The capital of Perù has a lot more to offer than just being a stopover on the way to Machu Picchu: Where to get the best Pisco Sour, commiting a real sin and enjoying one of the most creative dishes worldwide.
Miraflores, probably the most well known district in Lima when it comes to finding extraordinary tastes and flavours, is home to various, great restaurants one should definitely go to when travelling to magical Perù. Find a small selection of my favourites in the following (table reservation necessary!).
Graving for some special and simply delicious seafood dishes? In “los Pe(s)cados Capitales”, which means “Deadly Sins”(it’s embedded in a nice wordplay with “pescado” = fish), you can choose from a variety of different dishes/sins, such as “Envy”, “Greed” or “Impatience”.
You can’t leave Lima without having tried a genuine, peruvian Pisco Sour and some Ceviche (which somehow became the new “seaweed salat” of appetizers, known far beyond Peru’s borders). Being well established and known as “a classic” in the gourmet capital, “La Mar” is always the right choice.

Now that the alliance is made, I want to thank all of you guys who didn't hesitate to join our forums. I can feel 10th of march is a day that I will remember, because after learning from others' mistakes and careful planning, our alliance was made.
The main thing why we all need this kind of alliance is because it would bring us the best feel of community in a game where people started to forget it.
The person I would like to thank the most is EsTygo, the leader of Revolution. Seriously, if I hadn't joined Revolution for a short period, I wouldn't have met such a good leader. His point of view was so pure, that I wanted nothing else but my main guild (Serenity) to join Unity, the alliance Revolution was in back then. He inspired me so much, that I started to understand the true values of Dofus. After Unity's fall, we've been working hard towards the development of alliance and I can easily say that my guild would just belong to a mediocre alliance that might have a lot of prisms, scammers and mad kids right now if Esty didn't change my point of view that much. I started not to care about those things majority of Dofus players overly care about. There might be more people like Esty and I wish all the people like him joined our alliance. You just can't ignore his devotion. He works a lot for us to feel comfortable in the alliance and to also have the best allies in Rushu, not necessarily PvP-wise.
And I thank all of you who are reading this message and agree on things I wanted to mention.
Also I'd like to thank my awesome guild Serenity for letting a simple level 158 member work for the guild's success and believing in me.
Nice post, but I think you're forgetting one more important person! I would say a lot of people owe some thanks to you as well Omelette! A big thanks to all the people involved in the creation of Convergence.
Thanks for the attention, Omelette. You are no less to thank in all of this, and surely the single person who spent time in preparing and negotiating with leaders the most and got them excited about the idea of this new alliance. Thanks to you for helping to create what i believe will be the most joyful and warm alliance of Rushu!
While i hope nobody is annoyed by the highlighting of eachother in this thread, and i'm sure we deserve a little gratitude, i'd like to take the opportunity here to say something about the ideas behind the alliance.
I'll tell you a story about how i got myself into this point and all these thoughts about the alliance.
I started out my first char, a chance osa, EsTygo in 2005, but i won't talk about everything that's happened since. In my years on Dofus ive experienced alot of guilds and alot of different leadership. Already in my early days i experienced some bad leadership in several guilds and its conequences. In my first guild, while the leader was on vacation he appointed a temporary leader. The new leader was a clueless emotional teenager, and after 2 days she kicked out everyone from the guild cause she felt like it. The guild ended with a bang.
A month later i ran into some friendly guys and got invited to their freshly started guild. It was called The Empire and was the first guild i was really happy in, and a guild in fact all of its members liked. We enjoyed eachothers company on /g and soon became a group of friends. It appeared that somehow we had something special there that was hard to explain in words. Maybe it was just the connection, eventho we were all different, different ages, genders, cultural background etc. Or perhaps it was several things that fell into place that created the right setting. The leader was a nice guy, but also rather passive as leader. Then one day some members left the guild, then a few more left cause of those others who left. Then the guild became more inactive and more people left in a downward spiral. It was very sad to see, and while i didn't want to tell others what to do, someone had to step up since the leader was doing nothing. I wanted to save what was left of the guild, and started negotiations. As a result, some days later we succesfully merged The Empire into Shinra. However i was left feeling a bit disappointed that nobody else was there to try to keep the group of ppl together, when the group we had grown attached to started shattering apart. Because of this i decided to put my main char in a different guild than Shinra, where i left my alt.
My swedish friend Youbutsu had just recreated a guild that died in 2005, called The Gobball Hunters. This guild was very different in feeling from The Empire, and that connection between the people was not the same, still we had alot of good times. A while later Youbutsu decided to make me his officer (SiC) and help lead the guild. The guild was a success and soon became a big and famous guild. Several months passed, and one day Youbutsu came to me and told me that he is feeling uneasy about the guild. He felt that in the process of developing and growing the guild something important got lost. He said he was missing that feeling we had before in the guild, from the early days. He didn't want to be the leader of a big powerful guild anymore but started dreaming of a small guild with just good friends who know eachother. I told him i know exactly what he means and i can understand, but that he should at least continue with the old guild cause it had a high level, and just change it a bit and create that feeling that both of us appreciated by only accepting people who talk and want to get to know eachother. He had made up his mind however, and the new guild which was not going to grow but just be a small guild of close friends was created by the name Blank. Not what you would have expected, huh? As you would imagine, it took maybe a month and we were the same as before, and most of the old GH people were now in Blank while it was expanding rapidly. Youb was great with the social side, but then again he was not the best leader in all of the qualities that make a good leader. At one point we had a SiC who was paranoid and always thought ppl were against him or picking a fight with him, and he was kicking ppl left and right. One of the many experiences i collected along the way from failed leadership.
Many things happened, and a few years later we decided to restart Revolution that Luciferz had closed down a year earlier when he was quitting. It was not difficult to find people who had some good memories of the guild or who were excited to be part of the old guild once more. I didn't want to be a SiC again, cause i enjoyed playing the game a bit differently from most and spent alot of time doing research, writing notes and planning strategies and i thought i wouldn't have the time. But then one day the leader (Ekoh) really needed help running the guild and wanted me as SiC and so i gave in.
It was already around the time when Revolution was reborn in 2008 that i was talking about the importance of a good leadership with the leader, and had some cool ideas on how to develop the guild. I called it the guild 2.0 project (since there was much hype about a future Dofus 2.0). I wrote down alot of ideas on how to offer alot of different positions to the members of the guild so that everyone could be part of building the guild together and share the responsibility, not just the leaders. I hoped it would also increase participation, interaction between people and strengthen the feeling for members that it was their own guild, and not just an exclusive club owned by the leaders. These plans were never fully implemented eventho i got some positive feedback for them.
As you might expect, time went by until one day came the day when the leader decided to quit Dofus. The guild was falling apart and it was unsure if there was any future for the guild left. The first leader and creator of Revolution, Luciferz still logged occasionally, and i talked with him in hope that he would lead the guild again. He told me he couldn't, and the only person he felt he could trust the leadership with was me or the guild was finished. I appreciated his trust alot, and so i became a guild leader myself for the first time. The past of Revolution has seen many occasions when the guild had been dead or nearly dead, also during some of my own breaks from the game. But that's a different story. Last summer the guild was doing good again and with the help of SiCs we were building the kind of guild we wanted Revo to be. Alliances happened, and suddenly i was not just planning Revolution but discussing with a bunch of leaders what to do with our alliance in the Link council. I was one of the most active council members, and i think many council members would remember me not just for writing lengthy texts but for always trying to push the alliance forward and trying to solve the problems the alliance was running into, and which were causing the alliance leadership to choke up so to speak. Unfortunately the system of decision making was failing hard, and many lost interest to really do anythign about it while some others were trying to convince eachother that they should be the leaders alone to set things right in the alliance. I put alot of time and effort and thought into the organization of the alliance then, and would not have written the plans we have now if i hadn't gone through alot of different difficult situations related to the alliance.
So today in what i intend, and have tried to bring out in our new alliance has traces of everything from the past, and a mix of it all. The best experiences i've had in this game, the best guilds, friendships and allies, the many failures i have seen in bad leadership or poor organization, the many difficult social situations created in a community, the attitudes, values and connections that strengthen us, many problems that required some solution, and many thoughts and ideas on how to really bring out the best of the community and aim at something better, and building it all up and beyond those best communities i have seen and experienced.
I wanted to tell this story as a path to the thoughts that i have been talking about for a long time and were used in creating this alliance. My point here is also not that i want to hear that im smart, but that the thoughts that have so far been put into planning this alliance did not happen overnight and i do think we have a good chance to turn the many thoughts and ideas into a great alliance. Theres no certainty of it at this point however, even if the start has been better than i would have hoped for. Much will depend on the intensity at which members and leaders can and will participate into creating this for eachother. While i am hoping that many things go roughly according to plan, what i really hope for most of all is that we can all work together on a goal that we can share with eachother and enjoy eachothers company while doing it.
Thanks for reading the story, and i hope it was inspiring in some way to to you, and gave you some idea why i am doing all of this and also some idea why other guild leaders see the same things as i do that have made this alliance possible.

I made this album from scratch to give Hanson during my meet and greet in 2007. I had pages from some of the meet and greeters and some of my newsclippings from when MMMBop was released back in 1997. The theme of the album was “ten” as it was 10 years since MMMBop and Middle of Nowhere was released.
went down the queue outside the venue and had fans sign it.
A 12×6 album I made about the 2007 concert. These are just a few of the pages. I used left over supplies from the album I made the guys.
Again, using left over supplies from the album I made for the guys, I made this double layout for one of my regular scrapbooks about the Meet and Greet. The left page shows the picture of us and the guys, and the right page features my M&G pass, miniature version of the album I made for Hanson using scans I made of it (minus the fans signatures in the back), and I mounted the flier of the UK tour on hinges which I put a pocket containing my ticket and M&G e-mail and my account of the whole experience behind it.
Made using the free digital kit download, I went to my local scrapbook store with a print of the patterned paper to compare it to the cardstock being sold so I could buy the closest colours to the kit. I used my craft robo to cut the Hanson logo 2010 for the cover (thank you Hansonish.com!) I also used my Hanson journalling blocks, American crafts thickers (on “Zac” and “Meiko”) and Making Memories letter stickers (on “Taylor”) to add the finishing touches to the pages 🙂 The whole book is stitch bound with wax thread.

A small business client held freehold commercial property in his own name. His business occupied one of the factories and the others were tenanted by third parties. In July 2008 when the changes in the SIS Act were released we recognised him as a taxpayer that would benefit from the SIS Act changes. As soon as products were released from the banks we set the client up in an Instalment Warrant Arrangement.
Their existing SMSF did not have the funds for the full deposit required by the bank. We borrowed the maximum LVR from the financial institution and the balance of the property was treated as an in-specie contribution into the fund.
Allowed the client to payout the loan within the SMSF in 27 months.
Repaying the loan via the SMSF means the capital components are tax deductible, as concessional superannuation contributions into the fund.
The rental income received by the SMSF is tax free as they are over 55 years old and meet their pension requirements.
Rental income paid by the individual taxpayer provides a tax deduction at their marginal rate, while at the same time the rental income received becomes tax free within the superfund.
This restructure has produced terrific long term results that both our clients and our firm are extremely satisfied with. It has enabled our clients to successfully build their superannuation balance, even though there have been strict restrictions on the amount of concessional superannuation contributions they can make. It also has the advantage of protecting their property as it is held by the superfund, ensuring that they will receive tax free rental income both now and in their retirement.
A client in the building industry was placed in a situation whereby claims for additional costs were denied by the principal contractor. The principal contractor became insolvent leaving our client with a serious cash flow problem. To exacerbate the problem the bank subsequently commenced foreclosure proceedings on our client.
Spending time onsite, preparing cash flow projections, analysis, and budgets we were able to identify the internal control issues and assist our client in implementing tighter internal controls and procedures. In addition, we applied to other financial institutions in order to refinance their debt. All creditors were subsequently contacted and payment arrangements were put in place.
Continuous communication with the banks and creditors involved, coupled with the implementation of tighter internal controls and procedures has enabled our client to regain their position as one of the most successful companies trading within their industry on the central coast.
Player Hall was an integral component to this company's success and we are proud to continue to assist them in growing their business. To this day Player Hall continues to visit onsite in order to monitor the internal control procedures are still effective, and ensure the ratios are in line with the industry benchmarks.

Given the debate over the meaning of the wavefunction, an examination of the original motivations of the Schrodinger equation is of plausible relevance — and arguably of reasonable significance. This short essay notes that two key components of Schrodinger’s 1926 papers rely crucially on epistemic concepts from classical physics. (In other words, classical physics concepts that are ill-defined from an omniscient viewpoint, but are only useful/meaningful from the perspective of an agent with limited information.) This would seem to bolster the “\psi-epistemic” view of treating the wavefunction as a state of knowledge instead of a description of reality.
Schrodinger’s original presentation of his time-dependent equation bestows a crucially important role to Hamilton’s Principal Function, W (as do many other subsequent arguments that start with the Hamilton-Jacobi equation). But even though W is often simply called “the action”, it is *not* the (ontological) action, but instead a summary of many possible but flatly-incompatible classical histories. W might be useful as a state of knowledge, but it would be very strange to build an ontology out of it.
One of the strange aspects of W has been discussed at length, here and elsewhere: the fact that W lives in configuration space rather than spacetime, at least for more than one particle. But it is generally not been noted that an ontic-W would much stranger than the mere space that it resides in. Even for single-particles it is essentially an epistemic tool, and this is clearly the case in the classical domain in which W originated. This certainly doesn’t prove that the wavefunction must be epistemic as well, but it adds to the many excellent arguments in that regard (Spekkens, Fuchs, etc.). It also cautions one against drawing on the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation for addressing foundational questions at the deepest level.
Obviously, this paper is quite short; had I had more time to work on it I might have pointed out one more curious feature about W: Even though a classical W quickly devolves into epistemic uncertainty as time progresses, it can easily be made to start out ontically, by choosing a reference point in spacetime where a particle has been measured to actually exist. Here, then, is an example of a classical structure that naturally evolves from being “ontic” at preparation to being “epistemic” at measurement. (It is at measurement where the best arguments for the psi-epistemic viewpoint reside.) As a final note; the PBR theorem examines the status of the wavefunction at *preparation*, and determines it is ontic. And yet few people have examined models in which the wavefunction makes an ontic-to-epistemic transition (where the probability overlap between states grows with time). Hamilton’s Principal Function is then a proof-of-principle that such cases deserve consideration, especially considering that W was the original motivation for \psi.
I’m trying to understand your new point about the ontic to epistemic transition.
In the classical case, is W ontic because measuring a particle at xsub0, tsub0 uniquely specifies W at all x,t (making it look like a physical field)?
If so, how does it become epistemic? Is that because the initial velocity was not specified/measured, so at a later time tsub1, no xsub1 is singled out to give a unique time, position pair to take the place of xsub0, tsub0 in specifying the new W(x,t)?
Thanks for the question… and yes, that’s essentially correct.
At a big-picture level, looking at the whole history of W(x,t) vs. some particular classical particle trajectory, I would say that W is epistemic in the only ways that really matter: many different W’s are compatible with the same actual classical trajectory (depending on the reference point), just about any ontic trajectory is compatible with the same W, and upon learning more details about the actual trajectory, one can update W.
But then, at future times, before a second measurement is made, the possible locations explode; you can’t determine W by looking at the actual particle position (at that later time only), and you certainly can’t determine the actual particle position from W. And if you did gain new information, you might choose to update your W to a new reference point.
As you can tell, I don’t think slicing up the history into instants and using the standard epistemic/ontic definition is particularly useful. In fact, in might even be misleading, in that it has steered people away from the important point that “ontic” at preparation may still be essentially epistemic in all the ways that really matter — at least when it comes to \psi.
I don’t understand this comment. PBR employs prepare-and-measure experiments, but the lambda could refer to the ontic state of the system at any point between the preparation and measurement. I do not see why it is necessarily at preparation.
But on your main argument, it seems to me that W(x,t) is encoding information about the laws of physics, i.e. about what the trajectory would have been if the initial conditions were different. I think this makes it nomological in the sense of Valia’s talk, rather than epistemic. I would normally think of the laws of physics as ontological in the sense appropriate for things like the PBR theorem.
More generally, I am not sure if making a historical argument is the best tack to take in defending psi-epistemicism. Schroedinger was obviously conflicted on the issue for some time, given that he also tried to get a pure wave formulation of quantum theory without the Born rule to work for some time. If the many-worlders had made the argument that psi has to be real because early quantum theorists like Schroedinger intended it to be real then it would certianly be worth pointing out that this is not necessarily true. However, I think the argument they actually make is: the structure of quantum theory as it now exists should be our guide for determining what is real. Since that structure includes the wavefunction, the most straightforward explanation for the success of quantum theory is to posit that the wavefunction is real and go from there. Although I don’t think this is a great argument, it seems to be independent from the historical developmemnt of the theory.
This is an intriguing paper. It proposes some interesting novel ideas.
I have two general concerns. One is that the similarity between two math equations seems not to ensure these two equations have the same physical interpretation, as in the case of Nelson’s stochastic mechanics. The other is that Schrodinger’s original derivation of his equation is only a heuristic derivation. So, it seems debatable to draw fundamental physical implications from the derivation.
On the status of W(x,t), I don’t really see a meaningful distinction between those two options; the important aspects of “epistemic” that I’m interested in are outlined in my response to Richard above. (I agree that W is a summary of many possibilities, but even so, one would never treat the phase-fronts of W as a real wave…?) Maybe it would seem more “epistemic” by your lights if you considered realistic non-classical trajectories, as outlined on the top of page 2. In that case, W would only summarize our best guess of the trajectory, assuming we didn’t know how the actual trajectory would deviate from classical physics.
Thanks for your kind words; and I certainly agree with both of your points.
I happen to think that having two wildly different interpretations of the mathematics of configuration space in particular (stat mech vs Everettian QM) is quite unlikely, but sure, it’s certainly possible. I’m one of those few realists who think we can force multiparticle QM back into ordinary spacetime (via retrocausality, see ref. ), so I happen to like the stat-mech-style account. I actually quite like classical fields, so I’m not *as* opposed to entities like W(x,t) as it might appear, but I would like there to be more focus on *relativistic* classical fields, not the W-like fields that obey Hamilton-Jacobi-style equations.
As for the fact that the motivation was only heuristic, I agree that that makes my point even weaker, but I hope the point remains that Schrodinger was still appropriating *concepts* from the non-ontic sector of classical physics.
I’m also one of those (few?) realists who think we can force multiparticle QM back into ordinary spacetime (via random discontinuous motion of particles, in my case).

What made you a music director? As a Bengali with an MBBS degree, did you never feel the pressure to pursue a medical career?
There is always pressure on you while taking risks. Opposition from family and society is natural. I guess that���s how the society reacts. But some of us are just not made to follow the societal norms. My immense love for music coupled with my adamant nature didn���t let me settle for anything apart from music. For me, music is like medicine.
Despite hailing from Kolkata, you never thought of composing for Bengali films.
Of course I do. I���d love to work with Srijit Mukherji and Kaushik Ganguly.
How much are you clued in to Bengali film music?
I left Kolkata around eight years back and Bengali film music has come a long way since then. I love Anupamda���s (Roy) songwriting and compositions. He is brilliant. The song Ek baar bol tor keu nei is one of my favourites.
Heard you used to fight with your mother as a kid because you were forced to learn Rabindrasangeet?
Oh yes! Protidin ma er sanghe jhogra hotoh gaan sekha niye! But now Rabindrasangeet is my fave. There are times when I just sit quietly and listen to the songs. During my college days, I used to love rock. Fossils was at its peak then. I grew up listening to Kabir Suman, Anjan Dutt and so on.
Do you catch up with your old friends whenever you come down to Kolkata?
I do meet my school friends when I come here. Right now, Kolkata seems to be brimming with joy as Durga Puja is just weeks away. But sadly, I���m going to miss it this time as I would be out of the country for work. What I will miss the most are pandal-hopping and eating out in the wee hours.
Are you in touch with other Bengali music directors based in Mumbai?
Of course. I have known Pritamda very well since I was nominated for my debut in Jism2 and for my second film, Yaariyan. I was lucky to score the soundtrack along with him, Mithoon and YoYo Honey Singh. We won the best music award for it too. Pritamda is very warm and often invites us over to his house. Jeetda (Gannguli) is like family to me. His wife is my mom���s student and they are the sweetest people on earth. We often hang out in a group for adda where we don���t talk work. I don���t know Shantanu Moitra personally, but whenever we meet he is extremely encouraging and supportive.
How is the competition in Mumbai music industry?
Quite tough, but fair at the same time. What matters there is your song���s merit and nothing else.
Most of your songs, which are also penned by you, are hits. Does that create a pressure on you when you compose your next song?
There are certain expectations when you work with big stars and banners. But I take it more as a compliment than a burden.
Well the list is endless -- my childhood, daily experiences, the people around, my lovers, travelling and imagination.
While promoting Rustom in Kolkata, Akshay Kumar crooned Tere sang yaara, which is composed by you. How does it feel?
Feels great. He told me that after a long time he has a favourite song. Akshay sir has always been very kind to me. This is the third song I made for him after Meherbaani from The Shaukeens and the title track for a TV show hosted by him called Dare 2 Dance.
Who are your favourite male and female singers?
Among male artistes, it���s Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder, Bruce Springsteen, Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Hemant Mukherjee and Mohammed Rafi to name a few. Among female singers, Lauryn Hill, Adele, Alanis Morissette, Abida Parveen and Shreya Ghoshal are my favourites.
Which music director do you like the most?
My all-time favourite music director is Hemanta Mukherjee. I am also very fond of Vishal Bhardwaj.
One singer you wish to lend voice to your music?
My dream is to have Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan or Jagjit Singh lend their voice to music composed by me some day.
Which is your favourite composition till date?
Dariya, from an upcoming film starring Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra. The song conveys the simplest and purest emotion and that���s how music should be.
Akshay Kumar, Sidharth Malhotra, Irrfan, Randeep Hooda all have lip-synced on your tracks. Any actor you would want to playback for?
I would like to playback for Ranbir Kapoor. He is one of my favourite actors.

Time: Live Better groups will run for 8 consecutive weeks beginning Monday, January 11, 2016 from 7-9pm.
Celebration event: Special recognition during Sunday Assembly March 13, 2016 followed by a lunch get-together for all attendees after the Assembly.
Live Better groups are not therapy; this is a small group (6 to 8 people), peer-to-peer support to help you live your best. Whether you want to be held accountable to your goals, need encouragement for creative projects, or simply want some general "got you back" comradery, Live Better Groups are here to help.
Meetings involve group members bringing a challenge or topic that they want to talk about, and others in the group are invited to provide helpful suggestions / perspectives.
Usually you’ll split the time between the number of attendees, with each person having a similar amount of time to talk about their topic for the week.
The facilitator may have to ask you to wrap up your topic if you go over time. They’ll also be taking notes of what people are working on and what they’ve resolved to do, and circulating these via email.
Live Better groups are a safe space where attendees can share without fear of judgement.
They’re just as much about helping other people with their goals as they are about getting support for yours. When someone else is sharing, show respect by listening attentively and giving them your full attention.
For groups to work well it requires seeing the same faces. Please commit to attending and if you can’t make a session, please email/text your facilitator so that they know not to expect you.
If you would like to join a Live Better Group, but this time/location is not workable for you, express your interest in a second group meeting option by filling out THIS FORM.

iCatCare announced the winners of the Street Cats photography competition of 2017. The winnners are all going to feature in the iCatCare 2018 calendar. iCatCare launched the competiton in April of this year. There were six weeks to enter and the aim of the street cat theme was to raise awareness of cats that are considered to be strays, feral or community cats and their plight.
iCatCare received over 2,100 photographs from all over the world. The images were varied, with some photos showing cats living in dire conditions to other cats living quite comfortably in areas where Trap Neuter Return is performed.
The overall winner was announced in London at the iCatCare’s Annual Awards ceremony on July 14. Catan Ngan won for his photo of a cat that was from the Hong Kong community. The judges praised the image for it’s composition, colours and the presence of the cat in the photograph. Catan won the award, £500 and his photo will be the cover of the charity’s 2018 calendar.
Eve Davies, organiser of the Street Cats competition said that picking the winner was very difficult, which is a testament to the quality of the entrees that were received. It is hoped that the annual charity calendar will raise funds and awareness.
The 2018 iCatCare calendar is available for pre-order, here.

9 April, 2009. It was a Thursday.
With one week iterations on an XP team, we really don’t have that problem. On previous teams, with lengthy six month waterfall cycles, work might get completed in a month or less, but we had to do something until launch night. Re-work our builds, adding coverage, refactoring, improving automation, refactoring, refactoring, refactoring.
As a hard deadline looms, it doesn’t seem to matter what our practices are. Every team I’ve ever worked on has cut corners when up against a hard, important deadline. At some point, the value of our quality-control measures, whether it’s CI, gated builds, unit testing, or avoidance of hacks, all seem to whither away when a deadline that we can’t miss comes up.
And I’m fine with this.
At some point, we have to realize that there is value in delivery, and a goal beyond our own measures for success. We as developers know what it takes to create maintainable software, but maintainability is merely a goal that must be considered along with all the other business goals at hand. Now, in my book, maintainability is a goal of the utmost importance for many projects, especially projects of any significant size or duration.
But what if we’re in a situation where marketing materials, advertisements, and printed stock all point to a release date? These types of materials must be set up months in advance, much larger than our iteration size. So what are we to do if the hard release date comes calling, and we’re not quite finished?
Many hard decisions are to be made at this time, but if we can see the light at the end of the tunnel (a VERY important if), I see it as our duty to sacrifice quality in the interest of a deadline.
I’ve also worked at places where management abused this duty, and imposed frequent hard deadlines upon us in order to prod us into sacrificing quality and our free time more and more often. In these cases, it’s also our duty to push back in favor of a larger, sustainable goal.
It’s too often that we get caught up in our own myopia – not seeing the larger goal at hand. Part of this problem is management, in not defining and translating larger goals into tangible team goals, but it’s just as much a developer’s fault, wanting to be master of their own local domain.
As much as it pains me to do so, I still have to recognize when it’s time to just get the product out the door, and skip the quality control at the moment. As long as I effectively communicate these risks to the decision makers, I’ll sleep well at night. Because when you put quality up against a big deadline, the deadline always wins.

James Neill, a Montreal-based kdb+ developer with First Derivatives, wrote a paper about how kdb+ can be used in machine learning techniques.
James Neill works as a kdb+ consultant for one of the world’s largest investment banks developing a range of applications. James has also been involved in the design of training courses in data science and machine learning as part of the First Derivatives training programme.
Due to the desire to understand the brain and mimic the way it works by creating machines that learn, neural networks have been studied with great interest for many decades. A simple mathematical model for the neuron was first presented to the world by Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts in 1943.
A number of different algorithms have been developed around this field of research, and this paper is going to focus on the implementation of a feedforward neural network in kdb+. A feedforward network (also known as a multi-layer perceptron) is a type of supervised machine learning algorithm which uses a series of nonlinear functions layered together with an output. It can be used for classification or regression purposes and has been shown to be a universal approximator – an algorithm that can model any smooth function given enough hidden units1.
This design of feedforward networks can be represented through operations on matrices and vectors. Array programming languages such as q/kdb+ are well suited for computational implementations in this format due to the vectorised operations on lists.

Bruce will also act as the “sheriff of the shootout” an exciting element of the show that will involve two fund managers or traders who will come in every week and try to convince him and each other why three shares they live by are worth buying. Bruce will then decide who remains and who is eliminated. .

One false move meant death when ... They Rode West.
Dr. Allen Seward (Robert Francis) is assigned to a western cavalry post where his predecessors had been drunks and slackers. The post doesn't take kindly to him either, especially after he disregards regulations and tends to sick Indians on the malaria-infested reservation. The Indians break away from the reservation to move to a healthier higher ground, and when they join with the Comanches to besiege the fort, Seward is branded as a "woodhawk", the bird that turns against its own. Donna Reed is present as the niece of the post commander; Phil Carey is a cavalry captain that believes the only good Indian is a dead Indian, and May Wynn (who shared a screen debut with Francis in "The Caine Mutiny)is the white girl raised by the Indians and married to the chief's son. Francis would make only two more films before being killed in a 1955 plane crash.

Hi, my name is Brian Duprey, owner of Duprey Home Automation.
I’d like to personally welcome you to our site. My main goal is to help you to get more from your house, and enjoy the many exciting and fun things you can do with it, while at the same time increasing your families safety and saving money. My wife and I have a young son and nothing is more important than protecting your family. Please take a look around and let us help you to take your house into the 21st century.
Like most people, I got into home automation as a hobby. It started simply, I enjoyed the convenience of being able to turn lights on and off with a remote control. From there, I found software for my computer and added more and more devices to the system. Now, I can control appliances, lights, music, video, HVAC controls, security cameras, and more all from my iPhone or any web browser anywhere in the world. I can check in on my house via security cameras from anywhere. I can monitor the temperature in the house, and adjust the thermostat accordingly. I can water the yard, but only after the system checks the weather, and makes sure that it isn’t going to rain. The possibilities are endless.
I have over 20 years experience as a web & graphic designer, so those skills help me to create attractive visual interfaces that can be displayed on multiple display types. For example web pages can be customized with information designed and sized for computers, tablet PC’s, web capable phones such as the iPhone, touchscreen remotes and more. Anything is possible.
Let us help you create the futuristic home of your dreams!
