Me at Work

I've been without a car and internet service at the same time for a little bit now, which is basically like being in the nineteenth century. I'll post funny stuff about that sometime soon, maybe.

Today, I am thinking about September 11, like many Americans and lots of other people, particularly those of us who were in or near New York or Arlington or Somerset County.

Two years ago, I wrote about where I was that morning, but I find that today I am thinking about the people I spent that day with — my old coworkers, mostly. Many of us who were on the east coast were at work or school or on our way there; many of us were with our workmates or classmates. Does everyone think about the people they worked with that day? Does that somehow make it more important to have a work family, rather than just coworkers — knowing they're who you'll likely be with when the spit hits the fan?

As I posted to the alumni Facebook group of the place I worked then:

Today always makes me think of our [workplace] family: of being together that morning, of the folks who ventured out on foot to cover the story, of conversations afterward to process and comfort and make each other laugh, of style questions later (Is just "9/11" too glib?). I'm thinking of those of you who were working at [workplace] twelve years ago today, and still grateful you were the people I had to surround myself with.
OK, and you get one brief story, not about the day, but about the aftermath.

My boss at the time was very interested in making sure we all had time and space to process together, to get what we needed emotionally. And so she gathered us for maybe daily checkins, which was lovely, really. A few days after the 11th, she gathered us and shared some good news: Even several days later, people had been found alive in an SUV under the rubble. There was such a rush of joy, such a beautiful glimmer of hope — and then a colleague who can best be described as "unafraid to ask the stupid questions" said, entirely serious, "SUV? What's an SUV?" — like it was some jargony term he could not possibly have been expected to know. And the place erupted with the aforementioned joy and confusion and good-natured(ish) mocking we all needed right then. Because, seriously? "SUV" had been a common term for, like, 15 years by then, and this dude was not even 30.

We probably went out for drinks that afternoon.

We usually did.

So, you know, open thread today. Who do you think about? Who were you with?

Sweet dreams

Hey, I'm exhausted.

And I couldn't figure out why, and then I plugged the numbers into Google Maps and realized that in the last 55 hours, I have been in a car for roughly 300 miles, roughly 7 hours. I didn't drive all of it, but I drove most of it.

A normal day for me? Includes a 3-minute commute to work and a 3-minute commute home.

Day 2 of our month of gratitude: I am thankful for sleep, for rest, for the opportunity to reset every night — or sometimes even just by taking a nap for 20 minutes in the afternoon. So, gonna go do that now. Enjoy your extra overnight hour, everyone.

Football Fans & PPV Live Streaming: Is There A Bond?

Monika| Tue Jul 14 2015 CET| Clients & Partners

pay per view online

Watching the Premier League Football matches online can now be equally as good as being at the actual venue. PPV live streaming is the answer to the football fans’ demand for ways to follow their favorite teams on-the-go, without missing out on the real-life emotions.

While gate sales are dropping and sport fans are enthusiastically cutting the cord, many sport organizations – including football clubs – are embracing the new online outlet for their premium content – LIVE PPV streaming.

The stats around the football online viewership are a huge motivation to go PPV. For example, 28% of internet users are watching Premier League matches on TV and 16% watching online, with the latter growing rapidly.

Interestingly, one-third of those total viewers are actually playing football themselves. 50-60% are also following other European football leagues, with as many as a third of that percentage watching online (via GlobalWebIndex).

2015 International Champions Cup (ICC) available on PPV

Below is a recent shining football pay-per-view example, and its setup and promotion have been presented particularly well! VS LIVE, New Zealand’s leading PPV and broadcast events company, partnered up with Cleeng and Livestream to bring online the LIVE sport emotions from the 2015 International Champions Cup (ICC).

Embarking on a territorial opportunity with the ownership of media rights for streaming of the selected ICC games, VS LIVE will offer all New Zealand fans a one-click purchase and access opportunity to this historic event. They can count on a seamless HD ’TV everywhere’ experience, thanks to the advanced technology provided both by our partner, Livestream, and by a robust Cleeng e-commerce environment.

The tournament will kick off with a match between Real Madrid CF and AS Roma on Saturday, 18 July at 9:00 pm NZST.  A few days later, AS Roma will face Manchester City FC on Tuesday, 21 July before the tournament winds up on Friday, 24 July with a mouth-watering clash between Real Madrid CF and Manchester City FC, both of which will start at 9:45 pm NZST.

What can you learn from VS Live to set up your own successful pay-per-view live streaming?

  • Offer flexibility:  You should leverage different pricing models to support a satisfying user experience.   Within the International Champions Cup, VS LIVE is offering football aficionados a solid choice between a pass access to all matches (“pay once, watch them all”) and a single game access.  Further, viewers can pay in their local currency, which is definitely advantageous for any required currency conversions. Thanks to Cleeng’s robust technology, the setup was very easy for the VS LIVE, since no additional assistance from coders or developers was necessary.
  • Brand it:  VS LIVE adroitly uses their own branding and the logos of their partners alongside the league emblems to deliver a consistent and professional image.  This approach tacitly encourages the trust factor among the viewers to help cultivate online payment and participation.

pay per view online

The Cleeng-hosted pay-per-view online page, created by VS Live for the final match on Friday 24th that will feature Real Madrid vs Manchester City.
  • Promote early: VS Live put a lot of effort into attracting the viewers, starting almost a month before the streaming will begin. Take a notice of their sleek customization of a Cleeng-hosted page, their gripping message and their attention-grabbing preview. In addition, they’ve utilized Cleeng’s coupon functionality to grant their B2B partners discount access to the games.

Imagine all of the possibilities with Cleeng Live!

MN Library Legislation: House Legacy Conferees Named — Please Contact!

**This legislative update was originally  written by Elaine Keefe, lobbyist for MLA/MEMO, slight modifications by Patricia Post** (Received on Thursday, May 16, 2013 11:08 AM)

The House conferees for the Legacy bill were appointed on Thursday , May 16th.

Legacy Funding Background:  The House Legacy bill passed on the floor on Friday (10th). The Senate Legacy bill was unveiled in the Senate Legacy Subcommittee on Thursday (9th).  It includes $300,000 per year for the Minnesota Digital Library (the amount requested) and $1 million per year for regional public libraries.  This is a huge reduction from the $3 million per year currently allocated to regional public libraries.  Senator Dick Cohen, chair of both the Senate Finance Committee and the Legacy Subcommittee of the Senate Finance Committee, has historically opposed Legacy funding for libraries. His position has been that only those who advocated for the constitutional amendment should share in the funds generated.  Other recipients can be viewed as interlopers, including libraries.  Senator Cohen’s goal has been that 50% of the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund is to be allocated to the State Arts Board.  Currently about 43% is allocated to the State Arts Board.  The Senate bill includes a provision requiring that in the future 50% of the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund shall be allocated to the State Arts Board.  The initial version of the Senate Legacy bill distributed the funds to regional public libraries under the RLBSS formula, as has been done the past two biennia.  I subsequently spoke with Senator Cohen and he agreed to amend the bill to change the formula in accordance with the MLA/MEMO platform and to require that the funds be distributed in 10 equal payments.  That amendment was adopted on Friday (10th) and the bill was passed out of the subcommittee.

Please contact the Conferees and urge them to support the House position on Legacy funding for regional public libraries.

The House maintains the current funding level of $3 million per year, whereas the Senate reduces it to $1 million per year.

TIES Conference: CMLE Scholarship Recipient

The following post was submitted by CMLE scholarship recipient Debbie Disher,  Media Specialist at Holdingford Schools

TIES 2013 Conference – Fast Forward; Transforming Pedagogy with Technology

Deb Disher, Media Specialist
Deb Disher, Media Specialist

After missing last years TIES Conference I went to the December’s conference with great excitement and anticipation.  I was not disappointed.  I found myself in several great sessions covering technology and staff development.

One of the things that I took away from the conference was the need for me to change our staff development for technology.  Although I am always encouraging teachers that we need to change the way our classrooms operate, I realized that our staff development hasn’t changed that much.  In a session by Kriss Zajner he shared his passion for technology and how they are doing staff development in his district.  He shared how they are using Twitter, mini sessions, 15 minute sessions, continuous learning and sharing, etc.

Another great session was “IGNITE Technology – Enhanced Professional Development” presented by 4 different schools.  Some of the key points in this session included:

  • •making staff development fun
  • •making it about students and their achievement – not the software/hardware
  • •sharing not presenting
  • •make it comfortable – maybe a different location
  • •tech camps.

Because of these sessions we will be working on several changes for our technology staff development.  We plan to start some weekly introduction sessions, Tweeting and making staff development sessions fun.

How to be an UBER driver (in three easy steps)

Yes, I am an UBER driver. There’s no shame in admitting it. When you’ve been seeking full-time employment for 12 months and the market flatly rejects what you have to offer, you’ll take anything that comes to hand. At 46, I like to think I’m in pretty good shape, but  getting a gig in the IPL as a 20/20 cricketer is a dream I need to let go, so… welcome to UBER!

The attraction is pretty straight forward. We need money, we have a car, I’m a very good driver. That last qualifier may be open to subjection, but the first two are undeniable. As it pans out, it works like a dream. There is no roster to adhere to, no supervisor, no meetings to attend. You switch on and switch off whenever. This fits perfectly with our matrix of one full-time working parent, and two full on primary school boys with a social calendar that would be the envy of less notable European royalty. When all the ducks are aligned, I walk out the front door, shake out the floor mats, wash off the most offensive of the bird poo, and hit the streets.

I have to admit, I had some reservations. If you research the world according to Google you will find many colourful examples of the business practices of UBER. Let’s not be squeamish, it’s been ruthless in attaining its success. What would it be like working with an organisation at the very forefront of disrupting the technological and transportation status quo? Surprisingly easy as it turns out. Not only do they provide you with the cashless smart phone platform that allows you to work, but a support structure that solves all of your problems by email or text with a patient, kind and cheery disposition. Damn their seductive wiles.

Step one to being an UBER driver is to drive with zen like composure. When I consider how often my children have witnessed the delivery of expletive laden thoughts to my fellow road users, they would be surprised at the transformation of Daddy’s attitude when paying riders are in the car. I think any anxiety I would usually feel in traffic (i.e. being late, lost or hosing down a battle to the death in the back seat between my offspring), is transferred wholly to the rider I’ve picked up. I have no emotional involvement in the journey. That said, it brings joy to my heart when a rider jumps in and says “I’m late, go as fast as you can” (I imagine a tearful reunion at the airport as one lover stops the other walking through the departure gate and leaving forever – although typically its to start a shift at a fast food franchise) . My private-eye/noir dreams will be fulfilled when someone jumps in and shouts “follow that car!”

The challenge with driving safely in Melbourne is that the roads don’t seem to be intentionally designed to achieve this. Usually when you drive, you drive from point A’s to point B’s, repeat, repeat, repeat. You learn and remember the idiosyncrasies of that particular route and avoid the pitfalls. Driving for UBER I’ve discovered road signs I didn’t know existed, speed limits that range from 40 to 50 to 60 to 70 to 80 to 100, and which vary at different times of day depending on whether your children are to be run down on the way to, or from school. Its not good enough that traffic lights go from green to orange to red to green, but apparently we need ones that flash orange for a wee while, or have dispensed with the green signal entirely. And bike lanes, WTF! I’m an evangelist of the bike and the benefits of cycle commuting, but we have designed and installed in Melbourne and surrounds a piecemeal bike lane system that seems specifically designed to ensure the greatest number of bike riding casualties. This is only aggravated when someone like me, unfamiliar to a suburb and the local council’s unique solution to funnelling bicycles through it streets, navigates his bleary eyed way through it. Whilst I am yet to collect anyone upon my bonnet, one feels it is only a matter of time.

Step two to being an UBER driver is to navigate using a step-by-step GPS mapping system. This has a profound impact on how your brain works. Again, traditionally, we drive from point A’s to point B’s, and repeat, repeat, repeat. This creates a holistic image within the brain of the route and your spatial orientation – who isn’t familiar with the sensation of arriving home and having zero memory of the actual journey. Auto pilot kicks-in, leaving you free to make a mentally strike off people from your Christmas card list, or the options for dinner. At around the 4 hour hour mark of constant navigating, I can no longer use big words, string a complete sentence together or in an unfamiliar suburb tell the difference between north, south, east or west. But if you allow me to follow Google Maps instructions I can get you where you want to go, in the shortest possible time (mostly nearly always). It’s a modern miracle.

Step three to being an UBER driver is to connect with the human race. Truthfully, I’m not sure this is essential, but what a waste of an opportunity. My passengers have included musical instrument makers to the stars (The Wiggles), professional dancers, former Federal Ministers of Parliament, international shoe designers, famous comedians, hospitality workers by the boat load, lovers breaking up, lovers coming together, hen’s parties causing mayhem, octogenarians using their smart phones and UBER for the first time, doctors, lawyers, students, strip club performers, teachers, childcare workers, dentists, young people on the way to a party, young people on the way home from a party (mum and dad financing the UBER in lieu of doing the driving themselves), mums and dads escaping the children for a night on the town, countless airport runs, people on the way to a job interview or homebound as early morning escapees from one night stands. Every one an opportunity for a story and a conversation. Some people don’t want to talk. We drive quietly and you get to where you need to be. But for every one of these rides I get three more share their hopes and dreams, their musical tastes, their equally crazy children and how hard it is to be a parent, their political views or professional lives. And what a gloriously diverse story it is that Melbourne shares. This for me is the essence of the experience. It’s true value. The transportation just happens as an added bonus.

If all of that is pretty mundane, wrap you’re head around the future. UBER is one of many tech companies planning towards a future of 100% electric, self-driving vehicles. The future is 2030 – thats thirteen years from now. Not only will a drivers licence become obsolete as a rite of passage, but so will car ownership. The vision is that fleets of these vehicles, owned by corporations or collectives (no one is certain what the model will look like to be economically viable) will take you where you need to go so efficiently and at such low cost that it will make no sense to own your own car. The modelling suggests that a worldwide fleet of 50 million of these cars will effectively replace 1 billion vehicles on the road. Instead of driving the 30 minutes to work in your own car, parking it for 8 hours before returning 30 minutes home, the car of the future will be running all day picking up and dropping off riders throughout cities and urban landscapes. The first obvious impact is on travel times and safety with less traffic on the road, the second is the reclaiming of our cities. The roads and carparks no longer required can be returned to green space, housing and other beneficial purposes. Modelling out of the USA identifies as much as 25% of a city could be transformed for these purposes.

If this sounds far fetched, think again. Change can be so gradual, it sneaks up on you. UBER has already convinced large swathes of young people in Melbourne that car ownership is a dud, and many, many families like ours that a second car is equally irrelevant. The future is coming fast.

Java Question

Java indexOf method for multiple matches in String

I had a question about the indexOf method. I want to find multiple cases of "X" in a string.

Suppose my string is "x is x is x is x", I want to find x in all of its index positions.
But how do you do this for multiple cases? Is this even possible with indexOf?

I did int temp = str.indexOf('x');
It find the first x. I tried to do a for loop where i is initialized to length of string and this did not work since I kept finding the first x over and over.

for (int y = temp1; y >= 0;y-- )
int temp = str.indexOf('x');

But this does not work. Am I supposed to use regex? Because I don't really know how to use regex method.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Answer Source

There is a second variant of the indexOf method, which takes a start-index as a parameter.

i = str.indexOf('x');
while(i >= 0) {
     i = str.indexOf('x', i+1);

iOS Question

Xamarin cycle 7 IOS IPA output now in a datetime folder

I have just updated to the latest version of Xamarin studio, however when I try to build my solution using XBuild, through our continuous integration server it now generates the IPA file in a data time folder, (within the usual bin\iphone\Ad-hoc folders) e.g. :

Finisher3 2016-06-09 11-57-45\Finisher3.ipa

however I do not understand why it now does this - in the previous version it gave me a file as follows:

Does anyone know how to get it back to setting the version number again, rather than putting it in a date time folder which makes it fairly impractical to copy the IPA to a release folder once I have finished building it.

Answer Source

According the the discussion on the Xamarin forums, there are two options

Option 1) (can't get this working though)

$(IpaPackagePath) MSBuild variable can be used to locate the .ipa file

Options 2)

    <_IpaOutputPath>$(DeviceSpecificOutputPath)$(_AppBundleName) $([System.DateTime]::Now.ToString('yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss'))</_IpaOutputPath>
    <IpaPackageName Condition="'$(IpaPackageName)' != '' And !$(IpaPackageName.EndsWith ('.ipa', StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))">$(IpaPackageName).ipa</IpaPackageName>
    <IpaPackageName Condition="'$(IpaPackageName)' == ''">$(_AppBundleName).ipa</IpaPackageName>

Javascript Question

Ramda.js refactoring

I decided to code a simple todo app using Ramda, but I have been stuck with one refactoring related issue. Here're two functions that I think could be refactored:

const isItemCompleted = R.pipe(

const isItemEdited = R.pipe(

As you can see, there is some code duplication and this would get even messier if I had more states. I have been trying to isolate the duplicated functionality as such:

const statesContains = R.flip(R.pipe(

//I would like to use it like this:
const isItemCompleted = statesContains("completed")
const isItemEdited = statesContains("editing")

But I just cannot wrap my head around this. I can make it work with different argument ordering, but I would like to follow the data-last rule to create concise functions.

The data being passed to these isItemCompleted and isItemEdited functions could be something like this:

let item = {states:["editing", "complete"]};
isItemCompleted(item); //true

Any (functional) ideas?

Answer Source

There are several ways to go with this.

Perhaps the most straightforward is

const statesContains = R.curry(
  (state, item) => R.contains(state, R.prop('states', item))

const isItemCompleted = statesContains("completed");

But it's reasonable to want to abstract this a bit, to allow the property to be searched to vary as well. So you could write:

const propContains = R.curry(
  (propName, state, item) => R.contains(state, R.prop(propName, item))

const editorsContains = propContains('editors')
const edFred = editorsContains('fred');

// or edFred = propContains('editors', 'fred');

Both of these are reasonable. But Ramda has a function which reads really well, and will serve these needs pretty well, where. With this, you can simply write:

const isItemCompleted = R.where({states: R.contains('completed')});

This, I believe, is the simplest approach if you're looking for one-offs. But both of the above could help you create reusable functions.

You can see all this in action in the Ramda REPL

Python Question

Django models's attributes correctly saved by forms, but returns None type when queried

I have a model called UserProfile defined like so:

class UserProfile(models.Model):

user = models.OneToOneField(User)

website = models.URLField(blank=True, null=True)
location = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True)
longitude = models.FloatField(null=True)
latitude = models.FloatField(null=True)
credit = models.FloatField(default=0, null=True)

def __unicode__(self):
return self.user.username

The 'register' page includes the following form:

When it is submitted it goes to:

def register(request):
registered = False
if request.method == "POST":
user_form = UserForm(request.POST)
profile_form = UserProfileForm(request.POST)

if user_form.is_valid() and profile_form.is_valid():
lat = request.POST.get('lat')
print("lat is: " + lat)
lng = request.POST.get('lng')
user = user_form.save()
profile = profile_form.save(commit=False)
profile.user = user
profile.latitude = lat
profile.longitude = lng
print user_form.errors, profile_form.errors

profile_form = UserProfileForm()
user_form = UserForm()

return render(request, "register.html", {'user_form' : user_form, 'profile_form' : profile_form})

That all seems to work fine, but when I try to query this data in another view, the location, lat, and lng properties come up as 'None' types.

def link(request):
print("trying to authenticate...")
if request.user.is_authenticated():
user_profile = UserProfile(user=request.user)
return render(request, 'login.html')

if request.method == "POST":
print("request was a post.")
if request.is_ajax():
print("request is ajax.")
print("User profile is: " + str(user_profile))
# returns billy, so we're looking at the right object
print("user location is: " + str(user_profile.location))
user_longitude = user_profile.longitude
user_latitude = user_profile.latitude
distance = request.POST.get('distance')
value = request.POST.get('value')

As you can see, the data coming up here is different than what is returned by the shell queries:

User profile is billy
user location is: None
user longitude is: None

I'm very confused as to how location, etc are float types in the shell and register view, but None types in the 'link' view. Any ideas?

Answer Source

In your link view, you're not querying for the userprofile, you're just instantiating a new (blank) one with the user set to the current user.

You probably meant to do:

user_profile = UserProfile.objects.get(user=request.user)

but it would be even easier to do:

user_profile = request.user.userprofile

Another minor point: you don't show the form, but I assume that the UserProfileForm has latitude and longitude fields on it, in which case there is no need to set them manually. If they're not on the form, why not? By getting them directly from request.POST you're bypassing all the validation the form would do, such as checking that they are valid float values.

Curt Swan - Superman Annual #7 Grey Tone Cover Illustration Original Art (DC, 1963). Steel yourself for the thrill of a Silver Age art sensation! Here is the incredible Superman statue illustration that served as the centerpiece for the cover of Superman Annual #7! Quoting from page 112 of Eddie Zeno's super-biography on the Man of Tomorrow's top artist of the sixties, Curt Swan: A Life in Comics, historian Arlen Schumer observed, "Of all the recurrent imagery in Curt Swan's Superman family career, it is finally the statues, monuments, and memorials that are the most revealing of Swan's nature, for they show an artist whose style mirrored his name -- that of a swan itself, graceful and dignified, yet strong and resolute, permeated with an air of solemnity. They are utterly heroic models, some of the most iconic in the history of comics." Although not designated as a grey tone cover as such by Overstreet, this remarkable piece was created using a similar rendering technique. Since the final image was that of a metallic statue, no other colors were needed atop this tonal rendering. The rest of the printed cover design was most likely composed of stats. Since sixties Superman grey tone art is scarcer than rainbow kryptonite, this may be your best chance to own such a remarkable Swan Superman piece! The legend on the statue illustration reads "The Spirit of America," rather than the "Commemorating Superman's Silver Anniversary 1938-1963" that appears on the comic book cover. This legend may have been altered on a halftone stat of the art done as part of the paste-up for the printed cover. This piece has been matted to an overall size of 10" x 18", and the art is in Excellent condition.

    Set Analysis totalling specific

    David Capan

      I'm trying to total amounts for specific unit of measures using set analysis, but when I plug in my expression my numbers are too large.

      For instance, if I narrow my selection to return 1 row and the VALUE is 100 for USD, my expression will return something completely wrong like 67432.

      Here's my expression:

      =num(sum({<UOM = {'USD'}>}VALUE))

      Can anyone help me with this or point me in the right direction?

Murphy vs. Mish

Financial Economics, Shameless Self-Promotion 12 Comments

At the behest of several readers, today at Mises.org I tackled once again Mish’s credit-deflation paradigm. Here’s a good excerpt:

When Mish wrote the above, the S&P 500 was 935. As the quote above tells us, at this time Mish was predicting that stocks would then fall down to 600 or maybe even 450. Instead, the “sucker rally” kept going, such that exactly one year later, the S&P 500 stood at 1137. To switch to percentages, this means that in early 2009, Mish was calling for stocks to drop anywhere from 35 percent to 52 percent. Instead, stocks steadily rose 22 percent. That’s a phenomenally bad prediction.

I said it twice in the article, and I’ll say it again here: I am not claiming that the deflationists are totally wrong, and that people like Gary North and me–who have been faithful to our heritage as economists, in worrying about new money creation leading to rising prices–have been totally right.

In fact, Paul Krugman and Scott Sumner could understandably claim that they have called things much better than the Mishian inflationistas or deflationistas.

So, my point in writing this Mish piece was to make sure that his fans understand just how much his mantra has been wrong, since early 2009.

12 Responses to “Murphy vs. Mish”

  1. Mike Sandifer says:

    Given your statement about the disinflation predictions by Krugman and Sumner, at what point do you see it necessary to at least revise your Austrian perspectives in significant ways?

    • RG says:

      I’ve found the Austrian perspective consistent with disinflation. I’ve also found it to be consistent with dispriceinflation. I just hope the Austrians are still a bit premature about disbeingthebegginingofhyperinflation.

      • bobmurphy says:

        That was funny enough to make me overlook your anti-religious rants. (I hope I’m not mixing you up with somebody else.)

        • RG says:

          The only rant I can remember was directed at your pal Gene. I’m not quite certain of his divinity.

          • bobmurphy says:

            Hmm maybe that’s what I’m thinking of. Yeah, I’m pretty sure he’s not divine.

    • bobmurphy says:

      I will tell Krugman to his face, during our debate, what would have to happen for me to publicly recant.

      • Mike Sandifer says:

        Maybe you should state your criteria for recant now, so Krugman thinks there’s some hope of actually winning in the eyes of Austrian fans.

  2. AP Lerner says:

    From the essay: “Yet the stock market crashed while total bank credit stagnated and then shot up.”

    Actually, bank credit never shot up. The short burst on the graph you see is a change in accounting rules, forcing banks to bring a lot of credit back on balance sheet. What you see there is small portion of the shadow banking system banking being brought back on balance sheet, and then included in the data set. The destruction of credit has continued interrupted: that was NOT a burst of new credit creation.

    • bobmurphy says:

      Well, fair enough; I have no reason to doubt you on that point. Still, the stock market should not have gone up throughout 2009 per Mish.

      So let me clarify my position: Mish can say, “Well, this is a blip, just you wait, massive deflation is a a-comin’.”

      But what he CAN’T say is, “Everything is proceeding just as I said it would.”

      • GoinFawr says:

        Nice work Mr.Murphy.

  3. Scott says:

    That was a nice essay. Very diplomatic and fair.

    But it seems to me that the center of the argument between deflationists such as Mish, Robert Prechter, and Vox Day and guys like you and Gary North is how you define what money is. The deflationists seem to base their analyses on the idea that debt and money are interchangeable and indistinguishable. If they didn’t believe that, it seems to me that their predictions would suddenly morph into looking pretty much like yours.

    I suspect that as long as that disagreement stands, nobody is going to be converted. But maybe showing that predictions based on this idea are turning out wrong will stand as sufficient evidence to attack the argument indirectly.

    • RG says:

      I’ll go one step further and venture to say they just don’t understand money…or at least money absent fraud.

Controls for mechanical and automatic gearshift boxes

Company “Systems of Controls – CONSYS” is able to provide you with Controls for mechanical and automatic gearshift boxes of any configuration. At the present time there are many options for transmissions, but ordinary mechanical (manual) is still quite popular.

The usual mechanism of transmission control uses a system of levers, but control cables mechanism is more modern (Fig.1.), used in buses, where the gearbox and the engine located in the rear or on the truck where the driver’s cab tilts for access to the engine and gearbox.

This mechanism consists of master unit (Fig.2.), remote control cables (selection and switch) and a variety of fittings (joints) for cables (Fig.3.) mounting. Master support may also be called a side scene or selector and be horizontal, vertical and inclined. Master unit (selector) can be horizontal, vertical and inclined.

Generally, control is carried out by hand. Driver sets lever of control mechanism in the position corresponding to a specific transmission gear. In a neutral (intermediate) position (no gear engaged) lever has sufficient ability to move laterally. In this case is a choice – which of the gear switch. Gear is turned on by moving the lever forward or backward.

It should be noted that the selection and switch cables structurally different from each other and are not interchangeable.

Fig.1. Gearshift cable drive

Gearshift cable drive (Fig.1.) consists of master unit (switching mechanism) – 1 and control cables (selection – 2 и switch – 3). Depending on the design of the gearshift, actuator may also include translators and rods – 6. Availability of different methods of fastening of a cable – 8 as well as a wide variety of fittings – 9 can be used for various designs transmissions.

On request, cable drive can be additionally equipped with a parking brake cable.

gearbox shift

Fig.2. Overall construction of master unit

Control cable (Fig.3.) designed for mechanical transmission of the energy of motion (shear forces). Directly cable core passes efforts and conduit serves as a core guide and his defense. Depending on the required effort and cable travel using “CONSYS” catalogue you can select cable corresponding series (3, 4, 6, 8) as well as selected other necessary characteristics (dimensional, temperature, etc.). The standard for each cable are high-quality seals. They prevent the ingress of moisture and contaminants in cable, which improves performance and efficiency of the cable in all temperature conditions.

Bearings for rod and sleeve are made of a special polymer and are used to seal and prevent contact between rod and sleeve.

Fig.3. Overall construction of control cable

As stated above, master units design may be different.
Following are horizontal master unit (Fig.4a.); vertical master unit (Fig.4b.).

Fig.4b. Master Unit (vertical)

Automatic transmission control carried out by the shifter (selector, master unit) and remote control cable. With shifter selects the desired mode of operation for automatic transmission. In this case the movement of shifter knob to the desired position via remote control cable changes the position of the appropriate lever on the automatic transmission. The advantage of this control system is the ability to place the shifter in site required by driver or operator and by control cable lay necessary cable route to the automatic transmission, in whatever part of the vehicle she was.

New Evidence Bolsters 2 Habeas Petitions Filed by Innocence Project at UVA Law

Clinic's March Responses to the State's Motions to Dismiss Mark Latest Filings
UVA Law Innocence Project

The yearlong Innocence Project Clinic gives students experience investigating and litigating wrongful convictions of inmates in Virginia.

March 24, 2017

A murder victim's weighted-down body defies physics and floats 10 miles — upstream.

The Innocence Project Clinic at the University of Virginia School of Law clinic wasn't buying it, either. The argument is among numerous disputed elements of two high-profile cases the clinic says never added up. Now, recently uncovered evidence in both cases bolsters assertions that their clients are innocent, the clinic's instructors say. The yearlong clinic gives students experience investigating and litigating wrongful convictions of inmates in Virginia.

In March, the clinic filed responses to the state's motions to dismiss their petitions of habeas corpus on behalf of clients in unrelated cases, Emerson Stevens and Messiah Johnson. Habeas petitions are challenges to unlawful imprisonment. In both cases, the clients are asserting their actual innocence as well.

Emerson Stevens was convicted in 1986 of abducting and murdering a mother of two, Mary Harding of Ottoman, then leaving her body weighted by chains and a cinder block in waters near the Rappahannock River.

But a box of potentially exculpatory case evidence, which was not previously disclosed to the defense, was discovered late last year at the Lancaster County Sheriff's Department and turned over to the clinic. The evidence included statements that conflict with — and would have impeached — court testimony, as well as information on additional viable suspects and indications of coercion on the part of the state's chief investigator, the clinic alleges.

In one of the contradictions, an expert in marine science gave court testimony as to how Harding's body could have traveled so far from where authorities theorized Stevens dumped it. (Stevens had a docked boat, but no boat lights, so authorities believed it was out of the question he could have traveled very far that night without running aground.)

The expert "gave some speculative testimony about the tidal patterns, basically saying it was possible that the body could have traveled 2.5 miles a day, and the body was found four days after, so there's your 10 miles," said Jennifer L. Givens, the clinic's legal director and co-instructor.

But the clinic found something contrary in the commonwealth's file — a letter from that same witness.

"Between trials, the witness basically said to the commonwealth's attorney, 'Are you sure you want me to testify again, because your detective characterized my testimony as 'eyewash,'" Givens said.

A polite synonym would be "hogwash."

Also uncovered in the recently disclosed papers were notes from the FBI that said the victim’s body was likely dumped only 500 to 600 yards from where it was found, Givens said.

In a second disputed case, Messiah Johnson was convicted in 1998 of taking part in the armed robbery of a hair salon in Norfolk. The clinic alleges Johnson was misidentified as one of the disguised men ("Robber No. 1") as the result of poor police practices, mistaken eyewitnesses, prosecutorial misconduct and ineffective assistance of counsel. No physical evidence connected Johnson to the crime, and he had an alibi.

Since Johnson's conviction, another man — convicted of other similar robberies in the neighborhood during that time period, including that same day — has stepped forward and claimed responsibility for the crime.

During a 2015 TEDx Charlottesville talk, Deirdre Enright, the clinic's director of investigation and its other instructor, told the story of how the more likely suspect was identified. Students in the clinic had tracked down the alternate suspect, now identified as Robert Humphries, through police reports and press clippings that matched with how the suspect operated.

The investigation led them to the prison where Humphries was housed. But they were only allowed 25 minutes to interview him.

"I had to walk into a room, shake hands and say, ‘Hi Robber No. 1, my name is Deirdre, and this is a law student," Enright said. "We don't have much time here, and this is going to seem kind of rude, but I have a client, Messiah, he's a real great guy. Said he didn't do it, armed robbery, Ghent neighborhood, Norfolk, disguises, y'know — any of this?’ And he quickly cut me off and said, 'Oh, that sounds like me!'"

Based on the confession, Enright and company later returned with an affidavit, and Humphries signed his confession.

"He said, 'Nobody should be in prison for something they didn't do,’" Enright said.

Power of Community

19.05.2017 Find more articles

Within past few months we have been invited to many legal tech events and communities and we are very honoured and happy about it. It is really good to see activity raising and communities being built around legal tech with increasing speed. This is still a niche industry and requires a lot of attention and everyone’s co-operation to raise awareness and bring the advantages to customers everywhere. It is important to us to contribute in the community and share insights and knowledge wherever we can.

In April, Contract Mill was invited to first Innovation.Law event arranged in Zurich. The event gathered good amount of legal techies in a cool industrial style environment in an old printing house (symbolic!). Program combined many sides of the industry into one super interesting day, including both presentations and breakout sessions and finally a panel discussion. Topics varied from transformation of legal industry, innovation in legal services, digitalisation, case studies and interesting examples of legal tech solutions in practice. Contract Mill held one breakout session where Kaisa Kromhof demoed Contract Mill’s beta version to a full audience. To sum up the content of the day, one of the important messages was to focus on customer need whatever you decide to do in the legal tech field. Secondly all the speakers encouraged lawyers in all organisations to take steps to try out the different solutions already out there.

We have also activated in legal tech associations both in Switzerland and Finland. Associations have regular meetings where in-house lawyers, attorneys, students and legal tech providers can meet and exchange ideas and network. Excellent opportunities and extremely nice people! We want more!

In June Contract Mill will be presented in several events around Europe.

On 9 June, University of Helsinki’s Legal Tech Lab arranges a first-ever seminar on law and digitalisation and rethinking legal services. Approach is to present both academic and business doers giving also students a say. Contract Mill will be taking part of the panel discussion on disruption and regulation, which will surely be very thought-provoking.

On 15-16 June there will be also first-ever conference in Berlin by ELTA, i.e. European Legal Tech Association. Such European-wide co-operation is highly welcomed to gather all activity around Europe together! Contract Mill’s Kaisa Kromhof is proud to represent Finnish legal tech on European level along with Riikka Koulu from University of Helsinki’s Legal Tech Lab.

And there’s one more before summer vacation, namely a conference in Lisbon on 22-23 June arranged by Portuguese Solicitor’s and Enforcement Agent’s Association OSAE. Contract Mill is super excited to being able to present our solution to help lawyers to be more with the help of contract automation.

Come fall there will be more interesting events where you can meet us, like Swiss Legal Tech Conference and Finnish startup event Slush and much more. We believe that our niche market will soon reach early mainstream and magic happens when interested and inspiring people get together and start talking. We are always up for a cup of coffee or a good chat so don’t hesitate to approach us wherever we meet.

Frequently Asked Dumpster Rental Questions

If this is your very first time renting a dumpster in Mission Viejo, you may not know what is legally permissible in regards to the positioning of the dumpster. If you intend to place the dumpster completely on your own property, you're not generally required to get a permit.

If, however, your project requires you to put the dumpster on a public street or roadway, this will usually mean that you must make an application for a permit. It is always a good idea to consult your local city or county offices (maybe the parking enforcement department) in case you have a question regarding the requirement for a permit on a street.

Should you fail to get a permit and find out later that you were required to have one, you may probably face a fine from your local authorities. In most dumpster rental in Mission Viejo cases, though, you should be just fine without a permit as long as you keep the dumpster on your property.

In case you are seeking to rent a dumpster in Mission Viejo, one of your main considerations is going to be price. There are generally two pricing options available when renting a dumpster in Mission Viejo. Flat rate is pricing dependent on the size of the dumpster, not the amount of material you place in it. Per ton pricing will bill you based on the weight you need hauled.

One kind of pricing structure isn't always more expensive than the other. Knowing just how much material you have to throw away, you might get a better deal with per ton pricing. On the other hand, flat rate pricing can help you keep a limitation on prices when you are coping with unknown weights. Whether you regularly rent dumpsters for work or just want a one-time rental for a project round the home, you need to search around for the best rental costs based on your own needs.

Most cities or municipalities do not have many regulations regarding dumpster rental in Mission Viejo as long as you keep the dumpster totally on your own property during the rental period. In the event you must position your container on the street at all, you will likely have to get a license from the correct building permit office in your town.

Most dumpster rental companies in Mission Viejo will take care of procuring this license for you if you rent from them. Make sure that if you're intending to set the dumpster on the street, the company has made the appropriate arrangements. You must also guarantee that you get the license in a timely manner and at the correct price. If you believed the dumpster business was getting a license and they did not, you will be the one who will have to pay the fine that is issued by the authorities.

Whether or not you desire a long-term or roll off dumpster depends on the type of job and service you will need. Permanent dumpster service is for continuous demands that continue more than simply a day or two. This includes matters like day to day waste and recycling needs. Temporary service is precisely what the name suggests; a one time demand for project-special waste removal.

Temporary roll off dumpsters are delivered on a truck and are rolled off where they'll be used. All these are usually larger containers that may manage all the waste that comes with that specific job. Permanent dumpsters are usually smaller containers because they are emptied on a regular basis and so do not need to hold as much at one time.

Should you request a permanent dumpster, some firms demand at least a one-year service agreement for this dumpster. Roll off dumpsters only need a rental fee for the time that you simply keep the dumpster on the job.

The smallest size roll-off dumpster normally available is 10 yards. This container will carry about 10 cubic yards of waste and debris, which is roughly equal to 3 to 5 pickup truck loads of waste. This dumpster is an excellent choice for small-scale projects, such as small home cleanouts.

Other examples of projects that a 10 yard container would function well for include: A garage, shed or loft cleanout A 250 square foot deck removal 2,000 to 2,500 square feet of single layer roofing shingles A small kitchen or bathroom remodeling job Concrete or soil removal Getting rid of waste Bear in mind that weight limitations for the containers are enforced, thus exceeding the weight limit will incur additional charges. The standard weight limitation for a 10 yard bin is 1 to 3 tons (2,000 to 6,000 pounds).

A 10 yard bin will allow you to take care of small projects round the house. When you have a bigger job coming up, take a peek at some bigger containers also.

You can fill your dumpster as high as you like, provided that you really do not load it higher than the sides of the container. Overfilling the dumpster could cause the waste or debris to slide off as the dumpster is loaded onto the truck or as the truck is driving. Overloaded or heavy dumpsters are simply not safe, and firms don't take unsafe loads to be able to protect drivers and passengers on the road.

In some regions, dumpster loads must be tarped for security. If your load is too high, it WOn't have the ability to be tarped so you will have to remove some of the debris before it can be hauled away. This may result in additional fees if it demands you to keep the dumpster for a longer period of time. Remember to keep your load no higher than the sides of the dumpster, and you'll be good.

#22641 closed enhancement (maybelater)

Request: include post_id on media_send_to_editor filter call in wp_ajax_send_attachment_to_editor

Reported by: adrianhardy Owned by:
Milestone: Priority: normal
Severity: minor Version: 2.6
Component: Media Keywords:
Focuses: Cc:

Before 3.5, by combining some hidden fields on the add media popup (using attachment_fields_to_edit) and then looking for those fields in $attachment in the media_send_to_editor filter, you could alter the $html sent back to the editor on a per custom post type basis.

Here's a pre 3.5 tutorial on what I'm on about: http://shibashake.com/wordpress-theme/how-to-hook-into-the-media-upload-popup-interface - The relevant part is in step 4, "Set Our Own Action".

Because recent changes mean that the fields added by attachment_fields_to_edit are posted separately ("save-attachment-compat"), there's no way to identify the custom post type when hooking into the media_send_to_editor filter.

In wp_ajax_send_attachment_to_editor(), is there any reason we couldn't also include $_POSTpost_id? with the "media_send_to_editor" filter?

$html = apply_filters( 'media_send_to_editor', $html, $id, $attachment, $_POST['post_id']);

I'm new to WP, but I would've thought that wouldn't break anything because of the way most filter hooks will only look for params 1-3.

save-attachment-compat and save-attachment both receive post_id in the same manner as before — $_POST['post_id']. This was done deliberately for backwards compatibility. So everything should work as before, even without the hook change.

#2 @adrianhardy
5 years ago

Thanks for the quick reply.

"media_send_to_editor" still doesn't know about the post to which the attachment relates though. I'm not using attachment_fields_to_edit to actually effect a change on the post or the attachment - that's just a means to an end - I'm only using it as a way of transporting data back round to media_send_to_editor.

Without media_send_to_editor knowing about the custom post type, I've no way of selectively changing the html sent back to the editor.

Of course, I could be using the wrong approach completely which is why I'm struggling.

Thanks again. 3.5 looks awesome.

  • Version changed from trunk to 2.6

Right, so in 3.4, media_send_to_editor did not receive a post_id. Individuals checked $_POST['post_id'] manually in their callbacks. I think this is a good potential change — obviously, it is much better to use a passed argument, than to infer from global state. But, this hook as been there untouched since 2.6 or so, so I'm not inclined to change it for 3.5.

#4 @wonderboymusic
4 years ago

  • Keywords needs-patch added
  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to Future Release

#5 @wonderboymusic
3 years ago

  • Keywords needs-patch removed
  • Milestone Future Release deleted
  • Resolution set to maybelater
  • Status changed from new to closed

No one has asked for this for 22 months, I think the dust has adequately settled post-3.5

Case study: Vent-hood and user access

Before I rip right into it, let me start off by mentioning that it has been a while since we have written anything. I'm sorry. You see, it is just that I have been a little bit busy this season. One of the things keeping me busy is a cool kitchen project in the South Granville area and it's been interesting. Oh, it is just a white-on-white kitchen (typical of what seems to be my signature style) and we are dropping the ceiling 6 3/4" in order move the entire cooktop and ventilation. It's the most brilliant of ideas I have had in a long time, and I'm sure it has been done before by someone greater than I. The core of the design challenge is that I have a specific user (the client) and she happens to be taller than the average woman at 1.78 m, whilst her designer is a lowly 1.77 m. She had concerns about the height of the vent hood in relation to her sight line and that the glass canopy vent hood was directly at eye level. This posed a great challenge.

During the appliance selection process, the client has selected one of those very cool in-cabinet slide-out ventilation units. Sadly, this pre-Madonna changed the design, causing the greatest challenge of the year, because the client had it in their minds that they were just removing a wall and adding an island. You see, vent hoods do not come in a standard shape and a standard height and like humans, they come in all sorts of sizes and are just as fussy. I very luckily stumbled upon a Faber unit (with the help of the appliance specialist) that fit the dimensional requirements as well as the clients requirements for a glass top.

This was fantastic, a true feat of design, but the client needed more visual information on what it was going to look like. There was only one solution, an anthropomorphic study detail drawing.

Athropo what? In interior design, Anthropometrics are the measurements and sizes of the human body and physical requirements. In this case, the user has a specific sight-line need that was assessed to be important in the overall requirements of the design. Yup. I created the problem.

In order to resolve the problem, I produced a set of quick study drawings (above) that show the user's actual height in relationship to the ventilation appliance. This was relatively easy to produce because I design in SketchUp so it was all done lickity split. Now I really am a designer ninja because I did the impossible and resolved the biggest objection to boot.

Medallion Christmas Ornament - Challenge 151

This ornament combines a medallion with a rosette, a snowflake and a butterfly.  It's large and awesome!

1.  Cut 13 pieces of Designer series paper (I used Letters to Santa) 2" by 2"
2.  Fold each piece in half and unfold.
3.  With a pencil or the handle of a paint brush, roll each piece diagonally.  Unroll gently.
4.  Fold into a cone shape.  Do this for all 13 pieces.
5.  Using a hot glue gun, attach each piece to a circle punched with a 1 1/4" circle punch.
See video:

6. Insert a jumbo eyelet in one of the medallions and attach a cherry cobbler and white Baker's twine through it.
7. Using the snowflake die, die cut a snow flake in Whisper White card stock and apply dazzling diamonds.
Attach it to the center of the medallion using stampin dimensionals.
8. Now make the rosette using 1 1/4" by 12" Cherry Cobbler card stock scored every 1/4" on the Simply Scored tool.
9. Attach a 1" circle in Cherry Cobbler punch with the 1" circle punch
10. On top of that attach a Cherry cobbler button.
11. On top of the button attach a butterfly die cut using the Beautiful wings die and silver glimmer paper.
12. Three pearls in the center of the butterfly complete the ornament.

Repeat steps 7 to 12 for the other side of the medallion.

Flower Pot Card

I had some fun today making flowers using various stamp sets, and punches, some of which are retiring and some are not.
I had quite a number when I was done, so make a flower pot easel card, the template for which I got at my local craft store.

The card base is Cajun Craze cardstock, layered with Moroccan Series DSP.  I used a template from a local craft store to make this flower pot shaped easel card.

I stamped floral images from various stamp sets (Flower Shop, Grateful Bunch), punched some of the others using the Petite Petal Punch, Bunch Punch, the Scallop circle framelit, and Botanical Framelits. Some flowers were made into tiny roses, or a Chrysanthemum.  Most of the floral centers have pearls in them, but some have small brads.

The sentiment is from "Blossom Birthdays"

Here is the side view.

And a close up of the flowers:

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Grateful Bunch, Flower Shop, Birthday Blossoms
Inks: Daffodil Delight, Delightful Dijon, Old Olive, Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Black Memento
Papers: Cajun Craze, Moroccan DSP, Calypso Coral, Chocolate Chip, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
Accessories: Petite Petal Punch, Bunch Punch, Botanical Framelits, Layering Circles framelits, Pearls, small brads

Watch out world; Emmaus is Near.

I have been reading the Near Emmaus blog for some time now. And ever since I came across it I have been impressed with its content. When I first started to read it; it was authored by three different people. Since then they added another two authors to its site and updated their information about the authors.

This is the biblio/theoblog of Brian LePort, Ishta Kutesa, JohnDave Medina, Joshua Smith, and Robert Jimenez. Brian is a ThM student at Western Seminary. Ishta is a journalism student at Coventry University. JohnDave is a MA student at George Fox University. Joshua is an M.DIV student at Western Seminary. Robert is a student at King’s Evangelical Divinity School and an associate pastor at Praise Chapel Paramount.

Now they have to update their information once more to include the infamous Reverend Mark Stevens. Now for us Aussie Bloggers this is a milestone. For Mark is nearly as Aussie as one could hope for… even if he does hail from way down south near the Mexicans Smile with tongue out NSW Aussie slang for those who live south of Sydney NSW

If your not aware of this blog and these authors; stop by and have a read and say G’day to them.

About Craig Benno

I'm an average aussie guy who has lived perhaps a not so average life.

News, University of Connecticut, New Leadership: Radio Interview with Dr. Susan Herbst

Spring has finally arrived.  At this time of year March Madness – it is so easy to get caught up in the hoopla and excitement surrounding men and womens’ College Basketball.  In 2011, this is made easier by the fact that both the UConn women and the men are doing very well in tournament play… Go Huskies!

However, a lasting and more significant change in academic leadership is set to take place in July 2011, with the arrival of the next University of Connecticut president, Dr. Susan Herbst.

This month on Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network (CPTV), local affiliate of National Public Radio (NPR), Dr. Herbst was interviewed on the talk-radio series Where We Live.  Host John Dankosky conducted the hour-long interview on Mar 22 2011.

Below is a screenshot of the Where We Live site and a link to the transcript of the interview:

Getting Started with Intel-Based Platforms on Arduino Create © CC BY-NC-SA

Follow a guided installation wizard to get your IoT Gateway configured, and ready to be used on Arduino Create.

  • 13 respects

Apps and online services

About this project

What is Arduino Create?

Arduino Create is an online platform that enables makers to write code, access tutorials, configure boards, and share projects. Designed to provide users with a continuous workflow, Arduino Create connects the dots between each part of a maker’s journey from inspiration to implementation. If you want to learn more on the features of Create check out this getting started guide.

Setting up your Intel-based Platform

If you have an Intel-based platform, such as an Intel Nuc, Up2 Board, Dell Wyse, Gigabyte GB-BXT or any other gateway with Ethernet connection, you can easily set it up by following a simple guide. If you have the UP Squared Grove IoT Development Kit, you can follow a simplified setup process here.

Once you have configured your device, you will be able to upload sketches from anywhere in the world via the Cloud. You will be also able to interact with all the processes running on the Gateway; for instance you can stop and start your programs, read their output, or monitor their behavior.

All you need to get started is an Arduino Profile.

Sign up to Arduino

Create a new Arduino Account at this link. Complete the registration form, then hit the ‘Create Account’ button. You will receive an email with a link to activate your account. Select the link and a new page will open with your confirmed account information.

Note that you can also use this account to write posts on Arduino’s official Forum, buy products on the online store, add comments on the blog, as well as create tutorials on the Arduino Project Hub (YAY!).

Log in the Arduino Web Editor

Once you have successfully registered for an Arduino account, go to the Getting Started Web app and log in. Then press Set Up a generic Intel-based platform.

Setup your device to communicate with Create

After having read the welcome page that lists all the steps you will go through, you can pick the installation flow that best suits your needs:

A. You are just unpacking your brand new device

If you have just purchased your device and this is your first time using it this is the flow for you. If the device is brand new chances are really high that no OS has been installed on it yet. But no worries we are going to install it together, just make sure you have a USB stick at hand.

Select Option 2 (on the right).

To be able to correctly install a Linux distribution on your gateway we need to create a new user and set a password. You will be able to use these credentials to access your Gateway if you connect to it via SSH or if you plug it into a screen and keyboard.

If you require a proxy to be configured to access Internet, you will be able to set it up on this page.

Select the Linux distribution you prefer and then press the 'Download OS' button. We recommend you use Ubuntu for generic Gateways.

Please look for a file called arduino-connector.img in your Download folder.

Now that we have a customized OS we are going to flash it on a USB stick, to do so we will use Etcher but you can use any other software you may already have on your PC.

So download Etcher and install it on your PC. Run Etcher and follow the instructions to flash the USB key: select the arduino-connect.img file, plug in the USB key and hit 'Flash'. Please note that all the content previously stored on your USB will be erased in this process. Also note that you might be asked to enter your PC's password to complete this process.

As soon as the USB is ready you will get a success message from Etcher. Your OS might complain that the USB stick will be not readable, just ignore the message and eject it.

Now you can quit Etcher and go back to the Getting Started guide in the browser.

We are now ready to install the customized OS on your device.

First thing to do is checking if your device can boot from USB, here are some guides on how to change the booting order. Once you are sure about the order, plug the USB key in your device, connect it to Internet via Ethernet and turn it on, you can do so by simply and plugging the power jack in.

The installation process has now started!

If something goes wrong (for instance the progress bar gets stuck for a very long time) you can try to flash a new USB key or check your Internet connection. Please note that you cannot reuse the same USB stick for multiple Gateways and you must always restart the flow from the very beginning.

In general you need to be a bit patient during this unattended flow, as it can take up to 30 minutes according to your Internet connection.

Once the process has been successfully completed you will be asked to remove the USB key from you Gateway.

You are all set! You are ready to jump to the last part of this guide.

B. You have already installed an OS on your device

If an OS is already running on your Gateway you can select the button on the left. You should now connect your device to Internet via Ethernet and turn it on, you can do so by simply and plugging the power jack in. When ready go to the next screen.

You are now presented with 2 options, (1) Enter your device IP address or (2) Connect a screen and a keyboard to the device.

B1. Enter your device IP

If you know your device IP address you can simply write it in the text field. You can use services like Angry IP Scanner to check what devices are available on your network and what their IP is.

For this option to work, your host computer and gateway need to be on the same network. Arduino Create is using SSH to login to your target platform from your host, in order to configure the Arduino Connector. If an OpenSSH server isn’t running on your gateway you can install it using sudo apt-get install openssh-server . Once it’s installed the SSH server should start automatically.

Once you have entered the IP address you will be asked to enter your Gateway username and password. If you are behind proxy you can also set it up here.

That's it! You will need to wait for the installation process to be completed and you will be ready to go.

B2. Connect a screen and keyboard to your Gateway

If you have a screen and keyboard at hand you can connect them to your Gateway. Now just open the Terminal on the device and type the script displayed on your PC. Run the 4 commands one by one.

At the end of this progress bar the installation flow will be completed.

Finishing up the Installation

You have successfully completed the installation (using either the USB, the IP or the Script)! You will be now asked to give your Gateway a name so you will be able to recognize it when you access it from My Devices app and the Online Editor.

Run a Test Sketch

At the end of the installation flow you will be redirected to the web editor. For more infos on how to use it follow this tutorial.

Let's run a test sketch! Open the DebugSerial example included in the UP Squared Grove IoT Development Kit library.

You can find it in LIBRARIES > UP SQUARED GROVE IOT DEV KIT > Serial > DebugSerial. You can also just type 'UP' in the search field and it will be easier to find :)

While you may have a different board than what’s in the UP Squared Grove IoT Development Kit, all of the examples created for that kit should work, with the exception of the ones that include specific sensors (GroveLCD and GroveRotaryAngle for example).

This example demonstrate the use of the Monitor in the online editor, that can be used to receive or send messages to and from your board via Network. To see it in action you need to upload the example onto your board, make sure you have selected your device via Cloud in the target dropdown.

Once the upload has completed you will see a success message appearing right under the code area. You can confirm that your sketch is running because the log gives you a Process ID (PID). For example:

Congratulations, you've compiled and built your first sketch!

Now you can go to the Monitor panel, if you enter 'hello' into input field and press SEND, you will see the following:

The DebugSerial method behaves like Serial. In general, here is how to use it:

Initialize in the setup() method, using a baud of 115200:

To print messages from the board, use either:

To listen to messages:

Stopping and Starting Sketches

Now that your sketch is running onto a Intel-based platform you should be seeing a RUN/STOP button in the toolbar. Since multiple sketches can run simultaneously on your device, you can now decide which one should run and which one should be stopped.

Pressing the RUN/STOP button will display the whole list of sketches currently on the device, you can act on them directly from this popover.

My Devices App

Go to the My Devices app by clicking the menu icon in the upper left and clicking My Devices. Alternatively, you can go to

My Devices allows you to see all the cloud-enabled boards and products that you have setup and are linked to your account.

From here you can see what processes are running on each board and stop or start them. You can also delete your devices if you don't need them anymore.

Click ‘1 SKETCHES RUNNING’. You should now see the name of the sketch that you ran, for example ‘Blink’. Click on ‘RUNNING’.

You should now see ‘STOPPED’.

You are not limited to running one sketch at a time and can run multiple sketches, given they don’t conflict with each other.

MRAA and UPM Basics in Arduino Create

If something goes wrong in this installation process you can let us know on the Arduino Forum. Keep in mind that this guide has been tested in depth only on the Intel Nuc and the UP2 Board.
