language_css_alter() checks every CSS file that is added to the page for it's -rtl.css counterpart and, if it exists, adds it as well. Due to CSS weight (the -rtl.css stylesheets are added after the original styles) the RTL rules override the LTR rules.
This is a total anti-pattern and pretty much a Drupalism. It requires you to maintain another file and keep it in sync with the changes in your main stylesheet. It involves PHP logic to dynamically detect and inject the right .css files on run-time including quite a few file_exists() checks for every page RTL page that is loaded.
It also makes it much harder to leverage Sass or any other preprocessor to automatically generate the RTL output in your stylesheets which would otherwise be a big win for maintainability.
Proposed resolution
Let's leverage the 'dir' attribute in our stylesheets. Basically, this would look like this:
.foo {
float: left;
[dir="rtl"] .foo {
float: right;
// Plain Sass
.foo {
float: left;
[dir="rtl] &{
float: right;
// Or even with cool mixins that do all the magic for you
.foo {
// Mixin that inverts the float for RTL languages.
@include float(left);
This increases the maintainability of our stylesheets and makes them somewhat self-contained. It takes away the burden of synchronizing changes across multiple files when changing something as simple as a float.
This slightly increases the size of the CSS for LTR pages aswell as both, the RTL and the LTR styles are served for everyone. However, it normally comes down to just a few lines of extra CSS that are even minified and compressed on production environments and therefore absolutely negligible.

Comment #1Snugug CreditAttribution: Snugug commented
I one million perent agree with this. This is a terrible Drupal anti-pattern that must be stopped. In fact, the best practice in the wider world of the web is to do what's proposed (using the
dir attribute selector). There is support back to IE7 for this and all major modern browsers. We already have everything in place to do this, we just need to make it the standard and update our CSS.
Comment #3ry5n CreditAttribution: ry5n commented
+1 from me as well. The maintenance and testing advantages outweigh a few extra lines of CSS in the LTR stylesheet. Theoretically at least, primarily RTL themes could assume RTL and use [dir="ltr"] for the overrides.
Comment #4sdboyer CreditAttribution: sdboyer commented
@Snugug and discussed this a while back in the context of bringing in Assetic, and came to strong agreement that it should be chucked. big +1
Comment #5rupl CreditAttribution: rupl commented
A separate RTL stylesheet is another HTTP request too. The proposed method of inlining RTL is the way to go.
Comment #6Gábor Hojtsy CreditAttribution: Gábor Hojtsy commented
Re @rupl and others: the RTL sheet should not be a separate HTTP request. You are using CSS aggregation on your site, aren't you? I mean extra HTTP request maybe in development, but not on your live site?
@all: one of the selling points of the RTL sheet as a separate file is that those sites that will only ever appear in LTR will not need to pass on extra CSS selectors and potentially substantial more styling to the client that will never be needed on the site. This can be avoided with external CSS build tools that are not Drupalisms. I assume contrib themes will not rely on those either in the Drupal 8 cycle but I may be mistaken.
Either way, I'm fine getting rid of this Drupalism but more wider feedback would be great. Especially as this related to front end performance. As said I'm not at all concerned about HTTP requests, because you *do* have CSS aggregation turned on on your site. I'm concerned about the extra parsing overhead for unused selectors on LTR sites. We usually optimise Drupal for LTR/English first and try to avoid overhead on LTR/English sites if possible. I've been called out before on several occasions when introducing multilingual features/capabilities that taxed the original LTR/English base use case.
Comment #7Gábor Hojtsy CreditAttribution: Gábor Hojtsy commented
Comment #8tsi CreditAttribution: tsi commented
What about adding a 'directionality' argument to drupal_add_css so if anyone wants they can achieve the same conditional loading without the overhead?
Comment #9tsi CreditAttribution: tsi commented
stupid tags... sorry...
Comment #10Gábor Hojtsy CreditAttribution: Gábor Hojtsy commented
@tsi: I don't think making people work more to achieve the same in Drupal 8 can be solved as an improvement :D Also multiple conflicting ways to do the same does not make a consistent contrib space.
Comment #11tsi CreditAttribution: tsi commented
Well, I do see a case where someone would like to add a separate stylesheet based on directionality (or language), it can already be done today but will require *a lot* more work, I'm suggesting that simplifying that (work less, not more) while removing language_css_alter() is an improvement while simply removing language_css_alter() might be seen as a regression in these cases.
Example use case: I have two fontello font sets that should be included based on directionality/language.
Comment #13tsi CreditAttribution: tsi commented
I do agree with @Gábor about the performance issue - on production, with aggregation enabled you're getting less lines of CSS today, whether it's a handful of bytes or more depends on the implementation.
A point to consider, if we do decide that those extra lines are negligible, is that inline RTL rules (right next to the LTR ones) will probably give us much more solid support for RTL css in core (it will simply be harder to neglect) and better maintainability. On the other hand, that will require a major change to almost all of core CSS - can this still be done for 8.x ?
Comment #14LewisNyman CreditAttribution: LewisNyman commented
I think we should be upfront about this and admit that this is a performance regression, and not an insignificant one. Before we start making assumptions about "just a couple of lines" can we verify the impact here?
Bartik alone has 320 lines of RTL CSS, compressed this weighs about 4KB. I haven't spent any time checking all the core or even contrib module RTL CSS.

Comment #21mortendk CreditAttribution: mortendk commented
yup the Drupalism's like this must die die die die die (die)
will argue for having those few X amount of lines (even if its a ton) is not gonna be an issue compared to the maintainability for the frontend.
Comment #26Snugug CreditAttribution: Snugug commented
To get back to the size issue, let's break down some actual numbers from properly optimized CSS (not CSS by committee). In creating a responsive grid system with five different grids ranging from 4 to 16 columns wide, the CSS for the grid system in LTR 7715 bytes. The total sum of all of the RTL components of the grid (mind you, this is a grid that can describe each and every single potential layout on the site) is 828 bytes. When talking about performance vs regression, while it may be technically true that if I were to serve the combined file to LTR it would be a regression of performance for LTR (by 828 bytes), in most frontender's estimation, the worse thing is what we currently have; different CSS packages per language direction. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that an extra 828 bytes for everyone and a solid CSS cache for all directions is better than two different CSS packages, one for each direction, of equal size plus a little more for the RTL direction.
Even if we were to take this to what Bartik currently has, what we're really talking about is an extra 4kb for everyone or an extra 44kb for RTL users. Now when talking performance and regression, which would you take?
Comment #27tsi CreditAttribution: tsi commented
Sam, I don't follow your argument, why would you assume an *extra* 44kb for RTL users?
Following your example the situation would be 40kb for LTR and 44kb for RTL pages - every page delivers what is needed for it to display properly, as it should.
Saying that, I do support the maintainability gain - as an RTL dev that had a lot of hard time bringing RTL into core, it is very hard to maintain and get patches committed when styles live in a separate file, mainly due to lack of public interest.
It feels weird to bring all the RTL css into the default stylesheets just because we couldn't maintain them, but we couldn't, so maybe we should.
Comment #28LewisNyman CreditAttribution: LewisNyman commented
There's some flawed logic here, only the inverse styles from the LTR stylesheets are redundant for RTL to users. They still need every other line. Assuming the CSS matches line for line, it would be 4kb waste for LTR and a 4kb waste for RTL.
Comment #29tsi CreditAttribution: tsi commented
Just for reference - probably one of the worst examples for RTL maintainability nightmare, would never happen if it would've been inline with the LTR styles; it took around 16 months to get Seven to support RTL, months after D7 was released we still had to deal with broken admin theme on RTL sites #766458: Seven theme lacks rtl styling
Comment #30Snugug CreditAttribution: Snugug commented
The 44k additional comes from multilingual sites switching languages needing to download an entire new CSS package for the RTL vs the LTR. It's only 4k if you're exclusively making an RTL site, but I was under the impressions we're talking about multilingual sites where language swapping is a possibility (and probability).
Comment #31JohnAlbin CreditAttribution: JohnAlbin commented
I'm in favor of this change as well. But let's see some reviews now! :-)
Comment #33LewisNyman CreditAttribution: LewisNyman commented
fubhy's patch/audit of RTL styles is enough to convince me that the current way of working is not effective. Mistakes using the current process have slipped through the review into core.
This new process will make it easier to implement, test, and review LTR/RTL styling. In the light of the inconsistencies fubhy has found, I think this is something we need, rather than something we want.
Performance should always be a consideration. looking forward towards Drupal 9, we'll start using modern CSS3 layout techniques that will remove or reduce the need for separate RTL styling.

How the "Avoid commit conflicts" tag works exactly?
Heh, I only assumed this was helpful for the core committers when other rtbc patches exist that touch the same files, they can make the call to commit those first, rather than cause them to need re-rolls.
I didn't review all, but only caught the following typo while comparing the 2 latest patches.
views_ui.admin-rtl.css had ".views-display-columns > *" and when copied to views_ui.admin.css, it is mispelled as "[dir=rtl] .views-display-colums > *" (columns is missing the "n").
Were there other places that you hand typed rather than copy pasted?

At least this RTL override is missing in color.admin.css:
-#palette .hook {
- float: right;
Also, would it be an option to explicitely use
[dir=ltr], so we wouldn't override the ltr rules for rtl, but would have either the ltr selector or the rtl one match?
So instead of:
.dblog-filter-form .form-item-type,
.dblog-filter-form .form-item-severity {
display: inline-block;
margin: .1em .9em .1em .1em; /* LTR */
max-width: 30%;
[dir=rtl] .dblog-filter-form .form-item-type,
[dir=rtl] .dblog-filter-form .form-item-severity {
margin: .1em .1em .1em .9em;
it would look like this:
.dblog-filter-form .form-item-type,
.dblog-filter-form .form-item-severity {
display: inline-block;
max-width: 30%;
[dir=ltr] .dblog-filter-form .form-item-type,
[dir=ltr] .dblog-filter-form .form-item-severity {
margin: .1em .9em .1em .1em;
[dir=rtl] .dblog-filter-form .form-item-type,
[dir=rtl] .dblog-filter-form .form-item-severity {
margin: .1em .1em .1em .9em;
This would make more obvious, which rules need (and have) an RTL counterpart and which ones are generic.
Don't know how it would work out performance-wise, though.

Please include the quotation marks when you write this attribute selector. We should be doing this as a standard. So.
Here's a good article explaining why we want to make this our standard: http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/unquoted-attribute-values
Although it is valid to leave out the quotes for values of an attribute that are alphanumeric, it can lead to problems for non-alphanumeric values and I'd rather just see everyone be in the habit of using quotations so it's not something we need to consider.

Episode 1211 of 1501 episodes
Mexico, with its history of drug-war violence and corrupt police, has one of the highest kidnapping rates in the world. Official figures for 2015 state that just over 1500 people were taken. Unofficially the figures are said to be much higher…..running into the tens of thousands. In the past the crime tended to target the rich but now it has become much more egalitarian. Victims these days are often shopkeepers, taxi drivers, service employees and people working in Mexico's informal economy. Victims tend to be young – students with parents willing to pay ransoms, are frequently targeted. Kidnapping and ransom operations form a large part of drug cartels' criminal portfolio. With a lack of trust in the authorities there's been a significant rise in the number of private negotiators who deal with the ransom negotiations. The BBC's Vladmir Hernandez has obtained exclusive access into the world of these private negotiators and tells their rarely told story. He also has a disturbing interview with a kidnapper.

"From the moment my son was sent ..."
About: Royal Free Hospital Royal Free Hospital London NW3 2QG
Posted by Anonymous (as ),
What I liked
From the moment my son was sent to the Royal Free to be assessed for a liver transplant he was treated with great caring, dignity and respect by all of the transplant team.
The co-ordinators were like friends to my daughter in law and calmed her fears. After the transplant we could not have asked for better care for my son and respect for my family.
The team are truly professional and caring. Everything was handled excellently and we are all so grateful as they have given us back our husband, son and brother.
Thank you so much the liver transplant team at the Royal Free. God bless you all.
Truly a centre of excellence!
The Donald family
What could be improved
Absolutely nothing at all.
Response from Royal Free Hospital 7 years ago
Thank you for your comments regarding the clinical and compassionate care provided to your family during your son's time at the hospital. We know that a stay in hospital is stressful for both the patient and their relatives and it is nice to hear that our efforts to help families through such a difficult time are appreciated.

The Vision. The magistrate system becomes a County Court System using lawyers as judges. These courts use judges elected by the bar, smaller juries, limited discovery, and efficiently dealt with civil cases below $12,000, misdemeanors and minor felonies, thus unclogging the other courts."
Working with the Department of Social Services and the Greenville County School District, Greenville developed a system for early intervention courts that provided effective counseling for first time offenders. Specialized courts for drug abusers and mental health provided better rehabilitation and reduced the need for more prisons.
Law enforcement was one of the great beneficiaries of technology, as criminal records could be easily share between jurisdictions. Video conferencing was widely used by the court, reducing the need to transport people between facilities. A national database of DNA was available to law enforcement, but not for other purposes.

NEW EAGLES - Please join us in congratulating our newest group of LDO Captains: CDRs – Matthew Arnold, Robert Bailey, William Bell, Ed Callahan, David Dwyer, Morris Oxendine, John Popham, Jeff Sandin and Anthony Taranto.***
Changes at the Top, Our Silver Eagle and SWON have both held turnovers. Please join us in extending our gratitude to Captain Dan Henderson and CWO5 Dan Kissel for their dedication and leadership over the past several years. With this turnover we have eliminated the requirement to have the first name DAN and our new leaders are Captain Pierre Fuller and CWO5 Anthony "Tony" Diaz.
Talent Management (RCC) update. We continue to move forward with efforts to provide a more technically focused force. Expectations are that FY-18 will begin changes to LDO and CWO Officer Summary Groups in preparation for future changes to competitive categories for promotion.
First of all Congrats to the new LDO (274) and CWO (196) Selects. This is always a special time of the year as we all know the LDO and CWO results are the first of a long board season. The biggest thing you can do is prepare yourselves for the next level and PAY-IT-FORWARD. Share your knowledge and it's never too early to pave the way for your relief. BZ!!!!
The anxiety is always high this time of the year. We just rolled back from the holidays and move right into the board season. We have taken several calls from officers frustrated that they were either in or below zone. Some folks just want a little more time and others just can't wait. In preparation for the board season LT Holly Taylor has put out a lot of good gouge on various subjects. The range from how to update your record to how to read a zone list which have all been posted on Facebook page and will be on our website. These articles were generated from questions from the fleet. If you are curious JUST ASK.
In our travels, questions about mentorship come up quite often. We are seeing a very large population at our briefs of Third and Second Class Petty Officers. That is where mentorship is exceling right now. The difficulties we are seeing on the road have more to do with the mentorship of the senior First Class and Chief Petty Officers. We have to be consistent on our mentorship across all pay grades.
I would submit that mentoring a Third Class on the "way ahead" is way different than mentoring an 11+ year First Class. Obviously one has years to formulate their path and the other has already formed a culture of success, or not, in their path. Be sure you know the difference. Understand if you have a 12 year First Class or 18 year Senior Chief you really have 2 years at best to guide them through the process.
Mentoring and Counseling happens 7 days a week and 365 days out of the year. It is imperative that we
are honest, sincere and to the point. We will undoubtedly fail our shipmates if we say what they want to
hear versus what is realistic.
No limitation on Above Zone (AZ) selections. If an individual has time to zone a second
time and is on course be careful what you say. The LDO AZ results this year showed 0
CAPTs, 11 CDRs and 12 LCDRs. The CWO AZ results this year showed 4 CWO5s and 15
CWO4s. AZ selections have increased over the years but have always existed. The board
guidance is BEST and FULLY QUALIFIED. That's been the rules forever.
Board results out this time of the year are both exciting and disappointing. The advice we provide our
officers has to be timely and correct. When we provide Failure of Selection (FOS) counseling keep it
simple and find out what they are missing or the commonalities in all the selects. If you have any
questions about advising an officer…Call their respective detailers. The detailers are their career
counselors and have the most current
Commissioning, Change of Commands and Retirements
A commissioning ceremony is a time honored tradition regardless of commissioning source. It's an opportunity to visit with a newly commissioned officer as well as their respective families. The family is so proud and it's a great mentoring opportunity on Day 1 Hour 1. If ever you lose faith in what drove you to get a commission…attend a commissioning ceremony.
This seems like a pretty straightforward question but really how do you prepare? Every seasoned O6/O5/O4/W5 will steer you center of the channel BUT some go at 10 KTs, 15 KTs and yes 350KTs. If you're a guy or gal that moves at 350 KTs you might want to start earlier so you don't miss something. Is one approach better than the other? I can tell you that there is NO big secret BUT many common items to look at. While discussing this I will use the FY16 LCDR Line results, but this is applicable to all boards. And a big thing to remember is that we are all really good, but we all end up in the CRUNCH!!!
What are Off Ramp Communities and why do we have them?
In 2010 during the LDO Officer Sustainability Initiative (OSI) it was determined LDOs in the IDC and Supply communities would off-ramp to respective Restricted Line (RL) Communities. The desired end state was to create stable RL and Staff Corps communities through the accession of LDOs and transition to the RL and Staff designators. This created a more diversified control grade inventory, while simultaneously eliminating inventory to billet mismatches.
I've been asked several times: "How to transition to the wardroom?" First, and foremost there is no simple answer because no two LDO's or CWO's backgrounds are the same. So I will focus on some simple rules that I've either been taught or have learned over the years.
The last several months we have traveled to Naples, Bahrain, Jacksonville, Mayport, Kings Bay and culminated with a Board of Directors (BOD) Leadership
Off-site in Pensacola. A common concern throughout our travels was the future of Naval Security Forces (NSF) and their new career path. If you are a Security LDO or CWO (6490/7491), any and all changes or modifications to your career path will be promulgated via Navy Message or NAVADMIN. A future career path brief was provided for situational awareness and should be viewed as such. The problem with running ahead of any official guidance is you may be working off DRAFT #1 or #21. Either way you may not have the whole picture; so while providing mentorship to future Mustangs we need to be current. The FY-17 Active Duty LDO and CWO In-service Procurement Board NAVADMIN is 156/15 (DTG 061959Z JUL 15). It is prudent that we understand our current requirements.
Well the OCM shop has been on the road quite a bit this last 2 months. We've had an opportunity to meet solid candidates and constituents alike. It is truly the best part of the job. Remember for our briefs it's about who shows up and more importantly who doesn't. This is the biggest problem I see on our visits. Over these trips there are two trips that stand out.
If you mentored a Sailor that was not selected let's provide some solid feedback and get them back in the game for this year. In a recent trip to Guam/Hawaii, I was refreshed to see a lot of E-5's at our recruiting briefs. It's not too early to start preparing our reliefs. Unfortunately, many of them did not have active mentors which got resolved before we left both islands. PLEASE… get the word out that spouses are encouraged to attend either the recruiting or Community Retention/Career Management briefs. We had several spouses attend in Hawaii and I'm absolutely positive it was beneficial to their families. If POC's in geographical areas desire a spouse brief after normal work hours let us know. We will accommodate.
Since becoming the OCM, I have had the opportunity to visit many ships, regions, and installations. During those visits I have had similar conversations over and over with senior leaders, both within and outside our community. The main topic of discussion is Mustang Pride?
The professionalism on display by LDOs and CWOs around the Navy would make anyone proud to be a Mustang. That's the good, but let me share the bad. Have you heard or ever said, "I did it the hard way, I earned it"? Over the years I have come to appreciate how shortsighted it is to make this statement or include it in commissioning, promotion, or retirement programs.
Here's why: The odds are that the senior officers you pay your respects to every day with a "Yes, Sir" or "Yes, Ma'am" kind of thinks they earned it as well. Your pride may be well-deserved, but if it places you above others it's probably something you should revisit.
August was a busy month and we found ourselves on the road for several days as we continued to provide the road show community and applicant briefs to those commands that requested our presence. We attended the SEAL conference in San Diego to discuss the CWO SEAL community future and we had a great visit. We also traveled all the way to Guam to visit the base and submarine tenders, and received a great showing and support while there. We had to rush back to Millington to prepare and brief the Chief of Naval Personnel, VADM Van Buskirk, on the LDO & CWO Sustainability Initiative on 27 September. The CNP was very receptive to the work being done and has asked for further follow-up by the N13 (RADM Kurta) and NPC (RADM Covell) to the Enterprise Flag Officers and their manpower shops on where we are headed with the correcting of our pyramids and building a more viable and sustainable LDO & CWO community.

This application claims priority from PCT Application No. PCT/CA2004/001043, filed 16 Jul. 2004 (incorporated by reference herein) and U.S. application Ser. No. 60/487,595,filed 17 Jul. 2003 (incorporated by reference herein).
The present invention relates to buried fibre optic networks installed within surfaces such as city streets, turf, etc.
Optic fibre networks may include multiple "nodes", which may comprise a cable junction, spare cable loops or both. For purposes of this patent specification and claims, a "node" means a portion of a cable network which consists of either a cable junction or one or more cable loops (to supply a length of cable which may be drawn on for future system expansion, repairs or the like) or both of loops and a junction. It is desirable to provide a system that permits an uncut length of cable to be inlaid from the surface without cutting. For such purpose, network components and in particular the components provided at the cable nodes must be adapted for surface inlaid installation without no or minimal need to thread a free end of the cable through any component.
Repairs and future expansion require convenient access to additional lengths of cable, which preferably may be provided by building into the system spare cable loops in order to minimize the requirement of cable splicing as the need arises for additional cable. However, cable loops can be difficult to form and keep in place during and after the system installation, as fibre optic cable is typically relatively stiff and retains a "memory" and thus often defies being formed into tight loops and holding such loops in place during burial. Another requirement in such a system is that the nodes (which may include delicate cable junction equipment) be protected against damage.
It is desirable to provide a convenient means for installing and protecting one or more cable loops and optionally a junction box. Ideally, protection is given against compression or crushing as well as moisture, while permitting quick and simple installation of the loops and/or junction box within a narrow trench. In the present inventor's previous patent application (Published Canadian Application No. 2,337,284), a rigid junction box is disclosed around which additional cable loops may be formed. An optional rigid frame is provided to hold both the junction box and up to several loops of cable. The junction box and optional frame may be burled at a system node. The present invention relates to an improved modular system for holding either cable loops or a junction box, or both, for burial as part of a fibre optic cable network. Preferably, the network is buried within a narrow, slit-like trench which may be cut into either a hard surface such as pavement or a soft surface such as turf.
A cable system installed within a soft surface such as turf is typically set into a trench which may be somewhat wider and deeper in comparison with a hard surface such as asphalt or other pavement; it is easier to dig into a soft surface and a deeper setting of the fibre optic cable is desirable to avoid crushing or distortion when, for example, equipment rolls over the surface.
An object of the present invention is to provide protective housings to protect fibre optic system components at system nodes which permit surface inlaid cable installation. The node may comprise a cable junction and/or one or more loops of cable. A further object is to provide improved protection for system nodes buried under hard surfaces such as pavement or within a soft surface such as turf.
In one aspect, the invention relates to a module or unit for housing a "node" of a fibre optic network. The module includes an openable housing for retaining and protecting a cable junction box and/or a cable loop. The housing comprises spaced apart panels which define an interior space. The panels open to expose the interior space. An insert fits within the interior space, such as a removable foam insert. The panels open like a book to receive a length of cable between the panels. The panels are rigid or semi-rigid, meaning they have sufficient rigidity to provide resistance against crushing when the housing is buried. The insert includes at least one channel open to its upper surface for receiving one or more cable loops without threading of a free end of the cable, namely by pressing a length of cable into the channel from the exposed surface of the insert. The insert with cable installed in the channel may be then placed within the housing and the combination then buried beneath a surface in a network installation. The insert also includes a receptacle for receiving and retaining a junction box. The channel includes curving or looping regions to retain a cable in a tortuous path within the channel and prevent slippage of the cable by frictionally engaging the cable within the channels. The channel arrangement may include a segment extending generally around the periphery of the insert to hold one or more cable loops. The channel communicates with the exterior of the housing, for example through openings in the end walls of the housing, such that cable may exit and enter the housing from the cable network. Several channels may be provided to provide options for cable placement, depending on the type of junction box used and other system needs.
The housing includes peripheral side walls to space apart the panels. One of said side walls is hinged to a panel such that the panel forms an openable lid for access to the inside of the housing. The housing opens to permit access to the insert, such that an uncut length of cable may be placed within the channel without having to sever the cable and thread a free end of the cable through the housing.
In a further aspect, a rigid outer casing at least partly surrounds the housing for additional crush-resistance, for example for use in installations within a soft surface such as turf. The casing is preferably rectangular in shape with open ends, a pair of side walls, a base and a removable cap, wherein the housing may be inserted into the casing when the cap is temporarily removed, without having to cut the cable.
The invention also relates to a rigid member for independent installation within a surface, at a position above the inner housing to protect the housing from damage. The member is intended to be installed within a narrow groove or channel cut into a hard surface such as pavement. The member may be an inverted elongate channel, and preferably includes at least one emboss protruding outwardly from its sidewall for engagement with the surrounding hard surface.
In a further aspect, the invention relates to a system for installing a cable node and associated cable loop and/or junction box within a cored-out hole made within a surface such that surface cuts for installing the cables may be made after the node protector housing has been installed within the surface. This provides an efficient means to install a cable network, and is of particular value in an urban setting where a premium is placed on being able to quickly carry out roadwork. In this aspect, the system includes an elongate rigid hollow outer casing or node protector having at least two opposed slotted openings into its interior for entry and exit of a cable. The system also preferably includes an inner housing which fits within node protector. The interior of the outer casing snugly receives the inner housing. The inner housing comprises at least two and preferably three flat open-topped receptacles joined together by a flexible web for folding the receptacles together like a book. Each of the receptacles comprises a floor and sidewalls defining an interior space. One of the receptacles includes a space to receive a cable junction box, while a second and optionally a third of the receptacles is arranged to receive at least one loop of cable within said interior space.
The outer node protector preferably includes a removable lid and a base with a drainage opening. The node protector is preferably substantially cylindrical for insertion within a cylindrical hole.
The outer node protector casing comprises a plurality of opposed slots open to its upper rim. The slots serve two functions: they permit cable to be dropped into the interior of the casing though the slots, without requiring the cable to be severed and threaded though an opening, and they also permit use of an installation method in which the node protector is installed before any cable cuts are made in the surface; after the node protector is thus installed, the street cuts are made with a slab saw which passes right through the slots.
In this aspect of the invention, a cable network is installed by initially forming cylindrical holes within the surface for the node protectors at predetermined node locations, followed by installation of the node protectors in such a manner that the opposed slots align with the desired surface cuts. The surface cuts are then made with a cutting tool such as a slab saw. Since the slots of the node protectors align with the cuts, the cutting tool (such as a saw) can pass right through the slots within the node protectors. The cables are then installed, along with any associated cable loops and junction boxes being positioned within the node protectors. The node protectors are then capped and the surface restored. A further feature of this aspect of the invention is that all or essentially all steps of the process are carried out with a "surface inlay" mode such that cable is not required to be severed except at junction boxes but may be dropped into all other components.
In a further aspect, the invention comprises a cable network comprising a pre-assembled array for surface-inlaid installation within a surface. In this aspect, the invention comprises a trunk cable line with a plurality of branch lines branching from the trunk line at intervals. At each junction, a junction box is provided which fits within an inner housing of the type described above. Each branch line may terminate in a cable end connector for connection with a receiving cable at a residence, office or the like. The assembly may be pre-made and pre-tested at a remote location and tested for increased efficiency and system reliability. The installation may then be installed by pre-drilling openings and installing cable node protectors at selected node locations, cutting cable trenches between nodes and towards the cable terminals (e.g. residences, etc.) and installing the pre-made cable network within the network of trenches and channels. Such an installation may be carried out entirely as a surface-inlaid system with no cable cuts or threading of a free end required.
Directional references are employed throughout the present specification and claims. Such directional references are not intended to limit the scope of the invention but are merely for convenience of description. In general, terms such as "upper" and "lower" are used in reference to the devices described herein in their normal installed position, i.e., in a generally vertically oriented position. References to "left" and "right" are also selected for convenience of description as the invention is not limited in this respect, as also with terms such as "wall", "floor", etc. It will also be seen that the invention may be installed horizontally, for example if the cable network includes a portion set into a wall or other vertical surface.
A first embodiment of the protective inner housing 10 is shown at
A removable foam insert 30 is provided, which substantially fills the interior of the shell 12. The insert 30 preferably comprises an open or closed cell foam such as pvc, polyethylene, polyurethane, with a closed cell foam being preferable due to its generally greater rigidity and crush resistance and its ability to displace water.
A central void 32 within the foam insert 30 provides a receptacle to receive a junction box 34, as seen in
Turning to
In use, the preferred installation procedure for the casing 60 comprises forming a channel within a soft surface, laying a suitable length of cable 50 within the channel and preferably then enclosing the cable within a cable protector 300. The housing 10 is then installed in a position to surround a portion of the cable 50. This cable region may be formed into a loop and optionally, if two or more separate cables are joined at this location, a junction box 34 is then installed at this location which is then enclosed within the inner housing 10. Optionally the flaps 20, 22 of the housing 10 are fastened together; followed by assembling the casing 60 around the housing 10, i.e., by initially assembling the side panels 62 to the base 64, sliding the casing 10 into the open interior of the casing 60 from the open upper end of the casing 60, followed by assembling the cap 65 onto the casing 60. The casing 60, with the housing 10 enclosed therein, is then buried within the open channel, which is then filled with soil to restore the surface.
A further aspect of the invention comprises a protective cap 100, illustrated in
The cap may be installed within a hard surface by the following means. Following installation of the protective housing 10 within a substantially vertical-walled channel cut into a surface, indents 110 are cut into the surface to receive the embosses 104. This may be performed by locating the positions where the embosses 104 will contact the pavement surface (for example, by contacting the pavement with the cap 100 and noting the positions of the embosses 104). A coring bit is then used to cut indents 110 within the hard surface, to a selected depth, to receive and support the embosses 104. The depth of the cuts made by the coring bit will determine the installed depth of the cap 100. The cap 100 may either partly cover the inner housing 10 or be entirely spaced above the housing 10. If desired, the upper surface of the cap 100 may be substantially flush with the pavement surface, thereby providing a convenient means to locate and obtain access to the protective housing 10 and the accompanying cable node. Alternatively, the cap 100 may be recessed below the pavement surface, thereby providing space, including being sufficiently recessed to permit resurfacing of the pavement, to restore the pavement surface.
Subsequent locating of the cap 100, and the underlying node, may be easily accomplished if the cap comprises a ferrous substance or other metal which may be detected by a metal detector.
A further aspect of the invention is illustrated at
The casing system comprises a node protector, comprising an elongate rigid outer casing 200, which receives within an interior space a removable inner housing 230. The outer casing 200 has a substantially cylindrical shape, although it will be seen that the selection of a cylindrical shape is essentially arbitrary and is intended for convenience of fitting within a circular hole cored into pavement or other surface. The outer casing 200, seen particularly at
It will be seen that although the outer casing 200 is fabricated from cast iron in the embodiment described herein, any convenient rigid and strong material may be used including a suitable plastic which may be molded into the same or similar configuration. The casing 200 may also be fabricated from sheet metal.
The outer casing 200 may be installed within a circular hole 224 cut into a surface, as shown in
The inner housing 230 (seen in more detail in
The receptacle sidewalls 239 include gaps 241 for communication of cable between the receptacles, such that a single length of cable may pass without cutting or splicing between all three receptacles. The gaps 241 face each other across the webs 238 such that when the inner housing is closed the gaps are fully covered by the flexible webs 238. The sidewalls 239 of at least one of the receptacles also include slots 243 to permit cable to enter and exit the interior of the housing 230. The slots 243 open to the upper surface of the sidewalls 239 such that a length of cable may be installed within the inside of the housing 230 when open without having to cut and thread the cable through any openings. The exposed upper edges of the sidewalls 239 include an array of inwardly-facing flaps 240 which partly cover the open tops of the first and second receptacles 232 and 234. The flaps 240 are for retaining cable 50 within the interior of each panel section. The flaps may be aligned on the respective panels and include a smooth exposed surface, such that when the inner housing 230 is in the closed position, the aligned flaps contact each other. The flaps 240 only partially cover the corresponding receptacles to permit access to the receptacle interior for manipulating the cable within the interior thereof. The flaps 240 leave the slots 243 exposed. As well, the exposed upper surfaces of the sidewalls contact each other where not capped by the flaps 240.
A pair of hubs 242 is mounted to the floor of each of the first and second receptacles 232, 234. Each hub 242 includes transecting slots 244 to receive a fibre optic cable 50 therein, such that cable 50 may be wound about one or both of the hubs 242 within each receptacle to take up cable slack and reduce cable slippage. Cable entry and exit ports 250, 252 within the panel sidewalls permit cable to enter the interior of the panel. It will be seen that an uncut length of cable 50 may be installed within the interior of the component without requiring cutting of the cable and threading it through the component. Rather, the cable 50 may be installed at any point along the cable length.
In use, the node protector 200 is installed within a pre-cut opening within a surface as described above at a system node position such that the upper rim of the node protector. Is adjacent to the surface—preferably being slightly below the surface but also potentially at or slightly above the surface. Cable channels 226 are cut into the surface in communication with the interior of the node protector 200. Cable 50 is then laid into the channel or channels, in the process of which cable is dropped into the node protector 200. If the node consists of a cable junction, a junction box 34 is provided, and all necessary cable junctions or splices are formed in association with the junction box. The junction box 34, with cables 50 extending outwardly, is then placed in the void 245 of the third receptacle 236. If an excess length of cable is provided, this excess may be wound about one or more of the hubs 242. The three receptacles 232-236 of the inner housing 230 are then folded together like a book to form a rectangular member containing the cable junction box 34 and optionally a length of spooled cable 50, with the housing 230. The housing 230 may be provided with a clasp 250 to hold the retainer components 232-236 tightly together. The inner housing 230 is then inserted within the outer casing 200 such that the flat sides of the casing interior contact the corresponding flat sides of the closed housing 230 for a snug fit. The cap 206 is then replaced and after the cables are repositioned within the channel or channels 226 the surface is restored. Preferably, the node protector has been sunk into the surface at a depth sufficient to permit the installed cap 206 to be essentially flush with the surface and exposed or otherwise visible to permit easy access to the node after installation.
A still further aspect of the invention is shown in
Installation of such a pre-assembled system in essentially the same manner as described above for the embodiment of
The present invention has been described, in part, by way of a detailed description of embodiments thereof. The invention is not limited in its scope to the detailed description provided in this specification. Rather, the full scope of the invention is defined by the entirety of this specification including the claims and it will be understood that the scope of these claims extends beyond the detailed description herein and covers numerous variations and departures from the described embodiments.

Why is WordPress backend so slow on Dreamhost?
Does anyone have any insight into why Dreamhost.com, while mentioned as a WordPress-friendly site, is horribly horribly slow when you are logged in to the admin dashboard and trying to update and save pages and posts? I have found Dreamhost.com to be unusable for simple everyday tasks from the dashboard.
So, I guess what I am looking for is some reasons why Dreamhost is so much slower on the backend than on the front end? On the front end I can sometimes get pages to load at a reasonable speed. But, when I am working in the backend, I get connection time outs when I am trying to save a page. It literally took me a half hour to edit 2 pages simply because I had to wait more than a minute for the edit page to reload after clicking "update", then waiting another minute for the preview page to load so I can view my changes. And when you have to do this a couple of time until you get your changes the way you want them, before you know it, it has taken a half an hour or more just to do something that should be very simple.
So tell me, what is going on in WordPress when the edit page is trying to load, or when the "update" button is pressed? What could be causing it to be so slow? I've gotten the party line from the Dreamhost support team, blah blah blah, but what I am looking for is insight into what is different between loading the edit page on the backend from loading the page on the front end by a user that is not logged in. Don't be afraid to tell me the technical details – that's exactly what I want to know. I am a developer and will probably understand what you tell me.
- The topic 'Why is WordPress backend so slow on Dreamhost?' is closed to new replies.

Price Differentiation and Menu Costs in Credit Card Payments
We build a model of credit card payments where the retailers are allowed to charge differential prices depending on the instrument of payment chosen by the consumer. We follow the approach in Rochet and Wright (2010) but assume a credit card system without any type of non-surcharge rule. In a Hotelling competition framework at the retailers level, the competitive equilibrium prices are computed assuming that the store credit provided by the retailer is less cost efficient than the one provided by the credit card. In accordance with the literature, we obtain that the interchange fee becomes neutral if we eliminate the no-surcharge rule, when the interchange fee loses its ability to distort the individual consumer's decisions and displace the aggregate consumers' welfare from its maximum level. We prove that the average price obtained under price differentiation is smaller than the single retail price under the non-surcharge rule, despite the retailer's margins being the same in both scenarios. In addition, we introduce menu costs to prove that there is a value for the interchange fee such that there is equilibrium with price differentiation if and only if that fee is above this value. It must be interpreted as an endogenous cap for the interchange fee fixed by the credit card industry. Finally, we also obtain that under price differentiation with menu costs there is a non cooperative Nash equilibrium as in the well known "prisoner's dilemma" game.

The super talented, Adam Hamdy approached us at the start of 2016 to see if he could hire our services to design & develop a new website for him. Adams old site was starting to look tired so he wanted a complete rebuild that would reflect the quality work he was producing. Adam wanted a website that wasn't corporate, he wanted a website that reflected his creative ability along with his personality & writing style.
It wasn't long into the planning of the build that we thought an obvious choice for the landing page would be to showcase one of Adams films as a responsive video background. We developed the video background to detect the device it was being displayed on to ensure any mobile or tablet devices that struggle are only served a still image which ensures good user experience. On the home page you will also find a unique, custom made twitter feed, some subtle animated touches here & there all tailormade for Adams website.
We also developed a bespoke blog posts page with a parallax scroll effect to keep creativity flowing throughout. We also designed a razor sharp logo for Adam to give him some brand identity as his recognition increases worldwide. We must also mention Adams much anticipated novel 'Pendulum' mentioned on his new website will be available to buy this November from Amazon.

I was born in 1982 at Helsinki, Finland. I was about to miss my chance to become graphic designer and illustrator until I realized that the passion for drawing and art from early ages would turn to be a career. After non-military service 2006 I was at the crossroads of life. Luckily I took the right path go to study graphic design in Lahti University of Applied Sciences – Institute of Design. I was hooked immediately. The graffiti culture stands really close in my heart and that is the original inspiring baseline. I find inspiration from the streets, internet and everyday life. Also everything with grunge feel and vintage textures has it's appeal which shows in my hobby to creating posters and flyers. I dream about my own lab equipped with screen printing capabilities and workspace. My fundamentals are that hard work, strong visions and ideas with impeccable execution will get you far but little luck sometimes isn't that bad.
Working with design agencies, firms, individual clients and small businesses in making extraordinary graphic design for them and their brands. My repertoire includes:
Graphic Design, Art Direction, Illustration, Identities, Logos, Logotypes, Custom types, Posters and Flyers, Web Design, Annual Reports, Invitations, Branding and Ad Campaigns.

Voting on received form submissionsAsked by redherringstudios on October 13, 2013 at 09:04 AM
I'm using JotForm so that people can apply for membership of an art studio where I work.
Once their application has been received, existing studio members need to be able to look at the completed form and vote whether to accept the applicant or not. They should also be able to see what other members' votes/opinions are. It'd be great if these voting forms can be set up automagically.
Is there a clever way to do this?
Thanks for a great product!Best wishesNick
I think you can make a form using any of our form templates and then setup a report please see How to create an HTML Table Listing Report
Once you create it, grab the link and embed it into a custom Thank You page
Let us know if further help is needed
Thanks. That's very helpful, but doesn't quite answer my question. Here's what I'd like to do - ???s denote the stages I don't know how to implement:
1. Applicant fills in application form.
2. ??? A new voting form is automatically created from a template, with a link to the applicant's completed form.
3. Existing members fill in voting form and submit it.
4. ??? They can see, preferably while they're filling in the form, what other members' votes and comments have been.
Is this doable?
Re: stage 2, I can't find how to link to an individual submission - only to a page with ALL the submissions.
Best wishes
JotForm Support
Hi Nick,
Some parts of your requirements aren't doable or maybe I've misunderstood them.
2. There's no way to automatically create a form from Jotform, you have to create it manually in the form builder. If I've misunderstood this part, kindly elaborate this part.
4. You can only do this when you embed your form reports using Free Text HTML tool on your form.
I am still unsure about how you want the voting form to be automatically created on step 2. If you mean, link a voting form after the applicant submits the application form then that's possible. You can use thank you custom URL for that. How to Redirect to a Page After Form Submission
Please let us know if I've missed something. Thanks!

BAGHDAD – The Obama administration's Iraq policy is in chaos. Seven months after Iraq's national elections, the United States has publicly denied taking sides in the wrangling over who will be prime minister. Privately, however, the US is backing the incumbent, Nouri al-Maliki.
The US has applied tremendous diplomatic pressure on Iraq's Arab neighbors to get them to accept another Maliki term. Most have refused. Initially, the US backed Maliki in order to keep the Sadrist bloc from gaining a share of power. However, that has now backfired, since the Sadrists are the only group other than Maliki's coalition of Shia parties that supports him.
One unsettling consequence of US diplomacy is that it has reinforced Iran's role in Iraq, because Maliki is Iran's preferred candidate for Prime Minister. Thus, at the very moment that the US is leading a global campaign to isolate Iran over its nuclear program, it is strengthening Iran's regional position.
The US-Iranian dispute is not limited to the nuclear issue. American efforts to re-start Israeli-Palestinian peace talks have faced adamant opposition from Iran, which maintains its 30-year-old policy of opposing any effort to promote peace in the region. Iran exerts significant influence on both state and non-state actors whose support is indispensible to any long-term peace in the Middle East.

Zappos Founder Launches a Social Network for Fashion
Many of us know the name Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos and author of the best seller "Delivering Happiness," but the name some may be unfamiliar with is that of the company's founder, Nick Swinmurn, who launched the brand in 1999 and recruited Hsieh. Now Swinmurn is back with a new idea that he believes will revolutionize yet another aspect of the fashion business.
Swinmurn's new company is called RNKD (pronounced "ranked") and it aims to super-charge apparel brands with the power of social media. Specifically, RNKD provides a platform for users to share the details of what's in their closets and earn points toward weekly discounts based on their scores. Points are accrued by photographing and then tagging items like shoes, skirts, shirts, watches, or suits with information on the brand name and where it was purchased. The Web site and iPhone app can be accessed by registering through email or a Facebook account.
The key idea that gives the site its baseline consumer value is the practice of ranking your existing apparel before purchasing new items so that you can benefit from any possible discounts. So rather than spending hours (and, admit it, days) on Farmville planting virtual crops that never bear any actual fruit, RNKD gives your existing wardrobe immediate currency, and all you have to do to extract the value is upload a photo and tag it.
But what the site doesn't really emphasize is the system's ability to function as the ultimate fashion search engine. Two search fields are provided, one for brands and one for stores. Searching for stores and brands, separately or jointly, uncovers a wealth of fashion consumer trend information that could quickly become valuable to users and retailers alike.
Zappos innovated the way we buy shoes, and now with RNKD, Swinmurn hopes to create a closer, more information-rich relationship between consumers and the fashion brands they love.
Zappos was purchased by Amazon in July 2009 for $928 million.

The Grand Opening Celebration of The Peninsula Shanghai
The electronics were amazing. Everything operated from keypads, and all outlets were dual voltage. New to this Peninsula are iPod docking stations and the keypad on the bathtub wall that operates the radio, the flat-screen TV at the foot of the tub and the "Do Not Disturb" functions on both the room door and the telephone. Later, I tried them all while having a long soak. "We have 40 engineers in Hong Kong who do nothing but develop new toys for us," Paul Tchen told me.

Diagnoses on Hospice Claims – Further Clarification
Since the fiscal year (FY) 2014 Hospice Wage Index proposal was posted just several weeks ago, hospices have been asking numerous questions about the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) clarification of diagnoses on hospice claims - and hospices have been debating answers to the numerous questions and what steps hospices should take to be in full compliance with CMS' expectations.
One of the most frequently asked questions is "When will Medicare's Administrative Contractors (MACs) begin returning to provider (RTP) hospice claims that have 'adult failure to thrive' or 'debility' as the principal diagnosis?"
In a recent Open Door Forum (ODF), CMS indicated this would be "soon" and instructions to MACs were "in process." Since the ODF, the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) has clarified with CMS that it will use the same process used for all instructions to MACs. This means the instructions will be delivered via a Change Request (CR). The CR will include an effective date and an implementation date - as all CRs do - but NAHC does not yet know exactly how much time there will be between the release of the CR and its implementation date and effective date.

CMS Changes Compliant Survey Procedure for Deemed Provides and Suppliers
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Survey and Certification Group issued a letter to the Medicare State Survey Agencies (SAs) announcing a change to its procedures when a compliant survey has been conducted and a condition level deficiency had been found on deemed providers and suppliers.
The SAs will only conduct a full survey if requested by the Region Office (RO).
Current CMS policy requires that all deemed providers and supplies found to have a condition level non compliance on a complaint survey must have a full survey of all the Conditions of Participation (CoPs) or Conditions of Coverage (CoCs).

first post
i just wanted to tell someone my story i hope someone reads this. ive suffered from clinical depression for nearly 10 years. ive been to my gp several times over the years and ive been given drugs every time but i always stop taking them because of the horrific side effects (manic, unable to sleep, consonantly exhausted/dizzy and they also rob me of my sex drive). i have also tried counselling this has a very short term effect. i really dont know if i can go on like this much longer and this terrifies me
