Detecting the Flavors of Important Elements With Neutron Depth Profiling
Nov 17, 2021·7 min read
Jamie Weaver, Radioanalytical Chemist, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
The first five minutes of any presentation I give on neutron depth profiling are usually met with blank stares from my audience. This, I hope, is not something about me, but rather due to the audience's lack of familiarity with the topic. Neutron depth profiling, which is always shortened to NDP, is a little-known technique that belongs to the rarefied field of radiochemistry. In recent decades, general scientific familiarity with radiochemistry and associated analytical methods has dwindled to near non-existent levels as it is now rarely taught in undergraduate science courses. Case in point, during the introduction for a talk I was giving at a well-attended nuclear science conference three years ago, the organizer stopped mid-sentence after reading aloud that I was a radioanalytical chemist to point out to me (and the presumably attentive audience) that I was of a dying breed. Such comments do not give one confidence in one's career choices, but well illustrate the dearth of knowledge of the field within the broader nuclear research community. However, and despite its lack of notoriety, neutron depth profiling has and continues to be a relevant materials analysis technique that produces timely, high-impact results. In this post, I aim to convince you of the accuracy of these statements.
Before delving into its applications, it is useful to explain what NDP is and how it works. Bear with me, as this will require a little nuclear science. First, what is NDP? The definition I most often give is that it is a technique that uses neutrons to measure both the amount and physical distribution of select atomic elements in a material, without destroying the material. I will explain what this means with more detail below as we go over how NDP works. At its core, an NDP measurement depends on the reaction between a neutron and an isotope of an element. As my high school chemistry teacher used to say, "If atomic elements were cookies, then isotopes would be the flavor of the cookie." Following this analogy, lithium (Li) would be the cookie and ⁶Li and ⁷Li would each be isotopic flavors of said cookie. Scientifically speaking, the difference between ⁶Li and ⁷Li isotopes is the number of neutrons held within an atom's nucleus. To date, NDP works with only a handful of isotopes, ⁶Li being one of them and the most often measured others being ³He (an isotope of helium), ¹⁰B (of boron), and ¹⁴N (of nitrogen).
It is usually at this point in my NDP talks when an audience member will ask the all-too-familiar but very important question as to why they should care about this technique if it can only measure a few elements. Wouldn't their (and by extension my) time be better spent learning about other instrumentation that can measure more of the periodic table? Well, while it is true that the pool of elements detectable by NDP is small, the elements it can measure are incredibly important to sustaining our modern lifestyles. For example, if it weren't for boron, which was an essential component of early semiconductors, we would not have personal computers (like you are presumably using to read this post) or cell phones (which I hope you are not trying to use to read this). Likewise, Li is a well-known constituent of batteries, and can be an active medical ingredient. These elements are vital to many industries, and reliable, quantitative detection of their concentrations is necessary to sustain and advance our current civilization. And while there are other techniques that can measure these elements, none can do so across the dynamic concentration range achievable by NDP and do it in a way that doesn't change or destroy the sample.
With that question answered and my second talk-induced career crisis averted, we can now return to learning the NDP reaction. This reaction occurs in three steps, which are depicted in figure 1. In step one a neutron will encounter one of the above listed isotopes. Neutrons are very penetrating, so they can produce reactions throughout the whole of a sample. Under the right conditions the neutron and isotope may react. Emphasis is on the word may here as these reactions do not occur 100% of the time. Rather, the likelihood of a reaction is isotope and condition specific. Is this because neutrons only like certain flavors of cookies? In terms of nuclear physics, the incomplete and tentative answer is yes, but deeper insight into that phenomenon will to be left to the textbooks. Because of this, not all isotopes, nor even one isotope of all elements, will react. However, and luckily for NDP, these other, insensible flavors won't interfere with us enjoying the few cookie types that can be detected.
Figure 1 — Depiction of the three-step NDP reaction. The diagramed isotopic flavor is ⁶Li, the quantity and distribution of which can be measured by NDP. This cartoon is not to scale, nor does it sufficiently reproduce the dramatic flair with which the "breaking" reaction occurs. Credit: J. Weaver/NIST
If the needed conditions are met, then the isotope will absorb the neutron to form a new, unstable entity called a compound nucleus (step two, figure 1). Like most things in the universe, this nucleus does not like being unstable. To become stable again it will energetically break apart, throwing off charged particles with specific initial energies in any direction (step three, figure 1). This is a dramatic process on the subatomic scale that can produce enough energy to push an ion very, very far. How far? One of the products from a Li neutron reaction can be thrown more than 10,000,000,000 times its diameter! This distance becomes much shorter when and depending on how often the ion interacts with other atoms along its path. When such engagements occur, the ion will predictably lose a set amount of energy. It is the ions produced and the energy they have remaining after passing through material that is measured in an NDP experiment and gives a cross-sectional snapshot of the isotope's dispersion in a sample — aka a neutron depth profile (figure 2). Although it varies, profiles can be obtained from the first few tens of micrometers of a sample. Ions originating any deeper are stopped before they can exit the material.
Figure 2 — NDP is often applied to the study of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Neutrons will penetrate the battery and react with 6Li to produce ions (top, the reaction is detailed in figure 1). Li naturally comes in two flavors: 6Li (makes up ≈7.6% of all Li) and 7Li (makes up ≈92.4% of all Li). Ions detected after they exit the battery are used to plot a neutron depth profile (bottom). The profile shows the quantity and distribution of 6Li across the battery. (NDP data adapted from https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acsenergylett.1c01960) Credit: J. Weaver/NIST
Like atomic elements, neutrons also come in a variety of flavors. To be nit-picky, the fundamental particles that make up neutrons also have "flavors," but for the sake of keeping this post short this will be ignored. Here we will define neutron flavors by their energy, and they are either epithermal (high energy), thermal (intermediate energy — the same temperature as air molecules) or cold (low energy). At the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) where the NIST NDP is housed, cold neutrons are produced by passing thermal neutrons through a material that slows them down and reduces their overall energy. Using cold neutrons for NDP experiments is excellent as they increase the probability that a neutron will react with an isotope. Cold neutron experiments make collection of data on dynamically changing samples viable — a feature that has been key to the development of NDP Li-ion battery research capabilities at NIST.
NDP has a several decades-long history at NIST, and through all these research efforts the stage has been set for NDP to become one of the powerhouse tools for the analysis of Li-ion batteries. Due to its unique sensitivity to 6Li, the technique can be used to peek inside the internal workings of Li-ion cells in real time (figure 2). Issues such as low cell energy densities, slow charging, and short lifespans — all of which can afflict current consumer Li-ion batteries — can be identified and mitigated with the aid of NDP. The speed and accuracy to which they can be resolved will partially define the rate of future growth for the already $40.5 billion global Li-ion battery market.
Figure 3 — Moving NDP in the fall of 2020 to its new, permanent home (top) and the internal guts of the new NDP neutron guide (bottom). This move would not have been possible without funding and technical support from both the NIST Material Measurement Laboratory and the NCNR. I would specifically like to thank the NCNR's research facilities operation group for their many hours of work on the building and installation of the new guide and NDP instrument. This group has played an invaluable role in the development and deployment of NIST NDP instruments and associated neutron beams since the early 1980s.
It is hard to find a better note with which to end this post than that stated above regarding the potential continued industrial impact of NDP. However, there is one — at least for me professionally and all our collaborators. In 2019, NIST made a significant investment into NIST NDP through the building of a new, NDP-dedicated, cold neutron beamline (figure 3). When combined with the new, soon-to-be installed cold neutron source at the NCNR, the NIST NDP instrument is expected to operate with a more than 20% signal boost. These upgrades will enhance the applicability of NDP to Li-ion battery research and make it more broadly useful to other research fields such as catalysis (the speeding up of chemical reactions) and different applications such as digital memory devices. With this investment, and like its new beamline, the future for NIST NDP and associate program seems bright.

HomeNewsBusinessLGBTQ business leaders endorse Biden for president
LGBTQ business leaders endorse Biden for president
Following LGBTQ political leaders' endorsement of Democratic Party contenders Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, LGBTQ business leaders have followed suit.
In a statement, the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) said Biden's commitment to supporting the Equality Act would empower and protect LGBTQ entrepreneurs and business owners.
LGBTQ business leaders call for further protections
The NGLCC further said that electing Biden would guarantee nondiscrimination protections that ensure equitable access to capital, especially during the post-pandemic economic recovery.
Justin G. Nelson, NGLCC co-founder and president, said that supporting Biden affirms "that we all deserve our shot at the American Dream, and that our economy only succeeds when it is available to all LGBT and allied Americans."
"We need to elect a president with a commitment to LGBTQ equality, ending racism and racial violence, promoting small businesses and entrepreneurship, and ensuring a safe and equitable society for every American," he said.
Nelson also told NBC News that LGBTQ-owned businesses across the US consider the "number one issue" is the "access to capital, especially during the pandemic."
"When you have 35 states that can deny you credit just for being LGBT, that puts our businesses at significant risk of not being able to secure the capital they need to be successful," he added.
Equality Act to help LGBTQ businesses and communities
Despite the opposition of President Donald Trump, the Equality Act had been passed last year by the House. However, it is stuck in the Senate where it is not up for voting.
Once passed, the law would explicitly amend various nondiscrimination laws to prohibit LGBTQ discrimination in several areas: banking, jury duty, and public accommodations, among others.
Biden has called LGBTQ discrimination as not only immoral but fundamentally bad for business. He has also committed to an economic recovery plan to strengthen small businesses affected by COVID-19
The former vice-president likewise wants to preserve and expand then-President Barack Obama's LGBTQ equality executive actions to support full federal inclusion of Certified LGBT Business Enterprise suppliers.
The NGLCC unanimously voted to endorse Biden, the second time they had endorsed a candidate for president before. In 2016, they endorsed Hillary Clinton.
LGBTQ business leaders: Biden's victory is imperative
In their statement, the NGLCC leadership said Biden's victory is "imperative to the well-being of America's economy" as well as the gains achieved in recent years for the LGBT community.
Chance Mitchell, the chamber's co-founder and CEO, said, "The stakes have never been so high for the future of our country and the LGBT business community."
Given the recent legal victories in LGBTQ workplace protection, Mitchell added the community "has come too far to lose its seat at the table."
He added that as president, Biden will continue fighting for "America's 1.4 million LGBT business owners and the more than US$1.7 trillion they add to the US economy despite ongoing discrimination."
Reggie Greer, LGBTQ+ vote director for the Biden campaign, welcomed this endorsement and said LGBTQ businesses are central to Biden's plans to build a stronger, more equitable economy.

There is a potential flaw in your Span of Control (SOC). Now this does not usually effect start-ups, but at some point in time companies are no longer lean and mean. Their span of control has grown both vertically and horizontally (as expected) to manage their growth in products/offerings, sales,user base and the staff needed to manage same. At some point this span of control breaks down, and the fast turning cogs slow to a crawl. This might be due to economic factors, competitive factors or other outside factors. We hear it loud and clear when in recession, calls of across the board job cuts of 5%,10% or even 15%. Other times, the cogs slow due to factors within the corporation, and specifically as it relates to your SOC, and how you manage it.
So as a hypothetical example, Cogswell's Cogs has a staff of Marketing,Sales, Business Development and Channel executives. Each dept. has their own SOC and all of these departments are part of yet an even larger corporate SOC. In marketing as example, you have your Executive Vice President of Marketing, Vice President of Marketing, Managing Director of Marketing, Marketing manager, assistant marketing manager, etc. For the corporate SOC you have your EVP of marketing, EVP sales, EVP Global sales, EVP GLobal Marketing, EVP Business Development, EVP of Channel sales, etc. ... already seeing the mess, right (and we're only talking about the upper layers right now!).
Lets now examine a SOC from the bottom up. Inside Sales, reports to Sales manager, Who in turn reports to the East Coast Sales Manager, Who reports to the National Sales manager, who reports to the VP of sales, who then reports to the EVP of sales, eventually reporting to the CEO. So what's wrong here, after all a CEO needs to be insulated from all these layers don't they? WRONG! and this is where your SOC is broken. SOCS need to be multi-directional.
Johny is somewhere in the middle of a SOC. He is the Director of Strategic sales at Cogswell Cogs. He reports directly in his SOC to Henry, the Managing Director of Marketing. Johny is not making his numbers because even though he has successfully lined up, and signed up partners there is a breakdown with one of the Sales Engineers (SE), yet part of another SOC! In order to get the partner up and running, they need to be trained on how to use Cogswell's cog. The problem? David, the Director of SE's is a golfing (drinking?) buddy of Henry...remember now Henry and David are best buds... and so in a functional SOC Johny should be able to reach out to the SE, and when unresponsive reach out to the SE's boss who should remedy the breakdown. But what happens when Henry, the SE's boss is also incompetent, or just unresponsive? Johny can only go so far up his SOC before he is though of as a troublemaker, or a complainer. More often then not, the Johny's of this world (usually the MOST competent of your employees) become disenfranchised, and move on to a different Cog manufacturer, where their SOC team is more functional.
So how can you protect your SOC's? Management needs to have a venue available whereby anyone in a SOC can communicate with anyone else, from a Cold Caller, to the CEO. It is one thing to tell a guy doing inside sales, that he can feel free to use this "open structure" to offer his suggestions, and gripes. It is another for it to actually take place (are you going to go over your bosses head and risk being out of a job??). Make your open structure anonymous, monitor it directly (EVERYONE in the org.), and encourage its use.

Brazilian pianist and composer Ricardo Bacelar delivers his second album as leader on Concerto para Moviola, documenting his long-time interest in the jazz fusion music of the '70s and '80s presenting a varied selection of tunes by the Yellowjackets, Pat Metheny, Weather Report and Antonio Carlos Jobim among others. Also included in the expansive seventeen-piece repertoire, are five originals and jazz standards from the likes of Bob Mintzer, Benny Golson and Horace Silver making for an exceptional blend of contemporary jazz and fusion all lumped together in one exciting musical package.
Adding to the unusual flavor of the project is, the fact that the music was recorded live during the Guaramiranga Jazz and Blues Festival at the Via Sul Theater in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil featuring an octet employing a mix of analog synthesizers with Brazilian-styled music and the acoustic piano to produce an enjoyable atmospheric sound. The opening original "Cordihiera" is folksy warm up tune and not an indicator of what's in store as the piece leads right into a fusion-tinged interpretation of Joe Zawinul's familiar "Birdland." Golson's classic "Killer Joe" gets a swinging brassy arrangement showcasing the power of the band on one of the liveliest tracks of the set.
A long-time fan of guitarist Pat Metheny, Bacelar re-imagines the classic "So May It Secretly Begin" with a gorgeous take on the familiar melody resulting in perhaps, one of the finest renditions of the tune around. Michel Legrand's oft-recorded and one of his most recognized compositions, "The Windmills of Your Mind," features saxophonist Marcio C Resende and the leader on the keyboards while though brief, still beautiful. A jazz standard and one of Horace Silver's defining compositions, "Senor Blues" come out in swinging fashion with a percussive Afro jazz feel that's quite inviting.
Several original Bacelar songs like the title piece, "Enquanto isso, chove..." and "Apartheid Blues," all have a balladic quality to them, are soft and warm songs with an intimate introspective feel about them. Being of Brazilian decent, you cannot ignore the music of Jobim on a Brazilian album and of course, the pianist does not with a superb version of the icon's "Agua de Beber" which Bacelar states is a "Jewel of Brazilian music." One of the most percussive tunes on the live set is "Nana," from Brazilian maestro Moacir Santos highlighting percussionist Hoto Junior and drummer Luizinho Duarte.
The piano man and crew let it all hang out on the Brian Culbertson tune "The Groove" blending the essence of fusion with the hard beats of funk in a shoulder-moving treatment that works quite well here. The live set ends on a hard-driving swinging rendition of Chick Corea's "Blue Miles" featuring an animated leader on the keys, rock-style riffs from guitarist Ronaldo Pessoa and feisty solos from the saxophonist concluding the concert with an explosive bang. Concerto para Moviola is a rhythmically-rich gem of a recording, an impressive concert led by an equally impressive pianist paying tribute to music of the past, with a touch of class.
Track Listing: Cordiheira; Birdland; Killer Joe; So May It Secretly Begin; March Majestic; The Windmills of Your Mind; Senor Blues; Moviola; Enquanto isso, chove...; Sabia; Palhaco; Apartheid Blues; Setembro; Agua de Beber; Nana; The Groove; Blue Miles.

Is Ding the Most Talented Player Without a World Title?
Chinese snooker sensation Ding Junhui is one of the sport's most decorated players but he has yet to lift the biggest prize yet in his career, the World Championship.
One of the things that makes sport great, but often shows up its crueller side, is that the best players and teams do not always get to win. Sporting history is littered with such examples: The great Brazil side of the 1982 World Cup; Dan Marino's failure to win a Super Bowl; Ken Rosewall not getting a Wimbledon title. Indeed, Snooker has the most telling example of all in Jimmy "Whirlwind" White's heart-breaking run of six World Championship Final defeats.
Snooker's 'rising-young-star' is now 30-years-old
But what of Ding Junhui? It is now 14 years since the Chinese superstar announced himself to the world as a precociously-talented 16-year-old at the 2004 Masters. Back then, everyone assumed it was a case of when and not if he would win a World Championship. However, despite snooker having plenty of 'long-lived' players, some are suggesting that time is running out for Ding.
He has come close to winning snooker's biggest prize, with a couple of semi-final defeats and the loss to Mark Selby in the 2016 Final. But as a whole, one could say objectively that Ding has underperformed when it comes to playing at the Crucible down the years. Away from Sheffield, he is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world. To the question then: is Ding the best player not to have landed a Snooker World Championship?
Few events in sport can match White's series of defeats
Obviously, the first person that springs to mind is the aforementioned Jimmy White. Those six Final defeats would certainly suggest that he is the greatest performer at the World Championships not to have won. Ding, however, holds 13 ranking events, putting him tied-fifth overall with Neil Robertson and Mark Selby, both of whom have won the World Championship. White, with 10 ranking events, joins Ding as the only two players in the top ten list not to have won the World Title.
Perhaps it is pointless to compare players from two very different eras of snooker. But the fact remains that both White and Ding should have won at least one World Championship in the past. For White, that ship has sailed. But, for the 30-year-old Ding, there should be some opportunities left to right the wrong.
Ding among Word Championship betting favourites once again
The 2018 World Championships will be Ding's 12th, and he still very much at the very top of the game, so there is no point in writing his snooker obituary just yet. Bet365 have ranked him as 11/1 fourth-favourite for the event, behind O'Sullivan (7/2), Selby (7/2) and Trump (6/1). The tournament looks really stacked though, with the likes of Robertson (12/1), Higgins (12/1) and Allen (22/1) fancying their chances, so check out Snooker World Championship betting tips, offers and free bets before you part with your money.
It seems that Ding's greatest opponent at the Crucible will be himself once again. His talent richly deserves a World Title, but will the application get in the way once again? If Ding needs some inspiration he should perhaps look not to snooker, but another sport entirely. Sergio Garcia was widely regarded as the best golfer never to win a Major in his career. Like Ding, there were near misses and 'chokes', until it got to the point that nobody thought that Garcia would ever break his duck. Beyond hope and expectation, he won the Masters as a 37-year-old at Augusta last year. Ding should take note.

The new building, Inclusion Hub and Science classroom projects are being undertaken by McAvoy. They are members of the Considerate Constructors Scheme which is a non-profit-making, independent organisation founded in 1997 by the construction industry to improve its image.
Construction sites, companies and suppliers voluntarily register with the Scheme and agree to abide by the Code of Considerate Practice, designed to encourage best practice beyond statutory requirements. For more information on the Code, please click here
Significant progress has been made this month. The School Student Council were able to visit the new building earlier this month.
"I believe that the new building will be very beneficial as there are more year sevens coming next year and the new building means that here is sufficient space for everyone." Rebekah, Year 7
'Our eyes were intrigued as soon as we step into the new built. I'm sure that all Student Councils members felt jubilant yet curious to see the built; overall it was a tremendous opportunity to explore the site!' Harish, Year 7
Our 5 new classrooms and a new dining hall are taking shape.
As you are aware we are also creating a new visitor reception and meeting room at the front of the school.
We hope to open this area in early May.
New cycle racks have been provided as part of the scheme. These are located at the front of the school.
The building is now watertight and internal work has now started.
Delivery of the 46 modules has now been completed. These have been lifted in to place.
This month work has continued on site in preperation for the module delivery in January.
This month work has focused on creating a soakaway for the new building. The whole area has been levelled and prepared for the new building.
Contractors will work on installing the drainage for the new building. The building site footprint has been increased to enable safe working away from students. The snack shack will be moved to another location on the school site and as a result will be closed for the next two weeks. An additional till has been located in our main dining hall to help reduce waiting times. The snack shack has been relocated to the new playground.
Over the last couple of weeks contractors have been on site completing the groundworks ahead of the delivery of the main structure in January. The pads have now all been installed.
Our newly marked staff carpark has been completed and this will allow us to start work on the cycle storage area later in the year.
Work on the link footpath continues. Contractors have also been working on the revised staff carpark layout. This work has been undertaken so that we are able to provide a new secure space for cycles on the school site.
The foundation pads for the new building have started to be installed on the tennis courts.
Contractors have been busy widening the main link footpath between the school buildings. This work will be completed during the half term break. Sections of fence around the tennis court fences will be removed this week in preparation for the installation of foundation pads next week.
Contractors have been working hard to get the temporary haul road installed from the rear of the school site. Fencing has been installed to segregate the building site from the school.
During the summer holiday additional areas have been created for students to use at break and lunchtime. This area will provide much needed hard standing play areas during the construction of the new building.

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Tuesday got another earful from area residents about the newly revised town plan, specifically about whether the document should include language limiting retail store size to 50,000 square feet.
The planning commission has recommended such language to mirror a 50,000-square-foot cap that has been included in Middlebury's zoning ordinances since 2005.
RIPTON — Like many Addison County residents, Ceredwyn Alexander spent some tense moments in front of her television during the past few weeks tracking the potential path of "super storm" Sandy and wondering if it would do to Vermont what Tropical Storm Irene did to the state last year.
RIPTON — Joan and Chris Bullock thought they had bid adieu to the Chipman Inn in 1986 following a successful, 8-year stint owning and operating the historic lodging facility off Route 125 in Ripton. They had a nice run, but the long hours of cooking and cleaning had taken their toll.
Joan Bullock recalled often serving "last call" at the inn's small pouring station in the wee hours, then grabbing a few hours of sleep before descending the stairs to the kitchen by 6 a.m. to get breakfast ready for her lodgers.
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen on Tuesday revealed a 0.6-acre North Main Street parcel that is the former home of Vergennes Auto Sales as their choice on which to build a new station for the city's police department.
Vergennes officials said they have discussed purchasing the land with its owner, but discussed details Tuesday only behind closed doors at the end of their open session.

The best free Bible reading app is called simply Bible (published by LifeChurch.TV), but it's often referred to as YouVersion. It gives you access to all the Bible translations you could want, and you can even listen to the Bible being read. The only downside is that many Bibles can't be permanently downloaded (although the NKJV, KJV and ESV are exceptions), so you will probably need a constant internet connection. Like nearly all the Bible apps in this roundup, you can take notes, and search the Bible for particular words and phrases. This app is also one of the few that works on Windows Phone, although that version doesn't allow you to download Bibles.
If you want an even greater choice of Bible translations, you could try Bible Gateway (published by Zondervan). However, most of them can't be downloaded, making you even more reliant on having a regular internet connection.
PocketSword Bible Study is a great free app that gives you access to a number of older Bible translations, commentaries and dictionaries, including classics such as Barnes' notes, Keil and Delitzsch and Matthew Henry. Bibles are available in almost any language (even Welsh, through beibl.net), but the only modern English translation is the ESV. It has a very simple interface, partly because it doesn't offer advanced features like note-taking. Thankfully though, once you've downloaded the books you need, you can access them without an internet connection.
If you use the NKJV or want to take notes, you might consider the Blue Letter Bible as an alternative (iOS only). Like PocketSword, it gives you access to cross references, classic commentaries and even information on Greek/Hebrew words, but it also allows you to read the NKJV. However, it's severely limited by a poor user interface and its requirement for a permanent internet connection.
A good alternative to both is Faithlife Study Bible. It only includes two study resources – the Faithlife Study Bible itself, and the Lexham Bible Dictionary – but they're very substantial and up-to-date. The study Bible has more than 2 million words, but you're not overwhelmed because when you look up a note, you're first presented with a fairly simple explanation, then you can tap to find out more. There are also links to other good reference books, but you have to purchase these separately. The app allows you to take your own notes, and to create online groups so you can share your notes with friends or others in your church. There's nothing like the FSB available anywhere for free (and it doesn't require an internet connection), but there is a drawback. Only one Bible is included – the Lexham English Bible. It's a modern, fairly literal translation, but most users will want something more familiar and additional versions need to be bought (usually for £6.50 each). FSB is published by Logos Bible Software, so if you already own these Bibles in Logos, you'll automatically get access to them in FSB.
If you use the Bible reasonably regularly (and hopefully you do!), you'll probably find it's worth paying a few pounds to buy an extra Bible for Faithlife Study Bible, or to buy an app that doesn't require an internet connection and lets you read the translation of your choice.
Olive Tree Software's Bible Study is a fabulous app. The free version comes with the KJV and ESV, but you can add additional versions for about £6.50 each. A few classic commentaries, dictionaries and other books can be added for free, or you can buy modern equivalents, which you'll also be able to read on a Mac or Windows PC. The app looks good, is very fast, and the resource guide makes it easy to get more help on any verse.
An equally good alternative is Logos Bible Software's Bible app. The free version gives you access to a few different Bible translations if you have an internet connection, or you can pay around £6.50 for permanent access that doesn't require you to be online. Logos offers more features than Olive Tree, but sacrifices some speed and it's not quite as easy to use. Like OliveTree, anything you buy can also be accessed on your desktop PC/Mac.
If you don't need the additional free Bible versions, and don't want to study on your Mac or PC, then Olivetree is probably the best choice for speed and ease of use. But Logos' desktop app is so much better than OliveTree's, then go for Logos if you also want to use your desktop computer.
As an alternative, you could also try the NIV Study Bible, published by Zondervan. This app is expensive (£13-14), but includes the 2011 edition of the NIV Bible and the notes from the printed versions of the NIV Study Bible. Like the Faithlife Study Bible, it also includes several colour photos, maps and even a few videos.
Most of the apps listed above include some devotional material, but if you want to read the Bible devotionally, there are two more apps to consider.
Explore Bible Devotional (published by The Good Book Company) is free, but additional notes cost £1.49. It contains daily Bible readings with questions to help you engage with the Bible text, comment to get you thinking, and ideas for further reading, prayer and application. It includes the NIV or ESV text for each day.
Fighter Verses (published by Desiring God) costs around £2 and is a Bible memorisation tool, with quizzes you can use to test yourself. You can memorise verses in several different versions, and it's suitable for children and adults.
Two excellent American seminaries have published apps that allow you to listen to hundreds of their lectures for free. Worldwide Classroom is from Covenant Theological Seminary, and includes nearly 40 courses (each with several lectures) on everything from Calvin's Institutes to Youth Ministry. RTS Mobile is very similar, and is produced by Reformed Theological Seminary. It has more than 30 courses from scholars like Simon Kistemaker, Jim Packer, Derek Thomas and John Frame. You might also consider Reasonable Faith, which gives you access to audio and video of apologetics debates and lectures from William Lane Craig.
Finally, there are literally hundreds of free apps that let you listen to sermons. Most will allow you to download sermons so you can listen even when you don't have an internet connection. Those that offer audio only include SermonAudio (thousands of preachers, also available on Windows Phone), Ligonier Ministries (R.C. Sproul) and UCCF (various speakers). Those that also offer video include Mars Hill Church (Mark Driscoll), Truth for Life (Alistair Begg), Grace To You (John MacArthur), The Gospel Coalition (various), Redeemer Presbyterian Church (Timothy Keller), SermonIndex.net Classics (various including A. W. Tozer, iOS only), and Desiring God (John Piper).

the movies I think you should see
Bringing the past back to life in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood
The 9th film from Quentin Tarantino is ONCE UPON A TIME… IN HOLLYWOOD – one wild and very memorable ride back to Los Angeles in 1969.
Writer/director, cinematic genius Quentin Tarantino brings us his 9th film with ONCE UPON A TIME… IN HOLLYWOOD and what a wild and very memorable experience it is. Is he really hanging up his movie spurs after his tenth film as he's intimated? Say it isn't so! He's just such a daringly original force on the silver screen that we'd miss him. Ever since seeing his memorable debut Reservoir Dogs in 1992 whilst being an usher at the Cornerhouse cinemas in Manchester, I've been a fan. And ONCE UPON A TIME… is one of those rare creatures, a movie that is so beautifully paced (by Tarantino and his editor Fred Raskin) that 2 hours and 41 minutes zip by effortlessly in a gorgeous and delirious blur.
Leonardo DiCaprio as Rick and Brad Pitt as Cliff discuss the future
As you'd expect from Mr Tarantino, we have another rich tapestry of characters inhabiting his spot-on recreation of Hollywood in 1969. And, of course, to play those characters he's not just aced it with his cast this time, he's knocked it out of the park. Leonardo DiCaprio is Rick Dalton, a once-successful television star whose fame is growing ever dimmer as he sinks into a deeper depression at the state of his career. Brad Pitt is Cliff Booth, Rick's stunt double and longtime friend who now is increasingly responsible for every aspect of Rick's life in order to keep him functioning. The world they inhabit is changing. We're watching the end of the golden age of Hollywood as new artists mark their mark on the movie industry. And one such artist is director Roman Polanski (Polish actor Rafal Zawierucha), a hot property courtesy of the recent hit thriller Rosemary's Baby. With his wife, the actress Sharon Tate (an uncanny lookalike in the brilliant Margot Robbie) they are Rick's new neighbours.
And so the stage is set for Tarantino to explore the world of Los Angeles in 1969 through three specific days and how Hollywood would be forever changed after the events of August 9 when members of the cult leader Charles Manson's "family" murdered Tate and a number of friends at her house. In his customary, super-clever way, Tarantino meshes fictional characters with real-life ones in order to examine the impact of this moment in time – as he did so brilliantly with Inglourious Basterds. Rick, Cliff and Sharon come into contact with the likes of Steve McQueen (Damian Lewis), Bruce Lee (Mike Moh), George Spahn (Bruce Dern), and Charles Manson (Damon Herriman) as well as up-and-coming 8-year old actor Trudi (a standout Julia Butters), agent Marvin Schwarz (a fab cameo from Al Pacino) and hitchhiker Pussycat (a superb Margaret Qualley). There's also a host of other Tarantino regulars and fantastic actors who pop up in other roles too so keep your eyes peeled.
Margot Robbie's Sharon enjoys Hollywood life
I can't discuss any more of the plot for ONCE UPON A TIME… IN HOLLYWOOD as it's best discovered by you when you see it. But this is vintage Tarantino, where the dialogue is as witty and sharp as ever, like this exchange between Bruce Lee and Cliff,
"You know you're kinds pretty for a stuntman.
That's what people tell me."
It's all shot exquisitely by the venerable cinematographer Robert Richardson and the Los Angeles of 1969 is beautifully recreated by production designer Barbara Ling. Of course, there's a killer soundtrack with a collection of music and songs from the period which is the icing on the cake of Tarantino's confection. Apart from DiCaprio and Pitt who, in a casting coup that many have noted match the illustrious pairing of Paul Newman and Robert Redford, are simply sublime, putting in performances that are awards-worthy and rank as amongst the best of their respective careers.
I saw the movie in the cinema as a celebration of the fact that it's shot on film and so if you can catch it there, do. But do not miss it if you can only see the movie on-demand or DVD – this is one of the films of the year.

If death comes to a loved one, can we grieve alone? When all around is in ruins, can we confine our lives to one beautiful room constructed out of art, or love, or family ties? And when the words we know prove inadequate, can we turn to the language of birds?
In an arty mansion in Milan's industrial zone, two men are shown one of the last remaining Futurist noise machines – an Intonarumore – and a painful old truth surfaces. A musician travels to three continents to see her siblings before returning to Johannesburg; her home is plundered every night around her as she composes a requiem. A man follows his male lover from London to Berlin's clubbing scene and on to a ruined castle in which the lover's family lives. He is looking for an antidote.
The protagonists in SJ Naudé's South African Literary Award-winning short story collection are listening out for answers that cannot be expressed. Offering fresh perspectives on gay, expat and artistic subcultures and tackling the pain of loss head on, Naudé's stories go fearlessly and tenderly to the heart of our experiences of desire, love and death.
The Afrikaans version of The Alphabet of Birds was awarded several prizes, including the University of Johannesburg Debut Prize and the First-time Published Author Award (South African Literary Award). He was awarded the 2014 Jan Rabie & Marjorie Wallace Writing Scholarship, the largest award for creative writing in South Africa.
Longlisted for the Frank O'Connor Prize 2015.
Read on our Ampersand blog why our publisher Stefan Tobler loves The Alphabet of Birds.
S.J. Naudé reads from The Alphabet of Birds and discusses the Afrikaans language among young South Africans in the new South Africa in the excellent BBC Radio 4 series 'Writing a New South Africa' (at 18:38). He writes for PEN Atlas here on the experience of translating yourself and in In Asymptote Journal he reflects on the odd literary status of Afrikaans and talks about Afrikaans literature today – read it here.
If you had subscribed to And Other Stories before The Alphabet of Birds went to the printers, you would have received one of the first copies of the book – in which all subscribers are thanked by name – as well as up to five And Other Stories titles per year.

A Starting Place for Relationship and Sex Education
Richard Fowler
Family and Parenting, Global, LGBTQ+
I sit at home setting lessons online with a cup of tea and a healthy supply of chocolate – the UK national lockdown has its perks. I have never felt so relaxed teaching in all my 10-year career. Things are calm. No talking students punctuating my hard-planned lesson. So I sit back in my chair and think.
My thoughts drift and lead me into the next academic year – will it be this easy? Probably not. But for other reasons. Schools in the UK are about to see the biggest shakeup in Sex and Relationship Education (RSE) since 1988. That was the year the national curriculum was introduced – a prescriptive approach to learning set by the government. And how times have changed.
The same year, a local government act prohibited the "promotion of homosexuality" and the "teaching in maintained schools of the acceptability of homosexuality as a 'pretended' family relationship". This non-acceptance of a 'different' kind of family was in response to the publication of a book called Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin – probably the first English-language children's book to discuss homosexuality. It is hard to fathom this was only 30 years ago. Yet over this period, a diet of primary school books like And Tango Makes Three and Prince & Knight have influenced a gradual, but steady change in more mainstream acceptance of LGBT freedom and equality.
The pursuit of acceptance and equality for the LGBT community has been at the heart of this new RSE teaching material. But it has also fuelled antagonism, like the high-profile protests outside a primary school in Birmingham (a major UK city). Mainly Muslim parents have picketed the school in response to its relationship and equality programme called 'No Outsiders'; lessons about embracing differences including race, religion, gender and sexuality. This is one school's approach to teaching students to accept and treat different groups equally regardless of their group identity (a person's sense of belonging to a particular group). More so then ever before this includes the LGBTQI+ community because sexual orientation and gender reassignment are now protected characteristics under equality law in the UK.
As a teacher who will still be a teacher when the new curriculum rolls into the classroom in September, I've sat back and watched and listened. There are strong, sometimes aggressive voices on both sides. The social, religious and political issues this new curriculum raises will mean the tensions are here to stay.
So I started to think about the inevitable questions these tensions raise. Whose responsibility should it be – parent or school – to teach children these complex topics? Who knows, anyway, when such issues are "age appropriate"? How much more in loco parentis are schools going to become? Are we oversexualising our children, giving them little time to exist in innocence? Will we ever reconcile the religious and secular values systems in such matters? Is group identity being used as a weapon in the pursuit of equality? But as I played over these questions in my head, I knew there was something missing from the conversation.
READ: The Truth About LGBTQ Christians
Knowing that what I and my colleagues teach will provide valuable guidance to how the students think about and interact with different groups, I sat back and pondered. I started to visualise. I saw myself in next year's classroom. And I asked the question: What kind of ethical narrative would I like my students to emerge with?
After some thought, my heart would be for my students to see that the acceptance and equality of an individual goes beyond group identity, beyond sexual orientation and gender reassignment. I want my students to learn that equality starts with our being before our doing.
This is where I believe the teaching of equality in relationship and sex education should begin.
When I step into my classroom each morning and look around – before I know anything about my students' self-expression, feelings, or doing – what do I notice about them? What is it that means as a teacher I treat them equally, in a way that reflects their dignity? I look around and I see we all have life; we all have breath. We are of one blood, one species. We live here on this one earth. We all have a brain, a heart, and hopes and dreams. For my students, this is a description not of their doing, but a description of their being.
It is this being, this dignity, which is at the heart of the document that gives equality such expression in so many countries. Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, states: "all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights". It is this same language and idea that finds an echo chamber in some of the most liberating and equalising documents of western civilisation. Whether it's the 1215 Magna Carta that established principles of individual equality before the law in England, or the US Declaration of Independence expressing this famous, almost spiritual clause, "that all men are created equal", these documents demand an acceptance and equality that stems from our being, not our doing. Because we are human beings, first and last. Because we are a special kind of creature, who those penning these liberty-giving documents knew are created in the image of God.
When we interact with someone – a student, a colleague, a gay or trans person – our aim is to do so with the dignity their being demands. We are living, sentient beings, full of life and wonder, and the way we treat each other should go some way in to reflecting that wonder. Acknowledging that, above our group identity, we have a greater identity, one that transcends our tribes and speaks beyond our doing into our being; a being that reflects an inherent dignity. A dignity arising from the capacity to act autonomously, to think, to create, to communicate, to love and be loved. This is where we are equal.
This is the equality those founders of the human rights documents wanted to protect. In their eyes, because each human has a common origin, a common birth, a common identity – acceptance and equality come not from who we are but whose we are. An equality stemming not from our doing but from our being.
This, I believe, is a healthy place for relationship and sex education to begin.

Q: How to convert dd.mm.yyyy date format to yyyy-mm-dd in Excel 2007? My customer entered date in dd.mm.yyyy format. As I want insert all the data in mysql database, I want the date in yyyy-mm-dd format.
I tried to format using Excel custom date format and built-in function like =text(A1,"yyyy-mm-dd") but it did not work, I still got the same format (it still shows dd.mm.yyyy).
For example, I typed 30.10.2010 in any cell, and tried changing the format to yyyy-mm-dd to be 2010-10-30, but it did not work.
I also looked for questions in Super User stack and Google but I could not find solution.

A: I tried it with 30/01/2010
SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","/")

and then I put in
=TEXT(B1, "yyyy-mm-dd").

The result was expected.
I suspect the issue is the cell you are doing this too is not in date format.
For example, if I change my value to 30.01.2010 then the value is then duplicated (in the same manner you describe)
Or, you could keep it as
=TEXT(A1, "yyyy-mm-dd")

And update all the . to / with a quick macro
Option Explicit
Sub ReplaceDate()

Dim row As Integer
row = 1

Do While (Range("A" & row).Value <> "")

    Dim val As String
    val = Range("A" & row).Value

    Dim i As Integer

    Dim result As String
    result = ""

    Dim spl() As String
    spl = Split(val, ".")

    If (UBound(spl) > 0) Then

    For i = 0 To Len(val)

    Dim r As String
        result = result & Replace(Mid(val, i + 1, 1), ".", "/")
    Next i

    End If

    If result <> "" Then

        Range("A" & row).NumberFormat = "@"
        Range("A" & row).Value = result

    End If

row = row + 1
Loop

End Sub

How do I add VBA in MS Office?

A: Right click on the cell -> Format Cells -> Choose Category Date -> Choose from Local Settings English (UK) -> select format yyyy-mm-dd
That's without changing the localization settings of the whole OS as above mentioned.

A: All you have to do is change you region and language to UK,
Start menu, control panel, region and language, format to "English (United Kingdom)" and then set the short date to "dd/MM/yyyy" and say apply and Ok.
The next time you use excel just change your cells to "date" then format the cell by clicking on the down arrow on the "number format" scroll to the bottom and select (More number formats... ) find the "date" option in the pop up and choose the first date option it looks like (*14/03/2001) change all the cells you need the date to look that and ta da... It's done.

Never has looking into a microscope been so dangerous.
They often say that science can be mind-blowing, and it looks like Syfy has taken that old adage quite literally with their key art for their new series Helix.
This cool billboard with the ominous tagline 'Play God. Pay the price' is for the new original sci-fi thriller from Executive Producer Ron Moore, infamous for the likes of the Battlestar Galactica revival and various Star Trek series.
In the show a team of scientists from the Center for Disease Control venture to the Arctic to a remote research facility to investigate a possible viral outbreak, what they uncover may lead to mankind's salvation or utter annihilation.
This arresting Helix billboard, with some black gooey mess violently shooting out the back of someone's head, was snapped along Fountain Avenue in Hollywood on December 28, 2013, plus a standard landscape version was spotted along Wilshire Boulevard on January 10, 2014.

When you believe in something, fight for it. And when you see injustice, fight harder than you've ever fought before.
"Julian Assange tells SXSW audience: 'NSA has grown to be a rogue agency'" by Stuart Dredge, www.theguardian.com. March 8, 2014.
If you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.
There can be no peace as long as there is grinding poverty, social injustice, inequality, oppression, environmental degradation, and as long as the weak and small continue to be trodden by the mighty and powerful.
"The secrets of a peacemaker". Interview with Gary Younge, www.theguardian.com. May 22, 2009.
Injustice and corruption will never be transformed by keeping them hidden, but only by bringing them out into the light and confronting them with the power of love.
The answer to injustice is not to silence the critic but to end the injustice.
Like a boil that must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed to the light of human conscience before it can be cured.

Q: Как получить отсюда значение \d*?  string st = Convert.ToString(Regex.Match(str, "id=\"user_online\">\\d*").Groups[0]);

Как получить отсюда значение \d*?

A: const int wholePhraseGroupIndex = 0;
const int numberGroupIndex = 1;

// Комилируем регулярное выражение для ускорения поиска
Regex regex = new Regex("id=\"user_online\">(\\d+)", RegexOptions.Compiled);

// Сравниваем строку с паттерном
Match match = regex.Match(str);

// Проверяем, что строка совпала
if (!match.Success)
    throw new FormatException("Строка имеет неверный формат: " + str);

// Извлекаем содержимое скобок
string numberStr = match.Groups[numberGroupIndex].Value;

// Парсим значение
int number = int.Parse(numberStr, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

A: Надежный способ получения части совпадения - именованные группы:
var str = "id=\"user_online\">33";
var match = Regex.Match(str, "id=\"user_online\">(?'usersCount'\\d*)");
if (match.Success)
{
    var usersCount = match.Groups["usersCount"].Value; // "33"
}

Альтернативный вариант - использование механизма positive lookbehind. В вашем случае - поиска таких \d*, перед которыми стоит тэг:
var match = Regex.Match(str, "(?<=id=\"user_online\">)\\d*");
if (match.Success)
{
    var usersCount = match.Value; // 33
}

Ну или можно обернуть \d* в скобки и достать Groups[1], но этот подход может поломаться при переписывании регулярки в будущем.
Не забывайте, что парсить HTML регулярными выражениями - плохая идея. Есть гораздо более простые способы извлечь значения из тэгов.


Good news! If you are reading this Tips and Tricks bulletin, you may already be a customer of Computer Problem Solvers – and according to a recent issue of Consumer Reports magazine, that makes you a pretty smart person.
Consumer Reports surveyed over 23,000 computer users and created a picture of what computer support is really like today. They asked questions about how effective each computer support provider was at resolving the problem, pricing and general satisfaction.
First up was support from manufacturers, such as Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Most manufacturers offer some level of free support, at least during the computer's warranty period. Not surprisingly, the free support was the lowest ranked of all computer support sources – according to the survey, the free support was only able to resolve the problem a mere 53% of the time. Paid manufacturer support, both from "premium" support lines as well as extended warranties, was only slightly better at 62%.
Next Consumer Reports looked at data regarding what they called "independent" services, which included services from large retail chains (such as Geek Squad or Firedog in the US), and also non-affiliated, truly independent providers like Computer Problem Solvers. Both types of "independents" scored really well when compared to manufacturers. Retail-based services were able to resolve 84% of the problems on Windows-based PCs. Their pricing was fairly high though, often double or triple the rates charged by the non-affiliated service providers.
The non-affiliated provider category included single-location stores, online repair services and independent networks like Computer Problem Solvers.
Hands down, we performed the best, resolving problems more than 93% of the time, and usually being much less expensive than the other paid options.
Keep all of your technology documentation, software CDs and licenses together in a convenient location.
Upgrade your technology regularly. Underlying technology components have changed drastically from Windows 95 to Windows XP and Windows 7, and some problems may have been 'engineered' out. Often it can take longer and be more expensive to find a solution to a problem on an older system when compared with upgrading to the latest software version. Many manufacturers (including Microsoft) no longer provide support or fixes for 'end of life' older systems and, as they are not as prevalent anymore, troubleshooting information can be hard to source.
Make sure you have Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software installed and regularly updated – the majority of preventable problems we see today are related to virus or spyware infections.
Backup your data regularly and test that you can read your backups. Recovering data from a 'crashed' hard drive is an expensive and uncertain process, whereas replacing a hard drive and restoring your backed up data can be relatively simple and easy.
Contact us about how we can help you troubleshoot current problems, or, better yet, avoid those problems in the first place.

potassium hydroxide natural alternative
It is a quiet process that uses water and potassium hydroxide to reduce the body to its basic element of bone ash. First, potassium hydroxide is natural -- it's just a fancy name for lye made from wood ash. Potassium hydroxide is another type of lye, and it is easily obtained from hardwood ashes and water. Alkaline hydrolysis is the natural process a body undergoes after burial, which can take up to 25 years. But instead of flame, alkaline hydrolysis uses water and an alkali solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH) commonly found in household products, which when heated, dissolves the body, leaving behind bone fragments and a sterile liquid. In both these cases, misinformation seems to be a factor. Second, why exactly are you looking for shampoo without potassium hydroxide in it? That is the original all natural method for soap, and potassium hydroxide actually creates a soap that's superior to the sodium hydroxide version. The ashes are then returned to the family. Glycerin is a natural result of saponification. However, the True Soap we see for sale in stores, is made by combining fat from plants or animals and an alkali, called lye. Green cremation is a gentle, eco-friendly alternative to flame-based cremation or casket burials. Lye "Alternatives" Still, some soap-makers make a point of positioning themselves as lye "alternatives," insisting – for example – they use glycerin instead, or make their soap without the involvement of lye. Lye refers to sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide . Both science and history document that, although rare, soap is indeed found in nature.

The one on the tightest of deadlines
I feel large-scale projects are like play-off games. You can't expect to win without adequate preparation. You need to scout your opponents and formulate a game plan, which involves matching up your opponent's strengths and weaknesses against your own.
You may have gotten away with just winging it during the regular season, but come play-off time, everybody is out to win, and every ounce of preparation is critical.
Similarly, a large-scale project should involve a significant amount of up-front planning and preparation before any actual development takes place. We took on a project that involved the migration of 27 sites from a proprietary CMS platform over to an Acquia-hosted Drupal platform within 30 days.
It was the biggest project I had been involved in up till then, and I'm proud to say we managed to pull it off on schedule.
Opponent's scouting report summary (aka project requirements)
All the content had to move into its new home by the stipulated deadline
Content should be structured as much as possible for extensibility and reusability across the different sites
Each site had its own look and feel, and was to be replicated as close to the original as possible
The deployment would be a big-bang approach, where all the sites would be switched over to the new platform at the same time
The deadline could not be negotiated
Game plan overview (aka project plan)
Given the narrow margin for error, the success of the project hinged on close collaboration between ourselves, the client and the previous vendor, who would be facilitating the cut-over. We planned for the work to be divided into two phases.
Phase 1: Architecture design and development
There were 2 options under consideration, Domain Access or a multi-site implementation. But based on an initial analysis of the site architecture and requirements, we were leaning toward the multi-site implementation with a single database.
Content structuring
Analyse all 27 sites to sift out repeatable patterns that could be built into reusable components, both in terms of site architecture, as well as theming.
Component generation
Create all necessary content types, fields, views, pages, custom panes and other components. Build feeds importers where applicable.
Final requirement check and UAT
Verify scope of work and required functionality with client, but the guiding principle was that any functionality that was not critical for the migration of content would be differed to after the cut-over.
Instantiation of 27 sites
Install and setup 27 sites with basic theme and templates.
By the end of Phase 1, the team of content migrators could start porting over the content from the old platform to the Drupal sites. The content migration would run in parallel with Phase 2.
Phase 2: Building individual sites
Create parent theme
This theme would provide the styling for all shared components across the 27 sites. These components would come from item #2 in Phase 1.
Build out site structure for each site
Panelizer was the option of choice for putting together the components to build out each of the 27 sites.
Create sub-themes for each site
Each sub-theme would contain styles that gave each site its unique look and feel.
Final UAT
The client team would perform UAT on the sites and verify that all sites were good to go-live.
Game highlights (aka project highlights)
Building out the site structure using taxonomy
After a lot of thought, we did NOT go with Domain Access nor a multi-site implementation. We decided to create a site structure vocabulary to organise the sites. There were three parent terms, for Television, Radio and Magazines. Each site would be a child term in their respective categories and each section of the site would be a grandchild term. Is this the best method of doing things? Maybe, maybe not. But given the design constraints, this was the best method we could successfully implement while still hitting the deadline.
Creating generic views that can be customised through panels
So after going through all 27 sites, I realised that all the list components could be grouped according to the number of columns they had. The layouts ranged from one to four columns, with some variations for each. I created four content pane view displays for each layout and turned on settings as well as allowed argument inputs from the pane config. This allowed me to build all the customised content displays from only those four content panes.
Using Themekey to render the themes for each site
Because all 27 sites were just one mega-site, the only way each term could have its own theme was through a module known as Themekey. It allows theme switching based on certain conditions, in our case, the rule was term IDs.
Up-front effort on the parent theme sped up sub-theme development significantly
As everything theming-related came under my purview, it was my personal responsibility to ensure all 27 sites looked like their original counterparts. I had two weeks for this, and spent the first week fine-tuning the parent theme and the first sub-theme. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about hitting the deadline. Fortunately, the up-front effort paid out significant dividends in terms of speeding up development of each subsequent theme. Eventually I was cranking out 5 sub-themes a day due to the amount of code that could be re-used.
Post-game analysis (aka retrospective)
This was one of the most challenging projects I've ever worked on. And yes, it was a stressful endeavour (I'd like to think I'm not the only person who thinks 27 sites in 30 days is challenging) but I learnt so much from this experience.
I can't say enough about the importance of planning. And yet, it must be expected that things will not go according to plan. For all the preparation in the world, you will never be able to predict what happens during the game. The key to winning the game is the ability to react to game situations. Preparation provides the confidence required to make those game-time decisions.
There were certain things that deviated from the original project plan because as we developed the site, we discovered new things that rendered the original idea infeasible. So we changed our approach when necessary. Our sole focus was to ensure the sites could go live by the deadline, hence all decisions revolved around this project objective.
Radio sites
This project would not have been successful without the cooperation and collaboration between all involved parties. The client was responsive and understanding.
Most importantly, they trusted us to do our job well. And in return, it was our responsibility to keep them in the loop and updated throughout the entire process. Open communication, as well as always being cognizant of the project goal, was what kept us on track.
To sum it up, this was project that was challenging, and even gruelling at times, but the harder the goal, the greater the feeling of accomplishment when it's conquered.

Goofs from The Fog (1980)
When the fog cuts the telephone communication between KAB and the sheriff, the lines shown as being cut are actually the power lines, not the telephone cable.
When Stevie hears the driftwood speak in her studio, it is 5:35. When it bursts into flames and she starts to put the fire out, it is 5:40. When she is done, it is 5:35 again.
When one of the sailors peers out of the ship's window for a fog bank in the background, the superimposed fog appears over the edges of the window.
Elizabeth takes off her gloves when she first gets into Nick's truck near the beginning of the film. When the windshield shatters and Nick is struggling to control the truck, she is wearing the gloves again in a few very quick shots.
When Nick (at the bar) is on the phone with Stevie telling her about the SeaGrass, there is a cutaway to the lighthouse. To the left you can see a crew member motioning for more fog, and then more fog rolls by him.
As Father Malone flips through his ancestor's journal, you can momentarily see obscenities unrelated to the story written on the preceding page.
When we hear Stevie say, "It's 1:00," we are looking at Nick's clock radio. His clock says 1:40.
When Nick and Elizabeth go to the dock to meet The Seagrass the weather is overcast and looks like its going to rain. In the very next shot we see Mrs Williams and her assistant organizing the 100th anniversary of Antonio Bay and it is clear blue skies and looks very much like a summer day.
In the coroner's office, Elizabeth's hair is shorter than it is in the rest of the movie, and she's wearing sneakers as opposed to her boots.
The light used to illuminate the inside of Nick's truck is visible on the dashboard when the truck turns to go to the weather station.
As the ghosts break through the windows in the church, some of the mutton bars break away but not the glass between them. Instead of being made up of separate panes as those of that period would be, they seem to be solid sheets.
When Andy Wayne finds the piece of wood in the surf on the rocks it is soaking wet but when he picks it up and takes it away it is bone dry.
After having picked up Elizabeth, the windows of Nick's truck break. The glass is clearly window pane glass, not security glass used in cars.
In a few scenes, Dan the local weatherman is tracking the fog bank on his weather radar, and giving reports. Weather radars have never been able to detect fog. Today's most powerful state-of-the-art NEXRAD radars are sensitive enough to detect bugs, birds, and smoke plumes, but still not fog.
When Father Malone finds what's left of Blake's gold melted down into a cross, he lifts it up and offers it to him. But solid gold is very heavy; he would never be able to lift that cross like that.
When Elizabeth & Nick are riding along in the truck after he first picks her up, we see the glass in the windows begin to smash inward. One can briefly see the object used to break the glass before each smash.
When Stevie brings the piece of the ship The Elizabeth Dane to work, it begins to leak water toward her cassette recorder and the recorded voice slows down. But the recording begins to slow down before the water even touches the machine.
When Sandy and Mrs. Williams are driving to see Father Malone, it is sunny and clear outside. As they drive up a hill, the day is suddenly cloudy. Then, when they arrive at the church it is sunny and clear again.
A Ford Country squire station wagon has its headlight doors open, which would be true if the lights were on, but they are not. For no apparent reason, in the next scene, the headlight doors are closed.
Antonio Bay is set in California, the West Coast, but throughout the movie characters reference the fog as moving west, toward the town - sometimes against a due east wind. That would mean the fog was actually moving away from the coast, not toward it.
When Nick & the group are at the church near the end of the film, Nick grabs Father Malone's whiskey bottle and smashes it. Whiskey is shown soaking one of the pews. A few minutes later, the same pew is shown again and the pew is perfectly dry. The amount of broken glass has changed as well.
On board the Sea Grass Nick tells Elizabeth the story of how his father found a "Gold Doubloon, minted in Spain, 1867," on another ghost ship. However, the last Gold Doubloons minted in Spain were in 1849.
Despite both the front windshield and the rear window being broken out on Tom's pickup truck, the wind doesn't cause the characters's hair to blow, regardless of the speed.
The cross of gold would have been far too heavy for the priest to move, much less carry. The cross appears to be roughly 2-4 cubic feet of gold. ONE cubic foot of gold weighs 1,206 pounds. The would weigh between 1-2 TONS and would, again, be far too heavy to lift.
When Kathy asks Father Malone the time he read the diary, the position of her left arm changes between shots.
When Andy runs on the beach to find the gold coin, footprints from previous takes are visible.
A small (pull-start) power generator of the size that Adrienne Barbeau's character starts after the radio station/light house loses power would never be able to run a radio station's transmitter. Even a small regional station in this time period would have used vacuum tube radio equipment that consumed far more power than a small generator like the one that was shown could ever supply.
When the Weatherman calls the radio station and says that radar shows a trawler about 15 miles out and ID's it as "The Seagrass". Weather radars operate with the beam elevated one-half degree. This means that the farther away from the radar the higher the beams elevation. At the 15 miles stated the beam would be at 800 feet. Thus it would be very unlikely to show the ship. Also, weather radar cannot ID the name of a ship or it's see it's type.
Shortly before the driftwood with the letters DANE starts to leak water, a shot of the cassette recorder is shown where the water is already seen and moving.
When Nick opens the door after the ghosts knocked, the grandfather clock starts to strike 1am. The chimes heard are from the Westminster chime which is a 4/4 chime and uses clockworks with three key holes in the dial. The clock shown has only two.
when at the beginning of the movie, the bells strike midnight, according to Mr Machen it's the 21st of April. In the German translation Mr Machen says it's April 22nd. The translation is also otherwise inaccurate, e.g. he speaks of the sunken ship "her lungs filled with water and her eyes staring into the sea" when in the original it's the crew.
Stevie announces the time of 12:43 AM and then plays a song. During the next few minutes, the scene changes to Nick and Elizabeth. When the ghost knocks at their door and Nick opens it, he is saved by Stevie on the radio saying it's 1 AM. But the song is still the same, having continuously played for only 3 minutes.
A cross made of solid gold, like the one that Blake and his men are seeking, would weigh several hundred pounds and would be far too heavy for an elderly priest to carry.

British philosophical writer
Works By
Success, Christian life, Character, Love--Religious aspects--Christianity, Self-actualization (Psychology), …
James Allen (November 28, 1864–1912) was a British philosophical writer known for his inspirational books and poetry and as a pioneer of the self-help movement. His best known work, As a Man Thinketh, has been mass produced since its publication in 1903. It has been a source of inspiration to motivational and self-help authors.
Born in Leicester, England, into a working class family, Allen was the eldest of two brothers. His mother could neither read nor write while his father, William, was a factory knitter. In 1879, following a downturn in the textile trade of central England, Allen's father traveled alone to America to find work and establish a new home for the family. Within two days of arriving his father was pronounced dead at New York City Hospital, believed to be a case of robbery and murder. At age fifteen, with the family now facing economic disaster, Allen was forced to leave school and find work.
For much of the 1890s, Allen worked as a private secretary and stationer in several British manufacturing firms. In 1893, Allen moved to London where he met Lily Louisa Oram who he then wed in 1895. In 1898, Allen found an occupation in which he could showcase his spiritual and social interests as a writer for the magazine The Herald of the Golden Age. At this time, Allen entered a creative period where he then published his first book of many books, From Poverty to Power (1901). In 1902, Allen began to publish his own spiritual magazine, The Light of Reason, later retitled The Epoch.
In 1903, Allen published his third and most famous book As a Man Thinketh. Loosely based on the biblical proverb, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," the small work eventually became read around the world and brought Allen posthumous fame as one of the pioneering figures of modern inspirational thought. The book's minor audience allowed Allen to quit his secretarial work and pursue his writing and editing career. In 1903, the Allen family retired to the town of Ilfracombe where Allen would spend the rest of his life. Continuing to publish the Epoch, Allen produced more than one book per year until his death in 1912. There he wrote for nine years, producing 19 works
Following his death in 1912, his wife continued publishing the magazine under the name The Epoch. Lily Allen summarized her husband's literary mission in the preface to one of his posthumously published manuscripts, Foundation Stones to Happiness and Success saying:
"He never wrote theories, or for the sake of writing; but he wrote when he had a message, and it became a message only when he had lived it out in his own life, and knew that it was good. Thus he wrote facts, which he had proven by practice."

Statistical methods and analyses for integrative and comparative genomics
We have developed two new statistical metrics "TROM" (TRanscriptome Overlap Measure) and "EPOM" (EPigenome Overlap Measure) to evaluate the similarity of transcriptomes andepigenomes (i.e., sets of chemical compounds that are not part of the DNA sequence but are on or attached to DNA) within and across species. In work with the modENCODE consortium [1, 2, and 3], we used TROM to discover a previously unknown conservation between the developmental stages of D. melanogaster and C. elegans, two vastly different model organisms that diverged 600 million years ago. We also used TROM to study the conservation of stem cell differentiation across multiple mammalian species [4] and investigated its statistical properties [5]. In [6] we developed EPOM and applied it to large-scale epigenomic data generated by the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Mapping Consortium that include 12 epigenomic marks and 127 human tissues and cells. EPOM successfully captured epigenomic characteristics of various tissues and cells and discovered previously unknown similarity among them. We demonstrated that TROM and EPOM are more powerful measures than the widely used Pearson and Spearman correlations for establishing sparse correspondence maps of biological samples in terms of transcriptome and epigenome similarities. Moreover, in our ongoing work [7] we show that extending TROM to measure the similarity of genome-wide alternative splicing patterns also reveals meaningful sample correspondence with interesting biological implication.
We also have extensive collaboration with biologists in studies of the binding specificity oftranscription factors (i.e., proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences, thereby controlling the rate of transcription of genetic information from DNA to RNA). Our fruitful collaboration has resulted in work published on high-impact journals including Genome Biology [8] and PNAS [9]. Specifically, our Genome Biology paper is a highly accessed article on BioMed Central and was selected for "Faculty of 1000 Biology".
