The form and function of the traditional locking mechanism is under assault by the future. While the core usage of a lock is likely to remain the same, new models are popping up on the market, technologically superior devices outfitted with digital technology.
The Hybrid Locking Mechanism
A client can opt to stick with the traditional key and lock model of entry, but add an additional layer of digital security. A weatherproof keypad, lighting up for the user to enter an entry code, sits alongside the standard lock to offer greater flexibility and access control. The system could change the entry code every week, or the head of the family could assign a personalized access code for each member of the family, perhaps giving out guest codes that expire after a set period.
Part of the Smart Home
A locksmith is expected to match time-honored knowledge of locking mechanisms with network expertise. The latest generation of locks come as either keyed or key less models. They use Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity to hook the access system to the home network, whereupon the smart home can access other subsystems, turning on hallway lighting, drive lights, and even accessing environmental controls to turn on the heating for when the family arrives home.
Virtual Locks Over Traditional Locks
While the tumblers and pins of a high-quality lock aren't about to be replaced overnight, the new options offered by technology are creating a stir with tech-savvy consumers. Thanks to mobile devices, a virtual key can be created and assigned to a smartphone, and then be forwarded to other family members. Without ever removing the pocketed smartphone, the home access system digitally identifies the arriving family member by recognizing the virtual key stored in an App.
The Advantages of Modular Wireless Security
One of the primary advantages of this new technology is the nod to mobile tech, the inclusion of wireless engineering that means no wires are required when installing the lock. Locksmiths simply fit the lock in the same way as any traditional mechanism, fitting the cylinder, outer casing, and engaging the locking mechanism. Digital connectivity, the same tech used in mobile devices, then allows a locksmith to effortlessly extend the access system, adding internet cameras and additional locks without ever needing to resort to wiring. It's an attractive feature, knowing security can be altered without being tied to wires and having to drill holes, cutting channels in walls. The network then accepts the new additions with a simple change of a software configuration routine.
Practical Considerations
Looking inside the new generation of locks, a locksmith can quickly point out all of the familiar parts, but there's additions. Those additions come in the shape of motorized drives, wireless circuitry for interfacing the lock to the home network, and a power assembly that's likely accompanied by a set of batteries. Thanks to low power components courtesy of the mobile device industry, to low power Bluetooth and computer wizardry, the batteries will last for extended periods. Note, those same components can easily be configured to send a notification of some kind to a cell phone, warning the homeowner or the local locksmith of the need for new batteries. The same mobile communications tech also informs the cell phone of security events, of intruders and unexpected arrivals. Imagine being able to take control of the lock from work, opening the door from a smartphone with a touch.
Hybrid locks allow users to slowly adapt to the new tech, while key less entry means embracing entirely new forms of access.

In a career spanning more than 40 years, Jimmy Hansen drew thousands of pages for British comics, working on strips such as The Bumpkin Billionaires, Ricky Rainbow, P5, a stint on Dennis the Menace, and Buster amongst others. He was the cover artist on Buster for the last several years of the comic, bringing a great sense of energy and fun to the strip, as he did with all his pages.
In more recent times, he contributed the sci-fi strip Slash Moron to Aces Weekly, which he worked on with Bambos Georgiou and John Burns.
Tributes are starting to come in from people who knew and worked with him, remarking on his professionalism and friendliness. He was one of the top humour artists in the business whose work entertained countless readers over the decades.
My condolences to James' family and friends on their loss.
Here's a small selection of pages by the artist...

Singer/guitarist Steph Johnson is an award-winning, multi-dimensional recording artist whose music deftly blends jazz, soul, funk and blues. She's a captivating performer whose engaging smile is complemented by a lush and distinctive voice.
Steph's most recently released album, Music is Art, was produced and arranged by Grammy Award-winner Kamau Kenyatta. Her soon-to-be-released So in Love is a jazz album featuring pianist Josh Nelson (Natalie Cole), guitarist Anthony Wilson (Diana Krall), trumpeter Chris Lawrence (Melody Gardot), husband/bassist Rob Thorsen and drummer Richard Sellers.
She burst onto the music scene after winning the San Diego Magazine Songwriter Award, and has received a San Diego Music Award for Best Jazz Album. Steph also performs at a Saturday night residency at the Westgate Hotel in downtown San Diego.
Growing up, Steph was influenced by her grandmother's favorite singers: Ike and Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder; and by the '70s icons beloved by her mother, including James Taylor and Joni Mitchell. Steph discovered jazz through Miles Davis' classic album, Kind of Blue, which led her to the great female jazz vocalists: Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughn.
Jazz critic Robert Bush wrote that Steph's "…core strength is as a communicator with rhythmic depth and smoky, pliant power…her sweet yearning vocal really soars."
Her recording career has taken a back seat in recent years to social activism. Steph co-founded and is now Executive Director and Music Director of the Voices of Our City Choir, whose members are experiencing homelessness. The choir is a nonprofit that provides community and case management and has helped find housing for 50 of its 250 members.
Voices of Our City is an inspirational musical ensemble that has garnered plenty of headlines. The choir has been the focus of a documentary "The Homeless Chorus Speaks" that aired nationally on PBS stations. The group has performed with the San Diego Symphony, and opened a benefit concert at the historic Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles on a bill that featured Jason Mraz and founding members of the Doors.
Steph has been recognized as one of San Diego CityBeat's People of the Year. She was also named 2020 Woman of the Year by San Diego Assemblymember Todd Gloria.

Tomorrow, I plan on opening all of the windows and airing out the house, change all of the pillow cases and wash all of the throws. Mop all of the floors and disinfect all of the door knobs and counter tops. Spray everything down with Lysol and try to get rid of whatever we keep catching!
In the meantime, here's my recipe for Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup. This soup is so good! It's a little more elaborate than just plain chicken soup - the evaporated milk makes it very creamy - you can use skim evaporated milk if you want to. I wish I had a picture to show you, it's heavenly!
Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
2 cans chicken broth (14oz) I usually end up doubling this amount. Sometimes I use a box of chicken stock.
1 T chicken bouillon (or 2 cubes)
1 c. carrots, chopped
1 c. celery, chopped
1/2 med onion, chopped
16 oz. noodles, homestyle egg pasta (Country Pasta) or the frozen noodles or homemade if you are feeling ambitious! I have even used egg noodles.
1 1/2 lbs cooked, cooled, chopped chicken breast or 1 chicken cooked and cooled, bone and skin removed
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 12oz can evaporated milk
Boil the broth, bouillon, carrots, celery and onion for 20 minutes, or until tender. Add noodles and boil for another 10 minutes. (I actually cook the noodles first while the vegetables are boiling, so the noodles don't soak up all of the broth, but I do cook the noodles with a bouillon cube so they get some flavor. And then I add them.) Then add chicken, cream of chicken soup and canned milk. Heat thoroughly. Add pepper to taste.
Stay healthy! Blessings, Barb

Refinitiv data format
The Refinitiv platform provides the following types of data: market (pricing), charting, and news. The TREP adapter transforms this data into DataSource packets for the Caplin Platform.
Pricing data
Pricing data is provided in three domains:
Market Price (MP)
Market by Order/Order Book (MBO)
Market by Price/Market Depth (MBP)
To request a particular domain for a symbol the abbreviation must be prepended to the RIC with a colon (
: ) as shown below.
|Caplin record types
Market Price (MP)
Type 1 record
Market by Order (MBO)
Type 1 records with containing sumary data, and Type 2 records containing market data levels.
Market by Price (MBP)
Type 1 records containing summary data, and Type 2 records containing market data levels.
† Market Price is the default domain so it's not necessary to use "MP" when requesting for that domain.
Records that contain financial market data are identified by a Refinitiv Instrument Code (RIC). The RIC comprises a ticker symbol optionally followed by a period and an exchange code. For example,
IBM.N is the RIC for the real-time price of IBM ordinary shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
Charting data
The TREP Adapter supplies historical charting data in TS1 format.
To use the TS1 charting data with Caplin's Charting service blade for Transformer, you must first deploy Caplin's TS1 Decoder service blade for Transformer. The TS1 Decoder blade converts the TS1 binary data into data that the Charting service blade can consume.
For a list of Caplin supplied blades, see Caplin supplied blades.
News data
News data is delivered as records consisting of fields. Because news data requires different processing than financial data, DataSource allows you to identify news items by specifying their particular symbols or record names.
A news item consists of two parts: the headline and the story. Stories are generally longer than the headline, and transmitted in segments. You can configure how these segments are stored in DataSource and how they are sent to their destinations, which can help in fine-tuning the performance of DataSource.

This is the real reason crumpets have holes in them...
- Publish Date
- Tuesday, 20 February 2018, 3:12PM
Crumpets are a classic treat but they are notoriously difficult to make at home because of the crucial bubbles that need to form on top.
But now the Food Unwrapped series in the UK has revealed why there are holes in crumpets and how they are formed - which could make it easier to cook them in your own kitchen.
It turns out that the bubbles form during the vital fermentation process, and they need to then be cooked in a very specific way on a hot plate in order for the distinctive holes to appear and rise to the surface.
READ MORE: • Here's how to make the PERFECT stir fry according to a top chef.
Visiting a Warburtons Family Bakery factory in north London, presenter Kate Quilton discovered that a crumpet's bubbles form after the batter has been made, during the fermentation.
Manufacturing manager Vas Nicolouzos couldn't reveal the secret to how long the batter needs to ferment for, but most recipes suggest proving it twice for about two hours, until it becomes frothy.
More importantly, the batter needs to ferment and prove in a very warm place, at about 40 degrees Celsius, in order to form bubbles.
The next stage is to cook crumpets on deep, individual hot plates, which causes the bubbles to expand.
Steam from the bottom of the plate then shoots up through the batter, pushing the bubbles to the surface and creating a crumpet's iconic holes.
Nicolouzos told Quilton: 'The heat of the hot plate [causes] the bubbles to expand, and the steam generated behind it pushes the bubbles up through the batter.
"What you get is a chimney effect. Steam pushing the bubbles up causes the flutes which makes the holes in your crumpet."

The development of Highland Cemetery started to take shape in early December 1868. The inspiration for a new cemetery was due in part because the Old Sixth Street Graveyard in Covington was filled, and Covington's Linden Grove Cemetery had very few plots available. There are many prominent and historical people buried at Highland, with Civil War veterans and dedicated citizens of our tri-state area. The cemetery grew larger than first expected. It became one of Kentucky's largest non-profit cemeteries.
In 1917, the chapel and receiving tomb were destroyed by fire. All that remained was the archway above the front door. Rebuilding of the chapel started immediately and was complete by the end of 1917. The chapel was last used for services in 1947. It is unknown why it was used for storage at this time. Then in the early 1950's, it was reopened for services. To this day it is used for committals and visitations.
Highland Cemetery now has 250 acres, with over 47,000 burials. There is over 150 acres not yet surveyed for burial sites. Families can be assured that many generations of their families can be together at Highland Cemetery.
As wells a placid resting place, Highland Cemetery stands as a history lesson spread over 250 verdant, rolling acres. Highland has been a burial place since 1869, and the tombstones, tombs and crypts are lasting monuments to many who contributed to the development and lore of Northern Kentucky.
- Some, such as Congressional Medal of Honor winner Calvary M. Young, (Section 12, Lot 43), and industrialist Amos Shinkle, (Section 1, Lots 6-11), are recognized as heroes of the past, while others, like a man shot to death by a future governor, and a still unidentified murder victim in the Kenton County Burial Grounds, made sensational gossip and headlines during their respective eras.
- For people with a zest and appreciation for history, Highland Cemetery indeed holds something of interest for everyone. Military history abounds. The cemetery includes the graves of veterans of the battles of the Civil War, to those who participated in more recent conflicts. Among them are Calvary Young, who won fame as a Union Sergeant fighting in the Kansas-Missouri Theater, and Confederate General James Morrison Hawes (Section 4, Lot 21).
- There is also Eli Bruce (Section 2, Lot 142) who was a member of the Confederate Congress, and Henry Thomas Harrison (Section 18, Gr. 207), a Confederate spy, whom some contend provided information leading to the Battle of Gettysburg.
- Numerous among Northern Kentucky's civic, business and political leaders of the late 19th and early 20 Centuries served in the Civil War, in both the Union and Confederate Armies. Civil War sentiment carried over into the decades following, and is at least in part responsible for one other event, the death of John L. Sandford (Section 5, Lot 6). Sandford, a Confederate sympathizer, died in 1895 after an exchange of gunfire with William Goebel on a Covington street. Five years later Goebel was elected Kentucky governor and assassinated.
- Goebel is buried in Frankfort, but several members of his family, including his father, William Goebel (Section 8, Lot 14) are in Highland Cemetery.
- In yet another Civil War era tie, Archibald Gaines (Section 3, Lot 21), was depicted as a slaveholder in a recent book and television movie of the same name, "Beloved".
- Military heroes buried at Highland include Robert Dimmitt Johnson (Section 5, Lot 173), a highly decorated Marine, who was killed in action in France during World War I. Johnson Elementary School in Fort Thomas is named in his honor.
- Section 11, once segregated by racial restrictions of the times, contains the graves of several "buffalo soldiers", African-Americans who served in the U.S. Army in the West during the latter decades of the 19thCentury. The term, apparently applied by the Indians, referred to the buffalo ropes worn by some soldiers, as well as their hair. Among those who later lived in this area and are buried in Section 11, are John Blackwell (Grave 255) and Samuel Josey (a 10th Calvary veteran, with a tombstone but no gravesite number recorded).
- A number of Cold War soldiers are also buried in Highland, including Robert C. Von Luehrte (Section 19, Lot 74) who died in a plane crash while participating in the Berlin Airlift
- The graves of politicians and officeholders, some dating back to the 19th Century and others of more modern times, abound in the cemetery. Among them are Mortimer Murray Benton (Section 1, Lot 79-82), who was Covington's first mayor; George Gilvin Perkins (Section 4, Lot 291), a Kenton Circuit Judge: Richard P. Ernst (Section 5, Lot 49), a United States Senator and namesake of the YMCA 's Camp Ernst; John F. Fisk (Section 1, Private Mausoleum), a speaker of the Kentucky Senate; Joseph Rhinos (Section 5, Lot 163), a Covington Mayor and Congressman; James Simpson (Section 25, Lot 138-A), Covington's first African-American City Commissioner, and Oriel Ware (Section 20, Lot 28), a U.S. Congressman.
- Others from more recent times are Virginia Chapman (Section 27, Lot 242), longtime Chairman of the Covington Board of Education, and Gil Kingsbury (Section 27, Lot 210), a radio newsman, state representative and state official.
- Media notables include Cincinnati Enquirer Editor Brady Black (Section 10-A, Lot 594), and Margaret Paschke (Section 3, Lot 12), Women's Editor of the Kentucky Post.
- Among show business personalities buried at Highland are Una Merkel (Section 14, Lot 65), a star of the Broadway stage and motion pictures, and Betty Jack Davis (Section 3, Lot 2), the singing partner of country music's Skeeter Davis. Fred Schoolfield (Section 10, Lot 32), was known as Northern Kentucky's poet laureate.
- Those from the art world include Dixie Selden (Section 14, Lot 131), whose paintings are displayed at the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Kenton County Library.
- Horseracing is such an important part of Kentucky, and Highland Cemetery contains the grave of Jerome Respess (Section 1, Lot 21), the owner of the 1909 Kentucky Derby winner, Wintergreen.
- Men of the cloth, or with ties to religious endeavors, include Dr. James Davis (Section 10, Lot 34), a World War I veteran, college professor and men's Bible instructor at Covington's First Presbyterian Church, and Willard Wade (Section B, Building 1, Crypt 32, Level 2), who directed the Covington YMCA for many years.
- Graves of business and professional leaders bound, including brewer William Riedlin (Section 5, Lot 133), and engineer O.G. Loomis (Section 42, Lot 5). Loomis is credited as being a leader in locating what is now Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport south of the Ohio River.
- There are oddities in the cemetery, including a life size likeness of the deceased, atop the tomb of J.D. Shutt (Section 5, Lot 10-11), who was a businessman, banker and state representative. Bradford Shinkle (Section 1, Lot 6-11), the son of Amos Shinkle, reportedly feared being buried alive and asked that at the time of his death a guard be posted at his casket for several days. The request was carried out for 11 days.
- Highland Cemetery has its mysteries. In the Kenton County Burial Grounds section is the grave of a woman, whose body was found in Devou Park in 1924. She had been shot to death, and the remains were never identified. There are graves of others who died violently or mysteriously, including Harvey Myers (Section 4, Lot 291), a lawyer and politician, who was shot to death in his law office in 1874 by the husband of a woman he represented in a divorce case.
- The cemetery includes the graves of at least 50 people who died during the influenza epidemic of 1918.

UX Design
I work with creative agencies and brand owners on user experience, customer experience and service design. People often ask what the difference is. They involve similar skills and often overlap, but they tend to focus on different parts of the user journey.
User experience is often about looking at specific functionality such as a booking system.
Service design is the design and implementation of interactions that occur throughout the customer journey eg. phoning a call centre.
And customer experience is how your customers perceive their interactions with your business.
Getting them right is the difference between a successful revenue generating product and a product that struggles to attract and keep customers.
If you are a design agency you might consider my services if...
You've taken on a project that's bigger than you are
You need help with a complex component of a project
You need fresh, alternative thinking on a project
You need help with materials and visuals to help you win a pitch
Over 100 completed projects and 20 years experience in user-focussed design for online businesses

Will Derek Jeter Be A Unanimous Hall Of Fame Selection In 2020?
Whether he goes in unanimously is another matter. Halladay, an ace with the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies , got 85.4 percent and will be the first posthumous inductee since Deacon White in 2013 and Ron Santo in 2012. Further down the road, 2022 represents a whole other can of worms in the form of Alex Rodriguez, whose candidacy might somehow be even murkier than that of Bonds or Clemens.
PSG lose injured Neymar in French Cup win
However, Moussa Diaby came on as a substitute in the 62nd minute and Neymar was in tears as he made his way down the tunnel. Neymar had fractured the same metatarsal last February and required surgery that effectively ended his club campaign.
Christopher Nkunku: Arsenal in talks to sign Paris St-Germain midfielder
The Real Betis centre back has reportedly been recommended to the club's hierarchy by Emery, but the 27-year-old has a €30m (£28m) buyout clause which may detract Arsenal from signing the Algeria worldwide. There is simply too much competition for places at the Nou Camp, with Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic, Arthur, Arturo Vidal, Philippe Coutinho and Carles Alena all vying to start.
Pouille: Perfect Djokovic was too good
Novak Djokovic's attempted Aussie accent was a shocker. Should he prevail Sunday and land a record seventh Australian Open crown, Djokovic would move to within two majors of Nadal. He has had some big scalps. When he challenged it, and a replay confirmed his shot was good, chair umpire Nico Helwerth ordered a replay of the point.
Man United have their club back - Scholes revels in Solskjaer revival
While talking to the Manchester United matchday programme, a re-energized Ander Herrera has revealed what has changed in the dressing room under Solskjaer . Laurent Koscielny will have benefited from another week of training and if Arsenal are to go through, their new-look centre-half partnership has to hold firm.
Eden Hazard will not join Manchester United if Zidane signs for them
However, he refused to move from London to Manchester even if we are managed by former Real Madrid man Zidane . I have always said that I wanted to explore something different after England. " I didn't only frustrate Conte ", he said. [Jose] Mourinho, I frustrated him. "But there are things that could make me stay too". "Now the same thing happens with [ Maurizio] Sarri as they think that I need to score more goals , to do more and more, so I guess I will also frustrate my next coach".

- Birthday 10/11/1987
Have a Merry Christmas, everyone!
Server is back up; I fixed w/e it was @ Grag's by removing spawned item entities in the area; don't know where they were to see what was causing it, but it's fixed for now. Please convo me here on the forums if it goes down again. ~Epy
oh WTF ...why are there 26,000 entities at Grag and Fluff's place???? Great... Also, who added a World Anchor today? There are now 4 compared to the 3 last night/this morning...
Server back online; what happened to take it back down again? was Grag online?
Server is back up; sending me PM is quickest way to get it back online. I don't know about grag's issue but I haven't changed/fixed anything there. ~Epy
It's been moved near spawn and the spawn Christmas tree. BTW V00, can I say how much I LOVE it? hahaha! I tried cleaning it up a bit, but you might want to take a look at it. Also, I just copied it over, so the original is still at your place if you need to reference it. Looks like it came out fine. Let me know what you think and let me know if/when you need me to help some more. ~Epy
Btw folks; we know that you're all going to be online less over the holidays, so you don't have to let us know Enjoy the holidays and we'll see you when we see you! <3
Yeah mate, that's fine; thanks for letting us know :D
Yes we are, we're just slow and behind on them at the moment. Sorry if it's taking so long (lots of applications); we ask that you be patient and we'll get to you! If you'd like to get on sooner, feel free to send me a PM here on the forums with a detailed/longer message and I'll look into it! ~Epy (Admin)
eh....1 month in cast, then into a walking cast xD Ah well!
Sorry I've been away for a few days guys; got into a motorcycle accident (low speed, 10 mph) and i've chipped my left ankle bone. so yay for crutches and a cast that i HAVE to keep elevated or it swells pretty good. I'll be hopping online more often as I get settled, but figured I'd at least give you guys an update. ~Epy
Right in front of them; have witnesses. Also, I left out how he was responding to people in chat and obviously liking how he made them react when he broke their stuff.
He is now permanently banned and reported as a griefer on minecraft banning sites. He was destroying land and people's property, including right in front of them. If anyone has issues with this, you can PM me, but GoodLuck if you're hoping to get an appeal on this decision. ~Epy Server Admin
That's the Server owner and main whitelist guy; there ya go. Also, I'm sorry the server's gotten a little out of hand; I was out-of-town for three days and didn't have access to be able to restart it and such.
How do you normaly close tekkit and log off? Do you hit Disconnect on the menu, or do you usually just "x" the window closed? If you usually just close the window, you might have corrupted your server login file like Silver did the other week; I can fix that by deleting your login file on the server, but you'll lose your spawn and your current inventory (if you use alch bags, those will retain their inventories thank goodness). If you think that is the case, let me know and I can do that for you (I'll backup that file just in case that's not it). ~Epy

Queenstown Airport is forecasting a 13 percent increase in flight capacity through its peak winter period.
The airport, owned by Queenstown Lakes District Council and Auckland International Airport, says additional flights being offered by Qantas and Jetstar will help increase the total number of available seats by 176,234 in the six months through September.
The biggest increases are in July, August and September at 16, 18 and 17 percent respectively, the company says. Scheduled international capacity for the six months will be 29 percent higher than a year ago, while domestic capacity will be 6 percent higher.
Queenstown Airport at Frankton is controlled by the district council. It handled 2.28 million passenger arrivals and departures in the year through February, 11 percent more than a year earlier. About 72 percent were domestic travellers. Auckland airport has a 25 percent stake in the company.
The resort town on Lake Wakatipu remains one of the fastest growing tourism destinations in New Zealand. It is also one of the country's fastest-growing communities, with the council expecting the number of households to almost double to 37,770 by 2048. That could require a billion dollar of infrastructure spending during the next decade.
Queenstown Airport is reviewing its own plans for expansion after local residents opposed a potential doubling of annual passenger movements to 5.1 million by 2045. The corporation was last year granted a 100-year lease over Wanaka airport – about 80 kilometres north-east of Queenstown. It has also undertaken to work with Invercargill and Dunedin airports on joint initiatives, including regional tourism strategy.
The company is picking its winter peaks this year will be from Monday, July 8 through to Sunday, July 21. Daily flights – arrivals and departures – will average 63 during that period, up from 56 in the week ended July 15 last year.
In that week the airport handled about 53,000 passenger movements. The company is forecasting about 60,000 movements in the peak weeks this year.

text: Ghostbase 865 #1 Posted April 6, 2019 Still a few weeks left on this GB and I would like to join in with a blast from the past, 1979 to be exact, the ESCI 1/48th scale North American F-86F Sabre operated by the Spanish Ejercito Del Aire from 1955 onwards. Last year was a bad year for me modelling mojo wise, am currently wrestling with the Kitty Hawk RF-101C Voodoo and I just want something straightforward which I can build and complete in a few weeks. I have never made any F-86 Sabre in this scale, I have several ESCI kits in the stash, so this one would be good to work on. The kit itself dates back to 1979, I think this is the original boxing, and has around 70 parts. Interestingly the panel lines appear to be engraved, not raised, and a first look on-line suggests that this kit is still produced from time to time by Italeri. The kit decals cover three subjects and the Spanish ones caught my eye. However they will be up to 40 years old so I will need a back-up in case they cannot be used. I do have some research to do about this kit, especially the type of wing which is something I know very little about, also whether these markings fall within the time period of this GB. Good to be here Michael 5 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you a positive person?
As a business owner, the number of things that can pop up in your day can be staggeringly ENORMOUS!
The mindset that you have around your business, your home life and life in general can totally dictate how you are going to deal with those things that pop up.
And THAT is why there is POWER IN BEING POSITIVE.
You go to work, expecting to do certain things, like serve your customers, do some paperwork, catch up with your staff and generally get to the business of creating some income.
Instead what pops up can be;
- An unhappy, very verbal customer!
- Internet that is down or sloowwwww, which makes doing paperwork take soooooo long!
- Staff that tell you that they have exams coming up and they need a week off to study ( Next week! Didn't they know about that ages ago and why are they only telling me now?!!)
- It's a glorious day outside and everyone is out in the sunshine (which is beautiful to look at, but keeps the tills empty, because no one is at the mall on a day like this)
You can erupt (internally anyway) and start down the track of;
- What is that customer's deal? The bread was fine! She didn't need to lose her mind! Go take a chill pill lady!
- Or WTF is with this internet! Just work dammit! I don't have time to sit here and take hours to do this paperwork! Ugh, I hate paperwork!
- You get the drift! "Staff are a hassle, why can't I be outside enjoying the sunshine, all I do is work, my life sucks, then I have to go home and clean the house, ugh, my life sucks!"
It's very easy to get on that slide and continue riding it all the way down.
We are all familiar with the idea that:
- What we think we become.
- Our thoughts have energy.
- Our thoughts shape our lives.
With so many draws on our mental energy as a business owner, I have found it really important to try and safeguard my thoughts from starting down the negative by setting up ways to get daily positive reminders.
I read The Secret app as the first thing I do every morning. It gives me a reminder that my thoughts create my world and my thoughts should be positive.
I subscribe to blogs that talk about positivity, gratitude and happiness. Here are ones I love:
I finish the day by writing down all the things I am grateful for and putting it into my gratitude jar. Somedays it can get down to the fact that I am alive and healthy, my family is alive and healthy and I have a comfy bed to fall into!
BUT, there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for and by making myself look for it every day, I can always find something.
By setting up a way that I can be positive about in the morning, throughout the week as the blogs come in, and every night, my chances of maintaining a positive outlook, and the power that brings, are good.
It helps to reframe the things that pop up.
The unhappy "take a chill pill lady" can more easily become: "a person giving me feedback. Sure, its a little LOUD, but you need to listen, so GO!"
What can you set up for yourself, so that you can also harness the POWER OF BEING POSITIVE?
I just want you guys to fly, so I hope this helps!
Til next time,
Big hugs!
Ted xo

Drupal 8 Distributions Coming Up - Time Saving Starter Configurations
With Drupal 8 maturing many organizations and teams are assembling and recreating distributions to use for people to start projects or use as full service applications.
Many of these require you to know how to setup and use composer and be comfortable setting up a site, databases, and some of the overall configuration of Drupal.
We've reviewed and put up some demo sites here and you can make your own assessments.
1. Open Social - A starter kit to social media has been rebuilt on Drupal 8 and has a great out the box feel to a social wall of posting information and group / events signups. Commenting and liking posts seems comfortable and development looks to have utilized contributed modules well for ongoing expansion into the updates to come in Drupal 8. Since we know some of you might struggle setting this up yourself, we have a instance up to temporarily play with here: http://opensocial.kwall.staging-preview.com/ Feel free to play around and create an account.
2. Open EDU - A higher ed starter kit built on lightning from Acquia and developed by our friends at ImageX have setup a Drupal 8 experience with content types for setting up some simple content that caters to a higher education need, like Open Social it's a great setup to build on top of and create your own theme and experience. Check out a demo site here: http://openedu.kwall.staging-preview.com/ to see how it lays out content and an architecture using Drupal fieldsets and panels to fit the responsive design.
If you are interested in what Drupal distributions are available in Drupal 8 there's a list here if you filter by Drupal 8 core https://www.drupal.org/project/project_distribution and even some really great options in Drupal 7 currently still active and very relevant.

Foglight REST APIs have been firstly introduced in Foglight from version 18.104.22.168.
Now, we embrace Foglight 5.9.2 release with awesome REST API new features as well as improvements which might help you to save your time working with Foglight.
If you didn't have a basic knowledge of Foglight REST APIs, we strongly suggest you to go through Foglight REST APIs Introduction - Java and Python Sample Code first before reading this blog.
In this blog, we will use Postman for all the demonstrations, you can import Foglight template into your Postman from here.
Support Enable/Disable REST APIs
Foglight REST APIs can do a lot of things and also can help you to integrate with your other systems. However, since some REST APIs might allow you to do everything to Foglight, you might not want to expose them for use from the aspect of security. Thus, with this new feature, you can configure registry variable "REST_DisabledAPI" to disable exposure of REST APIs (Only "/script/runScript" is disabled by default).
Support Push Alarms into Foglight
In order to use this REST API, you need to provide alarm related configurations including Alarm Message, Severity, Topology Object ID and Rule ID. Rule ID is optional, instead we will use "ExternalAlarm". It support both XML and JSON format.
For find Rule ID, Topology Object ID, you can use "Get all rules' data" and "TopologyObject Query" REST APIs to query the IDs you want. For more detail, please refer to API document.
- XML Format Sample
- JSON Format Sample
Support Push Data into Foglight
In order to use this REST API, you need to understand Foglight's Topology Type system quite well, because this feature must work together with Add Topology Type where you can import customized topology type definitions. For more detail about Topology Types, you can refer to Foglight Administration and Configuration Guide.
Currently, this feature supports JSON format only.
Before we start our demonstration, do you remember this REST API is disabled by "REST_DiabledAPI" introduced in Support Enable/Disable REST APIs section? So you need to enable it first.
- Suppose you've already had a type definition as below.
<types> <type name='PushDataTest1' extends='TopologyObject'> <property name='name' type='String' is-identity='true'/> <property name='testMetric' type='Metric' is-containment='true' unit-name='count' /> <property name='testObservations' type='TestObservation1' is-containment='true' unit-name='count' /> </type> <type name='TestObservation1' extends='ComplexObservation'> <property name='current' type='TestObservationValue1' is-many='false' is-containment='true' /> <property name='latest' type='TestObservationValue1' is-many='false' is-containment='true' /> <property name='history' type='TestObservationValue1' is-many='true' is-containment='true' /> </type> <type name='TestObservationValue1' extends='ObservedValue'> <property name='value' type='TestObject1' is-containment='true'/> </type> <type name="TestObject1" extends="DataObject"> <property name='testName' type='String' /> <property name='createDate' type='Date' /> <property name='createTime' type='Double' /> </type> </types>
- Then, you need to import this new type into Foglight through console.
Login to your Foglight and navigate to Add Topology Type at "Administration -> Data -> Add Topology Type" and import your new topology types to Foglight as below.
- Request Push Data REST API as below.
Here, we suppose you've already get the access-token through Security Login REST API.
- Then you can find the new pushed data by listing instance with its type name from "Administration -> Tooling -> Script Console" as below.
Support Publish Customized REST API
Can you image how awesome it is if you can add your own REST API to Foglight? Yes, through this new feature, you are able to achieve customization for new REST APIs.
Add a REST API to Foglight
- Navigate to "Administration -> Tooling -> Script Console", switch to "Scripts" tab and click "Add" button to open the "Run Script" window.
- Choose "Forge-RestAPI" in the Choose an Associated Cartridge (Optional) dropdown list. Then copy and paste your groovy script of this REST API server code to "Enter Script Text". Finally click "Run" button. If you see the null as the Script Output, then it executes successfully.
Suppose you get a server groovy script as below.
/*Hint: disable @variable usage, use server.context('variable') instead*/ import javax.ws.rs.*; import javax.ws.rs.core.*; import javax.ws.rs.container.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; import com.quest.forge.rest.annotation.Secured; import com.quest.forge.rest.service.*; import com.quest.forge.rest.api.*; @Path("/echo") @Secured @Produces("application/json") class MyResource{ @Context private ContainerRequestContext requestContext; @Context protected HttpServletRequest request; @GET @Path("host") public Response echoSampleHost(){ def foglightServiceLocator = ServiceFactory.getInstance().getFoglightServiceLocator(); def ts = foglightServiceLocator.getTopologyService(); def hosts = ts.getObjectsOfType(ts.getType("Host")); if(!hosts){ return Response.ok("Empty hosts").build(); }else{ def host = (hosts as List).get(0); def helper = foglightServiceLocator.getExtensionContext().get(ForgeRestApiHelper.class); def entity = null; try{ entity = helper.toSerializableEntity(host, request, requestContext); }catch(ConversionException e){ entity = host.toString(); } return Response.ok(entity).build(); } } } class MyRestAPIExtension implements ForgeRestApiExtension{ @Override public Class getRestResourceClz(){ return MyResource.class; } @Override public String getCartridgeName(){ return "DummyCartridge"; } } def rrm = server.context('extensionContext').get(RestResourceManager.class); rrm.unregisterRestAPIExtensions("DummyCartridge"); rrm.registerRestAPIExtension(new MyRestAPIExtension());
Add this REST API through Run Script console as below.
- Open Postman and request for this new REST API you just added to Foglight as below. We suppose you've already get the access-token through Security Login REST API.
Remove a REST API from Foglight
- Navigate to "Administration -> Tooling -> Script Console", switch to "Scripts" tab and click "Add" button to open the "Run Script" window.
- Choose "Forge-RestAPI" in the "Choose an Associated Cartridge (Optional)" dropdown list. Then copy and paste your groovy script of this REST API server code to "Enter Script Text". Finally click "Run" button. If you see the null as the Script Output, then it executes successfully.
Suppose you have already add the REST API in the previous section into Foglight. Then you need the following script to remove it from Foglight.
import com.quest.forge.rest.service.*; def rrm = server.context('extensionContext').get(RestResourceManager.class); rrm.unregisterRestAPIExtensions("DummyCartridge");
Remove this REST API from Foglight as below.
Support Run Named Script
Named script can be used to integrate to your other system easily and flexibly. Foglight provide a lot of embedded Named Scripts for customers.
You might have the following questions like Where to find Named Scripts? How many parameters should the Named Script have? And How to request for Named Script?
So let's continue to answer these questions.
- Where to find existing Named Scripts?
Enter "http://<serverip>:<serverport>/jmx-console", find "service=Scripting" and click to check its detail. In the detailed page, you can find all the existing Named Script in the value of "AllScriptNames".
- How many parameters should the Named Script have?
import com.quest.nitro.service.sl.interfaces.scripting.*; scriptSvc = server.ScriptingService; allNamingScripts =<Here put your naming script list> output = ""; allNamingScripts.each{singleScript-> output += "Script \"" + singleScript + "\": "; output += "\n"; myScript = scriptSvc.getNamedScript(singleScript); output += myScript.getDescription(); output += "\n"; if(myScript.getExamples().size()!=0){ int i = 1; myScript.getExamples().each{example-> output += "...." + "Example " + i + ": " output += "\n"; output += "...." + myScript.getExamples()[i-1].getUsage(); output += "\n"; i++; } } if(myScript.getArguments().size() == 0){ output += "....This script does not need argument." output += "\n"; } else{ int i = 1; myScript.getArguments().each{argument-> output += "...." + "Argument" + i + ": "; output += "\n"; output += "........Name: " + argument.getName(); output += "\n"; output += "........Type: " + argument.getType(); output += "\n"; output += "........is Optional: " + argument.isOptional() ; output += "\n"; i++; } } output += "---------------------"; output += "\n"; } return output;
Use the above script to check the Named Script parameters in script console and the result shown as below.
- How to request for Named Script?
Support Auto-Login
Auto-Login feature enables you to request for a REST API directly without requesting login by the help of Auth-Token. In another words, for example, you can request "/agent/allAgents" using Auth-Token without call "/security/login" first.
For better customization, we provide a registry variable "REST_AuthToken_AutoLogin" to enable or disable this feature. And it is enabled by default.
First, we need to generate an Auth-Token from Foglight console. And remember by default this feature is enabled.
Then we can request "/agent/allAgents" directly with our generated Auth-Token as below.
Improve Audit Log Customization
Before 5.9.2, Foglight generates an audit log for each REST API request.
However, sometimes, in some use cases, you might not care about most of them.
So, from 5.9.2, you can customize the audit log filter "REST_Audit_Filter" to filter-out REST APIs that you don't want to generate an audit log.
By default, we configured the filter not to generate an audit log for the following REST APIs:
- Agent Realted REST APIs (/agent/*)
- Cartridge Related REST APIs (/cartridge/*)
- Registry Related REST APIs (/registry/*)
- Remote Client Related REST APIs (/remoteClient/*)
- Rule Related REST APIs (/rule/*)
- Topology Type Related REST APIs (/type/*)
- User Related REST APIs (/user/*)
- Subscribe Alarm Related REST APIs (/subscription/*)
- Alarm Related REST APIs except Push Alarm (/alarm/pushAlarm), Acknowledge Alarm (/alarm/ack) and Clear Alarm (/alarm/clear).
Another improvement for audit log is related to the new feature Support Auto-Login, we will only generate one audit log for each login session.
Above is the default configuration for registry variable "REST_Audit_Filter". Remember that we have already filtered-out the alarm acknowledgement REST API for generating audit log.
Then we use the auth-token (Please refer to Auto-Login section) to help us to do the request for alarm acknowledgement.
Finally, when we checked the audit log from console, we can find that there is no audit log generated for this alarm acknowledgement REST API.
Sample Code for REST APIs
We've made the sample code open source that you can find it from our Github repositories. You can find java, python, go, shell samples of Foglight REST APIs from Foglight Github Repositories.
Cartridge Download
You can download the cartridge from the official web site.
The detailed API document can be found at the following repositories:
- If you've installed this cartridge, the REST API document can be found at "http://{{serverapi}}:{{serverport}}/api/doc"
- If the cartridge is not installed, the REST API document can be found inside the cartridge installation file (Forge-RestAPI.car/Forge-RestAPI-5_9_2/api-/api.war/doc).

Being a "fatshionista" on a budget anywhere can be tough, but Brooklyn is full of great finds for the plus-size shopper with a less-than-plus-size budget. From the designer stuff of W'burg pop-ups to the vintage of Re/Dress to just the chain-store basics, ma'am, Brooklyn's full of cheap ways to fit your fashion needs.
PopUpPlus is a popup store for plus-size ladies in Brooklyn that shows up every now and then (the last one was in Williamsburg). They feature pieces from designers all over the world, and the deals go very quickly, but at the end of the store's stay, the entire inventory can be marked down to 30-40 percent off. You can get $200 items for $140 or less, and these are things you'll wear until they fall apart many, many years later.
At Fox's, down on Kings Highway, you're gonna have to dig, but the prices are just as low. They have Marc Jacobs dresses for $64 and Jessica Simpson boots for $35, but you'll have to put in the time to find something both attractive and that fits, because everything's mixed together. Fox's, 911-927 Kings Highway between E. 9th and E. 10th Sts., Midwood
I recently heard about Smile For Every Sistah in You on Flatbush Ave. They carry some designer pieces like Monif C's dresses, which can run $120-$200. But the real deals here are the accessories, where you can find sale items that will look fabulous with the dresses. Smile For Every Sistah in You, 581 Flatbush Ave., between Midwood St. and Rutland Rd., Prospect Lefferts Gardens
If you're higher up on the budget chain, but you're still looking for a deal, check out Lee Lee's Valise. They specialize in sizes from 10-28, and their pieces are definitely designer. The key is here is keep your eye peeled for their sales. Pieces can normally go for $200-$400, but it's not unheard-of to get a wrap dress or one of the dresses going out of season for 50 percent off. Lee Lee's Valise, 368 Court St. at President St., Carroll Gardens
The mecca for the plus-size girl in Brooklyn for the past few years has been Re/Dress, and it's just around the corner from Lee Lee's Valise. Re/Dress has new, plus-size designer items and an incredible collection of vintage and gently-used stuff. Sizes range from 10 to 3X and 4X. We've scored $50 sequin pants there, and there's a pair of leather chaps perfect for Halloween that've been around for quite some time. The serious deals are there, you just might have to hunt. You can also sell your used items for cash or store credit. Re/Dress, 109 Boerum Pl. between Dean and Pacifis Sts., Boerum Hill
The Vortex, a vintage store in Williamsburg, also has some plus-size pieces floating around. The prices range pretty broadly ($35-$200) and, again, be ready to hunt. But the place really is like the wild wild west: You never know what you're going to find. We recommend spending an afternoon here. The Vortex, 222 Montrose Ave. between Bushwick Ave. and Humboldt St., Williamsburg
Chain stores
The Macy's in Brooklyn has some good plus-size pieces and their selection is always better than Macy's in the city. A $140 Calvin Klein dress can go for $40 (especially great if you love the way Calvin Klein fits you), a $300-$350 Tahari suit jacket can go for $150-170 and Levi's jeans might be marked down to the $30-range. The other great thing about Macy's? If they don't have your size in the store, you can always look online. Macy's, 5400 Avenue U. (Kings Plaza); 422 Fulton St., Downtown Brooklyn
The Lane Bryant at Fulton Mall reportedly gets all the leftover clearance items from other area stores. You should definitely sign up for their email alerts, too, because sometimes they do crazy things like offer 50 percent off the entire store or 50 percent off their Seven7 line of jeans—which knocks the prices down to around $40. They send out some pretty sweet coupons, too. Lane Bryant, 380 Fulton St., Downtown Brooklyn; other locations
In the same area, Ashley Stewart doesn't always have the best quality of clothing, and not everything's always priced right… but the sale section can definitely garner you some solid basics. And you might even find an buried item that's been there long enough to have been marked down two or three times. You wanted some $29 or $34 cargo capris or t-shirts? Now they're $19.99. The store also does some buy-one-get-one-half-off sales every season, too. Ashley Stewart, 1222 Fulton St., 488 Fulton St.; other locations
For really cheap items, you can always hit up Rainbow. Ah Rainbow. The home of the cheaply made skirt you're gonna wear once and throw out. They've got a plus-size section that's hit or miss, but you can sometimes nab things for $3, especially if the zipper is already blown out (you can always sew it when you get home). They can have nice knockoffs in the shoe section too, but $10 shoes will act like $10 shoes. Rainbow Shops, various locations
You may have tried clothing swaps before and left with nothing but a bangle because everything just wasn't your size. Well, you can try the Brooklyn Plus-Size Clothing Swap (Disclaimer: I started it!) The group meets every few months to swap clothes over food and drink. You just bring clothes you've tired of, and take others in turn. Great if you suddenly find yourself a different size from one season to the next.
The choices for plus-size women are getting better and more diverse as the fashion world realizes that we're not going anywhere, and we want to look good, too! What secret gems have you found out there in Brooklyn?

Thanks for the amazing round up Netta! Definitely some spots I'm going to have to check out. I cannot wait for our style date!(Disclosure: I'm lucky enough to know Netta IRL)
Great piece and loads of information. Would you ever consider doing a similar piece for stores in Manhattan?
i definitely would consider that! if i can't find a manhattan-based blog or fashion blog willing to publish is, i'll publish it on xoxonettaP!
thanks for the support ladies!
I would also recommend Buffalo Exchange in Williamsburg. I'm a size 16 and I always find something (often many somethings)AND they are lovely enough to sort all clothing by SIZE. Very easy and very affordable.
lucky you! i haven't had too much luck there, but maybe it's time that i stop back by again katie. :) what's your favorite thing that you've found there?
You forgot to mention -Avenue- in Atlantic Center. I just purchased a shrug, handbag and a pair of "skinny" jeans all 30% off.
hearty magazine (www.heartymagazine.com) might publish a manhattan version of this post! great list!
you're right – i did forget avenue!
i also discovered another spot – fashion to figure, which is in kings plaza mall!
cool jana – would love to see it.
There are two 'outlet' stores on Church Avenue and E 3rd Street (across Church from one another). F train to Church or B103 from Downtown Brooklyn, or B35. On the south side of Church, saw tons of LB tanks; Ann Taylor and Venezia tees 1X-3X for $1.91. Some slacks for 9.00; Avenue brown ruffled bolero tops for $5 at the register (size 24). Across the street, the easier-to-negotiate store has some suit pieces and name brand tops 1X-3X for $4 – $6.

When I lived in Nebraska, there was a house by a local bridge over the Missouri River with a row of plastic ducks in the front yard. The ducks were always dressed in seasonal clothing. From red, white and blue capes for the 4th of July to Halloween costumes, these ducks were on target each time I saw them. I was regularly bemused by the duck project and sometimes think of that house as I plan the display that decorates my front porch for each month of the year. I enjoy organizing the wreaths, flags, lights, and table items that I set out. I think they make my porch a welcoming place.
Just as I imagine that the duck lady planned ahead, I keep my eye out for items that will look good on the porch. Over the years, I've accumulated a nice collection of things to set out; I enjoy the variety. From polka dot pots to plant stakes, the collection of porch ephemera makes me smile. In the summer, there are plants and flowers outside, soaking up the sun. My shefflura plant has had a splendid growing season and now towers over the other plants on the table. It will need a new pot before it comes inside for the the cold season.
Each morning, I take my coffee and book out to the porch and enjoy them as I plot the course of my day. These hopeful begonias have been putting on a splendid display all Summer and I like the way they welcome the day. Flowers can be over-the-top without seeming garish and I admire that trait.
The summertime popsicle flag will enjoy one more happy month.
My purple violets seem to be past their prime, but the New Guinea Impatien baskets that T gave me are still looking quite lovely. I gave the trailing vinca a bit of a haircut to keep things in order and think I'll have these baskets through September, a cheerful thought.
This striped wreath is my go-to for the summer months.
I sit out on my cheerful porch a great deal in the Summer. I listen to the birds chirp, I read and daydream, and I admire the blooms. In warm weather, it's my favorite room in the house, a visible reminder to stop and enjoy all the happy things in my world.

MAKE no mistake about it, the Blues are still in the driving seat ahead of the away leg of their Europa League tie with Sporting.
They will go to Lisbon next week and they only have to score first to put themselves in a great position to progress to the last 16 of the competition.
Sporting were fairly neat and tidy and looked OK on the counter attack, but overall Everton are stronger.
If anything I'd like to see David Moyes go over there and ask his team to play at a Premier League pace, harrying Sporting and looking to score fast.
Everton beat Chelsea because they responded to Chelsea's continental approach of keeping a low tempo and knocking it about by getting stuck into them and picking up the pace.
But against Sporting the Blues actually adopted a bit more of a Continental style themselves.
I'd like to see them shock Sporting in their own backyard with a 100mph English approach.
It's hard when you start off at one pace in a game to switch it to a faster one, so the Blues are better going for it from the onset.
Look at the likes of Arsenal who play in a very continental style. They often find it hard to adapt even when they really need to. Sometimes there is nothing better than a bit of directness.
I'm still not a fan of the extra officials in a Europa League game.
Why on earth Uefa don't introduce goal line technology is beyond me. They have a man behind the goal now but they are still relying on the human eye and the computers are far more accurate.
Maybe they will have to be embarrassed by another high profile mistake before they decide to go for it.
Wayne Rooney can be halted
MANCHESTER United looked good against AC Milan but I still think they are vulnerable at the back.
Milan had opportunities and the defending for Clarence Seedorf's goal was very poor.
It should give Everton hope ahead of tomorrow's game, even if a certain Mr Rooney is in excellent form.
I'm glad there has been a bit of thawing in the animosity between Wayne and the fans.
He had a once in a lifetime opportunity to move to Manchester United, even if he had stayed at Everton for another 12 months, a lot can happen in that time.
It's like when I was Blackburn player manager and Everton parted company with Gordon Lee. The Toffees made an approach for me and my chairman said it may be a bit too early, he said I should stay another season.
But clubs like Everton didn't come calling every day and I couldn't take the risk of waiting another season.
Someone else could have come in and stayed in the job for 10 years.
For all that, Rooney is only human and can be stopped if Everton get their defence right.
Injuries hard to take
I'M hard pressed to remember a worse run of injuries to an Everton team in recent years.
Marouane Fellaini was performing at the considerable height of his game, the best he has played in his career, for Everton when injury struck in the Anfield derby.
He seemed to have adapted to the holding midfield role and was making the team tick. He will be missed.
But this is an opportunity for Jack Rodwell to re-establish himself in the team and flourish.
