The storyline might unfold as follows: You commit to a major investment in the form of a multiyear ERP project that places huge demand on management time and business resources. Other business change initiatives are either put on hold or depend on the ERP project. The project then falls behind schedule, costs increase (scope creep or excessive customization), or the systems integrator or Partner underdelivers.
When an ERP project starts to spiral out of control, it is imperative to quickly understand what is really going wrong and what needs to be done. For example, delaying the rollout to address possible business risks may result in cost overruns and clash with project team and SI incentives. Canceling the project could lead to an immediate financial write-off that impacts shareholders, yet continuing to spend money does not make business sense. Instead, the right course of action is often to remain calm, stay the course, and tightly manage the project. Many ERP projects have successfully powered through difficult times.
sa.global has long been the go-to Partner for Microsoft to turn around implementations that are in trouble. Over the two and a half decades of working on enterprise solutions, we know that successful projects require more than just software resellers - more than Partners who have sold the most. They need Partners with a great track record of successful implementations. They require business process consultants, change management experts, certified project managers, experienced integration and customization engineers, high-value quality analysts, and reliable and responsive support teams.
Unfortunately, too many companies end up working with a software reseller instead of a true consulting partner that can manage the people, process, and technology changes through to successful outcomes.

3 Md. School Workers Split Mega Millions Win
By Sarah Brumfield
BALTIMORE -- Two public school teachers and a school administrator are sharing the spoils of last month's record Mega Millions jackpot, planning trips to Europe, new homes and a daughter's college education, Maryland Lottery officials said Tuesday.
The Maryland winners claimed their proceeds Monday and chose to remain anonymous, but the lottery agency shared some details in a news conference, including the fact that each of the three works other jobs outside school to make ends meet.
"If it can't be you, these people are precisely the people you would want to see win," Maryland Lottery director Stephen Martino said.
The winning Maryland ticket is one of three nationally that split the $656 million jackpot, the biggest in Mega Millions history. The other winners in the March 30 drawing were picked in Kansas and Illinois. Kansas' winner claimed a share of the jackpot Friday, but also decided to remain anonymous. Nobody has come forward in Illinois.
Martino said the Maryland winners bought 60 tickets in three locations as a pool. The winning ticket came from a 7-Eleven store in Milford Mill outside Baltimore.
Each of the three will receive a lump sum payment of $35 million after taxes.
The two women and one man work in public education in the state. Officials did not disclose where, and said they knew each other from work but were not all at the same school.
One woman is in her 20s, one in her 50s and the man is in his 40s.
One winner is a special education teacher, one is an elementary school teacher and the third is a school administrator.
Their plans include backpacking in Europe, a tour of Italy's wine country and paying for a daughter's college education.
All three also planned to buy new homes and invest, officials said.

While Santa should have no problem fitting popular toys and electronics in his gift bag this Christmas, the items topping some homeowners' wish lists could present more of a challenge.
Old St. Nick, may be able to fit in a new toy train set, but boxes of new tile or new front doors? That could be tricky.
Still, Al Mozisek hopes Santa can rip out the carpet in the master and guest bathrooms and lay down some tile instead at his house in the Mission Trace neighborhood.
"It was really a nice carpet when I bought the house, (but) they're just in really bad condition from use over the years," the 69-year-old retired teacher said.
He remodeled most of the three-story home after he purchased it 11 years ago but overlooked the bathroom floors.
Though Mozisek estimated he already has invested about $60,000 in the property, he said it was time he should satisfy his decades-old wish to replace the off-white carpet.
"I hate the hassle of it, I guess, and pretty soon I'm going to have to overcome that because it's just really ugly," he said.
"I'm just going to have to bite my tongue and my wallet," Mozisek added, unless someone surprises him on Christmas morning.
Similarly, Joe Carreon, the proud owner of his grandparent's Craftsman-style home in Prospect Hill, has postponed replacing the front doors for some time.
Since he moved into the 1,300-square-foot house nearly 15 years ago, Carreon has restored the 100-year-old home's kitchen, bathrooms, roof, landscaping and more. Still, he'd like to get rid of the front doors that he described as "relics" and said look like they had been installed in the 1950s or 60s.
"I know what Craftsman doors look like, and if you're trying to be holistic or pure to the design of this house, it must be a high priority," said Carreon, a 53-year-old marketing manager at Holt CAT.
He described a Craftsman door as one with a number of windows across the top with a small shelf below them.
"These doors would really finish off the front of the house," Carreon said. "It would be very welcoming when you come into the house, and the front door is your welcome to the home."
Restorations aren't the only reason a homeowner might want to avoid the naughty list this year.
Some homeowners, like Stahl Elementary teacher Dehann Riou, might want a little more cleanliness in their lives, homes and especially their carpets.
"When we bought our house, we weren't sure we would have kids. We figured we'd take off our shoes and that kind of thing," the Encino Park resident said. "Then our son came along."
Between her now 9-year-old son's spills and dirt, Riou's decided all she wants for Christmas is new wood floors.
She's willing to spend several thousand dollars to make that wish come true but would like a special visitor to do the job for her this week.
"It would be so nice if the wood floor fairy came over," Riou joked. "Wood floors would be better with cleaning, with spills, with allergies, with everything.
"Oh please, please, please let Santa know!"

hey maritsa, hru?
Awww, that sounds very quick paced. actually yes I have. I have a little toddler, two year old niece whose full of energy. She's very imaginative, and learning so much about the world but also gets into a lot of mischief x3
It's no problem. x3 How are things in your world?
sorry! I didn't know.
Congratulations! :3
cute new picture!
Thank you Sky. Your picture is beautiful as well : )
ok i guess. Saw you on your youtube channel, clip "Baby and I", congratulations. Hope you're doing well over there in California, I heard things are very different now from what they used to be, skyrocketing costs etc.
Wow. Why didn't I read the Beskova definition for IEE before. Aside from the being a bundle of optimism (which I attribute to being enneagram 4), the IEE description from her was pretty spot on, except maybe also angular movements too lol (though I do often walk quickly)! Thanks for sharing Beskova on Voider's questionnaire, it ended up helping me in further solidifying my typing too!
Hmm, I don't have a great answer for that and will have to give it some thought (I'm still fairly new to this and have a lot to figure out about all of the types), but I will say I feel the greatest spiritual connection in nature and love it very much. Maybe it's connected to delta NF too or just NF in general. I think the calm and serenity, sense of peace it provides could be part of it for delta NF... maybe something to do with a sense of balance found in nature?
I do think many types can feel connected to and appreciate nature for potentially different reasons ofc

BEIJING (Reuters) - A paranoid killer or a persecuted scapegoat -- Gu Kailai, the woman at the centre of China's most politically explosive criminal case in a generation, remains an enigma.
A court in the central city of Hefei handed the wife of ousted Chinese politician Bo Xilai a suspended death sentence on Monday, effectively life imprisonment, after she confessed to killing British businessman Neil Heywood, an ex-family friend.
The case has ended the career of Bo, a well-connected and ambitious politician who had made enemies in Beijing with his populist leadership style and with his strong appeal to Maoist leftists within the ruling Communist Party.
Gu, 53, is seen by many Bo supporters as a scapegoat, framed by flimsy evidence that was not properly tested, compelled at the 11th hour to make a confession as her best chance of avoiding the death sentence. She agreed not to appeal.
For many others, she is China's Lady Macbeth, a cold-blooded woman of doubtful sanity who felt she could kill with impunity.
Before the murder scandal surfaced early this year, when police began treating Heywood's death in southwest China last November as suspicious, Gu had a reputation as an intelligent and glamorous woman, a career lawyer who dressed elegantly.
She had used Heywood, an expatriate living with his family in Beijing, to help her son get into Harrow, the exclusive British boarding school, and then into Oxford University. According to the unchallenged official version of the case against her, she killed Heywood after a business deal turned sour and he made threats against her son, Bo Guagua.
On Monday, after a closed-door hearing for verdict and sentencing, a court official added that she had been suffering "psychological impairment" at the time of the murder.
A source with close ties to the Bo family described her as having been in a paranoid state of mind. "She was convinced her husband's political rivals are out to assassinate her husband and son," the source said on the eve of Gu's trial this month.
The prosecutors' case against Gu emerged on August 9 after a seven-hour trial that was closed to non-official media. According to a court statement, prosecutors described how Gu had enlisted the help of her aide, Zhang Xiaojun, to prepare a poison and to accompany Heywood from Beijing to far southwestern Chongqing, a vast municipality where Bo was party chief.
She met Heywood, 41, at a Chongqing hotel and they began drinking. He became drunk, vomited and then asked for a glass of water. Gu then poured cyanide into Heywood's mouth and scattered capsules around his room to make it appear as if he had been popping pills, according to the statement.
During the trial, Gu did not enter a plea to the murder charge and only a day later, after the hearing had ended, did she issue a confession -- through official news agency Xinhua. In it, according to Xinhua, she said she had suffered a mental breakdown and killed Heywood because he had made a threat against her son, Guagua, over the failed business deal.
"During those days last November, I suffered a mental breakdown after learning that my son was in jeopardy," Xinhua quoted Gu as saying in the confession.
The court, though, raised doubts on Monday over whether Heywood really meant to harm Guagua. Heywood's family has declined to speak to reporters about the trial.
Bo's career came to a crashing halt after Wang Lijun, the top policeman in his power base, the city of Chongqing, fled to the nearest American consulate in February with the claim that Bo had covered up Heywood's murder.
Within weeks of the allegations emerging, Bo, 63, was ousted from the elite Politburo, sacked from his post as party chief in Chongqing and placed in custody. Gu and Zhang were charged.
It has been a long fall from grace for Gu, one of modern China's first law graduates and the daughter of a famous general. She once wrote about her success defending Chinese companies in an American court.
Gu had become depressed and isolated as her charismatic husband campaigned for a spot in the new generation of party leadership that takes over this fall, sources who knew her said.
Other family sources say she also suffers from cancer.
None of the reports could be verified.
Despite enjoying great privilege, Gu lost her professional identity as her husband's political career flourished. In China, most wives of high-ranking cadres fade discreetly into the background and many high-ranking women are unmarried.
Bo and Gu met in the early 1980s and were married in 1986, news reports have said. Bo, who was divorced at the time, has a son from his first marriage.
Bo, Gu and Guagua, the couple's only child, were unusual in seeking the spotlight. Her much-photographed short, chic haircut contrasted with the frumpy look favored by most leaders' wives.
When Bo governed the port city Dalian in the 1990s, Gu ran a law firm and consultancy. Journalist Jiang Weiping, later imprisoned for documenting corruption in Bo's circle, claims her firms channeled bribes from Taiwanese and foreign investors.
She went by the English name "Horus", referring to the falcon-headed Egyptian god of war, and depicted herself as a fearless attorney in her book, "Uphold Justice in America".
She stopped work to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest with Bo, whose political star was rising, but the decision appeared to have taken a toll on her.
"Ever since she stepped down, she lives like a hermit and doesn't attend any social events. When dad wants her to come to events, she won't," Bo Guagua said in a 2009 interview with the Chengdu Evening News, later expunged from its website.
"I can understand, she is most unwilling to exist in dad's shadow, and lose herself. Right now she reads all day and studies comparative literature."
For a time, Gu channeled her considerable energy into her son's education, tapping Heywood to help get him into school and moving with the boy to Britain. On her orders, Heywood pulled strings with British expatriates in Beijing to help get the youngster into Oxford, said one woman who met him then.
While in Britain, Gu attempted to go into business, selling promotional hot air balloons to Dalian and other Chinese cities. Heywood assisted with the arrangements.
She registered a company in the south of England with French architect Patrick Devillers, who left Dalian and divorced his Chinese wife around the same time. In June, he was detained in Cambodia by local police on China's request and he later flew to China on his own volition to help with the investigation.
Bo and Gu both came from pedigreed revolutionary families, with connections that brought power and wealth. Elite Chinese live in a world of infighting and suspicion, enduring repeated corruption probes, phone tapping and worries about betrayal.
Gu's paranoia after she returned to China could have intensified in the febrile atmosphere of Chongqing, where the couple moved in 2007.
Bo launched a bloody "strike black" anti-mafia campaign against alleged gangsters, featuring lurid tales of murder and corruption. He promoted choral songs from the Cultural Revolution, a dog-eat-dog period of political chaos in which his own mother died in the custody of fanatical Red Guards.
For Gu, the songs would have revived memories of a time when her parents were purged and she and her sisters were left to fend for themselves.
Her behavior became unstable around the time of Heywood's death in November last year. She strode into a meeting of police officials wearing the uniform of a major-general -- the same rank as her father. In a rambling speech she told them that she was on a mission to protect Wang.
Less than three months later, he accused her of murder. (Additional reporting by Sui-Lee Wee and Chris Buckley in Beijing; Editing by Raju Gopalakrishnan, Mark Bendeich and Paul Tait)

NBC Politics Launches Free Elections App for iPad and iPhone
NBC Politics launched a new iPad and iPhone app Thursday that lets users keep tabs on the latest news coming out of the 2012 race to the White House.
The app, which is free, first opens to a page of recent headlines. Users can tap a headline to get the full story, including images and video. A daily "tip sheet," which is a round-up briefing of the latest political news and headlines, is also included in the app. Candidate profiles give users full biographies of the presidential candidates. Also featured: Video clips taken directly from the latest episodes of NBC's many news shows.
"With all eyes on the 2012 election, the NBC Politics App delivers the best political content and reporting -– wherever you are," said David Gregory, moderator of NBC News' Meet the Press. "This all-access, easy-to-navigate resource puts the full power of NBC News in your hands, from the top headlines and stories to innovative features that allow serious political junkies to dig even deeper."
For you political geography geeks out there, the app has two different sets of maps: one that shows real-time results from primaries and, eventually, the general election, and another that's a game-based election simulator.
The real-time results map is visually inviting and simple to use, although the county-by-county results pull down from an outside web page, which can feel awkward and is occasionally buggy. However, if the data gets updated promptly on election nights, it could prove to be an excellent poll-watching tool.
The simulator presents a national election map, then challenges users to guess which way each of the 50 states will lean - heavily Democrat or Republican, slightly Democrat or Republican or neutral. Depending on your guesses, either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney is bestowed the presidential seal.
The truly nerdy amongst us will be disappointed to know that you can't — yet — predict results on a county-by-county basis.
There's a sharing element, too — users can easily post articles or video from the app to their Facebook or Twitter feeds.
NBC's new app was designed by Method, and is available for download in the App Store.


text: Good Morning, My name is Greg Oglethorpe. I am writing you today to inquire about your product for retail establishments. SUMMARY: (for those of you who just want the nitty gritty) 1. WE ARE NOT TRYING TO SELL MANUFACTURERS /Wholesale Distributors ANYTHING 2. We want the 3,200 (growing by over 200 per day) retailers to have access to your products. 3. We want to automate the ordering process for our 3,200 retailers that want your product. 4. THERE IS NEVER - EVER ANY CHARGE TO THE MANUFACTURER / Wholesale Distributor 5. We ask that you give retailers on our network your very BEST wholesale price on your product. 6. ALL 3,200 + retailers on the LISA network are "brick-and-mortars". They have retail stores. 7. We want to help provide extra-special wholesale products for retail stores using LISA 8. Manufacturers / Wholesale Distributors DO NOT HAVE TO USE LISA. 9. We will integrate with whatever software you have. 10. worth repeating..... 11. MANUFACTURERS / WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTORS DO NOT EVER PAY ANYTHING FOR BECOMING A MEMBER OF OUR NETWORK. 12. WE WILL CUSTOMIZE A "TIE-IN" APPLICATION FOR YOUR BUSINESS TO INTEGRATE SEAMLESSLY WITH LISA. 12. THE RETAILER PAYS TO USE LISA, AND IN TURN WE WORK DILLIGANTLY TO PROVIDE THEM WITH QUALITY PRODUCTS AT DISCOUNTED PRICES. Let me tell you a bit about our system, and how your product plays a role. We are XiNOS Systems Inc. We have developed a Point of Sale application for small to medium sized retailers.Our product is used nation wide, in over 3,200 stores. Our Point of Sale application is unique in that it ties small retail establishments together in a way never before possible using advanced internet technologies. Our system was developed in an effort to save the small retailers from oblivion by tying them together and making them stronger. To this end, we have developed several new programs to allow stores on our system "LISA POS" to "auto-order" when items become low. That's where you and your product comes in. We would like to allow our 3,200 stores using LISA POS to auto-order products from your establishment. We have approximately 2,350 stores on our LISA Network that carry products similar to yours. I believe the high profit margins of your product would allow for the stores on our network to carry a product that would compliment their inventory, and offer their customers quality, and value. These approximately 2,350 stores purchase in the neighborhood of 7.5 MILLION DOLLARS worth of products similar to yours annually. I believe your product could capture a signifigant portion of this market on our network. The way it would work is we would develop a "tie-in" system that would allow your ordering system (provided you have one) communicate seamlessly to our LISA POS systems. This system might simply consist of us sending you text files on a daily basis containing order information to a full-blown custom application residing on one of your data servers receiving real-time data from LISA Network retail establishments. What ever the technology solution this "tie-in" program is completely free of charge to you. We would develop it as a service to you, and our network. Stores on our network that set you up as a "preferred vendor" would begin auto-ordering your products immediately, and of course when they got low on the product they would automatically re-order through the system. We believe this relationship will bring a boost to your sales, and a boost to the profit margins of the 2,350 stores on the LISA Network that carry this type of product. We ask that you offer stores on the LISA Network your lowest "bulk" rate on the products you distribute. If you do not have a "bulk" rate, then we ask that you offer stores on the LISA Network a 15% savings on your product when ordered through the LISA Network. Please feel free to contact us at your convenience to further discuss the terms of relationship that will undoubtedly flourish. You can read more about LISA and the theories behind it at http://www.grasshutmarket.com/join/explanation.asp?ADID=19 I provided the link to help you better understand what LISA POS does for small retail establishments. I hope it provides you with a sound platform from which to make an informed decision concerning a possible relationship with retailers on the LISA Network, and XiNOS Systems Inc. Sincerely, Greg Oglethorpe GrassHutMarket.com / GoesShopping.com (214) 616-7508

Homemade Cough Syrup Recipe
Lingering cough: thou art my nemesis.
Whenever I catch a cold or some associated respiratory illness, it almost invariably moves into my lungs. Ten years of smoking nearly a pack of cigarettes per day earlier in my life have left my lungs more vulnerable than other parts of my body, and those germs just love to move in and rough things up. I developed this cough syrup recipe because taking commercial cough syrup for several weeks at a time is really hard on my body. I'm one of those people who gets jittery and uncomfortable from dextromethorphen hydrobromide.
Since cold season is upon us with the children's return to school (a veritable shopping mall of germs where everything is, unfortunately, free) and the first cooling changes in the weather, I thought others might want to try this project at home. Please let me know how it works for you.
You will need:
-3 cups of water
-1 big handful each of mullein leaf, coltsfoot leaf, wild cherry bark
-1 handful of horehound leaf (optional)
-1 handful elderberries (optional)
-2 cups of honey
-if you want a thicker syrup, you might add a small amount of pectin. I don't really think it's necessary, but some like it that way.
-1 cup brandy or vegetable glycerine (if using glycerine, reduce honey to one cup)
Bring water to a boil in a covered pot, add herbs, and boil covered until 3 cups of water is reduced to 2 cups of dark liquid. At this point, it should taste somewhat vile.
Remove from heat and strain well, pressing herbs into strainer with a heavy item to make sure as much liquid as possible is squeezed out.
Stir in honey (add pectin directly to honey, then stir in. A single tablespoon is enough).
Add brandy or vegetable glycerine to preserve.
Shake well before using, as natural ingredient settle to the bottom.
Adult Dosage is 2 tablespoons every 2-4 hours as needed. For me, this syrup has loosened a tight chest, helped me eliminate the mucus in a wet cough, and has eased and soothed dry, hacking coughs.
Dosage for children under twelve varies: 1/2 tsp every two hours for littles, 1 tsp every two hours for children 4-8, 1 tbsp every 2 hours for children 8-12. Use your own judgment and adjust for children who are smaller or larger than average.
May you enjoy a happy, healthy Autumn and Winter!

As many of you know, the Sprint Review or Demo is a fundamental part of the Scrum Framework. This "inspect" and "adapt" for the product is paramount to the ability to adjust and move forward.
If you are facilitating the discussion about when your review is going to be every Sprint, consider the stakeholders and their ability to show up for your review before making that decision as a team.
In my travels, I am often faced with a team that is trying to decide on the day and time of the week to finish off their sprints and do demos. There is much written about the day of the week, morning, afternoon, over the weekend, etc. There are many discussions related to what next; The Retrospective and how the retrospective timing is very important to a team's ability to grow and get better.
Consider that the Sprint Review is the one time that the Scrum Process specifically interacts outside the team with different parts of the business.
The reality today is that if you are trying to follow Scrum in an enterprise, you will likely not fit perfectly into existing corporate systems.
There are two approaches you could follow;
- Abandon the fundamentals of Scrum with the fixed cycle that is so important to its' rhythm.
Simply declaring "We are doing Scrum and stakeholders have to show on Friday's at 4:00 PM to see our demo or they don't care about us or our product" doesn't seem to me to be considering Scrum's Values.. Respect for starters.
Scrum is a Framework that helps to build Trust in the Organization. The team has the ability to self-organize. Think about this comment. It is also possible for a team to self-organize themselves into an antagonistic and confrontational part of the business.
There are many other considerations for the Sprint Review or Demo that relate to team dynamics, building of trust, feedback loops, transparency of progress, etc. A quick internet search will help guide you in that way.
If you are like me, you may have been asked to help a team determine a Sprint Length. Part of that decision includes deciding what day the Review will be and if it will be in the morning or afternoon.
I strongly encourage that you have an open dialogue with your teams about when your stakeholders actually can show up for the review. If you are in an enterprise this can be even more challenging.
When a team sets a review day and time that has no basis on the reality of their stakeholders being able to come, it is hard to say later "the business doesn't support us. They never show up for the demo".
I have included an example of where teams can go wrong.
You need to focus on keeping the same day and time every sprint or you will lose much of the benefit of the "heartbeat" of Scrum.
Consider the following scenario;
A team with one week Sprints decides to have Planning on Monday mornings and the Review/Demo on Friday afternoon at 4:00 PM.
Sounds OK right?
In an Enterprise, Fridays are typically the day that the following happen;
- Executives and Managers are in meetings giving their "weekly status reports".
- Managers are doing the "golf thing" as a part of their jobs
- Leaders are networking at pubs
- People are off early on Friday's due to "summer hours" allowing them to leave at noon on Fridays.
- the list goes on ...
Scrum is hard enough to do already without the added complications of not considering the implications of the selected time for the Review or Demo. It is important.
I believe in helping teams to consider what will allow them to be the most successful in their environments.
The reality is that many teams are in non-perfect environments and should do whatever they can to stick with Scrum as designed.
Team dynamics can be changed by the team's interaction with people "around the edges". Learn from that and do what you can to not have to change the basics of the Scrum Framework.
At a minimum, it doesn't make sense to have your review at the EXACT time your Primary Stakeholder has no choice but to be in a weekly meeting in a remote office. Doing so shows lack of respect for them and frankly, for yourselves. You are practically guaranteeing that you are not going to get what was intended for this important Scrum ceremony.
The Sprint Review or Demo is your Primary opportunity to show your progress to stakeholders so they know real status and can be part of the process. It is in fact, the intended time to do this.
I do not advocate changing the days due to an occasional scheduling conflict. Remember; you cannot please everyone all the time. That is not the intent.
If you are in a new environment, you have the ability to find out a bit about the corporate cycle before choosing your review date.
If you are in an environment that is struggling to get stakeholders to your review, ask yourself if you have chosen an impossible day of the week for this ceremony.
Please, for the sake of your team(s)....
When considering when your Sprint will end,
think of the ability of your stakeholders
to actually show up once in a while!
Stakeholders are people too. They don't want to let the team down either.
If you are fortunate enough to be in an environment where everyone comes together to see the review and demo as part of what is going on normally in the company, then this won't apply to you of course.
However, if you are in a "transitioning" or "imperfect" environment, ... have the discussion.

Mind the gap in our public transport system
12 November 2012
See a larger version of this image
Maps comprehensively detailing Sydney's access to public transport show frequency of service is a major hurdle to Sydney having a viable and equitable transport system.
"Improving Sydney's transport system is not all about pouring money into projects with decade-long timeframes," said Dr Kurt Iveson, from the University of Sydney's School of Geosciences, who created the maps.
"We need long-term investment but there are significant steps we can take immediately to give Sydney a better transport system. This transport-mapping research illustrates the gaps in the existing network that need to be filled."
The maps were produced by Dr Iveson and his PhD student Laurence Troy in partnership with Sydney Alliance, using Geographic Information Software networking tools.
Using this software, they combined three key kinds of digital information: the road network; public transport service points (train stations, bus, ferry and light rail stops); and average frequencies of services at each point between 5am and midnight on a weekday.
While the first map shows that a good proportion of the city, but not all, has access to some form of public transport within a 400 metre walk, the second map shows there are large areas of Sydney where those services do not come at least every 15 minutes.
"Only about a quarter of Sydneysiders' trips are work-related with much of our travel taking place outside the weekday morning and afternoon peaks, all over greater Sydney," Dr Iveson said.
"That means a viable public transport system has to offer an integrated and flexible network of routes that enable us to access the entire city, not just the CBD, throughout the day.
"For this to happen, everyone must have access to some form of public transport within that 400 metre distance and arriving at least every 15 minutes - known as a 'forget the timetable' frequency."
The maps show that while all regions in Sydney have pockets of access to public transport of this standard, most regions outside of the inner city have significant gaps. For instance, around Fairfield and Liverpool in the city's south-west, some train stations and main roads offer frequent services, but suburbs in between these stations and roads are poorly serviced.
"Good public transport contributes to social inclusion and a better environment. While major infrastructure projects are important, right now we can improve frequencies and better integrate existing services in the Sydney transport network to make a real difference to people's lives," Dr Iveson said.
"We hope that these maps provide Sydneysiders with the kind of geographical knowledge that can enable them play a stronger role in debates about public transport policy priorities."

Oracle plans to release 37 security patches next week as part of its quarterly update cycle.
The fixes cover as-yet-unspecified flaws in products including Oracle Database, Application Server, and E-Business Suite, among others. Some of the patches due to be released on Tuesday, 17 April cover flaws in multiple products.
An unlucky 13 of the planned security updates include fixes for versions of Oracle's database. Three of these patches are particularly important since they cover flaws that might be exploited remotely without requiring login credentials. Two of the 11 flaws in Oracle's E-Business suite might also be remotely exploited by hackers, Oracle warns in a pre-release announcement here.
In October, Oracle began rating the severity of bugs in its applications according to the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), an industry-wide initiative designed to standardise vulnerability ratings. Oracle rates this quarter's patch batch at 7.0 in a scale from zero to 10, where 10 indicates impending internet meltdown (or some such calamity). That's the same threat level given to Oracle's last patch release, published in January. However this time around database and system adminstrators have to deal with fewer patches, 37 compared to the 51 Oracle issued at the start of the year. ®

25 Dec '06 - The hidden digital world
My last boss spoke French and pronounced e-mail as email: enamel. The material that protects metal from rust. In 1998 I burned my first CD with MP3. Gradually these digital advances got accepted into many living rooms: mobile phones, MP3-players, DVD- or even harddisk recorders, LED-lamps. Handy gizmos at the foreground of the digital revolution. I believe new meanings come from applications that show a thus far hidden world.

Re: Seeking explanation on assigning a hash to a scalarby Samy_rio (Vicar)

|Need Help??
Hi jesuashok, It means "Number of used buckets and the number of allocated buckets, separated by a slash." ( Ex.: 4/8 ).
In \html\lib\Pod\perldata.html, description as,
If you evaluate a hash in scalar context, it returns false if the hash is empty. If there are any key/value pairs, it returns true; more precisely, the value returned is a string consisting of the number of used buckets and the number of allocated buckets, separated by a slash. This is pretty much useful only to find out whether Perl's internal hashing algorithm is performing poorly on your data set. For example, you stick 10,000 things in a hash, but evaluating %HASH in scalar context reveals "1/16", which means only one out of sixteen buckets has been touched, and presumably contains all 10,000 of your items. This isn't supposed to happen.

Checking out the cover-art with its photo of alpine scenery (apparently a holiday destination for geometric shapes visiting from the Pythagorean World of Eternal Forms), I'm curiously optimistic about this type of collage being the allusive call sign of a new genre – like the animal-headed people on the covers of alt.country records that tell you the artists in question are taking you into similarly mythic territory, rather than just purveyors of tunes. True, it's not ideal to compare SVIIB to Fuck Buttons (geometric shapes hover above the cover-photos used by the latter), but they feel like a feminine counterpart, and the electronic drones and swooshes of Alpinisms fill me with a similar elation – manifesting something higher, purer, colder, and yet strangely credible within this world, unlike the escapism of so much dance-music, which creates a sonic utopia only to imply that the real-world sucks when you're not out of your skull. Alpinisms feels like natural beauty enhanced with subtle pop production, rather than something transitory, adrift from reality.
For the most part, then, this is superior dream-pop (as Americans call it), closest to Blonde Redhead on their last album, suggestive of M83 making slightly more effort with the lyrics, and in places nodding to Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Curve. That's "superior dream-pop" partly because the songs have more backbone than most in the genre, thanks to Benjamin Curtis (from mainstream prog-revivalists Secret Machines); here, Curtis is more successful in his approximation of Pink Floyd's Animals album than ever before. Meanwhile, the twins, Alejandra & Claudia Deheza, harmonize beautifully, and even when their vocal lines are processed, they end up sounding like pristine post-human cybernetic beings, instead of vocodered automatons (only one appearance, here, for the default dream-pop effect, accompanying "I can't see-eem / to re-member / my dre-eams…".
Okay, you won't be startled by anything on this record, but you may well be captivated by all of it. There's only one mis-step – 'Sempiternal /Amaranth' – where SVIIB choose to extend their least interesting riff longest, i.e. 11-and-a-half minutes. Over an unwavering synth line (buh-wup-uh… buh-wup-uh…), one of the Deheza sisters struggles to wake up ("al-low / your-self / to be- / -lieve me… // al-low / your-self / to be- / -lieve me…!"), while the guitars bluster and rumble to approximate the jetstream in this dream of flying. Inevitably, it falls a long way short of Daydream Nation, or 'Mogwai Fear Satan'.
When SSVIIB play to their strengths – most of the time – the songs are so smooth that you lower your expectations for any strong hooks, as you would when listening to ambient, only to discover that you're caught up in a glorious anthem (see, especially, 'Iamundernodisguise', 'Connjur', 'Half Asleep'), making this a kind of secret dance-music you didn't know you were swaying to.

The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor pickup emerged in 2007 as a desert runner, was recast as a Michigan mudder and then as a snowbird-slash-missile-site-transporter. For its fourth phase, Ford is positioning the long-travel-suspension pickup as a rock crawler. Having never scrabbled the Earth's craggy layer in a truck before, I was a natural sucker for Ford's latest demo of the Raptor's abusage cycle in Moab. Who would crack first, the truck's frame or the on-roader's spine?
Full Disclosure: Ford wanted me to drive the 2012 Raptor so bad, they flew me to Grand Junction, Colorado, put me up in a rustic lodge near Moab, Utah, fed me cowboy steak and taught me how to inch over vast sandstone formations in a truck. And to keep an eye out for rattlesnakes while peeing..
When I'm told I'll be driving the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor in Utah, I get giddy and daydreamy with anticipation:
I'm bombing down some barren dry wash with a rooster tail of desert dust at my back. I catch air over a rock shelf, then arc across a scrub-strewn bend at full lock, just as a Bell JetRanger helicopter swoops in to join the chase.
We're gaining ground on that fleeing sand-rail buggy – the mysterious drifter I caught in the sack with my wife, the ungrateful redneck tramp. Shots ring out…
No, I'm told. We're going rock crawling in Moab. Crawling? Sounds kinda, you know, slow.
Really, that's the point. Among some new gear Ford's installed in the latest-model Raptor is a Torsen limited-slip front differential, which apportions torque between the right and left sides as needed to maximize traction. This bit of drive hardware replaces the previous models' open diff, and elevates rock-crawling in the Raptor's capability profile.
The new Raptor also has a grille-mounted camera with a wide-angle lens. The camera's wired to the eight-inch navigation display, allowing an enhanced view of what's happening in front during high-angle ascents up dangerous-looking rock formations, even when there's nothing but clouds in the windshield. That's definitely not something you'd need while speeding (factory-rated speeding, of course) down some old codger's whiskey trail, but very welcome for, you know, rock crawling.
And so, here we are in Moab. The name comes from the Book of Genesis. You remember Lot? (The pillar-of-salt lady's husband.) He fled the smoldering Sodom and Gomorrah with his two daughters, who happened to really want a brother. One night, Lot got drunk. Nine months later, he was the father (and also grandfather) of two kids, one of whom took the name Moab (Tiberian for "seed of the father"). Moab eventually led a society of Moabites, who weren't really known for much of anything except drinking and screwing around and getting taken over by Pharaoh Ramses II. (Right. The condom guy.)
That's not this Moab, of course. This Moab, in southeastern Utah, was founded in the 1800s by religious zealots. It became a boomtown in the 1950s after one of the locals found enough uranium to obliterate the world 15 times over.
Nowadays, Moab is known for the recreational opportunities provided by its "slickrock," those vast, pale-orange knobs nestled amidst the Colorado river like the world's puffiest down jacket. Slickrock, formed of Navajo sandstone, isn't particularly slick at all; the lichen-dappled surface is semi-porous and resembles medium-grained sandpaper. Mountain bikers and off-road-vehicle enthusiasts love this place because they can drive for miles and miles, up and over all the slickrock knobs, and barely even get irradiated at all.
In structure, slickrock are petrified sand dunes dating back to the Jurassic period, when the Earth's equator sat just south of the Colorado Plateau. Along those dunes ran wild a particular theropod dinosaur, a 20-foot-long, 1,500-pound beast now referred to as the Utah raptor. Aha. Clever, Ford.
The trail on which we'll be traveling in a convoy of Raptor SuperCabs, is called "Hell's Revenge." The U.S. Bureau of Land Management calls Hell's Revenge "a six and one half mile roller coaster ride. It is extremely difficult, and recommended only for very experienced drivers with advanced equipment."
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management does not tell us that the trail starts out on a humpy bit of slickrock that Moab regulars call "Oprah's Butt."
We get to the trailhead in the early morning to air-down the Raptors' 35" BFGoodrich all-terrains to about 17 psi. The lower pressure will give us a broader surface area for a surer grip over the slickrock. Our guide is rock-crawling expert Dan Mick, a bearded, plus-sized Moab fixture who knows the slickrock like he knows his way around a tall tale and, evidently, a tender Porterhouse.
We engage the trucks' low range and off we go, straight up Oprah's Butt.
We're inching up a rock face as narrow as a dinosaur's back, guided by two, oily streaks, tinted carbon-black from countless passes of knobby rubber. I'm riding shotgun for the first half – around three miles. That doesn't sound like a lot of miles, but at the single-digit speeds we're going, wrapping up Hell's Revenge will take all day. I occupy myself by taking artsy photos in the side-view mirror and watching the trail unfold on the console screen, as the truck's nose is pointed toward Ursa Minor.
After a while, I give up my sidekick's chair and climb behind the wheel for the next leg. As it turns out, crawling over miles of slickrock is like pushing Matchbox cars over a stack of couch cushions really, really slowly. The Raptor's long travel and new Torsen make quick work of the climbing, and I find watching the front camera is almost as entertaining as actually driving. On a few of the more dramatic obstacles (I think we drove up a dead whale) we'd engage the rear locker by way of a pull-out knob on the 4WD switch. With the rear locked, we could have probably crawled up a McDonald's.
A little about the front diff. Ford boffins set the preload on the helical gearset to zero, to minimize torque steer during straight-line acceleration. Hardcore rock crawlers would want to set the preload higher to assure much of the torque is applied to the gripping side, say, if a wheel is airborne. It's a tradeoff the Raptor can largely compensate for on the rocks, using traction control (in four-wheel high only) or by locking the rear diff, which can be accomplished on the fly by a dashboard knob.
Indeed, I'm surprised at the Raptor's capability on this terrain, though I'm feeling a little edgy from using the throttle the way a neurosurgeon uses a cranial drill. We stop for a demo of the truck's extreme-ascent capability, up a steep, narrow chasm called "Hell's Gate." "Momentum is your friend, speed is your enemy," Mick tells me, as we watch the driver inch upward toward us, feathering the throttle like Dolly Madison tickling the president with her quill pen.
We continue along the six-mile trail, meandering over rocks and navigating through dry washes and onto slab surfaces as big as shopping malls, all the while in low range at single-digit speeds. A remote-controlled video helicopter trains its gyroscopically-stabilized eye on our every climb and dip, recording us for posterity — or on the outside chance one of us tumbles, roof-first down a 100-foot ledge. We snake past delicate desert ecosystems and teeter atop monster-sized bowler hats, guided only by a few, painted wheel-placement lines and the tentative hand gestures from our guides.
Soon, we're at the "hot tub." Eons of erosive forces have carved out holes in the rock the size of semi trucks. Off-roaders use these natural rain barrels as proof-of-truck obstacles. When it's our turn, we inch down into a 20-foot hole, gather our testicles, then slowly climb up the other side. Some of us take more than one shot at it, but we all make it.
Then, a final, rocky descent down a winding track that provides some of the most stunning canyon views in the world. The landscape in our windshields includes a plot of land of where a development group, the latest Moabites to stake a claim to all this physical drama of the West, wants to put a resort. It's a plan they'll have to pry out of the locals' cold-dead hands. And Oprah's Butt.

Download Android apps directly to your PC from the Android Market
If you've always wanted a way to download an application from the Android Market directly to your PC, boy do we have the right thing for you. An Android developer by the name of redphx sent us an email today, introducing us to APK Downloader. It's a Chrome extension which allows users to download application APK files directly from the Android Market to their desktop.
In order to use the APK Downloader extension, you'll need the latest version of Chrome on your computer. Then you will need to disable the browser's SSL error warnings, enter your device ID number, email and password. Your email and password are stored locally on your computer and are only used when the Chrome extension tries to grab the Android Market cookie to download the APK file from the Android Market. Once your setup is complete, simply browse the Android Market with your Chrome browser on your PC, find an app you would like to download, and click the APK Downloader icon which appears in the address bar when you are on the application page.
At first, we couldn't think of any real reason to use APK Downloader, but then we realized that there are plenty of Kindle Fire users who do not have access to many of the applications that are only available on the Android Market, plus there are many apps which are made available only for specific devices. Come on, do developers really think that all those Tegra games can not be played on devices with Qualcomm chips?
I don't think the APK Downloader extension for Chrome is going to change anybody's life, but it will be handy tool for those of you who have devices with limited access to the Android Market and simply want to enjoy their applications on as many device as possible.

ASC Studios, It's About Time private view and exhibition
A rare opportunity to see all five of Tereza Buskova's films, all soundtracked by Bela Emerson, at ASC Gallery, Erlang House, 128 Blackfriars Road, London, SE1 8EQ. Runs until 21st December '13.
Private view Friday 1st November '13 - artist Harold Smykla will be drawing the films as part of the opening event.
More about the exhibition:
The fourteen artists in this exhibition explore the nature of time and how different timescales can function simultaneously in an artwork. They operate in painting, photography, sculpture, installation, film and performance in four main ways:
putting more than one timescale into an image;
the strategy of recreating one time in another;
building the representation of time into a work;
making visible the time which passes in the making of the work.
The show also encourages us to consider how two fundamentally contrasting philosophical viewpoints dominate our current understanding of time.

Their itinerary includes stop-offs to secluded groves, haunted grottoes and magic forests.

The film will be shown throughout the festival in September-October, at St. Clements Church, Old Romney, Kent. AiRM is a visual arts project offering artists the unique opportunity to make experimental visual responses in the context of medieval churches.

Dr Harry Witchel (with Bela Emerson & Karl Dürr-Sørensen) at the Royal Institution, January 2011
Dr Harry Witchel researches music, pleasure and the brain. He suggests that we evolved music for the same reason as birds and gibbons, using music to establish social territory. In this way, music can influence what you think, what you decide to buy, and even how smart you are. Music stirs such powerful emotions in us because territory is not a place it is a state of mind.
Dr Witchel's new book, You Are What You Hear, is launched on 27th January, with a special pre-release event at the Royal Institution of Great Britain on 19th January. Both events feature live musicians (cellist Bela Emerson & clarinettist Karl Dürr-Sørensen) to illustrate the aspects of music that wield power over our emotions.
