Ruminant Health provides training and consultancy for the Obsalim technique in the UK. The company was set up by veterinarian Edward De Beukelaer and pharmacist Tony Pinkus.
Ruminant Health is licensed to provide an educational and consultancy service for Obsalim throughout the UK and Ireland. We are establishing a network of Obsalim users by teaching farmers and training and licensing professional advisors to deliver the method. By this action our purpose is to support and continually improve ruminant farming practices in accordance with the mission of Obsalim: making farming successful and providing excellent welfare for animals and farmers alike.
Our company is also the contact between the UK and other countries where Obsalim is growing in popularity. Through these contacts, we keep users in the UK up to date with the latest knowledge and developments relating to Obsalim, and any adjoining feeding assessment tools.
Example Obsalim cards for goats
Obsalim is a unique method of assessment and ration adjustments, based on observing your cows, goats and/or sheep. It helps you better read your animals, to understand how they are digesting the ration in real time. It uncovers the subtle issues that are generating problems, and reveals opportunities to reduce input costs and turn losses into profits.
Obsalim helps you answer questions such as:
You’re already looking at your animals to see how they are doing. Obsalim will make your observations more precise and actionable:
Example Obsalim cards for cows
scores to add up
Obsalim comes in the form of a set of cards. Each card relates to an observable sign on or around the animals, such as behaviour, condition, dung and other symptoms. The first step of the technique is to observe your ruminants for such signs, and select the cards which match your observations.
Next, you add up the values displayed on the cards you selected. This reveals what is happening in your animals’ rumen and diagnoses any imbalance or inefficiency in the rumen. The cards will not only tell you if there is room for improvement, but precisely which areas can be improved. Equipped with this knowledge, you can adjust your ruminants’ feed and routines, to improve welfare and productivity.
The cards will also tell you how long it takes for the various Obsalim signs to appear or disappear. So you can monitor how your animals are responding to the changes you make in real time. This gives you the confidence to make decisions about the ration, without risk-taking.
The relevance of each sign to the rumen function of cows, sheep and goats has been determined and verified in practice for more than two decades.
As you get used to the Obsalim technique, it will take you very little time to monitor the efficiency of rumination in your herd on a regular basis. You will understand how to increase the productivity of the rumen, while reducing food wastage and any related input costs. And you will be able to spot and address early signs of disruption, avoiding time and money spent on dealing with a variety of health issues.
In time, your animals will prove to be the best guide to running your farm efficiently.
Using the Obsalim technique and tools, you might observe that your cows are wasting energy. And you recognise that the root cause is a shortage of structural fibre in their feed. You can then address this issue by adjusting the ration to increase productivity.
In another example, you might observe that your sheep are overeating and wasting a proportion of the ration due to an abnormal eating pattern. By discovering this fact, you can take appropriate action to reduce your losses. Without conducting the Obsalim observation, it is unlikely that the abnormal eating pattern would have been noticed.
Visit the Obsalim websiteRuminant Health offers two types of Obsalim courses in the UK:
The course takes a total of 6 days. We deliver the first part of the course over 3 individual days, spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart. It includes:
There will then be 3 further training days on farm, which we will deliver over a period of 1 to 3 months after the initial course.
To minimise your costs and produce a more meaningful experience, we prefer to travel to you. This way, you will not incur additional travel and accommodation costs, nor will you need to employ relief staff for more than a few hours on study days (if at all). You will also benefit from learning in a local Obsalim support group.
If you are interested in attending a course in your area, please contact either Edward or Tony<PHONE_NUMBER>6 or<PHONE_NUMBER>0, or obsalim.uk@gmail.com). Because Obsalim is best learnt in small local groups, we require a minimum number of 6 local farmers to attend the course. Obsalim works well with all ruminants, so attendees can include a mix of beef, dairy, sheep and goat farmers.
The 6-day course starts from £600 per participant. The course fee includes the essential practice tools you require to start using Obsalim immediately.
This fee is based on courses organized in the South of England, South Wales and the Midlands. Additional travel expenses may apply for courses taking place further away.
Participants need to form a local group for the purpose of teaching. At least one participant should facilitate the local meetings for the 6 course days. Most of the training takes place using Obsalim in real time on the animals. Training is therefore held on the farm, with sessions rotating between the farms of the participants.
Founding a local group is also essential for all students to gain confidence in using Obsalim. We know from experience that the best way for farmers to serve their individual goals and vision for their farm is through ongoing contact between the participants.
Edward trained the following farmers and professionals on the Obsalim technique.
Chris Gosling, Berkeley Dairy Farm, Wroughton:
"After spending some time learning to observe the cows in a new way and putting the Obsalim technique into practice I was amazed at the improvement in our herd's health."
Jonny Rider, Horton House farm, Devises:
"Three years ago, in the spring of 2015, we used Obsalim on our milking herd, a month before calving when they were dry. As a result of symptoms shown on the cards, we made changes to our wintering that have reduced the amount of food we use, as well as significantly improving the health and condition of the cows. We have subsequently used Obsalim during the grazing season and, as a result, we have altered the timings we shift the cows to new pasture, to maximise rumination and rumen function. Over time, the cards have become a very familiar and useful tool."

Chicken
The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a type of domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus). Chickens are one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a total population of 23.7 billion as of 2018, up from more than 19 billion in 2011. There are more chickens in the world than any other bird or domesticated fowl. Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food (consuming both their meat and eggs) and, less commonly, as pets. Originally raised for cockfighting or for special ceremonies, chickens were not kept for food until the Hellenistic period (4th–2nd centuries BC)(Back to Top)
Beef
Beef is the culinary name for meat from cattle, particularly skeletal muscle. Humans have been eating beef since prehistoric times.Beef is a source of protein and nutrients. Most beef skeletal muscle meat can be used as is by merely cutting into certain parts, such as roasts, short ribs or steak (filet mignon, sirloin steak, rump steak, rib steak, rib eye steak, hanger steak, etc.), while other cuts are processed (corned beef or beef jerky). Trimmings, on the other hand, are usually mixed with meat from older, leaner (therefore tougher) cattle, are ground, minced or used in sausages. The blood is used in some varieties called blood sausage. (Back to Top)
Sushi
Sushi (すし, 寿司, 鮨, pronounced [sɯɕiꜜ] or [sɯꜜɕi]) is a Japanese dish of prepared vinegared rice (鮨飯, sushi-meshi), usually with some sugar and salt, accompanying a variety of ingredients (ネタ, neta), such as seafood, often raw, vegetables, and occasionally tropical fruits. Styles of sushi and its presentation vary widely, but the one key ingredient is "sushi rice", also referred to as shari (しゃり), or sumeshi (酢飯). Sushi is traditionally made with medium-grain white rice, though it can be prepared with brown rice or short-grain rice. It is very often prepared with seafood.such as squid, eel, yellowtail, salmon, tuna or imitation crab meat. (Back to Top)

Bella Hadid rocked the no-shirt trend in a leather jacket held together with tiny strings
by Amanda Krause- Bella Hadid made an appearance at the French Vogue Fashion Festival in Paris, France, on Friday.
- She arrived wearing a long leather jacket – designed by Supriya Lele – with no shirt underneath. It was tied together across her chest with two tiny strings.
- Hadid also wore a long pair of trousers with an uneven waistline, and pointed leather boots.
- The model has worn numerous bold outfits this month, including a black bodysuit embellished with strategically-placed pearls that resembled body piercings.
- Visit Insider’s homepage for more stories.
Bella Hadid is keeping one of 2018’s biggest fashion trends alive.
On Friday, the model attended the French Vogue Fashion Festival in Paris wearing a long leather jacket with no shirt underneath. The long-sleeved coat reached her knees, and was held together by two thin strings tied across her chest.
It was designed by Supriya Lele for the designer’s Spring/Summer 2020 collection.
In addition to her unique jacket, Hadid also wore pointed leather boots, and trousers that had an uneven waistline held up by criss-cross strings that extended across her stomach.
She shared a photo of her look on Instagram, where she also thanked French Vogue for inviting her to its event.
“This morning, about to speak at the Vogue Paris French Vogue Fashion Festival with Loïc Prigent about my career, how it started, the progression, and my passions,” she wrote. “Humbled to speak with you and thank you Emmanuelle Alt for having me on such an important day!”
Though we’re only 15 days into the month, Hadid’s recent ensemble is one of many bold looks she’s worn recently.
On November 4, for example, she attended the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards in New York City wearing a velvet bodysuit. The Alexander Wang piece was embellished with strategically-placed pearls, which resembled stomach and nipple piercings.
Two days later, on November 6, the model paired a fuzzy, animal-print bucket hat with a $6,850 messenger bag from Chanel.
Representatives for Supriya Lele did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.

- Kristen Bell made a winter fashion statement by wearing 3 colorful coats in one day
- Laverne Cox is keeping the ‘naked’ trend alive in an almost entirely sheer lace dress
- Emilia Clarke paired a daring dress with more than $285,000 worth of jewelry


Just came up with a simple but useful Rails trick (though I’m likely not the first).
Say you have a long table with the same controls (buttons, pagination, whatever) both above and below it.
Doing the controls twice over is not DRY; using a helper or partial may be overkill if these controls are never reused other than these two times.
Enter content_for
.
It’s commonly used to pass content such as a title or sidebar box from a template to a layout, but you can also use it within one and the same page.
Hence:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
|
Prettier in Haml, of course:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
|
The effect is something like inline partials. Perfectly DRY without adding much complexity.

BMO speaks on Buhari’s decision on third term
by The Eagle OnlineBuhari Media Organisation says President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision not to run for a third term in office is sacrosanct, final and irreversible.
In a statement signed by its Chairman Niyi Akinsiju in Abuja on Monday, BMO said that those pushing the agenda should respect the president and stop the campaign.
Akinsiju said that his organisation had believed that the president’s declaration would put the matter to rest finally.
“We want to restate that President Muhammadu Buhari, as an acclaimed democrat and a man of integrity.
“It is important to acknowledge that Buhari’s major concern is to rebuild the dilapidated infrastructure in the country, eradicate corruption and fight insecurity, thereby bequeathing a country that works for all citizens,” he said.
The organisation expressed the belief that with the bold declaration of the president not to seek for a third term, Nigerians should ignore calls for term elongation as it violated the nation’s constitution.
“As a man of integrity, he will not renege on his promise and neither will he bastardise the Nigerian constitution for personal gains, no matter the pressure.
“We are confident that with the measures already put in place by Buhari, Nigeria is already well-positioned for development which will lead to job creation, economic growth and rapid socio-political development of the country.
“Definitely, third term is not on the agenda of the president as it runs contrary to the oath of office he swore to.
”We want to reassure Nigerians that Buhari remains focussed in improving the lives of Nigerians by embarking on programmes and projects that will positively impact on Nigerians,” Akinsiju said.

Open Invitation
This page was inspired by a person whose blog I enjoy!
I’m excited to learn and share knowledge. This is an open invitation for you to e-mail me whenever you want to talk software, research, our industry, or life in general. Please reach out! Some of the things I’m equipped to talk about:
- Managing teams. I like to work with people and still do technical work; if you want to find out how to do that and what some of my methods are, I’d love to share! And if you have any input of your own, I really want to hear it!
- Carp. Carp is a statically compiled Lisp with a fun type system and a borrow checker. I maintain the standard library and I like to talk about it a lot!
- Macros. One of my hobbies is reimplementing language features through macros, and it’s taught me a lot about how they work and how to write good macros with APIs that feel fun!
- Tooling. The more time I spend in software, the more I think about the inadequacy of most of the tools we build to make our own jobs easier. I’d like to work on that, and talking about it is a great first step!
As for the format, I love getting e-mail. It might take me a moment to reply, but I try to get back to you as quickly as possible! I also love meeting people, so if you’re coming to Berlin, let’s have a cup of coffee, a beer, or a snack!
Shoot me an e-mail

REYNES OF CASTAMERE
House Reyne of Castamere was a noble house from Castamere in the westerlands. They blazoned their arms with a red lion rampant regardant with a forked tail, armed and langued gold, on silver.
House Reyne was a family of First Men who made their subterranean seat at Castamere. The mine's silver and gold made them wealthy, much like the Lannisters of Casterly Rock. The Reynes joined the Kingdom of the Rock when King Loreon I Lannister wed a Reyne daughter.
During the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, the Reynes sided with the greens. Lord Reyne was killed during the Battle by the Lakeshore in 130 AC.
During the First Blackfyre Rebellion, Ser Robb Reyne sided with Daemon I Blackfyre. Robb was considered one of the finest knights of his age.
The downfall of the house had its origins in the time of Lord Robert Reyne. He arranged the betrothal of his daughter Ellyn to Tywald Lannister, the son and heir of Lord Gerold Lannister. Tywald served Robert as a squire during the Peake Uprising, but Robert and Tywald were killed in battle at Starpike in 233 AC. Lady Ellyn, who had long anticipated becoming the Lady of Casterly Rock, was unwilling to forsake that dream. She persuaded Tywald's twin, Tion, to set aside his own fiancé and espouse her instead. During this time, Lady Ellyn held a splendid court at the Rock, staging magnificent tourneys and balls and filling the Rock with musicians, mummers and Reynes. She bestowed honors, offices and lands on her brothers, Roger and Reynard, and other relatives. An acerbic hunchback, Lord Toad, was heard saying, "Lady Ellyn must be a sorceress, for she has made it rain inside the Rock all year
The death of Ser Tion Lannister in the Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion roused his father Gerold, who took firm control over the westerlands. The "Reign of the Reynes" was over. In 239 AC Ellyn was accused of trying to bed the third son of Lord Gerold, Tytos Lannister, which resulted in her removal from Casterly Rock and marriage to Lord Walderan Tarbeck.
Roger Reyne, who succeeded Robert, was the Lord of Castamere during the rule of Gerold's successor, Lord Tytos Lannister. The Reynes had prospered greatly under Tytos's misrule. Both Roger and Ser Reynard extracted large amounts of gold from Tytos. After the War of the Ninepenny Kings, Tytos's son and heir, Ser Tywin Lannister, demanded repayment of the gold that was lent out, but Roger reportedly laughed and told his vassals to do nothing. This eventually led Tywin to summon the Reynes and the Tarbecks to answer for their crimes. They chose defiance instead and with it, started the Reyne-Tarbeck rebellion against their Lannister overlords.
Tarbeck Hall was the first to feel Tywin's wrath and House Tarbeck was exterminated, including Ellyn. After an unsuccessful battle against the Lannister host led by Tywin, Ser Reynard and the wounded Lord Roger took refuge in the mines underneath Castamere. Reynard, once his folk were safe, offered terms to Tywin. Instead Tywin ordered the sealing of Castamere's entrances and the diverting of nearby water into the mine, causing the deaths of all within.
The downfall of the Reynes is popularized in "The Rains of Castamere", a song which Tywin Lannister sometimes uses for intimidation.


Flask Extensions¶
Flask extensions extend the functionality of Flask in various different ways. For instance they add support for databases and other common tasks.
Finding Extensions¶
Flask extensions are listed on the Flask Extension Registry and can be
downloaded with easy_install
or pip
. If you add a Flask extension
as dependency to your requirements.rst
or setup.py
file they are
usually installed with a simple command or when your application installs.
Using Extensions¶
Extensions typically have documentation that goes along that shows how to
use it. There are no general rules in how extensions are supposed to
behave but they are imported from common locations. If you have an
extension called Flask-Foo
or Foo-Flask
it will be always
importable from flask.ext.foo
:
from flask.ext import foo
Flask Before 0.8¶
If you are using Flask 0.7 or earlier the flask.ext
package will not
exist, instead you have to import from flaskext.foo
or flask_foo
depending on how the extension is distributed. If you want to develop an
application that supports Flask 0.7 or earlier you should still import
from the flask.ext
package. We provide you with a compatibility
module that provides this package for older versions of Flask. You can
download it from github: flaskext_compat.py
And here is how you can use it:
import flaskext_compat
flaskext_compat.activate()
from flask.ext import foo
Once the flaskext_compat
module is activated the flask.ext
will
exist and you can start importing from there.

public interface RenderAttachedBlockView
extends net.minecraft.world.ExtendedBlockView
FabricBakedModel
for dynamic model
customization. It ensures thread safety and exploits data cached in render
chunks for performance and data consistency.There are differences from BlockView consumers must understand:
BlockEntity implementations that provide data for model customization should implement
RenderAttachmentBlockEntity
which will be queried on the main thread when a render
chunk is enqueued for rebuild. The model should retrieve the results via #getCachedRenderData()
.
While BlockView.getBlockEntity(net.minecraft.util.math.BlockPos)
is not disabled, it
is not thread-safe for use on render threads. Models that violate this guidance are
responsible for any necessary synchronization or collision detection.
BlockView.getBlockState(net.minecraft.util.math.BlockPos)
and BlockView.getFluidState(net.minecraft.util.math.BlockPos)
will always reflect the state cached with the render chunk. Block and fluid states
can thus be different from main-thread world state due to lag between block update
application from network packets and render chunk rebuilds. Use of #getCachedRenderData()
will ensure consistency of model state with the rest of the chunk being rendered.
Models should avoid using BlockView.getBlockEntity(BlockPos)
to ensure thread safety because this view may be accessed outside the main client thread.
Models that require Block Entity data should implement RenderAttachmentBlockEntity
and then use getBlockEntityRenderAttachment(BlockPos)
to retrieve it. When called from the
main thread, that method will simply retrieve the data directly.
This interface is only guaranteed to be present in the client environment.

Two priests in Argentina sentenced to more than 40 years in sex abuse case
by Reuters1 / 6Italian catholic priest Nicola Corradi is escorted by officers to a courtroom before the hearing of his verdict in a case in which he is accused of sexual abuse, in Mendoza
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - An Argentine court on Monday convicted two Roman Catholic priests and the former gardener of a church-run school for deaf students in the province of Mendoza on 28 counts of sexual abuse and corruption of minors.
Priests Nicola Corradi and Horacio Corbacho were sentenced to 42 and 45 years in prison, respectively, while the school employee, Armando Gomez, got 18 years. The sentencings by Judges Carlos Diaz, Mauricio Juan and Anibal Crivelli of the Collegiate Criminal Court No. 2 were live streamed in Argentina.
The sentences cannot be appealed. The accusations against the three had been made by more than 20 alumni of Mendoza's Antonio Provolo Institute for the deaf.
Monday marked three years since the first complaints in the case were announced.
Earlier this month an Argentine prosecutor requested the arrest of a Roman Catholic bishop after officials said he ignored repeated calls and emails relating to an investigation of sex abuse allegations against him.
The bishop, Gustavo Zanchetta, had been living in Vatican City, where he previously held a position in a church financial department, according to the prosecutor's office.

Research shows that young American adults don't have adequate knowledge in personal finance, and need better guidance on managing their financial resources. Specifically, many of them would buy things out of impulse and regret those purchases afterwards.
Solution
Mirror Mirror leverages AI algorithms to help emerging adults reflect on their past purchases and better understand the difference between the price of a product and its real value, one of the most important financial concepts one should understand based on our user research. Our application encourages users to evaluate their purchase decisions, provides actionable and personalized insights based on users' own reflections, and helps users avoid making purchases that they might regret in the future.

Our Approach
My Contribution
During the research phase, I conducted a literature review on personal finance education and semi-structured interviews with potential users and financial experts.
During the ideation phase, three of my ideas were modified and developed into our four final concepts. I then advocated for collecting user feedback, which helped us narrow our ideas down. I contributed to the information architecture design, and was responsible for creating the wireframes for the settings tab. I then created the user-flow of the app and an interactive prototype using InVision.
Finally, I moderated several usability testing sessions, and led the discussion of deriving design implications from the data with my teammates.
We started the project having a vague idea that we hope to help young Americans learn more about personal finance. Initially, we hoped to help parents better educate their teenage children about personal finance. However, we pivoted based on our primary and secondary research, and focused on helping emerging adults aged between 18 and 25 form better financial habits.
Domain Research
To better understand the problem space, we conducted a literature review and a competitive analysis. For the competitive analysis, we focused on financial education products for children and financial management products for the general population.
Products we analyzed for the Competitive Analysis
Our main findings include:
American teenagers turn to their parents for advice when facing financial decision problems.
Existing personal finance education apps are either too childish for teenagers or too static to raise teenagers' interests.
Personal finance management apps focus on budgeting instead of spending wisely.
Few products target late adolescents, who are not yet motivated to learn about complicated financial concepts, but will soon need them as they start working or enter college.
The results motivated us to:
Focus on parents of teenage children in our following surveys and interviews to learn about their barriers when it comes to educating their children about personal finance.
Use a survey to verify if we should narrow our target audience down to late adolescents and their parents.
Surveys & Interviews
Surveys
We first used a survey to 1) help us narrow down our target user group and 2) quickly learn about the most important financial concepts and the pain points parents encounter when educating their children about personal finance. We chose parents of teenage children as our target audience based on the results of our domain research.
Interviews
We then conducted semi-structured interviews with financial experts and parents of teenage children to 1) gain advice from experts and 2) dive deeper into the problems parents encounter when educating their children about personal finance.
We created an affinity map as a group to identify themes from our qualitative interview data.
Redefining Our User Group
Consistent with our domain research, we decided to focus on helping parents of late adolescents because children in their early adolescence cannot understand certain personal finance knowledge. It is also critical for late adolescents to learn that knowledge before they start to face real-world financial decisions.
From our expert interviews, we also learned something unexpected--it was premature for us to assume that only teenagers need help with personal finance management. Emerging adults, those between 18 and 25 years old, also do not know how to manage their own financial resources.
Therefore, we eventually focused our research on both parents of late adolecents, and emerging adults.
Key Takeaways
Based on the survey & interview results, we realized that both late adolescents and emerging adults aged between 18 and 25 have the need to learn to better manage their financial resources. Since we cannot narrow down our user group based on our evidence, instead of arbitrarily deciding on a group to focus on, we delineated the different needs for pre-college teenagers and emerging adults, and brainstormed ideas for both.
Our main findings include:
Budgeting, staying out of debt, and price vs. value (knowing the difference between the value and the price of something) are the top three concepts that parents want their children to learn before leaving home.
Managing one's own financial resources seems to be a distant topic for late adolecents and emerginng adults, who lack interests in learning financial knowledge.
Parents lack tools in educating their children about personal finance.
Some parents consider themselves inadequate in financial literacy and thus cannot really educate their children effectively.
Making a detailed budget plan and sticking to it (similar to a diet plan) is essential. However, most people, even adults, only have a vague idea about their financial own status.
Impulse buying seems to be a major problem for emerging adults.
Pre-college teenagers usually do not understand the importance of financial literacy when they are around their parents; once they enter college and start facing real-world financial decisions, they realize the importance of learning personal finance knowledge, but they no longer have enough chance/motivation to ask their parents about the topic.
Design
Ideation
Based on the evidence we collected from user research, we conducted an informed brainstorming session. Each member first came up with a variety of ideas individually. The group then convened for several hours to share all the ideas and form a number of new ideas.
We followed a roundtable “yes and” collaborative ideation process, in which we added on each other’s ideas to push them further for more details. We also voiced potential difficulties for the ideas on the list so that we can either further develop them and produce possible solutions, or eliminate them because of their low feasibility.
We then narrowed down our ideas by grouping similar ones into bigger themes. We also referred back to the main findings in our user research, to make sure that all the themes we identified can address at least one of the main concerns of our users.
Eventually, we narrowed our ideas down to the following four large themes that address our users’ concerns from different perspectives. The first two concepts primarily address the need of emerging adults aged between 18 and 25, while the last two concepts target parents of late adolescents.
Design Alternatives
We first quickly sketched out our four ideas on paper and discussed the main functionalities in each concept.
After that, we created a usage scenario for each concept, and drew out wireframes for crucial screens that represent the essence of our ideas. We then showed the following concepts and scenarios to potential users, and asked them about their preferences and their feedback on our designs.
Concept 1
Our first concept leverages push notifications to encourage users (emerging adults) to provide feedback to themselves over time. With the user's own input, the system can generate personalized financial advice for the user.
Concept 2
Concept 2 enables users (emerging adults) to set long-term financial goals, and clearly visualize how their current saving/spending behaviors can influence these goals. It brings distant financial concepts closer to users and provides actionable suggestions on what users can do now to achieve their goals in the future.
Concept 3
Our third concept provides a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for parents to discuss financial matters with their children. It includes actionable steps parents can follow to involve their children in major financial decisions in the family.
Concept 4
Concept 4 aims at giving children a sense of agency by giving them a portion of the family's budget and letting them make spending decisions under the guidance of their parents. Parents will provide rewards depending on how well their children spend the money.
User Feedback & Design Implications
After gathering feedback from 15 users, we decided to proceed with Concept 1 as our core concept, and incorporate the short-term financial status analysis feature from Concept 2 into our final design.
Most users preferred Concept 1 and Concept 2, which target emerging adults. For Concept 3 and Concept 4, participants believed that parents might not want to follow the instructions in the tool, and might want to carry out our supported tasks outside of our tool. Though the aim of these concepts is to provide a much-needed platform for parents to start conversations on personal finance with their children, most users cannot see it happening. Therefore, we decided to narrow our choices down to Concept 1 and Concept 2, and target emerging adults only.
Several participants also pointed out that visualizing one's future financial conditions based on current saving/spending behaviors might not make sense for emerging adults. People between 18 and 25 are generally in the process of choosing a field of study or exploring career opportunities; it's usually unclear to them how their financial conditions might change depending on their careers changes. As a result, Concept 2 might not seem appealing to emerging adults. However, participants did mention that having a short-term financial status analysis feature (with no long-term goal setting) is beneficial. Therefore, we incorporated the short-term financial status analysis feature into our final design.
We also derived several design implications from participants' feedback on Concept 1 and Concept 2. Here are some examples:
Information Architecture
With the design implications, we brainstormed the information architecture of our application individually, before meeting as a group and coming up with the following information architecture design:
Wireframes
We created the following wireframes to make our ideas more concrete, and to make sure that the Information Architecture we derived make sense.

Design Considerations
Encouraging Frequent Reflections
Designing for AI
Evaluate
Usability Testing
The aims of our evaluation sessions are 1) to identify usability problems with our current design and 2) to assess the learnability of our application.
To evaluate the usability of the system, we developed the following 4 tasks that cover all the main features we have in our application.
After providing a high-level description of our application's core functionalities and letting users freely explore it for 2 minutes, we let users accomplish the 4 tasks one at a time while thinking aloud. We then let our users fill out a questionnaire asking their demographic information, their purchasing habits, and their subjective ratings of the usability of the app (adapted from the System Usability Scale, or SUS).
To measure the learnability of our app, we let our users accomplish the 4 tasks again after they fill out the questionnaire. Since the problem we are tackling through our design is complex, and our app inevitably introduces new concepts to our users, we don't expect our users to understand them immediately. However, we believe that our users should easily understand the core functionalities of our app after their first use. Therefore, we asked users to compare their experiences completing the tasks in the two rounds of testing.
Finally, we asked our users some general questions about their favorite and least favorite parts of the design, whether they understand the new concepts we brought in, etc.
Users' subjective rating of the app indicated that even though the system is inherently complex, it is highly usable and learnable.
For issues raised by multiple users, we derived the following design directions, grouped by tab.

Thank God for Tina Fey. She has, among other things, (such as being hilarious!) made the once-nerdy glasses "nerdy-chic". Still, whenever I'm bespectacled, I can't help but remember the old idiotic adage: "Girls with glasses don't get passes", which makes me want to punch myself twice, once for being superficial, and another time for being a bad feminist.
Anyways, I had a ball picking out these fun glasses at Zenni Optical, where they were having a great "Buy 2 get 1 free" sort of deal. The total was only around $50 for 3 glasses which is a very, very good price. Overall I was quite pleased with my order although it was a bit slow--the quality is not bad for plastic frames, and the prescription feels good. The only thing is that their factories are located in China so that may lead to further ethical investigations especially since their prices are so low, but we will save that for another discussion.
Round Frames
Nerdy Aviators (for Hackathons, 3-am coding sessions, etc.)
Retro Cat-Eyed
Side note: I am proud to say these are the product of nerd power and hope to fuel some more nerdy projects (as anyone who is a Computer Scientist knows, programming with contacts in is a very bad idea)! The money I used to buy them was taken from a prize I won at the Columbia University DevFest in the first week of January (well, the prize was a Kindle but I prefer my books on paper so I sold that on Craigslist).


I have always had a passion
for cars especially sports cars.
I am very interested in classical
sports cars as they all have
some
kind of a story behind
them. I'd say if I had to pick a
classical car
it'd probably have to be
the ac cobra. Mainly due down to the
retro style and specs of the car.
I have a passion and interest in Architecture
as I've always observed the structuring and
style of buildings. I am particulary
interested
in Antoni Gaudi's work as the inpressionist
stlye is aesthetically appealing.I am also
into alot of modern
styled buildings and
structures that have been designed by
architects such as Frank Gehry, as the use
of geometry also interests me.
Star wars has been an interest of
mine since an early age. I would say
I like the imagination and sci-fi style
that
goes into making the films. I don't
really have a favourite although I do
prefer the 2nd trilogy compared to the
1st.
I'd say my favourite character would
have to be yoda or possibly R2-D2.
I also use to collect figurines and
collectables some of which I still have.
Space has always fascianted me since
an early age. I have a huge interest in
space as much of it is unknown and un-
explored and that
really makes me
curious and gains my interest. I also
find the structuring of solar systems
fascinating and it really makes me
curious as to how these structures
were formed.
Technology has been a huge interest
to me for as far as I could remember. I
have a lot of passion for technology
as it's something that has always made
me
curious and willing to learn how
certain types of technologies work
and function.
It's one of the reasons
why I am studying a computer science
degree as I'd like to go
within the industry.
I've had an interest for Marvel for quite
a few years. I first got into Marvel when
the Iron man trilogy
came out. This then
got me interested in other movies
(superheroes) such as Thor , Captain
America and
a few others. I would not
say I'm a huge fan but It does really
appeal to me.
I have always been interested in
reading and books in general. I am
mainly into non-fiction however I do
like certain fictional books such as
"The Great Gatsby" and The Harry
Potter saga. I mainly like
non-fiction
as I like reading about facts and
learning more about the world.
Museums and galleries have always
been an interest of mine as I like
learning new things not only just
reading
about artifacts and artworks but actually
viewing them and learning more behind
the history
behind the artwork or
the historical artifact.
I have a passion for music as I believe music
plays a huge parts of our lives. I don't really
have a certain taste
when it comes to music
as the genre or style of music depends on
the mood I'm in. I do however have a particular
liking to instrumental music especially classical music as I use classical music to relax and to concentrate when
I'm working.

Homemade "Faces of Death" videos selling in Iraq
BBC | Submitted by: Serge Groven
"Videotapes showing people being tortured and executed by Saddam Hussein's regime are being bought on the streets of Baghdad by Iraqis anxious to trace missing relatives. Most of the tapes date from the Shia Muslim insurgency that erupted after the first President George Bush urged Iraqis to overthrow the former Iraqi leader in the wake of the 1991 Gulf War. ... One vendor said Iraqis buying the tapes of executions wanted to see for themselves what happened during Saddam Hussein's regime."

Saddam paying bounties for dead U.S. soldiers
AZ Central | Submitted by: Tim Howard
"Saddam Hussein has been seen north of Baghdad and is paying a bounty for every American soldier killed, the leader of an Iraqi exile group said Tuesday. Saddam has $1.3 billion in cash taken from the Central Bank on March 18, is bent on revenge, and believes he can 'sit it out and get the Americans going,' said Ahmed Chalabi, head of the Iraqi National Congress. But Saddam also bought suicide vests for himself and his secretary on April 1 from the mukhabarat, the Iraqi secret police, he said."

Man emulates INXS singer's final sex act
The Sun | Submitted by: Dirty Sammy
"A British teacher has died in a sex game after watching a TV documentary about the 'sex acrobatics' of former INXS singer Michael Hutchence. Jonathan Waldron, 25, was strangled after tying a cord around his neck and fixing it to a window handle in similar circumstances to Hutchence's death. Hutchence was found dead in a Sydney hotel room in 1997 naked and hanging from a cord. Although an inquest ruled Hutchence had committed suicide, friends say he died accidentally in an act of autoerotic asphyxiation."

Odds for apocalypse put at 50-50
Wire Services | Submitted by: Tim Howard
"This is the way the world might end: A genetically engineered pathogen is released, debris from an erupting 'supervolcano' blocks the sun or scientists in the biggest 'bioerror' of them all accidentally trigger a matter-squeezing 'big bang.' The demise of civilisation has been predicted since it began, but the odds of keeping Planet Earth alive and well are getting worse amid a break-neck pace of scientific advances, according to Martin Rees, Britain's honorary astronomer royal. Rees calculates that the odds of an apocalyptic disaster striking Earth have risen to about 50 percent from 20 percent 100 years ago."

Iraqi museum looting vastly exaggerated
Washington Post | Submitted by: Crazy Quagga
"The museum was indeed heavily looted, but its Iraqi directors confirmed today that the losses at the institute did not number 170,000 artifacts as originally reported in news accounts. Actually, about 33 priceless vases, statues and jewels were missing. ... On Saturday, a team of U.S. investigators from the Customs Service and State Department released a summary of a preliminary report that concluded that 3,000 pieces were missing. And more importantly, of the 8,000 or so exhibit-quality, world-class pieces of jewelry, statues and cuneiform clay tablets, only 47 were unaccounted for."

Man somewhat remorseful for keeping sex slaves
AZ Central | Submitted by: Tim Howard
"A retired handyman pleaded guilty Tuesday to holding five women captive as sex slaves in an underground dungeon, two months after one of the victims escaped and made a frantic phone call that led to his arrest. ... 'He's been very agitated and remorse-stricken. He's been very troubled at times over the past several weeks,' said J. Michael Forsyth, Jamelske's lawyer. When asked if Jamelske knew what he was did was wrong, Forsyth said, 'It took a while for him to come around to that realization.'" [And do you think maybe getting caught served as the catalyst for this emotional growth experience?]

It is simply an open source application framework that is easy to install, easy to set up, and easy to use because it requires just a minimal tech expertise. Even a school kid can do it themself!
NextCORRAD is locally developed product by BUMIPUTRA technologist. We build and develop the product tailored to local requirement. Our vast experience of more than 20 years in software development is an added advantage to produce a software development tools that suitable for local software development project.
CORRAD is 100% open source product running on PHP as the backbone language without any third party technology. CORRAD supports leading databases such as MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle RDBMS, Sybase. Other databases could be used as we can create the database classes for the data access.
CORRAD is design on 3-tier application layer which compromises of the presentation layer, the business layer and the database layer. These layers are described as below:-
A 3-tier application layers uses the client/server computing model. With three tiers or parts, each part can be developed concurrently by different team of programmers coding in different languages from the other tier developers. Because the programming for a tier can be changed or relocated without affecting the other tiers, the 3-tier model makes it easier for an enterprise or software packages to continually evolve an application as new needs and opportunities arise. Existing applications or critical parts can be permanently or temporarily retained and encapsulated within the new tier of which it becomes a component.
