Ocean Exploration
and Awareness
Ray believes that the oceans – which cover 72 percent of the Earth's surface and 99 percent of its livable space – are the world's largest, most important and least adequately explored natural resource.
Ray's aim is to support researchers' exploration of the oceans and the public awareness of them so that most people recognize that ocean exploration is as or more important and more exciting than space exploration. He hopes to move the needle on ocean exploration and protection of its treasured assets.
To further this work, the Foundation leverages a one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art research vessel and a package of other equipment, including manned submersibles, helicopters, wet and dry labs, customized technology, as well the latest media and editing equipment. This vessel and equipment provide a platform to support the research of scientists worldwide and serve as a cutting-edge media platform that is used to share exciting discoveries with the public.
In order to support research and create media on the exploration of the oceans, the Dalio Foundation has worked with over 80 scientists at scientific research institutions, including Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the American Museum of Natural History, California Academy of Sciences, Yale University, Harvard University and local scientists and research institutions in various locations globally, as well as media partners including the BBC, National Geographic, PBS/NOVA, Conservation International, Silverback Films, Years of Living Dangerously, Atlantic Productions, NHK, and Fusion Media Group and Univision Communications.
The Foundation is also incubating a media production studio, www.oceanx.org. The production studio aims to recapture the excitement and importance of ocean exploration that Jacques Cousteau originally inspired, and to bring audiences along virtually on such explorations. Productions take the form of broadcast media, giant screen and other films, short form videos, social media, virtual reality, a museum exhibit, and impact-driven video games.
Thus far, the family and Foundation's funding of this initiative as well as support for the environment exceeds $108 million.

What's the greatest threat to democracy?
What's the greatest threat to democracy?
Some say it's al-Qaida. Or is it our indebtedness to China?
In fact, it's much closer to home.
It's every time a citizen fails to vote.
Every time town meeting fails to reach a quorum.
Every time an elected official abuses the public trust.
Every time a board of selectmen unnecessarily meets in executive session.
Every time a public official hires a friend over a more qualified candidate.
Every time a town hall employee fails to provide public records to a citizen.
Every time a police officer covers up for a fellow officer.
Every time a Speaker of the House accepts money in exchange for a favorable vote.
Every time power corrupts the halls of governance.
Every time money influences politics.
Every time a politician practices "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours."
These are all direct affronts to democracy, and they have all happened here in Massachusetts; some on SouthCoast.
Considering how many times behaviors like these have infected the Statehouse and local town halls, it's amazing democracy prevails. It appears resilient to the forces of corruption.
But for how long? Can it remain forever immune to injurious forces?
Like a dormant sickness, the bacteria of corruption threaten democracy.
The most obvious symptom of the declining health of democracy is cynicism. Citizens say there is nothing they can do to reverse the process of deterioration. They say this is "politics as usual," the way it has always been done.
And then apathy settles in like a bad cold, or worse, a chronic disease. Citizens fail to participate in the local, state and national political process. They stand idly by while charlatans gain elected and appointed office.
Then, when things get bad enough, the apathetic wake up and begin chanting their favorite mantra: "Throw all the bums out," even if it means sacrificing the most honest and diligent among them.
This cannot be.
Voters must take a more active role in the direction of their town, state and nation. And when they see any behavior that injures democracy, they must stand up and say, "We will not tolerate this any longer."
The next time you get disgusted about how town hall works, and want to find the source of the problem, take a look in the mirror.
Then do something about it.

The Simpsons (1989)
1 corrected entry in Tree House of Horror XII
Starring: Dan Castellaneta, Hank Azaria, Harry Shearer, Julie Kavner, Kelsey Grammer, Nancy Cartwright, Phil Hartman, Yeardley Smith
Tree House of Horror XII - S13-E1
Corrected entry: In the leprechaun short episode, a lot of things attend the wedding, including Kang and Kodos, the space aliens. One of Kang/Kodos starts crying and says: "I always secrete ocular fluid at weddings." Yet, in another clip episode, the space aliens invade Homer's Roasting Hour. Lisa thinks they're crying, but they say that they are vomiting from their eyes. Yet, in this episode, one of them starts to cry.
Correction: The key words here are "they say". We have no idea if they are telling the truth or if they are crying when they tell this to Lisa. Besides this, we also have no idea about how the bodies of the aliens work. It could be that both their crying AND their vomiting takes place through the same channels (the tearducts).Twotall

I've given up trying to do a garment out of the Sundara Aran silky merino. Don't get me wrong, I love the yarn but I've also knit so many test samples that have stretched from here to Timbuktu that I'll use it for something like a shawl or an afghan. In fact, while cruising patterns on Ralvery (one of my most favorite things) I found an afghan pattern that called to me and bought the book used on Amazon.
Gorgeous Knitted Afghans
Imagine a photo of the book here.
The Lace and Pearls
Imagine a closeup photo of the pattern here.
Like all books this one has things I like and dislike. I'm not big on fringes or huge pearls dangling off of things. I've yet to fall in love with bobbles either. But, those details can always be adjusted to suit ones fancy and taste.
If you haven't noticed, there are few, well, actually, no photos. My dear Fujufilm has broken yet again. It has been mailed off and my old Canon brought out of retirement. I discovered that the rechargeable batteries didn't. Age creeps up on us all and somehow the household was currently experiencing a shortage of batteries. Some very deep scrounging around produced three rather vintage double A's and cannibalizing a small hand held recorder produced another ancient battery. Thankfully, there was just enough charge to take take a few photos of knitting.
The Minnowknits bib overalls.
Done at last. 3/4 done in the newborn size and frogged due to excessive baby growth.
There was a pm comment from The Enabler about how my nails needed some Red Hot Pink. so I did a little Photoshoping. A bit more on the red rather than pink side but why be so picky?
Little dragon buttons. A pain to button up but so very cute.
Size 4's and about 5 skeins knit in the Year One size (let us hope they fit and that he hasn't just grown right past Year One's). Lana Grossa Multicot Print in some sort of colorway that was mostly gray with some purple shades. The purple stained my fingers and made my bamboo needles dark. I switched to metal and they had to be washed now and again otherwise the yarn just wouldn't slide. It was AmaZINGly splitty but despite all of this I rather liked it. I bought it at the annual sidewalk sale at Meadowfarms.
One of the insidious things a LYS can do is have a sale rack. An annual sale is nice but a regular, you just don't know what is going to be there so the rack just calls to you as you walk in. What knitter can resist finding yarn at half off? I can't. I don't NEED 14 skeins of linen/cotton but it is HALF OFF!!! Discontinued!! SOLD!! Despite my deep desire to knit from stash (it having now overflowed it's original storage area) I still find myself picking up yarn on sale.
Emmy keeps bringing beautiful yarn from her stash to knit night and giving it away. Even better than half off.
Not on sale though I wish.
I suspect that Gail must be in cahoots with The Enabler. She brings various yarns that she has bought to knit night and showing them to me.
This rather terrible photo is of two skeins of Eidos from The Sanguine Gryphon. I'm making Demure from it. My first somewhat lacy shawl. It's intended for my stepson's girlfriend but it might be awfully hard to pry this out of my fingers. I ADORE the yarn. They have the most charming website too. I want more of this and I want it NOW.
I did my annual Celtic Festival in Sebastopol. Lots of photos on the memory card! Inaccessible!!! It was outrageously hot all weekend long. I went over to Petaluma with my gf and we again enjoyed what a wonderful LYS Knitterly is. I bought yarn that *will not stretch* for my continuing efforts to make the Silk Open Cardi. The left front (my fourth? fifth?) did not stretch and I'm almost finished with the back. Success may be just over there near the counter. Wish me luck. It's a linen cotton blend in a pale blue. Linova, Colorway 2474 . Thankfully, it doesn't split very easily and isn't making my hands cramp like the Lana Grossa did. Cotton, so lovely, so difficult on the body to knit with.
The kittens continue to thrive and I have no photos to prove it. I would happily show you all the puncture marks all over my body, the chewed off earbud from my Zune, the nibbled ziplock bags, the carpet covered in toys, shredded pieces of paper....well, you get my drift. They are adorable. They are getting Very Big. They are pretty much sure about what happens in the litterbox. We are grateful.

The Walter J. Ong, S.J., Center for Digital Humanities at Saint Louis University advances scholarship in the humanities by finding solutions to questions arising from the unique character of the digital environment.
The Center develops research resources, standards and tools to foster student learning and faculty and scholarly research. The Ong Center was established to honor the memory of
Walter J. Ong, S.J., a distinguished scholar of literature and media theory who spent his career as a professor of English at SLU.
As a research center at a Jesuit Catholic university, the Center for Digital Humanities at Saint Louis University participates in the five hundred year old academic tradition of the Society of Jesus that seeks to discover new ways of understanding truth by exploring, engaging, and investigating the boundaries and frontiers of technology, knowledge and human existence.
The W.J. Ong S.J. Center for Digital Humanities seeks to advance scholarship and learning in the humanities by creating solutions to answer the needs of the user arising from the unique character of the digital environment.
The Center develops research resources, fully engages with standards and builds tools fostering student learning and faculty and scholarly research.
The Center strives to support a creative trans-disciplinary environment where experimentation and innovation are applied to research, pedagogy and service.
As an internationally active center for research in the digital humanities, we seek to leverage technology to solve intractable obstacles to effective research in the humanities, sharing knowledge by developing and enforcing interoperable standards, and promoting education within and through the digital humanities. The developers in the CDH work closely with researchers in several fields and across a wide range of experience and technical expertise. The result is that each project is tailored to its creators, users, and audience, but remains accessible to all who may wish to engage with it.
Digital tools and methods can empower scholars to revisit existing problems from new perspectives and enable them to extend scholarship in previously impractical directions. The center's staff members serve as hub for sharing expertise in digital technology and are a available for consultation.
The OngCDH has built pedagogical tools for paleography in several languages and is developing coursework and resources at Saint Louis University to train the next generation of humanities scholars.

The emergence of computation in humanities research continues to proliferate new data and analyses at an accelerating rate. For decades those within the field have been working to find standard and exchangeable ways to encode, transfer, and preserve the growing repository of the world's digitized knowledge. Our efforts have focused on reaching beyond the field, to enable machine encoding of objects, descriptions, and assertions in a way which may cross languages and disciplines.
Interoperability means data can be understood by anyone who has need of it, encoding allows for the most complete and accurate descriptions available, and attribution and citation is built into contributions so that each new scholar enters into the history of their subject, and academic conversations are open and durable.

Instead, CamelBak filling stations dotted the grounds and paper boxes of water were for sale. The park was kept clean and free of trash by the event's staff, volunteers and festival patrons.

Every weekend, the Sixers writers at Khandyman Sports will be publishing a mock draft, projecting who the Sixers will select with each pick. Up this week, editor-in-chief Manav Khandelwal. To see them all, click here.
Ever since the trade deadline, the Philadelphia 76ers (15-50) have been one of the worst teams in NBA history. They have lost 19 games in a row, and give up 110 points per game. Michael Carter-Williams has started to recover from slamming into the rookie wall in January and February, averaging 8.1 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game in March. We've also gotten more extended looks at guys like James Anderson, who is averaging an impressive 13.7 points per game since Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes were dealt.
We all know, however, that few of these current Sixers will be here within a couple of years, especially given the amount of picks the team possesses in the next couple drafts. This draft will give the Sixers opportunities to scoop up top-end and upside talent in both rounds, helping to fill out the roster going into 2014-2015.
1st round, 2nd overall: SF Andrew Wiggins
If the Milwaukee Bucks get the first pick and select Kansas center Joel Embiid as is predicted, I see Sixers general manager Sam Hinkie selecting his teammate Andrew Wiggins.
While I am a fan of Jabari Parker, Wiggins has made up for a slow start to the season in a big way over the past several weeks, and everything about him screams "Sam Hinkie!". He has length on defense, is incredibly athletic, can shoot the ball, and has an explosive first step to the rim. While he may not be as polished as Parker is, his ceiling is certainly the highest in this draft.
With MCW and Wiggins clogging up passing lanes on the perimeter, teams will find it difficult to move the ball around against the Sixers. In addition, Wiggins will complement rather than replace MCW offensively, something I do not see Parker being able to do as effectively.
There is a reason this kid was the consensus top player in the incoming freshman class, and he's shown it lately: he's racked up 93 points, 23 rebounds, and 9 steals in his last three games.
1st round, 11th overall (from NOLA): SG/SF Doug McDermott
Let's get right down to it: we all know Doug McDermott is an offensive nightmare for the opposing team. He had 12 30-plus point games this season, most in the NCAA, and averaged an incredible 26.7 points per game. He hit 52.5% of his field goals and 45.6% of his three-pointers while scooping up seven rebounds per game.
Many NBA scouts and fans, however, especially Sixers fans, do not want McDermott because of his defensive struggles. While he may be a defensive liability one-on-one, McDermott will fit in perfectly with MCW, Nerlens Noel, and Andrew Wiggins in Brett Brown's defensive scheme. He won't have to guard opposing point guards or small forwards, meaning he'll usually be matched up on a shoot-first guard. This plays to his strength, his size (he's 6'7″, 225 pounds).
In addition, McDermott will mesh perfectly offensively with the team Hinkie is trying to build. He does not demand the ball, which means it can be in the hands of MCW and Wiggins, and runs/positions himself well off the ball. He will feed off of opportunities created by his teammates, spacing the floor and demanding attention offensively.
2nd round, 32nd overall: G/F Roy Devyn Marble
Roy Devyn Marble is one of the most versatile players in this draft, and when you combine with his nice scoring ability off the dribble, you have a player that the Sixers would be smart to take early in the 2nd round.
Marble averages 17.3 points per game, but is strong in many areas: he can facilitate, rebound, defend, and shoot the three-pointer. His two weaknesses, his motor and jump shot, will prevent him going in the first round, but he can play point guard, shooting guard, and small forward. His versatility makes him valuable to a young team that is just looking to find its identity, and he could emerge as a solid 6th or 7th man for the team going forward with his strong scoring ability.
2nd round, 38th overall (from CLE): PF James Michael McAdoo
There are few 2nd-round prospects who I like more than UNC forward James Michael McAdoo. McAdoo averages 14.2 points and 6.7 rebounds per game for the Tar Heels, converting 46.1% of his field goal chances.
McAdoo is exactly what the Sixers are looking for in a power forward. With MCW, Wiggins, and McDermott potentially locking up the perimeter, at this point the team will be looking to shore up the front court.
Nerlens Noel is a freakish athlete with very strong defensive skills, but he is far from polished offensively. McAdoo is a very solid post player, using his athleticism, body control, and natural instincts to score in and around the paint. With already promising passing skills, he is the perfect complement to Noel up front and has the potential to be a very solid starting power forward in the NBA.
2nd round, 45th overall (from MEM): PG Russ Smith
At this point in the draft, the Sixers will be looking for upside plays. And why not take Louisville senior guard Russ Smith, one of the most prodigious scorers in the NCAA whose playing style resembles a man whose number was recently retired at the Wells Fargo Center, Allen Iverson?
A 6′ guard who is 170 pounds soaking wet, Smith is one of the toughest, most aggressive players in the country. He will attack anybody off the dribble, using his explosiveness and fearlessness to get to the rim and make a play. He averages 18.2 points per game, and also facilitates for his Louisville team, with 4.7 assists per game.
You can never count Russ out of anything, and he would fit well with Brown's up-tempo style of play.
2nd round, 47th overall (from BRK): PF/C Alec Brown
This is where Hinkie will fill his "Spencer Hawes-esque white center" quota, which is currently filled by Byron Mullens. Brown, from Wisconsin-Green Bay, is not very strong in the paint, but can score and runs the pick-and-roll well. With some added strength and wait with NBA conditioning, he could become a solid backup big man.
2nd round, 55th overall (from HOU): SF CJ Fair
If CJ Fair is there at No. 55, which many predict he will be, expect the Sixers to grab the Syracuse prospect. Fair is another disruptive defender who is not necessarily great on-the-ball but can settle into the Sixers' defense and clog up passing lanes. Like McDermott, he plays well off the ball and can shoot the rock, and with his upside, this pick could end up panning out in a big way, and if not . . . it was the 55th pick.

My sister and I are meeting in Chicago for business and fun. We'll be staying at Hyatt Regency on East Wacker, correct me if I'm wrong, I believe it is in the River North, Miracle Mile area. We'll be there towards the end of May (for 5 days).
We'd like suggestions on places to eat. Frontera Grill is, of course, one of our targets. One of us favors vegetarian, but is not limited to that cuisine. The other one is allergic to shell fish and prefers not to visit the local hospitals.
One lived on the east coast and truly misses the "good" pizza of the midwest, so we'll do that one day too, probably Uno's.
We will be there on business, so we don't have to go cheap, however, we're not opposed to being good employees and saving the company some pennies.

The Decline of Customer Service in America!
Here you see my snugs getting great customer service. It didnt come easy though! This was after many tries earlier Friday morning when we were suit shopping for him! I thought to myself oh yeah, suit shopping, no problem, those things are expensive = big commision = great service. .... Ugh NOT. SO. MUCH.
One of our stops was Banana Republic. I know, I know, the are not a "Suit Store" but they do in fact sell suits, so I expect them to have somewhat of a knowledge base or desire to sell them. That was mistake Number 1. The guy I talked to, who had on a horrible outfit indeed, was so not interested in helping us whatsoever, offering us any advice or talking in general. The Most he did in that 45 minutes was walk to the back to check for Snubs' Size. That was it. UGh I was pretty irritated, cause I like their suits and thought that would be easy.
Next Stop, Brooks Brothers. Worth.Every.Penny. Mostly women working there, all knew TONS and were helping us like it was their life's mission. In addition, our main girl was really attractive, which was helpful when she went to pulling, tugging and commenting on Erik's preference of sagging his pants. At one point, I was laughing so hard I was crying, which was really irritating to Snugs as he stood all pinned up and center of attention, but I just could not help myself. (sorry snuggle buggle).
Being that this sales woman's clothes were very perfectly fitted to her, I was totally confident in her abilities to fit Snugs in a new suit! I cant wait to see it!
But I say all this to say, Customer Service is basically DEAD in America, and you know what ? It's our own fault. 98% of Americans want the fast and cheap and will choose that over quality and service any day. I myself, am just as guilty as anyone. I mean, purchasing non OEM cell phone chargers from China and things of the like are a prime example of how this all came to be.
It has affected me greatly in my online store. It is very clear that it matters not to people if their item is authentic , real, or quality, just that it looks a certain way and they pay a certain and VERY cheap price. Its pathetic really. And so no wonder these stores have bitter employees who pay very little attention to the buyer and know very little about their product.
We have become "Ameri-Mart" which is America with a Wal-Mart Approach to commerce. It has gotten so bad that the few times I have actually recieved good or helpful service I have sat down and written a letter to that store to let them know how GREAT it was! ha
I don't know what the slution is to this other than to really try and buy American, but as for my store. I beleive I am no longer going to carry High End Brands and start selling cheaper "of the moment" type clothes.

Oh yes, good store! Lulu gets ALL of his suits at Jos.A Bank, which is also pretty excellent with customer service. Not cheap, but you've got to spend money for quality products!

D goes to Jo. A Bank too, but knows his size, so orders online, because the store in Bham didn't have great service (but I think some do). A good place to buy a suit is also Saks or Nordstrom, or a local men's store, but pricey!

Dang! Why didnt I think of JosABAnk? Next time I shall. I just cant spend that kind of money with anyone who blatantly refuses to help when shopping. Grrrrrr

I was at BR recently to buy a blazer and the staff was extremely helpful in trying to ensure I had the right fit. I think you just stumbled upon a sh!tty employee, or a BR whose mgmt is lame, or both. Nonetheless, I think I puked in my mouth after I read the word "snugs" for the 7th time in one paragraph.

JosA Bank is where it's at. Trent gets all his stuff there, and they are super helpful. AND once they measure you they'll order any color or style you want.

I am sure the Brooks Brothers employees get way higher commission and that is what it boils down to $$$$. Sad, but when buying a premium product only accept premium customer service! It's demanded of me on a daily basis, so I better get mine when the time comes around!! :)
Erik looks Fierce though! ;)

Committee Recommends CAPS Programming
Waukee Community School District (WCSD) is planning to be the first school district to bring CAPS programming to Iowa. At the June 24 Board of Education meeting, the board heard the Secondary Study Committee's recommendation to implement CAPS programing for the 2014-15 school year. The presentation was prepared by RSP & Associates, who the board engaged to facilitate the committee work and lead the group in accomplishing its charge.
CAPS stands for the Center for Advanced Professional Studies and will be a part of the comprehensive educational experience provided for students at Waukee High School. CAPS is not a second high school, trade school or vocational program. CAPS will provide students with the opportunity to deeply explore professions of interest through a problem-based, inquiry learning method.
"Students will earn both high school and college credit, giving them a jump-start on their postsecondary work. They will gain experience beyond the traditional classroom, get the hands-on experiential learning colleges value, solve real-world problems that impact our business partners bottom line and future success, and apply classroom knowledge to real-world situations," David J. Wilkerson, Ph.D., Superintendent of Waukee Schools said.
The CAPS philosophy is built around the idea that ALL students must acquire cutting-edge skills to be successful in the "Innovation Generation." CAPS represents the collaboration of education, business and community, providing students with a unique, immersive experience, resulting in highly skilled, adaptable, global innovators and leaders. The learning will be student driven and teachers will facilitate the learning process through profession-based learning opportunities.
"CAPS will provide junior and senior students with real-world experiences in corporate settings, where they can learn and develop skills in high-demand local corporate environments. It has the potential to transform the high school experience through innovative programming targeted to business partner-directed projects, and immersion in profession-based programs," Wilkerson said. "It's an opportunity for the district to provide real benefit to the local business community, and at the same time provide exceptional educational programming for our students that currently doesn't exist in Iowa."
Arriving to the CAPS recommendation was a long process. In the spring of 2011 the Waukee Board of Education established a goal for administrators to study a 'redesign' of the senior year. As a result of the study, the administration concluded that the district needed to identify ways to continue the expansion of academic opportunities for all high school students:
Additional programs for Career and Technical Education
Increased number of AP (advanced program) classes
New courses in computer applications
Additional staff, leading to increased opportunities in the area of engineering (Project Lead the Way)
About the CAPS Committee
In the spring of 2012 the board directed the administration to establish a committee to study secondary programming for the Waukee Community School District (WCSD). This committee was formally approved at a school board meeting during the fall of 2012. The 47-member committee included community members, administrators, teachers, DMACC representation and Waukee city government representatives.
The official charge for the committee included:
Study enrollment projections and high school capacity, as well as future educational programming, and make a recommendation to the Board of Education in June of 2013 regarding possible program solutions and facility needs. The board has engaged the services of RSP & Associates to facilitate the committee work and lead the group in accomplishing its' charge.
Five meetings were held at the district office from February to June 2013. The minutes and PowerPoint presentations can be viewed on the district website here.
At the June 3 Secondary Study Committee meeting, it was determined that CAPS was the best solution to meet the educational needs of our students now and in the future.
In addition to having access to high-quality instructors, CAPS students are also able to interact with professionals in the business community. Each student is assigned a mentor to serve as a role model through the CAPS educational experience.
Blue Valley School District in Overland Park, KS was the first district to implement CAPS programing with courses being hosted at satellite locations during the 2009-10 school year. In 2011 they were recognized on a national level with the prestigious Edison Gold Award in the Living, Working and Learning Environments category.
Districts implementing CAPS for the 2013-2014 school year include:
- Minnetonka, MN
- Topeka, KS
- Park City, UT
- North Kansas City, MO
For additional information regarding CAPS, please contact:
Kirk Johnson, High School Principal
Michelle Lettington, Executive Director of Professional Learning and Curriculum

FOll WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 15, 1879.
(From our Chi istchurch Correspondent. )
1 have again to congratulate the farmers and all who benefit by their prosperity, upon another day or two's rain. The effect upon the spirits of all concerned must be most cheering, and no doubt will impress new-comers with admiration of the solid advantages we possess over the old country in the quality of the soil, and the salubrity of our climate. This subject leads me on to one I consider has been lost sight of by many persons whose interests should have induced them to give the matter some amount of cousi leration, viz., the supply of fodder to the different mining districts, and notably the West Coast.
Some eight or ten years hack an extensive trade sprung up in the supply of baled chaff. At that time the demand far exceeded the supply, and hardly a vessel left Lyttelton for the Coast that did not carry at least 70 to 100, and in some cases 300 bales of chaff, to either Hokitika or Greymouth, where our best brands realised, landed, up to £l3 per ton, Melbourne chaff at the same market realising about the same price. Since then, Melbourne has done her best to cut us out and has so far succeeded, with the assistance of the cheap freight, and a knowledge of what was required; I consider this state of affairs never should have been allowed to transpire. I will endeavor to shortly give a few of the reasons why this came about, and the cause of our failure to take advantage of our immense natural resources, and point out the superiority of Canterbury over almost any other part of the Southern Hemisphere to supply the raw material for its manufacture.
Like every new industry started, it must labor under the disadvantage of requiring some treatment different to what the tillers of the soil had been accustomed to. It interfered with old-fashioned ideas, and did not fit in with farmers' preconceived notions as to what was the proper thing to do. However, in this, as in all other first attempts, a gentleman who now occupies a position in the foremost ranks of the agricultural community, stepped out of the beaten track and showed what might be done by planting about 300 acres of oats for special purpose. The result would have been a splendid success, had we not experienced a very wet harvest, which partially spoilt a crop averaging at least four tons per acre, and prevented the highest market price being obtained. There was, however, quite sufficient evidence to prove that with an ordinary season the venture would turn out an undoubted financial success.
The plan adopted was to sow on fair soil about 3| to 4 bushels of Tartarian oats per acre, and it has been proved that being sown thick, when once out of the ground all moisture in the air is more rapidly absorbed and retained than with thin sowing, and a quicker growth of straw is induced, as in the case of trees closely planted. This, coming in earlier than the ordinary crops, from the fact that it should be cut just as the sap is set, gives ample time for the proper turning and drying, before it is necessary to tie and stack. lam quite prepared to meet with many objections on the part of cultivators whose farms are distant from centres of population. This, of course, must militate against every industry until necessity brings the remedy in the shape of branch lines and cheap transit. What is required is the material of as good quality and at as cheap a rate as our neighbors can produce, and our merchants will soon find an outlet in those markets most suitable for its consumption.
I may here remark that shipowners are not altogether blameless in this matter as the rates of freight hitherto charged on baled chaff to Hokitika and Greymouth, viz., 90s per ton dead weight, if not prohibitory is certainly a bar to business, and has resulted in driving the trade to Melbourne, whence, I understand, it is carried and delivered on the wharf at about 13s per ton. These facts only go to prove that a direct route to the West Coast by rail is most urgently needed, and deserves more attention from the commercial community than it has hitherto received. I have no change to report in values of general produce. Wheat is still firm at last quotation, and any good parcels offering are eagerly bought up for local use. Barley stocks in farmers' hands appear quite exhausted, and only very small inferior parcels are now offering. Oats are, if anything, easier, with no disposition on the part of the trade to operate beyond immediate requirements. Potatoes for shipment and seed purposes meet with ready buyers at full rates.

Messrs H. Matson and Co. report on the live stock market, &c. for the week ending Thursday, October 16, as follows : Yesterday's weekly market at the metropolitan yards was fully supplied with all classes of stock, 406 head of cattle, 5950 head of sheep, and 32 pigs being penned for the week's requirements. In fat sheep we have seldom seen a better display, both of point of numbers and quality, as out of the total entries not more than six or seven hundred were storer. Shorn sheep ai« now being brought largely to hand, and judging from what we have seen they come out of their wool remarkably well, Messrs J. Grigg, C. Hurse, J. Bell, a id others being the chief contributors in this class yesterday. In woollies, Messrs Gould and Cameron carried off the palm with their first draft of the Springfield wethers, and it will be sufficient to say that both in weight and quality they fully maintained their past reputation, topping the market with crossbreds at 15s 3d, jnermos at 12s.
There was an average attendance of the trade, and sales opened brisker than was anticipated, considering the large supply, most of the lines being quitted as the auction progressed. Towards the middle and close of the sale, however, prices gave way, and became irregular, and to effect a clearance salesmen had to accept a decline of the extent of last week s rise, leaving the quotation at 2W per lb. for wood quality mutton in wool, or l|d per lb. shorn. In store sheep there is very little doing for want of supplies, the few sent to hand being mostly culls and odd lots, but for anything like sound young healthy sheep there is an active enquiry, and high rates ruling. . Fat lambs are a scarcity in the market. There are plenty to hand, such as they are, but of any that really deserve the name, there has not been more than one or two small lines penned this season. The general quality of the beef on offer was very inferior and second rate, and with full markets of good cattle for several weeks past, at which butchers had bought heavily, they are in a position to decline such as was offered them yesterday, which they did, except at reduced rates, a dull and unsatisfactory sale being the result. Store cattle are in slightly better request, but there is still plenty of room for improvement in prices, and not more than half the number yarded were disposed of. Fresh condition two-year-olds, to be put on for immediate grazing, are, perhaps, the most in demand and ready for sale. Money is still very difficult to collect, and there is considerable tightness in commercial circles, but still the trade bills are very well met. There are large sums seeking investment upon mortgages, but satisfactory securities are difficult to obtain. The procuration fe3s upon this class of investment have been greatly reduced.
The following is the report of the Com Exchange for the week ending Friday evening, October 17th, 1879 : The grain crops all through the provinces are reported as looking well. During the week the weather has been favorable. The late copious rain, winch has 'been general, will prove very beneficial. The accounts from all the Australasian colonies speak well of the prospect of the com crops, with a promise of double the yield of that of last year. The corn market in London shows signs of great firmness. The wheat shipments afloat for the United Kingdom are considerably above the average. Wheat—The market is barely supplied, with an increased demand. Holders are firmer in their demands, and asking advanced rates. The tone of the market is in favor of the seller. First-class milling wheat is worth 5s ; medium, 4s Gd to 4s lOd ; chick wheat, 3s 6d to 3s lOd per bushel. Oats.—The demand is only local. Holders are anxious to sell at reduced rates. These is little demand for export. Good milling oats cannot be. quoted at over 2s 3d to 2s Gd ; feed, 2s Id to 2s 3d per bushel. Barley.—The inquiries for malting barley are not brisk. The market is bare of good samples. The maltsters seem not disposed to operate. Prime barley is worth 5s 3d to 5s 9d ; medium, 4s Gd to 5s per bushel. Potatoes.—The demand has increased ; rates have consequently advanced. There is a good inquiry for export and for seed purposes. Stocks are reported as being very light. Derwents in good shipping order have a ready sale at £4 to £4 10s per ton ; prime seed samples have been sold at £4 per ton. Grass seed. —There is no inquiry ; rates are nominal.

A video tutorial on how you can enable Multi Factor Authentication or MFA as it is called, for the users in the Azure Active Directory.
Enable Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) For Users In Azure Active Directory31. August 2017 14:34
Single Sign-On In ASP.NET Core With Azure Active Directory8. May 2017 15:21
.NET Core ASP.NET ASP.NET MVC Azure C# Cloud
Visual Studio has made integrating of Azure Active Directory authentication in web applications very simple. If you are creating the application and want to integrate the AD authentication then it is a pretty easy task given that you have an Active Directory in Azure. But what if you have an application and it is out there running and now you want to change the authentication medium of your application so you can have better control and security of your web application. I already have an application and I want to integrate Azure AD authentication, hence I will not be able to change the authentication just like that. I have to manually make the changes to do so. So here it is what I have done to integrate Azure Active Directory in my ASP.NET Core web application.
Step 1: Create Azure Active Directory
When provisioning a new Azure Active Directory you have to go to the old portal manage.windowsazure.com. At the time of writing this blog post, the product team is still in a process of migrating the complete AD feature sets from the old portal to the new portal. Therefore, to create a new AD in Azure, click the Active Directory in the left pane and you will be able to see all the active directories. In the below screen shot you can see that I am a part of Microsoft Active Directory as a User.
If you are planning to use any of the current Active Directory out of the one listed, you can click on it and register your application and users. Note that you have to be a Global Administrator to do that. If you want to create a new Active Directory, then click the NEW button at the bottom left corner to create a new Active Directory.
Click on CUSTOM CREATE and a new dialog box will appear in front of you to enter the name of your Active Directory.
The green check box in the DOMAIN NAME denotes that the name you have chosen for your active directory is available. When done click the tick button or icon at the bottom right corner of the dialog box to create a new active directory.
Step 2: Add a user
After the creation of active directory is successfully completed, you can see the new created active directory in the list. Notice the ROLE as Global Administrator. Click on the active directory name to view the details. First, I am going to add a new user to the directory. When inside the active directory, click the USERS which in the top of the page.
Step 3: Add an application to the Active Directory
Step 4: Setting up the web application
Note that all the changes I am making to my existing application are exactly the same as the sample application.
@{ ViewData["Title"] = "Access Denied"; }
Access Denied.

You do not have access to this resource.
 Code for SignedOut .cshtml view.
@{ ViewData["Title"] = "Sign Out"; }
@ViewData["Title"].

You have successfully signed out.
Add below NuGet packages for AD authentication support in the application.
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication Install-Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies Install-Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.OpenIdConnectIn the .NET Core project, you will also see a new file called appsettings.json. Add the below configuration to it. Your configuration will than mine.
"Authentication": { "AzureAd": { "ClientId": "0d9h56ba-ccfd-42f2-9a75-64d8e96756e6", "AadInstance": "https://login.microsoftonline.com/", "CallbackPath": "/signin-oidc", "Domain": "dominicdomain.onmicrosoft.com", "TenantId": "d58e5363-f09c-4d65-9808-cd88396529f0" } }In the Startup.cs file, configure the request pipeline by adding the below code in the Configure method. I have added this code just after the UseStaticFiles() functions. This enables the application to use the cookie authentication and OpenId authentication.
app.UseCookieAuthentication(); app.UseOpenIdConnectAuthentication(new OpenIdConnectOptions { ClientId = Configuration["Authentication:AzureAd:ClientId"], Authority = Configuration["Authentication:AzureAd:AADInstance"] + Configuration["Authentication:AzureAd:TenantId"], CallbackPath = Configuration["Authentication:AzureAd:CallbackPath"] });In the ConfigureServices method, add the below code.
services.AddAuthentication(options => options.SignInScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);In the AccountController.cs, add the below code.
[HttpGet] public IActionResult SignIn() { return Challenge( new AuthenticationProperties { RedirectUri = "/" }, OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme); } [HttpGet] public IActionResult SignOut() { var callbackUrl = Url.Action(nameof(SignedOut), "Account", values: null, protocol: Request.Scheme); return SignOut(new AuthenticationProperties { RedirectUri = callbackUrl }, CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme, OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme); } [HttpGet] public IActionResult SignedOut() { if (HttpContext.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated) { return RedirectToAction(nameof(HomeController.Index), "Home"); } return View(); } [HttpGet] public IActionResult AccessDenied() { return View(); }Add a new partial view in the Shared folder and name it _LoginPartial.cshtml just like we have in new default scaffold project.
@using System.Security.Principal @using System.Security.Claims @if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated) { var claims = ((ClaimsIdentity)User.Identity).Claims; var username = claims.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Type == "name")?.Value; //Uncomment the below code to see the complete email address of the user. @*
Hello @User.Identity.Name!
*@

Hello @username!

Sign Out

 } else {

Sign in

 }Open _Layout.cshtml page, add the below line of code to render this partial view so users can sign in and sign out.
@await Html.PartialAsync("_LoginPartial")
Building Web Based Temperature/Humidity Monitor App With Raspberry PI 3 and Azure IoT Hub2. April 2017 07:39
ASP.NET MVC Azure Cloud IoT Projects Raspberry Pi Web Windows
I was planning to build a web based temperature/humidity monitoring app with Raspberry PI 3 and Windows 10 IoT Core. I have playing around with Raspbian for a while now and this time I wanted to try something different. I have been using Python to write application for Raspberry PI, Windows IoT Core with C# will be something new for me and therefore, this time I choose to go with Windows 10 IoT Core.
Here is the list of things to get started:
- Raspberry PI 3 with Windows 10 IoT Core
- Adafruit BME280 Temperature Humidity Pressure sensor\
- Jumper wires
- Power Bank
- Visual Studio 2015/2017
- IoT Dashboard
- Azure account
Setting up the PI with Windows 10 IoT Core is a very straight forward process. You can read about it more here. I recommend to connect the device to your Wi-Fi network. This will give you a benefit to move your device around. The problem for the first time users will be that the device will not auto-connect to the Wi-Fi network. To solve this problem, you need to use a wired LAN connection from the network or from the local computer. Once plugged in you will be able to see the device in the IoT dashboard from where you can go to Device Portal and connect to the Wi-Fi network. After the connection is successful, you can then remove the LAN cable. To follow the exact steps, head over to this documentation. This is how your device will get displayed in the IoT dashboard.
Getting things ready in Azure
You can set up things in the cloud from the Azure Portal as well as from the IoT Dashboard itself. From dashboard you can create and provisioned a new IoT Hub and register the device in that Hub. Here is how you can do that. First sign-in to your Azure account by clicking the Sign-In option in the left hand side bar. After the sign-in is successful, you will be prompted with the below screen where you can provision a new IoT Hub and add your current device in the hub.
I am skipping the step for setting the IoT Hub from the Azure Portal as there is a good documentation available at Azure Docs. Pushing data to the IoT Hub with the SDK is easy but you can't make use of the IoT Hub alone to read that data and do your work. Therefore, you also need to set up a Queue to read that data. As of now, you cannot create a Queue from the new Azure Portal instead you have to head towards the old portal at manage.windowsazure.com and create a queue from there. To create a queue, click the New>App Services>Service Bus>Queue>Quick Create. Fill in the details to create a new queue.
Make sure that the region you are selecting here for the queue, it should be the same as your IoT Hub region. If you select a different region than that of your IoT Hub, you will not be able to associate this queue with the hub endpoint.
In the Azure Portal, to associate this queue with the IoT Hub endpoint, click the Endpoints and then click Add to add the queue to the endpoint.
Setting up the circuit
Now as you have the device and the OS ready, you can now build the circuit. The BME280 sensor can be used with both I2C and SPI. For the project, I am using I2C. Below is the Fritzing diagram for your reference. You can download the Fritzing sketch file on Github repo.
Creating Device Application
I am using Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise Edition to build the device application and the web monitor application which I will be hosting in the cloud. For creating the device application, start with selection the Windows Universal project templates and then select Blank App (Universal) template.
There is a project template available for Visual Studio which will let you build applications for Raspberry PI. The problem with that project type is that you will not be able to make use of the libraries or the SDK available for .NET yet. You can still build applications with this project type but you have to make use of REST API and using REST API is not as straight-forward as SDKs.
After the project creation is successful, you need to add below dependencies which will let you connect to IoT Hub and have a device to cloud communication. Below are the NuGet packages you need to install.
This package will enable you to have a device to cloud communication.
Install-Package BuildAzure.IoT.Adafruit.BME280
This package is the wrapper for the BME280 sensor.
Install-Package Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Client
Add the below namespaces in the Main.xaml.cs file.
using Newtonsoft.Json; using Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Client; using BuildAzure.IoT.Adafruit.BME280;
Declare the variables.
private DeviceClient _deviceClient; private BME280Sensor _sensor; private string iotHubUri = "piiothub.azure-devices.net"; private string deviceKey = "Tj60asOk5ffVAT6a6SvZKMOqo8DYKSwWV7eQ2pLf0/k=";
The iothuburi is the URL for the IoT Hub created in the Azure portal or from the IoT dashboard. You can get the device key from the Device Explorer section in the IoT Hub. You can see how to get the Key from the Device Explorer from the below screen shot. I am using the Primary Key as a devicekey in my code.
In the constructor, initialize the DeviceClient and BME280Sensor objects. I have commented out the InitializeComponent(), but if you want you can keep it as it is.
public MainPage() { //this.InitializeComponent(); deviceClient = DeviceClient.Create(iotHubUri, new DeviceAuthenticationWithRegistrySymmetricKey("raspberrypi", deviceKey), TransportType.Mqtt); _sensor = new BME280Sensor(); DeviceToCloudMessage(); }
Now add a function named DeviceToCloudMessage which will connect to the IoT Hub using the device key, read the sensor data, serialize the data in JSON format and send it to the IoT Hub. Add this at the very bottom of the constructor.
private async void DeviceToCloudMessage() { await _sensor.Initialize(); float temperature = 0.00f; float humidity = 0.00f; while (true) { temperature = await _sensor.ReadTemperature(); humidity = await _sensor.ReadHumidity(); var sensorData = new { date = String.Format("{0}, {1}, {2}", DateTime.Now.ToLocalTime().TimeOfDay.Hours, DateTime.Now.ToLocalTime().TimeOfDay.Minutes, DateTime.Now.ToLocalTime().TimeOfDay.Seconds), temp = Math.Round(temperature, 2), humid = Math.Round(humidity, 2) }; var messageString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(sensorData); var message = new Message(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(messageString)); await deviceClient.SendEventAsync(message); //Debug.WriteLine("{0} > Sending message: {1}", DateTime.Now, messageString); Task.Delay(5000).Wait(); } }
The date property in the sensorData type is being set in this specific way because we want to see the graph continuously moving. I can also read Pressure from the sensor but as I am not interested in showing this data, I am skipping it out. If you want you can use it but you also have to change the web app to show this reading. Before I can send this data to the IoT Hub, I am serializing the sensorData object and use ASCII encoding to get the byte[] and pass it to the Message class constructor. The last step is to send the message to the hub by using the DeviceClient class SendEventAsync method. In the last line I am adding a delay of 5 seconds between each reading. You can increase the time and see how the chart renders. I recommend not to go below this time delay as this might give you some false readings from the sensor.
I took this code from the documentation here and tweaked it to have the real data from the sensor connected to the device. Press Ctrl+Shift+B to build the solution. Navigate to Project and then click <project> Properties. Under Debug section, set the Start Options as shown below. Notice that the Platform is set to ARM and Configuration is Active (Debug). When you are done with debugging the code and ready to deploy the code to the device you need to change it to Release.
Unlike Raspbian, where we ssh or RDP into the device and compile or build the code, Windows 10 IoT works in a different way. You need to remote deploy the application from Visual Studio. Also, if you have enabled the remote debugging on the device, you also have to add the port number to the Remote Machine value and set the Authentication Mode to None.
NOTE: When you make changes to device application, you also need to change/increment the version of the application in the Package.appxmanifest file. If you miss this step then the application deployment will fail.
To deploy the app to the device, click the Build menu and select Deploy <Project Name>. If you are deploying the application for the first time, it will take some time to get deployed. After the deployment is successful, you will see the application under the App section. At this moment, the application is stopped. To start the application in the, click the Play button in the list to start the application. The App Type show the type of application or you can say the mode it is running on. When I created the application, I selected the UWP application and therefore, it will always run in the Foreground type. The reason I choose this application type (UWP) is because I can then use the SDK to communicate with the IoT Hub. If you want to create a Background application type then you can download this Visual Studio Extension for 2017 and this for Visual Studio 2015 which will let you build the background application. Keep in mind that you cannot use any SDK library with this project type. All you have now is the power of REST API which is not very easy to use.
Setting the Web App
You can build any kind of app to visualize the data, but because the SDK support for .NET is good I am going to set up a simple MVC application using .NET Framework. As of now, you cannot use Azure SDK with .NET Core application and also it looks like the team does not have any plans to shift their focus for releasing the SDK for .NET Core anytime soon.
Start with installing NuGet packages. First with the package that will let you read the data from the Queue.
Install-Package WindowsAzure.ServiceBus
Because this is a real-time application you also need to install SignalR
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR
After these packages are installed, You need a way to visualize the temperature and humidity received from the queue. To do this you can use any jquery chart plugin or any other library of your choice. I will be using Google Charts in my app, Line Charts to be precise. Installation is straight forward for the charts and you can play around with different options to tweak the look and feel of the chart. I am going to add the chart code in the Index.cshtml file. Below is the complete code for the chart to render.

I make use of the sample code from the examples at Google Charts and used it along with some minor tweaks to suite my needs. loadChart() function is called for the first time when the page is loaded and then I have a SignalR hub which updates the chart with the same option sets that I have in the loadChart() function. I add 3 data columns to display the data in the chart. There are few things that I would like to talk about in the above code. First is the timeofday is displayed on a X-Axis because time is continuous and I want to update the chart with time. Second, the gridlines property of the vAxis let you set how many horizontal rows you want to see in the graph. I have increased it to quite a significant number because I want to see the graph in more detail. You can play around with these settings and see what looks better for you. Third, the response I receive in the hub is in string format and therefore, I have parsed that string to JSON in order to read it and set to the rows. Also note that I have leave the console.log in the above code so that when you run the web app you can see the raw data in the console.
In the HomeController.cs, first I will set the connection string to the queue which I have associated with the IoT Hub endpoint in Azure and set the queue name along with the IHubContext for SignalR communication.
private string connectionString = "Endpoint=sb://iothubqueue-ns.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=RootManageSharedAccessKey;SharedAccessKey=88kJcD1mvJnO1jtiiY+AcUtIoinW//V/lF2WicOJ50s="; private string queueName = "iothubqueue"; private IHubContext _hubContext;
In the constructor, initialize the IHubContext object.
_hubContext = GlobalHost.ConnectionManager.GetHubContext<IoTHub>();
Here is the code for the IoTHub class:
using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR; namespace IoTHubTempWebApp.Hubs { public class IoTHub : Hub { public void IoTHubNotification(string value) { Clients.All.iotHubNotification(value); } } }
And the code for Startup class (Startup.cs)
using Microsoft.Owin; using Owin; [assembly: OwinStartup(typeof(IoTHubTempWebApp.Startup))] namespace IoTHubTempWebApp { public class Startup { public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app) { app.MapSignalR(); } } }
In the Index ActionResult, I will start a task which will read the messages from the queue and then SignalR will broadcast it to the client side which in turn update the chart with the latest data or temperature/humidity readings.
public ActionResult Index() { Task task = Task.Run(() => { QueueClient client = QueueClient.CreateFromConnectionString(connectionString, queueName, ReceiveMode.ReceiveAndDelete); client.OnMessage(message => { Stream stream = message.GetBody<Stream>(); StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream, Encoding.ASCII); string s = reader.ReadToEnd(); _hubContext.Clients.All.ioTHubNotification(s); }); }); task.Wait(); return View(); }
First I create a QueueClient object with the connection string and queue name along with the ReceiveMode. I have set ReceiveMode to ReceiveAndDelete as I want to delete the data from the queue once it has been read. Though you have an option to have the data in the queue for the maximum of 7 days in Azure. The QueueClient has an OnMessage event which process a message in an event-driven message pump, which means that as soon as the something is being added to the queue, this event is fired. I get the message body in the form of Stream, read the message to the end and pass the message to SignalR hub which in turn updates my chart in real-time. Here is the final output I have now.
If you look closely, you will notice that the temperature line is not as smooth as you thought it would be. This is because every time when Raspberry PI read the data from the sensor there is a slight change in the temperature only with a few decimal places. If you don't like this then you can change the gridlines property of the vAxis in the chart. Also you can try changing the time delay on the device to see if that impacts the lines on the chart. try changing both time delay in the device application and the gridlines in the web application to see how the chart renders.
Upload Files In .NET Core By Drag And Drop Using Dropzone.JS17. October 2016 21:41
.NET Core ASP.NET MVC Jquery Web
Mostly all web applications out there has some way or the other amazing ways to upload a single or multiple files. While surfing on Github I found this amazing library to upload the files to the server in a unique way with lot of configurations. It support parallel uploads along with cancellation of the files which are in the upload queue along with a good looking progress bar to show the progress of upload.
I get the drag and drop to work in just like 5 minutes. It is super easy and that with some powerful configurations. To install Dropzone you can use the Nuget command.
PM> Install-Package dropzone

 <form action="/Home/Upload" class="dropzone needsclick dz-clickable" id="uploader">
 Drop files here or click to upload.

 </form>

The output of the above HTML looks like this.
There are few points to be noted here in the above HTML. Notice the action and class attributes for the form element. You will also be needing the id attribute as well. Here the action attribute points to the ActionResult which is responsible to handle the file upload. I have pointed it to the Upload ActionResult in my controller class which accepts a parameter of type IFormFile. In case of a MVC application, we would have used HttpPostedFileBase class. Here is the complete code which handles the file upload.
[HttpPost] public async Task<IActionResult> Upload(IFormFile file) { var uploads = Path.Combine(_environment.WebRootPath, "uploads"); if (file.Length > 0) { using (var fileStream = new FileStream(Path.Combine(uploads, file.FileName), FileMode.Create)) { await file.CopyToAsync(fileStream); } } return RedirectToAction("Index"); }
The _environment variable you see in the above code is the instance of IHostingEnvironment interface which I have injected in the controller. Always use IHostingEnvironment interface to resolve the paths. You can hard code the file path but it may not work on other platforms. The combine method returns the correct path based on the platform the code is executing. The WebRootPath property returns the path of wwwroot folder and the second parameter uploads is then appended correctly with the path.
Now it is time to make some adjustment in the Dropzone configuration. Recall the id attribute of the form element. I named it uploader. The Dropzone library has a unique way to set the configuration. Like this.

Get The Correct File Paths In .NET Core3. October 2016 22:12
.NET Core ASP.NET MVC Ubuntu Web
I run a custom blog engine I wrote myself on MVC 4 and as you would have thought it is on Windows hosting. I am re-writing my blog engine in .NET Core so that I can get it running on a Linux hosting as well. I am using Windows machine and Visual Studio Community Edition to write it and using a Ubuntu VM box to test it. My current blog uses SQL Server as a back-end but Linux does not support SQL Server and therefore I have to move to MySQL or any other No-SQL database available for Linux distros. For now I will be saving everything on the disk in JSON format.
The problem comes when I switch from database to file system. Both Windows and Linux file systems are different, so when working I hard-coded the data folder which holds all the posts for my blog. I publish the solution and deploy it to Ubuntu VM. I started the server and it ended up showing me this error in the console.
Notice the path of the data folder in the above screenshot. The path I am referring in the code ends up with backward slash which is not a UNIX format. Also a thing to note here is that UNIX follows a strict naming convention unlike Windows. For example, in Windows Data and data are same, but in UNIX they are not. Because I have hard-coded the path in my application while developing, it will end up in an error on UNIX machine.
To make the paths consistent in your application, I have to make use of the System.IO namespace Path class's Combine method. Combine method is an overloaded method. If you are hearing this method for the first time then make sure you read the documentation. This method renders the correct path based on the platform my code is executing. So instead of doing something like this.
var _posts = Directory.EnumerateFiles("Data\\Posts");
string posts = Path.Combine("Data", "Posts"); _files = Directory.EnumerateFiles(posts);In short, if you are developing a .NET Core application targeting Windows along with UNIX and OSX, then make sure that you follow this approach to get the correct paths or else you will end up with an exception and your website inaccessible.

This weekend I spent LOTS of creative time in my art studio. Actually Mike spent quite a lot of time in there too moving things around… putting up a new shelf and painting a table for me.
During all my creative time I got lots of photos printed off and made lots of the 2x4 pieces of creativity for my album. I also got the printer/scanner set up and it scans a full page of my album absolutely perfectly… so today I thought I'd share with you my album so far.
First up is the title page which you might have seen in an earlier post:
Apart from the two pieces in the centre of the title page, I'm using just one embossing folder throughout my album. I really love the pattern and even though it's got a few snowflakes in it I'm loving the swirly pattern enough to ignore them.
It's from Couture Creations and it's called Snow Storm. The embossing folder measures 5x7 so I can get several pieces cut from one piece of embossed cardstock too… that's always a bonus!
Dec 1: I hadn't quite got myself into 'photo taking' mode yet so I only had two photos for the 1st of December. In the end I did lots of die cutting and embossing to complete this page… plus I used a couple of pieces from the ephemera pack by Heidi Swapp.
Dec 2: I did a little die cutting with glitter cardstock for my deer and added a Tim Holtz trinket around it's neck. For the other 2x4 piece I made a replica of the girl on my Christmas cards… which reminds me that I still haven't actually posted any cards yet
Dec 3: More die cutting again… the 'tree' die was a freebie from a magazine… had it for a while now and never used it. The little poinsettia flowers are from another die set but they were super cute on the tree. The deer in the other 2x4 piece was cut using my Cameo and then I added a poinsettia flower and leaves… super easy but very effective with the simple colour scheme.
Dec 4: I had fun with this page! A couple of months ago I bought a Fuse tool and it was still sitting in it's packaging so I got it out… heated it up and made myself a 'shaker pocket' using another deer cut with my Cameo and some little star confetti. I love how it turned out!
In the other 2x4 piece I used some black cardstock and them heat embossed a couple of my Christmas stamps. It's ages since I've done heat embossing but it's still just as magical watching the embossing powder melt as it always was!
Dec 5: The date pocket is the back of the shaker card from the 4th. I put the date stars back to back and since the deer was cut from black cardstock it looks good from both sides.
The other pocket was made using a die cut word from the Tim Holtz Christmas word set and the Santa is from Heidi Swapp's pack.
Dec 6: I had so much fun with the 2x4 pockets on this page. The poinsettia flowers were made using a stamp and die set. I stamped and heat embossed the flowers using silver and then die cut them… so happy with how they turned out. I've had the dies for a few years now and used them once or twice:
Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia:
Last year I bought the stamp set that matches it… but never actually got around to using it so it's another 'new' thing for me to use!
Heartfelt Creations "Petite Poinsettia PreCut Set (HCPC 3415)
The other 2x4 pocket was created using a 'new' die… it's called Quilt Square Cover Up and it's one of the nicest dies I've used.
I used some of the papers from the Kaiser Silver Bells paper pad so that it matched in with the photo of the card I made. Now I'll have to make a card using the whole die instead of just half of it!
I've got lots more 'Dougal stories' to share so I'll be back later with the next instalment! Thanks for visiting and if you have any tips on how to get my Windows Live Writer connected up to my blog again I'd really appreciate it!

The very first person I actually considered as my role model...
(Taken from my plurk; just reposting this)
The very first person I actually considered as my role model is my dad.
As in, yeah I actually lionized the guy because he's strong, he's hardworking and very generous.... And I admit, I was too abusive of his kindness. But regardless, lalo na't after he had that heart attack noong 2nd year HS, I came to realize how much of a blessing to my life he is.
Despite his condition and all that has happened to him, he tries his hardest to keep out family afloat. Maybe I'm just too careless and ungrateful and ignorant of his kindness.
I guess now is a good time to say thanks and sorry, dad. You've been a great person and I took you for granted. But I guess for now you're happy with who I am right now.
I still consider you as my Idol dad. I love you Dad. Happy Father's Day.

Police training school to be built in Lahore
LAHORE: A plan is afoot to build state-of-the-art police training school in Township to enhance skills of the police force.
Lahore police has purchased a land at a cost of Rs230 million for this purpose.
The school will be spread over two kanals of land. Approximately, Rs392 million have been specified for the construction of the school building. Lahore police spokesperson, Hammad Raza, said, "It will be a unique school as it will focus on specialisation and provide training to on-job police officers/officials who would be engaged with international experts."
The institute would offer courses in specialisation in different policing tasks such as operations, crime registration office, anti-vehicle lifting, organized crime, patrolling, police station management and investigations.
The institute would have a special school called the Investigations School of Excellence. The new facility would lay special focus on obstacles in investigations as the police in Punjab face serious issues in probes of different cases.

How to create a Tree Mural
An image to paint
Data Projector or other means to 'get the image on the wall'
A pencil, I used a 2B, but with my time over would use a lighter one
An eraser
About 300ML of wall paint - I used a 500 ml tester tub Dulux Smooth Beech
A 5mm and 25mm paint brush
Masking tape
Drop sheets
A breathing mask for fumes if pregnant
Using a data-projector I traced the tree on the wall, there is something divinely devious drawing on a clean wall, it is one of life's untold pleasures to deliberately take a writing instrument to your walls, I highly recommend it.
It was difficult to get it to the right size, the room isn't wide enough for a large enough image straight on. But through some creative tracing and painful arranging of the projector eventually covered it all. I used a 2B pencil to trace it all, I worked left to right, starting at eye level. I soon found I was smudging it with my wrist though, so my time over I would use a lighter pencil than 2B and start at the top left, and try to work down and to the right.
I left it at this point and came back to it another day - your arms are very tired by this point!. I also embarked on a mammoth paint selecting mission. My wonderful Husband was barracking for a strong wood colour while I originally envisaged a neutral tone. After debate of this for some time and collecting every brown paint chip Bunnings had to offer we agreed on smooth beech, a soft tone as I desired and brown for him. I'm quite happy with it now.
Then on my 3rd trip to Bunnings, I left with not just paint chips - but paint! And brushes! I set the room up with old picnic blankets masquerading as drop sheets, masking tape on the skirting boards, a fan and all the windows open.
Then the painting began! Using the smaller brush I started at the top to avoid the smudging issue, I tried to keep my strokes long and even. I generally brushed in from the tips, but found brushing slowly outwards gave a lovely end to the branch. Generally the paint covered the pencil marks, but when it is properly dry I will attempt to wash/erase some marks left from where I went off the plan.
Finally I used the thicker brush to cover the trunk and thicker branches. I used the thin brush again to neaten the edges of the trunk and 'voila - A tree is born!'
I think I will thicken the trunk at the top, I still think the original is better, but I am quite pleased with it, plus it was fun to do!

(former) Yale Club of New York City Building (now Penn Club of New York)
Midtown Manhattan
The former Yale Club of New York City Building is located along "clubhouse row," West 44th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, its neighbors including the Harvard Club, New York Yacht Club, Association of the Bar of the City of New York, and former City Club. This Beaux-Arts style building, constructed in 1900-01 by builder Marc Eidlitz & Son, was designed by [Evarts] Tracy & [Egerton] Swartwout, both Yale University graduates, Yale Club members, and former employees of McKim, Mead & White.
It was one of the first high-rise clubhouse buildings in the city, with over half the floors devoted to bachelor apartments, during the era when bachelor apartment hotels were a necessity in the vicinity. The original 11-story, 50-foot-wide front facade features a double-story rusticated limestone base and red brick cladding laid in Flemish bond (with glazed headers) above, balconies, a profusion of terra-cotta ornament (manufactured by the New York Architectural Terra Cotta Co.), and an oversized arch surmounted by a cartouche above the widely-projecting bracketed copper cornice. Its tripartite composition reflected the original internal organization: club rooms on the lower stories, bachelor apartments in the middle section, and upper club dining rooms and service area.
Organized in 1897, the Yale Club of New York City remained here until 1915, when it moved to a larger facility two blocks east. This structure was next owned (1916-25) by Delta Kappa Epsilon, a fraternity founded at Yale, and used as a club and headquarters. The Army & Navy Club of America was located here from 1925 until its bankruptcy in 1933. The building remained vacant until it was acquired by the U. S. Government in 1943; it served as the Maritime Service Center during World War II, and after 1948 as headquarters of the U.S. Army Organized Reserve Corps. It was donated as "surplus property" to Touro College in 1971. Acquired by the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania in 1989, this has been the home since 1994 of the Penn Club of New York, which added three upper stories by [David P.] Helpern Architects.
The 50-foot-wide, Beaux-Arts style Yale Club of New York City Building (1900-01) was originally 11 stories; three upper stories were added in 1992-94 by [David P.] Helpern Architects.
Base: The two-story, three-bay base of the building is clad in rusticated limestone above a granite watertable. The central entrance has a bossed surround surmounted by a bracketed decorative molded entablature (which was originally surmounted by a cartouche bearing the Yale University shield flanked by foliation and anthemia, removed c. 1939-47). Originally there was an areaway with metal railings (removed 1916). The entrance is approached by granite steps flanked by granite cheekwalls and a granite threshold in the outer vestibule (the cheekwalls and steps were reduced in depth 1916); curved metal railings, decorative metal lampposts and a sidewalk awning were installed (1992-94). The original double metal entrance doors were later replaced by double metal-and-glass doors with decorative metalwork and a transom. The outer vestibule has side metal grilles; a decorative metal screen was placed at the top of the opening (1992-94). Originally there was a basement doorway in the eastern bay (altered pre-1979) and a basement window in the western bay, with windows above each (with one-over-one wood sash); on both bays the basement and first-story openings were joined (1992-94) and have metal doors surmounted by pediments (with light fixtures) and metal screens. These doorway openings have voussoirs surmounted by panels decorated with plain disks flanked by foliation. The central second-story bay is a multi-pane window group with its original metal framing having a bracketed central pediment decorated with anthemia and a band decorated with bosses, and pivot sash. This window group is flanked by Ionic combination pilaster-half columns supporting a plaque (that originally bore a Yale Club inscription, now covered). Flagpoles were installed on either side of the central bay (1992-94). The outer second-story windows (with original double pivot sash) have voussoirs surmounted by plaques (originally bearing the dates MDCCCXCVII and MDCCCCI, now covered) flanked by swags, which are surmounted by bands decorated with bosses. The base is terminated by a molded and denticulated cornice.
Midsection: The four-bay midsection is clad in red brick laid in Flemish bond (with glazed headers) with terra-cotta ornamental details. One-over-one sash were originally wood (now metal). The third-story central bays are flanked by decorative panels surmounted by a pierced balcony supported by large foliated brackets; the outer bays have paneled pilasters that support corbeled pediments decorated with anthemia, and are flanked by disks (originally bearing Yale-related letters and ornament, now plain) and ornamental bands.
