Two of Lincolnshire highest profile elected policing figures have been probed by MPs this afternoon at a Home Affairs Committee meeting in Westminster.

Police and crime commissioner for the county Alan Hardwick and Police and Crime Panel chairman councillor Roy Wootten were summoned to the meeting at the Grimond Room at 2.45pm.

Mr Hardwick was quizzed on the overturned suspension of Lincolnshire Police’s chief constable Neil Rhodes by the committee, chaired by Keith Vaz, MP for Leicester East.

Mr Vaz asked him if he stood by his decision to suspend Neil Rhodes in February over an allegation over an employment dispute, which was overturned in a High Court in March.

A judge labelled the suspension ‘irrational’ and ‘perverse’ but Mr Hardwick insisted he stood by the suspension at the meeting on Tuesday.

“I still maintain that my interpretation was correct, the judge disagreed with me,” said the commissioner.

He described the decision to re-instate Mr Rhodes as current temporary chief constable despite his contract ending on March 31 as a ’u-turn on my part’.

“We are both professionals, we have a good and sound working relationship,” he added.

Also called to give evidence were Mark Burns-Williamson, West Yorkshire police and crime commissioner, Tim Passmore, Suffolk police and crime commissioner and the respective crime panel chairs for the two areas.

Within the meeting it was revealed by Keith Vaz that Mr Hardwick had been left with a £50,000 bill from the High Court case, which the commissioner admitted was ‘news to me’.

“The money will come from the budget of my own office, which is £450,000 per year,” he said, confirming the taxpayer will foot the bill.

Asked if he was embarrassed about the coverage of the suspension, Mr Hardwick replied: “I would rather be in the news for more positive reasons.”

“There is still an investigation going on, led by Sir Peter Fahy, and I spoke to Sir Peter yesterday and we’re confident that the decision from his investigation will be with me within four weeks,” he said.

Asked if he would apologise to Neil Rhodes if Sir Peter Fahy found Mr Hardwick to be in the wrong over the suspension, he confirmed he would.

Mr Hardwick, who has no deputy commissioner, also revealed that he had recently been ill and had left his chief executive, who is not elected, to deputise.

Lincolnshire’s Police and Crime Panel chairman councillor Ray Wootten was also called to give evidence to the committee.

He was asked why it took 72 days to organise a crime panel meeting, which was held last week, in the wake of the suspension of Neil Rhodes.

Coun Wootten blamed the delay on conflicting legal advice he had received over the panel’s remit.

“This is a very serious matter which we must probe,” Keith Vaz told him.

Coun Wootten said the crime panel’s legal adviser had told him they no remit to look into the suspension of the police constable, advice which was later found to be incorrect when Damien Green, the Minister of State for Policing and Criminal Justice, contacted him.

Keith Vaz then asked Coun Wootten why members of the public were ‘not allowed’ into the extraordinary meeting held at Tedder Hall in Manby on Thursday.

“We were unaware that there were members of the public waiting,” he replied, revealing that a panel member had also been unable to enter the chamber until the meeting had finished.

Mr Vaz labelled the whole situation ‘farcical’. “No wonder it has reached the national press,” he said.

“Don’t you think the people of Lincolnshire deserve an apology?” He asked.

Another MP said he was ‘flabbergasted’ by what he had heard but Coun Wootten claimed East Lindsey District Council have pledged only to issue a formal apology if there is sufficient coverage of the incident in the media. However ELDC’s communications team leader James Gilbert did apologise to the public after the Manby meeting was over.

Keith Vaz said the committee would be writing to ELDC’s chief executive Stuart Davy for an explanation.

Coun Wootten also called for crime panels to be handed more powers to scrutinise and, if required, challenge the decisions of police and crime commissioners.

Software As A Destination vs Software As A Journey

I am feeling a little existential and metaphorical today, so forgive me if this post has more than just a slight tinge of existential metaphor about it. I do hope it still makes some sense.

There are two fundamental ways of looking at software development. One is all about the final product and the direct benefits you can get from it. The other is all about the lessons you learn from the process of building the software. I call them software as a destination and software as a journey. Historically speaking and even into the present day, the majority of companies that build any kind of software are 'software as a destination' companies. They want to extract some direct financial benefit from the software they build (which is fair enough), until this benefit is realised, the process of building the software is just a resource (time, money) drain. On the other hand, most individuals who build software for those companies would instinctively like to be (and in many cases ARE) 'software as a journey' people. We want to enjoy our work, we want to learn as much as we can, we want to interact with those around us, we want to build code that we can be proud of and we want to get paid. All of this will happen throughout the project rather than just at the end, and so it is all about the journey, the final success of the product is almost icing on the cake. It seems that there is a fundamental disconnect between what a company wants to get out of building software and what the developers will try to extract from the experience.

This is why the software development industry is in a sort-of screwed-up state, or at least it has been for many years (things are getting better). Companies see the destination and want to arrive there as quickly as they can, the sooner they get there the sooner they see the benefits from all that money they spend and the sooner they can start getting their money back, either directly or indirectly. Anything that stands in the way of this goal must be swept aside and this includes the developers who want to enjoy the journey and 'smell the roses' on their way to the final product. Of course, the companies hold all the cards (they employ you, pay you – which indirectly, feeds and clothes' your children) and so can usually get their way if they really want to. Developers can try to make noise about the value of paying attention to the journey, but if the company is dead set on doing things their way, that's the way things will be done, developers can either fall into line or there will be other developers to replace them. However, just like a real, physical journey, if you have your eyes set firmly on the destination and are not looking where you're putting your feet, there is a good chance you will trip over some roots, or a snake will bite you, or you won't notice that cliff which is right between you and where you're going. This is how we get failed projects.

Once the project and the company are at the bottom of the cliff, you can kinda tell that everyone is in trouble. But it is difficult to figure out exactly how you ended up where you are, you had your eyes firmly on the destination and forgot to pay attention to what was happening around you, so it is hard to pinpoint the mistakes that landed you at the bottom of a cliff. Companies will do a post-mortem, come up with some vague reasons for why things went to hell, everyone feels better that they have an explanation (leaving everyone none the wiser in reality). And so next time they go out and do the same thing all over again. All the while, the answer is staring everyone right in the face. If only they had listened to the developers who told them to pay attention to the journey and not worry so much about the destination things would have been different. Even novice programmers soon learn, from personal experience, that when we slow down and pay attention to what we are doing right now, we get a lot more out of it, we learn more and the final product is improved as a result. There are only benefits, no downsides, alright, you lose some time in the short term, but gain it all back with interest in the long term. But, at the macro level where committees make decisions, this same lesson takes years and decades to permeate the hive-mind. Not to mention the fact that seeing only the destination is much easier than constantly paying attention, and so even the occasional developer gets seduced by the 'software as a destination' mentality (it's really more than just the occasional), which sets everyone back by introducing conflicting opinion and muddying the waters unnecessarily.

There was a bunch of people who were all 'software as a journey' people who basically got sick of all the back and forth. They recognised the fact that the journey is what really matters not just at the personal level, where each individual developer is concerned, but at the team, project and company level as well. They decided to give a united voice to the message that as long as you take care and extract the maximum benefit along the way, the destination will take care of itself – you will arrive somewhere you want to be. It may not be exactly the same place where you thought you would end up, but it will be a nice place nevertheless and best of all, you will have a very good idea of precisely how you got where you are, despite not having a narrow focus on the final objective from the start. More like-minded people joined the initial bunch and the movement got more organised. Some of these people started companies of their own; others brought their message to larger organisation. And now that the 'software as a journey' message had a united voice (albeit still a comparatively small one), the success of looking at software development this way could be demonstrated, but more importantly, disseminated to the industry at large.

It is a major undertaking for a company to develop any significant piece of software. Not just from a financial perspective, but as far as airing out the dirty baggage and discovering the process inefficiencies that every significant company will have. After all, in order to put something logically into code you need to figure out exactly what that something is and how it works. This is a golden opportunity for the company to streamline and improve how their business works, figure out if some processes are unnecessary. You're building software, but you're paying attention to what you're doing not just at the technical level but at the organisational level as well. As a result, not only do you get more robust software that better fits your needs, but you also improve the day to day operations of the company; all because you were paying attention to the journey rather than focusing on the destination.

But, it is so much easier to simply look towards the goals and on paper it seems like it SHOULD be more efficient. If you're in management you want to seem more efficient and focused rather than being wishy-washy and touchy-feely, preaching self-awareness and a less-rapid pace just isn't strategic enough. And so companies create artificial deadline pressures (like end of financial cycle of some sort), to make everything neater and make the people in charge look good and it feels like for every step the agile movement takes towards running software projects better, some company somewhere, takes two steps back.

Robert A Heinlein once said:

"The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive."

Infact, he had many other quotes which I think are quite relevant to the software profession, maybe I'll do a post about that at some point. To me this quote says that it's the moment that really matters, enjoy the life you have now rather than constantly looking forward to something better. I am not sure if there is any irony to be found in software, but if you direct all your focus towards your goal without paying due attention to the nitty gritty of what you're doing every day, you're likely to not get any useable software out of it. As long as you have a reasonable idea of where you want to end up, you just need to get the details right and the bigger picture will tend to sort itself out. On the other hand, you can have the clearest possible goal in mind, but if you let the details slide, bad things will almost certainly happen.

    I know a senior developer who went to work at a company as their only programmer and built them a custom solution to a problem they were currently outsourcing or doing manually. The cost saved was in the high tens of thousands of dollars per month, so this was a huge win all around. While effective, the custom software solution was definitely bare-bones and needed a lot of fleshing out and future development (this was a large-scale project build by 1 super-coder). It was a long-term investment that was most definitely worth it for them.

    The business manager went up to the developer and asked – So what would happen if you leave the company? That’s a legitimate concern and of course the right answer is: you need to hire more programmers. Instead he was expecting to get the software to be at a point where he -could- leave and the software would continue to run indefinitely, supported only by non-programmers.

    The reality is that little-to-no software stands up to that kind of test. A piece of in-house software doesn’t have all the automation and trimmings that a product-for-sale would have. And even then, new versions and upgrades are shipped as a matter of course for products as well. Even if the product itself continued to function, bug-free, the technology it runs on and interfaces with would be changing. We’re in a world run by software and it’s an on-going thing. The idea of set-it-and-forget-it just doesn’t work.

    • Hi Amber,

      I hadn’t even considered that aspect of my post. But you’re of course right, most companies would like nothing better than a piece of software that will do everything they need from it in perpetuity without having to spend any additional effort getting to support evolving business needs. We know that this is ridiculous, no software can meet this goal, but many less technical people don’t.

      And it doesn’t help that many large software vendors try to present their pre-canned software as just such a package. All you need is some configuration and it will always do everything you want it to do. I am gonna stop now before I start writing a post-sized comment :).

  • Good post, especially – paragraph 3, the lines in bold – “just like a real, physical journey, if you have your eyes set firmly on the destination and are not looking where you’re putting your feet…..” – take a bow! Great analogy!

    It comes down to ‘thinking’ I guess, at every level (developer, manager, tester), sadly a lot of people do not think. There’s as much ‘heart’ involved in software development as there is the ‘head’, but people don’t realize it. Too much adherence to rules and age-old corporate strategies results in this sort destination-centric approach. Not that this adherence is bad but you sort of take things for granted and loose interest in changing and modifying the setup for good.

    Again, ‘adaptability’ is the keyword here and not so much ‘planning’, because you can always plan to reach your destination but have to adapt throughout the journey to actually reach there.

    • Hi Nikhil,

      It is not by accident that one of the key agile tenets is that of embracing change :). Change will happen right now and you need to be able to deal with it, infact you need to plan for it to make sure it happens as painlessly as you can manage. As you said adaptability definitely helps. For many project, change is that thing that everyone hopes will pass them by, and everything will go according to plan. How likely is that.

  • Ant

    Holy wall-of-text Batman!

    I think part of the problem comes from developers not having the courage to push back on the business. Gutless in asking repetitively for extra time, doing the things that need to be done, not just have to be done.

    • That is part of the issue, the other side, is the business not willing to listen to developers when they raise concerns, so developers learn to never raise concerns again and just make-do. Bad for the business and bad for developers.

  • Pingback: The Quality Imperative | Thought Clusters()

  • It seems to me that you’ve got to keep an eye towards both the journey and the destination, otherwise you might have a really nice trip but not actually get anywhere.

    F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.” To some degree that’s what you have to do on a software project.

    I good team will have a mix of journey-oriented and destination-oriented contributors and an environment that cultivates vigorous discussion. A great team will have one or two contributors that can keep both in mind as the project progresses.

    • Hey Evan,

      That is a very sensible approach, you definitely need to have some idea of where you want to end up. But historically speaking, journey orientation has been rare, whereas everyone has been on the destination band wagon. The issue is that destination orientation is relatively easy, at least in the superficial sense. Journey orientation on the other hand can be extremely difficult, dealing with all the ongoing issues and being able to adjust the course you take to the destination or even altering the destination itself as you go.

  • I guess the problem is that the advantage for “software as a destination” people of taking care and paying attention every step of the way are all intangible things: if you do everything with love you’ll get solid, robust, testable, maintainable, reliable, supportable code.

    From a “software as a destination” mindset, if the product ships, does it matter if you’ve had problems testing it? If its hard to maintain? Hard to support? As long as its out there earning money: job done, right?

    • Hey David,

      See, the “as long as it ships” attitude seems to be seen as the pragmatic approach, but in reality it can be quite the opposite. What if it doesn’t ship? Do you know why it didn’t ship, where did you go wrong, at what point could it have been salvaged and a myriad of other questions can arise. And if you have been destination oriented all throughout, you will only be able to make guesses in response to all those questions. And even if it does ship, can you do it again on the next project just as successfully? You can try doing everything you did exactly the same and the project might end up as a failure and you will once again be unable to answer why.

      • Hi Alan,

        Very fair point – that only applies *if* software ships. But, I’ve seen enough projects that slip and slip and slip because of a “software as a destination” mentality. Technical debt is accepted in the name of pragmatism, gradually slowing down the project. Although the project probably *should* have failed, its slowly manhandled into a shape where at least it meets the basic business goals – with half hearted promises to come back and fix the mountain of technical debt in some mythical “phase 2”.

        You’re dead right, though – learning from these mistakes seems to be the hardest thing. I wonder if there’s a problem here as well of how we view success and failure. Its a natural human trait to praise ourselves for our successes and blame others for our failures. So when a project ships anything like on time, we’ll praise our amazing process and our own coding prowess. When a project gets canned, we’ll blame “the business”, “that other team” or “management” – rather than acknowledging the truth that maybe if we’d done a better job, either we would have known earlier that the project was doomed or the project might have actually shipped.

  • There is a history that quite fits in here, taken from The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho (according to Wikipedia, Coelho is very happy about quoting him or even sharing his work by peer-to-peer, it seems). I’ll try to shorten it a little (because it is something like 8 paragraphs long). If you enjoy it, consider looking for the book, I recommend it highly.

    A boy looking for the secret of happiness meets the wise man he has been looking for an answer. The boy, after waiting for hours asks… And the answer is that he is too busy, and instructs him to go wander his palace and look around. But he asks him to do something: *carry a spoon with two drops of oil, without allowing the oil to spill.*

    The boy goes and wanders around for two hours, intently watching the oil in the spoon. When he comes back, the wise man asks if he has seen the Persian tapestries, the tame lion or the books in the library. The boy, embarrassed answers that he has not seen anything, he was too concentrated in the oil in the spoon. The master tells him to go and take a look at all these marvels.

    The boy picks the spoon and goes around again, enjoying the magnificent garden, peering through books, feeding the lion. When he is back, the wise man asks ‘But where is my oil?’ as he sees the spoon is empty. Then, the master says “The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon”

    As programmers (mind you, but I guess being a mathematician shares the journey-destination metaphor… finishing your thesis feels like that) we should not only be aware of the beautiful journey we are in, but also keep in mind that we need to keep those two oil drops in our spoon.

    PS: Sorry for the long comment, I could not condense the history better than that.

    • Hi Ruben,

      I really like that metaphor, I’ve been meaning to read The Alchemist for ages, but never seem to get around to it, too many books to read :(.

  • This is an excellent post ! Thanks for taking the time to write it. A successful Software Company will always help their people through their journey, whatever the journey might be. Focusing only on the bottom-line is not a sustainable model. If your company has a long term strategy for its products, people should be really high on the priority list.

    @Ruben: Thanks for sharing this metaphor !

    • You are welcome! But the big thanks should go to Alan and Mr. Coelho, I just was the glue :)

    “You’re building software, but you’re paying attention to what you’re doing not just at the technical level but at the organisational level as well. As a result, not only do you get more robust software that better fits your needs, but you also improve the day to day operations of the company”
    I like this fragment.

    I think that the process of software project development must be kept absolutely clear and predictable.

  • Great read. As a developer and a manager, I think the trick is in to be able to appreciate the journey even as one doesn’t take the eyes of the ball in terms of ensuring a competitive software development organisation in terms of being able to meet the business and stakeholder expectations. A lot of issues arise when the business stakeholders cannot appreciate the journey, and I think it is just as bad when the journey dominates and the destination is forgotten.

    Having said that, I had once expressed my anguish on the same topic with similar sentiments but very different content here :

BUNNELL, Fla. (AP) — Looking to stay at the Green Roof Inn? Probably not.

A Florida sheriff says rooms are available and a new retro-neon sign purchased with drug-seized assets features a blinking “vacancy” light.

Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly has dubbed the county jail the Green Roof Inn. A sign lists the amenities at the facility north of Daytona Beach. There is no privacy, group bathrooms and no meal selection.

But inmates do get free transportation to court and state prisons, designer handcuffs and leg irons, color coordinated jumpsuits and shoes.

A sign at the jail’s exit lets inmates know the Green Roof Inn “always has a light on” and beds are available if they break the law again.

Staly says it’s a warning that jail is not a “5-star hotel.”

The Software Sustainability Institute is organising Carpentry Instructor Training workshop at the University of Manchester from 4th to 5th September 2017, just before WSSSPE5.1 and RSE 2017—making it a nice week in Manchester.

The Instructor Training is an intensive two-day workshop for trainers who wish to become Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry instructors. It is strongly recommended that attendees have some previous exposure to Data and/or Software Carpentry workshops, either as students, helpers, observers or co-instructors.

The event is sold out at the moment, but you can still join the waiting list.

The UK Open Research Data Task Force has just released a report looking at the Research Data Infrastructure Landscape in the UK and beyond. The report provides a thorough overview of the infrastructure that supports open research data in the UK and abroad.

It details the policies that have been implemented by research funders and universities themselves; the technological platforms and tools developed at local, national and international levels; and the cultural challenges that are still present across different disciplinary research groups. The report has been reviewed and discussed by members of the Open Research Data Taskforce who represent HEFCE, RCUK, Wellcome Trust, UUK, Jisc, BEIS, academics from a number of disciplines and champions of open research data, including Software Sustainability Institute Co-Investigator, Professor David De Roure.

The report highlights a number of issues covering technical, cultural and behavioural, and operational and policy concerns. With respect to software, the report notes that:

"Few data policies make more than passing reference to software and code, though they can constitute a significant barrier to data sharing and open data. For they are integral to the generation of research data; and access to them is essential if users are to be able to re-use data effectively or validate research findings. There is potential to use software management plans to encourage researchers to consider how the code they develop is organised and published, improving its reuse and the…

Steve Harris' article "Data Science for Docs" was recently published as the guest editorial in Bulletin, July 2017, the magazine for members of the National College of Anaesthetics, which reaches every anaesthetist in the UK (largest hospital speciality).

You can find the article on pages 12 and 13 of Bulletin, Issue 104.

Dr Daniel S. Katz will talk at a Helmholtz Open Science Webinar in August about "Using citation to provide credit for software contributions". Most research today in many fields is dependent on software, but academic culture does not reward development, support, and maintenance of that software. A potential method to provide such credit is to insert software into the current publication/citation system. This talk will discuss an effort that is underway to do this, the FORCE11 Software Citation Implementation working group.

The webinar will take place on Wednesday, 9 August 2017, 3 to 3.30 pm CEST with a rerun on
Monday, 14 August 2017, 3 to 3.30 pm CEST.

Registration: There isn't any registration required. Please go to the instructions page for details on how to access the webinars.

After the talk, there will be time to chat with the speaker for questions. Please have a look at the webinar details for further information.

The Workshop on Sustainable Software for Science: Practice and Experiences (WSSSPE5.1) will take place on Wednesday 6th September 2017, at the School of Computer Science, University of Manchester. Register at WSSSPE5.1.

The call for submissions is also currently open until the 10th July. For further information and how to apply, please visit the WSSSPE5.1 Call for Submissions.

WSSSPE is an international community-driven organization that promotes sustainable research software by addressing challenges related to the full lifecycle of research software through shared learning and community action. WSSSPE5.1 is the seventh workshop convened since 2015 in an international series that provides opportunities for the community to come together to share experiences and advance practices.

WSSSPE5.1 aims to capture the state of the art in sustainable research software, discuss ongoing efforts to improve it, and identify potential topics to act upon. The workshop will report updates on and evaluations of present efforts from the community, including Working Groups established at past workshops, and suggest and discuss future measures. In order to provide short-term documentation, WSSSPE5.1 will produce a series of speed blogs in addition to the workshop report.

Six Dorset council leaders have pledged their commitment to plans to change local government in the county.

The leaders of six authorities – Dorset County, Bournemouth, North Dorset, Poole, West Dorset and Weymouth and Portland – have reconfirmed their support for the proposals that would see them transformed as one rural and one urban council.

The proposal for Future Dorset is due to be considered by the secretary of state for communities and local government later this year and is on track to come into effect in April 2019 with local elections being held one month later.

Three councils – Christchurch Borough and Purbeck and East Dorset district councils – have not agreed to the proposals.

Leaders backing the changes include Councillor Graham Carr-Jones, of North Dorset District Council.

He said: “The Future Dorset plan will bring £108million of savings in the first six years through economies of scale and reduced costs.

“These savings could turn the tide and make money available to empty the bins, fix the roads, protect parks and open spaces and run libraries – things that will be under very real threat if there is no change.”

He said the reduction of the number of councillors – currently standing at 330 across the authorities – would save more than £1million in costs.

West Dorset District Council leader Councillor Anthony Alford said: “This proposal could deliver a prize that is far greater than any council can achieve in its current form.

“Two councils representing Dorset could mean greater access to government money for investment in, for example, our roads, digital connectivity and housing.

“While we will continue to promote and enhance the rural environment and the attractiveness of our market towns, that will be good for the quality of life and the job prospects for those who live in Dorset.”

Dorset County Council leader Rebecca Knox described the plan as a chance in a lifetime for Dorset.

Bournemouth’s John Beesley and Poole’s Janet Walton also want to see the proposals succeed. And Jeff Cant, leader of Weymouth and Portland Borough Council said everyone involved would seek to preserve and protect the cherished history and culture of areas.

As the country gets whipped up into election fever there’s a chance for you to get involved in North East Somerset.

A hustings for General Election candidates in the North East Somerset constituency will take place in Midsomer Norton Town Hall on June 1.

The debate will bring together the candidates for the seat in a Question Time-style event, which is being presented by the Somerset Guardian and Somer Valley FM in partnership.

All the candidates from the main parties will be taking part, and they are Jacob Rees-Mogg (Conservative), Manda Rigby (Liberal Democrats), Robin Moss (Labour) and Sally Calverley (Green Party).

It is also hoped that the independent candidate Shaun Hughes, will be taking part.

Somer Valley FM will be broadcasting the evening live.

The doors open for the hustings at 6.30pm for a 7pm start, and there will be a bar and access for the disabled.

The event is free to attend, on a first come, first served basis, but as it is a live broadcast, it will be governed by electoral guidelines.

Somerset Guardian editor Tim Lethaby will kick off proceedings by interviewing all the candidates, and this will be followed by the main hustings event, chaired by Dom Chambers, of Somer Valley FM.

The official hashtag for the event is #NESomsDebate17 and throughout the evening Mr Lethaby will be posing questions from Twitter to the panel.

He said: “The looks set to be an exciting election, and I am delighted that we have teamed up with Somer Valley FM to offer a hustings in Midsomer Norton.

“I hope lots of people come along to quiz the candidates, and for those on Twitter please put forward your questions using the #NESomsDebate17 hashtag.”

Alexis Sanchez could make his debut for Manchester United against Yeovil Town in Somerset, if his long awaited transfer is finally confirmed in the coming days.

It's unlikely the complicated deal will be fully wrapped up before United play Burnley on Saturday (January 20) - certainly not in time for him to play, though stranger things have happened.

That's because the transfer seems to be reliant on Arsene Wenger signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan from United and the Armenian is demanding higher wages to move to London.

Knowing all that, it seems increasingly likely Yeovil against United in the FA Cup on Friday, January 26, could be the first time Sanchez pulls on a red shirt for Jose Mourinho's side (it's rumoured he'll wear the famous number 7, previously worn by David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and others).

Alexis Sanchez could make his Manchester United debut at Huish Park next week
Alexis Sanchez could make his Manchester United debut at Huish Park next week

So what does Alexis Sanchez need to know before a visit to south Somerset? He needs a tongue in cheek guide to the best of the West, surely?

Here are seven things that might be worth knowing before a visit to Yeovil…

1- There’s quite a bit to do…

According to TripAdvisor Yeovil’s top ten attractions include the Fleet Air Arm Museum, The Octagon Theatre, Huish Park Stadium and Yeovil Railway Centre. Of course there’s also the Quedam Shopping Centre, Yeo Leisure Park’s cinema and restaurants, and much more, including sites in nearby towns, from Sherborne Castle to Clark’s Village.

Of course, he's probably more likely to be practicing his free kicks, or maybe counting his money (his contract is reportedly worth £14 million after tax).

2 - Beautiful green spaces…

Yeovil Country Park is just five minutes from the town centre. Its footpaths, waterways and green spaces have been recognised by the Green Flag Award Scheme and National England.

3 - Ian Botham…

The great England cricketer began his love affair with sport in Yeovil. Sanchez won't be the first world famous sports star to light up the town.

Sir Ian Botham
Sir Ian Botham - Yeovil is already cool

4 - Transport links…

If for some reason you should want to venture beyond Yeovil that’s a piece of cake with the A303, M5 and two train stations linking the town easily to gems like Bath, Bristol, Exeter, the Dorset coast and even the bright lights of London.

It's unlikely Sanchez will want to go back to London after fleeing Arsenal (some Gunners fans might be a bit upset with him still) but at least the options are there!

Yes, yes, we know he can probably afford a chauffeur...

5 - A genius slogan…

The signs as you arrive in Yeovil used to have a witty motto – “the heart of the country, the mind of a city.” Very nicely put.

Sadly they don't say that now but someone should point out to Sanchez how clever souls in the past used to put an amazing spin on Yeovil!

How signs at the entrances to Yeovil used to look

6 - Helicopters…

There are worse things to be known for, given the Leonardo manufacturing base in the heart of town, formerly known as Westlands.

Sanchez might even arrive in one...

7 - Screws…

Screwfix, a national building supply company with 400 stores and millions of pounds worth of turnover, started life in the town.

Its still got its main base here.

Death Café is a new initiative where you can buy headstone biscuits, surround yourself with coffins, and talk about death.

This isn’t a weird goth gathering however, this is a new scheme to help promote open discussion about death and dying.

The café, located at the Creative Innovation Centre in Taunton , provides tea, cake, and a relaxed discussion about visitors’ experiences with death, and their hopes and fears for their own deaths and funerals.

The first meeting was held last week, and organiser Nicole Stanfield Caile said: "I was so pleased with the turnout, all of these people from different walks of life, coming together to talk about the one thing that we all have in common.

"The discussion about death was very helpful and interesting, and the cake was delicious.

“I couldn't have asked for a better venue, everything went brilliantly.”

The cafe aims to stop traumatic deaths, that stem from a fear of talking about dying.

Biscuits decorated with skulls and crossbones and the phrase “R.I.P.” were sold at the event.

Wallace Stuart Funeral Directors were also in attendance, bringing with them a willow coffin made locally, and facilitating discussion.

The café is not a permanent fixture, but due to the success of the first event, another meeting is being planned for early Spetember.

What Steps Should You Take to Start the Whistle-Blowing Process?

The whistleblowing procedure is one that can seriously impact a profession as well as the security of one’s lifestyle. There can be lots of needs to go through with it. The most typical is to right view incorrectly. But you should beware before you start the procedure, because business, tasks, and incomes, might be at threat. Even your very own. It is a fragile legal matter that needs a fragile legal option. To start the procedure and effectively browse it, you will wish to follow the actions listed below. Neglecting them can be a significant problem in your life and profession. Following them will ensure you are safeguarded.

1. Contact a Lawyer

Do not opt for simply any lawyer. Some legal representatives have experience with divorce law, some with tort reform, some with criminal justice. Not all these professionals would be especially excellent prospects for you as a tax evasion whistleblower reward. Nevertheless, they deserve having a look at if they have experienced just like the one that you will be going through. An essential thing that you can do is utilize the totally free assessment that most lawyers supply, and use that time to question them about their past with the whistle blowing procedure. Likewise, it never ever injuries to listen. Lawyers wish to earn money, but they will not handle a lost cause, and they can offer you verification of your case ahead of time.

2. Complete the Proper Paperwork

With any legal action, there are types and documents to complete. Do not be reluctant to obtain yours to your lawyer, so you can speed up the whistle blowing procedure. At this moment, it is best to say absolutely nothing to anybody but your legal representation. You do not wish to threaten your case before it gets off the ground, so playthings near to the vest in between yourself and your lawyer.

3. Guarantee Your Very Own Defense

When blowing the whistle on a company or company, it is likewise essential to make sure that you are safeguarded. A lot of people, who turn to this practice, are just able to do so because they are close to the company and its practices in some way. It takes a lot of guts to mention things and call people or companies on it. Ensure that you are not breaking any laws while doing so.

4. Be Non-Reproachable

To have the most success blowing the whistle, it is very important not to be guilty of any misbehaviors yourself. Guilty people blow the whistle all the time and can do so in exchange for lighter penalty or resistance. Still, you remain in the very best position if you keep your hands clean of any doubtful practices to start with.

Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V Retail

Replacement:RTL-11112. The new version of the Pro Mini breaks out the ADC 6 and 7 pins! This page is for reference only.

It’s blue! It’s thin (0.8mm)! It’s the Arduino Pro Mini in retail packaging! SparkFun’s minimal design approach to Arduino. This is a 3.3V Arduino running the 8MHz bootloader (select ‘Arduino Duemilanove w/ 328’ within the Arduino software). Arduino Pro Mini does not come with connectors populated so that you can solder in any connector or wire with any orientation you need. We recommend first time Arduino users start with the Uno R3. It’s a great board that will get you up and running quickly. The Arduino Pro series is meant for users that understand the limitations of system voltage (3.3V), lack of connectors, and USB off board.

We really wanted to minimize the cost of an Arduino. The Arduino Pro Mini is like the Arduino Mini (same pin out) but to keep the cost low, we used all SMD components, made it two layer, etc. This board connects directly to the FTDI Basic Breakout board and supports auto-reset. The Arduino Pro Mini also works with the FTDI cable but the FTDI cable does not bring out the DTR pin so the auto-reset feature will not work.

Can’t decide which Arduino is right for you? Arduino buying guide!

  • ATmega328 running at 8MHz with external resonator (0.5% tolerance)
  • Low-voltage board needs no interfacing circuitry to popular 3.3V devices and modules (GPS, accelerometers, sensors, etc)
  • USB connection off board
  • Supports auto-reset
  • 3.3V regulator
  • Max 150mA output
  • Over current protected
  • Reverse polarity protected
  • DC input 3.3V up to 12V
  • On board Power and Status LEDs* 0.7x1.3" (18x33mm)
  • Less than 2 grams

  • If you’re dealing with clear LEDs, you can look inside the device. The cathode has a ‘large’ flat space on the end of it, where the LED semicondoctor is located. The anode ends in a point, and a small wire runs from the anode tip to the center of the LED die on the cathode.

  • How much abuse can these handle? For example, if I wanted to make a robot that rolls on rough terrain, or a really fast mini-tank?

  • Now, these two headers, could I hook up the Sparkfun 5v boost thingy up to one, and the Sparkfun LiPo charger up to the other? Regarding the charger, would I be able to run the device directly off of the charger input with this setup?

In this video, Dr Huntoon discusses what leads to asthma and what you need to consider.

Medication can sometimes seem like the right answer, except when it creates other problems.

Wouldn't getting rid of the CAUSE be more beneficial? Especially if there are no side-effects associated with the treatment?

Address Asthma Click Here

Asthma is a disorder that causes the airways of the lungs to swell and narrow, leading to wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing.

Also known as Bronchial asthma, Exercise-induced asthma, Pediatric asthma, and Work-related asthma

Most people with asthma have attacks separated by symptom-free periods. Some people have long-term shortness of breath with episodes of increased shortness of breath. Either wheezing or a cough may be the main symptom. Asthma attacks can last for minutes to days, and can become dangerous if the airflow is severely restricted.

Symptoms include:
     - Cough with or without sputum (phlegm) production
     - Pulling in of the skin between the ribs when breathing (intercostal retractions)
     - Shortness of breath that gets worse with exercise or activity
     - Wheezing

These symptoms may:
     - Come in episodes with symptom-free periods in between
     - Be worse at night or in early morning
     - Go away on its own
     - Get better when using drugs that open the airways (bronchodilators)
     - Get worse when breathing in cold air
     - Get worse with exercise
     - Get worse with heartburn (reflux)
     - Usually begin suddenly

Emergency symptoms:
     - Bluish color to the lips and face
     - Decreased level of alertness, such as severe drowsiness or confusion, during an asthma attack
     - Extreme difficulty breathing
     - Rapid pulse
     - Severe anxiety due to shortness of breath
     - Sweating
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:
     -Abnormal breathing pattern (breathing out takes more than twice as long as breathing in)
     -Breathing temporarily stops
     -Chest pain
     -Tightness in the chest

Asthma is caused by inflammation in the airways. This inflammation can be caused by airborne allergens included in the list below.

When an asthma attack occurs, the muscles surrounding the airways become tight and the lining of the air passages swells. This reduces the amount of air that can pass by. In sensitive people, asthma symptoms can be triggered by breathing in allergy-causing substances (called allergens or triggers).

Common asthma triggers include:
     - Animals (pet hair or dander)
     - Dust
     - Changes in weather (most often cold weather)
     - Chemicals in the air or in food
     - Exercise
     - Mold
     - Pollen
     - Respiratory infections, such as the common cold
     - Strong emotions (stress) called Emotional Asthma
     - Tobacco smoke
     - Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can provoke asthma in some patients.
     - Many people with asthma have a personal or family history of allergies, such as hay fever (allergic rhinitis) or eczema. Others have no history of allergies.

Read Dr. Huntoon's Alternative Medical Treatment Options below to continue understanding the CAUSE of Asthma.

Traditional Medical Treatment Options and Diagnosis

Medical treatments are used by most people when suffering from asthma. As with all medication, certain side-effects are known and others are not known. It is important to consider the side-effects and to do some research into the medication being prescribed to determine if the side-effects are worse than the symptoms associated with your asthma.

There are two basic kinds of medication for treating asthma:
     - Control drugs to prevent attacks
     - Quick-relief drugs for use during attacks
Control drugs for asthma control your symptoms if you don't have mild asthma. You must take them every day for them to work. Take them even when you feel okay.

The most common control drugs are:
      - Inhaled corticosteroids (such as Asmanex, Alvesco, Qvar AeroBid, Flovent, Pulmicort) prevent symptoms by helping to keep your airways from swelling up.

     - Long-acting beta-agonist inhalers also help prevent asthma symptoms.

Do not take long-acting beta-agonist inhaler drugs alone. These drugs are almost always used together with an inhaled steroid drug. It may be easier to use an inhaler that contains both drugs.

Other control drugs that may be used are:
     - Leukotriene inhibitors (such as Singulair and Accolate)
     - Omalizumab (Xolair)
     - Cromolyn sodium (Intal) or nedocromil sodium (Tilade)
     - Aminophylline or theophylline (rarely used anymore)

Quick-relief drugs work fast to control asthma symptoms, you take them when you are coughing, wheezing, having trouble breathing, or having an asthma attack. They are also called "rescue" drugs. They also can be used just before exercising to help prevent asthma symptoms that are caused by exercise.

Tell your doctor if you are using quick-relief medicines twice a week or more to control your asthma symptoms. Your asthma may not be under control, and your doctor may need to change your dose of daily control drugs.

Medicines Two Choices

Dr. Huntoon's Alternative Medical Treatment Options

The goal of medical treatment is to avoid the substances that trigger your symptoms and control airway inflammation. This can and does make life nearly impossible and very limiting for the individual and perhaps their family members as well.  You and your doctor should work together as a team to develop and carry out a plan for eliminating asthma triggers and monitoring symptoms.  It also does not address the actual cause of the asthma.

Dr. Huntoon has spent many hours understanding the mechanism that leads to an asthma attack.  By addressing the underlying Mechanisms of CAUSE(S) associated with YOUR Asthma, Dr. Huntoon has enabled hundreds of patients to never have this condition again.  Don't you want these RESULTS?

What Are Those Mechanisms?

The GI condition commonly known as “leaky gut syndrome” has been gaining a lot of attention lately for several reasons:

  1. A growing body of research has linked leaky gut to a number of “seemingly unrelated” health concerns and chronic diseases.
  2. As more Americans are affected by poor diet choices, chronic stress, toxic overload and bacterial imbalance, in addition to the Digestive System Disruptors, it appears that the prevalence of leaky gut has reached epidemic proportions.
  3. The medical profession is just now agreeing this condition even exists!  And your medical doctor may not be willing to acknowledge it.  This is the most important thing for you to realize.

This last point is especially shocking because “intestinal permeability” has been discussed in the medical literature for over 100 years!  And yet they do not acknowledge the existence of this condition since most of what causes it is due to prescription medication.

Leaky Gut Symptoms List

You would be surprised at how many health conditions result from having leaky gut. The father of modern medicine Hippocrates said “All disease begins in the Gut” and research is now proven he was absolutely right.

Essentially, Leaky Gut Syndrome (“intestinal hyper-permeability”) is condition that happens as a consequence of intestinal tight junction malfunction, secondarily to exposure to the Digestive System Disruptors, including antibiotics, over-the-counter medications, prescription medications, alcohol, stress, food additives, food preservatives and the ingestion of refined and processed sugar.  All of this will lead to problems in your microbiota which creates the basis for Leaky Gut Syndrome.

These “tight junctions” are the gateway between your intestines and what is allowed to pass into the blood stream.  Your tight junctions keep things out like toxinsmicrobes and undigested food particles.

But having leaky gut is essentially like having the gates broken from your intestines to your blood stream so many of these particles that should never have been able to enter have now gotten through.  When this happens it causes inflammation throughout your body leading to a variety of diseases.

According to a study published in a Norwegian medical journal this process “is implicated in the onset of disease include several acute and chronic pediatric conditions that are likely to have their origin during infancy” and has been linked to:

Associated with this condition is the counterpart to the Large Intestine, the Lungs and Skin.  The relationship, as given to us by the Chinese 5 Elements of Health Theory, has proven to be true for over 7000 years.  When one has the digestive Yeast/Candidia imbalance, with the consumption of dairy, each area, (the Large Intestine, the Lungs and the Skin), will begin to have issues with excess mucus that affects the permeability within each of these “filters” of the body.  Excess mucus in the lungs is the associated cause when dealing with Asthma.

Working with a Holistic Chiropractor, who has experience with eliminating the allergic response using specific techniques like NAET, NET, NMT or TBM has proven to be an effective elimination of the allergic response, essentially being a true cure.  Adjusting the areas of the spine with Chiropractic Manipulation that help to control the respiratory function to remove any interference within the Nervous System is also part of the solution.  You and your Holistic Chiropractor can determine the appropriate solution together.

For information on treating asthma in children, see: My Child's Health Asthma.

Having this condition is not fun at all. Being motivated to look for non-conventional forms of treatment is natural. Working with a Holistic Chiropractor will offer benefits, as using a well-rounded, multifaceted approach to address all the causes and imbalances within the person. This has demonstrated positive results when sticking to a specific treatment plan that results in a cure for the asthma.

Others have benefited by using Acupuncture, Homeopathy or Naturopathy when following the treatment guidelines set up by your practitioner and you. Discussing what is involved and the time commitment necessary to having a full recovery is warranted.

What to discuss with your doctor

The complications of asthma can be severe, some include:
     - Death
     - Decreased ability to exercise and take part in other activities
     - Lack of sleep due to nighttime symptoms
     - Permanent changes in the function of the lungs
     - Persistent cough
     - Trouble breathing that requires breathing assistance (ventilator)

Calling your health care provider

Call for an appointment with your healthcare provider if asthma symptoms develop.

Call your healthcare provider or go to the emergency room if:
      - An asthma attack requires more medication than recommended
     - Symptoms get worse or do not improve with treatment
     - You have shortness of breath while talking
     - Your peak flow measurement is 50% - 80% of your personal best

Go to the emergency room if the following symptoms occur:
     - Drowsiness or confusion
     - Severe shortness of breath at rest
     - A peak flow measurement is less than 50% of your personal best
     - Severe chest pain
     - Bluish color to the lips and face
     - Extreme difficulty breathing
     - Rapid pulse
     - Severe anxiety due to shortness of breath

Signs and tests

Allergy testing may be helpful to identify allergens in people with persistent asthma.

Common allergens include:
     - Cockroach allergens
     - Dust mites
     - Molds
     - Pet dander
     - Pollens
     - Common respiratory irritants include:
     - Fumes from burning wood or gas
     - Pollution
     - Tobacco smoke

The doctor will use a stethoscope to listen to the lungs. Asthma-related sounds may be heard. However, lung sounds are usually normal between asthma episodes.

Tests may include:
      - Arterial blood gas
     - Blood tests to measure eosinophil count (a type of white blood cell) and IgE (a type of immune system protein called an immunoglobulin)
     - Chest x-ray
     - Lung function tests
     Peak flow measurements

Quick-relief drugs include:

Short-acting bronchodilators (inhalers), such as Proventil, Ventolin, and Xopenex Your doctor might prescribe oral steroids (corticosteroids) when you have an asthma attack that is not going away. These are medicines that you take by mouth as pills, capsules, or liquid. Plan ahead. Make sure you do not run out of these medications.

A severe asthma attack requires a check-up by a doctor. You may also need a hospital stay, oxygen, breathing assistance, and medications given through a vein (IV).

Asthma Care at Home

Self-care skills that are important in taking care of your asthma are:
      - Know the asthma symptoms to watch out for
     - Know how to take your peak flow reading and what it means
     - Keep the phone number of your child's doctor or nurse with you.
     - Know which triggers make your asthma worse and what to do when this happens.

Children with asthma need a lot of support at school. They may need help from school staff to keep their asthma under control and to be able to do school activities.

Asthma action plans are written documents for anyone with asthma. An asthma action plan should include:
      - A plan for taking asthma medications when your condition is stable
      - A list of asthma triggers and how to avoid them
     - How to recognize when your asthma is getting worse, and when to call your doctor or nurse
     - A peak flow meter is a simple device to measure how quickly you can move air out of your lungs.
     - It can help you see if an attack is coming, sometimes even before any symptoms appear. Peak flow measurements can help show when medication is needed, or other action needs to be taken.
     - Peak flow values of 50% - 80% of a specific person's best results are a sign of a moderate asthma attack, while values below 50% are a sign of a severe attack.

Prevention and Quick Tips

Support Groups

You can often ease the stress caused by illness by joining a support group, where members share common experiences and problems. See: Asthma and allergy - support group

Expectations (prognosis)

There is no cure for asthma from a medical perspective, although symptoms sometimes improve over time. With proper self management and medical treatment, most people with asthma can lead normal lives. Being mindful of the side-effects associated with your medical treatment is important. Discussing alternative forms of care that have no side-effects is important to consider.

Dr. Huntoon has spent many hours understanding the mechanism that leads to an asthma attack.  By addressing the underlying CAUSE(S) associated with YOUR Asthma, Dr. Huntoon has enabled hundreds of patients to never have this condition again.  Don't you want these RESULTS?

Working with a Holistic Chiropractor, Acupuncturist, Homeopath or Naturopath, natural solutions to asthma can be instituted and the person can recover from asthma fully. This requires a commitment to the care necessary to restore normal function within the person’s respiratory system and within their body to allow for full recovery.

You can reduce asthma symptoms by avoiding known triggers and substances that irritate the airways.

Cover bedding with "allergy-proof" casings to reduce exposure to dust mites.

Remove carpets from bedrooms and vacuum regularly.

Use only unscented detergents and cleaning materials in the home.

Keep humidity levels low and fix leaks to reduce the growth of organisms such as mold.

Keep the house clean and keep food in containers and out of bedrooms -- this helps reduce the possibility of cockroaches, which can trigger asthma attacks in some people.

If a person is allergic to an animal that cannot be removed from the home, the animal should be kept out of the bedroom. Place filtering material over the heating outlets to trap animal dander.

Eliminate tobacco smoke from the home. This is the single most important thing a family can do to help a child with asthma. Smoking outside the house is not enough. Family members and visitors who smoke outside carry smoke residue inside on their clothes and hair -- this can trigger asthma symptoms.

Persons with asthma should also avoid air pollution, industrial dusts, and other irritating fumes as much as possible.

Medicines Two Choices for You

Your Solution

Dr. Huntoon has experience with eliminating the allergic response using specific techniques like NAET, NET, NMT or TBM.  This has proven to be an effective elimination of the allergic response, thus being a true cure.  Adjusting the areas of the spine with Chiropractic Manipulation that help to control the respiratory function to remove any interference within the Nervous System is also part of the solution.  You and your Holistic Chiropractor can determine the appropriate solution together.

Working with a Holistic Chiropractor who takes a well rounded approach to discovering and correcting all your known and unknown triggers, is warranted. By working with you to improve the functioning of your respiratory system and strengthening your immune system will greatly reduce the incidences of asthma and will eliminate asthma altogether.

Developing a healthy life-style with proper guidance from your Holistic Chiropractor is the best prevention when considering how to approach your health.

Born in Hong Kong, Kenneth Bi graduated with honors in Theatre/Film from Brock University, Canada. He has written, acted in, and directed numerous theatre and film productions in Canada and Hong Kong. His feature film debut Rice Rhapsody won several prestigious awards. This statement is from the Film Movement press kit for his second feature, The Drummer.

"In December of 2000, I saw a performance in Hong Kong by a drumming troupe from Taiwan that changed my view of life completely. Not one word was spoken throughout the entire performance, yet they seemed to have spoken volumes. In the two and half hours of drumming, they exuded a graceful energy of inner calm that was extremely powerful. Merely a few minutes into the performance, the audience realized that they were watching men and women who have truly made sacrifices for their art.

"I learned that the troupe of twelve men and women train and practice at the top of a mountain in Taiwan. In the idyllic setting of the mountain, they practice Tai Chi, martial arts, meditation, and drumming. Initially there was no electricity, running water or transportation up the peak, so only those who were absolutely determined and committed had the mental and physical stamina to remain in the group.

"Greatly inspired and affected by their performance, I made my journey up the mountain to meet them, interview them and to witness people who were willing to take the long road in today’s world of ease and convenience. One of the drummers said, without pretension, 'If you drum for one week, you will have one week’s worth of skill. If you drum for three years, you will have three years worth of skill. There is no short cut.'

In interviewing them, I found them to be sincere, passionate and open-minded. They were a group of people with diverse backgrounds. Most were local Taiwanese and Taiwanese aborigines, a couple hailed from Malaysia, and a few came from Hong Kong. After researching their philosophies and daily routines, I began writing The Drummer. My last few scripts had been comedies and in The Drummer I found myself preoccupied in a serious subject matter.

"I began looking at different aspects of myself and how they collided with one another. The animal in me colliding with my rational self, and the philosophical thrusting against my emotional side. Which one of these aspects defines us and how do we come to terms with all our different facets? Even if we find peace in a peaceful place, it seems that nirvana is elusive and we can never truly be in a state of perfect happiness because the next trial to test us is always around the corner. The Drummer, therefore, is one such journey of self-discovery."

• "God created time and God created plenty of it," goes an Irish proverb. So why are we so concerned about how much time we have (or don't have), what to do with our time, and how to get more time for what's important to us? Perhaps the first step toward understanding our relationship to time is to reflect upon its many meanings. Here are some quotations to get you started.
    "Our uneasiness and our frantic scrambling are caused by our distorted sense of time, which seems to be continuously running out. Western culture reinforces this conception of time as a limited commodity. We are always meeting deadlines; we are always short of time, we are always running out of time."
    — Brother David Steindl-Rast in The Music of Silence
  • "The more you think and worry about time, the more you will be controlled by it, and the faster it will appear to pass. The less you concern yourself with time, the freer you become, and there is always plenty of time."
    — Scott Shaw in Zen O'clock: Time to Be
  • "We live in a culture in which the clock has become not only a tool of social coordination, but of domination. It can be seen as the principal religious symbol of the secular age."
    — Jim Forest in Praying With Icons
  • "The Kairos moments are the defining moments in our lives, the moments of new insight, of deeper understanding — moments when everything changes. Kairos times are the times in our lives when we can see the hand of God at work."
    — Bonnie Thurston in To Everything a Season
  • "Time for the Christian is then the sphere of his spontaneity, a sacramental gift in which he can allow his freedom to deploy itself in joy."
    — Thomas Merton in To Everything a Season by Bonnie Thurston
  • "The highest goal of spiritual living is not to amass a wealth of information, but to face sacred moments. Spiritual life begins to decay when we fail to sense the grandeur of what is eternal in time."
    — Abraham Heschel in The Sabbath
  • "In our culture, time can be seen as an enemy: it chews us up and spits us out with appalling ease. But the monastic perspective welcomes time as a gift from God, and seeks to put it to good use rather than allowing us to be used up by it."
    — Kathleen Norris in The Cloister Walk
  • "Liturgical time is essentially poetic time, oriented toward process rather than productivity, willing to wait attentively in stillness rather than always pushing to get the job done."
    — Kathleen Norris in The Cloister Walk
  • "The Japanese tradition regards the tea ceremony as an opportunity to turn inward and embark on a path of enlightenment. Western observers see it as a way to sharpen the senses and heighten their perception of time."
    — Stefan Klein in The Secret Pulse of Time
  • "Relax and enter into a timeless zone; nowhere to go, nothing to do, free of scheduling and appointments, free of past and future thoughts and memories and plans. Simply and attentively present, you are cultivating newness-awareness."
    — Lama Surya Das in Buddha Standard Time
  • "My Time Guide is a tango dancer, the epitome of a helpful partner.
    She can't dance without me, and I can't dance without her.
    It takes two to tango; it takes two to design the dance of time."
    — Marney K. Makridakis in Creating Time
  • "Sacred time is devoted to the heart, to the self, to others, to eternity. Sacred time is not measured in minutes, hours or days."
    — Gary Eberle in Sacred Time and The Search for Meaning
  • "Time is deeper and stranger than anything else in our lives, it takes everything with it, nothing is bigger than time, nothing survives its power."
    — Jacob Needleman in Time and Soul
  • "Every tragedy we can imagine comes back to just one: time slipping by."
    — Simone Weil in The Art of Time by Jean-Louis Servan-Schreiber
  • "It is in childhood that we are most profoundly, naturally, and intimately involved with time."
    — Jean-Louis Servan Schreiber in The Art of Time
  • "We cannot summon the future, we cannot remake the past. The present moment is the unfinished house in which we dwell."
    — Philip Simmons in Learning to Fall

Optimization Techniques Assignment Help

The Optimization Techniques work in discovering the optimal solution or unconstrained optimums or minima of differentiable and constant functions. Optimization techniques are created to supply the ‘best’ values of system design and operating policy variables– values that will cause the greatest levels of system efficiency.

In contrast, maximization indicates attempting to achieve the greatest or optimal outcome or result without regard to cost or expenditure. Practice of optimization is limited by the absence of complete details, and the absence of time to assess exactly what info is offered.

In computer system simulation (modeling) of company issues, optimization is attained typically by utilizing linear shows techniques of operations research study.

The classical approaches have actually restricted scope in useful applications as a few of them include unbiased functions, which are differentiable and/or not constant. The research study of these classical techniques of optimization form a basis for establishing many of the mathematical techniques, /which have actually developed into sophisticated techniques more appropriate to today’s useful issues.

Optimization techniques are an effective set of tools that are essential in effectively handling a business’s resources and therefore, optimizing investor wealth.

To fix issues, scientists might utilize algorithms that end in a limited variety of actions, or iterative approaches that assemble  a solution (on some defined class of issues), or heuristics that might supply approximate solutions to some issues (although their iterates require not assemble).

Electrical Engineering

Some typical applications of optimization techniques in electrical engineering consist of active filter design, roaming field decrease in superconducting magnetic energy storage systems, area mapping design of microwave structures, handset antennas, and electro-magnetic design.

Operations Research Study

Another field that utilizes optimization techniques thoroughly is operations research study. Operations research study likewise utilizes stochastic modeling and simulation to support enhanced decision-making. Progressively, operations research study utilizes stochastic shows to design vibrant choices that adjust to events; such issues can be fixed with massive optimization and stochastic optimization approaches.

Optimization techniques are routinely utilized in geophysical specification evaluation issues. Provided a set of geophysical measurements, e.g. seismic recordings, it prevails to fix for the physical homes and geometrical shapes of the underlying fluids and rocks.

An optimization issue includes optimizing or reducing a genuine function by methodically picking input values from within an enabled set and calculating the value of the function. The generalization of optimization theory and techniques to other solutions consists of a big field of used mathematics.

More usually, optimization consists of discovering “best readily available” values of some unbiased function provided a specified domain (or input), consisting of a range of various kinds of unbiased functions and various kinds of domains.

Optimization is the procedure to enhance the important things in order to enhance them. Due to the fact that of the requirement of an effective and decision making technique throughout the creating of a system, there is requirement of optimization. Optimization approaches describe the techniques that can be utilized for the procedure of optimization.

The optimization techniques need numerous aspects. These components consist of unbiased function, predictive design, and variables.

There are 2 types of optimization approaches that are constrained optimization and unconstrained optimization. The method that can be utilized for the constrained optimization is lagrangian multipliers to discover the ideal value of the function, which is Optimization Methods to equality restrictions.

Optimization can be attained by a wide array of algorithms. The majority of these optimization techniques utilize several models. These principles are fundamental and lay the structure for students resolving optimization concerns; they can be intricate at times.
