Hello everyone. Thanks for following me.
Spring is upon us, flowers are sprouting and blooming, grass is starting to green up and the temps are slowly climbing. That means we are approaching one of our busiest weekends of the spring.
Next weekend, April 5, 6 and 7th, I'll be doing multiple workshops and classes, and topped off on Saturday evening by our 2nd Annual Spring Photography Exhibition and Show.
This time a change of location. I've been doing my classes and exhibitions in Front Royal, and for this spring weekend we will be in downtown Winchester. The workshops of course will be outdoors, hopefully in the National Park (if its fully open by then). We are super excited to visit our friend and fans in Winchester and cannot wait to see you all.
Here is a run down of the full weekend. Registrations for the classes and workshops are still open and can be done HERE!!
I have 2 events this evening, both are outdoor workshops, so weather permitting.
Photography Class - Composing Your Shot 9:00am - Cost $25 (spots available) - This is one of the fundamental classes that I recommend to EVERYONE. Composition is one of the 2 most important aspects in taking good photos, and this class will instantly make your photos better. Good for any type of camera, even phones.
Photography Class - Reading the Light - 10:30am -Cost $25 (spots available) - This is the other fundamental class that I recommend to EVERYONE. Lighting goes hand in hand with composition to create the photo. Without understand and being able to read the light, your photos will not excel, and you will not get better as a photographer. Good for any type of camera, even phones.
Photography Class - Shooting in Manual Mode Part 1 - 12:30pm - Cost $45 (spots available) This is my most popular class, I call it the money class because this class separates the photographers from everyone else. If you have a camera that has manual settings and you are shooting everything in automatic mode, then this is the class for you. I teach you with in class instruction, hands on learning and a 30-45 minute outdoor session on how to get off of manual mode and get the real power out of your camera. You'll learn ISO, Aperture, Shutter speed and more. I go through real world scenarios to teach you my thought process in figuring out what settings to start with.
Photography Class - Shooting in Manual Mode Part 2 - 3:00pm - Cost $45 (spots available) This class is the more advanced followup to the Part 1 class above. Learn more advanced techniques like long exposures, high speed shooting, low light shooting, exposure and focus stacking and more.
2nd Annual Scott Turnmeyer Spring Photography Exhibitions/Show - Cost FREE - View on our Event Page - Come by and show me your support by visiting us for the Exhibition. No cost to the public, and no buy pressure at all. Come in a view my work first hand, printed and mounted. There will be well over 100 different photos of mine from around the area (and world), and I'll be there to talk about how I get them, tell stories about our escapades, talk photography or answer questions. Of course, everything will be for sale as well, and items will range in pricing from $5 - $500, and everything in between. Guaranteed to have something for everyone. There will be door prizes given away as well!!!! We'll have prints in paper, mounted on foam and METAL (Gorgeous), holiday cards, ornaments, puzzles and a ton more.
Thank so much, and we sincerely appreciate the following and support of our fans. We hope to see all of you next weekend either at a class, workshop or especially our Exhibition/Show. Please check out all of our events HERE on our Facebook page for location information and other upcoming events.
I'm going to write a slightly different blog post tonight. It is photography related in a way, but I've been working very hard on getting back in shape and I have had a ton of people ask me what I did. So one of the main reasons why I did it was to be in better shape for our landscape photography sessions and hiking, I figured I'd do it as a blog post. At the time of writing this I have been doing this for 2 months and have lost 30lbs and over 8% body fat. How I got here and what I did is listed below, but it is a multi-pronged approached, as you will read.
Now I will first start off with a disclaimer. I am not a certified physical trainer, nutritionist or anything in that area. I know photography and that I was out of shape and needed to fix that. So what worked for me may or may not work from you. As with anything physical or dietary, consult with your doctor first, and if you don't feel right then STOP!
So coming through the holidays last year I was approaching my heaviest that I had been probably ever. Scaling in at 247 lbs. I have always been an athletic person, so while this did affect me on our hiking to do our landscape photos, I still stayed very active. I use our gym at work and usually would hit it 3 or 4 days a week, but maybe for 30 minutes at a time.
First off I did my research. There are so many diets out there these days and they all have the pros and cons. KETO is the big thing these days, but I know that I need my energy, so I was not wanting to completely cut out the carbs. I knew I wanted to keep them low because carbs retain water just like sodium does. 1g of carbs holds on to 2g of water. Most people think sodium makes you retain water, well that bag of no sodium chips does the exact same thing!!!
So I knew I was going to go Low Carb and Low Sodium, which isn't the easiest as a lot of the Low Carb stuff like jerky is high in sodium.
To keep track of my meals I've been using Under Armour's app on my phone "My Fitness Pal". I've been using that app for a long time but not REALLY using it. It allows you to keep a food diary during the day and set you goals and limits for calories, protein, carbs, sodium or any other macro nutrients that you want to track.
I knew what I wanted to do with my diet, now I went to my exercises. I knew I needed to step up my game. I had been doing 15-20 minutes on the elliptical in my gym then would do some weight lifting. I decided to take the first week and incrementally increase my cardio on the elliptical up to 45 minutes, then shortly after that I challenged myself to do 60 minutes and had no issues.
Before you start doing your cardio or exercising get you a good band, watch or whatever that will show you your heart rate and track you exercise. I have an Apple Watch and us the Under Armour "Record" app on my watch and phone. Works amazing, and the Record app ties in directly with the My Fitness Pal app so when you finish your workouts it sends what calories you burned over to My Fitness Pal.
Why do you want to monitor your heart rate? Well your hear rate has different zones. Most people get on the elliptical and just slowly move along looking at only the time. You MUST get your heart rate into the proper zone for fat burning, which is called the aerobic zone. Usually that is around 128-138 beats per minute, but it is different for each person. A quick Google Search on how to determine your Aerobic heart rate will bring up multiple calculators where you can calculate what yours is. If you go too high you switch into Anaerobic, which your body starts burning sugar and not fat, which is not what you want.
After I do my cardio I also do some light weight/high number of reps weight training. I do that for another 30 minutes or so. Pick lower weight that you can do 15-20 reps and do 3 sets of those with 30 seconds rest in between. Key here is you are building lean muscle that will burn more fat and you are keeping your heart rate up. I like to mix up my weights and continuously go. Example - bicep curls, tricep push downs, drink of water and repeat, without stopping.
Okay, if you are overweight then there is a high probably that your brain is confused and completely controlling your eating.
I went out to eat 2 days after I started this and decided I was only going to eat half of my dinner to see how it worked. I ate half, asked for a box, and walked out of Carraba's completely content. I realized right then that my brain had been seeing food in front of me and telling me that I had to eat all of it. Perhaps this came from my childhood of "eat everything on your plate", LOL I don't know. What I do know is that after doing this for about a week I had completely reprogrammed my brain into stopping when I feel content, not stuffing myself. That has literally cut my calorie intake in half without even making myself starve.
Pretty soon after all of this started I began to feel and see a difference. Low carb, low sodium and my calorie intake was lower. By pushing my cardio to 60 minutes (at 138bpm) and doing weights after I soon was burning 1500 and now 2000 calories a day. All of this while only consuming 1000-1500 calories a day in food. If you figure I'm in a calorie deficit from my workouts and that is not even figuring in my normal daily metabolic rate of calorie burn, the fat is burning off so quickly.
I'm also looking for other ways to exercise, not just the gym. We take the dogs for 3 miles walks around our neighborhood. We try to do at least a 3 or 4 mile hike each weekend if the weather allows it. Anything. Walk some place if you can. Do whatever you can.
The biggest thing that I cannot stress enough. Set small goals for yourself and check the scale once every 2 weeks. Don't do it every day because you will have good and bad days. And push yourself. If you feel great then don't stop at 60min of cardio, go more!!!!!!! Always challenge yourself to do more!!!
I hope this helps someone out. This has worked out really well for me and I'm still going. I'm ready for some long hikes to get out and get some great photos.
Hello everyone, thanks for following along.
It's Monday evening and one of my busiest weekends of the year is quickly approaching. I'm so excited for my very first photography showing/exhibition this Saturday from 4-8pm at the Warren County Community Center in Front Royal, VA.
This showing will showcase over 50 of my images throughout the years. Some of our favorites, varying on subjects. All will be for sale, and there will be some of the largest acrylics all the way down to the smaller print only variations. I'll be there to talk about the photos, how I got them, what I was thinking and sign your print if you like. Please stop by and let me show you my work. Oh, we'll be doing some Facebook Lives and giveaways there too!!!
Saturday morning we'll be up bright and early for a sunrise photography workshop in the Shenandoah National Park. Weather is looking promising and I have a couple of spots available.
10am brings my first class of the day, Photo 101. Spots are still available. This class is my first in series and I teach lighting and composition. It's great for anyone with any type of camera, even phones. Coming out of there you will instantly be taking better photos and seeing what you can do better.
Mid day is my most popular class, Photo 201. This is the big one, getting off of automatic mode and learning how to use those manual settings on your camera. It's all about aperture, shutter speed and ISO, and I'll have you putting them all together in no time. You definitely need a camera with manual setting options. Spots still available.
It's going to be a fantastic weekend, and Pam and I are looking forward to seeing everyone!.
Artbeat Studios Thank you for following me!!
We all know that photography equipment is quite expensive, especially when you are moving into purchasing the pro grade lenses and cameras. Many people, including myself, has hesitation in spending $2000 on a piece of equipment when you aren't really sure whether its right for you, or you'll use it as much as you thought you would. What do I do?
I Try Before I Buy!
There are two websites out there that I use whenever I want to try out a piece of equipment before I pull the trigger on purchasing. Or sometimes I need this special lens for a one time shoot, so it doesn't make sense for me to purchase it for that one time. They are rental websites that allow you to rent all of the major camera manufacturers, lenses, accessories, etc. You name it, chances are they have it.
Borrowlenses has camera video and a section where you can purchased used gear as they move them through their lifecycle. I have never purchased equipment, but have rented cameras and lenses many times.
Their rental process is very intuitive and can all be done on their website. Pick your equipment, choose the day you want it to arrive, choose the day you want to return it, choose whether you want equipment insurance (I recommend), enter your payment and shipping details and you are done.
The equipment comes packaged safely in a box ready to return, along with the return shipping label. So easy to use.
Like Borrowlenses, Lensrentals has video and camera equipment. They not only sell used equipment, but they now have a Keeper option of renting some equipment and that rental price is put towards your purchase of that equipment. I haven't done this myself, but seems like a good option.
The rental process for Lensrentals closely resembles that of the site above. Very easy and intuitive. Very quick and seamless shipping and receiving.
The equipment from Lensrentals also is packed fantastically, along with a return shipping labe. So when you are done and need to send it back, put the equipment back in the box as it was, seal it up, label it and drop it off at a location. Easy as pie.
So give it a try. Its a service from both sites that I have used many times and not one time have had an issue.

Norman Hall Style
Finished in 1891, is Rhenish Romanesque. The term "Norman" is indiscriminately used for round-arch architecture, such as is found here.
The walls are divided into bays by broad piers with heavy arching. The center bays of the east, south and west walls have pedimented niches carried on short columns with foliated caps, and supported on heavy corbels. From the lace of the piers, curved ribs support the beams that divide the ceiling into twenty-five panels. Additional force is given to the arching in the room by an impressive molding, marking the junction of walls and ceiling. A plain wainscot with molded base extends around the room, following the angles formed by the piers.
Decorations, although elaborate and rich as gold can make them, are quiet and dignified. The piers are deep olive green and embellished with an interlacing of various colors picked out with gold. The panels between the piers, not occupied by windows, have life-sized figures on a gold mosaic background. The figures are bearing the Working Tools of Freemasonry: Plumb, Trowel, Square, Mallet and Compasses.
The ceiling panels are a deep blue with the outside tinted chocolate brown. Decorations are alternating patterns found in ancient Irish or Scandinavian manuscripts. The rug has a background of deep greenish blue, necked with figures in shades of gold, red and black. The result is interlacing designs that produce the effect of a larger room.
Norman Hall is fifty-one feet long, forty-one feet wide and twenty-three feet high.

A very unique Dahlia that boasts a colour combination like no other - exquisite semi-double flowers of reds through apricots and oranges. Some have small cream petals at their centres whilst others are blushed with petals in contrasting colours. Bushy and compact plants can flower for up to 3 months over the summer and are highly attractive to bees and other pollinating insects.


I'm sure this is easy but I've been looking at it for an hour and can't get anywhere. I have an equation that I need a linear form of.
That's the equation I have to write a linear form of.
I'm struggling to make a start, first thought was to try multiply the LHS by the 1+a*x1 that the RHS is divided by. Then take the natural log of both sides.
And that would mean the constant a vanishes as does x1. I guess I'm approaching the linearization wrong, that or my interpretation of log laws is flawed?
FYI this forum is LaTeX-enabled. Just wrap the code in tex tags, or itex tags for inline typesetting. The tags look like the following, only without spaces.
To see the code for any LaTeX image, just click on the image (make sure pop ups are allowed).
That's not right. For instance, [itex]\ln(y(1+bx_1))=ln(y)+ln(1+bx_1)[/itex]. But you can't separate [itex]ln(1+bx_1)[/itex] any further.
That said, I'm a bit confused by what you mean by "linearizing" the equation. When I hear that expression I think of finding a linear approximation of [itex]y=f\left(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4\right)[/itex]. But this necessarily involves calculus, and you placed this in the Precalc forum. Can you explain further what you mean by linearizing an equation?
Ok, thanks for your prompt reply, I'd better explain the context of the problem since I guess I'm using the wrong term but I'm fairly certain that the solution isn't calculus based.
That equation is supposed to be rearranged into a form where the constants a and b can be estimated using a function like Microsoft Excels 'LINEST' or similar to do regression analysis. So I thought this meant some sort of rearrangement so it could be approximated to a form such as: [itex]y=mx+c[/itex] or [itex]1/y=m/x+1/c[/itex]. My initial thought was to try and linearize it by the logs. Now I'm thinking it's probably alegraic rearrangement (without logarithms) but I'm not getting anywhere.
Sorry, I don't know how LINEST works. Also I'm at a loss as to how you could estimate [itex]a[/itex] and [itex]b[/itex] separately, given that they occur in the combination [itex]ab[/itex].
If you want to use natural logs then I would try the following.
Now define new variables [itex]u_1=x_1x_2-x_3x_4^4/c[/itex] and [itex]u_2=1+bx_1[/itex].
See page 4 in <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_descent>. [Broken] I think by linearization the poster might mean something like estimating a in y = e**ax using least squares. Take the log base e of both sides, then subject it to linear least squares.

It's 8:30 on a Friday morning, in a 12-by-12-foot cinder-block room in the basement of the Allegheny County Jail. And Theo is here to testify.
Sarah Shotland has just asked him and the other 14 men here if they have anything they want to share. Theo (not his real name) certainly does. He's a drug dealer, Theo says, and he's angry about it. Angry because when he leaves County, he's still going to be a drug dealer. Angry because he wants to provide for his family and doesn't know any other way to do it. Angry because he misses his kids — and because he's afraid that they'll do the same things he did, and end up here too.
The other men, all dressed in red scrubs and sitting in a circle, murmur assent.
"That's so real," one says. The others nod.
Shotland seizes the moment: "Who else is a dad?"
All 14 hands go up.

"His Pain" is officially a BJ The Chicago Kid track, but the first half is basically Kendrick Lamar's. Over a jazzy piano and upright bass, Lamar delivers a soulful and emotional rap, narrating a struggle to understand why his character, someone who makes immoral decisions, can be so blessed and at the same time see misfortunes happening to everyone around him. You'll hear his pain while his voice cracks and strains, struggling to get through his verses, as if he's on the verge of breaking down.
At two minutes and forty-five seconds, BJ The Chicago Kid gets his chance to show everyone why this is his song, stepping up to the plate with crisp soul-saturated vocals and impeccable lyricism. Some drums drop in a little after three minutes and for a moment the track takes off, eventually slowing down into a smooth warm finish.
"His Pain" is taken from BJ The Chicago Kid's Pineapple Now-Laters mixtape, which is set to release Valentines Day.


Lone Star Drills, a division of Little Beaver Inc. and manufacturer of efficient and portable drilling equipment, introduces high-torque Rineer rotary vane hydraulic motors for its LS400T+. The powerful water well and geothermal drill is Lone Star's largest rig and efficiently drills as deep as 400 feet through hard rock and volcanic formations. The new hydraulic motor reduces rotary service time from days to less than an hour.
Lone Star offers the LS400T+ with two different Rineer motors, both providing greater torque than the drill's previous hydraulic motor. The MV037 operates at a maximum speed of 125 rpm and is ideal for mud rotary drilling. The motor generates up to 1,030 foot-pounds of torque at 3,000 psi. The larger MV057 operates at a maximum speed of 60 rpm and is ideal for DTH hammer drilling. It offers as much as 2,200 foot-pounds of torque at 3,000 psi.
The LS400T+ delivers 15,000 pounds of pullback force — three times more than Lone Star Drills' next largest model — and 9,000 pounds of push-down force. And at a weight of 7,700 pounds, the drill requires less anchoring than lighter trailer-mounted rigs. It also accommodates 10-foot drill pipe, which allows crews to quickly reach target depth.

Cologix Opens New 5MW Data Center in Vancouver
Business, Data Center
VAN2 SOLD OUT IN SIX MONTHS
Edge data center provider Cologix, has just announced the opening of its new data center with 5MW of power capacity in Vancouver, Canada.
The new facility is code-named VAN3 and spans over 42,000 square foot. Located at 2828 Natal Street in Vancouver, VAN3 has direct connectivity to the Cologix operated carrier hotel at 555 Hastings, about 7km away.
According to the company, this expansion is set to meet growing demand for additional capacity and robust interconnection at the digital edge. Cologix adds that Vancouver is the third largest city in Canada, and has a strong digital content and media industry which also acts as a gateway to all Asian markets.
"Tripling our capacity in Vancouver, our VAN3 data center is a direct response to the growing demand for highly connected and scalable data center capacity from local digital media-intensive businesses and global cloud players," said Bill Fathers, Chairman and CEO of Cologix.
"Vancouver's economy has been propelled by film production, content, gaming and high tech companies as well as expansions of global SaaS, cloud and APAC hyperscalers. After VAN2 expansions sold out in six months, we responded by designing and delivering a new purpose-built facility to support high-density customers as they move workloads to the cloud and need direct access to hyperscale cloud providers."
VAN3 is a Tier III designed 2-story facility with dedicated, diverse and underground fiber connections. It offers up to 20 kW per cabinet with N+1 cooling. The company also sank $5 million in seismic upgrades to help protect customers in the event of an earthquake.
"Our new VAN3 facility represents the next step in Cologix's ongoing strategy to invest in and remain the market leader in colocation and interconnection services throughout Canada," said Sean Maskell, President Cologix Canada.
The company now boasts of a total of 60,000+ square foot and 8MW of power capacity in Vancouver, and providing connectivity to cloud services such as Amazon Web Services Direct Connect, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute, IBM Cloud and Oracle FastConnect.

Georgia has now full access to Horizon 2020: a great opportunity for research and innovation but at the same time a challenge for scientists and academia
19/01/2017 - Abel Polese
On the first of July 2016 Georgia signed an association agreement with the European Commission. This was the culmination of a number of agreements between the country and Brussels, granting Georgia a number of opportunities of direct access to funding.
In particular, on April 29th 2016, an agreement was signed by Georgia and the European Commission with regards to Horizon2020 funding. This was welcomed from both sides. Johannes Hahn, Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations said that "the full association of Georgia into Horizon 2020 will allow its enterprises and research institutions to become even more competitive and resilient".
H2020 is the largest EU program for research and innovation, with an official initial budget of €77 billion for the 2014-2020 period. The agreement places Georgia into the Olympus of countries that can claim direct funding for research and innovation activities. Direct funding is available only to EU members and a small number of other countries that have an agreement with the EU. Of the former USSR countries that are not members of the EU only Moldova can claim this status at the moment.
The importance of this step goes beyond its official significance. Not only Georgian institutions can apply for funding as a consortium coordinator. They can now receive direct funding. It is an act of extreme confidence in the country, its resources and management capacities.
Before the agreement Georgian organisations could participate in EU consortia as third country organisations. Georgian organisations participated in 49 funded projects under FP7 (H2020 predecessor, running from 2007-2013) and have been involved in eight projects since the beginning of H2020.
When can we expect change?
The new progresses mark a milestone in EU-Georgia relations. So far they could only be member of a consortium and their presence had to be somehow justified. Now, with no questions asked, Georgian organisations are fully entitled to be part of a consortium or even lead it and manage all the money. At least in theory.
The Ministry of Education and Research became concerned with the best ways to create a good environment for Georgian research institutes to apply for funding. Information days are held, H2020 is becoming widely publicised and university staff is invited to attend to learn more about the programme.
In addition to the Ministry, the Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation, established in 2010 with the goal of enhancing scientific progress in the country through funding Georgian R&D activities, has now been endorsed with the hard task of putting Georgian institutions into shape for applying for EU funding.
As one of the first steps, the Foundation organised the workshop "Navigating H2020 and its rules principles Opportunities and challenges for Georgian scientists" that was intended to provide an overview on EU funding opportunities.
The workshop was designed in a way to provide Georgian scientists some approaches to strategic thinking, enabling them to choose the right scheme and optimise the use of their resources from the application to the negotiation and management phases of a research project.
The event was widely advertised, video recorded and it featured among its participants some of the most successful scientists in all disciplines of the country.
First rule: If you want money, you need to ask for it
The first rule of funding is that, if you do not apply for money, you will never get the money. Attendance at the workshop was already good. But one thing is to devote a couple of working days to something, a different story is to devote weeks, or sometimes months, to a large project applications meeting all the requirements for funding.
To give an idea of the effort, most H2020 projects prize the winning consortium with €1-3 Million but they are extremely competitive and long to write. European Research Council grants have a success rate of around 10%, other schemes like the Marie Curie RISE have around 25% of success rate. However, some other funding scheme might see 30 or more consortia applying with only one winning in the end (thus a 3% success rate).
This is not the only complication. Funding is allocated according to academic excellence. Countries with better scientific traditions, and more investments in science, are more likely to win than others. It is sufficiently to think that the UK research institutions absorb almost half of the available EU funding in research and development activities whereas countries like Latvian have a very low number of projects funded.
As a result, a workshop on EU funding is definitely a good start. But to foster participation a few challenges have to be addressed.
Georgian researchers need to be motivated to apply for funding. How to do that? First is to convince people who have been taught that academic life and research is about teaching and sometimes writing that actually if they want money they need to participate in a competition.
Financial incentives have been reported to work, with Estonia introducing a preparation grant scheme, prizing non-funded applications that score over the threshold. This has brought a number of major projects, and millions, to the country. Lithuania is now trying to emulate this scheme to encourage its scientists to improve their performance. This has been attempted in Georgia as well but might not be enough.
EU project design is very specific, H2020 applications have a large component of management and business writing, with the need to outline work packages, milestones and explain the commercial or at least societal impact of a project.
While this can be seen as a good way to bring academics back to earth, it requires academics to become entrepreneurs. Now, if people are in academia rather than in business it is because they have a certain state of mind. Change is possible but will take time (and possibly generations).
Once we have all this, academics need to be strongly motivated. Most EU-funded projects require an immense effort in terms of planning, design, creation of a consortium, learning of administrative procedures and even creation of new legal documents that are sometimes not in use in a university, and I speak out of personal experience. Who is willing to embark into this adventure?
Early career researchers have the ambition, not to say necessity, to proof themselves and are easier to convince. But have little experience or capacity to do that. More advanced researchers are already established and do not necessarily need extra funding or confirmation, they already have their capital.
Once the right people are identified, they need to be prepared and trained into quality writing. They also need to be trained into how to identify partners, strategically manage projects and identify opportunities. This is not an easy task and it remains unclear how long will it take to Georgian scientists to learn the rules of the (new) game.
Once this is done, Georgian scientists will face fierce competition by their UK, Netherlands, German, French or Italian counterparts. This might mean that it will take a few years before a Georgian scientist is able to lead a major European consortium.
Building capacity is a slow process and passes for a long learning phase. Ultimately, being a member, rather than the leader, of a consortium would enable Georgian scientists to gather experience, contacts and strategic thinking necessary to prepare a major project. This has been the learning process of most new EU members and is likely to be similar for Georgia.
But Georgian scientists, and institutions, could be (and had been) members of scientific consortia also before the signature of the recent agreement. A conservative estimate on the current situation would suggest that to see the effects of this agreement, beyond the declarative and diplomatic ones, one might have to wait for years.
But conservative estimates can be challenged, and proved wrong, a thing that is now the next task for Georgia and its national scientists.

Nieminen, Anu; Lehtonen, Mikko: Organisational control in programme teams – An empirical study in change programme context; in: International Journal of Project Management, Vol. 26 (2008), No. 1, pp. 63-72.
Nieminen & Lehtonen search for control mechanisms and modes in organisational change programmes. Therefore the authors investigated four cases of organisational change programmes with a significant share of IT in them. Overall they identified 23 control mechanisms, which are used complimentary rather than exclusively.
The identified control mechanisms fall into three basic categories – (1) Bureaucratic Control, (2) Clan Control, and (3) Self Control. For each of these Nieminen & Lehtonen describe the focus, basis, and mechanisms of control.
Bureaucratic Control focuses on performance, i.e., behaviour, and outcomes, i.e., results and actions. The basis of bureaucratic control are rules and surveillance. Mechanisms typically employed are boundary and diagnostic mechanisms.
Clan Control focusses on socialisation, i.e., values, attitudes, and beliefs. The basis of clan control are interactions, values, and norms. Mechanisms typically employed are belief mechanisms, interactive mechanisms, and team control.
Self Control focusses on self-regulation, i.e., own actions vs. perceived organisational goals. It is based on self-monitoring and typically useses autonomoy as control mechanism.
In their empirical study Nieminen & Lehtonen find that a broad mix of control mechanisms is found in any programme, though significant differences exist between programmes. Furthermore the level of self-control seems to be positively related to other control mechanisms. Lastely the authors show that the physical environment strongly impacts the control mechanisms.
In their managerial implications Nieminen & Lehtonen conclude, that although ease of implementation is lowest for bureaucratic control – environments with ambigous goals need mechanisms of clan- and self-control.

For too long, the needs of American workers and the Middle Class have played second-fiddle to the wants, desires, and greed of Corporate America and their advocates in Congress. The same companies expend Millions of dollars making contributions to their selected Congressional members to ensure these trade deals slide through Congress. This is not fair to American workers!
American workers are now competing for jobs against countries which allow companies to employ slave-labor, use children to manufacture products, and illegally undercut prices to compete for contracts with American-based companies. Our American workers should not be forced to compete in an unfair labor market that forces them to compete with countries which do not protect workers.
In general, and because we have not been permitted to read or review the TPP in its entirety, I oppose the TPP because from rumored provisions and proposals, it does not seem to protect American workers from having to compete with foreign workers. I am generally not in favor of any trade policy which forces American workers to compete with Third World workers or which provides incentives for American companies to move their operations and factories overseas to avoid taxation, worker protections, or environmental protection.
International Trade is fine when it is Fair, when it benefits our economy, and when it helps businesses sell their products in expanding markets. The trade MUST to fair to America, must be fair to American small business, and must be fair to American workers.


ECONOMYNEXT – Sri Lankan exporters are not making enough use of a duty free arrangement with the United States and need to exploit it better, Harsha De Silva, Deputy Minister of National Policies and Economic Affairs, said.
The US Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) program gives duty free access for some Sri Lankan exports like rubber gloves, pneumatic tires and activated carbon.
"But not for our main export, apparel," De Silva told a forum on the US GSP program held by the Sri Lanka – USA business Council of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce.
Of 500 HS codes that are eligible to the US, only around 80-are 90 being used, De Silva said.

Q: AspectJ expression '@within' doesn't effect on concrete class which doesn't have public members Here are my sample classes:
public abstract class AbstractAgent {
    public void count(List<Movie> movies) {
        sum(movies);
    }

    protected abstract void sum(List<Movie> movies);
}

@Broker
public class DefaultAgent extends AbstractAgent {

    @Override
    protected void sum(List<Movie> movies) {
        Validate.notNull(movies);
    }

}

Aspect definition:
@Aspect
@Component
public class DaoObserver {

    @Pointcut("@within(source.service.Broker)")
    public void withinBroker() {
    }

    @AfterReturning("withinBroker()")
    public void alertBroker(JoinPoint jp) {
        System.out.println("Cached broker execution of {"
                + jp.getSignature().toShortString() + "}");
    }
}

I found the instance of DefaultAgent was not proxied!
Tried the line as below:
applicationContext.getBeansOfType(AbstractAgent.class);

Proposed I could find something like 'DefaultAgent$$EnhancerByCGLIB$$ae10cb14', but still 'DefaultAgent'.
Then I found it will work if I add one public method to class 'DefaultAgent'.
Dig further I found the root cause is in aspectj weaver:
org.aspectj.weaver.patterns.WithinAnnotationPointcut.matchInternal(Shadow)
@Override
protected FuzzyBoolean matchInternal(Shadow shadow) {
    ResolvedType enclosingType = shadow.getIWorld().resolve(shadow.getEnclosingType(), true);
    if (enclosingType.isMissing()) {
        shadow.getIWorld().getLint().cantFindType.signal(new String[] { WeaverMessages.format(
                WeaverMessages.CANT_FIND_TYPE_WITHINPCD, shadow.getEnclosingType().getName()) }, shadow.getSourceLocation(),
                new ISourceLocation[] { getSourceLocation() });
    }
    annotationTypePattern.resolve(shadow.getIWorld());
    return annotationTypePattern.matches(enclosingType);   **<--- AbstractAgent**
}

Is it a bug of aspectj weaver? How can I solve it since I have many concrete sub-classes in real biz and it's a standard implementation of pattern 'Template'.

A: Without having analysed the problem (I use AJ without Spring usually) and not having much time, I suggest you ask your question on the AJ users mailing list. The guys there are really competent and will probably find out if it is a bug. If you are pretty sure it is one, open a Bugzilla ticket.

A: Found the solution: @target is suitable for this case.
It's perfect to describe the difference between @within and @target.
How fool I am!

another post (planet quick-search api not recognizing authentication?) had this same error and this (https://gis.stackexchange.com/a/239588/139012) response mentioned that a flag may be misconfigured, I cannot find a way to change this though.
To clarify, the API is accepted with the stats search result but not with the quick-search.
The line PLANET_API_KEY = os.getenv('api key here') is the problem here. There are two ways to get this to work.
PLANET_API_KEY = 'f4168dd427ed4a179c30189adfbc749e` # THIS IS NOT A REAL API KEY!
The first approach is better if you are going to have lots of scripts or will need to change API key at times. But you will need to set an environment variable, which is done differently depending on which operating system you are using.

A wide river valley patchwork of barns, dairies, and fields flanked by steep mountains, southwestern British Columbia's Fraser Valley is about agriculture. It is the source for anything farm fresh, plus wineries, microbreweries, golf courses, sturgeon and salmon fishing.
The Fraser River flows through the valley, and has been an important source of food, transportation, and a trading route for First Nations for centuries. The annual return of salmon, swimming up the massive river to their spawning grounds, is an awe-inspiring natural wonder. Today the river continues to play a central role in British Columbia's geography and culture, and the fertile lands of the Fraser Valley inherently rely on the river's health.
Just an hour's drive east of Vancouver, the Fraser Valley is home restaurants, wineries, and breweries, all showcasing local ingredients.
An incredible experience for the whole family.
Beautiful. Unique. Awesome. Off-the-beaten path experiences.

This is used in the new Airport Extreme Base Stations.
"The CPU is a AMD Au1500 series RISC-based processor. It is based on the MIPS architecture, not PowerPC. At 333MHz it offers a lot of performance using very little power and hence not producing as much heat as more complicated chip architectures."
There you have it folks. No more Apple switching to AMD for their Power Mac line conspiracy theories. LET IT DIE.
Oh, and here's the link to the article.
This has nothing to do with an AMD processor NOT being used in Power Macs.
It only increases the chances of it, as AMD is in desperate need of a Teir-1 OEM, and AMD and Apple now have a proven prior relationship.
Or all the talks over the last years have simply been misconstrued and this is the true result of them.
This is exactly the reason we've heard talk of AMD-Apple relations recently. Now that someone's ripped apart an airport extreme base station, it's painfully obvious. OF COURSE THAT'S WHERE THE CONNECTION IS!!! Opteron or no Opteron...Athlon-64 or no Athlon-64, AMD's business is in embedded processors and flash memory. No matter what Hector does, his corp. will not overtake INTC. It just won't happen. We will never, ever, double never ever see an AMD cpu powering a Macintosh.
So in other words, bring on the 970 babyyyy!!
"We will never, ever, double never ever see an AMD cpu powering a Macintosh."
It's painfully obvious that you are either slightly slow or a troll. Never is a very, VERY strong word. Who would have thought in 1991 that the PowerPC, the architecture Apple started, would become solely an embedded processor from late 1997 to mid 2003?
I'm not saying it's likely at all. I'm saying it's a option, and the MIPS chip in the AEBS neither adds nor subtracts from the possibility of an AMD-based Power Mac.
"I''m not saying it's likely at all. I'm saying it's a option, and the MIPS chip in the AEBS neither adds nor subtracts from the possibility of an AMD-based Power Mac.
Let me break this down for you simply.
Apple and AMD have been talking for the last few years.
People have speculated that these talks are about Power Macs.
It is now revealed that AMD is supplying chips for Airport Base Stations.
This is an actual *CONFIRMED* reason for AMD and Apple talking all this time. Is it possible that AMD chips could go in Power Macs? Anything is possible. HOWEVER, now we have concrete evidence of the fruits of at least some of those mysterious talks that everyone and their mother construed as negotations for Apple to jump to their Opteron.
While I think the AMD/Apple talk is hogwash, the AirPort Extreme Basetation having an AMD processor has little to do with anything. The Snow basestation uses an AMD 486 derivative as well. 'AMD' can be found in quite few boards of older products too.
The AEBS provides a plausible explanation for Apple/AMD talks.
But that doesn't mean that Apple is only interested in MIPS chips and Flash RAM from AMD. They could be discussing all kinds of other things, like AMD based Power Macs, especially with a healthy working relationship they've evidently established.
Also as Eugene pointed out, they are generic components. Apple probably talked to AMD to get the best deal (buying in such huge volumes), but they could have purchased the chips through a reseller. It could be that Apple is looking at using Opteron chips, and this is completely co-incidental.
There are ways in which this increases the chance that Apple is going to make AMD based Macs, and ways in which it decreases it. I don't believe it's significant either way. Use of AMD chips would be unexpected, but I don't see what the AEBS has to do with anything.
I opened up my Mac SE and there was an AMD chip on the motherboard and I am pretty sure it was the SCSI controller.
Yep, there's one on my 7500 motherboard as well. Guess that means that Apple IS going with AMD chips...and they have been for a long time.
What it has to do with Apple's CPU of choice, I'm not really sure. Personally, I don't think they'll ever use an x86 if they can help it, because they would be out of business very soon if they did.
I think it's funny that one more reasonable explanation to something pop's up in a rumor forum, and the mindless baboons come out, and criticize the reality they cant face.
I think it's possible that Apple's talks with AMD could have much to do with this particular processor. What if AMD was thinking about ending this particular embedded processor to free up more cash for R, & D in their struggle to keep up, and surpass Intel? That would bring me to germany in a heartbeat to see if there any alternatives, or a resolution. Airport has to keep evolving. AMD is supplying the main processor for it. I would be concerned.
I don't doubt that Apple has chatted about Hyper-Transport with them. I also think it's possible that little AMD chips similar to this one may be going into the 970 motherboard's, and I'm sure Apple has interest in that if they are in deed using any.
AMD had been in talks with motorola as well for a time, and I don't know if IBM, and AMD have any sort of relationship, but if I were Apple I would be looking to replace the M, in AIM research group (Apple, IBM, Motorola).
For the most part I think this is a relevant post because I don't see Apple going with anything other the PPC EVER!, and IS NEVER GOING TO USE X86 in a PowerMac, or any Mac.
So in addition to hyper-transport, Apple certainly does have at least one more reasonable explanation for talking to AMD.
Good job spotting this one BR.
Finally a sane person. Thanks.
Also, IBM has publicly stated it wants many more PPC partners to spread the architecture around more - part of this was the open PPC PDA spec.
Despite the love affair geeks have with AMD, they are a struggling company that needs all the customers it can get. Intel could easily crush them, as could MS (it doesn't have to make Windows run on AMD).
Apple and AMD may well have been talking, but if it is about CPUs it will be PPC ones not x86. More likely though is that it's about some new custom chip for an as yet unreleased product.
Did you read the thread, onlooker? BR's original post is pretty silly.
Apple doesn't need to engage AMD in talks just to use their embedded chips. The embedded chip market doesn't turn over that much. Motorola still manufactures 68000s for example. There's really no danger of that AMD chip suddenly not being manufactured anymore. Besides, that's at most a couple of 30 minute phonecalls.
AMD wouldn't bother anyway. The price of these components is probably not negotiable in quantity.
I don't care about mystery AMD/Apple talks and BR's revelation doesn't shed any light on that anyway.
Totally agree with Eugene here. Personally, I don't think Apple is ever going to use an AMD cpu. But, the fact that Apple uses a generic part, manufactured by AMD doesn't mean that's what they have been in discussions over. The chip in the AEB is just a component part, not something Apple would be in high level negotiations with AMD about. Apple uses a lot of wires and solder, but I don't think they are negotiating those at high levels. It just doesn;t make sense for there to be executive level negotiations over generic parts.

The Abandoned Rodman Guns of Fort Foote
Posted on June 24, 2018 by WolfeStreetTravel
So, we were supposed to be publishing posts from our Edinburgh trip this weekend (as well as a bunch of other backlogged posts), but it's too much work right now.
However, after a ride today over the Woodrow Wilson Bridge into Prince Georges County, we thought this may be interesting to share instead. All of the quoted information below is from this helpful National Park Service site.
Fort Foote was one of 68 ring forts constructed during the Civil War to protect the capital city from Confederate attack. It's still around, but is well and truly hidden. Seriously. We grew up in the area, are well aware of Fort Hunt on our side of the Potomac and the massive Fort Washington on the opposite shore, and had never heard of Fort Foote. It took the 2008 opening of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge replacement – with outstanding pedestrian and bike infrastructure to reach Prince Georges County – to make us aware of its existence. Even with this revelation, it's still jarring to wander through the overgrown site, turn a corner, and stumble upon the massive abandoned Rodman guns.
Some background on Fort Foote from the Park Service:
"In 1862 the battle between the Monitor and Merrimac, at Hampton Roads, created panic in Washington. As the war progressed, many European countries seemed eager to join the fight on the side of the Confederacy. Fort Washington, on the Potomac River 16 miles below Washington was considered too far away to be adequately supported. Therefore the protection of the city from naval attack became a major concern and army engineers began building earthworks to resist naval bombardment."
"In the words of General Barnard they were "in many respects, model works. Fort Foote was constructed for the purpose of defending, in connection with Battery Rogers, the water approach to the city."
Battery Rodgers, as it happens, is just a few blocks away from us in Old Town – there's a historical marker on the 800 block of South Lee Street, just a little west of where the battery stood during the Civil War.
"Fort Foote was situated six miles below Washington,on a commanding bluff of the Maryland shore, elevated 100 feet above the river. The fort was essentially completed in the fall of 1863, and was designed as a water battery of eight 200-pounder Parrott rifles and two 15-inch guns."
Location of Fort Foote (and Battery Rodgers):
The Saturday in May 2008 that the new bridge and bike lane opened, one of us headed across to explore, with Fort Washington as the destination for the ride. On the way, right on the curve of Fort Foote Road, was an unassuming sign in a field by an empty gravel parking lot.
There only signage in the park is a hundred yards into the woods, where there's barely a trail to follow:
Even from this location, there was no fort or guns to be seen. Only a long berm, overgrown with bushes and saplings. This turned out to be the remains of one of the earthworks.
Beyond, lay one of the guns:
Some background on Fort Foote's firepower during the Civil War from the Park Service site: "The first 15-inch gun arrived in the fall of 1863 and by April 1865 the fort boasted of two 15-inch Rodman Cannons, four 200 pounder Parrott Rifles and six 30 pounder Parrott Rifles. The work was declared complete on June 6, 1865. A large crowd of civilian and military observers gathered to watch the guns fire on February 27 and again on April 1, 1864. The 8-inch Parrott Rifles weighed over 8 tons and used 16 pounds of powder to fire its 200-pound projectile 2,000 yards down the river. But the fort's main attraction was the 15-inch [Rodmans]. They weighed in at 25 tons and required 300 to 400 soldiers to move them up the bluff from the river. Forty pounds of powder could send a 440-pound round-shot over 5,000 yards."
It's difficult to convey how truly huge these mothers are without some perspective, even from a shot this close:
So, some perspective:
The guns are massive, and they're basically just abandoned in the woods. "During the Civil War the 15-inch guns cost the government $9,000 each but they could do major damage to a wood sailing ship-of-war. At close range, even the iron clads were not safe from the massive weapons."
"During our Civil War most European navies armed their vessels with 9-inch rifled guns. Other technologies such as the screw propeller, steam engine, rotating gun turret and iron-sided ships with watertight compartments were making our seacoast defenses obsolete. Our government could not afford an arms races so it was decided to wait and see how the gun versus ship race progressed before investing in changes. In 1870, the army started an extensive program to modify existing defenses. Inexpensive earthwork batteries were armed with existing smoothbore guns, primarily the 15-inch Rodman. A few guns were mounted but funds were withdrawn in 1875. The Chief of Engineers stated in his 1877 annual report, "Our largest guns, of which we have any number, is a 15-inch smooth-bore, and weighs over 25 ton. We have about 325 of them for our entire coast of 12,600 miles."
The 15-inch gun was finally tested at Sandy Hook, NJ in 1883. It was found that 130 pounds of black-powder created 25,000 pounds of pressure in the chamber and at 20 degrees elevation the gun could send a 440-pound shell over 3 1/2 miles. At 1,000 yards the round-ball projectile could pierce 10 inches of iron. No warship, regardless of how well armored, could afford to trade shots with a 15-inch Rodman at close range."
I've brought riding partners to the site when they join me for the ride east from Alexandria into PG County, and some have found more creative ways to provide the size context:
If you have 15 minutes to blow after a visit to National Harbor, Fort Foote is worth checking out. Unassuming, overgrown, and with two big ass Rodman guns sitting in a sylvan setting as incongruous reminders of the site's power for a few years in the 1860s. The now-homely site even hosted some notables during the war:
"The first unit to garrison Fort Foote was four companies of the 9th New York Heavy Artillery that arrived on August 12, 1863. The post was commanded by lieutenant Colonel William H. Seward, Jr., the son of the Secretary of State. The secretary visited the post often while his son was in command and President Lincoln visited the fort on August 20, 1863 with the Secretary of War and number of high-ranking army officers."

"Welcome to the Home Page of this sub-domain site. As you may have guessed from the title of the site; this site is all about my – Sharron-Idol's – EP entitled
* Cosmic *.
At this point I'd probably show a picture of the EPs cover; but there are too many pictures of the EPs cover on this site already; so, instead I'll display something that's apt.
As I state on the About page; this site is all about and only about my EP * Cosmic * – because I went to the trouble of creating the EP, and of having it distributed via the official music industry outlets; such as iTunes, and CD Baby, and others too. – So to leave it at that makes the whole shebang pretty pointless… This website acts as not just an information source, but also as advertising and promotion.
Yes I could have had a website… Well a home page that is a website… made in seconds at a fraction of the cost + physical effort that this site took up;
…but those sites are two-a-penny, + many of them run on flash = ancient technology that a lot of browsers no longer run and which search-engines have difficulty reading, + they're not my sites: They're not on my domain, I can't control their content, I have no say over them other than – for as long as the domain owner allows it – whether they continue to exist while I pay for the site to stay online: That involves handing control of part of my operation to a third-party, allowing that third-party extra leeway, and allowing that third-party to create material for me which looks very much like the material they created for every other artist or band.
Fuck that for a game of soldiers: My intention is to stand out, rather than blend into the mass and disappear into perfect camouflage.
Beside which I want to get some practice in at making sub-domain websites, as I'll be creating one of these – though maybe just the home page, a post, and another page – for each of my future releases. I value my music, and, rather than just creating it and throwing it into the mass of total music in the hope that somebody hears it, I want to make it known, and I want to sell it rather than give it away because it has a value: It has me in it, it has my talent in it, and it has my time, my effort, and some of my money in it.
My releases are made for your entertainment and for you to enjoy; but they are also worth something; so expect to trade for them, rather than just get everything for free.
– And on that note I present to you my website which is purely and exclusively related solely to my July 2017-released EP entitled * Cosmic *.
This site that you see before you is experimental, and it gives news of the prior release of my EP titled * Cosmic *, which was release in July 2017.
This site is associated with, and is a sub-domain of, Sharron-Idol's main website: Bugger All On dot TV.
Well hello. – I'm Sharron-Idol, and I'm responsible for creating the EP * Cosmic *.
– That's what this particular small website on this sub-domain of my main site is all about: Its dedicated entirely and exclusively to my EP * Cosmic *.
Whereas my main website deals with and seeks to give value from both my overall career and some technical assistance for other performing artists; (I'm a tech-geek entertainer, that's my USP, (Unique Selling Point) so I give a little value from my technical abilities in addition to my artistic activities.) this website is slightly different in its intention: It hopefully gives value; but only with regard to a single area. – That being everything related to my EP * Cosmic * exclusively.
Yes this website is all about Sharron-Idol's EP * Cosmic *; which was released on Friday 28th July 2017.
This is the first such website that I've created on a sub-domain exclusively for just one release. This is a practice for the real thing. – But this practice is happening, in this one single instance, after the event. – Yes this site is being created at the end of August/beginning of September 2017.
Like I say; this is a practice set-up.
In future I intend to have a website set up and ready on a sub-domain to cover an instance of one of my releases from preamble right through to post-release events… And that's going to involve a lot more work than just reporting on things after the event like this site does; so on my next release I'll be on practice #2: The big one. I have trepidations imagining writing the About page for that! – That'll test my metal – even if metal is not the genre' of my next release lol.
In all there are five pages (Including this one.) on this site at this point in time.
Below is a listing, links, and a commentary on each of them.
The Home Page.
The Home Page is the page on which many visitors will begin with this site. A home page; any home page, is like a shop front: It's a display of what to expect inside. It greets the visitor. It introduces them to the site, and gives a brief overview of the content and the purpose of the whole thing, and gives the reader a first impression.
The About Page (This page.)
The About Page is le an extension of the Home Page inasmuch as it goes further in depth with regard to the content and the purpose of the site. Like its name suggests it tells the observer about the site: But not about the author's life story and history in minute detail. – That can be added to their profile and bio if they really think anybody would be interested in reading it.
The Blog Page
Probably one of the worst things a website owner, a webmaster, can do, is to have a sequential full listing, in chronological order, of every blog post on their Home Page. – It's a good idea to keep such listings to the Blog Page – and that's the page's function. Sometimes it's a good idea to fragment the listing and have it across several pages; as with the blog page listing on my main site. – But there really aren't enough posts on this particular site on this sub-domain to justify doing so in this case.
The Contact Page
It could be the case that readers and visitors may wish to, at some point, contact the author/star/celebrity/bighead/dreamer – OK, me – To convey an idea or perhaps discuss any issues arising, whatever. It may well be a good idea to include a contact-form or similar on the page. In this case; since I have said contact form already created and waiting for readers' usage on my m ain site; I simply link to it.
The Samples Page
On a site like this I could write a billion words. I could spend millions employing top advertising consultants to create stunning adverts, and produce the best copywriting ever. – But that wouldn't allow you, the reader, to sample the tracks of the release in question. – And so, as a matter of course, we include a samples page, with a set of players, for you to whet your musical appetite with individual samples of the tracks.
You may be asking why?
Why set up an entire website for this and all future releases? – That's a heck of a lot of work! – I mean come on Idol you crazy fuck; are you trying to give yourself an internet-overload?
Well look; the way I see it, if I'm going to all the trouble and expense of creating a new release then surely that deserves more than a page or two of write up on a single website? – That being my main website, on which it eventually gets lost in the noise as the site grows.
I mean yeah it's extra work; but it's worth the effort because it was worth the effort for me to create the music/lyrics or whatever, and go through all the processes involved in the release of my work: That in itself adds value to an already valuable piece of work that I created from sheer talent and determination. That value will either be wasted by quickly fading into obscurity as the product goes unmentioned after the buzz dies, or it'll be added to and the release kept alive by added input, reviews, publicity… and having its own website pretty much ensures that it doesn't ever totally vanish into obscurity; at least until the website vanishes.
I originally intended for more content to be added to this About page; coming soon: But I think that this will do, as it is now. Why not start receiving updates on everything Idol by email. I warn you that I currently only write emails fairly rarely though; even though I pay AWeber almost $20 a month for my account. – Something needs sorting out there.

Well that's looking good: On this site I have a home page, I have a blog page, I have an about page, and I have this contact page. I also have a blog post too. Anything else that appears as a page or post on this site has been added, either by me or by hackers, since I wrote this piece.
*Note for my own future reference: It took me 6 days of part-time work of average intensity to create this site as stated above in late August 2017.
This is, like, meant to be a contact page; but I'm not adding any forms plugin for the purpose. – I've added enough plugins already – and I'm not going to write and debug my own routine either; that takes too long, and I don't want to spend ages creating this sub-domain site.
There is a contact page on my main website. There's also a terms of service page, a testimonials page, and privacy policy page. Those are just as applicable to this site as they are to my main site; so guess what: I'm going to link to them, at the main site, below, on this page: –

When Mrs Ruth Luck passed away in 1964, she left her property to the Borough of Scottburgh for the purpose of establishing a home for the aged. In 1979, Alexandra Park was opened.
Alexandra's retirement villages are run as a non-profit organisation. They have been serving the community by providing affordable retirement living.
Alexandra Park Nursing Home Scottburgh is in the suburb of Scottburgh, juts two kilometres from the Scottburgh business centre. This frail care home accommodates 80 senior citizens and has frail care facilities for 40 people.
We provide nursing 24/7 to those in need.
What truly sets Alexandra Park frail care apart from other establishments in the industry is the warmth and the team spirit the employees share. "We work hard as a team and try to make the transition from independent living to assisted living easier for our residents," she says.
We believe it's important to connect to our residents, we do this even before a new person arrives at our facilities. We begin by finding out what support they will need as well as their backgrounds in order to see if there is additional support we can provide.
A number of Churches have become very involved with our operations. This is often very important for individuals at this point in their lives.


Alfred Nobel was born on October 21st1833 in Stockholm. Coming from a family of engineers, industrialists and weapon manufacturers, he perpetuates the family tradition by becoming himself a chemist and weapon manufacturer. He will file up to 355 scientific patents. The best known, and the one which he will accumulate a great fortune, is that of dynamite.
In 1888, eight years before his death, a French journalist published a necrology, which was dedicated to him: "The Merchant of Death is dead". The journalist who made the mistake actually refers to Alfred Nobel's brother, Ludwig, who died in an explosion in one of the family's factories. Alfred Nobel, deeply shocked by the article, will make every effort to leave a better image after his death.
Alfred Nobel died in 1896. In his will written in 1895, he left almost all of his fortune to a fund whose interests must reward those who have rendered humanity the greatest services in the past year.
These awards are divided into five categories: chemistry, medicine, literature, peace and physics. It is stipulated that the nationality will not be taken into account, that the prize will be given during the lifetime of the winner and that it cannot be awarded to more than three people at the same time.
The Nobel foundation was created in June 29th1900. The first prizes were awarded in Stockholm the 10thof December 1901. Since then, 590 Nobel Prizes have been awarded to 935 persons or organizations.
Ever since the creation of this distinction, two personalities have deliberately refused the prize: Believing that this distinction would have limited this freedom to act, in 1964 Jean Paul Sartre, refused the Nobel of literature. The Vietnamese diplomat Duc Tho refused in 1973 the Nobel Peace Prize, considering that the Paris Agreements that ended the Vietnam War did not really pacify his country.

Q: Firebase - Query by nested key I have a data structure like this:
UserOrders
    unique-userid-100
        unique-orderid-456
            [order details here]
        unique-orderid-123
            [order details here]
    unique-userid-200
        unique-orderid-789
            [order details here]
    ....

For admin functionalities, I need to query using the orderid (without knowing the userid) and get order details? How can I efficiently do this?
I tried this but I get all the data under UserOrders.
ref.child("UserOrders").queryOrdered(byChild: "unique-orderid-456").observeSingleEvent(...

A: Using Firebase API, we can only filter one level nested data.
So, for this first it will be needed to map users to there orders like :-
UserOrders
unique-userid-100

    unique-orderid-456 = true
    unique-orderid-123 = true
unique-userid-200
    unique-orderid-789 = true
....

Then find userid for an order using query :-
let ref  = FIRDatabase.database().reference()
        ref.child("UserOrders").queryOrdered(byChild: "unique-orderid-456").queryEqual(toValue: true).observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { (snapshot) in
  // here userid will be obtained for an order, using this ref/<userid>/unique-orderid-456 can be observed to get order details

})

This is a work around, but it will be good if you can reconsider to restructure data

Very good, peaceful community with good access to stores, train station etc. Prompt service response.
I lived here with my husband when we first got married and we had a wonderful experience. We wanted to live off the beaten path and we found that with Chaddwell.
The community is beautiful and feels more like a holiday place. The apartments are well maintained and the leasing office staff have always been helpful.
Pleasant and quiet neighborhood. Nice apartments conveniently located near shopping and other activities. Grounds are well maintained and service seems good.
Living at Chaddwell for 7+ years has been great. They are helpful and responsive to any questions we have or issues that arise. I love living here and feel very lucky to be a part of this community.
The property is well taken care of. The apartment is well laid out and well taken care of. Any problems are taken care of immediately. We are extremely happy to have chosen Chaddwell as our home and have advised our friends of this.
It's a wonderful place to live. Close to everything we need. If we call to have anything done or fixed, it's done immediately. Everyone is so friendly.

Stan Badz Steve Stricker hits a tee shot on the the sixth hole during the first round of the 2017 PGA Tour Champions Regions Tradition.
Call him the sentimental favorite at the U.S. Open. Steve Stricker is happy to carry that label. The 50-year-old Wisconsin native wanted desperately to be in the field next week at Erin Hills when the USGA's marquee event is played for the first time in his home state. And after shooting round of 67-65 at the Sectional Qualifier at Ridgeway Country Club and Germantown Country Club outside of Memphis, he got his wish, earning medalist honors while grabbing one of nine spots available for the 104 player field.
Indeed, all's well that ends well for the 2017 U.S. Presidents Cup captain, but it wasn't from a lack of effort. Stricker initially petitioned the USGA to seek a special exemption into the championship, a measure generally reserved for previous U.S. Open winners. When his request was denied, Stricker knew the only way to fulfill his dream was to play his way into the field. So for the past several weeks, Stricker has worked on his game, competing in PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions events while his focus actually being June 5 and the 36-hole qualifier in Tennessee.
It wasn't just Stricker who was happy with the results, but the USGA as well.
Stricker wasn't the only veteran tour pro who dug deep on Monday to earn his spot into the U.S. Open. Stewart Cink shot a 68-66 at the Sectional Qualifier in Columbus, Ohio, to earn a spot in his 20th U.S. Open as well. The 44-year-old had to skip an attempt at qualifying for last year's Open at Oakmont after learning only two months earlier that his wife, Lisa, had been diagnosed with breast cancer.


When to use machine learning vs deep learning in healthcare?
Last winter, UK witnessed its worst flu season, as death rate tripled and doctors saw a major increase in patients. Some found the effects of their flu vaccine in vain because unexpected strains were looming. Generally, flu vaccine is developed six months ahead of a presumable epidemic season, sometimes, changes in weather and flu virus mutations will alter clinicians' predictions, reducing the effectiveness of vaccine.
This is when machine learning can help. To enable a computer to learn on its own and make sound decisions thereafter is vital but often, clinicians are also armed with the necessary skills to make diagnosis. Thus, adopting an expensive technology to perform something ubiquitous may violate the efficiency and cost-effective values which most hospitals work towards to.
However, a different story runs for an epidemic outbreak prediction. Coupled with data from historic records, climate, demographics and geography, outbreak severity can be accurately predicted with the use of machine learning and this is especially important for developing countries with life-threatening epidemic seasons such as Malaria.
On the other hand, deep learning is useful to process multiple layers of nonlinear data or to make accurate decisions for a complex problem like outcome of clinical trials. Patients with the same diagnosis may react differently based on their demographics, genetic predisposition and health, so do drugs.
By predicting side effects and activation pathways, deep learning promises researchers with reliable directions of how to improve the efficiency of the clinical trials and hasten the drug development process.
While everything renders possibilities, it become clear that clinicians need to recognize when is the best time to employ machine or deep learning. With that, a group of experts are coming together to give share their insights and stories.
