By Liz McMillan DevOps is about increasing efficiency, but nothing is more inefficient than building the same application twice. However, this is a routine occurrence with enterprise applications that need both a rich desktop web interface and strong mobile support. With recent technological advances from Isomorphic Software and others, it is now feasible to create a rich desktop and tuned mobile experience with a single codebase, without compromising performance or usability.

It's Day 29 of our live video feed of a robin nest and our hatchlings are growing every day.
A grey mass of down and new feathers, it's as if the baby robin bodies must struggle to keep up with the growth of their wings.
Just a few days ago we waited patiently to see a glimpse of a little orange beak when the hatchlings would occasionally peek above the edge of the nest for a morsel of food offered by the adult robins. Now, we can see the hatchlings all the time as they sleep most of the day away in the nest.
Within a couple of days they will be alert and perched upright in the nest much of the day. On Sunday (May 18) they hatchlings will be 14 days old and just about ready to take their first flight and fledge the nest.
Did you know?
The young leave the nest at around two weeks of age, but aren't fully independent until they're four weeks old. The female robin often lays another clutch, sometimes even before the first set leaves the nest. In this case, the male takes care of the first brood while the female tends to the second. She may even lay a third clutch depending on the area and the availability of resources. Source: http://cwf-fcf.org
All chicks in the brood leave the nest within two days of each other. Even after leaving the nest, the juveniles will follow their parents around and beg food from them. Juveniles become capable of sustained flight two weeks after fledgling.
American robins spend much of their day foraging for soft invertebrates such as earthworms and ground-dwelling insects to feed their young.
Depending on sex and subspecies, the robin's head features white eye arcs and varies from jet black to grey, with white supercilia and throat, blackish lores and lateral throat stripe. Underparts vary, often in tandem with head color, from deep, rich reddish maroon to grey-scalloped, peachy orange. Males tend to be darker, females greyer, but overlap makes determining the sex of many problematic. Source: http://animals.nationalgeographic.com
We have mounted a remote camera at a residential home in Durham Region from which we are streaming live video of a robin nest as the pair of birds prepare for the arrival of their clutch. Once the female lays her eggs she will incubate them for about 14 days. The hatchlings, typically three or four, will need another 15 days to mature before they fledge the nest.
The live feed will broadcast during daytime hours and we will have daily updates on the happenings in the nest.
You can join the conversation by Tweeting your comments and robin facts using the hashtag #robins2014. We will feature a selection of the tweets on our website.

Taxation: Unable to police the supposedly "rogue" agents it has now, the IRS wants thousands more to police your body under ObamaCare. Lawmakers should impose a hiring freeze instead.
The embattled agency is asking Congress for additional funding to hire as many as 16,500 more agents, auditors and other workers to enforce and implement ObamaCare. Over the next decade, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office figures the IRS could need up to $10 billion to do the job.
At the same time Congress considers appropriating these new funds, it's investigating the IRS for bullying conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.
Lawmakers of both parties have a duty to at least delay funding for the agency until they can get to the bottom of the mushrooming scandal.
Right now, the politically compromised agency can't be trusted with the financial data it already collects on individuals, not after it abused its power by asking GOP nonprofit applicants how they give and even how they pray.
Now imagine this same bunch with the investigative authority under ObamaCare to amass the most sensitive database of all.
Imagine a new army of partisan bureaucrats prying into otherwise private medical records and accessing information that only you and your doctor should know.
For the first time, moreover, the IRS will share confidential taxpayer information with the Department of Health and Human Services, raising the risk of abuse.
With its almost 50 changes to both personal and corporate taxes — the largest set of tax law changes in more than 20 years — ObamaCare makes the IRS its chief enforcer. Among other things, new staff will have to:
Verify individuals have "acceptable" health care coverage.
Verify businesses with 50 or more workers offer all full-time workers "acceptable" coverage, based on a government-mandated menu of benefits.
Impose penalties on people who don't buy coverage for every month of the year.
Confiscate tax refunds of those who fail to purchase "minimum essential coverage."
Penalize businesses that don't offer the minimum coverage for workers.
Increase audits of individuals to confirm eligibility for the individual-mandate tax, nearly half of which will be paid by households earning less than 300% of the federal poverty line ($66,150 for a family of four) — as well as eligibility audits for tax credits and other subsidies for the poor.
Audit not-for-profit hospitals to ensure they live up to their "charitable missions," by conducting "charitable needs assessments" every three years.
Enforce a 3.8% hike on investment income for wealthy individuals, estates and trusts, as well as an additional Medicare tax.
According to a report by the House Ways and Means Committee, the IRS will need between 11,800 and 16,500 new workers to perform all these new investigative and taxation functions at a cost of more than $10 billion over the next decade.
The agency already has hired more than 2,700 new workers, which along with upgrading its computer systems has cost more than $880 million. IRS' fiscal 2012 budget called for 1,269 added workers — including nearly 300 new agents — at a cost of $473 million.
Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., has introduced a bill — Prevent IRS Overreach Act (H.R. 1993) — to stop the IRS from hiring new employees to implement ObamaCare. Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., has proposed a companion bill in the upper chamber.
Given mounting fears over IRS abuses, this is more than sensible legislation. It simply wouldn't be prudent to give this out-of-control agency massive new resources right now.
If you think the IRS' traditional mission of revenue collection has been politicized by this perpetually campaigning administration, just wait until the delivery of a social program as controversial as ObamaCare is fully grafted on to its traditional activities.
Only by withholding funding for new IRS agents can Congress hope to check this awesome new power.

I gave the gift to a friend for her birthday. She just got a new job and has an office to decorate. She loves basketball and absolutely loves the picture and message. It is unique and bright. She says she has already received multiple compliments from her colleagues about it. I think the only shortcoming is that it is an expensive piece.

Hot answers tagged work
Am I destroying my career?
Yes you are... UNLESS you gain knowledge outside your current job you will become quite value-less to other companies. You have to keep yourself current. I worked as a SENIOR software developer for 11 years and when I changed positions I was clueless as to all other technologies and methodologies. I had no idea what Scrum was ...
I've been a .NET developer for going on 12 years and I'm still as passionate today as I was on day one.
If you're stuck witting console apps and don't have much variety in your development work this can be difficult. I think I would probably feel the same as you in this position.
The thing that has kept .NET interesting for me is learning all the new ...
You have an advantage in your current position in that you have time to actually research and apply new technologies to what you are doing thanks to the pace in your environment, and you will get paid to do it. I would take as much advantage of that as possible to sharpen your skills.
Before you take a break, write down the next action to be done after you get back to work.
This is important for two reasons - 1) you won't waste time trying to recall what you were working on 2) getting back to work will be much easier. Large portion of why we procrastinate is because the task is vague and we're afraid of it. Actionable tasks help with ...
It sounds like the main cause of your problem is severe stress. When you are stressed the whole day it becomes difficult to wind down and relax at the end of the day. This is even more so if the stress continues the whole week (or month, or longer). Some stress every once in a while is ok, it will make you alert and perform better, but too much stress for a ...
Your problem is "good colleagues", they're the ones that keep you at the level you are right now… if you want to do something get out of their lengthy lunches, long walks, useless chats. This will make you uncomfortable with your current state, but that's the idea!
As long as you stay with them, you'll be like them, don't make friends in office just keep ...
I am not a natural born programmer, but it is something that I have taught myself to tolerate and even enjoy at times. Here are a few things that helped me:
1.) find out which part of programming most interests you. "Programming" is such a large topic. Do you enjoy working with databases, creating web services? Then the "back-end" might be more your cup ...
When you wake up, do not do anything that is exciting or disturbs sleep: no eating, no Internet browsing. Reading might be OK if it is relaxing, so no super-exciting books or (study) books that require heavy attention.
Set an alarm and get out of bed. No compromises.
Go to a doctor to determine if you really have Shift Work Sleep Disorder. Self-diagnosing ...
You can improve your skills AND keep your job. You have spare time to learn - use it!
Read up agile methodologies. Write unit tests. Introduce bug database. Etc. Read up Joel Spolsky advice: 12 Steps to Better Code and Getting Things Done When You're Only a Grunt and more.
Use your free time to get certifications in things you're interested in. The goal of certification will drive you and will make sure you're actually thorough. Or change jobs - I quit a very cushy and mostly enjoyable job because I had just been doing the same thing too long. 9 years in my case.
A general answer appropriate to all kinds of jobs is to find activities that improve your working environment, or add quality to your project, or improve your skills. Your project lead or manager should be able to give you guidance as to what would be most useful.
If you're on your own to find useful things and need some ideas, here are some in no ...
What do you do during your breaks? If you surf around or check facebook/reddit, you'll be tempted to continue longer than you ought to. If you take a walk outside, you'll probably not do it for to long, and if you do, it's a more helpful break.
Good breaks: Walks outside, walks inside, coffee break with collegues, eating a snack.
There are two ways how I make myself get back to work after a small break
I know exactly what I am going to do during the break and after I have accomplished wanted I get back straight to work without excuses.
If I do not know exactly what I am doing during the break I set a timer on my phone. And go back to work after it has set off. I found it useful ...
In order to do work, you need to be concentrated. In airplanes the main problem would often be the noise. That is why most people have suggested you get good headphones.
A bit of generalizing and you get: You must find a way to isolate yourself from the surroundings.

If you have a window seat you will never need to stand up until your
flight ...
Choose carefully the kind of work you do on an airplane. I find that tasks involving brainstorming or thoughtful writing or planning are good fits for working while traveling. A GTD style review can be a good fit, if your system is portable. I have found that tasks requiring reference material don't work well, as switching to look at references is hard. ...
Yes, you are destroying your career and you will struggle when the time comes to find a new software engineering position.
In my experience, positions at the more interesting companies (above average salary and working conditions) are interesting in seeing your GitHub account to gauge your skills as a coder as well and demonstrating your enthusiasm in ...
I dislike that part of your speech when you said "I feel like I'm too stupid to learn".

Our bodies are programmed to fight or flight response under stress. Stress makes certain physiological changes in your body, to provide your body with the energy your body is supposed to be using shortly. Your work gives you plenty of stress (and chemicals in your blood) but your lifestyle does not give you enough "fight or flight" workout to use them up.
I read this from a book (Cal Newport - Straight A student)
Write your commitments in a book and if you do not do them when you are supposed to, you need to give a reason why you haven't done it. If it is a good reason, you can rationalize it, but if not you will have to face yourself with writing down a lame reason. Might help kick you into action.

I find working on a plane to be some of the most productive work I do because there are no distractions. What I do:

After that I do another some ...

World War Two: The Rewrite
In 1956 the 18-year-old Kevin Brownlow had an idea for a film: what if Nazi Germany had successfully invaded Britain? It took him eight years to make - with a tiny budget, little equipment and a cast of amateurs - but 'It Happened Here' remains an astonishing and innovative work, using documentary techniques to investigate the subject of collaboration. Neil Norman meets its creator - and finds out why Leni Riefenstahl couldn't bear to watch it
Sunday 23 April 2006
It is one of the most striking scenes in British cinema: Nazi stormtroopers marching through Parliament Square. Clearly designed to alarm and provoke, it is an image that could have been ripped from a WWII Nazi propaganda film.
In actual fact, it is a scene from the 1964 British feature film, It Happened Here. The intervening decades have done little to diminish its worrying, subversive power. Made by debutante director Kevin Brownlow, together with his colleague Andrew Mollo, It Happened Here rewrites history to suggest what might have happened if Britain had been occupied by the Nazis. Through the story of its leading protagonist, nurse Pauline Murray, it tells of partisan resistance to the Vichy-like state, and how survival and compromise can easily slide into collaboration. Shot in black and white, in 16mm and 35mm, in the manner of a documentary, it has the jackbooted kick of authenticity.
It is hard to believe that Brownlow, now a distinguished film historian and the planet's most accomplished film restorer, was just 18 when he began making the film. "I wanted to be the next Orson Welles," he tells me over lunch. "But I never even put on the weight. And I am hopeless at raising money."
Nonetheless, in between collecting old movies and working on documentaries, Brownlow managed to finish his film after eight years. It was a triumph of the amateur will to finish what he'd started.
Quentin Tarantino may have established the idea that film geeks could make movies, but Brownlow got there first. His initiation into the world of celluloid, he recalls, goes back to 1947 and his unhappy days in a Sussex boarding school at the age of 11.
"The only good thing about it was that the headmaster used to show films every third Sunday," he says. "There was no sound so it was always silent movies. We were watching a silent version of Oliver Twist one Sunday and I had sat as close to the projector as I could get. The projector jammed and the film fell out. I picked up a discarded piece of film and later in bed shone a torch through it in the hope of projecting the image onto the wall. That's how technically adept I was."
But the feel of celluloid in his fingers was like a narcotic and Brownlow began collecting old films and showing them to his friends on the projector he eventually received for Christmas. At this stage, he says, he had no ambitions to make movies himself.
"My mother was afraid I'd end up as a projectionist," he says. "She encouraged me to be creative and bought me a camera."
At the time, the teenage Brownlow was steeped in dystopian fiction; he cites Orwell's 1984, the novels of John Wyndham, the Boulting Brothers' film, Seven Days to Noon and Orson Welles' infamous War of the Worlds radio play as possible sources of inspiration behind his debut movie.
Brownlow recalls seeing a black Citroen pull up one day, and a man getting out and running into a shop, turning at the entrance to shout back at his companion in German. The boy began to imagine what England might have been like in an alternative universe - one in which the Nazis had won the war. Drafting a one-page synopsis, he borrowed a 16mm camera and started shooting. There was no script, no money and very little equipment - aside from the borrowed camera which was then stolen on the second day of filming. There were no actors either, Brownlow believing that he could save money by simply asking people in the street and the pub to be in his movie.
It is hard to reconcile the massive chutzpah this must have taken with the endearingly diffident, quietly spoken 67 year-old man sitting opposite me. But the evidence is on film for all to see.
He began with an easy scene: a Nazi rally in Trafalgar Square. Having begged and borrowed uniforms, weapons and regalia, and dressed his "actors", he invaded the 1956 May Day Rally. Needless to say, he and his group of gun-toting, Nazi-uniformed actors were soon being moved along by the local constabulary.
Undeterred, however, Brownlow telephoned the Ministry of Works to secure permission to film in Trafalgar Square. He was, he recalls in his book, How It Happened Here (available to purchase through www. UKApress.com) somewhat economical with the truth about how many "soldiers" would be appearing in the Square.
Still unhappy with the footage, he realised that he needed a technical adviser to deliver the much-needed uniforms for the film. Enter Andrew Mollo, a 16 year-old collector of German militaria, whom Brownlow met at a stall in Portobello Road. Mollo looked at the footage and told him it was all wrong. "Andrew was the one who convinced me of the absolute need for authenticity," he says.
Working as a team, Brownlow and Mollo then spent the next eight years snatching their moments to complete their film. The odds were stacked against them: actors came and went; locations changed, money was always tight, cameras jammed, film was ruined by labs, the public were intrusive - especially when seeing Nazi uniforms in London streets.
"One civilian threw a cup of tea at an extra who was dressed as a Nazi officer," he recalls, "which was an odd thing to do." Terribly British, though.
Above all, attempting to maintain continuity was a nightmare. "The leading lady ages from 35 to 40 in one cut, I notice," says Brownlow, with a rueful smile.
On one occasion, he found himself filming a squad of Wehrmacht troops marching along a London street with speakers blaring out German marching songs to keep everyone in step.
"We were marching past John Profumo's house, who was the Minister for War at the time. This was a few months before the Keeler scandal broke. His butler came out of the house to inquire about the noise." Boy, did he get a surprise.
To make matters even more difficult for himself, Brownlow cast genuine members of the National-Socialist party as British Fascists in the film to heighten authenticity. This led directly to one of his biggest headaches after the film was completed. The fact that he allowed leading Nazi idealogue Frank Bennett, along with two other British fascists, to expound their philosophy in a lengthy discussion with the principal players, led many to believe that the film was Nazi propaganda.
The Jewish Chronicle railed against the filmmakers and the film's ultimate distributor, United Artists, insisted that the six-minute scene be taken out. Despite a petition from a distinguished group of UK critics, who had seen the film and assessed its worth, UA enforced their ruling and the scene was removed. It has subsequently been restored for the new DVD version (Film First) and one can see how crucial it is to the film's argument.
"I thought they condemned themselves out of their own mouths," says Brownlow of the scene, which was difficult to shoot. "You could have cut the tension with a knife," he recalls. "All of us were utterly appalled. Frank Bennett knew what we were doing so he felt he had a platform for his views. The other one was simply an exhibitionist."
The faux Nazi newsreel footage of the occupation and a Christmas Day incident - in the First World War when the opposing sides laid down their arms and played a game of football in the mud - are wonderful examples of DIY recreations and thoroughly convincing. So convincing was the newsreel footage, in fact, that when Leni Riefenstahl came for a visit and started to watch the roughcut she asked Brownlow to turn it off.
"She couldn't look at it," he says with genuine regret, "so I never got the reaction of someone closest to it."
After eight years and many more incidents - which are chronicled in the book - the film finally made it on to the big screen in 1966 where it performed well, though not well enough, according to the creative accounting of United Artists. Although he made one other feature, the English Civil War movie, Winstanley, which took almost half as long, Brownlow retired from the fray of feature directing to concentrate on film restoration, documentaries and his books. Even now, one senses that his directorial career was nipped in the bud.
"If we hadn't made this film it is possible I might be making feature pictures today," he says. "First, we made a film for what most filmmakers spend on their main titles. An iconoclast does not gain entry into the cathedral. Second, it made no money, apparently. Third, I got a reputation for being anti-Semitic, which didn't help. Finally, one thing I've found as an historian is that, if you are going to ask for a great deal of money on a risk, you have to give reassurance to a producer. Directors need to look like Alan Parker, Orson Welles, Victor Fleming. A scrawny, bespectacled individual does not inspire confidence."
If Brownlow is being hard on himself, it's his way of dealing with the disappointment. "I did have the desire to direct very strongly," he says. "But, after a while, you put concrete over your ideas because it's too painful."
His recognition, awards and plaudits have come as a result of his other work - as a restorer of silent movies (from Napoleon to The Phantom of the Opera) he is unsurpassed; his knowledge and historical perspective of the industry's early days have resulted in works of tremendous erudition. Yet It Happened Here occupies a unique place in British cinema history. Brownlow and Mollo's amateur epic easily holds its own with similar verite works like Cavalcanti's Went the Day Well? and Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers; it inspired Peter Watkins (who worked on IHH) to make The War Game and Culloden.
A few months ago, Brownlow, ever the curious and inquisitive film historian, was intrigued to learn of a previously unheard of Nazi propaganda film that had been discovered among the collection of Fritz Hippler, Reich Film Intendant, which was aired on Italian television station Rai 3. Entitled The Conquest of London 1941, it contained footage apparently shot by Nazis in London. Eager to see the film for himself, Brownlow recently received a tape from a friend.
One can only imagine his surprise when he stuck it in his video recorder to discover that the entire film consisted of footage looted from It Happened Here. Brownlow then made a couple of polite phone calls to ascertain whether or not they might pay him some, er, money, for the use of his film. The Italian television company refused. They didn't even apologise.
Somebody please get this man a lawyer, for God's sake.

Many men seeking plastic surgery do so to remain competitive in the job market, observers have found. "In a marketplace where looking fit, younger and more masculine is imperative, the better you look, the better your chances of ascending the corporate ladder," said plastic surgeon Douglas Steinbrech, who has a website geared exclusively toward men seeking plastic surgery. Liposuction, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty and reduction mammoplasty top the list of procedures men seek most, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Wuthering Heights, Linbury Studio, Royal Opera House, London
Considered as a possible dance adaptation, Wuthering Heights is a daunting prospect. Emily Brontë's novel is famous for its driven characters and brooding power, but it also has a rambling, jumpy narrative, stuffed with intricate relationships. Cathy Marston's new dance version strips down the novel, simplifying the plot. But the stylised choreography and designs smooth away contrasts between characters. Despite some atmospheric moments, Marston is a long way from Brontë's Romantic fury.
Jann Messerli's set is a spare evocation of the novel's moorland setting. Dark, angled shapes suggest hills and houses. Overhead, horizontal rods suggest lowering clouds. Dorothee Brodrück's costumes are similarly stylised, with little sense of period: Cathy wears a short, light dress and leggings.
The designs are non-specific but atmospheric. When the choreography takes the same approach, however, it comes across as vagueness. Marston shows Cathy surrounded by the men in her life, trying to keep a grip on her soulmate Heathcliff, on her stepbrother, on her husband. The characters circle each other, clasping hands or pulling away, yearning from opposite ends of the stage.
Though Gary Marshall broods away as Heathcliff, his steps are rarely wilder or fiercer than anybody else's. Only his violent dance with Isabella has any sense of anger to set him apart from the politeness of the Linton family.
It can be hard to tell her characters apart, particularly since Marston also adds "echoes" of Cathy and Heathcliff, extra dancers who act out their emotions. The echo effect can be striking – but it does increase the numbers of hard-to-identify characters on stage.
The score is by Dave Maric, who sets Mich Gerber's double bass, played live, against electronic samples of the same instrument. It creates a soundscape of sweeping lines, knocks and scribbles that suggest howling gales.
Performances are light in tone – not surprisingly, given their setting and choreography. Jenny Tattersall dances Cathy with focus, her attentive movement suggesting the character's fixations. Chien-Ming Chang and Hui-Chen Tsai, as Linton and his sister Isabella, do well as cooler characters drawn into the turmoil of Cathy and Heathcliff's relationships – even if the turmoil itself is underplayed in this production.

Florida Evens Series With 7-3 Win Over Gamecocks
March 26, 2005 Gainesville, Fla. - Adam Davis went 3-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI as 11th ranked Florida evened its series with sixth ranked South Carolina in a 7-3 win over the Gamecocks on Saturday evening at McKethan Stadium. Saturday's game was played following a three hour and 31 minute rain delay. Tommy Boss picked up his fourth win of the season with Zac McCamie losing his first career game at Carolina. McCamie is now 5-1 on the year and 12-1 in his career at USC. The Gators are now 18-7 on the year and 2-3 in the SEC while the loss drops Carolina to 19-4 and 2-3 as well in the conference. Boss worked five 1/3 innings to improve to 4-1 on the year. The senior right-hander allowed two runs, one earned on eight hits with two strikeouts and no walks allowed. McCamie went five 2/3 innings and allowed four runs, three earned on six hits with nine strikeouts and four walks, both season-highs for McCamie. The Gamecocks struck first with a run in the top of the third inning. Chris Brown extended his hitting streak to six games with a one-out single and advanced to third base on a base hit from Steve Pearce. Brown would score the first run on a sacrifice fly by Jon Willard. Florida would tie the game in the bottom half with an unearned run off McCamie. Steven Tolleson fielded a two-out grounder by Adam Davis but threw high of first base allowing Davis to reach and Gavin Dickey to score. McCamie got himself out of a bases loaded jam in the inning coaxing Matt LaPorta into a line drive out to left fielder Davy Gregg preserving the 1-1 score.
The Gators would take their first lead of the game in the fourth inning though with three runs off McCamie. Justin Tordi collected a one-out single and advanced to third base on a two-out single from Brandon McArthur. McCamie walked Jeff Corsaletti to load the bases and allowed a bases loaded walk to Stephen Barton giving the Gators a one-run cushion. Florida went ahead 4-1 on a double from Adam Davis to right center. Davis' double just went out of the glove of a charging Brendan Winn to score McArthur and Corsaletti.
USC would creep to within one run in the sixth inning taking advantage of two Gator fielding errors. Willard led off the inning with a single and advanced to second base on a throwing error by first baseman Matt LaPorta trying to complete a force out at second. Willard would score on the next play as a sharp hit grounder by Brendan Winn went through the legs of third Brandon McArthur. Tommy King would score the third Gamecock run on a pinch hitter Ryan Mahoney's one-out sacrifice fly to left field. The Gators broke open the game in the eighth inning with three runs off USC reliever Brent Marsh. Davis his third RBI of the day with a single and would also score on a passed ball by Ian Paxton in the eighth inning. South Carolina and Florida complete the three-game series on Sunday afternoon with first pitch set for 1 p.m. Carolina will send senior RHP Jason Fletcher to the mound with Florida countering with junior RHP Alan Horne. Live audio and live statistics will be available at www.uscsports.com. Tommy Moody and Tom Price will call the action on the South Carolina Radio Network including WISW AM 1320 in Columbia, S.C. |
