Today, I replaced some failing capacitors on an HP Photosmart C6180 printer. Four TEAPO electrolytic capacitors showed signs of failure. Three were 330 uF 10 V and one was 680 uF 6.3 V. The procedure took about an hour due to the through hole capacitors being more difficult to remove than anticipated.
The initial instructions I found to do this fix was on the web site www.fixyourownprinter.com in a 09/22/2010 posting by user dodo105: CLICK HERE Thanks to this Internet poster for providing the repair information.
Tools one needs are Torex screw driver (I used a Craftsman T8 x 2 1/2), long nose pliers to grip capacitors, wire cutters to clip capacitor leads, camera to photograph original part placements, soldering iron, thin line solder, desoldering tool, and scissors to remove new capacitor packaging..
First step was opening the printer lid and taking off the side panel of the printer. Three torex screws needed to be removed as seen in the next two photographs. Inspect plastic pieces for clips to unlatch as well on the top, bottom, and sides of printer.
Three plastic sections removed from printer.
I next removed five Torex screws keeping the circuit board in place. I also unlatched four wire harness connectors to allow the board to fold over better allowing easier access to capacitors.
Component side of circuit board now shown.
The arrows mark the capacitors to be replaced. I believe the locations were: C613, C614, C660, and C662.
This next picture shows the board after two capacitors have been replaced, one is removed and awaiting replacement. The desoldering process consisted of heating the two leads on solder side and removing as much solder possible. Next gripping the bad capacitor with the pliers on one side of the board and heating the connections on the other allowing it to be pulled off. Once the capacitor was off, heating the holes some more and using the desoldering sucker to remove excess solder.
When placing new capacitors remember the + and - polarity and properly placed them on the marked circuit board.
Once all the capacitors are replaced, the leads are trimmed and the soldering iron is used to touch up the connections.

Printer is turned on and test pages printed. It is then burned in overnight to make sure power is good.

Alexander Rossi owes a highly dubious second career win to his teammate and fellow Indy 500 winner Takuma "timing is everything" Sato, who committed the racing equivalent of hari kari at the Glen – twice. In NBCSN's booth, apparently Townsend Bell was under the influence of enough meds to nearly forget his name, which makes us wonder about his urine test for the next race.
For Daffy Leigh Diffey's triumphant return to IndyCar there was the ridiculous wet start that wasn't. That is to say, it wasn't wet and it wasn't much of a start. Thank goodness Tony Kanaan made it through the parade laps this time, though he would eventually find pit lane too difficult to navigate, hitting the wall at pit lane exit – right after the championship leader did the exact same thing.
Photo from indycar.com
The start saw Josef Newgarden surging, Scott Dixon dropping and Helio going way wide with no track restrictions in place. After the first lap pit stops for slicks a reshuffle had Helio around Rossi for the lead and Ryan Hunter-Reay up to fourth. Spencer Pigot spun completely around on lap 4 but managed to keep it going and even lead some laps before finishing 12th.
On lap 5 Dixon got around RHR prior to the first of three cautions, as Hinchcliff's gear box issue and a puff of smoke from his Honda ended his day. The race returned to green on lap nine and as usual Helio jumped the restart ahead of Rossi, Newgarden and Dixie. Dixon soon passed Newkid again and appeared to be on the way to another win at the Glen. However, it wasn't to be and Helio opened up a sizable lead.

Music and Academia: The Role of Colons in Titles
This post is written by Ben Farrer whose account is currently down. I'm starting to strongly dislike academic titles that take the form: "Metaphor For x: Actual Description Of x", or similar, and am venting my frustration with a game. As an example of the type I dislike, one of my own undergraduate essays was entitled: "Holding out for a Hero? The Roles of Lincoln and of Slaves in Emancipation". A poor effort on my part, but you get the picture. I've been guilty of using this template regularly myself, but I'm beginning to believe that it falls down on Continue reading Music and Academia: The Role of Colons in Titles

ADA, Okla. – Donald Gore only missed six days in the fourteen years he worked at Folger's Drive-In in Ada.
"I like to work and be on time," Gore said. "It's no fun to stay around the house and be bored."
Problems with increasing vision and hearing loss led Gore to seek help from Roy Alexander, a vocational rehabilitation counselor for the Chickasaw Nation.
Gore, who has Usher Syndrome, is a member of the Chickasaw Nation.
The genetic condition combines hearing loss with retinitis pigmentosa, resulting in progressive loss of side vision due to degeneration of the retina.
Usher syndrome is the most common condition that affects both hearing and vision loss.
Alexander introduced Gore to Gayle Lee, a vocational rehabilitation counselor for Visual Services, which is a division of the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services.
Alexander and Lee turned to a team of Visual Services experts to help Gore learn new skills and use technology to re-enter the workforce.
Lee contacted Visual Services' specialists on deaf-blindness Jeri Cooper and Stephanie Butler. Cooper, a rehabilitation teacher who is deaf-blind herself, travels the state to help clients with vision and hearing loss. Stephanie Butler became Gore's new vocational rehabilitation counselor due to her expertise in deaf-blindness.
Liz Scheffe helped him improve orientation and mobility skills so he could travel safely and efficiently in the community.
Sharon Shipe provided more rehabilitation teaching training to help Gore adjust to loss of vision and develop practical skills.Read More

Cellular Mechanotransduction
Force is ubiquitous in nature at all levels of organization. At the cellular scale, physical stimuli integrate with biochemical signals to orchestrate the precisely controlled pathways of proteins interaction that govern the fate of cells. A failure or modification of this subtle control mark the onset of numerous human disorders, particularly those that are highly sensitive to mechanical cues such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
Our research is focused on elucidating the mechanisms through which mechanical forces entwine with chemical signaling to regulate the behavior of cells and molecules in physiological conditions; and how these mechanisms are lost or altered in pathological scenarios. To this end, we use a combination of microscopy, nanotechnology, and cellular and molecular biology approaches.
Mechanosenstive molecules
One recent area of research in the field of mechanotransduction has been focused on mechanosensitive molecules: those molecules that undergo transformations to their structure when exposed to mechanical forces. These structural changes reveal previously-buried binding sites, which allows ligand binding and triggering of downstream signalling cascades. One such mechanosensitive molecule/ligand pairing that has been studied is talin/vinculin.
Talin binds to both actin and trans-membrane integrins, providing a mechanical bridge between the cellular cytoskeleton and the extracellular environment. When force is applied to talin (e.g. by actomyosin contraction), talin stretches to reveal additional vinculin binding sites. Vinculin occurs normally in an inactive state and the binding of vinculin to talin triggers its activated state. Activated vinculin then interacts with signalling molecules such as paxillin and FAK, which in turn can activate other signalling pathways related to cell cycle and apoptosis.
We believe this process of force-induced conformational change leading to signalling cascades through the interaction of ligands forms a possible template by which a variety of mechanotransduction pathways are activated.

Wednesday, August 10th: Poetry. Local legend Dave Thomas reads from his new book of poetry, Old Power Company Road: Selected Poems 1980-2013. 7pm.
"Dave Thomas wouldn't be the remarkable poet he is if it weren't for the care and direction, strength and vision of the person he is on foot. His acceptance of the human condition wherever he find it is unconditional. We owe him a depth of gratitude for the gifts his poems are of our lives and histories here in Montana and wherever his travels take him. He is a watershed poet of the heart, the bard of stroll, chronicler of all things descent and deserving of our attention. Read his poetry for all its worth and see for yourself." -John Holbrook, author of A Clear Blue Sky in Royal Oak
David E. Thomas grew up on the Hi-Line in North central Montana. He graduated from the University of Montana then found himself on the streets of San Francisco where he began his literary education. Economic realities drove him to work on railroad gangs, big construction projects like Libby Dam and other labor intensive jobs. He has traveled in the United States, Mexico, and Central America. He has published four books of poems, Fossil Fuel, Buck's Last Wreck, The Hellgate Wind, and Waterworks Hill. He has poems in the anthologies The Last Best Place and Poems Across the Big Sky and New Poets of the American West and has published poems in Romania, Blue Collar Review, Cedilla 6, 7, and 8, and many other small magazines. His essay "Gothic Days" appears in The Complete Montana Gothic edited by Peter Koch, which also features Thomas's earliest published work. Most recently he has published poems and an interview in Talking River and poems in San Pedro River Review. He currently lives in Missoula, Montana.

laws" if you prefer that term). Hence, it might not be able to use WMDs aside from the nuclear arsenal it was provided with upon activation. One setting which explores this idea in more detail is "Reign of Steel," a table-top RPG for the GRUPS ruleset. In a nutshell, it's the Terminator circa 2029, except with the focus pulled out from southern California to a global view. Depending on what part of the world you're in the robot conflict looks considerably different. Local administrative AIs are given a degree of latitude as to how to deal with humans. Some, such as the AI in charge of Mexico seek to destroy all organic life, while the AI in charge of England allows humans to live in a robot dominated police-state. Others still allow humans to live so long as they keep their ecological footprint to a minimum (i.e. hunter-gatherer societies). In essence it's a kitchen-sink for every robot apocalypse that has ever been created in entertainment media. You could if you wanted have the computer game Earthsiege, the movie "Oblivion," the anime OVA "Casshern: Robot Hunter" and the short story "Second Variety," more or less all on the same planet just separated by geography and (to a lesser extent) time.

Split between Criminal Origins and its direct sequel, Bloodshot, these two first-person action/horror games are a bit unique in that they are set in the modern era, but focus on melee combat. The player takes the role of Ethan Thomas, an FBI agent attached to a special serial crime unit. His assignment is to track down "Serial Killer X," a serial-killer killer operating out of the fictional rust-belt urban sprawl known simply as "Metro City." While investigating the scene of a murder, Ethan's sidearm gets swiped by the lurking Serial Killer X, who then proceeds to use the weapon to murder two police officers, thus framing Ethan for the crime...I guess...I mean didn't they check trigger for fingerprints? It's not like Serial Killer X wears gloves...that, and I'm not sure how Ethan is supposed to clear his name if it involves murdering a bunch of violent homeless people...
Glaring plot holes aside, Condemned does an excellent job of setting the mood. Whether it be a subway, library, museum, burned out doll factory *shivers* or huge cabin in the woods (b-b-b-bear?), players will spend the majority of the game poking around abandoned, rundown buildings, mostly at night, while fending off attacks by deranged squatters. It's never clearly explained in the first game why these individuals are so psychotic, the police dismiss them as being drug-crazed. However, there are some subtle hints early on that it isn't a simple narcotics induced crime wave. Dead birds turn up all over the city, and odd bits of metal can be found hidden everywhere.
During development, this game was entitled "The Dark," which is an apt name considering how many foreboding, poorly lit and claustrophobic environments there are in the game. It also featured a much stronger supernatural element. The player could even cast spells in the game that would open doors or steal a weapon out an opponent's hands. A tiny bit of this made it into the final product in that Ethan seems to be gifted with clairvoyance, or some similar psychic power. I kind of like how they ultimately chose to ground the setting though since, in my opinion, preserving the plausibility of the premise makes the experience a lot more terrifying. It's a pity the developers backtracked on this when in came to the sequel.
As I said before, the storyline was not one of Condemned's strong points, but what it did excel at was the gameplay. Guns are rare and have severally limited ammo, so the player has to depend a lot on improvised melee weapons such as fire axes, sledgehammers, crowbars, flat head shovels, chunks of rebar, locker doors, boards with nails in them and pretty much any other bludgeoning object you can possibly think of. The AI is no slouch either. Enemies will seek out ambush points, block and even feign attacks to throw the player off. Breaking up the action is an occasional forensics segment in which the player must locate clues regarding Serial Killer X in order to advance the story. It's fairly straightforward stuff since Ethan's lab partner, Rosa, does most of the analytical work, but it's a welcome addition nonetheless. The sound design is also great (an often neglected feature in video games). Here the incomprehensible ranting and raving of adversaries mixed with the sickening crunch of a lead pipe to the face add a lot to the already creepy atmosphere. What little music there is in the game is also a perfect fit for the setting.

From Alien to Familiar
Unsurprisingly, there have been a large number of direct adaptations of the Aliens franchise with wild variations in quality (even between platform ports). For example, the Amiga and Apple IIc version of Aliens are pretty different, as are the Sega Genesis and SNES versions of Alien 3. As far as good Aliens-themed games go, the general consensus seems to be Alien vs Predator 2, Alien: Isolation, and the original DOOM total conversion mod. I've also heard positive things about the Nintendo DS title Aliens: Infestation, but I haven't had a chance to play it myself.
Incidentally, during the pre-production of Alien 3, H.R. Giger did a bit of design work on the alien for that movie. Not wanting to simply repeat himself, the artist added some new features to the creature such as a "finger brain," consisting of numerous tendrils along the top of the head that would movie in rhythmic patterns. Additionally, his new alien design had hollow tubes that would emit haunting windpipe noises. I don't know how scary this would have been on film (none of he designs were used because of concerns over production costs), but it's bizarre stuff, totally unlike anything found on the planet Earth. Hence, "alien" in the truest sense of the word. I can understand why filmmakers would be reluctant to take those kinds of risks, but if you're going to make a tie-in game you might as well try to make it stand on its own merits.

In the Eye of Argon
On the arcade front there were titles like Rastan (a side-scrolling action game), and Golden Axe (a classic from the beat'em-up genre). Obviously, a big part of these kind of games is the physicality of the characters. Showing off precise muscle definition sometimes came at a price. No steroids here, I'm talking about titles like Sword of Sodan, a game that has some of the biggest, most detailed character sprites you'll find on the Sega Genesis. They look cool, but they come at the expense of fluid controls. Ironically, there's a grain of truth here in that real life body builders sometimes focus on muscle mass and definition at the expense of agility, resulting in a strong, but somewhat clumsy individual. The movie director of the original "Conan the Barbarian" noticed this when he cast Arnold for the role and asked the then seven time Mr. Olympia champion to do more calisthenic exercises (like jump rope and horseback riding) rather than focusing solely on weight lifting. The results were mixed, with Arnold nursing a sprained ankle through the later part of the production shoot. He really doesn't have that "panther-ish" grace that Robert E. Howard used to describe the character.
Bakshi's stylistic choices make it hard not to also examine the movie in a social context, and it's pretty eclectic. For one thing, adherence to the Frazetta style makes this one of the few fantasy flicks I've seen wherein the male characters are almost as sexualized as the females, give the minimalist wardrobe. Hero Larn finds himself in need of rescue several times, and despite the ceaseless efforts of the screenplay to turn her into a damsel, heroine Teegra is a pretty resourceful character. Other depictions are less progressive, though. Ice lord Nekron is pretty unambiguously gay, but his implied homosexuality – specifically, the fact that he finds Teegra undesirable – is presented as an evil attribute. And what can be said about the dark-skinned, animalistic "subhumanoids" other than an acknowledgement of how clearly fantasy often caters to exclusively white audiences?As odd as it might sound, the recently released Age of Barbarian: Extended Cut reminds me a lot of "Fire and Ice," except if it were CGI instead of rotoscope animation.

When we are little we are asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" And rightfully so, we are encouraged in whatever that might be, whether that be a dream to become a famous movie star, a successful athlete, and entrepreneur, or a police officer.
As kids, we are told, "You can be whatever you want when you grow up."
But is this really true?
I'm not suggesting that we don't encourage dreaming about being anything imaginable, but it's not as true as it might seem. In some sense, the doors are wide open. When you are little, nothing is off limits for your dreams. But is it because the options are really limitless?
If you have no gifts or abilities in engineering, you probably can't be an engineer.
If you don't know how to play an instrument, you can't be a musician.
If you can't dribble a basketball, you can't play in the NBA.
If you don't have any patience for junior high students, you can't teach junior high students.
If you have no competency in budgeting, you probably won't be a Chief Financial Officer.
You can't really be anything you want to be. But you can try anything in the pursuit to discover your gifts. I'm not going to suggest that we stop telling kids they can be whatever they want. That statement for a child is more about permission to dream big and try anything. The exploration and imagination of possible future jobs is helpful and important.
But eventually we need to face the reality that we can't be anything.
The problem for many of us is not that we were told that we could be anything we want to be. But we still think that and ignore the unique ways that God has gifted us and created us.
Realizing that you can't be anything may sound like bad news, but I would suggest that in realizing that you were not given every gift you are freed to do the things that you do best or are needed to support your family.
You can be anything that God calls you to be.
Because when God calls you be something, he gifts you with what is necessary to be that thing and gives you the opportunities to fulfill that calling.
The temptation for many people, especially when they find themselves in college preparing for a future career or when they are in a job they dislike, is to ignore the present while dreaming about the future. God may certainly be training and preparing you for a future calling, this is an important part of schooling.
But school or an unsatisfying job is not a "lesser calling." God calls you to be a student. He calls you to study, to work, to serve on your campus, to be a missionary, and to simply love your neighbors. This might be your calling at this very moment while God is also preparing you for another calling that you have not yet discovered.
Perhaps you have a job that makes you want to pull out your hair, but for the sake of your family you have to keep working and cannot pursue something else. Don't ignore that your job is still a calling from God (while not necessarily a forever calling). It allows you to love and care for your family. For many people, the 9 to 5 grind is less about passionately using their gifts and more about providing for their family. This too is a sacred, holy calling that shouldn't be ignored.
Learn and discover your gifts for the sake of using those in your callings. God has gifted you to be the person he created you to be and to do the work that he has prepared for you to do. You might not have any ability to be a professional athlete or to run a fortune 500 company, but you are perfectly wired for the work that God has called you to.

CareFlight plays crucial role in North-West Queensland patient transfer
The Mount Isa RACQ CareFlight Rescue helicopter has played a crucial role in helping to transport a young indigenous patient across the breadth of Queensland to receive the treatment he requires.
The 4-year-old boy is a resident of the small North-West township of Dajarra, south-west of Mount Isa and close to the Northern Territory-Queensland border.
At 4.35pm yesterday (Friday) afternoon, the Mount Isa rescue helicopter was tasked to fly to Dajarra to collect the boy, who had developed complications associated with a medical condition.
The CareFlight crew flew the patient and his mother to Mount Isa airport, where they were met by the Townsville-based Royal Flying Doctor Service jet.
RFDS then transported the patient on to hospital in Townsville for treatment. He travelled in a stable condition.
Had the patient been transported by road, the trip would have taken over 10 hours.
CareFlight pilot Mike Slattery paid credit to all involved for the well-coordinated, inter-agency rescue effort.
"This coordination of assets, whilst not the first occasion, shows just how well CareFlight and the RFDS are partnering in Mount Isa, and across the wider retrieval network, to improve outcomes for patients," said Mike.

Andros Townsend is hopeful that his loan spell at Queens Park Rangers will prove that he is good enough to be a regular starter in the Premier League, whether that is with Tottenham or another top flight club.
The 21-year-old scored at the weekend as QPR secured a vital win over Sunderland and he is finally getting the chance to show his potential after a frustrating time at Tottenham.
Townsend had been training with the Spurs first team but had found it virtually impossible to get a regular spot in the first team because of the competition from the likes of Gareth Bale, Aaron Lennon, Clint Dempsey and Glyfi Sigurdsson.
Having previously been sent on loan to eight different clubs in the Football League, Townsend is happy to finally demonstrate his ability in the Premier League as he looks to prove that he deserves a first team place at a top flight club.
"Obviously I have belief in my own ability but this is my chance now to show people at Spurs, here and around the Premier League that I am good enough," Townsend told the Fulham Chronicle.
"Hopefully I can take the opportunities when they come and show people what I can do. I've spoken to Tim Sherwood a few times and Les Ferdinand has been down to a few games.
"They're keeping tabs on me and hopefully they are pleased with what they see."
Townsend has started just seven games for Tottenham since coming through the academy and has seen a host of midfielders arrive at the club.
However, Tottenham were left short in the wide areas this weekend as they were forced to play Mousa Dembele on the right side of midfield because of an injury to Aaron Lennon.
With Lennon injured and Bale often playing through the centre, Tottenham are short of genuine wide players in their reserves and Townsend will be hoping that he can fulfil that role next season.

Thank you to the Volunteers who helps last Thursday!/
Last week we ran our first volunteer club at Burstwick. The idea was born from suggestions from a few members that said they'd like to help out every now and then, and that an arranged club every month would give them chance to do so in numbers.
The first volunteer club was scheduled for last Thursday and we're delighted to say that eight members turned up to help out.
With paint brushes in hand and a couple of tins of fence paint we set about giving the entrances of the locker rooms a nice coat of cedar. After an hour we had finished, cleaned up (mainly Alan's drips because he was putting it on a little wildly!) and all the equipment put back away. Easy!
With nine people doing an hour's work that has saved one of our maintenance staff a full days work, and it's a job that is difficult to get round to doing with so much work going on around the course.

I am a 38 year [getting] old CG Animator with 16 years experience in the world of VFX, commercials, feature animation and games cinematics.
I have been living in Bristol for six years and I love it here. I own a horse called Moo (because she looks a bit like a cow) we compete at Showjumping and Eventing.
I also have a lovely Patterdale terrier called Beryl.
I graduated from the Animation degree in Newport in 2000 and moved to London in search of the bright lights, which I found in the form of a job as a Runner at Framestore. From there, I went on to be a Motion Tracker and then a Junior Animator and then, at last, a fully fledged Animator.
After working on some great projects, including Buckbeak the Hippogriff in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, in 2005 I decided a change was needed, so I moved to Sydney for a year to work on Happy Feet.
Being in Australia made me realise I had always wanted to be a cowgirl, so I got a job as a 'Jilleroo' on a cattle station in the bush for six months. It was very hard work, especially as there was an awful drought at the time. But it was a fantastic experience that will stay with me forever.
At the end of the six months I had to say Goodbye to my new-found family, horses and dogs and move back to London to work on The Golden Compass at Framestore. I then got the opportunity to work on The Tale of Despereaux and Where The Wild Things Are. Although these were great projects and I learnt a great deal, I found the transition back to London very difficult and pined for the country life...
After two years back in the UK I finally got six weeks' work at Aardman. This seemed to suit me and them so well that they contracted me for two years on Arthur Christmas, which was released in November 2011.
Since finishing on Arthur Christmas in June 2011 I have worked as a freelance animator mainly in Bristol but I'm happy to travel for short stints as I have done to London and Glasgow. I also work from home if it suits the project.
I really enjoy the variety that comes with freelancing, not only of the work but also the people and places, I see every new project as a new adventure as well as a new challenge.

Rated 4 out of 5 by AlaRunnerGirl from Great shoe, but too wide Cute, well-made shoe (similar to Stuart Weitzman's Nudist shoe at a better price point), but too wide for my narrow feet, unfortunately.
Date published: 2019-10-22
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mp87 from Not For Non-Narrow Feet The front strap was so tight that I had to return them. My feet are slightly wider than average so if you have wide feet, these won't fit very comfortable.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jim for wife from Sexy, not real practical Dang fine shoe. Too tall for wife, mother of two. She looked great, but would not get use, since the heel is so high. I liked the way she looked. Would have been a keeper 10 years ago, when we still partied.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jessica04 from Stylish comfortable Loved the shoe! It was comfortable but did have to go a size up so they weren't so tight

Rated 5 out of 5 by Linda in Boca Raton from Gorgeous Shoes Sam Edelman never disappoints. These shoes go with everything and look amazing. I have them in a few colors, and have been waiting for them to be available in white. So. Happy. :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Just Sandy from Passed my dancing test! I bought these a few months ago at Nordstroms. I have the black suede pair. These have passed my "dance all night" test. They have a very comfortable bed inside, so it does not need those little gel pads that you can put in yourself (and that I have to put in all my heels). The feet do not slide - very nice. It is now my go to pair when I go out... Even for dancing! I will dance for about 3-4 hours at times and I keep them on until I get back into the car to drive home. The toe of these sandals are slighty tilted so it is an amzingly comfortable way of feeling well balanced on your feet. I get many compliments. All and all a very sexy, elegant and chic sandal. I need another pair in a nude. Wish they had them in a chocolate color as well. Fyi. I am a true size 8 and I purchased a size 8.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Maayan from Love the Sandal Fabulous sandal!!! Wish you will ship your amazing prudocts also overseas to Israel

Rated 5 out of 5 by Girl18 from Really sexy! I read mixed reviews and was a little concerned with the comfort of these but I'm happy to say these fit me fantastic. I wear an 8 and purchased an 8. I prefer a strappy shoe to be slightly snug so it doesn't slide around. These are the right amount of snug. The front strap is tighter so your feet don't come out... the last thing you want is your toes over the edge of your shoe... not a good look. These are comparable to the popular blogger shoe at $395 but at a fraction of the cost. The nude patent is so CLASSIC and the color elongates your legs!

Fifteen-year-old Silveo staggers home after an ill-advised assassination attempt against Prince Leopaard Maijha. Silveo is not handling the experience well, and he's not sure how his mentor, Malpin, will receive him. Things don't get any easier when it turns out that Malpin is entertaining a lady.
"Professionals" is a short story about characters from The Guild of the Cowry Catchers series--a dark, nautical fantasy, set in the world of Panamindorah. The story takes place 14 years before the main events of Cowry Catchers.
Content Warning
Cowry Catchers and related stories contain mature content--sex, violence, characters of all sexual orientations. This comic is for grown-ups only. If you need to ask whether you will be offended, you probably will.
Who is the artist?
Sarah (Rah) Cloutier. She is also Abbie's cover artist, the illustrator for the original Cowry Catchers books and for the Feeding Malachi books. Rah was one of the artists for a comic called Metanoia many years ago.
Is this Comic Ongoing?
Nope. Both Rah and I decided we had bitten off more than we could chew with this project. However, Issue 0 ("Professionals") is a complete short story that stands alone. It is a prequal to the Cowry Catchers novels. In addition, the comic version of chapter 1 is complete and sets up the novels.
These books were originally illustrated (before the comic ever existed). You can still find many of the illustrations free online if you look in my Pinterest and Tumblr. The Art of Cowry Catchers artbook (hardcover and PDF) displays them all beautifully in one place with some context and some special content created exclusively for the art book. This is completely aside from the comic. It's a separate thing.
Does this story exist in other forms?
Cowry Catchers was a series of illustrated novels, a series of podcasts, and a full length audio book before we tried the comic. "Professionals" also exists in these forms. Go here to learn more.
Is there a paper version of the comic?
There is a paper version of "Professionals."

CRC - Remote Sensing of Protected Lands
|Publication Date:
|21 November 2011
|Page Count:
National parks, wildlife refuges and sanctuaries, natural reserves, conservation areas, frontier lands, and marine-protected areas are increasingly recognized as essential providers of ecosystem services and biological resources. As debates about climate change and sustainability intensify, protected areas become more important as indicators of ecosystem conditions in particular environments or in comparison with adjacent environments.
The first book of its kind, Remote Sensing of Protected Lands showcases state-of-the-art remote sensing applications for the inventory and monitoring of protected areas. Contributions from renowned scholars and experts from around the world are organized into four sections covering the use of remote sensing in:
Changing landscapes and change detection
Inventory, mapping, and conservation Inventory and monitoring of frontier lands Decision support for the management of protected lands A View of Both the Forest and the Trees
Combining reviews of theories and methods with analysis of case studies, the book gives readers both a systematic view of the field and detailed knowledge of specific topics. Case studies explore key topics in the context of a wide range of protected areas, including national parks in the United States and Canada, the Albertine Rift in eastern Africa, the Amazon forests, the Changbai Mountain region in Northeast Asia, the frontier lands in Siberia and the Tibetan Plateau, and marine protected areas along the tropical and temperate Pacific and Atlantic coasts.
Alongside each case study, the book examines advanced remote sensing technologies such as airborne and spaceborne high spatial resolution imageries, multispectral and multitemporal time series data, satellite interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), and the integration of remote sensing and field measurements for information extraction and modeling. Discussing challenges, lessons learned, and recommendations, this book provides a snapshot of how remote sensing techniques can be used to gather extensive spatial, spectral, temporal, and thematic information on protected lands and waters.

So far
tvOS supports two ways to make tv apps,
TVML and
UIKit, and there is no official mentions about how to mix up things to make a
TVML (that is basically
XML) User Interface with the native counter part for the app logic and I/O (like playback, streaming, iCloud persistence, etc).
So, which is the best solution to mix
TVML and
UIKit in a new
tvOS app?
In the following I have tried a solution following code snippets adapted from Apple Forums and related questions about
JavaScriptCore to ObjC/Swift binding.
This is a simple wrapper class in your Swift project.
import UIKit import TVMLKit @objc protocol MyJSClass: JSExport { func getItem(key: String) -> String ? func setItem(key: String, data: String) } class MyClass: NSObject, MyJSClass { func getItem(key: String) -> String ? { return "String value" } func setItem(key: String, data: String) { print("Set key:\(key) value:\(data)") } }
where the delegate must conform a
typealias TVApplicationDelegate = AppDelegate extension TVApplicationDelegate: TVApplicationControllerDelegate { func appController(appController: TVApplicationController, evaluateAppJavaScriptInContext jsContext: JSContext) { let myClass: MyClass = MyClass(); jsContext.setObject(myClass, forKeyedSubscript: "objectwrapper"); } func appController(appController: TVApplicationController, didFailWithError error: NSError) { let title = "Error Launching Application" let message = error.localizedDescription let alertController = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .Alert) self.appController ? .navigationController.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: { () - & gt;Void in }) } func appController(appController: TVApplicationController, didStopWithOptions options: [String: AnyObject] ? ) {} func appController(appController: TVApplicationController, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions options: [String: AnyObject] ? ) {} }
At this point the javascript is very simple like. Take a look at the methods with named parameters, you will need to change the javascript counter part method name:
App.onLaunch = function(options) { var text = objectwrapper.getItem() // keep an eye here, the method name it changes when you have named parameters, you need camel case for parameters: objectwrapper.setItemData("test", "value") } App.onExit = function() { console.log('App finished'); }
Now, supposed that you have a very complex
javascript interface to export like
@protocol MXMJSProtocol - (void)boot:(JSValue *)status network:(JSValue*)network user:(JSValue*)c3; - (NSString*)getVersion; @end @interface MXMJSObject : NSObject @end @implementation MXMJSObject - (NSString*)getVersion { return @"0.0.1"; }
you can do like
JSExportAs(boot, - (void)boot:(JSValue *)status network:(JSValue*)network user:(JSValue*)c3 );
At this point in the JS Counter part you will not do the camel case:
but you are going to do:
Finally, look at this interface again:
- (void)boot:(JSValue *)status network:(JSValue*)network user:(JSValue*)c3;
The value
JSValue* passed in. is a way to pass completion handlers between ObjC/Swift and
JavaScriptCore. At this point in the native code you do all call with arguments:
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ NSNumber *state = [NSNumber numberWithInteger:status]; [networkChanged.context[@"setTimeout"] callWithArguments:@[networkChanged, @0, state]]; });
In my findings, I have seen that the MainThread will hang if you do not dispatch on the main thread and async. So I will call the javascript "setTimeout" call that calls the completion handler callback.
So the approach I have used here is:
– Use
JSExportAs to take car of methods with named parameters and avoid to camel case javascript counterparts like callMyParam1Param2Param3
– Use
JSValue as parameter to get rid of completion handlers. Use callWithArguments on the native side. Use javascript functions on the JS side;
dispatch_async for completion handlers, possibly calling a setTimeout 0-delayed in the JavaScript side, to avoid the UI to freeze.
See here for discussion.
