Q: Is there a method for getting the Excel VBA IDE working with TFS 2010? I have team members that need to be able to checkin VBA modules/classes created in Excel 2007/2010.
I want to be able to use some TFS functionality, ideally from within the VBA IDE.
I don't want to checkin Excel files as artefacts.  Ive seen the MSSCCI provider download from MS.
I don't think in this case the Windows shell extensions from the Power Toys helps because I don't want to have to create an additional process for developers to export and/or import class & module files from their work in VBA project maintenance.
Question: Can someone provide a way to use the MSSCCI provider with Excel 2007 (or even Excel 2010 only)? Do you think this would only be possible with custom VBA addin?
Update:
I've thought about using an approach such as making a custom VBA addin and adding some commands that make basic calls to the TFS client object model.
Just found this post from Codeproject from another question this time looking for the same thing but for SVN rather than TFS.

A: There is a Visual SorceSafe provider for VBE that comes with Office XP Developer. I used it for many years and still have it installed. It does what you want, but using VSS and not TFS.
Note that the product is not supported, but VBA/VBE has not changed since Office 2000. I used the provider for two years for Excel 2003 development with no problems.
I seem to remember recently an article describing how you can use VBA/VSS with the extra benefit of having the code also "posted" to TFS. Since I no longer professionally code in VBA/VSS, I didn't have a need for the article, but did find the topic interesting.

Office XP Developer has a few other tools that make it worth the time to install.

Access Source Code Control and Team Foundation Server
Today's guest writer is Mike Sullivan - a tester on the Access team
With the release of Visual Studio Team System 2008, we've recently received questions from several customers regarding whether or not Team Foundation Server (TFS) can act as a source code control provider for the Access source code control (SCC) component.  The answer is yes!
Although many folks refer to Access' source code control component as "SourceSafe integration," that only tells part of the story.  SCC integration within Access is fully compatible with any provider that implements the Microsoft Source Code Control Interface (MSSCCI).  Although Visual SourceSafe is one of the more widely used MSSCCI providers, there are several other products that implement this interface, including Team Foundation Server 2005 & 2008 as well as IBM ClearCase.
However, MSSCCI support in Team Foundation Server is not native and requires an additional add-in available for download:

*

*MSSCCI Add-in for Team Foundation Server 2005 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=87E1FFBD-A484-4C3A-8776-D560AB1E6198&displaylang=en

*MSSCCI Add-in for Team Foundation Server 2008 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=faeb7636-644e-451a-90d4-7947217da0e7&displaylang=en
Of course, to enable SCC functionality from within Access, you'll also need the Source Code Control add-in.  This shipped as a free download as a part of the Access Developer Extensions for Access 2007 and as a separate free add-in for Access 2003:

If you're interested in taking this configuration for a whirl, you might want to download the Team Foundation Server Virtual PC image that has been made available by the Visual Studio team.  Included on this virtual PC are copies of Visual Studio Team System 2008 and Office 2007 Enterprise SP1 (though Access is not installed by default on this image – you'll need to go to Add/Remove programs within Control panel and launch setup to install Access).  This trial image is good through December 31, 2008.
To get the Virtual PC image working, you'll also need to install the Access Developer Extensions (the MSSCCI add-in is preinstalled).  Since VSS is the default MSSCCI provider on the machine, you'll need to tweak a registry key to get Access to use Team Foundation instead:
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SOURCECODECONTROLPROVIDER
Key: ProviderRegKey
Value: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider
Hopefully those of you curious about support for TFS have had your questions answered!

I have downloaded a library that use "enum class ... : ..." types. It requires C++ 11 to compile correctly. When I have tried to compile selecting mbili board, console has launched an error. Searching in google and library's github page, I have found that, as I have writen before, C++ 11 is required to properly compilation.
Since Arduino IDE 1.6.X, C++ 11 is set by default. At default arduino/avr/platform.txt, at compiler.cpp.flags statement you can find -std=gnu++11. However, at sodaq/avr/platform.txt this flag is not found so C++11 compilation failed. I have added this flag to sodaq/avr/platform.txt and now, compilation and examples work great.
Please, could you modify and solve it on your definitions? This way, I needn't modify all my computers manually.
I made an internal task to solve this issue!
Since I advised you about c++ flags, I have been using your platform.txt v 1.1.0 with my modification (only added -std=gnu++11 in compiler.cpp.flags). Today, I have installed your new platform.txt version 1.2.0.
Trying this version, I have had another problem. I have compiled a running program I have with your mbili board, working correctly in more than 5 mbilis. Compilation hasn't shown errors, but program doesn't run successfully.
I have checked both platform.txt versions and I have adviced two different flags added in version 1.2.0. -fno-fat-lto-objects and -flto in compiler.c.flags and -flto in elf and cpp flags. I have deleted manually this flags and now, my running program compiles and works well again.
Could you guide me how this flags works and why, if I delete them, everything works well again?? I can't understand why program doesn't run with this flags.
Could you please turn on verbose output during compilation (from preferences) and post the output when you compile your code with the original flags.
This is the output with verbose option.

We try to be in sync with the official Arduino board files. I looked at the Arduino and SODAQ files and they are compatible.
I think google can best tell you what it means and why it's safe to remove the flags.
Currently you are the only one who has issues with these flags.
In the office we aren't able to reproduce your issue.
If others read this thread and have the same issue, please let us know.
For now, your workaround, removing those flags is safe to use.

Opening Pandora's Box
10 Rules for Talking to Kids About Money
Glenn Kurlander
Morgan Stanley Wealth Management
Many affluent parents dread talking with their kids about money. "Once we talk about money," they say, "it will be like opening Pandora's box" (which was actually a jar — don't ask me why we always refer to a box). "Nothing but evil will issue forth."
Here's how I usually respond: First, the box is probably open already. Second, if it's not, more likely than not it will be soon, no matter what you do. And third, it might be better if we went ahead and opened it from time to time, anyhow. If we try to force the lid down, we're really teaching our kids that there is something inside the box to fear; something so dangerous and harmful that we don't even talk about it. If that's the lesson we teach our kids, we're not starting them off on the road to forming a healthy relationship with wealth.
On the other hand, some affluent parents may not dread the conversation, yet they tell me they don't know how to do it or where to begin. To help those who dread the topic, as well as those who want to dive in but aren't sure how, over the years I've come up with 10 rules for talking with kids about money — and, just as important, for acting consistent with what we say.
Money Is Like Sex
Think Before You Talk
Talk, Talk and Talk Some More
Talk With Them, Not to Them
A Question Is Worth a Thousand Answers
Keep Foot Away From Mouth
Give Kids an Allowance
Make an Investment in Them
It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over (and It Never Is)
Rule 1: Money Is Like Sex
Just as with young kids and sex, when it comes to money, kids (of whatever age) know more than we think they know. But they're confused about what they think they know.
As to the first part of the rule and how much kids already know, many of the affluent parents I've known have deluded themselves into believing they've kept their wealth a secret. But there's much kids will infer simply from how we live our lives. When I was in private practice, for example, I had a client who was worth in excess of half a billion dollars. One day he said to me, "Glenn, my kids have no idea how much I'm worth; I've kept them totally in the dark." I replied, "You live in a 25,000 square foot house, and your kids have never been on a commercial plane — they're always on your private jet. I think they've figured it out." My client was right in a very narrow and technical sense: His kids might not have known exactly how many zeros there were on his balance sheet or what number was in front of those zeros, but it really didn't matter. They knew their father was extremely wealthy.
Our kids aren't idiots, and most of them will figure it out. And if they don't, they'll hear it from their friends who have either figured it out themselves or heard it from their parents.
Moreover, kids are naturally curious, and the internet gives them vast insight into their parents' lives — even those parents who don't lead ostentatious lifestyles. As a result, kids typically know much more about us than we knew about our parents when we were the same age. For example, when my wife and I bought a new house, our teenaged kids went online and found the asking price of every house we had looked at. They would even debate whether this house was worth incrementally more than that house. If they wanted to, they could easily find out what we ultimately paid. By contrast, I didn't find out what my parents paid for the house I grew up in until I was in my 30s.
But while they may know more than we think they do, they're often confused about what they think they know. That's because, irrespective of their age, kids often don't have sufficient context to make what they know meaningful. For younger kids, the lack of context may come simply from being inexperienced. For older, even very sophisticated kids, the lack of context may relate to our failure (intentional or not) to give them insight into the total picture. I'll use an example from my own life. When my son, Benjamin, was 10, he could tell you, almost to the penny, the cost of any exotic automobile you could name. But he didn't have any sense of what the purchase price meant in relative terms because he was entirely lacking in context. He couldn't, for example, relate the cost of a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano to a one-bedroom apartment in New York City or what a first-year associate in a major law firm makes a year or the price of tuition at four-year private colleges. Thus, he was confused about what he thought he knew. Oscar Wilde defined a cynic as someone who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing. In that sense, kids are Wildean cynics.
Keeping in mind this first rule should help us get over our delusion that we can keep our kids in the dark about everything. But it also helps us to define one of the tasks ahead of us: helping our kids begin to create a context into which they may place their knowledge so that it is helpful and empowering and not dangerous or frightening.
Rule 2: Think Before You Talk
I don't just mean the obvious point that you should think about what you're going to say before you say it. Certainly, you need to do that. But the real point of my second rule is that you have got to come to grips with your own values about wealth before you discuss money with your kids.
Many affluent parents have a fairly clear sense of the values that they'd like their kids to develop with respect to money, but they may be less discerning about their own values. Thus, as an initial matter, we need to be honest with ourselves in examining our own values about wealth. It's one thing to say that we want our kids to understand that material possessions are not the source of happiness and fulfillment. But if our own lives are driven by little more than conspicuous consumption, our kids will quickly come to see that the values we say they should develop are not aligned with the values that shape our own behavior. Kids are the most sensitive lie detectors we've ever built: If there is significant discrepancy between what we say and what we do, they'll be quick to see it. They'll be inclined to ignore what we say and see us as hypocrites. The damage we do may be far-reaching: We may undermine our moral authority and persuasiveness on other issues and permanently damage our credibility.
"Just as with young kids and sex, when it comes to money, kids (of whatever age) know more than we think they know. But they're confused about what they think they know."
Couples need to engage in this introspective analysis separately, and once they've been honest with themselves in identifying their own values, they need to come together and ensure that, to the extent possible, their values are aligned. That's because kids are quick to discern the areas where parental views diverge. And once they've identified these discontinuities, they're expert at exploiting them and playing one parent against the other. The more successful we are in harmonizing our values before we speak to our kids about money, the more successful we'll be in managing the conversation and living our lives consistent with what we say.
In examining the extent to which their values are aligned, parents need to focus not just on conceptual matters but also on the practicalities of everyday life. For younger kids, that means parents have to harmonize their views about spending on clothes, parties, birthday and holiday presents and the like. For older kids, clothing remains relevant, but things like cars and college expenses become of central importance. With adult kids, homes and more general kinds of financial assistance take center stage. Parents need to be on the same page about all these matters.
These issues may be especially difficult to deal with in the case of blended families and divorced parents, where it may very well be the case that differences in values were at least a contributing factor to the divorce. Where kids, in effect, have two households and different values reign in each, the only way to address the challenges that result is to discuss candidly the fact that there are different values in each household and explain why we have chosen the values we have. Being honest with ourselves and our partners about what we truly value isn't always easy, but it's a necessary first step in having successful conversations with kids about money.
Rule 3: Talk, Talk and Talk Some More
My third rule is addressed to the reality that money is the last taboo: The one topic that still causes discomfort and unease in many families. Politics, drugs, even sex are now openly discussed, but money is still too delicate an issue for many families. Talking about money makes many of us feel embarrassed, guilty, even shameful. But when we let money become taboo, we're not living up to our responsibilities to prepare and educate.
I was once on a panel with Peter Buffett, one of the sons of Warren Buffett — the Oracle of Omaha. Peter was discussing his father's view of wealth. Out of filial loyalty (I didn't want Warren to have the spotlight all to himself), I began talking about my father — Irwin Kurlander, the Oracle of Boca Raton — and his views on wealth. "When I was very young," I began, "my father once said to me, 'Glenn, if we were wealthy, I wouldn't let you know until you were old enough to deal with that knowledge. I'd be worried that simply knowing we were rich would destroy your initiative and ambition. I'd want you to accomplish all you could on your own.'"
"Well," I told the audience, "I just turned 56 and that feels pretty old. So now, every day when I wake up I think, maybe this is it; maybe today's the day my father will call and say, 'Glenn, you may as well know; we're loaded.'"
Well, I still haven't gotten that call from my Dad. And as much as I love and respect him, I think he got it wrong — at least in part. I agree that in most families it doesn't make sense to give a kid a balance sheet — particularly a young kid. But I think it does make sense to talk about wealth all the time. Not from the perspective of how much we have, but from the more important and foundational perspective of what it means. What are the responsibilities, obligations and challenges that come with wealth? Why do we value it? How did we accumulate it, and what did we learn from the effort of accumulation? How, if at all, would we be different if we lost it? And maybe most important of all, what do we want to accomplish with it?
Conversations that focus on these questions are, of course, about more than dollars — they're about our guiding values and precepts. And that's why they're so valuable. They spring from teachable moments about what is most important to us and ultimately who we are. These are the kinds of conversations I have in mind when I say talk, talk and talk some more. They're the conversations we can't be afraid to have.
Rule 4: Talk With Them, Not to Them
I've got four children of my own, and I learned early on that the best way to get them not to listen to something that I thought was important was to lecture them. As a general rule, conversations are much more effective than lectures, and that's especially true when we're talking to our kids about money. If we can succeed in engaging children, and get them to talk to us, the odds are that we'll be much more effective in getting our point across. And if we keep a couple things in mind, we'll be more likely to have a conversation and not a lecture.
First, we should strive not to be dismissive or belittling when we're talking to kids about money. In other words, we shouldn't talk down to them. Seek to excise certain parental clichés from our lexicon — expressions such as "you're too young to understand," "you'll understand when you're a parent," and "maybe when you're grown up." If what we're talking about is so hard for the child to understand, we either should be doing a better job at explaining it, or we shouldn't be talking about it in the first place. Other chestnuts that are absolutely certain to stifle a conversation are "because I said so," "that's none of your business," and "that's an inappropriate question." And there's probably no better child-soporific than "when I was a kid." We utter that one at our peril.
Second, while it's a mistake to be belittling, it's equally ineffective to talk over a child's head. It's probably best to skip conversations about credit default swaps and collateralized mortgage obligations. As with all other conversations, our goal when we talk with kids about money should be to talk in a way that is consistent with the child's general level of maturity. The point of the conversation we should be trying to have isn't about the complexities of our financial system — it's about values.
I've found that the single most effective way to engage children is to ask them questions that challenge their assumptions and force them to begin to search for their own answers. And that's what the next rule is all about.
Rule 5: A Question Is Worth a Thousand Answers
Question: Why does a lawyer always answer a question with a question?
Answer: Why shouldn't a lawyer answer a question with a question?
That question and answer illustrates one powerful way to proceed when talking with kids about money. Rather than simply give our children answers to questions, it's usually more effective to ask them questions that force them to supply their own answers. We have to answer honestly, but we also have to ask more questions designed to help our children formulate their own answers.
I'll give an example of how to employ this approach by using the one question that, more than any other, causes affluent parents sheer terror: "Are we rich?" But not only shouldn't you fear that question, you should anticipate it eagerly.
I'd love it when my kids would ask me that question because it gave me the chance to engage them in a conversation about the meaning of wealth and happiness. I'd begin by saying to them, "Wow, that's a really interesting question. Are we rich? Well, I don't know — you tell me; what does it mean to be rich?"
At this stage, I'd hope my kids would simply throw out a number, say $50 million. Because then I could say, "Yeah, I agree; anyone who has $50 million is rich. But let me ask you a question. Does that mean someone with $40 million is poor?" And with that, I'd shift the Socratic dialogue into high gear — the more we talked and the further our conversation evolved, the more I would spin an intricate web of additional questions:
What would you do if you had $50 million that you couldn't do if you had only $40 million? How would your life be different? Would you be happier?
Who is the richest person you know? Do they seem happier than you?
What makes you the happiest? The saddest? Does any of that have to do with being rich?
How do people get rich? Why are some people poor?
In spinning out our questions, the point isn't to evade our children's questions. We need to answer, and we need to answer honestly. But helping them formulate the truly important questions and arriving at their own answers is ultimately more valuable. And of course, we'll want to return to these questions over and over again to help our children test their initial responses against the deeper and more meaningful set of experiences they accumulate as they get older and see more of life.
"We need to answer, and we need to answer honestly. But helping them formulate the truly important questions and arriving at their own answers is ultimately more valuable."
So how does one answer the question, "Are we rich?" when an answer does have to be given? Try this answer on for size: "Rich means different things to different people; it means some things that we measure with money and other things like having a happy and healthy family that can't be measured with money and that no amount of money can buy. In the sense of money, Dad and I have enough to buy all the things we need and many of the things we want and, while you are children, we have enough to take care of you so that you don't have to worry. So many people would say Dad and I are rich." Some clients may want to continue by saying, "When you become an adult, you'll want to have your own money so that you can take care of your children, if you decide to have them." Of course, from this answer, we can spin many more questions, if we wish.
Rule 6: Keep Foot Away From Mouth
It can be pretty tough to keep ourselves from saying something we know we shouldn't say. Why is that hard? I think that's because our attitudes about money are complex. A simple statement, often reflexive, can't convey the whole truth. As a result, many of us will utter an offhanded or casual remark about money; statements that might not truly reflect our attitudes or that may have a germ of truth but require significant disclaimers or additional qualifications. The danger is that the offhand remark teaches our kids something about money that we don't really mean, something that is often at odds with what we really believe.
For example, clients have told me about having made unthinking remarks such as, "I'd hate to live in that house," "I'm so glad I don't drive a car like that," "She looks like she buys her clothes at the second-hand shop." While I know that, at some level, my clients didn't mean it, the problem with these statements, especially to younger ears, is that they have the potential to equate money — or more accurately, tangible possessions — with happiness.
I recently caught myself in a huge foot extraction moment. My youngest son was having trouble making friends and has some other challenges that tend to exacerbate the issue. So, my wife and I often coach him. We talk through scenarios and discuss how he might deal with them more effectively. One of the boys he's hung around with at school loves to swim, and recently I caught myself saying, "William really enjoys swimming, and we've got a beautiful pool; why don't you invite him over sometime for lunch and a swim. I'm sure he'd really enjoy it, and then maybe he'd invite you over to his house sometime."
The message I intended was that sometimes friendships develop out of a shared interest. All good. Except that, as I said the words to my son about the pool and the expectation of payback, I heard another potential message in the air: You can buy friends with nice things. Of course, that's not what I meant, but I could have done a much better job in choosing my words in the first place. I fixed it, I think, by explaining what I really meant and addressing what I didn't, but the danger is that sometimes we don't hear the darker message that's potentially implicit in what we say. Or, as in my case, the undoing is just one more challenge or distraction.
"An allowance, when structured thoughtfully, can teach a child the necessity of budgeting, the need to save to fund large purchases and the necessity of making choices."
One of the things that stops some parents from talking about money in the first place, particularly with younger kids, is a concern that kids will brag or make other inappropriate public comments about family wealth. Some parents who have decided to open the kimono a bit undermine the value of the conversation if they deal with the issue of public disclosure less than artfully. This common incident of parental foot-in-mouth disease risks making the child feel like the information about family wealth — or wealth itself — is somehow shameful or dirty.
In my mind, these parents are failing to distinguish between privacy and secrecy. It's perfectly appropriate—indeed, wise—to explain to a child that conversations about family wealth are family matters and that we talk about family matters only with family. But it may be a mistake to make the child feel that generally we need to be secretive about these matters because that creates the potential for unhealthy attitudes about wealth, power and control, both as a child and, more dangerously, as an adult.
Rule 7: Give Kids an Allowance
So far, the rules have focused largely on talking. But as important as it is to talk with kids about money, I think actions are at least as meaningful and often are more powerful. Let's start with one of my favorite teaching tools — allowance. It's something I get asked about all the time.
Parents can start with very young kids by giving them what I call a "special allowance": a fixed sum to spend at a particular event, say a ball game. Parents pick some reasonable amount and say to the child, "Here is $30 for you to spend as you wish. If you buy a big souvenir, you won't have anything left for the rest of the day. If you buy a smaller souvenir, you may have enough for a drink or an ice cream. If you don't buy a souvenir, you can have a hot dog, a drink and an ice cream. It's your call how to spend the money. But once you've spent it all, you can't buy anything else." For many kids, this is their first experience making their own decisions about money. For it to be meaningful, parents have to mean what they say about not getting more when the original amount runs out.
When you make the transition to a regular allowance, be clear about why you're doing it. Some parents explain that, in effect, the allowance is a payment in respect of chores. Others find that notion anathema, believing that doing chores is a family responsibility, and that we don't get paid for the discharge of responsibilities. If you fall into this camp, you may decide to explain the allowance as reflecting a decision to share some family wealth.
Clients often ask me how much allowance they should give their kids. I believe that parents often get hung up on the amount and resort to artificial ways to fix the payment: he's 10 years old, so we'll give him $10 a week; next year, we'll increase it to $11. I'm not sure it's a great idea to pay a kid more simply because he kept breathing for another year. And I think it's more effective to relate the allowance to what we expect it to cover. In other words, decide first what expenses you want your children to defray from the allowance, what portion you want them to save and what portion, if any, you want them to set aside for charity. Based on that analysis, we can back into an amount that's reasonable. It shouldn't be so large that a child can buy anything she or he wishes — that defeats the need to have to make choices, which is what the allowance is all about. On the other hand, it shouldn't be so small that it's meaningless and doesn't really allow for the making of choices.
If we've chosen the amount well, there will be times when kids will run out of money in the middle of the week. When that happens, we can't bail them out; if we do, we're again undermining the purpose of the exercise in the first place.
The same principles hold as kids get older, though I suggest that you change the way the allowance functions to reflect the child's increasing maturity and growing (we hope) facility with money. Rather than paying the allowance weekly, we can pay it twice a month and eventually monthly, requiring the child to budget over longer periods. At the same time, we should require that the child defray additional kinds of expense out of the allowance, while increasing the amount of the allowance commensurately. For older teens, you may think about suspending the allowance in the summer on the theory that, while kids are in school, their job is to be full-time students, but in the summer, they can find work. Of course, some clients think kids should have part-time jobs while they're in school, too. Obviously, it's possible to fit an allowance into that worldview as well.
An allowance, when structured thoughtfully, can teach a child the necessity of budgeting, the need to save to fund large purchases and the necessity of making choices. If learning from our mistakes is an effective teaching tool, then an allowance should be a part of your tool kit.
Rule 8: Make an Investment in Them
Most of the very wealthy clients with whom I've worked over the last 30 years haven't always been very wealthy. Most came from modest circumstances at best, and they usually didn't start out with the goal of becoming wealthy. Far more often, they began doing something they loved or in which they were deeply engaged. They usually had some luck along the way, and they also had some reverses. They persevered, and took risks. And one day they woke up and realized they were wealthier than they ever imagined possible. As they've looked back on their lives and all they've accomplished, many have said to me, "You know what, Glenn? The times when it was hard, when I was building and it was a struggle, those were the best times." And then in the very next breath, they say, "But I don't want my kids to have to struggle the way I did."
Of course, there's a logical disconnect here, although any one of us who is a parent can probably understand the statement emotionally. From a logical perspective, why would we want to withhold from our kids the experiences that meant the most to us and that we believe to be essential to our success? But, of course, most of us will not create artificial scarcity for our children. Once we have succeeded and have the ability to enjoy a certain way of living, most of us won't decide to withhold it from our children. Most of us are not going to treat our children's lives as a science experiment and withhold things from them to see how they develop.
I believe there is a middle way, and it's about replacing the natural parental instinct to give with the need to earn. It's Rule 8, Make an Investment in Them.
Here's an example of how my wife and I have put that rule into effect in our own lives. We live in a part of Westchester County that the geographers call semirural. There are no streetlights and no sidewalks; the roads are narrow and winding; the distances are immense. Walking anywhere is just not possible — you need a car to get around. By the time our kids reach driving age, my wife and I will be more than ready to tear up our chauffeur licenses. But at the same time, the thought of our kids driving one of our cars is inconceivable for dozens of reasons. So we want them to have their own car when they reach driving age, but we don't want to simply give them one.
So we've decided to make an investment in them, provided they make an investment in themselves. Our kids have known from an early age that when they reach driving age, if they're doing well in school and they're responsible and mature enough to drive, my wife and I will provide two-thirds of the purchase price of a reasonably priced new car. They have to earn the other third.
If this approach resonates, it's easy to apply it to other rites of passage: bicycles, for example, for younger kids (the "work" can be payments for "special chores"); first homes, as another example, for older kids. The principle is the same: I'll make an investment in you, but first you have to make one in yourself.
I think that making an investment in our kids is the answer to the logical inconsistency in the "I was happy when I struggled; I want my kids to be happy; I don't want my kids to struggle" paradox: We use our financial capital to help our kids, to ease some of the struggle, but not to eliminate it entirely. We preserve, to at least some extent, the necessity of making it on their own by requiring them to invest in themselves in order to earn our investment.
Rule 9: Walk the Talk
If you want to get the message across, you have to live, not just speak, your values. If we emphasize to our children how important it is to give back but never engage in philanthropic activity, our children will come to doubt our words, no matter how often or eloquently we deliver the message. And if we tell our children that material possessions don't bring happiness but then devote our lives to never-ending consumption, our children will come to learn we don't really mean what we say. The way we live our lives is the model from which our children learn the most. It's critically important to talk with our kids about wealth and values, meaning and responsibility. But while talking is a necessary condition, it's not a sufficient one. It isn't enough to say it, no matter how many times or how well. We've got to live it.
Rule 10: It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over (and It Never Is)
The final rule reflects the reality that talking with kids about money is not something we do once. It's something we have to do repeatedly; it's a life-long enterprise. We don't stop being parents in any other sphere until we stop being. And if we've done our jobs well, perhaps our kids hear our voice in their heads, helping them find the way, even after death has silenced us. If we continue being parents in all else, why would we think we stop when it comes to money?
If we're to be successful, conversations about wealth can not be a case of one and done: conversations about the meaning and significance of wealth are the kinds of conversations we need to have for the rest of our lives. In my opinion, this is an area where we never stop parenting.
While the final rule is about the never-ending nature of the discourse about money, paradoxically it brings us to an end of our discussion of how you can successfully open Pandora's Box. So go ahead and lift the lid. You may be pleasantly surprised by what comes streaming out.

More than half the British population have bought and read digital magazines, according to research by lekiosk, the digital newsstand app that enables people to purchase magazines.
Some other statistics from the survey, conducted in the UK by OnePoll: 19% read their magazines on tablets and 14% of tablet magazine readers do so on a single issue basis.
And where do they read them? The majority do so in their living rooms (36%), bedrooms (22%), and while travelling on trains and buses (20%). Inevitably, some - mostly men - read them while on the toilet.
The survey among 2,000 consumers found that 1 in 20 British people, rising to 1 in 10 among 18-24-year-olds, are buying more digital magazines now than they did a year ago.
Nathaniel Philippe, one of lekiosk's founders, said: "When it comes to reading magazines, the future is digital – and the hardware that's taking us into that future is the tablet… the UK's love affair with the magazine is as alive as ever – but digital magazines have never been as much a part of that as they are now."

Weekly Brief: Delphi extends its autonomous reach
TU-Editor
The leading supplier for automotive parts looks to become the top brand for autonomous software. Andrew Tolve reports.
Another month, another multi-million dollar pay out for a self-driving car start-up. Last week it was Boston-based nuTonomy that hit the jackpot, as it received a $450M (£342M) buyout from the world's largest automotive parts supplier Delphi. Earlier this year Ford shelled out $1Bn for Argo AI, and a few months before that General Motors paid $1Bn for Cruise Automotive, to name just two of the recent high-profile acquisitions. This is actually Delphi's second self-driving car start-up acquisition; the first was of a company called Ottomatika back in 2015. Delphi says that it plans to split off its self-driving car division into a new business called Aptiv, which will offer both Ottomatika and nuTonomy solutions side-by-side.
Sounds redundant right, especially for nearly half a billion? Delphi says that's the point. Self-driving cars need redundancy, often in the form of a primary software platform and a backup, to ensure that they don't make a fatal slip up. nuTonomy will continue to be based in Boston, where both Delphi and nuTonomy currently have pilots underway. With the nuTonomy fleet included, Delphi will have 60 autonomous cars on the road across three continents by the end of the year. It hopes to deploy a fully commercial software platform for self-driving cars by late 2019 or early 2020.
In other news, Volkswagen introduced a new 'personalisation' feature that allows different drivers to save personal preferences in the same vehicle, from the angle of exterior mirrors to temperature settings to seat positioning to the configuration of the instrument cluster and infotainment screen. The settings are saved on-board the vehicle and triggered by the key when the driver unlocks the door. The feature launches on the new T-Roc and Arteon and all versions of the current Golf, Touran, Tiguan and Passat.
The city of Los Angeles plans to integrate on-demand rides into its public transportation system. The LA Metropolitan Transportation Authority posted a request for proposals from the private sector for a pilot programme called Metro MicroTransit, in which the city will offer commuters on-demand rides with no fixed routes. The idea is to have an algorithm (similar to that which powers uberPOOL) to help determine the fastest route for a group of commuters.
Waymo is about to catch a cold – the company announced the launch of self-driving pilots in Michigan, with the first scheduled to start in the greater Detroit area in November. The goal is to challenge Waymo's Chrysler Pacifica test vehicles against a spectrum of cold-weather conditions, from snow to sleet to black ice and salty slush. Waymo has a research centre in Novi, Michigan.
Didi Chuxing, China's leading ridesharing company, announced a strategic partnership with National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), the holding company of Saab, to ramp up the number of electric vehicles on the Didi platform. The two companies will co-develop an EV fully optimised for the mobility services that DiDi offers with plans to integrate self-driving technology over time. The first vehicle used in this cooperation will be the NEVS 9-3; Didi aims to have one million EVs on platform by 2020.
BlackBerry launched a new Automotive Cybersecurity Consulting Service to help carmakers navigate the challenges of securing connected cars. The BlackBerry service is targeted at the UK and Europe, where a new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is set to go into effect May 2018 and will demand major changes to the ways organisations collect, use and store personal data about customers and employees.
Finally, at the Tokyo Motor Show, Nissan gave a sneak peek of its ProPILOT autonomous driving platform, which it plans to deploy in market-ready vehicles come 2020. The platform is currently integrated in the 2018 Nissan Leaf and 2018 Nissan Rogue but in semi-autonomous form. In Tokyo Nissan had on hand an Infiniti Q50 Hybrid vehicle souped-up with enough sonars, cameras, radars, laser scanners and high-definition maps to transform it into a Level 4 autonomous vehicle.

Cuneus Prophetarum (, ) — философский, теологический и научный трактат, написанный Петером Богдани, албанским философом. Опубликован в Падуе в 1685 году на албанском и латинском языках. Считается и самым выдающимся произведением ранней албанской литературы.

История
Петер Богдани закончил писать Cuneus Prophetarum в 1675, но Конгрегация евангелизации народов не позволила опубликовать труд, пока не будет сделан перевод на латынь. Через десять лет книга была издана в Падуе при поддержке Грегорио Барбариго, кардинала Падуи.

Полное латинское названия трактата — «Cuneus prophetarum de Christo salvatore mundi et eius evangelica veritate, italice et epirotice contexta, et in duas partes diuisa a Petro Bogdano Macedone, Sacr. Congr. de Prop. Fide alumno, Philosophiae & Sacrae Theologiae Doctore, olim Episcopo Scodrensi & Administratore Antibarensi, nunc vero Archiepiscopo Scuporum ac totius regni Serviae Administratore».

Трактат был переиздан на итальянском и албанском языках в 1691 и 1702 годах соответственно при поддержке семьи Альбицци. Итальянское заглавие — «L' infallibile verità della cattolica fede».

Содержание
Cuneus Prophetarum разделен на два тома, в каждом из которых четыре главы. Текст в главе набран в две колонки: одна — на албанском языке, другая — на латыни. В переизданиях место латыни занял итальянский перевод. Вводная часть первого тома содержит посвящения и панегирики на албанском, итальянском, латинском и сербском. Также в ней приведены два стихотворения по восемь строк на албанском языке. Первое стихотворение, написанное Лукой Богдани, двоюродным братом Петера Богдани, посвящено автору трактата. Второе стихотворение — философское, его сочинил Лука Сумма, монах из Шкодера. Основные темы первого тома взяты из Ветхого Завета. Четыре главы носят названия:
 Как Бог создал человека.
 Пророки и их метафоры о пришествии Мессии.
 Житие пророков и их пророчества.
 Житие десяти сивилл.
Второй том озаглавлен «De vita Jesu Christi salvatoris mundi», его основные богословские темы взяты из Нового Завета. Четыре главы носят названия:
 Житие Иисуса Христа.
 Чудеса Иисуса Христа.
 Страдания и смерть Иисуса Христа.
 Воскресение и второе пришествие Христа.
В четвертую главу второго тома включён перевод из Книги Даниила на албанский, арабский, армянский, греческий, иврит, итальянский, латинский и сирийский языки. Также в этом томе имеется глава, посвящённая житию Антихриста, индекс на албанском и итальянском языках и три страницы приложения под названием «Antichita della Casa Bogdana», посвящённая генеалогии семьи Богдани.

Значение
Cuneus Prophetarum считается наиболее выдающимся произведение ранней албанской литературы. В нём рассматриваются вопросы философии, науки и теологии, а также вопросы астрономии, физики, географии и истории. Поэтические произведения и проза затрагивают литературную теорию. Cuneus Prophetarum причисляется к гуманистическим работам барочной литературы. Язык, используемый Богдани — архаичная форма албанского, она рассматривается как одна из ранних литературных форм языка.

В 1855 году Антон Сантори опубликовал в Неаполе труд Kryshten i shyityruory, который содержит выдержки из Cuneus Prophetarum. Сантори включил их в своё издание, чтобы продемонстрировать преемственность албанский религиозной литературы.

Inscribed on back of base 'Morris | Singer | FOUNDERS | LONDON' t.l., and 'Barbara Hepworth 0/3 | CAST 1973' t.r.
In the mid 1960s, Barbara Hepworth reverted to a smoothed and simplified form for the carvings emerging from her workshop. They had the effect of announcing the quality of the material and the integrity of the block (concerns expressed in the 1920s and 1940s), while moving away from the contrast between polished and gouged surfaces favoured for guarea pieces such as Pierced Form (Epidauros), 1960 (Tate Gallery T03141). At the same time, the piercing and hollowing characteristic of her style allowed the intregration of inside and outside, object and environment. All these factors were demonstrated in the original American walnut carving, River Form, 1965 (BH 401, artist's estate, repr. Alan Bowness (ed.), The Complete Sculpture of Barbara Hepworth 1960-69, 1971, pls.137-8) and in the contemporary elm sculptures Hollow Form with White, 1965 (Tate Gallery T00960) and Oval Form with Strings and Colour, 1965 (BH 382, artist's estate, repr. Bowness 1971, pl.125). Casts of all three were made - the latter as Spring (Tate Gallery L00936) - with the pronounced graining of the fine exteriors translated into polished bronze. According to David Brown and Ann Jones, the walnut River Form began to split shortly after completion (St Ives 1939-64, exh. cat., Tate Gallery 1985, p.193). This deterioration may have encouraged the edition (3 + 0) a decade later; the copy in the artist's garden is 0/3, another cast (1/3) is on loan from the artist's trustees to Kensington Town Hall in west London.
Over the decade to 1965, Hepworth had developed a heavily textured surface for her sculptures by which she carried the carving of the plaster into the bronze. She differentiated casts of carvings from those derived from plasters by polishing the metal to follow the quality of the wood. The bronze of River Form has a sleak exterior and an equally smooth interior; Morris Singer Foundry confirmed the sculptor's stipulations on finish as a 'nice teak colour patina on the outside, blue in the large carved out area and satin in the three holes' (Arthur Markwell to the artist, 11 June 1973, TGA 965). The perceptible narrowing towards the right reflects the form of the original tree trunk, which Hepworth usually liked to maintain in the carving. The sculpture's position in the artist's garden, has allowed weathering and the effect of bird lime which has caused the green discolouration of the top (despite regular waxing). A substantial amount of rainwater collects in the interior which, though enhancing the sculpture with reflections, may be associated with the blue discolouration of the faults at either end. The three holes are quite burnished and splay towards the exterior of the sculpture from spiralled openings, two turning clockwise and one (on the right) anticlockwise. They do not serve as drains, but their form suggests the eddying effect of water appropriate to the title. Although Hepworth sometimes made reference to natural phenomena, the unspecific title is rather isolated in her oeuvre.
The enclosure of an open interior was a characteristic form which Hepworth had favoured since the 1930s. It has been associated with psychoanalytic theories of the sheltering maternal figure, especially with the addition of an enclosed form such as found in Sphere with Inner Form, 1963 (Tate Gallery T03146). Dore Ashton observed that the works 'edge away from specificity, reminding us that analogy and metamorphosis are more important to Hepworth, who generally seeks the rhyming scheme of the universe in much the way of one of her early mentors, Brancusi' ('Barbara Hepworth: An Appreciation', Barbara Hepworth: 'Conversations', exh. cat., Marlborough Gallery, New York 1974, p.6). The formal purity of River Form may be seen as an example of this continuity from pre-war concerns.

The Guidance, Navigation, and Control Challenges of Landing on Mars and Europa
Miguel San Martin
Miguel San Martin grew up in Argentina and came to the United States after high school to pursue his dream of working for NASA. He graduated summa cum laude from Syracuse University with a degree in Electrical Engineering, being named Engineering Student of the Year. He received his Masters degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering with a specialization in Guidance, Navigation, and Control for interplanetary space exploration. Upon graduation, he was hired by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the NASA center that specializes in interplanetary space exploration.
Early in his career, he participated in the Magellan mission to Venus and the Cassini mission to Saturn. He was later named Chief Engineer for the Guidance, Navigation, and Control system for the Pathfinder mission, which landed Sojourner, the first robotic vehicle to land on Mars. He later assumed the same role for the highly successful mission that landed the robotic vehicles, Spirit and Opportunity on Mars in 2004. Most recently, he was the Chief Engineer for Guidance, Navigation, and Control for the Mars Science Laboratory, which landed successfully the one-ton rover, Curiosity, on the surface of Mars on August 5, 2012. He was a co-architect of Curiosity's innovative SkyCrane landing architecture, receiving the NASA Exceptional Achievement in Engineering Medal for his contributions. He was named JPL Fellow in 2013.
Squeezing the Limits of Autonomy:
Flight Control for the RoboBee
Robert J. Wood
Harvard University, USA
Wednesday, June 27, 8:30 AM – 9:30 AM
Ballroom C, Wisconsin Center
As the characteristic size of a flying robot decreases, the challenges for successful flight revert to basic questions of fabrication, actuation, fluid mechanics, stabilization, and power — whereas such questions have in general been answered for larger aircraft. When developing a robot on the scale of a housefly, all hardware must be developed from scratch as there is nothing "off-the-shelf" which can be used for mechanisms, sensors, or computation that would satisfy the extreme mass and power limitations. With these challenges in mind, this talk will present progress in the essential technologies for insect-scale robots and the latest flight experiments with robotic insects.
Robert Wood is the Charles River Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, a founding core faculty member of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and a National Geographic Explorer. Prof. Wood completed his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in the Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley. He is founder of the Harvard Microrobotics Lab which leverages expertise in microfabrication for the development of biologically-inspired robots with feature sizes on the micrometer to centimeter scale. His current research interests include new micro- and meso-scale manufacturing techniques, fluid mechanics of low Reynolds number flapping wings, control of sensor-limited and computation-limited systems, active soft materials, wearable robots, and morphable soft-bodied robots. He is the winner of multiple awards for his work including the DARPA Young Faculty Award, NSF Career Award, ONR Young Investigator Award, Air Force Young Investigator Award, Technology Review's TR35, and multiple best paper awards. In 2010 Wood received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers from President Obama for his work in microrobotics. In 2012 he was selected for the Alan T. Waterman award, the National Science Foundation's most prestigious early career award. In 2014 he was named one of National Geographic's "Emerging Explorers". Wood's group is also dedicated to STEM education by using novel robots to motivate young students to pursue careers in science and engineering.
With its thin atmosphere, uncertain wind and terrain, and ever-increasing science requirements, robotic missions to the surface of Mars have presented enormous challenges to the Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) and Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) engineers. Throughout the years, these challenges have been met with a series of landing architectures that spawned different degrees of passive and active control, from the ballistic airbag landers in the Mars Pathfinder and Spirit and Opportunity Rovers, to the guided-entry, SkyCrane-delivered Curiosity. Landing on Europa (the Jovian moon that may have the conditions to harbor life) presents a different set of challenges over a Martian landing. While Europa's lack of atmosphere relieves the landing engineer from the complexities of heatshields and parachutes and the vagaries of an atmosphere, they now face the enormous challenges of bringing large amounts of fuel and powerful propulsion to do the job the atmosphere does on Mars, while dealing with an extremely uncertain surface topography and radiation environment. These challenges are being addressed with increased automation based on new GN&C sensors and algorithms. In this talk, I will describe the challenges of both Mars and Europa landings, and the intellectual journey trod by engineers in meeting them.

It took months of negotiations to clear the road to the 1996 Olympic equestrian events in Conyers, Ga.
And all that debate was over an organism too tiny to see that carries a big name -- equine piroplasmosis (Babesiosis) -- and an even bigger "stick."
"Piroplasmosis is a tick-borne disease that causes anemia," said Gary Heusner, a University of Georgia Extension Service animal scientist.
"The organism hasn't been endemic in Georgia," he said, "and that's the problem with allowing infected horses in."
To clear the final hurdle, the Georgia Department of Agriculture reached agreement with the Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI), the governing body of international equestrian competition.
The FEI agreed to follow strict conditions outlined in a 20-point proposal allowing piroplasmosis-positive horses into Georgia for the Games.
The parasite travels through the gut of ticks into the organs, especially the ovaries, where it multiplies and infects the tick's eggs.
The larvae hatch and penetrate the salivary glands, from which they are inoculated into horses.
"Piroplasmosis attacks the red blood cells of the host," Heusner said.
Infected horses become anemic and suffer fever, weight loss, jaundice and, in some cases, death.
"This issue has been a topic of debate and intensive study for over three years when piroplasmosis first became a concern," said Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Tommy Irvin, "and I feel that more than ample time has been dedicated to the decision on whether or not the positive horses will be allowed to enter the state."
Piroplasmosis was first clinically diagnosed from an imported horse from Cuba, in 1961. The parasite was first spotted in the United States in 1965 in Florida.
"There is one infected horse in Georgia," Heusner said. "He is under strict quarantine."
Piroplasmosis is endemic in Southern Europe, southern Russia, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Central and South America. The United States, the Netherlands, Ireland, Great Britain and Australia remain free of the parasite.
Piroplasmosis' incubation period is 12 to 30 days for the B. caballi strain and 12 to 15 days for B. equi.
The mortality rate depends on the general immune status of the affected horses and the virulence of the organism. The rate is highest among older horses from piroplasmosis-free areas.
"It's such a big deal because we are a nonendemic area and the mortality rate is higher among horses in nonendemic areas," Heusner said. "Horses in the U.S. are at greater risk of death if horses that test positive are allowed into the country."
Of the two types of piroplasmosis, only B. caballi is easily treated. Treatments include a type of chemotherapy.
Making matters more complicated, the type of tick that transmits piroplasmosis is found in Georgia and is in the feeding season during the months of the Olympics.
As the rules stand, all horses entering the United States must test negative to piroplasmosis, including U.S.-origin horses exported temporarily for competition.
The 20-point proposal put forth by the Department of Agriculture limits the number of positive horses that will be allowed to enter the state; eliminates positive horses from three-day events; and restricts the movement of positive horses once they enter the state.
"Now that a final decision has been made, we must focus all of our energy on the proper implementation of the safeguards outlined in the 20-point proposal," Irvin said.
"It has been and will continue to be my top priority throughout this debate to protect Georgia's and America's horse industry," he said, "and I feel confident that these measures will do just that."

MOTOR MOUTH: Twelve-cylinder blues - Now here's a question you don't hear very often. 'Exactly why would I want a Ferrari?' With the exception of the late middle-aged men in Tattersall check shirts and corduroy trousers whom you find at Eurotunnel driving vintage Ferraris to classic car meets in Rouen or Luxembourg, only a certain type of customer is attracted to this, the most evocative sports car of them all. And this type of customer is not a very attractive one.
Now here's a question you don't hear very often. 'Exactly why would I want a Ferrari?' With the exception of the late middle-aged men in Tattersall check shirts and corduroy trousers whom you find at Eurotunnel driving vintage Ferraris to classic car meets in Rouen or Luxembourg, only a certain type of customer is attracted to this, the most evocative sports car of them all. And this type of customer is not a very attractive one.
Yet, for most people with even a passing interest in cars, just to whisper the word Ferrari is to engage in something extreme and sensual, to join an international community with a shared commitment to beautiful excess.
The Ferrari cult's article of faith is bella figura. And who could deny their allegiance to it? True believers, stop here. Apostates, read on.
My vision of the modern Ferrari customer was formed a few summers ago in East Hampton, the Long Island Manhattan-on-Sea where Wall Street's most florid and finest go to spend more time with their money. It was a Saturday morning, kickback time, and brokers and bankers in brand-new Ralph Lauren warm-up suits were gathered on the sidewalk outside The Barefoot Contessa, East Hampton's celebrity deli where, as I recall, a cappuccino cost about dollars 14.
One such braying specimen, styrofoam to hand, got into his car, a strident giallo Ferrari Modena. He started it up, then, having no clue how to drive this exigent and overbred machine, proceeded up Main Street in a succession of dramatic, lurching bunny hops, only ultimately to stall the thing 200 yards thence.
For the dreamer, Ferraris may be the ultimate mechanical romance, but the cruel fact is they tend to appeal to complete idiots. And just so you don't feel bad about being poor, let me explain what the Ferrari driver gets for his money.
I've been using a Ferrari 575 Maranello, a front-engined car with a classic V-12 engine. As a design it is bruta figura rather than delightfully beautiful.
The time when a road-going Ferrari was a consumerised evolution of a successful racing car has passed, as have the days when great coachbuilders practised their wonderful art on Ferrari chassis. In design terms, Ferrari and its long-term bodywork collaborator Pininfarina are struggling to find a relevant language. The 575 is not very nice to look at. The same goes inside; it lacks any sense of being special, and physical quality is mediocre.
But the big event with a Ferrari is to start it up. This is quite good fun with the Maranello, but not as much fun as, say, an Aston-Martin Vanquish, which easily bests the Italian car in the sonic race towards those under-active hairs on the back of your neck. Still, 12 cylinders whir at low speed with a nice mechanical thrashing that rises to an apocalyptic howl, whose acoustic conclusion you are unlikely ever to hear unless you go for a long, lonely drive in the Nevada desert between Indian Springs and Lathrop Wells.
Never being realistically able to use all the 550hp is only one of the frustrations of a car that is compromised in many other ways as a driving experience. The quaint fly-off handbrake is awkwardly placed and you snag your knuckles. The gear-change is heavy and obstructive, while a few hours with the clutch is like doing leg-raises with buckets of wet sand.
In traffic, even the most insouciant will be sensitive to the responsibilities of steering pounds 160,000 of delicate metal, none of whose extremities can be seen from the driver's seat. Although the more highly evolved of the M25 species will acknowledge aristocracy and concede road space, the majority push in, which is a continuous pain. Sensationally explosive bursts of power can be experienced, but the Maranello is simply too big to encourage fast driving.
After a long, hot, angry journey in the Ferrari 575 I got into a new Audi A3 diesel and felt a surge of the purest, most intoxicating relief.
The 575 is an 'exciting' car that is really rather wretched. The A3 is a 'boring' car that is superb. Now, there. I've said it. I feel better now I need never think about Ferrari again. At least, till the next time.
FERRARI 575 MARANELLO - pounds 154,350.

È soprannominato El Pescadito (in italiano "il piccolo pesce").

Carriera

Club

Inizi
Ruiz ha iniziato la sua carriera calcistica nel club locale, il Municipal. Nel 2000 si è trasferito in Europa per giocare per un breve periodo a fianco del connazionale Guillermo Ramírez nel club greco del PAS Giannina. Tornato in America ha firmato un contratto con il Los Angeles Galaxy nel gennaio 2002.

Los Angeles Galaxy
Nella sua stagione di debutto Ruiz ha segnato 24 gol che hanno portato il Los Angeles Galaxy alla MLS Cup. È stato nominato MLS Most Valuable Player quell'anno. Nei play-off ha segnato 8 gol.

Dallas
Nel 2005, quando Landon Donovan ha espresso il suo desiderio di tornare alla Major League Soccer, il Los Angeles Galaxy ha ceduto Ruiz al Dallas per avere la prima posizione nella gerarchia MLS, in modo da poter acquisire Donovan. Ruiz ha terminato il suo primo anno a Dallas, con 11 gol e 2 assist. Durante la postseason, Ruiz ha segnato 2 gol nella partita di ritorno contro i Colorado Rapids, ma il Dallas è stato eliminato dopo i rigori.

Nel febbraio del 2006, la MLS ha completamente comprato i diritti del contratto dalla sua ex squadra e il Dallas è stato in grado di negoziare un accordo pluriennale.

Ritorno a Los Angeles
Dopo la conclusione della stagione 2007, Ruiz non voleva rimanere a Dallas ma tornare a Los Angeles. I precedenti tentativi di produrre un accordo non riuscirono in quanto il giocatore era quello designato come eccezione al salary cap e nel Los Angeles Galaxy erano nella stessa situazione Landon Donovan e, ovviamente, David Beckham. Nel gennaio 2008, il Dallas ha ceduto Ruiz al Los Angeles Galaxy per una cifra non resa nota e per la seconda posizione nel successivo MLS SuperDraft.

In apertura della stagione, però, Ruiz ha subito un infortunio al ginocchio e non ha potuto giocare per più di un mese. Mentre Ruiz era infortunato il Los Angeles Galaxy ha trovato un inaspettato potenziale in Edson Buddle e anche dopo iessere ritornato a disposizione, Ruiz è stato escluso dalla formazione per una partita di alto livello contro il D.C. United. Ha segnato il suo primo gol della stagione 2008 il 19 luglio, in una partita contro i New York Red Bulls.

Toronto
Ruiz è stato venduto il 19 agosto 2008 al Toronto FC. Qui ha giocato solo cinque partite, in cui non ha segnato nessun gol. È stato svincolato dal Toronto all'inizio del 2009 per far posto a Dwayne De Rosario.

Olimpia Asunción
Il 31 gennaio 2009 ha firmato un contratto con l'Olimpia Asunción, club paraguaiano, su richiesta dell'allora allenatore Ever Almeida. Ha segnato 10 gol ed era un beniamino dei tifosi. Una delle sue partite più memorabili fu quella contro il Cerro Porteño nel derby in cui l'Olimpia Asunción vinse 2-0. Inoltre, ha segnato una tripletta contro il Rubio Ñu in una vittoria per 5-3 dell'Olimpia Asunción.

Puebla
Il 30 giugno 2009 ha firmato un contratto con il Puebla, richiesto dall'allenatore José Luis Sánchez Sola. Il 25 luglio 2009, in una partita contro i Tigres, ha segnato il suo primo gol per il Puebla su rigore. Indossa il numero 20, che è lo stesso numero che ha precedentemente indossato nel Los Angeles Galaxy, nell Dallas, e nella Nazionale del Guatemala.

Aris Salonicco
Ruiz si è unito all'Aris Salonicco il 12 luglio 2010. Ha fatto il suo debutto il 18 agosto 2010 in un turno di preliminari di Europa League contro l'Austria Vienna. La gara di andata è stata giocata a Salonicco con una sua rete al suo esordio per dare una vittoria all'Aris di 1-0. Nella gara di ritorno, giocata a Vienna, ha segnato di nuovo in un pareggio di 1-1, dando all'Aris Salonicco una vittoria complessiva di un 2-1 e la qualificazione per la fase a gironi.

Philadelphia Union
Dopo aver giocato per una stagione all'Aris Salonicco, ritorna nella Major League Soccer con il Philadelphia Union il 22 febbraio 2011. Il 26 marzo ha segnato il gol della vittoria nella gara di apertura della stagione 2011 contro i Vancouver Whitecaps.

Veracruz
Il 3 agosto 2011, ritorna in Messico con il Veracruz.

DC United
Nel gennaio del 2013 torna in Major League Soccer nelle file del D.C. United.

Nazionale

In totale Ruiz ha disputato 133 partite e segnato 68 gol con la Nazionale guatemalteca e ha giocato le partite di qualificazione per la Coppa del Mondo FIFA del 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 e 2018. Ha giocato la sua prima partita internazionale l'11 novembre 1998, in un'amichevole contro il Messico, e ha realizzato il suo primo gol contro El Salvador nella Coppa delle Nazioni UNCAF del 1999.

Dopo aver segnato 8 gol in 9 partite nel corso della qualificazione al Mondiale del 2002, Ruiz è diventato il punto forte della Nazionale del Guatemala nelle qualificazioni per il Mondiale del 2006.

Il 14 giugno 2008, segnando 4 gol contro il Santa Lucia nella partita inaugurale per le qualificazioni alla Coppa del Mondo 2010, Ruiz ha superato Juan Carlos Plata come miglior marcatore della Nazionale guatemalteca. Ruiz raggiunse 39 gol complessivi, 4 più del totale di Plata. Ruiz divenne anche il primo giocatore del Guatemala a segnare 4 reti in una partita di qualificazione per il Mondiale.

When I look at images of my work, I see something so removed from the making process, I'm not sure what the viewer sees. Does a love for the tactile quality of clay, a curiosity about how things come together, dismay at how quickly they come apart at the seams reveal itself? Does a desire to patch it all back up, and overall, a big wish to find some fun along the way shine through? When I am working, this is what plays out like an e arworm.
Background and family are also an influence. My grandmother had a small dress shop in New Orleans. College Frocks was where clothing was sold, but also mended and altered so it fit each person perfectly. My mother had an interior design business, where whole houses or rooms or just one chair could come together and actually make a difference. My dad was an engineer. He never spoke about what he made; it was classified. He worked for APL. My sister lost her sight when she was a teenager; she still remembers colors. When I discovered clay, I loved how you could do almost anything with it. You form it, and it retains the memory of your touch. I also loved working in studios, many of them over the years. I loved what happened there, so different from anywhere else.
The losses hit hardest – loss of people, places and things; these, no one wants to talk about too much. I love to see how we all can, with help, dare to repair, and how we find fun, even if we have to learn to find it, along the way.

Q: How to mock method of Injected service in Spring Integration Tests I have following service class, that I want to test
@Service
public class MasterService {

    @Inject
    private ServiceOne serviceOne;

    @Autowired
    private ServiceTwo serviceTwo;

    @Inject
    private ServiceThree serviceThree;

    @VisibleForTesting
    void execute() {
        if (serviceThree.isFlag()) {
           ....
        }
    }

I am testing execute() method. I want to mock serviceThree.isFlag() to return true. Following is my test.
    public class MasterServiceIT{

        @Inject
        private MasterService masterService;

        @Inject
        private ServiceThree serviceThree;

        @Test
        public void testMasterService() {
            when(serviceThree.isFlag()).thenReturn(true); <---- this never works
            masterService.execute();
        }
    }

However, it never retrieves true. Any remarks? I wanted to use @InjectMocks Then can I inject only this service which I mocked? or I need to mock each service if I am using @InjectMocks

A: Are you sure that you need to mock for an integration test? Well, sometimes there are cases when we need to mock some service which refers to some external services like SharePoint, etc. Well if you need to mock so in this case you need to mock spring service bean in spring context. You can do it via @MockBean
