Neil Coleman | Author of Roskill and Talk to Me: Jack Russell, a beach, stones, marshmallows and--home baking!
Jack Russell, a beach, stones, marshmallows and--home baking!
I know I am in paradise. I feel like I am and if I need proof, I don't need to depart this world anytime soon; I just reflect on the last hour and a bit, but the time seems vague, contrasting to the surety of my walk along ---the beach and all that I experienced.
It was late afternoon, that time between lunch and the approaching evening on a Sunday. The seasons were rubbing up against one another, unsure about who was going to lead the dance, the music provided by gentle waves kissing the pebble-strewn beach.
My eyes were working overtime, seeking out colourful stones, all to be polished, vibrated and tumbled back in the garage. They would join my growing collection, to be attached to pendants or simply given away.
I was not alone. Campervans were parked, spilling out their inhabitants, some of whom, joined me, in conversation, laughs and a few, collecting their baubles from the beach, be it driftwood, stones or---memories.
They shared their stories, about life back in the city, or their journeys in their travelling homes whilst Perdy the Jack Russell made friends, endearing herself by jumping up, looking deeply into their eyes, as if she was taking a measure of who they were and keeping tabs for future reference, as only dogs can.
By this time, my pockets were bulging, threatening to drag my pants to the ground, lightened only for moments as I showed the 'beach people,' my collection. I was fed marshmallows by a generous lady, unknowingly eating about six before I remembered that, back at home I was soon to be cooking fresh fish delivered by a neighbour earlier in the day.
I said my goodbyes and headed back over the bridge, the sun warming my back, reminding me that Winter would come calling and days like today, but a beautiful memory.

Sale market
After tough 2018, the market in Dyce began to see a little more activity during the first three months of 2019, albeit it is gradual.
With returning optimism in the energy sector, there is a degree of confidence that this will continue into the Spring market and beyond.
We are definitely seeing more activity in the market compared to recent years, be it new buyers coming in to find out about mortgages and what they can afford to buy at, and new sellers being pragmatic with figures that are going to be achieved.
There is no doubt that the best presented properties, or any just that little bit different are attracting the most interest and will sell the best.
Stock levels continue to be high, with the market being flooded with one and two bed flats across the area. At the moment, first time buyers are able to buy flats at prices not seen for many years, so purchasers should consider buying now, before they miss out.
Lettings update
The winter market in Dyce enjoyed a strong end to the year and the first three months of 2019 started very well, with tenant activity increasing through January, February and March.
Interest is being achieved in all areas within Dyce market and tenants are looking at one bedroom flats up to large family homes. There also appears to be more people moving into the area, which is encouraging.
Properties which are leasing quickly are modern two bedroom flats with parking, achieving in the region of £550, and larger 4 bedroom family homes which are renting for around £1000 mark.
Rents are still relatively low, compared to a few years back, however if the properties are well-presented and rental prices realistic, the property will rent quickly.
The Spring period is traditionally a busy one and the inidcations are that the early positive signs for 2019 should continue, subject to any dramatic Brexit issues.
The Dyce leasing market is unlikely to return to the high rentals previous achieved, however we feel the rental figures have stabilized and don't envisage any further significant downturn.

Do your homework, because there's a cruise for every travelling type – though if you get on the wrong style of ship, you'll be disappointed. Each varies considerably in size, amenities, luxury levels, clientele and fun levels versus relaxation. The biggest ships are family-friendly floating resorts with abundant pastimes and dining and entertainment choices. Small luxury ships emphasise culture, enrichment programs and time in port, while expedition ships venture to remote, less visited destinations.
Check all your inclusions before you book. A benefit of cruising is the upfront, all-in fare, so you know in advance exactly how much your holiday costs. You'll get accommodation, food, entertainment and kids' clubs for free. You'll have to be canny not to spend more, however. Mainstream ocean-cruise lines charge extra for shore excursions, premium dining, tipping and alcohol. If you're a big drinker, a prepaid drinks package might work out cheaper.
Book early (ideally a year in advance) to bag a bargain. Last-minute deals are becoming rare. You'll get better prices on a company's older ships, on repositioning cruises, and outside school holidays, the Christmas period, and July-August in Europe. Many Americans holiday over President's Day in late February, creating a bump in fare prices. In Australia, October-April is high season, April-May is shoulder season. Worldwide, September is the best-priced month for cruising.
Book a year in advance on rivers as well to guarantee savings (often 25-50 per cent) and your choice of cabin. There are often early-booking discounts and specials such as complimentary flights and cabin upgrades. There are occasionally deals for solo travellers. High season on rivers isn't the same as on oceans. The busiest months for European river cruising are May, June and September, with a resurgence in December for Christmas market itineraries.
Ships can have confusing cabin varieties. Like hotel rooms, the bigger the room and better the amenities, the more the cost. Top deck cabins attract a premium price, even though lower (and mid-ship) cabins suffer less from ship movement. Suites and cabins with balconies are the most expensive, but if you like socialising and enjoy on-board entertainments then a balcony can be a pointless extravagance, and you should consider a bargain-priced inside (windowless) cabin.
While shore excursions are included on most river cruises, they usually cost extra on ocean cruises. Standard city tours are often overpriced, and if the cruise terminal is conveniently located it can be much cheaper and more enjoyable to tour yourself. You'd do much better to spend your money on alternative shore excursions such as trips inland, activities such as diving or cycling that require equipment, or "insider" tours with experts.
If you want more port time, book a river cruise in the downstream direction since, aided by the current, ships spend less time sailing. Don't feel as if you have to stick to the tour schedule. River ships nearly always dock right in town centres, and it's easy to get off and explore by yourself, or stay on after tours. Early morning or post-dinner walks can be especially rewarding, and your port less tourist crowded.
If you imagine cruising involves fancy clothes and tuxedos, you're out of date. Most cruise ships – even luxury ones – are increasingly informal. Casual clothing is generally fine, smart casual does for evenings in restaurants – occasionally a jacket is required, but seldom a tie. Some cruise ships have "cruise elegant-' evenings, but these will be confined to certain areas and dining venues. Colour co-ordinate your wardrobe and accessorise to save suitcase space.
Special-needs travellers shouldn't be put off cruising, although even the most thoughtful ship will have inaccessible areas. Avoid older ships; newer ships are far more disabled-friendly and most have cabins with more manoeuvring space, roll-in showers, telecommunications for the hearing impaired and the like. Many companies have webpages devoted to special-needs information, and sometimes an information phone number. Celebrity, Holland-America, Norwegian, Princess and Royal Caribbean rate well for accessibility features.
Nothing bothers Australians more than tipping. Although many river and some luxury-end ocean ships include gratuities in the fare, American-style tipping prevails elsewhere. Most companies automatically add a gratuity to your final bill so you don't have to work it out yourself. If you insist, it will be removed. Expect to pay about $US12 per person per day in tips. Many people separately (and directly) tip their cabin housekeeper; consider $US5 per day.

Q: Dynamically Registering a BroadcastReceiver for ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED not working? My Broadcast receiver is not restarting the service after a reboot or startup of my phone.
My Receiver class code:
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    {
        Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
        context.startService(serviceIntent);
    }
}

My Service class code that registers the receiver in the onStartCommand() method:
myReceiver = new MyReceiver();
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED");
registerReceiver(myReceiver, intentFilter);

I cannot register the receiver in my Android manifest because I can only have this broadcast receiver be registered under certain conditions outlined in my Service class. I have enabled
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>

in my Android manifest file however.

A: It won't work. The only way to get ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED broadcasts is via a manifest-registered BroadcastReceiver.

The inaugural Bay Area Book Festival, held this weekend, brought dozens of families to the Berkeley Public Library to listen to a reading of UC Berkeley's first children's book, Snackers and the Mysterious Search, printed by Snapfish.
The book was written by members of Berkeley United in Literacy Development, or BUILD, a mentorship program of the UC Berkeley Public Service Center. Each semester the program matches more than 200 Berkeley students with young readers at elementary schools in Berkeley and Oakland.
The story follows a pair of squirrels, Snackers and Snackalot, as they track mysterious footprints from their home in Eucalyptus Grove across the campus on a quest to find an elusive bear. On their journey, they discover a bunch of kid-friendly places, like a dinosaur cast at the Valley Life Sciences Building and the hidden bear statue on South Hall.
Snackers and Snackalot aren't the only squirrels in Eucalyptus Grove. Turns out, quite a few real-life squirrels on campus actually have names — like Flame, Whale, even Justin Timberlake — given to them by the scientists who study them. Most of the squirrels they study — usually around 40 to 50 at a time — have distinct markings, like a misshapen tooth or a partially missing tail, which allows scientists to keep track of them over several years.
Now, when young readers visit campus, they'll have many squirrel friends to show them around.
Here's a photo slideshow of a live performance of the book that took place on campus last month.

Bossier City Chef to Compete in 2016 Louisiana Seafood Cook-off
Home»Bossier City Chef to Compete in 2016 Louisiana Seafood Cook-off
From BPT Online
Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser and the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board (LSPMB) will host the Louisiana Seafood Cook-Off this weekend, on Saturday, May 28, 2016.
The ninth annual cook-off will showcase the talent of eleven chefs from various cities across the state of Louisiana, each vying for the title of King or Queen of Louisiana Seafood.
The chefs are ready to take the stage at the prestigious competition, held at the New Orleans Wine and Food Experience (NOWFE) in the Ernest M. Morial Convention Center. Among them is Chef Frederick Ngo of Bossier City. Ngo is currently the chef at Jimmy's Seafood & Steak and has more than 30 years food service experience in many locations around the world.
Originally from Vietnam, Ngo learned his love of the culinary arts at a young age in his family's restaurant. Realizing his budding passion, he later apprenticed French, German and Italian chefs. Ngo left Vietnam and went to work on the West Coast at several prestigious companies to include Lufthansa where he was an Executive Sous Chef.

Britain transported many convicts in the 18th and 19th centuries. Banishment is a more general description of the British practice of transportation.
Useful and reasonably consistent prison statistics for England and Wales are available by county from 1780.
Branding, whipping, and transportation ended. Imprisonment became the dominant sentence of punishment.
Scottish males sentenced to penal servitude were sent to prisons in England from 1855 through about 1892.
A Scottish male convict could get one-fourth of his sentence remitted, while a Scottish female convict could get one-third of her sentence remitted.
British convicts actually transported to Australia had transportation sentences averaging 15.8 and 10.1 years for males and females, respectively.
New media technologies greatly extended democratic deliberation in Britain beginning in the 1920s.
The ratio of men to women in prison in England and Wales was about 18 in 2000. Major justice reform recommendations would increase that gender inequality.
Scotland centralized prison administration in 1839. Similar reform in England did not occur until 1877.
Across the 18th and 19th centuries, Scotland banished (transported) many fewer offenders on a per capita basis than did England in Wales.


Please take the time to enjoy a very short story on Twitter. It is an abridged version of my flash-fiction tale, "Another Wrong World." It is delivered in 25 tweets, with illustrations attached to every other tweet, and the connecting hashtag #wrongworld to bring it together. So each tweet is either around 100 characters or 125 characters, depending on whether it has an illustration.
The illustrations are very simple–an asteroid field with a neon "Cocktails" sign. In sequence, the sign spins and makes a full circle by the end of the story. Here is a slide presentation of the illustrations. The images credit belongs to Dollar Photo Club (V.P. for the asteroid field and Laz'e-Pete for the neon sign).
This quick project is not as ambitious as those Twitter stories that unfold in a single tweet (140 characters). But it's a fun way to get it out there.
"Another Wrong World," is the title story to my e-book anthology, Another Wrong World — and other off beat tales, available on Amazon. It is also available in print and e-format in the themed anthology In Vino Veritas. In addition, the story is slated to become part of an audio anthology in the near future.
So if you are on Twitter, I hope you enjoy it, and please feel free to retweet.

No wait, that guy lived with me for a while.
I get it — and, unlike him, I have hair. I'm afraid he left a lasting smell on my tresses (ha ha). He was a true sociopath. But it was a good learning experience.
I think his sister dated my brother.
Depending on how you feel about your brother that is either terrible news or just desserts. Either way, he has my sympathies in as far as you would like me to extend them!
Perfect response. Does my ambivalent relationship with my brother show that much?
No, but I might have been projecting my feelings on you. I'm afraid I take my baggage everywhere I go.
Well that is some lousy luck K. YEESH.
He did a great version of it with the band Cream. I am that old, yes, I am.
ACK !! Those things tormented my daughter when she was in the 7th grade- what a pain !
Torment is a good word for it. Though, we caught it early. Still cleaning everything you own twice over is a pain, to say the least.
Apparently they don't actually like beard hair. So you made your gallant sacrifice for nothing. That said, I'm seriously squeamish about these bastards, now that they've started hatching. (Apparently there's nothing short of a nuclear option to kill them.) My kid won't tolerate the professional steam cleaning approach. So I'm basically fighting against germ warfare and trying not to get reinfected at the same time. This is going to be a very long two weeks.
Yes, I totally remember the struggle — but you will win out in the end !!! Sorry you're having to deal with it, at all !
Ohhhh, BEEN THERE! One of our daughters brought them home from a birthday party, where she caught it playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey. We know this, because everybody at the party (except one girl) had nits in bands around their heads where the blindfold was tied. The one who didn't have nits in a band around her head was the one who had them ALL OVER her head. Ugh. Well, it happens. Just one of those wonderful moments in parenting.
I'm going to try not to get paranoid about it, but I wasn't kidding about how expensive this was. If it happens again, I'm going to shave my head and eschew hugging.
And don't play anything that involves sharing a blindfold.

More than 100 Illegal Immigrants Deported from Libya
in Best of Africa, Holiday and Travels
by MT October 15, 2019, 8:31 am
Libya's Immigration Control Department in the eastern city of Benghazi on Monday announced the deportation of more than 100 illegal immigrants to Egypt and Nigeria.
The department said that 98 immigrants of Egyptian nationality were deported from Benghazi to Egypt, and 13 Nigerian immigrants to their country.
The International Organization for Migration said on Sunday that there are more than 650,000 illegal immigrants in Libya and about 6,000 of them are being held in detention centers, including women and children.
Thousands of illegal immigrants, mostly Africans, choose to cross the Mediterranean Sea towards Europe from Libya since the country has been mired in insecurity and chaos ever since the fall of its former leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
Shelters in Libya are crowded with thousands of migrants rescued at sea or arrested by the Libyan security services, despite international calls for closing those centers.

Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), owner of arguably the most important stock exchange in the world, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), is introducing a new company, Bakkt. The idea is to weave bitcoin core (BTC) into 401(k)s, credit cards, and retail. The project is getting a lot of hype due in large measure to two very powerful backers: Microsoft and Starbucks. Is this the mainstreaming ecosystem enthusiasts have been urging?
ICE quietly owns and operates two dozen regulated markets and exchanges, from the United States and Canada to Europe. It also holds clearing houses in the Netherlands, Singapore, greater Europe, the US, and Canada as well. It has revenues well in excess of $5.5 billion. It's also the parent company for the NYSE, an exchange with great prestige among traditional finance: the NYSE is 226 years old, and is easily the globe's biggest exchange by market cap, some $21.3 trillion as of last summer.
Ms. Loeffler told Fortune how for over a year ICE built Bakkt in secrecy. The company name is a twist on asset backed securities, Bakkt, which by design is to engender trust. And trust is everything in the legacy marketplace, but it has a decidedly different meaning in the cryptocurrency world. Trust on Wall Street usually means regulations, and lots of them.
Indeed, by late Fall this year, Bakkt hopes to have a fully federally regulated space for all things BTC. Fortune notes how "ICE aims to transform Bitcoin into a trusted global currency with broad usage." That's an interesting admission for enthusiasts wondering what Wall Street is ultimately up to with this enormous announcement and marketing/public relations campaign. Trust in the Bitcoin Core ecosystem is established through mathematics, voluntary adoption, by completely bypassing third party fragility, frictions, and gatekeepers for which legacy finance is famous.
"By combining regulated infrastructure with institutional and consumer applications," Ms. Loeffler continues, "we'll apply our track record of bringing transparency and trust to previously unregulated markets. In this way, we intend to play a key role in boosting institutional, merchant and consumer participation in digital assets." Investment, also according to Fortune, includes Boston Consulting Group, Fortress Investment Group, Eagle Seven, and Susquehanna International Group in addition to better known brands Starbucks and Microsoft.
Fortune believes the bigger move Bakkt is proposing involves everyday retail ventures. "Using Bitcoin [Core] to streamline and disrupt the world of retail payments," the magazine stressed, "by moving consumers from swiping credit cards to scanning their [BTC] apps. The market opportunity is gigantic: Consumers worldwide are paying lofty credit card or online-shopping fees on $25 trillion a year in annual purchases." Both Microsoft customers and Starbucks customers are very familiar with digital, smartphone related transactions. Transitioning over to BTC, with institutional blessing, should be a snap, ICE is assuming.
Is bringing Wall Street into crypto a good thing? Let us know in the comments section below.

Calling out a few of over 35 cities that have advanced in the Bloomberg Mayors Challenge, a nationwide competition to create innovative solutions for shared problems faced by municipal governments. With the struggle of the national administration to drive innovation state governors and city mayors are leading the way.
In attempting to help the local homeless population, outreach workers in Austin, Texas, often struggle to catalogue, access and share information about individuals they interact with. Forty-plus nonprofits and 20-some government agencies in Austin lack a central mechanism for accurate data sharing about the homeless individuals they serve. In addition, to personal documentation such as medical records or even social security cards. Technology has previously reported. Austin, however, is working on a pilot program that uses blockchain to make it easier for homeless individuals to provide information about themselves. City officials say this is likely a first-of-its-kind use case for blockchain, one with the potential to be scaled to other cities throughout the nation.
The program that Cheyenne will soon pilot with support from Bloomberg seeks to speed up revitalization of these empty properties by matching their owners with local entrepreneurs in need of work space. City officials in Cheyenne have so far identified 17 vacant commercial buildings and 10 partially full buildings as candidates for the work, which involves creating a new website that would connect the owners and entrepreneurs and also potentially facilitate crowdfunding for their projects. The goal for Cheyenne is to have a pilot version of the site up by July, with a full-version to follow by early 2019.
Is looking at existing city data to identify gaps in equality in the community, with an ultimate goal of working to facilitate change. Their project is, in part, a citywide census of community data that has an ultimate goal of creating a mechanism for stakeholders in the city to apply for more grant moneys. The goal to really work with the different segments of our community that are affected by poverty. We believe that out of this will come some great applications for our businesses to fill out one type of application for all of the funds that are available from nonprofits.
Is eeking to find child-centered solutions for youth offenders that focus more on service-oriented solutions than on sending them to regular police precincts for booking.
To do this, Philadelphia wants to create a Hub for Juvenile Justice Services, one that would serve as a national model for how children are treated within the criminal justice system. The goal of the hub would be a "24/7 integrated service center that is trauma-informed and technology driven. Staff at the hub would be trained in how to respond to youth and families, as well as on how to make referrals to prevention or other social service programs when appropriate. It would be a preventative, non-police facility to provide juveniles with both immediate and long-term access to social services and diversion programs.
Is launching a pilot program that would build on a recently installed gunshot detection system to quickly dispatch aerial drones to potential shootings. This program, which has already made headlines, would likely be the first of its kind in the country, and it was developed as a collaboration between the city's Office for Civic Innovation, its police department, and several community partners. City officials said that through this program aerial drones could help officers investigate incidents by capturing critical evidence at crime scenes before investigators arrive. The mobile nature of the drones would also allay privacy concerns that arise from static cameras.
Internet of Things (IOT) continues to grow rapidly enabled by the internet, cloud computing, sensors, and cell phones. A rapidly growing subcategory is the Location of Things (LOT) with is expected to reach $71.6B by 2025. LOT is focused on connected devices enables connected devices to communicate their geographic location. This is creating new forms of big data and analytics that many companies are eager to collect and leverage. North America and Europe accounted for the majority share in the location of things markets today but Asia is growing rapidly.
I attended the February PDMA event hosted at Optum. The Minneapolis chapter had arranged both a tour of the Optum facility and a panel discussion on the intersection of Product Management, Product Development, and Data Analytics. The event started with a networking session while tours were conducted. The tour featured several customer showcase areas. The first was visiting a large digital analytics command room that was several stories tall and covered in monitors with real-time information showing a vast amount of healthcare related actives across the united states. This room could be used to monitor the outbreaks and spreading of disease and the activities of the healthcare providers. It allows Optum to actively support the healthcare system with early identification of trends and coordination of activities. We headed into a detailed analytics room that featured individual station with large interactive touch screens. Our tour guides took use through numerous analytics scenarios with real-time drill down into trends, treatments, and member services that were possible with the depth of data they have been able to integrate and create the capabilities to explore and interact with data. This section of the tour concluded in a large surround screen video experience around the future of healthcare.
It was highly stressed that many data projects fail and the root cause is the lack of defining what value you want to get out of the data up front. Meaning you have to define the questions you are trying to answer before getting lost in analysis. While data analysis can also discover anomalies and trends along the way, that should be secondary to understanding what you are trying to learn from it. The questions also help define the "right" data you want vs. getting overwhelmed with studying "all" the data. In the end, your looking for the problem that your product/service can solve, not the offering itself in the data.
I look forward to attending more events and more networking!
I attended the 2014 Minneapolis CDO Executive Summit as a guest of the MN State CIO and Director of Innovation. The event featured an extensive number of speakers sharing their experiences in establishing practices around data aggregation and analytics. The real world perspectives from corporate professions was very insightful to the challenges and levels of investment required to make these initiatives successful. As I'm currently working on extensive models around data & analytics regarding economic development and innovation metrics I found the networking opportunities at the event invaluable and have led to a number of working groups that continue on since the event.
These are new capabilities that have to be developed. Not to be confused with existing IT data organizations that are maintaining operational systems. It takes more time, money, and commitment than most organization understand and will require most areas of the company to participate vs. an isolated team approach.
Funding the practice will span not only technology, but a wide range of skills sets from data architecture, system integration, analytics, etc. Many companies underestimate the amount of time/cost business subject matter experts will need to be involve and participate in developing the insights that come from the analytics.
While existing system integration seems like a large task, there is a significant amount of information and meta data that your organization has NOT been capturing over the past decades. One mitigation approach is to find strategic partnerships that can leverage their data to create combined data sets that are vastly more valuable than a single organization and can cover history data gaps.
Integrating to public data sources is a vastly under utilized resource. Many state governments are working to improve systems, apis and crowdsourcing efforts to create more value out of this data. I have also seen companies create portions of internal data and created their own public share. This has paid big dividends in terms of the crowdsourcing solutions that have come out of that data and the strategic partnerships that it has attracted.
An organization should not under estimate the value of analytics of data outside of ones core customer demographics. It might be the key to understand what you don't know about the market and customer needs.
Channel data is a frequent point for data collection investments, but many orgs fail to capture the data for cross channel analytics.
Look past just the data in the channel, but into the value chain of systems, orgs, and partners that the channels trigger. Many organizations do not understand the operational considerations that channel activation puts on their own organizations. Especially when adding new channels.
Partner and supply chain data is a great source of understanding the capabilities of your partners during times of crisis, economic instability and market disruptions. Look for those anomalies to understand how better to support the strengths and weaknesses in your own business ecosystem. Pilot additional partners to compare performance and capability variences.
While many companies are focused heavily on the business analytics, perhaps of of the biggest areas of corporate improvement comes from the aggregation and analytics of internal collaboration of systems and departments. I've seen great organization strategies come from the study of internal communication, spending, budgeting, governance, project planning, and project outcomes metrics just to name a few. How good a dashboard to you have in watching organizational behavior and performance over time. What data are you not capturing about your own organization today?
One of the most frequent differences that I found working crossed thousands of organizations was the fact that companies didn't really understand the maturity levels of their competition in this area. Most companies would attend a conference and come away feeling that everyone was struggling with similar problems. While this is likely true, they where missing the point that other orgs had already committed significant investment to the aggregation of data even though they where still very immature in their capabilities to exploit it. In many cases they didn't realize their competition already had gained years of data collection in new and strategic data partnerships and they hadn't even begun yet. Most fail to consider the value of time in terms of data collection. It is hard to go back in time and get the data you failed to capture and your falling behind every day that passes.
In future blogs I will dive more deeply into each of these considerations to explore how different organizations approached each area and what outcomes came for their efforts.
I was recently a co-speaker at the KPMG Innovation Council along with the Minnesota State Director of Innovation James Kauth. Our presentations both talked about data initiatives underlying economic development. This lead to a follow on meeting with the Minnesota State CIO Carolyn Parnell. I was able to present the full scope of the North Star Initiative to create innovation centers and highlighted to opportunities of building a data portfolio covering all aspects of the innovation process and sector activities.
There was good synergy between the state's initiatives to make more sources of public data available via apis to drive innovation and see what creative ideas could be generated with the new data sources. The data the innovation centers would both enrich that base of public data and we could see direct mapping opportunities liking data around corporate employee and revenue growth to companies involved with the innovation centers over the long term. This would provide more data and insights into which sectors in the region where both innovating and prospering and help attract more interest to the region.
Finding grant support for fund a pilot to integrate the data platforms would be a key next step.
I attended an executive salon event hosted by one of the global marketing agencies in Minneapolis. The theme of the presentations focused on the roles of aggregating social data for big data analysis. Two concepts jumps out during the conversation that drove most of the post presentation discussions.
The first was the topic of cross linking social accounts with corporate CRM systems. This was starting to expand a big data picture of the customer. While this is common practice today, they extended the concept to include cross liking with other identity sources such as LinkedIn or Public Tax Records. This started to create a vastly larger profile set of individuals outside of your customer base. These larger sets of profiles could be used to identify trends and patterns that could be leveraged for approach and enticing new customers to your brand or new offerings.
The second topic built on the first but was much more elaborate. They had some guest speakers from new ISVs that where building tools for markets to access a massive big data pool that had been assembling. Several years prior they had launched a backend platform that was constantly listening and recording many social media channels. The platform would be analyzing the content and generating additional meta data and tagging of content to aid in ongoing analysis. An elaborate architecture of meta tag hierarchies where defined to provide categorization of subject matters. Even more impressive was the ontologies that where defined between the hierarchies to cross relate topics. The end result in the analysis seemed to be an enormous multiplier in the ability to cross-relate cross channel data and inter-relate thematic trends and insights. Since seeing this demo I've noticed several new companies building out these types of solutions. While the science side of the platforms to do this is fairly straight forward it is the Art of creating the inter-relationships of the ontologies across the hierarchies that will define the state-of-the-art of competitive analysis.

Biografia
Era figlia di Giovanni Trivulzio (?-1508), consignore di Borgomanero, e di Angiola Martinengo di Brescia.

All'età di sette anni i genitori la indirizzarono allo studio delle lettere e a dodici anni già recitava.

Venne citata dal poeta Ludovico Ariosto nel canto XLVI dell'Orlando furioso.

Nel 1500 avviò la costruzione del Convento di Santa Maria delle Grazie a Montechiarugolo, per volere del suocero, il conte Marsilio Torelli. Nel 1519 decise di affidare il monastero ai frati francescani, dopo averne ottenuto il consenso da parte del papa Leone X. Nel 1512 resse con avvedutezza il feudo di Montechiarugolo, quando il marito Francesco decise di seguire le bandiere del re di Francia Luigi XII di Francia. Alla morte di Francesco nel 1518, resse per dieci anni la contea di Montechiarugolo col figlio minore Paolo.

Morì a Parma nel 1527.

Discendenza
Damigella sposò nel 1499 Francesco Torelli, conte di Montechiarugolo e si stabilì nel castello. Ebbero cinque figli:
 Paolo (1509-1545), conte di Montechiarugolo
 Paola (1500-?), sposò Giampietro da Barbiano
 Anastasia
 Orsina (1506-?)
 Angela, sposò Venceslao Rangoni

Tyler Seguin 'disappointed' in lack of contract talks with Stars
Dallas Stars superstar Tyler Seguin hoped to have some good contract news this late in the offseason, but says he's just focused on having a strong year and going deep into the playoffs.
Luke Fox | @lukefoxjukebox August 28, 2018, 2:17 PM
Luke Fox @lukefoxjukebox August 28, 2018, 2:17 PM
TORONTO – Tyler Seguin just threw the ball into general manager Jim Nill's court.
The Dallas Stars' top centre stood before rolling cameras Tuesday and said four times that he feels "disappointed" serious negotiations have not begun towards a long-term extension in Dallas.
The sides, he said, spoke informally at the draft in late June but no advancement toward a new contract has been made since.
"Nothing's really going on," Seguin said. "It's been a little disappointing. I thought I'd have some exciting news to talk about at BioSteel Camp, especially this late in the summer. It's been disappointing. But at the end of the day, I obviously have one year left here. I'm just going to focus on that."
Seguin, 26, is about to enter the final year of the six-year, $34.5-million pact he made back in 2012 with the Boston Bruins, with whom he won a Stanley Cup. He scored a career-high 40 goals and put up 78 points in 2017-18 with the Stars and is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
Seguin's current deal carries a team-friendly $5.75-millon cap hit. With the league's salary cap rising annually, the player — who's always had a knack for the promoting his personal brand — could double his paycheques come 2019-20, whoever signs them.
Judging by Seguin's production, position and age, he would be in line for the type of bidding war and raise John Tavares received when the fellow Torontonian hit the open market and signed with the Maple Leafs to the tune of $77 million.
For comparison's sake, the last time a Dallas all-star became available for a max-term extension, it took Nill all of two weeks to lock up team captain and Seguin's friend and linemate, Jamie Benn, with an eight-year, $76-million windfall on July 16, 2016.
"I wasn't really expecting this," said Seguin, who has yet to consider whether he'll be willing to negotiate in-season. "The expectations were that it would be earlier in the summer."
But the summer of 2016, when Benn re-upped, is not the summer of 2018.
Tavares's decision to become the highest-profile salary-cap-era hockey star to voluntarily switch colours in his prime has forced us to look at the Seguin situation in a new light, and the Stars have been active elsewhere.
Nill and the Stars, interestingly, were a finalist in the Tavares sweepstakes and have been among this summer's reported front-runners to land Norris-winning defenceman Erik Karlsson (also UFA in 2019) via trade.
"You see rumours like that every day. I try to take it like winning and losing — even keel. That would be awesome," Seguin said of a potential Karlsson deal. "If it doesn't happen, I don't want to be crushed. I think it's great for our organization, our city and our team that players do want to go.
"Even if we didn't have long negotiations with Tavares, at least he called and said he was interested. It's saying something for our team and our organization, and it's all positive."
Seguin has played all of seven playoff games since being traded to Dallas five years ago (compared to 42 in just three seasons with Boston), and the Stars have missed the playoffs two springs running.
Nill's hectic off-season featured the installation of a rookie head coach in Jim Montgomery, welcoming back Valeri Nichushkin from Russia, and adding depth UFAs like Blake Comeau, Roman Polak and Anton Khudobin.
If Seguin remains unsigned by July, he will no doubt become the most coveted forward in 2019's NHL free agency. The message he's broadcasting is that he'd prefer to stay, and he'd also prefer to win.
"Dallas has been home. I've been comfortable in Dallas since I got down there," Seguin said.
"At the end of the day, I want to win. I want to get back in those playoffs and be successful, and I think we've got the right group to do it this year."
So, Tyler Seguin, despite your love for Dallas, can you envision going the Tavares route in 10 months' time?
"I envision giving my all this year and getting back to the playoffs," Seguin deked.
"It's been a long few summers of no deep runs, and the goal since I touched down in Dallas was to get deep in the playoffs and hopefully win. So that's my focus."
Tyler Seguin's contract talks with Stars remain at a standstill

Revision of the benefits in kind
On account of the changeover to the more realistic WLTP method of measurement, the CO2 emission figures will be much higher than before as of 2020. In order to prevent any added tax burden on employees, the limits for CO2 emission have been adjusted as follows for the classification of the benefits in kind:
Year of first registration Maximum CO2 emission value
2020 141 grams per kilometer
from 2025 126 grams per kilometer
The CO2 emissions limit in the calendar year of the first registration is decisive when determining the benefits in kind.
The CO2 emission of 141 grams per kilometre applies in the calendar year 2020 for motor vehicles first registered after 31 March 2020 and will be reduced by 3 grams every year up until the calendar year 2025.
The following thus applies: The CO2 limit for newly registered vehicles with the cut-off date 01 April 2020 is 141 grams per kilometre. Consequently, vehicles with a first registration from 01.04.2020 and a CO2 emission from 142g/km will be taxed at 2% of the acquisition costs (maximum EUR 960 per month). Vehicles with max. CO2 values up to 141g/km will be rated as 1.5% benefits in kind or a max. of EUR 720 a month.
The former regulation remains applicable for vehicles registered for the first time before 31 March 2020. This means: The limit of 121 grams of CO2 per kilometre applies for vehicles registered before the end of 2019, for vehicles registered between 1 January 2020 and 31 March 2020, the limit drops to 118 grams of CO2 per kilometre (according to the old measurement method).
These changes do not apply for old vehicles already on the roads.
NoVA & insurance tax based on engine size
In future, the equation (CO2 in g/km – 115) / 5 will be used to calculate the tax rate as a percentage for the NoVA, whereby the maximum tax rate is 32% and EUR 350 must be deducted as a fixed sum (so-called NoVA bonus). As of 1 January 2021, the value of 115g/km will be reduced by 3 grams every year.
Purely electric vehicles remain exempted from the NoVA.
IMPORTANT: The new NoVA regulation is mandatory for vehicles ordered after 1 December 2019 and delivered after 1 January 2020.
The insurance tax based on engine size will change on 1 October 2020 and in future will be calculated using the equation (kW-65) * 0.72 + (CO2 - 115) * 0.72. The minimum monthly tax rate has been set at EUR 7.20. The previous surcharges for monthly, quarterly and semi-annul payments will no longer apply in future for vehicles registered for the first time after 1 October 2020. As of 2021, the CO2 value will drop annually by 3 g/km and the engine power by 1 kW.
Purely electric vehicles remain exempted from the insurance tax based on engine size.

"Is a tightness test mandatory?"
"Landlords have TWO separate and distinct duties: – A safety check of their appliances – Ongoing maintenance of their appliances, flues and pipework • As an engineer, it is recommended you undertake a tightness test to assist landlords in their maintenance duties – but it is not mandatory unless you have broken into a gasway that necessitates an installation tightness test (see Technical Bulletin 046: Gas tightness testing requirements for examples). • If you do not undertake a tightness test, record this on your documentation to advise the landlord – it does not prevent you from undertaking safety checks on the appliance(s)."

Q: Formatting T-SQL in SSMS 2012 According to this Microsoft document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174205.aspx
I am supposed to be able to use ctrl+K then ctrl+D to format my SQL documents in SQL Server Management Studio 2012 but when I use that combo I get the error:

The key combination (Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D) is bound to command (Format
  Document) which is not currently available.

I am trying to make modifications to an existing SQL document that has no formatting to it at all which makes it extremely difficult to read. Does anyone know how to make the Format Document command available so I can have SQL format this code for me?

A: Install an add-on that does this. I use the Free Edition of SQL Complete: http://www.devart.com/dbforge/sql/sqlcomplete/ which offers some basic SQL formatting functionality. It integrates with SSMS and uses Ctrl + K, D.

A: The keyboard combination you're after (Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D) is for "formatting" - but not to the extent you seem to expect. It is not a prettifier, it is just used to insert correct spacing and tabs as found in Tools > Options >  Text Editor > Transact-SQL > General/Tabs - so if you highlight a portion of text and hit the keyboard combination, it is supposed to convert tabs to 4 spaces (if you've selected insert spaces), apply the type of indenting you've specified, etc.
This option is NOT intended to make code more readable - this is not functionality that Management Studio currently offers natively. Though there are several 3rd party options - some are external to Management Studio, like:

*

*Simple-Talk's SQL Prettifier

*Poor SQL (which Thomas suggested)

And there are add-ins as well for various levels of formatting assistance within the editor:

*

*Red-Gate's SQL Prompt

*SSMS Tools Pack

*ApexSQL's Refactor

*SSMSBoost

*dbForge SQL Complete (which Robert suggested)

Now, the reason you are getting the message...

The key combination (Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D) is bound to command (Format Document) which is not currently available.

...is because SSMS has mapped that key combination to a different context. The way you should be able to "fix" this - again, it still wouldn't do what you want it to do, even if the "fix" worked - is by doing the following:

*

*Go to Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard

*Place your cursor into the Press shortcut keys: box

*Hit Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D

*Change the Shortcut currently used by: drop-down from DataWarehouse Designer to Text Editor

*Press OK
Now, this is supposed to map the keyboard combination to the text editor, but Management Studio reverts it after hitting OK (you will continue to get the error message. So, I think the problem is that the documentation believes this functionality exists, but Management Studio knows better and simply doesn't offer it (and Microsoft will likely write this off as a bug in the documentation, and correct it, rather than a shortcoming in the tool). There may be hope in the future but, for now, this is a known and largely ignored issue. You'll note that the Formatting tab that the documentation refers to is simply not present (though it is there for XML, where the keyboard combination does work). The documentation should probably state:

Applies the indenting and space formatting for the language specified on the Formatting pane of the language in the Text Editor section of the Options dialog. Available only in the text editor and only for certain languages.

Another way to get an idea of what type of formatting options SSMS offers natively is to go to Tools > Customize > Commands > Edit > Add Command... > Format and look at the list of possible commands there. Nothing that indicates there is any knowledge of the actual language, so it wouldn't know where to insert line breaks or add additional indents or assist with parentheses etc.

If you want language-specific formatting to make existing T-SQL code more readable, you won't get much from SSMS, and you'll need to seek other options.

A: SqlSmash is a commercial tool that lets you format your SQL (and much more) in SSMS 2012 and 2014. The default keyboard shortcut is (Ctrl + K, Ctrl + D).
Disclaimer: I am the developer behind it.

A: I don't believe this is possible in SSMS.  There was a Connect item opened up for this feature.
What I personally like to use for poorly formatted SQL code is the web application on Poor SQL.  It does a really nice job of formatting SQL code to your specifications.  Even generates HTML if you so desire.  I don't use the SSMS plug-in or any other deliverables they advertise, I always just hop on the site to do the quick formatting and then copy/paste right into SSMS.

Some of us crave the sea; we yearn for its broad vistas, its salty mists, the rolling, joyous rise of its swells - and we plot to spend our spare days seaside.
This volume of poetry is written for fellow sea-lovers who, at vacation's end, would surely take the sea home with them if only they could.
It is my hope that when they read these poems they will almost feel sea breezes stirring their hair. . . will practically hear gulls' cries and crashing surf at dawn. . . that through these poems they will indeed be able to Take Home the Sea.
Take Home the Sea is a charming collection of seaward poetry, written for those who love the sea. The poems are replete with ocean breezes, the crash of surf, and the cries of sea gulls; on a wintry night, Take Home the Sea will warm your heart.

Sometimes You Just Need A Combat
My L5R game on Friday was pretty short. It wasn't really anyone's fault. Life just conspired to keep most of the players away through when we normally begin, and then the normal social time before game began took a little long. However, because of that short time something I didn't realize was needed happened in the game. We had a combat.
Looking back on the session and the game it is pretty easy and obvious to see a combat was needed. Everyone in the game is playing a combat character, and we haven't had a fight in nearly six sessions or more as the group has been tied up with more political things. More to the point though, the group had recovered and been training but their last fight had been a big battle where most of the PCs - while gaining tons of glory and fame - had been pulled out of the fight close to dead with one of their number actually dead for really reals.
With that in mind, and with about half a session to play with, I brought the group into a situation where they could be fully geared up and got into a fight. I threw a horde of zombies at them and a maho tsukai (blood magic user) as a leader. The zombies let me use a lot of bad guys so the PCs could feel good about hitting often and doing damage while I could still have attacks for threat. The maho tsukai gave a clear leader for them to look at.
So what happened? The new person in the group got to show off how he fights. The players got to see how their characters worked in a fight again. best of all, they were reminded that there are areas - useful areas - where they are bad asses (they're all about Rank 4-5 so being bad ass is deserved and expected. :) )
The fight wasn't what I had planned, but it was still good to be there. Characters got to let off some steam. Players got to feel cool. They got to fight against something that was clearly evil. It was a tension break without actually killing the mood of what else was going on.
So keep it in mind. Sessions without combat can be great. Sometimes though, you just need a combat.

This is so true. With most games, as important as story is, combat is a critical component of players' (& GM's) fun.
