Walking around Lacock village

A couple of months ago, I visited Wiltshire on holiday and decided to stay at the lovely village of Lacock for a couple of days. The key museum highlight of the village is of course Lacock Abbey and the Fox and Talbot museum, which I have shared in a separate post. In this post, I am focusing on the special highlights of my stay in the village and my morning walks around the village.

Each morning, I woke up to a view of a private garden that I had labelled the secret garden. I would have loved to explore that garden, if I had had the permission of its owner.

After making myself a hot cup of tea, I would go out for my much treasured morning walks, exploring the village without a soul in sight. The village is tiny with just four main streets in a grid like pattern, so I invariably ended up walking around several times during my stay.

The medieval village of Lacock was built around St. Cyriac’s chuch. The base of the current church was built in the 11th century, though there has been renovations made across the centuries.

Close to the church is King John’s hunting lodge, said to have been used by the King when hunting in the Melksham forest that surrounded the village then. The 13th century hunting lodge, which still has some of its original beam structure, is now a tea room. It was closed for renovations during my visit.

I took the tiny street near the church, leading towards Nethercote hill, and came upon the packhorse bridge over Bide brook. The packhorse bridge was the first bridge of its kind that I had seen. So, while I guessed that the path leading into and out of the brook was for carts carrying market goods, I had to read about it to learn that it had been used for packhorses during the wool trade heydays of the village.

Instead of continuing down Nethercote hill or taking the Lover’s walk footpath trail, I turned back and walked back along Church street. I passed Lacock bakery, which I had visited during the afternoon of the previous day to indulge in a sweet pastry.

Near the end of Church street, close to the main road, I came upon the Sign of the Angel, which had been a 15th century inn and was now a restaurant with rooms to board. Later in the day, when I was walking along the street, I saw tour groups gathering outside the inn and the tour leader was referencing Harry Potter so I guess this place must have been one of the many places in Lacock that was used in the movie. I was more interested in the fact that the village was used to depict Meryton village in Pride and Prejudice (the 1995 BBC miniseries).

From the corner of Church street and West Street, it was lovely to see my rooms above Quintessentially English and I wished that the cars had not been parked on the road, so I could imagine that I had traveled back in time.

Walking along West Street, I passed George Inn, which had been highly recommended for their food by Ollie and where I had planned to have one of my dinners but never did get around to it. George Inn has continued to be a bustling inn since it obtained its license in 1361.

Turning on to High Street, I passed the National Trust shop and Red Lion inn.

While I did not try out all three main inns in Lacock as I had originally planned to, I did have a lovely meal at the Red Lion. I am a fan of the chunky chips that is served in England.

Opposite Red Lion, at the start of East Street was the medieval tithe barn. This was the place where taxes was collected in the form of 10% of farm produce.

At one end of the barn was a small holding cell, which had been used to hold people overnight, who had too much to drink.

The next door village hall is used for community events.

Returning to High Street and walking further in the direction of the abbey, one passes the playing field managed by the Lacock Parish council.

The High Street curves around the low walls and perimeter fence of the abbey grounds and onto Hither Way. I enjoyed my views of Lacock Abbey and its grounds, from the road.

I walked up to the Wharf and Lacock bridge. This bridge has been in use since the 14th century and I read that it is sometimes inaccessible due to floods.

I became fond of the little village from my morning walk explorations during the two days that I stayed there and would highly recommend an overnight stay or more, rather than a day trip to the village. It adds to the experience of exploring Lacock Abbey.

A special highlight of my stay in the village was my accommodation. From the moment I saw Snoozums on AirBnB, I knew I had to stay there when I visited Lacock. Fortunately, the place was available on the days I planned to visit and it was right in the heart of the village,  above a shop opposite the bus stop.

Quintessentially English is a delightful shop that Jacqui Sheard founded, so that she could make her passion for crafting handmade organic soaps her profession. The lovely scents of different bath products greeted me as I entered the shop upon arrival. I was soon ushered next door and up the stairs, to Snoozums, the apartment I would be staying at.

It was a lovely space with a living area, cosy bedroom and a private bathroom. Jacqui left a huge breakfast basket for me as well as some of the bath product goodies in the welcome tray.

In addition to my delight at staying at the cosy and comfortable apartment in a historic building, I enjoyed interacting with Jacqui and her husband, David. I also enjoyed helping Ollie with packing some of their Christmas orders and learnt about different bath products, in the process. Jacqui was very generous that she gave me an extra night’s stay free of cost, for helping them out with the Christmas orders, and dropped me at Chippenham for my onward journey at the end of my stay.

2007 December: Lake Liddell (NSW) Crop Dusting Accident

Crop-duster, 75, Dies In Lake Crash

Sydney Morning Herald

Saturday December 8, 2007

Arjun Ramachandran and Dylan Welch

A PILOT whose age – 75 – and “squillion years” in the sky made him a crop-dusting legend died when his plane crashed into a lake near Muswellbrook yesterday morning.

Yesterday police divers were searching the lake for the body of Col Pay, of Scone.

The Scone Aero Club president, Neville Partridge, said Mr Pay – whose company operates a fire-bombing service – was “an absolute icon in the crop-dusting industry”.

“He’s got a squillion hours up – he’s been doing it for so long,” Mr Partridge said.

“We’re all pretty shattered.”

The yellow plane was scooping water from Lake Liddell near the New England Highway about 9.30am when it crashed into the lake, according to Harley McKillop, of Pay’s Air Service.

“What can I tell you? We’ve crashed into Lake Liddell … the pilot’s in the wreckage and they haven’t retrieved the pilot or the wreckage,” he said.

“This is a huge loss for us – it’s our livelihood.” Mr McKillop is also a pilot.

Despite early reports that there had been up to three people in the plane, Mr McKillop said only the pilot had been on board.

The plane, an Airtractor AT-802, could fit only one person, he said.

Mr Pay had been testing new equipment when he crashed, Mr McKillop said. It was not yet clear whether the equipment being tested had contributed to the crash.

He said staff from the company had been at the lake when the plane crashed, and had called emergency services.

Mr McKillop said Mr Pay was one of the country’s best-known collectors of warbirds, or vintage military aircraft. He had once owned the only flying Spitfire in Australia, as well as a Mustang, Tiger Moth and a Kittyhawk.

Mr Pay was well known for flying the warbirds at air shows, including the Scone air show.

A Westpac rescue helicopter flew to the lake from Newcastle, joining police and ambulance crews.

George Steinmetz on Photographing the World from a Motorized Paraglider

From hitchhiking across Africa with a borrowed camera, to photographing some of the world’s hardest to reach places from the air for National Geographic, expedition photographer George Steinmetz has quite a story to tell. And in this video, he’s kind enough to share the details.

The most interesting thing about Steinmetz’s particular brand of aerial photography is that it’s not taken from a plane, but rather a motorized paraglider. A “terrific tool for exploring” that he happen to “hit upon” during his travels, motorized paragliding has allowed Steinmetz to photograph places that are sometimes impossible to reach, from a much closer vantage point than an airplane would allow.

Initially, this allowed Steinmetz to photograph the Sahara, but what began with one desert has turned into many more as part of his “grand tour” and a dream assignment from his editor to “photograph all of Africa from the air.” In addition to the Sahara, he’s taken pictures in the Gobi, the Taklamakan, and even the Empty Quarter of Saudi Arabia — the largest sand sea in the world and one of the harshest places on Earth.

Those names only scratch the surface of what Steinmetz has seen, and we won’t give away anything else. But if you have some time this Saturday morning, it’ll be well worth spending it listening to George Steinmetz’s stories and marveling at his photography.

How I Shot a Photo Series Based on The Twilight Zone

I had been itching to do a composite photo series for quite some time. It’s something I had never actually done up to this point, but I was and currently am a huge admirer of the art form. I’ve been following the great composite photographers like Dave Hill and Drew Lundquist for the past several years.

I’m a hobbyist, you could say — I work at a company called mOcean directing commercials, but I’m fortunate to be able to shoot photography for some of the movie and television posters that come through as well. I learned most everything I know about Photoshop from my friends in that key-art industry.

One night, I happened to be watching the “Eye of the Beholder” episode of The Twilight Zone and it hit me: I should craft a passion project around this beloved series. I could bring these iconic characters back to life in full color. The first thing I did was call my producing partner, Austin Sepulveda, and go-to make-up artist, Courtney Christina.

It may sound backwards, but the budget and schedule wasn’t the first step of our preparation. After all, I had to know what I was going to shoot. The idea was to concept three thumbnails of my favorite episodes, but that soon inflated to twelve. What can I say?

Each of the thumbnails was a rough sketch done in Photoshop with stock photography and illustration. Anything to get the point across. You’ll see there was no plan to shoot “The Odyssey of Flight 33”. That happened after the fact with some extra photography.

From there, we decided that a manageable budget would be $275. The models would need to bring their own wardrobe, but a few would need specialty costumes. We also needed to buy or rent a few key props: the broken eyeglasses, the make-up mirror, etc. For the speciality props, we reached out to everyone that might give us a lead, hoping that their passion for Twilight Zone and sympathy for our low-budget would yield results. The talented prop fabricator Ryan Nagata lent us his Invaders Spaceman sculpture to use, and Bad Robot Productions allowed us to shoot their replica prop of the Mystic Seer.

We tried to collaborate with several SFX make-up artist for “Eye of the Beholder”, but nothing panned out. Instead, we resorted to gathering as many reference photos of pig masks as we could, then grafting them onto the face in Photoshop.

It was a huge benefit to have a producer on this project helping source items while I shot background plates. We were planning the entire project in our free time – the evening hours of the week. The great thing about photo shoots versus short films is that you can grab a background plate almost anywhere with relative ease. I shot at diners, airplane hangers, motels…

Most store owners were generous in allowing me to snap a quick plate. I asked friends for favors in getting me access to other locations, like the log cabin. The street plate in “Where Is Everybody?” is a shot from Universal Studios backlot metro set. I snapped it off the back of the tour tram.

Some backgrounds were impossible for me to shoot at the time, so I resorted to stock images. Because this is a passion project, I was able to purchase everything with personal-use licensing. I recommend sites like Unsplash and Photobash for high quality compositing assets like skies or atmosphere. I also used several other image packs from Photobash to build backgrounds, like their Eilat Desert and Abandoned Interior collections.

The next step was casting. Again, this was a shoe-string budget so I tried to cast as many friends and prior collaborators as possible. But everyone had to be right for the role. So for the few characters I couldn’t cast with people I knew, I turned to LACasting, where I found models who were willing to work for free since they were fans of the show.

We cleared my entire apartment living room and set up a 9’ grey seamless for the shoot. Space was definitely limited, but we made it work. I shot with the following equipment.

  • 2x Einstein E640
  • D800
  • PLM Umbrella
  • PCB Large Octabox
  • Elinchrom 39” Deep Octa
  • Photek Softlighter
  • PCB Beauty Dish

I used a Canon 5D Mark III and a 24-105mm L as my primary lens. I shot tethered into Capture One via my iMac 5K, which was a great to be able to check out lighting and composition before we moved on from each setup.

We had to move fast, with 40 unique lighting setups over the 2 days of shooting. When each model arrived, I’d pull up the thumbnail PSD and reference the scene’s light and color, adjusting my setup and camera position accordingly. I’d like to say I had all the setups and modifier choices planned ahead of time, but to be honest, any kind of forethought gave way to impulse on the day. You find a rhythm when you’re moving that fast, and certain techniques start to work well, so you repeat them. Here are the all the RAW shots. You can tell, I quickly found that the PLM Umbrella was a favorite for backlight.

Post Production

The first step of post production was wondering what the hell I got myself into. I couldn’t back out now, there were over 20 people who gave me their time for me and had high expectations of the final product. I started by throwing in my favorite shots to all the comp, forming rough blockings. All I could think of was how badly I had screwed this up. How I should have lit this person more like that. How I should have been slightly lower angle on this. How I should have only shot for one image and not twelve…

But all this is normal.

I don’t think I have ever done a composite where I thought it was pure gold from the very beginning to the very end. Most of the time, 99% of my energy is spent trying to “salvage” the piece. I find it easiest to separate the photographer from the compositor. I can’t shame myself for not getting everything right during the shoot. That’s what learning is for. I need to be proactive and find creative solutions. You’ll see some of my early WIP (work in progress) thumbs are very different from the final image.

But after a few rounds of moving people around, swapping out backgrounds, re-scaling, I finally found most of the composites in a good place. Now it was time to actually build these things…

I always shoot RAW. I try to be as non-destructive as possible. So I bring in my photography as smart objects layers from camera RAW. You can do this by holding SHIFT when in camera RAW. That will turn “open image” into “open object”, which gives you the ability to go back into camera RAW and re-adjust the original photo as you develop the composite.

I usually paint highlights and shadows with curves, but if they need to be somewhat extreme in value range, I can easily kick out another exposure of the model in camera RAW to paint in. I did this on “The Invaders” composite of the woman. She is a painted blend of about three exposures, since I made her rim-lights a bit too hot during the shoot.

You generally won’t want to refine a mask until the composite is locked in. I’ve been burned before, wasting too much time hand-masking a model then realizing down the line I wanted to use another shot. But once you are ready, once you have settled on a composition and selected shots, go for it. I prefer to hand mask with a Wacom tablet, usually a smaller, softer brush that I paint around the perimeter of the subject. I find this gives the most control – I can feather more for out-of-focus areas, for instance. For most hair, I’ll mask with a very soft brush and then paint back in a realistic hair pattern.

Now comes the actual compositing. Grading, blending, more grading, more blending… I use smoke and atmosphere A LOT to help shape the scene. It’s a personal preference, I really enjoy a smokey, moody piece.

I’m constantly re-coloring and matching all my assets to bring the scene closer together and become more of a realistic image. I frequently toggle a black and white adjustment layer over top the entire composite to check value levels. It’s also a good way to keep your eyes fresh.

After letting the project sit for a few weeks, I came back for the final touches. This is where I added some last-minute glows that help unite the foreground and background elements. I also happened to redo an entire composite at this stage, “The Odyssey of Flight 33”. The original composite was never working for me, and this new version was crafted around another shot of the model. I also realized the hair for Rod Serling wasn’t working at all. I failed to position that model correctly, and the top of his head was completely milked by the back light. So I shot my own hair as a replacement the morning before I published the series.

The Finished Photo Series

Here are the finished images along with some behind-the-scenes animated GIFs showing how they were constructed:

Odyssey of Flight 33

The Invaders

Nick of Time

The Lonely

Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up

The Trade Ins

A World of His Own

Eye of the Beholder

Nightmare at 20000 Feet

The Dummy

Time Enough at Last

Where is Everybody

Every project could theoretically go on forever. There are always more tweaks to be made, more details to address, more feedback to consider, etcetera, etcetera… But at some point, you just have to let go. I decided that after six months, I had invested enough time into this project and was satisfied with the results – they were ready to be shared with the outside world. Of course, even after a few days, I’m already seeing small things that I would change or fix. But it’s counterproductive to dwell on it. Instead, I’m considering everything I learned on this project and thinking about the next one.

What would I do different? A few things come to mind. First, I would avoid the dreaded phrase: “I’ll fix that in Photoshop.” Never have I been so frustrated with the naïveté of my past self. There were many occurrences of this – we couldn’t get the hair just right, someone didn’t shave, I didn’t have a microphone to the dictaphone, so on and so forth. But of these necessary fixes added hours to my post production time and, I would argue, never came close to the quality I would have achieved if I had just taken a little extra time to make the fix practically on set.

I would also focus on fewer composites. I may have spread myself too thin on this series, only because of my passion for the source material. But I can’t help but think – if there were only three composites to focus on, maybe I would have been able to dive deeper on each image.

I must admit, finally, that I was not sure I could pull this off. Like I said, to do a series like this was an abstracted idea in my head for so long, I was scared of what it would mean to actually execute it. What if I failed? What if it was more detrimental to my creative endeavors than helpful? What if it’s a waste of time… what if I prove to myself that I’m not capable of this thing I’m dreaming to do… But I did it anyways. I would encourage anyone with a passion project in mind to do the same. Yes, my confidence sometimes wavered to the lowest of lows, but in the end, it gave me the highest of highs.

Dear Reader,

Thank you for getting in touch. (If you have done so recently then you are doing your best to lead a normal life at an abnormal time – good for you.) I am currently working on a cultural history of modern France (a sort of companion to my book, The German Genius), which will be delivered to the publisher at the end of September 2020, and published – all being well – about a year after that. Meanwhile, here is a new feature for my website. If you have got in touch with me because you have read one or another of my books, the chances are that our interests overlap or coincide, in particular in regard to the history of ideas.

Special feature

In my history books – some of them anyway – I have tried to draw attention to most of the important intellectual developments in the past, even the distant past.

One breakthrough, which I regard as arguably the most important breakthrough of all (for its effects on the way we think about ourselves and our social organisation), has received almost no reporting, and so I have created a special space for it here. It is just a few pages long, but if the argument is correct, the consequences are momentous. Read on …

How to Access Planner and To Do Content in Teams

Microsoft launched its latest powerhouse application, Teams, on March 14, 2017, a somewhat surprising 4 years ago. In my most humble ‘marketing’ perspective, Microsoft has been designing and developing Teams to be the end-all, be-all of productivity applications, smack dab in the center of the Microsoft 365 solution stack.

One of the latest steps in bringing workflows from other Microsoft 365 applications into the native Teams interface is creating an App called ‘Tasks by Planner and To Do’. I’ll explain how to add this App to your Teams application and go through the basics of its purpose and explain how it can boost your productivity.

Note – Microsoft plans to rename the app to its final name, ‘Tasks’, sometime in the first half of calendar year 2021. This timeline is subject to change.

First, let me show you how to add the App to Teams. Along the left side of the Teams application is the ‘App Navigation Bar’ where you see Activity, Chat, Teams, etc. Go ahead and click the ‘…’ at the bottom and you’ll see the ‘Find an app’ popup.

In the top search field, type ‘Tasks’ and click on ‘Tasks by Planner and To Do’.

Click ‘Add’ and you’ll see the new interface.

Tip – Be sure to right-click the new App and click ‘Pin’ to keep it in your Teams Navigation Bar permanently. You can also click and drag its icon up in the stack to another position if that suits you.

The first section, ‘My tasks To Do’, shows your Tasks in their respective lists/views from your Microsoft To Do content. You can create new Tasks, edit existing Tasks, assign Due Dates, and even mark them Complete. If you want to create a new List of related Tasks, click the ‘New list or plan’ link at the bottom of the window under your Planner content.

There are some productivity shortcuts you can utilize to make the management of your Tasks more efficient. Click the ‘…’ at the right of a Task to quickly change its Progress, its Priority, its Due Date or to move it to another List in your arsenal. You can also Delete the Task if you wish.

Next, let’s find out what Shared plans are all about. If you’ve ever used Microsoft Planner, the interface will look fundamentally familiar.

In the ‘Shared plans Planner’ section of this App, you’ll see the various ‘Plans’ that you have access to and that have been added as ‘Tabs’ in Teams, grouped by the corresponding Microsoft 365 Group the Plans are connected to (‘Reinders – Test – 01’ and ‘Office 365 Migration’ as examples). This Teams App provides decent integration with the underlying Planner content in Microsoft 365. The changes you make here will automatically reflect on the Planner website, your Planner mobile app, etc. If you’re familiar with the various Views available in Planner (List, Board, Charts, Schedule), you’ll be right at home in Teams.

I have the ‘Test-List-Plan #1’ plan currently selected above. In ‘Board’ view, it shows the various related Tasks grouped under what Microsoft calls Buckets. Click ‘Add new bucket’ on the right to create a new Bucket; you can now add similarly grouped Tasks. This makes it easier to manage your potentially large number of Tasks required in your various Plans. When you click Add task, you’ll see the ‘Add task’ popup screen.

Go ahead and enter the task name, set a due date, and Assign the task to a member of your Plan. When you do, the various views will reflect this change. The recipient of the assigned task will also receive an email notification from Microsoft 365 with a link to the Task.

Click the ‘Charts’ link in the upper right to see a dashboard-like view of your Tasks.

Earlier I said you had most of the functionality here in Teams. There are processes and workflows inaccessible to you in the Teams App. These include admin tasks like adding/removing Members, Copying Plans, and having direct access to other Microsoft 365 Group shortcuts (Email, Calendar, OneNote, etc). It’s safe to say Microsoft is working on bringing over more features all the time. You can search on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap website for details – Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365.

Also Note – Only Plans that you’ve added as Tabs in a Teams Channel will be displayed here.

There are a growing number of ways to access your content in ‘Planner’ and ‘To Do’. I plan to go over these various methods in future articles. If you’re interested in learning more about one, feel free to leave a comment!

    Planner is a bit of a non-starter until there is some kind of recycle bin--or better yet, versioning--functionality. Anyone in the plan can delete a whole bucket inadvertently (or intentionally) and it's just gone. No recovery options.

Are Rice Cakes Good for Dogs and Their Digestion?

Are rice cakes good for dogs? A healthy diet is essential not only for us humans but also for our four-legged friends. A sufficient supply of all vital vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and other nutrients is also mandatory for dogs. The age of the dog must also be taken into account when selecting the proper diet plan.

For example, a puppy needs a different composition of its diet plan than an older dog. In general, meat is on the menu for most dogs. But what about carbohydrates?

Are cereal flakes, barley or rye scrap, cooked pasta, potatoes, or even cooked rice good for our four-legged friend? This question causes uncertainty among many dog owners. Can a dog even digest the carbohydrates of boiled rice? What needs to be considered during preparation?

Are Dogs Allowed to Eat Rice Cakes? Yes!

Dogs may eat rice as a popular staple food. In theory, a dog could even eat it every day. If a dog has been prescribed gentle food, rice is even optimal. They should not be consumed in large quantities by dogs only in extreme cases like diarrhea.

are rice cakes good for dogs

Which Type of Rice is Suitable?

In general, all types are suitable. Wholegrain is exceptionally high in fiber. Rice also contains valuable vitamins, nutrients, and trace elements. Of course, the quality of the feed is also paramount. It should be free of pesticides, other contaminants, and pollutants.

How is Rice Prepared for Dogs Properly?

It should be boiled as fresh as possible in only slightly salted water, and should not necessarily be pre-cooked for the next day.

Rice must reach at least a core temperature of 65 degrees Celsius during warm-up.

Our Recommendation: Cooked Rice With Delicious Vegetables For Your Four-legged Friend

Supposed the dog is also served delicious freshly cooked vegetables with the cooked rice. In this case, the meal is additionally enriched with valuable vitamins and fiber.

Special recommendations are carrots, peppers, zucchini, and kohlrabi. A bowl of milk rice for the dog is also welcome. However, this should be boiled with water and without sugar.

Can I Feed My Dog With Rice Cakes Without Hesitation?

Cooked rice cake is often used as a gentle food in dog nutrition, as it is very easy to digest. Also, it is a good supplier of high-quality energy.

If your dog is put on a gentle diet due to illness or other problems, rice with boiled chicken and carrots is a good option. Of course, spices and salts should be avoided.

Each dog is different, so you should test whether your dog tolerates it well. You can start with a small amount.

Mix the rice with some meat – this is where minced meat is used – or with the dried food you are currently feeding.
You can then find out if it is a compatible food for your dog.

Important: if the dog food you use already has high rice content, you should not add more to it. Your dog can not expand that much carbohydrates all at once, resulting in digestive problems.

Dogs need a balanced and healthy diet. This means that they need a balanced ratio of all essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements.
This is where the age of the dog and the physical condition come into play. An older dog no longer as active needs fewer proteins and carbohydrates than a young, energetic dog. However, meat should be the central part (approx. 50-70%) in older dogs.

How Much Rice Cakes Can I Give My Dog?

This is a popular staple food that dogs are also allowed to consume. Since dogs are now almost considered Omnivores (all-eaters), the food's central part should remain meat.

However, if the feed has a rice content of 15-20%, this is still in the acceptable area. Carbohydrates, however, should by no means constitute the central part of the diet.

This leads to digestive problems such as diarrhea, gastrointestinal cramps, and sometimes excessive weight gain in your dog, which also harms your dog's health.

Is white rice the same as wholegrain? Can't my dog eat certain types of rice? There is no cause for concern here. All types are suitable for dogs, but wholegrain has more fiber than white rice. Whole grain rice should, therefore, be digested a little more easily. As with all foods, the origin and quality play an essential role.

Under no circumstances should rice heavily sprayed with pesticides or contaminated be used in a dog's meal. Would you, as a human being, eat this type of food? If your answer is yes, then feel free to add it to your dog's meal bowl. Otherwise, discard it at all costs.

PhidgetRFID Error

Postby wolcy97 » Wed Apr 29, 2020 6:26 pm

Hello there,

We want to use Phidget RFID (1024_0) device by connecting it to an android device via usb.

For this reason, we called api methods as in the examples at

Before doing this process, we added "Phidget22usb.jar" references to our project as at ... orkarounds

We are developing in the flutter environment.
However, adjustments have been made on the android studio side for the operations that need to be done on the android.

When we connect to android device in debug mode, usb accesses and all required parameters can be read from the api. However, when we create the apk as a release and install it on the android device, we get an error as follows.

When opening the application (access to "PhidgetApi" is required at application launch), we get the error "unfortunately has stopped app".

when we investigated where the error originated, we found that it was caused by the "rfid = RFID ()" line you will see in the code line below.

I share the sample project code in the appendix.
You can also find the Manifest.xml file.

Due to this error, we were unable to make the devices available.

I would like your support.

The choice of Barclays’ new broom

It took an American, Bob Diamond, to make a viable business out of Barclays’ investment bank, and it is a telling comment on the shallow pool of British banking management that Barclays has now turned to another American, Jes Staley, to lead it in the post-crisis era.

But whereas Mr Diamond’s job when he joined Barclays nearly 20 years ago was to build an investment bank from the rubble of a failed strategy after the Big Bang, Mr Staley’s task — assuming Barclays’ secures regulatory approval for his appointment — is to re-engineer the investment bank and simultaneously prepare the retail bank for a crucible year in which profound regulatory and technological change are coinciding. The task is difficult but Barclays starts from a position of strength.

On the investment banking side, soon to be separated from the retail bank by regulation, Barclays has a choice to make. Does it wish to expand it to compete with the handful of US rivals still offering a full-scale service of the kind that was the rage before the banking crisis? Or does it shrink to the asset-light model now pursued by most others?

Led by Antony Jenkins, the recently ousted chief executive, Barclays went some way down the latter route, tidying up the investment bank and shrinking the balance sheet. European banks — notably UBS, where Mr Staley is a board member — have taken this strategy further and shown it can work. And, as a result of the opportunistic acquisition of Lehman Brothers’ US business during the financial crisis, Barclays has a platform from which to rebuild an investment bank capable of challenging the top three.

The attitude of John McFarlane, Barclays’ chairman, will be important in shaping this decision. He has given mixed messages so far, forcing out Mr Jenkins, who was less than enthusiastic about the investment banking business; hiring a career investment banker in the form of Mr Staley; and then this week appearing interested in the idea of a pan-European union of investment banks to tackle the Americans. No doubt he and Mr Staley have already enjoyed some rich conversations.

On the retail side of the business, Mr Staley has little hands-on experience — though Mr McFarlane has plenty. Here again, Barclays starts from a position of apparent strength in the form of its high street branch network. But, in the fast-changing world of retail banking, this could yet prove a handicap. The swing to mobile banking is gathering pace, redefining the role of the branch — a trend that could leave Barclays with too many expensive branches and too many staff.

In addition, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority will shortly release its preliminary findings on the state of the personal current account and the banking market for small and medium-sized enterprises. The CMA has the potential to change the free-if-in-credit model on which the big four established lenders thrive. Barclays’ apparent strength as a dominant high street bank could therefore leave it with the need to re-engineer an outdated business model, while simultaneously protecting shareholder returns and maintaining customer service levels.

The challenges Barclays faces on the two sides of the business come together in the UK government’s requirement to ring fence the former with effect from 2019. This raises important governance and funding issues. How can the board of a universal bank exercise the required level of fiduciary control over its retail subsidiary while observing the requirement to ringfence one part of the business? How can the board show that the two parts are funded separately? What implications does this have for the operations of the investment bank?

These are difficult questions, which Barclays’ new senior management will be discussing with each other, regulators and shareholders. They will be doing so in an environment complicated by low interest rates, and poisoned by the cost and distraction of resolving long-running regulatory and legal problems, all at a time of exceptional technological change.

Yet in many ways it is not a bad position in which to be. Both sides of the Barclays business have credible market positions; the bank’s balance sheet is sound; and reshaping a strong business is a quicker fix than rebuilding a weak one. It is easy to see why Mr Staley was attracted to the job.

Capital One Announces Data Breach

Capital One Logo

Over the past few years, we have seen some of the biggest companies experience data breaches.  The companies cover the a majority of the service sector and range from credit monitoring bureaus (Equifax), hotel brands (Marriott), fast food restaurants (Sonic Drive In), and even an airline (Cathay Pacific).  On yesterday, Capital One announced it discovered an unauthorized person had gained access to customers’ personal information.

Here is an excerpt from the press release:

Capital One immediately fixed the configuration vulnerability that this individual exploited and promptly began working with federal law enforcement. The FBI has arrested the person responsible and that person is in custody. Based on our analysis to date, we believe it is unlikely that the information was used for fraud or disseminated by this individual. However, we will continue to investigate.

Based on our analysis to date, this event affected approximately 100 million individuals in the United States and approximately 6 million in Canada.

The largest category of information accessed was information on consumers and small businesses as of the time they applied for one of our credit card products from 2005 through early 2019. This information included personal information Capital Oneroutinely collects at the time it receives credit card applications, including names, addresses, zip codes/postal codes, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, and self-reported income. Beyond the credit card application data, the individual also obtained portions of credit card customer data, including:

  • Customer status data, e.g., credit scores, credit limits, balances, payment history, contact information
  • Fragments of transaction data from a total of 23 days during 2016, 2017 and 2018

No bank account numbers or Social Security numbers were compromised, other than:

  • About 140,000 Social Security numbers of our credit card customers
  • About 80,000 linked bank account numbers of our secured credit card customers

For our Canadian credit card customers, approximately 1 million Social Insurance Numbers were compromised in this incident.

The company also stated that no credit card numbers or log-in credentials were compromised, while only one percent of social security numbers were.  Capital One will follow the lead of Equifax and provide free credit monitoring and identity protection to those affected.

While security breaches are a very big deal, I find it fascinating that one person was able to gain access to all of this personal information.  Companies need to invest more in security so customers’ information is safeguarded.  I fear, at this point, it may be too late.

Customer Record for Today

Reader Steve Morton has come through again. After I posted the scanned Customer Record page, he has given us the gift of Word and PDF versions of this useful page in A4 and A5 that all of us can download and print.

The Word and PDF documents are available for free at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/filofax/files/. (You will have to create a Yahoo account if you don't already have one, and join the Yahoo Filofax group, which is, in my experience, a well-managed and spam-free group.)

You can also find them on D*I*Y Planner at: http://diyplanner.com/node/6518.

Customer Record

Here's a Personal-size leaf from 1996 that showed up on The Daily Planner, so of course I snapped it up. I don't know how long these legacy leaves will be available. All I can recommend is checking back to the site fairly frequently as I do.

I'm fascinated by this form because it can hold so much information. Basically, there's a space for everything you need to know about one of your customer's accounts. I'm especially fascinated by the back side (click the image to get access to it). There's a table for tracking several years' worth of monthly purchase amounts, like a miniature Excel spreadsheet.

I've learned two things from this form:
1) At one time, it was truly possible to conduct all of your business with a Personal Filofax (this form is copyright 1996).
2) To be useful to me, I'd need this form on a larger sheet of paper. I know many Filofax purists decry the additional sizes like A4, A5, and the defunct Deskfax, but for me, I'd need this in at least an A5 to find it usable.

In other news, I calmed down on my format crisis when I realized that I don't have to do everything all at once. I've decided to stick with the A5 format "for now." I've ordered the pieces I need to implement the DayRunner forms that worked for me—a month-on-two-pages and a day-per-page calendar.

Free for All Friday No. 31

Talk about your Filofax...or talk about the weather! Whatever you like.

A commenter asked recently whether we can open up the discussion to other kinds of organizers, or planning in general. As far as I'm concerned, we've always been open to these topics!

Most of the time, I'd like to keep our focus on loose-leaf systems like Filofax as opposed to, say, M***skines, but that seems to be happening naturally. I've never had to ask anyone to change the subject.

So chatter away!

Format Crisis

I guess it's no secret to anyone who's been reading between the lines in this blog or clicked through to Flickr that I'm having a format crisis. Me, Ms. Filofax A5 USA has taken an 8.5" x 11" DayRunner into her home.

My current system isn't working as well as it could. Which wouldn't be a problem but for the fact that I'm not working as well as I could. Just today a wise person said to me, "don't let the calendar overtake you," and I realize that's what's been happening. I haven't written down a new idea in weeks, and I'm starting to wonder whether it would help to have a Memo-ry page to write them down on. Would I be able to have better information at my fingertips if I were able to print and carry documents in the standard American 8.5" x 11" size? Would I take better notes if I had a full-size page to do it on? Why am I using a blank sheet of paper folded into my week-on-2-pages Filofax for a daily to-do list when I could be using a page-per-day? And if I had a big, month-in-view calendar to look at every day, would it be less likely to overtake me?

I'm thinking, yes.

When I joined this blog in 2006, I had been spending at least a year changing systems as often as every 3 months...Palm Pilot to Circa to Moleskine. Then I laid down some ground rules when it comes to switching formats:

1) I can only switch twice a year—in January, or, as a last resort, the beginning of academic year calendars in July or September.

2) I must commit to using any one system exclusively for at least 6 full months before switching at all.

Since I've been using an A5 Filofax for work consistently for 3—that's right, 3—years straight now, maybe I can change the rules and start the new format now.

Or, can I take what I need from the DayRunner system and do it with my existing A5? Most of the forms I need are in the DIY Planner's basic A5 kit. And NOT, I might add, in the 8.5" x 11" letter size. I could create the templates myself, but wouldn't sticking with my existing A5 format be the more elegant solution?

And yet part of me thinks that making the letter-size switch will make me feel free! Powerful! Creative! Maybe a change is just what I need in my life right now!

And so I'll go to meet the friends I'm supposed to meet right now. We'll all be having drinks, and we may all have an angel and a devil on either shoulder, but I bet only mine will be whispering to me about paper formats.

Happy Easter!

You may have noticed the lack of a Free-for-All Friday this past week. I've decided to make them only every other week, to cut down on the number of posts.

In other news, I've been mourning DayRunner lately. It was my 2nd organizer, after my first Filofax, and, even though I run a Filofax blog, DayRunner still has a special place in my heart.

I especially miss the Memo-ry page. A DayRunner is more structured than a Filofax but less pre-programmed than Franklin Covey, and the Memo-ry page is the fulcrum on which the system rests. An idea that's brilliant in its simplicity. It's a to-do list, idea list, and tickler all in one. You just write things down as they come to you, with or without assigning a priority or due date.

One of the ingenious ideas is the box at left, where you can number the memos. Then you can simply use that number to refer to the memo in other parts of the organizer, without having to rewrite the entire item. Something else I love: the tab for the Memo-ry section is at the top, not the right, so you can flip to it instantly.

The DayRunner pages use light gray to delineate lines, rather than harsh black and white, which makes it easy to overwrite boundaries you're not using.

Here's a history of DayRunner: http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Day-Runner-Inc-Company-History.html

Click the picture for a Flickr tour of a vintage DayRunner (8.5 x 11 size) that I found recently on Overstock.com.

04 April 2009

A little while ago, a reader asked whether there's a bound, perforated pad whose pages are compatible with the Filofax Personal page size. I write in perforated A5 Miquelrius notebooks so that I have the option of punching and transferring the pages to an A5 Filofax. It makes sense that some folks might want to do that with a Personal Filo.

I thought the small Miquelrius spiral-bound, perforated 4 x 6 notebook might work, so I ordered one. I also ordered an A5 Rhodia top-bound notebook, to see if I can use it with my A5 Filo.

Well, the Miquelrius 4 x 6 doesn't work with Personal. Not only is it too vertically short, but the torn-off size is 4" wide. I was hoping that the 4" width included the spiral binding, so the perforation would be closer to the Personal 3-3/4" width. Nope.

With the Rhodia A5, I found the opposite problem. The bound pad is a perfect A5, so when you tear off the sheet, it's much shorter than A5 and not suitable for hole punching.

Oh, well. It was worth a shot.

L'écrivain Peter Moss tué dans l'attentat de Marrakech

"He was praised as one of the UK's finest travel writers 'with an unmatched eye for detail'."

Peter Moss, un auteur britannique connu pour ses récits de voyages, est le seul Britannique qui a perdu la vie dans l'attentat de Marrakech du 28 avril.  Il était également comédien et journaliste.  Apprenant sa mort la Princesse Lalla Joumala a écrit à Jonathan Pollard, éditeur de Jewish Chronicle, indiquant qu'elle avait lu les "témoignages émouvants" sur Peter Moss et que tout serait fait pour traduire devant la justice les auteurs de l'attentat.  Il a publié des artictles dans Jewish Chronicle qui lui rend hommage.  Extrait:

"Mr Moss, a member of New London Synagogue in St Johns Wood, was a coach for his 26-year-old filmmaker son's football team, FC Team. He previously taught sports at Rosh Pinah Primary School and performed stand-up comedy shows at various venues around the world. His son, Gideon, said: "He was the fittest player in the squad and even played for us when the team was first formed.

"Dad had a massive passion for films and watched them ferociously. It was on a trip he took us on to Kenya when I was about seven that I first used the family camcorder to make a film and was captivated from then on."

Stuart Lustigman, chairman of the Maccabi Masters Football League, which Mr Moss played for, said: "I was fortunate to have known him and I will always remember him for his individuality and unique personality."

Former JC travel editor, Jan Shure, said: "Peter Moss was a leading contributor for a decade, always bringing a very personal perspective to any destination he wrote about.

"He wrote with an artless fluency, his thrillingly vivid and beautifully structured prose bringing to life the cities, countries or hotels he experienced.

"In a citation in the British Press Awards, where he was a runner-up in 2001, for his JC writing, he was praised as one of the UK's finest travel writers 'with an unmatched eye for detail'. He always brought huge enthusiasm to his craft. He liked nothing better than to plant himself in a café, people-watch and make notes. It is a tragic irony he died almost certainly in search of something fresh and sharp to write about Marrakesh."

At the time of publication, the family were still waiting to hear when they could hold the funeral. Moroccan envoy Princess Lalla Joumala wrote to JC editor Stephen Pollard to say she had read the "moving tributes" on our website and promised "rapidly to bring those responsible to justice".

Demetrius Andrade admits he didn’t know anything about Liam Williams before Williams was mentioned as a potential opponent last year.

Now that he has familiarized himself with Williams, the unbeaten WBO middleweight champion isn’t impressed with Williams’ level of opposition and doesn’t consider his mandatory challenger capable of upsetting him Saturday in Hollywood, Florida. Andrade understands, of course, that the higher-profile, lucrative fights that he truly wants won’t happen if he doesn’t handle Williams in this obligatory defense of his 160-pound championship.

This 12-round battle between Andrade (29-0, 18 KOs), a southpaw from Providence, Rhode Island, and Williams (23-2-1, 18 KOs), of Clydach Vale, Wales, is the main event of DAZN’s stream Saturday. DAZN’s undercard coverage is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. ET from Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

“Is he mentioned to be very good in the sport of boxing like that?,” Andrade asked about Williams during an interview with “Does his name get mentioned with Canelo, Charlo, Billy Joe Saunders? Not to undermine or look past him, because I’m not looking past him as far as I’m not training hard because, at the end of the day, it’s somebody trying to take my head off, somebody trying to stop me from feeding my family. I’m gonna do what I need to do. But like I said, it is Liam Williams.”

Williams, 28, has lost only back-to-back fights to former WBO junior middleweight champ Liam Smith in 2017.

England’s Smith (29-2-1, 16 KOs) defeated Williams by ninth-round technical knockout in their first fight, a close contest that ended due to two cuts along Williams’ right eyelid. Williams was ahead of Smith by the same score, 86-85, when their scheduled 12-round fight was halted during the ninth round.

Williams lost a majority decision to Smith in their 12-round rematch seven months later. Smith won their second bout by scores of 117-111, 116-112 and 114-114.

His fights with Smith are the two most noteworthy bouts on Williams’ record.

Two years after their rematch, Williams stopped Alantez Fox in the fifth round of their December 2019 bout at Copper Box Arena in London. Fox (27-2-1, 12 KOs, 1 NC), of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, lost a 12-round unanimous decision to Andrade in October 2017 at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.

“He might be tougher than the last opponents that Canelo just fought or Billy Joe Saunders just fought or Triple-G just fought,” Andrade said in reference to Avni Yildirim, Martin Murray and Kamil Szeremeta, respectively. “He might be tougher and better than all them guys, which I take all credit for because I’m willing to get in there with these type of fighters, that are not well known, but are tough guys that are willing to say yes to make their mark. He’s not just coming to lay down. I don’t like to fight people that are just gonna come to lay down. There’s nothing really in it for me. Yeah, OK, we get in the ring, but where’s the joy?”

CliftonStrengths®: Deliberative® – The Risk Assessor

by | Jun 9, 2019 | Strengths | 0 comments

CliftonStrengths® defines the talent theme of Deliberative® as people who “take serious care in making decisions or choices. They anticipate obstacles.”

You are careful

Before making any decision you’ll stop, assess and weigh the pros + cons, then take action.

You sense risks beneath the surface and need to expose any potential risk.

Being cautious and making the correct decision is more important to you, than the time it takes to do so.

You have good judgment

Helping others, who ask for your help, to think through their decisions before they act too quickly can be one way to utilize your talent.

Being a sounding board for a more conservative approach will bring new perspectives.

You see things that others don’t and your often thoughtful approach gives you the foresight you need to make wise decisions.

You need time

Listening to needs and thinking things through before being expected to speak or taking action.

You will anticipate potential risks or things that could go wrong and with that prevent problems or reduce the risks before happening.

You bring a thorough and conscientious approach to your endeavors with accuracy and stability.

You need to plan ahead

You love restraint and caution in the face of risk and hate any rush to judgment. You tend to slow things down.

Deliberative is about action, processing what’s true and the truth, thinking some more and then taking action. Due diligence is key.

You can plan for the unexpected.

You minimize risks

Your awareness and ability to tune in to potential risks before jumping helps you and others avoid mistakes.

You also tend to be a good listener, not necessarily share about yourself and think before speaking.

Being selective and private, you may be reserved and only bringing trusted friends and co-workers in.

You’re a skeptic

Like a jury that deliberates so do you. Slowing things down and taking the time to review every detail until you’re crystal clear on what actions to take.

Thinking through your process of how you assess risk and sharing it with others, or simply being clear on it for yourself, could help you see the value you bring.

Gathering information and reviewing it from all angles ensures as safe of an option as there can be.

Do you have Deliberative® as one of your dominant talents? What risks are you currently aware of and what suggestions do you have for them?

A man and a boy on a beach

Click here to view it larger.

What it is:

Photo measuring 3 x 5 inches.

What I know about it:

No information.

It’s a hot, summery day here, and what could be more appropriate to share than a day-at-the-beach photo, right?  Well, I’ll admit I always feel a little guilty when I consider posting this one.  While I’m sure the boy was delighted to have an outfit that would allow him to splash about in the water, it looks ill-fitting and uncomfortable (possibly wool), and makes for the sort of awkward photo that children later resent.  The man (his grandfather?), while dapper, doesn’t look any more comfortable on the beach in a three-piece suit.  But hopefully they had a good time, anyway.  By the way, I can’t tell what sort of body of water this is (assuming I’m seeing this photo correctly, and it’s actually a body of water), though it was only after enlarging it that I realized what looks like a rocky outcropping in the upper right is actually some sort of building.

Modified Pilgrimage 2020

Modified Pilgrimage

Something for everybody

Families with children under 12 or seniors who prefer a minimum of walking can make a ‘modified’ pilgrimage.

More time is spent in camp in prayer, confessing, receiving spiritual counsel or sermons, singing, and enjoying the fellowship of other pilgrims.

Children also learn catechism and play with other young pilgrims.

Modified pilgrimage participants are organized into their own distinct brigade and thus pray together at Holy Mass. They also walk with the rest of the column, typically at step-off in the mornings, and as the main column approaches camp in the evening.

Special transportation arrangements and help in bivouacs are organized by the Vice-Director for Modified Events with (limited) assistance from the Company of St. René Goupîl.

Special accommodations for families & seniors in 2020

For families ONLY opting to bring an RV, camper or full-size van to transport the family between camps & to provide sleeping quarters, parking the vehicle on campground property Thursday night property incurs a fee, after registration, payable to the campground.

Thursday night’s camp also offers a few small log cabins for families and seniors to rent, also for a fee not included in registration.

Parents or seniors contact the manager/owner directly, optimally in advance, to rent a cabin or park an RV at camp.

  • day-1 Fri — is not a camp but a farm, the home of a generous Mennonite Family. Pilgrims bringing an RV or other vehicle will pay a fair price to the Farmer upon arrival Friday.
  • day-2 Sat — is also not a camp but the farm-home of pilgrim-leaders Reuben & Tessa DeMaster. Pilgrims bringing an RV or other vehicle are asked to give a fair gift to The DeMasters upon arrival Friday.

Please see the FAQs page for more about the modified Pilgrimage. Or contact the Vice-Director via e-mail.

Firmware licenses threatening the concept of ownership

in code on (#7KYD)
In the software world, it's long been the practice that you don't purchase software, you purchase a license to use it. But as software increasingly gets woven into other products - like the many chips and circuits that run your modern automobile - this practice starts to chip away at the traditional sense of ownership of physical goods.
In a particularly spectacular display of corporate delusion, John Deereâ€”the worldâ€™s largest agricultural machinery maker â€”told the Copyright Office that farmers donâ€™t own their tractors. Because computer code snakes through the DNA of modern tractors, farmers receive â€œan implied license for the life of the vehicle to operate the vehicle.â€

Itâ€™s John Deereâ€™s tractor, folks. Youâ€™re just driving it.

Several manufacturers recently submitted similar comments to the Copyright Office under an inquiry into the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. DMCA is a vast 1998 copyright law that (among other things) governs the blurry line between software and hardware. The Copyright Office, after reading the comments and holding a hearing, will decide in July which high-tech devices we can modify, hack, and repairâ€”and decide whether John Deereâ€™s twisted vision of ownership will become a reality.
It's a conversation with profound implications for the future. Check out the rest at Wired.

Yes, there are aftermarket ECUs and also ECUs for racing that could be adapted to run a street car. But in my state (NY), my car has to pass a state inspection every year that is partly done through the OBDII interface. The inspection station querys the engine computer to make sure that the emissions system is working correctly. When I looked at the two sites you mention I didn't see any mention of this capability (maybe I'm not looking in the right place)?

Blue Chip Lineman Will Putnam Recaps Pitt Visit

Blue Chip Lineman Will Putnam Recaps Pitt Visit

This post sponsored by Eagle Property Management, Pittsburgh’s first choice for commercial and residential property maintenance. For more information, call them at 412-498-8421 or visit

Illinois offensive tackle Will Putnam is one of the top offensive lineman in the Class of 2019.

Despite only being a sophomore, Putnam (6-foot-4, 265 pounds) holds offers from Georgia, Iowa, LSU, Michigan State, Nebraska, Ohio State, Penn State, UCLA and Pitt.

Today, Putnam made the trip to Pittsburgh and spent the day with the Panthers football program.

“Today was one of the better visits that I’ve ever been on. I got to see everything from obviously practice, to position meetings, to coaches, the campus, the field where they play at. I was pretty much able to see everything associated with Pitt football,” said Putnam.

Since he had such an extensive visit, I asked Putnam what stood out most about the visit?

Courtesy of Will Putnam

“The university was a lot different than I thought it was. How the campus was laid out, its’s not in the middle of the city but it’s close enough, yet far away enough. There’s just so many opportunities at Pitt in the city of Pittsburgh. Plus with all the academics, it’s just something you don’t really think about. With all these things, there’s just so many opportunities at the University of Pittsburgh,” said Putnam.

Another thing that impressed Putnam was watching Pitt offensive line coach John Peterson at Panther practice.

“I really liked Coach Peterson and his enthusiasm whether it was on the field or in the film room. His enthusiasm and his line getting after it just shows how he is as a person. I thought it was a good practice today and I took a lot away from it.”

Speaking of enthusiasm, I asked Putnam about his conversation with “Mr. Enthusiasm” Pat Narduzzi.

Courtesy of Will Putnam

“He was just telling me “Pitt is It” whether it’s about football or academics and how Pitt just sets you up for after football whenever that is. I got to talk to him a little before practice and during but really with him after practice. His message was that they want me to play football at Pitt and how Pitt was the best place for me and how I fit in with the Pittsburgh culture.”

The second floor of birdhouse is as a unique thing that this article will show you. To make the second floor of birdhouse, you do not need to remake your birdhouse if you already have a birdhouse. You just detached the entire roof on your birdhouse. Do not forget to prepare another wood to make the other wall. After you already detached the roof, add the wood on the top of the walls. Make it flat as the same as the first floor on your birdhouse. Then, add some wall again and cover with the roof. Do not forget to make a door on the second floor.

Additional Steps in Realizing the Birdhouse Idea

Finally, your second floor birdhouse has been finished.You can paint your birdhouse with your favorite color to make it beautiful. Keep your birdhouse clean because a clean birdhouse makes your bird feel comfort to stay.

title: Utility vs usability date: 2020-11-06

outputs: [html, gemtext]

In many fields, professional-grade tooling requires a high degree of knowledge and training to use properly, usually more than is available to the amateur. The typical mechanic’s tool chest makes my (rather well-stocked, in my opinion) tool bag look quite silly. A racecar driver is using a vehicle which is much more complex than, say, the soccer mom’s mini-van. Professional-grade tools are, necessarily, more complex and require skill to use.

There are two attributes to consider when classifying these tools: utility and usability. These are not the same thing. Some tools have both high utility and high usability, such as a pencil. Some are highly usable, but of low utility, such as a child’s tricycle. Tools of both low-utility and low-usability are uncommon, but I’m sure you can think of a few examples from your own experiences :)

When designing tools, it is important to consider both of these attributes, and it helps to keep the intended audience in mind. I think that many programmers today are overly concerned with usability, and insufficiently concerned with utility. Some programmers (although this sort prefers “developer”) go so far as to fetishize usability at the expense of utility.

In some cases, sacrificing utility in favor of usability is an acceptable trade-off. In the earlier example’s case, it’s unlikely that anyone would argue that the soccer mom should be loading the tots into an F1 racecar. However, it’s equally absurd to suppose that the F1 driver should bring a mini-van to the race track. In the realm of programming, this metaphor speaks most strongly to me in the design of programming tools.

I argue that most programmers are professionals who are going to invest several years into learning the craft. This is the audience for whom I design my tools. What trouble is it to spend an extra hour learning a somewhat less intuitive code review tool when the programming language whose code you’re reviewing required months to learn and years to master?

An XKCD comic which depicts a table that compares "time to improve task" versus "time saved by improvement" and how to figure if the improvement is worthwhile

I write tools to maximize the productivity of professional programmers. Ideally, we can achieve both usability and utility, and often we do just that. But, sometimes, these tools require a steeper learning curve. If they are more useful in spite of that, they will usually save heaps of time in the long run.

Instead of focusing on dumbing down our tools, maximizing usability at the expense of utility, we should focus on making powerful tools and fostering a culture of mentorship. Senior engineers should be helping their juniors learn and grow to embrace and build a new generation of more and more productive tooling, considering usability all the while but never at the expense of utility.

I’ll address mentorship in more detail in future posts. For now, I’ll just state that mentorship is the praxis of my tooling philosophy. We can build better, more powerful, and more productive tools, even if they require a steeper learning curve, so long as we’re prepared to teach people how to use them, and they’re prepared to learn.

Nutrient dose-responsive transcriptome changes driven by Michaelis–Menten kinetics underlie plant growth rates (PNAS)

Plants can increase their growth and biomass proportionately to an increase in nutrient dose and, conversely, their growth is limited by limiting nutrients. In this study, Swift et al. explored the molecular underpinnings of the nutrient dose-response phenomenon. The authors first show that nitrogen-dose affects the rate of transcript change genome-wide in Arabidopsis. They showed that this dose-responsive gene expression pattern follows the Michaelis-Menten (MM) kinetics model. However, this relationship is not linear because at higher doses of nitrogen there was a diminishing effect on the rate at which genes were induced or repressed. Since transcription factors largely controls gene expression, the authors reason that transcription factors could be acting as a catalyst driving the rate of transcript change in response to nitrogen-dose. The authors identified three transcription factors; LBD37/38 and TGA1 as candidate transcriptional regulators of the nitrogen-dose response. They looked for cis-regulatory elements overrepresented in the promoter of genes whose transcript change in response to nitrogen-dose follow the MM model and found that the TGA1 binding site was overrepresented. In addition, those genes are also preferentially expressed in the root pericycle and stele where TGA1 itself is expressed. Using knock out mutants and overexpression lines, they showed that TGA1 levels mediate accelerated Arabidopsis growth rates in response to nitrogen dose.
