Starting November 10, 2015
The Frankston Challenge, Long time no blog
My talk on TED.com [link]
I'm excited that a TEDx Talk I gave last November has been posted as a TED.com video. The talk is a short retelling of the VisiCalc origin story. It's a much-condensed version of a talk I've been giving for many years, updated and enhanced. I'm very happy with how it came out.
Watch the TED.com video: "Meet the inventor of the electronic spreadsheet".
TEDxBeaconStreet, where I gave the talk, is part of the TEDx program. It is an independently-organized TED-like event, named after "...Bostons longest street, uniting towns and cities, neighborhoods and businesses, schools and families along the way." After they are given, TED picks up some of the talks at TEDx events and posts video from those talks on TED.com.
As I've often done in the past, I wrote an essay for the Writings Section of my website chronicling the process I went through to turn my long, rambling slide show into a tight, 12-minute TEDx-style talk. Viewers of the video may find the essay of interest. It was really interesting how helpful experience with crafting understandable, 140-character tweets on Twitter were for writing a smooth, short talk. I also found the ease and non-obtrusiveness of using popular recording devices (specifically, a GoPro Hero Session and the Voice Recorder app on my iPhone) for capturing feedback when practicing in front of others to be important.
Read "The story behind my TEDx Talk" in the Writings Section.
The Frankston Challenge [link]
This morning I went for a normal check up with a healthcare provider I hadn't visited in a few years. The receptionist handed me a clipboard with paper forms to fill out to "catch up" -- nothing pre-filled out. Luckily, I was given a very sharp pen -- the fields were often way too small (when you live in "Newton Highlands" you need a lot of room for "City"). When I got to the section on "Pharmacy" I remembered that that office had sent a prescription a previous time to the wrong location (same street and company, wrong city and address). To make sure this time, I needed the address and phone number. I took out my cell phone to look it up. One bar. Very slow and dropped connectivity. I found the address but gave up on the phone number. I saw across the room a little sign with "WiFi" written on it. I guess I could have gotten up and followed the info to connect to their wireless router, if I trusted it, but I was too lazy. I left the field blank.
This was a reminder of what I call "The Frankston Challenge". As Bob Frankston has written repeatedly over the years, we need to have ambient connectivity that works everywhere without a prior relationship or human intervention to get past sign-in screens. (For example, see: Understanding Ambient Connectivity.) Yes, there was Internet connectivity where I was (in a normal office building in a major suburb on a busy street right near I-95/Rt 128), but it wasn't good enough or easy enough to answer a simple question quickly. For the laptops that the doctors and nurses used it was no problem -- they had already keyed in the special codes. For a new mobile device walking into the office, it was trouble like waiting for an old dialup modem to connect or nothing.
In the world of the Internet of Mobile Things (IoMT) you want to be able to just connect. Mobile Things include smartphones, tablets, wearables, automobiles, and so many coming things. They move with (or on) you, or on their own. The connectivity environment around them changes. The Frankston Challenge is very real for them today.
For example, you can't, as Bob points out, require a pacemaker or wearable reporting info to doctors and other systems to be pre-authorized with wireless carriers and WiFi access points everywhere the person might go. You don't want to have to pull out a keyboard (and maybe a credit card) to authorize connectivity when you feel tightness in your chest.
This problem won't be solved overnight. Bob has been working constantly to bring this to people's attention. For me, though, I'm in the world of making systems for business people to build apps that run on tablets and phones that move around with the users. We can't wait. This means that we won't have reliable connectivity everywhere, even where you would expect it. We have to build our systems to tolerate loss of connectivity. A consultant may be visiting a client's retail site or factory, or a repair person out in the field fixing a pump or transformer. The apps they run that replace the paper clipboard with something better and more tied into the flow of their tasks must be able to run offline.
We at Alpha Software have been working steadily to make disconnection-capable apps easier to build so that can be the default configuration. This is especially true for data capture applications. Not necessarily ignoring connectivity when available, but not becoming useless when it isn't.
A final irony. The office building where my doctor worked was the same one were my old company, Software Arts, had rented some space back in the early 1980s. It was across a parking lot from our main building. We used a centralized computer for timesharing to run our whole business. We had a very early Ethernet system installed to give "high-speed" connectivity to the terminals on everyone's desk. There was coax cable everywhere. (This was very early in the history of Ethernet and the IBM XT was just coming out.) To connect the "remote" office hundreds of feet away, we had a trench dug under the parking lot (and then paved over) to run cable to that other building. We had high-speed connectivity there. Today I parked within a few feet of that trench. Connectivity was still a challenge over 30 years later.
Long time no blog [link]
It's been a long time since I posted here on my blog. I've written a couple of essays that appeared on the main Bricklin.com web site, and I've tweeted a lot (as @DanB), and even did some podcasting as part of the Adventures in Alpha Land podcast series, but not much here. My day job at Alpha Software has continued to keep me very busy with other things.

Looking for good Mac backup software
{ 1 comment… add one }
I use Silver Keeper at home. You can also set up Rsync (already embedded in Darwin) to automatically backup to any other *nix based machine. The next version of OSX seemingly will have a good solution built in.
What is the end use? Is it for his business and how much data is being backed up from how many machines?

text: Hi all, My understanding is that you can use GV's voicemail service in lieu of the carrier's voicemail, even with a non-GV phone number. I have selected the option in GV to use GV as the main voicemail for both my VZW and GV phone numbers. However, when someone calls my VZW number, they receive a "your call cannot be completed" recording and the call ends. Does anyone know how I can correct this? Is visual voicemail behind the issue? Thanks! Mischka

Lon Kruger hasn't been contacted by anyone at Georgia and doesn't expect to be, he said Friday.
''That's a job that's going to attract a lot of interest and very good candidates,'' he said. ''I wouldn't think we're a candidate. I don't have any reason to think that we are. There are a lot of other guys who fit better.''
However, the former Atlanta Hawks and collegiate coach wouldn't rule out talking to Georgia officials about the men's basketball coaching job that became available Thursday when Jim Harrick resigned.
Dogs won't let signees go yet
Harrick retiring, going home
''I don't want to say I'm not interested because that suggests I don't think it's a good job,'' he said.
The ongoing investigation into alleged, and proven, wrongdoing in the program won't scare off any candidates Kruger said.
''I don't think that'll be a factor,'' he said. ''Both Georgia and the candidates will look at that with much longer range perspective, and hopefully there is nothing real significant in the short term.''
Kruger coached the Atlanta Hawks for 21/2 and a half years before being fired at midseason this year. He led Florida to the Final Four in 1994 and also coached at Illinois and Kansas State. He said he expects to get back into coaching eventually and doesn't care if it's in college or the NBA.
''It's more about people and relationships,'' he said. ''I imagine I'll be looking to work with young folks in some way. We're not locked into anything.''
Georgia athletic director Vince Dooley said Thursday there was no timetable for the search and he intends to attend the annual coaching convention at the Final Four in New Orleans on April 5-7 as part of the search.
Like Kruger, Tim Floyd was successful at several colleges before a less-than-successful stints in the pros. Floyd, who coached at Iowa State, New Orleans and Idaho, has been out of coaching for more than a year since being fired by the Chicago Bulls after 31/2 seasons.
Clemson remains in regular contact with Floyd, and ESPN.com reported the Tigers have already offered him their job. However, Clemson athletics director Terry Don Phillips told the Greenville News that Floyd is exploring other options. He has also visited Penn State.
''I don't know where he is with other jobs out there,'' Phillips said. ''He has other options; he's going to explore those options.''
Western Kentucky's Dennis Felton is another potential candidate. He has led the Hilltoppers to three consecutive NCAA tournaments. Western Kentucky athletic director Wood Selig told the Bowling Green (Ky.) Daily News early Friday morning that he had not been contacted for permission to speak to Felton. ESPN.com reported that sources told that organization that Felton could be the leading candidate for the job.
''I guess you would say I'm pleasantly surprised that no one has contacted me yet,'' he said.
Felton makes $450,000 annually, and the school is currently making significant renovations to the basketball arena.

kairos south africa
As an annual visitor to South Africa I am often asked, "will the budding democracy survive or will it go the way of other African dictatorship kleptocracies?"
For starters of course it can be said that all democracies, even America's in an election year, are works in progress.
But beyond the obvious it is accurate to assert that the model post-apartheid constitution and bill of rights in the early 1990s established a sound foundation. The media and courts remain vibrant and even courageous, African National Congress party discipline is improving, the government is being held accountable for corruption and lack of basic service delivery, and a growing vocal parliamentary opposition is emerging. The grass roots civil society—planted and thriving from the liberation struggle—is active in movements such as Kairos Southern Africa.

5 Big Ideas For 2017
2017 is poised to be a pivotal year for marketers. Here are five trends that will dominate the industry this year.
Micro-Conversions As A Key Performance Indicator
Instead of simply tracking conversions, marketers will optimize towards micro-conversions that serve as important milestones on the path to purchase. These indicators will be critical for predictive audience modeling and contextual retargeting.
Multitouch Attribution Takes Over
As brands continue to demand greater accountability from their advertising partners and return on their ad spend, they'll move away from last-click attribution to a multi-touch model. This move will enable them to see the impact of every paid event within a customer's path to purchase, as well as combat click fraud, which dominated the news in 2016.
Creative, Meet Data
Data has become intrinsically integrated with advertising operations, but that optimization is only half the equation. Creatives will start looking at performance data when concepting and crafting advertising creative. Data will inform everything from theme and stylistic choices, to scripting and copy in 2017.
All In On Omnichannel
Brands will continue to push an omnichannel strategy, but the lack of a scalable and effective solution to attribute digital advertising's role in brick-and-mortar sales will remain a major hurdle. As demand continues to increase, online/offline attribution and analytics will become a key feature of demand-side platforms in 2017.
Influencer Marketing Falls Flat
Marketers will continue to struggle when attributing return on investment to influencer campaigns in 2017. Lacking proper tracking tools and relying heavily on perceived value, brands will move away from influencers and toward more scalable and predictable channels.

Here are Xamarin's official product logos. Please refer
to them as written. For example, write "Xamarin Test Cloud",
not "TestCloud" or "Xamarin Testcloud".
These are the main colors we use at Xamarin, with blue being our signature shade. The others should be used sparingly as accents.
Don't begin your company's name or registered web domain, product, blog, social media account, or app with "Xamarin" or a Xamarin product name.
For example, please don't name your product "Xamarin Widget." Instead, if you have created a product that can be used with the Xamarin Platform, you would call it "Widget for Xamarin." This implies your product should be used in conjunction with Xamarin, but was not created by Xamarin.
Use this description when you need copy to explain what Xamarin is in printable documents such as PDFs, white papers, guides, and presentations.

"Transforming a kidnapping plot into an epic rural fable and then a touchingly poignant love story, Harington crafts a wildly imaginative tour de force about a young Arkansas girl who survives a harrowing abduction and undergoes a remarkable series of epiphanies. Robin Kerr is the prepubescent protagonist who is snatched from her single mother by Sog Alan, a former state trooper who takes her to his ramshackle house on the remote pinnacle of Mt. Madewell just outside Harington's beloved mythical village of Stay More. Her kidnapper's illness and impotence keep Robin from being ravaged, and she capitalizes on Sog Alan's twisted love for her to carve out a bizarre existence with her abductor, aided by Sog's dog, Hreapha, who is given a singular voice of her own. (...) Harington has invented a unique post-Faulknerian piece of fictional terrain in his Stay More novels, and this powerful effort should further enhance his reputation as one of the great undiscovered novelists of our time."

Hi,I am using Allegro 15.5.1, 610 Design expert. When I am copying and pasting a via without assigning any net, it is automatically assigning net to the nearest plane. Is there any way to exclude the problem other than deleting the plane?? We need to paste a lot of vias where this is becoming a hindarance...Thanking in advance,Pavan.M
Using the route command, place a via in an area of the board where it will not connect to anything. When you copy this via, check the retain net of vias box on the options tab. This should allow you to place vias connected to "dummy" net.
Hi Hpattie,I tried it, but it is happening the same. I took for the via that has a dummy net with retaining nets and pasted, then they stay only in dummy net.regards,Pavan
It sounds like you are trying to add stitching to the perimeter of your design for shielding. If you want the vias to connect to a specific net, ie Signal_GND, you will have to start with a via that is connected to that net. You may contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com

|Trojan calls Handyman Marco Sessions but he gets no answer. Marco was in the shower and on his return to the bedroom, Daniel Dias (a very hunky piece of beef Marco picked up the night before and still hasn't let go) informs him of the missed call. Marco doesn't think it's time to talk about work but time to get his ass filled again by the chunky cock attached to the mountain of muscles laying on his bed. Marco crawls back on the bed. Going straight for Daniel's cock and at the same time offering his ass hole for everybody to enjoy, pity it's just the two of them. After servicing Daniel, Marco moves up and makes Daniel return the favor. He face-fucks him for a while and then slides back down on Daniel, reaching for his cock whilst positioning his butt right above Daniel's mouth. Daniel obliges and after a good ass eating session, it's time for marco to get his hole filled again. He gets fucked on his back then doggie style until his muscles draw the cum out of Daniel's balls and right in Marco's face. Which ignites a massive self cumshot in Marco. This is a really good long cum shot and he eats the cum.

Going to the Bellevue area early November, wondering how is the weather typically around that time. Was hoping to bring my MTB and stay an extra few days. Don't mind driving to get to the trails.
Also any good (technical) trails recommendations?

I have been a Midphase affiliate for a few years. When they switched

Cheryl Cole wasn't the only Girl Aloud on hand to support Kimberley Walsh as she ended her run as Princess Fiona in The Theatre Royal's production of Shrek: The Musical. Nope! Sarah Harding and Nicola Roberts were there too. If we were playing Girls Aloud Pokemon we would be going after Nadine with a big old net so as to collect the full set.
Sarah and Nicola both made their way to London's Vanilla restaurant and bar for their bandmate's leaving party - Nicola (above) in a blue dress and sleeveless denim jacket and Sarah (below) in a clingy yellow dress with black spots.
But whose party ensemble do you prefer?
We're going to say Nicola's because it's about time someone flew the flag for the sleeveless denim jacket. Also we were hoping to see Sarah Harding's "Don't be bitter - glitter" tattoo again and wearing a dress without a low back means this cannot happen. Sadness.

The Bizarre Butternut Woolyworm
© Julie © Rick Thompson © Daniel W Reed © kestrel360Habitat: from Tennessee northward to the Canadian borderStatus: Not listed At first glace, you might think that these fuzzy white things are pieces of fluff that fell off of a cotton plant. Then, you might say, hmm… that can't be right… wait a sec, that looks like a caterpillar! You'd be getting on the right track, but still, not exactly. These are actually Butternut Woolyworms (Eriocampa juglandis) which are the larvae of a species of sawfly. Unfortunately, they don't stay so sweet and cuddly looking. They will eventually crawl down into the soil and form a pupa where they will silently wait until they transform into their adult fly versions. The white strings are waxy filaments that deter predators from making a quick meal out of the larvae. I think they do look friendly as babies, though. 🙂...Read More

Hi Texas! my buddy and I are signed up to do the Rattler this year and We're looking at hotels, motels and/or gracious Austin area host houses. We're both grad students(I'm 35, he's 24), seriously geeky about mountain biking and hoping to find a place to stay from Thursday night through Saturday night. I'll be happy to finance the beers and cook our way through the weekend.
Thanks, and if no one can host and will be doing the Rattler, tell me about it. It's my first big mtb ride, and I'm equal parts terrified and excited about doing it!

Review by ms.hjelliot
This is a gem of a book. The story of a woman on her belated honeymoon. From this start, we glean knowledge of her childhood and young womanhood in flashbacks. Her observations stunning and descriptions marvelously vivid. We are there, traveling in the train with her, arriving in Paris, Barcelona, Ibiza, slightly disheveled and trying to recall the language. The relationships and outlook, honest:"...at least we had the barren fields of our incompatibility between us, which made us better than strangers." "Quite soon the day is over, and we have fashioned it from its grey beginning into something iridescent and unique."
Review by birdsam0610
Every Eye has the distinction of being the first Persephone book I have read. The Persephone books can be easily distinguished by their grey covers and lovely end papers, taken from the period in which the book was written. I do suggest looking at their website, but beware – you may fall in love with these beautiful books and want to collect them all!This book was a surprising library find for me – surprising because a) I'm in Australia, a long long way from Persephone Books and b) my library is generally not known for fiction other than very popular bestsellers and romances. Back to the book – the book contains an introduction by the author's husband, which sets the background of the book. The book is told in both the past and the present – the present being the protagonist's honeymoon with her younger husband and the past being a more unsuitable liaison as a younger woman. The past is triggered by Hattie learning about the death of her Aunt Cynthia as well as returning to Ibiza on her honeymoon. It can be a little difficult at first to work out if it's in the past or present (no changes of fonts here) but the book rolls along in its beautiful, gentle prose. It conjures beautiful images in a gentle manner and the reader slowly learns more about Hattie and her history all in good time.This is a short read but demands your attention to take in all that is going on.
Review by kaggsy
This is a remarkably good novella. The writing is superb, the plotting excellent and the switches between past and present tense for the two strands of narration are handled extremely well. On top of that, the tale itself is a fascinating one and the descriptions are beautifully atmospheric. Add in a killer last line and I'd definitely recommend this book - I really enjoyed it.

The Seven Common Sins of Parenting An Only Child: A Guide for Parents and Families
John Wiley & Sons, Jul 15, 2004 - Family & Relationships - 256 pages
As the parent of an only child, are you frustrated because you find yourselfĀ overindulging and overcompensating? Do you treat your child like an adult, overpraise, or overprotect him? Have you expected perfection from your child yet failed to make rules and implement them consistently? If you are not a perfect parent of an only child, you are not alone. Based on the real-life experiences of Carolyn White—editor of Only Child, parent, and educator—and hundreds of interviews with only children and parents of only children, The Seven Common Sins of Parenting an Only Child celebrates the special rewards and opportunities of the single-child family and offers a practical (and often humorous) guide for overcoming the most common errors parents can make when rearing an only child.

Britain has never concocted a crazier plan
Last week, amid the clouds of self-righteous humbug billowing out from Bali, Gordon Brown committed us to what I do not hesitate to call the maddest single decision ever made by British ministers. It was announced by John Hutton, Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, that we are to build 7,000 giant offshore wind turbines round Britain's coast by 2020, to meet our EU target on renewable energy. It will be the largest concentration of such industrial monsters in the world, enough, claimed Mr Hutton, to power every home in the country.
No matter that Mr Hutton's officials warned him in August it was not conceivable that we could achieve even a much lower target. So keen was Mr Brown that Britain should "lead Europe on climate change" that Mr Hutton was told to ignore his officials - and the media reported his claims without questioning whether such a megalomaniac project was remotely feasible.
For a start, no one mentioned costs. Mr Hutton spoke of his turbines, equivalent to one every half mile of coastline, as having a capacity of 33 gigawatts (GW), a hefty chunk of the 75GW of power we need at peak demand. But with the cost of giant offshore turbines, as tall as 850 feet, estimated at £1.6 billion per GW of capacity, this represents a bill of more than £50 billion - equivalent to the colossal sum earmarked last week by central banks to shore up the world banking system.
But of course the point about offshore turbines is that, because wind blows intermittently, they only generate on average at a third or less of capacity. So Mr Hutton's 33GW figure comes down to 11GW. To generate this much power from "carbon-free" nuclear energy would require six or seven nuclear power stations and cost, at something under £20 billion, less than half as much as the turbines.
This, however, is only the start of the madness. Because those turbines would generate on average only a third of the time, back-up would be needed to provide power for the remaining two thirds - say, another 12 nuclear power stations costing an additional £30 billion, putting the real cost of Mr Hutton's fantasy at nearer £80 billion - more than doubling our electricity bills.
But we must then ask whether it would be technically possible to carry out the most ambitious engineering project ever proposed in Britain. As pointed out by energy expert Professor Ian Fells, this would require us to raise from the seabed two of these 2,000 ton structures every working day between 2008 and 2020. Denmark, with the world's largest offshore wind resource, has never managed to build more than two a week, and marine conditions allow such work for only a third of the year.
It is not only on this count that Brown and Hutton's dream is unrealisable. The turbines' siting would mean that much of the national grid would have to be restructured, costing further billions. And because wind power is so unpredictable and needs other sources available at a moment's notice, it is generally accepted that any contribution above 10 per cent made by wind to a grid dangerously destabilises it.
Two years ago, much of western Europe blacked out after a rush of German windpower into the continental grid forced other power stations to close down. The head of Austria's grid warned that the system was becoming so unbalanced by the "excessive" building of wind turbines that Europe would soon be "confronted with massive connector problems". Yet Mr Hutton's turbines would require a system capable of withstanding power swings of up to 33GW, when the only outside backup on which our island grid can depend is a 2GW connector to France (which derives 80 per cent of its electricity from nuclear power).
Nothing better illustrates the fatuity of windpower than the fact that Denmark, with the highest concentration of turbines in the world, must export more than 80 per cent of its wind-generated electricity to Norway, to prevent its grid being swamped when the wind is blowing, while remaining heavily reliant the rest of the time on power from Sweden and Germany.
The Danes, who decided in 2002 to build no more turbines, have learnt their lesson. We British have still to learn it. Every time we hear that over-used term "green" we should remember it has another meaning: someone who is naively foolish and dangerously gullible.
An exemplary campaigner
Like many, I was shocked to learn on Friday of the sudden death of Paul Smith of Safe Speed, often quoted in this column, the engineer whose tireless researches did more than anyone to expose the muddled thinking and fraudulent statistics used by the Government to promote its damaging obsession with speed cameras.
As a committed road safety expert, Mr Smith was one of the most admirable single-issue campaigners of recent years. He will be much missed.
A nasty outbreak of myopia at The Observer
Last week The Observer gave more than half a page to a review of Scared to Death, the book I recently wrote with Dr Richard North.
Since The Observer has been second only to the BBC in its reckless promotion of scares, from BSE to global warming, it was not surprising that the science editor, Robin McKie, should set out to rubbish our book in hyperbolic terms. But in his eagerness to do so, he came a fearful cropper.
A well-tried technique for dismissing a book is to track down one or two small errors and hold them up to ridicule with the implication that, if the author can't get this right, nothing he says can be believed. Being a fanatical "warmist", Mr McKie ignored all the other scares analysed in our book and concentrated his fire on just four paragraphs in our 80-page account of global warming.
He picked us up on the famous "hockey stick" graph, which showed global temperatures remaining constant for 1,000 years and curving up lately to record levels. Ignoring the seven pages describing in detail how this was exposed as one of the greatest confidence tricks in scientific history, his only concern was to identify our error in claiming that the graph was omitted from the latest report of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
On the contrary, he triumphantly pointed out, it is included on page 467. He failed to mention that in 2001 the IPCC's report had produced the graph as Exhibit A, the ultimate proof of global warming, at the top of page one and five times later.
More damagingly, Mr McKie alleges that three quotations we include from a Cambridge astrophysicist, Nigel Weiss, citing a Canadian newspaper, are wholly fictitious ("Weiss never said any such thing"). "It is hard to credit such sloppiness," he says. Yet if Mr McKie consults the New Scientist of September 16 2006 and a Royal Astronomical Society press release of August 5 1999, he will find Dr Weiss using precisely the words we quoted.
I must apologise to readers who have had difficulty obtaining our book (which has otherwise been generously reviewed). After it immediately sold out, reprinting took some time but a second reprint is now available.

Spain's government Friday announced tougher restrictions for Romanian citizens wishing to work in the country, where unemployment has soared to more than 21 percent.
It said Romanians will now require a work permit before settling in Spain, ending a two-and-a-half-year moratorium.
"The temporary measure will not affect Romanians who are already part of the labour force in Spain," chief government spokesman Jose Blanco told a news conference following a cabinet meeting.
The measure "will not affect the free circulation of citizens within the European Union, a principle that Spain has always defended."
When Romania and Bulgaria entered the EU in 2007, their treaties of accession stipulated a seven-year transition period in which other members could limit access to citizens of the two countries to their labour markets.
Spain lifted this restriction in January 2009, but warned it could reimpose it at a later date if labour market conditions demanded it.
Since then, Spain's unemployment rate has soared from 7.95 percent to 21.29 percent in the first quarter of 2011, a record among countries in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation Development.
Henceforth, "Romanian citizens who want to work in Spain for a company must ask for permission in advance, based on the existence of a work contract," Blanco said.
"It is something that is actually in place in the countries like Britain, Italy, France and Germany."
He said the measure would "prevent greater pressure on our labour market."
More than 800,000 Romanians live in Spain, where the community suffers an unemployment rate of 30 percent.
The employment ministry said the decision, which was taken in collaboration with Romanian authorities, "is purely technical," noting that the "Romanian community... is fully integrated into Spanish society."
The measure "will be the subject to evaluation depending on the development of the labour market."

"This is our favorite way to have corned beef. Like many people, I've cooked many different ways starting with boiling corned beef with cabbage, potatoes, and carrots (ok, but plain) to baking (better but still not swooning yet). Currently this is the only way we want to have our corned beef now. I am using homemade Plum Sauce but you can certainly use many types of jams or jellies such as apricot, plum, cherry, peach, and pineapple. If you are using commercial jams or jellies, it is best to thin it so it is loose spreading consistency much like sauces."
Brad's Favorite Corned Beef
1 recipe photo
READY IN:4hrs
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 lbs corned beef brisket
- 1⁄3 cup plum sauce (see desciption)
- 1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)

- Amenable to rapid high-throughput solid-phase optimization
- Display minimal off-target activity and superior safety profile
- Provide multiple avenues for rapid hit-to-lead and lead-to-candidate optimization
- Incorporate specific elements designed for blood-brain barrier penetration
- Include unique compound designs based upon recurring structural motifs in protein-protein interactions
- Meet industry standard physicochemical property and handling criteria: solubility, clogP, tPSA, with stability as expected for small molecules
- Easily scalable in solution, reasonable manufacturing costs, applicable to standard formulation approaches
- Unique structures outside existing patents in macrocycle space
- Offer exclusive design opportunities for collaboration partners
Cyclenium CMRT Technology Advantages
Addresses the high unmet need for PPI-targeting chemistry
Provides an alternative to biological drugs (antibodies, proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides)
Orally available and blood-brain-barrier (BBB) penetrating macrocycles
Compounds behave like traditional small molecules: stability, PK/PD properties, development
Well suited to track historically poorly accessible drug targets in broad range of therapeutic areas
Protein-protein interactions (oncology, inflammation, metabolic diseases, infectious diseases)
Bacteria, viruses, fungi (infectious diseases)
Cytokines and chemokines (inflammation, oncology; no small molecule drugs to date)
G Protein-Coupled Receptors (CNS, cardio-vascular)
Enzymes (proteases, kinases, convertases)
In general, macrocyclic molecules offer an underexplored chemical class that provides an attractive alternative to the typical heterocyclic small molecules that dominate current pharmaceutical compound collections.
Macrocyclic Drug Discovery
- Covers molecular space between traditional small molecules and large bio-molecules
- Cyclic chemical structures with ring sizes of generally >12 atoms
- Captures pharmacological properties of larger peptides/proteins in metabolically stable small molecules
- Offers excellent target fit, high potency and excellent selectivity similar to biologics due to constrained and preorganized conformation
- Potential to modulate complex drug targets with simple agents
- Proven on broad range of target classes

Salix Homes announces £38m Decent Homes on more than 4,000 Salford homes
A Salford housing provider has said it will invest £38 million to improve more than 4,000 homes across the city.
Over the next three years Salix Homes will carry out a major investment programme to homes across the city.
The improvements, which include external and internal works to thousands of homes, is also said to include an extensive environmental programme to "enhance" local communities.
The work is the continuation of housing association's £75 million commitment to improve its homes and communities.
This large-scale programme was implemented after tenants in Salford voted to transfer ownership of their homes from Salford City Council to Salix Homes in 2015.
The housing provider has made a pledge to make sure all of its 8,300 homes are brought up to the Government's Decent Homes standard by 2020.
Salix Homes will deliver the programme through specialist contractors as well as its own internal investment team. The investment programme will include work on houses, flats and a number of high-rise blocks.
Lee Sugden, chief executive at Salix Homes, said: "We are delighted to announce we're going to invest £38m over the next three years, delivering ambitious and exciting plans to improve homes to a standard our customers deserve.
"We made a commitment to our tenants that we would bring all our homes to Decent Homes standard and invest in homes and communities that the people of Salford can be proud of.
"This 2017/2020 investment programme builds on the considerable and substantial improvements that have already been made to thousands of our homes since becoming a stand-alone registered housing provider.
"A huge amount of work has gone into making our 2015/17 investment programme happen and our staff are excited about delivering further improvements to our homes and communities.
"These improvements are no more evident than on our iconic Pendleton tower blocks – Magnolia, Mulberry and Sycamore courts – where we've almost completed major works on.
"A huge priority for us is making sure our investment programme has a wider, positive impact on the community.
"So that's why with every £1 million invested, contractors will have to commit to creating at least two apprenticeships for local people. We have already done this over the last two years with more than 70 roles created."

Programming note: Log on today at 12:45 p.m. to our live stream page for today's 49ers press conference from Santa Clara with OC Greg Roman, WR Michael Crabtree and CB Carlos Rogers!
SANTA CLARA -- Quarterback Alex Smith has looked good during the offseason months in previous years. But he has never looked quite like this.His strong training camp continued Tuesday with an outstanding start to the 49ers' three-hour practice. The only incomplete pass among his first 25 attempts came when his toss to Randy Moss, running the back line of the end zone, zipped through Moss' hands.RELATED: 49ers camp summary (814): Smith heats up, new depth chart
Smith's next two incomplete passes were deep attempts to tight end Vernon Davis late in practice. Three of Smith's final four attempts were incomplete -- no need to sound the alarm.Smith looks to be better at every aspect of his game. Obviously, with a year of experience working with Jim Harbaugh, Greg Roman and Geep Chryst, his knowledge of the system is better than ever.Examining him with the naked eye -- usually from a hundred yards away, where the media is stationed during practices -- it's impossible to pinpoint any dramatic mechanical differences. But the Alex Smith I've seen through 14 practices has been noticeably more accurate with his short, intermediate and deep passes. He also appears to be quicker with his decision-making.I'm not predicting a Pro Bowl season for Smith. But I am predicting the 49ers' passing game will be more formidable than a year ago when the team ranked 31st in the league in third-down conversions and 29th in passing yards.The 49ers have surrounded Smith with better options. As written and talked about after the 49ers' exhibition opener, look for the 49ers to use a lot more variety in the passing game. Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis are the team's top targets, and expect Randy Moss and Mario Manningham to share time as the Nos. 2 and 3 wideouts.Smith signed a three-year, 24 million contract in the offseason. His average salary places him in a tie with Matt Schaub for 18th-highest-paid quarterback in the NFL. Schaub and Joe Flacco, whose contracts expire after this season, will likely bump Smith down to No. 20 next year.Once thought to be worth nowhere near the financial investment of the No. 1 overall pick, Smith could become one of the best bargain players in the NFL if his training camp carries over to the regular season.

For the first one, I believe it's to do with using a more detailed scale. All of the results are between 3-5 cm in width and 4-6 cm in length. If you got rid of all the other numbers, so that the numbers that are related to the results stretch to fill the rest of the axes, the points won't be as clustered and the scatter graph will represent the data better. Though you typically start a graph with 0 at the origin, in a case like this where all the x and y coordinates are very far from 0, you may start the axes with values other than 0, as long as they are appropriate to represent the data.
For the second one, you've got to say that the width of the outlier (3.1 cm) is far less than would be expected for a pine cone of the outlier's length (5.8 cm). For example, a pine cone, length 5.7 cm has a width of 4.6 cm, so you'd expect the width of the outlier to be similar, however it's a whole 1.5 cm out.
