Wilmington Police have released a sketch of a suspect that murdered a 16 year old boy in January.
The incident happened on the unit block of East 24th Street on January 26th just after 6p.m.
The victim, Ahkee Flonnory, was shot once in the head by an unknown man. A second victim, who was not identified due to the investigation, was injured as well after being struck by a projectile, according to police.
Police have located some witnesses but are hoping that the sketch provides more information to who the suspect might be.

Carlson Labs - Key-E Natural Vitamin E Suppositories - 24 Suppositories
Carlson Labs Key E-Suppositories are natural and soothing inserts prepared with a base derived from coconut and palm oils. Each suppository supplies 30 IU of natural-source vitamin E to soothe and lubricate areas with excessive dryness. For rectal or vaginal use.
INFO ON VITAMIN ESince its discovery, Vitamin E has gained the interest of scientists and health professionals world-wide. It was originally found that an absence of Vitamin E caused animals to become sterile. Further research has shown a deficiency of Vitamin E in some animals may also result in muscular dystrophy, certain heart problems and other ailments. The most extensive clinical work with Vitamin E was done by Doctors Evan and Wilfrid Shute of Canada, beginning in the 1940's.
Vitamin E for Your Good Health
Because this essential nutrient cannot be manufactured by the body, many knowledgeable individuals are choosing a Vitamin E nutritional supplement.
All-Natural Vitamin ECarlson Vitamin E can be used with confidence. On each Carlson Vitamin E label you will find the words: "Independently Assayed to Guarantee 100% Potency, 100% Natural-Source Vitamin E."
Carlson All-Natural Vitamin E is derived from soybean oil, a food source. Synthetic Vitamin E is not derived from a food source, but is produced from turpentine or petroleum products.
Published studies of scientists and nutritionists confirm the differences among the types of Vitamin E. It is now universally recognized that Natural Vitamin E is considerably more active biologically than Synthetic Vitamin E. Research shows that Natural Vitamin E is: ABSORBED BETTER, and RETAINED IN THE BODY LONGER.
How to Recognize Natural Vitamin EAlpha Tocopherol (or Alpha Tocopheryl) is the recognized term for Vitamin E.
Acetate and Succinate are important organic molecules within our bodies involved in numerous biochemical reactions. For example, acetate is an important part of acetylcholine, the neural transmitter required by every nerve cell in our bodies to transmit impulses. Moreover, acetate and succinate are found in energy producing reactions in every cell. Acetate is another name for pure vinegar, and succinate is two acetic acid molecules attached together.
Don't be Fooled By "Part-Natural" Vitamin EUnfortunately, some brands of Vitamin E are mislabeled. Some products claim to contain Natural Vitamin E when, in fact, they only contain 5% to 25% Natural Vitamin E blended with Synthetic Vitamin E.
The presence of Natural Vitamin E can only be guaranteed by an Independent Assay (Test) of each batch. As your assurance that Carlson products contain only 100% Natural-Source Vitamin E, the statement above appears on all vitamin E labels.
Tested QualityAt Carlson Laboratories we not only promise quality, we GUARANTEE it. Since our beginning, every batch of Vitamin E product has been assayed for potency and source by an independent testing firm which is registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as following Good Laboratory Practices. Copies of individual assay reports, as shown at the left, may be obtained upon request.
The Recommended Vitamin EPhysicians and health-care professionals recommend Carlson Vitamin E knowing that their patients will be receiving only the highest quality of 100% Natural Vitamin E with full label potency guaranteed.
The medical staff of the Shute Medical Clinic of Canada, internationally recognized for their research and clinical applications with Vitamin E, have singled out Carlson Vitamin E products as the brand they highly recommend.

I was talking with a friend the other day about the movie "Lincoln," and I mentioned that although the film wasn't perfect, it avoided the trap of hagiography.
This literary gentleman gave me a quizzical look.
"Of what?" he said.
I assumed he was making fun of me. Had I mispronounced the word? Mumbled it? Maybe it sounded un peu prétentieux?
"Hagiography," I said.
When his forehead furrowed again, I felt a jolt of disbelief: He didn't know what it meant.
Now, this is a guy who knows so much about so many things that when you discover you know something he doesn't, it's, well, it's very supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
But I'm not here today to discuss his vocabulary. Our exchange got me thinking about my own, and how rarely I learn new words these days — "android" and "app" don't count — and how rarely I use the more flamboyant words I do know, or used to know.
I suspect I'm part of a larger trend. In a recent study, some physicists looked at Google's digitized books to see how word use has changed. They concluded words are dying from disuse faster than they ever have.
You could blame email, texting and electronic spell-checkers, all the technology that nudges us toward the short and the familiar. Or blame Ernest Hemingway, who convinced a century of writers that simpler was better.
Whatever the truth is, I know I don't hear or read as wide a range of words as I used to, and consequently don't use as many, or learn many new ones.
When you're young, you gobble up new words, and in my family, we were force-fed. The force didn't come from my mother, a big reader with a vast and musical vocabulary. The force came from my father.
He was not a literary person — I never saw him read a novel — but the dictionary fascinated him the way sports scores did. He revered "vocabulary words" as the building blocks of character. He made his kids read the dictionary aloud, and used it as a disciplinary tool.
"You, Mary Theresa, are an insubordinate child," he once bellowed. "Do you know what 'insubordinate' means?"
"No, sir."
"Look it up. And learn the etymology. Do you know what 'etymology' means?"
"No, sir."
"Look it up. And bring me the definition of both words. Verbatim. Do you know what 'verbatim' means?"
And thus my word garden flourished.
For years, nothing thrilled me more than learning new words just for the pleasure of the sound.
Chimera. Obviate. Amanuensis. Meretricious.
Guided by the principle that if you used a word 10 times it would become your friend for life, I tossed such words into my college papers as breezily as you might scatter birdseed — until the day a professor scribbled, "Please look words up before you use them."
Over time, using words that I rarely heard others use came to seem pointless, like speaking Dutch in Mexico. Using words sniffed at as "ten-dollar words" was like wearing loud pants, something you'd do only if you wanted to stand out obnoxiously from the crowd.
I still get excited, though, when a word I've forgotten pops into view or when I encounter one I don't know, which can happen when you're least expecting it.
"You just don't see that many sesquipedalian writers like William F. Buckley Jr. in the media anymore," said a colleague to whom I mentioned this topic.
I was thrilled to hear him say that. Why? Because I've never written or spoken the word "sesquipedalian."
And I had to look it up.

International Science School 2013 Program
Centuries of progress in science and technology have given us amazing understanding and control over the matter around us in the universe. In the last few decades we have learned to explore and manipulate matter at the scale of atoms and molecules - at a level where quantum effects take over, and familiar materials take on entirely unexpected properties.
This new age of nanoscience and nanotechnology promises a vast array of novel applications, from invisibility cloaks inspired by extraordinary metamaterials, to bespoke medicines fighting disease at the molecular level, to the next generation of optics-based IT technologies that will blow away today's fastest communication systems.
The 37th Professor Harry Messel International Science School (ISS2013) will be run from June 30th to July 13th 2013. The ISS2013 Nanoscience: Small Wonders, Big Future will bring together top international and Australian nanoscience experts - along with leaders from the breadth of science, including keynote speaker and Nobel prize-winning cosmologist Professor Brian Schmidt.
Get the ISS2013 book!
- As a PDF file, which can be read on any computer: high resolution, big file (90MB PDF) or lower resolution, smaller file (25MB PDF)
- As an ibook for the iPad (50MB ibooks file): you will need the iBooks app on your iPad to view the book. You can either download directly to your iPad, or to your computer and then transfer to your iPad through iTunes.
About the program
During the two-week program, students take part in a variety of science activities to help them discover and realise their scientific potential.
- Talks and interactive workshops run by leading scientists challenge and expose students to new ideas.
- Students enter the world of thriving science laboratories and participate in hands-on experiments.
- A dynamic social program provides opportunities to develop new friendships with students from around the world, and to get to know the University and the wonderful city of Sydney.
- Students live on campus throughout the ISS at one of the university residences, and have access to the University's gym, pool and library.
How to apply
Applications for the 2013 program have closed. Applications for ISS2015 will open early 2015.

If I copy some text from another source like a word doc or email, and try and paste into this message field, the system will not allow me to do this. The only options that present themselves are "Insert link, Image, Alignment, insert table".
And if I write something within this message field and then select and copy and then try and paste this section somewhere else within this message, the system will not allow it.
This is EXTREMELY annoying.
Why Why why ??!
It works for me!
Maybe you need some patience!
a constructive contribution would have been more helpful!
Opine your favorite editor.
Type you text.
Use the <Ctrl>+A key combination to copy your text.
Use the <Ctrl>+C key combination to copy your text.
Go to reply box.
Sent cursor in the reply box.
Make sure the cursor is in the box.
Use the <Ctrl>+V key combination to paste.
Y9u have to use the key combinations for pasting as the web browser's menu options are not available within the reply box.
And how do you cut and paste?
First of all what do you mean by 'favourite editor' ?
And why on earth would i need to do all this? It should be simply right click and the option to cut , copy or paste should be available to you without having to do all that <ctrl> +A key rubbish.
And if these options arent available within the reply box, then Adobe should fix this blindingly obvious shortcoming.
And as for cut and paste, I just highlight what I want to copy or cut and the paste it .
I belong to many forums and this is the first forum that does not allow you to paste text from another source.
> First of all what do you mean by 'favorite editor' ?
How many editing programs programs d you have on your computer?
Windows come with edline,Notepad, and WinWord. Then you can add MS Office. OpenOfficeorg, NotePad++, TextPad and others. Not to include the the editors in all of the possible email programs you could be using.
> And why on earth would i need to do all this? It should be simply right click and the option to cut , copy or paste should be available to you without having to do all that <ctrl> +A key rubbish.
Since this reply box does not support a menu item with a cut and paste menu or tool option, it is the only method available.
If you do not like it, maybe you should run this site for Adobe.
I am aware of many forums that do also do not have menu items or tools for cutting to and pasting from the OS clipboard.
Your problem should be directed to the administrator of this forum and not the other users.
>Your problem should be directed to the administrator of this forum and not the other users.<
You should have explained the fact that the right click on mouse for 'copy, cut and paste' functions were not available in this forum right at the begining rather than trying to be smart with your initial comments i.e
"It works for me!
Maybe you need some patience!
For what you are paying for this service, and what I am bing paid, I would rather not have to explain every possible way to perform a very common task.
I copy several hundred lines of data on a regular basis and the key board shortcuts are just easier.
Also many times user systems need some time to fully download a web page and set up the display on a client system before one can even start to type. You clearly did not communicate your issue clearly enough.
Well - aren't you the genius
And with regard to whether or not I expressed the issue clearly enough, i have posted the same to Adobe admin. Lets see if they understand the subject matter.
Use ctrl+v or Edit > Paste of the browser window.
However with reference to my previous messages, I dont understand why the right click mouse options of 'copy, cut and paste' have been disabled. I feel that using shortcut keys or the browser edit functions is a bit of a retrograde step. In fact, the options in the menus bar within the message window already have insert link, insert image and so i dont understand why these are duplicated why I right click my mouse within the message field. Also I have to be specific where I right clickmy mouse othwerise I get a much bigger drop down menu list.
looks like admin understood my query immediatley and without the confusion that you apparently had. Their response was
"This turns out to be a 'known issue" with Jive. They don't have a date set for a possible fix, but suggest using CTL-V to paste. They also said it might be possible to hit the enter key a couple of times and then the Right-Click paste function should come back."
I also dont think that the shortcut key method is always the most efficient.
Why did you post this in the forum for Acrobat Forms?
because i couldnt find an appropriate forum to post this query and chose this by random

Pizza >Sorrento's Pizza House
2428 S Western Ave, San Pedro, CA | Directions 9073233.723552 -118.312157
Neighborhoods: Coastal San Pedro, Harbor
Best pizza in town! – Best Pizza in town. Love the sandwiches too. Its my go to pizza place.
THE BEST PIZZA IN TOWN BY FAR!!! – We've got a lot of Italian heritage in our family and have tasted many a pizza, to say the least. Sorrento's is, by far, the best we've ever come across. Not only are the pizza's at Sorrento's highly recommended, so are the sandwiches and pasta dishes. Everything that our family has ordered from Sorrento's has been absolutely delicious. After recommending this establishment to friends and fellow co-workers, some have driven out of their way just to grab a pizza to take home to the family (in Los Angeles traffic!!!) I think that pretty much says it all!
Best Pasta – The pasta was great. I love the meat sauce because it tastes so good. I would pass on the salad and maybe even the garlic bread and just go straight for the pasta so cut the cost down. The interior is a little 70's style but the food is great.
This Pizza is heavy! – I tried Sorrento's for the first time through a referral and will never forget. The first thing I noticed when picking up my order was the weight. Its the heaviest pizza I've ever lifted. They are very generous with the toppings and the flavor does not disappoint.
great. – This place is the BEST pizza place ever. My family has been going here since the 60s, always been the best.
Their pizza is huge, thick slices (2-3 will do you), great sauce, TONS of cheese and toppings. It's different than most pizza but it's the best.
Soooooooo Good – What a Pizza:Great crust, LOTS of cheese great, sauce and the toppings are applied almost to excess. Eat in or take out. Great pasta dishes too

Planting the Trees of Kenya : The Story of Wangari Maathai
Wangari Maathai is the winner of the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize and founder of the Green Belt Movement. She grew up in Kenya, where fig trees cloaked the hills, fish filled the streams, and people tended bountiful gardens. But over many years, as more and more land was cleared, Kenya was transformed.

Managing Your Money
If you're looking to cut expenses and keep better track of your expenses, take a look at the fees you pay for your bank accounts.
You may be able to help avoid bank fees and save money by reducing your banking costs.
Some banks charge monthly maintenance fees to keep your accounts open and to perform transactions. You can find out if you're currently being charged fees by talking to a bank associate or checking your bank account statement. Some banks will waive these fees under certain conditions. For example:
Using ATMs that are outside of your own bank's network can cost you extra money. Depending on your banking institution, you may have to pay both a fee to the bank the ATM belongs to and a fee to your own bank for every transaction. The simplest way to help avoid ATM fees is to use your own bank's ATMs whenever possible. To make it easier, research the location of your bank's ATMs or choose a bank with either a wide network of ATMs or one that waives ATM fees.
If you make a transaction that exceeds what you have in your checking or savings account, you may be charged an overdraft fee. Alternatively, your bank may choose to not allow the transaction and instead charge you a fee for having insufficient funds, known as an Non-Sufficient Funds fee, also known as NSF: Returned Item fee. Thankfully, it's not hard to help avoid overdraft fees if you protect yourself with a few safeguards.
These tips can help you avoid unnecessary bank fees and keep better track of the money in your checking and savings accounts.

AA. Capitalized letters are grade indicators usually describing the size of the bean
Acidity, Acidy, Acid. Usually, the pleasant tartness of a fine coffee. Acidity, along with flavor, aroma, and body, is one of the principal categories used by professional tasters in cupping, or sensory evaluation of coffee. When not used to describe cup characteristics, the term acidity may refer to pH, or literal acidity, or to certain constituents present in coffee that ostensibly produce indigestion or nervousness in some individuals.
After-Dinner Roast, Espresso Roast, Continental Roast, and European Roast. Terms for coffee brought to degrees of roast ranging from somewhat darker than the traditional American norm to dark brown. Acidity diminishes and a rich bitter-sweetness emerges. Among many newer American specialty roasters, roast styles once called by these names may in fact constitute the typical, "regular" roast of coffee.
Aged Coffee, Vintage Coffee. Traditionally, coffee held in warehouses for several years, sometimes deliberately, sometimes inadvertently. Such aging reduces acidity and increases body. Aged coffee has been held longer than either old crop coffee or mature coffee. Recently, some Indonesia coffee has been subject to a sort of accelerated aging involving deliberate exposure to moist air, much like India's monsooned coffee.
Alajuela. Market name for one of the better coffees of Costa Rica.
Altura. "Heights" in Spanish; describes Mexico coffee that has been high- or mountain-grown.
American Roast. Coffee roasted to traditional American taste: medium brown.
Americano, Caffè Americano. An espresso lengthened with hot water.
Ankola. Seldom-used market name for arabica coffee from northern Sumatra.
Antigua. Market name for one of the most distinguished coffees of Guatemala, from the valley surrounding the old capital of Guatemala Antigua.
Aquapulp. Terms for a procedure in which the sticky fruit pulp, or mucilage, is removed from freshly picked coffee beans by scrubbing in machines. Mechanical demucilaging is gradually replacing the traditional wet processing procedure of removing mucilage by fermentation and washing.
Arabian Mocha. Single-origin coffee from the southwestern tip of the Arabian peninsula, bordering the Red Sea, in the mountainous regions of present-day Yemen. The world's oldest cultivated coffee, distinguished by its full body and distinctively rich, winy acidity.
Arabica, Coffea Arabica. The earliest cultivated species of coffee tree and still the most widely grown. It produces approximately 70% of the world's coffee, and is dramatically superior in cup quality to the other principal commercial coffee species, Coffea canephora or Robusta . All fine, specialty, and fancy coffees come from Coffea arabica trees.
Aroma. The fragrance produced by hot, freshly brewed coffee. Aroma, along with flavor, acidity, and body, is one of the principal categories used by professional tasters in cupping, or sensory evaluation of coffee.
Arusha. Market name for coffee from the slopes of Mt. Meru in Tanzania.
Automatic Filter-Drip Coffee Makers. Coffee brewers that automatically heat and measure water into a filter and filter receptacle containing the ground coffee.

Orlando, Fla., Oct. 14, 2013 - Mike James, the owner of two pharmacies in Raleigh, N.C., was honored as the recipient of the 2013 John W. Dargavel Medal by the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) Foundation during NCPA's 115th Annual Convention and Trade Exposition, held Oct. 12-16 in Orlando, Fla.
The McKesson Corporation sponsors the annual award that honors an individual whose contributions on behalf of independent pharmacy embody the spirit of leadership and accomplishment personified by John W. Dargavel, who was executive secretary of the National Association of Retail Druggists (NARD), now NCPA, from 1933 to 1961. In fact, the NCPA Foundation was established in 1953 to honor Dargavel.
"We are honored to recognize the many positive and long-lasting contributions of Mike James to the practice of independent pharmacy," said Sharlea Leatherwood, PD, President of the NCPA Foundation. "James is an active member of his community who works tirelessly at the state and national level for the betterment of our profession. He is truly deserving of this year's John W. Dargavel Medal for his lifetime of service and leadership."
James owns two pharmacies in Raleigh, N.C. with his wife. James is Director of Government Affairs for Mutual Wholesale Drug, which is the seventh largest wholesaler in the U.S. He also serves as the Director of Government Affairs for the Association of Community Pharmacists. James has worked closely with the state of North Carolina on its Medicaid program and also in the development of several state prescription drug programs.
James began his career in the U.S. Air Force after graduating from Samford University in Birmingham, Ala. He serves or has served on various boards, such as Pharmacists Mutual Insurance Company, the North Carolina Association of Pharmacists, the North Carolina Health Coordinating Council, the North Carolina State Banking Commission, the North Carolina Retail Merchants Association, and others.
Some of James' honors include being named the NCPA Pharmacist of the Year and the North Carolina Pharmacist of the Year; and receiving the "Order of the Long Leaf Pine" award by the Governor of North Carolina (the highest civilian award given by the state) and the Bowl of Hygeia.
The NCPA Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization established in 1953 to honor the previous incarnation of NCPA, the National Association of Retail Druggists (NARD) Executive Secretary John W. Dargavel. Contributions to the foundation are tax-deductible as charitable donations to the extent permitted under federal tax law. The NCPA Foundation supports the growth of independent community pharmacy through scholarships to pharmacy students, critical research/programs to improve the success of independent pharmacy and patient care, community service programs, and financial aid to community pharmacy owners for their recovery in the event of disaster or other adverse circumstances. For more information, please visit www.ncpafoundation.org.
The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA®) represents the interests of America's community pharmacists, including the owners of more than 23,000 independent community pharmacies. Together they represent an $88.7 billion health care marketplace, dispense nearly 40% of all retail prescriptions, and employ more than 300,000 individuals, including over 62,000 pharmacists.

Attacks on communities resisting dam construction in Guatemala.
4 May 2012 - Friends of the Earth International strongly condemns the violence and repression against residents of the Santa Cruz Barillas in the Department of Huehuetenango, Guatemala, because of their opposition to the operations of the Spanish company Hydro Santa Cruz, SA.
At noon on the 1st of May a group of gunmen ambushed three local community leaders who because of their refusal to sell their land had been persecuted by the company. Precisely in this region the Hydro Santa Cruz company are intent on building a dam which has been strongly resisted by the communities affected, including through community consultations in which the project was rejected. In the attack Andrés Francisco Miguel was killed, while his colleagues and neighbours Paul Antonio Paul and Esteban Bernabé were seriously injured.
What you can do: Condemn the violence in Santa Cruz Barillas
The injured and witnesses of the death of Francisco Andres Miguel reported that their attackers were driving vehicles similar to those of the Hydro Santa Cruz company, reinforcing the conclusion that this event was organized by people linked to the company. This is furthermore connected with the report that was made two weeks before the proper authorities of the existence of homemade explosives on the premises of the company. These events are compounded by the actions of intimidation that has driven the company's assertion of their interests such as legal persecution, co-optation of leaders and threatening phone calls.
Confronted with this situation there has been an indignant reaction demanding justice, causing unrest in the area. The government of President Otto Perez Molina reacted to this by declaring a state of emergency in the region of Santa Cruz Barillas, authorizing arrests and searches against leaders of the protests.
Meanwhile, community- and other organizations (of Human Rights, environmentalists, among others) have expressed concern over the handling of the information being skewed in favor of the company.
It should be noted that social conflicts in Barillas are directly related to the authorization and operations of Hydro Santa Cruz, SA which has been favoured by successive governments, without giving effect to the right of the people affected to be informed freely and priorly.
Given the seriousness of the situation, we appeal to human rights organizations and green groups, and international public opinion to put pressure on the Guatemalan and Spanish authorities to support the claims of indigenous and peasant affected by conflict in Guatemala following the plans and acts of intimidation by the Spanish company Hydro Santa Cruz, including:
-Immediate suspension of license construction and operation of the hydroelectric Cambalam.
-The withdrawal of the Hydro Santa Cruz company from the area, responsible for social unrest in Barillas and to investigate its responsibility in this.
-The formation of a high-level commission with participation of civil society organizations to support research and ascertainment of responsibility for what happened.
-That the Government of Guatemala, provide protection and security to the population of Barillas and not the suspension of its constitutional rights on the basis of democratic security in the framework of the Peace Accords.

Contemporary Letterpress – Printing Without Picas
- 7 — 8 July 2014
Stratography or Pressure Printing is an innovative and experimental technique that uses a flexible plate attached to the cylinder of the press underneath the printing paper and is run through the press over an inked block. The pressure from the low-relief collage displaces the ink and produces beautiful, delicate, soft-edged qualities, not usually associated with relief printing techniques.
Plates are inexpensive and really easy to make. They can be used in combination with other printing techniques, or as a background to a line block etc. Textures can be created from paper, tape, thread, stickers, labels and other basic pressure sensitive materials. One of the great points about the pressure printing method is, alternate to the letterpress process, you do not have to deal with left/right reversal issues, so it is also a simple method for printing text.
This course provides step-by-step demonstration of the Pressure Printing method and creative possibilities with use of materials in the process. You will have the opportunity to create your own plates and make prints on day one that you can then work into, develop and continue to print on day two. The class will include discussions regarding inks, papers and other materials as well as basic Vandercook press operation and printing principles.

Fluxus Assembling Box
- 4 — 8 August 2014
A rare opportunity to work with Jeff Rathermel, the Executive Director at Minnesota Center for Books Arts and a Visiting Assistant Professor at Carleton College, USA. In the 1960s, George Maciunas urged a small group of artists to purge the world of bourgeois sickness and dead art. The result was Fluxus, a non-movement that expanded the definitions of what art can be. Rathermel's workshop will be an exploration of interdisciplinary anti-art that is ephemeral, inexpensive, and interactive. This course will involve the artistic possibilities of recycled materials, simple publication production, hands-on exercises to generate content, multiples, ready-mades, collaborative editions, and performance scores. The history of Fluxus and its founding principles will serve as an underpinning for all activities and projects. Work of contemporary artists working in the spirit of Fluxus will also be discussed. The workshop will end with the quintessential Fluxus celebration: a Happening!

CFPR UWE helps save 'integral part of English ceramic history' by combining late 19th century and digital print techniques
UWE Bristol's Centre for Fine Print Research (CFPR) is helping retain traditional English pottery decorating skills by finding ways of combining them with digital print techniques.
Professor Steve Hoskins, director of the CFPR, and Mr Dave Huson are collaborating with Burleigh Pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, the last remaining company to produce ceramic tableware decorated using the traditional printed underglaze tissue method. The pottery was saved from the threat of closure by the Princes' Regeneration Trust in June 2011.
The CFPR has just been awarded an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) grant worth £119,970 for a 12 month project called 'Combining Digital Print Technologies with 18th Century Underglaze Ceramic Printing to Retain an Industrial Heritage Process'.
Underglaze tissue ceramic transfer printing was first developed in the mid-18th century and involved the use of engraved or etched metal plates, from which the tissue was printed with a cobalt blue colour- the famous 'Willow Pattern' being a well-known example. Underglaze tissue has a very distinctive, subtle quality – it is an integral part of English ceramic history, and cannot be replicated by any other means.
When the Princes' Regeneration Trust became involved, this saved 50 jobs, maintaining the traditional manufacturing skills unique to the Burleigh Pottery at Middleport, and preserving the historic buildings, collection of moulds and machinery for the next 25 years.
Steve said, "There is a long-term issue with both the maintenance and production of printing rollers and plates, which in the past have been hand-engraved. This project aims to address that issue by introducing the potential of printing traditional potter's underglaze tissue and applying it in the same way as the late 18th Century process, but creating the plate from a digital file. This means reducing the time from one month needed to engrave a roller to less than a day to create a digital equivalent, whilst retaining the integrity of the final product."
This project builds upon previous AHRC funded research in 2000 in which Steve researched the combination of the digital capabilities of flexographic printing technology and the earliest printing processes first developed for the ceramic industry in the 1780s.
Underglaze transfer printing continued to be used in the UK ceramics industry up until the 1980s. However from the 1950s it began to be supplemented, first by screen printing, because it was relatively slow and required skilled artisans to apply the transfers. However because screen-printed transfers are on top of the glaze the image will wear and fade in a dishwasher and has none of the subtleties, delicate qualities and permanence of underglaze.
Sarah Heaton of Burleigh says, "Burleigh is now the last company left in the UK to use these time-honoured methods. This project offers the potential to retain important skills within the pottery industry and make sure that an extant and working Victorian Pottery remains a viable part of the community and the nation's industrial heritage."
Steve continued, "We aim to collaborate with Burleigh to consolidate a commercial future and retain the unique skill-base for this historic, very English, process whose development is part of a uniquely English form and thus of our cultural heritage.
"The aesthetic qualities of underglaze tissue transfer are not reproducible by other methods and it offers numerous artistic as well as commercial possibilities. Once the image is printed it can then be transferred in the traditional way to unglazed biscuit-fired ceramic ware. The resultant print is then fired, bonding the image permanently to the ceramic surface, and a clear glaze applied which both protects the printed image and enhances the colour of the pigments."
3D Printing in Ceramics
Arts and humanities research generates innovative ideas with real-world applications and commercial potential. One example of research that is realising this potential and contributing to economic growth is an AHRC-funded Knowledge Exchange project at the University of the West of England.
In this film we see how researchers at the Centre for Fine Print Research, Led by Professor Stephen Hoskins and his team, have developed new methods of creating ceramics using 3D printing technology and worked with Denby Potteries to test designs and develop prototype models in ceramics.

One of the early surprises of Signing Day was five-star running back and Arkansas commit Alex Collins being absent from his school's signing ceremony.
Collins, the No. 3 running back in Scout.com's class, committed Monday night during a live TV announcement on FOX Sports South but failed to show up Wednesday morning, causing mass Internet speculation and setting off a drama that, as of Wednesday night, was still unresolved.
The reasons for the absence? His mother doesn't want him to go to Arkansas.
Sources confirmed to Scout.com National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Newberg the early reports that Collins' mother, Andrea McDonald, refused to sign her son's Letter of Intent, confiscated it and left the school.
She apparently did so because she would prefer that the 18-year-old Collins attend Miami (FL), where he was once a commit. By rule, anyone under the age of 21 needs the signature of a parent or legal guardian for the Letter of Intent to be official.
"She's having anxiety," Alex Collins' brother, Johnny, told the Miami Herald. "I know she preferred him to go to (Miami). Alex had said he was going to the U, and then all of a sudden he changes his mind. We found out he was going to Arkansas on TV.
"They still needed her signature. You can't sign yourself over. It's in black and white. But I didn't expect any of this to happen. I'm as confused as everyone else."
Alex Collins has not commented publicly, but he did send a tweet this afternoon saying, "Everything is gonna be alright."
So will Collins flip back to Miami? CBSSports.com reported, citing a source, that he was still expected to end up at Arkansas by day's end.
Earlier in the day, the athletic director at Collins' high school in Plantation, Fla. -- in the greater Miami-Fort Lauderdale area -- told the Orlando Sun-Sentinel that "more due diligence needs to be done on the family's side of things," and confirmed that Collins had not signed a Letter of Intent. He did not go into specifics.

South Plantation head football coach Doug Gatewood was also absent from the signing ceremony and has not been reached for comment.
Collins admitted Monday that he hadn't decided for sure on Arkansas until moments before making his announcement, saying no one besides him knew what the decision would be.
Twitter was soon alive with the rumor that the mysterious disappearance was because his mother was preventing Collins from sending in the Letter of Intent.
John Franklin, one of Collins' high school teammates, indicated to the Sun-Sentinel that something was amiss.
"It's just a stressful time for him right now," Franklin said, according to the paper. "Some things happened that I'd rather not speak about because it's his business. I don't want to put it out there."
It remains to be seen how the situation will resolve, but it's still rough news for new Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema. Collins is the only five-star player on the Razorbacks' current list of commits.

I read in 3D Engine Database for some weeks, reading and reading again pages of comments or pages of (supposed) features. Here are my comments, whitch are the result of all these days of reading, whitch concentrate in "C#" part of the list.
1) some of theses tools are not free, and that's not clearly said in the front page. That's not a big shame, but I think it should be a primary information. The "price" word in bottom of page is very small… :blink:
2) some of these tools are not engines! But games in development phase, or some dll to patch some existing other tool… And nothing to sort all the stuff :wallbash:
3) there are (absolutely?) no docs! Some "how to" with tutorials about half a dozen of features, but never half of a tenth than it should be to build the start of a (MM)(ORP)Game. The More I read about was "Brume", whitch has ten samples but NO doc! And an API function's list is NOT a doc!
4) Comments: some of the tools are overfilled with tons of comments, all saying ad nauseam the same things: that's the best engine never said in the world! And sometimes in the middle of the list, one line saying "where are the docs, without them there's no way to do anything?", or "this is not stable at all" or "there are some samples but none work" but never any answer and again a list of alleluia.
These words are not against this site, whitch try to help and to bring something usefull to 3D community. But they show my disappointment about submitters who don't help by submiting 3D engines that are not 3D engines, or that are half of a quarter of a 3D engine for a long time, or that are harder than DirectX ou OpenGL to use, or endly that don't contain any doc about using and existing features, the list of them and the limits.
Last comment: in my opinion, a 3D engine should hide to programmers all the "inside" of DirectX or OpenGL. What is a "device"? No matter. What are the "caps" of my video card? Don't know! All this stuff is engine's work to declare, to find, to test… Well, all engine's samples beginning with "Device device = new …" or "DDirectX ddirectx = new…" maybe are patches but no real engines.

Manual tracking, screening and onboarding methods produced disjointed hiring practices for Apple Sauce, Inc.— a major franchisee of Applebee's Neighborhood Bar and Grill. Decentralized data-management cost the company time, money and compliance.
New hires spent three-fifths of onboarding time filling outpaperwork. Processing paperwork manually took more time and resources, which required constant follow-up for missing employee data.

Manatee Chamber appoints EDC director
Date: May 6, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Bob Bartz, president of the Manatee Chamber of Commerce, announced today that Eric Basinger, an economic development professional from Alabama, has been appointed the Economic Development Council. Basinger will assume his new position June 1.
"After a national search and in-depth discussions with Eric, we are convinced he will effectively lead our economic development efforts in this very challenging time," Bartz said.
Former Executive Director Nancy Engel last September announced last September her plans to step down after 25 years.
Basinger, an 11-year veteran of economic development, most recently served as executive director of the Elmore County Economic Development Authority in Wetumpka, Ala., an organization he helped to create. In that post since 2003, he worked to generate 1,292 jobs and more than $97 million of new capital investments in the community through corporate relocation and expansion of local businesses.
Basinger received his master's degree in public administration with specialization in planning and economic cevelopment from Auburn University and his bachelor's degree in history with a minor in international relations from the University of West Alabama.
"Manatee County is well-positioned to attract and retain high-wage jobs, and the EDC's track record in making that happen is indisputable," Basinger said. "The EDC's strong, collaborative relationships with local governments, regional stakeholders and state resources provide a foundation for us to expedite local economic expansion as the global economy recovers."
The Economic Development Council, a division of the Manatee Chamber of Commerce, is responsible for developing and implementing programs designed to attract new value-added businesses and to assist in the retention and growth of targeted existing businesses in Manatee County.

Capital Markets Recap
I guess it shouldn't be surprising. The U.S. equity markets are pushing all-time highs; it's natural that no one is worried about anything. In turn, folks aren't seeking the protection of option strategies, and that's leaving the Implied Volatility (i.e. The Fear Index) at multi-year lows. There are two endangered species on Wall Street, the stock bear and the bond bull.
Something that market technicians like to see is confirmation across markets. So, for example, if the Dow Jones Industrial Average is making new highs, then one would expect a robust market advance to push other U.S. markets to similar levels. We're seeing that. Check the box. Globally, however, there is a lack of confirmation, with many, many markets well below all-time highs, so leave that box unchecked; no global market confirmation. It is interesting to note, however, that with the whacky, early 1900s construction of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (i.e. no computers, let's just build the index based on stock prices; higher price = greater weight in index), a slightly different mix of stocks would have had the index hitting new highs months ago.
Now, I don't mean to rain on your parade, but I've heard many institutional investors characterized as fully invested with fingers hovering near the Sell button. Spook this market just a little and a correction gets underway. Want something to worry about?
But first, a little about me–just a little…I've been called a vessel of others' thoughts (I prefer to think I stand on others' shoulders.) That's all about me, but I am about to embody that notion…
There are economists who would find ways to argue with the following, but I'm about to tell you about the closest thing to a free lunch, followed by a free dessert.
If you're interested in a market commentary that isn't run of the mill, with the occasional bit of strategy thrown in, go to Cumberland Advisors and sign up for the complimentary market commentary. Next, if you're a geopolitical junkie, or otherwise wish to be kept abreast of what's going on in the world–stuff that's left unreported by the usual outlets–go to Kforce Government Solutions and sign up for its free daily/nightly NightWatch (I was alerted to the latter by the former…free lunch and dessert). There you would have been alerted–many days ago–to the goings on in North Korea that produced this headline, today.
That country's crackpot leader, who many had hoped would not be a chip off the old block, is doing dearly-departed-father proud, ending an armistice, all but declaring war on the U.S. in the process. I have reproduced David Kotok's–of Cumberland Advisors–missive of earlier this week, verbatim, below. The combination, however, of investors lulled into a false sense of security by the pretty people (are those your real lips?) on the cable television finance shows trumpeting new highs and nothing to worry about , which is evidenced by the low Fear Index reading above, and a crackpot in North Korea could produce a serious teeth-kicking for the markets.
But I've got to run. I have a date with the beautiful and charming Mimi Stettner, who is my eight year-old daughter.
I don't how legible this will be. If you have trouble, click here to go to the original on the Cumberland site.

How to justify that runway look
By Britt Aboutaleb | October 28, 2010 4:00 p.m.
Sometimes a runway look's just a runway look, but sometimes it's so much more, like the perfect Halloween costume. Whether you're trying to channel a human heart with a blood red Vivienne Westwood gown or impress your local dry cleaners with a Viktor & Rolf shirtdress, we've scoured the runways to equip you with the most high fashion costume.
When Ashish Gupta, the designer behind Ashish, sent this gingham gown down his spring runway he probably entertained thoughts of red carpet glory…
