Lovey parks, gardens and buildings!
Great travelogue pix Alan! Good foodie tip too!! Thanks :o) Cheers, Ann.
Good that you took the opportunity to have a look around Gotha and take some pictures. I've been there twice on business, but I never really saw very much and haven't made a VT page on Gotha, just one Off the Beaten Path tip on my Eisenach page.
Another place where I just passed through by train...
Thanks for showing me Gotha! Would love to visit that area and I love to eat Thuringer Bratwurst :))
Nice page too here like tho other
an interesting page bringing back great memories ! ...and now I am hungry for a Thueringer Rostbratwurst !!
Looks like a beautiful town. I wonder why they needed such an enormous castle. Excellent pictures, Alan.

I'm trying to call the wp_list_categories function twice but this gives me a MySQL error.
My reason for wanting to do this is I want to list the contents of 2 parent categories seperately without including the parent category in the list.
I'm using the following code I get the error.

Browse By Location

<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=id&show_count=1&use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=1&title_li='); ?>

Browse By Rating

<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=id&show_count=1&use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=8&title_li='); ?>

However, if I just call the function once I don't get the error.
When try to call the funtion twice I get one category list being displayed and the other I get the following error.
Warning: join() [function.join]: Bad arguments. in /home/saigonho/public_html/wp-includes/category.php on line 290
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') AND post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish'' at line 1]
SELECT post_id, category_id FROM wp_post2cat LEFT JOIN wp_posts ON post_id = ID WHERE category_id IN () AND post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish'
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/saigonho/public_html/wp-includes/category.php on line 300
I'm also running PHP 4.4.6 and MySQL 4.1.21 if that helps.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Say I want some functions to deal with some file, and I was considering 2 options.
1) Create a class like
SavedDataHandler that a user could use like this....
// Note that SavedDataHandler has no members. It just has functions that operate on a
// resource ( the file)
SavedDataHandler gameSave;
gameSave.SaveData( arg1, arg2 ); // to save data
gameSave.DeleteSave(); // Delete the save
2) Create a namespace of functions
namespace SavedDataHandler {
SaveData( ... ) { ... }
DeleteSave( ... ) { ... }
that a user would call like
SavedDataHandler::SaveData( arg1, arg 2 );
What would be preferred?
P.S. I thought about this when I was thinking about Scott Meyer's recommendation to prefer non-member non-friend functions to member functions. I've run into decisions where I have a function (usually some private member function to help the class do stuff), that could easily be made into a non-member since it doesn't operate on class privates.
However, the function is only used by that one class. Of course, the program might evolve to a point where another class may need it, but I find it hard to find a place for these non-member functions. It's easy when you have a lot of functions with a general purpose, but I find single non-member functions hard to organize into a specific place, and find that leaving it as a member keeps things clean. Any tips regarding this issue?

"My mathematical lecturers never showed me any reason to suppose probability theory was anything but a tissue of fallacies."
Professional Mathematicians working in old fields of maths (and thus probably encumbered with a bad formalism) should revise their arrogant stance which concerns of immediately dismissing any critique of bad notation which is commonly met in books etc. and should not explain everything by appealing to intuition.
I just noticed, math.SE doesn't accept user that are older than 93 and younger then 93. I wonder what the next young Terence Tao should do, if he wants to post on this forum and let his age be known.

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
There's NIS.
Pick one, and google for a howto. There are plenty out there.
There's also doing some research before you ask a question (which is why I downvoted this question).
Is Google broken??
LDAP is what you're after... on Linux I'll believe you'll use OpenLDAP. There is plenty of material available for setting this on a number of different distributions.
All the information you need is there, and in the documentation for the various different Linux distrbutions.
Use Active Directory/LDAP for that. Basic google search for active directory integration with linux will shield lot of results. Here is a basic guide: http://rjalan.blogspot.com/2008/03/ubuntu-710-server-and-active-directory.html
LDAP/NIS would also work.

Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I bought my Toyota Land Cruiser new and I still love it! My husband, two teenagers, and myself all fit comfortably in this vehicle. I bought it because we needed a reliable vehicle that would be roomy enough for my family. This vehicle has the same design as the Lexus SUV but for a cheaper price. A few of the things I enjoy about my Land Cruiser is that it rides smoothly during road trips, it has a DVD player that helps keep the kids entertained, and there is enough cargo space for groceries or luggage even with the third row up. There is also a luggage rack on the top to provide more cargo space if needed. There are a lot of nice features in the inside of the vehicle. The dashboard features are especially attractive. It also rides comfortably in the city. One con is of course the gas mileage in the city is not as good as on the highway. The gas tank is 23 gallons, so filling up can be costly. Another pain is that the original sound system is not as powerful as it should be for a large SUV. Maybe if the sound system was a Bose system, it would better. One last con is the ride can be a bit noisy from the outside noise while driving on the highway.

The purpose of the traffic assignment problem is to obtain a traffic flow pattern given a set of origin-destination travel demands and flow dependent link performance functions of a road network. In the general case, the traffic assignment problem can be formulated as a variational inequality, and several algorithms have been devised for its efficient solution. In this work we propose a new approach that combines two existing procedures: the master problem of a simplicial decomposition algorithm is solved through the analytic center cutting plane method. Four variants are considered for solving the master problem. The third and fourth ones, which heuristically compute an appropriate initial point, provided the best results. The computational experience reported in the solution of real large-scale diagonal and difficult asymmetric problems—including a subset of the transportation networks of Madrid and Barcelona—show the effectiveness of the approach.

Bell Palsy Topic Guide
Bell's Palsy: Bell's palsy is the sudden weakness of one side of the face. It is often temporary and may be triggered by stress, trauma, fever, tooth extractions, or viral illness. Bell's palsy resolves on its own. Medication and/or electrostimulation may be used to ease symptoms or shorten the course of the attack.
Must Read Articles:
Shingles Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. Initially, the virus causes chickenpox. The virus remains dormant in the body until the virus is reactivated by a trigger such as stress, fatigue, cancer, radiation treatments, injury, HIV/AIDS, or a weakened immune system. Symptoms include pain in a broad band on one side of the body, fever, chills, headache, itching, and a red, raised rash. Treatment may incorporate pain medication, applying cool compresses, and avoiding skin-to-skin contact with others.

"The Martian Chronicles," a seminal work in Ray Bradbury's career, whose extraordinary power and imagination remain undimmed by time's passage, is available from Simon & Schuster for the first time.
In "The Martian Chronicles, "Ray Bradbury, America's preeminent storyteller, imagines a place of hope, dreams, and metaphor of crystal pillars and fossil seas where a fine dust settles on the great empty cities of a vanished, devastated civilization. Earthmen conquer Mars and then are conquered by it, lulled by dangerous lies of comfort and familiarity, and enchanted by the lingering glamour of an ancient, mysterious native race. In this classic work of fiction, Bradbury exposes our ambitions, weaknesses, and ignorance in a strange and breathtaking world where man does not belong.
About the Author
In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury, who died on June 5, 2011 at the age of 91, inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create. A prolific author of hundreds of short stories and close to fifty books, as well as numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, teleplays, and screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most celebrated writers of our time. His groundbreaking works include Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. He wrote the screen play for John Huston's classic film adaptation of Moby Dick, and was nominated for an Academy Award. He adapted sixty-five of his stories for television's The Ray Bradbury Theater, and won an Emmy for his teleplay of The Halloween Tree. He was the recipient of the 2000 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the 2004 National Medal of Arts, and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation, among many honors.
Throughout his life, Bradbury liked to recount the story of meeting a carnival magician, Mr. Electrico, in 1932. At the end of his performance Electrico reached out to the twelve-year-old Bradbury, touched the boy with his sword, and commanded, "Live forever!" Bradbury later said, "I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped."

Alleged ATM thief arrested
THIBODAUX — A 42-year-old from Cut Off is accused of stealing an ATM machine from a Golden Meadow bar last week.
Robert "Skunky" Bourgeois, 362 W. 59th St., is charged with simple burglary Wednesday for allegedly taking the ATM and the $2,000 it contained from Baby Dolls, 20540 La. 1, Golden Meadow, after closing time on Feb. 4.
Bourgeois remained at the Lafourche Parish jail Friday in lieu of a $5,000 bond.
Woman allegedly forged checks
HOUMA — A Houma woman was arrested on multiple counts of forgery Thursday, following a Terrebonne Sheriff's Office investigation of an unexplained bank overdraft at the company where she worked.
Cynthia Ann Cisneros, 42, 1300 Laban Ave., Apt. 72, was jailed on 25 counts of forgery.
Reports said she had been employed in the offices of Gator Machine Works and had access to its bank accounts. Investigators reportedly discovered that she had written checks to herself totalling more than $12,000, forging the signature of her employer and depositing them into her own account.
Since the checks were not included in company records, the activity was not discovered until the bank notified company officials of an overdraft.
Cisneros allegedly told investigators that she was struggling with a drug problem.
Detention-center suit sealed by judge
HOUMA — A judge has ordered a second lawsuit against Terrebonne Parish government and former detention-center guards sealed at an attorney's request.
The suit was filed Jan. 5 and sent to Judge Johnny Walker with a motion asking it be kept from the public record. Walker granted the request this week.
Besides the parish, the suit names former guards Angelo Vickers, Floyd Howard and Darwin Brown as defendants. Each were arrested last year in connection with allegations that guards had sex with inmates.
The plaintiff is not identified in court records. Todd Joffrion, the Houma attorney who filed it, did not return a call for comment.
Here's a list of Carnival closings
HOUMA — Government offices and schools in Terrebonne and Lafourche will close part of next week for Mardi Gras.
All parish government offices will close Monday and Tuesday.
SWDI's Tuesday pick-up service has been moved to Friday.
Good Earth buses will run this weekend and all next week, including Mardi Gras Day, but routes will be adjusted around parades and buses will not follow normal schedules. Call 850-4616 for details.
Terrebonne public schools and offices will close Monday through Wednesday. In Lafourche, public schools will close Tuesday through Friday, and the School Board office will close Monday and Tuesday. Catholic schools will be closed Tuesday through Friday; offices are closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
Gyms' repair talk on tap Thursday
HOUMA — Houma recreation officials will meet next week to hire a company to repair two public gyms.
The East Houma Gym on Boundary Road and the West Houma Gym on Williams Avenue both sustained severe roof, floor and interior damage during Hurricane Gustav and remain closed.
Recreation District No. 11 Board will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Mechanicville Gym on Senator Street. For details, call 873-6497.
Courier phones temporarily disabled
HOUMA — The Courier's telephone lines will disabled from 8 to 11 a.m. today while work crews move underground lines.
Customers requiring assistance should call 438-6069.

Mr. Bad Boy himself, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, could not keep it together when Barack Obama was announced President-elect Tuesday night.
"I was straight up crying," he confesses. "I was with my kids. It was a beautiful thing. I just thank God my prayers were answered."
A greater gift? It happened on his 39th birthday.
"I don't know why God blessed me by having my birthday [on Nov. 4], but we're here to celebrate 80 percent of Obama being elected and 20 percent my birthday," Diddy told reporters Wednesday night at a celebration sponsored by Ciroc Vodka at Mansion nightclub in New York.
Some of his celebrity guests: Mary J. Blige, Ben Stiller, Cassie, Cedric the Entertainer, and Pete Wentz.
Wentz, who told PEOPLE he would not exist if it weren't for Vice President-elect Joe Biden (his parents met on a Biden campaign), arrived with Diddy. The dad-to-be says he's happy his unborn baby was able to "help change America" by being in the voting booth with his pregnant wife, Ashlee Simpson.
"I have a 'You Voted' sticker in [the] baby book," says Wentz.
Meanwhile, Cedric the Entertainer says his son Croix, 8, was full of questions: " 'What does the president do and what does it mean? And how old is Barack's little daughter?'" I was like, 'That's what I'm talking about,'" the comedian joked. " 'Make that move!'"
On a more serious note, he says: "It was elating and it was just amazing talking to [him] about it."
Though she wasn't at the birthday party, Beyoncé Knowles did rearrange her schedule to make sure she would be in America on election night. The R&B starlet was scheduled to promote her upcoming album, I Am … Sasha Fierce, in Japan but postponed her apperance at the last minute.
"I said, 'What am I doing? I'm completely making a bad decision. I have to go home, I'm gonna kill myself if I'm not home in America,'" she told the AP. "I knew I needed to be here."
Knowles watched the election results at home with friends and family – while wearing a blue suit and tie with matching red, white and blue stilettos.
"I've never been so patriotic!" she said. And, like Diddy, she was moved to tears. "I fell asleep crying and smiling at the same time … I woke up with mascara running and a smile on my face!"
Should Obama require her services, the singer is game: "Whatever they want – if they need me to volunteer, they need me to sing, I'm there and I'm ready."
But what is most important, Knowles said, is that the newly elected president has provided inspriration for African Americans.
"My nephew, who is 4, when we say, 'You can do whatever, you can be whatever,' it's not cliche," she explained.
The Obamas spill on family life on the cover of PEOPLE!

LETTER: Step up support for Alzheimer's patients
Published: Sunday, June 15, 2014 at 5:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 15, 2014 at 5:15 p.m.
Our 10th annual Walk to Remember will be coming up in August and every penny earned will be used locally to help families, friends and neighbors in West Alabama. Last year, a national Alzheimer's organization decided to have a walk in Tuscaloosa. As you decide where you want your generous donations to go, please be aware that there are two "walks."
We encourage you to continue your support of Caring Days by participating in our Walk to Remember by having a walk team, being a sponsor or by making a contribution. This year's event will be held inside University Mall from 8-10 a.m. on Aug. 23. For information, call 205-752-6840.

BATH, Maine (AP) -- Bath Iron Works is getting ready to bring fuel aboard the Navy's biggest destroyer in preparation for firing up some of the world's largest marine turbines this summer.
Shipbuilders will be working methodically in the coming weeks to bring JP-5 military-grade jet fuel aboard the ship and flush the systems before lighting off the turbines and activating the ship's high-tech electrical systems. It's a complicated process for the first-in-class Zumwalt.
"Because it's the lead ship, we're doing everything in a very deliberate and painstakingly accurate and detailed way," shipyard spokesman Jim DeMartini said.
Those turbines _ similar to units in the Boeing 777 _ won't propel the ship. They'll provide the grunt for generators that produce electricity that drives the ship.
Around the world, there are other electric-drive warships. But this is the first time the U.S. Navy has built a surface combatant using electric propulsion since a line of destroyer escorts in the 1940s.
For now, the Zumwalt remains a work in progress.
On a recent day, shipbuilders worked throughout the 610-foot-long vessel, testing various systems using land-based electricity. There were wires dangling, false ceilings, and tools and portable equipment throughout the interior.
Rolls-Royce modified its Boeing 777 turbo fan engines, each of them enclosed with an automated fire suppression system deep in the belly of the ship. Banks of high-voltage electrical switches and voltage converters lend the appearance of a power plant.
"It's the heart of the ship," said shipyard program manager Todd Estes, who served as an engineering chief aboard a Spruance-class destroyer before leaving the Navy.
The ship itself will boast plenty of new technologies: an angular shape to reduce radar signature; a gun with rocket-propelled projectiles; new radar and sonar systems; missile launchers that deflect explosions outward; heavy use of automation; and a new hull shape. All told, there are 2.3 million feet of electric cabling and 1,300 automated valves aboard the ship, Estes said.
The ship also has tremendous electrical capabilities. The two main generators, along with two auxiliary units, can produce 78 megawatts, enough electricity for about 10,000 homes.
All the power can be diverted to where it's needed, ship propulsion, or weapons or radar.
Down the road, there's enough juice to operate an electromagnetic rail gun, a futuristic weapon designed to fire projectiles at hypersonic speeds, said Norman Friedman, author of books including "U.S. Destroyers and Illustrated Design History" and the U.S. Naval Institute's "Guide to World Naval Weapon Systems."
Such a system could be a game-changer in the future, Friedman said. "The thing that sold electric drive was the promise of electric weapons like the rail gun," he said.

Recently, I wanted to check if my Chrome was the newest one.
So I clicked the "About Google Chrome" button, and it showed updating. I closed the updating dialog and went back to the main UI.
I couldn't browse correctly anymore... things like closing a tab or opening a new tab - it totally seemed like Chrome suspended.
In the end, I had to stop the process in task manager.

That's there way of making sure you go. Sucker. I hope whatever happens SUCKS.
are they planning a surprise party for you on that night or something? i don't get it...
reverse psychology advertising? that comes with a misleading return address? very odd
That's some good sticky promotion right there. Learn from it, people.
Don't go. Send spys.
Seattle School - meh.
AFAIC, they blew their load - artistically speaking - at the Genius Awards in - what? - 2004? And that was only noteworthy due to it's overwhelming awfulness. They haven't done anything worth mentioning since then ("Motel" might be the sole exception, but the success of that had far more to do with the other artists involved, IMO.)
Ohmigod, that is just so fucking clever that I'm about to shit myself, that's how incredibly clever that is.
it may not be the most novel approach, but it's still the one that works best. the most successful corporate online advertising so far (from a clickrate p.o.v.) was a campaign with black banners that had nothing but "don't click here" on them. you can count on people not wanting to do what they're told.
I think Christopher sent this to himself, from the future, as a warning to everyone to not fuck with time travel and the time/space continuum...
or a dumb person got confused when they were addressing the envelope...
Oh I get it, reverse psychology.
Or rather, "GENIUS".
Maybe they figured hey, if for some reason it isn't deliverable, it will get another shot when USPS attempts to return it.
*Their. Holy shit.
Wow. You're easy.
they just wanted to save on postage.
Reminds me of the gimmick of the old "No Way Cafe" on Jefferson Street. They thought it would be funny and clever to display a permanent "Closed" sign near the front door as part of their theme. They eventually closed down for some reason.
That always worked real good on the kids down the street I used to babysit.
The Malfeasance FourSounds like someone has been reading Lemony Snickets, still, I guess it's consistent, "Cover: NO ONE ADMITTED", that would be a recalibration of the usual business model.
Pecuniary Recalibration #1
One way to get on chic mailing lists is to have...an enormous penis!
I think I watched this episode, No. 11: Christopher Frizelle travels back to the past, meets his younger self, falls in love, and becomes his own father!
Right? Right?
@22 -- Close! Like his father, he has...an enormous penis!
I suggest that you seek legal advice from competent legal counsel, because that little note may be advising you that you run a risk of being cited for trespass if you do attend.
Way to be on acknowledging receipt of the notice, by the way. Not that I'm giving you legal advice, just a thought to consider.

Energy conversion is a core Bosch area of expertise. Bosch offers owners of residential and commercial buildings packages that combine technology and services. Bosch solutions intelligently link and control the generation and consumption of power and heat. This will make the power supply even smarter and more efficient, as well as more decentralized. Boschs expertise spans multiple areas here. Its technical systems know-how is the basis of heating and security control systems. The company also offers software and sensor technology as well as services for energy management, remote monitoring, and the handling of business processes. This allows customers to use energy and resources more efficiently, and to reduce costs. The internet of things makes it possible for devices and systems in buildings to communicate with one another.
By 2015, Bosch expects about 75 percent of the world's population to have access to the internet. At the same time, six billion things will be connected to the internet. This development will also bring about major changes in the market for energy and building technology in the coming years, and will pave the way for new services and business models. Bosch already has considerable experience in this realm, for instance with the 50,000 networked heating systems it has already sold. Bosch Security Systems already generates more than half its sales in the video surveillance segment with internet-enabled cameras.
Smart thermostat to control the heating at home via smartphone
Bosch is presenting a wi-fi-enabled remote room controller with a modern touch screen and a corresponding app, which allows users to control their heating systems via their smartphones. Compatible with a wide range of Boschs Greenstar gas and oil-fired boilers, the sophisticated smart thermostat allows heating to be adjusted from a smartphone or tablet using a wireless internet connection. The sleek black glass wall-mounted panel is simple to install and connects to the boiler using a low voltage two-wired connection. Through an easy-to-use free app, homeowners can take complete control of their heating and hot water, whether at home, at work, or on holiday. The app not only allows remote adjustment of heating and hot water settings, but also provides valuable information on gas consumption for both heating and hot water, helping homeowners to manage bills in an era of rising energy costs. And users can rely on the extremely high safety and data security standards Bosch has developed. Since all customer data is stored on the controller at the users home, privacy is assured Bosch itself has no access to the data.
Open software platform for the smart home
For a home to be smart, it is crucial that all the appliances and systems in the home e.g., washing machine, heating units, lamps or window blinds can simply and securely exchange data with each other as well as with smartphones and tablets. ABB, Bosch, and Cisco plan to establish an international joint venture that will develop and operate an open software platform for smart home devices and applications. In addition to developing and operating a software platform, the companies intend to invite appliance electronics manufacturers, home automation vendors, and service providers to join a business ecosystem. The business ecosystem will aim to facilitate collaboration and incorporate a wide range of user requirements when developing the software platform.
Home Connect app connects home appliances from different brands
A common language for all domains is decisive when it comes to the connected home. Bosch is presenting the world's first solution that allows various home appliances from different brands to be controlled and a host of features used with just one app. In addition, Bosch is showcasing the first networked home appliances equipped with this system, including a fridge, an oven, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. The system is designed as an open platform that will keep evolving to cover a growing range of services.
Smart energy system increases efficiency and saves costs
Bosch is demonstrating how smart connectivity can be implemented for electrical and thermal energy using a photovoltaic system combined with the latest in heat pump technology. This solution allows users to consume the lion's share of the electricity they themselves generate from solar power in their own homes which significantly reduces their electricity costs while also powering the heat pump so it can extract heat from the air, water, or ground and convert it into energy that can be used for heating or hot water. The Bosch system features an energy management system that knows when the heat pump requires electricity and provided there has been enough sunshine answers that need with solar power.
At the heart of the smart control system is e.Control, which is connected to the household's electricity meter and monitors power flows within the home. The system is designed to always prioritize supply to any home appliances currently in operation. Should the photovoltaic system connected to a Bosch inverter generate any surplus power, e.Control sends a signal to the heat pump to heat the hot water tank. This means optimum use is made of the household's solar power, since it avoids feeding any surplus electricity into the grid at too cheap a price. What's more, it relieves the public grid.
Smart energy storage solution
Integrating the Bosch Power Tec BPT-S 5 Hybrid storage solution into this energy system boosts the degree to which a household can make use of self-generated electricity from the photovoltaic system. Even when the sky is overcast or after sunset, the storage system continues to provide the heat pump with a reliable supply of electricity. If the storage system has been integrated, any surplus electricity is sent to the powerful lithium-ion batteries before a signal is sent to the heat pump. When the hot water tank is heated, electrical power is converted into thermal energy, which in effect increases the stored energy. So running such a system is a large step toward achieving independence from the public grid.
Smart security systems for enhanced security at home
Another innovation being presented is a way to access surveillance video remotely. Limited bandwidth makes it impossible to stream HD video on mobile devices whereas dynamic transcoding technology delivers both smooth live video streaming and instant access to HD (1080p) images when needed, regardless of available bandwidth. Combined with the Video Security app, users are allowed access to camera controls, live video streams, and HD images via a mobile device anytime and from anywhere. It also enables users to instantly retrieve the correct video data from hours of recorded material.
Bosch is also showcasing burglar alarm systems. The B-Series intrusion control panels provide convenient security monitoring of homes and small businesses. These flexible panels offer customized security and remote operation from smart phones and tablets. B-Series panels can be programmed to control individual rooms or up to four distinct areas of a home or business property. This enables arming or disarming certain areas such as a guest suite, sunroom, kitchen, or detached garage without affecting other rooms. The panels check for open windows and doors, monitor smoke detectors, activate panic devices and perform other services to keep homes and businesses secure. The Remote Security Control app allows system operation from iOS or Android devices. Arm or disarm the system, check status and control monitored devices over the panels cellular connection, the internet, or through a local wireless network using a hand-held device. Event notifications such as alarms or other warnings can also be sent directly to mobile phones to keep owners informed about the status of their homes or businesses while they are away.
In addition, Bosch is presenting the Z-Wave Home Control Gateway. This solution allows Bosch B-Series control panels to be connected with Z-Wave devices including lighting controls, door locks, temperature sensors, IP cameras, and more, in order to provide customers with home automation and remote monitoring capabilities. Programming possibilities include automatically arming the security system when an exterior door is locked or disarming the system when the door is unlocked. When a user leaves home, tapping an away button on a smartphone can also trigger the doors to lock, the security system to arm, interior lights to turn off and the thermostat to adjust to conserve energy and reduce costs. These are just a few of the options available for effortless home control, as the intuitive wizard makes it easy for integrators to program trigger- or schedule-based automation tailored for each customer. A web interface allows the user access to a system dashboard and home control via an iOS or Android smartphone or other web-enabled device.
Smart mobility solutions: more safety and convenience on the road
20 years ago, the internet revolutionized computing. Over the next few years, it will revolutionize the car. At the CES, Bosch is demonstrating how it is making cars an active part of the internet and bringing drivers a range of benefits. Bosch already has extensive know-how in all relevant areas. The company offers hardware that establishes the connection to the outside world, a flexible basic software suite that brings together service providers and users, as well as numerous related services.
The physical enabler for any smart solution is Boschs connectivity control unit. This small box is connected to the in-car network and comprises a GMS module for communication, and usually also a GPS module that provides data on the current position important information for many services. Bosch offers the unit in various configurations for applications in passenger cars, trucks, as well as motorcycles. As early as 2016, for example, Bosch expects every new long-haul commercial vehicle in Europe and the United States to be offered with a networking solution.
The wholly-owned subsidiary Bosch Software Innovations offers a modular software suite that can be flexibly utilized. For example, it has been in use as the basis for a networked and easy-to-use vehicle charging infrastructure in Singapore since 2011 and as the basis for a fleet management service in Germany since 2013. From 2015, it will form the platform for an innovative intermodal transportation concept in Stuttgart.
Boschs new telematics services provide greater transparency and a clearer overview for fleet operators. Via the interface for the on-board diagnosis (OBD) system in the vehicle, journey and service data is sent to Bosch for data analysis. On the basis of this evaluated data, the fleet operator can optimize operating and maintenance times. Thanks to the integration of GPS vehicle tracking, services such as an electronic logbook and a theft warning system are also available. This helps to reduce the overall cost of the vehicle.
A truly lifesaving solution is the in-vehicle emergency notification service eCall. If the system detects that the vehicle has been involved in an accident, this information is sent to a Bosch communication center which is manned around the clock. The centers multilingual associates contact the driver and alert the police as well as emergency services if necessary.
Bosch is pushing connectivity forward in workshops
Connectivity doesnt end when the car has to go in for service or repair. Since vehicle electronics are getting ever more powerful and complex, Bosch has made it possible for workshops to access certain vehicle data helpful for error diagnosis and repair online. Boschs Flex Inspect diagnostic system can automatically read out the fault memory, check the battery, tire inflation pressure, and chassis geometry. On the basis of this, a customer service advisor is able to immediately discuss any necessary repairs with the driver. During the repair work, the technician can make use of augmented reality technology. After focusing the diagnostics tablet computers camera on the engine compartment, relevant information such as repair instructions and necessary tools are superimposed on the image. The time-consuming consultation of service manuals is thus unnecessary. Even parts that are hidden behind covers or the dashboard can be depicted as three-dimensional images. Error diagnosis and repair has never been so easy.
New display techniques and an appealing smartphone integration solution
On one hand, new connected services are leading to an ever increasing amount of information. On the other hand, driver distraction must be minimized. At the CES, Bosch is showcasing technical solutions that help to prioritize information and display it in a highly intuitive way. A particularly attractive approach is display-based instrument clusters. These replace conventional displays and project all of the instrument, navigation, and multimedia information into the driver's field of vision. Depending on the situation and the drivers wishes, they offer different layouts. Two Bosch solutions for fully display-based instrument clusters are already in series production in the BMW i8 and the Audi TT, with more to come. Another cost-effective solution is the Bosch combiner head-up display. The system does not project the information onto the windshield but instead onto a small special plastic screen positioned below it. This image is superimposed on the scenery outside the vehicle in such a way that these appear to merge with one another at a distance of around two meters in front of the vehicle. Since 2014, the system has been installed in a variety of BMW Group vehicles.
Connectivity with the outside world is currently achieved mainly via the smartphone. With its mySPIN solution, Bosch is offering a highly appealing way to integrate Android-based phones as well as iOS-based ones. mySPIN creates a perfect device-vehicle link and ensures much safer and more reliable in-car use. Other Bosch infotainment systems being showcased at the CES demonstrate natural voice input or a navigation system that offers a proactive driving strategy based on real-time traffic info. To keep the new assistance and convenience functions up-to-date, the Bosch subsidiary ESCRYPT is showcasing a solution for secure wireless software updates.
Assisted driving and e-bike demos at the Vehicle Intelligence Marketplace
The mobility of the future is electrified, automated, and connected. At the outdoor area of the vehicle intelligence marketplace, Bosch is showcasing innovations that bring us a step closer to automated driving. A demonstration vehicle featuring the Bosch traffic jam assistant will prove that self-guided driving in heavy traffic already has become reality. The car can brake, accelerate, and steer within its lane completely independently. The driver still has to monitor the vehicle, but the overall burden is much lower. Visitors are also welcome to try out e-bikes of various brands featuring Bosch e-bike drive units on a dedicated course. There will also be an overview of Boschs various sensor technologies as well as its wide range of electromobility solutions, from e-bikes and e-scooters to hybrid and fully-electric vehicles.
Smart devices, software, and sensors
Bosch is the global market leader in the area of microelectromechanical sensors (MEMS), a key technology when it comes to connecting things over the internet. Today, every second smartphone in the world is equipped with Bosch sensors. Bosch's strategic aim is to offer solutions for connected mobility, networked production, as well as for networked energy systems and buildings. Intelligent sensors represent the next level of technical advancement. These are equipped with a radio interface and a microcontroller. As a result, sensors are able to transmit relevant data via the internet, for instance to mobile end devices. Software integration is decisive for the next wave of advancement in micromechanics, which are already widespread in automotive and consumer electronics.
All objects can be fitted with sensors and wi-fi devices and assigned their very own web address for exchanging data. This connectivity is the cornerstone of the internet of things. It is what makes connected living happen. Bosch provides sensors for a wide range of uses in the automotive and consumer electronics applications. Every second smartphone in the world is equipped with a Bosch sensor. Following the technological trend to a greater range of measurable variables and increased intelligence, Bosch Sensortec will unveil a new multi-functional sensor at CES 2015 that integrates four measurands, enabling a new range of applications in areas such as consumer electronics, wearables, and the IoT. Bosch brand Akustica will also highlight its high-performance, HD voice microphone portfolio.
The aim is to transmit only relevant information to the internet, and not raw data. This local data processing calls for the special kind of systems know-how that Bosch brings to the table. But there is practically no limit to what can still be connected via sensors. As a result, things that were free of electronics in the past, such as doors and windows, will be able to transmit data on their status to the internet. In brief, micromechanics make the internet of things possible. With its new company Bosch Connected Devices and Solutions GmbH, Bosch aims to develop new solutions in this realm. The company focuses on the segments Smart Home, Transport, Logistics and Traffic, Smart Activity, and Connected Industry.
A new dimension in charging: Bosch Wireless Charging System
Bosch is the world's first supplier to enable the advantages of inductive energy transfer to be used with cordless tools. With its Wireless Charging System, Bosch is presenting a new dimension in charging technology and providing new ways to make working with cordless tools efficient, cost-saving, and time-saving. The technology, which is used in other areas in devices such as charging stations for electric toothbrushes and recently also in cellphones, is based on contactless energy transfer. An alternating magnetic field is generated in the transmitter using a coil. The receiver also contains a coil which is penetrated by the alternating magnetic field. This induces a voltage and generates a current flow. In the case of Bosch's Wireless Charging System, this means that the charger emits a magnetic field which is received by the battery and transformed into charging current. However, the power transferred is more than 50 times greater than that used in ordinary electric toothbrushes (one watt), in order to reach the same charging times as those provided by conventional power tool battery chargers.
3D printer for creative and functional purposes
The Bosch brand Dremel is presenting the Dremel 3D Idea Builder, the most user-friendly 3D printing experience on the market. This adds a new dimension to the brands robust portfolio of versatile tool systems. The Idea Builder is yet another high-quality, easy-to-use tool from Dremel designed to inspire and empower the end users to build on their own ideas with the support and mentorship of the Dremel Experts. Through a strategic partnership with Autodesk, Dremel will provide free print-ready 3D models and simple design tools, while continuing to release new design tools on www.Dremel3D.com to coach users through the building process.

McALLEN, Texas (AP) - Emergency officials in Texas are ready to
order 1 million people evacuated from the impoverished Rio Grande
Valley ahead of Hurricane Ike.
Forecasts show Ike blowing ashore this weekend somewhere along
the Texas Gulf Coast, possibly as a major hurricane. It's picking
up strength as it moves over the warmer waters of the Gulf after
ripping through Cuba and now has top winds of 80 miles-an-hour.
Texas officials have lined up nearly 1,000 buses in case they're
As of 11 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday, Ike's center was about 120 miles west of Havana.
Texas emergency planning officials met throughout the day Tuesday and are considering a mandatory evacuation for coastal counties close to the Mexican border. If they do order one, they would have to convince tens of thousands of illegal immigrants that they have less to fear from the Border Patrol than from the storm.
Federal authorities say they won't check people's immigration status at evacuation loading zones or inland checkpoints. But residents remain skeptical.

Overview: Film Analysis
Film analysis is the process in which a film is analyzed in terms of mise-en-scène, cinematography, sound, and editing. Different authors suggest various approaches to film analysis. There is no universal method of film analysis, and film analysis can never be concluded as there will always be something more to explore. It is necessary for a student to gain knowledge about film history in order to perform a film analysis. During this class I will use several recognized approaches: (1) Text-based film analysis (structural approach), (2) topic based analysis (narrative approach), (3) picture and sound approach (iconic analysis), (4) psychoanalytical approach and (5) historical approach.
But above all else, this class is a journey in understanding of our cultural heritage in the world of film.
Potential Studies
Course Requirements
This course requires extensive reading, writing, research, and class discussion.
A project related to the study of film will be required during the first 2 week of the 4th marking period. This project a comprehensive presentation based upon the student's area of interest. The Choice of Focus for the Film Project must be approved. Requirement: must contain MLA source citations and must be creative.

Yongnuo announces YN568EX II flash unit with wireless master control
Shenzhen-based manufacturer Yongnuo has announced a new flash unit called the YN568EX II. Yongnuo revealed the new flashgun in a post on Sina Weibo, the Chinese micro-blogging site, where the company published a picture and a brief outline of the specs.
The YN568EX II will be capable of acting as a master controller for Yongnuo and Canon EX-series speedlites. Other details include a guide number of 58 (at Iso-100, 105mm), E-TTL, high-speed sync, manual mode, stroboscopic mode and a three-second recycle time.
It is the first flashgun from Yongnuo to offer the wireless master feature and therefore the first that can be compared directly to Canon's own (now discontinued) 580EX II. Unlike the newer Canon 600EX-RT and Yongnuo YN560-III, however, there will be no radio triggers built into the YN568EX II. Potential competitors include the Phottix Mitros, Godox ThinkLite TT680 and Oloong SP-700.
No mention is made of a Nikon version. Since the YN500EX model is now being touted as a "YN568EX Mini", it is possible that in the future Yongnuo will also bring out a YN500EX II — as a YN568EX II in a smaller form factor.
Pricing and availability have not been announced. For reference, the original YN568EX currently goes for about US$170 on eBay.

Now we're talking, this is the first flash from Yongnuo that can do it all. I'll definitely consider this as I'm really happy with my YN565 but miss the master feature and HSS.
external power source and it make sense!
Mike Ross
Still missing a port for external power supply. Considering Yongnuo makes the SF-18, why wouldn't they want to include the port?

Seems like they missed the boat when they didn't include radio.
Oh please get them to include an external power port on this one!!! It's the only reason I didn't buy a bunch of the 568 mk1's!

With no press release, and no word despite direct questions about this flash to Yongnuo, I'm going to raise the B.S. flag on this rumor. At best, I suspect they were floating a trial balloon to see what the market might think. I hope I'm wrong
Don't worry. You were. 🙂
Does anybody know a US store that sells the YN568 II (for Canon)?
All I found were ebay and amazon sellers from China. Does anybody have experience with taxes when you buy from a chinese reseller?
Any idea when the 568 II for NIkon will be released?
What does it mean that no radio triggers are included?
