Product History
The history of booklets is as old as writing on paper. This started with tablets, scrolls, and sheets of papyrus. What immediately predates the bound multi-page books we know today were handbound, and sometimes handwritten, codices which could only be afforded by the ultra-wealthy.
Thanks to the invention of the printing press, introduced to us by Johannes Gutenberg, many have access today, to a plethora of books at reasonable costs. These advancements in mass production techniques also enabled the business to print booklets showcasing their goods and services.

This morning, Leica Asia Pacific unveiled their new and improved Leica Customer Care Centre at the International Building along Orchard Road, Singapore. The Customer Care Centre aims to offer Leica customers the delight factor and "wow" experience.
Leica customers can now enjoy a better experience when they need to send in their camera for servicing. Leica Camera Asia Pacific has announced the new and improved Customer Care Centre located at the heart of Orchard Road, Singapore. According to Gerald Wagner, service manager, the company has a 2015 Customer Service Strategy and the vision includes the increase of value of Leica products, and enhance customers binding and enthusiate for new products. It is a shift from the traditional "repair shop" to a supplier of services with strong focus to customers needs.
The Customer Care Centre has recently been equipped with new Leica Rangefinder and sensor calibration machine for the M digital cameras. The new equipment can perform adjustment and calibration checks as well as confirms and aligns sensor flatness. Such services were previously conducted only in the Leica Customer Care Centre back in Solms, Germany, but now two of the local technicians can do the checks and calibrations. This also helps to shorten the waiting period for M-cameras servicing to around seven working days, as compared to six to eight weeks if the cameras went sent back to Germany. However, note that for the S-cameras and lens adjustments and repairs, these would have to be done by Leica HQ in Germany, while upgrades from M9 to M9-P can be performed here.
The Leica Customer Care Centre handles requests from Southeast Asia, namely Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.

With 2013 just around the corner, everyone is starting to set their New Year's Resolutions. As part of my personal belief system, I use esbats as a self check up on the yearly and monthly goals I make. I always ask myself the following questions:
How am I? This includes physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
How am I progressing towards meeting my goals for the year?
Did I meet my goals for last month?
Do I have any goals for the upcoming month?
On top of those questions, I set a specific focus for each check up, such as looking at one of the eight areas I consider essential to a happy life. Examples of these include taking a special look at my health or financial goals. I also have general actions to take during the next lunar cycle, such as cleaning the house, creating balance in my life or even simply relaxing.
For sanity's sake, it's important to set goals and check in with yourself routinely. Full moons provide that for me. How do yearly goals and resolutions fit into your belief system?

One of my very favorite gardens in D.C., and one which I stop by frequently during my lunchtime bike rides, is the Mary Livingston Ripley Garden. Conveniently located on the south side of the National Mall in the city's Downtown neighborhood, the garden is tucked neatly in-between the Smithsonian's Arts and Industries Building and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (MAP), in an area which had previously been slated to become a parking lot.
The half-acre curvilinear-shaped garden was designed by local architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen as a sensory garden, with raised planting beds and greater accessibility for handicapped and other visitors. Many of its original plants were brought in from the Litchfield, Connecticut home of Mary Livingston Ripley, an avid lifelong plant scholar-collector, active gardener, and wife of the S. Dillon Ripley, the Smithsonian Institution's eighth Secretary. The garden opened in 1978, and a decade later it was renamed in Mrs. Ripley's honor by the Smithsonian Women's Committee, a philanthropic group she helped found.
The garden has evolved over the years, with more recent efforts focused on exposing visitors to the widest variety of plants and flowers possible, many of which are grown in the Smithsonian Gardens Greenhouse Complex in Maryland. Currently there are more than 200 varieties of plants in hanging baskets, borders, raised serpentine and circular beds, and even growing vertically on plant walls.
The garden is also adorned with a number of 19th-century cast-iron furnishings. These furnishings are part of the historical collection belonging to Smithsonian Gardens, and include a large Acanthus fountain anchoring the middle of the garden, ornate light posts interspersed along the paths, and benches that are far away enough from each other that they provide a sense of intimacy with the person you're sitting with rather than people on the next bench.
Another asset of the Ripley Garden is horticulturist Janet Draper and her staff. They not only maintain this incredible garden, but are also friendly, helpful if you have a question or need assistance, and even offer an informal walking tour of the garden every Tuesday at 2 p.m. through October, weather permitting.
For anyone who hasn't yet been there, I highly recommend it. And I would encourage you to spend some time there and be attentive, unlike the commuters and other pedestrians who simply use the garden as a cut-through between Independence Avenue and the National Mall. And if you're able, I would suggest going several times, perhaps at different times during the year. It is worth repeated visits not only for the quantity and variety of plants. but because the garden is ever changing.
The following are some of my favorite photos, mostly of of flowers and plants, that I took over the past year
or so in the Mary Livingston Ripley Garden. Click on each to see the full-size version. Viewing them on a
high definition screen is suggested in order to better see the complexity and intricate beauty of each.

Advocates say the Trans-Pacific Partnership creates the largest trade zone in the world, but it could have wider-reaching implications for Canadian laws and regulations.
The full text hasn't yet been released, and already it turns out key details impacting the auto sector were left out of the Conservative government's initial public announcement.
Some of Canada's legacy media would like you to "celebrate" the TPP, but how does the tone of the debate in Canada stack up with how the debate is playing out in other countries?
Here are a few names south of the border who say they have some big problems with the TPP:
Hilary Clinton
Clinton is the Democratic Party frontrunner and she might be President next year. Here's why she's come out against the TPP:
"I'm worried that the pharmaceutical companies may have gotten more benefits and patients and consumers — fewer. I think that there are still a lot of unanswered questions."
Bernie Sanders
And here's why Clinton's challenger for the Democratic nomination is against it too:
"Wall Street and other big corporations have won again...It is time for the rest of us to stop letting multi-national corporations rig the system to pad their profits at our expense."
Elizabeth Warren
Senator Elizabeth Warren said the TPP will erode national sovereignty in a speech earlier this year:
"Who will benefit from the TPP?...One strong hint is buried down in the fine print of the closely guarded draft. The provision…is called "Investor Dispute Settlement". The name may sound mild, but this provision fundamentally tilts the playing field further in favour of big, multinational corporations…IDS allows foreign companies to challenge American laws and potentially pick up huge payouts from taxpayers without ever setting foot in an American court."
Joseph Stiglitz
Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz doesn't even think the TPP is worthy of the name "free trade".
"You will hear much about the importance of the TPP for "free trade." The reality is that this is an agreement to manage its members' trade and investment relations – and to do so on behalf of each country's most powerful business lobbies. Make no mistake: It is evident from the main outstanding issues, over which negotiators are still haggling, that the TPP is not about "free" trade."
Robert Reich
Former US Secretary of Labour Robert Reich says the TPP will continue driving down standards:
"[The TPP is] a Trojan Horse in a global race to the bottom, giving big corporations and Wall Street banks a way to eliminate regulations that get in the way of their profits."
Richard Trumka
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka notes that its a strange coincidence how corporations seem to win on every point of the deal:
"There's been a lot of talk about winners and losers in various aspects of this deal. Spoiler alert: Corporations seem to win at every turn at the expense of working people."
On the flipside, the TPP is driving a split between the Wall Street-wing of the GOP and grassroots conservatives, with several presidential candidates and a number of congressional Republicans coming out against the trade deal.
Right-wing icons like Pat Buchanan have been making the rounds on conservative media warning the TPP will ruin the GOP's chances next election:
"I think the Grand Ole Party, if they vote for this when the country is really awakened to what is happening to this because of these trade deals — I think the Republicans will forfeit any chance they got of winning the industrial states ... it frees up these corporations to move their factories abroad, their plants abroad, and send their goods back to the United States free of charge."
The Cato Institute
Even the American Tea Partiers over at the libertarian Cato Institute think the TPP's Investor-State Dispute Settlement "raises concerns about domestic sovereignty":
"ISDS exceeds "national treatment" obligations, extending special privileges to foreign corporations. An important pillar of trade agreements is the concept of "national treatment," which says that imports and foreign companies will be afforded treatment no different from that afforded domestic products and companies."
Doctors Without Borders
Concerns about the deal's impact on the drug prices and availability were echoed by the non-profit organization Doctors Without Borders.
"The most harmful trade pact ever for access to medicines. The TPP, which is currently being negotiated between the U.S., Canada and ten other Pacific Rim nations, is on track to become the most harmful trade pact ever for access to medicines in developing countries, unless damaging provisions are removed before the deal is sealed."
The Sierra Club
Environmental groups like the Sierra Club have expressed significant concerns about the TPP's likely impact on the regulation of pollution and harmful chemicals.
"The TPP will include provisions that give corporations the right to sue a government for unlimited cash compensation -- in private and non-transparent tribunals -- over nearly any law or policy that a corporation alleges will reduce its profits. Using similar rules in other free trade agreements, corporations such as Exxon Mobil and Dow Chemical have launched nearly 600 cases against nearly 100 governments. Dozens of cases attack common-sense environmental laws and regulations, such as regulations to protect communities and the environment from harmful chemicals or mining practices."

I searched how to download file libregreek.oxt directly from Google Drive address
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bzdfv0j … BhNWc/edit
and I managed to do it with

Any suggestions?
Last edited by helix (2015-08-17 22:05:54)
Two suggestions - see if you can get the upstream source to use something better than
dropbox google drive. If not, you could put the mv command in a prepare function.
edit: sorry, read to quickly, but both google drive and dropbox may be useful for sharing with individuals (debatable really) but neither are any good for broad distribution (edit2: Prograndy's note below about generating a real link may partially remedy this).

"UNIX is simple and coherent..." - Dennis Ritchie, "GNU's Not UNIX" - Richard Stallman
It's Google Drive actually, and it's not my upload, that's why I'm looking on how to get it from there properly. Can PKGBUILD use wget (I assume that by default it uses curl for downloadings)?
Last edited by helix (2015-08-17 13:36:48)
A PKGBUILD cannot set the dlagent*. Users can set it for themselves in makepkg.conf. But does curl fail to get this at all, or is it simply that (either curl or wget) need to have the file renamed after download?
*but you could do all the downloading in the prepare function like people used to do for git sources. I don't think this is a good idea though.
EDIT: I'd try out some testing here, but it seems even the urls you posted in your first post are only giving a 404 with curl or wget for me.

You use the wrong URL, the one you give use results in a 404. Maybe try this service to get the direct download link.
Edit: By the way, why are you using unzip? I think makepkg will do that for you. If you don't like that, add a noextract entry.

Finally uploaded the new PKGBUILD which downloads the necessary files directly from the project github page. Marking this as solved.

Wanting to impress someone who you are newly dating is completely natural. A first date provides the first opportunity to express who you are, what you believe in, and what you want in a partner. If the initial meeting goes well, there might be an opportunity to have a much wanted second date. However, if the first meeting flops, a second date will most likely not be in the cards. Choosing a neutral and non-threatening yet comfortable environment for your first meeting will be helpful in making the experience go so well that it leads to a second date. Here are some tried and true first date ideas that all single people should try:
A quaint cafe or coffee shop is an ideal place to have a first in person connection with someone, especially if both people on the date are strapped for cash and don't want to spend a lot of money during the first meeting. The prices at coffee shops are usually reasonable. An inexpensive date takes the pressure off, allowing for the focus to be on communicating and getting to know each other. Two people meeting each other for the first time should ideally connect in a public place. Even if you have a good intuitive feeling about your date, you should protect yourself in the initial stages of getting to know each other.
Marine life is completely fascinating, and there is so much to learn about how fish, shark, seahorses, and other sea creatures live under water. Take your date to a local aquarium to watch marine life swimming and frolicking in man-made water tanks. You can both have a lot of fun at an aquarium, and it is a public place, so, you can feel safer having your first date together in an environment where there will be many people around you in case the person you are with makes you feel uncomfortable. While you are at the aquarium together, you can talk to each other about your lives and interests while looking at the sea creatures at the same time. And, best of all, there is plenty of marine life to turn to and stare at if there are any awkward pauses in the conversation.
Singing can be a great stress reliever. Karaoke is a wonderful activity for those who enjoy singing in the shower as well as those who relish singing for audiences. Check your local area's bars and restaurants for karaoke events and consider making your first date together a karaoke night. This type of date will also be an opportunity to learn about your love interest's musical tastes. Music is a bonding factor for many people, especially couples. Knowing your partner's music preferences can lead to future date suggestions involving music such as concerts, and dance clubs. Even if you and your date decide not to sing karaoke songs together on stage, you can still have an enjoyable time together watching other patrons of the restaurant perform.
Amusement Park
Spending time outdoors in a lively atmosphere such as an amusement park can take the pressure off of you and your potential love interest. Costume characters, games, and rides provide plenty of options to have a fun first date. Visiting a zoo or a farm can provide fun and pressure free moments to enjoy each other's company. Strolling through theme parks is an opportunity to hold each other's hands if you feel a strong connection developing between the two of you. Take in the sights and sounds as you have fun in the sun.
Your first date together should be as interactive as possible. The goal of each first date should be to discover if you and the other person have common ground with each other. A movie date where you sit in silence staring at actors on a screen will not help you to accomplish your mission in getting to know someone. Leave a movie outing for the second or third date. The focus of your first meeting should be about discovering compatibility. Make every opportunity to engage the person you are meeting with in conversation that is equally interesting and non-threatening.

Insights from the survey are available on the Search Optics blog in a post titled "Five Essential Questions to Ask Your Digital Marketing Service Prov...."
The survey participants included dealers representing automotive brands from Asia, Europe, and the U.S. Regardless of brand, the dealers unilaterally agreed that their most important goal with digital marketing is to achieve results and a reasonable return on investment. More than 80% of dealers surveyed also said SEO was the most important service they procure through external marketing partners, indicating not only the value that they place on organic website visitor traffic but also the gaps that exist in their internal digital marketing skill sets.
"Digital marketing plays an enormous role in the success of today's automotive dealers, from driving traffic to the lot to advancing the sales cycle through the use of digital strategies," said Troy Smith, president and founder, Search Optics. "The survey provides clear insight into the greatest challenges dealers face as the speed of digital change in our industry advances at a rapid rate, and winning more business depends heavily on their ability to keep pace."
Key findings from the survey include:
As part of the survey, Incept researchers asked dealers about their expectations and satisfaction levels when it comes to digital marketing service providers. More information on the survey findings is available on the Search Optics blog.

MLB trade news: Blue Jays acquire SS Aledmys Diaz from Cardinals
The Blue Jays have acquired shortstop Aledmys Diaz from the Cardinals.
We've acquired SS Aledmys Díaz from the Cardinals in exchange for Minor League OF J.B. Woodman.— Toronto Blue Jays (@BlueJays) December 2, 2017
An All-Star in 2016, Diaz has hit .283 with 24 homers, 85 RBI, and a .799 OPS in two MLB seasons. pic.twitter.com/nbVu1IIaIF
St. Louis acquired outfield prospect J.B. Woodman in return.
Diaz was an NL All-Star as a rookie in 2016, but thanks to poor performance throughout the season this year he was sent down to the minors and Paul DeJong took the position and ran with it.
Diaz has 24 home runs through two MLB seasons with a .283 average to boot. He batted .259 though in 2017.

Opportunities With Co-ops
Employment opportunities at cooperatives
Electric cooperatives developed their own co-op-tailored benefits over 60 years ago through the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), their national association. These benefits, which most, but not all, co-ops subscribe to, are the standard for all electric cooperative benefits. Whether you work for a small, mid-size or large electric cooperative, you will get the same level of benefits. NRECA benefits also are portable between co-ops that participate in their plans.
As a rule electric cooperatives offer competitive salaries and excellent benefits:
- Medical, dental and vision insurance
- Retirement plans
- Protective insurances, including life, AD&D (Accidental Death & Dismemberment, short and long-term disability
- Vacation, holidays, paid leave and sick leave
- Other benefits, depending upon the co-op, such as flexible spending accounts, service awards, wellness programs and more
Education and Training
Cooperatives are committed to giving employees opportunities to learn, grow and advance in their careers. Whether you are looking to increase your skill set, advance in your job or change jobs, you can take advantage of a full range of distance learning and professional accreditation and certifications programs, as well as professional development programs. Most electric co-ops offer tuition reimbursement to obtain a certification or degree.

What you still don't know about Chakras
What Are the Chakras?
Chakras are energetical centers, wheel-like vortexes of universal energy that flow throughout the body. There are 7 main chakras aligning up your spine.
The word in Sanskrit means wheel or disk. The concept descends from the Hindu-Buddhist tradition.
You can imagine the chakras like a whirling wheel of energy where matter and consciousness meet each other. This invisible energy is called Prana: it is a core life force that is able to keep us healthy and vibrant.
There are seven major energy centers and many small ones. Each corresponds to specific glands, organs, and aspects of your being.
There are two ways in which this energy flows through your system. Firstly, it rounds up and down along the central channel connecting each chakra. Secondly, there is a horizontal flow that exchanges energy with the Cosmos.
Disruptions in a chakras flow of energy can result in health, emotional, psychological and spiritual problems. It is essential that chakras stay open, aligned and fluid. If there is an obstruction, energy cannot flow normally. Consider that our bodies are in constant fluctuation between balance and imbalance.
The Seven Chakras:
1- Root chakra:
Location: base of the spine.
Related to: physical health, self-preservation, survival instincts, connection between our bodies and the Earth.
2- Sacral chakra:
Location: low abdomen, lower back, reproductive organs.
Related to: sexuality, emotions, eroticism, pleasure, creativity, sensation.
3- Solar plexus chakra:
Location: solar plexus (upper abdomen, between navel and sternum).
Related to: Ego, will, metabolism, personal power.
4- Heart chakra:
Location: center of the body (at heart level).
Related to: love, integration, compassion, healing, relationships.
5- Throat chakra:
Location: base of the throat.
Related to: communication, self-expression, creativity.
6- Brow chakra:
Location: forehead (slightly above the middle of the eyebrows).
Related to: both physical and intuitive/psychic sight, together with intellect.
7- Crown chakra:
Location: top of the head.

With online banking, automatic bill pay and electronic account management it's easy to manage your financial life digitally. Except when it comes to paying your taxes, a task which still requires quite a bit of physical documentation. When working with this type of sensitive financial information it's important to make sure you store and dispose of these documents responsibly to reduce your risk of fraud.
With tax season upon us, chances are you've been collecting and organizing an entire year's worth of financial documentation. Here are some tips to help ensure you store and dispose of your documents safely.
To Keep, or Not to Keep?
As a general rule, the IRS recommends keeping copies of your tax returns forever. As for the supporting documentation that goes with each return (like W-2's), there's a general statute of limitations that allows the IRS to audit your tax return up to 3 years after you file it. Once the 3 year period has expired, you can securely discard the documents. There are a few exceptions to this rule, so check out the IRS's website for complete details.
Under Lock and Key
Now that you know what to keep, it's best to store your financial documents in a fire-proof safe. It would also be smart to keep other important documents like your birth certificate, social security card, the deed to your house, important passwords and banking information in here too.
Here are a few worth checking in to:
1. This Fire-Safe Chest is smaller and a perfect "starter safe". It can store a few important documents and USB drives.
2. If you have several years' worth of information to store, consider the Sentry Safe Combination Safe. It's a little bigger and can accommodate more papers.
3. For maximum security, this Executive Fire Safe offers ample storage, is water and fire proof and can even be bolted to the floor.
Cut it
Out Up
When the time comes to get rid of some documents, make sure you do it responsibly. Simply tossing this paperwork in the trash makes you vulnerable to fraud, and identity thieves would love to get their hands on all your personal and financial information. To make it harder for this to land in the wrong hands, it's always a good idea to shred the sensitive documents.
Cross shredders provide an additional layer of security versus strip shredders, and we like these models for your home office:
1. The Ativa 12-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder shreds up to 12 sheets of paper at a time and can also destroy credit cards. This would be great if you're just destroying a few documents at a time.
2. For bigger jobs check out the Fellows Cross-Cut Shredder. Itis perfect for household use and has a 5-gallon wastebasket so you're not constantly emptying it.
3. If you've got a big job to tackle or anticipate shredding often, the Swingline Stack and Shred may be worth the investment. It can shred up to 100 pages at a time and runs automatically so you don't have to feed the sheets in individually.
Use this tax season to get your files organized. Use these tips to responsibly dispose of what you can, and safely store the rest. And don't forget, tax day is April 15!

Altec Lansing inMotion iM11
Today's Best Tech Deals
Picked by Macworld's Editors
Top Deals On Great Products
Picked by Techconnect's Editors
Altec Lansing inMotion iM11
Last fall we reviewed Altec Lansing's inMotion iM5, the company's lower-cost ($150) alternative to the popular $180 iM3. Altec Lansing continues to add systems to the inMotion line, and the new $100 iM11 is the least expensive iPod-docking inMotion system yet. (The company's iM4, designed for non-iPod portable audio players, is also priced at $100.) At 8.5" wide by 4.25" high by 1.4" deep when folded up for travel, the iM11 is also the smallest inMotion system that accommodates full-size iPods; only the inMotion iMmini, designed for the discontinued iPod mini, is smaller. (Don't be confused by the iM11's "high" model number -- there's no numerical logic to Altec Lansing's iM3/iM4/iM5/iM7/iM9/iM11 product naming scheme.)
Like the iM5, the iM11 achieves its lower price by offering fewer features and lesser sound quality than its more expensive siblings. The iM11 provides only a single speaker driver for each channel (left/right) -- as compared to the dual-driver design of the iM3 and iM5 -- and lacks a remote control. It also omits the video-output and subwoofer-output jacks of the iM5 and, instead of an electronic volume control, uses an analog volume slider. What you're left with is a basic, compact speaker system that will play your iPod's audio or (via a 1/8" minijack) that of a second audio source. You can also use the iM11's USB minijack to sync your iPod with your computer while docked.
The iM11 is powered by 4 AA batteries or the included AC adapter; your iPod is charged while the system is powered by the adapter. As with all the inMotion models, the adapter is an international version with an number of interchangeable wall plugs. The iM11 also includes battery-saving circuitry; if the system is running off batteries and no audio is detected for three minutes, the iM11 will automatically turn off. Unfortunately, like the iM5, the iM11 doesn't automatically pause or shut off your iPod when you turn the system off; instead, your iPod keeps playing -- something you may not realize until you try to try to listen again and your iPod's battery is dead.
The iM11's dock cradle is more similar to that of the older iM3 than the newer design found on the iM5, and that's a good thing. As mentioned in our review of the iM5, the iM5's cradle has a tendency to pop open accidentally during travel; the iM11's dock exhibited no such problems during my testing.
Finally, the iM11 package also includes a mini-to-mini stereo connector cable for connecting a second audio source; a USB cable for connecting the iM11 to your computer; 5 dock adapters for compatibility with all dockable iPods; and a padded carrying case that holds the iM11, power adapter, cables/adapters, and your iPod.
Overall, the iM11's sound quality corresponds to its place at the bottom of the iM line. Although it provides good detail, its small enclosure and single-driver speakers aren't capable of producing much bass, even compared to the just slightly thicker iM5. (And, unfortunately, the iM11 doesn't include a subwoofer output, so you can't use Altec Lansing's new BB2001 to add bass when listening at home.) Similarly, the iM11 can't play as loud as the iM5 or other iM models without distorting. I also heard a bit of hiss when the iM5 was on; although this noise wasn't noticeable from across the room, it was audible when the iM5 was sitting on a desk in front of me without music playing.
That said, the iM11 does have a couple sonic advantages over the more expensive iM5. The first is that the iM11's design angles its face upwards more than the iM5, which, thanks to the directionality of treble frequencies, results in better treble response when listening at a desk. The second is that, because the iM11 uses an analog volume control, it doesn't suffer from the "full blast at power-up" bug I experienced with the iM5. (I also found the analog volume slider to be easier to use than the iM5's rubber up/down buttons.)
My biggest criticism of the inMotion iM5 was that it didn't hold up well against similarly priced systems from other manufacturers. The iM11 fares better in this respect; although there are other $100 speaker systems out there that better the iM11 in some respects -- for example, the $100 Logic 3 i-Station will give you slightly better sound quality in a less compact package -- the iM11 is a decent addition to the inMotion line. In fact, overall, I prefer the iM11 to the "better" iM5; the iM11's sound quality isn't quite as good, and it's missing a couple useful output jacks, but its design feels more solid and at $50 less expensive, it's a better value. For those looking for a compact speaker system under $100, the iM11 is worth considering.--Dan Frakes

MJS 028 Zach Kessin
In this episode we have another JavaScript Story, this time our guest is Zach Kessin. Zach is a Developer and consultant. On the server side he works with Erlang and Elixir. On the front end he works on Elm. He also also written a few books for O'Reilly and a video course for Manning available sometime in the fall. He was a guest on episode 57 and is here with us today to tell us his story. Stay tuned!
[2:48] How did you get into programming.
Zack tells the story about how when he was 7 he asked his mother for a computer. She agreed that if he paid for half of it somehow, then she would help him get it. He Gathered his half by calling relatives and gathering funds. His mom taught him Basic and Logo. He also learned Pascal. While in University he picked up the book Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs and loved it. He talks about remembering writing a HTML forum but not knowing how to submit entries. After college he started working.
[4:38] Resources then vs now.
Charles adds that if you're tenacious enough to call your family members to find funding to buy a computer to learn, then you probably have the drive it takes to be a programmer. Charles and Zack talk about how in the 80s it was rare to have access to a computer, and now homes have multiple computers throughout. The resources are more readily available now with the internet. If you're looking to get into development, there are plenty of great resources.
[7:45] How did you get into JavaScript and Erlang?
Zach starts explaining by telling how he get into JavaScript before the internet really existed. His first JavaScript program exposure was a loan calculator at a bank. Early on the only thing you could do was validate forms, but over time it grew. He started working for a company writing php. He felt like it wasn't as functional or elegant as he was hoping for. He found various languages and landed on Erlang. Erland was designed to work for programming telephone switches. Due to phone services nature, It handles high scale, high reliability, has to be upgraded on the fly, etc. Zach talks about how server programming looks very similar to phone line programming. Zach adds that a few years ago he wanted work on some front end and after looking around finally he learned about Elm. He says that he is always looking for what's new and useful.
[14:26] Programming Languages Change the Way We Think
Charles points out that it's very interesting out about how functional programming has played out. He mentions that many JavaScript programmers use functional style programming to help with speed or efficiency. He adds that a fully functional programming language is very interesting and could be helpful. Zach talks about how learning new languages helps adjust the way we think.
[16:45] How have you contributed to the development community?
Charles starts off with mentioning Zach's podcast that was called Mostly Erlang. Zach adds that he has wrote two books for O' Reilly, one on HTML5 and Erlang. He has done some blogging and is creating a video course called Startup Elm. He mentions that he spends most of his time teaching. He admires people who write libraries and sustains them over years, but it isn't something he sees himself getting into. He adds that having the libraries are useless unless you have someone to communicate about it and teach it. Charles mentions that contributions come in various ways and the community needs those sort of teachers. Zach mentions that he often speaks at conferences and meet ups. Public speaking can be a great way to progress your career. Charles brings up the idea of "Sweeping the dojo floor". He was introduced to this idea by Dave Hoover. Sweeping the dojo floor means that you've got enough experience to talk about the topic, but maybe not fully contribute and so you do things like document code, or write articles and outreach for the topic. Talks can lead to work. You can easily find research papers and do talks on that. Zach adds that sometimes in a community, you see the same speakers over and over and new speakers are needed. Zach also mentions that there are plenty of opportunities to do talks in something other than english.
[26:36] What are you working on now?
Zach talks about the list of things he is working on. Starting with Startup Elm and it's live course that will be happening in October. He is also working on a SaSS product for Instagram marketers called SquareTarget. He adds that he has a day job as well.

An embattled Missouri state senator accused U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill of placing politics ahead of her support for minorities Friday after a racially charged court ruling sparked protests in St. Louis.
State Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, a University City Democrat, faced pressure from McCaskill and other Democratic Party leaders to resign after she said she wished for President Donald Trump's assassination in a Facebook post.
Chappelle-Nadal, who refused calls to resign and was reprimanded by the state Senate this week, criticized McCaskill Friday on Twitter after a St. Louis judge found former police officer Jason Stockley not guilty of first-degree murder in the 2011 shooting death of black motorist Anthony Lamar Smith.
McCaskill, a Democrat facing a tough re-election fight in 2018, said in a statement that some Missourians "are sure to be pained by today's decision, and others will agree with the ruling, but the fact is that none of us can let it detract from the goals that we all should share — safer streets, where police have the trust of the communities they serve, and a system of justice that's fair to all of our citizens."
Chappelle-Nadal quoted a Twitter user who called McCaskill's statement weak and insufficient. Chappelle-Nadal then added that McCaskill "certainly knows how to throw Black people under the bus when it's politically expedient."
McCaskill, who has been making overt appeals to Trump voters in recent months, called for Chappelle-Nadal's resignation immediately after her Facebook post on Trump. McCaskill's office declined to respond Friday to a question about the state senator's criticism.
Asked about the tweet, Chappelle-Nadal said in a text message, "Talk about trauma communities of color are experiencing due to police violence. That is the baseline of conversation. If you can't discuss that, there's no need to talk."
She also criticized the state Democratic Party in a separate tweet, posting the party's statement on the Stockley verdict that says the party is committed to "building communities that recognize that black lives matter." Chappelle-Nadal noted that that this statement came from the same party that "threw a Black senator under the bus instead of understanding the trauma of BLACK PEOPLE."
A spokesman for the state party declined to comment on Chappelle-Nadal's tweets about the party and McCaskill.

Homeless charity saves tax payers and society £5 million
Press Releases
Homeless charity saves tax payers and society £5 million
A report undertaken by experts at Oxford Economics found that Anchor House, a residential and lifeskills centre in Canning Town, Newham, provides £3.98 in benefits to society for every £1 invested in its operations.
Anchor House director, Keith Fernett, says the charity decided to put itself under the microscope in the lead up to its 17th October £9.3 million appeal launch to prove to its supporters how much of a difference they are indeed making.
"We are in the business of turning lives around and as a result of our work there are huge cost savings to society," Mr Fernett said. "Because of our grass-roots support we saved society up to £3.2 million from lower crime, £388,000 through increased employment and £225,000 by hosting Alcoholics Anonymous."
The report also found that Anchor House saved the NHS £22,000 in hospital admissions, £14,000 in hospital outpatient treatments, £10,000 in acute mental health services and £5,000 in A&E treatment.
The award winning and nationally acclaimed charity accommodates up to 180 single homeless people each year, and addresses the root causes of homelessness through training, education, volunteering and personal rehabilitation.
Monsignor John Armitage, the charity's chairman and Vicar General of Brentwood Diocese, says despite Anchor House being a small charity with limited resources and operating in one of England's most deprived boroughs, the results achieved are astounding.
"Last year 58 of our residents moved on to independent living, 32 were in employment and we trained more than 1,249 locals within the community," Monsignor John said. "We are foot soldiers of the Big Society initiative and this report proves that."
"Anchor House is a charity worthy of investment, not only because it succeeds and makes a difference, but because it is focused on helping society's most marginalised and vulnerable who are often over looked."
Andrew Logan from Oxford Economic says social return on investment (SROI) is a popular metric used to quantify the positive impacts charities and other types of institutions generate per £1 invested, however there is still very few charities taking advantage of it.
"To calculate the SROI a charity needs to monetarise the economic, social and environmental outcomes that its efforts produce over the time of investment and then divide it by the costs," Mr Logan said. "This isn't an easy task and can be off-putting for charities with limited time and resources."
"But in comparison to other SROI studies of homeless projects which have been conducted in the UK, Anchor House was found to provide an exceptional high return to society."

Anchor House is a nationally acclaimed flagship project addressing the root causes of homelessness: deprivation; drug addiction; mental illness; unemployment; lack of skills/education and crime. It is a registered charity providing accommodation for up to 180 single homeless people each year. It also provides a wide range of accredited vocational training courses in construction, electrical, plumbing and distance learning for both residents and the local community.
The charity is located in Canning Town, in the London Borough of Newham, the third most deprived borough in England and Wales.
In 2010 Anchor House achieved:
- 95% of residents were involved in positive transitional activities
- 32 residents obtained part-time or full-time employment
- 58 residents moved on to independent living.
Last year, Anchor House was recognised as a centre of National Excellence and was awarded five National Training Awards by the UK Skills Council, including our Head of Employment and Education, Aggrie Chikiwa (a former resident), being awarded UK's Individual Trainer of the Year.
It was also awarded the Charity Times Award for Best Use of Technology and was a finalist in the Third Sector Excellence Awards for Financial Management. In 2006 and 2008, it won the Michael Whippman Award for Innovation in Homelessness.

Published earlier this year, PCI DSS 3.2 is the latest version of the standard we all know and love (well, know at least) and has been designed to ensure that security standards are developing and innovating at the same rate as the technology we use and the threats we face.
If you're responsible for compliance at your contact centre, here's everything you need to know about the changes…
So, What's New?
Many of the changes found in PCI DSS 3.2 are simply extensions to, or expansions of, the requirements that were already featured in 3.1; however, there are some greater themes.
The biggest of these is making sure that organisations are working on PCI DSS compliance all year round, rather than only getting everything shipshape for their yearly assessment.
For example, new requirements state that organisations must provide quarterly reviews demonstrating that employees understand and are following the correct security procedures; that a change-management process must be implemented to ensure any changes to a system (such as new apps, programs or devices) are monitored and compliant; and that DESV requirements will now be incorporated into PCI DSS.
There is also a much bigger emphasis on ensuring service providers do not compromise the security of their customers and that their compliance can also be demonstrated on a regular basis. For example, service providers will now have to report system failures, establish a structured PCI DSS compliance programme (with defined responsibilities at executive management level) and perform penetration testing every six months at a minimum.
Lastly, one of the biggest changes from PCI DSS 3.1 is that multi-factor authentication will now be a requirement for all non-console administrative personnel, rather than just those accessing data remotely.
What is DESV?
DESV, or Designated Entities Supplemental Validation, is like a more advanced version of PCI DSS that is sometimes required by payment brands or acquirers to ensure maximum data security on a regular basis (rather than just for PCI DSS assessments).
While DESV assessments will still only be necessary if requested by an acquirer or payment brand, incorporating the regulations into PCI DSS 3.2 is intended to encourage organisations to see whether the standards could be applied to their own systems, and to promote year-round vigilance.
What is Multi-Factor Authentication?
Multi-factor authentication is the process by which someone has to supply two or more examples of authorisation or identification in order to be granted access to sensitive material or systems. These can include passwords, security cards, fobs or biometrics.
In previous iterations of PCI DSS, personnel have been required to undergo two-factor authentication when acting remotely, but PCI DSS 3.2 now states that multi-factor authentication will be a requirement for all non-console personnel accessing data or changing systems from anywhere, including within their organisation's trusted network or data safe zone.
Changing the name from two-factor to multi-factor has been done to demonstrate that two levels of authentication are now the bare minimum.
When is All This Happening?
While the previous PCI DSS 3.1 officially retired on October 31st, the changes aren't as scary as that date might suggest; organisations have until February 1st 2018 to implement all 3.2 requirements and any changes will be considered 'best practice' until then (although the PCI Security Standards Council does recommend adopting the standard ASAP for your own security and peace of mind).
What Do I Need to Do Now?
The good news is that, if you're already working with us here at PCI Pal, a large part of the work is done as we are already fully PCI DSS 3.2 compliant.
If not, there's no need to worry unduly; as we mentioned before, all organisations have until 1st February 2018 to make sure they're compliant, so you have plenty of time to implement any necessary changes. We would, however, recommend getting started as soon as possible – partly because the new requirement for more regular monitoring and reporting will make upcoming PCI DSS assessments a lot easier.
It's always good practice to make sure your security systems and procedures are as up-to-date as possible and functioning as they should be, so take this opportunity to review and reassess the way your contact centre handles and stores data and the way this data is accessed.
Reevaluate your security systems and start testing them regularly, both to get into the habit of compliance and to keep your data as secure as possible. If you do use third-party service providers, it's also a good idea to check that they're aware of and implementing the new regulations that apply to them, to ensure that they're protecting your customers' data as effectively as you are.

Throughout the year we make many personal goals and promises to ourselves. This may include getting fit, eating healthy, growing a business, spending more time outdoors and less on social media, to be more positive or to simply save money. So why is it that we set these new goals and expectations and are unable to follow through with them?
Although our goals may have the best intentions, it's challenging to make a change to our everyday habitual routine. We have become so familiar and comfortable with what we do daily, doing something different would feel abnormal. Change can be tough and that is why many of us wait until the New Year to start something new. We have come up with 10 attainable, easy and achievable New Year's resolutions that you can do to create a healthier, happier and positive YOU.
Here are 10 Attainable New Years Resolutions!
1. Yoga
We can't say enough good things about practising yoga! If you are familiar with our City Top 10 Blog you know that we are yoga-obsessed and like to mention it whenever humanly possible. Yoga has a ton of health benefits to improve your over all state of being. It increases your flexibility, creates mental clarity and calmness, relieves chronic pain, increases body awareness, forms better posture and balance, strengthens and tones all of the muscles in your body and promotes a healthy respiratory system through the breath.
2. Drink Hot Lemon Water Every Morning
Drinking one cup of hot lemon water each morning is so beneficial! It's like a refreshing wake up call for your gut, muscles and organs. It has been well known that drinking lemon water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach flushes the body's internal system and cleanses the colon. This allows the body to be able to absorb much more nutrients from food. Bring on the nutritional breakfast!
Read more about the healthy benefits of lemon water on our blog post: Top 10 Benefits of Drinking Lemon Water.
3. Random Acts of Kindness: Compliments
Who doesn't love a nice compliment? Have you ever been on the receiving end of a compliment or act of kindness before? Remember how it made you feel? The world needs more of that.
I remember when I was pregnant with our first daughter, I had a customer approach me at work that I had only had a few encounters with, he said to me "You are going to make a great mother. She is very lucky to have you". It was a moment in my life where time stood still and one that I will remember for the rest of my life. Whenever motherhood gets tough – I remember what this stranger said to me and it gives me that extra little bit of strength I need. Something so simple, yet so profound.
It is scientifically known that the health benefits associated to acts of kindness increases productivity, decreased stress, pain and insomnia,as well as, beneficial effects to the immune system and production of serotonin. Best of all? Smiling burns calories!
Spread a little more love and kindness this year.
4. Meditation
Meditation encompasses techniques that induce relaxation, cultivate internal energy, develop compassion and encourage forgiveness. It clears the mind and promotes awareness.Meditation helps lower blood pressure, eases tension-induced pain, boost serotonin production and increases energy levels. It helps ease anxiety, builds emotional stability, boosts creativity and induces a sense of happiness
Check out our blog post on 10 Reasons Why You Should Meditate Daily for more health benefits!
5. Say No to Processed Foods and Sugar
Say YES to healthy, nutritious alternatives! Sugar is a sneaky little ingredient that likes to find it's way into almost ALL processed foods to make it, well, taste better. Food should be able to taste great using natural sugars and wholefoods.
If eliminating processed foods and sugar from your diet is something you feel would benefit you, check out our blog post on the Top 10 Benefits of Quitting Sugar for Good for more health benefits!
6. Meal Plan/Prep
What is meal prepping? Whether it is lunch for work or dinner for the family, meal planning and prepping is to set aside the time to prepare all or most of your meals for the week and store them. We believe you can save time, money and be incredibly good for your health!
It's been a long day at work, you've picked up the kids from school and its time to make dinner. Most of the time its easier to throw in a frozen pizza that we all know gives everyone unmentionable heartburn. Or your lunch break has finally arrived (thank goodness!) and you didn't pack anything because you were savoring every minute of sleep in the morning.
This is where we believe doing a simple meal prep for the week can be a timeless healthy option for lunch and/or dinner throughout the week. Sunday afternoon, commit the time to researching recipes that you can make several portions with that will last you the week.
Here are a few favourite recipes that we love and are super tasty!
- Chickpea Tuna Sandwich – A Vegan Tuna Sandwich You'll Love by Jannine at Happy Stylish & Fit (a local blogger from Victoria, BC). It's easy to make, requires simple ingredients, is vegan friendly and we feel, would make an excellent lunch!
- How to Prep – Salmon by Lacey at A Sweet Pea Chef (a local blogger from Austin, Texas). An easy salmon recipe for just $6 per meal! Save money and eat healthy!
- 18 Mason Jar Salads That Make Perfect Healthy Lunches by Carolyn Kylstra at BuzzFeed. These make excellent and delicious light, healthy lunches for the week.
7. Read a New Book Each Month
Reading everyday is over all fantastic for your brain health. The benefits of reading include: mental stimulation, reduces stress, increases knowledge and vocabulary, improves memory, creates strong analytical thinking skills, improves focus and concentration and aids in better writing skills.
Plus, how awesome it is to say "Yup, I have read all those books on my book case" Pretty awesome.
8. Start a New Fitness Routine
Many of us can lose focus and motivation at the gym after weeks and weeks of the stair climber and elliptical. Our advice? Try signing up at a gym that offers classes like yoga, Zumba, Pilates, spin, boxing and/or weight lifting. Another option would be to sign up for a fitness program like a dance class, boxing or martial arts studio. This way you will have something to look forward too each week, it will give you the opportunity to have fun while working out and meet people within your community.
9. Monthly D.I.Y Projects
Exploring the internet or Pinterest for do it yourself projects is a great way to spark some creativity, ideas and use your imagination. Make a goal of making a DIY project once a month 🙂
10. Sunday Walks
Did you know a simple walk around the neighborhood can increase your mood? Fresh air is everything! Walking is known to increase cardiovascular and pulmonary (heart and lung) fitness, reduce the risk of chronic disease, creates stronger bones and improves balance.
Why not make a pack with yourself or a loved one to go on a walk or hike every Sunday. This way, no matter what kind of week you've had, come Sunday you'll get some fresh air, exercise and spend some quality time with a spouse or friend.
Have you tried any of the above New Years Resolutions before? What do you have planned for 2020? Are there any considerably easy resolutions we may have forgot? Let us know in the comment section below!

PASADENA >> A former Mexican municipal police officer will stand trial this week on suspicion of killing a Caltech custodian in 1995.
Raul Alcazar Romero, 57, is charged with one count of murder in the death of Javier Francisco Mora, a custodian who was in a relationship with Romero's estranged wife, according to prosecutors.
Romero's wife was also a Caltech custodian.
The killing on April 21, 1995, was the first and only murder in the history of the Pasadena campus.
Prosecutors believe Romero fled to Mexico immediately after the killing, where he worked as a municipal police officer.
He was arrested by Mexican authorities in July 2010 in Ajijic, Jalisco, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
He was extradited from Mexico in March 2012, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
Pasadena police investigated the case and issued a $1 million bail arrest warrant for Romero almost immediately after the killing. Investigators in the L.A. County District Attorney's Office cracked the case after developing information about Romero's whereabouts in Mexico.
Mora, 36, of Pasadena, was shot to death on the southern edge of the Caltech campus in a driveway between a student housing complex and a laboratory building.
Mora and Romero's wife were having lunch together on a retaining wall when, according to police, Romero drove up in a white Nissan Sentra.
The suspect spoke to the pair before opening fire. The bullets struck Mora several times in the back, police said.
Romero is also subject to a special allegation that he used a firearm in committing the crime, which would mean additional sentencing penalties if he is convicted.
Jury selection for the trial is expected to begin Tuesday in Pasadena Superior Court.
Romero has been held on $5 million bail.
If convicted, he faces a life sentence, according to the District Attorney's Office.
