Wisconsin Labor and Industry Review Commission --
Summary of Wisconsin Court Decision relating to Unemployment Insurance
Subject: Robert Alexander (Hrg. No. 97000485MD) v. Labor, Industry, Review Commission, Case 97-CV-1664 (Wis. Cir. Ct., Dane Co., August 14, 1997)
Digest Codes: PC 751.4
Plaintiff commenced an action for judicial review of the commission decision which denied him benefits, by filing and serving authenticated copies of a summons, a letter to the judge, and a copy of the commissions decision, as well as a number of other documents which did not bear authentication stamps from the clerk of court. The commission moved to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiff had not made his former employer, which was an adverse party, a defendant in the action.
Held: Complaint dismissed. Regardless of which of the three approaches to identifying an adverse party is used, the plaintiffs former employer was an adverse party which should have been made a defendant. Where an adverse party is not made a defendant, the court lacks competency to proceed and must dismiss the action. The fact that the former employer was mentioned in some of the documents filed is irrelevant because the references, all of which are in documents which predate the commencement of the action, do not make the former employer a defendant. The commission had no duty to inform the plaintiff of the legal inadequacy of the documents when it received them from him. Its only obligation was to bring its objections to the court, which it did. Plaintiff may not now correct the deficiency in the complaint by amendment because the time to commence the action has expired. Plaintiffs pro se status does not provide any basis for ignoring the defects in the attempt to commence the action.
Please note that this is a summary prepared by staff of the commission, not a verbatim reproduction of the court decision.

I have always loved Befunge for three reasons. The most important one is that code in Befunge lives in a n-dimension space, whereas all other languages, as far as I know, are only one-dimensional. It's a modular storytelling programming language! Code has a topology, and unique patterns emerge that couldn't exist with any other language.
The second reason is that it's based on a stack. It means that everything happens with a stack of values, and computations are eventually stack manipulations. For instance, the add instruction pops two values off the stack, and pushes back the sum. Most code written today falls in the C-family, that doesn't compute that way, so it's really refreshing. Lua uses a similar, although simpler stack, and it has been an inspiration source for Webfunge.
The last reason I love Befunge is that people don't understand someone could love it. Eventually I fell in love when I read this code:
12481> #+?\# _.@which is a 1..16 random number generator. If ever you try to make sense of this, beware! It's a trap!
Webfunge isn't compliant with the specs of Befunge. For one, some instructions are missing from Befunge, for instance replace in stack (which pops an index off the stack, then pops a value, then sets the stack at index to this value) doesn't exist in Befunge, whereas it exists in Lua. Moreover, shader code heavily relies on number and vector operations, so I added some convenient instructions to deal with them. Obviously I hadn't planned these changes right from the start, I started the project by doing a simple interpreter. And at the end, it can do all kind of shader stuff, like raytracing.
Once the Proof Of Concept was validated, it had been optimized a lot. The main tips are:
- don't use an Array because they are type agnostic and it's slow, use all sort of UInt8Array and Float32Array with an index pointing to the last element of the array
- avoid allocations (i.e. garbage collections)
- use Web Workers to distribute the load
I even started a static compiler, but it would take me too much time to finish it. For now it can convert
The basic idea is to build an AST and generate JS code when the IP path is known, and to bail out to the original interpreter otherwise. Some ideas:
0y2y/ 1y3y/ 4y @to
function getColor(x, y, offset) { output[offset ] = (x/width); output[offset + 1] = (y/height); output[offset + 2] = time; output[offset + 3] = 256; }which uses the original interpreter's variables.
The basic idea is to build an AST and generate JS code when the IP path is known, and to bail out to the original interpreter otherwise. Some ideas:
- A path is defined after the IP's delta is set, in particular using >, v, >, and ^. Jumps to subroutines also define paths. There is also a path at (0, 0) toward east, as it's the beginning of the program.
- Each path is executed inside a case of a switch block. If the path ends with a change to the IP's delta, then loop on the switch again, otherwise bail out to the interpreter.
- Stack values have type constant or expression. Constants are useful for reducing code complexity. In the code above, the y instruction popped the constant value 0, thus acceded stack[0] which contains the expression value x, so the result of 0y is x.
- If it's impossible to bail out, remove the interpreter part. It would even be able to compile into GLSL, but then, none of the unique features of Webfunge would have been used, so there's no point doing it.

Investment Discipline
Protactical™ Investing
Participating in market advances while protecting the hard-earned assets of our clients during prolonged market declines is the foundation of the Fortunatus Protactical™ investment process. Fortunatus combines proactive tools designed to allow advisors to take an active role in the management of their clients' portfolios with tactical asset management that has the flexibility to adjust to ever-changing market conditions.
Downside Protection
The importance of downside protection is illustrated in the chart. The green portion of the chart shows the percentage gain needed to fully recover after each percentage decline. As losses mount, the return required to get back to even grows exponentially.
Large investment declines, especially poorly timed ones, can result in either a lower quality of life or taking on too much risk in order to make up for the shortfall. Neither one is an acceptable solution.
How Fortunatus Provides Downside Protection
Trend Analysis: For each market segment that our strategies participate in, we track the investment environment daily. We analyze the trend of each market segment to determine whether it is in a favorable or unfavorable investment environment. Our exposure to unfavorable market environments is either reduced below the target allocations for a model or eliminated altogether. By avoiding downtrending markets, we can provide some protection to our clients' accounts, preserving the resources needed to capitalize when markets return to a positive trend.
Relative Strength Research: Relative strength, or momentum, research is used to further refine our allocations. Research shows that outperforming asset classes tend to continue to do so, and vice versa. We take advantage of this phenomenon by objectively identifying market strength and investing in the best performing segments.
Systematic & Objective Process
We believe having a systematic and objective investment process is the best way to reduce the emotion and guess-work that plagues many investors, including professionals. These behavioral mistakes can result in a large gap between the actual investment results of your clients and their investment goals. Our trend and relative strength research provides us with clear, specific, and timely guidance on each market segment that we track. With this confidence, we can act decisively and avoid many of the substantial investment mistakes that result in clients not reaching their goals.

Tinnitus is a frequent disorder and there is yet no reliable treatment for it. Many different treatment options have been investigated but most trials provided inconclusive results with some patients responding and many others without any benefit. These results suggest that there exist different forms of tinnitus which differ in their pathophysiology and their response to specific treatments. A challenge for tinnitus treatment and tinnitus research is therefore the identification of the most promising therapy for the individual patient. One approach to address this challenge is the systematic assessment of tinnitus patients in many clinical centers with standardized instruments. With the ESIT project a large team works together in order to create large standardized database for tinnitus and identify the most promising treatment option for the individual.

The first official image from the Annihilation movie has finally arrived, and it's unsurprisingly a little creepy. We've been anticipating this one for quite some time now—it marks Ex Machina writer/director Alex Garland's follow-up to that incredible sci-fi film, and it's an adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer's terrifying eco-horror novel of the same name, which itself is the first in a trilogy of books. Some behind-the-scenes snaps surfaced on Instagram last summer (and we may or may not have visited the set ourselves), but now the first official image has been unveiled for all to see.
The story of Annihilation follows the expedition of four women who are sent into the mysterious "Area X", a portion of land in the United States that has been secretly quarantined due to abnormal activity. They are the twelfth expedition sent into Area X on behalf of the mysterious Southern Reach organization. The second expedition ended in mass suicide, the third in a hail of gunfire as the members turned on one another, and the eleventh expedition returned as shells of their former selves, all dying of cancer shortly after coming back.
Natalie Portman leads the cast as the scientist, who in the film is named Lena (in the book the characters have no names). Here we see her looking at a strange alligator in Area X, which is the group's first tangible encounter with something odd—Garland says the alligator "has physical elements to it that should not belong on an alligator."
Speaking to EW, which debuted the image, Garland says he wanted to maintain the beauty of VanderMeer's book, even when the story gets incredibly grim and dark. But while Annihilation kicks off a trilogy, he says he approached this very much as a standalone movie:
"I did once work on a film called Dredd, which I imagined to be the first part of a trilogy," says Garland. "But it's not something I like doing. I'd rather work on a story that I felt was self-contained rather than one that sort of had a 'dot-dot-dot' at the end. I think that provokes a sort of instant, understandable, cynicism. We sense the money grab and I feel that pollutes the story. So, right from the get-go, I did not think of this as being part of a trilogy; I thought of it as being just a single, self-contained movie. If other people wanted to do that, that would be fine. That's none of my business. But from my point of view, it's just one."

How Big Data Has Changed the Financial Sector
"The amount of data to store and analyze in the financial world is overwhelming. To face this challenge, there is a growing demand for solutions delivering better performance, scalability and convenience. Because QuasarDB's database technology is optimized both for mass and speed, our financial customers can increase the depth of their analyses – thus their accuracies – without compromising on speed." said Quasardb CEO and founder Edouard Alligand.
"I'm really happy to have Reza Malekzadeh from Partech Ventures joining us, as we will greatly benefit from his expertise in product marketing. In addition to the launch of 'Prisma Compliance' a QuasarDB-powered product offered by Orolia to address the MiFID II data reporting regulation, I believe we are in a great position to penetrate the US market."
This seed round builds on an exceptional year for QuasarDB, with major Wall Street firms beta-testing the QuasarDB time series database and giving extremely positive feedback about its performance.
Quantitative analysts said that QuasarDB uniquely solves a lot of difficult performance and scalability problems, enabling them to focus on market analysis and strategies.
"Now that Big Data is past the hype curve, real solutions are emerging," said Reza Malekzadeh, General Partner at Partech Ventures. "QuasarDB is solving today's pressing problems in market finance and we believe their technology and expertise will also be key for the Industrial IoT".

These are THE BOMB! I and my guests couldn't stop eating them. I did slice and toast (on both sides) the french baguette. The only other change I made was to substitute walnuts for the pine nuts...
I only had shredded mozzarella cheese and this turned out great! It was a perfect 'light dinner' with a glass of wine!

The world's most powerful laser, created to help keep tabs on the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile while also studying the heavens, has been unveiled.
The super laser, known officially as the National Ignition Facility, was unveiled Friday at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory about 50 miles east of San Francisco.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., were among thousands of people in attendance at the ceremony.
The NIF, which is the size of a football field, consists of 192 separate laser beams, each traveling 1,000 feet in one-thousandth of a second to converge simultaneously on a target the size of a pencil eraser.
Federal officials said they planned to use it on a multifaceted assignment that would include ensuring aging nuclear weapons are functioning properly without resorting to underground testing.
Other uses will include the study of astrophysics and experiments in developing green energy programs.
Beginning next year, scientists also will use the laser for experiments aimed at creating controlled fusion reactions similar to those found in the sun.
"More energy will be produced by this ignition process than the amount of laser energy required to start it. This is the long-sought goal of energy gain that has been the goal of fusion researchers for more than half a century," said NIF director Edward Moses.
The laser will be used in astrophysics, allowing scientists to mimic conditions inside planets and new solar systems, something the lab's officials said would allow for conducting experiments that could never be undertaken on Earth before.

3 Steps to Speaking Progression
Some loved it. I wasn't a big fan...
The homework. The information that I regurgitated then forgot. The girls that said "No, I'll pass on a date."
I don't have a lot of great memories from my days in school. However, school contains many lessons for speakers.
Here are 5.
Lesson #1 – Test Yourself
The litmus test for knowledge retention in school is the Test. The marks that you received from testing showed your level of learning. Tests were forced upon us growing up. Then you graduated... and the testing stopped. In life, it's important to give yourself new tests. You need new ways to challenge yourself because if you don't, there is no way to know if you're growing. And if you're not growing, you're dying.
Strategy for Speakers
As a speaker, when is the last time that you tested yourself? Are you comfortable with your current material? Have you tried new stories? New audiences? Are you too entrenched in your old content to challenge yourself with something new? Remember, you don't know what you can't do, so try something new.
Lesson #2 – Lean into Your Strengths
In school, I had mandatory courses. Electives were the ones I chose to take – and also the ones that I did better in. The reason that I did well in those courses is because I had a natural aptitude for them. We always do better when we have a natural interest and talent in what we decide to do.
Strategy for Speakers
In what areas are you strong in speaking? Is content creation your forte? Delivery skills? Humor? Putting them all together is key to becoming a well-rounded world class speaker. However, knowing which areas that you struggle with will tell you what books, courses and coaching you need most. Learn from where you're weak, but lean into your strengths in speaking. There are speakers that I know who have a natural comedic timing, and they, of course, have a lot of comedy contained in their speeches. I know speakers that are strong at using their movement and body extensively when they speak, and those who are just as effective using smaller gestures. The key is to recognize who you are and what you are good at, and to maximize those areas.
Lesson #3 – Ask for Help
You can't see the picture, when you're in the frame. In school, the best marks I received came only after I asked for help. I tried hiding my inadequacy for awhile, but the report card is the great truth teller. When I was humble enough to ask for help and tutoring in my weaker subjects (think most of them!), I improved dramatically.
Strategy for Speakers
Are you sitting on your mountain peak? The worst sin for the speaker is thinking that they are a good enough speaker. Sure you may get the applause and compliments, but are you maximally effective? Is your audience really taking action on what you say, or are they just patting you on the back? Are you the best speaker you can be, or is there room for you to grow? If there is room, then why not be the absolute best that you can be for the people that you serve? Remember, you don't ask for help because you're weak. You ask for help to remain strong. Ask for help, get a coach to look at your blind spots. You can't see the picture when you're in the frame.
Lesson #4 – Failure must be Embraced, then be Forgotten
I had a problem in school. The grades I got one year in a subject, fooled me into permanently believing my overall ability in that area. I was not the best student. "A's" were foreign to me, "B's" were occasional. "C's" were my constant companion. However, my problem was in getting a single "C", but in believing that I was a "C Student". You've likely heard that "how you do anything is how you do everything". But do not ever believe that how you DID something will forever affect how you WILL DO everything.
Strategy for Speakers
What is the best way to get over a bad speech? Give another one as soon as possible. When you make a mistake or fail when you speak, ensure that you do one thing: Learn from it. Make notes on what you felt you did wrong. Embrace that experience as a learning process. And get back "in the game" as soon as you can. Learn from your mistakes, then forge on and speak again as soon as you can.
Lesson #5 – Do Your Homework
Ah – homework. I remember that I loved the days when I didn't get any. Yet it still serves as the best method by which to reinforce concepts. Consider it a "necessary evil" - the good news is that when you grow up, you get to choose what your homework consists of.
Strategy for Speakers
There are 2 areas that giving yourself homework will help you as a speaker: Before you speak, and at your venue. First, before you speak, become knowledgeable in your topic. Motivational speaker Les Brown says "Many people have a 'Yes, I can!' attitude, but a 'No, I can't aptitude!" How true. Staying up to date in your niche speaking topic is vital, especially in these times when a high school student can master your topic after a couple of days on the internet. In addition, as a speaker, studying the art of speaking itself will keep you ahead of the game. Just because you are being paid to speak, doesn't mean you have hit your capability ceiling. You can make more of an impact - not to mention more money – when you get better at your craft. Something as simple as reading one book or taking one course per month, alternating between your niche and the art of speaking, will put you well ahead of the apathetic majority.
Progress through these "high school speaking tips" to become a speaker in high demand.

"Look at the stars….look how they shine for you…"
You're familiar with the song right? It's one of the big hits from major British band Coldplay. But were the stars really what front man Chris Martin was looking at?
Recorded in March 2000, The song was released as the lead single of the band's debut album 'Parachutes' which went on to become a huge success. The story goes like this; taking a break from recording and heading out of the studio Wales, the lights and stars were credited by the song's co-producer Ken Nelson as being "Just Amazing" that night. Chris Martin, being inspired by the sight came up with the main melody of the song in his head. The song originally had a slow start and as said by the members of the band, sounded like a Neil Young tune. Once the band had the main tune and melody down, Martin couldn't work out any suitable lyrics. Looking around the studio, he spotted a Yellow Pages phonebook and later named the song "Yellow" as a reference to the pages.

Columbus officer under scrutiny has received extra police protection; owns properties tied to crimes
COLUMBUS – Since being relieved of his duties amid an FBI probe and police investigation – Columbus Police Officer Andrew Mitchell has received additional police protection on several occasions – including two occasions for concerns about protests, 10 Investigates has learned.
Mitchell, a 30-year veteran of force, has been accused of fatally shooting Donna Castleberry during an alleged prostitution sting on August 23. Authorities have said that Mitchell, a vice officer, was attacked during the reported sting by Castleberry who drew a knife.
That officer-involved shooting is still under investigation.
At the time of the fatal shooting, Mitchell was already the focus of a separate criminal investigation by his own department, police said.
The department received a citizen complaint on August 8, but had not taken disciplinary action or charged Mitchell with any offense.
That's prompted both questions, concerns and protests from Castleberry's family.
"I want answers, what happened," Castleberry's mother, Michelle Dalton said during a protest outside Columbus police headquarters earlier this week.
On a recent Saturday in October, Mitchell was spotted and confronted by members of Castleberry's family at a southside bar, according to police reports, interviews and social media accounts.
It marked the second time multiple police units have responded for Mitchell in the past two months amid concerns over his safety.
Documents from both the Delaware County Sheriff's Department and the Columbus Division of Police show that officers have been dispatched at least seven times for house checks, extra patrols or responding to concerns about protests at his home or elsewhere.
The first instance of a call for a large police response happened on August 31 when Mitchell requested help from the Delaware County Sheriff's Department out of concerns there was a "group of people heading to this house to rally" referring to his Delaware County home.
No one showed.
Body camera footage reviewed by 10 Investigates shows more than a dozen officers responding to the scene with lights and sirens on October 13 to the Dawghouse bar, where Mitchell can be seen sitting at a table with two other individuals.
Friends and relatives of Castleberry are questioned by officers outside, the video shows.
"All we said is 'Justice for Donna,'" one woman tells an officer.
The officer replies: "That's the only reason we are all here is because that right now... he's still. He's still a cop. If someone says a cop is being threatened…"
Mitchell is later escorted to his car and tells an officer: "I kinda figured I should stay off the south end cause that's where the girl is from."
The body camera footage shows one officer tell Mitchell he is still eligible to apply for his concealed carry permit.
Officer Mitchell starts to say something else but the body camera footage stops.
The next sequential clip from that officer's body camera that was provided to 10 Investigates through an open records request shows the officer walking away from Mitchell's vehicle and he starts talking to another officer.
A CPD spokeswoman said officer's have discretion to turn off their body cameras when the call for service is over. But that seems contrary to what the department's body camera policy states.
In addition to police protection, a 10 Investigates review of police reports shows that police have responded to rental properties owned by Mitchell more than 500 times in the past five years for criminal complaints ranging from homicides to sex crimes, child endangerment and at least one vice complaint.
One police report reviewed by 10 Investigates from early September of 2018 shows a male suspect with a gun was seeing running from an apartment that the report alleges shows was occupied by Andrew Mitchell.
The woman had only a vague description of the person's clothing and said he ran southbound away from the apartment.
It is against this backdrop of additional police protections and history of crime runs that the both Columbus Police and the FBI continue to investigate Mitchell, whose home was raided earlier this month.
An FBI spokesman told 10 Investigates Thursday that its investigation is "still ongoing."
10 Investigates attempted to talk to Mitchell about the allegations against him last week.
He told 10 Investigates: "I can't talk to you, I'm sorry… My attorney said don't talk to anybody."
Mitchell declined to identify his attorney.

The Winter Gardens at Blackpool once again played host to the annual Provincial Grand Lodge meeting and once more demonstrated that it is an excellent venue in which to stage this visually impressive event. The vast stage of the Opera House was transformed into the 'lodge room' with furnishings kindly loaned from Blackpool Masonic Hall. Surmounting the stage was the giant banner promoting the MCF 2021 Festival which had made its inaugural debut at last year's meeting.
This year's event was hosted by the Leyland Group and almost 1,200 registrations ensured that the stewards had plenty to keep them busy. The West Lancashire Freemasons' Charity once again generously sponsored the provision of PSA tests for anyone who wished to avail themselves of the opportunity and there was a steady stream of 'customers' from early morning onwards at their location in the main atrium.
The afternoon's proceedings began with the entry procession of the Provincial Grand Master Tony Harrison, accompanied by his deputy, assistants and the whole Provincial team, into the auditorium and up onto the stage. With the stage so grandly 'set', once the lodge was opened, the first item of business was to honour departed merit by remembering those who had sadly passed on since the last meeting.
Tony then turned to the glittering array of distinguished visitors who formed an impressive sight on his left and extended a very warm welcome to no less than six visiting PrGM's and officers from other Provinces as widely spread geographically as Northumberland in the north to Cornwall in the south. Also attending were leaders of several other Masonic Orders. All were given a very loud and enthusiastic welcome by the audience in true West Lancashire fashion.
Following the reappointment of Philip Gunning as Deputy Provincial Grand Master, Tony then said: "Today, three of my APrGM's retire from office. I refer to Tony Bent, Harry Cox and Robert Wright, who between them have given 55 years of loyal service in high office. I thank all three of you personally and on behalf of the Province and wish you all a, long, happy and healthy retirement." He then reappointed and thanked the remaining APrGM's, namely David Winder, Derek Parkinson, David Grainger, Kevin Poynton, Stewart Seddon and David Walmsley.
The PrGDC was then asked to form a deputation and place the three candidates for investment as the succeeding APrGM's before Tony. In due manner, David Randerson, David Ogden and Frank Umbers were formally obligated and invested as Assistant Provincial Grand Master's and saluted by the assembly.
An announcement was then made, detailing all of those West Lancashire Masons who had recently received appointment or promotion in grand rank and full details of these can be viewed by following this link.
Details were then provided of the changes in leadership within the Provincial groups' system with Tony announcing the retirements and new appointments. He asked everyone to show their appreciation for the service that those retiring had given to the Province and went on to welcome the new appointees into their important and demanding roles. Full details of theses retirements and appointments can be found here.
Several essential items of business then followed, culminating with the welcome and very well received news that the dues for the present year would not be increased. There then followed a collection for the MCF 2021 Festival which raised a very impressive total of £5,334. It was later announced that the Mark Masons of West Lancashire had made a truly outstanding and generous donation to the Festival of £5,000. Tony expressed very grateful thanks to the PrGM of the Mark Degree Keith Beardmore who was present at the meeting.
Appointments to acting rank were then carried out, led by the investiture of John Karran and Barry Dickinson as Provincial Senior Warden and Provincial Junior Warden respectively. In total, 357 appointments and promotions were made with, as is now normal practise, the PrGM taking a break in the middle of this item of business in order to deliver his annual address.
The topics within Tony's address were both wide ranging and informative with a number of current initiatives and topics expanded upon. In his closing remarks he stressed how much pleasure he derived from seeing so many brethren joining him at the meeting and sincerely thanked them for their wonderful support. The full text of his address can be viewed via this link.
Prior to closure of the meeting, it was announced that the next meeting would be held at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool on the earlier date of Wednesday 03 April 2019.
The celebrants banquet this year was held in the Spanish Suite due to the late, unavailability of the Empress Ballroom. This smaller venue presented some logistical problems with the more generous description from some diners ranging from 'snug' to 'cosy'. The convivial atmosphere and celebratory atmosphere were however in no way diminished and a very enjoyable evening ensued.
All the traditions were observed, including wine service by the stewards of Quingenti Lodge No 8516, who were once again honoured by the PrGM taking wine with them. The speeches continued and were brought to a conclusion by the newly appointed Provincial Senior Warden responding to the 'toast to the celebrants'.
For many it had been a long and tiring day but undoubtedly, they returned home to their loved ones and well- earned rest with a more, sprightly spring in their Masonic step!

To me and it may be a surprise by I had a lot of time for Harold Wilson because he told the US to get stuffed when they wanted the UK to join the Vietnam war. I think Kate Hoey is another honest MP I see in the last few days several Tory MPs getting payoffs from 'green companies' while on committees making green policies which means we pay more for something else.The truth is they care nothing for the people who elect them.ReplyDeleteReplies
I used to think that ref. Harold Wilson, but then I wondered if he was simply carrying out the instructions of his masters in the Kremlin. There is more to the Hollis affair than has been made public and I suspect that dear old Harold may not come up smelling of roses when the details finally dribble out.
That said, it was a good thing that we stayed out of Vietnam at the time. Thank heaven that the Blair creature wasn't around at the time ... he would have been straight up the president's arse, pausing only to lightly grease his earholes beforehand.
pausing only to lightly grease his earholes beforehand.Delete
I doubt he even took time to do that given the shape of his ears ( pointing forwards).

Modular, Safe & Compliant Rooftop Walking Surface
The FlexWalk with Guardrail system from Flexible Lifeline Systems is a fall protection solution consisting of walkway and guardrail which can be installed quickly and easily on a wide variety of roofs.
It is a safe, compliant and modular approach to guardrail protection and eliminates the fall hazard typically present when workers are exposed to an unprotected edge while accessing or egressing a roof top.
Optimized Rooftop Safety for Workers
A walkway with guardrail is the most preferred fall protection system as dictated in the hierarchy of control measures; it provides the highest level of collective fall prevention for roof access and work at height.
FlexWalk walkways provide a defined and secure route across the roof keeping users safe from the associated hazards when working at height without the need to fall arrest personal protection equipment (PPE) or harnesses.
FlexWalk walkways can be combined with our range of platforms, guardrail and steps to form a complete safe access solution.
How FlexWalk with Guardrail Works
When it comes to the guardrail installation, our solution is equally suited to both retrofit on existing installed FlexWalk or as a new build.
The safety guardrail is built from 48.3mm tube with galvanized corrosion resistant fittings and safety handrails and is a none-penetrative solution that can be installed on one or both sides of FlexWalk very easily. Aluminium guardrail is also available using modular fittings.
FlexWalk with Guardrail systems feature modular fittings which makes for simple and fast on-site installation.
FlexWalk with guardrail is suited to a variety of different roof surfaces, slopes, steps, traverses and pitches up to 35°.
- Standing Seam
- Composite panels
- Metal roofing
We will survey and specify to suit your site requirements guaranteeing peace of mind and a perfect installation.
Features & Benefits
- FlexWalk Walkway with guardrail offers a complete safety and cost-effective, non-corrosive protection of the highest order whilst maintaining simple and quick installs.
- Can be used in conjunction with our range of steps, platforms and step-overs when negotiating changes in level
- OSHA compliant and meets ANSI standards
- Designed for use on all major roofing systems and up to 35° roof pitch
- Slip resistant
Unmatched Versatility

Life Rights – a peace through people initiative with respect for all of life.
It's time to make a significant difference in the world by helping people live the principle of respecting the right of all life to live in freedom and in peace.
It is time to live our lives respecting the diversity of our world.
Supporting human rights, civil rights, equal rights, gay rights, religious rights, animal rights, children's rights, elder rights and the ecological rights of this planet under one universal umbrella is the focus of the Life Rights movement.
Everyone has freedom of thought. Everyone has the right to express that thought as their belief and value system as long as that expression does not infringe upon the right of another to live their life in freedom and peace.
Once we understand the importance of the words, "the right of all to live the life of their intention in freedom and peace" and begin being an example of what it means to live according to that principle, individuals will have a dramatic impact on the lives of others.
Peace will spread.
Respect for freedom becomes the norm around the globe. All have a natural respect for all life and the environment. This mindset, this knowing, is actually a natural part of our being.
Life Rights Mission: expand the knowing to all around the globe that all life is connected. With that knowing, allowing all life to live in freedom and peace is a natural extension of ourselves.

FM Transmitter HB01
Link to my review on Amazon:
***My Personal Review***
The thing I like best about this transmitter is that it is small. It has cords on both sides so you are not limited to a small area and it is easy and simple to install and use. And also easy to just take out and switch cars. I have an old iPod that I haven't been able to use in years because I could not afford to get something like this. And I have had some in the past that were not this brand and they stopped working pretty quickly so I gave up. But I like that this seems to be much sturdier and more high quality than the ones I was paying so much money for. All you have to do is plug the bottom part into the cigarette lighter in your car and plug the jack into the port on your tablet, phone, mp3 or mp4 player and switch it to a channel that works best without interference. Once you have that done your music will come through your car speakers clearly and you can adjust the volume on your radio just like you would with the regular radio or CD. It is small, handy and sleek and that is great because most of them are bulky and take up too much space. Grab it now on Amazon for just $17.99 :)

A Mah-Jong tournament
The upcoming saturday there will be held a Mah-Jong tournament
at the Mah-Jong club where my parents, my sister and myself
are playing. The club is called De Oostpoort, which means
The Eastern Gate. It is called that because the Oostpoort is an
important landmark in the city of Delft. My father will be
tournament leader and my mother, my sister and myself will
be doing the catering. We like to play Mah-Jong also, but not
so much tournaments, which means playing many hours a day.
And since noone else wants to do the catering ... we do it.
Participants will be coming from all over the country and that
means meeting a lot of people you only meet a few times a year.
What a great way to catch up !

My crafty family : mom knitted a cosy cosy ...
... from scrap yarn ! You really do not need a lot
of yarn to make something cute and that is exactly
what she did : knit this cute cosy. It is nice and
warm because she knitted it on needles that were
a size too small for the yarn, which makes the
fabric really thick and tight.

Wow! I am going to be unusually critical. Look how Amal in this photograph from the red carpet at the Golden Globes. She looks like a haughty film star (I see Joan Crawford) about to receive her academy award. Notice how her torso from the waist up is pulled up and away from George and her chin is jutted up and away from and she looks away from him. It looks like she is saying in her little thought bubble, "I still have my pride." Notice how her arms are held stiff and straight down at her sides with the hands cupping back onto herself in response to his arm around her waist. Her stiff postured retreat and chin up and out make it look like she is a proud prisoner held against her will, but gosh darn it she will stay to get her award for wife of George. George is tightlipped. His feet are pointed more towards her and he has his arm around her. He is trying. She is mad and wants attention. I give this couple a one on Life & Style's True Love Rating Scale.
The other photo George is making more effort to get close to her and reach his arm around her and bring his upper body and head close to her. She is resting her arm around him, but he is doing more of the giving. I like that she has her head tilted down close to him and has a nice relaxed open eyed smile and her torso towards him. This is a nice simple couple photo, I give this couple a four on Life & Style's True Love Rating Scale.

I recall that as I young child I loved to play in the dirt. Not just a kiddy sandbox, but real soil, mud, down on your hands & knees dirt. I'd make roads for toy cars and trucks, dig holes, make mud, create "castles", dig for worms. I disliked being indoors and was far happier being outside, preferably in the woods. I was always happy when I was doing something in the dirt.
I was raised in a family of five kids. Not all of us liked to play in the dirt. So I wonder if I was some how genetically programmed to be attracted to soil, thus to farming. Perhaps something physically in soil triggered my genetic switch at an early age. Who knows. Perhaps it was some particular micro organism.
To this day I like working with soil. I enjoy the feeling of good soil flowing through my fingers. I don't mind getting dirty. Walking barefoot through a freshly rototilled garden is a pleasure. Good moist soil even smells good, not just looks good to me.
I'm often approached by others who wish to return to a simpler life on a small farm. Or maybe if not farming, then at least a nice garden. One of the questions I pose to them is how do they relate to soil. Do they enjoy the feel, smell, a look of garden soil? Would they be willing to lay down on fresh tilled soil and take a nap in the sun? Would the thought be enjoyable? Would they enjoy taking off their shoes and socks to stand or walk in soil? When I think about it now, it would be impossible for me to be a farmer if I didn't like soil.
I currently oversee a small community garden. Some of the people who have come there decidedly don't like soil. They dislike getting their clothing getting soiled and try to avoid getting their hands dirty. Guess what. They seldom last more than one day. But on the other hand the garden has several workers who obviously have a connection with soil. Besides getting dirty, I've watched them working with the soil. Some of those people like to dig, some like getting down on their hands and knees to groom the soil surface and plant seedlings, others run their fingers along the surface and gently smooth it before sowing seeds. It's nice to watch others enjoy the soil. They have the hearts of growers.
If it turns out that we gardeners and farmers are infected with soil micro organisms, well in my opinion, it's a very nice infection to have!

- One speaker inadvertently stumbled on a great, subtle psychological trick: he used a font for most of his talk that is identical to the font (some Helvetica variant) used by the Nature publishing group for their titles and subtitles. That font makes everything seem important :-). He blew this aura of profundity it at the end, though, by switching to comic sans.
- The Chinese groups that have been charging on the iron pnictides must have enormous resources in terms of people and equipment - the rate at which they are cranking out material and data is remarkable. US materials growers seem very undersupported by comparison.

Speaking of which.... We are running a small workshop here at JHU in January. Topological insulators are one of the subjects. :)

Sue, yes, that did make me laugh. I don't really have much against comic sans, though I do think it's overused. I had a friend in grad school whose handwriting was exactly like it, though. Really. People used to think that her lecture note were typeset using a computer.
All's well that ends well, they say, but not so much in Science, methinks.
A visitor from China recently (and innocently) told me that during her PhD, she smoothed out all features in her data that she did not think should've been there.
I don't want to be judgmental here, but I have some reservations about Chinese science in general. Considering the enormous volume of work that is published, I wonder how much of that data is smoothed and unlikeable things ironed out.

When I first met Dave Bogan, he was in the process of building small greenhouses. Or, so I thought.
I was surprised at the number, size and
quality of the tropical bonsai in his collection. They would definitely require special
protection during the freezing winters in Indiana.
He had plenty of space in the yard to build greenhouses, which was a definite consideration. However, Dave chose to take advantage of a pretty much unused swimming pool!
Notice the snow melting from the warmth of this "pool house."
Dave told me: "The tropical bonsai trees seem to love it and thrive throughout the winter. The only downside was having to carry everything down the four steps into the greenhouse."
I had wondered, since he has quite a few large trees. I asked him about those steps. Dave responded that since the beginning he has reconsidered them.
Many time after setting up any greenhouse you realize you may have missed a few things.
"I installed a hoist system which runs on an overhead track.
Via this hoist system, I can lift a 2 x 4 platform cart, roll it in on the over head track and then lower it to the floor.
"I designed this cart to be at 32" tall which is the same height as my benches in the greenhouse - as well as those outside in the display area. With the cart at the same height as the benches, it's simply a task of sliding the bonsai off and onto the benches."
"Over the years, I have continually updated the greenhouse.
A few years ago, I installed a new 95% efficiency gas furnace.
Facilities now include: bin type area for soil removal, wash area for washing out root systems, over 16' of center work bench area. We also have an area for power carving, a new wire rack that holds 12' full rolls of wire, and a tool cabinet."
Today, Dave and Barbara Bogan have an overall fabulous bonsai nursery, that would be the envy of any bonsai grower! Take a look at the bonsai trees on the Bogan's bonsai site. The results are amazing.
See the small greenhouse page and see what others have created. No room for greenhouses? Another page that may be helpful is growing bonsai indoors.

Nestle pays $7.2 billion to sell coffee with Starbucks brand
Starbucks and Nestle announced they will form a global coffee alliance to accelerate and grow the global reach of Starbucks brands in Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) and Foodservice.
Nestle and Starbucks are joining forces to rejuvenate their coffee empires.
The Swiss maker of Nescafe will pay the Seattle-based chain $7.15 billion upfront in cash for the rights to sell Starbucks coffee products in supermarkets, restaurants and catering operations, the companies said Monday. Nestle will use the Starbucks brand in its Nespresso and Dolce Gusto capsule systems next year.
The alliance underlines Nestle's efforts to capture more upscale java drinkers in the U.S., where the maker of Nespresso and Nescafe has been outpaced by JAB Holding Co. The investment company of Europe's billionaire Reimann family has spent more than $30 billion building a coffee empire by acquiring assets such as Keurig Green Mountain and Peet's.
"The deal with Starbucks allows Nestle to keep JAB at a distance," Jean-Philippe Bertschy, an analyst at Bank Vontobel, wrote in a note. He added that the price may seem expensive, but the investment may pay off within three to four years. "It allows Nestle to gain scale in the U.S., a weak spot so far."
Nestle shares rose as much as 0.8 percent in early Zurich trading. The stock has dropped about 9 percent this year.
The deal is Nestle's first tie-up with a major rival in coffee. Nestle expects the deal to contribute positively to its earnings per share and organic growth targets from 2019. The business has annual sales of $2 billion, about 9 percent of Starbucks's total revenue. The coffee chain said it will use the proceeds to accelerate share buybacks, now expecting to return about $20 billion through repurchases and dividends through fiscal 2020.

Swiftly pinpoint relevant scans and files with customized automated translation – and polish them as fast using premium ABBYY post-editing services.
Easily harvest relevant data from huge volumes of ESI.
Poor metadata extraction and search capabilities, and the inability to identify duplicates and near-duplicates across e-mail threads and other documents lower culling efficiency and raise costs of further EDRM tasks.
ABBYY's unique search approach enables to easily unearth relevant and privileged information out of the pool of non-relevant data. It takes only to enter a single search query – and obtain the results covering all imaginable synonyms for it.

In September 2014 VOYPIC and Youth Advocate Programmes (YAP) Ireland launched an exciting new pilot project that will add real value to work with children and young people across the island of Ireland. If you work with children and young people and want to quality assure that work from their perspective, then this is the opportunity for you.
VOYPIC became a member of the scheme for the first time in 2010 and is currently the only organisation in Northern Ireland to hold that membership.
Investing in Children membership (IiC) is a simple assessment of what your organisation is doing to listen to children and young people who use your service. It identifies and highlights what changes have come about because of listening to them which leads to an external accreditation by IiC.
The Membership Scheme recognises and celebrates imaginative and inclusive practice. Membership is awarded to organisations that can demonstrate a commitment to dialogue with children and young people that leads to change.
The pilot
This joint project will promote the participation of children and young people as partners in the design and delivery of services. During the pilot we plan to support 20 organisations to achieve membership of the scheme.

Webinar Recap: A Successful Migration from Quality Center to qTest
In a QASymphony webinar last week, Brad Bellmore, QA team lead for ABC Supply, shared his tips for a successful migration from Micro Focus Quality Center to QASymphony's qTest. ABC Supply is the largest distributor of building supplies in the U.S., with more than 700 branches nationwide. In a traditional industry like construction, adopting modern development and testing processes has proven to be a significant competitive advantage for ABC Supply.
Watch the webinar: A Successful Migration from HPQC (Quality Center) to qTest
"Our industry is slow on technology, so it's easy for us to stay ahead," Bellmore said. "Our leadership has decided technology is not a cost center. It is a competitive advantage, and they help us out with that."
When ABC Supply acquired another construction materials distributor, the technology team was given one year to merge the IT architecture of both organizations behind a single firewall, including finance, data warehouse, ERP and other legacy systems. The team chose to create all new APIs and integrations, some of which connected to on-premises technology and some of which was housed in the cloud. "And all of this had to be tested," Bellmore says. "This was our opportunity to make some changes."
The decision to migrate arose out of a need to improve tester-developer collaboration and visibility. As part of the organization's transformation, the development team selected Jira as its new enterprise agile planning tool. Bellmore and his team quickly realized they needed a testing solution that could better accommodate testing workflows, with a strong Jira integration and a large repository to house all of the organization's test artifacts, something that proved to be more difficult to find than Bellmore anticipated. It was also important to find a tool that testers would want to use. Previously, testers were entering data in as many as four different systems for a single project, so it was critical to find a solution that would make it possible to centralize and organize testing efforts across projects and teams. After downloading a free trial of qTest, Bellmore realized the tool was intuitive enough that he'd be able to train his team on the tool himself.
After the team selected qTest, it was time to focus on the migration. Ensuring a smooth transition, not only of years' worth of historical data, but also of projects in process, can be a daunting process. A live poll during the webinar revealed attendees' greatest concerns:
- Worry over keeping existing data and historical records (46.7%)
- Concern over the level of training required (26.7%)
- Downtime between migration process and new tool adoption (20%)
- Existing system integrations (6.7%)
According to Bellmore, many of those concerns are valid. But based on his experience, they are not insurmountable.
The first roadblock Bellmore encountered was with the data transfer. ABC Supply's firewall rules prevented him from transferring the data into qTest the way he wanted. The migration happened to be taking place during Quality Jam, QASymphony's user conference, so he was able to resolve the issue in real time with migration experts at the event. Then, Bellmore realized that his security team would not allow a cloud instance of any software to write to an on-premises instance. Because the team had chosen an on-premises instance of Jira, he quickly switched to an on-premises instance of qTest to ensure a seamless integration that adhered to his organization's security rules.
"At that point we were able to integrate quite easily and everything got much better. We were doing everything we wanted, with one place to enter information in qTest. It was updating Jira… and it got us to where we really needed to be," Bellmore says. All in all, the team ended up migrating 15,000 test cases and 1,000 defects across four projects, with minimal downtime.
Now, anytime a story is created in Jira, it automatically becomes a requirement for the QA team in qTest. "We create our test cases and link them to that requirement, so that when we execute them, the result then displays in Jira, so they can see if the test has passed, failed or has not been run yet."
In the future, Bellmore plans to adopt qTest Explorer for exploratory testing and leverage qTest Launch to increase levels of test automation and centrally kick off and report on automated tests.

Baby dedications have become just that in many churches. This past Sunday we changed the way that we did dedications. Here are the reasons we did so:
1) To challenge parents to lead in their homes when it comes to matters of faith.
2) To remind the congregation that, as part of the Body of Christ, they have a responsibility to the child being dedicated and to the parents.
3) To provide parents a visual piece (as well as a meaningful moment in time) to serve as a reminder of this spiritual milestone in the life of their child.
Here's what we did......
Parents were expected to take a class. We met with parents for a one hour session and challenged them in the following areas:
1) Their own spiritual lives...you can't model what you don't have.
2) Their marriages (for those who were single, we challenged them to surround their child with Christian mentors). Again, you can't model what you don't have.
3) Defining NOW the type of person they want their baby to be 18 years from now. Now what they want them to DO but who they want them to BE.
Each family was asked to:
1) choose a life verse for their child (the life verse was read by the pastor as the family was introduced and a photo of baby was on the screen).
2) write a letter expressing THEIR COMMITMENT to raising their child in a Christian home. We asked parents to think of specific things they would commit themselves to.
3) provide pictures in digital format for us to use during the ceremony.
EXPERIENCE: Overall, the experience was so very positive. I thought it was so much more meaningful. One of the concerns some had was that if we were doing this only twice a year and with several families at once, it would become a "cattle call" sort of thing. FAR FROM IT! It was powerful and deeply personal to all who were a part. In fact, I had several say they wish they had had this for their babies.
Families were introduced (with the life verse parents had chosen: see description above.
- Families were asked to respond to a series of questions describing their intent.
- A video was shown with pictures and pieces from the commitment letter written by
parents. POWERFUL!
- A charge to the congregation was made asking specific questions of commitment on their part. Would they intentionally pray for and encourage these parents as their part in the Body of Christ? Not just the normal "will you , say I will" stuff.
- Pastor prayed over each baby and dedicated them.
- Faith Boxes were given: this was, perhaps my favorite part. Each family was given a faith box that will now house the hand written letter of commitment from parents. They will then add to the box over the years with each spiritual milestone that the child passes. These boxes were hand made by a man in our church and were BEAUTIFUL. W e had stamped "My Faith Box Ecc. 12:1" on the top of each one.
- Vases with pearls were also given: figuring the number of weeks the baby had at home until age 18, we placed pearls inside a vase to serve as a visual reminder to
parents that time is limited and valuable. We want them to be intentional with
the time they've been given. It will be gone all too soon.
LMK if you'd like to see any of our documents. I'm posting the video below and a pic of our faith boxes. I was so pleased with how meaningful this approach was, not only to those participating, but to the congregation as well. Worth the work!
How about you? What have you done for Family Dedication Ceremonies that was effective?
