The Yorkville Ball, hosted at the Upper East Side's Union Club, is a celebration of the finer things in life. Champagne, tuxedos and elevated gowns filled the historic rooms of the private club on Saturday, November 10th. Benefiting Search and Care, an organization whose services aid elderly in everyday tasks, the event possessed an air of grandeur. Rivaling that of Fitzgerald's Gatsby, the bash was a gilded gathering of the city's most elite and gorgeous, rocking some of their black tie masquerade best.

You quickly learn that there is a no-cell-phone policy at The Union Club, like an upper echelon Soho House. The people who are members here aren't celebrities, but they hold all the power. The guests are a mix of trust-funders, self-made entrepreneurs, couples reveling in their romantic New York City life, and singles looking for their social match.

I ask a new acquaintance, who I learn is from California, if his hometown is on fire. He responds, "No, it's quite a sleepy town. Full of grandmas and grandpas." I retort, "No, is it legitimately on fire? Like, is your home okay?" He responds, "Oh, I thought you meant on fire in the millennial sense, like lit."

The Peter Duchin Orchestra blares crowd-friendly big band music, and I really do want to dance. Something about the clothes and the evening feels like real New York magic. It's almost an alternative reality, one where the gentlemen are well dressed, the women are courteous and the alcohol is free.

There are so many little nooks you can meander through: a card room with framed royal flush hands of poker dated back to the '70s, intimate emerald colored rooms, or brash ballrooms full of people. A room for all kinds of partygoers.

Next year, dust off your tux and gown and make sure you don't miss this party. It was lit, in the millennial sense of the word.

Play Guitar Flash Online

Free Guitar Flash Online Playing OptionsAlright, this is actually fun. I’m usually not a huge fan of all these guitar games that you can play online or via a game console. My point always is, why bother with a game when you can have the real deal? But obviously you can’t compare the two things with each other. Which by the way not everybody seems believe to be true. A buddy of mine for instance keeps telling me that I would be probably very good at those guitar flash online games that he spends hours on every day – for some reason he believes that playing guitar (I mean playing the actual instrument) and hitting keys on your keyboard are pretty much the same thing. Oh well…

Anyway, more or less by accident I ended up on a site that features all different kind of animations and a broad variety of guitar flash game applications. All of them follow more or less the same principle, which can be compared to Tetris. There symbols or icons coming down from the top of the screen and you got to hit certain keys at a certain time to get points. Each string is represented by a key, you just need to make sure that your timing is right. The farther you advance in a song or in the game, the faster and the more difficult it gets. The most popular of these applications is the Guitar Hero Online Flash Game. Here is a link, it’s for free and no sign-up is required (unless you want to keep track of your score).

Another popular one is apparently made by some Brazilian programmers and it’s called “Guitar Flash” (with its sequels “Guitar Flash 2” and “Guitar Flash 3”). Again, the exact same philosophy and game structure, just a little bit more advance. In for playing some virtual solos? Okay, click here. It’s free, the only challenge is that it’s not in English, but even with zero command of Portuguese, I was able to start Dire Straits’ Sultans of Swing. Well, I survived for 20 seconds or so. I guess I need more practice.

Okay, I have to admit, these guitar flash online games seem to be fun. However, just not my cup of tea I guess. And while I will have to acknowledge that it does apparently take some practice to get good at it, I’d rather stick with a real guitar, actual strings and a Marshall Amp.

E Mixolydian Bebop scale

E Mixolydian Bebop scale for guitar.
The E Mixolydian Bebop, also called E Dominant Bebop, is an eight-note scale. Colored circles in the diagram mark the notes in the scale with darker color highlighting the root notes. In the fretboard pattern, the first root note is on the 6th string, 12th fret.

2 octaves

b7 D
7 D#

The E Mixolydian Bebop scale consists of eight notes. These can be described as steps on the guitar fingerboard according to the following formula: whole, whole, half, whole, whole, half, half, half from the first note to the same in the next octave.
The E Mixolydian Bebop has the same notes as the E Mixolydian but includes a major seventh, the last note in the scale.

This scale is typically played over a dominant seventh chord (primarily E7 in this case) in the bebop style of jazz. This is hinted from the alternative name of this scale, E Dominant Bebop.
The most obvious way to learn this scale is to think of it as a Mixolydian mode with an leading tone before the main note.

The main chords that are related to this scale are the following:

  • E7
  • F#m7
  • Bm7
  • Cm#7

The tones in these chords correspond to the tones of this scale.

The B Dorian Bebop is the relative minor scale to E Mixolydian Bebop, which means that both scales include the same notes but in different orders. In addition, there are also Major Bebop and Minor Bebop.

Start the audio and play along! Use notes from the scale in the diagram above.

Grand Junction CO

We were scheduled for a 110 mile transit from Gunnison CO to Grand Junction CO on June 3…so that’s exactly what we did. Since it was a short day we didn’t start as early as we usually would…but ended up hitting the road about 1020 or so…heading west…again…on US-50.

There were a couple of grades on the way…we had to get up on top of Blue Mesa which is just past the reservoir I posted the shots of the other day, then through a skinny little canyon getting down off the mesa…then another two…well, the road signs called them summits but they were typical slightly curvy grades up and down through some decent sized hills…no worry for us, we just got in the right hand lane on the way up and let Big Red and the Cummins diesel do what they needed to do to get to the top…then just downshifted a couple gears and coasted down on the engine brake. Once we were past Montrose it was a pretty flat 4 land limited access road all the way to Grand Junction.

We pulled into the KoA there…and quickly got checked in and parked in site C8…a really nice pull through gravel site. The only out of the ordinary thing was when Neil put the rear jacks down there was a lot of clunking as the relatively large gravel pieces shifted when the weight went onto the jacks…we were momentarily concerned until we figured out where the noise was coming from. Once we were leveled we had lunch then finished setting up and Neil ran a regeneration cycle on our water softener. Essentially you put two pounds of salt in it, let it sit for 10 minutes, and then slow flush it for 30 minutes and fast flush it for 10 minutes to let the salt remove all the original minerals that it had taken out of our water and prepare it for another run. We normally do this every 6 weeks or so…the benefit is soft water no matter where we are. He has a little connector jig that lets him connect the discharge during the flush to our sewer hose connection so that the flush water runs down the sewer connection in the site rather than on the ground…that would (a) make a mess and (b) dump a bunch of salt out on the ground which would kill the grass between sites.

Meanwhile…Connie resolved the issue we were having with our DirecTV receiver from the other night…essentially she just let the dish lock onto the birds and then rebooted the receiver to make it happy…DTV has a lot of user unfriendly copy protection stuff built into their service and their system really doesn’t expect receivers to move like they do when in an RV.

Tuesday morning we were up early and out the door about 0830 for our Fun Stuff© for Grand Junction…a day trip to the Colorado National Monument. None of us had ever heard of it before we started doing our route 50 research…Connie noticed the green spot on Google Maps that means some sort of park, wondered what it was, found out what it was, and put it on the schedule.

I gotta tell ya…we’ve discovered another hidden gem in the National Park Service system…it was way cooler than any of us thought it would be…so lemme get right into it.

We had one intermediate drive-by stop before getting to the monument…and on the way there we spotted this road sign. I was going to leave it for the “interesting things found on the net” section…but then it wasn’t found on the net…so I debated starting a new section named ‘interesting things found on the road” but decided there wouldn’t be too many entries so I’ll just put it here.

IMG 2989

What is it with these people coming up with these road names? It crossed the road we were on at this traffic light…and was named Unaweep Road on the other side…so why they didn’t they just use the same name…I dunno.

We continued on down the road to Fruita CO to see the memorial statue to Mike the Headless Chicken…yes, he was born and raised in Fruita CO. You can check out the full story here…but essentially Mike (April 20, 1945 – March 17, 1947) lived on a farm in Fruita. Owner Lloyd Olsen went out on September 10, 1945 to get a chicken to feed his mother in law. He selected Mike, chopped his head off with his ax…but unfortunately old Lloyd sorta missed…the ax removed most of his head but missed the jugular vein, leaving one ear and most of the brain stem attached. Mike jumped up from the stump…started running around…and didn’t die. The story on wikipedia doesn’t say what Lloyd did for dinner…but he decided to feed Mike and let him live. Lloyd took Mike to the University of Utah to establish that Mike (a) didn’t have a head and (b) was still alive. Mike lived another 18 months and made Lloyd quite a tidy little sum being photographed, appearing in slide shows, and the like. At the height of his career…Mike was bringing in $4,500 a month…or $50,500 in today’s dollars. Here’s an actual photo of Mike that I got from wikipedia.

So what does this have to do with anything? Well, Mike…being the only thing ever to happen in Fruita…is now an institution and has such things as the annual Mike the Headless Chicken Day…which includes a festival with Pin the Head on the Chicken games, a 5K race, and Chicken Bingo…which involves putting a bingo board under some chickens in a cage and letting them choose the numbers with…well chickenshit is the appropriate term.

Turns out that Connie found a statue to Mike in downtown Fruita right off of US-50…and since the whole point of this journey is to “take the road less traveled by”…we were off to visit and document this truly Only-in-Small-Town-America event.

So…here he is…in all his glory…I especially like the touch of the Christmas lights wrapped around the sculpture.

IMG 3124

After the photo…we were getting back into the car when Neil noticed we were right outside of Aspen Street Coffee and Pastries…score!!! We quickly popped in and 2 scones for tomorrow’s travel day breakfast and a slice of pumpkin bread which we determined would be most excellent warmed up for dessert and covered with ice cream and chocolate sauce. Then…off to the Colorado National Monument.

We headed off another 7 or 8 miles to the monument…flashed our senior pass at the entrance station…I gotta tell you we’ve gotten our money’s worth out of that pass…it cost us $10 each (we needed 2 since sometimes we are in 2 vehicles) back when we turned 62 and it gives us free admission to every site in the National Park Service system as well as half price discounts at any campgrounds we use in their system or that are run by the Corps of Engineers or any other site that provides reservations for. Anyway…after flashing our pass we headed up to the top of the monument to take in the rim drive.

DSC 0552

The monument is located in the Colorado Plateau region…which amazingly enough is located mostly NOT in Colorado. It’s a roughly oval shaped area about 300 miles north to south and 200 east to west centered on the 4 Corners area…heck, instead of describing it lemme just show you a picture.

DSC 0600

Here’s a slightly blown up version with NPS places marked on it.

DSC 0599

The Colorado Plateau has the highest concentration of NPS units of any place in the country outside of the Washington DC area…located within it are 9 National Parks…we’ve been to 7 so far and will knock out Capital Reef, the last of Utah’s Mighty 5 National Parks later this week and Petrified Forest is too far south of Grand Canyon to get to this trip. It also contains 18 National Monuments…of which we have been to 8. There are several different regions that make up the plateau…but when you look at the topography from the 10,000 miles away level it’s pretty clearly a single high desert area.

Here’s an image from Google maps that you can see how the region became defined. The orangey section in the middle that’s sort of bounded by the four state names is pretty much the boundary.

Screen Shot 2019 06 04 at 3 28 04 PM

The Colorado National Monument is located on a section named the Uncompahgre Uplift and it looks out onto Monument Canyon which is where the city of Grand Junction is located. I don’t know why they call it a canyon…it looks more like a 20 mile wide valley to me rather than a canyon…but what do I know. There are many other features that actually look like canyons in the monument…and one end of them does open out to Monument Canyon/valley…but to our eyes there’s a clear difference between the canyons in the monument and the flat grassy area further away from the mesa. I googled it and while both are formed by water…it appears that “most geologists” say that a canyon is deeper, narrower, and has steeper sides. I’ll point out in some of the photos later where the Monument Canyon is…see if you agree that it should really be a valley instead. Most geologists also believe that a canyon is a special subcategory of valley…the real trouble is that there is no official definition and somebody way back when called it the Monument Canyon…and the name stuck I guess.

OK…on to photos.

The first sight you get to is Balanced Rock. It was really early in the morning and we’re looking almost due east here…so it was extremely backlit and almost completely in silhouette. Here are two different HDR treatments of the images Neil shot…first one was done with Lightroom and the second with Aurora HDR 2018. Lightroom is a lot faster but you get zero ability to affect how the images are consolidated…Aurora is slower but you can adjust just about anything you want. Personally I think the Aurora one is far superior as you can adjust various parameters to bring out a lot more detail, color, and realistic rendering of the image.

DSC 0564 HDR

DSC 0562 Edit 2 HDR

Notice in a lot o the there are different layers in the rock very similar to what we saw at Black Canyon NP earlier…not surprising since it’s all part of the same Colorado Plateau…and all of it was underwater in the distant past. Some of the layers were laid down by sea, some by volcanic activity, and some by ash from distant volcanic eruptions.

Back in the day…before the road to the top was built by the CCC during the Great Depression…the only way to the top of the mesa was the ‘road’ on the ridge opposite. Imagine trying to drive cattle up and down that road…the ranchers brought the herd to the top of the mesa for the summer and back down to the valley for dinner. You can barely see the goat track…road is too kind of a word…in a few places in this shot.

D71 7781

Looking down on Fruita CO…which is located in Monument Canyon…the mountains in the rear are 20 miles away…so does this really look like a canyon to you…or is valley a better description as discussed above?

D71 7786

A Pińon Pine…or as we chefs would say…pine nuts on the hoof. This is the source of pine nuts used in cooking…which are almost worth their weight in gold. We no longer buy them because we’re too cheap…roasted sunflower seeds are a decent substitute…real pine nuts cost $15 to $20 for an ounce…which means a pound of them is between $240 and $320…and a pound would fit in a teacup. That’s why we don’t buy them any longer. The other common tree in the monument is the juniper.

DSC 0570

One of the 3 tunnels we passed through on the drive…blasted by the CCC through solid rock. Literally the only option as the fins they blasted through were 70 or so feet here and the other two were hundreds of feet tall…and there was no way for the road to get around them.

DSC 0571

Rock actively engaged in falling off the side of the mesa…as long as you consider actively engaged to mean sometime in the next millennia or three. The freeze/thaw cycle has produced the cracks seen here…they were about 20 feet deep. Once they get deep enough…along with the cracking of the rock under the base…they will either fall forward into the canyon or slide down as Fallen Rock did further down the photos.

DSC 0573

Looking down the canyon we took to the top of the mesa. The road from Fruita starts back in the right rear, curls around the right side ridge, up through the canyon and then around the back of the ridge to the left. After a series of switchbacks on the back of that ridge it ends up coming into this overlook viewpoint from the left side.

D71 7794

Wide pano looking down on Fruita…again does this really look like a canyon in the medium distance?

DSC 0588 Pano

Another view of Balanced Rock…this time from the mesa top. The previous photo was taken from the viewpoint just out of the frame to lower left.

D71 7799

DSC 0620 Edit

DSC 0625

Whip tailed lizard…this one was about a foot long and the ranger said they maxed out at about 15 inches or so.

Howard Payne Memorial Dead Tree photo.

DSC 0640

Cool looking log…it’s a Pińon Pine

DSC 0644

Looking down at the “Window”…near as we could tell it’s not a window as in a hold through a fin but the hold between the formation to the left known as the Island and the next one over. Both of them were originally connected to the mesa…there’s a better shot of this from the other side later.

D71 7807 2

DSC 0657

This is the side of the fin that forms the free standing portion of the Window in the shot a few back…the fins are really thin compared to height and length.

DSC 0662

The Window from the other side. The earlier shots were taken from a viewpoint at the top of the dark brown ridge just left of center. Way back in the day…like millions of years ago…the “Island” on the far right and the freestanding fin just right of center were connected to the mesa at the far left behind the tree.

DSC 0664

The kissing couple…we’re looking here from behind over the left shoulder of one of the couple.

D71 7826

Another shot of the Window from this side.

D71 7832

Another pano shot from Grand View…we thought this was the second best shot we got today…the one way back with the road snaking up through the canyon we thought was the most impressive view. This shot is just about 180 degrees wide.

DSC 0679 Pano

DSC 0692

These formations are named the Coke Ovens based on their shape.

D71 7837

Although Neil thought the formation in the right rear behind the Coke Ovens was better looking…it’s got cracks forming in it both in the direction of view as well as perpendicular…at some time in the future it will just be a bunch of needles aligned in a grid pattern.

DSC 0696

Artist’s Point is probably the most famous view here…I put this shot in just to show you the New Zealander on the lower left…he ran down there barefoot. Connie didn’t go down to the viewpoint as she was tired and it was about 100 feet down in elevation. When Neil passed this guy…he volunteered that his boots were hurting his toes so he went barefoot instead. Takes all kinds I reckon.

DSC 0703

Neil had to take this flower shot since Connie wasn’t with him…this was about 2/3 of the way down to the overlook.

DSC 0706

Another pano from Artist’s Point…we thought it was the 3rd best view of the day…about 150 degrees wide.

DSC 0711 Pano

Coming back up from Artist’s Point overlook…he spotted this cave being eroded into the rocks…it is about 7 feet high under the ledge and 3 feet in the dark back center.

DSC 0726

This is Fallen Rock. It was originally…a long time ago…little farther back and to the left and the top was even with the top of the formation behind it. The freeze/thaw cycle had two effects on this piece of rock…which is about 150 or so feet by 150 feet at the top and maybe 300 feet tall. First…a vertical crack gradually developed behind this piece of rock. Second…the base under it was gradually eroded until finally the remaining stone wasn’t strong enough to stay attached and it broke loose. Instead of falling face forward and turning into rubble at the base…that rubble forms the 45 degree pile of rock around the base of an eroding mesa or cliff. At that point…the rock slide feet first down the rubble pile to the current position.

D71 7852

Distant view of the Fallen rock…you can see the rubble pile around the base formed by previous small falls. Usually the rock erodes and cracks off in relatively small pieces rather than the huge chunk that formed Fallen Rock. This is likely because there was a seam of softer and more readily eroded rock behind Fallen Rock when it was in position at the top of the formation.

D71 7854

DSC 0734

Ya know…I like a women in a dress and high heels as well as the next male…but look at this woman’s outfit and where she is walking to and see if you agree that it isn’t really the thing to wear on a drive along the rim of a canyon when you’re going to walk out on uneven rock and take photos.

DSC 0737

With that…our day was done…and our work here at Grand Junction is finished. So we headed for the rig, caught up on some chores in the afternoon and then went out for dinner to the Goat and Clover Tavern…the local Irish and British pub…for dinner.

Neil really, really thought about ordering the soup.

IMG 3228

Connie had a couple pints of Kilt Lifter…a Scottish ale made in Colorado. Neil had Guinness…naturally…it is the world’s finest beverage of course…and it was mighty tasty. Dinner was salmon glazed with apricots for Connie and a Steak and Ale pie for Neil…it also had mushrooms, onions, leeks, and carrots and was topped with puff pastry. Both dinners were excellent…afterwards we got back to the rig.

Tomorrow we’re off about 100 miles to Green River UT for 3 nights…Capital Reef National Park plus some other stuff is on the menu for Fun Stuff©.

Interesting things found on the net.

    I too laughed at the first time I visited Grand Junction and found myself at the intersection of F 1/2 Rd and 27 1/2 Road 🤣

      Ya gotta wonder sometimes about street names…Coral Gables FL has one named Ah-We-Wa Street.

    Yup, it’s a valley. Geologists can be just SO indefinite.

Porsche 356 Registry – East Coast Holiday ’10

The weather was overcast and crisp, anticipation of another feast for the senses was upon us. Provided for your viewing pleasure are a few TUB images taken during this early fall gathering of the faithful. If you find that you see someone in these photos who seems decisively familiar, thank you for providing your image as photo scale enhancements to these wonderful automobiles. No one will necessarily realize your were there, until this camera’s witness to your presence captured you here for posterity.

These memories of how it was are not sequenced to impress the viewer, rather, they are just as I remember it all as I wondered among the faithful. Thank you to all who unwittingly lent the image of their alter egos to this fabulous testimony to those who would never say die to their dream machines.

Porsche 356 Registry – Gulf Coast Holiday ’05

The photos shown here are from the Porsche 356 Registry Gulf Coast Holiday 2005, Boerne, TX.

All photos presented are for the continued enjoyment of everyone associated with the Porsche 356 Registry,

including those with a casual interest in the preservation of this unique automobile.

Our thanks to everyone who participated in this gathering of the faithful. Enjoy!

Staging for the Peoples Choice Concourse.  Five rows representing pre-A’s, A’s, B’s, C’s,

and modified or Outlaws were assembled.  The C’s were by far the largest category represented.

Not all participants in the holiday elected to display their TUBs.

This was a feast for our Hill Country eyes and ears to behold.

Although all are not clearly visible in these photos, this is an assembly of the Peoples Choice Award,

representing the coupe and convertible from each era.

Bill Jones’ Carrera, center stage in the peoples choice assembly.

There was alot of everything, coups and rag tops.

This participant really made the rounds, wonder how many of our photos were taken with him admiring the hardware.

Can you tell that there is a difference in these two silver coupes?

From these photos, whose rear finder has been widened 1.5” just below the taillight,

then tapered to 0” at the back of the door jamb–the one on the left, or the right?

Notice the finder skirt to tire coverage ratio clearly identified in the photos.

Everywhere one looked, the views were priceless. Its in the details,

you’ll always find it in the details.

Celebrating the early years of the Porsche Mark.

Office do-gooding

We had a good look around Hancock Creative HQ the other day and scrutinised the way we work – were we being as sustainable as possible? Were we supporting the social enterprises that we know and love? Were we do-gooding to the best of our ability?

We are now! Here’s what we came up with:

Who Gives a Crap’s recycled toilet paper, kitchen roll and tissues. These guys put 50% of their profits towards building toilets in the developing world. Order online here:

Bottle for Botol’s stainless-steel water bottles. We’re proud to be involved with this amazing social enterprise, which donates a reusable bottle and water station to an Indonesian school for every Australian water bottle sold. Buy your bottle here:

Community Pod’s coffee for a cause. For every coffee purchase made, Community Pod gives 10% of the total value to a cause of YOUR choice. We love this!

KeepCup’s reusable coffee cups. This Australian social enterprise aims to reduce the use of paper cups, and we’re right behind it!

Urbano Village for EVERYTHING. We adore this organisation, and we love working with them. We also love buying ALL THE THINGS for ALL THE OCCASIONS, knowing that we’re supporting social causes.

Thank You for toiletries and snacks! What’s not to love about Thank You? Devoted to ending global poverty, they donate 100% of profits to people in need.

Love Thread & Co for clothes! Another of our wonderful clients, 100% of their profits go towards Love Thread Project, an organisation with a mission to end the exploitation of women through education, empowerment and restoration.

Enjo for cleaning products. We love Enjo – their chemical-free cleaning products are handcrafted, reusable and made from natural fibres.

Have a think about doing these things, too:

  • Encourage staff to use real cutlery and reusable lunchboxes
  • Use whiteboards to convey info instead of printing on paper
  • Refill ink cartridges instead of buying new ones
  • Switch off lights when the sun’s shining
  • Print on both sides of the paper!
  • Use refillable pens
  • Install LED light globes
  • Put on a jumper when it’s cold, take it off when it’s warm!
  • Invest in a staple-less stapler
  • Add plants and greenery to the office

We’d love you to take up our sustainable-office challenge – let us know your thoughts and show us your results!

Go forth and do good!

Proving that nothing good can come from Trump and his supporters, the artist behind the naked Trump painting has been attacked

The Australian artist behind the recent nude painting of Donald Trump has been physically assaulted while out in Los Angeles.

The artist behind the Donald Trump “Micropenis” painting has been attacked by a mindless Trump supporter.

The painting has gone pretty damn viral, and just before you scroll down, know that is it a tad NSFW, or if you are just as repulsed by the thought of a naked Trump as we are, maybe squint your eyes so you don’t have to deal with the full brunt of the image.

Illma Gore, the painting’s artist, shared images on Instagram of the outcome of the horrendous attack she suffered, along with a detailed descrption of what happened. She explained “Today I was punched in the face by a man who got out of his car and yelled, “Trump 2016!” in Los Angeles.” Seriously? Although it comes as no surprise that any fan of Trump is just as ignorant and irrational as the man himself.

Screen Shot 2016-05-04 at 3.14.49 pm

She has directly tagged Trump in this Instagram post, pleading him to stop glamourising violence, saying “@realdonaldtrump Please stop glamorizing and perpetuating violence. Make America Decent Again! #makeamericadecentagain”. Let’s be real though, if Trump gets anywhere near the White House, there is no chance of making America decent again, so let’s just keep fingers, toes and anything else you can crossed that America makes the right decision.

The attackers have not been caught at this stage, though Gore has filed a police report and has asked for anyone who may have seen the incident to come forward.

Sensel Morph: MIDI control for any workflow you can imagine

The Morph from Sensel provides an extensive suite of options for MIDI control. From the traditional to the experimental, its potential is only limited by your imagination.

You might think that there are only so many ways to skin the proverbial cat. But the process of sending MIDI data to a computer via some kind of controller has spawned a plethora of experiments in recent years. A daring new MIDI control option comes from Sensel, manufacturers of The Morph.

To simply label it a MIDI controller sells The Morph short. Essentially, it provides a whole host of creative environments that are designed to suit your chosen workflow. It caters to the traditionalists, as well as the intrepid explorers who want to test the limits of MIDI expression.

The Morph arrives in a box that’s more redolent of tech than rock ‘n’ roll. There’s not much to disabuse of the notion when you unpack it either. You’re presented with a slick, silver, trackpad-like surface. And while the look is decidedly minimal, this interface conceals all the genius inherent in The Morph.

Getting hands-on

The base houses what Sensel call the ‘Multi-touch pressure sensitive active area’ — and with approximately 20,000 pressure sensors the surface, ‘sensitive’ is an understatement. It’s also capable of Polyphonic Expression (MPE). This means the extended expressive techniques, like pitch bends, vibrato and volume swells are available for each note independently, rather than the pitch bend stick and mod-wheel approach on traditional MIDI controllers.

The ‘active area’ alone won’t give you the means to tap into this extended expressive capability — and here is where The Morph’s showstopper comes into play. A series of silicon overlays pushes The Morph to many different disciplines. While it lends itself intuitively to music, it also caters for gaming, digital art, design and even video editing.

At the conservative end of the scale, there’s a ‘Piano’ overlay. When you slap it on the base, it lands in place with a satisfying thud and feels magnetised to the surface — no slipping and sliding around here. It’s a common gripe among keyboardists when MIDI controller companies mess with tradition (if it ain’t broke, why fix it?) and while the keyboard skin is decidedly flat, there’s ample texture to make notes definable, there’s ample space, plus, there’s enough give in the overlay to give you accurate dynamic feedback.

Arrows denoting octave shifts, velocity, vibrato, harmonisation and sustain are all available at the push of a button, alongside transport controls. Note that in the early stages, you’ll be reaching for the manual, fairly often but eventually, the small diagrams in lieu of labelling have a logic of their own.

Sensel Morph

Multiple personalities

For the most part, these functional buttons are carried across the different overlays. The playing surfaces themselves, however, have divergent personalities, depending on your workflow. The yellow ‘Drum’ overlay features a standard drum kit layout, making for a spacious and physically familiar performance experience. Thunder was created in collaboration with Buchla — a company also known for its own groundbreaking approach to musical expression — and offers up an ergonomic and novel way to perform on virtual instruments.

But perhaps most relevant to a modern DAW-based production context is the ‘Music Production’ overlay. It combines a 16-pad grid, reminiscent of the AKAI MPC, eight rotary encoders, two horizontal sliders and even an octave’s worth of micro-key piano keys. It works hand-in-glove with DAWs like Ableton Live, offering up the ideal medium to control drum racks and macros on an instrument rack.

If you have a taste for adventure, you can create your own custom maps and fields for expression with the ‘Innovator’s’ overlay. With drag and drop tools available in the Sensel App, you can literally invent your own MIDI controller with sliders, buttons, X/Y pads to create a completely customised world to suit your performance.

With The Morph, Sensel has proven that digital expression can be achieved in a way that utilises ergonomically friendly movements, all the while catering for the traditionally inclined, as well as the bold. It can be a platform for the utilitarian (there’s even a QWERTY keyboard overlay) and for recreation. With just a few humble materials, The Morph provides a vehicle for the imagination to run wild.

Jimmy the Hand

The whole of the magnificent Riftwar Cycle by bestselling author Raymond E. Feist, master of magic and adventure, now available in ebook

Jimmy the Hand, boy thief of Krondor, lived in the shadows of the city. The sewers were his byways and a flea-ridden, rat-infested cellar his home. Although gifted beyond his peers, he was still but a nimble street urchin, a pickpocket with potential. Until the day he met Prince Arutha.

Aiding the Prince in his rescue of Princess Anita from imprisonment by Duke Guy du Bas-Tyra, Jimmy runs afoul of Black Guy’s secret police. Given the choice of disappearing on his own or in a weighted barrel at the bottom of Krondor’s harbor, Jimmy flees the only home he’s ever known, venturing south to the relatively safe haven of Land’s End. Suspecting that the rural villagers have never encountered a lad with his talent and nose for finding wealth—other people’s wealth—he’s fairly optimistic about his broadening horizons. But Jimmy is completely unprepared for what greets him.

For Land’s End is home to others who tread the crooked path, and more, to a much darker secret: a dangerous presence unknown even to the local thieves and smugglers. And Jimmy’s youthful bravado and courage will plunge him deep into the maw of chaos and even—if he isn’t careful—death.

Be Strong, Be Kind

Strength coach, trainer educator, writer, mom to three awesome kids, pie enthusiast. Creating monsters since 2009.

Speed Work or How-running-got-much-much-worse.

My Tough Mudder training has been going okay for the most part.  I’ve worked up to being able to run about ten miles a week and my pace has improved from a virtual crawl to a solid eleven minute mile.  Yes, its still laughably pathetic, but I never had much more than a nine minute mile in me.  In fact, my best 400m ever was about 1:48.  To put that into perspective, my eight year old son runs the 400 in 1:28.  Its okay, I don’t care, I can do pullups, my kids think I’m really strong, and I know how to use a compass.  (That last one is kind of irrelevant to any of this, but it makes me feel smart.)

Try doing this 100 times; that’s how running fast for more
than 10 seconds feels to me.  (PS, that was rhetorical,
don’t ever bench press for 100 reps, that’s just silly.)

So, just when I was getting used to all this running and lifting all at the same time, I got a new set of instructions from my friend Dave.  I have to admit, it was the funniest thing I’d read in a while.  Mainly because it started out something like this:  “Power pacing intervals for cruising speed . . . blah . . . blah blah.” It then went on to explain how I was going to sprint “for 50 meters or more” followed by a three minute run at a “five minute pace”.  So, apparently, I’m supposed to run as fast as I can (about as far as I can run as fast as I can) and then somehow be able to continue running fast for three whole minutes.  And I’m supposed to do this three or four times.  This may not sound like a big deal to you seasoned runners, but imagine I told you to lift as much weight as you possibly could one time and then immediately lift about 75% of that weight for the next three minutes.  Its a long time, you might wish for death.  I didn’t quite hit three minutes on the track Wednesday morning, but I did sprint 50m and continue to run for another 350m before realizing I was losing consciousness.

Dave’s interval prescription may sound strange, but it is not actually strange or unheard of in training science.  VO2 max interval training can be used to boost one’s ability to go faster and longer when used correctly in an endurance training program.  The effects happen quickly, but there isn’t a lot of benefit to doing them too much if your goal is to increase your training volume over the long term.  If you use the right intensity, you shouldn’t be able to do these more than twice a week, once is better.  And, you shouldn’t use these unless you’ve reached a point in your training where you can maintain consistent form at high speeds.  It is powerful medicine and if you want to improve your ability to run long and fast, you need to execute these with perfect form.  If your form fatigues before you complete the interval, you don’t have the postural strength to utilize these correctly.

Pushups.  Not my favorite, but a great builder of core
strength and endurance.

So, now I’m supposed to do these intervals once a week in place of one of my running days AND (it gets better), transition to doing more bodyweight work, ie, dips, pullups, mountain climbers, monkey bars, etc.  As expected, after starting off this week with these programming changes, I sit here with sore calves, shoulders, arms, and my entire torso hurts when I laugh or cough.  I really hate change and it seems to hate me even more.  But, I know in a week or so, I’ll adapt, I’ll stop being sore, and I’ll be able to bust out ring dips like I did in the old days (well, more like 3 years ago, but still, I can do them).

***For more information on interval and endurance training, see Stephen Seiler’s paper on the subject:

Daily Inspiration.

Set Goals. Dream big. Take Action.

  • Wishing for results won’t achieve it.
  • Wanting results won’t accomplish it.
  • Hoping for results won’t cut it.
  • Resolving to get results won’t get it done.

So, what are the KEYS to success?

  • Clear achievable and specific Goals.
  • Then create a game Plan to achieve them. Fail to plan, then plan to fail.
  • Commitment to the plan.
  • The Discipline to do what it takes.
  • Consistency no matter what. Make it up if you slip or miss.
  • An intense Desire to do whatever it takes. No excuses.
  • NEVER give up attitude.

Failure in NOT an option! Ask Olympic champions. Ask the best professional athletes. Ask the top business leaders. Ask the top performers in any profession. They practice these principles.

How committed are you? Ask yourself:

  • What could you do if your life depended on it?
  • What could you do if failure meant losing your family?
  • Would you do whatever it takes?
  • Then why don’t you just do what it takes?
  • How bad do you want it?

The reason people fail has NOTHING to do with whether they CAN do it or not. It has to do with the battle of  THE WILL. And the WILLingness to defeat any obstacle.

The best way to Save Money on Fitness Equipment

Uncover All That You Should Find Out About Fitness Equipment. Would You Like It? Or Are You Currently Presently Best Investing In To A Fitness Trainer?

Fitness equipment within your house will not result in the same fitness results the qualified fitness instructor can offer for roughly the identical cost since the pricey fitness equipment, otherwise cheaper. Since a little bit of fitness equipment is just a product, it’s unable to deal with the advantages the actual fitness trainer can provide. This equipment will not assist you in the right techniques for weight loss and achieving into better shape. In addition, fitness equipment will finish up useless whenever you achieve your chosen amount of health.

Just like a resident considering improving their, you need to generate a proper exercise program. The expertise the fitness trainer has with fitness equipment provides you with a better understanding.

Fitness Equipment Can Be A Temporary Treatment For Better Health

The fitness equipment, it does not matter what sort of equipment it’s, only has limited use. There’s not merely one little bit of fitness equipment that may help you in finishing all of your workout goals.

Many individuals quit their workout goals or possibly they’re doing achieve them, the pricey exercise equipment dedicated to starts to collect dust.

Equipment To Help Keep Fit Will not Plan All Of Your Workout

Regardless of the cost that you just fund your fitness equipment, it will not plan all of your workout. It will not inform you all you need to do today to succeed in the individual workout goals.

Just an effective fitness instructor will help you effectively finishing your exercise routine goals, even if they seem impossible to tackle.

Invest Smart By Rethinking Your Fitness Equipment

The simple truth is, there isn’t a among the price of fitness equipment as well as the price of obtaining a fitness instructor. Both choices considered pricey, but you’ll gain much more in the fitness instructor than you’ll from the device.

A workout trainer can assist you to keep the morale as the fitness equipment will encourage you to definitely stay in your exercise routine goals, contrary.

Giving You Better Social Existence

By buying the help of a workout trainer against purchasing fitness equipment in the nearest shopping mall, you’ll be able to increase your social existence. You regularly meet others sticking with the same workout goals if you exercise inside a fitness center.

These individuals will need achieve your objectives around they wish to succeed in their own personal.

You will have someone to speak with (within your fitness instructor) for those who have questions on your exercise program. A little bit of fitness equipment can’t have a discussion together with you, departing you getting a lonely workout session.

So, To Summarize..

Fitness equipment can do you little good unless of course obviously you apply the fitness equipment from the fitness trainer find. Your fitness trainer, as with all human, is definitely worth more when compared to a mechanical device.

As Home theater system . have frequently seen lots of people lineup at fitness gyms or gyms round the treadmills as well as other machines and avail to no results.

Health Journalism 2008: What health systems of other countries can teach us Date: 04/07/08

This article is about a panel at Health Journalism 2008.

• John Appleby, chief economist, King's Fund, London
• André Picard, public health reporter, The (Toronto) Globe and Mail
Victor Rodwin, Ph.D., professor of health policy and management, New York University
Paul Thewissen, counselor, Health, Welfare & Sport at the Royal Netherlands Embassy, Washington, D.C.
• Moderator: Jonathan Cohn, senior editor, New Republic

By Lola Butcher
independent health care writer

While health care systems in other countries avoid some of the big problems experienced in the United States, it is unlikely that America can easily adopt features that work elsewhere.

After describing Canada's health care system, Andre Picard, public health reporter at The Globe and Mail in Toronto, said health systems reflect the values of the country in which it operates.

"Health care systems have to be culturally appropriate," Picard said. "We are a country that believes in collectivity as much as individual rights."

Picard was one of four speakers in a session moderated by Jonathan Cohn, senior editor at The New Republic. John Appleby, chief economist at King's Fund, described the health care system in England, one of four systems operating in the United Kingdom; Victor Rodwin, professor of health policy and management at New York University, spoke about the French health care system; and Paul Thewissen, counselor at the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Washington, discussed the system at work in The Netherlands.

The four systems have little in common except that they all provide universal access to a certain level of care and each accounts for 10 percent or less of its nation's gross domestic product.

Canada: Care is delivered privately by not-for-profit hospitals and doctors working in private practices that bill the government health plan for their services. "Medically necessary" services are covered; drugs and dental care are not covered, except for poor and elderly citizens.

Picard described a cost-effective system in which rationing is explicit; Alberta, for example, will pay for 400 bariatric surgeries this year, regardless of demand. Wait times for elective surgery and physician visits can be long, and the system is slow to adopt new technologies.

England: Now in its 60th year, the National Health Service shows no signs of instability. The public system is complemented with a small private system; most general practitioners and dentists contract with the NHS.

The system is informed by two perspectives on equity: Rich pay more than poor via a progressive tax code and equal access is provided for equal need. Every three years, a lump sum for health care is apportioned to geographic areas based on need. For example, an area with higher mortality rate or larger population of elderly receives proportionately more than a healthier, younger area.

The Netherlands: A highly regulated private health care system that is moving to managed competition, the country has an individual insurance mandate. Health insurers must accept all applicants and charge the same premium for all members; low income residents receive tax breaks to help pay premiums.

Thewissen said the system values primary care, and 90 percent of residents have a primary provider relationship. Problems with waiting lists for access have disappeared in recent years and because access to a physician is readily available, emergency departments are used for true emergencies. Prescription drug use appears to be significantly more conservative than in the United States.

France: Coverage has been growing incrementally for more than 60 years, and universal coverage was achieved in 2000. Although there are multiple health systems, the government is the single payer and reimbursement rates are uniform. Patients pay an 8 percent co-share for services and drugs.

Employers are mandated to provide coverage for workers. Physicians are not highly paid; Rodwin estimated that general practitioners make the equivalent of between $60,000 and $70,000 a year.

Authentic Community Engagement Requires Vulnerability

By Tim Schwantes on May 18th, 2016

When was the last time you were disarmed and uncomfortable in a professional setting, and stayed in that place longer than usual for the greater good? In order to create healthy community change, community engagement is vital and can sometimes create such discomfort. One of Active Living By Design’s six Essential Practices, community engagement is an intentional process of empowering adult and/or youth residents to authentically engage in and contribute to the planning and implementation of solutions within their own communities.

“Authentic” is the key word. Engaging communities means more than informing the public; it requires having ongoing, two-way dialogue. Community engagement requires a level of uncertainty, risk, and an openness to divergent ideas that can make many of us nervous.

Objections to authentic community engagement often run along the lines of:

  • “It will take too long, and we have a deadline.”
  • “We already know what the community thinks.”
  • “We know what is best for them,” or “They just need to be educated.”
  • “The funds are intended to address X, but the community wants to talk about Y.”
  • “We would like to, but the board/administration won’t allow it.”

There are a lot of ways we justify not reaching out to people in the community. And when stakes are high or a lot of resources are invested, control is something we cling to tightly (“we” being nonprofit organizations, government representatives, and foundations, among others). Strategic planning is important for organizations like these to thrive, yet a fully-formed plan that lacks the community’s voice can create conflict and backlash from the people we are trying to serve. Taking a risk by asking for outside input—where the outcome of a decision cannot be predicted—puts us in a vulnerable position.

But this vulnerability is precisely what opens the door to connection, understanding, and empathy—all of which enrich the process of community engagement.

Brené Brown addressed this issue in her 2010 TED Talk, “The Power of Vulnerability.” Much of her research focuses on individuals and connection, and the concepts also apply to organizations seeking to create healthy community change. When it comes to resident input, even well-meaning nonprofits, local governments, and foundations hesitate to seem vulnerable or “lean into the discomfort of the work,” to use Brown’s words.

As Henry Grabar puts it in a recent planning article, “The professionalization of the field demanded answers, and metrics like fear, hope, and pleasure are harder to measure than property values and job growth.” We tend to gravitate toward absolutes and quantifiable answers, but community engagement introduces equally important qualitative data that may be more difficult to quantify, thus exposing vulnerabilities.

Nonprofits, local governments, and foundations that embrace that vulnerability and consistently engage the community in their processes are more likely to create stronger connections and build greater trust with the people who are impacted the most by programs, policies, and environmental changes.

In Rancho Cucamonga, CA, for example, the city government created Healthy RC, a partnership that integrates community residents’ voices into much of the city’s departmental work, normalizing such engagement rather than viewing it as a novel approach. Loosening the reigns on our plans and presumptions and allowing community members to influence our decisions along the way can actually increase efficiency and help us to get it right the first time. Trust is built through shared power, openness, transparency, and a certain level of vulnerability.

A recent blog post by the Interaction Institute for Social Change beautifully describes that moment of judgement needed to navigate community input. The facilitation of this moment is both inspiring and instructional. And the author sums up the point nicely by saying: “It takes [a] level of vulnerability on all of our parts to step into the scary place of facing our blind spots and hearing corrective information that can help us to change.”

A long time ago, not gonna tell you how long, when our kids were very young we were planning to go to Delaware Park for a snowman building contest as part of a winter festival, and as the parents of three super energetic boys you can imagine that this was the topic of conversation for over a week. Trying to decide just what kind of snowman to build, should we have a castle too? How many can we make?   You get the picture. They were excited.

A couple of days before the contest, one of the boys (not mentioning any names) says to me with full confidence, “Mom, when are we going to jello underwear park to make snowmen?”  Umm.   Did I just hear that right?   It turns out I did.   I guess when we said ‘Delaware” he heard ‘jello underwear’!?   I am not even joking.   If you’re a parent, you know, you cannot make this stuff up!

And so of course, in our house, Delaware Park became known as ‘Jello Underwear Park’!

Unbeknownst to me at the time, the history of Delaware Park is actually an incredible story of Buffalo.

The streets of Buffalo were laid out in 1804 by Joseph Ellicott, an agent for the Holland Land Company.  He laid them out in a radial design like the spokes on a wheel, beginning at Niagara Square (which is actually a circle).

Fast forward to the 1860’s and Buffalo was fast becoming one of the most important cities in the country, thanks in large part to the opening of the Erie Canal, and our unique access to Lake Erie, the great lakes and the Niagara River.  We also had city leaders who were eager to keep Buffalo at the forefront of our nation’s activities.

After seeing New York City’s Central Park,   the movers and shakers in Buffalo wanted their own Central Park as well. So they did what was commonplace back then in Buffalo.  They invited the best and brightest landscape architect to create one.   Coincidence that it was the same man who designed NYC’s Central Park? Maybe, but probably not.

So, Frederick Law Olmsted came to Buffalo.   After touring the unique radial streets design created by Ellicott, Olmsted proposed a park system for Buffalo, instead of just one central park.  And our city leaders made the great decision to give us our Parkway system,  with Delaware Park being it’s crowned jewel.   It helped that we had the money.   Buffalo at one time had more millionaires per capita than any other city in the country!

At 350 acres, The Park (as originally named by Olmsted) is spectacular!   And at 150 years old, it is alive and well. Olmsted designed the system so that when moving from one park to another, you’d be travelling on a parkway so beautiful that you wouldn’t even realize you’d left a park. The Olmsted Parks Conservancy, a non-profit organization, operates and manages this historic park system. They were the first organization of their kind to do so in the nation.

Of course, nothing happens without a little controversy.  In the early 1960’s the  Scajaquada Expressway (NYS Route 198) replaced Humboldt Parkway, an Olmsted designed Parkway, cutting right through the park.  The Parkway was originally two lanes of slow traffic separated by two rows of beautiful trees and a bridle path.   Now it was a four lane highway.  Many, many people were displaced from their homes and neighborhoods were torn apart.  And Olmsted’s Park now was cut in two by a highway. All in the name of progress.

Over fifty years later, efforts continue to restore “the 198” to it’s former ambling Olmsted Parkway.   Although the speed limit has been reduced, the aesthetics have not improved.   And just recently these efforts have taken center stage again as we take a look at the feasibility of removing the highway altogether.   It’s been, and will continue to be for the near future anyway, a very complicated, heated matter here in Buffalo.

But for now, the Park remains two sided.   Visit either side on any given day, and you’ll see people walking, running, biking, golfing, playing baseball, basketball, soccer, kick ball, tennis and more. There’s always something happening at Delaware Park.   If you’ve never been, or haven’t been in awhile, this should be on your list of places to experience.   And it’s fantastic no matter what the season.   Check out these photos from a morning hike at the park in 14” of snow!   It was stunning!

THIS is Buffalo!

How to Edit a Flow

Last updated at:

By editing a flow, you can:

  • Update the name
  • Edit the content of flow messages
  • Update the filters

To edit an existing flow, click on the Flows tab, and then find the name of the flow you would like to edit from the list.

Update the Name of a Flow

For the flow you want to update, click the Edit Flow dropdown menu and select Edit Detaials.

After clicking Edit Details, a modal will pop up. Here, update the name of the flow and, if applicable, the tag as well.

Edit the Content of Your Flow Messages

From the Flows tab, click the name of the flow that you would like to edit. Here, you will see a card for each message (i.e., email or SMS) in the flow. Click on the specific message you would like to change and click Edit.

Learn more about managing messages within a flow.

Update the Trigger and Flow Filters

When you navigate into an existing flow, you can click on the trigger card to review the flow trigger, trigger filters, and flow filters.

Note that after you set the trigger for a flow, you cannot change it. You can, however, update the trigger filters and flow filters at any time. To edit either set of filters, click on the trigger card to open the trigger setup view and click on the filter type you'd like to update. Flow filters are available for all flows, but trigger filters are only available for flows triggered by an event (e.g., Started Checkout).

Flow filters are checked when someone first enters a flow as well as before each step and thus before each message is sent out. Filters useful in two ways:

  • Targeting your flow to a specific audience
  • Setting conditions which cause someone to drop out of the flow

Filters that target or restrict the entire flow to a specific audience are the same as with segmentation. You can choose from the following types of criteria:

  • What someone has done (or not done)
    Check the number of times someone has taken an action in a specific timeframe.
  • Properties about someone
    Check the current value of any property of field on a person's profile.
  • If someone is in or not in a list
    Check if a person is currently a member of a list.
  • Has not been in this flow
    Limit how often someone can be in a flow.
  • Random sample
    Allows testing a flow idea by only sending it to a fraction of your audience.

Capturing Salesforce object changes in real time with Talend ESB - 7.3

Capturing Salesforce object changes in real time with Talend ESB

This article shows how to capture and propagate real time changes happening in Salesforce using Talend ESB.

Salesforce provides on-demand customer relationship management (CRM) software services and many Talend users have chosen Salesforce as their cloud CRM provider.

Some users want to capture real time changes occurring in Salesforce on their CRM data in order to propagate or synchronize those changes on third-party applications. It is somewhat similar to Change Data Capture with Relational Databases, but for Salesforce.

In order to capture and propagate real time changes happening in Salesforce, you need the following technologies:

Outbound Messaging is part of the workflow rule functionality in Salesforce. Workflow rules watch for specific kinds of field changes and trigger automatic Salesforce actions, such as sending an outbound message to external applications.

To understand this article, you need some knowledge of Salesforce and Outbound Messaging, Talend ESB and Mediation routes, Web Services technologies, and Apache ActiveMQ.

This article was written using the commercial version of Talend ESB 6.2 which provides more features than the open source version.

This article is also valid for previous commercial versions of Talend ESB.

  • You have a valid Salesforce account: a free Developer Edition account can be created for testing purposes on the Salesforce website at
  • You have installedTalend Studio 6.2 installed.
  • You have a installed Apache ActiveMQ: ActiveMQ is shipped with the Talend ESB installation. Alternatively, it can be downloaded from the Apache ActiveMQ website.

For more information on the procedure to install and configure both Talend ESB and ActiveMQ, see Talend Help Center.

Architecture of the flow to capture changes

The diagram below shows the architecture for this example:

  1. Salesforce User updates a Salesforce object.
  2. Salesforce sends an outbound message to Talend ESB to notify object update.
  3. Talend ESB persists the notification message in an ActiveMQ queue.
  4. Talend ESB receives acknowledgement of successful persistence in ActiveMQ.
  5. Talend ESB answers with a successful acknowledgement back to Salesforce.

Configuring Salesforce to send changes notifications to Talend

This section explains how to setup Salesforce to send outbound notifications on objects changes.

It focuses on the standard Salesforce Account object, but the procedure remains the same for all other Salesforce standard or custom objects.

  1. Connect to your existing Salesforce account, or create a free Developer Edition account if you do not have one.
  2. Navigate to Build > Create > Workflow & Approvals > Workflow Rules in the left panel.

    Alternatively, you can search for workflow rules in the search area.

    If you do not see or do not have access to this menu, check your account permissions with your Salesforce Administrator.
  3. Click the Workflow Rules menu to open a page where you can manage your organization’s workflow rules.
  4. Click New rule to create a workflow rule which will be triggered every time an account is created or updated in your Salesforce organization.
  5. Select the object on which the workflow rule will apply. In this case, select Account, then click Next.

    This should also work with any other Salesforce standard or custom object.

  6. Configure the workflow rule. Since the workflow must be triggered each time an account is created or updated, configure the rule as follows:
    Field Value
    Rule name UpdateOrCreateAccountRule
    Rule criteria Account name not equal to ""

    Use double quotes in the rule criteria to indicate that Account name should not be empty.

    Since the account name is mandatory for Account objects, the clause Account name not equal to "" should be always true.

  7. Click Save & next to open a page with the rule criteria you defined.
  8. Click Add Workflow Action, then choose New Outbound Message to send a new Outbound Message to Talend ESB.

    This option is used to specify one or more actions to be executed by the workflow when triggered. You have the choice between Immediate Workflow Actions and Time-dependant Workflow Actions. In this case, choose to create an Immediate Worflow Action to send a new outbound message to Talend ESB.

  9. Configure Outbound Message as follows.
    Field Value
    Name Account Outbound Message
    Unique Name This field should be auto-filled. You can also update it by entering a unique name.
    Endpoint URL
    This is the endpoint on which Talend ESB is listening for Salesforce Outbound Messages.
    Note: At this stage, you can put any dummy IP and come back later to replace it with the correct endpoint after the Talend Web Service has been developed and deployed. If your are using an EC2 instance, you need to update your instance security group to allow inbound traffic from Salesforce.
    User to send as Keep the default user.
    Account fields to send Choose any available fields that you want to send along with the outbound message, according to your use case. Good practice would be to send only the ID and the minimum relevant information to keep the notification message as light as possible.
  10. Click Save.
    You should see the following screen.
  11. Click Done, then click Activate on the Workflow Rule Detail page.

    The flag Active is checked, indicating that the workflow is activated.

  12. Navigate to Administer > Security Controls > Remote Site Settings and click Remote Site Settings.

    By default, Salesforce does not authorize outbound traffic towards remote hosts. In order to send outbound messages to Talend ESB, you need to whitelist (authorize) the remote URL of Talend ESB. To do this, you have to add the remote URL information in the whitelisted sites.

  13. Click New Remote Site to add a new remote site and configure it as follows.
    Field Value
    Remote Site Name WsTalendAccountNotificationServer
    Remote Site URL
    This is the Web Service URL with the IP Address of the server hosting the Web Service and the PORT on which the Web Service is listening. It is not mandatory to put the relative path, for example services/account. Choose not to mention the relative path in order to be able to handle multiple Web Services on the same host.
  14. Click Save.

Salesforce is now setup and ready to send notifications to Talend ESB every time an account is created or updated in your Salesforce organization. The next step is to implement the Talend Web Service which will be listening for these notifications coming from Salesforce.

It is important to handle these upcoming notifications in a reliable manner. You must not lose any of these notifications once you receive and acknowledge them, even if a failure or crash occurs on Talend ESB, because Salesforce is not going to send again any acknowledged notification.

Downloading the Salesforce notification WSDL document

This section explains how to download the Salesforce notification WSDL (Web Services Description Language) you need to use to implement the Web Service with Talend.

  1. Navigate to Build > Create > Workflow & Approvals > Workflow Rules and click Workflow Rules in the left menu.
  2. Click the workflow rule UpdateOrCreateAccountRule on the All Workflow Rules page.
    The details of the workflow rule are displayed.
  3. Click Account Outbound Message.
  4. Click Click for WSDL next to the Endpoint WSDL label. This should open a new tab on your browser displaying the WSDL.
  5. Download and save the WSDL file on your computer as workflowOutboundMessage.wsdl for example.

Configuring Talend ESB to listen for and process Salesforce notifications using the Notification WSDL

This section explains how to use Talend ESB to implement the Web Service which will be listening for notifications messages coming from Salesforce.

  1. Download and install Talend ESB and Apache ActiveMQ.
    ActiveMQ is shipped with the Talend ESB installation if you subscribe to the commercial version.
  2. Start ActiveMQ.
    If you are not familiar with it, see Talend Help Center for more information on how to install and start ActiveMQ.
  3. Launch your Talend Studio, then open the Mediation perspective.
    Starting from Talend 6.2, the Mediation and Integration perspectives are merged in Talend Studio. Therefore, you need to open the Integration perspective.
  4. Create a new mediation route named salesforce_account_synchro for example.
  5. Drag and drop the following components to the design workspace: cMQConnectionFactory, cCxf, cExchangePattern, cJms, cSetBody, cLog.

    The route should look like this before you connect the components to each other:

  6. Right-click cCxf, select Row > Route from the contextual menu and click cExchangePattern.
  7. Repeat the previous step to connect cExchangePattern to cJms, cJms to cSetBody and cSetBody to cLog.
  8. Rename the components as follows for more clarity.
    Component Name
    cCxf webservice_salesforce.notifcation.account
    cExchangePattern InOnly
    cJms activemq_salesforce.notification.account
    cSetBody set_webservice_response
    cLog log_response
    cMQConnectionFactory activemq_connection_factory

The route salesforce_account_synchro should now look like this:

How can I do an all-night prayer without sleeping?

Thank you for the interesting question.
To be able to pray all night without sleeping, you need to prepare for it.
There is much I can say here but I will recommend for you our book, Praying With Power, especially chapter 10. It gives you both general practical guidelines as well as suggested programs on how to get started and make progress.
