ESRI UC 2010 MGIS Presentation
July 31, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments
The ESRI UC 2010 was not as exciting as I remember when I first went there in 2005. There were a few good discussions but overall it all seemed rather redundant. However, there were a few notable exceptions. I also presented my Penn State Masters of GIS presentation. So now I have to make a few fixes to the paper and I'm done. I uploaded my presentation as unlisted, just follow the links below if you want to watch. 😀 Yahh!!

Tottenham are in advanced talks with Internacional for striker Leandro Damiao.
Tottenham have already had one bid turned down, believed to be around £10m, with Internacional holding out for around £14m.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp hopes to bring Leandro to London for the start of next season.
talkSPORT says Sandro moved from Internacional to Tottenham in 2010 and Daniel Levy secured an affiliation with the club in the process - allowing Spurs to have first option on any future prospect - and he is confident of a similarly successful move for Damiao, with talks between the clubs set to continue.
It's kicking off again! Click here for your No1 source for Tottenham transfer market news and gossip.

Ever wondered what it took to be named a witch back in the 1500s?
We've been looking at a nice big database of Scottish witch court cases to answer just this. It covers the time period from the early 1500s to the mid 1700s.
With over 3,000 witch related cases to explore we found the best way to deal with such a large dataset was to look for patterns in it. To do this we scraped the most relevant parts of the database and put all the data on the names of those accused, date of court case, case characteristics and notes in one spreadsheet.
Unfortunately the database is under a restrictive copyright licence from Edinburgh University, but there is no restriction on exploring the data and sharing what we find.
The first thing we found was a range of interesting cases, from women accused of trying to sink ships with a monarch aboard, the most famous of these was the North Berwick witch hunt. There many women were tried for the crime of attempting to sink a ship with Queen Anne on board and then "troubling King James after he went to get her in Denmark".
It was also quite common for women to be accused of possessing children.
We also found men convicted for associating with accused witches. Studying the database we found 387 out of the 3,212 cases involved male suspects.
The team made some graphs of the martial status of people involved in the witchcraft court cases. Their graph shows that the majority of people involved in the cases were married.
With the help of Chris Blower from Scraperwiki we were able to identify the top categories of accusations for the witch court cases and display the results in this pie chart:
You can see that the most common reason for a court case is being implicated by another women convicted as, or suspected to be, a witch. This explains some of the way that witch court cases spread throughout close-knit villages and towns where groups of friends might be considered as a group of plotting witches.
Scary stuff.
Let us know what you think of the data in the comments below.
Thank you to the work of Julian Goodare, Lauren Martin, Joyce Miller and Louise Yeoman for putting together 'The Survey of Scottish Witchcraft'.

Melanie Blackerby… art that feels like home
I'm new to art as a profession, although I've been painting ever since I was little. While in college at University of Mobile, I took some painting and drawing classes as relief from all of the reading and paper writing I had to do for my English degree. However, I did not have the courage to pursue a career in art at that time. And, just like much of what gives us joy when we are little–hide and seek, making mudpies, telling stories–my painting was left behind when I entered the "real world."
In due time, God blessed me with a husband, a high school teaching career, and eventually three precious little boys. Life got so busy that I barely felt like I had time to shower (no, seriously!). Then, one summer, my boys and I were playing outside. On a whim, I went to the garage and got an old piece of wood just to fool around with and paint on. With one in the playpen, one digging in the dirt, and one "helping" me, I couldn't believe how much I loved it. So, with the encouragement of my husband, I began painting regularly and participating in a few art shows. Now three years later, I've been blessed to have my artistic passion turn into a full-fledge career (much to my surprise!!).
I like to redeem things, so my works are on reclaimed or salvaged wood. My designs aren't fussy or complicated–life is complicated enough already! Everybody needs a little breath, a little stillness, a simple moment. That's what my paintings are about. My colors are muted–three little boys bring enough "loud" to my life. My subjects are familiar–this Alabama girl sticks to her Southern roots. But I do hope that my perspective is unique. After having put away my brushes for about ten years, I really appreciate and enjoy the chance to create.
Artist Statement
Melanie Blackerby is a self-taught mixed media artist born and raised in Mobile, Alabama. Always open to experimentation in technique and materials, she often mixes paint strippers, oils, aerosols, and acrylics to achieve a "worn-in" look to her pieces. Melanie builds and paints on wooden panels. She chooses to exploit the wood by using heavier mediums like construction grade plaster, carving the underpaintings, or accenting her pieces with wire, roofing nails, carpet tacks, and vintage sheet music. By using layers of plaster and paint, she produces works that are both familiar and fresh. Many of her pieces feature soft color palettes that speak to a place of comfort, and shelter. The heavily textured pieces are simple and peaceful at first glance, but are more intricate when encountered closely. She hopes that viewers connect with her works and feel the sense of simplicity and home that they convey.

There are many different ways in which an individual's personality has been linked to certain physical parts of the human body. The one attribute that stands out above the rest seems to be our hands. They often hold the most information about our lives and are thought to reveal subtle clues in regards to many things, such as the way we act, make choices, and behave in general. One simple, yet common, example is that we often compare and contrast left handed people with individuals who are right handed. Those who are left hand dominant are seen as better artists and become angry or scared easier than their right handed counterparts. In a similar alternative, in palmistry the lines on the palms of hands are closely examined, which can indicate our character traits, personality, and destiny in life.
Another way in which we can analyze our personalities is by looking at how we make a fist. By closely examining how we curl up our own hands, and where we place our fingers, we can determine certain aspects about our personalities which are commonly associated with the three main fist types seen in the picture.
Go ahead and make a fist. Are you a type A, B, or C?
Picture A
External personality
If you hold your fist like in photo A, then you are delicate, insecure, compassionate, have a strong creativity, and you like assisting other individuals. Also, you are passionate, restless, along with energetic, curious, self-ironic and amusing.
Internal character
You want to feel safeguarded, acknowledged, accepted, and be treated regards. There are times in which you are overly great, and individuals benefit from you, and all you desire is truthful sensations.
However, you know who treats you in a good way, and who in a bad way. You know what to love, and what to hate.
Love personality
You can feeling love, but you can not reveal it. If program your partner a 30% of your love, then it is at least 50% more than that. You have the tendency to suppress your feelings. It is not that you are never ever getting angry, but you know the best ways to suppress your bad mood. You know absolutely nothing of selfishness, and you treat people well.
Picture B
External Personality
If you hold your fist as in picture B, then you are skilled, charismatic, and able to make pals everywhere. Also, you are intelligent, industrious, dedicated, flexible, alert, positive, generous, captivating, self-confident, and you are full of ideas in addition to you care a lot about power.
Internal Character
You have a fragile heart, you have high expectations, want too lots of things, however you are afraid of getting hurt. Also, you are afraid of loss, and you need someone to motivate you. You just want to find people who will like the genuine you.
Love Personality
You invest a lot of time overthinking, you can not let go, and you are stuck in depressive memories. Often, you alter your mind, you want to be with somebody, but you do not let yourself to do so. Due to your big love to your partner, you hesitate that they are going to hate you or get sick of you, so you act like you do not care, and everything is "whatever" to you.
Picture C
External Character
If you hold your fist as in picture C, then you are amusing, emotional, nimble, practical, thoughtful, proficient at phrasing, innovative, and alert. Likewise, you are clever, great at manipulating, and promoting consistency. However, often you over concern, and you are too sensitive.
Internal Character
You have the tendency to be quiet, but you would rather compromise to prevent anybody from getting hurt. All you need is for somebody to comprehend you which is not difficult to be done. And, you want versatility and dreams.
Love Character
You prefer comfy environment over busy one. It is the same with your relationships. The greatest weak point you have is the soft heart. Even when a person does a lot of damage to you, if they use their genuine apologies, you are able to forgive and forget.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Let's say I want to use the default 'user' app but want to change urls from mysite.com/user/login to mysite.com/login etc. As I understand it, I'd need to copy the default handler in admin/handlers/page.php to my own handler, and then change the default_handler in conf/config.php, then modify the handler to suit my needs. In the end, all I really want is a bit more control over the routing.
I'd love it if, in the core, we could set custom routes in (a proposed) conf/routes.php, mapping requests to handlers. It would be searched for a match before loading the default_handler.
I see some benefits to this approach. It would:
provide an easy way to control/override urls throughout the entire application.
be faster than checking multiple locations for the existence of a file before returning a handler, if someone wanted to manually define all their routes.
allow us to continue to use the default handler, getting any improvements pushed out in updates without having to copy/merge things over to a custom file.
There are a couple approaches you can take. Within Elefant, you can embed dynamic elements like a user login form into any page using the "dynamic objects" button in the wysiwyg editor (it's the last button to the right in the editor toolbar).
So the steps would just be to create a page with ID "login" and select "User: Login" from the dynamic objects list. Of course, this only works for handlers that are included in the dynamic objects list.
You can also implement a custom router by creating a
bootstrap.php file in the root of your site. Obviously this example is a bit simplistic, but it does the same as the above:
<?php // bootstrap.php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] === '/login') {
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = '/user/login';
That will be run just before Elefant does its routing, so you can essentially build any kind of custom routing from the bootstrap file.
Some of the more complex Elefant apps do exactly this, for example:
https://github.com/cewca/lemur/blob/master/sample_bootstrap.php https://github.com/cewca/lemur/blob/master/lib/Lemur.php#L10-L22
Hope that helps!
Thanks, Johnny. I worked this out in bootstrap.php, anything I didn't think about?
# Custom routes (request mapping to handler)
$routes = array(
'login' =>'user/login',
'logout' =>'user/logout',
'register' =>'user/signup',
foreach ($routes as $route => $handler)
// points custom routes to handler
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] === '/'.$route)
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $handler;
elseif ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] === '/'.$handler)
// redirects (reverses) handler back to custom route
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: /'.$route);
*edit - yeah, forgot about the hardcoded form actions.
Looks like that should work well as far as I can see.

Wales National Air Show takes place in Swansea
Swansea is hosting one of its busiest weekends of the year as tens of thousands of people are expected to watch the city's air show.
The Wales National Air Show is staging displays by the Red Arrows, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and an RAF Typhoon fighter jet.
But with temperatures soaring, organisers have advised visitors to wear sun cream and suitable clothing.
Promenade displays started at 13:00 BST on Saturday then at 12:00 on Sunday.
Nick Bradley, the authority's cabinet member for regeneration, said: "This weekend promises to be a fantastic occasion for all the family.
"Swansea is the place to be and our advice to visitors is to make sure they set out early to make the most of what's on offer.
"There will also be flight simulators so people can have a taste of what it's like to be one of the pilots they will be seeing performing during the day."
Special arrangements have been made for travel and parking in and around the city during the weekend.
Swansea council has also set up a special "tag your tots" system for lost children, with wristbands parents can give to their children with contact details on.
They will be available from event information points.

Managing partner:
Fabio Alberto Regoli
Turnover: €6m (£4m)
Total number of partners: Eight
Total number of lawyers: 25
Main practice areas: Corporate, administrative, labour and litigation
Key clients: Magnetto Group and Tower Automotive
Number of offices: Two
Location: Milan and Turin
Last year saw the launch of a new Italian firm, Turin-based boutique Bin Avvocati Associati, founded by former Allen & Overy (A&O) partner Fabio Regoli.
The corporate specialist quit A&O's Turin office with two senior associates, administrative law specialists Carlo Merani and Silvia D'Amaro, before the trio linked up with insurance law specialist Professor Bin of Turin University. The firm, which launched on 1 October, specialises in the four key areas of corporate, labour law, public and administrative law and litigation.
Bin Avvocati managing partner Fabio Regoli believes the market was "crying out" for a Turin-based boutique with expertise in public and administrative law. The city, which is home to much of Italy's automotive industry, is currently in the throes of a vast public infrastructure and redevelopment programme. In the lead-up to the Turin Winter Olympics, the entire city centre is being regenerated. A motorway will join Turin to Milan, while plans for a high-speed rail link joining Turin to Lyon in France are in the pipeline.
Regoli says his firm, with its public law expertise and local connections, is well positioned to exploit the booming market, with the firm already advising on a raft of redevelopment programmes across the city.
The eight-partner, 25-lawyer firm opened its office in Milan earlier this year. Regoli says the move was aimed at exploiting links between the two cities ahead of the development of the Milan-Turin motorway. Three of the eight partners are housed in the new office.
The firm launched officially on 1 October 2004, and Regoli estimates that turnover in its first full year will be between e5m (£3.4m) and e7m (£4.7m). Corporate and litigation work each contribute around 30 per cent to the firm's turnover, with public and administrative law contributing 25 per cent and employment – the smallest of the practice areas – around 15 per cent.
The automotive industry is a key source of clients for the firm, but it is also targeting clients in the insurance, food and energy sectors.
Regoli's departure from A&O reflects a broader trend in the Italian market, which is seeing small local firms prove increasingly attractive to lawyers in major UK operations. According to Regoli, while global firms are best placed to advise on major cross-border M&A or financing deals, on local matters Italian firms have the edge. It is a view shared by Regoli's former partner at A&O Andrea Arosio, who left to join Milan-based boutique Pedersoli Lombardi e Associati.
The continued slump in the Italian economy has also put considerable cost pressure on lawyers. However, while most UK firms have a profit margin of between 20 and 30 per cent, Italian firms are understood to operate on a profit margin closer to 40 per cent.
"You need an instrument where you can be competitive on quality but can also keep a low cost base," Regoli explains.

Ducasse's stellar achievement in Monaco
"It's like getting an invitation from the president or the Pope: you just don't say, 'no' ."
That's how David Chang, chef and founder of the Momofuku restaurant empire, including Momofuku Seiobo in Sydney, describes the summons to Monaco of some 240 chefs by one of the world's most celebrated culinary creators, Alain Ducasse.
Ducasse – the first chef to be awarded three Michelin stars in three cities, Paris, New York and Monaco at the same time – had an important mission for his guests: to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his restaurant Le Louis XV at the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo.
They came from around the globe, chefs in caps, chefs in jeans, chefs sporting silver Nikes, or the rock star look: quaffed or unkempt hair and designer sunglasses. But all wore "chef's whites", the traditional double-breasted jacket of the trade.
Among them were veterans such as Georges Blanc and Michel Guérard, and the next generation, including Chang and Scotsman Tom Kitchin of The Kitchin in Edinburgh, who became the youngest Michelin star recipient in the world, aged 29.
That 240 chefs from 25 countries with about 300 Michelin stars between them – including an Australian contingent of three: Guillaume Brahimi (Guillaume at Bennelong), Serge Dansereau (Bathers' Pavilion) and Tetsuya Wakuda (Tetsuya's) – answered the call to arms is testament to how many chefs have been influenced by the man celebrated for modernising French cuisine.
Many of the weekend's emissaries trained under Ducasse. Others, like Chang, were there on reputation alone.
"He's influenced all of us because even if you haven't worked with him, everyone knows someone who's worked with him," says Chang.
Geoff Scott, from Vinnies restaurant in Auckland, worked at Le Louis XV in 1994. Despite the long distance he had to travel, Scott didn't think for a moment that he might decline the invitation.
"That all these people have turned up shows just how far Ducasse's legacy has spread," Scott says, gesturing to Ducasse's white-jacketed army, which was having an outrageously convivial time at an "ephemeral Mediterranean market place" that had been set up in Monte Carlo's grand open-air concert hall.
The staged marketplace was used to exhibit the exquisite Mediterranean produce with which Ducasse stocks Louis XV's kitchen.
Ducasse credits this produce, much of it supplied by artisanal growers, with helping turn Louis XV from the fine dining restaurant it was when he took over the reins in 1987, into the three-starred haute cuisine restaurant that it is today. In 1990, Louis XV became the first three-starred restaurant in the world.
Scott describes Ducasse as "the consummate gentleman". During his stint at Louis XV he says, "I never heard him raise his voice once".
That Ducasse "ruled by example and not by fear" influenced Scott's own leadership style.
Dansereau has learnt from Ducasse to be "very generous with people, with customers".
They first met in France 15 years ago when Dansereau was researching a book on food in France. Ducasse organised for Dansereau to dine at Louis XV on his way to Portofino, and cooked at Bathers' Pavilion on his first trip to Australia in 2002.
As guests arrived at the Hotel de Paris for cocktails on the eve of the anniversary celebrations, Ducasse and Dansereau came unexpectedly face to face and greeted each other like old friends.
Later, standing on a sun-drenched terrace overlooking Ducasse's producers' market, with the Mediterranean Sea behind, Dansereau explains that he felt an affinity with Ducasse not only because of their attachment to local producers but also their location. Like Louis XV, Bathers' Pavilion at Sydney's Balmoral beach, is located by the sea.
"There is lots of similarity in the type of cuisine but also the setting and the sun and the weather," Dansereau says. "We don't send a Christmas card but when it's an appropriate time, we do catch up."
Tetsuya first met Ducasse 12 years ago. They've kept in touch ever since.
"I love his food. It's so delicate," Tetsuya says. "He lifts the flavour of the actual ingredient, which is exactly what I like."
Asked if he was surprised by the turnout of chefs, Tetsuya says: "Only he can do it, invite this many people and they turn up."
Brahimi, who has hosted Ducasse in the kitchen of Bennelong, which is located in the Sydney Opera House, and spent time in Ducasse's restaurant Plaza Athénée in Paris for the filming of the French Food Safari television series, says he admires Ducasse's "respect for the produce".
Thus, the trip to Monaco was "refreshing and reassuring of what we do [at Bennelong]".
Was he surprised Ducasse could pull off such a strong chef turnout?
"No. Just think about what's possible, then triple it," Brahimi says. "That's Alain Ducasse."

We continue our search for the most attractive companies to buy and sell right now. Today was a stellar day for the markets, rallying on hopes of stimulus package in Europe, but we remain weary and feel this was merely a relief rally. Today, I strive to find attractive companies with strong or weak fundamentals and technicals that will outperform or underperform the markets. Should you buy or sell these companies?
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (NASDAQ:BBBY):
Bed bath & beyond has been one of the few stocks that has remained fairly strong in this weak environment. Most of their success is due to recent acquisitions of Cost Plus World Markets (NASDAQ:CPWM) and Linen Holdings. Additionally, the company has done very well since a great April earnings report. BBBY recently bounced of its support from its 20 day MA and is poised to continue higher. BBBY stochastics just turned around and are headed higher and its RSI is at a modest 55 leaving plenty of room for buying. BBBY OBV indicator is still in an upwards channel showing the positive momentum is going strong.
Trade Idea: I would look to go long BBBY at now at $71.92
Target: Take half of at 1% gain and remaining at 2%
Stop Loss: 2% on the way down
Wyndham Worldwide Corp. (NYSE:WYN):
On June 4th Wyndham CEO was quoted saying that Europe represents about 15% of their overall EBITDA at the Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) lodging, gaming, Restaurant & Leisure Conference. While this amount is a portion, WYN is getting a lot of growth in other places in the world, and we believe that the market is enjoying that news. WYN recently bounced of support of its bottom BB band and retook its 20 day and 50 day MA on its move up. WYN stochastics have already turned around and are headed higher. Its OBV indicator is showing that positive momentum has decline from its peak in early May, but it's looking to continue higher.
Trade Idea: I would look to go long WYN now at $50.00
Target: Take half of at 1% gain and remaining at 2%
Stop Loss: 2% on the way down
O`Reilly Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:ORLY):
O`Reilly Automotive was a victim of the month of May, but their recent resurgence makes them a Buy once again. On June 1st ORLY announced an additional $500M share repurchase authorization in hopes of increasing future EPS, bringing the program total to $2B. Auto part companies have been weak, but auto part sellers have done better like AutoZone (NYSE:AZO). ORLY recently broke through resistance of its 50 day MA and pivot point. ORLY now has a nice foundation for support at the $97.27- $98.18 area. ORLY MACD indicator is on the verge of crossing its signal line upward, that would give us another bullish indicator. Its stochastics have turned around and are racing upward. ORLY RSI indicator is at 54 telling us that this stock is not overbought and there's a lot more room for the stock to move upwards. I would like to pair this long with a short of Genuine Parts Co. (NYSE:GPC).
Trade Idea: I would look to go long ORLY now at 98.07 & Short GPC now at $60.47
Target: Take half of at 1% gain and remaining at 2%
Stop Loss: 2% on the way down
Kinder Morgan Inc. (NYSE:KIM):
Kinder Morgan transports natural gas, crude oil and other commodities through their pipelines and with commodities being dragged down it's no surprise KMI has performed so poorly. Just today, Goldman Sachs and Carlyle Group (NASDAQ:CG) cashed out a portion of their stakes in KMI after KMI failed to acquire El Paso (EP) last month. Things are not looking up here. KMI has not been able to fully break its 20 day MA since before March. A mini-deathcross also formed on KMI chart in early May and its stochastics just turned down. KMI CCI indicator entered the -100 territory, signaling the start of a new bearish trend. All these bearish indicators and the fact that KMI was down over 2% on a day when most indices were almost up 2% is indicating a short on this stock.
Trade Idea: I would look to go short KMI at $32.01
Target: Take half of at 1% gain and remaining at 2%
Stop Loss: 2% on the way downDisclosure:
I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

We've been reporting on the existence of Mortal Kombat Advance for months, and Midway has finally issued the first screenshots of the game for the Game Boy Advance.
The portable game, in development at Virtucraft LTD (team responsible for Dexter's Lab and F14 Tomcat for the GBA), is a port of the arcade version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Link cable support for two players has been announced for the first Game Boy Advance MK game, but no other features have been revealed on this conversion. But judging from the screenshots, all the fatalities, friendships, gore, and characters(with the exception of Sheeva) will be moved over to the handheld.
Mortal Kombat Advance is being prepared for a late December release in the US...it'll be tight if the game makes it on shelves for Christmas.

Cape Canaveral (US): Spacewalking astronauts doubled as trash men today, heaving an old science experiment and two antennas overboard at the International Space Station.
It was the third spacewalk in as many weeks outside the orbiting lab. This time, it was on the Russian side of the house and went so well that it wrapped up more than two hours early.
Russian spaceman Alexander Samokutyaev used his left gloved hand to shove the antennas away one by one, five minutes apart. He paused dramatically before letting the second one loose, for a better camera view.
The dish antennas, up to 0.7 meters long, resembled white umbrellas. The first one spun as it drifted away.
"It looks like it's going to rain: Antennas are flying low," someone said in Russian.
A couple of hours earlier, spacewalker Maxim Suraev released a seismic experiment, essentially a panel stretching 1.8 meters long and 1.4 meters across.
"Three cheers," someone noted in Russian. "This is an event of some note."
The panel, shining yellow in the station spotlights, slowly spun in circles as it tumbled away into the blackness 418 kilometers up.
The experiment was launched in 2011 to monitor earthquakes and had completed its job. The antennas were launched in 2009 aboard a Russian mini-research module; they were determined to be in the way of future spacewalkers.
NASA's Mission Control in Houston said analyses were conducted to ensure the objects would not come back and smash into the space station.
All three discarded items should orbit for several months, possibly even a year, before burning up in the atmosphere.
The Russian Space Agency, unlike NASA, routinely gets rid of old equipment by setting it loose in orbit.
The spacewalkers joked and chuckled as they worked to remove the antennas from the station's hull. As Samokutyaev repeatedly opened and closed his cable cutters, Suraev observed, "Don't cut my finger off."
"No, I think I will not do that. It's just too far away to walk to the station," Samokutyaev replied.
A hard rubber washer almost got away from Samokutyaev, but he managed to catch it. He was urged to keep it as a good luck charm.
Their garbage work completed early, the spacewalkers turned their attention to inspection.
They collected samples from windows and elsewhere outside the Russian segment to check for engine exhaust and other materials.

Nifty can Show 8380 before breaking below 7723
Nifty opened 100 plus points gap up today and also broken upper line of "Complex Correction" (abc-x-abc-x-abc) progressing in "Contracting Triangle" shown in yesterday's report " Elliott Wave Analysis of Nifty for All time Frames Dated 18 Oct 2014 ". Let me show it on chart: –
This is Daily time bar Chart of Nifty showing move from 7118 which I am assuming as the start of wave 5 in yesterday's report (chart 3) progressing as Ending Diagonal.
In yesterday's report, (Chart 4), I mentioned that wave (3) of ED is completed at 8180 and wave (4) is in progress as Complex Correction in Contracting Triangle formation. I also mentioned that end of wave 4 is near and it will be confirmed after breaking of upper line of Triangle.
Today, Nifty broke above the upper line of triangle and remains above that line for whole session. Now we can assume wave 4 completed at 7724.
Further, total move from start 7118 to end of wave 3 (8180) is 1062 points. Wave (3) is just 110% of wave 1. Thus, we can expect minimum target of 8380 for last wave 5 as (ABC) as it is 5th wave of Ending Diagonal. But last wave (5) of 5 has to go at least above wave (3) (8180) to avoid 5th failure. I am not showing the reason for 8380 here on my blog.
Now, let me show wave (4) closely:
This is 30 minutes time bar chart of Nifty showing wave (4) of Ending Diagonal as complex correction. Nifty broken above the upper line of triangle today and also found support at same line (shown in red circle) and Nifty also seems completed (abc-x-abc-x-abc) cycle. So, we can assume this complex correction completed at low 7724 and new upside wave has started that can scale new high.

Bob Hohler as well as Jeff Horrigan recap last nights awful loss. David Heushkel encapsulates the evening quite nicely, and has more Carl Everett quotes than the Globe or Herald. Sean McAdam has lost patience with this group. Jeff Horrigan's notebook has details of Grady's meeting with the players, and other assorted notes. Kevin Paul Dupont along with Michael Silverman have the obligatory Carl Everett articles. Dan didn't write one? Has his restraining order not expired yet?
Speaking of Dan, he is still apparently obsessed with hair, as he mentions Manny and Pedro's new hair styles in his column today. Remember the article from that weekend that Dan devoted to Manny's hair? A reader wrote into Dan, and asked that perhaps the sports section should actually contain sports, rather than fashion critiques. Dan wrote back to tell the reader to aim his criticism higher, that he was just following orders…Sports Editor Don Skwar asked him to write about Manny's hair…and we wonder why the Globe sports section has hit the skids in recent years…Dan's article today is otherwise solid, looking at the Sox struggles from the angle of Larry Lucchino, But he also dismisses Jason Varitek's claim that he called for the slider that IRod tied the game with, Dan says it's more fun to blame Urbina.
Tom Curran looks at the Patriots run defense. The old-time baseball dude is begging for a quarterback controversy to stir things up. An uninspired piece. Today is Kevin Mannix's turn to write about Joe Andruzzi. Michael Smith writes about linebacker Maugaula Tuitele, who has been signed and released 15 times by the Pats. Curran's Notebook has the team possibly saying goodbye to Bryant College for good.
Peter May, covering the World Championships, catches up with Paul Pierce to get his thought on Vin Baker and the offseason activity by the Celtics.
Things got a bit heated on WEEI yesterday afternoon, as Sean McAdam and Glen Ordway took on Michael Felger on the issue of baseball. (Nomar's pitch selection in particular.) At one point one of them mockingly referred to Felger as "Mr Baseball", to which Felger responded with something along the lines of: You put me on this show to give my opinion..if you don't want my opinion maybe I shouldn't be on this show anymore…Maybe Felger can go join his pals the Touchback Twins on WWZN…
NESN has Red Sox/Rangers at 7:00. The game is also on ESPN2 nationally. ESPN2 also has Reds/Diamondbacks at 10:00. They also have Angels/Yankees this afternoon at 1:00. HBO has the fourth episode of Hard Knocks tonight at 11:00.

National Procurement Strategy
National Procurement Strategy
The strategy and the new microsite www.lg-procurement.org.uk was launched at the LGA conference on 10th July 2014.

Your continued support is much appreciated.
Construction Clients Group Questionnaire
The LGA and CCG are exploring a number of areas where clients can work together to improve cost out-turn and generally improve the quality and security of outcome when investing in the built environment. We have put together a short survey to draw upon the experiences of both public and private clients to help us to identify areas for improvement.
Demand is now starting to outstrip supply and the industry is beginning to witness suppliers exercising choice over procurement/contract options. The EU's new Public Procurement Directive dealing with the acceptance of unrealistically low bids and the prospect of being challenged by unsuccessful bidders is an area also worthy of careful consideration as is the detail to take life-cycle costing into consideration when making awards.
Embarking upon a procurement route that will potentially deter the best in the market place to engage will inevitably lead to higher out-turned costs, assuming tender action is not abandoned mid-stream and can also have significant effects on the programme and quality.
Whilst the EU's new Public Procurement Directive is welcomed in giving clarity on assessing tenders and contract values; getting it wrong could lead to a failed bid process and expose clients to challenge by unsuccessful bidders and the costs and delays that brings.
The survey results will be grouped accordingly, respecting confidentiality, unless respondents advise otherwise. It should take no more than fifteen minutes to complete. Thank you for your help

What could we do better?
The Nestlé Group has reached an agreement on the sale of its dairy business in Turkey to Danone.
The transaction concerns the Nestlé Turkey chilled dairy and UHT milk products. Nestlé will, however, retain the control and maintain a presence in the dairy market in Turkey through one of its key strategic brands, Nesquik, and through Nestlé Cocuk growing up milk, both in ready-to-drink form, to be initially manufactured by Danone for Nestlé. The transaction also involves, in particular, the transfer of the Gönen factory and of the Mis brands to Danone. The deal is subject to regulatory approval in Turkey.
Nestlé Turkey made this decision in line with the Group's objective to achieve sustainable, capital efficient and profitable long-term growth. The sale of this business will allow Nestlé Turkey to grow faster in the promising Turkish market by focusing its resources on its well-established core categories such as confectionery, culinary, infant nutrition, breakfast cereals, coffee and water.
The move in Turkey follows several decisions made in Western Europe in the chilled dairy sector. Because the European dairy market remains a key strategic area for Nestlé, the Group has launched a series of initiatives aimed at refocusing and prioritizing this sector. Thus, the LC1 brand was recently licensed to a third party in Germany. More recently, Nestlé has announced an agreement with Emmi in Switzerland concerning the production and distribution of its Hirz chilled dairy lines.

A walk in the cold: some thoughts about life and love
I looked out at the window and I enjoyed staring at how small snowflakes fall to the ground. I went to the porch and just stayed there until my feet are cold and I went inside the house. I wonder why there are still birds flying around circling the tree. I want to talk to them and invite them inside the house and make them warm. But they just flew away, and I cant see them anymore, they will come back afterwards I suppose, and I will see the flock again. You see I have written a poetry about the the birds and the tree. I call it the flock of birds, like a flock of sheep and some animals, they always seem to go together and when one is going to the north, they all follow through. isn't it amazing, how these animals share some characteristics of humans. Humans love to follow where others are also going, some humans chose to be alone and go through a road where nobody goes. And they go through life alone, sad outside but contented inside, or the other way around, who knows. What makes us happy? A simple new cell phone, writing, looking at children walking with their mom going to school, cute in their winter attire? I am thinking, why not take a walk, and suddenly my face lit up.
Happiness is subjective yes indeed. Lost in my thoughts and daydreaming, I grabbed my jacket, socks, tennis shoes, neck warmer and gloves. I ran outside the house, scurrying down the stairs. Whew, the wind blows in my face, BRRRRRR, I saw our neighbor busy checking his car, and he waved his hand, I smiled and walk faster. Maybe he is wondering where am I going. Damn, I forgot my brewed coffee this morning, I feel cold but comfortable with my jacket. I walked towards the road with the big vacant lot at the right side. The cars in the road are passing by and I can see a store some 500 steps along the way. I just walked and lost I my thoughts, three cars passed me by already. I just smiled and say thanks to them when they offered a ride. They must be thinking I am crazy to walk alone in the colds, much more when they know that I don't know exactly where to go, I just want to walk with the cold air. There are lots of cars passing by now, and I just wonder why the people are in a rush. I think of my life suddenly. I am always in a rush, doing these and that, earning money, dreaming big, saving money. Money, money, money is all. And then a car suddenly stopped by and ask if I need a lift again. I just said no and went on walking, the driver is following me, and I stopped. I said "What?" Aren't you cold, the man asked. "No", I said and walked faster, he just keeps on following me with his car moving slowly. There are other cars passing by. I would like to say leave me alone, but I cant. I don't care if you follow me, I will just scream if you do something bad, or run as fast as I can, I was thinking slowly. My mind was drifting off the road and then I didn't know I was near the corner street already, and the man blocked my way. It was the same man inside the car, I was scared, he is big, like 6'2 maybe, and yes he is like a football player, overpowering me and standing in front of me. He said, Hi, I followed you, is it obvious? I cant help myself being sarcastic. I am always like that, sarcastic in a way. Why not be nice instead? I was just thinking of our neighbor next to us, I always get irritated when he wants to ask me something or just want to have a conversation, I know he lives alone too and must be sad sometimes, but he isn't a child, yes he is not helpless like the children I am feeding every weekend. But I guess I am too rude at times, maybe after the walk I can knock in his house and return the favor of asking, how is he doing instead of him always asking me about how am I doing?
Do we ever care genuinely about others, our neighbors, how about the community (what do we consider our community?), and the world? Wow, the world. I need to be happy first, then I can think about the world? Are we born selfish?
Back to the man in the road, he asked if I am Asian and he introduced himself, not again I said in my mind, this introduction gives me creeps. I don't want men asking my name right now, tomorrow or maybe never. He said, he is having a bad day, just driving off, and he just want to say hi to me, he must sense I am scared and he gave his right hand, shake hands, hmmmmm, his name he said is Warren, sounds like underwear to me, I said he laughed at me. How about yours, he asked. I just smiled. Ok he said, will you give your name after a cup of coffee he asked me. There's a Starbucks around the next corner street, he said. Wow, coffee, but I suppressed it instead I said I will walk home now and thanks for the introduction, Mr. Warren--brief, and I smiled in my naughtiness. I said thanks and turned around. I walked home as fast as I can now, and I realized I walked maybe for 45 minutes already, long walk, and I am feeling very cold now. I reached the house and prepared my brewed coffee, then suddenly somebody is knocking at the door, I looked and peep through the hole, it was the Big man again, maybe he followed me until the house. I was scared, stalker? But I kept my cool and told him, I will call the police if he wont go. He smiled at me again and he said he likes me when I was smiling. Hmmm, the nerve I said. He will go home if I will tell him my name. I said "Lorena Bobbit", then he looked at me without smile now. Then, he smiled again, he said, you're funny. And suddenly I blurted out the right words I would like to tell him all along, "Leave me alone", or I will call the police. I closed the door and have a sigh of relief. But that's not the end of it, it is funny that most of the times when I am outside the house, he will pass by and said Hi, he never knows my name. Maybe he is a good man, who knows? He said he lives around the corner too and for me not to be scared of him. Please, he said. Still, he is creepy to me, what if he is a psychopath, killer or rapist?
Is it just difficult to trust people these days, is it just me or everybody doesnt trust anybody anymore. there are lots of scams everywhere, money is the center of it all. Why are people insatiable and can never be contented?
I have been hurt and I don't want to open up too. Am I being too hard, suspicious or what? Sometimes when life is hard on you and you have been hurt, you try to protect yourself. I don't want the risk of being hurt again is all. But like the old adage and saying, open your heart and you can see beauty around you. Why being alone is not enough? Do we ever need somebody to love? Is the joy you get out of it outweighs the risk of being hurt again? Maybe he is sincere, maybe not, we never know and he just wanted to befriend me, but can you blame me? Our world has become so scary nowadays.
What matters most to life, love, children, money, material things?
Or is it that:
If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it's not enough. By Ann Landers
How about this song:
1976, Ray Conniff
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you know where you´re going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to, do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you there's no open door
What are you hoping for, do you know?
Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds
And you knew how I loved you but my spirit was free
Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to, do you know?
(Trumpet solo)
Now looking back at alI we planned
We let so many dreams just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long before we see
How sad the answers to those questions can be?
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to, do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you there's no open door
What are you hoping for, do you know?
Those songs lyrics are excellent. I love your Hub. I don't trust that guy—far too persistent. I have some some lyrics for you:
Those were the days my friend,
We thought they'd never end,
We'd sing and dance forever and a day,
We'd live the life we choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
Those were the days, oh yes
Those were the days
I don't remember who but someone said that a little bit of paranoia keeps people alive. As you said the difficult part is keeping it in equilibrium with the human need of opening, at least sometimes. But in this world it's better to be alive and paranoic, at least a little. Seems like we are back in the Middle Age, but with better clothes. Very beautiful hub.
Thank you for the experience. We can live this through you. It's another mystery. We wonder why and how these things come to be.
It is sad that we live in a world where to trust or not to trust has becomes a major issue but look around at all the evil. You can never be too careful. If this Warren guy had any brains and was legit I think he would have backed down the first time you asked him to. Just my thought.
The best criminals are the ones that take advantage of the innocent and innocent's ability to "understand" the need of other's--especially the less fortunate. It sounds like Warren fits this archetype perfectly. You may need a restraining order if this keeps up. In the meantime, I suggest that you at least speak to a police officer. They will know what you should do.
You know, Maita. I wish I was your next door neighbor so we can take walks and be on the look out for Warren (maybe I'll take you to get a new cell phone :D ) Thanks again, my friend, for sharing this. You're going to be fine! Much love.
Ah memories. A walk in the snowy winter always remind me of home (Michigan). Whenever I read about snow and cold, I always think of home.
It may not be the impression he wants to give, but Warren is a bit scary. I have difficulty with people who assumes "no" means "yes."
Love and hugs,
Beautiful thoughts.....reminded me of Virginia Woolf's style of writing i.e. the 'stream of consciousness' . anyway, loved every word....almost drifted away with your thoughts.... keep writing pretty Maita! xx
Your thoughts on the flock of birds reminds me of back east. I used to live in NH and I would watch the same things in the winter. Snow on the ground birds fleeting from the feed to the trees. Watching the chipmunks scurry on the snow find all the morsels that the birds had dropped. I miss those classic snowy days...
This Warren guy has some nerve to follow you home and show up on your doorstep. Kinda weird. I don't think I could ever do that. Even if I found a girl I really liked a lot.
I enjoyed this hub, its a day in the life of Maita :)
