Field Guide: Microsoft Corp.
Microsoft has a tremendous range of technology solutions that may be useful to you-and that you may not know about. Here's a look at what you need to know.
#Microsoft #Fiat #Apple
The company
Microsoft Corp. (Redmond, WA; www.microsoft.com) was founded in 1975 by two high school friends, Bill Gates and Paul Allen, who focused on writing software for the computers now available for home users. This was several years before IBM introduced both the product and the name "personal computer" (PC) in August 1981. But when it appeared, the IBM PC was introduced with 16-bit MS-DOS-Microsoft Disk Operating System.
Development in command-line MS-DOS continued over the years. Eventually, eight major standalone versions came out until Microsoft stopped development in 2000. MS-DOS always faced competition, not only from the graphical user interface (GUI) in the Apple Macintosh computer, but also from Microsoft itself. In 1985, Microsoft introduced its first, albeit rudimentary (with limited GUI and multi-tasking), Windows OS-Windows 1.0. Windows 3.0 was launched in May 1990. Today, Windows XP, introduced in October 2001, runs on about 90% of the desktop and workstation computers worldwide. Windows Vista was introduced in January 2007.
Featured Content
With the OS as foundation, Microsoft branched out into "personal productivity" tools: Microsoft Works and Microsoft Word for word processing, Excel for spreadsheet analysis, PowerPoint for slide presentations, and other applications. Many of these programs come bundled in Microsoft Office Suite(s). Other software products have followed: server-side OS and applications, development tools, information technology (IT) infrastructure tools-and more personal productivity applications for desktops, business workstations, mobile devices, and lately accessible on-line on the Web (also known as "cloud computing").
As of June 30, 2007, Microsoft employed approximately 78,500 people and has net revenues of $51.12 billion (15% over the previous year), with a net income of $14.07 billion (12% over the previous year).
Product information
The Microsoft product catalog includes dozens of individual applications and combinations of applications. Generally, Microsoft's product segments are Windows (client), office, mobile devices, business solutions, servers, developer tools, games and Xbox, hardware, and MSN. Many of these products, except obviously the entertainment products, come in versions suitable for individual PCs or for collaborative business environments involving multiple users at a single site or in multiple remote sites.
Windows (client)
Desktop OS. The Microsoft Windows OS, which include currently supported Windows XP and Vista, are the foundation for a range of applications, services, and hardware.
Embedded OS. Windows also comes as an embedded ("small footprint") OS. Microsoft Windows CE is a 32-bit, memory-protected OS kernel embedded in devices that require hard, real-time operation. CE 6.0 can run as many as 32,000 simultaneous processes, each with 2 GB of virtual memory space. Windows XP Embedded (XPe) is a "componentized" form of Windows XP Professional, which enables the OS to be as small as 40 MB. The .NET Micro Framework provides Microsoft .NET for inexpensive and resource-constrained devices. It requires a few hundred kilobytes of RAM, as little as 512K of flash memory, and an inexpensive 32-bit processor. Windows Embedded for Point of Service (WEPOS) is the Windows OS optimized for point-of-service (POS) systems used by retail and hospitality companies. WEPOS supports applications written to the Win32 APIs and .NET framework, and supports Java virtual machines.
Microsoft desktop programs let individuals and organizations author, collect, transform, and display source data into useful information in a variety of formats for a broad range of activities. Applications include database, spreadsheet, Web site authoring and management tool (FrontPage), product information management (Outlook), product data management (OneNote), slide creation and presentation, project management, desktop publishing, business-related diagramming (Visio), and word processing. Many of these applications can be found bundled as Office suites, such as Office Home and Student, Office Professional, Office Small Business, Office Ultimate, and Office Enterprise.
Several Microsoft business products increase individual productivity by extending the desktop programs, such as Business Intelligence, Duet for Microsoft Office and SAP, Enterprise Project Management Solution, Office Live Meeting, Office Business Applications, Office Live, Windows SharePoint Services. Duet for Microsoft Office and SAP links users to SAP business processes and data through Microsoft Office. Office Live Meeting lets users participate in online meetings anywhere at a moment's notice. Office Live helps small businesses establish a Web presence.
Mobile devices
Windows embedded OS, Windows Mobile software, and applications such as MapPoint and Windows Automotive extend the Windows operating environment to devices beyond the traditional desktop. These devices include cell phones, personal digital assistant (PDA), data collection devices, and automobiles. Microsoft SmartPhones-mobile phones running Windows Mobile-lets users browse the Web, view Microsoft Office files, listen to music, and use Outlook for email, using their own contacts and calendar. Run Office Mobile and Office Outlook Mobile on a PDA and get all that minus the phone capability. Windows Live for Windows Mobile adds cloud computing to mobile phones and WiFi-enabled PDAs.
MapPoint helps users visualize, analyze, and communicate geographic and demographic data. This software has GPS functionality, and provides text and voice-prompted driving guidance for Windows XP users, among other features.
Business Solutions
Microsoft Dynamics (formerly Microsoft Business Solutions). Microsoft Dynamics (www.microsoft.com/dynamics/default.mspx) offers a line of business management applications covering financial, supply chain (SCM), and customer relationship management (CRM), as well as enterprise resource planning (ERP), product and project portfolio management, distribution (including electronic data interchange and shipment control), operations performance (including manufacturing execution systems and quality initiatives), retail and sales management, human resource management, and customer service.
These software systems are delivered by independent software vendors and Microsoft Certified Solution Developers worldwide who provide software customizations (vertical industry and regional), technical computing, operations management, and other specialized services. These specialists cover a variety of industries including field service, industrial equipment and discrete manufacturing, oil and gas, process manufacturing, professional services, and retail sales.
Microsoft Automotive Business Unit. Since 1995, the Microsoft Automotive Business Unit (www.microsoft.com/industry/manufacturing/automotive/default.mspx) has worked with automakers, tier-one suppliers, systems integrators, and internal groups to design in-car technology for drivers and passengers. These efforts are just beginning to appear in vehicles.
Windows Automotive 5.0, based on the Windows CE, is an automotive-grade OS that supports high-end 3D graphics navigation systems as well as single-function devices. Microsoft Auto is a software and hardware system for in-car communications, entertainment, navigation, and related information systems. Microsoft Auto integrates vehicles with popular portable electronic devices, such as mobile phones and media players. The voice technology for hands-free operations is speaker independent.
To date, two automakers have incorporated Microsoft Auto in their vehicles. Sync, a joint development between Microsoft and Ford Motor Co., is a communications and entertainment system for the car. It uses voice commands and Bluetooth wireless technology to give users in-car, voice-activated, mobile communications (text messages are read aloud) and entertainment system access. Sync also has a USB port for plugging in devices, such as Microsoft Zune or Apple iPod music players, neither of which are Bluetooth-compatible. Similarly, "Blue & Me" has been available in Fiat vehicles across Europe since 2006. Blue & Me includes some vehicle diagnostics.
In telematics, Microsoft Tellme (an acquisition) demonstrated in August 2007 an alternative to the in-car navigation and assistance offered by General Motor Corp.'s OnStar service. Tellme uses voice-recognition software and Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones to operate.
Microsoft server products have the singular goal of creating an integrated server infrastructure for supporting the needs of multiple users within and outside an enterprise. Dozens of tools, utilities, and products fall into the server category. Here are descriptions of just a handful of server products.
Microsoft Antigen detects viruses, worms, spam, and inappropriate content. BusinessTalk Server provides core business processes and process management technologies. Microsoft Exchange Server addresses the business needs of email messaging, security, noncompliance, and vulnerabilities (such as email tampering). Microsoft Forefront business security products enhance network protection. Microsoft SQL Server is a comprehensive, integrated data management and analysis system.
With Hyper-V Server, Microsoft's virtuali-zation technology, users can create and manage one or more virtual machines on a server. Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 combines several Microsoft and acquired products for enterprise-wide business intelligence (BI) visualization and analysis.
Windows Server is a multipurpose OS capable of handling diverse server functions in either a centralized or distributed mode. These functions include file and print server, Web application services, mail server, terminal server. remote access and virtual private network server, built-in virtualization for multiple OSs, streaming media server, and various directory services.
Built on Microsoft Windows Server, Windows SharePoint Services helps computers connect across organizations and remote, multi-site locations. It is a foundation for building Web-based business applications and for authoring, sharing, and controlling documents and information (including through blogs and wikis) within an enterprise.
Windows Small Business Server provides small- to mid-sized businesses with file and printer sharing, a secure Internet connection for all of the business's workstations, remote access to data, an intranet, and a messaging system that also lets employees access email from mobile devices.
For home enterprises, mostly home entertainment, there's Microsoft's Windows Home Server. This consumer server lets users store and stream media files, back up multiple PCs, connect remotely to the Web, play Xbox and Microsoft-label video games, and perform other functions involving personal productivity, home entertainment, and Web surfing.
Developer tools
Microsoft offers a variety of programming languages, standards, and tools for developing applications (msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx). For instance, the Visual Basic language is for creating object-oriented applications. Visual C++ development environment is for creating Microsoft Windows-based and Microsoft .NET-based applications. C# is a simple, type-safe, object oriented, general-purpose programming language.
Win32 is the 32-bit application programming interface (API) for modern versions of Windows. COM is the object-oriented successor to Win32. Developers can use Win32 and COM to develop device drivers, utilities, and applications. (.NET will eventually provide all the functionality exposed by Win32 and COM APIs.) The Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) is a platform-independent, distributed, object-oriented system for creating interactive software components. COM is the foundation technology for Microsoft's OLE (compound documents), ActiveX (Internet-enabled components), and other software technologies.
.NET is the latest Windows programming technology (Win32, then COM, now .NET, which replaces what was called Windows Distributed InterNet Applications Architecture, DNA). .NET is both portable and cross-platform; the same codebase can be used on unrelated systems, such as Windows PCs, mobile, embedded, and smart devices (e.g., PocketPC and Smartphone), servers, and other OS such as Linux, Solaris, and Mac OS X (through open .NET runtimes like Mono).
Microsoft ASP.NET is a free technology for creating dynamic web applications. ASP.NET AJAX, also free, is for creating Web applications that work across all popular browsers. Microsoft ActiveX control is essentially a downloadable OLE object-based application that works in Microsoft's web browser, Internet Explorer. Microsoft Visual Studio has tools for all phases of software development-creation, testing, deployment, integration, and management (both software development and application lifecycle management). These tools include code editors, wizards, and multiple coding languages in one integrated development environment to support software development across all types of devices-PCs, servers, the Web, and mobile devices.
Another Microsoft development tool to note is Microsoft Expression Studio, which is used to create standards-based websites (intranet or worldwide Web) and to manage that content. Also included is an illustration and graphic design tool for building digital elements for both Web and desktop user interfaces, as well as an asset management tool to visually catalog and organize these digital elements.
Games and Xbox
The Microsoft Xbox 360 (www.xbox.com/) runs a variety of Microsoft and third-party games that range from elementary children's games, to "edutainment," to photorealistic action games. Xbox Live offers Xbox games online. Similarly, GamesforWindows.com provides about 50 Windows-branded games-no installation required; parental controls available-many of which work on both XP- and Vista-based PCs.
Hardware products from Microsoft include pointing devices (mice) and keyboards (as well as mice, keyboards, and gaming controllers optimized for games) and hardware for Internet communications (webcams and headsets). For business use, for example, the Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse integrates cursor control, laser pointer, and remote media control in one device. Microsoft also has a line of wireless peripherals for desktop computers and media centers. The Microsoft Fingerprint Reader lets users log on to their PC and Web sites with the touch of a finger-memorizing usernames and passwords are no longer required.
MSN (www.msn.com) provides online services including email, instant messaging, and information services, such as MSN Search, MSN portals (e.g., Expedia for travel arrangements), and MSN directory, which has links to other data sources from "A-list" of popular searches to yellow pages information (and lots in between).
Microsoft's new Windows Live services (www.live.com) is a set of online applications for social networking, including email, instant messaging, computer security, photo sharing, and blogging. These only require a Web browser to use.
Microsoft Research (research.microsoft.com) conducts both basic and applied research in computer science and software engineering, including language processing, speech recognition, and other more-intuitive ways of interacting with computers; machine learning; vision technology; telepresence (the merging of virtual reality with physical reality at the user level); computer development tools and programming; data mining, analysis, and management; cryptography; and collaboration (computer integration and user-to-user).
Part of Microsoft Research is Live Labs, which works with academia, and AdLab, an incubation lab in Beijing focused on improving advertising services. Microsoft also offers training in a variety of learning formats, including multi-day courses and one-day clinics both in classrooms and on-line. Microsoft Press publishes books and training materials for Microsoft products and technologies.
Even with 90% of the market in OS and applications, competitive threats to Microsoft abound in all the markets Microsoft participates. In 2007, the Apple Mac OS was rewritten to run on both Apple and traditional Windows-based computers. Linux OS is another competitor; Linux OS and applications are often free and freely created by thousands of volunteer developers worldwide.
A more immediate threat, particularly to Microsoft packaged software, comes from Web-based services and application, such as from Yahoo and Google. Salesforce.com, for example, has over 700 on-line offerings beyond CRM in its product line-up. Microsoft Windows Live is starting to respond to these competitors, as well as compete with Microsoft's own packaged software.
Microsoft holds nearly 90% of the web browser market with its Internet Explorer. Firefox, an open-source web browser from Mozilla, is probably Microsoft's biggest competitor here, with barely over 10% of the market. Competition in web browsers will heat up as cloud computing and software-as-a-service (SaaS) picks up.
In the area of IT infrastructure, Citrix Systems, Virtual Iron Software, VMware, and Oracle are well-established competitors in virtualization technology. With its SQL Server, Microsoft competes against IBM and Oracle (by one measure, Microsoft has passed Oracle in database sales), and way off in the distance, competes against open-source database such as MySQL and PostgreSQL. Many vendors compete against Microsoft in creating the architectural style SOA, including BEA Systems, IBM, Oracle, Red Hat, and Sun. In fact, SOA is associated more with Java and Linux than with Microsoft products. Java competes against Microsoft's ActiveX and .NET technologies.
In every category of business and enterprise management systems, Microsoft has competitors. In BI, Microsoft comes in forth according to IDC behind Business Objects, SAS, and Cognos.
Last, in entertainment, two heavyweight rivals of the Microsoft Xbox 360 are the Nintendo Wii console and the Sony Playstation.

SF Sketchfest Presents Halloween-Themed Cinematic Titanic: The Farewell Tour at Castro Theatre
The original cast behind Mystery Science Theater 3000, including creator Joel Hodgson, have been touring their newest live riffing show Cinematic Titanic and will be making a stop at The Castro Theatre on October 19 for a full night of Halloween filled roasting.
Starting things off in the afternoon is a Monster Squad 25th Anniversary Screening, a film about Dracula rounding up all of cinema's famed monsters to take over the world, only to be challenged by a group of kids. Director Frank Dekker, who also co-wrote the script with Shane Black (Iron Man 3, Lethal Weapon), will be in attendance following the screening along with cast members Andre Gower (Sean), Ryan Lambert (Rudy), and Ashley Bank (Phoebe).
Cinematic Titanic kicks off at 7pm with a double feature. Creator Joel Hodgson has brought back much of his original Mystery Science Theater 3000 cast for the show including Trace Beaulieu, Frank Conliff, Mary Jo Pehl, and J. Elvis Weinstein. Special guest David "Gruber" Alan of Freaks and Geeks fame will also be in attendance.
First up is The Doll Squad, an uber low-budget flick from director, writer, editor, and producer Ted V. Mickels. The plot involves a CIA operative wrangling a bunch of sexy female agents to stop a madman from destroying the world with a rat-transmitted plague virus.
Following that is The Astral Factor, aka The Invisible Strangler, at 9:30 pm. This 1976 bomb tells the tale if a prison inmate who figures out how to become invisible, escapes and hunts down the women who testified against him in court, all while a police lieutenant attempts to hunt him down.
Promising to be light on screams but heavy on laughter, this is a great alternative to most Halloween-themed movie nights. It'll also be your last chance to catch Cinematic Titanic in San Francisco before the show is retired. Make sure to head over to SF Sketchfest's website for tickets because it will definitely be a packed house.

Acts 17:22-31
Paul stood in front of the Areopagus in Athens. "Listen up, Athenians. I see how extremely religious you are. For as I went through the city and looked carefully at the objects of your worship, I found among them an altar with the inscription, 'To an unknown god.' What you worship as unknown, I will proclaim to you."
* * *
Ten or so years ago a ninth grade girl showed up for my confirmation class and with hands on hips announced: I shouldn't be here. I don't believe in God.
That's great, I said. Tell me about this god you don't believe in.
And she did.
I don't believe God is some old man with a beard sitting above the clouds on a throne showing mercy to some people and sending the rest to hell.
Good for you, I said. I don't believe in that god either. And if that's God, I'm proud to be an atheist with you. She sat down and finished the 10-week course.
Last Sunday I invited you to put on your "thinking caps" for a graduate level sermon. You'll need it again for this one.
Ready? Here goes.
Everybody talks about God but nobody knows what they're talking about. God by whatever name is the great unknown. A god you can define is no god by definition.
Theology is the study of God. Good luck with that.
Geology studies the earth. The earth can be touched. Zoology studies animals. Animals can be caged. Meteorology studies weather. Weather can be measured.
Theology studies God. God cannot be touched, caged or measured. And yet theology was once called the "queen of the sciences"—when "science" only meant knowledge.
Theology is not science, as we know it today. Whatever God is or isn't, God can't be known through the scientific method. Science depends on measureable evidence. There is no hard, conclusive evidence for God. Only clues.
But clues count. It's how we know we are loved.
Science is one way of knowing. It's not the only way.
For example, we know another person not by scientific investigation but by revelation. The other is not an object to be studied; but a subject to be discovered. Love is found in vulnerability. We know our friends and lovers—not by detached observation—but only as they reveal themselves to us.
And that rescues theology.
Theologians see clues of something greater than the sum of all the parts in the material world. Something we can't put our fingers on. Something that seems more like a person than a thing. Something revealed in dreams, art, music, literature, and mystical moments that defy rational explanation.
It sure seems that the universe and this material world are more than the sum of the parts just as a person is more than the sum of biological parts. We can't quite say what that is. We just know.
We call it soul or spirit or mind. We have names for it just as we have names for gods. But what are we naming with such names?
Psychology is the study of the mind. That puts it in the same boat with theology—clues but no evidence.
Neurology studies the brain and touches nerve tissues. But nerve tissues are not the mind or the soul.
Psychology and theology are in the same boat. And so we talk about the mind and God even though we're beating around the bush half the time.
And speaking of beating around the bush, our tradition's most definitive clue about God came from a bush.
Once upon a time, long, long ago—as the story goes in Exodus chapter three—Moses was living in exile, tending sheep in a high desert country. For 40 years the "god question" haunted Moses. At that time every tribe and peoples had names for countless gods along with rituals to please and appease them. Inventing names was an attempt to manage these mysterious powers.
Moses was raised as the adopted son of Pharaoh. During the day he learned about the gods of Egypt, the gods that sustained the royal class and kept the poor in bondage. The "divine right of kings" went unchallenged.
At night, Moses learned the sacred stories of his ancestors from his mother, a slave. His mother told him about a different sort of god, a pesky god, a god without form, walking on the wild side, not subject to definitions.
Moses was torn between the daytime and nighttime stories. Did he belong to the oppressors or the oppressed? What power ruled this world? Were the gods on the side of the rulers or the side of the ruled? And, by the way, whose side was he, Moses, on?
And then something happened. Moses saw a bush burst into flame but it didn't burn up. It just kept burning and burning like the fire in his heart, a raging passion to liberate his people from bondage. He crept near the flame and it spoke.
Take off your shoes, Moses. This is holy ground.
Was that voice outside of him or was it inside?
I hear the cries of my people in Egypt. Go down, Moses. Go down and tell ole Pharaoh to let my people go.
I can't do that? I'm nobody. Was Moses arguing with himself? What if Pharaoh asks for the name of the god I represent? What will I say?
The voice replied, I am who I am. I will be what I will be. Stand before Pharaoh and tell him to let my people go. And when he asks by what authority, you tell him: I am who I am.If you must have a name, that's my name. I AM.
And that name just happens to be the simple verb "to be."
So there you have it from our deep tradition, from our Great Ancestors—god as a verb, not a noun. God or whatever we may call the unknown mystery in this world and in our hearts, is nothing. Absolutely nothing. No Thing. God is being and becoming.
Make no graven images or fixed verbal definitions. Leave it alone. Let it be. I AM.
Jesus was born of that tradition. Before Abraham was, I am, he said. I am the light of the world. I am the bread of life. I am the vine. I am the door. I am the Good Shepherd. I am the way, the truth and the life. I am in you as you are in me. We are one. Those who abide in love abide in God.
Which means, the only Lord and Savior of our lives is love.
And that brings us to the lesson for today. The apostle Paul was peripatetic. He got around. Like Moses he once seethed with anger. And then something happened.
Paul was knocked over by the voice of Jesus whom he had never met. In that mystical moment he discovered the Beloved—not Jesus of Nazareth so much but rather "the cosmic Christ" in whom all things, all creatures, all peoples and nations are loved as one family. After that moment Paul went about spreading the good news of amazing grace and endless love.
One day he happened into Athens and saw multiple statues depicting multiple gods. One statue was labeled: "To the unknown god." Just in case one had been overlooked.
Listen up, Paul cried out. I can tell you something about your unknown god.
Paul didn't recite his sacred scriptures. He cited their own poet who had written: "There is one in whom we live and move and have our being." That's it, cried Paul, whether you know it or not. The "unknown god" is the one in whom we live and move and have our being. And that makes all of us one family whether we know it or not.
Gentile and Jew. Man and woman. Slave and free. All are one. For the God of all being is love. Those who abide in love abide in God no matter the name or no name at all.
So say it once and say it often: I am. I am love and loving is how I come to be.
The unknown God is only known through love.

These days, brands have to be on social media. There are so many social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, that social media analysis becomes a nightmare if you just use the analytics each one offers. Granted, you should concentrate on where your target audience hangs out. You don't want to spread yourself too thin, but then you won't see what's happening on platforms you don't use but where people are talking about your brand. Most people have five to six social media accounts and even if they only regularly use half of them, it is a lot for a brand with a small marketing department to cover without help.
Social Listening
Social media marketing is only effective if you listen before you speak. You need to know what your target audience is saying about your brand in order to craft an effective social media campaign. You also have to know what they care about. If the majority of your customers and your target audience care about ethically-sourced products, consider using ethically-sourced materials in your manufacturing process. You could base a whole social media campaign around your decision.
Sentiment Analysis
You'll need a social media analysis solution like NetBase, which incorporates natural language processing. NetBase not only tells you what people are saying; you'll learn about their lever of passion behind their posts. You can even learn what is being said about your competitors. NetBase lets you uncover opportunities to gain your competitor's dissatisfied customers and gain inspiration from competitor's campaigns that engage consumers.
Discover Your Successful Channels
Unless you have unlimited resources for social media marketing, you'll want to find out where your customers are so you can focus the social media channels where you will have the most impact. Use social media analysis and analytics to discover each channel's effectiveness so you can estimate your return on your investment.
Find Your Most Engaging Content
Discover what type of content works best for your brand. Some audiences will enjoy videos, others are more interested in studies. You have to learn what attracts, engages and most importantly, what converts. If your content doesn't capture your target audience's attention, you can see what type of content your competitor creates which is getting people talking.
Watch For Your Brand's Logo
Use NetBase's image analytics as part of your social media analysis for your content. It has the highest precision; NetBase's Next Generation AI Image Analytics can spot your brand's logo, even if it is modified. You can learn the emotions behind the images as well. Mentions of your brand with your brand's image can either be positive or negative. It's imperative to know which it is; you can base campaigns on the positive and fix the problem causing the negatives.
Use social media analysis to improve your campaigns. You can have lots of likes and shares, but your activities have to impact your bottom line. Don't depend on Facebook or Twitter's vanity metrics. Use NetBase's results to get the whole picture.

12 Lessons to Learn from Kunduz AttackIRIA Exclusive - 16 October 2015
On Sept. 28, Taliban forces swiftly captured the provincial capital, Kunduz city and managed to hold the city for three days. A major cause of the capture was the unpreparedness of Afghan forces, who mostly fled the provincial capital as the Taliban were moving close to the city.
According to some experts the local population prefers Taliban over provincial or federal government. Although majority of Afghans are not in the favor of harsh Taliban rule, but many locals are fed up with paying bribes to the judges, corrupt state-run courts and warlords, therefore they often turn to Taliban for justice. The level of discontent is also one factor that contributed to the Taliban's biggest military victory since U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.
Some regional connoisseurs and Afghan affairs specialists are upset but not shocked by Taliban short-lived take-over of Kunduz and consider the action as a warning not only for Afghanistan, Pakistan but also other regional countries.
Taliban insiders now concede that local commanders were "encouraged" by embedded sources to move towards Kunduz apparently to convince Afghan and foreign powers that Taliban cannot and should not be ignored.
Pakistan's renowned liberal journalist, Hamid Mir, known for his opposition to Pakistani military establishment claimed in his twitter message that the man who commanded Afghan Taliban to capture Kunduz was no other than Mullah Abdul Salam Akhund who was arrested by Pakistan in 2010 but was released repeated requests to Pakistan by former Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
While waiting for full investigation report and causes for the Kunduz debacle, the aftermath of Kunduz scenario can be summarized as twelve important lessons that should be learned by Afghans.
1. Few hundred Taliban are capable to over-run even a Northern provincial capital once considered as the most secured and fortified by the NATO; More than 7,000 Afghan Police, security forces and private militiamen were unable to counter 300 Taliban and their supporters;
2. The absence of public reaction to Taliban's brief take-over of Kunduz proved that people of Afghanistan are fed with war and government negligence and are ready to reconcile with anyone who can restore peace and stability;The absence of public reaction to Taliban's brief take-over of Kunduz proved that people of Afghanistan are fed with war and government negligence and are ready to reconcile with anyone who can restore peace and stability;
3. In the backdrop of rising corruption and mismanagement Taliban is not only gaining some support and sympathies in Pashtun majority provinces of Afghanistan but also in non-Pashtun areas; (After Kuduz capture several Tajik local commanders emerged to claim representing Taliban).
4. South and southeastern provinces of Afghanistan with Pashtun majority can also briefly fall into Taliban hands if non-Pashtun brutal militia and corrupt warlords backed by Provincial Committees are allowed to handle situation in those areas, and central government fails to establish its own writ.
6. Continued internal struggle between different power mainstays and a fragile Government can easily put any Afghan city vulnerable to Taliban onslaught, short-lived it may be;
7. Security in Afghanistan cannot be out-sourced to narcotic mafia leaders, warlords and contractors aiming to earn money from all sides and open to bargain with anyone but a strong security establishment with full authority is necessary.
8. There is an urgent need to address the grievances of Pashtun majority of Afghanistan and Centre and provincial government cannot be run only through selected rather than truly elected tribal representatives in all provinces of Afghanistan.
9. All Afghan elements must be made to understand that sooner or later they must agree to an amicable and negotiated settlement is the only and final solution to end the crisis.
10. Foreign powers and all regional states must allow the Afghans to settle their own internal differences without any party seeking support from outside. If Taliban continue to call rival Afghans as 'Western, Iranian and Indian agents", their arch rivals would continue to accuse them (Taliban) as "Pakistani agents".
11. Afghan leaders must stop blame game against political rivals and comprehend that their widening differences, hatred against different ethnic population and refusal to accept the ground realities would only benefit those gaining out of chaos and disorder in the country.
12. Indiscriminate and misled bombings on MSF hospital in Kunduz not only halted US airstrikes against Taliban and left Afghan forces without air support, but could also incite more violence and justify more Taliban attacks in the future.

FIU STARS – Fall 2016 Highlights
FIU STARS is part of a national organization called STARS Computing Corps, whose purpose is to provide leadership, mentoring, and technical skills as a means to broaden participating in computing. This year's SCIS Outstanding Undergraduate Student Awards were presented to two STARS leaders: Matthew Womack was the IT winner, and Jahkell Lazarre was the CS winner.
STARS also conducts outreach programs for local K-12 schools. We are in our 3rd year of RISE UP 4 CS, providing twice-week webinars and monthly on-campus events to help high school students from underrepresented groups pass the AP CS A exam. Last year, 7 of the 8 HS students who completed our program scored a perfect 5 of 5 on the AP CS A exam. Our top performing HS student was awarded a quadcopter drone with VR capabilities in our end of term award ceremony. RISE UP 4 CS is run totally by STARS tutors and mentors, and was funded in the past by Google and is currently funded by Ultimate Software. A total of HS 40 students have enrolled for this year's RISE program.
A coding workshop outreach to 4th and 5th graders was conducted at Greynolds Elementary School last Spring by STARS members to introduce young students to the process of learning to solve problem solving, using logic, and understanding basic coding processes. Our goal was to entice these youngsters to consider computing as their focus for the future.
FIU STARS also provides high-quality peer tutors to CS and IT majors. Many of our tutors become Learning Assistants as well.

- Car Accidents
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Truck Accidents
- Personal Injuries
Bone fractures are a common occurrence, and occur at least once in a person's lifetime. Severity of the damage increases with age because children's bones are more flexible and less likely to break. Falls or other accidents that do not harm children can cause complete fractures in older adults. Older adults suffer from fractures more than children because their bones are more likely to be brittle. These instances occur when the bone is not capable of withstanding the physical force exerted on it.
To heal properly, a realignment procedure must take place. The most common realignment procedures are immobilization using a cast or splint and surgical procedures. When surgery is needed, the procedure is called an open reduction. The doctor will give you local or general anesthesia (general anesthesia will put you to sleep). During the surgical procedure, the doctor may insert a rod, pin, plate, or screw into the injury to hold the bone in place. Advantages of surgery include early mobility of the injured area and some use of the injured area within weeks rather than months.
After the realignment process, medication and rehabilitation will help the recovery process, and medication is used to lessen the pain. Rehabilitation prevents stiffness and involves light movement of the tissues surrounding the affected area. It helps increase blood flow, which will aid in the healing process.
If the fracture is closed repaired, the bone may not heal properly or it may not function properly. If the fracture is open repaired then infection, bleeding, damage to blood vessels or nerves, and allergic reactions to the anesthesia may occur.
The seriousness of the injury depends on the age of the individual and location of the incident. Some only require temporary protection such as crutches or a splint. Other, more serious injuries may require surgery.
It is important to know what to do to protect the legal rights of yourself and your loved ones. Selecting the right attorney is an important decision. Sacramento personal injury lawyer Frank D. Penney has successfully handled thousands of injury cases. Contact Frank Penney for a free bone injury case consultation.

Hawaii Missile Alert
Political Cartoonist Daryl Cagle inks this cartoon to tightly align the visual and verbal ideas in this cartoon with popular leftist-activist talking points perpetuated by popular legacy media propaganda.
Leftists and the legacy media will say anything, do anything, write anything, produce anything to minimize and diminish and slander and otherwise taint Donald J Trump (or anything politically conservative/individualistic) in an effort to gaslight you to doubt your own thoughts. With Donald J Trump centered attacks, they make it appear he has unjustly did not win the Presidency setting up in your mind that he is incompetent to remain President of the United States. With attacks on individuality/conservatism they make the case that what is being focused upon is unreasonable and gives no feeling of fairness or equality.
Propaganda is a tool used by those to seed thoughts into the minds of others. The seeding is subtle and seemingly insignificant. What makes it dangerous is when a single seed of propaganda is combined with like seeds across many media sources (classrooms, web pages, newspaper, broadcast TV, cable TV, movies, magazine articles, celebrity speak, etc) that eventually, the seeds take root into the targeted minds to sway their belief.
This is how propaganda can form a culture to think specific thoughts. By saturating what they hear and see with the approved narrative and dominating what they see so that there is no opposing voice, eventually it is a choice in the minds being seeded there is no alternative.

Turkish Shepherd Dog
Apart from the standardized and distinct breeds found under the Turkish Shepherd Dog "umbrella", such as the Kangal and Akbash, there isn't really a clearly defined and set breed type for sheepdogs of Turkey. Depending on the individual dog's heritage, it can have the physical build of a Yoruk Dog and the colouring of the Kangal, or the coat length of a Kars Dog with the body of a Gammal and colour of an Akbash and so on. While varying in type, the Turkish sheepdogs are all bred for work, with the dogs' agility, courage and health as primary guidelines. And taking into consideration that a pure Kangal or an Akbash aren't as affordable as a common village dog, it isn't surprising that the Turkish Shepherd Dog is the most common worker in its homeland. Usually overlooked and under-appreciated by the majority of Kangal fanciers, the Davar Iti is a very capable protector of livestock and property, prized for its intelligence and drive by the peasants and herdsmen of Turkey. However, as there isn't a set type in terms of appearance, there is also a considerable lack of uniformity in personality traits within the entire population of these rugged sheepdogs. Some dogs are docile and friendly, some are aloof and suspicious, while others are quite vicious and difficult to handle. Those examples that fail to prove themselves as reliable herders and protectors are oftentimes assigned the role of a yard watchdog, usually left tied up their entire life. The dogs that aren't territorial or driven enough for that job are usually let loose in many villages to become common street dogs, collectively known under the name Sokak Kopegi. Matings between these street dogs and other breeds are common, sometimes resulting in good working dogs, which are often re-introduced into the bloodlines of Turkish Shepherds, creating an even greater variety within its population.
Regardless of type, the majority of Turkish Shepherd Dogs are muscular, lean and athletic, with fairly long legs and strongly-boned bodies. In general, the facial features are either lupoid or only slightly heavier, rarely belonging to the pure mastiff head-type as associated with the Kangal, although massive dogs can be seen on occasion. Some specimens have cropped ears and docked tails, but most dogs are left unaltered.
A wide range of coat types and colourings can be seen within the group, although there is a certain degree of uniformity associated with specific regions of the country, where the dogs are bred with some appearance expectations in mind, but only as a secondary requirement to character, courage and working ability. The height can vary significantly depending on the area, from dogs that are 25 inches tall to those specimens that exceed the height of 32 inches at the withers.

For most of my projects I'm using the distributed revision control system darcs. I particularly like how easy and streamlined it is. Creating repositories, branches or pushing single patches around is just a matter of a few minutes in learning time. Another nice feature is, that you can commit only parts of the changes in a single file; darcs will just ask you about each change. Choosing the changes one wants to record on the command line can be a tedious process though. This is why I wrote us an internal tool called "Darkside" which allows us to easily pick all changes using a straightforward dialog. The following screenshot shows the "Patch Recorder" tool of Darkside. An editor pane below the change-tree shows which lines were removed (red) and which were added (green). Darkside is written in LispWorks using CAPI.
The next screenshot shows the second tab-pane of the interface. Here one can write the log-message for the current record. I extended darcs' notion of a patch name a little bit by providing a combo-box with certain tags like "Feature", "Change", "Bugfix" and so on. The selected tag gets enclosed in brackets and then prepended before the patch-name. This is actually just a convention we developed using darcs. The list-pane below the log-editor shows other patches which have been recorded before. It is possible to double-click those lines to paste the log-text of this patch into the log-editor.
CL-Darcs: A Common Lisp Implementation
The original darcs (which is used in Darkside too) is written in Haskell, a statically typed functional programming language. The installation is simple: just copy the executable somewhere into your path. Wouldn't it be nice to have an implementation of darcs in common lisp? Well, we have luck! Thanks to Magnus Henoch's cl-darcs there is already a common lisp library which aims to be compatible with the original darcs implementation. The code is nicely structured and good readable. One really missing thing for a cl-darcs to ensure compatibility to the original darcs is an extensive test-suite. But Magnus implements the command-line interface of darcs on top of the common lisp API so that one can use the official darcs test suite. I think cl-darcs is a very promising project.

Once installed, its seamless integration with your site gives the appearance of a job done by a professional web developer and a team of certified translators. What customers and competitors won't realize is that the whole process took less than ten clicks of a button, and zero understanding of any language besides your native tongue.

But don't let the ease of use fool you – this plugin is far superior to anything else on the web. Unlike JavaScript based solutions, Weglot offers a solid technical solution, that is SEO optimized for your translated versions and is available on a tiered a budget that is bound to suit the allowances of anyone be it a novice website hoster or a multi-national conglomerate.
Returning again to the easy installation process, it's this fundamental characteristic of the plugin that has led to its exponential growth and widespread use. From installation to launch, the app takes your single language site and turns it into a multilingual powerhouse understood by people speaking over 60 unique languages.

3. Choose your default language, the language that your content is currently written in, as well as the 'destination languages' that you wish to add to your site.
4. Next are the inbuilt styling options, which include the option to have the associated flags of each language either included or excluded.
For the tech savvy, there is even the option to override the plugin's default CSS and implement your own styling.
5. Click save, and voila – your website is now multilingual.
The plugins translations are machine-based and hence while excellent, not entirely perfect. To solve this, Weglot allows all users the ability to manually override the generated translations for further customization. This is made easy via the functional and easy to navigate Weglot dashboard.

If you still aren't convinced of the awesome power of this WordPress plugin, Weglot offers potential customers a 10-day free trial, to give you the chance to test out its functionality. While the free trial is limited to less than 2,000 words, and one additional language, it is more than sufficient to convince even the biggest skeptic of the capabilities of automated translation.

This combination, fused with their brilliant software, makes the Weglot Translation Plugin the go-to for language translation on WordPress.

Sixers-Celtics deal for Markelle Fultz will be finalized Tuesday (AEDT)
Sorry Celtics fans, it looks like Markelle Fultz is headed to Philadelphia.
MORE: Joel Embiid very confident in Sixers getting Markelle Fultz
According to multiple reports, the rumored blockbuster draft deal will be finalized (Tuesday) resulting in the Sixers owning the top spot in Friday's draft.
Trade between Philly and Boston will be finalized on Monday, per source. Sides have agreed. Sixers will get first pick and take Fultz.— David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) June 18, 2017
Per The Vertical, the Sixers will have to give up the No. 3 overall pick, their No. 1 pick in 2018 (via Lakers), and a first-round pick in 2019 (via Kings) to the Celtics for the No. 1 overall pick.
Fultz worked out with the Sixers on Sunday and even though he struggled shooting the ball from deep, there was apparently more than enough to convince the Sixers to trade up for him.
Sixers needed Fultz workout/meeting to complete deal w/ Celtics and, as expected, sides have deal for No. 1 pick. Trade call planned Monday.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojVerticalNBA) June 18, 2017
Fultz, a 6-4, 195-pound guard, averaged 23.2 points, 5.9 assists and 5.7 rebounds in his one-and-done season at Washington.

Ravens fans optimistic in 2015 as preseason begins
Team rallied for 30-27 win over Saints
For many fans, football officially returned to Baltimore at 5:30 p.m. Thursday when the gates opened to M&T Bank Stadium for the Ravens 2015 preseason opener against the New Orleans Saints.
The Ravens rallied to win, 30-27 on a touchdown run by third-string quarterback Bryn Renner. While the result was a positive one, most fans were just glad to see the team back on the field.
Fans had the chance to once again take in all of the traditional game day experiences from tailgating to listening to the marching band to rooting with the cheerleaders.
In many cases, the preseason represents the first game for a new generation of young fans like Colby Ambrose.
"I like the Ravens, so this is really cool," Ambrose said.
A new season also bring a sense of optimism and hope for Ravens fans and fans of all of the 32 teams in the NFL. Many fans at the game were ready to make bold predictions for the team.
Ravens fan Bill Grub believes his team has a chance to do something special in 2015.
"Hoping for a Super Bowl for Steve Smith," said Grub, referring to the wide receiver who will retire at the end of the season.
Another Ravens fan, Bill Raymond, is not as confident. Still, he believes the Ravens will be a contender.
"We aren't going to (the Super Bowl), but we're going to have a good year and that's all you can ask," Raymond said.
There were even some fans at the stadium who were decked out in Ray Rice jerseys. Ravens fan Lisa McClain said she hopes another team will give Rice a chance to revive his career. He has not played since he was cut by the Ravens and later suspended by the NFL after a video of him punching his then-fiancee was released.
"I think he deserves an opportunity to do better for himself," McClain said. "I don't want his name to end the way it did. He ought to retire as a player and not be remembered for his acts."

Treatment of Vesical Schistosomiasis with Stibophen
- (1) A total of 207 adult males, infected with Schistosoma haematobium but livingin a schistosome-free area, were treated with intramuscular injections of stibophen; 114 of these could be studied post-treatment for six months.
- (2) Five different treatment schedules were tested with total drug dosages ranging from 21 cc. to 40 cc., and administered over periods of three to twenty days.
- (3) Untoward reactions included anorexia, nausea, vomiting and a skin rash. Some patients also complained of weakness and generalized body pain. The severity and frequency of untoward reactions was positively correlated with the size and frequency of the individual doses, but not necessarily with total drug dosage.
- (4) Cure rates, based on the clearance of all schistosome eggs from the urine by the sixth month post-treatment, ranged from 50 to 79 per cent. With adequate total dosage, the more intensive treatment regimes gave the higher cure rates.
- (5) Concentrated treatment was followed by earlier relapse as shown by the re-appearance of living eggs, but degenerate eggs may also indicate unsuccessful treatment after an extended course with low dosages.

Former Power and Energy Minister and Technology and Research Minister Paatali Champika Ranawaka says that there is a huge flaw in the Saampoor Thermal Power Plant Agreement.
The Minister said so while participating at an experts' forum in Colombo yesterday entitled 'poisonous food leading to a silent death'.
On this occasion the Minister pointed out further that the country's electricity consumers are at a loss as a result of this agreement.
The project is estimated to cost about $500 million (`3,000 crore), with NTPC and Ceylon Electricity Board having 50% stake each. It would be funded with a debt equity ratio of 70:30.
The plant would use imported coal and consists of a transmission line, to be built from Trincomalee to Madurai, including 39 km of submarine cable.

221B Baker Street [STUD]
03rd July, 3 Comments
By John Watson
I have now managed to arrange and inspect some new quarters for myself. They consist of a couple of comfortable bedrooms and a single large airy sitting-room, cheerfully furnished, and illuminated by two broad windows. If I told you that these are, in fact the very rooms that Holmes and I occupied I doubt that you would believe me for 221B Baker Street is, of course, not the actual address. As many have since pointed out, no such address existed at the time Holmes and I lived there. Baker Street (see map below), in the Marylebone district of north west London had, at the time, numbers 1 to 42 on the east side of the street, running from south to north, and numbers 44 to 85 on the west going south. There was no number 43 and no number 221. Its southern continuation, Orchard Street extended to Oxford Street. To the north it bore the names York Place and then Upper Baker Street before it reached Regent's Park. [If you click on the map you may find the enlarged version easier to read.] In 1930, the entire length of the street (the lower part of Baker Street, York Place and Upper Baker Street) was renamed Baker Street and the houses were renumbered. Number 41 Upper Baker Street was redesignated 221 Baker Street but in the same year it was demolished to make way for Abbey House which eventually occupied 215-229 Baker Street, serving as the offices of the Abbey National Building Society. Almost immediately, the building society started receiving correspondence for Holmes from all over the world, in such volumes that it appointed a permanent "secretary to Sherlock Holmes" to deal with it. A bronze plaque on the front of Abbey House carried a picture of Holmes and a quotation, but was removed from the building several years ago. Its present whereabouts are unknown. There is, however, now such an address as 221B Baker Street, recognised even by the Post Office with a postcode! 221B Baker Street is now the address of the Sherlock Holmes Museum (the full address is 221B Baker Street, LONDON NW1 6XE though this is actually 239 Baker Street!)
But if you read The Empty House carefully and follow Holmes directions to Manchester Street and Blandford Street it should become clear to you that our house was much lower down on Baker Street than most people imagine.

i love this site.
i am detective too.
just like sherlock holmes.
In my view, there is no-one quite like Holmes but that does not mean you cannot be a successful detective.
My very best wishes in all your endeavours.

has used 187 North Gower Street to represent 221B Baker Street for shooting the exterior scenes of Sherlock Holmes' flat. The location is near Euston railway station, and roughly a mile away from the real Baker Street.

The National Cleaner Production Centre of South Africa (NCPC-SA) is assisting industrial manufacturing companies – such as foundries – to develop and implement energy management systems (EnMS) in line with ISO 50001 through its EnMS training programme.
This programme presents a methodological and organised approach to managing energy perfomance, based on the SANS/ISO 50001 standard and is aimed at individuals who are responsible for developing and implementing EnMS in their companies.
NCPC-SA explains that the implementation of an EnMS can be facilitated internally under the mentorship and guidance of NCPC-SA-appointed EnMS certified experts or, alternatively, the process can be sped up by having an externally certified EnMS expert.
"Once an EnMS has been successfully implemented, it becomes a part of how a company runs its business," NCPC-SA energy efficiency and renewable energy project manager, expert, trainer and adviser Faith Mkhacwa explains, adding that EnMS is not a 'one-off' project, but rather a system that is continuously implemented on site.
Typically run over between nine and 12 months, the EnMS training programme offers two courses, namely the end-user course and the expert course.
The end-user course equips trainees with the knowledge, understanding and tools that will enable them to initiate the development and implementation of an EnMS that is aligned with ISO 50001.
The expert course equips delegates with the necessary knowledge, skills and tools to support the adoption and implementation of an EnMS in their company.
"Delegates gain practical experience in implementing and reviewing an EnMS, as well as being able to report on its performance," NCPC-SA explains.
Mogale Alloys Case Study
The pivotal role an EnMS can perform for a business is demonstrated in the case of alloy producer Mogale Alloys, which with assistance from NCPC-SA, embarked on an EnMS implementation programme in 2012.
Mkhacwa says that the alloy industry is very energy intensive, with Mogale Alloys using Eskom-generated electricity as it primary source, and its own-generated natural gas- and diesel-fired power.
She explains that the biggest consumers of energy at Mogale are the furnaces – which produce silico manganese, plasma ferrochrome, charge ferrochrome and stainless steel alloy – with a total production capacity of 110 000 t yearly and which account for 79% of the total energy consumption.
In addition 20% of consumption is associated with motors and motorized systems, including pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors and a marginal 1% for lighting and small power usage.
When Mogale's EnMS programme began in 2012, Mkhacwa says: "Mogale Alloys had been part of the Eskom Buyback Programme and furnaces 1 and 2 were the only operational furnaces and hence had resource capacity. The company's consumption was also impacted by the agreement with Eskom to shut down power during peak periods. However, this subsequently changed when production picked up."
She explains that these factors had a 'skewing' effect on the energy baseline pattern for the company, which is important data needed for developing an EnMS.
To offset this challenge, baselines and energy balances were generated using data from 2012 as a more representative year and figures were determined for both total production energy consumption and auxiliary energy consumption.
"The intention of this was to enable visibility of auxiliary energy performance improvements which were otherwise overwhelmed by the large furnaces."
NCPC-SA says that after Mogale Alloys made an investment of R20-million, a saving of R22-million was achieved, with a payback period of less than one year.
Savings on gas of 8 300 GJ and 33 000 MWh on electricity were realized since the implementation of EnMS, which is based on production figures during 2015.
Greenhouse-gas emissions were also reduced by 31 581 t of carbon dioxide.
Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement Project
NCPC-SA's work at Mogale Alloys forms part of the Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement (IEEI) Project that NCPC-SA is implementing in South Africa in partnership with the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation.
"This project is designed to help transform industry energy use patterns – helping energy-intensive industries to adopt a more systematic and holistic approach to energy management within their organisations and plants," NCPC-SA adds.
Since the IEEI Project's inception in 2010, NCPC-SA states that it has assisted industries to save over R1.54-billion in energy savings without hindering productivity.
NCPC-SA notes that this was achieved through the promotion and implementation of EnMS and Energy Systems Optimisation in 45 different plants in energy-intensive sectors.
Since 2010, overall implementation has resulted in energy savings of 571 GWh which – when converted to current energy prices – translates to a financial saving of R344-million.

These scrumptious layered raspberry bars bake to perfection with layers of buttery brown sugar and oat crust and coconut. It's an easy recipe to prepare, and the results are amazing. If you make these bars for a party, take along several batches of the recipe.
The bars call for seedless raspberry jam, but strawberry jam or preserves would be delicious as well. Feel free to add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping for extra crunch.
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 2 1/2 cups / 11 1/2 ounces cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, well beaten
- 1 cup seedless raspberry jam (or raspberry preserves)
- 1 cup (packed) sweetened flaked coconut
Steps to Make It
Preheat the oven to 350 F / 180 C / Gas 4. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or spray it with nonstick baking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, flour, granulated and brown sugar, oats, and beaten egg. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, just until the mixture is blended but still somewhat crumbly.
Reserve 2 cups of the crumb mixture and set aside. Pat the remaining crumb mixture over the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Spoon the raspberry jam evenly over the crumb layer. Spread the jam to cover, to within 1/2-inch of the edges.
Sprinkle the flaked coconut evenly over the jam layer.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the coconut layer.
Bake the raspberry bars for about 45 minutes, or until the crumb topping has browned lightly.
Cool completely before cutting into squares.

The dollar fell on Friday and was set for its steepest weekly slide against a basket of major currencies in two months, as record high oil prices left the U.S. economy vulnerable to slower growth and rising inflation.
The euro , by contrast, remained on a solid footing despite data showing tepid growth in the euro zone's services and manufacturing sectors. Analysts said that despite the slowdown, the economy was robust enough to allow the European Central Bank to focus on restraining price pressures.
"We had a massive shift generally in the past couple of weeks and the market now sees the ECB hiking rates," said Marcus Hettinger, FX strategist at Credit Suisse in Zurich.
"Consumers in the U.S. are already under stress from housing, and now...we have rising oil prices. Basically it means interest rates will remain low in the U.S. despite rising inflation...and that's one of the reason why the dollar will remain weak," Hettinger said.
Against a basket of six major currencies, the dollar was down 1.2 percent on the week. If that holds, it would be its biggest weekly decline since late March.
The euro was up 0.3 percent at $1.5780 , off a one-month high of $1.5814 touched on Thursday. On the week, it rose 1.2 percent, the most since March. The dollar fell 0.8 percent to 103.20 yen .
Volume on Friday was light, with both the United States and Britain heading into long holiday weekends. A report showing sales of existing U.S. homes last month were slightly higher than expected offered little lasting dollar support, as the data showed the lowest April sales total since April 2000.
Earlier this week, the Federal Reserve said the slumping U.S. housing market likely had further to fall and also downgraded its 2008 U.S. economic growth outlook.
But with oil prices surging above $135 this week, markets have all but priced out the chances of another Fed rate cut this year, though a rate increase may be a tough sell at a time when U.S. growth is slowing.
"For the moment, the focus is on the stagflationary influences of oil, which is prone to play moderately negative for the dollar," said Alan Ruskin, chief international strategist at RBS Greenwich Capital in Greenwich, Connecticut. He said the euro could push above $1.60 in the third quarter.
Meanwhile, a flurry of strong data on inflation and business sentiment from the euro zone has left markets thinking the European Central Bank's next move may be an interest rate hike, and that's tilted sentiment in favor of the euro.
Lower-than-expected euro zone manufacturing and services data "confirm that the underlying growth trend in the euro zone economy is firmly down and that growth in the second quarter indeed will be less flattering," ING said in a note.
"However, the activity data are not yet weak enough to dilute the ECB's concerns about the medium-term inflation outlook, which is the primary factor driving its monetary policy decisions."
The low-yielding yen was a strong performer heading into the long weekend, with the euro down 0.5 percent at 162.82 yen.
Although Japan is vulnerable to higher oil costs, the impact on global growth also sparked risk-averse investors to unwind risky trades funded with cheaply borrowed yen. Nominal Japanese interest rates stand at just 0.5 percent, the lowest in the developed world.
U.S. and UK holidays on Monday also encouraged investors to scale back on risk heading into the long weekend, boosting the yen and low-yielding Swiss franc.
