This application is a divisional of, and claims priority to, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/834,458, filed on Apr. 16, 2001. The systems and methods described herein relate to earlier filed British patent application No. 0009129.8 and earlier filed U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/703,502, as well as the U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/835,679, filed on Apr. 16, 2001, all of which name Majid Anwar as an inventor, and the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
The systems and methods described herein relate to systems and methods for viewing and manipulating a display of digital documents, and more particularly to user interface systems and methods that allow a user to manipulate and view a digital document presented on a display, such as the display of a hand held electronic device, such as a computer, mobile communicator or phone; or a display device associated with a tactile commander.
Today, there is a strong effort to build mobile and handheld computing devices that easily allow users to view documents, email, video presentations, and other forms of content. To achieve this convergence, engineers and scientists have developed systems including the systems described in the above-referenced U.S. patent application entitled, Systems and Methods for Processing Digital Documents, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. As described therein, digital content, whether a document, audio visual presentation, or some other type of content, is processed by a software system operating on a handheld device, mobile device, or some other platform, and translated into a uniform internal representation that can be processed and manipulated by the software system so that a display of different types of content can be generated by the system and presented on the screen display of the respective device.
These systems, as well as other handheld and mobile computing systems such as the Palm Pilot, Compaq Ipaq, and mobile phones, are therefore capable of providing a display of content to a user. However, these handheld and mobile systems are typically limited to simple input devices such as small and limited keyboards, commonly the keyboards present on a cellular phone, or by small touch screen systems, such as the touch screens provided with the Palm computing device. Therefore, although these systems are capable of presenting content to a user wherein the content can be quite complex, these systems have limited capacity to allow a user to manipulate the display of that content, such as by paging through the different pages of a document or selecting different portions of a document. Therefore, although these handheld and portable systems may be quite useful, there are limitations to their use based in part on the user interfaces available for supporting the manipulation and viewing of the content presented on these devices.
Consequently, there is a need in the art for systems and methods that provide improved user interface tools that make it more facile to manipulate and view content presented by a handheld or portable device.
Additionally, there is a need in the art for user interface tools that allow for the manipulation of content, when that content is separated from its native application program.
The systems and methods described herein provide advanced user interface tools that allow a user to more easily manipulate and view content presented on a mobile device or handheld device. In one particular embodiment, the systems and methods described herein provide a graphical user interface that exhibits a touch and feel user interface experience. More specifically, the systems and methods described herein include hand-held or mobile computer devices having a system for simulating tactile control over a document which may be viewed on the device itself or through a remote instruction or remote instruction or remote display on another unit. These systems may include a housing which supports a processor, memory, and a touch-sensitive display (or display with remote touch-sensitive control), system code stored within the memory and adapted to be executed by the processor. The system code may generate or provide a digital representation of a document, wherein the digital representation may include data content and a page structure representative of the page layout of the document. Thus, in certain applications the rendered image can include the content of the document as well as the layout of the document, thereby providing an image of what the document physically looks like. The system may also include a rendering engine that may include a parser and a renderer for rendering at least a portion of the page layout of the digital representation on the touch-sensitive display. A screen monitor can monitor the touch-sensitive screen for detecting movement across a surface of the touch sensitive screen, and an interface process can process the detected movement to detect a motion representative of a command to alter the page structure of the digital representation. A navigation module may be responsive to the interface process and can change the rendered portion of the page layout. Thus, by altering the rendered portion of the page layout, the system allows a user to navigate through the digital representation of the document. Although the systems and methods of the invention will have applicability and value when used in other applications and on other types of systems, for purposes of illustration, the invention will be described with reference to those applications where the systems facilitate the navigation of documents presented on a hand-held computing device.
More particularly, the systems and methods described herein provide, among other things, computer devices having a system for simulating tactile control over a document. In one embodiment, these systems comprise a processor, memory, and a display; system code stored within the memory and adapted to be executed by the processor, the system code providing a digital representation of a document including data content and a page structure representative of a page layout of the document; a rendering engine for rendering at least a portion of the page layout of the digital representation on the display; a screen monitor for monitoring the screen to detect movement of an object across an image presented on the display; an interface process for processing the detected movement to detect a motion representative of a command to alter the rendered page structure of the digital representation, and a navigation module responsive to the interface process for changing the rendered portion of the page layout, wherein altering the rendered portion of the page layout allows a user to navigate through the digital representation of the document.
These computer devices can include touch-sensitive displays where the screen monitor monitors a touch-sensitive screen for detecting movement across a surface of the touch sensitive display, as well as computer displays capable of depicting a cursor moving across a screen of the display, and wherein the screen monitor detects movement of the cursor across a surface of the display. The processor, memory, screen monitor and a display may be arranged as a data processing platform useful with a plurality of applications and devices including hand-held computers, telephones, mobile data terminal, a set top box, an embedded processor, a notebook computer, a computer workstation, a printer, a copier and a facsimile machine.
In certain optional embodiments, the computer device may also include a velocity detector for determining a velocity vector associated with motion detected across the surface of the touch-sensitive display, as well as means for applying a velocity characteristic to a document within a display.
Additionally, these computer devices can have an interface processes that make it more easy to navigate through a document or a collection of documents and other content. These interface processes can include a page-flip detector for detecting a motion across the surface of the touch-screen at a location presenting a portion of the page layout graphically representative of a corner of a document. The page-flip detector can render a portion of the page layout representative of a page adjacent a currently rendered page. Similarly, the device can include a page curl detector for rendering a portion of the page layout representative of a portion of a page adjacent a currently rendered page. Additionally, the interface process can include a gesturing process for detecting a predefined movement representative of a command for selecting a portion of the page layout to be rendered, or for altering data content of the digital representation of the document. Still further interface controls include processes for controlling a transparency characteristic of a document presented on the display and for controlling a transparency characteristic of selected portions of the document for adjusting visibility of the selected portions relative to other portions of the document. Other interface processes can provide tools, including tools representative of a magnifying tool, a ruler, a text entry cursor, a thumbnail navigation column, a thumbnail view of linked content and a query tool.
In still other aspects, the invention provides computer devices, and related processes, having a context sensitive graphical interface tool. These devices may comprise a processor, memory, and a touch-sensitive display; a content document file stored in the memory and being representative of an internal representation of the content; a tool document file stored in the memory and providing an internal representation of a document providing an image that is representative of the graphical interface tool; tool code capable of running of the processor and being associated with the tool document file and capable of processing the content document file to create an internal representation of the content that when rendered presents the content in a manner that achieves a display effect associated with the tool; parsing code that processes the content document file, the tool document file, and the processed internal representation to generate a screen document for display, and; interface code capable of running on the processor for allowing a user to arrange the image of the graphical interface tool into a selected contextual relationship over the rendered content and for directing the tool code to process a portion of the content document file associated with the selected position.
The contextual relationship between the graphical interface tool and the rendered content can vary depending upon the application, and may for example be selected from the group consisting of the relative position of the graphical interface tool and the rendered content, the time at which the graphical interface tool acts on the rendered content, and the state of the rendered content. These devices are flexible and may be embodied in different forms and devices, including, but not being limited to, a hand-held computer, a telephone, mobile data terminals, a set top box, an embedded processor, a notebook computer, a computer workstation, a printer, a copier, and a facsimile machines, as well as in car systems, and domestic devices such as audio players, microwaves, refrigerators, and washing machines.
However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that these interface tools may be employed in other applications including applications wherein content is displayed on a conventional computer workstation that includes typical input tools such as a standard keyboard and a mouse. Additionally, it will be understood that the systems and methods described herein also provide useful tools for providing interfaces for embedded display systems, such as embedded visual displays employed as output devices. Examples of such embedded display systems can include cellular phones, copy machines that include a visual touch screen display that allows a user to select different options for performing a copy job and which may also present images to the user of the documents being copied. Other examples may include fax machines wherein visual displays are provided to a user to allow a user to view a depiction of an incoming fax. Other embodiments and applications of the user interface systems and methods described herein will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.
More particularly, the systems and methods described herein provide user interface tools that allow a user to manipulate content displayed on a screen. In particular, the systems and methods described herein provide software systems that create an abstraction layer for information that is to be presented on a display. This abstraction layer includes a document object wherein a document object contains information, or content, that is to be displayed on a screen. In one implementation, all information displayed on a screen is treated as one document. Thus, at the highest level, the entire contents of a screen is understood as one document object. Further to this embodiment, it will be understood that a document object may contain other document objects, each of which may contain a subset of the content displayed to the user. Thus, at the screen level, all information displayed will be understood as a single document wherein items, such as web pages, streamed video, and graphical icons, presented on the screen are each understood separately as document objects contained within the high level screen document object. Therefore, all content displayed on a screen is treated abstractly as a document, and this paradigm holds whether the content being displayed is information representative of a page of text or information representative of a user interface tool or window/desktop furniture. Accordingly, the user interface systems and methods described herein provide user interface tools and functionality for allowing a user to manipulate document objects presented on a screen display.
Additionally, the systems and methods described herein provide, in one embodiment, a handheld computing device that comprises a housing which supports a processor, memory, and a touch sensitive display. Further, the computing device may include system code stored within the memory and adapted to be executed by the processor. The system code can process an input byte stream that is representative of content to be displayed on the touch sensitive display and can generate a content document file representative of an internal representation of the content. A tool document file may also be stored in the memory and may provide an internal representation of a document providing an image that is representative of a graphical tool. Associated with a tool document can be tool code that is capable of processing the content document file to create an internal representation of the content that presents the content in a manner that achieves a display effect associated with the tool. The device may also include parsing code that processes the content document file, the tool document file, and the processed internal representation to generate a screen document for display on the touch sensitive display in a manner that portrays the display effect.
The foregoing and other objects and advantages of the invention will be appreciated more fully from the following further description thereof, with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein;
The systems and methods described herein include systems and methods for manipulating and viewing documents displayed on a viewing surface such as a computer terminal, a display screen, a printer, plotter, or any other output device suitable for creating a visual representation of human readable information. For the purpose of illustration, the systems and methods will be described with reference to certain exemplary embodiments, including hand held computer systems that include touch screen displays and which are capable of displaying an integrated view of content produced in different formats. In particular, the systems and methods described herein include graphical user interface tools that are capable of presenting tools that can be presented as content that will be integrated along with other content being displayed on the screen.
In the depicted embodiment, the display 26 can present the images of a plurality of different documents. Each of the representative outputs appearing on display 26 is termed a document, and each of the depicted documents can be associated with one separate application program, such as Word, Netscape Navigator, Real Player, Adobe, Visio and other types of applications. It will be understood that the term document as used herein will encompass documents, streamed video, web pages, and any other form of data that can be processed and displayed by the computer process 8.
The computer process 8 generates a single output display that includes within that display one or more of the documents. The collection of displayed documents represent the content generated by the application programs and this content is displayed within the program window generated by the computer process 8. The program window for the computer process 8 may also include a set of icons representative of tools provided with the graphical user interface and capable of allowing a user to control the operation, in this case the display, of the documents appearing in the program window.
For the illustrated embodiment, the display 26 presents content representative of different data types in a single, integrated display. This is in contrast to the conventional approach of having each application program form its own display, which results in a presentation on the display device 26 that includes several program windows, typically one for each application program. Additionally, each different type of program window would include a different set of user interface tools for manipulating the content displayed in that window. Thus, the system depicted in
To allow a user to manipulate the depicted documents, the system 10 depicted in
As discussed above, each source document 11 is associated with a document agent 12 that is capable of translating the incoming document into an internal representation of the content of that source document 11. To identify the appropriate document agent 12 to process a source document 11, the system 10 of
As shown in
Once documents are translated into an internal representation of document objects; these objects are passed to the parser/renderer 18. The parser/renderer 18 generates a context-specific representation or "view" of the documents represented by the internal representation 14. The required view may be of all the documents, a whole document or of parts of one or some of the documents. The parser/renderer 18 receives view control inputs which define the viewing context and any related temporal parameters of the specific document view which is to be generated. For example, the system 10 may be required to generate a zoomed view of part of a document, and then to pan or scroll the zoomed view to display adjacent portions of the document. The view control inputs are interpreted by the parser/renderer 18 to determine which parts of the internal representation are required for a particular view and how, when and for how long the view is to be displayed.
The context-specific representation/view is expressed in terms of primitive figures and parameters. Optionally, there may be a feedback path 42 between the parser/renderer 18 and the internal representation 14, e.g. for the purpose of triggering an update of the content of the internal representation 14, such as in the case where the source document 11 represented by the internal representation 14 comprises a time varying multi-frame animation.
Each source document 11 provides a digital representation of a document, such as a text document, a spread sheet or some other document. The document agent 12 creates an internal representation of that document. In one practice the created digital representation includes information that describes the page layout of the document, including information about page size, margins and other page layout information. The digital representation also includes information about the content of the source document, such as the text, figures, and other content information that appears in the document. Processes for translating a known file structure into another structure are known in the art, including systems that identify page structure and content information. Any of the suitable techniques for performing this operation may be practiced without departing from the scope of the invention.
The output from the parser/renderer 18 expresses the document in terms of primitive figures. For each document object, the representation from the parser/renderer 18 defines the object at least in terms of a physical, rectangular boundary box, the actual shape of the object bounded by the boundary box, the data content of the object, and its transparency. The shape processor 22 interprets the primitive object and converts it into an output frame format appropriate to the target output device 26; e.g. a dot-map for a printer, vector instruction set for a plotter, or bitmap for a display device. An output control input 44 connects to the shape processor 22 and can deliver user interface control signals to generate an output suitable for a particular output device 26. Thus, the parser/renderer 18 and the shape processor 22 can act as an engine that renders portions of the page layout and page content on the display 26.
Turning to
Accordingly, the screen document 42 is an integration and aggregation of information contained within a source document 11 and a tool document file 30. An application program associated with the tool document file 30 can process the appropriate content to create the enlarged view 50. The magnifying tool 48 and the associated source code are capable of identifying that portion of the screen document 42 that is to be presented in an enlarged format to create the enlarged view 50. The tool code is further capable of processing the selected content to create the enlarged view 50 and clip that enlarged view within the lens area of the magnifying glass 48 to achieve the display affect of an enlarged region of the screen 26. Thus, the tool document and the source document 11 are in the same internal representation, and thus can be merged into the screen document 42, that can be rendered by the parser/renderer 18.
In one embodiment, the graphical tool 50 may be moved over the screen by dragging with a cursor, or if a touch-sensitive screen is present, by dragging a stylus or some other pointer across the screen of the display. To process this movement, the display 26 may include a screen monitoring process for monitoring the screen of the display 26 to detect movement of a cursor, stylus or some other pointer across the images of the documents presented on the screen. Such screen monitoring processes are known in the art and any suitable process may be employed. The monitor process, therefore allows a user sense of tactile control over the visual representation of the document 44. The movements detected by the screen monitor process may be passed to an interface process that processes the detected motion to detect a motion representative of a known command. The interface process may be a separate process or may be part of the screen monitor process, as is common in the art. As the interface module detects commands to move the tool 50, a navigation module can create input signals that direct the parser/render 18 to create a new display for presentation to the user, where in the display will show the tool 50 repositioned as the user wanted.
Accordingly, the system depicted in
As further shown by
Accordingly, as the systems and processes described herein may employ thumbnail images for queuing a user during navigation to generate thumbnail images, the systems and processes described herein can include any suitable thumbnail generator processes including those known in the art, including those thumbnail generations that generate live, or animated thumbnails.
Turning to
As described above, for those systems that include a touch sensitive display the systems and methods described herein may provide for allowing a user to use a stylus to trace markings on the display and these marking may be interpreted by the system for allowing character entry. Additionally,
Additionally and optionally, other user interface processes may be provided to enhance the user experience of having tactile control over the document. For example, the user interface may include a page-flip detector for detecting a motion on the display 26 at a location of the display associated with the upper right hand corner of document 44 in
It shall be obvious to those of skill in the art that although
As discussed above, the user interface systems described above can be realized as a software component operating on a data processing system, including hand-held computing platforms, as well as more conventional computing platforms, such as a Unix workstation. In these embodiments, the user interface systems can be implemented as a C language computer program, or a computer program written in any high level language including C++, Fortran, Java or BASIC. Additionally, in an embodiment where the platform is primarily a microprocessor, microcontrollers or DSPs, the user interface systems can be realized as a computer program written in microcode or written in a high level language and compiled down to microcode that can be executed on the platform employed. The development of such systems is known to those of skill in the art, and such techniques are set forth in the literature, including for example Digital Signal Processing Applications with the TMS320 Family, Volumes I, II, and III, Texas Instruments (1990). Additionally, general techniques for high level programming are known, and set forth in, for example, Stephen G. Kochan, Programming in C, Hayden Publishing (1983). It is noted that DSPs are particularly suited for implementing signal processing functions, including preprocessing functions such as image enhancement through adjustments in contrast, edge definition and brightness. Developing code for the DSP and microcontroller systems follows from principles well known in the art.
Additionally, it is to be understood that although
Those skilled in the art will know or be able to ascertain using no more than routine experimentation, many equivalents to the embodiments and practices described herein. Moreover, the systems and processes of the invention have wide application and can be employed in a range of devices including hand-held computers, telephones, mobile data terminals, set top boxes, an embedded processor, a notebook computer, a computer workstation, a printer, a copier, facsimile machine and other systems. Additionally, it will be understood by those of skill in the art, that the systems described herein may be practiced with any suitable interface devices, including touch-sensitive screens and pads, mouse input devices, keyboards and keypads, joysticks, thumb wheel devices, a mouse, a trackball, virtual reality input systems, voice control systems, eye movement control systems, and any other suitable devices. Thus, it will also be understood that the systems described herein have many uses and provide advantages over the prior art including providing a set of interface processes and systems that provide sophisticated manipulation of different document types.
Accordingly, it will be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the embodiments disclosed herein, but is to be understood from the following claims, which are to be interpreted as broadly as allowed under the law.

Cashmere. Mmmsoft. Softly soft. Like its slightly older sibling, this is basically the gel-powder MagiX but with colour. Avon says it's a liquid mousse, which is still true, I think, and that it gives a luminously flawless finish.
It has all the qualities of the first-born, including the 30ml flat squeezy tube, a pleasing and not overwhelming smell, a supersoft texture, SPF protection (10), and a superb blendability. I found that, as much as I shook the tube, the texture of this Cashmere version of MagiX was runnier, more drippy-ploppy than the other, and there was always rogue liquid. Imagine, if you will, the extra "juice" that comes with cottage cheese, and you'll have a slightly distorted idea of what I mean. MagiX isn't in the least cheesy; it's just that the liquid is annoying and, if you forget it might be there, it may well run down your hand.
My pale fair pale cool-toned pale skin can be annoying to match a foundation, concealer, powder, or other to but the ivory shade of this seems to be a fairly (ha, pun) good match. It's not perfect, but nor does it make me look orange. It does give a nice, "healthy" (a rare thing for me, but that's a whole big, long story...) glow/look/appearance/whichever word you might choose.
Again, like the colourless MagiX (but not the Illuminating one, as I've not bought or tried it... yet)), this Cashmere version of Magix seems to magically smooth away pores, making them look blurred, which would be the soft-focus look referred to by Avon in the product description. It really do do that! It really does. It blends very easily, giving light coverage. Like other foundations or concealers, if your skin is just a tiny bit dry and/or flaky - have you met my face, reader? - Cashmere will probably have a tendency to look cakey, but I think it'd be quite hard to apply it heavily, such is its lightness and thinness when blended. Happily, it's one of those products that will last a fair old while, and a little squirt of it will go a long way.
I bought this when it wasn't sold at its full price, as is usual for me, but I think it was about £4, as an introductory offer or something similar. This is good, for me, but I don't think I'd pay the full price of around £10 for it, since I don't regard it as a staple, undoubtedly necessary, utterly vital part of my face. But it's more than a nice enough thing to use, certainly.

Both Greenplum and Truvisio had people invited, and if you recall when organising the meeting I repeatedly asked everyone to point out if I'd missed anyone. My primary concern when inviting people was to invite the most highly active developers. Secondary to that, I made a point of inviting at least one senior person from each of the major PostgreSQL contributing companies, including both of those organisations. *No* companies were intentionally excluded, and I assure you that except where funding was concerned, the meeting was organised entirely with my core hat on. EDB paid for the lunch and the room, largely because when considering holding another community meeting in NJ (as you've previously attended), Denis and I figured that a much more open meeting would be more useful to everyone, so I set about to organise exactly that. If you wish to 'right the wrong' that you see, then next year 2nd Quadrant are more than welcome to pay for the food and conference room, and I will continue to organise the event. I really don't care who pays for the chairs and sandwiches. > I am worried about contribution > levels from all companies and also note that EnterpriseDB's real > contributions to the community of late are not significantly larger than > 2ndQuadrant's, now you've spurred me to think about the topic. I'm not going to go into specifics, but code contributions to the server are by no means the only contributions EnterpriseDB make to the community. We're doing a lot of marketing work to try and help drive adoption of PostgreSQL, and reaching out into other communities with new tools and other code contributions to help them move to PostgreSQL. I spend significant amounts of time working on community 'stuff' that you probably don't see so much these days, as does Bruce (contrary to rumours spread by Denis at pgCon :-p), and EDB staff help people out on various mailing lists every day. > What can > we do to actively encourage participation from all companies? Now *that* is a good question. The primary driver for a company to contribute to the community is of course that they will gain from it. The tangible benefits to Truvisio and Greenplum are obviously far less than they are to 2nd Quadrant or EnterpriseDB because their businesses are built around such heavily modified versions of the server. I don't see that we can necessarily change that. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

Lisa Smosarski is Stylist's editor. She lives in north London with her husband, Richard, an entrepreneur and co-owner of Energeno, and their son Dylan, 10 months
I get up at 6am and make a large mug of decaf Earl Grey tea before Dylan wakes up. I choose my outfit depending on my mood. I love Reiss, Whistles and Mulberry, and my staples are a By Malene Birger blazer and Kurt Geiger heels. They hide my biggest secret: I'm smaller than most people realise.
I only spend five minutes applying my make-up. I use Crème de la Mer, my one indulgence, as well as Bobbi Brown concealer and Mac blusher, eyeliner and mascara. I'm more obsessed with my hair, which I usually straighten as it's rather high-maintenance, and I feel unnerved if I'm without a spritz of Estée Lauder Tuberose Gardenia.
I leave the house at around 7.30am and start my day's work on the bus I like to check my emails so I know what I'm walking into! At Stylist, no two days are the same. My morning will often start with a breakfast meeting over smoked salmon and scrambled eggs at The Wolseley or a bagel at my desk. The day's activities then vary between discussing each department's new ideas, visiting photo-shoots, meeting advertisers, previewing fashion collections, attending or presenting award shows or brainstorming features with the team over lunch.
The day we launched Stylist was the most exciting of my career. A team of just 10 of us had worked through the night for weeks to create the first issue and we really had no idea what the reaction would be. Finding hundreds of congratulatory emails, flowers and cupcakes land in the office hours after we hit the street was a real pinch-yourself moment.
I think one of the keys to Stylist's success is that it's a really collaborative effort. In our weekly cover meeting I like to let the conversation flow – the best ideas are always buried at the end of a discussion. Take our cover on why successful women are ending up alone. We brainstormed how to picture it and after playing around we finally struck gold with a slightly sinisterlooking cat, one of my all-time favourite covers. Every team member has a steer on the direction which the cover takes which I really encourage.
Another privilege of the job is the opportunity to meet interesting people and see the world, whether that's lunching at Claridge's with Victoria Beckham, reviewing an incredible hotel suite for our travel page or feeling humbled in a room of inspiring women at the Women Of The Year awards.
But life at Stylist is not all glamour. Much of my time is spent trying to stretch our budget, dealing with the 300 emails I receive each day or going over an article with a fine-tooth comb. As a team we strive for perfection and put ourselves through the paces to make every issue the best it can be, but we support one another too. Stylist's philosophy is about liking women, and we practise what we preach.
Work extends into my evenings, too. I regularly get together with other editors in my role as this year's chair of the British Society of Magazine Editors. Contrary to popular belief, we enjoy spending time together – and we're not like The Devil Wears Prada stereotype in the slightest.
If I'm spending the evening at home, I'm out of the door as close to 5pm as possible to put Dylan to bed, before cooking a meal for me and Rich – during the week it's got to be quick especially as I usually have to finish off my day's work after dinner.
The last two years have been a whirlwind of getting married, moving house, launching Stylist and having a baby. I never imagined the scale and speed at which Stylist would grow – it certainly keeps my hands full, but that's the dream for every editor!

Kolar (Karnataka), April 5 (ANI): With the successful flight of Nishant, the indigenous unmanned air vehicle (UAV), a new chapter has been added in the annals of Indian Aviation.
It was witnessed at Veerapura, a small village, eight kilometres from Kolar in Karnataka, where from the abandoned runway of World War II vintage, the indigenous Nishant, jointly designed and developed by National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), a Council of Industrial and Scientific Research (CSIR) lab, Vehicles Research and Development Establishment VRDE (VRDE), Ahmednagar and Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE), Bangalore, took off.
The flight took off at 1157 hours in the morning of March 31 and climbed to an altitude of 1.8 kilometres effortlessly before cruising for a duration of 35 mts.
The air vehicle was recovered safely at the intended place in dried up Muduvadi lake after a total flight duration of 40 mts.
The event was witnessed by key personnel, P.S. Krishnan, Director ADE, Dr C.L. Dhamejani, Director VRDE and Dr. AR Upadhya, Director NAL, Regional Director RCMA and Regional Director, AQA and other senior officers.
The Wankel engine is first of its kind totally designed and developed in the country. Today, very few countries in the world have the capability to develop and master this technology.
The provisional flight clearance for the first indigenous prototype engine was given by the certifying agency, RCMA in a short ceremony held at the launch pad. The engine was cleared for flight after a rigorous ground and endurance test run.
The engine weighs about 30 kgs and is known for its high power to Weight ratio in single rotor category. The engine performed very well in flight while meeting all the requirements of the Air Vehicle.
It's an indigenous engine and is expected to replace the present imported engine of Nishant.
The engine has a power of 55 hp and can also be used for powering smaller air vehicles, automotive, Out Board Motors, and Industrial applications.
The event signifies an achievement in many ways, as it is for the first time that a wankel engine has been developed within the country and a UAV has been flown with an indigenous engine. It is planned to use this developed technology for future application for the Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV)'s under development in ADE, Bangalore.
NISHANT is a reconnaissance UAV which has completed its user trials with Indian Army and is in the verge of handing over few of these air vehicles to Indian Army very shortly. (ANI)

Olay Ultra Moisture In-Shower Body Lotion Reviews

no more razor burn!Every time I shave, I've always gotten razor bumps afterwards. If I use lotion (I've tried dozens), it clogs my pores and gives me bumps; if I don't use lotion, my legs feel like they're on fire and itch until I do use lotion. But NO MORE! I used this lotion in the shower and my legs immediately felt better, and hey stayed that moisturized and not at all itchy or bumpy right up until my next shave. I was skeptical at first, but now I can't live without it! — 9 years, 8 months agosammie | 3 reviews

Over at our neighbor blog Risk Factor, Bob Charette has an interesting post on robots and ethics and the views of Ronald Arkin [photo, right], of Georgia Tech, and Noel Sharkey, of the University of Sheffield:
Government Computer News had a nice little story on the ethics of robot warriors a short time ago. It talked about the work of Georgia Institute of Technologyâ''s Mobile Robot Laboratory professor Ronald Arkin and his attempts to define algorithms to define ethical behavior in machines that can follow norms like the Geneva Convention.
In an AFP news story, Dr. Arkin is quoted last month as saying, "Robotics systems may have the potential to out-perform humans from a perspective of the laws of war and the rules of engagement," since with robots "there are no emotions that can cloud judgment, such as anger."
Arkin's work has direct relevance to another robot story in this week's London Telegraph and the aforementioned AFP story about University of Sheffield's Department of Computer Science professor Noel Sharkey's belief that the major powers are "sleepwalking" into an international robot arms race, and predicted "that it is only a matter of time before robots become a standard terrorist weapon, replacing suicide bombers."
As my blog colleague Mikell noted before, How can we make sure ethics and technology develop at the same pace?

Beauty Biography of Phylicia Rashad
Bella Donna: Phylicia Rashad
Come on, admit it. When you hear the name Phylicia Rashad, you can't help but get all nostalgic. I know I do. The actress, who started her career in the theater in the 1970s, moved to the soaps in the early '80s, when she portrayed a lawyer on One Life to Live. Best remembered for her role as the no-nonsense mom and attorney Clair Huxtable, on The Cosby Show, Phylicia is one timeless beauty.
Phylicia is still active in both the theater and television, winning a Tony, Emmy, and NAACP Image Award for her Broadway and TV roles in A Raisin in the Sun. A supporter of the Fine Arts in Education, Phylicia is also a member of Broadway Inspirational Voices and supports the PRASAD Project, a charitable organization.
With that sparkling smile (her father and first husband were both dentists) and classy hair and makeup, Phylicia never fails to look age appropriate, polished, and sophisticated. In December she was named a spokesperson for Jenny Craig. Of her weight-loss experiences, Rashad recently told ET, "It's not about the way you look, it's about the way you are. It's not about how I look, it's about the way I am." I couldn't agree more.

Dict. def. of Corpus: The dead body of a person; a complete collection of writings on some subject or some period; the whole body; material substance of anything. (Latin; CORPUS CHRISTI BODY OF CHRIST.) (Latin corporatus: to form into a body.) (Corporation: A number of persons united, or regarded as united, in one body: Group of persons with AUTHORITY to act as a single person. (Matt. 28:18—ALL AUTHORITY has been GIVEN Me in heaven and on earth. (19)"GO therefore and MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL THE NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the FATHER, and of the SON and of the HOLY SPIRIT, (20) teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you, and lo I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN TO THE END OF THE AGE. (NKJV) (The KJV says, and lo, I am with you always even unto the end of the world.)
(Eph. 5:30—For WE are members of HIS BODY, of His FLESH, and of HIS BONES. (32) This is a GREAT MYSTERY, but I speak concerning Christ and HIS CHURCH. Acts. 20:28—Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all THE FLOCK, among which the HOLY SPIRIT has made you overseers, to SHEPHERD the CHURCH of GOD which HE PURCHASED with His OWN BLOOD. (Eze.34:29—I will raise up for them a garden of renown, and they shall no longer be consumed with hunger in the land, nor bear the shame of the Gentiles anymore. (30) Thus they shall KNOW that I, THE LORD THEIR GOD AM WITH THEM, and that they THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, (Gen.35:10—And God said to Him, Your name is JACOB, your name shall NOT be called JACOB anymore, but ISRAEL shall be your name.) (Ps.24:6—THIS is JACOB, the generation of those who SEEK HIM, who SEEK YOUR FACE.)
Returning to Eze.34:30--are MY PEOPLE, says the Lord god. (31) YOU ARE MY FLOCK, the FLOCK of MY PASTURE; you are men, and I am your GOD, says the Lord God. (Luke 12:32—FEAR NOT little FLOCK, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you THE KINGDOM.) (Ps. 74:1—O God, why have You cast us off forever? Why does Your anger smoke against THE SHEEP of YOUR PASTURE? (2) Remember YOUR CONGREGATION, which YOU HAVE PURCHASED of old, The tribe of YOUR INHERITANCE, which you have REDEEMED—This MOUNT ZION where You have dwelt. Eze. 34:6—My SHEEP wandered through all of the mountains, and on every high hill, yes, MY FLOCK was SCATTERED over the WHOLE FACE OF THE EARTH, and NO ONE was SEEKING or SEARCHING for THEM. (7) Therefore, you SHEPHERDS, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD: (8) As I LIVE, says the Lord God, surely because MY FLOCK became a prey, and MY FLOCK became food for every beast of the field, because there was NO SHEPHERD, NOR DID MY SHEPHERDS SEARCH FOR MY FLOCK, but the SHEPHERDS fed themselves and did NOT feed MY FLOCK—(11) For thus says the Lord God: Indeed I MYSELF will SEARCH FOR MY SHEEP and SEEK THEM OUT. (12) As a SHEPHERD SEEKS OUT HIS FLOCK on the day he is among HIS SCATTERED SHEEP, so I WILL SEEK OUT MY SHEEP and DELIVER THEM from all the places where they were SCATTERED on a CLOUDY and DARK DAY. (13) And I will BRING THEM OUT FROM THE PEOPLES and GATHER THEM from the countries, and I will bring them back to THEIR OWN LAND. (15) I WILL FEED MY FLOCK, and I will make them lie down, says the Lord God.)
Jere.31:10—HEAR the WORD OF THE LORD, O NATIONS, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He who scattered ISRAEL will GATHER him, and KEEP him as a SHEPHERD does his FLOCK. (11) For the Lord has REDEEMED JACOB, and RANSOMED him from the hand of one stronger than he. (12) Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of ZION, streaming to THE GOODNESS of the lord--
Heb.10:5—Therefore when He came into the world He said: SACRIFICE and OFFERING You did NOT desire, BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME. (6) In burnt offerings and SACRIFICES for SIN You had NO pleasure, (7) Then I said, BEHOLD, I HAVE COME—IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK it is written of Me—TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD. (8) Previously saying, SACRIFICE and OFFERINGS and OFFERINGS for SIN You DID NOT DESIRE, nor had pleasure in them which are offered according to THE LAW. (9) Then He said, "Behold I have come to DO YOUR WILL O GOD. He takes away THE FIRST that He may establish THE SECOND. (10) BY THAT WILL (to do Your will O God.) we have been sanctified through THE OFFERING OF THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST ONCE FOR ALL. (Heb. 9:28—So Christ was OFFERED ONCE to bear the SINS of many. To those who EAGERLY WAIT for Him He WILL APPEAR A SECOND TIME APART FROM SIN FOR SALVATION.)
(Returning to Heb.10:12—But THIS MAN, after HE HAD OFFERED ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS FOREVER, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD. Heb. 1—Now this is the main point of what we are saying: We have such A HIGH PRIEST, who is SEATED at THE RIGHT HAND of THE THRONE of the MAJESTY in THE HEAVENS. (2) A Minister of the sanctuary and of THE TRUE TABERNACLE which the LORD ERECTED and NOT man. (Ps.79:68—But CHOSE the tribe of JUDAH MOUNT ZION which He loved. (69) AND HE BUILT HIS SANCTUARY like THE HEIGHTS, like THE EARTH WHICH HE HAS ESTABLISHED FOREVER.)
Heb.3:14—For it is EVIDENT that our Lord AROSE from JUDAH, of which TRIBE Moses spoke NOTHING concerning PRIESTHOOD. (15) And it is yet far more EVIDENT if, in the LIKENESS of MELCHIZEDEK, there ARISES ANOTHER PRIEST, (16) who has come, NOT according to the LAW of a fleshly commandment, but according to THE POWER OF AN ENDLESS LIFE. (17) For He testifies: "You are a PRIEST FOREVER according to THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK. (18) For THE LAW made NOTHING PERFECT; On the other hand, THERE IS THE BRINGING IN OF A BETTER HOPE, THROUGH WHICH WE DRAW NEAR TO GOD. (20) And inasmuch as He was not made PRIEST WITHOUT AN OATH, (21) BUT HE WITH AN OATH by Him who said to Him: The Lord has sworn and WILL NOT RELENT You are A PRIEST FOREVER according to the order of MELCHIZEDEK.(28) For the LAW appoints as HIGH PRIEST men who have weakness, but the word of THE OATH which came AFTER THE LAW, appoints THE SON WHO HAS BEEN PERFECTED FOREVER.
Returning to Heb.5:5—So also Christ did not GLORIFY Himself to become HIGH PRIEST, but it was He who said to Him: YOU are MY SON, today, I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU.(The second Ps goes on to read: Yet I have set My King on My HOLY HILL of ZION, You are My Son, today I have begotten You. Ask of Me and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance and the ends of the earth for Your possession.) Returning to Heb 5:6--As He also says in another place; YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZDEK.
(Ps. 110:4—The Lord has SWORN and will NOT RELENT, YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK. (Looking back at verse 1—The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My RIGHT HAND, TILL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES YOUR FOOTSTOOL. (Heb.10:12--But this man after He had OFFERED ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS FOREVER, sat down at the RIGHT HAND of GOD, (13) from THAT TIME WAITING TILL HIS ENEMIES ARE MADE HIS FOOTSTOOL. (14) For by ONE OFFERING He has PERFECTED FOREVER those who are being SANCTIFIED. (15) And THE HOLY SPIRIT also WITNESSES to US; for after He had said before, (16) THIS IS THE COVENANT that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR HEARTS, and IN THEIR MINDS I will write them, (17) then He adds, "THEIR SINS and THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE." (18) NOW when there is REMISSION of THESE, THERE IS NO LONGER AN OFFERING FOR SIN. (2 Corin. 5:19—that is that God was in Christ RECONCILING the WORLD to HIMSELF, NOT IMPUTING THEIR TRESPASSES TO THEM, and has committed to us the word of RECONCILATION.)
Col. 2:11—In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the BODY of the SINS of the FLESH, by the circumcision of Christ, (12) BURIED WITH HIM in BAPTISM in which you ALSO WERE RAISED WITH HIM through FAITH in THE WORKING OF GOD, who RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD. (13) And YOU, being DEAD in your TRESPASSES and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made ALIVE TOGETHER WITH HIM, HAVING FORGIVEN YOU ALL TRESPASSESES, (14) having WIPED OUT the HANDWRITING OF REQUIREMENTS THAT WAS AGAINST US, which was CONTRARY to US. And HE HAS TAKEN IT OUT OF THE WAY, HAVING NAILED IT TO THE CROSS. (15) Having DISARMED PRINCIPALITIES and POWERS, HE HAS MADE A PUBLIC SPECTACLE OF THEM, TRIUMPHING OVER THEM IN IT. (Eph.6:12—For we do NOT wrestle against FLESH and BLOOD, but against PRINCIPALITIES, against POWERS, against the rulers of THE DARKNESS of THIS AGE, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.) (Eph.3:10—To THE INTENT that NOW the MANIFOLD WISDOM of GOD MIGHT BE MADE KNOWN BY THE CHURCH to THE PRINCIPALITIES and POWERS in THE HEAVENLY PLACES, (11) according to the ETERNAL PURPOSE which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.)
Returning to Rom.6:3—Or do you NOT KNOW that as many of us as were BAPTIZED into Christ Jesus were BAPTIZED into His DEATH? (4) Therefore we were BURIED with Him through BAPTISM into DEATH, that just as CHRIST WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD By THE GLORY OF THE FATHER, even so we also should walk in NEWNESS of LIFE. (5) For if we have been UNITED TOGETHER in THE LIKENESS of HIS DEATH, certainly WE ALSO SHALL BE IN THE LIKENESS of HIS RESURRECTION. (8) Now if we DIED with Christ, we BELIEVE THAT WE SHALL ALSO LIVE WITH HIM. (Ps. 71:32—THE HUMBLE shall see this and be glad; and YOU WHO SEEK GOD, YOUR HEARTS shall LIVE. (35) For GOD WILL SAVE ZION and BUILD the CITIES of JUDAH. That they may dwell there and POSSESS it.)
Returning to Ps.110:2--The Lord shall send the ROD of YOUR STRENGTH out of ZION. RULE IN THE MIDST OF YOUR ENEMIES. (4) The Lord has sworn and will NOT relent, You are A PRIEST forever according to the order of MELCHIZEDEK. Heb.7:12—For the PRIESTHOOD being CHANGED, as of necessity there is also A CHANGE OF THE LAW. Is. 2:3—Many people shall come and say, "come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord. To the house of the God of JACOB. (Ps. 24:6—This is JACOB the generation of those who SEEK Him, who SEEK Your FACE.) Returning to 2:3--He will teach us HIS WAYS, and we shall walk in HIS PATHS. For out of ZION shall GO FORTH THE LAW, and the WORD OF THE LORD FROM JERUSALEM. (Ps.25:4—Show me YOUR WAYS, O Lord; TEACH me YOUR PATHS. (5) LEAD me in YOUR TRUTH and TEACH ME. (12) Who is the man that fears the Lord? Him shall HE TEACH in THE WAY that HE CHOOSES. (13) He himself shall dwell in prosperity, and his DESCENDANTS shall INHERIT THE EARTH.)
Ps.40:6—SACRIFICE and OFFERING You DID NOT DESIRE; My ears You have opened; Burnt offerings and SIN OFFERING You DID NOT REQUIRE, (7) Then I said, "BEHOLD, I COME; IN THE SCROLL OF THE BOOK it is written of me. (8) I DELIGHT to DO YOUR WILL, O MY GOD, and YOUR LAW is within my heart. (9) I have proclaimed THE GOOD NEWS of RIGHTEOUSNESS in THE GREAT CONGREGATION; indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O Lord, You Yourself know. (10) I have NOT HIDDEN YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS within my heart; I have declared Your FAITHFULNESS and Your SALVATION; I have NOT concealed Your LOVINGKINDNESS and Your TRUTH from THE GREAT CONGREGATION.
(Ps. 22:25—My PRAISE shall be of You in THE GREAT CONGREGATION I will pay MY VOWS before those who fear Him. (26) The poor shall eat and be satisfied; THOSE WHO SEEK HIM will PRAISE the Lord. Let your heart LIVE forever! (27) ALL THE ENDS OF THE WORLD shall REMEMBER and TURN to THE LORD. And ALL the FAMILIES of THE NATIONS shall WORSHIP BEFORE YOU. (28) for the kingdom is THE LORD'S and HE RULES OVER THE NATIONS. Ps. 65:1—PRAISE is awaiting You, O God, in ZION; and to You THE VOW shall be performed. (2) O You who HEAR PRAYER to YOU ALL FLESH WILL COME. (5) By AWESOME deeds in RIGHTEOUSNESS You will ANSWER US, O God of our SALVATION, You who are THE CONFIDENCE of ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. Ps. 2:6—Yet I have set My king on My HOLY HILL of ZION. (7) I will declare the decree the Lord has said to Me, YOU ARE MY SON, today I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU. (8) ASK of ME and I WILL GIVE YOU, THE NATIONS for YOUR INHERITANCE and THE ENDS OF THE EARTH for YOUR POSSESSION.
Is. 45:22—LOOK to ME and BE SAVED, ALL YOU ENDS OF THE EARTH! FOR I AM GOD and THERE IS NO OTHER, (23) I have SWORN by MYSELF; THE WORD HAS GONE OUT OF MY MOUTH IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, and shall NOT RETURN, that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath. (24) He shall say SURELY in the LORD I have RIGHTEOUSNESS and STRENGTH. To Him MEN SHALL COME, and all shall be ashamed who are incensed against Him. (Isaiah 46:12—Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted, who are FAR from RIGHTEOUSNESS. (13) I bring MY RIGHTEOUSNESS NEAR, it shall NOT be far off; MY SALVATION shall NOT linger. And I will PLACE SALVATION IN ZION, for ISRAEL MY GLORY. (Is.62:11—Indeed the Lord has proclaimed to THE END OF THE WORLD: "Say to the daughter of ZION, surely YOUR SALVATION IS COMING; Behold His reward is with Him, and HIS WORK BEFORE HIM. (12) And they shall call them the HOLY PEOPLE, the REDEEMED of the Lord: and you shall be called sought out a City NOT forsaken.
(Ps. 129:5—Let all those who hate ZION be turned back.(8) NEITHER let those who pass by them say, "The blessing of the Lord be upon you; we bless you in the name of the Lord.) (Ps. 132:13—For the Lord has CHOSEN ZION; He has desired it for HIS HABITATION; (14) THIS is My RESTING PLACE FOREVER; HERE I WILL DWELL, for I have DESIRED IT. (Heb.4:1—Therefore, since a PROMISE REMAINS OF ENTERING HIS REST, let us FEAR lest any of you seem to HAVE COME SHORT OF IT. For indeed THE GOSPEL was preached to us as well as to them, BUT THE WORD WHICH THEY HEARD DID NOT PROFIT THEM, NOT BEING MIXED WITH FAITH in those who HEARD it. (3) For we who have believed DO ENTER THAT REST, as He has said: "So I swore in MY WRATH, they SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.) (Ps.95:10—For forty years I was GRIEVED with THAT GENERATION, and said, IT IS A PEOPLE WHO GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEARTS, and they DO NOT KNOW MY WAYS. (11) So I SWORE IN MY WRATH, they shall NOT ENTER MY REST.) 1 Thess.5:9—For God DID NOT APPOINT us to WRATH, but to OBTAIN SALVATION through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ps.25:4—Show me YOUR WAYS, O Lord; teach me YOUR PATHS. (5) Lead me in YOUR TRUTH and TEACH me. (12) Who is the man that fears the Lord? Him shall HE TEACH IN THE WAY HE CHOOSES. (13) He himself shall dwell in prosperity, and HIS DESCENDANTS shall INHERIT the earth. (Ps. 115:16—The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's; BUT THE EARTH he HAS GIVEN TO THE CHILDREN of MEN.)
Pro. 13:12—Hope deferred makes the heart sick, BUT when THE DESIRE COMES, IT IS A TREE OF LIFE.) (Pro. 11:30—The FRUIT of the RIGHTEOUS is A TREE OF LIFE, and he who wins souls is wise.
Rom 10:4—For Christ is the end of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESSS to everyone who believes. (3) For they being IGNORANT of GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS, and seeking to ESTABLISH their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have NOT submitted to THE RIGTEOUSNESS of GOD. (Matt.6:33—But seek FIRST the kingdom of God and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.) Returning to Rom.10:8—But the RIGHTEOUSNESS of FAITH speaks in this way, "Do not say IN YOUR HEART, who will ASCEND into HEAVEN, (7) or Who will DESCEND into the abyss? (8) But what DOES IT SAY? The word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart. (9) that if you CONFESS with YOUR MOUTH the Lord Jesus and BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART that GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED. (14) How then shall they call on Him in whom they have NOT believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have NOT heard? And how shall they hear WITHOUT A PREACHER? (15) And how shall they preach unless they are SENT? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who PREACH THE GOSPEL OF PEACE, and bring GLAD TIDINGS of GOOD THINGS! (17) So then FAITH comes by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD OF GOD.
Acts 13:32—And we declare to you GLAD-TIDINGS that PROMISE which was made to the fathers, (Rom.4:13—For the promise that he would be THE HEIR OF THE WORLD was NOT to ABRAHAM or to HIS SEED through THE LAW, but through the RIGHTEOUSNESS of FAITH.) Returning to Acts 13:33—God has FULFILLED this for US their children, in that HE HAS RAISED UP JESUS. As it is also written in the second Ps: "You are My Son, today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give you the nations for Your inheritance and the ends of the earth for Your possession.) (Returning to Acts 13:47--I have SET YOU AS A LIGHT to THE GENTILES, that YOU SHOULD BE MY SALVATION TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. Is.42:6—I the Lord, have CALLED You in RIGHTEOUSNESS, and will hold Your hand; I WILL KEEP YOU and GIVE YOU ASA COVENANT TO THE PEOPLE, AS A LIGHT to THE GENTILES, (7) To OPEN BLIND EYES, to bring out PRISONERS from the PRISON, those who sit in DARKNESS from the PRISON house.
Is.49:6—I will also GIVE YOU AS A LIGHT to THE GENTILES that YOU SHOULD BE MY SALVATION to THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. (8) I will PRESERVE You and GIVE You as a COVENANT TO THE PEOPLE, to RESTORE THE EARTH, to cause them to INHERIT the desolate HERITAGES; (9) That You may say to the PRISONERS, "Go forth, to those who are in DARKNESS, "Show yourselves. Acts 1:8—But you shall receive POWER when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be WITNESSES to Me in JERUSALEM, and in all JUDEA and SAMARIA, and TO THE END OF THE EARTH. Acts 3:19—Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, (20) AND THAT HE MAY SEND JESUS CHRIST, WHO WAS PREACHED TO YOU BEFORE, (21) whom heaven must receive UNTIL THE TIMES OF RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS, which GOD HAS SPOKEN by the mouth of ALL His holy prophets since the world began. (25) YOU are sons of the prophets and of THE COVENANT which GOD MADE WITH OUR FATHERS, saying to ABRAHAM, and in YOUR SEED ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH shall be BLESSESD. (26) To you FIRST, GOD HAVING RAISED UP HIS SERVANT JESUS, SENT HIM TO BLESS YOU, IN TURNING AWAY EVERY ONE OF YOU FROM YOUR INIQUITES.
Rom 6:6--knowing this, that our old man was CRUCIFIED with Him, that THE BODY OF SIN might be DONE AWAY WITH, that we should NO longer be SLAVES of SIN. (7) For he who has DIED has been FREED from SIN. (8) Now if we DIED with Christ, we believe that we shall also LIVE with Him, (9) Knowing that Christ having been RAISED FROM THE DEAD, dies no more. DEATH NO LONGER has dominion over Him. (10) For the DEATH that he died, HE DIED TO SIN ONCE FOR ALL; but the LIFE that He lives, He lives to God. (11) Likewise you also reckon yourselves to be DEAD INDEED TO SIN, but ALIVE TO GOD IN CHRIST JESUS our Lord.(13) And DO NOT present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to SIN, but PRESENT yourselves to GOD as being ALIVE FROM THE DEAD and your members as instruments of RIGHTEOUSNESS to GOD. (14) For SIN shall not have DOMINION over you, for you are NOT under LAW but under GRACE.
Rom. 8:10—And if Christ is IN you, THE BODY IS DEAD because of SIN, but THE SPIRIT IS LIFE because of RIGHTEOUSNESS. (11) But if the Spirit of Him WHO RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD DWELLS IN YOU; He who RAISED Christ from THE DEAD will ALSO GIVE LIFE to YOUR MORTAL BODIES through HIS SPIRIT who dwells IN you. (John 14:23—If anyone loves Me, he will keep MY WORD, and My FATHER will LOVE him, and WE WILL COME TO HIM and MAKE OUR HOME WITH HIM.) Returning to Rom 8:12--Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—NOT to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. (13) But if BY THE SPIRIT you put to DEATH THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, YOU WILL LIVE. (14) For as many as are LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THESE ARE THE SONS OF GOD.
Now this, He ASCENDED—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? (10) He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that HE MIGHT FILL ALL THINGS. (11) And He Himself gave some to be APOSTLES, some PROPHETS, some EVANGELISTS, and some PASTORS and TEACHERS, (12) FOR the EQUIPPING OF THE SAINTS FOR THE WORK OF MINISTRY, for THE EDIFYING OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, (13) TILL WE ALL COME TO THE UNITY OF THE FAITH and THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD TO A PERFECT MAN, to THE MEASURE OF THE STATURE of THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST; (14) that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every WIND OF DOCTRINE, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness by which they lie in wait to deceive, (15) but SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE, may GROW UP INTO HIM who IS THE HEAD—CHRIST—(16) from whom THE WHOLE BODY, JOINED and KNIT TOGETHER by what every joint supplies according to the effective working by which EVERY PART DOES ITS SHARE, CAUSES GROWTH OF THE BODY for THE EDIFYING OF ITSELF in LOVE.
Eph. 1:22—And He put ALL THINGS UNDER HIS FEET, and gave HIM to be HEAD over ALL THINGS to THE CHURCH, (23) WHICH IS HIS BODY, the FULLNESS of HIM WHO FILLS ALL IN ALL. Col. 2:9—For in HIM dwells all THE FULLNESS of the Godhead BODILY, (10) and you are COMPLETE in HIM, who is the head of all PRINCIPALITY and POWER. Eph. 3:10—to the INTENT that NOW the manifold WISDOM of GOD might be made KNOWN by THE CHURCH TO THE PRINCIPALITIES and POWERS in the heavenly places, (11) according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. (12) in whom we have BOLDNESS and ACCESS with CONFIDENCE through FAITH in HIM. (14) For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, (15) from whom the WHOLE FAMILY in heaven and earth is named, (16) that He would grant you, according to the riches of His GLORY, to be strengthened with might THROUGH HIS SPIRIT in the INNER MAN,
(Phil. 2:13—for it is God WHO WORKS in YOU both TO WILL and TO DO for HIS GOOD PLEASURE) Returning to Eph 3:17-- that Christ may DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS THROUGH FAITH; THAT YOU BEING ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE, (18) may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the WIDTH, and LENGTH and DEPTH and HEIGHT—(19) TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST WHICH PASSES KNOWLEDGE; THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD. 1 John 4:9—In THIS the LOVE of God was MANIFESTED toward us, that GOD HAS SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON INTO THE WORLD THAT WE MIGHT LIVE THROUGH HIM. (12) No one has seen God at any time. If we LOVE one another, GOD ABIDES IN US and HIS LOVE has been PERFECTED in US. (13) By THIS we KNOW that we ABIDE in HIM and HE in US, because HE HAS GIVEN US OF HIS SPIRIT. (14) And we have seen (in the word) and testify that the FATHER HAS SENT THE SON AS SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. (John 17:18—As you SENT Me into the world, I also have SENT them into the world. (21) That they all may be ONE, as YOU, Father, are IN Me, and I IN YOU; that they also may be ONE IN US, that THE WORLD MAY BELIEVE that YOU SENT ME.. (23) I IN them, and YOU in ME; that they may be made PERFECT in ONE, and that THE WORLD may KNOW that YOU HAVE SENT ME, and have LOVED them as YOU have LOVED ME.) Returning to Eph. 3:20--Now to Him who is able to DO exceedingly abundantly above all that we ASK or THINK, according to the POWER that WORKS IN US, (21) TO HIM BE GLORY IN THE CHURCH BY CHRIST JESUS THROUGHOUT ALL AGES, WORLD WITH OUT END. AMEN.
Eph. 2:8—For by GRACE you have been SAVED THROUGH FAITH, and THAT NOT OF YOUR SELVES, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD, (9) NOT OF WORKS, lest anyone should boast. (10) FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, created in Christ Jesus for GOOD WORKS, which God prepared beforehand that we SHOULD WALK IN THEM. ( 2 Tim. 3:16—ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, (17) THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE COMPLETE, THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK.)
(Refer back to Eph. 1:10) John 6:28—Then they said to Him, "WHAT SHALL WE DO, THAT WE MAY WORK THE WORKS OF GOD?" (29) "THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD THAT YOU BELIEVE IN HIM WHOM HE SENT. John 3: 16—For God SO LOVED THE WORLD that HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, that whoever BELIEVES in HIM should NOT perish but have EVERLASTING LIFE. (17) For God DID NOT SEND His Son into the WORLD to CONDEMN the WORLD, but that the WORLD through HIM might be SAVED. Luke 10:56—For the Son of Man DID NOT COME TO DESTROY men's lives but to SAVE THEM.
John 15:16—YOU DID NOT CHOOSE ME, but I CHOSE YOU and appointed you that you should GO AND BEAR FRUIT, and that YOUR FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN, that WHATEVER YOU ASK THE FATHER IN MY NAME HE MAY GIVE YOU. (17) These things I COMMAND YOU, that you LOVE one another. John 15:5—I am the VINE, you are THE BRANCHES. He who ABIDES IN ME, and I IN HIM, BEARS MUCH FRUIT; for without me you can do nothing. (6) If anyone does not ABIDE IN ME, he is cast out as a BRANCH and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. (7) If you abide in ME, and MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, YOU WILL ASK WHAT YOU DESIRE, and IT SHALL BE DONE FOR YOU. (8) BY THIS MY FATHER IS GLORIFIED, THAT YOU BEAR MUCH FRUIT; SO YOU WILL BE MY DISCIPLES.
John 16:23—And in that day you will ASK Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you WHATEVER YOU ASK THE FATHER IN MY NAME HE WILL GIVE YOU. (24) Until now you have ASKED NOTHING in MY NAME. ASK, and YOU WILL RECEIVE, that your JOY may be FULL. (26) In that day you will ASK in MY NAME, and I do not say that I shall pray the Father for you; (27) for the Father Himself LOVES YOU, because you have LOVED ME, and have BELIEVED THAT I CAME FORTH FROM GOD. Ps. 2:2—The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together, AGAINST the Lord and AGAINST HIS ANOINTED, saying, (3) Let us break Their bonds in pieces and CAST AWAY Their CORDS from us. (6) Yet I have set My king on My HOLY HILL of ZION. (7) I will declare the decree: the Lord has said to me, YOU ARE MY SON, today I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU.(8) ASK OF ME and I WILL GIVE YOU THE NATIONS for YOUR INHERITANCE, and THE ENDS OF THE EARTH FOR YOUR POSSESSION.
(I believe this place in the second Ps is A SPIRITUAL PLACE, where once we STAND ON THIS WORD and WE ASK the Father for the NATIONS and THE ENDS OF THE EARTH for HIS POSSESSION, we are BORN AGAIN!) (1 Peter 1:23—having been BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through THE WORD OF GOD which lives and abides FOREVER.) (Ps. 87:5—And of ZION it will be said, THIS ONE and that one were BORN IN HER; and the Most High Himself shall establish her. (6) the LORD WILL RECORD, WHEN HE REGISTERS THE PEOPLES; THIS ONE WAS BORN THERE.) . (Ps. 78:68—But CHOSE the tribe of JUDAH, MOUNT ZION which He loved. (69) And HE BUILT His SANCTUARY like THE HEIGHTS, like THE EARTH which He has ESTABLISHED FOREVER.)
Is.33:20—Look upon ZION, the CITY of our appointed feasts; Your eyes will see JERUSALEM, a quiet habitation; A TABERNACLE that will NOT be taken down; not one of its stakes will ever be removed, NOR will any of its CORDS be broken. (21) But THERE the MAJESTIC LORD WILL BE FOR US.

Great work on the Body of Christ, Sharon! We indeed are His body, for we are baptized into Him; into His body by the HOly Spirit! Keep up the great works you do and the encouragement. It goes a long way. Together In Him, Dennis.
Dearest Sharon, Yes, we are God's people and His Word gives us direction for responding to Him as His Children. For He wants us to receive His Salvation through His son, Jesus Christ. He wants us to learn and to teach His Word (as you are doing) and HE works through His messengers and His servants (like you) here on Earth. As you noted here in Psalms, "show me YOUR WAYS, O Lord; teach me YOUR PATHS. (5) Lead me in YOUR TRUTH and TEACH me. (12) Who is the man that fears the Lord? Him shall HE TEACH IN THE WAY HE CHOOSES." Faith blooms by hearing the Word of God and we grow in the Lord by being nurtured in His Word. It is then we can become part of the Body of Christ and do our part through the gifts He has provided to us. You have cited some of my favorite Scripture passages: "If we LOVE one another, GOD ABIDES IN US and HIS LOVE has been PERFECTED in US. (13) By THIS we KNOW that we ABIDE in HIM and HE in US, because HE HAS GIVEN US OF HIS SPIRIT." "Eph. 2:8—For by GRACE you have been SAVED THROUGH FAITH, and THAT NOT OF YOUR SELVES, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD, (9) NOT OF WORKS, lest anyone should boast." "THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD THAT YOU BELIEVE IN HIM WHOM HE SENT." "John 3: 16—For God SO LOVED THE WORLD that HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, that whoever BELIEVES in HIM should NOT perish but have EVERLASTING LIFE. (17) For God DID NOT SEND His Son into the WORLD to CONDEMN the WORLD, but that the WORLD through HIM might be SAVED." God bless you, Sharon, and thank you for sharing God's Wisdom and using YOUR amazing Spiritual gifts to His Glory! I love you, Peggy

Where: The Brewery, London EC1Y 4SD
I would absolutely love to attend this event but unfortunately cannot do so without a sponsor. I am hopefully looking for a sponsor who would be willing to cover the cost of my ticket (£80.00) my accommodation (I'm not fussy, a Travelodge will do ;)!) and my transport to and from the event. If you are willing to be that amazing company that decides I am worthy enough of attending AND bringing them some goodwill and so forth, then in exchange for your sponsorship, I will help promote and advertise your company in the following ways:
- I will place a badge/advert on my blog including a welcoming post for you as my sponsor. The badge will be displayed for 12 months and will also have a direct link to your site.
- I will hand out business cards at the end event that will clearly display you as my sponsor. And probably brag all about you because y'know.. you sponsored me.
- Any competitions/reviews that you would require, I will write because I would owe you one.
- Once I have received sponsorship, I will gladly tweet about you before, during and after the event. Because you are AWESOME.
- Along with tweeting about your company/brand, I will also use other social networking platforms such as Facebook, G+ and possibly Instagram to share your amazingness!
- If you have a badge/sticker/banner that you would like me to wear during the event in your honour.. I would SO do that. In respect.
I would like to work with a child friendly company because it would be more relevant to my blog. I will also be able to brag about you better if me and my family can associate with you!
If you feel like this description matches you and your company, then please get in touch at email@example.com or contact me via twitter @mistysrsly
I hope that you can find it in your heart to sponsor me. I may be begging a little bit here, but.. you don't ask you don't get.

The UK is the home of Common Law and traditional universities such as Birmingham carry a powerful international reputation leading to enhanced job prospects. We receive a large and growing number of applications from Chinese students each year especially for postgraduate programmes such as the LLM in International Commercial Law. I chose to study in the UK because a Masters programme takes one year instead of the three it would take in China. The legal system in China is undergoing changes and the country requires more scholars who have learnt about UK law to help shape the future direction of the Chinese legal system. (Xi Zhang, LLM) Student societies Many nationality groups form student societies during their time at the University of Birmingham. This is an excellent way to keep in contact with home and also provides an opportunity to highlight your culture and customs in the UK. We have an active Chinese Student Society and most of our Chinese students chose to become a part of this group whilst studying at the University. To find out more about our Chinese society, please visit their facebook page. Student profiles We asked some of our Chinese students to tell us about their experiences at Birmingham, to view their comments please follow the links below. Ying Cao Xi Zhang Entrance requirements Undergraduate programmes Chinese students typically follow a 12 year education system. For admission onto an LLB programme the University of Birmingham requires all applicants to have studied for 13 years, and therefore you will need to take a foundation year before commencing your undergraduate programme.
