Joining in with Ginny from Small Things.
I have put aside my Beyond Puerperium from last week to finish for Jairah at a later date. I have cast on another in a smaller size. It does seem to be a pattern that runs on the large side. I know my gauge is right. I am knitting the 0-3 month size and it looks closer to 6 months, which should be fine for my friend's baby, as I am aiming for it to fit for the coming European winter. I'm using Bendigo Woollen Mills luxury 8ply in Lake. It's a lovely grey/blue and buttery soft.
[caption id="attachment_1830" align="aligncenter" width="600"] This is the closest to the actual colour of the yarn.[/caption]
As for reading, I have dug out one of my Barbara Kingsolver books, Small Wonder. I'm looking forward to reading it again.
Can't wait to see what you have all be crafting this week. Jacinta x

But at least he was trying to teach me, and I was trying to learn.
With the help of my Lonely Planet Quechua Phrasebook, this is what the driver was trying to teach me:
English: Hello.
Español: Hola.
Quechua: Rimay kullayki.
English: How are you?
Español: ¿Como estás?
Quechua: ¿Imaynallan kashanki?
English: Fine.
Español: Bien.
Quechua: Allillanmí.
English: Goodbye.
Español: Adiós.
Quechua: Tupananchiskama.
Note: written Quechua (generally) follows the pronunciation rules of written Spanish, e.g. a double "l" (i.e. "ll") is pronounced with an English "y" sound.
Well, after this experience, it's clear to me that Quechua is a pretty damn weird and challenging language. I'm busy enough learning Spanish; I think I'll stick to one language at a time.

a communicator number. |
This function evaluates the objective function
FUN(X[i,], X[j, ])
(usually distance of two elements)
on any given pair (i, j)
of a matrix X
.
The input X
should be in common across all ranks if pairid.gbd
is provided, e.g. from comm.pairwise()
.
i.e. X
is exactly the same in every ranks, but
pairid.gbd
is different and in gbd format indicating the row pair
(i, j)
should be evaluated. The returning gbd matrix is ordered
and indexed by pairid.gbd
.
Note that checking consistence of X
across all ranks is not
implemented within this function since that drops performance and
may be not accurate.
The input X
should be a gbd format in row major blocks
(i.e. X.gbd
) if pairid.gbd
is NULL
. A internal
pair indices will be built implicitly for evaluation. The returning
gbd matrix is ordered and indexed by X.gbd
.
This function returns a common matrix with 3 columns
named i
, j
, and value
. Each value
is the
returned value and computed by FUN(X[i,], X[j,])
where
(i, j)
is the global index as ordered in a distance matrix
for i-th row and j-th columns.

The Dinner Game A film review by Marty Mapes Copyright 1999 Marty Mapes
**1/2 (out of 4) THE DINNER GAME is a lightweight French comedy from Francis Veber, who is best known for writing LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, remade in the U.S. as THE BIRDCAGE. THE DINNER GAME starts with a good recipe, follows it closely, and serves it up in an appropriate (if cheap) dish. The only thing wrong is that it's all dessert.
Mr. Brouchant belongs to a club of successful former frat boys.   The movie introduces a few examples of prize dates: a bank teller with an opinion on everything, a boomerang collector, and a man who makes elaborate models out of matchsticks.
Brouchant's pick of the week is Mr. Pignon, the matchstick modeler. He invites Pignon over to his house for drinks before dinner, but that afternoon, he throws out his back playing golf. His doctor says he has to stay home and rest.

The plot takes off from here at a steady pace that keeps increasing as the movie races toward the end. First Brouchant's wife calls to dump him, and Pignon wants to be a shoulder to cry on. Then Brouchant's girlfriend calls and invites herself over, and Pignon volunteers to try to keep her away. All the while, Pignon's "help" invariably makes things worse. Brouchant keeps saying "au revoir" but Pignon always finds one more reason to stay.
Eventually, what should have been a relaxing evening at home for the ailing Brouchant, becomes a chaotic scene with Pignon, an old friend, his wife, his wife's boyfriend, his girlfriend, and a tax auditor who works with Pignon.
A complex comedic plot like this needs to have an ending that is not contrived, and Veber comes up with something that caps it all off, without coming across as DEUS EX MACHINA. It is the best possible ending for this film.
The direction, also by Veber, is competent. The greatest directorial challenge in a movie like this is to keep the plot moving ahead, constantly accelerating. The pace can't slow down for a second, and Veber handles this task very well. He also coaxes some good performances out of his actors. I'm not familiar with any of the cast, but nobody was wooden or amateurish. Each character was solid, "believable," and true to the world of the script.
The most serious flaw of THE DINNER GAME is its feather weight. The whole thing is insubstantial and meaningless. The sets and lighting are stagey, like a play or a studio sitcom. The comedic extremes to which the plot goes are so silly that they can't be taken seriously. As funny and well written as it is, it's still a throwaway movie.
I found sitting through THE DINNER GAME to be enjoyable and amusing, but I really got nothing out of it, which ultimately makes me like it less.
You could say THE DINNER GAME is all dessert and no main course.

Today I discovered that Hotmail/Outlook (live.com) does not want to receive my emails. Outgoing email bounced with error: host mx1.hotmail.com[<IP_ADDRESS>] said: 550 SC-001 (SNT004-MC3F4) Unfortunately, messages from <IP_ADDRESS> weren’t sent.
First of all, no IPv6, really?
Anyway, decided to see why my IP could be blocked by Hotmail. Checked if it is listed in public blacklists. Nope, everything is clean.
Somewhere it was recommended to check IP reputation via symantec:
The IP address you submitted, <IP_ADDRESS>, does not have a negative reputation and therefore cannot be submitted for investigation.
Time to contact Microsoft. After some digging found URL in people’s blogs, not on microsoft’s website. Anyway, here is the link: Sender Information for Outlook.com Delivery.
In about 15 minutes received email:
Reported deliverability problem to Outlook.com SRX…..
Please note that your ticket number is in the subject line of this mail.
<IP_ADDRESS>
Note: Errors are unlikely, however, if an error is indicated, please resubmit the specific IP or IP range.
What does it even mean? Does this email indicate an error and should I resubmit this IP again? It’s been already for 30 minutes and still no new information. Microsoft, what a great way to deal with emails!
Update Quite soon after submitting this post received another email from Microsoft:
We have completed reviewing the IP(s) you submitted. The following table contains the results of our investigation.
Conditionally mitigated
Our investigation has determined that the above IP(s) qualify for conditional mitigation. These IP(s) have been unblocked, but may be subject to low daily email limits until they have established a good reputation.
Please note that mitigating this issue does not guarantee that your email will be delivered to a user’s inbox.
Ongoing complaints from users will result in removal of the mitigation.
Mitigation may take 24 - 48 hours to replicate completely throughout our system.
If you feel your issue is not yet resolved, please reply to this email and one of our support team members will contact you for further investigation.
Thanks, but really? Why was this IP blocked by default in the first place? And conditionally mitigated?


There are many existing Behavior-Driven Development tools available that help to write and execute software specifications in order to validate what scenarios and examples say. Some of them, like Cucumber, are already widely used and fits many project needs.
Unfortunately, some projects are still failing to implement BDD even if they believe it would help them design better softwares.
So, let's think about the reasons of these failures. Mainly 2 causes are brought by many blogs : it is either a human problem, either a matter of techniques.
In case of human problems, you won't find any solutions in tools, and Tastee will not give you the right answer, too. Take time to review your organization and read about BDD implementation
Many failure statements claims that making scenarios executable and automate them is too costly for the project. In fact, Developpers have to implement the code that will make scenarios executable (using Selenium for example), but they also have to write the code to implement the software needs, and when the time comes to release, to fix critical bugs, to implement new features, scenarios are described, software code is written, but none have time to write code to make the link between them. (They usually forget that they are behavior-driven and the project become code-driven).
A solution usually stated is to follow basic syntax rules such as Gherkin by using steps and keywords making them reusable and, therefore, are already implemented within the code. This is called a Domain Specific Language (DSL)
Using a specific DSL will then bring complexity to stakeholders that have to follow it to describe the needs which is another cause of failure : stakeholders are having troubles to describe precise scenarios while following a DSL.
So either project have no time to code tests, either it forgets the "simple behavior description" rule (one of the basics of BDD) to fit complex DSL.
Let's take the problem the other way :
The software to test are Web Applications that runs in a "web browser".
Users are limited in the actions they can do with a Web Browser. They can :
By compiling some of them, more complex actions can be created such as "Connect to a website using a username and password" and so on ...
This why Tastee is trying to provide its users an extensible "Browser Specific Language" to help him implement any action using its natural language.


➢ Module 7 file
In this module we will run month 3 compliance where we will see how AEWS deals with the eligible jobholders that have reached the end of their postponement period (issued month 1) and with employees that have previously been processed for an Opt In.
During this month several employees had a pay rise which resulted in them changing status, AEWS monitors both existing and non existing members for upward status changes and then displays the relevant compliance action needed.
➢ Followed their internal timeline
We have now successfully uploaded Month 3 and observed how AEWS deals with opt in’s and employees after their postponement has ended. It’s important to reflect these changes back in to your payroll system

RONIN A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1998 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): ***
Who or what is a Ronin, you ask? In somber, slow moving white text on a black background, a didactic RONIN feels compelled to explain the definition of its title before it lets the movie begin. With the solemnity befitting a religious epic, we learn that in feudal Japan, Samurai whose liege lords were killed were called Ronin. Forced to wander the countryside looking for work, they hired themselves out as contract killers or as whatever their new employers wanted.
(You'll be glad to know the introduction is little more than a confusing diversion having scant bearing on the movie at hand. Although there is some relevance, it is best ignored.)
John Frankenheimer, who has directed films as intriguingly excellent as THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE and as laughably awful as THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU, focuses all of his considerable talents for tension on RONIN.
The problem with the movie, however, stems directly from Frankenheimer's skill as an action director. He's too adept for his own good. The car chases, which are masterfully staged, overwhelm a much better psychological thriller underneath. After the one-hundredth car is demolished in his driving-against-heavy-traffic demolition derby, the audience is ready to cry "uncle." Stop already and get back to the plot.
The story trying desperately to get out is an outstanding character study of intrigue and double-dealing. Thanks to David Mamet's rewrite of J.D. Zeik's original script, the movie pulsates with Mamet's intelligent brand of terse, enigmatic dialog. (Mamet writes under the pseudonym Richard Weisz due to a contract dispute.)
As the movie opens, we meet a group of bad guys who know as little about what is happening as we do. An Irish ice goddess, who reveals little more than her name, Deirdre, has collected five criminals to pull off some unknown job. The veteran criminals are strangers who are instantly leery of each other.
As the organizer, Deirdre, Natascha McElhone from THE TRUMAN SHOW and MRS. DALLOWAY gives the best performance of her young career. An actress who is best when she has to keep her emotions closely in check, McElhone is perfectly cast for the role. Her character's coldness makes her few displays of genuine feelings all the more dramatic, none better than a brief kissing scene.
The odd assembly of crooks quickly begins to size up each other's skills. They even devise subtle tests of their acumen.
As Sam, Robert De Niro is Mr. Caution. If there's any doubt about a situation, he stays frozen in his tracks like a deer caught in the glare of a car's headlights. But, when he does move, De Niro shows that he can play a quite credible action hero.
The rest of the team of mutual distrust includes Jean Reno as Vincent, Stellan Skarsgard as Gregor, Skipp Suddeth as Larry and Sean Bean as Spence. The remainder of the ensemble cast is as good as the principals. Jonathan Pryce, for example, plays a sinister Irish leader named Seamus, who has an unstated mission.
The setup for the plot is that the team is supposed to steal a case of unknown contents, guarded by a group of unknown size, from a yet to be revealed location at some time in the near future. The movie is set in France and features great aerial location shots of Paris and Nice.
In this movie of cross, double-cross, and triple-cross, stealing the case becomes a child's game of case, case, who's got the case. The movie is at its very best when the least is known. This spirit, thankfully, is continually recaptured as many facts are found out not be true after all, leaving the gang to try to rediscover what is happening.
The sparse dialog uses the unspoken word even better the spoken to advance the storyline. Even knowing the old adage that there's no honor among thieves, the movie keeps surprising us.
"No questions, no answers, that's the business we're in," Vincent says at the end. This movie's business is as a mysterious thriller, not a mindless action picture. With about fifteen minutes of car chases edited out, the marvelous movie at its core could have gotten out. As delivered, it's many outstanding parts are obscured by endless, action sequences.
RONIN runs 1:58. It is rated R for violence and profanity and would be fine for teenagers.

validatinGroups
attribute.public void validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, java.lang.Object value)
Verify that the value is valid according to the Bean Validation constraints.
Obtain a ValidatorFactory
instance by calling
Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory()
.
Let validationGroupsArray be a Class []
representing validator groups set on the component by
the tag handler for this validator. The first search component terminates the search for the validation groups value.
If no such value is found use the class name of Default
as the value of the
validation groups.
Let valueExpression be the return from calling UIComponent.getValueExpression(java.lang.String)
on the argument
component, passing the literal string “value” (without the quotes) as an argument. If this
application is running in an environment with Jakarta Expression Language, obtain the
ValueReference
from valueExpression and let valueBaseClase be the return from calling
ValueReference.getBase()
and valueProperty be the return from calling
ValueReference.getProperty()
. If an earlier version of Jakarta Expression Language is present, use the
appropriate methods to inspect valueExpression and derive values for valueBaseClass and
valueProperty.
If no ValueReference
can be obtained, take no action and return.
If ValueReference.getBase()
return null
, take no action and return.
Obtain the ValidatorContext
from the ValidatorFactory
.
Decorate the MessageInterpolator
returned from ValidatorFactory.getMessageInterpolator()
with one that
leverages the Locale
returned from UIViewRoot.getLocale()
, and store it in
the ValidatorContext
using ValidatorContext.messageInterpolator(jakarta.validation.MessageInterpolator)
.
Obtain the Validator
instance from the validatorContext
.
Obtain a jakarta.validation.BeanDescriptor
from the jakarta.validation.Validator

on the BeanDescriptor
returns false, take no action and return. Otherwise
proceed.
Call Validator.validateValue(java.lang.Class<T>, java.lang.String, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Class<?>...)
, passing valueBaseClass, valueProperty, the
value argument, and validatorGroupsArray as arguments.
If the returned Set<
is non-empty, for each element in the ConstraintViolation
>Set
, create a FacesMessage
where the summary and detail are the return from calling ConstraintViolation.getMessage()
. Capture all such
FacesMessage
instances into a Collection
and pass them to
ValidatorException(java.util.Collection)
. If the
ENABLE_VALIDATE_WHOLE_BEAN_PARAM_NAME
application parameter is enabled and this Validator
instance
has validation groups other than or in addition to the Default
group, record the fact that this field failed
validation so that any <f:validateWholeBean />
component later in the tree is able to skip
class-level validation for the bean for which this particular field is a property. Regardless of whether or not
ENABLE_VALIDATE_WHOLE_BEAN_PARAM_NAME
is set, throw the new exception.
If the returned Set
is empty, the ENABLE_VALIDATE_WHOLE_BEAN_PARAM_NAME
application parameter is
enabled and this Validator
instance has validation groups other than or in addition to the Default
group, record the fact that this field passed validation so that any <f:validateWholeBean />
component later in the tree is able to allow class-level validation for the bean for which this particular field is a
property.

done via the StateManager
This method must not alter the state of the implementing object. In other words, after executing this code:

Pullquotes, not to be confused with blockquotes, also symbolizes a quote of a block of text. The difference lies
in the visual presentation as well as the content. PullQuotes are most often used in magazine/news articles and pull
the quotes directly from the text of the article it is placed in and tend to be floated in the content of the article.
Pullquotes are meant to help engage the viewer in the article more quickly by displaying an interesting 'teaser' of the article content. Pullquotes
have no distinct html tags associated with them, this theme uses h6
headings for them to help keep
a semantic mark-up

 This is the pullquote text...

Code
tags are used to highlight text that represents code, usually within a body of text. Pre tags
are used to display preformated bodies of text, where whitespace is preserved. Pre
tags are most commonly
used to display a larger block of code preserving nesting and tabbing to make it easier to read.

 This text is contained within a  p  element and if displayed the 'p' would be highlighted.

 This text is in a div tag which is within a pre tag.

New passengers clutched their tickets as they looked for somewhere to sit in the crowded bus. Women with young children made them comfortable for the long journey.

I squeezed in next to a window. The person sitting next to me was holding tightly to a green plastic bag. He wore old sandals, a worn out coat, and he looked nervous.

The loading was completed and all passengers were seated. Hawkers still pushed their way into the bus to sell their goods to the passengers. Everyone was shouting the names of what was available for sale. The words sounded funny to me.

A few passengers bought drinks, others bought small snacks and began to chew. Those who did not have any money, like me, just watched.
These activities were interrupted by the hooting of the bus, a sign that we were ready to leave. The tout yelled at the hawkers to get out.
Hawkers pushed each other to make their way out of the bus. Some gave back change to the travellers. Others made last minute attempts to sell more items.

As the bus left the bus stop, I stared out of the window. I wondered if I would ever go back to my village again.
Nine hours later, I woke up with loud banging and calling for passengers going back to my village. I grabbed my small bag and jumped out of the bus.
The return bus was filling up quickly. Soon it would make its way back east. The most important thing for me now, was to start looking for my uncle’s house.

Abstract:
Reporting requests that are required ‘yesterday or sooner’, oft times necessitate working more efficiently and effectively. We have all been through this at one time or another. In this hands on presentation we shall be looking some of the more challenging techniques of extracting our data from our Multidimensional and Tabular Models, in addition to our Data Mining Models. We shall be utilizing concepts of ‘Openquery()’ and ‘linked servers’ as a means to extract data, in addition to looking at the way that these two concepts can help us extract our data utilizing MDX, DMX and DAX expressions; AND YET maintain the flexibility and the ability to utilize all those wonderful techniques that may be done with T-SQL.
Speaker(s): Steve Simon,
Abstract:

Things you don't want to know about SQL Server
Speaker(s): Klaus Aschenbrenner,
Abstract:
SQL Server 2012: Efficient and effective database design is so important that leaving it solely to the DBAs is simply not a solution. We as developers will more than likely have to create applications to access the data stores and as such must ensure that all application related considerations are taken into account within the database design.In this session, (aimed at software developers) we shall be touching upon several concepts of special importance to the developer. These include database development "patterns and anti-patterns", final proofing of design and creating versatile deployment scripts that can and will be utilized in future endeavors.
Speaker(s): Steve Simon,
Abstract:
When a client migrated from IBM Cognos to SQL Server Reporting Services as their reporting tool, we needed to provide the same functionality and user experience they were getting with the Cognos prompt pages. The standard Reporting Services prompt pages could not meet these requirements, so we developed and implemented a custom prompt page solution, using ASP, JavaScript and jQuery, from which to run the Reporting Services reports. This session will cover how we developed this solution and how it works.
Speaker(s): Lyndon Johnson,
Abstract:
SQLCLR was introduced in SQL Server 2005 with much fanfare. Unfortunately the uptake of it was not as good as Microsoft would have wanted. This does not mean however that SQLCLR is not useful, it is very useful in the right circumstances. In this session we will see how to use SQLCLR and how it is being used in production to solve real-world hard problems. The session is high on code and low in slides!
Speaker(s): Niels Berglund,
Abstract:
In this session we will explore the power of Power QA in Office 365. We'll look at getting data into O365 enabling it for QA and then using Power QA on that data. We'll then switch to Sample Data available in Office 365 to demo some capabilities with a larger data set.
Speaker(s): Gordon Beeming,
Abstract:
An effective indexing strategy is one of the most important responsibilities of a database professional. In this session we will briefly look at the internals of indexes and how the engine decides how to utilise them. We will explore the different options and choices available in the different versions from 2005, 2008,2012 and 2014.
Speaker(s): Stanley Roos,
Abstract:
UNIQUEIDENTIFIERs as Primary Keys in SQL Server - a good or bad best practice? They have a lot of pros for DEVs, but DBAs just cry when they see them enforced by default as unique Clustered Indexes. In this session we will cover the basics about UNIQUEIDENTIFIERs, why they bad and sometimes even good, and how you can find out if they affect the performance of your performance critical database. If they are affecting your database negatively, you will also learn some best practices how you can resolve those performance limitations without changing your underlying application.
Speaker(s): Klaus Aschenbrenner,
Abstract:
introducing Microsoft’s technology entry into the machine learning capability
Speaker(s): Gary Hope,
Abstract:
If there’s one thing that we, as SQL developers, don’t do, it’s use enough transactions. Transactions are critical when multiple changes need to be made entirely or not at all, but even given that it’s rare to see transactions used at all in most production code. In this session, we’ll look at what transactions are and why we should use them. We’ll explore the effects transactions have on locking and the transaction log.
Speaker(s): Gail Shaw,
Abstract:
As a DBA do you control what is utilising the resources within Sql or do the the Applications? Learn how to setup and configure Sql Server Resource Governor, and how it can be used to determine what application or users are hogging the resources and how to limit those that are impacting on the overall system performance.
Speaker(s): Martin Phelps,
Abstract:
In this session we will explore a number of basic data modelling and analytical problems and how to use DAX to solve them. While this session will not make you a DAX Jedi It should provide you with a good understanding of the fundamentals of the language.
Speaker(s): Matt Horn,
Abstract:
In this session we will explore the way forward using the MS CloudOS platform and how it helps to simplifly our business.
Speaker(s): Jody Roberts,
Abstract:
Start with data management features available on Microsoft Azure and learn about the various options for using SQL Server in Windows Azure. Explore the differences between Azure SQL Database (PaaS) and SQL Server in infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and see how to deploy and manage both approaches.

Abstract:
With the introduction of Database Projects in Visual Studio, SQL developers have finally had a way of controlling their source code. When used with TFS, you can take advantage of further enhancements such as automated builds, and workflows. Tools being discussed, Visual Studio, TFS, Powershell, SQL Server, branching.“
Speaker(s): Stefan Cronje,
Abstract:
Ever wondered what the things called statistics are, why they're important and what needs to be done to maintain them? If so, this session is for you! In this session well take a look at what statistics are and why SQL keeps them; at how SQL maintains them and under what circumstances that maintenance is insufficient; and well look at the problems that result when they are inaccurate. Finally well cover some suggestions and options around maintenance of statistics when the automatic maintenance is not sufficient.

The following is a list of sponsors that helped fund the event.


The following are various freelance projects I have picked up along the way.
Jillian’s Bakery
Jillian Kimberlin is a friend of mine. During the December Holiday Season, she bakes and gives away dozens of chocolate chip cookies. In order to make the process a bit easier for her, and to make the cookies extra special, I created this logo, and got a rubber stamp made for her.
Pokeballers flag football jerseys
In Fall 2015, a bunch of the IBM new hires signed up for a flag football league. Most of the guys are avid Pokémon fans, so I tried to incorporate it into the jersey design. All things considered, I should just stick with creating the jerseys rather than participating on the field :)
gEECS Logo Design
The Girls in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (gEECS) club at University of Michigan wanted to refresh their logo. The clients wanted to maintain the integrity of the previous design (cursive ‘g,’ capital letters for ‘EECS’). Based on their wants, I created this logo – it has been featured on t-shirts, various presentations, and social media.
Actipal
From June 2012-December 2012, I worked with a Doctor at the University of Michigan Department of Pediatric Endocrinology to create a mobile app to help kids with diabetes monitor their activity, blood sugar, insulin etc. This is one of the many things I created for this project, but unfortunately, one of the few things I still have.
Lynx Mobile App Site
In July 2012, a couple of undergrads approached me with a gig to create some website wireframes and mockups for a mobile app site. Considering their wants, this is the design I created for them.
Ross India Business Conference
In August 2012, a couple of grad students approached me with a gig to update their conference website. It was a wordpress site that needed to be further customized to accomodate conference changes.


Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola joke about trophy success: 'Maybe we can swap?' – video
Pep Guardiola and Jürgen Klopp were in fine spirits as they spoke at the Football Writers’ Association on Sunday. After the pair received awards, they spoke openly about the the 2018-19 season, Vincent Kompany’s long-range strike against Leicester being a particularly difficult moment for Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp. ‘Second by second by second I started hoping. And I saw Leicester getting tired I was really angry with them. And then Kompany scores from outside the box.’ On the other side, Guardiola joked about wishing to swap trophies with his counterpart
