Video Introduction
Our Freestyle Kickboxing development program will see your child experience safe weapons training (Nunchaku and Bo Staff), self-defense and stranger danger skills. Including board breaking, our program is the most versatile and exciting martial arts curriculum. Our aim is the make your child the best they can be at anything they put their minds to, and to be able to make confident choices within their lives and to be able to believe in themselves.
The program also looks to encourage involvement from you as parents/guardians (don't worry this isn't time consuming on your part) as we feel this is incredibly important and supportive to your child's development and success. At Pyramid Martial Arts we teach children how to become better individuals and have fun learning new skills, and while some parents and teachers may think martial arts may lead to injuries, studies have shown that martial arts is safer than nearly any other physical activity, including football; this is because we are teaching children the skills they need to avoid injuries.
We highly emphasize to children the importance of conflict avoidance through self-control, self-discipline and improving self-confidence. Our classes are taught in a fun and motivating way, as studies have shown that having fun is the best way for children to learn and retain information.
The most important lesson that children can learn from us is respect, for themselves, their peers and other children and at the end of their journey we know that your child will be a more confident, self- motivating and assertive young person.

As you probably know, the Revenue Commissioners require mandatory filing of iXBRL Financial Statements for Corporation Tax payers over a staged period.
Phase 1 – This first phase which was applicable for Corporation Tax Returns submitted on or after 1 October 2013 only applied to Large Cases Division (LCD) within the Revenue Commissioners.
Phase 2 – We are now in phase 2 and this applies to Corporation Tax returns submitted on or after 01/10/2014 in respect of accounting periods ended on or after 31/12/2013.
Revenue have now defined the meaning of Balance Sheet value from 'total net assets' to 'aggregate of assets without deduction of liabilities'. The transition for the above definition is applied as follows:
? Corporation tax returns filed to date based on the 'total net assets' test, do not have to make any changes.
? For the current period up to 31/10/2015, either the 'total net assets' test or the 'aggregate of assets without deduction of liabilities' test may be used.
? However, from 1/11/2015, the 'aggregate of assets without deduction of liabilities' test must be used [€4.4m].
Phase 3 – This will apply to all remaining Corporation Tax payers and it is expected that this will be commenced by Revenue in 2015.
Note that any companies not yet subject to compulsory iXBRL filing are encouraged by Revenue to do so on an optional basis in order to ensure that they are fully prepared for mandatory filing.

|Issues created by construction information differentiation: an Australian case study
Authors: Kanjanabootra, Sittimont; Vo-Tran, Huan
Abstract: Information is one of the vital assets required for operational effectiveness in construction organizations and construction projects. If information is utilized effectively in the construction process, it will facilitate users to plan, operate, and make decisions to maximize benefits. This paper reports the information management practices amongst stakeholders during the inspection stage in a building construction project for an Australian urban-based university. The study explores how specific information was generated, recorded, disseminated, used and stored during the inspection stage of a complex construction process differentially through the roles of architects and builders and how IT played a key role in resolving contested use of construction information. Data was collected through document analysis, shadowing, observations, photography, and one-on-one interviews with builders and architects involved directly in the inspection of the building. The research shows that information was generated, stored and reused through both personal and enterprise information management practices using different IT systems; that stakeholder's tacit knowledge played an important role affecting how the information was generated, stored and reused; and that the complexity of information and dynamic nature of procurement method used in this project had an impact on how information was utilized during the inspection process.
|Transforming strategy: analytical information systems and the resolution of strategic business issues - a case study
Authors: Kanjanabootra, Sittimont; Corbitt, Brian; Nicholls, Miles
Abstract: Building on arguments by Nolan (2012) and Ward (2012) about the need for impact studies of strategic information systems and a better understanding of the transformative effects of information systems on strategy, this paper focuses on providing a method to transform strategy in businesses using information systems as the base. This paper demonstrates the impact and value of using an information system to assist a manufacturing company address identified strategic issues of improving the speed of product development and, through getting new products to market more efficiently, improving the company's competitive position in the marketplace. The paper shows the transformative strategic value of applying heuristics to business processes captured in information systems in a manufacturing company. The manufacturing company was losing market share through not being able to get its new products to market quickly enough. As a result, the company was not reaching its intended business targets. The researchers collected the specific business process information and knowledge in the company and developed an information and knowledge management system. A heuristic was then applied to the manufacturing process to determine better models of product development and manufacturing that would enable faster to market product development and thus enable better strategic alignment between company expectations and realisation of market share, transforming the business strategy of the company. The paper demonstrates the value and impact of strategic use of information systems as a means of directly solving business problems through information analysis.
|Exploring building information modelling (BIM) to game engine conversion
Authors: Bille, Ross; Smith, Shamus P.; Maund, Kim; Brewer, Graham
Abstract: The use of detailed building plans and models is common in the architecture domain. Also there is increasing interest in the reuse of such models to realise 3D interactive virtual environments to aid model refinement and for use as training environments, for example virtual site visits. Unfortunately, the development of interactive virtual environments is both time consuming and technically difficult. One successful approach is the reuse of gaming technology to provide the underlying virtual environment and to allow developers to focus on importing appropriate content, e.g. building geometry and textures. Building Information Modelling (BIM) provides a rich source of building data and is an ideal basis for constructing realistic virtual environments. This paper overviews virtual environment development issues and outlines conversion pipelines from BIM to virtual environment via game engines from the current literature. Also the conversion from BIM tool Revit to the Unity3D game engine is explored in a case study. A summary of conversion pipelines is presented and a number of challenges for future work identified.
|An evaluation of some simple measures for detecting non-linear relationships between variables
Authors: Cornforth, D.
Abstract: Since the introduction of simple measures of linear relationship such as Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, measures have been sought that will also describe non-linear relationships that may exist between a pair of variables. Currently there are a number of such methods, encompassing a range of sophistication and involving a range of computational effort. This work reports on some experiments with a computationally simple measure that operates using a division of input space into regularly spaced cells. The Distribution Area Ratio Correlation Coefficient (DARCC) compares the distribution of cells containing k points with a theoretical distribution. The method is described then evaluated by comparing the resulting correlation coefficient with the magnitude of added noise. Results show a good agreement between noise and DARCC for several synthesised datasets. The measure is also evaluated on some real datasets. DARCC is computationally very simple and has potential for datasets with a large number of variables where speed is important.
|Augmented Reality challenges for cultural heritage
Authors: Rigby, Jacob; Smith, Shamus P.
Abstract: Augmented Reality (AR) technology can provide a novel and interesting approach for presenting cultural heritage content to the general public. Recent advances in AR research and the quick uptake of powerful mobile devices now means AR systems are a viable option for heritage institutions, but there are still many challenges that must be overcome before high-quality AR experiences are commonplace. This paper examines published attempts at bringing AR systems to the heritage sector, and highlights and discusses the ongoing trends and challenges that are faced in this area.
|A practical task-based approach to access control configurations
Authors: Athauda, Rukshan I.; Ahn, Euijoon
Abstract: Configuring optimal access control is a difficult task in today's complex IT environments. Too restrictive access control leads to frustration by users, while excessive privileges leads to vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, the problem of verifying safety - i.e. no rights can be leaked to an unauthorised principal - for an arbitrary configuration of a general access model is shown to be undecidable. In this paper, a practical methodology and framework is proposed to elicit access control rights stealthily while users perform tasks in a test environment that mimic a real-production environment. To illustrate the feasibility of the framework, a prototype is implemented and presented.
|Simplicity: a design pattern for ideas
Authors: Nesbitt, Keith
Abstract: Nature is composed of many complex systems. No system is more complex than the nature that governs the creation of ideas. Yet how many patterns are needed to model such complexity? The search for common patterns that govern the nature of complex systems is a fundamental goal of both science and art. New ideas may provide solutions to such problems but then the question arises as to how ideas are created, and whether they might be created in the same form? Creating ideas is in essence a design problem. Problems require solutions and ideas are designed to provide them. One way to solve common design problems is to adopt, or adapt, a solution that has been useful in the past. Design patterns are intended as a more formal way of capturing these good designs, or design practices, so they can be reused. Although patterns were first introduced in the realm of Architecture they were quickly adopted by the Software Engineering community. In this paper, the use of patterns is adapted to the more general realm of idea generation. In particular this paper introduces a specific design pattern call Simplicity that is intended to help with the practical exploration of a dynamic design space that is complete and allows for both inconsistent states and yet overall consistency. Simplicity is a pattern that reframes a number of well-known concepts such as complimentary dualities, recursion, self-similarity and symmetry to try and provide an alternative understanding of the way ideas are created and contextualised. This paper, as it stands is incomplete, requiring much further mathematical formalisation to take it beyond the current pattern definition. Despite this shortfall, it is hoped that the current description may provide a useful step in the search for fundamental patterns that allow for unification of ideas across disciplines, a notion that has been termed Consilience.

It is published here as a working paper so that other researchers can use the classification system and reference it.
|Adapting game interfaces to measure neck movements in a clinical physiotherapy application
Authors: Nesbitt, Keith; Snodgrass, Suzanne; Tilbrook, Mitchell
Abstract: Natural user interfaces rely on commonly used human skills, such as movement, gestures and speech to control computers. Arguably the most widespread use of these interfaces has been through computer game peripherals such as the EyeToy, Wii and Kinect. However, since the release of the Kinect much work has also been directed at more serious applications of this technology. In this paper we present a usability study applying computer game technology in the domain of physiotherapy. The eventual aim of our work is to develop a cost-effective, clinician-friendly tool for quantifying the dysfunctional movements associated with neck pain. There is a significant health cost associated with neck pain and up to 50% of adults experience problems related to this in any 12 month period. Furthermore, the movements of the neck are complex and difficult to quantify accurately using existing clinical devices. While existing research tools, such as the Vicon allow for automated tracking of body movements, these technologies are prohibitively expensive for use in everyday situations. Therefore we decided to trial cheap, off-the-shelf, game technology, to determine if this technology could accurately measure a range of head movements. We compared the Kinect skeletal tracking functions and the TrackIR passive infrared tracking against CROM measures typically used in clinical settings. Both technologies were reasonably accurate in tracking some movements. However neither solution was able to capture the full range of head movements required in a physiotherapy application. As a result some further adaption and development of the software using these devices is indicated.

New gas installation standard effective from 31 March 2014
Tuesday, 1 April 2014
A new standard for gas installations took effect in Victoria on 31 March 2014. Gasfitting work in Victoria is now required to comply with the new standard. The new standard comes in two parts, each of which is a standard in its own right:
- AS/NZS 5601.1:2013 Gas Installations – Part 1: General Installations
- AS/NZS 5601.2:2013 Gas Installations – LP Gas Installations in caravans and boats for non-propulsive purposes
This follows the passing of the Gas Safety (Gas Installation) Amendment Regulations 2014. The new standard, which replaces the older AS 5601: 2004 Gas Installations, was published by Standards Australia in September 2013.
Many plumbers and gasfitters took part in a series of information sessions (organised by Energy Safe Victoria and the VBA) earlier this year, to learn about the new standard. A copy of the presentation, along with more details about the standard, is available on the Energy Safe Victoria website.

Kitchen Floor Demo Ahhhhhh!!!
Now I think I understand why they just kept layering it on instead of ripping it up!
Granted if we would have done that, there would have been like a 5-inch difference between the floors in the kitchen and the floors in the dining room lol :) Tell me its worth it!
Definitely feeling the stress right now like I never have before in this project! :( Usually I'm one to enjoy the journey but right now I just want this to be OVER! Any words of comfort, motivation, and patience you can give would be much appreciated right now!

Wow, five layers! Good luck! I'm so excited to see how the kitchen is progressing. :)ReplyDelete
oh absolutely you are doing the right thing...and planning on being in this house a LONG time...you will be proud that you did...it is going to be gorgeous..and you are restoring the house to what it wants.....one tile at a time and it will be done...and just think..you wouldn't want to be doing this with little feet in the way!ReplyDelete
bless you Sara
I just found your blog via pinterest. What a lovely home you have!! We just bought an 1834 farmhouse and, like you all, we have spent the last 2 months bustin our humps!! It is hard, draining, bring you to your breaking point, work.ReplyDelete
In the midst of all the reno we've had our fridge leak and ruin our beautifully finished original farmhouse floors, mice die in our walls, and our new little kittens infest our completely renovated house with fleas!!! So....just think......in the midst of all your dust of reno.....it could always be worse......you could have the smell of death from mice in your walls and fleas biting you while you sleep.....lol!!!
Looking forward to your after photos!!! Hang in there!!!!!
My only advice is to try and create one room that is untouched by the renovation. When we did our kitchen it was our master bedroom. I tried to keep it clutter free and it was always a place to retreat to during the chaos. I just recently found your blog love all that you've done to your home.ReplyDelete
Hang in there!
