Jeb brings presidential campaign to Bristol, helps Virginia senate candidates

By Lynn R. Mitchell

Governor Jeb Bush. September 24, 2015. Bristol, Virginia.

Impressive. That was my first thought reflecting on Thursday’s fundraiser with Governor Jeb Bush to help Republican state senate candidates retain their majority in Virginia’s General Assembly. In an election year when all 40 seats are up for reelection, Republicans hold a slim 21-19 lead. Demonstrating the team effort that has been stressed as absolutely necessity, Governor Bush emphasized, “We have to be a team of conservatives that reach out to everybody to win.”

It wasn’t his first time helping Virginia Republicans. Earlier this year he donated $10,000 to the cash-strapped Republican Party of Virginia.

Thursday’s mid-day event at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum in Bristol was a fundraiser, not for Jeb, but by Jeb, for the Virginia Senate Republican Caucus, drawing many notables from the 9th Congressional District and beyond including Senator Bill Carrico, Senator Ryan McDougle who moderated the event, Senator Bill Chafin, Delegate Israel O’Quinn, Delegate Will Morefield, Delegate Terry Kilgore, and senate candidate Nancy Dye.

There was an air of excitement and those attending were eager to hear from the former Florida governor. First thought when he walked into the building was that he is tall — very tall at 6’3″ — and handsome, cutting a striking figure in suit, white dress shirt, and blue tie. Smiling and comfortable, he moved easily from media cluster to greeting attendees to talking policy including his goals in the 2016 quest to win the Republican presidential nomination. He never mentioned the large field of contenders but indicated to press afterward that he was in for the long haul.

As he spoke, he demonstrated his knowledge and experience that were indicative of a very successful two-term governor with a proven conservative track record in finding solutions to issues that concern Americans, such as jobs, the economy, and EPA regulations.

The latter is an especially inflammatory subject in the coal country of southwestern Virginia that has been hit hard during the Obama administration resulting in shutdowns and worker layoffs. Governor Bush called for a roll-back of aggressive EPA regulations, as noted by reporter Robert Sorrell with the Bristol Herald Courier:

“I think we need to roll back the aggressive EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] for starters, not just as it relates to coal, but water and air,” Bush said.

He added:

“There’s always a need to protect the environment for sure, but also to protect the economic interest of communities and people trying to make a living.”

Governor Bush was at ease as he sat at the front of the large crowd, flanked on both sides by the Virginia state senators and 21st senate candidate Nancy Dye. The delegates were sitting in the front row as well as a Tennessee state senator (Bristol is, after all, half in Virginia and half in Tennessee) as the governor conveyed his thoughts about the future for the country. On display was that always-present Bush family optimism that we are a great nation. He also showed the family traits of wit and easy laughter.

His response to questions asked by the crowd was not sound bites or platitudes but rather a demonstration of his thorough understanding of deeply complicate issues: job creation, economic growth, the need to rein in taxes, spending, and EPA regulations. He is strong national defense … I want the country to be safe for my family.

It was interesting to read about a local resident who was interviewed by reporter Sorrell:

Local resident Roger Graham, a retired professor, did not attend the fundraising event, but managed to greet Bush outside the museum.

“I encouraged my students years ago to be up front and see what’s really going,” Graham said. “I like to see them. I’ve gone out of my way to do this.”

Graham added that he’s interested in Bush because he believes the candidate wants to talk about the issues and represent the common man.

Quite frankly, Jeb Bush is exactly the kind of leader I want, and Thursday confirmed that. He’s a policy wonk who studies and reads and researches to increase his knowledge of far more issues than I can wrap my brain around. I don’t want a showman or a reality television star, and I certainly do not want anyone who has never held public office so would enter the White House on Day 1 with a hugely steep learning curve. Jeb’s conservative record proves he doesn’t just talk the talk but that he also walks the walk. I also like an optimist — not a sky-is-falling-everyday-of-the-week person but rather someone who sees that we are already a great nation and who is willing to roll up his shirt sleeves to make it even better.

Three of us traveled to Bristol together and we realized later that the vehicle that Jeb was riding in to the event was the one following us as we drove down the street to the venue location. I certainly hope he enjoyed the view of the “Jeb!” bumper sticker we sported on our bumper. We saw them stop a block or two before the museum, and later read news reports that he had surprised employees when he dropped in to get a cup of coffee from the nearby Blackbird Bakery. I don’t doubt he needed coffee with the schedule he is keeping these days. Later he tweeted, “If you’re ever in Bristol, Virginia —@Blackbirdbake is the best spot for a cup of coffee. Hands down.”

In southwestern Virginia they take their country music seriously, and their politics even more so. Both points were proven Thursday.

Big Heavy Survey

Soundbites: The Jazz Guys, The Benders

Published May 21, 2008 at 1:19 p.m.

The Jazz Guys
  • The Jazz Guys

As the adage goes, "Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one." Because there are opinions on virtually every subject under the sun, it can be a daunting task to sift through the cacophony of talking heads and raving lunatics to filter out the good from the bad. But that's exactly what Jim Lockridge and his Big Heavy World crew are attempting to do, and they need our help.

In a seemingly unlikely pairing, the nonprofit champions of Vermont-made music have teamed up with the Lake Champlain Chamber of Commerce and its "Leadership Champlain" program to find ways to better support Vermont musicians and get the word out about the state's thriving music community. And what better way to figure out how to do that than to ask the musicians, venue owners and fans of Vermont music?

Toward that end, BHW has crafted a quick survey soliciting ideas. Most of the questions are demographical in nature - age, how often you see live music, how much you spend on live music each year, boxers or briefs, etc.

But the crux of the query centers on the ever-popular essay question (I love essay questions!). It reads: "What initiatives do you believe would grow the Vermont music scene and allow musicians to thrive as performers in Vermont?" Whoa. That's a good one. Where to begin . . .

How about local clubs booking more local fare in tandem with some of the bigger-name national and regional touring acts that swing through town? And just so we're clear, that suggestion is not directed at any club in particular. And to be fair, scheduling the opening act for larger shows is a decision often not left to booking agents. Still, it'd be nice.

I could go on. But methinks I'll espouse the rest of my opinions at You should, too.

Speaking of going to see local music - that's what I'm supposed to speak of, right? - there is a veritable smorgasbord of locally raised music and art happening this Friday at Club Metronome.

Dubbed the "Big Bad Box Variety Show," the evening is essentially a celebration of the wide variety of artists and entertainers who call the legendary Pine Street studio space home. And there are a lot of 'em.

For those who are unfamiliar, The Box has been a cornerstone of the Burlington arts scene for half a decade. Back in the day, shows and parties at the massive, labyrinthine studio were a regular occurrence and any longtime Burlington hipster worth his or her black-rimmed glasses likely has a good Box party story or two. But shindigs have become less frequent of late, mostly because the studio is jam-packed with equipment from the roughly 342 bands that practice and record within its hallowed walls. Logistically, throwing a bash just ain't as easy as it used to be. Fortunately, the spirit of the Box lives on, and this weekend will be a great opportunity to get reacquainted.

Noted Burlington actor, poet and playwright Seth Jarvis will handle emcee duties, and he'll likely have his hands full. Slated to perform are Burlington's darlings of drag The House of LeMay, Jason Cooley's karaoke-of-the-bizarre act Koolaoke as well as The Green Candle Theater Company, promoting its upcoming production of The Nose. There have even been whispers that the lovely ladies of The Spielpalast Cabaret will make a cameo, but that's unconfirmed as of press time.

On the musical end of things, Winter Is a Drag Ball favorites Rue Mevlana open the show before giving way to garage-rawkers The Cave Bees. Headlining the evening will be Burlington's reigning princes of pop, The Jazz Guys. The JGs will be joined by Ryan Ober, formerly of legendary B-Town alt-rockers Invisible Jet and, more recently, The Horse - one of the most underappreciated local acts in recent memory.

Additionally, the work of a number of Box artists and photographers will adorn the freshly painted walls of the venerable downtown nightspot, some of which will be available via an art raffle.

A few months ago, I reported that Bradford's Middle Earth Music Hall had decided to close its doors for good. I'm sorry to say, that time has come. This weekend will bring the venue's final chapter to a close.

While the club's six-year run doesn't quite match the epic saga that is its namesake, it's been a good one nonetheless. Owners Chris Jones and Susan Monica have seen more than their share of first-rate national talent occupy the cozy stage of their ornate ode to J.R.R. Tolkien's literary masterpiece, Lord of the Rings, including Richie Havens, Kelly Jo Phelps and Chris Smither. And that's to say nothing of the veritable laundry list of local and regional acts that have passed though over the years.

Ultimately the decision to close boiled down to economics - doesn't it always? Bradford is a small town in a relatively remote corner of the state. For the majority of the club's target demographic, that's a long way to go for a night out. The exponentially rising cost of fuel was perhaps the nail in the coffin.

While it's sad to see a great local venue close, it's doing so in style by hosting a reunion of one of the best Northeast Americana acts in the last decade, The Benders.

Part string band, part booze-fueled Black Sabbath tribute, The Benders were renowned for exciting, off-the-wall live shows as well as a striking canon of original tunes. As a young buck living in Boston, I recall many a night spent reeling to their rowdy strains at The Burren in Davis Square. Ah, memories . . .

The band members have since gone their separate ways - front man Bow Thayer has moved on to a burgeoning career with The Perfect Trainwreck and recently recorded with the legendary Levon Helm. But in their day, The Benders were a force, both live and recorded.

If you've never seen The Benders or been to Middle Earth, you've got exactly two chances left: this Friday and Sunday - and the Saturday show is already sold out. The $35 price tag includes a buffet dinner.

Namaarie - that's Elvish for "goodbye" - Middle Earth Music Hall.

This print appears to refer to the Sedna myth, which was very important to the Inuit people. Honoring Sedna was critical to the success of the hunt. The figure at the bottom of this print with the human face, arms and legs with the bird next to it is likely to be Sedna.

There are many versions of the Sedna myth. In one tale, she married a man who is a bird in disguise and was very unhappy when he revealed himself. Her father came to save her and they tried to escape in a boat. A terrible storm came up and Sedna was cast overboard. From her accident all sea mammals and the polar bear were born. She also partially transformed into a sea mammal herself and lived at the bottom of the ocean. When great storms came up or animals were scarce, the Inuit believed that Sedna was upset. A shaman would go to her through a trance and calm her by brushing her hair.

Feeding Crow.

Things that Crow used to eat. Day old chicks, mice and young rats. Mealworms (only live ones mind you), crickets, fresh offal, the more gory the better.
Things that Crow eats now. Roast chicken, especially the crispy, seasoned skin if he can pinch it. Tuna casserole. Pasta with mince and cheese. Liver and bacon. Cheese and ham sandwiches. He also likes fresh tomato, brambles and elderberries. And dog treats, especially if Dog is watching.
Yesterday I put some raw, chopped, lamb’s liver into his dish. Crow looked at it and ignored it. Three hours later I took it out, cooked it with a little garlic and tomato sauce, with a side portion of baked potato; and he scoffed it down.
If I put dog food into his dish he will turn his beak up at it. If there is dog food in Dog’s dish and Young Dog is eating it, it becomes instantly desirable and Crow will sidle up to Young Dog who eats and growls at the same time in the vain hope of scaring Crow away. After a pretence at begging from Young Dog, Crow will hop onto the dish and grab a morsel before running away and either eating it straight away or caching it for later. Young Dog loves looking for these caching sites and emptying them, so it evens out in the end.
Interestingly Crow wouldn’t dream of trying the same trick with Old Dog who, when he growls, “Bugger off!” at Crow, really means it.
This wild creature, Crow; Master of the Skies, Freedom Personified and all that; could not cope with the weather last night. The wind was battering the house, shrieking and howling and Crow started to call for me in his baby voice until I went downstairs and sat and comforted him.
Today the wind has dropped, but he still wanted to sit with me, or on my knee to be more precise; holding onto my finger with his beak which is his version of cuddling up. My Beloved still hopes that Crow will return to his corvid family, though surely he knows in his heart that we are Crow’s family now.

Byd Bach

I have recently been enjoying the opportunity afforded by modern technology to play board games at a distance, in two ways.

The first, which I might write about sometime soon, is using a gaming website called to play a variety of games mostly against random people I don’t know (although one of the random people I play against is my friend Andy, who introduced me to the site).

The other, which I’m concentrating on in this post, is using a Java-based gaming engine called Vassal, which provides a virtual gameboard for a number of games (loaded as modules)  and supports realtime play via a server or P2P network or play by email.

So far I’ve been using Vassal exclusively to play one game – Small World (I won’t go into the details of the game, as you can read all about it on Wikipedia).  This is a game that my brother, Wulf, recently discovered IRL and thought would work for online play.  While he was investigating how to make that happen, he came across Vassal and so invited me to join him in a game.

After our first 2-player game we recruited our friend Phil to join us for a 3-player game, as it seems to work better with at least 3 players (although the 2-player version is still quite enjoyable).  We have now just completed our second game and are about to start on a third, as well as inviting a couple of other players (including the aforementioned Andy, who is Phil’s brother) to join us for another (as far as I can remember, 5 players is the maximum).

One of the things that makes the game enjoyable, and highly replayable, is the way that the different race/power combinations (which are selected randomly as the game progresses, although you do have the choice to skip over races in the queue (at a cost of some victory points) in order to get preferable combinations) have quite different strengths and weaknesses and invite quite different tactics to make them work at their best.  The fact that the game is time limited (10 turns, at least in the 2 & 3 player versions) is also good, as it prevents individual games from dragging on for too long.

I anticipate many more good games of Small World, both using Vassal and (hopefully, one day) IRL.

PS in case you were wondering, Byd Bach is Welsh for Small World.

Binance launches proof-of-reserves system for BTC holdings

Cryptocurrency exchange company Binance has released a new site that explains its proof-of-reserves system. The company is starting with BTC reserves. Right now, Binance has a reserve ratio of 101%. It means that the company has enough bitcoins to cover all users’ balances.

This move comes a couple of weeks after the collapse of FTX, another popular crypto exchange. In FTX’s case, the company faced a liquidity crisis. It stopped processing withdrawals because it couldn’t meet demand from investors and end users.

Crypto companies — and crypto exchanges in particular — have been trying to be more transparent about user funds since then. It means sharing more information about hot and cold wallets. But there’s still a lot of work ahead before you can completely trust crypto exchanges and how they handle funds.

A few weeks ago, Binance started by sharing wallet addresses with billions of dollars worth of crypto assets. With this move, the company proved that it does indeed hold a lot of assets and it can process a ton of withdrawals. But the company didn’t state clearly whether those are user assets, or Binance’s own balance sheet, or a mix of both.

With today’s new proof-of-reserves site, Binance clarified that point by saying that BTC wallets included in the proof-of-reserves system don’t include Binance’s own funds.

“It is important to note that this does not include Binance’s corporate holdings, which are kept on a completely separate ledger,” the company says. You will have to trust Binance’s word as you can’t verify that with a blockchain explorer.

Binance is starting with BTC holdings. Adding up the amounts in each of Binance’s wallet is easy. When it comes to user assets, the company is using a Merkle tree to include all individual user accounts and generate a cryptographic seal.

As of November 22nd at 23:59 UTC, Binance users collectively held 575742.4228 BTC — that’s around $9.5 billion at today’s exchange rate. And Binance had enough bitcoins in its own wallets to cover 101% of these funds. In other words, if everybody withdraws their BTC at the same time, Binance would have enough BTC to process all withdrawals.

Thanks to the Merkle tree, individual users can use the root hash to check whether their accounts are included in the snapshot of user balances. Binance says it includes user balances across various products — Spot, Funding, Margin, Futures, Earn and Options Wallet. The company also provides a short Python script so that you can check yourself.

“Given recent events, it is understandable that the community will demand more from crypto exchanges, far more than what is currently required of traditional financial institutions. That’s why we’re pleased to provide this latest feature for our users to verify their funds,” Binance founder and CEO Changpeng Zhao ‘CZ’ said in a statement. “As Binance’s user community is exponentially larger than the next largest exchange, this is a massive under-taking and will take a few weeks to develop the data for the majority of our assets in custody. We are working to get the next update out as quickly as possible to meet the community’s expectations.”

The company already plans to release similar proof-of-reserves information for ETH, USDT, USDC, BUSD and BNB in the future. Binance offers hundreds of different crypto assets so let’s hope that they can also cover withdrawals for lesser known cryptocurrencies.

Similarly, the company should work with independent financial and security auditing firms so that you don’t just have to blindly trust the company. There is still a long way to go, but at least today’s new proof-of-reserves system is a step in the right direction.

Stop the 2015 Seal Slaughters in Canada and Namibia
Action Alert from

March 2015

Protests Against Canadian and Namibian Seal Hunts
International Protests Against Namibian Seal Slaughter

Canada's government needs to hear from its constituents, loud and clear, and from people all over the world, that this massacre must end, once and for all.

baby seal mother
Canadian harp seal mother and pup

Seal pups have been born on the ice floes in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Atlantic waters off Newfoundland.

These beautiful, playful animals look at their new world with wonder, through their big, black eyes.

Little do they know that some Canadian fishermen are gearing up to take their boats out to these floes to club and shoot them over the next several weeks.

Toolbox for seal activists:

Please join a demonstration OR organize one in your area

Please join us at the Namibian Mission in NYC and help us let the Namibian gov't know the seals have a voice. Join Friends of Animals United (FAUN) on Friday, March 20, 2015, as we enlighten the public about the seal slaughter in Namibia.

Nursing seal pups are beaten and stabbed in their breeding colonies for over 4 months every year. Adult bulls are shot for their genitalia, which are used as ineffective love potions in parts of Asia.

Dear Brian,

Sorry i am asking a question regarding a little old thread on mailing list. Can u please explain why u r not recomending to use a option of using an alternate directory for lock files, specially in this case.

Brian Poynor wrote:
You can't really do this with the CVSROOT/passwd file. But if you are
primarily concerned about who can commit to Branch A and Branch B (as
opposed to checkout), you can implement that using CVSROOT/commitinfo.

(I answered a similar request earlier, and discounted the option of
using an alternate directory for lock files. This is one of the
primary reasons why. You cannot use unix permissions to govern which
branch a user can work on, which is a fundamental need in my
experience. I believe this is the only mechanism in CVS for this.)

Your commitinfo script can examing the CVS/Tag file. It's the trunk
(mainline) if it doesn't exist, or doesn't have "T" as the first
character in it, otherwise the branch name follows the "T". It is more
work, but also more technically correct to examine the tag value in
the CVS/Entries or CVS/Entries.Log file for each file being committed
instead, since it is possible for a user to u pdate a file from a
different branch into her tree and commit it. The CVS/Tag doesn't
necessarily reflect the branch of every file in the directory.

An additional thing I check that all the files being committed are in
the same branch, since committing to two different branches at once is
almost always a result of user error, and it can be painful to
correct. I figure they can commit twice if that is their intent.

Once you know the branch of the file, you can check that the user is
allowed to commit to that branch using a database of your own design
(could be as simple as a text file with usernames for each branch).

Just make sure that when your commitinfo scripts disallow a commit,
they print a very clear error message to STDOUT. This will save you
and your cvs users a lot of guesswork later.

Another reason why it is important *not* to provide a seeding api for a
crypto rng is that this means you can later swap out the underlying
algorithms easily as the state of the art improves. By contrast, if you
have a deterministic seeded mode, then swapping out the algorithm becomes a
compatibility break.

(You can provide a "mix this extra entropy into the pool" api, which looks
rather similar to seeding, but has fundamentally different semantics.)

The only real problem that I see with switching the random module to use a
crypto rng is exactly this backwards compatibility issue. For scientific
users, reproducibility of output streams is really important.

(Ironically, this is a variety of "important" that crypto people are very
familiar with: universally acknowledged to be the right thing by everyone
who's thought about it, a minority do religiously and rely on, and most
people ignore out of ignorance. Education is ongoing...)

OTOH python has never made strong guarantees of output stream
reproducibility -- 3.2 broke all seeds by default (you have to add
'version=1' to your seed call to get the same results on post-3.2 pythons
-- which of course gives an error on older versions). And 99% of the
methods are documented to be unstable across versions -- the only method
that's guaranteed to produce reproducible results across versions is
random.random(). In practice the other methods usually don't change so
people get away with it, but. See:

So in practice the stdlib random module is not super suitable for
scientific work anyway. Not that this stops anyone from using it for this
purpose... see above. (And to be fair even this limited determinism is
still enough to be somewhat useful -- not all projects require
reproducibility across years of different python versions.) Plus even a lot
of people who know about the importance of seeding don't realize that the
stdlib's support has these gotchas.

(Numpy unsurprisingly puts higher priority on these issues -- our random
module guarantees exact reproducibility of seeded outputs modulo rounding,
across versions and systems, except for bugfixes necessary for correctness.
This means that we carry around a bunch of old inefficient implementations
of the distribution methods, but so be it...)

So, all that considered: I can actually see an argument for removing the
seeding methods from the the stdib entirely, and directing those who need
reproducibility to a third party library like numpy (/ pygsl / ...). This
would be pretty annoying for some cases where someone really does have
simple needs and wants just a little determinism without a binary
extension, but on net it might even be an improvement, given how easy it is
to misread the current api as guaranteeing more than it actually promises.
OTOH this would actually break the current promise, weak as it is.

Keeping that promise in mind, an alternative would be to keep both
generators around, use the cryptographically secure one by default, and
switch to MT when someone calls

  seed(1234, generator="INSECURE LEGACY MT")

But this would justifiably get us crucified by the security community,
because the above call would flip the insecure switch for your entire
program, including possibly other modules that were depending on random to
provide secure bits.

So if we were going to do this then I think it would have to be by
switching the global RNG over unconditionally, and to fulfill the promise,
provide the MT option as a separate class that the user would have to
instantiate explicitly if they wanted it for backcompat. Document that you
should replace

import random
if random.whatever(): ...

from random import MTRandom
random = MTRandom(12345)
if random.whatever(): ...

As part of this transition I would also suggest making the seed method on
non-seedable RNGs raise an error when given an explicit seed, instead of
silently doing nothing like the current SystemRandom.

The sinking of U-404 At 1107hrs the boat was located following radar contact by a US B-24 Liberator (4th A/S Sqn USAAF/Y, pilot Maj Stephen McElroy), but on attacking the depth charges failed to release. The aircraft waited for the boat to resurface and attacked again at 1517hrs. Despite a 20mm shell detonating inside the cockpit (without hurting anyone), the pilot dropped eight depth charges into the boats diving point. Flak damage to the radio and one engine then forced the aircraft to return to base. Another US Liberator (4th A/S Sqn USAAF/N, pilot 1Lt Arthur J. Hammer) then attacked U-404 twice after she surfaced again at 1745hrs. Flak damage also forced this aircraft to return to base, this time to one engine, the tail and the fuselage. The last attack was observed by a third Liberator, British BZ781 (224 Sqn RAF/W, pilot F/O R.V. Sweeny), which this time attacked and sank the boat. Yet again, one engine was hit by flak, and the plane barely made it back to base after jettisoning all guns and loose equipment. (Sources: Franks/Zimmerman)

2 recorded attacks on this boat.

Men lost from the boat

3 Sep 1941
A crew member was washed overboard off Cape Arkona during transfer from Kiel to Danzig and searched in vain by the U-boat for two hours until darkness set in. Matrosengefreiter Walter Skau drowned, his body was later washed ashore and buried at Copenhagen.

There must be another factor than just using Tor. I (as the primary
developer of Orbot), run my Twitter app through Orbot 100% of the time,
and have never had a password change request.

Hopefully, we can get Twitter to weigh in, but it would be good to know
if this is happening due to geographic region or some sort of
false-positive botnet profiling.

In the worst case scenario, maybe their accounts are being accessed to
do Exit Node man-in-the-middle somehow, and Twitter is actually being
helpful. I have seen no evidence of that though.

Main Street Physiotherapy Clinic is proud to be once again sponsoring an Athlete at the 8th Annual VASS Challenge Cup being held at Grouse Mountain! Vancouver Adaptive Snow Sports (VASS) runs programs which teach skiing/snowboarding to people with a disability; including children who have lost limbs due to cancer, spinal cord injury survivors and people born with disabilities such as autism and cerebral palsy.  They Make The Mountain Experience Accessible To All!

We are excited to be supporting VASS and our good friend Patrick Stafford-Smith who will be competing as a Ski Racer. Patrick is the Vice President of VASS and has been an adaptive ski instructor for more than 15 years. His goal this year is to raise $5000 which will help pay for a sitski, fund 10 pairs of outrigers and fund 10 adaptive athletes through a season of training.

The VASS Cup was held on March 13th however it’s not too late to get involved. If you would like to learn more about VASS or sponsor a racer for this year’s VASS Cup, please visit and select ‘Sponsor a Racer’.

In 2011 Aart and his son went to Grouse Mountain to support the athletes and and had the opportunity to try out a sitski. Below are some pictures from that day.

David Weightman is a terrific physiotherapist who has become a crucial part of keeping my body going. As a triathlete and person who is always on the move, Dave’s attention to my needs and his hands on philosophy has provided both recovery from injuries and ongoing maintenance to keep me training. He makes considerable efforts to know about my activities, goals and is eager to see me succeed. His years of experience and comprehensive knowledge of the body is evident as I often present different injuries to him. Whether chronic overuse injuries, or rehab from a major injury, I recommend Dave without hesitation! Tremendous man and a fantastic physio.

Balance Bot Build

Build Groups are a great way to get the community involved in creating something together. Each member of the group has the drive to contribute and be a part of something big, and in a physical setting like the Makers Asylum, helps people get ready access to tools which would not possibly be available at home.

Posts on Facebook for the build group went out, and we met with the participants on a Saturday Afternoon. We went over how the build group is going to progress, what components are going to be used, how the mechanics of balance work, how the human brain acts as a very complex control system, and how a PID helps achieve smooth balance.

Feb 1st-Feb 7th

We worked on creating a laser cut frame for the Balancebot, keeping in mind all the parts that are going to be fit on the bot, holes for routing wires, motor mounts, and pieces that help make levels on the bot become flat and parallel to the ground. This is particularly important, because the bot has an IMU, and it needs to be level. We used inkscape to design it, and the laser cut it on acrylic.

Purchased the motors and all the electronics from the local electronics market, Lamington Road.

February 7th, 2015

Day progressed with the members starting to solder the Mapone. The group did smoke tests of the Blink LED, which confirmed that all is in good shape!

February  14th

We brought all the parts to the group, and explained how the parts will fit together.  These were easy to fit, with all the holes drilled and the joints on acrylic fit really well.

The day started with identification of each component, its role, and testing it out with simple arduino programs. For example, I explained about the motor driver chip, what an H-bridge is, what back EMF is, why we need to have flywheel diodes in the circuit that drives a motor, and the L293d module. We interfaced this module to the arduino, connected the motors, and wrote simple programs to turn the motors clockwise and anticlockwise.

We used a LM2596 buck regulator module, the MPU6050 6 DOF IMU and a L293D motor driver module.

"1546259_1062447147115444_6862714872980704416_n" "10426076_1062447187115440_406048064052972092_n" "10953227_1062447183782107_343978654256532121_n" "10996688_1062447140448778_2952246855129121072_n"

I spent some time over the week building the Maker’s Asylum Balancebot as well. "10959761_1064302350263257_7737300821836095602_n"

February 21st

This was a crucial day, we started early at 11 am. The plan of the day was to get the bot on its feet, er,  wheels.

"1491654_1065886353438190_393909271905211404_n" "1507956_1065886540104838_5151629657841666861_n" "10428620_1065886170104875_7497893481804389180_n" "10959825_1065886200104872_4472625701371248555_n" "11002656_1065886270104865_6456960758097245096_n" "11021259_1065886303438195_6616340513791183653_n"

Everyone started with seeing if the gyro returned data well, and which axis of the gyro needed to be used, once we had the angle of tilt information, we started to do on/off triggering of motors based on angle. It wasn’t a very good control strategy, because the response of the motors was the same irrespective of the magnitude of the angle, leading to wild oscillations. The bot rarely was able to keep up with the change in angle.

One of the groups tried to map ranges of angle to PWM speed of the motors. for example, a smaller angle has slow speed, larger error angle had a larger speed. The response improved, but still wasn’t ideal.

We moved on to using the PID library, which is a great way of encapsulating a complex functionality inside a ready library, with good function interfaces.

The groups then tried to tune the library to get a steady response, but by the end of the day, none of them were successful.

The groups took their bots home, and tried to fix the issues with balancing them.

I started to build the balancebot at the Asylum, and that is still a WIP.

Will post a video once I am done with it. Here is a link the Makers Asylum github library where my code commits are done.

Deming and Performance Appraisal

Guest post by Ron Kingen (originally posted to the Deming Electronic Network)

Several weeks ago someone in the DEN list ask what did Dr. Deming recommend about this issue, well I ask that very question of Dr. Deming back in the 80’s when I had the good fortune to work with him. I had expressed my concern to Dr. Deming about several of his fourteen points that I either didn’t understand completely or did not fit with my experience and/or education. Dr. Deming suggested we talk about it over dinner – during the subsequent dinner discussion Dr. Deming made several points relative to performance improvement (not appraisal):

  1. Hire good people – one of the most critical decisions we all make.
  2. Train and educate them – even if they come from the best universities and are at the top of their class.
  3. Coach them, constantly, don’t wait for an annual appraisal to correct an issue or behavior.
  4. It is the system that must be improved to ensure people work to their potential.
  5. Recognize your top performers, but money isn’t the best method of recognition, in fact, it can be counterproductive.
  6. Work with your low performers to understand their issues and difficulties; give them support and assistance. If they can’t improve and are truly performance outliers , don’t keep them, they will affect the over system.

The advice seemed valid, but I told him my company insisted we do performance appraisals. He laughed, he suggested I change the system; but Dr. Deming knew I worked for General Motors and that wouldn’t be easy. So he recommended I become a rebel and change my part of the system; which I did try. At the time I worked for one of the most progressive divisions within GM and was fortunate to work with many talented GM people and several well know and recognized experts, but I was convinced the best system change option was to leave GM.

Again, fortune smiled and I became part of a privately owned business that had a simple motto, ‘we take care of our employees, so they can take care of our customers’. As the leader of one of their business units I was given the freedom to change the appraisal system; I remembered Dr. Deming’s advice and implemented a very focused
quarterly/annual goal process for every level of the organization, yes, including associates in our plant. People were rewarded with annual pay increases and/or quarterly bonuses based on achievement against the goals (another discussion will surely follow on this point).

Performance appraisals were replaced with ‘development appraisals’ which focused on how they achieved the goals relative to company and team values, etc. Customer satisfaction and Teamwork where key values. Coaching was done throughout the year.. An employee education process and center soon followed to help employees and teams improve their performance; the company supported pursuit of undergraduate and advanced degrees and most important, partnering with nearby universities and professional associations to help every level of the organization improve and share our experiences with others.

Customer and employee satisfaction soared, we received numerous recognitions from our customers with invitations to attend some of their own internal events. In Fortune ‘s 1998 ‘Best Companies to Work For’ issue, the company was ranked number five – the company was Fel-Pro. The owners were great people and many benefits were made
available prior to initiating the above efforts, we started with a very good base. However, until we launched the above efforts many of the employees did not feel truly appreciated, they liked the company benefits but didn’t feel their contributions were valued.

Unfortunately, within months of receiving the Fortune recognition the company was acquired by a very large global company and what we called our industrial Camelot, came to an end.

For many, this still doesn’t answer some of performance appraisal questions, however, it does provide additional evidence that Dr. Deming did have some very good ideas and they could be implemented concerning improving employee performance. At a subsequent meeting, Dr. Deming responded to another person in regards to his comments on performance appraisal and indicated there is no perfect appraisal system and it was up to us to find a better solution, which he doubted would be perfect. His final comment to me – be a leader when it comes to people, not a critic. Of course, those of us who knew him and participated in his events, sometimes wondered if he practiced what he preached on this last point; I believe he just liked to challenge management to get them out of their mindset to pursue new a better ways of leading.

I am sure other people have similar stories to share and I hope this has helped.

One thought on “Deming and Performance Appraisal

  1. Dr. Deming intuitively understood many aspects of improvement and human behavior – I also found it hard to understand why he wouldn’t subject his 14 points to the same sort of hypothesis testing he would do in other domains.

    In the area of performance appraisal, there have been many useful studies on how to make the overall performance management process more effective on an ongoing basis, including the theoretical basis for why “in the moment” feedback is better than once a year. But there are still challenges with the actual measurement of individual performance. I’ve decided that it makes more sense to make sure the team performance goals are necessary and sufficient to realize firm-level goals, and to make sure the process capability of four dimensions – Quality, Cost, Quantity and Cycle time all are consistently performing to delight customers and shareholders.

    Once nice book on the science of performance management is by Jim Smither, Ph.D.

We know that finding the best akku hochdruckreiniger makita is not an easy task. Modern manufacturers offer a truly massive selection from which one can scatter eyes. Check out our guide to make the right choice.

Find the Best akku hochdruckreiniger makita: Quick Buying Guide

The main thing is not to rush and buy the most expensive or, on the contrary, the cheapest, newest, or best-rated akku hochdruckreiniger makita. It's necessary to find out what is right for you. Otherwise, you will simply waste your money and be unhappy with your purchase.

First of all, ask yourself, what should I look for in a akku hochdruckreiniger makita? Indeed, there are such features that you might need, while other buyers might not even pay attention to them.

Which products have certain benefits and drawbacks? Answering these simple questions will help you narrow down your search and discard inappropriate options right away.

You can create a list or even a table to make comparing main factors more comfortable and visual. Typically, within their akku hochdruckreiniger makita comparison, most customers pay attention to:

  • technical details and specifications provided by the manufacturing company;
  • akku hochdruckreiniger makita brands (their reputation, history, and liability);
  • customer reviews and ratings;
  • value for money;
  • warranty and price, etc.

New technologies are opening up all kinds of possibilities for improving our efforts in monitoring development programs and evaluating our short and long-term impact. In fact, the M&E field is undergoing a revolution in data collection and analysis, thanks to technological innovations from sensors to drones to constituent-driven multimedia campaigns that catch us by surprise.

These and other new technologies and engagement opportunities are turning old M&E processes and methodologies on their heads and the demand for quantifiable results is more important than ever. From foundations, to bilaterals, to individual donors, there is an expectation for real-time feedback as it happens. Yet, there is still a gap between donor hopes and implementer realities, and we must ask ourselves:

  • Beyond surveys and dissemination, how can ICT systematically improve M&E?
  • How real is real-time data? And is it really timely? And how timely is really necessary?
  • What ethics should we have with constituent data and privacy? And how can we enforce them?
  • How can we use ICT to close feedback loops and truly involve communities in development decisions?
  • What are the best practices in embedding M&E into an ICT4D program? Who is doing it right?

Overall, new technologies are enabling M&E to be at the heart of data-driven development, where constituents can be powerful co-evaluators of our work. Yet, all these conflicting trends can seem overwhelming when trying to find effective ways to build evidence-based interventions that can scale.

Please RSVP now to join The Rockefeller Foundation, GSMA, and FHI 360 for two events to cut through the hype and find proven solutions for using technology in M&E and evaluating ICT interventions.

When one is celebrating and appreciating they cannot be complaining or looking at lack, it is a totally different vibration and different on the vibrational scale.

If you look at the things you like or love in a person and have your attention on that it is harder to think of the things you don’t, and from that place of love and appreciation it grows, not just for that person but for everything else.  You appreciate another thing, and another, and another, and another, and it grows and grows, you start finding things happening, little coincidences, people calling you up to say hi, or people smiling at you or being friendly, or making new friends, or chance encounters, or little things that tell you that the universe is reciprocating your appreciation and love.

For you cannot have appreciation and love without attracting more of the same.  So at first whilst it started by focusing on appreciating some qualities, it has expanded to so much more, and given you real life physical evidence to appreciate.  It started with you placing thought and feeling first, by having faith and trust, and unconditionally holding that thought, saying that ‘I will hold myself to this not because it has to be in my physical reality but that it feels good and I love being here’ and with no resistance about it having to be in your physical reality, and just feeling good about it, it happens so easily around you.

And through your own connection you inspire others, they love being around you because ‘it just feels nice’, they feel inspired, and they may not be consciously thinking about things but they find themselves appreciating others a bit better, loving a bit more, being a bit more patient, being from a place of gratitude, from love, perhaps even loving themselves more, and they may not even be thinking about it, but they’re just feeling good as a result of the contact with you…all because you started out on focusing on some nice qualities…..

    I liken it to a domino-effect. Once you begin appreciating one thing sincerely the feeling spreads to all things. It is the miracle of gratitude; see the good in everything and the good in everything comes to you.

Toshiba to book nearly 700 billion yen in nuclear business loss

February 11, 2017

Tokyo - Struggling Japanese machinery and electronics giant Toshiba Corp. is considering booking slightly less than 700 billion yen in loss from its nuclear power plant business for April-December 2016, informed sources said Friday.
Toshiba plans to reflect the biggest possible loss it could suffer from the nuclear business, including almost all of some 680 billion yen from its US operations, in its book for the first three quarters of fiscal 2016, the sources said.
With its debts estimated to have exceeded assets as of the end of December, the company aims to replenish its capital by seeking fresh funds from outside its group for its profitable semiconductor operations, the sources said.
Specifically, Toshiba will spin off its flash memory division and seek investment worth 200 billion to 300 billion yen in the new company in order to avoid negative net worth at the March 31 end of fiscal 2016.
Toshiba will announce its April-December earnings and the amount of loss from its US nuclear operations on Tuesday.
Toshiba President Satoshi Tsunakawa is set to hold a press conference the same day to explain the cause of the massive loss and a business reconstruction package, including steps to overhaul its nuclear business and sales of some of its assets, the sources said.
Toshiba announced in December that it could incur several hundreds of billions of yen in loss at US unit Westinghouse Electric Co., a nuclear power plant builder.
As part of measures to reconstruct its domestic nuclear operations, Toshiba plans to concentrate its human resources on maintenance work for and refurbishments of existing nuclear plants and decommissioning work for Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.’s <9501> Fukushima No. 1 plant, where an unprecedented triple reactor meltdown occurred due to heavy damage from the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, according to the sources.
In overseas markets, the company will withdraw from the construction of new nuclear power plants and instead will focus on nuclear plant designing and the production and delivery of reactors, the sources said. (Jiji Press)
