The Internet of Things
Smart Devices
Withings scale, Nest thermostat, …
Previously at Frog Designs.
You do not want separate apps for each smart device.
How about URL's instead?
The growth of smart devices will be exponential, and getting more apps is not going to scale with that growth.
Furthermore, apps are being drown in the number of App releases.
40% of apps on the Apple store have NEVER been downloaded!
The goal is to get the controls of smart devices to scale like the web scaled.
The smart device sends a bluetooth code to bring up its web page. It is a discovery service for the devices in your immediate environment.
It has to be decentralized.
Discover - Rank - Interact
It is not a Google product — it is a web product.
Bluetooth LE sends out an advertising packet, once each second.
The packet is a URL, e.g. "http://coke.com/v/23432" from a coke machine.
A phone comes by and checks what is nearby, e.g. the coke machine.
These physical devices create the physical web.
Bus stops, vending machines, restaurants, groceries, home controls, etc.
But it only shows you things when you ask to be shown.
Users can opt-in to letting the system gather anon. data.
Your past behavior will be used to rank the most interesting things for you.
It is like QR codes, only broadcast over Bluetooth LE.
The web site, e.g. http://coke.com, can send instructions to a vending machine, that you have paid with ApplePay, and you want a Diet Coke.
simple web: smart device sends you a link to the web
triangular web: the web server tells the smart device what you want.
direct connect: your phone talks to the web server, and also to the smart device.
The project is on Github, with more than 3400 developers watching, participating.
physical web is available on the Apple iOS store.
1. Odd email problem with Apple Mail on my computer, Mavericks.
Outbox items are not being sent.
This might be a known problem with Gmail, where the SMTP server keeps dropping off the list.
Maybe check the Taking Control of Apple Mail book.
Some big providers, e.g. Comcast, are not letting mail work except on their network.
2. My old printer is not working under Yosemite. It is a Canon.
Apple Support may be able to help — call the support number.
Try generic printer driver.
Keep checking the Canon site for new driver downloads.
3. When I use Siri to initiate a phone call over a bluetooth headset, it drops the headset just as the call starts.
Check your preferences, and make sure you preference is to use the headset for phone calls.
4. QEMU - running Windows programs on Mac. http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page
Anyone using.
5. Best practices for Time Machine backup:
external drive direct connect is the best, using Thunderbolt.
WiFi network drives allow multiple machine backups.
6. Under Yosemite, can I have an app start up automatically?
Yes -- under Users account, set up in login items.
and also by using contextual menu on a Dock icon.
7. How do I uninstall MacKeeper?
Go to www.thesafemac.com for instructions.
Also try "App Delete" or "App Zapper".
Do not trust the MacKeeper provided uninstaller.

T he Glenners sat around the Shabbos table trying to conduct the meal. The men sang a few zemiros and spoke about the parshah, painfully aware of the two police officers sitting near the phone in the entrance hall.
The butler served dessert on a silver tray, but it sat untouched in the center of the table.
Toby finished bentshing and stood. "I'm going upstairs," she said.
Lazer and Moe pushed back their chairs and walked her to the curved staircase. They wished each other Gut Shabbos, and the men returned to the dining room.
"How is Toby feeling?" Moe asked.
Lazer exhaled loudly. "The baby is due very soon, b'ezras Hashem. This stress isn't good for her."
Moe ran his hand through his white beard. "Why hasn't anyone called yet? What could the kidnapper possibly want, other than money?"
Lazer held his palms upward. "I don't know. Who would want to hurt an innocent child?"
"Is there anyone holding a grudge against you? You're a wealthy man with many employees."
"The police asked me the same thing. I can't think of anyone. Baruch Hashem, Toby and I are on good terms with all our workers."
"Then it has to be for money."
"I'm sure it's for money. Officer Maxwell thinks the kidnapper will wait a day or so until we're completely beside ourselves with worry, then call and demand payment. They're going to be stationed here around the clock until the call comes."
Moe reached for some cake and placed it on his plate. He couldn't help but notice it was the same kind of cake he had baked for Jacob. He often baked for his family before he returned to the Matthews home. Although his niece employed her own cooks, his chocolate cake was still her favorite. Just as it was when she was a child.
"I'll bring this to the two officers. It looks like it will be a long night."
The startling sound of glass shattering followed by a scream brought both men to their feet.
"What was that?!" Moe asked dropping the plate.
Lazer was already running to the front of the house, and nearly collided with the officers.
"Upstairs!" Officer Maxwell said.
They took the steps two at a time and reached the landing at the same time Toby did.
She trembled uncontrollably. "The window! In the bedroom!"
The men dashed to the room that faced the street, and saw broken shards of glass on the polished wooden floor and rug. The window was shattered and the rain streamed in.
Officer Maxwell knelt down over the debris. "Look at this." He lifted a large rock from amid the broken glass. A note was secured around it with twine.
The other officer tore out of the room and down the steps. He pulled open the front door and rushed out into the rain in hope of finding a clue, but the street was empty. He returned to the house to share the news.
"The kidnapper made contact with us," Officer Maxwell said. He opened the paper. Lazer and Moe stepped closer, glass crunching under their feet.
"If you want your daughter back alive and well," he read, "have $20,000 cash, in $100 bills only, ready. Further instructions will be forthcoming." The policeman looked at Lazer. "That's a hefty sum," Officer Maxwell said.
Lazer reached for the note. "It's a small price to pay for my daughter's life." (Excerpted from Jr., Issue 655)

September Set List
So, the ukulele songs upon which I am working this month:
Here Comes the Sun
Dock of the Bay
Stand By Me
In My Life
Hey, Jude
Brown-eyed Girl
Let It Be
Louisiana, 1927
Hotel California
Down by the Water
Sultans of Swing
The goal here is to be able to play these from memory, chords and vocals, and to try and learn some kind of lead picking for instrumental breaks. (Except for "Here Comes the Sun," which is an instrumental sans vocals. And the solo on "Sultans" is going reeeally s-l-o-w.)

Violence comes to church's doorstep in Congo
Pastor threatened but spared from death
Sunday morning, Dec. 4, soldiers grabbed a Mennonite pastor as he stepped from his house at the headquarters of the Mennonite Church of Congo in Tshikapa, Democratic Republic of Congo.
The pastor, whose name is withheld for security reasons, is a member of Congo Leadership Coaching Network, a training program and mentoring network for Mennonite pastors.
The pastor was told to say goodbye to his wife and children, then marched to a sand mound, presumably to be shot. But no shot was fired, and the pastor was freed later that day.
Charles Buller, Africa Inter-Mennonite Mission's international staff person, works closely with this pastor and received a phone call that day in which the pastor described his ordeal and release.
Buller said it seemed the soldiers mistook the pastor for someone else. When they realized he was a man of God, they let him go.
"However, they made it clear that if he so much as set a toe outside his house again, he would be shot on sight," Buller said.
Although Congo is experiencing conflict resulting from the postponement of national elections, the fighting in Tshikapa seems to be due to two local chiefs vying for power. One chief has the backing of national security forces. The other has formed a militia of mostly child soldiers. Sources vary on how many died in fighting in Tshikapa that weekend, ranging from 20-30 people.
According to Congo's constitution, Dec. 19 is the date that President Joseph Kabila is scheduled to cede power, as he has served the maximum two terms in office. However, elections have not yet been held, due to what Kabila's government says are logistical problems. The Kabila regime proposes to hold elections in April 2018.
Some opposition leaders are demanding that Kabila step down, though a successor is not yet in place, and are threatening widespread unrest if a government transition does not occur.
Buller said relative calm returned to Tshikapa by Dec. 7. He also reported the National Episcopal Conference of Congo was making a last-minute effort to bring the presiding national government and opposition parties into face-to-face talks to avert a possible bloodbath on Dec. 19.
"What is hopeful here is that the church is stepping into the gap to call for an alternative to violence," Buller said. "Our Congolese sisters and brothers are praying diligently for a miracle and divine intervention. Let's join them."

Bak Tau Yu (Braised Pork in Soy Sauce)
8 comments:
This is my favorite dish. I would love to add some hard boiled eggs to the dish.ReplyDelete
This is almost exactly like how my mum cooks it, with lots of garlic and sweet soy sauce too! Minus the potatoes though that's such a lovely idea, letting it cook and absorb all the delicious sauce, which my mum does with shiitake mushrooms/hard boiled eggs. (btw saturated fat is actually good for you, I firmly believe in it. Read the "how to eat" section of my blog if you have time I think I linked up a few articles!)ReplyDelete
Jos,glad to see you posting something so very yummy. Hope you're all well.ReplyDelete
Best regards
That's a very traditional home cook nyonya dish. My favorite !ReplyDelete
Wah, sedap-nya! With some sliced chili padi with tau yu, I can tambah nasi dua mangkuk! Syiok-nya!ReplyDelete

Docks Regulations 1988 (S.I. 1988/1655)
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1988/1655/contents/made and
Approved Code of Practice with Regulations and Guidance (COP25)
5.1 These Regulations impose duties for the management of workers health, safety and welfare in relation to specific docks-related activities. The Regulations were conceived as a single set of Regulations which addressed port-specific activities and risks at a time when there was limited published guidance and standards for docks and the ship/ shore interface, and accident rates were very high.
5.2 Parts of these Regulations have already been revoked by the Work at Height Regulations 2005 (WAHR); the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998; and the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997. What remains primarily relates to what is now considered good practice in the management of health and safety.
5.3 In particular the remaining parts of the Regulations have been superseded by more general requirements of recent legislation such as the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (MHSWR), and requirements for risk assessment and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 (WHSWR), the Manual Handling Operations Regulations (MHOR) 1992 along with the more specific requirements of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998, LOLER and the WAHR.
5.4 Since the introduction of the Regulations, health and safety standards in ports have also been set out in internationally accepted Conventions and Codes of Practice such as the ILO Code of Practice on Safety & Health in Ports (ILO152). Parallel Merchant Shipping (MS) legislation implements relevant European Directives. While the UK Government has not ratified the ILO Occupational Safety & Health (Dock work) Convention 1979 (ILO152), its principles are reflected in much of the available guidance.
5.5 The Docks Regulations are supported by a Code of Practice and guidance in Safety in Docks (COP25). If the Regulations are revoked, this COP will have no legal basis so HSE, through this document, is also consulting on the withdrawal of its approval for COP25.
5.6 HSE has been working with industry stakeholders for some time to produce a suite of freely available HSE badged industry Safety in Ports (SiP) guidance documents which provide signposts to relevant legislation and up-to-date guidance on good practice and current health and safety standards (http://www.portskillsandsafety.co.uk/publications). It is intended that any guidance currently in the ACoP which is still useful will be incorporated into HSE and industry guidance.
Rationale for revocation
5.7 HSE believes that these prescriptive Regulations have been superseded by the requirements of more recent goal setting legislation and also deal with some activities and work practices which are no longer commonplace.
5.8 Some activities are now also covered by aspects of Merchant Shipping (MS) legislation and guidance. The recent development of industry health and safety guidance has confirmed that the Regulations and the ACoP are outdated. Health and safety standards in ports can now be dealt with more effectively through other existing legislation and the comprehensive HSE, Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) and industry guidance on health and safety standards and practices. Such guidance is more relevant to current work practices, and can be developed as necessary to address new and emerging risks.
5.9 In addition to the published industry SiP guidance, a gap analysis has identified the need for additional guidance on five topics which have now been approved for development for publication in May 2012. These are: Occupational Health in Ports; Non-permanent employees; Safe access and egress; Confined spaces in ports; Emergencies, Adverse events and Contingency planning. Any useful guidance in the current Safety in Docks ACoP and guidance will be incorporated into existing or planned industry guidance, including updating of the HSE Quick Guide to Health & Safety in Ports (INDG446), or development of an additional introductory document to the industry SiP series, to ensure that no useful information and guidance are lost.
5.10 This approach will also allow greater involvement in the development and adoption of international health and safety standards which deal with the wider transport chain and risks which originate outside Great Britain.
5.11 In addition to the industry guidance, there is a significant amount of published guidance and standards available from organisations such as the International Cargo Handling Coordination Association (ICHCA) and the International Labour Organisation (ILO), including the ILO Code of Practice on Safety & Health in ports which is broadly the same as current HSE and industry guidance for ports.
5.12 Table 3 (below) shows how the duties set out in the current Regulations and ACoP are covered by other legislation and guidance. This analysis shows that there are no significant areas of the Docks Regulations that are not covered by other more recent legislation. This has been further supplemented by existing or planned HSE/industry guidance.
5.13 On this basis HSE believes that these Regulations and ACoP are no longer needed and that their withdrawal will not lead to a reduction in health and safety protection. If these proposals are approved HSE will continue to work with the MCA and the industry to complete the development of any additional guidance that has been identified and planned to replace the existing ACoP and guidance.
5.14 These Regulations have been cited 56 times on Notices issued in the previous 13 year period and have been cited 38 times in approved prosecution activity in the same time period. It is anticipated that this level of enforcement could be achieved using the alternative legislation listed in Table 3, without any inappropriate reduction in the level of enforcement, or of protection given to workers and the public..

Group no. 6084 affiliated to IAM Roadsmart ~ Registered Scottish Charity SC023509
The Borders Group of Advanced Motorists started life in 1980 as the "Borders Better Driving Group".
In 1982 the Group was accepted into membership of The Institute of Advanced Motorists, and has been representing the interests what is now known as IAM Roadsmart in the Scottish Borders ever since.
In 2003 a motorcycle section came
into being with the enthusiastic support of existing and new
members. The first motorcycle test pass was achieved in
2004, and a separate Motorcycle
Group was formed in June 2006.
In the years leading up to 2016
the car group was finding it increasingly difficult to find
sufficient members willing to volunteer for Committee roles
and a proposal was made to bike and car group members, and
unanimously accepted, that car and bike groups be merged, with
the proposed structure a common "Exec" committee with
day-to-day operational aspects of car and bike groups each
managed by a smaller sub-committee. Please see "Who we are"
for details.
The aims of the Group are to
help members improve and enjoy their motoring more
contribute to the safety of other road users through our members improved standards!
hold meetings and events promoting safer motoring
encourage all motorists to become "lifelong learners", as the perfect motorist has yet to be born!
The members of the Group represent a very wide cross section of Borders life in terms of background, occupation, age, geographic location, and motoring experience. Their are two main categories of membership:
"Full members" have all passed the Advanced Test, are in continuing membership of the IAM, and wish to support the work of the IAM locally through the Borders Group
"Associate members" are preparing for the Advanced Test.
There is a much smaller category of "Exempt" members for those who already hold recognised driving or motorcycle qualifications: click here for details of how to apply.
Our activities focus on:
a programme of occasional meetings which normally - but not always! - have a motoring-related theme
giving free "Demonstration" drives: you will accompany one of our Observers in his or her car; he or she will show what's involved and give you an explanation of what Advanced Motoring is about.
offering free "Assessment" drives: one of our Observers will accompany you in your car, offer practical advice on your performance, and suggest where improvements could be made.
offering a "Mature Driver's Assessment", one of the IAM's formal "Driving assessments"
publicising the work of the IAM at events
giving free presentations to local organisations, clubs, etc., on advanced motoring and related issues
the running of regular courses for new members preparing for the Advanced Test
As our current focus is on recruiting young drivers, our main meetings relate to the running of the Group, such as Committee meetings and our Annual General Meeting (AGM). Other meetings take place at a venue appropriate to the theme of the chosen topic.
Our one-day introductory courses for new Associate members take place in a variety of small venues in the central Borders several times a year.
To make a reservation on the next available course run by the Borders Group, you must first purchase the IAM "Advanced Driving" package. You can contact the Membership Secretary for further information, or purchase the package online. When purchasing the package online, you should give the Borders as your "preferred IAM group or location", and your place on our next course will be reserved.
You can also purchase a Advanced Driving Course Gift Voucher for a friend or family member.
If you are a young driver (under 26 years), and are normally resident in the Scottish Borders, you can enrol on the Borders DriveWise Young Driver Initiative and have the fee of £149 refunded after passing the test!
For comments and feedback on the pages, please contact the Borders Group Webmaster

Mindfulness of Breath by Jack Kornfield
Having found a posture that is stable and comfortable. Again with your eyes either gently closed, or relaxed and slightly open, but not looking around.
Begin to pay attention to your body.
Allowing it to relax.
And noticing the sensations that are here — as you pay attention.
If you notice any obvious areas of tightness you can soften them.
Let the eyes and ears be soft.
The shoulders drop.
The hands rest easily.
Let the belly be soft and the breath natural.
Let yourself just rest for a moment. being aware of what you notice here.
As you feel your body, as you rest on the earth.
As you sit quietly, you'll notice that there are different thoughts, feelings, and sounds that arise and pass — including these words.
Let the sounds and thoughts arise and pass easily. Like waves in the ocean. And let your mind and heart be soft, and open, and at peace.
Notice the waves as they come and go.
And simply be present with the feelings and the experiences that pass each moment as you sit.
In this space of a kind and relaxed attention:
Now let yourself become aware of the fact of your breathing.
In the midst of the thoughts, sounds, and feelings that come and go.
You can sense your life breath.
You can sense the feeling or the sensation of this rhythm of breath.
It might be coolness in the nose, tingling in the back of the throat.
Or you might feel the breath as a movement of the chest or the rise and fall of the belly.
Let the breath have its natural rhythm. And as you feel it — rest your attention in the breathing.
Sense the breath carefully.
Focusing on the breath is our beginning. It is our way of connecting the mind, heart, and body together in the present.
If it's helpful to you you can take 1 or 2 deeper breaths — and feel what place in the body the breath is most apparent to you.
And even if the breath is quite soft, see if you can let your attention become careful and notice the coolness, the tingling, the movement or vibration, the expansion of the belly.
Notice whatever you can of the breath and rest your attention in it.
As you feel each breath, let there be a sense of relaxation.
Both a presence or alertness, and at the same time an ease — relaxing in the sensation of breath.
After several breathes, you will probably notice that your mind wanders.
After several breaths, often a wave of thought, or feeling, or sound will come and carry you.
As soon as you notice this wave, you can acknowledge it very simply, "theres' been thinking" "imagining" or "sound"…and release it — let it go when you notice it.
Coming back gently and directly to feel the breath again.

Another day, another challenge in Adventures In Stamping. This challenge was to stamp over a holographic base, luckily I bought a bunch of holographic's a couple of weeks ago so I had some choices. It being October, I obviously had to do a Halloween holographic nail art.
For This Nail Art I Used:
China Glaze - OMG A UFO
Kleancolor - Metallic Black
Plates - W116 & BM-305
Tools - Stamper & Scrapper
To Do This Nail Art:
I applied 2 coats of base coat because I don't own an aqua base or any other base coat that's for holographic nail polish. It helped somewhat to smooth the ridges in my nails, but not completely. Once that was dry, I applied 3 coats of China Glaze's OMG A UFO. (Let me just say that OMG it was a pain applying this polish! But it's my first time playing with a holographic polish and I learned a lot more than I knew when I started.) It dried quickly so I moved to the stamping. I used the haunted house image from Bundle Monster's BM-305 plate and stamped my ring and pointer on both hands using Kleancolor's Metallic Black. Next I used the bat image on Winstonia's W116 plate on the rest of my fingers. I double stamped the bats on my thumbs, and once I was all done my ring and pointer fingers looked a little empty so I stamped the bats above the houses. Finally, I top coated it and that was it.
I'm not too happy with the base color by itself, but c'est le vie and other than that I quite like this. Though I love when the color shifts under the stamp and the rainbow shows underneath it. It's like it glows.
You can kinda see the rainbow in this pic. Not only was this one of the first times I've tried a holographic nail polish, it's obviously the first time I've photographed it. It was a pain trying to get a good picture of the holo effect. Normally I try not to get any blurry photos, but to best show a holo the photo has to be blurry.
Well, I do believe that's it for now. Now go forth and do nail art!

My CPR student with two fingers on each hand didn't let that stop her from obtaining her certification. She successfully completed the skill requirements and wouldn't stop until she mastered her skills. Thank you Ashley for reminding all of us that determination will take you to places some think are unreachable. May God allow you to continue to save people in more ways than one...
...A couple weeks later, I was contacted and Ashley had saved an infant from choking. Based on her training she received, she was able to remove the foreign object and the baby began to breath again. Amazing experience and perfect example of how prepared we sometimes need to be.

BC: By Hannah Green | 6th period world history B project
FC: Comparing the Democracies of Modern America and Ancient Egypt
1: To start with, I will just tell you some basic information that can be applied to both democracies. | Section 1- Basic information
2: The word 'democracy' is traced back to the area surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. The word originated from two Greek words: Demos, which means 'the people' and kratein, which means 'to rule' When you put the two words together, you get democracy, which means
3: 'rule by the people.' Go to the next page for information about Ancient Greeks democracy.
4: Section 2- Ancient Greece | The democracy in ancient Greece was developed in the City-state of Athens. The greatest, and the most lasting democratic leader was Pericles. And after his death, Athenian democracy was
5: interrupted two times by the revolution at the end of the Peloponnesian War. Only adult males who had finished military training had the right to vote. The central events in the Atheninan Democracy were the meetings at the Assembly.
6: Section 3- Modern American Democracy | When American colonist became tired of taxation without representation they veered a little from Ancient Greece's form of democracy because they feared it would give the people too much power. Instead they came up with the representative
7: democracy where elected representatives working for three branches (executive, legislative, and judicial) would represent their electors in a balanced way.
8: Similarities | In modern America and Ancient Greece, both elected their leaders. Neither agreed with dictatorship. In both governments all issues were voted on.
9: Ancient Greece allowed direct governing instead of representative. In Ancient Greece women and slaves were not allowed to be a part of government. | Differences

I made this for the kids dinner tonight. It's pretty quick and easy, and not too bad nutritionally, especially as the meatballs are grilled. The recipe should serve 6.
For the Meatballs-
700g lean beef mince
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
2 eggs
1 tbsp tomato puree (ketchup would do)
about 50g mature cheddar cheese, grated (monteray jack, or mexicana would be good alternatives)
1-2 tsp mixed herbs
1 red chilli, finely chopped, if liked
For the Sauce-
700g jar passata
1tbsp olive oil
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1-2 cloves garlic, finely chopped, depending on taste
1-2 tsp mixed herbs- fresh herbs would be delicious if you have a herb garden!
A splash of red wine
1 tbsp tomato puree
salt and black pepper to taste
1. To make the meatballs, throw all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well- you could use a spoon but I find clean hands the best option for this job!
2. Take a dessertspoon sized amount of the mix in your hands, kneading briefly before rolling between your palms to make a ball approx. 2 inches in diameter.
3. Place the meatballs on a hot preheated grill. Cook for approx 8-10 minutes, turning when the top becomes browned. If you need to, reserve the first ones off the grill on a plate whilst the rest cook!
4. To make the sauce, gently saute the onion and garlic in a large heavy based pan with the olive oil for around 5 mins, until softened and translucent.
5. Add all the other ingredients, and simmer gently for around 10 minutes. Because the passata is already thickened, you shouldn't need to cook it for any longer than this.
6. Carefully add the meatballs to the sauce and gently stir in. You can simmer if you like for a few minutes.
7. Serve over spaghetti or other pasta of your choice. You can serve with freshly grated cheese, garlic bread, a nice salad and, most importantly, a big glass of red wine. 🙂
The meatball mixture will also make pretty nice burgers, if you prefer. Enjoy!

On the side opposite the commemorative inscription, a chased and repoussé copper cartouche contains the coat of arms of the City of Rouen, which testifies to the eventful history of France and the strategic significance, during the French Revolution, of the abolition of symbols of the Ancien Régime.
The paschal lamb, symbolising the City of Rouen, was originally surmounted by the royal emblem: the fleur-de-lis. This was covered over by the new revolutionary institutions with more neutral symbols: 3 bonfires, evoking the work of firefighters.

"Dumb & Dumber To" Production To Start in September11 Jul 2013

This year marks Capcom's 30th year in the video game industry, and it's naturally in a contemplative mood. Games like Trojan, Commando, and others in the Capcom Arcade Cabinet released for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, were the titles that gave Capcom its start, but they weren't the ones that established it as a core part of the Nintendo Entertainment System empire in the late-'80s and early-'90s. It was Mega Man and others like the newly resurrected Ducktales that made Capcom's logo an icon. Street Fighter II, Resident Evil and the others that followed cemented that reputation as a major publisher, but it was those early games targeted at kids that made Capcom successful.
In a return to its roots, Capcom announced a new initiative on Tuesday morning to fund a large number of new projects aimed at kids. Right now, Capcom's children's content initiative is focused on the Japanese market, and it's partnered with manga companies like V Jump and Saikyo Jump, as well as anime companies like Pierrot, and toymakers like Bandai to make games based on their respective lines of children's properties. The first game in the works is Gaist Crusher, a Mega Man-style action game made for Nintendo 3DS that will also release a manga, an anime, and a series of toys.
In the past decade, Capcom has drifted further and further from its roots of making games for younger players. Even the cartoon-backed Mega Man: Battle Network series has disappeared. Those players that grew up with Capcom's games know that the company was a ruthless merchandiser even back in the 1980s, so it's no surprise that Capcom is unsentimental about the reasons for its new push. "The important theme of the new project is the creation of new Capcom content for children. Elementary school age boys are the primary target of the project," explains Capcom, "With emphasis on armors, transformations and collections, the project will utilize the cooperation of companies in a broad range of fields such as games, comics (manga), anime, music and toys."
From a business perspective, it shows Capcom is trying to retake territory that most game makers have abandoned. While Ubisoft, Nintendo, and Activision push a number of popular kids games on handhelds and consoles like Just Dance, Super Mario Bros., and Skylanders respectively, many other publishers have abandoned making kids games on those devices in favor of the powerful mobile market. The NPD Group's documented extensively the decline in family/children's game spending on handhelds and console.
It will be interesting to see if Capcom can recapture the hearts of kids in Japan, and whether they'll try to replicate that success around the world.

Every time I hear Jimmy Buffett's Songs You Know By Heart, I wonder why I don't play it far more often. As much as I dislike the idea of greatest hits albums, I can't help but feel that this particular collection is one of the best records I own.
I've heard other Jimmy Buffett songs over the years, either online or on the Sirius/XM Margaritaville station, but nothing that's flipped my lid the way these 13 songs do.

HP Printer with Wireless, AirPrint and HP ePrint Technologies
Color Printers: ~$250.00 – $450.00
BW Printers: ***Delete***
Platforms: Apple, Android, Widows Devices (not for all functionality)
Retailers: OfficeMax, BestBuy, Amazon, etc.
There are many questions on how to print from your smart phone or tablet. There are multiple ways to accomplish this but HP makes it easy with their full featured printers.
Dad will love printing pictures, reports or any document on the HP Wireless Printers with AirPrint and HP ePrint capabilities.
When buying an HP Printer look for the symbols that say: Wireless, AirPrint and HP ePrint. Each of these features offers the following unique capabilities:
Wireless: No more cables! This feature allows your printer to be set up on a wireless network that you can print to from your desktop and laptop computers (on the same network) without being connected by a cable.
AirPrint: This is Apple's technology for printing wirelessly from the iPhone or iPad while on the same wireless network. Airprint enables you to print directly from you iPhone or iPad from any app that supports printing. For example, if you are in QuickOffice®, Evernote®, Photos® or Better Homes and Garden's Recipe app you can print your document, photo or recipe directly (wirelessly) from your iPhone or iPad.
HP ePrint: This cloud service from Hewlett-Packard enables you to have the printer on your wireless network that you can print to from anywhere in which you have email access. When setting up the printer with HP ePrint capabilities, it is assigned a unique email address at hpeprint.com (ex: firstname.lastname@example.com). You can be across town, across the country, or across the world when you send an email with an attachment to the printer's email address. It will print the email and attachment at your office or home where you have the printer installed! You can print pictures, excel docs, word docs, pdf docs, etc. If your email message is blank and only has the attachment, the printer will only print the attachment.
It is amazing and surprisingly useful.
You can be on any computing device (smart phone, tablet, laptop, etc. with email access) and it is independent of the operating system. Therefore, HP ePrint works with Apple OS, Windows OS and Android.
I use the HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color with all of these capabilities, and love it, but there are other HP options in varying price ranges, too.

Advertiser: Miller Brewing Co.
Agency: Wieden & Kennedy, Portland, Ore.
Ad Review rating: Three and a half stars
Miller Brewing Co., at long last, has found the perfect Miller Lite campaign. Funny, targeted, relevant, dead center on the demographic.
Only one problem.
The perfect Lite campaign--at least, what should be the Lite campaign--is running in support of Miller High Life, a venerable old brand left for dead seven years ago by the same marketing minds that mismanaged Lite into its current sorry state.
Because, studies show, most beer is consumed by a guy named Darryl.
Darryl struggled in high school. He's a forklift operator/management trainee at a Piggly Wiggly in Chattanooga, Tenn. He loves God, country, Mom, Dad, his stepmom and stepdad, Nascar and the "Jerry Springer Show" outtake video.
Darryl drinks 97% of the beer in the continental U.S. and--whether he is 33, and slowing down, or 18, and just getting into his guzzling prime--he has no interest in the postmodern absurdity of the Miller Lite campaign.
He's not stupid, but he's not sophisticated. And just because he's young and media-immersed and wears an earring doesn't mean he's particularly media-savvy. He doesn't get irony. All he gets is thirsty.
Breweries have known about Darryl for years, of course. That's why beer advertising historically played into his perceived sensibilities: unquestioning patriotism, pride in a hard day's work, nice looking babes squeezed into their clothing like an insurance doctor in a latex glove.
But now the trend is to make Darryl laugh. Bud Light is doing a pretty good job of it, showing the efforts of a bunch of henpecked guys to elude their wives on weekends and sock down brewskies while watching sports on TV. Bud has the lizards. As for Lite, well, it has the calorie-conscious psychology-degree-holder market just about locked up.
But now here's High Life with a lifestyle campaign of witty 15-second spots poking gentle, reverent fun at all the values Darryl holds dear. One shows a guy on his roof, doing a major repair job entirely with duct tape.
"The High Life Man knows that if the pharaohs had duct tape, the Sphinx would still have a nose," the deep-voiced, plain-speaking narrator says. "We salute you, duct tape. You help a man get to Miller Time."
Another spot shows a guy snacking on doughnuts while working on his car: "The powdered sugar on this doughnut," it asserts, "puts a semiprotective barrier between your fingerprint and your nutrition."
Then there's the funniest, which shows a guy struggling to back his boat trailer into the driveway, to the chagrin of a neighbor and the profound disappointment of the narrator: "Time was a man knew how to command his own vehicle. Just how far are we willing to fall? Better reacquaint yourself with the High Life, soldier, before someone tries to take away your Miller Time."
Note how the humor pays tribute to the consumer, not to the creative team. It's not a question of speaking down to Darryl.
It's just a question of respecting who he is.

Currently, a popular attack vector is to send out a spoofed email from the IRS with an attached file named "taxletter.doc, (or something similar), and appeals to the recipient to respond immediately in order to prevent delinquent tax liabilities.
In this attack, the malicious attachment's payload is a password stealer. The malware launches Microsoft PowerShell, which works in the background as the recipient views the document. Tens of millions of people have been compromised by this new sophisticated attack, and the messages continue to evolve to avoid detection by unsuspected users.

Ebola has come to the Big Apple.

A second test will be conducted by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to confirm the initial test.
The doctor, Craig Spencer, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital on Thursday and placed in isolation.
The 33-year-old physician, employed at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, had recently returned from treating Ebola patients in Guinea, the Times reports. Spencer developed a fever, nausea, pain and fatigue Wednesday night, a law enforcement official told CNN.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said test results on the doctor would be made public, possibly late on Thursday evening.
Health care workers have spread out across the city to identify anyone Spencer might have come into contact with in recent days. According to a statement released by the New York City Department of Health, Spencer's travel history and the timing of his symptoms have led health officials to dispatch "disease detectives immediately began to actively trace all of the patient's contacts to identify anyone who may be at potential risk."
"It is our understanding very few people were in direct contact with him," de Blasio said at a news conference. "Every protocol has been followed."
Spencer reportedly visited a popular bowling alley in the hipster Mecca of Williamsburg on Wednesday evening.
Is New York ready? According to a statement from the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, Bellevue Hospital has four single-bed rooms in its infectious disease ward to treat "high probability or confirmed Ebola cases":
The hospital is particularly well suited due to its long history of being on the front lines of epidemics and emerging public health threats, and managing an isolation unit for diseases, such as TB, for many years with support from and collaboration with the City Health Department.
Mashable notes that three other hospitals in New York City have also been designated by the state to treat suspected and confirmed Ebola cases: Mt. Sinai, New York Presbyterian in Manhattan and Montefiore in the Bronx.
Don't freak out. A reminder: While the prospect of Ebola in a major U.S. city is alarming, it's extremely difficult to contract it. You have to come in direct contact with either bodily fluids, an object like a syringe that's also contaminated with the disease, or a fruit bat or primate, somehow, in the streets of New York.
"How might Ebola be passed on a subway?" asked Times reporter Don McNeil earlier in October. "If someone ejected bloody mucus or vomitus onto a subway pole, and the next passenger were to touch it while it was still wet and then, for some unimaginable reason, were to put those wet fingers into an eye or mouth instead of wiping them in disgust — then yes, it could happen."
At least 4,877 people have died in the world's worst recorded outbreak of Ebola, and at least 9,936 cases of the disease had been recorded as of Oct. 19, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday.

Imagine you are with the person you love. You are having a wonderful, blissfully peaceful Friday night after a hard week at work. You both just want to melt into each others' arms for two or three hours and watch Netflix, and for a little while you do.
But then your love grunts uncomfortably. They grab their chest and complain of being light-headed. You are both getting to your middle years, and they're carrying a few more pounds than either of you is comfortable with. You never did get around to joining the gym or trying that diet your GP suggested. Your own heart starts racing, but you manage not to panic and call 911. Your love, clutching their chest now, takes out their own phone to text their family to let them know which hospital you will be going to.
You put on your brave face for them, choking back tears on the ambulance ride as you hold their hand. They pat yours to let you know it will all be okay and you try not to cry and laugh at the same time at how ridiculous it is that they are comforting you at a time like this. The EMT mechanically goes about asking all the appropriate questions, taking your love's blood pressure and a dozen other things, pushing you gently out of the way as he does so, and you mostly succeed at not taking it personally.
At the hospital your love has fallen unconscious and you find yourself answering a hundred questions: what did they have to eat, what allergies do they have, does heart disease run in the family and so many others that you do your best to answer. For half an hour you watch as they poke and prod and probe the most important person in your world and they look so helpless and you wish they could hear you when you tell them that it will all be OK.
Then the doctor puts her hand on your arm and tells you your love's family is here. They guide you out of the little cubicle and you greet their father, mother, brothers and sister. They ask if your love is in pain and you cannot answer, and then their father speaks up. He tells you that the family wants you to know they respect your choice, but it has been hard for them, and it has caused divisions and fights and it would just be easier if you waited for word at home.
You cry and you want to fight and you argue a little. The mother asks you not to make a scene as the oldest brother talks to a security guard. You want to stay, you want to tell them they can't make you leave, but the thing is they can. You are not married, you can't be, because he is white and you are black. He dared to fall in love with a black woman and you remember, especially now, being so proud of this man who dared to stand up to his father when he brought you to his family's home for the first time.
Now all you can do is go, rushing out the door angry and scared and hurt before the guard can escort you. You go home and wait for the nowhere near frequent enough calls from his sister, the only member of the family to stand up for the two of you. Two days later you get the call from her: he has passed. They let you come to the funeral, so long as you stand in back. Your whole world is coming down around you and though they love you, some of your own family cannot help but offer thinly veiled "we told you so"s.
Does that sound far-fetched to you? Well it shouldn't. We are less than half a century removed from that being the case in some parts of our country. It is a horribly painful reality that gay couples in most states must now live through. The only option preventing this in some places is terribly expensive lawyers fees to draw up living wills, contracts and proxy arrangements. So when you say you support initiatives like North Carolina's Amendment 1, you are supporting exactly the kind of cruelty described above.
If you oppose marriage equality, you support denying people the right to choose their own family. You cannot do so without exposing yourself as a horribly cruel human being. Does that sound harsh? I hope so because it is meant to be. It is significantly less harsh than being denied the right to see your love in the hospital, or them not getting shared custody of their child, or not being able to put you on their health insurance, or being granted the simple, humane pleasure of being able to take that person's name as your own. So before you cry that I am being mean to you for calling you out for your bigotry, take a few minutes, or better yet, the next 24 hours if you live in North Carolina, and reflect on how much meaner a state with Amendment 1 would be.

What is a prayer labyrinth?
A labyrinth is a guided prayer walk. They were first used in the 12th Century when maze-like paths were marked out on cathedral floors. They are a symbolic journey giving space to relax and think about our relationship with God and others. Unlike a maze you cannot get lost in a labyrinth and just follow the path as laid out with the various stations to stop, read, look, pause and pray.
Easter Reflection in the Labyrinth
Come and take a prayerful walk around the Labyrinth which is now set up with thoughts on the Resurrection stories of Jesus. The stations are:
Be still and prepare
Mary Magdalene meets the Risen Jesus
Meeting in the Upper Room
A Fish Breakfast
Jesus Appears to Two Disciples on Road to Emmaus
You can walk the labyrinth any time the church is open.

Congratulations on being chosen for the District 1 Middle School Honor Choir! I am honored and excited to be conducting this group. Please take the time to download and PRACTICE with the practice tracks provided here. Your enjoyment of any honor choir event is directly related to your preparation. Our goal is to be fully memorized for the performance. The more work you put in before we meet, the more likely we'll accomplish that goal. I can't wait to meet all of you and discover the amazing music we can make together!!
Tenors and Basses - some of the music only has one part for you and it'll be called Baritone. Make sure you know which part you're singing on which songs.
To download all tracks for your voice part at once, save the zipped folder to your device and extract the files to your music folder or iTunes. You'll be able to play them whenever!
Tips on practicing...
- Start by listening to the tracks that have your voice part the loudest (not the "master" tracks).
- The first few times you listen, don't try singing. Just follow along WITH the sheet music in front of you.
- Once you have an idea of how the song goes, use the forward and back buttons on your media player to practice singing small chunks at a time, not the entire song.
- You'll quickly figure out which sections and songs are more challenging. Practice those more than the others!
- Once you're comfortable with your part, start practicing with the master tracks on which all parts are equal.
- See if you have any of it memorized!
To stream individual tracks, click the audio below. If you are on a portable device, be sure you are using WiFi and not cellular service. Some of the songs were recorded with a not-so-good microphone and have some loud bumps in them. My apologies.
On this track, the soprano will play in the left channel and the alto will play in the right channel.
On this track, the soprano will play in the left channel and the alto will play in the right channel.
If you lost the form to show your director that you've been here, you can download and print another copy here...

The Kindle edition of the greatest book ever written is now available
The big advantage of this edition is the price, US$43.53 compared to US$135.20 for the hardback. Still not exactly cheap but it is cheaper, by a reasonable amount, than the hardback.
I have also, unfortunately, had to update the errata section on the webpage for the book.

Glad you have a Kindle/Amazon version. That's how we buy now.
Gonna pick up a copy after Xmas (when our Southern-side-house renovation is finished or at least cost known )
I might've come back in price by then too :)

Whoops. 'It' might have come back in price. I never come back in price.

Great news, Paul. Can we put it on layby?

Mark: the book may well cost you as much as the renovation! An interesting question is how prices change over time. Are they lowered in an attempt to get those buyers with a lower willingness to pay to buy? Is pricing just price discrimination? Time well tell.
Peter: the hardback version could bankrupt several small nations! The Kindle version is at lest a bit cheaper. But no academic books these days seem cheap.

No. No they aren't.

PDF printable version of Royal Flying Doctor Service a big winner in rural health budget initiatives (PDF 251 KB)
23 May 2015
Rural and regional health is set to benefit from initiatives in the 2015-16 budget, Assistant Minister for Health Fiona Nash said today.
A key winner is the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS), which has received a $20 million boost over the next two years.
"Just this week, Queensland Senator Barry O'Sullivan and I visited the RFDS in Cairns to thank them for the wonderful work they do and the lives they save," Minister Nash said.
"There are many Australians who are alive today because of the RFDS. The RFDS is part of the Australian identity.
"Despite these tight financial times, we found extra funding for the RFDS in a tight budget and the organisation is worth every cent."
The budget also set aside $1 million for rural and regional areas through the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS).
The Australian Government makes rebates available to Australians for private medical treatments through the MBS. Additional support is provided to services in regional, rural and remote areas including all of Tasmania.
Under the 2015-16 Budget, new Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) rebates will be made available for optometrists to assist patients during telehealth consultations with ophthalmologists. The measure allocates $1 million through the MBS for patients in regional areas, in residential aged care facilities and to Aboriginal Medical Services for specialist optometrist support services.
"We know regional and rural areas face extra barriers to accessing health services and our aim is to break down those barriers," Minister Nash said.
"These Budget initiatives are designed to better meet the needs of local communities as well as improve coverage of the health workforce."
There has also been $600 million worth of new cancer measures allocated including the listing new life-saving drug treatments for melanoma and breast cancer on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
Women in rural and remote locations will also benefit from a new breast cancer drug for targeted intraoperative radiotherapy for early-stage invasive breast cancer. The one-off treatment reduces the need to travel after surgery for post-operative radiotherapy.
Following an extensive independent review, the General Practice Rural Incentives Programme (GPRIP) will be redesigned to increase the number of doctors practising in areas experiencing the most difficulty attracting a GP workforce.
Financial incentives will target doctors working in regional and rural towns and remote areas and there will also be a consolidation of workforce scholarships to target scholarships to areas of need and encourage health students to take up rural careers.
Minister Nash said access to these critical health services are important for everyone living in rural and regional areas.
"Improved access to quality services will ensure people get to stay close to home or spend less time away from their family and loved ones if they get sick," she said.
"That kind of flow on benefit from these budget initiatives will make a difference to people living in regional and rural communities."

The Charleston Trident Association of Realtors released their February reports, and they are promising. 722 homes sold at a median price of $181,334 in the Charleston region in February, with sales figures very similar to market activity in 2008 before the recession, but with the average price more like 2009 levels. Although the inventory has declined with 1,000 less properties for sale than this time last year, sales are still almost 20% ahead of what they were and show a stable 4% growth. CTAR President Own Tyler, pointed out a positive trend that we are beginning to see nationwide, which is a more balanced market. Pre-recession in the early 2000's the sales activity was "abnormal," compared to what we're seeing today, which are homes that are reasonably priced that are selling much faster than they were during the recession. Here's Charleston County report:
Even more exciting is that in the Charleston County Area, CTAR believes that the Upper Charleston Peninsula is the area to keep an eye on. At the end of last year the inventory had decline 35%, but sales volume was up by 50% and the median price was up 8.2%. February continued this upward rise with sales doubling from 2012 from 11 transactions to 20. Here's the full report:

If rockets can be reused, then a lot of other things should be too! Today is World Remanufacturing Day. Remanufacturing and the circular economy go hand in hand and Panalpina helps its customers make the transition to circular supply chains in multiple industries; remanufacturing mobile phones, repairing telecoms equipment, repacking fashion products and screening and testing optical equipment.
A taste for less waste
News • Dec 04, 2017 13:00 GMT
The purchase of a product often marks the end of a supply chain. But increasingly consumers are questioning the traditional linear process of "take, make, dispose", demanding that manufacturers and retailers ensure that they reduce or eliminate waste. In the circular economy, logistics companies play an important role in extending the life of products through reuse, remanufacturing and recycling.

It turns out that despite being a medical doctor for the past forty years, Ron Paul does not accept the theory of evolution. Ron Paul made this revelation at a rally last November, which can now be found on youtube:
This is a drastic flip flop from last May, when all the republican candidates were asked for their views on the subject. Just so that there was no room for confusion, a blogger by the name of Ron Shank even wrote into the Ron Paul campaign, and received the following response:
Ron Paul did not raise his hand during that question, it was Tancredo, Huckabee & Brownback who raised their hands. Dr. Paul is physician and believes in evolution.Apparently, we can't really trust Ron Paul on the subject of medical science, or frankly, any science at all. We can't trust Ron Paul to place empirical evidence and observation over basic ideology. We also can't trust Ron Paul to support the separation of church and state, and to keep his religion views out of science class. But apparently, we can't even trust Ron Paul to be honest about what Ron Paul actually believes, nor can we trust his campaign when asked point blank about it.
Which only begs the question. What can we trust Ron Paul on?
