How to set up LLVM-style RTTI for your class hierarchy
LLVM avoids using C++'s built in RTTI. Instead, it pervasively uses its own hand-rolled form of RTTI which is much more efficient and flexible, although it requires a bit more work from you as a class author.
A description of how to use LLVM-style RTTI from a client's perspective is given in the Programmer's Manual. This document, in contrast, discusses the steps you need to take as a class hierarchy author to make LLVM-style RTTI available to your clients.
Before diving in, make sure that you are familiar with the Object Oriented Programming concept of "is-a".
Basic Setup
This section describes how to set up the most basic form of LLVM-style RTTI (which is sufficient for 99.9% of the cases). We will set up LLVM-style RTTI for this class hierarchy:
class Shape { public: Shape() {} virtual double computeArea() = 0; }; class Square : public Shape { double SideLength; public: Square(double S) : SideLength(S) {} double computeArea() override; }; class Circle : public Shape { double Radius; public: Circle(double R) : Radius(R) {} double computeArea() override; };
The most basic working setup for LLVM-style RTTI requires the following steps:
In the header where you declare Shape, you will want to #include "llvm/Support/Casting.h", which declares LLVM's RTTI templates. That way your clients don't even have to think about it.
#include "llvm/Support/Casting.h"
In the base class, introduce an enum which discriminates all of the different concrete classes in the hierarchy, and stash the enum value somewhere in the base class.
Here is the code after introducing this change:
class Shape { public: + /// Discriminator for LLVM-style RTTI (dyn_cast<> et al.) + enum ShapeKind { + SK_Square, + SK_Circle + }; +private: + const ShapeKind Kind; +public: + ShapeKind getKind() const { return Kind; } + Shape() {} virtual double computeArea() = 0; };
You will usually want to keep the Kind member encapsulated and private, but let the enum ShapeKind be public along with providing a getKind() method. This is convenient for clients so that they can do a switch over the enum.
A common naming convention is that these enums are "kind"s, to avoid ambiguity with the words "type" or "class" which have overloaded meanings in many contexts within LLVM. Sometimes there will be a natural name for it, like "opcode". Don't bikeshed over this; when in doubt use Kind.
You might wonder why the Kind enum doesn't have an entry for Shape. The reason for this is that since Shape is abstract (computeArea() = 0;), you will never actually have non-derived instances of exactly that class (only subclasses). See Concrete Bases and Deeper Hierarchies for information on how to deal with non-abstract bases. It's worth mentioning here that unlike dynamic_cast<>, LLVM-style RTTI can be used (and is often used) for classes that don't have v-tables.
Next, you need to make sure that the Kind gets initialized to the value corresponding to the dynamic type of the class. Typically, you will want to have it be an argument to the constructor of the base class, and then pass in the respective XXXKind from subclass constructors.
Here is the code after that change:
class Shape { public: /// Discriminator for LLVM-style RTTI (dyn_cast<> et al.) enum ShapeKind { SK_Square, SK_Circle }; private: const ShapeKind Kind; public: ShapeKind getKind() const { return Kind; } - Shape() {} + Shape(ShapeKind K) : Kind(K) {} virtual double computeArea() = 0; }; class Square : public Shape { double SideLength; public: - Square(double S) : SideLength(S) {} + Square(double S) : Shape(SK_Square), SideLength(S) {} double computeArea() override; }; class Circle : public Shape { double Radius; public: - Circle(double R) : Radius(R) {} + Circle(double R) : Shape(SK_Circle), Radius(R) {} double computeArea() override; };
Finally, you need to inform LLVM's RTTI templates how to dynamically determine the type of a class (i.e. whether the isa<>/dyn_cast<> should succeed). The default "99.9% of use cases" way to accomplish this is through a small static member function classof. In order to have proper context for an explanation, we will display this code first, and then below describe each part:
class Shape { public: /// Discriminator for LLVM-style RTTI (dyn_cast<> et al.) enum ShapeKind { SK_Square, SK_Circle }; private: const ShapeKind Kind; public: ShapeKind getKind() const { return Kind; } Shape(ShapeKind K) : Kind(K) {} virtual double computeArea() = 0; }; class Square : public Shape { double SideLength; public: Square(double S) : Shape(SK_Square), SideLength(S) {} double computeArea() override; + + static bool classof(const Shape *S) { + return S->getKind() == SK_Square; + } }; class Circle : public Shape { double Radius; public: Circle(double R) : Shape(SK_Circle), Radius(R) {} double computeArea() override; + + static bool classof(const Shape *S) { + return S->getKind() == SK_Circle; + } };
The job of classof is to dynamically determine whether an object of a base class is in fact of a particular derived class. In order to downcast a type Base to a type Derived, there needs to be a classof in Derived which will accept an object of type Base.
To be concrete, consider the following code:
Shape *S = ...; if (isa<Circle>(S)) { /* do something ... */ }
The code of the isa<> test in this code will eventually boil down---after template instantiation and some other machinery---to a check roughly like Circle::classof(S). For more information, see :ref:`classof-contract`.
The argument to classof should always be an ancestor class because the implementation has logic to allow and optimize away upcasts/up-isa<>'s automatically. It is as though every class Foo automatically has a classof like:
class Foo { [...] template <class T> static bool classof(const T *, ::std::enable_if< ::std::is_base_of<Foo, T>::value >::type* = 0) { return true; } [...] };
Note that this is the reason that we did not need to introduce a classof into Shape: all relevant classes derive from Shape, and Shape itself is abstract (has no entry in the Kind enum), so this notional inferred classof is all we need. See Concrete Bases and Deeper Hierarchies for more information about how to extend this example to more general hierarchies.
Although for this small example setting up LLVM-style RTTI seems like a lot of "boilerplate", if your classes are doing anything interesting then this will end up being a tiny fraction of the code.
Concrete Bases and Deeper Hierarchies
For concrete bases (i.e. non-abstract interior nodes of the inheritance tree), the Kind check inside classof needs to be a bit more complicated. The situation differs from the example above in that
- Since the class is concrete, it must itself have an entry in the Kind enum because it is possible to have objects with this class as a dynamic type.
- Since the class has children, the check inside classof must take them into account.
Say that SpecialSquare and OtherSpecialSquare derive from Square, and so ShapeKind becomes:
enum ShapeKind { SK_Square, + SK_SpecialSquare, + SK_OtherSpecialSquare, SK_Circle }
Then in Square, we would need to modify the classof like so:
- static bool classof(const Shape *S) { - return S->getKind() == SK_Square; - } + static bool classof(const Shape *S) { + return S->getKind() >= SK_Square && + S->getKind() <= SK_OtherSpecialSquare; + }
The reason that we need to test a range like this instead of just equality is that both SpecialSquare and OtherSpecialSquare "is-a" Square, and so classof needs to return true for them.
This approach can be made to scale to arbitrarily deep hierarchies. The trick is that you arrange the enum values so that they correspond to a preorder traversal of the class hierarchy tree. With that arrangement, all subclass tests can be done with two comparisons as shown above. If you just list the class hierarchy like a list of bullet points, you'll get the ordering right:
| Shape | Square | SpecialSquare | OtherSpecialSquare | Circle
A Bug to be Aware Of
The example just given opens the door to bugs where the classofs are not updated to match the Kind enum when adding (or removing) classes to (from) the hierarchy.
Continuing the example above, suppose we add a SomewhatSpecialSquare as a subclass of Square, and update the ShapeKind enum like so:
enum ShapeKind { SK_Square, SK_SpecialSquare, SK_OtherSpecialSquare, + SK_SomewhatSpecialSquare, SK_Circle }
Now, suppose that we forget to update Square::classof(), so it still looks like:
static bool classof(const Shape *S) { // BUG: Returns false when S->getKind() == SK_SomewhatSpecialSquare, // even though SomewhatSpecialSquare "is a" Square. return S->getKind() >= SK_Square && S->getKind() <= SK_OtherSpecialSquare; }
As the comment indicates, this code contains a bug. A straightforward and non-clever way to avoid this is to introduce an explicit SK_LastSquare entry in the enum when adding the first subclass(es). For example, we could rewrite the example at the beginning of Concrete Bases and Deeper Hierarchies as:
enum ShapeKind { SK_Square, + SK_SpecialSquare, + SK_OtherSpecialSquare, + SK_LastSquare, SK_Circle } ... // Square::classof() - static bool classof(const Shape *S) { - return S->getKind() == SK_Square; - } + static bool classof(const Shape *S) { + return S->getKind() >= SK_Square && + S->getKind() <= SK_LastSquare; + }
Then, adding new subclasses is easy:
enum ShapeKind { SK_Square, SK_SpecialSquare, SK_OtherSpecialSquare, + SK_SomewhatSpecialSquare, SK_LastSquare, SK_Circle }
Notice that Square::classof does not need to be changed.
The Contract of classof
To be more precise, let classof be inside a class C. Then the contract for classof is "return true if the dynamic type of the argument is-a C". As long as your implementation fulfills this contract, you can tweak and optimize it as much as you want.
For example, LLVM-style RTTI can work fine in the presence of multiple-inheritance by defining an appropriate classof. An example of this in practice is Decl vs. DeclContext inside Clang. The Decl hierarchy is done very similarly to the example setup demonstrated in this tutorial. The key part is how to then incorporate DeclContext: all that is needed is in bool DeclContext::classof(const Decl *), which asks the question "Given a Decl, how can I determine if it is-a DeclContext?". It answers this with a simple switch over the set of Decl "kinds", and returning true for ones that are known to be DeclContext's.
Rules of Thumb
- The Kind enum should have one entry per concrete class, ordered according to a preorder traversal of the inheritance tree.
- The argument to classof should be a const Base *, where Base is some ancestor in the inheritance hierarchy. The argument should never be a derived class or the class itself: the template machinery for isa<> already handles this case and optimizes it.
- For each class in the hierarchy that has no children, implement a classof that checks only against its Kind.
- For each class in the hierarchy that has children, implement a classof that checks a range of the first child's Kind and the last child's Kind.

Today was a great day. Almost all of the old knob and tube is gone. The Electrical Inspection has passed in one try and we are closer to finishing this portion of the job.
I am amazed when I walked in today and saw that all of the wires have been run. Including some last minute changes including running an ethernet connection to the kitchen for a second router which will mainly be used for backyard wifi and handling the Sprint Airave. The cell reception is awful in this area, so the Airave is a femtocell used to boost the cell signal through the internet connection. We also ran an extra HDMI outlet to the backyard deck for those nights we might want to watch a Lakers game or scary movie outside.
I asked our electrician again just how dangerous knob and tube wiring is and he mentioned if it hasn't been touched it is fine. But once you have someone playing Mickey Mouse that's where the problems start. He mentioned that the connection done from the knob and tube to romex in the attic was a fire just waiting to happen. Not to mention that insurance wasn't going to cover the house unless we were in the process of having the rewiring done.
Next up is for the painters to start patching the many many many holes in every room and start painting. Nothing out of the ordinary has come up. Though I would imagine if someone bought this house without the separate inspections they may have been in for some shock at what needed to be done.

The nature of your job has a significant impact on your risk of an on-the-job accident. However, any person could be a victim of injuries suffered at work, whether that individual works at an office or on a construction site. One of the great risks you could be facing may not be the risk of injury, but rather the chance of contracting an occupational illness.
Plan to Achieve Self-Support work incentive program
A previous blog post discussed some ways in which Ohioans who continue to work, despite their disabilities, may continue to receive SSI benefits. Another important SSI work incentive is the Social Security Administration's (SSA) Plan to Achieve Self Support (PASS) program. PASS is for those who plan to achieve self-support and reduce their dependence on SSI/SSD benefits.
How does income affect SSI benefits?
The Social Security Administration provides supplemental security income benefits to those who are age 65 and older, blind or disabled and have little income or resources. Having income below state-determined income limits is one requirement for obtaining and retaining SSI. However, there are certain work incentive programs that allow recipients to continue receiving benefits while they are working if they meet certain SSA requirements.
Ohio BWC gives $732,000 in workplace safety grants
The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) has given 29 Ohio employers over $732,000 in safety grants through the Safety Intervention Grant program. These employers, from over 19 counties in Ohio, including Franklin County, must now purchase equipment designed to reduce workplace injuries.
Ohio company faces penalties for OSHA violations
The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration's investigations into an Ohio company revealed multiple safety violations. Amsted Rail Company Inc., a manufacturer of cast steel freight components, has now been placed in OSHA's Severe Violator Program and faces a penalty of over $600,000.
Workers' compensation benefits available in Ohio
Workers' compensation is a system that compensates employees for workplace injuries. Contrary to other types of personal injury claims, workers' compensation does not provide compensation for pain and suffering. The two types of compensation available under workers' compensation in Ohio are medical benefits and wage benefits.

Along with her signature cleaning hacks, Sophie's stunning home interiors taste is often heralded as "home goals" by her "Hinch Army" of likeminded cleaning obsessives.
Having experienced first-hand the calming powers of cleaning, Sophie would work through a to-do list of chores and found that "getting through them was so rewarding."
"Because by the end, I felt like I had done what I set out to do and had achieved something."
And it's precisely this positive attitude which has inspired her followers to overhaul their cleaning habits and evaluate their mental health.
Sophie added: "I thought personally it was just me but I never realised how many men and women out there suffer with anxiety. They've all said that this has helped them beyond belief."
But above all, there's one simple chore that Mrs Hinch can't go to sleep at night without completing... and she's even convinced her "Hinch Army" to follow suit.
Although "putting the sink to bed" simply "started as joke" among Sophie and her followers, the daily night-time routine has now spiralled into a regimental end of the day step which has brought them "all closer".
But what does "putting the sink to bed" actually entail?
Sophie revealed that night-after-night her and her thousands of followers "do all the washing up, spray the sink so it's clean and make sure that all the clothes are put together and settled."
And while Sophie admits that it "sounds silly", the nightly routine works wonders for both her and her followers' mental health.
As a newly-wedded wife to sales manager husband Jamie, 39, Sophie "is really looking forward" to having children as a means of bonding with her followers who are mothers.
Home Bargains is selling a Mrs Hinch-inspired cleaning range… but there's one sold-out £2.50 product that's going for £30 on Amazon.
Online cleaning sensation Mrs Hinch sends followers into a frenzy over her mesmerising sink cleaning hacks.
Online cleaning sensation Mrs Hinch reveals the one product you need for a sparkling hob…. and you can pick it up in Poundstretcher.

One of my fans has this switch where you can make it feel like a natural breeze. Had the door open all day long. And the damned fan sounds kinda like surf crashing on a beach! And I wonder why I feel distracted. *no. I don't*
I moved a lamp this week. Well, okay, it was just yesterday. I've had this strand of fishing line for ages. It has seven little two sided mirrors down it's length. When I moved in to this place , I sank a hook into the overhang over the bar and sink. That stupid lamp has been up against it since I moved it down to that end of the counter, right? So now the line is free again and moves with the AC or whatever movement I've got. Sunlight (of course) reflects off of these things at a few strange angles. So it looks like there is movement where there oughtn't be. Catch it out of the corner of my eye occasionally. It's disconcerting.
I like the dang thing, that's why I put it up there. So it would catch the breeze. But apparently it's been still just long enough for me to get used to THAT! Just an observation. Of course at night, it IS less distracting. Heh.
Still drinking less. As a result, I do other things that are bad (relative term) for me, less of the time as well.
So One Of Me is winning.
I'm just not sure which one of me it is!
I just stopped going out nearly every night. And I do feel better. Still getting some late night texts and the odd phone call. I think I'm sleeping a bit better. Schedule is still mostly upside down.
Dead Tech?
My Sony Dash went offline today or yesterday. I think I've heard the Chumby network was going off line for good. Reckon Sony will just let that product just die? Think most of the apps were Chumby centric. So maybe.
And yes. I did. Restart it. A few times. Bleh. I used to BE Tech support. I know what I'm doin'
Oh Canada
Haven't heard from the Canadians. And that's okay. Maybe they decided they'd had enough company for this year. I'm all right with that. Got other things I should be concentrating on any way.
And it's not like we've talked much over the last year or two. No phone calls or even email. I reached out. At least I didn't get bitten. Cool.
No Thanks, I'm Just Browsin'
Been giving Safari and Chrome browsers a try. Frickin' FireFox seems to have become so bloated as to become unusable. It hangs up in the strangest places.
Safari has some Mac driven quirks I ain't crazy about.
Chrome seems very fast and it integrates well with Google's app suite. It's got some weirdo crap too.
Maybe I'm just spoiled by FF extensions. But I'm also exasperated by performance issues with the last few releases.

Fundamental Interpersonal Relationship Orientation (FIRO-B)® is a comprehensive and widely used theory of interpersonal relations created by William Schutz* in 1958. He originally devised the theory to measure and predict the interaction between people for the purpose of assembling highly productive teams with better communication and understanding among people.
Schutz held the view that 'people need people' in order to feel satisfied with their life. The theory of the FIRO-B is based on his belief that when people get together in a group (for example a family or group of people) they aim to satisfy three interpersonal needs; Inclusion, Control and Affection.
FIRO-B provides an insight into the extent individuals are willing and comfortable with expressing these behaviours towards each other, and how comfortable they are when these behaviours are expressed to them in return.
It is a powerful tool, which has been held up to extensive research and has proven to be:
- Simple: Easy to use in helping individuals, families, teams, and organisations; easy to incorporate into training, consulting and coaching
- Powerful: For understanding human behaviour and motivation in a wide variety of situations
- Comprehensive: Three basic dimensions—inclusion, control and openness— describe the dynamics of individuals, pairs, families, teams and organizations, eliminating the need for multiple models.
The FIRO-B specifically measures:
Expressed Behaviour
I make effort to …
Make effort to include others in activities
Try to belong
Be with people as much as possible
Try to exert control and influence over things
Enjoy organising things and directing others
Make an effort to get close to people
Comfortable expressing personal feelings
Supportive of others
Wanted Behaviour
I want other people to …
Want other people to include you
Invite me to belong
Enjoy when others notice you
Feel most comfortable working in well-defined situations
Try to get clear expectations
Want others to act warmly towards you
Enjoy it when people share their feelings
Encourage your efforts
Personal and professional benefits
Because the FIRO-B can increase the ability of an individual to understand three key interpersonal need areas, it is well suited in both one-to-one and team settings in the following areas:
- Personal development
- Individual executive business coaching at all levels
- Leadership and management development
- Awareness of fit to future role
- Senior level assessment
- Relationship with stakeholders and clients
- Conflict management
- Raising self-awareness
- Team development
- Interpersonal development
- Workplace relationships
*William Schutz (1925 – 2002)
Psychologist and pioneer of the human potential movement, introduced in 1958 in the book "FIRO: A Three-Dimensional Theory of Interpersonal Behavior".

In this ever-transforming world, everything has a fix. Be it yours under grown eyebrows. People with not so dense eyebrow hair need not worry anymore. Microblading or brow tattooing has emerged as an answer to those facing lack of confidence due to almost invisible eyebrows.
We all want dense and thick brows to look prettier. It is fact that fully grown brows make your eyes look deeper and attractive. Use of cosmetics such as brow pencils to camouflage thinly grown eyebrow hair is a popular practice. But with a revolutionary technology like microblading making headway into the beauty industry, one can easily catch up with the growing trend of dense brows. This procedure is also called brow tattooing and is becoming a catchy trend.
What is microblading?
A technique which tattoos color pigment deposits to fill hair gaps in the eyebrows area. Micro blading is fast trending cosmetic procedure to get thick brows in preferred shape, stroke and color. Also, called micro stroking, this technique is completely safe and easy in application. However, once you go for this procedure, you need to follow some strict dos and donts. Avoiding wash for up to 10 days, sun exposure and sweat control are some of the precautions, one needs to follow ardently.
Let us tell you that this procedure, unlike any other cosmetic procedures, is not permanent. Microblading tends to fade away with time. It lasts for upto18 months depending upon the kind of exposure and product used, which may cause the fading.
Now, we will tell how microblading procedure is performed and its main features before you decide upon on getting it done.
- A fine pen with about 15 microblades contains ink pigments which ink the hair-like strokes on the brow area when applied.
- Brows look completely natural and it takes only a couple of hours to do this procedure.
- Choice of shape, color, stroke, and density depends on the person who wants go for this.
- Your natural brows remain unaffected when the brow color fades away.
- Microbladed brows can be easily removed by the help of a dermatologist.
- This is a safe non-surgical procedure so no need to worry!

Missing MH370 wreckage may be further north: study
[PARIS] Just days after authorities mooted suspending the ocean search for missing flight MH370, researchers suggested on Wednesday that the debris zone may stretch a further 500km north.
A team of Italian scientists used computer modelling, into which they fed data on ocean currents and winds over the past two years, to try and pinpoint the Malaysia Airlines plane's likely underwater grave.
They also added information on the location of five confirmed pieces of debris found to date - two in Mozambique and one each in Reunion, South Africa, and Mauritius.
"One of the most important findings is that everything that has been discovered so far is indeed compatible with the area where the authorities are searching," lead researcher Eric Jansen of the Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change in Italy told AFP.
"The most likely (crash) area we found in our simulations overlaps with the official search area," he said. But it also stretches a further 500 km north.
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at email@example.com
"If nothing is found in the current search area, it may be worth extending the search in this direction," said Mr Jansen, while conceding "the area is very large."
Last week, Malaysia, Australia and China said hopes of finding the doomed plane were fading and the search would be suspended if nothing is found in the current search zone.
The Boeing 777 vanished on March 8, 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, with 239 people aboard. It remains one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history.
The Australian-led search operation is scanning the seafloor at forbidding depths within a 120,000 sq km area - nearly the size of Greece.
"I don't really expect that the authorities will change their opinion based on this" new data, said Jansen.
"The search is incredibly expensive and has being going on for two years," he said, adding: "it is, of course, a question of money."
Mr Jansen described the disappearance of the plane as "bizarre".
"It is important to understand what happened, not only for all the people directly involved, but also for the safety of aviation in general," he said in a statement issued by the European Geosciences Union, which publishes the Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences journal in which the study was carried.
"We hope that we can contribute to this, even if our study is just a small piece of a very complicated puzzle."

The smoke has begun to clear in Oslo and Utøya Island in Norway from Friday's deadly attacks. So far, 93 people have been confirmed killed, and hundreds injured, including personal friends of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and the stepbrother of Norway's crown princess Mette-Marit.
The Norwegian Police Service arrested Anders Behring Breivik, a Norwegian man, for the shootings on Utøya and have charged him with both attacks.
As the country copes with the grief of these attacks, travelers with plans to visit Norway may well be feeling anxious about any upcoming trips. These concerns, say Frode Andersen, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, are unfounded.
"There should be no reason to cancel a trip," Andersen told Travel Agent. "Norway has some of the lowest crime rates in the world, and from what we hear about this horrible incident, it is the act of an isolated madman."
Statistics, he continues, say that Norway is in fact one of the safest places in the world when it comes to crime, especially violent crime. "We will have to take comfort in terms of what the police told us so far: This was the act of a politically motivated individual, but there's no affiliation with any kind of group. Also, the political elite and the Prime Minister have said that they will not let this act change our society or politics. They will not let him succeed in changing the inclusiveness of Norway."
The country as a whole, he added, is taking comfort in the words of condolences they've received from around the world. "It's a great consolation for people who have lost their loved ones."
Yesterday, the Prime Minister spoke in Oslo Cathedral. "Amidst all this tragedy, I am proud to live in a country that has managed to hold its head up high at a critical time," he said. "I have been impressed by the dignity, compassion and resolve I have met…We are a small country, but a proud people. We are still shocked by what has happened, but we will never give up our values."

Police stated that the shooting was carried out by two unidentified gunmen who had been wearing full-face helmets. The suspects who had arrived on a motorcycle had entered the house between 9.30 and 10.00 last night and shot the two residents to death (25 August).
The 43-year-old house owner and a 32-year-old victim passed away upon admission to Awissawella Hospital.

Considering our planet is more water than land, it's always fascinating to see the creatures hiding beneath the waves. You might find an adorable new buddy who's happy to say hello, or witness the amazing way the various species can adapt to protect each other.
For divers exploring the depths of the cold water surrounding the small Galápagos Islands, they found themselves face-to-face with a totally unique creature.
The marine iguana has a terrifying appearance, but the strange reptile is actually pretty harmless. If you find yourself put off by its looks, however, don't worry — you're not alone. Charles Darwin recorded his initial reaction to meeting the animals on his infamous trip to the islands, describing them as "disgusting" and "clumsy." He also referred to them by the nickname "imps of darkness," so it's safe to say he wasn't a fan.
Darwin was accurate in calling them clumsy, though. On land, their little legs waddle around the rocks. In contrast, they move with the utmost grace and agility while scouring for algae underwater. Their diet consists exclusively on the plant, and they often end up with white salt stains on their noses from chowing down.
Once they've gotten their fill, they head back up on land to warm up in the sun, essentially immobile from their time in the frigid waters. While it does put them at risk of predators, they're definitely capable of defending themselves. I know I never want to pick a fight with one of these guys!

Getting Ready for the 25 Billionth iTunes Download
Sure, it may be as unlikely as playing the lottery, but you have to try right? And, unlike the lottery, I actually get something out of this deal. I'm picking the apps I'm going to buy as close to the 25 billion mark as I can. I'm going to throw caution to the wind and spend a staggering $5 in the hopes of winning $10,000. The odds are with me right? What could possibly go wrong?
Wow, 25 billion downloads. Just think, it was January 2011 when Apple only had 10 billion. They're racking up quick!
So, if by some stretch of the imagination I don't get the $10k prize, what's the first thing you'll do with it?

Have you noticed the doors of Walthamstow lately?
It's true to say that we often don't see the wood for the trees. We walk, bus or cycle past the same things each day as we go about our business and barely remember how we got from A to B, never mind taking much notice of our surroundings. After all, we see it every day, so what's to really 'see'? Well, a lot actually, and in this case, doors.
We recently discovered Lorena Perez, who has made a point of 'noticing the everyday' – in particular, the doors of Walthamstow, which she photographs and collects in her popular instagram feed. Far from mundane, there are some real beauties to behold, and it's interesting to note that something so common to us all can be incredibly self-expressive.
Lorena hails from Spain originally and has been living in the UK for the past 4 years. She's also lived in The Netherlands, Italy and Greece – a well-travelled European who, no doubt, has seen a fair few doors along the way.
Lorena used to model when she was younger, which is how she got introduced to photography. She began by taking pictures of buildings, monuments and general architecture, mostly in black and white, to create a melancholic mood. Soon after beginning her travels, she found other subjects of interest; things that were more colourful and more "alive".
When she moved to Walthamstow she often walked or cycled around the area, which is how the houses and doors caught her attention. Lorena says: The doors are colourful and some of them have beautiful stained glass panels and pretty hanging baskets full of flowers. It's easy to overlook the beauty of things you see on a daily basis so I thought I should take pictures of the most eye-catching ones and get them all together on instagram."
Looking at the positive feedback and comments from her followers, it seems to be working.
It's fun to be a connoisseur of the street – or, to use Baudelaire's phrase, "a botanist of the sidewalk". It's part of the urban experience, and here in East London we are spoilt for choice in terms of urban eye candy, particularly in the form of street art, murals and humourous artist interventions. But the everyday also brings beauty and often a smile if we but take the time to notice and really look. You may be surprised at what little gems you come across.
Follow Lorena's instagram feed as she searches out and discovers the beautiful, unique and sometimes quirky doors of Walthamstow.
Check out Lorena's website to view her other photographic works; you can also contact Lorena for information on commissioning work.

Remember the PC(politically correct)90s? It has ever more inched its way back into to 2012. Ozzie Guillen, the outspoken manager of the new look Miami Marlins has gotten himself in some hot water over some comments he made in reference to Fidel Castro. What did Ozzie say that was so offensive? "I love Fidel Castro." "I respect Fidel Castro," he said. "You know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that [guy] is still here." Comments he made in 2006 were very similar, but not any outcry. "He's a bull—- dictator and everybody's against him, and he still survives, has power. Still has a country behind him,'' Ozzie replied. "Everywhere he goes, they roll out the red carpet. I don't admire his philosophy; I admire him.'' Were his comments really that insensitive to Cuban illegals? I said illegals because of the treatment of Haitians and Mexicans. Castro symbolically is a hero, he overthrew the American controlled puppet Batisita to regain power with the help of his brain Che' Guevara. Castro's failure was not giving the people open elections, from that came his demise. He became a dictator and tyrant.
I remember doing my podcast, Above the Fray, live with my co-host who happened to white. He is one of the smartest political cats who is all about the Constitution. Boy we had some lively talks. During this one podcast I had on a fatigue hat with the red star and matching shirt and he asked me why I was wearing that. I said I was showing solidarity to Castro and Che' especially Che' for standing with Africans to overthrow dictators. Mike looked at me and said, "Do you have to wear that?" I laughed and we went on to have a great show. My point is Castro's image brings about mixed feelings. I like the fact he didn't want to be a patsy to the United States. We can't forget about the fiasco called the Bay of Pigs.
It's time for Newton to quit and throw his support to Santorum. His message is falling on death ears. I could understand his running if we were still having debates. HOLD THE NEWS: Satorum is OUT. Newton please stop, you're looking more the loser. Your pride is getting in the way; people remember your antics as speaker, secondly, people want to root for a winner.
Fox news in shameless for invoking Rev. Wright after they made Obama sever all ties with the man. He (Wright) as a minister was doing his job Easter(pagan holiday) Sunday. So what does Fox do? They showed parts of his speech and let me add, the inflammatory parts. Then they showed a Dick Morris(nice name by the way) clip with him saying he did not believe it was a total coincidence that Rev. Wright has resurfaced at this particular moment in the 2012 campaign."I think that what may be happening here is that there may be a deliberate, orchestrated effort by the Obama White House to promote racial division," said Morris. He claimed such tensions would drive up African-American turnout at the polls in November. I like the connecting of dots to minuses. It's political season folks.
Ronald Wilson Reagan(666) was a Communist. He made the "Enemies From Within" List.
Worst Person
Marine Sgt. Gary Stein(who criticized President Obama on his Facebook page) is a despicable person. When I was a GI(Government Issue) I was bought and paid for meaning I was green and I didn't have any rights. In the military you are guilty until proven innocent. Now Stein is trying to say only three people may have read his post. This is the same guy who called Sean Hannity's show as well as Mark Levin's show. This guy is such a schmuck. You got caught being stupid. You blasted the Commander-in-Chief with superimposed pictures of the first family. If you want to play politics wait 'till you are first out of the military. This is the same guy selling "Nobama" bumper stickers. I didn't like Bush I or Dan Quayle but I would never trend about them on social media, even though it didn't exist. You are a Marine, not a civilian, accept your punishment as a Marine.

What about Green Demolition?
Green demolition, better known as deconstruction, is the idea of keeping demolition waste from ending up in a landfill. The idea of green building and green products, however, is certainly not a new one.
I am looking forward to our green build project from beginning to end starting this month in Point Loma.
The Architect is Green Build and sensitive to the global environment.
The General Contractor is a member of US Green Build Council who believes environmentally responsible building is imperative.
And The Re Use People starting the project by deconstructing the entire house for reuse of all materials and keeping them out of the landfill.

Considering Financial Risk & Judgment
Judgment is a mere lottery, sometimes you are right, and sometimes you are wrong. For most of us it is more likely that 2% of us are right 50% of the time; and, even if I am wrong, which is most likely, the odds are not very good even if 50% of the population are right most of the time. Benjamin Franklin, the author of Poor Richard's Almanac, wrote, "At twenty years of age, the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and, at forty, the judgment." Luckily, research is identifying specific actions, to help those of us who are judgment challenged at any age, to make better decisions.
A new field has emerged over the past few decades that may hold the key to unlocking how we evaluate and determine the appropriate course of action in making a broad range of economic decisions. This new discipline is called behavioral economics, and studies the impact of our decisions on our lives.
Today, people, typically, consider our economy in one of two possible ways: some people are saying taxes are too high and regulations are stifling the economy; thus, businesses have no incentive to invest or create new jobs; while, others are saying: demand is too low, if wages were higher, consumers would buy more and businesses would then produce more and hire more employees. But, in a new book entitled Think, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman, suggest a different factor is at play. He describes how our judgment and levels of risk taking affects our behavior. The book presents a number of interesting experiments, conducted by Dr. Kahneman and his colleagues, to understand how people make decisions. Kahneman's findings indicate our minds operate in two distinct ways: one is fast and emotional, while the second is slower, study and more logical. The former is more uncertain in its decision making and obsessive. The latter is slow in making choices. Each day we use these two forms of thought, shifting from one to the other, without even thinking about it. Situations determine our choices, but, just as often, external factors can stimulate one method of thinking against the other.
One chapter, entitled "The Engine of Capitalism", will probably be of interest to business owners because it focuses on "the blessing and curse" of optimism. Kahneman's studies show that people, typically, exaggerate their ability to predict the future. This leads people to believe their goals are achievable when, in fact, they are not even closely obtainable; in the same way, personal confidence leads many of us to become entrepreneurs when statistically a little over a third of the small business startups survive the first five years in operation; while, almost two-thirds of those who start a small business believe they will succeed!
A positive attitude does have advantages: it breeds endurance in the face of obstacles, it tends to enhance the chances you will be an effective leader that enables you to motivate employees and close deals. Entrepreneurs energize people to provide money and resources to expand and development new businesses, and create enormous growth in our economy. Without a group of positive thinking, risk takers, our economy would have less growth, our society would have less innovation, and our citizens would certainly have a lower standard of living.
All this is good, in small doses, which is why a variety of small businesses are beneficial to our country, the failures are small enough to be absorb by the economy; whereas, misguided optimism by large business owners or government executives, who use our money to invest in high risk projects that fail, cause extraordinary losses and negatively impact our economy. The point is: we recover from many small failures that are spread over the country-side. Whereas, one very large, complicated project can have a huge financial impact on our economy when it fails.
So, go slow, realistically evaluate your options, tackle projects in manageable proportions, and don't believe everything you read or hear about yourself; stay optimistic in relationship to your capabilities and the limitation of your resources.

MPG and Running Costs
It's got a 6-litre quad cam V12 that produces 540bhp and 457lb ft of torque, do you really want to know the mpg? You do? Okay then, here goes. On the combined cycle it will return a claimed 19.8mpg, in reality with a mix of cruising, town driving and some spirited exercise of that V12 you'll be looking at between 13-17mpg. Throw caution to the wind and ask everything of the GT and it will return single figure mileage for every gallon consumed.
The DB9 GT has a 78 litre fuel tank so on a good run you should see at least 250 miles before having to replenish it with more super unleaded.

Elderly woman stole collapsed man's cash
PUBLISHED: 09:28 19 February 2009 | UPDATED: 16:10 25 August 2010
AN ELDERLY woman was caught on CCTV pickpocketing £2,500 from a man who collapsed due to a brain tumour
AN ELDERLY woman was caught on CCTV pickpocketing £2,500 from a man who collapsed due to a brain tumour.
A retired 49-year-old from Eltham fell "like a sack of potatoes" in Nationwide Building Society, Eltham High Street, on December 17 last year as he went to cash money for his son's Christmas present.
CCTV pictures show that as the retired building engineer lay on the ground, a woman in glasses took his bag then edged away from the scene while paramedics resuscitated him.
Due to undergo a life-threatening operation tomorrow, the father now wants the elderly thief to hand herself in.
He said: "Someone must know where she lives. I don't feel any anger, I don't wish her ill luck.
"I know there is a recession - a lot of people are struggling and some people can barely feed themselves.
"I just want her to return the money, the savings which my family live off."
Within two weeks of his 50th birthday the victim will undergo a complex operation with a two per cent chance he will die. Doctors said there is a 20 per cent chance he will be left paralysed in his right arm and leg, while there remains a strong chance that he will be left mute.
He added: "I wish it didn't have to happen, but you know one just has to act up to the acts of life.
"On December 16 I got out of bed and felt super. The next day disaster struck. It makes you realise how important each day is."
PC Stack said: "The woman in the purple coat was one of the first people on the scene along with four others. As he was put into the recovery position, she bent down to pick up his bag. It happened in a split second.
"She then looked in the bag, and slowly walked away towards McDonald's."
PC Stack added: "We would urge the lady in the picture to contact the police as soon as possible.
"Anyone with information that can assist should contact us immediately."

Without it, every television show and movie would feel lifeless, yet Foley work is often overlooked in favour of the more glamorous side of soundtracking music for picture. However, as one recent dBs Music open day proved, once prospective students and parents stepped into our Foley studios and experienced first hand this creative and fun part of the audio industries, they are hooked!
For more of an insight into the world of Foley, we recently caught up with Oli Ferris who has returned from L.A. after winning an Emmy for his work on the Black Mirror episode USS Callister. Discover the steps that led to his award and his advice for anyone interested in following a similar path into Foley…
Tell us about your journey into working in Foley and audio to picture…
"After leaving university I took a couple of production and post-production running jobs. I eventually landed a job as a post-production runner at Twickenham Studios and ended up spending most of my free time in the Foley theatre. After two years as a runner I made the move over to foley and I haven't looked back since.
"Foley first came to my attention at college when I was studying music technology. After spending a lot of my spare time watching the foley team at Twickenham, I realised this was for me.
"This role is definitely something I've grown into. There is no guide for Foley, it is very much something that has to be shown to you. I have been fortunate enough to have worked with incredibly supportive artists who have taken the time to show me exactly what they do. And it is this experience that has allowed me to slowly start taking my first solo steps as a Foley artist – I still have a long way to go."
Explain more about your role and what sort of things you do month on month...
"I am an in-house Foley artist at Twickenham Studios. My role involves watching through films and television shows to pinpoint sounds that need to be re-recorded and then acting out those sounds so that they can be added to the project in a post-production setting.
"The amazing thing about Foley is that every project is very different. What happens on a month to month basis very much depends on the scale of the project and its budget. If it is a huge blockbuster film, an entire month can be spent working on it whereas smaller projects are only a couple of day's work."
You recently won an Emmy! Tell us about how that happened, the work that was involved and how it felt!
"Yes, I still can't believe it! Just being able to work on Black Mirror was a dream come true. The team at Twickenham was incredibly dedicated to the whole series and the opportunity to see them in action and work on this project so early on in my career was amazing.
"Attending the ceremony in LA was very surreal; spending time with Charlie Brooker and the team from Black Mirror was great fun."
What have been the biggest challenges working in this area of the industry?
"The biggest challenge in Foley I think is time management. As an artist I want to spend as much time as possible perfecting a project, but often the schedule and budget of the project does not allow for that."
Do you have any advice for our students looking to work in this field?
"The best advice I can give to students starting out in this industry is to know how to make a great cup of coffee! Be prepared to work for long hours with little to no pay in order to get to where you want to be. It will take hard work and determination, but it is so worth it when you find an area you really enjoy working in."
What are the critical pieces of gear for your job?
"My shoes! A big part of Foley is recreating every footstep on screen so finding shoes that make good, natural sounds is really important. I spend a lot of time walking around charity shops to hunt for the right pair of shoes.
"I don't really have a favourite tool, but we have a huge props room that we can dive into to search for materials to create the right sound when we need to."
What's next for you?
"I am right at the beginning of my career so who knows what it will entail! The studio has got some great projects lined up and I'm really looking forward to being a part of them. An exciting challenge for me is getting more responsibility on feature films and developing and honing my skills in order to become a better Foley artist."

Description: (2) 2008 Seresin Estate Tatou Pinot Noir, Marlborough JR17.5/20 This Pinot Noir comes exclusively from the Tatou Vineyard, located at the western end of the Wairau Valley, from vines thinned to carry 4 to 4.5 tonnes per hectare. The vineyard is planted on the site of an old river bed and the soils are stony and free-draining. While Raupo Creek's clay soils translate into silky tannins, the Tatou Pinot Noir has a more angular tannin structure reflecting its stony terroir. This wine was aged in French oak barriques, 30% new, for 15 months. Mid crimson. Confident, claret-like build, reminds me of something from Piemonte. Tar and structure but lovely beguiling fruit seeps out between the minerals. So juicy! Very firm but utterly confident. Nuits not Beaune. Very well done. Gravel and Pinot may not be a famous combo but it certainly works well here. No tiring sweetness. Very long. Jancis Robinson Categories: New Zealand Collection Information Wine is not stored on-site.

The European Parliament (EP), often characterised as the voice of the people, is the legislative arm of the European Union, where Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are directly elected by EU citizens to represent them at the Union level. The European Parliament is composed of 751 seats, distributed among Member States based on their proportion of the EU population, and filled by MEPs who are within one of 7 political groups within the EP. Thus, participants who will be taking on the roles of MEPs will have moments when they are faced with the task of balancing the agenda of the political group they are a part of and the national interests which they represent.
Participants will be debating on two agenda items that are significant in the current EU legislative cycle. The first topic that will be discussed is the Protection of Persons Reporting on the Breaches of Union law, which will center on providing safe channels for whistleblowers to report breaches and protecting them from issues such as retaliation. The second topic is that of the Establishment of a Framework to Facilitate Sustainable Investment, focusing on the debate around what does or does not count as sustainable in line with the environmental objectives relating chiefly to climate change, pollution, and the protection of ecosystems. MEPs will work towards amending pre-existing EU legislative proposals on these topics according to their competing visions for the future of Europe via debate and strategic maneuvering in the amendment writing process.
Under-Secretary-General responsible for the committee: Selin Kumbaracı – firstname.lastname@example.com
Academic Assistant responsible for the committee: Atakan Çarkçı – email@example.com
Agenda Item I: Protection of Persons Reporting on Breaches of Union Law

Dear A-Rod,
You are one of the most naturally gifted baseball playes to ever play the game. When we found out about the steroids, we were disappointed. Sure, we will still watch you play and marvel and your sweet swing and sound your bat makes when you crush each home run. But did you really need the juice??
Either way, we forgive you. It was a mistake made to improve your performance. Even if we don't condone it, we can understand it.
But cheating on your hot wife, Cynthia with Madonna? Seriously. What were you thinking? This is the woman who ex-husband Guy Ritchie said it was like "cuddling up to a piece of gristle" when they made love. The juice we can forgive, but leaving a hot wife for a workout-obsessed crazy woman is not cool.
Cynthia, we hope you find someone who appreciates you. Keep on rockin the stunna shades, girl.

It was a last minute thing, but last weekend we lent the Orchid Society of the Ozarks 14 plants to put into their exhibit at the AOS judged Springfield Missourri orchid show. Of our fourteen plants, seven came away with ribbons (1 First Place, 4 Seconds, and 2 Third Place), and two of our Paphs. got pulled for AOS judging. One of those got awarded the AOS Highly Commended Certificate (HCC) with 77 points! It was quite a weekend, and I have to say, a completely unexpected piece of success. The OSO's entire exhibit took a First Place ribbon overall.
I just wanted to thank Tom and Barbara Larkin, as well as Barbara Chance, for driving all the way out here to collect some plants for the exhibit, and for doing such an awesome job with the display. You folks are the best.....
Hooo hoo, congrates! What a feeling it must be to have an award under your business' belt. Kudo's to you all!
Thanks Traci... Hopefully it's just one of many more to come!
I just wanted to chime in about the latest awards for River Valley Orchidworks, INC.
You folks kept telling us that our orchid plants were award quality. So, On March 19-21, we entered our first commercial exhibit in the Arkansas Orchid Society show in Little Rock, Arkansas. Here we put in a table top display. We entered 21 plants and won 4 first place awards, 4 second place awards, and two third place awards. We also won the best flowers in the oncidiinae class trophy as well as best commercial table top exhibit. In addition to all of these honors, we had another of our plants pulled by the American Orchid Society judges for consideration! It was still a young plant, so finally didn't have enough blooms to qualify after they researched, but we have had an awesome few weeks! Thanks for all the encouragement! Your belief in River Valley Orchidworks honors us more than any award we win.
This is our Paph. that got the HCC/AOS in the Springfield MO orchid show. It's an unregistered hybrid we're naming 'Baybay' lol!! (The name's an inside joke--don't ask......)
That is so beautiful!!
Lja, is that a picture of you??
I *have* to ask, what is the joke about ???
lol! Yes, that's a picture of me. I enabled the boards so you can put avatars next to your posts if you want.
All I can say about the joke (without getting into a MESS of trouble) is that it's a term of endearment, kind of like calling someone "baby..."
That is a nice pic, you are alot younger than I imagined. Don't take offence though, for some reason, all of the orchid collectors/ growers I have met are are all, er, a bit older.
No offense taken: I'm flattered. Actually, I'm 42, and that picture was taken 3 years ago when we were on a cruise in the Caribbean. (It was one of the formal nights, and I had on the white tux, just shaved, hair combed...) So all that really means is, I clean up relatively decently. :lemmetell
Here's what I look like with glasses, unshaven, uncouth, and messing around being silly with our nieces.... (Just so you don't get the impression I'm some kind of James Bond debonair orchid-grower... ) lol!

How to Add AT&T Webmail to an iPhone
AT&T recently contracted with Yahoo to take over its email administration. The company gradually migrated users with AT&T email addresses -- those ended in @att.net -- and legacy "baby bell" addresses, such as @bellsouth.net and @sbcglobal.net, to the new AT&T Yahoo Webmail system. The migration was finished in July 2013. Setting up AT&T email on your iPhone is simple. After you provide your email address and email password, the iPhone takes care of setting up the account for you.
Open the iPhone settings from the home screen by touching the "Settings" icon. Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and then "Add Account" to add your AT&T Webmail account.
Select the "Yahoo" button. Type your name, AT&T email address, email password and a description such as "AT&T Webmail." Select "Save" when you're done and press the "Home" button to return to main iPhone screen.
Swipe the home screens left or right until you locate the Mail icon. Press "Mail" to launch the email application on your iPhone, which now contains your AT&T emails.
- The instructions in this article apply to the iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1. Other models might have different instructions to accomplish the same task.

Gran Turismo 5's release in Japan last week helped more than doubled PS3 sales, but it may not stay the country's top-seller for long.
The long-awaited release of Gran Turismo 5 has been unsurprisingly huge in Japan. Over 430,000 units were sold, including those that happeend to be bundled with a special edition blue PS3.
The game managed to help sell 68,840 PS3 consoles, which is more than double the amount from last week (29,058). However, the PSP still outsold the PS3, even though its sales numbers were down from 96,601 last week to 75,689.
According to GamesIndustry.biz, Gran Turismo 5's position at the top of the charts may be short-lived:
It's unlikely that Gran Turismo's reign at number one will last long, however - yesterday saw the launch of Monster Hunter Portable 3 for the PSP. Huge crowds queued outside many of Japan's electronics retailers, with lines of up to 3000 customers reported outside popular shops.

For this week's CS-443 self-directed professional development blog entry I read a blog post written by Mark Seemann, a professional programmer/ software architect from Copenhagen Denmark. The blog post I read is entitled "Code coverage is a useless target measure," and I found it to be quite relevant to the material we've been discussing in class the past couple of weeks, especially regarding path testing and data-flow testing. In this blog post, Seemann urges project managers and test developers not to just set a "code coverage goal" as a means for measuring whether their code is completely tested or not. Seemann explains that he finds this to be a sort of "perverse incentive" as it could encourage developers to write bad unit tests for the simple purpose of just covering the code as the project's deadline approaches and the pressure on them increases. He provides some examples of what this scenario might look like using the C# programming language.
In his examples, Seemann shows that it is pretty easy to achieve 100% code coverage for a specific class, however, that doesn't mean the code in that class is sufficiently tested for correct functionality. In his first example test, Seemann shows that it is possible to write an essentially useless test by using a try/catch block and no assertions existing solely for the purpose of covering code. Next, he gives an example of a test with an assertion that might seem like a legitimate test but Seemann shows that "[the test] doesn't prevent regressions, or [prove] that the System Under Test works as intended." Finally, Seemann gives a test in which he uses multiple boundary values and explains that even though it is a much better test, it hasn't increased code coverage over the previous two tests. Hence, Seemann concludes that in order to show that software is working as it is supposed to, you need to do more than just make sure all the code is covered by unit tests, you need to write multiple tests for certain portions of code and ensure correct outputs are generated when given boundary-value inputs as well.
The reason I chose Mark's blog post for my entry this week was because I thought it related to the material we've been discussing recently in class, especially data-flow testing. I think it is important for us to remember, when we are using code based testing techniques, that writing unit tests to simply cover the code are not sufficient to ensuring software is completely functional. Therefore, it's probably a good idea to use a combination of code and specification based techniques when writing unit tests.
