In 1998, Kristi left her job because of the lack of quality childcare for her own children. She then began her own daycare in home. After three years, Kristi and her mom, Linda Nickerson began discussing the possibilities of expanding the business in the area. In 2001, Kristi and Linda decided to take a leap of faith and by the grace of God - began Building Blocks Academy. With family values being a priority, they decided to bring in Linda's youngest daughter, Tiffany Phillips. At that time, Building Blocks Academy was located on Westward in La Marque with a capacity of 33. The ladies soon found out that they were growing quicker than they imagined. A new facility was built and opened in January, 2005 on Main Street.
This year we are celebrating 17 years and we are so thankful for all of the children in our care. Not only do we have an impact on their lives, but they impact ours!

Technology often only appeals to a narrow demographic of people. Companies invest huge amounts of money and time in developing the latest technologies, but often at the cost of accessibility. People with disabilities can struggle to use many of the technologies that now govern our lives, which significantly impacts on their quality of life and happiness. It can result in feelings of frustration, alienation and loneliness.

Held at ThoughtWorks, London, Hack Brexit was attended by dozens of people who voted to leave and remain. The aim was to create dialogue and action beyond Brexit, to help our country move forwards positively. Seismic shifts have occurred in our political landscape, caused by Britain's vote to exit from the European Union in the recent referendum. Many questions are still unanswered and the future is extremely uncertain. Massive changes are expected on national and international levels, and people want to reform the current system.

Application 4" finish floor height for use in running data and power to display fixtures in the middle of the sales floor. Several areas of the floor plan were recessed by ¼" to allow carpeted areas to be installed flush with the TecCrete floor system.
The project was completed on a tight deadline despite a custom application that consisted of a 4" finish floor height to allow for power and cabling to be routed under the floor to retail displays in the middle of the floor space. This configuration allowed for neat and hidden access into the retail displays from under the floor and enabled an open concept floor plan.
The entire floor was installed and clear sealed then carpeting was added to specific areas that the access floor was installed "sunken" by ¼" to allow the carpet to flush out with the top of the access floor.
Integrated Interiors has also completed work on other AT&T Wireless locations nationally and locally including the Boston/Boylston Street flahship store.
Integrated Interiors (II) helped AT&T Wireless outfit their Worcester, MA store. The project was II's first opportunity to showcase raised access flooring in a retail application.


Roccat has provided us with our next PC gaming device to review, the Kone[+] gaming mouse. Typically I try to go over all the features but with this little device, there are just too damn many to list, and lets face it our attention span just isn't that long. I will fill you in on the good stuff and for more you can just head to Roccat.org. So about those features, this beaut comes with a 6000DPI pro-aim laser sensor, Easy-Shift[+] button duplicator, 4 LED light system, 4 easy to clip in weights, and 8 programmable mouse buttons. So now that we have those out of the way, lets get to the real reason you read these things.
This mouse just looks and feels badass, with the satin feel that a number of phone cases are going with lately, but in a flat black. That along with the solid rugged scrolling wheel and light tubes going down each side, hell even the USB connection looks mean. This mouse isn't all bark and no bite though, the Roccat driver + macro manager is really easy to use, surprisingly almost everything that can be tweaked. The manager also has Macro Presets for games and apps, that's right Battlefield 3, Old Republic, and Starcraft 3 fans! Once dialed in and I was ready to go is when my heart skipped a beat, it is incredibly responsive, has plenty of cable to work with, and once weighted, I added the full 20g(4x5g), it felt incredibly comfortable and all off the buttons with exception to the one above the wheel were easy to access.
The bad, I am left handed and this gaming mouse has an ergonomic design, molded for you righties. Luckily I am not too far out of my element when it comes to ergo mice. Another issue I had was when trying to get the trap door to insert the weights, it was overly hard to open the first time. After numerous people "loosening" it for me, I was able to open and weight and get playing. Lastly, no macs allowed, well when it comes to the driver and macro manager that is, so you are able to use the mice on the macs but you will miss out in a great deal as to what it is capable of.
Granted, my previous mouse was not a gaming mouse but it was programmable and did a decent job to not take away from the gameplay, but after spending some time with some Portal 2 and the Diablo 3 beta, it did make gameplay more enjoyable and comfortable experience. Though the macro manager is not available on the quickly growing mac population, I can at least hope it wouldn't be too much work to create or convert a driver for the operating system, until then I will be gaming from my wife's laptop.


- A generator we have not until recently foreseen a reason to own. The story of modern life is that as people move from farms and hamlets into cities, certain functions become more efficient to provide on a central basis. Our family doesn't keep its own cows and chickens, even though I raised those in my youthful 4-H days. Instead we get eggs, milk, meat at the store. We don't have our own well for drinking water, or our own coal mine or iron forge, or our own on-site garbage dump or emergency room, because all these things seemed more sensible to "outsource" to companies and city utilities, on which we could rely. So too with electric power -- until recently.
But the combination of more extreme storms; and five days' power outage last winter and the predicted week-plus this summer; and the knowledge that the overhead powerlines and abundant trees in DC mean that emergencies like this will come again -- all of this is making me reconsider the generator option.
Without taking the time now for further agree/disagree glosses, here is a sample of the incoming haul.
Pepco faces a simple reliability equation: The more it spends on improving service, the less is available for dividends and executive bonuses. CEO Rigby is a major shareholder, so in effect awards himself a commission when he keeps infrastructure spending low and dividends high. After the mega-thunderstorm, Dominion Power [another provider in the area] took 14 hours to restore all its transformers and main feeder lines... while Pepco took 36 hours... Within 48 hours of the storm, Dominion had 2,000 out-of-state workers present to assist in restoration; Pepco had just 300. If Pepco drags its feet on recovery, the utility avoids paying doubletime or tripletime, plus expenses, to out-of-state crews.
a German friend visiting us this weekend asked the simple question: WHY ARE ALL THE POWER LINES ABOVE GROUND. WHY INDEED. Here is the perfect stimulus program.
The cities that move to the modern age will immediately have business flock to "power safe" environments. Republicans will scream COST. Boehner, Cantor, McConnell: if you have power, answer this question!The total real ost of NOT going underground must be in the billions per anum all across urban USA.
I came back home last night shocked to find my place in complete darkness. I fumbled to the basement where the electricity control panel is and did that switch on and off thing -- nothing happened. I thought I must have forgotten to pay the electricity bills! It was not until half an hour later when I received a voicemail [presumably on cell phone] from my roommate that I learned what happened. I thought: fine, I can live without air-conditioner for one night.
But when I got into the shower and there was no hot water, it suddenly hit me that I was not in China any more! Because in China, a lot of households have solar-powered water heating. And we've had it for more than a decade in my house. I took it for granted that even when the power was down, I could still have a nice hot shower, only that's not true in the States! Alas, if only DC had solar panels on its rooftops.
Sorry about the ranting. Last night's experience was just too shocking and funny for me. As you wrote in your post, I didn't expect a major city like DC would have a power outage in some neighborhoods (mine) for a week.
Obviously, one solution is underground power line burial. However, it is abundantly clear that ratepayers do not wish to pay for the burial of power lines.
Perhaps this storm will change their minds. Perhaps not.
So everything Zehner said sounded so logical and conclusive until I read your piece this morning. You reminded me of one of the real advantages of alternatives to centralized power production, the idea of "distributed generation". (Here is a link to a Virginia Tech website that describes the concept.) Put simply, if every building was generating some or all of its own electricity, seems a lot less likely that we would have major catastrophes when a tree is blown over.
So the question is, which infrastructure do we want to put our dollars into?
Here in earthquake country, we are frequently exhorted to be prepared to be on our own for a time when "a" and/or "the" big one hits. So perhaps emulating that preparedness (note to self, must check the expiration dates on the freeze-dried foods and get a fresh round of water...and prime the petards) on the East Coast would be a good idea. Ultrapasteurized milk for the kids, drinking water, etc. Perhaps even some small generators to keep fridges and whatnot going.
Drifting ever so slightly, it was mildly ironic that both images of "tree versus automobile" had SUVs, with their relatively larger consumption of fossil fuels and released-carbon contribution. Speaking of automobiles, they are rather inefficient generators, but there are small refrigerators that operate off of 12v car current. Probably large enough to keep some vital medicine cool.
After the jump, a very long message representative of many I have received.
If you own your home, I assume you have homeowner's insurance, which is designed to help you in case your home was damaged by the storm.
Likewise, you may also have comprehensive auto insurance, which can help you repair the damage that the tree might have done to your car. And I assume that you have some form of health insurance, which would help you take care of any medical problems caused by the storm.
By purchasing such insurance, you acknowledge that bad things happen, and you choose to purchase insurance to help you deal with such events, such as a bad storm. You prepared. All on your own.
When it comes to a loss of electricity due to the same storm, you have indicated that it's unacceptable that utility companies take up to 5 calendar days, presumably working 24 hours a day, to repair extensive damage and restore power to thousands of customers.
Okay, so it's unacceptable to you, and the families with kids, and particularly seniors whose health / lives may be threatened by the heat. I totally understand that it can be a major inconvenience or even a life threatening situation, and it makes you realize how incredibly dependent we are on electricity for nearly every aspect of our lives today. 5 days without electricity can obviously be a serious issue, especially in the extreme weather of winter or summer.
Why is it that you presumably prepare for harm to your house, your car, and your body, but don't prepare for a few days without electricity? Isn't it possible for you to take responsibility for your temporary electrical needs in case of such an event?
You say that "America's motto is supposed to be resilience." By America, do you mean someone other than you, such as your electric utility and your Federal and local Government keepers? And by resilience, do you mean that someone else, such as a large corporation, or the magical all-providing Federal and local Government, is supposed to take care of your problems, in the time window that suits you?
I propose an alternate interpretation of your phrase. America = You. Resilience = Preparedness. Implicit in that is a strong theme of personal responsibility, which I think is a much better theme to share than blame or criticisms of others.
I live in a Los Angeles suburb, which as you know from living here, is prone to occasional earthquakes. And Los Angeles obviously has some history with civil unrest and regularly has typical urban problems ranging from transformer explosions to water main ruptures. Bad things happen.
I have attended a 3 day CERT course offered free of charge by my city. The number one theme that is stressed in all aspects of the excellent training program is that above all else, CERT members need to be responsible for taking care of themselves and their families for an extended period of time in the event of a major disaster or emergency. I live in a city of 110,000 people with 25 fire department employees on call at any given time. The fire department personnel who taught the CERT class emphasized that in case of a city wide emergency, these simple numbers obviously dictate that the fire department and EMT personnel can't possibly attend to the needs of dozens or hundreds of simultaneous emergencies--and those first responders have families too. In such a case, they continuously emphasized that I am on my own. And I'm perfectly fine with that.
My city, in conjunction with a local corporate sponsor, offers free 30 gallon emergency water barrels to residents and has an excellent program with constant newspaper articles and ads encouraging city residents to prepare for a disaster (including the free CERT training). They have a reverse 911 system with a web site that lets you sign up for alerts via phone, SMS, and e-mail. They have an emergency preparedness team that coordinates with the city CERT members and we have monthly CERT meetings. And they offer discounted first aid and CPR classes to all residents.
I am absolutely not a "doomsday prepper", but I am an Eagle Scout who believes in the motto of "Be Prepared", and I'm very interested in taking care of my family in the event of a foreseeable disaster or emergency. I have over 90 gallons of dedicated emergency water ready, within the range recommended by CERT and FEMA guidelines. I have several weeks of emergency food for my family. I have a complete first aid kit, a decent emergency supplies cache, and two 'business-grade' fire extinguishers. I have two emergency cooking stoves, a case of butane, and an extra propane cylinder for the BBQ. It doesn't take up much space and it's all tucked away neatly in my garage or by the side of my house. I conduct simple emergency preparedness drills with my family at least twice a year to cover the basic response to an earthquake. My two young daughters absolutely love it because they get light sticks and get to play with our emergency lantern and LED headlamps as they help with the drill. My four year old regularly asks me when we can "practice the house shaking and lights going out". All of this is normal for my family.
You may recall that in September 2011, routine maintenance at a southwestern power facility caused a massive blackout from San Diego to Mexico.
After watching the chaos unfold in San Diego, I realized that I didn't have any options for backup power. I had previously considered an emergency generator but couldn't justify the purchase--until I saw what happens when an entire city (region) loses power for an extended period of time. No lights, no communications, no traffic control, and no groceries or gasoline in many locations. Chaos.
I made a quick trip to the local Honda Power dealer and drove home with a very simple portable generator that can power my refrigerator, lights, computer, and charge mobile devices. And I purchased several extension cords that I can run throughout my house. My generator runs on gasoline, so I now have 20 gallons of emergency gasoline in four jugs that are tucked away on the side of the house. The fuel can run the generator for 20 days, or it can top off our minivan in case we choose to try and leave the city.
My preparation and planning will never be perfect and will never be complete, but I think it's pretty darn good. It cost me far less than 1 year of our health insurance premiums and only took a few days of work over the last few years to build up our supplies. There are probably dozens of web sites and forums dedicated to emergency preparedness, from basic first aid to the now popular full-scale global zombie outbreak, and there are plenty of specialty stores and web sites that sell the less common supplies. In the age of the Internet, such preparation is not difficult.
Obviously I have no expectations or misconceptions that everyone can or will be sufficiently prepared for any given disaster, or that even a majority of people will even be minimally prepared, but I wanted to counter your complaint about the time it takes utilities to recover from such an event and point out that this is an opportunity for everyone to learn and prepare. The American people are far from helpless and have many opportunities to take care of themselves instead of expecting someone else to take care of them, or being at the mercy of a utility repair crew or a government agency.
To which I say: Of course we all prepare to protect ourselves against foreseeable risks. We buy insurance because we know that the relevant risks -- car crashes, break-ins, accidents, expensive disease -- are part of the roster of life's uncertainties. When I was growing up in Southern California, of course our family had an earthquake-prep kit, as my wife and I also did when living with our children in Japan.
But until recently, I had no reason to think that repeated, multi-day power outages were in that same category of foreseeable risk. In our previous decades as homeowners in DC, these episodes had not lasted more than a few hours at worst. We didn't think we needed our own electric supply, any more than we needed our own private military to guard against invaders from Canada or wherever.
Now a combination of more extreme weather, and the infeasibility of moving all wires quickly (or ever) underground, means that the "normal" risk factor has expanded to not being able to rely on power from the utility company. These two episodes will change everyone's idea of what "being prepared" means. Still the original point remains: this shift in the risk profile shows something about the effect of a more violent and extreme climate, and something about American infrastructure. Happy impending Fourth of July.

Good tour but need more trolleys as many people were left waiting for over an hour and then the trolley was too full to pick them up. We were afraid to get off at any stop as we might not be able to get back on.

Bad Schönborn. Andreas Raelert is the new European Champion on the middle distance. In 3:48:15 hours the 35-year old from Rostock defended his title at the Challenge Kraichgau in a memorable way. He celebrated his victory after an extraordinary fast run split at the finish line in Bad Schönborn. "These are the happiest moments in sports", Andreas Raelert said after his victory, "I had not the best day on the bike today and had to show everything in the run." The world record holder on the Ironman distance won the European Championships in a new course record time. Andreas Raelert claimed the title with a clear lead over the Frenchman Sylvain Sudrie (3:50:57 hours) and local hero Sebastian Kienle (3:51:11 hours).
From the beginning Andreas Raelert was part of the leading group during the swim in Lake Hardtsee. He came out of water after 23:26 minutes – he was only eight seconds behind the fastest swimmer Viktor Aloshyn from Russia. Within seconds the first 15 athletes stormed out of the water and set a fast pace on the bike. "I had not my best day on the bike", Andreas Raelert mentioned after the race, "it was tough for me." Although he came directly from an altitude training camp in Switzerland to the European Championships he could always stay with the best riders on the challenging course of 90 kilometers. On the bike the speed especially accelerated when Sebastian Kienle caught up with the leading group after 25 kilometers.
Sylvain Sudrie from France launched an attack after 70 kilometers on the bike – and this was the decisive break-away from the chasing pack. He reached T2 with a lead of nearly 40 seconds ahead of Konstantin Bachor from Germany. The group with defending champion Andreas Raelert, last year's runner-up Sebastian Kienle and Timo Bracht followed by a minute behind. For 90 kilometers on the bike Andreas Raelert needed 2:12:51 hours.
Andreas Raelert started into his run like an athlete on the olympic distance: After only three kilometers of the half marathon he had gained 30 seconds on Frenchman Sylvain Sudrie and was in second place. Shortly after that he took over the lead. "I had to try everything in the run", the new European champion said, "and I'm pretty happy that it worked." After 10 kilometers of the challenging run course his lead was more than a minute on Sylvain Sudrie and Sebastian Kienle. On the way to the finish line Andreas Raelert expanded his lead more and more. Andreas Raelert nailed down his victory with an outstanding half marathon time of 1:09:29 hours and celebrated another impressive win of his career.
Andreas Raelert is the world's fastest athlete on the Ironman distance. He holds the world record since July 10th 2011 - when Andreas won the Challenge Roth in 7:41:33 hours. He moved over to the Ironman distance in 2008 after a successful career on the Olympic distance. Andreas is a two-time Olympian: He reached 6th place at the Olympics in Athens 2004 and 12th place at the Olympics in Sydney 2000. Andreas won his debut on the Ironman distance at the Ironman Arizona in 2008. In 2009 he gave his debut at the legendary Hawaii Ironman and got third. In 2010 he won the Ironman European Championship in Frankfurt and got second at the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. 2011 he won the Challenge Roth with world best time on the bike (4:11:43 hours) - and was again third in Hawaii. Andreas Raelert was born August 11th 1976 in Rostock.


Links to models stored elsewhere, and other libraries of models.
I just published three short videos with sample models, illustrating representation of discrete and random events in Vensim.
In formulating a model of an industrial operation, we suggest that the system be treated, at least initially, on the basis of continuous flows and interactions of the variables. Discreteness of events is entirely compatible with the concept of information-feedback systems, but we must be on guard against unnecessarily cluttering our formulation with the detail of discrete events that only obscure the momentum and continuity exhibited by our industrial systems.
In beginning, decisions should be formulated in the model as if they were continuously (but not implying instantaneously) responsive to the factors on which they are based. This means that decisions will not be formulated for intermittent reconsideration each week, month or year. For example, factory production capacity would vary continuously, not by discrete additions. Ordering would go on continuously, not monthly when the stock records are reviewed.
These comments should never be construed as suggesting that the model builder should lack interest in the microscopic separate events that occur in a continuous-flow channel. The course of the continuous flow is the course of the separate events in it. By studying individual events we get a picture of how decisions are made and how the flows are delayed. The study of individual events is on of our richest sources of information about the way the flow channels of the model should be constructed. When a decision is actually being made regularly on a periodic basis, like once a month, the continuous-flow equivalent channel should contain a delay of half the interval; this represents the average delay encountered by information in the channel.
The preceding comments do not imply that discreteness is difficult to represent, nor that it should forever be excluded from a model. At times it will become significant. For example, it may create a disturbance that will cause system fluctuations that can be mistakenly interreted as externally generated cycles (…). When a model has progressed to the point where such refinements are justified, and there is reason to believe that discreteness has a significant influence on system behavior, discontinuous variables should then be explored to determine their effect on the model.
In the current work, a simple validated project model has been used to quantify the schedule impacts of three common reinforcing feedback loops (rework cycle, "haste makes waste", and ripple effects) in a single phase of a project. Quantifying the sizes of different reinforcing loop impacts on project durations in a simple but realistic project model can be used to clearly show and explain the magnitude of these impacts to project management practitioners and students, and thereby the importance of using system dynamics in project management.
This is a more formal and thorough look at some issues that I raised a while ago, here and here.
The graph shows that, regardless of the value of the variables, the rework cycle has the most impact on project duration, ranging from 1.2 to 26.5 times more than the next most influential loop. As the high level of the variables increases, the impact of "haste makes waste" and "ripple effects" loops increases.
Project failure occurs when it crosses the tipping point at which completing one task creates more than one task of rework (red flows). Some rework is inevitable due to the error rate ("rework fraction" – orange), i.e. the inverse of quality. A high rework fraction, all by itself, can torpedo the project.
which means that the ripple effect can only cause problems if quality is poor to begin with.
Similarly, schedule pressure (green) only contributes to rework when backlogs are large and work accomplished is small relative to scheduled ambitions. For that to happen, one of two things must occur: rework and ripple effects delay completion, or the schedule is too ambitious at the outset.
There's a nice description of the tipping point dynamics here.
MIT's Climate Collaboratorium has posted java code that it used to wrap C-LEARN as a web service using the multicontext .dll. If you're doing something similar, you may find the code useful, particularly the VensimHelper class. The liberal MIT license applies. However, be aware that you'll need a license for the Vensim multicontext .dll to go with it.
1) To develop a model that reasonably simulates the historic attacks by the al-Qaida terrorist network against the United States.
2) To evaluate the usefulness of the model for developing public understanding of the terrorism problem.
The full model and report are available on my website.
The reference mode for this model was the escalation of attacks linked to al-Qaida against the U.S., as shown below. The data for this chart is available through this Google Document.
Below is the causal diagram of the primary feedback loops in the model.
There is an online story version that explains the primary model structure as well as complete iThink and Vensim models on my MQP page.

Tokyo seeks to achieve progress in talks with Russia on signing a peace treaty, and, in particular, settling a number of accompanying issues such as joint economic activity, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Thursday.
TOKYO (Sputnik) — Japan's prime minister also confirmed his plans to visit Russia's Vladivostok in September to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"I intend to achieve progress in the resolution of the problem of signing a peace treaty, while securing free travel for the former residents [of the South Kuril islands] and ensuring joint economic activity," Abe said at a press conference.

Trump, Abe Agree to Step Up Economic, Diplomatic Pressure on North Korea
Russian-Japanese relations have long been complicated by the fact that the two nations have never signed a permanent peace treaty after the end of World War II. No deal was reached due to a disagreement over a group of four islands claimed by both countries: Iturup, Kunashir, Shikotan and Habomai (collectively referred to as the South Kuril Islands).
In December 2016, Putin paid a two-day working visit to Japan. During the visit to Nagato, Abe's home town, the two leaders discussed joint economic activity on the South Kuril Islands.
In April, Abe and Putin reached an agreement to provide former residents of the Kuril Islands with an opportunity to travel to the islands by plane without visas.
On the sidelines of the G7 summit, held in early July, the Russian president expressed hope that an intensive dialogue with Japan would help solve long-standing problems and allow for the development of bilateral relations.

Sorry, I'm not an authority on "forks" of Plan 9 - I have been using the standard Bell Labs distribution since 1995, and I'm happy to stay with that. Although it is regularly updated, I would not refer to it as "unstable" - new features continue to be based on the same simple set of design principles and compatible with existing interfaces, and the system remains reliable and predictable.
The 9pi file system image was created by installing a daily install/live CD image from the Bell Labs download page and then compiling all the libraries and commands with objtype=arm (the CD contains binaries for x86 only). You could build one yourself the same way.

Oh, I thought you knew about forks and community builds, sorry!
About the word "unstable", well, I supposed the current development version is as stable as a fixed release, but it's just a word. I mean "not an official, fixed release". But it's a little longer to write .

I see. So I can build an image for Rpi on a already installed Plan 9 system, much like in Linux.
From what I have seen, your patches are already uploaded on the current sources (dunno if they will work on 4th Ed P9, but whatever, it's just try and error). But I don't know if your images are compiled with hard float support like Raspbian in order to improve raw performance. Do you know where can I investigate about all compile options for Plan 9?
9pi wrote: Another alternative operating system is now available for the Raspberry Pi: Plan 9 from Bell Labs (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9). There's an installable image (about 144MB compressed) at http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/cont ... 9pi.img.gz – to try it, just gunzip to the start of a 2GB+ SD card and boot.
FYI - I tried this out - as far as I can tell, the imaging went fine, and the thing booted up just fine, but it didn't recognize my keyboard or mouse.
This is a (more or less) standard USB keyboard with a wireless dongle plugged into the keyboard for the mouse (so it only takes up one of the Pi's USB ports). This is the standard rig for keyboard and mouse that I've used for all my testing with SBC's - and it has worked fine on all of them. That is, everything up to, but not including, this Plan 9 image.
Joe Schmoe wrote: ... it didn't recognize my keyboard or mouse.
When did you download the image? The latest version (19 December) has some further usb keyboard / mouse corrections which might help.
If not, I suggest editing your cmdline.txt file to remove the parameter 'user=glenda' and add the parameter 'kbargs=-d'. The first will prevent auto-starting of the rio desktop, and the second will give some debugging information about the keyboard + mouse driver.
,,, I don't know if your images are compiled with hard float support like Raspbian in order to improve raw performance. Do you know where can I investigate about all compile options for Plan 9?
Yes, you can use the replica/pull command to keep up to date with sources, and also with the pi-specific parts of the kernel (until they are merged into the main sources tree). I'll post separately about that because this topic is getting too long.
The Plan 9 C compiler for arm doesn't support the newer vfp floating point architecture yet, but it will soon.
I want to setup my network but I am not sure what this means (See below) and what to do to set it up. Is there a step by step procedure for doing this?
"If your pi is connected to a network with DHCP service, you will want to copy cmdline-demo-net.txt to cmdline.txt in the boot partition. This will enable networking, and use NTP to set the clock at boot time."
Brewgod23, you need to copy the cmdline.txt files when you are not running Plan 9. So, put your SD card into a card reader and when you put it into your PC you should see two partitions and the cmdline.txt and cmdline-demo-net.txt will be visible on the first partition (either vfat or fat32 partition; I cannot remember which).
Once you have replaced the cmdline.txt file, reboot the Pi (make sure it is connected to your network) and as long as your network uses DHCP, then you should automatically acquire an IP address and the clock time will be set as well.
So all I do is copy cmdline-demo-net.txt from one partition into the other partition where cmdline.txt resides?

Any chance of sticking a changelog up somewhere/labelling images with version numbers (or at least dates) so people can see when there's a new one and which one they have?
Muzer wrote: Any chance of sticking a changelog up somewhere/labelling images with version numbers (or at least dates) so people can see when there's a new one and which one they have?
Traditionally Plan 9 hasn't had a change log, and there are no "versions". We just do a "replica/pull" from time to time and see what comes in. I'm a fairly cautious person so I generally do a pull with the "-n" option first.
The modification date of file /dist/replica/client/plan9.time will tell you when you last updated from Bell Labs sources. The modification date of most of the device files in /dev is set to the date the running kernel was built.
other time servers are available.
I did set TIMESYNCARGS elsewhere, but it didn't seem to work.
chadlongstaff wrote: I did set TIMESYNCARGS elsewhere, but it didn't seem to work.
Have a look at the script /bin/termrc.local - if parameter ipconfig is set in cmdline.txt, this script should be setting TIMESYNCARGS, which will result in the /bin/termrc script calling aux/timesync. The ipconfig variable is normally defined to be a null string (as in the example cmdline-demo-net.txt) to configure the network via DHCP, but you can also use it to pass parameters to the ip/ipconfig command and configure things explicitly.
i have tried to download boot image, but the server gives HTTP Error 500. Alternative file sources?
Has anyone tried any of our favorite usb/wifi adaptors with Plan 9?
just curious if anyone has gotten one running and what you did to do so?
So I like the plan9 port, it's very fast on a Pi, makes the PI feel really responsive!
I thought it would be nice to have temperature reading in Plan9 (cputemp device). I sent patch to Plan9. If you'd like to test it you can find it here: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/patch/bcm-cputemp/ I'm not sure if it is good enough (changes are small, using already implemented in Plan9 VideoCore API).
I read about Plan9 long time ago but never had a chance to play with. This RPi port is just amazing job. I really enjoy discovering Plan9. Thanks!

Is Your Pastor FAITHFUL ?
[In the modern era of easy religion and seeker friendly churches, the question still needs to be asked, and it also needs to be earnestly answered. Is your pastor faithful? I don't just mean faithful to his wife or spouse. I also mean to his or her calling as a minister. What is this calling you ask? A minister's calling is to faithfully preach the Word, the Gospel, or the Good News. This Gospel is what Jesus has done for us. It is the declaration of the Great Atonement of Jesus Christ for sin. That is, the blood work demanded and accomplished, for all the sins of all of the Elect who are in Christ Jesus. But if this calling, this preaching, is to be faithful, it must also encompass the fact that our salvation is from sin, and is not our salvation in sin. Why is this important? Because salvation from sin mandates a clear call to repentance, and the Christian to walk in holiness, and in separation from this world's fleshly values, desires and ambitions.
But if your pastor does not also include, or stress a call to repentance in his ministry, and a call to holiness; that is, to walk differently from the world and its values and desires, but rather seeks to walk as closely to the world as possible, can you say that he is being faithful to his calling? No! From the Scriptures, you cannot. –MWP]
There is one tombstone in the Kiltearn Churchyard…
…more remarkable than all the others. It lies beside the church-door, and testifies, in an antique inscription, that it covers the remains of the "Great man of God and faithful minister of Jesus Christ" who had endured persecution for the truth in the dark days of Charles and his brother. He had outlived the tyranny of the Stuarts, and though worn by years and sufferings had returned to his parish after the Revolution, to end his course as it had begun. Calculating aright on the abiding influence of his own character among them.
He gave charge on his deathbed to dig his grave in the threshold of the church, that they might regard him as a sentinel placed at the door, and that his tombstone might speak to them as they passed in and out.
The inscription, which, after the lapse of nearly a century and a half (as of 1830), is still perfectly legible, and concludes with the following remarkable words:
"THIS STONE SHALL BEAR WITNESS AGAINST THE PARISHIONERS OF KILTEARN IF THEY BRING AN UNGODLY MINISTER IN HERE."
Written by Hugh Miller.
Meet the Author and part of your Christian heritage: Hugh Miller (1802–1856) Scottish geologist and writer, folklorist and an evangelical Christian. He was a self-taught Born in Cromarty, he was educated in a parish school where he reportedly showed a love of reading. At 17 he was apprenticed to a stonemason, and his work in quarries, together with walks along the local shoreline, led him to the study of geology. In 1829 he published a volume of poems, and soon afterwards became involved in political and religious controversies, first connected to the Reform Bill, and then with the division in the Church of Scotland which led to the Disruption of 1843.
In 1834 he became accountant in one of the local banks, and in the next year brought out his Scenes and Legends in the North of Scotland. In 1840 the popular party in the Church, with which he had been associated, started a newspaper, the Witness, and Miller was called to be editor in Edinburgh, a position which he retained till the end of his life.
Among his geological works are The Old Red Sandstone (1841), Footprints of the Creator (1850), The Testimony of the Rocks (1856), Sketch-book of Popular Geology. Of these books, perhaps The Old Red Sandstone was the best-known. The Old Red Sandstone is still a term used to collectively describe sedimentary rocks deposited as a result of the Caledonian orogeny in the late Silurian, Devonian and earliest part of the Carboniferous period.
Miller held that the Earth was of great age, and that it had been inhabited by many species which had come into being and gone extinct, and that these species were homologous; although he believed the succession of species showed progress over time, he did not believe that later species were descended from earlier ones. He denied the Epicurean theory that new species occasionally budded from the soil, and the Lamarckian theory of development of species, as lacking evidence. He argued that all this showed the direct action of a benevolent Creator, as attested in the Bible – the similarities of species are manifestations of types in the Divine Mind; he accepted the view of Thomas Chalmers that Genesis begins with an account of geological periods, and does not mean that each of them is a day; Noah's Flood was a limited subsidence of the Middle East. Geology, to Miller, offered a better version of the argument from design than William Paley could provide, and answered the objections of sceptics, by showing that living species did not arise by chance or by impersonal law.
In a biographical review about him, he was recognized as an exceptional person by Sir David Brewster, who said of him:
"Mr. Miller is one of the few individuals in the history of Scottish science who have raised themselves above the labors of an humble profession, by the force of their genius and the excellence of their character, to a comparatively high place in the social scale."
For most of 1856, Miller suffered severe headaches and mental distress, and the most probable diagnosis is of psychotic depression. Victorian medicine did not help. He feared that he might harm his wife or children because of persecutory delusions.
Miller committed suicide, shooting himself in the chest with a revolver in his house on Tower Street, Portobello, on the night he had finished checking printers' proofs for his book on Scottish fossil plants and vertebrates, The Testimony of the Rocks. Before his death, he wrote a poem called Strange but True.
A shocked Western world mourned him, and his funeral procession was among the largest in the memory of Edinburgh residents.
He is buried in the Grange Cemetery in Edinburgh.
[ A NOTE TO MY READERS AS TO THE PURPOSE OF THESE STORIES: Recently, I have written about Christians who before us have suffered great persecution and/or died in the cause of Christ.
I do not do this because I have less regard for theology than I once had, or that I now scorn the importance of those doctrines which were once given unto the saints. Nor, do I wish to lessen those scriptures which are they that do testify of Christ. And even more importantly, I do not wish to glorify man; so there is no need to sensationalize or even to make significant the facts of their deaths or of their persecution. For in one sense, that is truly not what is important.
Rather, I wish to make alive their faith, to make alive their living faith which was their living testimony unto Christ Jesus. They were not all great Christians. Many of those that I read and write about had significant flaws, some morally and some theologically… But all had found "The Christ." And they each had witnessed to, and testified of that living Christ which takes away the sins of the world.
Having done all, these Christians stood, and their stories still stand today, demonstrating to us and pointing to us their Lord, both with their teachings, but more importantly, with their lives. And therein lies the power… They were totally committed.
As you look around yourself, do you see that type of commitment? As you look deep within yourself, do you see yourself standing in their shoes? Can you say, with grace, "If called, there go I?" As you look around your church, can you sense, as a member, an increasing importance of who we are in Christ Jesus, or do you see an increasing importance of who we are in the world? From your vantage point, which seems to be most important?
Never before has the Christian Church been assaulted on so many fronts. Never before, has it faced so many enemies from without and enemies from within. One shudders at the sound of all the axes being laid to the roots of our Christian heritage, and we ask ourselves, "When Christ comes will he find faith on the earth?" To this question, I am deeply stirred with a sense of urgency.
Today, I call to you wherever you are, find your commitment, find your passion, find who you really are –in Christ! Resolve in yourself right now, to make Him and his cause, the purpose for your highest commitment, and the reason for your deepest passion. I can tell you, that you will never be sorry.
As apostates and apostasy continues in the church, I seek new ways of pointing others to Jesus. In this new project, to which at this time I am now committed, I will strive mightily to point to our blessed Savior through the fingers and lives of those Christians who have once lived and died for Christ, and whose voices and anthems, I believe, now blend with the others from the church triumphant, and with the angels and cherubim as they circle around the throne of the Living God; "To whom be glory forever. Amen." –MWP]

Indianapolis, In. — DANGO ROSE

Reflections from the Road (09/22/16) Indianapolis, In.
People are just fine in Indianapolis with their city having little to no reputation. That makes it possible for them to have some of the finest vintage clothing stores and farm to table restaurants around. A city which prides itself on backlit magenta fountains and Greek statues, its homage to Athena doesn't quite cover up the random knifing that just occurred behind the local bus-stop in broad daylight. Nearly all downtown pavement leads to the city's central farmers market. Here, even local police officers will line up for beet juice and fresh acai bowls from the Amazon jungle. Shortly after racially profiling a black man underneath Interstate 69, Officer Lancaster re-directs course to a leaking bathroom stall, where he will ponder deeply his existential situation, while shitting red. With such a burgeoning health consciousness running deep through the bowels of its law enforcement, one may not fully comprehend why Indiana ranks #5 in obesity in these United States. A city which rose up blue for Bernie, yet will undoubtedly turn red for Trump, Indianapolis is an anomaly of its own devices. A most cleverly named capitol city; known to truck drivers as The Crossroads of America, yet to its locals, it will always remain – The city of Indaina – otherwise known as Indianapolis.

We're still enjoying making and playing with our stash of seashells from our week at the beach. Today we turned a few of them into little seaside cottages, so our fairies could go on holiday. They're super easy to make, and are doubly good because they make great little play scenes once you've finished crafting. We love making things that then turn into even more opportunities to play!
To make the fairy houses we picked a few shells out from our collection and decorated them with permanent markers – as easy as that! The houses can be as simple or intricate as your children like. Sometimes we want to spend a long time drawing and designing, and sometimes we just want to make something quickly, so we can then use it to play. This craft works either way.
They're great for playing with in the sandpit, where you can make a beach for the fairies' holiday.
Add in some more shells and some homemade fairy dolls, and you can imagine and tell stories as you play.
I'm so in love with these! We are going to the beach next weekend…perfect timing!


While shiny, bouncy hair is beautiful, oiliness and shine associated with your scalp producing excess grease and sebum. If your hair and scalp are greasy there are certain steps to take to avoid excess oil production. Find out why your hair is oily and how you can counteract it with the right treatments and products.
Your pores and sebaceous glands are producing excess oil and sebum which gives it a greasy appearance. There are many causes for overproduction ranging from nutrition to stress to hormones.
1. Use a Clarifying Shampoo:cut through your hair's oil by using a clarifying shampoo daily. This will help it look less greasy.
2. Only condition your ends: if you have oily hair avoid making your hair oilier by adding conditioner to your scalp.
3. Dry Shampoo: Absorb excess oil with dry shampoo particularly on your roots. This will lift them and will make your hair appear less greasy.
4. Don't touch your hair: Constantly touching your hair can transfer oil on your fingertips onto your hair making it appear more greasy. Avoid touching it unless you are styling it.

Q: Changing language without changing locale in JSF I currently have a JSF application which sets the locale based on a user's choice of language. He gets a dropdown, and when choosing English, I set the locale to en, etc.
This works very nice with number formats as well as with the language strings loaded from my ResourceBundle.
So for en, I get English words and a . as decimal seperator.
For fr, I get French and a , as decimal seperator.
However, there is now a requirement that for this website, the number format must always have a , as decimal seperator. So, I was thinking to keep the locale fixed to fr.
Still the user must be able to change his language.
So, is it possible in JSF to load a different language without changing the locale?

A: Seams you need a special solution for formatting, so overwriting the formatters might be the better solution. I think JSF supports replacing the default number format.

A: Just explicitly specify the locale attribute of the <f:convertNumber> tags which you're using there.
E.g.
<f:convertNumber ... locale="fr" />

or something like
<f:convertNumber ... locale="#{app.defaultNumberLocale}" />

It would otherwise indeed default to UIViewRoot#getLocale(), as you're experiencing.
