What is CPE
ICPT Training Programs
The Institute for Clinical Pastoral Training (ICPT) endeavors to maintain and demonstrate the highest level of effective professional formation in various ministry environments. Our mission is to emphasize professional growth in ministry and protect the dignity of our trainees and those they encounter in ministry service. ICPT offers Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) to a wide range of individuals with differing religious beliefs and traditions. It is intentional that we treat each student trainee with respect and acceptance in the context of their own religious traditions. It is our goal to allow each trainee to grow within chaplaincy ministry and service to others consistent with these beliefs and traditions. Our desire is to provide personal and professional integration of peer-group feedback through CPE, in varied clinical settings.
This organization serves as a radiant beam of love, grace, and compassion in the world; igniting others and revealing the truth, peace, and understanding.

Who wouldn't be excited to turn $109 into over $20,000 in two hours? That's the beauty of TCOOP and this evening,1,326 players took advantage of the opportunity for a little hyper-speed Omaha Hi/Lo. Event #43's prize pool topped out at $141,683.10, nearly double the $75k guarantee. 168 places were paid with first place set to earn $23,732.68. Seven member of Team Pro and Team Online joined the field, including Marcin Horecki, Nacho Barbero, Marcel Luske, Henrique Pinho, George Danzer, Martin Hruby, and Mickey "mement_mori" Petersen. However, none of them finished in the money.
Blinds were up to 50,000/100,000 with seven players remaining and the average stack was only 9.5 big blinds. Lena900 open-shoved for 802,235 on the button, onmybicycle called all-in for 253,534 from the small blind and D3Z0LUTI0N called from the big blind, having both players covered.
D3Z0LUTI0N hit top pair and the nut low draw on the A♣9♣7♦ flop but was in kicker trouble vs.onmybicycle for the high. Both players made aces and nines when the 9♥ turned, and the river was the Q♥ eliminating any low possibilities. Onmybicycle won the 970,602 main pot with aces and nines with a king kicker, D3Z0LUTI0N picked up the 997,402 side pot with aces and nines with a seven kicker, and Lena900 was eliminated on the final table bubble.
Docbaby arrived at the final table with less than 2.5 big blinds and although he scored a double-up through big stack kotik363, it wasn't enough to take him out of the danger zone. A few hands later, docbaby moved all-in for 531,144 from UTG+1 and kotik363 reshoved for 2.16 million on the button.
Both players missed the K♣Q♦6♣ flop, but kotik363 turned a pair of tens when the T♣ fell. The river was the [8d[ and docbaby hit the rail in sixth place, good for $3,896.28.
Five hands later, onmybicycle min-raised to 320,000 UTG and kotik363 three-bet o 800,000. Onmybicycle called all-in, revealing A♦5♦6♣7♣. Kotik363 turned over 2♦3♣6♦6♠ and hit trips when the flop came down A♣3♦3♠. Onmybicycle didn't improve on the K♠ turn or the T♠ river and went out in fifth place ($5,979.02).
With that second knockout, the chip counts grew even more lopsided. Kotik363 held over 4.5 million in chips, his three opponents all bunched between 465k and 915k in chips. However, bcin2004 emerged from the pack when D3Z0LUTI0N open-shoved from the small blind with 2♥3♦5♦8♥ and he called from the big with A♥7♥Q♥K♠. Bcin2004 rivered a Broadway straight on the Q♠T♦6♠4♥J♥ board and send D3Z0LUTI0N to the rail in fourth place ($9,138.55).
Final table host Felix "xclixx" Schneiders presented the trio with ICM numbers and they quickly agreed to them. With $1,500 and the title still up for grabs, cards went back in the air.
Almost immediately, bcin2004 open-shoved for 1.28 million from the small blind and kotik363 looked him up from the big.
Bcin2004 hit a pair of queens on the flop and turned queens up on the K♥Q♦6♣6♠2♣ board, doubling his stack to 2.72 million.
Kotik363 fell to 1.83 million but quickly rebounded to 2.91 million. With the blinds up to 125,000/250,000, he open-shoved for 2.86 million on the button and bcin2004 called all-in from the big blind.
Although bcin2004 flopped bottom two pair, kotik363 turned a low and rivered an eight-high straight on the K♠9♠8♠7♣6♣ board to end bcin2004's run in third place. Thanks to the deal, he took home $16,535.32 for his finish.
On the third hand of heads-up play, Boby Book open-shoved for 872,000 on the button and kotik363 called with A♥2♥2♣Q♥. However, Boby Boom's 4♣6♦9♥J♣ made a flush for high and a 6-5 low on the A♣7♥3♣5♦K♣ board, doubling his stack to 1.84 million.
Three hands later, Boby Boom doubled again when his A♦4♣8♥T♣ turned two pair and kotik363's A♣2♣J♦Q♣ did not improve on the K♦4♦3♠3♣9♥ board. For the first time at the final table, someone other than kotik363 held the chip lead as Boby Boom moved up to 3.62 million.
After a few trades of the blinds, kotik363 worked his way back out to a narrow lead. Holding 3.04 million to kotik363's 3.58 million, Boby Boom found A♥4♥4♣9♣ and open-shoved on the button. Kotik363 called with 3♦3♠4♠5♥. Boby Boom made trip nines on the flop, the board running out J♥9♥9♠6♣5♣. While Boby Boom doubled to 6.09 million, kotik363 was crippled to less than 600,000.
Congratulations to Boby Boom on a come-from-behind TCOOP victory! He picked up $18,159.91 for the win. However, thanks to the three-way deal, runner-up kotik363 took home the largest share of the prize pool at $20,136.88.


What? I hear you exclaim. Hath the good mistress taken up some form of extreme gymnastic activity? Those who do know Mistress Agnes well, will realise that strenuous pursuits are not normally associated with this dear lady. No, despite the attempts of the rascally Puritans to put a damper on Yuletide proceedings, Mistress Agnes did receive a most thrilling gift. This wonderous spinning wheel now graces her cottage and the good lady is awaiting instruction in the use of the same. Really she should have been hard at work last Sunday, which is designated Distaff Day, the day when all good spinsters resume their duties after Twelfth Night. 'Tis also known as Rock Day, as those with the less glamorous drop spindles were said to be spinning on the rock.
Folklore states that young masters might set fire to the flax and tow of the maidens, who would then retaliate by throwing a pail of water. The good masters, by custom, returned to work on Plough Monday, after the blessing of the plough the previous day. This year Plough Monday was on 8 January, so the goodfellows only had one extra day of leisure.

Hyatt's 'digital hotel' boasts optimal Wi-Fi
A ubiquitous "super Wi-Fi" network at the Hyatt Regency in California illustrates how hoteliers can recoup the cost of wireless.
By Jason Q. Freed
MINNEAPOLIS—Installing and offering premium wireless Internet access keeps guests happy, but it also benefits the hotel's operations, experts said during a panel discussion at the Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference.
Connecting guests to a ubiquitous, high-speed network allows hoteliers to learn about their guests, including location, loyalty, spending habits and satisfaction.
For those reasons, Hyatt Hotels Corporation's first thought when building its "digital hotel of the future" was to ensure guests were connected on a fast and reliable network at all times throughout the test hotel, a Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara, California.
Hyatt team members—along with partner-service provider Cisco Systems—identified best practices for recouping wireless installation costs during a panel at HITEC in Minneapolis.
"When we got (to the hotel) and looked at it, it didn't have anything; it didn't look like a digital hotel," said John Prusnick, director of information-technology innovation and strategy with Hyatt. "To create innovation we really needed to start with the plumbing. We realized that everyone needs Wi-Fi, no big deal, but then we asked what we could do to make it bigger and bolder."
Hyatt turned to Cisco as a partner to help them install a wireless system throughout the hotel. The idea, Prusnick said, was to make Wi-Fi coverage seamless throughout the property—hotel rooms, elevators, lobby, meeting rooms, convention space—so guests could connect once and not have to reauthorize for their entire stay.
Cisco and Hyatt identified pain points they could eliminate with the property-wide service.
'Super Wi-Fi' advantages
Problems or errors with the network could be identified quicker. For example, employees in the Santa Clara property were initially experiencing a trouble spot in the kitchen where they would lose connectivity. The team was able to identify an access point that was losing its connection because it was sitting above a microwave.
To troubleshoot users' problems, the team can drill down to each individual user, identify their Internet protocol address, and determine where and when the connection was lost.
"If a person says, 'I don't know what happened but earlier this afternoon I couldn't get the Internet,' before that meant nothing," said George Manuelian, director of mobile aggregation solutions for Cisco. "Now I can look back three hours ago and see exactly where they were standing and identify the problem."
Advanced wireless networks also allow hoteliers to learn about and gather data on their guests. For example, hoteliers can offer free Internet in the lobby/bar area and then monitor people's actions in those spaces via their mobile connections.
"A dashboard zooms into the bar area and we can see: Are people spending more or less time at the bar since we gave them free Wi-Fi? How many devices come through and how many were unique? What was the average dwell time? What time did they come by?" Manuelian said. "Now we have the visibility, and we can tell what's going on—when they came to the bar, how long they stayed and what they were doing.
"It's not about Internet access anymore, but it's about business intelligence."
Dania Duke, GM of the Hyatt's "digital hotel of the future" in Santa Clara, said she's excited about the property's "super Wi-Fi" because it allows her staff to engage with its guests in a new way.
"We did a lot of testing on free Wi-Fi, and we went back and looked at the analytics," she said. "Guest experience helped drive the decision to offer the free superlative Wi-Fi access in the public spaces and lobby and pool. We are now seeing increases in lobby bar spend up to 25% to 40%. The dwell time is there, and we're able to see that."
Capturing guest data
Through a service called WeLink, Duke said her team can monitor social chatter—what guests are posting to social media sites from onsite at the hotel—in real time. For instance, recently the network connection went down in the convention space, and the team was notified via WeLink that attendees were posting messages about it to social media. They were able to address the problem immediately.
"The guests have this sense that we really care," she said.
As another example, the hotel staff can use guests' mobile Wi-Fi connections to monitor how long they are waiting in line to check-in. Rather than simply providing connectivity, "now it's about watching human behavior," Manuelian said.
"By knowing that you just walked in the lobby, I can send something to your device and have you log in. Would you like to check-in? I can recognize that you're a Gold Passport member," he said.
The panelists agreed that mobile connectivity can be monetized if done correctly. Duke said the "innovation lab" allows Hyatt to gauge the analytics and determine whether the technology has a strong ability to scale. If so, the potential is there to roll that information up to Hyatt's chief innovation officer to consider brand-wide deployment.
"You have to look at the investment and see if it pushes the needle," Prusnick said.
shlomit ferber July 8, 2013 2:23 AM
It is like spying on people and leaving them no privacy at all . I am sure if the guests knew what the hotel is doing they would not stay there.

Great idea Hyatt!

Cyclone Anne
For the 2014 extratropical cyclone, see Cyclone Anne (2014).
Not to be confused with Cyclone Ana.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Anne was one of the most intense tropical cyclones within the South Pacific basin during the 1980s. The cyclone was first noted on January 5, 1988 as a weak tropical depression to the northeast of Tuvalu, in conjunction with the future Typhoon Roy in the Northern Hemisphere. Over the next few days, the system gradually developed while moving southwestward. Once it became a tropical cyclone, it was named Anne on January 8. The next day, Anne rapidly intensified, becoming the fourth major tropical cyclone to affect Vanuatu within four years. On January 11, Anne peaked in intensity while it was equivalent to a Category 5 on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale, and a Category 4 on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale. After turning southward on January 12, Anne struck New Caledonia, becoming the strongest tropical cyclone to affect the French Overseas Territory. The system subsequently weakened as it started to interact with Tropical Cyclone Agi. Anne weakened into a depression and was last noted on January 14 to the south-east of New Caledonia.

Part of the 1987–88 South Pacific cyclone season
Several islands within the Solomon Islands reported extensive property and crop damage. Within Vanuatu, Anne brought heavy rains, flooding, and a storm surge. These effects damaged houses, crops, and property, especially on Ureparapara islands and the Torres Islands. Extensive damage was reported in New Caledonia after it was exposed to a prolonged period of storm force winds, with the eastern and southern coasts particularly affected. On January 12, the system produced the highest daily rainfall totals since 1951 in several areas. Two people were killed after they attempted to cross a flooded river, and about 80 others were injured by the cyclone. Due to the impact of this storm, the name Anne was retired.

Subtropical cyclone
Extratropical cyclone / Remnant low / Tropical disturbance / Monsoon depression
On January 5, 1988, the Fiji Meteorological Service (FMS) started to monitor a shallow tropical depression that developed within the monsoon trough about 540 km (335 mi) northeast of Tuvalu.[1][2][3] At around the same time, a twin depression developed within the Northern Hemisphere monsoon trough, which eventually became Typhoon Roy.[4] Over the next two days the Southern Hemisphere system developed further as it was steered towards the south-southwest along an area of high pressure, before it became equivalent to a tropical storm while passing through the Tuvaluan islands.[3][1][5] As a result, the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) designated the system as Tropical Cyclone 07P and started to issue advisories on it.[3][6] After organized further, the FMS named the storm Anne after it became equivalent to a modern-day Category 2 on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale.[1][2][3] On January 9, the cyclone started to rapidly intensify while continuing to move towards the south-southwest. Later that day, the JTWC reported that the system had become equivalent to a Category 1 on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS), and the FMS upgraded Anne to a Category 3 severe tropical cyclone on the Australian Scale.[1][3] Early on January 10, the cyclone passed through Temotu Province and about 55 km (35 mi) to the northwest of Anuta Island.[1][3]
Later on January 10, Anne directly passed over Vanuatu's Torres Islands and came within 65 km (40 mi) of Ureparapara in the Banks Islands.[1] The cyclone continued to move to the south-southwest and affected the northern islands of Vanuatu.[1] Early on January 11, the FMS reported that Anne had peaked, with estimated 10-minute sustained winds near its center of 185 km/h (115 mph), equivalent to a Category 4 severe tropical cyclone on the Australian scale.[1][3] At around the same time the JTWC reported that Anne had peak 1-minute peak sustained winds of 260 km/h (160 mph), which made it equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane on the SSHWS.[3][6] This made it one of the most intense tropical cyclones of the 1980s.[1] Over the next day, Cyclone Anne turned south and rapidly weakened as it encountered upper-level wind shear, approaching the French overseas territory of New Caledonia.[1] Late on January 12, Anne weakened into a modern-day Category 2 tropical cyclone, before it made landfall on New Caledonia about 110 km (70 mi) to the north-northwest of Noumea.[1] After the cyclone re-emerged into the Coral Sea, the JTWC downgraded Anne to tropical storm status.[3] Later on January 13, Cyclone Anne started to interact with Cyclone Agi, which had rapidly moved south-eastward towards the "relatively deeper" Anne.[1][3][7] Agi had developed two days prior near the Louisiade Archipelago, about 1,200 km (745 mi) northwest of Cyclone Anne.[3][7] Early on January 14, Anne weakened into a depression and subsequently dissipated southeast of New Caledonia as it was caught up in the upper westerly flow.[2][6][3]
Preparations and impactEdit
During its early stages of development, Anne passed through the central islands of Tuvalu, causing minor damage to houses and crops such as bananas and coconuts.[1] The storm passed to the north of Funafuti where strong gale force winds of 70 km/h (45 mph) were recorded.[8] The system subsequently affected the Solomon Island province of Temotu between January 9 – 10 while it had sustained winds of 150 km/h (95 mph).[1] However, the cyclone's center did not pass directly over any island, and the smaller islands escaped the destructive hurricane-force winds.[1] Because Anne moved through the province at about 30 km/h (20 mph), any gale and storm force winds that affected the islands were not prolonged.[9] Anuta, Utupua, the Duff Islands and the Reef Islands all reported extensive damage to property and crops, with at least 25 houses and 5 classrooms damaged.[9][10]
The system affected the Northern Vanuatu Islands between January 10 – 11 and was the fourth major tropical cyclone to affect the island nation since 1985, after Severe Tropical Cyclones Eric, Nigel and Uma.[11] Ahead of Anne affecting Vanuatu, various alerts and warnings were issued including a hurricane warning.[10] During January 10, the cyclone directly passed over the Torres Islands and came within 65 km (40 mi) of the Banks Islands, although it missed Vanuatu's most populated districts around Port Vila and the rest of Espiritu Santo.[1][12] Within Vanuatu, over 1600 people were made homeless while wind gusts of up to 225 km/h (140 mph) were recorded.[11][13][14] Torrential rain, flooding and storm surge caused damage to houses, crops and property while triggering a landslide on the island of Epi.[11][13][14] The hardest hit area was Torba Province with severe damage recorded on the islands of Ureparapara and the Torres Islands, while extensive damage was recorded on the islands of Vanua Lava and Gaua.[10][11][15] Within the province, virtually the whole population lost their houses, as well as their cash crops.[15][16] There were reports of 4–5 m (13–16 ft) tidal waves, washing away houses on the west coast of Ureparapara, while significant wave heights of over 11 m (36 ft) were recorded.[1][17] Within the province of Sanma, severe damage was recorded on Espiritu Santo after Anne flooded huts, unroofed school buildings, uprooted coconut trees and destroyed the main wharf.[16][18] Overall the total damages from Anne in Vanuatu, were estimated at US$500,000.[19]
In conjunction with Tropical Cyclone Agi, Anne affected the whole of New Caledonia between January 11–15, becoming the most powerful tropical cyclone to affect the French overseas territory in 12 years.[20] Winds in Noumea reached up to 150 km/h (95 mph), although there was no serious damage there.[21] Prolonged storm force winds left extensive damage to the island, with the eastern and southern coasts particularly affected.[1][10] On January 12, the system produced the highest daily rainfall totals since 1951, with Noumea recording 262 mm (10.3 in).[22]
Larger rainfall totals included 713 mm (28.1 in) in Goro and 519 mm (20.4 in) in Thio.[23] Two people were killed after they attempted to cross a flooded river.[20] Floods also swept away crops, huts and topsoil belonging to indigenous Melanesians that lived in coastal villages.[24][25] Some areas reported crop damage between 90 and 100%.[10][26] Most of the roads within the territory were left unusable while all international flights to the territory were cancelled.[21] About half of the houses in Poindimié were damaged or destroyed.[21] The last wooden Royal Navy boat was scheduled to be sunk on January 12, but was moved to January 19 due to the cyclones.[27][28] Overall, there were about 80 injuries related to the cyclone in New Caledonia.[20]
AftermathEdit
The aftermath of the cyclone was marked by a distinct lack of a quantitative assessment within the Solomon Islands; with few boats or aircraft near the remote islands, relief measures were slow to get underway.[9] However, 11 men aboard the United States Navy vessel USS Barbour County received Humanitarian Service Medals from the United States Department of Defense after aiding storm victims on Tikopia and Anuta from January 16 to 19.[29][30][31]
With some residents forced to seek refuge in caves, the Government of Vanuatu asked the Australian, New Zealand and American governments for emergency food supplies and other assistance.[10][15][16] In accordance, the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) dispatched two Hercules transport planes to help with recovery efforts.[32] The first carried a helicopter that transported Vanuatu military forces, medical teams and supplies to the affected northern islands, especially remote villages inaccessible to larger aircraft.[12][32][33] The other plane was used to transport more than 16,000 kilograms (35,000 lb) of fuel and relief supplies including food and shelter provisions.[32][34] The Royal New Zealand Air Force also provided a plane, which transported relief supplies from Espiritu Santo to the northern islands up to three times daily, with the bulk of supplies donated by Australia.[12] The European Commission provided Vanuatu with €100,000 in emergency aid to purchase local foods, including rice, preserved meat, and fish, and to distribute it to Anne's victims.[35] The total cost of relief and reconstruction efforts was estimated between US$1.2–2 million.[11][16]
Within the Paiti-la-Tonuatua area to the north of Noumea, New Caledonia Air Force helicopters rescued several people who had moved to the roofs of their houses.[36] Despite the severe crop damage, no areas were declared disasters by January 20. The South Pacific division of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency sent AU$5,000 to New Caledonia for relief efforts.[10][26] Emergency funding of F300,000 was given to New Caledonia to help with the relief effort by the French Minister of the Interior and Minister of Overseas Territories.[37] The European Commission also provided New Caledonia with €85,000, which was distributed by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in the form of cash donations to the worst-affected families.[38] After the season, the name "Anne" was retired by the World Meteorological Organization.[39]

Erik Olsson : It was a pretty difficult ride but a lot of fun. The rims have improved my riding ability because of the stiffness and strength they provide. With the 32 spoke count they are the strongest and lightest wheels I have ever ridden on. I would say LB should raise the maximum weight restriction above 240lbs because I usually ride at or above that weight and haven't had any problems with them. PS: http://www.i-mtb.com/carbon-wheels-experiences-and-tests/ Still riding my rims and they have held up very well.
Rawgnar : Nicolai Ion 16 24 hole rims on SunRingle straight-pull hubs with Sapim CX-Ray/Race 1476g excellent! holding up very nicely to the "abuse".
Erik Donald Olsson : Thankyou so much for the wonderful card! As expected the wheels are working beautifuly. When I build up a 29er I will be buying another set.


EXCLUSIVELY OURS. The beauty is in the buckle. Western-minded styling with decorative straps and striking concho buckle hardware lends distinctive character while the soft full grain Italian leather gives this slim-cut, pointed-toe shootie perfect polish.

These guys did an amazing job cleaning up our back office equipment!
Is your idea of maintaining a PC simply to turn of its monitor before leaving for the weekend? Is your keyboard starting to look like a checkerboard?
Think that keeping your computer clean isn't really worth the time and trouble?
Accumulations of dust, smoke and grease on PC parts can lead to all kinds of problems, from poor performance to a complete system crash.
Sometimes its a slow, lingering death brought on by corroding circuits and punctuated by nagging, intermittent errors that can drive you nuts.
Other times, it's a sudden loss of your whole system, thanks to an overheated CPU or other component.
Either way, a small investment of time and money can save hours of frustration and unnecessary expense.
It seems just about everything in the air is bad for your computer. Dust and dirt can clog ventilation ports and form insulating layers on chips that can lead to overheating, which can damage or destroy chips and cards - especially the hot running CPUs in the newer computers.
And airborne particles can corrode and even fry your computer's delicate circuitry. Even worse, the damage occurs slowly, leading to intermittent errors and problems that are hard to track down.
Clean your computer system every three to six months, depending on the air quality in your location.


Fourth of July rose, right after the rain.
What a lovely Ruby Jan!!
I just got a comment from your daughter on my blog, how nice!
Such pretty shades in this beauty, is it a fragrant rose? Happy RT!
When I enlarged it I loved the detail on the center of it!
Fourth of July Rose sure is a pretty one! Do you grow all the roses you post? If you do, you are very clever!
I'm glad Carletta suggested enlarging it. The detail really is wonderful. My grandfather grew roses - obsessively - and I always associate the smell with my childhood.
Absolutely beautiful! Wow. So glad I stopped by here to see your photo.
What a lovely vibrant red that is!
you capture the feel, the texture of flowers so perfectly!!
Beautiful shot! The shades of red are awesome!
Beautiful! It makes me long for summer.
I love roses and this is a beauty! Enlarging your photo gives a wonderful view!


Bric a Brac : Realignments on the anvil?
IN politics and war, everything is possible. So hold your breath. There are rumours in the market that firebrand advocate and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley may be shifted to the Ministry of External Affairs. Jaitley has both admirers and adversaries. His adversaries have reportedly suggested to Modi that demonetisation is a wonderful scheme but it's implementation by Jaitley has created chaos across India. The rumour of his shift is an old one but it has gathered momentum as Subramaniam Swamy and renowned advocate Ram Jethmalani are advocating his removal. As Sushma Swaraj, Minister of External Affairs, is not keeping well, she may remain a minister without portfolio and Jaitley will take over. Who, then, will be the new Finance Minister? If insiders are to be believed, Piyush Goel is likely to take over as the new finance minister. Though he belongs to the Jaitley camp, his performance as a minister has been outstanding. The only apprehension about his elevation is that he belongs to a very powerful business school of Mumbai. Piyush is an old RSS hand and his father Ved Prakash Goel was BJP treasurer. Insiders report that the shifting of Jaitley from Finance to External Affairs suits Modi to convey that Jaitley could not manage the demonetisation though the scheme was good. So far, Jaitley has been a survivor against all odds. Given his influence and grip on the party and government, it's to be seen how he manages.

July 4th is Busiest Day for USS Constitution
This is the busiest day of the year for the USS Constitution. It was authorized in 1794 as one of the original six Navy frigates, and was expected to have a service life of ten to fifteen years. It is still in commission today.
The frigate has 44 guns and was granted its name by President George Washington. Its 1797 launching ceremony was attended by President John Adams.
America's founders were not isolationists and President Thomas Jefferson dispatched the ship to battle the Barbary pirates (the terrorists of that era) in Tripoli Harbor. President James Madison sent the ship back into battle during the War of 1812.
The British burned the White House and the U.S. Capitol, but the Constitution helped turned the tide. It earned the nickname "Old Ironsides" when it defeated five British ships. It had 13 cannonballs implanted in its hull, but none made it through.
The Constitution's victory prompted the British Admiralty to order its frigates not to engage the heavier American ships one-on-one. There was a tremendous celebration when the triumphant Constitution returned to Boston where it was built and remains today.
For the United States Bicentennial celebration in 1976, the Constitution led the parade of tall ships in Boston Harbor, firing her guns at one-minute intervals for the first time in a century. She rendered a 21-gun salute to the Royal Yacht Britannia as Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip arrived for a state visit. Her Majesty and His Royal Highness were then piped aboard.
The ship is open to the public and is berthed at Pier 1 of the former Charlestown Navy Yard, at the end of Boston's Freedom Trail.

America's Founders Were Not Isolationists
Lafayette Square is directly across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House, and contains four statues honoring foreigners who had key roles in the American Revolution.
Many isolationists use quotes from George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to claim they represent the Founders' viewpoint. This was also the tactic of the America First organization in its campaign to keep the nation neutral in World War II. At every large rally they displayed Washington's portrait, and even though the Nazi's controlled all of Europe, they claimed America would never be attacked by the "Axis of Steel." They went out of business the day after Pearl Harbor. Continue reading →

Founding Father: George Washington and the Importance of Character
America was truly fortunate to have a leader of the caliber of General George Washington. He entered wholeheartedly into the Revolutionary War which certainly did not appear to be winnable at first. He eventually won a great victory against superior force and changed the course of the world.
Washington took a rag-tag army, heavily outnumbered, very ill-equipped, completely under-funded by its own people, enjoying 3% of the country's support, and was able to defeat the greatest empire on Earth at the time.
Washington was not the first General to be outnumbered. Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Hannibal and Napoleon all come immediately to mind. However, a claim can be made that he was among the greatest Generals of all time. He can be compared to:
* Alexander the Great in his Persian campaign who was out numbered approximately 6-1, but he had superior arms, tactics, discipline and motivation. The supply situation on both sides was about even.
* Julius Caesar of Rome had better arms, tactics and discipline, but the Gauls were greater in number and motivation. However, they were divided among themselves. Supplies were also equal in this case.
* General Hannibal of Carthage was outnumbered at the outset of the Second Punic War, and was so separated from his lines of communication and supply that it took months for the request for his return to reach him. He gained assistance from the many local cities that had been bullied by Rome into the Latin alliance.
* Napoleon Bonaparte was as extraordinary administrator who had huge popular support in France, but that was not the case in the nations he conquered. He had to use conscripted troops. Napoleon had superior tactics and equal arms, but was far better organized in terms of supply.
Alexander the Great was the best of this group as a field tactician, and Caesar as a strategist. Hannibal was the best warrior and guerilla fighter. Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan were also quite capable warriors.
General Washington's military campaigns should be separated into two sections. In the early period he mistakenly fought in the style in which he had been trained by the British. He had soldiers fighting in straight lines.
In his second period of command Washington relied on the advice of two young men. The Marquis de Lafayette and Alexander Hamilton, who urged Washington to have his troops fight in guerilla, or Indian-style. America's revolutionary soldiers lost badly when they fought like the British, but they were able to hang on when Washington threw out all of the useless ceremonial tactics of the British.
The American forces held together until the enemy was bled into leaving. Instead of going after a win in many battles, Washington wisely evaluated his resources, and his strategy was based on avoiding defeat. His strategy after 1778 involved the tactics of scout, raid, and then evade. It was mostly guerilla warfare. Washington's tactics became the model used by Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh and other fighters in guerrilla warfare.
It can be convincingly argued that this would not have been enough. America was fortunate that the Dutch declared war on the British which shamed the French and Spanish into fulfilling their commitments to the new American government.
Washington's continentals also received formal and informal assistance from Prussia, the Polish resistance and several Italian duchies. It is interesting to note the many people from other lands who joined in the fight for the American dream of democracy.
What is the major difference between Washington and the military leaders named above? He was the only one who had the character and moral standing to walk away from power. He actually never sought power to being with. At the end of the Revolutionary War, the people offered him the crown of America.
They were so used to life under the British crown that they attempted to establish another monarchy. It is difficult to think of another man in history who, when offered the crown of a nation, turned it down.
He said "I did not defeat George the Third to become George the First." Although not described as a democracy by the founding fathers, they shared a determination to root the new American experiment in the principles of freedom and equality. The United States Constitution, adopted in 1788, provided for an elected government and protected civil rights and liberties (women and blacks unfortunately were not included at first). In his Fifth Annual Address to Congress in 1793, Washington outlined a two-part formula for peace through strength. He said first be ready for war and second let it be known that we are ready.
The real greatness of Washington was not in military or political affairs, but rather as a man of exceptional character. Washington's outstanding biographer, Douglas Southall Freeman, was once asked what was the most important single thing he had learned from his lifetime of historical study.
He replied, "The influence of personality on history. The greatest among men do not glorify themselves, but are humble enough to be glorified by others." He gave the American cause what it needed most: "patience and determination, inexhaustible and inextinguishable."

INSTRUCTIONS
============

## BUILDING THE BIOS

### TO BUILD PATCHED INFORM 6
```
Clone the git repository of...
https://github.com/charcole/Inform6.git

git checkout inform6b
clang -O3 *.c -o inform6b.out
```

### ASSEMBLE THE ROM

Obtain 4 Z machine V3 games that are less than 120Kb. Update the roms array in
combinedata.c to reference the games you are using. The first game in the
array must be around 90Kb (like Zork I) as the icons are stored in this space.

```
cd bios
clang makefont.c -o makefont.out && ./makefont.out
clang -O3 compressicon.c -o compressicon.out && ./compressicon.out
clang -O3 combinedata.c -o combinedata.out && ./combinedata.out
inform6b.out -v3 -t -l -y bios.inf
```

To alter font, load zfont2.xcf in the GIMP. Alter the image as needed. Bottom
row is for specifying how wide each character should be. Save image as
zfont2.h. Recompile and run makefont.out.

To alter icons, create an image 100x480 in the GIMP. Make indexed using 128
colour palette. Save as icons.h. Recompile and run compressicon then
combinedata. The compression ratio achieved must be better than around 60% to
fit after Zork I.

## SIMULATING

I used: Icarus-0.8.1-2005Sep12

Make sure you'll built the BIOS and it's in the same directory you are going
to run the Verilog simulation in.

```
iverilog z3.vl && ./a.out
```

If you want to run passed first request for input then touch.txt can be
generated using TouchGenerator in the utilities. Using this a script can be
provided which can be typed automatically during the simulation.

To check screen output Screen (in utilties) can be run on the output from
a.out. You may have to remove this section from the z3.vl...

```
	if (b.operNum==`OP_VAR && b.op==`OPVAR_BLIT1 && b.phase==0 && b.state==`STATE_DO_OP) begin
		b.operand[1]=1;
	end
```

Another way of checking output is to look at ram.dat. At the end it contains
the scroll back buffer from the BIOS decoded and can be viewed in a text
editor.

## RUNNING ON HARDWARE

### THE HARDWARE

A "EP2C5 Cyclone II Mini Board" AKA "CycloneII EP2C5T144 Learning Board".
These contain an EP2C5T144 which is an Cyclone II FPGA with around 4600 LEs.
They are very reasonably priced on eBay (~$10).

'2.4" TFT LCD Shield' by http://mcufriend.com was used as a screen. Again very
cheap off eBay (~$3). It's a colour screen with resistive touch screen.

| RS Part No.	| Part No.		| Description					| Price |
|---------------|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------|-------|
| 7118029	| A29L040-70F		| Parallel FLASH 4MB, 512Kx8, 3V, DIP32		| £1.24 |
| 7444542	| AS6C1008-55PCN	| SRAM,1M,128Kx8,55ns,3V,Low Power,DIP32	| £1.65 |
| 6696064	| MCP3008-I/P		| A/D Converter 10Bit 8-ch 2.7V SPI PDIP16	| £1.53 |

### TO PROGRAM THE FPGA

Obtain Altera Quantus II 13.0sp1. I believe this was the last version to
support Cyclone II. Open project altera/ZMachine.qpf and hit compile.
Nb. ZMachine.v is identical to z3.vl.

### TO PROGRAM THE ROM

Using a Minipro TL866CS
```
minipro -w rom.z3 -p "A29L040 @DIP32"
```

## OPTIONAL EXTRAS

### TO BUILD THE BENCHMARK

```
inform6.out -v3 -t -l -y benchmark.inf \$MAX_STATIC_DATA=20000
```

Nb. This is the unpatched version of Inform 6.

You can include this in as one of the games in combinedata.c.

### TO BUILD UTILITIES

* Z-Ops:
  High level emulator. Useful for working on the BIOS.

```
clang -framework SDL2 -F/Users/charlie/Library/Frameworks
-I/Users/charlie/Library/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/Headers -I../../lib -O3 -g zops.c ../../lib/cclib64.a -o zops.out
```

* 16BitColor:
  Takes hex colours and turns them into 16 bit needed by screen
eg. ./16bitcolor.out 0xffe1a2
```
clang 16bitcolor.c -o 16bitcolor.out
```

* TouchGenerator:
  Takes script2.txt and generates a list of simulated touch data
to type out the script. Used to automatically test the simulation.

```
clang touchgenerator.c -o touchgenerator.out
```

* MakeGradient:
  Makes gradient for Mandelbrot generator easter egg. Image is
from gradient.h saved from the GIMP as a header in indexed mode. Output needs
pasting into bios.inf.

```
clang -O3 makegradient.c -o makegradient.out && ./makegradient.out
```

* Screen:
  Takes the output from the simulator and draws the resultant screen
output. Outdated now, use zops instead.

```
clang -framework SDL2 -F/Users/charlie/Library/Frameworks -I/Users/charlie/Library/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/Headers screen.c -o screen.out
```

Q: How to pass generics using wildcard to a function without casting? Here is my problem:
my function in class A:
public void setData(Map<String,? extends ArrayList<? extends SomeInterface>>){...}

my call:
Map<String, ArrayList<ImplementsSomeInterface>> a=...;
instanceOfA.setData(a); //does not compile
instanceOfA.setData((Map<String,? extends ArrayList<? extends SomeInterface>>) a); // works thanks to the Casting.

I don't think this is clean. Is there a way to avoid the casting without droping the wildcard use in the function?

A: First your setData method should read:
public void setData(Map<String,? extends List<? extends SomeInterface>>)

Your map declaration should read:
Map<String, List<ImplementsSomeInterface>> a = ...;

Which is pretty much what you've got following your edits to the original question.  The change I've made from ArrayList to List doesn't effect the behaviour of the code.
Following comments:
public static void main()
{
    Map<String, List<Double>> map = new HashMap<String, List<Double>>();
    map.put("prices", new ArrayList<Double>(Arrays.asList(1.1, 2.2, 3.3)));

    setData(map);
}

public static void setData(Map<String,? extends List<? extends Serializable>> map)
{
}

A: The problem is that setData takes as an argument a
Map<String,? extends ArrayList<? extends SomeClass>>Map>
whereas in your first call(the one that doesn't compile) you are trying to pass it a Map<String,? extends SomeClass>
Java cannot automatically cast a subclass of
SomeClass
to a subclass of
ArrayList<? extends SomeClass>
because it is not neccesarily an instance of ArrayList.

This is the first well-documented case of an HIV-infected child who appears to have been functionally cured of HIV infection—that is, without detectable levels of virus and no signs of disease in the absence of antiretroviral therapy.
The case study was presented at the CROI meeting by Deborah Persaud, M.D., associate professor of infectious diseases at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, and Katherine Luzuriaga, M.D., professor of pediatrics and molecular medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester. These two pediatric HIV experts led the analysis of the case. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), both components of the National Institutes of Health, provided funding that supported the work of Drs. Persaud and Luzuriaga and other investigators involved in the analysis of the case.
"Despite the fact that research has given us the tools to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV, many infants are unfortunately still born infected. With this case, it appears we may have not only a positive outcome for the particular child, but also a promising lead for additional research toward curing other children," said NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D.
Because of the high risk of exposure to HIV, the infant was started at 30 hours of age on liquid antiretroviral treatment consisting of a combination of three anti-HIV drugs: zidovudine, lamivudine, and nevirapine. The newborn's HIV infection was confirmed through two blood samples obtained on the second day of life and analyzed through highly sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. PCR tests conducted on separate occasions that indicate the presence of HIV in an exposed infant are considered to have confirmed the diagnosis of infection.
Additional plasma viral load tests performed on blood from the baby over the first three weeks of life again indicated HIV infection. However, by Day 29, the infant's viral load had fallen to less than 50 copies of HIV per milliliter of blood (copies/mL).
"This case suggests that providing antiretroviral therapy within the very first few days of life to infants infected with HIV through their mothers via pregnancy or delivery may prevent HIV from establishing a reservoir, or hiding place, in their bodies and, therefore, achieve a cure for those children," said Dr. Persaud.
NIAID and NICHD provided funding that supported the collaborating investigators involved in the analysis of the HIV-infected child through the International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials Network's (IMPAACT) cooperative agreement grant AI066832. Analysis was also performed by Tae-Wook Chun, Ph.D., a lead investigator in NIAID's Laboratory of Immunoregulation in Bethesda, Md. The Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) also contributed funding.

No more 'arty' British movies: Cameron restricts funding to mainstream
Wednesday 11 Jan 2012 12:00 am
arts-funding / film-indusrty
By Ian Dunt Follow @IanDunt
David Cameron suggested lottery funding would be restricted to British movies with mainstream appeal today, as he outlined major changes to the sector.
Ahead of a visit to Pinewood film studios, the prime minister said he wanted the UK film industry to be more "entrepreneurial" and "commercially successful".
Critics are likely to highlight the comments as proof that the government does not care about art and views its cultural priorities in purely financial terms.
But the new lottery funding guidelines are likely to feature in Lord Smith's review of government film policy next week, which is expected to demand that funding be directed towards more commercially viable projects.
"In this year when we set out bold ambitions for the future, when the eyes of the world will be on us, I think we should aim even higher, building on the incredible success of recent years," Mr Cameron said.
"Our role, and that of the BFI [British Film Institute], should be to support the sector in becoming even more dynamic and entrepreneurial, helping UK producers to make commercially successful pictures that rival the quality and impact of the best international productions.
"Just as the British Film Commission has played a crucial role in attracting the biggest and best international studios to produce their films here, so we must incentivise UK producers to chase new markets both here and overseas."
Downing Street also wants the BFI to develop an export strategy to increase the profitability of the British film industry.
The UK film industry, which is still riding high on the success of the highest grossing independent British film of all time in the shape of The King's Speech, contributes an estimated £4.2 billion to the UK economy each year.
The success of the Harry Potter franchise recently convinced Warner Bros to purchase the Leavesden studios, partly for films and partly as a tourist attraction.

Ukraine may receive the first tranche of $5 billion under a new program with its key creditor, the International Monetary Fund, by March 15, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk said on Thursday during his public report of the first 100 days of work of the Cabinet of Ministers.
As reported earlier, on March 11, as it was expected in the Ukrainian government, the IMF agreed a medium-term program of financial assistance for Ukraine, designed for four years, under the Enhanced Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and worth a total of $17.5 billion.
The first tranche, which will be provided to Ukraine, will total $5 billion, $2.7 billion of which Ukraine will spend to support the country's budget.
The new program will stabilize the balance of payments and provide more funding under the best and most flexible terms for Ukraine. International funding to support reforms will also be available. In addition, the Ukrainian government will be able to consult on debt restructuring with its creditors – the holders of the sovereign bonds of the country. The amount of restructured debt could reach $15 billion.
The program provides a number of key reforms: effective decisions in economic management, fighting corruption, bringing order to the energy sector, the optimization and reduction of public expenditure, an increase of GDP spending on investment by 3%, a reduction in the number of government officials, and equity in pension reform, with the main task being to reduce or cancel so-called special pensions.
In addition, the main task of the new program is to stabilize the banking system and the exchange rate, so that 2016 could be a year of stabilization and economic growth in Ukraine.
