Not all Dads are the same
... When the kids have all gone through the queue, I realise Ya is still not back yet. I say to Channat that maybe we should dish some for Sokhea so she doesn't miss out and we head down to her house to see if we can find a bowl and cup. We tip toe in as not to wake her and at the back of the house I get the fright of my life to see a pair of eyes on me. When I say hello, his eyes don't even move and for a few seconds I think he is dead so I keep calling ...

Baby Ria continues to sleep and thrive. We never hear her apart from when she is wanting to be fed which is a little cry and at bath time when it is a BIG cry. She hates her bath and I don't blame her. When I first heard this big cry and went through to see if I could assist, I was surprised to find she was only being bathed. I ...

... at S21 the skies open and we are greeted by the daily monsoonal downpour. Quite fitting really as this a very sombre sobering place. It's where the innocent people were taken by the Khmer Rouge and interrogated and tortured into confessing to things they knew nothing about. More often than not they would be sent to the killing fields in the end regardless. There are rooms full of photos of those that were held captive ...

- Baileys Frosting:
- 3 to 4 cups confections sugar
- 1 stick (1/2 cup or 4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 to 4 tablespoons Baileys (or milk, or heavy cream, or a combination thereof)
- Make the frosting: Whip the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer for several minutes. You want to get it very light and fluffy. Slowly add the powdered sugar, a few tablespoons at a time. [add the sugar slowly, quick buttercream frostings got less grainy, and tended to require less sugar to thicken them up.] When the frosting looks thick enough to spread, drizzle in the Baileys and whip it until combined. If this has made the frosting too thin (it shouldn't, but just in case) beat in another spoonful or two of powdered sugar.

It's been almost three months and my love affair deepens by the day. It was a slow burner to start and I felt put upon and drained of my time and energy. Then came the compliments, and an awareness of the physical changes in me. Finally like the season, I blossomed and developed a full blown crush….. on my hair (what else would I have been talking about?) Though it hasn't been plain sailing; indeed quite the contrary.
Exercise is not my friend, it is my enemy. The problem is my somewhat rotund physique ensures the gym is a necessary evil I must endure to curtail the inevitable onset of obesity. What was once an unpleasant task of a twice weekly exercise regime, in the days of braids, where I'd invest in sweetly scented sprays, sheens and oils to mask the smell of sweat (grimace but you know it's the truth) and slept after a quick blow dry; has become an arduous rigmarole since the onset of natural hair. Now my hair is no doubt cleaner thanks to my twice weekly washes, deep conditioning, nightly twist outs and detangling. There is however the bitter joy in the morning, trying to style an uncontrollable mop of angry hair still to fully dry out from the night before.
I am a member of an infamous gym, regarded as such for its diabolical customer service, 1990s music videos on repeat (God forbid they play music that featured since the millennium), moody staff, faulty machinery, broken air con machine; dilapidated crumbling walls, changing facilities that smell of rotting animal and a general sub standard service. Its sole reason for continued trade is its proximity to public transport, lack of viable competition and that it's located in a poor neighbourhood where people don't feel empowered enough to write letters of complaint and report them to the papers.
It's summer, I've gained a few too many pounds and now sporting the tiny afro, more of my face is on display and the chubby cheeks, cute age 11, aren't a redeeming feature on a 30 year old single woman looking for a man.
It is funny how little notice I've taken of other women and their hair dilemmas in the past – that's because braids weren't threatened by exercise, in fact they embraced it. But now with every bead of sweat, I know I'll be punished; forced to spend what should be sleep time reviving my inconsolable hair, so I watch with avid interest to see how the other ladies manage.
There's the girl with the hard face who only smiles when there are men in the vicinity, whose relaxed short crop is so newly permed you can smell the chemical relaxer oozing from her pores as she sensually struts on the cross trainer (often in very short shorts - which she clearly customised from a previously respectable pair of trousers and a circa 1990 crop top). She once proudly proclaimed that she avoided sweating to save her hair. It seems her inspiration for exercise is less the working out and more the working men.
There is the beautiful Nigerian girl with the trendy long weave, who loves her hair as much as life itself. You can tell by her incessant stroking and touching, whipping her head at every opportunity for the most grandiose effect. With every bounce of that hair, you can see her jubilation and heightened sense of worth. She relies on a bandana, but there's so much hair, I'm not sure how effective it proves. We once talked about going natural – before I actually did it - and how we'd manage with all the exercise. She looked me straight in the eye and without even the faintest hint of irony, proclaimed with pride that her hair was indeed natural. She mustn't have seen her natural hair for more than fifteen minutes every four weeks for the last ten years. That's the time in-between weaves when she'd wash it, quickly cover it in a baseball cap and run to the salon hoping nobody spots her on the bus.
Then there's the ultimate embodiment of fitness herself. She's on the treadmill running effortlessly at a pace you hoped only sub human athletes (high on dope) ran at. Her natural tight curls (never wrapped, just free to bounce in the wind), has not even a strand out of place and where sweat ought to be running down her face (as mine is so fast it momentarily blinds me causing me to trip and hit my head with such force the staff run to my aid), her precision perfect make up glows flawlessly, radiating the perfection of her soul. Compared to the women who refuse to exert any real energy for fear of their hair becoming embroiled in sweat, this light skinned Zimbabwean beauty runs as though she's possessed. She sports a lycra two piece, sculpting her J-Lo butt and six pack. Me on the other hand, I wear a t-shirt with jogging bottoms a size too big to accommodate for the 'guddush' 'guddush' movement of my arse defying the laws of gravity every time I run.
The most interesting sight to behold for me, remains the assortment of head gear proudly on display. The scarves, bandanas, do-rags, even tights are all tightly wrapped round women's heads to contain the beast within. Most shocking was the shower cap (not in the steam room, as one may reasonably assume, but on the treadmill). The woman had conditioned her locks, put on her cap and was pounded the treadmill for the ultimate deep conditioning steam.
The end of my workout beckons and I drag myself to the mat area to endure the mandatory five minute waste of time, abs session. Shocked by the sight in the mirror, my once substantial afro has shrunk to an unrecognisable half-inch, reminding me of the African school girls I so regularly mistake for boys, but for the mandatory dangle of gold earrings to remind you they are female. I am wearing no earrings. Full steam ahead I go. Dropping to the mat and rising again like a deranged jack in the box. Then out of nowhere, a man stands directly behind me, he pays me no mind (he mistakes me for a boy) and with no shame or even the hint of humour, lifts his top up, tenses his abs and gawks at his own reflection. He turns from side to side, getting a good view from every profile and after a full five minutes (which is a long time to stare at yourself in a public forum) he drops his t-shirt, gives himself a smile and saunters off, without a glimpse of embarrassment.
Spent from an exhausting session of exercise and people watching, I trudge home where the real work of rectifying my hair begins!...

Ripoff Report
Teleperformance ASD4680 Conference Way Boca Raton, Florida USA
Teleperformance ASD Favoritism Over Professionalism Boca Raton Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I've been at Teleperformance (Sprint Account) for over a year. I am overwhelmed with the amount of unprofessionalism, rudeness and favoritism that goes on in this place. I must say when you walk into the Boca office, the recruiting department makes you feel like you've struck gold but as soon as training starts it's a whole other world.
My training was conducted by a young girl who NEVER spoke proper english. A few of my training mates wondered how she managed to get the position. Though the training material was helpful, we were better off being sent home early with pay versus the time we wasted during down time. The class conversations were not about sprint and often very sexual, childish and sad. This trainer did leave the company- wasn't fired- but chose to leave.
I realized really quickly that in order to make it at TP, you have to 'get in good' with someone who is already up the ladder. Credentials mean nothing. It's who you know and who you're screwing. I've seen where someone was offered a position, then weeks later while she was already training for it, the position was posted for others to apply (just so they can't say it was never posted) and the job went to the person it was originially saved for. When I spoke to the person, she said the interview was a joke but they had to have something on paper. I won't give her name away because at least when she got her position, she really did work fairly. However, there's a woman named Carol who was promoted from my account to an ATT account as a supposed supervisor. Ever since her promotion, she has just been walking around every morning saying hello to everyone at Sprint and ATT, disappears, and comes back at the end of the shift to say goodnight. I have seen her in the parking lot in her car on the phone before I leave for lunch and when I return . I have friends at ATT & when i made this comment, they have noticed this too. They've even mentioned that she doesnt have a team. So why is she a supervisor?
I have witnessed someone get fired for smelling like marijuana. Besides the fact that he was not drug tested, he was told he was being let go because he failed his initial drug test. He admitted that he had it on him and that is why he smelled like it but had not tried it ever. He was holding it for someone else on the account. What bothers me most about his incident is that I know the supervisor and ACM that got him fired personally and they smoke weed regularly.
There's so much more but I still work for them so I'll stop here. I just wish someone would do something about this! Does corporate even care? I guess I can contact them next and see. I know HR doesnt.

SUBMITTED: Thursday, September 18, 2014POSTED: Thursday, September 18, 2014
Couldn't agree with you more. Was there for several years only to make one mistake and was let go. I thought honesty was part of the "five" values with teleperformance (using another word for integrity). One good thing i can say about that place is i made a lot of great friends whom i still keep in contact with til this day. The place sucks, the job sucks, but some of the people you will meet will be unforgettable. I took was on the sprint account, however; i worked at the location in North Lauderdale.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Why we all need to be aware of our genes
Over the years I have been privileged to meet and interview many families affected by genetic conditions. And back in February I told you how the daughter of one of my friends was born with a rare genetic disorder. It's a topic very close to my heart, and I know many of yours as well.
But of course it's not just rare disorders that are affected by genes. Breast cancer, Alzheimer's, heart disease and diabetes are just a few of the conditions which can be hereditary, and recent evidence from scientists at Cardiff University suggests ADHD may have a genetic link as well.
That's why I'm supporting the Genetic Alliance UK, a national alliance of organisations with a membership of over 130 charities supporting children, families and individuals by ensuring that high quality services and information are available to all who need them.
And you can also support the Genetic Alliance via KidStart – by donating your savings to the charity. It's incredibly simple to do. Just click here for more info.

One Response to Why we all need to be aware of our genes
This is a very interesting post, Liz. As you know I have epilepsy and Amy is autistic, and it has been suggested over the years that there is a very fine line between the two. It is common for an autistic adolescent to develop epilepsy especially if it already runs in the family. Amy's biological father has a history of mental illness in her family which could account for Amy's autism. But this can never be proved, it's only assumptions if you like. However, we try not to think about it morbidly. CJ xx

From the City of Philadelphia Department of Public Health, Tuberculosis Control Program, and the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Allegheny University of the Health Sciences, Philadelphia, PA.
Bruce L. Davidson, MD, MPH, 301 S. 19th St, Philadelphia, PA 19103; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
1998 by the American College of Chest Physicians
Study objectives: To compare treatment completion rates at 8 and 12 months after treatment initiation for patients with active TB treated with either directly observed therapy (DOT) or self-administered therapy (SAT).
Design: Retrospective comparison study of DOT and SAT concurrent patient cohorts.
Setting: Urban Tuberculosis Control Program within a Department of Public Health.
Patients: Three hundred nineteen patients confirmed to have active TB between July 1, 1994, and June 30, 1995, who began outpatient drug therapy.
Interventions: Patients and/or their physicians chose to receive their anti-TB drug therapy by DOT (n=113) or SAT (n=206) and were assessed for treatment completion at prospectively determined times, 8 and 12 months.
Measurements and results: Proportions of patients who completed treatment at 8 and 12 months without crossing over to the other group were compared. At 8 months, 52% of DOT and 35% of SAT patients had completed treatment (relative superiority of DOT, 49%; p=0.003). At 12 months, completion rates were 70% for DOT patients and 53% for SAT patients (relative superiority of DOT, 30%; p=0.006).
Conclusions: In our setting, patients receiving DOT were much more likely to complete treatment earlier than those receiving SAT. Even with DOT, only 52% of patients had completed treatment by 8 months.

Today, Akademy 2014 kicked off hard. As always, there is a lot of excitement. The first Akademy day is always overwhelming. Meeting old friends, making new ones, learning new things and sharing what you know. To keep things simpler, we started this year with a single track in the morning, with two tracks in the afternoon. With all attendees in one room listening to 10 minute fast track presentations, there are plenty of topics to talk about during the breaks.
Yesterday KDE contributors from around the world arrived in Brno for Akademy, our annual meeting. Over the next week, we will share ideas, discover common problems and their solutions, and rekindle offline friendships for another year. We have traveled from around the world to work on free software in the spirit of community and cooperation. This year we can celebrate the success of the last 12 months when we released major new versions of our platform—KDE Frameworks—and our desktop—Plasma 5. This work has been well received by the press and our community of users, but we know there is much more to do to keep KDE Software relevant for the years to come in a world where desktops are only one way of using computer software. We'll be discussing and planning how to make the best desktop software for Linux and how to expand to new platforms.
Akademy is a non-commercial event, free of charge for all who want to attend. Generous sponsor support helps make Akademy possible. Most of the Akademy budget goes towards travel support for KDE community members from all over the world, contributors who would not be able to attend the conference otherwise. The wide diversity of attendees is essential to the success of the annual in-person Akademy conference. Many thanks to Akademy 2014 sponsors
At Akademy 2014, outgoing KDE e.V. Board President Cornelius Schumacher will give the community keynote. He has attended every Akademy and has been amazed and inspired at every one of them. If you want more of what KDE can bring to your life, Cornelius's talk is the perfect elixir.
In this week's KDE Commit-Digest:
Two years have passed since the reality of the first Latin American meeting of KDE contributors in 2012 in Porto Alegre, capital of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Now we are proud to announce that the second LaKademy will be held August 27th to 30th in São Paulo, Brazil, at one of the most important and prestigious universities in the world—the University of São Paulo.
The KDE Community has announced the latest major updates to KDE Applications delivering primarily improvements and bugfixes. Plasma Workspaces and the KDE Development Platform are frozen and receiving only long term support; those teams are focused on the transition to Plasma 5 and Frameworks 5. This 4.14 release is dedicated to long time KDE contributor Volker Lanz who passed away last April. The full announcement has more information and details.
KDE Frameworks 5 is the result of two years of hard work porting, tidying, modularizing and refactoring KDELibs4 into a new addition to the Qt 5 platform. In January, Alex Fiestas announced The KDE Barcelona Hub—an office where anyone is welcome to come and work on KDE projects. It was just what the Frameworks team needed to finish off the code so it could be released to the world. Read on for some of what happened.
KDE is now getting into the swing of releases numbered 5. Today we add Plasma 5's first bugfix update. The release features KDE's flagship desktop project as well as the base software needed to keep your computer running. Plasma will have feature releases every three months and bugfix releases in the months in between.
This update adds all the translations for the last month as well as a bunch of fixes for issues such as using the right icons, showing toolbars on second screens, using translations and fixes for right to left text. Grab your distro packages or you can try the new Kubuntu Plasma 5 images.

Item description for Why Good is Good: The Sources of Morality by Robert A. Hinde...Where did our moral beliefs come from? While theologians and scientists offer different and often conflicting answers, this book offers a multidiscplinary approach, drawing on psychology, philosophy, evolutionary biology and social anthropology to explore the historical origins of our moral codes. In our rapidly changing and increasingly complex modern world, we are bombarded with the moral challenges raised by issues such as genetic modification, increasing consumerism and globalization. Robert A. Hinde argues that an understanding of morality's origins can clarify the debates surrounding these contemporary ethical dilemmas. He focuses on the interplay between individuals and the cultures in which they live, in order to demonstrate that moral beliefs depend on the interactions within a society, which shape and are also influenced by the values and norms of the society's structure. On this view of morality, moral codes are neither carved in stone nor freely unconstrained - the changing of moral precepts over time reflects a continuing dialectic between what people do and what they are supposed to do.

SailNet Community (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/)
- Pearson (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/pearson/)
- - Prop Shaft Offset (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/pearson/106849-prop-shaft-offset.html)
Prop Shaft Offset
We're having a debate on the Peaaron 323 owners site. Two boats of a similar vintage (late 70s), one has a prop shaft offset to port, the other to starboard. The latter has just had an engine repower.
My question is, how is the shaft offset typically managed? Is this something which is permanently molded into the hull, or can the offset me made by shifting the engine on its mounts, and adjusting the position of the shaft strut? Is it possible that during the repower the yard offset the prop shaft incorrectly?
Re: Prop Shaft Offset
The shaft log, engine beds, and propeller strut are positioned in a line from the get-go.. if I'm understanding your question correctly, an engine repower, nor a realignment, couldn't change the designer/builders' original intentions.
Plenty of boats have propshafts off centerline.. C&C 30, Mirage 33, Ontario 32, as examples.. not sure if this is done to try to offset propwalk, address torque issues or if it's simply a way to make everything fit around the interior...
Are you saying that two similar vintage Pearsons are 'opposite'?? If so there must have been a factory mod during the production run.. are the interiors otherwise identical?
Re: Prop Shaft Offset
Thanks (as always) Faster, that answers my question.
Yes, that appears to be the case - that two boats have "opposite" offsets - thus we are all puzzled. We currently have 3 datapoints which appear to contradict each other hull#42 reports port, #68 starboard, #212 port. Gotta be a mistake somewhere. Other folk are intending to check their offset as access allows.
Hull #68 is having serious propwalk problems since their repower, we're trying to work out why.
One possibility that Gasoline was standard, diesel optional; I wonder is they had different offsets for different engines? The Atomic 4 boat uses RH props, and diesels tend to be LH...
(The P323 (as I am sure you know) has a skeg mounted rudder, thus the offset)
Thanks again!
Re: Prop Shaft Offset
Seems odd that they'd change it twice during a production run... Any chance Hull 68 was facing aft and got confused ;) (no offense)
Was a repropping part of the repower?.. Also I suppose that if the new shaft rotation is opposite, and it works 'with' the offset rather than 'against' that might increase the effect?
Love for Bob Perry to weigh in on the reasons/rationale for offset shafts.. as he did himself with the Mirage...
Re: Prop Shaft Offset
No offense taken :-) Mistake could have been me (#212), but I need to dive on the old girl to double check.
I think this guy is in a bad spot. The rotation would indeed appear to have reversed - he had a LH prop, now has a RH prop. I have asked him what engine he has because most diesels in a 323 have LH props (I think). So I have the same thought - offset + reversed rotation = a problem.
Re: Prop Shaft Offset
If the engine spec's changed during the manufacturing run, the direction of engine rotation might have been changed. While prop-shaft off-sets were rarely used to counter the effect of prop-walk, if an off-set was necessary or advisable for other reasons, selecting the side for the off-set to also account for prop-walk affect would have been logical. Hopefully the direction of rotation of the re-power matches the engine it replaced, eh?
Re: Prop Shaft Offset
That's what I was wondering - whether the new engine spins the prop shaft in the same direction as the old engine. As I understand it, the offset is an attempt to address prop walk by changing the angle at which thrust occurs. If the guy just had his engine replaced with one that spins the prop shaft in the opposite direction (as evidenced by the need for the new prop), that would amplify the prop walk, rather than reducing it.
If the assertion above (gas spins one way, diesel the other) is true, that could explain how it happened that the owner wound up with an engine that "wasn't set up properly" for his boat. Assuming that's the case, is there something that could be put in the drive train to cause the shaft to spin "properly"? Could the owner go back to the original prop but "just" run in reverse all the time? I'm not sure how the transmission would like being run in reverse, but...
Re: Prop Shaft Offset
"As I understand it, the offset is an attempt to address prop walk by changing the angle at which thrust occurs."
Jimgo, you make good points,..but as for the offset, FYI the principal reason for it on the P323 is not for the propwalk, but the fact that that the rudder is mounted on a skeg. Most boats with skeg-mounted designs have the propshaft offset, otherwise you could not remove the shaft! Reducing propwalk is a side-benefit, not the objective.
I am guessing he will have a talk with the yard which did the repower. I don't know what can be done - and how running an engine mainly in reverse effects the warranty!
This is a weird one.

The challenge of A Home That Fits is very tangible. More than 1,000 young people in Helsinki under the age of 25 are without a regular home. The project seeks to develop new, long-term methods to help solve the problem of youth homelessness. The project's goal is to enable every young person in Helsinki to have a home of their own by 2018.
Because the problem is a complex one, the solution to it requires a collaborative effort. A Home That Fits invites all actors involved in youth homelessness to join forces. In addition to the City of Helsinki Youth Department, the problem solvers include the Nuorisoasuntoliitto youth housing association, the Y-Foundation and many City of Helsinki departments. These actors reflect on the problem together and share information.
Design is used in the project to find alternative solutions to youth homelessness through experimentation. Prototypes are used to tackle the problem from multiple angles. Young people themselves play a major role in the project. They join the project to develop new ways to find answers to youth homelessness.
Home That Fits is a project that produces new ways to act. The project is divided into four sections. In the initial stage of the project, all actions are built around experimentation.
1.Youth phenomena and youth groups
We first need to understand what youth homelessness means. We utilize research data, and we interview young people and others who work with young people. A youth think tank generates new ideas and alternatives for living.
2.The City and partners
How can the City solve youth homelessness together with private actors, different communities and the third sector? This stage involves various experiments: communal living pilot projects with the City of Helsinki housing company HEKA, and pilot projects to convert empty City spaces for temporary uses and to turn unused office space into residential space.
3.Influencing decision makers
In cooperation with young people, the project seeks to raise youth homelessness to general awareness and to public discourse with the Finnish Parliament and other decision makers.
4.Compiling information
How have other cities around the world solved problems related youth housing?
2 Observation
"I'm motivated by a sense of real impact, that something can be done and that young people are really heard. To not just be a decoration item."
The initiative "A Home That Fits" brings out the voice of young people through think tank style work.
The first meet-up gathered together ten young people from all over Helsinki between the ages of 15 and 22. A big concern in the talks was: Am I taken seriously? We convinced them that they are the key figures in our initiative, and that only together can we create new, successful structures to tackle youth homelessness.
"Public housing is hard to get, living is expensive and some don't get along with their parents anymore. It's a 'nothing to lose' attitude."
There are many reasons for the difficult housing situation of young people, and in all, the amount of reasons is overwhelming. Young people pinpoint these reasons easily. Their friends have had many good and bad experiences regarding housing solutions.
"Things can only change by caring."
Money is not a driving factor for young people to participate in the group. They clearly pointed out their wish to help other young people. Some wished to find a housing solution for themselves through the group.
"A good atmosphere."
Nobody wants to do something out of their own free will if it is not something fun, or if the atmosphere is not inspiring. The young participants also look forward to gaining experience through the housing experiments in the initiative.
"A Home That Fits" looks for answers to homelessness among people under 25 years of age in Helsinki.
3 Ideas
The observation and background research helped to shape the problem further. The City Designer and the rest of the team were guided by, for example, the following thoughts:
- There is no single solution to a structural problem of such a huge scale
- The group of problem solvers needs to cross borders
- The aim is not a new process, but rather a new organisational culture and structure
- There is a clear wish for new practices
The question of youth homelessness was addressed through different alternative solutions by experiments and testing. The role of the City Designer is to support experimental methods and the ideation and construction of different action models. The task of the designer is to understand dependencies, established models, barriers of change, behaviours and social relations. New solutions can be found when the logic of the system is changed, for instance, through experiments.
An experiment-based project is no easy task for any organisation, especially for city offices that are stereotypically hierarchical and stiff. This is due to, for example, the following reasons:
- Experiments require boldness and tolerance to uncertainty.
- Experiments must be safe and easy.
- Experiments require preparation time.
- Experiments require strong commitment and clear ownership.
A Home That Fits has a clear home base at the City of Helsinki's Youth Department, a public office with an admirable organisational culture that is perfect for fostering a culture of experimentation.
- The organisation works together with young people: social skills and tolerance to uncertainty are inbuilt features.
- The management is highly committed to solving the problem and to benefit from the experiments: the organisation has set aside working hours for this project
- The organisation has a natural sense of empathy and an ability to understand the customer, meaning that they take young people seriously and listen to them.
- The organisation seeks out partners very boldly and actively: there is now a wide and committed network of professionals dealing with the project
In short, the ideation phase was successful due to a favourable working environment and supportive attitudes. As in many city initiatives, funding can only be applied for after the ideation phase. The budget for A Home That Fits was secured only in December 2014, so the ideation and planning steps were taken without financial security.
The most central ideas guiding the next phases in the project are:
- Let's forget about the huge structural scale of the problem and focus on smaller-scale solutions.
- Let's listen to young people and take them seriously.
- Let's use the experiments to prove to other organisations that making changes is not difficult.
- Let's bring the topic into public debate through the experiments.
4 Plan
The action plan for A Home That Fits is based on five experiments, of which three will be started during 2015.
1) The company in charge of Helsinki's city rental housing, HEKA, will join to start a pilot on communal living through converting an empty apartment space into a housing unit. Converting business spaces and other empty spaces into communal living units for young people is a sub-project that is developed stage by stage.
2) The Youth Department's summer activity centre in Vartiosaari will host a test run on seasonal living. The trial combines three aspects: housing solutions for youth in difficult situations, vocational studies, and hobby activities. The young participants will work at the activity centre and reside in Vartiosaari over the summer. The work is a part of their curriculum at the Helsinki Vocational College.
3) Starting a trial combining communal living for senior citizens and young people. A new form of housing for both elderly and young individuals is planned together with the City of Helsinki's Department of Social Services and Healthcare, and with the Helsinki Diakonia College. The aim of the first year is to find a home for 30 young homeless people.
A City Designer will actively participate in each sub-project, with a role in finding new practices and understanding the bigger picture. Co-creation methods allow young people to participate in finding solutions, such as converting empty spaces into housing units, and researching how youth housing can enhance the whole surrounding environment. Design helps to understand which issues impact youth homelessness.
Two more sub-projects are still in the ideation phase, and will be updated on this page as the project develops further. In addition to the five experiments, A Home That Fits will be present at the following events:
13 April: A Home That Fits workshop for young people held at Laituri, organised by the City of Helsinki's Public Works Department
8–15 August: Our House festival for suburban living in the Helsinki metropolitan region
3–13 September: Helsinki Design Week events
17 October: Night of the Homeless, Helsinki
5 Testing
The first three sub-projects of A Home That Fits have been kicked off in spring 2015. The results of the testing will be updated on this page.
In addition to concrete experiments, the initiative also runs other tests, such as co-creation with young people, roles of the partner network, and visualisation methods to address the problem.
6 Execution and lessons
A Home That Fits is shifting to the execution phase of experiments in spring 2015. We will inform more about the execution and lessons of the experiments on this page as the project develops further.
The co-creation with young people was started in spring 2015 and it has found an active continuation together with the City Designer. The participation of young people has been very active when it became clear to them that they are being taken very seriously. Yet, the participation has also been seen as fun. Naturally, it is always wise to keep in mind how much commitment it is reasonable to expect from young people.
Some opinions can already be made on the participation of different organisations, such as that the City of Helsinki's Youth Department's high level of initiative made it possible to include many expert participants to deal with the problem together for the first time. The culture of experimentation was a topic that was accepted positively from early on, and already the first meeting showed that making changes is not as hard as one might have perceived.
A Home That Fits has started off with success, also regarding its aim to visualise the problem. The main participants (City of Helsinki's Youth Department, Design Driven City, the Finnish Youth Housing Association and rental housing organisation Y-Foundation) have announced their aims publicly and also made public the first three experiments. The initiative is also running in social media, and the project has gained visibility for the problem of youth homelessness in Finnish media (e.g. Radio Helsinki, YLE, Helsingin Sanomat).
The project's lessons are updated as the project moves along. In spring 2015 we can

The team placed seventh in qualifying for Sundays Six Hours of The Glen.
FOAMETIX®/Burtin Racing with Goldcrest Motorsports Top Porsche Qualifier and Seventh Overall in GT for Sunday's Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen
No. 17 FOAMETIX/Burtin Racing Porsche GT3 team competing in North American Endurance Championship presented by VISITFLORIDA.com with Claudio Burtin and Martin Ragginger
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (June 30, 2012) – The No. 17 FOAMETIX®/Burtin Racing with Goldcrest Motorsports Porsche GT3 qualified seventh in the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series GT class and clocked in as the fastest Porsche in the starting field Saturday in qualifying for tomorrow's Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen at Watkins Glen International.
The No. 17 FOAMETIX® Porsche is being co-driven this weekend by team owner/driver Claudio Burtin and top European road racing talent Martin Ragginger who handled the qualifying chores for the team on Saturday. Both drivers and the FOAMETIX®/Burtin Racing team are making their Watkins Glen debuts this weekend but it hardly showed in Ragginger's solid qualifying lap time of 1:51.718 (109.562 mph).
"Our car ran well in qualifying and the tires held up," said Goldcrest's Steve Cosgrove. "Other teams are having trouble with rear tires but we haven't experienced it at this point yet. Hopefully that will play into our hand a bit and we'll be good for the race. Our goal will be to stay out of trouble and shoot for a top-five finish."
The No. 17 FOAMETIX® Porsche ran in the top five in the early stages of the season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona in January with Ragginger at the wheel but a punctured radiator just hours into that race and some other typical endurance racing issues didn't take away from a strong performance. Racing to a top-five finish tomorrow is a more than realistic goal but a full field of 21 top level GT competitors will also be taking the green flag.
"It's going to be tough," Cosgrove said. "There are a lot of good cars. You've got Patrick Long and Andy Lally in the Rolex 24 winning Magnus car, Brumos is here too, not to mention the Ferraris and the Mazdas. This is one of the strongest fields I've seen in GRAND-AM in a long time. It's like the Rolex 24 with a lot of stacked cars that are really strong. We just need a clean race, and to let Claudio get his seat time and stay out of trouble. He is still adjusting to the track, and is doing a great job, but it's a really fast track with the Prototypes and the rest of the field. Claudio will just have to keep his eyes open, look in his mirrors, stay out of trouble, and I know he can do it."

Just because you chose Google's Android over every other rendition doesn't mean you should be left out of the wireless fun.
Mophie has concocted a clever solution for those of you who may adore your Pixel XL smartphones, but have been secretly ruing the day you abandoned your wireless charging privileges. The newly released Juice Pack case for the Pixel XL not only tacks on an additional 2950mAh battery, but it also adds Qi wireless charging capabilities.
The Juice Pack offers protective covering and up to 50 hours of additional talk time, claims Mophie. You can charge both the battery pack and the Pixel XL's internal battery via a Qi wireless charging pad, though Mophie also mentions compatibility with "other wireless systems." If you need even faster charging, you can plug in a USB Type-C cable instead and Juice Pack will prioritize re-juicing the Pixel XL first.
Perhaps the only drawback of the Juice Pack is that it tacks on an additional 3.8 ounces to your current load, making…
Considering many high-end phones never get major Android updates, it's always nice to see budget phones continue to be supported. This time around, AT&T's sub-$100 LG Phoenix 2 phone is getting Android 7.0 Nougat.
The phone was released in May 2016, with the specs to match its price – a Snapdragon 210 CPU, 1.5GB of RAM, and a 720×1280 display. Still, now the phone has Android 7.0, which is more than I can say for some brand new phones.

Google! A giant among giants who other giants think are giant (yeah, how's that for writing?) Google's I/O conference this year has been plagued by the specter of yawns from journalists who wonder where all the fun of the previous year has disappeared to. But what were they expecting? It's a developers conference!
I'm Michael Fisher, AKA MrMobile, and while it's not splashy or gadget-heavy, there's a lot to be interested in coming from I/O this year. From simple things like easy ways to save battery life on your smartwatch, to the ease of the Kotlin programming language, to the 50 billion apps a DAY that Google scans for malware, there's a lot of cool things to do. Check out this video and Android Central's coverage of the event for all the reasons you should be excited about what we saw at Google I/O.

Bear Gryll-types and the accident prone: if the Galaxy Active is too much for you, LG's offering a cheaper alternative.
Looking for a rugged device that won't break the bank? LG wants you to consider its second-generation X Venture smartphone. It's made for people who are active and it's cheap enough that, if you're on AT&T, you could probably grab one as a backup simply for adventurous weekends.
The LG X Venture features a 5.2-inch Full HD In-Cell touch display. It runs Android 7.0 Nougat and features IP68 water and dust resistance, a front-facing fingerprint sensor embedded into a physical Home button along with two other physical navigation keys, and a whopping 4100mAh battery. It also comes with a 16-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel wide-angle front-facing camera.
Its other specifications may leave a bit to be desired, however, especially if you're eager for flagship-worthy specs. The X Venture is powered by a low-end Snapdragon 435 processor and 2GB of RAM, …
Nest isn't resting, releasing a fresh indoor camera with new features.
Nest, perhaps known best for its popular smart thermostat, is reportedly ready to refresh its Nest Cam camera with new features and a higher resolution. The Google-owned company most recently refreshed its camera lineup with an outdoor-ready version near the end of 2016.
It's a 4K camera … but you'll only get 1080p out of it in the end.
The new Nest Cam will have a sensor capable of recording in 4K resolution, but will use this new resolution to simply enable dynamic zooming while preserving a 1080p resolution stream to the user. When it detects motion, it will be able to digitally zoom in to a specific point for a better view.
The refreshed hardware will round out with a new USB-C power source, and the lens will get an LED ring around it to indicate it's recording. Android Police claims the design is similar to that of the current Nest Outdoor camera … but the new camera is designed for indoor use. Pr…

Urban Glow
By Trash
Four-piece ''TRASH'' have been causing quite a stir on their local turf since their formation back in 2014, with the young band recently gaining coverage from ample blogs and radio stations, including the likes of BBC Introducing.
After their impressive set at Y Not Festival and Tramlines this summer, TRASH are working their way through the live music circuit, establishing themselves and securing a regular fan base.
After the successful release of their single '4 Miles', it wasn't long until the band revealed their brand new EP, named Urban Glow, marking a new stage in the band's career.
The EP kicks off with their suitably named first track 'Intro'. The first track is soft and seducing, easing the listener into the album like a welcoming hand. '4 Miles', is the second track on the EP, the softness is retained, however joined by a fast paced drumbeat, contrasting with the sleepy first track 'Intro'.
Track three; 'Drift' starts out with a sense of shyness. The plucking of a guitar seeps out, before a burst of bouncing drums and melancholic lyrics take centre stage. More than half way through the EP, I can safely say 'TRASH' don't disappoint. In the eyes of an indie Cindy, I would go as far as saying they are an essential listen.
Alas, on track four I am met with title-track 'Urban Glow'. The sombre tone continues throughout, uncovering a sense of restlessness and dejection. The floaty chorus is hypnotising, making me press repeat immediately.
Last but not least on the 5-track EP is 'Sad boys'. Again, the title is rather obvious. 'Sad boys' is definitely a break up song, retaining the same hazy melodies found in the rest of the EP. Dreamy guitar riffs and gentle vocals ease the listener into the song, before the catchy chorus ''It's over now, it's over now'' kicks in demanding attention, as the familiar fast-paced drumbeat joins in.
The whole album provokes a feeling of empathy. The lyrics aren't particularly happy, but gentle and dreamy, telling a story of desire and in some cases, despair. It's obvious the lyrics are very personal, but don't be put off, some of the best albums known are full of misery! This EP is infectious and I will definitely be keeping an eye out for these guys.

Overstaffed at city hall
Brainerd City Administrator's office has been overstaffed for years. The accounts payable clerk has resigned.
Why did six of seven council members vote to fill this position without conducting a feasibility study to see why it is necessary to have one employee doing the accounts payable and another employee doing bi-monthly payroll for 70 city staff? Why not find out if it would be cheaper to out-source the work of these two employees to a private firm. The payroll cost of these two employees is about $100,000 annually.
In 2010 eight employees were compensated for early retirement. Replacement staff wasn't hired. The services provided to the citizens didn't decline and all necessary work with fewer employees has been accomplished.
Payroll expenditures were reduced over $500,000 annually.
Example: There were three secretaries in the Planning, Inspections and Engineering Departments before 2010. Two secretaries are now providing the needed service and work is being accomplished and service to citizens hasn't declined.
The recreations coordinator has retired at the Park Department, over 50 percent of the participants in the sports programs are non-residents of Brainerd. Why is the council and parks department hiring a full-time recreations specialist? This position should be handled by a part-time employee with help from the park secretary, saving thousands of dollars in payroll cost.
There are other city departments that are also overstaffed. Sixty percent of the city's 2014 budget expenditures will be used for payroll.
Council member Koep voted no on replacing the accounts payable clerk. The city of Brainerd needs more representatives who will be committed to protecting the financial interests of the tax payers and still provide the necessary services for the citizens.

tracking virtual links with google analytics
Posted by jens in Uncategorized on January 4, 2010
Tracking dynamic sites is sometimes a bit tricky. Typically tracking systems are specialized in tracking page views. More sophisticated system have there own way of tracking custom event (like shown here).
Unfortunately I needed to track clicks on a HTML canvas. To make these clicks visible to a tracking system, I wanted to transform each click to virtual URL. That way I could use Google analytics not only for tracking but also for popularity statistics of certain content.
The script for doing so is actually pretty simple.
function trace(url){ var tracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXXX-X"); tracker._trackPageview(url); }
Now every time I need to track something I call this function with a custom build URL.
handling a few thousand simultaneous connections in TIBCO BusinessWorks
Scaling with TIBCO BusinessWorks can sometimes be a bit tricky. Recently I began testing some scenarios how to scale a Webservice a bit larger. The first source of information was of course the official documentation and to look at the proposed best practice values for such an engine.
To start small, I tried a HTTP Receiver with a 32bit JVM runtime. I set the heap to the maximum amount possible (something about 1.7gig) and tried how many connections I could handle with that. After a few hundred (300-400) the engine alsways ran into an Out-Of-Memory Exception. From that point the engine was often not recoverable and had to be killed.
After that I tried my luck with an 64bit JVM. Theoretically, with more RAM more connections should be possible, so lets go for it.
I increased the heap size to about 4gig. With that value, the engine actually consumed something about 6gig of memory (I only had 8gig on my test machine). Running the same test as before the connection count increased linearly. That was something I didn't expect. First of I expeceted the Memory consumption should lower on the amount of connections (because of the more reusable objects) and an increase in CPU load because of the more and more complicated handling of the larger heap on the JVM end.
Despite that I came close to handle about one thousand connections. This seems pretty good but was not enough for what I had in mind. The only possibility I saw at that point was to increase the Memory further and further to get more connections running. A second concern which came to my mind was the thread handling. In a default Tomcat installation ever connection gets its own thread. This does consume a lot of memory but also increases the thread count of the server engine dramatically.
With that in mind I remembered something I read about Tomcat 6 a while ago. For the purpose of handling a lot of simultaneous and enduring Javascript requests Tomcat introduced a new kind of connector engine which uses the Java NIO Framework. To explain this a little, Sun introduced this framework in Java 1.4 to handle IO over a single thread mechanism and use mostly OS provided functions for memory allocation and interaction. So in theory this could be the ideal framework for handling a lot of network IO. Tomcat introduced this feature with the c10k problem specifically in mind. So I began searching around how I could get a similar behvior out of BusinessWorks.
What I didn't know at that point was, that TIBCO already introduced this feature into BusinessWorks with version 5.7. You can switch the HTTP connector engine with some parameter in the HTTP Connection resource.
So I changed the connector engine and restartet the test. This time I started small. I set the heap to 512MB and limited the maxProcessor to 500. What I then saw was unexpected. The engine filled up right to the ten thousand requests I send. There occured no Out-Of-Memory at all. What was also interesting was, that the engine held 10k connections despite the maxprocessors was set to 500.
So to conclude the result, the new connector is quite impressive when you need to handle a lot of simultanous connection and have not a lot of memory to spare. On the other hand, when you use it, you loose some of the TIBCO integrated features to limit your load. Further to that, the TIBCO documentation states that due to the single thread arcitecture you increase latency. So as always there is a tradeoff.
One final sidenote. I had some issues with the BusinessWorks 5.7.1 engine so I upgraded it to 5.7.2. Than it ran without a glitch.
TIBCO Designer Panel too small
Recently I ran into some rather trivial problem which isn't really addressed by the TIBCO Designer. I had a process which wouldn't fit into the Design Panel. There was just not enough space on the canvas to fit in the actual flow.
After asking around I came to the conclusion that every designer (from different colleges I work with) had a different resolution for the Design canvas. Nobody knew any kind of property where you can set this resolution, so I began searching around.
The designer uses basically 2 Folder for its configs. One is the installation folder with the designer.tra (already explored this one). The other one is the .TIBCO folder in your user home directory. In that folder there exists a file with the name "Designer5.prefs".
The content of this file consists mainly of position data of the various dialogs. Further to that it includes all the values which you can set through the designer preferences window. Back to the actual topic, I found the following two values:
These values represent the default size which the Designer allocated for its canvas. As you can see the default is pretty small on this one. I also found installations where both values where ten times larger then this. So far I found no performance penalty to this.
The only pattern I found is that newer installation had smaller values as default. Where this value comes from and how it is determined stays unclear to me.
One other thing I found during my research. If the panel is to small for the current process you can drag one activity right next to the border and then start to move it via keyboard ('Shift + Cursor'). By doing so you drag the icon out of the canvas, but the position will be updated internally. After that you just need to refresh the process view and voila you have expanded the canvas size. But this is just a quick and dirty work-around.

As a nine-time Premier League title winner with Manchester United, Scholes has experienced most events in his illustrious footballing career, but the 35-year-old will get the taste of something new when City tackle the Red Devils in the two-legged Carling Cup semi-final.
He said: "There is a bit of a way to go before you think of Manchester City as a main rival in terms of the league and the Champions League. But they are definitely going forward and with the players and money at their disposal, I am sure, given time, they will be right up there."
Scholes is realistic enough to acknowledge that any club willing to spend £120million in a single transfer window, as the Blues did last summer, is eventually bound to be a success.
But he is eager that United do not play a part in them achieving it.
"These games are certainly something to look forward to," he said. "Both matches will have great atmospheres and it would be fantastic to get through to the final by beating City."

While surfing Online this morning, I noticed 595gnxne.tech pop-up on my computer screen which asked to me scan my PC by clicking on its notification. Since then, My System started behaving abnormally and it started stuck time to time while performing any task. I noticed that the Search engine like Google and Yahoo is now showing a lot of commercial ads and sponsored links in their search result. Now, I think that clicking on 595gnxne.tech pop-up was a very big mistake and it has allowed cyber criminals to hijack my PC. Please help to fix this issue.
There is nothing worse you can ask if your PC get infected with a nasty malware such as 595gnxne.tech pop-up. It is irritating, dangerous and well as a big risk for the security of your personal data. Its only aim is to benefit its developer and to achiever it evil desire, it makes so many unwanted modifications in the internal settings of PC. The appearance of its related commercial pop ups are very genuine and lucrative. It supports attractive deals, coupons, and price comparisons etc. which are totally bogus and is a tactics to convince user for buying sponsored products. Several harmful files and codes get automatically downloaded at the background which consumes a lot of System resources and can ultimately crash the PC. It might show some free technical support message which is another spam and trick to cheat the personal data of users. It is a trap where users are asked to reveal their personal data and ultimately this leads to data theft. It is strongly recommended to practice safe browsing and try to remove 595gnxne.tech pop-up as quickly as possible.
