Via Planete Beaute, Chanel Creative Director of Beauty and Genius Peter Philips was recently interviewed in French Vogue about his go-to products for revitalizing skin.
Although Philips has access to Chanel's magical and extensive skincare line, his choice was a rather interesting one–Coup D'Eclat Lifting Ampoules–which are products sold in health and beauty stores throughout France. A translation of the article says (provided by Cafe Makeup reader Marie):
It's a must-have to smooth skin in an instant: in ten minutes flat, lines are re-tightened and wrinkles are smoothed, like after a real facelift. However, it is better to use this "Cinderella effect" for special occasions: such a radical retightening of the skin can be a little uncomfortable.
I was very impressed that Peter Philips chose this little drugstore-type products to use on the gorgeous young Chanel models, but I suppose everyone's skin can use help when stress levels are running high.
Coincidentally, I had noticed a box of these at a local store the other day. Of course, with the force of Peter Philips' recommendation, I went to try them. These are individual skincare pods, similar to the idea of the Guerlain Midnight Star Collect'Or, although the Coup D'Eclat are not as expensive. Coup D'Eclat run roughly 2 euros per application, depending on the size of the box that you buy.
Each of the ampoules are a single-application pod. The serum is sold in a 1 oz. bottle as well, for about 18 euros.
Essentially, the serum tightens pores, primes and revitalize the skin. It's very lightweight. After a very slight sting, the liquid sinks into the skin so that you cannot feel it is there. There is a slight tightening effect as well and a significant softening and smoothing effect. Yes, it does make your skin look better and is a great primer.
The ingredient list on my little trial box refers only to "plant extracts." By the way, I noticed that Coup D'Eclat ampoules are for sale on Le Guide Sante.

ah, Peter Philips <3
If you may, here is an adjusted translation:

IDF Appoints Special Team to Plan Iran Strike By Ahuva Balofsky July 5, 2015 , 9:30 am 10

A self-imposed deadline has come and gone without a nuclear deal, but Israel is not waiting around to see how the US and five other countries secure the world from the threat of Iran. Instead, Walla! reported, the Israel Defense Force has appointed a special team to plan for a potential strike at the Islamic Republic's nuclear targets if needed.
The P5+1 powers had set Tuesday as a deadline for reaching a final agreement with Iran to curb its nuclear development and prevent it from developing atomic weapons. However, Iran has refused to allow unfettered inspections of its covert nuclear sites, saying it is unfair to hold it to different standards than other countries.
Additionally, the Islamic Republic has threatened to return to its full nuclear program should the US or other countries reimpose economic sanctions after they are lifted. Iran has also said it would use advanced centrifuges once a deal is reached, which would allow it to potentially obtain a nuclear arsenal within weeks.
According to the report, IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot had appointed Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Yair Golan to explore military options for Israel's protection from Iran. The appointment of such a senior officer indicates Israel's concern that the impending nuclear deal with Iran would significantly change the situation in the region and would likely necessitate a military response.
image: http://www.breakingisraelnews.com/wp-content/uploads/useful_banner_manager_banners/147-IranPetition2-600WIDE.jpg
A source close to Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon was quoted as saying, "Nothing has changed regarding the military option. Our working assumption is that Iran is lying all the time, beyond the fact that it is funding and directing terror in the Middle East. It (Iran) is our most bitter enemy today, even though we don't share a physical border with it, and we must not put off any kind of preparedness against it."
"In the end, we don't believe Iran. We don't believe the (nuclear) project will be stopped. Therefore the (military) option will remain…We need to be ready also for the day in which Israel will need to make decisions alone. (What) if it becomes clear they are pushing the envelope in breach of the agreement? Or if Iran goes down deep underground (with its nuclear facilities)? And if new sites are found? Will we wait for the US to take care of them?"
"You have to prepare yourself for all of the threats. Not only for Gaza and Lebanon," added the source. "The military option costs money but the more time goes by, you're better prepared to carry out the mission."
The need for a strong military response against a potentially nuclear Iran is being used to argue against cutting the IDF's budget. Most of the funding for defense against Iran is funnelled to the Air Force and Intelligence branches.
Israela: secrets, lies, and alienation. Heroism. Arabs saving Jews and Jews healing Arabs in Israel. Israela: An eternal struggle for peace. Three women and their loved ones seeking the "good life" under war. The complex social structure of Israel, tradition, history, war, Intifada, and love.

31 March 2007 • The name plate is mounted on the corner of a large stone building and proclaims one of London's grand squares. London 'Post Codes' were introduced in 1857 – with areas defined as 'W' (like this one), 'E', 'SW, 'NW' and so on. In 1917 a further refinement was made with numbers being added to indicate smaller areas within the main area – for example 'W1' and 'W2'. We can conclude therefore that the name plate here dates from some time earlier than 1917. This plate is quite high up which means that it is away from everyday wear and tear. Name plates in situ are quite rare today and show how elegant London must have looked in the early 1990s.
26 February 2005 • Careful inspection of the image reveals that the name plate is in fine condition. Sadly, peeling paint behind it and the insensitive placing of a building alarm have conspired to ruin the elegant effect of this name plate.

FILTER 49: Getting To Know: Ty Segall
By Zachary Sniderman on November 20, 2012
Ty Segall comes from a place where his friends have bloody faces, love songs are strange, the forces of dark and light battle inside your head and guitars sound like a T. rex tearing apart a car. "The idea was writing a pop song and then destroying it." Segall is calling me back from San Francisco, after scarfing down a sandwich from Yellow Submarine (cheese combo with extra hot sauce). His new album, Twins, is his heaviest yet, thanks to a newly rekindled love for distortion and an effects pedal aptly called "Fuzz War."
This is not his first rodeo. Since starting out in the mid 2000s, Segall has released or contributed to more than 35 albums with a variety of California-based punk and rock bands (Epsilons, Party Fowl, The Traditional Fools, The Perverts). Segall plays pretty much every rock instrument under the sun, allowing him to bounce between gigs even when not fronting. He has eight albums under his own name (and voice), and—despite hewing closely to the punk ethos—each has taken on new styles. There have been garage records and, recently, a folkier, vocals-focused album (2011's Goodbye Bread). Twins is meant to rip the doors off and go as gnarly as possible. Segall also has two other albums out this year, one with Tim Presley's White Fence (Hair), and one with his own house band (Slaughterhouse). "I haven't done an album since Goodbye Bread, and that was a year ago," Segall says, with a touch of disbelief. "Waiting a year is hard for me. I mean, it's a year in your life."
Image courtesy of Ty Segall
Twins sounds like an angrier, darker version of a Beatles album. It's meant to kick your ass, not help you get chicks. Most songs on the album come in under three minutes with titles like "Love Fuzz," "Thank God for Sinners" and "There Is No Tomorrow." Yeah, it's a little dark. Hell, even the titular refrain of "Would You Be My Love" sounds less like a question and more like a sinister guarantee.
And yet, despite his enormous talent, restless mind and bloody-knuckle aesthetic, Segall has got to be one of the nicest musicians on the planet. His friends have bloody faces, but only because they wrecked into a reef while surfing. Twins is about the struggles we all face inside our own heads, but that's got a positive spin, too: "With every album I do, it's pretty heavily about mental problems. It's not the age-old issue for nothing," Segall says. "For me, it's more like our brains are fucked up and we can get through it. I don't know, I'm still a relatively young man, so maybe I'll figure it out." Segall's present day off will probably involve normal things like going up to Mount Olympus and maybe washing his clothes ("I really enjoy doing laundry").
Segall is also surprisingly unplugged from technology (not amps), preferring to stay away from computers. The musician's tendency to dive into a thousand different musical obsessions also caused him to fixate on the musical blogosphere. When his computer was stolen about three years ago, he took it as a sign and went technology-free, cold turkey. "If you're constantly assessing what people say about you, then you'll go crazy. I've done that in the past… You should ask a girl out on a date instead, or take your buddy out for a taco, or go to the beach."
This nice-guy act drops away the second Segall picks up an axe. His shows are bar-brawl-tough, sweaty, joyous experiences. Segall himself is attractive and solid, with a distinct California drawl and a look that alternates between scraggly surfer and clean-cut LA hipster. His live shows are where he thrives and Twins is built to move. "One of the ideas behind the record was to make songs that were sort of catered to playing live." Segall recorded the album in the studios formerly used by Creedence Clearwater Revival and played all the instruments himself, in just two takes. Which is odd, because it usually doesn't take so long. "We almost always use the first take, but this time we recorded it and then scrapped it and recorded it again. The first take, you're just experimenting." In explaining this, Segall hums, sings and beatboxes (as he does throughout the interview). Music clearly fills his brain. Albums like Twins act like pressure-release gauges, letting Segall poke, prod and clear his head for the next batch of albums.
Even still, Segall's brain is refilling at lightning speed; like a Harley waiting at a red, it buzzes with possible projects, guttural and gut-punching to go. Who would be his dream collaboration? "I never thought of that before," Segall says, immediately going free-associative. "Blue Cheer, Hendrix or something? It would be so cool to play Harvest songs with The Stray Gators. I would have liked to start a punk band with Neil Young when he got punk in there. I would have been like, 'Neil, what's up, dude?' Make a record with The Screamers. James Brown. Dude, James Brown, that's it. James fucking Brown for sure. For sure." What would Segall play? "I don't know, whatever he would want to do. We would just jam. Do it up. Dude. I want to do everything. So one day, I'd like to do it all." F

Follow the Instructions
today's reading.
1 Kings 9:1-5 Now it came about when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all that Solomon desired to do...
1 Kings 9:1-5
1 Kings 9:1-5think about it.
What value does God place on integrity as He speaks to Solomon? How did Solomon learn integrity? Based on these verses, what are some characteristics of integrity? What example of integrity do you think you're giving to your child or other people?
the blog.
The Lord appears to Solomon a second time here in 1 Kings 9:1-5. (You can read the account of the first appearing at 1 Kings 3:5-14.) This is shortly after Solomon has completed the temple, dedicated it and sacrificed offerings to the Lord. God affirms and recognizes Solomon's words and actions, and then offers (similar to 1 Kings 3) loving instruction and guidance to Solomon, telling him to walk with "integrity of heart and uprightness" and according to all that God had commanded (vs. 4). Those words were good for Solomon, and they're good for us too.
So what does walking with integrity of heart and uprightness mean to you? How will you work on putting that walk into practice this week? Tami W.

High five as passenger growth continues
Aberdeen Airport enjoyed a near 5% growth in passenger numbers last month, with both domestic and international traffic posting strong growth.
Latest figures show the number of passengers using Aberdeen Airport increased by 4.8% in November 2011.
Domestic traffic numbers enjoyed the strongest growth, up by 9.1%. International passenger numbers grew by 7.2% and the number of helicopter passengers fell by 13.4%.
Derek Provan, airport MD, said: "It is encouraging to see domestic and international traffic growing at such a strong rate. The launch of new flights to London City and Bristol are a welcome addition to Aberdeen's domestic route network and will help support business and tourism links between the north-east, London and the south-west of England."

Bourbon Slush Recipe
The kitchen is not always about food. Amazing and refreshing drinks need to be made just as well. Bourbon Slush Recipe is the most interesting beverage so far. You mix the tea, orange juice and lemonade along with a little bourbon into a pan and freeze it. The cool part is it won't be solid ice because of the bourbon in it. It will be frozen but soft too. Be careful cutting out your drink however, you can still hurt yourself. It is incredibly refreshing and perfect for any out door occasion. Give the drink a try here with or with out the alcohol.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 OverviewAuthor : FindYogi Editor Published :
The Good
- Best in Class Display
- Great Battery life
- Best in Class Camera
The Bad
- No SD Card Slot
- No Removable Battery like Note 4
- S-pen put back in other way around can break the slot.
The Bottom Line
Even with some of the removed trademark features from the Note series like the SD card slot and Removable battery, its hard to not recommend Galaxy Note 5 with its Gorgeous screen, Brilliant Camera and all day battery life its still as good as a phone can get.
With the Galaxy Note 5 Samsung has a revamped design for its Note series with a flat 5.7 inch display on the front and a curved back panel both sides covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 4. The design looks stylish as always but the back is prone to fingerprints and smudges. The home key has a fingerprint sensor built in which is responsive and works very well. The S-Pen needs to be pushed in to release it and also has a tendency to be inserted back in the wrong way. This doesn't feel much of an issue but makes the process of taking out the pen a bit longer and a little-bit of hindsight while designing might have made it better.
The phone has a 5.7 inch Super AMOLED QuadHD display. The viewing angles are great and the display is bright allowing easy usage in bright conditions. The Note 5 is significantly thinner and lighter than its predecessors even though it still has the same display size. Note 5 display is without a doubt the best display you can get in a mobile device right now at the time of its launch.
The Note 5 boasts of a Quad-core Cortex-A53 1.5 GHz and Quad-core Cortex-A57 2.1 GHz powered by Exynos 7420 chipset and Mali-T760MP8 GPU. The combination of all these provides seamless performance in all conditions and even provides a smooth gaming experience with no lag. The single downward facing speaker provides loud and smooth audio and call quality was clear as well.
As with all Note series the performance is top notch with really no stones left unturned when it comes to hardware department.
The 3000 mAh battery on the Galaxy Note 5 provided sufficiently long periods without charging. The battery life is good with upto 12 hours of continuous video playback. The phone also comes with wireless charging ability and a fast charger which charged the phone from 0 to 50 in 30 minutes and full charge in an hour and a half. The phone has a power saving mode as well which turns the screen monochrome, reduces the brightness and limits the use of battery draining apps and extending the battery life considerably which is great during emergencies when you can't get a charger right away.
The camera on the phone is the same as the Galaxy S6 with 16 megapixels, f1.9 aperture, Optical Image stabilization and a 28mm lens with dual LED flash and heart rate sensor. The images taken from the camera were sharp and had plenty of detail with excellent color and white balance. The camera UI comes with a bunch of camera modes with the option of downloading more if the user wants to. Switching to the gallery was also fast. The phone had the excellent 4K recording quality which has been seen in previous phones of the series as well as in the S series. On the front there's a 5 megapixels camera with auto HDR. Camera in Note 5 is best in class and argubably the best one in a smart phone.
The Note 5 runs on Android 5.1 Lolipop with Samsung's new TouchWiz UI. It feels like a deskinned version of the regular UI loaded with a few more features making it lighter and more responsive. The UI supports multi-window to run apps, letting you resize the windows, allows apps to float on screen or minimize them to icons to have them float on screen. It also has the old features such as Do-Not-Disturb and SmartStay. The home button can be double pressed to launch the camera or triple pressed to shrink the display for single handed usage. The phone comes also comes with a few themes with the ability to download more from the theme store, a few of which are similar to the stock OS. On the down side, the Note 5, like the previous S6 and S6 edge has RAM management issues and doesn't hold many apps in memory even with its gigantci 4GB ram.
With any phone of the Note series the biggest feature is the S-Pen. In the Galaxy Note 5 has been provided new functionality. Pulling the S-Pen out activates the air commands. There's support for upto three shortcuts and with the AMOLED screen the user can now scribble on the screen without turning it on. All previous features have been preserved as well. The palm detection is well handled as well despite the small bezel.
The lack of a MicroSD and removable battery might irk some people as well. Overall the phone provides less new features compared to earlier phones in the Note series and seems mostly something most staunch Samsung fans would prefer and all in all its a great sucessor to the Note 4.

Serves 6
For the dipping sauce:
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce**
- 1 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce**
- ½ shallot, finely diced
- ½ tablespoon fresh mint, finely chopped
- ½ tablespoon cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon miso paste**
To complete the rice paper rolls:
- 4 ounces vermicelli, cooked according to instructions
- 1 cup Chinese cabbage, shredded
- ½ cup bean sprouts
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- ½ cup cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 fresh red chili
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 ½ tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce**
- 1 ½ tablespoons sweet chili sauce**
- 15-20 rice paper sheets**
*Found in Asian markets or the ethnic food or sauce sections of most grocery stores.
To make the dipping sauce:
In a medium bowl whisk together the water, chili sauce and soy sauce. Whisk in the shallot, mint, cilantro and miso paste until thoroughly combined.
To complete the rice paper rolls:
After the vermicelli noodles are cooked, drain and rinse well. Roughly chop the cooked noodles.
In a large bowl combine the chopped noodles, cabbage, sprouts, bell pepper, mint, cilantro and chili. Dress the veggie filling with the lime juice, soy sauce and sweet chili sauce. Toss until well mixed.
Soak one individual rice paper sheet in a large bowl of water for 15-30 seconds, or until just soft. Pat dry on a clean towel.
Place 2 tablespoons of filling inside the soaked rice paper roll. Fold in the edges and then roll them up firmly. The edges should seal neatly when pressed together with your fingers.
Repeat the rice paper roll soaking and filling process individually until all the rice paper sheets are used up.
Serve the rice paper rolls with dipping sauce on the side.

On May 29th, 2018 the Jewish National Fund (JNF) will be honouring the Manitoba Chapter of Alpha Omega Fraternity and one of its most distinguished members, Dr. Gerald Niznick.
Alpha Omega Dental Fraternity (AODF) is the oldest international dental organization and has the distinction of being the oldest Jewish medical organization in the world. It was created as a result of the undemocratic, anti-religious, racist and outright antisemitic sentiments prevalent in dental schools at the turn of the 20th century.
The Manitoba chapter of AODF received its charter in December 1946, and has been active in community oral health, education, research, and charitable endeavours ever since. The student chapter of AODF was incorporated in 1959. In 1958, the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Manitoba was established and shortly thereafter, 15 Alpha Omegans were on staff in both clinical and research departments. The first graduating class was in 1962, and out of the 15 graduates, seven were Alpha Omegans.
The foundational guiding principles of AODF were: access to oral health and wellness; promoting social justice; and Tikkun Olam – repairing an ailing world.
The mission statement of AO Fraternity is "to offer dentists, oral health professionals, and students a welcoming fraternal community that honours the organization's Judaic heritage, provides opportunities to attain professional excellence and promotes access to oral health care for all."
AO's vision statement "envisions communities where everyone has access to oral health care and whose members can contribute to the well-being of others." Its core values are integrity, compassion, inclusion, and generosity, which arise from sharing knowledge, skills and resources in the promotion of oral health, and the pursuit of personal and professional growth.
Over the decades, Manitoba AODF has donated tens of thousands of dollars to many local and international charities); the Canadian Museum of Human Rights; the Simkin Centre; Siloam Mission; Jewish Child and Family Service; Christmas Cheer Board; Heart and Stroke; United Way; Jewish Foundation of Manitoba; and the School of Dentistry Rady Faculty of Health Sciences.
The AO Manitoba chapter was very involved in donating funds towards the building of the Hebrew University Dental School in Jerusalem. Alpha Omega International has provided funds to help build a dental clinic in Jerusalem for disadvantaged children, named the Dental Volunteers for Israel (DVI) clinic. The Manitoba chapter has donated funds for DVI and, most importantly, has provided critically needed manpower to treat these children with an AO Manitoban travelling to Israel for each of the last eight years.
Dr. Gerald Niznick is a philanthropist, innovator, and entrepreneur who is recognized by many as the godfather of modern implant dentistry. He has received 33 US patents in this field, including the internal connection patent that has become the cornerstone of modern implant design. His revolutionary ideas are limited not only to dentistry science and technology, but also to bringing implants to the masses. Among other distinctions, he has been granted Honourary Doctorate Degrees from both the University of Manitoba and Tel Aviv University in recognition of his achievements. Dr Niznick has also received Alpha Omega's highest honour, the Achievement Medal, for his significant contributions to the dental implant field.
As a past Alpha Omegan, Dr. Niznick has followed AODF's guiding principles and mission in his activities, not only in his research, but by increasing the accessibility of the general public to dental plantation. Dr. Niznick and his wife Reesa have established the Niznick Foundation, which supports dental education from Winnipeg to Israel, also throughout the US in the form of grants for research, undergraduate pre-clinical training and implant centers at several dental schools.
In 2006, he dedicated a radiological center at the hospital in Fort Frances, Ontario, the town in which he grew up. His other non-dental related charities include Stop Cancer, Home for the Aging, and drug rehabilitation centers. The Niznick Foundation was ranked in the top 50 Nevada Foundations by Total Giving.
In accordance with their humanitarian principles, the Manitoba Chapter of AODF and Dr. Niznick have chosen to support the construction of a new dental clinic for children with severe multiple disabilities in Israel. The treatment received at the specialized dental clinic will enable Israel's most vulnerable members to benefit from the highest quality dental care and hygiene in an atmosphere most suitable and supportive to their needs. This project is a partnership between JNF and ALEH C.A.R.E.S., Israel's largest Network of Care for Children with Severe Multiple Disabilities.
The Jewish National Fund Manitoba & Saskatchewan is proud to honour the Alpha Omega Dental Fraternity and Dr. Gerald Niznick, who are following our Jewish tradition of social justice. You are all invited to pay tribute to these most deserving individuals at the 2018 Negev Gala evening on Tuesday, May 29, 2018 at the Centennial Concert Hall.
The Negev Gala this year will be featuring a unique Israeli artist, who happens to share AODFs spirit and volunteers with the ALEH C.A.R.E.S. residents. David D'or has a special voice; he is a world renowned singer, songwriter, and composer and is often asked to sing at important and historical international occasions. Let's welcome David D'Or with his quintet and violin soloist Alexander (Sanya) Kroitor. It will be a unique show with the best of Israeli and classical favourites.

The Hiptest API allows you to build integration with virtually anything.
It is still young and new features are constantly added but you may already get great benefits from it.
In this tutorial you will have a first look on how to get started before using it to report statuses of your Hiptest test runs on a dashboard.
Pre-requisites for this tutorial
To fully understand this tutorial it is better to have some basic knowledge of HTTP requests, and eventually a tool like CURL to test requests to the API.
For the dashboard part smashing will be used. To test it by yourself, you will need Ruby installed and ready to go on your computer. If you are not a Ruby developer, don't worry: there is very little code and it is really easy to read and to understand.
Presentation of the API
Hiptest API is RESTful and follows the {json:api} specification. Documentation is available at api-doc.hiptest.com.
Before anything else you need to sign into Hiptest and generate your API credentials. These credentials will be used to authenticate your API requests. API access is open for all paying plans and open source subscription. If you are in a free plan and want access to the API, feel free to contact Hiptest support and we will find a solution for you.
Generate credentials in Hiptest
You can easily generate your credentials on Hiptest. Sign into your account
then go to your profile page. Click the
Generate new API credentials button.
Sign in and generate credentials using Hiptest API
It is also possible to sign in and generate API credentials using the API. Post your email address and your password to
app.hiptest.com/api/auth/sign_in as described below:
POST https://app.hiptest.com/api/auth/sign_in HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/json { "email": "firstname.lastname@example.com", "password": "your-password" }
Client and
UID will then be part of the HTTP response headers.
To give it a try you can copy/paste the following command into your terminal. Just use your email address and password instead of
email@example.com and
curl --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{ "email": "firstname.lastname@example.com", "password": "your-password"}' --dump-header - https://app.hiptest.com/api/auth/sign_in
On Windows you can try the following PowerShell command:
(Invoke-WebRequest -Method Post -Uri 'https://app.hiptest.com/api/auth/sign_in' -Body '{"email": "email@example.com", "password": "your-password"}' -Headers @{'Content-Type' = 'application/json'}).Headers
Both commands should provide an output similar to the following:
Transfer-Encoding: chunked Connection: keep-alive X-Request-ID: 76af79ac-bc67-4bd8-ba62-5ecc9d76f0a3 X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff access-token: VTyqr_xxx_xxx0KH-YrbQQ token-type: Bearer client: cHhNuwROzt_xxxxxsaTPw expiry: 1543397543 uid: email@example.com ETag: W/"3cc40a7a162c1c625b5b826c6fd2d3f8" Cache-Control: max-age=0, private, must-revalidate X-Request-Id: 76af79ac-bc67-4bd8-ba62-5ecc9d76f0a3 X-Runtime: 0.390018 Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000 Vary: Accept-Encoding
The interesting values here are:
access-token: VTyqr_xxx_xxx0KH-YrbQQ client: cHhNuwROzt_xxxxxsaTPw uid: email@example.com
Final notice about the credentials
If you sign into Hiptest using GitHub or Google and don't have a password, sign out and follow the process to reset your password. That way you will be able to create a password for your account in addition to GitHub or Google.
Your access token is valid for one year. After this period it will be expired and you will have to generate a new one. More information is available in the documentation.
Requesting the API
Now that you have your API credentials, it is possible to request the API. For example let's retrieve your projects list:
GET https://app.hiptest.com/api/projects HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/vnd.api+json; version=1 access-token: your-access-token client: your-client-id uid: your_uid
That returns the following JSON:
{ "data": [ { "type": "projects", "id": "61344", "attributes": { "name": "Testing CASH WITHDRAWAL (sample N°2)" }, "links": { "self": "/projects/61344" } }, { "type": "projects", "id": "46292", "attributes": { "name": "Testing BOOKSTORE (sample N°1)" }, "links": { "self": "/projects/46292" } } ] }
In addition to your API credentials please note the header
Accept: application/vnd.api+json; version=1. This one is mandatory for all requests to the API.
Give it a try! Just replace the API credentials with yours, using curl:
curl --header 'Accept: application/vnd.api+json; version=1' --header 'access-token: your-access-token' --header 'client: your-client-id' --header 'uid: your_uid' https://app.hiptest.com/api/projects
or powershell:
(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://app.hiptest.com/api/projects' -Headers @{'Accept' = 'application/vnd.api+json; version=1'; 'access-token' = 'your-access-token'; 'client' = 'you-client-id'; 'uid' = 'your-uid'}).RawContent
Now that you know how to request the API to retrieve your projects, you can request for folders, scenarios, and many other things as described in Hiptest REST API documentation.
While building a dashboard you need to know the status of your test runs. Here is the API endpoint for that purpose:
GET https://app.hiptest.com/api/projects/[project_id]/test_runs HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/vnd.api+json; version=1 access-token: your-access-token client: your-client-id uid: your_uid
That returns something like that:
{ "data": [ { "type": "test-runs", "id": "107423", "attributes": { "created-at": "2017-11-28T11:05:55.806Z", "updated-at": "2017-11-28T11:05:56.505Z", "last-author": "HiptestBot", "name": "Sprint 1", "description": "", "statuses": { "passed": 4, "failed": 1, "retest": 0, "undefined": 0, "blocked": 0, "skipped": 1, "wip": 0 } }, "links": { "self": "/test-runs/107423" }, "relationships": { "tags": {} } }, { "type": "test-runs", "id": "107422", "attributes": { "created-at": "2017-11-28T11:05:53.640Z", "updated-at": "2017-11-28T11:05:55.675Z", "last-author": "HiptestBot", "name": "Continuous integration", "description": "", "statuses": { "passed": 6, "failed": 0, "retest": 0, "undefined": 0, "blocked": 0, "skipped": 0, "wip": 0 } }, "links": { "self": "/test-runs/107422" }, "relationships": { "tags": {} } } ], "included": [] }
Here they are! Statuses for test runs!
Try this out by replacing [project_id] with the id of one of your projects. Do not forget to use your API credentials
using curl:
curl --header 'Accept: application/vnd.api+json; version=1' --header 'access-token: your-access-token' --header 'client: your-client-id' --header 'uid: your_uid' https://app.hiptest.com/api/projects/[project_id]/test_runs
using powershell:
(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://app.hiptest.com/api/projects/[project_id]/test_runs' -Headers @{'Accept' = 'application/vnd.api+json; version=1'; 'access-token' = 'your-access-token'; 'client' = 'you-client-id'; 'uid' = 'your-uid'}).RawContent
The dashboard
Now that you know how to request the Hiptest API to get test runs statuses, you are all set to build a dashboard.
A dashboard is a control panel which collates information about your product. In a DevOps context it may display server monitoring data – CPU usage or memory consumption for example – but also the status of your CI and/or the statuses of your tests. This is what you will build: a dashboard that permanently shows the statuses of tests as reported by Hiptest to your team.
Note: the rest of this tutorial assumes that you have Ruby installed and ready to go.
Setup your dashboard with smashing
The following command lines will setup smashing, create a new project, and start it:
gem install bundler gem install smashing smashing new hiptest-api-dashboard-tutorial cd hiptest-api-dashboard-tutorial bundle smashing start
If everything worked fine, navigate to http://localhost:3030 to see a sample dashboard.
If not please consider taking a look at the GitHub repository of Smashing.
Create a dashboard for Hiptest Test runs
First create a new file in the
dashboards folder named
hiptest.erb with the following content:
Hiptest dashboard

This creates a new dashboard titled "Hiptest dashboard" with two tiles. Those tiles will be used to show the status of two test runs for the CASH WITHDRAWAL sample project. Navigate to http://localhost:3030/hiptest to see your dashboard: Now create another file in the
jobs directory named
hiptest.rb with the following content:
require 'net/http' require 'json' # Set the following constants with your data PROJECT_ID = 0 ACCESS_TOKEN = 'your-access-token' CLIENT_ID = 'your-client-id' UID = 'your-uid' PROJECT_URL = "https://app.hiptest.com/api/projects/#{PROJECT_ID}/test_runs" # That method will actually fetch the data from Hiptest # and return an array of hashes containing test runs names and statuses def request_hiptest_status uri = URI(PROJECT_URL) result = Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port, use_ssl: uri.scheme == 'https') do |http| request = Net::HTTP::Get.new uri request['Accept'] = "application/vnd.api+json; version=1" request['access-token'] = ACCESS_TOKEN request['client'] = CLIENT_ID request['uid'] = UID http.request request end if result and result.is_a?(Net::HTTPOK) response = JSON.parse(result.body) # To return an array containing only names and statusese of test runs return response['data'].collect do |test_run| { 'name' => test_run['attributes']['name'], 'statuses' => test_run['attributes']['statuses'] } end end # If something wrong happened then tiles won't be refreshed. puts 'An error occurred.' puts result end # This method is in charge of returning the most # valuable status for the given statuses. # # It's up to you to define here which status you want your # dashboard to show depending the statuses of a test run def get_status_text(statuses) return "Failed" if statuses['failed'] > 0 return "Blocked" if statuses['blocked'] > 0 return "Skipped" if statuses['skipped'] > 0 return "Work in progress" if statuses['wip'] > 0 || statuses['undefined'] > 0 return "Retest" if statuses['retest'] > 0 return "Passed" if statuses['passed'] > 0 return "Unknown" end # This will simply concatenate the statuses # into a single string def get_status_details(statuses) return statuses.map { |key, value| "#{key}: #{value}" if value > 0 }.join(' ') end # Every 30 seconds the dashboard will fetch statuses from Hiptest # then refresh the tiles accordingly SCHEDULER.every '30s' do test_runs = request_hiptest_status if test_runs send_event('tr-1', title: test_runs.first['name'], text: get_status_text(test_runs.first['statuses']), moreinfo: get_status_details(test_runs.first['statuses'])) send_event('tr-2', title: test_runs.last['name'], text: get_status_text(test_runs.last['statuses']), moreinfo: get_status_details(test_runs.last['statuses'])) end end
This code requests the API for test runs statuses then refreshes the tiles accordingly.
If you stop the dashboard, start it again, and wait for the tiles to be refreshed, they will look like this:
Add some colors to the dashboard
The dashboard would be more informative with different colors for each status. To do so a new widget must be created. Create a new directory in the
widgets folder named
status and, within it, create a new file
status.html with that content:

Create a file
status.scss with that content:
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Sass declarations // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- $passed-color: #2ECC9A; $failed-color: #DF182A; $wip-color: #FFC300; $blocked-color: #8B0000; $retest-color: #FF7603; $skipped-color: #455982; $background-color: #8A8A8A; $title-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); $moreinfo-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Widget-status styles // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- .widget-status { background-color: $background-color; .title { color: $title-color; } .more-info { color: $moreinfo-color; } .updated-at { color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); } &.large h3 { font-size: 65px; } &.status-passed { background-color: $passed-color; } &.status-failed { background-color: $failed-color; } &.status-wip { background-color: $wip-color; } &.status-blocked { background-color: $blocked-color; } &.status-retest { background-color: $retest-color; } &.status-skipped { background-color: $skipped-color; } }
And a file
status.coffee with that content:
class Dashing.Status extends Dashing.Widget onData: (data) -> if data.text className = "" switch data.text.toLowerCase() when "passed" then className = "passed" when "failed" then className = "failed" when "work in progress" then className = "wip" when "blocked" then className = "blocked" when "retest" then className = "retest" when "skipped" then className = "skipped" $(@get('node')).attr 'class', (i, c) -> c.replace /\bstatus-\$+/g, '' $(@get('node')).addClass "status-#{className}"
Finally update
dashboards/hiptest.erb to use the new
Status widget instead of the
Text one:
Hiptest dashboard

Restart your dashboard and refresh your browser to get your shiny dashboard:
That's it! Your dashboard now shows you the statuses of your test runs!
Final words and conclusion
You can retrieve the source code of the dashboard on GitHub: https://github.com/hiptest/api-dashboard-tutorial.
Hiptest API may help you to do much more than reporting statuses of your test runs on a dashboard. All endpoints are listed in the API documentation. Share with us your Hiptest API usage on Hiptest User Group!
You can also take a look on our Trello Backlog to see what is planned to be done in the coming months. If something seems to be missing for you, feel free to send us a feature request, still on Hiptest User Group 😉

Unfortunately, when people go to a restaurant for the first time, they don't remember much. They might remember all of the effort that you put in to make the decor look nice and inviting. They might remember all the time that your chefs took to make the presentation of the food look immaculate. They might even remember the nice table cloth and place settings that you took a full week to hand select.
Odds are, however, that they might remember the service. This is because we as humans will connect to another human face much more strongly than any kind of object (most of the time). When it comes down to it, then, it's just pure psychology. This is why it is absolutely important to impress upon your waiters and waitresses that they are the face of your restaurant. This post contains some information on how to organize and direct your wait staff in a way that makes them efficient and respectful towards the guests. Keep reading for more information.
Training your wait staff can be difficult. A lot of the time, many of your servers will have prior experience in being a waiter or waitress. Many of them will think that they have their own style of serving. It is important that you direct them on how to comport the vibe of your restaurant. At the same time, you want the servers to feel like they can be themselves and feel natural. The best way to accomplish this is to have weekly meetings to have an open dialogue with your servers.

With a background in secondary school teaching and management in the UK, and with 10 years experience in tertiary education within New Zealand, Ali brings a wealth of managerial and education experience to her role as CEO of CORE.
Ali holds a Masters in Business (MBA), is a member of the New Zealand Institute of Directors and an Associate Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Management. Ali is Chair of her local primary school Board of Trustees and is the immediate past President of the Association for Tertiary Education Management (ATEM Aotearoa).
Derek Wenmoth – Director, eLearning
With more than 20 years as a teacher and principal, and in pre and in-service teacher education, Derek brings a broad background of practical and strategic experience to his position at CORE. He is an experienced group facilitator across the education and community sectors, and is involved in conceptual and strategic leadership at school, regional, national, and international level. A frequent conference speaker and an author, Derek is regularly called upon as a consultant to the Ministry of Education.
Tātai Aho Rau is a concept that represents a number of elements within CORE Education Ltd, and because of this, it has no literal translation. Rather, we seek meaning and understanding through the words and their meanings in relation to the harakeke and weaving.
Tātai – in relation to weaving, is the action of weaving, layering one strand on top of the next and so on. Understanding the connection and relationships of the strands within the weave is important in the production of the final product. At CORE Education, our core business invites us as providers to arrange, prioritise, study connections, measure importance, and exploit the connections and relationships in positive ways, in an attempt to discover supports that will best suit our clients. We are open to continuous learning, reflective in our approach.
Aho – when applied to weaving is a strand or thread. Within CORE Education, the aho relates to our core business, that is, teaching/learning and all the elements associated with this and what we do to encourage, empower clients. Aho also relates to the key elements of professional learning/development that we as CORE advocate, including mentorship, reflection, community participation, empowerment, formative assessment all these elements we weave together in the provision of support we provide.
Rau—meaning a leaf and many/multitudes. Taking the harakeke, rau are the leaves within the harakeke bush. Harakeke characteristically grows in family groups of 5 leaves, the rito (child) in the centre, mātua (parents) on the outer, and finally the kaumātua (grandparents) on the very outer. A well established harakeke bush is made up of a number of these family groups. When applying this notion to the makeup of CORE Education, we are naturally drawn to the many groupings within CORE, mainly based on projects that we currently hold. However there are other groupings that have developed from a specific need, for example, CORE Achieve, CORE Events, CORE Research, CORE Aspire, CORE Enable, CORE Online.
Taking the other meaning of rau, multitudes/many, we know the strength of the harakeke bush is attributed to the many family groupings within. A lone whānau of harakeke will not thrive as well on its own, thus, the strength of CORE education is in the many groups within the company, along with the many connections and relationships we have with others.

In February, Tony Mills and Pritam Singh were among those chosen to receive the lamp transmission from Thich Nhat Hanh and become Dharma teachers. During the ceremony, they each offered an insight gatha, and received one in response from Thay.
Tony Mills's Insight Gatha I walk the great southern land holding your hand. Each time the kookaburra laughs I hear you calling. You have lifted the veil from my heart See how it shines like a diamond. Deep in the forest the compassionate moon Awakens every leaf. A beacon shines on the ocean of suffering.
Thay's Transmission Gatha to Tony The clear bright moon shining on the forest stream The silent planet contemplates the cosmos The three thousand worlds are standing in stillness as The auspicious flower is blooming pure white
Pritam Singh's Insight Gatha For countless generations I looked through my mother's eyes filled with sorrow and regret, until a gentle rain washed away the tears. This morning, holding the hand of my dearest friend, I walked in the mountains along the old path.
Thay's Transmission Gatha to Pritam My original vow is to protect and support the Sangha.
The whole mountain is now illuminated by the sunshine, and I can already see the pink cloud floating lightly on it.
When we realize that our Suchness, our true mind, our true nature, is without the idea of more-or-less, empty-or-full, the energy of great compassion in us can be transformed into thousands of eyes and thousands of hands in order to help relieve the suffering in the world.

The Phelps Tavern Museum in Simsbury showcases what local life and entertainment was like for residents in the town during the 18th and 19th centuries. The building was home to five generations of the Phelps family, and it also served as a local tavern and hotel.
The museum is small, so you don't need to plan for much time spent exploring. The exhibits include information about the Phelps family history and what daily life was like as a tavern keeper. There's even a display of what would've been served on the menu in the tavern for each meal.
The tavern's grounds are popular in the summer time when the gardens are blooming. Be sure to take a walk over to the nearby cemetery for a bit more history from as far back as the 1600s!
