Winter sun
I was all nautical-ed up for being by the seaside.
I found myself a rock ledge to sit on after all the exploring.
I sat there for ages and it was so nice, with the sun on my back and being lulled by the sound of the sea (it doesn't work for sleeping though, I downloaded an app with crashing waves to help me sleep and it sounded like people stamping in puddles around my head, very distracting).
I filmed some clips with my phone, so here's a 30 second video.
Striped top is from Uniqlo, tote bag is from The Evolution Store, watch c/o Daniel Wellington, loafers from Bass.
The look of pure evil.

Oh wow, this looks absolutely wonderful--so tranquil. I would love to live by the sea and take day trips like this. Seems like the perfect place for reading or napping, and wearing stripes of course! :-)ReplyDelete
beautiful <3 your blog is very lovely and interesting. im glad if you visit my blog, too <3 keep in touch!ReplyDelete
23 in winter! Wow you are lucky with the weather! I love your outfit & bag, please add links, I don't think I could find anyxxReplyDelete
This looks like such a peaceful place, perfect chip munching setting. Nice to get away from any built up areas and take time out to recharge and wind down. I enjoy being on my own in places like this.ReplyDelete
Great shots too btw, I sand looks so squeezableReplyDelete
JANE! I used to be fleshandcolours but now I have my new blog here: http://jessicatekin.blogspot.com.au . I've missed reading your blog heaps, I have to go back through your posts and figure out what I've missed out on :)ReplyDelete
Today's 21 degrees in Melbourne, and while there's storms on their way, this winter's weather has been ridiculously gorgeous.
How funny!ReplyDelete
I was there on the weekend and took some VERY similar shots :)
Such a beautiful set of photographs, i love the colours and light :)ReplyDelete

I've been loving the weather! The beach looks amazing (honestly though. I should really go there).ReplyDelete
I swear seagulls are secretly the devil reincarnated.
Oh what a happy post. This makes me want to go down to the beach this instant. Too bad it's at least 3 hours away :(ReplyDelete
This sounds like such a relaxing thing to do! I wish it were that convenient for me to visit the seaside on a regular basis, but I guess eating plain old fish and chips at home (kind of) has the same effect... nevertheless, I really need to visit this spot someday!ReplyDelete
I want to run away to Australia...right now. The weather has been 37 C here and absolutely unforgivable.ReplyDelete
Aww, looks so beautiful.. And I must say I'm quite envious about the degrees; during winter we can have as low as -35 celcius (or less!) Brrr.. :DReplyDelete
. indie by heart .
it's so beautiful here! and i love love your outfit! i remember this past winter we experienced some crazy warm weather!ReplyDelete
The weather does look positively amazing. You are so lucky! I love your blog, added you on Bloglovin!ReplyDelete

Non-binary gender – What's in it for me?Posted: March 18, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
The Intersex & Genderqueer Recognition Project (IGRP), the only legal organization in the U.S. to address the right of non-binary people to gender-self-identify on legal documents (founded in 2011) has seen an explosion of successes since June 2016. On 3/9/2017 we became a project of The Hub for Direct Community Action eligible for 501(c)3 tax deductible donations. We have received hundreds of requests for help getting people non-binary legal gender changes, and have been responsible for over 2/3 of the non-binary petitions granted in California.
I recently sent the following in an email response to a question from one prospective petitioner, and thought it was worth sharing:
The answer to "What precisely does changing my legal gender do for me?" is complicated.
- For some people, the personal feeling of being validated means a lot (one petitioner walked out of their hearing with tears of joy running down their face).
- For others, it's a step towards changing their driver's license (which is not possible for non-binary people yet, but will be soon, probably in both OR and CA)
- …or their birth certificate (which depends on what state you were born in… currently there have been birth certificates revised to something other than M or F in NY, DC, OH, and MI, and we have paperwork submitted for several people in CA).
- For some people they are excited to be one of the first, to have the opportunity to challenge the myth of the gender binary (and in the case of intersex people, the myth of sex being binary as well).
- For some people, they are willing to be in the news, be interviewed, to speak out to their friends and families, or talk to the legislature to help pass SB-179.
- For some they are willing to be a possible plaintiff in a future case against their state or the federal government to engage in "impact litigation" which will permanently change the laws and allow for equal recognition of all non-binary people.
What it means personally to you is up to you to decide. For you, maybe it's better to wait until it becomes as easy as it is for binary trans people, and you can change all your ID at once. That may well be years off, if you are talking about Social Security records and Passports in the Federal government, and Birth Certificates and Drivers Licenses in every single state in the US.
This is kind of like the Marriage Equality movement (something I am extremely familiar with) where there was a strategy of starting in liberal states, and then "losing forward" in the middle of the country, and eventually getting rights in enough states to reach a "tipping point" and going to the US Supreme Court. Back in 2005 we called it our "2020 Vision," which just goes to show how successful it was, since we won Obergefell in 2016.
IGRP is following a similar strategy to win Non-binary rights in the US. When the marriage movement was happening there were some people who wanted to wait, and that was what was best for them. There were other people who wanted to be in front of the issue, even if it meant heartbreak along the way (my wife and I were married to each other 5 times and were in the news constantly for years, and a lot of it was hard and painful.) Maybe you want to do that. Maybe you just want to get the court order now and apply for the drivers license when you can. Maybe you want to wait. You need to do what is right for YOU. We are here to support you in whatever that is.

We're Asking the Supreme Court to End Bi ErasurePosted: March 5, 2015 Filed under: Legal Eagle Leave a comment
A group of Bisexual Lawyers and Law Professors called "BiLaw," of which I am a founding member, just submitted an Amicus Brief in the 4 marriage cases (click here to read the brief). I wrote the initial draft of the second section based on my paper and article published here previously. Professor Nancy Marcus wrote the first section, asking the Supreme Court to end bi erasure.
Two major points of the brief:
1) Bisexuals are not reflected in litigation for the rights of lesbian, gay, and bisexual people. This brief urges the court to reverse this trend of bisexual exclusion.
2) Inclusion of bisexuals strengthens the argument that marriage bans should be subject to heightened scrutiny as sex discrimination.

How I'm Watching For SCOTUS Decision on MarriagePosted: June 24, 2013 Filed under: Legal Eagle | Tags: Defense of Marriage Act, SCOTUS, SCOTUSblog, Supreme Court, Supreme Court of the United States 2 Comments
It is 6:30am PST on Monday June 24. Today, again, we are waiting with bated breath for the decisions from SCOTUS ("Supreme Court Of The United States," for the uninitiated) on the Windsor and Perry cases. They may be announced today at 7am PST (10am Eastern). Or they may be announced later this week on Thursday or another date added by the court.
Here is how I'm watching:
I have one browser window open to http://www.scotusblog.com/. It is a live up to the second blog posted from the gallery of the Supreme Court on the decisions as they are announced.
I have another browser window open to http://www.supremecourt.gov/. Within seconds of the blog announcing an opinion is being released today I can hit reload and a link to an electronic version of the decision will be posted there.
Here is the blog post I wrote last Thursday about how it feels to wait for this: https://tobyshome.wordpress.com/2013/06/20/supreme-court-ruling-on-marriage-it-could-be-today/
Enjoy the excitement and watch with me!!!

Supreme Court Ruling on Marriage – It Could Be TodayPosted: June 20, 2013 Filed under: Happily Married, Legal Eagle | Tags: California, California Proposition 8, Defense of Marriage Act, DOMA, Marriage, Massachusetts, Prop 8, Supreme Court, Supreme Court of the United States, United States 2 Comments
This morning at 6:30am Pacific time we might find out the SCOTUS rulings on DOMA (Windsor v. ) and Prop 8 (Perry v.) … or not. I just woke up from a dream that I overslept, and when I'd awoken everyone else knew. I walked out into the street and tried to tell from the parades in the street what the ruling was. They weren't celebratory. They weren't devastated. They were hopeful. And that's how I realized (in the dream) that all we knew at 6:30am was that we would find out that day. But we might really know the answer at 6:30am.
It's 4:15. My dream woke me up at 3:45am and I finally realized only blogging about the marriage cases would get me back to sleep. Waiting for these rulings is not doing wonders for my sleep. Honestly, neither is the fact that I had a job interview yesterday, my house is going on the market this week, and I have to respond to some questions about my 2011 taxes in the next 7 days. There's other stuff too. Kid's health insurance issues. The usual stuff people have to deal with in life. I guess that's the point, isn't it? All of us have to deal with supporting our families, surviving the housing crisis, paying taxes, getting health care for our kids. But only those of us with same-sex spouses have to ALSO worry about whether our marriages will be validated under state and/or federal law, which, by the way, also affects our jobs, housing, taxes, and kids' health care, among other things.
It's been a long ten years.
On July 19, 2003 I married my wife. Beautiful ceremony. You should have been there. But we only got a few rights under California Registered Domestic Partnership. That pissed me off enough to get active. I hadn't been that active before, not in marriage equality. Not until I fell in love with the woman of my dreams and realized we were getting the short end of the stick compared to if, say, I had fallen in love with and married the man of my dreams. I'm bisexual, it could have happened. But it didn't. The person of my dreams was a woman. So everything was that much harder.
The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) had been passed by Congress in 1996, keeping the US government or other states from being required to recognize any same-sex marriage that a state might allow. Not too long after our wedding Massachusetts became the first state to allow same-sex marriage. I'm from Boston. Unfortunately my wife was not about to move to Massachusetts. Something about shoveling snow. It's not just that you can't "take California out of the girl." You really can't take the girl out of California.
Fast forward 10 years. The California legislature had passed marriage bills several times only to have them vetoed by the governor. The California supreme court had ruled for marriage equality, thousands of couples got legally married (including my wife and me, on our 5 year anniversary), and then the voters passed Proposition 8 which forbid any more marriages while leaving those that already occurred legally intact. Not that our neighbors believed that. They all insisted that since Prop 8 had passed we weren't really married. Not the law, but definitely the perception of many of our neighbors.
You can see where I'm going with this. Not only are Nine Very Important People about to decide whether the Federal Government has to treat my family as a real family, they are also about to decide whether the rest of California will believe our marriage really exists. And more importantly whether other same-sex couples will be allowed to marry legally in California. I really like going to weddings, and this could be a busy summer for weddings. Or not.
The possible outcomes are many. You can read more about them here: http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/hollingsworth-v-perry/ and http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/windsor-v-united-states-2/
It's after 5:30am. The sun is up, a little. In less than an hour the Supreme Court may announce that DOMA is unconstitutional and the Federal Government has to recognize my valid state marriage. It may announce that California isn't allowed to grant the right to marry and then take it away on the discriminatory basis of a person's sexual orientation or gender. It may very well say that they aren't in the business of deciding these things and dismiss based on standing or as "improvidently granted." If a decision comes today I will be at the Sacramento news conference at the LGBT Center and the rally on the on the west steps of the Capitol at 6pm: https://www.facebook.com/events/598575030160877/
Or it may not announce today. The Supreme Court may stay silent another day. And then we will wait until next Monday 6/24, or next Thursday 6/27. In which case I will go work on my house some more, and deal with the taxes, and spend time with my family… wondering if the decision will bring joy or tears. Hopefully I'll be able to get some sleep.
I could have written a lot about the court, the precedents, and the possible legal outcomes. I've done so before. I will do so again. But when these cases wake me up in the middle of the night they come down to family, and being treated fairly instead of feeling bullied by the law, and whether today will bring joy or tears, parades of devastation or celebration … or possibly just more confusion.

Hold the Line: Teenagers Don't Learn On TimePosted: May 17, 2013 Filed under: Super Mom | Tags: Hold the Line, Lyrics, Parenting, Teenagers, Toto 2 Comments
My daughter is 12. She has been "pushing the boundaries" of the rules of our house and her school lately. I had this song lyric in the back of my mind… Hold the Line… something something something. Couldn't remember the band or the rest of the song.
The next day, still thinking about this problem I was having with my kid and trying to remember to just "hold the line," I turned on the radio and there it was playing loud and clear. Toto. "Hold the Line… Dah da da da… Love isn't always on time… Whoa whoa whoa…" The words fit so perfectly to how things were going with the kid. It's not in the way that I hold her, or the way I say care, or how I've been treating her friends, or even that I stay til the end…
What helps my kid learn what she needs to learn in life, what I am trying to teach her, is that I hold the line. Like army generals calling on the troops to "hold the line." This is the ground I will not surrender. No matter how much I am fired upon. No matter how scared I am. No matter how much easier it would be to back off and give in and let her take over that territory. I hold the line.
If you refuse to do your homework,
I will not give you the treat you are hoping for.
If you yell at me,
I will not back down and let you have your way.
If you have "intolerable" behavior,
I will not allow you any tv or computer or other fun stuff for the rest of the day.
The rules are the rules and they will remain the rules. Your world is safe, it is predictable, and what we expected yesterday is what we expect today. The rewards for good behavior will be what they have been in the past. The consequences for bad behavior will be what they have been.
It's not in the words that I tell my girl. It's not in the way I look or the things that I say that I'll do.
It's what I actually do. Stand there. Don't budge. Hold the line. No matter how many years she has known the rules, she will break the rules, and it's my job to remind her they are still there.
Hold the line… Teenagers don't learn on time… Whoa whoa whoa…
Still job hunting? Keep swimming…Posted: April 24, 2013 Filed under: Random Rants | Tags: Business and Economy, Employment, Job Hunt 2 Comments
I posted this graphic on Facebook the other day:
Dory has to swim the entire ocean. Her advice? "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming…" kinda sing-songy, and with a goofy smile.
I didn't do it to get a laugh, or because I thought someone else needed to hear the message. I did it because I needed to hear the message. ME.
But it's not just me. Everybody (even non-legal folks) is probably aware there is a glut of law school grads and very few lawyer jobs to go around. And everybody is definitely aware of all the people, all kinds of people, who are out of work and are still job hunting.
Not you? Probably one of your friends. Think for 5 seconds… yup, that guy… that gal… you know the one. Still looking.
Everybody has advice. Look here. Look there. Do this. Do that.
This is my advice: you know what to do already. Just keep doing it. Don't give up. Don't EVER give up.
Well, maybe for a day. I give up about one day every few weeks. I get depressed. I watch TV all day. This is what I posted to "close friends and family only" the last time that happened: "looking for a job sucks. wondering how to pay rent or buy food sucks… I think I will stay in my pajamas on the sofa all day and watch as many episodes of some TV show in a row as I can. maybe West Wing (so I can pretend I work there) or some sci fi thing (so I can completely escape this planet)." It's ok to take ONE day off, and to share this stuff with your close friends and family. Not so much in "public" posts that will be read by potential employers.
To be clear: I only just started looking, really. It looks bad because I've been out of school since May, but it's not like I've been job hunting diligently since May.
Most top 15% law students like I am who want the kind of job I want (public interest) look for jobs like this: Law Review, summer internship, get fellowship sponsor, submit fellowship applications and judicial clerkship applications in September, graduate in May, take July bar, start Fellowship/Clerkship in August. Celebrate bar results in November.
What I did was this: juggle special needs child and law school classes, no time for Law Review (required for most judicial clerkships), intern in the fall and spring while kid is in school, miss fellowship deadlines in September, graduate in May, take July bar, deal with kid starting 7th grade in August while I worked a godsend part time contract job at a small firm where they didn't mind that my kid was being suspended every other day requiring me to leave work and go pick her up, miss deadlines for fellowship applications AGAIN, get kid switched to school where she is doing well and staying in school so I can finally work full time (whew!)
Last month when the part time contract job ran out of work for me I got serious with job hunting. Serious as in: Monday-Friday 9am-5pm I job hunt. I job hunt like I studied for the bar only not quite as many hours (I did pass, by the way).
Make a list. Execute the list. Don't stop. Don't think about passing (getting hired). Just keep executing the list. Do the footwork. Let god/fate/whatever take care of the results. If I get worried, I just keep swimming.
The other advice I have, beside "keep on swimming," is Do Epic Shit. I add "even though it doesn't pay." Volunteer for a really great project. It IS ok to post about THIS in public posts that potential employers will see. Get your name out there. But even more importantly: keep your spirits up by remembering that you are a force of awesomeness! I do this blog (especially my legal writing) to keep active in my field, and I volunteer for the One-Day-Divorce-Clinic (and even got to be on TV doing it). It's kind of like the "do what you love" saying, without "the money will follow." Because the money only follows if you keep job hunting too. Don't volunteer so much that you forget to keep job hunting.
Also, don't spend TOO much time on Social Media(tm). Schedule yourself a little break to chat online, read my awesome blog, and then log off and get back to job hunting work. Like I am doing. Right. This. Minute.

Disastrous Acne: Blame Your Hormones
The nasty acne is indeed a disastrous skin condition. You may agree that this skin issue common during your teenage years especially during pubescent stage can leave you with plenty of reasons to get depressed.
The exact cause of this disease is not determined yet there are several factors to its development.
The Nature of Acne
During high school, you still remember not being in the mood to attend your class because you have the unsightly zits. Yes, acne can take away your self-esteem. What is the nature of this disease? Skin experts believe that acne or pimples is hormonal by nature.
You know that a culprit to acne development is sebum or oil. Hormones aid in the maturation of your sebaceous gland (oil gland). This explains why children do not grow pimples.
However, it is unclear how hormones cause or influence acne growth. There is a question on whether the skin is the target of the hormones or does your skin produce hormones itself?
The Hormone
What is the hormone which affects acne development? What is the main culprit to your problem? Aside from being a bacterial infection caused by Propionibacterium acnes, hormones also play a big role in growing pimples.
Your oil glands may produce excessive amounts of oil which serves a good medium for the said organism. When dirt and cell debris mix with sebum and clog your pores, inflammation, redness and growth of pimples may occur.
The naturally occurring substance in your body (the hormone) which can cause acne is testosterone. It is considered to be a "male hormone". However, you can be a women and you are not spared from having pimples because you also have amounts of testosterone in the blood but lesser that that of the males.
This hormone can cause a surplus of oil produced by the glands making you at risk of clogging your pores and develop infection.
Pimples in pregnancy, menstruation and menopause can be due to another culprit to acne development- estrogen. What can be done in this case? Your skin doctor may give you low-dose contraceptive pill use. Another option is using a pill that can block androgen receptors and keep your testosterone levels steady.
Is Acne Preventable?
Yes, the ugly zits are highly preventable. Stress is known to cause acne due to its effect to the balance of hormones in your body. Despite its hormonal nature you can prevent and manage the growth of pimples on your skin.
There are several other factors to acne development. It can be due to infection so a good physical hygiene can help in its prevention. Experts believe that diet can affect skin health and cause you pimples.
Eat healthy and have a balanced diet in order to prevent the unsightly zits.
No one is spared from growing a pimple on the face. You cannot go passed puberty without even seeing a tiny zit on your skin. You know that the changes or fluctuations on the level of hormones are great factors in the development of pimples.

Mohanad Alwadiya: The Godfather of real estate strikes back
Mohanad Alwadiya: The Godfather of real estate strikes back
When a boat sinks, its passengers try to grab onto the last piece of wood to survive. When a tiger attacks a village for his 'meal of the day' – each villager tries to outrun the other in his 'run for life'. If only he could outrun one person, then he would have a chance to live – because the tiger would need just one villager for that day. None of them have the luxury to think of others' welfare.
Where survival of the fittest is the name of the game, one would hardly have the time, resource or inclination to think of others' welfare. However, there are exceptions to the rule. Mohanad Alwadiya, Managing Director of Harbor Real Estate, is perhaps one rare exception who did exactly that.
When the global financial crisis hit the UAE's real estate and construction sectors in 2008-09, the scenario was somewhat close to that of the 'survival of the fittest' in its worst form. Surviving a day was an achievement. However, some people and companies survived the crisis that continued for four years – from October 2008 till September 2012. It was a hell of an achievement.
Mohanad is one of them. He is not only a survivor, but he survived the crisis in style — by helping his clients in dire straits.
"Our approach has always been 'what more could I do for you' – as opposed to – 'what could you do for me'," Mohanad Alwadiya, Managing Director of Harbor Real Estate, tells Gulf Property in an exclusive interview. "This has been the key of our success – by extending a helping hand to clients."
This attitude has led Harbor Real Estate reach new heights and gain market trust. So, it helped the company not only expand its scope of operations and offer end-to-end property and asset management solutions, but also helped pioneer the business and gain new clients.
"It was a learning curve and we learned the hard way. But we remained focused and honest to our clients and so clients stayed with us. In fact, our reputation helped generate more leads through our clientele and others came to us to serve them," Mohanad says. "Today, we do not have to chase clients. They find us."
He is one man who constantly finds ways to maximise the wealth of their institutional clients – in the thick and thin and even during the height of financial crisis. Mohannad stormed to fame by turning around Harbor's then-flagging fortunes by shifting their business from a mere real estate brokerage firm to a complete end-to-end property and asset management solutions provider at the height of the financial crisis in 2008-09 – when clients wanted to 'get more for less' for their properties.
Today Harbor Real Estate has more than 6,000 units valued at more than Dh14.8 billion worth of real assets under management, providing all types of facilities and asset management services for institutional clients. Mohanad has acquired the industry intelligence by dint of his knowledge, experience, wisdom, vision and his insights.
There is one more thing about Mohanad that makes him stand out. Unlike many business leaders who do not want to share their 'trade secrets' or the keys to their success, Mohanad is very happy and very vocal to share his industry knowledge, insights and intelligence — to improve the business practices and upgrade the business environment, especially in the real estate sector.
Mohanad has been called 'Mr Fix-It' or 'The Oracle of Real Estate' and other similar titles, but his achievements and influence in shaping up the property management sector can only be summed under one title: 'The Godfather of Asset Management'.
He is an industry thought leader, a trainer, an expert in real estate and asset management in his own right. Gulf Property spoke to Mohanad Alwadiya on wide-ranging issues related to real estate and the current market scenario including lower oil price and its impact on the sector – for our readers. Excerpts:
Gulf Property: How do you evaluate the decline in oil price and its impact on the real estate market?
Mohanad Alwadiya: It seems everyone is panicking with the news of oil price decline. As oil price increase has a mixed effects on oil exporters and importers, similarly oil price decline has mixed effects.
Obviously oil exporters will lose revenue that is like a huge national savings for oil importing countries as they now shell out less than half for the same amount of oil. They will now have more disposable income that they could spend on development works.
However, oil price decline is not a bad thing. It will actually help make the market more mature. The market needs to run on non-oil macro-economic fundamentals. This will make the market more resilient and less dependent on oil prices and other external shocks.
For the short term, I do not see major implications on the region's real estate sector as most Gulf governments are cash-rich anyway, and they will continue to spend heavily on infrastructure and housing – that will continue to drive demand.
Besides, a huge young population getting into employment would need new homes to raise families – so the demand will continue to grow, thus, we would see increased development activities.
A lot of people have observed that 2014 ended slow, somehow ushering in an apparently sluggish start for 2015, but what are your own projections for this year?
People are right in saying there has been a general slowdown in real estate activity during the close of 2014, and which has also continued well into this year.
However, instead of seeing this apparent slackening in the market as a negative economic indicator, I see it as an excellent sign of the Dubai property market's continuing maturation and stabilisation. My thoughts on 2015 are as follows:
First… As the broader economy continues to grow, the market will continue to benefit from current demand. The Dubai economy has been doing quite well, and economic growth is strong at around 4.5 per cent, with independent bodies such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasting 5%+ economic growth every year through to the end of the decade. With oil representing only about 4 per cent of the GDP, the economy is being driven by non-oil economic fundamentals such as tourism and trade, and a slew of new projects to grow these important revenue-generating economic segments.
Second… Investing in real estate means you are investing in the economy, and the effect of the upcoming Expo 2020 on the UAE economy cannot be understated in terms of generating demand for real estate assets. Dubai hosting the World Expo will provide additional impetus for the industry to enjoy continued growth, and the predictable surge in demand for accommodation and commercial space of all types – from labour camps to offices to warehouses to apartments to executive villas – will certainly have a significant effect on real estate values.
Third… Financing is more affordable than ever, but the low mortgage rates of today will probably not be available in 2 or 3 years' time. The likelihood of interest rate rises in the United States will make financing UAE mortgages increasingly more costly due, primarily to the AED being pegged to the USD. So if one is to take advantage of the current mortgage scenario, there is no better time than now.
Fourth… The industry itself is undergoing structural changes that will enable a greater degree of stability and better support, and will contribute ongoing economic growth. For example, reviews and recommendations have been completed and provided to ensure that Dubai's economic growth is not inhibited by a shortage in affordable housing. This demonstrates a desire to ensure that the industry is in a state of equilibrium, and can efficiently meet the demands of a burgeoning population that will be characterized by rapidly expanding lower to middle income segments. The opportunities in satisfying this growing need are immediate and significant.
Fifth… Being mindful of the lessons learned from the recent past, there has been and continues to be an unprecedented level of governance, oversight and scrutiny that the industry is being subjected to. Ongoing developments in the industry's regulatory framework and the implementation of laws and regulations to safeguard both consumer and investor interests, the overall industry and the economy at large from rampant and irresponsible speculative, predatory and unethical practices, reveal a mature and balanced approach to shaping an industry which will continue to exhibit sustainable growth over the long term. The industry is much more resilient in 2015, and investor, not speculator, confidence has made a big comeback.
Finally, if you are after superior yield with minimal capital outlay, Dubai real estate is still hard to beat. Affordable properties in developments such as Queue Point, Skycourts, International City, Dubai Sports City, Discovery Gardens and JLT are all benefitting from the stabilizing economy.
How do you evaluate the current market scenario? Have you observed any remarkable changes?
I expect the market to slow down further in a responsible manner – unlike what we all witnessed in 2008-09 when prices fell like anything. This time around it will be soft landing as opposed to steep fall – more like the matured and developed markets.
In fact, I like what's happening in the market now. There is a new set of speculators in the market who are cash rich. They have hard cash to invest and they are here with real money. So, they are not bank-rolled, unlike the speculators of 2007-09.
This time banks are unable to lend much, although they have ample liquidity. They are finding it hard to convince end-users to apply for mortgage, even though the mortgage rates have come to the historic lowest level. Banks are competing against each other by lowering mortgage rates, which has come down to 2.99 per cent level. However, buyers are also equally cautious. No one wants to go back to the 2008-09 situation.
Let's talk about some hard facts that our readers will find practicable in the arena of property investment especially now that more off-plan projects are being launched, albeit with stricter measures. How do you gauge the investment potential of unfinished or off-plan projects?
The fundamentals still apply. First of all, make sure that an off-plan purchase is consistent with your property portfolio strategy. If so, then proceed as there are some great opportunities to be had.
Location is critical and cannot be underestimated because it is a prime determinant of a property's value. The value of a particular location is usually derived from the levels of lifestyle convenience, pleasure, harmony, security, future economic value or even status that can be derived from the property.
Whether it be an outstanding view or proximity to dining, entertainment and business districts, or access to schools, hospitals or public transport, or being neighbourly with some celebrity types, the perceived benefits that a location may bring to a prospective buyer accounts for a big chunk of a property's total value.
The asset type is also important. What type of asset will be in demand in the future? Will it be affordable apartments? Townhouses for the middle income earners? Villas for the wealthy? Be smart about the 'product' that you buy into. Look for certain property types complete with amenities and facilities in locations which you believe will be keenly sought in the future.
Do not assume that all property types in all locations will improve their values homogeneously. No market works this way. Remember that it will be future demand which will determine the value of your property.
You need to do some careful financial analysis which will enable you to determine the value of the discount that you anticipate receiving by buying off-plan versus buying a completed property. You should sit down with your broker and determine the net advantage to you by buying off-plan. Many projects are being sold with easy payment plans which can be of tremendous value to you in minimizing your capital exposure before completion of construction.
You need to be conversant with financial concepts such as net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) to guide you in your decision-making when assessing your alternatives.
How would you differentiate long-term gainers from those who ultimately fail?
Of all my clients, those who have had the greatest success possess the ability to think long term, make rational, well-researched and carefully thought out decisions with the end objectives in mind, and they also understand that every real estate industry globally will go through cycles of growth and contraction.
They do not get duped into making short-term decisions based on inevitable market fluctuations, and they treat disturbing headlines as the catalyst for gaining a greater understanding of the underlying events that are shaping the industry, and if any opportunities may conceivably arise. This is what I like to describe as proactive investing.
You have been teaching brokers at the Dubai Real Estate Institute (DREI) to strengthen professionalism in real estate business. How do you evaluate the success of Dubai in setting up the rules and regulations for the real estate sector.
Dubai has now become a benchmark for real estate business and practice in the Middle East.
It has set a beautiful example that other neighbouring states and governments are pursuing to achieve.
I have been asked to share the Dubai knowhow in real estate sector and help governments to create a similar regulatory regime so that they remain better prepared for crises.
Dubai has come a long way in developing the rules and regulations for the real estate sector within such a short time. It has gone through a very exciting as well as a very painful experience – which has taught all of us some important lessons.
What Dubai has achieved in the last few years, others would have taken a few decades to do the same.
What is your key to success? Or in other words what are your unique selling points (USPs)?
We offer a holistic approach. We not only maximise the rents or take care of day-to-day maintenance. We maximise the wealth and value of the asset for our clients.
We engage with the client on a long-term basis and try to understand their needs and draw up plans accordingly. When it comes to property and asset management, we do everything for them, including offering strategic and investment advisory and help them gain maximum revenues.
It's more than a one-stop-shop service. We give strategic advisory and long-term forward directions – more as consultants, in addition to taking care of their assets and ensuring a continuous increase in shareholder value.
For example, if the inflation rate is around 4 per cent and your zakat is at 2.5 per cent, you need to grow at more than 6.5 per cent rate. So, we advise clients to invest in assets that will fetch more than 6.5 per cent per annum in terms of ongoing yields and capital appreciation.
So, that's where we make a big difference in the services we provide our clients.
How do you see the UAE real estate market going forward?
We see a 5-7 per cent increase in rents – a very high yield in addition to 6-9 per cent capital appreciation till Expo 2020.
One good thing is that the market will continue to behave like that of a matured market. No room for cowboys. It's more structured and there are no hidden surprises. I think, that's really good for the Dubai market.
The regulatory environment in Dubai is almost airtight – not much room is left for foul play. It's a fair playground for all stakeholders and would help everyone make money in a responsible way.
So, those who are looking for easy and quick bucks – Dubai might not be your playground anymore. You have to play by the rules, and here, Dubai rules.

Eli is one month old
Eli turned one month old on the 19th! I wanted to write a post but I was sick with a little mastitis and haven't done much of anything other than lay on the couch and be miserable... but I'm feeling better today.
I can hardly believe that we have already made it through the first month!! In some ways it's been really hard, in other ways it hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. Eli is growing bigger and stronger by the day! He awake for longer stretches and smiling more - which we all just love!!
This also means that it's time for Eli's follow up appointments at the children's hospital. I wrote a little bit about our journey so far in this post, in case you didn't catch it. In a couple hours we leave to go to the hospital and Eli will have a MAG3 kidney scan. He'll also have another ultrasound and a follow-up appointment with the urologist. It will be a long day and honestly - I'm feeling anxious. Not so much about the results of the test, the very worst outcome of this test would be if Eli has a blockage in his kidney causing the swelling, in which case he would need surgery at one year, however it's common for children with Eli's condition to never require intervention. No, I'm mostly just anxious about the tests themselves and having my little guy poked and prodded and stuck with needles. I anticipate a lot of crying today - maybe not all done by my baby. My consolation is that at least Eli won't remember any of this, so it's better to go ahead and get it over with now.
Than God for grandmothers! My mom is here to keep Josiah company while we're at the hospital with Eli and to be here when the kids get off the bus... I'm so glad she could be here for me!
I appreciate all of your prayers, comments tweets and kind thoughts.

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with this. Alexander's kidney continues to have fluid as well, so it's extremely likely we will be doing the same or very similar testing in the very near future. While I am sorry that you are experiencing the pain of watching Eli get poked and prodded, in some ways I am glad both of us can support each other in prayer as our sons go through this common experience.
I hope one day these 2 cousins will tell each other stories about "When I was a baby, I went to the doctor for my kidneys, but I don't remember it."

Happy one-month to you both! I will keep you guys in my prayers. Both of my boys developed jaundice pretty badly a few days after they were born and I had to watch them attempt to get IV's inserted, poked numerous times, and then have to spend 48 hours without being able to comfort my 4 day old babies. I definitely know how hard it is to have to watch your babies go through so much.
Just know you are doing what is best for him.
Praying for you.

What's the first thing you notice about Turkey? You might notice something different from me, or more interesting, but for me they are a genuine, happy honest people. Perhaps not all obviously, after all, between politicians, thieves, and the undecided, are a few percent of even the angels.
I like Turks even though they are my country's traditional enemy, of course we don't really have any traditional enemies, we don't really have the energy.
Istanbul is a country masquerading as a city, upwards of 15 million people, humans no less, and guess what, some are muslim. Yep, there's shock horror, women wearing veils!
I have a great route called Helva ta Turk, it's 5.10 or 5.11 depending how gripped you get (E2 or E3 in little Briton money). It's above the sea, it's rough, got texture, it's drippy, it's got run outs between bolts. It celebrates the failed take over of my country by the big knurly Turkish Empire. Please come to my island, and climb my route my Turkish friends. It's a great route like your country.
The more you travel the more people you realise there's only two kinds of people, "Cont, et non Cont" as the French would say. I love Turkish Airlines, they give you metal cutlery, trusting you not to spontaneously cut their throats, and take over the plane.
I am not religious as you know, but I worship blue-sky and sea, and frozen snow glacial ice.

The Sun reports that the royal family of Dubai is set to offer ₤200 million for the Everton soccer club. Would the Merseysiders be the same if they were owned by the Emirates? And playing in a new ₤78 million stadium that the buyers are proposing to build? Will Paul have to switch his allegiance to Tottenham Hotspur? Or will it turn out to be a false alarm?
Stay tuned!
PAUL adds: I have mixed feelings about this. Our owner, Bill Kenwright, is fantastic. But he's not rich by the relevant standard, and recently he acknowledged that Everton needs new ownership if the club is to remain where it is, never mind challenge England's "big four."
Unfortunately, foreign ownership seems to be a prerequisite for major success in English football these days. Liverpool and Manchester United have been purchased by Americans. Chelsea's rise corresponds with its acquisition by the third richest man in Russia (at least pre-crash). Recently a group from Abu Dhabi gained control of Manchester City and suddenly that formerly modest club is buying Brazilian super-stars and threatening to surpass Everton.
Something, unfortunately, has got to give.

Ann Hornaday discusses sound innovations in 1970s films
Sunday, October 24, 2010
Many innovations in sound that filmgoers take for granted today were pioneered in the 1970s, when such directors as Robert Altman, Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas pushed the limits of what sound could contribute to the cinematic experience. Ann Hornaday selects three great moments:
"Nashville" (1975)
Altman's experimentation with naturalistic technique reached critical mass in this crowded ensemble drama set in the country-western capital. Altman collaborated with multitrack recording expert Jim Webb to equip the actors with radio microphones, then gave each voice its own channel, to be accentuated or diminished in postproduction.
With "Nashville," Altman and Webb made the audacious decision to record up to seven actors at a time, creating a complex sonic tapestry of voices and aural points of view, which Altman later knitted into a vivid, naturalistic swirl. Webb also invented a system for recording an on-screen telephone conversation in real time -- later used in "All the President's Men" (1976), for which he won an Oscar.
"Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" (1977)
This was the first blockbuster shown in Dolby Stereo! (ask your parents). But even more important, "Star Wars" ushered in a new era in sound effects, by way of legendary sound designer Ben Burtt. Using surprisingly quaint techniques, Burtt created effects that would become a cherished part of a generation's soundtrack.
He invented the sound of Luke Skywalker's light saber by combining the hum of an idling film projector and the buzz a microphone picks up when placed next to a television set. He constructed Chewbacca's voice from the grunts and growls of bears at a zoo.
He recorded much of R2D2's voice himself, augmented by actual babies' burbles, and he created Darth Vader's labored breathing by recording himself breathing through a scuba regulator.
"Star Wars" also demonstrates how sound effects and music can work together to orient filmgoers to a film's mood and atmosphere. Composer John Williams created a lush orchestral score that, like the effects themselves, felt like a throwback to the serials and B-movie matinees that director George Lucas paid loving homage to with his old-school space opera.
"Apocalypse Now" (1979)
Sound designer Walter Murch recalls that director Coppola asked for three things for the soundtrack of the Vietnam drama: He wanted it to reflect the hallucinatory experience of soldiers in an often drug-fueled war; he wanted the weapons to be accurate; and he wanted the film "to envelop the audience in all dimensions."
For the film's extraordinary opening scene, Murch and his team synthesized the sound of a Huey helicopter, then separated its aural components. They used the slightly surreal "woop woop" of the 'copter's blades in an overture that combined sound effects, the Doors song "The End" and a narration by Capt. Willard (Martin Sheen) to introduce viewers to Willard's delusional, fever-dream world and the film as a whole.
Murch and Coppola also originated what is now known as 5.1-channel split-surround sound with "Apocalypse Now," with one channel in each corner of the theater, one centered behind the screen and one used for extreme low-frequency effects, like the rumble of exploding bombs.

If one prefers whiskey, does that equal a preference for a woodier type of fragrance and if one prefers champagne, does that coincide with a penchant for aldehydic perfumes? Or if you're a fruity floral person, do you prefer fruity beer and drinks?
What sayeth you!? (I was thinking about this on my way to work today. There's probably no or little correlation but I thought I'd ask anyway)
I'll get to a true perfume review one of these days, I swear!

FEDERALIST No. 19
The Same Subject Continued (The Insufficiency of the Present Confederation to Preserve the Union)
For the Independent Journal. Saturday, December 8, 1787
MADISON, with HAMILTON
To the People of the State of New York:
THE examples of ancient confederacies, cited in my last paper, have not exhausted the source of experimental instruction on this subject. There are existing institutions, founded on a similar principle, which merit particular consideration. The first which presents itself is the Germanic body.
In the early ages of Christianity, Germany was occupied by seven distinct nations, who had no common chief. The Franks, one of the number, having conquered the Gauls, established the kingdom which has taken its name from them. In the ninth century Charlemagne, its warlike monarch, carried his victorious arms in every direction; and Germany became a part of his vast dominions. On the dismemberment, which took place under his sons, this part was erected into a separate and independent empire. Charlemagne and his immediate descendants possessed the reality, as well as the ensigns and dignity of imperial power. But the principal vassals, whose fiefs had become hereditary, and who composed the national diets which Charlemagne had not abolished, gradually threw off the yoke and advanced to sovereign jurisdiction and independence. The force of imperial sovereignty was insufficient to restrain such powerful dependants; or to preserve the unity and tranquillity of the empire. The most furious private wars, accompanied with every species of calamity, were carried on between the different princes and states. The imperial authority, unable to maintain the public order, declined by degrees till it was almost extinct in the anarchy, which agitated the long interval between the death of the last emperor of the Suabian, and the accession of the first emperor of the Austrian lines. In the eleventh century the emperors enjoyed full sovereignty: In the fifteenth they had little more than the symbols and decorations of power.
Out of this feudal system, which has itself many of the important features of a confederacy, has grown the federal system which constitutes the Germanic empire. Its powers are vested in a diet representing the component members of the confederacy; in the emperor, who is the executive magistrate, with a negative on the decrees of the diet; and in the imperial chamber and the aulic council, two judiciary tribunals having supreme jurisdiction in controversies which concern the empire, or which happen among its members.
The diet possesses the general power of legislating for the empire; of making war and peace; contracting alliances; assessing quotas of troops and money; constructing fortresses; regulating coin; admitting new members; and subjecting disobedient members to the ban of the empire, by which the party is degraded from his sovereign rights and his possessions forfeited. The members of the confederacy are expressly restricted from entering into compacts prejudicial to the empire; from imposing tolls and duties on their mutual intercourse, without the consent of the emperor and diet; from altering the value of money; from doing injustice to one another; or from affording assistance or retreat to disturbers of the public peace. And the ban is denounced against such as shall violate any of these restrictions. The members of the diet, as such, are subject in all cases to be judged by the emperor and diet, and in their private capacities by the aulic council and imperial chamber.
The prerogatives of the emperor are numerous. The most important of them are: his exclusive right to make propositions to the diet; to negative its resolutions; to name ambassadors; to confer dignities and titles; to fill vacant electorates; to found universities; to grant privileges not injurious to the states of the empire; to receive and apply the public revenues; and generally to watch over the public safety. In certain cases, the electors form a council to him. In quality of emperor, he possesses no territory within the empire, nor receives any revenue for his support. But his revenue and dominions, in other qualities, constitute him one of the most powerful princes in Europe.
From such a parade of constitutional powers, in the representatives and head of this confederacy, the natural supposition would be, that it must form an exception to the general character which belongs to its kindred systems. Nothing would be further from the reality. The fundamental principle on which it rests, that the empire is a community of sovereigns, that the diet is a representation of sovereigns and that the laws are addressed to sovereigns, renders the empire a nerveless body, incapable of regulating its own members, insecure against external dangers, and agitated with unceasing fermentations in its own bowels.
The history of Germany is a history of wars between the emperor and the princes and states; of wars among the princes and states themselves; of the licentiousness of the strong, and the oppression of the weak; of foreign intrusions, and foreign intrigues; of requisitions of men and money disregarded, or partially complied with; of attempts to enforce them, altogether abortive, or attended with slaughter and desolation, involving the innocent with the guilty; of general imbecility, confusion, and misery.

The crash landing earlier this month of Asiana Flight 214 in San Francisco called to mind a dark period in South Korea's aviation history, when a series of deadly crashes on Korean Air planes led Delta and Air France to suspend the airline from their code-sharing alliance.
"The airline was ostracized by a lot of people in the global aviation community," airline pilot, blogger, and author of Cockpit Confidential Patrick Smith said in an interview.
In response, South Korea completely revised its civil aviation system, working to eliminate the downsides of an authoritarian culture and improve safety standards.
The results were clear: In 2002, Delta and Air France welcomed Korean Air back to the fold. The Department of Defense lifted the ban on its employees' using the airline, according to the New York Times.
The best mark of approval came from the International Civil Aviation Organization, the air transport arm of the United Nations, which gave the country a perfect score in a 2008 safety audit, covering categories including licensing, operations, airworthinesss, and accident investigation.
That's well above the global average, and better than the United States, based on the most recent audit numbers (for South Korea, 2008, and for the U.S., from 2005-2007):
In response to the Asiana crash landing, whose cause has not yet been determined by investigators, South Korea's transport ministry ordered the country's airlines to beef up safety measures and add training for pilots and crew.

- Supported Environments
- Parameters Reported by Agent
- Features
- Docker Support Build Feature
- Docker Connection for a Project
- Docker Build Runner
- Docker Compose Runner
- Docker Wrapper
- Docker Disk Space Cleaner
For TeamCity 2017.1.x Docker Support is available as a separate plugin supporting build agents on Mac and Linux. See the related blog-post.
TeamCity 2017.2 comes with built-in Docker support. If you installed the plugin for the previous version manually, please remove it.
Supported Environments
For TeamCity 2017.2.x TeamCity-Docker support can run on Mac, Linux, and Windows build agents. It uses the
'docker' executable on the build agent machine, so it should be runnable by the build agent user.
Parameters Reported by Agent
During the build, the build agent reports the following parameters:
|The Docker Engine version
|The Docker Compose file version if the Docker Compose build step is used
|The Docker server OS type, can have the
linux or
windows value
If you are using the Command Line Build step (and not the TeamCity-provided docker steps), these parameters can be used as agent requirements to ensure your build is run only on the agents with Docker installed.
TeamСity-Docker integration provides the following features which facilitate working with Docker under TeamCity:
Docker Support Build Feature
Adding this build feature will enable docker events monitoring: such operations as docker pull, docker run will be detected. The build feature adds the Docker Info tab to the build results page providing information on Docker-related operations.
Since TeamCity 2017.2 this build feature provides the following options:
- the ability to clean-up the images
- automatic login to an authenticated registry before the build and logout of it after the build
These options require a configured connection to a docker registry.
Clean-up of images
If you have a build configuration which publishes images, you need to remove them at some point. You can select the corresponding option and instruct TeamCity to remove the images published by a certain build when the build itself is cleaned up. It works as follows: when an image is published, TeamCity stores the information about the registry of the images published by the build. When the server clean-up is run and it deletes the build, all the configured connections are searched for the address of this registry and the images published by the build are cleaned up using the credentials specified in the connection found.
Automatic Login to/Logout of Docker Registry
If you need to log in to a registry requiring authentication before a build, select the corresponding option and a connection to Docker configured in the project settings. Automatic logout will be performed after the build finishes.
Docker Connection for a Project
The Project Settings | Connections page allows you to configure a connection to docker.io (default) or a private Docker registry. More than one connection can be added to the project. The connection will be available in all the subprojects and build configurations of the current project.
Registry Address Format
By default, https://docker.io is used.
To connect to a registry, use the following format:
If the protocol is not specified, the connection over
https is used by default.
Connecting to Private Cloud Registry
- Since TeamCity 2017.2.3, it is possible to get authenticated with an Azure container registry storing Docker images using Service principal (the principal ID and password are used as connection credentials) or Admin account.
Connecting to Insecure Registry
To connect to an insecure registry:
- Configure all TeamCity agents where Docker is installed to work with insecure repositories as stated Docker documentation. This is sufficient to allow the connection to the private registry over http.
- To connect to an insecure registry over https with a self-signed certificate, in addition to the step above, import the self-signed certificate to the JVM of the TeamCity server as described here. You can consult the Docker documentation on using self-signed certificates.
Docker Build Runner
The runner allows building Docker images as a separate build step. When creating TeamCity projects/ build configurations from a repository URL, the runner is offered as build step during auto-detection, provided a Dockerfile is present in the VCS repository.
Docker Build Parameters
Dockerfile source
Depending on the selected source, the settings below will vary. The available options include File, a URL or File content.
|Path to file
Available if File is selected as the source. Specify the path to the Docker file. The path should be relative to the checkout directory.
|Context folder
|Available if File is selected as the source. Specify the context for the docker build. If blank, the enclosing folder for Dockerfile will be used.
URL to file
|Available if URL is selected as the source. The URL can refer to three kinds of resources: Git repositories, pre-packaged tarball contexts, and plain text files. See Docker documentation for details.
|File Content:
|Available if the file content is selected as the source. You can enter the content of the Dockerfile into the field.
Provide a newline-separated list of image name:tag(s)
|Additional arguments for 'build' command
|Supply additional arguments to the docker build command. See Docker documentation for details.
Docker Compose Runner
The runner allows starting Docker Compose build services and shutting down those services at the end of the build.
A Docker Compose YAML file with a description of the services to be used during the build is required. The path to the docker-compose.yml file should be relative to the checkout directory.
The executed commands are
When using Docker Compose with images which support HEALTHCHECK, TeamCity will wait for the
healthy status of all containers, which support this parameter.
If the start of Docker Compose was successful, the TeamCity agent will register the TEAMCITY_DOCKER_NETWORK environment variable containing the name of the Docker Compose default network. This network will be passed transparently to the Docker Wrapper when used in some build runners.
Docker Wrapper
TeamCity provides the Docker Wrapper extension for Command Line, Maven, Ant, and Gradle runners. Each of the supported runners has the dedicated Docker settings section.
Docker Settings
In this section, you can specify a Docker image which will be used to run the build step.
Technically, the command of the build runner is wrapped in a shell script, and this script is executed inside a Docker container with the
docker run command. All the details about the started process, text of the script etc. are written into the build log (the Verbose mode enables viewing them).
The checkout directory and most build agent directories are mapped inside the Docker process, and TeamCity passes most environment variables from the build agent into the docker process.
After the build step with the Docker wrapper, a build agent will run the
chown command to restore access of the buildAgent user to the checkout directory. This mitigates a possible problem when the files from a Docker container are created with the 'root' ownership and cannot be removed by the build agent later.
If the process environment contains the
TEAMCITY_DOCKER_NETWORK variable, this network is passed to the started
docker run command with
--network switch.
It is possible to provide extra parameters for the
docker run command, for instance, provide an additional volume mapping.
Docker Disk Space Cleaner
When there is not enough disk space on the agent at the beginning of the build, the
docker system prune -a command will be run cleaning the local Docker Caches. The command is run only as the last resort if all other cleaners did not manage to free enough space. Docker Disk Space Cleaner is an extension to the Free Disk Space build feature ensuring a certain amount of disk space for a build.

From where do I download this plugin?
Hello Luis,
The plugin has not been released to the public yet, we're doing the internal testing. Please vote for https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-38023 to get notified when it is available.
Hi, I am able to build docker image from VCS using Docker Build Runner and log-in to private Docker Registry with tne Docker Support Build Feature, but how do I push the image to the registry?
If I add Command Line build step with "docker push" command, the image is successfuly pushed, but Docker Support Build Feature still complains that "There was no docker push event for the following image" in the log.
Hi, Jakub Dorňák,
Thank you for your comments. Please submit an issue to our tracker attaching the build log, agent's log, and the events.jason file from hidden artifact located in the .teamcity/docker directory? The screenshot of the Docker Info tab will also be useful to us to investigate the issue.
hi Kirill Maximov User Jakub Dorňák
In my docker push step i've a issue . In the Custom script i would want to write the variable of (Name:tag(s)) but i cant find it . i Dont want to write all the name again .
Do you know where i can find a list with all variables ?
Thank in advance
Hello, you can create a custom build configuration parameter my_tags='tags/you_need' and then re-use this parameter in all places you need with %my_tags%. Would it solve your task?
Please note that the coming TeamCity 2018.1 will have a dedicated "Docker" runner with a Docker push command.
yeah that solve my problem thank you !


text: A British work that begins as a riveting psychological novel on the subject of marriage and violence, then sadly sinks into melodrama. Hatfield (author of several historical and crime novels under the pseudonym Daphne Wright, including The Distant Kingdom, 1987) begins with the wretched life of Michael Beechen, a struggling young actor, doting father to three small children, and husband of a shrewish and physically abusive wife. The narrative jumps from Michael to the personable Melissa Wraxall, a young entrepreneur with her own restored Georgian rowhouse in Bath and a fast-track, corporate accountant husband. Called for jury duty, she finds herself among the 12 chosen to decide Michael Beechen's fate: He stands accused of having stabbed his wife to death. The prosecution ridicules the strapping Michael's claim of spousal abuse and self- defense. Juxtaposed with the trial testimony are scenes from a marriage--not the one that ended in death, but the quickly deteriorating union of Melissa and her husband Martin. Newly fired, the caustic Martin strikes out at every turn, emotionally abusing Melissa and coming very close to raping her. As Michael continues his testimony, cataloging eight years' worth of broken bones and assaults with screwdrivers and steam irons, Melissa begins to lose her objectivity: The psychological similarities between the two marriages become more and more apparent. Added to Melissa's distress is the revelation of family secrets that throw light on her own potentially masochistic behavior. Luckily, fellow juror Adam Blake, a sensitive and sensible fellow, befriends Melissa- -though, as their friendship turns to love, the plot loses some of its taut focus. In the cathartic finale, the deadlocked jury finally comes to a verdict, Martin gets his comeuppance, and love, conquering all, prevails. Often too predictable, and burdened by one too many plot digressions, but, still, a generally compelling portrait of the psychology of love and violence.

With the Ross girls in Florida
When we were in Florida we gave the Ross' quite a surprise!!! Mrs.Ross' told the girls that they were going to go see someone, But they did not know who it was going to be. As they drove up to the condo Eliana saw our car and said that it was ours, Mrs.Ross said that it couldn't be our car. But we have a little smile face on our car when we had used car chalk and Eliana recognized it!!! So, even though it was not as much of a surprise as it was supposed to be, We had a blast!!!!
At the pool!!!
Something must have been funny!!!
Whipped cream is best straight into your mouth.

mcjCycleFilter was initially created to filter/smooth cyclical animation curves.
then were added the ability to
Version History
A Zip file containing the script(s) can be found at the bottom of this page, in the "attachments" section
Unzip this file in your Daz Contents folder, typically this means c:\program files\daz\studio\content.
Once installed you will find the script in your library, in Studio/scripts/mCasual
mcjCycleFilterDS2.ds is for Daz Studio version 1.8 and 2
mcjCycleFilter.dsa is for Daz Studio version 3 and 4
important note: mcjCycleFilter is a script, not a plugin.
Like all scripts it tends to do its work rather slowly.
So you will want to use it on short animations.
It was created for cycles, like walk cycles and dance cycles
Select a node in your scene, example, i selected Aiko3's right foreArm
Set the PlayRange (Timeline tab ) to a short span of time, ex: frames 0 to 30
Launch mcjCycleFilter by left-clicking on its icon in Studio/scripts/mCasual

AC DC Histogram - Bill Williams Acceleration Deceleration Oscillator
This study calculates and displays the Bill Williams Acceleration/Deceleration Oscillator. It is computed using four Simple Moving Averages with Lengths \(n_1\), \(n_2\), \(n_3\), and \(n_4\). All four moving averages use the same Input Data.
We begin by finding \(\Delta MA_t(X,n_2,n_1)\), the difference of the moving averages with lengths \(n_1\) and \(n_2\) at Index \(t\).\(\Delta MA_t(X,n_2,n_1) = MA_t(X,n_2) - MA_t(X,n_1)\)
The height of the AC/DC Histogram at Index \(t\) for the given Inputs is denoted as \(ACDC_t(X,n_1,n_2,n_3,n_4)\). We compute this for \(t \geq \max\{n_1,n_2\} + n_3 + n_4\) as follows.\(ACDC_t(X,n_1,n_2,n_3,n_4) = MA_t((\Delta MA(X,n_2,n_1) - MA(\Delta MA(X,n_2,n_1),n_4)),n_3)\)
In the above formula, \(\Delta MA(X,n_2,n_1)\) is a random variable corresponding to \(\Delta MA_t(X,n_2,n_1)\).
The spreadsheet below contains the formulas for this study in Spreadsheet format. Save this Spreadsheet to the Data Files Folder.

A borrower applies for a loan.
A borrower applies for a loan
Kiva loans are facilitated through two models, partner and direct, that
enable us to reach the greatest number of people around the world.For partner loans,
borrowers apply to a local Field Partner, which manages the loan on the ground.
For direct loans, borrowers apply through the Kiva website.
The loan goes through the underwriting and approval process.
The loan goes through the underwriting and approval process
Partner loans are facilitated by local nonprofits or lending institutions, which approve the
borrower's loan request. Kiva does due diligence and ongoing monitoring for each of these
Field Partners.Direct loans are approved through "social underwriting", where trustworthiness
is determined by friends & family lending a portion of the loan request, or by a Kiva approved
Trustee vouching for the borrower.
Loan disbursal period
Disbursal refers to when the borrower can access the money— the timing of this can vary.
For most Field Partner loans, the money is pre-disbursed, so the borrower can access
the funds right away. For direct loans, the money is disbursed only after the loan has
been fully crowdfunded on the Kiva website.
The loan is posted to Kiva for lenders to support.
The loan is posted to Kiva for lenders to support
Depending on the type of loan, a Field Partner or borrower uploads the loan details into
the system. Our worldwide network of volunteers then helps to edit and translate loans
before they go live on the website for lenders to crowdfund.
Fundraising period:
Lenders crowdfund the loan in increments of $25 or more.
Fundraising complete!
Borrower repays the loan.
Borrower repays the loan
Lenders receive repayments over time, based on the given repayment schedule and the borrower's
ability to repay. The repayments go into the lenders' Kiva accounts.
Lenders use repayments to fund new loans, donate or withdraw the money.

Belkin AC1200 Review
The Belkin AC1200 comes with all the features of an N600 router. Formerly, the 802.11ac routers were only introduced as N900 routers that would support the 802.11ac standard on their 5Ghz band. The Belkin AC1200 is the first 802.11ac-capable router that only supports dual-stream setup (N600) of the Wireless-N standard. Other than these differences in specs, the Belkin AC1200 resembles the N900 router of the company in terms of features and design.

A rather amusing meme I've noted a lot lately is the so called 'War on Police' the MSM has been proclaiming for the past few months. Dig:
"A spate of shooting attacks on law enforcement officers has authorities concerned about a war on cops...
"The 2010 toll ended a two-year drop in fatalities and spiked 43 percent over the 117 killed in 2009, Groeninger said.
"Law enforcement advocates worry that cuts in police budgets could exacerbate the danger...
"He cited the example of Jared Loughner, accused of killing six and wounding 13, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, on Jan. 8 in Tucson, Ariz. 'People with this mentality feel the need to eliminate those in position of authority,' he said.
"Roberts said the recent shootings are reminders that officers must constantly stay on alert."
One of my regulars posted a fascinating take on the Loughner 'shooting' and its real agenda in the comment section of this post for those interested.
Anyway, over the past few days I've encountered several articles that should dispel that notion that law enforcement is threatened by the general population. Exhibit one: An especially brutal shooting on an unarmed man by Miami police:
"A West Palm Beach couple who filmed Monday morning's deadly officer-involved shooting on South Beach has accused officers of intimidation, destroying evidence and twisting the facts in the chaos surrounding the Memorial Day shootings – a charge that police officials say they know nothing about...
"On Thursday, The Miami Herald spoke to the couple that saw the end of the 4 a.m. police chase on Collins Avenue, then watched and filmed from just a few feet away as a dozen officers fired their guns repeatedly into Raymond Herisse's blue Hyundai. They say the only reason they were able to show the video to a reporter is because they hid a memory card after police allegedly pointed guns at their heads, threw them to the ground and smashed the cell phone that took the video."
I implore my readers to click on the above link watch the three minute video so they can witness first hand the direction we're heading in.
Now, if you're not getting that dystopian vibe yet, consider this gem out of Tennessee:
"A mobile home in Tennessee was left a smoking ruin last month after it was attacked by a heavily armed police robot firing advanced triple-warhead gas grenades.
"Despite the uncompromising tactics employed by the no-nonsense tin cop, and the fact that satellite and heat-sensing technology had apparently confirmed that the residence housed a dangerous fugitive tooled up with a deadly arsenal of weaponry, feds and local lawmen who combined to launch the assault were left egg-faced following the inferno. The ashy wreckage left behind following the robocop's orgy of mechanical destruction contained no trace of their quarry, who had plainly escaped during the mayhem."
If only the police of Miami had their own 'attack robot' then perhaps the horrible incident referenced above could have been avoided... Though in Florida 'attack robots' would probably be issued live rounds instead 'advanced triple-warhead gas grenades.' Dear reader, can you say ED-209? I know you can...
If anymore evidence is needed that the 'future' is now, consider the latest advances by the boys at DHS:
"Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST), a US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) programme designed to spot people who are intending to commit a terrorist act, has in the past few months completed its first round of field tests at an undisclosed location in the northeast, Nature has learned.
"Like a lie detector, FAST measures a variety of physiological indicators, ranging from heart rate to the steadiness of a person's gaze, to judge a subject's state of mind. But there are major differences from the polygraph. FAST relies on non-contact sensors, so it can measure indicators as someone walks through a corridor at an airport, and it does not depend on active questioning of the subject.
"The tactic has drawn comparisons with the science-fiction concept of 'pre-crime', popularized by the film Minority Report, in which security services can detect someone's intention to commit a crime. Unlike the system in the film, FAST does not rely on a trio of human mutants who can see the future. But the programme has attracted copious criticism from researchers who question the science behind it (see Airport security: Intent to deceive?)."
The suppression of evidence of a brutal police shooting, 'attack robots', and now a 'pre-crime' division for the DHS... Whatever it takes to turn the tide on the 'War on Police', I suppose. The important thing is that we as Americans will be kept safe... so long as we don't have to actually deal with our law enforcement officials, or their robotic enforcers.
