The FootyMaths Institute will have a short recess until mid October.
After that we will release the final rankings point standings for all teams based on all matches played for the Premiership.
We also hope to keep you coming back over the summer months, as we intend to release a series of 'Season in Review' blog posts on every teams performance during the 2012 year.
And we may even get the rankings going again on the T20 Big Bash League... just for the hell of it!
We also have a mighty long treatise on a Conference model of scheduling the AFL season that will get a page of its own. (This is mostly done, but needs proofing and editing).
Finally, we hope to have a few guest posts coming soon too... *hopes his guest posters read this and it triggers them back into action*.
How is that for sizzle!
And while we are away, some light entertainment is scheduled.
Thank you, loyal reader, for reading and commenting on our blog posts and also interacting with us on twitter.
Oh yes, and if the Grand Final is a draw on Saturday, then our tip for the replay is:
Possible Grand Final Replay Tip:
Hawthorn by 14 pts
See you in a few weeks.

What happens when a building falls into several occupancy classifications? This was the focus of the session "Using NFPA 101: Properly, Starting with Occupancy Classification" taught by NFPA's Ron Cote.
Ron used a standard U.S. hotel (like the Orlando Hilton where the conference is being held) as an example of a multi-occupancy building. A hotel can have single rooms, atriums and large open spaces, and restaurants. The life safety requirements for each of these are different. How do you manage this? NFPA requires you to compare occupancy requirements and choose the stricter/strictest.
"101 is very much an occupancy code," said Ron. "It's a road map and beautiful formatted. And you quickly learn that, in multi-occupancies, some occupancies are incidental …. and you can whittle it down to exactly what you need."

Reviewed by Cherie Jung
Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby returns accompanied this time by Detective Constable Ben Jones in the pursuit of justice amid the seemingly crime ridden villages of Midsomer County. This English village mystery series just keeps getting better and better.
For those fans who didn't like either DS Gavin Troy (Daniel Casey) and/or DS Dan Scott (John Hopkins) Barnaby has a new partner. The match seems to be much better this time around. DC Jones is a local lad who is eager to get on and isn't trying to get out of the county as were Troy and Scott. He understands the ways of the villagers and compliments Barnaby rather than grating on his nerves. That doesn't mean that Jones doesn't have a lot to learn about being a detective. He does. But he is much less abrasive than the two previous partners Barnaby was mentoring. Jones seems eager to learn from Barnaby's considerable experience.
Jones was promoted to Acting Detective Constable when DS Scott called in sick and Barnaby arrived on scene without an assistant. Jones was already at the murder scene, working in his normal capacity as a constable. Barnaby asked if he owned a suit and when Jones replied that he did, Barbaby sent him home to change. He has since been promoted to Detective Constable. He is no longer on "acting" status.
There are four episodes in this set. (Yes, it is a bit confusing. For some reason -- I suspect money -- the series is not being released as a complete "series" or year's worth of programs. Instead, four are released and then later another three or four from the same year are released, and each are called a set. At this rate, the fans in the U.K. have seen 6 "sets" more than we have in the U.S., Canada, and Australia.)
"The House in the Woods" -- Winyard, an old dilapidated cottage, is rumored to be haunted. Of course that means it attracts all kinds of attention from the locals (especially kids) and several more sinister types. Something is going on there and DCI Barnaby is determined to the discover the real reason everyone is so interested in the place, and why a young couple who were thinking of buying the property wound up dead under unusual circumstances.
"Dead Letters" -- In Midsomer Barton, it's Oak Apple Festival week and the mother of a former Oak Apple Festival queen is found drowned. Was it suicide? This episode has a special treat for fans who remember "The Killing at Badger's Drift."
"Vixen's Run" -- When Freddy Butler calls his family together -- including his two ex-wives -- for a special announcement then keels over dead after dinner just as he is about to make that announcement, Barnaby can't believe the autopsy finding of "natural death." Freddy had a fortune worth killing for. And what of the missing emeralds?
"Down Among the Dead Men" -- a blackmailer gets his comeuppance via a shotgun blast. It turns out the dead man was keeping rather busy. Barnaby has to figure out who was being blackmailed and why before the list of suspects can be narrowed down.
If you haven't followed the series, you can start with this set and then go back to the earlier programs. Just remember that this is the third partner Barnaby has worked with. You may or may not like the earlier partners, but the series is worth seeing. This is one series that I don't hesitate to pre-order when the DVD releases are announced.

Apolitical Politics in the Weimar Republic: the Left-wing Artists and the Process of Self-marginalization
Kamm, Jessica E.
MetadataShow full item record
My Senior Individualized Project has involved looking at the lives and works of four Weimar artists: Kathe Kollwitz, Otto Dix, Kurt Tucholsky, and George Grosz. I selected my SIP topic based on two primary considerations. The first was that, though I had spent the majority of my time at Kalamazoo College studying modem German history, I felt that I did not know enough about the First World War. The second was that I had taken a class on Weimar literature while I was on study abroad in Erlangen, and Erich Kastner's novel, Fabian, caught my attention as something that both interested and entertained me. Though I did not end up specifically studying Kastner or his novel, it did induce me to consider more carefully the artistic community in Germany between the tum of the century and the Second World War. I began looking at visual as well as literary artists and through them began to piece together the events leading up to and directly following the First World War in, what seemed to me, to be a revolutionarily new way of considering history. Each of my chapters deals with the lives and works of a single artist, a technique I had not previously considered. Weimar art is a broad subject which requires narrowing, but instead of organizing my chapters around subjects or chronological events, I chose to look at the artists themselves and what they meant in the context of the Weimar Republic. This meant excluding a great deal, as there are dozens of artists that could have just as easily been included. However, the benefit of closely considering not only the work, but also the backgrounds and perspectives of these artists provided me with a social context that I believe would have otherwise been lacking. Finally, their lives and opinions turned out to be just as interesting and important when considering the Weimar Republic as a whole as the political trends or artistic movements. I learned a great deal not only about the First World War but also about historical perspective through writing this project.

A Hamilton man is facing a felony charge for allegedly sending and receiving sexual material to and from a juvenile, according to the Butler County Sheriff's Office.
The sheriff's office was contacted on Oct. 23 by an Arizona law enforcement agency concerning an investigation into social media interaction between a 12-year-old girl and Wayne Barnett, 60, according to court documents obtained by the Journal-News.

Between January 1 and August 25, the girl sent several sexually explicit videos to Barnett through Snapchat, the complaint says.
The Arizona detective was able to confirm Barnett received the videos through a search warrant of Barnett's Snapchat account, according to the court documents.
Butler County sheriff's detectives said Barnett initiated the contact with the girl and manipulated her to send the sexual videos and photos.

Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.

Double Image
Biographie Double Image
Dave Samuels
has established himself as one of the top mallet players of his generation. He is recognized for his fresh new sound and creative approach to both the vibraphone and marimba. Samuels has demonstrated his versatility and gained worldwide recognition by performing and recording with a broad scope of artists, including Gerry Mulligan, Oscar Peterson, Chet Baker, Stan Getz, Carla Bley, Pat Metheny, the Yellowjackets, Bruce Hornsby, Frank Zappa, The Fantasy Band and Spyro Gyra.
For over a decade, Samuels has been performing and recording with his group The Caribbean Jazz Project, whose CD Afro Bop Alliance communicates that the CJP is the most thoroughly inventive Latin Jazz ensembles of this or any era. The album received a Latin Grammy and was also nominated for a Grammy. Previous CD's Here and Now - Live in Concert and Birds of a Feather were nominated for "Best Latin Jazz Recording". Their recording The Gathering won a Grammy in 2003 for 'Best Latin Jazz Recording'. Some of his other recording projects include Remembrances, a percussion recording that features a commissioned marimba concerto for chamber orchestra and soloist composed by Jeff Beal, and Tjaderized - A Tribute to Cal Tjader, which features contributions from some of Tjader's former band mates Chick Corea, Eddie Palmieri, Clare Fischer, Ray Barretto, Michael Wolff and Karl Perazzo as well as performances by Dave Valentin and David Sanchez.
Another one of Samuels's projects, Double Image - the vibe and marimba duo consisting of Dave Samuels and David Friedman, has been performing together for thirty years. The two masters of mallet percussion first created the unique combination of vibraphone and marimba in 1974. What emerged was a totally new sound and approach that has set a new standard for mallet percussionists everywhere. Their recordings have received critical acclaim and their performances have been described as "spellbinding". Double Image performs music which spans many styles, from jazz standards and original compositions to through-composed pieces and spontaneous improvisations. Samuels's longtime association with American jazz fusion band Spyro Gyra lasted from 1977 to 1994 and included twenty recordings. During that time, the Grammy-nominated group was named number one Contemporary Jazz Artist and Contemporary Jazz Group of the '80s by Billboard magazine.
In addition to his playing, Samuels is a respected educator and author. Samuels has been voted "Best Vibes Player" in both Jazziz and Modern Drummer magazines, and received numerous Grammy nominations.
David Friedman
is considered to be one of the most influential vibraphonists in the history of the instrument. Internationally renowned as a vibraphonist, marimbist, composer and jazz educator, he has his own musical message, born of fascinatingly diverse musical influences.
Having worked with such varied musical personalities as Leonard Bernstein, Luciano Berio, Bobby McFerrin, Wayne Shorter and Yoko Ono, few jazz musicians can claim as broad a spectrum of performing and recording experience.
The list doesn`t stop there. Friedman has been heard either live or on recordings with, among others, Joe Henderson, Horace Silver, Johnny Griffin, Hubert Laws, Jane Ira Bloom, Ron Carter and John Scofield. Friedman's vibraphone and compositions are both featured on Chet Baker's award winning Enja release Peace, with bassist Buster Williams and drummer Joe Chambers.
A dedicated and renowned educator, David Friedman founded the jazz program at Berlin's University of the Arts, and served as its head for sixteen years. He continues to perform masterclasses throughout Europe, North America and Japan. His book, Vibraphone Technique, Dampening and Pedaling, is considered to be the Bible of mallet instruction books.
In 1977, Friedman co-founded the unique vibe-marimba quartet Double Image, with Dave Samuels. Their first recording, Double Image, was nominated for a German "Grammy", and has just been re-released as a special edition by Enja Records. Friedman's Enja release Shades of Change, with pianist Geri Allen, bassist Anthony Cox and drummer Ronnie Burrage, was voted by Downbeat magazine as "One of the year's best 20 CD's".
Friedman's trio playing with star drummer Daniel Humair and bassist J.F. Jenny-Clarke, documented on their 1992 live release Ternaire, showcases modern, interactive jazz improvisation, ranging from an agressive driving swing to tender lyricism.
Friedman's project with bandoneonist Dino Saluzzi, Astor Piazzola's heir to modern tango, is a synthesis of American jazz and ethnic improvisation. The gifted bassist Anthony Coxcompletes the trio. Their 1996 CD release, Rios, on Intuition Records, has been called "a true work of art" by the Chicago Tribune.
37_cover_frontOne of Friedman's unique accomplishments is his solo mallet recording, which utilizes multiple vibe and marimba overdubs to create richly textured soundscapes. The first recording of its kind ever done by a mallet performer, it is aptly entitled Air Sculpture (Traumton Records). Jazz Friends Review writes: "This music is made of the same fabric dreams are made of. This daring recording is riveting." Germany's Die Woche callsAir Sculpture, "a humble masterpiece!" ....

David SingerDavid Singer is an Australian lawyer who is active in Zionist community organizations in that country. He founded the "Jordan is Palestine" Committee in 1979.
Frustration with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) surfaced at a Conference in Istanbul on 25 and 26 February attended by 6000 Palestinian Arabs living abroad in more than 50 countries.
-the restructuring of the PLO on a more representative basis for all Palestinians, and
-the formation of a democratically elected Palestinian National Council - the PLO's legislative body in exile.
A member of Hamas' politburo Izzat al-Rashq expressed support for the conference on behalf of Hamas - adding that "those who claim that Hamas is behind the conference are mistaken."
No matter whose viewpoint one believes – the Conference is surely evidence that the Palestinian Arabs living abroad want to have a say in their own future and have formed an organization that will allow them to do so – because they consider that the PLO as presently structured is not meeting their aspirations.
Conference spokesman Said Ziyad al Aloul supports this conclusion: "We as Palestinian diaspora have the right to organize and tell the traditional Palestinian leaders what we think is the best way forward,"
Anees Fawzi Kassem - the head of the conference - said the Oslo Accords were the worst deal possible and had resulted in Palestinians being unable to represent Palestinians: ."We are gathered here today to demand that we the people of Palestine be given our voice back,"
Khalid Turaani, another spokesperson for the conference reportedly claimed: "It is high time that Palestinians come together to ensure that a weak donor-bondaged [PLO] doesn't give away any more of our legal historic and moral rights in Palestine,"
Kassem's and Turanni's sentiments will resonate with those Palestinian Arabs living under PLO rule whose voices have been silenced whilst being denied free, fair and transparent elections since 2006.
Negotiations between Israel and the PLO under the Oslo Accords were always destined to founder since the PLO Charter states that Israel, Gaza, the West Bank and Jordan are:
-An indivisible territorial unit and
-An indivisible part of the Arab homeland
-The 1917 Balfour Declaration, the 1922 Mandate for Palestine and everything based on them since then are null and void.
-Jews do not constitute a single nation with an identity of its own
-Jordan and Israel's 1994 Peace Treaty rejected these PLO deal-breakers.
Oslo's demise opens the possibility of Jordan and Israel redrawing their existing international boundary to mutually divide the 'West Bank' between their respective States.
President Trump should jump to seal the deal.

The weather has been less than perfect during our stay on Abaco Island in the Bahamas but when the wind lays down enough to get out and do some fishing we have had some very nice days.
I have had a chance to give the new Winston BIII Plus Saltwater Rod a work out and it's been fantastic. I love the metal reel seat, ultra slick guides and fast action with "Winston feel". This is one of the best saltwater specific rods available today without a doubt. The new Airflo Bonefish/Redfish "Super Dri" line has been solid as well. It floats considerably better than the Airflo Ridge Bonefish/Redfish.

It's a good idea to ask yourself why you want to buy a bar before you make the jump into the industry.
There are many people who conclude that this business isn't what they thought it would be and isn't for them, but not before the industry chews up their dreams—and time, money, credit and sanity—and spits them out. Rather than going through the process of losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in a failed investment, stop to think about your decision and do an honest self-evaluation.
Here are the four worst reasons to buy a bar:
1. You Like to Party
This is by far the worst reason to get into the bar industry. There's an old saying that goes, "If you like to gamble, working in a casino is not for you." Similarly, in the bar business, operators who are continually tempted to consume the products they sell are doomed to failure.
The industry is abundant with stories of operators who failed because of addictions that were fueled by their working environment.
Read this: The Essential Advice You Need Before Buying a Bar
To be successful in the industry, operators must have above-average levels of self-control. They must know how to separate their business and personal life. And they must always operate their business with profit at the top of their mind. Being tempted by any of the products or services a bar offers is a surefire recipe for disaster and an awful reason to buy a bar.
2. To Improve Your Dating Life
The lure of owning a bar so that a lonely operator can always meet new romantic partners is an attractive prospect to a potential bar owner. While this has long been one of the possible perks of the bar industry, it is a bad reason to invest at the ownership level.
Any time a social agenda exceeds the profit agenda of the business, problems will start to materialize. This is especially true today, where sexual harassment and assault accusations are enough to destroy the reputation of an individual and therefore their business. [Editor's note: This should go without saying but here goes—never harass or assault anyone, sexually or otherwise. Thank you.]
Read this: Reduce Your Harassment & Liability Risk
The most successful operators are those who have no social agenda. They are there only to make money and will only make decisions that help reach that goal. People who buy a bar because they want to find dates are asking for trouble.
3. You're Chronically Unemployable
While many entrepreneurs start businesses because they despise working for other people, this is not a good reason to buy a bar. Most of the best bar owners I have ever met are those who have risen to high-level management positions working for other companies.
This makes perfect sense when you think about it. These people have gone through the ranks, worked for a successful company, learned the ins and outs, and graduated to ownership when their skills and confidence rose to the level it needed to be to succeed as an owner.

This also demonstrates the ability to work well with others, which is very important when stepping into an ownership position. When someone jumps around from job to job, this is usually more a problem with their attitude toward work and their inability to cooperate with others. If you've been fired from every job you've ever had, buying your own bar is probably a bad idea.
4. You Want Easy Money
The bar industry is not an easy place to make money. While there were times in the past when it was relatively simple to make money by opening a bar, in today's ultra-competitive market this simply is not the case.
Today, the industry is a challenging landscape that has weeded out many operators who lacked the skill to adapt to new realities. Above-average skills in marketing, operations, management and staying on the cutting edge of food, liquor and service trends is essential for success now.
Operators are working longer hours, studying more in their spare time, and constantly attending conferences to try and get the edge necessary to succeed in today's hyper competitive market. Those who buy a bar because they think it is an easy way to make money are in for a rude awakening.

Today we went to the Troödos mountains (pronounced Troh-dos, not True-dos). First stop was the tomb of Archbishop Makarios, which for some reason the tour guide thought we'd find the remotest bit interesting. About 50 metres further up the mountain was a shrine to the virgin Mary, where you can give offerings and set fire to candles and stuff. One of the legends says that if you make a wish (I believe "pray" is the technical term) then the virgin Mary will listen more if you leave a personal object tied to a tree to remind her of you.
Here are the trees:
Most "personal objects" appear to be pieces of toilet paper, and when you get up close it turns out that the reason they appear to be pieces of toilet paper is because that's indeed exactly what they are (fortunately, unused). Not everything is toilet paper, though. The red blob you can see there is a hair scrunchie, for example. So what about the blue object next to it?
It's a bra.
There's personal and there's too personal...

TORONTO - The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. and the Liquor Control Board of Ontario could soon have new bosses at the helm.
Finance Minister Charles Sousa has nominated Philip Olsson as chairman of the OLG and Edward Waitzer for the LCBO.
Olsson — who is currently chairman of the LCBO — is expected to work on gaming modernization in Ontario when he moves to the lottery agency, as well as better integration with horse racing.
Olsson is a partner at investment firm K.J. Harrison & Partners Inc. as well as chairman of Connaught Oil & Gas Ltd.
The OLG has been working under an interim board of public servants since May 16.
Waitzer — who would take over the liquor board from Olsson — is an academic and businessman who specializes in business law, and a past chairman of the Ontario Securities Commission.
The nominations are subject to a review by the Standing Committee on Government Agencies.
According to the 2013 budget, the OLG contributes some $2.02 billion in net revenue to the province while the LCBO brought in $1.7 billion in 2012.
"Mr. Olsson and Mr. Waitzer each bring a wealth of experience and proven track records as two of Canada's top business leaders," Sousa said Thursday.
"Their guidance and oversight would help ensure that OLG and LCBO continue to be run efficiently and are positioned for long-term success."

He came down the road in a green Cadillac. I had a house to sell and he was here to make an offer. When he stepped out of the car, it was his boots I noticed first, snakeskin and off-yellow, large and pointy. His hair was all the way Elvis. I already had an offer of making the house into a bird sanctuary, the mortgage to be paid with bird profits. I was also offered a woman's boyfriend, if I read the offer right. It wasn't actually a good selling market, and it was high desert. Still, the cottonwood trees and the river were worth the price, I thought, lower than market anyway. It overlooked a pasture across the river, and you could kick up good dirt almost anywhere on the property, look for Anasazi artifacts, beads and arrowheads. There were also scorpions, tarantulas, and centipedes, of course. He came up the driveway. "Hey," he said, "Hello." "Hello," I said back. "Let's sit out here," I said, after he'd told me his name. I had a comfortable blue bench under the window in the shade. "So, this is it," he said, and I said," Yes. two acres, and a river, like the ad said." "Are you firm on your price?" he asked. "What did you have in mind?" I asked. "I'm willing to be reasonable." The cottonwoods were making that evening whisper sound they make, a breeze coming up, and the sound of the cicadas moving down the trees like a concert warming up. "You see that car there?" "Sure," I said, "Pretty." "It's driven a lot of famous people — Willie Nelson, everyone. It's a $300,000 car. "What are you saying?" I asked. "Are you trying to make a trade?" "I wondered if you'd consider it," he said, and looked back at the car, shining now under a ray of bright sun. "I don't need a car," I said. "I've got the truck over there." "You could make a good living," he said, "put on a cute uniform and drive some interesting people." I'm embarrassed to say I took another quick look at the Cadillac. "What happened to you driving it?' I said. "I lost my heart for it," he said, and looked away. He twitched, slightly, and I was hoping he wasn't going to cry. I was suddenly nervous that none of my neighbors were home, in case he got weird, even though they were too far away to help. He seemed alright, though. "I'm not sure what to say," I said. "Like I said, I don't need a car, and I wouldn't know how to do that kind of trade." I was thinking of the cute outfit, though. The sun and heat had beat up the house over the years, and one of the barn doors had fallen off. "I might think about it," I said, surprising myself. He stood up and I could see that I'd made him happy, given him something to hope for. We all need something to hope for. "Tell you what," I said, looking toward the Cadillac. "You give me a full accounting of what's wrong with the car, and how I'd go about doing something like you said, with it, and you can take a look around here and at the barn, but absolutely no promises," He got up, and I could tell that he was relieved and had a new outlook on life. The cicadas whipped back around, and the clouds started to drop rain, the musty fragrance coming up from the river. I was feeling better myself. I didn't want to live in the house anymore. Some things are as simple as that—you just don't want to do something anymore. And maybe I wouldn't like that uniform he was talking about for long, but for the moment, I was picturing a dark pink.

Semester 1 – Came to IITK knowing just 3 people. Studied for exams 😛 Settled in. Got to work on the Techkriti site. Relief that getting 9.x wasn't as tough at the IITs as rumoured as long as I put in some effort.
Semester 2 – The computer arrives. Watched all 10 seasons of F.r.i.e.n.d.s. in 2 months. Got elected to the Hall 2 HEC as CC secretary. Spent a lot of time censoring a particular individual on the Hall 2 Discussion Board 😛 Joined the group of elite CSE ex-9 pointers of my batch who had an SPI drop >2 😛 Realised that the "putting in effort" is not that easy for extended durations 😦
Summer 2005 – Returned to Muscat, did an off-site internship at home. Alternate week Pizza Hut partying with school friends 🙂 Was selected for the Lucent Scholarship and went to the US for the week long Lucent Global Science Scholars Summit.
Semester 3 – Made a lot more friends 🙂 , did my first CS course. Started working on SPO Automation. Trained the Hall 2 Webteam. Managed to "put in effort" academically.
Semester 4 – IMS started off as a CS course project. Got elected to the Students Senate. Another SPI drop.
Summer 2006 – Internship at Bell Labs Bangalore. First major paycheque. Tried rock climbing, trekking and parasailing (inclusive of an accidental crash landing 😦 ). Put on weight as a result of having dinner daily at the mall (Forum).
Semester 5 – IMS gets deployed by CSE-IITK to manage internships. Got selected for an internship with MSR Redmond. The first "real" CS semester 🙂 Coordinated the deployment of a placement portal developed by an alumnus. Again managed to "put in effort" academically.
Semester 6 – The first of the three 5 project semesters. Voted Best Senator in the Students Senate. Deployed IMS in the SPO. A lot of new friendships developed and old ones got consolidated 🙂 Looks like I have optimized the art of getting 9.x SPIs (would you call it a science or an art?) with minimal effort and maximum learning.
Summer 2007 – Internship at Microsoft Research Redmond. Got 3 patents in my name by the end of it. Travelled a lot on weekends – Hawaii, California, Texas, Michigan and Oregon. Tried trekking, river rafting and kayaking.
Semester 7 – BTech Project decided : an e-passport application that eventually got deployed by the Government of India. PAS gets deployed at IITK. Another 5 project semester. Got placed with Tower and Lehman.
Semester 8 – BTP got selected for funding from Microsoft. Got placed with Microsoft Live Search. Treats, treats and more treats. Multiple Farewells. Left IITK knowing roughly every 2nd person in my batch of 500 🙂
Summer 2008 – The IITK tradition of travelling around India followed by Convocation. Worked with the SPO on a proposal for revenue generation via ads on PAS. Thought of various possible ideas for a startup and rejected most. Learnt driving at last and got a license.
40,000 lines of code, 100+ exams, 40 courses, 20 projects, 20+ project partners, 4 years all for one BTech but well worth it!

Tokina has announced the new AT-X 11-20mm f/2.8 PRO DX lens at the CP+ Camera & Photo Imaging Show 2015, after previewing the lens at the Photokina 2014 event.
The CP+ 2015 event has been an opportunity for Tokina to introduce a couple of new lenses. The AT-X 24-70mm f/2.8 PRO FX and the Cinema AT-X 50-135mm T3.0 have been revealed during this major digital imaging show. However, the company has decided to give another optic more attention. It is a model that was previewed at Photokina 2014 and which was actually announced in early February, but it has somehow managed to slip by unnoticed: the Tokina AT-X 11-20mm f/2.8 PRO DX lens.
Tokina AT-X 11-20mm f/2.8 PRO DX lens launched at CP+ 2015
The company is expanding its range of zoom lenses with high optical performance for Canon and Nikon DSLRs with APS-C-sized image sensors at CP+ 2015.
The new model consists of the Tokina AT-X 11-20mm f/2.8 PRO DX lens, which will offer a 35mm focal length equivalent of approximately 16.5-30mm when mounted on these shooters.
It will provide a constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 throughout the zoom range. This bright aperture will allow photographers to shorten the exposure time in low-light conditions.
Moreover, this wide-angle zoom lens will be useful at indoor or outdoor events, such as weddings, thanks to its fast aperture. The company also says that the lens will be able to autofocus in poorly-lit environments, courtesy of its f/2.8 aperture.
High image quality from a wide-angle zoom lens coming to you this March
The lens features 14 elements in 12 groups, including a trio of Super-Low Dispersion elements, which will minimize chromatic aberrations. Three aspherical elements are included, too, in order to correct other optical defects and to increase the image quality.
Ghosting and flare will be kept under control thanks to multi-layer coatings that reduce internal reflections. Its filter thread is sized at 82mm and the front element does not move during focusing as the optic comes with an internal focus mechanism.
The Tokina AT-X 11-20mm f/2.8 PRO DX lens measures 92mm in length and 89mm in diameter, while weighing 560 grams / 19.75 ounces.
Tokina will release its AT-X SD 11-20mm f/2.8 (IF) DX lens for Canon and Nikon APS-C DSLR cameras as of March 2015 for a price of $599.95.
The lens is available for pre-order at Adorama and B&H PhotoVideo right now at the aforementioned price.

(The Phanatic Magazine) - The Eagles have announced the introduction of the Eagles Spanish Radio Network.
For the first time, fans can tune in to WTTM (1680 AM) in Philadelphia to hear every Eagles game broadcast in Spanish, beginning with Thursday's preseason opener against Pittsburgh. Many of the games will also be broadcast on WGPA (1100 AM) in Allentown.
Rickie Ricardo will be doing the play-by-play and is joined by color men Felix DeJesus and Will Kulik. The Eagles are the 14th NFL team to have a Spanish broadcast.
Ricardo is also in his seventh season with the Philadelphia Phillies Spanish broadcast crew. He is a radio veteran of 33 years, with stints in New York, Miami, Washington DC and Music Choice television. DeJesus is a native New Yorker who is in his sixth season as one of the color commentators for the New York Yankees Spanish broadcast. Kulik is the president and founder of the Spanish Beisbol Network, which he created in 2001 and reaches over 22 million Hispanics with its roster of MLB team markets that includes Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, Oakland, Texas, and Los Angeles.
The Eagles are also working with the NFL to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. The team will be honoring Hispanic Heritage during their August 9th preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Invitations have been extended to the local Hispanic community/media to show appreciation for this passionate and growing fan base. Philadelphia's Hispanic population grew by nearly 60,000 people from 2000 to 2010, climbing from 8.5% to 12.3% of the city's overall population.
Prior to Thursday's game, the Eagles will be recognizing Cynthia Figueroa as the recipient of the NFL Hispanic Heritage Leadership award. Cynthia is President and CEO of Congreso de Latinos Unidos, and is being honored for her contributions to the community.

Where can I exchange Australian dollars for Peruvian nuevo soles in Sydney?
about 10 years ago about Peru
Would prefer to turn up to Peru with cash rather than having to try and exchange once I arrive, or alternatively pay the ATM transaction fees.
Asked by Yael Gaffney via WorldNomads.com
2 Answers
I would suggest that it is easier to just get your soles in Peru. I had no trouble obtaining currency there as I required it in the various major cities. You are unlikely to find a place in Sydney as it isn't a standard convertible currency and even if you do, the exchange rate is likely to be very bad (much worse than a few dollars of ATM fees). about 10 years agoAnswered by Mark H via Travellr.com
In peru you can pay with US Dollar everywhere, you can only change Australian Dollar by US Dollar about 10 years agoAnswered by Fernando Flores via Travellr.com

Globalizing Torture: 54 Countries Join USA
By A Correspondent
At least 54 countries co-operated with USA inn global kidnap, detention and torture operation mounted after 9/11 attacks, says Globalizing Torture , a comprehensive report. The countries include Afghanistan, Canada, Egypt, Iceland, Iran, Ireland, Jordan, Pakistan and the UK.
Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 , the Central Intelligence Agency embarked on a highly classified program of secret detention and extraordinary rendition of terrorist suspects. The program was designed to place detainee interrogations beyond the reach of law. Suspected terrorists were seized and secretly flown across national borders to be interrogated by foreign governments that used torture, or by the CIA itself in clandestine "black sites" using torture techniques [1].
Globalizing Torture is the most comprehensive account yet assembled of the human rights abuses associated with CIA secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations.
It details for the first time what was done to the 136 known victims, and lists the 54 foreign governments that participated in these operations. It shows that responsibility for the abuses lies not only with the United States but with dozens of foreign governments that were complicit.
More than 10 years after the 2001 attacks, Globalizing Torture makes it unequivocally clear that the time has come for the United States and its partners to definitively repudiate these illegal practices and secure accountability for the associated human rights abuses.
Ian Cobain reported [2]:
The full extent of the CIA's extraordinary rendition program has been laid bare with the publication of the report showing there is evidence that more than a quarter of the world's governments covertly offered support.
The 213-page report compiled by the Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI), a New York-based human rights organization, says that at least 54 countries co-operated with the global kidnap, detention and torture operation that was mounted after 9/11, many of them in Europe.
So widespread and extensive was the participation of governments across the world that it is now clear the CIA could not have operated its program without their support, according to the OSJI.
"There is no doubt that high-ranking Bush administration officials bear responsibility for authorizing human rights violations associated with secret detention and extraordinary rendition, and the impunity that they have enjoyed to date remains a matter of significant concern," the report says. "But responsibility for these violations does not end with the United States . Secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations, designed to be conducted outside the United States under cover of secrecy, could not have been implemented without the active participation of foreign governments. These governments too must be held accountable."
The states identified by the OSJI include those such as Pakistan , Afghanistan , Egypt and Jordan where the existence of secret prisons and the use of torture has been well documented for many years. But the OSJI's rendition list also includes states such as Ireland , Iceland and Cyprus , which are accused of granting covert support for the program by permitting the use of airspace and airports by aircraft involved in rendition flights.
Canada not only permitted the use of its airspace but provided information that led to one of its own nationals being taken to Syria where he was held for a year and tortured, the report says.
Iran and Syria are identified by the OSJI as having participated in the rendition program. Syria is said to have been one of the "most common destinations for rendered suspects", while Iran is said to have participated in the CIA's program by handing over 15 individuals to Kabul shortly after the US invasion of Afghanistan , in the full knowledge that they would fall under US control.
Other countries are conspicuous by their absence from the rendition list: Sweden and Finland are present, but there is no evidence of Norwegian involvement. Similarly, while many Middle Eastern countries did become involved in the rendition program, Israel did not, according to the OSJI research.
Many of the countries on the list are European. Germany , Spain , Portugal and Austria are among them, but France , the Netherlands and Hungary are not. Georgia stands accused of involvement in rendition, but Russia does not.
Some countries, such as Poland , Lithuania and Romania , hosted secret prisons on their territory.
The OSJI reports that the UK supported CIA rendition operations, interrogated people being secretly detained, allowed the use of British airports and airspace, arranged for one man, Sami al-Saadi, to be rendered to Libya with his entire family, where he was subsequently tortured, and provided intelligence that allowed a second similar operation to take place.
Publication of the report appears to have been timed to coincide with the confirmation hearing on Thursday of John Brennan, Barack Obama's choice to head the CIA. Brennan is widely expected to be questioned about his association with the so-called enhanced interrogation policies adopted by Bush.
The OSJI report, Globalizing Torture , says the full scope of non-US government involvement may still remain unknown.
"Despite the efforts of the United States and its partner governments to withhold the truth about past and ongoing abuses, information relating to these abuses will continue to find its way into the public domain," the report says.
"At the same time, while US courts have closed their doors to victims of secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations, legal challenges to foreign government participation in these operations are being heard in courts around the world."
The OSJI is calling on the US government to repudiate the rendition program, close all its remaining secret prisons, mount a criminal investigation into human rights abuses – including those apparently endorsed by government lawyers – and create an independent and non-partisan commission to investigate and publicly report on the role that officials played in such abuses.
The organization is also calling on non-US governments to end their involvement in rendition operations, mount effective investigations – including criminal investigations – to hold those responsible to account, and institute safeguards to ensure that future counter-terrorism operations do not violate human rights standards.

We are using the arcgis javascript 3.15 api but a cluster click event is not firing in Chrome for some reason. It fires the click event on IE though. Clicking outside the cluster circles works as expected (it zooms in) in both IE and Chrome. IE Debugger shows that when a cluster circle is clicked, line 3377 of init.js "return a[f].apply(a, arguments || []);" is supposed to be executed but obviously this is not happening in Chrome. Clicking any circles in Chrome does not trigger to execute any javascript api codes at all. We tried the version 3.23 but with no luck. Please advice.
We are developing using c#/asp.net/mvc/.net framework 4. We are referencing the CDN version api at https://js.arcgis.com/3.15/ ; we are also using the latest Chrome.

Camera changes
Since joining Dreamstime, I've submitted photographs taken with various cameras, starting with a good old point and shoot, followed by a bridge camera and now, with a recently bought DSLR. It's a natural progression but I feel it's still, more about the subject of your photo that counts, rather than the type of camera you use. I've only used the DSLR a little but comparing the three photos, can you tell, which image was taken with which camera (without looking at the date taken of course)
What do you think?

Hi Sylvain, no reason to be sorry at all, it's good to hear what other people think and you certainly know your stock photography.
Hi Unteroffizier, DSLR is the way ahead for sure, which is why I have moved from a bridge camera and the AUTO setting.
I'm sorry but I don't agree with you. We can see from the first second which Image is having a better quality and the others... I didn't look at the dates but I'm pretty sure the bridge is with the DSLR. It's not only about subject... I do agree this is very important but like Unteroffizier is saying, you need high quality on Stock where the review is precise on high quality. I would suggest you to experiment more light/shadow effect and computer work with photoshop or lightroom to increase contrast and lighting, to make it look more intense. Good luck :)
You may not notice much but enthusiast and higher end model DSLR gives you better noise control at higher ISO level. With a good lens image quality will be superior over the regular digital cams and smartphones. I feel DSLR is the minimum if you want to do stock when images are reviewed at highest resolution full size.

TORONTO -- Apparently even silence can have its consequences.
New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner learned that the hard way Friday night, when he was ejected from the visitors dugout in the fourth inning of the Yankees' game at Rogers Centre against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The rare scenario fully enraged Gardner the minute it happened, and it still so upset him afterward that he called the umpire who ejected him a liar in the minutes after the Yankees' 8-2 loss.
"I just -- I don't understand it," Gardner said. "Didn't then. Still don't. It's not right."
At the exact moment Gardner was tossed by plate umpire Chris Segal, cameras showed the center fielder sitting quietly on the bench with a bat in one hand and holding a water bottle in the other.
In the foreground, Yankees manager Aaron Boone could be seen voicing his displeasure at a strike call Segal made seconds before the ejection. At the same time, outfielder Cameron Maybin, sitting near Gardner on the bench, shouted a couple of words to Segal too.
"I think he heard some stuff from our dugout and threw somebody out, and frankly, had to come up with something," Boone said. "I thought it was a bad decision to throw somebody out of the game.
"To just pick somebody out, again, if you're going to do those kind of things, be correct in doing so."
How did Segal explain to Boone his reasoning for believing Gardner was the one shouting and needed to be ejected?
"[Segal said] he just knew," Boone said. "He heard Gardy say it."
Gardner's ejection came in the middle of an at-bat by Yankees outfielder Mike Tauchman. After ruling a close, low pitch a strike, it appeared Segal had had enough of the chirping from the New York dugout. Before that call, the Yankees had spent much of the night angrily protesting other pitches they didn't think were strikes.
Immediately after calling the first-pitch strike, Segal took his mask off and glanced quickly in the Yankees' direction before turning and motioning forcefully with his right arm as he shouted: "Dugout. Gone."
Boone hopped off his first-step perch in response, with his hands out, trying to figure out who exactly had been ejected. Segal told him it was Gardner.
The Yankees say no warning was issued prior to the ejection.
"I didn't even open my mouth, which is unusual for me," Gardner said. "He just wanted to assume, or wanted to take a guess, and he was wrong. And then he lied to me about it -- which is a huge problem -- and that's what made me a little upset."
Boone was continuing to argue with Segal when Gardner realized he had been kicked out of the game. About 45 seconds after the ejection, a Yankees assistant sitting next to him on the bench told Gardner he was the one who had been booted. In disbelief, Gardner jogged out onto the field to find out the news for himself.
"I didn't say anything," Gardner could be seen saying to umpires. "I didn't say a word. Not one word. Not one word."
Very quickly, his plea of innocence turned into anger. Gardner started hopping in the direction of Segal and crew chief and first-base umpire Dan Iassogna as Boone and Tauchman tried holding him back. Gardner slipped out of their grasps a couple of times but never got particularly close to the umpires.
"Gardy's as competitive and as fiery as they come, and if you're going to get kicked out of a game, you want it to be justified and warranted," Boone said. "So I understand how fired up he was, and I found out how strong he was trying to hold him back.
"He's quicker than me, he's faster, younger, stronger, all of it."
Tauchman, who dropped his bat to get a better grip on his teammate, also found out just how slippery and feisty Gardner can be.
"At that point, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything like an incidental contact or anything that could cause him to miss some time, because he's incredibly important to our team," Tauchman said. Admittedly, Tauchman thought the "borderline" pitch he took was also "probably on the plate."
Eventually, Gardner was walked back to the dugout by Boone and Iassogna before collecting his batting gloves and a bat and walking down the steps that lead back toward the clubhouse.
It was the fifth career ejection for the 35-year-old Gardner.
After the game, Segal didn't make himself available to a pool reporter, but Iassogna spoke in his role as crew chief.
He didn't say much.
"I won't comment on any ejection that happened out on the field," Iassogna told the pool reporter. "It will be put on our report and we will put in what happened on the field, and we will watch the tape."
Asked whether he thought Segal might owe him an apology after he watched the tape, Gardner blurted out: "Not interested."
While Gardner might have been silent during the at-bat that led to his ejection, moments earlier he could be seen making a racket in the dugout as the Yankees bemoaned a called third strike on outfielder Maybin, the hitter who batted one spot before Tauchman.
As Maybin took a pitch that was just below the strike zone tracker used by game broadcasters YES Network and Sportsnet Canada, Gardner was in the dugout jamming his bat into the ceiling. At the same time, Boone and bench coach Josh Bard were yelling at Segal about the call.
Gardner was sitting in about the same spot in the dugout during both close calls.
"Last time I checked, that wasn't against the rules," Gardner said of his bat-ramming display. "Just super frustrating. Just when you think you've seen it all -- I don't even know what to say."
As speechless as Gardner might generally have been about the entire situation, he was rather pointed in his comments about what type of consequence should befall Segal and his umpiring crew. He doesn't foresee any coming their way.
"Of course there's not going to be," Gardner said. "No accountability whatsoever. Probably doesn't have to talk to anyone about it, unfortunately. Wanted me out of the game, and that was that.
"Just be better at your job. It's an example of a young umpire and the game's moving too fast for him, some guys are getting in his ear."
Segal, who has split his time working at both the major league and Triple-A levels since 2014, is 37.
Following his ejection, Gardner was replaced in the batting order by Aaron Judge, who was getting the day off. Judge checked in to right field, forcing Maybin, who started in right, to move to left, and Tauchman to move from left field to center, where Gardner had been playing.
"That makes me madder than anything," Gardner said of Judge having to play on his off day. "That's the last thing I would do is do something to get intentionally thrown out, and him having to come in off the bench like that."
Tauchman's fourth-inning at-bat ended with a different set of fireworks. He homered to right to put the Yankees on the scoreboard. It was his 12th homer of the season.

The e-mails started arriving shortly after we announced we were in the market for a new car, with the Dodge Caravan nearing the end of its natural life. The messages came with subject lines such as "Mini Cooper Works GP Teased with 300 Horsepower" and "Attend Mini Driving School – Free!" These were not spam coming from an anonymous Mini Cooper server in cyberspace. These were almost-daily reminders from my father-in-law that we should buy a Mini Cooper Countryman, just like the one he drives.
He was a Mini Cooper convert, a zealot. After owning a Nissan Maxima, and prior to that a Buick Park Avenue, my father-in-law bought a Mini Cooper in 2012 and has been smitten ever since. He lives in western New York and wanted a car with a go-kart feel and a roomy interior (he's 6 foot 2, so that's a big selling point). All it took was one test drive and he was completely sold. "It's fun to drive even on short trips," he says. "At 80 years old, I need all the fun I can get."
That fun seems to include making sure we get a Mini Cooper of our own.
Review: The quickest Mini on the market is worthy of the John Cooper Works badge
What Mini meant then, and what Mini means now
My father-in-law's exhortations to try the Mini triggered a strange response in me. I didn't doubt that the Mini Cooper was a solid car. The online reviews are positive. I knew we'd probably enjoy owning one. It was more of a psychological reaction. If we got a Mini Cooper, I'd have to admit that someone I was related to was right. I'd be sacrificing my individuality on the altar of sound reason.
It made me wonder how many one-car families there are out there. But by one-car, I mean an entire extended family all driving a single brand. Families often vote the same. How many drive the same? Are there clans out there who all drive Ford F-150s? Or Toyota Camrys? Do they go out in convoys and descend on roadside gas stations like bikers in a teen film from the 1950s? I could foresee a future in which everyone drove Minis and our first grandchild received a little toy Mini Cooper for its first birthday. We'd be part of a gang.
My minivan isn't much to look at, but it is unique – unique in the way that no two pus-filled cysts are alike and no two strep infections are precisely the same. Unique in a bad way, but unique nonetheless.
Still, why let neurosis and insecurity get in the way of a good drive?
I arranged to try out an "Absolute Black Metallic" 2019 JCW Countryman ALL4 with a "Carbon Black Punch" leather interior. It's the largest Mini crossover, and it came with all the extras – heated front seats, panorama sunroof, piano-black interior trim, Harman Kardon sound system, Mini Connected Navigation Plus and an 8.8-inch full-colour touchscreen. Price: $46.990.
I was immediately struck by the purple interior door lights. I loved them. They reminded me of Prince. They turned out to be part of the Mini Excitement Package, which offers 12 types of ambient light as well as exterior door and handle lighting. The best part of the package was the logo projection from the exterior mirror on the driver's side, which shone a Mini wings logo onto the sidewalk. This feature should not have delighted me as much as it did.
I got the JCW Countryman out on the road and enjoyed its pep. The driver is low to the ground – at least lower than in my minivan – and I savoured the chance to zip in and out of traffic (always signalling, of course). On the highway, the acceleration was powerful. I managed to get it up on the higher edge but did not – as my father-in-law suggested – find out if the 2019 JCW's speedometer "will track speeds in excess of 160 mph."
Going 257 km/h on an Ontario highway after writing a column suggesting that stunt drivers face lifetime license bans didn't seem like a good idea, so I did not attempt that experiment.
So now, I've got a conundrum. I still haven't ended my search – there are plenty of other cars out there – but the JCW Countryman ALL4 is right up there on the list. Will I bring myself to admit that father-in-law knows best? Perhaps it was meant to be. I'd be going from a minivan to a Mini. Seems like a logical progression.

Origin and development of secondary somatic embryos in transformed embryogenic cultures of Medicago sativa
Document Type:
Article (Published version)
MetadataShow full item record
Non-transformed and transformed embryogenic cultures of alfalfa (Medicago saliva L. cv. Zajecarska 83), long-term maintained on growth regulator-free medium, were histologically analyzed. In all examined cultures, somatic embryos at various stages of development were observed and secondary embryos were formed in the cotyledonary, hypocotylary and radicular region of the primary embryos. Detailed histological analysis of the torpedo shape somatic embryo revealed that secondary somatic embryos arose directly from single epidermal cells of hypocotylary axis after an unequal periclinal division. Bipolar proembryos were composed of one smaller cytoplasm rich cell and one larger more vacuolated cell. Further cell division pattern was similar for both non-transformed and transformed embryos. However, multicellular origin of secondary embryos in a direct process and even from callus can not be excluded.
