World Cup Day 11: Thoughts On Belgium's Victory Over Russia
1) With all three of their goals coming in the final 20 minutes of games (70′ and 80′ against Algeria, 88′ most recently versus Russia), and all of which either tied or won a contest, Belgium has made a habit of springing to life late during the World Cup within the last week. Whether the additional pressure playing as the clear favorite when the game winds down proves stimulating–which seems unlikely, as the scarcity of WC experience on the roster would only indicate a poor reaction to facing a deficit/deadlock late–or culminations of game-long offensive attacks and possession advantage, the Red Devils have thrived like no other squad in last-gasp opportunities. Just as the rest of soccer world settles on writing off this rising European power, as talent-packed as its continental contemporaries, and decries the team for its overrated label, Belgium strikes–often following an extensive, dispiriting lull in the game–and emerges victorious, to where it's now clinched a second round berth with six points in Group H. Such a naturally-developed tendency has worked to the their favor in perhaps the weakest group in the tournament, but the Belgians will have to start much more sharply once commencing play in the knockout rounds. There were signs of this kind of effort to begin forcefully in the early-going during the game against Russia, but those ended in vain, as Belgium couldn't not sustain their attacks towards goal until they resurfaced late in the second half.
2) It was a given that Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard would make an impact in Brazil, but it wasn't until Sunday that he truly made his mark–and in typical 2014 WC-Belgium fashion, doing so as the game reached the final whistle. As the Red Devils pushed animatedly for an elusive go-ahead score, Hazard was right in the middle of the action, his creativity shining amid solo runs and productively slick distribution to his teammates. As the game progressed, his touch and ability to weave through the opposing defense became more refined and noticeable. The midfielder set up several chances–ones that his fellow Belgians should have undoubtedly better capitalized on–before finally exhibiting his best run with two minutes left in regulation, with Hazard's pass finding 19-year old substitute Divock Origi, who had enough room to comfortably power home the winner.
3) Finally, Belgian manager Marc Wilmots has continued to display a magic touch in managing and tinkering with his squad, another one of his substitution decisions paying major dividends late in the game: after he sent Origi onto the field on the 57th minute, the young striker scored 31 minutes later to give Belgium a thrilling 1-0 victory. Wilmots's other two subs helped the cause as well, providing fresh legs and buffering the team's offensive drives. And while the Red Devils shouldn't rely on this golden touch (a lucky one for the most part, unless he's in the midst of revealing his unheralded coaching genius) in future games as much as on their performance on the field–which alone should carry the team far–it's quite reassuring to have a coach that can positively effect the course of the game like Wilmots, based on his knowledge and feel for a squad that has lately experienced some chemistry issues.

World Cup Day 6: Belgium vs. Algeria Analysis
Difficulties for the darkhorse
Aspirations of succeeding on the World Cup stage–capitalizing on an uncomplicated route to the quarterfinals–and cementing its status as a rising European superpower go hand in hand for Belgium during this tournament. Yet for all their purported attacking prowess, and European club renown and experience, the Red Devils came out of the gates as lethargic and lifeless as one could imagine. Perhaps even more unsettling, the first half of play featured an utterly glaring lack of chemistry between the Belgian players. Simple ball movement governed the team's pace of play–eventually totaling an eye-popping 616 passes by game's end, 537 of which were short passes–as well as a fixation on maintaining possession, as the team's 67.1% (per WhoScored.com) in this category currently ranks them third best in the WC. Yet this philosophy produced no results, as futile offensive efforts snapped prior to the ball even grazing Algeria's goalie box. Pushes originated in the back line, and often reached the midfield third of the pitch, but Belgium could not find, much less create, openings in a stout Algerian defense, precluding even a basic touch on the ball by forward Romelu Lukaku. Moreover, it appeared that the players had little understanding of each other's styles of touch and tendencies–it was as if they were exchanging passes with players with which they were unacquainted. Belgium's first shot on goal–by Axel Witsel–only came on the 21st minute. The midfielder, and one of the few Belgian players to express assertiveness with the ball at his feet during the first 45 minutes, also fired away again on the 34th minute, thus contributing for Belgium's two best shots on target.
Algeria's deserved lead
Unlike their counterparts, the Fennec Foxes emerged from the tunnel with authority to commence the first half of action. Expected to do nothing more than serve as a thorn in their Group H competitors' sides, the Algerians played with a free spirit and a reckless abandon, certainly catching a sluggish Belgian squad by surprise. Regardless of Belgium's domination of possession, Algeria prevented its opponent from even penetrating the goalie box for the better part of the opening half, with the Belgians first doing so at around the 32nd minute. As a result, it revealed a lot of positives about Algeria's defensive resoluteness, which in general embodied the entire team's grit and energy. Thus, when the Algerians earned a penalty and converted it, the team more than deserved to grab this one-goal advantage on the 25th minute; the score was a rightful product of Algeria starting the game with a different and higher level of vigor and liveliness than the inert Belgians.
Breakthrough for the Belgians
Fellaini (8) and Mertens (14) scored both of Belgium's goals as substitutes. (Reuters)
Hardly playing differently from their previous 70 listless minutes, Belgium finally–and surprisingly, resulting from an offensive push where players inexplicably stood motionless for the most part–stuck on the 70th minute from a Kevin De Bruyne lob into the goalmouth that landed in the path of a leaping Marouane Fellaini, who had just entered the game as a sub five minutes earlier. Height advantage certainly aided the 6'4" Fellaini in the situation, but it was more of a fortunate bounce than anything, as the midfielder headed the ball with the back of his head and steered it towards an unreachable spot on the goal frame.
10 minutes after breaking through with an equalizer, the Red Devils staged a fantastic counterattack, initiating from a tackle in the midfield. With stellar spacing–better than when the Belgians methodically paced upfield, and for that matter, did so in vain on attack–Dries Mertens opened up with a clear look on net within the goalie box, and powered through the go-ahead score. Yet another sub that has scored, who entered the game during halftime, Mertens's performance–in conjunction with that of fellow substitute Fellaini–will force manager Marc Wilmots to rethink the original lineup mixture he sent out on the field; both Mertens and Fellaini invigorated the Belgian offense, and in all honesty, should have started from the opening whistle.
Belgium can now move on from this disconcerting and unstable opening WC display, as after anxiously escaping a match against Algeria with a once-unlikely victory, any lineup mistakes Wilmots made are surely reparable going into the team's final two group stage matches–especially with this talent-laden roster capable of a much better quality of all-around play and offensive firepower.

Retrospect 2020
AM Ceramics 2019 Review
AM Ceramics 2019 was held in Munich from 19th – 20th September, and was working in cooperation with the Ceramitec Conference for the first time.
The conference opened with some keynotes, performed for all visitors. Please see the review from the Ceramitec Conference for more on this.
The 'Shape the Future of Ceramics' talk focused on the different applications for ceramics, including their uses in industry and medicine, as well as in research.
We were extremely proud to host speakers from multiple different companies and institutions from around the world, such as from Germany, the USA, Sweden and the UK.
Mrs Cathleen Hoel, from GE, concentrated on the practical considerations for additive manufacturing from conception to production in her "Insights from AM experts" lecture. Mr Fruth, from FIT, expanded upon this topic, telling us about his experiences and offering product solutions. Mr Nikolay, of WZR, compared different technologies and shared his expertise of best practice.
The point of view from the industrial side of things was offered by Mrs Bechelany of the Safran Group in France, Mrs Heibel of Cerix (Bosch) and Mr McLelland of Morgan. They all were very open in their presentation about the challenges there are in implementing a completely new technology into production processes, but also explained how they have overcome these difficulties and focused on the new opportunities created by this freedom of geometry.
For the last lecture of the first day, Mr. Schweiger from LMU Munich and Mr Redl from LBI discussed their experience with 3D printing, not only for dental applications, but also for bone replacements. Their findings highlight that there are a wide range of favourable possibilities still to be explored.
The first day ended with a panel discussion moderated by Karin Scharrer, of Göller Verlag, Mr Gaignon, of 3D Ceram, Mr Schnetter, of Schunk, Mr Graf, of Kläger, Dr Homa, of Lithoz and Mrs Heibel, of Cerix, shared their ideas on the industrialization of ceramic 3D printing. Experiences from established technologies were related to and compared with those of the additive manufacturing sector. The conclusion was that the additive manufacturing is now on the edge of serial production, with the first investments by industries in multiple machines and pre-orders of larger quantities of material.
The Ceramitec Conference then hosted a reception with dinner and music, which was greatly enjoyed and which led to lots of eager networking. The second day started with Mr Makaya, from the ESA, who discussed developments in the space agency with regards to additive manufacturing. Mr Scheithauer, of Fraunhofer IKTS, who is a regular speaker at the AM Ceramics, drew attention to the ways in which 3D printing is supporting and advancing challenging projects, while Mr Grande, ofSintef, focused on new potential applications for 3D printed filters in pharmaceutical development.
In the material characterization and testing discussion, Prof Lube, of the Leoben University of Mining, emphasised that testing must always take the future use of the part into account, because - unlike other technologies - the building direction has an important impact on the strength, and therefore optimization, of 3D printed parts. Mr Friedrich, of Fraunhofer HTL, spoke about his experiences with optimizing the thermal treatment of green bodies and compared different technologies in this area.
For the final talk of AM Ceramics 2019, Mr Kalantari, of Lucideon, summarized the experiences of the British ceramic industry with different technologies and shared his outlook upon the future of additive manufacturing while Mr Gradl, of EOS, spoke about the metal 3D printing industry and shared some success stories in the medical market.
The conference was complemented and enriched by a wide exhibition of major players in the ceramic sector, including 3D Ceram, Göller Verlag, Steinbach AG, Linseis, Nanoe and many more.
Mr Hakan Duman, CEO at Magspin Transparent Ceramics, summed up the event with the following words: "The Ceramitec Conference was a great success for us. It is the fastest and most efficient way to network with the right experts. As a Turkish company, we can certainly say that we are now well connected, not only with the European ceramic community, but also with the Indian community. Thank you for your hospitality".

Fracking paused at English site after new tremor
British shale gas company Cuadrilla has paused fracking at its Preston New Road site in northwest England for the second time in two weeks, after a tremor with a magnitude of 1.1 was detected on Monday, the company said.
The tremor is the third recorded at the Lancashire site over a 0.5 magnitude limit, set by the government, since the company restarted fracking for natural gas on October 15, although Cuadrilla said one was a so called "trailing event" which didn't stop production.
Fracking, or hydraulically fracturing, involves extracting gas from rocks by breaking them up with water and chemicals at high pressure.
It is opposed by environmentalists and green groups who say extracting more fossil fuel is at odds with Britain's commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, Britain's government is keen to reduce the country's reliance on imports of natural gas, which is used to heat around 80 percent of Britain's homes.
Fracking is debated in South Africa as well, where the government has lifted a 2011 moratorium in 2012 and several energy companies were subsequently granted exploration licenses.

American Music Festival offers buffet of bands on the beach
By Sam McDonald and smcdonald@dailypress.com | 757-247-4732
The American Music Festival's successful formula for a holiday weekend of hummable fun begins with trusty ingredients: Familiar acts playing familiar hits on a friendly stretch of sand and surf.
Over three days, more than 30 acts will perform along the Virginia Beach oceanfront. A few of the biggest shows will require tickets. That list includes Daughtry who performs Friday; Barenaked Ladies and Smash Mouth, who are set to rock Saturday; and Third Eye Blind with Robert Randolph & The Family Band, who will storm the festival stage on Sunday.
Most of the concerts, however, are totally free.
The 1970s rockers Edgar Winter and Leon Russell will play on the same stage on Friday, while smooth jazzers Norman Brown and Marion Meadows keep it cool a few blocks away. Quirky pop acts Modern English and Carbon Leaf will make toes tap Saturday evening at the same time 1970s hitmakers Three Dog Night and Ambrosia bring back musical memories a little ways down the boardwalk.
The American Music Festival, now in its 20th year, isn't trendy or experimental. Like a big, sloppy burger hot off the grill, it's intended to go down easy and put a smile on your face. The festival offers a weekend of music meant to help you savor the last, juicy morsels of Summer 2013.

American data company Nielsen has announced it will shut its airplay monitoring service in Europe on 31 Aug, according to Music Week.
The company says it has decided to end tracking airplay in Europe after "careful consideration". The decision was presumably influenced by the competition the firm faces in Europe from London-based rival Radiomonitor. Nielsen's airplay tracking in North America is not affected, nor is the company's digital download data operation SoundScan International.
Confirming all this, Nielsen said in a statement "After careful consideration, Nielsen will no longer offer airplay monitoring services to clients in Europe. This will have no effect on digital download sales data and businesses in the USA and Canada will continue as usual. No other services are affected. Ensuring a seamless transition for our clients is our top priority and we will be working with them closely in the coming weeks".

Is there a more detailed user manual? This one is just basic but I need to be able to understand all the applications and how to work them. I am not a "techie", so this is not easy for me.
Is there a Manual for CT1006?
It is surprised that there is not a detailed operating manual for CT-1006. Why Idea USA generated one since they are the one who manufactured the product.
I bought all the extra plugs etc which was recommend by you but the headphones are not compatible with the two new Samsung TV's that is what the technician I hired to install. I am sending the headphones back.

Biomuseo é um museu focado na história do Panamá, cujo istmo foi formado muito recentemente em tempo geológico, com grande impacto na ecologia do Hemisfério Ocidental. Localizado na Cidade do Panamá, noPanamá, foi projetado pelo renomado arquiteto Frank Gehry. Este foi o primeiro projeto de Gehry para a América Latina. O design foi concebido em 1999 e o museu foi inaugurado em outubro de 2014.

O Biomuseo destaca a história natural e cultural do Panamá, enfatizando o papel dos seres humanos no século XXI. Suas galerias contam a história de como a ascensão do istmo do Panamá mudou o mundo.

Efeito social
O projeto Gehry deve atrair turistas e ajudar a aumentar as atrações culturais do Panamá. O museu pode ter um efeito semelhante ao projeto Guggenheim de Gehry para Bilbao, que rejuvenesceu e colocou a cidade no mapa como um importante destino arquitetônico.

Three Alaska Native tribal organizations have won nearly $3 million in federal housing grants to improve living conditions in more than 100 homes.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced the Tribal Healthy Homes Production grants Monday in Juneau. The recipients hope to use the money for home repairs, education and to deal with mold and mildew issues.
The Organized Village of Kake and the Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority each received $1 million. The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium won almost $870,000.
Housing Authority Executive Director Joyce Niven said the organizations will work together and with partners to improve living conditions in their regions.
One issue she said they frequently deal with in Southeast is mold and mildew. With the area's wet climate, respiratory issues can result from poor ventilation in people's homes.
Niven said the Healthy Homes grant funding will help the organizations address those problems more thoroughly.
"When we're in the homes there's often so much to be done that we have to set priorities and figure out what's the most critical thing to get fixed. These funds will help us not have to set so many priorities and maybe get the entire home fixed,'" Niven said.
Niven said she and her staff will start work on an implementation plan due back to the federal government in 90 days.
The Healthy Homes grants are the first of their kind. HUD awarded $12 million in total to 13 tribal organizations across the country.

"Alabama Story" Will Get Peach State Premiere by Georgia Ensemble in 2022
Greta Lambert as Emily Reed in the 2020 Alabama Shakespeare Festival production of "Alabama Story." (Photo by Stewart Edmonds)
Georgia Ensemble Theatre in Roswell, GA, will give Alabama Story — the six-actor, one-set drama about an embattled librarian in the Deep South — its state premiere as part of the resident Equity company's 2021-22 season. Playwright Kenneth Jones' fact-inspired drama will be directed by Thomas W. Jones II for a run Feb. 17-March 6, 2022.
The acclaimed play has been seen in more than 40 productions around the country and is now published and licensed through Dramatists Play Service, from which you can get an e-copy of the script or ask about performance rights. (Hard copies of the script will be available at a later date.)
Georgia Ensemble Theatre bills Alabama Story this way: "Political foes, star-crossed childhood friends, and one feisty state librarian take the stage for a uniquely poetic love letter to reading. We all have more in common than we imagine. A drama based on true events."
Casting and full production team have not been announced.
GET's home in the Roswell Cultural Arts Center.
The play focuses on how Alabama state librarian Emily Wheelock Reed protected a children's book that was under attack by state politicians in 1959 Montgomery, AL. The book, "The Rabbits' Wedding" by Garth Williams, was about a black rabbit and a white rabbit who decide to marry. The play toggles between the political conflict and a reunion of two childhood friends that same year, with themes interlacing by play's end.
The 2021-22 GET season in the Roswell Cultural Arts Center, about 25 miles north of Atlanta, includes the Fats Waller revue Ain't Misbehavin', Kate Hamill's adaptation of Vanity Fair and the musical The Pretty Pants Bandit by Chase Peacock and Jessica DeMaria.
Get more information about Georgia Ensemble Theatre here. GET is under the leadership of producing artistic director Anita Allen-Farley.

About Bingo
Sheridan Smith confirms she's been snubbed from the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special
Lucy Buglass
Sheridan Smith, who played Smithy's sister Rudi, has announced she won't be starring in the eagerly anticipated Christmas episode.
James Corden, known for his breakthrough role as Smithy, confirmed the show would be returning for a one-off special nine years after the final episode. Fans everywhere were delighted at the news.
Unfortunately, Sheridan confirmed the bad news on Radio 2's Breakfast Show when she spoke to Zoe Ball.
The actress said, "I wish. No, I'm not going to be in it. I don't think, anyway."
"Like everyone, I can't wait to watch the Christmas Special. I'm so proud to be have been a part of something so special."
Despite the fact she won't be returning, it's nice to see she's so enthusiastic about the seasonal special, which is penned by both James Corden and Ruth Jones, the original creators of the show.
Ruth Jones and I have been keeping this secret for a while… We're excited to share it with you. See you on Christmas Day @BBCOne #GavinandStacey
A post shared by James Corden (@j_corden) on May 27, 2019 at 11:45pm PDT
Both writers will be reprising their roles too, as Smithy and Nessa, and Corden has described the new episode as a "nostalgic joy-bomb". We can't wait!
The decision to bring back the show was a difficult one, as for a while the show's creators 'weren't sure' if the series had ran its course or not. Running for only three series, it seemed to wrap things up nicely.
But, Corden said, "We owed it to the characters… fear is the absolute reason to do it."

The original cast we all know and love will be returning to our screens, including titular characters Gavin (Mathew Horne) and Stacey (Joanna Page), who fell in love after a long distance romance over the phone.
Would I Lie to You? host Rob Brydon will be returning as Bryn, with Larry Lamb and Alison Steadman back as Gavin's hilarious parents, Mick and Pam.
Appearing on This Morning, Larry Lamb said he was 'reduced to tears' after reading the new script.
"I was immediately into the feel of the whole thing, it just brought me along," he shared.

Classifier evaluation
=====================

.. ipython:: python
    :suppress:

    from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
    from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
    from sklearn import datasets
    from sklearn_evaluation import plot, table

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

sklearn-evluation has two main modules for evaluating classifiers: :mod:`sklearn_evaluation.plot` and
:mod:`sklearn_evaluation.table`, let's see an example of how to use them.

First, let's load some data and split it in training and test set.

.. ipython:: python

    data = datasets.make_classification(200, 10, 5, class_sep=0.65)
    X = data[0]
    y = data[1]

    # shuffle and split training and test sets
    X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.3)

Now, we are going to train the data using one of the scikit-learn classifiers.

.. ipython:: python

    est = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=5)
    est.fit(X_train, y_train)

Most of the functions require us to pass the class predictions for the test
set (``y_pred``), the scores assigned (``y_score``) and the ground truth classes
(``y_true``), let's define such variables.

.. ipython:: python

    y_pred = est.predict(X_test)
    y_score = est.predict_proba(X_test)
    y_true = y_test

We can start evaluating our model, the following example shows how to plot
a confusion matrix.

.. ipython:: python

    @savefig cm.png
    plot.confusion_matrix(y_true, y_pred)

Some classifiers (such as :class:`sklearn.ensemble.RandomForestClassifier`) have feature importances, we can plot
then passing the estimator object to the feature_importances function.

.. ipython:: python

    @savefig fi.png
    plot.feature_importances(est, top_n=5)

A feature importances function is also available in the table module.

.. ipython:: python

    print(table.feature_importances(est))

Now, let's see how to generate two of the most common plots for evaluating
classifiers: Precision-Recall and ROC.

.. ipython:: python

    @savefig pr.png
    plot.precision_recall(y_true, y_score)

.. ipython:: python

    @savefig roc.png
    plot.roc(y_true, y_score)

Q: Automatically allow user1 in group1 to edit file with owner user2 and group user2 I am confused with groups in Linux.
Considering that user1 is in both groups user1 and user2 (and vice versa):
user1> id user1
uid=1000(user1) gid=1000(user1) groups=1000(user1),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),50(staff),113(lpadmin),130(sambashare),131(vboxusers),1001(user2)

user1> id user2
uid=1001(user2) gid=1001(user2) groups=1001(user2),0(root),1000(user1)

I do not understand why user1 cannot edit a -rwxrw-r-- file owned by the user2 and group user2:
user1>ls -l hey.xml
-rwxrw-r-- 1 user2 user2 8385 May 24 11:39 hey.xml
user1>echo "fails" >> hey.xml
bash: hey.xml: Permission denied

but it works when I change the group:
user1> sudo chgrp user1 hey.xml
user1> echo "works" >> hey.xml

Once this question is hopefully answered, what can I do to always allow user1 to read-write files in that user2 group?
Thanks

A: Ensure that the files are owned by the group both users are in. If the files already exist, use the chown utility to change ownership. It'd be a bad idea to let user1 always be able to alter files created by user2.
I'd suggest creating a new group, and adding both users to it. This will also make it easier when you go to add user3 to the mix.

A: If you add a user to a group, the new membership will not take effect immediately.  The easiest way to ensure this is current is to have the user whose group membership has been changed log out and back in again.  Once done, the user should be able to access files as expected.

Women in IT: How deep is the bench?
IT has come a long way in its attitudes toward women, but there's still a long way to go.
Tracy Mayor (Computerworld (US)) 19 November, 2012 11:20
Ursula Burns at Xerox. Ellen Kullman at DuPont. Ginni Rometty at IBM. And most famously, Marissa Mayer at Yahoo, with a baby on board and a Twitterstream in tow.
Each time a female engineer takes the helm at a prominent technology company, the industry breathes a sigh of relief and pats itself on the back. See? Self-proclaimed "girl geeks" like Mayer really can survive and thrive in IT and research.
Add to that the fact that more female CIOs than ever are leading the tech charge at Fortune 500 companies like Exxon Mobil, Boeing, Dell, Walmart, Bank of America, Xerox and GE, and it's easy to conclude that change really has come to one of the last male-dominated boxes on the corporate org chart.
Or maybe not. According to data from the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2011 women made up 57% of the country's professional workforce but held just 25% of the jobs in professional computing occupations. And those Fortune 500 female CIOs? They still account for just 12% of the total, according to data from Boardroom Insider.
The persistently lopsided male-to-female ratios distress pioneering women like Nora Denzel, a former senior vice president at Intuit and Hewlett-Packard who graduated with a B.S. in computer science in 1984.
At the time, Denzel had no idea that the charge she was leading would wither behind her. "In the early '80s, the whole space thing was going on, PCs had just come out, the occupational projections were saying there was going to be such a shortage of talent," she recounts. "I wouldn't go as far as saying computer science was sexy, but there was that sense that the sky was the limit."
Should corporations care if their IT workforce lacks women? Beyond check-the-box feel-goodism, is there any ROI in dedicating resources to cultivate, recruit, mentor and promote women in technical roles?
Absolutely, says Sophie Vandebroek, CTO at Xerox, which also has a female CEO and a female CIO. Female-friendly policies give an organization access to the full range of talent available in the marketplace. "It's hard enough finding people who meet our standards -- exceptional Ph.D.s and engineers, especially U.S. citizens," she says. "Without a diverse organization, we're not going to be able to attract the best person for the job."
In addition to her CTO role, Vandebroek is president of the Xerox Innovation Group, which oversees Xerox's research centers in Europe, Asia, Canada and the U.S., including the storied Palo Alto Research Center (PARC).
"We have no problem hiring excellent people at PARC," she says with a laugh, "but how do we convince talented engineers to move to our Rochester, N.Y., facility?" Xerox's diversity initiatives are a key recruiting tool. "Nobody wants to be the only woman, or the only Hispanic, or young person, or the one gay person. They want to see others who look and act like them in the workplace."
(Article continues on next page)
Why hire women in IT? Computerworld editor Tracy Mayor interviews Xerox CTO Sophie Vandebroek about the ROI of a diverse workforce and its benefits to the bottom line.
Beyond making it easier to recruit other women, adding women to engineering and design teams makes those teams better able to address the needs of Xerox's customer base, which worldwide includes more women than men. Just one example: Women are more likely to be users of the company's multifunction office devices, says Vandebroek.
Overall, heterogeneous workgroups are more innovative, creative and productive than "just a bunch of people all thinking the same way" -- a crucial concern for organizations like Xerox, where innovation has a direct impact on the bottom line, says Vandebroek.
Because her company has for many years sponsored large and active caucuses that support women at Xerox, as well as subgroups for technical women and women of color, among other minorities, Vandebroek feels she does have a deep bench from which to promote future female talent. (For other likely candidates, see the companies with the highest percentages of women on Computerworld's 2012 list of 100 Best Places To Work in IT.)
I just led a panel on how to become a developer. If more than five people in the room were women, I'd be surprised. Debbie Madden, Cyrus Innovation
But that's not the case at every organisation, she says -- and that's an assessment shared by a number of young, midcareer and executive-level tech women. Their general takeaway: IT has come a long way in its attitudes toward women, but there's still a long way to go.
Midcareer retention
As someone who has been recruiting developers and other tech employees in the New York area for the past 17 years, Debbie Madden counts herself among the ranks of senior technical women who are dismayed by the glacial pace of change.
"I just led a panel on how to become a developer. There were 150 people in the room, and if more than five of them were women, I'd be surprised," says Madden, executive vice president at software developer Cyrus Innovation. "When I was majoring in engineering, there was a lot of hope that women were finally starting to take on more of these STEM degrees. People were very hopeful, but I'm not seeing that now."
Madden worries that women might be taking themselves out of the mix early on in the game over work-life concerns. "One big problem is retention," she says. "Many women that I know, even when they're in their 20s, they choose careers that are going to allow them to have children. But when you're a developer working on a project, you need to be there five long days a week."
The up-all-night "brogrammer" culture at some startups doesn't help, she says. "No one's intentionally preventing female engineers from working at those companies; it's just an overall culture that's not appealing to a lot of women."
Footsteps to follow
Having come up through the ranks when IT was not particularly tuned in to family concerns, Marina Lubinsky, senior vice president and CIO at hotelier Oakwood Worldwide, likes to keep an eye out for employees who may be in need of support with work-life challenges. Her concern stems directly from her own experiences in the early 1990s.
"I was with Arthur Andersen when I started a family. At that time, you were either on or off the track." -- Marina Lubinsky, Oakwood Worldwide
"I was in Europe with Arthur Andersen, which is now Accenture, when I started a family -- twin boys," Lubinsky relates. "At that time, you were either on the track or off the track. The company was closed off on what to do with me, and I was pretty much closed off to any alternatives as well."
Lubinsky left, and worked at Disney and AIG before landing at Oakwood, where in 2009, she became the first female on its executive committee. "Now it's 50-50," she says. "Three of us are women."
As for the women in her organization, Lubinsky says, "We have conversations: 'How did you get where you are?' 'What struggles did you go through?' For 20 years now, I've juggled. I've been through it all."
Several years ago, when Joanna Tang, a systems architect at Oakwood, was thinking of resigning to spend more time with her two young children, Lubinsky offered her the opportunity to work from home.
"After I had my second child, I was feeling the need to be at home more," says Tang. "Marina was very supportive. She encouraged me to stay, and gave me the option to choose my time in the office." Having a manager who'd been through the same dilemmas helped. "I did think, well, if it worked out for [Lubinsky], it can work out for me," she says.

Jennifer Klopotoski, a Windows systems administrator team lead, has had few female role models in her education and career, but she feels well supported by her company, Ebsco Publishing, an Ipswich, Mass., supplier of databases and e-books.
In a computer science class at Boston's Northeastern University, she recalls being the only woman in a class of 30. "But I wasn't intimidated by that," she says. "I used it to my advantage to build on my strengths."
Klopotoski is one of three females in a 35-member department, and has no women directly up the ladder from her. But early on, she had a good male mentor who recognized her ambition. "I am definitely in a distinct minority, but I'm comfortable with that; it's part of my personality," she says. "I feel the doors are open to me at Ebsco. If you want to get ahead, you'll get there eventually."
It's difficult [having kids] in the tech field -- you can't just drop what you're doing at 3 o'clock if something is broken. Jennifer Klopotoski, Ebsco Publishing
Her current roadblock is the work-life balance that many parents with young children struggle with. Klopotoski and her husband, a network manager at a different company, can sometimes find themselves debating over whose network crisis is more important as they figure out which parent can leave work to pick up their two kids, ages 4 and 18 months. "It's difficult in the tech field -- you can't just drop what you're doing at 3 o'clock if something is broken."
It's not lost on her that Yahoo's Mayer made it to the top before starting a family. "Having kids and now wanting to advance, it's a reverse kind of climb," Klopotoski acknowledges. "Am I going to be able to attain what I want? Maybe, but it's going to take five or 10 years."
Do shifting skill sets favor women?
Multiple nonprofits have sprung up, many sponsored by tech corporations, to expose high school girls to programming, app development and more. The list includes The Technovation Challenge sponsored by nonprofit Iridescent, DigiGirlz classes from Microsoft, and Girls Who Code, backed by Google, eBay, General Electric and Twitter. The hope is that these efforts will result in more women studying science, technology, engineering and math -- the so-called STEM fields -- in college and graduate school.
In the meantime, there are indications that the shifting nature of high-tech employment may be working in favor of women.
As Denzel, who first made her mark in storage and later in the burgeoning field of big data, notes wryly, "The closer you are to the processor, the more male-dominated this already male-dominated field becomes."
In contrast, the industry shift away from nuts and bolts and toward hybrid skill sets -- including higher-level analytics, process and project management, and user-centric social and mobile computing -- could open up opportunities for women to move laterally into tech departments from other specialties.
Guy-centric classrooms
A look at the supply chain for IT professionals -- high schools, colleges, universities and graduate schools -- suggests that the gap between top-placed female IT professionals and those coming up the ranks isn't likely to close anytime soon.
That's according to an analysis of educational data from various sources by The National Center for Women & Information Technology. Among other things, the group found that, in 2011, a majority (56%) of the students who took Advanced Placement tests were female, as were 46% of those who took the AP calculus test, but women accounted for just 19% of those who took the AP computer science exam.
Those ratios hold true in college: 57% of students earning an undergraduate degree in 2010 were women, but women made up only 18% of those majoring in computer and information sciences. That's not a one-year blip: The NCWIT found that there was a 79% drop in the number of first-year undergraduate women interested in majoring in computer science between 2000 and 2011.
"If we could say to girls, 'You're going to try this out,' they might discover they really love programming." -- Sara Edwards, Asante Health System
Sara Edwards, an applications analyst at Asante Health System in Medford, Ore., who initially crossed over to IT via a clerical job in healthcare, believes the solution lies in changing how computer science is presented to female students in high school and college.
At her high school, only students who excelled in math, specifically calculus, were encouraged to sign up for the one programming class, which was an elective. "Computer science programs -- all STEM classes, I think -- need to be mandatory, not electives. If we could say to girls, 'You're going to try this out,' and get good teachers that make it fun for them, they might discover they really love programming," Edwards says. "You don't know what you're going to love until you do it."
Edwards is currently a senior pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer information science at Southern Oregon University. She says there are "never more than four or five" women in the classroom. What female professors she does have tend to be on the business side of the discipline; with one exception, the instructors who teach programming are all male. "They're not anti-female, they're very nice, and they'll help you if you need it," Edwards says. "But I do see a need in computer science for more women. We could use some mentoring."
That's how it worked for Kathleen Healy-Collier, who holds bachelor's and master's degrees in healthcare and is preparing the oral defense of her Ph.D. thesis in health administration at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Healy-Collier is the administrative director -- essentially, the IT director -- at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, which is part of a five-hospital coalition in Memphis. She says that she sees more and more women in healthcare making moves like hers.
"I've been in the industry for 18 years, and when I started out, it was totally male-dominated," says Healy-Collier. "If you go back even further, 30 years, healthcare systems were all 'man's work': in the back room, with paper-based records." The only integrated data systems tended to be financial or production tools, which appealed to a narrow audience. It's no surprise the CIO or IT director role went to a traditional IS or MIS graduate, most often a male.
I've been in the [healthcare] industry for 18 years, and when I started out, it was totally male-dominated. Kathleen Healy-Collier, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital
Now, healthcare is undergoing a massive shift, and healthcare IT systems are changing as well. "Organizations discovered that you can't just put IT on top of medicine; you need an understanding of the underlying critical workflow," Healy-Collier says. More often than not, the people with that clinical background are females.
"Administrators, executives, doctors and nurses -- they are able to connect the dots for more technical people," says Healy-Collier. And they enjoy the work and are drawn to it in the way that wouldn't be true with a back-office IT function, she says. "Clinicians tend to be the ones who understand those systems best but also to be the ones genuinely interested in that kind of interactivity and connectivity."
Xerox's Zahra Langford is one tech employee who enthusiastically embraces the concept of hybrid skill sets. Praised by Vandebroek (her boss's boss) as "an amazing, amazing woman," Langford started out as a theater major and then became interested in set design, which led her to Web design. She did OK for herself freelancing in Silicon Valley until the tech crash of 2002.
At that point, she went back to school "to try and get technical credentials for what I was kind of doing already," she says. She earned an MSI in human-computer interaction from the University of Michigan in 2005 and went to work for Xerox, where she had interned. An interaction designer, she is in her third post at Xerox.
One thing caucus groups do provide is a cross-company network. If you want to be a VP, you need exposure to different parts of the organization. Zahra Langford, Xerox
African-American and openly gay, Langford is a minority within a minority within a minority who on the face of it might seem an odd fit on Xerox's Rochester, N.Y., campus. But the company's range of affinity groups have made her and her partner feel welcome, she says -- and they've helped her develop professionally.
"One thing the caucus groups do provide is a cross-company network," Langford explains. "If you want to be a VP, you need exposure to different parts of the organization, and Xerox is so large, if you just hang out in your own department, you're not going to move forward in a constructive way."
Mentoring from women at the executive level -- Vandebroek, in particular -- makes a difference as well, Langford says. "I had access to Sophie even as an intern. She was very involved in connecting with people and asking them to consider Xerox for the long term. She helped me realize this place is pretty special."
Glass ceiling or sticky floor?
Tina Rourk, CIO of Wyndham Vacation Ownership, oversees about 300 employees and estimates that about 30% of her staff, including two of her four direct reports, are women. Rourk sees strong opportunity for the women, particularly in hospitality, long a female-friendly field.
But at the same time, she shies away from putting too much emphasis on gender, noting that her first priority is always to hire the best candidate for a position. Rourk says that worked for her coming up in the field and she would hope it works for the women coming behind her.
"I knew IT was male-dominated from the outset. That didn't change the decisions that I made," Rourk says. "You have to build relationships -- that's my responsibility, whether it's a male or female colleague."
If anything, Rourk is concerned that women working in the male-dominated environment of IT might unintentionally be backing off when they should be pushing ahead. "Is it the glass ceiling or the sticky floor that's the problem?" she asks rhetorically. "You need to make sure others know what you want; you need to raise your hand for further opportunities. I had to learn to do that."

In the end, that's the message that may resonate most deeply with the newest generation of women in high tech, people like 29-year-old Laura Beth Denker, a senior software engineer who has been in the minority ever since her days at the Rochester Institute of Technology -- but who seemingly pays it no nevermind.
True, Denker works at Etsy, the online marketplace for handmade goods, which skews heavily female and sponsors hacker grants for women interested in programming. But she politely turns her nose up at talk of soft skills or future-forward specialties like communication or business analytics. She is pure programmer and proud of it: Her LinkedIn skill set for Etsy consists of a string of nouns like Apache, Chef, Cobbler, Ganglia, Gearman, Graphite, LDAP, Nagios, PEAR, PECL, Postfix, Racktables, RPM and Yum.
Denker also shrugs off any suggestion that she is a next-gen superstar -- she insists her previous employer, Google, plucked her resume out of a pile from Monster.com.
I wouldn't want anyone looking at me as a female engineer, because I'm an engineer, period. Laura Beth Denker, Etsy
She has studied and worked in male-dominated organizations her whole life -- she estimates her current workgroup's male-to-female ratio is 8-to-1 -- but when asked about future opportunities, she turns the question on its ear.
"It's not really, 'Can I get a job at this company?' -- it's 'Why would I want to work there?' " she explains. "You have to think about yourself and go where you feel comfortable. If people want to be brogrammers or whatever, fine, but they're missing out on more than half the universe."
Despite the persistent lack of gender parity in IT, younger women have managed to absorb a kind of post-gender mindset that anticipates the tech future before it happens.
"I wouldn't want anyone looking at me as a female engineer, because I'm an engineer, period," says Denker. "I've never had a manager, man or woman, who's looked at me as just a female, which is a good thing. My work speaks for me, so look at my work."

Q: SQLITE database locked during transaction I have been trying to figure this out for days now but I cannot figure out what is going on. In my app I want to be able to delete an item, and related items from a tableView. So when the delete button in the TableView is pushed the following method is called.
- (BOOL) deleteDuik:(MOODuik *) duik
{
    int diveid = [duik duikId];
    NSLog(@"Begin Delete");
    sqlite3 *db = [self openDatabase];

    sqlite3_stmt * deleteStmt = nil;

    BOOL succes = TRUE;

    @try{
        if (db != NULL) {
            sqlite3_exec(db, "BEGIN TRANSACTION", 0, 0, 0);

            //NSString *sqlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"delete from duik where duikid = %d", diveid];

            const char *sql = "delete from duik where duikid = ?";
            if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, sql, -1, &deleteStmt, NULL) == SQLITE_OK)
            {

                sqlite3_bind_int(deleteStmt, 1, diveid);

                sqlite3_step(deleteStmt);
                sqlite3_finalize(deleteStmt);

                deleteStmt = nil;

                sql = "delete from waarneming where duikid = ?";

                if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, sql, -1, &deleteStmt, NULL) == SQLITE_OK)
                {
                    sqlite3_bind_int(deleteStmt, 1, diveid);

                    sqlite3_step(deleteStmt);
                    sqlite3_finalize(deleteStmt);
                }

            }

        } else
        {
            NSLog(@"Failed to connect to db");
            succes = FALSE;
        }

        if(succes && ( [duik backendid] == 0 ||  [self deleteDuikServerSide:[duik backendid]]))
        {
            NSLog(@"End Delete");
            if(sqlite3_exec(db, "COMMIT TRANSACTION", 0, 0, 0) !=SQLITE_OK) NSLog(@"SQL Error: %s",sqlite3_errmsg(db));
        } else{
            NSLog(@"Failed to delete remote copy");
            sqlite3_exec(db, "ROLLBACK TRANSACTION", 0, 0, 0);
            succes = false;
        }

    } @catch (NSException *e) {
        NSLog(@"Failed to delete: %@", [e description]);
        sqlite3_exec(db, "ROLLBACK TRANSACTION", 0, 0, 0);
    } @finally {

        @try {
            sqlite3_finalize(deleteStmt);
            sqlite3_close(db);

        }
        @catch (NSException *exception) {
            //REally nothing to do here
        }
        sqlite3_close(db);
    }

    return succes;
}

When I try to run this, it keeps telling me the database is locked, yet I have no idea why it is locked. I have checked to see if other actions require the DB at the same time but I cannot find any. Also, if I add a row from the same tableView, I use the same construction with a transaction and that one DOES work. I have tried everything I could come up with, rewritten this chunk of code at least 10 times but so far no luck.
Is there anyone who can tell me what I am doing wrong here?

Caf construction upcoming
By Jonathan Meilaender
The "Forward, Always Forward" comprehensive fundraising campaign that produced a new library will next make its presence felt with a markedly redesigned dining space. The cafeteria is set for a major expansion and renovation, slated for completion by the end of Summer 2021, according to Mike Hustava, senior director of Marketing and Communications, and David Hollenbaugh, vice president of Institutional Advancement.
Hustava and Hollenbaugh provided a joint statement explaining that the renovations will officially fall under the "Student Life and Hospitality Hub Project."
A conceptual drawing of the expanded dining area (Source: Saint Vincent)
The project is focused on the renovation and expansion of the current dining space and will also add new meeting and gathering spaces, they wrote. There will be some new construction, but the majority of this project will focus on renovations and enhancements, which include significant upgrades to the kitchen equipment, dining areas, mechanical systems, and HVAC, which is heating, ventilation and air conditioning.
The cafeteria is need of an update, they wrote, because it hasn't been renovated in a long time.
"Through our engineering study, we became aware of upgrades to our mechanical systems that would benefit the college for the long-term future and would also correspond with the construction of this project," Hustava and Hollenbaugh wrote.
Kitchen equipment and mechanisms were particularly in need of improvement.
Conceptual drawings show an additional, high-ceilinged dining space on the window side of the basilica that faces the monastery. This new structure will be connected to the current dining hall. However, the new building, though connected, is not part of the current cafeteria. Instead, it's a second cafeteria, or "hospitality space," that is intended for use by the seminary and for events, conferences and guests, Hollenbaugh and Hustava explained.

"With the many guests who come to campus all throughout the year, this space will serve many different groups in the spirit of hospitality, which, of course, is one of the Benedictine hallmarks," they wrote.
The number of visitors isn't small. In fact, according to a study by the Pennsylvania Economy League of Greater Pittsburgh, Saint Vincent hosts over 294,000 visitors a year, Hustava and Hollenbaugh wrote.
The renovations will decrease congestion, not just by funneling guests and events into the new space, but also by expanding seating in the existing cafeteria, Hustava and Hollenbaugh wrote. (Source: Matthew Wojtechko)
The extra space will be especially helpful when the Steelers hold training camp.
"The Steelers will utilize this space, as they have used our cafeteria and dining areas since they began holding their training camp at Saint Vincent in 1966," they wrote. "The construction and renovation will allow for more flexibility for other guests and groups, even while training camp is being held."
The renovations will decrease congestion, not just by funneling guests and events into the new space, but also by expanding seating in the existing cafeteria, they wrote.
The timetable for renovations will consist of two phases: Phase I will start this April and proceed until the end of the summer, while Phase II will occupy the same time slot next year. Though building in April means construction before the end of the semester, Hustava and Hollenbaugh are hopeful that any disruption would be minimal.
"The architects and construction manager are working diligently to minimize the impact of the project on daily life," they wrote.

While it's being funded under the "Forward, Always Forward" campaign, various donors, including the state of Pennsylvania, have funded this building specifically, Hustava and Hollenbaugh wrote.
One student, junior accounting major Ian Boland, is hopeful this renovation will bring substantial improvements, particularly through more convenient seating arrangements.
"I wish there were some walls, some smaller rooms," he said.
That way, Boland explained, students could enjoy more privacy if they're in a smaller group or want to sit down to work.
"The tables are too large," he said. "If you want to sit down with your friends, you have to take a much bigger table than you need and practically shout to be heard."
Boland said he also thinks it would be good to connect the overflow dining rooms to the main dining area.

My husband is a very picky eater. There are only certain foods that he really likes. Unlike my kids they are more easy to please, they will try any dishes even if they saw it for the first time. I have this recipe that i stumble online and i want to try at home. I got intrigued in the recipe's name because it's called Bow Ties.
Here's the recipe in case you want to try it as well.
Lay out a wrapper so that the longer (5 1/2 inch) sides are on the top and bottom, and the shorter (4 1/2 inch) sides on the left and right. Cut each egg roll wrapper from top to bottom into 4 equal pieces.
Using a paring knife, cut a 1/2 inch slit in the center of each piece. Using 2 pieces, one laid on top of the other, make a knot like a bow tie. (Fold one end of the piece on top and thread it through the slit. Turn over, fold, and thread through the other way. Open the folded ends before deep-frying).
Heat wok and add oil. Deep-fry the bow ties until golden brown, about 5 at a time. Drain on paper towels or a tempura rack if you have one.
Boil the syrup ingredients in a pot on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Dip the bow ties into the boiling syrup (if the syrup isn't boiling the bow ties will be too sweet), and drain well. Set aside to harden. Serve cold. (The bow ties can be stored in an air-tight container).
Children will love this sweet treat. For a more "adult friendly" version, prepare and deep-fry the bow ties, then lightly dust with icing sugar.

When Joe returns with his wife and two young children to the peaceful mountain town of Colony, West Virginia, he doesn't expect to find the girl who disappeared when he was a boy.
But she remembers Joe and her other friends who left her behind in a deep well within a mysterious barn.
Now, She's Out for Blood...
"Clegg's stories can chill the spine so effectively that the reader should keep paramedics on standby."-- Dean Koontz, NY Times Bestselling Author.
Is she a vampire?
Or something more demonic...
Whatever's lurking in the old mines under the town has been disturbed by Joe's return. Joe did something when he was a boy – something that stopped the terror and evil from erupting.
But now, a creature living in darkness wants out.
It's going to use the children of Colony to exact its revenge...
Its hour has come round at last – the Children's Hour…
"Douglas Clegg knows exactly what scares us, and he knows how to twist those fears into hair-raising chills..." -- Tess Gerritsen, New York Times Bestselling Author.

Join us for a "In the Field" presentation by Jane and Randy Conn of ES Green & Company. Blower door tests are performed to evaluate the amount of outside air leakage into the home and these tests are now required by the building department to receive a certificate of occupancy for new homes. In this presentation, we will go over the code requirements related, cover some common items that will cause a blower door test failure and actually see the blower door test in action. If you have never seen a blower door test or it has been a while since you last saw one, now is your chance. The Green Council Meeting will be held at the latest Kessler Construction Home in the Southern Oaks Sub Division, which is just a few minutes away from the TBA Office. Lunch will be served.

In the Cradle Coast Region, Health Care and Social Assistance is the largest employer, generating 6,478 local jobs in 2017/18.
Employment (total) is the most accurate and up to date measure of the total number of people employed in the Cradle Coast Region. The statistics are modelled by NIEIR to correct for the known undercount of jobs recorded in the Census. They estimate the total number of persons employed in an industry sector (full-time and part-time) in Cradle Coast Region regardless of where they live. They are updated annually.
By comparing the number of jobs in each industry sector to a regional benchmark, you can clearly see the structure of Cradle Coast Region's economy. This can be done by directly comparing the area to its benchmark, or by using a location quotient to look at the relative size of industries.
Estimated total employment by industry should not be considered as a "Full-Time Equivalent" measure as different industries will have different ratios of part-time and full time employees. Full-time employment by industry statistics are also available.
To see how employment is distributed across the area, see the Employment locations section and to see where people come from to work in these industries, these data should be viewed in conjunction with Workers place of residence by industry data.
More granular sub-categories for each industry sector are available in the Employment by industry (Census) counts. While Census figures undercount employment they do provide a more detailed picture of the specific industries operating in the area.
NOTE: Detailed notes about how the figures are derived can be found in the specific topic notes section.
In combination these three industries accounted for 17,164 people in total or 33.8% of the local workers.
In comparison, Tasmania employed 14.2% in Health Care and Social Assistance; 11.0% in Retail Trade; and 9.3% in Construction.
The number of local workers in the Cradle Coast Region increased by 1,115 between 2012/13 and 2017/18.
