A children's book says it all
Tuesday, October 22, 2013
I remember reading my children a book about a 'Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day'. I looked it up and found it on Amazon:
That was my day yesterday. Why I can be in a positive state of mind one minute, but be so very tempted the next? Why am I invigorated by starting a meaningful walking program, but filled with despair when I step on the scale? How can I be so motivated and encouraged by what I read from my SparkSupport community and then allow self doubt to overtake my thoughts? Yesterday, I succumbed to my destructive food temptations.
Why? Well, I've felt myself sliding, AND I did not see the results that I wanted on the scale. Double whammy. Instead of shaking it off, I choked. And then I ate some more.
So what to do now? Well, I'm awake at 3AM with an upset stomach, massive headache, and filled with those same awful emotions that I've felt before. I'm fairly certain this could be categorized as a food hangover. I have to -- I want to-- change this pattern. So my plan for today is to get back on the main road and keep moving forward. I'm not beginning again, just accepting that my inner compass got turned upside down again. (Hmm...I do have a horrible sense of direction...maybe there's a connection).
I'm a list maker and boy, do I need a list. So for today I will:
1. Drink lots and lots of water. Maybe that will help flush the sugar out off my system and reduce this awful throbbing in my head.
2. Walk for a half hour at lunchtime. I tried to tell myself that my zero pound weight loss last week was muscle mass increase. Please. I walked for 3 days. Muscle mass is still a wish and a prayer away. But I do want to be physically active, and walking at lunchtime is a realistic way for me to do this. So my walking shoes are under my desk and out I'll go.
3. Track everything I eat. I'm a 'guesstimator' and to date, I've figured that if I stay under or on the low end of my calorie range, that will give me a cushion. Ha. Do I think that I was born yesterday? The only cushion that gives me is the one on my rear end. And I don't like that cushion so much anymore...
4. Stay off the scale for two weeks. Not for avoidance, but to allow me to focus on eating the right foods, in the correct proportion, and without obsessing on my long term goal. It's too overwhelming right now and I have to get my mind off of it.
So on I go... Maybe I'll re-read that children's book. As I recall, it had a happy ending. And that's what I want too.

So glad you have joined us to walk. Come and visit the walk with purpose thread, it will give you something to concentrate on while you are walking - and you won't think about food. Staying away from the scales sounds like a plan too.
Hope that headache goes, they are miserable.

You've got the right attitude. You're not going to let this one horrible, terrible very bad day defeat you...and trust me, it won't be the only horrible, terrible, very bad day you have. They'll get fewer and far between. Walking WILL help. Sugar is not my "demon" so don't think I've experienced that food hangover....but I'll take your word for it!

Great job getting a plan in place! And staying off the scale is a great idea, change your focus.
I used to read a disney book to my daughter when she was little. Throughout the story they repeated "slow and steady, steady and slow, that's the way we always go."

Hang in there...I am totally familiar with food hangovers, but with awareness comes change...you are aware, therefore, change is on the horizon.
I look at these times as a bend in the road...nothing to do but keep moving along...and refrain from rehashing it all...nothing can be done to change the past, but the future...that on the other hand...is under our jurisdiction.
Enjoy your walk!

Stuffing your feelings down inside you with food to punish yourself will not help you. You absolutely positively have the right to express your emotions. Know that you can do everything it is you need to be doing every day and yet the scale will not change. Do not let that affect you.
Think about this: There are plenty of changes occurring right now you can't yet see. I hope you're taking monthly measurements and if not, I strongly encourage you to do so. The scale is great at showing you your relationship with gravity. That's all it does. It doesn't show or tell you anything else about yourself.
I encourage you to use a digital kitchen scale and measuring spoons to help accurately portion out your food and also to track each food eaten. It will go a long way to helping you reach your goal.

Mr. Speaker, I am happy to rise today and speak on Bill C-19, a very interesting first nations omnibus bill that deals with the creation of three financial institutions and a separate statistical institute.
Listening to some of the debate today has led me to a thought process which I would like to share before I get into my prepared notes. It deals with the tensions that currently exist between what I would say is the one size fits all approach of the Indian Act, which has been the historical way that the affairs of first nations in Canada have been dealt with for a long period of time, versus the whole trend of now moving toward an opting in or a situation where first nations either singly or as a group propose and become advocates for various other forms of management, administration and governance, all of the critical things that we think of in terms of legislation.
I believe that it is a fiction under this new scenario for us to think that a majority decision made by an organization like the Assembly of First Nations, for example, is binding on anyone. Membership of the 633 bands in Canada in the Assembly of First Nations is automatic, just because of the way it is created, the way it is funded and the way it operates.
So I think it is natural that these tensions now exist. They are going to continue to exist, but hopefully it will be a creative tension. I think we see some signs that it will be. For example, we are set to give unanimous consent in the House tomorrow, I believe, to the Westbank First Nations Self-Government Agreement, which was signed in Westbank, British Columbia, on October 3. I think it signals something very constructive for the House.
At the same time, all of that tension leads me to the conclusion, and it should be no surprise to anyone, that Bill C-19 would have its strong opponents and strong proponents. A significant contributor to all of this is that it is omnibus legislation. I do not think the government needed to do that. I do not think the minister needed to do that. I think it was a mistake. The politics of this bill could be so much simpler and so much more productive. I do not quite understand why it was done this way.
The thrust of the legislation is to empower subscribing bands across the country to join together to advance their economic situation. Before I get into the specifics of the bill, I think it is important that we frame the discussion from the standpoint of what we have in Canada as a consequence of the Constitution, the reserve system of land ownership and the Indian Act. It is the very worst of all circumstances for tens of thousands of aboriginal people who are growing up in a cycle of poverty and abuse that in many circumstances is as bad as anything we can find in the third world, and in the worst circumstances in the third world.
It is essential that Canada as a modern country think outside the box so we do not perpetuate that which has been going on for too long in too many places. Economic advancement cannot occur without social advancement and the reverse is also true.
The current system and the current apparatus of government caters to the defenders of the status quo, who benefit from the asymmetrical system we currently have. It is a system that on some reserves has allowed elected chiefs and councillors to use federal money to reward themselves and their friends through jobs, through pay and through perks, to consolidate their status to influence elections, to intimidate members of their community, and to perpetuate themselves in office. This is the basic premise that the government needs to operate on in order to fix the worst of what is happening.
The government must operate from the standpoint that democracy, transparency and accountability are not negotiable. The sad truth is that I have been a witness in this place for 10 years to this government continuing to allow these things to occur. These are my first concerns whenever I am faced with reviewing legislation. Is democracy being served? Is transparency being served? Is accountability being served?
My first important observation when it comes to Bill C-19 is that it applies only to those bands that subscribe to it. My reading of ideas emanating from some of the most progressive bands in the country is that this is an essential direction in which we have to go, and I certainly concur.
The reason I concur is that when I look at the way the courts interpret transactions on reserve, the first consideration is always given to the Indian Act, which becomes the lowest common denominator and a very huge barrier to progress unless there is specific legislation in place that overrides the Indian Act for that specific band.
For example, a specific piece of legislation applies to the Sechelt band in British Columbia. It is so overwhelmingly different from the Indian Act that it is inappropriate and incorrect to call the Sechelt land base a reserve. The Sechelt band achieved fee simple ownership of their lands in 1985, lands that formerly were reserved for them and held by the Crown.
Like it is for so many other attempts at progress by first nations, the approach taken by the Department of Indian Affairs since 1985, which to me flies in the face of the great successes achieved by the Sechelt, has been to tell any other band seeking any similar treatment of their land base that there were to be no more Sechelts. One might ask why.
There is quite a bit more that I could say, but I am running out of time. I will conclude by saying that one part of this four-suite institution set-up, the first nations statistical institute, absolutely in its entirety has nothing to do with the other three. We could do without it. It is the most divisive part of the bill and should be hived off. It should never have resided in the legislation. It is a total duplication of what Statistics Canada is already carrying out. We would all be better off if we were not in the position of having to support this legislation as it stands.

Backstage at the UKFT Awards – Fashion Show
The UK Fashion & Textile Awards 2013 is a very prestigious event and was held at One Mayfair. The awards were presented by HRH The Princess Royal, President of UKFT, at the gala ceremony hosted by Myleene Klass. It was a black tie event – I always love to see people so dressed up!
I was very happy to be styling the show and backstage was very calm and relaxed as we had a really good team plus the models were all in good spirits. The models were all from FM and several of them had only done 1 or 2 shows before, so it was a great opportunity for them to gain some experience. There were two parts to the show: the evening started off by showcasing the 2012 Graduate Fashion Week Winners and then later in the evening, after the dinner, it was the awards ceremony – the moment everyone had been waiting for! It's quite exciting for us as we know who the winners were, but the winner and the audience didn't know so whenever someone won we'd hear a huge roar of applause from the audience. It's great to see that several young designers were also winners: Christopher Raeburn won Designer Business of the Year and Emma J Shipley won the Hotel Indigo UKFT Rise Newcomer Award. When I was doing the prep for the show I had several looks from Ted Baker – during the rest of week while running my errands and going to meetings I kept seeing so many women wearing Ted Bakers dresses, so it wasn't surprizing that they won Brand of the Year. Everyone I know loves their head office and whenever I have a new intern I always try to send them there to experience the Ugly Brown Building!

Part 1: Woodworking Soundbite
I recently had the chance to interview an established woodworker about his life in woodworking. Tim McCready stopped by my other woodworking blog, A Woodworking Odyssey, to comment on using pinch dogs, and somehow that grew into something much more than a comment. I think the interview turned out really well, and Tim allowed the use of some pictures to illustrate some of the comments. He does beautiful work. In the interview, Tim talks about: how he entered the trade how he became his...

SHORT HILLS, N.J. — By his own admission, United States men's national team striker Josh Sargent was not a happy camper after failing to make the USMNT roster for the CONCACAF Gold Cup earlier this summer.
Anointed the Striker of the Future by none other than Gregg Berhalter himself, the U.S. coach nonetheless preferred veterans Jozy Altidore and Gyasi Zardes to the 19-year-old Werder Bremen forward for the continental championship.
"It took a few days for me to really calm down about the situation," Sargent told reporters here this week, after being recalled by Berhalter for this month's international friendlies against Mexico and Uruguay. "When I had the time to think about it, I was able to be with my club the whole preseason, and it was a very good opportunity for myself and I thought I did a good job.
"Now," he added, "I'm in a very happy place with myself and with my football."
Back in May, Sargent was definitely not in a happy place. While he had scored with his first Bundesliga touch in December, adding a second goal weeks later, the Missouri native struggled with the demands of one of Europe's elite leagues and barely played over the final three months of the German season.
"With the youth teams and growing up, I was always used to being one of the best players, always being one of the coach's favorites," he said. "To go on the opposite side of that, it was pretty tough."
Confidence is essential for any professional athlete, not least one who plays a position counted on to produce in a low-scoring sport. And the truth is, when Sargent was summoned to the USMNT's pre-Gold Cup training camp, he wasn't feeling anywhere near his best.
"At the time, seeing Josh and having him in camp, we thought the best decision was to leave him off the roster," Berhalter said on Thursday, a day before the Gold Cup final rematch against El Tri [8:30 p.m. ET, FS1]. "It's completely up to the player in how he responds, and I would say Josh responded in the fashion that we'd want.
"He was very motivated. He used the time to first rest and then attack preseason. He was with Bremen from the very beginning, he had a very open mindset. He realized that positions are fragile in soccer, that you have to work for every single thing you get. And he went out there and earned himself playing time. And that's all you can ask from a player, that he takes a situation that doesn't go his way, flips it and then can gain from it."
[ Follow Yahoo Soccer on Twitter and Facebook ]
While Sargent impressed coach Florian Kohfeldt during his first full preseason with Werder, the playing time Berhalter referred to didn't materialize immediately. He played just eight minutes off Kohfeldt's bench in the season opener, and didn't play at all in its second contest.
It was exactly the sort of scenario that rocked Sargent's self-belief last season. Now, he knows he can't afford to be derailed by such decisions.
Berhalter noticed, rewarding Sargent with this month's invite despite his lack of minutes. And the teenager showed off his growing maturity in Werder's third match, taking advantage of just his second career Bundesliga start with a gem of a finish last weekend against Augsburg.
"You can have conversations with a player and you can say, 'Listen, you're 19 years old. How many guys are 19 years old and scoring in the Bundesliga?'" Berhalter said. "But you don't know exactly how the player is internalizing all these things.
"We saw it took a little bit of toll on him," Berhalter added. "But again, what I'm focusing on now is how he used the summer, how he used disappointment to help his situation. We're really proud of him for that. And we hope that it continues on this path."

This sounds counterintuitive, but leave the bathroom out of the picture for a while. Ease your Turtle in, letting him become comfortable with some of the potty training equipment by making it become part of the environment.
- Put Pull-Ups® Training Pants in with your child's regular diapers long before you expect to use them. Let them be visible and allow your Turtle to notice and inquire about them.
- Once in a while, take out some Pull-Ups and show your child the character on them. Play peek-a-boo with the character on the Pull-Ups while you're at the changing table. They have a tendency to hang onto ideas and choices, and you can use this later to your advantage.
- Take your Turtle to the library or local bookstore and find some books about potty training. Different stories can begin to help your Turtle work through some of the aspects of the process she may be suspicious of or nervous about.
- Repetition is key, so leave the potty books around the house and allow your Turtle to peruse them as she wishes. Be sure to find her favorite. Having some special favorites for potty time is important to your Turtle and will be increasingly important as you start to move toward the actual potty.
- Gradually start to phase items into the bathroom, like a potty chair, potty books and wipes. If she starts testing any of them out, don't get too excited or expect this interest to stick. Follow your Turtle's lead, and back off immediately if she loses enthusiasm. The last thing you want to do is to kick that Turtle's steel will into gear, which will slow the process down.
- Casually encourage your Turtle to accompany you to the bathroom while you do your business. Give a low-key description of all the potty goings-on, or just chat about the day's activities. Turtles often learn by watching and listening, even when you least expect it. The less pressure, the better.
Gradually, ask your Turtle to test out sitting on the potty. A lot of Turtles like to do this fully dressed at first. Turtles may also be reluctant to use the adult-size toilet, so you may want to ease them into the process by using a potty chair. With a Turtle, repetition helps. New ideas need to be offered many times, just like we have to offer new kinds of foods many times before children will learn to like them (sometimes 10 to 15 times!).
The Bottom Line (Pardon the Pun)
Your Turtle is on the potty training journey with you; he just wants it to be at her pace, not yours. Respect his individuality and the way he asserts his needs, even if it sometimes comes across as resistance. Back off, and let your child find his way forward, with your reassurance and guidance along the way. The worst thing you can do is rush your Turtle. Support his decisions with the comfort of his favorite books, characters and routines.

CNN host Don Lemon declared Tuesday that news networks airing President Trump's speeches is akin to providing a platform for Hitler to spread Nazi propaganda.
Lemon argued that Trump should be censored because the Holocaust began with "little lies."
"Think about Hitler," Lemon urged, following Trump's huge rally earlier in the week.
"If you could look back in history, would you say 'well, I'm so glad that that person was allowed a platform so that they could spread their hate, and propaganda, and lies." He asked.
The host also called Trump a racist, claiming that the fact he has not apologised to five black men wrongly accused of rape 30 years ago proves it.
"How the president feels about the Central Park Five, that can be a life or death issue for people like me," Lemon claimed.
Lemon's CNN colleague Chris Cuomo said the comparison of Trump to Hitler is a step too far.
"Comparing anything to an extreme like a Hitler weakens the argument because you are now taking a guy who says things you don't like and comparing him to a genocidal maniac," Cuomo said.
The comparison comes amid a furor surrounding comments made by Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who compared border detention facilities to Nazi concentration camps.
Ocasio-Cortez refused to apologize for the comparison Wednesday, instead doubling down and declaring "If that makes you uncomfortable, fight the camps – not the nomenclature."
DHS ripped 1000s of children from their parents & put them in cages w inhumane conditions.
They call their cells "dog pounds" & "freezers."
I will never apologize for calling these camps what they are.
If that makes you uncomfortable, fight the camps – not the nomenclature. https://t.co/eJpJWeYiot

It seems that all of this talk of needing team members to start a company is more about what others were afraid to do, or could not do, than the actual facts about starting a company and this is nothing new. Emerson talked about this in much detail with his Essay Self-Reliance.
So why is it people don't like Single Founders, well, then as now, "… The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance is its aversion…"
So the talk of the single founder is more about fear of the non-conformist, and VCs, Angel Investors, any funding source, conformity is very high on their list of things important. So what does self-reliance mean to someone hoping to start a business someone hoping to get the flock to purchase something from you? I think it's a balance between what society sees as valuable, and what you know as a self-reliant business founder.
You have to walk this dualistic Yin-Yang, line between getting a pulse for what society wants and trusting your own instincts and convictions in the process. This is a very tough thing to do because society is constantly telling you that you can't do it on your own. I think that once I figure out the formula I will write a book on this subject, actually I think I will write a blog on the subject.
But until I get the blog up and running, I think there is one fatal assumption to all of this a single founder can not start a business, that is that it's impossible for one person to sufficiently maintain each problem sub-domain associated with the problem domain of business, i.e. marketing, operations, development, sales, etc. I think that the key to tackling this can be done in a very scientific way, problem definition, hypothesis, experiment, conclusions, repeat.
There are three large domains as I see it:
- Customer Pain
- Solution Creation
- Communication of solution to customer
Business fails because it can not do one of these things, and you need all three. The business needs to understand the customer pain well enough to get a solution built. The solution needs to solve the pain easily and well enough so that the customer wants to pay for it. And finally, you need a way to communicate this solution to your customer in such a way so they "get it" and are willing to try it.

The fashion wasn't the only thing rocking the Oscar red carpet -- hairstyles were a big hit too!
Sandra Bullock's long, elegant locks and Diane Kruger's tight, clean up-do are simple styles you can work on your own.
Check out celebrity hairstylist Ric Pipino's tips for looking like a star!
Oscar Hair Hits
Elizabeth Banks
Elizabeth looked beautiful with an elegant and perfect chignon. Hair was parted on the side, looking healthy and shiny. It was a glossy and clean look, but had a certain sexiness about it.
How to get the look:
Hair was pulled back into a chignon and parted on one side, then a simple, yet elegant headband was placed in the middle of the head as decoration, to complete the look.
Kate Winslet
Winslet's hair was kept beautiful, long and shiny with a sexy wave at the ends. One side was placed behind the ear and the other was left closer to the face with the ends curled to give a '50s wave, but with a modern style.
How to get the look:
Prep the hair and blow out with a side part, using a texturizing and lifting product like Revolution In Cut Lift Me throughout the ends, then curl hair under using a large barrel curling iron. It's very important to curl the hair under and not sideways or upward and to make sure that you don't curl hair to the roots -- it's a more modern look to keep the curl at the ends.
Sandra Bullock
Bullock's look was elegant, soft and worked beautifully with an evening gown. Hair was left down and pulled back on one side behind the shoulder then swept over the other to show the length. The hair from the root to just before the ends was left straight but textured, with the ends holding a very slight wave.
How to get the look:
Blow out using a large round brush incorporating a good amount of product for hold, texture and shine, such as Revolution In Cut Tousle Me. Tease hair on the crown for a little extra lift and then curl the ends with a large barrel curling iron.
Diane Kruger
Diane's clean, tight chignon was the best one out of the group. The hair was up, with the chignon placed higher on the head, with some lift in the front.The look was quite dramatic and tightly pulled at the sides with more volume at the front.
How to get the look:
Blow out the hair, and prep with a smoothing product. Curl the hair with heated rollers on the top of head for added volume and backcomb the root on the crown of head towards the front, prior to putting it up. Brush out using a flat brush, leaving the volume on top and smoothing out the rest, with emphasis on cleaner sides. Twist hair and pin down as you twist it up. To achieve shine and hold, top off the look with hairspray.
Charlize Theron
Theron's hair was elegantly up with a deep side part. The whole front section was left softer to allow it to sweep over the forehead and over the eye for a sexier look. The rest of the hair was then pulled back into a chignon.
How to get the look:
Part hair on side and blow out using a texturizing styling product and a flat brush, such as a Mason Pearson brush. Separate the entire heavy front section of the hair and then pull the rest of the hair back into a low chignon and twist hair tightly around, securing in a knot using bobby pins and thin, smaller hair pins. Finally, spray with a soft-hold hairspray.

Arugula & Sweet Corn Gnocchi in Cream Sauce
There's something about a great comfort meal on a Sunday night – although I did make this on a weeknight! It's a pretty quick meal, but feels luxurious in it's rich cream sauce. The bite of arugula and pepper and the sweetness of the corn make for quite the flavor.
Arugula & Sweet Corn Gnocchi in Cream Sauce
adapted from vegan monologue
(click through for vegan version)
1 lb potato gnocchi
2 small ears fresh sweet corn, kernels cut off and set aside
3/4 cup half and half
3 oz. cream cheese
1/2 tsp salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
3 cups torn arugula
a few shakes of crushed red pepper
2 tbs flour, plus a little more, just in case
Cook gnocchi according to package and add the corn during the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Do not rinse.
Meanwhile, make cream sauce. Heat the olive oil over medium heat, add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, until just tender. Add half and half, cream cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper in medium saucepan. Cook sauce ingredients over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add reserved pasta water and flour to sauce, stir until thickened. You can add more flour until desired thickness is achieved. Pour cream sauce over gnocchi, stir in arugula, sprinkle red pepper flakes. Sauce will thicken more as it cools. Serve with additional crushed red pepper flakes.

No Longer A Myth: Great, White LED Fixtures
Our friendly and knowledgable sales staff is available Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm to guide you to the ideal solution for your audio, visual and lighting needs. Fill out the form below and we'll get right back to you!
There's a running joke among many lighting folks that the annual LDI convention (www.ldishow.com) should really be called LEDI because of the growing focus on LED fixtures. With energy costs going up and LED fixture prices going down, it's no wonder that LED fixtures are becoming a more popular choice for theatrical use. One of the problems to date though has been that there aren't really good, affordable options to replace the conventional PAR, ellipsoidal and Fresnel fixtures that produce what we feel is natural white light.
Our team has long been searching for a good, affordable LED white light solution for churches. We need strong white light for key lighting, video and long throw situations. RGB LED lights simply won't cut it for those applications.
We work with many churches who don't have adequate power and dimming capabilities. So, finding a low power, non dimmer-dependent solution has been a high priority for us. If we do the math, a good theatrical lighting solution for white light can cost between $500-1,500 per fixture once you count the cost of the fixture, dimming and electrical work. This is why with the right fixture, an economical LED white light solution for theatrical lighting could be more cost effective in both the initial purchase and in the long term power savings.
At November's LDI show our team aggressively searched out new options for LED white fixtures and managed to find a few options that may in fact change the game for LED theatrical fixtures. And we weren't the only ones searching as it seemed like every manufacturer with an LED Ellipsoidal fixture had people lined up to check out their offerings. In fact, while talking to the guys at Chauvet Professional about their new Ovation series, we ran into a lighting tech on a mission. His employer had given him a light meter, a notebook and the task of measuring the brightness of every LED ellipsoidal and fresnel fixture at the show. And his results confirmed what our team saw with our eyes: the new Ovation Series LED fixtures we were standing in front of were the brightest white LED fixtures at the show.
It's finally time to start rethinking our approach to theatrical lighting fixtures. We have a number of options that are nearing the quality of conventional fixtures and won't break the bank. And the great news is more fixtures keep coming out and they keep getting better with more features for the money. If you're looking at a new lighting project and don't already have dimming in place, don't immediately assume that conventional fixtures are the way to go for your theatrical lighting. It might just be the right time to think LED. We've been helping churches make the LED transition for years now. Don't hesitate to call us for more information on how you can save money, reduce maintenance headaches and have a better lit platform with LED theatrical lights!

Got Milk? Throw It Out And Improve Your Athletic Performance
"It's not natural for humans to drink cow's milk. Humans milk is for humans. Cow's milk is for calves. You have no more need of cow's milk than you do rats milk, horses milk or elephant's milk. Cow's milk is a high fat fluid exquisitely designed to turn a 65 lb baby calf into a 400 lb cow. That's what cow's milk is for!" --Dr Michael Klaper MD "I no longer recommend dairy products after the age of 2 years. Other calcium sources offer many advantages that dairy products do not have." --Dr. Benjamin Spock
Milk's Basic ContentsCow's milk is an opaque white liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals that contains a wide range of dangerous and disease-causing substances that have a cumulative negative effect on all who consume it. All cow's milk (regular and 'organic') has 59 active hormones, scores of allergens, lots of fat and cholesterol. Most cow's milk has measurable quantities of herbicides, pesticides, dioxins (up to 200 times the safe levels), up to 52 powerful antibiotics, blood, pus, feces, bacteria and viruses. Cow's milk can have traces of anything the cow ate. Including such things as radioactive fallout from nuke testing (the 1950's strontium-90 problem). Each bite of hard cheese has ten times whatever was in that sip of milk. Because it takes ten pounds of milk to make one pound of cheese. Each bite of ice cream has 12 times and every swipe of butter 21 times whatever is contained in the fat molecules in a sip of milk.
Lots of Fat
Whole milk - 49% of the calories are from fat. "2%" milk - 35% of the calories are from fat. Cheddar cheese - 74% of the calories are from fat. Butter - 100% of the calories are from fat.Most folks suspect that butter is all fat. Most folks have no concept of the just how much fat is in the rest of milk and dairy. Perhaps the 54% of Americans who are obese need to comprehend that milk, ice cream, cheeses, yogurts, and all the other products that use milk derivatives (casein, whey, lactose, colostrum) are most likely a significant cause for their weight and health problem. Good news! Large fat molecules cannot get through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. Bad news... Milk producers use a process called homogenization that breaks up those large fat molecules into small ones that do get into the bloodstream! They do this to prevent the cream in the milk from rising to the top. These tiny fat molecules now become an expressway for any fat-borne toxins (lead, dioxin's, etc.) into your (otherwise) mostly protected organs.
Need Calcium? Don't Look to MilkWhere do you think the cows get their calcium for their big bones? You don't see full-grown cows drinking milk. Yes... from plants! They get enough calcium from the plants they consume. These plants also have large amounts of magnesium, which is necessary for the body to absorb and use the calcium. Also, the calcium in cow's milk is basically useless because it has insufficient magnesium content (those nations with the highest amount of milk/dairy consumption also have the highest rates of osteoporosis. Proof? How about a controlled study of 78,000 nurses over a period of 12 years? In order to be absorbed and used, there must be an equal quantity of magnesium (as exists in the greens that cows eat to get all the calcium they need for their big bones). Milk has only enough magnesium to absorb around 11% (33mg per cup) of calcium. Per the USDA 8 ounces (one cup) of cows milk contains 291 mg of Calcium and only 32.8 mg of Magnesium. It is not a matter of how much calcium you ingest, but how much you do not lose.
Healthy Sources of CalciumThere are many great sources of calcium that are not dairy: Calcium In 100 Calories of:
- Bok Choy- 1,055 mg
- Turnip Greens- 921 mg

Salesforce.com Inc.'s deal to buy MuleSoft Inc. is the most expensive acquisition the cloud-software pioneer has ever made, and the reasoning for paying such a large premium seems pretty thin.
MuleSoft specializes in application programming interfaces, or APIs, which help companies access or unlock their data in a wide range of computer systems, from legacy systems to mobile phones. The company is especially helpful in making different cloud-software programs work together on networks that rely on cloud computing to support mobile employees.
MuleSoft is a good business and revenue has grown swiftly, but there are some issues with how it will work within a much larger software company, as well as the price Salesforce is paying. A common question from analysts in a conference call the companies held Tuesday afternoon — possibly second behind "Why isn't Marc Benioff on this call?" — focused on customers typically wanting an independent vendor for the type of service MuleSoft provides, since it has to interact with so many different programs from different companies.
Opinion: Cloud-based software stocks still have a long runway of growth
"Part of the value of MuleSoft is its true neutrality, and I just kind of think about what happens to that under the umbrella of Salesforce because obviously you guys are a leading applications vendor," John DiFucci, a Jefferies analyst, said on the call.
MuleSoft Chief Executive Greg Schott said he was going to remain the CEO of the business, and continue to run it with an eye toward maintaining independence.
"Everybody fully understood the importance of that neutrality, and how we have to make sure that that is there," Schott said.
Mulesoft's valuation could be a bigger sticking point for investors. The company went public on St. Patrick's Day last year and opened with a valuation of about $3 billion, less than half what Salesforce values the company at today. Sales grew nearly 58% last year to $297 million, but that growth rate is expected to slow to less than 40% in the coming years.
"Takeout valuation is on the richer side relative to prior deals in the software space," Mizuho Securities analyst Abhey Lamba wrote in a note.
Lamba added that Salesforce paid around 10 times the past 12 months' revenue in its $2.8 billion deal for Demandware in 2016, which was previously Salesforce's biggest acquisition. With MuleSoft, Salesforce is paying nearly 22 times last year's revenue total and 16 times estimates for revenue for the next 12 months.
See also: Salesforce stock carves out new records as analyst lovefest continues
In response to a question about valuation, Salesforce executives said MuleSoft is powerful in a category of the IT market that is "very hot" and "growing at a very, very fast clip." It would have been nice to hear Benioff go into more detail, but he was in another meeting that was apparently more important.
Perhaps the company was afraid of a bigger software company with a stronger balance sheet coming in and stealing MuleSoft away, as it experienced in 2016 with Microsoft
No matter the reason, Salesforce has agreed to pay the price of a prize thoroughbred for MuleSoft, without any guarantee that it will grow into that type of valuation. Salesforce is going to have to prove that it can keep MuleSoft's neutrality and not lose any customers to justify such a large price tag.
Salesforce shares have gained 53% in the last 12 months, while the Dow Jones Industrial

PHP5 constructor
Should we enforce the PHP5 constructor __construct() instead of $classname() Nicolas Connault 19:55, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
- +1. I think we agreed about that some time ago (when igniting some 2.0 developments) --Eloy Lafuente (stronk7) 00:03, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Inline comments
I have been using since ages ago "///" with outer alignment (I think that it was caused by some agreement long time ago, not my decision), for example:
function check_moodle_environment(..., ..., ..., ...) { $status = true; /// This are cached per request static $result = true; static $env_results; static $cache_exists = false; /// if we have results cached, use them if ($cache_exists) { $environment_results = $env_results; /// No cache exists, calculate everything } else { /// Get the more recent version before the requested if (!$version = get_latest_version_available($version, $env_select)) { $status = false; } .... ....
Is that allowed, or only the "//" with inner alignment as commented at inline comments --Eloy Lafuente (stronk7) 00:03, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
I did start doing all mine this way, but if you look at the code it seems you and I are the only ones. :P It seems sensible to make the standard fit what most people are used to (and how most of the code looks). -- Martin Dougiamas 06:02, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Eloy and Martin, this the only thing which consistently offends me about moodle coding style! Please go inline like all the cool kids ;-) --Dan Poltawski 00:15, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
LOL. +1 for inline in even lines + out in odd one :-P (seriously np with inline at all, it's only one habit easily modifiable) --Eloy Lafuente (stronk7) 01:03, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Trailing spaces
"Lines should not contain trailing spaces. In order to facilitate this convention, most editors can be configured to strip trailing spaces, such as upon a save operation. However, if you are editing an existing Moodle file and are planning to submit your changes to CVS, please switch off that feature so that whitespace changes do not pollute CVS history (other developers will have trouble viewing what you've done if every other line has been edited for whitespace)." Wouldn't the CVS history only get 'polluted' when someone fetched a file that DIDN'T follow this principle and returned it following the principle? Isn't that the price that has to be paid to clean things up? Otherwise this is pretty scary for someone who feels: "Great I can turn on my editor to autostrip those when saving. BUT I have to remember to turn that off if submitting it! (Or become a 'polluter'!)" And what happens if I have already saved it locally while working on (and striped those trailing spaces) and later try to commit it. Maybe my ignorance about CVS is making me pose a "silly" question. Jeff Forssell 07:17, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
- Jeff, the point with coding guidelines is that all new code must follow all the guidelines. With old bad code, mostly it is better to make the smallest change necessary when, for example, you fix a bug. That makes it clearest what the purpose of your change was. However, any line you do change while fixing the bug, you can then improve the coding style on that line.
- Really good editors actually have an option "Strip trailing whitespace when saving a file - but only from lines that I have edited", which is what you really want.
- The real way to avoid being a CVS polluter is to follow the best practice and always do a cvs diff and review all your changes (and if necessary amend them) before you do a CVS commit.--Tim Hunt 03:52, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Breaking up lines (e.g. huge arrays)
The coding style says to align the start of the following lines with the element in the first.. e.g.
$myarray = array( 'fred' => 'blue', 'tom' => 'green' );
I have to say I don't like this. While it looks very pretty it is a code maintenance nightmare. If you change (say) the array name you have to change every other line just to keep it looking nice. Surely if you must have it looking like this, do this...
$myarray = array( 'fred' => 'blue', 'tom' => 'green' );
It's the same issue with long lists of assignments - making all the RHSs line up. Completely unnecessary and just asking for errors. Don't encourage people to change code that they don't have to. If they don't touch it then they can't break it. --Howard Miller 13:52, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
- Agree 100% with Howard, I prefer the 2nd alternative for sure, if not always, at least in places where indentation is already considerable. BTW, same for harcoded SQLs and other strings. --Eloy Lafuente (stronk7) 13:58, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
- +1 from me too for a fixed indent for follow-on lines. Actually I have always used 8-spaces (double the normal indent) ever since I started programming in Java and read their docing guidelines. I think it is helpful to have a different level of indent for a follow-on line and a block.
- Sure, makes sense. I've fixed the docs. The only exception IMO would be wrapping function parameters, which just look too wierd to me if you wrap them the same as arrays. See the example. -- Martin Dougiamas 06:08, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- At the expense of some white space...
public function graded_users_iterator( $course, $grade_items = null, $groupid = 0, $sortfield1 = 'lastname', $sortorder1 = 'ASC', $sortfield2 = 'firstname', $sortorder2 = 'ASC') {
- There is an argument that a function is badly thought out if it needs line after line of parameters. Won't go there though :-) --Howard Miller 09:51, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Function and method declaration
Coding_style#Function_and_method_declaration says "Don't leave spaces between the function name and the opening parenthesis for the arguments." and yet the example below it completely disregards it. Please fix it. --Kumaraguru G 21:32, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, Kumaraguru. This is a wiki so you can just do it yourself ;-) --Frank Ralf 21:45, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Frank, the page is protected and I don't have edit access :) --Kumaraguru G 00:30, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
- Oops, sorry, totally forgot about that. --Frank Ralf 06:11, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- I just fixed that, and a few other things I noticed.--Tim Hunt 03:13, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Frank, the page is protected and I don't have edit access :) --Kumaraguru G 00:30, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
When you have shoved too much into one function
I'll just quote the Linus Torvalds in the Linux Kernel coding style guide because he says it perfectly...
Chapter 6: Functions Functions should be short and sweet, and do just one thing. They should fit on one or two screenfuls of text (the ISO/ANSI screen size is 80x24, as we all know), and do one thing and do that well. The maximum length of a function is inversely proportional to the complexity and indentation level of that function. So, if you have a conceptually simple function that is just one long (but simple) case-statement, where you have to do lots of small things for a lot of different cases, it's OK to have a longer function. However, if you have a complex function, and you suspect that a less-than-gifted first-year high-school student might not even understand what the function is all about, you should adhere to the maximum limits all the more closely. Use helper functions with descriptive names (you can ask the compiler to in-line them if you think it's performance-critical, and it will probably do a better job of it than you would have done). Another measure of the function is the number of local variables. They shouldn't exceed 5-10, or you're doing something wrong. Re-think the function, and split it into smaller pieces. A human brain can generally easily keep track of about 7 different things, anything more and it gets confused. You know you're brilliant, but maybe you'd like to understand what you did 2 weeks from now.
The answer to that is that if you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you're screwed anyway, and should fix your program.
+1 for adopting this into the coding style guide --Gerard Caulfield 17:28, 28 February 2012 (WST)
Running empty lines
I propose to allow only single empty line as a separator. We can get rid of running empty lines at once using
for file in `find . -name "*.php"`; do cat -s $file > /tmp/cat.php && cat /tmp/cat.php > $file ; done;
If agreed, the fix of the template for the beginning of a file is needed. --David Mudrak 15:25, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
- I use a single line everywhere, except that I use two blank lines between classes. I don't think we need to make a big deal about this.--Tim Hunt 09:42, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
File comments
1. About packages. I think what is there is OK. Separate packages for moodlecore and plugs. However, I don't think it is sufficient. There are some parts of the code (I am thinking of question) that are relatively self-contained. I think it is silly to put them all in moodlecore. I would rather use packages questionbank and questionengine. Is that OK. If so, can someone (I am happy to) add this to the docs. message, notes and comments may be other good candidates for separate packages. Also course and user.--Tim Hunt 10:10, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
- Martin Dougiamas 06:31, 5 October 2009 (UTC): The problem is that we don't want to have hundreds of packages in the list at the top of http://phpdocs.moodle.org/HEAD/index.html so this has to be controlled. In fact we already have all the ones you mentioned there ... there seems to be some confusion with different guesses/versions at what the name should be (group/groups is one example). I'm against courses and users because functions for these are in many different mixed files. We have the new Moodle API externallib.php files in 2.0 which will really list all the main functions people would need. Frankly it's a mess and I think trying to add lots more distinction makes it worse... The main thing we were trying to do was separate core from modules.
- I disagree. It is stupid to worry about the list of packages being so long that it is difficult to understand if, once you get into a particular package, the list of stuff in there is so long it is completely incomprehensible. The whole point of packages is to break the codebase up into manageable and relatively independent chunks to help people understand it.
- Really, the problem here is that the PHPdocumentor template we are using is not up to the job of displaying a project as big as Moodle. We should use a template more like the JavaDoc on (http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/). That scales much better. Job for Jordan?
- And it would make sense to ensure that all the core packages were listed together. Perhpas we should adopt a convention like core-question-bank and core-question-engine for core sub-packages. I agree that too many packages would still be a mistake, but so is too few.--Tim Hunt 08:37, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
- Martin Dougiamas 12:58, 5 October 2009 (UTC): Isn't that what we have subpackages for? We're using them that way all over the place already (eg see blog and deprecated etc under moodlecore). That makes more sense to me than going for long names. At least for now. A lot of core functions are not as easy to separate as questions might be, and if we do it for some and not others then we have to explain that decision-making process too ...
- Tim Hunt 20:32, 5 October 2009 (UTC) OK. I am happy to use subpackages. I'll follow those two examples.
2. The OU likes me to put
* @copyright © 2006 The Open University
which is fair enough. In this case, I think it would make sense to add an extra
* @author ...
tag, even though in other cases we don't require them.--Tim Hunt 10:10, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
- Martin Dougiamas 06:31, 5 October 2009 (UTC): Sorry but I totally disagree this should be in a @author tag at all. You are probably not the sole author in the first place, and others will edit them in future and think they have to start adding their own name to any file they touch. It gets contentious. That's why we pulled them all out in the first place. CVS has full author information for every line, no need to put it in the file. You can put your name in the comments at the top of you like (something like "Initially written by Tim Hunt").
- Ah, fair enough. I was forgetting that the purpose of that like was just to make the copyright owner clear. I completely agree with you about not duplicating information in CVS.--Tim Hunt 08:37, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
I just updated the bit about @package names, following discussion and a clear consensus with Petr: http://moodle.org/mod/cvsadmin/view.php?conversationid=4294.--Tim Hunt 10:47, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Wrapping Control Structures
The example given suggests that:
if (f() and g()) { }
is equivalent to:
$tmp1 = f(); $tmp2 = g(); if ($tmp1 and $tmp2){ }
But in the former g() is evaluated only if f() returns a value that is true (in a boolean context).
I suggest something like
$coursecategory = $element['object']->is_course_item() or $element['object']->is_category_item(); if ($coursecategory) { $scalevalue = in_array($element['object']->gradetype, array(GRADE_TYPE_SCALE, GRADE_TYPE_VALUE)); if ($scalevalue){
I also suggest that the code fragments in GOOD and BAD be made to agree in the rest of the logic. (GOOD has form ((a or b) and c) while BAD has form ((a or b) and (c or d)).

Here's some code thought to be BAD, improved with temporaries (and a probably trivial change of meaning).
$eo = element['object']; $eog = $eo->gradetype; if (($eo->is_course_item() or $eo->is_category_item()) and ($eog == GRADE_TYPE_SCALE or $eog == GRADE_TYPE_VALUE)) {
There. The BAD code is now not so bad after all. User:jfine 00:76, 1 Aug 2010 (UTC)
Database code
I would suggest the following database coding guidelines
- Linked to Developer_FAQ#How_do_I_insert.2Fretrieve_records_in_the_database.2C_without_creating_my_own_database_connections.3F --Frank Ralf 10:54, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
Database code using SQL
- Where possible, use the plain get_records, get_recordset, etc functions instead of the _sql variants.
- Correct
$DB->get_record('course', array('id' => $id));
- Wrong
$DB->get_record_sql('SELECT * FROM {course} WHERE id=?', array($id));
- When using SQL code, do not add variable parameters directly into the string. Instead, use the new methods for including parameters.
- Correct
$DB->get_record_sql('SELECT * FROM {course} WHERE id <> ?', array($exceptid));
- Wrong
$DB->get_record_sql('SELECT * FROM {course} WHERE id <> ' . $exceptid);
(Using parameters properly avoids possible serious security holes.)
- When using SQL code, do not use the $CFG->prefix variable. Instead use the new {tablename} syntax.
- Correct
$DB->get_record_sql('SELECT * FROM {course} WHERE id <> ?', array($exceptid));
- Wrong
$DB->get_record_sql("SELECT * FROM {$CFG->prefix}course WHERE id <> ?', array($exceptid));
Formatting arrays
As reported by Tomasz Muras in MDLSITE-1187:
- have a look at section https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Coding_style#Wrapping_Arrays that describes multi-line associate arrays
- update https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Coding_style#Associative_arrays :
- the indentation should be 8 spaces (not 4)
- put closing bracket and semicolon ); at the end of previous line 'secondkey' => 'secondvalue' to make it consistent
--Helen Foster 14:06, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- Acutally, Martin chose to do arrays like that. You can argue that it is inconsistent, but actually it looks nice, so I like it the way it currently is in Coding style.--Tim Hunt 16:30, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
String Concatenation
Multiline strings should use a sensible approach. While most people put the concatenator at the end of the line, it's much clearer if they're at the start of the line. That way you don't have to look up a line and over to see if the line is actually the same string or a new one. Additionally, it moves a character from the end of the line to unused space at the start of line which is just a little bit more efficient use of horizontal space.
$string = 'This is a very long and stupid string because '.$editorname. " couldn't think of a better example at the time.";
should be
$string = 'This is a very long and stupid string because '. $editorname . " couldn't think of a better example at the time.";
This doesn't have to be required, but it should be allowed, or else you're enforcing poor style. --Tyler Bannister 01:27, 16 July 2011 (WST)
More detailed suggestion for doc comments
This is from local stuff. I wrote more detailed guidelines about doc comments. Note these are actually a bit different from the one in the guidelines (I don't think it was there then?) (by 'different' I mean 'correct') but the main point is there is more detail about some of it.
Which functions need comments?
Every function should have a comment except:
- Comments are welcome, but optional, for private functions (any function in a class that has the 'private' keyword). Generally you might omit comments for a simple private function, but include them for a complicated one.
- Comments are optional and generally not recommended for a function that is defined in a base class. In that case it is usually more appropriate to use the base class definition.
Here is an example PHPdoc function comment. An explanation follows.
/** * Obtains the key from underneath the mat or flowerpot. Tries the * mat first. * * Due to variations in the total perspective vortex, it may sometimes * be necessary to borrow the key for other functions. In that case, * this function will throw an exception. * * @param door_accessory $mat Welcome mat * @param string $flowerpot Flowerpot - e.g. 'bill and ben' * @return object Key with fields ->id, ->name, ->secretcode * @throws moodle_exception If key not present */ function get_key(door_accessory $mat, $flowerpot) {
The first part of the comment, before any @commands, is the description.
- The description should be one or more sentences ending in a full stop. It can run across multiple lines of text.
- If you need a really long description you can leave blank lines in the middle of the description to indicate a paragraph break.
- There should be a blank line after the description.
- The first sentence of the description summarises what the function does. It should be of the form 'Gets...', 'Sets...', 'Displays...', 'Loads...', etc. (This might not technically be a full sentence; you can imagine inserting the words 'This function' before the start in order to turn it into one.)
- You can leave out the description altogether if the function is adequately described by @param and/or @return values (this is usually the case for simple get_whatever and set_whatever functions).
@param, @return, @throws
These should all be formatted similarly.
- Immediately after the @-keyword you need to define a type.
- If the variable is an object, use the class name of the object (e.g. door_accessory). For stdClass objects, use the keyword object.
- If it is a primitive type, use a keyword from this list: string, int, bool, number, array.
- If the variable might have multiple possible types, list them with | symbol and no space e.g. int|string|carbon_based_lifeform.
- An explanation follows (after the parameter name, in the case of @param).
- The explanation should be short, frequently two or three words.
- It should begin with a capital letter.
- It must be a single line. If it needs to be longer, put it up top in the description part instead.
- It does not need to be a full sentence and should not end in a full stop. Use comma, semicolon or dash if you need more than one clause.
- It's OK to duplicate the variable name when there is nothing else to say.
- For string variables it is a good idea to include an example of suitable parameter.
- For int variables where the int should be a constant, indicate which kind of constant, e.g. @param int $format Moodle FORMAT_xx constant
- For stdClass object variables, it is often useful to indicate which fields are required or returned, e.g. @param object $course Course object with at least ->id and ->shortname fields
- For @throws, normally begin with 'if' so that the line can be read 'Throws moodle_exception if something goes wrong' (@throws moodle_exception If something goes wrong)
- If you want to indicate that a function doesn't return a value, don't include an @return line.
@global, @uses
Do not use @global or @uses; the syntax is horrible and it makes a mess of the doc block when reading it as part of the code.
--sam marshall 00:26, 26 November 2011 (WST)
@var syntax
I think there is one miss-interpretation of the examples @ phpdocs @var. The correct format to document such tags is, like params, like everything else: @var + type + description, aka, the description AFTER the tag.
And I've seen a lot of bad uses assuming that the line BEFORE the tag is the description. 100% wrong IMO. And now there is one wrong example in this page. Please amend it. Descriptions go, always, after the tag. The comment before the tag are, simply, comments, no descriptions!
--Eloy Lafuente (stronk7) 17:04, 15 February 2012 (WST)
require() vs require_once()
I've just noticed that numerous examples refer to require rather than require_once. This seems to be something Petr has added, yet there are 3992 instances of require_once() and 250 instances of require() in the Moodle codebase. Is there rationale for require? --Dan Poltawski 17:33, 4 January 2012 (WST)
Please can we not do @return void
The change made here is horrible: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/index.php?title=Coding_style&action=historysubmit&diff=31619&oldid=31616
The purpose of PHPdoc is to document the API of a function/method - so that people calling the function know how to use it. Whether the code inside the method just gets to the end and returns, or there is an earlier explicit return; is an implementation detail. Therefore, that detail should not affect what is written in the PHPdocs.
See also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2061550/phpdoc-return-void-necessary (found by Eloy) - which says this is incorrect.--Tim Hunt 18:16, 20 January 2012 (WST)
- +1 to avoid "@return void" completely - adds no value and is 75% incorrect (25% correct, if we assume imagination is accepted) --Eloy Lafuente (stronk7) 18:21, 20 January 2012 (WST)
- +1 to avoid "@return void", -1 to "found by Eloy" chat log says no =P --Gerard Caulfield 17:55, 15 February 2012 (WST)
- LoL, Gerard, I really found it (myself). But ok, np, credit goes to you, LoL --Eloy Lafuente (stronk7) 18:35, 16 February 2012 (WST)
- +-0 - void tells us that the function wasn't written to return any data. not even null. so even though php returns a technical null when a function runs to the end and returns, the developer can know that it is void of any meaning and steer clear of any misconceptions and misuse. That is the slight added value - seeing that slight bit more about our dearly written function. --09:32, 22 February 2012 (WST)Aparup Banerjee
Wrapping Control Structures
The "GOOD" example given is as follows:
$coursecategory = $element['object']->is_course_item() or $element['object']->is_category_item(); $scalevalue = in_array($element['object']->gradetype, array(GRADE_TYPE_SCALE, GRADE_TYPE_VALUE)); if ($coursecategory and $scalevalue) {
This appears like it could make good use of short circuit evaluation, however we appear to be discouraging it. This could lead to performance problems if this rule were to be followed everywhere. Perhaps a better example instead of in_array() could be used? Putting the in_array() statement into a funciton and then calling the function from inside the conditional would keep the readability advantages while also documenting what the statement is actually trying to achieve, while not sacraficing performance. It is perhaps not ideal, but probably better than what we have in the example. There are other options, but as it stands I'm not sure what we currently have is a great example of "GOOD". Discuss... --Gerard Caulfield 17:48, 15 February 2012 (WST)
Request for clarification, file/classes phpdocs fallback
If one file has @category CAT, @package PACK, @license LIC and, @copyright COP.
And all classes and methods within it have exactly the same... do we need to repeat them in all classes? Or automatic fallback (inheritance) of all them is assumed? it's not clear in the Docs page, right now. It only talks about files with ONE class.
Edited: phpDocumentor says that they must be specified everywhere because no fallback from file to class happen. The only exception is that inheritance between classes happen at least for @package. They strongly recommend to specify the @package tag everywhere, but don't say mush about the rest of tags. So, surely we need to decide and later make System X to work accordingly.
--Eloy Lafuente (stronk7) 20:31, 21 February 2012 (WST)
- Well, 1. heading towards a coding style where each file contains one PHP class might be a good thing anyway. 2. Martin has always said to put @copyright and @license onto each class, because they are a unit of code that people are quite likely to copy-and-paste into their own projects. 3. duplication is a pain in the bum, but if necessary it is not the end of the world.--Tim Hunt 22:02, 21 February 2012 (WST)
Proposed change to inline comments style (CONTRIB-3564)
Some days ago it was asked @ HQ chat if anybody had anything against to "enforce" the "// " (2 slash + space) rule more clearly. Nobody issued any -1.
So, with the work performed @ CONTRIB-3564 this is a request to change the "Inline_comments" section in the coding style from:
Inline comments should use the // style, laid out neatly so that it fits among the code and lines up with it.
Inline comments must use the "// " (2 slashes + whitespace) style, laid out neatly so that it fits among the code and lines up with it. Also, beginning with uppercase and using correct punctuation marks at the end is recommended.
(and, of course, change all the examples along the page to fulfill those rules and recommendations.
Ciao :-)
- This has been applied to the rules, ciao :-) --Eloy Lafuente (stronk7) 18:54, 2 April 2012 (WST)
Filenames standardisation
https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Coding_style#Filenames does not say how should the files be named (file_names_like_this.php vs filenameslikethis.php). At the moment we have a mix but we could decide that we use one naming convention for the new files at least.
+1 for file_names_like_this.php --Tomasz Muras 00:59, 4 April 2012 (WST)

A few weeks ago we broke the news that Executive Caddie, the premier and highly rated golfing assistance app for Windows Phone, was getting a makeover and an upgrade for the Nokia Collection. That means that if you own a Lumia 610, 700, 800 or the big 900 you're entitled to a custom version of the app made for your phone for free.
At the time we reported on those "exclusive" features for Executive Caddie +:
- Tournament scoring
- Real-time leaderboards
- Group heckling with toast notifications
- Additional social features
- Themes to match the Lumias, including Cyan, Magenta, White and Nokia Blue
But the biggy was an augmented reality tool called Golfscope described as
"...an augmented reality view of players on the golf course with live player and scorecard information. Basically, a player can point his phone at any other player on the course and the player's avatar and round summary will appear in the overlay. The overlay can be tapped to see the other player's scores, stats, and other round information in real-time. GolfScope is a patent pending technology."
We promised we'd show you what that actually looks like and as you can see in the video above, GolfScope is ready to go. We should note that what you see in that video is not a simulation, that's an actual live demonstration of GolfScope from a Nokia Lumia 900 that has vide-out capabilities (yeah, devs get some great tools).
We're expecting the exclusive Nokia version of Executive Caddie + to land in the Nokia Collection in a few weeks. We'll keep you posted. In the meantime, if you golf and don't have a Lumia you can still get the regular Executive Caddie for free in the Marketplace.

Picking up the PIeces
Harvard Design alumni Carson Chan and Fotini Lazaridou-Hatzigoga conceived their Program (http://www.programonline.de/) non-profit project space in Berlin as a critical forum for examining the significance ofarchitecture. For each exhibition, artists engage the special character of the spacious white-walled ground level of the former Russian-owned Hotel Newa to explore the space's identity as a gallery and, by extrapolation, the gallery's relationship to Berlin.
For "Immediate Archaeologies," Program's current show, horeographer Morgan Belenguer and architect/artist Luis Berríos-Negrón have blocked off almost the entire gallery, offering viewers only a small sliver of plywood space leading from the entrance into a dead-end in which to manoeuvre.
On one side of this walk-way is a long rectangular wood box hanging at eye-level. Peering into its peep-holes, one sees objects associated with construction, including long rusty nails and bits of building materials, lit and carefully displayed like archaeological artifacts.
Encountered under these circumstances, the prosaic and worn-out items take on a totemic importance and also a surprising charm. Installations where normally unremarkable items are presented in museum-like conditionsare not uncommon as institutional critiques. But this piece seems less aggressively in opposition to the concept of the gallery as a meaning-making institution and more like a playfully appreciative homage to thestrange, gnarled beauty of the banal bits and pieces themselves.
On the walk-way's opposite side a wall with small slips carved through it is positioned where viewers can look at the remains of a performance that occurred during the opening and is viewable in its entirety on the Program website. The view through the wall is of clusters of random-seeming stuff placed inbizarre formations which the twenty-four vignettes screened on the website show the collaborators ritualistically arranging.
In one of the vignettes, titled "Digging, "concrete dust is cut up into lines like cocaine with a credit card. In another, called "Drawing," similar dust is pushed around with a brush. "Dicking" shows one of the artists, dressed in a pink tank top and dancers' harem pants, placing a cushion against the wall and then determinately positioning it with a wood plank so that it remained upright. In the other videos, more objects are moved, positioned and structured. "Support" shows a blue shirt removed from the floor, where an outline of dust marks its spotlike chalk around a corpse, and carried by the artist to a place where he props two oddly shaped wood pieces together to hang the shirt.
None of these actions or the resulting forms are as interesting as what previous shows at Program produced. But "Immediate Archaeologies" is a dynamic example of how fruitful the curators' mission has been. It is a show that makes one think about the process involved in making and then occupying a space and how happenstance, experiment, problem-solving and play can produce the solid structures in which our lives are lived.
