Celebrating 14 Years Major Player Music School is a Central Queensland business celebrating our fourteenth year in 2014. Major Player commenced after accepting an invitation from Green Brothers in 2001 to continue the music education business it had run for some 30 years. Our principal, Bernadette Gorman is a past graduating student of the Queensland Conservatorium and a past student of the renowned Schnabel protégé Dr Nancy Weir. ‘Miss Berna’ co-owned the award winning Northside Music School at the Grange in Brisbane for 13 years before tertiary music teaching in Australia and overseas. She has held positions as a National Trainer and Examiner and as adjudicator at Eisteddfod and State Competitions. She has authored music programs over the past 20 years. Our students are encouraged to learn for their enjoyment and for a life-long love of music. Awards and prizes may come as a natural extension of their enjoyment and commitment but it is not our primary focus. At Major Player we believe that the student’s progression is reliant upon the effective triangle of support involving teacher leadership, parental support and the dedicated effort of the student. We need all three in unison to achieve the ideal outcome. We are passionate believers in the benefits that music education delivers. We have seen the changes in our students as they move through the programs and take great pride in their results and personal growth. Science continues to propose the influences of music education on brain development and personal bearing and we feel that it is in clear evidence to us each day. Music will have a profound influence on brain development when active participation in musical activities occurs. It is the engagement and focused attention in the art form that is the key.

Dear Grace , I have oral herpes HSV1. i get these severe dizzy spells every now and then.... they usually stay about 2 to 3 wks each time.... dizziness with nausea and vomiting..its frustrating. My question is...could herpes be doing that ? if so..how to prevent the dizziness.. i heard that herpes lives in the nerves or something... please read go the link and read this passage quickly and tell me what you think.. it states that herpes may be the cause of vestibular neuritis... please tell me what you think...i need your help. please do not continue to ask the same question over and over in multiple posts. it's against our forum policy ( read before posting post is located under the important announcements tab ). you need to seek out a full work up from your provider. many, many things can cause dizziness so getting a proper work up to determine the cause is in your best interest. it's not likely that your well established oral herpes infection is the cause of your dizziness.

I had a missed miscarriage I was having pelvic pain on a Saturday and I went to the ER which they didn't say much and didn't do an ultrasound to check if the baby was alright, bc it was the weekend and they didn't have people to do it. So they said they were going to schedule an appointment so that I could go get an ultrasound Monday and they were gonna call.. waited and they never did , so I called and made the appointment my self and they did a transvaginal ultrasound baby didn't have a heart beat and it stooped growing at 6weeks and 3 days.. I was devastated they told me to go home and wait for a natural miscarriage I couldn't wait so I did the appointment for a d&c that I had February 20th and 3 days after it milk started coming out of my breast.I kno it might sound crazy but My fiancée helps me by sucking the milk bc its too painful.. is it healthy for him to drink it? I feel so much better after he does. We havent had inter curse since the d&c that has being a week the dr told us to wait 2 weeks . When would the best time to ttc again would be? My obgyn told me 3 months. wear a sports bra at all times until the milk dries up and goes away wear it even in the shower or bath and dont let the hot water hit ur boobs intercourse and hot water will stimulate the producing of the milk u need to try to stay away from sex and hot water and def dont lt ur husband suck the milk out bc ur boobs will just keep producing the milk its painful for awhile bc the boobs fill with milk and get huge but its worth it in the end leave them alone for awhile and eventually the milk will dry up u can also get a shot from ur dr to dry up the milk I've tried the sports bra and it didn't help. My dr told me to wear sports bras and use bags of ice for it. Which I have but it hast help any.but maybe bc my fiance is sucking the milk and producing more by it. Its so painful when he's gone to work all night. I wake up every 20 mins bc they're sore and leaking a lot. My dr didn't recomend me the s ** my doctor didn't recomend me the shot. But I really get fustrated bc everytime I relax I start leaking and today my sister in law came over she's pregnant.. and my breast leaked more than ever by being around her.. It just reminded me that the milk was producing for the baby and its so painful and an empty feeling came to me I had to walk away. ) : Copyright 1994-2016 MedHelp International. All rights reserved.

Golly, Mr. Peabody April 5, 2006 5:43 PM Subscribe "Primitive animation is part of the charm of TV's boldest, most politically incorrect satirical series. Its simple style also makes possible the show's unmatched topicality." For its "notoriously rude, undeniably fearless lampoon of all that is self-important and hypocritical in American life, regardless of race, creed, color or celebrity status," South Park was announced today as a recipient of the George Foster Peabody Award, arguably the most prestigious award in television news broadcasting.

August Sander's Recipient of Welfare Assistance exemplifies his mature style at its finest: simply composed, unaffected, and direct. It is part of a monumental series that consumed him for nearly a quarter of a century: using the "universal language" of photography to record members of all professions and social classes, Sander attempted to "arrive at a physiognomic definition of the German people."1 Sander became fascinated with photography when, as an adolescent apprenticing in an iron mine in the small, west German village of Herdorf, he was called upon by the foreman to assist an itinerant photographer. With financial assistance from an uncle, he purchased his first camera, and over the next few years he worked in several photography studios. In order to produce the "artistic" portraits his clients favored, he mastered the gum bichromate and other painterly processes in vogue at the time, though he preferred more direct, naturalistic studies. In 1910 Sander opened his own studio in the Cologne suburb of Lindenthal, where he specialized in "simple, natural portraits that show the subjects in an environment corresponding to their individuality."2 To attract business, Sander bicycled every weekend to Westerwald and photographed the peasants there. These Westerwald farm portraits later became the foundation for his large documentary project. In the early 1920s, Sander met artists such as Franz Wilhelm Seiwert, Otto Dix, Anton Räderscheidt, and Wassily Kandinsky. Their stimulating discussions led Sander to realize the importance of his project, which he renamed "Man of the Twentieth Century." He began to make portraits expressly for the series3 and to sift through his earlier negatives, which he recognized for the first time as a treasure trove of pictures tracing the psychological makeup of the individual and society. He devised a hierarchical order, with the peasant as the foundation of society, high-level professionals and the upper classes at the top, and the homeless and infirm at the bottom. To symbolize the universal scope of his project, he identified his subjects by occupation or position, not by name. In 1929, Sander published Face of Our Time, a selection of works from his series. The critically acclaimed book was hailed as "a case of the camera looking in the right direction among people," providing "a photographic editing of society, a clinical process; even enough of a cultural necessity to make one wonder why other so-called advanced countries of the world have not also been examined and recorded."4 The clarity of his images allied Sander with the new objectivity advocated by other contemporary artists, including Albert Renger-Patzsch, whose The World is Beautiful had been published the year before. Sander projected that his "Man of the Twentieth Century" series would encompass up to 600 photographs. However, his view of physiognomy was at odds with the Nazi ideal, and in 1934 the Nazis destroyed the printing blocks of Face of Our Time and seized all available copies. Sander's archives were repeatedly searched, and many negatives were either confiscated or later destroyed in a fire set by looters. Although forced to abandon his project at this time, Sander was able to resume work after the war; he continued to photograph subjects and print from old negatives until he succumbed to a stroke at the age of 88. (Text by Julia Thompson, published in the National Gallery of Art exhibition catalogue, Art for the Nation, 2000) 1.

As late as 1921 Sander used the gum bichromate process; after 1922 he used gelatin silver papers. Because they were coated with a layer of white pigment mixed with gelatin (the "Baryta layer"), these papers produced prints with a smooth, reflective surface and brilliant highlights. 4.

* Economy: U.S. job growth slumped in April for a second straight month, according to a report released Friday. The decline suggested an economy that is growing steadily but slowly, which could tighten the presidential race. * Lemonade Day: Youth throughout the New Orleans area will be operating lemonade stands Saturday as part of a nationwide initiative called Lemonade Day. The program aims to teach children as young as 4 years old about business and entrepreneurship. * Coming Sunday: Be sure to pick up a copy of The Times-Picayune's Sunday Money section. One of our Sunday stories previews the big CTIA Wireless Show that rolls into New Orleans next week. It'll be the biggest group New Orleans has hosted since 2005. Have a great weekend.

Mitch Landrieu will win a second term as New Orleans mayor by an overwhelming margin, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune and WVUE Fox 8 News project based on updated election day results. Landrieu will receive about 63 percent of the vote, with challenger Michael Bagneris coming in second with 34 percent and Danatus King a distant third, with only 3 percent, the news organizations project. The incumbent will ride a wave of broad support from residents across the city, according to unofficial precinct results. Landrieu's popularity has remained high during his tenure, and political observers said it was clear in recent weeks that Bagneris was unlikely to catch up to Landrieu in campaign finances and in the polls. "Mayor Landrieu over the past four years did not do anything wrong. It was an easy choice for voters," said political analysis and pollster John Scurich. It's only the third time a mayoral race won't end in a runoff since the present election system of open, non-affiliated primaries was introduced in 1975. Previously, members of political parties voted for separate candidates who then faced off in a general election.

How to Protect Your Laptop A laptop’s portability makes it convenient--and an easy target for thieves. Losing your laptop can be devastating, especially if you keep important documents and files on its hard drive, without a backup. Here are five ways to protect your laptop from being stolen (or from remaining stolen), as well as to safeguard the data you store on it. 1. Use a Physical Lock Physically locking your laptop to an immovable object isn't exactly the coolest thing you can do, but it works. Just about every laptop on the market is equipped with a small lock slot that works with laptop locks such as the Kensington ClickSafe Keyed Laptop Lock ($45) or the Targus Ultra Max Laptop Cable Lock ($50). These laptop locks work just as bicycle chain locks do: You find a large, immovable object, such as your desk, and wrap the metal cable around it. Insert the lock into your laptop's lock slot, and your computer becomes virtually theft-proof, assuming that the thief cares about keeping it in working condition. This isn't a viable solution for many places--you're unlikely to find a lot of immovable furniture in a coffee shop, for instance--but it is useful if you need to leave your laptop alone for any amount of time (say, in a hotel room). 2. Install Tracking Software Well, your laptop has been stolen. Or perhaps you lost it, and some unscrupulous individual picked it up (in other words, they stole it). How can you retrieve it? Fire up the laptop-tracking software that you had the foresight to install on your machine. A new breed of laptop security software has arrived, and it's very effective. Using several different elements, including IP address locations, Wi-Fi positioning, and even the ability to turn on the laptop's webcam remotely, laptop-tracking software can help you get your laptop back. A small Mac application, the $15-a-year Hidden uses IP addresses to pinpoint your laptop's location. On top of that, Hidden can take photos remotely using your laptop's webcam, as well as capture screenshots of what the thief does on your computer, so you can identify the culprit by both face and name (if the person happens to log in to an email account or social network). LoJack costs $30 a year, and works on both Windows and Mac computers. In addition to tracking your stolen laptop, LoJack lets you freeze your computer remotely, create a custom message to display on its screen, and remotely erase files from your laptop--a huge plus for business users who might be carrying sensitive documents. GadgetTrak works with both Windows and Mac machines, and costs $20 a year. GadgetTrak uses Wi-Fi positioning to find the location of your laptop within about 10 to 20 feet, and lets you take remote photos of your laptop's captor. The software is also tamper-proof, so no one can modify it on the laptop unless you deactivate the software from the GadgetTrak website. Having laptop-tracking software installed on your portable doesn't guarantee its recovery, and you'll have to combine the software with some old-fashioned sleuthing (checking your local Craigslist ads for laptop fire sales, for example) in order to catch the thief. But it's definitely a start. 3. Back Up Your Data Losing a $1000 piece of machinery is pretty bad, but losing a $1000 piece of machinery with all of your important files on it is much, much worse. If your laptop ends up in the wrong hands, the last thing you want is for all of your data to land there too. For this reason, you should probably invest in a physical external hard drive, such as the supertough IoSafe Solo Pro ($350 for 1TB), which is both waterproof and fireproof, or the versatile, hot-swappable LaCie 2big Quadra ($369 for 2TB). You don't have to back up your computer every 5 seconds, but it is a good idea to back up the machine whenever you can remember to do so. It's also wise to keep sensitive documents off portable machines and drives entirely, if at all possible. For backing up recent documents, I prefer using cloud-based backup services such as Dropbox or Mozy. Cloud-based backup services are much more convenient because you can access them from anywhere you have an Internet connection, and you don't have to plug your laptop into a physical hard drive. Dropbox gives you 2GB of free storage space, which isn't enough for an entire hard-drive backup, but is usually plenty of room for recent documents and files. Dropbox works by putting a folder on your system: All you have to do is save a file in that folder, and it automatically syncs with Dropbox's server. The benefit of this autosync process is that even if someone steals your computer right then, you'll still be able to access that file by signing in to Dropbox from another computer. Mozy is more of a traditional backup service. For $6 a month, Mozy gives you 50GB of space for backing up your entire hard drive (if you so choose). Mozy also offers multiple restore options, including Web-restore and DVD-restore, as well as through the Mozy software client. Restoring files from the Mozy cloud is a more involved process than simple syncing, though--it's backup software, not file-sharing software.

Last week leading up to last night’s 2011 MTV Video Music Awards the network teased us with two quick glimpses (HERE and HERE) from the first full length clip from the much-anticipated film adaptaion of The Hunger Games. Last night, MTV aired the clip in full during the VMAs … clocking in at 30+ seconds! In case you missed seeing it last night or just want another look, check out the first footage from The Hunger Games below. Here is the clip via You Tube for you international readers: This clip runs a bit longer than 30 seconds if you include the intro, the promo animations and the film’s logo but there is a solid 30 seconds of actual film footage. It’s a GREAT tease, I think, for the film to come. It seems like we’ll be waiting a LIFETIME for The Hunger Games to hit theaters next year … but, oh man, does it look worth the wait. Woot! So … what do y’all think? [Source, Source] 0

Ahoy! I love the beachy look of nautical ropes used in the home. Unlike the standard boat, fish, and lighthouse motifs, rope details a pay homage to the high seas with a less kitschy tone. They can be subtly used on glasses and doormats or steal the show on standouts like this impressive Dock Glow Chandelier ($798). The detail on this chandelier is incredible — it literally looks like it was made purely from ropes. If you like the natural fiber look, you might also like these burlap Etsy finds. To add this look to your home, check out the accents I've roped in below.

Dr. Applequist and his group have gained a theoretical understanding of certain optical properties that are useful in studying structures of biological molecules. The diagram of the chiral molecule CHFClBr illustrates the theory as it applies to the phenomena of optical rotation and circular dichroism. The arrows show the dipole moments induced in each atom by the electric field E of the circularly polarized light wave. These induced moments are calculated from the atom polarizabilities and the interactions between neighboring induced moments. The model predicts that the molecule is more polarizable for left-circular light than right-circular light, which would lead to positive optical rotation and positive circular dichroism. Polypeptides and proteins show ultraviolet absorption and circular dichroic spectra that are sensitive to conformation. Some examples are shown below for the globular proteins myoglobin, porin, and lactate dehydrogenase. The structures found by X-ray crystallography are shown at the left. The solid curves are the ultraviolet circular dichroic spectra calculated by the model described above. The circles show the experimental spectra measured in solution. The comparison shows that the model is a reasonable description of the origin of the spectra in the band system centered at about 200 nm. These studies provide information on the sensitivity of circular dichroism to distortions of backbone structures and to interactions between regions of the folded molecule. They also provide new information on the contributions of various conformational components of the protein to the observed spectra.

Pepin, Liangzi sister lake relationship explored Red Wing has a sister city relationship with Quzhou, China. Now Chinese and Minnesota environmental officials are looking to create a sister lake relationship between Lake Pepin and Hubei Province's Liangzi Lake. A group of 16 officials from Chinese environmental protection agencies and municipal groups met with officials from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Department of Natural Resources at the St. James Hotel Tuesday afternoon to discuss the potential partnership. The group had spent the morning touring Lake Pepin. "We're interested in working together to improve water quality in both of our countries," Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Assistant Commissioner Rebecca Flood said. Liangzi Lake is located in the southern portion of the Hubei Province and drains into the province's main waterway, the Yangtze River. Hubei Province officials drew similarities between these characteristics and Lake Pepin's southern Minnesota location and its location on the Mississippi River. Zhou Xinxin, of the Hubei Province Department of Environmental Protection, added that the potential relationship with Minnesota is especially fitting because the Hubei Province is known in China as the province of 1,000 lakes. "It is a very happy coincidence," Xinxin said through a translator. In addition, some of the issues that Liangzi Lake and Lake Pepin face are similar, including pollution from agricultural runoff. "What we would like to do is share water quality data and try to do some comparisons," Flood said. "Ultimately, I hope we can see if there are some best practices." "We really need to learn from other cultures around the world," Xinxin echoed. "We hope that we can do more to preserve the water quality of our lake." Shi Xiaojuan, of the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection, added that China faces challenges due to economic development. "It becomes a challenge for us to find a balance between economic development and environmental protection," she said through a translator. "We can learn from other countries to solve this problem. ... We can collaborate to solve the problems you face, but also the problems we have." It's not clear what the sister lake relationship would look like or how long it would last. The Chinese group will travel to St. Paul today to meet with Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development officials to further discuss water quality and the potential relationship. Flood said the next steps are to determine possible funding sources and work out details of the relationship. "I'm excited about the potential this possesses from a cultural standpoint, to know and understand how each (country) deals with environmental issues," she said. "I'm hoping we can show some of the work we've done and we can learn some of their techniques." Both Xinxin and Xiaojuan said that they hope there will be frequent collaboration and exchange trips between Minnesota and Hubei Province in the future. Red Wing Mayor Dennis Egan, who also welcomed the group Tuesday afternoon, echoed those statements. "We would like to, with the Sister Cities Commission, look at opportunities to travel to your country," he said.

There are nude Miley Cyrus photos that were leaked on the net by Canadian blogger Zack Taylor but they are fake and even his site has finally admitted it. This is one hot topic and there are more juicy details on it below as well as pictures and a video too. It turns out that photos of Miley Cyrus nude are fake and GossipCop.com made a very valid point as to why the pics could not be the singer. In the photos in question it appears that a signature Miley mark is missing, her Just Breathe tattoo that sits right below her left boob. Now I couldn’t post the not real pics of Miley here but if you want to see what everyone is talking about you can do so here. According to the New York Daily News the chick in the picture is actually a 19 year old London woman who just happens to look like Cyrus. Although Zack Taylor’s website, which is the site that posted the picture claiming Miley was sexting with her on again off again beau Liam Hemsworth when it was taken, has printed a retraction it might not be enough for the former Disney star. There are reports that Cyrus intends to sue Taylor for alleging the naked pictures were of her and that lawyers have already been contacted. The teen sensation may have done a lot of risque and pushing the envelope stunts to shed her squeaky clean Disney image, however it appears that posing nude isn’t one of them, so far anyway. Yes the naked Miley Cyrus photos are fake so it seems she does in fact have some boundaries that she won’t cross. I kind of have a new found respect for Cyrus and I am not even a fan of hers. Ok this is a much talked about topic and I want to hear your thoughts on it so let me have it. Photos: www.wenn.comApega/Ian Wilson/Rui M. Leal

NO abnormalities were found during maintenance checks on a Super Puma the day before it crashed into the North Sea killing all 16 on board. Routine after-flight inspections were carried out on the AS332-L2 on March 31, 2009, the night before the crash. Engineers from Bond Offshore Helicopters checked external areas of the main gearbox for leaks, corrosion and the misalignment of pipes. Hours later the aircraft suffered a catastrophic gearbox failure while transporting 14 oil workers home from the BP Miller platform. It fell from the sky and crashed into the sea off the coast of Peterhead just before 2pm on April 1. A fatal accident inquiry is being held into the deaths of the two pilots and 14 oil workers who died in the disaster. Yesterday Bond deputy team leader Gordon Torquil Allen said he carried out the after-flight inspection on the aircraft the night before the crash. Mr Torquil Allen said the inspection would have covered external checks on the main gearbox. The Bond employee said a team of four engineers were checking over the aircraft that night and would have had to let him know if they had any concerns. He said he had signed off the aircraft technical log which was shown to the inquiry. Fiscal depute Geoff Main asked: “Was anything brought to your attention in relation to this?” He replied: “According to this paperwork, there were no abnormalities on the main gearbox.” Earlier the inquiry heard from Bond engineer Ian Underwood, who also worked in the department at that time. Mr Underwood was shown data downloaded from the hums flight safety monitoring system aircraft card 36 hours before the tragedy. All icons relating to the aircraft system were red rather than green. The engineer said he believed this highlighted a “card lock up” because the helicopter had been flying for more than 10 hours. He explained that the data showed alarms for everything listed. Mr Underwood said he had only ever dealt with a problem with particles on the epicyclic module of an aircraft once. He had been tasked with removing particles from the magnet on that occasion but he couldn’t remember when that had happened. Mr Underwood said he had learned about the existence of the magnets during helicopter training when he joined the company in June 1999. Mr Main asked: “Were you aware of any similar courses being carried out within Bond between 2004 and 2009?” He replied: “I can’t remember, because I can’t remember when we lost the training department.” Mr Underwood said staff had to undergo Human Factors Continuation Training ever two years as part of their licence requirements.

|Related Articles: Clubs, All| Last Night a DJ Saved My Life by Christina Li on Jul 07, 2009 A resident DJ at the legendary Qoöl Happy Hour in San Francisco, Silencefiction has proven to be a multi-faceted DJ. With a plethora of collaborations and his very own record label, there is no doubt that he has worked very hard for his accomplishments. With techno sounds giving audiences new perspectives, one would be missing out without giving his grooves a listen. Taking time to humbly give SF Station some insight, Silencefiction tells us about his career. SF Station (SFS): I see that you are originally from Canada, what brought you to California, and more specifically, San Francisco? Silencefiction (SFic): I moved around a lot when I was a kid but actually went to high school in the Bay Area. So as soon as I could drive, I began trekking into the city to see shows and buy books. After a few years of university in Vancouver, I moved to San Francisco somewhat permanently to go to the San Francisco Art Institute and be with my high school sweetheart, the performer/choreographer Monique Jenkinson. We've been living in the Mission ever since. San Francisco is a locus of experimentation. It's always an exciting and challenging place to be. SFS: What got you into DJing? Was it something you always wanted to do? SFic: Not at all. But one of the most consistent things in my life is that I have always bought and immersed myself in a lot of music. Like when I was in art school and spent more time in record stores than in my studio. DJing is largely about being a voracious consumer and cataloguer of music. And I am one. To a fault. SFS: Interesting and lovely DJ name. Where's it from? SFic: Thanks! I took it from the name of an old Dumb Type track. That's a project Ryoji Ikeda was involved in last decade. SFS: Did you always see yourself playing techno? SFic: Sort of. A long time ago, I was working at Aquarius Records. Drew from Matmos came in to sell some of his vinyl which included some Chain Reaction 12"'s. I was blown away by them. It was the first time I really "got" techno. I really fetishized the Minimalist visual art of the late sixties and early seventies and here was this label that was creating music that I thought was analogous to that movement. Pretty soon after that, I bought decks and was making regular orders from Hardwax in Berlin. My sound has certainly shifted around over the years, but techno has always been at its core. SFS: What is your music inspired by? SFic: Right now, I am supercharged by the Nick Cave (the sculptor, not the murder balladeer) exhibit that was just at the YBCA. Standing in front of his Soundsuits was like nothing else mattered in the world. I'm also really inspired by the San Francisco drag community. I don't know if that's very overt in my music, but they're my family and speak to everything I do. SFS: There's nothing quite like Qoöl in SF. How do you like being a resident DJ? SFic: I know! Qoöl is really singular. I love being a resident there! I've learned so much from Jondi and Spesh, Scott Carrelli and all of the guests who come through. And the crowd is always full of surprises. SFS: Any favorite artists, personally? SFic: My Bloody Valentine and Bauhaus. The Field and Neu! Ellen Allien and early Christian Death. I'm also loving the new Horrors record. Rock is dying this slow, undignified death but Primary Colours is pretty special. SFS: Tell us about your record label, Untitled & After. What do you look for in recruiting artists? SFic: Untitled & After is a place for artists to push at the seams of techno. Techno is often this cold, faceless machine; that's part of what I love about it! But what I'm exploring with U&A is electronic music with an emotional weight. Using beats to explore dolor or rapture. Something other than badass techno. If producers are game for that, I'm all ears. SFS: Anything upcoming releases/parties you want us to be on the outlook for? SFic: Next on Untitled & After is The Sea by Land Sound, which is my collaboration with LA artist Robert Crouch. It has a stunning remix by Jesse Somfay. I couldn't be more excited about it. Whether I'm mixing at Qoöl or not, I'm there almost every Wednesday. Come by and say hello!

And his laptop, collaborative duo with LA artist Robert Crouch: landsound.com. by Christina Li on Jul 07, 2009

GQ Magazine placed Glee stars Dianna, Lea and Cory on their cover next to the title: ‘What happens when the teachers aren’t around’ – what happens is that schoolgirls show off their panties and bras, seductively consume lollipops and spread their legs in the locker room… apparently. The GQ feature received a lot of criticism already – here’s the scoop from Us Weekly: GQ’s sexy Glee cover has gone too far, The Parents Television Council says. In a statement released Wednesday, the group slams the November issue, which features Cory Monteith, 28, Dianna Agron and Lea Michele, both 24 – all of whom play highschoolers on the hit Fox show – wearing hardly any clothing. “It is disturbing that GQ, which is explicitly written for adult men, is sexualizing the actresses who play high school-aged characters on Glee in this way. It borders on pedophilia,†the statement reads. By authorizing this kind of near-pornographic display, the creators of the program have established their intentions on the show’s direction,†the statement concludes. “And it isn’t good for families.†What does Lea Michele have to say about the racy shoot? “I don’t know how they got me to do half the stuff I did†for the GQ shoot, said Michele. “But I was in really good shape this summer, so…†Must share your thoughts! P.S.: I guess we can all recognize the photographer here: Terry Richardson. So many more shots on the second page!

If Napalm is allowed, why not just go for Dynamite? (just kidding - sheesh!). Typically, Battlebots are allowed to cut, hammer, flip, etc., but not to shoot out projectiles or release chemicals, etc. For a beginner 'bot, I would think along the lines of a low-profile flipper/dozer, or a vertical high speed saw. I've always thought a 'bot with a high-power EMP weapon might do well in competition, but if I fielded one, the FCC and my employer might both get a little irate.

We formed Spic and Span USA to give you the steps, even product suggestions e.g. the right hand held vacuum cleaners, vacuum for wood floors, etc., on how you can make your home, office, or any room sparkly clean. After all, "Happiness is... a freshly cleaned space". A lot of people tend to think that wooden floors always require a great deal of care; however, that simply is not the case. As long as you know exactly what to do, you can keep this kind of floor clean with something as simple as a vacuum cleaner, provided the floor itself has not been waxed beforehand. By following these simple tips, you can keep your wooden floor clean and well maintained for a long time to come. *First and foremost, it's important to know exactly what kind of vacuum to use for this type of flooring and which brand, e.g. shark navigator vs dyson, as shown on bestvacuumcleaner.reviews. Typically, you will want to invest in a lightweight canister vacuum that contains a floor brush with a long, oval shape. This will really help to get deep into all of the cracks and crevices that your floor has. *Aside from having the best vacuum for hardwood floors and carpet, you will also want to make sure that you vacuum your wooden flooring at least once per day. This will not only help to protect the finish of the floor itself, but also help maintain its overall appearance. *If you have wooden flooring in more than one area of your home, consider attaching an extension cord to your vacuum to help you with your task. This will save you a great deal of time in terms of having to stop, unplug the cord, and find somewhere else to plug it in to finish the job in another room. *Another great way to prevent your wooden flooring from getting scratched is to use a vacuum that contains rubber wheels. These will be much more gentle on the surface than more traditional plastic wheels, especially if and when the vacuum decides to slide sideways. No man is an island. You'll need the right tools to keep your home clean.

Mediate Launches: When HuffPo Meets Gawker I've been following their twitter feed for weeks now, probably because I know and really like Dan Abrams, having guested on his shows for years, I like the site'sconcept. Rachel Sklaar is Editor at Large. With separate pages for TV, print and online, the site aggregates plenty of content, like other media-focused portals, while also offering opinionated takes on scandal coverage, journalistic feuds, ethical questions and sundry embarrassments. Dan's last show on MSNBC had a "Beat the Press" segment. This sounds similar. He was always the most energized during that portion, almost gleeful at times. He reportedly has funded the new site himself and it's lean, with just 5 staffers. [More...] |< Honduran Crisis | Don't Look for Real News Tuesday >|

Waste Veggie Oil: Good For Your Hands? Image source: Flickr How many uses can we find for waste veggie oil and its byproducts? Let us count the ways...The New York Times reports that husband and wife duo Megan & Marshall Dostal want to bring it into your home, in the form of hand soap. Further Soap blends the glycerin leftover from the production of waste veggie oil along with bergamot, olive and other grass oils to make a soap that reuses a reused product.Marshall Dostal originally stumbled on the idea after years of making veggie oil for his own car. The waste veggie oil from local restaurants was mixed with potassium hydroxide and methanol and then glycerin was extracted from the mixture, leaving fuel for his car. When Marshall began to play around with making soap from the leftover glycerin, Megan got in on the act to help make the soap smell more like something people might use. After FDA-testing, the result is Further Soap, which the Dostalls took back to their veggie oil vending restaurants for the staff to use. Now the soap is available for $18.50 USD for an 8 oz bottle.

Gaming BulletsBy Christian April 23, 2001 - 2:46 PM - The 3DGamesZone has posted another 8 screenshots from the upcoming expansion pack to 'Voyager: Elite Force,' currently in development at Raven Software. - 'Elite Force' lead programmer James Monroe has been interviewed at EF Mod Central. Monroe talks about the 'Virtual Voyager' mode to be included in the expansion, the map editor, and the upcoming Doom3 game. - Chuck Osborn at the Daily Radar has posted a new preview of the upcoming DS9 game 'Dominion Wars.' "From our quick peek, we're expecting good things from Dominion Wars this May. We won't tell anyone it's a Star Trek game if you won't." - The recent 'Star Trek: Away Team' has been reviewed on Electric Games, who awarded the game 3.5 (out of 5) stars. "I have mixed feelings about this game. On one hand, it is actually quite entertaining. The missions are fun to play through and the familiar Star Trek races, positions, and tools are well done. However, brute force gets you through too much of the game, and that is something Star Trek isn't about. There is limited use for stealth, and diplomacy isn't an option. The levels are too illogically laid-out. I still had fun with the game, but it could use some restructuring in order to live up to the full potential of its license." - A slightly lower rating is awarded to the game at MPOG, where Kevin Jenkins gives 'Away Team' 3 out of 4 stars. Jenkins concludes that if you have $50 to spend and like Star Trek, the game might be worth the money, but says there are better games out there. - And finally, James Wink at Gone Gold awarded the game a rating of 70%, as many other reviewers saying it had great potential but just isn't good enough.

The Jan Fabre 'Pieta' sculpture is a contemporary reinterpretation of the Italian Renaissance master Michelangelo. Using the most famous version of the Pieta, a religious sculpture of the Virgin Mary holding her son Jesus's dead body, Belgium-based artist Jan Fabre transforms this classic iconography. The artist often uses themes of humanity and empathy in his work and these avant-garde pieces are no different. Replacing Christ with Fabre's own figure, while Mary's face becomes a skull, the piece is examining themes of death and grief. Surrounded by the main Pieta sculpture are versions of the human brain meant to symbolize universal religions, paganism and the idea that empathy comes from the brain not the heart. The Jan Fabre Pieta sculptures are on showing in Antwerp, Belgium until September 23, 2012.

Luiz featured in their Capital One Cup win over Swindon Town. "We don't have to prove anything. We just have to show we want to play. Everyone had an opportunity to play against Swindon and show our football. "Last year you could talk about seven players being on the bench and the next year is the same. Mourinho chooses his 11 players to play, his philosophy and tries to do the best job for Chelsea. That for me is normal. "Of course, it was good to beat Swindon. It's a cup competition, we are a big club and we want to win this as well. It was good for me and the team."

Selecting your Bridal Shoes may be one of the simpler things you have to do for your wedding, although shoe-aholics would be outraged at that statement! After all, what woman doesn’t love to shop for shoes, whether bridal shoes or otherwise? If you are a shoe fan, then your wedding is the PERFECT excuse to totally indulge yourself. Perhaps you’ve always had a secret fantasy to be a ballet dancer – why not choose a beautiful set of satin slippers to go with your lovely ball gown style wedding dress. Or, if your dress is a little more modern, and dare we say it … bold, you might prefer a super-sexy pair of stilettos as your bridal shoes. Just keep in mind that if your bridal gown is long enough, no one will see your shoes anyway (which may, after all, be the perfect excuse to buy the stilletos) Ensure that your bridal shoes compliment your bridal dress colours, and keep in mind that if you are not used to high heels in combination with a long dress, it’s a possibly dangerous partnership. Perhaps it might be wise to spend a little time walking around in your bridal shoes before the wedding, just to get comfortable with wearing them. After all, we don’t want any nasty tripping accidents on the big day! At True Bride, we understand just how important AND difficult this decision can be, so we’ve put together a variety of resources to help you find your perfect bridal shoes. Just go to the Footwear section of our Wedding Directory, enter your home postcode, choose the maximum distance from home you are prepared to travel to view their selection of Bridal shoes (from as close as your home suburb, through to all of the suppliers available in your home state) and then click the Search Now button. Once you get to your list of bridal shoe shops, you can browse through them, noting down contact details, or if you prefer, select individual ones to add to your very own Personalised Supplier List. You’ll need to become a member of True Bride (which is free) to use the Personalised Supplier List facility, but it gives you access to a great range of resources and tools (including all of our wedding planning tools). Search our Wedding Directory of suppliers for Bridal Shoes. True Bride is one of the most comprehensive Australian wedding directories with over 15,000 wedding suppliers listed nationally.

Separate names with a comma. Discussion in 'Half-Life' started by Nameerf, Mar 5, 2013. Ajaib is a better name. I'm with these guys! I'll change it if you really want, but Ajaib is a lot more user-friendly than hunter125x I keep on thinking of an Ottoman Ahab. I prefer my vision. I still haven't learned why people put random instances of the letter x in their names. Was it just a trend borne out of desperation when the desired name was already taken? Is it just me or is Krynn about 72 times cooler? Can my name be XxMORGSxX please? Hmm you have a point, could u give me the name 'AJ' then instead cos I really don't like using my full name on the Internet And guys I'm not a noob who just randomly sticks a bunch of numbers an letters in a username lol, that's hunter username was only one available XD So back on topic for this thread then, should we get back to HL 3 ideas discussing In Half Life 3 I want Valve to change Alyx's name to Ajaib. And I want 125x hunters. Weren't enough hunters in hl2. I hated hunters. They are so damned tedious to fight. Also I just finished playing through Half-Life 1 on PC yesterday, and I noticed that both Half Life games share the setup of having one large area that the game takes place in and around, Black Mesa in HL and City 17 in HL2. Where should Half Life 3 take place? Try it dude, it is worth a while. very exciting and challenging. I am hoping for HL to have better graphics so it would be cooler! Every game has better graphics, I want HL3 to be cooler than that, I want them to shun convention and have worse graphics. Now that would be cool. Then maybe you could finally have a game to make models for. Nothing wrong with that. I don't fault people for playing non-hard mode, but what bugs me is how game makers are afraid nowadays to make things brutally difficult on what is supposed to be the hardest game mode. When Half-Life 3 is released on a new engine I hope for some sort of expansions like Blue Shift and Opposing Force for HL1. Something where you play another character. I wouldn't even mind if it was a paid DLC as long as it was quality stuff (ofc it will be). Also I hope they will update the game regularly, fix bugs, listen to the community when it comes down to weapon changes in the multiplayer, organize mapping contests, etc. so we have years of fun with the new game. For the weapons: I hope that weapons like the magnum and the crossbow will stay in the game, also the gravity gun or at least replace it with some other weapon that has new game mechanics and can make advanced things combined with other weapons. Like nade cooking or fast balls in HL2DM. Movement: Hopefully they add some dvanced movement techniques into the game like strafe jumping or bunnyhop, something you have to learn to become good at the multiplayer. That's all I can think of right now. I just cant wait to see what the new engine is capable of, I mean think of how superior Source and Half Life 2, were to the original Half Life. If they can make Half Life 2 feel like that we are in for a treat. The Arctic / Borealis is pretty much a given. I'd like to see Xen, the Combine homeworld, and perhaps the G-Man's dimension (or whatever). Something to think about: it's been 6 years since Ep2, the same amount of time between HL 1 and 2. I would really like for it to be open-world, with more interaction with combine technology. The time travel idea is really cool, I had a similar idea. This happened in a dream, and has been my idea for HL3 ever since. Gordon and Alex make it to the borealis (their helicopter crashes) and find mossman, and have to stop the Combine from creating a superportal from the technology at the facility. They decide to blow up the ship and use the portal technology to bring themselves back to White Forest so they aren't caught in the explosion. The Combine intercept them as they swing around Xen, bringing them to the Overworld, where you find Dr. Breen in a host body. That's when I woke up. Someone buy me pizza if my dream turns out to be precognitive. My idea: Alyx sobs, and suddenly, she looks at Gordon, her face changing into the face of the G-Man. The game goes into cut-scene mode, and shows Gordon gasping in shock. Then, Gordon wakes up in his bedroom in the Level 3 Dormitories at Black Mesa. It was all a dream! Gordon goes to work, and tells everybody about his dream. He re-does the experiment, thinking that nothing would happen, when suddenly... THE G-MAN APPEARS!!! He pauses time, and says: "Gordon Freeman... WAKE UP!!!" Suddenly, the G-Man opens his mouth, and trillions of poisonous head-crabs fly out of it, jumping on Gordon! Gordon then wakes up, in the real, real world this time. He is in the White Forest Hospital, and his nurse is... THE G-MAN!!! The G-Man nurse starts spitting head-crabs at you, but then, as soon as Alyx comes into the room, the G-Man and his head-crab minions disappear. Alyx walks over to the terrified Gordon, and asks: "What's wrong?" When Gordon tries to answer, he is interrupted by Alyx pausing time. She spins around, her hair moving thanks to really good hair physics, and turns into... THE G-MAN!!! Then, two options appear on your screen: one says Kill Alyx (Good Ending), while the other says Don't Kill Her (Bad Ending). Also, if you don't choose between to two within 5 seconds, you die. You kill Alyx, who is actually G-Man from the future, and then Adrian Shephard appears, and thanks you for freeing him. Suddenly, Adrian spins around, and turns into... THE G-MAN!!! The G-Man begins to spit trillions of head-crabs at you, and you "die." The credits roll. Halfway through the credits, the screen goes static-y, and the scene changes to the "corpse" of Gordon. Then, Gordon opens his eyes, spins around, and becomes... THE G-MAN!!! The credits start rolling again. At the end of the credits, G(ordon)-(Free)Man spins around, and teleports back in time to the end of Half-Life, and gives the speech that Past-Freeman hears, when suddenly, Past-Freeman spins around and becomes... THE G-MAN!!! Then the other G-Man spins around and becomes... THE G-MAN!!! The scene changes, and you see all of the characters you encounter in the Half-Life games spin around and become... THE G-MAN!!! Don't Kill Her: The Alyx/G-Man thingy spits thousands of head-crabs at you. They are flying at terminal velocity towards you! You have no hope for survival... When suddenly, mid-flight, all of the head-crabs start spinning around, and turn into... THE G-MAN!!! I still like my old idea. No, mine is, and I don't even have one. Oh snap. Hell no, my Half-Life 3 story-line is amazing. Weapons: Human assault rifle (AR15, AK47, G36, etc.), more alien/combine/futuristic, like the combine guard gun or the OICW, more melee weapons, and some of the old weapons form the beta. Valve said they didn't want to include all of those weapons because it would seem unrealistic for the player to be able to carry 20+ weapons, since Dr. Kliener mastered quantum stuff, maybe he could make some sort of device that stores things, maybe even have it integrated into the HEV suit. But for some reason it's more realistic for Gordon to carry grenades, satchels, a rocket launcher, and nest of snarks, a gluon gun, and a tau cannon. I miss my gluon gun =( Bullsquids and Houndeyes. If they did bring in a bunch of new guns, I would think that it would make sense to have a weapon limit of twelve or so, just look at what happens to the HUD in Missing Information 1.6 when you type in impulse 101. Of course, you shouldn't be able to replace your crowbar or gravity gun, those are sacred. If they did bring in new weapons, it would be cool to see the tau cannon, gluon gun, and possibly more biological weapons (Hivehand, Sparky, Gill, Barney, et cetera). Matt, go home... You're drunk I'd like to see you do better. HAHA, see, you can't! You sure showed him. I want HL3 to start with Alyx hating on Gordon then running away until the end of the game where she get's bit by some super Nihilanth-ish headcrab then she'll be the boss battle. Right after the really awesome fight, Gordon will kill her God of War style with a very emotional dialogue from Alyx as the player is still on First-Person view then after the dialogue is done, BAM! Ruthlessly shooting Alyx in the head with a Colt Python or a .357 Magnum (or whatever flavor of a revolver they'll throw in there.) God, I hope you're joking. Good idea, but there are a few problems. I bolded a few things I don't like. LOL. Yeah it was meant to be a joke (I sort of read it in the voice of Agnes from Despicable Me 2 talking about how she new Gru was a dude.)

Regulatory medicine veterinarians have many jobs, however they have two major responsibilities; the control and/or elimination of diseases and protecting the public from diseases in animals that can do harm. In order to prevent the foreign and transmissible diseases into the U.S., regulatory medicine veterinarians are employed by state and federal agencies to stop, quarantine and inspect animals brought into the country from foreign countries. These vets supervise interstate shipments of animals, test for diseases, and manage campaigns to prevent and eliminate diseases such as tuberculosis and rabies, among other diseases that pose a threat to animal and human health. Regulatory Medicine Veterinarian Duties Veterinarians employed at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS), a state department of agriculture, or at the Department of Homeland Security are there to ensure that only healthy animals enter our food supply. They oversee that our meat, poultry and egg products are safe for human consumption via carefully monitored inspection programs, generally along the nation’s borders. They inspect the animals entering and leaving the U.S, to ensure diseases are not being brought in or taken out to foreign countries. The veterinarians in the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, or USDA-APHIS closely watch the development and testing of almost all new vaccines in animals for safety and effectiveness. These veterinarians are also the ones responsible for enforcing humane laws for the treatment of animals, plus protecting the health of our nation’s agriculture through disease surveillance, and preventing imported animal diseases from entering the country and endangering the nation’s food supply. Without them, Americans could be in serious trouble. Other branches of the USDA, such as the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES), employ veterinarians in research, research administration, and animal care within governmental agencies. The Need for Regulatory Medicine Veterinarians From recent studies concluded, it is shown that there has been a significant decrease in the number of veterinarians engaged in regulatory and food-animal medicine. At least 40% of new graduates enter companion-animal practice, while 14% enter large- or mixed-animal practice and only 3% enter regulatory medicine. Unfortunately, at the present time, only 17 of the 28 schools and colleges offer students a Master of Public Health degree. It’s important to note that if new recruitment and changes in veterinary medical curricula do not improve, then the situation will likely worsen over time. Regulatory Medicine Veterinarian Salary As of right now, the median average salary for regulatory medicine vets is about $95,000. However, with the lower amount of veterinarians entering the field, and with the rising amount of jobs needed, those who are already in the field can expect to see an increase in salary in due time. If more recruits do pursue regulatory medicine though, experts believe that salaries will continue to increase as science, technology and the need to regulate foreign animals also increases.

NEW SLC: The new Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 will head the drop-top range when it arrives in SA in April 2016. Image: Quickpic Cape Town - To coincide with its 20-year anniversary, the SLK compact roadster will be relaunched locally in April 2016 with a new name - the SLC - as well as significantly enhanced technology and design tweaks. The entry-level model is the SLC 200 (135kW/300Nm) followed by the SLC 300 with 180kW/370Nm. The top-of-the-range Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 (270kW/520Nm) is the performance orientated model, powered by a 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine with a modified version of the AMG sports suspension borrowed from the SLK 55. Furthermore, the SLC 43 comes with the option of AMG Ride Control sports suspension with adaptive damping adjustment (R17 900). New sporty design The SLC features a new front-end with its steeply raked radiator grille elongating the appearance of the arrow-shaped bonnet. The SLC also features the Stuttgart-based firm's 'dynamic select' which changes the vehicle characteristics at the touch of a button. The system adjusts engine, transmission, steering and suspension (the latter in conjunction with the Dynamic Handling package) at the driver's command. Dynamic select is a standard feature in the SLC 300 and in the SLC 200 with 9G-Tronic, transmission mode selection is available as an option. A feature that continues to be unique to the SLC, it was available on the SLK too, is the panoramic vario-roof with Magic Sky Control (R28 000) - this glass roof can be lightened or darkened. The electrohydraulic roof can be opened or closed at a speed of 40km/h. Mercedes has added another new feature; automatic boot separator (in conjunction with the optional vario-roof convenience feature or optional Keyless-Go): if the separator is in the upper position for increased boot capacity, it automatically moves down when the roof is opened. Expect standard equipment on the SLC such as active brake assist, attention assist, panoramic vario-roof, multi-function sports steering wheel in nappa leather and LED tail lamps. Optional on the SLC are cornering LED Intelligent headlamps (R20 000 option) which automatically adapts to all light and driving conditions. Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus (in conjunction with the LED Intelligent Light System), allows main beam to remain switched on without dazzling other road users. SLC 200 - R680 600 SLC 300 - R753 400 SLC 43 - R988 000 *The SLC will be launched locally in April.

I'd rather put up with De Aza's D than watch Young strike out every other time he doesn't pop the ball up to the infield.

The large datacenter, which typically contains one or more mainframes and is often constructed with windows to the inside. Glass houses may contain raised floors for underground wiring and are generally very well air conditioned. The Big Glass House Mainframes have typically resided in the "glass house" due to stringent air conditioning requirements. Although newer machines dissipate less heat than older models, many units in one room still require substantial cooling. (Image courtesy of IBM.) The Little Glass House Microprocessor-based computers are widely used as network servers. They are often housed in data cabinets with glass doors such as this one from AMCO Engineering.

Danny Macaskill’s latest film sees the Scot return to his Edinburgh roots and the bike shop where it all started – with the street trials star also proving he’s not a one trick pony with a trip into the Trossachs hills in Central Scotland with his mountain bike. “It’s rad to be out on my mountain bike,” says Macaskill in the film. “I’ve not been out for a wee while because I’ve been injured so it’s good to get out and spin the legs and have fun. “I love just going out and riding my mountain bike and it’s generally in group rides. On my trials bike I ride by myself most of the time so it’s nice to do something social.” The film, which celebrates Macaskill’s latest sponsorship deal with Lezyne, also sees the 26-year-old return to the workshop of MacDonalds Cycles to talk about his rise from a bike shop mechanic to YouTube superstar. Macaskill was working at MacDonalds Cycles when he shot to fame in Dave Sowerby’s five-and-a-half-minute Inspired film, which has now had more than 29 million YouTube hits – and the shop has become a mecca for Macaskill’s fans. “It’s amazing that folk turn up looking to have photographs taken outside the shop,” Macaskill told the Scotsman.” I’m glad I can repay Macdonald’s in some way for all the long lunches I used to take when I went cycling around the city. “The video back in 2009 was shot with a load of mates during those lunchbreaks, I never thought it would prove as popular as it has. Edinburgh played a big role in my progression as a rider and I’m grateful that I can give something back, however small.”

We are only a few weeks into the New Year and already the shape of the next 11 months is starting to form. To start, the U.S. Department of Energy sees two good years in front of us with increases in domestic tight oil production and falling demand in Europe offsetting what now looks like a million b/d increase in global demand in each of the next two years. Demand for oil in the U.S., which has been falling pretty steadily in recent years, is forecast to increase a bit in 2013. The Paris-based International Energy Agency, however, is not so sure about the next two years. The Agency recently started talking about coming “tightness” in the oil markets as economic growth in China gives indications of starting to revive, increasing its demand for oil. If you want a really pessimistic forecast, you might be impressed by the Goldman Sachs chief commodity strategist who told a conference in Frankfurt that he would not be surprised to see oil prices reach $150 a barrel this summer from the current $112. Needless to say oil at $150 a barrel would cause serious economic dislocations. Back in 2008 when oil prices got into the $140 range all sorts of bad things happened, many of which are still with us. Now everybody knows that a major reduction of oil exports could easily drive prices up by tens of dollars a barrel in short order. Last spring, when the rhetoric between the Iranians and Israelis reached a zenith, prices were driven up by threats to close the Straits of Hormuz. Although the current rhetoric is much lower, the Iranian nuclear confrontation is still with us. There are other, more likely, ways that oil exports could be curtailed. It is hard to believe that Iraq is not sinking into civil war. Bombs are going off nearly every day in Iraq and tensions between the Sunnis, Kurds, and the Shiite-controlled government in Baghdad are increasing with every passing week. Oil production is already slipping, several big western oil companies are pulling out of the oil fields under Baghdad’s control, the Kurds will no longer ship oil through Baghdad’s pipeline, and tanker shipments to Jordan have been halted. It is difficult to foresee Baghdad increasing its oil production by any significant amount in the next two years, but easy to see domestic chaos increasing to the point where production starts to slip or even stops. Another possibility for oil supply disruption could be the transition from a Chavez-dominated Venezuela to whatever follows. The US is importing roughly a million barrels of oil a day from Venezuela. While the post-Chavez transition, whenever it comes, may take place without problems, it could be a difficult one involving coups and counter coups which would curtail oil exports for years. In recent days the situation in Algeria and by implication Libya has come to the fore. So far the Algerian government has used oil revenues to keep discontent under control, but Libya is far from stable and accordingly the country’s oil production is 500,000 b/d lower than a few years ago. Given the instability there it could go even lower. There has been little change in the Sudanese and Syrian situation. The chances that either will resume normal exports in the coming year in the coming year range from low to non-existent. Finally we have the trend to more extreme weather to consider. So far most of the weather-related effects on oil production and distribution have been storms in the Gulf of Mexico; however last year we saw a major disruption to the oil distribution system in the New York region. As floods and droughts become more prevalent, these too could impact oil production and distribution around the world, especially as more oil and gas production moves offshore. If there are major export disruptions in the year ahead, prices obviously will go up – perhaps way up. If, however, the world manages to muddle through the next 11 months with the oil still flowing at roughly current rates, then the question of where oil prices go becomes more complicated. Conventional wisdom says European oil demand will go down this year and possibly next, U.S. oil demand will remain about the same, and demand from China and other developing and oil-exporting countries will go up by about a million barrels a day. We should all keep in mind that the Saudis are currently building three large oil refineries so that in 3 to 4 years their export of crude will be about 1.2 million b/d lower than it would have been otherwise. As we have been told incessantly in recent months, US oil production has been rising rapidly due to production from North Dakota and Texas tight (fracked) oil fields. Last year it grew by about 780,000 b/d and many are expecting such increases to continue for a while – hence the lack of concern about the global oil supply in the near future. Some geologists, however, noting the high cost of fracked oil wells and their short life, believe that this great upsurge in production will have to come to an end so that rates of production increases start dropping and eventually decline. While there are already a few signs, such as lower initial rates of production from fracked oil wells, most observers believe the balloon still has a year or two to go before it pops. The cost of producing oil from fracked wells is very high and in some cases close to current selling prices. If economic conditions should lead to significantly lower oil prices in the next year or two, it is likely that new supplies of very expensive oil would dry up quickly and the whole fracked oil boom would be over. As usual, there are too many variables, ranging from prices to insurrections to extreme weather, to make a reasonable forecast of what is going to happen.

With just a few changes in your life, you CAN live a better lifestyle, and have more money at the end of your month. It's not that hard, if you have someone to show you the way! This little guide is only eleven(11) pages and it is NOT full of recipes. However it does tell you what steps I took, and how I took them, to save money off my grocery bill and give myself a lot more free time away from the kitchen. I hope my guide will get your mind to creating even more ideas to free you from having to cook every single night! Coming home to food you just "heat and serve" is wonderful! Get out of the Kitchen was previously called Get Kitchen Freedom, we just gave it a facelift. There is a bonus at the end of this book on organizing your freezer and making an inventory of it. Enjoy!

Nothing, Nothing, Nothing. Ring out over me and watch as burns fade into raised regrets. The road spreads out like a canvas of soon to be created memories. The days all meld into night in the same slow way that we tore each other apart. Rotting from the inside out is oh-so common. All I want to do is destroy; myself and everyone around me. Be my victim. I don't have the energy for your games anymore. I want to take everything from you and pile it/them/me into a car and drive away leaving a path of bodies and twisted spines behind. I want to erase you all from my memory with liquor, lies and drugs – never tasted. I want to bury the blade into thick thigh flesh and leave it there to rust, indefinitely. When I want to start living again, I'll let you know. Until then bite this curb and taste concrete. Don't worry; I'll be back to stomp your ego into bloody. Have you ever imagined slicing me? Watching scalpel part baited flesh. Watching it split, just like I have every night for ten years. Blood oozes from every crevice. Please stop asking, please stop the stares. No, I can't remember last night and I'll never know your name.

Collation function is main point here. How you mentioned one will be only wrapper about strcmp and second one about strcoll.

Mike Hjellming started using FORTRAN on punch cards, then Pascal at a terminal, then got paid to be a C++/Java Developer on PC's, then still got paid as Development/System Manager. Has experience with XP, Scrum-but, and Kanban. Functioned as a Product Owner for two Scrum teams working on software for the web services I was responsible for. Tried not to be too meddlesome as the manager of some of the Scrum team members. Came up with a distinct "Screen" team concept to help shield Scrum team members from the distractions of a live mission-critical system that required support. Have had the great pleasure to work with a number of great individuals who have done great things. Would like to think I have made small contributions to the greatness. Oh, all the agile activity was within one of the largest financial services companies in the US. And people say enterprise software development sux; I say, it depends on who you worked with.

Why Shanghai is one of the most exciting cities in the world right now! I have been coming to Shanghai now for 4 years. For those who came in the 80’s and 90’s and saw a wholly different China this will no doubt seem very recent. My Shanghai experiences have always been rich and exciting, but it wasn’t until I relocated here that I came to know the city more intimately. There are many reasons why Shanghai might just be the coolest place in the world to be right now. I won’t bang on about the economy and such, because this is widely known…instead I will share my thoughts on why Shanghai has captured my heart and why it might just capture yours as well. 1) Architecture – from modern skyscrapers to charming lane houses Shanghai is big – 22 million people in one city, same as the entire population of Australia. Yet because the space of the city is so big, the Chinese were able to build out, not always up. This means that while there are some super duper skyscrapers, there are more low rise buildings, fascinating architecture and lovely little lanes with 100+ year old houses. The outcome of this varied landscape is a city that is at once full of cutting edge, modern engineering masterpieces and charming little areas full of old world personality and a time gone by. It’s the seamless way these blend in modern day Shanghai that’s absolutely inspiring vs. other parts of Asia where the “old world” has been ruthlessly replaced for the sake of progress. 2) The markets – from lighting to pearls to silks Turns out if there is a category of products there is a market for it. As I am shopping for a variety of things I have discovered a market for house plants, a market just for pets, a market for lighting (where you can buy everything from tabletop lamps to iron street lamps) and even a market for pearls. The place I keep going again and again is the fabric market, I find myself here having everything from silk dresses to silk curtains made. My friend even had a Wonder Woman outfit made for a costume party. If you can dream it, they have it in Shanghai…at some market, some where. 3) Nightlife is hot! After having lived in NYC and Bangkok and visited a great many other cities with pulsing night life scenes, I wasn’t sure what to expect in Shanghai. But it’s all here – from cool cocktail lounges to seedy dive bars to reggae bars to slick night clubs to hard-core dance clubs to gay bars / clubs to late night girls-dancing-on-the-tables kind of places. From private parties requiring “passwords” to new opening parties it seems about every week for some new place. There’s no excuse not to go out in Shanghai – the problem is deciding where! 4) Vibrant and progressive culinary scene I hear this is really in the last 5 years, but you cannot cross the street without running into some cool new restaurant with a chef that’s trying new things. From Mr. & Mrs. Bund to Maison Pourcel to El Willy there’s an explosion of high quality European culinary destinations. And then there’s all manner of local favourites, like Lynn or Di Shui Dong. And this is barely scratching the surface. As an expat, I also have the feeling I am only seeing a small sliver of the culinary action as well. I plan to pick my new Chinese friends’ brains on the more local places, especially after a recent street-side and mind blowing jiaozi (that’s gyoza or fried dumpling) binge. 5) A truly blooming art culture There seems to be an irrepressible need for the Chinese to express themselves…and now that they are allowed to (as long as it is government friendly), it is as if the flood gates have opened. While Beijing is still the cultural center, Shanghai is evolving from a city of commerce to also be a city of culture. Whether it’s the Suzhou Creek Art District or Taikang Lu (admittedly less artistic and more commercial these days versus the past) or any of the galleries holding exhibitions all over town, there’s no doubt the Chinese contemporary art scene is booming. 6) Post Olympics and Expo The Beijing 2008 Olympics have come and gone as has the 2010 Expo in Shanghai. What does this mean? It means that the country has upgraded airports, transportation, road quality and public parks at a level of investment unmatched by any time in the past. I have been traveling to Shanghai for about 4 years and I am just flabbergasted by the transformation of the Bund. It’s exactly what it could have been many years ago, but just like it takes a house move for you to clean out your closet, it takes a big international event for a country to do its housecleaning and repairs. So now in Shanghai you can enjoy flowers planted on the side of the road, slightly reduced pollution and city parks and spaces that are at their aesthetic peak. 7) Access to a vast and varied country There are more than 160 cities in China with populations of over 1 million people. China is #2 in the ranking of the world’s most billionaires and #3 in the ranking of the world’s most millionaires. And in fact the number of billionaires rose from 64 to 115 in only 1 year! Yet under this back drop of progress and prosperity, there are still extremely rural parts of China. One of the world’s oldest civilizations is also the world’s most dichotomous in terms of economic disparity and development. What this means for the traveler is that Shanghai is the perfect perch from which to explore this 3.7 million square mile country of 33 very individual provinces. There are 40 UNESCO World Heritage sites in China. From ancient capitals like Beijing and Xi’an to old towns like Wuhan to Qufu to the beaches on Hainan Island, one could spend their whole life exploring this vast and varied country. Tell us, why do you love Shanghai?Pin It

Gaston and Josephine Illustrated by Feodor Rojankovsky (1891–1970) Gaston and Josephine chronicles the escapades of two French pigs who run away from their homeland and sail to America. The story mimics the life of illustrator Feodor Rojankovsky—a Russian émigré who fled Europe in 1937 to escape increasing political unrest and found a home in the growing children’s literature market in New York. Rojankovsky’s human-like animals bridge the old world fairy-tale style of European illustration and the more realistic perspective of later Little Golden Books.

More info about the name "Titania" Titania originates in Greek language and probably refers to the Titans, powerful gods in Greek mythology. Titania was a character in A Midsummer Night's dream, a play by William Shakespeare. She was the queen of fairies and Shakespeare originally took the name from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Titania is also the largest moon of Uranus and a popular name for ships.

Amongst all the cargo hauled back up north the other day were more than a few 22 ouncers from Maine micros like these two from Bar Harbor Brewing Company of that sea coast town about an hour south of the US-Canadian border. Bar Harbor is a bit of a hot bed of micro-brewing, being also the home of Maine Coast Brewing as well as the Atlantic Brewing Company whose Coal Porter and Blueberry Ale I have enjoyed in the past. Pretty good for a population of about 5,000 folks. But that is not including the 476,452 tourists and 345,958 seals. I split these bottles with my kin as we watched the Braves spank the Phillies Saturday night. I received a "hmmm...pretty good" on each. High praise. The Thunder Hole Ale is described as an english brown and I would say it is meant to be a southern english brown as opposed to the slightly tangy style of Newcastle Brown. It is a good moreish brown without the high hoppiness of many US brown ales. It is on the lighter side of browns but has a malty richness cut with layers of grain, pear and chocolate fruit and various sugars. Lighter than you would describe as dried fruit like in a Belgian brown. The hops provide structural support a bit green working with the pear, a bit twiggy and a marked astringency. All very medium which for a brown is usually a good thing. Well crafted rather than amazing as befits the style, this would make a great session ale. A long long finish. Advocates approve. I have not been able to identify the alcohol content. Their Cadillac Mountain Stout was on my list of beers to buy as it came first in a recent All About Beer review of stouts and porters. I am starting to think that Maine is one of he hotbeds of world stout making, given the consistent excellence I have found there. This beer pours a big dark beige rocky head. It is rich and creamy, even buttery, and maybe is more smokey than dry burnt roasty. It has some of that fruitiness that Maine Coast's dry stout provides in large measure. There is some mint to the hops but also a characteristic I can only call hardwood. Notes of treacle and cocoa, too. In a way, it is more like a more complex and less sweet caribbean stout like Royal Extra from Trinidad. Certainly one of the best stouts I have ever had. Up there with Freeminer. Here is what the advocates said. Again, no info on the alcohol content.

Photo Credit: Time Magazine Baseball has become such a cut-and-dry business, that owners are one in the same in their approach to building and marketing a team. Some franchises have more free-spending owners, and some have more hands-on owners, but they all follow the same basic approach to running a team. Back in the day that wasn't always the case, and one owner in particular who jumps to mind as being original in his approach was Charlie O. Finley of the Athletics. Finley made some memorable additions to the Kansas City Athletics stadium, here are just a few of them: —A device that came out of the ground named "Harvey" that was a rabbit holding a basket of balls for the umpire when a new ball was needed. —A compressed air device named "Little Blowhard" that blew dirt off of home plate so the umpire didn't need to dust it off. —A petting zoo with goats, sheep, monkeys, bats and birds among other things down the left-field line. —A flock of sheep wearing Athletics blankets, complete with shepherd, down the right-field line. —He attempted to move the right-field wall in to 296 feet, putting some bleachers in right field with a makeshift fence around them. The league shot that idea down, however. These are the sort of things that you may find at the minor league level these days, but returning some out-of-the-box thinking to the major league level would certainly be interesting.

There are times where you can find great marketing ideas from places outside the box and from your day to day life. One example is described in this blog entry. The article talks about how a company executive kept getting responses from friends like “anything” or “whatever” in response to questions asking what they wanted to drink. This inspired him to market drinks in cans with the brand names Anything and Whatever. The hook is, like Bernie Bott’s Any Flavor Beans in the Harry Potter series, each can contains one of six possible flavors, so that the purchaser never knows which of the six he or she will be getting. According to the piece, the product has been very successful This illustrates two points. One, being unconventional can yield exceptional results. People will react to something that is unique and unexpected, many times just because it is not like everything else. Secondly, new ideas can come from anywhere. While market research can yield information you can use, sometimes the best ideas come from everyday life.

Accurate Analysis of Multi-Gigabit Systems Using HSPICE Hany Elhak and Ted Mido, sponsored content [Tuesday 22 July 2014] Connecting an application processor to a DRAM chip through a 3200 Mbps LPDDR4 interface is not any easier than routing a 2600 MHz 4G LTE antenna. While RF front ends enjoy ceramic packages and careful routing in electromagnetic proof modules, digital signals flow through ball grid array packages and small dense printed circuit boards (PCB) making them more liable to high frequency effects. As data rates increase in the gigabit range and beyond, PCB traces can no longer be treated as simple conductors. The parasitic resistance, capacitance and inductance of the copper trace make it act as a transmission line producing all kinds of high frequency effects not commonly considered in digital design. For example, high frequency components of the signal suffer more attenuation due to skin effect than the lower frequency components causing signal deformation. The inductance and capacitance between parallel copper traces result in crosstalk and the high switching currents lead to ground bounces. Bit error rate (BER) increases as more ones become interpreted as zeros and vice versa. Hence, transmission line effects of PCB traces as well as the frequency response of packages, connecters and cables need to be thoroughly analyzed to ensure signal integrity. Accurate SPICE analysis at the PCB level can save time and cost by reducing numerous iterations of PCB prototyping and measurement. Figure 1: A typical system configuration for signal integrity analysis Figure 1 shows a memory interface, a typical example of multi-Gigabit inter-chip communication. The same concept applies to high speed serial IO such as USB 3.0 and HDMI as well as multi-Gigabit Ethernet devices. The communication channel consists of IO models for the chips, Scattering Parameters (S-parameters) models for the packages, connectors and cables, and lossy coupled transmission line models for the PCB traces. IO models are provided by the chip vendors. Simple IO buffers can be accurately represented by IBIS models. More complex IO circuitry with active pre-emphasis and equalization are usually available in the form of encrypted transistor-level HSPICE netlists, or as IBIS-AMI models derived from the transistor-level representation. As the golden reference for transistor-level simulation, HSPICE uses foundry-certified transistor models to deliver the most accurate behavior of IO circuits. Moreover, most chip vendors use HSPICE to validate their IBIS and IBIS-AMI models. Hence using HSPICE at the board-level gives the best correlation with the chip vendor's intent. When it comes to IBIS-AMI, HSPICE has the unique capability of simulating these models in true transient mode in addition to bit by bit and statistical eye diagram modes. Lossy coupled transmission lines for PCB traces can be extracted in different ways, the simplest of which is using HSPICE W-elements. The W-element reads in the PCB properties and the dimensions of the parallel traces, and then uses a built-in 2D solver to extract the transmission line response. The model accurately represents frequency-dependent loss and coupling, has no limit on the number of coupled lines and ensures the passivity and causality of the system. Most PCB layout tools can extract the trace geometries and automatically generate W-element models in the HSPICE netlist. Third party quasi-static 2.5D field solvers can also be used to generate broadband models of PCB traces. Depending on the field solver, these models can be inserted into the W-element in the form of RLGC tables. For critical layouts, full-wave solvers can be used to extract the frequency response of the PCB traces in the form of S-parameters which can also be used as input to the W-element. The S-parameter models for the packages, connectors and cables are provided by the component vendor, measured by a network analyzer or extracted using a 3D electromagnetic field solver. In either case, the S-parameter model gives a robust linear representation of the component taking into account its distributed nature and any arbitrary frequency dependent behavior. Examining S-parameters on a Smith Chart gives deep insight of such distributed systems beyond what can be obtained using lumped elements in a circuit schematic. There is one challenge though. S-parameters are frequency domain models originally invented for RF and microwave devices, while signal integrity analysis of digital multi-Gigabit systems is predominantly performed in the time domain. The HSPICE S-elements overcomes this challenge using state-of-the-art automatic rational function model generation. Furthermore, HSPICE deploys multi-delay enhanced rational function models to capture the complex high frequency behavior of long data cables with several meters in length (e.g. HDMI cables). HSPICE uses parallel computing technology available in modern processors to simulate large - over 500 ports - S-parameter models with superior speed and accuracy. In addition to the use of s-parameters in circuit simulations, HSPICE also supports multiport linear network analysis (.LIN) which allows S-parameter extraction from arbitrary circuit types. Figure 2: Working with S-parameters is more than running transient analysis The flexibility and robustness of s-parameter modeling are sometimes compromised by the lack of quality of some s-parameter models. Low-quality S-parameter models are likely to end up with poor simulation results. Quality issues include - among other causes - passivity violation, coarse frequency sampling and narrow frequency bandwidth. For example, the starting frequency of an S-parameter model can be too high to capture low-frequency transient behavior, or the end frequency can be too low to capture the high frequency components of digital transitions. HSPICE includes a standalone S-parameter utility (SPUTIL) which can manipulate S-parameters in different ways to ensure the quality of S-parameter modeling. Figure 2 shows how HSPICE combines S-parameter extraction using multi-port linear network analysis (.LIN), S-parameter simulation using transient analysis (.TRAN) and S-parameter quality assurance using the S-parameter utility (SPUTIL). Figure 3: Checking impedance matching using HSPICE S-parameter utility (SPUTIL) SPUTIL provides a number of convenient s-parameter manipulation techniques such as merging multiple data files, passivity checking or enforcement, re-sampling with flexible frequency point specifications, and file format conversion. For example, impedance matching is an important requirement of high speed channel design. The quickest way to test impedance matching is to observe S11 with different reference impedances. SPUTIL offers a convenient way to convert the reference impedance of a given s-parameter set using a simple script, as shown in Figure 3. Then observing the resulting S11 plot on a Smith chart and finding the smallest S11 value will give a good starting point for designing the channel termination impedance. This concludes our discussion of the different components and models used in signal integrity analysis. Now we move to the discussion of the different analysis techniques. Eye diagram analysis is widely used for high speed communication channel evaluation. The eye diagram overlays the unit intervals of a long digital bit sequence into a compact form that readily gives picosecond-level observations of the system. Generating an eye diagram of the target system under test, examining the eye opening and measuring BER as accumulated probability are the key aspects of channel compliance testing. HSPICE offers different techniques to analyze eye diagrams at different levels of simulation speed and accuracy. BER evaluation of multi-Gigabit systems requires the analysis of millions of unit intervals. Transient analysis of such long bit streams takes hours and produces huge data files. Thousands of simulation may be needed to cover the design space for channel optimization. Bit-by-bit and statistical eye diagram generation in HSPICE significantly improves the productivity of channel design by reducing simulation time from hours to seconds. Figure 4: HSPICE statistical eye diagram analysis HSPICE state-of-the-art statistical eye diagram analysis is applicable to all types of channels and models. HSPICE uses accurate transient analysis to calculate the impulse response of a number of small bit patterns, and then uses statistical methods to quickly generate the eye diagram as a probability density function (PDF) map that takes all the possible bit patterns into account as shown in Figure 4. HSPICE automatically extracts the jitter profiles by observing the vertical and horizontal cross sections of the eye diagram. HSPICE also generates the bit error rate (BER) map based on the PDF eye diagram. Then similarly taking cross sectional views of the BER, bathtub curves can be examined. HSPICE also captures the shortest necessary bit pattern which reproduces the inner-most - or in other terms the worst-case - eye fragment at a given time point. Using this worst bit pattern in subsequent short transient analysis, one can analyze the causes of eye closure and improve the design. HSPICE can extract time domain waveforms at particular bit positions, a useful technique for qualifying adaptive equalizer designs. Bit-by-bit eye diagram analysis uses a fast transient technique to generate eye diagrams for specific bit patterns at a fraction of the time needed for transient analysis. Bit-by-bit and statistical eye diagram techniques are very useful for channel design. For signoff, transient analysis offers the most accurate eye diagrams. HSPICE supports all types of IO models - including algorithmic ones (IBIS-AMI) - and frequency-dependent elements in time domain transient analysis. Parallel computing technology is used to speed up the simulation of extremely long bit sequences without compromising accuracy. Figure 5: combining AMI and transistor-level models in statistical, bit-by-bit and transient eye diagram analysis HSPICE has the unique ability to mix and match analysis technique and model types to best fit every stage of channel design and compliance testing. As shown in Figure 5, HSPICE treats the channel as a complete black box giving the user the option to include any combination of active and passive devices. HSPICE also allows for different transmitter and receiver representations. For example the transmitter can be a transistor level IO circuit while the receiver is an IBIS-AMI model and vice versa. In early design stages, one can use fast statistical eye diagram analysis to evaluate pattern independent transmitter emphasis. For such analysis, IBIS-AMI models are used in the transmitter side only keeping the receiver as an idealized receiver termination. Then as design evolves, one can use bit-by-bit simulation replacing the idealized receiver with an algorithmic model in order to test how well the adaptive equalizer adjusts its parameters to achieve maximum eye openings. Then by switching the analysis from bit-by-bit mode to full transient, one can capture any nonlinear effects that may happen to be in the channel. At the final verification stage, most likely full transistor representations of both transmitter and receiver buffers will be used. HSPICE has the flexibility to run all these analysis in the same testbench. About the authors: Hany Elhak, Product Marketing Manager, Synopsys, Inc.

I'm trying to run osm2pgrouting and on Ubuntu 12.04...everything looks like it's working until it gets to "classes table created" when it just stops. I'm watching the process with the system monitor and it looks like it's loaded the whole OSM file into memory(the RAM used by the program is about the same size as the file, ~200MB). But once it gets to that part the CPU usage goes down to nothing and it doesn't do anything. The program doesn't crash or anything, it just seems to go on break. Here's my command: osm2pgrouting -file file.osm -dbname osm -user name -conf mapconfig.xml -clean -passwd xxx

Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley fell short in his attempt to change filibuster rules to prevent abuse. He needed two thirds of the senate to approve the measure, and only got 46 votes. The Bill would have required Senators to remain on the floor in order to block legislation. In a statement, merkley says he will continue to fight for filibuster rule changes. He says they will build on their support and hopefully pass reform in the future.

Friday 27th July, 2012 8:30am to 8:30am The future of marketing lies in communities. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube - wherever your audience is, they are talking about you. As our audiences become more sophisticated and more evolved, it is no longer good enough to market at them. You have to consider how you engage with them, in turn creating a culture of education evangelists. But it isn't easy. When we look at some of the most successful videos on YouTube for instance, one of the most common themes is how they mix content together. As we begin to consider new, fun, engaging ways of interacting with prospective and current students, it is important to consider what role re-mixable media will play in promoting your school. Some brands have tried and failed. Some have found success. Others still are missing huge opportunities. Regardless, in the world of re-mixable media in marketing, there is value in giving away something for nothing.

|Project by bit101||posted 04-03-2014 02:16 PM||1283 views||1 time favorited||2 comments| Decided to make me a marking knife. I used an old hacksaw blade. Idea from Jack Houweling here: http://youtu.be/LqZuFVzHf1A . 1. Cut the blade, ground it to a point and polished the end to a mirror finish with my scary sharp sandpaper – up to 2000 grit. 2. Sliced up some leftover spalted maple and chiseled a thin channel in each side. 3. Epoxied the blade into the wood, then glued the two sides together. 4. Put a roundover on the edges, sanded the crap out of it, and finished with a couple of coats of danish oil. 5. Then sharpened a double bevel on one side of the blade. The other surface is left flat so it can sit tight against a straight edge. Looks nice, feels good in the hand, and works like a charm.

In Reply to: updates July August Harry Palmer Site posted by K Stam on July 25, 2009 at 12:44:06: The Screenwriter of Ipcress File recently passed away aged 86; here's the obituary: From The Times August 25, 2009 James Doran: dramatist and screenwriter James Doran had three plays produced in the West End of London but was better known for his television work on such series as Z Cars, Public Eye and Enemy at the Door. He also wrote the final draft of the screenplay for The Ipcress File (1965), based on Len Deightonís spy thriller and starring Michael Caine. He was born in Edinburgh in 1924. His father was a doctor, who came south to work as a GP in Limehouse in the East End of London before moving out to the suburbs, and his mother was the dramatist Lesley Storm. She wrote such West End hits as Black Chiffon and Roar Like a Dove, and with her laconic humour and love of good living she was an important influence on Doranís life. Her friend, the Labour politician Aneurin Bevan, once took the young Doran on a tour of Parliament and perched him on the Woolsack, telling him he might one day become Lord Chancellor. Doran attended St Paulís School in London, where he developed a love of the classics and became a leading member of the boxing team, coached by the British heavyweight champion, Len Harvey. During the later stages of the Second World War Doran served in the Royal Marines and as a young lieutenant commanded a landing craft on D-Day, putting Canadian troops ashore under enemy fire. In 1945 he took part in the liberation of the Channel Islands where a German officer he took prisoner presented him with a horse. But he was unable to bring it back to England. After working as a journalist on a short-lived topical magazine, News Review, for which he interviewed stars such as Vivien Leigh and Paul Robeson, Doran followed his mother into writing for the theatre, and from the late 1950s three of his plays were put on in the West End. But all had shortish runs and he decided to change mode once more and try his hand in television. He soon became one of the writers on the ground-breaking police series, Z Cars. His journalistic background, and his contacts in the Lancashire police, gave his writing the documentary quality for which Z Cars was noted. He also wrote scripts for the soap opera Compact and Dr Finlayís Casebook. The screenplay for The Ipcress File was nominated for a British Film Academy award. During the 1970s Doranís television work included several episodes of Public Eye, starring Alfred Burke as a seedy private detective, and he drew on first-hand experience for Enemy at the Door, a series about the Channel Islands under German occupation. In the mid-1970s, hoping to develop his career in Hollywood, Doran moved with Beverley, his second, American, wife, to the United States. But he found Los Angeles uncongenial and after 18 months or so returned to England having failed to get established. His marriage also failed, as did a first brief wartime marriage to Anne Bersey, who became the Labour MP, Anne Kerr. Doran later contributed to a TV adaptation of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and in the early 1980s he wrote for the police series, The Gentle Touch and Juliet Bravo, both of which featured female officers. He is survived by Judy Manning, his partner of 30 years, and two sons. James Doran, dramatist and screenwriter, was born on May 15, 1923. He died on July 14, 2009, aged 86 Post a Followup

Bus passengers have been wrongly charged thousands of pounds because of a quirk in the contactless payment system, Metro has learned. Almost 1,800 commuters have been given refunds totalling £11,000 after Oyster readers charged the wrong card. Some disgruntled Londoners end up paying for journeys twice, as money is taken from their debit cards despite the fact they have paid for a season ticket. The figures – released following a Freedom of Information request – will prompt fears of more overpayments when the technology is rolled out across London transport later this year. TfL director Shashi Verma said: ‘If a wallet or purse contains several cards, it is possible the reader will detect one card without seeing the other.’ Contactless payment was introduced on buses in 2012, allowing travellers to pay on bank cards without a Pin. The fare costs the same as on Oyster cards. More than 10million journeys have been made using contactless payment on London buses so far. But there are potential consequences for those who are wrongly charged, as customers could be pushed beyond their overdraft or credit limit. In some cases, the reader may detect two cards and reject them both, which is known as ‘card clash’. TfL has started publicity campaigns at stations, reminding travellers to keep their cards separate. Mr Verma added: ‘Just under one per cent of all Oyster and contactless journeys involve a card clash and we are seeing this number continue to drop each week.’

Choctaw Books owner Fred Smith is emphatic that customers understand why all of his books are marked down 30 percent. “It’s a store closing sale. I’m not going out of business,” Smith says from behind a desk piled high with books and appraisal orders. “Its not like I’m dying.” It’s been a busy month for the Jackson book dealer. His fourth grandchild was born last week and he’s in the middle of tracking down books for the Grant Presidential Library at Mississippi State University. Smith is also counting down the days until Choctaw’s Sept. 30 closure when he will check the aisles, turn out the lights and lock the doors one last time at his little book shop on North Street. It will be the end of the line for one of the Southeast’s oldest surviving used and rare book dealers. “I’ve been open six days a week for 31 years,” Smith says. “I won’t know what to do with myself. It’s nice to have something to do everyday.” Smith says he will keep his phone number listed and will keep appraising books for clients, a lost art that’s become extremely valuable for historical archives, libraries and universities. “The used bookseller retirement program never existed,” Smith says. Choctaw Books began as the personal library of Fred’s father, Frank Smith, a newspaper editor and Mississippi congressman that President Kennedy appointed to the governing board of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Over the years the collection grew, with Fred Smith adding titles from used and rare book catalogs, estate sales and walk-ins. While authors don’t make any money off the sales, local writers Willie Morris and Eudora Welty would frequently stop by to chat with Smith and sign copies for his store. Hardly anyone stops in anymore and Smith says that’s part of the problem. “We’ve always had a double whammy of the lowest per capita spending on books in the country and the highest illiteracy rate,” Smith says. There’s barely any room to walk the Choctaw aisles with stacks of books towering to the second and third shelves. “Over the years so many of my good customers have died,” Smith says. Others have moved away or stopped collecting. “The younger folks you either lose them when they get married or when they have children,” Smith says. “Baby needs shoes so we can’t buy any books.” In the last decade, Amazon.com has grown into one of the country’s leading booksellers, even challenging national big box retailers like Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million. Richard Howorth with Square Books in Oxford would often recommend people to Choctaw Books but says its much easier to find used books today on the Internet. “That’s the way most used booksellers are operating today,” Howorth says. While brick-and-mortar dealers like Smith continue to close their doors, younger dealers are logging onto Amazon and eBay and making a living there. “I’m unintentionally a non-profit,” Smith says. “I’m not necessary and now I’m a dinosaur. Most of my friends that have stores in the Southeast gave up a long time ago. I was just a little too stubborn — kept thinking it’ll work; things will get better.” Lemuria Books owner John Evans says Choctaw’s closure is “a great loss for our community.” “I’m going to miss talking to Fred about books,” Evans says. “We had a very considerate, cohesive relationship even though we shared some customers.” Evans says the greatest loss will be the mountains of background knowledge Smith has on literature, Mississippi history, politics and the millions of anecdotes that he throws in along the way. Another issue is online book retailers that often price books based on scarcity rather than condition. Smith could shoot down those prices with one look. “A lot of the children’s books — things that my kids read growing up — they were $300,” Smith says. “Richard Scarry and the Berenstain Bears don’t need to be that kind of price.” Some dot com retailers are just downright dishonest or ignorant. “I wouldn’t buy a signed Faulkner off the Internet unless I knew exactly who the dealer was,” Smith says. Evans blames the lack of tourist traffic and “serious book consumers” in Jackson for the business slowdown. “I think its too hard to make a living — too hard to get the knowledge that you need,” Evans says. The question that remains is where will all the old books go? If an estate sale or family member has a collection they want to sell there are only a few bookstores in the state to go to. Smith says paperbacks can be traded in or sold at local shops and Evans says libraries accept rare books but often resell them for a dollar apiece with no condition or value appraisal. The Book Shelf in Ridgeland and Pentimento Books in Clinton deal in rare and used books. Smith says he will miss the people the most. “Helping people build collections of Mississippi history and the Civil War. That was always the joy of having somebody come in and find something they’d looked for for years. They’re excited,” he says. He is open to ideas on the future of his collection and will keep the building for storage. “Depending on the quality of what’s left I could sell this stuff on the Internet for the rest of my life,” he says. “That’s never been bookselling to me.”

The car dealer hoping to buy cash-strapped Wrexham Football Club has called for more backers to join him. The future of Wrexham FC hangs in the balance Neville Dickens has made an offer to take over the club, which has debts of around £4m. However, his undisclosed bid is less than that of a rival party who he said wanted to demolish and redevelop the Racecourse Ground. Mr Dickens, an ex-club director, also confirmed that he had been in talks with the Dragons' owner Alex Hamilton. He said: "We have had a meeting with Mr Hamilton and he has indicated that he has had a higher offer from another interested party with local connections who want to demolish the Racecourse and redevelop the whole site. "Our offer falls short of this, but I'm hoping that we can come up with something that would be nearer to his expectations. "I'm hoping we'll be in a position to go with some sort of offer in the next ten days," he said. "We are looking for more backers to come in. We're doing everything we can to try to save the football club," he added. Mr Dickens was a Wrexham FC director in the 1980s and one of his garages is on land adjoining the Racecourse stadium. The football club was placed in administration last December with debts of more than £4m. It was made public in September that Mr Hamilton had given the club notice to quit the ground. Wrexham were deducted 10 points - the first club to suffer a new penalty for calling in administrators - leaving the League One side on the brink of relegation. The team needs to beat Brentford on Tuesday night to stand a chance of survival, with a final match at home again on Saturday.

Some Biogeographers, Evolutionists and Ecologists: Eigenmann, Carl H. (Germany-United States Eigenmann spent just about his entire adult life connected with Indiana University, Bloomington: first as a student there, and then as professor and administrator. He was one of David Starr Jordan's first students, and quickly earned himself a prominent place among ichthyologists internationally. Eigenmann spent much of his professional career studying the evolution and systematics of South American fishes, but he is perhaps best known for his rigorous analyses of the circumstances of degenerative evolution, especially as regards the blind cave fishes of several locations in America and Cuba.

While we have been swamped to the far ends of our bandwidth here at Photo Business News, lots has been happening. Just because we've not been commenting daily, does not mean we haven't been paying attention. The magazine world is turning upside down. Video is becoming stills, and ad revenues are slashing frequencies of publication. While it's cool to see Esquire innovating like that, we predicted the Red Camera would do just this just over a year ago - One more nail in the coffin (3/18/07), with sports being in the cross-hairs. Now that a COVER was done, doing inside pieces are now demonstrably a piece of cake, and events (yes, that means sports, for sure) that are regularly covered by TV will find red cameras being used to allow for you to be able to choose the best moment in time. The world of Search Engine Optimization has, for photographers, exploded. Previously, SEO was limited to people who just knew how to optimize websites. liveBooks has made white-hat SEO a cornerstone of their website offering, and they are, by far and away, the best of the photographer-centric website providers to do SEO. Blake Discher has been traveling the country for ASMP for some time, doing his presentation - Is Your Web Site Making You Money?, and recently, PhotoShelter threw the doors wide open, with a Free SEO Toolkit, took on website designers when it comes to SEO, in their piece - Is Your Web Designer Full of Crap?, taked about the importance of page titles, and even went into the importance of URL legibility, in Make Your URL's Like Your Photos: Beautiful. If people actually read what they were writing, and actually acted upon the information, they would be kicking ass and taking names on website positioning on Google. Now, Seth Resnick, who is probably just as insane when it comes to web optimization and SEO as I am, has jumped (back) into the game, with a program at the end of next month through his seminar on search engine optimization in Miami. Seth has been doing SEO as long as I have, and he knows his stuff. The key to learning from him is to figure out a way to shift his speeding-Ferrari mind down to like first gear with the clutch not fully engaged so that you can understand what he's talking about. If you go, bring a tape recorder, because you'll learn about 10% while listening to him live, and 10% more the next time you listen, and so on. Seth comprehends SEO like few other people I know. Meanwhile, the good folks (and an advertiser here at PBN) have just released FotoQuote Pro version 6, that include 86 New Pricing Categories, including 35 Video Stock Footage Categories, and over 30 Dedicated Web Usages as well. If you know these folks, they're the real deal and they know what they're talking about when it comes to pricing, and the coach feature for each usage is really really insightful.

Does a private, unaided school seeking affiliation to CBSE require a no-objection certificate from the state government of the state in which the private unaided school is situated? The Delhi High Court has ruled that a no-objection certificate from the state government is a must and that decision is currently on appeal in the Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court upholds it, state governments will have a means to control the growth of private, unaided CBSE schools in their respective states, which would not be good at all. Things like this could happen in any state. Here's the background to the case currently before the Supreme Court. There was a Delhi High Court ruling on September 08, 2005, in a case involving a private, unaided school (run by Tushar Welfare Society), seeking affiliation to the CBSE, which had applied to the Uttar Pradesh State Government for a no-objection certificate, to which the state government never responded. The CBSE had declined affiliation to the school on the grounds that it had not submitted the no-objection certificate from the state government, which it claimed was a requirement according to the bye-laws of the CBSE. The school obviously couldn't submit the no-objection certificate because the state government was dragging its feet for some reason. The school filed a writ petition in the Delhi High Court arguing that the CBSE's constitution stipulated that a no-objection certificate was required only for state-funded schools and the bye-laws could not extend that to private, unaided schools, and over-ride the CBSE's constitution. Justice Vikramajit Sen of the Delhi High Court agreed and ruled in favour of the private, unaided school and asked the CBSE to recognise the school even without the no-objection certificate, if it satisfied all other conditions. Justice Vikramajit Sen also made a few other interesting observations in his ruling (of September 08, 2005), which are excerpted below (emphasis is mine). These observations were criticised by two other judges of the Delhi High Court when this matter went on appeal (see below). 7. The Constitution of the CBSE requires the concurrence of the State Government concerned if in those cases where an Institution receiving 'regular maintenance or grant-in-aid from a State' applies for affiliation to the CBSE. There is sufficient reason for this stipulation since the State which is disbursing grant-in-aid to an Institution must retain the power to decide inter alia whether such Institutions should prepare the students for appearing for examinations conducted by the State itself or jointly by the State Education Boards as well as Central Boards such as the CBSE. Equally, Institutions which do not take aid from the State must have the freedom to choose whether they will prepare its students to appear in a Central or State Board examinations. If Central Boards are increasingly preferred over State Board, one of the consequences would be that High Courts throughout the country would not be burdened with several Writ Petitions dealing with the grant of equivalence of educational qualifications. It is widely experienced that one State does not automatically grant recognition to educational qualifications obtained from another State and educational standard vary drastically. The most effective solution is to be found in students appearing in one of the Central Board examinations such as conducted by the CBSE. The difficulties and problems that are endemic in varying and deferring standards of State Education Boards would automatically be obviated. 8. In this analysis, therefore, the CBSE is adopting a retrogate practice and stand in insisting that State clearances should be taken even by School which are private and unaided. In the present times, control and interference of the State is consciously being minimised. It would be a progressive step if educational institutions maintain themselves and regulate their affairs without drawing upon the State funds for which there invariably are many other suppliants. Where the parents of students are unable to afford the fees of private institutions, State schools should be available, as they presently are. No further regulation of education is called for. It is this ethos which has been expressed in the Constitution of the CBSE itself. All institutions which fall in the category of being private and unaided need not therefore obtain the concurrence and prior approval of a State Government for applying for affiliation to the CBSE. This is also what the Constitution of the CBSE itself envisages. The Bye-laws of the CBSE which require the concurrence and/or approval of the State Government are clearly ultra vires, and are, therefore, struck down. Private institution which obtain affiliation to the CBSE or any other Central Board need not have any connection with the State in which it is located, apart from it following and adhering to local laws including labour legislation. The CBSE then appealed the decision in the Delhi High Court, which was heard by the Chief Justice Markandeya Katju and Justice Madan Lokur who delivered a judgement on December 09, 2005 which set aside the judgement of September 08, 2005 of Justice Vikaramajit Sen and dismissed the original writ petition filed by Tushar Welfare Society. Some excerpts from the December 09, judgement make interesting reading. 15. In para 3 of the counter affidavit it is stated that the CBSE is discharging the function of conducting examinations, prescribing educational courses and generally maintaining standards of school education and advising the Government of India when called upon to do so on matters pertaining to school education. The CBSE frames its own rules and is governed by them and it has not been created under any statute. The CBSE is an autonomous and independent body, and no part of its expenses for running the organization is borne by the Government. It gets no aid, grant or subsidy from the Government and is not a State under Article 12 of the Constitution. This is an interesting point, which I had not been aware of. According to the CBSE web site, "CBSE is a self-financing body which meets the recurring and non-recurring expenditure without any grant–in–aid either from the Central Govt. or from any other source. All the financial requirements of the Board are met from the annual examination charges, affiliation fee, PMT examination etc." But the CBSE web site also states that the "The Education Secretary, MHRD, Govt. of India is the Controlling Authority of the Board. If the Board does not, within a reasonable time, take action, to the satisfaction of the Controlling Authority, the Controlling Authority may, after considering any explanation furnished or representation made by the Board, issue such directions, consistent with this Resolution, as he may think fit, and the Board shall comply with such directions." So its autonomy is questionable. 17. Thus it is evident that although the CBSE was initially created by the Central Government by the Resolution dated 01.07.1929, subsequently the appellant was registered as a society registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. Hence after its registration on 02.01.1935 it ceased to be a limb of the Central Government and became an independent and distinct legal entity. 24. In Para 06 of the impugned judgment the learned Single Judge has observed :- So far as regulations or bye-laws vis-a-vis a statute are concerned it is firmly entrenched in our jurisprudence that a delegate would exceed the jurisdiction and the powers vested in it if it were to go beyond the provisions of the Statute which has created it. 25.There is no disputing the proposition which the learned Single Judge has referred to in the above observation. However, with due respect to the learned Judge what has not been taken into consideration by him is that there was no statute which created the CBSE but only a Resolution of the Central Government dated 01.07.1929. That Resolution is only an executive order and not a statute. Subsequently, the CBSE became a registered society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 on 02.01.1935. Hence from 02.01.1935, the society is no longer a limb of the Central Government, but is a distinct legal entity like a company registered under the Companies Act, 1956. Hence from 02.01.1935 the CBSE is no longer governed by the Resolution of the Central Government dated 01.07.1929. It is this vital point which has been over looked by the learned Single Judge and hence in our opinion, the said judgment cannot be sustained. 26. The learned Single Judge in para 8 of the impugned judgment has further observed:- In this analysis, therefore, the CBSE is adopting a retrograde practice and stand in insisting that State clearances should be taken even by Schools which are private and unaided. In the present times, control and interference of the State is consciously being minimized. It would be a progressive step if educational institutions maintain themselves and regulate their affairs without drawing upon the State funds for which there invariably are many other suppliants. Where the parents of students are unable to afford the fees of private institutions, State schools should be available, as they presently are. No further regulation of education is called for. It is this ethos which has been expressed in the Constitution of the CBSE itself. All institution which fall in the category of being private and unaided need not therefore, obtain the concurrence and prior approval of a State Government for applying for affiliation to the CBSE. 27.With profound respect to the learned Single Judge, we are of the view that using language like "retrograde practice" and remarks like "in the present times, control and interference of the State is consciously being minimized", are wholly irrelevant and misplaced. The court has to decide a case on legal principles and not on its own notions of what is "retrograde" and what is "progressive". 34. In our opinion, it is entirely for the Board to lay down the rules for grant of affiliation. This is a policy matter, and it is not proper for this Court to interfere in this. 45. The bye-law 3(i) which requires a No Objection Certificate from the State Government before grant of affiliation to a school is a policy decision of the CBSE, and it is well settled that in policy matters this court should not ordinarily interfere. The Independent Schools Federation of India has appealed in the Supreme Court on April 13, 2006 against the Delhi High Court judgement of December 09, 2005. The Hindu (April 16, 2006) reported on this appeal. The Supreme Court has issued notice to the Central Board of Secondary Education on a special leave petition challenging a Delhi High Court order, which said it was mandatory for a school seeking CBSE affiliation to obtain a no-objection certificate" (NoC) from the State Government concerned. A Bench consisting of Justices K.G. Balakrishanan and P.P. Naolekar issued the notice on Thursday. The petitioner, Independent Schools Federation of India, contended that the by-law, making it mandatory for schools seeking affiliation to the CBSE to get the NoC, was violative of the government resolution by which the board was constituted. As per this resolution, affiliation could not be denied to an unaided school if it failed to secure the NoC. The petitioner said it represented hundreds of unaided public schools seeking affiliation to the CBSE in the interest of the children of government servants with transferable jobs, who might otherwise have to contend with different syllabi and different courses being followed in various States. The petitioner cited clause 9 of the July 1, 1929 Central Government resolution, which laid down that the State Government's concurrence was mandatory if a school was getting grant-in-aid from it. This clause was not applicable to unaided public schools, which were not getting any grant-in-aid from the State. Note the mention of the terms "public schools" and "children of government servants with transferable jobs" in the report above. What is meant by "public schools"? How are they different from private, unaided schools on which the Delhi High Court had ruled earlier? While The Hindu had reported on the September 08, 2005 ruling by the Delhi High Court, I could not find any report on the Delhi High Court order on December 09, 2005 overturning the September ruling of the Delhi High Court. The Hindu's latest report (April 16, 2005) on the appeal in the Supreme Court makes no mention of the overturning of the September ruling on December 09, 2005, except to say it was being challenged in the Supreme Court. Not very good reporting by The Hindu, I must say. I had to dig around for the various rulings to piece together the puzzle.

Click on the logos of the partners to see their Synergy activities: The project “SYNERGY: When Local Partners Become a European Network” is a Grundtvig Learning Partnership coordinated by Aventura Marão Clube (AMC), a local association, created in 1993 and responsible for the management and coordination of the Youth Center from Amarante. This partnership will involve partner organisations from european countries (Romania, Italy, Latvia, Finland and Portugal) that are (directly or indirectly) connected with local youth centers and work within its local social networks. The idea behind this project is to reflect on the role of youth centers/organisations in the social institution's network and to enhance the synergies between local institutions to improve the quality of social work. The project, that will start in September 2013 and end in August 2015, will have 6 transnational activities (mobilities): - Opening conference and study visit (Portugal); - Intercultural workshop/language learning (Latvia); - Workshop about opportunities of EU Programmes (Romania); - Seminar about cooperation with local authorities (Italy); - Seminar to exchange good practices (Finland); - Closing conference and evaluation (Portugal); Besides these 6 moments of international interaction between the learners, the project foresees different kind of activities implemented at local level: - Training of the learners in topics related to the theme of the partnership (intercultural learning, social projects management, leadership, interpersonal communication, ICT tools, etc.); - Networking (developing cooperation among local institutions and authorities); - Visibility (promoting and disseminating the outputs and good practices).

Campaign Cartographer, the Writer / Designer’s Friend Part 2 – Moving stuff around CC3 offers the primary benefit of a CAD-based illustration tool in a gamer-friendly form. Whether creating a map or using it for any of the purposes I’ll discuss below, that benefit is ease of editing. It lets you think visually, by allowing you to easily and continually manipulate its various elements. Changing either an element or its position relative to others proves blissfully easy. When sketching out an encounter map for publication, you’re always going to realize midway through that you need to make an adjustment—you’ve left a tactical bottleneck at the entrance, placed a trap where it won’t get tripped, or given a confusing position marker to a creature. You can move stuff around in Photoshop or one of its equivalents, but it’s a pain. On paper, forget about it. Moving stuff around is what CC is all about—for me at least. Without that function, the already time-consuming job of designing Mutant City Blues’ Quade Diagram would have been… well, some things are too awful to contemplate. For those who don’t know it, Mutant City Blues is a super-powered police procedural for the GUMSHOE line of investigative roleplaying games. A mystery game set in a world of super-powered heroes doesn’t work unless all the extraordinary abilities have been documented and work predictably. In the MCB setting, all of the available super powers have been charted, cataloged, and placed on a relational diagram named after its primary discoverer, Dr. Lucius Quade. The diagram shows where powers cluster together on the genome. You’re highly likely to possess powers that cluster together on the chart and unlikely to manifest ones that are widely separated. The Quade Diagram is both a rules and a world artifact. In the world, the characters employ it as a tool while solving their cases. In the game, players use it to choose and cost out their mutant powers. Because similar powers cluster together, I was forced to rearrange the chart whenever I realized that I’d missed including an obvious comic book power and had needed to add it to the master list. The thought of completing each of these ongoing changes in a drawing-style illustration program fills me with existential dread. The chart appears in gussied-up form in the published rule book. Below you’ll see what the work version looked like in Campaign Cartographer (click to enlarge). Continue to Part 3 – Developing fiction >>

I have inherited a critical situation as follows. - 2 x 16-Disk RAID5 Storage systems (one holding master data, one holding backups) - Backup system had no monitoring and two disks failed so all data is lost - not a huge issue - Master system is showing 2 disks with media errors, one holding steady at around 30 and the other at about 2,000 but slowly growing (was 2,100 after a week or so) There are longer term plans to use better storage, use hot spares, put in place better monitoring, set up mirroring, backups etc. etc. etc. but the immediate need is to protect the master data as it is crucial to the business but is sitting on a RAID5 array with two disks showing errors We have basically boiled down the options to one of - Swap out the disk with 2,000 media errors and let the RAID5 array rebuild - Once complete, swap out the other disk with media errors Main concern with this is that whilst the array is being rebuilt (24-48 hours?), there is zero redundancy in the system and any disk failures would mean loss of all data. - Leave the RAID5 array as is and copy the data onto a new storage array Main concern with this is that it will take many times longer than the RAID rebuild as the filesystem has many 100's of millions of little files so the copy could take close to a month to complete without impacting the site that is using the files I would be interested in views on which approach you would take and why? Are media errors of this level worrying? Is the level of growth in the media errors worrying?

Opinions, Context & Ideas from the TPM Editors TPM Editor's Blog This is silly. It is at best the over-literalism that afflicts people who make their trade with words, i.e., reporters. On simply logical terms, someone can be hard-right and would govern hard-right but is consistently shape-shifting and running away from their positions to suit the politics of the moment and gain power. In other words, he's not leveling with you. He's trying to fool you. That works since that's basically what Romney is doing. But more than this, politics and political messaging doesn't work like a logical argument. They don't work or not because the Ps & Qs don't match up. This isn't how peoples' minds work, something you can know either by studying the cognitive sciences or just getting out and walking around the block. They're both true. So you should say both. It'll work itself out.

UNC's Robert Quinn deals with brain tumor, NCAA suspension INDIANAPOLIS Doctors told 6-4, 265-pound North Carolina defensive end Robert Quinn when he was a high school senior experiencing blackouts and headaches, that he "should have been brain dead" after discovering a brain tumor that has since proven benign. "It was kind of that Boobie Miles moment," said Quinn, referencing the Texas high school tailback featured in the best-selling book Friday Night Lights, whose career was derailed by a knee injury. "When I looked at my mom when they told me I wouldn't play sports again, I became that big old baby and busted out in tears. "It was just heartbreaking. But it didn't slow me down. "And I'm still going." Quinn has to undergo MRI monitoring every six months to check on the tumor. He showed a humble side yet a quiet confidence when he spoke to reporters Saturday before running a 4.73-second, 40-yard dash on Monday. Quinn said he hopes to prove he's the best pass rusher in this draft and that a year away hasn't hurt him. He was forced to sit out last season due to a suspension when the NCAA found him guilty of accepting $5,642 in benefits, mainly jewelry and travel accommodations from an agent. "I made a selfish mistake that me and my team, my family and coaches paid a price for," Quinn said. "God gave me a talent, and in a second, he can take it away from me. "I truly apologized for it." NFL Network draft guru Mike Mayock predicted Quinn would, "Blow this combine up. "He's as good a natural pass rusher as I've ever seen." Elway ready for first draft in charge Hall of Fame Denver Broncos legend John Elway looked as cool and poised as ever standing at the center of an impromptu pocket, surrounded by a dozen media members in a hotel lobby at the NFL scouting combine. The two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback is 50 now, 12 years removed from being the oldest quarterback ever to win a Super Bowl following the 1998 season. Elway is driven to win another Super Bowl for the franchise he returned to work for one month and a half ago. Owner Pat Bowlen brought back his highly respected former quarterback as Broncos executive vice president of football operations. Elway still sees the game through the lens of the pocket. The quarterback who led 38 fourth quarter or overtime career comeback wins, tied for third all-time with former Baltimore Colts legend Johnny Unitas, hopes — in tandem with new head coach John Fox and general manager Brian Xanders — to orchestrate another dynamic comeback this season . The Broncos are coming off a disappointing 4-12 season that saw the dismissal of former coach Josh McDaniels. They own the second overall pick in the draft. "We have talked about the fact that we have to be good in the draft," Elway said. "We do not have the luxury of having many misses, especially when you have the picks that we have. We have to be dead on and the guys that we do go with have to be able to play for us and play for us early. "We know that for us to get back to where we have to get, we have to be good in the draft." Elway has some pedigree when it comes to personnel evaluation. His father, Jack, was a long-time head coach and former Broncos scout before passing away 10 years ago this April. He shared with his son some of the players he liked in the 2001 draft class. One of Jack Elway's blue-chip players from that class was Purdue quarterback Drew Brees, whose ultra-competitiveness jumped out at the elder Elway. "He was a big Drew Brees fan back then," Elway said. "If my dad was still around, I told everybody he would have been my first hire if he was still here, just because of his knowledge and the respect that I had for him."

The first £1,000 fare in the history of Britain’s railways has sparked fresh outrage over the “ludicrously” high cost of train travel. The latest round of price rises means a first-class “walk-on” return from Newquay in Cornwall to Kyle of Lochalsh in Scotland is £1,002. Rail experts say it is the first time since services began in 1825 that passengers have been asked to pay “a grand” for a trip entirely in the UK. Liberal Democrat transport spokesman Norman Baker said: “It is a very unwelcome landmark and will do nothing to encourage people to travel by train.” You’re given a choice between two gifts: $5 and $1,000. You can choose either, but a bystander will give you $1 million if you choose irrationally. Can you do it? Hm…. let’s see. Without the $1 million option, the irrational choice would be to pick the lower dollar amount, but if you pick that the bystander offering the million will simply claim that you do that to get the million dollars, making it the rational choice. So, picking either would trigger a claim that your choice is rational, so you might as well disregard the $1 million offer and make the rational choice and pick the $1000. Eh… wait, that would make the $5 irrational, right? The European Interoperability Framework (EIF) is an important document produced by the “Interoperable delivery of pan-European eGovernment services to public administrations, businesses and citizens” (IDABC) for the European Union. Version 1 came out in 2004, and since then battles have raged over how Version 2 would address the issue of “openness”. Judging by a leaked version of the near-final result, it looks like the lobbyists acting on the behalf of closed-source software houses have won. There are varying degrees of openness. Specifications, software and software development methods that promote collaboration and the results of which can freely be accessed, reused and shared are considered open and lie at one end of the spectrum while non-documented, proprietary specifications, proprietary software and the reluctance or resistance to reuse solutions, i.e. the “not invented here” syndrome, lie at the other end. The spectrum of approaches that lies between these two extremes can be called the openness continuum. Got that? “Closed” lies at one end of the *open* spectrum, which conveniently means we can *include* closed solutions in the interoperability framework because they are part of that continuum. Indeed, Version 2 goes on to say: While there is a correlation between openness and interoperability, it is also true that interoperability can be obtained without openness, for example via homogeneity of the ICT systems, which implies that all partners use, or agree to use, the same solution to implement a European Public Service. According to this line of thinking, if everyone were forced to use Microsoft Word for document interchange, then that would provide interoperability. Except that it wouldn’t, because interoperability implies at least two *different* things are are operating together: self-interoperability is trivial. Version 2’s “homogeneity” is better described as a monopoly and a monoculture – and the last two decades have taught just how dangerous those are. It’s not hard to see why some companies might prefer the wording of Version 2. Version 1 specifically says: “The intellectual property – i.e. patents possibly present – of (parts of) the standard is made irrevocably available on a royalty-free basis.” This would allow alternative implementations from the free software community, which is unable to pay royalties. The current wording, which allows patented, proprietary solutions as part of the “open continuum” would mean that free software could not compete. How convenient. Lobbyists are quitting the business at a record pace, according to a study released Monday. Over 1,400 lobbyists “deregistered” with Congress in the second quarter of 2009, according to a study conducted jointly by the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP) and OMB Watch. Typically, only a few hundred lobbyists quit each quarter. The giant spike in resignations came just after the Obama administration instituted strict new rules on lobbyist activity. The White House banned employees from receiving gifts from lobbyists and announced that any lobbyist hired by the executive branch could not work on the same issues on which he or she lobbied. But the study’s authors warn that not all of the deregistered lobbyists may actually be out of business. “At the federal level, many people working in the lobbying industry are not registered lobbyists, instead adopting titles such as ‘senior adviser’ or other executive monikers, thereby avoiding federal disclosure requirements under the Lobbying Disclosure Act,” CRP and OMB Watch said in a statement. When the history of the Second Circuit is written, the Arar decision will have a prominent place. It offers all the historical foresight of Dred Scott, in which the Court rallied to the cause of slavery, and all the commitment to constitutional principle of the Slaughter-House Cases, in which the Fourteenth Amendment was eviscerated. The Court that once affirmed that those who torture are the “enemies of all mankind” now tells us that U.S. government officials can torture without worry, because the security of our state might some day depend upon it. WOMAN: It meant everything to me that I was able to put the person who attacked me [behind bars]. And what allowed me to do that was our judicial process. I showed up in court every day to make sure that happened. VITTER: And I’m absolutely supportive of any case like that being prosecuted criminally to the full extent of the law. WOMAN: But there are rape victims who are being kept silent. WOMAN: But how can you support a company that tells a rape victim that she does not have the right to defend herself? VITTER: Ma’am The language in question did not say that in any way shape or form. WOMAN: But it is unconstitutional to have a law that says a woman does not have a right to defend herself. VITTER: You realize Mr. Obama was against that amendment and his administration was against that amendment WOMAN: But I’m not asking Obama. I’m asking you. VITTER: Do you think he’s in favor in rape? WOMAN: I’m asking you Senator. What if it was your daughter who was raped? Would you tell her to be quiet and take it? Would you tell your daughter to be silent? Of course the woman never received an answer to her question, because after totally mischaracterizing the President’s view, Vitter ran like a baby looking for his next diaper change. Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) voted against a bill in June which contained special funding to combat H1N1 both domestically and internationally. If history had taken a different course, Doug Holtz-Eakin would be inside the McCain White House driving the Republican president’s domestic agenda, including health-care reform. But now, one year after Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) lost the presidential election, the man who was by McCain’s side as the campaign’s top health-care guru remains unemployed — and his COBRA health coverage is running out. Irony of ironies, it gets worse. Holtz-Eakin, who is about to start shopping for insurance on the individual market, is 51. And he has one of those pesky “preexisting conditions” that insurance companies often cite in denying coverage. If only we had more tax cuts and deregulation, the free market would correct the problem of people being denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. According to an FCC report released Monday, a new $300 million Microsoft ad campaign is responsible for causing televisions all across the country to unexpectedly crash. The Microsoft ads, which began airing earlier this week, are being blamed for generating critical system errors in more than 70 million televisions. In addition, thousands of frustrated Americans said that the ads have caused their TVs to become unresponsive, their screens to turn blue, and a small box with the message “terminal application error” to suddenly appear. The healthcare reform proposals before Congress threaten the existence of the two-party system, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) alleged Monday morning. Hatch asserted that the health bills, which he believes represent a “step-by-step approach to socialized medicine,” will lead to Americans’ dependence on Democrats for their health and other issues. “And if they get there, of course, you’re going to have a very rough time having a two-party system in this country, because almost everybody’s going to say, ‘All we ever were, all we ever are, all we ever hope to be depends on the Democratic Party,’ ” Hatch said during an interview with the conservative CNSNews.com. “That’s their goal,” Hatch added. “That’s what keeps Democrats in power.” Senator Orin Hatch wants you to go bankrupt and die, so he and the rest of the Republicans can get elected again.

| || | In Derby, Dad doesn't know best anymore May 2, 2008 - Neil Rudel When it comes to the Kentucky Derby, as faithful readers know, I've long been forced to lean on my family. First it was my Uncle Herb, who upon retirement to Florida, began paying the light bill at Gulfstream. On visits to see my grandparents, I would accompany and watch him memorize the Racing Form. My dad, Dave Rudel, knew enough about it to be dangerous as well and picked Funny Cide out of the blue in 2003 to win the Derby. Since then, he got a little gunshy, probably from having his name in the Mirror, and he's been well, off stride, in the last four years. His '07 prediction, NoBizLikeShowBiz, still hasn't left the gate. So he's kind of backed off for this year, plus his local paper (OK, it's the Tribune-Democrat) hasn't been running the odds (another reason to buy the Mirror) so he's really flying blind. Anyhoo, my dad is loyal to Big Brown, the heavy favorite who will probably go off at even money. Dad rarely takes the frontrunner but my brother Mark works for UPS so there are obviously new rules this year. Since, as dad has always said, "anybody can pick the favorite," I'm going outside the family for real expertise. Glenn Stevens, having attended many of the Triple Crown races and worked around the stables, may be the most knowledgable horse racing guru in Blair County. Glenny, knowing I like the Funny Cide-like flyers, has coached me into a pair of 20-1 shots -- Visionaire and Smooth Air. Visionaire is particularly intriguing since it's prepped by Barbaro's trainer, Michael Matz, and is a closer. A more conservative pick, he said, would be Pyro at 6-1. Hang your hat on those three, in order, and good luck.

JOHN HENRY TWACHTMAN'S YOUTH John Henry Twachtman was born in Cincinatti (USA) in 1853 as the son of German immigrants. Twachtman started his career decorating window shades and studied drawing at the Ohio Mechanics Institute and McMicken School of Design. JOHN HENRY TWACHTMAN AS AN ARTIST In 1875, Frank Duveneck, a friend and teacher, invited the young artist to accompany him to Munich. Twachtman readily adopted the characteristic dark palette and rapid, open brushwork of Munich colleagues. After refining his painting skills on a trip to Venice in 1877, he returned to the United States and developed a forceful, realist manner, capturing the energy of city life in New York and Cincinnati. Like many great painters, Twachtman was never fully appreciated or well known in his lifetime. His work, which went beyond the representation of things, had a searching, abstract quality that was poorly understood. Fellow painter Edward Simmons recalled walking up and down Fifth Avenue in New York with Twachtman, hoping to sell one of Twachtman's landscapes for $25. Twachtman hungered after fame and fortune and was embittered by his failure to achieve them, even in his hometown. In Cincinnati, he once complained, "A good many people, all of them supposed to be up in art matters, have seen my paintings, but I am convinced they care little for them. This is a very old foggied place and only one kind of art is considered good. The old Dusseldorf School comes in for its full share of honor." Twachtman departed for Paris in 1883 with his wife and son to study with the popular teachers associated with the Academic Julian. Twachtman continued to improve his drawing skills, and the works from this period reflect an increasing interest in composition. The salon-size landscape painting "Arques-la-Bataille" (Metropolitan Museum of Art) represents the pinnacle of Twachtman's French period. Its stark composition and tonal palette reveal the influence of James McNeill Whistler as well as the flattened spaces and decorative patterns of Japanese art. As seen in "Along the River, Winter" (High Museum of Art), Twachtman was especially fond of winter landscapes. He explained to Weir in a letter, "We must have snow and lots of it. Never is nature more lovely than when it is snowing. Everything is so quiet and the whole earth seems wrapped in a mantle, all nature is hushed to silence." Twachtman moved back to the United States in 1885 and, after living in various places, moved his family to Greenwich, Connetticut, in 1889 or 1890. Family life at his 17-acre estate in Greenwich provided the leading subject matter for his art through the next decade. He returned to specific sites on the property and painted them repeatedly during different weather conditions and changing seasons, seeking to convey his personal reponse to the sensuous aspects of nature. By the mid-1890s, Twachtman's career became fully identified with the Impressionist movement, and American critics often compared him to Monet. Twachtman's brush- work, however, usually differed from the broken strokes of other American Impressionists. He varied his paint application from rich, tactile strokes to dry, chalky surfaces. His palette brightened during the 1890s when he often depicted close-up views of flowers, corners of the garden, and other favorite spots on the farm, as in "The White Bridge" Minneapolis Institute of Art) and "Waterfall, Blue Brook" (Cincinnati Art Museum). By 1897, Twachtman became a founding member of "The Ten American Painters" (or "The Ten"), a group of artists who seceded from the Society of American Artists and exhibited together for the next 20 years. Of "The Ten," Weir, Childe Hassam, Willard Metcalf and Twachtman were united by their rejection of descriptive art in favor of more subjective, innovative interpretations of nature. Twachtman created some of his most bold and experimental works for inclusion in this group's landmark exhibitions. Beginning in 1900, Twachtman spent his summers in the artist colony of Glouchester, Mass. A boldness and spontaneity is evident in his late Gloucester subjects, which are among the strongest and most aggressive works of his career. In these paintings he returned to the broadly brushed style of his Munich period and reintroduced black into his palette to capture the grittier images of life in Gloucester's commercial fishing docks. As in "Wild Cherry Tree" (Albright-Knox Art Gallery) or "Harbor View Hotel" (Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art), his use of daring compositions with simplified, geometric abstractions suggests his innate understanding of 20th century modernism. JOHN HENRY TWACHTMAN'S DEATH Twachtman, estranged from his family, was living in Gloucester when he died suddenly in the summer of 1902, a bitter and lonely man. He was buried in Gloucester. Upon his death, his colleague Thomas Dewing recognized the artist's avant-garde spirit by describing him as the "most modern spirit, too modern, probably, to be fully recognized or appreciated at present; but his place will be recognized in the future."

Ireland and Portugal get more time European Union finance ministers have agreed to grant Ireland and Portugal seven years more years to pay their bailout loans, easing the burden on their economies and paving the way for a quicker return to sustainable growth. In their attempts to make progress to stabilise the economy of the 17 nations sharing the euro currency, the ministers, also approved a 10 billion euro (£8.5 billion) rescue loan package to stop Cyprus from sliding into bankruptcy. But the rescue comes at a heavy price for the tiny Mediterranean island country. Cyprus, with an annual economic output of under 18 billion euro (£15.4 billion), must itself contribute 13 billion euro (£11 billion) to turn its economy around, levied through inflicting losses on holders of large bank deposits, tax increases and privatisations. But there was only little progress made on the other plan EU officials have billed as vital in helping turn the tide in the bloc's three-year-old debt crisis - the setting-up of a full-fledged banking union. The 17 ministers endorsed the legal framework for a central authority for Europe's banks, which had been hammered out between government representatives and the European Parliament last month. It is set to take effect starting next year. On the fundamental question of setting up a joint bank resolution mechanism and enabling Europe's bailout fund to directly recapitalise troubled banks, however, ministers reached no conclusion. Olli Rehn, the EU's top economic official, insisted that "the timeline for establishing a banking union should be as short as possible". He added: "The banking union is not created and completed overnight, but we must have a clear perspective for the banking union, with a specific timeline." Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who chairs the meetings of the Eurogroup of finance ministers, said he expected the bloc to reach agreement on the outstanding issues by June. The decision to extend the loan repayment schedules for Ireland and Portugal proved uncontroversial and was expected to be backed by the finance ministers of all 27 EU ministers, who were meeting this afternoon in Dublin. Ireland holds the six-month rotating presidency of the European Union, and the ministers are meeting in historic Dublin Castle. Mr Rehn welcomed the decision, but stressed both countries needed to stick to their programmes of fiscal consolidation and structural reforms, saying: "This is another very important step forward toward a sustained return to full market financing for both countries." The rescue loan package for Cyprus, in turn, still needs parliamentary approval in several eurozone member nations. Those votes are expected to be finalised by the end of the month, with the first loan disbursement planned in May, Mr Dijsselbloem said.

Women thanked for downtown planters There are about 14 beautiful planters along the streets and store places in Thornville, and I'd like to thank and give credit for their health and beauty to Shirley Packer and Patti Ridenour. They planted them and carried water almost every day this summer to all of them, sometimes using two gallons for each plant. I'm sure others appreciated it as much as I. Thank you Patti and Shirley.

The Town of North Beach maintains its own wastewater collection and water distribution system. All houses and buildings in the town are served by both systems. Wastewater is collected in the town sewer system and is then discharged to the wastewater plant at Chesapeake Beach where it is treated before being discharged to the Chesapeake Bay. Potable water for the town is supplied by two deep wells and stored in the ¼ million gallon elevated storage tank near 11th Street. All water supplied to town customers is metered. The water supply is treated with chlorine as required by the State Health Codes. There is no other treatment except an agent used to reduce the iron problem (see information on brown water). The town water supply is adequate to provide fire protection through the system of fire hydrants that are located throughout town. The town has some capacity in its water and sewer system to serve undeveloped lots in the town.

Television and Beyond Sanjay Rohatgi,Senior Vice President,Service Provider, Cisco India and SAARC The most talked-about topic today as far as the cable industry goes cable digitization is set to become a reality in India going by the government mandate that the entire country has to get digitized by December 2014. The timeline to complete the first phase of digitization in the four metros has recently been extended to November this year. This is no doubt a positive move from a policy perspective because it opens up a world of innovations for the Indian entertainment industry. A game changer in every sense of the word, digitization will ensure that end consumers get access to better quality content through a platform that is truly world class. Consumers can look forward to a far better entertainment experience because it signals the convergence of high-definition content and broadband accessibility. While consumers are in for a treat, the cable TV industry itself would undergo a sea change. Digitization of cable network offers tremendous potential for cable operators and broadcasters because it will result in full addressability and eradicate under-reporting of any subscriber base. Consequently, there will be increase in subscription revenues for them, a boon for multi-system operators (MSOs). With greater bandwidth underground, the carriage cost paid by broadcasters to distributors will come down but that will be well compensated by the increased number of channels that the cable operators will carry. This will be a real good news to all players in the entire value chain. Over the years, the local cable operators (LCOs) have been dominating the cable TV market by offering video/pay-TV services. Digitization will change all of that because billing relationship or end-user management will be controlled by MSOs. This will in turn streamline revenue distribution amongst broadcasters, MSOs, and LCOs. According to the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), MSOs will get a share of revenue from a significantly larger volume of subscribers (as they will have the direct relationship with subscribers). In terms of average revenue per user (ARPU) they will see an upside because of subscribers consuming and paying for value-added services and the opportunity to bundle broadband to some digital customers. According to the Telecom Regulatory of India (TRAI), there are over 200 broadcasters and about 600 television channels in India currently. Service providers include over 6000 MSOs, 60,000 LCOs, besides seven satellite television operators and many IPTV providers; the total number of TV households stands at 147 million. All this means a huge business opportunity for various players in the value chain. Challenges and Opportunities Alongside the benefits, cable digitization also brings some apparent challenges. As the biggest beneficiaries, MSOs will bear most of the execution challenges associated with meeting the digitization deadline. Considering the number of TV households in the main metros, which is 10 million, the MSOs need to deploy over 7000 STBs every day to meet the deadline. This is indeed a daunting task. One positive outcome of this is that financial pressures associated with digitization could drive consolidation among smaller MSOs having limited access to capital. With nearly 20 percent of analog cable TV subscribers expected to turn to DTH (instead of migrating to digital cable) in order to avoid paying additional costs for set-top boxes (STBs), MSOs who fail to execute the digitization process successfully will be under tremendous pressure. Therefore, it is critical that MSOs forge alliances on the technical, financial, and operational fronts with players having global expertise, past experience, and come with a comprehensive product portfolio. Capital availability and assuring a decent return on investment is also a major concern. Experts believe that ARPU rates would see a rise from presently '150 per month to about '180 per month and broadband bundling could increase substantially, going forward. Initial investment is still a cause for concern because cable TV distributors do not charge their consumers upfront for STBs. In order to tackle these issues, alliances are being forged that would help obtain financing for acquiring India-specific STBs and associated infrastructure. Consumer Demand – STBs and More With the number of available TV channels expected to increase from 70 to 500+, consumers can expect better services (HD, broadband) and a more personal, interactive, and social TV-viewing experience. This also means that the demand for the right kind of STBs will increase. STBs that come with a basic digital-to-analog converter, simple-to-use user interface with channel listing, favorites, parental control, and a remote control unit would be the most sought after one. If these solutions can additionally address the concern of piracy and allow program tiering, they would help increase ARPU for MSOs. STB solutions, which are HD TV ready, provide high-definition TV viewing, and support video on demand, data apps, and over-the-top content, will enable a true home theatre digital experience to the viewers. Given that consumers today are more inclined toward quality, the key driver is added value and high-definition picture quality. Consumers seek solutions that take advantage of intelligence through cloud, network, and clients to deliver a viewing experience of premium quality. Architectures that deliver on these expectations let consumers easily search, purchase, and play any content of their choice. They enable consumers to communicate, share, and manage their content and services within the same immersive, multi-screen experience. The experience gets better when delivered through an open platform that supports common industry standards. Additionally, such solutions let service providers extend the experience across any managed or unmanaged network, to any managed or unmanaged device. This in turn helps them deliver a consumer experience that is: - More intuitive, with a consistent interface across multiple devices and universal guide and search capabilities across all content sources - More visual, with seemingly infinite content and applications available from a range of sources, made easy to navigate on the TV screen or the customer's screen of choice - More social, by integrating social networking and telepresence capabilities that let consumers show, share, and engage with video - More mobile, with the ability to extend this unified experience over the service provider footprint or over unmanaged networks, to almost any managed or unmanaged device At the same time, these solutions help service providers unlock new revenue opportunities, monetize online video, and reinforce the value of their networks in the content delivery ecosystem. Future Growth Prospects What is being witnessed is actually just the beginning; it is expected that after completion of Phase I digitization, an entirely new industry will emerge as a well-capitalized one that will help creates incentives at each end of the value chain from content production to distribution and consumption. Experts also agree that the quality of content will significantly improve as digitization progresses. Time then, for us to wait and watch.
