Q: Entity Framework 6 mapping issues I've been using EF for a while, but with just basic normalized tables, and little-to-no relationships between them. Now I'm looking to branch out and running into some mapping issues, that I'm sure are just solved by some simple OnModelCreating() changes, or additional model properties.
I'm creating a website to manage events that can occur at various locations. Each event is an entity. Each event has some basic primitive properties, but it also has a virtual ICollection<TimeSlot>.
    public virtual ICollection<TimeSlot> TimeSlots
    {
        get { return mTimeSlots ?? (mTimeSlots = new Collection<TimeSlot>()); }
        set { mTimeSlots = value; }
    }

TimeSlot is pretty simple too, it's supposed to represent a container for a collection of activities to occur at a particular time.
public class TimeSlot
{
    private ICollection<TimeSlotItem> mItems;

    public virtual ICollection<TimeSlotItem> Items
    {
        get { return mItems ?? (mItems = new Collection<TimeSlotItem>()); }
        set { mItems = value; }
    }

    [Key]
    public virtual int Id { get; set; }

    public virtual string Label { get; set; }
}

Since EF can't map to collections of primitive type (string in this case), I created another entity called TimeSlotItem, which is simply a string entity mapping.
public class TimeSlotItem
{
    [Key]
    public virtual int Id { get; set; }

    public virtual string Description { get; set; }
}

My issue is how to map this all together. EF doesn't map these correctly by default, as when I seed my database with some events, timeslots, and timeslotitems, it simply only maps everything to one of the events (the first one), and none of the others. I don't think the foreign keys are setup to map correctly. It's probably not doing a many-to-many at the moment, but it should, at least I believe.
My mapping is:
    protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        modelBuilder.Entity<FaroEvent>()
            .HasMany(f => f.TimeSlots);
        modelBuilder.Entity<TimeSlot>()
            .HasMany(f => f.Items);
    }

Lazy loading is enabled in the ctor.
My seed is:
    protected override void Seed(MyEventsDataContext context)
    {
        //  This method will be called after migrating to the latest version.

        var timeSlotItems = new List<TimeSlotItem>
        {
            new TimeSlotItem {Description = "Do stuff 1"},
            new TimeSlotItem {Description = "Do stuff 2"},
            new TimeSlotItem {Description = "Do stuff 3"},
        };
        timeSlotItems.ForEach(t => context.TimeSlotItems.AddOrUpdate(i => i.Description, t));
        context.SaveChanges();

        var timeSlots = new List<TimeSlot>
        {
            new TimeSlot
            {
                Label = "Slot 1",
                Items = new Collection<TimeSlotItem> {timeSlotItems[0], timeSlotItems[1], timeSlotItems[2]}
            },
            new TimeSlot
            {
                Label = "Slot 2",
                Items = new Collection<TimeSlotItem> {timeSlotItems[0], timeSlotItems[1], timeSlotItems[2]}
            },
            new TimeSlot
            {
                Label = "Slot 3",
                Items = new Collection<TimeSlotItem> {timeSlotItems[0], timeSlotItems[1], timeSlotItems[2]}
            },
        };
        timeSlots.ForEach(t => context.TimeSlots.AddOrUpdate(i => i.Label, t));
        context.SaveChanges();

        var events = new List<MyEvent>
        {
            new MyEvent
            {
                Address = "123 Street Ln",
                CampaignId = "abc123",
                City = "City",
                CreatedDate = DateTime.Now,
                EventDate = DateTime.Now,
                EventType = "TradeShow",
                Name = "Show Name",
                ProductInterest = "MyArm",
                State = "State",
                Zipcode = "12345",
                TimeSlots = new Collection<TimeSlot> {timeSlots[0], timeSlots[1], timeSlots[2]}
            },
            new MyEvent
            {
                Address = "123 Street Ln",
                CampaignId = "abc123",
                City = "City",

                TimeSlots = new Collection<TimeSlot> {timeSlots[0], timeSlots[1], timeSlots[2]}
            },
            new MyEvent
            {
                Address = "123 Street Ln",
                CampaignId = "abc123",

            },
        };
        events.ForEach(t => context.MyEvents.AddOrUpdate(i => i.Name, t));
        context.SaveChanges();
    }

A: Try this:
modelBuilder.Entity<FaroEvent>().HasMany(f => f.TimeSlots).WithMany(f => f.Items);

A: To get a better understanding of Fluent APIs and understand how do you have to map your entities, I used to use the Entity Framework Power Tools, or Entity Framework Reverse Code-First POCO Generator tools and let the tool generates the classes for me after I define what my table should look like in SQL database. this approach can help you start with the Fluent API and get a better understanding.
Hope that helps.


When Eve asked to feature my children in her article, I asked her for the definition of "prodigy" because different words can mean different things to different people, and I have never thought my kids belong to that category. Her answer was "to do things ahead of his peers".
Being a bit more cautious, I checked the dictionary, and it says, "to be endowed with exceptional abilities", and in that case, there are many people who are prodigies, because every child is indeed endowed with a different exceptional ability. If you were to ask me what is the exceptional ability this daughter who is featured in this article has, I'd tell you she is a social butterfly, very good with people, and super observant. When those things are in place, she manages to get her things done in effective ways, and her friends will run to her rescue when she needs them. The university is a mini society and to have friends to look out for you makes things a lot easier, that's why even when we were apprehensive to send her to university at fourteen, we were at ease after her first semester for whatever she lacked 'intellectually', she more than made up for it by working and learning together with her friends.


Glitchmachines is a privately owned and operated circuit bending brand that is dedicated to producing aesthetically unique, high quality instruments. Glitchmachines is focused on fusing modern art and design with circuit bent instruments in order to produce products that look as intriguing as they sound.
Q: Who all is involved with Glitchmachines and when did this venture start up?
Glitchmachines is run by myself, Ivo Ivanov, and was founded in 2005.
Q: How many bends a week would you say you do, or how often do you complete a bend?
On average, I work on 3-5 bends a week, time permitting. I often have multiple orders that are worked on simultaneously. If I can get everything synced up, I like to do my orders in stages; one day for prep and drilling, one day for painting, one day for soldering, one day for testing.
Q: Is this a full time job for you or do you make a living elsewhere?
I am 32 years old and a returning college student. My primary motivation for doing this is my interest in sound design, electronics, and art. I am currently enrolled at the Expression College for New Media in Emeryville, CA. I am working towards a Bachelor's degree in Applied Science with an emphasis on sound design within the field of Interactive Entertainment (video games). I was the first ever recipient of the $10,000 Game Audio Network Guild Scholarship in 2006.
Q: How many units would you say you have bent in total?
I don't have the exact number, but I am definitely well over 150 units since 2005.
Q: What's the most requested bent item you sell?
My most frequently sold instrument is the Syntax Cataract. Thus far, I have sold over 70 units. I frequently run special edition versions of this instrument which feature one-of-a-kind paint jobs. The 'standard' unit sells for $200 and the special editions run between $225 – $250.
Q: If you had to have a favorite bend what would it be and what makes it number one in your book?
There are so many great bends out there that are all characteristically unique, but I'm particularly fond of Casio keyboards in general. The Casio MT-140 is a great unit with a wealth of possibilities for all kinds of interesting bends. The Casio MT-500 is a very interesting bend, but also one of the more difficult for me to build, as I incorporate industrial grade arcade joysticks which are very tedious to mount into the speaker ports.
Q: What was the biggest dollar amount you netted on one bend?
I have sold a variant of the Logic Bomb for $400. It's often difficult to price my units because of the crossover into the art world. If I were to price them in a different context, as artwork, they would likely be much more expensive. I believe that I have come up with a pricing structure that is reasonable, competitive, and relevant to the circuit bending scene and music community.
Q: Does the love for bending wear off, having to bend so much for so many other people?
I would never do this if I didn't love it completely. More often than not, I am so eager to implement a new design idea that I can hardly wait to get back to my work bench. Of course, there are certainly moments where I get frustrated, but I always try to implement new ideas to keep things fresh. When you are going to school full time and coming home to 5 projects that all need to be finished and shipped as soon as possible, it can sometimes be a little much.
Q: Do you sell a lot of things on the net, or to people locally in San Francisco?
I use eBay quite a bit. It's been such an excellent retail platform for me and has allowed for me to reach a worldwide audience. Myspace has been a really solid resource as well. I have been able to build a strong network of contacts and am now at a point where I receive multiple inquiries on a daily basis. The best thing about Myspace is that it has put me in touch with artists that I would otherwise have no connection with. People like Richard Devine and Otto Von Schirach have come to me on their own accord, requesting custom units. Occasionally I will be commissioned to do work from someone in person, on a local basis.
Q: What would you say to people that would tell people not to buy bent instruments, rather build them yourself for a lot less?
I'd say that I fully encourage anyone who is interested to get into bending their own stuff. It's all relative though. It's like saying that everyone should stop buying art and just start painting themselves. It takes a certain amount of savvy and patience to deal with electronics. I believe that with Glitchmachines, I offer a product that most people would not be able to easily replicate. I have definitely seen a lot of bent gear being put up for sale that is underdeveloped and of questionable quality. Hopefully, people are generally aware of what they are buying, but I know that this is not always the case.
Q: Do you ever make your secrets known…and lend advice on bends when contacted for help?
I do, but I treat situations like that on an individual basis. Sometimes if I answer a question with too much enthusiasm, it can lead to a full on tutorial, which is time consuming and often under appreciated. I try to guide people in the right direction without spelling things out completely. After all, circuit bending is all about exploration and I think it's cheap to just use someone else's methods without putting any effort into making your own discoveries.
Q: Do you have a private stash of bent toys just for you? Stuff you use for your own recreation? If so how are they used?
I do have a few units that I keep around for my own enjoyment. I typically incorporate them into my music project "acrodot". I have been asked to perform live solely with my instruments, but it has thus far not come to fruition.
Q: Where would someone go to get a hold of one of your machines?
I can be reached at: acrodot@gmail.com I typically refer people to my Myspace page so that they can have an idea of my body of work. I then narrow it down according to a client's particular interests and we decide on a unit. I like to take custom color combination requests, though I typically reserve complete creative control over the design of each instrument. Occasionally, I release special edition units that are posted on eBay. If you add "glitchmachines" as one of your favorite sellers, you will be prompted next time that such an instrument is made available.
I'd like to thank everyone at GetLoFi for taking an interest in my work. This site has been a great resource over the course of its existence, and has been an instrumental platform for illustrating happenings within the circuit bending community.
Cool…We thank you as well, for answering these questions. We wish only the best to you and the future of Glitchmachines.


I was in my local (small, and entirely unblocaded) Intermarché an hour ago. I needed some coffee beans and some dried peas (quite by chance): I got the last of each.
Meanwhile there were still mounds of cheap Xmas chocolates. I have no idea whether this was coincidence, or supply problems, or hoarding. Either way, I'm stuffed if I want to spend Xmas living on Ferrero Rochers. I'm checking my fridge, and going out with a couple of big bags early tomorrow.
Penny has just reminded me that we have foie gras and Xmas pudding if all else fails. The perfect balanced diet.
And also "La Fin des Grains". I bought the last bag of whole coffee beans (which were average at the best of times) at Intermarchë the other day. I knew, in a theoretical way, that Amazon sold them, but I don't know whether or when I'd have ever have looked there apart from the fear of running out over "the holidays". It turns out that they have a wide choice: some are obviously horrid by inspection (far too much robusta) but there are enough that are prima facie OK, and at keen prices, to give me scope for a few months experimentation.
The one I chose, "en dépannage", arrived within a couple of days (straight from Italy, which is encouraging). If any of them are any good, I don't suppose that I'll ever buy coffee here again. I wonder how many similar stories are playing out as I type, in smaller though mostly larger ways. I'd love to see what Amazon Fr have been saying to their head office over the last few weeks: it must be like shooting fish in a barrel.
I can't withhold a measure of sympathy with the Gilets Jaunes. But it doesn't help their cause that they seem to be as thick as mince.


The new Clark Log Jack....the fast, efficient way to cross cut timber.
Whether you are chainsawing logs into firewood or cross cutting trees into length, the newly designed Clark Log Jack offers a fast and efficient way to safely chainsaw logs.
Clark first manufactured the Log Jack back in the 1950s and have given it a revamp for 2010 using the most modern manufacturing techniques and materials.
The Log Jack takes a different approach to the traditional chainsaw saw horse where the log needs to be lifted up off the ground into the cutting position. With the Log Jack, there is no need to physically lift the log off the ground, as the log is firmly gripped on the ground between the jaws and the specially hardened hook. The log is then rolled over into the cutting position and is held firmly in position with the Log Jack providing a steady platform for chainsawing. The damage to the bar and chain is also minimised because the log is kept up off the ground.
An extremely useful tool for anyone involved in the chainsawing of logs. Whether a home user cutting firewood or a professional with high volumes and longer lengths of wood to tackle, the Log Jack is an essential piece of kit. (Would make a very useful Christmas pressie too!).


Mostly perennial herbs, subshrubs or shrubs, seldom annual or biennial herbs. Leaves simple, alternate, those of basal rosettes usually dissimilar to cauline leaves, those of peduncle often bract-like, mostly dentate. Heads heterogamous, solitary and terminal or variously corymbosely or paniculately arranged, radiate, rarely discoid. Involucral bracts in 2-6 imbricate, usually graduated series, margins herbaceous. Receptacle naked, often flat or convex, pitted or alveolate. Ray florets pistillate and fertile, in 1 (-2) series, ligules white, pink, blue or purple. Disc florets mostly yellow, all bisexual and fertile, corolla regular, narrowly tubular or funnelform, limb sometimes abruptly dilated at throat, 5-lobed. Anthers obtuse or subauriculate at base, with narrow scarious terminal appendages. Style of ray florets filiform, style of disc florets with flattened branches and linear-lanceolate, acute or acuminate appendages longer than stigmatic area. Achenes oblong-obovoid, mostly somewhat compressed, usually pubescent. Pappus usually in 1 row, similar in ray and disc florets, sometimes very short or absent, or only absent in ray florets, rarely in 2 rows with an outer row of shorter scale-like bristles.
A large, complex genus of more than 600 species, cosmopolitan in distribution. In Taiwan, about 16 species, one of which is represented by two varieties.

Accounting for 85% of music sales, Japan is completely obsessed with CDs
By Himanshu Arora	 on September 23, 2014, 7:45
Japan may be an early adopter of new technology, but the situation is completely opposite when it comes to music. While CD sales have been heading south elsewhere in the world, in Japan the physical media still reigns supreme, accounting for as much as 85 percent of music sales.
Music retailer Tower Records, which filed for bankruptcy and went out of business in the US in 2006, still exists in Japan, with around 85 stores, all bringing in a combined $500 million in sales a year. In fact, digital music sales have been going down in the Land of Rising Sun; while the figure stood at $1 billion five years ago, it came down to $400 million last year.
So, why is this happening? One of the main reasons is the "protectionist business climate" within the Japanese music industry, which still sees the digital business with suspicion.
It's difficult to make licensing deals in Japan, which is the world's second-largest music market. Take for example Spotify, the biggest of the music-streaming companies, with over 10 million customers in 57 markets worldwide, has no presence in Japan yet. In fact, Sony's Music Unlimited, which is the country's top online service, lacks many of the top hits.
Another driving reason is that people in Japan love to collect things. To give you an idea of their love for collectible goods, when stores or artists run promotions that include event tickets or special artwork, the Japanese do not hesitate to buy more than one copy of the same album, helping spur sales.
Despite its robust CD market, Japan's overall music sales have been receding for a decade now, witnessing a drop of 17 percent as recent as last year. Although CDs still account for 41% of recorded music sales worldwide, analysts believe that decline in CD sales is inevitable, and worry that if big markets like Japan and Germany (another country that relies on CD sales), do not embrace online music, it will further damage the music industry.
"If Japan sneezes and Germany catches a cold, that's it — we're done," said Alice Enders, a media analyst with Enders Analysis in London.

Introduction: This car network that rises with the advancement of technology refers to: the interior of the car and the interior network of the car and the car; the car and the car are interconnected to form a car like the LAN of the vehicle. Finally, the first two are connected to the Internet to realize data exchange between people, vehicles and roads, intelligent interaction and deployment of vehicle networking.
Since October 28, 2010, Baidu search "Car Networking" was first used as a keyword search. During the Guangzhou Asian Games from November 12 to 27, 2010, more than 80 units were installed. The Suzhou Jinlong Smart Bus of G-BOS equipment was put into service, and the vehicle networking technology officially entered the social field of vision.
This car network that rises with the advancement of technology refers to: the interior of the car and the interior network of the car and the car; the car and the car are interconnected to form a car similar to the vehicle LAN. In the end, the former two are connected to the Internet to realize data exchange between people, vehicles and roads, intelligent interaction and deployment of vehicle networking.
But the development process of the Internet of Vehicles is not as simple as it was at the beginning. The rise of the concept has brought enough attention to the Internet of Vehicles, which has raised the threshold of the users, but it has followed for several years. There is no cross-stage breakthrough, which has caused many users and practitioners to gradually lose their original enthusiasm.
But in recent years, the Internet-connected operators led by joint ventures have risen sharply. Shanghai GM, FAW-Volkswagen, and Dongfeng Citroen logo have set off a new upsurge in the development of the Internet of Vehicles. The car network has taken the next step to the right place.
, which is ready to go under the wilting era, has statistics. China's car sales increased from 5.76 million in 2005 to around 30 million in 2018. The annual growth rate of automobile sales during the period was as high as 386%. The annual sales volume of the Chinese automobile market has been the first in the world for 8 consecutive years, and the sales volume accounts for 30% of the global total.
However, after experiencing the rapid growth phase of the industrial cycle junior high school period, China's auto market growth rate is slowing down. In 2016, car sales increased by 14%, and car sales in 2017 only increased by 3%. And in the first 11 months of 2018, it even fell by 2%. The car buyers are close to saturation, consumers are not buying enough new cars or the power to change cars twice, so the car market needs newThe point of stimulation growth.
In this case, the Internet of Vehicles that had been immersed for several years was once again taken seriously. In the past year, Wang Yongqing, general manager of SAIC General Motors, the pioneer of the Internet of Vehicles, also said in an interview: "The Internet of Vehicles will be Traveling will bring about subversive changes, and it will serve as the 'second engine' of the car, providing a new driving force for future transportation life." What are the advantages of car networking in the current development of automobiles?
First of all, with the outbreak of IoT, the Internet of Everything became the most recognized mode of social development, and the Internet of Vehicles has become the new darling of the automotive industry today, and the Internet of Vehicles itself is part of the IoT, and the future of social development. The direction is the same, and there is enough correctness on the big background.
Secondly, in terms of the commercialization potential of the Internet, there are Apple CarPaly and Google Android AUTO in foreign countries; in China, there are also Baidu Carlife, Aliyun OS, Tencent Lubao, and many giants around the world have laid out. The business potential is huge. In addition, it is a stage in which the auto market is in urgent need of seeking a breakthrough. It is the stage of a long drought.
Among them, the joint venture has an advantage over a single Internet giant or a self-owned brand.
Paul Romer, one of the 2018 Nobel laureates in economics, put forward a theory: "Most of the technological advances stem from the conscious investment behavior caused by market incentives, that is, technology is endogenous. "Luo defaults to a specific technological breakthrough may be random, but the overall increase in technology is directly proportional to the resources of the society.
Car networking is essentially a technology-led service function. For its development, the key point is whether it can be broken through technology. Faced with the trend of large-scale capital entry, joint ventures have a first-mover advantage over Internet companies, and they are more competitive in technological innovation than their own brands.
So from the timing, the development of the Internet of Vehicles is the trend of the times, and it will be the new engine of automobile growth. Under the wave of big capital, the blessing of the joint venture in the original technology will be re-injected with the capital. In-depth, it is easier to have new breakthroughs. And this technological breakthrough will become a new endorsement of investment, so as to form a positive cycle of rising, more advantages.
Alan Kay, an American computer scientist and Turing Award winner, once said, "People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware." Means that people who really care about software should make their own hardware. This sentence was later used by Jobs to express Apple's product development philosophy.
But after all, the mobile phone is a relatively low-value intelligent hardware, the cost of all in is lower, and the car price and R&D cost far exceed the mobile phone, not only the initial investment, but also the long production cycle. It is difficult to obtain the results on the product in a short time. This is contrary to the positive proportional relationship between capital investment and output value in Internet commerce.
For a complete automotive industry chain cycle, from the upstream source material collection, technology development; to the midstream accessories manufacturing assembly; to the downstream product sales, this entire industrial structure is not a short time The internal energy can be piled up, and this is also a lot of companies that say that they build their own cars. In the end, 80% are borrowed and choose to cooperate with other original car manufacturers.
And for the car network smart car, it is also necessary to consider the cost and price issues, whether it is within the popular purchasing power, and whether it is in line with the public aesthetics in terms of comfort and practicality, these are the Internet. The cost limit that a company may have in a hurry.
And many Internet companies still have inherent disadvantages in technology. In Baidu, Baidu should be a company with deep understanding of the Internet of Vehicles in the Internet. After all, the AI is sold in the AI, and the Baidu is self-driving. It should be regarded as the frontier of domestic automatic driving. But even Baidu has not had a voice product that can be used by everyone. It is a serious shortcoming in this respect, and the most direct interaction method of driverless is voice, which means that Baidu is still in short supply.
In terms of advances in vehicle networking technology, as early as 1997, the OnStar system was already equipped with all of Cadillac's predecessors in North America. On October 28, 2009, Onstar, Shanghai Automotive Industry Sales Co., Ltd. and Shanghai General Motors jointly established Shanghai Anjixing Information Service Co., Ltd. In 2011, General Motors exhibited at CES2011The Onstar system developed by its model can now meet the installation requirements of 99% of the family cars on the market.
Today, the OnStar system has become the standard for most models of GM's brands in North America. OnStar's services are primarily limited to the US and Canada, serving more than 6 million users. In the near future, it is also cooperating with the American brand Buick. Based on SAIC's superior resources and technology, it launched eConnect, which is centered on the "cloud" and has high user perception and high frequency of use.
Therefore, for the development process of the Internet of Vehicles, many Internet companies in the case of inherent disadvantages, it is better to build a car than to be rooted in services, and the traffic and technology of Internet companies should be more The attitude of the service side is dominated by the original practitioners in the automotive industry. Choosing the right smart car manufacturer is a better choice from the point of view.
Therefore, the joint venture can take advantage of the future competition of the Internet of Vehicles, not only has its own excellent technology and supply chain cycle, but also has the huge data brought by the further use of Internet information technology. The integration with technology has also become the premise of the construction of the Internet of Things.
The essence of the Internet of Vehicles industry is the service industry, through the statistical analysis of the entire field of the car, and then to re-service these complex car scenes. Through the empowerment of big data, we will change many of the shortcomings of the traditional automotive industry and provide new experiences in various scenarios.
When the user drives, he gives an order to the vehicle, for example, wants to eat Sichuan food, and then the car network cloud system will intelligently screen out several The hotel, and the development of the appropriate route planning, the time required, after the user is determined to achieve a reservation order, this is the effect that the Internet of Vehicles should achieve.
A little understanding is that the US group and the Didi are integrated, and the car is automatically picked up and delivered at the time of ordering. In other words, the final form of the Internet of Vehicles is no longer limited to the car itself, but to become an intelligent student of the entire Internet of Things.Part of the live. In the development of this stage, the more competitive is the original Internet service enterprise, the information docking between the two sides is the prerequisite for realizing the ecology of the big object.
To achieve this scenario, the actual operation is not simple.
* First of all, it needs to establish a collection and feedback system for real-time user information data. The scene is surrounded by users. In the Internet era, the needs of users are changing rapidly, which is forced by the upper-end service providers. Timely adjust the supply and output according to the different needs of users.
* Secondly, it is necessary to build a user network. In the context of the explosion of personal information today, the path between information and input is increasingly blurred, and everyone becomes the recipient and disseminator of information. However, from the in-vehicle network to the inevitable stage of the inter-vehicle network, all the attributes in each car must be set as an independent user unit.
* Finally, we need a proper marketing and promotion strategy. Nowadays, it is not the era when the wine is not afraid of alleys. If you want to be accepted by users, not only must the products be excellent, but also use various marketing techniques to seize the market. User market. At the same time, in the promotion of different functions for complex multi-scene, the car network can be grafted from a single car attribute to the bridge of the big object.
These links are the best things for Internet companies. They are a unique manifestation of heavy traffic in the Internet business and decentralized user thinking. Therefore, in the future development of the Internet of Vehicles, there are some aspects for the creation of user preferences. Internet business thinking has more advantages.
So for the future development trend of the entire Internet of Vehicles, it is the joint venture that occupies the right place at the same time. On the one hand, it has the grounding atmosphere of local enterprises, and there are standards for foreign companies to meet high quality requirements; On the one hand, it has the technology and supply chain of the traditional automobile manufacturing brand, and also has the user thinking and data support of the Internet enterprise. Only in this multi-dimensional superposition advantage can it become the backbone of the development of the Internet of Vehicles.
The connection itself is a huge force. The arrival of the mobile Internet era is connected with people, and the development of IoT has once again painted a picture of the future. As the leader of IoT, the development of the Internet of Vehicles is bound to be an important step. The connection between the car and the car, the ecology of the car and the big object will also become the "second engine" for the development of the automotive industry.

Do most projects really fail?
I know, I'm starting with a bold assertion that is probably not in sync with the positive write-ups you see all around you, as you resolve to adopt a few healthy resolutions at the beginning of the New Year. But, the fact is that most new projects either fail to meet the original objectives laid out for them, or at best, see only a partial degree of success, especially in the Services context. These "projects" may take a variety of shape and form – re-designing your online presence, creating an automated sales-tool for your field force, or designing a communication plan to engage with your customers through their lifecycle – though, they share common challenges.
When an organisation first heads down the path of a new initiative – a project – it has little experience to bank on. Yes, it knows its own business, understands the industry in which it operates, and often has the advantage of trained resources which it can deploy. But, the project itself is a "new" initiative. And, as such, the team has to contend with the discovery and management of a plethora of issues and obstacles which it will encounter along the way, fixing them one by one as it proceeds towards the finish line. This includes known unknowns, as well as unknown unknowns.
An obvious but surprising fact to contend with is that new projects may be new to the team working on it, but are not "new" to the world at large. Of course, "moonshot" projects like the ones undertaken by SpaceX are the exception that proves the rule. In most organisations, the Project Team will often try and "figure out" a lot of the stuff along the way, including basics of Project Management, User Experience, Customer Engagement and Communication Design. Each of these sub-specialities is an art and a science, and its mastery requires experience and training. Naturally, the Project Team's first brush with these disciplines will not always include the best way to go about it. In essence, many new projects have a dimension of "reinventing the wheel" that is completely avoidable and provides a significant obstacle to success.
The world is probably divided into those who value specialisation (the majority) and those who value the merits of taking an integrative, holistic approach that transcends domains (the minority). Even if we don't agree on which side we align with, in most organisations, projects are (rightfully) undertaken by a cross-functional team that includes representation from various functions like Sales, Operations, Marketing and Business Strategy. This necessarily means that the project should benefit tremendously by an integrative, multi-disciplinary approach. But, most organisations hire specialists for specific roles, and then map them to respective departments that work in silos for the most part of the year. Therefore, structurally, most organisations are ill-equipped to address the unique requirements of a cross-functional project, and the project suffers as a result.
It goes without saying that much of the above can only be done if the organisation provides the right culture and context in which its employees can grow and thrive. If you don't have such a culture, start building it today. After all, your success will depend on it!
Many organisations – and organisational leaders – like to talk about how they are focused on Customer Service, while merely paying lip-service to the customer's real needs. The sad fact is that, as customers, we increasingly come across organisations and service levels that are simply deficient in their delivery. And, in today's age of Social Media, we waste no time in airing our opinions to any one who will listen – taking to our Twitter or Facebook accounts to warn friends and strangers of the particular brand/product/service.
Example 1: I ordered some poster prints from a printing service I've used on many occasions – PrintVenue.com. The prints came a few days later, but I was disappointed to see that each one was printed with errors, with their margins cut off despite being intact in the files that were uploaded. Multiple emails and tweets happened in the 8 days that followed, asking me to send snapshots and wait upto 48 hours for a response after each email, including escalating the matter to a specific id in the organisation (thanks to my tweets!). I was clear in my communications with them from the start that this was a time-critical activity for me and, since I now have to choose another printing service, I would like a refund. But, at the end of more than 8 days of to and fro, I received an email response stating that at most they will be able to re print any one of the posters. No refund was possible. I had no choice but to reply to them saying they just lost a customer for life.
Example 2: I wanted to order some chicken biryanis from a new app/outlet in my area called Charcoal Biryani. At that particular time, their app wasn't loading up, so I headed on to Swiggy (the food delivery app) to see if the same outlet was available there. It was, so I ordered two biryanis for the kids at home. The delivery was prompt, but we found that each pack had only one small piece of chicken in it, which was not acceptable given the price and the description. Since I always believe in feedback, I called the outlet to inform them of the incident, and was pleasantly surprised to hear that someone would get in touch with me soon to resolve the matter. Someone did call in an hour and offered to send replacements, thanking me for the feedback. I said that we were done with dinner, and would probably use their services at another time, but it would be good to get a refund for this deficiency of product. Again, to my surprise, they agreed to process the same. OK, it took some days and some messages to figure out that Charcoal will only be able to refund my Swiggy account (since my order was placed via Swiggy), after which the Swiggy team will credit it to my Swiggy wallet. If I had known what the process would entail, I would have happily taken up the offer of Charcoal sending me replacements. However, as a customer, I was happy to see that the food outlet valued my experience as a customer, instead of choosing to make numerous excuses or hide behind unfriendly processes.
In both cases, the amounts are not going to make a dent to these organisations. Nor would they add significantly to my monthly income or spends. But, it's the principle of the matter.
Let's see it from a different lens. I was speaking with a freelance professional who works in Shipping Logistics, and he was complaining about how his industry is cut-throat in pricing, and the service he offers is practically a commodity. How, then, can he improve his revenues without adding manpower and growing the amount of volume he currently handles?
I spoke with him about understanding his customers' pain points and addressing them in any way he could. When shipping large volumes that cross the world's oceans, what is lacking is information at every milestone for the customer in question. Can he not introduce a simple SMS system to inform his customers of the shipment's progress at each key milestone? He replied that in his industry that would in fact constitute a "superior" service standard, as compared to his peers who don't even do that much. If he did that consistently, continuing to add value to his customers in numerous ways, there is no doubt in my mind that he would become the preferred service provider one day.
The solution is not always complex, nor one that would require significant resources. All that is needed is the right mindset.
Do we really care about the customer? Are we – at each level – empowered to take decisions that affect our customers positively or negatively? And if we are, do we keep the larger context in mind or choose the penny-wise-pound-foolish option? As Jan Carlzon wrote in 'Moments of Truth', a brand (or product or service) is experienced by your customer across millions of "moments of truth" – each can make or break the organisation. Isn't it time we paid heed and did the right thing?

Summit Stories: Matthias Wurzer and Großglockner Mountain
Updated on 28.06.2017 in People
If you climb the same mountain more than 300 times, there are very little chances to experience something new, see something different, aren't there? Well, 32-year old mountain guide Matthias Wurzer succeeded in doing so. How? He told me on our joint tour of Großglockner, the mountain in his backyard and Austria's tallest peak.
A young man sits atop the summit of 3,798-meter Großglockner Mountain and enjoys the views. He is wearing a headband with skulls, mirrored sunglasses and has his long hair tied back. Yet, despite his appearance, this man is not a rock star. He is a mountain guide. Matthias Wurzer. My eyes try to follow his line of vision. Somewhere over there are the Three Peaks, three distinctive battlement-like peaks in Italy's South Tyrol. I find it hard to make out the peaks in the distance. And that's exactly what makes the difference between this renowned rock formation and Großglockner, says Matthias: "If you scan the horizon standing atop the Three Peaks, it's really easy to identify the summit of Großglockner. It simply is there, striking and prominent." This iconic peak has been the office of Matthias Wurzer for more than ten years. However, his incredible relationship with Großglockner Mountain didn't just start a decade ago. He has known this mountain all his life.
On our way to Großglockner, the office of Matthias Wurzer.
"They didn't take me seriously."
Matthias grew up on Spöttlinghof, a farm at the end of Kalser Tal Valley. Later, his parents moved to Kals, located on foot of Großglockner. Today, he and his girlfriend live in Lienz, the capital of East Tirol. He never wanted to become a farmer. Still, he attended an agricultural college and completed a metalworker education. What was his passion even then, at a very young age, was climbing. "Toni Riedler often took me along. He completed his mountain guide education when I was 15 or 16. And I said to myself: now that would be something." Thus, he pursued the same career and received his mountain guide certification at the age of 22.
So you are supposed to be a mountain guide? Are you serious? – That's what Matthias was used to hear at the beginning of his Großglockner guiding career: "They didn't take me seriously as I apparently looked ways younger than I actually was." First impressions were tough with his clients who expected a mature and experienced guide. Today, in his early 30s, he doesn't have to work harder for respect at work anymore.
We are standing on the summit, looking down to Stüdl Hut. It is amazing how it looks like a toy from above… after all, Stüdl Hut sleeps more than 100 mountaineers. This is where I met Matthias for the first time yesterday evening. Stüdl Hut is one of the most important bases for mountaineers planning to ascend Austria's tallest mountain. The hut is named after Johann Stüdl, a wealthy merchant from the Czech Republic who found a second home in Kals in the 19th century. A lifelong love for the area led Johann Stüdl to erect a shelter on Fanotscharte Notch in 1868, thus providing the infrastructure to attain Großglockner Mountain from Kals. The hut that bears his name was opened on September 15, 1868. One year later, he was the driving force behind the foundation of the Kals Mountain Guide Association, the first of its kind in the Eastern Alps. Stüdl Hut was extended and refurbished various times over the decades. In the 1990s, the Alpinist Association had the hut reconstructed in futuristic design, including solar panels and a heating system run on vegetable oil, while the old building was dismantled.
View back to Stüdl Hut.
Lousy Weather and the 'South Face Guard'
We descend into a notch that separates—or connects—the two summits of Großglockner and Kleinglockner. It depends which angle you look at it from. We meet crowds of people on their way to attain the summit of this formidable peak. Obviously, Großglockner is not the place to go for solitude, and today the weather is just perfect. Deep blue skies and T-shirts at an elevation of 3,700 meters above sea level. A gentle breeze cools our heads. Completely contrary to the weather on April 5th, 2016. That day, Matthias and his fellow mountain guide Vittorio Messini wrote a new chapter in the mountaineering history of Großglockner.
The weather was lousy, as Matthias puts it. Equipped with ice axes and crampons, Wurzer and Messini dared to cross a striking gully on the south flank of Glockner. This cragged and jagged gully stretches upwards between Stüdlgrat Ridge and the Southern Ridge of Glockner and had never been completely climbed before – which is kind of unbelievable on a mountain whose magnetism pulls several thousand hikers each year to attempt the summit. The two climbers opted for a bad weather day to reduce the danger of dislodging rock in the south-facing gully. They were greeted with north face conditions in a south face and hard technical challenges and "mixed scrambling", with treacherous ice-covered and rocky sections. They succeeded to attain the Glocknerscharte Notch and finally made it up to the summit. Matthias remembers this moment: "This feeling when you leave the gully, knowing you became the first person to scale it… that's pretty cool!" Vittorio and Matthias named their great feat "Südwandwächter", literally 'south face guard'. To explore an unknown side, an unknown face of Austria's tallest mountain was the thriving force behind their task. This is worth more than fame, honour and glory, says Matthias.
Matthias on the descent into Glocknerscharte Notch.
The standard route follows a ridge to the summit of Kleinglockner (literally 'Small Glockner'; pictured in the middle), down into a notch and then finally pushes beyond cloud level toward the summit of Großglockner, literally 'Tall Glockner'.
The Thin Line between Luck & Misfortune
We climb from the notch to the top of Kleinglockner and descend into Eisleitl, a very steep snowfield. The view of Pasterze, Austria's biggest glacier gets my attention. However, I need to turn my focus from the scenery to my feet as we cross the snowfield—a fall here could easily be fatal. "It's a thin line between luck and misfortune on the mountain," is what Matthias told me yesterday night. This was the guiding principle of his uncle, who was a mountain guide, too. I try to figure out what it would be like in a snowstorm up here. As when Matthias went on a search and rescue mission for three Polish climbers here in October 2010. "We were up here for four days, searching for them." He and his fellow mountain guides crawled up the mountain using hands and feet, "we wanted to find them alive." Sadly, without success. "I found a dead body," says Matthias. Orographic lifting over the southern end of the mountain was their doom. "If only they would have called for help five hours earlier, the helicopter had rescued them and no one would have died."
A fall here on Eisleitl Snowfield could easily be fatal.
The slope levels out a bit and we stop moving roped-up and take off our crampons. From here, it's a leisurely stroll, I say to myself—at least until we get to Adlersruhe (literally 'Eagle's Rest'), where Erzherzog-Johann-Hut sits at an elevation of 3,454 meters, making it Austria's highest-lying shelter. Suddenly I slip, and I start to fall. I lose my grip on the crampons and they fall into the snow. And so do I. I breathe deeply. Everything is OK, fortunately. We take a rest on Erzherzog-Johann-Hut before descending to Stüdl Hut.
Matthias' first conquest of Großglockner didn't take him along Adlersruhe but via Stüdlgrat Ridge, together with Riedler Toni, as he remembers. "That ascent really left me exhausted. Well, the route entails 1,900 meters of climbing from the valley to the top." Matthias was twelve years old then. Still today, Stüdlgrat is his preferred route, in summer as well as in winter: "We strapped the skis to our back and climbed up the ridge, which was all blanketed in snow – that was an incredible experience," tells Matthias.
Arrival at Erzherzog-Johann-Hut.
"You are never really up there."
We have to move on. We still have to get down to Stüdl Hut, crossing Ködnitzkees, the glacier on the southern side of Großglockner. As everywhere else in the Alps, the glacier has recessed during the last decades. "What I have witnessed during the last 19 years is dramatic," says Matthias upon looking down on the glacier. The summer sun has thawed the ice crust in places. On warm days such as today, rock fall is a real risk along the standard route. That's why Matthias opts for the alternative route along Mürztalersteig Trail.
Descent along Mürztalersteig Trail.
I follow him to a kind of trail's end, with nothing but boulders and rocks waiting to be conquered, twenty meters above the glacier. Actually, there is no way to carry on from here but abseiling. How practical that Matthias has installed cable ladders and ropes into the rocky flank together with fellow mountain guides. Which we use right now, descending to the glacier. Down in the valley, something sparkles in the sunlight. Maybe it is the roof of Lucknerhaus Lodge? The journey from the lodge up to the summit of Großglockner is like a journey from Europe to Greenland. "Wildlife, plant life, and types of rock change with every vertical meter up here," says Matthias.
Matthias has installed cable ladders and ropes into the rock.
The summer sun has thawed the ice crust of Ködnitzkees Glacier in places.
We cross the glacier on our way back to Stüdl Hut. We have really attained it, the summit of Großglockner. Or rather: I did it! Is mountain climbing really the height of empty egotism, I ask myself (and Matthias)? Is the only plausible reason any climber is able to articulate: "So I can say that I did it." "Well, somehow yes," says Matthias, "because otherwise you wouldn't be able to do all these things. If you ask yourself why you are there you have to admit: You are never really up there."

Man's best friend
The Hut by the Glacier
Far from civilisation, the highest huts in the Alps have always exerted a special fascination. These mountaineering basecamps are a gateway to an otherwise inaccessible world of sheer rockfaces and eternal ice. Among the most eye-catching and awe-inspiring high-mountain huts in the Austrian Alps is the Brandenburger Haus. Perched at 3,277 metres above sea level, it can be reached on foot in six to eight hours either from the Kaunertal Valley or the Ötztal Valley.
Free to Ski
Ski bums are to winter what hippies are to summer – freedom-loving youngsters who work at night to ski all day. However, the ski bum has become an endangered species in recent years, even in traditional hotbeds like St. Anton. We set out to learn what it takes to be a ski bum and whether this happy-go-lucky way of life can survive in the 21st century.

Way of the Wood – Tirol's Last Master Sawyer
Wood is a key element of Tirol's landscape and lifestyle. While the valley is dominated by large industrial sawmills, the mountains are still home to a few smallscale businesses which have been around for decades, if not centuries. We travelled to the Alpbachtal Valley to meet one of Tirol's last remaining master sawyers.

Life at the end of the valley
Tirol is home to more than a dozen remote end-of-valley communities. These small villages hidden away deep in the mountains have retained their original character. What is life like there? We met seven people who live at the end of a valley road (and none of them wanted to swap for a life in the city).
The Lives of Locals
For many visitors to Tirol, contact with the locals is limited to the ski lifts, hotels and supermarket checkouts. But what are Tiroleans really like? We headed away from the pistes and bars to find out more about the lives of locals.

There are just four fundamental and easy activities to growing grass crops, and in case you keep focused on satisfying the four steps you should really be OK. A whole lot of bud users will stop by a trader to get marijuana because it isn't feasible for them to get it in to a store at the place where they live. While growing marijuana isn't necessarily simple, it goes give patients a second option to consider.
Each bud strain consists of distinct cannabinoids with varying potencies. Some accredited medical marijuana dispensaries might be selling excellent top quality marijuana seeds also. Among alcohol and smoking, marijuana is readily among the most common recreational drugs in the world these days.
Even the DuquenoisLevine test is usually utilized as a screening test within the region, but it can't adequately confirm the existence of cannabis, being an extensive variety of substances are demonstrated to offer false positives. Medical bud growing cinderella 99 marijuana might be sold in smokable form, but the exact restrictions on public using tobacco is going to be implemented to marijuana. Fentanyl, a relatively inexpensive opioid that's much stronger than heroin, may be trimmed with different opioids into increasepotency.
Sorry to say, the labs are privately and will probably stay like that. Even the vast variety of tasty and healthy marijuana-infused food ensures you'll discover the very best one for your particular tastes and preferences. Marijuana has specific effects which may decrease an individual's capacity to do tasks requiring a excellent deal of coordination, like driving a motor vehicle.
Some could unintentionally get into drug abuse because of early exposure to drugs by relatives, friends, etc.. In the event you or some one you know, has an addiction. It might also be less difficult to contact marijuana in the event there are lots of friends sharing the endeavor.
Legalization isn't a cure all. Marijuana is amongst the most popular substances throughout pregnancy in america.
It's likely to also go throughout the healthcare marijuana journal to secure more idea on the exact same. In spite of common belief marijuana has just disclosed both psychologicallyand physicallyaddictive. Sometimes, Cocaine use may result in death by cardiac arrest.
There are other issues in investigating the consequences of cannabis. Therefore, people can consume more to have that the effects faster, resulting in dangerous outcomes. At the time of 2015, there isn't any consensus regarding whether cannabis smoking is closely correlated with a increased possibility of cancer.
If you should be using bud but do not really feel ready to find help, it's important to attempt to lower the harm the medication might do. Around 9 percent of women and men using bud eventually become predicated on the drug. Patients utilizing medicinal marijuana may nonetheless be arrested.
If you have questions regarding your health care state and medical bud please consult with your doctor. It is crucial to know the long-term and short ramifications of alcohol and drugs misuse on human body in order to prevent them. When you choose to make use of clinical cannabis to relieve your arthritis symptoms, then you always have to look for advice from your physician.
Pot is tested to the causes of cause, as opposed to arbitrary management. Fentanyl-laced marijuana usage is an actual and growing issue in the usa. Policy towards marijuana started to involve considerations of treatment along with criminal penalties.
So regarding shed weight, facing the origin psychological problem is a must. Some individuals also crave bud for a answer to stress. If a person is driving a auto smoking and inducing a public security hazard they must be prosecuted, for the reason they're jeopardizing people's own lives, he explained.


Early to mid-June is the greenest and lushest time in our experimental and ever-changing Green Roof Garden, one of the few rooftop landscapes in the area that invites the public in for a visit.
Native plants create a prairie-like effect atop the Plant Science Center.
Now in its fourth growing season, the 16,000-square-foot garden creates an oasis atop the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Plant Conservation Science Center. The green expanse helps reduce rainwater runoff and insulate the building from heat and cold. The garden also serves as living laboratory under the stewardship of Richard Hawke, plant evaluation manager.
The skyblue aster (Symphyotrichum oolentangiense) is "finally established and starting to do its own thing," he said, and flowering for the first time are the dwarf false indigo (Amorpha nana) and largeleaf wild indigo (Baptisia alba var. alba). The latter takes its time in a landscape, first putting down a taproot—hard to do in eight inches of growing medium! Once established, it sends up a tall spike of showy, white flowers that bloom for several weeks. Like other members of the bean or legume family, wild indigo improves the soil by increasing its nitrogen levels.
The deep coral native columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) is beginning to spread, blending into the lavender and white blooms of the hairy beardtongue (Penstemon hirsutus) and foxglove beardtongue (Penstemon digitalis) growing nearby. Bright yellow lanceleaf coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata) and the silvery, feathery foliage of field sagewort (Artemisia campestris ssp. Caudate) add to the prairie aesthetic with their layered colors and textures.
The more formally planted Josephine P. & John J. Louis Foundation Green Roof Garden North features wavy patches of sedums, a popular rooftop variety, alternating with familiar cultivars of plants. Flowering bulbs bring the garden into color in early spring. Mourning doves, robins, swallows, mallards, Baltimore orioles, and purple finches count among its bird visitors.
What a beautiful description of the Green Roof Garden. It makes one greatly appreciate the efforts of Richard Hawke for his stewardship, the Botanical Garden for its sponsorship and the writer for creating such a vivid image of this experimental wonder. We wish we could be among its visitors, along with the orioles and finches.


" 'Green News Report' - July 3, 2018	"
IN TODAY'S RADIO REPORT: Whistleblower says EPA chief Scott Pruitt kept secret calendar to hide industry meetings; Minnesota regulators approve controversial new tar sands pipeline; Record overnight heat temperatures in Oman, drought-fueled riots in Iran; PLUS: Rhode Island becomes first U.S. state to sue fossil fuel companies for knowingly contributing to climate change... All that and more in today's Green News Report!
"We would have meetings what we were going to take off on the official schedule. We had at one point three different schedules. One of them was one that no one else saw except three or four of us," Chmielewski told CNN. "It was a secret ... and they would decide what to nix from the public calendar."
[T]he previous high-minimum temperature record for any 24-hour period was 41.9°C (107.4°F), set at nearby Khassab Airport in Oman on June 27, 2011....With sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Oman at 32°C (90°F), about 1°C (1.8°F) above average for this time of year, these waters were warm enough to allow the city to set the new all-time high minimum temperature record.
Over a period of 24 hours, the temperature in the coastal city of Quriyat, Oman, never dropped below 108.7 degrees (42.6 Celsius) Tuesday, most likely the highest minimum temperature ever observed on Earth...For example, in nearly 150 years of weather records, Washington, D.C.'s high temperature has never exceeded 106 degrees.
[R]esidents of the predominantly Arab city near the border with Iraq complain of salty, muddy water coming out of their taps amid a yearslong drought..."Although Iran has a history of drought, over the last decade, Iran has experienced its most prolonged, extensive and severe drought in over 30 years," said a recent report by the Food and Agriculture Organization, a United Nations agency. Some 230 people were poisoned in Khuzestan province after a 20-hour water outage in Ramhormoz county led to drinking water not being chlorinated, the semi-official Fars news agency reported Sunday. The protests did not appear to be linked to the poisoning.
The unrest erupted after some 500 people, mostly youth, gathered at a main square in the city to protest against pollution that is seeping into the city's drinking water network, IRNA reported.
The "certificate of need" granted Thursday by the state's Public Utility Commission greenlights a replacement for Enbridge's Line 3, a 1,000-mile pipeline that runs from Hardistry, Alberta, to Superior, Wisconsin. The new Line 3 will have an initial capacity about twice that of the current pipeline, and that volume could be increased and also allow for other increases elsewhere in Enbridge's cross-border pipeline network.
"What I will tell you is we are not backing down... We have been here for 10,000 years. We're the home team, and we're not going anywhere."
The offer announced by the U.S. Forest Service allows Nestle Waters North America, the biggest bottled-water company in the nation, to keep piping water from the Strawberry Creek watershed that it's tapped for decades...The company, a division of the Swiss food giant, took about 32 million gallons of water from wells and water collection tunnels in the forest in 2016. It contends that it inherited rights to forest water dating back more than a century.
The Forest Service took up the matter in 2015 after a Desert Sun investigation revealed Nestlé was piping water out of the mountains under a permit that listed 1988 as the expiration date. The revelation that officials had allowed the company to use the permit without a review for 27 years generated an outpouring of opposition and prompted the permit review, as well as a lawsuit by environmental groups and an investigation by California regulators.
Ultimately though, Anderson said her organization wants Nestlé out, and she hopes the settlement could be a first step in a process that leads to shutting down the company's operation. "What we hope for is that they'll deny it," she said.
"Big oil knew for decades that greenhouse gas pollution from their operations and their products were having a significant and detrimental impact on the earth's climate," [state Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin] said. "Instead of working to reduce that harm, these companies chose to conceal the dangers, undermine public support for greenhouse gas regulation and engage in massive campaigns to promote the ever increasing use of their products and ever increasing revenues in their pockets."...The lawsuit [pdf]...names 14 oil and gas companies and some of their affiliates, saying they created conditions that constitute a public nuisance under state law and failed to warn the public and regulators of a risk they were well aware of.

Q: c++ forward declaration of pure virtual class I have a forward deceleration problem. I had a normal class before, called GlobalCWND, it was instantiated and used in another class ProtocolContext.
I forward declare the ProtocolContext class in Requestor.h.
You can see the related part of the code of this 2 classes.
============Protocol Context========
 class Requestor<RequestorStrategy>;
 class Receiver<ReceiverStrategy>;

 class ProtocolContext : public Object
 {
 public:
   ProtocolContext(Ptr<SubscriptionContext> , Ptr<ReceiverStrategy> , Ptr<
       RequestorStrategy> );
.......

 ProtocolContext::ProtocolContext(Ptr<SubscriptionContext> sctx, Ptr<
      ReceiverStrategy> rec, Ptr<RequestorStrategy> req) :
    receiver(rec), requestor(req)
  {
    m_sctx = sctx;
    Ptr<GlobalCWND> m_globalCWND = Create<GlobalCWND> (this);
    cout << "Initializing Protocol Context for rid"
        << m_sctx->GetMetaDataStrategy()->GetRid() << endl;
    m_ph = Create<PacketHandler> (sctx);
  }

=================Requestor.h=========
 class ProtocolContext;

 class RequestorStrategy : public Object
 {

 public:
   RequestorStrategy()
   {
   }
   ;
   ~RequestorStrategy()
   {
   }
   ;
   /* Transitions */
   virtual void
   Trans(Ptr<ProtocolContext> , Ptr<Packet> ) = 0;
 };

.....

It worked properly before. Now I have change the GlobalCWND to a virtual class and In the protocol Context constructor I have this code:
ProtocolContext::ProtocolContext(Ptr<SubscriptionContext> sctx, Ptr<
      ReceiverStrategy> rec, Ptr<RequestorStrategy> req) :
    receiver(rec), requestor(req)
  {
    m_sctx = sctx;
    Ptr<GlobalCWND> m_globalCWND = Create<GlobalCWNDSimple> (this);

..............
}

But now I get this error:
 GlobalCWND.h:21:   instantiated from here
ptr.h:441: error: invalid use of incomplete type 'struct
ProtocolContext'
Requestor.h:16: error: forward declaration
of 'struct ProtocolContext'

the error lines are:
line 21 of GlobalCWND() is    GlobalCWND (){};
and line 16 of Requestor.h is class ProtocolContext;

Ptr class is actually creating pointer to the object, line 441 of ptr.h is the last line of this function:
template <typename T>
Ptr<T>::~Ptr ()
{
 if (m_ptr != 0)
   {
     m_ptr->Unref();
   }
}

The code for GlobalCWND starts like this:
 class ProtocolContext;

  class GlobalCWND : public Object
  {
  public:
    GlobalCWND (){};
    GlobalCWND (Ptr<ProtocolContext>){};
    ~GlobalCWND (){};

    static TypeId GetTypeId(){
      static TypeId tid = TypeId("GlobalCWND")
      .SetParent<Object> ()
      ;
      return tid;
    };

A: The constructor for GlobalCWND takes a Ptr<ProtocolContext> by value, which in its destructor calls a method on the ProtocolContext pointer.
According to the error however, ProtocolContext is incomplete at that point - you need to include the declaration for ProtocolContext.
For a list on what you can and can't do with incomplete types, see this answer.

Q: Pressure drop through a flat vs. pleated filter Consider two identical pipes where two identical air flows take place. The pipes are "obstructed" by two filters made of the same fabric, one flat, the other pleated as shown in the following picture.

Qualitatively
In which pipe will the pressure drop be larger? I see two opposing factors:

*

*The folded filter has more "holes" overall, so its hydrodynamic resistance is lower.

*If you imagine the filter fabric to be made of small channels normal to its surface, air undergoes more shear to cross the pleated filter than to cross the flat one.

Mechanical ventilation systems commonly use pleated filters for fine fabrics: is it only to increase their lifespan (larger area means it takes longer to seal them up), or does it also reduce pressure drop?
Quantitatively
What section should a flat filter have to yield the same pressure drop as a pleated filter? This question boils down to: Are there formulas or charts to compute the pressure drop as a function of dimensions $a$ and $t$?

A: In a first approximation, and if you have a laminar flow in the pipes, the flux will be $Q=\frac{-\kappa A}{\mu} \frac{(p_b - p_a)}{L}$, from Darcy's law, see notations there. So increasing the area $A$ will increase the flux in proportion. Conversely, as you can see from the equation, the pressure drop is inversely proportional to $A$, if you impose flux. You can easily calculate $A$ from $a$ and $t$.

A new author for me so I appreciate your post.
Great post & especially the comment on weather & psyche, not considered this before but makes a lot of sense, in fact it would be interesting to divide writers up along such lines just to see what correlations or differences there were.
I just read 'The Bishop's Man' and that was my first experience with Canadian Literature. I think I would like this one, so thanks for the recommendation.
I think that those of us who live in harsh winter climates (most Canadians) have at some time pondered on the link between climate and our outlook on life as well as our relationships with others.
Sam (Tiny Library)-thanks as always for your comments and visits.
I thought this was a great collection of stories as well. Fine author Munro.
"Munro packs a lot of life into thirty pages..."
That's one of the reasons that I love her stories; they feel as complex and satisfying as some entire novels.
I've been steadily reading/re-reading through her oeuvre this year and I am just about to start Who Do You Think You Are (sometimes titled otherwise); I haven't been disappointed in these, earlier, stories one bit.
I think you'll appreciate The View from Castle Rock, as it will add to your sense of understanding Canada across the years and across the seasons.

Penalties, red zone failures lead to Jefferson loss
By Staff | Sep 27, 2019
Corbin Pierson seeks yardage around the end, during the first quarter of Jefferson's loss to Spring Mills on Friday. David Pennock
SPRING MILLS — A succession of penalties and three failures to score when inside the Spring Mills' 12, were the main culprits in Jefferson's 12-9 loss to the roster-depleted Cardinals as the Cougars remained winless with a 0-4 record.
Dressing only 28 players, the Class AAA Cardinals had people in positions foreign to them when they opened practice this summer.
But those players were stretched to the limit at times, especially when the Cougars moved within range of Spring Mills' end zone. But an unrelenting series of penalties hung to the Cougars like steel weights, and a lost fumble and fourth-down incomplete passes kept the Cougars from scoring with their offense in the second half.
Spring Mills couldn't score at all in the second half, struggling to gain any yardage on the ground and getting meager help from its pass offense. The only points in all of the second half came when Jefferson's Brady Chrisman blocked an early third quarter punt and saw it fly out of the Spring Mills' end zone for a two-point safety that erased some of the Cardinals' 12-7 lead they had claimed at the half.
In the fourth period, just after Jefferson's third failure inside the 12, Chase Henson breathed the final life into Spring Mills and its chances of somehow conjuring up a victory out of what became the unlikely mixture of Henson, barely enough points and the hardiness to blunt Jefferson within sight of its own end zone.
With only a little over three minutes left and Jefferson having used all its timeouts, Henson rushed for a critical first down at his own 23. Then another third-and-three faced the resilient Cardinals. Of course, it was Henson who got the necessary yardage through a thicket of would-be tacklers for another first down.
Two more personal fouls were charged to Jefferson, as the game came to a close
The Cardinals went to 3-1 with their wins over Washington, Hampshire and Jefferson and season-opening loss to Musselman.
Spring Mills managed two short scoring runs by Henson in the first half. Those 12 points were barely enough to build a 12-7 lead, because Jefferson only had a lone score on a Corbin Pierson-to-Spencer Powell pass at the close of a 16-play, 64-yard drive on its first possession of the weather-perfect night.
Points were few.
Spring Mills didn't care. It had a win with its bandaged, bruised and some out-for-the-season players.

The Wi-Fi Passpoint system continues to toil in relative obscurity, with most people unaware that a network of open Wi-Fi hotspots can be easily accessed via your phone or tablet. A Wednesday upgrade will make it even easier to get started.
Passpoint works like the network of cell-phone towers that your phone uses. As you drive down the freeway, for instance, your phone's signal is handed off from one tower to the next. Passpoint works the same way, allowing your mobile device to jump from one hotspot to the next—along San Francisco's Market Street, for example.
Why this matters: Passpoint is essentially a "free" upgrade to Wi-Fi service that you (and your phone) may not even be aware of. As Passpoint rolls out further, you may be able to surf courtesy of a Wi-Fi provider instead of sucking data from your wireless data plan. Passpoint appears to be a win-win for all concerned.
Because the Wi-Fi Alliance largely caters to the wireless companies that make up its membership, the upgrades, as well as Passpoint itself, are generally being positioned as a technology that can improve Wi-Fi uptake as a whole. After all, the only things preventing most smartphone users from using their wireless data connection are congestion and a reluctance to draw from their data plans.
"What makes the new features exciting is that they empower businesses to realize the powerful commercial impact that Wi-Fi can offer by giving them the ability to engage with customers on a new platform in a secure and streamlined fashion," said Edgar Figueroa, the chief executive of the Wi-Fi Alliance, in a statement.
Specifically, the new additions to the Passpoint spec provide for a streamlined and secure registration process. Finally, the Passpoint upgrade allows Wi-Fi operators to pass along their policies through the hotspot network—specifying, for example, which hotspots to connect to first.
While the list of officially certified Passpoint products is long (and confusing), you should see most contemporary smartphones and tablets included there. You may have to dig within your phone's settings to turn Passpoint on, however.


HELLO EVERYBODY! Life was Good here on "The Rock" this week.
1. On Monday, I ate this Fish at a members home and I actually REALLY liked it. I cant remember what it was, but it was a fresh water fish.. and it was VERY yummy.. so to all you fish eaters out there.. I am making progress!!
2. I have officially synced into the "missionary pattern." I know this, because my body and brain just KNOW that before you do anything, you Pray! And the other night, I woke up at 1:00 in the morning, and Sister Kiser and I both just rolled over and started praying for no apparent reason. Then I looked at the clock and was very excited that it was only 1 and not 6:30! haha!
3. Have any of you seen by Big Fat Greek Wedding? and the dad Gus uses Windex for everything? Well, I totally met like a real life Gus.. except its a Woman, and it's with Avon Bubbles!! She literally uses them for EVERYTHING!! She just uses different scents for different purposes! Probably the funniest thing you will ever see. There is a few bottles in every room of her house!!
4. I SAW THE MORGAN YOUNG WOMENS CHOIR!! It was SO fun seeing all of the cute girls from Morgan singing at the Women's Conference. I was just sitting there listening to the pretty music, then all the sudden I saw Kiah Jones, and I am like WHAT!!? and then I saw a lot of you back home! LOVE YOU ALL!!
5.We have been teaching this guy in Pasadena and he is just so awesome. He has been keeping all of our commitments and when we went back this week we had committed him to read some of the Book of Mormon and he told us that he cant read unless he has lots of light so he runs into his bedroom and comes out with this camo hat with a little light inside the rim of the hat and says, " So i used this so that I could do it." It was SO FUNNY!! Then we committed him to read 2 more chapters in the Book of Mormon and he was like," that's not enough, how about I read 4?" We were like Okay!! Then on Sunday he called us and said,"so I read 5 chapters and now I am reading them over again cause I don't think I understood it as much as I want to but what does murmur mean?" haha.. IT WAS SO AWESOME!! I just wanted to cry happiness tears. That my friends is MUSIC to a missionaries ears!! haha!
6. We are also working with this super sweet lady to get her reactivated and to the temple. We have been working with her on prayer because she wouldn't do it due to the fact she felt awkward and she informed us that she has FINALLY STARTED PRAYING AGAIN!! You don't even know how happy that made me. I about started crying right then and there. She is well on her way to the path of the temple.
GENERAL CONFERENCE WAS AMAZING!!! I hope that all of you got the chance to listen to General Conference, and if you didn't, you definitely should get on and listen to it pronto cause it was just SO inspired of God!!
Do more than just believe in Jesus Christ and His mission. Work to learn of Him in the scriptures, come to know Him through prayer, and continually use His power to repent and improve.
Know God's laws and live them. It's the only way to obtain true happiness.
Care for our bodies and our minds by observing principles set forth in the Word of Wisdom.
I also especially LOVED the talk given by David A. Bednar about how we can 'Believe in Christ', but do we 'BELIEVE Christ'. We can know about Christ, but do we KNOW him. So many questions that each of us can and SHOULD ask ourselves daily. I have been studying the Doctrine of Christ so much lately, and have begun to realize how much it goes into EVERYTHING! I challenge you all to read 2 Nephi 31 and look for the specific points of Doctrine of Christ in each verse. It is fun, and you will learn how crucial it is in our salvation. AND go read the talk 'Fourth Floor, Last Door' from the General Womens Session by Dieter F. Uchtdorf.
God "rewards those who earnestly seek him," so we need to keep knocking. Don't give up. Seek God with all your heart.
Its a Bit Brisk Up Here!
