JAMJAM2017 was a team-building exercise we held here at the gskinner office. It was a time to learn about music visualization, have some fun, and build some demos!
JAM Genesis
Each Friday we have an event called gshow where team members present demo code. Imagine a bunch of people showing off codepen experiments in a boardroom with beers and laughs.
One thing that a few team members started to notice was that demos were always completely silent. Eventually, Sebastian called us all out and said: "Just Add Music!"
He was right.
To make it as easy as possible, Grant wrote a library called JustAddMusic (JAM). The purpose is to assist with music visualization by taking care of the music analysis for you. He wanted some demos for it and from there hatched the idea of the JustAddMusic demo party. A JAM JAM.
Getting Our JAM On
The JAMJAM started with a presentation on the many ways to visualize music. I wanted people to go into the task of building a music visualizer with an opinion and head full ideas.
Each team had two hours to create a visualizer which is not a lot of time to make something. To help manage the time constraint, I created a set of boilerplates for CreateJS and Three. I wanted people to dive right in and create.
The team soaked it all in over a Friday afternoon and here is what they came up with.
Team Space
Chris Caldwell, Patrick McGuckin, Blair Ludwig, and Sebastian De Rossi
Team Space hunkered down in a dark room and was out of contact for the entire two hours. All attempts to hedge in and check out what they were doing were met with hostility. It was as if I was walking in on some top secret alien autopsy. Luckily, I was able to escape the men in black and let them work.
It wasn't a contest, but Team Space came up with the most visually cohesive entry.
Check out the live version in the gskinner lab.
Team Learn Three
Lanny McNie, Chris Kohanik, and Eddie Chu
3D can take a long time to learn. Three makes it easier, but even it can have a steep learning curve if you venture too far out. When things go wrong, stuff can disappear with no error message and debugging turns into trial and error. During their creation, they also discovered a few GPU driver-related glitches. These manifested as very different renderings across devices.
Frustration was high. The help they got wasn't always the help they were looking for as they struggled to realize their ideas.
Team Learn Three dove in head first and had no idea what they were doing. They fought for what they wanted and ended up with something cool.
Check out the live version in the gskinner lab.
Team Bike / Motorcycle
Trevor Dunn, Wes Gorgichuk, Alex Garneau, and Yoon Lee
Team Motorcycle went for it with an ambitious technical concept. The motorcycle/bike rides the waves of sound and you can jump between the various layers.
Technicalities weren't their only troubles. They fought creatively over whether it should be a bike or a motorcycle… this created a crack which could have divided us all! Luckily, a peaceful resolution was found and they went with the bicycle… or was it the motorcycle?
The TV would not recognize their device as a video source and refused to show anything. In a heroic dash, they were able to get their project to another computer to show on the TV.
They also chose the weirdest song.
Check out the live version in the gskinner lab.
Side Effects Include…
Music visualizations weren't the only thing that got an upgrade during the JAM JAM. JustAddMusic itself had new features added as a result. As with any code library, once people start using it they find all sorts of things it doesn't do for them.
JAM Enhanced
spectrum: Exposes the FFT analysis node with a twist. It offers only the number of bands you request and packs them into the audio range where all the action is. The goal isn't to have the full spectrum but just the bins that are used for visualization.
loop and onEnded: Added to assist developers making games and playlists.
Getting Out of a JAM
JAMJAM2017 was a big success and we came away with some pretty cool demos and feature enhancements for JustAddMusic. The best part was that people took risks and tried things they hadn't before. Working with a code library inevitably leads to bug fixes and new features.
Our team is always eager to flex its creative and technical muscle. People interested in music visualization now have a better understanding of how JAM works — I expect that we'll see more visualizers in the future.

Benefit They're Real!

We love this one but it does dry hard. But man does it work on the lashes!! I did get the Luminous Hourglass powder and have been using it as an all over powder. The jury is still out whether I think it was worth the money though.ReplyDelete
Jayme @ Her Late Night CravingsReplies
It does look gorgeous on the lashes! :)Delete
I'm really curious about the Hourglass powders! I don't really get the hype with them, as they seem to just be normal powders. If they were cheaper I would have tried them out though.
I was debating buying this, but didn't because I have naturally long lashes which are prone to looking spidery, which I hate. But after seeing this post and how nice it looks, I'll definitely consider it next time I'm needing new mascara!ReplyDelete
If you've been debating it you should definitely give it a try! :)Delete
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, I love each and every one! I reply to all comments, but if you need a quicker response tweet me @BeyondBlush11 or email me (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Cisco IOS Software "?/" HTTP Request DoS Vulnerability
Cisco devices running IOS software may be prone to a denial of service attack if a URL containing a question mark followed by a slash (?/) is requested. The device will enter an infinite loop when supplied with a URL containing a "?/" and an enable password. Subsequently, the router will crash in two minutes after the watchdog timer has expired and will then reload. In certain cases, the device will not reload and a restart would be required in order to regain normal functionality.
This vulnerability is restricted to devices that do not have the enable password set or if the password is known or can be easily predicted. The vulnerable service is only on by default in the Cisco 1003, 1004 and 1005 routers.
Users can identify vulnerable or invulnerable devices running IOS by logging onto the device and issuing the ?show version? command. If IOS is running on a vulnerable device the command will return ?Internetwork Operating System Software? or ?IOS (tm)? with a version number.
Vulnerable IOS software may be found on the following Cisco devices:
*Cisco routers in the AGS/MGS/CGS/AGS+, IGS, RSM, 800, ubr900, 1000, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 2500, 2600, 3000, 3600, 3800, 4000, 4500, 4700, AS5200, AS5300, AS5800, 6400, 7000, 7200, ubr7200, 7500, and 12000 series.
*Recent versions of LS1010 ATM switch.
*Catalyst 6000 with IOS.
*Catalyst 2900XL LAN switch with IOS.
*Cisco DistributedDirector.

(Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung)
SAN JOSE, CA — 12/02/13 – OCZ Technology Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: OCZ), a leading provider of high-performance solid state drives (SSDs) for computing devices and systems, today announced that the Company has signed an asset purchase agreement with Toshiba Corporation, a global technology leader and manufacturer of NAND flash memory, to acquire substantially all of OCZ's assets in a chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding for $35M. Under this agreement Toshiba will acquire OCZ's client and enterprise solid state drive business. OCZ will continue to operate and serve existing and future customers during this process. Toshiba has agreed to provide the Company with DIP (Debtor-in-Possession) financing to ensure that there is adequate capital and flash supply to support the business during the contemplated sale period. The consummation of the asset purchase agreement is subject to an auction and approval by the bankruptcy court in the Company's bankruptcy case.
This acquisition will provide Toshiba with access to OCZ's proprietary controllers, firmware and software, as well as the teams responsible for bringing these solutions to market, in addition to OCZ's established brand and sales channels. This strategic opportunity will bring critical controller IP and NAND supply all under one global organization, allowing for an even more robust and competitive solid state solution offering for all of OCZ's and Toshiba's mutual customers moving forward.
"Over the past year, OCZ has dealt with numerous issues which have stressed the company's capital structure and operating model, posing a challenge to achieving near term profitability. The combination of NAND flash supply constraints and credit issues have impacted our ability to satisfy the demands of our customers; this combined with increased pricing pressure in our industry have contributed to our on-going operating losses. On an operational basis, we completed a complex investigation, several restructurings and a multi-year restatement that added significantly to our working capital requirements," stated Ralph Schmitt, CEO of OCZ. "We have been working diligently on this partnership with Toshiba and we believe that this is the best outcome under our current corporate conditions."
"We are excited to participate in this opportunity. If our bid is successful, the combination of our leading NAND technology with OCZ's SSD expertise will allow us to further strengthen Toshiba's SSD business," said Mr. Seiichi Mori, Vice President of Toshiba's Semiconductor and Storage Company and Corporate Vice President of Toshiba. "We value OCZ's SSD business and technology in both the consumer and enterprise markets, and we are confident that it will reinforce our capabilities and help us to secure leadership in the SSD market."
This transaction has been approved by the Board of Directors of OCZ, and it is expected that the sale will close within approximately 60 days.

Searching for appealing foods for her daughter, who was on a low-fat diet, Maria Sandoval came up with this nutritious and appealing appetizer dip. Most of our tasters never guessed that tofu was its base. Serve the herb dip with melba toast, crackers, thin baguette slices, or raw vegetables. Prep and Cook Time: about 30 minutes.
How to Make It
Rinse tofu and drain. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices and lay on several layers of towels. Cover with several layers of towels and press gently to remove excess liquid.
In a food processor, combine cilantro, parsley, mint, and green onions. Whirl until minced (or mince with a knife). Pour herbs into a small bowl.
Pat red peppers dry and put into a food processor or blender. Crumble tofu and add to red peppers along with garlic, lemon juice, and capers. Whirl until smooth. Add to herbs and stir to mix. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.

In our never ending efforts to de-mystify running jargon and bring you the new and interesting sessions to shake up your training we bring you Cruise Intervals! What intervals? A mainstay of Jack Daniels training plans Cruise Intervals are a great bridge to faster training. Let Luke Coleman shed some light for you…
Are you are looking to make the leap from easy running to sessions but find the track a little daunting? Or tired of your usual tempo runs and are looking to shake up your training? Cruise intervals are just one way of changing it up to provide great benefits to your training.
So what are Cruise intervals?
Cruise intervals are basically a way of breaking up a tempo run to allow you to run at this threshold level for longer with less injury risk.
Benefits of Cruise Tempo/ Cruise Intervals?
It is thought that by training at this level, you can gradually increase the body's capacity to produce energy aerobically and increasing performance in all aerobic based distance races (did you know 5k is almost 95% aerobic!).Threshold runs are an excellent way to improve your 10km race performances.
How to do Cruise Intervals?
A typical cruise interval session usually consists of repetition distances such as 1 mile to 2k (though some people do use a little longer or shorter depending on their preference as low as 800m). These are different from normal intervals as they are run at roughly your 10 mile – Half Marathon pace in a trained athlete. The key is the recoveries which are to be kept very short (anything between 30 sec to 2 min).
The key to cruise intervals is to resist the temptation to go too fast. This is deliberately not a maximum effort workout. As you become fitter, these runs should become easier, until you review your pace. You should not go as fast as you can from one week to the next: as you feel stronger, you should try to achieve the same pace and distance with less effort.
Will I not lose out on benefits of Tempo by taking rest periods?
One of the great things about cruise interval's is they provide the body with the same stimulus as a normal tempo run (provided that the recovery is kept short). The short recoveries keep your heart rate at the high level to ensure that even between reps your body is still working at threshold level.
Example Sessions:
3-5 x 1 mile @10 mile – Half Marathon Pace with 1 min recovery
2-5 x 2 k @10 mile – Half Marathon Pace with 90 second recovery
6-10 x 800m @ 10 mile -Half Marathon Pace with 30 seconds recovery
Tip: Aim to keep the session between 20-40 minutes
The tendency is to treat them like regular long intervals. However, keep it under control and work on a smooth, fast rhythm. Control in training is the key to improvement. Threshold-pace running delivers significant training benefits but still leaves you fresh from day to day. In running, there's little to match the good feeling and great results of "cruising'" through a workout.
Cruise intervals are a popular method used by American Running coach Jack Daniels over the last 20-30 years.

Did wico make a joystick for the Atari 2600 AND a joystick for the 5200? Is the only difference between these joysticks the fact that one comes with a y-cable to allow it to work on the 5200?
In other words, will a Wico Command Control joystick for an Atari 2600 work on the 5200 as long as you have a y-cable?

PEAKS ISLAND — This spring, a patient of mine, Richard Gardner, called me regarding a prescription I wrote for him. The drug was Plaquenil, a medication for rheumatoid arthritis, and he was frustrated and angry. The medication was working fine – the problem was that the price of generic Plaquenil had increased from $30 per month to $85 per month. The brand-name Plaquenil would now cost him $200 a month.
And this was after his health insurance picked up a portion of the cost.
Raise your hand if you can relate to Richard Gardner (whose experience is described here with his permission). Maybe you're on four or five medications with yearly out-of-pocket payments of thousands of dollars. Maybe you're on a Tier 5 "specialty drug" where your insurance picks up 80 percent of the cost and you are left with, let's see, 20 percent of $30,000 per year for a biologic drug in rheumatoid arthritis is … $6,000 per year.
We, the purchasing public, frankly, are being swindled. Martin Shkreli, a former hedge fund manager and founder of Turing Pharmaceuticals, justified his price increase of the anti-parasitic drug, Daraprim, from $13.50 to $750 per pill at a congressional hearing in 2015 with the simple statement: "Because I can."
Of course, it's not just the price of medications that contributes to our ever-rising insurance premiums and $5,000 deductibles. It's everything.
Let's spin the wheel of health care expenses and it lands on "administrative costs." In my former private practice in Portland, the job of one of our employees was to obtain prior approvals for medications and necessary tests. On the other end of the phone was an employee of the insurance company whose job was to say "no." Eventually, our office was usually able to get our patients' needs met, but it was a lot of work. Is it any wonder that roughly 18 percent of the cost of your private health insurance goes toward administrative costs?
Let's not leave out hospital costs. As the Press Herald noted in a recent editorial, "Americans pay on average $1,119 for an MRI. An Australian pays $215." The editorial quoted Sarah Kiff writing in Vox: "It's the exact. Same. Scan."
Several years ago I underwent successful same-day surgery at Maine Medical Center. The charge was $12,791.46. But as I pored over the three-page bill and realized that I had incurred 39 separate charges, I decided to break down the costs. For instance, I was charged $194 for 2 liters of lactated Ringer's solution infused during my surgery. When I returned to work the next week, I asked our office manager how much our private practice paid for a liter of lactated Ringer's solution for our patients receiving IV infusions in our office. Her answer: "Under 4 dollars."
Hospitals see thousands of patients each year without insurance, and balanced billing is unavoidable if they are to stay afloat. I get that. But come on, $194 versus $4?
Thankfully, there is a way out of this morass. And it's not repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act or even improving the Affordable Care Act. It's a single-payer system, Medicare for All.
We need to join the rest of the industrialized world and provide health care to all of our citizens. Implement new laws and allow Medicare to negotiate the prices of medications as the Veterans Affairs and Medicaid programs do. Let Medicare, with its extraordinarily low administrative costs (estimated at 1 to 5 percent, as compared to nearly 18 percent for private insurance), streamline our system so that we get more for less.
In my vision of a healthy America, private health insurance companies remain in the mix and compete as secondary payers for the 20 percent Medicare traditionally does not cover. Heck, keep private health insurance available as primary insurance for those who want to avoid Medicare entirely, just as many people pay for private school even as they contribute taxes toward our public schools.
I don't underestimate how difficult this transition may be. A large portion of our economy is dependent on the health care industry. Perhaps the transition can be phased in by dropping the Medicare age by 10 years at regular intervals until we cover all Americans. I don't pretend to have all the answers – no one does.
But we're reaching a point where the Richard Gardners in our country are going to demand major change, and that doesn't mean squeezing into an old pair of jeans that no longer fit. As a nation, let's buck up and do the right thing. Republicans and Democrats need to come together and adopt a simpler, less costly system, and that's Medicare for All.

I'm absolutely LOVING the shoe trends that are happening this spring!!!!
The two big trends right now are complete opposites!! There's the sleek heels with the perfect little ankle strap for the night, and some nice big chunky sandals for your day outings!!!
A couple of the chunky sandals are from more affordable places like Forever 21 and Topshop, I've even spotted multiple pairs at Urban Outfitters! You can get a good pair of the ankle strap heels at Nordstrom (or even Nordstrom Rack…if you feel like going hunting!). My fav ankle strap heels are actually the bottom left ones from Steve Madden!!! I love the simplicity of them!
Stay tuned for more trends and don't forget to subscribe!!!

As much as it a pains me to give this guy any more exposure, sometimes you need to in order to expose something.
First, you need to watch the latest video from Joshua Feuerstein to understand what I'm talking about here:
I do this not to further his "cause" or "movement" but rather to counteract it. Mainly with something more practical, but hopefully also with more common sense too.
It's things like this that give Christianity a bad name. I mean really, is this really what Christians should be worried about? Why not do something more useful like feed the homeless and start a movement that'll actually benefit society AND do something Jesus actually commanded and cared about?
Feeding the hungry, helping those in need, comforting the lonely, healing the sick… you know, the things that God and the Bible speak a lot about and places a high level of importance on as ways of living out your faith in a way that pleases God. Getting all offended and upset over coffee cups just seems to be missing the point really. This whole thing is just ridiculous at the end of the day.
I suggest starting a better movement. A movement of people who practically live out and demonstrate their faith by caring and aiding those less fortunate; a movement that if done consistently by everyone who follows Jesus (and not just leaving it to the charities and organisations to deal with) then it could very well make a change and difference in our societies.
I won't suggest a hashtag though because part of living out like this is to also bring humility and make one more humble – not boastful or full of pride on social media by declaring every good deed you do with a slogan for all to see.
Do good, but do it because the love of Christ compels you. Don't do it with the motive and purpose of being seen in order to attract praise. This is not the way of Christ.
There's no need to hashtag your life and good deeds if you're doing things with the right motives, since what you do privately, God will see and know and reward you for that (Matt 6:3-4). There's also no need to start campaigns against non issues in the name of Jesus, either.
Do things right, and do things that Jesus actually cared about and wanted to be challenged and changed within society!
James 1:22,27
But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves … Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
1 John 3:17-18
How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?
Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.

The Green, Green West
Situated on the Loire River, close to the Atlantic coast, Nantes is a green wonder of western France. It is France's sixth largest city, and has a metropolitan area comprising some 800,000 inhabitants. In 2004, Time Magazine named Nantes 'the most liveable city in Europe'.
Sustainable Transport Policy
Over the past 10 years, Nantes has developed a sustainable transport policy with a focus on public transport and bicycles. Development within the city centre is planned to minimise car transport and to provide pedestrians with optimal conditions.
Nantes was the first city in France to successfully re-introduce electric tramways. This effort will continue in the coming years and investments in new tramways, high quality buses service and bicycle infrastructure are foreseen.
Effect on Emissions
The ambitious transport policy shows improvements in reduced air pollution and CO2 emissions. All air pollution indicators (NO2, PM10 and ozone) are below limit values. This transport policy, together with an ambitious climate plan, has reduced CO2 emissions to 4.77 tons per capita.

A study to compare the accuracy of a volumetric fully automated computer assessment of hippocampal volume asymmetry versus neuroradiologists' interpretations of the temporal lobes for mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS), which is important for patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2015 April 23.
An article published in Behavioral Neurology (2009), "Fully-Automated volumetric MRI with Normative Ranges: Translation to Clinical Practice," explains how NeuroQuant®'s fully-automated volumetric MRI capabilities with normative ranges can facilitate wider implementation of volumetric MRI beyond the academic setting.
To assess whether single-time-point and longitudinal volumetric magnetic resonance (MR) imaging measures provide predictive prognostic information in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Radiology, June 2011.
Study to determine the ability of clinically available volumetric MRI (vMRI) and CSF biomarkers, alone or in combination with a quantitative learning measure, to predict conversion to Alzheimer's disease (AD) in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). 2011 October 12.
Authors Rahul Desikan et al from UCSD and UCSF describe a strategy to incorporate newly available imaging markers in the workup of memory problems, emphasizing that evidence of neurodegeneration can be an important piece of the puzzle to guide further management and testing, while helping to avoid overuse of more expensive biomarker tests. The paper highlights the way in which advanced neuroimaging tools such as CorTechs Labs' NeuroQuant® volumetric MRI analysis system can provide information key to an improved understanding of the patient's clinical status. (AJNR Am J Neuroradiology originally published online on June 13, 2013, 10.3174/ajnr.A3644)
Recently published in the journal Imaging in Medicine (June, 2012), Linda K. McEvoy and James B. Brewer argue that while incorporating biomarkers for assessing Alzheimer's disease risk (including volumetric MRI done with NeuroQuant®) can help in patient prognosis, tests for amyloid, if used in isolation, have potential for harm, as amyloid tests are clinically useful only when evidence suggests progressive cognitive decline or neurodegeneration. (Imaging in Medicine, June 2012, Vol. 4, No. 3 , Pages 343-357).
Neuroimaging biomarkers are now routinely incorporated into AD clinical trials and are increasingly used in clinical practice. This paper broadly describes the development and use of these biomarkers as they relate to AD.
Scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have shown that NeuroQuant®'s fully-automated volumetric MRI scanning is effective in predicting the progression from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer's disease. The procedure can be readily used in clinics to measure brain atrophy, and may help physicians to predict decline in MCI patients.

Volumetric analysis of structural MR images of the brain may provide quantitative evidence of neurodegeneration and help identify patients at risk for rapid clinical deterioration. This note describes tests of a fully automated MR imaging postprocessing system for volumetric analysis of structures (such as the hippocampus) known to be affected in early Alzheimer's disease (AD). The system yielded results that correlated highly with independent computer-aided manual segmentation and were sensitive to the anatomic atrophy characteristic of mild AD.

There are many purposes a window can serve and several of these have important ecological considerations:
- Letting light in
- Collecting solar heat
- Providing a view
- Acting as a door
- The visual character of a house
Windows may have associated drawbacks to consider:
- They may let in too much light at certain times
- Too much heat may enter
- They may be leaky in terms of draughts, rainwater and heat
- They may be insecure
- They may deteriorate over time
Letting light into rooms
Using natural light whenever possible saves a considerable amount of energy. The amount of light entering a room through a window is partly to do with the window size but more importantly is to do with how much sky is visible from the window and the size and shape of the room. The light entering directly from the sky may be hundreds of times that which gets reflected from the ground or trees (although sometimes water can be used to reflect light up into windows).
The maximum amount of light is provided by roof lights positioned over the middle of a room. The layout of the house plan affects the amount of light entering, especially if the floor plan is narrow and deep. This was typical of Victorian terrace houses which tended to be dark in the middle, often around the stairs (on the other hand this was better for heat insulation as there was more party wall and less external wall and was also better for land utilisation).
A recent development is the light tube, or solar pipe, which is a metal pipe, highly polished on the inside which funnels light from above the roof down to the area you want it inside the house.
With heavily insulated walls there may be a strong argument for window reveals because the thicker the wall the more the light and view through the window gets cut off. Reveals are simply the shamfering of the corners around a window so that less light and view get cut off.
Take an extreme example of a passivhausSee more on the Passivhaus standard. The PassivHaus Institute has pioneered a standard for low energy buildings. It includes very low energy usage and ways of achieving this. The word is derived from the idea of buildings which are fundamentally low energy and passive solar heated rather than using extra gadgets to heat them. See Passivhaus for the UK branch of the organisation. wall incorporating a dry lining with service gap, 300mm of insulation and a 200mm stone outer cladding, with a 25 mm clearance between the two. In total the wall is almost 600mm thick. The plan drawing below shows a window which is 600mm wide.
With outer and inner splayed reveals (removing the corner of the walls at an angle of 45°), the area of room (the pink green and blue areas) which gets an outside view (and light from the outside) is almost double the amount compared with when there are no splayed reveals (pink area). The narrower the window and the thicker the wall, the more pronounced is the effect. The same goes for roof lights. The other advantage of splayed reveals is their ability to soften the contrast between the light coming through the window and the darkness of the window wall itself. This is not only pleasant but helps the eye see the wall more clearly.
A Pattern Language makes a strong case for thickened walls, particularly around windows, which create pleasant places to sit (179 – ALCOVES, 180 – A WINDOW PLACE , 197 – THICK WALLS , 202 – BUILT IN SEATS)
Collecting solar energy
Windows can be a major contributor in passive solar design. To do this there are four main requirements:
- There needs to be a large unshaded area of south facing glass
- There should be some way of capturing and storing the radiation – say a trombe wallA wall or part of one, acting as a solar collector. Often a layer of double glazing just in front of a heavy, black painted masonry wall, Sunlight heats the masonry. There may be openings (possibly controlled) which allow air to circulate between the glass and the masonry and thus heat the room behind. or dense dark floor
- There needs to be some way of distributing the heat to other parts of the house
- There should be a way of controlling the solar gain and limiting it when excessive
Most of the above are matters for experts to calculate. For more information, go to the Passive Solar Design section.
Views from windows
There are several reasons to consider what kind of views windows give. For instance:
- Seeing who is arriving. Many people feel more secure when they can see who is coming before the other people can see them
- Keeping an eye on small children
- Getting a view of the sky to see what the weather is doing
- General security and seeing who is around
- Views which are beautiful and inspiring – maybe parts of the garden or hills in the distance (on this subject there is a very interesting section in the book 'Pattern Language' called 'A Zen view' which makes the point that if there happens to be a very inspiring view, maybe a distant mountain, the temptation is to have a huge window in a main room which looks at it. In fact it can be more effective to have a small window in a circulation space[for the purposes of part B of the Approved Documents] A space (including a protected stairway) mainly used as a means of access between a room and an exit from the building or compartment such as on the stairs so that you just catch a glimpse of the beauty)
A window as a door
There can be great charm in being able to walk out onto a terrace or balcony through French windows, especially in summer.
The character of windows
The aesthetics of windows is quite a complex subject partly because of all the associations with different historic styles. Compare the traditional Georgian window with the kinds of Modernist design introduced into Britain during the 1960 and 70s. The Georgians were extremely skilled in joinery but the techniques of glass making could not produce large areas of flat glass. Hence the multi-paned, almost lattice like effect of their windows.
By the latter part of the 20th century, large sheets of float glass were readily available but the craft of joinery had been greatly deskilled. Coupled with this was desire for simple uncluttered shapes. Well, which era produced the better windows? Depends on your point of view. Certainly the Georgian windows have stood the test of time better judging by how many are still around but the obsession with sticking replica Georgian windows into contemporary design can look very peculiar!
In fact, finding good contemporary off-the-shelf window designs in Britain is very difficult, partly because many of the large manufacturers are still using old fashioned designs from the 1950s. This is probably why so many self builders either use Scandinavian windows or go to a local joiner.

Vanuatu is described as the second biggest Pacific tourist destination after New Caledonia
According to the executive director of Cruise Lines International Association Neil Linwood, in Daily Post today. He sees the hydrographic surveys being undertaken and electronic charts of island ports as important but stresses the need for Vanuatu's infrastructure to be able to handle the frequency and size of the ships visiting. He recently ran a workshop for stakeholders at the Reserve Bank.
A recent trip to Vanuatu by Richard Butler, Project manager for Pacific haven resort Ltd can now confirm that in October 2014 a new wharf will commence construction as well as a joint-venture has been put together on one of the only vacant waterfront Lots coming off the main part of the commercial business district known as a Lini highway.
We also confirm that we have been told that another large development has just received finance approval after first being released 2 to 3 years ago, the New Zealand government is providing $29 million for the upgrading of the seawall, the Australian government is providing $39 million for the upgrading of the roadworks in around the township of Port Villa and of course the new airport of $350 million investment by a Chinese Singaporean international company.
We can expect many new announcements over the next 12 months of development expenditure, such as new roads resorts joint ventures both in agriculture real estate and marine.
We would also would like to inform that the upgrading of the Bauer field international airport has started. As reported in the local press and the upgrading of the luoganville wharf at a cost of 58 million on Espirtito Santo island along with the upgrading of the Southern Road tar ceiling down past million dollar point, Palekula beach and Past the Santo Golf club Linking up with the already completed Tar sealed road to Hogg harbour The fabulous tourist drive that were funded by the American millennium fund at a cost of in excess of 120 million and finished in the last 24 months.
It's recently been reported in the local press that the government is acquiring land adjoining the Malekula Island Norsup airport.
With construction started of a coastal road running around the top of Malekula Island and down the western side of the island. This has been funded with a loan from the Chinese government and also includes the upgrading of concrete loading wharf's to assist in the export of agriculture .
The tourist number projections are that over 1 million day visitors will be walking the streets of Port Vila within 24 months just from the South Pacific cruises with the new wharfs being completed we should be able to have up to 3 cruise boats and port the same time. Secondly, with the new International airport projections from the developers is in excess of 1 million within the next couple of years ,we about to see a building boom. It should take than move the country to the number one position in the South Pacific for international tourists.
We invite you to visit www.pacifichavenresort.com after reading this update, which will have given you a understanding of the amazing opportunities being provided for tourism resort investment, and the great thing about it is it you able to get started with an investment in Vanuatu tourism, for as low as $199,950 Australian dollar returning rental from 200 to 300 per night. Our projections show that after costs and return can be between 7 to 14% per annul, subject to conditions which are listed on our website.

About Us
Hello and welcome to all Parents and Carers. This page has been compiled by The Friends of Bishops Cannings School especially to provide you with some information about The Friends who form a major part of our school life.
Why do we have a PTA?
We are fortunate at Bishops Cannings to have a PTA that is and has been an integral part of the school community for over 20 years. In its time the Friends has raised thousands of pounds, which has been spent on equipment and resources to enhance our children's educational experience and the school's facilities.
Most recently we have raised money for playground equipment and school sports kit. However, the Friends is about much more than simply fundraising. The Friends exists to provide closer links between home and school and it is an excellent way to bring staff, parents and friends together socially in support of the school, working towards a common goal. It's fun too - just ask any of our committee members or helpers.
All parents, carers and members of the school community are encouraged to get involved, even if they only have a small amount of time available. All families are automatically members of the Friends when their child joins our school.
What do the Friends do?
We feel there's no better way to get involved with your child's school life and be able to contribute in such a direct and hands-on way, than by joining the Friends.
There are lots of ways you can help and support your child through the Friends. Offering to help at events or at other times during the year is so valuable. It doesn't matter if you can't help on a regular basis, or even if you can not come into school. There are often jobs that can be done from home if you have half an hour to spare. We really couldn't achieve what we do without the behind the scenes help that we receive. Some of our most popular fundraising events have been our Cake Stalls, Quiz Nights, Easter Bingo, the school Fair and our Community Christmas Fayre. Not all of our events are run as fundraisers though and we often arrange non-profit making events such as the Leavers BBQ and subsidise educational visits eg. Wiltshire Scrapstore, Circomedia and The Planetarium.
And if you don't want to help the Friends directly that's no problem. You can simply contribute by coming along and enjoying the events we put on throughout the year.
- Charitable Status
The Friends of Bishops Cannings School is a registered charity. As a charity we must abide by Charity Commission rules and regulations. Our constitution sets out the rules about how we operate as a PTA. If you would like to see a copy of the constitution, please contact one of the Committee members. Being a registered charity enables the Friends to:-
- receive charitable donations from local and national companies
- apply to grant-making charitable trusts
- receive donations made through payroll giving and company matched funding schemes
- apply for Gift Aid
- How do I join the Friends?
It's easy to join the Friends. Membership is open, and indeed automatic, to parents and carers of pupils, representatives of the school and its associated bodies.
The Friends committee is elected each year at an Annual General Meeting to which everyone is invited. Our next AGM will be held in the autumn term. Details will be announced in the school newsletter.
Meetings of the Friends committee are then held once or twice per term and all are welcome to attend. You don't have to be an elected member. The more the merrier! Keep an eye on school noticeboards, newsletters and this website for details and dates of meetings. We look forward to seeing you!

HÀ NỘI — Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc recently approved the adjustment and supplementation of the Việt Nam coal industry development plan until 2020, with a vision towards 2030.
Accordingly, the coal sector will invest in constructing new coal sorting factories by 2020, namely Vàng Danh 2, Khe Than, Khe Chàm and Lép Mỹ, with annual capacity of two million tonnes, 2.5 million tonnes, seven million tonnes and four million tonnes, respectively.
In addition, a centralised coal processing and warehouse centre will be built in the Hòn Gai region with capacity of some five million tonnes per year. The first module with annual capacity of 2.5 million tonnes in Hà Khánh Commune will be built and operation of the Nam Cầu Trắng coal sorting factory will be maintained until the end of 2018. The factory will then be moved to the location of the centralised coal processing and warehouse centre to be installed as the second module with capacity of 2.5 million tonnes per year.
The categories of some small-scale projects in the mines of Vàng Danh, Năm Mẫu, Suối Lai and Cọc Sáu, as well as Đèo Nai, Lộ Trí and Mông Dưong, will also be amended, alongside the categories of a number of infrastructure investment projects that serve coal industry development.
Earlier, under Decision No 403/QĐ-TTg, dated March 14, 2016, the PM ratified the adjustment of the development plan of Việt Nam's coal industry until 2020 with a vision towards 2030, with the view to building the coal sector into a developed industry with high competitiveness and advanced technological standards in comparison with regional countries with regard to the steps of coal exploration, mining, sort out, processing and use, sufficiently satisfying domestic coal demand, especially for power generation.
A report from the Việt Nam National Coal and Mineral Industries Group (Vinacomin) revealed that in the first half of this year, coal output was estimated at some 20.6 million tonnes while coal inventory was 9.3 million tonnes.
The inventory is expected to be higher as the PM required Vinacomin to produce additional two million tonnes to contribute to the country's GDP growth rate this year. — VNS

It may seem kind of obvious, but it's certainly a conversation starter. While some teens are trying to separate themselves from their parents as much as possible, it is still important for parents to have their child know that they care. Everyone can benefit from positive reinforcement- even if they say they don't want or need it. Parents can ask their teens about their sport, their goals, and how they can be supportive. Coach Jay thinks what teens are most concerned about is being embarrassed, either unintentionally or intentionally, by their parents in front of their friends, teammates and peers.
Despite what a teenagers may say, as long as parents don't embarrass them, deep down they will appreciate their support. One way to show this is by showing up to games and cheering them on. Depending on a teen's personality, the sport, and cultural norms, this may be a simple handshake combined with a "Congratulations, well done" spoken after the game vs. a "KNOCK IT OUT OF THE PARK!" yelled at the top of the parent's lungs during the middle of a game. If parents are not familiar with the sport, the culture, or their teen's comfort levels, they should check with their son or daughter prior to the game. Parents just need to remember it is all about the teen – to avoid embarrassing him or her at all costs.
Coach Jay has observed many student-athletes not getting enough sleep on day-to-day basis, which can have a negative impact on recovery and performance. Others have a tendency to sleep away the day. Supportive parents should acknowledge their teen's need for sleep, encouraging the performance-enhancing benefits of getting a good night's rest. Parents can even throw down a challenge to see how performance is affected when going to bed "whenever" vs. going to bed at a set time. Parents should also consider monitoring and recording behavior and performance goals over a designated period of time (1 week to 1 month).
The hardest part about eating healthy for both teen and adults is knowing what to eat as well as finding time to prepare the foods. Parents can start with the following link for free resources on healthy food choice, meal planning, and shopping suggestions: www.myplate.gov.
Once parents and their student athletes put together a weekly meal plan together, responsibilities are divided up between who will shop, who will cook, who will clean up and when everyone in the family can all share a meal together. Any of these activities performed together are opportunities for parents to inquire about their teen's sport, how their athlete is progressing, and how they can make a meaningful contribution.
A properly designed strength and conditioning program consists of pre-season, in-season, post season, and off-season preparation in order to prevent injury and enhance performance. Parents can check with their teen's head coach or athletic director to inquire how these needs are being met. Many coaches and schools contract out with a certified strength coach if the services are not provided within the curriculum. Otherwise, parents can look for a professional with certifications from any of the following agencies: NSCA (National Strength & Conditioning Association), IYCA (International Youth Conditioning Association) and USAW (United States Weightlifting Association), to be sure their teen's needs are being adequately met.

European Air Operations: RAF Bomber Command raids the factories at Regensburg and other targets in Germany and Belgium, including various invasion ports. Other raids target Venice and drop leaflets on Padua.
The RAF continues its Operation Circus activities, which are heavily escorted bomber raids intended to draw Luftwaffe fighters up for destruction. Today it begins Operation Rhubarb, a subset of Circus. In Operation Rhubarb, fighters without accompanying bombers operate over occupied Europe and basically strafe any worthwhile targets. Just for clarity, there are several subsets of Operation Circus:
- Operation Rhubarb: fighter strafing runs at random
- Operation Roadstead: fighter attacks on coastal shipping
- Operation Ranger: large-scale fighter intrusions
- Operation Ramrod: Fighter intrusions with specific targets.
These RAF Circus Operations do not come without a cost. Today, for instance, Fw. Helmut Brügelmann of 8./JG 26 and Oblt. Kinzinger of I./JG 54 together shoot down RAF fighters over Boulogne and Texel, respectively.
The Luftwaffe is quiet during the day, then sends a desultory raid of 141 bombers against London and the nearby Thames Estuary region after dark.

Norwegian 5498 ton freighter Tijuca hits a mine south of Cardiff in the Bristol Channel - one of several ships caught in this minefield recently - and is damaged. It makes it to the port of Barry, nine miles to the west of Cardiff.
Royal Navy minelayer HMS Teviotbank lays minefield BS 49 in the English Channel.
Some sources place today as the date of grounding of liner SS Manhattan nine miles north of Palm Beach, Florida, others a few days before this. It takes three weeks to refloat the liner. Both the captain and the first officer are disciplined with suspensions.
Convoy WS 5B (Winston Special) departs from Avonmouth. This is a major convoy of 21 troop transport ships heading to the Middle East and the Far East (including Singapore). They carry 40,000 fighting men. The escort includes battleship HMS Ramillies for the first five days. This convoy will be on the high seas until March.

British Middle East Command orders RAF No. 33 Squadron, equipped with Hurricanes based in Egypt, to begin transferring to Greece pursuant to recent decisions reached by the Chiefs of Staff. This transfer begins slowly and will take over a month to complete.
The Italian Navy, led by battleships Vittorio Veneto and Andrea Doria, has been temporarily at sea to confront the British Operation Excess convoys to Malta. Today, thinking that the Royal Navy's aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious is still a threat, it timidly returns to port. In fact, the Illustrious is in port and incapable of air operations.
The Australian 6th Infantry Division and British 7th Armoured Division of XIII Corps continue isolating Tobruk from landward communications and prepare an attack, which should take about ten days to prepare. While Italian opposition has been light to non-existent, simply moving tanks across the desert has sent many Matildas to the repair shops. The attack itself, though, is perceived to be a straightforward affair, as the Tobruk defenses are extremely similar to those of Bardia.
Once again, Royal Navy assets are tied up hauling Italian prisoners back to Alexandria, this time from Bardia. Net layer HMS Protector takes 1058 with it today, but there are many more awaiting transfer.

None of the units actually is Norwegian in totality, and all remain firmly under German control by German officers and NCOs. The Norwegians wish to fight as a group, but Steiner is leery about that and splits the Norwegians into small groups in every company.

Ethiopia: The British troops in Sudan stage successful raids along the border around Metemma, Ethiopia. The Duke of Aosta, in charge of Italian forces in Abyssinia (Ethiopia), deploys the Savoia Grenadiers - elite troops - to defend Keren (Cheren) in Italian Somaliland.
Indochina: The Thai ground troops continue advancing toward Pakse. The French have problems with their own Indochinese native troops, who are mutinying in Annam.
China: The Nationalist Chinese (Kuomintang) continue squeezing the encircled Chinese Communist New 4th Army troops at Maolin along the Yangtze River.
German Homefront: It is Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering's birthday, which is celebrated (by decree) throughout the Reich. Goering is considered somewhat of a specialist on Italian relations because he spent some time there in poverty with his wife Carin during the 1920s (when Benito Mussolini would not give him the time of day despite Goering's repeated pleas for meetings), so Mussolini sends him a birthday present via the Italian ambassador in Berlin, Dino Alfieri. It is a collection of three medieval paintings, including one associated with the 15th-century Sterzinger Altar by German sculptor and painter Hans Multscher (the others are by an unknown artist, "The Visitation" and "Flight into Egypt"). Goering vows to scour the Continent for the missing parts of the Sterzinger altar - which are scattered all across Europe - and gather associated artwork and reconstruct them at his villa Carinhall north of Berlin.
This actually is part of a deal between Mussolini and Goering in which Goering receives the artwork "as a present," while Goering sends Mussolini some Italian artwork located in Germany. The transfer is "purchased" by the Fascist ministry, although Italian law at the time prevented such transfers (such seemingly fine distinctions become quite important... later). The Fascists give the local commune where the paintings are located 9 million lire, about $400,000, in exchange for the artwork.

They say that top CEOs read 40-50 books per year. This year, it is my goal to read one book per week. For the first week of the year, I dug into Greg McKeown's Essentialism. It was an amazing read and I'm excited to tell you about it!
While this book is packed with gem after gem, here are three quick takeaways:
1. Less but better.
We only have so much energy to devote to a task or number of tasks. We can either make a millimeter of progress in 100 directions, or vast progress by focusing in one direction. The essentialist chooses to do less, but better. Here is the graphic McKeown uses to illustrate his point:
2. "In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present"– Lao Tzu
In order to find fulfillment in the day-to-day, it is important to work at what you enjoy. It's taken me 20+ years in the workforce to find what I enjoy, but I truly believe that I've found it. It's not about money or esteem or travel or any of that. It comes down to finding your purpose and aligning with it.
In family, being present is the best thing we can do. With technology, this has become increasingly difficult, but it is no less true. Make it a goal to set some boundaries regarding your screen time in the presence of your family. We only live one life and, at the end of it, family will be what matters the most. The sooner we realize this, the sooner we'll put our screens in our jeans and play with our kids, spend time with our spouse, call our parents, write to our grandparents, etc… One life, LIVE IT!
3. Ghandi owned less than 10 items when he died.
Regarding material possessions, Greg shares that Ghandi spun his own clothes by hand and, when he died, he owned less than 10 possessions. Wow! As I look around my house, I can count 100 things without moving my gaze. McKeown does not encourage us to become like Ghandi, he simply uses him as an example to make a point. There is a lot of freedom in cleaning out your closet, under your bed, your garage, the crawlspace, even your sock drawer! Trust me, Jessie and I did this as I read this book. Only yesterday, I cleared out over 60 shirts from my closet. 60 t-shirts! The garbage bag is so heavy, I can barely maneuver it.
Anyhow. Less is more. Simplicity is the new black and there is more freedom in not buying than in buying. When tempted to accumulate, ask yourself if you really need it.
Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, is of a similar mindset with Greg in that going back to a simpler life is not a step backward. There are endless things to buy, endless ways to spend our time, and endless people to please, but we have limited resources. The book consistently compares the non-essentialist to the essentialist and this tactic is effective.
The book ends with a few pages on the Essentialist Leader, which caused me to think of my role as leader of my team. Whether you are a leader or a dreamer or a regular Joe whose closet needs cleaning, you'll enjoy this book. I highly recommend it and know that it will be tough to top as I read 51 more books this year.
Make it a great week and remember to…
"Keep It Paleo!"
Your Pal,
Paleo Nick
(Some words of wisdom from Yvon…)

Strategy for Protecting and Preparing the Homeland Against Threats from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) and Geomagnetic Disturbance (GMD)
On October 9, 2018, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security [DHS] released a new strategy designed to address the threats posed by electromagnetic incidents. DHS assesses that such an incident could be "potentially catastrophic" and as such, has released this strategy to protect the critical infrastructure in the United States.
The two types of electromagnetic incidents identified as threats by DHS are electromagnetic pulses (EMP) and geomagnetic disturbances (GMD). According to DHS, intentional attacks with "high-altitude nuclear detonations, specialized conventional munitions, or non-nuclear directed energy devices" cause EMPs. By contrast, GMDs are naturally associated with solar coronal mass ejections, described as "when
plasma from the sun, with its embedded magnetic field, arrives at Earth." Both can cause widespread effects on critical infrastructure.
In the Introduction to the strategy, DHS describes that the effects of EMPs,
vary in scale from highly local to regional to continental, depending upon the specific characteristics of the weapon and the attack profile. High-altitude electromagnetic pulse attacks (HEMP) using nuclear weapons are of most concern because they may permanently damage or disable large sections of the national electric grid and other critical infrastructure control systems.
Though GMDs are naturally occurring, DHS describes them as having similar effects to EMPs, including "widespread and long-lasting damage to electric power systems, satellites, electronic navigation systems, and undersea cables." DHS notes that,
Essentially, any electronics system that is not protected against extreme EMP or GMD events may be subject to either the direct "shock" of the blast itself or to the damage that is inflicted on the systems and controls upon which they are dependent.
As such, DHS created a national strategy addressing the threat posed by both of these events, one which would articulate a "holistic, long-term, partnership-based approach to confronting this challenge." The overarching goal of the strategy was to "improve the Department's understanding of electromagnetic threats and hazards and inform efforts to increase national preparedness for any electromagnetic incident." In addition to this goal, the three specific goals included in the strategy are:
- Improve risk awareness of electromagnetic threats and hazards;
- Enhance capabilities to protect critical infrastructure; and
- Promote effective electromagnetic-incident response and recovery efforts.
Organizationally, the national strategy is broken into five distinct parts: an introduction, three goals, and appendices. The Introduction includes sections on mandate and scope of the report, background on electromagnetic incidents, summary and implementation of the strategy itself, and acknowledgements. The three aforementioned goals are focused on highlighting the risk of electromagnetic events, assessing the current state of US infrastructure and its vulnerabilities to such incidents, and considering the response options to such incidents should they transpire. The last section contains one appendix with technical background on EMPs, GMDs, and their effects.
In addition to the national strategy, DHS stated that it is currently developing an Implementation Plan, which will,
include measures that enable DHS to evaluate progress toward addressing identified capability gaps. Together, the Strategy and its companion Implementation Plan will improve the Department's management oversight and optimize resource utilization for our EMP/GMD protection, response, and recovery activities.
DHS has also indicated that it plans to "review and update the EMP/GMD Strategy, as needed, and regularly assess the Department's progress on the Implementation Plan."
More resources about electromagnetic incidents, electromagnetic pulses, and geomagnetic disturbances can be found in the Homeland Security Digital Library.

REGARDING MY MOTHER: I wanted to thank all of you who e-mailed me about my mother. I had asked for prayer concerning her health. I received so many e-mails that were so comforting that could not answer them all. But they were very welcome and through them the Lord ministered to me. So thank you.
Now, I have peace that my mom knew the Lord and that now she is in His presence. On March 30 she passed away. I was able to spend the night in the Hospice with her before she died. I was the last one to see her conscious. Late at night she woke up asking for help. She was disoriented. I told her that I was there and after a few minutes she recognize me. She received some pain medication and then went to sleep. She never woke up again. My dad was there when she passed away.
Again, I sincerely and deeply thank all of you who wrote so many wonderful e-mails. You do not realize how valuable they were during this time and how the Lord used them to minister to me. Thank you very much.
JOB: My job situation has improved. My time at work has been extended two to three more weeks. They are training me for something else with the hopes that I will be retained. Unfortunately, we do not know what the management will ultimately decide as far as headcount goes. So, my job is not secure, but at least I have the few weeks reprieve. Please remember this and prayer if you think of it.
My wife is a wonderful, supportive woman. But, perhaps her faith is greater than mine, for I am worried that if I were to take such a step, that we would falter financially and my family would suffer. CARM's income has been increasing steadily as donors, contributors, and sales of the notebooks are steadily increasing. I would love to do this full-time. As my wife says, "Matt, you are made for this." So, please pray that the Lord's will would be done and pray that I can go full-time. Also, if you feel so lead to support this ministry financially, please prayerfully consider it. If you do want to help out, please see the bottom of this newsletter.
Christ: Christ is a title. It is the N.T. equivalent of the O.T. term "messiah" and means "anointed one." It is applied to Jesus as the anointed one who delivers from sin. Jesus alone is the Christ. As the Christ He has three offices: Prophet, Priest, and King. As Prophet He is the mouthpiece of God (Matt. 5:27-28) and represents God to man. As Priest He represents man to God and restores fellowship between them by offering Himself as the sacrifice that removed the sin of those saved. As King He rules over His kingdom. By virtue of Christ creating all things (John 1:3; Col. 1:16-17), He has the right to rule.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord," (Rom. 6:23).
|Memorization Verse
Rom. 6:5,
"For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection," (NASB).

SPRINGFIELD, MA – A rollover truck accident Saturday afternoon, June 26, shut down a section of road for several hours in Hampden County, Massachusetts. There were no serious injuries in the single vehicle incident which occurred on Page Boulevard in Springfield, MA and leaked diesel fuel and left debris strewn across the roadway. The truck accident area is in the southwest section of the state, about 90 miles west of Boston, MA and about 27 miles north of Hartford, Connecticut.
At about 2:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon a truck driver for Chet's Wrecking was driving a semi trailer truck on Page Boulevard in Springfield, Hampden County, MA. The trailer of the truck was filled with wood, dirt, and other recyclables materials, and the business that owned the truck was also located on Page Blvd., in Springfield.
As the trailer truck moved through the 2000 block area of Page Blvd. and Pasco Road, the driver reportedly lost control of the 18 wheeler. According to police, one of the tires on the rig blew out and threw the semi off balance. The trailer tipped and rolled over landing on its right hand side, coming to a rest in a resident's yard. When it flipped over the trailer truck lost a good deal of its cargo and also spilled an unknown amount of diesel fuel.
No other vehicles or persons were involved in the rollover truck accident.
The unidentified truck driver was able to crawl out of the cab of his truck through a windshield that had shattered during the rollover. Local emergency personnel who responded to the truck accident checked the driver out and determined that he was not seriously injured.
Springfield firefighters were also at the scene of the rollover truck accident and worked to clean up and contain the diesel fuel that had spilled from the 18 wheeler. Other crews worked to clear the cargo and debris out of the roadway.
Local police shut down a section of Page Blvd. and Pasco Road around the truck accident while the emergency workers cleared the area. The road would remain closed to traffic for more than two hours.
Investigators were also on the site to reconstruct the truck accident, and after preliminary investigation believe that the blown tire caused the truck to go out of control and overturn.
At this time no charges have been brought against the truck driver or the company and the truck accident remains under investigation.

I have 8 zones and run both flex daily on 3 zones and the flex monthly on the remaining 5 zones. I noticed the other day the flex monthly was scheduled to run but I didn't get a notification that it did or didn't. I went into the app and saw that it hadn't so I ran it manually. Last night I noticed that both my monthly and daily were scheduled to run this morning (Sunday 7/10). I looked this morning and it seems the flex daily moved to tomorrow and the monthly just didn't run again. I have the monthly set to kick off at 4:30 am and the daily to kick off at 5am so if they ever do run on the same date it starts with the monthly. I didn't see anything similar on this so figures I would post. Appreciate your response. Thanks.
Can you reach out to firstname.lastname@example.com with this information? Without seeing screenshots and looking at your scheduling history it is difficult to determine the status of your watering schedules.

Start an empty project with Helix
After some break from doing development on top of Sitecore CMS I came back and started my way with a deep dive into Helix principals and investigating examples and existing implementations. As everyone does I really like the idea behind the Helix principals in a way how it fits for Sitecore projects.
But I found out that it is still quite difficult to setup a new project from scratch...from empty solution (so not copying Habitat and then clean it out LOL). I took a look into the Habitat implementation, scripts, VS templates, but it was not fast, it was not clear enough how to take into account dependencies, packages, and how to be able to keep it all up to date during the project timeline/lifecycle.
I started thinking about how to create an empty start point for the project based on Helix principals.
I came up with the simple idea to include templates for Feature/Foundation/Project/Test + whatever into the solution. That makes templates that you use visible. And because of that it is easy to maintain and customize them for project needs. Once you customize it, you have your basic Helix instruments for the project, that can easy live and be changed during project life cycle.
I would like to share the way how I see it can be done. My approach consists of 2 main parts: Helix setup and build script.
Before I start with technical part, I would like to mention people who helped me a lot here.
For Helix ps scripts, I would like to say "thank you" to Marc Duiker. I used his scripts as a starting point and changed them when it was needed.
For the build script idea, I would like to say "thank you" to Ruud van Falier.
Let's start with solution structure:
(code can be found at https://github.com/mfel/Heli):
- Visual Studio 2017
- PowerShell v3 or later
- Visual Studio Powershell Tools
- MS-Build PS module for build script (https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Invoke-MsBuild/2.6.0)
Solution Explorer:
What is the difference from usual setup?
The Feature, Feature.Tests, Foundation, Foundation.Tests, and Project template projects are now located under the Configuration folder as a part of the solution.
There is a PowerShell project Scripts that contains 2 folders: Build and Helix. Build contains instruments for local build and publishing processes, whereas Helix contains instruments for Helix modules creation.
As you see in the Solution Explorer we now have all Templates under the Configuration folder. That gives us the opportunity to quickly review, check, add, delete, modify dependencies via NuGet Package Manager for each Template. We can extend them with TDS templates as well in case we use TDS as a serialization provider, or add GlassMapper dependencies when needed. The same goes for Test Projects. For example, we can add dependencies to FakeDB for Foundation Test project, but we omit it for Feature project and have a dependency there only on Moq.
(This setup is an instrument for development, so it can be excluded during the deployment for Acceptance, Production)
Folder Structure:
It is the common structure for Helix projects:
Configs settings:
This setup has 2 configs:
- Add-helix-module-configuration.json
- Build-publish-configuration.json + publishingsettings.targets (I will put more details in build script section about it!)
These configuration files are the only point to specify location for certain folders.
Publishing targets in this setup are also defined once and used to deploy every Module in solution. This is done to speed up publishing process for whole solution. You can still have publishing targets per project, for needs to deploy only particular module. So, this possibility is still in place.
I also added Profile.ps that contains paths to the scripts to easily use it in PackageManagementConsole.
How does it work?
First, download solution template from https://github.com/mfel/Helix
Open it in VS.
Modify configs:
- Add-helix-module-configuration.json
- featureNamespacePrefix
- projectNamespacePrefix
- foundationNamespacePrefix
- "slnName": "YOUR_SLN_NAME_HERE.sln",
- filesToExclude. Here I have[ ".Test.csproj", ".ModuleName.csproj", ".ProjectName.csproj", ".FeatureName.csproj", "FoundationName.csproj", ".ModuleName.Tests.csproj", "Scripts.pssproj" ].
It can be expanded with for example TDS modules.
Configuration part is now finished.
Next part is to adjust/customize templates for Project, Feature, Foundation, Tests.
This simply can be done via the Package Management console and by just editing the current structure in a way that you would like it to have.
When this part is finished we have our instruments ready for use.
To see it doing its work, open Package Management Console and run
It contains 3 functions:
- Add-project YOUR_PROJECT_NAME_HERE
- Add-Foundation YOUR_FOUNDATION_NAME_HERE
- Add-Feature YOUR_ FEATURE_NAME_HERE
Each function will create a specific module and its accompanying Test project.
Let's look at what is done so far for build-publish to local folders.
Local-build-publish.ps1 contains one method Run that does the following:
- it executes Build for SLN
- After that it parsesthe sln file and copies ContentItems to the target folder.
The main idea is to not run build and publish commands per project, but instead build the solution once and then copy necessary files in a way: parse sln file, collect all projects that are included (+ exclude the ones that are in the property ''filesToExclude'' of Build-publish-configuration.json) and copy all files that are mentioned in csproj files to the destination folder (destination folder is in the Publishsettings.targets).
The benefits of this approach are
- It is faster than to run "Publish" for each project separately.
- It copies only files that are included into the projects, not everything that is in the file system.
The script does not do any front-end operations by design. It gives you an opportunity to be free to choose any front-end framework/setup and add necessary scripts.

Before the people of Israel entered into the Promised Land, God gave them a special instruction as to how they were to express their gratitude: they were to share. Out of thankfulness toward Him they were to give the poor and the stranger something of theirs. God gave them the commandment: "When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest, and you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger."
This notion of sharing can also be found in the gospel. The Apostles picked up on it and spread it further. Because we have ourselves received gifts from God, we share with the poor and the stranger.
Sharing is a firm component of Christian faith and it fits very well into our time. With it we Christians offer a counterweight to the ever-present motto of maximizing profit: in all things one must extract as much as humanly possible—as much money, as much time, as much advantage, as much utility, as much esteem, and as much prestige as possible. Everyone wants the maximum for himself. That applies to the individual, it applies to society, to the economy, to the country, and so on. And in the process, one often forgets one's neighbour, the poor, and the stranger.
We are aware that everything we have comes from God. And God expects us not only to give Him His portion, but rather also that we have something to spare for our neighbour, for those who are in need. Because we have received so much from Him, the dear God tells us, "I want you to also share that which I give you with others. Share your time, share your strength, share your money, share your gifts. Take a moment to care for the poor, your neighbour, those who are in need."
That is the Christian faith put into practice.
Food for thought from a divine service by the Chief Apostle
