Colton Ford, občanským jménem Glenn Soukesian (* 12. říjen 1962 Pasadena, Kalifornie, USA) je tenorový zpěvák, model a herec, dříve účinkující i v gay pornografii. V 80. letech vystupoval jako zpěvák i s uměleckým jménem Glenn Street.

Biografie
Narodil se v kalifornské Pasadeně a vyrůstal ve městě Mission Viejo. Má arménské, italské a podle vlastních slov i švédské, francouzské a anglické předky.

Na jaře 2007 se přestěhoval z Los Angeles do New Yorku.

Hudební začátky
V dětství hrál na housle a na kytaru. Později při škole zpíval a cappella v jazzovém kvartetu. V polovině 80. let krátce spolupracoval s produkční společností Jon St. Jamese On The Spot Records. V roce 1988 u ní pod pseudonymem Glenn Street vydal single Hardline. Dalšímu vydanému singlu se však příliš nedařilo a koncem 80. let Ford podepsal smlouvu se společností Mide Productions Michaela O'Hary a Denise Richové. V 90. letech se měl původně stát hlavním vokalistou na chystaném druhém albu DJe Frankieho Knucklese Welcome to the Real World, spory ve společnosti Virgin Records však vedly k tomu, že jeho místo zaujala zpěvačka Adeva. Asi o čtyři roky později mu táž spoležnost nabídla vydání vlastního sólového alba, avšak i z toho sešlo. Mezitím měl rozjednanou spolupráci i se společností Third Stone, která však ještě před vydáním alba zkrachovala.

Účinkování v pornografii
Než začal účinkovat v gay pornu, měl již zkušenosti s pózováním pro akty fotografa Jeffa Palmera. V pornografii se ocitl na podzim 2001 ve svých 39 letech, a to díky svému tehdejšímu partnerovi, jímž byl pornoherec Blake Harper. V té době Ford zažíval méně úspěšné období své hudební kariéry a podle jeho vlastních slov nastala situace, kdy Harperovi nemohl dorazit partner pro natáčení scény, a tak požádal Forda.

Natáčení se věnoval jen asi 10 měsíců a pořídil celkem 12 videí. Přesto zaznamenal úspěch, k němuž později připisoval zásluhu právě svému partnerovi a také režisérské osobnosti Chi Chi LaRue.

V rozhovoru pro Chicago Pride v roce 2007 uvedl, že je samozřejmě účinkování v pornografii součástí jeho (životního) příběhu a ničím, za co by se styděl. I pro následnou hudební kariéru mu přineslo určité výhody, stejně jako nějaké překážky.

Zároveň s Coltonem Fordem skončil v pornografii i jeho partner Blake Harper. Fordův návrat od pornografie zpět k pěvecké dráze zachytil dokumentární film Naked Fame. Vznik dokumentu inicioval režisér a producent Christopher Long z produkční společnosti Hard Sell Productions a natáčení probíhalo od srpna 2002 asi 8 či 9 měsíců. Forda na cestě doprovázel jeho manažer Kyle Neven, známý rovněž z gay pornografie pod jménem Casey Jordan. Na konci filmu s ním však Ford spolupráci ukončil. Výsledný film byl promítán na řadě amerických LGBT filmových festivalů, kinopremiéru si odbyl 18. února 2005 v Los Angeles, v srpnu jej vydala na DVD společnost TLA Releasing a na podzim 2007 ho vysílala televize Here!

I po skončení pornografické kariéry zůstal věrný modelingu a např. ještě v listopadu 2008 vyšla kniha fotografií Joea Oppedisana Uncensored i se snímky Coltona Forda.

V roce 2003 byl rovněž nominován spolu s Blakem Harperem na cenu GayVN v kategorii Nejlepší sexuální scéna za film Prowl 3: Genuine Leather studia MSR Videos. O rok později získal nominaci na stejnou cenu v kategorii Nejlepší skupinový sex, a to za společnou scénu s Matthewem Rushem, Blakem Harperem, Joem Fosterem, Chadem Huntem, Chrisem Steelem, Bretem Wolfem, Peterem Raegem, Codym Wolfem, Jakem Marshallem, Jimem Sladem a Antoniem Majorsem ve filmu Aftershock: Part 2 společnosti Mustang Studios.

Návrat k hudbě
Když si v letech 2001–2002 "odskočil" ke kariéře pornoherce, v následujícím roce se opět vrátil k hudbě vydáním singlu Everything, jehož vznik sledoval i dokumentární film Naked Fame. Zaměřil se nyní na kariéru písničkáře na poli klubové, taneční, housové hudby. Sám uváděl, že ho více k popu nasměrovalo už i setkání s Madonnou při natáčení filmu Příští správná věc.

Single Everything vyšel v dubnu 2003 u vydavatelství Nervous Records (a později také na labelové kompilaci). V únoru 2004 následoval další single, jímž byla coververze písně Stevieho Wondera nahraná jako duet se zpěvačkou Pepper MaShay pod názvem Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours) a vydaná značkou Centaur Records.

V roce 2007 vydal své první album Tug of War obsahující R&B a taneční písně, na jejichž psaní se podílel s DJem Quentinem Harrisem. První zveřejněná píseň z alba, The Way You Love Me, vyšla formou singlu v létě 2007 na samostatném singlu s různými remixy včetně toho, který použil režisér Michael Lucas ve svém pornografickém filmu La Dolce Vita, ohodnoceném cenou GayVN Award 2007 za nejlepší hudbu.

V roce 2008 účinkoval ve videoklipu Cyndi Lauper k písni Into the Nightlife, natočeném v newyorském baru Splash a vyjel i na turné True Colors Tour se Cyndi Lauper jako hlavní účinkující.

V září 2009 vydal – opět ve spolupráci s Quentinem Harrisem – druhé album Under the Covers, s coververzemi skladeb od R.E.M. (Losing My Religion), Nirvany (Lithium), Babyface (It's No Crime), Britney Spears, Alicie Keysové a dalších. Téhož roku (dle jiných zdrojů až v roce 2011) vydal i dva samostatné singly, Let Me Live Again a The Music Always Gets You Back.

S fotografem Joem Oppedisanem spolupracoval na obalech k albům i videoklipech ke svým písním. Oppedisano byl ku příkladu v roce 2007 uměleckým vedoucím při tvorbě klipu The Way You Love Me (2007, režie: Tony Sellari) a režíroval klip That's Me.

V listopadu 2011 účinkoval v mimobroadwayské produkci muzikálu Little House on the Ferry, gay milostném příběhu z Fire Islandu, v němž ztvárnil roli Maxe.

V roce 2013 Ford vydal třetí album The Way I Am, původně plánované už na jaro 2012.

Herectví
Podle vlastního vyjádření se na střední i vysoké škole hodně věnoval divadlu. Hrál například v muzikálech South Pacific a The Crucible.

Po dokumentu Naked Fame uvažovali tvůrci seriálu Dante's Cove o jeho obsazení do drobné role. Nakonec jej oslovil šéf castingu pro spin-off tohoto seriálu s názvem The Lair, který se vysílal od června 2007. Ztvránil v něm úlohu heterosexuálně vystupujícího gay šerifa Trouta, který je na konci první seriálové řady téměř smrtelně postřelen a v úvodu druhé řady se vrací slepý.

Na svou pornografickou minulost navázal malou rolí v komediálním filmu Another Gay Movie 2: divoká jízda (Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild!, 2008), kde si zahrál eskorta jménem Butch Hunk, jehož si přivolá dvojice hlavních postav k sexu ve třech. Už předtím se ale mihnul i ve filmech Příští správná věc (2000, uváděn jako Glenn Sakazian), Circuit (2001) či HellBent (2004).

Girls Basketball: Jennings preparing Winslow for playoff push
02/22/2020, 3:00pm EST
By Joe Tansey, SJSD
Senior Adriyana Jennings has developed as a leader for the Eagles.
VOORHEES --- Winslow senior Adriyana Jennings relishes the challenge of going head-to-head with opponents on the blocks.
Jennings, the Eagles' leading scorer, welcomes the task because of her aggressive nature of play.
"I'm an aggressive player so I like being down low," Jennings said. "If I have to be at the top, I'll be at the top, but I like the blocks better.
"It's pretty easy to work down there depending on my positioning. Once I get my position set, it is on from there."
Not only is she one of the keys to Winslow's on-court success, she has developed into a leader that head coach Jason Handy relies on.
"Her leadership on the floor is impeccable and she's definitely an extension of the coaching staff at this point," Handy said. "She does everything we need her to do."
That was on display when Jennings scored four points in a row to fend off a run from Haddon Township and pull off a win over the perennial South Jersey Group 1 contender.
"Adriyana felt she had to do more," Handy said. "I told her she could, but it has to be under control and within the offense. Her getting those four points was exactly what we needed at the time."
The win over Haddon Township was one of many games the Eagles are using in preparation for their South Jersey Group 3 opener against Delsea.
'"Our motto right now is every game is your last game," Handy said. "We're in playoff mode at this point. We're playing every game as if its a playoff game."
"Honestly, using that game right there is big because Delsea is going to be the same way. Having the ability to play a team like Haddon Township, who is very well coached by Tommy Mulligan, definitely helps us moving forward."
As the extension of the coaching staff, Jennings knows exactly what Winslow needs to work on before embarking on the playoff journey.
"Every game from here on out is a playoff game," Jennings said. "If you want to win, play like you want to win. If you don't feel like you wanna win, it'll end up as a loss.
"Teamwork and keeping our head up and finding the open person. That's what we need to work on. We're not for self, but I feel as though if we move the ball around more than we dribble, we'll be more successful with scoring points as a unit.
"We know we have to play the first round of playoffs. Every game now we play them like we're going to play in the first round of the playoffs."

De Allershoffpolder of Allerhofspoder is een voormalig waterschap in de provincie Groningen.

Op 17 april 1832 kreeg Jan Gerrits Allershoff, van beroep steenbakker in Menkeweer, toestemming een kieft of kokermolentje te bouwen. Onduidelijk is waar deze heeft gestaan, omdat Menkeweer ten oosten van het Warffumermaar ligt, terwijl later in 1864 mr. A.R. van Roijen toestemming kreeg de molen te vergroten die van Allershoff was geweest. Deze molen lag in de Ranumermeeden, dus ten westen van het Warffumermaar.

Waterstaatkundig gezien ligt het gebied sinds 1995 binnen dat van het waterschap Noorderzijlvest.

University of Southampton BRECcIA researchers, Genevieve Agaba and Matt Kandel, were sponsored by Biotek Foundation to attend the UK-Africa Food Security Symposium on 11-12th September 2018 at the University of Cambridge. Panel sessions included discussions around how regional and international research partnerships can be designed to help tackle food insecurity in Africa. Another discussion point centred on how these partnerships can be leveraged to build capacity for research in tertiary education institutions.
Carol Ibe, Founder of Biotek Foundation, opening the Symposium. © Genevieve Agaba, September 2018.
Universities in Africa tend to be under-resourced for research and teaching, which undermines the quality of both of these activities/services. Curricula are heavily theory-based with not enough time or space allowed for practice with specialised equipment or application of specific research methods. Infrastructure needs to come to the fore in research capacity building, particularly if specific facilities are required. If the data can't be generated, this already limits what research can be carried out. Education underpins everything else and the quality of education systems in partner countries/institutes shouldn't be overlooked.
Not only is infrastructure lacking due to funding, but there is also a lack of in-country researchers who are suitably qualified. This has implications for mentorship of younger researchers. The African continent currently has 198 researchers per million people, according to The World Economic Forum (2017). The report mentions 20,000 professionals leaving Africa every year for high-income countries due to a lack of opportunity.
Building capacity in research requires patience and persistence. Long term partnerships and building trust is very important for projects. Environments need to be created where ideas thrive. Strengthening the capacity for innovation will be the foundation for transformation of agriculture in African countries.
African institutions often have to partner with UK/EU institutes in order to access funding, which can create an inherent power imbalance and can also force partnerships that wouldn't naturally happen (although the 'forcing' of partnerships could also be seen as a positive). It can be more balanced in terms of power relationships when institutions develop strategic priorities and plans without budgetary pressure.
Scientists need to be more embedded in public policy and industry to understand national priorities and enhance the uptake of evidence in these different spheres (which would lead to greater research impact).
We should move beyond a simple 'food security' paradigm in order to explicitly acknowledge the importance of nutritional dimensions as well, by using the term 'food and nutrition security'. It's not enough to use quantity of food or crop yields as indicators of food security, there are examples of people producing enough but selling off their main protein sources (e.g. milk, meat, beans) and eating 'belly fillers' such as maize meal.
Many useful insights were gained from attending the event that will help inform how BRECcIA moves forward with its own capacity building activities. We now need to move forward in gaining a greater understanding of what has happened in the past (what works well/what doesn't work well) and how to translate learning into action, all the while creating enabling environments for doing so. This includes ensuring that we develop a rigorous understanding of policymaker needs (on both national- and regional-levels in Africa) and how best to inform policy. Building on previous capacity building programmes in partner institutes and learning from other projects, BRECcIA will continue with its work of supporting a multidisciplinary learning environment for researchers to produce high quality research in the subject areas of food and water security.

Cut Minnesota's taxes by $900 million, Senate…
Cut Minnesota's taxes by $900 million, Senate Republicans say
By David Montgomery | Pioneer Press
More than half of the state's $1.65 billion surplus should go to a package of tax cuts, Senate Republicans proposed Thursday.
Their $900 million proposal would include breaks targeted at seniors, farmers, businesses and college students. Its biggest portion would be a permanent cut to the state's lowest tax bracket, which currently takes 5.35 percent of the first $25,390 in taxable income a single individual earns.
House Republicans will roll out their own package of tax cuts in the next few days. DFL Gov. Mark Dayton proposed his own $250 million collection of tax cuts earlier this year, and could potentially expand this on Friday. The three sides have to negotiate between their different priorities to produce a common state budget before June 1 or the state government will shut down.
"There are gobs of money pouring into the state coffers," said Sen. Roger Chamberlain, R-Lino Lakes and the chair of the Senate Taxes Committee. "It is time to give the money, and some relief, back to the workers in this state, the farmers, the small businesses."
WHAT SENATE REPUBLICANS WANT
Thursday's proposal includes only broad outlines, not specific details such as how much money each tax cut would cost or how it would be structured. Chamberlain said those details will be negotiated and revealed in coming weeks.
The outline unveiled Thursday proposes cuts in the following areas:
A reduction in the lowest income-tax bracket, "targeted at middle-income families making less than $135,000 per year." Chamberlain wouldn't explain Thursday how that targeting will happen.
Phasing out the tax on Social Security income for seniors, "benefiting middle-income seniors making less than $120,000 per year."
A tax credit for college graduates with student loans.
An exemption to state's business property tax for the first $100,000 of market value "for Main Street businesses," and an end to a provision of law that automatically increases that tax over time.
Property tax breaks for farmers who struggle to afford capital levies for school infrastructure.
Tax breaks for small businesses buying new equipment.
Changes to the state's estate tax to "allow farmers and families to hand down more money to the next generation."
The change in the lowest tax bracket, the Social Security tax change and the credit for student loan payments would make up between 50 percent and 60 percent of the total $900 million, Chamberlain estimated.
"We think we should be spending less and giving more back to the taxpayer," Gazelka said.
WHAT DEMOCRATS WANT
Dayton has proposed spending a smaller share of the state's budget on tax cuts: less than one-third of what Senate Republicans want. In place of those tax cuts, he would spend significant amounts on K-12 education, higher education, social services and technology.
On Thursday, Dayton said he was concerned that Republicans could harm the future budget by cutting taxes too much.
Minnesota sports betting proposal gives everyone 'a piece of the action,' GOP lawmaker says
Walz signs bill guaranteeing the right to an abortion and other reproductive care
MN state lawmakers urge slowdown in first committee hearing on proposed Fairview/Sanford merger
"I want to see how their numbers work," Dayton said. "I'm not going to walk out the door in January of 2018 leaving my successor the kind of deficit situation I encountered (in 2011)."
Dayton's proposed tax cuts includes $93 million for lower-income working individuals, $61 million to help families pay for child care and millions of dollars in aid to schools and local governments to try to pre-empt local tax increases.
The governor also wants some of the same things as Republicans, including breaks for college students and for farmers facing school tax increases.
"The governor and others will be happy to know that quite a bit has come in" from last year's bipartisan tax proposal, Chamberlain said.
Democrats have resisted proposals Republicans back such as phasing out taxes on Social Security income. Minnesota is one of a minority of states that doesn't exempt all Social Security income from taxes, though low-income Minnesotans are exempt. Democrats say it would cost too much money to eliminate this tax, while Republicans say it's wrong to tax seniors' retirement benefits.
House Republicans will soon unveil their own tax cut proposals, which could focus differently from the Senate Republicans.
Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka, R-Nisswa
On Friday, Dayton will update his budget proposal to account for new revenue projections.
Also on Friday, Senate Republicans will lay out the rest of their budget goals. Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka said some parts of the budget will see increases, while others will see proposals for cuts.
Once all sides have laid out their proposals, the House and Senate have to agree on how much to spend in different parts of the budget, then adjust the state's budget bills to fit those targets. After that will come fierce negotiations between Dayton and the Republican-controlled Legislature about how to shape a budget.

So many ooey, gooey, delicious things come in brown, and today we want to celebrate the tasty power of this color in fashion. The perfect shade of chocolate brown is a cool complement to other shades and even looks good on its own. Learn how you can add a taste of brown to your jewelry box as either the backbone of a design or in a supporting role.
Neutrals are appropriate for any occasion, although most people immediately opt for black, grey or white. Brown is a fun twist on the traditional neutral hue, and it enriches any other color it's paired with. Let it guide the feel of your design, helping build the overall look. This could be in the form of antique brass findings or an awesome chocolate focal. Next, layer on your colors! Beads in robin egg blue or pale pink are just a couple of ideas. In our Iris necklace design, we used a combination of brown and purple for a sweet and simple look. Mint green is another refreshing accent. Try a silk ribbon in this shade to complement a choco-pendant. Gold always looks nice with deep browns, too.
If your style is more colorful, use a soothing brown to help tie different elements together. Dangle some chocolate drops from your ears (like our chocolate glaze pavé beads) to complete a blue and white polka dot dress. Or, recreate the beauty in our Cosmopolitan Earrings for jewelry with just a lick of chocolate brown goodness. Wherever your imagination takes your fashion, add some tasteful brown tones for a truly sweet look!
Just for fun, we'll leave you with some extreme chocolate fashion. These are from the NYC Chocolate Fashion Show, where models ruled the runway in chocolate couture…yes, it's real chocolate. Enjoy!
What's your favorite way to wear chocolate?

Gwen Stefani: Just a Girl in Las Vegas.
California-born singer-songwriter kicks off her residency with crew of musicians, dancers, backup singers and signature costumes.
"It's the first night — it's going to be an epic night tonight!" shouted singer-songwriter Gwen Stefani, to her enthusiastic fans, aka Lambs, during the June 27 kick-off to her residency, Gwen Stefani: Just a Girl, at Zappos Theater in Planet Hollywood on the Las Vegas Strip.
After Spiderwebs a little later in the show, Fullerton-born and three-time Grammy Award winner Stefani continued, "This is Las Vegas — this is next level!" On grand opening night, Stefani and her crew of musicians, dancers and backup singers did everything in their power to make Just a Girl next level, and they succeeded.
When broken down, the newest celebrity music show to hit the Vegas Strip is best detailed in three categories — show, costumes and setlist.
Stefani, 48, sounded and looked great from start to finish, and she remained high-energy and engaged during her nearly two-hour show, disappearing for only a few minutes at a time for costume changes. The sets and lights are colorful and lively, and Just a Girl is a mostly upbeat affair, with slower-tempo songs — Simple Kind of Life, Used to Love You, Misery and Don't Speak — taking over for a respite two-thirds into the production.
There were several fun highlights on grand opening night: After Sunday Morning, Stefani welcomed onstage from the front area of Zappos Theater a lesbian couple who were wearing the T-shirts "She's My Gwen" and "She's My Blake." Before Cool, she brought three little Lambs, errr, girls onstage, hugged them, lauded them for their Harajuku outfits from Target, and posed with them for a photo. And theater ushers danced to Stefani's songs throughout the show.
American fashion designer Jeremy Scott created many of Stefani's costumes, which were in his signature creative, whimsical, colorful, sparkling and bedazzled style, via Custom Moschino. The show also featured fabulous creations by Versace, Marchesa Couture and The Blondes.
With Stefani being a fashion icon and entrepreneur (L.A.M.B., Harajuku Lovers), and her signature look — bleach blonde with bright red lips — being a throwback to Old Hollywood glamor, it was only fitting that Just a Girl launched with Hollaback Girl, a stage overrun by Old Las Vegas showgirls, with large feathers galore, and larger-than-life bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s.
Near the end of the opening night show and after performing the song Just a Girl, Stefani thanked Scott, as well as her boyfriend, country singer-songwriter Blake Shelton (get the earlier T-shirt reference now?), who was seated at a front-and-center VIP table at the end of the catwalk where he sang and danced along to Stefani's many hits from her days with No Doubt and as a solo artist. Stefani was wearing a sparkling and bedazzled cowgirl costume when she exclaimed she was performing in a dream performance for her beau.
Here is the 25-song setlist from Stefani's grand opening night, which is likely to change during the course of her Just a Girl residency.
Mario Lopez attended opening night of Gwen Stefani: Just a Girl in Las Vegas on June 27.
The grand opening night audience also included Raiders owner Mark Davis, Marc-Andre Fleury and Deryk Engelland of the Vegas Golden Knights, Extra TV host Mario Lopez, and America's Got Talent champion magician Mat Franco, who headlines at The Linq Hotel in Las Vegas.
Stefani's Just a Girl was announced April 10, and she was officially welcomed to the Las Vegas Strip with a ceremony outside Planet Hollywood three days later. She joins Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull, The Backstreet Boys and Lionel Richie as Zappos Theater headliners, and her shows have been announced through March 16, 2019.

The version 4 MST Radar data processing scheme is the latest version. V4.0 Cardinal data files should be used in preference to the v3 Cartesian data files described on this page.
An overview of the radar measurement technique and of the meanings of the data products are given here. The files contain altitude profiles (from approximately 2 - 20 km for the ST mode, and from approximately 58 - 96 km for the M mode, both at 150 m intervals) of the eastward, northward and upward components of the wind velocity and the following radar return parameters: vertical beam signal power, vertical beam spectral width, vertical beam beam-broadening corrected spectral width, and aspect sensitivity. The time separation between the profiles is typically a few minutes. A radar-derived tropopause altitude and sharpness is given for each set of profiles.
Availability Data processed by version-3 software are currently available from 20th June 2006 until the present. The entire archive will eventually be reprocessed. Please contact the NERC MST Radar Facility Project Scientist if you would like v3 data for earlier dates.

Transgender Florida Woman's Body Found in Her Burning Car
Detectives are investigating whether her gender identity was a motive for the slaying
Published September 15, 2019 • Updated on September 15, 2019 at 6:24 pm
Florida sheriff's deputies are investigating the slaying of a transgender woman whose body was found in her burning car.
NBC 2 News reports the Hendry County Sheriff's Office is investigating the Sept. 4 death of 23-year-old Bee Love Slater in Clewiston, Florida.
The Human Rights Campaign says Slater is at least the 18th transgender woman to be killed in 2019.
Capt. Susan Harrelle declined to tell the Palm Beach Post how Slater died, saying only the killer or a witness would know that.
She said detectives are investigating whether Slater's gender identity was a motive for the slaying.
Arlene Goldberg, a local LGBT advocate, told NBC 2 News she won't call it a hate crime until officials do. But she believes it's a strong possibility.
"It certainly could be a hate crime because there are many hate crimes around the country as it relates to the transgender community. Especially those of color," Goldberg said.

Deputies said they still are trying to find out who killed Bee Love and why.
"We can't say it's a hate crime yet because we don't know what the motive was. A hate crime is a little more than that. It's an enhancement charge," Harrelle said.

InfoQ interviewed Vasco and asked him to share his view on #NoEstimates and how people can make decisions in projects that deploy #NoEstimates. InfoQ also asked why people resist to #NoEstimates and how to deal with that. Vasco also explained how he found and got started with #NoEstimates.
InfoQ: Can you briefly share your view on #NoEstimates?
Duarte: Certainly. Many years ago, around 1999/2000, I was stuck in projects that, although they were mostly on time, they were painful to manage. We had difficult meetings, people were burn-out, we were constantly struggling to meet our deadlines, and near the end we were fighting the bugs to try to release the projects on time. In short, I knew there was a better way, and started experimenting to find that better way.
At first we started by experimenting with the requirements process. We worked with Vision document and Use Cases only, instead of the traditional requirements. To my surprise, and delight, the teams were happier, the projects delivered better results (more value), and it was much easier to make the tough decisions of what to remove from the scope, to be able to meet our deadlines. Meeting the deadlines was still a struggle, however.
The next step for us was very clear. Instead of estimating our Use Cases, we started managing them to meet certain internal deadlines. We had constant scope meetings, we tested much earlier, we invested in test automation and stopped estimating all together, we were just delivering value, in small increments and measuring our delivery velocity. Today we call this Agile - except we didn't use estimates at all. So, even before I knew about Agile, we were practicing something that is close to what we today call Scrum, without estimates. For me, #NoEstimates is about just that: deliver value, on time - and under budget.
Infoq: Can you explain how you managed your Use Cases to deliver in small increments?
Duarte: This is a great question: how can we deliver incrementally, even when it does not seem easy to do so? In fact, this is such an important question that I've started working on a guide to help the readers of my #NoEstimates book to do just that: find, in any user story or use case, a way to deliver that functionality incrementally.
What we did at that time was to constantly, and thoroughly review each Use Case with one question in mind: what can we leave off and still deliver value? We reviewed each Precondition, Actor, Guarantee, Scenario, etc. and asked: can we leave this off and still have value delivered? What made it easier (after many iterations) was to define a very clear priority for Actors (who to serve first, second, etc.) and to introduce the concept of the Demo, which we took into use when we adopted Scrum. One important point is that, thanks to Agile Software Development adoption the process of delivering incrementally has been made much easier.
InfoQ: Many people will argue that without an estimate we can't really compare options and make decisions in projects. How can you make decisions in projects with #NoEstimates?
Duarte: There are many types of decisions that are made in projects, every day. The type of decisions that benefit the most from #NoEstimates are the ones that have to do with existing constraints that are beyond the control of the project. In my early use of #NoEstimates we had a very concrete schedule constraint. The market we were selling our products in was not flexible at all regarding deadlines. We worked on consumer software products, and our biggest selling window was Christmas. There's no way that date will change, no matter how good your arguments are. We did not have the luxury of being late. Not even a few days.
For me #NoEstimates delivers especially in these situations, where time is non-negotiable. In order to meet this kind of deadlines we need to make 100's or even 1000's of decisions in a project. Without a clear and verifiable source of data to guide our decisions we would fail at meeting our Christmas deadlines. Estimates are neither clear nor verifiable (at least not until it is too late). Estimates are affected by all kinds of internal politics, and normal biases that affect our judgement. Before we started using #NoEstimates, the company where I worked had a track record of 62% average project delay, that's 62 days over schedule for every 100 day project. Simply unacceptable. With #NoEstimates we went down to a perfect track record of being on time because we were not estimating, but rather making decisions based on existing progress data that is available in any project.
InfoQ: Which progress data did you use, and how did you use it?
Duarte: For us, progress was Use Cases (and later Features or User Stories) delivered to a production-like environment. In fact, this is critical. If we finalize the development of a Use Case but don't deploy it, then we will find problems later on. Maybe they will be integration problems, or quality problems, or other types of problems, so it is critical that the progress be measured as Running Tested Stories (the term I currently use in my own work), i.e. Stories that are developed, tested, and running in a production-like environment.
This progress data informs our decisions by providing constantly (weekly or even daily in some projects) up-to-date information about what is completed, and what is left to be done.
By looking at this progress data, and forecasting the future based on this data we are constantly updating the timeline for the project with little or no cost, no need for long and boring estimation meetings when you collect progress data such as this.
InfoQ: I see people that resist to #NoEstimates. Do you know why this is happening? Any suggestions how people can deal with it?
InfoQ: Can you recommend some resources if people want to learn more about #NoEstimates?
Duarte: There are many people right now speaking, and writing about NoEstimates. The easiest is to go to YouTube and search for "NoEstimates", many videos will come up that will help you learn more about what #NoEstimates is all about. I've started writing a book on the topic as well, in which I try to help people that are already stuck in projects that are failing, and explain how they can turn those projects around with the help of #NoEstimates. The book is available for free (for a limited time) at NoEstimatesBook.com.
InfoQ: Do you think that any further developments are needed before #NoEstimates can be used?
Duarte: Yes, everyone should experiment and find the way in which #NoEstimates can help them. There isn't a single, universal definition for #NoEstimates, and I would expect the ideas to be incorporated by other methods, such as Scrum, Kanban, etc. What is important to me is that people experiment with the ideas, learn and share their insights. We are still at the start of the journey with #NoEstimates.
InfoQ: Where do you think that #NoEstimates will go, what will the future bring us?
Duarte: #NoEstimates is a conversation, started by a hashtag on twitter, that our industry needs to have. I get emails every week from people discovering these ideas and being excited about the possibility of finally having a thinking model that helps them deliver their projects on time, and without burning out on overtime and bad pizzas. We deserve a good quality of life in the software industry, that's what led me to discover #NoEstimates. The knowledge is out there, there's no way to hide it anymore. Now everyone can use it and benefit from it.
The book is available for free (for a limited time) at NoEstimatesBook.com.
It appears no longer to be available at the time of press.
"To receive the whole book for free, register in the site and you will get the first chapter as well as instructions on how to get the whole book for free.
If you don't want to register that is also ok. Email Vasco at vasco.duarte@oikosofy.com and you will receive a copy of the book in return."

Q: Why is lua's string pattern matching doing this? I have an external application which monitors CPU and GPU temperatures...
I am using Lua with the alien extension to grab these values (via GetWindowText) and to do some pattern matching on these values, effectively extracting the temperature digits out of the string, which by default shows up as something like CPU   67.875 °C...
But perhaps I have the wrong idea on how patterns work in LUA (since they don't appear to be exactly like regex)?
The pattern I am using is [%d]+[.%d+]* which should match any number between 0 and 100.0, correct?
Yet oddly enough, I am getting incredibly strange output when values reach around 56.5 degrees (see link).
Why is this happening?
And how can I extract the correct floating point values (as a string) between 0 and 100 in the format of XYY.ZZZ, where X is not optional, Y is optional, and . is optional unless Z exists?

A: You're seeing the effect of accumulated rounding errors because 0.16 cannot be precisely represented in floating point. The code below performs better:
local n = 0
while n < 10000 do
    local s = tostring(n/100)
    local t = s:match("[%d]+[.%d+]*")
    print(t)
    n = n + 16
end

Now, to your question, try the simpler pattern below:
s="CPU 67.875 °C"
print(s:match("CPU +(.-) +"))

With three weeks of September under our collective belts it was getting time for me to pull the trigger on my monthly dividend stock buy. As I always say, there is never a perfect time to buy. You just have to look at your portfolio, see what's missing or needs to be bulked up, look for good relative value and a safe yield and just go for it. Too often we try to "out think" the market as if we, or anyone else for that matter, has a clue as to what will happen in the near term. I'm perfectly content making my monthly buys knowing full well we'll see the market continue to rise for many more years or fall dramatically within days. As long as my passive income keeps rising on an annual basis it does not matter to me.
I have added to my taxable account 25.3835 shares at $31.52 for a total investment of $800.09 in Hormel Foods Corporation (HRL). With this recent purchase my taxable account holdings in HRL now totals 59.9895 shares with a market value of $1,903.47. I also hold 9.0 shares of HRL in my ROTH account with a market value of $285.57.
I have added to my taxable account 20.4250 shares at $39.17 for a total investment of $800.05 in Johnson Controls International plc (JCI). With this recent purchase my taxable account holdings in JCI now totals 115.4390 shares with a market value of $4,623.33.
Both of these recent buys were mentioned in my September stock considerations among other names that I continue to watch like Cardinal Health, Inc. (CAH) and General Electric Company (GE).
As the market continues to melt up and the calls for a correction only grow I am reminded, once again, to simply tune out all the noise and keep on my own track. What do you think about my recent buys? Have you been buying in September as well? Please let me know below.
I really like the HRL buy. I should be making a move next month myself, and they are in the prime running with GIS, SJM, the Canadian Banks, and SON. If you look long enough, you will see there are good options out there!
There have been many opportunities to buy some high quality assets at better values as of late. Every name you mention can make a great long term hold for any DGI portfolio. As long as these companies look attractive, and give me a chance to average down my cost I'll take it. Thank you for commenting.
Both good buys. Will add a decent amount of dividend income to you as well. Smart to not let market conditions bother your decisions. Hold for the long term and the corrections will only help you moving forward in the long run.
I never let market/world conditions affect my monthly buying. Sometimes I make my buys at higher prices and sometimes lower but over time it all averages out and my passive income stream continues to grow which is my main focus. Both JCI and HRL continue to look attractive and I was afforded the opportunity to average down my cost basis as well. As always, I appreciate your comment.
Nice work on Hormel, hard to pass on those prices, that's for damn sure! You are consistent and are buying income producing assets, that's what this is about.
You said it. I always believed that consistency is one of the most important elements for being a long term dividend growth investor. No matter how good or bad times may be, there will always be a reason to not invest. I just ignore those reasons and stay on my merry path. Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
Staying the course is something that most individuals cannot do. It's human nature to be impatient and want results immediately rather than years or decades down the road. Being a dividend growth investor for about ten years I know that I can continue on my path no matter how high or low markets go. As you stated, it's really about focusing on the quality buys for the long haul that should be able to weather any economic storms. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I like the buys Keith. Hormel is on my shortlist as is General Mills. I feel like Hormel is a good buy now, but General Mills might be a wait an see stock. I think it's going to trend lower over the next few months. By the way, I like the new site layout.
HRL, GIS, SJM and many other food staples have been hurting as of late. Personally, it looks like better buying opportunities for those that are willing to hold for a while. As long as those dividends remain safe, even with lower annual dividend growth rates, I'll be happy to buy at current levels and wait. Glad you like the new site layout. Simple as the old but updated theme. Thank you for commenting.
Really like the HRL buy I haven't add in a while to my position but really tempted to continue adding. I being focusing more in CAH, NWL, DFS, MDLZ and KR. Thanks for sharing!
Seems as if many are liking the HRL buy. I like it yielding 2% and more. That's a historically high yield for that stock and the dividend continues to look very safe with room for future growth. Looks like you have your eye on some other high quality payers as well. CAH is still in the back of my head going forward. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I always believed in staying invested as well as being consistent with my buys once I went the DGI route. I won't change my attitude should a bear market come. I'll simply keep doing more of the same and know that having a long term mindset is key to achieving clarity during the 'short term panics' that inevitably occur. Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
HRL and JCI are both solid picks. Your consistency in purchases month after month is truly remarkable and shows that you're really focused on the long term. Personally I'm looking forward to the correction/crash whenever it does come because I want to see just how I handle seeing my portfolio decline. So far I've handled every blip/temporary set back on this bull run just fine but as the portfolio grows larger those 10-20% pullbacks look a lot bigger. Being able to hold through thick and thin is all about psychology and of course investing in the right kinds of companies that you are confident will still be there.
Well said. Psychology is a huge factor in determining how you will react to a severe decline. As you stated, investing in solid high quality companies that you feel will still be around can soothe even the most frazzled nerves during those difficult times. HRL seems to be high on many buy lists these days. Seeing that stock yield over 2% definitely makes it interesting. I still wonder why JCI is not seen in more DGI portfolios. Happy to see you are back! As always, I appreciate your comment.
Thanks for sharing your recent dividend investment ideas. I also couldn't agree more with your outlook. There is no shortage of doom and gloom. But the world marches on, and historically it's paid to be invested. Good reminder to ignore the noise, keep saving money and putting it to work for you.
Go back in time and read all the headlines of the last year, two years, five years, ten years, etc. and you will always find doom and gloom sensationalism hitting you in the face. We can have 10% GDP growth, higher wages, low unemployment a strong dollar and doom and gloom will persist. Personally, I have learned to walk with blinders on and just keep buying steadily. The way I see it, if my portfolio goes to zero, I don't have a problem, Earth does. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I like the HRL purchase as I recently added some myself. No purchases for me in September yet, though. You are diligent in continuing to grow the portfolio, nice job!
Glad to be a fellow shareholder with you. Seems like quite a few of us are buying HRL with it's "high" yield of 2%+. Thank you for your kind words about my investing diligence. I find that making contributions at least once a month takes some of the anxiety out of investing as I am not constantly waiting for the "best" time to put my money to work. I just invest knowing that I have an investing window measured in decades and not in days or weeks. Thank you for commenting.
Slow and steady wins the race Div Hut. Consistency and persistence are the key. I think you're right about being able to tune out the noise and stay focused on the goal. It's easy to get distracted with all the negativity out there. That doesn't mean one shouldn't pay attention. But, it does mean not necessarily reacting to every little bit of bad news. Anyway, I'm a fan of the investment in HRL, as I too own that stock! But, I'm a bigger fan of your monthly contributions that you make in your portfolio. I do the same thing.
When you invest for decades it's very important to tune out the near term noise. I find that investing with blinders on suits me quite well. While I do read what's going on in the (financial) world it's more for entertainment than for helping me decide where or how to invest. I'm not a trader by any means. I'm an investor. Glad to see we both hold a quality company like HRL in our portfolios. As long as that yield remains above 2% it will be a consideration of mine. Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
What's not to like Divhut! You keep adding these great dividend paying companies to your portfolio. You keep on giving me the investing itch and I am loving the motivation! Enjoy the purchases and the new income in your portfolio.
That investing itch is hard to scratch. It's very persistent. I'm glad my consistent buying is motivating you on your own journey. No market timing for me, but you already know that by now. At minimum, I'll be making at least one buy every single month and slowly build up my passive income stream. As always, I appreciate your comment.
Nice div. Nothinf wrong with more hormel and johnston. I like cardinal health and I need to add to my healthcare sector atm. Just no usdollars at the moment. Like you said keep the course.
HRL seems to be a very popular choice these days. You don't read too much about JCI though. Like you, I also like CAH but would wait to see slightly better pricing before nibbling on that stock. It's sitting right around my current cost basis these days. In the meantime, staying the course 🙂 Thank you for commenting.

Home / How to Play the Lottery Online
A lottery is a form of gambling that dates back to the early 1700s. This form of gambling is legal in most states, with some exceptions. However, the laws governing the lottery are continually changing. It is important to know the rules before buying tickets. If you are new to the game, you can use an online website to help you find out more.
The first US state to legalize a lottery was New Hampshire in 1964. Since then, lotteries have spread to 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and several other places. Although some of the lotteries do not offer online ticket sales, the legalization of them is expanding.
One of the largest lotteries in the United States is Powerball. It is available in 45 US states and the Virgin Islands, and offers odds of one in 292,201,338. Tickets cost $2, and players choose five numbers between one and 69. To win the jackpot, you need to match all five numbers, plus the number drawn.
Mega Millions is another huge multi-state lottery. In this case, you need to select two or three pool numbers, plus the number drawn. You can also play an instant win version of the game. For this type of lottery, you can play from your smartphone or tablet. Each lottery is different, but the top prize is often around a million dollars.
There are several multi-state lotteries in the US, including Powerball, Lucky for Life, Treasure Hunt, Tri-State Megabucks, and the Millionaire Raffle. These games offer big jackpots, and they have a variety of draws, with tickets priced from $1 to $20.
New Jersey and Massachusetts are also in the process of legalizing online lottery ticket sales. Their websites feature a variety of draw and multi-state games. Some of the jackpots are worth over a billion dollars. While the jackpots in these lottery games are bigger than in others, there are still smaller prizes to be won.
In addition to these lotteries, Virginia has several draw and multi-state games for residents to enjoy. West Virginia has three in-house games and three multi-state lotteries for its residents.
Idaho started in 1989 and is a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association. The lottery features four draw games, as well as several in-house games. Most of the proceeds go to the general fund, the public school system, and wildlife habitats.
Connecticut is one of the oldest lottery organizations in the country. This lottery offers multiple draw and multi-state games, as well as e-Instant games. Profits from the lottery go to the state's General Fund, the General School Fund, and debt services.
Pennsylvania offers an online lottery. The state has a variety of lottery games to play, as well as virtual sports and a Millionaire Raffle. Those who win over $500 will receive a W2-G form to complete and send to the IRS.
Online lotto websites will automatically withhold 24% of the federal tax for winners over $5,000. However, those who win less than that will have to pay the taxes.

The inflammatory state is an essential element in the human immune system, because it is responsible for the start of defensive reaction and it eliminates factors which cause the risk. Short-term, acute inflammation is a beneficial indicator – it gives us a warning that there is something wrong with the body system and it stimulates the activation of healing processes.
However, the prolonged and chronic inflammation is already a pathological phenomenon and may cause diabetes, Hashimoto's disease, obesity, migraines, depression, rheumatoid arthritis, as it means a steady stimulation of the immune system.
The factors which cause inflammations are, among others, bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, injuries, reduced immunity, poor diet, lack of physical activity. In the case of inflammation, the most important thing is to identify the responsible factor and to eliminate it. It has been demonstrated that some substances show anti-inflammatory properties and may be effective in the reduction of the inflammation.
We offer you a wide range of products which contain substances that show anti-inflammatory properties – omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, acai berry extract, polyphenols, curcumin, silymarin and many others.
White peony compounds have been shown to help maintain the balance the immune system.

List Story > NEWS > Detail
The birth of the term "shared economy" dates back to 30 years ago, when the U.S. was experiencing a severe recession, and the unemployment rate exceeded 7 percent in 1985, economists worked hard to find ways to overcome it, and then published a thesis titled "Shared Economy: Conquering stagflation" at Harvard University in 1984.
Professor Martin Witsman described the shared economy as "The Share Economy," which differed in its nuance from the "Sharing Economy," which focuses more on the act of sharing because it used the meaning of a shared economy as a "profit sharing." In other words, the idea of creating a flexible wage system, in which workers' salaries vary depending on the size of corporate earnings, is different in concept from the shared economy, which is technically mentioned in the digital age, as a way to address the rising unemployment rate due to the severe economic downturn.
Then in 2002, digital-based shared economy began to be mentioned in earnest, and professor emeritus Ezanne Mackay of Montreal University did not clearly explain what a shared economy is. He also wrote a mixture of 'Share Economy' and 'Sharing Economy,' but did not give a specific definition of it, although it gave the most recent example of a shared economy being discussed. However, it only expressed that "exchange and shared economies have different characteristics in terms of quality, creativity and cost, and seem to provide different functions to the public."
Since then, it has been Harvard University professor Lawrence Lessig who most specifically defined the meaning of the shared economy, which is still widely known. He defines a shared economy as an economic form defined by a complex combination of social relationships, with a 'commercial economy' on the counterpoint and not defined by price, and especially based on the Wikipedia case, saying, "It works as a contribution to the content itself, not to the purpose of monetary What's important here is that the key to the meaning of the term shared economy he defines is non-monetary factors. Since his definition of a shared economy was announced, he has redefined his definition of a shared economy through the concept of collaborative consumption. This is based on the concept of incorporating ICT into his existing definition, which he describes as a business and related phenomenon that creates new value by sharing personal goods with others based on IT technology, seeing that creating new value through sharing, exchanging and lending access to the goods that he owns with others is the basis for creating new value.
There are three main types of services called shared economy: the general type, the type of work provided or not, and the type of service that is based on whether to seek profit. First, the general types can be divided into 1) the type of product service system that consumes only value in use without owning the product, 2) the type of redistribution market that transfers ownership of personally unserved goods to those in need, and 3) the form of collaborative lifestyles that share tangible and intangible resources with others. Here 1) The form is the view that the product service system provides the product and service owned by a company to consume only the value of use rather than the point of view of sales. Thus, a product service system will result in a change in the mindset that the benefits provided by the product are desired, but ownership is not required, which may result in longer life spans because the life of the product can be extended to shares or leases rather than limited to the length of ownership. 2) The view is that the products that are not needed can be moved and relocated where necessary. It may be provided free of charge in the market it needs, exchanged in other markets or sold in cash. This has the advantage of reducing the amount of waste and the amount of resources consumed to produce new products by reusing or reselling current products without abandoning them. And over time, redistribution will form five Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair, Redistibute) to enable continued commerce. Finally, the form is the view that people with similar fields of interest form a community that can share and exchange tangible and intangible resources such as time, space, talent, information, knowledge and experience.
This type of sharing is small, such as work space and parking lots, at the local or neighboring level, and the recent development of ICT has expanded beyond the constraints of these physical spaces to create a global network. Examples include loans between individuals and trips between individuals.
Next, there can be two different types of work-related services: manufacturing and service-related. In the case of manufacturing industries, products are produced and supplied, producing and operating inventories of the type of products. However, the service industry can be divided into two types, face-to-face and ICT, depending on the service delivery method, in that it provides intangible services by providing the service. Here, the face-to-face approach is that service demanders receive services from suppliers through a certain form of work, typically including education services and medical services. And the ICT method allows service demanders to receive services through suppliers' ICT systems, typically including financial services such as loan businesses and crowdfunding and various reservation services. And in this case, there are services that serve as intermediaries for information, although service providers may provide services directly through ICT.
Finally, types of profit-seeking can be broadly divided into P2P (Peer to Peer) and B2P (Business to Peer), where For-Profit P2P/Non-Profit P2P and For-Profit BP2/Non-Profit depending on whether the project is pursued or not. P2P refers to transactions between individuals, and therefore increases in sales depend on the increase in the number of transactions, such as airBnB, Coza, etc., the service to rent clothes (open wardrobe), the service to rent space (Space Cloud) and other services to lend an individual's own car (Buzzcar, Ray Rides, etc.). By referring to business models, we try to maximize revenue per transaction, including car-sharing services (ZipCar, Car2go, Green Car, SoCar, etc.) and space services for the benefit of community operations that work with people of common interest in computers, processing, technology, science, digital arts, or public sectors.
In addition, some view is that depending on the type and purpose of a shared economy, an entity may separately lend individually owned idle resources to other entities and share the facilities, equipment, and land owned by individual entities for use when they are idle, and the intellectual property rights secured by individual entities may be used by others.

RIBA launches MBA in architectural and construction management
By Will Hurst2011-10-25T10:50:00+01:00
Course is intended to help architects improve fee-earning potential
The RIBA has joined forces with the Bradford Management School to launch an MBA in architectural and construction management.
The course includes modules specified by the RIBA taught alongside accredited Bradford MBA classes.
Geoff Alsop, chairman of RIBA North West said: "The construction industry faces difficult times and an uncertain future. One of the issues that has arisen is that architects have automatically focused on what they do best: design.
"This leads in certain instances to a shift in focus away from the fee-earning business side of architecture. Management, legal and administrative processes that enable architects to produce excellence in design and execution must be incorporated into an architect's skill set."
The MBA will be launched today (October 25) at a reception at the RIBA's national headquarters at 66 Portland Place, London.
