Armed with stability and productivity.
The ZX50U-5 is small and compact and gives you huge performance on all kinds of jobs. We've reduced the size and footprint without sacrificing the Hitachi qualities you've come to expect – efficiency, reliability and durability.
By talking and listening to owners like you, we've taken the ZX50U-5 to a whole new level by adding real-world practical improvements. You get a more spacious cab with wider, easier entry and better visibility; a fuel-efficient and reliable engine that meets emission standard;, and maintenance that's easier than ever thanks to enhancements such as improved access to coolers.
The Yanmar diesel engine meets EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV emission regulations. It's easy to maintain and requires no special additional fluids – just ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel and CJ-4 engine oil.
FT4 technology employs field-proven cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for reducing NOX, and a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) to reduce particulate matter.
Match engine speed to the job with power/economy work modes. Choose the power mode and get higher engine speeds for most general digging work. For lighter digging jobs, the economy mode reduces engine speed and noise, and lowers fuel costs.
Although not a replacement for a grading tractor, standard backfill blades let this excavator fill-in quite capably. An optional all-hydraulic blade angles 25 degrees, left or right, for even more efficient grading and backfilling.
The rubber tracks traverse virtually any terrain, including paved surfaces. Also available are steel tracks and steel tracks with rubber pads. The optional rubber grousers combine work-anywhere flexibility with steel-track serviceability.
Heavy-duty X-frame provides a solid, stable platform that resists material and dirt build-up.
With plenty of lift height and reach, getting up and over truck sideboards is all in a day's work.
Standard quick-coupler equipped boom-mounted auxiliary hydraulic lines make attachment hook-up a snap. Wedge-style coupler enables quick changes and a wide variety of buckets and attachments, such as breakers and augers.
Single-pin swing-post increases boom stiffness, enhancing the structural integrity of the digging components. Wear-resistant hoses are routed for protection and Cordura®-wrapped where exposed.
Heavy-duty shields deflect material and impacts, protecting the boom/blade cylinders and drive motors.
Go from backhoe- to excavator-style controls with just a twist of your wrist. Control-pattern selector valve is conveniently located in a compartment beneath the seat.
Ergonomic short-throw pilot control levers provide smooth, predictable low-effort fingertip operation.
Swing boom and foldable travel pedals are positioned where they're easy to operate, yet allow plenty of foot room.
Visibility that's practically unlimited; precise feel; and smooth, accurate control makes the ZX50U-5 a great fit for excavating in and around existing utilities.
Enhanced monitor provides vital operating info at a glance and fingertip control of several functions, including auto shutdown, power/economy modes, and auto exhaust filter cleaning. Plus two trip meters let you track engine oil and hydraulic oil changes, or jobsite hours.
Automatic, high-velocity bi-level climate-control system with automotive-style adjustable louvers help keep the glass clear and the cab comfortable.
Spacious operator station has a wide entryway, making entrance and exit easier than ever. Flat, skid-resistant floor mats remove easily for clean-out. There's also a large cup holder and seat back compartment for documents.
Noise-reducing muffler and isochronous high-idle speed help keep things noticeably quiet. Rubber cab mounts further isolate the operator from noise and vibration to help reduce fatigue.
An aftertreatment device and isochronous high-idle speed help keep things noticeably quiet. Rubber cab mounts further isolate the operator from noise and vibration to help reduce fatigue.
Vertical spin-on filters allow quick and clean changes. Extended engine and hydraulic oil intervals let you work longer.
Hinged door provides easy access to the side-by-side oil cooler and radiator for easier core cleanout.
Operator station tilts forward 50 degrees simplifying access to the swing motor, hydraulic control valve, engine starter motor, and alternator.
Routine checks such as engine oil level are quickly accomplished from ground level. Convenient lube/maintenance chart helps ensure that nothing gets overlooked.
Hydraulic fluid sight gauge and see-through coolant reservoir let you quickly check levels at a glance.
Seamless diesel particulate filter (DPF) cleaning happens automatically without impacting machine productivity. Minimum service interval is 6,000 hours and can be done by your Hitachi dealer.
* As of June 1, 2018, applies to purchases of new Hitachi compact excavators from Hitachi or authorized Hitachi dealers. Warranty expires two years after the delivery receipt date or after 2,000 machine hours, whichever occurs first. Offer valid at participating dealers only. Some restrictions may apply. See your dealer for complete details.

# DataSources

A DataSource is an Infusion component which meets a simple contract for read/write access to indexed data.
DataSource is a simple semantic, broadly the same as that encoded in
[CRUD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Create,_read,_update_and_delete), although the current DataSource semantic does
not provide explicitly for deletion.

The concrete DataSources in Kettle provide support for HTTP endpoints (with a particular variety specialised for
accessing CouchDB databases with CRUDlike semantics) as well as the filesystem, with an emphasis on JSON payloads.

The DataSource API is drawn from the following two methods – a read-only DataSource will just implement `get`, and a
writeable DataSource will implement both `get` and `set`:

```javascript
/* @param directModel {Object} A JSON structure holding the "coordinates" of the state to be read -
 * this model is morally equivalent to (the substitutable parts of) a file path or URL
 * @param options {Object} [Optional] A JSON structure holding configuration options good for just
 * this request. These will be specially interpreted by the particular concrete grade of DataSource
 * – there are no options valid across all implementations of this grade.
 * @return {Promise} A promise representing successful or unsuccessful resolution of the read state
 */
dataSource.get(directModel, options);
/* @param directModel {Object} As for get
 * @param model {Object} The state to be written to the coordinates
 * @param options {Object} [Optional] A JSON structure holding configuration options good for just
 * this request. These will be specially interpreted by the
 * particular concrete grade of DataSource – there are no options valid across all implementations
 * of this grade. For example, a URL DataSource will accept an option `writeMethod` which will
 * allow the user to determine which HTTP method (PUT or POST) will be used to implement the write
 * operation.
 * @return {Promise} A promise representing resolution of the written state,
 * which may also optionally resolve to any returned payload from the write process
 */
dataSource.set(directModel, model, options);
```

## Simple example of using an HTTP dataSource

In this example we define and instantiate a simple HTTP-backed dataSource accepting one argument to configure a URL
segment:

```javascript
var fluid = require("infusion"),
    kettle = require("../../kettle.js"),
    examples = fluid.registerNamespace("examples");

fluid.defaults("examples.httpDataSource", {
    gradeNames: "kettle.dataSource.URL",
    url: "http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/%postId",
    termMap: {
        postId: "%directPostId"
    }
});

var myDataSource = examples.httpDataSource();
var promise = myDataSource.get({directPostId: 42});

promise.then(function (response) {
    console.log("Got dataSource response of ", response);
}, function (error) {
    console.error("Got dataSource error response of ", error);
});
```

You can run this snippet from our code samples by running `node simpleDataSource.js` from
[examples/simpleDataSource](../examples/simpleDataSource) in our samples area.
This contacts the useful JSON placeholder API service at
[`jsonplaceholder.typicode.com`](http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/)
to retrieve a small JSON document holding some placeholder text. If you get a 404 or an error, please contact us and
we'll update this sample to contact a new service.

An interesting element in this snippet is the `termMap` configured as options of our dataSource. This sets up an
indirection between the `directModel` supplied as the argument to the `dataSource.get` call, and the URL issued in the
HTTP request. The keys in the `termMap` are interpolation variables in the URL, which in the URL are prefixed by `%`.
The values in the `termMap` represent either

* Plain values to be interpolated as strings directly into the URL, or
* If the first character of the value in the `termMap` is %, the remainder of the string represents a path which will
  be dereferenced from the `directModel` argument to the current `set` or `get` request.

In addition, if the term value has the prefix `noencode:`, it will be interpolated without any
[URI encoding](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent).

We document these configuration options in the next section:

## Configuration options accepted by `kettle.dataSource.URL`

            Supported configurable options for a kettle.dataSource.URL

            Option Path
            Type
            Description

            writable
            Boolean (default: false)
            If this option is set to true, a set method will be fabricated for this
                dataSource – otherwise, it will implement only a get method.

            writeMethod
            String (default: PUT)
            The HTTP method to be used when the set method is operated on this writable DataSource
                (with grade fluid.dataSource.writable). This defaults to PUT but
                POST is another option. Note that this option can also be supplied within the
                options argument to the set method itself.

            url
            String
            A URL template, with interpolable elements expressed by terms beginning with the %
                character, for the URL which will be operated by the get and set methods of
                this dataSource.

            termMap
            Object (map of String to String)
            A map, of which the keys are some of the interpolation terms held in the url string,
                and the values will be used to perform the interpolation. If a value begins with %,
                the remainder of the string represents a
                path
                into the directModel argument accepted by the get and set
                methods of the DataSource. By default any such values looked up will be

                URI Encoded before being interpolated into the URL – unless their value in the termMap is
                prefixed by the string noencode:.

            notFoundIsEmpty
            Boolean (default: false)
            If this option is set to true, a fetch of a nonexistent resource (that is, a
            nonexistent file, or an HTTP resource giving a 404) will result in a resolve with an empty
            payload rather than a reject response.

            censorRequestOptionsLog
            Object (map of String to Boolean) (default:
                {auth: true, "headers.Authorization": true})

            A map of paths into the
                request options which should be censored from appearing in logs. Any path which maps to true
                will not appear either in the logging output derived from the request options parsed from the url
                or the url itself.

            components.encoding.type
            String (grade name)
            A kettle.dataSource.URL has a subcomponent named encoding which the user can
                override in order to choose the encoding used to read and write the model
                object to and from the textual form in persistence. This defaults to
                kettle.dataSource.encoding.JSON. Other builtin encodings are
                kettle.dataSource.encoding.formenc operating HTML
                form
                encoding and kettle.dataSource.encoding.none which applies no encoding.
                More details in Using Content Encodings with a
                DataSource.

            setResponseTransforms
            Array of String (default: ["encoding"])
            Contains a list of the namespaces of the transform elements (see section
                transforming promise chains that are to be applied if there
                is a response payload from the set method, which is often the case with an HTTP backend.
                With a JSON encoding these encoding typically happens symmetrically - with a JSON request one will
                receive a JSON response - however, with other encoding such as
                form
                encoding this is often not the case and one might like to defeat the effect of trying to decode
                the HTTP response as a form. In this case, for example, one can override
                setResponseTransforms with the empty array [].

            charEncoding
            String (default: utf8)
            The character encoding of the incoming HTTP stream used to convert its data to characters - this will
                be sent directly to the
                setEncoding
                method of the response stream

            invokers.resolveUrl
            IoC Invoker
                (default: kettle.dataSource.URL.resolveUrl)
            This invoker can be overridden to customise the process of building the url for a dataSource request.
                The default implementation uses an invocation of
                fluid.stringTemplate
                to interpolate elements from termMap and the directModel argument into the
                template string held in url. By overriding this invoker, the user can implement a
                strategy of their choosing. The supplied arguments to the invoker consist of the values
                (url, termMap, directModel) taken from these options and the dataSource request arguments,
                but the override can replace these with any IoC-sourced values in the invoker definition.

In addition, a `kettle.dataSource.URL` component will accept any options accepted by node's native
[`http.request`](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback) constructor – supported in
addition to the above are `protocol`, `host`, `port`, `headers`, `hostname`, `family`, `localAddress`, `socketPath`,
`auth` and `agent`. All of these options will be overriden by options of the same names supplied as the `options` object
supplied as the last argument to the dataSource's `get` and `set` methods. This is a good way, for example, to send
custom HTTP headers along with a URL dataSource request. Note that any of these component-level options (e.g. `port`,
`protocol`, etc.) that can be derived from parsing the `url` option will override the value from the url. Compare this
setup with the very similar one operated in the testing framework for
[`kettle.test.request.http`](KettleTestingFramework.md#kettle.test.request.http).

## Configuration options accepted by `kettle.dataSource.file`

An alternative dataSource implementation is `kettle.dataSource.file` - this is backed by the node filesystem API to
allow files to be read and written in various encodings. The interpolation support based on `termMap` is very similar
to that for `kettle.dataSource.URL`, but with the location template option named `path` representing an absolute
filesystem path rather than the `url` property of `kettle.dataSource.URL` representing
a URL.

Exactly the same scheme based on the subcomponent named `encoding` can be used to control content encoding for a
`kettle.dataSource.file` as for a `kettle.dataSource.URL`. Similarly, `kettle.dataSource.file` supports
a further option named `charEncoding` which can select between various of the character encodings supported by node.js.

            Supported configurable options for a kettle.dataSource.file

            Option Path
            Type
            Description

            writable
            Boolean (default: false)
            If this option is set to true, a set method will be fabricated for this
                dataSource – otherwise, it will implement only a get method.

            path
            String
            An (absolute) file path template, with interpolable elements expressed by terms beginning with the
                % character, for the file which will be read and written the get and
                set methods of this dataSource.

            termMap
            Object (map of String to String)
            A map, of which the keys are some of the interpolation terms held in the url string, and
                the values, if prefixed by % are paths into the directModel argument
                accepted by the get and set methods of the DataSource.

            charEncoding
            String (default: utf8
            The character encoding of the file used to convert its data to characters - one of the values supported
                by the node filesystem
                API - values it advertises include utf8, ascii or based64.
                There is also evidence of support for ucs2.

A helpful mixin grade for `kettle.dataSource.file` is `kettle.dataSource.file.moduleTerms` which will allow
interpolation by any module name registered with the Infusion module system
[`fluid.module.register`](http://docs.fluidproject.org/infusion/development/NodeAPI.html#fluid-module-register-name-basedir-modulerequire-)
 – e.g. `%kettle/tests/data/couchDataSourceError.json`.

## Using content encodings with a DataSource

`kettle.dataSource.URL` has a subcomponent named `encoding` which the user can override in order to choose the content
encoding used to convert the model seen at the `get/set` API to the textual (character) form in which it is
transmitted by the dataSource. The encoding subcomponent will also correctly set the
[`Content-Type`](http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/4_Content-Type.html) header of the outgoing HTTP request in the
case of a `set` request. The encoding defaults to a JSON encoding represented by a subcomponent of type
`kettle.dataSource.encoding.JSON`. Here is an example of choosing a different encoding to submit
[form encoded](http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#didx-applicationx-www-form-urlencoded) data to an HTTP
endpoint:

```javascript
fluid.defaults("examples.formDataSource", {
    gradeNames: "kettle.dataSource.URL",
    url: "http://httpbin.org/post",
    writable: true,
    writeMethod: "POST",
    components: {
        encoding: {
            type: "kettle.dataSource.encoding.formenc"
        }
    },
    setResponseTransforms: [] // Do not parse the "set" response as formenc - it is in fact JSON
});

var myDataSource = examples.formDataSource();
var promise = myDataSource.set(null, {myField1: "myValue1", myField2: "myValue2"});

promise.then(function (response) {
    console.log("Got dataSource response of ", JSON.parse(response));
}, function (error) {
    console.error("Got dataSource error response of ", error);
});
```

In this example we set up a form-encoded, writable dataSource targetted at the popular HTTP testing site `httpbin.org`
sending a simple payload encoding two form elements. We use Kettle's built-in form encoding grade by configuring an
`encoding` subcomponent name `kettle.dataSource.encoding.formenc`. You can try out this sample live in its place in the
[examples directory](examples/formDataSource/formDataSource.js). Note that since this particular endpoint sends a JSON
response rather than a form-encoded response,
we need to defeat the dataSource's attempt to apply the inverse decoding in the response by writing
`setResponseTransforms: []`.

## Built-in content encodings

Kettle features three built-in content encoding grades which can be configured as the subcomponent of a dataSource
named `encoding` in order to determine what encoding it applies to models. They are described in this table:

|Grade name| Encoding type | Content-Type header |
|----------|---------------|----------------|
|`kettle.dataSource.encoding.JSON`|[JSON](http://json.org)|`application/json`|
|`kettle.dataSource.encoding.JSON5`|[JSON5](http://json5.org)|`application/json5`|
|`kettle.dataSource.encoding.formenc`|[form encoding](http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#didx-applicationx-www-form-urlencoded)|`application/x-www-form-urlencoded`|
|`kettle.dataSource.encoding.none`|No encoding|`text/plain`|

## Elements of an encoding component

You can operate a custom encoding by implementing a grade with the following elements, and using it as the `encoding`
subcomponent in place of one of the built-in implementations in the above table:

|Member name| Type | Description |
|-----------|------|-------------|
|`parse`|`Function (String) -> Any`| Parses the textual form of the data from its encoded form into the in-memory form|
|`render`|`Function (Any) -> String`| Renders the in-memory form of the data into its textual form|
|`contentType`|`String`| Holds the value that should be supplied in the
[`Content-Type`](http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/4_Content-Type.html) of an outgoing HTTP request whose body is
encoded in this form|

## The `kettle.dataSource.CouchDB` mixin grade

Kettle includes a further mixin grade, `kettle.dataSource.CouchDB`, which is suitable for reading and writing to the
[`doc`](http://docs.couchdb.org/en/1.6.1/api/document/common.html) URL space of a [CouchDB](http://couchdb.apache.org/)
database.
This can be applied to either a `kettle.dataSource.URL` or a `kettle.dataSource.file` (the latter clearly only useful
for testing purposes). This is a basic implementation which simply adapts the base documents in this API to a simple
CRUD contract, taking care of:

* Packaging and unpackaging the special `_id` and `_rev` fields which appear at top level in a CouchDB document
  * The user's document is in fact escaped in a top-level path named `value` to avoid conflicts between its keys and
    any of those of the CouchDB machinery. If you wish to change this behavior, you can do so by providing different
    [model transformation rules](http://docs.fluidproject.org/infusion/development/ModelTransformationAPI.html) in
    `options.rules.readPayload` and `options.rules.writePayload`.
* Applying a "read-before-write" of the `_rev` field to minimise (but not eliminate completely) the possibility for a
  Couch-level conflict

This grade is not properly tested and still carries some (though very small) risk of a conflict during update – it
should be used with caution. Please contact the development team if you are interested in improved Couch-specific
functionality.

## Advanced implementation notes on DataSources

In this section are a few notes for advanced users of DataSources, who are interested in extending their functionality
or else in issuing I/O in Kettle by other means.

### Transforming promise chains

The detailed implementation of the Kettle DataSource is structured around a particular device taken from the Infusion
Promises library, the concept of a
["transforming promise chain"](http://docs.fluidproject.org/infusion/development/PromisesAPI.html#fluid-promise-firetransformevent-event-payload-options-).
The core DataSource grade implements two events, `onRead` and and `onWrite`. These events are fired during the `get` and
`set` operations of the DataSource, respectively.
These events are better described as "pseudoevents" since they are not fired in the conventional way – rather than each
event listener receiving the same signature, each instead receives the payload returned by the previous listener – it
may then transform this payload and produce its own return in the form of a promise. Any promise rejection terminates
the listener notification chain and propagates the failure to the caller. The DataSource implementation in fact fires
these events by invoking the
[`fireTransformEvent`](http://docs.fluidproject.org/infusion/development/PromisesAPI.html#fluid-promise-firetransformevent-event-payload-options-)
function from Infusion's Promises API.

The virtue of this implementation strategy is that extra stages of processing
for the DataSource can be inserted and removed from any part of the processing chain by means of supplying suitable
event [priorities](http://docs.fluidproject.org/infusion/development/Priorities.html) to
the event's
[listeners](http://docs.fluidproject.org/infusion/development/InfusionEventSystem.html#registering-a-listener-to-an-event).
Both the JSON encoding/decoding and CouchDB wrapping/unwrapping facilities for the DataSources are implemented in
terms of event listeners of this type, rather than in terms of conditional implementation code. This is a powerful and
open implementation strategy which we plan to extend in future.

### Callback wrapping in DataSources

It's important that Kettle's inbuilt DataSources are used whenever possible when performing I/O from a Kettle
application, since it is crucial that any running implementation code is always properly contextualised by its
appropriate [request component](RequestHandlersAndApps.md#request-components). Kettle guarantees that the
[IoC context](http://docs.fluidproject.org/infusion/development/Contexts.html) `{request}` will always be resolvable
onto the appropriate request component from any code executing within that request. If arbitrary callbacks are supplied
to node I/O APIs, the code executing in them will not be properly contextualised. If for some reason a DataSource is
not appropriate, you can manually wrap any callbacks that you use by supplying them to the API `kettle.wrapCallback`.

Geographically-spaced Synchronized Signal Detection System by Skip Crilly, New Hampshire Astronomical Society, February 8, 2019.
Skip Crilly gave this presentation to the New Hampshire Astronomical Society, February 8, 2019.
Abstract: Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is a confounding problem in radio SETI, as false positives are introduced into receiver signals. Various methods exist to attempt to excise suspected RFI, with a possibility that true positives are rejected, and that un-excised RFI remain as false positives. Uncertain far side-lobe antenna patterns add to the uncertainty. To ameliorate the RFI problem, a system having geographically-spaced simultaneous and synchronized reception has been implemented. A radio telescope at the Green Bank Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia has been combined with a radio telescope of the Deep Space Exploration Society, near Haswell, Colorado to implement a spatial filter having a thrice-Moon-distance transmitter rejection. Approximately 135 hours of simultaneous synchronized pulse observations have been captured from November 2017 through February 2019. This presentation describes the problem, observation system, observed results and a proposed hypothesis to be subjected to attempts at refutation through further experimentation and RFI and ETI transmitter signal model development.

Opinion Analysis
Self-regulation not the answer for EMS
By: Alex Forrest
Posted: 12/2/2016 3:00 AM
Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/12/2016 (1509 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Manitoba government recently announced it is moving forward with a consultation initiative to bring forward paramedic self-regulation to the province. We are grateful to Health Minister Kelvin Goertzen for allowing us to be involved in these discussions. While we will endeavour to participate in the process, we feel it's important to register our concerns, particularly as the current EMS system in Winnipeg serves as a model for other cities to emulate.
Manitoba is staffed with dual-trained and provincially licensed firefighter-paramedics in Winnipeg, Brandon and Thompson. It is important to emphasize that these firefighter-paramedics are involved in 80 per cent of the total number of emergency medical calls received in Manitoba's three largest cities every year.
In Brandon and Thompson, the fire departments provide all emergency medical care for their citizens and large surrounding areas. In fact, those departments' firefighter-paramedics provide every part of the emergency medical response system: from dispatch, to advanced medical care and ambulance transport to the hospital.
Here in Winnipeg, our 40 fire trucks are staffed, in part, by nearly 430 firefighter-paramedics. These crews responded to approximately 48,000 EMS calls last year, of which 12,000 were run by firefighter-paramedics only without an ambulance response. More than half of our licensed paramedics have at some point worked on either rural or city ambulances. These rank-and-file firefighters would be working on these trucks even if we did not attend one EMS call — they are not extra staff. We make use of current resources as a way to allow our system to be financially sustainable. We work closely with the well-trained ambulance-based paramedics, approximately half of whom are trained to the advanced care level, and who subsequently provide transport.
We are proud of our important paramedic role in Manitoba, and as representatives of more than 550 licensed firefighter-paramedics, we respectfully disagree with our ambulance brothers and sisters in the Manitoba Government and General Employees' Union, and the Paramedic Association of Manitoba on the value and need for self-regulation at this time. Our concerns are based on the fact that we have a tremendously successful EMS system in Winnipeg, Thompson and Brandon, and self-regulation will create another level of bureaucracy. This is needless and costly. It seems the problems in rural EMS delivery are driving this process and self-regulation will not address those issues.
Our EMS system in Winnipeg is looked at by many cities in Canada as a model for patient care and financial sustainability. We continually poll as one of the most respected professions in Winnipeg, and our citizen satisfaction levels are always in the high 90s. We believe we have tremendous leadership and medical oversight in Winnipeg under emergency care specialist and WFPS medical director Dr. Rob Grierson, as well as Fire Paramedic Chief John Lane. Both are highly respected in their fields.
The 2013 Provincial EMS Report states: "The current medical director has been in this position for a decade and during that time has developed a very complete and effective medical oversight system."
We will work with the provincially appointed consultant Reg Toews to look at ways we can move forward with self-regulation while still protecting the systems in Winnipeg, Brandon and Thompson. We need to be perfectly clear that we have nothing but respect for ambulance paramedics in the province and, in fact, are a vocal supporter of our rural counterparts. We have been vocal on the belief that our rural ambulance paramedics have substandard wages and that benefits and their working conditions need to be brought up to the levels we enjoy in Winnipeg. We continuously hear this from the many firefighter-paramedics who have, and continue to work for rural EMS departments.
One thing that's clear is that self-regulation for paramedics will not help our rural ambulance brothers and sisters in the areas of wages and working conditions. We believe the people responsible for the well-being of our rural paramedics should concentrate on those priorities at this time in light of recent announcements that the provincial government is entering a period of austerity and "wage pauses" for provincial workers.
At the end of the day, our position is clear: we want to continue delivering the best medical care model for the citizens of Manitoba. Self-regulation will not fix the major issues in rural Manitoba EMS delivery and will negatively affect our system by creating another level of needless bureaucracy.
Alex Forrest is the captain of the Winnipeg Fire Department, president of the United Firefighters of Winnipeg and the Canadian trustee of the International Association of Firefighters.

How Lou Reed Created One of Rock's Most Hated Albums
Michael Gallucci
Hulton Archive, Getty Images
Lou Reed's relationship with the rock 'n' roll press was never an easy one. After the release of Metal Machine Music in July 1975, it was much, much worse.
Time hasn't healed, salvaged, redeemed or vindicated the album in the decades since its release. It's just as abrasive, confrontational, controversial and difficult to listen to now as it was then. It didn't sound ahead of its time in 1975, and it sure doesn't sound ahead of its time now. Metal Machine Music sounds like a self-indulgent mess designed with one purpose in mind: To piss people off.
Reed was getting pretty good at it by the time he went into the studio to record his fifth solo album. Even as far back as the mid-'60s, when he was leading the Velvet Underground, Reed seemed to take a perverse delight in pushing people's buttons. He wrote songs about cross-dressers, drug addicts and S&M enthusiasts while most of his contemporaries were still hooked on "yeah, yeah, yeah."
But Metal Machine Music was something totally different, a 65-minute, double-LP's worth of guitar distortion and feedback divided into four equal sections that made zero concessions for pop, rock or any other music's traditional playbooks.
Did Reed make the album to piss off his record company, which he owed an album to? Maybe. That's certainly one plausible explanation for the racket displayed on the album's four sides. Also more than likely, however, is that Reed was once again testing the limits of his audience. That included the music press, with whom he'd had a tumultuous relationship from the start.
Between physical altercations and confrontational interviews, Reed was no stranger to duking it out with critics and writers. His previous album, 1974's Sally Can't Dance, was his only Top 10 LP. But its commercial success didn't mean the album received generally positive reviews (it didn't) or keep his record company happy: They insisted on a quick follow-up, hence Metal Machine Music.
Listen to Lou Reed Perform an Excerpt From 'Metal Machine Music'
The arrival of this project made matters worse on all accounts: It was the only Reed album not to crack the Top 200, until 2003's The Raven. It caused a rift between Reed and the industry, especially his label – almost all of the major labels, in fact. And it was immediately called one of the worst albums ever made.
Reed recorded Metal Machine Music entirely by himself, manipulating the tape speeds and pitch of various bits of guitar feedback, which were cycled through reverb, distortion and other amp-assisted sound effects. The result was a noise collage that worked in everything from classical to electronic to avant-garde influences. It wasn't music, and it sure wasn't listenable on any sort of level.
Even still, it's a mildly interesting work, part-noise experiment and part-fuck you, and a highlight (or lowlight, depending on your perspective) of contentious artist-fan relations. Only the most strong-willed listeners are capable of making it through even five minutes without a skull-crushing migraine creeping up. And there's no reward waiting at the end of Metal Machine Music, if you do make it all the way through. You've heard one minute, you've pretty much heard it all.
Its legacy, then, isn't the music. Or even the line it sorta connects to Lulu, Reed's equally reviled 2011 collaboration with Metallica. It's not even its oft-cited influence on industrial-noise artists over the years. This remains the pinnacle of artist indulgence, creating work for the sake of his or her "art."
Metal Machine Music isn't a good album – not then, not now. Reed knew its problems and reputation or he wouldn't have spent so much time defending it over the years.
Whether or not Metal Machine Music was meant as a middle finger to Reed's record company, RCA ended up getting in the last word: Two weeks after the album was released, it was pulled from stores and deleted from the label's catalog. It would be more than 20 years before Metal Machine Music was available again.

TIP! Get an eyelash curler. When you curl your eyelashes, they will look fabulous.
Everyone wants to look their best. Certainly no one endeavors to look bad. There is a lot of beauty advice to improve one's looks out there to help. This article is tip central when it comes to looking your best.
TIP! In order to achieve fuller lips, use a white eyeshadow with shimmer just over your cupid's bow. The increase in fullness is an illusion that is created by the highlighted area of the lip reflecting light.
If you plan on going out on the town immediately after work, you can use a big fluffy brush to add a nice powdery finish over any oily places. Try playing up cheek bones with shimmer powder on cheeks.
TIP! Hazel and green eyes can be enhanced using coral or purple-colored eyeshadow. Colors such as lavender, pewter and purple, will enhance the gold and green in hazel eyes.
If you blow dry your hair you should use a "hot spray" before you start. Most discount stores and drugstores carry this versatile product that helps your hair dry quicker while also protecting against split ends. It locks in moisture and even smells fantastic!
TIP! Use hair products that are activated by heat when styling your hair using an iron or other heat tool. Heated hair appliances used on a daily basis can damage your hair, if you don't take the proper precautions.
Drinking water is one of the best ways to improve your skin's appearance. Water can help to purify and detoxify your skin from the inside out, and this process can help you attain luminous skin.
TIP! Instead of using expensive toners, moisturizers, cleansers, and exfoliants, try more simple methods, such as a soft washcloth, pure castile soap, Aloe Vera gel, and a mild toner. This is really all you need.
The sultry effects of shadow and liner will not be noticed if your eyes look red and irritated. Stow away eye drops in whatever bag you are carrying. These can be used for instant relief if your eyes are blurry from sitting at the computer or if they are dry from being in the sun.
Try to steer clear of taking baths or showers that are too hot. Hot water causes your pores to open and lets natural skin oils escape. Then these oils get washed away which will make your skin dry and unhealthy. Try tepid and warm water to keep your skin beautiful and soft. This will also save you money on heating bills.
TIP! Drink more fruit juice to have more beautiful skin. Fruits and vegetables contain the nutrients necessary for beautiful skin.
Unless you have the skin of a geisha, use matte blush instead of one that shimmers. Blushes with shimmer tend to highlight blemishes such as acne, scars, moles and bumps, making them far more obvious. Matte blushes, on the other hand, can camouflage blemishes, helping to give you the look of radiant, flawless skin.
TIP! Regularly consuming curry leaf chutney may prevent the growth of gray hairs. The chutney contains things your body needs to form the cells that product hair pigments.
If you are dieting and want to shed some excess pounds, pineapple is a great food to eat. Bromelain is the key ingredient for weight loss found in delicious and nutritious pineapple. This is a digestive enzyme that helps with the processing of fats, proteins and starches. Improving digestion can speed up your metabolism.
TIP! A cheap and simple way to clean your tub is with a kitchen sponge. Kitchen sponges clean bathroom surfaces as well as other types of sponges.
Beauty is a combination of interrelated factors. Healthy looking skin is one of the key elements of physical beauty. Many men and women fail to realize that following only a few simple rules can make a remarkable difference in their appearance.
TIP! You should always do an allergy test before putting on fake eyelashes. Test it on your arm first.
A loofah is a great product for you to use if you want to exfoliate. Loofahs exfoliate and freshen up your skin as they buff away blemishes, leaving you smooth and glowing. Using a loofah and a body scrub that exfoliates gives you twice the benefits! For the best effect, be sure to use your loofah twice a week.
TIP! Epson salts have many great benefits to yield beauty. Epsom salts have many health benefits like soothing sore muscles, and they can be used as a mild laxative.
Everyone wants to be seen as attractive. Many of us are often disappointed with what looks back at us in the mirror. There is a lot of information and many beauty options, but not a lot of effort is put into it. This article has given you a lot of advice on how to improve your beauty.

Julia Mancuso improves but U.S. women lag behind favorites in Altenmarkt downhill (video)
By joebattagliaJan 11, 2014, 7:23 AM EST
The women wearing the label of Olympic medal favorites definitely looked the part.
A challenge to that supremacy from the Americans is looking less like a sure thing.
Austria's Elisabeth Goergl and Anna Fenninger thrilled the opening crowd with a 1-2 finish ahead of overall points leader Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany and rising star Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein in the fifth downhill race of the World Cup season Saturday in Altenmarkt, Austria.
Meanwhile, the struggles continued for the U.S. women on the whole as they failed once again to reach the podium as the clock ticked to 27 days until the start of the Winter Olympics. There was a bright spot however, as Julia Mancuso put down some of her best skiing of the season and finished 13th.
The American women came into the season as the top-ranked speed unit in the world but have collectively looked lost throughout the first half of the World Cup and have fallen well short of lofty expectations.
Six U.S. women reached a World Cup podium in at least one speed event last season. None have done so this season, and two, Lindsey Vonn and Alice McKennis, are now out of Olympic consideration with knee and leg injuries.
The closest anyone has come to a podium was on Dec. 8 when Leanne Smith finished sixth in the super-G at Lake Louise on Dec. 8. Stacey Cook's best result is a 12th-place finish in the downhill in Lake Louise on Dec. 7. Mancuso's best effort in a speed event was her 17th-place finish in the super-G at Lake. Since the opening race of the season, the Beaver Creek downhill on Nov. 29, Laurenne Ross hadn't finished inside the Top 22.
At the outset, it didn't appear like things were going to be any better here. Smith and Cook, the first two Americans out of the gate, brought little speed off the steep opening pitch, scrubbed time on the first right hand turn, got no air off the hot-air jump and carried little speed into the gliding flat sections. Cook finished 21st and Smith finished tied for 24th.
That brought up Mancuso, who might have seemed least likely to have a solid performance, especially after she spent Friday in the hospital tending to her younger sister Sara, who was injured powder skiing in Altenmarkt.
But Mancuso lived up to her reputation as a big-race performer and she raised her game. Showing no ill effects or distractions from her family ordeal, she flew through the top third and took speed into the technical mid-section. That enabled her to attack the critical lower half and cross with her best finish of the season.
"It was a good run," Mancuso told AP. "You can't expect to change everything in one run. Now I really believe I can win a race. I feel a lot better on my equipment. I skied positive the whole run and was trying to be confident."
Ross skied the super-G-like turns cleanly but the rest of her run was less-than aggressive. In paying the course such respect, she sacrificed time, finishing 22nd, which equaled her season's best.
For those looking for more-drastic improvement from the U.S. and not just baby steps, the reasons this performance could be taken as disheartening are two-fold. Firstly, there are only two downhill and two super-G races left until the U.S. Olympic team is selected on Jan. 26 and to quote Yogi Berra, "It gets late early out there."
Secondly, today's Kalberloch represented perhaps the closest replica to the Rosa Khutor Olympic course in Sochi that women will ski on the World Cup. It opened with a full 37-degree plunge out of the start, which gets skiers up over 70 miles per hour in four seconds, and featured big jumps and huge technical turns.
In places where the Americans had difficulties, their international counterparts thrived.
Goergl, the Vancouver downhill bronze medalist, was seen by Austrian media as being in danger of not being selected for the Sochi team. She erased those doubts in spectacular fashion today. While she wasn't clean at the top, she had beautiful turns through the shaded forest section and attacked the key lower half to take a victory which guarantees her Olympic selection by FIS criteria.
"I know I had a super run. That gives me satisfaction," Goergl told AP. "I am glad that I had a smooth run. Winning isn't the most important to me. What really counts is skiing well. I wasn't able to show that last year."
Fenninger, who had the fastest time in Thursday's lone training run, faced near disaster on the upper level when she hit a bump that nearly dumped her on her inside shoulder. But she recovered quickly, opened a half-second lead at the midway point and attacked the late turns en route to a lead she would later relinquish to Goergl.
The story was similar for Hoefl-Riesch, who didn't panic after making a couple mistakes in the early turns and continued to attack. She carried enough speed off the top to glide through the flats, making up time along the way. She nailed those final technical turns in the Panorama section and rocketed into the lead.
Weirather skied the first two thirds of the course even better than Hoefl-Riesch. She had the green light through the first three time intervals but took a bad line into the final long left-footed turn and lost all of her advantage, crossing .28 behind the German.
With the runner-up finish, Fenninger picked up 80 points to take the lead in the World Cup overall standings with 677 points, six more than Hoefl-Riesch and 18 more than Weirather. Hoefl-Riesch continues to lead the downhill standings with 325 points.
Racing will continue here on Sunday with the first super-combined competition of the season.

Hearing Sheffield-born and Royal Academy trained Sterndale Bennett playing his own First Piano Concerto Mendelssohn invited the young Briton to Leipzig not so much as a pupil but as a friend. From then onwards until Mendelssohn's death in 1847 Sterndale Bennett was often in that city breathing in the atmosphere of the Schumann-Mendelssohn milieu. It shows in his music although it lacks nothing in freshness and does on occasion push the envelope. For example amid the bright, sparkling and pointillist ebullience of The May Queen overture there are some remarkably predictive touches anticipating Dvořák. The Wood Nymphs with its cooling woodwind zephyrs also has its own, at first slow-pulsed, magic then gradually gains velocity and a devil-may-care zest that parallels the work of Weber in the overtures to Oberon and Euryanthe. The auburn autumnal tones of Dvořák 7 and Brahms 2 are there again in the much later Rhine-inspired Symphony in G minor from 1863. It's a work of considerable and enchanting delicacy with a sturdier tone asserted in the finale. It would make a pleasing counterpoise to Schumann's Rhenish symphony without quite that work's picturesque grandeur but with a more Weber-like chuckle. Another Rhenish work is The Naiades overture – an artefact of Sterndale Bennett's journey up the Rhine from Düsseldorf to Mainz in 1836. His downy-light Mendelssohnian hand is in evidence again but so also are those dramatic Weberian flourishes. Parisina is an earlyish work inspired by Byron's poem of the same name. Here a darkly Beethovenian hand can be discerned along with the usual pleasing Weber and Schumann stigmata. It is however more laboured than the other three overtures.
Lyrita have packed this enterprising disc with customary care and these otherwise unissued recordings are from late sessions in the early 1990s and are fully digital. Braithwaite draws smooth playing from his two orchestras. The notes are by David Byers. They are in English only and are a supportive complement to this German early romantic-influenced music from a desperately neglected era in England's musical history. Lyrita have already provided us with the piano concertos and those two discs should not be forgotten: SRCD.204 Piano Concertos Nos 1, 3; SRCD.205 Piano Concertos Nos. 2, 5. The Symphony has some competition; this time from Douglas Bostock on ClassicO where the coupling is one of Cipriani Potter's Beethovenian symphonies. The coupling dictates your choice and priorities. Fine un-clichéed music-making either way.

In Week 6 of the book, Life Makeovers, Cheryl Richardson discusses the concept of energy drains and invites you to take action to stop up the drains in your life. When I look around my desk and computer right now, I can see piles of energy drains everywhere: stuff I've put off, papers I need to file, work that needs doing, half finished projects awaiting attention, letters needing responses, all within just a meter around me. When I step away from my computer there are other energy drains like the needs of my family, the dirty dishes in the sink, a house that needs cleaning, and other people and things that seem to want more of me than I can really give. All of these things seem to hook their power lines into me. Instead of charging me, they are sucking away my energy.
What are you hanging onto in your life? What seems to be constantly tugging at your sleeve? At our first meeting, Lucy Laketer shared her Cosmic Pick quote that read, "What you resist, persists!" She had been agonizing over a project at work that she really didn't want to do. For weeks it sat on her desk until it seemed to create its own persona, staring over her shoulder while she worked, taking up space on her desk with its presence, and making her feel guilty and tense every time she came near her desk. We all have these things around us that seem to take on their own personality that would go away if we only dealt with them.
Cheryl explains that when you "finally let go of the past or handle the items that cause you anxiety, that action alone can have a dramatic positive impact on your life." When I started this process, I realized that I didn't have to be superwoman. I hired someone to come in every two weeks to clean my house thoroughly. Hand-washing our clothing for months, I finally figured out how to have it picked up and washed, delivered to my door all clean and folded. The discovery of grocery delivery here…well, I will probably miss that the most when I leave! My husband often works 12 hour days, so instead of trying to fix a dinner at nine at night, we agreed to have our main meal for lunch and only warm some veggies up in the late evenings, which eased the stress level of fixing food and eating so late. Obsessed with email for YEARS, I used to check it every few hours. I finally decided to only check it once a day, then finally every other day unless I had a project in the works. I hadn't realized it took so much of my time and energy!
These small things suddenly freed up more time that I could dedicate to more constructive things like my own work. I felt better, stronger, and actually healthier when I made time for myself by taking a few time saving steps.

By now you've probably heard the news that WordPress 3.0 is officially launched. So should you upgrade? In most cases…not yet.
First, as with any new software release, there are bugs, and WordPress has historically discovered security issres with new releases. For example 2.9.1 was released just a few days after 2.9. The reason was due to a security issue discovered by a user.
Second, if you are a WishList Member user DO NOT UPGRADE AT THIS TIME. I highly recommend you wait for them to thoroughly test their plugin with the new version before making the change. Since WishList is critical to your business you don't want to take any chance here.
I've been playing with it on a development site since the early beta versions and am very impressed with the new functionality. Particularly the new navigation system that was donated by Woo Themes. It's very cool and a welcome addition to any site.
I did it on this site just to test it in a live environment. So far it's working fine, but let me be the pioneer on this one.
If you have a private client account on this site, please let us know if you have any problems accessing your content and private pages. Just use the client support form to submit your issues.
As soon as WishList Member gives the new version their blessing I will send an e-mail. If we manage your site for you, then you will be upgraded automatically.


In 1912 Dr. Rudolf Steiner (1861 – 1925) an Austrian initiate, scientist, artist and philosopher, brought a new art of movement into existence on the foundation of Anthroposophy.
Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge, which changes one's whole outlook on life. A new world of consciousness opens up. "Anthropos" in Greek means the human being, striving through the inner wisdom or consciousness, "Sophia", to receive the wisdom or universal consciousness.
Dr. Steiner talks of Anthroposophy as having its roots in the perceptions already gained in the spiritual world. The branches, leaves, blossoms and fruits of Anthroposophy grow into all fields of human life and action.
Anthroposophy has touched and enhanced, bringing new light of consciousness, into every field of life, from education, curative education, arts and science, to medicine, architecture, social science, bio-dynamic farming and a new art of movement called Eurythmy.
The new art is not a dance, nor a mime, but an art of movement, making visible the "Eu" – beauty and harmony of sound in speech and music – and creating a new health giving rhythm in the organism. Eurythmy is speech and music made visible through conscious movements of the limbs. Eurythmy uses for its expression the most flexible of all instruments, the human body. Eurythmy knows no limitations in its possibility for the development of body, mind and soul.
One can perceive the human organism as micro cosmos, mirroring or containing the macro cosmos. Through Eurythmy one attempts to make the very working of these laws visible. As Paracelsus (1494 – 1544) a Swiss mystic and doctor says: "The human being is a spread out macro cosmos and the micro cosmos is a condensed human being." Each part and particle in nature is a sound and the human being – The WORD!
Sounds contain wisdom, laws and mystery of the universe. Sounds made visible through conscious movement of the limbs in Eurythmy, make these very laws more real and unlock, step by step, the dynamic force behind the tangible world. These are the very forces, which are working in us, sustaining our organism. The very fabric of our being is created by the formative forces of the cosmos. The whole universe is created out of sound, with its seed in OM or AUM. Upanishad says: "Brahma begins creation". It means the whole creation comes out of sound. OM is the universe.
Every organ, every breath we take and even a single thought is in relationship to the dynamic forces around us. Our roots are in the universe, mirroring the undying spirit behind our individuality, giving us the power to strive over and above our physical boundaries. With this in mind, every sound made visible works therapeutically. Each sound is in tune with the health giving formative forces working in our organs, in our organism, in our very breathing.
Invoking these sounds, activating them through the movements of Eurythmy, we strengthen a general feeling of wellbeing. Not only that, but Eurythmy is differentiated, since sound is also differentiated in its structure, and the process of its unfolding is highly curative for any particular illness, be it of the psychosomatic kind, chronic or acute.
At the same time, when one experiences the sound through the movement with full attention, one is striving step by step to unlock the mystery, the beauty and the wisdom of the universe. Yet the most difficult of all instruments of the world – the human body – is not so easy to play in tune and harmony with the world around us. That is why the average human being is not able to hold the full impact of this dynamic force all at once. This way, we are protected by the Guardian of our Threshold, since any short cut may prove to be harmful. It is a step by step process to lift the veil of Isis, the Reality behind the veil of Maya. This Reality is the very fabric of our organism. When sound is made visible, one comes nearer to the essence which lies behind the existence.
Dr. Steiner has developed Eurythmy along a three fold aspect. Firstly, as a performing art, secondly pedagogical, as group Eurythmy for children and adults, and thirdly, therapeutically as curative Eurythmy in Rudolf Steiner clinics, hospitals, institutions and homes. Dr. Steiner has given innumerable indications for Curative Eurythmy for innumerable physical and mental problems. These curative exercises have to be done under the doctor's guidance, otherwise the same could be harmful if given without proper guidance or responsibility. Through Eurythmy one experiences health in its totality, since the apth of working consciously for health is also a path of knowledge.
The three soul functions of thinking, feeling and will activity, represented by the central nervous system, the rhythmical system and the metabolic-digestive system, overcome the darkness of one-sidedness, bringing these three main systems into one whole. Thus, health means "making whole".
One repeats the movements, bringing full attention to what one is doing, with open eyes and breathing according to one's own normal rhythm. Never stress, hold or strain the breath, nor any particular thought, but bring your full attention to whatever movement you are practicing. I had my training in Dornach, a town near Basle in Switzerland, which houses the University of Spiritual Sciences, known as the "Goetheanum". Complete study to become a curative Eurythmist can extend upto six years of sound study, which also includes subjects like speech formation, painting, sculpturing, geometry and basic study of anatomy and physiology with its dynamic functioning in the organism. I would be side stepping if I were to describe the study of the dynamic functioning as well, because that includes the subtle members of the physical body like the etheric body, the astral body and the higher Ego, as well as the five elements (panchabhuta) and the twelve senses (five gross and seven subtle).
Another point to be followed is to bring one's attention only on the movement one is doing, breathing normally. Do not close your eyes unnecessarily, nor try to breathe according to the Eurythmical movement. Also do not utter the sound because when you move the sound, you are the sound. So please keep your mouth closed whilst doing Eurythmy. The whole organism is thinking, feeling and willing at the same time. No background music is necessary for any extra support, since one's attention gets divided. Wait at least for an hour after meals, otherwise no definite time is imposed. Be free to chart out your own time when you do your exercises. Also the duration of the exercise should be kept free. Do not "overdose". About ten to twenty minutes, three to five times a week, continue to practise for six to seven weeks. Thereafter, take a break from the exercises for one and a half to two weeks. You may start again, if you wish, with the same exercises. Do all these movements slowly, not fast.
Through Eurythmy one becomes more sensitive, more ecologically conscious and more aware of one's self and of the environment in general, forming a deep connection to whatever one is doing in everyday life. Eurythmy does not try to manipulate one's destiny in order to seek a quick and easy way out of one's problems. Instead, Eurythmy tries to strengthen one's inner self, the individuality, to combat and overcome difficulties and not to push away any difficulty by some kind of strategy. Here the emphasis is on overcoming the pitfalls, potholes and stumbling blocks of destiny in order to create inner strength. To sum it up, Eurythmy is self-knowledge and self-purification.

Book Review: Broad Band
Broad Band: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet is a fascinating telling about the history of the women who were truly responsible for making computers and the Internet what they are today.
Whether you're interested in computers, engineering, the Internet and tech-savvy topics, or just a computer user; whether you're a feminist (I hope so!) or not; this book is for you. It's sad that I didn't know much of this history prior to reading the book, but boy, am I glad I happened upon it on a shelf at the library and snagged it.
(And let me just say, that title! What a great play on words.)

The Gender Gap in Newspaper Bylines
Last week, I came across a survey about the gender gap between male and female bylines at major newspapers across the United States. Newspapers surveyed included The New York Times, The Denver Post and The Chicago Sun-Times, and numbers were compiled from about 27,000 pieces of content produced during three months in 2014. The survey was engineered by the Women's Media Center.
The numbers were generally not great. Male bylines largely outnumbered female bylines at most of the newspapers surveyed, including a 68 percent to 32 percent gap at The New York Times.
You can access the full report here, but it really struck a chord with me. As a journalism graduate (hello, Buffalo State College, class of 2012), and a female in that subject, it's quite depressing to see the gender gap here, especially at some of the biggest newspapers in the country.
My curiosity was piqued, so I decided to undertake this project on a local level. For the month of June, I'll be looking at the daily editions of The Buffalo News and comparing the percentage of male bylines to female bylines.
For the first week of June, male bylines outnumbered female bylines by a margin of 354-155 at The Buffalo News. This is a massive gender gap, albeit in just a one-week timeframe. Male bylines outnumbered female bylines EVERY day, including 56-21 and 59-19 numbers on Wednesday and Thursday of that week.
In addition to tallying overall daily counts, I broke it down by section. M ales outnumbered females in EVERY section, aside from Sunday's special Home & Style/Travel section. Male bylines outnumbered female bylines by a 55-8 margin in the sports section, and by a 48-16 margin in the business section. In the "cover" section, which includes the biggest local news, as well as national and world news – often pulled from the wire and written originally by reporters from papers such as The Los Angeles Times – women were outnumbered 82-37.
Even in the opinion section, women were vastly outnumbered by men, by a 58-20 margin.
The section where female bylines appeared the most: arts & entertainment. But even there, male bylines outnumbered the female bylines by a 48-38 margin, including a 21-4 margin in Thursday's special "GUSTO" section.
For a full daily breakdown of the numbers, check out this PDF: Gender Gap TBN June 2015 Week 1.

Q: Название класса и пространство имен имею одно и тоже имя Допустим, у меня сборка содержит интерфейс и реализацию одного сервиса.
В итоге структура проекта выглядит так:
Dal->Models->SomeModel
Abstract->Services->ISomeService
Concreate->Services->SomeService
И хочется вот назвать сборку SomeService и корневым пространством имен сделать SomeService.
Все бы хорошо, но в других сборках приходится извращаться и писать полный путь к типу...
Вот как правильно выбирать пространство имен в таких случаях?

A: Ну, во-первых, класть один сервис в одну сборку это как правило слишком сильно переусложнять себе жизнь, но да, проблема понятна, тоже сталкивался с таким.
А во-вторых, решение простое: вместо того, чтобы корневым пространством имён сделать SomeService вам нужно назвать его Contracts (там где вы говорите об Abstract->Services->ISomeService), мы такие штуки отдельно собираем в пакеты на тимсити, это логично и понятно - контракты на это, на то. И вот там уже не так критично, один интерфейс или сто в контракте - главное, что имя подбирается легче. Ну вот у нас допустим одно из типовых правил - это CompanyName.ProjectNameContracts или CompanyName.ProjectName.SomeContracts
С Concrete у меня как правило вообще вопрос такой не стоит - всё запихивается в проект с именем Application, обычно нет нужды делать более чем одной реализации, но чисто гипотетически я могу привести пример на реализацию в Ef, Dapper, Ado: примените префиксы Ef, Dapper, Ado перед названием своего сервиса. То есть найдите то, чем различаются у вас эти реализации и это сделайте префиксом. А если реализация у вас пока/всегда одна - тогда используйте слово Default в качестве префикса по умолчанию.
Итого, предлагаю например такой вариант: сборку называем SomeService, в ней делаем папки/неймспейсы Models, Contracts и DefaultImplementation. (Можно и другие варианты вывести, это вот то, что сразу просится)
Кроме того, я много смотрел примеров на Mediatr и мне даже чем-то нравится иногда то, что дописываешь имя неймспейса и через точку имя класса, вот например я у себя экспериментировал:
один раз указан using:
using Transactions = Usol.Wally.Application.Transactions;

А потом в названиях пишем Transactions.List.Query или Transactions.Create.Command -- и это в принципе немного напоминает один из вариантов -- как если бы мы делали длинные уникальные имена тип CreateCommand или CreateTransactionCommand.
Так что иногда такие точки-разделители вполне нормально смотрятся, главное сгруппировать логично (у меня в этом примере сгруппировано не вокруг сервисов, а вокруг отдельных сущностей).

A: Нужно руководствоваться Framework Design Guidelines:
Names of Namespaces

DO NOT use the same name for a namespace and a type in that namespace.

Да, всё верно, не называйте неймспейс и тип тем же именем.
Шаблон для именования оттуда же:
<Company>.(<Product>|<Technology>)[.<Feature>][.<Subnamespace>]

В вашем случае, имхо, фичей являются сервисы. Значит пространство имён может выглядеть как-то так:
namespace IluxaCorp.IluxaProduct.Services

Внутри него определены интерфейсы, классы и подпространства моделей.

Верненское городское женское училище — женское учебное заведение, существовавшее в городе Верный.

История

Здание было построено в конце XIX века архитектором Павлом Гурдэ. Оно располагалось в гимназическом городке рядом со зданиями мужской и женской гимназий, мужского реального училища. Это было первое женское училище в Семиреченской области.

В 1899 году училищу было присвоено имя А.С. Пушкина в честь празднования 100-летия со дня его рождения.

В советское время в здании расположился самый первый в Алма-Ате Дом пионеров.

С 1950-х годов в здании была размещена Детская музыкальная школа №1 имени Амре Кашаубаева. Здание практически не перестраивалось, так как оно изначально строилось для учебных целей. Здесь производилось обучение игре как на классических, так и на народных инструментах, основаны детские хоровые коллективы, а также Академия вокала Алибека Днишева.

В начале 2010-х годов здание было продано в собственность сети ресторанов быстрого питания KFC и реконструировано. Фактически облик здания был полностью разрушен.

Статус памятника

25 марта 1985 года было принято Решение исполнительного комитета Алма-Атинского городского Совета народных депутатов № 6/123 «О включении в государственный список памятников истории и культуры города зданий «Казахконцерта» и музыкальной школы им. А. Кашаубаева». Решением предусматривалось оформить охранное обязательство и разработать проекты реставрации памятников.

25 ноября 1993 года стал частью Алматинского государственного историко-архитектурного и мемориального заповедника. На территории заповедника запрещено новое строительство. Реконструкция объектов возможна исключительно с разрешения Министерства культуры Казахстана.

10 ноября 2010 года был утверждён новый Государственный список памятников истории и культуры местного значения города Алматы, одновременно с которым все предыдущие решения по этому поводу были признаны утратившими силу. В этом Постановлении здание не было указано, так как фактически утратило свой архитектурный облик.

Picasso Museum of Barcelona
Blanquita Suárez
Barcelona, 1917
Donated by the artist, 1970
MPB 110.013
After leaving Barcelona in 1904, Picasso returned to the city on sporadic visits. In June 1917, Picasso arrived in Barcelona with Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and stayed for four months. The Museu Picasso houses a series of canvases from this Barcelona period – Harlequin, Passeig de Colom, Gored Horse – showing Picasso's interest in searching out new artistic sources and resources.
He would visit public spots in Barcelona, as he had done years earlier, with this oil painting being evidence of this – Blanquita Suárez was a famous comic singer at the time performing in theatres.
The canons of cubism are present in this work, seen in the intense colours and geometrical structure of the shapes connecting with works from 1915. Picasso achieves a rigorously constructed composition where he combines technical severity with the grace and spontaneity of capturing the moment.
The artist places the figure on stage, structured around acute arid geometric plans, where a well-thought-out tonal game creates a magnificent perspective.
The figure, holding a fan, also appears with superimposed plans, although the artist softens this aspect thanks to the use of more curved modulated lines to some parts of the body, combined with other more angular strokes creating a sensation of movement and dance that become one of the oil painting's most standout features. Black, brown, green and white dominate the saturated colours with some touches of violet.
In a painting created in Barcelona at that time and housed in the Musée National Picasso in Paris, there are outlines of a dancing ballerina who is probably Blanquita Suárez.

World of Goo Movie Editor (aka Goovie Maker) is a tool for making movies and animations.
You can create your own movies using your own original graphics and music, or just tweak an movie from the original game - or anything in between.
You will need to have purchased the full game. Windows Users, if you want to play your levels directly from the Editor (and you will want to), you also need to update to the latest version.
The full Windows installation package is available from the download page.
The first time you run World of Goo Movie Editor it will ask you to locate the WorldOfGoo folder you want to edit.
The Movie View area is a Tabbed Multiple-Document Interface (MDI), so you can have several moviess open at once, and you can switch view as needed. This also means you can copy and paste things from one movie into another (described in more detail later).
It will help you to create movies and find your way around if you have some understanding of how World of Goo (and hence the Editor) structures the movie data.
World of Goo plays a movie from a movie.binltl file (encoded binary) and a single resource XML file. The Editor uses an additional movie.xml file to store the movie information in "human-readable" form.
The XML files for a movie are called Movie and Resources (resrc).
Holds information about the actors (images and text) in a movie, and keyframe information for each which controls what they do and how they move and appear.
Holds a list of all the image and sound files used in the movie and gives each one an ID. This ID is then used to apply images/sounds to items in the level, rather than using their actual filename.
Each of these files is represented as a Tree View in the Tree Tabs panel. The tree begins at the top with a "root" item: movie or resources. All the objects in that file are listed as children underneath the root item. Open Image.
Some of these you can also change using your mouse (position, size, and rotation) by selecting and dragging objects in the level view. Others you will have to enter or select by hand in the properties pane.

Kids compete in calling ducks during Snow Goose…
Kids compete in calling ducks during Snow Goose Festival in Chico
PUBLISHED: January 31, 2010 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 14, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
CHICO — A whole lotta quackin" went on Saturday morning at the Snow Goose Festival.
Youngsters first learned to use a duck call, then competed to see who could call the best.
It was noisy.
Winners at the hour-long event got to keep a duck call.
Duck calls are used not only by hunters but also by bird watchers, especially those who photograph birds, said Marilyn Gamette, who was in charge of the contest. A Chico resident, she is retired from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

About 25 children competed.
Not only did the youngsters learn about duck calls, they also had the chance to see television personality Huell Howser, who was there to film and record the contest for his show "California"s Gold."
"Are you a duck caller?" he asked one child.
Two men acted as calling coaches: Jeremey Ashe, a Chico State University student who is studying waterfowl; and Bill Peters, a retired California Department of Fish and Game warden.
Peters told the children they needed to breathe into the calls from their chests, not just blow into them.
Ashe said he was using an award-winning duck call made by J.J. Lares of Chico. It cost him $140, he said.
"There"s a lot more to it than honking and quacking," Gamette explained.
Geese and ducks make a lot of different sounds, and callers need to learn how to imitate them, she said.
The calling competition was held at the Chico Masonic Family Center, headquarters for the Snow Goose Festival.
Jennifer Patten, coordinator of the festival, noted it"s the 11th year for the Snow Goose Festival of the Pacific Flyway, as it is officially known.
At least 2,000 people were expected to participate in the festival, which ran from Thursday through today, she said.
It included 46 field trips, in which people car-pooled out to the north valley"s wetlands to see the birds.
There were 19 workshops on such things as carving duck decoys, recording bird calls, the lives of bats, and volcanic activity at Lassen National Park.
The Masonic center was full of exhibits, displays and stations for hands-on activities.
"We"re celebrating the fact we have these incredible wintering waterfowl here," Patten said.
Hundreds of thousands — even millions — of ducks and geese and swans, at times, are here during the winter, she said.
Patten said she and five other people started the festival after they had talked about the Pacific Flyway and how it is "in our backyard."
