Solving The Skills Mismatch
Industry Insight Deciding to attend post-secondary is a life changing moment. It opens up a vast range of options and provides the opportunity to find a meaningful career.
A complex workforce
But never before have we seen such a complicated workplace. New innovations and technology are transforming the way we do things and creating a demand for more highly skilled people in a myriad of fields.
It's important to do research and make plans for the post-secondary journey. Even in this difficult economy, many employers can't fill available positions because the people seeking work don't have the right qualifications and advanced skills.
The skills and credential divide
The problem is known as the skills mismatch — the divide between the skills and credentials held by people looking for work and the qualifications employers are saying they need.
The Conference Board of Canada recently reported the skills mismatch costs Ontario as much as $24.3 billion a year in lost economic activity. Furthermore, the province is losing $3.7 billion annually in tax revenues.
"There is a growing need for more creative educational pathways, colleges and universities are working more closely than ever before."
Career focused programs
The vast majority of the jobs in the future will require post-secondary education, including apprenticeship training. Growing numbers of people are finding the best route into meaningful work is to pursue career-focused programs.
Ontario's colleges offer 600 programs in everything from advertising, IT, film, and tourism to game development, animation, biotechnology, and much more. This year, applications to first-year, full-time programs at Ontario's public colleges were at their highest level ever.
There has also been a dramatic increase in the number of students who pursue a combination of both college and university. In fact, in the last five years, the number of university graduates applying to college has increased 40 percent.
There is a growing need for more creative educational pathways, colleges and universities are working more closely than ever before. For example, Loyalist College in Belleville has just launched its new journalism program with Trent University, while the University of Guelph/Humber offers a wide range of options including business and kinesiology.
Partnerships are important to student success. Not only are there improved agreements with universities, colleges enjoy strong, long-term relationships with industry. In collaboration with industry experts and partners, colleges regularly introduce new programs in order to train the next generation of workers in jobs that are in demand.
For example, in the last three years, new courses have been introduced that include mobile application development, biofuels and bioprocesses technician, digital cinematography and aquaculture.
As part of the educational journey, there is a growing need for flexibility. It's important that post-secondary education be compatible to all of our needs. This is especially true today where students can be any age and face a wide range of fiscal realities.
For example, online learning can allow people who aren't able to attend traditional classroom settings to get access to new training or retraining. A combination of both online and in-class learning is also part of the changing educational landscape.
Ontario already has a highly successful model for online programs. It's called OntarioLearn. It's a consortium of Ontario's colleges that registers more than 69,000 students each year.
OntarioLearn ranks as one of the largest providers of online course development and delivery in North America and could help make Ontario a world leader in online learning. Colleges are working with government to provide more opportunities for students to access post-secondary programs through online learning.
"With an uncertain job market, choosing a career path can be challenging but it can also be exciting. Students must be encouraged to explore the full range of post-secondary programs available to them, and pursue programs that best fit their strengths and aptitudes."
The importance of partnerships
With an uncertain job market, choosing a career path can be challenging but it can also be exciting. Students must be encouraged to explore the full range of post-secondary programs available to them, and pursue programs that best fit their strengths and aptitudes.
Ontario will have a strong workforce that will lead the way in the new innovation economy. Students are likely to land good jobs that use their skills and expertise.

PAX East Day Three Review
Was PAX East really over two months ago? Feels like I was there just yesterday.
With E3 nipping at our heels, now's the perfect time for the final entry of my in depth review of the event.
No concerts tonight, but OC Remix University did a set in the Jam Space. I almost missed it, but someone was at the door shouting out "CHRONO TRIGGER!" as I walked by, so I went right in. Incredible set.
Immediately after, they had a panel and previewed a lot of their upcoming projects. One of which is out now, Milky Way Wishes: A Kirby Super Star Tribute. They also previewed Bad Ass 2, a sequel to their first villain theme remix album, Bad Ass. This album is a must-listen. And I can't wait for BA2. My friends and I spent a lot of time in the hotel listening to the Baby Bowser boss theme from Yoshi's Island and I was thrilled to see that a remix to that will be on this album.
Back in the Jam Space, just enjoying the music. At one point Amanda Lepre (Crusader from Those Who Fight) joined the jam. Also there was a kid who played a killer Song of Storms arrangement on his Ocarina.
Suddenly I'm very inspired to attend MAGFest next year. And also, I'm ready to play some games.
Got a better look at Ducktails Remastered. Meh. The returning voice actors from the cartoon is great, but those high-res remastered sprites don't move their beaks when the characters are talking. It's weird. Plus, it looks so much better than the original, but not quite the same as a cartoon. Something is off, something is missing. It's the uncanny valley between game sprites and cell drawn cartoons. Creeps me out.
Finally got to try the two best indie games at the convention. The first is Soda Drinker Pro, a soda drinking simulator that challenges gamers to drink a cup of soda. To up the challenge, you are given a variety of environments to drink in, such as a pack, a game convention, outer space, and even inside a giant month. Game of the Year is here. Sorry, Bioshock.
The second is Dive Kick, the most challenging and strategic fighting game you'll ever play. The game controller has two buttons: Dive and Kick. The combat is visceral and cerebral at the same time as fighters try to dive kick each other to score that one hit K.O. One wrong move. One early kick or late dive and you're dead.
I'm not being sarcastic, this game is intense. You know that feeling when both you and your foe are down to a sliver of health and one wrong move can mean defeat? Every round feels exactly like that.
You pick from a assortment of fun parody characters, each with their own style and advantages. Choose carefully. And heed the advice of Master, who inspires you during the loading screens with such words of wisdom as "Buy this game."
I saw a sexy Sonic cosplay, accompanied by a Knuckles who looked like he'd beat the gold rings out of me if he saw how I was looking at Sonic. Sunday seemed to be cross-play day, because I also saw an all male Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers team. Morphinominal!
Made another attempt at finding Cards Against Humanity Pack C. No success. I give up. I try my luck at the bar.
The bar is out of Guinness. This convention is officially over.
Overall PAX East Grade: 95%

Tunesday: The Megas
In the year 200X, a robot named The Megas was created by Dr. Light to stop the mysterious evil genius Dr. Wily's ambition to conquer the world. In the year 2008, a video game cover band named The Megas was created by Rev. Breeding and E to rearrange the music from the Mega Man game series, adding lyrics that would breathe new depth into the Blue Bomber, the 8 Robot Masters, and even their creators.
The Megas's first album, Get Equipped, is a collection of ballads based on the songs from Mega Man 2. Each song endows one of the 8-bit sprites with very human characteristics and explores them. Bubble Man's insecurity. Metal Man's arrogance. Air Man's isolation-fueled rage. In "Lamentations of a War Machine" Mega Man is conflicted after his victory, wrestling with the concept of destroying his fellow robots in the name of "everlasting peace."
History Repeating is a larger, more ambitious project than Get Equipped. So large that it had to be split into two parts. In the first installment, History Repeating: Blue, The Megas continue to narrate the very human aspirations and motivations of the next generation of robotic bosses and even their human creators. Magnet Man has a forbidden attraction to Roll, Snake Man urges Mega Man to turn on Dr. Light and join the other side of the human/robot war, and Dr. Wily's jealousy of Dr. Light drives him insane. Again. And in "(I Want to be The One) To Watch You Die," the unofficial sequel to the band's very first song "I Want to be the One", Dr. Light has had enough of Wily's betrayal and urges Mega Man to put a permanent end to his machinations.
I'm eagerly awaiting the second part of this project, History Repeating: Red. The Megas has released a small previous of their work in the form of Fly on a Dog. Again, Mega Man questions his place, but this time in the eyes of his "father" Dr. Light. Is he the scientist's beloved son or just his favorite weapon?
Normally I prefer music that is available for free, but so far I've purchased all of The Megas albums. It's worth it. But if you prefer, the band has all of the tracks from History Repeating: Blue and Fly on a Dog available on their YouTube page.
Once you start to feel the same urge to own it that I felt after listening to the freebies for a week, you can purchase it at their Band Camp page here.

PAX East Day Two Review
Surprise, more buttons from FanGamer! Non-sarcastic surprise, one of those buttons was a special Triforce button, which got me a free t-shirt from their booth! The power to make wishes come true, indeed.
I raided the queue room a few times for swag bags, in an attempt to get all three sets of the PAX exclusive Cards Against Humanity booster cards. Unfortunately, half the extra bags I took had already been looted for their bounty and returned to the pile. Karma sucks.
You know what doesn't suck? Legends of the Cipher. It is a deck building card game that takes you through the life of a budding MC, struggling to climb up the ladder from local rapper to hip hop legend. And it's a lot of fun. I sat down with the lead game designer and rapper Seth Brown, also known as Ham-STAR, and played a quick round. Simple, easy to set up and get into, and a lot of fun. Especially the free-styling part, which you can actually have fun with and make up on the spot, or recite a favorite rhyme from memory, or just use the ones printed on the cards.
I also sat down to watch a demo of Saints Row IV. I was worried that this wondrously ridiculous game would die now that THQ was finished, but Deep Silver picked up the ball and kept running. Somehow this manages to be even more ludicrous than the last installment. The demo showcased a few weapons, such as the Inflato-Ray and the Dubstep Gun. Both are exactly what you think they are. Also, mech suits, aliens, and super powers are involved. Oh, and I forgot to mention that your character is now inexplicably the President of the United States. Hail to the Chief!
And hail to the cosplayers on Saturday. It seems people saved their A-Game for Day Two. There was a great family cosplay of Glados, some random Aperture Science employee, and the portrait of Cave Johnson. I also ran into a steampunk Sailor Moon and a GIANT Pikachu with working ears. It'd be terrifying if it weren't so adorable.
I also spotted an old favorite of mine, Mr. T with his giant box of Mr. T cereal. He rocks!
"Double Johnny Walker Black on the rocks, please." After a long day of wandering the convention hall, I decided to kill time before the concert by getting wrecked at the bar. The bartenders there take forever to get to you, but at a event that might as well be called "Queue-topia" what's one more line.
Two drinks later, it was time for the show.
It was impossible to tell that this was Sam Hart's first time performing at PAX East. His set was fantastic and he had the crowd eating out of his hand with his Mario Kart song. The Adele sample he threw in was a great touch.
MC Frontalot had an good set. No new songs and no surprise feature from Mega Ran this year (he was busy doing his own show elsewhere), but his remix of the Penny Arcade Theme with the Game of Thrones theme sample was mind blowing.
No new songs from Coulton either, but his set was hilarious. He seemed to have learned from his previous two PAX East performances that the crowd goes wild whenever he drinks water, so he trolled us by drinking refreshing applesauce instead.
Paul and Storm Storm and Paul headlined PAX this year! Zealous Arrr! They started with an ad for their web series, Learning Town. Looks hilarious. Then they opened with a completely original song, Baby Got Back. They followed that with a list of favorites, closing of course with the crowd rousing The Pirate's Wife's Lament. Also, Storm put on a Utilikilt that was thrown on stage during the show. Also, they had the crowd of something thousand geeks tweet an ASCII penis to Wil Whedon.
A good day and a great night. PAX East can really drain the life out of you and at this point I was definitely feeling it. Sunday is going to be a very lazy day.
Final Grade: 9.5 out of 10.

PAX East Day One Review
Cosplay: Nothing exceptional in this category today. The most impressive costume I saw was a group that mashed up Pikachu and Tron. Pokétron? PikaCLU? There was also a creative Knuckles cosplay I spotted at the hotel. Haven't seen her at the convention yet, so I'm not counting it. That could just be how she dresses everyday.
There was the usually scattering of Harley Quinns and Fionnas. I thought I saw an impressive Avengers group cosplay, but turned out they were just promoting the Marvel Heroes game. Speaking of which…
Games: Only went hands on with one game on the first day: Marvel Heroes, because the line was short. Once I played it, I could see why. Remember everything that was fun about Marvel Ultimate Alliance? Well, Marvel Heroes doesn't. There are no variations or combos with the melee attacks or special power attacks, which makes combat very boring.
On the plus side, I got a free poster from their booth. Speaking of which…
Swag: I won the aforementioned poster for knowing what Wundergore was. Won some free buttons from FanGamer.net, which will go well with the free buttons they gave me with my last order. They love to give away buttons. It's also suspicious how willing they are to give away those buttons.
Also got some CAH cards and a slap bracelet. The fact that they didn't give out any Luigi themed Swag for his big anniversary was a disappointment. Speaking of which…
Concert: The concert nights never disappoint. Metroid Metal wasn't there, unfortunately, but VGO rocked extra hard this year to restore the balance of the evening. Especially their insane paced F-Zero arrangement. The Video Game Choir was with them and they sounded amazing in One Winged Angel and Still Alive. VGO had a new vocalist for Snake eater. She wasn't as mind blowing at the vocalist they had last year, but she was still great.
I didn't stay for Those Who Kill and The Protomen. I had beers to drink. Speaking of Guinness…
Alcohol: One of my favorite parts of the BECC is the big bar near the center. The had Guinness Draught in the bottle, which is a major win. Next best thing, if they don't have it on tap. And the bar is right around the corner from the Rock Band freeplay stage, so I could take a little break from Con-Crawling by drinking a beer and watching a 12 year old crush the drums in an Avenged Sevenfold song.
All and all, this hasn't been as amazing as previous years. It's still been great, but the other years just set an outstanding standard.

Today I'm just going to tackle one Consulting Question.
Q. I need to negotiate payment on a project that went out of scope. How do I do this?
A. Trying to get paid for out-of-scope work after it's been done can often be like trying to un-ring a bell. Depending upon the circumstances, it may not even be possible to get that scope creep paid for. So, let's look at the circumstances.
The first thing to think about is, how do we know this project went out of scope? Do we have a measurable way to determine what features comprise the project's scope, like a functional spec? If not, you have a real problem, because without some record of what the project's expectations were at the start, anyone can interpret anything however they want. To be honest with you, if you don't have anything to prove that the project is out of scope, you're sunk. Start negotiating and be happy to get whatever you can get.
b) notify the client at the time of the change request that the change would increase the cost?
You get what you negotiate. Nobody will be fair with you; you have to defend yourself at all times.
So, if your client can throw up the "but you didn't TELL me this would cost extra" defense, you're in a tough position with regard to scope creep once you let it happen. At best, you can point to the scope doc and offer to remove the additional features if they don't want to pay for more then the original scope. But in all honesty, the moment a client plays the "but you didn't tell me" card, you're sunk.
The third scenario — the one that puts you in the best position — is that you have both a scope document and you have communicated effectively with the client. The scope documentation proves what you were setting out to build, which means that anything not in that document doesn't exist. So, changes are easy to identify and scope creep is easy to illustrate. The communication ensures that at the very start of the project OR at the moment a change request came in, the client was informed that yes, when you request more work, you have to actually PAY for it.
This is a one-two combo that even the most dishonest of clients will have a hard time applying twisted "you should work for free" logic to.
Every project has a scoping phase, even if it is lightweight. We believe that figuring out what you are building is a normal part of any project. Any client that refuses this and tries to order you to "just get started" is a client we don't want. Experience has taught me that ambiguity is frequently an ingredient in abusive client behavior.
Clients are informed before the project even begins that changes to the project plan WILL result in a revised estimate. Sometimes, the revision means that the estimate goes down. Sometimes, the revision means it goes up (obviously, in the case of scope creep, the estimate goes up). The determining factor is whether we are adding features (which is usually the case) or consolidating/eliminating features.
Clients are also informed that some degree of scope creep is normal, because nobody can know in perfect detail what a project will consist of. There are unknowns in everything, and software development is no exception.
I don't necessarily think that scope creep must be avoided. It CAN be avoided, but I don't think it MUST be in every case; sometimes scope creep is a good thing for a project — it can be a sign of opportunity for the client, and a chance to (ethically!) up-sell for you as a consultant. However, there is no question that scope creep must be managed. The client must have an opportunity to think about the consequences of change in terms of additional cost, longer delivery time, additional complexity, etc. And the developer must be paid for the work provided.
So, the short answer is, you get paid for out-of-scope projects by defining a change process before the work ever begins. Barring that, it's up to you and your negotiation skills. Try to do better next time.

So what's in it for the Filipinos?
So what's in it for the Filipinos? Even if the world has declared that the country has been performing well in terms of investment in the South-East Asia. So what do Filipino get out of it?
With the latest performance of the country as the strong economic trade we see the higher possibility to create more work for people. Take a look for example the total projects of foreign and Filipino investors approved by the seven IPA for the third quarter of 2017 are expected to generate 37, 891 jobs, according to PSA release December 2017. Meaning, the more investments we received the more jobs it will create. The more jobs it will create the more income it will give to Filipino people.
A lot of people are worried today because of whats happening with our stock market. These worried people are those who have invested when the market was high. But I want to give reassurance that PSEI will go up. If you look at the past 9 years the effective compounding growth rate grows every year. If you look at the psei since Dec 2002 until now it is growing 1.
Investing in the stock market has grown more than double. Do n't be frightened by the volatility because it is included in the experience of investing. Just keep it there because chances are you can double your money in 5 years or if not, wait for a little while it will double. That is one of the legitimate way of gaining your money. In fact the pockets of volatility are what the wise investors are waiting for in the market.

Sunil Gavaskar: FIFA World Cup 2022 marks a happy ending for Messi
Until last year, Lionel Messi had plenty of club championship titles in his kitty but had never won a title with his national team. Now, he has fulfilled his dream of lifting the biggest prize in football: the FIFA World Cup. Will it be just the inspiration the Indian cricket team needs to try and make it to the ICC World Test Championship final?

The story is now complete. And it has a happy ending.
The chieftain, who only last year became a king, has now conquered the world. Until last year, Lionel Messi was part of teams that won club championships but had never won a title with his national team. It changed last year when Messi, arguably the best player in the world, led Argentina to the Copa America title; now, he has clinched the FIFA World Cup.
The FIFA World Cup in Qatar was Messi's fifth and – in all probability, considering he is in his mid-30s – his last World Cup. Every player knows that there's nothing like winning the World Cup: it's not just a personal achievement but lifts the whole country. Even those who may not be sports fans may be thrilled by their country's success. Winning national championships is big, but winning for the country is an experience to be cherished because it doesn't happen too often.
Messi was named the player of the final, but many at the stadium felt Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez should have won that award. After all, had he not made that brilliant save in the dying seconds of extra time (121st minute), France would have won the title for the second time in four years. That wasn't to be, and Messi's ambition of lifting the FIFA World Cup was fulfilled. If he decides to quit now, he will do so on a high, unlike the person he is often compared to: Cristiano Ronaldo.
Welcome return: Kuldeep Yadav, playing his first Test since March 2021, played a significant role in India's 188-run victory over Bangladesh at Chattogram. He took eight wickets and excelled with the bat, too, scoring a career-best 40. | Photo Credit: AP
Ronaldo had to face the ignominy of being benched for the last two games. The Portugal team manager who did that has now been sacked. Whether he was sacked for the inability of Portugal to get through to the semifinals or for making Ronaldo come on as a substitute will not be known. Fact remains that his decision to bench Ronaldo did make waves; it's like the coach of the Indian cricket team asking Virat Kohli to bat at No. 8.
Talking of cricket, the Indian team's win in the first Test against Bangladesh increases its chances of making it to the World Test Championship final. Admittedly, it needs to win four of its next five Test matches to get there, but as they say, well begun is half done. Cheteshwar Pujara got a Test century after a long time; it turned out to be his fastest in terms of deliveries faced. He also scored a gritty 90 in the first innings, digging India out of a hole. It was his partnership with Shreyas Iyer that steadied the ship, and thanks to significant contributions with the bat from R. Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav, India was able to post a 400-plus total.
Kuldeep showed a welcome return to form, picking up five wickets in the first innings and three in the second to pip Pujara for the player of the match award. It was a hard-fought win for India as the pitch got a lot better than on day one when the ball turned a fair bit. The pitch at Dhaka for the second Test might be a bit flatter, meaning more hard work in store for the Indian team. The team is looking nicely balanced to ace the test.
By all accounts, the Indian team has a lot of Messi fans, and it is hoped that Messi's World Cup win will be just the inspiration the boys need to win the next few Tests and give themselves a shot at the ICC World Test Championship.

Clare series 12 recommissioned but for who knows when?
I'm crossing my fingers that the second episode of Radio 4's new sitcom Clare In The Community will be as funny as the first. It's the sharpest script I've heard for years.
Programme of the week is this new sitcom based on a cartoon strip in The Guardian.
Sally Phillips manages to make this politically correct monstrosity mildly sympathetic by the end- by which time the tone has changed from bitter to wildly funny. All very acidic and highly enjoyable.
A completely engaging narrative, beautifully observed characters and lots of very funny material. A radio sit-com that pleasingly stresses the "com" rather than the "sit".
Two episodes in, it's clear that Radio 4's found a really funny sitcom. Hurrah - there are four episodes still to come!
The heart sinks at the prospect of a sitcom based on a Guardian strip cartoon about a social worker- but don't be put off. This is actually very funny. Honestly. Truly.
It's quick paced with an intelligent script, and this episode has a great, if risky, pay off.

Q: Difference between `find . -name` and `find -name` in shell? Is there a difference between find . -name and find -name in the command shell?

A: There is no difference!
find . -name explicitly mentions to find current directory
find -name automatically searches current directory
Read
man find

A: When using GNU find these two are equivalent. However, other versions of find (e.g. the BSD/MacOS X find IIRC) require an explicit path argument. Therefore, supplying an explicit . reference to the current directory is a more portable alternative.

A: it's equivalent. The manual page of find says:

If no paths are given, the current directory is used.

Daryl Morey, Rockets will have Westbrook, Harden on load management
Ky Carlin
The Houston Rockets are expected to contend for an NBA title in 2019-20. Their path is a tough one in the Western Conference where LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the Los Angeles Lakers loom.
The Golden State Warriors, who have eliminated the Rockets three of the last four seasons, are not expected to be the same juggernaut after losing Kevin Durant in free agency and are also expected to not have Klay Thompson a majority of the season.
The window of opportunity for Houston to win a title has never been wider, but in order to be ready for this run, they will need their guys fresh. General manager Daryl Morey was a guest on the Dan Patrick Show and he stated that superstars Russell Westbrook and James Harden will be on a load management schedule in 2019-20.
"Yeah, it always is (part of the strategy). We try not to label it…Obviously our goal is just to win the title this year. We're not looking for any regular season goals. Everyone on our team has won pretty much every reward you can except a championship so yeah, it'll be a very put together plan by our staff throughout the season to have our guys peak in April."

Load management has been a controversial topic in the past as fans have been upset at paying for tickets to see their favorite players play only to see they are being rested, but it's a proven method.
Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs are famous for starting the resting trend as he would send stars home from road trips multiple times to make sure they're ready for the games that matter most in May and June.
The Toronto Raptors had a plan for superstar Kawhi Leonard to make sure that he's ready for the playoffs and it paid off with them winning the championship.
Houston's chance to win the title is great in 2019-20. The goal is to win a title and in order for that to happen, they will have to deliver a fresh Harden and Westbrook to the postseason.

Obama makes it official today
By NEDRA PICKLER The Old State Capitol in Springfield, Ill. — where Abraham Lincoln held office before running for president — is the setting for the latest milestone in Sen. Barack Obama's remarkable rise to prominence. The first-term U.S. senator planned to formally announce his candidacy for president Saturday in the city where he began his political career just 10 years ago.
By NEDRA PICKLER
The Old State Capitol in Springfield, Ill. — where Abraham Lincoln held office before running for president — is the setting for the latest milestone in Sen. Barack Obama's remarkable rise to prominence. The first-term U.S. senator planned to formally announce his candidacy for president Saturday in the city where he began his political career just 10 years ago.
Obama is a newcomer to the national scene, having served just two years in the Senate, but he already is considered Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's chief rival among many vying for the Democratic nomination. He brings a wealth of political skills but a thin elective resume — the very reason he chose to stage his official campaign launch from the steps of the Old State Capitol.
Obama, who would be the first black U.S. president if elected, was tying his bid to the legacy of Lincoln — who served eight years in the Illinois Legislature — while using Springfield to tout his own eight-year record as a state senator.
In a video message on his Web site Friday, Obama said he was launching "a journey to take our country back and change the fundamental nature of our politics."
"I know a lot of you are cynical about the possibilities of that change," Obama said. "Sometimes it seems as if the game is fixed and it only works for the few and the powerful, but I fundamentally believe there is another brand of politics.
"Let's go get to work," he said.
Obama planned to travel throughout Iowa on Saturday and Sunday before returning to Chicago for a rally Sunday night. He planned to visit New Hampshire on Monday on the heels of Clinton, whose first visit to the state as a presidential candidate over the weekend provided some early competition for attention from Obama's announcement.
Obama, 45, gained national recognition with the publication of two best-selling books, "Dreams From My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope," and by delivering the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. His optimistic message and his compelling biography immediately sparked talk of his White House potential.
Initially he said he would not run for president, but he revealed last fall that he was considering it after receiving so much encouragement. He formed a presidential exploratory committee last month.
Since then, Obama has hired some of the Democratic Party's top talent to work on a campaign headquartered in his hometown of Chicago, and he has offered some proposals.
He introduced a bill to prevent President Bush from increasing troop levels in Iraq and to remove U.S. combat forces from the country by March 31, 2008 — legislation that has virtually no chance of becoming law while Bush is president.
Obama was not yet elected to the U.S. Senate when Congress voted to give Bush the authority to go to war, but he gave a speech in 2002 opposing the war. He said Saddam Hussein posed no imminent threat to the United States and predicted the invasion would lead to an occupation with undetermined costs and consequences.
His vision of what was to come in Iraq and his opposition to the invasion have helped build his support among the anti-war crowd.

Discussion in 'General Electronics Chat' started by shortbus, Apr 16, 2010.
I am working on a on going project and need to know if this will work as I intend it to. It's based loosely on a Bill Marsden circuit, just changed to suit my project.
The A and B are from the rest of the circuit. I want the led to light when either of the voltages feeding the LM339 go below a set point. What I don't know is can two circuit branches control one led?
Open collector is a common way to create a gate. In this case it is a type of NAND, since both outputs have to be high to turn off the LED. It is used a lot by TTL.
The circuit will work backwards to what you want.
The LED lights when an input goes above the reference voltage, not below.
If the input (which is negative) goes above the positive input then the output of the comparitor goes low. A low on the base of the transistor will turn on the LED.
AG is right. Just reverse the inputs, easy fix.
Yeah after I posted I saw my 339 inputs were back wards. Not thinking when I drew schematic.
I want to thank you all on this forum for all the help and sharing of knowledge that you do!
Have you looked at LTSpice? It is free and it will even let you simulate your circuits.


Also known as glogg, this warming bevvie is an essential part of Christmas in Sweden. Have this mulled wine handy at your next holiday party so guests can sip on and enjoy the season of hygge.
In slow cooker, combine wine, cloves, orange zest, star anise, cinnamon stick, ginger and sugar. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.
Add vodka; stir to combine. Divide orange slices (if using) among glasses; pour wine mixture over top.
Test Kitchen Tip: Slow cooking the glogg is a hands-free way of keeping the wine at the perfect temperature and ensures the alcohol doesn't boil off.

WW app
What happens at a WW Workshop?
If you're yet to visit a Workshop, you may have wondered how it works. Here's a rundown of what to expect - from private coaching to lively group discussions.
What to expect at a Workshop
Weekly WW Workshops (once known as a Weight Watchers meeting), is just one aspect of WW that has undergone a refresh. Once upon a time, members would visit a Weight Watchers centre or hall, weigh in on the scales, set a goal for the week ahead and then the Coach would run them through a discussion on various program-related topics.
These days a WW Studio visit takes a more holistic form—one that inspires long term behavioural change among members, rather than focusing primarily on weight loss.
Here's what happens:
1. Wellness check-in
On arrival, you're greeted by your WW Coach, who chats to you about your progress over the past week. Known as a Wellness Check-in, this one-on-one session allows you to reflect on what's going well and what's challenging you. You'll set your intentions for the week ahead. Your Coach will ask whether or not you want to weigh in on the scales. It's entirely up to you—and, if you choose to weigh yourself, the numbers are seen only by you and your Coach. It's a completely private and confidential process.
2. Chat to members
While the Coach continues their Wellness Check-ins, you can sit back and catch up with the other members in your group. Some might be long-time WW members; others might just be starting their journey and are keen to pick up tips and strategies from more experienced members. It's a friendly and supportive community to share, motivate and inspire each other. Some members arrange walking groups, meet ups and coffee catch ups that you can take part of. Another great way to keep connected to the WW Community is with Connect via the WW member app. Follow members and share your journey in our private community. It's like Instagram for WW members!
3. Learn healthy habits
Once everyone has checked in, the WW Coach leads a 20 to 30 minute workshop on a topic related to healthy living and behavioural change. One week you might discuss how to prepare healthy meals; another week, you might work on building your self-confidence.
What do Coaches say about WW Workshops?
WW Coach Marie Petersen says that Check-ins and Workshops encourage action-oriented discussion across the three pillars of the WW program: Food, Movement and Mindset —with the latter a particularly crucial ingredient when it comes to improving your wellbeing.
"I think what's great about the WW Workshops is that they equip members with the belief and confidence in themselves that they can achieve anything," she says. "I can give them all sorts of tools relating to nutrition and activity, but I believe it all comes down to having the right mindset. Once they have that, they're on their way to living a vibrant, thriving and healthy life."
Petersen explains that not all members attend Workshops—digital members prefer the convenience of keeping in touch with a WW Coach and fellow members in a virtual setting. However, those that do choose to attend Workshops also have the option to switch up the day or location to suit their lifestyle.
"Research shows that members who attend Workshops are more likely to succeed than those who don't," Petersen says. "It's such a great source of support."
What do members think of WW Workshops?
WW member Fiona Kent has been a regular WW Workshop attendee since January 2018, encouraged by her sister's experience with the program. "It's a nice community with a very positive environment," she says of the WW Studio she checks in to every Saturday morning. "It's a good touch-point before I head into the following week."
For Eliza Griffiths, WW Workshops have been an essential part of her journey, during which she has lost 34kg and been recognised as a member success story at the Victoria WW Coach seminar in 2018. "At the beginning, when I felt like I had a long way to go, the other members were lovely and so supportive," she says. "The sessions are interactive and encourage everyone to take part, whether it's writing something down or having a conversation about the topic we're covering. And it's particularly helpful if you don't have a support network outside the group, to have other people reassuring you that they're going through the same things you are."
It's this community element that makes returning member Julie Morris eager to never miss her weekly WW Workshop, which she's been attending since July 2018. "It keeps me focused," she says. "The group is very supportive, friendly and open. The Wellness Check-ins are individualised and personal—and I like that the numbers on the scale are no longer the focus."

By Overclockers Club on May 01, 2012
I was very impressed with how close to the 7950 the HD 7870 performs, however, the price difference between the two cards is so small that the performance we saw makes perfect sense. Sapphire's 7870 that we looked at today will run you about $360,...

At this time of the year you don't need to travel far and wide to experience some holiday fun. Cities all over the world put on various festive treats for everyone to enjoy.
My home city of London hosts Winter Wonderland, a huge German Christmas market and funfair taking up a fair chunk of one corner of Hyde Park near Marble Arch.
The small, almost inconspicuous entrance belies the size that Winter Wonderland has now grown into.
I guess we are all guilty of not exploring our own doorsteps enough and that is certainly true of my relationship with London. I know countless other cities around the world better than I do my own home city and that is something I am going to have to work on.
One thing that has remained constant over the past 10 years has been a trip to Winter Wonderland. It doesn't feel like Christmas to me until I have had my yearly fix of some of the largest travelling rides in the world, mulled wine and german beer then back on some more rides.
Over the years I have seen the event grow. Rides have come and gone, replaced by bigger and better versions. The layout gradually changes every year to accommodate the influx of thousands of visitors the event now attracts.
This year the whole thing shifted over from previous years. Walkways are larger making it easier to get around. This is it's 10th anniversary year and the organisers have celebrated by bringing over the largest transportable roller coaster from the celebrated German markets. With a slight name change from its original name of Olympia Looping, Munich Looping is the star of this years event and it doesn't disappoint.
With 5 loops and more than enough g-force along it's 90 second circuit, it does not disappoint.
It's not just rollercoasters (although there is an impressive and growing collection every year). Kids are catered for with Santaland, and pre bookable perennial favourites; the UK's largest outdoor ice rink around the bandstand, the giant observation wheel, the Magical Ice Kingdom created every year with over 500 tonnes of ice, 2 different circus experiences, Zippos Christmas Circus and Cirque Berserk.
One of three epic multi floor fun houses. Fun for all ages not just the kids.
The Bavarian Village caters to more adult centred entertainment with music and and bars in an impressively large marquee.
This years main tent is slightly smaller than last year but the stage entertainment is as professionally produced as always. Joseph is fast becoming a Christmas tradition.
Totalling 100 rides and attractions ranging from the smallest carnival stalls right up to the largest travelling rollercoasters in the world then throw in the Circus Megadome and the Bavarian Village, Winter Wonderland has come a long way from its start in 2007 with just the ice rink and some Christmas stalls. There truly is something here for everyone.
Where ever you are this festive season, I hope you have a fantastic time with friends and family. If you are in London you still have time to experience this years Winter Wonderland which is on until 2nd January. If you aren't near London why not use this festive break to explore your own home town.
Another new feature this year is this illuminated walkway between the Bavarian Village and one of the entrances while Blizzard spins it's fearless riders in the background.

We now have around 90 years of recorded music – before 1925 it's not that good, partly due to the poor songs ("Don't Dilly Dally on the Way", "My Word you do Look Queer", "Ma He's Making Eyes at Me") but mostly because they had to yell down a horn to record anything before 1925.The way popular Anglo-American music evolved over the decades was fast. Genres were borned, fizzed awhile, then phoenixed into something newer. I see this as a spectacular collaboration between Scottish, Irish and [...]

AP Carter, his wife Sarah and his cousin Maybelle make up the Carter Family, who were foundational in country music, bridging the nineteenth century period of English and Scottish ballads, which they played, to the Old Time country music they spread from the Appalachians across the country. Who cares? Well Mother Maybelle, whose invention of a kind of guitar strumming influenced country music for a long time, and who was the Grandame of Country Music for decades of musicians, was the mother of J [...]

Ok, I read this book for a book club. It was first of all, pretty great, well told, quietly dramatic, but ultimately (and hence the 3 stars) extremely dry. Like I think it probably captured the reality of the story it was telling but it was documentary to the point of dragging. I was all prepared to go to book club and sing its praises but in hindsight, it was just okay, and I would not have sought it out or been particularly intrigued by it. I would rather watch a PBS documentary on the Carter [...]
This graphic novel deserves high praise. I guess my highest recommendation is that I stayed up until 1:30AM last night to finish reading this book. It tells the story of The Carter Family, focusing mostly, but by no means entirely, on AP Carter. The book reads almost like a modern passion play, including tales of innocence, love, betrayal, success, lonliness, racism, greed, and ultimately death, all anchored by the strength of family and love for music. One of the things I like most about the bo [...]

I read this sometime in the last year and will need to read it again before I can write a review. But I do remember enjoying it and learning quite a bit, so, for now I'll leave it at 4 stars.

While it's a very interesting biography on the Carter Family, I feel that it suffers from a lack of actually showing their impact on music. What about the 50s, 60s, 70s? This just ends and it's over. Even just a timeline of later events would have shown the scope. As it is it feels like a story of musicians who might have been regionally popular but didn't have a big following. Which could be farther from the truth. Also the artist isn't good and distinguishing between characters and don't get m [...]

A wonderfully charming and informative biography of an American family and their undeniably capital-A American story: their modest origins, their rise to greatness, flirtations with the dangers of business and profiteering, their struggles to maintain a family, and their heartbreaking downfall. Young and Lasky have perfected the art of graphic history, but not just because they have few great contemporaries to be found. Young's capturing of the old Virginian drawl coupled with Lasky's simple and [...]
I was very sorry indeed when I finished this book, I wanted it to keep going! A compelling and amazing story of one of America's greatest music acts. The characters come alive on the pages. The classic composition of the artwork harkens of Lil Orphan Annie, The Yellow Kid, Gasoline Alley, and other newspaper comics of the time. The old-timey feel to the linework and text, as well as the choice of colors, helped to create the time warp I took back to the 1920s, where I avidly followed the Carter [...]
Anyone not named Frank M. Young or David Lasky should just ask for their GN's back from the Eisner comitee.I have always been a fan of the band the Carter Family but, shy of June knew little about them.If you want to experiencee how wonderful and dreadful the South was in the 20's through the 40's this may be as close as you will ever get.The storytelling is down home but always wildly inventive. Just a joy to read even when thing got a bit dire and depressing.
This is just a fantastic book, really! And for some reason, the graphic novel format just matches up perfectly with the story that it tells. I am not particularly a fan of the Carter Family or their style of music, but I loved this book all the same.
Jen Vaughn
Hell yeah! Quiet story about quiet people. Beautiful music.
I've been waiting years for this book. It didn't disappoint.

A very cool history of the Carter Family focusing on their "glory" years from the late 1920s to the '40s, written in graphic novel format.
Jimina Sabadú
Me sorprende que no tenga una puntuación más alta. La Familia Carter es poco conocida en España y siempre que la he oído mencionar ha sido en Melodías Pizarras o en Mondo Brutto. Este comic narra una parte de su historia mostrándola como un mundo pequeño, casi de fantasía, en la que unas personas crean sin saberlo, y sin darle importancia, una leyenda. Ellos están más preocupados por coner mañana, por llevar a los hijos al colegio, o por arreglar el coche. La sencillez de los personaj [...]
mariesbookgarden/Told in graphic novel style, The Carter Family tells the story of how this country's Americana grandmothers and grandfathers got their start in music. I enjoyed reading about the history of this talented musical family.
A strangely arms-length-distance biography of the titular singing group, done in the style of old-time comic strips. It's interesting, but it never really connected with me on an emotional level. I think this would be best read with a more book-length biography, because I spent a lot of time feeling like I didn't quite "get it." Clearly a labor of love for the artist and writer, and very well done, but it just didn't work for me as a casual fan.
This is my first "graphic novel experience," unintended and . . . disappointing (at best). I requested a number of books from different libraries, because I have a great love for the music of The Original Carter Family. They were what is called a bridge band, in that they somehow bridged the cultural chasm between 19th century ballads, Irish scaffold songs, laments and hymns and the emerging musical tastes shaped by the modernity of the 20th. A.P. Carter is responsible for mining the hills for v [...]

Frank Young and David Lasky's Carter Family is told almost like a serialized comic. Many "chapters" are 1-4 pages long, detailing a particular event -- Maybelle marrying AP's brother Eck, or AP asking his publisher to give songwriting credit to a fellow song collector. Being less familiar with the Carter Family's story, some of these events suggested portent (Janette saving up for her own autoharp and AP buying chickens with the money instead) or highlights that I didn't recognize (t [...]
This graphic novel is, as its title suggests, about the Carter Family -- a husband, a wife, and a cousin in Virginia who become successful country/folk singers (one member of the group is mother to a little girl who will grow up to be June Carter Cash, although June's appearance in this book is relatively minor). We start with the courtship of two of the he group's singers, see the process by which Pleasant Carter assembles and arranges songs, and watch as they catch attention, grow popular, end [...]

This is one of the greatest musical biographies and graphic novels I have ever read. It is a great supplement to the more detailed Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone?: The Carter Family and Their Legacy in American Music. This book makes you feel as if you are a personal friend of the Carter's. You see their struggles and their triumphs first hand. The centerpiece of the story is A.P the flawed yet brilliant and under-appreciated folk song collector. His impact on country music is enormous, and it w [...]

Graphic novel biography of the Carter Family. The Carter Family helped to define the early days of country music, singing hymns and ballads out of the mountain tradition. A P Carter traveled the mountains of Appalachia to find music add to their repertoire, music that might have dies away if he had not collected it. A P's cousin, Maybelle, played the guitar, and his wife, Sarah, played an auto-harp. Maybelle developed a way of strumming and picking out the notes to the melody that had great infl [...]
This is fairly well-done, based on thorough very research of relevant interviews (some conducted by the author) and archival materials. The drawing style is reminiscent of Harold Gray's Little Orphan Annie or perhaps latter-day Chester Brown in his Louis Riel mode. It's a compelling story and Young paces the material nicely, though it sometimes feels a bit like a book report, with certain sequences being overburdened with info-dumps about things like developments in recording technology, etc. Th [...]
Over the last ten years through my association with WRUW FM 91.1 in Cleveland, I have become a fan of "classic" country music and the Carters are basically the progenitors of all country music that came after (and rock 'n' roll as well.) This work has a lot of potential, since we already know what is possible with biographical graphic novels in works like Maus and Persepolis, but ultimately it falls short. The graphic novel does a good job of laying out the story of the Carters, but we don't rea [...]
If you've never heard of the Carter Family, you're missing a huge part of American music history. Countless acts have professed influence from the timeless melodies crafted by the Carters. This graphic novel seeks to tell their story. It is, by turns, a love story, an all-American rags-to-riches tale, and an homage to traditional music. It's a great story, but I'm not sure if the graphic novel format is ideal. Granted, it does make for a very accessible introduction to the Carter Family (and eve [...]
A graphic portrayal of June Carter-Cash's musical family - it does not cover June's life but rather the life of her parent's. Even more so her aunt, uncle, and cousins. This was a huge disappointment. I was definitely looking forward to reading about June, her sisters, and Maybelle, which were the individuals I thought made up The Carter Family musical group . It was actually Alvin Pleasant (A.P.), Maybelle's brother-in-law, that began the group. He was a huge jerk, and worse, to everyone. I hon [...]
The writing and the contents of this book are outstanding. The artwork is a slight weakness that kept me from giving it a fifth star.In addition to being an overview of the history of the Carter family, this work includes a brief CD of their music, from their time on a Texas border radio station, in 1939. The format of the book, with each chapter name coming from the name of one of their songs, was clever and well thought out. By the end of the book, the reader has learned a lot about the family [...]
Jendi
I love the Carter Family and was glad to learn more about their place in American history. I don't know if this book would appeal to readers who weren't already fans of their music, because the focus is on the singers' difficult personal lives, rather than trying to give readers some flavor of the songs themselves. I respect the tremendous amount of work that went into condensing all this history into a short illustrated biography. However, I felt the authors didn't tap into the storytelling pot [...]

This is high quality 840-Point Breadboard is our favourite breadboard in Australia.
We put a PermaProto full sized proto board in a blender with a Pi Cobbler and out emerged this very tasty confection - the PermaProto for Pi! It has the Cobbler baked right in.
Making a project that will fit into a "Altoids Smalls" Mint Tin? Or maybe you just need a small amount of prototyping space and a larger breadboard size is too big? Put down that PCB shear and pick up a Perma-Proto in the new exciting shape! .


There is a request from a member of our Rifle community asking for assistance for herself and her daughter. There has been a tragic death in their family and they are reaching out to the supportive network of Mermaids. I invite you to help if you feel called to do so, by contacting Sharon and Lauren to provide your presence in helping them cope through this difficult time. Your prayers and loving thoughts are welcome also, however please keep them just in your prayers, as due to the tragic circumstances being told to pray is compounding their grief for now.
Please contact Sharon on 625 9011 and as this is a overwhelming period for them, please persist in connecting with her if this message resonates with you to help.

The FINANCIAL -- IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, and Ukrgasbank signed a Memorandum of Understanding on November 15 that will help set the stage for the privatization of Ukrgasbank, Ukraine's fourth-largest lender.
The partnership is a key component of IFC's strategy to establish a transparent and competitive process for the privatization of the country's state-owned banks, to increase credit growth and significantly reduce the high number of non-performing loans.
As pre-privatization support, IFC will help Ukrgasbank strengthen its corporate governance, ensure its operational autonomy, and refine its commercially-driven banking model.
The MOU is part of a larger effort by Ukraine's government, which controls more than half the country's banking sector, to reform and strengthen state-owned banks before their eventual privatization. The signing was attended by the World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim, who is on his first visit to Ukraine this week, and Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, according to IFC.
In September, IFC provided Ukrgasbank with a $20 million trade finance guarantee. Since the start of the partnership in May 2016, Ukrgasbank has financed green projects worth over 5 billion hryvnias ($200 million) and developed a robust pipeline of projects worth a total of 12 billion hrvynias ($440 million).
