Aphrodisias tour
is a trip to one of the exceptional archeological sites of Turkey
This is the City of Aphrodite, Goddess of Love or
Venus as Romans
called her
. The tranquility of the site and the Temple of Aphrodite make a tour to this mystical site more than worthwhile.
The ruins spread over a large area as you walk through to explore it, you come to Roman bath complex and a market place agora both very large in size. There is also a fine museum displaying artefects discovered here by late prof Kenan Erim. The beauty of marble work is mainly due to first
a famous sculpture academy in Roman times and second a high-grade marble, which takes fine polising, quarried only a few kilometers away at Babadag.
Also some ruins from the time of Christianity such as Christian bishop's palace.
The records of first
settlements date back to at least Early Bronze Age, 2800 BC. Over the site there used to be the houses of Geyre village but after the earthquake the village was moved to a couple of kms away. The various fruit trees and cypresses trees are what we find left from the village Geyre.
The site is located close to Pamukkale (Cotton Fortresses). When driving from Kusadasi or Selcuk to Pamukkale take turning to the right at the sign post showing Karacasu. So guided tours to Pamukkale can conveniently incorporate Aphrodisias to their tour itineraries. Be warned that you need good walking shoes to cover a site of this size.

LAUREL, MISS. — Fabiola Pena considered running away from her factory job when she realized she was being targeted in a federal immigration raid. She was deterred when she noticed the helicopters hovering overhead.
But helicopters were not what shocked Pena the most on her last, fateful day at Howard Industries, the largest employer in this small Southern town. It was the black co-workers who clapped and cheered, Pena said, as she and hundreds of other Latino immigrant laborers were arrested and hauled away.
"They said we took their jobs, but I was working from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.," said Pena, 21, a day after the raid last week that resulted in the arrest of nearly 600 suspected illegal immigrants. "I didn't see them working like us."
The raid at Howard Industries, a manufacturer of electrical distribution equipment, was the largest of its kind in many years, and it exposed some of the rawest emotions that fuel the illegal immigration debate.

Dr Nick Broughton, Chief Executive of Southern Health said:
"Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust has been prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive for failings relating to the deaths of Teresa Colvin in 2012 and Connor Sparrowhawk in 2013. The Trust was sentenced today in Oxford Crown Court.
"Southern Health pleaded guilty to the charges and we fully accept the failings.
"Since I joined the Trust in November I have looked closely at what happened to Teresa and Connor and the events that followed. I feel deeply saddened and am truly sorry that we let them down with such devastating consequences. Their deaths were avoidable, entirely preventable and should never have occurred.
"Personally, and on behalf of the trust board, I apologise unreservedly.
"I know that words can do little to ease the enormity of the respective families' losses and pain. But Teresa and Connor's deaths have been genuine catalysts for change, and I sincerely hope our actions to improve care as a direct result provide some comfort, however small.
"These actions mean our services are now safer. Our approaches to supporting patients with epilepsy, and to managing the risks of ligatures, have been overhauled. Health and safety practice has been comprehensively improved from the Board to the ward, and includes a dedicated health and safety team and guardians at all levels across the Trust.
"Crucial to these and other improvements is the contribution from many families and individuals dedicated to bringing about change. Whether working alongside us, or indeed as campaigning activists, their courage, dignity and insight is making a difference and deserves recognition.
"The job of improving safety and quality is never complete and it remains the single highest priority for me and my colleagues."

Corporate governance practices and performances of the mobile and data services companies in Rwanda
Opata, Edgar
MetadataShow full item record
The purpose of this study is to establish and document the corporate governance practises and their relationship to performances' in the mobile and data services companiesin Rwanda. In specific terms the study reviews whether financialdisclosure, executivecompensation, ownershipstructures and legalstructure have any effect or influence on performance of companies. This study employed descriptive survey design. The research was carried out through descriptive survey design because it involves gathering of facts, opinions and views of the employees in the organization about the corporate governance practices.The population of this research consists of all companies registered by the Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Agency. The study used both primary and secondary data. Financial performance (profit before tax) was collected for a period of three years (2010-2012). Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and results presented in frequency tables to show trend ofthe responses for the various questions posed to the respondents. The data was then analyzed in terms of descriptive statistics like means and percentages. Thestudy findings revealed that financial disclosure was a key determinant of company's performance or profitability. This was demonstrated by the mean score of responses of the respondents. However financial disclosure was found not to be statistically significant in influencing profitability.Results also showed that executive compensation influenced profitability as this was revealedby the mean score of the responses and the regression. The study findings further establishedthat ownership structures were a key ingredient of company's performance. Ownership structures were found to be statistically significant.Finally, it was found that legal structure was important to firm's profitability but was not statistically significant. Following the study findings it is possible to conclude that financial disclosure and executive compensation isa key determinant of company's performance or profitability. Executive compensation is therefore important because employees get motivated through remunerations and hence improve their performance in furtherance of the profitability of the company. It can be concluded that the companies had put in place management policies that ensured that the companies had objectives, goals and a mission. The study recommends that the management should practice financial transparency by ensuring that the companies follow international financial reporting standards and guidelines in making the annual reports and ensure that they release quarterly performance reports to the public and their business partners. The study also recommends that the effectiveness of the board is very essential in today's competitive environment for increases firm value. To achieve this, the study recommends that the current board composition be evaluated to rate its effectiveness for enhanced quality value and should be well remunerated. The stud y recommends that the companies should have a legal structure in place to ensure that legal tussles are resolved out of court. This study recommends that there is need for the companies to assess the characteristics of the board for it has a material impact on the quality of corporate governance. This will help in the realization of challenges or other hindrances that may hinder the functionality of the board and by extension the company performance.

What is Lolita?
~ I only consider this page necessary because of the fuss I've seen on other blogs, but not once have I gotten a message regarding this subject. I typed this explanation long ago, back when I was still a newbie. By now, I've run a panel about this subject. If I had my slideshow and an hour to tell it to you, I'd get the point across better haha. ~
Lolita fashion is a street fashion that originated in Japan decades ago. Although there are many takes on the fashion to follow, it is mostly characterized by poofy, bell-shaped skirts. Some examples of Lolita substyles are Sweet, Gothic, Hime, Sailor, Classic, and Casual.
The biggest misconception of the fashion is based on its name. The clothing may share a name with a novel/movie notorious for lusting after a young girl, but that does NOT mean that Lolitas are "sexual deviants" who are "trying to please pedophiles" or "re-enact their childhoods by wearing childish clothes." (To be honest, beyond Sweet Lolita, the style can be quite sophisticated and mature) With the exception of Ero Lolita, there is no underlying sexual theme. In fact, many shirts and dresses have extremely high necklines, and generally skirts should fall to at least the knee or longer. A petticoat and/or bloomers would also be worn under skirts. There really shouldn't be a "sexiness" to the look, in the current sense of the term.
Often Lolita is referenced in anime, or even in real life (like in "sexy" Halloween costumes). These may not be accurate to the style, and often may lead to major misconceptions. If you ever want to learn more about Lolita fashion, do not go google it; unrelated material will pop up. Try searching blogging websites, using search terms beyond the word Lolita, like "street styles" or a specific substyle.

I am devoting a whole post to our trip on the MV Sir Robert Bond because it was our most distinctive ferry trip in Canada so far, not in a good way, and one which I doubt (and hope) will never be surpassed. Cartwright does not have a ferry terminal parking lot, so a couple of hours before our 5pm departure an announcement over a loudspeaker prompted all the vehicles to proceed willy-nilly to the loading bay of the ship, where ferry workers then sort of fitted them in the best they could, sometimes replacing the driver of the vehicle in order to back it in or otherwise squeeze it on (we met some people on the ship who's trailer tent was broken this way, but they said it wasn't the workers' fault, and they had to break it or leave it).
Once we were on the Sir Robert Bond, around 5ish, we noticed a posting of meal service hours that stated dinner was served only between 4pm and 6pm. This was somewhat puzzling as nobody was even on the boat at 4pm, and it looked like some might not be on it at 6 either, the way things were loading. After dumping our stuff in our 2 bunk stateroom (thank you, Step, for having the amazing foresight to get a room) we went as directly to the cafeteria as we could, which was not very, since the Sir Robert Bond has all kinds of narrow corridors, lounges, and staircases. The whole ship reeked of despair and kerosene. We found the cafeteria in the bowels of the boat, with low ceilings and a lot of pipes overhead. We may have been luckier to have not found the dining room at all, it turned out. For SOME REASON not even I can fathom, I selected a wilted brown salad which turned out to be inedible, a side of previously frozen vegetables which were so chewy they may have started as wooden coffee table ornaments, and one of the two entrees offered, fries and chicken wings. Step, to my alarm, ordered the grey, oily beef chow mein. This was served to us on metal trays by a silent, dermatologically challenged youth in white, and we paid a scowly older woman who merely grunted at our pleasantries. As we sat down at our plastic chairs I said to Step "I feel like I'm in jail, but I'm having to pay!". The only thing edible on our plates were the fries, although I did choke down a carrot medallion and a few chicken wings as well. (Subsequently on our travels, when we told people of our trip on the Sir Robert Bond, they inevitably would ask "How was the food?", and we found out any experienced Robert Bond goer packs a lunch. I can only imagine no one warned out because it's some kind of perverse Newfoundland and Labrador insider joke to make you eat it. Why? Why? I did not know NLers could be so cruel).
We hadn't showered for a really, really long time, so when we got our parole from the "Dining" Room, we got some thin little towels from our stateroom and headed for the washroom, where my shower stall had clogged pipes, and the water started sloshing into the main floor fairly shortly. Nonetheless, I was grateful for the desperately needed shower, even though our towels wouldn't dry again after that, so our stateroom smelled of DAMP despair and kerosene for the rest of the trip. This was still preferable to the crowded mini lounges with loud TV's on the SitCom channels, where many travelers spent the night.
Not everything about the Sir Robert Bond experience was bad, though. It was old but everything was really clean. Also, it has wireless internet! Yahoo! And there was a lot of outdoor space you could walk around in, and people were friendly. It was kind of stormy but even so people went outside, (maybe because the ship was smelly and crowded?) and we met the broken trailer people who I wish I could remember their names because we saw them many times in the next few days. They speculated the trip was way behind schedule because the Captain was avoiding the storms, which made sense to us.
There is also a bar on the ship, where we had a packaged snack, a drink, and some computer screen time. The woman at the bar concession was from Newfoundland and really chatty. She told me the black berry I had eaten on Flagstaff Hill might have had a worm in it, and that locals only eat the berry after the first frost because of the worm, but the worm wouldn't hurt me. Ugh. (this wasn't like succulent Pacific Northwest blackberries that grow on brambles, but a small, round berry that grows on bushes near the ground).
After a restless night, we had coffee in the dining car, but no food, and we docked at Happy Valley-Goose Bay. We had been on the Sir Robert Bond for 15 hours, and it felt miraculous to be back in the Boogie Bus. I swore to never complain about BC Ferries again.

Thanks to the kind donation from Washington University's Environmental Health and Safety Department this year, façade groups have been given SawStops that will prevent serious injuries from the saw blade. These devices are engineered to brake if there is a change in the electrical current, which occurs when a hand or body part comes in contact with the blade. The saw stops within 5 milliseconds. This is an amazing addition to the Carnival this year and demonstrates the University's commitment to student safety while encouraging students to participate in this long-standing University tradition. Brad King, Director of Occupational Safety, explains, "Replacing traditional table saws with SawStop table saws will ensure that devastating injuries such as amputations or serious cuts will not occur." The SawStops will have a significant and essential impact on the ThurtenE Carnival for years to come and we are so grateful for this donation!
However, this is not the only safety measure implemented in the construction process of this year's Carnival. Other safety measures have been incorporated to ensure safety during construction and teardown of the facades including safety training, rulebooks, power tool training, power tool inspections, architectural safety reviews, and site safety inspections. Additionally, for the second year, the ThurtenE Carnival has enlisted the advice and consultation of National Safety. A safety consulting firm to the construction industry, National Safety is helping façade groups in their various procedures for wall raising and tear down while also adding another layer of safety for Washington University students and the St. Louis community as they come to enjoy the ThurtenE Carnival.

Welcome to the Future
[At American colleges], the male-female ratio is approaching 40:60. That means that colleges are facing the scary prospect of having only 40 men for every 60 women. The men aren't complaining: even very ordinary guys now have a good chance of dating the attractive gals. But the women aren't happy at all. The Chronicle of Higher Education observes in its July 20 issue that "women are expected to fulfill a guy's sexual desire immediately or risk losing a prospective mate to the next girl in line."
So what are the colleges doing? The Chronicle reports that several colleges, both private and public, are making it easier for boys to get in, even though girls apply with comparable or better grades and standardized test scores. At William and Mary and the University of Richmond, for example, the acceptance rate for boys is around 13 percent higher than that for girls with matching credentials. The most surprising aspect of this gender discrimination is that no one seems to be objecting to it.
At first the feminist groups considered putting pressure on colleges to stop discriminating in favor of men. Then two things got in their way. The first was their own ideology of diversity. The feminists have been calling for gender balance for two decades now, and it's bit difficult to turn around and take the opposite line when the women outnumber the men. The second factor is women themselves, who have made it very clear that they want more men on campus...

Whether you're working alone or working as part of a large team, there will be a plan of action for how to design, code, test, debug, and document the software. A plan like this is usually called a software lifecycle . In this next section we'll discuss a couple of possible lifecyles and then describe an Inventor lifecycle to use for the kind of exploratory, time-constrained project that we'll do in this book.
If you do not consciously choose a particular software lifecycle, you end up in fact using a scenario known as 'code and fix.' It means making no plan at all, but instead simply diving in, writing code, and trying to fix each new problem as it develops. Code and fix is considered one of the most inefficient ways of developing software.
You should always take some time before starting a project to try and figure out what you are going to do. A good rule of thumb is to estimate how much time you should spend planning " and then plan for three times this long. One well-spent hour of planning can save hundreds of hours in coding and fixing further down the line. When you have a really clear vision of what you want to do, writing the code to do it does not in fact take all that long. The hard part is in getting the vision.
There are a number of tried and true software lifecycles which involve a good measure of planning. The most traditional model is called the 'Waterfall' software lifecycle. This model describes a straight-through process: completely plan what you want, specify how the program will behave, nail down the architecture, work out the detailed design, and only then begin coding, finally testing and debugging. The stages of the Waterfall are given in Figure 2.3.
Figure 2.3. The Waterfall lifecycle
In practice, people tend not to use a pure Waterfall approach, because it is difficult if not impossible to completely specify and plan your program in advance of writing any code. It's more common to see a lifecycle that resembles the linear Waterfall approach but which allows for the possibility of 'swimming upstream' and revisiting the earlier stages. It would be quite reasonable, in other words, to draw additional upwards arrows from the specification, architecture, detailed design, coding, and testing and debugging boxes.
Another popular lifecycle is known as the Staged Delivery model. In this lifecycle we organize the requirement phase so as to break the program into several stages of functionality. The plan is that at the end of each stage the program should be fully releasable. But stage one might include only basic functionality, stage two a richer set of features, and perhaps stage three will have lots of bells and whistles, while stage four will be incredibly deluxe. So as to be sure of being able to deliver some kind of product when the time runs out, the Staged Delivery method completely finishes stage one, then stage two, and so on. The sketch for this lifecycle is given in Figure 2.4. Note that here we try and fix the architecture early in the process, but we allow for changing the detailed design at each stage. Note also that we try and figure out all of the features that we want right at the start so that then our architecture will be roomy enough to accommodate all of our planned functionality.
Figure 2.4. The Staged Delivery lifecycle
Names and descriptions for many other software lifecycles can be found, for instance, in Steve McConnell, Rapid Development (Microsoft Press, 1996), from which our description of the Staged Delivery model is taken.
In this book we're going to use a somewhat exploratory software development process where we tend to be occasionally groping in the dark. For this we'll use a model which is a linear process with two repetitive loops in the middle. Just to have a name for it, we call it the Inventor lifecycle, to suggest that it's a reasonable lifecycle to use when you're exploring an area that's new to you and are planning to discover new things about how to use your tools and your framework, possibly developing some entirely new features as well. The name isn't meant to rule out the possibility that you might use the Inventor lifecycle to make a highly polished final product. The Inventor lifecycle goes as shown in Figure 2.5.
Figure 2.5. The Inventor lifecycle
We expect to develop our program though a number of builds. The builds break into the alpha and the beta stage. In the alpha stage we still don't know exactly what features we're going to have, so we allow for the possibility of changing our specification several times. When we see our deadline coming into sight, we switch into beta mode by freezing our feature set and focusing on testing, and debugging.
Now let's discuss each stage of our Inventor lifecycle.
Requirements gathering
As discussed above, in the requirement phase you start with one or more software concepts and try them out on the other stakeholders, who will be your professor and your other team members in a classroom situation. If you're using this book for self-study, you might try and involve at least two other people as stakeholders " if only in the role of interested on-lookers. After several cycles of requirements gathering you arrive at a basic plan for how the program will behave. You get a specification sketch describing the program and including some drawings of how the screens will look. The specification sketch should have the four components (S1) concept, (S2) appearance, (S3) controls, and (S4) behavior.
Before doing any coding, you need to figure out what classes you are going to use. It is likely that your class structures will change somewhat as time goes on, but it is important at the outset to make an honest effort to separate out your classes and, above all, to think about how they will inherit from existing classes. The most common design mistake that beginning programmers make is to block copy an existing class's code for a new class when it would be so much cleaner and easier to have the new class be a child of the existing class. UML class diagrams are a good tool for working out the high-level design.
Once you have a high-level design and a specification that's been honed by requirements gathering, you can put these together into a document sometimes called the 'RAD' for 'requirements and design'. (Presumably by the end of the requirements gathering, the requirement and the specification match.) Of course, in an exploratory classroom or individual project, we can expect the specification to get more detailed and feature-rich as time goes on.
Specification N
Once your requirement and basic architecture has the go-ahead, you need to figure out what members and methods go into your classes. You will also need to work out a more detailed draft of the User 's Guide so that you know exactly what you want your program to do.
The specification N is a list of the features you expect the program to have, and the detailed design includes all the methods you need to implement them. When you get into the low-level design, what you will often be doing is to write out C++ headers for your classes. You can start the process informally, but given that you must eventually write the code, it's not a bad idea to simply do the low-level design by actually writing real headers. New inspirations will come as you try and implement the methods, get them to compile, and make them work in the program.
As time goes by, you will of course think of new features to add to your program " and this is why we talk about specification N and detailed design 'N', where N is a number that starts at 1 and usually ranges between ten and several hundred. In practice you will end up cycling through steps specification and detailed design N and alpha N many times. As you develop your program, more and more new features will suggest themselves , and it would be foolish not to include the good ones simply because they aren't on some list you made up before you really knew what you were doing. Conversely, you may also find that some features you'd planned to include will be too difficult or time-consuming ; reduce your risk by throwing them out.
It seems odd to admit that it's not possible to fully control the development process, but this is a reality of contemporary software development. There seems to be no way around it. A completed program is such a large and complex object that it's impossible to fully predict the form of the finished object when you start. It seems likely that software engineering is intrinsically chaotic in the formal sense of not being entirely predictable. It's entirely possible that software engineering never will become an exact science. [There's an interesting book about this notion: David Olson, Exploiting Chaos: Closing in on the Realities of Software Development (Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1993).]
This fact leads some people to question if we should really call it engineering . If you ask a mechanical engineer to build a bridge, he or she can tell you precisely how long it will take, how much it will cost, and what the finished bridge will look like; but thanks to the chaos of complex systems, it's hard to make firm predictions about a software project. Of course your managers will ask for predictions anyway. Try and buy yourself as much time as you can, and if there's still not enough time, remember the Constraint Triangle, and negotiate to reduce the feature set or to add programmers to your team.
Alpha N program
The nearly-finished version of a program is usually called the beta version, and the alpha versions are the ones that come before that. An alpha version of a program is normally somewhat rough and unfinished .
The very first version of the program " the alpha 1 " is sometimes more of a 'prototype', which is a quick and dirty version of the program simply to prove that your concepts will work. Very commonly there will be some existing program that you use as a kind of 'seed' or 'starter dough' to get your program going. These are prototypes of a kind. But for your real alpha 1, you need to make the program show at least some minimal functionality in implementing your required features. If there are several possible approaches, you will sometimes want to prototype all of them so that you can compare. So in some situations you may have several competing alpha 1 programs. But, by the time you get to alpha 2, there should be only one version of the program.
As mentioned above, you can expect to run through at least ten or 20, and more typically over 100 alpha versions of your program while developing it. One thing to be careful about is that you don't get stuck with some sloppy design that happened to get into the alpha 1. During the early stages of alpha development you should keep thinking about your class structures. If anything is crude or awkward , now is the time to fix it, before the program goes on and gets a lot more complicated.
Usually you'll run through two or three alphas before going back and changing the design, so it's more like you'll do a specification and detailed design step, a couple of alpha programs, then another specification and detailed design, then a few alpha programs, and so on.
The most important practical thing of all when doing multiple versions of a program is to keep the versions straight. There is so much to say about this issue that there is a File Names and Directory Structure section in Chapter 21: Tools for Software Engineering.
Alpha N User's Guide
Just as there is a distinction between a detailed design and actual code, there is a distinction between a specification and actual User's Guide documentation. While doing new versions of the program, be sure and keep your documentation current. Put your documentation in a handy text file, and every time you change a feature in your program, write this change down in your documentation. At the early stages, you do not want to be involved with a technical writer or an expensive technical publications division. The alpha documentations should be quick and light, preferably written by the programmers. The alpha documentation doesn't need to be anything fancy, but it does need to clearly state what the controls are and what the ranges of the control parameters are. Otherwise you're likely to forget. This is particularly important if some of your controls are still in the popup or hot-key stage. In a way, the ongoing documentation acts as notes for the next specification. It's also a good idea to keep a separate document listing known bugs and desired features.
The User's Guide should include an explanation of why your program is interesting, a guide to installation and quick start, and a feature by feature explanation of all of the menu and dialog controls. Often working on the documentation will give you ideas on how to improve the user interface.
You should make your documentation as tight and neat as your code. Use good clear English sentences, and always be sure to use a spell-checker on your documentation. Avoid repeating obvious things over and over, and avoid uninformative statements like 'The Change Size control changes the size.' Instead explain what size is being changed, what the allowable range of size values is, why someone might want to change size, and give examples of relevant behavior at the lower and higher ends of the range.
As well as the User's Guide, there is another kind of documentation which you can create: the programmer's documentation. Most of the programmer's documentation appears inside your code: as dated logs at the beginning of the main program files, as short comments on individual lines of code, and as extensive comments next to the 'tricky' parts of the code. In addition there might be a short overview document that explains to a new programmer how all of your project files fit together.
Final design and feature freeze
In developing software, you are usually faced with some kind of temporal deadline. You can't go on changing and adding to the program forever if you are going to hit your ship date. Polishing up the program and getting the final bugs out is usually going to take more time than you expected. In fact there's a saying among software engineers : 'The first 90% of the program takes the first 90% of the time, and the last 10% takes the second 90% of the time.'
The final design has a set-in-concrete nature that the alpha N designs do not. Once you get to this point, this is what you are going to finish, and nothing more or less. 'Feature freeze' means, of course, that you are not going to be adding any more features, no matter how enticing they may seem.
Regarding how long it takes add things to a program, the author often thinks of a fractal such as a coastline. Standing on one rocky outcropping of a coast, you might look along the coast towards the next promontory and think it's an easy walk. But coasts and programs are fractals, and you're likely to find inlets blocking your way, inlets with further smaller inlets along them.
Beta N Program and Beta N User's Guide
At this point you know exactly what the program is supposed to do. The problem is to make this really true. So now you alternate making new versions of the beta N release with testing and debugging the release. This phase is also when you get really serious about your User's Guide.
In software companies, the creation of the documentation is often farmed out to a technical writing division within the company. The final specification and detailed design acts as a good starting point for the tech writers; although it is easier for them if you have been dutiful about your alpha N documentations. In general it is not a good idea to let the tech writers get started before you have done your feature freeze and gotten your final design together, otherwise they may waste a lot of time working on documentation for features which are still subject to change.
What's wrong with that? The problem is that your company will account the cost of the tech writers' time as part of your project's expense, making your work appear much less cost-effective .
Testing Beta N
It's hard to anticipate all of the bugs that a program may contain. The more people you can get testing it the better. Often the writers working on the documentation function as a kind of testing staff; they try writing down what the specification says the program does, and they see if this is true as they write it.
While testing your program, always run it in debug mode (by pressing the F5 key) so that if and when it crashes, you will be able to use the debugger information.
It's a good idea to develop an 'autorun' mode for your program under which it will run and do things without any user input. This is a type of automated testing that can be pushed pretty far; you can, for instance, have your automated test periodically change values of the program parameters as if a user were doing things.
Larger companies will have a special group devoted to testing the software; this is sometimes called the QA group . The fact is, developers don't want their code to break. Whether consciously or not, they know which kinds of tests to avoid. Only a dispassionate QA tester can really find the problems in your code. By way of testing the Pop program, the author has let successive waves of students try to find bugs in it, with extra homework points going to those who succeed.
If a lot of people are interested in your program, you may be able to hand out beta versions to them and have them try the program out.
As with the sequential alpha versions, you need to be careful to keep the successive beta versions distinct. Another issue is that of bug tracking. You should have a big document (or data base file) which includes a brief description of each bug and how to reproduce the bug, along with a record of what has been done to fix the bug. For the purposes of a student project, a simple text document with a name like bugs.txt can do the job. You might keep such a file in with your source code and revise it as time goes on.
Debugging Beta N
There are a lot of special techniques software engineers use to try and keep bugs out of their code.
Using the object-oriented language C++ instead of C is one good way for avoiding bugs. C++ allows you to encapsulate closely related variables and functions into the special kinds of types we call classes . (The instances of your classes are your objects .) With the object-oriented approach, your code becomes simpler to read and to understand, and this means it is less likely to have major bugs in its logic. The use of 'operator overloading', for instance, enables you to write something like a = b + c to stand for, say, vector addition just like you would want it to.
Another good thing about object-oriented programming (called OOP for short) is that it allows you to code up some frequently used routine only once, and to provide interfaces so this same piece of code can be used over and over. It is much easier to perfect and maintain a piece of code if it lives only in one place instead of having variant versions copied all over the place. OOP also provides a kind of access-protection for the member variables of objects, which makes it harder to carelessly alter a variable without taking into account the side-effects that this change may have. Instead of arbitrarily changing member variables, you use special 'mutator' functions that you have written so as (hopefully) to nail down all side-effects once and for all.
Still another gain from OOP is the use of constructor and destructor functions. These functions, which you write yourself for each class you define, take care of initializing the fields of your objects to default values, allocating necessary memory and resources for your objects, and freeing up memory and resources when you are through with an object.
A final benefit to C++ is the availability of template libraries which include, for instance, templates which encapsulate the notion of a linked list, a map (also known as a hash table) and an array. The MFC templates for these useful classes are called CList , CMap , and CArray , respectively. A CArray template class, for instance, takes care of the memory management issues involved with allocating and deallocating space for an array.
It should go without saying that learning how to use the debugger is all-important. Beginning and intermediate programmers tend to avoid the debugger, as it seems too confusing. But really and truly, the debugger is your friend . While developing a program you should primarily be building the ' Debug ' version of the program as opposed to the ' Release ' version " there is a switch for selecting between the two in the Microsoft Visual Studio compiler (see Appendix C for the control sequence). See Chapter 21: Tools for Software Engineering in Part II for more detailed information about using the debugger.
Final version and product ship
Putting together the final version can involve figuring out things like how to fit it all on the required number of disks, and how the users are going to install the software from the disks. Lots of issues relating to the documentation will arise as well. Often you will want to provide screen-shots for use in the documentation.
In a truly Staged Delivery cycle, it's conceivable that after you reach this level you jump all the way back to the specification and detailed design N stage, and implement a new layer of features. Note, however, that this is time-consuming, as once you start adding new features, you need to take them through the repeated alphas to get them working, and then take them through multiple betas to get them tested and debugged .
Trying to add new features late in the lifecycle is risky, but sometimes the pressure is irresistible. The urge is known as feature creep . Unless you know that you're going to have enough time to fully test the new features after implementing them, resist feature creep.
The development spiral
We mentioned above that there's a kind of software lifecycle known as the Spiral lifecycle. This means thinking in terms of spiraling clockwise around and around through four stages: analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance.
The analysis phase involves figuring out what you want the program to do. This is similar to making a software requirement. In reality, we don't immediately know all the things we want the software to do, so actually we pass back through this stage numerous times.
The design phase involves several things. One part is the object-oriented design: figuring out which classes to use, and what the class methods should be. Another part is the program design, figuring out how to break your code into modules, and how to hook the modules together with global variables and function calls. A third part of the design means figuring out your user interface. All this is too much to do at once; what you do is to keep extending and improving the designs as you pass through the design phase over and over.
The implementation phase means writing the code. As with design there are at least three types of coding you need to do: the class method coding, the program flow code, and the user interface code.
As used here, the maintenance phase includes the debugging and tweaking that goes into the program to make it work properly. The first time you implement something it rarely works just as you wanted it to. You may need to fix a bug, alter a function's behavior, or change a dialog box design.
After each cycle through the four phases, you look at what you have and try and document it. The documentation is itself a kind of analysis, and as you get a deeper understanding of your program you're ready to alter the design, implement the new design, do some maintenance on the new implementation, analyze what you've done, and so on.
Like most lifecycles, our Inventor lifecyle is a kind of cross between the Waterfall and the Spiral lifecyles.
Some students are disappointed when they take a course in software engineering. They had hoped to learn a clear and simple series of steps to follow so as to build a program. But the process turns out to be neither clear nor simple. Like it or not, software engineering is a fuzzy discipline which involves a certain amount of creativity.
A main design methodology we're going to be using in this book is the object-oriented approach described in Chapter 4: Object-Oriented Software Engineering. To begin with, we're using the object-oriented language C++, but we need to do more than write in C++ to make our design and our code truly object-oriented. More than anything else, doing object-oriented software engineering involves iteration and successive levels of refinement.
Here's a relevant passage from a classic book on object-oriented software engineering:

Velomobiles stop in Vienna on last day of tour - UpdateRoll Over America, on their last day of a four-week cross-country tour of the U.S. Most of the group were from Europe, primarily Germany and the Netherlands. There were also a few from the U.S. including reps from VelomobileUSA which makes and sells velomobiles in Texas. There were 30 velomobile drivers who stopped for about an hour to enjoy lemonade, cookies and water provided by FABB (thanks to Fionnuala for organizing the event).
It was impressive seeing the colorful collection of velomobiles in one place. The first group rolled in at around 3:45pm and the rest came in over the next hour. The group was on their way to their final stop in the tour in Georgetown.
The tour is a great way to show off the technology and get people excited about the prospects of using velomobiles for daily travel. Four of the vehicles were power-assisted, but due to the long distances traveled, and the relatively short battery life, those vehicles were often the last to arrive after having to stop to recharge the batteries. For now pedal power is the way to go for long distance velomobile travel.
As the group was leaving Vienna we took this video that shows all 30 vehicles rolling toward Georgetown on the W&OD Trail.
Update: 8/26/2011:
See a video about the velomobile tour stop in Vienna on Vienna Patch.

While I'd love to take credit for this savory summer squash soup recipe, Leo will walk away with the best soup award, not yours truly.
And who is Leo you ask?
Leo is my coworker, and when I told him I was drowning in summer squash, he came to the rescue.
You would think that after years of planting zucchini and yellow squash, I would learn that it only takes a plant or two to feed the entire neighborhood.
Not me! We've been eating zucchini for weeks now.
Amongst the many dishes we've enjoyed these past few weeks, this chicken and pasta in a light sour cream sauce was a hit. . .
And when we turned this healthy summer squash into pancakes using cornbread mix as the base for the batter, the family was pleased.
Probably because I didn't burn them as I am prone to do!
But after listening to Leo's description of his garden fresh soup, I knew right then what the outcome of the last of my squash would be – Leo's soup!
The addition of leek is the sign of a cook looking for flavor, but Leo's fennel is complete genius in this soup.
This summer squash soup has a depth of flavor and aroma that wafts through the air, prompting a dip with my testing spoon more than I'd care to admit.
Thanks Leo! Your soup is off the chain!
Shake It Up!
Leo used bacon in his soup. I had chopped ham on hand, so it went into my pot.
If you don't have leeks, yellow onions work just fine, but don't skip the fennel!
If you have fennel seeds, you could crush a few, add them to the pot to see what you think. But if you can grab a bulb of fennel at the store, that light licorice flavor takes this soup over the top.
Serves 4 - 2 cup servings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups leek, sliced
- 1 large bulb fennel, sliced
- 8 ounces ham, cubed into small pieces
- 3 cups zucchini, thickly sliced
- 3 cups yellow squash, thickly sliced
- 2 clove garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 64 ounces low sodium vegetable broth
- Preheat a soup pot over medium high heat. Add oil to the pot.
- Add leeks and fennel to the pot and cook, stirring often for 5 minutes.
- Add ham and cook another 5 minutes stirring often.
- Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 30 minutes until vegetables are soft.

single cup coffee maker reviews
Cuisinart EM-200 Review
We reviewed it's younger brother the EM-100 here, and we have to say that there is a lot that the EM-200 has going for it as the older one in the family. Some of the quirks are gone, and there are a few great tricks that the EM-200 has picked up which make it a standout machine at just under $200. While we did like the EM-100 for what it could do, the EM-200 takes it much farther for just a bit more.
While you may only know Cuisinart for their food processors, you may soon begin to know them for their espresso machines as well. The quality of the espresso that comes out of here is absolutely phenomenal and something that we would expect from a machine twice it's price. Everything about the machine makes it easy to make a good espresso that is exactly the size you want.
One thing that we did notice with this machine was that it was a bit harder to get a consistent crema than you would think. Regardless of how everything else was prepared and tamped, the crema wasn't as strong as we would've liked.
how to use cuisinart coffee maker:
Since it isn't a super-automatic, you will have to do a little more work to make your espresso: grinding the beans, tamping the coffee, etc. You will end up getting a good cup of espresso without too much fuss. The machine itself has a very simple, classical styling to it that only gives you the options that you need and leaves out a lot of the rest.
This machine works with espresso pods as well if you would rather skip grinding and tamping your coffee, which makes the brewing process significantly easier to go through.
Many things Cuisinart makes are rock solid, and the EM-200 is one of them, to a point. While the machine is fairly well made, it does have some noticeable defects that prevent it from working properly at all times. The responses of people who have had problems with their machines have been helped by the fact that Cuisinart customer services seems to take these complaints seriously and will very quickly repair or replace your model, which is a good sign of a product that a company is willing to stand by.
While the company does seem willing to stand by their product, which is a good sign, the build quality could be a little better, but we've seen much worse on a machine in this price range. Having a machine break is never fun, but it seems that it isn't that big of a problem and is taken care of quickly.
Add Ons/Accessories:
Besides a steam nozzle, which functions at about a 5/10, the EM-200 has a cup warming tray and has the added feature of allowing you to manually program your brew amounts. This is a great feature to have if you want to make drinks that are more or less than a single or double shot or play around with the amount of caffeine that you want in your morning coffee.
The EM-200 is a great step up for Cuisinart from the EM-100, but there are still some issues that we would like them to address in the build quality department before definitively making a judgement on it. If it weren't for the iffy quality, I would definitely say that this machine is a best buy in the under $200 category. One way of allaying some of the build problems is to go with a reseller like Amazon, who has a fantastic return policy and will truly give you no-hassle service.

Brunello Compared – Sold out
Pollenzo-Banca del Vino
Two areas of Montalcino that encapsulate a unique territory with different production methods, which affect the characteristics of this great Tuscan red. Col d'Orcia owes its name to the Orcia River and is located in southwestern Montalcino, overlooking Grosseto; Nardi is on the opposite side of the river on the east, facing Pienza. We'll be tasting three great millesimi: 1999, 2006 and 2010 of these two grand crus to understand the importance of their terroir. Poggio al Vento by Col d'Orcia will be compared with Nardi's Manachiara Vineyard. To accompany the wine there will be brown cow Parmigiano Reggiano at various ages of maturation.
Six kilometers from Bra, Pollenzo is the other main hub of Cheese 2017 activities. A special shuttle service will take you from Bra to Pollenzo, so you can create your own program and move around easily without using your car.

Current Needs – Uganda
Word In Deed Ministries is proactive in various projects, providing financial support, administrative guidance, mentoring, spiritual growth through church-planting, physical needs through medical clinics, and educational support through funding and building schools.
Below is a list of various ongoing projects that we are currently working on and need financial assistance in bringing these projects to fruition. God is always our glorious provider, and we are confident, in HIS holy timing, we will accomplish the goals HE places on our hearts.
NTENJERU CLINIC, MUKONO – The clinic is operating and open but requires financial assistance for the salary of a licensed nurse ($100 a month). The local support staff is presently working with a Ugandan doctor to obtain the various certifications and requirements to obtain legal affirmation from the government the the clinic is 'accredited' and licensed. If you are inspired to help with the nurse's salary and/or the equipping of supplies, medications, etc., at the clinic, this is an ongoing need.
RESOURCE CENTER – NTENJERU, MUKONO – Word In Deed Ministries recently purchased a 5-acre track of land within walking distance to the Ntenjeru Presbyterian Church, School and Clinic. Our God-sized goal is to have a Community Resource Center that can be a multi-use facility for the surrounding villages. We foresee it as a place for community outreach and expansion where there can be group gatherings and educational seminars for locals and for visiting educators and pastors. The ultimate goal is to offer training classes (i.e., secretarial, sewing, God's Way of Farming, carpentry, business management, computer training, adult education in reading and writing) to local villagers seeking to learn skills allowing them to earn incomes to support their families, (as the Bible says, 'teaching them to fish, not just giving them a fish to eat'). We also intend to have residential facilities for missionaries to live, both short-term and long term. This is a long term project and requires dedicated focus and commitment.
With the initial assistance of 100 Fold Studios (http://www.100foldstudio.org) they generated a basic rendering back in 2012. Now, in 2016 we are in "fundraising mode" to put this vision into a reality. The anticipated cost for this project, which would be more modern and Western in design (i.e., running water, showers, toilets, solar electric, cooking facilities), is approximately $300,000 – $350,000. This amount is largely due to the infrastructure which needs to be put in place – roads, electric, water. We hope to have the water drilling completed by 2015 and commence construction in 2017. eMI (Engineering Ministries International – www.emi.org) has partnered with us in the architectural design and site plan development.
Phase One of this project is anticipated to start in July 2017, which consists of a Property Managers House. WID is working with local Ugandan architect, Alex Bakyayita of 11'14 Studio Ltd, and Ssimbulira-Ddimu Construction Company Limited in a joint effort to have the first phase of this project completed by September 2017. WID is giving God all the glory for this project.
NTENJERU COVENANT PRIMARY SCHOOL– The primary school needs water, and we are grateful for donations that have come in to help drill a production well for the school in 2016. Now we need the funds for finishing work for this project, i.e., a solar/electric pump and large capacity storage tank so that the pump continually fills the water tank so continual access to water is available. The dry season makes it difficult for the rain-catchment method, which is partially in place at the school/church compound. Having water all year is a luxury and we are praying that this can soon be a reality for this school and the surrounding community. The balance of $6,000 is needed to finish this project to 100% completion.
The main school building is in need of some minor ascetic finishing touches, and what remains as an essential priority are – desks, educational material, teachers training tools.
MPUNGE COVENANT SCHOOL – We are prayerfully seeking support to fully equip the Mpunge Covenant School with solar lighting for the dormitories and for security purpose surrounding the school compound. Many young children who seek to be educated in the small, remote villages are orphaned or being raised by people other than their parents. The Mpunge school can now accommodate up to 50 children, but currently there are no lights, no electricity which prohibits them from being able to study in the evening. Typically in Uganda, a private school that offers housing for children charges a small fee. Then these children will also be cared for, a place to sleep, eat and educated. The desire is for this school to generate a small income through the boarding school fees received. This income in turn provides education, housing and meals to orphaned children who cannot pay school fees.
Word in Deed is currently seeking a $7,000 grant. The major expense is to install a full solar lighting system for the school campus. Additionally, there is a water tank that needs replacing which supplies water for the school and the surrounding villagers. Finally, we hope to provide resources like desks, chairs, books, and school supplies for the students. (PRAISING GOD-Partial Prayers Answered/December 2015 for the solar lights)
If you can help with these and would like to contribute specifically for any of the above, or have any questions, please email or call Lisa Sorensen / email@example.com / 561.352.6095.
Thank you.

This little ornament was made for me by my daughter when she was in school during the eighties and over the years it has become a treasured little possession of mine. I call it Hefalump Hathi as a term of endearment, Hathi being the Hindi word for elephant and Hefalump being a lovely children's word for the same beautiful animal.
Over the years this little treasure has suffered two broken legs which I've mended with super glue but I'm so pleased that it wasn't damaged too badly in storage and transit over the years. I'm tempted to hide it away in my study to protect it but have decided against that because I want people to see it and enjoy it as much as I do. Come dinner parties it will be at table-centre to kick off the chatter 🙂

Rev. Sun Myung Moon
As a Peace-loving Global Citizen is the autobiography of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the founder of the Unification Movement. It was published in 2009 in both Korean and English by Gimm-Young Publishers of Seoul, South Korea. The book was released in South Korea on March 9, 2009 and debuted at #3 on the Businesss bestseller's list.

The Peaceful Family Is the Building Block of Heaven
When autumn comes, the chestnut tree gradually loses its moisture, and its leaves begin to fall. The outer shell of the chestnut falls off, and even the inner shell that surrounds the actual nut dries up. This is the cycle of life. Human beings are the same way. We are born as infants, grow up on the love of our parents, meet a wonderful partner, and get married. All this occurs in the chain of life made up of love. In the end, we become like chestnuts becoming dry in the autumn. Old people are not a separate category of people. We all become old. We must not treat old people disrespectfully, no matter how senile they may become.
There is a saying, "Anything can be accomplished when there is harmony in the home." When there is peace in the family, everything goes well. The peaceful family is the building block of the Kingdom of Heaven. The family operates on the power of love. If we love the universe as we love our families, then there is nothing to stop us from going anywhere we want. God exists in the center of love, as the Parent of the entire universe. That is why the love in the family needs to link directly to God. When the family is completed in love, the universe will be completed.

ATLANTA — Chinese tire maker Doublestar Tire announced it is looking for a U.S. partner to "cooperate" in manufacturing and distributing its truck tires in the United States.
The company made its announcements at the inaugural North American Commercial Vehicle Show here Sept. 27.
"We are looking for business partners to develop certain products. We are taking baby steps. But once we have some interest, we will be very aggressive," said Jason Ju, North America director, Qingdoa Doublestar Overseas Trading Co.
NACV COVERAGE: All stories | Live blog | Photo gallery
The company is currently exporting tires to the U.S., Ju said, and distributing them through a network of multibrand dealers.
A key impetus in the search for U.S. partners is the possibility of increased U.S. tariffs on foreign goods, Ju said.
Doublestar's manufacturing and warehouse operation in China is heavily automated, and the facility, built in 2014, uses about 250 employees, compared with the previous plant's 1,000 employees, he said, adding the company is a leading brand in China and Asia.
DoubleStar is a unit of Tyrefull Rubber Industry Co.
