Event Details
There has never been a better time to get your message across to an interested, intelligent audience. This workshop looks at both the content and business of writing for newspapers, magazines and their digital counterparts.
Course Outline
- Writing for newspapers, magazines and their digital counterparts can be divided into three categories – news, opinion and features. This workshop will briefly touch upon the market for news, and then will closely examine opinion pieces and short and mid-length feature stories.
- Participants will look at distilling and crystallizing their messages and converting their story ideas into short, sharp and dynamic pieces of non-fiction for the popular media. The workshop will suggest some tried and tested journalists' techniques to allow participants to really bring their stories to life.
- The workshop will also look at all facets of the business, including the marketing and selling of writing to newspapers, magazines and their digital counterparts.
- Participants will develop 'pitches' ready for submission to newspaper, magazine and online editors with a view to publication in mainstream media.
- Participants should come prepared with ideas for two or three 'stories' that they feel would be of interest to a general print or electronic audience as well as an idea of where they think their stories might be placed.

1 arrested, another wanted, in Walgreens cosmetics robberies
Police arrested one woman and are searching for another in connection with cosmetics robberies at Walgreens stores in Northern California last month, authorities said Tuesday.
Kymeshia Parker, a 23-year-old Sacramento resident, was taken into custody after surveillance footage showed her stealing makeup at Walgreens stores in Vacaville and Concord, officials said. Police are still looking for Syerra Mathis, a 23-year-old Sacramento resident, who is wanted for felony robbery.
Parker and Mathis were caught on video stealing close to $4,000 worth of cosmetics on March 19 from a Walgreens on the 2000 block of Alamo Drive in Vacaville, police said. Investigators determined the two women were the same suspects who stole "a bunch" of cosmetics from a Walgreens in Concord on March 29.
Mathis is believed to be in the Sacramento area, police said. Anyone with information can contact police at (925) 671-3030 or anonymously at (925) 603-5836.

Game, net and match for two partners courting romance
MOST international sporting stars strike up close bonds with their teammates while preparing to compete together on the world stage.
But two of Scotland's top netball players have taken their relationship to the next level, by marrying just months ahead of this summer's Commonwealth Games.
A new BBC Scotland documentary, to be screened tonight, reveals how goalkeeper June McNeill and Gail Higgins, who plays wing attack and goal attack, tied the knot. The couple, who also work together at a dental practice in Shawlands, Glasgow, are followed by cameras as they prepare for their trial to get picked for the Games squad.
Both were named in the preliminary 20-woman squad but, in emotional scenes, viewers will see Ms Higgins, 34, left out of the final 12-strong team.
We spend so much time together now that they're like a family to us. We're all here to have a great time and a day off netball training
It comes as a devastating blow to the dental nurse, who battled back to the top of the game after falling out of contention 18 months ago. Earlier in the show, Game, Net And Match, the couple are seen taking time out of their hectic work and training schedules to be fitted for their white wedding dresses.
Ms McNeill, 26, from Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire, said that her life is made easier by having a partner who understands the commitment required.
The dentist, one of the youngest players to be capped for Scotland at senior level, says: "We work together, we train together, so it is really good having someone who knows what is involved."
Speaking at the ceremony, held at Glasgow's Number 10 Hotel, Ms Higgins, from Glenburn in Paisley, pays tribute to the close-knit netball community who gathered to celebrate their big day. She says: "We spend so much time together now that they're like a family to us. We're all here to have a great time and a day off netball training."
The documentary follows the Scottish Thistles preparations for the Games and sees them rise to 11th in the International Netball Federation rankings – their highest position in years.
Following a five-day trial, it shows the emotional moment when each member of the 12-woman squad is informed that they have made the final team. Ms Higgins is seen leaving the building in tears, followed by an emotional Ms McNeill.
One of those picked is shooter Gemma Sole, whose father is 47-times-capped former Scotland rugby captain and British Lion David Sole, 52.
Anxiously waiting with his daughter to hear the selection news, he says: "I've been picked for Scotland, picked for the Lions, but nothing was as nerve-wracking as waiting for that call."
- Game, Net and Match will air on BBC Two Scotland at 9pm tonight

Abbott Kinney is not a place where I'd expect a great, sloppy burger to be found. But a fellow hound who works down the street from Glencrest BBQ has told me for almost a year now that this is the best cheeseburger in LA. Finally, I took him up on the offer.
First off, I was relieved to find the establishment devoid of any sense of interior design. This looks like the place that you stop in when you're driving cross country and you're low on gas in Canute, Oklahoma. I had to ask: yes, they own the building (thank God for all of us).
The burger: WOW!!! It was GREAT! The "Cheeseburger Special" is actually a Double Cheeseburger, fries and a drink for $5.95! THAT'S HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!! Granted the fries were sysco (I ate sysco fries everyday in college and recognize them a mile away) but the burger was legit.
2 thick patties, perfectly grilled, cheese, and the perfect mayo-tomato-pickle-onion mixture that makes or breaks burgers.
As a frame of reference, I ate 5 Guys the next day after a trip to Ikea and was grossed out. I thought it tasted like Wendy's.
I can't comment on the bbq (which i quickly scanned yelp, it appears to be mediocre) but the burger has entered my #1 spot as the best burger in LA.
Other thoughts on the burger are welcome!

I think that was the point of the big flashing red light on the back of his helmet.
Im guessing that the assault on and the obliteration of a police cruiser will likely bring both an immediate armed response as well as a rescue crew for any possible survivors.
Well, that is not from the first book. I watched episode 6 last night and probably 80% of that either didn't exist in the first book or was changed so much that it might as well be considered new content. I am enjoying the show though, it just leaves me wondering what they may have changed in the future. For instance I have no idea how they can wrap the first book up in only 4 episodes. (This is just a 10 episode run, right?).
Hey, what's with all the Don Quixote* allusions, BTW? Dulcinea, Rocinante, Windmills (all titles of episodes or names of things in the story).
BTW, the script got it wrong when it said Rocinante meant workhorse--kinda. It was a play on the word "rocín" which indeed means workhorse, but the joke is that Rocinante (Don Quixote's "steed") was in fact a work horse before ("antes" in Spanish).
*Amazing story if you've never read it--often considered the first modern novel. Read the first part, at least, and find a good translation (I read it in an annotated Spanish version so I can't be of much help there).
Shit, I'm Spanish and I didn't know about that word pun. I never head of the "rocín" word before, it has to be archaic at this point.
It could be the authors just really liked Don Quixote or maybe they liked lots of peyote. Or perhaps its because politically in this story everyone is tilting at windmills. My money's on peyote.
The TV show treats them as allusions, but in the book, Holden specifically makes a Don Quixote reference. His answer to Naomi's "What does that name even mean?" is "It means we need to go find some windmills."
Thanks, Thierry. BTW, who else finds it weird/interesting to see Mad Men's Lane Price (Jared Harris) as a mob boss sporting a neo-African accent (as far as I can make out).
@TurinTurI didn't know the word rocín either before I read Don Quixote. I'm not Spanish, but my mother is Salvadoran of criollo heritage and my dad was a college professor of Spanish and Spanish literature and wrote his dissertation on a work by Calderón de la Barca, so we spoke Spanish at home. :-)
Always I heard rocinante described in spanish is described like "rocin flaco", because is a very thin animal, almost only bones and skin.
Is rocinante a belter? probably ;-)
Belter is a term used to refer to persons born in the Asteroid Belt. They are an oppressed and mistrusted working class that provide many goods for Earth and Mars through the mining and other work facilities built on the asteroids. Although they are a weaker, less organized faction, they have started to resist the powers of Earth and Mars. The Outer Planets Alliance (OPA) was formed to bring together the Belt and to further their interests.
Humans born to the Belt are taller and thinner than those on Earth and Mars because of the decreased gravity. As a result of these physical differences, Belters are dehumanized by many Earth and Mars residents because they superficially seem to be a deviation from the species norms of humans.

Too bad the name is wasted on a mars ship :P
Don Quixote is not easy to read! This is the first sentence of Don Quixote De La Mancha (1911 folio, but apparently it's words straight out of 1600. You can see pictures of the original 1608 text here. It's pretty surprising this is spelling from the 1600s when contrast it with English, but the vocabulary is too hard for me! I'd need a kindle version with all the definitions on top or something. Maybe my Spanish is just really bad - I remember we were reading this book in 7th grade (as a native). Can you guys understand this?
"En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, no ha mucho tiempo que vivía un hidalgo de los de lanza en astillero, adarga antigua, rocín flaco y galgo corredor. Una olla de algo más vaca que carnero, salpicón las más noches, duelos y quebrantos los sábados, lantejas [sic] los viernes, algún palomino de añadidura los domingos, consumían las tres partes de su hacienda."
Lanza is easy, we know our basic spear weapon.Astillero: a place where you store the lance.Adarga: oval leather shield?? Who's supposed to know this other than Spanish D&D fans?"Una olla de algo más vaca que carnero" - this feels like a pun I don't get. A pot more cow than meat? Maybe vaca supposed to mean empty instead of cow."duelos y quebrantos" is apparently some traditional egg/bacon bits fry up.
"rocin flaco" I could guess because I remembered he had a skinny nag, but I suppose that's cheating.
Trying to read a non-annotated version of Don Quixote (even as a native speaker of Spanish) is madness--too many archaic allusions and words. I think the clause about the pot refers to the fact that what was in the pot was often meat considered to be of lower quality--cow instead of steer. The whole intent of that first paragraph is to point out that Don Quixote, the aging if not downright old petty aristocrat (hidalgo-from "hijo de algo" literally "son of something") didn't have much of an estate, that it had seriously declined from how it had been in previous generations.Also, 7th grade is much too young to try to read that. In another thread someone talked about having to read Great Expectations in 6th grade--NUTS. 16 or 17 is the earliest one should be reading stuff with that much nuance. I myself read it in grad school, and it was awesome then (again, a well-annotated version).
It really is interesting that Spanish spelling was way more regularized even by the end of the 16th Century than that of English. Probably because it's much more adapted to the Latin alphabet, given its origin in Romance which in turn came from Vulgar Latin.
He sounds like an Afrikaner.
That character doesn't exist in the book.
Anderson Dawes? He's certainly a different character in the book, but he still plays a big part.
In the book, he's the guy that puts pressure on Miller's captain to officially pull him off the Julie Mao case.
I haven't heard all that much Afrikaner speech in English, but to me it sounds like the actor is doing something beyond that.
He sort of exists in the book, he's just not nearly as important/fleshed out.
As for how are they going to wrap everything up? Based on the last episode I would say they clearly are not going to.
Overall I like it and think it's a good adaptation. I'm just confused by a lot of their choices, mostly in regards to the use of Avasarala. It just seems like her segments don't add much. But, it did help supply the Holden backstory which is pretty useful for establishing his character.
Also, I still don't understand that Jonathan Banks cameo. Is he a huge fan of the series or something and wanted to be in a scene?
I think she is just in the story to add some drama and background in the mars vs Earth vs Belters vs Mars story. Also to show how this seems to be an unknown group doing this (which is why we are getting so much Andersen Dawes as well).
Can we avoid introducing book spoilers into this thread, and just leave it as a discussion of the TV show, for those of us who don't want to have future events revealed or foreshadowed?
I don't know that having read the books helps much with this series. I am not sure what above actually would qualify as a book spoiler since I can't think of a significant character who hasn't been changed from the book. Although I will admit at least one seems to be getting closer.
She's the mouthpiece for Earths point of view in the Earth Mars Belter political byplay. She's more than that in the books and I expect her role will expand in the future but for now she basically a plot setter.
Desslock, I havent seen anyone blowing out major plot points, just filling in some character background but I do hope people keep any major spoilers in tags for those who havent read the books yet. While it doesnt follow the books exactly, most of the basics are there and Im sure that the big events to come will likely be covered and those of us who have read the books will want to discuss the similarities and or divergences.

American MotoGP fans, along with MotoGP fans in general, will be pleased to hear that Nicky Hayden will swing a leg over a MotoGP bike once again. Replacing the injured Dani Pedrosa, Hayden will race at Australian GP with the Repsol Honda team.
Pedrosa is expected to miss the rest of the flyaway races, after breaking his collarbone during the Japanese GP. With Hiroshi Aoyama replacing the HRC rider at Motegi, Hayden will now fill in at Phillip Island.
Fans will remember that the Kentucky Kid has already had some seat time on the 2016-spec Honda RC213V race bike, substituting for Jack Miller during the Aragon GP.
Now with more experience with the Michelin tires, we expect Hayden to improve upon his 15th place finish in Spain.

Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge,
Knuckles Mt. Range
Sri Lanka, Kandy and Around
Info : Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge
Stay in charming tented accommodation in the breath-taking surroundings of the Knuckles Mountains at Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge. Guests can get back to nature and away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with a stay at one of these tranquil tented lodges. This peaceful, and surprisingly elegant, accommodation offers a truly unique way of experiencing the nature and beauty on offer here.
Whilst being made of top quality canvas, these tents are far from your usual camping experience! Each 'lodge' is home to a comfortable double-bed, en suite bathroom, and dark wooden furniture, opening out at one end onto an outside terrace with panoramic views over the surrounding tea plantations and country side. With dark wooden floors, light bright colours, and plenty of space these rooms remain elegant and comfortable, topped off with magnificent views.
Madulkelle has a main building where guests may enjoy the delicious food in the Grand Dining Room, play billiards in the Lounge Bar, or relax in the Library. Decorated in traditional English furnishings, this building has a homely and friendly ambiance, and the open log fire is a centrepiece during the cooler evenings.
The Lodge has its own infinity swimming pool, looking out over the neighbouring traditional Sri Lankan village and tea plantation, offering a great place to relax and take in the scenery. Massages are available both in-tent or outside under the shade of a tree, of for the more adventurous guests hiking, wildlife trips and adventure sports are also offered.
Just thirty kilometres from the culture capital of Kandy, it is in a great location to explore the northern hill country.
Superior - This is what we would describe as our standard category. These will be decent 3/4* hotels providing a really good level of service. We would generally expect them to be providing a little something extra, in terms of character, guest experience or facilities too.
Guest Comments for Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge
Madukelle location was breath-taking. However road to hotel is a problem as it is so rough, for tea factory visit we used a tuktuk instead.
The accommodation was a luxury tent which was beautifully decorated and exciting to stay in - although the hot water ran out pretty quickly!
Customer Feedback
"Excellent service from Nick and he was able to answer any questions that we had. In addition Nick was very helpful in finding alternative hotels when the original selections came back and advised that they were unable to accommodate us."

Costs, of course, would plummet and programming might become more representative of a wider constituency and many executives and media types living in north and east London would find it quicker and cheaper to get to work.

Phil Anselmo Speaks His Solo Album Details
"Walk Through Exits Only" is due to release this July.
Ex-Pantera and current Down frontman Phil Anselmo talks about his first-ever solo album, "Walk Through Exits Only," due to release in July, Metal Hammer reports.
But he's warned fans not to expect "a paint-by-numbers thrash or metal record."
Anselmo wrote, recorded vocals and co-produced the work, and it'll be launched via his own label, Housecore Records.
Anselmo says: "It's an angry album that only I could do. I don't see anybody else out there screaming about the same shit Im screaming about."
"On this album there isn't any wordplay, there isn't any hidden message. It's all right there in front of you."
"Walk Through Exits Only" will be released under the band name Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals. Eight tracks will appear on the disc with titles including "Battalion Of Zero" and "Usurper's Bastard Rant." The band are planning a North American tour during the summer.
The vocalist recently said he felt sorry for former Pantera bandmate Vinnie Paul, who's never attempted a reconciliation with him since the death of Dimebag in 2004.
"People should pity the guy," Anselmo said. "I wasn't there when Dime was murdered but he sure as f--k was. That's his flesh and blood, murdered right in front of him. The healing process would have been beneficial to him instead of his knee-jerk reaction to fear, and his therapy through tit-bars and whisky."

The present application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/169,856, filed Jun. 29, 2005, and claims the benefit of the earlier filing date under 35 U.S.C. �120.
Users having different levels of ability often create and modify user data by using database applications that have a database engine. The users create tables to store the database information, and once a table is created, it is often difficult to change or modify the definition of a table in a way that is intuitive for users and is easy to use. A schema is typically used to define a table, and schema modification options and/or dialog are often very closely dependent upon database applications. The database applications often require a high level of skill and core knowledge of database concepts in order to manipulate the database application. Thus, users who are not familiar with formal database theory, or who do not have experience in database design, often need help in determining and setting data types and other features based on their input data.
Conventional database applications typically modify tables when a user is not viewing the data. Thus, a user of a previous version typically does not explicitly set the data type or size of the field or formatting options within table browse. Also, data types of the data entered are evaluated after the user closes the table. Often, a user is prohibited from making changes to the structure of a table while a database object that depends on the table, such as a form or query, is open. Thus, in order to modify the schema of the table, data objects depending on the table typically have to be closed so that no other applications are using the table. For example, when a user tries to modify a table while a dependent report is open, the user may receive a somewhat arbitrary notice to close the report and the table. (This background information is not intended to identify problems that must be addressed by the claimed subject matter.)
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detail Description Section. This summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
According to aspects of various described embodiments, implementations are provided for a schema editor that allows for definition, distribution, and use of schema templates. The schema editor allows schema to be edited and then saved in such a way that the saved file can be reimported into the schema editor. In one aspect, a user interface is provided for editing a schema for the database. The schema can be edited by selecting items from a list of template schema definitions that is read and displayed by the editor. The edited schema can be saved as an output file such that the output file can be reused by the schema editor.
According to another aspect, a computer-implemented system for editing schema for a database includes a display that is configured to display an image representing a received list of template schema definitions. A user interface receives commands from the user in order to modify the schema. The user interfaces changes the displayed image in response to the user commands. A file reader is used to read a list of template schema definitions that are displayed to the user. A file generator is also used to output an output file in response to the modified schema so that the output file can be read by the file reader.
According to another aspect, a computer-implemented system for editing schema for a database includes means for reading in template schema definitions. The list of template schema definitions is displayed using a display means. Means are provided for receiving commands from the user who uses information from the template schema definitions for modifying the schema. Output means are used to generate an output file for the modified schema such that the output file is configured to be received and displayed.
Embodiments may be implemented as a computer process, a computer system (including mobile handheld computing devices) or as an article of manufacture such as a computer program product. The computer program product may be a computer storage medium readable by a computer system and encoding a computer program of instructions for executing a computer process. The computer program product may also be a propagated signal on a carrier readable by a computing system and encoding a computer program of instructions for executing a computer process.
Non-limiting and non-exhaustive embodiments are described with reference to the following figures, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the various views unless otherwise specified.
Various embodiments are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and which show specific exemplary embodiments for practicing the invention. However, embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Embodiments may be practiced as methods, systems or devices. Accordingly, embodiments may take the form of a hardware implementation, an entirely software implementation or an implementation combining software and hardware aspects. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense.
The logical operations of the various embodiments are implemented (1) as a sequence of computer implemented steps running on a computing system and/or (2) as interconnected machine modules within the computing system. The implementation is a matter of choice dependent on the performance requirements of the computing system implementing the embodiment. Accordingly, the logical operations making up the embodiments described herein are referred to alternatively as operations, steps or modules.
Data is typically stored on computer systems in an organized fashion, which allows the data to be sorted, manipulated, and displayed in response to user's commands. Such data can be stored using database systems, which provide commands for users to manipulate the data. Additionally, schema can be used to define how data is to be stored and accessed. In the recent past, directly coding schema and manipulating database information required knowledge of programming languages, which typical users do not possess, and can be inefficient for those who do possess such knowledge. Database designers can also be used, but restrict the ability to access data and database structures at the same time.
In various embodiments, a schema editor is provided that allows simultaneous access to both the data and the structure of a database. A user of the schema editor can modify the data itself and/or how the data is manipulated. The schema editor provides an output of the user's edits such that the schema editor is capable of reopening and using the previously output users' edits.
Exemplary System for Editing Schema
As shown in
As shown by the example, the field definitions (contained in entry 110) can be virtually any data type or formats a user desires. Thus any field property available in table design view can be specified here. If it is specified by other means, it can be exported into XML when the user creates an output file. Data types of database fields can be specified, such that data within the database is optimally stored for filtering and querying operations. For example, the filtering operation in Access� uses the data type information to offer enhanced filtering options.
Additionally, data formats can be used, which can be used to specify how stored data is to be formatted and/or displayed. For example, a selection of "currency" can be used to convert data stored in a "real" format to a format that displays a currency sign and an integer value formatted with commas every third column and a decimal point.
A field definition can also be used as an input mask for receiving (and constraining) input from a user. For example, an input mask for inputting a social security number can be selected. Each digit of the social security number can be validated (and constrained if necessary) as each digit is being entered by the user.
A user of the schema editor can use task pane 100 to form and/or select sets of field definitions.
The schema editor can generate an output file (typically in XML) that contains instructions for generating a database structure and/or manipulating data stored in the database structure. For example, an export command can be used to export the current table as an XML file. The output file is typically in a format that is similar to the format that is used to generate the field definitions in task pane 100. As such, the schema editor can read the output file back into the schema editor.
This allows, for example, a database having standardized fields to be designed by a primary design team, and disseminated to secondary users. The secondary users can use the schema editor to "consume" the field definitions provided by the primary design team in the output XML file to generate schema using the standardized fields. Using the standardized fields hopes to ensure that commonality of data can be maintained while allowing the user to create new schema applications.
Additionally, the provisioning of field definitions and various schema (e.g., in template form) need not to be restricted to the task pane per se. Interactive user interface metaphors such as panes, ribbons, bars, galleries, and the like can be used to represent various template schema to a user. The template schema can be shown graphically (e.g., using pictures or icons), textually, or a combination thereof. The user can select a template schema and drag the selected template schema on to the table, which then creates a new schema in accordance with the selected template schema.
As described above, the user can click and drag to a field definition from the task pane to, for example, create fields in the database, and can click on the table entry to edit the data to be stored within the field. The control pointed to by 320 can be used to save the data in the currently modified record. There is a Save command on the File menu which will save the schema in the database
When the user is finished creating the database and/or entering or modifying data, the user can save their results of the session by using the Save command on the File menu which will save the schema in the database. The schema editor saves the output file in a format (such as XML) that the schema editor can then reimport to the schema editor.
Exemplary Flow for Editing Schema
At block 602, a user interface for editing a schema for the database is provided. The user interface is configured to receive commands from the user for editing. The user interface is used with an editor for editing schema for databases. In an embodiment, a graphical user interface is provided to visually depict, for example, logical relationships within a database. Additionally, the user interface can be used to enter the data for a database.
At block 604, a list of definitions for schema is received. In possible embodiments, the list of definitions for schema can contain schema templates, structures, user defined lists and the like. The definitions for schema contain predefined definitions for schemas and elements of the schemas. In an embodiment, the list of schema is shown with two levels of hierarchy, although more levels can be used. Using predefined templates, for example, for schema definitions provides for standardization of data and efficient use of the data.
At block 606, the list of definitions for schema is displayed on the user interface. The list of definitions for schema in an embodiment is displayed as template schema using an interactive user interface metaphor such as a window, pane, bar, ribbon, and the like. The list of template schema definitions is displayed in a task pane. Additionally, data that is associated with the database (for which the schema is being edited) is optionally displayed on the user interface. The data is displayed in a format such as a database table or form.
At block 608, commands are received from the user for editing the schema. As described above, the user can edit schema definitions using selected entries in the list of template schema definitions. The term editing also includes meanings such as creating, modifying, and the like. The edits can modify data, metadata, attributes, objects, and the like that are associated with the schema. (Also, the term modify includes meanings such as changes to an object that occur when creating the object).
At block 610, an output file for the modified schema is generated and output. The output file is configured to be read back into the schema editor such that the output file can be used to populate the list of template definitions and/or to be edited itself again. The output file is typically compatible with a file format used for template schema definitions to facilitate populating the list of template definitions. Possible embodiments include outputting the database at any time in the example process flow 600, and can be generated from a process that is separate from the table design tools.
Advertised Entry Points
Relatively unsophisticated users create templates using a schema editor (such as Access�). The users typically use the templates but do not have an idea how the template is constructed because they often mainly use the primary displayed by the schema editor. The relatively unsophisticated users in studies have typically been unable to track information that is not in the table and could not figure out that they needed to add the field to the table to track information.
Illustrative Operating Environment
Computer environment 1200 includes a general-purpose computing device in the form of a computer 1202. The components of computer 1202 can include, but are not limited to, one or more processors or processing units 1204, system memory 1206, and system bus 1208 that couples various system components including processor 1204 to system memory 1206.
System bus 1208 represents one or more of any of several types of bus structures, including a memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus, an accelerated graphics port, and a processor or local bus using any of a variety of bus architectures. By way of example, such architectures can include a Peripheral Component Interconnects (PCI) bus also known as a Mezzanine bus, a PCI Express bus (and the like), a Universal Serial Bus (USB), a Secure Digital (SD) bus, and/or an IEEE 1394, i.e., FireWire, bus.
Computer 1202 may include a variety of computer readable media. Such media can be any available media that is accessible by computer 1202 and includes both volatile and non-volatile media, removable and non-removable media.
System memory 1206 includes computer readable media in the form of volatile memory, such as random access memory (RAM) 1210; and/or non-volatile memory, such as read only memory (ROM) 1212 or flash RAM. Basic input/output system (BIOS) 1214, containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within computer 1202, such as during start-up, is stored in ROM 1212 or flash RAM. RAM 1210 typically contains data and/or program modules that are immediately accessible to and/or presently operated on by processing unit 1204.
Computer 1202 may also include other removable/non-removable, volatile/non-volatile computer storage media. By way of example,
The disk drives and their associated computer-readable media provide non-volatile storage of computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules, and other data for computer 1202. Although the example illustrates a hard disk 1216, removable magnetic disk 1220, and removable optical disk 1224, it is appreciated that other types of computer readable media which can store data that is accessible by a computer, such as magnetic cassettes or other magnetic storage devices, flash memory cards, CD-ROM, digital versatile disks (DVD) or other optical storage, random access memories (RAM), read only memories (ROM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), and the like, can also be utilized to implement the example computing system and environment.
Any number of program modules can be stored on hard disk 1216 magnetic disk 1220, optical disk 1224, ROM 1212, and/or RAM 1210, including by way of example, operating system 1226, one or more application programs 1228 (which can include schema editing as described above), other program modules 1230, and program data 1232. Each of such operating system 1226, one or more application programs 1228, other program modules 1230, and program data 1232 (or some combination thereof) may implement all or part of the resident components that support the distributed file system.
A user can enter commands and information into computer 1202 via input devices such as keyboard 1234 and a pointing device 1236 (e.g., a "mouse"). Other input devices 1238 (not shown specifically) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, serial port, scanner, and/or the like. These and other input devices are connected to processing unit 1204 via input/output interfaces 1240 that are coupled to system bus 1208, but may be connected by other interface and bus structures, such as a parallel port, game port, or a universal serial bus (USB).
Monitor 1242 or other type of display device can also be connected to the system bus 1208 via an interface, such as video adapter 1244. In addition to monitor 1242, other output peripheral devices can include components such as speakers (not shown) and printer 1246 which can be connected to computer 1202 via I/O interfaces 1240.
Computer 1202 can operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as remote computing device 1248. By way of example, remote computing device 1248 can be a PC, portable computer, a server, a router, a network computer, a peer device or other common network node, and the like. Remote computing device 1248 is illustrated as a portable computer that can include many or all of the elements and features described herein relative to computer 1202. Alternatively, computer 1202 can operate in a non-networked environment as well.
Logical connections between computer 1202 and remote computer 1248 are depicted as a local area network (LAN) 1250 and a general wide area network (WAN) 1252. Such networking environments are commonplace in offices, enterprise-wide computer networks, intranets, and the Internet.
When implemented in a LAN networking environment, computer 1202 is connected to local network 1250 via network interface or adapter 1254. When implemented in a WAN networking environment, computer 1202 typically includes modem 1256 or other means for establishing communications over wide network 1252. Modem 1256, which can be internal or external to computer 1202, can be connected to system bus 1208 via I/O interfaces 1240 or other appropriate mechanisms. It is to be appreciated that the illustrated network connections are examples and that other means of establishing at least one communication link between computers 1202 and 1248 can be employed.
In a networked environment, such as that illustrated with computing environment 1200, program modules depicted relative to computer 1202, or portions thereof, may be stored in a remote memory storage device. By way of example, remote application programs 1258 reside on a memory device of remote computer 1248. For purposes of illustration, applications or programs and other executable program components such as the operating system are illustrated herein as discrete blocks, although it is recognized that such programs and components reside at various times in different storage components of computing device 1202, and are executed by at least one data processor of the computer.
Various modules and techniques may be described herein in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, executed by one or more computers or other devices. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. for performing particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Typically, the functionality of the program modules may be combined or distributed as desired in various embodiments.
An implementation of these modules and techniques may be stored on or transmitted across some form of computer readable media. Computer readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by a computer. By way of example, and not limitation, computer readable media may comprise "computer storage media" and "communications media."
"Computer storage media" includes volatile and non-volatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CD-ROM, digital versatile disks (DVD) or other optical storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can be accessed by a computer.
"Communication media" typically embodies computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data in a modulated data signal, such as carrier wave or other transport mechanism. Communication media also includes any information delivery media. The term "modulated data signal" means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. As a non-limiting example only, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared, and other wireless media. Combinations of any of the above are also included within the scope of computer readable media.
Reference has been made throughout this specification to "one embodiment," "an embodiment," or "an example embodiment" meaning that a particular described feature, structure, or characteristic is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Thus, usage of such phrases may refer to more than just one embodiment. Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.
One skilled in the relevant art may recognize, however, that the invention may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, resources, materials, etc. In other instances, well known structures, resources, or operations have not been shown or described in detail merely to avoid obscuring aspects of the invention.
While example embodiments and applications of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the precise configuration and resources described above. Various modifications, changes, and variations apparent to those skilled in the art may be made in the arrangement, operation, and details of the methods and systems of the present invention disclosed herein without departing from the scope of the claimed invention.

text: Instant Cup of Soup: Design Flaws Increase Risk of BurnsGreenhalgh, David G. MD*†; Bridges, Peggy BSN*; Coombs, Elena*; Chapyak, Debbie RN*; Doyle, William PT*; O'Mara, Michael S. MD*†; Palmieri, Tina L. MD*†Journal of Burn Care & Research: July/August 2006 - Volume 27 - Issue 4 - pp 476-481 doi: 10.1097/01.BCR.0000226021.78139.49 Original Articles Abstract Author Information Prepackaged soups are a frequent cause of burn injury. We hypothesize that package design increases the risk for burn injury by affecting container stability. All pediatric scald burns caused by soup, between June 1997 and August 2004, were reviewed for burn and patient characteristics. Instant or "ready-to-eat" soups also were purchased. Safety statements and recommendations as to use of the microwave oven were documented. The height and the areas of the base and top were compared to the angle that a container would tip over on to its side. During the study period, 99 admissions and 80 outpatients were treated for burns caused by soup. Although the burn size was small (mean 5% TBSA) 22 patients required grafting. Of 13 different soups, 11 required the addition of hot water, and 2 were prepackaged for eating out of the container. Twelve containers had round bases and were tall and narrow, with one being shorter and rectangular. The measurements that correlated with the ease of tipping over were the base area, top area, and the ratio of height/base area. The most significant contributor to the ease of tipping over was height. Instant soups are packaged in containers that tend to be tall with a narrow base that predisposes them to being knocked over and spilled. Simple redesigning of instant soup packaging with a wider base and shorter height, along with the requirement for warnings about the risks of burns would reduce the frequency of soup burns.

Chelsea are reportedly planning a swoop for West Ham United's wantaway playmaker Dimitri Payet this month.
Hammers manager Slaven Bilic revealed on Thursday that the 29-year-old has refused to play for the club in an attempt to force through a big-money move away from the London Stadium.
Payet's former side Marseille have reportedly failed with a £19.1m offer for his services and, according to The Sun, league leaders Chelsea are now planning to make their own bid in the coming days.
Blues boss Antonio Conte is looking to strengthen this month as he looks to maintain the side's title challenge in the second half of the campaign, and has funds at his disposal following the £60m sale of midfielder Oscar to the Chinese Super League.
The Italian had been targeting Bayern Munich's Arturo Vidal in a £38m move but the deal has been ruled out by Carlo Ancelotti, who has refused to be pressured into selling one of his key players.
Payet is also thought to have received Premier League interest from Arsenal and Manchester United.

Good things come in small packages
If you're going to mine the retro car movement's rich vein of nostalgia you might as well use a truly evocative name. And when it comes to Minis, there's no name more evocative than Cooper S.
Mini is now owned by BMW. In 2002, the German car maker relaunched the brand, hoping to recapture the aura of the original Mini.
And what an aura. In the 1960s, the Cooper S badge stood for giant-killing performance, similar to what the HSV badge is to Holden today, or AMG to Mercedes-Benz.
The car's status soared after its outright win at the annual Bathurst classic. The Mini conquered Mount Panorama in emphatic style, filling the first nine places in 1966, with a lonely V8 Valiant in 10th place.
And while other retro designs, such as VW's Beetle, haven't fared so well, the reborn Mini has done big business.
This could be because the latter-day Mini never lost sight of its predecessor's strengths and philosophies. Where the Beetle went from air-cooled to liquid-cooled, rear-drive to front-drive and flat-four engined to inline-engined in its transition, the Mini stuck to its guns. True, it was now a much bigger car but it was still a front-wheel drive with an east-west four-cylinder engine and lots of interior space.
With its suspension tweaks and some trim differences, the new Cooper S was not a radical styling departure from the basic Mini package.
But while the standard car produced 85 kW from its 1.6-litre engine, the Cooper S packed 120 kW with more torque and flexibility.
But unlike the original, the extra power did not come from traditional tuning methods such as increasing the compression ratio or changing the camshaft. Instead, BMW bolted on a supercharger with an intercooler and made some software tweaks to create the Cooper S.
Suddenly, the Mini had some real get up and go, although disappointingly, the power curve was quite flat. It was good for low-rev response but did nothing for the sensation of building a crescendo of engine speed.
The Cooper S did not get Mini's five-speed manual gearbox or CVT gearbox. In their place was a six-speed manual.
An interesting, if expensive, option was the John Cooper Works package. It provided a bigger intercooler, a less-restrictive exhaust and different supercharger pulleys that sped up the supercharger, making more boost. And since more boost generally equals more power, that's exactly what the Works kit delivered.
Despite its 154 kW of power and 245 Nm of torque, this version of the Mini Cooper S could still feel a bit flat but its outright speed was never questioned.
That sort of power is a lot for a lightweight front-wheel-drive chassis but the Cooper S, even with the works kit fitted, maintained its composure in most circumstances. Full-power launches from rest could have the traction control kicking in early but even fast cornering on a race track was well within the Works Cooper's capabilities.
Speaking of which, a raced, trashed or thrashed Cooper S is the biggest potential source of grief when it comes to buying one second-hand. They weren't raced and rallied to the extent of something like a Subaru WRX but most have probably had their share of hard use.
Crash damage is a possibility, as is a modified engine. Either of those situations would have us looking elsewhere.
If a sense of retro style is your main criteria, then the standard Mini will do the job. But if you're after real performance to match the visual attitude, then the Cooper S is the real deal.
What to pay
You'll need to find at least $30,000 to secure a Cooper S - about $10,000 more than a standard Mini of the same era. That's a lot of money but at least you're getting a fair bit of hardware in terms of the supercharger installation. The Works kit adds another $2000 to $3000 and is really only for the confirmed performance nut.
The competition
Subaru's iconic WRX gets a look-in but insurance premiums will hurt many, mainly younger owners. The Renault Clio Sport offers big thrills in a small package, as does Peugeot's 206 GTi. You'd also want to look at the previous model Holden Astra Turbo purely because it's one of the best-value performance hatches.

Majestic has been keeping a secret… an email from Her Majesty's Government announcing that we are Queen's Award Winners. It starts like this:
As The Queen's 90th birthday gets underway, the announcement of the 50th year of these prestigious awards is significant. We have won many awards in our time, but this one supersedes them all for Majestic.
An Interview with Dixon Jones about Majestic being Queen's Award Winners.
For the occasion, Ken McGaffin sat down with Dixon Jones to ask the questions that people unfamiliar with Majestic might want to know.
The video, if you do not have time to watch it all, looks at how Majestic came into being, including some interesting anecdotes as to Alex Chudnovsky's early days dreaming about building out some sort of search engine. Ken also asks about why the company has its headquarters in Birmingham in the Midlands (The Silicon Canal) rather than Silicon Valley. Of course, Majestic is proud to be a British company, but the advantages of Birmingham over London are not insignificant.
What is it like to Win a Queens Award?
What does the Majestic Search Engine do?
How Innovation works at Majestic
The People Behind Majestic
How Majestic uses University Talent
Why the Silicon Canals of Birmingham
Does Majestic get to meet The Queen?
Yes – at Buckingham Palace later in the year, Founder Alex and Marketing Director Dixon Jones have the honour of meeting Her Majesty to formally accept the award. A separate ceremony will present the trophy itself, through one of The Queen's representatives later in the year.
Will we offer up Majestic.com to Her Majesty?
Fortunately, it would be against royal protocol to ask Her Majesty a question – especially one like that! We are immensely honoured to win this award. Of course, The Queen is probably one of just a handful of faces that is almost universally recognized all over the world, and she can most likely have any .gov.uk domain that she so chooses – so I doubt we'll be causing her too many sleepless nights by owning majestic.com. We wouldn't mind if Twitter considered us for verification status @Majestic one day, though. In the meantime, PLEASE chat with us there about this award.
Press can also request HD versions of these video or contact us here.

Edsel Pena ColloquiumThursday, August 25, 2016 - 2:45pm
Statistics Department Colloquium
Where: LeConte College, Room 210
Speaker: Edsel Pena
Affiliation: University of South Carolina, Department of Statistics
Title: Truth, Knowledge, P-Values, Bayes, & Inductive Inference
Abstract: P-values has been, and still is, a central concept in Statistics and is a critical and controversial tool of scientific research. Recently it has elicited much, sometimes heated, debates and discussions. The American Statistical Association (ASA) was even compelled to release an official statement in early March 2016 regarding this issue, and a psychology journal has even gone to the extreme of banning the use of P-values in articles appearing in its journal. This debate has also been in relation to important issues of reproducibility in scientific research. In fact, this debate goes to the core of inductive inference and the different schools of thought (significance testing approach, Neyman-Pearson paradigm, Bayesian approach, etc.) on how inductive inference should be done. In this talk I would like to delve into these issues and to offer some viewpoints on whether P-values should be relegated to the dustbin of history or whether it will be there to stay as a tool of scientific investigations. In particular, I will touch on the representation of knowledge and its updating based on observations, and ask the question: "When given the P-value, what does it provide in the context of the updated knowledge of the phenomenon under consideration?"

Sea to Summit 100% Premium Silk Liner
This is the first liner I've used, and the only. It's…
Price Paid: $10
This is the first liner I've used, and the only. It's awesome for hot, muggy days on the coast, as well as cool nights inland. Alone, it's comfortable from 70F+, and it's a great way to keep the bag clean.
I would not spend more than $25 on this however, unless you are an ultralight freak that will carry this in your pocket as you run the Gulf Coast.

In a letter to the editor printed in the Orlando Sentinel, a reader complained that we've had inadequate coverage of the "revolutionary Chevrolet Volt concept car, covered by CNN, MSNBC, Newsweek and other media." The Volt, said the reader, "can go 40 miles on battery power alone, before its charger-engine even starts up. This machine can free us from foreign-oil dependence and reduce U.S. air pollution by a quarter. Is this not news?"
So allow me to direct this to the letter writer, Hugh E. Webber of Winter Park: Yes, it would be news, except for one thing.

In trying to figure out how to deal with the impending L train shutdown, Brooklyn residents are throwing out some creative ideas. One of them is to close Grand Street to some or all cars, creating a "PeopleWay," and businesses in the area are signing on to the idea.
"Beyond helping displaced riders get around during the L train shutdown, many local businesses said they thought the PeopleWay could be a boon to business on the block, drawing folks to the area to use the bus routes or simply by encouraging foot traffic on the block," writes Gwynne Hogan this morning in DNAinfo.
Transit to and from Manhattan is going to have to be augmented somehow, and the Williamsburg Bridge, already a logjam of cars and trucks, is unlikely to offer much of an outlet.
But bikes might. The bike lane across the bridge always has bikes on it but is never congested and could offer residents by the bridge an alternative to a circuitous subway journey or a stagnant car or bus ride.
Businesses are on board because they think a mostly closed street will increase foot traffic and become a destination for leisure. Car owners are… not thrilled.
Check out the whole story on DNAinfo, it's worth a read.Read the full story
