Sprint 5 Cultural
What are three new things you have learned about yourself and your ego as a result of the core learning?
- Try not to over-think a seemingly minor problem where possible.
- Everyone is here to help out each other when encountering difficulty, and to understand one another's traits.
- Piece by piece often does the trick.
What has surprised you the most about the core learning?
The importance of being in the right frame of mind.
What were the most challenging aspects of the core learning?
Sticking to the recommended scheules was a challenge at times, for someone who's accustomed to making things up as they go along.
Also, putting thoughts to (digital) paper as a naturally self-effacing type took some getting used to.
Why do you think we, a programming school, are spending so much time focusing on core learning in a web development bootcamp course?
Because soft skills are a major part of being a web developer and the wider ICT sector.
Does the time you spent studying core learning here feel like a waste of time? Should you have just used that time to practicing programming instead?
Justify your answer.
Not necessarily. It's one thing to be a coding expert, but it's quite another to make it as one in isolation.
Technical skills alone don't cut it as much as they used to,
as a rapidly-changing ICT industry increasingly requires wider skill sets.

We got up early and left for Salt Lake. We
stopped and got some breakfast on the way. We arrived at 9:55 AM, at the
Church House where the Funeral services are to be held for Enid Porter Degraw.
I felt good at the timing until I got out of the car and realized that we had
left some of our clothes at Bill & Joyce’s. That included my suit coat and
tie. Kim and Georgia arrived just then and I asked Kim if he had an extra
tie. He did, so I just went with a shirt and tie. The funeral services were
very appropriate. Bryce had Mae & I ride with him to the cemetery. Uncle
Wayne dedicated the grave.
We returned to the church and ate lunch with the family. Mae and I came on home
to get ready for the weekend. While Mae started preparing some food to take to
David’s, I made some phone calls to price tires for the snowmobile trailer.
Bob came out to help me remove the tires. We worked all evening taking the lug
nuts off. After getting 9 of the 10 lug nuts off, the 10th lug
stripped just before coming off. Now we couldn’t get it on or off. We thought
that we might cut it if we had a coal chisel. I couldn’t find one so Bob
called Home Depot in
Riverdale. They were closed but told him if we would come over they would help
us out. We went over and the manager let us in, gave me a 3/4” coal chisel and
when I offered to pay he said no I could just have it. Boy! That was special.
I was sure tired when we quite for the night. I had to take a hot shower to
warm up before going to bed.
Saturday, April 02, 2005
I got up early to get the tire off the trailer as I had an appointment to get new tires mounted at 9 AM. We couldn’t cut the lug with the coal chisel so had to rent a cutting torch and cut it off. It took the morning to get the tires back on the trailer but I also bought me an artic suit and boots. Mae was ready to leave to go up to David’s by the time I finished. We stopped and bought Mae an artic suit also on the way to David’s. We felt that the Sportsman Warehouse in Riverdale gave us a good buy. David and Shauna invited all of us to their place to watch to General Conference on their big TV Screen. Mike’s family, Scott’s family, Jeff & Gail and Mae & I were all there. This evening all my boys, David (Mike’s son) and I attend General Priesthood meeting. We ate and played games until 10 PM. All except for Mike’s family then went home to sleep.
Sunday, April 03, 2005
We went back to David’s again this morning. We got there about 9 AM with the rest coming up shortly there after. Sandi came out with us today. We really enjoyed having so many of our family together. With all the children and the visiting we had a difficult time paying close attention to the General Conference sessions. David and Mike prepared breakfast of biscuits & grave. They were very good. After the second session of conference we had dinner of baked potatoes with all the trimmings. David asked if we men could help him move some of his furniture as tomorrow a man will come to repair some problems with the sheetrock. When we got home I got things about ready to go snowmobiling tomorrow morning. Mae was quite tired but helped me. Bob and Carroll had us come up and we visited for a little while before coming back downstairs. It was 10 PM before we got to bed with me taking time to catch up my journal entries.
Monday, April 04, 2005
We left this morning and went up to Randy & Judy’s cabin in the Uinta Mountains. It took us longer to get there than we thought but we made a few stops on the way. Judy fixed some lunch and then we went snowmobiling. We went up towards Lyman Lake but Mae’s machine was low on gas so we came back. I went down to the Bear River Station but they were closed. I drove all the way to Evanston, a distance of 30 miles, and realized that I had for got to bring my wallet. I just returned and we, Randy, Judy, Mae & I, played games and visited until late.
Tuesday, April 05, 2005
I took the snowmobiles to the Bear River Station and was able to get them filled with gas today. The four of us again went snowmobiling and went all the way to Lyman Lake today. I got stuck as we were trying to get all the way to the cabin there. With Randy and Mae’s help we got it out. We next had trouble getting one of the snowmobiles to start. As we left to return to Randy & Judy’s cabin I took off to have a little fun and really ended up with my machine stuck and to far off the road to get Randy and Mae to help. I left my machine and crawled out to the road. Randy and Judy’s machine is having belt trouble and he didn’t have an extra belt with them. We left my machine for now and will have to go back for it later. Their machine made it back to the cabin. We ate lunch and packed up to come home. We stopped at a shop on the way out and bought a new belt for Randy’s machine. Mae and I stopped in Evanston and ate some dinner at a Chinese restraint. We were until almost 9 PM before we got home. We had called Bryce, on the way home but he wasn’t home, so Mae left a message asking him to call me. Bryce called but will be working tomorrow. We took hot baths trying to get the stiffness out after the two days of playing around.
Wednesday, April 06, 2005
This morning I made some calls to see if I could find anyone that could go with me to retrieve our snowmobile. I called Grenn Clark and talked to Sister Clark. Grenn was on a job but she gave me his phone number. Bryce called and said that he thought that Nolan would be able to help me. I called Nolan and he said he could go with me. Mae prepared some breakfast and some lunch. I met Nolan at 10:15 AM at his parent’s home. We were up to Randy’s cabin by 12:45 PM. We installed the new drive belt onto Randy’s snowmobile, then took it into the shop in Evington and had them adjust the drive pulleys. It was after 4 PM when we got back and started going to Lyman’s Lake to get my snowmobile. When we got there we found that it wasn’t as far off the trail as I had figured. When I had left the machine I had moved to the right thinking that I could see a trail but has wrong so went back to the left before finding the trail. Another thing is the trail mad a right hand bend just a short distance before the area I had found it. As it turned out the machine was only about 150 feet off the trail. With the shovels we were able to dig the snow away from the machine and with the two of us were able to easily tip it out of the snow. We packed a trail for a short distance in front of the snowmobile so I could get it started and by giving it plenty of power was able to break through to the main trail. We then took time to go back to Lyman’s Lake and drove over to the lodge and cabin area. They were unlocked so I showed them to Nolan. We then started back. Part way my machine tour a drive belt but I had a spare so with a little lost time was able to change it and again be on our way. All went well and I got home about 9:30 PM. Mae said that Bob was concerned and worried about me all day. He came downstairs almost as soon as I got home. I sure appreciated Nolan’s help and willingness to go with me. Mae isn’t feeling too good this evening. We soon went to bed being very tired.
Thursday, April 07, 2005
After breakfast I got some of my tools and went over to Scott & Mishelle’s to shape some boards for Mishelle. Kip was out front so we visited for a few minutes. Gail, Becky and Shauna came as our daughter-in-laws are getting together to make clocks. Mae came to tend the children for them. I router the edges of four round boards, drilled a hole in the center and router a indent for a clock motor to be inset from the back. It was after noon before I finished up and came home. I stopped and looked at a covered trailer as I am thinking that is the way to keep my tools plus it would be of good use if and when we start building. I then came home, ate some lunch and took a nap. Bob had Grant come over and we took a piano and entertainment center down to Sheri’s. I then took the snowmobiles down to Randy’s and unloaded his. I had forgotten to bring the key to my snowmobile so had to return home and get it. I brought my two snowmobiles back and parked them in the shed. Mae got home and helped guide me. She then followed me to Randy’s and we filled his van with fuel and returned it to him. We were both very tired by the time we returned home. Mae had tended the kids all day. When we went to bed Mae isn’t feeling very well.
Friday, April 08, 2005
I was up early and as I try to do read a chapter from the scriptures. Having the palm pilot helps me. I have also played a game of checkers most mornings. I am not sure if that is a good thing or not. I let Mae sleep in until she woke at 7 AM. She still doesn’t feel the best. Mae went down to Randy’s for a treatment this morning. Georgia is coming over today and the two of them are going out for lunch. She wants the apartment looking nice, especially with Georgia coming. I cleaned the windows in the sun room and Bob helped me by assembling the bar stools. We had it about done when Mae got back from Randy’s. I then went upstairs and mounted Bob’s cupboard over his stove and the cupboard that came out we mounted at the end of the cabinets. I brought my tools in and installed the trim around the top of the cabinets. This I had never done since I had installed their cabinets originally. It was late when we finished putting the tools back. Mae had supper ready when I came down. We watched some of the BYU scripture study while eating. We then watched a show on TV that was pretty good. Mae gave me a hair cut before we went to bed.
Saturday, April 09, 2005
I woke up at 4:45 AM and couldn’t go back to sleep so worked on the computer for a while. Mae got up about 7 AM but I was tired and went back to bed. I got up about 11 AM and we had breakfast. We did some shopping today and just enjoyed being together. I got some parts and installed our TV, VCR & DVD in our bedroom. I must not have them quite right but we watched a movie on TV before going to bed. Mae called David & Leah Frandsen this evening. They are to ones that Sister Nadado knows and asked us to contact them for her.
Sunday, April 10, 2005
We attended the Clinton 20th Ward this morning and told the bishopric that they could send for our membership records. We thought that it would be Fast & Testimony meeting today but they must have had that before General Conference. We were made welcome to the ward by many. This afternoon we had Jeff & Gail, Scott, Mishelle, Kylan & Ashley over to eat dinner with us. Mae made a nice roast and all the trimmings. We played games for a little while. Irven and Sandy came just as the kids left. We visited for a while and then Irven taught us a card game called “knock”. Bob came down and played with us also. It was late when we got to bed.
Monday, April 11, 2005
We got up late and after breakfast I went upstairs to get started on Bob & Carroll’s fireplace plans. Grant and Stacy came, and in visiting with them, I mentioned that I was having problems with my DVD player. Grant came down and showed me how to control it. They stayed and visited with Mae for a while. Grant brought over a new hood for our stove that matched the stove better. After planning Bob’s fireplace, Bob and I went over to Home Depot to get the materials. We were gone for over 3 ½ hours. I almost missed my appointment with Randy for a treatment. After the treatment, I replaced a filter on Randy’s furnace. After returning home, I decided to put a coat of “Quick Set” on Bob’s fireplace. I didn’t finish until after 9 pm. Mae kept busy today doing laundry, mopped the kitchen floor, dusted throughout the house, vacuumed and then typed letters to some of our friends in the Philippines. I dyed Mae’s hair before we went to bed, so it was after 11 pm when we retired – very tired.
Tuesday, April 12, 2005
I slept in until almost 8 AM. We had cold cereal for breakfast and then I got started on Bob & Carroll’s fireplace. It took a while to get all the tools collected and ready to start work. I had Bob do some running to get materials. I bought a new Hammer Drill in order to put the mounting holes in the brick. I am using David’s tile saw but I don’t like it very well. The one I want will cost over $500. I am trying to decide if I should just buy one as I will need it for our house. I worked until 5:30 PM and then cleaned up. Mae fixed dinner of warm ups as we have a lot of left overs. We went over and got our income tax returns from Ed Sorenson. We will get $1,900 back this year. I worked on my journal as Mae had bought me some pre-punched paper to print 2003 journal on for a hard copy. Mae also got our family picture framed and is having our cross-stitch of Christ mounted and framed. Mae hasn’t been feeling very well the past few days but she keeps going. She called Kevis and we sang Happy Birthday to him. She talked to Shellie for a while.
Wednesday, April 13, 2005
I woke up at 4 AM and was up for a few minutes but was afraid of waking Mae if I crawled back into bed so I laid in the recliner and went back to sleep. Mae woke me at 8 AM. After breakfast I was going to have Mae take the pickup and get it inspected and registered. She still isn’t feeling well so I did it. Bob went with me. Because we had dropped the insurance on the truck while we were gone I had to go to Farmington to get the license. I was glad that I didn’t have Mae do it for me. On the way home we looked at trailers and I decided to get an up grade from the one I had originally looked at. It will cost me another 600 dollars. I worked on Bob’s fireplace this afternoon and we got all the main tile set. By the time we got tools put away it was 7 PM Before I got downstairs. Mae went to a study group and to Home Making this evening. I showered and cleaned up getting ready for bed. I was going to watch the rest of a video but Mae came home and we watched the video of Jeff and Gail’s wedding.
Thursday, April 14, 2005
We slept in and then Bob called from one of the Tile stores trying to explain what they had. I had him come and get me and Carroll and we went back. We selected a different tile and edge for the hearth. It will take a couple of days for it to come in. When we came home I took a nap. Mae and I then went to the Hook & Fly shop where I bought a fishing license. We then went to Wasatch Trailer sells where I bought a new trailer. When we got home I helped Mark and Bob load the tree trimmings and the packaging that our items had been sent from the Philippines into the truck to take to the dumps. We didn’t have time today as we had a Stake Temple Day at 5:30 PM. Mae didn’t feel well enough to go so Bob, Mark and I went. When we got home I popped some corn and we watched a show on TV.
Friday, April 15, 2005
We got up and had breakfast then Bob and I took the load of tree trimmings to the dumps. Before going I climbed up in the big cotton wood tree to the west of the house and removed some dead branches. When we got back we took the cupboard out to install a dishwasher. Bob went to Durk’s Plumbing for parts and a new garbage disposal. Mae came home at 3:15 PM and said we needed to leave for Bountiful. We were to pickup the Clarks and then go to 45th South and State St. to a Chinese restaurant where we were to meet the Frandsen’s. They are the missionary couple that helped Bessie Nadado to return home from Russia. We had a very pleasant evening and enjoyed the visit with the Frandsen’s. Brother and Sister Clark invited us in when we got to their place. We played a game of Rummy as we visited. It was after 9:30 PM before we got home. We just left the mess and soon went to bed.
Saturday, April 16, 2005
We got up and left for Sandi’s. We stopped at Mc Donald’s on the way and got some breakfast to eat on the way. We got to Sandi’s at 8:30 AM. Sandy was soon ready and we went over to Brad & JaNae’s. Mom held our new Great Granddaughter most of the time. She is cute but we are not predigested or any thing likes that. I visited with Brad and bought a case of oil for our truck and car. We were there for an hour or so before going back to Sandi’s. Sandi fixed lunch for us before we came home. I changed clothes and started right to work on our kitchen. I got the dishwasher installed and a new garbage disposal installed and the outside storm door closer reinstalled. We had to hurry in order to be ready for the evening session of the Clinton Stake Conference. I was afraid that I would be too sleepy to stay awake for the session but the speakers were very good and we really enjoyed the meeting. After we got home Bob called down and told me that there was a show on about the Wind Talkers and the code that the marines used with the Navajos during World War 2. I stayed awake to the end but Mae went to sleep just before it got over. It was after 1AM before I went to sleep.
Sunday, April 17, 2005
We got up at 6:50 AM and started top get ready when Bob came down and invited us to have breakfast with them of biscuits & gravy. We went into Ogden with them to attend Stake Conference. When we got home Bob invited us to eat lunch with them. Bob had prepared chicken, potatoes and gravy for dinner. After eating I visited for a while. Mae went down stairs and I thought was going to go to sleep but she went down stairs and worked on the computer sorting pictures. We drove up to David & Shauna’s at 4 PM. They had a nice roasted ham dinner ready shortly after we got there, so we ate again. After dinner we visited about building a shop for them and did some analyzing of the selected sight. David, Shauna, Mae and I played a game of “Settlers” and then David showed what his neighbor to the west was doing to install a rock retaining wall. He is concerned as the contractor is digging into David’s property. His neighbor came to check some measurements, so David went over to visit with him about his concerns. When Mae and I went into the house Shauna was upstairs putting the baby to bed so we left a note and left for home. I made my journal entry before we went to bed.
Monday, April 18, 2005
I got up at 5:30 AM but let Mae sleep in. She got up and fixed me some breakfast before I left with Bob at 7:45 AM. We went looking for tile but didn’t have much success except we returned the tile we had bought and got Bob’s money back. I went to Randy’s and got a treatment. Bob and I looked for tile but still with out success except we were given a suggestion that we trim the hearth with wood. Mae & I left for Provo about 2:45 PM. We went to the B.Y.U. campus and found Britney (Granddaughter to Joyce & Bill Stoddard) and got our clothes that we had left when we stayed with Joyce & Bill. We then drove to Pat & Ron Bradfield’s and visited with them for a while. We stopped at a Wendy’s drive in and got something to eat. Next we stopped at Mike & Becky’s. Mike had taken David & Page to the Jazz ball game so I visited with Becky while Grandma played with Mattie and Jessica. We left and got home before 10 PM.
Tuesday, April 19, 2005
I worked on Bob & Carroll’s fireplace all day, getting done about 5 this afternoon. Mae has been visiting friends and family most of the day. She didn’t get home until 7 PM. We watched two series of Bonanza this evening. I got up to enter my journal and made entries to our checking account first. By the time I got this entry made it was after 11 PM. Randy and I had planned on going fishing today but the weather was cold and rainy so that got canceled.
Wednesday, April 20, 2005
I worked with Brother Clark on a commercial job he has been doing. We laid tile in a room that he had enclosed. I laid the tile while he kept me supplied. He said after we had finished that it had been a long time since he had been a hod carrier. It took us about 5 hours to complete the job. We went over to his place and sister Clark prepared us some lunch. It was fun to visit with them as we ate. Grenn paid me $120 for the work. I was tired and cold but we watched a Bonanza movie before going to bed.
Thursday, April 21, 2005
I prepared breakfast this morning and then went upstairs and worked on the fireplace for Bob and Carroll. I was able to finish it today. The fireplace finished very nice. Bob & Carroll are very pleased with it. After putting away all my tools I went down stairs and took a nap. Mae had gone shopping and didn’t get home until almost 5 PM. She bought me a calculator and a watch. The calculator is a science calculator so I wasn’t too pleased with it. My actions upset Mae. Sometimes it is very easy for me to say the wrong thing. We ate some dinner and then drove to Mike and Becky’s. Just before getting to Mike’s place he called us. Maddi came to him and asked, “Just how many minutes will it be before Grandma and Grandpa will get here?” Mike told her he wasn’t sure but they would call us. We were just about 10 minutes away from their house. The two girls were especially anxious and waiting when we got there. Mike helped me load a backup program on our laptop computer for my palm. We played games for a while this evening before we went to bed.
Friday, April 22, 2005
I woke up at 5 AM and couldn’t go back to sleep. I was up for a while and finally laid down. I just got to sleep when Taylor’s alarm went off and woke me. Becky made breakfast of waffles. They were very good. Becky and a couple of other mothers have a program where they take turns in letting the little children spend some time together in activities. Each mother takes her turn and today was Becky’s turn. Mike, David, Mae and I played a game of Rook and then a game of Cities. Mae and I prepared lunch of hoagie sandwiches. We left their place about 3 PM and went to Payless Shoes and bought Mae a new pair of dress shoes as she had forgotten to bring some with her. We then went to the Little American Hotel where we met the Hyers, the Maharrys and the Clarks and we ate and visited until late. It was expensive food but very good. We sure enjoyed visiting with the couples now that we are all home from our missions. We visited with Bob and Carroll after getting home. They bought me a can of razor spray that I wanted. I then down loaded pictures from our camera to the computer. I then filled out my journal for today. We were late going to bed. Good Night.
Saturday, April 23, 2005
We slept in a while, anyway Mae was able to but I woke before 5 AM. We went out to Sandi’s where I installed the electronic dog fence for her. Her renter next door came over and helped me and I was glad for the help. By the time we finished I wasn’t feeling very well. On the way home we stopped at a Maverick to get gas and a yogurt. It took me until we had passed Salt Lake before I finished eating it. When we got home we just relaxed and watched a good show on TV. We were very tired so we went to bed. I got to sleep before Mae had got in bed. I woke a few minutes later with acid reflects that about choked me. The rest of the night I slept in the big chair but really felt bad and hurt all over with pain.
Sunday, April 24, 2005
Mae came in and woke me as we had over slept. I guess I had forgotten to turn the alarm on after setting it. Although I didn’t sleep very well and really don’t feel very good we went to church. Brother Robins of our Bishopric ask if Mae and I would speak in Sacrament meeting, May 15th. Bob invited us to have lunch with them but I was worried about having more stomach problems so we reclined. We ate just a light lunch. I set in the recliner and took a nap. We went over to Scott’s at 4:30 PM but Scott was still at the church until almost 5:30 PM. We played “Old Pig” with Kylan and Ashley while we were waiting for Scott. After eating we just visited, coming home at 8:30 PM. I filled out this journal entry before we went to bed.
Monday, April 25, 2005
I woke about 6 AM but Mae slept until 7 AM. I can’t play checkers as my free trial time has ran out. I fixed breakfast as Mae started the weekly wash. Mae went to a treatment with Randy at 9 AM. I went to an appointment with Dr. Lee at 9:30 AM. After finishing the Dr appointment I went to Ogden to the Concrete Specialty store and asked for some information. I also stopped at a health store and bought some HCL with Pepsin. Mark thinks it will help my stomach problems. I have taken some he gave me for 5 meals and it seems to be helping. I worked on plans for David’s shop. This evening Mae and I went up to David’s and I used my transit to see how much excavation we need to do. David got home shortly after we got there and helped me lay his shop out. Shauna fixed some dinner for us. Mae played games with the children while I worked on the shop. We got home about 9:30 PM and soon got ready for bed.
Tuesday, April 26, 2005
I got up about 6:30 AM but then went back to bed and didn’t get up until 8:30 AM. Bob and I cut down a tree in his back yard. It took most of the day but we got it down before quitting. I was tired so took a 45 min nap. I worked on David’s shop plans this evening. Mae went out to eat lunch with some of the women at the School District office. She then went over to Scott & Mishelle’s and started sorting and getting our things ready to be taken out of their house. We had a member of the Bishopric and a member of the High Priest group Presidency come this evening. They gave Bob and I the assignment to be Home Teaching companions. Mae had brought some chicken home with her so we ate it while watching some TV. It was late when we went to bed.
Wednesday, April 27, 2005
I slept in until 6:30 again this morning and Mae slept a little longer. After breakfast Mae gave me a haircut. We then got ready to go to the Temple. We stopped at the Distribution Center in Layton but it was still closed so we went over to Wal-Mart. We bought a Weed Eater so we could trim the lawn after Bob mowed it. We also bought a few other items. We them went back to the Distribution Center where I bought me some white pants, a belt and a tie. It was almost noon when we got to the Temple. Mae and I were asked to be the witness couple for the session. We enjoyed the session and after talked about it for a few minutes before going down to change. We went to the cafeteria and ate lunch. While there we met Lynn Penrod. He is a temple worker and has been there for eight years now. He said that Darline doesn’t have very good health so is unable to work with him. It was good to visit with him. On the way home we stopped at Smith’s and bought some Birthday cards for Mike and Conner. We went to the Clearfield post office and mailed them and then went to Wineger’s and bought a few groceries. It was raining hard when we got home. I checked with Bob about going home teaching but we found that it was done for this month before Bob and I were assigned together. I went up stairs to look at the fireplace for Bob has added another finish coat to the wood. Mae got right on the computer to work on pictures. She stayed on it all evening. I watched a fair TV movie “Independence Day” but well over half of the time was advertising. It was after mid-night when we went to bed.
Thursday, April 28, 2005
I got up at 6:30 but Mae hadn’t slept very much last night so I let her sleep in. I caught my journal up. A few days ago Mark suggested that I try taking HCL with Pepsin to help my digestive system. He gave me a few to try and I have bought a bottle of them and I take one with each meal. Since doing this I have not suffered with acid reflux even once. This has been such a relief to fine something to help. Mae got up at 8:30 AM, I was working on a new budget sheet on our computer. Jeff came over and brought our old computer.  We set up the computer and checked the boot up. We got visiting with Jeff and he is having trouble with his testimony of the church. We visited for quite a while about his feelings. I feel that his problem stems from the fact that his girl didn’t wait for him and Jeff is blaming God. I just pray that somehow he can overcome this and realize that he has the best blessing. After Jeff left I went over to Rodney Porter and got the chimney cap I had Rodney’s men make for me. Bob and I cut up some of the tree we cut down Monday. It started to rain and got cold so we quite for today. Mae and I went over to the health store in Roy and bought some capsules and some acidophilus. We then went to Layton and bought a surge protector strip. I cut Mae’s hair this evening for her. I set up and watched a show on TV again until mid-night. Mae went to bed earlier. I finished my journal entry before going to bed.
Friday, April 29, 2005
Mae got up before I did and I didn’t get up until 7 AM. I slept most of the night in the recliner. Bob came down and invited us for breakfast of biscuits and gravy. I started working on setting up the inter-net and wiring our computer power supply. I had to add a ground wire to the wall receptacle. I got the inter-net set up and started working on the bank Statement. I spent most of the day on the computer. Mae and I went over to Scott & Mishelle’s about 4 PM. I let Mae off and I took some things to the Deseret Industries. When I returned to Scott’s they were still there. The key to their one car broke so I let them take my pickup so we could have a car to take the children to the park. We enjoyed taking the children to the Layton Park. They played on the toys and enjoyed feeding the sea gulls and the ducks. It was getting late when we returned to their house. Mae made some soup and toast for supper then we let them watch a DVD. I fell asleep during the show. It was almost 10 PM when we got home. I hooked the trailor up to the pickup so it will be ready for tomorrow.
Saturday, April 30, 2005
We got up at 6 AM so that we could get over to Scott’s about 8:30 AM to start moving our things out and over to our place. David came down to help but should return home around noon. Jeff and Gail came over although Jeff cut his finger quite deep yesterday. We got one big load ready before lunch. The rest went home after we got it loaded. I repaired a drawer in Scott & Mishelle’s kitchen cupboards. Mishelle prepared some lunch for us. We checked into renting a storage shed but I think we have decided against it. Bob and I set some shelving up in the S. E. bedroom and brought some items in from the trailer. This evening we had an invitation to be with the Howe’s and the Klass’s for dinner at the Howe’s. We had a wonderful evening. It was after 10 PM before we got home.


Implementing authentication in CFAjax. If you are concerned about exposing your CFAjax logic/functions to outside world and want to prevent other websites from stealing/using your content, there are three authentication mechanism that you can implement in CFAjax to prevent unauthorized access.
Three methods areThree of these methods can be used independently or can also be used in any combination, usage of each method depends upon how much security you want to implement.
Examples on How to secure your data using CFAjax


The Wekinator
The Wekinator is free, open source software originally created in 2009 by Rebecca Fiebrink. It allows anyone to use machine learning to build new musical instruments, gestural game controllers, computer vision or computer listening systems,
and more.
The Wekinator allows users to build new interactive systems by demonstrating human actions and computer responses, instead of writing programming code.
We will write a little code today, later on.
It'll will be fun though!
Let's do a quickstart with the examples!
And then we can take a deeper dive into how things work!
A lot of the examples were written in Java, so make sure you have that installed:
Java Installer
OSX users install command lne tools
- Open Simple_Mouse_DraggedObject_2Inputs from the inputs folder
- Open Processing_FMSynth_3ContinuousOutputs outputs folder
- Open the Wekinator
- Set 2 inputs
- Set 3 outputs
- Open VideoInput_FaceDetection_Processing_3Inputs from the inputs folder
- Open Processing_SimpleObjectAnimation_5Continuous outputs folder
- Open the Wekinator
- Set 2 inputs
- Set 5 outputs
Open Sound Control(OSC) for communicaion
OSC
Open Sound Control (OSC) is a protocol for communication among computers, sound synthesizers, and other multimedia devices that is optimized for modern networking technology. Bringing the benefits of modern networking technology to the
world of electronic musical instruments, OSC's advantages include interoperability, accuracy, flexibility, and enhanced organization and documentation.
- Let's examine a OSC stream of data
- Open from the Simple_MouseXY_2Inputs Inputs folder
- From the code folder drag osc_simple on to you text editor, also open a terminal and type cd + space and drag the folder there
- now type npm install and then node client_listen.js
- [ '/wek/inputs', 15, 309 ]
- Is a 3 element array, that streams over the network very fast
- /wek/inputs is known as the OSC address, this is what the Wekinator listens for by default
- Only one listener per port
- Hit control C twice to stop the Nodejs program
- OSC uses the UDP Protocol
- UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is an alternative communications protocol to Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) used primarily for establishing low-latency and loss tolerating connections between applications on the Internet.
- Outputs(examples):
- Audio
- Video
- Drones
- Control your house
- Etc....
- Creation of new musical instruments Create mappings between gesture and computer sounds.
- Control a drum machine using your webcam! Play Ableton using a Kinect! Creation of gesturally-controlled animations and games
- Control interactive visual environments created in Processing, OpenFrameworks, or Quartz Composer, or game engines like Unity, using gestures sensed from webcam, Kinect, Arduino, etc.
- Creation of systems for gesture analysis and feedback Build classifiers to detect which gesture a user is performing.
- 3 types of Outputs
- Numeric
- Classification
- Dynamic time warping
Numeric outputs: These are numeric values. There are two types of numeric outputs:
- Real-valued (“continuous”) numeric outputs can take on any number value (possibly limited to a certain range). For example, you might want to control “audio gain” with a real-valued output limited between 0 and 1. This is the default
output type in Wekinator.
- Integer-valued numeric outputs can take on any integer value (possibly limited to a certain range). For example, you might want to control “MIDI pitch” with an integer-valued output between 0 and 127.
Classification outputs: These are discrete categories, such as “Position 1”, “Position 2,” “Position 3.” You’ll need to tell Wekinator how many categories to use. Wekinator will send outputs as numbers, such as “1,” “2,” “3” for categories
1, 2, and 3. Wekinator will attempt to categorize every new input you send it.
Open Simple_Mouse_DraggedObject_2Inputs from the inputs folder
Open Processing_FMSynth_3ContinuousOutputs outputs folder
Open the Wekinator
Set 2 inputs
Set 3 outputs
Set the output type to All Classifiers
Open Simple_Mouse_DraggedObject_2Inputs from the inputs folder
Open Processing_FMSynth_3ContinuousOutputs outputs folder
Open the Wekinator
Set 2 inputs
Set 3 outputs
Set the output type to All Classifiers
Dynamic time warping event outputs: Use this output type when you want Wekinator to recognize patterns over time. For instance, you might want to play one note every time you draw a circle in the air with your hand, and another note every
time you draw a square. If you’re not drawing either one, or if you’re in the middle of drawing, you don’t want anything to happen. That is, you want Wekinator to look for a particular pattern (or multiple patterns) of how the inputs
are changing over time, and tell you when a pattern is spotted and which one it was.
Open Mouse_ForDTW_2Inputs from the inputs folder
Open Processing_GameExample_1Dtw outputs folder
Open the Wekinator
Set 2 inputs
Set 3 gesture types on the output
Set the output type to All Dynamic Time Warping
We will come back and look these models later, but now lets set up some sensors and write our own stuff
Open Arduino, install Adafruit Unified Sensors and Adafruit_ADXL345, Upload adxl345.ino
Now open serial_ws_wek in a text editor and cd to it from the terminal
Change line 11 to your serial port
npm install and node index.js
Now open serial_ws_wek in a text editor and cd to it from the terminal
Change line 3 to your serial port
npm install and node index.js
Close the last program with CTRL+C twice
Now open serialbasic_osc in a text editor and cd to it from the terminal
Change line 9 to your serial port
npm install and node index.js
We are now transmitting the serial data to OSC on port 6448
Close the last program with CTRL+C twice
Open the Wekinator
Set 2 inputs
Set 3 outputs
Set the output type to All Continuous
Now open osc_ws in a text editor and cd to it from the terminal
npm install and node index.js
Open Browser to localhost 3000
Close osc_ws
Close the Wekinator
Open the Wekinator
Set 2 inputs
Set 1 outputs
Set the output type to All Classifiers
Set 7 classes
Now open osc_sound in a text editor and cd to it from the terminal
npm install and node index.js
Open Browser to localhost 3000

A Substance painter encapsulates a common painting logic. For example, in Substance, selected elements in lists, tables, trees and menus are painted with the same gradients. Instead of replicating this code across different UI delegates, it is extracted into a common painter. In addition to code reuse, it:
Currently, Substance uses five types of painters which are used on different types of controls and window areas. The core library bundles a number of painter implementations which are available as officially supported APIs. Interested applications can also create custom implementation of the relevant painter interfaces and combine them together in a skin that creates a unique visual appearance based on the specific design requirements.
Currently, Substance uses the following painter types:
The vast majority of Substance visuals are painted by using these painters (applying the current watermark if necessary). The links above provide more technical information on how to specify custom painters and how to use them to paint custom components and window areas. Applications that wish to provide consistent appearance under different Substance skins are strongly encouraged to use the published painter APIs, even if it results in tying the application code to Substance.
The Substance painting layer provides a convenient API for the applications that wish to paint custom components in a way that is consistent with other Substance visuals. More information can be found in the skinning primer.

I’ve written a few times now about how I’ve slowly automated versioning for apps, SDKs and devtools. Today I wrote a new Ruby tool to help a bit with the process: changetag
, the newest component of my tworingtools
Gem. Let’s see what I’ve been up to, how the process is changing, and what changetag
does to help.
One thing I’ve started since the last writing about version numbers is trying to build a habit of keeping an up-to-date changelog. And wouldn’t you know it, there’s a standard for it: keep a changelog.
Once nice thing about standards is that it allows ease of automation. Once I have a predictable format, I can start writing code that exploits the consistency to shuffle things around for me.
Vrsnr helps change the version numbers wherever they may reside, via a consistent interface at the command line. I have a Rake task to make the change and commit it to git, which I’ve been copying around for a while now (I know, that’s gross–I’m thinking about how to share it, or integrate it into Vrsnr). Then I have a separate Rake task to create a git tag and push to the necessary places (git remotes, dependency servers).
changetag
extracts the relevant entry from your changelog and writes it into the message of a git tag annotation. This way your release notes are neatly encapsulated with the version number, all in the milestone mechanism provided by source control.
GitHub lists each tag you push under a “Releases” tab, and will include by default any message written into the tag’s annotation. You may also edit the release notes through the web UI or the GitHub API to make nicely formatted markdown notes. This is not yet done in changetag
yet but is planned for the future. In the meantime, the notes are still listed there.

The core of our outreach is our basketball program. Through Kingdom Hoops we are able to offer youth a unique development opportunity and platform to 300-400 youth annually. While we offer elite basketball training, our environment is one that creates integrative inclusion – a setting where diverse groups of youth come together, create relationships, and achieve goals together. Last year, students from over 50 school districts in the state of Iowa to participated in Kingdom Hoops.
From a basketball standpoint, our focus remains in the fundamentals and skill development of each athlete in the program no matter age or level. The opportunity for youth to participate in Kingdom Hoops goes beyond training in our Des Moines facility as our teams travel and compete in national events. The AAU basketball model offers a unique exposure opportunity for student-athletes. Each year, 90% of the student-athletes on our top 17U program go on to receive some form of an athletic or academic scholarship. The Kingdom Hoops program is a process and our staff is committed to coming alongside and tailoring the experience to the youth we serve. We believe basketball is the beginning, our vision is to create an experience where youth are able to reach their athletic goals, while growing spiritually and developing relationships along the way.
The Kingdom Cares food program was created in October of 2014 when our staff began to notice a pattern of children asking to grab snacks from the concession stand. Through the help of many dedicated families, we began to provide dinner four times per week to over 40 children. Many of the youth who participate in our basketball programs will spend all day and evening in our facility. We are thankful for the many families who have chosen to serve and come alongside our program to help make this program possible. We rely on volunteers to provide meals each week – if you are interested in volunteering please email Alex Maschoff (alex@kingdomhoops.com).

Overview
We all know that R is a critical part of statistics these days, but it can have a steep learning curve and be intimidating to get started with. The Department of Statistical Sciences (DoSS) toolkit is a free series of open source online modules written by undergraduates, that their fellow students and the public can use to learn the essentials of R.
Contributors
- Annie Collins is an undergraduate student in the Department of Mathematics specializing in applied mathematics and statistics with a minor in history and philosophy of science. In her free time, she focusses her efforts on student governance, promoting women’s representation in STEM, and working with data in the non-profit and charitable sector.
- Haoluan Chen is an undergraduate student in the Department of Statistical Science specializing in applied statistics. He is interested in applying data science techniques, especially in NLP, to gain insight from the data.
- Isaac Ehrlich is an undergraduate student in Statistics and Cognitive Science at the University of Toronto. He enjoys using R for everything from analysing trends in his recent movie-viewing history, to his past research building models on human categorization.
- Mariam Walaa is an undergraduate student in the Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences at University of Toronto Scarborough, majoring in Mathematics and minoring in GIS and statistics. Mariam enjoys learning about how to work with data such as spatial and text data to extract insights.
- Marija Pejcinovska is a graduate student in the Department of Statistical Sciences. Her research is motivated by modelling challenges that arise with “complicated” data (sparse/highly biased/poor quality data), usually in the context of social or health inequalities.
- Matthew Wankiewicz is an undergraduate student at the University of Toronto, majoring in Statistics and minoring in Mathematics and the History and Philosophy of Science.
- Michael Chong is a graduate student in the Department of Statistical Sciences. His research aims to build statistical models for demographic estimation in contexts where high quality data are unavailable. There is almost always an active R session on his computer!
- Paul Hodgetts is a Master of Information candidate concentrating in Human-Centred Data Science in the Faculty of Information, University of Toronto. He sincerely believes that Calvin and Hobbes is the greatest comic ever produced.
- Rohan Alexander is an assistant professor in the Faculty of Information and the Department of Statistical Sciences. Some people convert to catholicism upon marriage, Rohan converted to R. His greatest professional achievement is probably getting a pull request accepted into R for Data Science (it was just fixing a minor typo but still).
- Samantha-Jo Caetano is an assistant professor (teaching stream) in the Department of Statistical Sciences. She loves statistics, socializing, her family, and her dogs, not necessarily in that order.
- Shirley Deng - Shirley is an undergraduate student specializing in Statistics and majoring in Mathematics. Meticulous and soft-hearted, she often finds herself engrossed in new pastimes by the second at the influence of her peers. One of which that has remained a longtime constant - spending an excessive amount of time helping people debug their R code.
- Yena Joo is an undergraduate student majoring in Economics and double minoring in Statistics and Computer Science.

- 4/12: Here are the notes from 4/10.
- 4/9:
- Here are the notes from yesterday.
- Today, Stephen will cover Section 10.8 on Taylor Polynomials. You will be responsible for this material for Exam 3. To help you prepare, here is the study guide. There is also a bonus HW over 10.8, due on 4/29 at 4:00 PM. The bonus HW will replace your lowest HW grade (effectively, Blackboard will drop one homework grade).
- If it is to your advantage, the Final Exam will replace your lowest midterm exam grade.
- We will have bonus quizzes on 4/23 and 4/25. Each bonus quiz can replace your (next) lowest quiz grade (effectively, Blackboard will drop an additional quiz grade for each bonus quiz we have). The bonus quizzes are optional, but highly encouraged. Their purpose is to provide you with timely feedback and practice before the final exam.
- 3/24:
- 4/2: Here are the notes from yesterday.
- 3/29:
- Here is the 4.8, 5.3, and 5.4 study guide.
- There will be a quiz on the basic integral rules (4.8/5.3) on 4/2, which will resemble the fill in the blank derivative rules question from Exam 2. We will have a quiz on solving differential equations on 4/3. Then on 4.4, there will be a quiz on 5.3/5.4, emphasizing applications of integration and the second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
- HW17 over 5.4 is now posted. It is also due on 4/4 (along with HW16), but I have intentionally kept HW17 short.
- Recall that Exam 3 will be on 4/17. It will cover 4.1-4.6, 4.8, and 5.3-5.5.
- 3/27:
- Here are the notes from Monday and the notes from yesterday.
- There will be a quiz over the basic integral rules (4.8 and 5.3), both definite and indefinite integrals, on 4/2. A study
guide over these sections will be posted, hopefully in the next 24 hours.
- Pi Mu Epsilon and the Gamecock Math Club are sponsoring our annual Integration Bee on 4/9 in LeConte 412. Pizza and snacks will be provided starting at 7:00 PM in LeConte 410. The Integration Bee starts at 7:30 PM. Anyone who attends the Integration Bee and participates will receive 2 points of extra credit on a quiz. There will be a sign in sheet at the Integration Bee.
- 3/25:
- HW15 over 4.8 and HW16 over 5.3 are now posted. HW15 is due on 4/2, and HW16 is due on 4/4.
- 3/21:
- Here are the notes from yesterday.
- Given that we have not finished 4.5, the quiz on 3/26 will only cover 4.4. There will be a quiz over 4.5 on 3/28.
- HW14 has been extended to 3/28 at 4:00 PM. Given that the quiz on 3/26 will cover 4.4, you should make every effort to
work through the 4.4 problems on HW14.
- 3/18:
- Here are the notes from today.
- Here is the 4.4-4.5 study guide.
- HW14 over 4.4-4.5 is now available. It is due on 3/26 at 4:00 PM. There will be a quiz over 4.4-4.5 on 3/26.
- After discussing the matter in class, it was decided that Exam 3 will be held on April 17, rather than April 22.
The precise contents of Exam 3 will be determined at a later point, based on the material we cover. With that said,
sections 5.6 and 6.2 will decidedly not be on Exam 3. Both 5.6 and 6.2 will be on the final exam, and
you will have some sort of timed practice (e.g., a quiz) on this material prior to the final exam.
- 3/11:
- Here is the 4.1-4.2 study guide.
- HW11 and HW12 are now posted. HW11 is due on 3/19 at 4:00 PM, ahead of the 4.1 quiz in recitation on 3/19. HW12 is due on 3/21, ahead of the 4.2 quiz in recitation on 3/21.
- Exam 2 will be returned on Monday in class. There will be test corrections for Exam 2 due on 3/25, and they will count as a homework grade. Here are the stipulations.
- You must redo every part of Problem 4 for which you did not receive full credit.
- Pick one problem (other than Problem 1 or Problem 4) to redo.
- For each problem you redid (any part of Problem 4, as well as the problem you picked), you must write a reflection. The reflection should discuss any clear, technical misconceptions or background knowledge you lacked (and in more detail than I didn't study or I didn't know the quotient rule.) You should then (in clear and thorough detail) discuss what you learned.
- You must STAPLE OR PAPERCLIP your corrections to your exam. Your work will otherwise not be accepted.
- 3/4: Here are the notes from today.
- 2/25: Here are the notes from Wednesday.
- 2/26: HW10 over 3.10 is now posted. It is due on 3/4 at 2:00 PM, ahead of class.
- 2/25:
- Here are the notes from today.
- Exam 2 will cover 3.1-3.10, as well as the Intermediate Value Theorem. It will not include any material
from Ch. 4. The date of Exam 2 remains March 6.
- Here is the Section 3.10 study guide.
- We will have a quiz over 3.10 on Monday 3/4. I will have this quiz graded by recitation on Tuesday 3/5, for Stephen to hand back.
So while recitation on 3/5 will be a review day, attendance will be taken.
- 2/21: Here are the notes from yesterday.
- 2/20:
- Here is the 3.7-3.9 study guide.
- HW9 over 3.7-3.9 is now posted. It is due on 2/27 at 11:59 PM.
- We will have a quiz on 3.7 on 2/26, and a quiz on 3.8-3.9 on 2/28. I would advise working through the 3.7
questions on HW9 prior to 2/26.
- Looking ahead, Exam 2 will be on March 6. It will tentatively cover 3.1-3.10 and 4.1-4.2. Stephen will be
covering new material on Thursday March 7 in recitation, for which you will be responsible. There will be
an attendance quiz on March 7. Make your spring break travel plans accordingly.
- 2/18:
- Here are the notes from today.
- You will still have a quiz tomorrow 2/19 on 3.1-3.2. There will be a quiz on 2/20 over the Intermediate Value Theorem.
The quiz on using the derivative rules has been moved to 2/21.
- For Monday 2/25, please redo one exam question which you attempted. Please turn in your revised attempt,
your exam, and a reflection. Your reflection should include discussion on why your initial attempt was incorrect, as well as
a clear and detailed exposition of what you learned. Such details include, but are not limited to: citing specific techniques and approaches, and identifying previous misconceptions/confusions and discussing how you corrected them. Please staple or paperclip your pages to your exam. This assignment will count as a homework grade.
- 2/13: Here is the Study Guide for 3.1-3.5.
- 2/11:
Here are the notes from today.
- 2/10:
- Here are the notes from 2/6.
- On Thursday 2/14 in recitation, Stephen will introduce the Binomial Theorem and use it to prove the power rule for
positive integers. The Binomial Theorem is useful in efficiently expanding out binomials (i.e., without foiling). It will
also come up in your Probability class later. Attendance will be taken on Thursday, and it will count for a quiz grade.
- HW7 over 3.1-3.5 will go online on 2/13 after Exam 1. It is due on 2/19 at 4:00 PM. There will be a quiz on
3.1-3.2 (the limit definition of the derivative) on 2/19 in recitation. On 2/20 in class, we will have a short
quiz on the using the derivative rules to compute basic derivatives. You will not be using the limit
definition for the 2/20 quiz.
- 2/5:
- Here are the notes from yesterday.
- The quiz over 2.5-2.6 is being pushed from tomorrow 2/6 to Thursday 2/7.
- Exam 1 has been pushed to 2/13.
- 2/3:
- On Monday, the goal is to cover 2.5-2.6. We will have a quiz over 2.5-2.6 on Wednesday, at the end of class.
This will allow me to grade the quizzes, so that Stephen can hand them back in recitation on Thursday.
Stephen will also have your 2.3 quizzes graded for Thursday as well.
- HW6 over 2.5-2.6 goes online tomorrow at 4:00 PM. It is due on Saturday 2/9 at 11:59 PM, so that you have time
to complete the assignment. I would suggest attempting as much of HW6 as you are able ahead of Wednesday's quiz,
so that you can ask questions in office hours and are prepared for the quiz.
- Here is the Study Guide for 2.5-2.6.
- Exam 1 will be on Monday 2/11. It will cover Ch. 1 and Ch. 2 (2.2, 2.3, 2.5 2.6).
- 1/31: HW5 over section 2.3 is now posted to MyMathLab. It is due on 2/5 at 4:00 PM ahead of recitation. There will be a quiz over 2.2 (the Squeeze Theorem only) and 2.3. In particular, make sure you know the definition of a limit
by Tuesday's quiz.
- 1/30:
- 1/28:
- 1/25: Here are the notes from 1/23. Given that we will
be starting (and finishing) 2.2 on Monday, I have extended the deadline for HW3 to 1/31 at 4:00 PM. There will still be a quiz
on 2.2 in recitation on 1/31.
- 1/21:
- Here is the study guide for sections 1.5-1.6 and the first part of section 2.2. We will
be covering these sections on 1/23. Please look over the problems as soon as you are able, so that you have a better
idea of where you stand before class on Wednesday and so you can ask for help on Thursday in recitation.
- There will be a short quiz on evaluating the six basic trig functions (sin, cos, tan, sec, csc, cot) along the unit circle.
The quiz will likely resemble the one I gave to my Math 115 students in Fall 2017.
I expect this to be a review from Precalculus, and that everyone should do well on it.
- HW2 and HW3 will go online starting 1/23. HW2 covers sections 1.5-1.6 and will be due on 1/28 at 11:59 PM. There will be a quiz
on 1/29 over 1.5-1.6. HW3 covers section 2.2 and will be due on 1/30 at 11:59 PM. There will be a section 2.2 quiz on Thursday 1/31.
- 1/17: Here are the notes from yesterday.
- 1/14:
- HW1 is now posted on MyMathLab and due on 1/24 at 11:59 PM. We will have our first quiz on 1/22 over sections 1.1-1.3. The homework is due after the quiz, to allow folks who added the class late time to complete the assignment.
- Here is the Study Guide for Sections 1.1-1.3. We have finished most of 1.1 and will hopefully get through 1.3. Note that we will neither be covering the unit circle nor introducing the basic six trig functions (sin, cos, tan, sec, csc, cot), as this should be a review from Precalculus. Please ask for help if this is not the case. You will have time
on Thursday in recitation to work through this study guide in groups and ask questions. I would encourage you to work through it
ahead of time, so that you can come prepared with questions.

See the ../../webSite/sorm/whitepaper.html for a detailed description of what SimpleORM does and why it is good.
../../webSite/sorm/README.html describes how to build SimpleORM and contains information about the current release.
And see examples/ADemo.java for an example of common usage. The website is www.SimpleORM.org which contains current information. (A local copy is at ../../webSite/index.html).
The code is built by ant, the default task compiles and runs SimpleOrm with the provided Hsqldb database.
Note that most non public declarations have package scope, not private scope. This includes instance variables. Further, the simpleorm jar is not sealed. This means that if you do need to hack SimpleORM you can generally create a new class within the simpleorm.core package with appropriate static methods, and thus not need to change the SimpleORM classes themselves. Of course this is not supported, and make sure you let us know what you did so that we can incorporate the changes into the main package.

Meet Kenya's US-Trained Commandos [PHOTOS & VIDEO]
by John Paul SimiyuUnder the US Department of State’s Anti Terrorism Assistance (ATA) program, an elite paramilitary unit identified as SPEAR was created.
Documents from the State Department's website reveal that the Special Program for Embassy Augmentation Response (SPEAR) team is trained specifically to respond to crises involving US embassies worldwide, but is also available to assist in other emergencies.
Under a Diplomatic Security Service-funded program, a SPEAR team consists of specially selected host-nation police officers who are trained and equipped by the ATA program to respond within minutes.
"Although assigned to provide security support to the US Embassy, the SPEAR team members remain law enforcement officers and are able to respond to other emergencies as they arise," the State Department documents read.
Confused by many to be the gallant Recce Squad unit, this team of responders was seen in action during the Dusit D2 attack in Westlands, Nairobi on January 15, 2019.
This gallant display by the police officers prompted Roberto Bernardo, the acting director in the Office of Antiterrorism Assistance and Supervisory Special Agent in the US State Department, to divulge information about the group.
Bernado, on January 21, 2019, announced that the anti-terror mission had been a success, largely due to the joint efforts of three teams comprised of the Recce Squad, the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU), and the SPEAR unit.
These officers are highly trained in close combat, that is, a violent physical confrontation between two or more opponents at a short-range.
They are also well trained in sharp-shooting, door breaching, hand to hand combat and many other professional skills.
The group is well known for its state of the art weaponry mimicking that of the United State Special forces and other esteemed military and police units.
The Department of State's Antiterrorism Assistance (ATA) Program was initiated in 1983 as a means of providing specialized training and equipment to nations facing terrorist threats.
The State Department clarified that though ATA is not a traditional military training program, it teaches foreign military and police personnel lethal tactics among other skills.
The program has provided training and assistance to over 19,000 law enforcement personnel from 104 countries since its launch.

Edu O'Farrell was a loving husband for 27 years, a father of three daugthers, an amazing brother, uncle, godfather, and friend, an avid tennis player, and a passionate fly-fisherman. Edu was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) in 2015, at the young age of 57. After a long and hard battle which included two surgeries, radiation, and two kinds of chemotherapy, Edu passed away on December 12, 2016. His kindness, strength, loyalty, dry wit, and moral courage are missed dearly by his friends and family who started this team in his honor.
Edu was a lifelong resident of Buenos Aires, and he received all of his treatment at BA's FLENI hospital. Edu had the fortunate opportunity to travel to the US to look into experimental treatments and clinical trials. Although none were right for him, Team Edu is committed to funding research towards new cures for cancer in all its forms. This is why the Team has partnered with FLENI and Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in the US, to raise funds for patient treatment and supoprt as well as cutting-edge research.

A little background first: until the age of 34 ( Iím 37 now ) my entire experience using illegal drugs consisted of five joints which I bought when I was 18 and smoked over a period of a few days. Thatís it: never tried cocaine, heroin or any other opiate, never took a psychedelic substance, nothing.
At age 33 I went into business for myself and started making good money, and by the time I was 34 and a half I was making more money each week than I used to make in three months. My business was internet-related and so I made literally thousands of contacts by email.
The combination of lots of contacts and lots of extra money opened the door to easily buy stuff through greymarket internet dealers, so I experimented a little, mostly with ecstasy and ketamine. I liked the X but hated the ketamine ( I thought I was dead :-> ). Anyway no great shakes, take it or leave it.
One day I found out one of my customers had access to different prescription opiates, strong stuff like morphine, oxycodone and hydromorphone ( Dilaudid ), but also weaker stuff like pentazocine ( Talwin ). To make a long story short, over the course of about a year and a half I went from popping 2-4 pentazocine a few nights a week, to injecting 100mg morphine IM ( in the shoulder ) every night, to injecting oxycodone IV ( from crushed up and dissolved Oxycontin tabs ), to finally injecting crushed up and dissolved Dilaudid tabs IV. Until I started doing the drugs IV I was fine . . . no ( physical ) addiction, no withdrawal, despite the fact I was using the stuff nightly.
What finally hooked me was the RUSH I got from injecting strong opiates IV, and Dilaudid was my drug of choice. The feeling was so good that I made the mistake of not waiting until the next night before doing it again, and I started doing it during the day. From that point on I was lost. I quickly became very physically addicted to the drug, to the point that if more than 4 hours passed since my last shot Iíd start getting uncomfortable; more than 8 hours and Iíd be visibly exhibiting withdrawal symptoms; more than 12 hours and I was into serious withdrawal . . . violent muscle spasms, the whole bit.
Thankfully I didnít feel this very often since I had lots of money to feed my habit which cost me around $1200 per week; whenever I did have a withdrawal episode itís because the stuff was a day late in arriving, and Iím not one to buy stuff off the streets . . . not to mention that itís near-high impossible finding Dilaudid on the streets ( heroin didnít cut it for me . . . tried it once and found its effect very subtle compared to the Dilles, not at all as satisfying to me ).
Between February and June of 2002 my habit occupied all of my time; I was too busy shooting 10 times a day and too busy savoring the effects of each shot to do or even think of much else.  I stopped working, which wasnít a sensible thing to do obviously but logic had flown out the window;everything will be ok, there are no problems at all, even when the world is collapsing around me.
I realized I had a big problem but didnít know what to do about it. Withdrawal symptoms were so harsh I couldnít face them. Yet I could see how much damage I was doing to my life and my family and decided I had to stop.
In July of 2002 I went to a methadone clinic. They were going to hold me as an in-patient for two weeks but only kept me a week when they saw I reacted very favorably to the methadone. I went home and continued my treatment as an out-patient, taking a single dose of methadone every day. This was to continue for about 8 weeks with the dose being tapered every few days so that after 8 weeks Iíd be off it completely, at which point Iím considered ďcuredĒ.
Of course, all that happened was that I used the methadone only as long as it held off withdrawal symptoms, which it did for around 5 out of the 8 weeks. After that I was more or less in a constant state of high anxiety which was bad enough during the day but also kept me from getting any kind of decent sleep at night, and they donít prescribe ANYTHING to help these symptoms, supposedly because mixing methadone with a benzodiazepine tranquilizer like Xanax isnít recommended. This is bullshit in my case as the amount of Dilaudid I was using was dozens of times stronger ( and thus so were the side-effects ) than taking 30mg of methadone with 1mg of Xanax could ever be, and I finally understood that the real reason they wouldnít prescribe anything was because of a feeling that, since I had already become addicted to one substance, I would also become addicted to anything they gave me.
Never mind that I never used drugs most of my life and never had a substance abuse problem ( not even alcohol or even cigarettes . . . more on later later ).
Predictably, I started using again, though nowhere near the amounts I was using before . . . *BUT* I eventually found a way to use not only the same amounts but a little more at a fraction of the cost I was paying the first time ( by that point I was almost broke ). At this new level of use, I found out ( later ) that for the first time people could tell something was wrong. One eye would be half open with the other one slowly opening and closing, as if my body was fighting between staying awake and going to sleep. I wouldnít always have my balance. I didnít feel pain, or I didnít perceive it as pain . . . Iíd bang my shin on the edge of a coffee table hard enough to make everything on the table rattle but had no apparent outward reaction other than saying ďwhoopsĒ or something similar. I would say something to somebody and 5 minutes later say it again as if for the first time ( having already forgotten Iíd said it once already ).
At this point I was living off the money I got for selling my Ďvette.
[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated or tripping is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!] I had two other cars, a winter car and my wifeís car. I totaled one and badly damaged the other; even when I wasnít crashing into things I would climb onto sidewalks with the wheels on one side of the car because I couldnít judge distances too well. In retrospect Iím lucky I didnít kill myself ( not to mention other people ) from my driving alone.
All of this ended on March 30th of this year. Thatís the day I quit it completely. I did it cold turkey: no methadone, no doctorís help, no nothing. My wife took two complete weeks off work to play house-nurse to me because she knew that the first few days Iíd be a basket case and the next few days Iíd be too weak to do much for myself. I wonít go into the details of my withdrawal because this report is long enough as it is; suffice it to say it was hell and I wouldnít wish it on my worst enemy.
But it worked. Iíve been clean since March 30th and feeling completely recovered since around April 30th. I have no cravings at all; in fact all cravings went away on the fourth day after stopping, which surprised the hell out of me. Apparently for me it was really a physical thing, and so it was a question of waiting out the physical recovery as my body re-adapted to living without the drug.
In May I started working out again ( I was an avid bodybuilder for years ) and started working again. I estimate that by the time Iím back on top the drug will have cost me at least two and possibly three years of my life, even though my addiction lasted only one year.
In retrospect I know that the reason I didnít think Iíd get addicted despite everything Iíd read on the subject was because I never got hooked on anything before ( I drink and smoke a few cigarettes most every night before going to bed and have done so for 15 years . . . even the cigarettes didnít manage to hook me and I still never touch them for 21 out of the 24 hours there are in a day ). Now I know that it was just because Iíd never tried a drug that did enough for me, and it was just a question of finding one that did.
I would love to be able to use the stuff responsibly, like on weekends only for example, but am not sure I can so I decided against it.

Thanks for reading about me!


Due to high demand for automation, Microsoft has defined a new role - SDET, which stands for Software Development engineer/engineering in Test, which takes the automation and testing to a whole new level if you need robust, scalable and maintainable test automation framework.
You know. Tester is only a human and humans make mistakes, right? That's why in this day and age is in charge software automation, for more productive, bug-less applications and websites.
Data is the new oil. Like oil, data is valuable, but if unrefined it cannot really be used. That's why we need custom tools for extraction, transformation and load (ETL) in a fully automated way.
It's not only about the technologies, but mainly about the people behind them. (Until robots povered by AI will be able to write code...) I am always excited to work in a team. Working with others generates new ideas, strengthens existing friendships and is just much more fun which can be shared, right?
Do you need to create test automation architecture or framework from scratch on backend or middleware? Feel free to reach out to me.
I was a student at Gymnázium Jura Hronca in Bratislava, Slovakia -Bilingual study. All of the subjects I took, except Slovak language and literature, were taught in English.
I was accepted by University of economics in Bratislava. Since I was always attracted to technology, appart from study, IT related topics were my hobby, until I got my first job in this field.
I’m keeping an open mind about where my future takes me, but if you think I would be a great fit for your team, company or project, let me know! I’d love the chance to talk with you...
