Can a Non-Parent Get Custody of My Kid in Missouri?
Posted Nov 8, 2017 by Emily Fretwell | Tags: child custody, divorce, family law, K.M.M. v. K.E.W.; ED105087, third-party
CAN A NON-PARENT GET CUSTODY OF MY KID?
People have a child or children automatically assuming that they, as parents, have the right to make decisions for the child or children so long as they are minors. This assumption has been reinforced by the United States Supreme Court which has consistently found that parents have a "fundamental" right to direct their child's upbringing and that this right is protected by the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. T.W. ex rel. R.W. v. T.H., 393 S.W.3d 144, 147-148 (M. App. E.D. 2013). The law presumes that parents know what is best for their child and have respected their right to make choices for their child. It is only in extraordinary and extreme circumstances that the Court will intervene and usurp the decisions made by parents.
One of the decisions that parents take for granted is their ability to decide what third-parties can become a regular and central part of their child's life; they get to decide with whom they share their child. By definition, "third-party" does not include the other biological or an adoptive parent, which you're stuck with on at least some level for the most part. Third-party does include any non-biological or adoptive parent such as friends and family and also step-parents, boyfriends, girlfriends, teachers, caregivers, neighbors and any individual who has contact with the child. The court has been unwavering in holding that the custodial rights of the natural parents are superior to that of third-parties. In the Interest of K.K.M., 647 S.W.2d 886, 889 (Mo. App. E.D. 1983).
Historically, you as a parent have had a right to tell a non-parent that he or she cannot see your child and the Court has rejected the idea that any unrelated person can come along and contest your request to stay away by bringing a court action to gain custody or visitation rights to your child. White v. White, 293 S.W.3d 1, 21 (Mo. App. W.D. 2009). There does exist a provision specifically related to grandparent's visitation which is not addressed here but, what is addressed here, is a provision that exists in the law that allows third-parties, non-parents, to petition the court for custody or visitation rights to other people's children, the application of this provision has always been limited. RSMo 452.375.5(5)(a).
First, a case for dissolution must already be pending before a non-parent can even file the request. In effect, this limited the opportunity a non-parent had for asking the court to grant him or her custody of someone else's child. If the biological or adoptive parents never filed for a divorce, there would never be a case in which the non-parent could intervene and make the request for visitation or custody. Second, the non-parent could only get custody or visitation by proving that the parents are unfit or unable to care for the child, or the welfare of the child requires and it would be in the best interest of the child for a non-parent to be granted custody or visitation of the child. RSMo 452.375.5(5)(a).
This all changed in 2012. In 2012 the Court suggested that a third-party custody petition was not limited to circumstances when a divorce case was already pending and that it instead could be brought as an independent action. In re the Matter of T.Q.L., 386 S.W.3d 135 (Mo. 2012). In short, in T.Q.L., a man who was not the father was permitted to bring a third-party custody claim against his ex-girlfriend over a child that he had believed to be his. He was allowed to file this request for custody even though there was no other action pending and despite the fact that DNA testing excluded him as the father of the child.
This was a turning point for third-party custody and because of the growing number of non-traditional families and same sex couples, this area has evolved rapidly since 2012. On October 3, 2017, the Court of Appeals found that a woman had standing to bring a claim for custody over the child of her ex-girlfriend despite having no biological, adoptive or contractual claim to the child. K.M.M. v. K.E.W., ED105087(Mo. App. E.D. 2017). The Court found that the parties had lived together as a family unit and that the significant bonding that existed between them was "a special or extraordinary circumstance" that rebutted the presumption that the biological mother should be allowed to make the decision to no longer allow her ex-girlfriend contact with her child.
While the Appellate Court sent K.M.M. v. K.E.W. back to the trial court for further evidence on the child's best interest and the ex-girlfriend's fitness, the decision was clear that unrelated persons have standing to bring an independent action for custody. Obviously, this begs the question of where will the Court draw the line? Does it only apply to individuals acting in a parental capacity or can it also apply to grandparents, teachers, nannies or any other individual who develops a bonded relationship with the child? This case opens up a lot of opportunity for litigation and we will undoubtedly continue to see development in this area of the law in the near future.

Caroline Dubois would love a shot at Katie Taylor - but says "there's a million people" ahead of her in the queue to face the undisputed lightweight champion.
The 21-year-old will aim to take her professional record to 5-0 when she faces Sofia Alejandra Rodriguez on December 17 in Bournemouth before targeting much bigger fights in 2023.
Dubois is comfortable fighting at 130lbs, 135lbs or 140lbs and Mikaela Mayer is one of a number of options for the youngster next year, which is a fight that could see the winner go on to challenge for Taylor's lightweight belts.

However, Dubois, who is 15 years younger than the Bray Bomber, isn't confident that she'll ever get to share the ring with the 2012 Olympic champion.
She told Sky Sports: "I don't know if that's going to happen, there's a million people ahead of me! But if there's a chance that I can get in contention and be the one to be there, I'll be there, I'll be ready," Dubois said.
"I always say I want to be remembered as a great fighter. Not just a great female fighter but a great fighter in general and I'm seeing it now. I'm seeing those steps coming into play where people are getting respected just for being good fighters and I can't wait to be one of those."

Meanwhile, Eddie Hearn revealed last month that Matchroom are closing in on a deal to secure Taylor her dream Croke Park fight in 2023.
The promoter said: "Katie Taylor at Croke Park, basically we're all over it. It's the only thing we want to do. We're negotiating at the moment with Most Valuable Promotions. We're closing in on a deal.
"Serrano could fight for undisputed [featherweight champion] as well against Erika Cruz in early February. We want to make it happen. Croke Park, we're doing everything we can and I think we'll make it happen."

Lyon Confluence is an example of urban development that has gained widespread acceptance, in which both private and public interests are serving the city, and architecture is conceived in terms of urban livingconcerns. Its success has been due as much to planning as dialogue, andto the open-mindedness of its different actors.
Block H had to first of all take part in this process, within a complex urban dynamic seeking to exploit the peninsula's strategic position, modify the district's vocation and enhance the rivers and landscape.
The project is set in the heart of a heterogeneous context and comprises two distinct entities: 24 housing units in R+9 to the west of the plot, and a temporary accommodation residence in R+6 to the east.
The first stage consisted in 'sculpting' the volume in order to exploit its urban potential and intrinsic spatial qualities.
We began our study with a precise analysis of contextual interactions and the plot's sun exposure. The façade on place Denuzière is divided into different volumes of varying heights to allow light into the heart of the block. Its staggered outline, reminiscent of the famous Halle Tony Garnier, also creates a centralisation of perspective, and echoes the classical composition of the squares that is part of the vocabulary of the city's public spaces.
Over and above functional concerns, the question was not to construct a building but rather to articulate a new urban space combining the public and private, verticality and horizontality, and to respond fully to the expectations and needs of a population.
The attractiveness and success of our project depends on the alchemy between its volumetry and its integration into a complex urban project, but also the delicate balances between the immediate district and the broader environment of the city.
The project's ambition is to 'assemble old and new', to encourage a feeling of cohesion between different historical stratifications through materiality and the project's vocabulary itself.
The project's conception is therefore based on the regularity, clarity of language and simplicity of the envelope. The building expresses its contemporary identity through the composition's principal element, the window. This choice corresponds first of all to a programmatic need: the rooms in the residences follow a regular grid and require two windows for optimum luminosity. And transposing this logic onto the composition of the apartments, they benefit from multiple views and enable the exploitation of the micro-urban situations defined above.
The conception of the window was therefore crucial if it were to fully respond to diverse needs. Depending on orientation and use, the exterior fittings are positioned either on the bare prefabricated concrete, or set back from it, so that the sides of the frame can be used as shutters to shield the sun.
Yet behind this regularity hides a world to be discovered. The ceilings of rooms visible from the street and the loggias of the apartments enliven the regularity of the windows, and seen from a distance the building expresses itself from the interior like a colour chart.
The building's morphology is compact (compactness index: 1), which is crucial for energy management since it reduces the envelope's heat loss surfaces and increases the project's economy by reducing the dimensions of the facades. The building's compactness enables the facades to be glazed above the thermal standard (glazed surfaces/ façade surface = 20%).
This strategy of increasing façade openings was accompanied by a protection and occultation strategy: the windows open onto balconies/terraces regulating sunlight, allowing the winter sun to penetrate and preventing the high summer sun from overheating the interior.


Does walking in the office make good business sense??
We know that sitting all day in the office is bad for our health. So, what can we do about it? Over the next week we will look at some conservative methods we can put in place to reduce our exposure to sitting, but first I thought we would take a look at the "Treadmill Desk". Yes it really exists!! Instead of sitting all day, you can walk at a slow pace and burn some calories in the office. Save you time in going to the gym or walking after work?!So, what is a treadmill desk?? According to Wikipedia, "a treadmill desk, walking desk or treadmill workstation is a computer desk that is adapted so that the user walks on a treadmill while performing office tasks".

Preventing Domestic Violence Is Everyone's Business
Home › Blog › Preventing Domestic Violence Is Everyone's Business
One of the greatest joys of working on a university campus is being surrounded by young adults full of ambition and promise. One of the greatest heartbreaks is knowing that many of them have been or will be the victims of one of the most serious public health issues of our time—domestic violence.
We see the occasional headlines about a celebrity or sports hero accused of hurting or being hurt by a loved one. But the true scope of this public health epidemic is staggering. According to the CDC, nearly 29 million U.S. women and 16 million U.S. men have experienced severe physical violence at the hands of an intimate partner at some point in their lifetime. And most of these experiences occur before the age of 25.
The evidence is clear that domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence, takes a physical and emotional toll on individuals, families and communities. Those exposed, both directly and indirectly, are at a greater risk of mental health disorders, infectious and chronic diseases, and premature death. And the global annual cost in lost productivity, health care, and law enforcement is estimated to be in the trillions.
While substantial resources have been invested in victim support programs and raising public awareness, we still have little understanding of the policies, programs, and actions that can prevent domestic violence before it happens and remove "victim" from our vocabulary.
As a nation that holds dear the values of personal safety and individual promise, we can no longer settle for reactive approaches. We must rigorously and relentlessly pursue pathways to preventing domestic violence before it permanently damages another generation of young lives.
One thing is certain: Solutions will only come when we work across disciplines and sectors, not simply to raise public awareness but to examine and broadly implement evidence-based prevention strategies. The good news is that other areas of public health are already seeing the benefits of such a collaborative approach.
Earlier this year, Harvard Business School and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health joined the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in convening corporate leaders to explore the benefits to society ― and the bottom line ― when corporations invest in programs to address health issues. Numerous CEOs shared the results of their companies' cross-sector collaborations to create a culture of health.
For example, Intel Corporation partnered with local health care providers in Portland, Oregon, to use its expertise in supply chain management to improve treatment paradigms for conditions such as diabetes and lower back pain. The result was not only improved health in the community, but also reduced health care costs for Intel employees, which ultimately saved the company money.

Which debts can bankruptcy wipe out?
On behalf of Janssen Law, PLC on Thursday, July 13, 2017.
If you find yourself among the many Iowans who feel they are drowning in overwhelming debt, first, know that you are not alone. Second, recognize that it is not at all uncommon to rack up a considerable amount of debt, and that it does not indicate that you are a failure in any way, shape or form.
Your bankruptcy filing may, too, may eliminate unpaid rent or utility bills, and in some cases, it can even cover expenses relating to car accidents and associated expenditures.
Every bankruptcy case is different, however, so what one person can eliminate may prove different than the next person. While many people file for bankruptcy to eliminate credit card debt, whether filing for bankruptcy will erase your own credit card debt might depend on your spending habits. For example, it might look bad if you spend more than is typical just before filing for bankruptcy. Such an action may make it look as if you spent the money with the notion that you were going to file for bankruptcy soon, and you would therefore not have to ever actually pay it. If there is evidence of excessive spending leading up to your filing, you may find that creditors are unwilling to discharge certain expenditures.
While this information about debts bankruptcy can eliminate seeks to inform you, every case is different, so please do not consider this a replacement for legal guidance.

Radio-Electronics.Com – Rich Communication Services RCS: Evolution not Revolution
by Jill Flett | 8th August 2014
Rich Communication Services RCS: Evolution not Revolution
Alex Duncan, CEO Openmind gives some key insights into the way RCS Rich Communication Services technology is developing and how it will be used.
The mobile industry seems to be incredibly focused on searching for a business case for Rich Communication Services (RCS). At the moment, operators are wrestling with justifying the upfront investment in an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) platform required for RCS, irrespective of what else they plan to do with their IMS
Despite this ongoing cynicism, several recent events may provide operators with an added impetus to look at RCS once again. First of all, China Mobile, the world's largest carrier by subscribers, recently revealed it will trial RCS. Delivering IP messaging, voice and video services to such a large number of subscribers could go a long way to disproving the RCS doubters.
Secondly, the GSMA has unleashed an initiative designed to help operators address, and navigate, the complexities of progression to an all-IP network – Network 2020. Thirdly, and perhaps most significantly, Facebook made the move to acquire WhatsApp for $19 billion. The social media giant's largest acquisition to date makes the OTT messaging space even more pervasive, in terms of the new communities such a merger will enable around the world.
Alex Duncan, CEO at Openmind, is a firm believer that RCS is the only way in which operators can re-engage users. He feels that RCS can meet users' current expectations of messaging capability and usage – which have been set by OTT providers. RCS supports operators in the development of messaging services that are comparable to the likes WhatsApp. Fundamentally, RCS is the platform which enables operators to retain relevancy in the minds of customers.
Rewinding RCS
Rich Communication Services, RCS is a technology that was born to halt fragmentation and interoperability issues arising in IP-based communications. Previously, IMS vendors tended to take their own approach to launching IP-services. As a response to this trend, the GSMA launched RCS as a vehicle to enable mobile operators all over the world to provide a standardised, uniform approach to IP-communications. RCS is the development of messaging, voice and video capabilities from a legacy circuit switched network environment to an all-IP one.
The GSMA's initiative to drive Rich Communication Services in the market, Joyn, has been impacted by a lack of expenditure in IMS infrastructure by operators. There has been some more limited investment in IMS for certain use cases – such as Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) to deliver fixed line services to customers; and for Enterprise IP Private Branch Exchange (IP-PBX) to provide internal phone systems to multi-national corporations. But the financial downturn in the market has created an exceedingly difficult environment for operators to make any investment, let alone in in IMS-based RCS.
The RCS initiative came under the control of the GSMA in 2008, off the back of a growing industry initiative in 2007. Early conversations in industry circles tended to centre on how RCS could be leveraged by operators to compete effectively against OTT players. Thankfully, this 'them against us' discussion has now evolved. Many now take the view that the communication services operators provide must be enhanced. The feeling is that these services must now incorporate the richer feature set that OTT apps already deliver. This is a positive development, as the debate about operators using RCS to compete against OTTs completely misses the point.
Mobile operators are increasingly going to deliver IP-based communication services as they provide the experience users have come to expect from OTT apps. While there is no monetary business case for RCS, it does have a business case in providing a user experience to enable operators to reduce churn and support customer retention. As operators undergo this transformation, OTT players will continue to deliver their own voice, video and messaging services.
RCS – the Reality
The messaging market has increasingly been invaded by OTT players, such as Line, Skype and WhatsApp. Operators are aware they cannot change this fact, or face down OTT competition by deploying RCS. OTT messaging services have been able to establish themselves with consumers simply because they're more attractive and, importantly, they are free. This is a notion that many operators struggle to compete with. However, operators should not be concerned about going to market with 'free' Rich Communication Services.
The transition to RCS is now much smoother and the costs much lower than originally perceived. In the long run, RCS provides many of the features that users have come to expect from OTT players. The difference is that mobile players can deliver them with higher reliability and superior service quality than OTT providers could hope to provide. This is what can enable operators to re-intermediate themselves with consumers.
In a bid to improve their offering to customers, operators have focused heavily on deploying LTE to boost data speeds. LTE also enables operators to charge a premium for these higher data rates and reap larger data revenues – as LTE users consume a lot more data. This move is beneficial to RCS, as many operators moving to LTE have opted to deploy Voice over LTE (VoLTE). Embracing VoLTE enables voice, data and video services to be more cost effectively, and simply, delivered over a single IP network. VoLTE also acts to protect operators' voice revenues as they can, once again, charge a premium for higher quality HD voice calls. But why is this relevant to RCS?
Both VoLTE and RCS share the same IMS investment and capabilities, thereby spreading the CAPEX burden between the two services. If an operator has made this initial investment in IMS for VoLTE, it is then a straightforward and affordable process to install an RCS application server into the network. Operators moving to VoLTE have completed the heavy lifting in the network. The initial IMS integration and cost is taken care of, so why not add in Rich Communication Services into the offering too?
A further market boost for RCS comes in the form of its next iteration from the GSMA – Crane. Crane combines both RCS and VoLTE into a single client which can be embedded onto the handset. As part of its Network 2020 initiative, the GSMA is making the 'green button promise' for Crane. The green button is typically the one that users press to make a voice call. This button is associated with high quality services and interoperability. The GSMA feels that it is a fundamental requirement to embed these principles in all IP-based operator services as well. The mobile operator trade body agrees with the point of view that this approach is the only way to fulfil customers' expectations that services initiated by the calling or messaging buttons – will be high quality and fully interoperable, regardless of network.
Some operators have even chosen to take an approach to RCS which removes the network from the equation completely. A hosted Rich Communication Services solution, in which a hosting provider delivers the entire range of RCS services through the cloud to the operator, enables a rapid launch of RCS services into the market. Subscribers can begin to use RCS services and the operator can make a judgment on what is, and is not, working with no large-scale CAPEX outlay involved. After taking this route, the operator can bring RCS into the network and scale it up as RCS market traction improves. This approach unearths real advantages for operators – as they will know what RCS services will be effective for them – prior to making any major IMS investment.
It is this set of market factors which is enabling the previously panned RCS to finally take a foothold in the global market. Indeed, 55 operators have committed to launching RCS this year and 85 players have said that they will launch the technology by 2015, according to the GSMA.
Resurgent RCS
It is a healthy time for RCS. Market factors are driving its growth and operators are coming to the conclusion that RCS enables them to retain relevancy with their customers – not compete more effectively against OTT rivals.
RCS gives operators the ability to deliver features, such as presence and location information capabilities, which are directly comparable to OTT functionality – which has proved to be incredibly popular with subscribers in the market. If operators can achieve that same look and feel as OTT services, they can begin to stop the perception among consumers that they are the poor relation of OTT providers. They can work towards encouraging users into an ongoing interaction with operator controlled messaging applications. RCS will offer subscribers greater choice and flexibility in the way they communicate, but will run in tandem to OTT messaging, voice and video apps. This also comprises in-app messaging, WebRTC-based apps and traditional SMS/MMS and circuit switched voice, for the time being.
In reality, Rich Communication Services is the only viable route operators can take to satisfy user expectations, via the relevant services they are used to. Offering these new IP services also enables operators to support a sustained revenue line – not a significant increase – and gives operators the table stakes needed for customer retention. It is more likely that any efforts to monetise RCS will come from applications developed by operators, through their own Application Network Interface (API) ecosystem, for vertical industries and consumers.
However, RCS isn't about delivering a competitive response to OTT service providers. It's going to happen because it is a technological evolution of messaging and voice, with new video services, in an IP world, that delivers a much richer and expected user experience.

SAE Brisbane Lecturer Stephane Elmosnino has published his first book, titled Audio Production Principles: Practical Studio Applications.
With 15 years of industry experience (eight of those teaching), Stephane was well equipped to impart his knowledge on a larger scale. Inspired by students who suggested Stephane write a book, the idea grew organically from there. While the subject matter (Audio Production) came easily to Stephane, the book took five years to complete due to his desire to accompany the text with audio examples and instructional diagrams - all of which were drawn by Stephane after teaching himself to use Illustrator and InDesign.
And it's not just students who reap the reward of Stephane's hard work; he has found the project a valuable addition to his ongoing professional and creative development. "Writing the book has complemented my current audio practice, it makes me a better teacher and producer" he says.
"I have created Audio Production Principles for students and professionals alike. I have included tips and tricks, you don't just read this book, it fosters critical engagement," explains Stephane. "I believe in the power of practice based learning, it's how we teach at SAE and how the reader should interact with the book".
SAE congratulates Stephane on this outstanding achievement. It is both a testament to his dedication and skill.
Stephane's book Audio Production Principles: Practical Studio Applications is published by Oxford University Press and is available for purchase now HERE.

Q: Create Crystal Reports with C# and Access database I want to use Crystal Reports in my C# application with Access database. i used this code to generate the report.
        con.Open();

        OleDbCommand Cmd = new OleCommand("SELECT * FROM Article", con);

        DataSet Ds = new DataSet();
        OleDbDataAdapter dscmd = new OleDbDataAdapter(Cmd);
        dscmd.Fill(Ds, "Article");

        CrystalReport7 objRpt7 = new CrystalReport7();

With a large area cleared from Sea Vipers spot and even more area on the other side opposite COTD. What do you think should be Sea Vipers replacement?
A doctor who dark ride.
They could easily come up with an adventure which had something to do with monsters under the Sea!
A rollercoaster themed around a mythical sea creature (any sea creature really) would be good. I know land is an issue for the park, but a coaster like Manta would be great, in my opinion.
Blue Sky: I would love to see an indoor coaster reminiscent of Space Mountain themed around submarines and deep ocean exploration. Something that is thrilling for enthusiasts and thrill seekers, while still being tame enough for family. They could then make that corner of the park themed around marine science fiction (is that the right wording for this?), as Jet Rescue could easily blend in to that theme.
Realistic: Sea World is severely lacking in flat rides, so viewing this in a realistic sense I hope that they use that space to add maybe one or two decent flat rides that can help flesh out a day at Sea World. Maybe a Zamperla Regetta or Mack Sea Storm?
I don't think this would work. Just because it has an aquatic antagonist doesn't mean that it fits with Sea World's on thematic style. Franchises such as the The Avengers at Disneyland's Tomorrowland work because at their core, they share a solid foundation with the park's/themed area's own aesthetic. Think about it for a second. Iron Man is basically a marvel in engineering, helicarriers that can go invisible and alien invasions are inherently science fiction based, therefore they work in a science fiction themed area. Dr Who is, at it's core, Science Fiction / Science Fantasy. Does this match with Sea World's aquatic theme? Not really.
A dark ride themed on polar bears or something similar like the Penguin dark ride at orlando. Not likely to happen but it would be nice.
Why bother when there are real Polar Bears on the other side of the park?
It's my answer to the question this thread is about!
I think it matches Sea Worlds aquatic theme just as well as Bermuda Triangle did, and just as well as the mythical Creatures of the Deep do.
It is a theme park after all.
Because it's a theme park! Why have animatronics of sharks, when there are real sharks in the park?
Because Megladons don't exist anymore, and some species of Sharks and whales aren't practical to keep in captivity.
Exactly, I mean are there Whale sharks and Great White sharks at Sea World?
Aside from the fact that the Antarctica ride is basically seen as a miss, purely from a theme point of view it makes no sense to have the same thing duplicated on the other side of the park. For my taste, I'd like to see MACK given a call and given the chance to create one of those brilliant launched coasters they do so well.
I don't think you realise how niche the Dr. Who following is. Children (except those with Whovian parents) are generally not interested.
Bermuda Triangle fits the aquatic theme as it is inherently an oceanic myth. The legend of the Bermuda Triangle originated from the disappearance not only planes but ships as well. Not to mention the fact that the Bermuda Triangle is an area predominantly occupied by ocean. This works at Sea World as it has the legend has its roots with the ocean.
The same can be said about Vikings Revenge. Vikings are notorious not only for warfare and pillaging, but also for their naval exploration. They have roots tied directly to the ocean.
Dr Who doesn't have any connection to the ocean what so ever. Sure, one episode may feature an aquatic antagonist but that is not enough to link the two together; it doesn't have those oceanic roots that the legend of the Bermuda Triangle and Vikings have. Without those roots, it feels half-assed and a mess.
I don't like the idea of a giant indoor coaster at Sea World. Movie World gets away with 'plain blank shed' because you can stick "Stage 47" on it and suddenly it's a "Soundstage".
Bermuda\Storm's building (other than the Volcano) is only single storey. Even SWR is only 2 storeys tall. An indoor rollercoaster is probably going to need a little more room, and height - and I think a great hulking building in the middle of the spit is just going to ruin the skyline.
A coaster track outdoors isn't such an eyesore. Any coaster SW builds has to be predominantly 'outdoor' in my opinion.
I like 'indoor darkride' but it would have to be a lowset attraction.
Otherwise i'm all in for decent flatrides that don't take up a lot of space but still have great capacity.
Dr Who is polarising. I think Jacob is minimising their fanbase just a little, but i think regardless of how popular (or not) we might perceive the franchise to be, I don't think for a moment it is in any way suitable for sea world, and the idea should end there without getting near a drawing board... in my opinion.
I get what you're saying. In a park with predominantly low lying buildings, it would be quite odd to see a plain white shed that's 20 metres or so tall sticking out like a sore thumb, but there are options. They could easily theme a show building and make it fit into it's surroundings, or even go a step further and make most of the show building underground, as this would keep consistency with the rest of the park and would be much more approachable when it comes to theming.
Care to give some examples?
Digging down is a bit nightmarish at Sea World due to the soil and water table.
Hmm. Well I would be willing to bet my life savings that's not the case!
However I get that you're not especially interested in it and that's fine. The following is absolutely massive though, by people of all ages.
I have no idea of any of Sea World's geological problems. These are all just ideas at the moment.
I don't want to get derogatory here, but whilst I acknowledge the size of Dr. Who's fanbase I struggle to find breadth in the type of person that watches it. That is, the segment is homogeneous (niche?). Furthermore, I believe this type of person is not necessarily the one Sea World actively targets.
Again, I certainly don't want to cause offence, just putting my two cents in.
If you'd said Dr Who at MW, then that would be more fitting. But at SW, no.
With the park already having two forms of coasters and a kids coaster opening soon, I can't really see SW building a new one. I think the variety in sea creatures is really good as well. I defiently don't think a dark ride would be a good idea, as the building wouldn't look right in the space. I know the park had one before and there are height limitations, but maybe a new Sea World Eye would be an idea. When it originally opened I thought it was a great addition and the views it provided were great. I think the site needs some flats rides. Maybe the area behind COTD where there is just gravel, could feature some flat rides, themed to this area.
I'll throw it out there..
why doesn't VRTP utilise their licencing agreement with DC and theme a ride to Aquaman.
With the character appearing in 4 movies over the next 4-5 years what is now a somewhat unknown character will soon be mainstream, and fits the Parks theme very well.
I'd love them to either make the cinema a proper 4D one like moveiworld, replace it with a motion simulator, or scrap it all together. In regards to the SeaScrewCorkViper space, a couple of flat rides that could cater for a wider range of people and still fit an ocean theme could work. Even something like this.
Is that the same model as our travelling Scorpion?


Kirkinner Bowling Club had a very successful final tournament of the year with 17 pairs playing for the Andy Dodds Memorial Trophy, which was sponsored by The Bladnoch Inn.
The winners were Robert and Dougie Bark, who beat Kevin McGuire and David Steel in a six-end final.
The cup and prizes were presented by Andy Dodds.


A New Jersey woman who was a registered Democrat wrote her own obituary where she asked her family and friends, "In lieu of flowers, please do not vote for Hillary Clinton." Elaine Fydrych's obituary has exposed more than political corruption. It has exposed moral corruption among the press who think freedom of the press means the freedom to censor the truth to suit their own agenda (see also CBS). The Philadelphia Inquire omitted that line about Hillary from her death notice. They had no explanation as to why it was omitted. The family has contacted the ACLU.
This shows just how anti-freedom the press really is. It seems to be news only when it supports their view.
PS Elaine – You did go out with a PUNCH.

This is a cross-post from the Mozilla Hacks article I originally wrote in July 2014.
Do you ever look code and murmur a string of "WTFs?" Yeah, me too. As often as not, the code is my own.
I have spent my entire professional career trying to write software that I can be proud of. Writing software that "works" is difficult. Writing software that works while also being bug-free, readable, extensible, maintainable and secure is a Herculean task.
Luckily, I am part of a community that is made up of some of the best development, QA and security folks in the industry. Mozillians have proven themselves time and time again with projects like Webmaker, MDN, Firefox and Firefox OS. These projects are complex, huge in scope, developed over many years, and require the effort of hundreds.
Our community is amazing, flush with skill, and has a lot to teach.
"How can we, as developers, write more superb software?"
Since shipping software to millions of people involves more than writing code, I approach the question from many viewpoints: QA, Security and development have all taken part.
The target audience is anybody who writes software, regardless of the preferred language or level of experience. If you are reading this, you are part of the part of the target audience! Most questions are high level and can be applied to any language. A minority are about tooling or language specific features.
How do other developers approach writing high quality, maintainable software?
What does "high quality, maintainable software" even mean?
What processes/standards/tools are being used?
How do others approach code review?
How can development/Security/QA work together to support each-other's efforts?
What matters to Security? What do they look for when doing a security review/audit?
What matters to QA? What do they look for before signing off on a release?
What can I do, as a developer, to write great software and facilitate the entire process?
I present the highlights of one or two interviews per article. Each interview contains a short introduction to the person being interviewed followed by a series of questions and answers.
Where an interview's audio was recorded, I will provide a link to the full transcript. If the interview was done over email, I will link to the contents of the original email.
Now, on to the first interview!
The first interview is with Fernando Jimenez Moreno, a Firefox OS developer from Telefonica. I had the opportunity to work with Fernando last autumn when we integrated Firefox Accounts into Firefox OS. I was impressed not only with Fernando's technical prowess, but also his ability to bring together the employees of three companies in six countries on two continents to work towards a common goal.
Fernando talks about how Telefonica became involved in Firefox OS, how to bring a disparate group together, common standards, code reviews, and above all, being pragmatic.
What do you and your team at Telefonica do?
I'm part of what we call the platform team. We have different teams at Telefonica, one is focused on front end development in Gaia, and the other one is focused on the platform itself, like Gecko, Gonk and external services. We work in several parts of Firefox OS, from Gecko to Gaia, to services like the SimplePush server. I've personally worked on things like the Radio Interface Layer (RIL), payments, applications API and other Web APIs, and almost always jump from Gecko to Gaia and back. Most recently, I started working on a WebRTC service for Firefox OS.
How did Telefonica get involved working with Mozilla?
Well, that's a longer story. We started working on a similar project to Firefox OS, but instead of being based on Gecko, we were working with WebKit. So we were creating this open web device platform based on WebKit. When we heard about Mozilla doing the same with Gecko, we decided to contact you and started working on the same thing. Our previous implementation was based on a closed source port of WebKit and it was really hard to work that way. Since then, my day to day work is just like any other member of Telefonica's Firefox OS team, which I believe is pretty much the same as any other Mozilla engineer working on B2G.
You are known as a great architect, developer, and inter-company coordinator. For Firefox Accounts on Firefox OS, you brought together people from Telefonica, Telenor, and Mozilla. What challenges are present when you have to work across three different companies?
It was quite a challenge, especially during the first days of Firefox OS. We started working with Mozilla back in 2011, and it took some time for both companies to find a common work flow that fit well for both parts. I mean, we were coming from a telco culture where many things were closed and confidential by default, as opposed to the openness and transparency of Mozilla. For some of us coming from other open source projects, it wasn't that hard to start working in the open and to be ready to discuss and defend our work on public forums. But, for other members of the team it took some time to get used to that new way of working, and new way of presenting our work.
Also, because we were following agile methodologies in Telefonica while Mozilla wasn't still doing it, we had to find this common workflow that suits both parts. It took some time to do it, a lot of management meetings, a lot of discussions about it. Regarding working with other telco companies, the experience has also been quite good so far, especially with Telenor. We still have to be careful about the information that we share with them, because at the end of the day, we are still competitors. But that doesn't mean we cannot work with them in a common target like what happened with Firefox Accounts.
When Mozilla and Telefonica started out on this process, both sides had to change. How did you decide what common practices to use and how did you establish a common culture?
I think for this agile methodology, we focused more on the front end parts because Gecko already had a very known process and a very known way of developing. It has it's own train mechanism of 6 weeks. The ones doing the most, the biggest effort of finding that common workflow were the front end team because we started working on Gaia and Gaia was a new project with no fixed methodologies.
I don't know if we really found the workflow, the perfect workflow, but I think we are doing good. I mean we participate in agile methodologies, but when it turns out that we need to do Gecko development and we need to focus on that, we just do it their way.
In a multi-disciplinary, multi-company project, how important are common standards like style guides, tools, and processes?
We do a lot of code reviews about code style, but in the end what you want is to land the patch and to fix the issue. If you have code style issues, I want you to fix them, but if you need to land the patch to make a train, land it and file a follow on bug to fix the issues, or maybe the reviewer can do it if they have the chance.
Firefox OS is made up of Gonk, Gecko and Gaia. Each system is large, complex, and intimidating to a newcomer. You regularly submit patches to Gecko and Gaia. Whenever you dive into an existing project, how do you learn about the system?
I'm afraid there is no magic technique. What works for me might not work for others for sure. What I try to do is to read as much documentation as possible inside and outside of the code, if it's possible. I try to ask the owners of that code when needed, and also if that's possible, because sometimes they just don't work in the same code or they are not available. I try to avoid reading the code line by line at first and I always try to understand the big picture before digging into the specifics of the code. I think that along the years, you somehow develop this ability to identify patterns in the code and to identify common architectures that help you understand the software problems that you are facing.
When you start coding in unfamiliar territory, how do you ensure your changes don't cause unintended side effects? Is testing a large part of this?
Yeah, basically tests, tests and more tests. You need tests, smoke tests, black box tests, tests in general. Also at first, you depend a lot on what the reviewer said, and you trust the reviewer, or you can ask QA or the reviewer to add tests to the patch.
Let's flip this on its head and you are the reviewer and you are reviewing somebody's code. Again, do you rely on the tests whenever you say "OK, this code adds this functionality. How do we make sure it doesn't break something over there?"
I usually test the patches that I have review if I think the patch can cause any regression. I also try and run the tests on the "try" server, or ask the developer to trigger a "try" run.
OK, so tests.. A lot of tests.
Yeah, now that we are starting to have good tests in Firefox OS, we have to make use of them.
What do you look for when you are doing a review?
In general where I look first is correctness. I mean, the patch should actually fix the issue it was written for. And of course it shouldn't have collateral effects. It shouldn't introduce any regressions. And as I said, I try to test the patches myself if I have the time or if the patch is critical enough, to see how it works and to see if it introduces a regression. And also I look that the code is performant and is secure, and also if, I always try to ask for tests if I think they are possible to write for the patch. And I finally look for things like quality of the code in general, and documentation, coding style, contribution, process correctness.
You reviewed one of my large patches to integrate Firefox Accounts into Firefox OS. You placed much more of an emphasis on consistency than any review I have had. By far.
Well it certainly helps with overall code quality. When I do reviews, I mark these kinds of comments as "nit:" which is quite common in Mozilla, meaning that "I would like to see that changed, but you still get my positive review if you don't change it, but I would really like to see them changed."
Two part question. As a reviewer, how can you ensure that your comments are not taken too personally by the developer? The second part is, as a developer, how can you be sure that you don't take it too personally?
For the record, I have received quite a few hard revisions myself. I never take them personally. I mean, I always try to take it, the reviews, as a positive learning experience. I know reviewers usually don't have a lot of time to, in their life, to do reviews. They also have to write code. So, they just quickly write "needs to be fixed" without spending too much time thinking about the nicest ways to say it. Reviewers only say things about negative things in your code, not negative, but things that they consider are not correct. But they don't usually say that the things that are correct in your code and I know that can be hard at first.
But once you start doing it, you understand why they don't do that. I mean, you have your work to do. This is actually especially hard for me, being a non-native English speaker, because sometimes I try to express things in the nicest way possible but the lack of words make the review comments sound stronger than it was supposed to be. And, what I try to do is use a lot of smileys if possible. And always, I try to avoid the "r-" flag if I mean, the "r-" is really bad. I just clear it, use use the "feedback +" or whatever.
You already mentioned that you try to take it as a learning experience whenever you are developer. Do you use review as a potential teaching moment if you are the reviewer?
Yeah, for sure. I mean just the simple fact of reviewing a patch is a teaching experience. You are telling the coder what you think is more correct. Sometimes there is a lack of theory and reasons behind the comments, but we should all do that, we should explain the reasons and try to make the process as good as possible.
I am pretty critical with my own code so I can't really think about a snippet of code of my own that I am particularly proud enough to show :). But if I have to choose a quick example I was quite happy with the result of the last big refactor of the call log database for the Gaia Dialer app or the recent Mobile Identity API implementation.
What open source projects would you like to encourage people to participate in, and where can they go to get involved?
Firefox OS of course! No, seriously, I believe Firefox OS gives to software engineers the chance to get involved in an amazing open source community with tons of technical challenges from low level to front end code. Having the chance to dig into the guts of a web browser and a mobile operative system in such an open environment is quite a privilege. It may seem hard at first to get involved and jump into the process and the code, but there are already some very nice Firefox OS docs on the MDN and a lot of nice people willing to help on IRC (#b2g and #gaia), the mailing lists (dev-b2g and dev-gaia) or ask.mozilla.org.
How can people keep up to date about what you are working on?
I don't have a blog, but I have my public GitHub account and my Twitter account.
A huge thanks to Fernando for doing this interview.
The full transcript is available on GitHub.
In the next article, I interview Brian Warner from the Cloud Services team. Brian is a security expert who shares his thoughts on architecting for security, analyzing threats, "belts and suspenders", and writing code that can be audited.
As a parting note, I have had a lot of fun doing these interviews and I would like your input on how to make this series useful. I am also looking for Mozillians to interview. If you would like to nominate someone, even yourself, please let me know! Email me at stomlinson@mozilla.com.


Since your wife dragged you to a counselor, you have decided to lay low like a floor. You have not touched liquor in like three weeks, which is eternity in your universe. You have not seen any of your boys, neither have you called them. They laughed at you so hard that you could be blackmailed to attend a counseling session.
You get home not later than 7 pm. You eat what the wife serves, even if it is some lifeless cabbage, to the point of licking the plate. You even help with the cooking. You help Farrah do her homework. You watch news quietly and you are in bed by latest 10 p.m. You do your husband duty with devotion and discipline. You are flawless. Except that you are not, not in the eyes of Carol.
Lately, she knows how to work your nerves. She will look for the smallest reasons to provoke you. I think part of the reason men exist is to figure out what women want. No man ever succeeds.
For instance, when you get home, you have this good habit of taking off shoes and leaving them outside, taking of the sox and throwing them by the door. That little thing boils Carol's blood like crazy. Every day she lectures you but she doesn't seem to know that you are a poor student. What is exactly wrong with leaving the pair of socks by the door? Equally by the time you sleep, you have this human habit of throwing the clothes on the floor. But Carol wants you, despite the physical and mental exhaustion to walk down the corridor to where the clothes' basket is and neatly tuck them there. Yet it is something you can do when you wake up in the morning, or when the floor is full. Or because it is her with the problem, she can as well as take them down the corridor, but she likes quarrelling and creating such a mess with that that you can't even touch her when she comes to bed.
Wedding vows are overrated. When she married her, you both swore that you will stand each other for better or for worse. But Carol neither can stand you at your best nor your worst.
Even when you just want to chill on the sofa, she will find something to complain about.
"Don't walk around in your shorts in the house," she yells at you when you walk around in your below-the-knee-length shorts. Neither can you walk around in a T-shirt. If you eat and you forget to take your plate to the kitchen sink, for an hour or two, Carol will make a scene. If you forgot spreading the bed, because you read somewhere that intelligent and creative people don't spread their bed, Carol will freeze goods.
Carol is not necessarily evil. But she is too picky, too neat, too organised for a disorderly creature like you. Now, you also want to take to a counselor to tell her to chill and stop taking life too seriously. Otherwise, she may never live to enjoy life as she should.
How do you make a wife spontaneous, lively and easy to be with?

Annual Dinner : David Purdie on the Scottish Enlightenment
The Scottish Enlightenment was a flexibly-defined period extending over a hundred years to beyond the death of Walter Scott during which Edinburgh was the intellectual centre of Europe. Voltaire claimed that it was to Scotland that the world looked for all its ideas on the nature of civilisation, and the number of advances emanating from the city was certainly remarkable, extending to whole new disciplines.
Consider a conversazione that took place at Sciennes House in 1787. Gathered there were Adam Ferguson the founder of sociology and James Hutton who inaugurated geology by taking on the Church about its teachings on the origin of the world. Young Walter Scott aged just 15 was expecting a career in his father's law office since the possibility of becoming a writer had not yet beckoned, but he was already collecting ballads such as Sir Patrick Spens : later he would invent the historical novel, operating like a surgeon on the narrative while keeping the body of the drama alive. David Hume philosopher, historian, economist and essayist sought to create a naturalistic science of man that opposed the theological argument for God's existence while proclaiming that reason is and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and appropriately died shortly afterthe Declaration of Independence - his good friend Ben Franklin attended the signing thereof on the very date and time(4pm here, 11am in Philadelphia, on 4 July 1776) of Hume's last dinner party at home at the south-west corner of St Andrew Square. Pride of place in the assembled company however lay with a visitor from the west, Robert Burns whose works now brought together in the Kilmarnock Edition ensured that Edinburgh would be the city of not only science and philosophy but also prose and poetry.
The regard with which Edinburgh was held would continue from the Enlightenment right up to the present day. Einstein hailed the genius of Clerk Maxwell for its influence on his own works, and a poll among scientists found the three greatest of all time to be Isaac Newton for the theory of gravity, Clerk Maxwell for that of electro-magnetism and Einstein for relativity – while Watson-Watt should be remembered for the wartime role of radar in saving civilisation itself. One in four youngsters in today's Edinburgh is a student, and the University of Edinburgh is reckoned to be one of the sixteen greatest in the world, with only the USA and Israel rivalling Scotland for graduate output.
The world has seen three Enlightenments – first ancient Athens, then renaissance Florence and finally on the verge of modern times our own Scottish one here in Edinburgh.
