Installing Mendix 2.5 on Debian Lenny
This tutorial describes a basic installation of Mendix on Debian Lenny. In this example, the database server and the webserver are on one psychical machine; of course you can experiment to find the best solution in your situation. While Apache is one of the most webservers used today, we use Nginx instead because it's very lightweight. Because of this we recommend giving Nginx a try.
- Installed Debian 5 Lenny operating system
- Mendix release in .tar.gz format provided by Mendix
- M2ee tools provided by Mendix
- License key provided by Mendix
Nginx From Backports
We use Nginx as webserver. To support IPv6, we install a backport from lenny-backports.
Add the following to /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: nginx
Pin: release a=lenny-backports, o=Debian Backports
Pin-Priority: 991
Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list if you didn't do so previously.
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/backports.org/ lenny-backports main
Install External Packages
- Nginx
- sun-java6-jre
- oidentd
- sqlite3
- unzip
- bzip2
- python-simplejson
- python-yaml
- python-simplejson
- python-httplib2
- syslog-ng
- postgresql-8.3
After these applicationa have been installed we have a Webserver (Nginx), Database (PostgreSQL) and Java 6. Now the server can be configured to run Mendix Applications.
Create XAS Specific User and Groups
addgroup --system mxadmin
adduser --system --ingroup mxadmin --shell /bin/bash mxdeploy
addgroup xas2
Public Key Authentication
If you are using public key authentication instead of passwords, you need to change /etc/ssh/sshd_config such that 'mxadmin' and 'xas2' are also among the allowed groups.
AllowGroups root mxadmin xas2
Configure the Server
There are some folders that need to be created. The first folder is the location where the logfiles will be saved. The second folder is the location where Mendix Runtime will be extracted.
mkdir -p /var/log/xas2/
mkdir -p /usr/local/share/mendix/
mkdir -p /etc/m2ee/
Create example project directory structure:
mkdir -p /srv/mxinstances/example/data/database/
mkdir -p /srv/mxinstances/example/data/files/
mkdir -p /srv/mxinstances/example/data/model-upload/
mkdir -p /srv/mxinstances/example/data/tmp/
mkdir -p /srv/mxinstances/example/model/
mkdir -p /srv/mxinstances/example/web/
Add the following to the mxdeploy user .bashrc so that when logging in as mxdeploy so you don't have to change the folder anymore.
change /home/mxdeploy/.bashrc
cd /usr/local/share/mendix/
Change /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf and add:
# Logging from XAS
filter f_local6 { facility(local6); };
filter f_xas2 { facility(local6) and program("^(.*)$"); };
destination df_xas2 { file("/var/log/xas2/$1.log" group(xas2) perm(0640)); };
log { source(s_all); filter(f_xas2); destination(df_xas2); };
Create /etc/m2ee/m2eerc and add:
# mxjar_repo, containing directories with version-numbering, which contain
# mxruntime and m2ee-server directories with java libraries
mxjar_repo: /usr/local/share/mendix/
Add kernel.shmmax for Postgresql
For PostgreSQL we need to add kernel.shmmax to /etc/sysctl.conf. With sysctl -p you can list the current settings of kernel variables.
kernel.shmmax = 1073741824
Configure Postgresql
Change /etc/postgresql/8.3/main/pg_hba.conf and add if you want to use ident authentication:
# IPv4 local connections:
host sameuser all 127.0.0.1/32 ident sameuser
# IPv6 local connections:
host sameuser all ::1/128 ident sameuser
Change Owner of xas Directories
The 'mxdeploy' user is used to extract new Mendix releases. These Mendix releases are extracted in the /usr/local/share/mendix/ folder.
chown mxdeploy:mxadmin /home/mxdeploy -R
chown mxdeploy:mxadmin /usr/local/share/mendix/
Now it's possible to upload the new Mendix release. After uploading the tar.gz file as the 'mxdeploy' user to the /usr/local/share/mendix/ folder we can extract it by issuing the command 'tar xvf
Create Application User
MXADMPASS=???? -> Please be sure to use strong passwords
MXPROJECT="Example Project"
Add an application user in the 'xas2' group. As you can see we don't use passwords for users, and use Public Key authentication instead. We recommend you do the same.
adduser --disabled-password --ingroup xas2 --gecos "$MXPROJECT,,," $MXUSER
Create Database and Database User
create database example;
create role example login connection limit ????;
Change Application User
Change /home/$MXUSER/.bashrc
alias cdm="cd /srv/mxinstances/$LOGNAME"
export PGHOST=localhost
export PGPORT=5432
if [ -d /srv/mxinstances/$LOGNAME ]
echo "Redirecting you to /srv/mxinstances/$LOGNAME"
cd /srv/mxinstances/$LOGNAME
Change Variables in Configuration File
Change /home/$MXUSER/.m2eerc with the variables that ahve just been created.
sed -i "s/_MXUSER/$MXUSER/;s/MXURL/$MXURL/;s/MXPORT/$MXPORT/;s/MXADMPORT/$MXADMPORT/;s/MXADMPASS/$MXADMPASS/;s/MXPROJECT_/$MXPROJECT/" /home/$MXUSER/.m2eerc
Now we have to create a new project folder. There is already an example folder located in /srv/mxinstances/ ; we can can use a copy of this. By entering the following commands, a copy of the /srv/mxinstances/example folder is created and the owner of the new folders is changed to the application user.
cd /srv/mxinstances/
cp -a example $MXUSER
chown $MXUSER:xas2 $MXUSER/* -R
chmod 700 $MXUSER/model $MXUSER/data
Automatic start your application when the server boots
Command: crontab -u $MXUSER -e
Add: @reboot /usr/bin/m2ee start
Install M2ee tools
Upload the .deb file provided by Mendix to the server and install the .deb package by issuing dpkg -i m2eetools.deb
Nginx configuration
Now we are going to configure Nginx. The wiki page of Nginx is wiki.nginx.org. In this example we will show some basic configuration. In Apache the following is called virtualhost.
server {
listen [::]:443;
listen 0.0.0.0:443;
server_name example.mendix.nl;
root /srv/mxinstances/example/web/;
location = /xas/ {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:$MXPORT/xas/;
location = /file {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:$MXPORT/file;
client_max_body_size 20M;
Gzip configuration is shown here. Gzip is a very good method to lower used bandwidth. To see what this configuration means you should take a look at http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpGzipModule and http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpGzipStaticModule.
http {
gzip on;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]";
gzip_types application/json;
gzip_static on;
Install has been completed
Congratulations! Mendix has been installed on your system.

Nextbit Robin Unlocked Smartphone

Nextbit Robin Unlocked Smartphone
You are currently viewing a single conversation.
Return to Full Discussion
As a Robin owner, I suppose I should toss in my $0.02.
First things first, the nextbit cloud syncing stuff is the silliest thing I've ever heard of - it doesn't make any sense at all. It would only really make sense for some theoretical person who has a large mobile data plan, is never out of coverage, but doesn't want to use streaming services, and uses a literal butt ton of applications. For everyone else, and SD card slot would make a lot more sense - especially since a 128gb card is like $30, and way faster than 4g, and not tied to somebody else's servers being up and having a connection. Ultimately, the Ars Technica review hit the nail on the head when they said Nextbit's Cloud storage is reinventing the wheel, and coming up with a square.
Second, the battery life is weak. I'm a pretty heavy user, but I run a tight ship - no extraneous services, apps or whatever - just a pared down stock OS, low brightness, no sounds, and I'm getting around 3.5 hours of screen on time on a good day, browsing in firefox, texting and chatting via discord/whatsapp/steam. My Galaxy S6, HTC One M8 Windows, and my Lumia 950 all handily beat the Robin for battery life - and my Lumia 928 and Droid Turbo utterly slaughter it. The nextbit is the only phone I have, out of the ones I regularly use, that I have to charge during the course of my day. It's not a dealbreaker, but I really shouldn't have to - especially when several of my other devices have similar battery capacity, but higher resolution screens that use more power.
Third, the camera and speakers are sub par, even at this price point. The camera is fine enough, but the Nexus 5x beats it in quality and focus speed. The speakers are loud, and stereo, and front facing, but they're overdriven, and can get really gross and crackly sounding above 80% volume or so. The headphone jack is fantastic though, and drives some headphones several of my other phones cant, pretty well.
Fourth, the phone is plastic. The external body is a soft coat rubber, and I love how it looks and feels. But there's no metal internal structure at all - Jerry Rig Everything on youtube snapped one in half like a toothpick with his bare hands, and it didn't take much effort. It doesn't feel nearly as sturdy as most of my other devices, and I'd be terrified to carry it in a back pocket, for example.
Those caveats out of the way, I really like the device. I think it's gorgeous, it feels good in the hand, it charges fast, the screen is solid, and the factory load of android is mostly great. I'd love to see a dark theme, and the Nextbit launcher is trash (if I wanted all my apps in a big, horizontally scrolling list, I'd just get an iPhone, thanks). But with a bit of tweaking and a replacement launcher, it's pretty solid - not quite AOSP/Nexus level, but easily my least hated OEM android ROM. I will probably flash over to Cyanogen one of these days though, once there's a stable build out.
Overall, this phone has a lot of flaws, but it's unique, looks amazing, and it does a lot of things right. I think a Robin 2, with some refinement across the board, could easily be the best phone on the market - it'd need an OLED display, SD slot, better battery life, a much tougher chassis with a metal internal frame, speakers that don't fuzz out at the top end, and the headphone jack and USB port on the same end of the device - but it's come closer to what I think a phone should be than the vast majority of stuff out there, and that's absolutely worthy of praise for a startup like this.
For $250, you could do a lot worse. But frankly, unless you think the Robin is really sexy, you may as well get a Nexus 5x 32gb - it's tougher, has a much better camera, and can be had brand new for $240 on ebay every day, without the massdrop shipping wait.
Hey thanks for the honest feedback on the phone. Funny that you think the cloud storage is silly, considering that's the main reason the phone exists, but I guess it's not for everyone. About the launcher, the team is evaluating dark themes, and though I've used a bunch of different launchers, for some reason, I've come back to the Nextbit one often. I initially felt that the whole no app drawer thing was weird at first, but somehow it grew on me. But that's the beauty of Android right? You can switch it out if you don't like it.
The team is trying to make Robin the best, and with our consistent updates, I think it will be an even better device. A nexus device is fine, but the 5X's 2GB RAM vs. Robin's 3GB is a big difference in everyday performance.
Well, I appreciate that the cloud storage solution is the reason the phone exists, but, honestly I fully believe it's an objectively inferior solution compared to an SD slot - though it could freely exist alongside an SD slot, and I suspect much of the code for choosing what to back up might be useful for optimizing which data to migrate over to SD. And having the cloud solution in addition to the local storage and SD would be fine too - but the user experience of having to wait say, 5 minutes for the app you wanted to launch to download, because your phone decided you don't need it that bad and you've got a mediocre signal, represents a use flaw that simply wouldn't exist on one of my phones with an SD slot, where the full 16/32/whatever internal storage can be fully dedicated apps, and I can use the SD card for my large piles of media. I tried to use the cloud storage for the first two weeks or so, purposefully keeping the device pretty packed, and what ends up happening is that I don't use my phone for ancillary tasks as much - when you go to take out your phone to launch a lesser used app that's situational - like the eBay app, when I had to get an address to ship something, it's not ready to go. And that wait meant that I simply used the browser instead, completely negating the reason I had the app in the first place, which harms the user experience compared to a normal android device. And sure, you could pin the apps so they don't upload, but then it focuses more on shoving pictures up, which in my case saves less space since I have relatively few, and also could hurt the user experience in the event of a slow/no connection - "Hey, look at this picture of my dog. Err, hang on, it's loading... ...Nevermind, I'll send it later"
Further, the nextbit cloud lacks utility compared to some other cloud programs, all of which have solid android apps. If I want my pictures to go online, onedrive, dropbox, google drive, and at least 10 others can all do that seamlessly - and in the case of onedrive, which I use, automatically put that content on all my phones, desktops, all nearly instantly. With the nextbit cloud, there's no such syncing - sure you can use the web client, but it can't sync my pictures over to my mac, windows phone, iphone, and such. The app backup is neat, and novel for android, but not that useful. And the Nextbit cloud won't do other media too, so I can't say, put some music or movies up there and stream it to myself, which I can with onedrive, and several others. Plus, pardon my frankness, but I trust google/microsoft/dropbox uptime more than nextbit - you guys haven't had a big outage yet or anything that I know of, but what happens if nextbit fails? Is my cloud content gone? That's a worry I don't have with microsoft/google, since they aren't gonna disappear anytime soon, and more importantly they allow me to nearly immediately have a local copy on nearly every device I have - so even if microsoft went bankrupt, my house burned down, and I got struck by lightning, killing my phone, all in the same day, I'd still have a copy of my media and stuff on my work computer, my car, and such. (Of course, I hope very strongly nextbit doesn't fail, because we need more people making phones that aren't just boring slabs of glass and grey aluminum, but it's certainly more likely than losing a tech giant.)
Now, obviously having the device almost full is a worst case scenario, but it's the scenario you guys seem to target, since, surely, if I have say, 20gb free, there's no reason at all to back anything up - I would hope that only when the phone is within a couple gigs of full, does it start seriously migrating things to cloud storage. And as soon as it does, an SD makes more sense - or, you know, actually including a fair bit of storage from the factory - 128gb of eMMC is like $25, and I have to assume, less in quantity purchases. UFS-II in the same 128gb is more like $50. Either way, that's DRAMATICALLY less expensive than the literally hundreds that the likes of apple and samsung like to charge for storage upgrades. You really wanna disrupt the market and make an interesting phone? Don't make a mediocre cloud service - make sub $400 phone that has flagship specs, looks as sexy as the Robin currently does, but has 128gb of memory standard, with an SD slot to boot - that would be truly disruptive. Though I'd absolutely settle for just 32gb + SD, as 32gb is enough for most users, and people like me can add as much storage as they feel they need.
With regard to the launcher, yeah, I don't mind that the nextbit launcher exists - I'll just never use it personally. And, as you say, that's the best thing about android.
Certainly your OS updates are solid - no July Security update yet - but you're kicking most of my other phone's butt. I'm looking forward to that Q4 battery life update.
As for the 2gb of RAM vs 3gb, I'm sure there's use cases where it makes a difference, but in my experience, it doesn't. I don't have a Nexus 5x anymore - sold it before I got the Robin, so I haven't had a chance to directly compare them. But I never felt like it was choppy or slow or anything - never really went above 1.9gb used (quick check shows my robin is at 2.0gb used right this second), and the background app culling and such didn't really seem any worse. But I heavily use 4-5 apps, rather than 20 or something, so maybe it just doesn't show for me. Individual users will need to decide for themselves, I guess - but for me, 2gb or 3gb just doesn't matter.

Snow Art
Of course, this is coming from someone with three decks, none of which are shovelled off.
Of course, you could just be like the chickens who look out the coop door and it doesn't matter whether they see their shadow or not -- they see snow and say, "Looks like six more weeks of winter to me."
The other night, I had to go into town to take a photo for this week's community correspondent report on CTV Morning Live. When I came out of the arena, it was just starting to snow and the streets were empty. I wanted so badly to take the dog for a walk. As much as I embrace my country life and don't want to live anywhere else, that's what the city girl in me misses about living in town: Going for walks in the falling snow after dark, enjoying the quiet streets, the muffled noises, the peace of the evening.

Daemonizing a Python script
It's pretty straightforward to daemonize and communicate with a Python script using the PYRO (Python Remoting Objects) library. I found this example on StackOverflow recently and it worked for my purposes.
If you haven't already, setup pip. Then use it to install Pyro.
To test the daemon, you'll need two scripts–a client and server. The server acts as the daemon and the client communicates with it.

Happy Hump Day people! Today is my turn to host the Karleigh Sue Inspiration Blog, and I am delighted to share a twisted easel card I made using the sweet image Runaway Heart. For the theme of my card, I chose to make it about running away to 'Follow Your Dream'. I hope you like it!
I just love the twisted easel card...they are so east to make! Here is a picture of the card folded:
The Copic colors I used are: skin - E000, E00, E04, E11, E21 & R20; hair - E31, E33, E35 & E37; dress - YR000, R11, R22 & R43; rock - C1, C3 & C5.
For the card I used Bazzill cardstock, paper/die cuts from Michaels, flowers/leaves from Wild Orchid and LaLa Land die. I cut strips of colored paper to add behind my hot-air balloon die cut to mimic the balloon on the sentiment. I think it looks pretty cool...what do you think?
Inside the card:
I thought 'Follow Your Dreams' was perfect for this sweet girl. Thanks for taking a look today, and remember to always 'FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS'...you never know where they might lead you;)

Parent 'Optimism Training' May Reduce Behavior Problems
Aug 07, 2013 -- 1:27 pmFrom Disabilityscoop.com
By SHAUN HEASLEY
August 7, 2013 Text Size A A
Providing "optimism training" to parents of children with developmental disabilities who struggle with challenging behavior appears to go a long way, researchers say.
Behavior issues seen in children were more likely to subside for parents whose own attitudes were addressed while they were taught to implement positive behavior support as opposed to parents who were merely trained in how to address their children's challenges.
The findings come from a five-year study looking at 54 families of children ages 3 to 6 with developmental disabilities who struggled with serious challenging behaviors like aggression and self-injury. Researchers specifically selected parents who were pessimistic about their children's prospects.
For the study, parents were asked to participate in eight weekly sessions. Half learned to implement positive behavior support while the other half received behavior instruction as well as so-called optimism training. This additional instruction helped parents learn how to identify and address patterns in their own thoughts and feelings. In difficult situations, for example, parents were taught to use positive self-talk like "this is a situation I can handle" as opposed to thinking "my child is out of control."

Reed Krakoff Launches Limited Edition Kohl's Collection — See It Here
Reed Krakoff has just launched a new, limited edition collection for Kohl's and it is fabulous! Not only is the collection stunning, it is super affordable too. What do you think of this collab?
Reed Krakoff, the high-fashion brand, has officially teamed up with Kohl's for a limited-edition Reed for Kohl's collection and it is everything we've ever dreamed of. The collection will be priced between $15 and $129 and will include everything from women's wear, footwear, and accessories, with a focus on handbags. The collection will be available at 1,116 Kohl's stores and kohls.com in mid-April, so get ready everyone!
Reed Krakoff had a signature collection which included handbags in the range of $1,200 to $3,000, so this new collection with Kohl's is very exciting as it is super affordable. Krakoff called the line with Kohl's, "the new accessible luxury."
Michelle Gass, Kohl's chief merchandising and customer officer, told our sister site, WWD, "The future of the designation is to be determined. Frankly, the designation isn't a significant priority for us going forward. We're bringing in these great known brands to elevate the assortment in the store. We're making sure that Reed is our primary focus." She goes on to describe Reed's brand, "a contemporary feel in a good, modern way. Among the areas we're looking to grow and expand are the modern and modern classic looks."
The collection is pretty casual and not too fancy, which makes it easy to wear. All of the pieces are primarily made up of colorblocking, stripes, perforated fabrics, and dip-dyed items.
Gass went on to praise Reed's career at Coach Inc., saying, "Reed is so famous for what he's done in the world of handbags. He's responsible for designing, touching and influencing more handbags than any other designer in the world. He's a master. When you look at the iconic bags he created under his own name, they're fantastic. They're thoughtful, elegant and very functional. He's built a collection for us based on his own collection. There are nuances and differences, and he made [the products] more acceptable."
Reed made a statement about the collection, "There's this amazing opportunity for handbags in this space and for design that's absolutely unique and exciting and affordable. At the highest order, the mission of Reed is to create excitement in accessories. It's not a very dynamic spot right now." In regards to the quality of the products, "To be frank, you never know where it will go with this level of detail. There's now an ability to produce amazing products at very attractive prices."
Some of Reed's proceeds will be donated to the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
What do you guys think of this new collection, are you excited?

Yes, the Riley blog is back after its Christmas and New Year break.
Being away gave me the opportunity to do some reading and one book that I enjoyed and strongly recommend was Irrationality by Stuart Sutherland.
My copy is a 2007 edition of this 1992 book by Sutherland, who was Professor of Psychology at Sussex University. He died in 1998.
Essentially the book is about the many errors of thinking to which we humans are prone; in particular he considers the way we form unshakeable opinions or rush into decisions based on a firm misunderstanding of reality. This is critical stuff for anyone who is in business or, indeed, anyone who isn't.
In his review of the book, Nicholas Lezard wrote in The Guardian:
"The advance of civilisation and the cultivation of the collective mind would be improved if it were this book, rather than the Bible, that were placed in bedside cabinets of hotels throughout the world…There are few books about psychology that can make you laugh out loud; this is one of them. You must buy this book."
The chapter titles give you a vague idea of where Sutherland takes us: The wrong impression; Obedience; Conformity; In-groups and Out-groups; Organisational folly; and so on.
For me – burdened with a training in auditing – the chapter on risk was particularly engaging though perhaps lacking the humour to be found in other chapters. I'd like to quote one section of this.
After pointing out that it is often difficult to foresee all the possible chains through which a risk could develop, the following is related:
"As a further example of a disaster caused by irrationality at all levels consider the sinking of the car ferry, the Herald of Free Enterprise in calm seas outside Zeebrugge with the loss of 180 lives. The immediate cause was water entering the car decks because the ship sailed with the bow doors open. The following factors contributed to the disaster: 1. Although the captain had asked for an automatic signal on the bridge showing the state of the doors, none had been supplied. 2. The assistant bosun who should have closed the doors was fast asleep. 3. The officer who should have checked that they were closed had been called away on other duties, because of a shortage of crew. 4. The Herald had originally been designed to ply between Dover and Calais: since the ramp at Zeebrugge was lower than that at Calais, the ship had to take on ballast water to lower it sufficiently to load the cars at Zeebrugge. Because the captain had been ordered to save twenty minutes on the crossing, there was no time to pump out the ballast before leaving, so that the ship was unduly low in the water. 5. Because of the time pressure, the Captain left at full speed, thus creating a bow wave which swept into the car decks.
"Two points should be made. First, had any one of these factors been absent, the ship might well not have sunk. Second…..the main responsibility must lie with the managers…"
So this was caused by an extraordinary array of coincidences, but led to an accident that led us all to think – how could something so daft have happened? Well, the book explains.
The chapter 'The failure of intuition' points out that intuition is the strange instinct that tells a person he is right, whether he is or not.
If you want to be equipped to take better decisions, read this book.

Radio frequency skin tightening (RF) is an aesthetic technique that uses RF energy to heat tissue and stimulate subdermal collagen production in order to reduce the appearance of fine lines and loose skin. The technique induces tissue remodeling and production of new collagen and elastin. This treatment can be performed on face and body.
In Beauty and Laser Clinic we use bi-polar Radio frequency which is the new technology for skin tightening treatments. RF is designed to treat loose and sagging skin, energizing, toning and strengthening the muscles and skin.
Loose skin will be firmer, more toned, healthier and younger looking. Results are noticeable and continuously improve for weeks to come. Radio Frequency can be a stand-alone treatment, or can be used in combination with the other procedures.
Treatable areas include:
- Forehead and brow
- Chin and jowls
- Neck skin
- Upper arms and hands
- Abdomen and love handles
- Buttocks
- Inner and outer thighs
- Cellulite and stretchmarks
RF Skin Tightening has three effects on the skin:
1. Tissue Retraction: The generated heat immediately tightens the skin.
2. New collagen formation: By heating the dermis, new collagen production is stimulated.
3. Improved circulation: Skin Tightening improves blood and lymphatic flow.
What should I expect after my treatment?
Redness and heat in the treated skin that disappears within 30 minutes.
How many treatments are recommended?
A course of 8-10 treatments is recommended with weekly treatments. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 14 weeks.

At Beauty & Laser Clinic, Our experienced qualified therapists will advise you based on your skin type, Condition and the nature of the treatments that you are receiving to assure your needs and budget by providing an honest and realistic outcome in the consultation.

You are in: Home > Keeping Fit > Aerobic Exercise
Aerobic Exercise
Aerobic exercise includes any form of exercise which increases your breathing and heart rate. It improves the degree of oxygen uptake and the overall fitness and efficiency of the heart and lungs as well as exercising other muscles. During aerobic exercise your body requires more oxygen which means your heart beats faster to pump more blood around the body, and the heart and lungs are working harder to deliver oxygen from the air to your muscles. This helps strengthen your heart and lungs making them work more efficiently. It also helps lower the risk of heart attack and coronary artery disease.
Aerobic exercise can also:
How much aerobic exercise should I do?
Complete beginners should start off by doing 5-10 minutes and gradually build this up. As you become more active aim for 20-30 minutes, at least 3 days a week. If you are using aerobic exercise for weight loss you may want to do more than 30 minutes.
During aerobic exercise your heart rate will increase, most aerobic gym equipment will monitor your heart rate for you, however you should not allow your heart rate to increase to more than 75% of your heart's maximum capacity. It should reach a point between 50% and 75% of your maximum heart rate and stay there for 20 minutes or more. To calculate your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220 for a male and 226 for a female. For example, the maximum rate for a female aged 30 is approximately 196.
As aerobic exercise puts pressure on the heart, lungs and blood vessels it is advisable to consult your doctor before beginning an aerobic exercise program particularly if you have any health problems.
Before starting your aerobic exercise you should do 5-10 minutes of stretching & flexibility exercises and the same after you have finished your aerobis session.
Click here to find out about stretching & flexibility exercises.
Types of aerobic exercise
The most popular types of aerobic exercise include walking, jogging, running, cycling, rowing and swimming.
Running and jogging are classed as high-impact aerobic exercise because of the stress placed on muscles and joints. They are probably the most flexible forms of aerobic exercise as they can be done on the road or on the treadmill in a gym. Undertaking these types of exercise regularly, during which you push your body beyond what it's used to doing, will help you achieve a well balanced body.
Walking (on the road or on a treadmill), swimming and cycling are classed as low-impact forms of aerobic exercise, although it is worth knowing that cycling can put stress on muscles and knees.
Other good forms of aerobic exercise include ball, racket and team games including tennis, squash and football. Swimming is a good all round form of exercise which tones your entire body, it helps strengthen your heart, improves delivery of oxygen to the muscles and provides a good cardiovascular workout. Swimming is also a more relaxing form of exercise. Aerobics classes are provided by most leisure centres and provide a good all round work-out focusing on heart, lungs and other muslces. They also provide social benefits.
Aerobic exercise should be combined with anaerobic exercise.

Does your county rock?
@Metallica #CliffBurtonDay #metallica @AlamedaCounty
I've never been so proud of having been born and raised in Alameda County. Today is Cliff Burton Day in that part of the world. Cliff and I were actually born in the same hospital in Castro Valley.
As I've ranted before, Metallica should have called it quits when they lost Cliff. Everything they've done after Master of Puppets has been awful. Even with their early songs live, they haven't been able to reproduce the sound they had with Cliff.

Oil slump slams Precision Drilling rig-building plans
As the price of crude oil continues to plunge, Precision Drilling Corp. says it plans to idle rig-building activity once it has completed delivery of 16 previously announced rigs.
Calgary-based Precision also said on Monday its capital spending for 2015 will drop to $493-million from about $885-million in 2014.
Brent crude oil declined almost $2 (U.S.) a barrel on Monday to a new 5-year low as experts forecast that the oversupply situation will likely continue until next year in the wake of OPEC's decision not to cut output.
The dramatic fall in the price has resulted in retrenchment in the crude oil sector and reduced demand for equipment and infrastructure.
"While the current market is adjusting to recent rapid oil price declines, we remain intensely focused on cost management with a variable cost business model and balance sheet designed to address changing market conditions," Mr. Neveu said.
Precision's 2014 expansion capital plan includes the completion and deployment of 16 new-build drilling rigs and no additional rig deliveries, the company said.
There are 15 rigs destined for the U.S. in the first half of 2015 and one expected to be deployed in Kuwait late in the second quarter, Precision said.

The place has rare weapons of Guru Gobind Singh and other Sikh warriors.
The rare weapons of Sikh Guru Gobind Singh and other Sikh warriors preserved at "Nihang Chhavni" near gurdwara Shaheedan is a feast to the eyes.
The work of conserving these weapons was initiated by saint turned freedom fighter Maharaj Singh and is presently being looked after by his great grandson Gurpartap Singh Tikka.
The family has preserved many historic things, including 155-year-old hand-written book "Bir Mrigesh".
The book was written by Pandit Sher Singh and is a primary source of information about Sikh history. Written in Gurmukhi script, the book has more than 2,000 pages.
The book presents a first-hand record of intrigues, conspiracies, and murders after the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Besides, it deals with the birth of Sikh Raj in Punjab under Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
Talking to The Tribune, Tikka said, "Maharaj Singh was a descendant of Baba Bir Singh, a Sikh saint. After the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, people wanted him to become their ruler." Bir Singh believed in non-violence and during a battle between Lahore Darbar and his followers at Harike, Bir Singh directed his men not to fire. He and his followers preferred to lay down their lives instead of taking up arms, he added.

I could statistic you to death about how women are still underrepresented in science and engineering, but let me just give you this one about what dismal progress we're making: between 2000 and 2011, the proportion of science and engineering bachelor's degrees awarded to women remained flat. And worse, it actually declined in computer sciences, mathematics, physics, engineering, and economics.
We're losing ground, people! We need to do something about this. Well, we need to do a lot of things about this, but one thing that comes to mind is improving the way we represent women in science and engineering. And right now, there are two great crowdsourcing projects happening in this arena.
Amy Poehler's Smart Girls at the Party teamed up with PBS Digital Studios' It's Okay to Be Smart to launch the "Science Needs Women" project, asking fans to post videos about a woman in science who inspires them – dead, alive, your mom, anyone! They ask that you share your video with #sciencewoman and email your video link to email@example.com. The submission deadline is just one week away, Monday, March 2, so get your phone out and start talking to it about your favorite woman in science.
Now that we've covered a great way to bring attention to the real lives of women in science and engineering, what about fiction? What about science and engineering characters in TV and films? There is immense power in portraying women in these fields, giving countless women and girls a much needed fictional role model. This is the premise of the documentary Miss Representation.
In one interview with Geena Davis, she recounts how girls came up to her so often and said of her role in A League of Their Own, "I play sports because of that movie!"
Similarly, Lee Zlotoff who created the show MacGyver, starring an insanely resourceful secret agent, has said, "I literally could not tell you how many times people have come up to me and said, 'I became an engineer, or I went into the sciences because of MacGyver.'"
With that in mind, Zlotoff has partnered with the USC Viterbi School of Engineering* to launch The Next MacGyver, a contest to find the next great TV show about an engineer, but this time starring a woman. It could be about a prehistoric woman who invents small machines, a futuristic time-traveling badass, or a present day hero who helps the world's most impoverished communities. I don't know. I'm not a screenwriter. But if you are, you have until April 17 to submit the title, genre, pilot episode summary, main character description, and three sample episode storylines at the contest website.
And in the meantime, at least we have Nyota Uhura, Ellen Ripley, and Trinity.
*Full disclosure: I am currently employed by the USC Viterbi School of Engineering.


text: At LimmudPhilly I was delighted to offer several sessions. Just want to mention one in particular, a workshop on how to relate to the homeless people we encounter on any random day. We began with each person sharing a memory of such an encounter and what it was like for them. The candor and depth of the participants got us off to a great start as we deepened in the relevant mitzvot together - tamhui, kvod ha-briut and more. I taught a type of listening that validates a person who is down and out even if we can't totally transform their life and circumstances. Participants really appreciated the power of this method. Our creative practicing of the listening skill was then reinforced by telling my tale from Mitzvah Stories, "The God of Curried Fish." It's so moving giving a mitzvah workshop this way - I greatly look forward to taking it on the road! The Mitzvah Cards workshop I knew would likely fly beautifully, and it did. This one was a newly devised approach; love crafting new experiential teachings! Next engagement: Gems of Holiness Shabbaton at City Island Synagogue in honor of Rabbi Shohama Wiener!

Silent Planet - Everything Was Sound
Reviewed Before Release
Pre-order on iTunes or MerchNOW
Silent Planet was a band that I had heard very little about before the announcement of their second full length record Everything Was Sound besides them being on tour with Gideon about a year ago. Around December, Brian, Alex and I were at a show and saw Chris from Currents decked out in one of the bands sweatshirts and decided maybe they were good and we should look them up. Needless to say, Silent Planet has been one of my most played bands since, providing the same chills every time I listen to the band.
When the first single from the record titled "Panic Room" was released, I was blown away. Not only did it feel like the same amazing band I had fell in love with, it got better. Garrett Russell (lead/heavy vocals) has gotten progressively more brutal since The Night God Slept was released, especially noticeable on his lower-toned screams. He apparently got help from vocalists such as Ryan Kirby from Fit For a King to "channel his inner dragon," in his own words. Not only did Garrett and the band expand their range of tones, but they also tackled much darker concepts, making Everything Was Sound a completely new experience.
Immediately, you can feel the poetic metalcore you will only find in bands like Silent Planet from the first track, "Inherit The Earth." It provides a very mellow, soul-soothing, but crushing intro to the record making you feel very good about what is still to come for this band. "Psychescape," the second song and also the second single, features vocals from Spencer Chamberlain of the beloved Underoath that basically perfects the tone of the song. "Dying in Circles" is for sure one of the heavier hitters on the album, with a background ambiance that almost feels like something out of a Call of Duty zombies song, making it an unforgettable track.
"Understanding Love as Loss" is a much softer, more emotional tune, which is not to say that the entire album isn't packed with emotion and sincerity. I had originally heard a sample of this tune from a Twitter poll asking what single they should release next, although I believe "Orphan" won by a long shot. Regardless, "REDIVIDEЯ" is one of my favorite songs on the album due to the instrumental work that just really gives you a feel for what the band truly is all about: crushing, progressive vocals over some amazing riffs and a really undertoned bass and keyboard. It provides the right amount of tranquility while still giving you that full metalcore experience.
"Nervosa" features some of the best clean vocals Silent Planet have ever put out, next to "The Well," because of the presence of Cory Brandan (Norma Jean). Whatever Cory does, whether it's with NJ or his new side project Hundred Suns, his vocals are easily distinguished. "Orphan" is one of the most easily forgettable tracks on the record, and that's not even necessarily a bad thing so to say - it's just easily outdone by the rest of the songs, but you can never forget the chorus and the power of lyrics like, "When all we know is death, the world of orphan."
"No Place to Breathe," which is one of the final tracks on Everything Was Sound, has a prog metal feel to it. I found it one of the most enjoyable new surprises on the record, among a ton that I have not discussed. "First Father" also was a very pleasant counterpart to "First Mother (Lilith)" from The Night God Slept. I had absolutely no clue we needed a continuation until I actually listened to the track, and what mother doesn't want the father figure too, right? "Inhabit The Wound" closes the album perfectly, and I already cannot wait to play the absolute hell out of this record until we get something new in a year or two from the band.
One last word on the record: Silent Planet still maintain the most beautiful instrumental interlude tracks I've ever heard in my life. Tracks such as "Tout Comprendre" and "C'est Tout Pardonner" are among the most heart-wrenching things I've ever heard a metal band put out, almost topping Polyphia has ever put out (although I may be pushing it a bit).
If you're looking for a great new adventure or if you've been sleeping on Silent Planet, now is the time to hop on the train and get going. These guys are guaranteed to only get better, as proven with Everything Was Sound.

Study Questions
Describe when the analogy is given. Is this idea only in the narrator's mind at this point?
Think about and discuss the way the parents are described. Is this stereotypical or accurate? Why is it important to the story?
Analyze the scene when Manny and Nardo are picking peppers in the field. How does what happens there influence their lives at home?
"He didn't know how awful she felt about embarrassing him at the pool hall" (59).
"'You can't take my rifle . . . you can't take my rifle,' his voice sinking into a plea" (67). Discuss the significance of this scene, including Manny's mother's anger.
"Grandma used to keep her face pretty like a baby doll, dabbing cold cream on it every night. . . . Now her face was webbed with wrinkles, and her hair sworly white and frazzled" (81).
"How we never take responsibility. She said that's why we're so confused and screwed up. Only she didn't say 'confused' and 'screwed up,' but said 'neurotic' and another medical word I couldn't make out" (149). Describe and discuss the circumstances for this scene. Look closely at the narrator here. And what has just happened to Magda. Draw a connection between this epiphanic scene and the one when Manny recognizes Magda's "lover."
"I passed the glass door; and from the light of the outside lamp I saw the reflection of a ridiculous boy, a clumsy boy. It was me, looking at myself, except that it wasn't me, but someone ghostly and strange" (181).
"'Well, I suppose it's okay,' she said, finally. 'But don't come back later.' . . .like she know I'd do the right thing" (200).
"This room was what my mother spent so much energy cleaning and keeping together, and what my father spent so much energy tearing apart. And it was wondrous, like a place I was meant to be. A place, I felt, that I had come back to after a long journey of being away. My home" (215).

Flow Behavior of Kinked Strip Drainsby Christopher A. Lawrence, Drexel Univ, Philadelphia, PA, USA,
Robert M. Koerner, Drexel Univ, Philadelphia, PA, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Geosynthetics for Soil Improvement
Due to the often expressed concern over the axial deformation of strip drains and the resulting impact on flow rate, this study has been undertaken. A laboratory experiment has been constructed, evaluated, and standardized so that strip drain flow rates can be measured in a kinked, or crimped, condition and compared to flow rates in the as received condition. This device has been evaluated using a wide range of commercially available strip drains. In general, it is seen that all drains decrease in flow rate when severely kinked, but to widely varying degrees, i. e. , from 9% to 100%. (

Posted: 8:02 am Thursday, November 29th, 2018
By Jamie Dupree
After staying quiet about the investigation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller through much of the final two months of the 2018 mid-term campaign, President Donald Trump this week unleashed his wrath on the probe of Russian interference in the 2016 elections and any ties to his own presidential bid, again repeatedly complaining about the lack of investigations against Hillary Clinton.
"The Mueller Witch Hunt is a total disgrace," the President tweeted on Tuesday, as he labeled the former FBI Director a 'conflicted prosecutor gone rogue.'
Mr. Trump has also returned to a favorite theme – his complaint that the feds never properly investigated Hillary Clinton over her emails as Secretary of State, and conflicts of interest involving the Clinton Foundation, arguing that should be the focus – not any ties to Russia involving his campaign.
"Mueller and the Angry Democrats aren't even looking at the atrocious, and perhaps subversive, crimes that were committed by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats," the President tweeted. "A total disgrace!"
Did you ever see an investigation more in search of a crime? At the same time Mueller and the Angry Democrats aren't even looking at the atrocious, and perhaps subversive, crimes that were committed by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. A total disgrace!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 29, 2018
When will this illegal Joseph McCarthy style Witch Hunt, one that has shattered so many innocent lives, ever end-or will it just go on forever? After wasting more than $40,000,000 (is that possible?), it has proven only one thing-there was NO Collusion with Russia. So Ridiculous!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 29, 2018
The Mueller Witch Hunt is a total disgrace. They are looking at supposedly stolen Crooked Hillary Clinton Emails (even though they don't want to look at the DNC Server), but have no interest in the Emails that Hillary DELETED & acid washed AFTER getting a Congressional Subpoena!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 28, 2018
The President's Twitter mentions of Hillary Clinton this week were his first since a burst of attacks against Clinton in the month of August, at a time when the Russia investigation was also much on his mind.
The President mentioned Clinton by name on Twitter 28 times in the month of August – the most often since October of 2016 – just before he won election as President.
What was going on in August? The President's former campaign manager Paul Manafort was on trial, as he was ultimately found guilty on eight counts of tax and bank fraud.
After Labor Day on the way to the elections – the President went almost totally silent on Twitter about both the Mueller investigation and Clinton – until this week.
On Wednesday, the President re-tweeted a graphic calling for "trials for treason" against Mueller, Clinton, former President Obama and others – including current Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
Asked by the New York Post on Wednesday why he sent out that graphic including Rosenstein, the President made clear a familiar line of displeasure.
"He should have never picked a special counsel," Mr. Trump said in the newspaper's Oval Office interview.
Last week, the New York Times reported that the President wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute Clinton, along with former FBI Director James Comey, but that Mr. Trump's White Counsel refused to follow through, reportedly arguing it was an abuse of presidential powers.

Marriage Enrichment
The course is facilitated by Brian and Francoise Robertson.
It is based on the Alpha Marriage course designed by Nicky and Sila Lee:
"The marriage relationship is designed by God to be an adventure of love that lasts a lifetime, but marriage is under attack in our society. Many feel it is an outdated institution, and the number of marriages per year is falling in many countries. Those who do get married find it increasingly difficult to stay married. There has been an alarming rise in the divorce rate. What is the answer to all this? Why should we get married? How can we stay married?
In the Alpha Marriage course, Nicky and Sila Lee answer these questions, showing us the value and potential of any marriage. They suggest how we can not only stay married, but also make the most of our married lives together" (Excerpt from The Marriage Book, by Nicky and Sila Lee, Alpha International Publications, London 2002)
The Marriage Course is very practical, giving any married couple the tools to build a strong and healthy marriage that lasts a lifetime.
Over seven evenings partners talk to each other about important issues that can get swept under the carpet in the rush of daily life.
Privacy as a couple is always respected. There is no group discussion and no requirement to disclose anything about your relationship to anyone else.
Who Is It For?
The programme (both events) is open to couples from deanery parishes, as well as from the community. We are hoping that many couples attending the dinner will decide to participate in the marriage course.
- Those who want to enhance their marriage
- Those in the first five years of marriage
- Those at a challenging stage in their marriage, e.g. the birth of a child, a career change, teenagers, the empty nest
- Those struggling with issues in their marriage
What Is The Cost?
The cost is approx R850 per couple for the whole course, of which approx R250 must be paid in the first session. This includes 2 manuals, and dinner and refreshments each evening
Topics For The Seven Evenings
- Building Strong Foundations
- The Art of Communication
- Resolving Conflict
- The Power of Forgiveness
- Parents and In-Laws
- Good Sex
- Love in Action
About Francoise and Brian Robertson
We have 3 married daughters and 6 grandchildren all living in Cape Town. We have been part of the Constantia Parish from its beginning, in the early 70s, and have both served on the Parish council.
I, Francoise (Fran), taught Catechism from home to our children, together with children from the Parish, for many years. Brian and I ran a weekly youth group together for 4 years, with about 15 to 20 youths, which included weekends away with the group.
We were asked by Catholic Welfare Development to put together a course for Carers for the Archdiocese, and we ran this course in most parishes over the years. Later, I started a parish Care Group, which meets once a month, and deals with caring in the parish. I am a Registered Nurse, and later trained as a marriage Counselor with Famsa. Over the years, with Fr David, one of our past priests, I prepared couples in our Parish for marriage.
I, Brian, am a psychiatrist, my primary area of work being with children and adolescents. Sixteen years ago Fran and I started the Friends of Valkenberg Hospital, which Fran still runs. Now retired from full-time university practice, I am involved with a number of community projects, as well as doing regular work overseas in Ireland and St Helena.
Marriage Enrichment Courses at Constantia
In May and June 2008 the first Marriage Enrichment course was organised by Brian and Francoise Robertson. Six couples attended from the parish.
Brian and Fran ran a second Marriage Enrichment course, starting in September 2009. This was a joint venture with St Michael's parish in Rondebosch. Seven couples attended, three of them coming from St Michael's parish. Two of the St Michael's couples attended the course with a view to leading courses in their own parish.
Run under auspices of Alpha South Africa, the progamme this year consisted of two separate events: The campaign kicked off with a Valentine's Dinner on Friday, 11 February at Schoenstatt Training Centre. 54 people attended this event. It was followed by an Alpha Marriage Enrichment Course at the Centre. Fifteen couples, half of whom are from our parish, completed the seven-week course from 15 February to 29 March. Feedback from participants was very positive.
In grateful appreciation: Brian and Francoise wish to thank Rene Esson and her 'army' of volunteers for their regular attendance and wonderful spirit of service. Thanks also to several generous donors, in particular, Fr Andrew, one of our past priests.

Lavender Bear - a recycled birthday card
I'm late signing in tonight. I hope you've all had a lovely day and your weekend has begun well.
It's been a busy old day here, lots done but just one card to share.
I needed a quick card again for a friend's birthday this weekend so I dipped into the overflowing box of toppers I now have - the result of the recent stash sort out. This box is proving to be a real blessing at times like these.
The topper is a trimmed down birthday card I received last year ... I thought it was just too pretty to toss. I swiped lavender ink over the already embossed card ... I have a box of that too ... and inked all the raw edges of the card and paper. The little punched butterfly is decorated with glitter glue. A few amethyst coloured gems and the purple ribbon are the only other embellishments.
Inside is decorated with leftover strips of the patterned paper and a peel-off greeting - I have a strip of these which I just need to use up!
Materials used:
Square white deckle-edged card;
A sheet of Papermania Heather Capsule Collection paper pack;
A piece of embossed card trimmed to size and inked with Tim Holtz's Milled Lavender Ink;
The topper;
Embellishments: Anita's gems, amethyst; purple satin ribbon; butterfly punch; crystal Stickles; peel-off greeting for inside
That's me done for today ... it's getting past my bedtime.
I hope you all have a lovely Saturday planned.
Happy Crafting,
