Paris Made Simple
Be sure there are comments from renters - not just hand picked ones (although VacationinParis does just that) - so you can see the good, the bad and the ugly. Remember, not everyone has a good experience. A bad experience can be influenced by many things - including not enough prior research or asking enough questions and even jet lag.
When you see apartments listed as 2 bedrooms, that often includes "sleeps" or sleeping accommodations in a living room - like a pull-out couch or futon. Generally, this doesn't mean two bedrooms separate from the living area. This is just the way French people see rooms.
"Piece" is a room in an apartment. So if you see an apartment that is "deux pieces" than it means there are two rooms, not two bedrooms.
Beware of weird floor plans - if that's something you are concerned with. Sometimes the bathroom is way off the little kitchen. Or, you may have to walk through one bedroom to get to another.
Many bathrooms are just a room with a bath or shower and a sink. The "toilet" may be a separate room. Some people like this, especially when traveling with friends instead of family - others do not. Bathrooms can also be tiny!! Remember, many of these "authentic Parisian" buildings are really old and never had bathrooms originally, so they've been squeezed in where ever plumbing can be piped.
If there is a washer and/or dryer in the apartment, they will often be in the kitchen or bathroom.
Bed size - Beds are sometimes listed as full when they are actually queen and vice versa. It's just a misunderstanding by the renter. Generally, the equivalent of a full or double bed is 140 cm X 200 cm, a queen is 160 cm X 200 cm.
Read the description carefully - it's the only way to know what you'll be getting with the rental fee. Fees are sometimes added - like agency and cleaning fees. Some apartments are well stocked, but many don't supply much at all.
I like to do a Google Map search for the nearest grocery store. If you arrive on Saturday, remember that most stores will be closed on Sunday. Be prepared to do a quick shopping trip so you don't run out of toilet paper and food!
Know your physical abilities - Many apartments in traditional Parisian buildings have no elevator. Usually, the better the view or the bigger the terrace, the more you'll need to climb. Also, some apartments are on two levels and the stairs up to the bedroom may be quite steep, while the bathroom is on the floor below.
If you have questions, ask the owner or agency - Sometimes the descriptions are brief or a bit confusing as they are written by French speaking employees. I became an expert at asking about the kind of mattress in the apartment!
Consider all that is included in the price - Hotels may or may not include wi-fi, cable, English speaking channels, free calls home, a computer, or even a coffee pot. Again, it's why I love apartments as most have internet included as well as free local calls at the very least.
Don't rule out places that are not in the center of Paris - The center of Paris is where everyone wants to be and so it's the most expensive. But if you study the subway map, you may find an apartment farther out that is much less expensive but easy to get to everything. The cafes and restaurants "out there" are also less expensive, less harried and more friendly
The French are very creative with the limited space they have - you may find the main bed in a studio or a second bed is in a loft, accessible with a ladder.
The apartment that you rented last time and fell in love with may not be available for your next trip. People sometimes sell, move into or rent the apartment long-term, taking it out of the tourist rental market.
Consider the noise factor - Paris is a large city that lives late. Using Google Maps to "see" the neighborhood. Most refurbished apartments will have double glazed windows which shut out almost all the noise. But if it's summer, be sure there is a fan to help keep you comfortable with the windows closed.

Urantsetseg Munkhbat underlined her status as World Number one by winning the -48kg title.
The Mongolian beat world number eight and double European champion, Eva Csernoviczki of Hungary.
The -52 kilo title fight was a rematch of the World Championships final in Chelyabinsk.
World number one and double World Champion, Majlinda Kelmendi of Kosova once again got the better of Romania's Andreea Chitu – who won the last Judo Grand Prix in Tashkent.

Telma Monteiro reigned supreme in the women's -57 kilo class.

Dzmitry Shershan wasted little time in winning the -66 kilo title.
The Belarussian judoka needed just 45 second to dispatch Azerbaijan's Tarlan Karimov.
Shershan won top spot on the podium with an immobilisation for ippon.

Cast: Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra, Katrina Kaif
Direction: Vijay Krishna Acharya
Rating: ****
'Dhoom 3' is big on style and completely delivers on the entertainment quotient. The fact that it comes at a cost of suspension of logic at times, I guess is a given. What rankles is that a film with Aamir Khan is expected to have some kind of coherence to rationale. The film's adherence to plot points slips every now and then but they make up for it with super chase sequences.
The 'Dhoom' franchise has always been obsessed with the anti-hero. From Hrithik Roshan's different looks in 'Dhoom 2' to the suspense around who will be chosen as the next villain has always garnered attention. Much before the shooting started we were already discussing who would be the female lead opposite Aamir Khan, what would be his look, what would be different in this installment of the action flick?
I guess as far as the anticipation around the anti-hero is concerned, 'Dhoom 3' does complete justice – Aamir's screen presence from his very first appearance is commanding. His well-chiseled body as he looks over the Chicago skyline, his open challenge to the police and the sequences where he drives dangerously through downtown, shows that Aamir relishes brandishing his craft, every time attempting a role that is completely different from what he has ever done before. More than once you find the audience breaking into spontaneous applause.
And because you know Aamir's craft you wonder why you never see him execute any of the robberies, you repeatedly see the chase but never the actual act. You would excuse this in the prequels but not when Mr Perfectionist is involved. It also baffles you when you see that the climax is as predictable as the rest of the series.
Even though you understand that the actual heroes wouldn't actually have much to do in this film, it is still exasperating to see Abhishek Bachchan sleepwalk through another film. I guess he still feels that getting cast in a film is his birthright. He plays his role straight, bringing no variation or novelty to his portrayal. Abhishek's character has been so relegated to the background that the director doesn't even bother with providing him with a romantic interest any longer.
Jai (Abhishek) and Ali (Uday Chopra) have no spunk and bring zero comic relief. Their wisecracks have been done to death and I couldn't manage a genuine laugh in all the banter that kept going back and forth.
Kudos to Katrina Kaif for having us take notice of her in a role that is a little longer than a cameo. Watching her in 'Kamli' and 'Malang', as her skin shimmers and she displays immense flexibility and fitness, you realize how much hard work has gone into preparing for it.
It is sad that the romantic track and the emotional bits just pull down the pace of the plot. It is also interesting to see how Jai (Abhishek Bachchan) uses emotional manipulation as bait, clearly incapable of doing anything smarter. With better opponents for the very savvy illusionist/joker/thief the film would have been at a completely different experience.
Except the 'Malang' song there's not much to say about Pritam's music.
If you are still wondering why I gave the film 4 stars after all I have said, I must accede that the 4 star rating is very generous and it is because the film was super entertainment, the first half really has edge-of-the seat tension and the twists are really well executed. To give the film its due it is definitely the best 'Dhoom'.

Thomas Hunt Morgan Pioneer of Genetics
For most of his fellow Kentuckians, the accomplishments of Thomas Hunt Morgan have been overshadowed by the Civil War exploits of his uncle, the Confederate raider. Thomas Hunt Morgan: Pioneer of Genetics shows that feats performed on the frontiers of science can be as exciting as battlefield heroics, and that the "other Morgan" was as colorful a man as the general.
Thomas Hunt Morgan's most noted work, done between 1910 and 1920 at Columbia University, revealed many of the secrets if genetics. Studying hundreds of generations of the fruit fly Drosophilia melanogaster, he and the other scientists in the laboratory called the Fly Room made basic discoveries about chromosomes and the mechanism of inheritance. For these discoveries, which profoundly affected biological theory, Morgan was awarded a Nobel Prize―the first ever given for research in genetics.

CARY – A Chicago private equity firm announced plans Tuesday to buy Cary-based Sage Products.
Madison Dearborn Partners said that it had signed an agreement to acquire Sage Products Inc., a disposable health care products maker and one of the largest area employers with more than 700 employees.
Sage officials said they remain committed to the village and the larger McHenry County community.
"With Madison Dearborn Partners, Sage will be looking to grow and expand our workforce here in Cary as well as our sales force domestically and internationally," Sage Products President and Chief Operating Officer Scott Brown told the Northwest Herald in an email Tuesday evening. "Sage was attractive to Madison Dearborn Partners because of our company's growth, innovative products, leadership team, our culture and our relationships within the community."
In 2010, Sage spent $7.5 million to expand its headquarters and production facility at 3909 Three Oaks Road in Cary. The McHenry County Board voted in late 2010 to issue $5.68 million in stimulus bonds to the company to finance the 170,000-square-foot addition, which the county said was expected to create up to 250 jobs.
"Sage's recent expansion already has helped us to accelerate our growth, and it has given us even greater capacity to grow well into the future," Brown said. "We look forward to growing, investing, innovating, hiring and giving back to our community. Sage will remain in Cary and Sage will continue to be a good neighbor in McHenry County for years to come."
Sage officials couldn't immediately answer questions Tuesday night about the sale price or how long a deal had been in the works.
The acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
"Madison Dearborn Partners looks forward to completing the investment and working with Sage's current management team to capitalize on what they believe are numerous and attractive growth opportunities for the company worldwide," according to a joint statement from the two companies released Tuesday.
Cary Village President Tom Kierna said the village would work with officials from both companies as needed.
Madison Dearborn Partners is a private equity firm with more than $18 billion in total capital. It has invested in companies such as CDW, Fieldglass, MetroPCS, Nuveen Investments, Sirona Dental, Team Health, TransUnion and VWR International.
Sage Products makes a variety of health care products – many of which are marketed to hospitals and clinics. Its brands include Q"Care oral care; Sage 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate Cloths for patient preoperative skin preparation, Comfort Bath prepackaged bathing, Comfort Shield all-in-one incontinence care, Prevalon pressure-relieving heel protection, and the Prevalon Turn and Position System.
Sage Products CEO Vincent Foglia is one of the region's best-known philanthropists. He has given to a variety of charities and local institutions. Among other organizations, he has donated to McHenry County College, the local YMCA, and the Pioneer Center for Human Services.

Modify support email and "Request Closed" page for clarity
Short, concise description of the idea
Clicking "Yes" on the "Did this answer your question" will close a support request automatically. This is unclear in both the support email and on the actual page of the request.
Full description of the idea
Currently, the response email you get from someone answering your request looks like this:
Below is an answer to your support question regarding "[subject of request]"
(link to your request).
Did this answer your question?
(link that closes your request)
(link that takes you to your request so you can add more information)
If you are having problems using any of the links in this email, please try copying and pasting the *entire* link into your browser's address bar rather than clicking on it.
Right now, someone clicking "Yes, this answer did answer my previous question, but doesn't resolve the problem", or something in a similar vein, will close the request by accident. To add to confusion, the page on LiveJournal will say "The support request has been closed", implying Support did it.
This is bad in two ways: someone thinking that clicking "yes" will take them to the request instead gets a slam of "This has been closed" in the face; and secondly it sounds as though Support has closed it. It makes the support system sound like it closes requests immediately after answering.
To fix this, I'd like to suggest:
*After the text
"Did this answer your question?
to add the phrase "This will close your request. You can reopen it on the page of your request [link to request]."
*On the page you get after closing the request, there should be a link that allows you to reopen, or at least go back to, the request you just closed. It currently loads as just a line of text, with no indication that you can, as the person requesting help, re-open the request and add information as needed. Something like "If you have closed this request in error, you can go back to the request [link] and reopen it" would work.
- better understanding, from the perspective of someone who gets a support email, of what they're doing
- less misunderstanding: I've seen several cases of people who've submitted a request, closed it inadvertently, and then became angry, thinking Support had done it.
- more communication from troubleshooting steps; sometimes support asks for more information but never gets a reply back, and it's possible they are clicking the wrong link and getting stonewalled because of this
- minimize the number of people who are opening new requests on the same issue. Although it's likely that some people open multiple request on the same subject because they want to make the issue prominent, I would also wager that there are people who don't know they can add more information to their already opened request. This is useful for support also; it saves clutter and consolidates information in one place.
- coding and work. In particular, since the reopening of requests is done via auth codes in the URL, I don't know if it would pose a problem
- more accidentally reopened requests ?

If You Only See One Show This Month, Make It Torres
The new artist out of Nashville, playing at the Empty Bottle tomorrow, could be the poster child for modern minimalist rock.
Photo: Courtesy Torres
In January, Torres (22-year-old singer-songwriter Mackenzie Scott) crawled out of nowhere to become one of this year's most treasured new artists.
Her fast track to critical success should come as no surprise, though—quick turnarounds are her M.O. After receiving an electric guitar just last Christmas (a family-pooled gift), the singer got to work, translating her former acoustic tracks to a more gritty realism and finding a producer in her town of Nashville to collect them in one package. They worked together for just five days to produce her stunning live-to-tape debut, Torres, which is as lo-fi as it is demanding of its listener.
With the poignant songwriting chops of Brandi Carlisle, the ghastly instrumental atmosphere of Chelsea Wolfe and a voice that scales from '90s rock howl to a soft indie whisper, Scott is the poster child for modern minimalist rock. Given more time and production tools we can only imagine what Scott comes up with next — not that we want her to change the formula.
Torres plays June 27 at 9 p.m. $10. Empty Bottle, 1035 N Western Ave. emptybottle.com. Hear her song "Honey" here.

Speco enters access control market
AMITYVILLE, N.Y.--After building a name for itself in the security industry with bullet-style surveillance cameras and other surveillance-related products, Speco Technologies is venturing into the access control market by releasing four keypad products.
This comes at a pivotal time for Speco, which has experienced a 40-percent annual growth rate in recent years. It also went through a rebranding initiative three years ago to move from five different company names to one.
The keypad product addition helps Speco better serve the small business market, said Todd Keller, who was recently appointed president of the company.
"We want to be the complete solution for the small business group," said Keller. And offering products in three categories--sound, surveillance and access control--enables the company to accomplish that, he said.
In preparation for the new product line, the company recently completed a 10,000-square-foot expansion of its facility here, providing additional room for product assembly and offices. Approximately one-third of the new space is dedicated to assembly, warehousing and providing technical repair for the company's new access control line.
"This is a natural extension for us to introduce access control that will integrate into our [existing] systems," said Peter Botelho, general manager of Speco Technologies, about the addition of keypads to its product portfolio.
To bring its first access control products to the market, Speco Technologies teamed up with a European manufacturer to create keypads that can accommodate up to 130 different users and three independent relay outputs. These outputs enable the user, for instance, to turn on the lights in the building while unlocking the doors, said Gary Perlin, vice president of product management for Speco Technologies.
Perlin said the new line is "a good way for us to get our feet wet and get people knowing who we are in the access control market."
Within six months, the company plans to launch its second generation of keypads. These products will integrate with digital video recorders, said Perlin.
Keller declined to release how much access control products will contribute to the company's bottom line in the future. Currently the sale of surveillance systems accounts for 80 percent of its business, with sound systems representing 20 percent.

Sebastien Ibeagha will be heading back to national team camp in January for Thomas Rongen's U-20 team. The All-ACC freshman has impressed fans, experts, and seemingly the coaching staff in his three matches with the team the past two months. Ibeagha played all 90 minutes in Monday night's match against the Dynamo Academy U-18 team.
Ibeagha's star has been on the rise in regards to the U.S. national team. His stellar freshman season put him on Rongen's radar and the centerback has not disappointed. From reports he is playing exceptionally well at the international level and has done enough to be brought back into camps. Ibeagha used his size and speed combination very well in recent years for both Duke and the Houston Dynamo Academy teams he captained.
The January camp roster should be a pre-cursor to the one taken to Colombia for the 2011 U-20 World Cup. Ibeagha's inclusion in this camp should be seen as a good sign in regards to his chances to be included in this summer's international showcase.
The roster includes:
GOALKEEPERS (3): Cody Cropper (Ipswich Town; Athens, Ga.), Zac MacMath (Maryland; St. Petersburg, Fla.), and Brian Sylvestre (Vancouver Whitecaps FC; Hollywood, Fla.)
DEFENDERS (9): Gale Agbossoumonde (GD Estoril Praia; Syracuse, N.Y.), Greg Garza (GD Estoril Praia; Grapevine, Texas), Moises Hernandez (FC Dallas; Dallas, Texas), Sacir Hot (Boston College; Fair Lawn, N.J.), Sebastien Ibeagha (Duke; Missouri City, Texas), Perry Kitchen (Akron; Indianapaolis, Ind.), Zarek Valentin (Akron; Lancaster, Pa.), Korey Veeder (Out of Contract; St. Petersburg, Fla.), Ethan White (D.C. United; Kensington, Md.)
MIDFIELDERS (9): Joe Gyau (Hoffenheim; Silver Spring, Md.), Fabian Huerzeler (Bayern Munich; Munich, Germany), Sebastian Lletget (West Ham United; San Francisco, Calif.), Alex Molano (Dinamo Zagreb; Grapevine, Texas), Moises Orozco (Tigres; Oxnard, Calif.), Dillon Powers (Notre Dame; Plano, Texas), Kelyn Rowe (UCLA; Newport Beach, Calif.), Conor Shanosky (D.C. United; Sterling, Va.), Alex Zahavi (Maccabi Haifa; Los Angeles, Calif.)
FORWARDS (4): Juan Agudelo (New York Red Bulls; Barnegat, N.J.), Conor Doyle (Derby County; McKinney, Texas), and Omar Salgado (unattached; El Paso, Texas), Bobby Wood (1860 Munich; Irvine, Calif.)
Roster thoughts:
– There is some notable exclusion for various reasons. Akron rightback Kofi Sarkodie comes to mind immediately. Sarkodie is dynamic going forward from the position and would bolster a shaky fullback rotation.
– Not sure how Rongen is going to pick who goes to the World Cup at forward but this group would do just fine and it does not include Michigan's Soony Saad, Celtic FC's Adrian Ruelas or Toronto FC's Faud Ibrahim. I bring up those names because all three have scored goals for the team in the past seven months. Juan Agudelo (RBNY) and Omar Salgado (MLS) seem to be certain inclusions but after that I am not sure.
– I am extremely excited to see Huerzeler and the rest of this midfield. The team is set in central midfield of Huerzeler, Lletget, Powers, Molano and Zahavi. If Zahavi can push out wide with Gyau I think the U.S. can do some damage from the position in Colombia.
– Defense is somewhat of an issue with the team. There is no agile centerback that can run with speedy forwards and the leftback position is somewhat unsettled, which makes the Sarkodie exclusion more interesting. I think the centerbacks are set with Agbossoumonde, Ibeagha and Kitchen. Bryan de la Fuente (Chivas USA) could be included before heading to Colombia.

No winter loan for Landon Donovan
U.S. soccer star and L.A. Galaxy captain Landon Donovan announced Tuesday that he will not seek a loan this winter. Donovan got off to what would be a great 2010 with his highly successful loan spell at Everton. He produced two goals and several assists for the Toffees and became a fan favorite. Fast forward to this December and two EPL teams were confirmed to have interest in the American winger, Everton and Fulham, with Newcastle United reportedly interested as well.
It seems that the loan, MLS play, international friendlies and a very successful World Cup was enough for Donovan. The American forward will take a much needed rest to gear up for what should be another run at the MLS Cup with the Galaxy bringing back David Beckham and Edson Buddle along with adding Juan Pablo Angel. The winger will also play a pivotal role in a March friendly with Argentina and in this summer's Gold Cup that will decide the CONCACAF representative to the 2013 Confederations Cup.
Robbie Findley to England?
U.S. international and World Cup starter Robbie Findley is rumored to be on the radar of two English clubs, relegation battling Wolverhampton of the EPL and Nottingham Forest of the nPower Championship (English second division). Either move would be great for Findley's career and give the speedy striker a chance to work on his touch and finishing.
The interest in Findley may come as a shock to some considering his struggles this year but one thing is for sure, you cannot teach pace and Findley has that. His return to MLS was much of the same as he battled injury and bad form. Findley was rumored to be a target of Wolverhampton this weekend this weekend. Wolverhampton is currently in the relegation zone (the bottom three of the EPL) and seems to be looking for a spark in their attack.
According to report from soccerbyives.net, Findley has left the club and is now on his way to Nottingham Forest, the club that Danny Cruz trained at last month. Forest are currently four points out of the playoffs (the first and second place teams in the second division earn automatic promotion to the EPL while teams 3 through 6 have a four team playoff for the final spot). Out of contract, the striker was selected by the expansion Portland Timbers as a type of draft and follow player. If Findley fails to secure a contract in the January window he can join the Timbers as they would have his rights.

It's raining over-the-top (OTT) platforms in India. And Hong Kong based PCCW Ltd (PCCW) run digital entertainment firm Vuclip Inc is the latest one to join the bandwagon. The digital entertainment firm has launched its second OTT platform, Viu.
It already operates one service under the main brand name VuClip.
PCCW is the flagship conglomerate of Hong Kong billionaire Richard Li Tzar-kai.
"While Vuclip was launched as a mass offering, Viu will have more premium content including shows which are exclusive to the platform," said Nickhil Jakatdar, founder and CEO, Vuclip.
The company first launched Viu in Malaysia (December 2015), followed by Hong Kong (January 2016) and Singapore (February 2016).
Last week, broadcast company Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (ZEEL) came out with a second video streaming platform called OZEE. This is a free-to-watch OTT platform unlike its first offering, DittoTV. and will have catch-up content from Zee's bouquet of entertainment channels.
Like many of its peers in the OTT business, VuClip will follow a 'free-mium' business model in case of Viu. In such a scenario, while some content on the platform is made available to viewers for free, one is required to subscribe for rest of the premium content. The company is selling subscription for Rs 99 per month.
As per Jakatdar, to carve out a differentiated content plan, the company has used global video insights studies. "The new app will have more 42,000 hours of Bollywood and English content for Indian audience," he added.
The company has forged content partnerships with production houses and content owners such as Reliance Big Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., Sony Music, Zee Digital Convergence, Tips Industries Ltd, Balaji Motion Pictures, Rajshri Entertainment, Unisys Infosolutions, Shemaroo, Anand Audio, and BBC Worldwide.
The Kennedy's, Allo Allo, Critical, Olympus, 19-2 and The Clean Break, are some of the English shows which can be watched on the app.
The company has partnered with payment service provider FreeCharge, and online commerce firm eBay. While FreeCharge will offer a free one-month trial subscription as well as cash back deals for premium subscribers, eBay India has been brought on board as a strategic distribution partner and will offer various packages and bundles related to Viu.
With as many 25-30 OTT players running their services in India, industry observers say one needs to have a compelling offering to get eyeballs. "Content will remain the key to the success of an OTT players besides a solid marketing strategy," says Ashish Pherwani, partner, advisory services, EY.

Norwegian study in coffee and pain....ouch!
An article published in the BMS Research Notes journal recently has caused a bit of a stir in the coffee industry.
It all relates to a research project undertaken in Norway by the National Institute of Occupational Health and Oslo University Hospital.
They have discovered that those who drink coffee might be at an advantage when it comes to working at a computer.
Sound intriguing?
Read on.
As reported in the Digital Journal, this research project produced some unusual conclusions about those who drink a cup of coffee before they start work.
It seems that early morning coffee-drinkers have a surprising benefit when they later sit at their desks.
Because the incidence of pain in the workplace in particular those triggered by sitting in front of a computer for extended periods of times, such as pain in the shoulder and neck can, it is suggested, be eased by drinking coffee.
The Norwegian study showed that 40% of those who consumed coffee before work reported that they had less intense pain than those who abstained, at a ratio of 41 out of a scale of 100 for coffee drinkers and 55 out of 100 for non-drinkers.
It is thought that coffee is able to reduce levels of pain because caffeine blocks adenosine (a chemical in the brain which deals with the processing of pain).
It ought to be pointed out that the study was not large and needs additional work to test these findings.
However, the initial results are certainly interesting and food for thought.

Wood is the perfect choice for a cremation urn.
There is something peaceful and soothing about wood. The natural lines of the wood grain, created from years of undisturbed growth in the wild, soundlessly speak of towering trees beside the still waters of a mountain lake or the soft chirping of birds around a well-trodden forest foot path.
A rustic wooden cremation urn creates a visual picture of earthy simplicity.
Simple, yes, but with scarcely veiled depth. You can almost see the sunlight filtering through the trees overhead, and hear the crunch of boots on fallen branches scattered on the ground in nature's original version of a Jackson Pollock painting.

Washing your code
This book is 40% complete
Last updated on 2020-03-25
About the Book
The purpose of this book is to show common code smells or patterns that often (but not always!) lead to poor code readability, and how you can refactor the code to make it more readable and maintainable. The book contains a lot of code examples, mostly based on real code with only minor adaptations.
Who is this book for
The book probably will be most useful for intermediate developers. If you're a beginner, you probably have enough of other things to think about. If you have decades of experience, you probably can write a similar book yourself. This book is going to be opinionated, but you don't have to agree with everything I'm saying, and that's not the goal of the book. The goal is to show you one possible path, mine, and inspire to find your own. These techniques help me to write and review code every day, and I'll be happy if you find some of them useful.
What you will learn
I'll show code smells and patterns I often see during code reviews (and I review a lot of code every day!) and will walk you through the refactoring process to make code more readable and maintainable. I'll also show when you shouldn't follow my recommendations and keep using smelly code.
I'll show you how to:
- Replace loops with array methods.
- Replace conditions with tables or remove them entirely.
- Replace imperative code with declarative and separate "what" and "how."
- And more.
Table of Contents
Washing your code: Write once, read seven times
- Preface
- Acknowledgments
- Avoid loops
- Avoid conditions
- Avoid reassigning variables
- Avoid mutation

- Divide and conquer, or merge and relax
- Don't make me think
- Too many conventions
- Make impossible states impossible
- (Boy) scout rule
- Greppable code
- Size isn't important
- Don't try to predict the future
- Refactoring is inevitable
- Not invented here syndrome
- Code style

Caprese Salad's are a staple appetizer in Italian culture and while very simple to put together they are bursting with loads of fresh Italian flavors. While there are tons of different ways to make Caprese Salad's one of my favorite ways of making it is with Grape Tomatoes and the small Ciliegine Fresh Mozzarella Balls (the kind soaking in water). This way lots of people can take a scoop of the appetizer, it is a much easier way of serving a Caprese Salad for a party. Also for all you people who are lactose intolerant out there. The way fresh mozzarella, or buffalo mozzarella is made actually extracts all of the lactose out of the cheese and is perfectly fine to eat for people with lactose intolerance.
Ingredients for My Italian Caprese Salad Appetizer
♥ 1 Container of Fresh Ciliegine Mozzarella Balls
♥ Grape Tomatoes, Olive Oil
♥ Salt
♥ Basil
Mix your mozzarella and tomatoes in a medium size bowl with your basil leaves. Depending on the size of your basil leaves tear them right from the stem or tear them in half. Do not chop or dice. Sprinkle a little bit of sea salt over your mixture and pour into a serving dish. Add a little more fresh basil leaves on top for garnish. Finally drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the salad and Manga! Eat!
Caprese salad appetizer toothprick can also be placed on the table in the form of toothpick.

In an effort to further enhance the lives of Red X Anglers (and anyone else) I am hereby offering my close to 6 decades of experience in life to provide guidance for questions you may have about any given subject (must remain family friendly in accordance with the rules of this site). These need not necessarily be fishing questions as most of you are much more knowledgeable fisherman than I. You may for example, wish to know why Donald Duck wears a towel when he comes out of the shower in his cartoons but wears no pants the rest of the time. Or why that cereal is called 'Grape Nuts'. Or, speaking of cereal....why Captain Crunch's eyebrows are on his hat. Dr. H has the answers to these and many other quandary's of living. So get it off your chest like the writer below did....
Dear Dr. H,
My 22 year old daughter is getting married for the 3rd time. #3 is an unemployed 47 year old who lost his job at a coastal car wash when he abandoned his post during a bluefish blitz. While I'm hoping this one's a keeper for her my main concern is paying for yet another wedding. I can afford it but the cost is biting into my fishing trip and fishing gear money. Any ideas on how I can provide a cost effective wedding?
Down and Out East
Dear Down and Out,
You've come to the right place for advice. Dr. H has funded 3 weddings himself and participated directly in two of those. That said, weddings are an expensive proposition. Sure they can go before the Justice of the Peace but that robs your lovely daughter of her 'special day'. Day's in her case. The secret is not in going cheap, it's WHERE you allocate the funds that count. In today's time it's not unusual to spend $50,000 on a wedding so that should be your budget. I propose (no pun intended) that the wedding be scheduled in the Fall and in a boat at the Cape Lookout Rock Jetty. While there will be hundreds of witnesses packed in tight there at this time of the year you won't be bothered with a bunch of irritating family members who only show up for free parties since they will have no way to get there. After all, weight limits on the boat only allow for a small wedding party and the preacher.
For about $48,000 you can pick up a new 23' Carolina Skiff Ultra Elite with a 200 HP Yamaha four stroke. You can pass on the Electric Portable Head option though as the water temps still run around 70 degrees this time of year. But be sure to get the optional 70 quart padded cooler in which you will place their honeymoon supplies. Yes, you are funding their honeymoon too! What a great dad you are! . Following the exchanging of the vows, the nearby witnesses can substitute traditional rice by showering the lovely couple with 3/8 oz. Gulp Jigs in the traditional white color. Instead of a bouquet, the bride can toss an 8 foot Betts cast net.
Following the ceremony it's just a short ride over to Shackleford where you will drop them off for an extended honeymoon. They will know you've been impeccable with your planning due to the shallow draft on the skiff. 'Stay as long as you like, you lovebirds!' you tell them as you present the wedding present; a 2 man pup tent with King sized air mattress and hand pump along with the cooler full of free outdated water and Vienna Sausages you got from the dumpster behind Food Lion. While they won't have a way to recharge their phones the area around Shack is well traveled. Someone will pick them up sooner or later.
Enjoy your new skiff.
-Dr. H.

HP-10S+ Scientific Calculator: is it a CASIO clone?
Post: #1
HP-10S+ Scientific Calculator: is it a CASIO clone?
A local store is selling this HP-10S+ model since a couple of years ago and every time I pass by I'm tempted to buy one to join my collection.
I already have its big brother HP-300S+ and they complement each other with their excellent design and looks.
So I started searching for information on this model and found out a few intriguing reports. This was a good excuse to drive to the store and buy one to have a look myself.
Several people using this calculator since it came out in 2012 have commented that it looks like a CASIO clone, based on the fx-82MS, or on the fx-85MS, or on the fx-300MS.
Part of those comments are based on the fact that most of the features found in the HP-10S+ are identical on those CASIO models and even the menus are identical.
See here some of the reports:
Edward Shore - Caliber Scientific Calculator by CVS Pharmacy vs. Hewlett Packard HP 10s+
HP Support Forum - HP 10s+ screen contrast
Matheus Cariús - HP 10s+ copycat of CASIO fx-82MS
MoHPC forum members
However I'm not so sure about HP-10S being a clone of the CASIO's.
I share the statement of George Litauszky from MoHPC (see the link above) that both HP and CASIO shared a common software base developed by Kinpo TW in China and compiled to run on distinct hardware platforms.
This would explains why both have the same menu structures and many common functions.
One argument in favor of a CASIO clone:
The following test reported by BartdD on the HP Support Forum and by Matheus Cariús would tell us that the HP is a CASIO clone, because there is a leftover coding hidden in one of the HP menus that will display the same "CASIO" string found in the CASIO models to adjust the LCD contrast.
To get this "CASIO" string on the HP-10S+:
Press MODE four times and you will see DISP and a single option "1" below it.
However the CASIO's models have another option "2" to adjust the contrast that it is not available in the HP.
Now press 2 on the HP: The top row will show < LIGHT DARK> and the "CASIO" string below it, exactly like what a real CASIO does. However the HP-10S+ contrast adjustments seems to be inoperative and the user guide doesn't contain any references to contrast adjustment.
I have duplicated this test and got the same "CASIO" string on the non operative LCD contrast adjustment menu.
My calculator HP product is NW276AA#B10, Serial No.9CJ60300S0, Product of China.
Why I'm not so sure about the HP being a CASIO clone:
I realized that there are no forensics tests published for the HP-10S, HP-10S+ or HP-300S+ in the excellent Mike Sebastian listing.
Therefore I have run the usual arcsin(arccos(arctan(tan(cos(sin (9)))))) test and got a result of: 9.000000002123857
None of the CASIO models listed have this HP signature result.
By the way, the HP-300S+ forensics result is: 9.000000000881497
Again, no CASIO models listed have this signature.
I don't want to jump to conclusions, but it seems that the HP is using a distinct processor and hardware platform from what is used in the CASIO's.

Magazine article Appalachian Heritage
The Social Side of Literary Magazines, an Editorial
Article excerpt
There are unsung heroes in the literary life of the Southern Appalachians, including the people whose hard work creates and sustains the literary events of the region. These gatherings have been crucial to many prospective writers in providing them with the contacts and expertise they need to advance their careers. Our region hosts a splendid variety of these occasions.
Knott County poet, Albert Stewart, who founded this magazine also established the Appalachian Writers' Workshop at the Hindman Settlement School in Hindman, Kentucky. The school's director, Mike Mullins, and Rebecca Ware, the associate director, have served the school since the beginning of the workshop and have diligently worked to make sure that each year new faculty and participants have become involved. This is no easy task because a huge portion of those who come one time wish to return. The 34th Workshop last August featured eleven teaching faculty, all from the region, who gave public readings every evening.
Grace Edwards, the recently retired Director of the Radford University Regional Studies Center, can count among her many lasting achievements there the founding of the Highland Summer Conference. Each year participants gather for three weeks, with a faculty of six (two distinguished writers join them for each of the three weeks). The public readings are free, and college credit is available for full participation in the Conference. In recent years JoAnn Asbury and Ricky Cox have worked closely with the Conference, providing continuity for the 34th annual event which was hosted by the new Center director, Theresa Burris.
West Virginia Writers, Inc. was organized in 1977 and holds an Annual Conference at Cedar Lakes 4-H Center every year. This venue is delightful, and the pond in the center of the campus is a great place to stroll.
Also preparing for next year's 35th annual conference is the Appalachian Studies Association. This is basically an academic conference featuring panels in many disciplines, but it always includes some sessions of literary criticism and some poetry readings. The conference is held at different locations every year, but some regional authors are always present.
Preparing for their 23rd Annual Conference is the Tennessee Mountain Writers Association which meets at a hotel in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, every year. This weekend event features hands-on workshops by writers from a wide variety of genres. …

It's predicted that in 2016, the total amount spent on mobile advertising will for the first time surpass desktop ad spend, after almost reaching parity in 2015. The estimates come from research carried out by eMarketer, where desktop ad spending is placed at $29b in 2015 compared to $28b for mobile, but increasing to $40b against $26b next year. Looking further into the future, eMarketer sees desktop ad spend level out around $25b, while mobile will continue to climb and potentially reach $65b in 2019.
Mobile to pass desktop ad spend in 2016
However, while the overall figure will increase, the percentage change will decrease. This year sees a 50% rise over 2014's mobile ad spending, but this will steadily fall between now and 2019, according to the data. Next year will still be a considerable 41% increase, but this is expected to fall dramatically to 23% in 2017, then to 16% in 2018, and 14% in 2019.
Total mobile advertising spend in the U.S.
The research also looks at how mobile ad spending compares to the total ad spend in the U.S. – covering banners, video, email, messages, and more – in its entirety. This year, 15% is dedicated to mobile, but this will rise to 20% next year, and eventually top 28% in 2019. At this time, mobile will dominate digital advertising at 72% of the spend, up from 49% this year. Mobile display ads will continue to be the most popular choice for advertisers.
eMarketer notes the shift to mobile over other forms of digital advertising comes from a change in the devices people use to go online. In the U.S., desktop computers were used on average 2 hours 12 minutes each day, a figure that has declined against 2013, while mobile increased to 2 hours 51 minutes. Other studies have shown mobile becoming more commonly used for online shopping.
Comparing mobile ad spend to mobile web ad spend
Finally, in-app ads will remain more popular than mobile web ads, with more than $20b expected to be spent in 2015, compared to just under $8b for mobile web – accounting for 73% of the total mobile advertising spending in the U.S.. Next year, both figures will increase, with the in-app total reaching $29b and mobile web $10b. Interestingly, app install ad investment will jump by 115% in 2015 to $1.67b, but still only represent 8.7% of the mobile ad spending total.

New Year Resolutions March is education month. This month I wanted to really focus on the diploma I have been doing which I could have been doing faster if I had been focused. Instead, it is taking a lot longer than originally planned. I am also going to be attending...
The first ever Aussie Bloggers Conference!!
Where I plan on meeting heaps of cool bloggers and learning more about everything.
But, back to my diploma...I did just complete the first part of my Advanced Diploma in Financial Planning and have received the material for the next stage. I haven't even looked at it properly yet, as there is so much else going on.
Last month was my organisation month where I was going to set rosters and things, but since a lot of renovations and book editing happened last month, I didn't end up working it out until the last day of the month. On the 28th Feb, my husband finally sat down and discussed having a proper plan with a calendar and what times we want to do things. So on this I will be putting in my allocated study time each week.
As well as my diploma March is the month I am going to educate myself on my website as well as things to do with my blog. Whilst this education is not the same as going to school it is still education. I have already started teaching myself some things and doing research to set it all up. I will also be educating myself more on blogging aspects I want to know more about.
I am also learning more about twitter, facebook and my phone to enable me to use them all together to improve my blogging.
Besides blogging and my diploma I am very interested in health things and have been reading Sweet Poison which is about the affects of sugar on our bodies. So far it has been a real eye opener. I had wanted to cut sugar from my diet anyway and this has motivated me to do so even faster. I have been doing more research on where our food comes from and what different foods our bodies need and what we don't. It has been really interesting and something I want to learn more about.
So there is a lot I want to learn this month and I won't be stopping at just this month, I'll be continuing to learn new things always. It's just my main focus this month.

Entries are still open for the 2014 Tour of Worcester sportive, which takes place on Sunday, October 12.
Two route distances are offered, both taking riders through the tough, undulating roads of the Worcestershire countryside over 92 miles (148km) or 62 miles (100km).
>> Subscribe to Cycling Weekly this Autumn and save 35%. Enjoy the luxury of home delivery and never miss an issue <<
The long route is based on the 2007 Tour of Britain stage in the area with several iconic climbs and a few others they didn't use. Both routes are quite hilly and the shorter distance should not be underestimated even if it does have fewer hills.
Both routes head out of Worcester in a clockwise direction taking in the classic climbs of Malvern and Ankerdine before splitting. The long route goes on to take in an extra loop towards Tenbury Wells and a short excursion into Shropshire before returning to meet the short route again.
From here there is the chance to tackle the 25% gradient of Wynniattes Way or if you don't feel up to it an easier option is clearly marked one mile before the climb. After this it's a lumpy return to the finish via Holt Fleet with five listed climbs and a hot meal for all finishers at the racecourse.
The start/finish is at Worcester Racecourse in the centre of Worcester with an easy run in and out of the City and a cycle route finish to avoid the traffic. Free car parking is on site. Event entry costs £25 and teams of four or more can enter at £20 per rider.
For more information visit the Wheels in Wheels website.

Thank you for sharing the hapinness and the joy of being parents.
Lovly post!
Great post, so interesting as I had no idea the second year was so important to their nutritional development too xxReplyDelete
Great post! My little boy has just turned one and we've switched him over to cows milk but he doesn't seem to be eating that well at the moment. Do you think he's getting enough from the milk or should I switch back to formula? Thanks!ReplyDelete
Hi Hannah, you have asked a really great question. I wouldn't be too concerned about switching your son back to formula. He can get the necessary vitamins and minerals from nutrient-dense foods that you incorporate into his diet and also from cow's milk :) This way he won't be consuming all the additives that formula milk consists of as well - double win!Delete
How much is too much milk in your baby and childs development?ReplyDelete
My baby was particularly large and the MW's recommended formula for hungry babies. Someone told me that formula is pointless as it's just added starch. Is this true?ReplyDelete
Great post and well done on feeding Amelia for two years, that's an awesome effort. I fed Phoebs for 12 months and now she doesn't drink any milk. My question would be if that's ok? She just doesn't like it! She has a lot of milky cereal, cheese, yoghurts etc so i'm hoping that's fine! xReplyDelete
Hi Stephanie, 12 months of feeding is such a great effort - well done! I wouldn't be too concerned that Phoebs doesn't like cow's milk, as long as you are feeding her a nutrient-dense diet consisting of healthy fats like coconut oil, butter, and other unprocessed dairy, plus veges, some meat, and fish, she will be a strong and healthy wee girl :)Delete
Really informative post!! It's so important to remember how valuable the nutrition is to them at this age!! xReplyDelete
My daughter is currently 14 months old and drinks cows milk but I was wondering whether it's okay to switch to semi-fat or keep her on whole milk? She doesn't seem to be enjoying full fat that much.ReplyDelete
That's a really interesting post (and stunning 1st picture, Kerry!). I remember being told to move on to cow's milk after my 1st baby turned 1. Would you still recommend using formula until they are 2?ReplyDelete
My midwife told me to start introducing cows milk to my daughter diet at 6 months, surely that's too young to do so?ReplyDelete

- My nurse will not answer my questions
- My doctor prescribed a wheelchair, but I have not gotten it yet.
- I can't get an appointment with my doctor.
Quality of Care Complaints
Call KEPRO if you have a complaint about the healthcare you received from a hospital, skilled nursing facility, home health agency or physician office.
- Did I get the right medicine?
- Was I diagnosed correctly?
- I did not receive instructions at discharge and did not know what to do.
Discharge Appeals
Call KEPRO if you think you are being discharged too soon from a hospital or skilled nursing facility.
- You can file a discharge appeal though KEPR0, which will review your case and medical records in order to decide if it is safe for you to be discharged. During the appeal, you will be able to stay in the hospital with no financial liability until the appeal is finished.

After being poisoned in Surabaya, Indonesia, almost 2 years ago (both physically and mentally), my health was broken to pieces. Of course the accumulated stress and exhaustion from war and conflict zones did not help. Most likely I came very close to absolute collapse, perhaps death. I realized it last year, working in Kazakhstan, in the middle of cold bitter winter. I was supposed to fly next day from Astana to Moscow, and from there to Russian Far East - to Vladivostok. But suddenly I could hardly move! I cancelled all my plans, and flew through Tashkent, Uzbekistan, to Bangkok, beginning my struggle for survival.
From now on, I will be updating this blog regularly.
But also let me do here a short retrospect, a medley of what took place since the last update:
Despite my "collapse", I never really gave up. I continued working in countless war and conflict zones, from Lebanon to Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, horrid refugee camps at Kos in Greece and Calais in France.
I also circled the world, giving speeches and revolutionary as well as philosophical talks. Just to mention the most important ones, I was asked to speak right after the President of Iran in Teheran. I gave talks at China Academy of Social Sciences (right hand of the Communist Party of China) in Beijing, at Moscow Municipality in Russia, at Beihang University in Beijing. Finally, I was asked to give a speech at the Chamber of Deputies at the Italian Parliament, where I delivered accusatory discourse, declaring that the entire European continent is built on loot and corpses of colonized people all over the world.
This is just a brief summary of my journeys in the last few months.
Thank you all for your patience and moral support!

Higher Burden of Trichomonas vaginalis Infection in U.S. Blacks
FRIDAY, March 16, 2018 -- The burden of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infection is disproportionately high among blacks in the United States, according to a study published online March 15 in Clinical Infectious Diseases.
Eshan U. Patel, M.P.H., from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and colleagues tested 4,057 males and females aged 18 to 59 years who participated in the 2013 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and provided urine specimens for TV infection.
The researchers found that the prevalence of TV infection was 0.5 and 1.8 percent among males and females, respectively; 4.2 and 8.9 percent among black males and black females, respectively; and 0.03 and 0.8 percent among males and females of other races/ethnicities, respectively. There were positive associations for TV infection prevalence with female sex, black race, older age, being below the poverty level, and having two or more sexual partners. No TV and Chlamydia trachomatis co-infection was seen. There were no independent associations for genital human papillomavirus detection with TV infection. The relative racial disparity in TV infection was higher among persons age 18 to 39 years than the relative racial disparity of other sexually transmitted infections.
"There is a high and disproportionate burden of TV infection in the adult civilian, non-institutionalized black population in the United States that warrants intervention," the authors write.
