"I think it's fair to say that it's the highlight of Lauren's year. Every year this is the thing she most looks forward to… Last year when I picked her up from the bus I had tears in my eyes because I was so happy to see her, and she had tears in her eyes because she was sad to be coming home.
I feel really really grateful that she has the opportunity to come and spend a good part of her summer here. The thing that I love about this camp is… that this is, in my mind, a true camp. You come and you enjoy the environment and you are taken away from what you have in the city– you're not connected to your phone ,you're not connected to your computer. You get to experience being with other people and do activities that you can't do at home. To live together and work together in this type of natural environment is invaluable. They really do have a sense of independence because they are not told every day what to do, they get to go and choose what they get to do, and I think that fosters independence.


I get asked this question a lot and the answer is, "yes." This is comforting to many and not such welcome news to others. In the psychological world, "screwed up" is better known as "neurotic." Psychoanalyst Karen Horney described neurosis as "a distorted way of looking at the world and oneself, determined by compulsive needs rather than by a genuine interest in the world as it is." Yep. Unfortunately we all do this to one degree or another, in one or more areas of our lives. The extent to which this occurs is in proportion to the severity of the mental and emotional suffering we experience.
There is a neurotic potential that is inherent to the structure of the human psyche and because of this universal potential the neurotic process is set in motion and shaped by experiences that are universal in infancy and early childhood, and not by exceptional or even specifically stressful circumstances, however dramatically these may influence it's later evolution. Were all of this not true, the neurotic process would not be universal.
I have in mind many events which occur daily in every life, and which are familiar to us in every culture. They shape our personalities, our potentials for psychological health and illness, and our potential creativity. Yet just because of their familiarity, their importance for human development has been overlooked. A further implication is that if we are ever to learn how to prevent or at least lessen the insidious destructive influence of the neurotic process, we shall have to re-examine the minutiae of the early steps of personality development, not when these are complicated by adverse environmental circumstances but in fortunate and benign situations.
Among the early external experiences which are universal and inescapable are the basic experiences of differences: the sharp changes in motion, sound, temperature, and light to which the human infant is incessantly exposed during his days as a Lilliputian in the world of seemingly eternal and Brobdignagian giants. Later come the toddler's encounters with further differences in size, bulk, weight, consistency, and also with the differences between those things which are and are not movable, which are hard and soft, rough and smooth, sharp and blunt, hot and cold.
Interwoven with the developmental experiences of an inner and outer world and adding to their complexity are other daily experiences which slowly bridge the gap between these two worlds. To take alien things from the outer world into that strange and mysterious bodily machine which ultimately signifies "Me" becomes at some point an overwhelming experience for every child. The concomitant daily experiences of bringing products forth from that Body and casting them off into the outer world of limitless space become equally strange and mysterious.
These universals are among the child's disturbing, primary encounters with reality, about which our elementary symbolic potential develops. To them are added other disturbing experiences of body differences with respect to size, shape, smell, color, and hairiness and especially, of course, the differences in all secondary sexual characteristics.

5 Things New to Me in 2015
patrick / December 10, 2015
As the year draws to a close, I find it natural to reflect on all of the things I've done. For me, this year in particular, that means consuming various types of media. Movies, TV Shows, Graphic Novels, and Books in particular. One thing that I did this year that I found particularly fun was going back and enjoying things that I only discovered this year that people have known about for a year or ten. This is a list of my favorite "New to me" things from 2015, in no particular order
1. The Monitor by Titus Andronicus
The Monitor is a sprawling album, one of the most dense things I've ever listened to. It is orchestral, droning, historical, and anthemic. If Titus Andronicus never produced another album, I'm sure that people would be talking about this album for years (much as still people still talk about In an Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel.) Titus Andronicus did not stop there, though. In fact, what drew me to this album was their most recent work, a rock opera called The Most Lamentable Tragedy. TMLT is so vast it is hard to comprehend, taking up 122 minutes across 4 LPs. When I wanted to listen to that album, I found myself lacking a place to start. It was very referential, and many of its better songs aren't fully appreciated without listening to their forebears. Instead of starting with this huge piece of work, I decided to explore their back catalog. In the process of doing so, I discovered The Monitor. The Monitor was a critically aclaimed album released in 2010, and it creates parallels between a break up, mental illness, New Jeresy and the American Civil War. If that sounds like a lofty goal, that is because it is.
I will be totally honest here and admit that I had heard several of the songs on this album before. I had even seen the band live in 2014, at the request of a long time friend. Back then I found their music a cacophony, the only really enjoyable parts being the refrains that were easy to sing along with. It was this initial dislike that kept me away from The Monitor at first. But as reviews came in for the Most Lamentable Tragedy, some going so far as to call it the album of the year, I decided to give The Monitor another listen. To my delight, I found sounds and music that I had entirely missed before. Whereas I had only really liked the first song, A More Perfect Union, I realized that other songs captured ideas and emotions that rung true with me. My personal favorite is now Four Score and Seven, which uses horns to augment the melody.
I will be listening to this album for a long time, and it has become my go to thing to listen to when I want to be distracted by the music.
I always thought I would outgrow my crass humor stage. Throughout high school, I found myself laughing at awful jokes at the expense of people, and the fact that they appealed to me so much was something that I felt was a personal flaw. As the years went on, however, I began to realize that much of life is hard if you don't take the time to laugh at it.
It was hard for me to miss Rick and Morty in its initial run, but somehow I did that entirely. Rick and Morty is a show that was seeded as an idea of a parody of Back to the Future, where an old drunk scientist interacts with his young and impressionable neighbor. For somewhat obvious reasons, though, they couldn't use that exact idea, nor the intended names (Doc and Marty). Instead they morphed the show slightly, making Morty a little younger than Marty, and creating a grandfather-grandson relationship between them. They did not, however, remove any of the foul bits. Rick and Morty is as touching as it is vulgar, though, with moments of sweetness followed by haunting depravity. (For example, the first episode ends with Morty demonstrating knowledge that his grandfather taught him, placating his parents. Shortly thereafter though Rick breaks it to him that he is really just high on a particular drug, and he has no intellect at all).
Most funny shows you watch once and laugh at the jokes. The best shows keep you thinking about their jokes. Rick and Morty one ups the formula, and uses methodical violations of every ideal you hold to make you laugh. It hurts to laugh at Rick and Morty because of the truth it holds, but it also feels great to let all of the pent up emotions about the sad state of the world out.
Not only does Rick and Morty do comedy well, it is also one of the most entertaining Sci-fi series on TV today. It takes many classic tropes, including an inception like dream sequence and a oddly familiar body shrinking and organ exploring episode, and plays them off in comedic ways. It feels like Mystery Science Theater 3000 of old, only instead of robots offering us rifftrax the jokes are actually built in to the show.
Rick and Morty certainly is not for everyone, but it offers me the funniest and most poignant show on any TV channel.
3. The Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson
Fantasy gets a bad rap amongst the general population. When I talk about liking fantasy, most people think of fat nerds rattling on about elves and swords and sorcery. Mistborn does a good job of subverting those notions while still offering the escapist quality that made Fantasy so popular in the first place. While I may be a bit of a fat nerd myself, I don't spend my time thinking about Tolkienesque sequences. Instead I wonder about deeply logical magic and heist stories, thinking about entire cosmologies.
Mistborn is a story about a world where the evil emperor won. The hordes that he used ot conquer the world now act as shackles for the entire world, holding them under his grasp. He has raised up a world with two distinct classes full of normalities that will be familiar to us all – the need to eat, and the strain of a hard day's work. The magic used in these stories is not arcane or incomprehensible, In fact, it plays an important role in both society and the economy. The story also plays with religion, going so far as to feature a character who chronicles past religions and seeks to keep their memories.
There was something refreshing about this book the first time I read it. Instead of having a damsel in distress, the main character is a quick witted woman who is strong and confident. It also puts a clever twist on the savior story, creating someone who has obvious flaws and yet can still act as a leader.
It is not to say that the trilogy does not have its flaws. I found certain character traits to be insufferable – especially when the main female character, who I thought was so good for not being a traditionally feminine character, gains an affectation for pretty dresses and balls. However, the weak points are far outweighed by the strong, and I find myself continually coming back to works by this author.
4. Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven by Godspeed! You Black Emperor
It all started with Akira. I have always been interested in anime, for as long as I can remember, and one of my favorite pieces of anime is the film about motorcycle gangs in post-apocalyptic Tokyo. One night, in a spurious session of "Where will Wikipedia take me", I found myself on the article about Bōsōzoku, or Japanese youth motorcycle gangs. Following that, I found a link that looked familiar: "Godspeed! You Black Emperor". It was a documentary about a particular of these types of gangs, following them around and documenting their interactions with their parents and each other. It was an obscure film, but apparently well known enough to gain followers. Incidentally, a post-rock band from Canada named themselves after it, which is where I recognized the name. Interested in their music, I gave a quick search to find what most people regarded as their best album, Raise Your Skinny Fists.
When I turned it on, it struck me as something very ambient. I found myself enjoying the almost orchestral sound, while at the same time satisfying my sometimes insatiable desire for distorted guitars and catchy drum beats. Listening to it, I knew that I had found something that I was going to enjoy for a long time.
My real appreciation of the album came only during November. Every year during November, I do my best to write a novel as a part of what is known as "National Novel Writing Month", or NaNoWriMo. This year I knew I would need a proper soundtrack to write to, and this album served as the perfect candidate. I must have listened to it two dozen times during that month, each time hearing a new layer or facet that intrigued me. I went so far as to promise myself that if I finished NaNoWriMo (which I had never done before) I would buy the album on vinyl. I did manage to finish, and now I sit here waiting eagerly for the album to be delivered to my door.
Raise Your Skinny Fists is an easy album to get into from many different angles. It comes across as a cross between an elaborate orchestral suite, an experimental modern masterpiece, and a movie soundtrack. The first song in particular lends itself to new listeners, despite its intimidating 22 and a half minute running time. For those that choose to stick through, though, they will find themselves deep in a wide array of sounds.
The premise is simple: Take a washed up actor who used to star in a family friendly sitcom and give him addictions and vices. However, instead of setting this in a normal reality, set it in an alternate reality where anthropomorphized animals live and walk and participate in the same debauchery that human stars are famous for. Bojack Horseman takes a premise that has nothing to do with being human and draws deep humanity out of it. I was turned off, initially, because I didn't think that the story could be interesting. I was wrong.
Bojack Horseman is a story about addiction and facing your flaws. I found the story to be compelling partially because of the parallels it was able to draw with real life. Burnouts and deadbeats are a common sight in Hollywood today, and Bojack offers a look into why they became who they are. It does this through a wide array of characters, from the perpetually upbeat and annoying Mr Peanutbutter, to the man child Todd, to the overbearing but well intentioned agent Princess Carolyn. Each character in this show feels fleshed out and real, not just the joke that sparked their creation. The show managed to balance out these real characters with real issues by putting them in absurd situations. Whether it be Improv Comedy as a cult, or The renaming of Hollywood to Hollywoo because someone steals the D from the sign, the show does an excellent job of being a farce while still retaining believability.

Saving Lincoln Movie Review
Brent Simon
Title: Saving Lincoln
Director: Salvador Litvak
Starring: Tom Amandes, Lea Coco, Penelope Ann Miller, Bruce Davison, Creed Bratton, Josh Stamberg, Saidah Arrika, Ekulona
In addition to a slew of recent books, "Saving Lincoln" arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg's Oscar-nominated film, just in advance of this weekend's Tom Hanks-narrated "Killing Lincoln" on National Geographic, and not far behind a piece of mash-up entertainment that repositioned the 16th president of the United States as a neck-slashing sworn enemy of vampires. So what could director Salvador Litvak's micro-budgeted curiosity possibly contribute to the Lincoln canon? A decent bit, it turns out, if primarily for history buffs and open-minded arthouse cineastes.
The film is notable for two reasons — the first, and most readily apparent, being that it's built around a novelty compositing scheme that uses historical photographs to build scenic 3-D backdrops (more on this later). But "Saving Lincoln" also filters the story of Lincoln's ascendency and presidential struggles throughout the Civil War through the eyes of Ward Hill Lamon (Lea Coco), his former law partner and confidant. When the first attempt is made on Lincoln's life, in 1861, Lamon appoints himself the President's bodyguard. This narrative prism gives Lincoln's various subsequent crises of confidence a distinctly personal and human weight.
Some of the movie's drama is too on the nose and characterized by speechifying (Penelope Ann Miller appears as Mary Todd Lincoln, Bruce Davison as William Seward, Josh Stamberg as Salmon P. Chase and "The Office"'s Creed Bratton as Senator Charles Sumner), and other bits are outright tinny. The performances vary, too. Coco is all blustery earnestness, and Tom Amandes, as Lincoln, doesn't fully capture the in-his-bones weariness Lincoln feels from the weight of the war, instead relying on actorly mannerisms and tricks. Still, "Saving Lincoln" is an unusual exception to an old screenwriting rule — a movie whose framing device benefits and saves it much more than its actual execution.
Part of this has to do with some of the inherent interest and gravitas attached to certain scenes in and of themselves (Lincoln's arguing of the Emancipation Proclamation before his cabinet, and the Gettysburg Address), but a lot of it also has to do with the film's look, which alternately enchants and lowers one's demands or expectations of the movie. Working with cinematographer Alexandre Naufel, Litvak achieves a look that might be best described as a sort of ultra-low-budget "Sucker Punch," with washed-out sepia tones dominating green-screen-type backgrounds for which unerring dramatic realism is not the aim. Were the script tighter, it would be interesting to see Litvak's approach applied in an even much more aggressively minimalist style (think Lars von Trier's "Dogville"), to further spotlight and artistically re-contextualize the stakes of its stark arguments regarding liberty.
Still, almost in spite of itself sometimes, perhaps because just it spans a greater period of time than Spielberg and Day-Lewis' recent big-budget collaboration, "Saving Lincoln" connects as an ancillary curio about the man and his struggles. History buffs will certainly dig it, and arthouse aficionados could certainly do far worse than to spend another 100 minutes getting lost in the struggles of this fascinating, steel-willed man.

Serena Williams repeats as US Open champion

NEW YORK - Serena Williams repeated as US Open women's champion by holding off a battling Victoria Azarenka of Belarus 7-5 6-7(6) 6-1 in a windblown final at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday.
Williams bounded in a series of joyous jumping jack leaps after Azarenka's backhand sailed long on the second match point of a thrilling, two-hour 45-minute final.
In winning the title rematch against second-seeded Azarenka, world number one Williams claimed her fifth US Open crown and 17th career grand slam singles title.
The big-hitting American, who turns 32 later this month, became the oldest US Open women's winner since tennis turned professional 45 years ago, eclipsing Australian Margaret Court, who was 31 years and 55 days when she won the title in 1973.
The triumph moved Williams to within one grand slam singles crown of Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova for a tie for fourth place on the all-time list behind Court (24), Steffi Graf (22) and Helen Wills Moody (19).
It had looked like it was going to be plain sailing for Williams after she won the first set, boosted by a late break in the 11th game for a 6-5 lead and then served out a love game.
Williams, who earlier looked confounded by the gusty wind that affected service tosses and the direction of bounces off groundstrokes and was muttering to herself between points, finally settled into a rhythm in the second set.
She surged to a 4-1 lead after Azarenka double-faulted three times in the fifth and her US Open repeat looked undeniable as she had begun to find the range on her imposing service game that saw her serve broken only twice in six previous matches.

"Wooly Bully" started with a simple outline with thinned Golden Open acrylic.
I then added warm colorful shadows as a base coat.
Next I painted around the nose and eyes.
The liner brush helps add some pretty eyelashes and texture.
Wool on top of the sheep's head was added with white paint- it shows up on the base coat I painted earlier.
Finally, after more research, I grabbed a brush and my paint palette and gave "Wooly Bully" a face lift! Oh if I could paint my OWN face lift!!!
I wanted to show that even though some of you think that I make it look so easy to paint something beautiful, sometimes it just doesn't work out, but I tried to make the best of it.
Hmmm….. Kind of like real life wouldn't you agree?
Love it. Me and my children have a mini zoo.
Love the mini lessons you keep giving out. So going to have to try them soon. Miss sitting and having ya teach me. The one true thing I hated about getting out of high school.

Enterprise Interoperability Framework
Updated on Feb 06, 2018
The Enterprise Interoperability Framework is used as a guideline for collecting and structuring knowledge/solution for enterprise interoperability. The Enterprise Interoperability Framework defines the domain and sub-domains for interoperability research and development in order to identify a set of pieces of knowledge for solving enterprise interoperability problems by removing barriers to interoperability.
Existing Interoperability Frameworks
Enterprise Interoperability Framework Use
Some existing works on interoperability have been carried out to define interoperability framework or reference models, in particular, the LISI reference model, European Interoperability Framework (EIF), IDEAS interoperability framework, ATHENA interoperability framework, and E-Health Interoperability Framework. These existing approaches constitute the basis for the Enterprise Interoperability Framework.
The necessity to elaborate the Enterprise Interoperability Framework has been discussed in. Existing interoperability frameworks do not explicitly address barriers to interoperability, which is a basic assumption of this research; they are not aimed at structuring interoperability knowledge with respect to their ability to remove various barriers.
The Enterprise Interoperability framework has three basic dimensions:
Interoperability concerns defined the content (or aspect) of interoperation that may take place at various levels of the enterprise. In the domain of Enterprise Interoperability, the following four interoperability concerns are identified : Data, Service, Process, and Business.
Interoperability barriers: Interoperability barrier is a fundamental concept in defining the interoperability domain. Many interoperability issues are specific to particular application domains. These can be things like support for particular attributes, or particular access control regimes. Nevertheless, general barriers and problems of interoperability can be identified; and most of them being already addressed, Consequently, the objective is to identify common barriers to interoperability. By the term 'barrier' we mean an 'incompatibility' or 'mismatch' which obstructs the sharing and exchanging of information. Three categories of barriers are identified: conceptual, technological and organisational.
Interoperability approaches represents the different ways in which barriers can be removed (integrated, unified, and federated)
The Enterprise Interoperability Framework with its three basic dimensions is shown.
The Enterprise Interoperability Framework allows to:
Capture and structure interoperability knowledge/solutions in the framework through a barrier-driven approach
Provide support to enterprise interoperability engineers and industry end users to carry out their interoperability projects.
The Enterprise Interoperability Framework not only aims at structuring concepts, defining research domain and capturing knowledge, but also at helping industries to solve their interoperability problems. When carrying out an interoperability project involving two particular enterprises, interoperability concerns and interoperability barriers between the two enterprises will be identified first and mapped to this Enterprise Interoperability Framework. Using the framework, existing interoperability degree can be characterised and targeted interoperability degree can be defined as the objective to meet. Then knowledge/solutions associated to the barriers and concerns can be searched in the framework, and solutions found will be proposed to users for possible adaptation and/or combination with other solutions to remove the identified barriers so that the required interoperability can be established.

WISCONSIN GOVERNOR Scott Walker, attending a meeting of the National Governors Association, was asked by two Washington Post reporters whether President Obama is a Christian. "I don't know," Walker candidly replied.
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker departs after speaking at the American Action Forum in Washington last month.
During the president's reelection campaign in the summer of 2012, the Pew Research Center polled a national sample of registered voters: "Do you happen to know what Barack Obama's religion is?" More than one-third of the respondents — 36 percent — said they didn't know. Only 45 percent identified the president as a Christian; 16 percent said he's a Muslim.
That was the seventh time in a little over four years that Pew had measured public awareness of Obama's religion. The first poll, back in March 2008, had yielded almost identical results — 36 percent couldn't name then-Senator Obama's religion, while 47 percent said he was Christian and 12 percent answered Muslim.
The Post didn't explain why its reporters thought it appropriate to ask Walker, a possible GOP contender for 2016, about Obama's religion. Nor did it give any reason for treating Walker's answer as if it were headline news. When one in three Americans is unsure of Obama's religious affiliation, why should the governor of Wisconsin be expected to weigh in on the matter? Why should any public figure be quizzed about an officeholder's spiritual beliefs?
It is to Walker's credit that he wouldn't venture a judgment on something he doesn't know enough about. "I've actually never talked about it," he responded when the Post pressed him to confirm Obama's Christian identity. "I've never asked him that." Perhaps he should have reminded the reporters that in this country, the theological views of political leaders carry no constitutional weight. "No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office," the Framers specified in Article VI. Candidates for president need not be Christian, and it is not the business of any presidential hopeful to gauge the religious credentials of the current White House incumbent. Nor is it the business of journalists to try to goad them into doing so.
"Some figures on the right have consistently questioned Obama's faith, with some suggesting he is a Muslim," the Post story smarmily notes. Even if true, what does that have to do with Walker? Some figures on the left have insisted that Obama is an atheist — but reporters aren't buttonholing Democratic governors to ask whether the president believes in God.
As it happens, Obama's religious biography is confusing and convoluted, as he himself has (sometimes) readily acknowledged.
As President Obama, shown here at the National Prayer Breakfast in 2009, has sometimes readily acknowledged, his own religious roots are tangled. It isn't hard to understand why many Americans can't identify the president's faith.
"I had a father who was born a Muslim but became an atheist, grandparents who were non-practicing Methodists and Baptists, and a mother who was skeptical of organized religion," Obama told attendees at the National Prayer Breakfast in 2009, two weeks after becoming president. "I didn't become a Christian until ... I moved to the South Side of Chicago after college." In his memoirs, Obama wrote that as a child in Indonesia, he "had spent two years at a Muslim school, two years at a Catholic school," recounting bits of youthful tomfoolery in both.
Over the years, the president has made numerous comments on religious topics, and his messages haven't always been consistent. It isn't hard to understand why a sizeable minority of Americans, to the extent that they think about Obama's religion at all, might be genuinely puzzled to put a label to it. Honest confusion isn't scandalous.
What is scandalous is when the media spring bogus questions on politicians in an attempt to extract an answer that can then be rushed into headlines dripping with insinuation. There are a thousand-and-one issues on which any national political figure can legitimately be expected to have an opinion. The inner spiritual life of the president — any president — isn't one of them. By all accounts, Walker hasn't the slightest interest in exploiting Obama's faith, and has done nothing to suggest the contrary. A shame that the Washington Post holds itself to a lower standard.

Q: Autofac: Get ServiceLifetime by IComponentRegistration What is the right way to get Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.ServiceLifetime by Autofac.Core.IComponentRegistration?
In other words, how to implement this method?
private static Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.ServiceLifetime GetServiceLifetime(
    Autofac.Core.IComponentRegistration registration)
{
    ...
}

Note: I'm using Autofac 4.9.4 version.

A: If the IComponentRegistration.Sharing property is None, then the ServiceLifetime is Transient.
If that same property is Shared, then if the Lifetime property is an instance of RootScopeLifetime (literally Lifetime is RootScopeLifetime), then the ServiceLifetime is Singleton.
The ServiceLifetime.Scoped value is effectively the 'else' case here.
Note that the Microsoft DI library does not have the concept of Instance per Matching Scopes, so there isn't a 100% equivalence, but it's close.

Established in 1999, Fire Check Consultants provide cost effective strategic fire engineering services for investors in the built environment, and other special risk areas, throughout Australia and overseas. We pride ourselves in promoting engineering excellence, via prompt, efficient, and dedicated professional engineering services. Since our inception, we have gained vast experiences in the built environment, which positively assists building designers, under our guidance, to satisfy mandatory legislative building codes and standards. Our professionalism, and wide experience, also assists our clients in meeting their compliance obligations, maximises their capital values, and increases the life expectancy of their property investments.
Fire Check Consultants have been pioneers in undertaking fire safety engineering since the beginning of performance-based design in Australia. Consulting for this amount of time, we are one of the oldest practices in performance-based fire engineering solutions in South Pacific region. We have been extensively involved with numerous prestigious projects and successfully dealt with tall residential towers, shopping centres, healthcare premises, automated large warehouses, industrial complexes, defence projects, mines, airports, and much more.
Fire Check Consultants are comprising of a team of fire safety and fire protection engineers, who deal successfully on a daily basis with fire safety engineering problems, performance-based design, computational modelling, fire protection system design, peer review, fire investigation and many more. To showcase, FCC has been honoured to receive the "Urban Development Institute of Australia" (QLD) award for Consultancy Excellency applied to the newly constructed 'Link Portside' residential building at Brisbane's iconic Hamilton cruise port and shopping precinct.
01 November 2018 – We are looking for exceptionally talented Fire Safety Engineering specialists affiliated with the Board of Professional Engineers (RPEQ, C10 or RBP) to join our team at all levels from Senior Fire Safety Engineer to Associate/Director. Please contact us on our Career page.
March 2018 – The NCC 2016 Volume One Amendment 1 preview and Evidence of Suitability Handbook are now available. In preparation for the adoption of NCC 2016 Volume One Amendment 1 by all States and Territories from 12 March 2018, the ABCB has released a preview of the Amendment which contains changes relating to fire safety in high rise buildings and evidence of suitability. The preview of the Amendment is available for download from the ABCB website.
January 2018 – Over the years Fire Check Consultants have continued to take on University Students in the Engineering field who need to complete work experience for completion of their study. We have received great feedback from past work experience students that say we gave them a proper feel for what it is like to work within an engineering office, with real tasks and challenges, not just having them make coffees and do the jobs we don't want like allot of their University friends experience. In 2017, three students from the University of Queensland have been affiliated with us for basic fire safety engineering program.
Year 2017 was a very busy and productive year for Fire Check Consultants. The major projects such as Brisbane Racing Club, Westfield Shopping Centre (Coomera and Chermside Stage 6), CHH, Norfolk Island International Airport, 2PH Farm, Symes Thorpe Toowoomba, Reading Cinema, Westfield Mount Gravatt Library, Rockhampton Mater School, 106 Pacific Pde Bilinga, 27 John St ST Marys (NSW) and many more were dealt successfully. Also, we have engineered hundreds of Class 1 residential performance solutions. Class 1 buildings have evolved from the single detached house on a block, to now coming in all shapes and sizes, to maximise the use of every square metre of space available. In doing so a number of issues arise and buildings may no longer meet the building code (NCC) in a number of areas. Through additional means of protection, the intent of the NCC provisions can be achieved.
July 2017 – We are looking for a Graduate Fire Safety Engineer to join our Brisbane office as our business continues to grow in the sunshine state. Now that we have fully established our business in QLD with significant market share, we are looking to expand our business throughout other states and territories of Australia in early 2017. With this in mind we are also seeking interest from Senior and Graduate Engineers that may be interested in staffing and helping Fire Check Consultants grow in these states. Please head over to our Careers page and submit your Resume.
The NCC (BCA) is now available FREE online. Click the link to create your account to view the code.
Year 2016 – We have successfully completed prestigious Pacific Fair Shopping Centre at Gold Coast.
Year 2015 – We were honoured to receive the Urban Development Institute of Australia (QLD) award for Consultancy Excellency applied to the newly constructed 'Link Portside' residential building at Brisbane's iconic Hamilton cruise port & shopping precinct. This building is very unique in that it consists of a structural steel frame enveloped by fire rated construction. The need for this unique style of construction was needed to overcome the point load restrictions applied to the existing Portside Wharf structure.

The release, addressed to peace advocacy group Colombians for Peace, called for a "bilateral truce, based on a round table of dialogue and an agenda of political solution to the conflict" that also covered "other substantive issues, both in respect to international humanitarian law and responding to Colombians' struggles." The ELN also called for the international community to contribute, "its wisdom and experience."
The letter was in response to a proposal from the Colombians for Peace, that raised the possibility of a 90-day ceasefire between the government, the ELN, and the FARC, Colombia's largest guerrilla group. The ELN described the proposal as "a valuable contribution to the creation of a climate of humanitarian relief for the population and a contribution to the process of creating a dialogue between the insurgents and the national government."
The ELN also criticized President Santos' promise to reject any move towards peace that isn't agreed upon in entirety and by all parties, calling him a warmonger and saying that his stance "blocks valuable contributions to peace in Colombia."
The Marxist rebel group currently has about 2,500 fighters, while the FARC has more than 8,000. The FARC and ELN have been fighting the Colombian state since 1964. The Colombian conflict, stoked by paramilitary violence since the 1980s, has killed tens of thousands of Colombians and has displaced millions.

Melting Point: New Zealand and the Climate Change Crisis
Eric Dorfman
Penguin Books, $37.00,
There are several worthwhile reasons for a book such as this to exist. Firstly, there is no longer any serious scientific debate about whether climate change is happening. Regardless of the views of some current politicians, most of the recent global warming is the result of human activities. And the simple fact is that if humans carry on emitting greenhouse gases as they now do, the climate will continue to warm up with increasingly dire consequences for people and the planet in the near future.
Secondly, those people aware of the potential implications of climate change have already begun calling for action and change. They point out that change needs to happen at every level, from individual to community to political, and quickly. However, confusion still reigns as to what exactly this "action" means, how we go about significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and what individuals can do to slow down the effects of climate change.
Finally, up until now there has not been an accessible reference work written for the general public that both details the potential consequences of climate change specific to New Zealand and outlines actions that could be taken. This book is intended to fill that gap and, in some respects, it does so admirably.
Dorfman opens with a brief explanation of the science of climate change. In subsequent chapters he discusses the expected effects of climate change on New Zealand landscape, agriculture, population health, ecosystems, and social and economic systems. Each chapter begins with a global perspective, and then narrows in to look at New Zealand-specific change: what animals we could rear instead of sheep and cows, which suburbs may end up under water, and what may happen to some of our prized native species. A lengthy chapter entitled "Choices" details the specific actions that people can take at the personal or community level that will effect positive change. Advice ranges from growing your own vegetables to using more public transport to writing to your local MP.
Despite its laudable goals, this book does not quite manage to fill its intended niche. No one can doubt the feelings of the author. He wrote the book entirely as a personal response to his own concerns as he learned more about the subject. But one gets the feeling that sometimes he was slightly overwhelmed by the sheer enormity and complexity of the topic. There is a good argument for not letting a climate scientist write a popular book on climate change, as the result may be far too detailed or complex to interest the average reader. There are, though, good reasons for any science writer to make the most of available scientific resources and assessments when tackling such a complex subject.
In this case, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC ) 4th Assessment Report on global climate change should be by far and away the main source of information. Though dense (the IPCC synthesis report alone is 52 pages long, not including appendices, a summary for policymakers, and the three reports of about 900 pages each that preceded it), it is the most comprehensive, up-to-date, globally credible and universally recognised authority detailing both the science of and policies affecting climate change. By contrast, in some parts Dorfman seems to rely on the summaries of other people to tell him most of what he needs to know. A summary of some of the relevant parts of the IPCC 4th Assessment is usefully included as an appendix, but within the body of the book Dorfman sometimes seems to rely more on what he learned from An Inconvenient Truth.
The science presented is therefore basically solid and accurate, but there are a few (important) small examples that, while not entirely incorrect, draw the wrong conclusions or present data in a slightly misleading way. In one section, he asserts that, in a computer model predicting future scenarios, the Greenland ice caps melt and "global sea levels rise 12m". However, all the ice in Greenland equals, at most, a seven-metre sea-level rise; the figure of 12 metres would have to include melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet. Perhaps more importantly, the book sheds no light on the time scales over which such large amounts of sea-level rise could occur, which leaves a major gap for those concerned with coastal issues in New Zealand or the global implications of sea-level rise.
In another example, a graph showing the increasing number of insurance claims due to weather and flooding events since 1968 is used to illustrate that weather events are getting more extreme. In reality, governments and scientists have already tried to prove such connections, and found that it is simply not possible at this stage. Too many variables exist around the records of insurance claims through time, including increasing numbers of people with insurance, the value of claims versus number of claims, and the various definitions of "weather-related" claims.
Individual chapters continue this theme – mainly making solid, strong arguments, but of occasionally variable quality. One of the strongest chapters looks at possible future effects of climate change on natural ecosystems. This reflects the area of the author's expertise, and is a comprehensively referenced and researched chapter. Chapters outside of his area of expertise are slightly weaker. The chapter detailing, for example, the effects of climate change on population health gives very little useful New Zealand-specific information, and limits itself to extensive referencing of World Health Organisation data (normally quite limited with respect to New Zealand). It mentions, briefly, the effects climate change may have on mental health, an area that may become of great concern if entire Pacific island nation populations are displaced due to rising sea levels.
The book, although just published in 2008, appeared before the change to a National government. Dorfman spends a long time talking about the strengths of the Emissions Trading Scheme and New Zealand's global leadership, stating the former Labour government's aims to become a carbon neutral nation. This reviewer was surprised that there was no "future-proofing", or discussion about consequences to New Zealand on a local or international stage if subsequent governments reverse or abandon current climate change legislation. Given Dorfman's obvious advocacy for the previous government's initiatives, this omission might be a purposeful tactic. He may simply feel that the previous government had it right, and their way was the best way. One wonders, though, if this book may have been helped by a thorough discussion of other policies as well, including the winners, losers and motivations behind alternative approaches.
Overall, then, one gets the feeling that Dorfman is sometimes slightly confused as to who his readership is, or whom he is trying to convince. In some sections, he lectures at us (the ignorant petrol-guzzling, tree-felling, red-meat eating us), sometimes in almost condescending fashion, and comes across as a self-appointed apostle of the sustainability movement sent to educate and enlighten us. Pages later, however, he points out that we are all "hungry for information, believing that as a nation we aren't doing enough" or that "we New Zealanders are thinking about climate change not only from a global perspective but from a personal one." While heartening statements, if they were entirely true we wouldn't need this book in the first place.
And that is the problem with the book: it is needed, there is no doubt about that, and some of it hits the mark. However, in the end one finishes Melting Point wondering if it was entirely the right book, approach or author for this important task.

Q: Indefinite integral involving the Lambert W or product log function. How to calculate the integral
$\displaystyle \int \frac{1-x}{x W\left(\frac{1-x}{x}\right)} \, dx$ ?
I tried making a substitution but it doesn't seem to work.
Does this integral have a symbolic solution or a series expansion?

A: If you change variable $$\frac{1-x}x=t\implies x=\frac{1}{t+1}\implies dx=-\frac{dt}{(t+1)^2}$$ you end with
$$I=\int \frac{1-x}{x W\left(\frac{1-x}{x}\right)} \, dx=-\int \frac {t}{(1+t^2) \, W(t)} \,dt$$ You can expand the integrand around $t=0$ using composition of Taylor series. This would give
$$ \frac {t}{(1+t^2) \, W(t)}=1-t+\frac{1}{2}t^2+\frac{2 }{3}t^3-\frac{71 }{24}t^4+\frac{443 }{60}t^5-\frac{11627
   }{720}t^6+\frac{86111 }{2520}t^7+O\left(t^8\right)$$
Edit
Thinking more about it, using Taylor around $x=1$, you have
$$\frac{1-x}{x W\left(\frac{1-x}{x}\right)} =1-(x-1)+\frac{1}{2} (x-1)^2-\frac{2}{3} (x-1)^3+\frac{3}{8} (x-1)^4-\frac{19}{30}
   (x-1)^5+\frac{35}{144} (x-1)^6-\frac{601}{840} (x-1)^7+O\left((x-1)^8\right)$$
Integrating between $\frac 12$ and $\frac 32$,the above series would lead to $\frac{48241}{46080}\approx 1.0468967$ while the numerical integration would give $1.0467994$.

A: Hint:
Let $u=\dfrac{1-x}{x}$ ,
Then $x=\dfrac{1}{u+1}$
$dx=-\dfrac{du}{(u+1)^2}$
$\therefore\int\dfrac{1-x}{xW\left(\frac{1-x}{x}\right)}~dx=-\int\dfrac{u}{(u+1)^2W(u)}~du$
Let $v=W(u)$ ,
Then $u=ve^v$
$du=(v+1)e^v~dv$
$\therefore-\int\dfrac{u}{(u+1)^2W(u)}~du=-\int\dfrac{(v+1)e^{2v}}{(ve^v+1)^2}~dv$


*Just remember that not all symptoms and benefits of eliminating Demodex mites can be seen.
I suffered with bad problems of flaky scalp, dandruff and rashes on my head for years. Doctors couldn't help and after doing my own research I heard of Demodex.
I've been using PDT on my daily use and i would like to have it a bit more. Its a life saver!
Friendly staff and great professional service overall the price seems a bit high at first, but once you get the products you understand the true value of what you receive and if you're looking for guaranteed results under secure provision and less future fuss, the treatments will be perfect for you.
I have to begin saying that i found you on one of the scariest and darkness night of my life. I prayed for God to direct me to a miracle, to someone who would hear my fear, frustration, & isolation i had come to know all to well. In my heart i was brought in the path of a true, beautiful and compassionate angel that night. Her words came to me just in time…i know i might sound a little too extreme and i guess i am.
No one would listen to me…not in a empathetic manner or even exercise their code of medical ethics toward me as a victim of some type of invasion that had left me clueless, scared and frustrated at the medical world for not knowing…. thank god I found Ungex!
I am so grateful, You have been a beacon, I have seen so much improvement this past week.
….without your support I doubt I would have had the patience to stick with this, because it really has taken months and months, and have never experienced anything like this before, I just didn't grasp the severity of this problem…finally after all these months reflecting back, it was your encouraging advise when I was so discouraged that kept me going…and I am so glad that I did, looking back to when I first started the protocol I can see it was slow but steady progress, sometimes getting worse before it starts getting less…..
I so can never thank you enough Alex, for getting me through the worst of this….your soothing comfort and encouragement has made a world of difference in sticking with it.
Not only do we love hearing your success stories, but also your testimonial will also help show others what a difference treating Demodex mites with Ungex can make.
Please submit your stories, photos or even videos and as thanks, we will treat you with extra goodies in your next order. An email confirmation will be sent after submission with an exclusive discount code for you to enjoy with your next order.

VIDEO: Chicago Cop Fatally Shoots Armed Suspect In Foot Pursuit, Family Demands 'Justice'
Holly MatkinMay 2, 2021
Chicago, IL – The Chicago Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) has released bodycam footage that captured the moment when a fleeing suspect armed with a gun was fatally shot by an officer (video below).
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the shooting occurred after "a minor traffic offense," the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
"We can't live in a world where a minor traffic offense results in someone being shot and killed," Lightfoot told reporters on Wednesday. "That's not acceptable to me and shouldn't be acceptable to anyone."
Despite the mayor's statement, the video shows that the suspect was not shot for committing a traffic offense.
The incident occurred in the early morning hours of March 31, after Chicago police spotted 22-year-old Anthony Alvarez in the parking lot of a gas station in the Portage Park neighborhood, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
Security footage showed Alvarez running across the parking lot, dropping items along the way, as police pulled in and began chasing him.
Bodycam footage showed the suspect running down a sidewalk as officers chased after him on foot.
As they closed in on him in the 5200-block of West Eddy Street, Alvarez ran through a residential yard.
"Hey! Drop the gun! Drop the gun!" an officer yelled, just before multiple gunshots rang out.
The suspect, who appeared to be carrying a cell phone in one hand and a firearm in the other, fell to the sidewalk outside the house, the video showed.
Bodycam footage captured Alvarez tossing he weapon to the ground behind him as he fell.
"Why'd you shooting me?" Alvarez asked them.
"You had a gun!" an officer yelled.
An officer immediately rushed to his aid as the suspect repeatedly looked at his cell phone, the video showed.
When a second officer arrived to begin handcuffing Alvarez, the first officer sharply told him not to do so because he was going to "render aid."
"Stop moving! I'm trying to help you!" the officer told the suspect, who appeared to be bleeding heavily onto the sidewalk.
Police applied a tourniquet to the suspect's leg and began chest compressions while they waited for emergency medical personnel to arrive, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Alvarez was rushed to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he succumbed to his wounds, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
He had been shot twice – once in his right thigh, and once in the right side of his back with an exit wound to the right side of his upper chest.
COPA said in a press release on Wednesday that it has recommended the officer who shot Alvarez "be relieved of police powers during the pendency of this investigation."
Stripping an officer of their police powers pending an investigation is very abnormal.
The 29-year-old officer has been with the department since 2015, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The oversight committee said the investigation into the officer's use of force remains ongoing and they encouraged anyone who witnessed the incident or has additional information to contact the COPA.
Alvarez's family was shown the bodycam footage on Tuesday ahead of the public release, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
"I want more answers," Alvarez's mother, Veronica, told KTTV using a translator. "The videos I saw do not explain what I saw in the morgue. I want justice for Anthony. I want to know why they were running after him."
Lightfoot released a joint statement with attorneys representing the Alvarez family on Wednesday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
"Both parties are acutely aware of the range of emotions that will accompany the release of these materials, and we collectively issue this statement and ask that those who wish to express themselves do so peacefully and with respect for our communities and the residents of Chicago," the statement read.
"COPA's investigation is ongoing, and both parties expect and have the utmost confidence that officials will determine the complete and unbiased set of facts in this case," they said. "We ask that all continue to respect the Alvarez family's right to privacy as they grieve during this incredibly painful time."
Lightfoot ordered the CPD to come up with a new foot pursuit policy in the wake of the incident, which occurred just two days after another CPD officer fatally shot 13-year-old Adam Toledo, who was running from officers while carrying a gun, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Illinois Executive Director Colleen Connell released a statement demanding the city of Chicago pick up the pace with regards to police reform.
"For the second time in weeks, the people of Chicago are presented with video footage of a young Latino man being shot and killed by police during a foot pursuit," Connell said. "Again, a family suffers as the Alvarez family experiences the grief and pain of witnessing the last moments of a loved one."
"The lack of meaningful police reform in Chicago is not only costing the city lives, but also taking a psychological toll on communities of color," Connell continued. "The city must abandon the current snail's pace of police reform and become serious about making real changes that serve all neighborhoods."

Sustainable tourism is on the rise: Consumer demand is growing, travel industry suppliers are developing new green programs, and governments and international agencies are creating new policies to encourage sustainable practices in tourism. But what does "sustainable tourism" really mean? How can it be measured and credibly demonstrated to build consumer confidence, promote business prosperity, foster community benefits, and fight false claims?
The unique needs of a group travel supplier often get left with minimal attention. Group sales professionals are left alone to navigate the many questions of this complex market. Not any more. If you've wondered how to inspire your team to treat groups as VIPs, what new markets should you be considering, how do you get repeat business, and how to maximize my operator relationship, the wait is over. The 2011 Group Travel Supplier Summit is about real questions from real suppliers. Suppliers just like you told us the issues they face and the Summit answers those questions.

Tone-Deaf (2019)
October 2, 2019 October 4, 2019 by Daniel Prinn
Directed by: Richard Bates Jr. Starring: Amanda Crew, Robert Patrick, Kim Delaney. Runtime: 1h 27 min. Released: August 23, 2019.
It feels like in every neighborhood there's a curmudgeonly old fart sitting in a rocking chair on his porch ranting about something. "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" had the Grinch up on Mount Crumpit, shouting down at the Who's. "Gran Torino" had Clint Eastwood, telling everyone to get off his lawn. "Tone-Deaf" has Harvey (Robert Patrick) who constantly breaks the fourth wall to monologue about how terrible millennials are. Sorry, Mr. T-1000, we don't mean to be terrible.
Olive (Amanda Crew), a millennial has just broken up with her boyfriend and has just lost her job – she just got fired on a Thursday, before free lunch Friday (!) – so rents a house for a weekend getaway away from the city. The renter is crazy baby-boomer widow Harvey. It sets up an intergenerational clash because Harvey may be a curmudgeonly old asshole and widow, but he's also a long john wearin', millennial swearin' psychopath. He seems like he's been nutty for awhile but his reason for now wanting to be a psychopath, you ask?
He looks at the screen and says that he's done everything "but I haven't killed a person. That's one itch I haven't got around to scratching." I've never been on a roller coaster but you don't see me lining up to go on one. But I also don't want to, so to each their own, I guess. His motives to kill aren't strong. The only reasons given are his hate for millennials and the fact that dementia is settling in, but the dementia part is dangerous to use as a motive.
The only thing "Tone-Deaf" has to offer is its generational commentary, as it elevates it above a plain horror film. Even that isn't very good, though. It's mostly just hateful monologues from Robert Patrick. He's introduced poorly to us by asking the screen, "Want to be a conduit of change? Go drink a gallon of bleach… As long as you millennials leave the hard work to my generation, the least you can do is sacrifice yourselves." His rants and a brief political observation service as the commentary but it's mean-spirited and not clever. But am I, as a millennial, proving the film's point for thinking it's mean-spirited when it's just tongue-in-cheek commentary?
Robert Patrick in "Tone-Deaf." (IMDb)
I'm not sure, I just know I didn't like this. His rants just feel try-hardy and like he's listing pet peeves of the writer/director Richard Bates Jr., though "sunglasses are for the outside" is an amusing observation. At one point, Olive the millennial gives us a fourth-wall breaking rant about baby boomers. The film doesn't work when it's just shoving its ideas down our throats.
It doesn't work when it's being subtle, either, but it feels smarter. The best aspect is a major quirk of Olive's character and the reasoning for the title. She loves playing the piano but the catch is, she's terrible. Just tone-deaf (like most of the film). However, she's a millennial so no one's ever told her that she's bad because they don't want to ruin any of her dreams.
It's the only interesting thing about her character, or any character, as she's just a basic, bratty millennial who wants to get away for a weekend. Crew plays it fine, and I've liked her since "Sex Drive" but she can't do much with the dialogue, that's either just bad or awkward.
They try to add depth to her – but her dad (Ray Wise) killing himself isn't interesting, nor is Olive's acid trip talking to him. Sub-plot scenes featuring her mother, Crystal (Kim Delaney), living at a commune and hanging out with a fling (Johnny Pemberton) is more useless than anything.
This doesn't work as a horror comedy, either. Some of the horror's more visual and surreal than I'd expect for the simple horror premise and there are some seriously strange scenes, mostly in Harvey's imagination. The kills aren't memorable for a slasher film, and a lot of the scares are lazy. There is one scene that builds decent tension, though. There are more laughs than scares, but they're merely chuckles and the film usually tries way too hard to be funny or the setups are bad. The finale setup is fine and feels like it could be good but then Harvey just goes back to millennial shaming.
Patrick's performance doesn't work because the character's so bad, but he embodies manic and hateful here. But there's a reason why no one likes that curmudgeonly old guy in the neighborhood. He's just an asshole and so is Harvey. But unlike the Grinch or Clint Eastwood in "Gran Torino," there's no redemption story here.

Psychological Preparation of Goalkeepers for the 11-m Penalty Kick in Soccer—A Review
in The Sport Psychologist
Ronnie Lidor, Gal Ziv and Tamar Gershon
https://doi.org/10.1123/tsp.26.3.375
Volume 26: Issue 3
In this article we reviewed a series of studies (n = 18) on psychological preparation of the goalkeeper (GK) for the 11-m penalty kick in soccer. The main findings of this review were that deception strategies (e.g., standing slightly off-center) can increase the chances of the kick being directed to a desired direction, and that individual differences among GKs should be considered when planning sport psychology programs for GKs. A number of research limitations and methodological concerns, such as the lack of ecological validity of the tasks performed in the studies and the lack of studies on psychological interventions, were discussed. In addition, a number of practical implications for sport psychology consultants who work with GKs in soccer were suggested.

Superb idea! I use this app to take notes in chem class my other courses... it would make reading and organization a God send... Cause you know there is no time for neat writing in class.
Even a modified Cornell style Note page would be good with lines on the right side and blank space on the left since i know you have to make continuous templates.

Qualifier 4 of the Qualifying Round of the 2017 World Baseball Classic was held at MCU Park, Brooklyn, New York, United States from September 22 to 25, 2016. It was won by Team Israel, which went on to play in the World Baseball Classic in March 2017.

Qualifier 4 was a modified double-elimination tournament. The winners of the first games, Israel and Brazil, matched up in the second game, which Israel won.  Meanwhile, the losers, Great Britain and Pakistan, faced each other in an elimination game, which Great Britain won.

The winners of the elimination game, Great Britain, then played and defeated the losers of the non-elimination game, Brazil, in another elimination game.

Israel then defeated Great Britain 9–1 in the final on September 25, 2016, to determine the winners of the Qualifier 4. Team Israel next played in South Korea in March 2017, as the 16th and final team in the WBC. They swept Pool B, beating South Korea, Taiwan, and the Netherlands, to qualify for the second round.
