Katherine Hague is the Co-Founder of ShopLocket and The Blueprint, recently acquired by PCH International. Prior to founding ShopLocket and The Blueprint Katherine worked as an independent digital media consultant and in a variety of marketing positions for Toronto startups; including a Shopify Theme developer and as Marketing Manager at ecobee, a smart thermostat company. Katherine helped started the Canadian Maker Passport, and worked the trade-show floor at CES many years running.
I got into the tech industry as a teenager, by organizing entrepreneurial conferences. I later started my own marketing company and worked in marketing for a smart thermostat company. I got my start in e-commerce by creating a Shopify theme (at the time there were only 72 in the store, now there are 15,000+). This idea helped lead to the development of ShopLocket, an e-commerce tool that allowed you to start selling online in minutes, risk free.
Tell us about The Blueprint. What inspired the idea and what is your vision for the company?
TheBlueprint.com is an online retail destination and discovery platform for the next wave of consumer electronics. The Blueprint was born out of our acquisition by PCH International. We (ShopLocket) were acquired in January of 2014 with the intention of becoming the e-commerce and community arm for PCH International. Our vision for the company is to grow and become a well-known destination for consumers to learn about and purchase the latest tech to charge their life.
What strategic partnerships have you implemented that have attributed to The Blueprint's success?
Our partnership with our parent company PCH International has been instrumental to our success. Out of curiosity and interest, I took a solo trip to Shenzhen, China last fall to meet with Liam Casey, the founder of the organization. I originally found out about PCH International, at Montreal's Startup Fest where I met Brady Forrest of Hwy1 (our startup incubator). We connected over our shared work with hardware entrepreneurs, and he later connected me with PCH International. We've also formed some incredible relationships with visionary hardware entrepreneurs and influencers (i.e. Chris Anderson, Dale Dougherty, Carl Bass, Limor Fried etc.) through our Blueprint interview series. This has helped us gain credibility in the space as well as create connections.
I'm noticing a trend with connected devices and wearables being designed specifically for women. For example, we've seen the Tory Burch and FitBit partnership, and Angela Ahrendts (former CEO at Burberry) being hired at Apple as clear signs of changing times. One of our customers favourite products on our website is Ringly - bluetooth connected jewellery that lets your put your phone away and your mind at ease. We are capitalizing on this trend by connecting with women in this space like Deepa Sood, founder of Cuff.io and others for interviews, and choosing wearables to sell in our store that women would actually want to wear.
"If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today? And whenever the answer has been "no" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Your greatest success as founder of The Blueprint? Most difficult moment-how did you overcome and what did you learn?
Our greatest success has been our ability to build a global community of people interested in learning about the next wave of tech. We have over 160,000 community members from 88 countries who go to our social media channels, and subscribe to our email list to learn about the latest news and our insights on the industry.
Our most difficult moment is finding the right way to communicate with our audience about the category of super early technology products that we stock. There is a big learning curve for consumers around new technologies and in order to combat this we have had to develop extremely rich content and details on the products we're selling.
My advice to aspiring entrepreneurs is to build your network before you need it. Start going to conferences and events, and meeting influential people before you need their help. This has been so helpful for me in hiring the right people, making key connections and building my company.
I absolutely loved my trip to the Dell Women Entrepreneurship Conference in Istanbul a couple years ago. What an amazing city! If you're going to Turkey, don't miss Cappadocia as well.
Water. It's the good stuff.
Besides growing a thriving company I've really gotten back into fitness and dance in the past few months! It has given me so much new energy.
What's next for The Blueprint?
Katherine launched ShopLocket in May 2012 and The Blueprint in 2014, and raised a $1 million seed round last summer led by Peter Thiel's Valar Ventures and Rho Canada. The Blueprint now provides thousands of hardware and product entrepreneurs a simpler solution for selling online. The company is dedicated to providing resources to the hardware community through its interview series and Crowdfunding Guide. Katherine is a graduate of the Schulich School of Business and HackerYou and was recently named one of Canada's 7 Tech Stars by the Financial Post, and one of 5 Women to Watch in Wearable Tech.
Katherine is very active in the startup community and is committed helping other young entrepreneurs succeed. You can find Katherine online at katherinehague.com or on Twitter @katherinehague.

Lament - 11 November 2007
13 November, 2007 By Gregory Cowan
I have had some interesting meetings this past week.
On Friday I was at the Ministry of Construction, for two meetings about developing construction education. The morning was a gathering of construction industry representatives, lamenting the underpreparedness of construction graduates. One person at the meeting called for better pay for graduates, while others suggested the government do more research, claiming that the present consultation was too brief. In the afternoon meeting, the various construction colleges represented suggested that they should be working more closely with professional associations to assess skill shortages and demand for graduate qualities. They suggested the government do more research for them.
On Thursday I had helped to convene a new working group on Building Access in Mongolia. The meeting, hosted by the VSO director at the NGO headquarters, was also attended by the Wheelchair Users association, three architecture students, two teachers, and two translators including Bishrel, VSOs new champion for mainstreaming disability. Chuuluundolgor, the first mentioned representative, was carried up the stairs to the top floor meeting room. We agreed to work with the designers of the future VSO office accommodation, and to disseminate and further develop information about access standards already developed by the Wheelchair Users association. Existing accommodation standards were elusive and unenforceable, but the architecture students agreed to make a small presentation on incorporating accessibility in their designs. We also discussed an approaching action whereby fourteen wheelchair users would visit five public venues on international disability day, the 3rd of December.

Live at the Apollo, 2001. From the album For Your Pleasure (1973).
And in the Clyde Auditorium, Glasgow, this year.
Over the years, this music has assumed a somewhat different meaning from when it was first created in the early '70s; cf. this performance, which most critics would significantly and in my view wrongly prefer. Even the name of the band has done so. My essay on Ferry and Roxy (in Swedish) explains some of the reasons why. The early Roxy songs are now performed, and, above all, we now experience their performance, against the background or in the light of the whole of Ferry's development.

Olsztynski Editorial: Technology Is Great, But ...
Supply chain management is about vision more than electrons.
In the old, unlamented Soviet Union and other Eastern bloc nations, it was not uncommon for beleaguered citizens to endure three long lines to make an everyday purchase. Many stores were set up so that shoppers had to stand in one line to order the goods, queue up in another to pay for them, then line up once again to pick up their order. Made no sense at all, but the oppressed people had to put up with such nonsense for seven decades before the idiotic system got overturned.
Some capitalist world transactions seem almost as inane from a certain perspective. A typical supply house purchase might originate with an outside salesperson, who calls it in to an inside counterpart, who relays the order to a warehouse picker, who conveys the goods to a shipping clerk, who passes them on to a truck driver. Even more parties come into play if the order includes items not in stock. At least five and maybe more individuals have to do their jobs right in order for the customer to get what he wants in timely fashion. Even when that happens, all those handlers increase the odds of mistakes cropping up on the invoice or with inventory subtraction or some other recordkeeping. When you think of all the opportunities for supply mismanagement, it's a wonder any order gets handled without a glitch.
This has been the PHCP industry's modus operandi for more than a century. Wholesalers are beginning to understand the inefficiencies built into this process and change is coming about. But oh so slowly.
Computer technology has a big role to play in modernizing PHCP supply, but industry leaders are visibly frustrated at the snail's pace of progress. Source ASA+ has been in effect for more than three years and is still nowhere close to critical mass. ASA President Jack Hester, speaking on a panel at the AIM/R Conference in Key Largo, FL in April, said that only 42 manufacturers had responded to letters sent to some 250 companies asking for UPC codes and other data needed to electrify transactions. Wholesalers are hardly the only ones to blame for the industry's backwardness.
Cutting To The Quick
When you ask insiders why progress lags, their answers do not lend themselves to easy summation. Most simply don't know or at least fail to articulate a coherent excuse. Some blame it on their companies' outmoded computers or lack of training on how to use them. A consensus at the recent Prophet 21 Summit in Orlando was that P-21 users on average are tapping only about 35% of the capabilities offered by the system. I suspect the folks at NxTrend and Eclipse would come up with estimates in the same ballpark. Why does all that computing power go to waste? A panel discussion at the P-21 Summit found many wholesalers lamenting the fact that they hardly get past the training wheel stage before the press of everyday business puts a halt to their locomotion.
If only we could get up to speed with our hardware and software, by golly, our business is going to get well, goes their underlying thinking. Yet, while modern computer technology offers a big potential boost to supply chain efficiency, it's not a miracle cure for supply chain ailments.
It's good to remind ourselves of the old GIGO paradigm. Computers are only as good as the information fed into them. By extension, automating supply chain tasks will do you some good only if those tasks make sense. In too many cases, it's not the technology or lack thereof that's wanting, but underlying systemic problems.
Learning From Wal-Mart
Consider the success story that is Wal-Mart, now the nation's largest corporation in revenues. People who analyze the retail giant generally see them reaching the pinnacle through extensive use of technology such as bar coding, wireless scanning and EDI. These same tools have been equally available to the PHCP supply chain. Why haven't more of our industry's wholesalers adopted them? Why hasn't at least one wholesaler pulled off a category-killing breakthrough to industry leadership a la Wal-Mart?
The answers probably have to do with management vision more than electrons. Wal-Mart adopted those technological innovations in the context of broad management commitments that enabled them to maximize the benefits of technology. Wal-Mart originated the "big box" format that increased the amount and kinds of merchandise available. They committed to an everyday low pricing strategy. They cross-trained employees to work in different departments as needs arose. They used the stupendous sales data generated to train, assess and motivate employees. None of these concepts stem from technology per se, although technology was aimed to help bring them about.
Before technology can be used to modernize the PHCP supply chain, what needs fixing are antiquated ways of thinking about how goods need to be ordered, handled, tracked and distributed.

Resident Evil Village Gets Some Scary (And Hairy) New Screenshots
Resident Evil Village has received some pretty terrifying new screenshots.
Village was unveiled during the PS5 showcase in June to much fanfare. ike Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, the game is played from a first-person perspective. Unlike that game or the rest of the series, though, Village will feature horrifying werewolf-adjacent enemies to deal with. Based on key art, it appears even Chris may have a werewolf form.
Capcom has released three new Resident Evil Village screenshots. Ethan is probably not going to want to tangle with these enemies without some kind of weapon. Check out the images below.
Besides the art direction, the screenshots are impressive simply because of the amount of detail. Village is by far the best looking game in the series, as we would expect from a next-generation experience. Also in an update to IGN, Capcom said it feels Village is "an accumulation of all the best elements of Resident Evil games from the past 25 years." If that's true, Village should be an unforgettable experience. Resident Evil 7 was a step in the right direction for the series, bringing back genuine scares and a tense feeling of survival.
Village is coming to next-gen consoles and PC in 2021. However, Capcom said the game might appear on PS4 and Xbox One as well, but "no promises." Of course, since the game is being made with next-gen in mind, the absolute best experience will be on those consoles and the recommended PC specs. 2021 will be a good year for Resident Evil fans. Not only is Village releasing, but a new CG Netflix show will debut.

Give Your Attendees Unprecedented Insight Into Their Customers
A Rich History of and for the People
Paul has had a rich history of speaking in front of an audience – whether on screen or on stage. For Paul, it's always been about communication.
He talked his way into the news business where he learned to listen to the witnesses, craft and then deliver an accurate story to the public, sometimes under strenuous deadlines. He became a live shot reporter, anchor, and then producer. Years later, he leveraged that experience to form Kirwin Communications. He and his team listened, learned and presented a company's new sports technology to retail salespeople, sometimes in 7 different languages.
In 2002, Paul had an idea. Why not bring this type of training online? Brands could have an easy platform to disseminate their message, and retail salespeople could complete the training at their convenience. He called it 3point5, which is the optimal distance between a salesperson and consumer during a floor conversation. 3point5 became Experticity and grew to be the largest online training company in America.
As a news anchor for KTVX in Salt Lake City.
Realizing that consumers trusted the opinions of buyers and now buyers could publish directly to the public, Paul took it to the next level. In 2010 he started Channel Signal, which collects and measures consumer product reviews. By listening to the Voice of the Buyer, brands become more consumer-centric, build loyalty and improve ROI as a result.
As Seen At:
You're in for an Experience
From the news business to today, Paul has always been about listening to and communicating with people. When you hire Paul to speak at your event, people listen. Why? Because Paul knows people. But "people" are an in depth topic and there is much to say. Paul doesn't just give a few pre-planned speeches. He tailors interactive, actionable, funny and moving talks to your event and your audience.

Since June 2014 every local authority has a chief executive (formerly called a county or city manager) who is employed to manage their local authority. Some local authorities share a chief executive.
As well as the chief executive, some councils also have deputy chief executives. After consultation with the Cathaoirleach of the local authority, the chief executive may appoint a council employee as deputy chief executive to act on their behalf while they are on leave or absent.
In situations where the chief executive is temporarily unable to act and there is no deputy chief executive, Section 148 of the Local Government Act 2001, as amended by the 2014 Act, allows the cathaoirleach or the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government to appoint a council employee as deputy chief executive temporarily. This temporary appointment may be terminated at any time.
Chief executives are recruited through a competitive recruitment process organised by the Public Appointments Service. Where a position of chief executive becomes vacant the Minister is required to appoint someone to the position temporarily until a permanent appointment to the position is made. Such a temporary appointment may be terminated by the Minister at any time.
Once appointed, the chief executive will remain in office for a term of 7 years (although this can also be extended by an additional 3 years). The retirement age for chief executives is 65.
If a council wishes to suspend or remove a chief executive, a resolution must be passed by the council. At least three-quarters of the councillors must vote for the resolution. The Minister then sanctions the removal of the chief executive.
It is normal practice that the chief executive of a local authority delegates some functions to other staff in the local authority. The elected council must be notified of any delegated functions. However, the chief executive still remains responsible for the acts of the delegate and can take back (that is, revoke) a responsibility that has been delegated. The chief executive has the ultimate responsibility for ensuring the local authority operates smoothly and for carrying into effect policy decisions of the elected council.
Every local authority elects a Cathaoirleach (or Chairman/Mayor.
Members of local authorities are called 'councillors'. Role, responsibilities and appointments.

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) fire cupping is a method of applying acupressure by creating a vacuum on the patient's skin to dispel stagnation – stagnant blood and lymph, thereby improving the flow of Qi (气) to treat respiratory diseases such as the common cold, pneumonia and bronchitis. cupping also is used on back, neck, shoulder and other musculoskeletal conditions. cupping is not advised over skin ulcers or to the abdominal or sacral regions of pregnant women. It is also highly recommended to drink plenty of water after cupping to help move the blood and other fluids through the affected area, general massage is able to help reduce the bruising immediately after the cupping. The discoloration left by the cups is normally caused by the painless bruising due to the dispel of stagnant blood.
cupping therapy involves a partial vacuum created in cups placed on the skin either by means of heat or suction.
Suction Cups produce vacuums on the body's surface by manually withdrawing the air through a suction gun, rather than the traditional way of burning up oxygen. If you think of massage in terms of positive pressure (pressing in on body tissues), then you can think of massage Suction cupping as a negative pressure, drawing body tissues outward from the body, to stimulate them with a reverse massage.
Warm up glass cup by burning inflammable material pre-soaked in alcohol inside the cup.
In weak cupping, the fire used in this method is less intense and therefore so is the suction, making it a gentle treatment that can be used on patients of any age. This method is intended to remove stagnation and tonify weak Qi and Blood without depleting energy in the weak or frail. This cupping method will improve stress conditions, and the overall constitution of the body. Weak cupping is said to be effective for excess Heat conditions, such as stress, stomach problems, or neurological conditions such as paralysis and post-stroke weakness.
Suction in medium cupping is firmer and can be safely administered to children over age 7 as well as adults. Muscular pains, stress-related conditions, children's ailments, and the basic constitution of the body can all benefit from medium cupping treatments. The term "tonifying" from Traditional Chinese Medicine means it will also act in enhancing and improving the basic constitution of the body.
The suction in this method is the firmest and therefore drains energy from the patient. Because strong cupping is considered to manipulate significant amounts of Blood and Qi, it often leaves marks on the patient. The purpose of such a treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine would be to remove toxins and imbalances that cause diseases and to improve blood circulation. This method also treats painful, swollen joints as well as Frozen Shoulder Syndrome.
Moving cupping applies strong cupping therapy to a larger area of the body. Cups may be moved while attached, with the cream acting as lubricant. This allows for cupping larger areas, or better placement of cups. When moving a cup, grip the cup low on the bowl, and use the fingers of the non-pulling hand to gently hold the skin taut behind the cup as it moves. Often used on the Bladder Channel on the back. Traditional Chinese Medicine considers moving cuppingeffective for excess Heat conditions of the skin, such as acne, skin lesions, and inflammation. It benefits neurological conditions such as paralysis and post-stroke weakness and painful swollen joints, by manipulating excess energy and bringing up the Heat to the surface of the skin.
By targeting the meridian channels, cupping strives to 'open' these channels – the paths through which life energy flows freely throughout the body, through all tissues and organs, thus providing a smoother and more free-flowing qi (life force).
Xin Hua Physician will diagnose base on your conditions and recommend appropriate treatment.
By placing cups in different spots, it can be used to treat different conditions.

Q: Dynamically loaded module causes Angular `` to display twice The solution to this is somewhere in Angular <router-outlet> displays template twice, but I'm unable to apply it because my example differs due to dynamically loaded modules.
I have a nested <router-outlet> setup;

*

*localhost:4200/login renders the LoginComponent in the top-level component, AppComponent

*localhost:4200/main renders the MainComponent in the top-level component, AppComponent

*

*MainComponent contains a <router-outlet> in which LeafComponent is rendered.

The app-structure:
app.component.ts       <router-outlet>
components/
    login/
        login-component.ts
    main/
        main-module.ts
        main-component.ts       <router-outlet>
        components/
            leaf-component.ts

The following is taken from app.module and works iff main-module is not dynamically loaded. I.e. it only works if main-component is instantiated.
const redirectUnauthorizedToLogin = () => redirectUnauthorizedTo(['/login']);
const redirectLoggedInToMain = () => redirectLoggedInTo(['/main']);

const appRoutes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'login',
    pathMatch: 'full',
    component: LoginComponent,
    canActivate: [AngularFireAuthGuard],
    data: { authGuardPipe: redirectLoggedInToMain },
  },
  {
    path: '',
    component: MainComponent,
    canActivate: [AngularFireAuthGuard],
    data: { authGuardPipe: redirectUnauthorizedToLogin },
    children: [

      { path: '', redirectTo: '/main', pathMatch: 'full' },
      // ----> Render leaf-component in main-component <router-outlet>
      {
        path: 'main',
        pathMatch: 'full',
        component: LeafComponent,
      },

    ],
  },
  { path: '**', component: PageNotFoundComponent },
];

This works. But when dynamically loading the LeafModule, the MainComponent is rendered twice. I.e. it does not work when main-module is dynamically loaded and then main-component is instantiated.
const appRoutes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'login',
    pathMatch: 'full',
    component: LoginComponent,
    canActivate: [AngularFireAuthGuard],
    data: { authGuardPipe: redirectLoggedInToMain },
  },
  {
    path: '',
    component: MainComponent,
    canActivate: [AngularFireAuthGuard],
    data: { authGuardPipe: redirectUnauthorizedToLogin },
    children: [

      { path: '', redirectTo: '/main', pathMatch: 'full' },
      // ----> Dynamically load leaf-module
      // ----> Render leaf-component in main-component <router-outlet>
      {
        path: 'main',
        pathMatch: 'full',
        loadChildren: () => import('./components/main/components/leaf/leaf.module').then(m => m.LeafModule)
      },

    ],
  },
  { path: '**', component: PageNotFoundComponent },
];

Solution Details
@inge-olaisen's suggestion solved my problem but I wanted to add some detail here for completeness.
My mistake was not appreciating that a dynamically loaded module MUST(?) have a route, even if that route just loads the default modulel:
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { LeafComponent } from './leaf.component';

const routes: Routes = [
    {
        path: '',
        component: LeafComponent,
        pathMatch: 'full',
    },
];
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        RouterModule.forChild(routes),
    ],
    exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class LeafRoutingModule { }

This still seems a little redundant since because there are no routes. But because I want to lazy load the component, I must add them.
I also used separate routing modules which did make things clearer.
Finally, Angular 8 | Nested Routing with Multiple RouterOutlet using loadChildren having own Router Modules Example Application, is probably the simplest and most complete example of nested routing with lazy-loaded modules out there (IMO). It also uses a recent version of Angular and thus the new load loadChildren: () => import('./foo.module').then(m => m.FooModule) syntax. It also has a StackBlitz demo.

A: We're missing some key information. Does the leaf.module have it's own router module? A leaf-routing.module.ts for instance. That routing module should in turn have pathmatching for '' which loads the LeafComponent.
If you don't have that routing module, the module doesn't know which route to look for and I'm assuming the problem is the same as the person you linked to had, but instead you're missing the '' path for the LeafRoutingModule.

Ce que les auditeurs disent de The Assassin's Blade
After reading throne of glass I wasn't a fan of Cealana but a friend told me to read this and that « you'll understand her better » and glad she was right. This was amazing. Perfect story telling, perfect character building, perfect ennemis to lover slow burn, perfect perfect perfect.
And the narrator was AMAZING too, got me right to the chest with her rhythm and her voice.
LOVED THIS EVEN THO IM IN TEARS NOW
Awesome book and awesome writer
I've listened to this book series so many times I can't remember. I have these books at home and I've read them all 3 times but I listen to them on audible when I'm just chilling!!
Worth the read!
Some sections seemed a bit slow for my liking but overall I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I cried my eyes out, I laughed out loud and I was truly shocked by the twists at the end. I went from hating the main characters, to having a deep understanding for her, I care for her deeply and am very keen to find out more. Very well written!
Excited to listen to the rest of the book series.
The story was so well written. Kept me on the edge of my seat all the time. Could not wait to finish it.

Note for jailbreak users: Well if you're jailbroken on iOS 8.4 or below and care about jailbreaking, you may want to stay clear of iOS 9 for now. Currently there's no public jailbreak available for it yet. Yes, iH8sn0w and others have already demonstrated an iOS 9 jailbreak but there's no word on when or if they plan on releasing it. You've been warned.
Don't care about jailbreaking and want to update to Apple's latest and greatest iOS version? Read-on on how to go about preparing your device for iOS 9.
First thing first, check whether your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is compatible with iOS 9. The good news here is that all devices which are compatible with iOS 8 are compatible with iOS 9 as well.
The newly announced iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6s, iPad Pro, and iPad mini 4 are also obviously supported.
With a new major iOS update coming, now is the time to do a little house cleaning on your iOS device by removing any unnecessary apps that you don't use, photos you don't need and so on. We have a comprehensive guide on how to free up storage space on your device that you can check out here: 10 Tips To Free Storage Space On iPhone, iPad [Guide].
Starting with iOS 9, Apple recommends setting six-digit Passcodes instead of the usual four-digit Passcodes that we have all been used to setting since last many years. While this is not compulsory, it's still a good practice to adopt and now will be a good time to think of a new six-digit Passcode that is easier for you to remember so that you can set it immediately once you upgrade to iOS 9 on Wednesday.
Make sure you backup all of your data. Now you can save all of your data manually too by copying different stuff individually to different cloud services or locally to your computer. But the easier and recommended way to go about backing up is to use Apple's own iCloud or iTunes methods which will basically backup everything on your device that you can later restore to when needed. Here's how.
Step 1: Connect your iOS device to a WiFi network.
Step 2: Now connect the device to a charger.
Step 3: Navigate to Settings -> iCloud -> Backup and turn on the iCloud Backup toggle. Now tap on Back Up Now to create a full backup of your device to iCloud.
Step 1: Connect your iOS device to a PC or Mac and launch iTunes.
Step 2: First transfer your App Store or iTunes purchases by navigating to File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. If you are on Windows, you may want to first press Alt key on the keyboard for the File menu to show up.
Step 3: Once the purchases have been transferred, navigate to File > Devices > Back Up to start the backup process of your device on your computer.
Yes, SHSH blobs aren't as useful as they once used to be. But it wouldn't hurt to save them anyway just in case they become useful in the future again for downgrading and jailbreaking purposes. You can use TinyUmbrella to save SHSH blobs for your current iOS 8.x firmware.
If you don't care about jailbreaking, you can give this step a pass.
Apple will flip the switch on iOS 9 update for everyone on Wednesday, September 16. We'll post about it as soon as it goes live worldwide. You can stay tuned to us by following us on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ or subscribe to our RSS feed or Push Notification (if you're on Mac) and other channels to know as soon as iOS 9 is available to download.
Ive got iOS 9 Public Beta 3 on my iPhone 6. Now its prompting me to instal the new version. Now if ill update it, it wont allow me to instal the final version of iOS9 and restore backup.
If I don't then will it allow me to instal the final version of iOS9 or not? I don't wanna stay on beta versions anymore. My phone contains a lot of data and when I try to restore it back to 8.4.1 it doesn't restores backup as backup created on a new version of iOS which is understood. Please help/advice.
in that case, you will need to first restore back to iOS 8.4.1 and wait for update on Wednesday. You can't upgrade from betas to final version via OTA and it's not recommended way of installing the final release of major iOS update anyway.
Q1. If I backup my phone on iOS9 Beta 3 and then restore it to 8.4.1 on Wednesday and then install the final version of iOS9, will it restore the backup?
Q2. If I install GM now and then restore the backup, will it work?
Q3. If I simply just wait for the final release. Back up my phone and then clean install the latest OS, will that work?
1. any backup made on iOS 9 won't work on iOS 8.4.1. In short, backups made on newer firmwares are not compatible on older firmwares.
2. if you make a backup now on iOS 9 beta 3 and restore on GM, yes it should work.
3. yes that should work too.
If iOS 9 is like the 9 GM, just don't bother. It is buggy, unstable, crash…..
If you want iOS 9 install iOS 9.1 beta.

Home Opinion My Interview with Arnold Kling
My Interview with Arnold Kling
Isadore Johnson
In an effort to promote ideological and intellectual plurality on campus, I've been making a conscious effort to interview public intellectuals, especially those whose ideas don't get talked about much on campus. Starting conversations about challenging topics, and engaging with work from people outside one's own tribe is important to learning.
This week, I sat down to interview Dr. Arnold Kling. Kling is an American economist, scholar, and blogger. His blog, askblog focuses on "taking the most charitable views of those who disagree." Kling is a prolific writer who is well known for writing 'The 3 Languages of Politics: Talking Across the Political Divides.' Kling has lived a fascinating life going from teacher to internet entrepreneur, to an Othello champion, to an economist at The Federal Reserve. My interview with him (I'm in bold) is below. Enjoy reading!
You've been an independent teacher, writer, and Substacker for the last 20+ years. What's that like? What do you value most about working for yourself, and what do you miss?
I value the control over my time. Any day that I want to just go off and ride my bicycle all day, I can do it. Not having a boss is a big quality-of-life issue. But a lack of institutional resources limits what I can accomplish. Something like fantasy intellectual teams would be more viable if I had a big organization behind it.
You've worked a lot of different career paths. What wisdom has this taught you that perhaps other economists would not consider? Which jobs did you find most intellectually satisfying?
I've acquired a sense of how organizations actually function.  For most economists, the firm is a black box, or a machine. I've had a peek inside the black box.  By far the most intellectually satisfying periods were when I was working at Freddie Mac and when I had my Web-based start-up, homefair.com. At Freddie, I learned about the intersection between business culture and technology.  I also learned that large organizations are very complex. But I learned so much it's hard to summarize. Similarly, with web-based business was an intense learning experience. The software innovations were just exploding at the time–this was 1994-1999. And nobody knew what business strategies were viable–it was all guesswork, with trial and error. But both the Freddie Mac experience and the HomeFair experience were very stressful emotionally. If you care a lot about your ideas, you run into conflict with people who have different ideas, and that creates a lot of anguish.
Tell me about your book, 'The Three Languages of Politics: Talking Across the Political Divides.' Has it held up well into the 2020s, what are its self-professed strengths and weaknesses? What inspired you to write it?
I wrote it because I noticed that most political punditry was not oriented toward changing anyone's mind. Instead, it was trying to reinforce each political tribe's negative image of other tribes. I think that basic insight has held up. Also, the simple characterization or progressives as obsessed with oppressors vs. oppressed, conservatives as obsessed with the fragility of civilization and the threat of reverting to barbarism, and libertarians as obsessed with the problem of state coercion has held up well. But I did not see the Trump phenomenon coming, which emphasized a conflict between those whose educational credentials make them feel superior and those who resent the college-educated overclass.
You've created a Fantasy Public Intellectual League…. What is the purpose for doing this? Tell me more about how that functions!
Well, I tried it, but it probably was ahead of its time. The intent was to change the process by which public intellectuals gain status. Right now, thanks to the incentives to produce clicks, success is correlated with expressions of outrage. I wanted to create measures of careful thinking, such as steel-manning opposing points of view, showing a willingness to change one's mind, and offering caveats to one's claims. Then I wanted to get consumers of public intellectual writers to keep track of these characteristics, rather than just mindlessly liking the folks they agree with.  The burden of doing the scoring turned out to be too high for me to sustain.
Who are your favorite public intellectuals, and who would you recommend to the college students who are starting their intellectual voyages?
One of my favorites is Scott Alexander, because he is so careful about evaluating research on a topic.  Emily Oster does that, also.  I am in awe of Razib Khan, who seems to be able to absorb an enormous number of books and other intellectual inputs. Tyler Cowen is another information sponge.  Jonathan Turley is someone I do not follow closely, but when I ran the Fantasy Intellectual Teams project, he was one of the best at understanding and respecting opposing viewpoints. Julia Galef is a model of trying to look at an issue from as many sides as possible.  Russ Roberts is great at asking Devil's Advocate questions on his econtalk podcasts. John McWhorter is someone who is trying to change a person's mind, not play to a gallery of supporters. Yascha Mounk features many different and interesting points of view on his Persuasion substack. Joseph Henrich is one of the most interesting academic researchers.  Coleman Hughes is the opposite of a dogmatic loudmouth. Really, there are many great minds out there–you just have to shut off Twitter and go find them.
Who do you often disagree with who you consider brilliant?
Tyler Cowen expresses a lot of ideas that sound outlandish. I think he hopes that some of them will turn out to be right, even though not all of them will. I often disagree with his ideas at first, but then sometimes I change my mind. Andrew Sullivan expresses himself fervently, and when I agree with him, I like that. But I do disagree with him on some things. He and Jonathan Rauch overstate the negatives about Donald Trump, in my view. Conversely, there are those who understate those negatives, but I don't have any strong Trump supporters among my mental list of great minds. Rauch and Sullivan are on that list, and they both frustrate me at times, and I have written about that, particularly about Rauch.
Do you have an economist rival, competing for your niche?
Maybe Noah Smith? There is another one who sometimes impresses me with insights and at other times frustrates me with smugness. I would say the same about Matt Yglesias.
A lot of the most interesting economists I see are at some point affiliated with GMU (for example, Stringham, Caplan, Hanson, Boettke, Roberts, etc.). Why is that?
My sense is that sometime in the late 20th century GMU became a haven for Austrian economics. This attracted a number of heterodox and libertarian thinkers, folks who were more intellectually entrepreneurial than the typical MIT grind. I think that Tyler Cowen played a very big role, because he has strong instincts about who will be both original and productive. My guess is that his opinions about who to hire and who not to hire were the key to building that community.
What do you think is not taught enough of in economics to college students? What do you think universities teach too much of?
Not enough about all of the implications of complex specialization. It isn't just 2×2 comparative advantage.  I have a book, "Specialization and Trade", that tries to do that. Too much reliance on the production function, which aggregates all different sorts of occupations into labor and all sorts of tangible goods and intangible resources into capital.
What is the crisis of abundance? Why does it matter? Can anything be done?
If you arbitrarily restricted medical care to only those procedures and therapies that were available in 1975, health care would be pretty good, and we could easily afford it. At the margin, we have added a lot of treatments without corresponding improvements in health. I'm not saying that we should ration health care so severely, but I think that promising people unlimited access to medical services without having to pay out of pocket sets us up for a lot of over-use of resources for diagnosis and treatment.
What does being highly successful at an intellectual board game like Othello do to one's thoughts? Cowen comes to mind as another blogging chess libertarian. Do board games have an effect on the type of economist one is?
I think it can help you appreciate that in a game like that, luck plays essentially no role and the status hierarchy is extremely fair.  You can then use that to think about whether in other realms of life, such as business or academia, how does the competition for status become less rigorous?
You made an intellectual journey over time to libertarianism… Why? To someone less libertarian than you, what would you say to encourage them to be more libertarian? To someone more libertarian, what would you say to tone down their extremism?
I think that working in business had a lot to do with it.  You appreciate the high ratio of the unknown to the known.  In academic economics, you write down a known demand curve and a known supply curve.  In the real world, everything is much fuzzier than that.  And if the people inside the business cannot write down their demand curve but instead have to fumble around, how can you expect government officials to know enough to fix policies correctly?  So I start to worry not about making the optimal decision, but about which process evolves more effectively–the market process or the government process.  And I soon decided that the market was better at experimenting, evaluating, and evolving in a world where the ratio of unknown to known is high.
Libertarians have to appreciate that in a complex world, there is a lot of need for governance.  Some of it comes from private entities, but some is best done by monopoly governments.
What do you think about rationalism? Objectivism? Austrian economics? Which fringe intellectual movements do you like most? Which ones do you think are fruitless?
Not sure what you mean by rationalism. If you mean the intellectual approach of Scott Alexander and Julia Galef, then I like it a lot.  It may not even be fringe.  Jonathan Rauch advocates something like it, for example.  Rand's objectivism feels too dogmatic and certain to me.
Austrian economics is good on the ideas of economic complexity and roundabout production.  Instead of taking all information as known, it emphasizes the economic discovery process.  Austrians have a better appreciation of public choice issues.  Ironically, the one thing that Hayek got the Nobel Prize for–Austrian business cycle theory–holds little or no appeal for me.   To be relevant, I think Austrian economists need to immerse themselves less in Mises and more in the world.

Q: Gulp, vinyl-fs and error "TypeError: isStream is not a function" I have a gulp file that up until relatively recently was working fine, but has started just throwing an error. I'm unsure of the best way to debug this, and google has not been of any help, so am looking for ideas on what might be wrong.  The gulpfile has the following task defined (I've removed some other tasks to try and simplify this)
/// <binding AfterBuild='moveToCss' />

var gulp = require('gulp');

var paths = {
    npmSrc: "./node_modules/",
    cssTarget: "./wwwroot/css/",
};

var cssToMove = [
    paths.npmSrc + '/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css',
    paths.npmSrc + '/datatables.net-bs/css/dataTables.bootstrap.css',
    paths.npmSrc + '/datatables.net-select-bs/css/select.bootstrap.css'
];
gulp.task('moveToCss', function () {
    return gulp.src(cssToMove).pipe(gulp.dest(paths.cssTarget));
});

but when I run this I get the following error:
[13:52:27] Using gulpfile C:\MyProject\gulpfile.js
[13:52:27] Starting 'moveToCss'...

    at Stream.ondata (stream.js:31:26)
    at emitOne (events.js:77:13)

Can anyone suggest anything? Either ideas for what might be wrong or ideas for how to diagnose the issue...?

A: Since you seem to directly access files from the node_modules folder, the first thing I would try is to erase the entire node_modules folder and reinstall all dependencies in case you inadvertently fraked something up.
If that doesn't help the offending line is here. isStream comes from the ./lib/isStream module which does nothing more than export a function. How you can end up with a TypeError: isStream is not a function message in that context is a bit of a mystery to me.
The only thing I can think of that could be of help is to add some debugging output. In C:\MyProject\node_modules\gulp\node_modules\vinyl-fs\node_modules\vinyl\index.js add the following right before the offending if statement:
console.log(require('util').inspect(isStream, { showHidden: true, depth: null}));

That should at least tell us what type isStream is at the time the error is thrown.

• Accuretic is a treatment for high blood pressure.
• You should take Accuretic regularly to get the maximum benefit, even if you are feeling well.
• If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet. See section 4. Most people do not have serious problems when taking Accuretic but side effects can occur. If you experience swelling of the face, tongue or throat, see your doctor immediately.
• Taking other medicines may sometimes cause problems. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this or any other medicines.
• If you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant or are of child bearing potential and not using adequate contraception, do not take Accuretic and tell your doctor.
The name of your medicine is Accuretic 10/12.5 Tablets but will be referred to as Accuretic throughout this leaflet.
Accuretic is used to treat high blood pressure.
Accuretic contains the active ingredients quinapril and HCTZ. Quinapril belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. ACE inhibitors work by widening blood vessels in the body, which can help to reduce the pressure in the vessels.
HCTZ belongs to a group of medicines called diuretics. Diuretics help the body to get rid of extra fluid and are used in patients with high blood pressure. Because they get rid of fluid diuretics are sometimes called 'water tablets'.
• If you are allergic to quinapril, hydrochlorothiazide, any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6), similar drugs or to a group of antibiotics called sulphonamides.
• If you are more than 3 months pregnant. It is also better to avoid Accuretic in early pregnancy - see 'Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility' section.
• If you have kidney disease or are experiencing problems passing water (anuria).
• If you have an obstruction in your heart that slows blood in the heart.
• If you have hereditary (inherited)/idiopathic (unknown cause) angioneurotic oedema (a swelling of the face, tongue or throat which causes difficulty breathing).
• If you have a history of angioedema relating to previous treatment with an ACE inhibitor.
• You have aortic stenosis (narrowing of the main blood vessel from the heart).
• You have liver disease.
• You are of African-Caribbean ethnic origin.
• You are having, or about to have desensitisation treatment, i.e. to reduce the effects of an allergy to a bee or wasp sting.
• You must tell your doctor if you think you are (or might become) pregnant. Accuretic is not recommended in early pregnancy, and must not be taken if you are more than 3 months pregnant, as it may cause serious harm to your baby if used at that stage (see 'Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility' section).
• You are breast-feeding or about to start breast-feeding.
• You have diabetes or gout.
• You have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) an allergic condition which causes joint pain, skin rashes and fever.
• You have a salt or electrolyte imbalance in your blood (e.g. sodium or potassium), your doctor may want to monitor you more closely.
• You experience visual disturbances and increased pressure in the eye. Symptoms of increased pressure in the eye are intense pain, redness of the eye, headaches, tender eye area, misty vision and loss of vision.
If this is not treated, it can lead to permanent loss of vision.
- an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARBs) (also known as sartans - for example valsartan, telmisartan, irbesartan), in particular if you have diabetes-related kidney problems.
See also information under the heading 'Do not take Accuretic'.
• Angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) or aliskiren (see also information under the headings 'Do not take Accuretic' and 'Warnings and precautions').
• Corticosteroids (including hydrocortisone, dexamethasone or prednisolone) and ACTH (tetracosactide) or drugs known to reduce the amount of potassium in the blood.
• Procainamide (used to correct irregular heart beats), cytostatic drugs (cancer therapy), immunosuppressants (for the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis), allopurinol, uricosurics and xanthine oxidase inhibitors (for the treatment of chronic gout).
• Digitalis glycosides (for example digoxin, for the treatment of heart problems).
Remember to tell any medical staff that you are taking Accuretic. This is important if you go into hospital for an operation as your anaesthetist will want to know.
Accuretic may affect the results of some laboratory tests. Tell your doctor or hospital you are taking Accuretic if you need to have any tests carried out by your doctor or in hospital.
See section 3 'How to take Accuretic'.
You must tell your doctor if you think you are (or might become) pregnant. Your doctor will normally advise you to stop taking Accuretic before you become pregnant or as soon as you know you are pregnant and will advise you to take another medicine instead of Accuretic. Accuretic is not recommended during pregnancy, and must not be taken when more than 3 months pregnant, as it may cause serious harm to your baby if used after the third month of pregnancy.
Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding or about to start breast-feeding. Accuretic is not recommended for mothers who are breast-feeding.
Lactose monohydrate is a type of sugar, if you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicinal product.
Do not wait until your tablets are finished before seeing your doctor.
The usual dose of Accuretic is one tablet each day. Your doctor may increase the dose to two tablets which may be taken together once a day or may be taken separately, one tablet in the morning and one in the evening. Accuretic can be taken with or without food.
Swallow the tablets whole with water. Do not chew, divide or crush the tablets.
Accuretic should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Taking too many tablets at once may make you unwell. If you take too many Accuretic tablets, tell your doctor or go to your nearest hospital casualty department immediately.
Do not worry. If you forget to take a dose, miss out the forgotten dose completely and take the next dose at the normal time. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
Do not stop taking your tablets or alter the dose you are currently taking without seeing your doctor first. It is important to keep taking your tablets. They help to control your blood pressure.
STOP taking Accuretic and seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of the following symptoms as they can be serious.
• Severe allergic (anaphylactoid) reaction to this medicine such as swelling of the face, tongue and throat which cause great difficulty breathing (angioedema).
• Severe abdominal pain causing you to be sick (intestinal angioedema).
• Severe chest pain, tightness of the chest, shortness of breath, wheezing or trouble breathing, irregular or strong heart beat (palpitations). These symptoms may be due to heart attack or angina.
• Weakness of arms, legs or problems speaking which may be symptoms of a possible stroke.
• Intense skin rash including hives, severe itching, blistering, peeling and swelling of the skin, inflammation of mucous membranes (Stevens Johnson Syndrome).
• Feeling faint, particularly when standing; this may mean your blood pressure is too low (hypotension). This is more likely to occur if you have been taking diuretics (water tablets), other blood pressure medication in addition to Accuretic, alcohol, or if you are dehydrated or are on dialysis. If you feel light-headed or faint, lie down until this feeling passes.
• Severe sore throat or severe mouth ulcers, particularly if you suffer from kidney problems or collagen vascular disease. You may not have enough of certain white blood cells (neutropenia/agranulocytosis) which may lead to increased risk of infection or fever.
• Severe abdominal and back pain accompanied with feeling very unwell (pancreatitis).
• Yellowing of the skin or the eyes (jaundice).
The following side effects have also been reported in patients with high blood pressure being treated with Accuretic. If any of these side effects get serious, or if you notice any side effects not listed in this leaflet, please tell your doctor.
Accuretic may cause certain changes in your blood and your doctor may do blood tests to monitor this. If you notice bruising, feeling very tired or if you are diabetic and notice your sugar levels rising let your doctor know so blood tests can be arranged if necessary.
If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet. You can also report side effects directly via at: www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard.
Do not take the medicine after the expiry date which is stated on the carton label or blister strip after 'Exp'. The expiry date refers to the last day of that month.
If the tablets become discoloured or show any signs of deterioration, seek the advice of your pharmacist. Remember if your doctor tells you to stop taking this medicine, return any unused tablets to your pharmacist for safe disposal. Only keep this medicine if your doctor tells you to.
The active ingredient in Accuretic is quinapril (as the hydrochloride) and hydrochlorothiazide.
The other ingredients are Magnesium carbonate, lactose monohydrate, crospovidone, povidone, magnesium stearate, Opadry Pink OY-S-6937 and candelilla wax.
Accuretic is pink, oval, film-coated tablet marked with a breakline on each side.
Each calendar blister pack contains 28 tablets. Manufactured by: Godecke GmbH, Freiburg, Germany.

If there is one thing that humans should be good at, it's being selfish. Being able to put ourselves first when we don't have anyone else relying on us is easy, but when you have friends and family and children, it's easy to put yourself last. Trying to put yourself first? That's difficult. It breeds feelings of guilt and resentment when you have to try to put yourself first. When you're so used to others being put ahead of you, you end up feeling bad for doing something for yourself. It's not the way it should be. You are a person, you are important, and you should be doing things that make you happy, not just things that make others feel happy.
Contentment comes when you can sit in the still and the quiet and smile. When you want to be happier, you have to be good to yourself. There is more to life than chasing the highest of heights and there is far more to life than striving for an unmanageable perfection. You can't achieve out of reach goals if you can't be kind to yourself first. People who are happiest carve out the time to be kind to themselves. The more you love yourself, the more you can allow others to love you. Below, we've put together four of the simplest ways that you can feel as content as can be.
Comfort. Comfort means something different to everyone, but when you feel comfortable in your clothes you can feel relaxed and wonderful on the inside. Whether you want to wrap yourself in oversized baseball jerseys and socks, or you want to don the latest wool felted slippers to be kinder to your feet, comfort is key for contentment. Make sure that you buy clothes that are soft and breathable and buy shoes that can take the edge off of those career-heightening heels for the ultimate comfort.
Health. Contentment often comes when hunger is satiated, thirst is slaked, and adrenaline is pumping. Caring for your health is going to put your body into a state of unwavering happiness. There's no sluggishness when you're keeping up with your water intake. There's no pain in your stomach when you're eating the right foods and there's no upset in store changing rooms when you're working out and staying toned. Care for your health and your contentment will come.
Toxicity. To find a level of contentment that suits you, you need to get rid of all the toxicity in your life. Whether this comes from the form of negative people or your job is making you unhappy, you need to cut that away from you. You are not obliged to interact with anyone that makes you feel negative and unhappy.
Breathe. Take a moment, inside or outside, simply to draw in a slow and deep breath. Your muscles can relax, your thoughts are sharper, and your heart is lighter. Simply by breathing, you can slow your heart rate, steady your thinking and let go of stress. Try it right now and see.
Finding contentment will be different for everyone, but putting yourself first is going to make your entire life so much happier.
