A revolutionary formula: 2 x 7 = 77
In some set-ups it can be advisable to use a horizontally designed speaker rather than a vertical one. Until now, such monitors were only available within the SX top line.
The brand new A77X, due to its outstanding features, might become a true game changer: Equipped with the same advanced technologies as the A7X, it therefore is very similar to the two-way speaker. The A77X, however, distinguishes itself by much higher, compression-free maximum sound pressure levels and dynamics. Due to its power and radiation characteristics, it also is perfectly suited for both near- and midfield monitoring.
Driver technology
Like all models of the AX series, the A77X features the ADAM proprietary X-ART tweeter. The 'X' stands for 'eXtended frequency response' and thus for one of the features of the Accelerating Ribbon Technology that has been drastically improved: the frequency response. It now extends all the way up to 50kHz. In addition, the X-ART tweeter has higher efficiency and higher maximum sound pressure levels.
The two 7" woofers are identical with that of the A7X. With their large voice coils (1.5") and powerful amplifiers, they are capable of both very high maximum sound pressure levels as well as very deep registers. The woofers do not cover the same frequency bands: while both of them are responsible for the (sub-) bass frequencies up to about 400Hz, only one of them reproduces the midrange. This prevents interferences between the two drivers. For stereo setups the A77X is available in A and B versions in order to guarantee a precise stereo image.
Amplifiers / controls
Each driver has its own dedicated amplifier. A 50W A/B amp is responsible for the X-ART tweeter, while the bass-/midwoofers are driven by a 100W PWM amp each. The front panel includes a power switch and a control for the volume that retains the volume setting independently from the on/off switch.
The rear panel features several additional controls: a gain for the high frequencies (± 4dB) and two shelf filters for high and low frequencies.
To ensure greater compatibility, there are both XLR (balanced) and RCA (unbalanced) connectors.
Review samples:
"… a refreshing change"
"… if you liked the A7X you'll like the A77X even more, and if the company's smaller near-fields weren't your cup of tea, the A77X are definitely worth another listen. They are not much bigger than a two-driver cabinet design, so should slip into any installation where a near-field speaker will fit, but the extra low/ mid frequency drivers mean that the bass is more naturally extended and the mid-range clearer and more detailed. I like the A77X a lot and they make a refreshing change from the usual mid-priced near-field speakers." AUDIO MEDIA magazine / February 2012
"… wide and spacious soundstage with solid left/right imaging"
"… they are fun and easy to work with, covering all the essential functions required of high-end monitors with aplomb." MusicTech magazine / April 2012

GEOSTATS: 1/r

- Hello
I made a program which calculates p-value of
spatial correlation between two variables(Xi, Yj),
following some advices which I obtained from ai-geostats,
( Bi-variate Moran's I).
This program uses inverse distance( 1/r )
for weighting ( Wij ).
However, if the above two variables
are always sampled at same points,
Wij will be +infinite for Xi,Yi and
the correlation will not be 'spatial'.
How can I cope with r=0 ?
There seems to be following solution;
(1)categorize distance into finite classes.
(2)Take only Xi, Yj ( i != j ) into calculation
(3)Adopt different weighting strategy
I would appreciate your suggestion of any kind.
Yoshiro Nagao ( Y-Nagao )

WASHINGTON – A packet of Texas Air National Guard (search) records released Friday showed that the commanding officer of President Bush's (search) basic training unit took a special interest in him as a trainee and wrote to his father to praise his son.
Bush's father, then a congressman from Texas, said in reply to the commander, "That a major general in the Air Force would take interest in a brand new Air Force trainee made a big impression on me."
Bush went on to say that his son "will be a gung ho member" of the Air Force and that Air Force instructors had "helped awaken the very best instincts in my son."
The letter and other material were the latest in a stream of documents released about Bush's service three decades ago during the Vietnam War (search), when Bush's critics say he got preferential treatment as the son of a congressman and U.N. ambassador. Critics have also questioned why Bush skipped a required medical examination in 1972 and failed to show up for drills during a six-month period that year.
The White House has said repeatedly that all of Bush's Guard records have been disclosed, only to be embarrassed when new documents have turned up. The long-running story took an unusual turn when CBS uncovered documents purportedly showing that Bush refused orders to take a physical examination in 1972 — but then the authenticity of the documents came under doubt.
In addition to the letter from Bush's father, the latest documents contain news releases that the Texas Air National Guard sent to Houston newspapers in 1970 about young Bush, then a second lieutenant and new pilot. "George Bush is one member of the younger generation who doesn't get his kicks from pot or hashish or speed," the news release said. "Oh, he gets high, all right, but not from narcotics."
Three decades later, a new book by Kitty Kelley has alleged that Bush used cocaine while he was a student at Yale University and later at Camp David while his father was president.
The White House has denounced Kelley's book, "The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty," and denied the charges.
The new packet of documents also contained two single-page orders documenting Bush's guard training in May and June of 1973 after he returned from Alabama. Those documents note that Bush was not allowed to fly. A year earlier, he had lost his flying status when he failed to take a required medical exam.
The letter written by Bush's father, former President Bush, was addressed to Maj. Gen. G.B. Greene Jr., commander of the training center at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, where Bush took his basic training. The file does not contain Greene's letter to Bush's father, but shows the letter his father wrote back.
"I was surprised and very, very pleased to receive your letter of Aug. 27th," Bush wrote, adding that he was impressed that a senior officer would take interest in a new trainee.
"Naturally, as a father I was pleased to read your comments about George," Bush wrote. "He is anxiously looking forward to going to flight school and with parental pride, I do have the feeling that he will be a gung ho member of the U.S. Air Force. I think that he will make a good pilot as well."
The letter went on to say that young Bush, on his first trip back home, was full of enthusiasm and kept the family up talking about his first instructor, Sgt. Henry Onacki, who had impressed Bush with his love of country and dedication to the Air Force.
"In this day and age when it has become a little bit fashionable to be critical of the military, I was delighted to see him return to our house with a real pride in the service and with a great respect for the leaders that he had encountered at Lackland."

Fast-food chains are notorious for using tools like glue and blowtorches to make food appear perfect in ads.
But McDonald's is now trying a different tactic: It's embracing messy, imperfect ingredients.
The company posted a new video ad Tuesday showing an egg cracking over a hot griddle, with the egg white streaming out of the egg ring.

"Imperfection and even outright ugliness — the quirky, the messy, and the flawed — are taking on new appeal in a world that's become neatly polished and curated," the firm said in a report.
The intimate shots of McDonald's food being prepared are most likely intended to fight the perceptions that the chain's food is overly processed or that it is not freshly prepared.
The company has battled rumors over the past couple of years that it uses "pink slime" in its beef and questions about why its food doesn't rot.
The videos give consumers a behind-the-scenes look at the real (and not always perfect) ingredients behind some of the most popular items on the McDonald's menu.
So far, the advertising is getting a positive reaction from consumers.

Yes, they have only come in search of asylum, but they have turned to helping hands for those from whom they seek asylum. The 6.2 magnitude earthquake that struck in Italy made them proffer helping hands to the affected community. These asylum seekers conferred among themselves to help the affected community by donating money to help the affected individuals.
The said earthquake took along with it the lives of up to 250 people in the affected community. Aside the dead, quite a number of others were displaced after the earthquake took their homes along with it. The money these asylum seekers donated was able to help resettle and finance the basic needs of those who were displaced by the earthquake.
Aside donating money to help the victims of the earthquake, these asylum seekers equally lent hands to clear off the debris and dirt left by the earthquake in its wake. These individuals have proved to be impressive helping hands since news of the earthquake broke out. Their helps have proved to be valuable over the days. Their lines of action had baffled charity workers in no small measure.
These asylum seekers number up to 70. They are located at the southern region of Calabria and they willingly parted with 2 euro of their daily allowance to provide urgently required help to survivors of the earthquake.
According to the local coordinator of Protection System for Refugee and Asylum Seekers (SPRAR project), Giovanni Maiolo, these asylum seekers were forced to remember the disasters and wars that forced them out of their countries to seek asylum when they were shown the videos and pictures of the earthquake. In his word: "Pictures and video of the earthquake made them think of the wars and disasters they fled from".
The earthquake occurred on Wednesday, August 24th in a cluster of mountains located at the eastern part of Rome. The area affected extends by 140km; that is about 85 miles. The earthquake occurred in the night while the residents of the area were sleeping.

PresStation provides easy control of multiple transmission channels and can be used to control all the mixing, DVE, and graphics playout features of the branding processors.
New Features for Kaleido-K2 Multi-Image Display Processor
Miranda's Kaleido-K2 32-input, multi-image display processor for mission critical applications has also been improved with multiple new features, including the display of subtitling text, AFD detection, encoder automation support, and enhanced K-Edit display configuration software.

The Imdugud is a Rare Game enemy found in Nam-Yensa Sandsea in Final Fantasy XII. It is a stronger version of Zu. Imdugud is a flying enemy, so the party must use ranged weapons (and/or Poles and Spears in Zodiac versions), magick, or the technick Telekinesis.
Bestiary entry Edit
Derivation: Zu
Zu with needle-sharp teeth that can be spotted flying over the desert sands. This strain, as yet unrecorded in the Camp annals, is hunted in the Nam-Yensa Sandsea.
Requirement Edit
Imdugud spawns in the Withering Shores zone in the Nam-Yensa Sandsea in the portion of the zone accessible only through the Zertinan Caverns. The player must position the party on the center of the circular platform and wait ten seconds (the platform where the party faces Ba'Gamnan for the second time).
Imdugud will spawn near the shore on the opposite side of the zone and fly over towards the platform. Exact positioning on the center of the platform is key to spawning this enemy. If the player isn't in the exact position, Imdugud can take a long time to appear.
If the player takes too long to defeat it, it will fly away temporarily, though it will not heal itself.
Etymology Edit
Imdugud is a lesser divinity of Akaddian mythology, and the son of the bird goddess Siris. In Mesopotamian legend it is a lion-headed bird and the son of the sky god Anu. It is also known as Anzu.
Related enemies Edit
- Dive Talon
- Zu
- Vulture
- Garuda-Egi
- Pyrolisk
- Charybterix
- Phoenix (Elite Mark)
- Garuda (Boss)

Point of Divergence
In OTL, the opening of Parliament was postponed in 1605, so allowing the famous Plotters gunpowder to decay and become useless. The Parliament was postponed because plague made going to Parliament dangerous. However in TTL, a hotter summer kills off the remnants of plague and Parliament is opened in October as scheduled. The gunpowder is still lethally effective and some plotters haven't been given the chance to betray their fellow plotters. King James, Queen Anne, and both Houses of Parliament have gone sky-high together, leaving the Catholic conspirators ready to seize the kingdom.
Plotters' Demise
The plan of the plotters was that while Guy was blowing up Parliament, most of the others would be making for the Midlands, to seize the dead king's elder daughter Elizabeth, from her residence in Warwickshire, and start an armed rebellion there which would spread out to take over the country. The king's elder son, Henry, died with his parents, and the younger one, Charles, was to be taken prisoner at London before the conspirators pulled out, and then brought up to the Midlands to join his sister. However all did not go to plan. Most English people were Protestants and the few Catholics were appalled by the act of violence.
They were in no physical or emotional position to support the rebels, and they were surrounded by Protestants who were hearing of the atrocity in the capital and the uprising, aware that Catholics were responsible for both, and left under the command of their surviving local leaders. The English took up arms in a panic, turning upon the Catholics in their respective areas, and imprisoning or slaughtering them, in an English equivalent to the wave of hate and fear that had, in France, driven the Catholics to massacre the Protestants there on St Batholomew's Day in 1572.
Protestant militia and vigilantes converged on the rebels in the Midlands and overwhelmed them. The conspirators fortunately had not murdered the royal children when surrounded. Their actual conduct when brought to bay was that of a high-minded resignation to martyrdom.
New British Order
The Catholic powers of Europe protested at the slaughter inflicted upon their co-religionists, but the murder of the king, queen and peerage would have done much to excuse it in the eyes of foreign states.
Charles I became king at the age of four. He never had the difficult relationship with his parents that left him determined to abandon most of his father's policies in OTL, and never have made a friendship with his father's unpopular favourite, Buckingham. In TTL he comes to the throne outstandingly popular.
He revered the memory of his murdered parents, and acquired an abiding hatred of Catholicism, and tended to the evangelical wing of Anglicanism. This made him much more popular in both England and Scotland.
His sister married a Protestant German prince, and when he lost his lands to Catholic powers, our, zealously Protestant and anti-Catholic, Charles would have entered the war wholeheartedly on their side. As a godly Protestant prince, with all the serious and devout nature of the real Charles, he would have been assured of considerable support in Britain.
The financial system was under serious strain already, and collapsed under the war effort, but the accord between Charles and his subjects provided a much better basis for an overhaul of it to strengthen the monarchy.
The Catholic majority in Ireland, faced with such a hostile king, were moved to rebellion, but the end to that was the crushing of the Irish Catholics by Cromwell much sooner, and under the control of a secure and popular king.
The Irish problem was solved by a programme of mass confiscation and mass evangelisation, leaving three Protestant kingdoms under one monarch. Thanks to the Catholic October Plotters, the British state was turned into a Protestant absolute monarchy as Sweden, Denmark, Saxony and Prussia all did in the course of the 17th century; but much stronger than any of those.
All the Kingdoms of the British Isles were now reforged. Presbyterianism from Scotland found its way south, bringing England and Scotland closer together religiously. Ireland had been crushed for now. 17th Century (October Plotters)

Quick meals after a long day(18 Posts)
Hello everyone,
I was hoping to persuade you all to share your ideas / recipes for super quick meals for during the week. DH I both work full time, I have recently joined the gym and have settled into the routine of going straight from work. DH also has activities which means neither of us are home until around 7pm at the earliest by which point we are both starving and want something quick and easy.
I have all the good intentions of doing some batch cooking at the weekend so I can get something out the freezer in the morning than can be heated up later but frankly sometimes I just cannot be arsed and would rather spend my weekends doing fun things than cooking large vats of bolognaise.
I do have a slow cooker but whenever I make anything in it DH doesn't like it and says it all tastes the same and is mush.
So, can anyone give me some ideas? I already have a nice quick creamy lemon chicken and pasta recipe that I picked up from this forum a couple of months ago. I also (when I can be bothered to batch cook) serve up meatballs or chilli but that is where my imagination stops.
Any ideas would be received gratefully!!
How quick do you think is quick? I'm the queen of under 30min cooking as it is all the time we have cooking. But DH do help prep so it might mean more than 30min if only one of you is doing it?
This week we have
* pasta salad with feta cheese, olives, tomatoes, avocado
* sweet and sour chicken, stir fried courgette and rice
* chicken korma with beans (pataks korma paste, with added single cream and toasted almonds)
* tomato and mozzeralla pizza (using supermarket naan bread as base)
Also forgot the last one is
* pan fried salmon fillets with noodles, carrots and cucumber in a sweet chilli dressing (dressing is just sweet chilli, soy sauce, lemon juice, sesame oil and chopped coriander leaves)
Thanks Terror. Quick would be around 30 minutes I think.
Love the idea of pizza using a naan base, that is definitely one to add to the repertoire.
Thank you!
Nigel Slater's 30 minute cookbook is a godsend for this sort of thing (much, much better than the Jamie Oliver 30 min book).
Jamie Oliver 15/30 min are both madness! I can do the 15min ones in 30min but it's very stressful and definitely not leisurely.
I really Nigel Slater and also Nigella express.
Thai curry (chicken, pork fillet or prawn, or vegetable) - Use red (or yellow or green) curry paste (with chicken stock, creamed coconut and a splash of fish sauce and the curry can be made while the rice is cooking - takes less than 20 mins once you are up to speed with the recipe. Add some green beans to the sauce while cooking.
I know you don't want to batch cook, but I sometimes cook first thing in the morning, or later in the evening after eating and then use the bolognaise sauce or whatever over the next couple of days.
The above is really easy. As is a prawn or chicken stirfry - especially if you buy a bag of stirfry and the chicken already cut up (more expensive - but probably worth it if it means you actually cook and eat it). Pasta carbonara - very quick. Make a couple of burgers out of mince - takes 2 minutes.
We had smoked mackerel fillets last night with roasted veg and some rice out of a packet. In fact rice in a packet that you just microwave is really handy. couscous is really quick too - have it with some already cooked chicken from the supermarket. Buy a cooked ham and have some salad in to have it with. Lentils in a pouch are really quick and you can mix them with roasted veg (especially if you have left overs from night before) and mix with goats cheese....
I like roasted veg - it keeps quite a while!
Thank you all - some great ideas for me to try, no more last resort toast for dinner !!
I have a little bit of time before work so I could do some prep then ready to chuck in pan when I get home
That pasta linked by mkmjimmy is a staple in my house!
Nigella Spanish chicken. Chicken pieces, new potatoes, chorizo, red onion, tomatoes and drizzle olive oil, tsp oregano and squeeze orange on top.
Roast for 30 - 40 mins about 220. Halfway through stir it all up.
Job done - we have ours with cous cous with chicken stock and raisins in and French bread.
In fact I am making it tonight. It's in the fridge waiting to go in all apart from the potatoes.
I'm fairly certain that quick, healthy, tasty midweek meals are the holy grail!
We eat a lot of pasta - in the 11 minutes it takes to cook the pasta, I can usually whip up a sauce. My favourites are:
Mess'o'pasta (usually chopped onions, mushrooms and chicken or bacon with
a jar sauce pesto)
Cheesy bacon pasta - courgettes, bacon and onions fried up with creme fraiche and loads of grated cheese
Chorizo and herbs - chopped chorizo fried with garlic, then throw on handful of chives and parsley (I buy fresh, chop and keep in freezer) and Parmesan and stir through pasta
Chorizo and green beans pasta - diced chorizo, fried, add beans (or broccoli) to the end of the pasta cooking and then stir it all in with cream cheese
Also, I like grilled lamb (I often put some Harissa paste or ras-el-hanout on it) with couscous - once cooked I add seasoning, oilive oil and some dried fruit and pine nuts or flaked almonds - and salad.
As a pizza alternative, fry some lamb mince add chopped tomatoes and pine nuts, spread a naan or flatbread with houmous and top with the mince mix, stick under a grill for a little while, then seve with yoghurt dolloped on top and a cucumber and grated carrot salad.
Stir fries with stir in noodles always work well, too. I like to add peanut butter to make a satay.
For quick Mexican dishes (utterly inauthentic, I'm sure) I've used the fajita packet mix - add to mince beef when frying to then roll in tortillas with sweetcorn, tomatoes and cheese, or add to cooked chicken and a tin of tomatoes, then layer up with fajitas and cheese like a Mexican lasagne and stick in an over for 10 mins.
I've started sitting down one evening a week and planning meals and I find that thinking in advance about when I'm working late or on my own, I can often get two days' worth of meals from one cooking session by doing a bit more when I have time. I also struggled with batch cooking, because it doesn't seem to have enough of a point, but just doubling up on quantities to get leftovers, or cooking extra chicken one night so I don't have to spend time cooking it the next night, really helps me.
Hope that helps!
From my favourite food website
Chop onion and mushrooms. Crush garlic. Fry until nearly done. Add splash of wine/brandy if you have it. Add either cream, cream cheese or soured cream and a load of parsley. Eat with salad and pitta bread.
Fry onion and garlic. Add cumin seeds, turmeric, mustard seeds, chilli flakes. Add drained chickpeas and a big splodge natural yoghurt. Add coriander. Eat with salad, chutney, chapati.
Omelettes and salad and nice bread.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
My quickest tastiest meals are
chicen kebabs
and chicken/prawn and chorizo rice
This prawn curry is pretty quick too
Wow, thanks everyone. I am feeling inspired now!
Babybouncer, I think I want to come to your house for dinner!! (although I had to google ras-el-hanout!!)
We don't eat anything that takes more than 30 minutes.
For super easy meals we do grilled/fried steak or lamb with steamed veg or salad. Sometimes I will do a tomatoe/pepper salsa.
Salmon parcels topped with lemon, herbs, pesto, butter or any combination thereof. With new potatoes and greens.
Stir fries with rice from a packet.

Casey Kasem Conservatorship
June 2, 2014 by staff
Casey Kasem Conservatorship, A judge on Monday ordered an investigation into the whereabouts of Casey Kasem after an attorney for the ailing radio personality's wife said the former "Top 40″ host had been removed from Los Angeles without his children's knowledge.
Superior Court Judge Daniel S. Murphy ordered a court investigator and adult protective services to find out where Kasem is being treated and report back to the court. Kasem, 82, suffers from advanced Parkinson's disease, can no longer speak and has been in various medical facilities chosen by his wife, Jean Kasem.
Casey Kasem's children have complained that they have been unable to see their father in accordance with an agreement with their stepmother. Daughter Kerri Kasem had sought a temporary conservatorship and was appointed her father's temporary caretaker on Monday. Her attorney, Troy Martin, said the family believes the entertainer has been taken to an Indian reservation in Washington state.
Murphy's order came after Craig Marcus, an attorney who appeared on Jean Kasem's behalf at Monday's hearing, said he did not know where the radio personality was but that he was "no longer in the United States."
The revelation brought stunned protests from Murphy and two of Casey Kasem's daughters, two of the entertainer's three children from a previous marriage.
"I have no idea where he is," Marcus said.
"Your statements concern me even more," the judge told Marcus, who declined to comment after the hearing.
Marcus said in court that Jean Kasem had every right to move her husband as she saw fit. He argued that Murphy no longer had jurisdiction over Casey Kasem because he had been moved, but the judge rejected the argument.
Murphy appointed a doctor to look into Casey Kasem's care and ordered a court-appointed attorney to find out his whereabouts as soon as possible.
Casey Kasem gained fame with his radio music countdown shows, "American Top 40″ and "Casey's Top 40," and was the voice of Shaggy in the cartoon "Scooby Doo."

~Rocket Science~
Sessions 1-7
Session 1-
In session one I learned about the history of rockets. Like who made the first liquid fueled rocket? Dr. Robert H. Goddard. We learned about the different types of rockets also.
Session 2-
In session 2 I started designing the shape of the fin that will be on my completed rocket. I started learning about the progress of rockets over time. And I learned the categories of the rockets to.
Session 3-
In session 3 I started cutting out and designing the fins of my rocket. I enjoyed this because I got to pick the design of my fins so my rocket will be colorful and bright. I started learning about importance of fins and how they are needed to keep the rocket stable and straight.
Session 4-
In session 4 we learned how to properly attach the fins to the rocket to create a stable flight. We glued the pieces together getting closer to the finished project. We learned about the different flight and rocket positions.
Session 5-
In session 5 I learned about total impulse and practiced using newtons second law of motion. I glued my fins onto my rocket, getting even closer to the finished project!
Session 6-
We applied the transition cone to the rocket. This caused it to be more areodynamic and fly through the air with stability. After learning about areodynamics, we, learned about the effects of rocket ballast.
Session 7-
In session 7 I finished up the final touches on my rocket( adding the nose cone and end piece.) I took the post test and learned about what apogee is and how important it it in rocket testing.

.NET Core, Testing, Testing 1, 2, 3!
In the previous post, I created a simple file processor app with .NET Core.
In this post, I want to share how seamlessly unit testing can be done with .NET Core as well.
For unit testing, I have referenced the followings from NuGet:
1. Unit Test Framework – MSTest
2. Mocking Framework – Moq
3. BDD Style Unit Test – TestStack.BDDfy
And by following the separation of concerns design principle, the application is split into separate components as per below:
1. Processor = the main component that has the brain/logic to achieve the task by using different components
2. IDataRepository = the component to retrieve the data/files
3. ILockManager = the component to perform the synchronization
4. ILogger = the component to do loggings
PS: I created the above diagram online with Creately. Pretty nice, isn't it!
Unit testing then became quite straight forward. For example, the unit test code snippet below was taken from the Processor.Tests class where the unit tests are structured by the Given When Then (BDD style) and BDDfy framework will execute the tests by the convention.
[TestClass] [Story( AsA = "As a File Processor Instance", IWant = "I want to retrieve files", SoThat = "So that there is no race condition where multiple file processors are picking up same files")] public abstract class File_Processor_Processes_Items { // Parts of the unit tests have been removed, pls refer to the full unit test at https://github.com/bembengarifin/FileProcessor/blob/master/FileProcessor.Tests/Processor.Tests.cs [TestMethod] public void ExecuteTestScenario() { // the generic type is passed to explicitly bind the story to the base type this.BDDfy<File_Processor_Processes_Items>(this.GetType().Name.Replace("_", " ")); } [TestClass] public class Lock_Is_Available_Immediately : File_Processor_Processes_Items { public void Given_Lock_Is_Not_Being_Held_By_Any_Other_Process() { // setup the expectation for data repository _mockedDataRepo.Setup(x => x.GetNextItemsToProcess(_itemsToFetchAtATime)); // setup the expectation for the lock manager, with the return true when being called IEnumerable<IDataObject> result; Func<IEnumerable<IDataObject>> get = () => _mockedDataRepo.Object.GetNextItemsToProcess(_itemsToFetchAtATime); _mockedLockManager.Setup(x => x.TryLockAndGet(_getFileLockKey, _lockMsTimeout, get, out result)).Returns(true); } public void When_The_Run_Process_Is_Executed() { _processor.RunProcess(); } public void Then_Lock_Manager_Was_Called() { _mockedLockManager.Verify(); } public void And_Data_Should_Be_Retrieved_For_Further_Processing() { _mockedDataRepo.Verify(); } } }
And here's the nice HTML output results (note the report file path where it's generated)
There's no more excuse not to do the unit testing with .NET Core, isn't it?
Happy Unit Testing :)

Hello ".NET Core" World!
Recently I had a chance to look into an application that processes incoming data in a form of files.
I found it's quite a good time to have a play around with the .NET Core as I only have heard about it so far till now.
So what are the scenarios to cover:
1. The application needs to fetch x number of files at a time
2. The application needs to be able to perform synchronization for the fetch, as we may either run multiple processes and/or multiple threads
I managed to complete the code simply by coding the same exact way (linq, cw, read file, etc) as I would normally do for .Net Framework app.
The only difference at the end is the output for .Net Core console app is apparently a dll rather an exe as in .Net Framework Console app.
The execution is by calling a dotnet[.exe] [dll name]
It's been fun to get that kind of small app running without any fuss!
Here's the link to the project/code.
Generic List converter to multidimensional (2D) string array (for excel data population)
This post is still related to the excel data population that I posted 2 weeks back where I concluded that the most performant way for the data population is using multidimensional string array (multi cells & rows).
Let's first take a look at the SampleObject class that we use to populate the data into excel
class SampleObject { public string A { get; set; } public string B { get; set; } public string C { get; set; } public string D { get; set; } public string E { get; set; } }
Now in the previous post, the data population is being done "statically" compiled, means it only supports for that exact SampleObject type/class.
static void PopulateItemsWithMultiCellsAndRowsMethod(Worksheet worksheet, IList<SampleObject> items) { LogFormat("Start populating {0} rows using multi cells and rows method", items.Count.ToString()); var stringArray = new string[items.Count, 5]; for (int i = 0; i < items.Count; i++) { var item = items[i]; var rowIndex = i + 1; stringArray[i, 0] = item.A; stringArray[i, 1] = item.B; stringArray[i, 2] = item.C; stringArray[i, 3] = item.D; stringArray[i, 4] = item.E; } var r = worksheet.get_Range(string.Format("A{0}:E{1}", 1, items.Count)); r.Value = stringArray; DisposeCOMObject(r); }
The above will work just fine until there are other "SampleObjectX"s that need to be supported, so it will be more convenient if we can "dynamically" do this for any given objects.
One obvious answer will be using Reflection but there is also another alternative which is generating dynamic methods using Expression Tree. There are pros and cons between the 2 options above (nicely explained by this post).
In below code snippet, I summarized the 3 approaches
1. Statically
string[,] ConvertTo2DStringArrayStatically(IList<SampleObject> items) { var stringArray = new string[items.Count, 5]; for (int i = 0; i < items.Count; i++) { var item = items[i]; stringArray[i, 0] = item.A; stringArray[i, 1] = item.B; stringArray[i, 2] = item.C; stringArray[i, 3] = item.D; stringArray[i, 4] = item.E; } return stringArray; }
2. With reflection
string[,] ConvertTo2DStringArrayWithReflection<T>(IList<T> items) { var props = typeof(T).GetProperties(); var stringArray = new string[items.Count, props.Length]; for (int i = 0; i < items.Count; i++) { var item = items[i]; for (int iProp = 0; iProp < props.Length; iProp++) { stringArray[i, iProp] = props[iProp].GetValue(item).ToString(); } } return stringArray; }
3. With Expression Tree (no cache is added intentionally for brevity purpose)
Func<IList<T>, string[,]> ConvertTo2DStringArrayWithExpressionTree<T>() { var t = typeof(T); var tProperties = t.GetProperties(); var statements = new List<Expression>(); var listInputParameter = Expression.Parameter(typeof(IList<T>)); var itemPropertiesCount = Expression.Constant(tProperties.Length); var rowCountExpression = Expression.Property(listInputParameter, typeof(ICollection<T>), "Count"); var arrayIndexVariable = Expression.Variable(typeof(int)); var currentItem = Expression.Variable(t); statements.Add(Expression.Call(typeof(Console).GetMethod("WriteLine", new Type[] { typeof(string), typeof(string) }) , Expression.Constant("Converting {0} rows with expression tree") , Expression.Call(rowCountExpression, typeof(object).GetMethod("ToString")))); // Initialize string array based on the items row count and the var stringArrayVariable = Expression.Variable(typeof(string[,])); var newArrayExpression = Expression.NewArrayBounds(typeof(string), rowCountExpression, itemPropertiesCount); var initializeArray = Expression.Assign(stringArrayVariable, newArrayExpression); statements.Add(initializeArray); // Prepare item assignments here as it requires loop on the properties which can't be done inline var itemStatements = new List<Expression>(); itemStatements.Add(Expression.Assign(currentItem, Expression.Property(listInputParameter, "Item", arrayIndexVariable))); for (int pIndex = 0; pIndex < tProperties.Length; pIndex++) { var propExpression = Expression.Property(currentItem, tProperties[pIndex]); itemStatements.Add(Expression.Assign(Expression.ArrayAccess(stringArrayVariable, new List<Expression> { arrayIndexVariable, Expression.Constant(pIndex) }), propExpression)); } itemStatements.Add(Expression.PostIncrementAssign(arrayIndexVariable)); // iterate the items var label = Expression.Label(); var forLoopBody = Expression.Block( new[] { arrayIndexVariable }, // local variable Expression.Assign(arrayIndexVariable, Expression.Constant(0)), // initialize with 0 Expression.Loop( Expression.IfThenElse( Expression.LessThan(arrayIndexVariable, rowCountExpression), // test Expression.Block(new[] { currentItem }, itemStatements), // execute if true Expression.Break(label)) // execute if false , label)); statements.Add(forLoopBody); // return statement statements.Add(stringArrayVariable); var body = Expression.Block(stringArrayVariable.Type, new[] { stringArrayVariable }, statements.ToArray()); var compiled = Expression.Lambda<Func<IList<T>, string[,]>>(body, listInputParameter).Compile(); return compiled; }
the expression tree "body" in DebugView
.Block(System.String[,] $var1) { .Call System.Console.WriteLine("Converting {0} rows with expression tree", .Call ($var2.Count).ToString()); $var1 = .NewArray System.String[$var2.Count,5]; .Block(System.Int32 $var3) { $var3 = 0; .Loop { .If ($var3 < $var2.Count) { .Block(ExcelDataPopulator.SampleObject $var4) { $var4 = $var2.Item[$var3]; $var1[$var3,0] = $var4.A; $var1[$var3,1] = $var4.B; $var1[$var3,2] = $var4.C; $var1[$var3,3] = $var4.D; $var1[$var3,4] = $var4.E; $var3++ } } .Else { .Break #Label1 { } } } .LabelTarget #Label1: }; $var1 }
From the performance benchmark side,
var sw = Stopwatch.StartNew(); var items = Enumerable.Range(1, 1000000).Select(i => new SampleObject { A = "A" + i, B = "B" + i, C = "C" + i, D = "D" + i, E = "E" + i }).ToList(); string[,] stringArray = null; LogFormat("Initialized {0} rows, {1} ms", items.Count.ToString(), sw.ElapsedMilliseconds.ToString()); sw.Restart(); for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) stringArray = ConvertTo2DStringArrayStatically(items); LogFormat("Convert with statically is completed in {0} ms", sw.ElapsedMilliseconds.ToString()); sw.Restart(); for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) stringArray = ConvertTo2DStringArrayWithReflection(items); LogFormat("Convert with reflection is completed in {0} ms", sw.ElapsedMilliseconds.ToString()); sw.Restart(); for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) stringArray = ConvertTo2DStringArrayWithExpressionTree<SampleObject>()(items); LogFormat("Convert with expression tree is completed in {0} ms", sw.ElapsedMilliseconds.ToString()); // log output: //Initialized 1,000,000 rows, 1,747 ms //Convert with statically is completed in 1,077 ms //Convert with reflection is completed in 10,915 ms //Convert with expression tree is completed in 1,617 ms
So conclusions:
- statically will always be the most performant but maintainability is a bit of a challenging if we have many objects/types to support.
- reflection is 10x slower but the code is much simpler
- dynamic method via expression tree is having more code to build the expressions but the performance is only slightly slower than statically compiled option.
There are couple of more options available that I didn't cover above:
- Code generation using class metadata/reflection
- Reflection.Emit

Generate (lazy and infinite) list of excel column names sequence
While I was looking into the excel data population, I found that in order to populate the data with different column size (fields) into excel, I will definitely require some list of excel column names for this purpose.
// "A" = column index (int) to populate from // "E" = column index (int) based on A above + total fields count worksheet.get_Range("A1:E10000");
The interesting here is how the excel column names sequence is not the same as number sequence (below)
There are various ways described here which will get the job done, and excel is limited to 16,384 columns (last column name is XFD)
However, I'm keen to create a function which can generate "unlimited" sequence. I got this idea from the recent Functional Programming course where Haskell has this infinite list and lazy evaluation and in C#, this laziness can be represented with IEnumerable and yield.
Here's the function:
/// <summary> /// This is an infinite list of excel kind of sequence, the caller will be controlling how much of data that it really requires /// The method signature is very similar to Enumerable.Range(start, count) /// /// Whereas, the other 2 optionals parameters are not for the caller, they are only for internal recursive call /// </summary> /// <param name="start">The value of the first integer in the sequence.</param> /// <param name="count">The number of sequential integers to generate.</param> /// <param name="depth">NOT TO BE SPECIFIED DIRECTLY, used for recursive purpose</param> /// <param name="slots">NOT TO BE SPECIFIED DIRECTLY, used for recursive purpose</param> /// <returns></returns> IEnumerable<int[]> Iterate(int start, int count, int depth = 1, int[] slots = null) { if (slots == null) slots = new int[depth]; for (int i = start; i < start + count; i++) { slots[depth - 1] = i; if (depth > 1) foreach (var x in Iterate(start, count, depth - 1, slots)) yield return x; else yield return slots.Reverse().ToArray(); } if (slots.Length == depth) foreach (var x in Iterate(start, count, depth + 1, null)) yield return x; }
Any of the code below will generate the same column names from "A" to "XFD" in 30ms on my laptop (i7 2.5Ghz Quad core)
foreach (var item in Iterate(0, 26).Take(16384)) { var columnName = string.Join("-", item.Select(x => (char)(x + 65)).ToArray()).Trim(); Debug.WriteLine(columnName); } foreach (var item in Iterate(65, 26).Take(16384)) { var columnName = string.Join("-", item.Select(x => (char)x).ToArray()).Trim(); Debug.WriteLine(columnName); }
And the most interesting "infinite" test :)
var i = 0; foreach (var item in Iterate(0, 26)) { var columnName = string.Join("-", item.Select(x => (char)(x + 65)).ToArray()).Trim(); Debug.WriteLine("#{0} = {1}", i, columnName); i++; } /* #0 = A ..... #16383 = X-F-D (excel limit) ..... #133866109 = K-F-X-J-T-N ..... #321272406 = A-A-A-A-A-A-A ..... */
Ways to populate data into excel via C# and excel interop (with performance comparison)
Few days ago I was looking into some excel automation code where I need to fetch the data from the back end and then write/populate the data into excel.
There are 3 ways that we can populate the data into excel via excel interop.
1. Single cell
var r1 = worksheet.get_Range("A1"); // single cell r1.Value = "A1";
2. Multi cells for 1 row
var r2 = worksheet.get_Range("A2:C2"); // multi cells in 1 row r2.Value = new[] { "A2", "B2", "C2" };
3. Multi cells & rows
var r3 = worksheet.get_Range("A3:C4"); // multi cells & rows r3.Value = new string[,] { { "A3", "B3", "C3" }, { "A4", "B4", "C4" } }; ;
As the work is related to large volume of data (100K rows), I looked further into the options above to find the most performant one.
So I came up with a list of 100k rows very simple object (5 properties), gave each option a run, and got the stats:
Start populating 100,000 rows using single cell method Populate data completed in 196,206 ms Start populating 100,000 rows using multi cells (per 1 row) method Populate data completed in 43,039 ms Start populating 100,000 rows using multi cells and rows method Populate data completed in 1,028 ms
Sample output
Quite staggering differences between the options and I'm quite impressed with the excellent performance of the multi cells/rows option.
Included the code snippets below for quick view (full source code is also available at https://github.com/bembengarifin/ExcelDataPopulator)
static void PopulateItemsWithSingleCellMethod(Worksheet worksheet, IList<SampleObject> items) { LogFormat("Start populating {0} rows using single cell method", items.Count.ToString()); for (int i = 0; i < items.Count; i++) { var item = items[i]; var rowIndex = i + 1; var r1 = worksheet.get_Range("A" + rowIndex); r1.Value = item.A; DisposeCOMObject(r1); var r2 = worksheet.get_Range("B" + rowIndex); r2.Value = item.B; DisposeCOMObject(r2); var r3 = worksheet.get_Range("C" + rowIndex); r3.Value = item.C; DisposeCOMObject(r3); var r4 = worksheet.get_Range("D" + rowIndex); r4.Value = item.D; DisposeCOMObject(r4); var r5 = worksheet.get_Range("E" + rowIndex); r5.Value = item.E; DisposeCOMObject(r5); } } static void PopulateItemsWithMultiCellsOneRowMethod(Worksheet worksheet, IList<SampleObject> items) { LogFormat("Start populating {0} rows using multi cells (per 1 row) method", items.Count.ToString()); for (int i = 0; i < items.Count; i++) { var item = items[i]; var rowIndex = i + 1; var r = worksheet.get_Range(string.Format("A{0}:E{0}", rowIndex)); r.Value = new[] { item.A, item.B, item.C, item.D, item.E }; DisposeCOMObject(r); } } static void PopulateItemsWithMultiCellsAndRowsMethod(Worksheet worksheet, IList<SampleObject> items) { LogFormat("Start populating {0} rows using multi cells and rows method", items.Count.ToString()); var stringArray = new string[items.Count, 5]; for (int i = 0; i < items.Count; i++) { var item = items[i]; var rowIndex = i + 1; stringArray[i, 0] = item.A; stringArray[i, 1] = item.B; stringArray[i, 2] = item.C; stringArray[i, 3] = item.D; stringArray[i, 4] = item.E; } var r = worksheet.get_Range(string.Format("A{0}:E{1}", 1, items.Count)); r.Value = stringArray; DisposeCOMObject(r); }
Setting up notepad++ for haskell programming
I have been playing with Haskell for the past few weeks now, since I enrolled in "Introduction to Functional Programming" at edX.org. It's quite interesting and challenging at the same time for me as I have always been doing imperative programming such as C#, so it does take some efforts for me to digest the language.
I started with GHCi where I can interactively play with haskell expressions then tried (Linux) VI editor but I found opening 2 windows/tabs (1 for editing and 1 for compile/run) was just somewhat inconvenience.
After searching and trying couple of other code editors for a while, I finally stick with Notepad++, because it allows 1 single shortcut/click to compile/run the haskell code (sweet!). There are IDEs as well but I didn't try much as code editor is quite sufficient for me now.
This is pretty useful as what you can see below, I can just press Ctrl+F6 which will open a console + run the main + terminate the app in 1 go. It's up to us how we want to run the app, for example "ghci -XHaskell98 helloWorld.hs" will load the module and display the GHCi in the console for further user interactive input.
1 other notable IDE that is really good is the FP Haskell Centre which is online and can even be integrated to github.
protobuf-net v2 performance test
This is a continuation from my previous post of Run time initialisation of protobuf-net v2 without annotation
I listed couple of ways to use protobuf-net v2:
- annotation on the class (ProtoContractAttribute) and property (ProtoMemberAttribute)
- annotation only on the class (ProtoContractAttribute) with ImplicitFields named parameter
- run time registration using the default model (RuntimeTypeModel.Default)
- run time registration with separate type model which supports run time compilation (from the method description -> Fully compiles the current model into a static-compiled serialization dll)
- precompiled serializer (this is not really a different method, but a further optimisation to the 1st and 2nd options above)
Based on the list above, I created some performance tests using a class defined with 150+ properties (mixed with string, custom classes) to make it closer to real life entity that I have in the project.
And below is the statistics produced by the test for different collection sizes, ordered by the most "efficient" ones to regular binary serialization for comparison purpose.
- Performance : Precompiled serializer seems to be the notable performant option, although as you can see below, the other protobuf options are not very far off from one to another as well
- Size : ImplicitFields seems to be the smallest in size, although it's not far off to other options, although the run time compiled model option seems to be on the higher end.
Please note that this benchmark below is purely for my curiosity purpose, please do NOT refer this as a guidelines for any of your application.
The main reason why I'm saying the above is because I actually found somewhat different statistics when I tried to run this on the real class/model being used in my project.
The performance is somewhat as below between, however the size was the quite surprising factor where the memory size for the run time registration was 50% higher than the annotation option hence we ended up sticking up with the full annotation option as size is a very important factor as we need to send the data through the wire hence any significant size increase will introduce latency.
So again, moral of the story, please ALWAYS run a benchmark using your real project before jumping into any conclusion.

How can I set the same Width for different fields?Asked by AMcKelvey on April 22, 2014 at 03:13 PMAlso, why won't the field where people type stay the width that I keep trying to set them up as? I expand them, save it, and it keeps reverting to a smaller field - it makes the form look unprofessional with different width fields and I don't know how to fix them.
This thread is related to a secondary issue that was split from your other thread found here in regards to this form - http://form.jotform.us/form/41055311090137.
I believe you are referring to the text-areas where they can be resized due to the corner option found on the bottom right. Is that what you meant?
One option you have is to use our Autosize-TextArea Widget which looks like another textarea box that will only automatically resize itself depending on how much text is placed into it.
Another way that I know of which might work would be to turn the boxes into a " Rich Text " format but then it adds the toolbar extras so I'm not sure if that'd be something you would be okay with.

The Union
On Adolf Hitler's deathbed, he talked of the Union of the Germanic Empire and British Empire. Hitler died at age 77 in 1966 of ill health.
He said "For me to deliver my promise of a Thousand Year Reich, I must restore the monarchy to the fatherland; the British Monarchy has Germanic blood and the British culture is very much equal to our own. I have always believed in a free Germany, and now that I have rid it of its enemies within, democracy should be possible in its delivery".
Chancellor Kohl promised to the Germanic people to hold a referendum on the issue in 1969, after they saw what life was like under him. In March 1969, the referendum was held, and 82% issued a 'YES' vote. The following year, Germany and its empire came under British sovereignty. The flag combined the German eagle and British Commonwealth flag.
In 1973 it was decided that a president should govern over the nations, with each electing a Prime Minister. Liam Charles was elected in June 1973. The former United States Prime Minister won by 700 million votes to beat Australian Labor candidate Michael Sherman.

So, those of you who care (opposed to those who forgot I existed) have probably been wondering where on God's green earth I've been... Anybody? No? Fine, jeez.
At the time being, I am nestled in a chair in a trailer in south Texas. So there. I've been on the road. In Canada. And Montana. And Idaho. And on a plane from Seattle to San Antonio. And now I get to spend time with my erratic, loving mother. Who is, at this moment, working at Subway. Where she is the manager.
I am currently not sleeping at 7:30 am. Which is odd, because I am usually asleep, or falling asleep, at 7:30 am. And waking up at noon. In the summer, this is my schedule, as that is how my body shapes itself around my electronic entertainment agenda (as follows):
- From ten o'clock p.m. to three o'clock a.m., I am watching The Nanny on nick@nite. And yes, I stay up to watch The Nanny.
- From three o'clock to four o'clock, I wiki.
- From four o'clock to six o'clock, I facebook.
- From six to seven, I play whatever on my DS.
- At seven o'clock, everything is turned off and I go to sleep.
Of course, today my schedule went like this:
- From ten o'clock p.m. to seven o'clock a.m., play Super Mario Galaxy 2.
Yes, I know. There is only one thing on this list. But I hadn't bought Super Mario Galaxy 2 yet, and my mom had, so I'm going gaga for it. I'll get over it in a week or two, after I beat the game (hehe).
So, back to the point (being my disappearance), I have been travelling. And otherwise occupied. But I'M BACK.
Oh, and Dotty moved out of De Lana. Just saying.

Dear Tim
Kelsey @kels_giroux gave these two links in her blog https://www.coetail.com/kelsgiroux/2013/04/04/the-many-masks-we-wear/:
It seems like this might be the future of résumes .
Interestingly, I just finished updating my résume with someone very active in the field of HR in education and we went with the traditional paper format.
I think it's probably prudent to have two formats. One traditional format if your interviewer is "traditional". If you're looking for a tech integration post, I would make sure I had an infographic one.
Good luck!

Bo Gio made his way down to Miami from New York City to get that straight cock of his in front of the camera on Men Over 30. He's been working out, keeping in shape, and watching his diet. And he still doesn't have a steady girlfriend, which is part of the reason he headed to Miami -- he needed someone to work over his cock. Midwestern Maverick Dean Tucker loves sucking cock, so he was just the guy to give Bo his first gay blowjob. Bo has always been open-minded and secure with his sexuality, and he's always been curious if the rumours about gay men are true. Dean has a sexy hairy body and he's a nice contrast to Bo's smooth torso and trimmed pubes. Bo is a little more comfortable at first being the aggressor, so Dean lies back on the sofa and Bo fucks his mouth. But as Bo relaxes, he even lies on his stomach and spreads his butt cheeks for Dean's tongue. Dean gets down on his knees and sucks Bo's cock some more, and then, the two men jack off together. By the end of the scene Bo is pretty sure the rumours are true -- gay men give better blowjobs!

When I date someone, if I am not really into them, I have to end it -, I think it's unfair to string someone along. The longest I've ever hung in there with someone was 2 months, to see if maybe things changed since the guy had a lot of good qualities. How long can you hold onto someone before you inevitably realize you just can't do it?

Jaipur, Feb. 28: The Ashok Gehlot government in Rajasthan was caught on the wrong foot in the Assembly over the under-utilisation of Central funds for water supply schemes during the past four years.
The revelation left the ruling Congress members stunned as the ruling party has been accusing the Centre of inadequate financial aid to the state to meet the long spell of drought.
Replying to a starred question posed by the BJPs Rajendra Rathore, public health engineering minister C.P. Joshi conceded that the state had failed to fully utilise Central funds for water supply schemes in rural and urban areas from 1998-99.
These schemes included the Accelerated Rural Water Supply Scheme, the Accelerated Urban Water Supply Scheme, the ARP for desert areas, the Prime Ministers Gramodaya Yojna, the Churu-Bisau Scheme and the Defluoridation Scheme.
Figures available for these schemes for the current financial year till December revealed tardy implementation.
When the minister argued that it could be due to the delayed release of funds and assured full utilisation by March end, the Opposition demanded that Gehlot be summoned to the House.
There was pandemonium in the Assembly when agitated Opposition members rushed to the well twice and started raising slogans against the government, resulting in a walkout by the Opposition during question hour.
Opposition leader Gulab Chand Kataria of the BJP and Amara Ram of the CPM pointed out that Gehlot had made a habit of accusing the Centre of inadequate assistance to the drought-hit state and criticised the government for its reckless and criminal attitude towards the drinking water crisis.
Rathore pointed out that the unutilised money in many of these schemes was as high as 30-40 per cent of the total funds available. Less than 50 per cent of the funds have been utilised during the current financial year till December, he said.

Thevetia peruviana
Thevetia Trees are featured frequently in Houston landscapes, especially in commercial areas. Thevetia are a small to medium sized tree capable of filling the role of a full-sized tree while taking up much less space . Thevetia Trees grow quickly and establish a large umbrella-shaped canopy that can provide shade in corners or walkways while contrasting well against walls, brick, or other standard building features.
Aside from their more practical applications, Thevetia produce a healthy amount of coral-shaped yellow or orange flowers that can add good color to your landscape. While it does produce flowers, Thevetia holds their blooms for long periods of time, resulting in longer lasting color with minimal clean-up and maintenance. Thevetia Trees provide very important benefits to many areas where other trees won't fit, and ask for very little water and clean-up in return.

Now you can feel good about your investments, both morally and financially. We designed a socially-responsible portfolio that prioritizes low carbon emissions, advances cleantech innovation, and promotes sustainable growth in emerging markets.
See our historical growth compared to traditional investors. This chart shows the impact of compounding–actual returns will be different. We've assumed markets go up an average of 4.3% per year and the portfolio allocation stays the same. WS charges a 0.5% fee and our ETFs charge ~0.2%, while a traditional investor pays 2%. We used the current GIC interest rates to calculate a rate of return for savings accounts. This chart shows the impact of compounding–actual returns will be different.

It says GAG will not post anything on your Facebook if you connect them, but I'm wondering, does it start to bug your FB friends somehow with advertisement or something? Or is it really completely invisible on your and your friends' Facebook?
Has any of you connected their GAG to their Facebook?
Have an opinion?

I don't wanna connect them because I don't want my Facebook friends to know that I'm on this site. Just wanna keep it personal. I don't share anything private about my Facebook friends but I still just want to keep this to myself.10|10|0
That's what I'm trying to find out - if any of my FB friends would see it.

Well, if you have a close friend on Facebook who you are okay with knowing that you are on this site then you can try connecting your GAG with Facebook and ask him/her if they see something different or not. If they do then you can disconnect. I don't have any close friends at all so I can't do that experiment. I would if I had a close friend.
Good idea, thanks.
No, I don't have Facebook.
Had it before and deleted it numerous times. Done with it.00|00|0
Numerous times? Why did you keep coming back? Haha.
I had Facebook waaaaaayyy back when you had to be invited to it, got sick of it, came back because people in my age group didn't seem to connect other ways, got sick of it, came back because college was the same thing, got sick of it, finally just done with it.
No and I don't intend to00|00|0
