Emmer Farro, Heirloom, LOCAL-- Farm Connections®
We are very excited to offer you our Organic and Local Heirloom Emmer Farro, grown on Huntons' Farm in Junction City, Oregon and cleaned at Camas Country Mill in Eugene, Oregon.
Emmer, an ancient hulled wheat, was one of the first cereals ever domesticated in the Fertile Crescent. Over the centuries, emmer was gradually abandoned in favor of hull-less and higher yielding varieties of durum wheat.
Emmer is known as farro in Europe and is staging a comeback as a gourmet specialty as both a whole grain and flour. Farro is a catch-all Italian term for "ancient grains". Emmer is considered the original farro which is why we refer to our Emmer as "Emmer Farro".
Emmer is technically a wheat, a grass, and is naturally low in gluten. It has a very simple structure, and is easy to digest. Genetically different, Emmer has 28 chromosomes, where as modern wheat has over 200 chromosomes. Modern wheat has been hybridized over 1000 times just in the last 50 years, and not for nutritional value, but for ease of production, resistance to disease, and high gluten content. Some people who have gluten/wheat issues can tolerate Emmer very well, even some people with Celiac. Spelt and Kamut have around 60 chromosomes, and came from Emmer. Emmer is around 17,000 years old, Spelt is 10,000, and Kamut is 8,000 years old.
Our Heirloom Emmer is bronze in color with elongated kernels similar to dark northern spring wheat. Emmer appeals to cooks interested in new tastes and textures and because of its nutritional value. It ranges from 16-21% protein and digests quickly. It can be used independently as a whole grain in a pilaf, hot cereal, or the feature in a salad.
Cooking Emmer grain is simple: Add 1 C Emmer to 4 C salted water or stock. Lightly simmer together for about 1 hour (less if soaked overnight). Drain. Yields 2 ½ - 3 cups cooked.

Last night when I went to bed, I got to thinking about my Dad and his cancer, how soon it took his life from him at 67 years young.
He was a good man, a loving husband to our Mother, a good father to his children. I have two sisters. He loved life, a people person and people loved him, the work he did and he loved all animals great and small. My Dad had also served in the Army at a young age and was a true patriot.
Neither one of my parents drank or did drugs. I also never heard my parents arguing. If they did it must have been done in private. While all children get reprimanded when they do something not acceptable, our upbringing and home was one of the best.
Dad had lung cancer. He was a tool and die maker, tool grinder. He drove back and forth to Los Angeles to work at his trade all of my young life and into my adult years. I think in part his lungs were affected from his work.
His passing was difficult, over an hour while hospitalized with his family at his bedside. I held my Dad's hand that was warm when I arrived and became cold as he passed.
Dad had one functioning lung with just 20% capacity.
I miss him dearly and not a day goes by that I am not thinking of him, his busy life, zest for life.
While both my parents were my go to persons all through my life when I needed advice about anything, I always found my Dad to be the most understanding and without criticizing or passing judgement. His answers to my questions were always given honestly and for my best interests. He always had a positive attitude and I can't recall him ever putting any of us girls down for our mistakes in life.
Below are just a few of the pictures I treasure.
Above it a photo of my Dad and my Grandmother Gladys. My Grandmother passed away with brain cancer.
My Dad, home on leave at a very young age. He remained a true patriot.
A small photo of my young parents after they married and before I was ever thought about!
Dad enjoying one of our neighbors parrots! They loved him and they hung out with Dad frequently. Our neighbor called upon him to watch over her parrots when she traveled.
This picture was taken about 5 years before his passing.
I love you Dad, I miss you and now with my own diagnosis I hope you are aware somehow and will continue to provide me with advice. I want more than ever to have the strength and to keep my positive attitude as much as you had with my own journey.

City Salon Suits & Spa offers a full-service salon experience featuring hairstyling, nail care, makeup, facials, spray-tanning, massage, eyelash extensions, medical aesthetics, and more.
Owners Chet and Becca Wilson opened City Salon Suites & Spa in Plano in January of 2013. Chet, a Dallas native, has served the community as a hair stylist and business owner for close to 30 years. His experience as a hair stylist is what inspired him to open his own salon suite facility; he wanted to build a space that he would like to work in himself. "I strive to cater to the specific needs of our stylists and their clients every day," says Chet. "Clients are not just looking for a new hairstyle or nail color; they are looking for a refreshed and renewed confidence, so that their outside truly reflects their inside. We offer a diverse list of services and stylists to make sure each customer has the very best salon experience possible, no matter where they are coming from."
Becca, who hails from the corporate world, manages the business and is also a guest blogger and speaker. "We want to be a a one stop shop where someone can get their hair and nails done as well as a massage," she says. "That's the goal for each of our locations."
City Salon Suites and Spa is also very community minded. "We support local foster children with free haircuts for school and a local home that helps young ladies who are aging out of foster care. The community has been very good to us and we take the responsibility to give back seriously," says Chet. "We want to be an asset to the community, one that instills pride in those who work with and around us."
In August of 2015, the Wilsons opened the second City Salon Suites location at the Harbor in Rockwall, and in summer 2016, a third location in Frisco. Their newest location in North Dallas is set to open in spring 2018.

"I gotsa baby girl in my tummy!"
Every time someone tells Aubrey she's cute, or some other kind of compliment on her looks we have taught her to say, "Thanks! I'm smart, too!!" I die every time.
"I have little boobies! You have big boobies!" (First time in my life I've been told that...)
Before a photo session the other day, I told Aubrey that Daddy was going to watch her while Mommy worked. She started busting up laughing and said, "Silly mama! You don't work!"
"My tummy hurts. I need candy."

Insolvency procedures
What are the main insolvency procedures applicable to companies in your jurisdiction?
- Liquidation
Liquidation - The shareholders or a creditor of a company can apply to the Ministry of Commerce & Industry or the court (the Saudi Board of Grievances) to commence a liquidation. Insolvency is determined by reference to the company's balance sheet and its books of account. If the company is found to be insolvent the Board of Grievances issues an order declaring the entity bankrupt and seizes the company's assets with the intention of selling the assets and distributing the proceeds to creditors. From the date of the order, the company ceases to have the legal capacity to contract with third parties.
Can a company obtain a moratorium whilst it prepares a restructuring plan?
To what extent do the directors of the company remain in control of its affairs during any of the above procedures?
Upon the commencement of liquidation, the directors cease to have control of the company's affairs. The court will appoint a trustee to take possession of the company's estate. The trustee decides which contracts the company performs, can assign contracts to third parties and terminate onerous contracts.
Timeline to commence liquidation
How quickly can a creditor generally commence the liquidation of an insolvent company, assuming an undisputed claim and no opposition from the company?
Two weeks.
Overseas proceedings
Do your courts recognise insolvency proceedings commenced in the courts of another jurisdiction?
If there is a treaty in place between Saudi Arabia and the relevant jurisdiction regarding the enforcement of foreign court judgments then it is possible to apply to the Saudi courts to have such insolvency proceedings recognised in Saudi Arabia.
Position of creditors
Forms of security
What are the main forms of security over movable and immovable property?
Security over moveable and immovable property is taken by pledge.
Preferential status
Which classes of creditor are given preferential status? Are any classes subordinated?
The fees and expenses of the liquidation and debts incurred in the course of the liquidation are preferred over all other debts.
Debts owed to employees rank after the fees and expenses of the liquidation but in preference to ordinary unsecured creditors.
Debts owed to certain creditors can be subordinated by contract provided that the contract does not diverge from the order of priority prescribed by law.
Treatment of foreign creditors
Are foreign creditors treated equally to domestic creditors?
Termination of contract by reason of insolvency
Are contract terms permitting termination of the contract by reason of insolvency valid?
Retention of title
Are retention of title clauses effective?
Setting aside transactions
Transaction avoidance provisions
What are the main transaction avoidance provisions, and who can challenge transactions?
Saudi law is somewhat uncertain in this respect. While there is no statue law which provides for transaction avoidance, the court can and does make orders setting aside or avoiding transactions and obligations entered into prior to insolvency.
Position of directors
Risks for directors
What are the risks facing the directors of an insolvent company?
Under the Saudi Companies Regulations directors of an insolvent company are jointly liable to compensate the company, its shareholders and creditors for losses arising from the directors' mismanagement of the company's affairs and any violations of the Companies Regulations.

"Web services are the mortar. But you also have to consider the bricks and the shape of the building."
"If he's worried about tight employment, wait until he sees massive layoffs in brick and mortar companies over the next two years,"
"Children intrinsically understand that a home is not just the bricks and mortar that physically safeguard them, but the love, encouragement and togetherness they experience with their families within the walls of their homes."
"The center only exists in a metaphysical sense at the moment. There are no bricks and mortar involved now. And indeed, in a strange way, I'm rather glad that it's not related to a specific building; in some way, I don't think it ever can be. I think there's going to be an expansion and a consolidation so that arts aren't ghettoized in a single building, but can instead interact across the campus."

Carrie Underwood recently sat down for an interview with Redbook, where she talked parenting. Here's what she had to say:
On how her onstage persona "Carrie Underwood" differs from the real "Carrie":
"I love being onstage, but that's different. That's not Carrie. That's Carrie Underwood. The rest of my life I feel like I'm incredibly disappointing to people. Like if I run into someone at the grocery store, I really don't know what to say because I don't have a microphone in my hand or bling on. They expect me to be 'Carrie Underwood,' but I'm just Carrie. I'm sorry!"
On having a second child with her husband, NHL star Mike Fisher:
"If my husband were at the beginning of his career, I'm not sure we could handle it. Since he's kind of nearing the end and won't be traveling so much, we're like, "We can figure it out for not that long." You make it work. When I was pregnant, I thought, How am I going to go on the road? How am I going to keep doing my job? I had to just give it to God and stop worrying about it. Sure enough, we figured it out."
How online bullying has changed the way she uses social media:
"I feel like bullies have changed the way I react to the world. You want to be connected to your fans, and I used to feel like I could go through social media and talk to people, really have that communication. But you get to a point where there are too many mean people saying mean things — probably just to get a reaction from you — and eventually I was like, "I don't know if I can do this." You have to have a barrier up, which is sad."
Her advice for working mothers:
"Ask for help. Accepting help is hard for me, but I'm learning. Sometimes I feel guilty that this is my son's life: We live on a bus and we're in a hotel room and sometimes we're in the middle of nowhere and it's not so great. It's not all glamorous. We have a nanny who helps out, especially when we're on the road. But I'd feel guilty asking someone to watch him at home while I run to the grocery store."
How having her son, Isaiah, has changed her as a person:
"I definitely feel like it's changed me as a person. I'm happier. I'm in a better mood a lot of the time. He'll be watching cartoons and I'll be watching him. I'm completely in love. I love it when he's sleepy and I get to hold him and smell him. He doesn't know I'm staring at him and being all googly-eyed!"

Unanswered: Moving DBs with LongBlobs
I've got a MySQL db that contains LongBlobs. I need to move it to a new server. The new server is already configured. I've tried using MySQLdump and ftp'ing the sql file. When I exectute the SQL file against the new DB, I get data errors on the table with the Blobs. Other tables import fine. Is there a special trick? The servers are different O/S's (Win2K and Linux). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

hi there fellow SQL Devs/Admins i have a question. is there a significant difference of using the WITH statement rather than a Temp Table besides less typing. l

Yes. WITH is a shorthand for a subquery. It is part of a query and does not have to write to a disk. It is also portable; the T-SQL temp table model is not ANSI! It is 1970's sybase/UNIX.
In higher SQL products, the optimizers will decide to materialize the CTE and to share it among sessions. They can also do this with temp tables, but they are required to do it no matter what.

It is certainly rare for a flat-out stud running back like LeSean McCoy to exit the field for anything but the occasional gasp of air, but when you consider his fragile, pint-sized frame, the Philadelphia Eagles may be looking for another back to take on the goal-line and short-yardage duties.
Well, Chip Kelly, look no further.
Currently seated in the number two spot of the Eagles' running backs depth chart is Bryce Brown, who spent his 2012 rookie season with the Birds last year. And even though Brown was not hand selected by Kelly, considering the new Eagles head coach was hired following the 2012 campaign, it does not mean that the former high-school phenom should be shoved aside.
While Brown is hardly a bruiser by any means, he has the stocky body-frame and low-to-the-ground running style necessary to produce close to the end-zone.
Brown surely had an interesting rookie campaign last season, as he showed endless NFL potential at some points, but also displayed a very concerning tendency to cough up the football.
In his first two NFL starts combined, Brown scampered for a remarkable 347 rushing yards, while also tacking on an amazing four rushing touchdowns. But questions about his true potential arose once again when he followed up this duo of fantastic performances with a set of miserable showings, rushing for a total of 40 yards on 28 carries during the next two games.
The Eagles decided to bring former Dallas Cowboys RB Felix Jones aboard earlier this month in an attempt to give their backfield some much needed depth.
But Jones is a tiny, shifty scat-back (similar to McCoy) who is not built to handle the short-yardage game. So, it is safe to say that it is down-right logical for the Eagles to implant Brown into the role of goal-line back.
You can follow Joe on Twitter @EaglesRant for all Eagles/NFL insight.

Iran said on Saturday it would stop U.S. citizens entering the country in retaliation to Washington's visa ban against Tehran and six other majority-Muslim countries announced by new U.S. President Donald Trump.
"The restrictions against travel by Muslims to America... are an open affront against the Muslim world and the Iranian nation in particular and will be known as a great gift to extremists," said the statement, carried by state media.
The U.S. ban will make it virtually impossible for relatives and friends of an estimated one million Iranian-Americans to visit the United States
Earlier on Saturday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said it was no time to build walls between nations and criticised steps towards cancelling world trade agreements, without naming Trump.
Trump on Wednesday ordered the construction of a U.S.-Mexican border wall, a major promise during his election campaign, as part of a package of measures to curb illegal immigration.
"Today is not the time to erect walls between nations. They have forgotten that the Berlin wall fell years ago," Rouhani said in a speech carried live on Iranian state television.
"To annul world trade accords does not help their economy and does not serve the development and blooming of the world economy," Rouhani told a tourism conference in Tehran. "This is the day for the world to get closer through trade."
The protectionist-minded Trump formally withdrew the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal on Monday, fulfilling a campaign pledge to end American involvement in the 2015 pact.
Rouhani, a pragmatist elected in 2013, thawed Iran's relations with world powers after years of confrontation and engineered its 2015 deal with them under which it curbed its nuclear programme in exchange for relief from sanctions.

Report from Write the Docs Sydney, March meetup
We held the second Write the Docs meetup in Sydney on 2 March. The presentations were on moving into API technical writing, and the story of the Corilla documentation platform.
There was a good crowd at this meetup – around 20 technical writers descended on the Campaign Monitor offices in central Sydney. We were treated to a breath-taking 360-degree panorama of Sydney from the 38th floor of the building, and a couple of entertaining, informative, very different talks.
The recording of the session includes both talks, and is available on YouTube:
Presentation 1: Transitioning into API Tech Writing
The first presentation was from Priya Varghese, a technical writer at Google. Her talk was titled Transitioning into API Tech Writing. A year ago, Priya started work at Google as an API technical writer. Before that, she had many years' experience as a tech writer for other audiences in the medical, security and education industries.
Priya talked about the questions she had before embarking on this new role, such as: How different is it from tech writing for other audiences? Do I know enough to explain APIs to developers? What if I don't know how to code? Can API tech writing be fun? Her presentation gives an overview of APIs and the developer audience, the role of an API tech writer, the things you need to know, and the skills you need to acquire. One thing Priya strongly recommends is a mentor, and she finishes her talk by wondering if we should develop mentorship programs to guide and instruct technical writers.
Presentation 2: The Corilla Story
David Ryan, co-founder of Corilla, told the story of the development of Corilla and the forming of a startup. Corilla is an online documentation platform for technical writers, providing documentation authoring, publication and version-control tools. David's talk was fun and educational, with intriguing glimpses of the roller-coaster ride of a startup founder.
David described how he and his team had the original idea for a new tool while working with a set of tools that was bloated, clumsy, and not designed for technical writing. Their new tool quickly became popular at Red Hat, where David was working at the time. With Red Hat's blessing, he and his colleague branched out to form their own startup. And the rest is history. Two years later, Corilla is an alumni of the NUMA accelerator in Paris and has customers in more than 80 countries. Watch the video to hear David talk about the journey from then to now.
Report from first Write the Docs Brisbane meetup
Today I attended the first ever Write the Docs meetup in Brisbane. It's the third in the super-popular Write the Docs Australia series.
We started by going round the room introducing ourselves and describing the document we're most proud of. Stories ranged from blogs, books, and job ads, to documents that actually contained the word "blah blah blah" before given tech writer luv.
There were 3 presentations at this bumper session:
- From Hackathon to Help System, by Jared Morgan
- No-contact Customers: Customer proxies and how to use them, by Laura Bailey
- Writing clearly: a super-power for software developers, by Josh Wulf
From Hackathon to Help System
Jared Morgan gave an amusing and information-packed account of how he implemented an open-source help solution for a product that wasn't originally designed to support embedded help. He talked us through the original idea for an open-source help product, which he worked on with a partner. The system was to be written in AsciiDoc. The plan was to render the help on hover, using asciidoctor.js.
Jared and his partner didn't get around to implementing that solution, but an opportunity came up to use the idea at Ladbrokes, where Jared currently works. He initiated the project during a hackathon: putting embedded help into an existing system. There were a number of challenges, because the system wasn't designed with user assistance in mind. For example, there was no easy way to uniquely identify the fields.
Jared introduced us to a new term: DragonForce a solution. The term comes from a heavy metal band that's enthusiastic but not particularly methodical in approach. The basic idea was to render the help content when the user clicked a help button. They also wanted to use open source technology, and to use single sourcing of the content.
The tools:
- Asciidoctor for source content
- Middleman as static site builder
- Franklin as static site framework
- GitLab for on premises hosting
Then came the serious task of releasing the product to real customers. Jared told us how the system needed to be refined and go through QA to prepare it for release. And he gave some pointers into things he'd do otherwise on hindsight.
Jared's take-aways from the project.
- Developers do care about docs.
- DevOps teams to get things done, and are worth getting to know.
- It's good to get outside your comfort zone, and learn the challenges the developers have.
- You can think outside the box, and not let your department define the scope of your role as tech writer.
No-contact Customers: Customer proxies and how to use them
Laura Bailey talked about no-contact customers – that is, people you can't get in touch with. Technical writers need to know their audience. But as businesses grow, customers tend to get further away. So what can you do when you have a no- or low-contact audience? Laura talked about how to be your own data scientist.
Customer proxies are people and systems that you can use to represent your audience. These are people or systems who have a closer relationship with your customers than you do.
Examples of people who may be customer proxies are sales staff, consultants, developers, data scientists. On the systems side, there are support requests, comments, forums, site metrics, surveys, and so on. You need to analyse your own organisation to find out which apply. Laura mentioned that you can even search the Internet for complaints and reviews of your product from customers.
Once you have the data, you need to process it to make it useful. Scrub it and structure it. You may need to do this manually, if you're listening to phone call recordings, for example. Or automate the scrubbing if you can work with log output, for example.
A hint from Laura is to think of the future, when analysing and recording the data. Think about aspects of the data that you may need to use in future, and record the relevant data points now. It's also worth noting that often you're working with systems that are designed for teams other than tech writers, such as sales staff. So think carefully about which data points can provide insights into the questions you have.
Scrutinise your data, and bear in mind where it came from. Avoid confirmation bias. Find as many data sources as possible, and try to support your conclusions with data from more than one source.
It's a lot of work, says Laura. Data and its analysis is one of the biggest problems in the tech industry, and is currently a focus too. So take care to target your workload to the questions you need answered. Use the work to proactively prevent growth of the problems you've targeted.
Writing clearly: a super-power for software developers
Josh Wulf gave a rollercoaster talk about his experiences in developing Magikcraft.io, which teaches children to code in Minecraft. My summation: Trillions of GitHub commits, oodles of smart people, crazy love of code.
Josh invited us to observe 10 seconds of silence for all of the unread docs. 🙂 And he played us some Roger Troutman.
Some nuggets from Josh: Sometimes we think that language just describes things, but language actually creates the world. It gives us the ability to observe our own actions. At first you're unconscious of your actions. But then you write it down, and you can analyse it. Bug reports are a good example. Diagrams do the same thing.
A good way of helping people is to ask them to tell you, and to tell themselves:
- What I did.
- What it did.
That's often enough to solve the problem.
It's a wrap
Thanks to Swapnil Ogale and all the Write the Docs attendees for another great meetup!
Modern technical writing, a talk by Andrew Etter about his book
Yesterday I attended a Write the Docs meetup where Andrew Etter spoke about his recently published book, Modern Technical Writing: An Introduction to Software Documentation.
I haven't read Andrew's book yet, so I appreciated this introduction from the author. One thing that strikes me is how interwoven are two aspects of technical writing: firstly, the processes (the way we glean our material and our efficiency and efficacy in writing content); secondly, the tools we use. Every now and then, I've heard people say we shouldn't focus so much on the tools when discussing our profession and how best to perform our role. I've thought that too, at times. But it seems to me that these two aspects of our work are becoming more and more interdependent. The tools make a specific way of working possible, and the way we think of our work determines the tools we choose.
From what Andrew said about his book yesterday, the content of the book seems to agree with my above musings. Now, I should go and read that book. 🙂
Modern Technical Writing, the book
Andrew pointed out that you can read his book in about 45 minutes, and that he's been allotted an hour for this talk! This comment raised a good laugh.
The book is about 11,000 words. Andrew summed it up (with a smile) in about 12 words, which roughly correspond to the highlighted words in the list below:
- Learn – learn your subject matter and get to know your audience.
- Write in lightweight markup – it's the easiest way to get from a pleasant writing experience to a useful website. Markdown is a good solution, because people want to use it. You'll therefore have plenty of people willing to contribute to your docs.
- Treat the docs as code – version control and continuous updates. The stability of the docs over time depends on the quality of your updates.
- Create static websites.
The book, Modern Technical Writing, started as a wiki page. Andrew needed information about technical writing to pass on to others. He did a bit of research, to see if anything already existed that he could use. Having found nothing that fit the bill, he decided "I'm the writer", and wrote it himself.
What makes a book sell?
Andrew spoke amusingly about an FAQ on the Kindle Direct Publishing site: "Why am I not selling? I am a good writer." The fundamental question is, how do you get people to buy something you're selling? Andrew said with a smile that he has no idea! He doesn't do much marketing or promotion via social media. Here's his recommendation:
If you have something you feel strongly about, something you've shown to your friends and got good feedback on, something you think adds value to the world, then put it out there.
The publishing process
Andrew chose Kindle Direct Publishing as the mechanism for publishing and earning royalties. The rules around pricing are really complicated. The magic happens when you upload your book to Amazon, and they transform it to a Kindle book. Amazon is the market leader in online publication, and your book benefits from this.
One drawback is that you cannot test your book before publication. You just upload it, view the highly inaccurate preview, and then publish it.
The aftermath
Andrew showed us a screenshot of his book on Amazon right next to Strunk and White's Elements of Style. To be near Elements of Style is mind-boggling. But it lasted a very short time. He dispelled any myths that self-publishing is lucrative. He has, however, received very nice messages from people all over the world.
Charging a price for the book
If you give something away for free, there's the perception that it's not really valuable. If you give it a price, people are more likely to see it as worth something.
For his book, Andrew thinks that the price of around $4 is in the right range.
What technical writers do
What is the "differentiated value add" of a technical writer? That is, what do we do that no-one else does?
- Consistency – specifically, consistency in tooling. Without tech writers, each engineering team would pick their own tools, which would result in chaos.
- Accountability – someone has to be responsible for creating good documentation. Andrew remarked with a smile that you have to be able to fire someone if the documentation is bad.
- Creation and curation – writers review and take care of others' content as well as writing it.
- Culture – having good writers around makes everyone else aware of what good writing looks like.
- Good documentation leads to efficiency improvements in many ways. It helps the organisation and customers save time, and time is a precious resource.
Andrew talked a bit about the writing process, project prioritisation, and the team. He joked at the beginning of the presentation that these topics may form part of the second edition of the book, if he ever considers writing one.
The old way versus the new way of producing documentation
Andrew talked about old methodologies and tools versus the new ones, and walked through some code samples. I didn't make notes of this part of the talk. The details are in Andrew's book.
Thanks to Andrew Etter for an engaging presentation and congrats on your successful book!
Report from Write the Docs Sydney
This week we hosted the first ever Write the Docs meetup in Sydney. It was great to see so many familiar faces and to meet so many new people too.
The Sydney meetup is part of the Write the Docs Australia group, founded by Swapnil Ogale. This was the Australia-wide group's second meeting, after the kickoff in Melbourne in September.
The Sydney meetup
We had 22 attendees at the inaugural Sydney meetup. The venue was the Google offices in Pyrmont.
Swapnil was an excellent host. Between the two presentations (see below) he asked attendees to introduce themselves and say what they liked most about technical documentation or being a technical writer.
What attendees like about technical documentation / technical writing:
- I like to explain things.
- The scope of technical documentation extends all the way from consumers to developers.
- I like editing a doc when someone complains about it – that means they need it.
- I like to help things go smoothly.
- I'm married to a technical writer.
- Technical documentation says exactly what it means. It cuts out all the fluff, even when describing an error in the product.
- I get to do problem solving in a creative environment.
- I like the ability to make the documentation a tool that someone can use rather than just read.
- Technical documentation captures stuff before it's lost.
- I truly enjoy the research that goes in before writing the docs. Discovering bugs!
Presentation: Integrating more closely with software product teams
Craig Simms, from Campaign Monitor, presented a talk on how technical writers can integrate more closely with software teams. Campaign Monitor works off an agile development process. As processes change, the technical writing team must change to keep up.
Craig's presentation was amusing and engaging. He told the story of how technical writing started at Campaign Monitor as a community building role, but it quickly became apparent that it was a core technical writing role. Quite quickly, the two writers in the company felt that their role description and placement in the company didn't reflect the value that technical writers bring to an organisation. They decided they needed to join a product team.
Craig described the two years of adventure he and his co-writer have had, attempting to get into a product team. They've not yet succeeded, Craig said with a laugh, but he gave a zestful account of the lessons learned, and the steps they've taken towards that goal. One of the questions that's arisen is this: Is product the right place for technical writers? An attractive alternative is to be part of the marketing team.
This quotation from Craig's presentation in particular rang true with me:
Define your own value, and never stop telling people.
Here's the recording of Craig's presentation:
Presentation: Wrapup of Write the Docs Prague
Swapnil Ogale presented his summary and take-aways from the recent Write the Docs Prague conference.
Swapnil talked about these topics:
- Why he attended the Prague conference.
- Attendee demographics – he showed a lovely picture of the venue and participants.
- Range of topics covered – wide, including fiction and health!
- A deep dive into 2 presentations he found most useful.
- The unconference part of the event – spontaneous sessions on what people wanted to talk about.
- Key takeaways from the conference.
An interesting statistic:
70% of participants are working on dev docs, APIs and UI text.
Here's the recording of Swapnil's presentation:
Where next for Write the Docs Australia?
I've been lucky enough to attend both meetings of the Write the Docs Australia group. Perhaps I can keep a good thing going and join the third, wherever it may be. Brisbane, anyone? 🙂
Musing about Write the Docs and ASTC and STC and more
So many options to choose from! As a technical writer in Australia, I can join a Write the Docs Australia meetup, the ASTC (Australian Society for Technical Communication), the US-based STC (Society for Technical Communication), and more. I've been putting some thought into the differences between Write the Docs on the one hand, and organisations such as ASTC and STC on the other. For me, they all have their place and membership of all of them is valuable.
I'm currently a member of Write the Docs Australia, and have also attended Write the Docs meetups in San Francisco, Silicon Valley and Portland. I'm a paying member of the ASTC and the STC, and support both by presenting at conferences or webinars whenever practical. I've also presented sessions at conferences organised by other bodies, such as TWIN and tekom.
For me, Write the Docs differs from the more formal organisations in that it's an informal community of people interested in technical documentation. The heart of the community is a series of meetups that happen in various parts of the world. There are also a few annual conferences. You don't need to join an organisation – you just join a meetup, and then turn up.
Write the Docs is focused on documentation, rather than on technical writing. The community explicitly welcomes anyone with an interest in technical documentation. This includes technical writers, engineers, UX designers, support engineers, editors, and more.
The primary focus of Write the Docs meetups is API docs and developer tools, but other types of tech docs are becoming popular too. It's up to us, the members of the community, to decide what we talk about.
So, for me, there's a place for both types of organisation, even in a community of writers as small as Sydney or Melbourne. My aims are to share knowledge, learn, meet people, and spread good cheer.
And I haven't even touched on the various social media groups and mailing lists on Slack, LinkedIn, LISTSERV, and so on.
What brought on these musings? The first Sydney Write the Docs meetup ever is at 6pm on Thursday 3rd November. Come along if you have an interest in, or a story about, tech docs – from any perspective.
Sign up here: https://www.meetup.com/Write-the-Docs-Australia/events/234610168/.
Have an idea for a talk for future meetups? Add questions or comments to this post, or add them as comments on the meetup page. Swapnil Ogale, the founder of Write the Docs Australia, would love to hear your ideas!

Happy weekend guys! It's sweltering here and I have SO much to do to get this kids ready for school, so I thought, 'why not sit down and write a post for you all'?! And I have a treat for you today too! We're taking a look at some NAIL POLISH!!!! Also, we'll look at some super cute pet pictures. It's a happy day!
I have two new polishes from Australian brand, Celestial Cosmetics to show you, and the reason I'm putting them on here, as you will see, is they are absolutely delightful. Plus, my blog, my rules, so when I come across a lovely polish I'll have no qualms sharing it with you all. After all, there are plenty of times where I miss good old nail polish blogging.
These two polishes have been created to raise funds for a Facebook group titled, Crystal's Charity Lacquers. Each month two brands are featured to make polishes for which a percentage of the sales goes towards a charity with the charities being different each roll-out. For January, the funds raised will be going towards the OVC Pet Trust for companion animal cancer research. This is a cause which has personally touched both the companies involved and the group organiser herself.
The first polish I have to show you is called 'Duke' and is inspired by this beautiful boy (the one with the handsome tie) who was friend and companion to Nicki, the owner of Celestial Cosmetics.
Duke is a blue-toned charcoal with great strength linear holographic effect, and filled with lots of colour shifting flakes. This is an intensely sparkly polish and was really hard to get a good photo of because it just wanted to blond me with it's light reflection. The flakes shift colour from blue to green and also have a silver cast to them.
It was nice and smooth to apply with my application being two coats for these images. I used no topcoat for my swatches, but you will want to pop some on for a super smooth finish and to make your manicure last longer of course. This one will make your skin very sparkly on removal so be careful when you remove it and use a good hand & body scrub after which is what I do.
The next polish has been created as a dedication to 'Ana', the beautiful feline companion to the group organiser. I managed to get hold of a pic of Ana so we can see Celestial's inspiration. And wasn't she a beautiful lady!
Ana has a warm, blackened eggplant base and that same strong linear holographic as Duke. Inside this one, we have lots of fiery flakes that shift red-gold-copper. I love, love, love this shade so much!
Application of this one was as good as the last with no issues at all. My swatches are two thin coats and no topcoat has been added. The flakes sit so very flat on the nail, the polish had a smooth, glossy finish without the topcoat.
There we go! What do you think of these? The inspiration behind these and the cause itself just fills my heart with joy. I have pets of my own, and while I have avoided them being ill as yet, I am sure we have all been touched by the horrid cancer in some way in our lives, but when our beloved animals are ill, and we can't help them, it's just heartbreaking.
Want to see my feathered and furry friends? Introducing Franky (a Princess Parrot) and Shadow (a bitsa rescue cat).
Back to the polishes. These polishes will be available for pre-order individually from Celestial Cosmetics Australian and US based stores Monday January 16th at 10am ACDT. US and International customers will have a wait of up to six weeks for their polishes to arrive due to this sale being a pre-order. You can find the charity group HERE if you would like to join, but you do not have to be a member to purchase the polishes. I recommend checking the group out though as you wouldn't want to miss out on all the pretty things in the future.
That's it for today guys, thanks for reading and I hope you have a happy weekend, and if you're currently melting from this heat in Australia, make sure your furry and feathered friends have lots of water available to them.

Unanswered: ADO using Excel
Including a posting here, I've found a few resources about using ADO to link Excel to an external Database. My problem is that everything I've found only gives programming examples, but does not explain the methods, properties, etc. that the code is using. I've been able to figure out most of the examples, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a resource which explains the different ADO connection properties and methods etc. I have been able to get the examples to work in my code, but I there are many questions that remain about what exaclty I am doing, and other options/methods/properties that don't show up in the examples I've read.
Thank you,

Re: ADO using Excel
What version of ado are you using? is it Ado.net?
You can go to barnes and noble and read an Access book, or
VB6 Databases by charles williams from Wrox.
Just read the ADO chapter or in the VB6 book read the 1st 2 0r 3 chapters and you'll be a pro.

MILAN (Reuters) - Italian banking shares rallied on Monday after a deal to wind down two ailing regional lenders allowed Rome to draw a line under its biggest banking headache, with taxpayers rather than the financial industry shouldering the bulk of the losses.
Rome on Sunday approved an emergency decree that leaves the best assets of Banca Popolare di Vicenza and Veneto Banca in the hands of Intesa Sanpaolo (ISP.MI), which is taking them on at the symbolic price of just one euro.
The government will pay 5.2 billion euros (4.57 billion pounds) to Intesa, Italy's top retail bank, to ensure its capital ratios and dividend policy will not be affected by the deal, and give it guarantees of up 12 billion euros to shield it from any unexpected loss.
The total exposure for the state is for up to 17 billion euros, although the Italian treasury estimates the final bill will be much lower than that.
After drawn-out negotiations with Brussels, Italy won permission to liquidate the two banks under national insolvency procedures rather than have European regulators pull the plug on their own, potentially harsher, terms.
The Veneto deal comes after Rome was also allowed to bail out the country's fourth biggest bank, Monte dei Paschi di Siena (BMPS.MI) for up to 6.6 billion euros, removing another systemic threat and helping restore confidence in Italy's fragile financial industry. To do that, however, the government has potentially used up the whole 20 billion euros it had set aside to help ailing banks.
"This is a major step in the direction of a cleaner Italian banking sector. Monte dei Paschi, Veneto and Vicenza were the three main concerns and they are now dealt with - one way or another," fund manager Axiom Alternative Investments said in a note.
Shares in Intesa, which is essentially cherry-picking the two banks' best parts for free and is expected by some analysts to start making money on them in 2018, were up 4.3 percent at 1028 GMT. The Italian bank index .FTIT8300 was up 3.5 percent.
On Monday, Intesa said it would close 600 branches and lay off 3,900 people as a result of the Veneto deal, but those restructuring costs are covered by public money.
The whole banking system breathed a sigh of relief, as a wind-down of the two Veneto banks under EU rules meant to stop state bailouts would have cost other Italian lenders 12.5 billion euros to guarantee deposits below 100,000 euros - spreading losses across an already battered sector.
The Monte dei Paschi and Veneto deals will take some 45 billion euros in bad loans off the banking sector's balance sheet. But even so, the Italian banking industry, Europe's fourth largest, remains saddled with some 300 billion euros of gross soured debts, the legacy of a deep recession and poor lending practices.
Banks are under pressure to sell those debts, but are reluctant to do so as they would have to book further writedowns that could force them to tap the market for cash.

During a tailchase, the aircraft entered an inverted spin at approximately 1,800 ft agl, probably because of unintentional pro-spin positioning of the flying controls. Although the spin ceased after three turns, the aircraft impacted the surface of a lake during the ensuing dive. The investigation identified several factors relevant to the accident, including operation of the aircraft, the type of flight instruments fitted to it and the manner in which the activity was conducted.

text: Feldt re-signs to fight for Cowboys berth Mon 26 May, 2014, 7:45pm Steven Ross, North Queensland Correspondent, NRL.com Tweet Email Print Cowboys winger Kyle Feldt, seen here scoring for Manly, has signed a new North Queensland deal. Credit: Robb Cox/NRL Photos North Queensland have executed a third player re-signing this month, with young winger Kyle Feldt remaining in Cowboys colours for another three years until the end of 2017, despite strong offers from southern clubs.Feldt would not make comment on which clubs were chasing him but the Townsville junior did indicate contract talks were drawn out and the final decision was quite difficult to make."It took me a long time to sort out, so it was a big decision for me and my family," he said."It's always good to stay at home and I think I've played my best footy at home, and I'm in front of my family so that's always good. Because I'm from here was another big part. I didn't want to leave; I always wanted to be a Cowboy."Feldt said the main reason for staying on with North Queensland was the ability and potential of both the playing group and coaching staff."(The influence was) mainly the players that are here and their ability, like Johnno (Thurston), Thumper (Matt Scott). I think I have learned a lot more from the boys such as Tatey (Brent Tate) than I would have elsewhere," he said."I have sat down with Tatey a fair bit throughout the course of this contract signing so he has been a bit part of it and helped me through, weighed up all my options. It's always good to have an older experienced player with me. (He told me) to just knuckle down and not let it all get to you, so hopefully I can do that."Greeny (coach Paul Green) has put us in the right step (as a team). He has the right mindset for us and if we all buy in like we are, I think we're going to go somewhere (this season)."Having not played first grade since a Round 4 loss to the Titans, Feldt was accepting of his relegation to Intrust Super Cup team the Northern Pride, saying he needed to work on minimising errors and keeping his emotions in check."I need to try and knock out all the errors I have in my game. Greeny says I just have to minimise them and I will be back in (first grade), so I just have to concentrate on that when I'm back with the Northern Pride," he said."I just need to concentrate more on the game and not let the nerves get to me."I don't think (nerves) will be (affecting me) any more. Coming back from injury wasn't ideal as well. I think I've learned from it all so hopefully I can get another shot and I'll take it."It definitely gives me more security knowing I am going to be here for another three years, so hopefully I can knuckle down now and get stuck into the team and make me want to try and cement a spot in there now."Traditionally contract extensions can go one of two ways for a player – complacency, knowing he has a secured spot, or determination to repay the club's faith – but Green says it will give Feldt a shot in the arm and light the fire for a player targeted earlier this season for his nerves in defence and under the high ball."Hopefully now that he certainly sees himself as a long-term future here at the club, so it's about knuckling down and keep improving each game and I'm sure it won't be too long until he's back in the team," Green said.

Restaurant owners and managers: sometimes the best lessons from celebrity chefs don't happen in the kitchen.
The latest comes from MasterChef Graham Elliot, who recently settled a tip pooling lawsuit with Gregory Curtis and other waiters in Elliot's Chicago restaurant for an undisclosed amount. The waiters claimed they were forced to share tips with non-waiters, and sued Elliot for lost wages. Staci Ketay Rotman (law firm Franczek Radelet) explains:
"Under federal law, employees may be required to participate in a tip pool only if the tips are distributed among employees who 'customarily and regularly receive tips,' and this generally is limited to personnel such as servers, bussers and service bartenders."
Here's a tip: heed these three recommendations to avoid your own legal troubles:
1. Keep your hands out of the tip jar:
"The FLSA defines an employer as 'any person acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer in relation to an employee.' Though a low-level supervisor is not an "employer' under the FLSA, an employee with substantial managerial authority over the day-to-day operations of a business is the functional equivalent of the employer. If a manager functions as the employer in this regard, any tip sharing with that individual violates the FLSA." (Duane Morris)
2. Don't take a cut off the top, either:
"The latest news in celebrity chef wage and hour litigation is that eight New York restaurants owned by Mario Batali have agreed to settle $5.25 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging that they illegally withheld tips from hourly service workers… The primary claim in the lawsuit was that management at the eight restaurants deducted 4 to 5 percent of each shift's wine and other beverage sales from the restaurants' tip pools." (Franczek Radelet)
3. Make sure you give proper notice to employees when taking a "tip credit:"
"Under [the FLSA's tip credit] provisions, an employer is allowed to pay tipped employees a cash wage of $2.13 and offset the remaining amount of the minimum wage by taking a 'tip credit.' … However, an employer may only take the tip credit if (1) the employee has been informed by the employer of the provisions of the FLSA's tip credit subsection, and (2) the employee retains all tips received (except amounts paid into a valid 'tip pool' to be shared among employees that regularly receive tips)."

Now Playing
U Make Me Wanna Usher
We round up the biggest tracks you should have on repeat in August, featuring Nicki Minaj, Disclosure, Gorgon City, The Weeknd and more.
August has got a few particular artists names written all over it - Nicki Minaj can be heard doing things on a ton of new songs from her 'No Flex Zone (Remix)' to a new collaboration with Usher.
Talking of Usher, you need to her Disclosure's huge 'Good Kisser' remix, plus there a big tunes from Gorgon City, Sigma and Secondcity who are keeping the summer vibes alive.
(Warning: some of these songs may contain strong language that some people may find offensive.)
This follow-up to Gorgon City's MNEK collaboration 'Ready For Your Love' and Laura Welsh assisted-song 'Here For You' gives the British producers a hat-trick in making summer bangers.
Nicki Minaj is unstoppable at the moment, dropping track after track without time to take a breathe. The latest song to get the Minaj treatment is August Alsina's 'No Love' remix - it hears Nicki start things off by saying "I swear this is my favourite song."
Following the release of 'Often' Abel continues to use his smooth vocals to sing about a girl he's got his eye on. "And she gon give it up cause she know I might like it/ Baby girl you know I like, baby you know just what I like" he raps on the five-minute cut.
Remember how much you loved Mike Posner's 2010 hit single 'Cooler Than Me?', White Panda have taken the track and mashed it up with Disclosure and Sam Smith's 'Settle' single 'Latch' to make an all-encompassing, effortlessly cool new track. Even better, it's a free download.
Following the success of his number one single 'I Wanna Feel,' British DJ/ Producer Secondcity has unveiled new track 'What Can I Do' with vocals from Hot Natured's Ali Love. Coco Cole gave the song its first Capital XTRA play on the Clubbers Guide at the end of July, and we're sure there will be many more.
Debuted at his TS5 party from the Capital XTRA rooftop last month, Craig David's new song 'Cold' hears hears him about a girl that is "so cold" and other lyrics include: "Before you know it you're naked or standing out in the rain."
Jhené' Aiko's begun dropping tracks in the lead up to the release of her debut album 'Souled Out,' with the latest being titled 'The Pressure.' The new track hears Jhené vent about the mounting pressure building up in a relationship.
The end of July saw Kojo and Jade drop the world exclusive first play of Fuse ODG's new track 'T.I.N.A', featuring vocals from Britan's very own Angel. The track's already had a huge response.
Kygo has dropped a free remix of The Weeknd's new sultry song 'Often'. The track hears Kygo stamp his usual tropical sounds on the song, bringing the tempo up a notch or two.
The Beyoncé and Jay Z of dance have hooked up to make some music together. Laidback Luke and wife Gina Turner have unveiled the full version of their new collaboration called 'Bae.'
The 'Settle' favourites have just made one of this year's coolest R&B jams a massive house tune.
Breezy, Rozay and Usher all on one track? You know you're going to be playing it over and over.
She's not just jumping on remixes this month, Nicki's also lent her vocals to CAm'ron's catch new one. Hit play above and hear Nicki explain; "You ain't getting me back, you delusional."
'Changing' is the follow-up to the production duo's chart hit 'Nobody To Love', which samples Kanye West's 'Bound 2' and continues to be a huge song in ibiza this summer.
Jessie Ware's vocals sound even better on this smooth Cyril Hahn remix that's been getting spun on Capital XTRA.
Shift K3y's 'Touch' must be the bounciest song to come out of summer 2014 so far, do you think this one tops it?
It's the track we guarantee you'll be hearing at festivals to come in August.
Throttle has transformed Sam Smith's chart-topper into song into a funky house anthem, complete with a guitar part that Chic's Nile Rodgers would be proud of.
"I wanted to make a massive song that would literally make people want to teat the roof off" 23-year-old Alesso said of his new track. The dance-floor filler was originally premiered during the Swedish DJ's Ultra Music Festival set, but now the full thing is available.
Drake has jumped on PARTYNEXTDOOR's new track, titled 'Recognize,' providing a rap in one of the verses. The track hears Drizzy sing about sing about a sex tape he made with a woman, as he says; "you're a freak and your cover is blown."
There's no holding back from Nicki Minaj on her remix to Rae Sremmurd's track 'No Flex Zone.' The 'Pills N Potions' singer boasts about her status in the music game, rapping; "Running this game for five years, guess that's why my feet hurt/ Wonder when they bite me, do these b*****s teeth hurt."
