Over the years I have put in several hours of volunteer work at the elementary school. I've ridden nausea-inducing school buses for field trips, and spent a lot of time in classrooms helping kids with various class projects.

The Knowledge Curtain. June 8, 2009Posted by mwidlake in development, Management, Perceptions.
Tags: knowledge, Management, perception, system development
I came across the concept of "The Knowledge Curtain" in the late 90's, from a man called Lee Young, who I worked with for 2 or 3 years, along with a friend Mike Cox, who was key to showing me how to peek through the curtain.
The below is taken from a powerpoint presentation I sometimes give on project disasters (how to avoid, not how to encounter!):
The basic principle is that, the knowledge of your users/customers is partly hidden from you. When you ask people for whom you are designing a computer system about their job, they don't tell you lots of stuff.
- Things that they assume you know.
- Things that it does not occur to them to mention.
- Things that they do not want to admit to doing as it sounds silly or badly managed.
- I've even had people not mention parts of their job as they don't want their manager knowing they do it.
But that is OK, when you talk about information technology and computer systems to them, they have exactly the same problems with what you say :-).
Lee's presentation, with N. Mehandjiev, predated the all-encompasing rise of the internet and this is one of the few references to it I can find. {Among the relatively few other hits on the topic, amongst the ones about knowing how to make curtains, are references to the "Knowledge Curtain" as the concept that the Web is not as available in other areas of the world. A related but very different issue}.
So, how do you peak beyond the knowledge curtain? Systems designers and developers with experience learn how to ask the questions "what are the exceptions to what you have just told me" and "what else do you do" in many, many ways and without giving offence. After all, you have to keep asking these two questions and people naturally get irritated with that and some feel you are suggesting they are either stupid or lying. It can be tricky.
I think that unless you have someone who is fully IT literate and has done the job the computer system is to assist with, you will inevitably only catch a part of the requirements.
For massive projects over many months or years, I think this lack of a clear understanding of what people do is a major factor to their failures. This is made even worse when the analysis is done by one group of people and the specifications are then shipped out to an external party for the application to be developed. With all that missing knowledge, it is no wonder some systems are initially so poor.
I only know of one method that reliably allows you really see beyond the knowledge curtain. That is prototyping and user feedback. Only when you show the people who are going to use the system what you have put together to help them will they know if it works. These sessions are incredibly valuable and only in development projects where they have been key to process have I seen the project deliver something truely useful.
I now have a general way of developing anything.
- I ask the users for 3 or 4 major things that they want the system to do.
- I develop those 3 or 4 features as quickly as possible and show them to the users.
- One will be almost exactly what they need.
- One or two will be close to what they need.
- One will be utterly useless.
- During the above, one or two critical new needs will come up.
- Fix the close ones, dump or redo the useless one and add the new needs to the list.
Simply cycle around the above, asking for new features when you have got less than 4 features you are actively working on. And only polish features (add all the nice screen touches and widgets) once is is exactly what they need or pretty damned close. {You hardly ever run out of features before you run out of time and money!} You end up with an excellent system that evolves to better help the customer as time goes on.
There are lots of development methodologies that have the above principle (or a variation of it) as their core, so I am certainly not the first person to find that this method works. Which is why I find it difficult to understand why so many projects don't use it?
BTW, I thought I would just add that one of the factors in my starting a blog was a comment by Andrew Clarke on his, several years ago before Blogging really took off. It was for a presentation I did which included the Knoweldge Curtain concept. He was very nice about my presentation and I still appreciate it. This is the link, but as it is an archive you will have to search for my name.

Heny Ford said it best: "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." I guess it has come full circle with HD branded F-series pickups.
Prototyping methodologies only work for certain size and type of problems. And for those, you have a real problem of how to stop the cycle and worse, how to maintain it, when the users cycle and when the base system cycles. If the base system can even cycle after such work.
Prototyping large systems with 3 or 4 features? Good luck. Making your developers "stretch?" A recipe for burnout after 3 or 4 cycles.
- 4. joel garry - June 24, 2009
The "stretch" was in the link provided by APC.
Thanks for your thoughts on my thoughts. 🙂
I can see where you can chunk a massive project. Most projects I've seen aren't quite massive enough to do that.
Failures are more interesting, anyways.

Student Life Getting Involved
Getting involved across campus is the way of life at Wabash.
The diversity of the Wabash student body is eclipsed only by the diversity of the students' interests. Imagine a club, ensemble, organization, or publication and Wabash either has one — or will allow you to form one. The Wabash Student Senate, the governing body of student life, recognizes 70 different clubs and publications.
Each year, the Student Senate allocates about $350,000 to fund student activities, which range from the College's award-winning weekly newspaper, The Bachelor, to service clubs like College Mentors for Kids, Alpha Phi Omega, and Best Buddies.
All of these clubs and organizations provide valuable, out-of-class learning and leadership development opportunities. Because they are entirely student-run and student-funded, each club elects its own leadership, manages its budget, and reports on its progress.
In addition to funding student activities, the Student Senate works with the Dean of Students Office to advance student life and selects representatives to serve on faculty committees.
The Senior Council is a representative body comprising leadership from the Student Council, Sphinx Club, Alpha Phi Omega, Independent Men's Association, Inter-Fraternity Council, International Students Association, Malcolm X Institute, and the Student Athlete Advisory Committee. The Senior Council is responsible for promoting a strong and cohesive program of student life on campus by emphasizing community and cooperation among student leaders.

However, going by the fact the main body is 200 m underground, wouldn't that mean it's weaker than any of the 4 beasts?
What I'm saying is, if the main body really was stronger, then why would it need to manipulate 4 additional monsters? I believe now Toriko and co. are for a big surprise.

Geez, the chapter's been out for a while yet there's hardly any talk about it....
Anyway, like I said in the above spoiler, I'll take back my earlier complaints for now, since the limbs AREN'T dead yet. But man, that main body sure is creepy looking. I wonder how many humans it'll succeed in eating before the 4 kings reach it in time.....
I'm also glad to see Mansam is ready to act too, though it's also possible he'll be taken out by the guy behind him (who I'm guessing is the mastermind controlling the beast's main body). Definitely can't wait for the next chapter....

While true to an extent, my main gripe was that the limbs would be outright killed so soon after all their hype. But since they're all still alive (and therefore capable of striking back twice as hard as before), I take back my earlier complaints, especially since now mankind truly IS on the verge of being the beasts' dinner....

Beside Mansam there is also Teppei who is also in the incident site. And yeah main body looks kinda simple but I don't this is the final form of its outer appearance. Maybe it will turn out something different after he absorbs four limbs. GATTAI!

Heh, funny that the last few posts were made up of DB references, and the latest chapter shows the Four Beast transforming into a Majin Buu-like form.
Admittedly, I'm still a little disappointed that the limbs fight is over so soon, but hopefully the main body will combine attacks from all 4 of the limbs now that he's reabsorbed them. Yhat whole thing with making an "illness" rain is insane..... and to think, poor Komatsu has just an hour to help cook up a cure for all of mankind.....

At least Komatsu's role is still pretty important in all of this So, toxic rain is out, I suppose the tentacles are out too, so it should still have some kind of defensive move and....hmm, speed? Doesn't look like that thing can go anywhere near as fast as Zebra's rental horse

^Hey, he's a Gourmet World monster. For all we know, he'll probably be zipping around at the speed of light (or at least close to it).
Anyway, I forgot to mention that I liked how Teppei is helping out in the fight too, even if it's just to help protect the bystanders. Hopefully we may even see him fight against the Four Beast, as well. And then there's the question of whether or not Mansam will get involved (that is, if that dude in the shadows from last chapter didn't take him out already).....

BATON ROUGE — Due to procedural complications of the BP civil claims process, money that was dedicated to certain kinds of claims is sitting idle.
BATON ROUGE — Due to procedural complications of the BP civil claims process, money that was dedicated to certain kinds of claims is sitting idle.
Lawmakers tried to detail the hiccups constituents have seen in the claims process in a Monday meeting the Joint Select Committee on Oversight of the Gulf Coast Claims Facility, which oversees the process.
"I have to deal with so many moving parts it's like a Chinese checkerboard," BP Claims Administrator Patrick Juneau told the committee.
The committee has little actual power, but routinely gets an audience with Juneau for updates on the process.
Juneau told the committee that in Louisiana, nearly 63,000 claims have been filed, but only 68 percent of those have been processed. Nearly 16,000 eligible claims have drawn out $2.1 billion.
Some of that money is a part of a $2.3 billion fund that was carved out of the total money set aside by BP for civil damages.
The Seafood Compensation Program was created to dedicate money to the claims of those who commercially harvest seafood on the coast, specifically for the owners of fishing vessels, fishermen and members of a boat's crew.
Of the $2.3 billion, $1 billion is uncalled for, and it's unclear how that money will eventually be used.
Meanwhile, Al Sunseri, who owns a centuries-old oyster processing plant in New Orleans, isn't going to see a check any time soon, he told the committee. Sunseri, like many residents of Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes who have filed claims, has yet to see money materialize.
Sunseri has had to cut his staff to a third of what it was in April 2010, when the spill started. He didn't qualify for the Seafood Compensation Program because he doesn't catch his product.
"I can't operate if I can't get my hands on the resource," Sunseri said, blaming the spill for the decrease in oyster stock.
Because of environmental damage caused by the spill, seafood harvests could see unknown repercussions years down the line, according to testimony from Drue Banta Winters of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
The BP claims process does little to accurately compensate for future losses, Sunseri said, which is one reason he's having trouble reaching a settlement.
Juneau agreed the process doesn't account for unknown losses in the future.
"When that money is paid and the release is signed, that's it," Juneau said.
But there's not much he can do to change the way procedure was written, Juneau said.
"The door to the rodeo gate is open and the bull is in the middle of the arena," Juneau told the committee, meaning there's much else he can do but wrangle with it.
He told the committee that BP, on the other hand, isn't sticking to the procedure.
Juneau's had to stop paying a kind of claim businesses and individuals can file if they met a formula for economic loss because of an injunction from the 5th Circuit Court.
When the process was put together, BP agreed that a business or individual didn't have to make a causal relation between the spill and a loss of profits to successfully file a claim. Instead, they opted for a formula of what a loss should look like over time, Juneau said, to avoid thousands of individual lawsuits.
Eventually, Juneau said, the court process will conclude.
"We're here to do the deal," Juneau said.

Belden and Blake to Pay $42,504 Penalty to Settle Alleged Environmental Violations
Release Date: 07/02/2013
Contact Information: Donna Heron 215-814-5113 / heron. email@example.com
PHILADELPHIA (July 2, 2013) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today that Belden and Blake Corporation will pay a $42,504 penalty to settle Clean Air Act violations at its natural gas liquid extraction plant at 1950 West Washington St., Bradford, Pa.
EPA alleged that the company failed to comply with federal clean air regulations intended to prevent accidental releases of flammable substances.
The settlement follows up on an EPA administrative order issued to Belden and Blake in Sept. 2011 to prevent accidental releases of flammable substances that could pose a risk to human health and workers in the area. The company has already taken action requested in the order including protecting piping to a 10,000-gallon gas storage tank, conducting a process hazard review for all of the facility's equipment, and providing operating procedure training for employees.
The facility handles and stores flammable mixtures. The processes used at the facility involve the separation of propane, butane, ethane and isobutene from the incoming natural gas using compressors and a process skid. The separated gases are stored together in a 10,000-gallon storage tank, which when full weighs 67,000 pounds. The gases are then transported off-site.
As a part of the settlement, the company did not admit or deny EPA's allegations.

SOURCE: Mentor Graphics Corporation
February 11, 2011 18:57 ET
WILSONVILLE, OR--(Marketwire - February 11, 2011) - Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that MediaTek, Inc., a leading fabless semiconductor company for wireless communications and digital multimedia solutions, has adopted the Calibre® PERC product as its solution for electrical rule checking (ERC) to help ensure comprehensive electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and increase overall product reliability. The Calibre PERC solution increases the level of automation and accuracy of circuit verification, and reduces the number of false errors compared to MediaTek's prior approach.
MediaTek is seeing significant benefits from Mentor's advanced ERC technology and support. Because Calibre PERC is purpose-built for electrical rule checking, it handles MediaTek's specific ERC challenges more comprehensively and accurately with less manual intervention. It also provides MediaTek with more data to diagnose the root cause of ESD failures and other reliability issues.
In addition to checking the existence and proper connectivity of ESD protection devices, MediaTek is also using the Calibre PERC product to measure and verify parasitic resistance between power clamping cells and power/ground bumps along potential ESD paths. They also use the tool to verify correct placement of on-chip ESD components within multiple voltage domains, and maximum geometrical distance between ESD diodes and receiver gate NMOS/PMOS devices.
"Calibre PERC continues to demonstrate its flexibility in delivering a range of circuit verification applications that customers have previously had to address with 'one-off' tools, scripts and other partial solutions," said Joseph Sawicki, vice president and general manager of Mentor's Design-to-Silicon division. "Calibre PERC provides a comprehensive, high capacity, production proven circuit reliability solution that is fully interoperable with the ubiquitous Calibre nm platform."
About Calibre PERC
The Calibre PERC product addresses a range of applications including validating that a circuit has sufficient protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) events, and helping designers identify inappropriate connections between multiple power supplies in mixed-signal ICs. The Calibre PERC solution goes beyond traditional layout geometry-based checking to enable verification of specific device and interconnect structures and electrical characteristics. For example, it can identify the omission of required ESD protection on a schematic or netlist. It can also be used to look for errant signal paths and other soft connection errors such as well connection errors, floating devices, nets, or pins, incorrect voltage supply connections, excessive series pass gates, problem level shifter designs, antenna checks, floating wells, minimum "hot" NWELL width, and many others.

If you're going to live through a Maine winter, you might as well just go all out and embrace it in full. Two Maine hotels this month will host their own handmade ice bars, a temporary structure sculpted entirely from ice, from which patrons can get and sip specialty cocktails. Ice bars have long been a popular winter attraction in Scandinavia and Russia, and in recent years they've made their way to the U.S. and Maine.
The Samoset Resort in Rockland will host its very first ice bar Jan. 18-27. In the next week, a team of sculptors and designers will carve and assemble 300-pound blocks of ice, using chisels and chainsaws. Everything at the Samoset Ice Bar will be made of ice, with the exception of the fire pit and faux fur cushions. The "Frost" bar, as they are calling it, will feature a 15-foot ice bar, an ice luge, ice seats, ice couches, ice tables, ice stools, life-size ice sculptures, an ice skating rink and even glasses made out of ice.
Meanwhile, the Portland Harbor Hotel in Portland's Old Port is set for Jan. 24-26. It is a ticketed event, so reserve your spot early, with live music and food along with specialty cocktails. For more information on both ice bars, visit www.portlandharborhotel.com and www.samosetresort.com. Below is a video about the Portland Harbor Hotel's 2010 ice bar.

from the but-of-course dept
When other companies decide to stop supporting something, they don't make older systems useless. Worse, Sony never came out with another DVR in the U.S. market. Why do we have to rent them? How do we get Sony or Rovi to provide at least a software patch to set the clock so the DVR can at least retain 1980s VCR functionality? Sony admits there is no fix. A thread on AVS forums has a bunch of information on TV Guide OnScreen. The TV stations who broadcast the data have been ordered by Rovi to disconnect the data inserters and ship them back.Quite a legacy MacROVIsion has, huh?

August 3, 2012by Carolyn Szczepanski
August 2, 2012by Carolyn SzczepanskiWhen we kicked off the National Bike Challenge in May, we knew our goal was ambitious: Unite American bicyclists to ride 10 million miles this summer. Well, with three months behind us and just one month to go, we're on pace to FAR exceed even that impressive milestone.
August 1, 2012by Carolyn SzczepanskiIf you attended the National Women Cycling Forum or read the "Women on a Roll" feature in the May-June issue of American Bicyclist, you've been inspired by the work of Veronica
July 26, 2012by Darren FluscheTwenty years of experience has shown that bicycling and walking projects generally do better at lower levels of government.
July 26, 2012by supportBicycles are here to stay as part of our transportation system. While MAP-21 reorganizes and reduces funding opportunities, advocates and agency staff will need to look beyond Transportation Alternatives.
July 26, 2012by Darren FluscheIn the five years from 2007 to 2011, states spent 1.8 billion federal transportation dollars on bicycle and pedestrian projects from sources other than Transportation Enhancements, Safe Routes to School, and Recreational Trails - our "dedicated" sources.There are two things to learn from that statement: 1. STATES spend federal transportation dollars.Therefore, it is state and local advocacy that...
July 24, 2012by Darren FluscheThe feeling most associated with the new federal transportation, MAP-21, is disappointment – and with good reason. It is a highway-focused bill. Dedicated funding to bicycling and walking projects was cut and it will be a fight to get what's left spent in states across the country.

As the economy stumbles along in recovery, bargains continue to define the marketplace, whether it's dinner at McDonald's, refreshing a winter wardrobe at Target or buying an affordable car.
Take the new Chevrolet Cruze, a compact sedan that advances the economically induced ideology of building fuel-efficient cars that customers might actually want.
Like many compact and subcompact cars of late, the Cruze, which starts at $16,995, is equipped with features that haven't traditionally been available on budget cars. But downsizing customers have been primed to expect them.
Built in Ohio, the Cruze comes in five trim styles, four of which use a new 1.4-liter engine — the same inline-four used to extend the range on Chevrolet's plug-in electric Volt. The 1.4-liter engine is equipped with a turbocharger (to simultaneously boost power and fuel economy) and variable valve timing (to improve performance and also lower emissions).
The Cruze LT that I tested gets 24 miles per gallon in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. That makes the Cruze comparable to its two biggest competitors, the Honda Civic (26 mpg city/34 highway) and Toyota Corolla (26 mpg city/35 highway).
Like its competition, the Cruze travels a somewhat beige road, stylistically. Attractive without being beautiful, its exterior is curvaceous and au courant but otherwise unremarkable. Although its interior is a step up from the long-derided General Motors Co. parts bin, it demonstrates a simplistic design mentality rather than subtle elegance. The center console is outlined with metallic-looking silver plastic. The waffled fabric details on the dash and door panels aren't tactile so much as rugged.
Buying the Cruze is like marrying a man because he's a good provider. He may not ignite passion, but he'll at least bring home the bacon. It depends on the type of a person you are, but the Cruze may be a better long-term bet than buying into flash.
The Cruze is for people for whom a car is merely a means of getting around, and getting around economically. It is not a status symbol, nor is it a car for driving aficionados. But it does achieve exactly what it intended.
It's an affordable, easy-to-drive car that provides enough creature comforts. The six-speed automatic I tested was smooth enough. And the cabin was quiet enough to hear the stereo without having to crank it to cover road noise.
The Cruze employs a Z-link design, rather than a multilink axle, for its rear suspension, which helps reduce noise and vibration. Nylon baffles in hollow body parts and recycled-denim sound insulation were some of the more than 30 acoustical treatments designed into the car, making it a far quieter ride than one might expect for its price point.
Although the MacPherson strut front suspension on this front-wheel-drive, four-door won't inspire owners to take any canyon detours on their commutes to work, its steel unibody and safety features might at least set their minds at ease.
Electronic stability control, traction control, tire-pressure monitoring and anti-lock brakes are all standard, as are 10 air bags. OnStar, which automatically dials 911 when cars equipped with it have been in a crash and also enables drivers to manually call for help when they press a button on the rear-view mirror, is built in and free for the first year of ownership.
Options include Bluetooth connectivity, nine-speaker audio, XM Satellite Radio, 40-gigabyte navigation system, heated leather seats, remote vehicle start and front fog lamps.
Ultimately, the Cruze is about economics. Its price upfront is reasonable, and its fuel economy makes it less costly to operate. The Cruze Eco, available early next year, will dramatically improve the math on this already cost-conscious vehicle.
Using some of the aerodynamic and weight-saving tricks employed on its Volt, the manual transmission Cruze Eco recently received the EPA's best fuel-economy rating for a compact car — 42 mpg on the highway, 28 in the city — and it's doing so for a price equal to the cost of one of its most economical Cruzes: the $18,995 LT.
Keeping the price reasonable while significantly boosting the mileage is impressive. And it will become increasingly important as manufacturers strive to increase their fleets' fuel-economy averages and as consumers wrestle with creeping-up gas prices.
Sixty-three percent of Americans desire a significant increase in fuel economy from the next vehicle they buy, according to a Consumer Reports study out this week; 94%, however, said paying a higher price for better fuel economy was a sales deterrent.
The Cruze is a big step in the right direction for storied Chevrolet. It isn't likely to inspire lust, but when it comes to consumers' pocketbooks, it hits all the right marks.

BP Privacy v1.0-RC1 is now available!
Jeff SayreParticipant
BP Privacy v1.0-RC1 is now available! Please read this post for important details.
Hugo AshmoreKeymaster
It is awsome but also a little sad that you feel as you do having put so much effort in to this plugin, it's gracious of you to release it after deliberation and I do hope that a 'team' do take the plugin through to full release so your time and effort hasn't been utterly wasted.
38 page manual! luckily I'm a bloke and don't need to read manuals
I wonder and will watch with interest how many take note that this is a RC and the advice not to run on a production site
I just want to say thank you Jeff Sayre for you contribution. Hope you will focus on the positive aspects of the Buddypress community and ignore the… well…. the "not so nice" people. Good luck on your future endeveours.
@hnla are you kidding? Everyone will install it. I'm just hoping it can be used in core.
Hugo AshmoreKeymaster
Oh I'm sure everyone will install it I was referring to what Jeff writes on that linked t page, I'm sure it's probably rock solid but Jeff has marked it as a RC.
I can imagine working it into core will be quite a lot of work but yes have always thought that BP at some point needs to reach a stage where it should start thinking about aspects such as this.
wow, thanks for putting it out there @jeffsayre, looks fantastic.
Thanks for that, Jeff!
Thank you @jeffsayre
Thank you so much
Selu VegaParticipant
terrific, thanks
Thank you!
Thanks, Jeff.
Thank you Jeff
Thank you!
Sven LehnertParticipant
Thanks, Jeff.
Installed and active on a site ready to go live on march 1st. Thank you for creating a valuable tool that will be used by 28,800 sites. I'm building a social network that Ive put alot of money and invested alot of time in but the truth it may never reach the size of the group of people who will need this install. You know money is basically everything but even at 86% its still not all you may of not made money but you did make 100s happy. So good luck with your projects in the future. Also don't forget to use this plugin in your bp sites then ask for help to the next team. Now people lets go find the all star team of developers to keep this thing alive. Oh and by the way what school do you recommended for becoming a web programer?
Uhm. This plugin should not be used on real sites. People neither read nor listen.
It's not alpha or beta, it's a release candidate. So even though Jeff reccomends not to use it on a live site it's probably safe to do so. Anyways, if someone activates it it's their risk. I'll be using it and I read and listened, but chose to ignore what I read and listend to
Well it's been said it wont work with 1.3 so I wouldnt even bother with it until it gets developers on it.
Prince Abiola OgundipeParticipant
i just have this install on my site, all i can say is thank you jeff. u are a star…….. but i hope someone will step in to keep it alive
Well, then I'll either have to wait upgrading to 1.3 or fix it… Anyways, I believe 1.3 is still a ways off. You can always wait for the next version and end up turning in circles chasing your tail, you know
@jeffsayre First, Jeff thank you so much. I've been working on my startup for several years. Pursuing it has involved changing career, country, learning to speak a new language, and going broke. I've had two false starts with unsuitable platforms, and one with an associate who took the idea, threw huge amounts of money at it and screwed it up. Finally, as my cashflow hit zero, I discovered BuddyPress and got back in the saddle. Your plugin clears the final hurdle between vision and reality. Without it, right now, my project's potential couldn't be realised. I really can't thank you enough.
@modemlooper I can't fault your logic, but waiting for that perfect dawn when WP, BP and all associated plugins form a cosmic alignment of perfect harmony will be a long wait, I fear. Personally, I'm going for it. Life is too short and real user feedback is everything. If it works out, then trivial inconveniences like plugin incompatabilities should be cheap chips to the crack team of developers I'll be able to afford to hire, and if it doesn't – I'll get deeper into programming and learn to do it myself. It's only php after all. Besides, what fun is life without a leap of faith now and again?
Just for the record, I have this running on a live site and have been testing with real users all night. Thus far, it's working flawlessly. 10/10 and 5 Stars.
thanks @jeffsayre this adds the most wanted feature to bp.
one question : groups privacy will be in version 1.0-RC2. What does this feature add? is it up to the bp community to take up to its development?
I am a noob in wordpress but is a long time that i am reading Jefs Sayre work one simple and true comment.
Great work greatcoder and great man thanks
Yes, so true about perfect plugin alignment. I've tested and it seems to be solid on current BP. I'm waiting for BP dev team to take a look and see if it's something to incorporate into core or if it's worth continuing to develop as a separate plugin.

Taylor swift and harry styles dating mittelhochdeutsch lexer online dating
West could never have released this audio, because it would have been a continuation of the "threatening" position he's occupied in their narrative – something Swift referenced in her statement about the phone call on Instagram.In the same statement, she asked to be "excluded from the narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of since 2009." Doing so harkened back to the moment she and West first met, at the MTV VMAs, where a young Swift clutched her award as West stormed the stage, took the microphone from her, and announced that Beyoncé should've won instead. There's a lot of people in America that feel like they don't have a platform to stand up and express their closet racism."He went on to suggest that the MTV judging panel gave Swift the award in a bid to fill the gap left by young white popstar Britney Spears in the wake of her breakdown, adding that he felt the need to "get drunk" in order to cope with "all the lies" in the ceremony.
It definitely got her a lot of attention last time."As soon as the episode had aired, Kardashian took to Snapchat and posted 22 consecutive clips without context or captions.West made a public apology to Swift, and later said he wasn't suggesting that she was undeserving – but was speaking out against systemic racism in the music industry, which consistently favours white artists. The dominant reaction, however, was a reflection of what the world has been conditioned to see: the "threat" of an "angry" black man terrorising the "innocent" white woman.Even their clothes reflected the racially fuelled victim/villain framework that would define the incident: The image of West, wearing dark shades and an entirely black outfit, accosting sweet Swift in her white and silver party dress, remains an iconic one. Public opinion spiralled so drastically that even the president branded him a "jackass".Swift, on the other hand, was able to capitalise on the stereotype of the "angry black man", an archetype that has been described as a "figment of the white imagination", used to incarcerate and oppress black men. The incident may not have made her famous, as the lyrics in "Famous" claim, but it certainly catapulted her into the mainstream consciousness.Despite saying she wants to be "excluded from the narrative", Swift has reminded the public of this same narrative countless times in jokes and speeches.

Format ChangeOctober 11, 2005
Since many of you are likely reading this an RSS reader, I doubt this'll change a thing. For everyone else, I just made a quick change to this site. The full content of the past 7 articles are displayed on the home page. That's right, mezzoblue is a blog once again.
About a year or two ago, I decided to separate articles out into their own pages, and reduce the home page to a summary of the latest bits and pieces of what was recently added around here. It was appropriate at the time, but it's not working anymore. Along with that change came a subtle shift in my mindset; I was no longer writing quick posts, I was writing "articles". Any time I sat down to write, why, it had better be good and in-depth.
But that format is no fun anymore, as evidenced by the relative infrequency of updates around these parts. So it's gone. Let's see how this works. (And yes, that probably means at some point I'll be ditching the separated comments pages and merging them back into the individual post pages themselves.)
However, this does mean you need to scroll a lot.
Perhaps you could have little scripting widgets that show/hide the rest of the articles?
Or, maybe just a sidebar item with most recent posts. But is scrolling really that much of a problem?
Extra scrolling or extra clicking? I prefer the scrolling, if only because it takes less clicking to head back to where I came from.
Back at the end of the last century I remember reading some expert or other saying that there should be no more than a certain number (was it 3?) of clicks to go from any part of a site to any other. It was considered the right thing to do on behalf of your visitors, an early accessibility feature. As sites become larger and older, with huge archives, this becomes more and more difficult. I wonder how many still try to do it?
Dave, I applaud you for taking the mid-article click away!
"…there should be no more than a certain number (was it 3?) of clicks to go from any part of a site to any other."
Wise advice… in 1999. These days we've figured out that if people are looking for something specific, they're willing to put up with more clicks, and if they're not, they're probably just in from Google anyway and won't spend much time 'surfing' your site.
Best bet today is to design for easy and intuitive categorization/archiving, and damn the formulas for number of clicks. But, keeping in mind that all things being equal, less clicks are still better.
Takes you back though, doesn't it? I wouldn't mind betting that students at various places of higher education are still being given that advice during their initial classes on web design. My Wife took a Graphic design course a few years ago and I sat in on a couple of the web design sessions, hoping to pick up on something new. Boy, was I in for a shock! They were teaching about stuff that had not seen the light of day for 5 years or more! Now I get emails asking for help from her old lecturers and I am a diesel mechanic by trade!
Actually, I kept meaning to prod you to get the full content of at least your most recent post back on the home page, since I found the summaries-only version not only annoying but also not as attractive. But I never got around to it. Maybe I just sent out psychic waves and you received them, since now it's just as I like it.
Yay for full content in RSS, though!
"Since many of you are likely reading this an RSS reader"
Every time someone does that, I feel I'm getting caught with my hand in the cookie jar… Yes I was reading in Bloglines.
About scrolling: give me the scrolling any time and put the comments along with the article!
I never understood why I couldn't have the original article on the same page as the comments. Usually I have to have 2 tabs open to read both.
Recent posts on the sidebar also gets my vote.
I like it! I have another request, though:
I use Bloglines, but I click through to mezzoblue.com to read each article. Sometimes, a few articles are posted before I get to read them, and I end up going back and forth to Bloglines to read each. What I'd really appreciate is a set of "previous article" and "next article" links at the bottom of each article page, so I can click through to the oldest article then just "next", "next", "next".
Another idea: what about two different types of content: blog-style posts for the quick, daily stuff; and full-page articles for the less frequent, more in-depth content. These could be grouped separately on the site. Similar to the dailies, I suppose.
PS: I read articles on thier respective sites as a matter of habit; it makes me more likely to remember where I read something, and I think I better-appreciate the content when I also experience the typography, layout and visual design.
"What I'd really appreciate is a set of "previous article" and "next article" links at the bottom of each article page…"
Consider those on the list of things to add. I never saw the point of them until I started using them elsewhere, hence the lack of 'em around here. But they sure are handy when you have a specific post you're looking for.
"Another idea: what about two different types of content…"
Another good idea. Not quite sure what I'll do with the increasingly-inaccurately named 'Dailies', but merging them into the main site somehow seems like a good idea at this point. Longer articles, both here and off-site, would live in their own section. Which all leads me to think it's time for a re-architecuring or even full redesign. Not that I'm at all eager to plunge in to either at the moment.
What are you a corporation or something where we all sit around and tell you what WE'D like and expect you to change to meet "customer demand"? ha! Looking great, love the new format, very back to basics and I miss that, the old-school days when blogging was just blogging and fun and simple. Keep up the good work.
I don't see any problems with the extra scrolling.
It is nice to see that you're blogging again though. You know, however, now that you're "back to blogging", it's going to require a little extra effort on those really short posts. All of your "notables" are going to have to require actual thought or commentary.
I went ahead and set that aside with my delicious links since that seems to be a simple way to "briefly note" a site without making a full post out of it - which in the end takes up unneccessary archive space.
On another side note, you could work them out to function like Mike's FiftyFourEleven.com where he completely separates resources and blog posts. The difference though over there is that he probably has more subscribers to his resources feed than his actual blog posts.
Above all, again, nice to have Mezzo back to a real blog :)
When it comes down to constructing a proper navigation that not only sits in the mind of the site owner but is build to make navigation a breeze for any average end-user, I would say a lot of sites fail miserably when it comes to toughtful navigation. First reason, all look the same, more or less like the axioma of the grid in design, the most navs all miss dare and efficiency. Also news feeds (are not that well incorporated in the browser, leave alone 'known' by the average internet surfer. Positive side, web designers can do a whole lot of redesign jobs.
I don't like the new format, or reversal to the old format. Too much scrolling, articles loose their emphasis; not standing on their own, everything starts to run together. This makes it much more difficult to decipher information one may be looking for amongst the onslaught of copy present on the front page.
In my opinion the standard two column layout in webdesign just isn't working for me anymore. The right column becomes this long neverending empty mass, while all the copy remains shoved in the left column.
> at some point I'll be ditching
> the separated comments pages and
> merging them back into the
> individual post pages themselves
I'd welcome that as a change us RSS people would profit from as well – I click through about a third of the time in order to read the comments, and merging the pages back together would save me a click and pageload.
(Just as long as the old URLs keep working so people's links don't break.)
As for the front page, now that I look at it, I think it's better this way. If there's a problem, it's because the most-recent-first format is broken.
And I don't know how one would fix it, really.
Please change back. It would only work if your column width wasn't so narrow. As it is, there is a lot of scrolling needed. Also, now every time I visit, I have to reload all your images in the posts, whether I want to load them or not. I only want to check for new titles on the front page. (And then, and only then, click the titles to read the full posts.) A step backwards.
Your mindset you're changing from is where I am with my blog/site/thing.
I decided I didn't want to just put quick posts up like "I went to the bathroom on my own" kinda thing. I wanted formulated, (reasonably) well-written entries about set topics that have a general-ish theme. However, because of this I've ended up not posting as frequently as before.
I get to a stage where I want to write about something I've read somewhere in a quick post, but then I don't want a small entry. Longer entries involve more research, more time and a lot more effort.
Ah, motivation. Someone motivate me!
Oh yeh, about the scrolling. No problem at all. Usually I'll come to the site to check whether there is an update, or come straight from the RSS feed to the entry post itself.
Only problem I have with it, is that the column is pretty narrow. OK for short posts, but long posts it can fray my attention. But then again, the post still has it's own, full-width page!
But, like you mentioned, I'd like to see the comments on the actual article page. Saves that extra click to some potentially useful information. (annoyance on ALA too)
Yay! Yay yay yay yay yay!
I was late to the RSS wave, so your homepage being just those little linked summaries really really bugged me.
I even wrote an entry about it:
Very happy with this move. Although I'd add a vote to the "Previous" and "Next" buttons for navigation too :-)
It's bad. Sorry, but it's bad.
It's so long that you need a TOC for that page, with named anchors.
Try displaying only the last 3 or 5 entries since yours are substantial.
It doesn't help having sub-headers in the posts the same style as the main post headers. Now when I scroll down it appears there are more posts than there really are. It also makes it harder to find the start of the posts.
One big improvement would be to have a list of the posts at the top. Then I could just click on these to jump to each one.
I like the format change but I agree with that it would be helpful to have a "read more" expander for longer posts like articles or the links to posts in the sidebar.
I think you've hit the sweet spot. I am one for long meaty front pages, with no flashy show/hide javascripts. I love it.
On a sidenote though, you may want to see the date structure, as some of your posts posted on the same day end up without having dates.
Other than that, I also like the comment on the same page thing. weeee…
Once a blog, always a blog… ;)

Dubal project registered with UN green scheme
Dubai, January 20, 2013
Dubai Aluminium recently received the Certified Emission Reduction (CER) credits for a greenhouse gases project registered under the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
Abdulla Kalban, president and CEO of Dubal, received the certificate from Dr Rashid Ahmad bin Fahad, UAE Minister of Environment and Water.
The carbon-credit project involves Dubal's Casthouse operations, which has four melting furnaces fitted with conventional cold air burners, which are used to melt cold/hot metal at specified rates.
Cold air burners work on the principle of an air-to-gas ratio where air and gas are fed through on a proportionate basis. These conventional cold burners will now be replaced with more energy-efficient regenerative burners during the second quarter of this year – an exercise that will reduce gas consumption, thereby lowering Dubal's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
The project follows a pilot initiative whereby a regenerative burner was installed in one of the melting furnaces during 2008/2009. Records show that the furnace's gas consumption levels declined by 39 per cent.
Kalban said "Dubal endorses the widely accepted view that the most common GHG is CO2, which is therefore also the main cause of global warming and climate change. The installation of regenerative burners in our melting furnaces forms part of our 2015 Carbon Management Strategy and Implementation Plan, which aims to reduce the size of Dubal's carbon footprint."
"The plan outlines how Dubal will undertake programmes to raise awareness about climate change and carbon emissions; implement systems to measure our emissions; identify carbon reduction and abatement options; and continually reduce carbon emissions from every aspect of our business – using pre-determined, quantifiable targets to measure our progress.
"In the past three years Dubal has, through various initiatives, saved 900 000 tonnes of CO2. We've also achieved a 54 per cent reduction (145,000 tonnes) in Dubal's emissions of perfluorcarbon gases – compounds that have greenhouse gas warming potential that is up to 9,200 times greater than CO2 – over the same timeframe.
"We are confident that the installation of the regenerative burners will deliver substantial results, contributing to even greater reductions in Dubal's CO2 emission levels," he added. – TradeArabia News Service

Pats start cuts with TEs Ballard and Fells
Foxborough, MA – In moves that may indicate All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski will not be placed on the physically unable to perform list, the New England Patriots released veteran tight ends Daniel Fells and Jake Ballard on Friday.
Gronkowski has been out the entire preseason after undergoing multiple surgeries on his forearm and back, and there has been no official timetable for his return.
Ballard, 24, was claimed off waivers and awarded to the Patriots from the New York Giants in June of 2012. He was attempting to return from a a knee injury he sustained in Super Bowl XLVI which caused him to miss the entire 2012 campaign.
Fells is a veteran of six NFL seasons and caught four passes for 85 yards in 13 games for the Patriots last season.
New England also released eight other players on Friday: defensive end Marcus Benard, receiver Johnathan Haggerty, linebacker Mike Rivera, offensive lineman Luke Patterson, fullback Ben Bartholomew, defensive linemen Gilbert Pena and Scott Vallone and offensive lineman Matt Stankiewitch.
The Pats roster now stands at 65 players. All NFL teams are required to cut down to 53 players by 6 pm ET on Saturday, August 31.

As promised, to go along with the Animal Classification Booklet download, here are my plans and resources for the first two groups we talked about in co-op, mammals and fish. Again, this class is for ages 5-8.
In our first class, we covered mammals but began with the idea of classification itself, discussing the two big groups of animals (vertebrates and invertebrates) and how scientists make that first divide (by whether they have a backbone). We found our own backbones.
Vertebrate Teaching Poster Set; I'm using the appropriate poster for each class, starting off our discussion of the group by talking about the information and animals on the poster.
What is a Vertebrate? by Bobbie Kalman, to have on hand for pictures and to refer to.
Dichotomous key: We did this together, keying out most of the included animals, to show how scientists use differing characteristics to place animals in smaller and smaller groups until the species has been identified.
Mammal matching: Each student had a copy, but we did it together as a group. This demonstrates how mammals are divided into smaller groups.
We also filled in the pages of their books as a group, with each student writing in their own booklet.
Mammal word search
We began our second session by reviewing the characteristics of mammals before moving onto fish. In this way we could compare the groups (which are very different!). Again, we discussed the poster and wrote in the booklets.
What is a Fish? by Bobbie Kalman
Various field guides/books of fish
Fashion a Fish from Aquatic Project Wild: I received my copy many, many years ago by going through the Project Wild and Aquatic Project Wild training; this remains the only way to obtain this curriculum. Google tells me some folks have scanned in this activity and posted it online, but you'll have to search yourself, because I'd feel uncomfortable linking. However, that link above includes a link to the state coordinator page for this program. Training is, as far as I know, still free, and you get an entire book of resources for free, too.
Birds, reptiles, and amphibians will be upcoming as we cover them!

text: Women's Lacrosse 5/11/2013 12:00:00 AM No. 13 Pioneers Advance With 14-7 Win Over Jacksonville GAINESVILLE, Fla. – University of Denver sophomore Jill Remenapp (Woodbine, Md.) scored two goals and distributed four assists, leading the No. 13 Pioneers to a 14-7 victory over Jacksonville in the first round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament at the University of Florida on Friday afternoon."We played our game. I think we were excited to get on this big stage and show them what Denver Lacrosse is all about, and the girls came out and did just that," head coach Liza Kelly said. "They prepared well for Jacksonville and I think they were a good team we matched up. We knew it was going to be a hard game because they're very well coached and a very talented team but I think we came out ready for them."Remenapp added three ground balls and a caused turnover for the Pioneers (18-2), who won the first NCAA Tournament game in program history. Junior Jenn Etzel (Bel Air, Md.) had three goals and two assists. Both redshirt senior Kara Secora (Denver, Colo.) and freshman Rachael McKinnon (Brooklin, Ontario) had hat tricks and an assist. Senior Mikayla Clark (Eden Prairie, Minn.) had a goal, an assist, four caused turnovers and three ground balls, and junior Meredith Harris (Middleburg, Va.) scored two goals.Denver dominated in draw controls 21-5 with sophomore Kiki Boone (Cherry Hills Village, Colo.) grabbing seven and senior Kate Henrich (Lansdale, Pa.) recording six."I think two of the things we were focused on with Jacksonville were draw controls and their ride," Kelly said. "I think those were things we focused on all week. We have been tested from some other teams with that but I think we stepped up and showed them we were pretty good at that too."The Pioneers jumped out to a 3-0 lead off goals from Harris, Etzel and Clark in the first 4:46 of the contest.Taylor McCord got Jacksonville on the board at the 21:48 mark in the first half, but Denver ripped off the next four goals, the last two by Secora. The Dolphins caused a turnover, ran the length of the field and scored with 10 seconds left, but DU took a 7-2 lead to halftime.The Pioneers registered a dominating 9-2 advantage in draw controls in the first half and out-shot Jacksonville 13-4.McKinnon scored an unassisted goal less than four minutes into the second half, and followed it up with an assist to Secora and another unassisted goal with 18:05 remaining to give Denver a 10-4 lead.With 17:13 left in the game, Etzel intercepted a short outlet pass from the Jacksonville goalie, flipped a quick pass to Remenapp for a DU goal. Remenapp returned the favor, assisting Etzel three minutes later, and Remenapp scored again after causing a turnover by the Jacksonville goalie with 11:50 remaining.The Dolphins scored a pair of goals in an 11-second span to cut DU's lead to 13-6 with 5:50 on the clock and added a free position goal with 1:22 left in the game.The Pioneers will next play in the NCAA Tournament Second Round against No. 5 seed Florida in Gainesville, Fla., on Sunday at 11 a.m. MT.-EXPERIENCE DENVER ATHLETICS-Like Denver Pioneers and Denver Women's Lacrosse on FacebookFollow @DU_Pioneers and @DU_WLax on TwitterPrint Friendly Version

Bernalillo County authorities stationed outside a home where two adults and three children were found shot to death south of Albuquerque.
Updated at 12:15 a.m. ET: A 15-year-old boy has been charged in the shooting deaths of two adults and three children in southwest Albuquerque, N.M., local police said.
The suspect, identified by Bernalillo County police as Nehemiah Griego, has been arrested and placed in a juvenile detention center. He is charged with two counts of murder and three counts of "child abuse resulting in death," according to a police statement.
A police statement identified the victims as Greg Griego, 51, his wife, Sarah Griego, 40, and three of their children -- Zephania Griego, 9, Jael Griego, 5, and Angelina Griego, 2.
Greg Griego was a chaplain at the county jail in Albuquerque and spiritual counselor to the Albuquerque Fire Department, according to a statement by Fire Chief James Breen.
Breen described Griego as dedicated and passionate chaplain with a "calming spirit and gentle nature."
Bernalillo County sheriff's deputies responded to a private residence in the city's South Valley area around 9:15 p.m. Saturday. They found the bodies inside the residence.
They also found several weapons at the scene of the crime, including a semi-automatic military-style rifle, according to Bernalillo County sheriff's spokesman Aaron Williamson.
"There's no other way to say it, but we have a horrific crime scene we're working, and it'll be intensive, and we'll work hard to do everything that needs to be done," Sheriff Dan Houston told KRQE-TV.
The investigation is ongoing.
NBC's Isolde Raftery contributed reporting.

SAUL, Renato P.. Social capital and the privatization of knowledge.Translated byMarcelo Otto Severo. Sociologias [online]. 2008, vol.4Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1517-4522.
This work examines the intellectual movement that dominated the scientific thought in the social sciences from the 1960s onwards, and its connection with the changes in the world's economic and political relations since then, emphasizing the United States. Two of the most significant manifestations of this movement are found in questions related to the identification of an institutional crisis in American democracy and the need for a process to re-evaluate the role of sociology, both from the institutional point of view, and as a tool to explain the social reality of the country and the world. The reorganization of America's economic power, as a result of the technological development and the globalization process, provides the background for the political crisis in the United States. When it becomes evident that the foundations of the American democracy are threatened by changes in its internal structure and behavior, it is possible to detect the development of a considerable amount of research and studies dealing with different perspectives of the large corporations' activities. As a counterpoint to the apparent deterioration of the internal political community, this effort intends to identify the commitments of the business circuit with the civic behavior and democracy, whether in the assertion of ethics in business, or in the perspective of the development of a social policy more compatible with the corporate strategies. It is in this context that the concept of social capital becomes the main articulator of political and theoretical disputes on the subject of the economic development and the changes verified in the industrial sector resulting from the expansion of new technologies and their effects regarding the need for a redimensioning of the intellectual property right.
Keywords : Sociological theory; corporation; technological revolution; social capital; intellectual property.

Revision as of 16:11, 9 April 2013
Simple Example - student
The "student" example is intended to provide a simple example of using JPA-RS with a single entity persistence unit in a web application.
The following are the minimal requirements for this example.
- EclipseLink 2.4.2
- Eclipse Java EE IDE - Juno Release, make sure m2e (the maven integration for Eclipse) is installed.
- Git access to eclipselink examples git repository. The steps to connect to the repo can be found below.
- Glassfish 3.1.2 or later
- REST client (Chrome Postman REST Client is used in this example, but you can use your favorite REST Client)
The following steps will be performed in setting up and running this example in your own environment
- Installation & Configuration
- Install Glassfish 126.96.36.199 or later
- Check out student example from GIT
- Database connectivity
- GlassFish - Datasource configuration
- Verify config
- Deploy web application
- Running the Example
- View metadata
- Create entity
- Update entity
- Query entity
- Delete entity
Installation and Configuration
1. If you are using Glassfish earlier than Glassfish 4.0 (http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/glassfish/4.0/promoted/) you will need to download newer version of EclipseLink 2.4.2 binaries from http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/downloads/nightly.php (2.4.2 Nightly Build Results) and replace following files under $GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/modules with corresponding jars you downloaded above:
- org.eclipse.persistence.antlr.jar
- org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jar
- org.eclipse.persistence.asm.jar
- org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.modelgen.jar
- org.eclipse.persistence.core.jar
- org.eclipse.persistence.oracle.jar
- javax.persistence.jar
- org.eclipse.persistence.dbws.jar
- org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.jar
Make sure you clear Glassfish osgi cache by removing the $GLASSFISH_HOME\glassfish\domains\<your_domain>\osgi-cache directory after you replaced the bundles listed above, and before you restart the Glassfish.
Note: If you want to see JPA-RS logs, add a logger for "org.eclipse.persistence.jpars". Currently exceptions are logged at "FINER" log level, so configure the logger to FINER or FINEST. Use Glassfish Admin Console-> Configurations-> default-config-> Logger Settings-> Log Levels tab -> Add Logger to add a logger for the JPA-RS.
2. Clone "examples" from git. The "student" example is stored under student folder.
git clone git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/eclipselink/examples.git
3. Configure datasource. Create an XA Datasource connection pool called "JPARSStudentDS" and define a new JDBC Resource using this connection pool. You can use any of the databases supported by the eclipselink.
Your database driver should be place under $GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/domains/<your_domain_folder>/lib/ext.
Use "Additional Properties" (shown below) tab to define database URL, User and Password (and other mandatory properties that the database you use might require).
4. Lauch eclipse. Select File->Import->Maven->Existing Maven Projects, hit next and point Root Directory to student folder. Hit finish.
5. Build the student project.
6.Configure a server.
7. Select GlassFish 3.1.2. Click "new server wizard" link on the Servers tab. If you don't see GlassFish listed in available server types, click "Download additional server adapters" and select Oracle Glassfish Server Tools to install GlassFish server adapter.
8. Enter domain directory, admin name and password based on your installation and hit Finish.
9. Deploy student.web. Right click on the Glassfish (on Servers tab), select "student.web" in available resources list. Hit Add and Finish.
Now, you are ready to run the student example.
Running the Example
- Launch Chrome and Postman
- Get metadata: GET http://localhost:8080/student.web/persistence/v1.0/jpars_example_student/metadata
- Create a student with a course: POST http://localhost:8080/student.web/persistence/v1.0/jpars_example_student/entity/Student/ (with the following body as an example):
"id": 65,
"name": "Jane Smith",
"courses": [
"name": "math"
- Execute a named query: GET http://localhost:8080/student.web/persistence/v1.0/jpars_example_student/query/Student.findAll to execute named query findAll query as defined in the eclipselink.example.jpars.student.model.Student entity.
- Delete student: DELETE http://localhost:8080/student.web/persistence/v1.0/jpars_example_student/entity/Student/65
