This invention relates generally to software integration, and more particularly, to network-based software integration.
Power management control systems (PMCSs), such as those developed and sold by the General Electric Co., monitor and control a variety of intelligent electronic devices connected to an electrical distribution system, such as power meters, circuit breakers and others. A PMCS includes a computer connected to a common bus that allows the intelligent monitoring or control devices to communicate with a server. The PMCS provides graphical representations of and links to the devices of the distribution system to enable a user to monitor and operate the distribution system.
After a customer orders a PMCS, an integrator assembles the relevant customer information, builds the application, prepares the customer PC and loads the relevant software. The integrator is also present at startup to configure the devices and the network, and to make sure the application works according to specification.
Currently, the integration of a power management control system is largely done manually, which requires a large amount of attention, expense and time. When the integrator or other technical representative is not present at the customer site, information may have to be exchanged via facsimile or telephone, which slows down the integration process. A large amount of process time results in backlogs in integration jobs, high costs of integration, and large cycle times.
The invention overcoming these and other problems in the art relates to a system and method of integrating a software application over a network. The invention may include a step of receiving an order for a software system from a user at a server over the network. The invention may further include installing the software system on a user system over the network, testing that software system via the network for robustness, and starting up operation of the software system over the network.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent through the detailed description of the preferred embodiments and the drawings attached hereto. It is also to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and not restrictive of the scope of the invention.
The invention will be described with respect to the accompanying drawings, in which like elements are referenced with like numbers.
In terms of the general environment and resources in or with which the invention may operate, a computer system may include a bus, or other communication mechanism for communicating information, and a processor coupled to a bus for processing information. The computer system also includes main memory such as random access memory (RAM) or other dynamic storage device, coupled to the bus for storing information and instructions to be executed by the processor. Main memory also may be used for storing temporary variables or other intermediate information during execution of instructions to be executed by the processor. The computer system further includes read only memory (ROM) or other static storage device coupled to the bus for storing static information and instructions for the processor. A storage device such as a magnetic disk or optical disk may be provided and coupled to the bus for storing information and instructions.
The computer system may be coupled via a bus to a display, such as a cathode ray tube (CRT), liquid crystal display (LCD) or other device, for displaying information to a computer user. An input device, including alphanumeric and other keys, is coupled to the bus for communicating information and command selections to the processor. Another type of input device is cursor control, such as a mouse, a trackball, or cursor direction keys for communicating directional information and command selections to the processor and for controlling cursor movement on the display. This input device typically has two degrees of freedom in two axes, a first axis (e.g., x) and a second axis (e.g., y), that allows the device to specify positions in a plane.
The invention is related in one regard to the use of the computer system for integrating a power management control system (PMCS), using computer, network and other resources. According to one embodiment of the invention, the integration of the PMCS is provided via the computer system in response to the processor executing one or more sequences of one or more instructions contained in main memory.
Such instructions may be read into main memory from another computer-readable medium, such as the storage device. Execution of the sequences of instructions contained in main memory causes the processor to perform the process steps described herein. One or more processors in a multi-processing arrangement may also be employed to execute the sequences of instructions contained in main memory. In alternative embodiments, hard wired circuitry may be used in place of or in combination with software instructions to implement the invention. Thus, embodiments of the invention are not limited to specific combination of hardware circuitry and software.
The term "computer-readable medium" as used herein refers to any medium that participates in providing instructions to the processor for execution. Such a medium may take many forms, including but not limited to non-volatile media, volatile media, and transmission media. Non-volatile media include dynamic memory, such as main memory. Transmission media include coaxial cables, copper wire and fiber optics, including the wires that comprise the bus. Transmission media can also take the form of acoustic or light waves, such as those generated during radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) data communications. Common forms of computer-readable media include, for example, a floppy disk, a flexible disk, hard disk, magnetic tape, any other magnetic medium, a CD-ROM, DVD, any other optical medium, punch cards, paper tape, any other physical medium with patterns of holes, a RAM, a PROM, an EPROM, a FLASH-EPROM, any other memory chip or cartridge, a carrier wave as described hereinafter, or any other medium from which a computer can read.
Various forms of computer readable media may be involved in carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions to the processor for execution. For example, the instructions may initially be borne on a magnetic disk of a remote computer. The remote computer can load the instructions into its dynamic memory and send the instructions over a telephone line using a modem. A modem local to the computer system can receive the data on the telephone line and use an infrared transmitter to convert the data to an infrared signal. An infrared detector coupled to the bus can receive the data carried in the infrared signal and place the data on the bus. The bus carries the data to the main memory, from which the processor retrieves and executes the instructions. The instructions received by main memory may optionally be stored on a storage device as described herein, either before or after execution by the processor.
The computer system also includes a communication interface coupled to the bus. The communication interface provides a two-way data communication coupling to a network link that is connected to a local or other network. For example, the communication interface may be an integrated service digital network (ISDN) card or a modem to provide a data communication connection to a corresponding type of telephone line. As another example, the communication interface may be a local area network (LAN) card to provide a data communication connection to a compatible LAN. Wireless links also may be implemented. In any such implementation the, communication interface sends and receives electrical, electromagnetic or optical signals that carry digital data streams representing various types of information.
The network link typically provides data communication through one or more networks to other data devices. For example, the network link may provide a connection through local network to a host computer, server or to other data equipment operated by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or other entity. The ISP in turn provides data communication services through the world wide packet data communication network, now commonly referred to as the "Internet". The local network and the Internet both use electrical, electromagnetic or optical signals that carry digital data streams. The signals through the various networks and the signals on the network link and through the communication interface, which carry the digital data to and from the computer system, are exemplary forms of carrier waves transporting the information.
The computer system can send messages and receive data, including program code, through the network(s), network link, and the communication interface. In the Internet example, a server might transmit a requested code for an application program through the Internet, ISP, local network and communication interface. In accordance with the invention, one such downloaded application provides for operating and maintaining the integration system described herein. The received code may be executed by the processor as it is received, and/or stored in storage device, or other non-volatile storage for later execution. In this manner, the computer system may obtain application code via a carrier wave or other communications.
Generally, and in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, links to power management control system (PMCS) devices and PMCS software are accessible from a network (e.g., the Internet) by a user for the purpose of ordering and integrating a PMCS. Those intelligent electronic or other devices may include, for instance, a power regulator, a waveform analyzer, a meter, a transformer, a relay, a starter, an input/output unit, and a circuit breaker and associated electronics and software. A PMCS and related intelligent electronic devices are described in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,862,391, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. A method and system for configuring, viewing and ordering a PMCS are described in commonly assigned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/593,959, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
When a user, purchaser or other interested party, wants to order a PMCS, the user may enter the network at the visitor access home page. In order to access this home or root page, which may be serviced or supported by a server or other platform in the network, the user may use a computer loaded with a network browser (e.g., Web browser such as Internet Explorer manufactured by Microsoft Corp.) and connectivity to the network (e.g., Internet via an Internet Service Provider (ISP)). The server in one regard may be or include, for instance, a workstation running the Microsoft Windows™ NT™, Windows™ 2000, Unix, Linux, Xenix, IBM AIX™, Hewlett-Packard UX™, Novell Netware™, Sun Microsystems Solaris™, OS/2™, BeOS™, Mach, Apache, OpenStep™ or other operating system or platform.
Although only four clients 133, 134, 143, 144 are shown, in actual practice, there may be fewer or significantly more users connected to the software integration system 100 than shown. This would mean that there would be additional users which are connected through the same ISPs shown or through other ISPs. However, for purposes of illustration, the discussion will assume four clients 133, 134, 143, 144 connected to Internet 101 through three ISPs 131, 141, 142.

In one embodiment, some of the clients 133, 134, 143, 144 may include suppliers in a distribution system, as discussed below. The software development site 110 may function to permit clients 133, 134, 143, 144 to interact with each other through links created by the software development site 110.
Software development site 110 may comprise either a single server computer or multiple server configured to appear to clients 133, 134, 143, 144 as a single resource. The software development site 110 may receive requests from clients 133, 134, 143, 144 through Internet 101 for customized software. The integrator 111 of software development site 110 may receive information from clients 133, 134, 143, 144, direct customization of a software application, prepare the customer computer system, download the relevant software through Internet 101, start up the computer system by configuring the devices in the network, and ensure the software application works according to specification through simulation or other testing.
Database 120 may be located within the software development site 110 or coupled to software development site 110. Database 120 may store various software, interface templates for receiving customer information, screen design templates or any other information that is used in the development and integration of software systems.
The integrator module 211 receives requests for software systems including customer information through a connection through the Internet 101. The integrator 211 directs the requests and customer information to software development module 215 and database 220. The integrator module also integrates the processes performed at software development module 215, screen design module 217 and supplier link module 214, and downloads the customized software to a user computer system 133, 134, 143, 144. The integrator 211 prepares the user computer system 133, 134, 143, 144 to receive the customized software, configures the devices and the network of the user computer system 133, 134, 143, 144 and ensures that the developed software system works according to specification.
Software applications for the software system requested are developed at the software development module 215 based on the customer information provided by users 133, 134, 143, 144 via the Internet 101. The development process may be carried out through transmission of design information to the user over the Internet 101, as described below with reference to
The software applications developed at software development module 215 may be tested at testing module 216 to ensure that they ready to be installed and they meet the required specifications. The screen design for the software system requested may be customized at screen design module 217, and supplier links may be created at supplier link module 214. Database 220 may store customer information, software, screen design templates, supplier link information, etc.
Serving software module 212 is used to communicate through Internet 101. Support module 213 performs support processes after installation of the software applications through the Internet 101. Processor 218 executes instructions for performing the various functions described with respect to modules 211–217.
At processing block 301, the software development system receives an order from a user 133, 134, 143, 144 over a network, such as, for example, the Internet 101. A user 133, 134, 143, 144 may enter information regarding the user, the user's industry, and particular needs in software into an input form provided by the software development site 110. The user may enter this information on a homepage or root page at a website for the software development site 110.
The user or customer information may be received by integrator 211 and directed to the appropriate modules. The software requested by the user will then be installed at processing block 302 via the Internet 101. At processing block 303, the start-up operation will be performed over the Internet 101 to configure devices and the client computer system 133, 134, 143, 144, and to ensure that the application installed works according to specification.
At processing block 304, the integrator 211 receives indication that the customer has signed off, ending the integration process. By signing off from the software development site 110, the client 133, 134, 143, 144 acknowledges that the software has been installed, configured and tested, thus ending the integration process.
At processing block 401, the integrator module 211 receives an order from a user 133, 134, 143, 144 over a network such as, for example, the Internet 101. The order received may be for a software system that needs to be customized or developed specifically for the user, or a software system already in existence. At processing block 402, if the software system needs to be configured or developed specifically for the user, the order is transmitted to a development area 215. At processing block 403, the software applications necessary for the software system are developed in the development module 215.
If in the operation of the invention, power management control system (PMCS) software is requested, PMCS applications and human machine interface ("HMI") software applications may be developed at development module 215. The development of the software will be described in more detail below, with reference to
At processing block 404, software applications developed at development area 215 are received by the integrator module 211. At processing block 405, the integrator module 211 configures the user system 133, 134, 143, 144 over the network. At processing block 406, the software applications developed by development area 215 may be downloaded to the user system 133, 134, 143, 144.
After the applications have been installed, the integrator performs a startup operation at processing blocks 407 and 408. At processing block 407, the integrator 211 may configure the user devices and the user's computer system over the network. At processing block 408, the installed software and configurations may be tested over the network to ensure functionality and conformance to specifications.
At processing block 409, the integrator 211 receives indication that the user has signed off, ending the integration process. As described above with reference to processing block 304, the user 133, 134, 143, 144 sign off acknowledges that the software has been installed, configured and tested, thus ending the integration process.
User information is received at processing block 501 by the software development module. The user information may be directed to the software development module 215 by the integrator 211. User information may be information that is submitted by a user on a user system 133, 134, 143, 144 via the Internet 101 and include information regarding type of software system desired, specifications, information specific to the user, etc.
At processing block 502, software development module 215 prepares or revises a project design based on the user information. The project design will be used by the software development 215 to develop software meeting user specifications. At processing block 503, the project design prepared at processing block 502 is transmitted to the user 133, 134, 143, 144 over a network such as, for example, the Internet 101. By transmitting the project design over the Internet instead of faxing or communicating with a user over the telephone, processing time for developing a final project design is greatly reduced, and cycle time is reduced and productivity is increased for the software integration because all relevant information will be constantly and readily available via the Internet by all participants in the software configuration, installation and verification process.
At processing block 504, software development module 215 receives user feedback over the network 101. The user feedback may include approval for a project design or changes required or requested by the user. At processing block 505, the system development module determines whether changes are required by the user feedback. If change is required by the user feedback, the software development module 215 returns to processing block 502 to revise the project design.
If changes are not required at processing block 505, the software development module 215 will proceed to develop the software described in the project design at processing block 506. For a power management control system, the software developed may include PMCS applications and HMI applications. At processing block 507, the applications developed at processing block 506 may be tested by testing module 216, whose execution may be repeated to isolate and eliminate bugs, bottlenecks or otherwise tune installation performance.
At processing block 601, software applications are developed as described above with reference to
At processing blocks 603, screen design is customized for the software system requested by the user 133, 134, 143, 144. Customization of the screen design will be described in more detail with reference to
At processing block 604, the developed software application, the supplier links and the customized screen design are integrated into an integrated application. The integrated application may then be transferred to the user's computer system 133, 134, 143, 144 from the software development site 110.
At processing block 701, a new HMI project is created at screen design module 217. The new HMI project created may be a new Cimplicity™ project. At processing block 702, a configuration application is started up by the screen design module 217 over the Internet 101. At processing block 703, devices are added using the configuration application. At processing block 704, trend points are added to the historical database. At processing block 705, one-line diagram screens are created.
At processing block 706, trend and tabular screens are created for each device. At processing block 707, passwords are set for each user. At processing block 708, the screen design may be tested using a DDE simulator to ensure functionality.
At processing block 801, a user's computer system 133, 134, 143, 144 is configured over a network, for example, the Internet 101. At processing block 802, HMI software is installed and software applications are developed for the software system requested by the user. The software developed at processing block 802 may include PMCS software. At processing block 803, an integrated application, for example, the integrated application described with reference to
An integration system has been described which replaces faxes and phone calls for communication between integrators 211 and other relevant people such as, for example, sales engineers and engineering services. By routing communication between integrators 211 and others through a network such as, for example, the Internet 101, cycle time is dramatically reduced and productivity is increased because all relevant information is constantly and readily available via the Internet. By creating web-based application wizards such as, for example, a configuration application, some of the manual work performed by integrators is eliminated. For example, all relevant project information does not need to be compiled by an integrator and entered into a project spreadsheet to aid in development. By using Internet 101 applications, all relevant information is instead automatically available to the integrator 211.
Thus, the integration process takes full advantage of available Internet technology, enabling improved customer satisfaction. Also, by creating an Internet-based integration process, 24-hour project execution is provided. Thus, a user is not limited to ordering software systems and having software systems integrated during "business hours", and global resources may be leveraged by the software development site 110. For example, integrators 211 may be based at various global locations such as India or Mexico. The Internet-based integration process also reduces integration costs and cycle time, by enabling web-based communication instead of communication through facsimile or telephone.
By enabling web-based integration process, support may also be provided for the software integrated over the Internet by support module 213. By using a web-based process, software integrators and software support personnel may be based in various geographic locations, and each software integrator or support staff member may troubleshoot various and multiple sites.
While the foregoing description includes details and specificities, it is to be understood that these have been included for purposes of explanation only, and are not to be interpreted as limitations of the present invention. Modifications to the embodiments described above can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as is intended to be encompassed by the following claims and their legal equivalents.

New Zealand opera star Kiri Te Kanawa led glittering tributes Tuesday for Australia's "La Stupenda" Joan Sutherland, the "supreme" soprano who passed away at her Swiss home aged 83.
Te Kanawa said Sutherland, who dazzled European audiences from the 1950s until retiring in 1990, had a unique talent and inspired a generation of younger performers.
"She's totally unique and you will never ever hear another voice like that," Te Kanawa told Australian public broadcaster ABC. "I certainly haven't heard one like that in the last 40 years.
"It was elite, it was supreme, no one could ever reach that. We've all tried but I think with a lot of us it failed. Just listening to the articulation, the... athletics of the throat, she was just amazing."
Te Kanawa called Sutherland a "Pied Piper" leading other singers to success and said her own talent paled in comparison to Sydney-born Sutherland, who won over Italian critics and performed alongside a young Luciano Pavarroti.
"When you're young and stupid you actually feel you're almost equal," she said. "As time went on, the more I felt that I didn't deserve a place beside her at all."
Former Sydney Opera House chief Norman Gillespie called Sutherland "one of the great operatic icons of the 20th century".
"Extraordinary range, dazzling range, extraordinary accuracy, extraordinary power. There really only was one voice like that, it was the great voice of the century," he said.
Meanwhile Opera Australia artistic director Lyndon Terracini described Sutherland as "tremendously down to earth and tremendously joyous to be with".
"When she came into the rehearsal room the whole place would light up and I think in performances I think that joy communicated from the stage to an audience," Terracini said.
"I think she transcended not only the operatic form but was a great communicator to the wider public. I think it would be fair to say she was Bradmanesque," he added, referring to Australian cricket legend Donald Bradman.
Milan's La Scala opera house, where Sutherland performed between 1961 and 1966, hailed her as the "queen of bel canto", a vocal style used in opera in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
"This is how La Scala remembers Joan Sutherland: not just a master virtuoso, but an obligatory example for all those who have sung Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti after her," a statement said.
"Her voice... and her ability to interpret gave Italian bel canto the impulse of a re-discovery of forgotten or underestimated titles and above all the force of a new stylistic consciousness," it added.

Shake Shack announced yet another delicious creation, and this time it's brought to you by NBC's most famous weatherman.
Al Roker and TODAY worked with the chain to debut the Roker burger, a Southern barbecue-style, all-beef burger topped with pulled pork, American cheese, red-eye mayo and pickles.
The BBQ burger will do a little more than fill stomachs. Shake Shack will donate $1 from each Roker Burger purchased to No Kid Hungry, an organization working to end childhood hunger in America.
"Creating a burger with folks at Shake Shack is exciting," Roker said in a news release. "Creating a burger that helps childhood hunger is inspiring."
The Roker Burger is available through Friday for $7.49 at all New York locations except Citi Field and Kennedy Airport.

Recycle hell rotting the game we love
RECESSIONS come with few benefits attached but one upside is a proper re-adjustment of priorities.
It had all gone oppressively touchy-feely, starting with that over-priced, over-indulged organic nonsense that took root about a decade ago. Nothing against vegetarians, lesbians or people who view showering as a capitalist imposition, but it seemed as though you could not launch into a chicken burger in those years without being lectured on its background.
Nowadays, thankfully, the fact that your chicken had an abusive mother and grew up alone in the dark is less relevant than the ability to eat him with a large chips and Coke for less than a fiver.
There has also been a fall-off in the number of environment Nazis who used to goose-step the corridors of our rented accommodation. Switch on a light bulb in those bastions of the Fourth Reich and five minutes later you were still reduced to the type of illumination usually (and allegedly) accompanied by disposable hand towels and girls called Magda.
These fascist co-tenants would tut disapprovingly when you put your packet of Rancheros into the wrong bin or demand to know why your empty bottle of Linden Village had not been washed out, adding that "by the way, that should go in with the plastics". We could think of better places for it to go.
Now, however, the Nazis have been evicted, light bathes us with surgery-like intensity and the only recycling that concerns us is the type that threatens to dismantle the game of rugby union.
Watching the Super 14 this season has required frequent use of the fast-forward button (God bless Sky-plus) and numerous cans of Red Bull to keep eyelids from drooping.
With the new tackle interpretations, ruck turnovers have become a relic of the past in the Super 14, the best a defending side can hope for is that the tackled player lacks support and is forced to concede the penalty for holding on.
Teams rarely commit more than three players to the breakdown -- the tackler by necessity and one or two others attempting to move in on the ball -- hampered by the fact that the referee is poised to penalise the slightest hint of over-enthusiasm. "Tackle assist, must release," was one explanation recently offered for penalising a player who had not made the primary hit but was deemed to be too involved in it to legally contest afterwards.
It means 12 to 13 players filling the pitch to resist the next offensive wave, so the attacking team, confident that the ball will come back, goes again, and again, until they get a score or make a mistake.
Diluting the breakdown contest has reduced the level of kick-tennis that has plagued the game in recent seasons, the ball-in-play time has increased and there are plenty of off-loading and handling skills to admire -- but how monotonous it has all become.
Forward passes, crooked throws and feeds are treated leniently in the interests of continuity and scrums, once the rock rugby union was built upon, are blown up if they threaten to kill the momentum. Thus, the ball is passed back and forth until something gives and rarely do we see the set-play backline moves (remember 'DDP' and 'Rangy' ball?) that used to decorate rugby in the past.
Yes, there are tries, plenty of them, but if you are allowed to recycle the ball at will, good teams will eventually find gaps and numerical mismatches and then, to use the Super 14 vernacular, it's "try time!".
Six years of school-imposed Shakespeare produced only one passage that sticks in the memory: "If all the year were playing holiday, to sport would be as tedious as to work. But, when it seldom comes it wished for comes and nothing pleaseth like rare accident."
Our edition of 'Shakespeare For Dummies' informs us that the Bard is suggesting that too much of a good thing can become tedious and, for rugby union, the only salvation now appears to be the maul.
In a recent Super 14 game, the Queensland Reds scored four tries against the Sharks but were undone by the South Africans' use of the maul which the Aussies (quelle suprise) could not handle.
The maul is part of what rugby union once was. The 'you have a go then we'll have a go' recycling dross of the Super 14 is dragging the game to a recessionary place we really do not want to go.
It's called rugby league.

Okwara was arrested on Monday, November 28, 2016 by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for defrauding one man identified as Ekweaba Oyemechi by posing as his girlfriend.
As gathered by the EFCC,okwara told Oyemechi that he was his USA-based girlfriend that has no money to obtain ticket her return,he collected the sum of $8, 674 from Oyemechi.
The suspect was arrested on three-count charges,but pleaded not guilty of the charges preferred against him.
Okwara's defence counsel, Barr. Emma Onyibor urge the magistrate to grant his client a bail, adding that his client had been on administrative bail granted him by the EFCC, and had not defaulted but reported regularly to the EFCC whenever he was needed.
Barr. Habila Jonathan,the prosecuting counsel told coury that he was served the motion for bail shortly before court proceeding and needed time to study and respond.
The court upheld the argument of the EFCC counsel as the Judge was also yet to study the bail application which the defence also served the court shortly before proceedings.
Justice Gafai adjourned the case till December 6, 2016, for hearing and consideration of bail after he had ordered that the accused be remanded in prison custody.

When my brother got engaged, I wanted to throw the wedding shower for his bride to be. I had never thrown a shower before, so it was fun to plan. I went with a classic theme – Around the Clock. My sister helped make invitations that were a bride and her bouquet had clock hands on it indicating what time each guest was to bring a gift for. The rest of the shower was based on this theme. The cake and cupcakes I made were decorated with their wedding date (9:04) in time format. Then the food was based around different times of the day – we had two breakfast dishes (8 am), two lunch dishes (noon), two dinner dishes (5 pm) and two dessert dishes. The menu cards were designed with clocks in the background, and they were printed and placed in frames. Also, there is a picture of my gift to her – a towel cake full of bath items for her time to relax at 8 pm.
|The cake – and I just realized I took the picture upside down!
|Monogram and time cupcakes
|Breakfast dishes – mini quiche florentine and stuffed french toast

What exercises should I do to return to my workouts? I have a stationary bicycle, weight machine, elliptical trainer, cross-country ski machine, stair climber and various free weights.
Answer one: Ankles tend to be chronic swellers, so be sure to continue with the ice until all the swelling is gone. I recommend you spend some time on the exercise bike to restore range of motion; the ski machine will serve the same purpose. Just be sure your activity is limited to getting range of motion back -- don't go all out yet.If the weight machine has ankle attachments, that can help you strengthen. Check to see if you can stand briefly on your toes without pain before getting too aggressive.
Once you have normal range of motion and minimal pain (below a five on a scale of one to 10), begin running at half speed in straight lines. Don't cut or run circles for four or five weeks, and keep icing that ankle!
Answer two: First try exercises without your body weight on the foot, gradually progressing to full weight on both feet, and then to your body weight on only the injured foot. Begin by drawing the alphabet with your foot on the floor while sitting.
Next try balancing on both feet, then just the injured foot with eyes closed. Try heel raises next, again on both feet, until you can do them on the injured foot alone without holding on. Pool therapy with a kick board will help restore mobility. Progress to deep water running, and then to speedwalking. Progress gradually to jogging, then running, outside.
Remember the four parts to any safe and successful workout regimen: warm-up, stretching, the activity, and stretching/cool down.
Answer three: Once pain and swelling are reversed, runners often short change the rehab process involved with ankle sprains. Range of motion and strength of the ligaments around the ankle, which have been stretched or partially torn, is essential or another sprain may well occur. In addition, improving your positional awareness (proprioception) will help prevent future injury.
Rubber tubing can help strengthen the outside (lateral) ligaments by placing the tubing around your forefoot, anchoring it to the leg of a sturdy table, and turning your foot so the resistance is on the outside of the ankle. Hold this position for a count of five for a set of ten repetitions, and repeat this exercise two or three times a day.
Often ankle sprains compromise the ability to pull up your foot (dorsiflexion). Try wrapping a towel around your forefoot and pulling up on the foot. This isn't a strengthening exercise, but a stretch, therefore perform this two or three times, holding for a count of 15 to 30.
To stretch your calf, stand with your forefoot on the edge of a step and slowly allow your heel to drop down. Again hold for a count of 15 to 30, and repeat several times.
Balancing drills will improve your proprioception. Walking on your tiptoes and then on your heels will help. Try these eventually with eyes closed. Next, attempt one-legged hopping. You can return to running once you're pain-free, have full range of motion, and normal strength and balance in your ankle. Start gradually, increasing your distance and speed over time.

The Ed Plummer Family has left Utah
It's a quarter to eight in the morning and I have been missing them since they left at four-thirty this morning. We said our good-byes last night but I found myself awake at four-fifteen and padding downstairs to get a last look at them and wave good-bye from my lit-up porch. We never played "Golf" and we never ate at Hires (it turns out Ed doesn't like Hires any better than Sam--this doesn't mean I'm giving it up as a family meeting place). I loved seeing all the cousins interact, the brothers together, and obsessing over our looming deaths with Ed. I would feel so alone without my fellow hypochondriac. Thank you, God, for the Cyberknife. I'm a believer!

Gallery in a custom field
What I would like to do is remove from the author the positioning of the gallery. At the moment I am using Wundergallery shortcodes so have a number of parameters I don't want to trust to the client.
So what I want to do is enable a custom field where all the up-to-date functionality of the WordPress gallery and media management is available but once the gallery was created, I say "thank you" swoop down, take it out of the hands of the author, use PHP to add my parameters and template positioning.
The easiest course at the moment is to write a recipe (basically; go into html view, paste this code, merge it with the gallery you created and put it in the right place in the content). As I see it this is a recipe for client disaster on the principle of if it can go wrong it will go wrong.
I am enjoying custom fields, especially the plug in Advance Custom Fields as it give me much more style control but lets the client do the grunt work.
Your thoughts?

As both a Children s pastor and father I have learned that all children possess the great ability to imitate those around them. They ll imitate the things they see and hear, and even imitate the things you think they haven t seen or heard. A month or so ago, my wife posted these pictures on her blog and I wanted to revisit them.
To set the scene, the boys and I were outside in the backyard playing a game of twirl. It s a simple game really. I grab them by their hands or ankles and twirl them until I get sick. They ask to do it again and again and again.
However, my daughter will have none of that action. She keeps a safe distance from me, and tells me over and over, I do NOT want to do that Daddy! I m a good Dad, so I let her be and eventually stumble into the house trying to figure out who is more wore out, me or the boys.
When I get inside, I find Lauryn doing this:
The great power of imitation at work.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he Gave
When I give I am simply imitating the one that gave that great and wonderful gift. My gifts of service, money, or time don t in any way compare to the great gift of God s only son, Jesus; but they should be a reflection of His heart when He gave. God gave to us because he loved us. In our desire to imitate our father in heaven, we give because we love those around us, we give because we love God, and we give because he first loved us. Giving in it s very essence is much like my daughter spinning the bear in the living room. The bear is much different that what I was doing, but in essence it is the very same thing. What a great thought that my Heavenly Father set such a great example of giving for me. As my daughter unashamedly twirls the bear in the living room, I pray and hope that I can be as great a mirror of what God has done for me.
{This is a little adaptation of something I did at Trinity Church on Sunday, April 19th.}

"For all we hear about an escalation in mental health problems in adolescence, there is no persuasive evidence that the internet is to blame. My colleagues and I recently conducted a systematic review of the evidence and found only a weak correlation between teenagersu2019 use of social media and depression.
After its launch in 2004, the social networking website Facebook rapidly expanded to global coverage. Since the advent of smartphones, instant messaging sites such as WhatsApp have become the most popular means of communication for younger people, who spend much of their lives fixated on digital devices, oblivious to everything around them. Some experts believe that this immersion in cyberspace has negative psychological and social effects, and news reports and opinion pieces in newspapers often portray the internet as a danger to the young.
We examined research measuring social media use and depression in young people up to 18 years of age. Eleven studies, with a total of 12,646 participants, were included. Overall, we found a small but statistically significant relationship between online social interaction and depressed mood.
A weakness of the reviewed studies was reliance on the participantsu2019 self-reporting of internet use. Although symptoms were measured by validated psychological questio
aires, depression was not formally diagnosed in any of the studies. More fundamentally, the studies could not determine whether the mood problem was cause or effect. Data from some studies indicated that psychologically vulnerable young people are more likely to turn to the internet for social support. So depression may be a contributory factor rather than a consequence of social media use.
Constant co
ection , superficial exchange and a perpetual quest for u2018likesu2019 do not nurture deep thinking, creativity and empathy ( Shutterstock )
The results of our review neither negate the concerns of sociologists, psychologists and neuroscientists on the impact of the internet on social and cognitive development, nor do we disregard problematic use. Previous research has found that young people who display impulsive and addictive behaviour are more likely to share sexual images of themselves and are at greater risk of being bullied online.

In early November, HIRE brought over 50 people to a Minnesota Jobs Skills Partnership meeting to provide testimony to DEED Commissioner, Katie Clark Sieben, on the importance of receiving this money. Due to our advocacy and organizing around this meeting and our follow up afterwards, DEED (Department of Employment & Economic Development) and DHS (Department of Human Services) have committed to creating a plan and a timeline to make sure that Minnesota accesses these funds.

The media killed its own credibility when it went from inserting bias into legitimate coverage to turning its bias into the coverage.
And by "Journalism", Dan Rather means lying.
Rather said good reporting was in decline, and with the "new Internet," "traditional journalism" remains "so susceptible to manipulation, deception, and distraction that it allows lies to get started and then spread like mildew in a damp basement."
Rather and Schultz were criticizing conservative new media outlets like Breitbart News for writing stories about President Barack Obama's nominee for Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel's refusal to disclose financial documents in his confirmation hearings.
Rather sorrowfully recounted his glory days, when the American mainstream media "was the gold standard for the world." If a reporter received false information from a source, he claimed, "he found it out because he wore out shoe leather, he made telephone calls, his organization had other reporters who would check it out, and they've exposed the lie."
The last time Dan Rather wore out his shoe leather, he was chasing after Richard Nixon. The American media has not been the gold standard for the world since the country was on the gold standard. It was just big. Now it's getting smaller.
The entire media has become a classier version of BuzzFeed combining such vital topics as amusing internet videos, celebrity mishaps and left-wing think-tank talking points into bland stories.
Occasionally someone in the media will write an actual in-depth story, a prestige piece that reminds you of what the media used to be even twenty years ago. But these stories will invariably be on non-political issues or political issues that the left doesn't really care about because they're overseas. The rest of the time even the prestige pieces are just a collection of talking points with biographical backing.
The media killed its own credibility when it went from inserting bias into legitimate coverage to turning its bias into the coverage. Like the Boston Globe cover up top, they're no longer pretending. There is no difference between DailyKos, Think Progress and the Boston Globe.
And who helped make that happen? Dan Rather, who exists as a reminder of a time when a media figure would actually be fired for telling a lie.

I have just cast on for the Dreambird shawl. I've only just started, and, at this point, I'm following the pattern blindly, going "huh?' and "what?" a lot. Apparently it makes more sense once you are a bit through it. Right now I'm just knitting and hoping.
After giving up on All the Single Ladies I'm listening to more feminist literature, specifically Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist. It's thought provoking and interesting, although it's also a bit scattershot. She's given me lots of good ideas about what to read next.
Right now though, I'm finishing Joe Abercrombe's Half a War. It's good, maybe not quite an strong as the other books in the trilogy, but it does seem to wrapping things up into a nice neat ending.
And that's what I'm reading and knitting this week. Pop over to Ginny's blog to see what she and the rest of the yarnalong are up to this week.

Report: Google Working on new Gmail App for Android
We've known for a while that the Gmail app on iOS looks and works a lot better than it does on Android. But that might change rather soon as a new report is out today suggesting that the Gmail app for Android is about to get a much needed overhaul. The Gmail app hasn't really gotten a big UI change since Ice Cream Sandwich. We've just had small tweaks since then. The new look of the app, shown above, looks much different from what it does now. Which leads me to believe that it's due to their acquisition about two years ago of Sparrow. Sparrow was a popular third-party email client on iOS and Mac. It was a great looking email client that everyone using the Apple ecosystem loved.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
The new UI looks pretty flat and looks really nice, at least in my opinion. Still has the slide out menu on the left side, along with all the tabs that you've got on the desktop. There's also a new feature, where you can pin certain emails to the top of your inbox. Say for instance there's an email that you want to deal with when you get to work tomorrow, just pin it to the top of your inbox so you don't forget, as long as that works on the desktop as well, it could be a really useful feature.
I'm definitely excited to see this new Gmail app come out. At this point, there's no word as to when it'll be available but we should see it rather soon. Who knows, we may see at Google I/O in June. We'll just have to be patient – which is definitely the hard part about this business. How many of you are interested in this new version of the Gmail for Android app? Let us know in the comments below.

Until 1884 what is now Togo was an intermediate zone between the states of Asante and Dahomey, and its various ethnic groups lived in general isolation from each other. In 1884 it became part of the Togoland German protectorate, which was occupied by British and French forces in 1914. In 1922 the League of Nations assigned eastern Togoland to France and the western portion to Britain. In 1946 the British and French governments placed the territories under United Nations trusteeship (see Trusteeship Council).

Coding in the Primary Classroom
To many, coding is a foreign term not used in the classroom. Questions, anxiety, and even fear take over teachers when they hear the word, "coding." It is not something to be afraid of but rather embraced. There will be more jobs requiring coding than ever before which means we need our students immersed in the world of coding at every grade level. There are several tools, apps, and resources available to all age and ability levels. It doesn't have to be "one more thing" in your classroom. Instead, coding can be integrated in many subject areas.
December hosts the "Hour of Code" all over the world. Code.org is a great resource for all learners. They provide detailed lessons with unplugged activities that do not involve the use of technology along with plugged activities your students can do with their iPads and laptops. For those of you who have never coded before, this would be a great resource to explore. Teachers do not have to be fluent in coding to teach it in the classroom. Code.org provides everything you need for you and your students.
As mentioned earlier, there are several apps that are great learning tools as well. Kodable is a great first step because it teaches you simple algorithms to use then builds harder lessons on from there. There is a free version that is already on your student iPads ready to be explored! Scratch Jr. is another great coding app. This app allows students to create whatever they want while using coding. There are many options in Scratch Jr. that allow the students to take their creativity to the next level. As an added bonus, students can share their Scratch Jr. creations simply by emailing or air dropping to other iPads. For more information, visit http://www.scratchjr.org/ to find tutorials and more information before you introduce this app to your students.
Code.org, Kodable, and Scratch Jr. are just three quick and easy ways to start using coding in your classroom. There are many coding tools and resources out there that can help you and your students learn to code so don't be shy! Play around with a few and start to get comfortable because whether we're ready or not, coding is our future.

French retailer Carrefour has apologised after 11 of its stores in China were caught overcharging customers for products such as cotton underwear and tea leaves, state media said Thursday.
Carrefour "sincerely apologises" and offered to refund customers five times the difference between the price charged and that on the label, the China Daily said, citing a statement from the company.
Officials at Carrefour did not respond to repeated AFP requests for a reaction.
A nationwide investigation also busted three Wal-Mart stores for deceiving customers over the price of goods but the US retail giant made no admissions of guilt in a statement sent to AFP on Thursday.
Wal-Mart said it would continue to "conduct thorough investigations of cases relating to pricing issues" and during the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday would further strengthen "the supervision of commodity pricing".
Local authorities have been ordered to fine the Carrefour and Wal-Mart stores for deceptive pricing practices and confiscate their "illegal income", the National Development and Reform Commission said on its website Wednesday.
Fines will be five times the amount confiscated, or up to 500,000 yuan ($76,000) if the amount cannot be calculated, the statement said.
The commission, China's top economic planner, also urged authorities to step up price investigations ahead of the Lunar New Year, which falls on February 3, and punish serious offenders with fines and licence suspension.
Retail spending usually soars for the most important holiday of the year as people splash out on food and gifts for families and friends.
The crackdown comes as Beijing tries to curb inflation, which rose 4.6 percent on year in December, down from a two-year high of 5.1 percent in November.
But analysts expect consumer prices to increase at a faster pace this month due to cold weather and the holiday season.

Sodje eases fitness fears
Akpo Sodje has reassured Sheffield Wednesday supporters that he is over his injury nightmare.
By James Dall
Last Updated: 13/07/09 11:17am
Akpo Sodje has reassured Sheffield Wednesday supporters that he is over his injury nightmare.
Sodje, who joined the Owls from Port Vale in 2007, made just two Championship starts last season after struggling for fitness.
The 28-year-old striker has since visited Dr Hans Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfarht, a leading injury specialist who assisted the likes of Manchester United forward Michael Owen.
Sodje is entering the final year of his contract at Hillsborough and is confident he will be a valuable asset for manager Brian Laws in the new campaign.
"I am over my injuries now," he told the Yorkshire Post. "I went to Germany to see the specialist about the hamstring and I think it has done the trick.
"He found out that I had a problem in my lower back and gave me about 43 injections in the base of my spine.
"I have been back in full training with the rest of the lads and, fingers crossed, I will be firing on all cylinders come the start of the season."

Today's adobe brick is composed of organic materials mixed with emulsified asphalt. The organic materials mainly consist of straw, sand, and clay. The straw acts as a binding material and helps to prevent the brick from cracking. The sand with in the mixture is used as a filler. Beach sand is the only sand that can not be used because it contains too much salt.
The clay is the glue which holds together the sand and the straw. Its main ingredient is aluminum salt. Aluminum salt is composed of very fine particles. The options are endless when it comes to clay types to use but the highest success is found with clay loam or sandy clay. If the soil to create the adobe brick contains too much clay it will crack. Sand can be added to the mixture when the clay ratio exceeds the code approval. After your mixture is complied a soil test is needed.
Lastly, the asphalt acts as a sealant to keep water out. Thus making the adobe brick water resistant. This helps the adobe structure from weather damage. It permits the structure to stand for many years and is why we still have century old adobe buildings still long-standing today.
In the United States we have uniform building codes. The adobe brick standards say that the brick must be durable to the climate in which the structure is located. It must be able to withstand stresses for example, rain. The codes state that the brick can not have more than three cracks, be able to withhold three hundred pounds weight and can not absorb more than 2.5% of water-among many other standards . You can find your cities building codes on buildingsguide.com. Good luck building!
