. The managers expect to move towards 100-150 holdings (currently just over 200).
Grandeur Peak Global Advisors is a small- and micro-cap focused global equities investment firm, founded in mid-2011, and comprised of a very experienced and collaborative investment team that worked together for years managing some of the Wasatch funds. They advise three Grandeur Peak funds and one "pooled investment vehicle." The adviser passed $1 billion in assets under management in July, 2013.
Robert Gardiner and Blake Walker. Robert Gardiner is co-founder, CEO and Director of Research for Grandeur Peak Global. Prior to founding Grandeur Peak, he managed or co-managed Wasatch Microcap (WMICX), Small Cap Value (WMCVX) and Microcap Value (WAMVX, in which I own shares). In 2007, he took a sort of sabbatical from active management, but continued as Director of Research. During that sabbatical, he reached a couple conclusions: (1) global microcap investing was the world's most interesting sector, and (2) he wanted to get back to managing a fund. He returned to active management with the launch of Wasatch Global Opportunities (WAGOX), a global small/micro-cap fund. From inception in late 2008 to July 2011 (the point of his departure), WAGOX turned a $10,000 investment into $23,500, while an investment in its average peer would have led to a $17,000 portfolio. Put another way, WAGOX earned $13,500 or 92% more than its average peer managed.
Blake Walker is co-founder of and Chief Investment Officer for Grandeur Peak. Mr. Walker was a portfolio manager for two funds at Wasatch Advisors. Mr. Walker joined the research team at Wasatch Advisors in 2001 and launched his first fund, the Wasatch International Opportunities Fund (WAIOX) in 2005. He teamed up with Mr. Gardiner in 2008 to launch the Wasatch Global Opportunities (WAGOX).
Strategy capacity and closure
Grandeur Peak specializes in global small and micro-cap investing. Their estimate, given current conditions, is that they could profitably manage about $3 billion in assets. They could imagine running seven distinct small- to micro-cap funds and tend to close all of them (likely a soft close) when the firm's assets under management reach about $2 billion. The adviser has target closure levels for each current and planned fund.
Management's stake in the fund
As of 4/30/2012, Mr. Gardiner had invested over $1 million in each of his funds, Mr. Walker had between $100,000 and 500,000 in each. President Eric Huefner makes an argument that I find persuasive: "We are all highly vested in the success of the funds and the firm. Every person took a significant pay cut (or passed up a significantly higher paying opportunity) to be here." The fund's trustees are shared with 24 other funds; none of those trustees are invested with the fund.
October 17, 2011.
The fund closed to new investors on May 1, 2013. It remains open for additional investments by existing shareholders.
1.88% on $425 million in assets (as of July, 2013).
As part of a long-established plan, Global Opportunities closed to new investors in May, 2013. That's great news for the fund's investors and, with the near-simultaneous launch of Grandeur Peak Global Reach (GPROX/GPRIX), not terrible news for the rest of us.
There are three matters of particular note:
This is a choice, not an echo. Grandeur Peak Global Opportunities goes where virtually no one else does: tiny companies across the globe. Most "global" funds invest in huge, global corporations. Of roughly 280 global stock funds, 90% have average market caps over $10 billion with the average being $27 billion. Only eight, or just 3%, are small cap funds. GPGOX has the lowest average market capitalization of any global fund (as of July, 2013). While their peers' large cap emphasis dampens risk, it also tends to dampen rewards and produces rather less diversification value for a portfolio.
This has been a tremendously rewarding choice. While these are intrinsically risky investments, they also offer the potential for huge rewards. The managers invest exclusively in what they deem to be high-quality companies, measured by factors such as the strength of the management team, the firm's return on capital and debt burden, and the presence of a sustainable competitive advantage. Together the managers have 35 years of experience in small cap investing and have done consistently excellent work. From inception through June 30, 2013, GPGOX returned 23.5% per year while its peers have returned about 14.5%. In dollar terms, a $10,000 investment at inception would have grown to $14,300 here, but only $12,500 in their average peer.
The portfolio is evolving. While Global Opportunities is described in the prospectus as being non-diversified, the managers have never chosen to construct such a portfolio. The fund typically holds more than 200 names spread over a couple dozen countries. With the launch of its sibling Global Reach, the managers will begin slimming down the Global Opportunities portfolio. They imagine holding closer to 100-150 names in the future here versus 300 or more in Global Reach.
Eric Huefner, Grandeur Peak's president, isn't exactly sure how the evolution will change Global Opportunities long-term risk/return profile. "There will be a higher bar" for getting into the portfolio going forward, which means fewer but larger individual positions, in the stocks where the managers have the greatest confidence. A hundred or so 10-25 bps positions will be eliminated; after the transition period, the absolute minimum position size will be 35 bps and the targeted minimum will be 50 bps. That will eliminate a number of intriguing but higher risk stocks, the fund's so-called "long tail." While more-concentrated portfolios are generally perceived to be more volatile, here the concentration is achieved by eliminating a bunch of the portfolio's most-volatile stocks.
If you're a shareholder here, you have reason to be smug and to stay put. If you're not a shareholder here and you regret that fact, consider Global Reach as a more diversified application of the same strategy.
Grandeur Peak Global Opportunities. The website also hosts a nice white paper on the case for global small cap investing (2012), as well as a pretty thorough introduction to Grandeur Peak and their approach (2013).

Outliers Review - Summary & Analysis - Opportunity, Part 1/4 | High School, College, Success!
My dissatisfaction with the current overbearing schedule for students in high school has led me to do quite a bit of reading. (To see my reading list about success and education, click here.) One of the first books I read was Outliers: The Story of Success, by Malcom Gladwell. It had been on my reading list for awhile for completely unrelated reasons, so when it was recommended to me as a follow up to World Class Learners: Educating Creative and Entrepreneurial Students by Yong Zhao, I moved it to the top. Among other things, World Class Learners used Steve Jobs, an Outlier, as an example of a successful entrepreneur so much that I was curious to see an analysis of his success.
This post contains affiliate links at absolutely no cost for you. Thanks for supporting this blog by buying items through these links.
Outliers was very entertaining and easy to read. However, the entire second half of the book didn't seem to fit with the first. The first part is titled Opportunity. It was devoted to analyzing the success of "outliers," people who's successes stand out above the pack. The second half is titled Legacy. It tries to show how culture leads to the success or failings of a society as a whole. Gladwell fails in his attempt to tie the two parts together.
A lot of the first half is dedicated to showing how the luck of timing plays an important part in success.
Pro-sports players tend to have birth months that give them an advantage in their respective age-based youth leagues.
Computer mega-stars were likely to be born in the years 1954-55 and got early access to computers when they still weren't common. (Just in case you're trying to compute my age, I missed that too.) Those are the birth years of Bill Joy (Sun Microsystems and Java), Bill Gates (Microsoft), and Steve Jobs (Apple), among others.
Timing is important, Gladwell argues, because it gave the Outliers opportunities to amass 10,000 hours of practice at a young and stellar age before others did.
Gladwell goes a lot into the 10,000 hours rule, but I'll just summarize by saying that there are many examples that show that's the amount of practice time it takes to really excel at a skill.
Acquiring that skill leads to more opportunities.
It's snowball effect and it helps if – because of timing – you're on a good, snow-covered slope to begin with and ahead of other people.
He then goes on to show that the 10,000 hours of practice is more important to acquiring the needed skill than intelligence or talent.
In addition to traditional intelligence, Gladwell asserts that you also need "practical intelligence," or basically the ability figure out what you need and to talk other people into giving it to you. It's an ability to talk your way out of any problem. Basically, it means you know how to ask for special favors, and get them. He gives examples of people who are able to do this and be successful, like Steve Jobs and a successful immigrant garment entrepreneur.
I found this really interesting, because I learned that I shouldn't ask for people to make exceptions for me. If you ask too much, people will resent you. And when it comes to our own kids and school, we've been doing almost the same thing. While we have been teaching them to stand up for themselves, I feel like we also keep telling them that they're one of a lot of kids, the teacher has a lot to do, don't expect them to make an exception for you….yada, yada, yada.
To some extent this is true. But from the biography of Steve Jobs, by Walter Isaacson, it's clear that he thought he was special. He not only thought he was special; he knew he was special. Look where that got him.
Which is part 2 of Outliers.
I'll be looking at the second part of Outliers, Legacy, in my next post.
I have this book sitting on my nightstand. Haven't started it yet though. I think I will now.
Outliers has been out so long that I thought I was the last one to read it when I finished it a year ago – I'm glad to know that my review isn't too late! 🙂 It's an entertaining read so once you start I don't think you'll have trouble getting through. I think it's really interesting because I think everyone is trying to be an "outlier" these days, and that's part of what's driving the AP arms race. I'll be curious to know if you see the book differently than I do!

During those old days, camera installation is exclusive to those individuals with enough financial capabilities and highly stable businesses. When installing surveillance camera system required complex procedures. At the time, you needed an expert to set up your security camera to function correctly.
That was the old days. Nowadays, however, Installing outdoor security camera system is as easy as 1, 2, 3 due to its high public demand. With the manufacturer's continued innovations; video surveillance cameras became more and more convenient and user-friendly to cater the demand of the public.
Manufacturers continuously produced a wide variety of security cameras systems depending on the need and requirement of individuals; considering the budget as well. There are different kinds of features to choose from. You may first consider the image resolution of cameras. Wired or wireless surveillance cameras for convenience, expandability, with night recording feature or the one with audio recording; or, motion sensor surveillance camera system or not.
Wireless surveillance cameras become more preferable by the public as it is easier and more convenient, because they do not require cable wirings to set up. Wired surveillance camera system on the other hand; is more tricky and complicated to install as it requires appropriate attachment of cables to function properly.
Another relevant consideration in having outdoor surveillance cameras is to decide the purpose of installing one. Owners may prepare to set it up inconspicuously. You can hide your cameras; because people tend to act differently when they know they are on camera.
Some owners' on the other hand; prefers to set up video surveillance cameras conspicuously to discourage the intention of burglary and break-in. If they see a security system, they may move on to a less secured home. The presence of outdoor surveillance cameras demoralizes their motives that some business owners and home owners alike tend to use fake security cameras as the difference from functional to fake is hard to recognize due to the similarities to the wireless surveillance camera, no cable wiring required.
After you have decided which kind of video surveillance camera you need; attaching the camera to the preferred location is the next with consideration as to how high or low the camera is to be set up for a better view. If using wireless Security Camera System, the only thing to do is attach the camera to the specific location by drilling holes in which to attach the brackets.
When you secure the brackets, mount the camera to the position where you would like to monitor. Last is to connect the outdoor video surveillance to the chosen monitor to where you can view images. If it is Hardwired outdoor security camera system; you can only set up the camera if you have technical expertise, if not; you need to seek the assistance of an expert to properly install the camera.
There are security cameras that are very easy to install; they're almost like plug and play. But there are also those that take a lot more time to mount. Depending on the type of the device, I would suggest having someone from the company install the camera just to be sure that it works properly.
Most security cameras come with do it yourself manuals. they are self-explanatory. but I would rather have my installations done by a professional.
I did not even think to hide my cameras! I just got some wireless ones for around my house and in my backyard. I love the idea of hiding them so no one knows they are on camera. When I worked in a department store in my young 20's, I remember one of the managers saying there are only two main cameras, the rest are empty and only there for looks. I was like wait… WHAT!? I guess a lot of stores do this because they know if someone see's a camera, they likely won't do anything wrong.
Great run down. I prefer wireless over wired having worked with both. The wired ones are harder to hide. They are known for being more reliable though so I guess there is a give and take there. I am planning on installing a few more cameras around the house just for added security. Great read!
I always say to leave security and safety to the people who know the trade. I once set up a system on my house that failed. I had no idea it wasn't set up properly and my neighbor got hit by some robbers. Had I actually had it set up, I would have likely been able to help identify the crooks since our driveways run side by side.
Nice read. I have a few cameras I put in myself and I was trying to see if I could get some better ideas on where to put them and how to use them. I ordered a few more. I will have a total of 7 around the exterior of my house as well as 2 inside. One will face the front door and one will face the back door. You can never be too safe these days. I just want my family to feel safe when I am away or at work.
Wireless is obviously easier to set up but I prefer wired. They feel more reliable and since my cable company who is bundled in with the internet seems to have issues when the weather gets iffy, I feel more peace of mind knowing I still am able to document things. I have my cameras hooked to a small computer and it saved video for me daily. I just have to clean it out once a week.
The system I recently got was so easy to get going I was blown away! Even my son and his girlfriend were impressed. I am not into technology like most people. I am probably one of few late 40 something to not have a smart phone. I feel like I need one now for monitoring on the go. I have the cameras set up to my wife's tablet for the time being.
Very easy to read and follow instructions. I recently ordered a few cameras on Amazon and having no prior knowledge I was so confused as to how to install them. They didn't come with instructions as I bough refurbished ones to save money. You will be my go to source for all things security cameras from now on.
Awesome post. I recently installed a wired security camera and it wasn't so bad. The wired ones take more effort due to well… the wires so wireless is preferred however more costly. I'll be leaning towards buying a wireless camera next time, however, I need to do more research on it. I'll be sure to read some more posts you have here! Great advice for homeowners and business owners who want some more security in their life! Thanks.
An outdoor security system with an indoor security system will set you on track for a well protected and monitored home security system. I have an outdoor system and it helps me feel safer at night and during the day! I get a lot of products from online shopping stores and boxes will be left outside my door. If somebody were ever to get sticky fingers and take any of my boxes, I'll be sure to report that video to the police!


This article is a summary of a longer one posted at http://tinyurl.com/911dewmu which has embedded links and reference to audio material and other evidence.
It is now clear that the real truth of 9/11 has been hidden by managing people's perception of the evidence relating to the events of that day. In the mainstream media, we have mainly heard stories of hijackers, planes, fires and building "collapses". Over the last 2 years, I have come to realise how a sophisticated perception management strategy is being operated within the 9/11 truth movement. One other author has also written about some general problems with the 9/11 Official Truth Movement. Additionally, I have written about how I think that key figures in what might be called the "9/11 Official Truth" movement seem to be involved in a mixture of "cover up" and "muddle up" regarding the discussion of and general conclusions about the most important 9/11-related evidence of all – which ultimately relates to what is known as "Free Energy" technology.
Accessing "Free Energy" means being able to extract useful energy from the environment, or from within materials themselves – without "burning" any fuel. Nikola Tesla called it "radiant energy" (as he proposed it was present everywhere – as sunlight is on a clear day). Others call it "vacuum energy" or "zero point energy" or even, perhaps, "orgone energy". Mainstream science usually states that "zero point energy" cannot be made to do useful work because that would violate certain laws of physics. Some experimental evidence does call this conclusion into question, however.
Here, I will attempt to show why I have concluded that there is a concentrated effort to draw attention away from the evidence that Dr. Judy Wood has discussed in her comprehensive pictorial studies posted at http://www.drjudywood.com/. A part of this effort involves repeated attempts to tarnish or discredit her reputation, probably because of the fact that Dr. Judy Wood has proposed that most of the WTC complex was destroyed using some type of Directed Energy Weapon. Related to this, there is an effort to play down or ignore the significance of Dr. Wood's Qui Tam case against NIST's contractors, some of whom (SAIC, ARA and Boeing) just happen to be involved in directed energy weapons research, assembly or manufacture.
More recently, Dr. Wood has posted studies that link the events of 9/11 to something known as the Hutchison Effect, and also to Hurricane Erin. Despite efforts to obfuscate and muddle up discussion of these studies, more and more people are becoming aware of them, not least because of Dr. Wood's appearance on several regular and reasonably well known non-internet radio programmes such as those of Rollye James and Richard Syrett.
The new "muddling" tactic seems to be to blame HAARP for the destruction of the World Trade Centre Complex and simply pretend that Dr. Judy Wood – and half of the research she has completed - does not exist!
A later part of the study examines some of the data relating to patterns of earthquakes in 2008 and possibly associated unusual weather patterns, which may be related to secret or partially disclosed environmental modification technology (such as HAARP). However, the study does not establish any clear links between HAARP and the events in New York on 9/11.
Now we consider recent actions by Alfred Webre, an International Lawyer, peace and environmental activist, prominent in the naissant field of Exopolitics, and Leuren Moret - a Geoscientist who has travelled the world to discuss and expose the dangers of radioactive contamination caused by the use of Depleted Uranium in modern artillery shells.
How could these 2 people, who have seemingly worked hard to get disclosure of the truth in their respective fields, possibly become negatively involved in the matter of discussing Dr. Judy Wood's 9/11 research?
3. Shift to new breakthrough energy technologies - moving beyond petroleum and nuclear which are the principal tools of the war crimes organisation - to breakthrough fuel-less non-polluting zero point energy technologies that are now sequestered in the National Security State.
However, Webre omits, at that point the words, "to effects seen in John Hutchison's ongoing experiments," as it clearly states in the press release.
The next development in this story took place a few months later when, on November 14th 2008, Alfred Webre and Leuren Moret appeared on Sofia Smallstorm's "Expansion" programme on RBN (Internet). Leuren Moret is introduced as a Geoscientist and Alfred Webre as an "international lawyer". (i.e. neither speaker shares technical qualifications equivalent to those of Dr. Judy Wood). Just over half way through this interview, the following exchange took place.
Without… without referring to Judy Wood – in your own words – why do you think HAARP caused it?
Leuren Moret then repeatedly mentions "the energy budget" and that a "large" or "massive" amount of energy would be required to "basically powder[ise] those buildings". Webre mentions nothing of his earlier interview with Dr Judy Wood and John Hutchison – which was very much related to the energy issue.
In the interview, why is Leuren Moret so focused on "the energy budget" for what happened at the WTC? HAARP is a disclosed facility and its energy budget should be known or able to be known – in relatively specific terms. Leuren Moret does not give any figures for HAARP's power consumption, nor does she attempt to quantify the energy used to destroy the WTC. She quotes no figures – at all.
If HAARP was used to destroy the WTC, wouldn't someone from the HAARP facility know this? If Moret thinks they would not know this, then why didn't she describe or suggest how or why HAARP's operation on 9/11 was covered up? Indeed, Moret provides no evidence that HAARP was even operational on 9/11.
What particular expertise or knowledge qualifies Moret to be certain that HAARP was used on 9/11 to destroy the WTC?
Why does Leuren Moret not comment on Alfred Webre's instruction to her to "not mention Dr. Judy Wood"?
Leuren Moret mixes up laser technology and HAARP - she says that she witnessed a demonstration of the Shiva laser – but she does not describe any links at all between this project and HAARP. (She mentions Micro-nukes too). Is Leuren Moret confused about this, or is she trying to confuse the audience?
In relation to the energy issue, why doesn't Webre mention any aspects of his discussion with Dr. Judy Wood and John Hutchison from the February 2008 interview?
If Moret is sure that HAARP destroyed the WTC, then why didn't she propose some action in relation to this conclusion or "proof"? For example, Dr. Wood has compiled her evidence into a Qui Tam case against NIST's contractors.
This programme contains a very similar discussion to that given on Sofia's "Expansion" programme on the 14th of November - Dr Wood's research is discussed in some detail, but her name is not mentioned nor are her "Hutchison Effect" or Hurricane Erin studies.
Listeners should contact Leuren Moret, Dr. Judy Wood and John Hutchinson directly with regard to any questions as to content, conclusions and overlap.
Does Moret or Webre think "overlap" is a fair term to describe the way in which the evidence - compiled by Dr. Judy Wood and some of it posted for over 2 years on her website(s) - was taken and discussed by Moret for almost 3 hours (1 hour on 17th Nov, referenced above, and 2 hours on Sofia's broadcast on the 21st Nov, referenced below) without any reference or credit to Dr. Wood?
On November 21st 2008, Alfred Webre and Leuren Moret again appeared on Sofia Smallstorm's "Expansion" programme on RBN (Internet). At 40:06, Webre then HAARP again and links HAARP to 9/11, but two large problems soon become apparent in the ensuing monologues Moret.
The first is that again, Leuren Moret uses no science or analysis to directly or even indirectly link the points of evidence she discusses to any of the disclosed or suspected capabilities of the HAARP array. The second problem is that the detailed catalogue of evidence she recounts is, without exception, the list compiled by Dr. Judy Wood, one to two years before the airdate of this broadcast. Reference is made without mention of Dr. Wood's name, website, or any of the additional important studies she has compiled.
Having considered and analysed the evidence here, I can only sensibly draw the following (likely unpopular) conclusions.
There has been a deliberate and co-ordinated attempt to marginalise or even cut out Dr. Judy Wood's name from the discussion of 9/11 evidence and research. This includes attempts to "take ownership" of her research and misquote and misuse it.
There has been a deliberate attempt to cover up and/or muddle up the specific nature or characteristics of the Directed Energy Weapon or Weapons which were used at the WTC on 9/11, by excluding discussion of John Hutchison's experiments in relation to key 9/11 evidence.
There has been a deliberate attempt to cover up and/or muddle up the evidence which strongly indicates a link between real "free energy" technology or technologies that have been weaponised and were used on 9/11.
There is a great reluctance to discuss specific legal action in relation to 9/11 – especially Dr. Wood's Qui Tam case against NIST's contractors.
Advanced Directed Energy Weapon technology - which exploits "free energy" in a way similar to that discovered by John Hutchison - was used on 9/11 to destroy most of the WTC complex – as Dr. Wood studies, the first of which was posted in September 2006, have been documenting.
So, how will the "average person" know how to discern which Scientist is being truthful and, from the evidence, which one has drawn the most accurate conclusions? Once a scientist has repeatedly demonstrated their choice to be dishonest, have they not destroyed their own credibility? How do you know when a liar is telling the truth and when they are not?
To re-emphasise, I conclude that all the evidence documented above (and elsewhere) strongly suggests or even proves that there is a wish to cover up knowledge of Hurricane Erin's presence on 9/11 and its likely role in the field matrix which was in place in NYC on that day. More importantly, what will you conclude?
"Yes, the Internet can be used for something other than extracting value and data from human beings. Rob Kall is here to show us how to leverage the power of networks to actually network."


At present the Air Ministry has not laid down any definite scale of strength for the R.A.F. Reserve, but it is hoped that in two or three years' time the Reserve will consist of some 700 officers and 12,000 men. It may be stated, however, that several hundreds of officers are wanted at once, in the classes indicated above. The cost of the Reserve will naturally depend on its strength, but it is thought that with the system adopted for training and practice the cost will be quite moderate, and at any rate it is not, we under- stand, expected to exceed £250,000. The period of enrolment in the R.A.F. Reserve will be three to five years, in the case of Classes A and AA ; four years' initial enrolment for Class B ; and a minimum of three years and a maximum of five years in Class BB. Candidates selected for commissions in Class A will be entered in the Reserve when arrangements have been made for them to undergo a re-qualifying course in flying, unless they can prove that recent experience in flying renders such a course unnecessary. Details of this course are not yet settled, but negotiations are proceeding with a view to establish four civilian schools in various parts of the country at which candidates would undergo a course of about one month's duration, or, at any rate, not exceeding two months. All officers will be regarded as on probation until they have passed their re-qualifying course, after which they will be confirmed in their appointments. Candidates selected for commissions in Class AA will be entered at once as Pilot officers on probation. If satisfactory, they will be confirmed in their ap- pointments when they have completed six months in the Reserve. We understand that the four civilian schools whose services it is hoped to enlist are the de Haviland Aircraft Co., at Stag Lane ; the Bristol Aeroplane Co. at Felton ; Armstrong-Siddeley's at Coventry and Beardmore's at Glasgow. The arrangements are, however, not completed yet. Officers of Classes B and BB will be liable to undergo a technical course lasting two weeks in each year, and to pass a medium standard re-qualifying examination at the end of the course. On the question of pay, we understand that officers of the Reserve will receive the same pay and allow- ances as officers of corresponding rank in the R.A.F. Subject to complying with the regulations as to training, etc., officers will be paid annual retainers which in the case of Classes A and AA have been fixed, at £30 per annum, and for Classes B and BB at £20 per annum. These are, briefly, the lines upon which the R.A.F. Reserve is being built up, and it is gratifying to find that the Air Ministry has now taken practical steps towards ensuring the establishment of a link between the personnel of the R.A.F. and civil life. Not only so, but it is hoped and expected that a great pro- portion of the officers of the Reserve will be drawn from civil life. This begins to promise effect to that particular function of civil aviation which is not its least valuable asset : that of forming a Reserve to the R.A.F. much as does the Mercantile Marine in the case of the Navy. • • •. .. The Third Air Conference is now a thmg Conference °* tne Past> an<^ tne question naturally arises : What has been accomplished ? Personally, we feel that somehow this year's Con- ference was more promising than previous ones. For FEBRUARY 15, 1923 one thing, the papers did not give rise to discussions that ought to have been held at the Royal Aeronautical Society. That is something in the way of improve- ment. For all that, we think Mr. Holt Thomas, as usual, hit the nail on the head when he said that the Air Conference was not meant to be a committee of experts, but was intended to attract business men. In ' other words, the real object of the Air Conference should be to afford business men an opportunity of finding out what commercial aviation can do for them. Of that, it is to be feared, little has been accomplished, and we may as well frankly admit that this is due, in no small measure, to the fact that we, the aviation community, do not ourselves know what are the possibilities of aviation. Sir Henry White Smith pleaded for facility for firms to do research work, and stated that at the moment we really do not know what'is a commercial aeroplane. Although relatively little attention was given to this subject, it is one which plays, an extraordinarily important part in the future development of com- mercial aviation, and to us it seems that, without exception, members who spoke at the Conference failed to realise this fundamental problem. There is little doubt that with four services in operation this year much will be learned, but we are frankly afraid that the design of commercial aircraft will not benefit greatly. Owing to the fact that the London-Paris service has been, with the exception of a few months towards the end of last year, the one upon which we concen- trated, there has been no visible attempt at finding specialised aircraft. Excellent types have been evolved, but they have been handicapped by the fact that they were so designed as to be capable of accommodating any sort of load. To our way of thinking this is a mistake. It will probably be found that, in order to get maximum efficiency, machines should be specially designed for the work to be done. Thus, it can be imagined that one type will be intended solely for mails. This type will be fast, as speed is of first importance. It will not, at first, need to be large, and it will have but one occupant—the pilot. It is fairly certain that a pilot, knowing that he has no passengers on board, will get through even in very bad weather conditions. With more en- couragement from the G.P.O. the mail aeroplane would have been an accomplished fact. The second type we have in mind is for passengers only, and will probably be a development of the present type, with increased comfort for the passengers and any safety device that tends towards greatest freedom from mishap. The third type will be designed for goods and parcels, and designs have already been got out which promise to produce machines affording a maximum of convenience in loading and unloading. This type need not be so fast as the two previous ones, and should be capable of very great economy in carrying much greater useful loads per horse power than the mail 'plane, and considerably greater than the passenger carriers, in which upholstery, heating apparatus, wireless, etc., run away with such a large percentage. If due consideration is given, at next year's Air Conference, to points such as these, we think that better progress will be made. It is, perhaps, too much to hope that machines of these types may be put on the services during the present year so that the experience may be available when next we meet at the Guildhall.


Bet's latest CD is a stunning, heartbreaking, mind-blowing collection of highly original alt rock-folk-pop songs. Along with producer John Hodian, Bet pulled out all the stops on this cd and came up with a multi-colored production pallet of backwards loops, string quartets, accordions, calliope's and guitars.
Along with some of New York's finest studio musicians, Bet sounds like a high energy, psychedelic, funked up, soulful version of Joni Mitchell.


Will Smith is no stranger to playing real-life characters. "I have played Ali—Muhammad Ali in Ali. I played Chris Gardner in The Pursuit of Happyness and now Dr. Bennet Omalu in Concussion," Smith remarks. He admits the experience of playing a real person is "terrifying." He reluctantly jokes, "cause you know one day you're going to be sitting in a movie theater with the person as they watch you butcher their life." However, Smith acknowledges that portraying genuine people does play into his "strong suits." For Smith's latest film, Concussion, which hits theaters Christmas Day, he steps into the shoes of Dr. Bennet Omalu, a role that Smith admits has "a certain weight that stays with [you]".
To prepare for the role Smith studied Dr. Bennet Omalu, the Nigerian American forensic pathologist who is credited with taking on the National Football League by addressing the impact of concussions on American football players. After seeing similar signs, the doctor discovers chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE-a degenerative brain disease caused by repetitive brain trauma found in numerous players). Smith explains, "I met Bennet, his friends, his family. We sat and talked for hours. I rode in his car with him and listened to the music he listens to." He even observed him at work, "I watched him completely dismantle multiple human bodies." Smith remarks, "watching Bennet doing an autopsy, I think was the most powerful insight [to him]. There is music playing and [he] refers to them as his patients."
"In terms of shaking off the role, it was heavy. We were shooting in Pittsburgh so every day the family members of the deceased players would be there. So we were really immersed into the emotional weight of what was going on. It took me a while. "I think there was one day—it was a Friday, and I had seen three autopsies and I just wanted to keep going, because I knew it was something that Bennet would do every day.
So I think it was 2 o'clock or something like that, and we called and the morgue said sorry there are no [more] bodies and [so] you guys can come in on Monday morning. But by 8 am on Saturday morning, they had 3 bodies and there [we] were at 2 pm on Friday afternoon, they had no idea that their autopsies were going to be done at 8 am. You remember it was this girl and she had a cover on her arm that she had just gotten a tattoo. It was a fresh tattoo, you know, and it was just that constant barrage of the reality of the fragility of humanity. It took a very heavy toll on me."
Smith shares that the role of Bennet has forever changed his views on football. "My son is a football player and so as a parent I had no idea that this was even an issue." Given what Smith knows now he admits, "there was that fear [which] came in."
Smith also recalls meeting people who have been directly connected with Bennet's story. "Two weeks ago I met Junior Seau's daughter (Linebacker Seau suffered from CTE before committing suicide in 2012) for the first time and she was with the mother of the youngest high school player who committed suicide because of CTE." He confesses, "so there is a weight when you do something like this."
"I think it is beautiful; you can't unseen the beauty. I haven't watched a game this season. I am not avoiding it...but [I] can't see the repetitive sub-concussive blows. Once you know it's there it like one of those—magic eyes (once you see it, you can't help but see it). So now when I am seeing it [a football game], I am now seeing not just the big hits— it is the things that are happening off the ball. You know the running back goes by, but the guy behind him falls and his head hits another guy's knee. Now seeing all of those things makes it much more of an elaborate sport for me...it also makes me respect the guys that much more. It definitely does change the game forever when you have an understanding scientifically what happens when a brain collides with a human skull."
Smith is quick to point out that this movie is much more than a football story or an attack on football. "There are a couple of things in this film that I feel are [powerful], which have [very little if] anything to do with football. I think there are ideas in this film about the truth," he says. "One of the things that was really interesting in talking to Bennet about, is he never gets his head around how not knowing was better than knowing." Smith concedes the film tackles the issue of knowing the truth, "there are ideas around the difficulty and the pain of saying and hearing what is real."
Smith wants audiences to know that the film is much more than a story about truth, the NFL and its players, or even one man's journey to take on a major corporation in this David and Goliath film. Smith embraces the film's message of what it means to be an American and acknowledges life's ironies. He shares that the film is about, "Doctor Omalu being an immigrant, coming into this country, and the irony of having to be the person who discovers the brain disease that the players get in America's favorite game and...the courage to keep going." He describes, these are the "concepts around the American dream [and] the ideals that have built this country."

Q: Using ZMQ within Cython I've gotten ZMQ to work in .py files but I want to use it in a cython class but have not figure out how to import the right library in to .pyx files. Example:
import zmq
from zmq.backend.cython.socket cimport Socket
from zmq.backend.cython.context import Context

cdef class MyClass:

    cdef public str tick_port
    cdef public Socket socket
    cdef public Context context

    def __cinit__(self,tick_port):

        self.tick_port = tick_port

        self.context = zmq.Context()
        self.socket = self.context.socket(zmq.SUB)
        self.socket.setsockopt(zmq.SUBSCRIBE, b"")  # Note.

    def StartData(self):
        ''' market data comes in here '''
        self.socket.connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:" + str(self.tick_port))
        while True:
            tick_message = self.socket.recv_json()
            print("Data: " + str(tick_message))
            #self.OnTick(eval(tick_message))

how do you correctly declare and define various zmq variables within cython? so I still create context and socket objects like in python? Lots of newbie question but I couldn't find anything from googling "how to use zmq in cython".
for example when compiling the above I get error:
C attribute of type '<error>' cannot be accessed from pythong.
Thanks,

A: Things to note:

*

*As mentioned in comments by user DavidW, it appears the Cython code utilizes Python objects & therefore using the Cython module directly from Cython doesn't benefit from possible speedups & releasing the GIL, etc. So just using cdef object context = zmq.Context() and cdef object socket = context.Socket(...) (etc.) is a fine way to go. If you wanted to speed things up or achieve total releasing of the Python GIL within a function, you might need to wrap/call the CZMQ or libzmq libraries from your own Cython code.

*You can still do what you were trying to do above & use the Cython types from Cython code. However:

*

*As mentioned by user ead in comments, you have to cimport Context similar to how you cimport-ed Socket

*The Socket and Context types within zmq.backend.cython have different interfaces from the high-level zmq.Socket and zmq.Context classes. You will have to look at the code in the corresponding .pyx files for full details, but for the example above:

*

*The Cython Context class has no socket method. You have to instantiate a Socket manually, and the first argument is context=..., which you will use to specify the Context you instantiated prior.

*The Cython Socket class has no setsockopt method, but does have an equivalent set method.

*The Cython Socket class has no recv_json method, so you will have to use recv and then convert the returned value to JSON using another library.

See files context.pyx and socket.pyx in the codebase here: https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/tree/main/zmq/backend/cython
A corrected version of your code follows:
import zmq
from zmq.backend.cython.socket cimport Socket
from zmq.backend.cython.context cimport Context

cdef class MyClass:

    cdef public str tick_port
    cdef public Socket socket
    cdef public Context context

    def __cinit__(self,tick_port):

        self.tick_port = tick_port

        self.context = Context()
        self.socket = Socket(self.context, zmq.SUB)
        self.socket.set(zmq.SUBSCRIBE, b"")  # Note.

    def StartData(self):
        ''' market data comes in here '''
        self.socket.connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:" + str(self.tick_port))
        while True:
            tick_message = self.socket.recv()
            print("Data: " + str(tick_message))
            #self.OnTick(eval(tick_message))

What is the weather in Ladakh like?
The weather in Ladakh can be extreme. The summers are harsh with direct sunlight at such high altitudes and the winters are cold with the temperatures dropping below the freezing point. From May to September, the day temperature is a pleasant 16-25 oC and the night temperature can be around 3-10 oC. For the rest of the year, the temperatures are generally freezing.
How long does it take to get acclimatized in Ladakh?
It varies from person to person. Ideally, it takes around 1-2 days for people to get acclimatized in Ladakh. It usually takes more time for people flying into Leh since their body suddenly faces a change in altitude. On the other hand, when your taking a road trip to Ladakh, it is easier to acclimatize because you are slowly ascending towards high altitudes.
How fit should we be for a trip to Ladakh?
As you will be travelling to extremely high altitudes, it is recommended that you prepare yourself by doing some cardio exercises or activities for a few days prior to your trip. This will help you avoid feeling breathlessness during the trip. If possible, also practice some breathing exercises to increase your lung capacity.
