NASA's new application-building challenge can boast one thing no other agency can top: participants aboard the International Space Station.
The space station is included in a list of locations where volunteer developers will be participating in the challenge. A presumably tongue-in-cheek note explains "transportation will not be provided."
The apps challenge scheduled for April 21 and 22 will also be held at 11 Earth-bound locations across all seven continents, including at the McMurdo Research Station in Antarctica.
The challenge is actually seven smaller challenges mostly structured around building software, hardware or a data visualization that makes space-generated or space-related data easier for ordinary citizens and developers to access.
One more-detailed challenge is to build an application that allows random participants to estimate the circumference of Earth by aggregating local observations, a feat first performed by the Greek astronomer Eratosthenes about 2,500 years ago, according to the challenge.

This invention relates generally to the field of computer programs providing customized solutions to programming needs wherein the customized solutions are developed from knowledge entered by a subject matter expert. More particularly, the invention relates to a modeler implemented by a computer program. The modeler is operable to develop and program, without the efforts of a computer programmer, customized software solutions based on rules input by the subject matter expert.
Computers and computer systems have become an integral part of our lives both at home and at work, and their versatility seems limited only by the imagination of the computer programmers and the software engineers that design and program applications for operation on computers. Thus, computers are powerful and nearly indispensable tools capable of managing home finances and controlling complex production processes and equipment, and organizations frequently decide to utilize computer systems to achieve automation. Though the benefits of automation are significant, the computer systems implementing the automation are only as good as the system architects, designers, programmers, integrators, and testers, collectively known as software engineers that develop them. With so much depending on the skills of the software engineers and with the increasing proliferation of computers and computer systems, industry and even society has become dependent on increasingly scarce software engineers for implementation of automation. Indeed, an entire training industry has developed to meet the ever increasing need for skilled software engineers.
When confronted with the task of implementing automation, organizations frequently retain software engineers to develop and implement custom computer systems with custom software. As software engineers develop a custom system, they analyze the system requirements, architect the system, design the software, code the software, integrate the software, test the components and the system and operate and maintain the system. Typically, this is an iterative design process requiring extensive interaction between the software engineers and the subject matter expert (SME) or experts of the organization. As the software engineers and the SME repeatedly go through these iterations, they encounter numerous inefficiencies and problems inherent to the process. In the system analysis and design phases, the SME must work closely with the software engineers to define the problem. Essentially, the SME must convey all relevant knowledge to the software engineers. Obviously, there are many opportunities for miscommunication between the SME and the programmers or simply omission of pertinent information.
After the SME's knowledge is thought to be transferred, the software engineers begin hard designing and coding the software solution, integrate, and test it. The SME typically has no indication of how the project is going until the software engineers return a functioning program to the SME, and upon review, not surprisingly, the program may not completely or accurately accomplish the desired automation. Thus, the SME and software engineers again engage in the transfer of knowledge from the SME to the engineers, and this exchange may take place several times creating what is sometimes called a knowledge acquisition bottleneck. Each time the software engineer learns more from the SME, they must attempt to alter a system design that is already fixed. Depending on the complexity of the system and the quality of the design, this can range from difficult and time consuming to impossible. Thus, the custom design process is fraught with inefficiencies and problems leading, in many cases, to scheduling delays, unexpected cost increases, and perhaps even failure. Additionally, if after several years of use, changes need to be made to the software or system, the software engineers must be brought back, and the same iterative design process is performed. Therefore, custom development is a time intensive, expensive, and risky undertaking.
To avoid the expense and time involved while significantly reducing the risk in custom computer system and software development, many organizations look for software having industry wide applicability. Assuming such software is even available in a given industry, it implements "best practices" for the industry as determined by the software vendors and has limited adaptability and flexibility. Thus, the organization is forced to sacrifice automation of the unique features of its organization to save money. A sometimes less expensive alternative is to equip the SME with software tools such as spreadsheets and database management systems (DBMS). Once the SME learns how to use the software tools, the SME can develop solutions without the aid of a software engineer. However, the capabilities of these software tools are even more limited, and they typically cannot be integrated with other programs and software engineer support. Thus, assuming there is sufficient time and money, the most desirable option is custom development.
To reduce the cost of custom development and increase capabilities, many different programming languages have been developed including object oriented programming languages (OOPL). These OOPL languages have improved the capability and productivity of software engineers but have not reduced our dependence on such computer specialists to develop custom computerized applications. The same is true for computer aided software engineering (CASE) tools, which have given way in popularity to integrated development environments (IDE). These CASE/IDE tools have provided limited productivity improvements to software engineers by providing the capability to create integrated work environments for teams of software engineers and producing code skeletons or outlines. However, these tools are used by software engineers who must still translate requirements from the SME and hard code in the flesh (logic and rules) of the program. Thus, neither CASE/IDE nor OOPL have reduced reliance on software engineers or improved the inefficiencies encountered when transferring knowledge from the SME to software engineers.
Expert systems also provide assistance to software engineers. Generally expert systems perform a task, such as a medical diagnosis, that would otherwise be performed by a human expert. Expert system shells provide the pre-coded expert system components, such as the inference engine, which utilizes conventional backward and forward chaining approaches. However, such expert system inference engines are not versatile enough for applications that are unrelated to what they were originally created for. Further, to implement an expert system shell, a software engineer hard codes in the knowledge, and the software engineer must still work through the knowledge acquisition bottleneck to obtain that knowledge from an expert in the field. Hence, these expert systems are also not scalable across a wide array of knowledge domains without creating enormous complexity.
Thus, a need exists for a software program having a user friendly interface and which enables a SME to develop a scalable custom software solution for a wide variety of complex automation projects, rather than requiring the services of software engineers. Further, a need exists for a software program that can be updated and revised by a SME without assistance from software engineers. More specifically, a need exists for a software program utilizing a model centric strategy providing fluid, that is readily changeable, objects which model problem solution processes in real time.
There is, therefore, provided in the practice of the invention a novel computer system containing a computer readable medium with instructions for providing a subject matter expert interface that is operable to enable a subject matter expert (SME) to enter and develop rules for modeling a solution process or processes that are part of a desired automation effort. The instructions also provide for generation of fluid object material based on the rules as developed by the subject matter expert without the assistance of a software engineer. The instructions also provide for a user interface based on the morphable objects. While previously available programs simply apply preprogrammed code algorithms to data, the present invention is operable to actually develop the code algorithms for application to user information.
Preferably, the fluid object material is operable to develop a class and instantiate the class into a morphable object based on rules input by the SME. The preferred computer system also includes a knowledge database operable to store the rules input by the subject matter expert through the subject matter expert interface. Through the use of empty fields, the SME interface guides the SME through the entry of variables, templates, references, and events, in order to develop the rules which model the solution process. A code generator then injects blank cells and blank contexts with the rules input by the SME developing the fluid object material, which will instantiate into the morphable objects. An instantiation modeler operates to instantiate and morph the morphable objects as the user enters information.
Preferably, a plurality of morphable classes is provided in the automatically generated code, and the morphable classes form coded cells and coded contexts. The instantiation modeler repeatedly instantiates the morphable classes into morphable objects as the user enters known information, and the instantiation modeler repeatedly morphs the morphable objects into progressively more mature morphable objects until a solution is achieved. As the objects morph, the preferably dynamic user interface also preferably changes.
The fluid object material is also preferably provided with a wrapper operable to permit the SME to pause operation and update the rules. Preferably, the SME is able to enter, develop, and change rules while users are interfacing with the instantiation modeler and user interface to obtain solutions to given problems within the domain of the modeled solution process. After the SME has completed revisions to the rules and generated a revised code, the operation of the instantiation modeler and user interface are briefly paused while the compiled code of the fluid object material is updated. Thus, while prior art software programs would have to be re-coded by a software engineer, the SME is enabled to introduce new rules into the system, and the modeler develops new code algorithms, that is, morphable classes/coded cells, and coded contexts, for the new rules.
The code generator, which preferably resides on a development server, is operable to generate the code in a single routine or in distinct segments as directed by the SME. Once the SME instructs the code generator to generate code, the code generator performs code generation automatically and without any input from a software engineer. The code generator takes the SME's knowledge from the knowledge database and codes blank cells and blank contexts to create coded cells and contexts of the fluid object material. Similarly, the fluid object material and the instantiation modeler perform their respective functions automatically, so that no software engineer is needed. Preferably, the fluid object material resides on both a development server and a production server, and the instantiation modeler resides on a user terminal. The modeler wrapper preferably resides on the production server. The development server, production server, and user terminal are in operative communication preferably over a local area network (LAN).
The invention includes additional inventive aspects. For example, a plurality of abstraction levels are provided in the fluid object material, and a data structure utilizing a plurality of morphable objects coded with metadata and processed metadata, provide a computer program implemented modeler that is fully scalable and adaptable to model substantially any solution process. Another example of an inventive concept enabling this powerful modeling program is inheritance from one template to another. Preferably, there are at least six levels through which templates may inherit from each other and result in the generation of code based on the templates. In the preferred embodiments, a data structure is provided for modeling the solution process and includes first and second levels of metadata where the second level of metadata is about the first level of metadata. Preferably, at least six metadata levels are utilized in the fluid object material. In one specific embodiment, the first level of metadata comprises entry fields and the second level of metadata comprises buckets into which the entry fields are populated.
Accordingly, it is an objective of the present invention to provide an improved modeling program capable of modeling, without the assistance of software engineers, almost any solution process based on rules input by a SME and user input.
These and other inventive features, advantages, and objectives will appear from the following Detailed Description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings in which similar reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views and wherein:
Referring to the drawings in greater detail,
The SME terminals 22 and user terminals 24 are substantially similar and will be described with reference to a single user terminal 24A illustrated in FIG. 2. Generally, the hardware and software components of the terminals 22, 24 and servers 26, 28 are selected based on system requirements for specific automation projects, and it should be understood that as improved hardware and software components are developed, they can be incorporated into the computer system 20 as desired. The user terminal 24A includes a monitor 32, keyboard 34, relative pointer (mouse) 36, and desired peripheral devices such as a printer 38. The computer housing 40 contains the necessary hardware (not shown) including, but not limited to, a central processing unit (CPU), hard drive (storage), memory, and communications apparatus. The number of user terminals 24 varies based again on the project requirements. One preferred system includes approximately thirty-five (35) user terminals 24 with the production server supporting concurrent use on ten (10) of the terminals 24. Fewer SME terminals are provided, with a preferred system including three (3) SME terminals 22. Preferably, the development server 26 supports concurrent use on all SME terminals 22.
The terminals 22, 24 also include the necessary software components for operation. For example, each terminal includes an operating system (OS). The preferred OS is Windows NT. The SME terminals 22 provide a platform for operation of a SME interface 42 delivered by the development server 26, and the user terminals 24 provide platforms for operation of a user interface 44 delivered by the production server 28. The interfaces 42, 44 are preferably dynamic graphical user interfaces (GUI) with which the SMEs and users interact to receive and input information. The interfaces 42, 44 will be illustrated and described in more detail in connection with the exemplary automation project for window blinds described below. It should be understood that while the example given is in the context of business rules, the present invention has applicability to any kind of rules, such as academic, scientific, design, and others.
The servers 26, 28 preferably have similar hardware components and can operate as stand alone terminals. However, the hardware components are preferably more robust. For example, the CPUs used in the servers are faster, and the memory and storage are increased. Additionally, the servers 26, 28 include the necessary communications apparatus for communication through the desired communications medium 30. The communications medium 30 can comprise a LAN, WAN, VPN, Internet, or wireless medium depending again on the project requirements.
The development server 26 utilizes and supports a knowledge database 46 and a plurality of software components including an OS, preferably Windows NT and component object model (COM) (not illustrated). The software components also include a code generator 48, and fluid object material 50 shown in detail in FIG. 6.
Referring to
In a method of writing code according to the present invention, the relational database 46 (
The variables 54 are input in the draft variables block 64 using a two piece metadata structure including a "classification" field 66 and a "name" field 68. The classification field 66, typically an adjective, allows the SME to define the variable by its characteristic such as width or color. The "name" field 68, typically a noun, allows the SME to designate what the characteristic applies to such as a rail. The term rail and other terms used in connection with window blinds will be described below in connection with the exemplary business automation project. Note that the empty fields are being filled with metadata not actual data; that is, the actual data, such as a twenty (20) inch width, is irrelevant to the variable. This characteristic is found consistently throughout the draft database. Thus, the draft database is model centric and could be viewed as data irrelevant except to the extent that it is being prepared to receive actual data.
The two piece metadata structure allows the variables to pivot relative to the characteristic or the noun on the basis of metadata instead of data. Thus, after all variables are input, the SME can quickly view all the variables pertaining to the rail such as rail color and rail width, and then the SME can pivot/sort to quickly view all the variables pertaining to width, such as rail width and slat width. The "description" field 70 is simply a place for the SME to enter additional information about the variable. The "variable" type 72 is simply entered as independent/entry, dependent/result, or constant. The "data type" 74 is just what kind of data is going to be entered for the variable by a user. It could be, for example, string, double, long, integer, or single.
With continued reference to
The draft templates block 76 also includes a "gen" field 82, an "include 1-20" field 84, and a "DLL" field 86. The gen field 82 receives a "yes or no" (true or false) indicator. If the SME is working on an incomplete template, the gen field 82 is set to "no", so that the next time the SME generates code, the incomplete template is not utilized in that code generation. The include 1-20 field 84 enables the SME to specify routings for data and metadata, and thus ultimately actual data, into as many as 20 buckets. As the SME drafts the templates, the SME can define new buckets by entering a new bucket name in one of the open spaces provided by the include 1-20 field 84. The SME can also route the metadata into existing buckets, which were defined in previous templates, by entering the bucket name in another of the open spaces provided by the include 1-20 field 84. The DLL field 86 allows the SME to group the templates into specific solution processes. In a given automation project, there may be many solution processes that must be modeled. If desired, the SME can enter all the knowledge for all the solution process and generate a single code segment. Alternatively, as the SME enters knowledge by developing templates, the SME can group together all the templates necessary for modeling a first solution process named "one" by entering the name "one" in the DLL fields 86 of those templates. Similarly, the SME can group together all the templates necessary for modeling a second solution process named "two" by entering the name "two" in the DLL fields 86 of that second group of templates. Thus, when code is generated, several distinct segments of code are generated. This can reduce compile time, and when revisions are necessary, only the affected segment of code is regenerated and replaced.
With the variables and templates to put them in defined, the draft formulas block 88 enables the SME to input what should be done with the variables. That is, the SME can input equations or formulas, which will ultimately take a user from the entry variables to the result variables to solve a problem that is within the domain of the modeled solution process. The "ID" field 90 is simply an integer identifier for the formula. In the "template" field 92, the SME enters the template name to which the formula applies, and the "classification" and "name" fields, collectively 94, link the formula back to the variables. The "condition" and result" fields 96 enable entry of the actual formula in the form of a condition or "if" statement and a result or "then" statement. The "include 1-20" field 98 enables the SME to route, if appropriate, the result to the buckets named in the "include 1-20" field 84 of the template.
The "is override" field 100 of the draft formulas block 88 enables the computer system to perform metadata processing as opposed to data processing. This feature, and others like it, makes the draft database 62 model centric. The SME can put one of three values into the is override field 100: "N" for no, "R" for replace, or "A" for append. If the R-value is used, the metadata is replaced with the actual data. If the A-value is used, the actual data and/or metadata is added to the existing metadata, and if the N-value is used the metadata is unchanged. For example, if the user enters a specific family (model) of blinds and there is only one type of material, such as 8-gauge coil, that is used to make the rail for that blind family, the SME can take the metadata rail and replace it with the more defined metadata 8-gauge coil by entering R in the is override field 100 thereby redefining the metadata to another level. When the user enters a color for the blind, the material type cannot be replaced or otherwise lost. Instead, the color should be added to the metadata. To accomplish this, the SME enters the A-value in the is override field 100 for the color formula, and the metadata is appended to 8-gauge coil: color. Thus, this feature allows the metadata to be morphed and/or appended to the Nth level, and the R-value and A-value permit metadata processing at the same time as actual data processing. Further, the R-value and A-value allow the system to operate more quickly and utilize less system resources because unnecessary levels of abstraction are removed.
The draft formulas block 88 also includes "to template" and "from template" fields 102, which pertain to run time inheritance. These to and from template fields 102 enable the program to push and pull data such as customer information as the user enters, for example, the customer name or identification number.
Still referring to
The draft formulas block 88 also includes an "engage server" field 108 and an "update this list field" 110. The update this list field 110 provides another way that an object will morph and subsequently the dynamic user interface 44 will change. When appropriate, the SME enters a true value in the update list field 110, and when the user changes or enters information, a different list is pulled to the object. For example, if the user initially selects blind family one having available colors 1-10 and then changes to blind family two having available colors 11-20, the object would morph replacing the list of colors 1-10 with the list of colors 11-20. The dynamic user interface would also change, so that the new list would replace the old list in a pull down window. If necessary, the SME sets the engage server field 108 to true enabling the modeler 50 to go back to the production server 28 for the list or other metadata.
The remaining fields provide the SME with further options for entering the rules. For example, "user text 1-5" field 112 enables the SME to provide for special information such as client billing requirements, and the "calculated default" field 114 enables the calculation of a default based on previous conditions.
The draft database 62 also includes a draft lookups block 116 and a draft lists block 118, which correspond to the references 60. The "dimensional type" fields 126 of the lookups and lists blocks 116, 118 enable the SME's to create their own topology of how the data will be stored. The draft lookups block 116 is also provided with inheritance capabilities through the "based on" field 120. A "parent group" field 122 enables the SME to set up a hierarchy among the lookups. The "range bound dimension 1-5" field 124 allows the SME to leave the lookup unbounded, give it an upper bound or a lower bound. Thus, in a pricing lookup, the SME could set prices for drops of the blinds and set the range bound field 124 to be a lower bound. If, hypothetically, two drops for a blind are three (3) feet and five (5) feet, the price for the three foot blind would apply all the way up to five feet. That is, a blind having a drop from three feet to 4.99 feet would have the price associated with the three (3) foot blind in the lookup. A "table gen" field 128 enables the SME to decide whether the table will be generated as a DLL or provided by access to a relational table. It automatically generates SQL statements and automatically goes to the backend tables enabling revision of live tables without recompiling them. Thus, the SME is not limited by any particular database structure, and is enabled with the ability to set data relationships, which were previously only made possible by consuming an unacceptable large amount of storage or hard coding the relationships. This gives the SME the freedom to set whatever topology is best for the underlying data store and select the desired data retrieval method.
An "extended search" field 130 enables the SME to perform a best match search, which, for example, will perform a search of the entire database to determine the largest discount to which a customer is entitled. If the SME enters a true indicator in the extended search field 130, the program finds the last data point that fits. Specifically, it finds one record and uses it as the default; it finds another better record and overrides the previous, and then it finds a still better record and again overrides the previous. Thus, it actually performs a sequential table search from top to bottom.
The fields of the draft list block 118 have generally been described in connection with the draft lookups block 116. The "name" entered in the name field of the draft list block 118 would be entered in the list fill field of the draft formulas 88 for use by a formula. A "force order" field 132 allows the SME to choose between the order in which the list is entered or automatic alphabetization.
The events 58 are input utilizing a draft template events block 134, a draft events block 136, and a draft actions block 138. The fields of the events blocks 134-138 enable the SME to model "actions" 140 that need to occur when a given "condition" 142 occurs. As desired by the SME, multiple actions can be incorporated into a single event. Specifically, this feature enables the SME to input the rules that model workflow. For example, the condition 142 is a raw material being reduced below a predetermined level; the action 140 is printing, and the "object" 144 of that action is a purchase order. Another action might be sending an email to a responsible individual.
Referring to
Referring to the class diagram of the fluid object material 50 shown in
In generating the source code, the fluid object material 50 recursively passes over the draft database 62 (FIG. 4). Thus, the fluid object material 50 is operable to develop morphable objects almost completely comprised of metadata, that is based on the rules input by the SME through the SME interface 42. This is a data mapping process in which many of the fields from the draft database 62 are mapped into the fluid object material 50.
Referring to
Upon receipt of the instantiated objects and after the user inputs a piece of known information at step 168, the fluid object material 50A and instantiation modeler 156 morph the objects at step 172 into mature morphable objects based on the information input by the user. The user interface then changes at step 174, for example, by adding blank entry or display spaces and removing other blank entry or display spaces based on the piece of information. The user interface can also change by pulling in different content (lists and tables) for pop up and pull down windows. Additionally, the user interface may have previously blank entry spaces filled in with options or calculated defaults based on input information. It is also possible that some pieces of information input by the user will not require the user interface to change. If the user is complete, decision block 176, the program renders the solution 178. If not, the program returns 180 to receive additional information from the user. The user then enters another piece of information, and the objects are again morphed into more mature morphable objects based on the previously instantiated objects and the other piece of information. This process of morphing and interface change occurs repeatedly as the user inputs known information until the user has received a solution to the problem. Further, the steps of developing morphable objects, morphing objects, instantiating objects, and display changing are performed automatically.
When, for example, a customer has completed ordering one product and wants to order another, the modeling process illustrated in
The modeler wrapper 152 and library wrapper 154 facilitate communication between the various software components of the system. The wrappers 152, 154 are operable to pause operation of the fluid object material 50A and the instantiation modeler 156 for updates to the rules. When it is necessary to make revisions, corrections, or updates to the rules because of previous errors or new requirements, the SME goes back to the SME interface and adds, changes, or deletes variables, templates, events, and/or references of the site repository (FIG. 3). Preferably, and assuming the changes are not major, the user interface operates simultaneously with the SME interface, so that the SME can revise the rules and recompile the fluid object material 50 without interfering with user operations. Once the fluid object material 50 is recompiled, the wrappers are operable to briefly pause system operation and transfer the revised fluid object material, so that the revised fluid object material is written over the previous fluid object material 50A residing on the production server 26. The production copy of the fluid object material 50A then develops revised morphable objects and the same instantiation, morphing, and display change steps follow. Thus, the fluid object material 50A includes collections of properties including metadata, data, processes, and designs operable to instantiate and morph the fluid objects.
Referring to
The atoms block 192 also illustrates another morphing feature of the computer program implemented modeler according to the present invention. An atom can take on two different constructs. First, it is possible to only fill in the "key" field 194, so that it is a list of keys. The atom 192 can then morph to a table when the SME enters or the modeler automatically fills the "optional value" field 196. Thus, a single object model is provided that can become what it needs to be based on the rules input by the SME.
Referring to
An events interface 214 is illustrated in FIG. 10 and corresponds to the draft events block 136. The events interface 214 guides the SME through entry of the actions such as work order print 216 or obtaining a quote 218 when a condition, entered into blank entry space 220, occurs. The event name 222 illustrated is Activate WO(work order) Status. Thus, the SME is enabled to name the event, set the condition for activation of the event, and select actions from the list 224 of previously entered actions or create new actions as illustrated in
A references interface 230 is illustrated in FIG. 12. The reference interface 230 enables the SME to enter the lookups and lists of data and includes, for example, a dimension blank entry space 232 corresponding to the dimension field 126 of the draft lookups block 116.
Referring to
The user interface also changes by pulling in different pull down menus/windows as illustrated in
The computer system 20 implements a draft database 62, fluid object material 50, and an instantiation modeler 156 according to the present invention to implement a modeler that goes beyond previous OOP concepts of abstraction, polymorphism, overloading, and metadata by moving these concepts to the program/run time level. Thus, the modeler is capable of modeling almost any solution process regardless of the extent and complexity of the solution process. While prior art programs simply apply preprogrammed code algorithms to data, the present invention is operable to actually develop the code algorithms for application to user information. Further, while prior art software programs would have to be re-coded by a software engineer to adapt to new rules, the SME is enabled to introduce new rules into the system, and the modeler develops new code algorithms for the new rules.
Thus, a modeler is disclosed which utilizes automatically coded morphable objects, which are automatically coded with the knowledge of a SME, to allow a user to interact with that knowledge to solve problems within the domain of that knowledge. While preferred embodiments and particular applications of this invention have been shown and described, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that many other modifications and applications of this invention are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. It is, therefore, to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, this invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described, and the invention is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims. Though some of the features of the invention may be claimed in dependency, each feature has merit if used independently.

I've always been a fan of Harry Potter. Therefore, it should be no surprise that a magazine with Draco Malfoy had caught my eye while waiting in line at my local Minyards. I was caught off guard when I opened the first page and realized it was not Draco Malfoy I had seen on the cover. It was one of my favorite country singers being edited to draw an unfair comparison to Draco Malfoy.
Since then, I have seen many more pictures on Google, newspapers, and blogs making a similar comparison regarding Miley Cyrus's so called "Hair-Don't." Who knew a single haircut could make such a difference?
I'm wonderstruck as to why a haircut can turn into such a big deal. You'd think with poverty, sick children, and homeless animals, society would be focused on helping make the world a better place, but here we are critiquing an innocent girl for changing her hair style.
Who says a woman can't have short hair? I'm simply in awe at all the insults I've read, such as naming Miley a victim of the world's ugliest haircut. I can only imagine what Miley is going through. Yet, she continues to keep her style.
We are all aware she could easily go back to her luxurious curls anytime she wants. But she stands her ground. And for that, I salute you, Miley.
We shouldn't feel the need to please everybody. We should like ourselves for who we are. Miley Cyrus definitely knows a thing or two about facing the public. She definitely sees that success is not doing what people want you to do. Cyrus says she feels more like herself than ever before. She is happy with her choice, and that is all that matters.
Miley has definitely inspired to be more confident in my decisions and accept the fact everybody is not always going to agree with me. Thanks to Miley, I'm not afraid to go about without wearing makeup. I no longer look for approval in anyone but myself.
In addition, don't be afraid to be different and change your style. After all, we all need to be able to be flexible and be prepared to step out of our comfort zones. If we don't push ourselves to new levels, we'll never be as good as we can be.
Miley's new hairstyle was a drastic change. I'll admit that. But it's imperative to realize change is not always a bad thing. If you don't try something fresh, you will never know what you really want. I strongly encourage you to do something today you've never done before.
I believe we could all learn from this. So instead of falling into the trap of bashing her for making such a courageous move, ask yourself what she is really trying to say. Is she trying to make a political statement? Is she trying to show the world that she can be anything she wants to be? Or is it just a haircut that society is tripping over?
In a world that has yet to learn how to accept change, showing respect for others is the first step.

Gods & Heroes: Stieg Hedlund Interview @ MMOSite
by Dhruin, 2006-07-14 23:10:00Perpetual's Stieg Hedlund has been interviewed at MMOSite, covering an overview of Gods & Heroes:
MMOsite.com: Currently, we can only experience battle through some screenshots and videos released. Regarding combat system, can you convey an overall concept for us?
Stieg Hedlund: GnH has a highly interactive, action-oriented combat experience. The characters involved in melee combat genuinely interact; strikes make contact, when there is a parry, blades meet, and then there are moves like the GladiatorA!'s Lucator Throw where he can pick up and move his opponent. This system has a visceral payoff that is far beyond what other MMOs present, and is much more akin to console-based fighting games (think Soul Caliber).
Ranged combat and spell casting have equally fantastic animations and special effects that make each of those systems equally rewarding experiences. All of them are very involving you have to pay attention to what's going on and be ready with appropriate attacks and counters.

When Philadelphia Union and Bimbo Bakeries announced a four-year partnership Tuesday that places Bimbo's logo front and center on the club's jersey, the majority of attention centered around, naturally, the altered front of Philadelphia's jersey.
The story that isn't as overtly apparent is the transformational value a deal of this magnitude carries. The impact will be both immediate and lasting, effectively equating to a case study on the intertwinement of the business and competitive sides of soccer.
"This deal has a tremendous impact on every aspect of our organization," Union CEO & Operating Partner Nick Sakiewicz told philadelphiaunion.com. "The financial investment that Bimbo is making allows us to sign better players and invest in our player development system, allows us to invest in practice facilities and improvements to the stadium, allows us to do things on the financial side that we were maybe holding off on or couldn't do before."
For a second year club still very much in the process of building a foundation for sustained success, the resources acquired from multi-million dollar partnerships with companies like Bimbo and PPL EnergyPlus are nothing short of vital. There are also substantial opportunities for brand extension, a benefit that's magnified with the club's newest sponsor.
"Bimbo is going to take the Philadelphia Union brand to the marketplace at retail, so in stores like Acme and ShopRite, Walmart and Target, all these various retailers where Bimbo sells its products, there will be a Philadelphia Union presence," Sakiewicz continued. "So no longer will you go into stores and only see the other teams featured – you'll see the Philadelphia Union brand featured. Very few companies have the power to do that in a dramatic way the way Bimbo is going to do it. "
Beyond the retail activation component, Bimbo has an undeniably global appeal, as evidenced by their presence on five soccer kits worldwide. That was no small factor for an organization that has aspirations of being recognized as America's premier soccer brand.
"The other thing that Bimbo does for us is it elevates the Philadelphia Union brand, not only nationally but internationally," said Sakiewicz. "You're talking about a company that has a rich heritage of soccer in their blood. They're on the front of two of soccer's most illustrious and prestigious teams, Club America and Chivas Guadalajara, a third Mexican club, Monterrey, and Costa Rican power Saprissa. So this is a company that is very deeply rooted in soccer, which is going to help the Union brand nationally, from coast to coast, as well as overseas."
In the minds of fans, though, brand awareness takes a backseat to on-field production. So while the value of Philadelphia's jersey deal extends far beyond the white lines, it's fair to wonder exactly how soon the impact will be felt where it matters most.
"It's direct," Sakiewicz said. "In about a week fans will begin to see the impact of this partnership because we're going to be announcing some significant player signings."
Not a bad early return on a partnership that will pay significant dividends for years to come.

A few days back, President Buhari's daughter, Zahra, took to her Twitter handle to ask Nigerians how she may help solve any problem they might be going through but in return, she got lashed by one of her followers.
Zahra Buhari took to her Twitter handle to post a comment which saying: "What matters to you the most? Be honest." A lady identified as Arike Martins, decided to vent the anger of the current economic situation by subtly blasting Zahra saying: "How 2019 will come fast so your daddy can leave office."
PAY ATTENTION: Get all the latest gossips on NAIJ Gossip App
In reply to the lady who made mockery of her post, Zahra decided to retweet an old tweet she pinned on May 28. The post says: "One can never do enough to please people, so focus your intentions on pleasing your Lord. I long realized this and my Lord is my strength."
Chai Nigerians don't have chill at all o! But how many of you are wishing 2019 should come fast so this lady'a wish would be granted?

Witherspoon rolls on to the Tide
Reggie Witherspoon is back in his element – and at an even higher level.
Witherspoon, fired after 14 season as the University at Buffalo head basketball coach following the 2012-13 season, Wednesday was formally hired as an assistant to Anthony Grant at Alabama. The sides had reached agreement last week pending the mandated background checks.
"I am excited to announce the addition of Reggie Witherspoon to our coaching staff," Grant said in a news release. "Reggie brings a wealth of experience and coaching expertise. His abilities in developing talent and teaching the game are highly respected amongst his peers. His knowledge, combined with his impeccable character and ability to relate to and connect with people, will make his transition seamless."
Witherspoon was a consultant during the past season and did some broadcast work for ESPN and Time Warner. He held a quickly convened news conference at his home Wednesday before heading to Toronto to attend Game Five of the Toronto Raptors-Brooklyn Nets first-round NBA playoff series.
In a scene similar to the news conference he held following his firing, Witherspoon held court surrounded by family and friends. Only this time the mood was jovial as he looks ahead to the challenge that awaits.
"It's a great athletic department," Witherspoon said. "They've had great success there athletically and coach Grant has been terrific with not only me, but he's been great as a coach at Florida, at VCU and certainly at Alabama. … As I've gotten to know him I realize how much he cares for his players."
Grant was an assistant at Florida under Billy Donovan, one of Witherspoon's friends in the coaching world.
The Crimson Tide is looking to bounce back after going 13-19 overall last season and 7-11 in the Southeastern Conference. Before the dip 'Bama had three straight seasons of at least 21 wins under Grant, making the quarterfinals of the NIT in 2012-13 and the first round of the NCAA in 2011-12.
Witherspoon replaces former assistant coach Tony Pujol, according to the school's website, and is one of at least four Western New York natives now employed as Division I assistants. The others are Rob Lanier at Texas under Rick Barnes, Adam Cohen at Harvard under Tommy Amaker and Carlin Hartman at Columbia under Kyle Smith.
"I'm thankful and grateful to be able to serve as part of the Western New York basketball community and to be able to have helped in any way that we've been able to help," Witherspoon said. "I'm just so appreciative and so grateful for their support over the years. It's not lost on me, their support. And I really appreciate everything that they've done over the years."
Witherspoon had a base salary of $180,000 at UB. According to published reports the salary structure for Alabama basketball assistants in 2012 ranged from $90,000 to $183,750. Terms of this deal have not been released.

the error appears in the Template Builder page.
it's true that 'reset all option' fixes the error, but i need the dummy data.
how can i import dummy data without the error?
please help!
Hi xtrabold,
First try re-uploading the theme files just in case there was any kind of corruption on the first upload.
Next, deactivate any plugins you have active and try importing the data again.

Sailor's Cap overcame a 6 1/2-month layoff to blitz past the odds-on favorite Kip Deville in winning the $103,500 Poker Stakes (gr. IIIT) on a soft turf course at Belmont Park June 14.
After disappointing his connections with an uncharacteristically poor showing in the $5-million Dubai Duty Free (UAE-I), Kip Deville returns to Belmont Park in hopes of reprising one of his most authoritative victories in the $100,000 Poker Stakes (gr. IIIT) on June 14.
The veteran Cosmonaut proved he has rebounded from an ankle fracture that had kept him out of action since last July by overcoming Tam Lin to win the (gr. IIIT) $106,500 Fort Marcy Stakes over Belmont Park's Widener Turf Course on May 2.
While the focus of the racing world is on Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May, Belmont Park is offering a program that includes three graded stakes May 2.
Already a graded stakes winner overseas, Godolphin Stable's Tam Lin became a grade II winner on American soil when he wore down Forefathers in upper stretch and sped away to a convincing 4 1/4-length victory Sept. 28 in the $250,000 Kelso Handicap on the Belmont turf.
William Scott's 9-year-old iron horse Le Cinquieme Essai will try to win the Play the King Stakes (Can-IIT) for the third consecutive year, as he takes on 10 rivals in the $200,000 turf event Aug. 23 at Woodbine.
Three-time grade I winner Kip Deville returned from a three-month layoff to handily defeat a small field in the $106,300 Poker Handicap (gr. IIIT) over a firm course at Belmont Park July 13.
Last year's NetJets Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. I) winner Kip Deville has a clear edge in class over his four contenders in the $100,000 Poker Handicap (gr. IIIT) July 13 at Belmont, but will have to carry 125 pounds, which is nine to 11 more than his rivals.

WASHINGTON -- The risk of blood clots in the legs and lungs may be higher for women using the birth control patch instead of the pill, according to a warning on the product's label disclosed yesterday.
The Food and Drug Administration said it updated the label on the Ortho Evra birth control patch to reflect the results of one study that found that women using the patch faced twice the risk of clots than did women on the pill; however, a second study found no difference in risk between the two forms of birth control.
``Even though the results of the two studies are conflicting, the results of the second epidemiology study support FDA's concerns regarding the potential for Ortho Evra use to increase the risk of blood clots in some women," the FDA said in a notice published on its website.
Initial results of the two studies were made public in February by the patch's manufacturer, Ortho Women's Health & Urology. The Raritan, N.J.-based company is owned by Johnson & Johnson.
Last year an investigation by the Associated Press, citing federal death and injury reports, found higher rates of blood clots in women using the patch. The FDA recommended that women with concerns about clots and use of the patch talk to their doctors.
In November, the FDA updated the label on Ortho Evra to alert women that using the patch exposes them to about 60 percent more estrogen than taking birth control pills. Johnson & Johnson previously has said that clots were rare and that they have been reported as a potential risk of all hormonal contraceptives.
Ortho Women's Health & Urology said in a statement that data will continue to be collected for both studies. The company also said it would continue to provide new information to the FDA.
The company reported in documents filed last month that Ortho Evra sales have declined significantly following the previous label revision and the media coverage on the clot issue. Since the patch went on sale in 2002, more than 4 million women have used it. The company also disclosed that approximately 500 people have filed lawsuits or made claims related to injuries they allegedly suffered from the Ortho Evra patch.

I have to children that have been diagnosed with hypotripic cardiomiopathy, the older one had open heart surgery to cut the heart muscle that was too thick, I was reading your articles and they were very interesting, I wanted to try it for my kids age 16 and 11.
please let me know what you would recommend. Thank you
Sorry to hear about your children. Vitamin C is a good idea no matter what the illness at any age. Start by reading Linus Pauling's HOW TO LIVE LONGER AND FEEL BETTER . You would be wise to put the children on his basic supplement program (see page 14).
You might consider adding CoQ10 - 20 to 50 mg, just in case they are having trouble making this molecule required for energy for themselves. I am unfamiliar with this genetic defect (thick heart muscle) and will be interested in any response johnwen cares to give.
Start with vitamin C pills per this protocol
Once you know their "bowel tolerance" we could suggest a product (pleasant tasting drink mix without fillers).

Dell c800 -- SUSE distros COMPATIBILITY
I have been trying to locate some info about DELL Latitude C800 COMPATIBILITY with the newest SUSE distros. I run 10.1.b9 on my
desktop and I wonder whether it would run on this laptop
I am buying. Any helpful hints/advice?
All the best out there and thanks a lot
I'm running OpenSUSE 10 on a Latitude C810. I had to fiddle with the NVida driver a bit to tell it the resoultion for the screen : Dell Laptop resolution for nvidia is 1600x1200
It's a great match.
Hi Jerre!
Do you mean that my laptop probably has an NVidia card?
You know, I have not got it yet - but if this is the case
I would be grateful if you could pass me a link to help me
find this driver (it's probably at Dell's site - isn't it?).
What's your feeling: would it run happily with only 256Mb of RAM?
Yes my C810 is running fine on that. I used YaST to setup half the disk as an ecrypted loopback drive to keep my /home directories on so my browser history is safe if/when the laptop is stolen. Speed is much faster than I expected.
YOU offers to download the NVidia driver. It does it after the installation because of the NVidia license. After the download and install, it guessed the wrong screen resolution, but I just used YaST to fix it once I guessed the correct resolution. It was much higher than I thought.
The C810 can hold two batteries. I found a place on e-bay that sells new ones for ~30 bucks. I ran it 8-10 hours the other day to check the accuracy of battery meter on the task bar.

Pass on McChoke!!
7 years no playoffs, I would take a playoff choker in a New York minute right now.
I know u hate Smith, But seriously u think Mcnabb would come in and learn a complete different system and just automatically take us deep into the playoffs?
He cant win it all with the eagles, what makes u think he can even close with the niners?
He has been on some of the best talented/ most explosive teams in the past decade, not to mention in one system his entire career.
Call me crazy, but I'd rather have our QB getting a chance to choke in the playoffs rather than in week 15 of yet another 7-9 season.
McNabb's always played behind really good OLine's dude. He's always played with a genius HC/OC. He'd get killed if he came here and he wouldn't be playing with the WCO anymore. We did better than 7-9 with Smith last year, not MUCH better but it was kind of a building/transition year for the whole team. MadDog even explained that it would happen before last season, that we'd go about .500 because we had alot of guys just getting their feet wet. We finally have guys playing with some chemistry and building something and Smith is finally showing something and we want to throw it all away for a guy like McNabb who is old and will get broken in half? Dude that sucks.
Not true. Smith didn't get "killed" last year after he took over (look at the numbers). There was actually a stretch where he was hardly touched, and when he was sacked, it was due mostly to good coverage.
I'm not saying we have a great line by any stretch, but having a threat at QB (someone who can read defenses, know where the blitz is coming from and make the right choices) will reduce our sack totals even more.
I'm not convinced that Smith has what it takes to play playoff-caliber football. I just wouldn't take that chance. For the right price, I'd rather go with experience than put my hopes in Alex Smith. That's just me.

PHILADELPHIA — Chaz Williams scored 20 points and UMass rallied from a 17-point second-half deficit to defeat Drexel and former Minutemen coach Bruiser Flint 72-70 in a NIT quarterfinal game on Tuesday.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Franklin-Wright Settlements Inc, Detroit, MI, USA
I worked at this organization for several years and I can't begin to explain the massive mismanagement that went on before and during my tenure. The Executive Director stole money and filtered it through her husbands Baptist ministry and the Program Director was drunk everyday. Working at this organization was the most depressing time of my life and I'm glad that I found new employment before I went crazy. I still have nightmares of the lies and deception that I was ordered to manifest in order for everyone to get paid. Worst job ever.

A strong performance in the final discipline -- the 800 metres -- allowed Jessica Zelinka of London, Ont., to finish ninth in the heptathlon at the world track and field championships in Daegu, South Korea, the highest placing ever by a Canadian.
Sitting eighth in the seven-event competition heading into Tuesday's final three disciplines, Zelinka pulled off a season-best 6.16 metres in the long jump. She threw only 39.59 metres in the javelin, but she capped things off by finishing third in the 800 in 2:12.62, giving her a final total of 6,268 points.
"I have it in me to get on the podium," she said. "I just need to put it all together in one consistent heptathlon; that is the most important thing I am taking away from this."
Also in the heptathlon was Ruky Abdulai of Coquitlam, B.C., who registered a new personal best of 6,212 points. In the 800, she ran a personal-best 2:15.29 to finish 13th overall in the heptathlon.
