Hi, this is Taylor Surh with Certinia. Today, I'm going to be showing you our Professional Services Automation tool as well as our accounting tool for our SRP small group demo.
So, we'll start our discussion with our PSA overview dashboard. This dashboard is powered by Tableau CRM, which is a BI tool developed by Salesforce for analyzing your data.
So, we're logged in as our Services Executive, and they can quickly see all their essential KPIs on one single page of view. We can track items such as billings, backlog, utilization, and more. And all these metrics are drillable. So, if I wanted to drill into our backlog information, I can simply click "view details" down below, and you'll get a break out of that component of the dashboard.
You can also interact with the data utilizing filtering capabilities on the right. Here, we can really start to understand where our backlog is being caused. We can toggle between different regions and practices and groups, as well as track backlog by accounts and individual projects.
So, now let's toggle over to our homepage. So, when you log into Certinia, you'll also be logging into Salesforce, like you do today. You'll see, I'm logging right into our force.com platform, and we're using a single sign-on. We're logged into that same platform that you use for your Salesforce instance. So, this means that if you're using Salesforce today, you will be able to take your existing Salesforce environment and simply expand the functionality from a services and financial perspective. So, this allows us to utilize all of Salesforce's functionalities – such as opportunities, accounts and contacts – and then connect additional data – such as your resources, projects, invoices, revenue recognition, and financial statements – to truly connect your front and back office.
Certinia is also a toggle application. Meaning that all the applications can be accessed through our app launcher. You could have applications from different processes, business departments and even create your own personal applications.
It's important to note that all of these dashboards and homepages are all easily configurable, and you can add new widgets, modify the look and feel, so you only see the information that's important to you as long as you have the permission sets to do so.
We hear from many executives that they need visibility into all aspects of their services organization. One of the biggest challenges they face today is getting accurate and timely information. Information is usually stored in many different places, and in order to get insights into your organization, information must be gathered from many sources or different individuals. But with Certinia PSA, executives can log into our system and be brought to their homepage where they have access to everything they need. We can even have embedded analytics and important KPIs, so, in real time, executives can track information such as backlog, utilization, forecast, or demand and capacity planning, all trending over time.
Since Certinia is native to that Salesforce platform, you can see sales info like accounts, contacts and opportunity data. It also accesses all of your active project information, including the health of projects, planned hours versus actual hours, the types of projects, and any other additional details you wish to expose.
The navigation within Certinia is also very easy. We provide quick links to different areas of our applications so you can quickly access items like your analytics, resourcing information, time and expense entry, and so forth.
From here, our executive can stay on top of key deals in the pipeline closing this month, and we can even drill directly into an opportunity. They recall from a recent sales leadership meeting that the United Partners HR Implementation opportunity was a pretty big deal to the company, and it's imperative that the implementation goes well. So, if we wanted to drill into this opportunity, we can usually check the status directly from this opportunity page. We noticed that, on this opportunity, it was supposed to close at the beginning of the month. So, we need to follow up with the delivery manager: Dan Delivery. We can do this utilizing the Chatter functionality. So, instead of setting up an email, we can easily just follow up with Dan, our delivery manager, by sending them a message via the chat box with Chatter.
Here, we can collaborate with any of your team members on any records – such as an opportunity, or project – similar to a social media feed. It also maintains a history so that you can always refer back to it as needed. You can simply tag any individual and leave them a little message.
Now that we've sent off this message to our delivery manager, we can now go into the next step of our journey. So, we've switched over personas now to Dan, our delivery manager. Typically, someone in Services gets involved at a certain stage to start forecasting resources. Soft booking resources, or even help with project creation.
Dan is our delivery manager, and he is focused on the sales to services handoff. So, let's take a look at PSA through Dan's lens. When Dan logs in and he sees that he gets that notification from that message from our CFO, but we can easily drill into that for additional details. To help with this process, Dan can look at his capacity and demand planning analytics dashboard. Just like we saw before, we can simply click into the detailed summary, and he can get a quick summary of the capacity across all of his resources and also drill into the details. This is where Dan goes to understand availability or demand by role based on active projects and opportunities in the pipeline.
So, if we scroll down, Dan can also see the individual availability to help ensure that his resources are not over or underutilized. So, if we can navigate over to that opportunity, we can go right into that same page we were just looking at with our executive. You'll notice that on this opportunity page, we can create resource requests directly from this record. Dan can review that the resource requests are still accurate, which not only gives him early visibility into upcoming resource demand, but also gives visibility into the expected revenue margin. Which we can access from the details down below.
So, in here, you can get a check in on the projected revenue and margin for this project to ensure that we are still within our target margin range for this opportunity. These are the things that the PSA Application asked the Salesforce opportunity out of the box, which makes it much easier, in terms of scoping resources and seeing the immediate impact on project revenue margin.
While Dan is validating these details, you just learned that the United Partners SOW has been signed, and a project needs to get created. So, when the opportunity moves to closed won, we can completely automate that process for project creation. So, we can move this to closed won and when we do so, what's going to happen is the project is automatically going to get created, which we can reference directly from the opportunity as well.
So, now that this project is created, the resource manager and project manager automatically receive notifications that a newly created project needs their attention. So, let's switch over personas now over to our resource manager Rachel.
So, now that Dan has created the delivery project for our research manager, Rachel can now begin staffing the resource requests. So, let's take a look at some of the tools Rachel uses to do this as well as how she can use PSA to proactively stay on top of typical resourcing challenges.
So, Rachel starts her day in her resources management workspace. Here, she sees alerts and other important items so she can focus on things requiring her immediate attention. She can easily see all of her open and held resource requests, and also go right into any of these requests by clicking into it itself.
So, a common challenge for resource managers is finding resources who most closely match the criteria of a resource request. Certinia uses Intelligent Staffing and reduces the time and manual efforts involved in finding suitable resources. The system looks at your pool of resources and then determines the best fit based on several factors including role, availability, skills, rating, and location. We can see our resources in the middle with some additional filtering capabilities on the right. We can also include recommended resources. With these recommendations, it will further sort and rank all of your resources based on weightings. We can also compare resources between the available resources you see. We can easily find more information about specific individuals.
After she holds or assigns a resource, she is ready to move on to the next resource requests in her queue. We can also handle this utilizing our resource planner. Our resource planner can also be used to understand how booked resources are currently, what they are working on, and also uses it to proactively manage assignments. The resource plan provides visibility into the workload of all of your resources in one place. We offer color coding to help her focus her attention where it is most needed urgently.
Here, we can see all of our resources based on our availability, and there's a couple different colors: we can see there's green, that represents a resource that's fully booked; yellow being underutilized; red meaning overbooked; and no color indicating that the resource has no assigned work.
You can also expand a person to see what they're assigned to. So, we're looking at a certain resource. We can expand and see which projects that they're currently working on. We can see here that this analytics project is what's causing this over-allocation.
Within this resource planner, we can directly make edits to any of these hours, and we can update these hours allocated to a given day, week, or month. The nice thing about this is we can also create new assignments directly from this or, if needed, we can swap resources for people who might have a little more availability.
The resource plan is also completely searchable and filterable – which we can access here at the top left bar, which is especially important when you're dealing with a large number of resources. The commonly used filter sets can be also created to save time when searching for resources.
So, hopefully you can see how PSA enables our resource manager to find the right people at the right time. It provides the necessary insights into resource demand, capacity, utilization, and skills to help the resource managers quickly make decisions, as well as spot potential resourcing issues in the future.
So, now let's switch over personas once more, over to our project manager Pete.
So, now that the project has been created and the work has begun, someone has to stay on top of these things to make sure the project status and project financials stay on track. Pete is our project manager. With the visibility PSA provides into all aspects of the project, Pete is able to ensure he has the resources he needs, and that the project issues and risks are under control.
So, when Pete logs in, he starts his day with his project management workspace. This gives him visibility across all of his projects in one place, and helps them pinpoint items needing his immediate attention. So, for example, he can easily see that he has a project where actuals are exceeding budgets, along with his weekly timecard summary, and time entry widget we can see down below.
Part of Pete's job is approving multiple time cards, which we can access from this frequent task here on the left. Pete can easily see all the time cards he needs to approve in one place by accessing this link.
So, as we navigate to the bottom of the workspace, Pete then turns his attention to this United Partners project. So, if we click into this project, we'll be able to go right into all of the project details from the project page. So, here is everything he needs to manage the project, right within access. So, everything such as statuses, KPIs, notes and attachments, and the ability to collaborate and communicate through Chatter.
So, to help manage his projects and tasks, Pete also likes to use the Gantt Chart functionality. So when we select into this, our Gantt chart is very easy to use, and allows you to add or remove any additional columns based on how you prefer to work. It also has a robust filtering – which we can access from the top. This capability makes it easier for you to work with larger plans or just focus on specific tasks.
It's very easy to manage within the Gantt Chart as well. So, through the use of dependencies, if you have one task, for example, that feeds into another task, you can also make any updates accordingly. So, if I change a certain task out, depending on these dependencies, it will also make the subsequent necessary adjustments.
This is also where consultants will be able to be assigned to specific tasks. So if we go over, scroll to the right, we can also see these tasks might have an assigned resource – which we can also see down below – as well as the number of estimated hours for his given tasks, and any actuals that have been submitted. So, as the consultants start entering time, it will be tracked here as well, allowing you to track estimates versus actuals at the task level.
So, if we navigate back over to that project, on the right side of the workspace is our action container, where project managers have access to everything they need to keep the project on time and under budget. From here, we can assign new resources, and be able to manage things such as the project budgets, create new resource requests, or easily add on additional product tasks if new services are added, or even enter time.
Our PSA provides our project managers with powerful, easy-to-use tools to manage projects and work streams. Real time views and two key metrics help keep projects on track.
So, now that the consultants have been assigned to some tasks, it's time for them to start doing some of their work. So, let's switch over to our consultant and see how Tim, our consultant, utilizes PSA every day.
The services delivery workspace is really his command center for everything he needs to stay on top of and needs to do. Tim can keep his skills and certifications updated from those managed skills certifications. Tim is also able to view his assigned tasks, his standard list views, or if you like, utilizing a combined view – which we can access here as well. This particular view makes it really easy to update task status by doing simple drags and drops into these given buckets. So, if we go back over to that workspace, one of the other items Tim is also able to do is also be able to log his time. We can enter this directly from the workspace.
In addition to any of these time entry widgets, we also have mobile time and expense entry available through the standard Salesforce app, making it easy for consultants to capture this data as they are on the go. PSA's simple and intuitive interface combined with the mobile capability, makes it easy for Tim and other consultants to enter critical items, such as time and expense, accurately and on time. This helps improve the speed and accuracy of invoices and reduces revenue leakage.
So, now that this project is in progress and actuals have been logged against it, it's ready for us to start building and recognizing revenue. So, I have switched over to Colleen, our controller. Being the controller, she's in charge of all of the financials for our services organization.
In order to manage this, she utilizes the Services Billing workspace. So, on this page, we're able to keep track of all the projects that are ready to bill. We hear from a lot of our customers that they used to spend too much time trying to reconcile timesheets, expense reports, and spreadsheets in order to send customer invoices. It was really inefficient and really prone to errors. With Certinia PSA, our controller, Colleen, is able to see a list of all the projects that have timecards, milestones and expenses that are ready and eligible to be billed.
For each project or multiple projects, Colleen can generate billing in PSA, which creates a billing event, which is like a proforma invoice. From this, she can generate billing en masse – which saves a lot of time – or you can mainly generate billing at the account or project level.
I'm going to show you how you can generate billing for an individual project. So, if we click into one of these projects, we can go directly in from this project page, and navigate up to the top to start the project billing. From here, we can easily review all the elements that are ready to be billed. This could be for time entry, for expense reports, or even fixed-fee milestones.
From here, once we have it selected, we can simply just select "generate billing event," and from this billing event we can see everything we're gonna be billing for from the billing event items for this particular project. The billing event can also go through an approval process, which we can see here at the top, to ensure services have been reviewed to the billing event, prior to it being approved and released.
Once a billing event is released, which we can easily access from the top, it will automatically generate the sales invoice. We can also refer to any created sales invoices from all the billing events directly here as well. On this sales invoice that we have created, we can see all of the time cards have already been flowed through, and we can also see the invoice directly links to the account, the opportunity, and all the other details are being mapped over as well. Our invoice status is currently set to "complete," and that's because this invoice has already been posted. For invoices not posted, we can post the invoice by simply clicking the "post" button when available.
After posting, a transaction will get created. We can refer to that directly from the sales invoice. If we drill into that transaction, we can see all the debits and credits hitting our general ledger accounts. We can also print the invoices to PDF and email the invoices directly to our customers. We are looking at this process, or just a single invoice, but this process can also be done en masse as well. You can run a scheduler where the system can post, print, and email invoices all in one swoop. By having all this information connected together, it eliminates the manual efforts of wreaking in data, reducing errors, and preventing you from having to log into multiple systems. Certinia streams the process from project billing to invoice creation by keeping everything on one single platform, ultimately helping you collect cash faster.
So, now that the invoices have been sent out, we can utilize our Collections workspace to be our one-stop-shop for everything around collections. We can see here that, on this workspace, we have some key alerts such as overdue invoices or invoices put on hold. We have an embedded live AR Aging group report as well.
Lastly, we can set up reminder rules so that the system will automatically send out reminders to your customers for any upcoming payments or overdue payments, helping you automate the dunning process.
Revenue recognition is another common source of dread each month for a lot of our customers. Typically, it's an onerous process to determine what revenue can be recognized through the use of complex spreadsheets. But with our revenue management engine, within PSA, the system does the hard work for you. With the click of a button, we can generate everything that is ready to be recognized across all projects at any point in time.
This view provides information on what's been recognized previously, as well as what's to be recognized in this period. The green bars provide a visual of total revenue recognized for the project along with the financial data. You can also see any cost broken out the same way. This helps us stay in compliance with revenue recognition standards, like ASC 606. Through our templates, our company can handle multiple ways of recognizing revenue. After running revenue recognition, she simply reviews for accuracy, any entries that she wants to commit. If it all looks good, she simply clicks "submit" to commit these entries. This will create a revenue recognition transaction, which moves the money from deferred revenue to actual revenue.
So, now that we've gone into our PSA and billing, we can now dive into more of our core accounting functionality, and see how our account (Allison) uses Certinia to perform her daily tasks.
So, Alison (our accountant), starts off her day by needing to purchase some new items for the office. So, she navigates over to our Procurement workspace to perform some tasks. Within this workspace, Allison can create new requisitions, send them through an approval process, and view open purchase orders.
Purchase orders will also go through an approval process. Once approved and sent to the vendor, the receiving report can be filled out. That part is typically done at the warehouse and indicates how many goods were received.
Now, we can dip over to our accounts payable side of things with our Accounts Payable workspace. Here is Alison's one-stop-shop when managing the AP process. She can easily track overdue invoices, see a live AP aging report, and even issue credit notes all directly from the screen. We're also able to make payments for any of your open payables through our Payments Plus engine. From here, the engine will take you through a payment proposal process that will allow you to simply select any payable invoices you want to process.
So, let's pretend, for example, we want to make a payment for our subcontractors. When we're ready we can simply retrieve our transactions with applicable filtering as we see fit, and we can select the subcontractor payable invoice that's already been costed to a project. The engine will take you through the process and this will work for multiple or even just one item that you want to include in your proposal, and the engine will automate the payment itself, as well as creating the actual transactions to reflect the payment of that open item.
In addition to the AP side of things, Allison is also responsible for managing the month end process. She utilizes the period end workspace to track all the different procedures that need to be performed – like intercompany eliminations, currency translations, and revaluations, and closing off periods. We can also have an embedded trial balance for our GL accounts down below on this workspace, as well.
If we come up to our month end close, we can start our month end close procedures directly from this workspace. From here, we can easily get a list view of all the items that need to be completed, the task owner, the due date, and status.
While this list view may be helpful for some, we actually can see a more simplified version by switching over to that combined view, like we saw earlier. Here, we can organize all this information into these different buckets, and we can easily make changes to any of these tasks, update status through dragging and dropping.
But lastly it's time to generate our financial statements for the end of period. So, Alison likes to review the budget to actual report. So, if we go here and we select our income statement with budgets, we can easily run any point in time our financial statements, and we'll pull up a templated out financial report. If she ever has any questions on where numbers are coming from, she can simply drill into any of these figures to get additional insights and see what transactions are driving that particular number, making it very easy to see a complete audit trail and always having the ability to navigate back to the source records.
We also make it very easy for Alison to produce consolidated financial statements. So, we can also navigate over down to our balance sheet multi-company. When we run that, here we can see the values for each entity, our eliminations, and the consolidated values for across all the entities.
While financial statements are important for our organization, it's even more important to understand the future state of our organization. This is where our analytics tool – powered by Tableau CRM – comes in handy for our accounting side as well. We can also use analytics to track our financial metrics, like we see here on the CFO overview dashboard. We can use this to analyze all different types of metrics, such as revenue, gross margin, operating expenses. EBITDA, and we also have balance sheet metrics – such as our accounts receivable, are day sales outstanding, accounts payable, cash and equivalents. This data is extremely powerful because it allows us to interact with it in multiple ways. On my right-hand side of my screen, I can also start to filter down this data. I can select different companies, currencies, or filter by different years, periods, or maybe instead of comparing as prior year, maybe I want to compare this against budget data.
We can also set up notifications on any of these metrics. I can easily go through and set up a threshold. So, this way, we can set up a custom threshold and be notified when a number has met that threshold, saving you time when analyzing your data.
Lastly, this information wouldn't be very helpful unless we were able to share it. So, in addition to setting up notifications, one of the other items we do is simply share this information. Just like before, we can easily tag in any individual within our company, leave them a little message, and we can also attach a screenshot that will be included within our notification. This eliminates the need of sending emails or messages within other tools, since all communication can be maintained in Certinia.
Analytics are critical to organizations, and it gives you the ability to slice and dice this data in many ways, all on the fly. This will ultimately lead to you running a more effective and efficient business.
Now, this concludes today's demonstration. Thank you all for joining at this time, and I'll open it up for any questions. Thank you.

Deep beneath the crust of a far younger Earth, a heady brew of carbon, heat, and unimaginable pressure created one of the hardest natural materials on the planet. Ejected toward the surface by volcanic eruptions, diamonds predate the dinosaurs by at least half a billion years, and will last for billions of years into the future. Not all natural wonders are quite so enduring though. Some need support to be able to last forever.
Building Forever is De Beers' commitment to ensure that every diamond they discover leaves a lasting positive impact on the people and the place where it's found. Working with diamonds at their source has instilled such a deep respect for local communities and the planet that De Beers has set a number of Building Forever goals focused on partnering for thriving communities, accelerating equal opportunities, leading ethical practices, and protecting the natural world, including targets to achieve a net positive impact on biodiversity and become carbon neutral by 2030.
Building Forever isn't a recent commitment for De Beers―it's a decades-long undertaking to create a strong positive impact tied to each diamond. Natural diamonds are present in about 35 countries, but among the top producers are Botswana and South Africa, two countries in which De Beers has operations. Since the discovery of diamonds in Orapa, Botswana, in the 1960s, the Botswana government's careful stewardship of income from diamonds has seen the country prosper. Illiteracy and poverty rates fell as Botswana rose from a developing to a middle-income nation in just a few decades. The formation of the Debswana Diamond Company—a 50/50 joint venture between the government of Botswana and De Beers—became one of the strongest examples of public-private partnership in the Southern Hemisphere. In fact, since 2001 the people of Botswana have had a 15 percent ownership in De Beers.
The diamond company continues to partner with others to make a lasting difference. Now, through a new partnership called Okavango Eternal, De Beers has joined National Geographic in its work to help secure protection for the Okavango Delta's headwaters.
One of the largest, most biodiverse wetlands in the world, the Okavango Delta is fed by water that comes almost entirely from Angola, two countries away. If these waters were to stop flowing, the Delta would simply disappear, taking with it the habitat critical to harboring incredible biodiversity and the vital revenue from Botswana's tourism sector. While the Okavango Delta thrives under government-enabled conservation, the challenge of ensuring its future lies far beyond the Kalahari Desert. The Delta's source waters begin in the rainy Angolan highlands, streaming down the Cuito and Cubango Rivers and converging at the southern Angola border to form the Okavango River, which continues flowing through Namibia and into Botswana. But these waters are threatened by climate change, as well as the pressures of development from growing populations.
With local and international support, the National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project, led by National Geographic Explorer Dr. Steve Boyes, has been surveying the Cuito and the Cubango Rivers since 2015—every last mile, trickle, and stream—studying wildlife and water quality to comprehend just how pure these waters have to remain to nourish the Okavango Delta. The amassed body of data serves as a powerful tool in developing conservation efforts to help preserve these two rivers so they are able to flow freely and cleanly through undamaged land, safe from human-set fires and timber harvest. It is a multiyear, multifaceted, multi-country mission with many challenges, and through Okavango Eternal, De Beers is offering its resources and efforts to help accelerate the program in protecting the natural world and supporting thriving communities.
You might ask how a diamond company could go about helping such an ambitious project to protect the natural world, but the answer is simple: through their experience working in partnership with local people. "The future of conservation in Africa is local," stresses Boyes, while discussing what it will take to achieve long-term success in preserving both the Okavango Delta and its glittering lifelines. "Those local people need to be the owners of these tourism businesses." If local livelihoods and businesses can be built upon a foundation of conserving the precious land around them, development can be funded sustainably—no more relying on commodities that neither the Cuito nor the Cubango Rivers can surrender.
It's important to balance any conservation efforts with socio-economic development and empowerment across the Okavango Basin. "Any conservation initiative to protect landscapes and biodiversity will be useless without a profound intention and strategy to allow for sustainable development of these communities," says Kerllen Costa, National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Country Director for Angola. "The project will focus on absorbing their intricate connection with these forests and rivers, [and] the already elevated conservation traditions of their natural heritage." Ancient and respectful, the symbiotic relationships local communities already have with their lands will teach well-intentioned outsiders how they, too, can help protect these communities and landscapes alike.
Having spent half a century working with the people of Botswana, De Beers is experienced in enabling access to business opportunities for a broad range of local community members. For example, its Accelerating Women Owned Micro-Enterprises (AWOME) program runs in partnership with UN Women and local governments across Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa, creating new jobs and a wider range of local businesses. Having proved successful elsewhere, AWOME has rolled out into communities around the Okavango Delta—the learnings from which, alongside other De Beers-supported programs, such as Stanford and Tokafala, could help to guide the partnership's community livelihood efforts.
Over the next few years, the De Beers and National Geographic partnership intends to continue helping empower communities, as well as establishing cooperatives and conservation operations for people closer to the Okavango Delta and up into Angola. By 2030, the partnership aims to have developed livelihood opportunities for around 10,000 people and help ensure water and food security for over a million people—fortifying both of these outcomes with an increased local resilience to climate-related impacts.
The scientific work that supports these conservation efforts must also continue. The partnership will establish critical infrastructure to expand water monitoring capabilities along the more remote rivers, while also supporting the Okavango Wilderness Project's annual Delta expeditions to collect further data. A deeper understanding of how these ecosystems interact—the extent of migration routes and territories for animals, for example—will also enable the partnership to help safeguard corridors between countries for wildlife to pass through freely and proliferate, protected by locals who derive a sustainable livelihood from conserving the area.
But people can't support what they don't know about. As Boyes explains, "If the science doesn't have a narrative, it's not accessible to people. It's not delivered to them, and it has very little impact. I'm talking about the local people on the ground and the whole world that ends up supporting and funding it. Storytelling is absolutely crucial." That's why the Okavango Eternal partnership will help to bring both the wonder and the importance of the Delta and its source waters to as wide an audience as it can.
Building Forever is a promise of contributing to a better future for the Earth. In Botswana and beyond, positive change is happening fast. That momentum needs to be sustained, which is why De Beers and National Geographic plan to support the next generation of protectors, developing programs to support local scientists and sponsoring internships and Ph.D.s to ensure future stewardship of the Okavango Basin remains in local hands.
Like the seasonal journey of the Cuito and the Cubango Rivers, the Okavango Eternal partnership has many miles to travel through unknown territory, but together De Beers and National Geographic will help protect one of Africa's most unique natural wonders.

text: You don't sound like a dick at all; you sound like a lazy bum :-) I hope you don't think I'm bitching, but I'm going to try to explain my side of this. I fully understand what real releases take in time committment. However, I remember Scott saying explicitly that our alpha releases should be for real; if I still saved all my mail, I would excerpt the quote here. These releases affect me. The last three releases have broken my efforts to work on the RT core, and I have no idea what's going on because there are no real release notes. I can't even check on the state of the system relative to known bug reports such as the keyevents, and as a maintainer I should be able to do that release to release. I used to build dozens of unreleased cores in trying to make a single RT alpha release of the old system, but that is part of the responsibility of avoiding putting out total shit. You can't release something to alpha until the rest of us are ready for it, and right now there's no hand shaking going on at all. Sometimes I would have to get Rob or you to test drive a core before I put it out to alpha, and that's not because some random users subscribed to alpha. It is also because careless releases affect Scott's research, and it affects the rest of the group developing the system. I'm at a point now that I want some way of putting a core on lisp-pmax1 and choking sup, so I can install a core when it won't screw me. I don't mean you are careless, and I realize all any of us has to do is go back to the previous release ... but we can't really do that right now, can we. Maybe I should save a copy of each good core in AFS, so I can copy it to lisp-pmax1 whenever a release like this occurs which seems to be most releases. I do admit that I'm being somewhat anal retentive since I irrationally like to believe life is an absolute knowledge game, and I also like to be in full control. Well, I'm not anymore, and I'm more sensitive to being unaware of the state of the world. It is a GREAT frustration to me to constantly deal with "releases" that prevent me from working, or that cost me three days of compilation when I could postpone that to when I'm more emotionally prepared for it. I feel like a hapless end-user, like the people I used to shaft :-) Once again, I just got to a point to compile some stuff for a new level of information on my efforts, and you have changed the core. I spent all day gettng ready to receive that information, and now I might have to wait until late tomorrow or Monday to see the results. I don't even know though at this point what I have to do -- recompile the whole backend or what. My compile of code: is broken now with more than two times the number of fatal errors, and it is likely this means I have to modify my backend and recompile the whole fucking thing again. I was hoping to see less. I realize good release notes wouldn't have prevented me from losing the gratification I was hoping for tonight, but then I might have known why my dumper was broken. One thing a maintainer must do is anticipate how his users will be affected, and tell them how to unfuck themselves with the maintainer's latest and greatest. Okay, I'm sorry to everyone for the verbosity here. I certainly hope no one thinks I'm relieving the tension of having my car stolen last night. Ha ha, see I think it is funny that it was stolen between 10-11 p.m. from right in front of my house under the street light. I'm glad I'm an urban dweller because it is so much more convenient now with only one vehicle left to worry about. Happy hacking, Bill

He stands in my bedroom doorway and goes on about how this is it then, I won't see him again, and I sit in my antique chair and cradle her while she sucks out the last ounce of her bottle, and he shivers a little in that threshold—don't try and call me, nothing. When my daughter's older, I'll tell her the truth—and the silence turns pink in my mouth, then orange, then blue.
At five, he romped
barefoot in a pigpen
in the Dominican Republic,
his aunt would sterilize
a needle and pick whipworms
from the bottoms of his feet.
He, with a matching pair
of sneakers for every outfit,
whose rubber soles jut
just over the edge of my bed,
my incredulity matched
by wonder. In my dream,
the worm's pointed head
pricks through the skin
of my index finger. Tweezers
finally grip the exposed
eighteenth of an inch,
and it stretches,
stretches, its length
lodged in my flesh,
til the tweezers slip
and the worm, still one,
snaps back into
Why do they ignore me?
My sister and mother, who don't
look themselves but svelte, decorous
in frosted lipstick.
The voice says you died.
Me? The ghost of this house
where I found what I stole? A broken
VHS and the diary
of the gastroenterologist I dated.
On the mantelpiece,
a picture of me at The Gala leans
without frame. How blithe I was
with my chipped nail polish
and glitter wallet, how little I cared
my hair clung to the fringe
of the circular rug . . .
The infant hatches from sleep,
a hiccup, chirp and gasp
reel me from bed
to the edge of her crib. Her eyes
jerk upward.
In minutes, they'll latch onto mine
as I push the latex nipple
between her lips, hurry
to quell her rage.
She bats the anime toy clipped
to the car seat where I've placed her
while I mix Similac and nursery water,
my panic, a current an inch below the coos
One second Baby.
Hold on Honey,
I'm here—
If it would only grip, he says, just a little,
the plastic hose clamped between his bent
knee and elbow, as he tries to screw the open
end into the "duct." I now know the name
for it—the part I circled with painters tape
from when I moved in six years ago (adhering
to itself, it twisted thin as twine as I brought it
round the hose, then patched it, again and again,
when chutes of humid air pushed through,
arrows of sun piercing clouds). Even the word
"grip" fits, what neither part will do as he seals
their tenuous kiss with aluminum tape, welding
the last few grooves of the hose to the duct's

Wicomico Council tables resolution to fix airport road
The County Council tabled a resolution Tuesday meant to repair a road at the Salisbury-Ocean City: Wicomico Regional Airport.
The resolution would have had the Wicomico County Airport Commission apply for a $300,000 grant from the Maryland Aviation's Office of Regional Aviation Assistance for the repair of Airport Terminal Road. The commission would have paid an additional $100,000 toward repairs, funded by passenger facilities charges levied by the county on all those traveling through the airport.
While airport manager Robert Bryant said the road was in need of repairs, The council was hesitant to go ahead with the project after questioning whether the road should be a priority among the apparent litany of repairs the airport requires. The resolution came directly after another one authorizing the commission to move forward with applying for a $61,500 grant from the state aviation office for repairs of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, as well as the baggage terminal at the airport.
Bryant went on to say the commission had spent close to $20,000 for fiscal year 2014 for road repair work, which was "primarily patching."
"It's not going to look good if we're paving this road when other roads are in worse shape," said Councilman Joe Holloway.
While funding obtained via the $4.50 passenger facilities fee charged to all travelers at the public airport could not be spent directly in response to an emergency situation, the airport could petition the Federal Aviation Administration to use the funds in such situations if necessary, Bryant said.
He tried to quell fears that the $100,000 would leave the airport in a vulnerable position, saying that there would still be $200,000 left in that particular fund if spent and pointed out that the fund was not the only spending mechanism available to the commission.
However, after deliberating about possibly voting down the resolution, council opted to table the resolution authorizing the application and supplemental funding until the Aug. 5 meeting, where Bryant and other members of the commission will be tasked to come up with a list of priorities when it comes to necessary repairs to the airport.

NZNO Tōpūtanga Tapuhi Kaitiaki o Aotearoa
Nurses have long been marginalised in the politics of health and unfortunately, NZNO hasn't been a strong enough advocate to challenge that. For years the organisation has made compromises and concessions because it didn't have the political will or the belief in our collective strength to challenge power.
But we need to get past the idea that we're non-partisan. Our work is political, our lives are political, and the powerful will exploit our apathy to their advantage. As health workers we're advocates for our patients and as a union and professional organisation, we advocate for a better health system. To do that we must engage in politics. And by that I don't mean endorsing a political party. I mean building and pushing our own vision of health and holding all decision-makers to account to get there.
After all, unions have always fought on broader political causes because workers' lives don't just begin and end when they clock in. Unions have been part of the fight for Indigenous liberation, women's rights, racial justice, climate justice and the peace movement across the world. As the union saying goes, "an injury to one is an injury to all." We are part of a long history of collective struggle for all people.
I also want to point out that it's not only our unionist roots that demand political courage, but our professional responsibilities too. When standards of practice are watered down or public health measures are eased against our better judgement, those are the result of political decisions that we must challenge.
So now, with the general election on the horizon, we start seeing National and the Act Party rolling out racist rhetoric, including calls to extinguish the Māori Health Authority. They're also advocating the same economic policies that gutted our health system. At the same time Labour will continue to make promises they won't deliver on. We need to watch all this and be ready to push back on it.
From this point on, NZNO must change the way it operates if we want to go from conservative to progressive, from reactionary to proactive. If we want what's best for ourselves and our communities, we need to go hard and front foot on political issues.
We must start to empower people to do their own thinking and not be afraid to front divisive issues on race, gender, sexuality, class, and power. We can't sit and wait for change to happen for us. We've got to be courageous and realise we have the power to make change. Not only do we have the power, we have the right and the responsibility to stand up, be heard and fight for a better future.

John T Carrothers (1867-1899) (sometimes spelled "Carothers") was an early City Council Member. He was on the Council in 1883, 1884, 1885, 1886 and 1887 (still single year terms) and was a Republican. During the election of 1887, which otherwise was quite dull, an anonymous group called "The High License Committee" sent out letters against Carothers on the claim that he had "aided the low liquor license ordinance." This had the effect of getting out the vote for Carothers, and there was no one else on the ballot in the 1st Ward, so Carothers had no trouble getting elected: he won 830 votes and the next closest person on the ballot got 820, followed by 635.6 He was elected to the State Republican Convention in 1884 and also served for four years on the Board of Public Works.1, 4 He served as the "Baggage Master" for the Oakland Ferry2 and for Southern Pacific.3 He was a well-known railroad man, and the San Francisco Chronicle devoted considerable space to both a previous illness5 and his passing, which was also mentioned in national railroad publications. He lived at both 1392 Harrison Street and 1622 8th Street.

The implementation of a supported community of practice is a relatively new concept at NMSU, developed through convening and discussions started in Fall 2017 and continuing throughout the Fall 2019 semester. The creation of the community of practice, Beyond Borders, will provide 1) member mentorship, 2) support for project incubation, and 3) convening, coalescing, communication, and clearinghouse functions for work that focuses on international, hemispheric, and border regions.
Established by former Provost Carol Parker in alignment with the LEADS 2025 Global Challenge, "Healthy Borders," the Beyond Borders Community of Practice supports faculty and staff who are interested in building and supporting community around applied research and creative works exploring a broad range of border issues, interdisciplinary internationalization of the curriculum, and community engagement and extension.
Beyond Borders receives programming and logistical support from the Provost's Office and the Office of the Vice President for Research, and will work with the research office to secure externally funded contracts and grants to facilitate and incubate initiatives, with the goal of these initiatives becoming financially self-sustainable.
To lead the initiative, Dr. Christopher Brown has been selected as the inaugural Faculty Fellow for the Beyond Borders Community of Practice. Brown became interested in U.S.-Mexico border issues while doing his Ph.D. research in the early 1990s. He has been actively involved in studying binational water resource issues on the U.S.-Mexico border. Brown's specific areas of interest include binational water resource policy and water quality and supply in U.S.-Mexico border twin city regions. Of special interest to NMSU's Beyond Borders Community of Practice effort, Brown has worked to develop metrics by which the quality of life of U.S.-Mexico border residents can be measured, specifically developing a human development index for Doña Ana County. Brown has also provided leadership to the Good Neighbor Environment Board, the Association of Borderland Studies, the Western Social Science Association and the Ocotillo Institute for Social Justice.

There are at least three major existential threats to human life. They are:
- Pandemics
- Climate Change
- Nuclear War
These very real threats are global in nature and therefore must be handled with the cooperation of many countries. This requires skilled leadership in the USA as well as elsewhere. Each of these risks has gotten greater in the past 4 years, and therefore, they are good reasons not to vote for Trump – his incoherent management style and the constantly rotating team he has around him are not up to dealing with complex global issues. He has demonstrated this with his mishandling of the coronavirus, his withdrawal from many of our alliances (e.g., World Health Organization, Paris Climate Accord), and in a myriad of other ways.
There are a series of other concerns that many of us also consider to be important. These include:
- Jobs and economic security
- Improving our democracy
- Income inequality and access to the American Dream
- Inherent worth and dignity of everyone
- Domestic terrorism
- Disinformation campaigns
- Cyber Security
- Breakdown of our institutions
- Clean air, clean water and the degradation of the Earth's biosphere of which we are a part
- Protection of our Public Lands
On each one of these, Trump has also failed the majority of Americans. A few special interests have won. Most of us have lost. Few of us are better off today than we were 4 years ago.
My Dream – I see a future where we all work together to deal with these issues in a systematic and responsible manner. Where we have a leader who can bring us together to achieve all that we can achieve. A leader who we can trust and who inspires us to be the best that we can be. A leader who reaches not only across the aisle but also across borders and works globally with the world community on these challenging issues.
I see a future where we support one another, where we listen to logic and science and the people all across this great land. Where we act with knowledge and compassion for others and where we all, through hard and honest work, can achieve our dreams for ourselves and our children. Let's come together and make that wish come true. Vote as if your life, liberty, and your pursuit of happiness depend on it.
I am hopeful because Joe Biden has the potential for making this happen. I am excited because we get to help make this dream come true. We get to vote for leaders and representatives at all levels of government who know that we are better and can do better than this.

You see it is hard waiting for a miracle. Every day I feel different things – certain times of the months I feel A LOT more things I can tell you.
I've had plenty of sad days and days of being upset and wondering when this journey will end. But amongst those days there have been happy days. Plenty of them! And its focusing on that and why you were so happy that is what keeps you going.
What I've recently learned however, and I'm talking recently as in Sunday just gone, is that I deserve a miracle!
It seems that for quite a while, I've been telling myself quite the opposite – that I don't deserve a miracle. That there is something I've done along the way that has meant that I won't get a child. That I shouldn't ask to be pregnant in prayer because it's not something I've earnt. So I haven't been asking. I haven't been praying for our future child.
Now that in itself is something I have to work on because I'm still trying to figure out why exactly I feel this way, but Sunday it changed this perception for me. I took myself out of my comfort zone and went along to a healing meeting my sister in law invited us to. It was at a church outside of Brisbane with a Pastor called John Mellor – an Australian man who travels the world performing amazing healings and miracles in the name of Jesus.
Every single person in that church was given the opportunity to be prayed for. To line up after the service and have John pray on their need, to pray for healing. I felt like I maybe shouldn't. That there were people in this church with pain, sickness and cancer and here we were, healthy and happy people who wanted to create a life, while others were fighting for theres.
But we lined up and waited for John to pray for us – both whispering to each other about 'what do we ask for, what do we say', only to both say back to each other 'i don't know i've never done this before'. Yes we are dorks.
But fancy that. Not knowing what to ask for – but knowing at the same time. We shouldn't have to be afraid to ask!
We did end up telling him when it was our time – that we were waiting for a baby.
He prayed for us and prayed our infertility away. He laid hands on us and prayed for healing of sperm. He lay hands upon my stomach and prayed for my uterus to be healed. He laid hands on us both and prayed for the promise of a child in 12 months time. And tears streamed down my face.
I've learnt that its okay to speak out loud what we want. That as we praise God and ask for forgiveness, that we can also ask for what our hearts long for and believe that through faith He will deliver! Because we are all worthy! That Jesus paid the ultimate price for us and that in these circumstances we have to take it to the cross!
Sunday gave me affirmation of hope and for believing in a child of our own just as He has done for so many others who have prayed for the same!
I will be praying every day. I will be praying every day on the promise of a child of our own in 12 months time. Praying on the healing power of our Lord Jesus Christ and believing that we do indeed deserve a miracle and we will have a child.
AMEN!!!! This is amazing!!! I'm in complete agreement with the prayers prayed over you and all that Caroline just said!!! YES!!!!
Ahh I just love this! Praying and believing with you! Just like Hannah received word from the priest that her prayers have been heard and answered, believe that your prayers have also been heard and answered 🙂
This post reminded me of a post I recently did called, My First Smile
ames 4:2 which says, "You do not have because you do not ask."

Okaloosa could adopt Crab Island rules in July
SHALIMAR — More than 80 percent of the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office's marine-related calls for service in recent years have been for activities at Crab Island, Sheriff Larry Ashley said at Monday's County Commission workshop on possible island regulations.
Ashley noted that his deputies pulled 25 people from the waters at and around Crab Island just last weekend. The people who had to be rescued were either intoxicated or did not understand the weather conditions, he said.
"There are no lifeguards out there," Ashley said. "We are the lifeguards."
He also said that he passes the island every weekend on his way to go fishing.
"It's become an adult nightclub," the sheriff said. "It's become a bar. There have to be some rules."
Commissioners agreed.
At their July 17 regular meeting in Shalimar, they plan to consider whether to adopt an ordinance that would, starting Nov. 1, prohibit the sale, distribution or consumption of alcoholic beverages on any commercial floating structure at Crab Island.
The ordinance also would require each structure owner to prominently display at least his or her name and phone number on both front sides of the structure above the waterline.
In addition, it would establish the "Crab Island Entertainment Area" and require each owner who operates a commercial floating structure there to obtain a special county license.
Those structures would be allowed to remain anchored to the submerged island between dusk and dawn from March 1 to Oct. 31 in 2019 and 2020 as long as their owners meet other requirements.
The owners would have to pay an administrative fee to the county in order to conduct business within the entertainment area, according to the ordinance. The fee would be $1,000 per month or for any portion of a month that the structure operates in the area.
The owners also would have to have a 360-degree, white masthead light with 2-mile visibility mounted on their structures.
The ability to anchor at Crab Island from March 1 to Oct. 31 would expire on Nov. 1, 2020. After that date, all floating structures at the island would have to be stationed between dusk and dawn at a public or private marina or dock, within a permitted mooring field or on private property, including submerged lands.
At Monday's workshop, several commissioners emphasized that while they want to regulate Crab Island, they're not anti-business
Commission Vice Chairman Kelly Windes said he was born and raised in Destin and, after having been self-employed for 50 years, knows how entrepreneurs work.
While Crab Island business owners say they're promoting family fun, way too many negative incidents at the island over the years prove otherwise, Windes said.
Commissioner Carolyn Ketchel said she has heard complaints of "stripper poles" being set up at Crab Island with children around.
She also said that she has fielded complaints about behavior "that should be taking place in private homes, not in public places. I'm not blaming the vendors, but this is what it has become: A carnival."
The rules in the proposed ordinance would not hurt the private use of the island by residents and other visitors, said Commissioner Trey Goodwin, who used to go to the island when he was younger.
"I think there needs to be rules, and parity and fairness with land-based businesses," he said.
An issue that arose several times at the workshop was the practice by some island businesses of selling virgin daiquiris and then giving away the accompanying alcohol for free.
While that scenario represents a loophole, it's technically a lawful distribution of alcohol, Commissioner Nathan Boyles said.
The overall proposed ordinance, he said later, "in no way will appreciably impact the number of watercraft going to the island" but it could lead to less aesthetically pleasing vessels taking the spots of the commercial structures.
The submerged Crab Island is owned by the state but is within the county's jurisdiction. A majority of the Destin City Council supports regulating the island's commercial activities.
A Fort Walton Beach resident said the island businesses provide convenient food options for people on personal watercraft and other vessels. Island businessman Stan Shipp urged the commissioners to visit the businesses in person to see that they are not the cause of problems.
And island businessman Sam Poppell told the commission that he and the owners of other floating structures at the island want a long-term future there.
He pointed out that Epcot at Disney World offers is still considered family-friendly even though it offers alcohol.
"We've worked hard to foster a family environment out there" at the island, said Poppell, who added that it needs more boat lanes and water-depth signs.
He also suggested the county form a citizens' advisory board, which could include a commissioner and a Sheriff's Office employee, to craft rules for Crab Island.
But the "can has been kicked down the road for so long … if we continue to do that, Destin will continue to get more tarnished," Windes said.
In an email he sent to the commission on Monday, Fort Walton Beach resident James Wiggins offered a possible solution to the island drama.
"Please consider dredging the entire Crab Island to improve tidal flow and water quality of the entire bay and its bayous," Wiggins wrote. "Use the spoils to create a beach at a public park."

John Lynch told NBC Sports Mike Trico on Tuesdays "Lunch Talk Live" that the 49ers originally never had any interest in moving up in the draft. At first, they wanted to accumulate picks and move back in the draft but all of that changed when the Eagles selected Former TCU wide receiver, Jalen Reagor, with the 21st pick.
Once the Eagles selected Jalen Reagor, the 49er's felt they had a very realistic chance of drafting Brandon Aiyuk if they were able to trade up. The Niners had Aiyuk and former Oklahoma Star WR Ceedee Lamb as their two highest receivers on the board according to Coach Kyle Shanahan. John Lynch said he would have selected Aiyuk at 13 if Kinlaw was not available.
It makes sense that they had Brandon Aiyuk so high on their board as he is very dangerous after making the catch. These players tend to thrive in Coach Shanahan's offense as he likes to get players into open space to make plays. The 49ers utilize a zone-running game forcing more players into the box for the opposing defense. They used this to their advantage as it helps to get their receivers into favorable matchups.
The 49ers had a conservative mindset coming into the draft. Once they saw an opportunity to grab a 1st round talent in the 2nd round, they knew they had to hop on the phones and make it happen.

An endless supply of tea, easy access to peanut butter toast and the option to work in your pyjamas; studying from home can be great, especially when it means avoiding a soggy commute to the library and helping to reduce carbon emissions.
However, speaking from experience, it can come with procrastination pitfalls; Netflix, sleeping and baking to name a few. If you are used to studying with friends home working can also feel a little dull and lonely. That said, when you've got a 3,000-word essay to write there's no better place to get it down.
Not convinced? I have nine tried and tested tips guaranteed to help you get the most out of studying at home. (more…)

Exeter has a leading reputation as one of the top 10/15 Universities in the UK, but many may be surprised to know is that there is more to Exeter than its main Streatham campus. There are several other campuses, largest of which is the Penryn Campus based in Cornwall, and with an ever expanding field of subjects and growing student numbers, this campus is going to become more prominent. Cornwall in the summer is an absolute delight, with a host of touristy spots and off the beaten track gems to be discovered. (more…)

Fish Reports:
- John Whitaker reports;
Hank, A shorty report and some pics of a trip my wife and I made to Mammoth last weekend. We stayed at Tamarack Lodge to relive our past trips from many years ago. Nothing much had changed. We tubed Lower Twin for three sessions in the mornings. We were fly fishing with an intermediate line, Rio 4X tippet and a small olive leach pattern. Overall fishing was very slow, especially for the shore anglers. We did pretty well, managing to hook 6 very nice rainbows up to five pounds and netted three of them. Two nice dinners and lots of rest and cocktails.
Love that place even though the smoke was pretty thick when we arrived
Thanks for the Photo's John
- Gus Chabre reports leaving the dock at 5am with Curt Herberts, Mike Hardy, Chris Scott, and Jonathan Scott on board. They headed for the east end of Catalina. Gus continued to report 4 Bluefin tuna caught and then turned over the report to a very fast paced, very animated very vocal Chris Scott, (no surprise??) who went on give a detailed account of his son Jonathan's first Bluefin Tuna. I have decided to shorten his report!!! This is the same guy who I let gaff my 61 lb Seabass… No Worries???????
Congrats to Jonathan Scott, Nice Catch!!!!
- Al Hermer reports the 2 ½ day trip on the Pacific Dawn to be a great success. The trip started out on the outside of Pyramid Cove, San Clemente Island for some very good Yellowtail fishing. These fish were between 15 to 25lbs. After the bite died the boat headed to an area approximately 15 miles off Oceanside. In route they encountered many Bluefin foamers which showed no interest in bait, jigs, or poppers except for two yellowfin and 1 Bluefin. The boat continued its way and began to find success as a slow pick on meter mark fish until dark. Once dark the fishing using DK jigs or Flat Falls and sinker rigs was pretty good.
All-in-all the fish was a great time, in very good weather with outstanding service and food provided by the Crew.
- Tom Schlauch with his son-in-law and a couple of friends took the Dreamer down the line headed for the 14-mile bank and the 267. They were dragging a spreader bar and a daisy chain looking for the Bluefin. They managed 5 tuna and 1 marlin (caught & released). Tom suggests dragging spreader bars way back behind the boat, at least 150 to 200 yards.
- Thom Ryan went on a company charter aboard the Grande. They managed to get as far as the bait barge in San Diego before one guy begin to have a panic attack and stated he needed to get off the boat. They waited until a skiff from the landing arrived to take him off the boat before continuing to an area 20 to 25 miles off Oceanside. They managed 41 Bluefin from 20 to 35 lbs with a couple at 45lbs. Additionally they caught a couple of Yellowfin.

When it comes to prison reform, Eric Holder might just have a point. Skeptical? Read these two quotes:
You want to talk about real conservative governance? Shut prisons down. Save that money. Stop the recidivism rates—lower them. That's what can happen with these drug courts.
This overreliance on incarceration is not just financially unsustainable, it comes with human and moral costs that are impossible to calculate.
The first quote comes from Republican Governor Rick Perry, and the second from Attorney General Eric Holder.
This year at CPAC, Rick Perry, Grover Norquist, and former police commissioner and federal inmate Bernie Kerik took on prison reform. Their panel discussion highlighted the problems with our prison system – the very same problems Holder wants to fix by lowering minimum sentences for non-violent drug offenses:
"We've got to create alternatives, and we have to stop putting people in prison that don't necessarily have to be there to learn their mistake," Kerik said.
Holder agrees. He wants to "reserve the most severe penalties for dangerous and violent drug trafficking" instead of spending money incarcerating minor drug users.
Kerik said that he met good, decent men in prison, whose lives were ruined because of a felony drug charge. If incarcerated at a young age, a man could spend ten years in prison, learning to lie, steal, cheat, and gamble, and not receiving any education or outside positive influence. Once that man gets out, Kerik said it should be no surprise he doesn't live like an upstanding citizen. In that case, prison does more harm than good.
Because of this, Holder wants to reduce the sentences for minor drug charges by about a year, which would take 6,550 inmates out of prisons over the next five years, according to the Washington Post.
Rick Perry should be celebrating this proposal, since Texas managed to shut down a prison because of similar legislation. As should Kerik, who was released from prison last year after serving time for dodging taxes, and has since been rallying against minimum sentences and "law and policy dooming felons who've paid their debts to second-class citizenship."
Not to mention these changes would significantly cut spending, something conservatives love:
The attorney general said his initiative would save the government billions of dollars and stop what he calls a destructive cycle of drug abuse, crime and incarceration. The United States, including state and local jurisdictions, spends nearly $83 billion each year on corrections. The federal government alone spends $6.4 billion annually to maintain its prisons, accounting for 25 percent of the Justice Department's annual budget.
Rallying with Eric Holder might seem like treason to some, but finding ways to cut spending and change dangerous cycles that prohibit the protection of citizens should be a bipartisan effort. In a world where Democrats and Republicans can't agree on anything, some common ground is like an icy beverage in July.

I have to split a text file into a specific amount of words per list in list, probably be best to show in example.
say the text file looks like this
"i am having a good day today"
i have to write a function which looks like this
ngrams.makeNGrams("ngrams.txt", 2)
#so since the given variable says 2 the output should look like this:
[['i', 'am'],['am', 'having'],['having', 'a'],['a','good'],['good', 'day'],['day','today']]
if the function looked like this
ngrams.makeNGrams("ngrams.txt", 3)
#it should give out:
Does anybody now how i should deal with this best ? thanks a lot in Advance
def ngrams(text, n):
words = text.split()
return [ words[i:i+n] for i in range(len(words)-n+1) ]
And use:
s = "i am having a good day today"

What is buprenorphine?
Buprenorphine (pronounced 'bew-pre-nor-feen') is a prescription drug.
It is taken as a replacement in the treatment of heroin and methadone dependence. Replacing a prescribed drug to treat a drug of dependence in this way is known as pharmacotherapy. As well as improving wellbeing by preventing physical withdrawal, pharmacotherapy helps to stabilise the lives of people who are dependent on heroin and other opioids, and to reduce the harms related to drug use.
Buprenorphine pharmacotherapy can be used to:
- help people to withdraw from heroin and methadone
- reduce the need to use heroin – this is known as buprenorphine maintenance
- treat severe pain.1
Other names
Pharmaceutical name
There are four formulations of buprenorphine available for people on pharmacotherapy treatment in Australia:
- Suboxone Sublingual Film® – A combination of buprenorphine and naloxone (also known as Narcan®). This is the most widely used form.
- Subutex Sublingual Tablets® – Contains only buprenorphine.
- Buvidal® is a modified release formulation of buprenorphine for administration by subcutaneous (SC) injection once a week (Buvidal® Weekly) or once a month (Buvidal® Monthly).
- Sublocade® is an extended-release formulation of BPN, administered monthly by SC injection.2-4
Slang names
Bup, B, subs, bupe, orange
Other types of opioids
How is it used?
Suboxone Sublingual Film® is a lime-flavoured, rectangular, orange film, which is placed under the tongue to dissolve. The film will not work properly if it is chewed or swallowed.3
Subutex Sublingual Tablets® are also placed under the tongue to dissolve and will not work properly if chewed or swallowed.4
How effective is it?
Buprenorphine treatment is more likely to be successful if it is part of a comprehensive treatment program, which addresses the body, mind and environment in which opioids have been used.
For example, treatment may include a combination of buprenorphine, counselling, alternative therapies and the development of a positive support network of peers, friends and a support group. 1
Buprenorphine maintenance
Buprenorphine maintenance may not work for everyone, so it is important to work with a doctor or drug counsellor to find the best approach.
Advantages of buprenorphine maintenance over heroin use
- Using buprenorphine on its own is unlikely to result in an overdose.
- Buprenorphine maintenance keeps the person stable while they make positive changes in their lives.
- Health problems are reduced or avoided, especially those related to injecting, such as HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses, skin infections and vein problems.
- Doses are required only once a day, sometimes even less often, because buprenorphine's effects are long lasting
- Buprenorphine is much cheaper than heroin.5
Effects of buprenorphine
There is no safe level of drug use. Use of any drug always carries some risk. Even medications can produce unwanted side effects. It's important to be careful when taking any type of drug.
Buprenorphine affects everyone differently, based on:
- size, weight and health
- whether the person is used to taking it
- whether other drugs are taken around the same time
- the amount taken.
Side effects
The most common side effects of buprenorphine are:
- constipation
- headache
- increased sweating
- tiredness or drowsiness (especially after a dose)
- loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting
- abdominal pain
- skin rashes, itching or hives
- tooth decay
- changes to periods (menstruation)
- lowered sex drive (males and females)
- weight gain (particularly for females).1, 6
Withdrawal from long-term use of buprenorphine may produce some symptoms similar to those experienced through heroin withdrawal.2, 3 It is recommended that withdrawal from buprenorphine is achieved gradually under medical supervision to prevent discomfort and unpleasant effects for the person.1 Withdrawal symptoms vary from person to person, but may include:
- cold or flu-like symptoms
- headache
- sweating
- aches and pains
- difficulty sleeping
- nausea
- mood swings
- loss of appetite.1
These effects usually peak in the first 2 to 5 days. Some mild effects may last a number of weeks.

Using buprenorphine without a prescription from a doctor, or selling or giving it to someone else, is illegal. There are also laws against forging or altering a prescription or making false representation to obtain buprenorphine or a prescription for it.7

Pharmacotherapy drugs (methadone, buprenorphine and naloxone)
On a snapshot day in mid-2017, nearly 50,000 people in Australia were on a course of pharmacotherapy treatment for their opioid dependence.60% received methadone, 25% received buprenorphine–naloxone and 15% received buprenorphine.8

Peyton Manning crashes an online class at the University of Tennessee
(CNN) -- You never know who might show up to class.
On Thursday, University of Tennessee professor John Haas was in the midst of giving instructions to his students in an online class on Zoom. Then, someone joined in late, prompting the professor to say in a stern tone, "Mr. Thompson, I think you're late for class."
"I'm sorry, Dr. Haas," Peyton Manning replied, wearing a Tennessee visor. "It's been a while. It's been at least since 1996 or '97 since I've been in a class."
When the students realized it was the football legend that had crashed their communication studies senior capstone class, some could be seen with their mouths dropped open, seemingly in disbelief.
"You know, if you were here, I'd be making you run the stadium steps for being late," Haas said, which made the two-time Super Bowl champion and former Volunteers quarterback chuckle.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, students are adjusting to online learning. Manning went on to give the students encouragement.
"I realize this is a unique time and probably not the ideal way you guys expected to spend your senior year," Manning, who graduated from Tennessee in 1997 with a degree in communication studies, said to the class.
"I just encourage you to keep a positive attitude, keep working like you're doing and try to take advantage of the little bit of the extra time you have to accomplish something else or help out somebody in need. (There are) a lot of people hurting out there during this time.
"Be thankful for what you have, and just know the University of Tennessee is proud of you and going to support you any way you can."
According to the university, this was the first in a series of online class drop-ins planned throughout the rest of this semester featuring well-known Tennessee alumni, Vols for Life (VFLs) and other friends of the university.
"Most of all, Peyton wanted to lift people's spirits," Haas said. "Vols help Vols, and this is just one of many ways an alum wanted to give back to our students."

Whenever we use the yield keyword in a statement, we indicate that the method, operator, or get accessor in which it appears is an iterator. Of course, since we know that iterators are used to… duh! iterate on collections of data, and since we know that when iterating on a collection, we can use the break keyword to immediately terminate the iteration, it is only obvious that whenever we use an yield return statement to return values in an iterator, like I've shown in the previous lesson, we can also use yield break to terminate the iteration of the said iterator.… Read more
