Shindig Architecture: Java Gadget Server 2 – Servlets

More raw Shindig notes. This time, looking at org.apache.shindig.gadgets.http. See Shindigging tag. I’ll structure them just a little more this time.

Main Servlet – data struct for country/language/locale – The servlet that accepts gadget spec URL and prefs, and outputs the gadget content (typically in an iframe). Delegates heavily to GadgetServer, in order to get a Gadget, and then serialises the Gadget itself with outputGadget(). outputGadget() will output the gadget as either URL or HTML type, depending on the content type. (I expect those output methods will probably be extracted to a seperate class, or to their own strategy classes.)

  1. gadget = servletState.getGadgetServer().processGadget(gadgetId,
  2.           getPrefsFromRequest(req), context.getLocale(),
  3.           RenderingContext.GADGET, options);
  4.       outputGadget(gadget, view, options, contentFilters, resp); extends ProcessingOptions – Allows URL params to override default options, e.g. to allow caller to suppress caching

Javascript Servlet – Outputs Javascript content

Proxy Servlet – Provides implementation for ProxyServlet, which is a thin wrapper around this class Handles Fetch commands for gadgets, i.e. allowing them to get remote content. Delegates everything to ProxyHandler

RpcServlet is a “meta” servlet. Initially I thought it was just for debugging/administering the container, but it plays a more important role as it lets the browser-side gadget container issue a query to find out about the gadgets it’s hosting. (The gadgets are of course in an iframe, so due to security restrictions, it can’t directly inspect the gadget content to find out, for example, its name, which it needs to know in order to show the gadget chrome/wrapper). – Context for JsonRpc stuff. Used by RpcServlet – Meta-model of a Gadget (ie just its defining features – URL and moduleId – and not fields to populate it as in Gadget). Used by RpcServlet – Used by RpcServlet – Used by RpcServlet – Used by RpcServlet – Boring exception class – Provides Gadget meta-info – allows a programmer/tester to get info about the gadget server and list its gadgets. See[email protected]/msg00317.html.

Used by All Servlets – Servlet scoped state (ie instances of the same servlet always get this state object) – – Defines accessors for globals such as the GadgetServer, so that each Gadget can get a handle on them. implements CrossServerState – creates globals such as the GadgetServer (and defines accessors for servlets to access them). Also includes some utility methods for the servlet (which could really go elsewhere).

Misc implements ContentFilter – Caja filter – adaptor/bridge to Caja project, which sanitises JS, intended for inlined gadget.

Shindig Architecture: Java Gadget Classes

This is the first of an open series on the architecture of Shindig, the new open-source gadget/widget framework project. As mentioned here earlier, this project is building something similar to iGoogle, i.e. an environment for serving gadgets, a run-time environment for the gadgets to operate in, and a gadget container (as well as OpenSocial support).

I’m currently digging into Shindig’s architecture and will document my progress.

For the record, there’s not much discussion of Shindig’s architecture to date. The most useful summaries I’ve seen are a couple of notes on the mailing list:

  •[email protected]%3E
  •[email protected]/msg00369.html

Also, be aware that Shindig has server-side implementations in both Java and PHP, and potentially more languages in the future. I’m focusing on Java at this time.

I’ll be tagging each of these articles with “shindigging” (as well as “shindig”, a general tag for anything on this blog about shindig). Thus, you’ll be able to find a full list of articles from

Java Gadget Server

I’ve walked through each file in the Java gadget server, in the main package – org.apache.shindig.gadgets and taken a very raw set of notes on each file / public class, as well as sketched a quick summary of the process. I’ll refine all this later.

Java Gadget Server – Tracing from gadget spec to page content

A gadget server takes an XML file on a server somewhere and converts it to some HTML/JS/etc content inside an iframe. After looking at org.apache.shindig.gadgets, the Java gadget server achieves this task as follows.

  • GadgetServer is invoked from the web app to render a gadget whose spec sits at a URL
  • GadgetServer uses CacheLoadTask to load the _Gadget_ object if possible
  • If not found, GadgetServer uses SpecLoadTask, which uses RemoteContentFetcher, to grab the Spec.
  • GadgetSpecParser converts the XML string into a GadgetSpec, which is a Java representation of the XML spec.
  • Gadget constructs itself from a combination of the GadgetSpec and the preferences.
  • GadgetServer passes Gadget to each required GadgetFeature (going by the required features declared in the spec). These GadgetFeature objects perform some kind of transformation on the Gadget – typically they add one of more JS libs to it (a gadget has a list of JS libs).
  • At this point, classes in the http package kick in to render the Gadget object, of which more in a different blog post.

Java Gadget Server – Files / Classes in org.apache.shindig.gadgets (raw notes) – [part of GadgetServerConfig] dumb implementation of GadgetBlacklist – file based – dumb implementation of GadgetDataCache – Just a hashmap – dumb implementation of GadgetSigner “Provides dummmy data to satisfy tests and API calls” – dumb (String) implementation of GadgetToken – server-side remoting proxy implements GadgetFeatureFactory – Bidirectional language support (i18n). Performs “hangman” substitutions (MSG_foo). Builds up a Substitutions and executes it. – It’s a gadget! This object is created from a GadgetSpec and ultimately serialised to a string representing the HTML/JS/etc content that sits on the page. Prior to serialisation, the object is subject to a set of transformations, one for each GadgetFeature it requires. interface – [part of GadgetServerConfig] persists blacklist and lets you query if a given URL is blacklist interface – String->String filter interface to transform the HTML/JS/etc widget content for the browser, e.g. for Caja sanitisation – This object is passed to each GadgetFeature in the processing sequence to tell it what’s going on and help modify its behaviour, since it contains info about gadget server options – ProcessingOptions – as well as Locale, RenderingContext and ServerConfig. – [part of GadgetServerConfig] Cache interface. Simply a map from string ID -> Type T. – Exception base class – Transforms a Gadget so it will implement a particular feature. prepare() on initial call and void process(Gadget) later on. TODO more – Simply an interface to create Gadgets “GadgetFeature create()” – [part of GadgetServerConfig] A map of gadget features in this gadget server. Essentially Gadget ID string -> {feature object, other features it depends on}

  • Includes processGadget(), which is called by gadget servlet. GadgetID [ie gadget URL] -> Gadget object ready for rendering
  • processGadget() adds a sequence of task objects (commands) and executes them:
    • CacheLoadTask – load gadget from cache instead of fetching/constructing it
    • SpecLoadTask – load gadget from remote URL (using low-level class, RemoteContentFetcher)
    • EnqueueFeaturesTask – popalate Gadget’s list of required gadget feature objects
  • Uses a workflow process: Works iteratively – each cycle, it works out which tasks need to be performed. Keeps iterating until all tasks completed or no new tasks can be added. Meanwhile, accumulates all gadget exceptions for all iterations so they can be bundled together in a big exception option that’s thrown if any exceptions occurred. [Note: I’m not sure why this complicated workflow algorithm is required, when afaict only 3 task objects are present. Maybe more will be added later on.] Configuration options for the gadget server. Composed of java.util.concurrent.Executor, FeatureRegistry, GadgetDataCache, MessageBundleCache, RemoteContentFetcher, GadgetBlacklist, SyndicatorConfig Nothing much right now. You’d think it parses a config file or something, but it just ~replicates GadgetServerConfig interface – defines interface for mapping token ID string -> GadgetToken – Dumb data structure encapsulating the spec (xml) ie user prefs, required features, gadget URI, HTML content data, random info-garbles (author etc.) – String xml -> GadgetSpec.

  1. GadgetSpecParser specParser = new GadgetSpecParser();
  2.       GadgetSpec spec = specParser.parse(gadgetId, xml.getResponseAsString());
  3.       wc.gadget = new Gadget(gadgetId, spec, prefs);
  4.       (ie xml file becomes spec, spec becomes gadget) – Effectively a token string, with a method to sign URLs interface – An immutable view of the gadget – Goes into a directory and recursively finds all files matching “feature.xml” Reads each file into a GadgetFeatureRegistry.Entry and registers it into registry (e.g. feature.containerJs.add(JsLibrary) (remember a GadgetFeature modifies the gadget in some way. In the case of a JsFeature (defined in JsLibraryFeatureFactory), the modification is simply to add some JS libraries) [jsLibraries is part of Gadget] – Represents a JS library – holds its source u.g. URL/file) and capable of reading it to get a string of the JS. The source may be a string representing the JS itself, which is useful if the client simply wants to construct the script text programatically. implements GadgetFeatureFactory – Provides GadgetFeatures in the case where the gadget feature is simply a JS file (or a list of container JS files and a list of gadget JS files). In this case, the feature’s process() method is simply to add all the libraries to the gadget (gadget.addJsLibrary). JsFeatureLoader uses this after trawling through to find the feature.xml for each gadget, since that file simply identifies a bunch of JS libraries. [part of GadgetServerConfig] String ID -> Message map. XML file -> MessageBundle implements GadgetFeatureFactory – Provides MessageBundleSubstituterFeature. This feature is a Javascript library that “compiles” the MessageBundle to Javascript, for a particular locale. It sets up language and country preference (String setLangFmt = "gadgets.prefs_.setLanguage(%d, "%s");"; String setCountryFmt = "gadgets.prefs_.setCountry(%d, "%s");";), and then sets up, for each message, the JS mapping from ID -> Message ( String setMsgFmt = "gadgets.prefs_.setMsg(%d, %s);" ); – Includes ModuleSubstituterFeature which simply replaces MODULE hangman string with the module ID. – Provides OpenSocialFeature – Tweaks GadgetServer.processGadget algorithm (methinks this seems like a weird pattern – should instead be attributes of GadgetServer). – Encapsulates results of HTTP call – the content as well as status code, size, etc. [part of GadgetServerConfig] – HTTP client to grab gadget spec (nb IMO too much BDUF abstraction going on here) – Encapsulates request for HTTP call – headers etc. – enum { GADGET | CONTAINER } – boring exception class [part of Gadget] – A collection of Substitutions – each Gadget has a Substitutions object, which it uses for get() queries, e.g. “public String getTitle() { return substitutions.substitute(baseSpec.getTitle()); }”. * Several substitution types MSG BIDI UP(user-prefs) MODULE * A map for each substitution type, mapping substitution key -> substitution string * Runs the sequence of substitutions on a given string [part of GadgetServerConfig] Unclear – related to OpenSocial and JSON. [part of Gadget] – Builds up JSON object with preference values, using Substitutions to perform any substitutions (???) – preference ID -> string (value of preference)

I created Something Sweet & Sassy so I could share with everyone the gifts I had been making for my friends and family.

I started making presents because I was tired of wasting my time at the mall trying to find the perfect gift for the fabulous people in my life. They deserved better – they deserved something made especially for them by someone who really cared.

I also began creating handmade gifts out of material in the hopes my wine bags and gift bags would be passed on to others — making gift giving more sustainable. I try to use all recycled / gently used fabric like dresses or men’s shirts from yard sales and fabric from flea markets.

I was lucky to inherit a room full of crafting supplies from my husband’s grandmother. I’m still making baby blankets, bears and bags!

I began by making cards for my clients when I was in sales. I wanted to show my personal appreciation for their business. So I started stamping and card making. That evolved into re-making my antique jewelry into funky and original pieces. Then came napkin rings and wine bags. Then, wonder of wonders, I decided make all the thank-you gifts for my wedding – including the save the dates, rehearsal invitations and placecards.

They were a hit.

So I continued brushing up on my sewing and creating aprons, wine bags and gift bags, baby blankets and bibs. My lovely god-daughter, niece and nephew, are my best inspirations – I love dreaming up new gifts for them.

Here are the fruits of my efforts. Stay tuned…and enjoy the experience.

If you want to know more about me…I’m the Sassy Assassin of SEO & Social Media and The Rohans by day…including Comics, Workshops & Spy Stuff. I’m Something Sweet & Sassy by night…if you want to find me, I’m probably hosting Happy Hour or preparing to be Mayor someday. I’ll shoult you a cuppa if you tell me your story…

Countdown To Heart Beach A Blissful Relief

Tassie heartthrobs Heart Beach are sharing the love around. They are handing out this 7", Counting/Relief, through Rough Skies Records on Tuesday (pre-order it here). It is quintessential HB - an ebullient amble underscored ('Counting') by a shadow of restraint (Relief'). The clarity of this production though - there is so much echo on the drums on the latter track, the vocals feel like they are ensconced in a velvet cavern, the bass is succulent, the guitar tremors seductively - seriously, everything is in its right place. The second release to have the Neil Thomason touch (he also recorded the half/cut record Ecco Locale coming out soon), and with Mikey Young's Midas touch (possibly more in tune with his Lace Curtain productions), this two-track wonder is one of the best-sounding releases to hit my ears for some time. The trio may say they "don't want to be here anymore" in 'Relief' (sung with a wonderful round-vowel Aussie accent - how I miss thee) - but I want to stay on Heart Beach forever.

Video Vacuum - The Body, Velcro Hooks, Giggly Boys, Noveller

I'm struggling. I've been putting off super important work for the past two weeks - and now I am neck deep in it. So while I should continue to knuckle down and just get the job done,

Need your mind scoured? You could always do worse than to embrace The Body. 'The Fall and the Guilt' is one of those noise wormholes that would be considered a pop noir ballad in a different universe - and the film clip, of a couple caressing and kissing each other, complements this idea...except for the constant ambient noise humming underneath, the dip into existential terror at the flip of a pedal, the white static flickering underneath, a constant reminder that this is no erotic high, but a psychological haunt.

Let's stay off-kilter and aggressive. Bristol bastards Velcro Hooks have crafted this video for 'Chinchilla Woman' as they prepare to build their debut LP from the blocks up. The film clip sees two of the band sitting in the street, before sauntering off to knock on a door and take a verbal spray from the woman who answers it. They then saunter off down the street, the scurrilous cheeks. And that's it.

Giggly Boys are rough and ready to explode on 'Darker Shade of Pale', a film clip that shows the band in a container, strobe lights and ultraviolets highlighting a heroin addict's idea of a nightmare gig. It also highlights how bracingly visceral and explosive these guys are - and how everyone needs to be launching themselves into their depraved camp.

With all the angst, let's cool down a bit. Noveller has had two of her earlier albums, Glacial Glow and No Dreams, reissued, and she has released a video for a track from the former.  The neon-lit paint shifting and squirming over people as they walk through a forest, the trees and water lighting up as they come into contact, is the perfect accompaniment to these celestial guitar tapestries.

Now get back to work!

Rauris Valley

Rauris, Wörth, Bucheben

The valley of Rauris, with its five side valleys, stretches for 30 kilometers with its many unique features. In this picturesque setting lies the Hotel Sonnhof Rauris ***.

Rauris “Golden Age”

Rauris lies in the embrace of the Alps, 950 meters above sea level, with approximately 3.000 inhabitants. The approximately 30-kilometer long Rauris Valley in the Middle Ages was a stopping place for commercial routes connecting Central Europe with the Italian provinces. In the 14-19 centuries rich gold deposits were operating in the area. It is attested by the stone houses of that time and the gold panning areas built for the tourists.

Leisure in Rauris

The Rauris Valley is surrounded by mountain peaks over 3.000 meters tall, and it is no wonder that during winter and summer it becomes a paradise for tourists. From Hotel Sonnhof, you can also walk to the 30 km long ski slope, and in summer you can choose from several walking, hiking or biking trails. The highly visited Bernkogel peak (2.352 m), starting from the hotel, can be reached in 4-5 hours. With our tour guides you can get to the top of Hoher Sonnblick (3.106 m) at the end of the valley to see the highest meteorological station in Europe! In addition, from nordic walking to horse riding and various extreme sports, you can try dozens of other activities in the winter and in the summer. Get directions from Hotel Sonnhof’s experienced, well-informed tour guides and ski instructors!

Everyone can try their luck in one of the remaining gold panning spots:

– Hüttwinkltal:

the history of the gold mining and the end of the valley Kolm Saigurn, located at the foot of the Hoher Sonnblick (3.106 m).

– Seidlwinkltal:

 “Valley of pilgrims”: 500 year old Tauern house. It runs through Seidlwinkl through the annual Glockner pilgrimage through Hochtor to the Großglockner Hochalpenstraße in Heiligenblut.

–  Krumltal:

“Eagle Valley”In 1986 this valley was chosen to repopulate the bearded eagle. Since then we have been able to admire in these places not only the glacier, but also the eagle, the European eagle, the mountain eagle and many wild animal species in their natural habitat.

–  Forsterbachtal and Gaisbachtal:

Simple. Real. Holidays in the wilderness of the Rauris Valley. – “Valley of Springs”: thanks to this project, 60 springs from 300 natural springs were made available to visitors, thus illustrating the watercourses of the Rauris Valley. Sights: Ancient spring of Rauris at the Bodenhaus (Boden House), waterfalls in Kolm Saigurn and Kriml, water information route at Seidlwinkl, a water playground at Summererpark.

Goldberg mountain range – Hocharn

– 3.254 m and Hoher Sonnblick – 3.106 m. On the peak of Sonnblick can be found the highest meteorological station in Europe from the last 128 years. The group has received its name from the gold mining, which has been operating here for over a century.

Places to visit

38 “Almhütte” / Alpine hut and “Jausen- station” near the hotel (in the summer season) – 6 of which are certified “SalzburgerLand Almsommer-Hütte”.

  •  –  Kolm Saigurn: One of the most beautiful valley trails in the Hohe Tauern National Park. During winter: snowshoe hikes, ski tours, ice climbing. During summer: hiking, mountain climbing.

  • –  Rauris old-growth forest: With over 80 dark moors, huge spruces, mosses and romantic meadows, the Rauris old-growth forest is an intact area, a true natural treasure in Kolm Saigurn.
  • –  Rauris springs: The idyllic spring paradise is only 30 minutes walk away from Bodenhaus. It’s ideal to collect strength during your trip, and take a sip of fresh Rauris water directly from the source.
  • –  The Valley Museum: Interesting things about historical gold mining by Ignaz Rojacher. Exhibition objects from the Rauris valley, mineral hall.
  • –  „King of the air” National Park House: Here you can find useful information about the stunning predatory birds such as the bearded eagle, griffon vulture and the golden eagle, which can be observed in Krummel in Rauris during summer.

  • –  Zimmererhütte: National Park Informational Center in Kolm Saigurn, during summer. Theme: gold mining, minerals, National Park
  • –  Alpine hunting ground in Bucheben: open all year round

The Rauris Valley is the largest settlement in the Hohe Tauern National Park, which is more than 1.800 km2 wide, the largest nature reserve in the whole eastern Alps and Austria’s first National Park. “The Golden Valley of the Alps” is often referred to as the “hidden jewel” of the National Park. Thus, all that can be discovered in the National Park can be found in the Rauris Valley: cultural history, such as gold mining in Hüttwinkltal, the bearded eagle, griffon vulture, the golden eagle and other wild animals in Krumltal, or mineral treasures, fresh alpine air and captivating glaciers. The Rauris Valley provides a true experience of trips and hikes. In the Rauris Valley, they always maintained a special relationship with nature. This way visitors can admire many of the original natural beauty away from mass tourism.

– Trips, hikes and mountain climbing: 295 km of hiking trails at all levels of difficulty, approximately 35 km of themed trails and educational trails in the Rauris Valley.

  • – 38 “Almhütte” / Alpine hut and “Jausen- station”
  • – 80 km of bicycle and mountain bike routes

Summer programs:

– Gold panning in 3 spots close to the hotel: at the Bodenhaus (Hüttwinkltal), an indoor spot at the Sportalm, and Hochalm. In 2015, the Austrian Gold Panning Championship was held in Rauris on July 10-12.

–  The Hochalmbahnen in Rauris (Hochalm cable car) will take you up 1.800 meters to the Hochalm in a few minutes. The Hochalmbahnen in Rauris is one of Austria’s finest mountain huts.

Summer opening hours 2015:

  • May 24 – July 2: sunday, tuesday, thursday
  • July 5 – September 13: every day
  • September 15 – October 4: sunday, tuesday, thursday
  • Time of travel: 9:00 – 12:00, 13:00 – 16:30

Baking on the Kalchkendlalm: Roswitha Huber holds twice a week bread baking courses in Kalchkendlalm near the hotel.

–  Herbal Plants Tour: Margot Langreiter “herb witch” leads you through these tours informing you about the preparation of herbal teas, creams, and their benefits.

–  Rauris “gourmet and local products market”: June 25 – September 10, every Thursday in the main square (Marktplatz), the “gourmet and local products market” in Rauris takes place, where traditional products are served to the visitors such as sheepskin, wool, jewelry, felt products, straw hats and more.

My Top 5 Interior Design Trends for 2017

My Top 5 Interior Design Trends for 2017

I’m excited for the year ahead and have been reading lots about the upcoming interior design trends for 2017 and wanted to tell you about my favourites! So read on to find out what will be in fashion this year in the world of interiors with my top 5.

Interior Design Trends for 2017

We all need inspiration when it comes to interior design. For me it comes from everywhere, nature, designer materials, fashion trends and of course the seasons.

1. Tropical Prints

Botanical and tropical prints were popular last Spring and they are going to continue to be popular well into 2017.

Interior design trends often get their inspiration from the fashion runways and in 2016 Marc Jacobs, Prada, and Emanuel Ungaro all played with tropical prints. These prints will mostly be seen on wallpapers and fabrics used for curtains, blinds and cushions. I certainly look forward to working with tropical and botanical prints!

I love this lined Roman blind we created with Sanderson fabric.

2. Green

The 2017 Pantone Colour of the Year is ‘Greenery’ and its a lovely bright and cheery shade of green.

Other shades of green will be on-trend this year too, you can use a shade of green on all wall or as a cushion or a rug. Adding this year’s ‘in’ colour as an accessory will mean you can easily change it later on when you want to update to the next on-trend colour.

3. Natural Materials

2017 is set to be dominated by different textures and materials such as marble, wood, cork, clay and other natural materials. Faux materials will be just as acceptable as the real deal this year so you don’t need to break the bank with real marble.

There are many benefits to faux materials, for example engineered quartz and withstand heat and foods that are high in acid, better than real marble.

Young Huh, named one of Vogue’s five young interior designers on the rise in 2015, predicts that marble and also brass will be huge in 2017. “We’re going to see this trend in both kitchens and baths,” Huh predicts. “It’s that combination of something very natural and clean, like white marble, and something industrial, hard, and a little bit glamorous with the brass.”

So also look out for metals to still be everywhere this year. As well as brass we will be sure to see copper and gold.

4. Velvet & Comforting Fabrics

Velvet looks set to be huge in 2017 with it being incorporated into all manners of interior fabrics, such as sofas, cushions and even curtains. It’s part of the bigger trend in interiors for comfort from the world and the Danish concept of ‘Hygge’.

Due to this concept that’s burst into our consciousness, soft and cosy fabrics from 2016 will continue into 2017. So snuggle up to your faux furs and enjoy your time relaxing at home.

5. Greys & Blues

Dulux’s ‘colour of the year palette’ for 2017 is made up of greys and blues. Their colour of the year is called ‘Denim Drift’. Here’s what Dulux said about their colour of the year and their colour of the year palette, “a beautiful, timeless and versatile grey-blue that takes on a different characteristic depending on how it’s used, perfectly capturing the mood of the moment and embodying our lives for 2017. The accompanying palette of tonal blue shades creates a truly accessible range that can be easily translated into architecture and interior decorating.”

Dulux also, like others, predict greens and tropical prints will be big this year.

The interior design trends for 2017 will certainly make this a fun year with lots of fun, cosy and colourful fabrics to work with to make my clients homes beautiful and relaxing places to live. I want to take this opportunity to wish all my readers a wonderful 2017!

Cabbages and Roses Fabric Stockist

Cabbages and Roses Fabric Stockist

Hello my lovely followers, how have you all been? Hope everyone is having a fantastic week!!

I am so excited as I have just received my gorgeous Cabbage and Rose fabric Book which now makes me an official stockist of this wonderful British company. Cabbage and Rose has been trading for 4 years and I was drawn to them as they produce some fabulous patterned fabrics.

Their new colour collection is keeping on-trend with their quirky, vintage inspired patterns. I am personally drawn to the stripes fabrics, they are so versatile and they can go in any room in your house, which is a wonderful investment and a long term gain.

Just some history on Cabbage and Roses fabric company; they were established in 2000 by the wonderful Christina Strutt who set up a mail order business from her wonderful kitchen, where the original bees fabric was created and it went from strength to strength, or should I say from fabric to fabric to even more wonderfully fabulous fabric.

Their new collection they have designed will be an absolute must for your homes in 2015.

If you are interested in seeing some of the fabrics in the ‘flesh’ then feel free to contact me and look at my look book, I don’t just have the new collection I have all of them, so you can decide what one will suit your home, I can also come to your home too and offer some interior design advice.

I have more fabric collections to announce over the up and coming weeks, so keep an eye out.

For now have a wonderful weekend everyone, I will be back soon.

Press release

Fashion Designer Alexstorm Liu Collaborates with DuPont™ Sorona® to Create Innovative Collection for Shenzhen Fashion Week

March 29 2018
Fashion Designer Alexstorm Liu Collaborates with DuPont™ Sorona® to Create Innovative Collection for Shenzhen Fashion Week

Shenzhen, China, March 29, 2018 – The new DuPont™ Sorona® & ALEXSTORM collection premiered at the Shenzhen Fashion Week. The show – attended by over 1,000 people and broadcast live to even more – highlighted the Sorona® & ALEXSTORM fashion collection, in collaboration with the renowned Chinese fashion designer Alexstorm Liu. Shenzhen Baliso Group, a key mill partner to Sorona®, co-sponsored the event and showcased their latest Sorona® fabrics in the designs.

Shenzhen Fashion Week

Shenzhen Fashion Week took place from March 13-19 and included over 80 fashion shows and exhibitions from 200 designers. Shenzhen’s new Museum of Contemporary Art and Urban Planning hosted the event, providing a beautiful backdrop to Alexstorm Liu’s collection, featuring fabrics made with DuPont™ Sorona®.

“Shenzhen Fashion Week presented us with an excellent opportunity to showcase our collaboration between Sorona®, ALEXSTORM and Baliso,” said Rene Molina, product manager for DuPont Industrial Biosciences. “I spoke to many designers, brands and mills at the show who were excited and eager to learn more about Sorona®, and we were thrilled to be able to showcase its properties and the variety of applications on the runway here in Shenzen.”

“It makes all the difference to be able to work with such skilled and forward-looking partners, showing other decision-makers in the apparel market the versatility and high-level performance of this renewably sourced fiber,” he added.

DuPont™ Sorona® & ALEXSTORM

ALEXSTORM’s inspiration for this fashion show was ‘Beyond Beauty,’ echoing Shenzhen Fashion Week’s overarching themes: the integration of art and life and the integration of sustainability and technology.

ALEXSTORM’s collection highlighted four applications of fabrics using Sorona®:

1) Shape memory jackets, offering natural wrinkle release

2) Comfort stretch dresses and pants, featuring lasting shape retention

3) Linen/Sorona® blend shirting, with a soft hand-feel, reduced wrinkling and greater comfort

4) Insulated jackets as a down alternative

These four versatile applications were made possible by the unique high-performance characteristics of bio-based Sorona®, enabling almost unlimited design freedom in the collection.

Sustainability of Sorona® Injects Vitality into Fashionable Wear

To echo Professor Dilys Williams – director, Center of Sustainable Fashion & Sustainable Fashion Design, University of the Arts London, and a leading expert in the apparel market – “Sustainability is not a trend, but the top priority for the industry.”

“The global awareness around the need for sustainable fashion is growing, pushing the fashion industry to accelerate its progress toward more sustainable apparel. From the launch of used garment recycling, to the increasing introduction of natural and environmental product lines, to the emergence of independent designers who cherish a pursuit of sustainability, the industry is brimming with renewed energy,” said Molina. “DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer creates high-performance fibers, with its key building block derived from annually renewable plant-based resources. Its versatility lends itself to a broad array of apparel applications, as witnessed on the Shenzen Fashion Week runway.”

Business Continuity Planning

All organisations must prepare themselves to deal with the wide of range of threats which they face. Many of these can be identified but some cannot. However, if you build your organisation to be resilient then you will be able to respond effectively even to those unforeseen challenges. Our consultants can help you to prepare.

Business Continuity Planning

Every year nearly one in five businesses suffers a major disruption. Planning to deal with these disruptions can only be regarded as good business practice.

BCP is all about surviving the immediate and initial stages of any incident, which disrupts the functioning of the business. Normally, the larger the incident, the more business critical is the risk. The secret is to have a tried and tested plan that enables you to respond immediately to the incident, control it, manage it and enable your business to continue operating.

A BCP plan is critical, as is the team that will implement and manage the plan. The plan and the team must be created, implemented, tried and tested now. Wait for the incident to happen and the business may not survive.

We will work with your management team to:

  • Analyse your business
  • Assess the risks
  • Develop your strategy
  • Develop your plan

Crisis Management Planning

All organisations should ensure they have a well structured crisis management and incident response plan. This will ensure that the organisation presents a seamless and professional response which handles the incident effectively but also communicates the correct impression to the media. This will cover incidents such as:

  • Systems failure
  • Terrorist incidents
  • Product recall
  • Kidnap and ransom

Evacuation Planning

We have extensive experience of developing evacuation plans for organisations who have employees and their dependents in locations where evacuation may become necessary, whatever the reason. Our consultants will provide, proportionate plans that allow for either a graded response or an immediate evacuation dependent on the situation.

We can also deploy experienced consultants to assist and support local management and the crisis management team.

Exercising and training

We develop specific, realistic scenarios to train and exercise the Crisis Management and Business Continuity teams.

Incident Support

In the event of an incident we can deploy an experienced team to provide practical support in terms of advice, information and relevant services

Anne Grant

Mr. Molleson, "On Mrs. Grant of Laggan's Manuscript Poems" Edinburgh Magazine or Literary Miscellany NS 17 (February 1801) 228-29.

Soft sounds the dulcet lyre of Laggan's muse,
Warbling of Nature's beauties from her cot;
Who can poetic garlands e'er refuse,
To such a sweetly-breathing note?

Expands thy soul, at rural scenes sublime?
At Mountains blue, and wildly gushing streams?
Or mansions, mould'ring by the lapse of time,
Illumin'd by the sun's departing beams?

Here sounds a string accordant to the theme;
And here, another sounds to social joy—
To humour, glancing like a flashing beam—
To scenes domestic, that can never cloy.

Thus Cona's voice would sing of nature wild,
Of blasted heaths, and ocean's sullen roar;
Then tune his varying harp to virtues mild,
To love and pity — when the wars were o'er.

Lov'st thou a draught from Heliconian spring?
To woo the muse, Illisus vale along?
Here flow some rills that classic sweetness bring,
Here Tempe's vale looks ever "green in song."

Hast thou a heart attun'd to friendship's lays?
A heart that grateful swells, when friends are kind?
Then gladly hear the note of pleasing praise,
And let it charm thy ear and raptur'd mind.

Blest Boreas! repress your piercing pow'rs!
Touch not the tuneful songstress' hallow'd roof!
And Macedonian like, 'mid Theban tow'rs,
From genius' dwelling keep your bands aloof!

Warm be th' abode of northern Laggan's muse!
Peace be to her who sings so sweet a lay!
Let social joy, and all a mother's dues,
Cheer and enlighten her domestic day!

    " It was started from light conversation shared between me and my friend, Yola. As usual, we were discussing about kids, food, etc. My son's Jojo has allergic which makes him experiencing runny nose all day, it stops for 1-2 weeks, and it comes again. I'm starting to feel depressed and upset bringing Jojo to doctor, feed him with medicines when the runny nose made him sick. My friend told me about her son, Nathan, used to be like that. It has stopped since he joined tennis. A lot of thoughts came through my mind, what if Jo don't want to wake up or becomes cranky or don't want to move at all. Amazingly, Jojo enjoyed his lesson so much, he likes private lesson better, and he woke up early without any drama between us. During Christmas holiday, he kept asking me to bring him to tennis lesson. His health has improved a lot since he joined tennis. He has better concentration, focus, confidence in his study. We used to be caught in a long exhausting drama whenever its time to do homework, study, piano, anything. For the past few months, he has been studying by himself, and he has no more runny nose and cough bothering him. Hence, he has improved his appetite, and eat a lot more, it was done without drama between us. I hope my sharing can help other kids experiencing "never ending runny nose". "

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — In the closing seconds of a tie game, Gonzaga guard Josh Perkins dribbled out high looking for somewhere to pass the ball.

He spotted Rui Hachimura near the free throw line.

“They left Rui open where he is automatic,” Perkins said.

Hachimura sank a turnaround jumper with 0.6 seconds left, lifting the top-ranked Bulldogs to an 81-79 victory over in-state rival Washington on Wednesday night.

Hachimura had 26 points for Gonzaga (9-0), which has won 12 of its past 13 games against the Huskies.

“We wanted Rui to take that shot in that situation,” teammate Zach Norvell Jr. said. “He shoots that shot a lot.”

Washington missed a halfcourt try as the final buzzer sounded.

Norvell finished with 14 points, Corey Kispert added 13 and Brandon Clarke had 10 points and 11 rebounds for Gonzaga, which struggled against Washington’s zone defense.

“It’s a handful,” Zags coach Mark Few said. “They adjust really well.”

RELATED: 11 reasons why Gonzaga’s Cinderella status is ancient history

Jaylen Nowell scored 26 for Washington (6-3), which was in the preseason Top 25 before losing at No. 8 Auburn. Matisse Thybulle added 18 points.

“We did a good job in the second half slowing the game down and finding the open man on offense,” Washington coach Mike Hopkins said. “We showed a lot of heart and a lot of toughness.”

The Bulldogs were held well below their season average of 98 points per game, which ranked second in the nation.

RELATED: One unusual fact about all 11 remaining unbeaten college basketball teams

Hachimura, a junior from Japan who leads the team in scoring, had 18 points as Gonzaga took a 40-30 halftime lead.

Washington shot just 39 percent in the first period, while Gonzaga shot 41 percent and sank all 10 of its free throws.

Washington opened the second half with a 12-2 run, and Nowell’s 3-pointer tied the score at 42. Nowell followed with another 3 for a 45-42 lead, as Gonzaga made just one of its first 11 shots in the second.

Gonzaga replied with a 7-0 run for a 49-45 advantage.

The teams traded a flurry of baskets, and a pair by Clarke gave Gonzaga a 65-58 lead.

Nowell’s basket cut it to 79-75 with a minute left, and Thybulle’s bucket trimmed the deficit to two.

Nowell went to the free throw line with 9.4 seconds left and sank two to tie the score at 79, setting the stage for Hachimura’s dramatic shot.

Washington outscored the Zags 49-41 in the second half.

“We probably didn’t get enough stops at the end,” Norvell said.

A clutch win over a good team should benefit the Zags.

Gonzaga was 19 of 19 from the free throw line, while Washington went 14 of 15.

MORE: College basketball’s best free throw shooting teams this century

Gonzaga shot only 42.9 percent from the field, while Washington made 47.5 percent in a rugged game.

Washington: The Huskies held their previous six opponents under 70 points. … Thybulle was the only player in the nation averaging at least 2.5 blocks and 2.8 steals per game. … Noah Dickerson averaged 20 points in his previous four games. … The Huskies were averaging seven blocks per game, but got only three in this game.

Gonzaga: The Zags are 36-18 against members of the Pac-12 under Few. … Gonzaga entered with four starters averaging in double figures, and two more scoring better than eight points per game.

Washington hosts crosstown rival Seattle on Sunday.

Gonzaga gets a major test when it plays No. 7 Tennessee in Phoenix on Sunday.

Columbia College alumna gets Grammy nod

Torres and her husband

Gwynn Levy Torres and husband record funky, Gulf-themed children’s CD.

Gwynn Levy Torres ’74 and her husband, Sid Berger, have been nominated for a Grammy for their funky children’s CD, GulfAlive. Writing and performing as The Banana Plant, Torres and Berger were one of five nominees for Best Children's Album selected from a field of more than 100 entries that included artists like Amanda Plummer and John Lithgow.

The Grammys take place at 8 p.m. Eastern Time Sunday, Feb. 12, and will air live on CBS.

The album’s 10 New Orleans funk, Cajun waltz, island rhythm and gospel songs include “Everything Starts with Plankton,” “The Crab Song,” “Albért Alligator,” “The Ibis, the Egret and the Heron ” and “Little Creatures.” You can hear clips of all the songs or order at

Complementing the CD is a coloring book by New Orleans artist Gus D. Levy, Torres’ father. The illustrations reflect the subject matter of the songs with jumping dolphins, flying seagulls, pesky alligators, proud pelicans and more. There’s also a video of the Cajun-style song “No Walruses in the Gulf” on YouTube and on The Banana Plant site.

“By making this project multi-dimensional, we hope kids and adults will have an opportunity to truly engage in the sound and diversity of this area,” says Torres.

Torres says a win will be a tough challenge because “We're as independent as it gets, with no record companies or publicists behind us, and we’re up against two compilation albums that have lots of voting members and record labels attached … we’re just thrilled and honored to be nominees, and are looking forward to this incredible opportunity to network as songwriters.”

Torres, who says she has written music since age 9, says the CD was a true labor of love – musically and ecologically.

“I took some piano and guitar lessons as a child, was inspired by the Beatles, Carole King and James Taylor to learn how to write and play music – so I learned more from doing. I’ve written music since the age of 9, and performed in coffee houses and with church groups as a teenager.

“At Columbia College, I performed in The Hungry Ear Coffeehouse, which was in the basement of one of the dorms (sorry, can’t remember which one!)

Gulf Alive album cover
“As an adult, I worked as a copywriter, producer and creative director in the advertising world, so got a lot of opportunities to write jingle lyrics, come up with hooks, etc., while continuing to write music on the side. My husband and partner, Sid Berger, is also a copywriter, producer and creative director who owned his own ad agency for a number of years. He minored in music in college and worked his way through graduate school playing saxophone/piano in a local band. He used to write music for Allen Toussaint’s Sea-Saint Recording Studio, with a few songs cut by Johnny Adams and Robert Parker. With Toussaint, he produced a New Orleans version of “We are the World” in 1985 called “Give Today for Tomorrow,” for New Orleans Artists Against Hunger and Homelessness, an organization he helped to found with Toussaint and Aaron Neville. The record featured The Neville Brothers, Irma Thomas, Frogman Henry and many more artists. Jimmy Buffet performed with the whole group in a live performance of the song.

“We are passionate songwriters.

“And we’re passionate about the Gulf Region. We both grew up in New Orleans and raised our families here. It’s a very special place with a culture unlike anywhere else in the world. But Katrina and the BP oil spill were major blows that will require many, many years (and dollars) in recovery. Both of these calamities caused major destruction to the natural wetlands that line our coasts and protect our cities, towns and animal habitats.

“After Katrina, we all heard people say. ‘Why save this city?’ You just have to visit to understand the value of this hotbed of music, spice and history. I love living in a place where egrets show up on your front lawn, pelicans fly overhead, fat green lizards skitter up the fence, everything stays green all year long ... and practically everywhere you go, you can listen to some of the greatest music you’ve ever heard, whether it’s jazz, funk or Cajun … Oh, and the food is fantastic.

“We’re all about making sure everybody knows why the Gulf Region is worth restoring.”

A portion of the CD’s proceeds benefits Gulf Coast restoration.

The Coffeehouse she refers to was actually in the St. Clair basement (at least 3rd floor St. Clair was a dorm when I first arrived, so it may be what she was thinking of) – back then in 1980, anyway – the coffeehouse, the bookstore, the mailboxes were all in the basement of St. Clair.

It was so cool!

Jingles said...

Inspiring snippet. I happen to write jingles and do some of the other stuff mentioned about the Torres'. It gives me something to shoot for beyond music of ads only. This kind of reminds of Barry Manilow - how he started writing jingles and eventually... well you know the rest. Keep it up guys!

Only a few are difficult to see. However, they are in 2-dimensions and they don't show you HOW to do the thing, they only show you the general area and the part you want to manipulate. The phrasing in the instructions can be hard to follow without a good visual reference unless you're already a master bike mechanic (which you aren't if you're thinking about buying this). So, buy this for general reference and rely on Youtube for video. The two together are better than either one alone.
Don’t rely on others. “People need to recognize that now there are different cassette sizes, so there are different chains depending on what gear you have. A lot of people are like, ‘Oh my friend is always prepared they always have the stuff, I’m not going to bring anything.’ All of the stuff now is very bike-specific, and you have to have your own package of stuff.”
Patch kit:   Patch kits are easy to use, light and compact, and if you get more than one flat on a ride (it happens more than you’d expect), it can save you when you’ve already used your spare tube.   Plus, on a rear wheel, patching a tube can be faster than replacing it, as you can often do this without removing the wheel at all.  Another upcoming post is going to show you how to patch a tube.
We spoke to a broad spectrum of cyclists—from a pro racer to a bike messenger turned mechanic to a touring cyclist who has logged thousands of miles throughout Europe—to find out what items they find indispensable. We sorted through 40 tire levers, almost 30 different kinds of patches, 120 different hand pumps, and 57 seat bags before we narrowed our choices for testing. And then we changed and patched tires more than 50 times, using four different bikes, five different wheels, six different tires, and almost 10 different sizes of tubes. After 96 hours of combined testing, we agree these essentials are some of the best you can buy.
As you mentioned, it is surprising how often you can get multiple flat tires on while riding, particularly on longer sprints. The tip about bringing a patch kit in your bike repair kit can be incredibly helpful if you’ve already had one flat tire. I agree that all you listed seems like an awful lot to carry, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry, isn’t it?
Modern bottom brackets use a sealed bearing type construction that keeps water and debris locked out, so they seldom go wrong. Maintenance is impossible so they need replacing when they do wear out. Older style cup bottom brackets need to be re-greased every now and again, and occasionally will need to have their bearings replaced. There are a lot more teeth on the chainring cogs than those on the rear cassette, so need changing less regularly. Cranks usually a solid one piece construction so there is not much to go wrong.

Lenten Stillness

Few of us have very little opportunity for stillness that doesn’t involve staring at a screen of some kind. Lent is a time for reflection and stillness. With this in mind, the St. Ansgar nave (or sanctuary) will be open twice a week throughout the season of Lent for this very purpose. There will be no liturgy, hymns, or readings. You are invited simply to gather for stillness, focusing on breathing, or sitting, or walking or what-ever it is you need to do to still your mind and your spirit.

Mondays (beginning March 10) – 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m.
Wednesdays (beginning March 12) – 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

No Special Circumstances to allow Excess Super Contributions

Another case confirms that taxpayers making large superannuation contributions need to be diligent.

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal denied a taxpayers request to ignore excess contributions tax.

The taxpayer claimed that her situation and the complexity of her superannuation arrangements, meant that special circumstances should allow the Commissioner to overlook her excess contributions.

She had contributed what she thought was the maximum in year one and used the bring forward rule to contribute $450,000 in the year two.  She argued that part of the complexity was an industry fund, a defined benefit fund and her SMSF.  Having exceeded the maximum concessional contributions in year one, the bring forward rule was not available in the year two.

The tribunal considered that her superannuation arrangements were not out of the ordinary and emphasised her failure to seek advice and disregard reports from her superannuation fund, in favour of spreadsheets prepared by her husband.

The decision is quite predictable, again emphasising great care when endeavouring to take maximum advantage of tax concessions.

Fintech was one of the main topics discussed at the 12th Telecom Review Leaders’ Summit and a panel of leading industry experts tackled the evolution of the financial sector and how technology revolutionized payment methods. Elie Nasr, Managing partner, FOO who took part in this panel, spoke onsite to Telecom Review. He explained why FOO is a one-of-a-kind company in Lebanon and shared his insights on the Fintech market in the MENA region.

FOO is a leading player in the region and worldwide. What are the areas you mainly focus on?

We started back in 2009 with a focus on mobile applications created for feature phones. The company evolved and in 2016, we shifted to Fintech and became a B2B player in this field with products we export to the region and worldwide.

Our business mainly revolves around wallets, payments and digital banking platforms. We’re known for being engaged in different innovative projects in the region related to building wallets for governments, in addition to origination systems. We’re also involved in blockchain projects which are confidential. We are keen to monitor the evolution of payments and insure that transactions are fraud free and secure.

Do you consider FOO as a one-of-a-kind company in Lebanon?

We are one of a kind because we’re focused on what we’re doing and on building products that are competitive worldwide. Currently, we’re not facing any direct competition in the market. Some companies tackle certain aspects of our products but they don’t cover the whole offering we have. We are actually competing against international players.

How do you describe the Fintech market in the MENA region?

The Fintech market in the MENA region is evolving at a fast pace but varies in countries depending on the regulatory frameworks and central banks policies. Examples of countries in the region that are advanced in terms of the regulations include Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. The latter is opening its sandbox framework and is inviting all Fintech companies to innovate and present new technologies and ideas.

So, it all depends on the regulatory frameworks and on the maturity of the financial sector in the country itself. However, if we look at Iraq, which is underserved, we can see the great amount of innovation happening there, which quite resembles to the case of Kenya with the M-Pesa experience.

What is happening in the region is very impressive. Every country is evolving according to its financial services’ needs and we are proud of being involved in this revolution.

This is the first time you attend Telecom Review Leaders’ Summit. What is your feedback on the conference?

The Telecom Review Leaders’ Summit tackles not only the telecoms world but different other sectors as well such as Fintech, startups and cybersecurity. I have enjoyed the panel discussions that were happening throughout the day and I look forward to attending future Telecom Review Leaders’ Summits.

{ Spike | Jet | Faye | Ed | Ein | Vicious | Julia }

A pretty headshot of Julia. Full-body pic of Julia. Julia.

A cool pic of her smoking. Frightened Julia. Julia.

Name: Julia
Gender: Female
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
     Apparently, not much is known about Julia either. -_- It's hard not to like this woman, especially when the first scene we actually see with Julia is her shooting at bad guys with the help of Faye. (Don't ask how these two conveniently met up with each other, just watch the damn series). Julia is Spike's lover from his past life, and from everything you hear of her, she seems almost unreal. Even Faye, once meeting her, turns all quiet when talking of Julia and says she's an amazing woman. (I can't remember the exact words...) In the end, it turns out she's another kick-ass chick who really did love Spike, and wishes to finally leave the syndicate and live with him. It's assumed that she's good with a gun, though not much is actually seen of her shooting. She shows up when the final confrontation between Spike and Vicious is drawing near, but too bad she never gets to see the end of it. Heh, well anyway...

Earlier today I showed the Bank Index on the verge of hitting a new low for the year. By day's end, it had fallen to the lowest level in two years (Chart 1). This puts the BKX on track to challenge its 2005 low. In case you're wondering what that means, the BKX has fallen more than 20% from its early 2007 peak. That qualifies as an official bear market in bank stocks. That 5% daily drop helped make financials the day's weakest group. Consumer discretionary stocks came in second worst. Other large losers were small caps and transports. Those are the same market groups that have been lagging behind the rest of the market since mid-year. Although all sectors lost ground, groups that held up a bit better than the rest of market were healthcare, energy, industrials, utilities, and consumer staples. Bonds also had a strong day.

I smelled it first, reached up to find my hair on fire, Pascal candle, Easter vigil, burning bush of Moses. Was I chosen once again, ‘on fire for the Lord’, supreme calling in my childhood’s Baptist church? In a dream, flames licked my blood red feet in shards of shattered glass, water rushing past. We lit a cardboard Viking boat, launched it in the river, swept up in the current, blazed a path through the Hydrilla, consumed a favorite photo, notes of grief for my lost son. It swerved around old rocks, ancient as the river, rounded broken limbs, rotting leaves from recent rain. We ran beside it on the shore, followed with our eyes, amazed how far it traveled so quickly over rapids—stopped in arms of fallen oak. When we thought the flame was out, it licked higher in midair, one last flicker of good bye, sank into the river. I, luminous in a darkened church, heard the gasps behind me merging with Medieval plainsong, quenched the fire with my hands, smell of scorching hair, burning vessel, holy water.
