O kraljevstvu Dalmacije i Hrvatske u šest knjiga (lat. De regno Dalmatiae et Croatiae libri sex), povijesno djelo trogirskog povjesničara i oca hrvatske historiografije Ivana Lučića (1604. – 1679.), koje se smatra prvim znanstveno-kritičkim djelom hrvatske historiografije. Lučić se, pri pisanju tog obimnog djela, služio brojnom arhivskom građom, od koje su neki dokumenti prvi put objavljeni upravo u njegovoj knjizi, čime je ukazao na njihovo postojanje.

Djelo je dovršeno 1662. godine, ali je prvi put objavljeno u Amsterdamu, 1666. godine. Knjiga je ponovno objavljena 1667. i 1668. godine i to zadnje izdanje je ujedno i najpotpunije, jer jer donosi kazalo, ispravljene greške, popravljenu naslovnicu rodoslovlje hrvatskih knezova i kraljeva te šest povijesnih karata Ilirika, koje čine prvi hrvatski atlas, od kojih je najpoznatija ona koju je Lučić posvetio hrvatskome banu Petru IV. Zrinskomu (1621. – 1671.).

Q: How to recognize and match patterns in audio segments of 2 or more short audio files using Python? I'm working on a prototype, where I'm trying to find and match patterns between 2 audio files. As a naive example, let's assume we have two 5secs audio files which has my recordings as follows:
1. "I love dogs."
2. "Dogs are amazing!"
Here, I want to analyze and recognize certain features so that I can conclude that the common words between the 2 audio files is the word 'Dog'. Please note that the content is NOT important. Else I could've converted it to text and matched it. I want to analyse the common feature patterns. I've basic understanding of audio features such as mfcc, chromagrams, etc. but what and how to use in this context?

2019 Funders Forum with Edgar Villanueva
Thursday, September 26, 2019 -
10:00am to 3:00pm EDT
Congregation Bet Ha'am
81 Westbrook Street, South Portland
Non-members: $155.00
In Decolonizing Wealth: Indigenous Wisdom to Heal Divides and Restore Balance, Edgar Villanueva explores how money and various forms of privilege - together with colonial mindsets, processes, and structures - have divided and wounded people, communities, and organizations throughout the history of the United States. An enrolled member of the Lumbee Tribe, Edgar also suggests that Indigenous wisdom might help us decolonize wealth, so that it can be used to heal, restore, and connect.
About the Day
On September 26, the Maine Philanthropy Center will partner with Maine Initiatives to bring Edgar Villanueva to Maine. Guided by a mutual desire to promote equity in our state's philanthropic and nonprofit sectors, Maine Initiatives and the Maine Philanthropy Center look forward to hosting nonprofit leaders, funders, and community members for a morning of thought-provoking conversation. The day's schedule is as follows:
10am - 12:30pm: A Conversation with Edgar Villanueva and Maine Leaders. The day will start off with remarks by Edgar Villanueva, followed by a conversation in which he and Jeannette Andre (the Maine Philanthropy Center's new president and CEO) discuss how equity and justice relate to philanthropy, nonprofit work, and funder-nonprofit relationships. Afterward, Maine-based nonprofit leaders and funders will share how they and their organizations are working to decolonize their professional endeavors, relationships, and institutions. Panelists include:
Maria Girouard, Executive Director of Maine-Wabanaki REACH
Marcia Minter, Co-Founder of Indigo Arts Alliance
Gabriela Alcalde, Executive Director of the Elmina B. Sewall Foundation
Lelia DeAndrade, Vice President of Community Impact at the Maine Community Foundation
There will be opportunities for audience participation and questions.
12:30 - 1:15pm: Lunch. All are invited to an unprogrammed lunch. At meal's end, our nonprofit and consultant colleagues will be able to casually linger for additional networking time. Funders who are participating in the 2019 Funder Forum will transition to an afternoon content session.
1:15 - 3:00pm: Funders Forum. After lunch, funders will gather to think together about how to respond to questions of equity in tactical, strategic ways. This year's Funders Forum will focus on Census 2020 and how the philanthropic sector can help support a complete count. The afternoon's special guests will be Becky Hayes Boober, partnership specialist for the U.S. Census Bureau, and David Moy, interim executive director of the Hyams Foundation. Participants will hear about the implications of Census 2020, learn how funders are working to help ensure that under-counted communities are represented, and explore options for taking action toward equity and justice right here in Maine.
3:30pm - 4:30pm: Optional Reception with Jeannette Andre. The Funders Forum will be followed by a reception with Jeannette Andre, the MPC's new president and CEO. All are welcome - funders and nonprofit leaders alike. For planning purposes, please let us know whether you will attend by RSVPing at the "Reception with Jeannette Andre" event page.
We hope that you will join us in order to spend some time with Edgar, Jeannette, and your colleagues.

These eight myths about serious mental illness cause Congress to waste money and fail to implement policies that can improve care and keep patients public and police safer.
100% of adults can have their mental health improved. Twenty percent of adults over 18 have a diagnosable mental illness. But serious mental illnesses are rare. Only 4.1% have a serious mental illness including the 1.1% of adults with schizophrenia and the 2.2% with severe bipolar disorder. Until the early 1960s virtually all mental health expenditures were spent on seriously ill people in state psychiatric hospitals, but at the behest of the mental health industry, federal and state dollars are now spent improving the mental health of all citizens including people without mental illness. This policy diverts funds from care of the seriously mentally ill.
Studies that show no association between mental illness and violence are flawed. These studies are almost always of the treated mentally ill. They show that medications work, not that mental illness and violence aren't connected. Studies also dilute their results by studying the 20% with any mental illness instead of the 4.1% with serious mental illness. Because the studies are typically done in the uninstitutionalized community, they exclude the violent who are involuntarily committed, incarcerated, hospitalized, or who have killed themselves.
Numerous studies show that people with untreated serious mental illness are as a group more prone to violence than others.. A meta-analysis of 204 studies of psychosis found it "was significantly associated with a 49%–68% increase in the odds of violence." A review of 22 studies published between 1990 and 2004 concluded that "major mental disorders, per se, especially schizophrenia, even without alcohol or drug abuse, are indeed associated with higher risks for interpersonal violence." Researcher John Monahan found, "The data that have recently become available, fairly read, suggest the one conclusion I did not want to reach…no matter how many social or demographic factors are statistically taken into account, there appears to be a relationship between mental disorder and violent behavior."
Psychiatric hospitals and community services serve two mutually exclusive populations. Hospitals serve those who need hospitalization, while community services serve those who don't. Even with perfect community services in place, some people will need to be hospitalized. The minimum number of beds needed to serve the most seriously mentally ill is 147,000, roughly 50 beds per 100,000 citizens. We are therefore short 95,000 psychiatric beds. Because of this shortage, 360,000 individuals with mental illness are behind bars and 200,000 are homeless. Until there are better treatments, we need hospitals.
Today, community services are not a substitute for hospitals, mainly because they only accept those well enough to recognize their need for treatment. People who are not well-enough to self-direct their own care, or are highly symptomatic, or have a criminal history, generally will not be welcomed by community-based programs. And even if they gain access, community services do not offer the evidence-based treatment that's needed to improve meaningful outcomes for the most seriously ill. Peer-support--whereby someone with mental illness is placed under the guidance of someone else who's only qualification they too have a mental illness—is currently a popular community based service. But peer support has not been proven to reduce homelessness, suicide, arrest or incarceration of the seriously ill. Likewise, 90% of the most seriously ill, will not recover enough to become competitively employed so job training and back-to-school programs are of little utility.
We have two mental health systems today, serving two mutually exclusive populations: Community programs serve those who seek and accept treatment. Those who refuse, or are too sick to seek treatment voluntarily, become a law enforcement responsibility. …(M)ental health officials seem unwilling to recognize or take responsibility for this second more symptomatic group.
Not everyone can accept voluntary treatment. Some people will always have hallucinations, delusions and/or anosognosia. For them, lack of voluntary treatment means no treatment. John Hinckley 'knew' the best way to get a date with Jodi Foster was to shoot Ronald Reagan. Some seriously ill people need involuntary interventions to prevent the worst from happening.
Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) is an involuntary intervention that is very humane and less restrictive than anything else now being offered. AOT is limited to the small group of those with serious mental illness who have already accumulated multiple prior arrests, incarcerations or hospitalizations caused by going off treatment. In those limited cases-after full due process- a judge can order the ill individual to stay in mandated and monitored treatment as a condition for living in the community and order he mental health system to provide the necessary treatment.
Perpetration studies usually exclude persons with mental illness who abuse substances and therefore artificially lower rates of perpetration. Conversely, the victimization studies used for comparison include people with who abuse substances which raises victimization rates. The first study of equivalent populations found people with bipolar disorder and major depression are more likely to cause injury than receive it.[i] However, the ratio of perpetration to victimization is largely irrelevant. Treatment can reduce both.
The causes serious mental illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and severe major depression remain unknown and therefore we can't prevent them. No one can predict who will develop mental illness until the symptoms become manifest. Poverty, lower education and broken families may be associated with serious mental illness but are not known to be causal. Genetics play a role, but it is not well understood. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and California's Mental Health Services Act Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) allocate millions to mental health programs that claim they can predict or prevent serious mental illness.
To improve care for the most seriously mentally ill, we have to fund science, not mythology. The "Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act" (HR3717) introduced by Rep. Tim Murphy along with 73 co-sponsors in both parties does that.
[i] Sarah L. Desmarais, Richard A. Van Dorn, Kiersten L. Johnson, Kevin J. Grimm, Kevin S. Douglas, and Marvin S. Swartz. (2014). Community Violence Perpetration and Victimization Among Adults With Mental Illnesses. American Journal of Public Health. Like many studies of violence among persons with mental illness, this one excluded persons with mental illness in jails, prisons and those who were involuntarily committed. This artificially lowered violence rates by excluding those most likely to be violent. The significant finding that people with mental illness were more likely to perpetrate violence than be victimized by it was in the report, but not the abstract. The authors created two definitions of "violence". One definition ("community violence") did not require having received or given an injury. The other definition ("violence") did. The abstract focused on community violence--violence without injury--and reported that people with mental illness are more likely to be victims than perpetrators. But when injury occurred more persons with mental illness were perpetrators of injury-causing violence (8.7%) than victims of injury causing violence (7.5%). Results like that should be highlighted, not buried.

The thing that unfair when your going though a crisis and call ask ambulance service dispatch ems there on the way but never come. Two officer say it takes two hours for ambulance. I was out side .my son tried to say up stairs for over 40min .and came down stairs on elevator I said to the two officers this is my son in hallway as he got off elevator in building .I said to the two officer this is my son . NYPD said not a thing .Son was going the a crisis and needed treatment .the two officer start following and bumping my son cape saying stop touching me. no ambulance I go on my own.my son was feeling afraid and black out. This unfair when happened. I no this is wrong I told the two officer my son always got the team that why I come out to see that he gets help. the officer also there just doing there job .there going up stair I if your going up will take to him to the hospital no were not taking him to a hospital .I said to the two officer before my came please do this please I start crying. and knew that there were bulling him and do the wrong thing to mentally people my son black out .I blame the system .a disaster that could of been avoid .This is unfair what happened to my son. I feel so bad about this .It not like these two officer were not were of what was going on I talk to them over 37min unfair justice. This wrong when an officer get award for wrong doing .don't under stand these. why follow a mentally ill person down a street bumping and cause a disaster. They had a chance to help when my son got of elevator. This is not right. the jail has beat on my son broke his noise and macs .
places in box 500 days plus600 day booth visit .bad meds..to up sit with the system. this should never happen to anyone.it hurts so bad. I say why my son .you ask and the system plays a dirty game and gets away with it .My son is under the Kendra law .officers need better training in dealing with this group of people. when people want help there think twice .
I understand and have repeatedly posted comments about the problem with assertations that the SMI are no more violent than the general public. It is a simple process to see their OVER-REPRESENTATION among those capturing headlines for "shooting sprees." I'm reminded this is stigmatizing. I'm reminded that more violence is done TO than BY the SMI. It is like violence ON them is a reason to be concerned and to push for treatment, or to spend the money on telling others what they should not pick on the SMI...but talking of how their crimes get them in serious legal problems? too stigmatizing to mention!!! i must be a hater, etc..
So putting aside the looking from the correct end of the tele/microscope...it's mind boggling to see that the states are so cooked in these other comparisons,. Our friend James Coyne must read them and mutter about crimes against science, about high treason against staticstics. I now know what I read was not an anomaly. It was a "research" on this topic in which the criterion was tghat the crimes had to be due to the illness. all crimes/violence that was not directly resultant of the symptoms were not counted. I will have to go back and spend the time over what was a very bothersome idea. But I thought it a mere single "study" and not worth the time. Can you tell me a crime that is related to SMI? and not to "other" people? perhaps ah...assaults on mental health staffs? that's one....is it a crime to go off meds? we know it "leads to " crimes...but our researchers were not looking at thqat!
Oilier and oilier, these snake oil folks. and all this gets into minds as accepted truth (along with the rest of these myths) and gets written to representatives as part of why to not support HR3717. Meanwhile SMI are supported to refuse meds, institutional treatment and such "coersions", even as they are supported to choose incarceration instead. of course its not put that way. Its presented as being a self determining fully rational choice by a consumer of goods, of a (non-hierarchal) peer supported "bill of goods", and thee bads,...things like dying in a mugging (which was so usefull in refuting the SMI as criminal) are not brought up as a possible consequence, incarceration is not mentioned , not in a jail at least...I better quit, I'm getting "started" on the whole ball of wax resistance...snake oil!
Get another expert's opinion, please!
This article is such a problem that I will simply state (so I can calm down and sleep tonight!) that this journal will do an injustice to its readers if it does not invite another writer to respond to Mr. Jaffe's allegations. There are studies that have differing results than these Jaffe describes. We all have our experts.
WE need a law that will respect the full humanity of people with mental health challenges and respond to circumstances such as were described by Vearry Hale, above. THIS is a reality far too many American citizens and their families experience! Until our government funds services that are engaging, respectful, and safe, why would we even think of developing our capacity to force people? This world is fallen enough. This law would sink it deeper.

There are many reasons why today should be declared CORB LUND DAY.
Extreme weather forced Interstellar Rodeo to cancel the opening night of this year's festival, and it was Corb Lund and his band's willingness to play a Monday night make-up show which set in motion a flurry of phone calls and planning, and a full lineup came together in a matter of hours.
Corb Lund's career and success has spanned genres and borders, and he is a tremendously deserving and accomplished artist and ambassador of the city, province, and national music scene.
At 5:30pm, deputy mayor Mike Nickel will be on the Interstellar Rodeo stage to proclaim Monday, July 28, 2014 as Corb Lund Day and kick off the Interstellar Rodeo extension in true Insterstellar style.
This latest honour doesn't sit on a shelf – it's an accolade that can be shared with an entire city. With great pride and excitement, Interstellar Rodeo will celebrate Corb Lund Day in fine style, with a headline performance from Corb Lund and The Hurtin' Albertans.
Corb's attitude and participation set the tone for a long list of Interstellar Rodeo players also pulling together and making it happen – from food trucks and beverage vendors to lighting and sound teams, the City of Edmonton and permit agencies.
Join us at Hawrelak Park tonight to raise a glass to Edmonton's favourite cowboy!
MONDAY NIGHT LINEUP:
6:00 Great Lake Swimmers
7:10 Hey Rosetta!
8:05 Tom Wilson
8:45 Corb Lund & the Hurtin' Albertans
Festival shuttle begins at 2pm on Monday, July 28.
Friday night tickets will be honoured.
Tickets will also be available at our box office in Hawrelak Park ($75 adults, $55 youth/senior) and from

Tripti is one of our active sellers and quite known to have a pretty closet on the app! We got in touch with her and she shared her experience of selling on Elanic. Here's her story.
A. I'm currently preparing for Govt entrance exams.
A.I like keeping a track of my looks. Right now I'm working on all the looks so that I can start my own blog.
A.I bought a new phone for myself and spent a lot on shopping! Q. How would you describe your style?
A.I would say simple and comfortable. It doesn't have to be on point trendy. I wear what suits my body type and according to the occasion.
A. My personal favourite feature is ease of putting the closet on sale. Just one swipe reduces the price of each product and it increases the chances of a sale.
A. Zara Heels Q. Favourite purchase?
A. Aldo watch I bought for my mom.
A.Denim, Crop top, stole. I'm obsessed with stoles!
Q. Your most memorable experience/encounter with the app?
A. One of the customers wanted to return a product cuz she thought the product was not nice but later apologised and told me that she loves it once she wore it. It's nice to see buyers appreciating your products.
A. Keep genuine pricing of the products and always mention full details of the products.
Q. How's your selling experience on Elanic?
A. I'm really happy. The new feature i.e. the direct shipment is really convenient. It's helped me make more sales for the past one month.


As befits its acronym, LEED has helped lead the way toward a higher level of sustainability in architecture by becoming both a codification of smart, sensitive design and a marketable commodity. LEED isn't always easy to justify to clients — the costs associated with it are not insignificant — but it has been embraced as the de facto standard in large part because its precepts and its four levels of attainment (Certified, Silver, Gold, Platinum) are easy to understand.
But a funny thing is happening — architects, contractors and manufacturers have adapted so quickly to sustainable practices that many of the actions for which projects can accrue LEED points, such as the specification of recycled products and construction waste management, are nearly universally applied, making LEED Certified and Silver well within reach of anyone who wants to spend the money to get a LEED plaque. This has lowered the cachet (thus, the marketability) of these LEED levels, and recently led to one high-profile adjustment — the U.S. General Services Administration last year increased its minimum requirement for new construction and substantial renovation of federally owned facilities from LEED Silver to LEED Gold.
While the past two years have seen the rise of two competing standards — the International Green Construction Code, published in March 2012, and the Green Building Institute's Green Globes, which were first made available in the U.S. in 2005 but received a boost when the GSA announced in 2013 that federal agencies could now use either LEED or Green Globes as their certification system — LEED remains on top.
Same But Different? Moser Pilon Nelson's 2011-12 renovation of and addition to Highland Park Elementary School in Manchester, Conn., was one of the first building projects to meet the state's high-performance standards, which have many of the same elements as LEED. Connecticut's requirements are much more tied to the design of the building and its building envelope and mechanical systems, as well as a higher level of verification through commissioning.
Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island and Washington have in one way or another adopted LEED criteria, and most have set Silver (as well as, more recently, "a comparable rating of another nationally recognized standard approved by the state") as the minimum standard.
In a typical early example, the Kentucky Cabinet put forth regulations "establishing LEED as the standard," according to the Environmental Law Institute, "requiring projects that cost $25 million or more to achieve LEED Silver certification, projects between $5 million and $25 million to achieve LEED Certified certification, and projects under $5 million to use LEED criteria as a guide." Ohio, which may have been more prescient, established (through a resolution of the Ohio School Facilities Commission) the LEED Silver criteria as the standard and Gold as the goal "for projects participating in the OSFC's programs." Similar to this, Washington, D.C., recently amended its original statute (which specified Silver) to direct schools to "aspire" to meet LEED Gold and to require schools to attain Gold or Platinum if sufficient funding is provided to do so. These latter two jurisdictions' reliance on hopeful language (rather than on mandates) shows that the high-performance schools movement hasn't yet caught up with the design, construction and manufacturing communities.
Legislation passed by Connecticut in 2007 at first glance doesn't stand out from the pack. The law, which became effective in January 2008, directed the state to develop standards consistent with LEED Silver (or a comparable standard). From there, however, the eventual high performance school building standards went beyond LEED in several critical respects. Tobie Bernstein, senior attorney at the Environmental Law Institute, singles Connecticut out as being "ahead of the curve" in both its writing of more stringent standards and in its administration of construction and renovation projects.
But the standards are called "high performance" for a reason — there is much more of a focus on increasing the energy performance of the building in question than on putting in bamboo floors and placing signs reserving preferred parking spaces for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles, which both standards accommodate. A new or renovated building compliant with Connecticut's high-performance standards has to be shown through energy modeling (similar to LEED) to exceed state codes or a baseline building performance rating (i.e., ASHRAE 90.1), whichever is greater, by 21 percent — whereas LEED's minimum benchmark is 10 percent better than the ASHRAE Standard for new construction and just 5 percent for a renovation project.
To be able to document this energy performance requires third-party commissioning (Cx), which is also one of the requirements of LEED. But again, Connecticut goes further — the base requirement under high performance exceeds even the enhanced Cx credit under LEED. Getting LEED Cx doesn't require a certified commissioning authority; Connecticut requires a certified authority that is also licensed as a professional engineer. Whereas LEED commissioning requires the review of the Owner's Project Requirements, Connecticut's high-performance commissioning requires that the authority assist in the OPR's development and (LEED is silent on this) participate in the collaborative design process. While the differences in Connecticut's high-performance requirements and LEED's are often indistinguishable or insignificant, these represent a major difference, and in the context of a whole building performing over many years, these can represent a very significant separation in performance.
Moser Pilon Nelson's 2011-12 renovation of and addition to Highland Park Elementary School in Manchester, Conn., was one of the first building projects to meet the state's high-performance standards, and we saw firsthand the state's more commonsense approach. It has many of the same elements as LEED, and owners can feel good about how many sustainable materials have been specified for the building, for example.
Beyond that, Connecticut's requirements are much more tied to the design of the building and its building envelope and mechanical systems, as well as a higher level of verification through commissioning. The end result should be a building that performs better.
It's possible that the states that have tied their green efforts to LEED Silver will abandon it for a higher minimum standard, but momentum on the legislative front has slowed considerably, probably due to the ongoing recession. A few states — again, Connecticut turns up high on this list — have made organizational changes that should simplify code rewrites where school construction and sustainability intersect. In Connecticut's case, the newly created (in 2011) Division of Construction Services consolidated various disciplines: The Bureau of Design and Construction, which had been a division of the Department of Public Works; the Bureau of School Facilities, which was in the State Department of Education; and the Division of Fire and Building Services, which was in the Department of Public Safety. Then, in 2013, the DCS was folded into the Department of Administrative Services. These moves put construction services and code writing under the same umbrella, allowing for a more seamless authority.
More green? The planning of an 80,000-square-foot project similar to Highland Park — located on a community college campus, which will involve the demolition of a building wing, the gut renovation of the main portion and a new building addition — has taken place with the knowledge that the client will pursue LEED in addition to the project meeting the high-performance standards. Should the client pursue LEED Gold or Platinum, there may be significant added cost.
Even in a state where high-performance requirements make lower levels of LEED somewhat superfluous, the majority of owners won't abandon LEED. Our planning on an 80,000-square-foot project similar to Highland Park — located on a community college campus, the project will involve the demolition of a building wing, the gut renovation of the main portion and a new building addition — has taken place with the knowledge that the client will pursue LEED in addition to the project meeting the high-performance standards. Should the client pursue LEED Gold or Platinum, there may be significant added cost — Platinum in particular may result in the addition of big-ticket items such as solar power, green roofs and geothermal heating systems — but plenty of marketing power, too.
While its influence may at this moment appear to be on the wane, the U.S. Green Building Council has a history of responding quickly to such challenges by making changes to LEED and by adding new ways to achieve sustainability. Should this circumstance play out in similar fashion, the USGBC will once again be able to claim the mantle of leadership, with the states following in its wake.


This memo is to request your assistance with Virginias Character Education Project. As you know, the Department of Education received a three-year grant to provide technical assistance and to disseminate information statewide related to the development and implementation of character education programs.
As part of this initiative, we want to develop an informal needs assessment and a list of individuals in each school division who are responsible for character education. The information you provide will be useful in helping us to determine the level of need throughout the state, and it will enable us to communicate efficiently with the appropriate person in your school division.
Please help us by completing the enclosed survey. It is brief and should require only a few minutes of your time. We appreciate your help.


Here is the podcast discussion this post. Click the pic and listen along as you read!
A sift of FOAMed FOAMcc and POCUS gems.
A great article worth looking through, outlining the utilisation of ultrasound in critical care. 10 points why it is a highly useful diagnostic aid to the critical care practitioner.
thoracic anaesthesia patients are a challenge both intaop and particularly, postop. This article outlives the pitfalls and pearls of management of often quite twisted physiology!
You're not on Twitter…why not?!!
This article demonstrates the power of what all of you already know about. Twitter acts as one of the most powerful webs of multiplicative resource broadcast to literally billions of people. Can you keep up to date with almost everything in your field in just an hour….almost!
Water, water, water…that's all we are really!
Water is fundamental to everything….the fact we can't survive long without it Vs food is a testament to this! Have a read of this highly interesting article on the historical ladder we have ascended in order to understand how good old H2O and our bodies are in harmony! Toad bladders to aquaporin channels…it's all here!
Everyone is petrified of Bad research!
Have a read…another along the lines of 'Carlisle'! This lovely editorial outlines the fact that there is an obsession with positive results! Negative results though are just as important. Terms such as the 'file drawer effect' and dissemination bias were relatively unfamiliar to me, but after sifting through the text, researcher behaviour becomes quite interesting!
Get those great guidelines out for us all!!
This article talks through how and why we disseminate great guidelines. Why hide quality? I had no idea this project existed until now but it oozes originality! Have a look here at another project magicproject. The process starts when the WikiRecs team identifies a new study that might initiate a change in practice. A guideline panel then convenes to determine which populations, outcomes, and subgroups to consider. A semi-independent systematic review team then quickly synthesizes all the evidence for all patient-important outcomes and subgroups identified by the panel. The panel considers the evidence in the context of patient values and preferences and makes a recommendation—either strong or weak—in favour of the intervention or the comparator.
KCL…that stops your heart doesn't it!??
A nice letter proposing something most of us wouldn't dream of! But, is this the ritalin therapy for refractory VF….more research needed perhaps!
Get them on the filter…early!
An exciting area of research…well it is if you want to do as many projects into this area and eventually find a positive result i.e it decreases 28 day mortality? This article outlines just that in cardiac surgery patients. If you as much as sniff AKI in these patients, getting them onto early RRT within 24 hours offers a mortality benefit. We are about to commence a similar trial on our general ICU. STAART-AKI trial..STandard Versus Accelerated Initiation of Renal Replacement Therapy in Acute Kidney Injury (STARRT-AKI): A Multi-Centre, Randomized, Controlled Trial (Principal Trial).
Look into the eyes…not around the eyes!
More than half of the patients displayed signs of retinal pathology, including fluorescein-leaking retinal micro-aneurysms, vitreous hemorrhages, and other retinal hemorrhages. These findings were bilateral in 75% of the affected cases. Ocular hypertension was present in 16% of all septic patients. Food for follow up, or more 'eye opening' research!
We all set these, but are we practising what we preach? This article looked at neurocritcal care clinicians, 868 in total and what their transfusion triggers were in acute brain injured patients. Seems half stuck to 7-8, but the other half varied it according to specific clinical scenarios.
Most respondents agreed that a randomized clinical trial was needed to compare two different Hb thresholds for RBC transfusion, particularly in patients with traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and ischemic stroke.
Really interesting concept…take your critically ill patient, give them 500ml ringer's lactate and track it's clearance. This is a feasibility look at whether this is possible…and it is. Cue medical company race to produce the kit!!
Should we follow all of this goal directed therapy lark!?
Well, it appears so! This has long been debated, and in the light of the rather negative press on EGDT trials in sepsis, it brings refreshing results. We are about to commence the FLO-ELA trial at northampton looking at this area in emergent laparotomies.
Permissive hypercarbia, now permissive hypotension? Well…seems pushing beyond 70 is pointless really. But…the 65 Trial may enlighten us as to whether even >65 is overkill in certain patient sub-sets.
Who could predict?! Various people is the answer!
This is a good study looking at how good we are at reading the crystal ball with our patients. It's an area many of us get rather uncomfortable over, as relatives often ask the burning question…how long do they have etc etc. This focusses down on various functional variables, as well as 6 month mortality.
In cancer patients with septic shock does a restrictive vs. a liberal transfusion threshold reduce 28 day mortality? The good old 7 Vs 9 transfusion threshold was looked at in this patient subset. We saw the results of TRISS and TRICC and reports were that we should verge on the restrictive front. This trial demonstrated a trend in mortality benefit to the liberal group. Surprising!
Adrian Wong has done it again and produced a fabulous update for us on ESICM Athens…all about heamodynamic monitoring. Brilliant stuff. Have a look through.
Loads to read here. Do take a look.


Nose: The aroma of glazed cherries layered over vanilla ice cream takes hold, as the aroma develops into lemon gelati with a slight citrus twang. There is a luscious chocolate that underlies the other character, best described as white chocolate that is partially melted and oozing with sugary caramel-like sweetness. Mild notes of herbs develop too, especially mint, with crisp wafer biscuits.
Taste: The entry is light, mild and slightly bitter. The bitterness is then balanced by sugars from the cask and the lingering chocolate and alcohol preserved cherries remain. The port cask influence is clear, and the cask seemed to be a little over excited because this whisky has port written all over it. The thick fog of port allows only slight flickers of character to shine through, but that is enough! The port is not too sweet, and very enjoyable.
Finish: The finish is a combination of chocolate and cherry, developing into prune in syrup with a dash of anise seed alcohol and… yes, port!


The process for the public to address the County Board is dependent upon whether the matter to be addressed involves a zoning petition or a non-zoning item.
ZONING PETITION-Members of the public wishing to address the County Board regarding a zoning petition on the board agenda do not need to register in advance.
When the zoning petition is called on the agenda, the Chair will ask if there are any proponents of the petition and/or opponents of the petition that wish to address the Board. Both proponents and opponents are given two minutes for an intial presentation, and then one minute of rebuttal to comments made in the initial presentation. County Board members may also have questions for the proponents and opponents. When there are a large number of people wishing to speak either in favor or in opposition to the zoning petition, the Chair shall have the right to ask that one or two people serve as spokesmen for a group, in order to avoid duplicative comments.
NON-ZONING ITEM-Members of the public who wish to address the County Board on a non-zoning item must register to do so no later than 4:30pm the day before the County Board meeting. The written request shall state the name of the person speaking, the topic the speaker desires to address to the Board and the date and time of the meeting. It is also requested, but not required, that the applicant provide a home address, phone number and email address of the person addressing the Board, any County employment relationship or representative capacity.
Unless waived by a majority vote of the Board members present, total public comment time for non-zoning items listed on the agenda will be limited to thirty (30) minutes at the beginning of the agenda. Individuals who have provided notice of their intent to speak on non-zoning items listed on the agenda will be allowed five (5) minutes. A total public comment time for non-zoning items not listed on the agenda will be limited to fifteen (15) minutes at the end of the agenda. Individuals who have provided notice of their intent to speak on non-zoning items not listed on the agenda will be allowed three (3) minutes.
In the event the allotted time for public comment will be exceeded, based on the number of individuals who have provided written notice of their intent to speak on non-zoning items, the Chairman shall have the right to allow a reasonable additional time period for public comment on any single non-zoning issue and to alter the order of the speakers in order to ensure that all viewpoints are heard.
Written materials or handouts will be permitted. Visual/audio aids may be used so long as they are not disruptive to the proceedings of the County Board and/or present a danger to persons or property.
All speakers will be required to address the Board from the designated locations in the County Board Chambers, using the microphone provided.
Speakers desiring to influence specific County Board actions are encouraged, but not required, to make an initial presentation at the appropriate County Board standing committee. Each standing committee of the Board shall insure that time is made available for comment by members of the public and employees, subject to the limitations of time and the business of the committee.
Speakers shall refrain from statements or remarks that concern the private activities or lifestyles of individual county employees that are wholly unrelated to the business of the county.
Individuals addressing the Board shall refrain from statements, remarks or conduct that is uncivil, rude, profane or otherwise disruptive to the conduct of the County Board or which causes a disturbance.
The Chairman may refer all questions submitted by a speaker to the appropriate County Board committee, elected official or department head for a response at a later date where appropriate.

You probably know Grady has one of the nation's best trauma centers, a top-rated Burn Center and the highly respected Marcus Stroke and Neuroscience Center. We routinely save people who are beyond the capabilities of other hospitals.
But we do much, much more. Every day, our caregivers heal injuries, treat sniffles and help patients manage chronic diseases so they don't get in the way of daily routines. Our physicians serve on the staffs of Emory and Morehouse medical schools and include specialists in cancer, urology, cardiology, neurology and other serious illnesses. But we also have physicians who offer more routine care for families and seniors.
These caregivers are not satisfied with just saving patients. Their goal is to help patients live their lives to the fullest.

Israel Report: Netanyahu Turned Down Secret Saudi Peace Initiative in 2014
Report: Netanyahu Turned Down Secret Saudi Peace Initiative in 2014
By Hamodia Staff

Saudi Arabia blamed Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu for the collapse of a secret Saudi peace initiative after the 2014 Gaza war, according to media reports Tuesday night.
Israeli and Saudi sources were quoted by Israel's Channel 13 and the Axios news site claiming that Netanyahu initially reacted positively to an "upgraded version of the 2002 Arab peace initiative," but when the Saudis asked the Israelis to show "flexibility" on a draft agreement, Netanyahu ended the contacts.
The Saudis sources said that Riyadh "went further than they have ever gone," in the negotiations with Israel, and when Netanyahu pulled out after weeks of high-level talks, they felt angry and humiliated.
"The sources told me," wrote Axios editor Mike Allen, "that Prince Bandar conveyed a message to Netanyahu two months later, with the bottom line being that he believed Netanyahu lied to him."
The proposals included a joint presentation by Netanyahu and the Saudi foreign minister at the UN General Assembly calling for a renewed peace process, and that Saudi Arabia would lead a regional push for the reconstruction of Gaza.

The Phoenix Zoo was planning a new exhibit, in order to keep the zoo's content fresh and exciting for patrons. However, the exhibition would feature smaller animals in glass tanks -- not as visually interesting as the large animals seen elsewhere in the zoo. How could Phoenix Zoo stay true to the educational content of the new exhibit yet bring it to life?
For the Phoenix Zoo, Vilocity helped develop a new exhibit, "Danger or Deception." This included a series of interactive kiosks featuring original cartoon characters that educated while they entertained. Vilocity also branded and productized the exhibit through logo design, signage creation and merchandise development. It was all in an effort to teach kids and adults that some animals are truly dangerous and some just fake it to stay alive. In fact, the exhibit included "Danger Meters" at each animal display so visitors could guess if an animal was dangerous or just deceptive. "Scaredy Cat," a cartoon feline that pretends to be dangerous by hiding behind a scary mask, was host of the exhibit. The character was designed to help kids understand the exhibit's theme.
The new exhibit, "Danger or Deception," was a big hit with kids and adults alike. Attendance far surpassed the previous period, and the exhibit helped garner significant publicity – even a live remote from ABC TV.

Leaving your parent's home and moving into your first place can be so exciting, but it can also be a stressful time. So many decisions to make and so many details to look after, all on your own. Here are some tips for you to think about as you consider moving into your first place on your own.
As you plan to move into your first place on your own you want to seriously consider the location.
Are you moving away from your parent's home to attend college or have you found a new job? Whatever the reason, you want to make sure that you look for a place that is close to school or work, in a safe neighborhood, and is affordable.
As you begin to consider your options, you may want to think about sharing your new place with a roommate or two. There are definitely pros and cons to this, but if you spend some time looking for the right person you may actually enjoy living with someone else.
Keep in mind that best friends don't always make the best roommates.
While many of us move out of our parent's home and into our first place without putting too much thought into it, you will find living on your own a lot easier if you spend some time reviewing your finances and creating a budget before you leave home.
List your sources of income, including all employment income, scholarships, student loans, and so forth. Then list your expenses, such as school, books, food, clothes, tenants insurance, utilities, transportation, and of course, rent.
Remember that your rent and utilities should never add up to more than 30% of your income.
As well, keep in mind that most landlords ask for first and last month's rent on the day that you move in. They may also ask for a small deposit if you have a pet with you.
Once you have your budget calculated you will have a much better idea of how much rent you can pay. This will be important when you decide on location and whether or not you will have a roommate.
Reading a rental agreement can be quite boring, but it is a must, right down to the very last detail. There may be points in there that you might think you will never need, but you never know what the future holds.
If you do not understand something, ask questions. Never sign in a hurry. If you still do not understand ask your parents to read the agreement, or hire a lawyer to review it. You want to make sure that it protects you and not just the landlord.
Also, you want to understand what your rent includes, how much they can increase it by in the future, and when.
Can you have pets? Can you even have roommates?
What happens if there is an emergency, such as a water leak? Who fixes it and who pays for it?
Can you paint? Can you hang pictures?
All of these questions need to be addressed before you sign the rental agreement. Keep in mind that this is a legal document and it is not easy to make changes once it is signed.
When moving into your first place on your own you may not have a lot of furniture and personal belongings.
If that is the case, instead of renting a big moving truck, you may wish to hire a company willing to do small moves – no move is too small for some companies, as we found out a few years ago.
You will definitely save a lot of money, and once you are settled into your new place, you can begin purchasing new items for your new home.
Now that you are on your own you will need to start paying for utilities, unless of course they are included in your rent.
Accounts for water, gas and electricity will need to be registered in your name with local providers.
You may also need to setup cable, Internet, and telephone depending on your needs.
As you create your budget, remember that many of these companies charge a deposit on brand new accounts. Sometimes that deposit can be as high as $200. If you make your payments on time for the entire first year, you should receive your deposit back after the first year is up. If you have to open accounts with several different companies, those deposits will quickly add up, so it is important to have the extra cash available when moving into your first place on your own.

Children's early experiences and relationships in the first five years of life are critical for development. In the early years, your child's main way of learning and developing is through play. Other influences on development include genes, nutrition, physical activity, health and community.
The risk factors and interventions influencing cognitive development in children can be divided into three domains: nutrition, environment, and maternal-child interactions.Nutrition. … Environment. … Maternal-Child Interactions.

There are three principles of growth and development: the cephalocaudal principle, the proximodistal principle, and the orthogenetic principle. These predictable patterns of growth and development allow us to predict how and when most children will develop certain characteristics.
Growth is just 'getting bigger', whereas development is improvement. Growth can be explained as becoming bigger or larger or having more importance. Growth is termed as a physical change, where as development is said to be physical as well as social or psychological change.
Over the past 100 years, the study of environmental influences on human physical growth and development has focused on the influences of social and economic factors; family and household characteristics; urbanization/modernization; nutrition; and features of the physical environment such as altitude, temperature and …

Being a safe place for children to learn, grow, and challenge themselves.
Establishing routines and expectations that promote active learning.
Showing a passion for learning that is contagious and enduring.
Taking the time to know students on a personal level; their likes, dislikes, fears, and strengths.
Great teachers and school leaders know that children learn best when they feel a connection to their school, their teacher, and their classmates. These values are not found in state standards or in textbooks, but they are equally, if not more important.
Let's make sure that we give our teachers the freedom to establish welcoming classrooms that value the individuality of every child. Before we turn our focus to collecting data, let's show students that we care deeply about the unique and amazing individuals they are.
Our teachers return to school next week. They'll spend the week preparing their rooms, getting to know new colleagues, and participating in many staff development opportunities. Of course, they will be most excited to get ready for and meet their new students. One of the greatest parts of working in education is the sense of renewal that comes with the start of the school year. The excitement is palpable as custodians clean, teachers put names on desks, and grade level teams begin planning for instruction.
I am sure that other professions experience feelings of renewal, but in teaching we get that opportunity every year. No matter how challenging the previous year was, we begin the new school year with high hopes, aspirations, and dreams. As Deborah Day notes above, renewal only requires that we open ourselves up to new ways of thinking and feeling. What an awesome notion! All we have to do is consider the possibilities.
Once the possibilities are considered, human nature takes over and we have the opportunity to reinvent ourselves. If we were disorganized, we can become organized. If we lacked energy, we can become more energetic. If we were an average teacher, we can do better or even become great! August and September are the times to consciously decide what the year will be like and then work for it.
Our students deserve teachers who re-commit themselves to their profession at the start of the school year. Thankfully, I see teachers who do this with grace and consistency every year. They welcome their new students with open and accepting arms, provide structure and support, and take them to places they have never been before. They build independent learners who are self-sufficient in the pursuit of knowledge.
Let's salute and celebrate the teachers who come back with a rejuvenated energy for the profession they love. They are the ones who will make a difference in the lives of our students. They are the ones who remind us of the value of renewal in teaching.

Recently, with its acquisition of API.ai, the tech giant Google took a shot at Facebook's chatbot-building services. API.ai helps developers build and improve conversational interfaces for their services. Well not only this, the company has more than 60,000 developers using its platform to create conversational user interfaces for apps like Slack, Facebook Messenger and Kik. Its tools make it easier for programs to parse human language and translate it into action. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Offerings- The company offers a vast suite of capabilities for natural language understanding, including pre-defined knowledge packages known as Domains, which make it easier for assistants to understand a variety of common requests any additional coding. In addition, API.ai also operates Assistant, an intelligent chatbot of its own that has more than 40 million users.
The news comes a few months after Google announced Ello, an upcoming chat app that will let users bring bots into a conversation alongside human participants. The app isn't available yet, but API.ai may give developers an added incentive to build for it.

Q: Elasticsearch not sure if filter or query should be first I am using ES for my Laravel app.
What I want to do is a search filtering.
I do a fulltext search on the title field and then check that the price is between 0 - 9999 and that active is set to 1.
But both these queries seems to work fine on my test data. But what is the difference between them? Does the order "query" comes in play any diffrence?
Ignore the syntax, just take a look at the query structure.
First query
'filtered' => [
                'query' => [
                    'match' => ['title' => Input::get('query')]
                ],
                'filter'=> [
                    'bool' => [
                        'must' => [
                            ['term' => [ 'active' =>  1] ],
                            [ 'range' => [
                                    'price' => [
                                        'gte' => 1,
                                        'lte' => 99999,
                                    ]
                                ]
                            ]
                        ]
                    ]
                ],
            ],

Second query
'filtered' => [
    'filter' => [
      'bool' => [
         'must' => [
            ['term' => [ 'status' =>  1] ],
            [
               'range' => [
                  'price' => [
                      'gte' => 1,
                      'lte' => 99999,
                  ]
               ]
            ]
         ]
      ]
  ],
  'query' => [
      'match' => [
        'title' => Input::get('query', '')
      ]
   ]
]

Thanks in advance.

A: It makes no difference at all in which order filter and query are mentioned in a filtered query. What dictates if query or filter is executed first for a document depends on an expert-level optional field called strategy of filtered query. For more information, read this.


I do believe that the latest "Doctor Who" holiday special was my favourite. For one thing, it was about the idea of a superhero, which is a pretty easy route to my heart. Its guest star did an excellent job in that role, and his portrayal of his heroic persona's secret identity immediately brought to mind an adult Peter Parker. Then I began to think that I recognised the actor from something. A modicum of research revealed that the only thing from which this vague familiarity could have possibly come was "Dragon Ball Evolution", that live "Dragon Ball" movie that barely bore any resemblance to any other form of "Dragon Ball". But the actor's charm was still pretty apparent in that Goku role, and the incoherent choice to make him a high school student in that film helped to reinforce the feel of a teenage Peter Parker. For having essentially played Spider-Man at both developmental stages without ever explicitly playing Spider-Man, Justin Chatwin gets some serious love from me. And an award? It's the season for that. I just don't know if there's any award show that's specifically about Spider-Man minutiae. There are the Webby Awards, but I think that those are mainly about the internet. Anyway. Just saying. Saiyan? Shh. No. But if there were Spider-Man awards with such esoteric categories, this would be the year to give him one in apology for passing him over when that "Dragon Ball" thing came out. Because that's how award shows work.
Best Spider-Man reference that's not actually a Spider-Man reference?
The special was called "The Return of Doctor Mysterio". It's actually just referring to the title of "Doctor Who" in some other language.

day 18: cool papa bell
Today is 18 days, which is two weeks and four days of the omer: netzach she'b'tiferet.
How fast was Cool Papa Bell? "One time he hit a line drive right past my ear," Satchel Paige said. "I turned around and saw the ball hit his ass sliding into second base."
How fast was Cool Papa Bell? "If he bunts and it bounces twice, put it in your pocket," Ted Radcliffe said.
How fast was Cool Papa Bell? "If he hit one back to the pitcher," Jimmie Crutchfield said, "Everyone yelled, 'Hurry up!'"
How fast was Cool Papa Bell? "He could turn out the lights and be in bed and under the covers before the room got dark," said Josh Gibson.
How fast was Cool . . .? "Faster than that!" said Buck O'Neil, before the question was even finished.
How fast was Cool Papa Bell? Jesse Owens refused to race him.
Cool Papa Bell of the Homestead Grays slides into third base during the first game of a double-header against the Baltimore Elite Giants at Washington's Griffith Stadium on Negro National League Opening Day, May 16, 1943.
Negro Leagues center fielder James Thomas Bell may well have been the fastest man ever to play baseball: It was said he could run the bases in less than 13 seconds. He certainly had poise in batting — he finished his career with a .341 lifetime batting average — and in fielding — there didn't seem to be a fly ball he couldn't catch — but the moniker by which he was known his whole life came from his first days in the league, where he started as a left-handed pitcher at age 19 and stayed preternaturally calm during a pressure-packed strikeout of veteran slugger Oscar Charleston to end a crucial inning.
A note about numbers and the Negro Leagues: Bell probably wore several different numbers on the jerseys he wore from the nine different teams he played for in his 24-year career. It's hard to figure out, but there is some evidence that his Washington Homestead Grays uniform featured the number 18. Of course, player numbers were the least of the record keeping problems in the Negro Leagues. Bell told a reporter in 1981, "I remember one game I got five hits and stole five bases, but none of it was written down because they didn't bring the scorebook to the game that day."
Mississippi native Bell had an historical marker installed in his hometown of Starkville in 1999.
Despite the distinct lack of sabermetrics, Bell was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1974, one of the first Negro Leagues players to be so recognized in MLB's attempt to rectify discrimination because of its color line. Bell retired the year before Jackie Robinson stepped onto Ebbets Field for the first time in April, 1947, but not before Bell's speed convinced the Kansas City Monarchs to play Robinson at second base because he couldn't throw Bell out as short stop. (Bell was 42 at the time.) In response to the HoF belated recognition Bell quipped,
So many people say that I was born too soon, but that's not true. They opened the doors too late.
It's hard to imagine a player whose beauty manifests with more endurance than Cool Papa Bell. Let's count day 18 in his honor — and this chai day in honor of all of the many Negro Leagues players who never got their due.

"Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance" (Acts 2:28).
Have you ever wondered what Jesus was like day to day—His heart, His attitude? Did He look crushed by all the burdens He carried? Did He weep? Was there a solemn heaviness in His presence?
He did weep, and He did carry heavy burdens. In Gethsemane He sweat drops of blood, and at other times He groaned and sighed over unbelief. But the Word of God makes it clear that Christ was full of joy and gladness.
"For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be [troubled]: therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad" (Acts 2:25-26). In speaking this to the Council of the Jews, Peter quoted a prophecy from Psalm 16. It was a vision of Christ, Who would have a rejoicing heart, a tongue speaking gladness and a countenance full of joy because of the presence of His Father.
We are to rejoice, be glad and full of joy for the same reasons Jesus was joyful. The first reason for His joy was that He knew it was impossible for death to hold Him. And so it is for us! This knowledge destroys the wicked doctrine that says Jesus was put into the devil's hands and had to fight His way out of hell. Jesus knew on earth that death could not hold Him—and so do we!
Second, the Lord is at our right hand in all our troubles. We can rest hopefully and expectantly, knowing He is beside us at all times.
Third, "Thou will not leave my soul in [death]" (verse 27). We will rise to new life in a new body, in a new world. And last, His very presence floods us with joy! How can we do anything but shout and be glad when we have been delivered from hell, promised eternal life, given His assurance in all troubles here on earth, and have His presence manifested before us?

Q: how to gulp rsync locally I'm working on site files outside of my local htdocs that I want to deploy to the local site. I will use gulp-watch to watch for changes, but I'm stumbling on just the rsync set up. File structure:
sitename/ --
    --htdocs/sites/all/themes/themename
    --source/themes/themename

And here's the gulpfile:
var gulp = require('gulp');
var rsync = require('gulp-rsync');

gulp.task('deploy', function() {
  gulp.src('source/**')
    .pipe(rsync({
    root: 'source',
    destination: '/htdocs/sites/all'
  }));
});

And when I run gulp deploy
[11:36:53] Using gulpfile ~/Sites/sitename/gulpfile.js
[11:36:53] Starting 'deploy'...
[11:36:53] Finished 'deploy' after 5.23 ms

Nothing is written anywhere. Am I missing something obvious...

A: rsync is short for "remote sync", and thus needs a destination somehwere else than your local system. If you want to synchronize stuff from one directory to the other, just use the built-in gulp methods.
gulp.task('deploy', function() {
   gulp.src('source/**')
      .pipe(gulp.dest('/htdocs/sites/all');
});

This will copy everything you need to the other folder. If you are looking to also delete files, add this to your watcher:
var watcher = gulp.watch('./source/**/*', ['deploy']);
watcher.on('change', function(ev) {
    if(ev.type === 'deleted') {
        // path.relative gives us a string where we can easily switch
        // directories
        del(path.relative('./', ev.path).replace('./source','/htdocs/sites/all'));
    }
});


Our Senior Management Training breaks down the grand title and unpicks what being senior is all about.
Now that you have been recognised as someone who can fulfil your organisations vision and values.
Are you a true leader of others?
So you're a Senior Manager - a grand title but what exactly does it mean?
How did you become 'Senior'?
Unlikely that you just waited for old age to settle in and wisdom to accumulate.
If we unpick what being senior means we think it boils down to a few important things - some about you personally and some that are about how you hold your company.
Quite a lot of it is about how you 'take on' the company mantle, holding the company point of view rather than being one of the crew.
Taking responsibility for the company line even when it doesn't exactly match your feelings or thoughts.
That means you don't get to moan about 'management' any more - you are management.
As a senior manager, you often have to manage people who manage other people so you have even less direct control over the sharp end of delivery.
The job becomes more about motivating and inspiring people to do a good job - calling you in when they need you rather than constant monitoring.
Developing the high potential people can really free you up.
After all, you want to have the time to do all that senior stuff.
Like seeing the bigger picture, having a vision for the future that fits with the overall strategy of the company and making decisions, some tough ones.
'Making decisions?' we hear you say.
If that's not a strong point with you or with the organisation then you might find it handy to have a couple of techniques to hand that help with some of the tricky ones.
A popular and very simple technique is to list all the pros and cons and that can often help.
That's a start... you can carry on by mapping out all the different things that affect the decision and then looking at which ones you can shift instead of expending any energy whatsoever on the ones you can't.
Another area to explore is how you are perceived in the company.
A senior person often has a reputation - in the good sense of the word - and commands respect.
Some awareness of what it is you have done and how you do it can help you to focus on building the reputation you want and the respect you deserve.
Being a senior manager means you have been recognised as someone who can fulfil your organisation's vision and values - a true leader of others.
Our Tailored Senior Management Training comes in many formats from one-to-one through to fully tailored company wide programmes.
We can run senior management training at your premises, any third party venue or at our own London Training Suite at the Business Design Centre in Islington.
