Since 2002 we have been restoring, repairing and decorating timber sash windows and doors. We use the best available technologies, materials and techniques to not only restore your tired and worn sashes back to their original glory, but also to improve their thermal efficiency and usability. Over the last 10 years we have been servicing, improving and reconditioning windows and doors, providing our customers with warm and comfortable living and working environments.
From small domestic improvements to larger commercial renovations our goal remains the same, a quality service and reliable workmanship at competitive prices. Our qualified craftsmen have had years of experience with sash windows and take pride in their work. CR Carpentry has grown as a business almost exclusively on the strength of recommendations from past clients, a testament to our exceptional results and customer service.
We have worked on a huge range of properties from Grade 1 and Grade 2 listed buildings, numerous London schools and commercial buildings, as well as hundreds of domestic properties.
We pride ourselves on giving you the full sash restoration service. This means we will take your existing sashes and make any necessary repairs or modernisation (including draught proofing, supply and installation of Slimlite double glazing, installation of security features) and provide a full decoration service, all of this work is done at the same time to reduce the times that your property is disrupted to get the full job done. We will then return when the putty has cured armed only with paint brushes and ladders to apply the final exterior coats of paint. This can be achieved by our mixed team of carpenters and decorators who will perform both services simultaneously, unlike a lot of sash restoration businesses who will perform only the carpentry and glazing elements of the project, leaving your sashes unprotected from the elements, whilst you have to book your own decorators resulting in additional cost and disruption. From the initial survey, to cleaning up thoroughly when our work is done, the friendly and reliable CR Carpentry team will be there from start to finish until you are completely happy with the project.
As sash restoration specialists we understand the importance of your property's original features, and strive to restore your existing period windows, retaining their character while improving functionality. Problem areas are fully repaired using traditional carpentry methods and quality materials, giving your windows a new lease of life. We at CR Carpentry believe this is a much superior option to seeing 150 year old windows sent to landfill, only to be replaced with cheaply made quick-grown timber replacements that might only last 10 years.
All of our team, and any subcontractors working for CR Carpentry, have full public liability insurance up to £2,000,000 damage and £10,000,000 legal, as well as full enhanced CRB checks.
We strive to give an accurate timescale for your project, usually allowing a 2 day tolerance for start and completion times.
Having worked on literally thousands of windows, we have seen everything. If there are repairs required to turn your sashes around, our team can do them.
We guarantee all aspects of our work, giving you peace of mind that your sashes and doors will be draught proof and effortless to operate (please see the FAQ page for further details).
From start to finish your property and possessions will be looked after. Dust sheets and protective floor covers are used in all working areas, and rooms are left clean and dust free upon completion.
Where possible the dusty aspects of the job are done outside, reducing the noise and dust inside. At the end of the job all waste is removed leaving you to enjoy the warmth and comfort of your fully restored home.
We offer an all year round service using gazebo and canopy cover to do the job in hand. So whatever the weather, CR Carpentry can get the job done.

Q: Push an array of objects by it's value to another array I am getting unexpected results from my below program. Both inputs and outputs arrays are getting same value. Somehow from this I got to know that it's the problem of passing a reference. My question is how can I achieve the same with below approach. Appreciate your time.

Expecting inputs array to be [[{id: 1, name: 'foo'}, {id: 2, name: 'bar'}], [{id: 1, name: 'foo'}]]

var inputs = [];
var outputs = [];
var exampleArr = [{id: 1, name: 'foo'}, {id: 2, name: 'bar'}];

function analyze(listArr) {
    inputs.push(...listArr);

    outputs = [...outputs, ...listArr];

    outputs.forEach((item) => {
        item.name = 'hello';
    });

    console.log('inputs', inputs);
    console.log('ouputs', outputs);
    listArr.pop();
    if(listArr.length) analyze(listArr);
}

analyze(exampleArr);

A: Clone all objects in listArr (one nesting level only) before appending to outputs.

var inputs = [];
var outputs = [];
var exampleArr = [{id: 1, name: 'foo'}, {id: 2, name: 'bar'}];

function analyze(listArr) {
    inputs.push(...listArr);

    // clone objects in array, one level
    outputs = [...outputs, ...listArr.map(x=>typeof x==='object'? {...x}:x)];

    outputs.forEach((item) => {
        item.name = 'hello';
    });

    console.log('inputs', inputs);
    console.log('ouputs', outputs);
    listArr.pop();
    if(listArr.length) analyze(listArr);
}

analyze(exampleArr);

Paul Esherwood Thoroughly proud editor of a little start-up called ERP Today
Throughout 2020, ERP Today will be tracking the fortunes of M Group Services as they transition from a multitude of legacy systems to the Oracle cloud. With unprecedented access to the inner-workings of an enterprise level project, ERP Today will chart the progress of the project with four detailed reports – the first part of which includes the business case rationale, vendor selection, implementation partner selection and contract negotiation (procurement). Graeme Cross (project director) and Martin Beesley (CFO) spoke exclusively to Paul Esherwood about the business case for the project, the considerations in selecting a vendor and implementation partner, and set out the predicated benefits of a significant investment in new technology and infrastructure.
M Group Services (MGS) is the holding company that umbrellas the activities of more than a dozen utilities, engineering, infrastructure, transport, and telecoms entities. It is a private enterprise, owned by PAI Partners since 2018 and has grown significantly through a series of acquisitions. Group revenues top £1.2bn and it directly employs more than 9,000 people along with a further 9,000 contractors.
ERP Today has been on the look-out for a suitable candidate for this four-part case study for a while. Following the highs and lows of an ERP project will give other ERP customers valuable insight into the decision making processes behind each stage of the journey and hopefully offer-up some important lessons that they can take into their own projects.
However, my initial thought was MGS would be unlikely to have the ingredients to make for a great project or a compelling story. The history books are bursting with failed IT projects in this sector and the evolving shape of MGS, as it continued to make acquisitions during the project, meant that it had the potential for significant complexity. The board is hardly a picture of diversity and it's not uncommon for businesses that traditionally 'do stuff with their hands' to have fairly luddite views. Not exactly the recipe for progressive and dynamic decision making. Or so I thought.
The reality at MGS could not be further from my original misplaced conceptions. The management team exhibit all of the characteristics required for a successful enterprise transformation project and they have approached the initiative with openness, modesty and a clear vision from the start. If they didn't know something they admitted it and found someone they could trust to advise them. They went out and spoke to other CxOs who had been in similar situations and asked for advice and tried to learn from their experiences; they brought in external experts to help shape and define the programme and governance structure; they partnered with an organisation that could provide insight into the inner-workings of the technology vendor to ensure they got the best deal; and they engaged with market leaders to tackle each element of the project.
We were moving from a burning platform – we knew we had to get off our finance, hr, and payroll systems
Lumenia is an expert authority on vendor selection, programme governance and project planning. Evosys has brought more customers to the Oracle cloud than any other partner globally. Egress has completed more successful DM projects than any other data migration specialist in the UK. And finally, in Searchlight, they found a partner that understood Oracle and its intricacies helping them shape an agreement that provided the flexibility it needed to deal with an evolving landscape.
Ultimately we found a partner in evosys that really understood what we were trying to do
Buy-in for the project
Without buy-in from the top your project can't succeed. And if you don't win hearts and minds with the rank and file you are investing in something that will never reach its potential. Engaging stakeholders at the earliest phase will ensure that your project has the momentum it needs to power through the difficult moments and MGS identified this from the outset and ensured that the project had the full weight of its employees behind it.
Beesely said: "We were moving from a burning platform – well, almost burning platform. We knew we had to get off our finance, HR, and payroll systems so the business case was really won on that alone. But we didn't feel that was good enough and we wanted to add more value into the business case. The stakeholders from within the business were involved early so they didn't perceive this as something that has been to done to them. They're actually part of it. The focus has been about reducing the admin burden, providing better reporting, an increased focus on value-add activities. All the things that most stakeholders and users really appreciate.
"We've done quite a lot of workshops to move people from 'we can't because' to 'we could if' and in some cases it's been quite stormy, but ultimately they accept that the system is the system. It's a standard process. It works in a way that is considered best practice and they understand what they need to do to adopt that process."
Legacy landscape
MGS' legacy landscape included a core Mentor solution for finance, HR.net for human resources and payroll and a collection of other products and platforms that had been integrated and bolted on either through acquisitions or to enhance the core applications. The Mentor system was more than 20 years old and over time, like many other legacy systems, it had been heavily customised. Significant technical debt had built up and MGS was struggling to get any value from it.
The HR.net solution was also more than a decade old and it too had become weighed-down by an escalation in data volumes and an increasingly complex payroll. ADP acquired HR.net back in 2010 and all but stopped investing in the platform shortly after. With no new functionality on the horizon and a solution that was barely able to keep pace with the business demands, MGS decided that it would look for an integrated HR and finance provider to deliver its future technology platform.
Cross said: "Most of the group was using finance systems that were twenty-five years old. It was literally a green screen that they'd made work on a PC, so it doesn't even work with a mouse, but it did the job for us and we used that for payroll too. We could have done upgrades on Mentor but there wasn't an upgrade HR.net. We realised we were on very old legacy systems that wouldn't support ambitious growth and it would be a backward step for most of the companies that we were acquiring to put them on our failing platforms.
"In December 2017 I got board approval to go ahead and review the market place. We engaged with Lumenia early and they worked with the businesses to help shape the requirements. They ran a series of workshops long before the tender process and that helped identify other opportunities where the proposed new technology could add some additional value."
In addition to the finance and HR solutions MGS also runs a number of other systems that support workforce management, work scheduling, fleet and asset management, and stock management. The decision was taken early to leave these non-core systems out of the scope of the new ERP in order to ensure that the core solution was delivered as quickly as possible and with minimal disruption to the business.
That has been invaluable as we haven't got any wastage and we won't be paying for stuff that we're not using
Too often, ERP customers (especially ones that have not taken on an enterprise-scale project in the past) rush to replace everything at once – usually on the advice of the vendor who is all too keen to sell the full arsenal on day one. A circumspect approach to deciding what is in scope and what is out of scope is a key milestone in building a solid business case and project plan and MGS' decision to focus on 'what is most important' is a lesson many other ERP customer can learn from.
Vendor Selection
In some cases the vendor choice is somewhat determined by the type of business sector in which you operate. In other cases there will be a much broader set of applications that could be suitable. MGS is pretty much in the middle of both scenarios. It is an enterprise with sales of more than £1bn so it is likely that some of the smaller vendors would not be able support all of the business' needs. It is vertically focussed to an extent but it isn't a pure play telco or utilities business where the options may be more defined. MGS needed a technology partner that could meet the broad operating units' requirements, provide the scale that supported its growth ambitions, and implement an integrated solution. They chose Oracle Cloud Applications.
Cross said: "We did a beauty parade, took references, and did all the usual things you have to do. We filtered it down from a long list to a short list of two, IFS and Oracle. In the end we went with Oracle because it was an integrated platform. IFS came in with CoreHR and did a great job, a very good job individually, but they didn't convince us that they would work together during the implementations to make the join seamless. I felt that would remain our problem to effectively get two suppliers to work collaboratively together and I thought that it might actually result in delays to the implementation."
Implementation partner
Choosing an implementation partner is a bit like getting married. It used to be that the technology partner was your spouse but today they are more like your sibling – it's a lifelong commitment and you are unlikely to ever build a rational business case for switching sides. Whereas your implementation partner is someone you will do your best to get on with but you know there are other options if things don't work out. That said, like in marriage, choosing wisely is at a premium – making a mistake with your implementation partner can be costly in terms of time and money. Continuing the relationship theme; it's all about culture and fit. You have to find a partner that talks your language, that you get on with, that understands you, and ultimately makes you happy. All of the SIs offer a good service – some are differentiated by unique specialisms – but in the main they all do the same thing, just in slightly different ways. Anyone who has had more than one relationship in their personal life will understand the analogy. Think carefully about who you choose to lie down with. The technology always works but it's the magic between the customer and the partner that often determines success or failure.
If you've not done it before it can be a daunting prospect negotiating a deal with one of the world's biggest tech companies
Cross said: "Originally we were going to go with Inoapps. They'd been introduced to us by Oracle so they were the package. Evosys came in December 2018 and it was a recommendation that I got from another CIO who had been involved with a large Oracle project. The main complexity was that we pay 9,000 contingent workers. We have CIS and difficult taxation to deal with and Oracle out of the box doesn't support that very well. We needed an extension to deal with it; Inoapps had a solution and Evosys had another. We set out all the pros and cons in a document and circulated to our key stakeholders and it was pretty much unanimous. I was quite surprised, but then the two methodology were very different as well. Inoapps did a great job but ultimately we found a partner in Evosys that really understood what we were trying to do. Their approach of putting 'boots on the ground' gave our FDs and senior stakeholders the comfort they needed and it's been a great collaboration so far."
It's very common for the bill of materials (BOM, the document that sets out what you agree to buy from the vendor) to include all of the licences and environments that you will need at the peak of utilisation. In reality, that peak may never be reached or it will be a slow process ramping up to it. Customers that do not include some flex in the BOM will most likely end up paying for everything from day one and if the scope changes and you need to buy more of something you will still have to pay for the stuff you aren't using. Remember, you don't pay for what you use you pay for what you provision. Dealing with any technology vendor can be challenging, and with Oracle even more so than others. They are hardened sales professionals that are expert at selling as much of their kit as possible. That doesn't mean you don't need their kit or they are mis-selling their products, but as you can read in the aforementioned article on vendor selection 'you will be dealing with professionals who sell to people like you every day – and they're very good at it'.
Cross said: "We engaged another external expert, a company called Searchlight, to help us navigate the contractual negotiations with Oracle. If you've not done it before it can be a daunting prospect negotiating a deal with one of the world's biggest tech companies. They knew where the bottom was in terms of price and came up with some things that I wouldn't have thought about putting into the contract. We've negotiated the right to tear up the bill of materials in favour of a 'price holder' which effectively means we commit the same amount of money but we can flex how we spend it.
And for us that has been invaluable as we haven't got any wastage and we won't be paying for stuff that we're not using. If you've not dealt with Oracle before all of the modules can be baffling. I know what I want to get out of it as a business but what do I actually need? Having Searchlight help us navigate that and say, 'right, okay, I know exactly what you do and don't need' has been invaluable."
What has been achieved so far
As far as foundations go, MGS has made a tremendous job of setting themselves up to succeed. I phrase it that way because all too often new ERP customers stack the deck heavily against themselves by making fundamental mistakes from the outset. As Tom Calder sets out in his excellent 'The ERP Jungle' article elsewhere in this issue, following some basic steps, having a set of guiding principles – and sticking to them – is the bedrock of success. Rushing in, not gaining executive sponsorship, inadequate documentation, poor contract negotiation, lack of engagement from within the business, and dare I sat it – ego, are all basic issues that thwart many projects.
To date, MGS has run more than 83 design workshops, nearly 150 CRPs (conference room pilots – meetings used to test scenarios for the new solution) and involved more than 200 employees in the decision-making processes. At the time of the first interview they had met all of their milestones and were underway with the design phase of the project. By the time you read this, save for any disasters, some of the functionality will already have been built and in a few short weeks the first phase of HR and payroll will start to be rolled out into the business.
In the next instalment of this series we will look more closely at the second key stage in any ERP project; requirements and design. Whilst
many of the high-level requirements for the overarching solution will already have been identified – in fact they will have been determined in the original business case – the gathering of functional requirements is a different story altogether. We will get much closer to the Evosys team over the next few weeks and interrogate their approach to the design phase. Tune in next issue for an update on the progress and observations on the next critical stage in MGS' journey to the Oracle cloud.

INTELLECTUAL TURBIDITY.
IN speaking of "intellectual turbidity" as a Chinese characteristic, we do not wish to be understood as affirming it to be a peculiarity of the Chinese, or that all Chinese possess it. Taken as a whole, the Chinese people seem abundantly able to hold their own with any race now extant, and they certainly exhibit no weakness of the intellectual powers, nor any tendency to such a weakness. At the same time it must be borne in mind that education in China is restricted to a very narrow circle, and that those who are but imperfectly educated, or who are not educated at all, enjoy in the structure of the Chinese language what is called by the lawyers an "accessory before the fact" to any most flagrant intellectual turbidity of which they may be disposed to be guilty.
Chinese nouns, as is by this time known to several, appear to be indeclinable. They are quite free from "gender" and "case." Chinese adjectives have no degrees of comparison. Chinese verbs are not hampered by any "voice," "mode," "tense," "number," or "person." There is no recognisable distinction between nouns, adjectives, and verbs, for any character may be used indiscriminately in either capacity (or incapacity), and no questions asked. We are not about to complain that the Chinese language cannot be made to convey human thought, nor that there are wide ranges of human thought which it is difficult or impossible to render intelligible in the Chinese language (though this appears to be a truth), but only to insist that such a language, so constructed, invites to "intellectual turbidity" as the incandescent heats of summer gently woo to afternoon repose.
Nothing is more common in conversation with an unedu- cated Chinese than to experience extreme difficulty in ascer- taining what he is talking about. At times his remarks appear to consist exclusively of predicates, which are woven together in an intricate manner, the whole mass seeming, like Moham- med's coffin, to hang in the air, attached to nothing whatever. To the mind of the speaker, the omission of a nominative is a point of no consequence. He knows what he is talking about, and it never occurs to him that this somewhat important item of information is not conveyed to the mind of his auditor by any kind of intuition. It is remarkable what expert guessers long practice has made most Chinese, in reading a meaning into words which do not convey it, by the simple practice of supplying subjects or predicates as they happen to be lacking. It is often the most important word in the whole sentence which is suppressed, the clue to which may be entirely un- known. There is very frequently nothing in the form of the sentences, the manner of the speaker, his tone of voice, nor in any concomitant circumstance, to indicate that the subject has changed, and yet one suddenly discovers that the speaker is not now speaking of himself as he was a moment ago, but of his grandfather, who lived in the days of Tao Kuang. How the speaker got there, and also how he got back again, often remains an insoluble mystery, but we see the feat accom- plished every day. To a Chinese there is nothing more re- markable in a sudden, invisible leap, without previous notice, from one topic, one person, one century to another, than in the ability of a man who is watching an insect on the window- pane to observe at the same time and without in the least de- flecting his eyes, a herd of cattle situated in the same line of vision on a distant hill.
The fact that Chinese verbs have no tenses, and that there is nothing to mark transitions of time, or indeed of place, does not tend to clarify one's perceptions of the inherently turbid. Under such circumstances the best the poor foreigner can do, who wishes to keep up the appearance at least of following in the train of the vanished thought, is to begin a series of cate- chetical inquiries, like a frontier hunter "blazing" his way through a pathless forest with a hatchet. "Who was this person that you are talking about now?" This being ascer- tained, it is possible to proceed to inquire, "Where was this?" "When was it?" "What was it that this man did?" "What was it that they did about it?" "What happened then?" At each of these questions your Chinese friend gazes at you with a bewildered and perhaps an appealing look, as if in doubt whether you have not parted with all your five senses. But a persistent pursuit of this silken thread of categorical inquiry will make it the clue of Ariadne in delivering one from many a hopeless labyrinth.
To the uneducated Chinese any idea whatever comes as a surprise, for which it is by no means certain that he will not be totally unprepared. He does not understand, because he does not expect to understand, and it takes him an appreciable time to get such intellectual forces as he has into a position to be used at all. His mind is like a rusty old smooth-bore cannon mounted on a decrepit carriage, which requires much hauling about before it can be pointed at anything, and then it is sure to miss fire. Thus when a person is asked a simple question, such as "How old are you?" he gazes vacantly at the questioner, and asks in return, "I?" To which you re- spond, " Yes, you." To this he replies with a summoning up of his mental energies for the shock, "How old?" "Yes, how old?" Once more adjusting the focus, he inquires, "How old am I?" "Yes," you say, "how old are you?" "Fifty-eight," he replies, with accuracy of aim, his piece being now in working order.
A prominent example of intellectual turbidity is the prevalent habit of announcing as a reason for a fact, the fact itself. "Why do you not put salt into bread-cakes?" you ask of a Chinese cook. "We do not put salt into bread-cakes," is the explanation. "How is it that with so much and such beautiful ice in your city none of it is stored up for winter?" "No, we do not store up ice for winter in our city." If the Latin poet who observed, "Happy is he who is able to know the reasons of things," had lived in China, he might have modified his dictum so as to read, "Unhappy is the man who essays to find out the reasons of things."
Another mark of intellectual torpor is the inability of an ordinary mind to entertain an idea, and then pass it on to another in its original shape. To tell A something which he is to tell B, in order that C may govern his actions thereby, is in China one of the most fatuous of undertakings. Either the message will never be delivered at all, because the parties concerned did not understand that it was of importance, or it reaches C in such a shape that he cannot comprehend it, or in a form totally at variance with its original. To suppose that three cogs in so complicated a piece of machinery are capable of playing into each other without such friction as to stop the works, is to entertain a very wild hope. Even minds of considerable intelligence find it hard to take in and then give out an idea without addition or diminution, just as clear water is certain to refract the image of a straight stick as if it were a broken one.
Illustrations of these peculiarities will meet the observant foreigner at every turn. "Why did he do so?" you inquire in regard to some preposterous act. "Yes," is the compendious reply. There is a certain numeral word in constant use, which is an aggravating accessory to vague replies. It sig- nifies both interrogatively, "How many?" and affirmatively, "Several." "How many days have you been here?" you ask. "Yes, I have been here several days," is the reply. Of all the ambiguous words in the Chinese language, probably the most ambiguous is the personal (or impersonal) pronoun t'a, which signifies promiscuously "he," "she," or "it." Some- times the speaker designates the subject of his remarks by vaguely waving his thumb in the direction of the subject's home, or towards the point where he was last heard of. But more frequently the single syllable t'a is considered wholly sufficient as a relative, as a demonstrative pronoun, and as a specifying adjective. Under these circumstances, the talk of a Chinese will be like the testimony of a witness in an English court, who described a fight in the following terms: "He'd a stick, and he'd a stick, and he w'acked he, and he w'acked he, and if he'd a w'acked he as hard as he w'acked he, he'd a killed he, and not he he."
"Why did you not come when you were called?" you venture to inquire of a particularly negligent servant. "Not on account of any reason," he answers, with what appears to be frank precision. The same state of mental confusion leads to a great variety of acts, often embarrassing, and to a well- ordered Occidental intellect always irritating. The cook makes it a matter of routine practice to use up the last of whatever there may be in his charge, and then serves the next meal minus some invariable concomitant. When asked what he means by it, he answers ingenuously that there was no more. "Then why did you not ask for more in time?" "I did not ask for any more," is his satisfactory explanation. The man to whom you have paid a sum of cash in settlement of his account, going to the trouble of unlocking your safe and making change with scrupulous care, sits talking for "an old half-day" on miscellaneous subjects, and then remarks with nonchalance, "I have still another account besides this one." "But why did you not tell me when I had the safe open, so that I could do it all at once?" "Oh, I thought that account and this one had nothing to do with each other!" In the same way a patient in a dispensary who has taken a liberal allowance of the time of the physician, retires to the waiting-room, and when the door is next opened advances to re-enter. Upon being told that his case has been disposed of, he observes, with delightful simplicity, "But I have got another different disease besides that one!"
An example of what seems to us immeasurable folly, is the common Chinese habit of postponing the treatment of diseases because the patient happens to be busy, or because the remedy would cost something. It is often considered cheaper to undergo severe and repeated attacks of intermittent fever, than to pay ten cash—about one cent—for a dose of quinia, morally certain to cure. We have seen countless cases of the gravest diseases sometimes nourished to the point where they became fatal simply to save time, when they might have been cured gratuitously.
A man living about half a mile from a foreign hospital, while away from home contracted some eye trouble, and waited in agony for more than two weeks after his return before coming for treatment, hoping each day that the pain would stop, instead of which, one eye was totally destroyed by a corneal ulcer.
Another patient, who had been under daily treatment for a deeply ulcerated neck, mentioned on the eighteenth day that his leg prevented his sleeping. Upon examination he was found to have there another ulcer about the size and depth of a teacup! When his neck was well he was intending to speak about his leg!
Many such phenomena of Chinese life may serve to remind one of a remark in one of the novels of Charles Reade, that "Mankind are not lacking in intelligence, but they have one intellectual defect—they are Muddleheads!"
A Chinese education by no means fits its possessors to grasp a subject in a comprehensive and practical manner. It is popularly supposed in Western lands that there are certain preachers of whom it can be truthfully affirmed that if their text had the smallpox, the sermon would not catch it. The same phenomenon is found among the Chinese in forms of peculiar flagrance. Chinese dogs do not as a rule take kindly to the pursuit of wolves, and when a dog is seen running after a wolf it is not unlikely that the dog and the wolf will be moving, if not in opposite directions, at least at right angles to each other. Not without resemblance to this oblique chase, is the pursuit by a Chinese speaker of a perpetually retreating subject. He scents it often, and now and then he seems to be on the point of overtaking it, but he retires at length, much wearied, without having come across it in any part of his course.
China is the land of sharp contrasts, the very rich and the wretchedly poor, the highly educated and the utterly ignorant, living side by side. Those who are both very poor and very ignorant, as is the fate of millions, have indeed so narrow a horizon that intellectual turbidity is compulsory. Their existence is merely that of a frog in a well, to which even the heavens appear only as a strip of darkness. Ten miles from their native place many such persons have never been, and they have no conception of any conditions of life other than those by which they have always been surrounded. In many of them even that instinctive curiosity common to all races seems dormant or blighted. Many Chinese, who know that a foreigner has come to live within a mile from their homes, never think to inquire where he came from, who he is, or what he wants. They know how to struggle for an existence, and they know nothing else. They do not know whether they have three souls, as is currently supposed, or one, or none, and so long as the matter has no relation to the price of grain, they do not see that it is of any consequence whatever. They believe in a future life in which the bad will be turned into dogs and insects, and they also believe in annihilation pure and simple, in which the body becomes dirt, and the soul—if there be one—fades into the air. They are the ultimate outcome of the forces which produce what is in Western lands called a "practical man," whose life consists of two compartments, a stomach and a cash-bag. Such a man is the true positivist, for he cannot be made to comprehend anything which he does not see or hear, and of causes as such he has no conception whatever. Life is to him a mere series of facts, mostly disagreeable facts, and as for anything beyond, he is at once an atheist, a polytheist, and an agnostic. An occasional prostration to he knows not what, or perhaps an offering of food to he knows not whom, suffices to satisfy the instinct of dependence, but whether this instinct finds even this expression will depend largely upon what is the custom of those about him. In him the physical element of the life of man has alone been nourished, to the utter exclusion of the psychical and the spiritual. The only method by which such beings can be rescued from their torpor is by a transfusion of a new life, which shall reveal to them the sublime truth uttered by the ancient patriarch, "There is a spirit in man," for only thus is it that "the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding."

The Universal Basic Income Is An Idea Whose Time Has Not Come
Does it seem odd that those who made their billions by applying their ingenuity and skill to create technological advances now recommend establishing a nonworking class?
By J. David Patterson
From almost the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, people have alternatively celebrated and feared the effects of machinery on their economies and cultures. The current iteration of this fearful joy tells us that automation will make too many people unemployable and, in its darkest mood, that artificial intelligence will undertake a war to eradicate humanity.
As Nikhil Reddy of the Huffington Post puts it, "The melancholy truth is that this is a certainty – these machines will come to do our work better than we can – so we must maintain a plenary focus on protecting the financial and occupational interest of those whose jobs are up for grabs. The solution – receiving troves of support from the likes of Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Richard Branson – is universal basic income."
The concept of universal basic income (UBI) is that the federal government would guarantee that everyone receives a minimum income regardless of circumstance to offset the horrible effects of automation and AI which represent the successful advance of technology. Under this theory, the culprit, technological success, will put people out of work and irrevocably reverse the course of business in a market economy, as we know it, if the United States does not implement UBI.
Don't Be Creative Like Me
Don't get me wrong here: I'm not down on billionaires. I want everyone to have the opportunity to be one. But, before going further, does it seem odd that the successful billionaires noted above, who made their billions by working hard, applying their ingenuity and skill to create enormous and rapid technological advances they now warn against, now recommend establishing at taxpayer expense a nonworking class? They created corporations that succeeded because they hired talented people equally dedicated and willing to work long hours to make the dreams of the companies' creators become reality.
These entrepreneurs developed technologies including artificial intelligence and labor-saving robotics that gave birth to complementary technological advances. Now, these folks believe it is the interest of business in the United States to institutionalize compensation for not producing, for not being creative, for not exhibiting the very spirit that they proved makes a successful business. There is something fundamentally wrong with this thinking.
Reading and listening to the techno-billionaires' argument reminds me of the Mark Twain quotation that opens the movie "The Big Short." "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so."
To that end, the UBI argument rests on two premises that "just ain't so." First, there is the idea that machines will replace jobs, for a net reduction in jobs. Second is the belief that giving money to people for doing nothing will have a positive overall effect. Yet the evidence is exactly the opposite to what these imaginative billionaires argue.
Tech Innovation Always Creates New Jobs
First, what was clearly a technology boom during the 1990s saw a fairly low unemployment rate. In fact, at the height of the technology bubble, unemployment was at its lowest during the decade, 4.0 percent. Throughout the history of the United States from the industrial age of the early 1800s, there is no evidence that would draw the observer to the conclusion that technological advances increased the number of people permanently displaced from the labor force.
The important evidence these billionaires ignore is that while technology does make some jobs extinct—Pony Express riders, Morse code telegraphers—it also creates new jobs requiring different skills. With each new invention, innovation, or industrial discovery, more jobs were created. Where there isn't numerical equality between the old and new jobs, some people will be forced to rely on government aid for the time it takes to retrain into a new job (which already exists, by the way). But not so many to require so massive and permanent aid as "universal basic income."
In Jeremy Pollard's article in Control Design for Machine Builders, "Is technology replacing jobs?" Pollard refers to Mark Bertolini, CEO of Aetna, a $60 billion Fortune 50 health-care benefits company, who argues, "Now, consider that the banking industry has expanded the number of tellers at their branches because they have built more branches. They embraced automation such as ATMs, which meant lost jobs in the short term, but they also realized they had much more money to provide better customer service, so they put that money back into their businesses by providing construction jobs, management positions and teller employment to the tune of 100,000 teller jobs since 2000."
Reddy goes on to explain in his article that UBI is based on the foundational concept that unconditional income increases job security, mitigate the pangs of work-based stress (snowflakes arise), and engenders the freedom to explore business prospects without monumental risk.
Let's stop right there. What job security is there in paying people to do nothing? Job security is based on whether there is a continued market for the workers' services or products, and on the quality of the workers' output at a price customers are willing to pay. The fundamental flaw in UBI thinking is that a) the arguments for it are based on assertions only, no relevant data, and b) that when you pay people for doing nothing, you can expect to get what you pay for.
People Are Trouble When They're Not Working
As early in our American history as in the Jamestown colony of 1610, we learned the painful lesson of what happens when many rely on the labor of the few willing to work. Captain John Smith was prompted to issue the order, "He that will not work shall not eat." Apparently, some of the early settlers believed they did not have to work and that the local Native Americans would continue to provide them food. Smith's order suggests otherwise.
The Disney movie "WALL-E" provides a more contemporary portrayal of what happens when people are rewarded for not doing anything to sustain their existence, living in a completely robot-served world. Humans spend their days of leisure aboard a large space cruise ship with butts fixed to hovering chairs and taking their meals through straws so as not to have to exert the effort of chewing their food. Their bodies suffer bone loss from inactivity and they become so fat that movement is difficult. The point is that being rewarded for inactivity creates a societal idleness.
Researchers from the Roosevelt Institute (RI) looked at data results from two UBI pilot examples in North America. First was the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend, a program that redistributes oil revenues through annual payments to every Alaska resident amounting to about $1,000 to $2,000 yearly. Second was the Eastern Band of Cherokees' casino-dividend program dividing casino income generated by the reservation's gambling industry with payments of several thousand dollars to each tribal member annually. They also examined "negative income tax" programs in select Canadian and U.S. communities in 1960s and 1970s that provided taxpayer-funded household rebates covering basic living expenses.
The researchers found "no effects on the labor market supply." But there is one small problem. There is no commonality between the "pilot programs" that the RI researchers claim as relevant surrogates and what UBI advocates are proposing . Receiving one payment annually of a few thousand dollars in no way equates to monthly UBI payments from all working people to every American. Additionally, the taxpayer-funded household rebates back in the 1960s and 1970s have absolutely no relevance to the 2017 tax structure and welfare system. To draw any conclusions from such 40- to 50-year old results gives new meaning to the phrase, "scientific method, what scientific method?"
Universal Basic Income Is a Ponzi Scheme
Julia Seymour takes a more critical viewpoint based on economic responsibility in her article "Fast Company Hails Universal Income As 'Economic Stimulus,' Omits $2.8 Trillion Price Tag." Seymour explains the RI research was touted in Fast Company as if it were "not a giveaway; it's a permanent economic stimulus." Not mentioned was that the cost of even a $1,000 per month UBI would be $2.8 trillion in deficit spending. That's on top of our current $20.170 trillion federal debt.
The cost of even a $1,000 per month UBI would be $2.8 trillion in deficit spending. That's on top of our current $20.170 trillion federal debt.
UBI is a Ponzi scheme. How much tax revenue will have to be extracted from the shrinking number of taxpayers to fund it? UBI would be socialism at its worst, and cannot possibly work. As Margaret Thatcher once said, the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. Like all Ponzi schemes, UBI would collapse on itself.
To be fair, the technology billionaires are not the only apologists for UBI. There are the "utopianists" who now raise the potential for "Utopia for Realists" with unconditional payments to people for not working. In her article, "The False Promise of Universal Basic Income" published in Dissent, Alyssa Battistoni makes the case for UBI through Rutger Bregman, a Dutch journalist and UBI apologist.
Bregman believes worries about automation creating more non-productive "Waste of time in front of the TV Lose our purpose in life" behaviors are "charmingly naïve." Rather, Bregman takes the position that, "We aren't bored to death, we're working ourselves to death." Now, here is a European journalist lecturing on the burden of work where the 30-hour workweek is the norm and "cradle-to-grave" socialism makes the phrase "we're working ourselves to death" incomprehensible. It's already become clear that European welfare states cannot fund the current arrangement, let alone any expansion through a UBI system.
The United States Is Not Europe or Africa
Battistoni ends her article conflating ideas from experiments in guaranteed basic income in Dauphin, Canada in 1970, Namibia, Kenya, and Uganda, as well as socialist economies such as Sweden's. Although it should be obvious, the United States is not Canada, Namibia, Kenya, Uganda, or Sweden.
Business in America built on unflagging work ethic will continue to be the cornerstone of what the United States is as a nation.
The United States is not like any other country historically, economically, or culturally. So, what Battistoni begins disguised as an honest treatise exploring the various aspects of UBI ends with a Marxist harangue about how the those who produce have an obligation to disperse their earnings to those who don't, because those who produce create income inequality they are responsible to fix. We learn that at some level UBI is a ruse to divert the reader from Battistoni's real purpose, which is to convince people that the United States should adopt the failed Marxist maxim, "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need."
Business in America built on unflagging work ethic will continue to be the cornerstone of what the United States is as a nation. To quote former Vice President Joe Biden, "your job is about your dignity. It's about your self-respect. It's about your place in your community." Biden was, in that at least, entirely correct.
America has drifted away from our famous work ethic for more than 30 years. Once there was shame attached to participating in government welfare programs. No longer. We need to recover the dignity of work, and that cannot be done through UBI, which is just another flavor of welfare.
Technology has allowed our nation to increase in prosperity and create a continuously expanding job market. Listening to UBI advocates, one would believe that technological advance is, by definition, self-destructive. It is not. UBI is just a bad idea, like so many that have gone before it.

IOM, the UN Migration Agency, reports that 87,315 migrants and refugees have entered Europe by sea through 30 October, a 12% decrease from the 99,122 arriving during the same period last year. Over half all arrivals this year (47,015) have landed in Greece, while another one-fourth (22,247) have landed in Spain, with the balance arriving in much smaller proportions to Italy, Malta and Cyprus.
Mediterranean Developments
Deaths recorded on the three main Mediterranean Sea routes through almost ten months of 2019 are at 1,087 individuals—or about 53% of the 2,044 deaths confirmed during the same period in 2018.
IOM's Missing Migrants Project documented several deaths on routes across the Mediterranean in recent days. In the Eastern Mediterranean, a 16-year-old Afghan teenager lost his live during the crossing from Küçükkuyu, Turkey to the Greek island of Lesvos on 28 October. His remains were recovered by the Turkish Coast Guard, which also rescued 40 survivors and returned them to Turkish shores.
Thirty-seven per cent of those who died in 2019 in the Eastern Mediterranean were children, with 27 child migrant deaths documented on this route.
In the Western Mediterranean, the remains of an unidentified man were recovered from the sea off the coast of Cartagena, Murcia on Sunday, 27 October, a day in which Spanish rescue services rescued 140 people from several boats in waters near Murcia and Alicante. These boats reportedly had departed from the western coast of Algeria. In 2019, the deaths of 62 people have been recorded in the sea crossing between Algeria and Spain.
Another 166 people have lost their lives on the sea crossing across the Alborá n Sea between Nador and Andalucía, while 52 deaths have been documented on the crossing via the Strait of Gibraltar. This year, IOM has documented 53 deaths on the more dangerous route from the western coast of Morocco across the Atlantic Ocean to the coasts of Cádiz.
Five people were reported lost on another frequently used migration route to Spain, the sea crossing from the north-western coast of Africa to the Canary Islands (the "Western Africa route").
On 29 October, an oil tanker rescued 29 people from a cayuco 607km south of Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, as well as the remains of four people. According to survivors' testimonies, a fifth person went missing at sea. Survivors reported being adrift at sea for more than 15 days, with little food or water. Many were severely dehydrated when rescued and needed emergency medical assistance. Four people were evacuated to hospitals upon arriving to the Port of Las Palmas.
In 2019, 82 people have reportedly lost their lives on this route, nearly double the 43 deaths documented in all of 2018.
In the streets of Nador, Morocco, a 13-year-old Moroccan boy was severely injured when attempting to cling to the undercarriage of a truck bound for Melilla, Spain on 26 October. Tragically, he didn't survive his injuries and passed away before arriving at a hospital.
He is one of the 180 children whose deaths have been documented by the Missing Migrants Project in 2019.
IOM Italy
IOM Rome's Flavio Di Giacomo cited official Ministry of Interior figures of 9,648 migrants have arrived in Italy by sea this year through 30 October, compared to 22,167 at this same time in 2018. IOM Libya has reported that through 15 October over, 7.300 migrants have been intercepted at sea and returned to Libya in 2019.
IOM Spain
IOM Spain's Ana Dodevska reported on Thursday sea arrivals to Spain, through 30 October have reached 22.247, compared to 47,505 at this time last year. While monthly arrivals to Spain are lower this year overall, fatalities on the Western Mediterranean route remain high—with 324 deaths reported through six months of this year, compared to 621 at this time in 2018.
IOM Greece
IOM Greece's Christine Nikolaidou reported on Thursday (31/10) that from Friday (25/10) up to date, the Hellenic Coast Guard (HCG) participated in at least twenty two incidents requiring search and rescue operation off the islands of Chios, Lesvos, Leros, Samos, Kos, Farmakonisi, Pserimos and the port of Alexandroupoli. The HCG rescued a total of 739 migrants and transferred them to the respective ports.
Those arrivals, plus others between 23 and 29 October, bring to 47,015 the total number of sea arrivals to Greece this year.

Please enjoy a snippet from my very first performance of 2017! YAAAAY! Not the best quality video, but a nice glimpse into what I am doing these days. This performance was part of an artists collective in Marin County and I'm very proud to be a participant. I am thrilled to be dancing (finally) with a vintage piece of assuit and I absolutely LOVE how it looks on stage and on camera. Although I do a tiny bit o' ballet in this piece, I find that slow, slinky tribal belly dance moves work quite well with The Dying Swan. I don't think I will ever get tired of this music.
Greetings! Back from Seattle with a brand new video! I adore Seattle and I was a bit sad that my trip this time was so short. The weather was perfect and I got to see North Seattle for the first time. The San Francisco Bay Area culture is not what it used to be. In my opinion, the tech influence has completely ruined the vibe. I look forward to a day in the near future when I will call Seattle my true home.
Here's a picture of me, just killing time in the afternoon before my performance. I love cemeteries.
Fosse Fedora! from Blackhoodygrrl on Vimeo.
Greetings! This weekend has been pretty special for me. Me and my dance colleague, Lisa Hyde, strutted our stuff in a belly dance competition and ended up winning 1st place! I could not be more thrilled. I love working with Lisa because she is so professional and wonderful, and of course I love performing on the stage. But the real thrill comes from watching my choreography win something...anything! I am very grateful for this experience.
...Mr. Fosse...this one's for you.
Look for me in the beginning! This is the first of two videos we shot over Thanksgiving holiday. I am so inspired by Frenchy and the Punk and I can't wait to work with them again. Enjoy!

There are so many studies and surveys that rank cities, and Colorado Springs always seems to be pretty high on the lists. This particular list is interesting however, in that it is a list of the Best Housing Markets for Investors. This ties into a discussion some of us agents were having yesterday about renting vs buying in Colorado Springs.
My take since I first got into real estate here almost 20 years ago, is that the cost of owning a home in Colorado Springs is very low relative to rental rates, at least up to around $250,000 (or so). That is because the military presence here tends to create a steady of flow of people who aren't 100% sure how long they will be stationed here, who as a result, are logical renters. The price point tends to cap based on the housing allowance tables the government uses, and actually fluctuates some with interest rates. The lower the interest rate, the higher a given amount will stretch to buy vs rent a home. While landlords can adjust rents based on market conditions, realistically, most want to cover cash flow, and have loans in place, usually at higher rates than at least our current market (4.25%!).
The Forbes article is also interesting, because it puts some weight on the population growth component. With the Iraq war winding down, many of our troops from Ft Carson should be coming home for longer stays, which should result in population growth going forward.
I like it when Colorado Springs places well on these surveys. In this case, I would even tend to agree with their assessment. Buying (ie investing) in Colorado Springs homes does make sense right now!


Growing up in Texas and coming to the conclusion that religion and all of its components are mythological is a hard concept to swallow.
In the coming future, I shall be sharing with you, the reader, how I came to my conclusions and why I feel compelled to explain my story.
Being an atheist is not easy in a nation of believers. But as I have experienced over my 5+ decades on this Earth, I have come to realize that, unlike those who would condemn me as a non-believer, I am MUCH, MUCH happier that I have chosen not to bog down myself with impossible, miraculous beliefs.
First of all, my life is not all happiness and contentment. I am presently separated from my husband of over 25 years. We have a son who has been chronically ill since he was five years old. My husband and I both suffer from childhood trauma…not serious by the standard means of trauma, but by emotional trauma that caused us to not only question our existence, but our beliefs as well.
As I see our nation continue to become polarized by religion and the perception of "God-given right," I am increasingly disturbed by the increased and ramped-up dogma that we see and hear nightly on news and in social media.
So, I plan to discuss how I have evolved to the point in which I am. I am hoping that my journey might help those who are questioning and searching, also.
Let's move from belief to reality together.

Playtech to Release Another Exclusive Game
Thursday June 1, 4:13 am ET
NICOSIA, Cyprus, June 1 /PRNewswire/ — In line with ongoing efforts to expand its games portfolio and provide its licensees with new and attractive casino games, Playtech has recently released yet another exclusive casino game – Tequila Poker. This comes after the release of Playtech's first exclusive and popular game Blackjack Switch, a game available solely to Playtech licensees. The recent release is the latest in a long line of new product development by Playtech, enhancing the company's foothold as an industry leader and providing operators with extra marketing value due to the game's exclusivity to Playtech licensees
Released in April of 2006, Tequila Poker premiered in the land-based Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas last year, and has recently been accepted by the Nevada Gaming Commission for deployment in various land-based casinos throughout Las Vegas. In the online arena, Tequila Poker's creators have licensed the game exclusively to Playtech.
Tequila Poker is a unique card game combining two game modes, High Tequila which is a high/low type game, and Tequila Poker which is a poker style game. The game is played with a single deck of cards and in every round the player, using the initial four cards dealt, can opt to either continue the hand based on High Tequila or Tequila Poker rules, or can fold the hand and forfeit the ante. Once the player has chosen a preferred game mode, the ante bet is doubled, two more cards are dealt and the final outcome is determined based on the six cards dealt. According to High Tequila rules, the combined value of the five highest ranking cards is calculated, with a total result of 46 or higher considered a winning hand. In the Tequila Poker mode, the six cards are used to construct the best five card poker hand, with a pair of aces or higher winning the hand. In both game modes, the paytable is relevant only to the bet while the ante is paid back at a rate of 1:1.
Avigur Zmora, Playtech CEO commented, "Tequila Poker is another great example of Playtech's commitment to the success of their licensees. We are happy to be able to increase the frequency of casino games releases, and even more so when we are able to release exclusive games for the sole use of our licensees. This new addition to our casino games portfolio is expected to attract both existing and prospective players. The benefit is two-fold – a new exciting game and a great marketing tool bound to attract many new players due to its exclusivity."
