Kayden Jackson Joins The Reds
Barnsley Football Club is delighted to confirm the signing of Wrexham's young striker, Kayden Jackson.
The exciting young forward has signed a two-year contract at Oakwell after the Reds agreed an undisclosed fee with Wrexham.
"There were a few other clubs in the mix offering me certain deals," he said. "But as soon as I spoke to the gaffer and Ben (Mansford) here and saw the plan they had for the club and the way they wanted to go forward, as soon as I saw that I thought it matched me perfectly. I want to continue to develop.
An exciting young striker with blistering pace, Kayden told Barnsley PlayerHD why he chose Barnsley over several other interested parties.
The 22-year-old is now officially the fastest player amongst the Barnsley squad after completing sprint testing for part of his medical assessment at Oakwell.
"I admire the way they play. It's very rare you see in this day and age two attacking wingers and two attacking strikers. As a striker you want to be playing 4-4-2 and two wingers getting down the wing and putting balls into the box."
"I've got bundles of pace as a lot of people have probably heard," he added. "I like to get at defenders and not give them a minute's peace. I like to be scoring goals."
Reds Head Coach Paul Heckingbottom added, "We're really thrilled to have Kayden choose us over other clubs. He has pace to burn, likes to get at defenders and will fit in nicely to the way we play. He has brilliant potential and we're excited to have him on board."

Peacock I (Sloop-of-War)
Ship History
Peacock (Sloop-of-War) i
(Sloop-of-War: tons 509; length 117 feet, 11 inches; beam 31 feet 6 inches; draft 16 feet 4 inches; complement 140 officers and men; armament two (2) 12-pounders, twenty-two (22) 32-pounder carronades)
A bird noted for its colorful tail feathers.
The first Peacock was authorized by Act of Congress 3 March 1813; laid down 9 July 1813 by Adam & Noah Brown at the New York Navy Yard; and launched 19 September 1813.
Peacock departed New York 12 March 1814 to deliver supplies to the naval station at St. Mary's, Ga. The sloop-of-war then patrolled off Florida, spotting the British brig Epervier and a convoy of three merchant ships at dawn on 29 April. Peacock gave chase and, about four hours later, the enemy brig took in sails and cleared for action. At five minutes before eleven, Peacock opened fire within pistol shot of Epervier. The battle was close and savage. In a forty-five minute action, Peacock's gunfire cast down the brigs' fore top mast, cut away the fore rigging and put twenty holes between wind and water. When Epervier struck her colors, the British warship had suffered eight dead, fifteen wounded, three guns dismounted and five feet of water in her hold. In return, Peacock suffered severe damage to one mast and two men wounded, a relative success made more memorable by the discovery of $120,000 in specie in the captured brig's lock room.
After repairing damage to the prize the next day, the two ships sailed northeast that evening. During the afternoon of 1 May, with the two ships near Amelia Island just south of St. Mary's, the two British frigates and a brig on blockade station gave chase. Peacock and Epervier (the latter with a prize crew of seventeen men) split up, Peacock running south before the wind. Ultimately chased by one of the British frigates' on three seperate occassions, Peacock (and her greatly relieved crew) arrived safely in Savannah on 4 May. In addition to a good deal of prize money doled out to the crew, Warrington later received a gold medal by a resolution of Congress, with the commissioned officers receiving silver medals with swords given to each of the midshipmen and the sailing master.
Peacock departed Savannah on 4 June on her second cruise; this time proceeding to investigate the Bahamas before following the trade route east across the Atlantic to sail the coasts of Ireland and Spain. She returned to New York, via the West Indies, on 29 October 1814, having captured fourteen prizes, of which twelve were burned or sunk and two sent in as cartels.
Peacock, in company with sloop Hornet and storeship Tom Bowline, departed New York for her third cruise on 23 January 1815. Chased by a British frigate off South America, the American ships split up, with Peacock sailing alone to the southeast. She rounded the Cape of Good Hope and cruised in the Indian Ocean that spring, where she captured and burned three prizes, including the British merchant ship Union with a cargo of sugar. On 30 June, Peacock fell in with a small 14-gun East India Company cruiser in the Straits of Sunda. When Nautilus claimed peace had been signed at Ghent the previous December, Warrington suspected a ruse and demanded the brig strike her colors. The British refused and Peacock responded with a broadside, killing or wounding fifteen. After boarding Nautilus, Warrington, in what must have been a meloncholy affair, confirmed peace had been signed. He freed the prize and returned home, arriving in New York on 30 October. A court of inquiry was held in Boston a year later, exonerating Captain Warrington of all blame.
Peacock left New York again on 13 June 1816, bound for France, with Honorable Albert Gallatin and party aboard. After pulling into Havre de Grace 2 July, she proceeded to join the Mediterranean Squadron, remaining there until her crews' enlistment expired and she returned to Norfolk on 17 January 1819. Following six months of repair work, the sloop conducted a second Mediterranean cruise until 8 May 1821, when she departed for home. Peacock then went into ordinary at the Washington Navy Yard 10 July.
The yard period did not last long, however, as Peacock recommissioned on 3 June 1822 and sailed south to the West Indies where she joined Commodore David Porter''s West India Squadron. Although she served mainly as the squadron flagship at Key West, Florida, where the sloop-of-war coordinated the fleets of schooners and galleys that searched the keys for pirates, Peacock did conduct several operations. On 28 September, for example, she helped raid a pirate camp at Funda Bay, burning two pirate boats, capturing five others and liberating "89 sacks of coffee concealed in the woods..." The following spring, Peacock captured a pirate schooner and a sloop before a "malignant fever" struck down her crew in September. Retiring from the West Indies, Peacock pulled into Norfolk on 28 November to recover.
In March 1824, the sloop proceeded south towards the Pacific and, after passing Cape Horn, Peacock cruised along the west coast of South America for over two years, keeping a close eye on the affairs of the Spanish colonies then struggling for independence. In September 1825, Peacock sailed to the Sandwich Islands, where an agreement on commerce and navigation was negotiated with the Hawaiian Kingdom. From 24 July 1826 until 6 January 1827, the sloop visited the Society Islands and other Pacific island groups, sending numerous reports back to the Secretary of the Navy regarding the whaling industry, the fur trade of the northern Pacific, and American trade in the southern Pacific. On the return cruise to South America, Peacock was struck by a whale, causing serious hull damage. Nevertheless, she reached Callao on 14 May 1827, from which she departed 25 June for home.
Arriving at New York in October 1827, the sloop decommissioned and was broken up and rebuilt at the Navy Yard during 1828 in preparation for duty with a surveying expedition to the South Pacific. While her size and configuration stayed about the same, the newly rebuilt sloop-of-war was only fitted out with ten guns, eight long 24-pounders and two long 9-pounders. The second Peacock, although plans for the exploratory voyage stalled in Congress, was fitted out for regular naval service service that summer and departed on a long West Indies cruise on 26 September 1829. She operated as part of Commodore Elliott''s squadron, protecting American ships and encouraging the nation''s trade in the West Indies until returning to Boston on 25 April 1831.
Peacock departed again on 8 March 1832, this time for the Brazil station, from which she departed some months later in company with Boxer, on a diplomatic mission to the Far East. Onboard Peacock was the Honorable Edmund Roberts, who signed a treaty of amity and commerce with the Kingdom of Siam on 20 March 1833. The two warships then proceeded to Arabia, where Roberts negotiated a treaty of amity and commerce with the powerful Sultan of Muscat on 21 September 1833. The treaty opened up East African commerce to American merchant ships, particularly the ivory and spice trade via Zanzibar. Returning to the United States, Peacock was laid up at New York on 31 May 1834.
The sloop departed New York on 25 April 1835, in company with Enterprise, on her second voyage to the Far East. The squadron delivered the ratified treaties to Siam and Muscat, and during the latter visit, Peacock ran aground on a coral reef in the Arabian Gulf. The ship was only floated off by throwing her heavy cannon and round shot overboard. The squadron then visited various ports along the coast of Asia, in efforts to protect American commerce in these waters. Peacock also stopped at Honolulu in the Sandwich Islands on 7 September 1836, where she inquired about the whaling industry, before sailing for home, pulling into Norfolk on 2 November 1837.
The following year, as Congress had finally authorized the South Seas Surveying and Exploring Expedition in 1836, Peacock joined sloop Vincennes, brig Porpoise, store-ship Relief and two schooners, Sea Gull and Flying Fish, at Hampton Roads in the summer of 1838. Under the command of Lt. Charles Wilkes, and joined by noted naturalists and botanists, the expedition sailed on 15 August, arriving at Porto Praya in the Cape Verde Islands on 7 October. After surveying shoals reported in these areas, the expedition headed south and west, rounding Cape Horn in January 1839.
The expedition lost its first ship in May of 1839 when Sea Gull was lost in a storm off the coast of Chile. The squadron then explored and mapped waters in the Tuamotu Archipelago and around Tahiti, Society Islands, in August before surveying Samoan waters in October and November. Peacock spent the winter in New Zealand, while Vincennes attempted a cruise to Antarctica, before the entire squadron sailed to Fiji in early 1840. The ships then proceeded to the Sandwich Islands, where the squadron spent the winter surveying and mapping Oahu and Hawaii. Sailing to the Pacific northwest in April 1841, the squadron commenced surveying work along the coast of California and the Oregon that summer.
Arriving off the mouth of the Columbia river on 17 July, Peacock attempted to cross the bar the next day but ran hard aground in the channel at about eleven in the morning. The crew tried to bring the ship by the wind, but the heave of the sea forced her on end. The ebb tide then stove in one of the ships boats and the ship was repeatedly lifted and dropped on the reef, causing severe hull damage and flooding. Although the pumps kept the ship from sinking, the pounding continued into the night. At first light the crew began moving ashore in the surviving boats, successfully saving the entire crew, as well as the charts and papers of the expedition by the evening of the 19th. Heavy tides battered the sloop to pieces that night and the following morning, as put by Captain William L. Hudson, "... all that was seen of the poor Peacock, that had carried us safely through so many hazards for the last three years, was the cap of her bowsprit, and very soon after that disappeared."

VALLI: congatec was incorporated in December of 2004 and currently employs 142 people around the world. Corporate headquarters are located in Deggendorf, Germany. We have subsidiaries in the U.S., Taiwan, Czech Republic, Japan, and Australia, and sales offices in London, Paris, Stockholm, and Tel Aviv. We also have main design centers in Deggendorf, Germany; Plzen and Brno, Czech Republic; and Boca Raton, Florida.
congatec supplies industrial COMs using the standard form factors Qseven, COM Express, XTX, and ETX. Our products can be used in a variety of industries and applications, such as industrial automation, medical technology, military, aerospace, transportation, test and measurement, and communications. Core knowledge focuses on unique extended BIOS features as well as comprehensive driver and board support packages. Following the design-in phase, customers are given product lifecycle management support. Our 2012 corporate-wide revenue was $80M.
Why did you choose to design COM-based products versus another small form factor architecture?
VALLI: When compared to monolithic processor boards, COMs are the typical first choice when the platform requires special hardware functions. These functions can be dedicated interfaces and interface location, special power supplies, or simply a special mechanical shape to properly fit the final system design. Special requirements like these can only be matched by creating a ground-up custom design or by utilizing a semi-custom design that includes a COM for the standard PC functions and a custom carrier board to address the special required functions. In most cases, a full custom design does not make sense when you take into account the time and money needed to complete it. A COM can reduce the amount of time from roughly 12 to 18 months down to 6 months. This obviously saves a lot of development dollars as well. That being said, there is a threshold where a custom design does not make sense. That threshold often tends to be around 50,000 units per year.
We focus on COM form factors because they lend themselves to becoming candidates in many more applications and opportunities than simpler, high-volume monolithic boards. There is more engineer-to-engineer interfacing happening overall when a COM is being deployed in an OEM product. This allows for a tighter partnership between supplier and customer and removes a certain degree of "commodity effect" from the product.
How do COMs match up to other form factors when it comes to achieving the reliability needed for industrial automation?
VALLI: COMs are designed and tested for extreme environments. Most Mini-ITX boards are designed for friendly environment office applications and are never tested for shock, vibration, or extended temperatures. Most motherboards are commodity-based solutions that do not emphasize lifecycle management and a focus on industrial computing. COM designs offer availablity of a minimum of seven years. Component selection is focused on this as well as the industrial nature of the COM. The quality of the design is certainly more industrial. We test every new COM to temperature extremes, which are much broader than standard operating temperature ranges. We have a number of modules that operate in the -40 ˚C to +85 ˚C range, which makes them suitable candidates for the harshest of operating environments.
Ultimately, the best industrial automation system needs to be based on the best components utilized with the best practices. COMs are industry standards that are focused on industrial environments, long lifecycles, and minimal changes. All of these attributes contribute to reliability for the OEM.
How does congatec assure reliability for its industrial spec-rated COMs?
VALLI: congatec leverages the claims and specifications from silicon providers as its starting point for rating the operating temperatures of its modules. When an extended-temperature-range silicon platform is offered by the likes of Intel, Freescale, AMD, etc., we take steps to ensure that its COM offering operates in the same environment range.
A common definition of extended temperature range is -40 ˚C to +85 ˚C. When this is the case, we use a PCB that is designed for this range and all populated components are specified to meet or exceed that temperature range. Our design verification testing takes the operating temperatures beyond this range. The tests are performed at both tolerances of the specified supply voltages (this is 11.4 V and 12.6 V for COM Express modules) during a full functional test of all available interfaces.
In addition, we focus heavily on offering innovative cooling solutions for our COM products. One example is a patented heat-pipe cooling solution that utilizes flat, fluid-filled pipes within the cooling solution. This design significantly helps to improve the heat dissipation from the module and reduces the chance of any shutdowns or clockdowns in the silicon due to overheating. Lab tests comparing a classic cooling approach (phase change foil + copper block + gap filler + heat spreader) to the congatec patented heat-pipe based solution (phase change foil + copper block + flat heat pipe + heat spreader) showed a temperature improvement of 14 °C. Taking into account the 5 °C improved die temperature can double the MTBF of a silicon component. The change to heat-pipe based cooling can improve the MTBF – a measure of reliability – up to 8x.
How have the technical demands increased for COMs used in industrial automation in the past five years?
VALLI: There have been a number of distinct technical improvements that have occurred, or at least begun to be taken advantage of, in the past five years or so. For one, we now have multicore silicon found on the long-term embedded road maps from silicon providers. Many applications in the embedded space, including industrial automation, are taking advantage here and writing new code for optimization. AMD has been offering Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) whereby designers can take the General-Purpose Graphics Processor Units (GPGPUs) and use them as a CPU. With the proper coding, this changes the game for what can be done with less, especially when you think of less as lower power, smaller size, and lower cost.
Industrial automation systems are more highly connected and more sophisticated than ever before. PLCs and HMIs have historically consisted of separate boxes, connected by a communication interface – typically Ethernet or a real-time capable implementation of Ethernet. With today's multicore technologies it's more common to use virtualization for industrial automation solutions. One set of hardware is enough. PLC and HMI systems are both operated by one CPU. Using real-time virtualization, one core of the chip is completely isolated to run the PLC based on a real-time operating system. Some of the other cores (typically two) are allocated for the Windows- or Linux-based HMI. The remaining fourth core from a quad-core CPU is used as a firewall to ensure data security. All of this does not require a rewrite to existing software because the use of multicore is controlled by the real-time hypervisor, which partitions the CPUs and also the attached I/Os to aviod conflicts between the different operating systems. Communication between the separated applications happens – as in the past – by virtual Ethernet ports.
How will industrial COMs need to evolve in the coming five years?
VALLI: A continued increase in connectivity is the first thing that comes to mind. Most of us have heard of the "Internet of Things" and "intelligent systems." This means that industrial automation systems will become more and more intelligent and capable. Just think of the trajectory that something like the connected home is on. That trajectory of the technology is evident in many vertical markets for embedded computers today. In order for COMs to keep up, they will need to evolve with the I/O and buses being developed and implemented by the silicon providers. It is standard today to see 8 USB ports supported by COM Express modules. That is not something that was relevant 10 years ago. In addition, security features such as the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) will continue to be more important for COM users.
What are the challenges your industrial automation customers are facing now? How are you meeting these challenges?
VALLI: On the technical side it is often power draw and physical size. If you look today, one of the smallest proven COM form factors is Qseven. At 70 mm x 70 mm it is quite small. There was recently an update to the Qseven specification that calls out a version that is 40 mm x 70 mm. Today this form factor is small, but as silicon continues to get smaller and more integrated, we will continue to see a drive to make smaller COMs. This parallels what a number of industrial automation companies are experiencing. They want small form factors at the system level, that draw as low an amount of power as possible and are as inexpensive as possible.
For COMs suppliers the challenge is always to create the most power-efficient solution. This is not just selecting the best CPUs; it also requires a careful design of the required DC/DC converters. Saving power consumption lowers the cost of ownership for industrial machines by saving electricity. Even a few watts can make a difference in the long term to the overall cost of the system. Add in the fact that some devices are battery driven and the hairs are split even further.

The Institute for Supply Management's (ISM) primary manufacturing gauge just posted its strongest reading in 14 years. Is that a clear signal the economic cycle still has fuel left in its tank, or could it mean the good times are coming to an end?
As shown in LPL's Chart of the Day, strong manufacturing growth has been a bellwether for overall economic health. Over its past five cycles, the U.S. economy has fallen into a recession an average of 46 months—nearly 4 years—after ISM's U.S. Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) peaked. The fact that we may have hit a peak is not necessarily a cause for investor concern, and the potential for future economic and market growth remains strong in our view.
Growth in manufacturing output last month was primarily driven by domestic demand. ISM's gauge of new orders jumped the most since August 2014, while export orders fell to a 10-month low and import orders dropped to an 11-month low.
Some data do hint to potential weakness and pricing pressures. Details in the ISM report point to continuing supply chain disruptions, or difficulties for manufacturers in getting the supplies necessary to produce goods. Manufacturing may be especially susceptible to future weakness from trade tensions, and cooling in trade activity is already evident in the divergence between domestic and international orders.
However, we believe the tailwind of fiscal stimulus will continue to overwhelm any negative impact from trade tensions and supply chain disruptions, buoying manufacturing and strong economic output through the end of this year.
For more analysis on the state of manufacturing, check out the latest Weekly Economic Commentary. The ISM PMI gauge also is one of the measures we monitor in our Recession Watch Dashboard, updated quarterly on the House of Charts.

Palaeontologists have found a near complete skeleton of a new member of the bird-like dinosaur family Dromaeosauridae, reports the latest issue of the journal Zootaxa. It is hoped this species from Inner Mongolia, which is a close relative of the popularly known Velociraptor, will shed light on the physical appearance of other members of its family.
The dinosaur, which has been named Linheraptor exquisitus, was discovered by George Washington University doctoral candidate Jonah Choiniere, and University College London graduate Michael D. Pittman, in 2008.
"I only saw the tip of the claw sticking out of a cliff face, and it was a total surprise that the whole skeleton was buried deeper in the rock," said Choiniere.
The researchers believe that Linheraptor, which was about eight feet long, was most likely an agile predator, which used the curved claws of its feet to ensnare its prey. The find was unearthed in 2008, among red sandstone beds which were deposited in the late cretaceous, 75 million years ago.
Linheraptor will be the fifth dromaeosaurid to be found hidden within these rocks, which are noted for their exceptional preservation potential.
"This is a really beautiful fossil and it documents a transitional stage in dromaeosaurid evolution," said Xu Xing, who is heading the study at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology.

Family, Friends Say Final Goodbye to 7-Year-Old Jazmine Barnes
Mayor Sylvester Turner proclaimed Tuesday as Jazmine Barnes Day in Houston
Published January 8, 2019 • Updated on January 8, 2019 at 3:52 pm
A memorial service was held Tuesday for a 7-year-old black Houston girl who was killed in a drive-by shooting that investigators say appears to be a case of mistaken identity.
Family, friends and community members said their final goodbyes to Jazmine Barnes, a loving and caring girl who was "very smart in school," according to her father, Christopher Cevilla.
During the morning viewing at Community of Faith Church, mourners filed past Jazmine's open casket, which was adorned with pink hearts and the words "Princess Jazmine," CNN reported.
Jazmine's mother, LaPorsha Washington, opened the funeral services by thanking the community for their support before reading an letter "from Jazmine" that was penned by an aunt.
"I'm writing this from heaven where I dwell with God above. Where there are no more tears, pains or sadness, it's just eternal love," Washington read. "Do not be sad just because I'm outside of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night."
Other speakers included Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee and Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, whose office is investigating the shooting. Turner proclaimed Tuesday as Jazmine Barnes Day in Houston. The mayor, who established last year a commission to look at ways to end gun violence, said the second-grader's death is personal.
"We've got to work extra hard to do what we can to save all of our children so they can live their lives," Turner said.

Former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal and a Houston police officer gave Jazmine's family a check to help pay for funeral expenses.
Students in the Sheldon Independent School District were urged to wear purple to honor the Monahan Elementary second-grader, according to NBC affiliate KPRC-TV. The school will also have counselors available for students and staff, the station reported.
A prosecutor on Monday said two men suspected in the Dec. 30 drive-by shooting that killed Jazmine and was initially investigated as a possible hate crime mistakenly thought they were attacking people whom they had fought with at a club hours earlier. Both suspects are black.
One of the men, 20-year-old Eric Black Jr., appeared in court Monday on a capital murder charge. Black was arrested Saturday during a traffic stop. Prosecutors allege that he told investigators he was driving the SUV from which an unidentified passenger fired at Barnes, her three sisters and mother as they were on their way to a grocery store.
Authorities have declined to name the suspected shooter or say whether he has been arrested, but Gonzalez said he is also black.
Based on the family's account of what happened, authorities initially believed that a white man in a red pickup truck was behind the attack. But they later received a tip that sent the case in a new direction from Shaun King, a civil rights activist who writes about racial issues and has a large social media following. The tip implicated two black men in the shooting.
Gonzalez said there was, in fact, a red pickup truck driven by a white man seen at a stoplight just before the shooting, but the driver didn't appear to have been involved. The sheriff said it was dark, the shooting happened quickly, and the red truck was probably the last thing seen by Jazmine's family.
LaPorsha Washington told reporters at a news conference after the shooting that she "didn't see anything but shattered glass and bullets coming toward my car." Washington was hit by gunfire in her arm. Jazmine was shot in the head and died at the scene.
Gonzalez said authorities believe Jazmine's family has been truthful during the investigation.
Throughout the investigation, Gonzalez stressed that he and his investigators would not stop working on behalf of Jazmine, and activists and elected officials praised him and other investigators for their efforts.
Deric Muhammad, an organizer of a rally that took place on Saturday in Houston to demand "Justice for Jazmine," commended Gonzalez for working with the community to collect evidence that led to Black's arrest.
"We are still heartbroken at the thought of a 7-year-old innocent child losing her life in such a violent way," Muhammad said in a statement. "We are no less heartbroken that those person(s) currently charged with this homicide are Black; not White."
James Dixon, a prominent pastor in Houston, also thanked Gonzalez for working around the clock in the investigation.
"We are blessed in this city to have the kind of collegial relationships between pastors and law enforcement and elected officials where we all really work together, we cry together, we pray together, we serve together and sacrifice together. In moments like these, we come together in order to mend and heal broken hearts," Dixon said.

In this post, I will explain my markings and notations on the filled-in worksheet, which you can download below. You don't have to do everything the same way I did. In fact, most will opt for a simpler method. I just wanted to illustrate the potential for personalized ways of using the worksheet.
Under What sessions did he speak in?, rather than simply check the box, I indicated what order they spoke in. An apostrophe after the number means they were the last speaker of that session. The 'C' in Elders Eyring and Uchtdorf's rows indicate that they conducted. The 'sus' means he read the sustainings that are always done on Saturday afternoon.
Sometimes you'll see a pattern and be tempted to conclude it's a consistent rule across all general conferences, when in fact it's just chance. For example, you'll notice that in every session on this example worksheet, if you look at all those who speak (leaving out the first speaker), the last speaker was always the highest ranking of them. For example, on Saturday morning, Elders Monson, Packer, Oaks, and Eyring spoke. Ignoring the opening speaker (President Monson), of the remaining three, Elder Eyring ranks highest (in authority; Elder Packer ranks highest in seniority), so he spoke last. I've heard before that this is standard procedure, in part because it gives leaders a chance to correct any erroneous statements from speakers who preceded them.
All you have to do to test this hypothesis is look at the speaker line-up for other general conferences. In this case, however, when you check, you'll find that the hypothesis doesn't hold water. For example, in the April 2015 conference Saturday morning session, Elder Perry spoke last, but President Packer spoke earlier (second). And in the Saturday afternoon session, Elder Cook spoke last, but Elders Bednar and Christofferson spoke earlier. So the idea that the last speaker is always highest-ranking is simply wrong.
I'll admit to being guilty of occasionally passing on something like this without fact-checking first. This one is a pretty harmless "faith-promoting rumor," but it's a reminder that we should always check our facts before subscribing to or repeating such rumors, especially in cases like this when it's so easy to verify.
Under What was the talk about? and What will I do about it?, I drew horizontal lines to sudivide a speaker's box if they spoke more than once. As you can see on President Monson's row, since he usually speaks multiple times, there's not much room to take notes. That means that if I ever redesign the sheet, I should make a larger space for the president of the Church.
On the reverse side, under What sessions did they speak in?, you'll notice that the numbers always go in order, and always move right as you go down. That's just the natural result of how this sheet is filled as you go, in contrast to the front side, where the speakers are already known beforehand and placed in order of seniority, not order of speaking.
Under What organization are they in?, where possible, I included the speaker's calling or position. 'Q1' means first quorum (of the Seventy). 'P' means president. 'C1' and 'C2' mean first and second counselor. 'rr' means 'Recently Released,' when they have someone speak for the last time even though they were released earlier in the conference (like with Julie B. Beck). Having these little facts arranged in a table allows you to quickly look for any data you're interested in, such as how many women spoke (two), or whether they always have at least one speaker from every organization (no). As I've noted before, this kind of stuff is trivial and not really important for being edified by conference. I include it just because I've noticed that sometimes you need a smidgin of brainless, fluffy busy work to crank your engine and get your brain running. If it helps you begin paying attention, use it. If it doesn't, ignore it.
Notice that I did not fill in every box under What was the talk about? and What will I do about it? There's no need to come up with something to write in the box, just to have something there. If you weren't particularly struck with any ideas, it's OK to leave things blank. In a way, leaving blank boxes highlights the filled-in boxes and helps you see more clearly when your inspiration was coming. That said, sometimes it's good to jot an obligatory note or two even when you're not feeling specifically moved to, because it helps you maintain your attention and get the revelatory juices flowing.
Do any of these notation ideas seem particularly relevant or useful to you? Which do not? What other notation methods have you used in your general conference note-taking?
Is there a way to print these.
Yes. It depends on whether you're using PC or Mac, and which browser, but generally once you have it open on your screen, hover your mouse cursor over it or click on it it, and you should see a print button visible.

Dem Darn Debates, The Third
Dallas Taylor 2020 Election, Op-Ed, politics, Primary/Caucus September 13, 2019 December 5, 2019 6 Minutes
Start with the obvious: this was a much better debate than the previous two. First, because a bunch of also-rans didn't qualify, so we didn't get to hear John Delaney talk for half an hour about what we really can't do and shouldn't fight for or watch Seth Moulton deny in real time that he's not as cool or popular as his handlers tell him he is. Second, the moderators took a page from Chuck Todd's book and burned it and did not insert themselves into the debate, save to ask clearly-researched, candidate-specific questions (except the first one: George Stephanopoulos' invitation to Joe Biden to throw some 'bows about health care and doing his damnedest to get the Republicans a sound-bite saying middle-class taxes would go up). Third, they actually touched a little on things like foreign policy and trade, which a President has a whole hell of a lot more to do with than health care, which is properly the concern of Congress, God help us all.
If you thought those three hours went by fast, you were right, because it was only two hours and forty-five minutes. That said, it was a good deal more substantive and, well, debate-like than these things often are.
So, how'd everyone do?
I'll start with Elizabeth Warren, because she's my favorite and, despite the current poll ratings, the one to beat, in my mind. She did, as ever she does, a good job staying above the fray and sticking to making a positive case for what she wants to do (clean up corruption and save democracy and the world!) and tell the very good story about why she wants to do it. She had some standout moments, though they don't seem to have been picked up on, being more substantive than flashy. I'm talking about her line about not tasking the military to solve problems that can't be solved militarily and her suggestion that we leverage the power of access to US markets to make other countries up their game when it comes to environmental and labor practices. Like so much else in her campaign, it's both sensible and radical, and one of the reasons I support her for President.
Bernie Sanders was Bernie Sanders, albeit hoarser than usual. He's a visionary, and we all owe him a great debt for mainstreaming a worldview and policy platform sorely lacking in our nation's politics. But at this point he's halfway to animatronic: when it's his turn to speak, he comes alive and does the Bernie schtick credibly; when it's not, he seems to power down and not pay much attention to what's going on around him. To be honest, he and Joe Biden (about whom more anon) sounded like a couple of old friends hollering at each other at the rest home commissary. But it was sweet how he leaned over to comfort his old buddy a few times when the slings and arrows got thick.
Joe Biden… well, let's say I'm a bit baffled by everyone who thinks he did well. I mean, if you're grading on a curve, sure. But we don't — or at least shouldn't — be grading Presidential candidates on a curve. George W. Bush should have taught us that, if nothing else. I mean, he took Stephanopoulos' bait to swing at Warren and Sanders with the first question, which was not smart, because it's not typically a good idea to go negative and throw elbows when you're ahead. But worse, much worse, than that, was the obvious cognitive decline over the course of the night, with answers that became less coherent and focused on the question he'd been asked as the night went on. The pivot to Venezuela twenty minutes after the discussion moved on was bad enough. By the time we'd got to the end, and he was asked about resilience in the face of a setback, he was in full-on word salad mode. I despair of the choice, in 2020, between two Boomers in the grip of cognitive decline shouting at each other, and though I'd vote Biden over Trump in a heartbeat if that's the choice, I'll be looking closely at his VP pick and counting the days til the 25th Amendment's invoked.
Kamala Harris had a decent night. She came across as more human than previous, and I thought her humor and subtle code-switching both played well, though the pundits have largely panned them. I thought she made a good strategic choice in holding her fire on Biden (who'll sink himself) and aiming her rhetoric at Trump. I think her answer about deciding to make change from the inside was about the best she was going to do, but it's still not that great, though I appreciate that she admitted she could have done more as CA AG.
Beto O'Rourke had a great night. Ever since El Paso, he's found some moral clarity and does not give a fuck who knows it. Good for him, and I'm glad he's got there. It's certainly given him some much-needed gravitas. But I don't think it moves the needle in his favor much, and I do hope he reconsiders a Senate run against Cornyn, who's both less popular in Texas than Cruz and the number two guy in the Republican Senate caucus. That'd be a hell of a scalp to hang on your wall, and it's a nomination he could actually win and do some good with.
Julian Castro also had a memorable night, though I'm still trying to figure out his end-game. I've been mostly convinced he's actually running for VP, and still am (VP candidates are usually attack dogs on the trail). Either that, or he's realized his campaign is going nowhere, so he decided to do us all a solid and bleed Joe Biden out some on national TV. That the punditariat finds his actions so objectionable will, in my opinion, only make him more popular, at least among progressives, and I think if he succeeds in torpedoing Biden we will all owe him a debt of gratitude, which, given the state of our world and our politics, will likely not be repaid. But who knows?
Pete Buttigieg continues to baffle me. I'm still not sure why he's running, nor what he stands for. He's like a Boomer's notion of the ideal Millennial, and I have a lot of trouble trusting him (I also wonder if he isn't really running for VP, since he's probably got as far as he's going to get, politically, in his home state of Indiana). That said, he had a couple good lines, and his coming out story was genuinely moving and, let's not forget, historic as fuck. So good for him on that.
Corey Booker turned in a fine performance, as ever he does. I think he'd be great to grab a beer with, as the old saying goes, and I do appreciate his perspective and geniality. But aside from ambition, I'm also not sure why he's in the race, nor what he brings to the table someone else doesn't. I feel like, in an alternate timeline where Al Gore won in 2000, Corey Booker would be an excellent candidate for President. But we are in a much darker timeline, and he just doesn't come across as a wartime consigliere, if you know what I mean.
Amy Klobuchar did a decent enough job setting herself up as the centrist alternative should Joe Biden flame out. Given her goals, I think she did as well as she was going to. The problem for me is her whole campaign rationale is a non-starter. Her thing is she's a centrist from the Midwest and, as such, she can, somehow, unify the country and, idk, bring the Reagan Democrats back into the fold. The problem is we can't unify the country. Obama tried and tried and tried again, til way past the point he should have learned better, and got his ass handed to him over and over and over again. Because the Republicans and the 'christian' white supremacists and parasite oligarchs they represent are never gonna unify with any Democrat, because they are traitors who care only about themselves and their own advancement. Why else did they let the Russians ratfuck our election in 2016?
And Andrew Yang? I want to like him, because I'm a big believer in a Universal Basic Income, which seems to me both moral and pragmatic. But he's supposed to be a single-issue candidate focused on that. Aside from his possibly illegal stunt at the beginning of the debate with the UBI sweepstakes his campaign is running, he was largely silent on the topic. Like he's trying to run a real candidacy. Which is fine, I guess, but he's out of his league and, let's face it, I don't want him in the White House.
All that said, overall I thought it was a good, substantive debate if you like that sort of thing, which I do. Will it move any numbers? Hard to say. In a just world, we'd all come to our senses about Joe Biden (which would make things much more interesting than they currently are), but the punditariat seems pretty invested in propping him up, so we'll see how they judge between the narrative they're so attached to and the evidence of their eyes and ears. Myself, I can't wait til the herd thins even more. But I doubt that'll happen before Iowa.

K McVere LLC says:
I wasn't able to watch the debate. Work. Thank you for your insights into what went down. I agree with you on many of the candidates. My only quibble – Bernie. He's tough and smart. A lot tougher and smarter than Biden. Here's to 2020 and getting a sane person in charge of our country.


Cocktail Kitchen, a specialist cocktail bar that opened its doors earlier this year in Jumeirah Lakes Tower, stands apart from the typical glamorous Dubai scene as it is a destination that puts social experience at the heart of its design, layout and its hospitality.
In designing the project architects Jonathan Ashmore from the UAE-based practice Anarchitect and Tarik Zaharna from T.ZED Architects, have focused on creating a sequence of spaces over 500 sq m that maximise social interaction as part of the overall experience.
According to the designers, it was important to create a journey and narrative embedded in the project that continually intrigues and invites guests back to engage and enjoy these experiences in a relaxed and beautifully crafted environment.
Cocktail Kitchen ... American red oak encloses the 'outdoor' dining area.
At its essence, Cocktail Kitchen has been playful, individual, social and entertaining. But behind all of this lies a passion to instil something that will last and to seed a social culture where regulars, visitors, and new and old faces come to enjoy the environment that has been created and continues to evolve organically. As such, the attention to detail in Cocktail Kitchen extends beyond the attention to craft and material details.
According to Ashmore, the refined material palette is made up of three core elements – stone, metal and wood. "Each in itself respectively represents solidity, precision and nature and when combined they create a superlative refinement and playfulness in the project. The continuity of these core material elements throughout the spaces is intrinsic to the project's subtlety and character," he says.
On one side of the 15-m-long white quartz bar, sits the Martini Bar. A feature piece in itself, this area offers a social experience where the mixologist is able to showcase his craft while engaging an audience looking to socialise while experimenting with cocktails on offer. The Martini Bar area is also a second landing space into Cocktail Kitchen for those who are in-the-know and have accessed the venue from the second, discrete entrance.
Cocktail Kitchen ... relaxed and beautifully crafted environment.
An enclosed 'outdoor' dining area is created by using 2.8-m-high natural American red oak slats to create a boundary wall. A 500-mm gap between the soffit and the red oak slats allows for natural light to enter deep into the interior dining space. While offering privacy, and obstructing visibility from outside the venue, the red oak interlock slats recreate the feeling of being outdoors. The natural more reddish colour of the red oak brightens the 'outdoor' dining area.
"Users will need to look closely to notice that this outdoor area is, in fact, closed indoor and temperature cooled," Zaharna emphasises.
While American white oak is used internally, American red oak was used on the outdoor countertops as well as the boundary wall to provide a more natural light glow and to also provide a focal point while standing inside the venue. Externally, the red oak boundary wall will receive most visibility and, therefore, needed to stand out from its context. The letters 'Cocktail Kitchen' in copper are mounted externally and back-lit on the red oak slats. During the day, the venue logo, as well as the timber slats, almost match in colour, while at night the logo stands out and an interesting backdrop is provided due to the red oak slats.
"It is important to be relevant in architecture and to critically interpret the brief and anticipate how people will respond and interact with spaces and programmes whilst the project is still only an idea. The client's brief required us to induce the notion of feeling 'at home' by allowing for different levels of privacy and programme to occur. To achieve this through design, the process had to be openly collaborative between client, contractor, consultant and supplier. Each equally important, each was able to significantly contribute to the original vision of the project to realise the space and its potential," concludes Zaharna.


Contained in this highly visual monogram is every existing piece of art work created by CJ Robinson between the years 1991 and 2000, with descriptions of some of the "things that were lost along the way". Packed with collage, paintings, life drawings, sculptures, it shows the development of Robinson as an artist from the age of eighteen, when he first went to art college, up to the age of twenty seven, and the start of the new millennium. It is the first in an ongoing series that aims to archive all of Robinson's artistic output.
My work blurs the boundaries between literature and visual art. Over the years I have produced collage, texts, books, sound pieces, projections and 'found narratives'. In 2009 I obtained a Masters Degree in Fine Art from the University of the West of England where I gained a Distinction. Since then I have self-published several book works most of which are available here on blurb. My books are also available in a number of book shops including the Book Art Book Shop in London. I have book works held in the collections of the Centre for Fine Print Research in Bristol, the Tate library in Tate Britain, University College London, and the Baltic in Gateshead. In 2012 I contributed a work to the al-Mutanabbi Street project, an international touring exhibition of book artists which will eventually find a permanent home in the Iraqi National Library. And in 2014 I participated in an exhibition of UK & Russian book artists held in Moscow.

Sophia Anne Caruso's Best Advice for Other Young Actors
By Allie Volpe | May. 23, 2019, 01:00 PM
Photo Source: Nathan Arizona
At just 17 years old, Sophia Anne Caruso has an enviable theater résumé. After starring in a number of productions in her hometown of Spokane, Washington, Caruso relocated to New York City, where she appeared in the Off-Broadway play "The Nether" and David Bowie's "Lazarus" at New York Theatre Workshop, then made her Broadway debut in 2016's "Blackbird." Now, she stars as the Winona Ryder–originated Lydia Deetz in Broadway's eight-time Tony-nominated "Beetlejuice."
How did you first get your Equity card?
I got my Equity card on the first project I did in New York. That was the first time I was eligible, and I decided to become [an] Actors' Equity [Association member]. It was just a reading of something. It's been so long I forget the details. That was about eight years ago.
Who is the casting director who gave you your big break?
Bernie Telsey. He is, in my opinion, one of the best casting directors, especially in New York. He gave me my first job in New York, and his company has supplied me with a great percentage of my jobs.
What's the wildest thing you ever did to get a role?
It's not necessarily about impressing the casting director, it's about work ethic and working hard. You should always show up to your auditions prepared and ready. I've taken planes to go for callbacks and taken trains while I'm still in performances for something else. A strong work ethic is the most impressive quality one can have. I do crazy things to get myself the job, like doing a two-show day and traveling at night to do a callback in the morning, and then coming back for either rehearsal or another show that night. It's about fitting it in and pushing yourself to your limit.
What performance should every actor see and why?
There are so many! I can't pick one. In general, actors and artists should see every kind of theater. You should see the good, the bad, [and] the in-between, because there's something to learn from everything you watch, no matter what it is. I would say remain curious and that curiosity will help you. I read a lot, too. Reading good plays and bad plays helps you evaluate a script and decide if it's a good project and if it's right for you. I read every day. I'm currently reading "The Empath's Survival Guide," which is really interesting. I read a lot of books on psychology and self-help. I love poetry a lot, I love short stories. I love plays. I read everything. I write poetry, too.
How did you land your first agent?
When it comes to agents, you want to find someone who works well with you. If you're a person for whom communication is important, you want to make sure that you get somebody who communicates well. Agents and managers, they're very specific and individualized. You have to find someone you work well with. I had been with different agents over the years, and WME had wanted me for a long time. As soon as my time was up with my other agents, they actively pursued me. I think that somebody who has a lot of interest in you and wants to work for you, that's what really drew me to WME. Their commitment and their drive to get me as a client.
READ: How to Get an Acting Agent
I would say, "Don't beat yourself up so much." But at the same time, my self-critical personality and need and willingness to improve has gotten me where I am. Growing up, it caused self-hatred. I would [tell myself] to have a work ethic and know when you can improve, but don't let silly commentary and other things make you hate yourself, because you're all you've got and you have to take care of that. Find the balance between a willingness to improve and taking criticism and self-hatred; being able to take criticism without it wearing you down.

We know that BMW is working on a new gesture control system that will allow the driver to control some of the features in the vehicle using gestures. The new system will be called Airtouch and some believe that we might actually see it with the upcoming BMW 7 Series.
The Airtouch gesture system will be on display next month at CES along with the new Vision Car from BMW. The gesture control will come with 3D sensors so that it will be able to read flat hand movements.
The system will allow the driver to control features like navigation, communication and entertainment with gestures although it won't be the only control it will have. There will still be button controls for those that do not want to use the gesture system.
There is still no details on when the new Airtouch system will be available but we might know more at the CES when BMW put the Vision car and the Airtouch on display.

Procurement as Policy: Administrative Process for Machine Learning
205 South Hall
Deirdre Mulligan
At every level of government, officials contract for technical systems that employ machine learning — systems that perform tasks without using explicit instructions, relying on patterns and inference instead. These systems frequently displace discretion previously exercised by policymakers or individual front-end government employees with an opaque logic that bears no resemblance to the reasoning processes of agency personnel. However, because agencies acquire these systems through government procurement processes, they and the public have little input into — or even knowledge about — their design or how well that design aligns with public goals and values.
This talk explains the ways that the decisions about goals, values, risk, certainty, and the elimination of case-by-case discretion inherent in machine-learning system design make policy — not just once when they are designed, but over time as they adapt and change. When the adoption of these systems is governed by procurement, the policies they embed receive little or no agency or outside expertise beyond that provided by the vendor. There is no public participation, no reasoned deliberation, and no factual record. Design decisions are left to private third-party developers. Government responsibility for policymaking is abdicated.
I argue for a move from a procurement mindset to policymaking mindset. When policy decisions are made through system design, processes suitable for substantive administrative determinations should be used: processes that foster deliberation reflecting both technocratic demands for reason and rationality informed by expertise, and democratic demands for public participation and political accountability. Specifically, I propose administrative law as the framework to guide the adoption of machine learning governance, describing specific ways that the policy choices embedded in machine learning system design fail the prohibition against arbitrary and capricious agency action absent a reasoned decisionmaking process that both enlists the expertise necessary for reasoned deliberation about, and justification for, such choices, and makes visible the political choices being made.
Finally, I sketch models for machine learning adoption processes that satisfy the prohibition against arbitrary and capricious actions. I explore processes by which agencies might garner technical expertise and overcome problems of system opacity, satisfying administrative law's technocratic demand for reasoned expert deliberation. I further propose both institutional and engineering design solutions to the challenge of policymaking opacity, offering both process paradigms to ensure the "political visibility" required for public input and political oversight. In doing so, I also propose the importance of using "contestable design" — design that exposes value-laden features and parameters, and provides for iterative human involvement in system evolution and deployment. Together, these institutional and design approaches further both administrative law's technocratic and democratic mandates.

As the title may suggest, this is actually not meant to sound completely crazy.
You want your employees to be whistleblowers.
Yes you do, trust us!
Because they're the people who see things happen!
Or know about something that could happen.
You're not doing your due diligence on hiring honest and hard working employees, only to have them turn a blind eye to questionable practices happening behind your back.
You expect your honest to goodness, hard working employees to speak up about unethical activities.
After all, you don't work hard everyday for nothing!
Neither are your hard working employees giving it their all for the company to land in legal troubles and put their jobs on the line.
You expect to see employees taking initiative and being accountable.
Okay, so how the heck do you make whistleblowers out of employees?
Well first you've got to make them see whistleblowing isn't a bad thing.
This starts with tone and messaging right from the top that includes very serious 'no retaliation' assurances.
That's right. Employees need to hear it in very clear and meaningful terms - see something, say something!
If they cringe at the very word whistleblowing, then call it speaking up about what could harm the company. And how not speaking up could really harm the company.
Tell them they can be completely anonymous when they speak up via the anonymous reporting hotline.
Don't have an anonymous reporting hotline? Download a free eBook to learn why your company needs one.
The point is, employees need to be clear that speaking up about wrongdoing is part of the company culture, fully endorsed by management.
You've hired professional people to work in, and represent, your company. Your professional people need to do the right thing and challenge any behaviour that they perceive as falling short of the company code of ethics.
Whistleblowing is an early warning system for misconduct, wrongdoing or dangerous behaviours.
This early warning system is documented in the ACFEs 2018 Report to the Nations. Globally, whistleblower tips account for 40% of reported misconduct.
Legislation forces many companies to put whistlebower programs into place. But how a company uses the program determines whether it will be successful or not.
The next piece of advice that will help make your employees into whistleblowers is to investigate all complaints to determine whether they warrant further investigation or not.
Nothing says we're not really serious about employees speaking up than completely ignoring those employees who do, and doing nothing about their concerns.
Guard against retaliation and ensure employees feel confident that they will be supported for raising concerns about workplace misconduct and not end up in trouble for doing the right thing.
Promote your whistleblower program by training employees regularly about the very fact that it's there, and how to use it.
Contact us to learn more about how encouraging employees to speak up helps build an ethical culture, and confident whistleblowers!

Q: Get Maximum String How would I get the file with the maximum date?
BACKUP-20220114.BAK
BACKUP-20220118.BAK
BACKUP-20220120.BAK

How would I select the file with the largest date value?
I tried just finding the maximum string, but alas strings are not compared that way in powershell.
ls BACKUP* | select-object -Property Name | Measure-Object -Maximum
Measure-Object : Cannot compare "@{Name=BACKUP-20221028.bak}" because it is not IComparable.

How do I imbue the string with an IComparable?

A: As per my comment.

Few years back when I was running a startup accelerator with 10 startups every year, we had more than 70 mentors and investors who had regular interactions with the startups.When we first started, we realised that creating a system that connects 70 mentors to 5 startups can get pretty messy. In fact, it was messy.
We had complaints from both the sides – investors complained that they don't get any updates from the startups and worse, startups complained that the mentors not helping at all.
Initially, we tried organising coffee meetups and monthly dinners. It worked to fix the relationships between the mentors and startups. But still, the mentors who were busier (and more often than not, they were more connected) didn't get a chance to help the startups.
Subsequently, we created a simple system to update the investors and mentors. We did a couple of things right, and many others wrong — but somehow the system worked. A major factor that contributed to the system's effectiveness was that we had a robust way to update the investors about our portfolio companies.
I am constantly amazed how many early stage companies fail to do this. You can do all the validation tests and marketing campaigns to acquire tonnes of users, but the most underrated skill of a startup CEO is knowing how to keep your investors engaged and excited. Hence, for the first time ever, I am presenting the deck we used that takes 30 minutes to use.
No worries, just download this guide as a PDF, with editable file ready to use right away!
Why you should send your investors with regular updates than just meeting them a year once when you need to get your paperwork signed?
Updates are a way for the founders to stay accountable to their investors and it acts as a tool for the founders to reflect on their progress (or the lack of). When you are busy managing the daily grind of your business, the macro perspective will often escape your mind. Hence, sitting down to create these updates will make you more diligent about taking a step back to evaluate your growth and future management strategies.
You never know if your current startup might fail and you will end up doing another startup. It helps to show that you respect the investor's contribution to your business as investors rarely re-invest in an entrepreneur that they don't approve of.
Investors understand that you are doing your best to build the next biggest startup. It's obvious that they believe that you are fit for the job as they departed from their hard earned cash for your company. Hence, the least you can do is keep them in the loop and informed about what's going on with their investment. They shouldn't have to ask.
Early stage investors are well aware 99 out of 100 companies they invest will fail. They primary goal behind investing is to be involved in the fun of building a startup, not for huge returns. Hence, many investors love doing all sorts of 'favours' for their portfolio companies. By including specific call to action in your updates, you might be able to get your investors to help you with some introduction to a potential customer or a future hire. I have seen startups who go as far as asking the investor to demo products, review slide decks and maybe even get the opinions on the resume of potential hires.
It's a huge pain to read a 10 pager document. Avoid them at all cost.
Use more charts and growth matrices than using lengthy words.
Send the updates on a monthly basis to keep it relevant and short.
Create a gmail group and mail the whole group. Most investors will only reply you (and not cc others). If they do reply all, just keep it that way as it helps to answer everyone. The rationale is that if one of them as a doubt, the others might have the same doubt as well.
Limit to the things that you feel important. Don't bore them with unnecessary information.
Your updates can go out to more than just your investors. Include your advisors, mentors, etc.
Of course, sharing wins feels good. Share the good and the bad as both of these are facts and helps the investors to advise you better, don't hide the ugly truths under the rug. Be pragmatic, transparent, and simple in your updates. Don't sugar coat anything.
The key is to have a working template. It saves time and allows your investors to get used to your template, hence, making them more likely to read and reply.
This is the dashboard that we advise our startups to use. It forces you to make everything concise as you don't have much space to work with and it's a single page long document.
The highlighted (green) part will be included in the email with the rest of the dashboard included as an attachment in your email.
Let's see an example of this dashboard made for an imaginary startup called Infinite Drive.
Lets look at every component of the template to get a depper understanding of it.
Most investors will have more than 20 companies in their portfolio, with some extreme ones (e.g. 500 startup) will have more than 1000+ in their portfolio. Hence, it helps to remind them of who are you and which funding/accelerator batch you belong to.
Most will not include this part, but it's a huge help for investors to be able to have the number and email of the founders in your update. If they need more info, and it's urgent, the will make a call directly to the relevant person.
It's also important to make sure that you attach your picture next to your name to make sure they can attach a face to the name. Most investors are not good with names, but they are better with faces. Hence, it helps to remind them who is in the core team of your startup. In the case you have more than 4 founders, just include the ones that are relevant for the current update. You can change this as you go along.
This is something that I learned from my time as investment banker. If you are making a report/update/dashboard, you must be able to capture the most vital parts of it in a 2 by 1 box.
The first box here will be used to update on your startup's most important number that you track. It should be your startup's true north and if you have no idea what number is this and the whole company is not updated with the progress of this number, you are probably way off track.
Most investors will opt to read this part and your ask (later — see below).
The budget update is very important for an early stage startup as investors are more concern of misspending and running out of cash. So, start with your runway, then report you revenue (if you are pre revenue, you can talk about the results of the monitization methods that you are testing out) and your fundraising timeline.
When you do an ask, make it as specific as possible and provide all the info needed for them to help you with it. Don't expect your (busy) investors to do the work of figuring out how to help you, instead tell them specifically how best to help you e.g. give them the specific link to share, the specific PDF intro deck to use for replies, etc.
The leaderboard is a way to gamify and motivate those who are helping you. Behaviourally, when an investor is named in the leaderboard, they will be more keen to help next time as it positions them as the 'helpful one' within their peer circle. This is awesome as most investors wouldn't like losing to the other investors.
Your updates are a great way to introduce any of your new hires. Most investor will send a welcome note to the new staff and will introduce themselves.
It will only be included in the attachment. Investors will only look at this if they believe that there is an issue with your startup or they are into details. You can list anything that you would like to report here. Just make sure that it's still concise and you are not including any vanity matrices.
This is an ask masked as a report. Here you can highlight any trend that you would like to get more insights from the investors. More of than not, most investors would advise on the strategies that you can employ. If you notice, I have included some clear asks here for advice. This is interesting for the investors as it makes them more involved in your startup.
The paying customer growth has slowed down to a single digit (7%). This was due to poor communication and work from our marketing head. Hence, we have hired a new marketing head that will be increasing our marketing efforts through social media and SEO.
We got multiple mentions from popular media such as TechCrunch, Mashable and TechinAsia. (brought in 73k visits within the last one week).
Our enterprise platform is on track for completion by end of August and we are running test runs with 2 partners now.
We have lost our startup promotion deal with Paypal since our total users number has gone beyond the 100k tier of the promotion. (increasing our monthly expenses by RM2k).
Cash situation: We have RM 0.8 million cash in hand, which translates to a runway till end of this year.
Fundraising timeline: We are a month away from raising a RM2.5mil series A round. The round should last us for another year and we are looking at US venture capitals for the funding.
The Asks (Thank You!) Our monthly requests, do let us know if you need more information to better help us.
Connect us to investors from Benchmark Capital as we be starting our fundraising round in August.
Anyone has any connections within Paypal that we can get in touch with to lower our merchant fees? Would you like to test run our enterprise platform?
Don't hesitate to reply if you need more clarification on anything. Thanks!
Don't delay, level up now!

Classroom Connections: New Village School
In Education, Teachers
"When we learned about Nainoa Thompson, the Hōkūleʻa crew and the mission of the Polynesian Voyaging Society, we knew we had found kindred souls…. Our school was grown to give opportunities to students to understand the past and the repercussions of behaviors that influence our present so they can navigate in a completely new way toward a future that has the agency to affect positively."
The New Village School in Sausalito, California reached out to the PVS Education Team and Network to find out how they could get involved in sharing and supporting the message of Hōkūleʻa and Mālama Honua in their school and community. We learned so much about their amazing school, and asked if we could share with all of you. Please read on for the story they shared with us, and check out the New Village School Blog to see what other inspiring things are happening at the school.
If you have a story you want to share of a School, Organization or Community that is doing their part to live the values of Mālama Honua, encourage them to contact our Ed Team at education@pvshawaii.org.
The New Village School, located in Sausalito, California is transforming education for children in the Bay Area. The New Village is more than a school; it's an extended family community that "cultivates an atmosphere in which children can remain inquisitive and are allowed to become deeply capable and responsible (http://tnvs.org)." The School community strives to create an environment where everyone feels safe to be vulnerable, honest and authentic (http://tnvs.org)." The New Village School is a place where all community members — faculty and staff, parents and students, — feel responsible for everyone's well-being and learn together. Children and adults engage in deep and meaningful relationships, and all the children Kindergarten through 8th grade interact in purposeful and intentional ways throughout the day. As a result, teachers are better able to help students in developing and flourishing as human beings.
The School's curriculum, inspired by the work of Rudolf Steiner, focuses on human development and meeting the needs of children who will grow up in a 21st century world. A very strong emphasis is placed on the relationships that exist within the school community, and how relationships can make learning truly meaningful. Students are encouraged to be and supported in becoming intrinsically motivated in their learning. Content is taught through integrated and interdisciplinary units and is embedded in real-life learning.
One amazing aspect of their curriculum is the individual projects students work on starting in the 3rd grade. In the early years the project, students are given the necessary guidance and support to allow them to be successful. As they move through the program students are encouraged to take on more and more responsibility and seek out resources in the greater community. By the 8th grade, students are often able to initiate their individual project based on their own field of interest.
Another unique aspect of the New Village School is the Classroom Without Walls Program. Through this program, each child spends one day a week outside the classroom learning through hands-on exploration, inquiry, discovery and experience. Students engage in environmental science and service projects; visit local farms, gardens and ranches; travel to places of cultural and historical interest. During these weekly learning journeys, students also have opportunities to go kayaking, hiking, sailing and rock climbing. As one teacher put it, "We believe that school is an actual extension of home; school is a part of life and learning takes place everywhere (http://tnvs.org/akademeia/classroom_without_walls_program)."
The Classroom Without Walls Program helps the students to get to know their place and the natural phenomena that exist there. The students also learn to feel comfortable and capable in their bodies and in nature. The opportunities offered by the program also enable students to develop the skills and confidence they need to be engaged in the real world.
The New Village School community is also committed to connecting with other schools and learning communities. This past year, the New Village School invited 8th graders and high school students from around the Bay Area to a two-day youth conference, Now Is The Time. During the conference, students engaged in conversations about empathy, understanding and compassion; what it means to be personally engaged in the world; authentic giving and service. With the help of local community experts, students developed personal action plans for themselves moving forward.
The School's teachers and leadership recently learned about Hōkūleʻa and the mission of the Worldwide Voyage, and was inspired to reach out and connect with the crew. "When we learned about Nainoa Thompson, the Hōkūleʻa crew and the mission of the Polynesian Voyaging Society, we knew we had found kindred souls" said Meinir Davies, head of the New Village School. "In a very deep sense, our school was grown to give opportunities to students to understand the past and the repercussions of behaviors that influence our present so they can navigate in a completely new way toward a future that has the agency to affect positively. With an awareness of our interdependence/inter-reliance amongst all living beings, an absolute reverence for all living beings and by allowing ourselves to feel our compassion and connectedness as we steadfastly remain open and sensitive are, we believe, absolute requirements in order to be able to do this."
Check out the New Village School Blog to see what other inspiring things are happening at the school. If you have a story you want to share of a School, Organization or Community that is doing their part to live the values of Mālama Honua, we encourage you to contact our Ed Team at education@pvshawaii.org.

Bullwinkle's Corner was created and run by Bill Blew (hardware) and Steve Clarke (software). Many other people in the TI community also contributed to the Corner in many ways.
This page will contain many remnants of the Corner when it is completed, including pictures and code. It is hoped that the many people who were regular users of BC may find this page and remember the good old days!
What is a BBS? A bulletin board system was the precursor to the internet. A user would call with their home computer and a modem, much like today. Instead of connecting to a server, the connection would be directly connected to the BBS, which was run on a dedicated computer. Software could be uploaded and downloaded, messages could be read and written, games could be played, and articles could be read. The main limitation of a BBS is that it could handle only one caller at a time. Messages (now called e-mail) could be written to a specific person, but that person would have to log into the BBS to retrieve the message. They could respond if desired, and the response would be picked up and read when the originator logged in again.
Bullwinkle's Corner ran for 10 years, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on a TI99/4A computer. The main console (computer) was replaced once! The rest of the hardware (except for disk drives) were used for the entire 10 years without failure! This attests to the quality of the TI computer system.

Q: Openshift: get commit or build id during build/deploy? I'm building an Openshift app that downloads a directory full of dependencies and backs up the existing database on every build. I'd like to name the directory and the database dump with the commit id (or the build id), but since there's no actual repository on the remote, I can't just use something like git rev-parse --short HEAD to get it.
Can anybody think of a way to retrieve it during build?
--
Chris

A: The best I was able to do for this was to just create a backup with a reasonably precise timestamp (e.g. something like backup-201411042116.tar.gz). There's consequently no direct connection to a specific commit, but for my app at least it was sufficient (rolling back the app is a pretty rare occurrence).
If you want, you can also make manual backups from your local machine using the rhc command line tools prior to a commit. See rhc snapshot save --help for details.
