His strength
Two axes, bench, bow and arrow, spear, torch, and most likely cabers
He says goodbye to Merida and he and his father leave DunBroch
"If he was a wee bit closer, I could lob a caber at him, ye ken."
"It's just not fair making us fight for the hand of a quine who doesn't want any bit of it!"
Young MacGuffin is a minor character from the 2012 Disney/Pixar animated film, Brave. He is the son of Lord MacGuffin, and one of the suitors competing for Princess Merida's hand in marriage.
Despite his great size and greater strength, Young MacGuffin is a calm, gentle, and very shy lad. He speaks in an uncommon Scottish dialect that is incomprehensible to most, so his father must reiterate on his behalf.
As the oldest son of Lord MacGuffin, Young MacGuffin became one of the three suitors for Princess Merida. During his introduction, he proved his strength by snapping a log with his bare hands, but it was clear that he was uncomfortable being in front of an audience. He had dinner with Merida's two other suitors, Young Macintosh and Wee Dingwall, but excused himself to join King Fergus' bear-hunt through the castle.
Later, during Merida's speech to the Lords about letting their children decide their own fate, Young MacGuffin admitted to his father how unfair he thought the engagement competition was to them and Merida. He took part in (unwittingly) hunting down Queen Elinor in her bear form, and was present when she returned to human form.
At the end of the film, he said goodbye to the other clans, during which he accidently pushed Young Macintosh off the dock.
He appears in Once Upon a Time, in the episode "The Bear and the Bow".
According to his voice actor, Kevin McKidd, Young MacGuffin was going to be the suitor Merida chose before it was decided that she would remain single. However in an intereview with McKidd, he mentioned that Young MacGuffin, did in fact like Merida romantically.
On a related note, in a scene that was later cut, Merida shows interest in him, but was disappointed that she couldn't understand him.
He must have at least one younger brother, because when he's being presented to Merida along with the other two suitors, his dad refers to him as his eldest son.
Young MacGuffin lines are all in a dialect of Scots language known as Doric. Doric is traditionally spoken on the North Eastern Coast of Scotland, between Inverness and Stonehaven. Kevin McKidd, a Scots speaker, requested the use of Doric, these lines were originally intended to be in gibberish:
"Gif he war a wee bit closer A coud lob a caber at him, ye ken" (trans: "If he were a little bit closer I could throw a tree trunk at him, you know.")
"It's jist nae fair makin us ficht for the hand o the quine that disnae want any bit o it. Ken?" (trans: It's just not fair making us fight for the hand of the girl that doesn't want any part of it. You know?")
"Since yer sayin' it an' ah wisn't there t' see it maself, I'll gae ahead and take yer word fer it though." (trans: "Since you are saying it and I wasn't there to see it for myself, I'll go ahead and take your word for it.")

Can Sarri Stop 'Mentally Soft' Chelsea Slump?
It took 19 games for Maurizio Sarri to suffer defeat as Chelsea manager, but a stunning start to life at Stamford Bridge has quickly turned sour with the Italian lambasting his side's mental fortitude after Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Arsenal.
Sarri's men are still in pole position for a top-four finish, but now lead Arsenal and a resurgent Manchester United by just three points.
Under Abramovich, Chelsea managers don't tend to be given time if unsuccessful in their first season.
"It seems to me that, as a group of players, they're not aggressive from a mental point of view. They don't have a ferocity in their mentality," said Sarri.
Chelsea's early-season form owed much to the goals of Eden Hazard with Sarri claiming the Belgian was capable of scoring 40 this campaign.
Instead, Hazard has just 12 as his goals have dried up since he has been wedged into a centre-forward role due to Sarri's lack of faith in Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud.
Removing Hazard from his favoured position wide on the left of a front three has made it easier to crowd out Chelsea's most dangerous player.
Meanwhile, as Sarri demands more aggression, his most tenacious player, N'Golo Kante, is also out of position.
The Italian needs to find answers quickly to arrest Chelsea's slump with the finance and prestige of Champions League football paramount to his and Chelsea's future.

Wes Boone carried a sign quoting Graham's words from July 2017: "If Jeff Sessions is fired, there will be holy hell to pay".
That's raising questions about the fate of Mueller's investigation. Whitaker has been critical of Mueller's investigation, and his appointment has stoked fears that he will end it. A similar protest in Portland was attended by more than 300 people. When Sessions's previous chief of staff, Jody Hunt, was departing, Sessions brought Whitaker in for an interview and came to like him, the person said.
When the Democrats take over the House, they are expected to launch numerous probes of Trump, his business interests and his administrations.
At a press conference Wednesday, Trump branded CNN reporter Jim Acosta an "enemy of the people" when he posed questions, including about the Russian Federation probe, and refused to give up the mic.
"They can play that game but we can play it better, because we have a thing called the United States Senate", the president said. Trump, who denies any collusion, has long complained about the probe, calling it a witch-hunt.
The first was, we have heard leading Democrats, and now many people around the country today, saying Whitaker has to recuse himself because he has clearly expressed he's already made up his mind about Mueller's investigation. According to the department's most recent report, $10 million was spent from October 1, 2017, through March 31. Look, it's the Department of Justice investigation; it's not a congressional investigation.
If Sen. Graham is appointed chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he says he'll make sure President Trump's appointee gets confirmed as soon as possible. The group also urged people to pressure Congress to protect the Mueller investigation. Mueller's budget isn't affected by a current stopgap spending measure that expires on December 9.

Q: Como obtengo la direccion IP y PUERTO de un esp32 en python? HOLA ESTOY TRATANDO DE OBTENER LA DIRECCION IP Y PUERTO DE UN ESP32 MI OBJETIVO ES QUE AL MOMENTO QUE EL ESP32 SE CONECTE A LA RED WIFI, ESTE INMEDIATAMENTE MANDE LA IP Y PUERTO A PYTHON PARA QUE SE MUESTRE EN PYTHON, ESTOY USANDO SERVIDOR TCP

A: La direccion IP del ESP32 tiene que obtenerla el mismo ESP32 (lógico). Esa la obtiene el ESP32 en el momento que se conecta a la red WIFI, con un procedimiento que es básicamente igual para C++ o Python:
def WiFi_connect(ssid, password, host_name):
    """ Conecta a la red
        ssid: El id de la red WIFI
        password: pass del WIFI
        host_name: El nombre de host de este ESP32 (arbitrario)
    """
    station = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
    station.active(True)
    station.connect(ssid, password)
    station.config(dhcp_hostname=host_name)
    print("Connecting to WiFi ...")
    while not station.isconnected():
        time.sleep(1)

    print('Connection successful: %s' % station.config('dhcp_hostname'))
    print(station.ifconfig())

Entonces, después de conectarse al WIFI, station.ifconfig() produce una lista de cuatro IP:
Connecting to WiFi ...
Connection successful: server.home
('172.16.0.184', '255.255.0.0', '172.16.0.1', '172.16.0.1')

que son:

*

*IP asignada al ESP32.

*Máscara de red.

*Dirección IP del router.

*Dirección IP del DNS.

La dirección IP de tu Server PC tiene que estar configurada dentro del ESP32. Una vez que ESP32 se haya conectado al WiFi, puede conectarse al servidor preprogramado.
El ESP32 también puede operar como servidor. En este caso, tienes que elegir un puerto donde escuchar las conexiones que se iniciaran desde otros equipos en la red.
¿Cómo saben los otros equipos cual es la IP del ESP32? Usando el nombre que le asignastes, no la IP (que puede variar de una conexión a otra).

America: the capital of punishment →
If America Left Iraq
Posted on December 3, 2005 by Team VCS
The Atlantic Monthly
At some point—whether sooner or later—U.S. troops will leave Iraq. I have spent much of the occupation reporting from Baghdad, Kirkuk, Mosul, Fallujah, and elsewhere in the country, and I can tell you that a growing majority of Iraqis would like it to be sooner. As the occupation wears on, more and more Iraqis chafe at its failure to provide stability or even electricity, and they have grown to hate the explosions, gunfire, and constant war, and also the daily annoyances: having to wait hours in traffic because the Americans have closed off half the city; having to sit in that traffic behind a U.S. military vehicle pointing its weapons at them; having to endure constant searches and arrests. Before the January 30 elections this year the Association of Muslim Scholars—Iraq's most important Sunni Arab body, and one closely tied to the indigenous majority of the insurgency—called for a commitment to a timely U.S. withdrawal as a condition for its participation in the vote. (In exchange the association promised to rein in the resistance.) It's not just Sunnis who have demanded a withdrawal: the Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who is immensely popular among the young and the poor, has made a similar demand. So has the mainstream leader of the Shiites' Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, Abdel Aziz al-Hakim, who made his first call for U.S. withdrawal as early as April 23, 2003.
If the people the U.S. military is ostensibly protecting want it to go, why do the soldiers stay? The most common answer is that it would be irresponsible for the United States to depart before some measure of peace has been assured. The American presence, this argument goes, is the only thing keeping Iraq from an all-out civil war that could take millions of lives and would profoundly destabilize the region. But is that really the case? Let's consider the key questions surrounding the prospect of an imminent American withdrawal.
Would the withdrawal of U.S. troops ignite a civil war between Sunnis and Shiites?
No. That civil war is already under way—in large part because of the American presence. The longer the United States stays, the more it fuels Sunni hostility toward Shiite "collaborators." Were America not in Iraq, Sunni leaders could negotiate and participate without fear that they themselves would be branded traitors and collaborators by their constituents. Sunni leaders have said this in official public statements; leaders of the resistance have told me the same thing in private. The Iraqi government, which is currently dominated by Shiites, would lose its quisling stigma. Iraq's security forces, also primarily Shiite, would no longer be working on behalf of foreign infidels against fellow Iraqis, but would be able to function independently and recruit Sunnis to a truly national force. The mere announcement of an intended U.S. withdrawal would allow Sunnis to come to the table and participate in defining the new Iraq.
But if American troops aren't in Baghdad, what's to stop the Sunnis from launching an assault and seizing control of the city?
Sunni forces could not mount such an assault. The preponderance of power now lies with the majority Shiites and the Kurds, and the Sunnis know this. Sunni fighters wield only small arms and explosives, not Saddam's tanks and helicopters, and are very weak compared with the cohesive, better armed, and numerically superior Shiite and Kurdish militias. Most important, Iraqi nationalism—not intramural rivalry—is the chief motivator for both Shiites and Sunnis. Most insurgency groups view themselves as waging a muqawama—a resistance—rather than a jihad. This is evident in their names and in their propaganda. For instance, the units commanded by the Association of Muslim Scholars are named after the 1920 revolt against the British. Others have names such as Iraqi Islamic Army and Flame of Iraq. They display the Iraqi flag rather than a flag of jihad. Insurgent attacks are meant primarily to punish those who have collaborated with the Americans and to deter future collaboration.
Wouldn't a U.S. withdrawal embolden the insurgency?
No. If the occupation were to end, so, too, would the insurgency. After all, what the resistance movement has been resisting is the occupation. Who would the insurgents fight if the enemy left? When I asked Sunni Arab fighters and the clerics who support them why they were fighting, they all gave me the same one-word answer: intiqaam—revenge. Revenge for the destruction of their homes, for the shame they felt when Americans forced them to the ground and stepped on them, for the killing of their friends and relatives by U.S. soldiers either in combat or during raids.
But what about the foreign jihadi element of the resistance? Wouldn't it be empowered by a U.S. withdrawal?
The foreign jihadi element—commanded by the likes of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi—is numerically insignificant; the bulk of the resistance has no connection to al-Qaeda or its offshoots. (Zarqawi and his followers have benefited greatly from U.S. propaganda blaming him for all attacks in Iraq, because he is now seen by Arabs around the world as more powerful than he is; we have been his best recruiting tool.) It is true that the Sunni resistance welcomed the foreign fighters (and to some extent still do), because they were far more willing to die than indigenous Iraqis were. But what Zarqawi wants fundamentally conflicts with what Iraqi Sunnis want: Zarqawi seeks re-establishment of the Muslim caliphate and a Manichean confrontation with infidels around the world, to last until Judgment Day; the mainstream Iraqi resistance just wants the Americans out. If U.S. forces were to leave, the foreigners in Zarqawi's movement would find little support—and perhaps significant animosity—among Iraqi Sunnis, who want wealth and power, not jihad until death. They have already lost much of their support: many Iraqis have begun turning on them. In the heavily Shia Sadr City foreign jihadis had burning tires placed around their necks. The foreigners have not managed to establish themselves decisively in any large cities. Even at the height of their power in Fallujah they could control only one neighborhood, the Julan, and they were hated by the city's resistance council. Today foreign fighters hide in small villages and are used opportunistically by the nationalist resistance.
When the Americans depart and Sunnis join the Iraqi government, some of the foreign jihadis in Iraq may try to continue the struggle—but they will have committed enemies in both Baghdad and the Shiite south, and the entire Sunni triangle will be against them. They will have nowhere to hide. Nor can they merely take their battle to the West. The jihadis need a failed state like Iraq in which to operate. When they leave Iraq, they will be hounded by Arab and Western security agencies.
What about the Kurds? Won't they secede if the United States leaves?
Yes, but that's going to happen anyway. All Iraqi Kurds want an independent Kurdistan. They do not feel Iraqi. They've effectively had more than a decade of autonomy, thanks to the UN-imposed no-fly zone; they want nothing to do with the chaos that is Iraq. Kurdish independence is inevitable—and positive. (Few peoples on earth deserve a state more than the Kurds.) For the moment the Kurdish government in the north is officially participating in the federalist plan—but the Kurds are preparing for secession. They have their own troops, the peshmerga, thought to contain 50,000 to 100,000 fighters. They essentially control the oil city of Kirkuk. They also happen to be the most America-loving people I have ever met; their leaders openly seek to become, like Israel, a proxy for American interests. If what the United States wants is long-term bases in the region, the Kurds are its partners.
Would Turkey invade in response to a Kurdish secession?
For the moment Turkey is more concerned with EU membership than with Iraq's Kurds—who in any event have expressed no ambitions to expand into Turkey. Iraq's Kurds speak a dialect different from Turkey's, and, in fact, have a history of animosity toward Turkish Kurds. Besides, Turkey, as a member of NATO, would be reluctant to attack in defiance of the United States. Turkey would be satisfied with guarantees that it would have continued access to Kurdish oil and trade and that Iraqi Kurds would not incite rebellion in Turkey.
Would Iran effectively take over Iraq?
No. Iraqis are fiercely nationalist—even the country's Shiites resent Iranian meddling. (It is true that some Iraqi Shiites view Iran as an ally, because many of their leaders found safe haven there when exiled by Saddam—but thousands of other Iraqi Shiites experienced years of misery as prisoners of war in Iran.) Even in southeastern towns near the border I encountered only hostility toward Iran.
What about the goal of creating a secular democracy in Iraq that respects the rights of women and non-Muslims?
Give it up. It's not going to happen. Apart from the Kurds, who revel in their secularism, Iraqis overwhelmingly seek a Muslim state. Although Iraq may have been officially secular during the 1970s and 1980s, Saddam encouraged Islamism during the 1990s, and the difficulties of the past decades have strengthened the resurgence of Islam. In the absence of any other social institutions, the mosques and the clergy assumed the dominant role in Iraq following the invasion. Even Baathist resistance leaders told me they have returned to Islam to atone for their sins under Saddam. Most Shiites, too, follow one cleric or another. Ayatollah al-Sistani—supposedly a moderate—wants Islam to be the source of law. The invasion of Iraq has led to a theocracy, which can only grow more hostile to America as long as U.S. soldiers are present. Does Iraqi history offer any lessons?
The British occupation of Iraq, in the first half of the twentieth century, may be instructive. The British faced several uprisings and coups. The Iraqi government, then as now, was unable to suppress the rebels on its own and relied on the occupying military. In 1958, when the government the British helped install finally fell, those who had collaborated with them could find no popular support; some, including the former prime minister Nuri Said, were murdered and mutilated. Said had once been a respected figure, but he became tainted by his collaboration with the British. That year, when revolutionary officers overthrew the government, Said disguised himself as a woman and tried to escape. He was discovered, shot in the head, and buried. The next day a mob dug up his corpse and dragged it through the street—an act that would be repeated so often in Iraq that it earned its own word: sahil. With the British-sponsored government gone, both Sunni and Shiite Arabs embraced the Iraqi identity. The Kurds still resent the British perfidy that made them part of Iraq.
What can the United States do to repair Iraq?
There is no panacea. Iraq is a destroyed and fissiparous country. Iranians and Saudis I've spoken to worry that it might be impossible to keep Iraq from disintegrating. But they agree that the best hope of avoiding this scenario is if the United States leaves; perhaps then Iraqi nationalism will keep at least the Arabs united. The sooner America withdraws and allows Iraqis to assume control of their own country, the better the chances that Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari won't face sahil. It may be decades before Iraq recovers from the current maelstrom. By then its borders may be different, its vaunted secularism a distant relic. But a continued U.S. occupation can only get in the way.

The pan measures 7-1/4″ across the pouring spouts and it is 1-3/8″ tall. It has noticeable movement when I press firmly on the rims – as such it is only suitable for raised cooktops such as gas.
I cleaned this sweet little pan to bare iron and seasoned it with one coat of Crisco vegetable shortening. It is ready for use and display!

New mixed-use development replacing long-vacant Howard Street lot in Rogers Park
The six-story project will deliver 38 apartments and retail space to the North Side neighborhood
By Jay Koziarz May 23, 2018, 12:06pm CDT
49th Ward
A long-vacant parcel at the intersection of Howard Street and Bosworth Avenue is ready to bite the dust for a new six-story, transit-oriented development in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood.
Known officially as the Howard Rogers Lofts, the project will feature 38 rental units, 2,900 square feet of retail space, a rooftop deck, and parking for 21 vehicles and 40 bikes. It comes from developers Cornerstone LLC and Watermark Equity Group with design by Chicago's Laszlo Simovic Architects.
The upcoming frame and masonry structure will replace two vacant buildings and a surface lot at 1531 N. Howard Street. A previous developer proposed a five-story retail and condominium building at this location but those plans fell victim to the Great Recession. The current project is being pursued "as of right" with no requested changes to the site's underlying zoning
While the new building may not necessarily seem like an earth-shattering design, it is significant given its location. "[This] is the first privately-financed, market rate development on Howard Street east of the CTA tracks in decades," said 49th Ward Alderman Joe Moore in an email to residents.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the Howard Rogers Lofts is set for Thursday, May 24 at 10:00 a.m. The developers expect construction to take roughly 12 months and anticipate a summer 2019 completion.
Access to the development's single-story garage will come from N. Rogers Avenue at the site's southern edge.

Zeh Kaporosi: The Custom of Kaporos Reviewed by Rabbi Ari Enkin
by Alex Orlov | Aug 7, 2013 | Review
Rabbi Avrohom Reit has just released his latest work: Zeh Kaporosi: The Custom of Kaporos. The author, a noted talmid chacham and close confidant of Rav Dovid Feinstein, might just be the first person to compile a work that deals exclusively with the enigmatic custom of Kaparot. The presentation is exceptionally crisp, clear, and comprehensible. Complementing the text are small sized real-life photographs (some of which might not be for the squeamish!). It is a one-stop shop for everything Kaparot.
The sefer opens with the origins of the kaparot custom. Readers may be surprised to learn that Kaparot –in some form at least- might date back to the Talmudic era, with Rashi testifying about a custom to use a plant for Kaparot. The author presents the relevant literature from the Talmud, geonim, and rishonim that discusses the performance and evolution of the ceremony. Indeed, there is a full explanation and commentary on all the aspects of Kaparot from start to finish. Readers will learn that there are many different aspects to the Kaparot ceremony, including symbolism and association with korbanot, blessings, "distracting the Satan," the akeida, and more. One will certainly come away from this sefer realizing that Kaparot is far more than simply "transferring one's sins to a chicken."
Although the text is essentially well-balanced –- as it must be for a somewhat controversial topic such as this — the author is somewhat obsessive in his pro-Kaparot agenda. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to suggest that some readers might come away with the impression that those who do not perform Kaparot are not fully observant. He also makes it clear that, in his opinion, the legitimacy of Kaparot performed with anything but a chicken (to the exclusion of fish and money which have become popular in many circles) is questionable at best. Indeed, even in the chapter on using money for Kaparot, there is a veiled accusation that the "minhag" to do so is essentially baseless and canonized by none other than the 1987 edition of the Artscroll Siddur.
Footnotes are generally limited to primary sources and those which are most accessible. There is a useful Hebrew appendix at the back of the sefer which contains many of these and other sources in their original. In addition to the main topic of Kaparot, there are also sections that deal with the issues of tza'ar baalei chaim, a general overview of the mitzvah of kisui hadam, and a very thorough step-by-step practical guide to kashering chickens at home.
I would like to take this opportunity to comment on some of the interesting halachot discussed in the chapter on kisui hadam. The author states that one who recites the accompanying blessing after performing kisui hadam has recited a bracha levatala. Although the blessing should certainly be recited before performing the kisui hadam –in accordance with normative halacha– it might be inaccurate to say that one who recited the blessing after covering the blood has recited a bracha levatala.
In the opinion of the Behag, and others, the blessing should actually be recited after performing the kisui hadam. This is because these authorities are of the opinion that from the start of the shechita until the kisui hadam is completed is one long continuous mitzva. According to this approach, when one begins to cover the blood after the shechita, one is essentially in the middle of the mitzva! And a blessing is never recited when one is in the middle of performing a mitzva! In other words, the blessing recited on the shechita is essentially the "bracha rishona" of this one long mitzva, and the blessing recited after all the blood has been covered is the "bracha achrona".
As mentioned, however, normative halacha is not in accordance with this view, as most authorities rule that the shechita and the kisui hadam are two distinct and independent mitzvot. According to this approach, the blessing should definitely be recited before performing kisui hadam. Nevertheless, the Pri Chadash takes the view of the Behag into consideration and rules that one who accidentally went ahead and covered the blood before reciting the blessing may nevertheless recite the blessing afterward. This also seems to be the view of the Yeshuot Yaakov 19 and Shaagat Aryeh 26.
Additionally, while the author correctly notes that one is not required to ensure that every last drop of blood is covered when performing kisui hadam, it is interesting to note that the Chinuch 187 and others do indeed require that the blood be entirely covered. An extra handful of sawdust should make complying with this opinion quick and easy.
Finally, the issue of whether or not one should recite shehecheyanu when performing the mitzvah of kisui hadam for the first time is also an intriguing topic. The Rema, YD 28:2 and the Mateh Efraim are of the opinion that shehecheyanu should indeed be recited when performing kisui hadam for the first time. On the other hand, the Shach, YD 28:5 and the Pri Chadash, YD 28:5 rule that it should not be recited. Although Rabbi Reit advises against reciting shehecheyanu, he offers readers the option of preparing a new fruit (or presumably a new shirt) for those who wish to do so. According to this approach, when reciting the shehecheyanu one should have in mind that it is intended to cover both the mitzva of kisui hadam as well as the new item.
Although chickens around the world have already come out in fierce opposition to this new sefer, do not be swayed by their claims of Amorite influence. The sefer is exceptionally well done and superbly written for all audiences. With its supplementary sections, it is sure to serve well as a reference guide throughout the year and not just during the Kaparot season. Whether you're the type that considers Kaparot to be on par with issues such as Shabbat, Kashrut, and Nidda or alternatively, on par with issues such as upsherin, nittel nacht, and silly red strings, this is certainly a valuable sefer and a worthwhile contribution to the world of Halacha and Minhag literature in English.
Rabbi Ari N. Enkin, who performs some form of Kaparot in most years, is a resident of Ramat Beit Shemesh and a researcher and writer of contemporary halachic issues. He is the author of "The Dalet Amot Halacha Series" (5 Vol.) among other works of halacha. He welcomes books of a halachic nature for review. rabbiari@hotmail.com

On April 26, the Churchill Club held a panel discussion, "The CIO Agenda: Building the New IT" (podcast here). The panelists include four CIOs--Lars Rabbe of Yahoo (listen to my separate podcast interview with Raabe), Geir Ramleth of Bechtel Group, John Johnson of Intel and Randall Spratt of McKesson Corp. The moderator was Dave Margulius, an analyst with Enterprise Insight.
From left: moderator Dave Margulius, John Johnson (Intel), Randall Spratt (McKesson), Lars Raabe (Yahoo) and Geir Ramleth (Bechtel Group)
The discussion didn't focus on 'building a new IT,' as the title suggested, but rather on aligning and integrating business and IT. Spratt noted the shift away from IT is as a utilty, measured by cost, to more a business within the business at McKesson, assisting units within the $80 billion vendor of information systems for the healthcare market to deploy technology to help drive the top line. He's looking at per unit costs for IT, such as for deploying telephony services to an employee or supporting a server, and driving it down to create additional capital for reinvestment. "We need to price services competitively," Spratt said.
Spratt also said that the likelihood of an IT project failing is directly related to the IT connection with a business partner. IT is an enabler--the change management function around that and engagement in changing a process or solving problem is an indicator if it will succeed, he said.
Outsourcing is one avenue toward competitive pricing. Bechtel's Ramleth said that he hasn't found economies of scale externally for his business, other than some offshore programming. Labor arbitrage can be done inside or outside of a company, Raabe said.
Ramleth brought up the challenges of protecting intellectual property(IP), including work processes and supporting applications for Bechtel's engineering and construction business, across cultures and nations, which may have differing views on IP rights.
Some lively discussion revolved around handling vendor relationships. "The biggest problem is ankle biting," Spratt said. "There is a tremendous amount of gnawing at the base of our organization," he added, referring to vendors who try to sell into his organization via local offices. As a result, competing standards crop up with the company. Spratt is addressing the low level penetration problem by opening up more to vendors about McKesson's strategic plan.
Spratt is also in favor of the ongoing industry consolidation. Too many companies are spending money doing the same R&D, he said. "You run the risk of lock-in to a loser in war or predatory pricing," he said. He advised having good contracts, which reminded me of what Motorola's CIO Toby Redshaw had to say about negotiating vendor contracts:
"The real trick is having a hard core deal team that understands the IT environment, but is a genetic cross of pit bulls and piranhas and is better at sales than the people [vendors] who show up."
Ramleth identified the "Salesforce.com model" as having a lot of value. "It gets selected by people with a pain point, rather than top down," he said. In particular, he admired the continous development cycle and self-teaching aspects (you don't need a manual for Salesforce.com or Yahoo, but you do for SAP, he said) of many of the hosted application services. "We could never do that...we would be bogged down...we have to learn to be more agile and responsive to the business." Software applications have to become more viral, intuitive and easier to deploy, Ramleth added.

The Domestication Of Danthonia Linkii, A Native Australian&nbs...
G M Lodge
NSW Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Centre Tamworth, 2340 NSW
Native and natural pastures in New South Wales cover about 60 million hectares, much of which area is unsuited to crop production and the sowing of exotic pasture species because of low or unreliable rainfall. Even in the higher rainfall Slopes and Tablelands areas of New South Wales, natural pastures predominate. For example, approximately 71% of the 5.4 million hectares of rural holdings on the northern Slopes and Tablelands are comprised of native and natural pastures, which when undeveloped carry less than 2.0 DSE per ha.
In these environments, conditions for pasture growth are favourable, fertilizer is used over some 40% of the total pasture area and large areas of sown pasture occur on the Tablelands. Despite these developments, carrying capacities are alarmingly low, averaging only 3.0 DSE per ha.
Present animal production from native and natural pastures is severely restricted by the low availability of green forage in winter and early spring (1). The sowing of winter green native perennial grasses would not only increase production by extending the length of the effective grazing season, but would also reduce costs. Native grasses are adapted to the environment. They have evolved under harsh conditions of periodic drought and inherent low soil fertility. As such they could have less re-establishment and lower maintenance costs than pastures based on more traditional grass species. In recent droughts the adaptability of the native perennial grasses to harsh conditions has proved valuable to graziers. While the concept of domestication of native grasses is relatively new to Australian agriculture, it has been widely and successfully used overseas to develop new cultivars from native ecotypes. Yearlong green species such as Danthonia are among the most highly regarded grasses of native pastures and provide substantial quantities of high quality green forage in winter (2). The NSW Department of Agriculture has recently undertaken a program to domesticate Danthonia spp by a two stage process of selection and breeding. In the first stage plants will be collected from natural populations and evaluated to determine the extent of their genetic variability and to identify desirable traits and superior individuals. Both agronomic and floral characteristics are being examined together with measurements of seed retention and yield, and seedling vigour. The second stage of the program involves the selection or breeding of advanced lines for release as new cultivars. Cytogenetical studies are being conducted to determine the ploidy level of the plants collected and assess their suitability for breeding (3).
At Tamworth 3,000 individual D linkii and D richardsonii plants collected from 500 sites in New South Wales have been planted out in nursery rows. These are being assessed for vegetative morphology, growth, time of flowering, seed retention, seedhead morphology and seed dormancy. Studies are also being conducted on seed yield and seedling vigour, characteristics considered essential for successful domestication (4).
The overall objective of this program will be to provide seed supplies of Danthonia spp for commercial sowings. As yet no native grasses have been domesticated for use in Australian agriculture.

I was ticked when I first heard Soundgarden sing the words "I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota" in the 1990s hit song "Outshined."
Minnesota, where I was born, gets such a bad rap. Sure, it's cold. Yes, the mosquitoes are big. And, no, it's not as glamorous as Cali, where I live now. But I grew up on great memories visiting my grandparents and aunts/uncles/cousins near the Twin Cities and in farm country. Later in life as a golf writer, I've played some fun rounds on some terrific golf courses in Minnesota.
Several titanic golf events have unfolded in Minnesota at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska in the last decade - Team USA's rousing victory at the 2016 Ryder Cup Matches and Y.E. Yang's shocking takedown of Tiger Woods at the 2009 PGA Championship.
In honor of the ongoing 'Summer Swing' series on the Golf Channel's Morning Drive, I've put together a "best of" story featuring Minnesota's finest public golf courses and resorts. I reached out to a few golf industry friends on the ground -- including Minnesota-based golf writer Eric Hart -- for a few assists. You might not agree with my selections, but that's the point. With nearly 500 courses, there will be plenty of debates where nobody wins and everybody's right.
Built on the site of an old sand and gravel mining operation, The Quarry at Giants Ridge in Biwabik is as rugged as it is beautiful. If it weren't so remote -- located three hours north of the Twin Cities near the Superior National Forest -- more golfers would be raving about it.
There might be bigger clubhouses, but no building sets the mood for a rustic round of golf quite like the log cabin at Deacon's Lodge at Breezy Point Resort. Visit Palmer's Grille before or after the round.
The Wilderness Grill at The Wilderness at Fortune Bay in Tower serves spectacular food with a view to match. Hart raves about the Wild Duck Soup.
Giants Ridge, managed by Troon Golf, features two spectacular tracks: The Quarry and The Legend, designed by Jeff Brauer. The courses play completely different from one another.
All ages will love Madden's on Gull Lake in Brainerd several hours north of the Twin Cities. A waterpark -- complete with trampoline, a swim platform and water bouncers -- attracts children to the lake, but there are four other swimming pools (one indoors). Parents will savor the fine food, spa and golf.
Buddies can stay in the golf cabins at Deacon's Lodge at Breezy Point for some backwoods bonding. With two fine courses, Bobby's Legacy and Dutch Legacy, Cragun's Resort and Hotel on Gull Lake in Brainerd rates as a close second.
The Grand View Lodge Golf Resort & Spa in Nisswa has been entertaining guests for a century. Restaurants, a spa, golf, outdoor recreation -- it's all here.
Chaska Town Course in Chaska, west of the Twin Cities, co-hosted the 2006 U.S. Amateur with Hazeltine, so it can test the best. Arthur Hills routed the course through wetlands and marsh typical of many courses in the state.
Brauer has renovated and revived Superior National at Lutsen, a scenic 27-hole course overlooking Lake Superior four hours northeast of the Twin Cities. By spending $4.5 million, ownership is pushing for a "Top 100" type of experience.
Minnesota's long-standing PGA Tour Champions event, the 3M Championship, held at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, provides free tickets for anybody who wants to come. How cool is that?
The Wilds Golf Club, a Tom Weiskopf/Jay Morrish design in Prior Lake, isn't for the meek. Its 154 slope is the highest in the state.
Golf Advisor users love The Jewel Golf Club in Lake City southeast of the Twin Cities, ranking it 14th among the nation's top 50 courses costing less than $50. The Hal Irwin design sits on bluffs above the Mississippi River.
The endless choices of resorts (Cragun's, Maddens, Grand View Lodge, Breezy Point) and courses (Deacon's Lodge, The Classic, The Pines, The Preserve, Dutch Legacy, Bobby's Legacy, etc.) give Brainerd Lakes the edge over Giants Ridge.


Gestational diabetes is a special type of diabetes in which some women (about 3-10%) who do not have previously diagnosed diabetes will exhibit high blood glucose levels during their pregnancy, most typically during their third trimester. This occurs because their insulin receptors do not function properly, so do not take up glucose as they normally do, much similar to normal type two diabetes. Gestational diabetes rarely has many symptoms, but because of aggressive health screening of the mother during pregnancy, is usually found through these tests. Gestational diabetes carries with it some of the same risks as pregnancy with more typical variations of diabetes, including: the fetus being large for their gestational age, which can cause delivery complications, jaundice, and if left untreated can cause such serious results as seizures or stillbirth. If not properly treated, the mother also has an increased chance of forming type two diabetes after the pregnancy. Gestational diabetes, however, is very treatable, with the best bet being a natural remedy of healthy food planning.
How can I treat Gestational Diabetes?
Treating gestational diabetes is very similar to treating type two diabetes, though it may not need as long term an intervention due to it's connection with the pregnancy itself. If it is treated early, it can be prevented from developing into full diabetes mellitus. By controlling the amount of glucose building up in the blood, unhealthy and dangerous side effects can be minimized, until the condition subsides.
Avoid ALL forms of sugar. Honey, syrups, sodas, sugar in your tea or coffee, desserts, foods with added sugar, all of it! These will wreak havoc on your blood sugar levels and progress to getting your insulin receptors working properly again. Keep your carbs coming in from whole sources, such as vegetables (broccoli, sweet potatoes, etc.) and whole grains (quinoa, brown rices, etc.).
Eat Often! Every 2-3 hours you should be having at least a small snack. This may not be ideal when not faced with gestational diabetes, but having at least a small snack every 2-3 hours between meals, such as nuts or vegetables, will help regulate your blood sugar. Protein is a big helper here as well, so the nuts are a great choice.
Take a log of your blood sugar levels, and if you note consistent spots where they spike, such as after a major meal, take a walk for 5-20 minutes to help force your muscles and other cells into absorbing some of the build up glucose and insulin.

Horniman Museum and Gardens
The Horniman Museum and Gardens in Forest Hill, South London, sits within 16 acres of award winning landscaped gardens with breath taking views across the city skyline.
The Horniman is home to three unique spaces available for private hire. An elegant Victorian Grade II listed Conservatory, an Edwardian Grade II listed Bandstand, and a sleek contemporary Pavilion. The Museum itself houses internationally important collections of anthropology and musical instruments, a fascinating Natural History Gallery and an acclaimed Aquarium. The recent addition of a Butterfly House makes the Horniman a truly unique and inspiring destination.
The elegant Grade II listed Victorian Conservatory provides a large, bright, open space that is perfect for weddings, receptions and other special occasions. The cast iron and glass structure was originally built by the Horniman family in 1894 and has recently been enhanced with modern interior lighting and heating underneath a beautiful new tiled floor. The Conservatory stands within a stylish private terrace next to the Museum with easy access to the Gardens. The maximum capacity for the Conservatory is 120 but with the addition of a marquee we can accommodate up to 150 for an evening reception after dinner.
The Pavilion is located in a quiet corner of the Horniman Gardens. It is a relaxed and contemporary space that is ideal for meetings, conferences, receptions and parties. The venue's floor to ceiling windows open up to give full access to a large private terrace with stunning views.
The Bandstand, with its picturesque setting overlooking the Horniman Gardens and with the London skyline in the background, is a delightful location for intimate celebrations. The Bandstand has recently been restored to show-off its original Victorian features.

Home Ask Vance Safety Patrol GIRLS at Memphis City Schools?
Safety Patrol GIRLS at Memphis City Schools?
by Vance Lauderdale
I've written many times before about the quasi-military Safety Patrols that guarded the lives of children attending schools in Memphis. Most of those stories were written in the "dark ages" — before the Internet — so I can't even provide you with a handy link to them here.
But some of you surely remember the Safety Patrol boys, with their white sashes (yellow if you were lucky enough to be elected "captain" of the squad), wide-brimmed white plastic helmets, and wooden poles with the red warning flags. (In bad weather, you wore bright yellow raincoats and clunky black rainboots, which made the uniform complete.) These brave children would stand on street corners around the city's schools and help their fellow students cross the streets, by walking out into traffic and blocking the oncoming cars and trucks with their red flags.
Most of these jobs went to boys, and girls were usually relegated to hall-monitor duties.
But what about the all-girl schools around town? Well, as this photo from their 1961 yearbook clearly shows, St. Mary's School for Girls did indeed employ females on their Safety Patrol squads, and they got to wear the same gear as the guys.
And look, St. Mary's even got one of those cool "street cop" signs — brightly painted metal policemen that you rolled out into the street (they had two wheels mounted at the base) to warn drivers to SLOW DOWN because this was a school zone. Some of these turn up now and then in antique malls, selling for hundreds of dollars.
Memories of a long-ago time, huh? Does any school in Memphis still have Safety Patrols? Or do the kids just play dodge-em with the traffic?
