I've been really flattered to be asked to do half a dozen or so interviews recently for other websites and publications and one thing that's pretty standard in pieces of this sort seems to be questions on where one finds inspiration. I find that whatever other factors I mention, London is always the one I settle on most firmly, sometimes it's cafes or what people are wearing on the tube, but always present at the top of mind when I'm thinking about this is the architecture. We are so lucky in this city to have such a diverse cultural range of architectural styles. There are no grand boulevards of the nineteenth century like Paris here (though I feel slightly uneasy that the property market is beginning to socially cleanse the inner city population along the same lines of Paris 150 years ago).
One of the many architectural styles, and an endless source of inspiration for me, is Art Deco, and I have often snapped stunning examples of it in my Through The Aperture posts. I love how opulent and stylised it looks within our cities landscape, it's never zoned into neat rows like our American counterparts but dotted like so many gems amongst the more austere and historical. I've been passing quite a bit of it lately (with camera to hand) and even made a special trip to the Hoover building above and below which is currently a Tescos that's being renovated to become luxury apartments (well, of course). Look at these images above and below, they could be Miami or Palm Springs until you turn round and view the A40 in all of its congested London glory.
Despite the scaffolding and renovation, it's quite a site to see, I can't believe the Tesco branding which is completely unsympathetic to the surroundings (surprised they weren't at least forced to use the buildings key colours in the way you sometimes see with fast food outlets within areas of architectural note). This is one of quite a few Deco landmarks from our industrial past that line this corner of the A40, some have been demolished, but this is the one that always stands out to me as the jewel in the crown. We used to pass it on car journeys to Oxford during my childhood, and it was always one of the last winks of the urbane and sophisticated before leaving the city long behind.
For those of you that watched Mad Men (yes, I miss it too) this next building likely needs no introduction, it is the London office of the rival advertising agency McCann Erickson, who are forever trying to poach Don Draper in the series. Built in the 1930's, this simple Art Deco building stands in stark contrast to the rest of its settled gentile Bloomsbury surroundings. Excepting Senate House, it's the only grand Deco building I can think of in the area, hiding down a backstreet off Russell Square (and somehow never noticed during my student days) this quietly beautiful architectural gem makes my heart sing.
Next on my list to visit is The Strand apartments in Hackney which look really special, but for now I leave you with a building I drive past quite often on one of our routes to toddler play activities. Just on the outskirts of Croydon, near to the old airport (another Art Deco find) this building makes me smile every time I drive past it.
What are your favourite Art Deco spots in London? Or even architectural styles?


a. Screen manuscripts for editors. While every editor and every agent don't agree on which books should and can be published, editors take agent submissions seriously. We've already weeded out scam artists, crazies, spammers, and writers who refuse to research the market. And yes, the agent's unsolicited slush pile contains quite a few of these, um, gems. Our prescreening means editors can spend their time reading submissions that have a serious chance with their houses.
b. Talk to editors to stay up to date. Because of our access, agents can talk to a wide variety of editors to help us keep up with current needs. One Pub Board meeting can change the publisher's strategy and those without close access to the editor will unintentionally waste everyone's time.
1. At a conference, the agent is offering time and talent and guarantees you'll walk away with ideas and suggestions for improvement – unless your work is perfect, and then he'll say so. Considering the time and care the agent spends on a paid conference critique, no agent can make a living this way.
2. An agent reading submissions requested at a conference or unsolicited submissions to consider for representation makes no guarantee of any feedback whatsoever. You may not even get a response. (At our agency, we do try to respond.) An agency charging reading fees for all submissions indicates that a substantial portion of their income may be derived from fees instead of earned for what an agent is supposed to do, and that is, represent the interests of authors to traditional publishers.
b. Don't submit. I can't guarantee your work will be accepted when I send it but I guarantee no one will contract for it if they never see it. If your agent is too busy or overwhelmed to submit for you, find another agent.
c. Overcharge. Industry standard for books is 15% commission. The agent isn't paid until the author is paid.
d. Ask authors to pay expenses. Years ago, agents could legitimately charge for long distance phone calls, postage, and photocopying. But today, agents should be aware that authors are supposed to be receiving checks from publishers, not writing checks to agents. For example, authors should not be charged a monthly retainer fee, a marketing fee, or for an agent's travel.
3) Getting an agent automatically means my book will sell. We all wish this were true, but sometimes an agent has to market several of an author's projects before finding success. While you wait to hear from Project #1, work on Project #2.
4) My work will sell just like THAT with an agent. Like you, (and even the editors) we wish we could speed up the process, but most of the time we cannot. There may be some specialized exceptions, such as an agent has the right book for the right publisher at an opportune time and it's rushed to press. An example might be a political book addressing an election happening then. Otherwise, most books are perennial enough that the editor doesn't have to stop everything to publish them that moment. A thrilling story is always a thrilling story, an inspiring devotional collection is always an inspiring devotional collection, and an instructive self-help book is always an instructive self-help book.
What are myths you'd like to dispel about agents?
Have you ever run into agents whose practices you've questioned?
Thanks for the post, Tamela. Offering freelance writing services over the past ten years, I've come across a wide variety of situations. The most troubling relates to your point 2a, but goes far beyond it. A potential client approached me about proofreading his book so I provided a sample chapter proof along with my estimate. In the meantime he was contacted by his (vanity) publisher with a "special deal" for proofreading. In the end, they charged him somewhat less than I would have . . . but for inferior work. Extremely inferior. It made me sad for the author. He deserved better.
Ugh. Well, you can't be responsible for the poor decisions of any author. At least you know you are offering top-notch work to those who contract with you!
Thanks for this article and the truth telling about agents. There are many myths including that agents can help publicize a book–not their role from my experience but simply wishful thinking from an author.
The marketing people at the publishers do wonderful work!
> Have you ever run into agents whose practices you've questioned?
I kid you not, I found no less than seven spelling and grammatical errors in the opening paragraphs. And these were not minor issues where my opinion holds that it should read "X" and yours that it should read "Y." These were glaringly bad, middle-school level errors.
Keep submitting to top agents, Damon! I pray you'll find the right fit!
Thanks for such an informative post! I ran into one potential agent/publisher's rep at a conference whose house's practices I questioned. I had done my homework about the individual before I decided to pitch to him, but not enough about the publisher he represented. He invited me to submit a proposal package for the 12-wk women's Bible study I had written and taught, which I did; but then I did a careful study of the company web site and found a couple of misspellings/typos and grammatical errors. The response to my proposal was a request to put all the workbooks, all the handouts, the content of the carefully and artistically designed 25 PowerPoint slides for each lesson (I have formal and experiential background in art and graphic design), and the teacher's manual (I have a doctorate in teaching and learning) into ONE book for them to consider. That seemed totally impractical (and unsellable) to me. And I thought if they didn't pay attention to their own web site, they weren't likely to pay attention to the details of my project, either, even if I chose to do the massive restructuring they requested. I wrote a polite letter declining the opportunity.
My post was in response to the request for questionable practices–I realize the difference between a publisher's rep and an agent. However, it seems to me that a publisher's rep is a lot like an agent representing his company, instead of representing an author. Is that accurate?
Yes, and your experience shows why it's great to have an agent advocating for you with a publisher.
My first thoughts about agents were that they were judges holding a gavel ready to slam the desk with rejection. Haha! I later discovered it was my own fear that gave me tunnel vision. Agents are people with heart, people who desire to see authors and aspiring authors succeed. Finding an agent you can trust and work well with is important.
Goddesses are not infallible. Scripture tells us that they are demons.
Good thing I'm not a goddess, then!
It was so encouraging the read the comments before scrolling all the way down here to the reply box. Like the other authors on this thread, I've learned that agents are not super humans or some sort of dignitary we must put on a pedestal, although the hard-working agents should indeed receive a medal. An agent is as human as the next person. In fact, I enjoy talking with agents and editors; their sense of humor has got to be their comic relief. 🙂 Thanks for all you do for your authors and potential authors, Tamela!
And thank you, Tisha, for supporting my efforts on this blog!
I have it on good authority that all agents are really Wonder Woman and dress accordingly at work.
Which might look a bit odd for Steve, Dan, and Bob.
Andrew, have I mentioned recently that I really love your wit? No? Shame on me. Hope today is an easier one for you.
Judith, you just made my day! Thank you so much.
Tamela, thank you for sharing the myths. I'm laughing because looking from the vantage (or disadvantage) point of an author without an agent, proposals can be a scary proposition. Sure, not a goddess but one of the best and I love that you can see things from my side of the computer. Sometimes there is so much comment about how busy agents are (and I don't doubt this truth) that a newbie worries about being overbearing or pushy with emails.
I'm wondering how strongly I should be influenced by an agent's website when it's the company's site and does not solely belong to the agent? One side says the site indicates how an agent does business, but the other says I'd rather have an agent 'doing' the business than worrying about the website. It's a little disappointing to think an agency wouldn't have a web person to keep things up to date.
Also, I'd love to read about how much career guidance an author can hope for from their agent.
Barbara, one of the reasons I work with Steve is because he and I agree on how to run a business and how to conduct business, so anything he posts and says on the agency site meshes with my ideas. Because I'm not sure what agent and agency you're talking about, and I don't want you to go public here, I'm not sure how to address your concern except to recommend that you talk to the agent. If you are in disagreement with the agent's or agency's basic philosophy, I recommend looking elsewhere. If you are a little embarrassed to be associated with the agent's site or the agency's, go elsewhere.
I am in this for the long term and offer specialized career advice to each client throughout the client's career.
Of, course, Tamela, another reason you work with Steve is undoubtedly because of how cool he looks in his Wonder Woman costume.
These are excellent reminders to not make any assumptions about this part of the writing journey. The details help me to weave together themes from other posts. Thank you for another thoughtful post!
Thank you for reading and letting me know!
Tamela, the myth I'd like to dispel has to do with the length of time it takes to get a publisher, rather than an agent myth. The whole process reminds me of the gal who didn't want to get pregnant with twins because she didn't want to be pregnant for 18 months. Right now, I'm working on quads, with that mindset.
Thank you for this timely post, as many of us head to conferences soon and meet with agents, this is a great resource to have.
I have been learning these things, albeit in slow motion.
One myth that must be dispelled: unless you are a spectacular writer, expect the wait to be longer than what you want. You may never hear back.
Another: Unless you are a spectacular writer, do not rely on the agency to edit, so present your best work.
And yet, another. Do not expect the editing process to be quick, and do not expect that any contracts with agents/publishing houses to be a snap.
Oh. Last. Remember the song, 'Look What They did to my Song, Ma?' You may have killed your darlings. Expect the agents, editors (if you get that far), to kill more. Develop that rhino hide early.
I did say that was the last myth but I present this as more of a question than myth. Should a writer obtain the services of a reputable entertainment attorney, no matter who the agent or publishing house, and if so, prior to or after? An author told me, do. I've not heard anything from any other writer. And he said, do not pay for the attorney up front, they take 15-20% off the back of the book as well.
No need to get an entertainment attorney.
It's fine to share knee-jerk stuff with me WHEN I am already your agent. I want to know!
Hi Tamela. I'd heard that agents are more interested in the deal than you.
When I signed with Steve Laube, he pitched to 9 publishers. With every rejection that came back, he was genuinely disappointed – for us, and the book. Not the lost opportunity.
Then when HarperCollins/Thomas Nelson offered a debut contract, he was genuinely thrilled – for me, us and the book.
It makes a huge difference to you knowing that the people on your side in the industry really do care.

Q: Static Timing Analysis for I2C Could Anybody help in getting started on I2C signal Static Timing Analysis.
I just wanted to start with 1 single master slave combination. I have MPC8343EA as Master and TMP100 as slave.
I know the analysis should have two conditions read and write and not sure what parameters to consider.if I get the idea as to how to go about to analyse the write condition I could easily finish the read part.

A: To fully analyse a I2C bus timing wise, you need to know the physical differences between the clock and data channels, the value of the pullup resistor and the impedance of the driver driving the bus. If the channels for the clock and data are not the same, then you need to consider skew due to differences.
As I2C is open collector, with a pullup on the lines, the speed at which the line is charged and discharged varies, depending on the resistor values and the capacitance on the physical layout. This means that to get precise results in your analysis you need to have a fully routed board with a known stackup.
Your bus will charge the line up through a pullup, perhaps with a value of 2.6k to 10k (usually stronger the faster you need the bus to go) and discharge it through a mosfet in the MCU to ground. The mosfet might have a series resistance of 40 ohms, this is usually given in datasheets. If you know the logic trigger levels Vol, Voh, Vih, Vil you can find the timing at which you have valid logic levels.
You should notice that the information you have given is missing some of the most critical values that will decide whether your bus works or not. Any intentional or parasitic capacitance on the lines and the values of the pullup resistors are needed, along with the timings from the datasheets of the components.

Q: creating a datagridview form in c# I`m new to c# and windows form applications.
Right now, I want to create a Datagridview within my form, whose rows I want to fill with the properties of a business object. I followed the example from this msdn page: How to: Bind Objects to Windows Forms DataGridView Controls and created my own program, but instead of getting a similar result as in the msdn example I get a datagridview with three empty rows. What am I doing wrong? Here is my program:
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public class Form3 : Form
{
    private DataGridView dataGridView1 = new DataGridView();
    private BindingSource bindingSource1 = new BindingSource();

    public Form3()
    {
        this.Load += new System.EventHandler(EnumsAndComboBox_Load);
    }

    private void EnumsAndComboBox_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        // Populate the data source.
        bindingSource1.Add(new Test("bli", "bla", "blop", "ha", "ho", "he"));
        bindingSource1.Add(new Test("bli", "bla", "blop", "ha", "ho", "he"));

        // Initialize the DataGridView.
        dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
        dataGridView1.AutoSize = true;
        dataGridView1.DataSource = bindingSource1;

        // Initialize and add a text box column.
        DataGridViewColumn column = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
        column.DataPropertyName = "Name1";
        column.Name = "Name1";
        dataGridView1.Columns.Add(column);

        // Initialize and add a check box column.
        column = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();

        }
    }
}

A: You are binding columns to properties called Name from 1 to 6 but in your object there is no such properties. Change Name to Test. Ie
from this:
column = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
column.DataPropertyName = "Name6";
column.Name = "Name6";
dataGridView1.Columns.Add(column);

to this:
column = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
column.DataPropertyName = "Test6";
column.Name = "Name6";
dataGridView1.Columns.Add(column);

also as suggested by @noobob move your
dataGridView1.DataSource = bindingSource1;

to the end of method

A: "DataPropertyName" property of every column must match the name of a property of the data object being evaluated. So if you just make one tiny change like this:
column.DataPropertyName = "Test1";

everything should work.

A: The column.DataPropertyName should be set to the property names you specified in the datasource class. Try This :
    column = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
    column.DataPropertyName = "Test1";
    column.Name = "Test1";
    dataGridView1.Columns.Add(column);

    column = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
    column.DataPropertyName = "Test2";
    column.Name = "Test2";
    dataGridView1.Columns.Add(column);

    column = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
    column.DataPropertyName = "Test3";
    column.Name = "Test3";
    dataGridView1.Columns.Add(column);

Bulldogs show grit to earn first conference win
High School Basketball, Local Sports, Sports
By Chad Clinger - cclinger@aimmediamidwest.com
CRESTLINE — The weather outside on Friday evening was unbearable but the inside of Crestline High School was heating up as the Bulldogs boys basketball team played host to Mid-Buckeye Conference foes, the Mansfield Christian Flames.
In a game that was full of runs and back-and-forth play, it would be the hometown Bulldogs earning the victory on Friday by a final score of 66-55 over the visiting Flames. Crestline improves to 4-3 overall on the season and earned their first MBC win to move to 1-2 in the conference. Mansfield Christian falls to 6-4 overall and are 1-3 within the league.
The game started with a quick bucket by Kaden Ronk off of the opening tip and both teams were on the attack. By the end of the first quarter of play, the hosting 'Dogs led by a slim, 18-15 margin. Mansfield Christian, however, would respond with a huge, 22-point second quarter while holding Crestline to 13 to take the 37-31 lead into the locker room for halftime.
Mansfield Christian came out of the gate in the second half slightly sluggish and the Bulldogs wasted no time picking up right where they left off, outscoring the Flames in the third; 17-8 to move ahead 48-45 heading into the final eight minutes of action. Once again, Crestline kept the visitors from finding a rhythm and used an 18-10 final quarter to secure the victory.
In total, the game saw three ties and four lead changes with both teams posting long runs in the hopes of distancing themselves. Crestline's longest run of the evening was a 14-3 advantage while, at one point, the Flames outscored the 'Dogs 13-3.
Ty Clark was the top 'Dog on the evening for the home team, scoring 16 points to go along with eight rebounds.
Kaden Ronk, Max Anatra and Zach Gregory joined Clark in the double-digit scoring category. Ronk posted 13 points on the evening while Anatra and Gregory contributed 11 points apiece in the Bulldogs victory.
Other stats for Crestline on Friday were: 21/52 total field goals, 16/32 from the interior, 8/15 from the perimeter, 10/14 from the free-throw line, 36 total rebounds (11O, 25D), 16 assists, 1 block, 6 steals and 16 turnovers; Ronk- 4 rebounds, 3 assists; Anatra- 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal; Gregory- 3 rebounds, 1 steal; AJ Watkins- 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals; Davon Triplett- 5 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal; Kevin Winkler- 2 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and Caleb Hoskins- 1 rebound, 1 block.
Mansfield Christian had three players finish in double figures on Friday in the loss, led by 21 points from Kyle Kurtz. Ethan DeLaney chimed in with 13 points and Jared McPeek contributed 11 in the Flames efforts.
Other stats for the Flames: 21/52 total field goals, 14/31 from inside, 7/21 from outside, 6/9 at the line, 23 total rebounds (9O, 14D), 6 assists, 1 block, 9 steals and 13 turnovers.
A non-conference, road game at Western Reserve is up next for the Bulldogs squad on Saturday, January 6. The next home game will be played at Crestline on Thursday, January 11 when they play host to the visiting Wynford Royals.

The Hotel La Quinta Roja is located in the geographic centre of the Village of Garachico, surrounded by squares and constructions of the 16th century. The first House-Palace of the Marquess of La Quinta Roja in the 16th century, is today the Hotel La Quinta Roja. Exquisitely renovated, it conserves all its original enchantment, with rich decoration, corridors, balconies and viewpoints. In the Rural Hotel La Quinta Roja, one will discover a new form of hotel.
This was my 7th visit to this excellent hotel. It has a very relaxed atmosphere and wonderful friendly staff. It is situated in the traffic free centre of the village and is easy walking distance to several good restaurants. Highly recommended.

Q: c++ casting base class to derived class mess If I were to create a base class called base and derived classes called derived_1, derived_2 etc... I use a collection of instances of the base class, then when I retrieved an element and tried to use it I would find that C++ thinks it's type is that of the base class, probably because I retrieved it from a std::vector of base. Which is a problem when I want to use features that only exist for the specific derived class who's type I knew this object was when I put it into the vector.
So I cast the element into the type it is supposed to be and found this wouldn't work.
(derived_3)obj_to_be_fixed;

And remembered that it's a pointer thing. After some tweaking this now worked.
*((derived_3*)&obj_to_be_fixed);

Is this right or is there for example an abc_cast() function that does it with less mess?
edit:
I had to expand this into another question, the full solutions are shown there. stackoverflow.com ... why-the-polymorphic-types-error-and-cleanup-question

A: If you are using a vector of base then all your instances are base instances and not derived instances.
If you try to insert a derived instance, the object will be sliced. Inserting into a vector always involves a copy and the target type is determined by the type of the object that the vector holds. A vector cannot hold objects of different types.

A: If you store your objects in a std::vector<base> there is simply no way to go back to the derived class. This is because the derived part has been sliced of when storing it in an instance of base class (afterall your vector contains copies of your data, so it happily copies only the base part of your objectes), making the stored object a true instance of base class, instead of a derived class used as a base class.
If you want to store polymorphic objects in the vector make it a std::vector<base*> (or some kind of smartpointer to base, but not base itself) and use dynamic_cast<derived_3*> to cast it to the correct type (or static_cast, if its performance sensitive and you are confident enough that you are trying to cast to the correct type (in that case horrible things will happen if you are wrong, so beware)).

A: Most of the time you shall not need to do this.  A carefully designed class hierarchy can handle this by polymorphism (i.e. virtual functions).
If you really need to cast to the derived type, use dynamic_cast operator.

A: What you are trying to do is not even remotely possible. If the objects stored in your container have type base, then they are base, period. They are not derived objects, they will never become derived objects and they cannot be used as derived objects regardless of what you do.
Your cast through pointers is nothing than just a hack that reinterprets memory occupied by base object as derived object. This is totally meaningless and can only "work" by accident.


Happy new year! It's all about pottery (woo hoo!) for our next Ontario Archaeological Society Thunder Bay Chapter meeting - this Friday, Jan. 25 at 7:00 pm in Braun Building room 2002.
Bill Ross had a great idea to try something a bit different for our next OAS meeting - a discussion about Late Woodland Indigenous pottery and how it was made. We will screen a video, Rethinking Blackduck Pottery: Grant Goltz (about 50 mins.), about how this Minnesota archaeologist has perfected the steps in replicating Indigenous pottery through decades of practice. Then, we will follow up with a discussion about Blackduck ware and others with some of our resident pottery experts (Clarence Surette, Brad Hyslop, me, and other participants). In addition, we will share some of the replica artifacts that Grant donated to the Department of Anthropology at Lakehead University and of course real examples of pottery artifacts.
Description of the video by Lakeland PBS: "Experimental archaeologist Grant Goltz shares his theory (developed with others), of how precontact Indigenous people of our area made multi-functional Blackduck pottery, with a group of First Nations Women from Winnipeg, Canada. While Goltz's hands-on discoveries often don't gain acceptance with established academia in the U.S., his experience and knowledge is greatly respected across the border by our neighbors to the North".
As usual, the meeting is free and open to everyone. Hope to see you there!
1) Your Ontario Archaeological Society annual fees are now due and please sign up for our Thunder Bay chapter (a mere $5.00 on top of the main society fees).
2) The annual Lake Superior Basin Workshop is going to be held in Duluth at UMD on March 15-16 this year. Details to follow.


My Monday was off to a good start thanks to this bad boy!
Did you see that number next to the SDHP? The 55? THAT'S a number I could get on board with! Today's WOD focused more on speed and number of reps than PRing weight, so it was the first WOD in a while I actually stood a chance at RXing (RX means you complete the workout with the prescribed weight). Woo hoo!
I'm so glad I was in the group that started with the wall balls. Wall balls are tough and it helped to feel semi-refreshed thanks to the minute rest between each round. I averaged 20 wall balls per minute per round.
Next we the SDHPs which felt great at the semi-light weight of 55lbs, but were a challenge after the wall balls. We had no rest between each station and had to immediately dive in to the next set after the minute was up. I would pop out 10 or so SDHPs then feel exhausted and need to rest before finishing the set with 5 or so more reps.
The box jumps were another exhausting element, but easier to push out knowing it was just my body weight. We were told to carry an ongoing tally of reps for each round and the box jumps were generally where my brain turned to mush and I started to lose count.
The push presses were my least favorite of the day. I'm just not a fan of any strength training that requires the bar going over my head.
Last up was the rowing machine. One minute wasn't bad and I averaged 6 or so calories per round.
Yes, every other person will probably have an RX next to their name today, but it still felt good to see that RX next to my name (I think it's only the second time since I've been doing CrossFit!). It's the small victories that keep you moving, right?
I re-fueled post-CrossFit with a bowl of yogurt.
So refreshing, exactly what I was craving.
Time to kick this week off. Have a great Monday everyone!
I love the names of these WODs! I'm going to re-try CrossFit this spring with a new box, and hoping I get more into it (the price and coach turned me off when I first tried it out back in August).
Have a great Monday! I was just re-reminded to get back on that rowing machine!
I love fight gone bad! We did wallballs this morning, my first time back at the box after a week and a half off (which was spent in Costa Rica) and I'm already feeling it in my legs!! Great job on RX! It feels great doesn't it?
Sounds like an awesome WOD. I love box jumps. But always have trouble on the first one. After that, things go smoothly.
Great job on your RX'd workout! Your breakfast looks great as well.
Awesome job! Our box just did Fight Gone Bad on Friday, but I didn't make it to class that day 🙁 I did it a few months ago though and it's a doozie, but fun!
Everytime I see crossfit WOD I skip your post.
And I visit the site usually once per week HOPING there's a post about CrossFit. I love that you're doing it now too, and I love reading about your experience. It's nice to see a more mainstream life, food, health, fitness blog talking about CrossFit.
Wall ball is tough! We did 50 for time last week and I was exhausted by the end. I've been using the #10 ball but I think I am going to try to increase to #14 this week.
Love fight gone bad! Next time you have a # to beat and can strategize! Bravo on the Rx!
Did you get a new camera? Your yogurt bowl is looking especially BEAUTIFUL today!
Would you recommend Crossfit for GETTING in shape or should one ALREADY be in shape before attempting it? It looks so interesting and ever changing (like something that could keep my interest) but Im really afraid I couldnt do it.
I think it's great for both. Just as with any workout, the WODs are all completely customizeable to every person's fitness level. Most boxes also offer intro class for newbies who want to learn the rope before diving in.

By the way, you have to be in a good shape to be a swinger. In the same way, cuckold, which is another practice of BDSM sex, is only reserved for people in couples. You will therefore be perfectly at your place in a BDSM club. So do not hesitate to take the plunge with your partner, to boost your libido and rekindle the flame of your love. It is a practice that can bring you very close, provided you do not get lost on the way by developing feelings for other people.

What kind of practices can you indulge in in a BDSM club in Forest City?
Cuckolding is a practice that is becoming more and more common among BDSM couples in Forest City, NC. It consists of asking one's spouse to engage in sexual intercourse with a third person while observing the scene (cuckold). There is also another form, which consists in showing off his man's cock, or pussy, or his wife's big tits, to excite other people. This is the kind of practice that couples engage in during a libertine evening. We advise you not to try it if you are a beginner, because it is necessary if it really can give you pleasure, before going to the act.

Q: Accessing Band Set Information from Bing or Google maps? i would like to use Bing or Google hybrid Layers and perform spectral analysis on it. Ideally, I would access seperate Band Set Information as in Landsat or Sentinel data. Is that possible with Bing or Google hybrid Layers at specific locations? Alternatively, can I perform a spectral analysis on images from google hybrid and create multi Band raster from them?
Im a newbie to GIS and only need this application.

A: Google does sell add-on licenses for NIR data, see https://support.google.com/mapsdata/?hl=en . So whether it's possible depends on how much you want to pay, and you need to be US-based.
Why do you want google/bing imagery and not use sentinel data?

As a substitute of a bot, MassMessage inherits a subscription model based on
entries listed in wiki pages. This is a very fragile process, open to abuse
and user mistakes.
Open to abuse how? Wiki pages provide full accountability and transparency, unlike user preferences.
That said, catching/preventing user mistakes (or more directly: simplifying the subscription process) is the actual underlying bug here, I think.
A first step wold be very basic: subscribe to all notifications / unsubscribe
from all notifications.
I can't imagine any use-case for this. As far as I'm concerned, this is a non-starter.
A possible next step would be to allow subscriptions per "channels" or
"newsletters".
We already have this, it's just implemented via wiki pages instead of via user preferences. Perhaps something like [[mw:Extension:LogEntry]] or [[mw:Extension:InputBox]] could be adapted to make subscribing easier. Maybe. Unsubscribing would be tricky, though. A small JavaScript gadget could easily be written to make adding and removing users from a list easier, but that wouldn't solve the possible use-case of wanting to see (as a subscriber) every newsletter to which you are subscribed.
I don't think this is a MassMessage bug. Perhaps an Echo bug. Perhaps an "Extensions requests" bug. But this seems likely out of scope for MassMessage.

Unlike user preferences, anybody can edit the pages that MassMessage relies on. Sure, if someone deletes 60 entries this will be noticed, but the risk of having users doing small changes adding/removing someone else's entries is high.

3rd party MediaWiki with a bunch of users wants to send them notifications from time to time. Maye I didn't describe a correct first step, but the use-case responds to a real need.

It would be good to have a firm answer from the MassMessage maintainer(s). Currently MassMessage looks like the closest tool to deliver this needed feature. However, if you decide this functionality is out of scope then yes, we will need to find another way to do this.

I agree that the {{#target}} syntax is not very friendly to users, and could definitely be made better, but I don't think that preferences are the way to go.
from all notifications. A possible next step would be to allow subscriptions

I don't believe this fits MassMessage's model very well. Input lists aren't tracked by the extension, and can be created by any user at any time. Messages might be sent out once, or they might be sent out regularly.
If you want to let users sign up for all notifications, just create a central list, and transclude that list on individual lists for each "newsletter".
I think this kind of functionality belongs in Echo (bug 56362 or bug 56361), though I remember being told Flow was going to handle subscriptions...

This works both ways. Most wikis (anyone who isn't the WMF basically) don't keep logs of when a user's preferences change, so if a user sets it and then wonders why they're receiving the notification, there is no log available to verify it.
I know there were complaints of not being able to stop the Translation Notification Bot from posting on a user's talk page - only the user could change it in their settings.

I don't plan on adding a subscription ability to MassMessage via user preferences, nor do I think it makes sense for the extension. Echo is probably the closest to what I think you're looking for IMO.

Ok, thank you for the clear answer. This is a WONTFIX for MasMessage, then.
Fabrice, Maryana, do you think this request has any future in the context of Echo or Flow? Otherwise this would be a request for a completely new extension.

Yes, @Quiddity, that seems like the most reasonable approach to me as well. But let's please have the following user stories in mind from the start:
As a user, I want to be able to subscribe to a global newsletter that interests me, without having to visit a separate website.
As a user, I want to be able to see the most popular newsletters, or see newsletters of specific types (e.g. WikiProjects).
As a user, I want to find the most recent issue or a sample issue of a newsletter quickly.
Each of these seem important for the first release of such functionality:
Global newsletters facilitate discovery of content and updates from around the wiki-verse, and therefore we should not hide them away, but put them on equal footing with locally created newsletters.
Long lists become unwieldy, and simple classifications/tags and table-sorts help keep it manageable.
Sample issues are a good way to decide whether you want to subscribe to a newsletter. Each will tend to have its own landing page with its own navigation, which imposes cognitive load on the user to find information they will need to make an informed decision. We can eliminate that load by having a standard discovery mechanism for sample issues.
I understand Kunal's concern regarding the MassMessage extension as a possible foundation of this work. However, what Nick describes is definitely the direction I'd like us to go for newsletters. It seems likely to me that we'd want to share some code (for authoring/previewing messages, distributing via user talk, etc.), but perhaps not enough to justify bloating the MassMessage extension.
This isn't a WMF project yet, but let's think about the relative priority and complexity. It would IMO be a major win to improve Wikimedia-wide communications effectiveness across the board.
Qgil added a comment.Dec 3 2014, 10:30 AM2014-12-03 10:30:36 (UTC+0)
I really hope ths feature gets the attention it deserves. Our resources allocated in community communication, reader conversion, and editor retention keep growing, and I believe this would be a relative simple/cheap project in comparison, that would have a quick return of investment.
I have been pitching for it whenever someone was listening, not very successfully as you can see.
If nobody at the WMF will work on this anytime soon... Could we consider the possibility to have some contractor budget? I can also push it for a mentorship project or Individual Engagement Grant if I can get a technical mentor / code reviewer.

I think we should merge it as - we are declining this feature - only for 'now'. Once the extension matures, we might want something in the Special:Preferences too ( which might not be necessarily listing of newsletters - as it can get too lengthy to be in a single preference tab )

I'm going to close it as declined because the task started out as a feature request for MassMessage, and has since become a feature request for the newsletter extension. The task description refers to MassMessage, but changing it now would probably remove context for the existing comments. It's probably better to just start a new task with specific goals laid out for the new extension, if desired.

Foremost privacy experts convene for D.C.'s Data Privacy Summit
26 March 2019 | 1:01 pm
Update: To capture the highlights of the event, watch the recap video here.
Leading thinkers in law, technology, and policy gathered on March 27, 2019 in Washington, D.C. to discuss how to protect privacy in the digital age. While countries around the world have implemented data protection laws, the United States — where the topic is commonly referred to as data privacy — has embraced a sectoral approach. However, scandals involving the misuse of personal user data, like Facebook's sharing of user data with Cambridge Analytica, as well as the passage of privacy laws in a handful of states, have jointly drawn unprecedented attention to the issue in the U.S. and provided a moment where a comprehensive privacy law is not only possible, but probable.
The Data Privacy Summit examined the current data privacy debate, the underlying technologies, and the relationships between privacy and security, civil rights, and safety. It strived to find common ground and raise tough questions toward the ultimate goal of the passage of a comprehensive data protection framework in the United States.
The event featured keynotes FTC Commissioner Rohit Chopra, who is currently tasked with enforcing privacy under existing narrow authority; Congressman Ted Lieu, who is shaping data protection legislation; and Malka Older, a forward-looking author who has written about the future of politics and technology. Other speakers included representatives from companies, governments, legal practitioners, and academics.
The Cambridge Analytica scandal may have been a tipping point, but pressure continues to build as other companies and government agencies face questions around their handling of sensitive personal information. Access Now published its own vision for a data protection law that would limit processing to certain purposes through meaningful, opt-in consent and ensure users rights such as portability, explanation, and rectification.
Here are links to background materials:

Home Featured The election is over, but the struggle continues!
The election is over, but the struggle continues!
Simon Lindberg
THOUGHTS. The Nordic Resistance Movement's leader shares his thoughts on the election results and the future of the struggle.
As many are no doubt aware, the preliminary election results are now in. They show that a clear majority of the Swedish people simply can't get enough of gang rapes; they love handing over more than half their wages in taxes to pay for apartments and benefits for freeloaders from the around the world who contribute nothing to society; and they eagerly look forward to considerably worse times in which Swedes will become a minority in their own country.
Going by the election result, house prices in Rosengård, Rinkeby, Bergsjön and Gottsunda [heavy immigrant areas] ought to increase dramatically, seeing as so many Swedes seem to idolise multiculturalism. Unless all those who voted for the establishment parties are hypocrites, of course…
In a country in which problems continue to multiply exponentially – and in which it's clear to everyone (excluding those who buy the establishment's well-worn lies) that things are going seriously wrong – more than 80 percent of people didn't even vote for the most limp-wristed so-called opposition movement the world has ever seen: the Sweden Democrats. In fact roughly only every hundredth person voted for change of any kind.
On a local level, thousands of pats on the back and promised votes for the Nordic Resistance Movement have seemingly not led to any seats in office. The situation is still unclear in Boden, where there is a chance the people have had the clearness of thought and civil courage to make the right choice, while in Ludvika it's possible the Nordic Resistance Movement's name is on enough spoiled ballots to get us elected – however, it's evident that overall we have not made any large electoral gains.
As I see it, the reason for these votes failing to materialise is due in equal parts to election fraud and the classic scenario in which people change their mind at the last second and for some unfathomable reason vote for the Sweden Democrats, even though they know that we constitute a far better alternative. In the end, they give the abusive husband one more chance. Election fraud is a fact, but we can only guess how widespread it is, and we can see the Sweden Democrats' vote increased in both Ludvika and Kungälv, [strong Nordic Resistance Movement areas].
So has the Nordic Resistance Movement had a terrible election? Anyone who claims that the election result was a great success isn't being honest with themselves or others, and going purely on the numbers, the results were poor.
But – and it is a big BUT – we have won far more than we have lost. Even if we had only gotten a single vote, the election would still have been a big success for us. Fredrik Vejdeland covered this in his excellent article "Nine great achievements of the election campaign", so I won't go into detail about all the reasons here. Instead I will say that our foremost goal of establishing a parliamentary branch was not to get 51 percent of the votes in an election. Rather, as we have stated from the beginning, it was just one of many ways for us to broadcast our message and mobilise people in the struggle. With this election we have achieved that goal with flying colours.
A National Socialist propaganda offensive of a kind rarely seen before has been accomplished. We have evolved our media and grown both as individuals and as an organisation. And this is only the beginning. In the long term the positive effects of this intensive election campaign will be even greater: this is based on extensive experience and past analysis of how our achievements go hand in hand with our levels of activism.
The Nordic Resistance Movement is stronger than ever before. Bad election results do not change that fact. We will continue to fight, and we will continue to grow. The absence of parliamentary mandates does not alter that reality.
The corrupt system is terrified of us and is expending unbelievable amounts of resources on trying to stop us. A lack of progress at the polls will not diminish that effort, because they know just as well as we do that we have something more, something far greater and more dangerous than vote totals in a rigged system: we have an activist movement of fanatical National Socialists who are gaining ever-greater support from people on the streets every day, in the form of well-wishes, spontaneous donations and new membership applications.
Alternative for Sweden also struggled to mobilise voters, despite running a very costly campaign and meeting far less opposition from the system than we did. Hopefully their fight hasn't been in vain and will instead ensure the majority of their members and sympathisers come to the same conclusion we have long since reached: that our people cannot be saved only via a corrupt system in which our enemies hold power, and in which they set the rules of the game. Our people will be saved through radical and uncompromising struggle on all fronts – and by all means!
I will conclude by thanking everyone who voted for us and, moreover, everyone who in various ways has helped in the struggle in recent months. Some have done more than others, and in time they will receive the recognition they deserve.
The election is over, but the struggle goes on, undiminished and with renewed commitment. Death to the establishment – long live the revolutionary resistance!
