When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?
Yet you have made them a little lower than God,
and crowned them with glory and honor.
You have given them dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under their feet…
Jobs with his Apple co-founder Steve "Wuz" Wozniak in the days prior to his famous black turtleneck shirt. (c) Universal Pictues
Steve Jobs was notorious for his hubris, and scriptwriter Aaron Sorkin certainly shows this in his dramatic adaptation of Walter Isaacson's subject-approved Jobs biography. In a heated exchange between his partner and co-founder of Apple, Steve "Woz" Wozniak (Seth Rogen), Jobs says that the whole universe was made in six days, so they should be able to fix the current problem, to which Woz retorts that he (Jobs) will have to tell them how he did it. Clearly, the Psalmist was describing mere mortals, and not Steve Jobs, self-admitted genius who changed the world forever!
The film begins with a 1974 newsreel clip of famed sci-fi writer and essayist Arthur C. Clarke discussing a room-filling computer and predicting a future in which we will with ease gather "all the information you need in a compact form," computers becoming as common place as telephones. This was only about a decade before Steve Jobs and his team brought this about.
Director Danny Boyle and Sorkin do not try to give us a biography of the man who changed our world so much—although there is a flashback to his launching Apple in his garage, but nothing of his conversion to Zen Buddhism, of his trip to India, or of the background of his love affair with Chrisann Brennan that led to the conception and birth of their daughter Lisa. Nor do we learn here that his role in the Pixar animation studios impacted the film industry so greatly and made him a major shareholder in the parent Walt Disney. Instead, the film focuses upon three major presentations Jobs made between 1984 and 1989, stopping before his marriage to Laurene Powell and fathering of three more children.
It has been pointed out that the film is structured like a three-act play, and certainly Sorkin's wordy script makes for a stagy film. The action is mainly verbal, various characters confronting Jobs, and the two squaring off, often while walking around backstage minutes before he is to face the audience. You might even call this a "backstage drama," akin to those popular 70 and more years ago.
Act One takes place at De Anza Community College in Cupertino, Calif., in 1984, as Jobs (Michael Fassbender) is getting ready to launch the first Macintosh personal computer. His constant companion, describing herself as his "work wife," is Joanna Hoffman (Kate Winslet), a marketing executive always ready to meet his imperious demands. Fortunately she is a strong character, able to stand face to face when he asks at one point, "What is your problem?" and she responds, "I don't know, but I'm sure it can be traced directly back to you."
His foils are his system-software developer Andy Hertzfeld (Michael Stuhlbarg) and long-time friend and partner Steve "Woz" Wozniak (Seth Rogan). The first reports that he is unable to get the Macintosh to say "Hello" when it is turned on. Jobs sweeps aside his explanations, telling him to fix it, that it must perform as he intends. Woz argues with him that their product should be open source rather than closed, as well as asking that Jobs give credit to the team that produced Apple II. (Woz himself resents his partner claiming most of the credit for their collaborative work.) As if this were not enough his former girl friend Chrisann Brennan (Katherine Waterston) comes seeking support money for her and their young daughter Lisa (Makenzie Moss). Job at first refuses but then relents, although he still refuses to admit that Lisa is his daughter.
Act Two takes place five years later, after he was forced out of the company he co-founded, Apple. The setting is the huge opera house in San Francisco where an impatient audience of investors and adoring fans wait for Jobs to introduce NeXT, a high end computer intended for the educational market. Hoffman is there to try to keep everything on schedule, as are Woz, the latter wanting Jobs to acknowledge those who made the Apple II the success that brought in such large profits. Chrisann Brennan is present with their 9 year-old daughter (now played by Ripley Sobo). Though still denying paternity, Jobs is drawn to her by her precocious use of his computer. Joining them is the man whom he had recruited from Pepsi to be the Apple's CEO John Sculley (Jeff Daniels), and who was responsible for forcing him to leave the firm. During a verbal skirmish with Scully Jobs states, "Artists lead, and hacks ask for a show of hands."
Act Three unfolds in 1998 in San Francisco's stately Davies Symphony Hall, where again Hoffman rushes around frantically trying to keep things on schedule for introducing the iMac. Now 43, Jobs has returned in triumph to lead the floundering Apple out of its steep decline. He again refuses the pleas of Woz, prompting the frustrated man to declare, "You can be decent and gifted at the same time." It is obvious that this is a sentiment that has never entered the mind of his genius former partner. And yet Jobs does reveal a touch of humanity in the way that he relates to his now 19 year-old daughter Lisa (Perla Haney-Jardine). When she gets angry and stomps off, he follows her up to the rooftop, even though this means he will be late for his presentation. In a way this scene of a father at last acknowledging and reconciling with his daughter is the emotional pay-off for the film, the reason for inserting the unrealistic presence of Chrisann Brennan and Lisa into the earlier two acts. Maybe even the notoriously insensitive Steve Jobs has a heart after all. We do know from other sources that she had chosen to live with him.
Although controversy has arisen over whether the film is a hatchet job or gives too much credit to Jobs, both the script and the director's dynamic handling of it results in compelling viewing. Jobs' arrogance and insensitivity to others are fully displayed, as well as the psychological complexities of his relationships. John Sculley raises the interesting question, "Why do people like you, who were adopted, feel like they were rejected instead of selected?"
In the midst of a heated argument the frustrated Wuz spews out a long question that brings an answer that is very illuminating as to Jobs' role at Apple: "You can't write code… you're not an engineer… you're not a designer… you can't put a hammer to a nail. I built the circuit board. The graphical interface was stolen from Xerox Parc. Jef Raskin was the leader of the Mac team before you threw him off his own project! Someone else designed the box! So how come ten times in a day, I read Steve Jobs is a genius? What do you do?" Jobs responds, "I play the orchestra, and you're a good musician. You sit right there and you're the best in your row."
Jobs was indeed peerless in his skill at playing the orchestra, but we might wonder if he needed to be so much like the tyrnnical jazz teacher Terence Fletcher in Whiplash. There is little doubt that few persons in the late 20th century have affected our personal and business lives as much as the head of the company that launched the world into the world of the personal computer because of his vision. In the argument with Wuz and others about their computer being open source or closed, we can see that Jobs had the broader vision. For Wuz the market was the geeks who loved to tinker with a computer, but for Jobs it was the vastly larger audience that would never learn codes or know anything about a circuit board, but who, if a monitor and keyboard were linked to a processor and then to an internet, would gladly buy a machine with which they could communicate with the world. It would not matter that the system was closed, impervious to tinkering, but it would matter in terms of profits if his system were not compatible with others. Whether or not Jobs was, as he considered himself, a Mozart of the computer age, there is no doubt that it is not only the Apple shareholders that are in debt to him. Like him or not, we all are his beneficiaries, and this film does a pretty good job of showing how and why. And as person of faith, I especially love the rooftop reconciliation, which we witness.
This review with a set of discussion questions will be in the November issue of Visual Parables.

Rumors the Obama campaign shouldn't try to correct.
The Barack Obama presidential campaign introduced a new site last week, FightTheSmears.com, that it hopes will debunk persistent myths about the senator: that he's a Muslim, that he won't say the Pledge of Allegiance, etc. As we have argued before, restating the myths often reinforces them, no matter how persuasively they've been refuted.
Rather than restate untruths about Obama, the campaign would do better to start some rumors of its own. Here's a template e-mail the Obama campaign might consider disseminating.


The International Policy Center (IPC) is pleased to host a lunch conversation with Dr. Randall S. Jones of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Dr. Jones currently serves as the head of the Japan/ Korea desk. Prior to joining OECD, he served in the US Department of State from 1987-1989. He is a University of Michigan graduate, earning his MA in Economics in '82, and his PhD in Economics in '84. Dr. Jones will present findings from the 2015 OECD Economic Survey of Japan and the 2016 OECD Economic Survey of Korea.
This IPC special event will be hosted by Assistant Professor Josh Hausman, and is open to Ford School MPP, MPA and PhD students. Seating is limited, so please register only if you are able to attend.
PLEASE NOTE: Attendees will be selected at random, and notified via email to confirm their attendance.
Any additional RSVP's will be wait listed, and notified in the event of a cancellation.

Satellite Images Show Disappearance of Armenian Artifacts in Azerbaijan
A high-resolution satellite image of a medieval Armenian cemetery in Azerbaijan taken in September 2003 shows hundreds of khachkars, intricate 15th and 16th century burial monuments. In a satellite image from May 2009, however, the khachkars are missing, suggesting that they were either destroyed or removed.
A comparison of the images by analysts from the AAAS Science and Human Rights Program found evidence of significant destruction and changes in the grade of the cemetery's terrain. The image from September 2003 shows rocky and uneven terrain, as well as shadows cast by the khachkars, while the May 2009 image shows a much flatter landscape and the khachkars' absence.
"As can be seen in the 2009 image, the appearance of additional dirt roads that traverse the cemetery and visibly smoother terrain suggest that the khachkars may have been destroyed or removed by earthmoving equipment," said Susan Wolfinbarger, senior program associate for the Geospatial Technologies and Human Rights Project, a part of the Science and Human Rights Program. "Our analysis of the satellite evidence is consistent with that of observers on the ground who have attested to the destruction of the khachkars and the leveling of the terrain in the Djulfa cemetery."
The geospatial team determined the exact location of the cemetery using a map hand-drawn by those with local knowledge of the area. It is located in Djulfa, part of Nakhchivan, an Azerbaijani exclave near the Iranian border.
Following reports that sledgehammer-wielding Azerbaijani soldiers destroyed hundreds of khachkars, a delegation of European Parliament members were rebuffed when they sought access to the cemetery in May 2006 to conduct a fact-finding mission. The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) also observed the phased destruction of the khachkars in Djulfa in reports published in 2003 and 2006-2007.
"Geospatial images allow us to shed light on regions that are not accessible, providing a visualization tool for events or circumstances that are important to bring to the public's attention but which, without some visual evidence, are less likely to attract attention and interest," said Jessica Wyndham, senior project director of the AAAS Science and Human Rights Program.
The AAAS team has used geospatial technology previously to document a number of human rights violations, including the 2005 destruction of structures and villages in Darfur, Sudan; civilian attacks in Burma in 2006 and 2009; structure damage in South Ossetia, Georgia in 2008; and mortar fights in Sri Lanka.
Decreasing computing costs, the growth of available geospatial data, and the increase of earth-imaging satellite sensors that provide high-resolution images have coalesced to improve the potential applications of geospatial technology in the field of human rights. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), U.S. Department of State, international governments, the United Nations, and nongovernmental organizations including Human Rights Watch have all used geospatial technology for humanitarian as well as human rights purposes.
In the future, Wolfinbarger anticipates that the Geospatial Technologies and Human Rights Project will use newer, higher resolution satellites for detailed vegetation analysis, while lower resolution satellites could facilitate deforestation analysis. "While in the past we have focused on the destruction of structures, we may be able to develop greater expertise in environment-related human rights through the use of these other satellites," she said.
The multispectral satellite images from September 2003 and May 2009 were taken by DigitalGlobe's QuickBird satellite. The AAAS analysts used ERDAS Imagine and ESRI's ArcMap software to do a side-by-side comparison of the images.

How We Price Our Databases
How We Price Our Databases pricingcomposedatabase
People often ask us how we come up with the prices on our various database deployments. There is an underlying logic to it all but it may not be obvious so in this article we're going to talk about how we build out database deployments and how that relates to pricing. We'll also explain what makes up one of our new MongoDB+ deployments.
What goes in a Compose deployment
For many, one of our database deployments is just "a database" with available access points from the internet configured and secured. But behind the scenes, there's a lot going on. The reason for that is we are about making sure you can relax knowing your data is being held in a production quality system. That means high availability, well provisioned clusters, with stopless backups and snapshots, all tuned for whichever database you choose to run.
The first part of the Compose recipe is to use a solid hardware foundation. We may be a cloud-based service but we have substantial amounts of our own hardware built specifically to serve the demands of the databases we rung. That means using, for example, very high quality SSDs which are locally attached to the systems they are working with rather than attached over a secondary storage network.
All that hardware is built to optimally interconnect with the datacentres where you run your applications. We also don't overprovision; you can be assured that we have more than enough capacity to handle our users simultaneously.
The second part of our recipe is using our software platform to deliver the power of that hardware and infrastructure to you as a database deployment.
The anatomy of a Compose deployment
We've talked in the past about how deployments are made up of capsules, containerized applications each performing particular roles. There are in fact four different major types of capsules.
Data capsules - These are the heart of most deployments, they run the database servers. A single unit of data capsule comes with 102MB or RAM and 1GB of storage. MongoDB, Elasticsearch, RethinkDB and PostgreSQL all have two or more of these at their core.
Memory capsules - In-memory databases like Redis don't need disk, but they do need RAM, so the Memory capsule is a variation on Data capsule which has 256MB of RAM and no extra disk in a single unit.
CPU capsules - There's often work that needs to be done which just needs CPU to process. Things like SSH tunnels, SSL proxies and Mongos servers where they are expected to be active doing a significant amount of work. For this there's the CPU Capsule. No RAM or storage is associated with them.
Utility capsules - Finally, for everything else which just needs to be there and awake, for the long running process and the arbitrator, for the configuration store or the monitoring code.
So that's Data, Memory, CPU and Utility. Data and Memory capsules are the ones that scale up, and down, to give more RAM and storage, they scale in units, so one unit of Data is $6.00 a month and one unit of Memory is $6.50, because memory is precious. CPU capsules are a flat $4.50 each and those Utility capsules are a bargain at $1 each a month.
Elastic example
With that in mind, let's look at a typical Elasticsearch deployment and pull up the overview page – available from the Compose Web UI – for it...
The deployment topology tells you there's three elastic_search capsules configured. They have a role of "member" so are data capsules. By default, Elasticsearch data members use two units of Data. So thats $6 x 2 units x 3 members, that comes to $36. Add to that the haproxy capsule, a CPU capsule, at $4.50 and that comes to $40.50 a month. If we were to scale up to 4GB of disk, only the data capsules would change: $6 x 4 units x 3 members, $72 plus $4.50 for the haproxy, giving $76.50. Of course, you don't need to work that out because if you look on the overview page you'll see the scaling panel...
And there's "Increase resources 2.0x" with 4GB of disk and 410MB of storage. If you are wondering why the apparently odd RAM allocation, the default allocation of RAM on Compose is 10% of the disk allocated. So allocator 1024GB of disk and you get 102.4MB of RAM. It gets rounded to the nearest MB when being displayed. 10% of 4096MB is 409.6MB which rounds to 410MB.
Redis examined
We can do the same exercise with a Redis deployment. If we pull up the overview on a typical one:
This deployment of Redis is at 1x scale and, if you look, there's there's two redis type entries marked as members so that's two Memory capsules. That's $6.50x2, $13. Then there's the other redis entry but thats not a Memory capsule. It's role is marked lightweight and although it may be running Redis, its running it in sentinel mode which makes it a Utility capsule. Thats another $1. Finally, there's the haproxy CPU capsule, adding $4.50 on and bringing the total up to $18.50.
MongoDB+ specced out
The previous two deployments are relatively simple. Now we move onto our next generation MongoDB deployments, currently in beta as MongoDB+. The current release of MongoDB from Compose is uncomplicated; it's the equivalent of three Data capsules with two of the Data capsules accessible from the web – hence the $6x3, $18, pricing. It's a very effective arrangement but lacking that complexity means developers have to ensure their applications handle failover correctly and it is impossible to offer connection options like SSL or SSH tunneling.
MongoDB+ addresses this with a lot more infrastructure. If you looked at the overview for a MongoDB+ deployment you'd see it listed like this:
As you can see there's a lot of capsules making up a MongoDB+ deployment. Let's work through them starting with the Data capsules. There's two mongodb/member capsules and one mongodb/backup capsule and all three of these are the ones which will be scaled up and down and at the moment, they are scaled at 1x unit by default. The backup role is a specialized one which enables backups to take place without stopping the database; it is a member of the same replica set as the member capsules. That gives us $6*3, $18 in scalable capsules.
Moving down the list, next is the mongodb/mongos capsules. There's two of them and as well as routing incoming connections to the replica set, they also provide the SSL enabled proxy. They are created as CPU capsules, so add $4.50x2, $9, to the running total.
Then there's the mongodb/configsvr which provides configuration data to allow the mongos and replica set to efficiently connect. The MongoDB architecture needs at least three of them by design. Each one is run as a Utility capsule, so all three come to another $3. Finally the replica set has an arbiter capsule to look after things there. It's another Utility capsule, so it's another $1.
If you pull those together, $18+$9+$3+$1, you get $31 which is how much a basic MongoDB+ deployment costs. The $13 difference between MongoDB and MongoDB+ is made up entirely of the new supporting infrastructure. As evidence of this, scaling up MongoDB+ x2 just involves an $18 increment for the member and backup capsules. This is the same cost as the current MongoDB to scale up. The mongos, configsvr and arbiter don't need to change and are a fixed cost in a deployment.
As you can see, we price our databases with a predictable model. The model also shows how we price our add-ons, depending on what workload they are under - connectivity add-ons tend to require just CPU to maintain connections. Bringing it all together means you get production quality database hosting at a predictable, competitive price. And we get the ability to bring you new database technologies using the same, production-tested platform.

Q: Send multiple data type over socket I want to send multiple data type over socket.
I have that code:
when I create client, it generates public and private keys and sends the public to serve and the serve  stores it.
when client wants to send message to another client, it gets his public key from the server to encrypt the message.
But when I run this code it freeze at client in dest_public_key=(PublicKey) oin.readObject()
Why it stop at here?
Why it doesn't read the PublicKey's object that the handler writes to it?
Is there any problems in streams?

So, i've been in Hobart for nearly one year, i've made it. Nearly over the line, and the fact i've worked one continious year, that would also be the longest i've worked in years. You dont have to reach for a Guinness book of records to know that isn't a record, but it is for me.
And now that i'm leaving, it will be quite some time before i work again, my Australian passport in is the mail, i've pretty much achieved everything i wanted to achieve along the way, the only real problems were the ones i had to create for myself, we live and learn.
Most of the videos here were taken on the same day, one of my favourite days here in Australia, is Anzac day, it's legal to play Two up, gambling and drinking, excellent fun!!
It's amazing, all the strange stories that are TRUE, when it comes to this place and heres another one.
Nickolai and myself getting back to our roots, well something like that?
We had dinner to celebrate one more Australian in the mix, me!

This is article 10 in the SAFe® Implementation Roadmap series. Click here to view the entire roadmap.
You can think of this stage as a train picking up steam and moving at an accelerated pace. The larger business opportunity has arrived, enabling the enterprise to "consolidate gains and produce more change" by launching more Agile release trains and value streams . This allows the business to start realizing the fuller benefits of SAFe, effectively shifting to the next higher gear of the transformation.
As the Implementation Roadmap picture illustrates, and experience has shown, the first Program Increment (PI) Planning event, ART launch, and PI deliverables provide initial, measurable, and substantial business benefits. Business and development are now aligned to a common vision and mission; everyone has agreed to a new way of working and has adopted a common method, language, cadence, and synchronized events; new roles and responsibilities are established; a new level of employee engagement arises as teams take responsibility for planning their own future. And most importantly, the first PI deliverables have illustrated the effectiveness of adopting SAFe and continuously improving the competencies of the Lean Enterprise.
In addition, the first ART creates an effective pattern and the initial institutional 'muscle memory' needed to implement additional ARTs in the value stream. In this next critical move—launch more ARTs and value streams —the enterprise can start to realize an even greater return on their investment: faster time-to-market, higher quality, higher productivity, and increased employee engagement. These are the rewards that only a full and effective implementation of scaled Lean-Agile practices can deliver.
However, a cautionary note is warranted. The same attention and effort must be devoted to the next few ARTs as was paid to the first. Otherwise, there may be a tendency to assume that 'everyone knows how to do this now.' That's unlikely this early in the transformation, and the stakeholders in the lead will need to give as much love and care to each subsequent ART as they did to their first.
As we described in Identify Value Streams and ARTs, some value streams can be realized by a single ART. They already have the people, resources, and cross-functional skills needed to Release on Demand without additional coordination, integration with other ARTs, or added governance.
However, larger value streams require the development of the organization's Lean System Engineering competency, and some or all of the additional roles, events, and artifacts of the SAFe Large Solution Level will be required (see Figure 1).
This is also true for high-assurance systems, where more rigor of system definition (Solution Intent) and other activities are likely to be required. In this case, the next stage of the rollout for these value streams will need to establish these additional practices.
Establishing roles – Fill the three large solution roles—Solution Train Engineer (STE), Solution Management, and Solution Architect/Engineering.
Establishing solution intent and Solution Context – Determine the responsibilities, process, and tools to define and document solution intent and solution context. For high-assurance systems, establish and/or evolve Lean-Agile verification and validation practices (see Compliance).
Establishing a large solution, Vision, Roadmap, and Metrics – Many elements of the spanning palette may be required for large value streams. These include vision, roadmap, metrics, Shared Services, System Team, and DevOps strategies, Lean User Experience (UX), Milestones, and releases.
Introducing Capabilities and the Solution Backlog – Larger value streams benefit from the use of the capabilities backlog item, in which case the Solution Kanban must also be established.
Implementing Pre- and Post-PI Planning, Solution Demo, and large solution Inspect and Adapt (I&A) – These events are required to prepare for individual ART PI planning, to follow up and coordinate Solution Objectives after planning, and to demonstrate the full solution to stakeholders.
Integrating Suppliers – Large value streams typically have internal and/or external Suppliers. Whether they are already embracing Lean-Agile and SAFe principles or not, they must be integrated into the new way of working. Lean enterprises often take an active role in helping their suppliers adopt SAFe, as it improves the economics of the larger value stream. Whatever the case, the suppliers must at least be integrated into SAFe events at the large solution level.
Launching the first full value stream is a major milestone in the transformation. Outcomes are improving. People are happier. The new way of working is being ingrained into the habits of the organization. The culture is evolving as well.
However, the job is far from done in the large enterprise. The other value streams may be entirely different businesses, operating units, or subsidiaries. They may be located in different countries, offer markedly different solutions and services, and have different chains of command that may only converge at the highest corporate level.
As a result, even the spread of good news to other value streams may not evoke an automatic embrace of SAFe across the enterprise. Many may think, 'What worked there may not work here.' So, in a sense, each new value stream represents the same challenge and opportunity to incorporate all the change management steps described so far. Each new value stream will need to go through the same series of steps that got you to this point, as illustrated in Figure 2.
Accordingly, as the enterprise ponders the next big steps—where the change, impact, and business benefits will be the greatest—it's a good time to roll out the Invitation-Based Implementation Approach. This will help generate the necessary buy-in and will also 'shape the path' that allows key stakeholders to assume the leadership roles they will need to succeed in the new way of working .
Also, given the scope of the effort ahead, it's a good time to reflect on earlier principles and apply Principle #6 – Visualize and limit Work in Process (WIP), reduce batch sizes, and manage queue lengths. We'll see these principles at work in the SAFe Implementation Railway, described below.
A while ago we had the opportunity to visit the folks at Northwestern Mutual. They were in the midst of one of the larger and most significant SAFe rollouts to date. We spent some time with the technical transformation team (similar to the LACE), sharing experiences and learning from each other. The team showed us how they had managed their transformation rollout. The highlight was a 10-foot long Big Visible Information Radiator (BVIR). We mean really big, as illustrated in Figure 3.
Reproduced with permission of Northwestern Mutual.
We were so impressed by their Lean-Agile Mindset, the way they applied SAFe principles and practices, and the structured way they executed the implementation, that we asked if we could share their experience. They graciously agreed. One outcome was that Sarah Scott presented their work as a case study at the 2016 SAFe Summit. Further, we've taken those learnings and generalized their experience into guidance for what we call the SAFe Implementation Railway, as seen in Figure 4.
The railway operates as a Kanban board that contains a series of four major states, with one state, the tracks, having multiple steps for each ART. Each of the four major states is described below.
Input funnel – Used for numerous purposes, this state's primary role is to act as an opportunity for stakeholders to volunteer their value streams for transformation. Other purposes include collecting feedback, offering suggestions for improvement or points of discussion, or identifying challenges. In short, whatever is needed. There are no WIP limits for the funnel. When ready, a value stream is pulled into the transformation backlog state.
Leadership prepared – Value stream stakeholders have been trained in the new way of working, established and communicated a sense of urgency, built the guiding coalition, and developed and communicated the change vision.
ARTs identified – The operational and development value streams have been analyzed, and prospective ARTs have been identified (see Identify Value Streams and ARTs).
Value Stream Canvas defined – The value stream itself is further defined and the value stream canvas is created (see Create the Implementation Plan).
SPCs trained – In order to provide the knowledge and coaching expertise, additional SPCs in the value stream are trained (see Train Lean-Agile Change Agents). A coaching plan is created.
This state is WIP limited, ensuring adequate LACE and SPC support.
The tracks – The tracks represent the doing state, where the ARTs are structured, launched, and operated to achieve the aim of the value stream. There are five intermediate stations on this track, described below. The tracks are WIP limited in two ways: there are only a small number of tracks (value streams) available, and there can be no more than 'X' trains on each track.
Sustain and improve – Once an ART can run independently, without the constant attention of coaches, the train is moved to the sustain and improve state on the BVIR. This section displays all the SAFe value streams and ARTs in the organization that have been launched to date. This state is not WIP limited; the more the merrier!
As the name indicates, the arrival of each train at the sustain and improve state is not the end of its journey. It's only a milepost. Once it arrives, each train's relentless improvement journey begins.
The tracks are where most of the transformational work takes place. Each station on the track represents a state of maturity for an ART. While the number and definition of the stations can be adapted to each enterprise's context, we offer an example in Figure 5.
Clearly, this portion of the roadmap represents the largest amount of work in a successful SAFe implementation. It requires leadership, urgency, persistence, and actively removing impediments. As the culture starts to shift to the new values and norms, patience is also essential.
With value streams and trains now running on a consistent basis, it's time to move on to the next critical move in the SAFe Implementation Roadmap: Extend to the Portfolio.


Down a little cobbled alleyway, not completely unlike one you'd come across in The Bowery or Williamsburg, is a little cafe. Like all hidden gems, it's hard to spot at first, but if you're brave enough to venture down you will eventually be glad you did so.
This was my second visit in two days - the first was to try to the peanut butter hot chocolate I'd read about in this broadsheet article, and the second was for lunch.
I had already planned in my head what I wanted to say about this place before I'd even been here. I'd done my research, read the reviews and blog posts, and it was time for me to contribute to the community with my own experience. Too bad the idealised, melting hot fudge-like and gooey peanut butter hot chocolate I had in mine tasted just like my regular dark soy hot chocolate that I get from Koko Black. Only less rich, and *starts choking up* lukewarm. It was upsetting, letting my tastebuds believe they were going to be treated to a spectacular experience, and regretfully letting them down. I guess this was partly my fault though, for assuming I wouldn't need to make a special 'extra hot' request.
But I was very forgiving - the hipster subway-like entrance evoked a New Yorky vibe and sold me immediately; I was back the next day to try out the food this time!
So the deal here is, you can either order a sandwich on its own for $12.50, or you can go for the sandwich set which includes a side salad, a pickle, and a handful of American pretzels for the price of $16.50. I was pretty hungry, so I thought I'd go all out.
On a wooden tray reminiscent of the high school canteen trays American students eat off in those high school movies, I was served one hot salmon sandwich on gluten free bread - topped with a pickle, and accompanied by a lentil and mushroom with goats cheese salad on the side, and a sprinkling of crunchy pretzels. It was quite exciting. Noticing the avoidance of gluten in my order, the waitress kindly informed me that the pretzels may contain gluten - to which I confessed my order was a choice based on health not allergy. But I appreciated the sentiment!
It was a decent sandwich - layered with a generous serving of salmon, juicy heirloom tomato, horseradish, fried capers and smooth cream cheese - sandwiched in between two lightly toasted, fresh pieces of gluten free bread. It was the perfect filling to bread surface area ratio - each bite contained a piece of all the elements that made up this delicious sandwich.
The salad was warm and contained little hints of onion acidity that gave an otherwise ordinary salad the taste kick it needed. Scrumptious!
Finally, my sugar craving was met when I realised that my peppermint tea had been serve with a little Hershey's kiss! Having been born in Australia, I grew up with Cadbury dairy chocolate as my ultimate go-to chocolate confectionary, so I can't say I'm too big a fan of Hershey's - nevertheless it was a nice little addition to round off a very enjoyable 'Murrican meal!


Needless to say, the corrosive fluid is very hazardous in nature and needs maximum layer protection to avoid any leakage or spillage. These spray out or leakage in the piping is extremely dangerous for your industry. It not just influences your valuable hardware installed in your industry, yet in addition makes a risk of the life of the work force in your industry which is the reason why you need navy spray shields or flange guards in piping.
To maintain a distance from such conditions, these flanges guard otherwise called security shields have been installed. Its-fundamental reason for existing is to give transitory control on the leakage, in this way, that you can make essential move to evade this circumstance.
Spray Shields: These are profoundly suggested as a result of its physical strength. The best thing about this flange guard or spray shield is that it is Teflon covered and gives sign through change its PH shading, along these lines, that one can without much of a stretch make vital move to maintain a strategic distance from the circumstance of spray out. These are extremely light in weight and exceptionally simple to install and evacuate also. These have a high strength to give protection from the leakage in pipe till the last more.
Plasti Shields: This kind of security shields is more affordable than some other of its sorts and for the most part utilized in chemical systems. It likewise has PH patches pointers and normally made by three-utilize lamination and non-woven material. These shields have the capacity to deal with the pressure of temperature up to 140° C.
Meta Shields: These are made by utilizing fantastic stainless steel or galvanized steel, which make it ready to withstand in brutal circumstances. You can without much of a stretch install it all alone by utilizing a screwdriver. It has additionally helped in evading the circumstance of spray outs, so as to protect the man and material of your industry.

German auto lobby calls on Merkel to allow car sales to resume
The German auto industry forms the backbone of the European economy.
VDA says that several companies risk bankruptcy from high inventory.
Berlin: Germany's automotive lobby group and the country's largest union called on Chancellor Angela Merkel to allow car sales in the country to resume as soon as possible.
High inventory that can't be sold is risking the bankruptcy of many companies in the industry, the VDA and IG Metall labor union said in a letter to the chancellor on Thursday that was also released as a statement.
"The companies cannot accommodate any more vehicles," the groups said. "This means that delivery and production come to a standstill or cannot be started again."
Merkel has been talking with the automotive industry, which forms the backbone of the German economy, to find a way to restart production. The talks are focused on automotive suppliers that might not be able to survive extended production shutdowns.
Factory shutdowns triggered by the coronavirus crisis resulted in lost production of 1.47 million vehicles so far, European auto industry lobby group ACEA said in a separate statement.

Any software APPs available to reduce software conflicts?
Are there software applications available (or even under development) to reduce conflicts amongst two different competing APPs?
For example, some users opt to apply two different anti-malware APPs e.g, see link discussing difficulties stemming from applying two different anti-malware APPS.
Edited by JustMarc, 02 August 2018 - 02:18 PM.
I'm not aware of any applications or even developments that would be likely to do this.
What methods may be applied to best synchronize/reconcile two competing anti-virus/anti malware products? Can such methods become incorporated, and hence translated into software APPs to minimize conflicts between two competing anti-virus/anti-malware products?
Edited by JustMarc, 03 August 2018 - 09:51 PM.
Generally speaking, it is counter productive to have more than one anti virus product running resident in memory at the same time.
Running more than one, resident in memory, at the same time would tend to reduce the protection available rather than enhance it.
As far as I'm aware there are no reports of any major developments, universally accepted, that would tend to negate the general advice as stated above.

A key lesson of this book is that there are many methods to upgrade slums by improving the supply of housing for the poor, including slum clearance combined with resettlement and new housing developments without slum clearance. However, by failing to address broader issues that promote the emergence of slums, they may not leave slum residents. This article, which focuses on urban planning in cities with slums, discusses the literature about the appropriate policy responses for improving slum-housing conditions and identifies two avenues for policy action. These are increasing the affordable supply of formal or regulated housing to reduce the pressure for the formation of new slums and increasing private investment in existing Cited by: relentlessly bleak. begins bordering on poverty porn, with a deluge of horrifying stats, then morphs into a lucid analysis of why slums exploded in the wake of decolonization + what housing, sanitation, and work are like for the over 1 billion people who are confined in them today. t/o the work Davis differentiates b/w two overlapping groups, the global informal working class and the slum /5. The Eternal Slum is the first full-length examination of working-class housing issues in a British town. The city investigated not only provided the context for the development of a national policy but also, in scale and variety of response, stood in the vanguard of housing reform.
A paper on "slum stereotypes" eventually led to a book titled The Imagined Slum (). Even more important, however, were his experiences of visiting Cape Town and New Delhi, where Mayne "confronted the disjunction between the long-standing assumptions about slums and the realities of life in disadvantaged city neighbourhoods". Empirical studies have also shown that about 75% of the urban settlers live in slums and improper housing, which is antithetical to human dignity. Therefore, this study aims at exploring the causes, advantages, and disadvantages of urban slum dwelling in Nigeria, and similarly proper possible solutions to the prevailing urbanization challenges. In Mike Davis' book Planet of Slums the efforts of major global cities to veil their slums is revealed. Davis brings the prevalence of slums to our attention, from their slow development during the colonial era, when country natives were not allowed property in the cities, to the vast expansion of slums in the latter 20th century due to post-independence neoliberal policies that displaced.

The Progressives and the Slums chronicles the reform of tenement housing, where some of the worst living conditions in the world existed. Roy Lubove focuses his study on New York City, detailing the methods, accomplishments, and limitations of housing reform at the turn of the twentieth century. The book is based in part on personal interviews with, and the unpublished writings of Lawrence. The book juxtaposes the desire for orderly, competitive cities that results in the removal of slums with the rights of informal settlement residents to basic services, security of tenure, a voice in decision-making and creating the city.

To clarify, the strumming pattern is: d, d, d, u, u, d, d, d, u, u?
Hmmm, maybe this song is in G? G feels like the "home" chord to me. It just starts on the "five" chord. And from a music theory pov, all the chords fit G major.
But whatever, it's still a good song, and you do a great job on the tutorial. That's a valuable service you are providing. The key is not really that important.
I'm pretty sure this is in the key of D. I've looked around a bit, and most places I've found list this key as D. Ha – I suppose it's not all that important so long as the chords are right.
This song is actually in the key of G. It begins on the 5th chord (D) of the key G which is why some think it is in the key of D. The Am chord is the clue. If it was in the key of D, the song would have an Em chord.
Hi Cindy – the key of Revelation Song seems to be hotly debated, ha. According to the author (Jennie Lee Riddle), it's written in D Mixolydian, which makes sense. In the Mixolydian mode, the 7th is flatted, so in the case of D, the 7th is C#. Because it's Mixolydian mode, the C# becomes C major, which is found in the song. You could think of it as key of G (G and D Mixolydian are related scales), but the D chord feels like the 1 chord in the song (it's where the song feels like it resolves). Another cool thing about the version of the song that contains the guitar solo – the solo section goes to Dorian mode, which contains a flattened 3rd.
Either way, this is all very boring, but I find music theory to be pretty interesting.
Really thanks, gretings from chile, you tutorials in youtube are very usefull,,, really thanks… god bless you brian..
Thanks a lot for the 'revelation song' video!
I just started playing the guitar.
It is really cool that I can learn to play with a song to worship the Lord.
Hi Brian, I love this song and cannot sing it without being move to tears every time.
The chords are great and I need to practice much more before I can lead. My heart is in this song..
Thank you for the excellent video. BTW, I attend Calvary Chapel South Bay (Steve Mays' church, Los Angeles)….have you ever heard of Kevin Click? He's a good friend and another amazing musician.
Thank you for this great lesson! I'm a beginner and am having problems with learning this strumming pattern; are there any tips or tutorials to help me master it? Aslo which strumming do we accent? The first Down and also there seems to be an accent closer to the end, but I don't quite catch it.
This song is slow enough that you can actually accent the 1, 2, 3, and 4 if you want, but I'd land more on 1 and 3 personally.

"It's such a rich story": Florence Pugh, Alexander Skarsgård and Michael Shannon on The Little Drummer Girl
Date: November 17, 2018Author: Sarah Bradbury
Two years after the blazing success of The Night Manager, the BBC are back with another John le Carré adaptation. This time it's The Little Drummer Girl, a six-part series based on the master spy writer's novel.
Published in 1983 but set in 1979, the story follows Israeli spy Martin Kurtz (a wonderfully moustached Michael Shannon) who is working with a team to hunt down Palestinian terrorist Khalil. He recruits young British left-wing actress Charlie (Florence Pugh) as part of an elaborate plan, with the help of his enigmatic intelligence officer Joseph (Alexander Skarsgård).
In the hands of acclaimed director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, The Handmaiden) the series perfectly balances style and substance with a flawless 70s aesthetic as well as carefully captured complex characters and the controversial Israeli-Palestinian conflict as its political backdrop. Shannon and Skarsgård will certainly spark interest but it's Pugh's central performance as the very real, witty and fearless character of Charlie that draws you into this slow-burn espionage thriller, a surefire follow up to her breakout role in award-winning Lady Macbeth.
We sat down to catch up with the cast of the new series while they were in town for the London Film Festival.
Florence Pugh told us what drew her to the role of Charlie, what makes John le Carré's writing so perfect for being adapted for the screen and how she sees roles for women in film currently.
Alexander Skarsgård spoke to us about how he sees his character Joseph, his experience of working with Pugh and making the adaptation across exotic locations and with a brilliant director and team.
Michael Shannon also chatted to us about playing Martin, the balance of style and substance achieved by Chan-wook and the potential for controversy over the film's political backdrop, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
By Sarah Bradbury. First published on The Upcoming on 17th October 2018.
The Little Drummer Girl will air on BBC One at 9pm from 28th October 2018. Read our review here.

Toasted coconut and almonds add a flavorful dimension to plain vanilla ice cream.
Whisk the ice cream mixture and pour into the canister of an ice cream maker. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions. During the last 5 minutes of freezing, add coconut flakes and almonds to the ice cream maker. If necessary, place the ice cream in the freezer to firm up before serving.
275 calories???? Honestly, it sounds good but I would never make this without doing a good bit of modification...This healthy recipe has about the same calories as the super premium ice creams. Pros: like the flavor combo Cons: 275 calories for 1/2 cup!!!!

It's actually rare that we get crossover questions related to our old days in college and university. Considering we're both old English majors, both who taught for a while, it's possible we get such questions a bit more than some writers. We actually don't think about it much, but…
Q: Do you find it frustrating that so much excellent work is currently produced in SF & Fantasy but that by and large it is still ignored by the literati?
Barb: Oh, goodness no. I feel so sorry for writers who care about such things. We are writing for an audience of readers, and our readers seem to love our work on the whole. J.C. and I are both ex-academics, so we were surrounded by intellectual snobbery all the time. We fit in when we need to, but it's always a relief to get away from it. We want to engage and move and entertain our readers. That's fun, and for us, there's no better profession for this.
JC: I was a little more involved in the literary writers' community than Barb, though not much. Pretentious snootiness exists there among those who like to make judgments as what is or isn't "literature." But it's not quite as pervasive as some think. Not all therein were that way. I met good, bad, and in-between.
In the end, there is only one worthwhile seal of approval for whatever I write: pure readers (not writers or critics) found it worthwhile. They've got the only opinion that matters. Any writer who ignores them in favor of the lauds of their peers is… well, someone who puts on a blindfold when they step out of their citadel so they don't have to see the jungle outside. Giving such people credence through concern is just following that blindfolded fool.
You get a name for that in the jungle: lunch.
I don't bother, 'cause I like the jungle. It's where I'm most at home.

A whistleblower on 5G
One whistleblower, an executive at a major technology company that produces 5G equipment, says it is extremely dangerous technology. Unlike when 3G and 4G were introduced, this source says the top management are pushing hard for 5G implementation without any proper safety testing. The "5G wavelength is very similar to that of the human brain so that it can be used for mind control," he said. He also said that while 3G signals hit people like a basketball and 4G like a golf ball, 5G was more like a needle and could cause brain damage. Also, he warned that 5G would require transmission towers every 100 meters and would be extremely intrusive and saturate the environment with dangerous electromagnetic waves. He said no living creature, even microbes, could survive in his company's 5G testing laboratory.
This executive also advised me to not carry my 4G smartphone on my body and to put it in airplane mode when I went to sleep. I took his advice and can report I slept longer and deeper as a result.
We were also contacted by a former South African intelligence officer who said the South African apartheid regime had used electromagnetic carrier frequencies to manipulate the behavior of black Africans. At one point they were used to make them attack each other.

NC dentist loses licenses after 2 patients die
(Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
HIGH POINT, N.C. (AP) — The North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners has revoked the license of a dentist whose use of anesthesia factored into two patient deaths last year.
The State reports that the board also revoked Shawana Patterson's general anesthesia permit. The board says Patterson gave an "excessive" amount of anesthesia to one patient who disclosed health issues that made him unfit for anesthesia outside of hospitals. It says the High Point dentist dismissed concerns that the patient turned "bluish-gray" until he became unresponsive. He was hospitalized, diagnosed with brain damage and later died.
The second patient suffered a similar fate.

Warm-shouldering
More accommodation of a controversial but rising figure
AsiaFeb 15th 2014 edition
IT WAS almost a Valentine's day date. On February 13th America's ambassador to India, Nancy Powell, visited Narendra Modi, the chief minister of Gujarat, at his home in Gandhinagar. He gave her roses. It got political classes gossiping. No more will diplomats isolate the divisive leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). America had been most outspoken in pinning on Mr Modi responsibility for sectarian riots in 2002 that killed over 1,000 people, mostly Muslims. In 2005 it rescinded his visa to travel to the United States. Western ambassadors long cold-shouldered the Hindu nationalist.
Officially, what has changed is that a court in December cleared Mr Modi of possibly the last legal challenge over the riots. America is now ready to engage him with talks on doing business in Gujarat. But what matters is national politics. The ruling Congress is a busted flush. A general election is due in May, and everything points to the BJP doing best. It makes sense to adjust to Mr Modi now, as the BJP's candidate to be prime minister. Envoys from Britain and the rest of Europe ended their unofficial boycott of him over a year ago.
Other long-term critics of Mr Modi have also been making accommodations. In the past few months a few prominent critics, such as the former editor of the Hindu newspaper and a columnist with a news magazine, were eased from their jobs. Journalists in some television newsrooms say that the wider corporate interests of their owners preclude strong attacks on the man who may soon be prime minister.
It is not clear whether similar logic explains why Penguin India, after four years of defending itself in civil and criminal cases, this week reportedly decided to pulp all copies of a controversial book about Hindu culture. "The Hindus", by Wendy Doniger, an academic at Chicago University, had provoked Hindu nationalists in India and an increasingly angry and outspoken diaspora in America. They claimed her psychoanalytical approach was flawed and voyeuristic, and had somehow hurt the feelings of hundreds of millions.
Yet the book had earned decent reviews. The author herself blames Indian law for making religious offence a criminal rather than a civil matter. She also warns that the incident bodes ill for free speech in a "worsening" political climate. Too few politicians defend liberal values consistently, preferring to court the votes of supposedly offended members of a particular caste or religious or regional group. Those who campaigned against "The Hindus" now say they want other books by Ms Doniger withdrawn, and school textbooks rethought.

MONDAY, Jan. 22, 2018 (HealthDay News) — Longer survival after breast cancer may be as simple as staying fit, new research shows.
In the new study, regular exercise appeared to reduce breast cancer survivors' risk of heart disease, diabetes and possibly even the odds for breast cancer's return.
"A common question asked by patients who have recently completed treatment is 'What can I do to prevent this from happening again?' " said Dr. Alice Police. She is regional director of breast surgery at Northwell Health Cancer Institute in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.
"We now have one more very well done study that supports the idea that exercise — as opposed to weight loss alone — is very important in preventing breast cancer recurrences," Police said.
Her team tracked outcomes for 100 breast cancer survivors who'd received cancer treatment less than six months before entering the study.
Nearly half of the participants were obese and 77 percent had developed metabolic syndrome. That's a group of health conditions — high blood pressure, excessive body fat and high blood fat levels — that raises a person's odds for heart disease.
"Many people don't know the No. 1 cause of death for breast cancer survivors is heart disease, not cancer," Dieli-Conwright noted in a USC news release.
"In breast cancer patients, metabolic syndrome is exacerbated by obesity, a sedentary lifestyle and receipt of chemotherapy," Dieli-Conwright explained.
In the new study, women were randomly assigned to either a non-exercise ("control") group or to a group that undertook three one-on-one exercise sessions each week for four months.
At the end of the four months, rates of metabolic syndrome were 80 percent in the non-exercising group, but they'd dropped to just 15 percent in the exercise group, the findings showed.
In addition, the women in the exercise group lost fat, gained muscle and reduced their risk of heart disease, the investigators reported. Also, among those in the exercise group, blood pressure levels fell by 10 percent and blood levels of "good" HDL cholesterol rose by 50 percent.
Police agreed. And while the study couldn't prove that regular workouts might thwart cancer's return, she said the theory makes sense.
"Exercise promotes changes in our bodies that go beyond how we look, and make all of our cells and organs happier so that we can remain cancer free," Police said.
There are exercise tips for breast cancer survivors at Breastcancer.org.
