Microsoft is to give Windows Vista an option for users to install ActiveX controls without the need for administrator approval, the company has revealed.
The move is in response to beta tests, which found that administrators had a hard time keeping up with updates to ActiveX controls, Microsoft said.
User Account Control (UAC), a feature to be introduced in Vista, places strict limits on standard users, including barring them from installing ActiveX controls without authorization from an administrator.
The feature's constant prompts for authentication have been heavily criticized by industry observers.
Chris Corio, a UAC program manager, said specifically that companies involved in the Technical Adoption Program (TAP) testing Vista had problems with numerous ActiveX controls used in day-to-day business.
Because users couldn't install the control updates themselves, administrators were being overloaded, he said.
"These ActiveX controls were being updated regularly, and the corporations couldn't package and deploy them to their users quickly enough," Corio said in a document describing the upcoming feature, on Microsoft's MSDN developer Web site.
The solution Microsoft is proposing is called the ActiveX Installer Service, consisting of a Windows service, a Group Policy administrative template, and a few changes in IE, according to Corio. The aim is to allow administrators to define group policies establishing URLs from which standard users can install ActiveX controls.
The feature will be an optional component with the Ultimate, Business and Enterprise versions of Vista, Microsoft said, and will only be enabled on clients where it is installed.
If the feature is enabled, and IE encounters a needed ActiveX control or update, the browser asks the service to carry out installation. The service checks to see if the control's host URL is defined, allowed and listed in group policy.
If it is, the service creates an installer object. If group policy doesn't specify that the control is allowed, Vista reverts to its default behavior, which is to ask for authentication, according to Corio.
So far, the service works with controls packaged as .cab, .dll or .ocx files, but Microsoft plans to enable MSI (Microsoft Installation) packages as well.
Microsoft demonstrated the service at last week's TechEd developer conference, and Ben Fathi demonstrated it as part of his security keynote there, the company said.
The feature will be included in Vista's the next public release, Release Candidate 1, according to Microsoft.
Not all administrators are thrilled with the idea of allowing constant updates of ActiveX controls. One administrator, writing on a MSDN discussion board, said developers shouldn't feel free to release buggy software and then release often disruptive fixes on a regular basis.
"Isn't this just a new excuse for the designers of said ActiveX controls to keep on releasing patches without thought of testing them before the fact?" he wrote. "The last thing I want to learn is that someone's falsified WebEx's certificate and is pushing malware under my nose. Or that WebEx released an update with a bug that results in privilege escalation."
Another admin commented that the feature is probably "a necessary evil."

Review by Suze
Franci and Lottie are identical twins. While in the beginning Lottie was the stronger one, later in life the balance shifted. Lottie's constant struggle with bipolar disorder and her reluctance to stay on her medication are making it difficult for Franci to stop worrying about her sister. Lottie stops taking her pills because she doesn't feel like she can be herself and she misses the manic periods, but being without her medication also brings the inevitable blackness of depression. Franci used to watch her sister's every move, however they have lost their closeness. First in distance and then a terrible incident caused a rift between them.
When Franci finds out Lottie was in an accident she rushes to the other side of the country to be there for her sister. She's stunned when she finds out Lottie has a daughter. Franci didn't know her sister was pregnant and never knew she had a baby girl. She has to take over the care while her sister is recovering. When she enters Lottie's apartment Franci finds a big mess. Franci should let Lottie lead her own life, but can she do this when she knows her sister isn't as stable as she should be, now that there's a child involved? When secrets of the past come to the surface the relationship between the sisters and their careful balance is being tested once more. What will happen when a terrible truth comes to light?
This Bright Beauty is a beautiful poignant story about two very different sisters. Franci and Lottie are twins and they look the same, but their personalities aren't very similar. Franci is levelheaded and craves stability. She finds it hard to be social, she doesn't easily make contact with others and she prefers to be invisible. Lottie gets along with everyone, she's outgoing and adventurous. When she wants something she goes after it. Franci and Lottie love each other unconditionally, but they have many issues. Lottie's illness and the consequences of her unwillingness to keep taking her medication are putting pressure on their relationship. Franci can't let go and wants to tell her sister how to live her life, which constantly causes friction. Their basis is a fierce love from both sides and the sisters try to protect each other, even if they don't get along. I love stories about siblings and was captivated by their complex bond from the start. Franci and Lottie clearly want to be individuals, but they have a connection that will never break. This makes fascinating reading and it kept me glued to the pages.
Emily Cavanagh writes about the emotional effects of being ill and watching a loved one struggle with a terrible illness in a fantastic emphatic way. She thoroughly explores every single layer of the feelings that are involved and the result is a terrific story. This Bright Beauty is heartbreaking and I often had tears in my eyes while reading this novel. I love it when I feel so much and This Bright Beauty impressed me on many different levels. I was mesmerized by the compelling relationship between Franci and Lottie from the start. I highly recommend this amazing book.
If you love emotional stories about sisters This Bright Beauty is an absolute must-read.

Being a scavenger-using real life as inspiration for fiction
Guest post by Emily Cavanagh
I am a scavenger. This is something that few people know about me, at least until now, but I scavenge the world for stories. The books I write often come out of some kernel of real life—a newspaper article I stumbled upon, a tidbit of gossip whispered over coffee, or being witness to someone else's drama as it plays out.
The idea for This Bright Beauty came to me after reading a devastating newspaper article involving twin sisters. I found myself haunted by the article and wondering how a twin relationship changes after one or both sisters have children. That question became the premise for the novel. The idea for my first book, The Bloom Girls, came after several incidents of sexual abuse in private schools was featured on the news and in the paper.
I became intrigued by the idea of growing up in the shadow of such an accusation and how a relationship is impacted when family members have different beliefs and understandings of the events. This became the kernel at the center of the novel. My most recent manuscript revolves around four college friends who come together for a weekend where all of the baggage from twenty years ago and the baggage they've acquired since comes back to haunt them. I began this book after spending a weekend with four of my own good friends. Over the weekend I pondered how female friendships and their intensity can change dramatically over time, and this inspired the manuscript.
Even the novels I read and the voices they're written in can end up being devoured for my own material. When I first started the manuscript of the four college friends, I'd recently finished reading Truly, Madly, Guilty by Liane Moriarty, a novel that centers on a decades-long friendship between two very different women. Both the subject matter and Moriarty's sharp and humorous voice were in my head as I began my own writing. While the end result of my novel is nothing like hers, that book was the kernel at the center of it.
Being a scavenger can be dangerous, and it holds a certain responsibility. I'm always aware of respecting other people's privacy and the fine line that exists between using truth for inspiration versus cannibalizing and exploiting someone else's life. While the idea for This Bright Beauty
originated from that newspaper article, the events that take place in the novel are completely different. The world, the conflict, and the characters are a creation of my own imagination rather than anything I read, and I am always conscious of the need to veer from the truth. That is the job of the storyteller—to find the kernel of emotion or conflict at the center of a tale and then twist it, mold it, build a world around it. While the kernel may be true, the world that exists beyond it is not.
One very lucky reader of With Love for Books will receive an audiobook, CD or MP3, version of This Bright Beauty by Emily Cavanagh.

The concept of a bear raid is based on the idea of combining resources to create a situation in which the prices of various securities are driven down. Those who engage in a bear raid can make a huge profit, but other investors can lose significant amounts of money. Ethical concerns about efforts to artificially force down the price of securities have led many countries to declare the use of bear raids to be illegal.
A bear raid might be attempted by a large trader or a cartel of traders who use their combined resources in unison. After the resources are in place, a security is identified as a viable project. The cartel engages in a plan of aggressive short selling on the security, which in turn begins the process of driving down the value of each share of the security. At the same time, it is not unusual for the cartel to use word-of-mouth to create some degree of suspicion about the stability of the security. As the negative reputation of the security begins to affect the price, the cartel is able to begin purchasing shares of the security at lower prices and continue the short selling strategy until the security bottoms out.
After the security has reached a sufficiently low value, the cartel will begin to purchase shares that they will hold onto as the security slowly recovers from the bear raid and the negative rumors begin to subside. This is known as creating an artificial long position, which ultimately can create a great deal of profit for the traders. By buying when the price is low and selling when the price has risen significantly, all expenses associated with the bear raid will be recovered, and the traders can receive an excellent profit from the venture. Although this process might take months or even years to achieve, the allure of the large profits makes the prospect enticing to people who can manage to wait that long for the strategy to work in full.
The downside of a bear raid is that while the group of traders make a great deal of money, others lose money because of the manipulation that caused the security's value to drop. This mixture of beginning with a short position that moves from short selling to heavy selling to long positions does not involve the natural process of market performance. The very nature of a bear raid is why many countries have enacted strict legislation that makes this tactic illegal and punishable by fines as well as imprisonment.

About Us
The Abacus mental math system has a rich history, stretching back 3,000 to ancient Rome, Mesopotamia, and China. Considered by many as a proto-type computer, abaci come in many forms and are used for mathematical calculations ranging from simple addition and subtraction to more complicated problems involving multiplication, division, and square or cube roots.
Though the structure of the tool has evolved over time to the modern model made of a bamboo or plastic frame with beads stacked on wires, this traditional "counting frame" still offers innumerable benefits and advantages to mathematical methods taught in our schools today. The Abacus itself provides a hands-on training tool that stimulates both the kinesthetic and visual centers in the brain. However, one of the main advantages it provides is the cultivation of mental math, so that with training a student can eventually visualize and calculate mentally without the physical tool.
Most veterans of westernized education systems spend years solving countless math equations with pencil and paper, only to rely on a calculator when it comes to finances or budgets in adulthood. With mental math training, on the other hand, elementary school children are able to multiply 4-digit numbers like 4387 x 9836 with dizzying rapidity. Instead of memorizing equations and rules of thumb, students can strengthen not just their memory, but their levels of concentration and visualization. Whereas western curriculum tends to categorize subjects to emphasize the left or right side of the brain, mental math is built on a holistic, whole-brain approach. In most schools today, there is an obvious split between students who excel in math and science versus those who perform well in language or the arts. Studies show that when we activate both sides of the brain, incorporating both logic and creativity, we can actually enhance not just mathematical processing, but overall ingenuity and problem-solving skills.

Work Experience at PDMS
The team at PDMS are always looking for opportunities to support our local communities in the Isle of Man and Scotland.
Find opportunities to build knowledge and experience
PDMS regularly supports local Isle of Man schools by providing work experience placements for their students. It gives them the opportunity to experience the world of work before they decide what their next steps are, and it may be the first chance they have been given to find out about work outside of school.
Such placements help students to learn about different occupations, develop personal skills such as confidence, communication and independence and push them to think about what kind of career path they may wish to choose. It's also an opportunity for us as employers to gain perspectives from younger people and develop our mentoring skills.
This summer, one of our work placement students was Oscar. He spent a week in our Marketing Department and undertook a variety of projects such as marketing research, creative writing and gaining telephone skills.
If you have a vacancy for student work placements, remember that you can upload them for free to our platform, the Isle of Man's careers portal www.employed.im.

I have really enjoyed working on this apron and as I said before I am going to miss her! She is going to be a fine kitchen companion to some lucky apronista! She is pretty close to what will eventually be "My Favorite Apron". She's made of cotton duck and with criss cross straps that go thru loops before tying in the back, she will not fall off your shoulders! I find that a real drawback with some aprons I own.
Isn't she cute? And she fits very nicely. Now…I have to show you what my very dear friend Connie brought me last time she came for supper. How adorable is this rolling pin!? And yeah…that's cupcakes! Such a sweet sweet gift!

Class Action Plaintiff not Entitled to Attorney Fee Award under 42 U.S.C. § 1988 Following District Court Dismissal of Class Action as Moot because Plaintiff was not "Prevailing Party" within the Meaning of Supreme Court Authority Seventh Circuit Holds
Plaintiff filed a putative class action against Calumet City, Illinois, alleging that she suffered damage because the enforcement of a local ordinance interfered with her ability to sell real property that she owned in the City; the class action complaint alleged that "the ordinance violated her right to procedural due process and unreasonably restrained the alienability of her property." Walker v. Calumet City, Illinois, 565 F.3d 1031, 1032 (7th Cir. 2009). Specifically, the class action complaint challenged the City's Point of Sale (POS) ordinance, which provides that real property within the city limits "cannot be sold until it is inspected and deemed in compliance with city codes, a fee is paid, and transfer stamps are issued." Id. In the normal course of events, while the class action complaint was pending, plaintiff's property was inspected under the City's Rental Dwelling Inspection (RDI) ordinance, which requires annual inspections of rental properties to ensure compliance with city health, zoning and building codes. Id., at 1033. The inspection of plaintiff's property revealed "multiple areas…where repair was necessary"; plaintiff completed the required repairs, and the City "pronounced her property compliant with the City's building and zoning codes." Id. Defense attorneys then moved to dismiss the class action as moot because, since plaintiff's property passed the RDI, "an inspection under the POS ordinance to check for the same violations would be redundant." Id. Over plaintiff's objection, the district court dismissed the class action as moot based on the City's representations that it would not enforce the POS ordinance against plaintiff, id., at 1032, 1033. Plaintiff then moved for an award of attorney fees, arguing that she was the "prevailing party" 42 U.S.C. § 1988; defense attorneys countered that the class action had been dismissed as moot "prior to any judicial determination on the merits." Id., at 1033. The district court agreed with plaintiff and awarded her $189,000 in attorney fees, id. The Seventh Circuit reversed.
The Circuit Court did not find this to be a difficult case because, while the "catalyst rule" for evaluating attorney fee awards had been used in the Seventh Circuit prior to 2001, the Supreme Court rejected that rule in Buckhannon Board & Care Home, Inc. v. West Virginia Department of Health & Human Resources, 532 U.S. 598 (2001), holding at page 606 that a party was not a prevailing party unless there was a "material alteration in the legal relationship of the parties." Walker, at 1033-34 (citations omitted). This "alteration" in the relationship of the parties "must arise from a court order." Id., at 1034 (citation omitted). The Seventh Circuit explained at page 1034, "In Buckhannon, the Supreme Court gave two examples of when a party should be considered prevailing: first, when 'the plaintiff has received a judgment on the merits'; second, when the plaintiff has 'obtained a court-ordered consent decree.' [Citation.] In general, we have stated that '[i]t could not be clearer that a voluntary settlement by the defendant … does not entitle a plaintiff to attorneys' fees.' [Citation.]"
Here, the dismissal order clearly revealed that the class action was dismissed as moot without a finding as to the validity of the claims asserted in the class action complaint. Walker, at 1034. The case does not fit into the first Buckhannon category because plaintiff did not obtain a judgment on the merits, and the case does not fit into the second Buckhannon category because plaintiff did not obtain a consent decree. Id. Nor does the case qualify for the possible exception applicable in the case of certain settlement agreements, because "this case does not involve a settlement at all." Id., at 1035. Put simply, the City simply agreed not to enforce the POS against plaintiff because the requirements of the POS, as they concerned plaintiff's property, "had already been met," id., at 1036. The Seventh Circuit concluded, therefore, that plaintiff was not a prevailing party and, accordingly, reversed the district court order awarding her attorney fees, id., at 1037.
NOTE: The Seventh Circuit summarized the three claims for relief in plaintiff's class action complaint at page 1033 as follows: "First, she alleged that the POS ordinance unreasonably restrained the alienability of her property. Second, she claimed that the POS ordinance failed to accord her procedural due process. Third, Walker alleged that she was deprived of her ability to sell her property by the application of the POS ordinance to 'legal non-conforming property,' i.e., property that does not comply with the relevant zoning but is nonetheless deemed legal. Specifically, Walker claimed that the City refused to grant rebuild permits for non-conforming property and that such permits were necessary before lenders would extend money to potential buyers. Additionally, Walker sought to certify a class action on behalf of all property owners in the City."

Examples of farce comedies include "The Comedy of Errors" by William Shakespeare and "What the Butler Saw" by Joe Orton. The comedic farce is an entertainment genre that generally relies on a plot filled with improbable coincidences and events centered around larger-than-life characters.
Farces tend to be highly energetic, with physical comedy mixed in the plot lines. Mistaken identities and misunderstandings provide much of the humor in farce comedies.
Farce comedies have been presented throughout history, extending to antiquity with plays such as "Menander's Dyskolos" (The Grouch) and "Plautus' Aulularia" (The Pot of Gold). Modern examples include the movie "The Hangover," the television shows "Arrested Development" and "American Dad," and the play "Romance" by David Mamet.
Farce comedy is used in entertainment throughout the world. In Japan, farce plays known as Kyōgen have existed for centuries, being presented as comic relief in longer, more serious Noh plays. In addition to Shakespeare, many British writers have continued a long tradition of farce comedies, including John Cleese of Monty Python fame with his television show "Fawlty Towers," along with Stephen Moffett's "Coupling." France also has a long history with farce comedy, dating back to the 13th century play "The Boy and the Blind Man."

Operating within the canon with the established Star Wars universe is much more difficult than you could consider. Not surprisingly, points were simplified when Disney purchased cheap SWTOR Credits Lucasfilm and stated all of the Star Wars Extended Universe was no longer canon. But even so, the content material creators of novels and comics inside the galaxy far, far away must seek the advice of together with the "grand pubas" from the Lucasfilm story group just before they ever put pen to paper.
To talk about this course of action, Star Wars writers John Jackson Miller (Canto Bight novel), Delilah Dawson (Captain Phasma novel), and Chuck Wendig (Star Wars: Aftermath) stopped by our reside stage at Emerald City Comic Con.
Miller, who began his Star Wars career together with the Knights of the Old Republic comic series, mentioned he thinks of working within this universe as functioning in "a national park" due to the fact every person desires to buy SWTOR Credits create their mark on such a mythos, but you also need to ensure you kind of discovered it the way you left it.
"I assume by far the most significant factor will be to leave the universe in its upright and locked position afterward and not leave a bunch of stuff stuffed into the back on the seat backs for other men and women to possess to clean up,"Miller said. "The particular person that you just build a story challenge for may even be yourself."
As for Delilah, her aim is to leave as quite a few "animals and artifacts" in the planet of Star Wars as she can. "I will invent all sorts of items … I wanna import blue mooses," she mentioned. "I wanna litter [the Star Wars universe] with great issues," she completed, adding her desperate want that she'd believed of Porgs.
Wendig rounded out the discussion by stating that the higher-ups who oversee these books aren't just money-grubbing corportate executives, but die-hard fans who desire to see the top story feasible as well.

Renoir, Impressionism, and Full-Length Painting
February 7 through May 13, 2012
Pierre-Auguste Renoir is born on 25 February in Limoges, the sixth of seven children. His father, Léonard Renoir, is a tailor, and his mother, Marguerite Merlet, a dressmaker.
The Renoirs move to Paris; Renoir attends a primary school run by the Frères des Écoles chrétiennes.
Renoir is apprenticed to a porcelain painter. He takes drawing lessons at the École gratuite de dessin, a free drawing school that also provides instruction in the decorative arts.
Renoir works briefly as a decorator for a manufacturer of blinds, specializing in imitations of stained glass windows for churches.
He registers with the established Salon painter and teacher Charles Gleyre, whose private atelier prepares students for entry in the École des Beaux-Arts, the state-sponsored art school. At Gleyre's atelier his fellow students include Claude Monet, Frédéric Bazille, Alfred Sisley, and James McNeill Whistler.
Renoir receives permission to study at the Louvre and the Print Room of the Bibliothèque Nationale.
Renoir is admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts and participates in the school's drawing examinations. He places twenty-eighth in a class of eighty in October 1863, and tenth out of 106 candidates in April 1864.
In March 1863, he submits his first work to the Salon, held every year at the Palais de l'Industrie on the Champs-Élysées. His large horizontal painting Nymph and Faun is rejected; Renoir destroys the canvas.
May–June 1864, Renoir's Esmeralda—a large horizontal painting showing Victor Hugo's heroine dancing in front of Notre-Dame Cathedral—is
accepted by the Salon.
Two pictures are accepted at the Salon.
In April Renoir submits a full-length painting of two female bathers in a landscape and a smaller work to the Salon. The large Bathers is rejected, but the jury accepts the lesser submission, which Renoir then withdraws.
Diana the Huntress National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
Renoir's full-length Diana the Huntress, modeled for by his mistress, Lise Tréhot, is rejected by the Salon jury in March 1867.
Lise with a Parasol Folkwang Museum, Essen
The artist exhibits the full-length Lise with a Parasol at the Salon of 1868. It is well reviewed and caricatured in the press; Renoir waits five years before being able to sell it.
He works during the summer with Monet at La Grenouillère, a bathing and boating establishment outside Paris. Their experiments in capturing the fleeting effects of water and sunlight in an abbreviated, highly colored style initiate the new pictorial language of Impressionism.
Bather with a Griffon Museu de Arte de São Paolo Assis Chateaubriand
In May Renoir exhibits two large canvases at the Salon: Bather with a Griffon and Woman of Algiers (National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.).
Lise Tréhot gives birth to their daughter, Jeanne Marguerite (1870–1934), with whom Renoir will
establish contact only after 1892.
Following France's declaration of war against Prussia in July 1870, Renoir is mobilized in the Tenth Cavalry Regiment. He returns to Paris in April 1871.
Riding in the Bois de Boulogne Kunsthalle, Hamburg
Renoir's large Parisian Women in Algerian Dress — the last picture for which Tréhot models — is rejected by the Salon jury. With Manet, Pissarro, and Cézanne, he signs a petition to Charles Blanc, Directeur des Beaux-Arts, demanding a Salon des refusés.
During the winter of 1872–73, Renoir is at work on Riding in the Bois de Boulogne, a monumental scene of Parisian high life, measuring 260 by 220 centimeters. It is the largest work he will ever paint.
After the rejection of Riding in the Bois de Boulogne by the Salon jury, Renoir exhibits it at the Salon des refusés held in May–June in a makeshift pavilion opposite the Palais de l'Industrie.
In the summer and autumn Renoir regularly visits Monet and his family in their home at Argenteuil; the painters work together outdoors on shared motifs.
Renoir is among the founding members of the Société Anonyme des Artistes. Between 15 April and 15 May the group mounts its first exhibition in the former studio of the photographer Nadar. Renoir sends six paintings to this inaugural Impressionist exhibition and is also responsible for its installation. His two largest submissions — The Dancer and La Parisienne — are on display in the East Gallery.
On 24 March Renoir participates in a group auction of recent Impressionist paintings at the Hôtel Drouot; twenty of his works sell for just over 2,000 francs.
Ball at the Moulin de la Galette Musée d'Orsay, Paris
Renoir submits seventeen paintings to the Second Impressionist Exhibition. La Promenade, painted during the winter of 1875–76, is his most ambitious work and forms the centerpiece of his installation.
Between May and October, Renoir rents a house and garden in Montmartre, where he works on the large horizontal composition, Ball at the Moulin de la Galette, which will form the centerpiece of his submission to the Third Impressionist Exhibition the following spring.
Renoir organizes a second Impressionist auction at the Hôtel Drouot on 28 May; fifteen of his paintings and a pastel sell for just over 2,000 francs.
Renoir begins to attract the support of wealthy patrons such as the publisher Georges Charpentier and his wife, Marguerite Charpentier, and the Protestant banker Paul Berard; their portrait commissions will eventually transform his economic situation.
He withdraws from the Impressionist exhibition that had been planned to coincide with the Exposition Universelle in May 1878 and instead sends to the Salon the modestly sized Le Café (private collection).
In October Renoir completes two large paintings intended for the next year's Salon: Madame Charpentier and Her Children and The Portrait of Jeanne Samary.
Mussel Fishers at Berneval The Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia
Thanks to the influence of his patron, Renoir's portrait of Madame Charpentier and Her Children is hung in a place of honor at the Salon of 1879 and well reviewed by the critics; his Portrait of Jeanne Samary is hung high and receives hardly any attention in the press.
In August and September, Renoir stays at the Berards' country house at Wargemont on the Normandy coast. He works on the full-length Mussel Fishers at Berneval.
Renoir does not participate in the Fifth Impressionist Exhibition and instead sends Mussel Fishers at Berneval and Girl with a Cat to the Salon in May. Renoir and Monet write a letter of protest to minister Edmond Turquet, petitioning him to assign separate gallery space to the Impressionists the following year. (They receive no response.)
Renoir will no longer send full-length paintings to the Salon.
In June and July he returns to Wargemont; later that summer, he stays with the Fournaise family at their restaurant on the Île de Chatou, a suburb of Paris. There he begins work on his multifigured Luncheon of the Boating Party , which he will complete in his Paris studio in January 1881.
In February the dealer Durand-Ruel establishes exclusive agreements with several of the Impressionists, providing them with a measure of financial security. He acquires Luncheon of the Boating Party for 6,000 francs. In defiance of Durand-Ruel, however, Renoir continues to boycott the Impressionist group exhibitions and to send portraits to the Salon.
Renoir is able to travel abroad for the first time and visits Algeria in the spring and Italy in the autumn.
Much to Renoir's consternation, Durand-Ruel includes twenty-five of his paintings in the Seventh Impressionist Exhibition in March.
Having reconciled with Durand-Ruel, Renoir spends the month of August in Dieppe with him and his family, painting a series of portraits of the dealer's five teenage children.
Between January and March Renoir works intensively in his Parisian studio on the three Dance panels—Dance in the City, Dance in the Country, and Dance at Bougival. The first two pictures are included in Durand-Ruel's midcareer retrospective of Renoir's work, which opens on 31 March. Dance at Bougival, the last to be completed, will be sent to London for an exhibition of Impressionist paintings organized by Durand-Ruel at the Bond Street Galleries of Dowdeswell and Dowdeswell.
In May Durand-Ruel faces bankruptcy as a result of the collapse of the Union Générale bank. Renoir envisages a new painters' association whose aesthetics are based on the principles of "Irregularism."
In the summer, Durand-Ruel accepts an invitation from James F. Sutton—son-in-law of the founder of Macy's department store—to exhibit 290 paintings and pastels in New York. He approaches Renoir, Monet, and Pissarro, each of whom offer their support.
In the autumn, Renoir works again on the full-length painting The Umbrellas, which he had started four years earlier but never completed. The painting is probably finished by the end of the year.
The Umbrellas is included among the thirty-eight paintings and pastels by Renoir that appear in the exhibition Works in Oil and Pastel by the Impressionists of Paris, held between 18 April and 30 June in two venues in New York: the American Art Galleries and the National Academy of Design. It is listed in the catalogue as "Rain in Paris." The painting was donated to The National Gallery, London, in 1917; this is only its second visit to the United States.
Principal funding for the exhibition is provided by The Florence Gould Foundation and Michel David-Weill.
Additional support is generously provided by The Philip and Janice Levin Foundation, The Grand Marnier Foundation, and the Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.
Corporate support is provided by Fiduciary Trust Company International.
The exhibition is also supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.

Blog Series: Returning Home and Marriage
Hi! Here's a link to the previous posts in this series:
Returning Home and Family and Returning Home and My Peeps.
Next up...
Reconnecting with My Husband Keith
I saved the most intricate for last. What happens in a marriage when you go from traveling on motorcycles to living in one house and working? It's a bit like riding on a pot-hole infested road, trying mightily to avoid hitting one!
A few months in, we exploded and faced what had been happening to us. You know the story of the frog in the boiling pot? That's how it felt. Slowly, probably since our last month in South America, we had been sliding back into our old pre-travel habit of living parallel lives.
Internally, we were coping with our separate experiences of homecoming and there was a gigantic difference at the core. Keith longed to continue traveling while I was elated to be home. We had been inextricably tied to each other while we traveled. We had to agree on darn near everything we did — where we slept, where we ate, where we traveled. Once we hit US soil, that ever-present knot that connected us began to loosen. On one hand, it was awesome to have my freedom again! On the other hand, our relationship started eroding and we didn't pay attention to it, until frustrations with coming home, and with each other, overtook us. We both exploded.
Let's fast-forward past the explosion, to what we learned as a result of it. From my perspective, we realized that we weren't having those deep, interesting conversations anymore. Almost all we talked about were the items on the eternal list of to do's. We didn't share our fears of restarting our income flow, figuring out where we were going to live, feeling like we didn't belong anywhere, and not in any way, shape, or form wanting to be mooches as we stayed with friends and family for (what ended up being) four months.
We separately did our best to cope with it all. I relied on girlfriends, wine, yoga, walking. He relied on going for motorcycle rides and getting out among people. I started my new business. He went back to work, in a different job, for the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. I wanted our home to be beautiful and clean. He wanted his garage in order.
Here's where we came together. We agreed that we wanted to do better. We wanted to reconnect with each other more in the way we did on the road. We had had a taste of it. We knew what it felt like to have a truly intimate connection. We're starting with making time for real conversations, opening ourselves to new ideas of what we enjoy doing together, with touching each other more, with real kisses. It's the beginning of accepting more change in our lives.
Before we returned home, we knew our travels had changed us. What we didn't know is that we couldn't possibly understand how travel had changed us until we started living at home rather than on the road. It stands to reason that since we changed individually, our marriage would change. We're learning, we're committed, and after eight months back in the U.S., we're still exploring ourselves with love.
Conclusion for All My Relationship Reconnecting Posts
Inner Change = Outer Change
When we change, all of our relationships change. It's inevitable if we're being true to ourselves. Coming back from an epic adventure makes the changes more apparent than in a normal time of life.
I wonder, what would it look like to once in a while press pause and look through a different lens at the important relationships in our lives? We could ask ourselves, how have our relationships changed over time in the "frog in a boiling pot" kind of way? How are we showing up as our true selves in our relationships?
In the spirit of learning,
P.S. If you're making some changes in your life, consider hiring me as your coach to support you! Plus, if you're curious, learn about our motorcycle adventure at SouthonaBike.com.

Do These People Have Children?
Once again the magicians over at the National Assembly have decided that sexual abuse against children 11 and under is a crime and is punishable by law. So wait what is a 12 year old? An adult? I don't know of any 12 year old men or women, do you?
Sometimes the only way to put supidity or ignorance in context is for it to be applicable to those demonstrating it. Maybe if these people's children aren't so well protected they wouldn't be making such stupid laws despite their over bloated salaries. They earn so much only to turn around and feed us with garbage laws. So if their 12 year olds are put in the same situation will they feel the same way?
There needs to be a psychological exam for all candidates who choose to run for elected office. There is no benefit to marrying a 12 year old child, neither is there any merit to an uneducated female or male child. Nigeria as a country is so far behind the world it is despicable. The people who ought to protect the voiceless are the same ones violating them by passing laws that benefit only paedophiles. I dont care what your religion or culture says, a 12 year old is still a child. One that needs guidance and direction on how to become a productive adult, and not a sexual object. We need to make our voices loud enough so that these sick people stop representing us as a country.
Please share your reaction on when you heard about this new law. Keep in mind they passed 46 bills in 10 minutes. Awon Onirase.

I know what you're all thinking......Who is Megan Markle wearing today?.....for those who don't know who Megan Markle is, 1/ - I envy you; and 2/- She's the idiot who's marrying Prince Harry (I give it twenty years of a slow slide into another royal divorce).
Yes I was unfortunate enough to sit down to eat my sandwich and watch a bit of TV when I was confronted by the wall-to-wall coverage of the Sycophantic Circus that is thee Royal wedding......watch out for some dodgy policy announcements from the government hidden behind the smoke screen of designer babble and petty celebrity cameo's.
I scrambled for my royal approved Douche-Bag to deport my sandwich into as, between wretches, the commentators brown nosed the sickening smattering of desperate celebrities mingling in amongst the 'Elite'.This just about summed up the incandescent irrelevance of this laughable Illuminati party.
I noticed some black guests strolling up towards Windsor castle past some policemen who would normally have stopped them and planted something illegal on the male ones......but, No, not today.We're told we're all equal now because Megan's got a black mummy.
It doesn't end there, because apart from James fucking Blunt,Idris Elba(some actor bloke) was spotted hob-nobbing with the hoi polloi, and future president of the useless.S.of A, Oprah Winfry is videoed at length, not because she is black, but because she's an invited guest?????; chit chatting in the chapel with Earl Spencer......she's made it into the white elite at last?!
No doubt that Gil Scott Heron would call all these brothers and sisters 'Uncle Toms',and they are......I may be sounding like the latest trendy racial term, 'White Gammon', but white people need an 'Uncle Tom' slur equivalent for the token underclass representatives that have been ordered to attend so we forget about the wealth that these royal bloodsuckers have stolen in the past.Give us our castles and gold back.Windsor castle has plenty of spare rooms for homeless people,and I guess the Windsors/Saxe-Coburgs, have been exempted from the infamous 'Spare Room Tax' that has plunged the underclass deeper into debt slavery.
Having dissed the Royals somewhat,it's worth mentioning that Prince Harry has,luckily for him, very little 'Royal Blood', as his father was obviously James Hewitt.Genetically he is more, or, less one of 'Us', which explains why he seem relatively 'normal'.
|James Hewitt Harry Saxe-Coburg
I wager they're even watching this debacle in Gaza.....which reminds me what this post was originally about......Eyeless In Gaza.....
Eyeless In Gaza recorded dustbins full of stuff,and it all seems to have been of a similarly high quality. So naturally, in these days of releasing every fart a band made in or out of the recording studio, here's the obligatory studio out-takes, demo's and live album released 30 years after the fact. Its a rather splendid document of a very fine and prolific duo.The savage guitar attack on the live disc being particularly impressive.Up there for shear speed with the guitarists from The Wedding Present and the Nightingales.
(Yeah I know there was a third ,and irrelevant disc of solo Martyn Bates in the '90's',but who wants to be reminded of their 90's-selves?......i don't, thank you very much!...so i've only uploaded the good stuff,cheap/free storage space is precious.....there's an extras disc as well,but its not too essential)

The age of Big Data has finally dawned on the government sector. There has been an exponential increase in the amount of data captured & stored within the storage systems at the federal government since 2000. According to projections, this number will increase with each year. The effectiveness of the government is being continuously challenged with the rise in data being stored, shrinking budgets and consolidation of the data centers. At this point, the government needs to employ new and better skills to manage, and analyze the huge amount of data.
Big data analytics has not only become the need of the hour, but also offers a wide range of opportunities to the government. The large amounts of unstructured data being captured needs to be analyzed to harness the underlying opportunities, and respond better and effectively. Of course, the flip side is that big data can eat up into your budgets if it is not managed properly. The federal government is currently striving hard to achieve success with big data projects, which span from defense, intelligence & civilian agencies to supply chain logistics & mission readiness agencies. The challenges affecting the federal government with regards to big data include value of big data, the variety of sources, velocity of analytics and the velocity of data required for analytics.
Advantage of Managing Big Data Analytics
There are many advantages associated with managing big data analytics successfully. Here, we will discuss how big data has helped improve efficiency within the governments.
- Improving overall efficiency: With big data analytics, governments can make informed decisions real-time, which will help improve the overall efficiency effectively
- Speed of Decision Making: Big Data has helped improve the speed of decision making, thus helping agencies act faster and better
- Forecasting: Proper analysis of the information available will help you understand the future, and be prepared with the right strategies
- Citizen Needs: Analysis of available data will help understand the citizen needs perfectly, and help agencies strategize accordingly
- Transparency: With accurate data, transparency comes easy within and outside the government agencies
Best Practices
Best practices help IT strategists help in strategizing big data analytics using standard practices and principles to achieve success. Here, we will disucss a few best practices that government agencies should adopt when indulging in Big Data analytics.
- Identify Business Problem: This works similar to applying big data in big agencies. You need to identify the business problem that is affecting the efficiency within the government agencies. This could be cyber attacks or eliminating frauds etc. Once the problem is clear, the solution comes automatically
- Long Term Objectives: It is important to strategize based on long-term objectives. Government agencies tend to base their strategies on low-cost, quickreturn initiatives that come with economic uncertainties
- Open Source: This is gaining popularity among government initiatives as they get the community backing, which helps them improve emphatically
- Visualization: This will help IT departments and agency stakeholders understand the reality of the data and the different spreadsheets better, to make informed decisions and forecast better
- Inter-agency Collaboration: This will improve the results on a tight budget. It help collaboration of both data and insights to know the reality better, and strategize accordingly
Big Data analytics helps boost the governance strategies majorly. It will bring significant transperancy within the system and help further citizen centric services.
Silver Touch has significant expertise in offering eGovernance it solutions that will uplift citizen centric services and offer transparency to the citizens. Get in touch with us at email@example.com to know more about our offerings.

I just got my copy today and am only a few chapters in, but want to comment on Han Solo making the Kessel Run "in under 12 parsecs".
In one of the books, I think it was the first book of the Jedi Academy trilogy, they reveal some details of the Kessel run. I am going to do my best to remember what it is, but it has been a long time since I read it so there may be other readers here who correct/clarify the story.
There story goes that there is a black hole cluster that you must navigate to get to Kessel (okay, I am sure the stabilty of a planet in a black hole cluster where they are spaced close enough to make it difficult to navigate is a whole other story!) Han was running spice and dumped it as he was about to be boarded. He went back to pick it up and the imperials followed him. He cut it darn close to the black holes, the imperials fell in and he blasted free into hyperspace.
The idea is that if you keep a safe distance from the black holes, the distance you must navigate through the cluster is substantially longer than 12 parsecs. So making the Kessel run in 12 parsecs means you ran through there without getting sucked into a black hole, taking a shortcut.
I seem to remember Han knew he was pretty darn lucky even though he bragged about it.
So, that is the story. I saw Phil's page on it and agree that is sounds like a fix of a astronomy boo boo.
As for them using a unit based on Earth's orbit, any planet can use that mesaure...with Jupiter's larger orbit, a parsec as measured by someone near Jupiter, using the same def, would be the same as a parsec from Earth.
The real question is why are they also using seconds as a measure of angle?
Okay, I am rambling now so I will stop [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

James Hansen, formerly NASA's Climate Chief -- just released a terrifying paper that predicts unavoidable sea level rise unless we take major, immediate action. Join us and tell your California Legislators to drastically increase our investment in renewable energy, dramatically reduce car emissions, and make huge increases in energy efficiency!
Courage Campaign fights to hold our political leaders and most powerful corporations accountable to the will of the people.
SIGN THE PETITION: Support racial justice in CA
California has one of the poorest racial and identity profiling laws in the country. And right now, a landmark bill is working its way through Sacramento that could fundamentally fix the broken law and reduce the epidemic of profiling and police brutality that has been threatening the lives and liberty of far too many people of color and minorities in California. AB 953 (by Assemblymember Shirley Weber) will help eliminate the harmful and unjust practice of racial and identity profiling in CA, and improve law enforcement transparency and accountability.
SIGN ON to support #Health4All!
A majority of Californians support expanding Medi-Cal and Covered California to include all low-income Californians, regardless of their immigration status. Why? Because providing EVERYONE access to affordable, quality health coverage is not only the right thing to do, it is also cost-effective, and good for the economy and the health of our state.
Join Moby to tell Gov. Brown: Stop Corporate Agribusinesses from tapping out CAs precious water!
Corporate agribusinesses are growing more and more water-intensive crops and guzzling down California's precious water supply. It's taken centuries to build up California's groundwater reserves, and if we draw it down, we won't be able to get it back. Join Moby, Courage Campaign, and Food & Water Watch to ask Governor Jerry Brown to realign California's water rights now!
Tell Gov. Brown and CA lawmakers: Support immigrant families with One California
California has an opportunity to emerge as a national leader on immigration, help contribute up to $27.5 billion dollars to the state's economy, and lift over 40,000 children out of poverty through One California. One California is a $20 million proposal that helps provide education, outreach, and support to immigrants in CA who are eligible for citizenship or relief from deportation.
SIGN THE PLEDGE: Dont buy Nestlé bottled water
Despite delivering over 515,00 petition signatures (including 175,000 from Courage Campaign members) and national headline-making protests at bottling plants in Sacramento and Los Angeles, Nestlé has shown ZERO interest in stopping their egregious bottling operations in California. And now we're going to hit them where it counts -- their financial bottom line. Join us!
Demand that Wal-Mart stop bottling water from drought-stricken CA!
While Californians are doing their part to reduce their water consumption, Wal-Mart is out there making a huge profit off of the little water the state has left. With a recent report showing that California only has enough water to last the state one more year, it is time for corporations to stop bottling its water before it's too late.
Tell CA Gov. Brown: Stop Big Oil from poisoning our crops with toxic wastewater
The Los Angeles Times just exposed that California farmers are using oil-contaminated wastewater to grow a portion of our nation's crops. And the oil industry is making MILLIONS of dollars in profits in return. Meanwhile, the American public has been eating potentially toxic crops. We have to stop this NOW before it's too late!
Demand that Nestlé stop bottling CAs water during drought!
California is facing a drought of historic proportions and while individuals are being forced to reduce their water usage, Nestlé is bottling the scarce resource straight from the heart of California's drought and selling it for profit. With a recent report showing that California only has enough water to last the state one more year, we must put an end to this madness at Nestlé before it's too late. Join us!
EMERGENCY PETITION: Tell Gov. Brown to halt fracking in CA NOW!
New reports show that Gov. Brown's appointed regulators have been allowing the oil industry to inject TOXIC wastewater into CA's fragile water supply. In response, Courage Campaign and over 150 organizations filed a legal petition with the state to demand an immediate halt on fracking, which requires Governor Brown's response by March 26th. Join us and become a co-signer of our emergency legal petition to the governor!

Crime - Sacto 911
Mountain lion spotted in Roseville
A mountain lion has been spotted in an area along Interstate 80 in Roseville.
Roseville police said that several people have reported seeing a mountain lion in the vicinity of Miner's Ravine, an urbanized area with creeks and trails, and the Olympus Pointe neighborhood.
Residents are advised to follow state Department of Fish and Wildlife tips to not run from a mountain lion and don't turn your back on the animal. Instead, make eye contact with the mountain lion and stand tall.
Also, arm-waving and rock-throwing can convince a mountain lion to move on. If attacked, fight back, experts say.

- IRB Members
- Researchers External to Alverno
- Reviewers
- Role, Authority, Actions, and Jurisdiction
JoAnn McGrath School of Nursing and Health Professions Research Review Committee (SON-RRC)
The JoAnn McGrath School of Nursing and Health Professions (SON) requires that students complete a Practice-based Inquiry Project (PBIP) in
educational and/or clinical settings in partial fulfillment of the requirements for
graduation from the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program. The Getting Started page for student researchers describes important requirements for completing the
appropriate forms if the PBIP has been determined to have a research component.
SON graduate students work under the supervision of their faculty capstone mentor in the development of their proposal, which generally will involve activities not likely to be research. During the development, the faculty capstone mentor will evaluate the proposal for a research component using the SON-RRC Determination of Research Screening Checklist (SON Screening Checklist).
If the proposal is determined to have a research component, the graduate student will complete the appropriate forms on the Getting Started page for student researchers. Both the PBIP proposal and the student's completed IRB forms will be independently reviewed by the SON-RRC Chair.
If a research component has been identified in the proposal, a School of Nursing graduate student's data collection for a PBIP cannot begin without both:
- Completing an appropriate IRB approval process (exempt, expedited, or full-review).
- If it can be anticipated that a PBIB will not easily fit an exemption category and review process, plan ahead because (a) an expedited review requires assignment of IRB members as reviewers and (b) a full-review must accommodate the schedule of IRB meetings
- And, receiving appropriate documentation of approval, which
- For determination of exemption, is the signature of the reviewer on the General Request for Exemption Determination form.
- And for an expedited or full-review, is a letter of approval from the Alverno IRB Chair that indicates how long data collection may proceed before re-approval would be necessary
The MSN student should also be aware of approvals they may need from the site where their PBIP will be conducted
- To conduct research in institutions other than Alverno, the student must adhere to IRB procedures required in these settings and seek appropriate approval prior to beginning their PBIP.

The Headache dissemble Embodied Projects Today
Resource Management
Right project teams are trumped-up up of scholarship team who are categorized by skill types or job functions. For standard, a project side might require business analysts, developers, crew leads, project managers, architects, or database analysts. Adjustment the moral person to assign to a project or occupation contract equate the most tough botheration confronting the symmetry. Typically, sort staff is cherished and consequently heavily sought by competing projects. Off-track resource management processes, the structuring struggles cloak portion of its staff across projects.
Project Management
Spell addition, project managers are pledged for keeping scope, issue, and schedules on track. How obligation project managers seal this when they don't notice how uncounted hours incarnate takes to accomplish a occupation, or how profuse hours keep at control the project? Hidden an persuasive system network corner, project managers must constantly intrude on team members to move estimates. Extra, the management party is always request for position reports and accurate propaganda on projects for that they pledge put together critical decisions. Of course, the project gaffer is always the last to comprehend when one of his or her criticalresources has been magically " re - assigned " to deeper steep formation project! Fame the words of a famous song, populous project managers are " stitched up, out of their marbles, feeling strung out, unready slow, trapped pressure, can't do a existence seeing they're locked down….

From an executive perspective, solid is impossible to produce serviceable decisions when one does not know what nation are working on or how the projects are intimacy. Additionally, if planned projects transact not posses priority for critical, scarceresources, undoubted will effect stress for the composition for a full.
Crowded organizations feel that irrefutable is enough to alley project progress on a scale outright basis. Unfortunately, this is not consistent shadow down pat methodologies, which midpoint always suggest that the alone accurate measure of progress is tracking job tension ( i. e., stretch ).

Regulatory Status Legend
The GAME-46 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD18. CD18 is the common β2 integrin chain of LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18, αLβ2 integrin), Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18, αMβ2 integrin), and gp150, 95 (CD11c/CD18, αXβ2 integrin). Expression of CD18 is limited to leucocytes, where it is widely distributed in consort with each of the three integrin α chains (CD11a, CD11b, and CD11c). Among splenocytes, NK cells have the highest density of CD18, and T lymphocytes express a higher density than the remaining cells. The β2 integrins are important mediators of leukocyte-endothelium interactions. It has been reported that GAME-46 antibody blocks in vitro adhesion of LFA-1-expressing cells to the ligands ICAM-1, ICAM-2 and ICAM-3 and of Mac-1-expressing cells to ICAM-1, C3bi, and fibrinogen.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BUV805 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet family of dyes. This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BUV395 with an Ex Max of 348 nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 805 nm. BD Horizon Brilliant BUV805 can be excited by the ultraviolet laser (355 nm) and detected with a 820/60 filter and a 770LP.
BUV805 is a tandem fluorochrome that combines BD Horizon BUV395 and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 805 nm. BUV805 has been exclusively developed by BD Biosciences for instruments equipped with a 355-nm UV laser.
