CPR in the Field

Everyone knows what CPR means. It means saving a life with certain breathing techniques and chest compressions when one’s heart has stopped beating. Right?

Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation literally means heart lung revival. That puts it in a slightly different light but still sounds promising.

We’ve all seen it work over and over again on television, but is that a reflection of real life CPR? I can tell you that it is not whether in the hospital or on the street. Fewer than 20% of in-hospital recipients of CPR live to be discharged. And, this is with a team of highly skilled professionals, IV medications, and defibrillators to shock the heart.

Many people today are trained in CPR, and that is a good thing. I’m sure that most take the training with the expectation of being able to save lives. It does happen, but the chances of being unsuccessful are high and this is often an extremely hard outcome to accept. If occurring in the clinical area there are several people involved, but if you are performing CPR as a layperson or even a professional in the field you are often alone and it is a formidable responsibility. It can be extremely difficult to overcome emotionally when one is unsuccessful.

My Experience

Many years ago I was an Emergency Department (ED) Registered Nurse (RN). I was used to “codes” which was the word we used when a patient went into cardiopulmonary arrest. Everyone worked together as a team. We started IVs,  did chest compressions charged and used a defibrillator and we continued until the patient was either revived or pronounced dead. Needless to say with all the needed supplies and professionals working together we often were able to revive the patient and send them on to the Intensive Care Department. From there we lost track of their progress or lack thereof. We went on to the next emergency. I was used to “saves” in that environment.

When my own sixty-nine year-old father had a cardiac arrest at home it was a totally different world. My Mom wept nearby. A neighbor wrung her hands. There was no one to help as I did CPR alone for over twenty minutes while we awaited the ambulance and EMTs to arrive. I felt his sternum crack. Was I compressing his chest too hard? I became short of breath. Was I breathing the right ratio for him? My mouth bled. My father turned blue, first his ears and then his lips.

My father died that day and I have never stopped blaming myself. How could an ED RN not save her own father? My brain itemizes many factors to answer that question, but my heart keeps saying, “I’m so sorry Daddy, I’m so sorry.”

I’ve shared this to warn those of you who are so altruistically prepared to perform CPR that it might not work. It might not be possible.

Please do be trained. Please do try if you are given the opportunity. But, please also know that it is not always in your power and be prepared to live with that possibility.

  1. Thanks for sharing this very personal experience. We all have those events in our past which we feel guilty about. I, too, feel very responsible for some events an daily question whether I did things right. It is hard to find peace with it.
    Good information on CPR training and the reality and responsibility attached.

ATO to Target Crypto Traders Using International Data Agreements

Australia’s financial press is expecting that the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will take a hard stance on cryptocurrency investors this tax season, with the ATO recently vowing to leverage international data-matching agreements in order to track the taxation obligations of Australian cryptocurrency traders.

ATO to Leverage International Data-Matching Agreements to Target Crypto Traders

ATO to Target Crypto Traders Using International Data AgreementsThe Australian Tax Office has announced that it will leverage data sharing agreements made between Australia and other nations to determine the tax obligations of Australian cryptocurrency investors.

“We’re alert to the potential compliance risks that arise from cryptocurrencies but we’re not really alarmed about them,” ATO acting deputy commissioner Martin Jacobs told Australian Financial Review.

“Where people attempt to deliberately avoid these obligations we will attempt to take action. We have a range of existing powers that are designed to address unexplained wealth and conspicuous consumption that may arise through profits derived through cryptocurrency investment,” Mr. Jacobs added.

Mr. Jacobs also emphasized that changes to anti-money laundering rules mandating that Australian crypto exchanges identify wallet holders “will enable data exchanges to collect cryptocurrency trading information, which we’ll be able to access and use in our engagement activities.”

Many Traders May be Unaware of Tax Obligations

ATO to Target Crypto Traders Using International Data AgreementsPaul Drum of accounting firm CPA Australia has speculated many Australian cryptocurrency users may not be fully aware of their tax obligations, stating “We’re at the pointy end of a financial year of seismic profits and if people were thinking they could fly under the radar, I’ve got bad news. […] People wrongly believe they’re getting a windfall gain that isn’t taxed. That could be a costly mistake.”

Mr. Drum also warned that many cryptocurrency traders are not aware of the tax event triggered by each “disposal” of virtual currency holdings, emphasizing that cryptocurrency-to-cryptocurrency trades require that traders declare any profits generated. “Even if you traded your ripples for bitcoin, you have to figure out whether you made a profit on the trade,” he said.

ATO Criticized Over Opaque Tax Guidance for Cryptocurrency Users

ATO to Target Crypto Traders Using International Data AgreementsAustralian Financial Review recently spoke to Adam Dimac of legal firm Hall and Wilcox, who are currently representing “Max” – an Australian lawyer who is currently in a dispute with the ATO regarding how his $7 million in cryptocurrency holdings should be taxed.

Mr. Dimac emphasized the lack of clarity surrounding the ATO’s regulations, stating “There are a lot of technical issues for which there is just no guidance at all. One example is initial coin offerings. From a tax point of view, there’s basically no guidance on how they are treated. It’s really new ground.”

Max’s lawyers are seeking to argue the personal use exemption. However, Mr. Dimac concedes that the team is “hearing it’s going to be hard to argue the personal use exemption. There are individuals who can genuinely say ‘yeah, I went into this out of intellectual curiosity and as a hobby. I’m a Millennial and this is how I think, I like to challenge the status quo. Five years later, it’s become $10 million.’ But nobody quite knows how the ATO is going to view it because everyone’s circumstances are different. And even then, the ATO is developing their thinking over time as they come to consider different scenarios and new cryptos come into the market.”

Laura Spencer of Sladen Legal also believes that the ATO has failed to provide sufficient guidance regarding the tax obligations of cryptocurrency investors, stating that “The insufficient guidelines and absence of case law in this area of tax leaves early adopters of cryptocurrencies in great uncertainty. As the treatment of cryptocurrencies will play an even greater role in the future, we await further comments from the commissioner.”

A couple of local lamers asked Moskwa TV ? So the local lamers asked another local "LAMER". Very funny indeed. Trans-X wasn't "Elite" in any way.

Probably the most non-s.e.u.c.k.-looking s.e.u.c.k game i have seen (which i find impressive). Very nice atmosphere. I am not into this type of game and the interaction feel is a bit whacky, but it is really nice looking and i would have loved to have this back in the days!

Pride Center’s Sarina Loeb Recognized by LA City Council for LGBTQ Advocacy

When Sarina Loeb ’13 (M.S., College Counseling Student Services) was a graduate student at California State University, Northridge, one of her goals was to run a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) resource center. She fulfilled that goal in 2012, becoming the first coordinator of CSUN’s Pride Center when it opened that year.

Loeb was the perfect fit to run the Pride Center because of her passion and dedication for the LGBTQ community.

“It’s a dream come true — to be able to give back to my community is unbelievable, and work at the campus I have my degree from, that I am an alum of, is amazing,” Loeb said.

Loeb grew up in the San Fernando Valley and knew she wanted to educate people about the LGBTQ community and advocate for their needs, she said. She came out as queer her sophomore year in college, when there were few resources for queer people and no LGBTQ center at her university.

Loeb takes pride in her work, helping to fill that void and making CSUN’s Pride Center an inclusive place to just “be you” on campus, she said.

Her efforts recently were recognized by Los Angeles City Councilmember Mitchell Englander, who in May named Loeb the LGBT Heritage Month honoree for LA’s 12th District.

“It is an honor to be recognized for this achievement and for the Pride Center to be recognized. My recognition would not be possible without the hard work of my team of students who work at the Pride Center and the support of the University Student Union,” Loeb said.

Loeb was invited to the city’s LGBT Heritage Month opening ceremony to accept her award, and Englander tweeted about his appreciation for her work and passion for the Pride Center and LGBTQ community.

“On behalf of my office and the City of Los Angeles, we commend Sarina on her dedication to our residents and thank her for her deep involvement in LGBTQ student organizations and initiatives that continually strengthen CSUN and our community,” Englander tweeted.

While working on her master’s degree in college counseling in CSUN’s Michael D. Eisner College of Education, Loeb met University Student Union Executive Director Debra Hammond, who soon became a mentor.

“People who mentor like people who are eager to learn, are willing to look at themselves, figure out how they can move to the next level and what it takes to get there,” Hammond said. “Sarina has that ability to look at herself and figure out what she needs to do in order to move forward.”

After completing her master’s degree, Loeb told Hammond about her desire to work with the LGBTQ community. Hammond recognized that Loeb was a perfect candidate to advocate for the needs of CSUN students, in particular LGBTQ students.

“We brought her on board to help develop the Pride Center and the Veterans Center at the same time,” Hammond said. “I have seen her growth over the years, and one thing that is very clear to me is her commitment to serving the LGBTQ community.”

“The first day the doors opened to the Pride Center, to see the students coming into the space and hanging out and utilizing the services was a dream come true,” Loeb said.

Since the center’s opening in 2012, Loeb has advocated on behalf of CSUN students and hosted LGBTQ inclusivity workshops for faculty and staff across campus. She also has trained students as peer mentors, to offer support to LGBTQ students who come to the center.

“It is definitely rewarding to share my knowledge and to be able to support my colleagues on campus in their own development,” she said. “One of my favorite parts of the job is working with students and doing outreach to staff and faculty.”

: Mindful(less) :

The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper-

From an early age, I was led to believe that I needed to become a “better” and “improved” version of myself, even if at first I didn’t exactly understand why. When I was young lad, I found myself inured with the basic belief that the main underlying issue to all my problems wasMe. I’m what’s wrong in the world. These thoughts have stayed with me my entire life, even now, writing to you with an open heart and mind. I have traveled the world far and wide; taken to heart many self-help books, sought out the best doctors and healers, consulted spiritual folks whose motives were unclear at the time. Everything and anything else you can imagine, all in an effort to make myself just good enough.

Many of you reading tenderly this early Spring morning, may be thinking that mindfulness, spirituality and self-help are one in the same – the latest trend to follow or a conversation starter at your local yoga studio. I don’t believe they are. Using myself as a relatively small sample size, I believe they are fundamentally different. Our society is currently in the process of turning mindfulness into an endless stream of self-help profits – Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction seminars and many other method(s) for correcting our life long ailments. What these programs do, is to misrepresent the awakening that discovering our own spirit offers.

Mindfulness is not about “fixing” anything even remotely spiritual or becoming spiritually better off than anyone else. There is no price tag attached to mindfulness. For myself, mindfulness is freedom. Freedom from the belief of my unworthiness in our mad world Mindfulness is about acceptance. Mindfulness, when I find myself at the edge of tears after a bad day, is about meeting (again) who we really are, and allowing ourselves to experience this amazing world, in this raw, unsettling moment.

My deepest apologies for being absent Dear Readers. May all your hearts be filled with warmth and happiness this weekend – Take care!

CultFit Self

Open : Heart :

Gracious acceptance is an art – an art which most never bother to cultivate. We think that we have to learn how to give, but we forget about accepting things, which can be much harder than giving…. Accepting another person’s gift is allowing him to express his feelings for you-

Throughout our live(s) we have been led to believe that giving outweighs receiving. During the Christmas/Holiday/Festivus season, the humble “art” of giving serves as a counterbalance to society(s) increasing narcissism and isolation. Witnessing what others need to be happy requires compassion and kindness, your head to be up, eyes forward, heart open As I walk along Regent Street, I asked myself – aloud– waiting to cross Lensfield road, a rather simple question walking to class yesterday afternoon:

Can we openly allow ourselves to be nourished by a strangers kindness? If so, how deeply do we let it in?

Weaving through the arriviste crowd onto Hills Road, I turn a corner. Life goes on.

I love going on lazy walks (especially when its 60°F in December), and as strange and awkward as it may seem (those of you who know my true shy nature) I really enjoy sharing a smile, or a “good afternoon” to those passing along in the opposite direction. In Cambridge, when I pass along a favor of stepping aside for another cyclist, the hammering of their affectionately adorned brass cycling bell, ringing in my ears When I smile and say “hello” to a group of walkers sauntering closer to me? I’m not sure if they feel awkward, shy, or are they simply not used to people sharing kindness?

Lost in the folds of these fleeting greetings, my awkwardness and whatever, the beauty of the gift slips out of their hands. This slight on their part, eats away at me, and my mind often travels to a dark area. Where each and every question I ask myself, diminishes my ability to share compassion and kindness. I feel guilty, I continue moving on with my head down. Life goes on.

Daily Meditation:

A salve for my loneliness, my increasing isolation walking to yoga class along Union Road? Is taking a moment to pause, to seek out more opportunities to share compassion and kindness when the odium comes flying in my general direction.

Trying to tie my shoes, clumsy, not able to work out
the logic of it, fumbling, as my father stands there,
his anger growing over a son who can’t even do
this simplest thing for the first time, can’t even manage
the knot to keep his shoes on—You think someone’s
going to tie your shoes for you the rest of your life?—
No, I answer, forty-five years later, tying my shoe,
hands trembling with this memory. My father
and all those years of childhood not being able to work out
how he loved me, a knot so tight it has taken all my life
to untie.

: Alone :

I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel-

For the past two years in late August, I bike for nearly ten hours, one hundred plus miles, into the picturesque countryside around Omaha, Nebraska.. Out here, I don’t have a laptop, a navigation gadget, or anyone to talk to. It’s just me and my bike, and a few Western Meadowlarks greeting me kindly.

The first twenty miles are the hardest. I’m on an adrenaline high at first, I wake early and start riding East, where the brilliant glow of a sunrise brings a smile to my tired face. The air is clear on these desolate gravel roads, there is no sound of traffic, yet suddenly – I start to feel lonesome. I feel an urge to text a picture of what I am witnessing to someone, and when I realize I can’t, my phone is resting at home in the garage, a feeling  of anxiety pours over me. I can’t turn back now as I turn south into a gentle breeze, so I begin to listen to my thoughts; I go over the events of the week, honoring my thoughts makes me feel less stirred up. Something surprising happens mid-ride, I feel a sense of peace. There is no particular switch that is flipped, I recall thinking at the time: I’m alone, and I’m happy.

Rarely do I get lonely riding anymore. I have loved ones and friends in my life whom I deeply cherish and value, yet, I don’t feel the need to be with them constantly. While it’s wonderful to go on a weekly group ride, I also happily wave so long to them when they turn around to head home, and I continue on  My time, this tender moment, is completely my own again.

I don’t partake in these grueling rides to prove anything. I’m out there, because I have fully surrendered to the power of solitude. It has taught me so much about myself. Most importantly, there’s no one to share opinions with, about who I am or what I’m doing. I don’t have a FaceTube status to update, nor do I have a future conversation with someone sloshing between my ears. What hits home the hardest is when I hit the 100+ mile marker, when I’m alone this much on a bike – man and machine, I can’t turn my back and avoid the problems in my life or allow a stray emotion to weigh me down. I can’t distract myself by blogging  or surfing the net. What shines through, is the warm glow of my heart.

Time passes differently after 120 miles. I once watched a young doe leap over an eight foot fence from standing; slowing down as she turned to look at me, the sun passed directly overhead during this time, and I didn’t even notice I was heading West. I patiently listen to the wind as I unzip my jersey to cool off as I head home.

Daily Meditation:

The most exhausting part of the ride, is heading home. I have forgotten about the traffic late at night, the stimulation, the nauseating advertisements seemingly everywhere. Sprinklers running, dogs barking, are a jolt to my body … Although friends, the cold shower awaiting me is simply divine.

: Fantasy :

Gaze into the fire, into the clouds, and as soon as the inner voices begin to speak… surrender to them. Don’t ask first whether it’s permitted, or would please your teachers or father or some god. You will ruin yourself if you do that-

There are many misconceptions about the role “results” play in achieving our goals (whatever they may be.)

We should define a couple of words before we move on – outcome and process. An outcome is centered on results, beating others and posting it on social media. A process involves focusing on what we need to do perform our very best, such as how we prepare and nurture our souls, training, or even practicing mindfulness. Notice how an outcome is focused on “things” outside of you. While in contrast, a process is focused entirely on you?

Most of us think that (myself included at times), in order to get the results we want, we need to focus on those results. Wanna get better at yoga? Gotta be more flexible! Loose a few pounds before summer begins … When does the outcome of a competition occur? At the end of course. If we become obsessed on the outcome, we are not focused on the process – What we need to do to perform our best from the start to the finish. What makes you nervous before yoga class or a big ride, the process or the outcome? It’s the outcome, and more specifically, a bad outcome such as not performing well or tumbling over trying to reach your “peak” pose. When we focus on the outcome, we are far less likely to get the outcome we want.

When we pause to focus on the process, we increase the chances of achieving the results we so richly deserve.

Daily Meditation:

Sometimes, I can’t shift my heart from the outcome to process, the best thing I can do when this happens, is to get out of my mind completely. In other words, I go for an early morning walk, bike ride, or like yesterday morning – yoga practice in a quiet park. These moments gently take me from thinking about the outcome to, feeling the process.

: Seeds :

It has always seemed that a fear of judgment is the mark of guilt and the burden of insecurity-

I ask of you on this lovely May morning – Are you really curious how the next five, ten, fifteen years of your life will look like?

Possibility and wonder flourish in the wide open spaces of uncertainty. If we were absolutely certain about how everything would turn out in our lives, we would have no room to consider what might happen if we choose a different direction, a different path altogether. Imagine how “life” might be like stuck in an endless one-way street, on a set deserted railroad tracks with rails so straight and narrow, we would never be able to see beyond our next step.

When we pause to think about it, like our beautiful lives, a seed is both fragile and dense with endless possibility. Provided with the proper conditions, a tiny seed can grow to be a beautiful tree or a plant that bears yummy fruit, flowers or those things called vegetables! In our hyper connected world it pays to remember that a seed grows at its own pace. For that seed to be its absolute best, it will need plenty of love, compassion, kindness and care.

Friends, we are no different, anticipation of what could be possible, is what makes life exciting. In order to breathe possibility into reality, we need fertile ground, a stable environment and a warm, kind and compassionate heart.

Daily Meditation:

May a dose of uncertainty grace your lives this morning What will become of this seed, your life? Only you possess the magic, that is your frigging awesome life, in the palm of your loving hands.

First Yoga Lesson

“Be a lotus in the pond,” she said, “opening
slowly, no single energy tugging
against another but peacefully,
all together.”

I couldn’t even touch my toes.
“Feel your quadriceps stretching?” she asked.
Well, something was certainly stretching.

Standing impressively upright, she
raised one leg and placed it against
the other, then lifted her arms and
shook her hands like leaves. “Be a tree,” she said.

I lay on the floor, exhausted.
But to be a lotus in the pond
opening slowly, and very slowly rising–
that I could do.

C Complier Errors With Memory-Optimized Objects

Arun Sirpal ran into an issue with memory-optimized tables:

Naturally (whether right or wrong) I thought that it could be corruption and I didn’t want to rule it out. I headed straight to the error log to see if it could guide me, all this did was confuse me. However after some research it led me to conclude that “Unable to call into the C compiler GetLastError = 2” for the specific error code shown below meant that a specific file(s) could not be found, I was thinking exactly what file(s)?

This is a snippet from the error log when the database went through recovery – Seems to even struggle during the analysis phase and the checkpoint failure was throwing me off slightly.

It’s worth reading in case you experience this error.

What are the Benefits of Attending a Booksellers Trade Show like the NCIBA?

Until a question arrived in an e-mail asking what the benefits were for attending a bookseller’s trade show (like the NCIBA in October 2010), it did not occur to me that was an important topic to cover.

The NCIBA trade show benefits booksellers, publishers and authors with a book/s in print.

The American Booksellers Association (ABA – http://www.indiebound.org/indie-bestsellers) is divided into several regions. The NCIBA (Northern California Independent Booksellers Association) has the most members because there are more bookstores in and around San Francisco than any city in the United States.

Attending the NCIBA trade show in October provides an opportunity for publishers and authors to rub shoulders and talk to booksellers.  If fortunate, that might lead to an author’s book being placed on shelves in bookstores. If the bookseller really likes the book, they will hand sell it to customers they know will enjoy reading it. Independent booksellers know their customers and they are in the business to sell books.

Any author with a book or books in print will have opportunities to talk to booksellers, hand them free review copies, or hand out flyers or postcards or bookmarks or business cards, etc.

Until this opportunity surfaced, I was planning to hit the road and start visiting bookstores to talk to the owners and managers about my books. Attending this trade show achieves that purpose in a few days without  burning tons of gas and spending hundreds of hours driving hundreds of miles.

There is no guarantee that booksellers will love all of our books but if we don’t get out there, we will never know.

If you are a member of the CWC and you want to read more about these trade shows (or the NCIBA trade show in October), this link will take you to the password protected post on this Website. http://wp.me/pIExr-1b  The president of your branch has the password–sent in an e-mail on 3/22/10.

  • Testing Pages
Skip to end of metadata
Go to start of metadata

Here's a bit of what I've found out while writing tests for Wicket. The code is using Wicket 1.2 beta 3, but most of it should apply to 1.1.1 as well.

  • To avoid code duplication, you can extend WicketTester to start in the application path you want through the WicketTester(String path) constructor. It might also be useful to add common initialization for all tests (like basic services and such) and provide an accessible method to add your standard authorization strategy for tests that need it (not all my tests do, in fact most don't). For instance:
     public class AppTester extends WicketTester {
        public AppTester() {
        public void initialize() { // not always called
            getSecuritySettings().setAuthorizationStrategy(new AdminAuthStrategy());
        protected ISessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
            return new AdminSessionFactory(this);
  • Similarly, you may extend JUnit's testcase (when it makes sense) to instantiate your tester.
  • There are 2 things I usually test on a page: proper navigation and proper data binding. Data binding also includes correct data validation and error messaging. The following is an easy way to test the result of attribute modifiers (see also the mailing for few pointers to the source code of AjaxResponseTarget.respondComponent() as an example):
      // e.g., Your TestCase -class
      private final static Method getReplaceModelMethod;
      static {
        try {
          getReplaceModelMethod = AttributeModifier.class.getDeclaredMethod("getReplaceModel");
        } catch (Exception e) {
          throw new RuntimeException(e);
      public void assertAttribute(String message, String expected, Component component, String attribute) {
        AttributeModifier behavior = getAttributeModifier(component, attribute);
        if (behavior != null) {
          try {
            IModel<?> model = (IModel<?>) getReplaceModelMethod.invoke(behavior);
            assertEquals(message, expected, model.getObject().toString());
          } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        fail("Attribute not found.");
  • For data binding tests, I usually separate them in 2 parts:
    • Data->HTML (rendering): for this test, set your data on the database (through your services if you can) or pass it in the constructor of your class, then check if the correct components were generated and the data was correctly bound to the models of those components (when applicable. For instance:
          public void testRender() {
              // add some values directly to the database, to check the rendering (services are not flexible enough for me)
              // template here is a Spring JDBCTemplate, which is quite useful for running direct SQL queries without much red-tape
                       "update config set value='sampleuser' where name='userName';" +
                       "update config set value='samplepass' where name='password';" +
                       "update config set value='true' where name='allowOffsiteAccess';" +
                       "update config set value='sampleiprange,anotherip' where name='trustedIPRange';" +
              // start the page - my page is package protected for better encapsulation, so I need an ITestPageSource
              // if the page takes parameters, just pass them to the constructor instead of setting them
              // through the database (that allows for better reuse)
              // [tester] here is an instance of my AppTester described above
              tester.startPage(new ITestPageSource() {
                  public Page getTestPage() { return new ChangeOffSiteAccessPage(); }
              // check that the right page was rendered (no unexpected redirect or intercept)
              // assert that there's no error message
              // check that the right components are in the page
              tester.assertComponent("feedback", FeedbackPanel.class);
              tester.assertComponent("form", Form.class);
              // ok, now check not only that the component is present, but also that the model object
              // contains the correct value (was correctly bound)
              tester.assertComponent("form:username", TextField.class);
              final TextField usernameField = (TextField) tester.getComponentFromLastRenderedPage("form:username");
              assertEquals("sampleuser", usernameField.getModelObject());
              ... other components
    • HTML->Data (form submitting): this test verifies that the data you set on the form components gets sent to the correct data objects, and that the correct data validation and type conversion gets done. The code for those tests is typically centered around the FormTester. Below is an example of it:
          public void testInvalidLogin() {
              // create the form tester object, mapping to its wicket:id
              FormTester form = tester.newFormTester("form");
              // set the parameters for each component in the form
              // notice that the name is relative to the form - so it's 'username', not 'form:username' as in assertComponent
              form.setValue("username", "test");
              // unset value is empty string (wicket binds this to null, so careful if your setter does not expect nulls)
              form.setValue("password", "");
              // slight pain in the butt, for RadioGroups the value string is a bit complicated
              // I believe it's the pageversion followed by the complete component name (not the relative, now) then the id for the choice itself
              // the easiest way is to render the page once and then copy & paste
              // pageversion didn't seem to have an effect, so I always replace it by 0
              form.setValue("offSiteAccessEnabled", "0:form:offSiteAccessEnabled:Yes");
              // another one to pay attention: listviews
              // here I have a 3 column iteration through a listview with 10 rows iterating through another listview
              // so it's the listview followed by the row id followed by the inner component in the listview
              form.setValue("addressRow:0:addressColumn:0:mask", "");
              // all set, submit
              // check if the page is correct: in this case, I'm expecting an error to take me back to the same page
              // check if the error message is the one expected (you should use wicket's internationalization for this)
              // if you're not expecting an error (testing for submit successful) use assertNoErrorMessage() instead
              tester.assertErrorMessages(new String[] { "A Login and Password are required to enable offsite access." });
  • For navigation tests, in most cases you can use the assertRenderedPage(Class) method. You can follow links by submitting the forms or clicking the link. Below are a couple of examples:
        public void testCancelLink() {
            ... clicked on cancel, verify that the data was not changed in any way
        public void testGenerateQueryReport() throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
            // this one is a bit more interesting, as this page does a download-on-submit
            ... prepare the data for the test
            // prepare the form, fill the data, and submit
            final FormTester form = prepareFormTester();
            form.setValue("dataType", "0:form:dataType:query");
            // check that the submit created a download link
            final MockHttpServletResponse servletResponse = tester.getServletResponse();
            // in this case it's a CSV report, so just convert the whole thing to a string
            final String report = new String(servletResponse.getBinaryContent(), servletResponse.getCharacterEncoding());
            // compare it
            assertEquals("QUERY COUNT\n\n", report);
  • A few random testing tips:
    • Code reuse is important, but test code clarity is essential. No one tests for tests, so if tests are too complex due to heavy inheritance or intricate execution paths, they will contain bugs themselves, defeating the purpose of testing in the first place.
    • Test execution time is important too, if tests take 20 minutes to run you won't run them often (if ever). Try to avoid tests that rely heavily on the database, or create mock objects for the services those rely on.
    • In my code, most pages have package (default) scope. This decreases the apparent complexity of the system (you only need to know a few pages at a time), decreases coupling and makes the packages more cohesive. However, Wicket's relatively heavy use of reflection will cause runtime exceptions sometimes. Just be sure to touch all pages/panels during tests (unit tests AND manual tests).

Be. Don‘t try to become

Be the person you want to be

Imagine how your life would be if you were able to totally set the power of your personality free. It sounds simple. But unfortunately a lot of people do not feel genuine. Instead of being convincing, they are fulfilling a role – instead of living, they are fulfilling obligations.

Do you have the feeling that there is more to you than you are actually “letting out” right now? What would it be like if you would live the way you actually want to? And go a step further and think how would it be if you could inspire others and take them along on the journey?

Being authentic and reconciling your inner personality with your life on the outside is one of the greatest challenges for every one of us. Many of us live and work with the brakes on – and that is frustrating – for us and for others as well.

Continuing to develop as a person. It never stops. But with targeted coaching I can support you in reaching your goals even faster. Teach you how to expand your own personality, as an executive, a moderator or simply as a person.

Use the magnetism of your personality to be successful!
I look forward to working with you.

If you desire to make a difference in the world, you must be different from the world.

As Confucius said, the one who would be in constant happiness must frequently change!

I’ve always been fascinated by people and their experiences and development potential.

First of all, I myself gain something from every story I hear, and secondly, I am excited about how many possibilities every person, every employee and every team possesses, possibilities that have not yet been utilized.

I always believe that “there is still more to come”…. And I am convinced that humor and charisma are success factors that make my coaching work even more successful.

The path of my life

People always hold circumstances responsible for what they have become. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who move forward in this world are those who head out to look for the circumstances they need, and create them when they cannot find them.

My life to date has been full of variety and full of lessons, not to mention very colorful. Looking back, I can say that so far my intuition and a well-functioning sense of self-perception have been the rudders in my life. I am happy to have the freedom to consistently and courageously decide to take new paths.

And an accepting attitude – meaning I can say that the decision I have made in the respective moment is correct, and this allowed my experiences to become ever broader and ever more colorful.

As a high-performance athlete, my path in my childhood and youth took me from the gymnasiums of Bundesliga volleyball to Germany’s beaches and city beaches to play beach volleyball.

After concluding my business studies and working in consulting, I made the decision to change directions and enter unknown territory: TV. As a TV host, I started with classic program hosting, and, after many steps along the way, moving on to host a live sports show and the sports section of the Tagesthemen.

Relatively early on my manager brought me into event moderating; today I look back at 15 years of successful event moderating in front of up to 8,000 people, and I am a founding member of one of the most well-known moderator agencies in Germany (SOPHIE 19).

After meeting my husband during my work on TV, within a few weeks I decided on family and a life at home – and to consciously live life away from being “on” – with my children at home. My marriage to a professional soccer player opened new doors to me in the intimate circle of top sports, and it expanded my awareness of the lives of athletes and their families.

The experiences I gathered as a sports host on TV and in my life at the side of a top athlete, plus the efforts to create a stable and respectful relationship as parents from a relationship as a couple that ultimately failed led me to the next step in my life – coaching.

As the head organizer of my extensive patchwork family and parallel to my freelance moderator activities, I turned to new and interesting shores: Awareness and authenticity training with one of Germany’s most well-known teachers of wisdom and the successful conclusion of psychotherapy training were followed by training to become a certified Life Coach and Team Coach.

And in my present coaching activities with people, I find that the experiences I was able to gather have had a major influence on my authenticity and clarity, and the resulting presence and attitude provide an enormous benefit for many people.

My deep and observable conviction, which I not only believe, but also live by, is that changes and crises are there to get us moving and to encourage us to keep learning. On our own, but also with support from those who accompany us.

Irish Invasion: Abbey Capital Launches Managed Futures Fund

Irish Invasion Abbey Capital Launches Managed Futures FundInvestors looking for a managed futures mutual fund have one more option as of July 1: The Abbey Capital Futures Strategy Fund (ABYIX), which was launched that day by the Irish alternative investment firm, Abbey Capital Limited. The fund has primary and secondary objectives of capital appreciation and income generation, and it will use a multi-manager approach to ensure a diversified mix of managed futures strategies.

The fund will be comprised initially of eight sub-advisors, and the assets allocated to each strategy are determined by Abbey Capital. Abbey Capital bills itself as a “leading multi-manager in managed futures” and says its track record of successfully allocating between multi-managers dates back to 2000.

The fund’s portfolio managers are Tony Gannon, CEO and CIO of Abbey Capital, and Mick Swift, Deputy CEO & Research Director of Abbey Capital. Gannon and Swift will focus their efforts on finding, allocating to and monitoring the fund’s underlying managers.

Eight Sub-Advisors

Sub-advisors and the strategies they bring to the fund are listed below:

  • Altis Partners Limited: The Altis Emerald Futures Program
  • Cantab Capital Partners : The Cantab Core Macro Program
  • Eclipse Capital Management: The Eclipse Emerald Futures Program
  • Graham Capital Management: The Graham Tactical Trend Program
  • Harmonic Capital Partners: The Harmonic Emerald Futures Program
  • P/E Global, LLC: The P/E Emerald Futures Program
  • Revolution Capital Management: The Revolution Emerald Futures Program
  • Trigon Investment Advisors: The Trigon Emerald Futures Program

Like other managed futures funds, the Abbey Capital Futures Strategy Fund is designed to exhibit low correlation to traditional asset classes such as stocks and bonds.

The fund’s prospectus lists commodities, financial indices, currencies, and equities indices as the underlying asset classes of its investments; with options, futures, forwards, spot contracts, and swaps as the instruments it uses to invest. Fundamental, technical, and strategies combining fundamental and technical elements may be employed by the fund’s diverse group of sub-advisors, and Abbey Capital can shift allocations between the sub-advisors to capitalize on opportunities.

No Performance Fees

Unlike many of the existing managed futures mutual funds, the Abbey Capital fund will not have any performance fees or swap fees from the exposure to the underlying managers of the fund. This is a significant difference from a cost perspective, and gives the Abbey Capital fund a distinct advantage from some other multi-manager funds in the market. The management fee for all three share classes (I, A and C) is 1.97%, and the expense ratios, after fee waivers and expense reimbursements, are 1.99%, 2.24% and 2.99% for class I, A and C, respectively. The minimum investment for Class I is $1 million, while class A and C shares can be accessed for $2,500.

According to Morningstar, funds in the managed futures category have returned an average of -1.11%, year-to-date, through July 15, 2014. This year’s top performing managed futures funds in that category have been the LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund (LFMIX), at +10.31%; and the PIMCO TRENDS Managed Futures Strategy Fund (PQTPX), at +8.37%, through July 15, 2014.

For more information on the Abbey Capital Futures Strategy Fund can be found on the Abbey Capital website.

Note: This article was updated on 7/16/14 to make a correction in the funds that were listed as the best performing managed futures funds year-to-date.

I can make Shekau, others surrender, ex-Boko Haram commander boasts

Rawana Goni
Rawana Goni

A 32 year-old former Boko Haram Commander, Rawana Goni, has appealed to the Nigerian military authorities to allow him make a phone call to the elusive leader, Abubakar Shekau and at least 137 other terrorists to make them surrender.

Mr Goni, who is undergoing rehabilitation at a military detention camp in Maiduguri, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria.

The former Boko Haram commander is an indigene of Bama in Borno state. He surrendered to the military in Cameroon after escaping from Sambisa Forest eight months ago.

He claimed to have held several positions in ten different cells of Boko Haram in Sambisa.

He said the last position he held was as the Chief officer of Dispute Resolution for the group.

He explained that many militants came to him to settle problems ranging from family matters. He also reconciled Boko Haram factions.

“I rescued people sentenced to death and minimised punishment of those who committed crimes. I am one of the most influential persons in the group and they always listened and abided by what I said.

“I  joined Boko Haram because of the condition I found myself in the last five years. When the insurgents invaded Bama town, I ran with my family to Cameroon thinking I was in a safe destination. But on reaching Cameroon, I was shocked to realise that I brought myself into another Boko Haram camp. By that time, I knew I would not survive without joining the group.

“Days after my induction, we opened a permanent camp at the Cameroon border and named the forest “Aluska”. It was in that camp that I learnt all types of trainings including handling weapons.

“After the training,  we embarked on our first mission.We invaded a military formation in Cameroon, dislodged the soldiers and took many weapons from their armoury. We couldn’t take any vehicle because the area was surrounded by river.

“We took the weapons we recovered to our leader Abubakar Shekau and briefed him on our success. He was happy that five of us could dislodge a military formation. After congratulating us, he appointed me to lead the group and returned our weapons to us.

“Few days later, I recruited many fighters, because as a commander, you are expected to have no fewer than 250 fighting troops.

“With the new fighting force, we invaded Waza village, Damaga and Banki. We also invaded Bama which is my hometown.

“I was touched to see my people being tortured and killed, while many women and children were living in excruciating hardship. So I decided to pass a message to my fellow insurgents from Bama and we formed a group comprising about 137 persons to help our people in prison to escape.

“I was able to rescue about 300 hostages at the prison facility in Bama. I usually lied to the guards at the prison that I was going to kill the inmates. But I would take them to a safe place in Konduga and ask them to run to a safer destination.

“Many of the prisoners were exposed to hard labour while some were used as guinea-pigs at shooting range by new arms handlers among Boko Haram,” he said.

On Abubakar Shekau’s health status, Mr Goni told NAN that the insurgents’ leader was healthy as against a report that he was ill.

“Nothing happened to him. He broke his leg five years ago while riding on a horse. But he had since recovered. Anyone saying Shekau is sick is only deceiving himself. We used to communicate through radiophone but not any more,”he said.

Mr Goni, who believed that the war was coming to an end, urged the military to let him tell Shekau and other insurgents that he is still alive.

“My 137 boys are on standby to hear I am still alive and I can assure you they will run out of Sambisa Forest and surrender to the military. I once told them to surrender and they said we shall all get killed.But I told them that I will surrender and they said if nothing happened to me, they will all come out,” he said.

Mr Goni commended the military for the special treatment given to inmates who surrendered.

“They received us with joy and interact with us at all time. They feed us well and always want to know our problems. If other Boko Haram members knew how we are being treated, they will never want to remain where they are,” he said.

LCD Soundsystem land Brooklyn Steel residencyLcd Soundsystem Brooklyn Steel Residency Poster

LCD Soundsystem land Brooklyn Steel residency

Grammy nominated LCD Soundsystem announced today that they will take up residency in a new Brooklyn nightclub called Brooklyn Steel. Frontman James Murphy and his profusion of supporting performers will take the stage once per night from April 6-11 for the opening nights of the new club. LCD Soundsystem reunited in 2015 after nearly half a decade hiatus, signed with Columbia Records, and ripped into the festival scene in 2016 with remarkable headlining performances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, and Bonnaroo.

The group’s momentum shows little signs of slowing as well – Murphy previously indicated a new album is in the works, and even cancelled international tour dates last fall. As for 2017, they are slated to headline Shaky Knees, Ottawa Bluesfest, and Pitchfork festivals and are anticipated to bring the thunder seen in last year’s festival rounds. This residency is an expected fallout from such a striking return, and rarely is a comeback so swift and ubiquitous. For those looking for an intimate experience with Murphy and gang, this Brooklyn Steel residency is a great way to break through the noise typical to large music festivals and see LCD Soundsystem up close and personal.

Buy tickets for this unique show here.

General Hospital Spoilers! - Daytime Confidential

General Hospital Spoilers!

Publish date:

Here’s the Scoop! 02.17.08

Ethan and the Spencers… Is it Tracy who suggests Ethan get a job on the Haunted Star? I mentioned Tracy bailing Ethan out and there are RUMORS that Luke sets Ethan up with a place to stay, the Quartermaine Mansion. What happens IF Luke and Ethan need to be bailed out again? Will Tracy leave them both sitting there? What about Lulu and the RUMORS that she’ll be hooking up with Ethan? Those RUMORS are still out there as well as more Johnny and Maxie stuff headed our way. Will Maxie see Ethan plant one on Lulu? What about the almost sex but hot make-out session at the abandoned garage? When will Lulu find out? RUMOR has it that Spinelli MAY be the one who tells Lulu what happened.

Lulu and Maxie will be back at work this week. Translation: General Hospital needs to fit in the Campbell’s Go Red Campaign. When the model doesn’t show to strut her stuff in the red dress, Lulu suggests Maxie fills in.

So Nikolas is a stalker and Rebecca has him served with a restraining order. What if she goes as far as having Nikolas’s own brother arrest him for violating the order? That’s a SPOILER out there and this one goes along with the one that has Rebecca showing an interest in Lucky. Could it be some harmless flirting to piss Nikolas off?

Jason and Sonny reunited and it feels so…
right? Wrong? I’ll let you each decide on your own. The former partners are SUPPOSED to team up to search for the missing Anthony but it SEEMS like Jason will be doing the searching while Sonny is bedding his wife and playing referee between Kate and Claudia. Friday, Sonny sides with his wife over the love of his life. Kate is determined to find another of Jerry’s DVDs.

Will Skate fans be getting the Liason treatment? RUMORS say Sonny tells Kate he can’t go back to her because his life is too dangerous. Kate may have appreciated that conversation two hospital stays ago.

Are Sam and Lucky getting a better break-up? Considering we’re still within the same day (hell I’ll give them a slight break and say 48 hours) as the last hot tub scene for the road and that pathetic break-up scene for LuSam, will the fans get some better closure? SPOILERS say they’ll officially end their relationship.

More on Spinelli… RUMORS say he’ll find out about the Z Family involvement in Michael’s shooting. Who does he tell?

More info on Kristina Davis-Corinthos getting SORAS’d. It looks like this is happening in conjunction with Michael waking up from his coma. Is this the Sweeps storyline? Possibly. RUMOR has it, Kristina will be around 15 and as I mentioned, quite the troublemaker. There is a “script” floating around (could be an audition piece) of Jason “saving” Kristina when he finds her in a bar. Will Kristina try to flirt with her dad’s former BFF?

What about Dante? The RUMBLES have become WHISPERS. Was the casting of Sonny Corinthos’ son that difficult?

RANDOM and CRAZY RUMORS… Can you get your revenge if it kills you? CarJax hit the sheets. Claudia is her father’s hostage. Rebecca sees Emily. Ric and Rayner have a meet and greet. RUMORS of a new teenage girl hitting the canvas… is this the SORAS’d Kristina or another character?

I really do not like Ethan and apparently there are fans that do…
I don’t get it, so if you like Ethan Lovett, tell me why. According to SPOILERS, there is more to Ethan than meets the eye. There better be…cause there are FAR TOO MANY actors and actresses not being used! They use Luke Spencer as filler, his son is written like an idiot, his daughter is a selfish shrew, the PCPD are all considered to be idiots, and the Quartermaines have been reduced to filler as well… Sorry, when I read “Ethan is a hit” and “I love Ethan” it makes my blood boil.

In a ruling with implications for the array of comic-book conventions drafting off the notoriety of the original Comic-Con in San Diego, a federal judge has dealt a Salt Lake City version a resounding defeat.

Judge Anthony Battaglia in the U.S. District Court of Southern California issued an injunction against the Utah convention and also ordered defendants Bryan Brandenburg and Daniel Farr to pay $4 million in legal fees. The ruling (read it HERE) follows a jury verdict in December 2017 that the Salt Lake Comic Con overstepped the trademark line, though it awarded only $20,000 in damages and did not buy two of the complaint’s three main arguments.

Comic-Con organizers nevertheless wanted to recoup their legal expenses and seek a permanent injunction preventing Salt Lake from continuing to operate under the “Comic Con” banner. Battaglia backed the plaintiffs on both points, getting in some sharp digs at Farr’s production company, Dan Farr Productions, in his opinion.

“At every opportunity, DFP has repeated, re-argued, and recycled arguments already briefed by both parties and analyzed and ruled on by the court,” the judge wrote. “This type of wasteful litigation tactic forced SDCC to expend extra, unnecessary legal fees and drove this court to squander already limited judicial resources.”

The defendants repeatedly and “astonishingly” cited the Oxford Dictionary definition of “con” in mounting their defense, the judge noted. “Ultimately, resembling a broken record, DFP has repetitively restated and rehashed several contentions that they were unable to advance successfully prior to trial,” he wrote. “This type of cyclical motion practice is objectively unreasonable and has justified attorneys’ fees.”

The case began in 2014 when San Diego Comic-Con filed a lawsuit for trademark infringement over Farr and Brandenburg’s promotion of Salt Lake Comic Con, which started in 2013. The San Diego organization noted its non-profit status since being formed in 1975 and its history of hosting comic-book conventions since 1970.

Numerous film-and-TV-fueled events have grown dramatically in recent years under the “Comic Con” label, leaving major questions for their strategies in the wake of the ruling. One such event is New York Comic Con, whose 2018 edition is slated for early October.

Your morning roundup for Nov. 23, the day we learned Peruvian tap water affects your sexuality. Photo H/T Todd B, via @jbacott. Got any stories or photos for us? Tip your editors.

What we watched: The Austin Rivers show (20 points, 4 boards, 3 assists), and the frightening Doc Rivers death stare that came with every ill-advised shot he took (and made) in Duke's 82-75 win over Michigan last night. On a non-Duke note, though, watch out for Michigan freshman Trey Burke. He kept Michigan in the game at times last night, and quietly put up 17 points and 9 assists. Fun fact of the day: He's best friends with Ohio State's Jared Sullinger.

Might be time to cut the interviews, then, Mo: "Mariano Rivera, while he waits to find out if he needs a surgical procedure done on his vocal chords, speculated on Tuesday that 2012 could be the final year of his career. ‘I don't know what will happen,' said the Yankees closer, who turns 42 Tuesday and has one year and $15 million remaining on his contract. ‘I have one year left. I might call it over. I will know more in spring training.' Bothered for a month by a condition that has turned his voice into a raspy whisper, Rivera has been to one doctor and Monday will get a second opinion. ‘Every time I talk it gets worse and worse,' Rivera said yesterday at his New Rochelle restaurant, 42 Clubhouse Grill, where his foundation paired with HOPE Community Services to feed 42 children and their families Thanksgiving turkey meals. [NY Post]

BYU and Big East break it off after a few dates: "Brigham Young won't be part of the Big East's westward expansion. Negotiations between the rebuilding conference and BYU have broken off, a person familiar with the talks told The Associated Press. The person spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the conference and school have not been making their talks public. ‘BYU to the Big East is dead. It's not going to happen,' the person said. BYU athletic department spokesman Brett Pyne said in an email that school officials declined a request for comment. The Big East was trying to add BYU as part of its plan to become a 12-team football league. The deal-breaker was television rights. The person says BYU wanted to retain the rights to its home football games and the league could not agree to that." [AP]

Your Dog Chasing Its Own Tail Interlude:

Elway loses the faith (in Kyle Orton): "Kyle Orton's bumpy ride with the Broncos ended Tuesday when the team waived the veteran quarterback 10 games into his third season. Orton, who didn't comment on his departure when contacted, had discussions with Broncos coach John Fox over several weeks before Orton and the team decided it was best for him to be placed on waivers with Tim Tebow having taken over as the starting QB for the rest of the season. ‘He's been an absolute pro and even this year with the trying times going on, he's handled it like a pro,' John Elway, the Broncos' executive vice president of football operations, said in a statement. ‘We just thought it was the best for the Broncos at this time, as well as giving Kyle an opportunity to catch on with another team and showcase his talents there.'" [Denver Post]

Your Jerry Jones Radio Overreaction: "I know how tough these wins are. As you well know, I should know how tough they are. In the NFC, the last 10 representatives of the NFC have been different teams. There hadn't been the same team twice in 10 times. That says all you need to know. And of course, we haven't been one of them, and that really says all you need to know. We had our shots at it. I thought three years ago when we won 13 games, we were knocking on the door. So just like when you get a lead, when you get your opportunity, you better hit that thing and hit it hard. And that's why we have to look at the opportunity we've got out here Thanksgiving Day, and we've got to make sure that we look at it like we're playing in a Super Bowl because these windows of opportunity for these teams to get a chance to compete in the playoffs and get to a Super Bowl, in the league and the system we're in, are precious."
