On2 Technologies (NYSE MKT: ONT), formerly known as The Duck Corporation,[1] was a small publicly traded company (on the American Stock Exchange), headquartered in Clifton Park, New York, that designed video codec technology. It created a series of video codecs called TrueMotion (including TrueMotion S, TrueMotion 2, TrueMotion RT 2.0,[2] TrueMotion VP3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8).
In February 2010, On2 Technologies was acquired by Google for an estimated $124.6 million.[3]
While known by the name The Duck Corporation, they developed TrueMotion S, a codec that was used by some games for FMV sequences during the 1990s. The original office of the Duck Corporation was founded in New York City by Daniel B. Miller, Victor Yurkovsky, and Stan Marder. Miller became CEO of newly renamed On2 Technologies until Doug McIntyre was hired in late 2000, when Miller resumed his role as CTO. CEO's after McIntyre included Bill Joll and Matt Frost.
After Miller's departure in 2003, newly promoted CTO Eric Ameres moved the primary engineering office to upstate NY's capital region.[clarification needed] Ameres later departed in 2007 to pursue other research as part of the opening of the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) at his alma mater, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). After Ameres' departure in 2007 Paul Wilkins served as co-CTO with Jim Bankoski. Wilkins was founder of "Metavisual" which was acquired by On2 in 1999 to bring the VP3 codec to market. The VP3 codec became the basis of On2's future codecs as well as the basis of the open source Theora video codec.
In 1995, The Duck Corporation raised $1.5 million in venture funding from Edelson Technology Partners.
In 1997, they raised an additional $5.5 million in a venture round primarily financed by Citigroup Ventures.
In 1999, The Duck Corporation merged with Applied Capital Funding, Inc., a public company on the American Stock Exchange. The merged entity was first renamed On2.Com and then On2 Technologies, trading on the AMEX as ONT. ONT's price peaked at a little over $40 per share, briefly giving the company a market cap in excess of $1 billion.
On April 4, 2000, On2 buys Quickband, Inc.("Quickband"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially all of the assets of DVD Mags, Inc. ("DVD Mags"), a California corporation in the business of aggregating and producing short-form entertainment content for distribution across digital and traditional channels (the "Quickband Acquisition"). The Quickband Acquisition was effected pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement") dated as of March 9, 2000 by and among the Company, Quickband and DVD Mags.
In May 2007, On2 announced an agreement to acquire Finnish Hantro Products, a provider of video codecs for chips for wireless devices.[1] The acquisition was finalized on November 1, 2007.[4]
In November 2008, On2 announced that it would partner with Zencoder to create Flix Cloud, a high-capacity online video encoding service using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).[5] Flix Cloud launched in April 2009.[6]
Acquisition by Google[edit]
On 5 August 2009, Google offered to acquire On2 Technologies for $106.5 million in Google stock.[7][8][9] On 7 January 2010, Google increased its takeover offer to $133.9 million.[10] On February 17, 2010, stockholders of On2 Technologies voted to accept Google's increased offer.[11][12][13] On 19 February 2010, the transaction was completed, valued at approximately $124.6 million.[3][14][clarification needed]
After this purchase, the following message was posted on the on2.com website: "The On2 products Flix Pro, Flix Standard, Flix Exporter, Flix PowerPlayers, Flix Live, Flix DirectShow SDK, Flix Publisher and Flix Engine are no longer for sale."[15]
TrueMotion S[edit]
According to the company itself, development started in the early 1990s.[16] The first versions of the codec were mainly targeted at and used for full motion video scenes in computer games. Therefore they were especially fit to run on limited resources. Actually all versions of the codec compared quite favorably to their respective contemporary main competitors in terms of consumption of computational power. At first there were only hardware-implementations of the codec, meant to run on special hardware boards only.
This was the first version in the TrueMotion series of proprietary lossy video compression formats and video codec. This format compressed frame in either a 32-bit or 16-bit RGB color space with a FourCC of DUCK
(or TMOT
for a version of TrueMotion S that was licensed by Horizon Technologies[17]). It is usually put in an AVI container. The filename extension varies from game to game. Some leave it with .avi
, other games use .bin
or .duc
. The codec is notorious for being used frequently during the 32-bit era of video game consoles. For example the games Bug!, Bug Too! or Fighting Vipers (all Sega Saturn) used this codec for FMV sequences. Simon & Schuster first person games such as Star Trek: Borg also used the compression format. Nowadays, TrueMotion S is obsolete. Some of the files can be played back with a video player that uses the libavcodec library, such as MPlayer.
In 1995, Horizons Technology Inc. began shipping the TrueMotion-S Compressor software for Macintosh and MS Windows.[18][19] TrueMotion-S was originally developed by the Duck Corp. for applications such as the Sega game box.
In 1996, the main competitors for TrueMotion S software codec were Cinepak and Indeo in games for first-generation CD-ROM based game consoles.[20]
TrueMotion RT[edit]
The "real time" version in the series was released in 1996. It was meant for real time capturing and processing of digital video.
TrueMotion 2[edit]
The second version in this series only supported a 24-bit RGB color space optimized for Windows rendering which orders components as BGR with a FourCC of TM20. Used for Final Fantasy 7 and Star Trek: Klingon.
In 1997, Microsoft Corp. licensed The Duck Corp.'s TrueMotion 2.0 video codec technology to bring TV-quality video to the PC platform.[21]
DK ADPCM Audio 3/4[edit]
There are two obsolete versions for associated ADPCM audio compression.
TrueMotion VP3/4[edit]
In June 1, 2000 brought version 3.1; August 16, 2000 version 3.2. The third version in the series switched to using a planar Y'CbCr 4:2:0 color space.
In late 2001, On2 released their VP3(.2) compression technology into the open-source community including their patents on the technology. The technology lives on in the form of Theora. The Xiph.Org Foundation created its codec Theora as a fork of the codebase of VP3.2. The forked version added 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 sub sampling for better color quality options.
In April 2001 VP4 was published, which brought only an improved encoder for the same bitstream format.[citation needed]
TrueMotion VP5/6[edit]
A preview version of VP5 was published on February 21, 2002 with production version being available as of May 1, 2002.[22][23][24] The production version of VP5 codec was released in May 2002.[25]
When the codec was in beta, to preview its quality, On2 created a plug-in for RealPlayer.[25] Lately the final version of the codec was ready. The VP5 codec was limited, when the VP6 came out.
The sixth version like VP3 and VP4 kept the same bitstream as VP5 and added an optional alpha channel to the color space.
In April 2003 AOL has bought broad licensing rights for VP5 and VP6 codecs.[26] More recently,[when?] On2 licensed its technology to AOL for use in an IP-based video telephony product, to Tencent Holdings of China for use in its instant messaging products, and to Saver Corporation of Japan to enable new Flash 8 mobile video applications.
On May 12, 2003 On2 announced the release of VP6.[27] Revised versions 6.1 and 6.2 followed later that year. Since October 2003 it may be used free of charge for personal use.
In late 2003, On2 announced that its VP5 and VP6 codecs were selected by Beijing E-World as a video coding method to be used in a Chinese-developed competitor to the DVD format called the EVD (Enhanced Versatile Disc) format. Then in April 2004, On2 announced that its business relationship with E-World had soured, and that On2 would file multiple breach of contract claims against E-World in arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator reached a conclusion on March 10, 2005, according to SEC filings by On2 on March 14, 2005. The arbitrator dismissed each of On2's claims and ruled that E-World owed nothing to On2 and had not breached the contract. It seems unlikely that On2 will ultimately get any significant payback from the EVD initiative, although some contract relationship remains in effect.
A number of less highly visible deals with other customers and partners seem to have worked out more amicably than the Chinese DVD project. Recent announcements have related to deals with Apex Datacom, IWAPI Inc., Vividas, Digital Witness, XM Satellite Radio, PowerLinx, and LeapFrog Enterprises. In particular, the company indicated that it expected to recognize some revenue from the Leapfrog deal in the third quarter of 2005 and also made optimistic statements about the future with XM Satellite Radio.
In 2004, On2's VP6 was selected for use as the Macromedia Flash Video 8 codec. This apparently stems from a deal made in the second quarter of 2004 with revenue in that quarter of $1.4 million for the licensing agreement. In related news, On2 announced on April 5, 2005 that it had acquired the Flix Flash video encoder technology from Wildform, Inc. On2 added support for Flash 8 video output to the Flix 8 product line that they released on September 13, 2005.
TrueMotion VP7[edit]
The seventh version changed the bitstream from previous versions for better coding efficiency was released in March 2005; since July it may be used free of charge for personal use.
It is a codec with both VFW and DirectShow support that On2 Technologies claims has better compression than leading competitive codecs such as MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) and VC-1.[citation needed]
On2 Technologies announced TrueMotion VP7 in January 2005.[28] The public release of VP7 codec software was available in March 2005.[29]
On March 9, 2005, On2 announced a new codec, VP7. On2 claimed that VP7 is superior to the H.264/AVC standard, based on claims of comparative technical capabilities and licensing costs. This claim has been disputed by a developer of x264, a popular H.264 encoder.[30]
In April 2005, On2 Technologies licensed On2 Video Codecs (including VP6 and VP7) for Macromedia Flash.[31]
On December 1, 2005, Skype announced that they had licensed current and future versions of its video compression software and had integrated it into the Beta version of Skype 2.0 for point-to-point video conferencing Skype protocol.[32] No financial terms were disclosed relating to the deal.
On August 13, 2007, On2 announced the addition of H.264 support to its On2 Flix product line.[33]
Move Networks also used the VP7 codec in its Move Media Player plugin for Firefox and Internet Explorer, used by ABC and Fox for its streaming of full network shows.[34]
TrueMotion VP8[edit]
VP8 was published in 2008 and marked the transfer of formats to Google with their acquisition of On2 and was Open Sourced on May 19, 2010.[35] The VP8 codec was licensed under a BSD license.[36][37]

*facepalm* Westboro Baptist Church To Protest Comic-Con For "Idol-Worship"
Well folks, Comic-Con is only a week away and I was denied a booth despite my promise to "only drink from a flask" and "sign the everliving-shit out of some f***in' autographs". So yeah, maybe next year. My Deku-Link costume going unworn aside, members of the gay-hating Westboro Baptist Church (best known for the confused looks on their faces when they find themselves burning in hell) plan to protest the convention for idol-worship. Per the "don't you have something better to do?" church itself:
Are you kidding?! If these people would spend even some of the energy that they spend on these comic books, reading the Bible, well no high hopes here. They have turned comic book characters into idols, and worship them they do! Isaiah 2:8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. It is time to put away the silly vanities and turn to God like you mean it. The destruction of this nation is imminent - so start calling on Batman and Superman now, see if they can pull you from the mess that you have created with all your silly idolatry.
They, uh, do know Batman and Superman aren't real, right? And why isn't the church all over the parents who let their children worship the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus? Oh, right, those are their people. AMERICAN IDOL IS DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY.

Dennard Drafted In 7th Round; Crick Picked In 4th Round
Posted: 3:19 PM Apr 28, 2012
Reporter: Adam Krueger
Former Husker cornerback Alfonzo Dennard was drafted by the New England Patriots in the 7th and final round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He was at one point projected to be selected in the early rounds but after he was charged with assaulting an officer earlier this week, his stock fell.
Dennard's former teammate, Jared Crick, was picked in the 4th round by the Houston Texans.

Ranked among the top gynecology programs by U.S. News & World Report
Published: Sept. 26, 2008
Updated: Sept. 8, 2010
Understanding a diagnosis can help you determine the treatment option that will fit you best. Select a diagnosis below to learn more about its effects on your fertility.
Read about medications commonly used in fertility treatments
Adenomyosis is uterine thickening that occurs when endometrial tissue, which normally lines the uterus, extends into the fibrous and muscular tissue of the uterus.
Ectopic Pregnancy
An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that has occurred outside of the uterine cavity. The fallopian tube is the most common site for ectopic pregnancies to occur.
Endometriosis is a chronic condition that is defined by the presence of endometrial tissue located outside the cavity of the uterus.
Enlarged thyroid
An enlarged thyroid may be an indicator of an underlying thyroid problem involving abnormal production of thyroid hormone. Treatment of thyroid problems often allows the return of normal menstrual cycles and ovulation.
Fibroids are muscle tumors of the uterus that are very common in the general population. They arise from a single smooth muscle cell that has lost the proper signaling to stop growing. Over time the muscle tumors get larger and may start to cause problems.
Galactorrhea (release of milk in a non-pregnant woman) will be evaluated by a prolactin level. Prolactin tumors can cause an interruption of cyclic ovulation and thereby interfere with pregnancy.
Hydrosalpinx is the term used to describe a fallopian tube that has become dilated and fluid-filled. These are usually always caused by some type of pelvic infection including gonorrhea, chlamydia, and polymicrobial (multiple bacteria) infections.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) occurs in approximately 1 to 5 percent of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation cycles. Risk factors that predispose a woman to OHSS include polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and other ovulatory disorders.
Ovarian cysts
Ovarian cysts are misunderstood and extremely common. There are multiple types of cysts, including ones that are malignant, but by far the most common type of cyst is the functional cyst.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a set of clinical findings and not a disease itself. There are many abnormalities which may collectively produce the findings which characterize PCOS.
Pregnancy loss
Generally this topic is not discussed adequately. Understanding the symptoms and statistics behind the loss of an early pregnancy can better prepare you for the treatment cycle.

Odd Spring Leaves Michigan's Cherry & Apple Crops in Bad Shape
Posted: 6:36 PM Jun 8, 2012
Reporter: Associated Press
Industry groups say early predictions of a bad year for fruit crops in Michigan's northwestern Lower Peninsula are coming true.
The Michigan Frozen Food Packers Association tells the Traverse City Record-Eagle (http://bit.ly/Km7sur) the region's tart cherry growers expect to process about 2 million pounds this year. That's a tiny fraction of the amount in more typical seasons. The total was 92.5 million pounds in 2011.
Suttons Bay cherry farmer Don Gregory said he expects to harvest less than 1 percent of his average crop, if anything.
An unusual warm-up in March followed by sub-freezing temperatures in April has devastated many of Michigan's orchard crops.
The food packers group says apple production in northwestern Michigan will total about 2.5 million bushels, a drop-off of more than 90 percent from last year.

Friction conditions on contact point of discby mavk Tags: conditions, contact, disc, friction, point |
Feb8-13, 06:53 AM
I have some doubts regarding the friction force on a certain situation. Imagine a disc over a fixed flat surface. Like this: The disc has two motions, rotational and translational but these are independent of each other. I mean the translational motion does not come from the rotation of the disc, imagine an external force that moves the disc. Now, with this in mind lets say that the disc is moving from left to right always keeping contact with the surface. At the same time the disc is rotating with an angular velocity clockwise. Because of the different movements, at the contact point, there is slip. Now to the question itself. What kind of friction do I have at the contact point? Do I have rolling or sliding friction at the contact point? and what direction does the friction force have since the disc is moving to the right but at the contact point the direction of rotation is to the left? Thank you. |

Francois et Mimi Set of 6 Large-Sized 14 Ounce Colored Ceramic Coffee & Soup Mugs $9.99 FS w/Prime ~ Amazon
Last edited by DeividdoSama; 09-28-2013 at 09:37 PM..
I bought these with a print on it and it was very cheaply made..none of them were stamped properly..some were so high up that a third of the pattern was missing and 2 were broken on arrival..I wanted to use it as a teachers gift after filling it with coffee and chocolate but it was super cheap looking so was tough..I took the most decent one out of the bunch that was just missing a hair of the design and used that..I didn't bother returning it and just use the other 3 for daily use since it was so cheap anyway..Also keep in mind it's not those really big mugs..it barely fit the coffee I put in it so I tilted it to sort of fit put the chocolate in but only fir like 5 pieces so i let it overflow and wrapped it in clear wrap tightly and tied it so u have to kind of work with it if ur looking to use it as a gift
Sent from the official Slickdeals App for iPhone & iPad. |
These are awfully small - I bought two sets last time they were on slick deals for 12.95. each (ugh) and they are still sitting in their boxes over a year later. I wish it was easier to return to amazon because these are junk (unless you like microcups haha). I am trying to sell them at yard sales and no ones biting!
Sorry never been so disappointed by a slickdeal purchase as I was with these mugs- I just thought they would be bigger and a little better made. Just wanted to throw it out there, don't want to thread crap. |

Nature's Menorah
by Daniel Johnson, guest contributor
This picture reminds me of a menorah, with the milkweed pods representing tongues of fire and the sunlit trees in the background strengthening the fire imagery. We are midway through the Festival of Lights, which is also known as Hanukkah. This festival is represented by the menorah, a candle holder with 9 branches.

I used Photoshop CS2 and Bryce 6 exclusively. I started in photshop, drawing a very rough draft. I think I put some of that up as a WIP. From the rough draft, I created a grayscale heightmap for the land and imported it into Bryce as a terrain object.
Over that terrain, I built the basic structure of the fort walls using Bryce primitives (cubes and cylinders). With more terrain objects, I tore out large chunks of the walls (upside down boolean operations). And, after giving it a basic texture, I rendered it from three angles - the top view (for the outside map), the side view (for the elevation), and the scenic view (for... um... the scenic view). I also rendered a bunch of masks for post-render tweaking.
The rest was just me in Photoshop with a Wacom tablet using the assorted techniques gleaned from this fine forum.
I thought the detail was pretty good (and if you compare it to the muddy mess I made for last month's challenge, it's downright fantastic). The problem is that it goes from a 900K file to well over 4Mb and I can't tell any real difference in quality. But, maybe I'm doing something wrong. Let me play with the settings a bit...

It's a Small World
There are 2,860 miles between Des Moines, Iowa and Cancun, Mexico. This distance is great enough that you don't expect to run into anyone you know, much less several of them. Yet, while vacationing in Cancun with my family I ran into coworkers, students at my daughter's school and someone who lived about a half mile from us (even though we didn't know it until then). So much for anonymity. But, it is a great reminder of the importance of the Golden Rule:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Business owners that have sold all or part of their company to Employee Stock Ownership Plans understand this well. They recognize that many of the things that are important to them are also important to their employees.
Business owners are generally looking for a return in excess of what they could make as a salary working elsewhere. Employees also appreciate the upside potential that comes with ownership – a return on their sweat equity. They want the ability to see their wealth increase by more than just their salary as a result of their efforts. They want the knowledge that if things go well they can retire more comfortably than they could on their savings alone. Read more

How do we ensure that government, schools and local government meet the RRAA Race Equality Duty through implementation of the Education and Inspections Bill? Education is key to reducing segregation in society. However education is often more segregated than the society it serves Schools and local government have a duty under the Race Relations Amendment Act to promote equality Is this undermined by the Education and Inspections Bill? What will be the impact of Trust Schools? Is the role of local government strong enough? This seminar, with key players, examines how potential adverse impact on equality by the Bill can be obviated. What has to be done? What are the obstacles to success? How can they be overcome? Chair Prof Gus John Chair and Chief Executive The Gus John Partnership Ltd Speakers Andrea Berkeley (See biography) Recently Headteacher Preston Manor High School Mr Pinaki Ghoshal (See biography) Assistant Chief Education Officer (Individual Pupil Services) Manchester City Council www.manchester.gov.uk/education/diversity/ema Heather Rockhold Headteacher Lauriston Primary School Cheron Byfield Chair The National Black Boys Can Association Mr Ralph Tabberer Director General, Schools DfES Tahir Alam Chair, Education Committee The Muslim Council of Britain www.mcb.org.uk Ms Jane Joyner Head of Curriculum & Dissemination Division Office for Standards in Education - Ofsted www.ofsted.gov.uk Mr Nick Johnson Director Commission for Racial Equality www.cre.gov.uk BACKGROUND The Education and Inspections Bill aims to ensure every child in every school in every community gets an education they need to enable them to fulfil their potential. Schools and local government have a duty under the Race Relations Amendment Act to promote equality. Is this undermined by the Bill? How can this be resolved? Government's own Race Equality Impact Assessment of the Bill shows that some policies, taken in isolation, might have the potential to cause an adverse impact on race equality. However, measures remain justified provided that risks are monitored, and risks of adverse impact should be minimised. Trust schools are to be expanded and given more decision making. Can this lead to more selection and discrimination? Local councils are given a new strategic role to promote choice, high standards and every child's potential. Fair access is to be ensured through Admissions Forums and Schools Adjudicator. Is the role of local government strong enough? The Commission for Racial Equality see three fundamental issues in improving the position of ethnic minority pupils : Integration and community cohesion Disproportionate take up of provision Differential levels of attainment They wish to ensure all schools make clear their contribution to community cohesion, the Schools Commissioner addresses potential uneven take-up of trust school places by different ethnic groups and that policy addresses differential progress and attainment by different groups. Education is key to reducing segregation in society. However, evidence shows education is more segregated than the society it serves. Could this be worsened by the new arrangements? CRE sees risks that the choice provided by trust schools could worsen the position of disadvantaged groups. This should be addressed by clear measures by Government, local government and the Schools Commissioner, whose role could be pivotal. Of all groups, gypsies, Roma, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and some black pupils do not achieve as well as others. Could this be worsened? Policy should aim to close gaps between different ethnic and socio-economic groups. How can this be achieved? Ofsted has found that RRAA has provided a formal structure to guide and stimulate work to tackle attainment gaps between different groups. They recommend that race equality concepts should be seen as normal part of effective education. Schools should conduct audits of training needs of all staff, which should then be secured by the school or LEA. Government intends to monitor the outcomes of new policies for ethnic minority pupils. The Schools Commissioner will have a key role in monitoring impact on different communities. DfES will review the findings and their own monitoring to inform any future policy changes. This seminar, with key players, examines how potential adverse impact on equality by the Bill can be obviated. What has to be done? What are the obstacles to success? How can they be overcome?

Forget mansion tax…..get ready for garden tax
by Alex Steger on Dec 03, 2012 at 10:48
The Liberal Democrat's plans for a mansion tax may have been vetoed by David Cameron, but property size still matters as HM Revenue & Customs is looking to levy more tax against homeowners with big gardens.
According to the Sunday Times the taxman is dusting off an obscure rule which has been in the statute book since the 1960s and would see it charge Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on the sale of land above one and a quarter acres, around the size of a football pitch.
Currently homeowners can sell their main residence and its grounds free from CGT where the garden is less than 1.23 acres.
Where grounds are bigger full relief can still be claimed where owners can show the grounds are required for 'the reasonable enjoyment of the house as a resident'.
HMRC confirmed to the Sunday Times that it was making it harder to claim above the limit by cross checking stamp duty records paid by most homes owners with CGT declarations by sellers.

Yet more confirmation that
A) This government cannot get relected
B) It knows it
C) It has got so far off course that as the next election nears, they will start fighting amongst themselves for a Tory leadership contest
Don't forget, we have already passed the half-way mark, and for any government with "nasties" on its agenda, they need to have been announced/delivered before the first 2 years have been completed.

You can't get elected by saying "we'll cut spending". Hence the current Government had to give a guarantee of no cuts to the blessed NHS (an annual budget somewhere north of £100 billion). The NHS budget is is dwarfed by the DWP budget and every time IDS tries to suggest a cut or limit to this bloated mechanism the Lib Dems and Labour cry that it is a disgrace. The proletariat have no idea what has been done in their name for the past 70 years. Maybe they don't want to know but if this continues the UK will have to default and democracy is at risk. It's just the 1970s all over again....sick man of Europe.....winter of discontent etc etc.

In order to avoid this proposed garden tax, I shall use the proposed relaxation in the rules for planning permission to convert my bungalow into a mansion, thereby swallowing up some of my garden and reducing it's size below the limit.
If they can come up with idiotic ideas, so can I.

A 'Fund for Scholarly Research and Creative Work and Professional Development (Adjuncts)', has been established. This fund will provide support either in the form of salary stipends or a grant (provided through a research/professional development account) for scholarly and creative work or professional development undertaken by eligible Adjunct Members.
The Fund shall be administered by a sub-committee of the JCAA. The sub-committee shall determine the frequency of competitions (which shall be a maximum of three per academic year - normally around the end of May, September, and January) and the form and deadlines for application to the Fund.
It is the intention of the Parties that the Fund be used to support as many deserving applications as possible. In making awards from the Fund, the sub-committee shall give consideration to the relative merits of proposed applications and projects and to other sources of funding available to the applicant.
Adjunct Members may make more than one application in any year but no more than $2,500 per year shall be awarded to an Adjunct Member who is teaching one (1.0) or less full course equivalents per year and no more than $5,000 shall be awarded to an Adjunct Member who is teaching more than one (1.0) course equivalents per year.
Adjunct Members who have previously received awards from the Fund shall submit a report to the sub-committee of the JCAA on the progress or completion of the scholarly or creative work, or professional development as set out in their applications to the Fund.
Post-Doctoral Fellows are not eligible to apply to the Fund for Scholarly Research and Creative Work and Professional Development while holding an appointment as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at Queen's University.
The Application Form can be accessed by clicking the link. Please read the application instructions carefully and ensure that your submission is complete.
Read about how Wendy Powley - one of your colleagues - has made use of this fund:
"What great things could you do with a small investment in your professional development? I have been a research associate and adjunct lecturer at Queen's since 1992. Although I have been fortunate to have numerous opportunities for growth and development provided through my research appointment, the Fund for Scholarly Research and Creative Work and Professional Development has afforded me some independence to explore areas outside of our research area. In 2010, I attended the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing conference (GHC); the largest international conference for women in computing. This was a fantastic experience that raised my awareness of the severe lack of female participation in the high tech sector. I was inspired (along with our Women in the School of Computing (WISC) group) to spawn the inaugural Ontario Celebration of Women in Computing (ONCWIC) which was held here in Kingston in October, 2010. The goal of this event was to provide an experience similar to the GHC for female computer science students in Ontario and to grow the network of female computer scientists within the province. ONCWIC is now in its fourth year, having been hosted by a unique university each year. The conference is attended by close to 200 women per year and is inspiring youth outreach activities across the province and raising awareness of need to attract more women to the field. As a result of our efforts, the percentage of women in the School of Computing exceeds the national average by more than 20%. Other universities consult with us for advice on how to recruit and retain female students. For my work in this area, I was awarded the inaugural Queen's Equity award in 2012. All these accomplishments were due to a $2500 grant awarded to me by the Fund for Scholarly Research and Creative Work and Professional Development. This is a perfect example of how far a small investment in an adjunct's professional development can go. Not only did I personally benefit from the experience, but it inspired me to inspire others and effect change not only at Queen's, but within the province. I challenge you to seek out professional development opportunities that would be beneficial and inspiring to you and to apply for funding from the Fund for Scholarly Research and Creative Work and Professional Development to take advantage of these opportunities."
Congratulations to the following Adjuncts who were awarded funds in the Fall Term, Fall/Winter Session:

In a nutshell, I need help! This is what happen:
- Bought an used ipad1, 4.3.5 jail broken.
- Attempted to downgrade to 4.3.3 by using tinyumbrella, then itunes, selected the 4.3.3restore.ipsw and thing ran smooth (at least it looked like that). The ipad never turned back on!
- After finished, itunes gave a message indicating that found an ipad in DFU, ready to restored. I tried turning it back on, doing a had reset and even using RecBoot, but it wont come back.
- Everytime I connect it, itunes will recognize it with the pop-up "Ipad needs to be restored before using". I tried restoring back to 4.3.5 but then it tells me that itunes can't contact the update server.
- Then I tried the pwnage tool, did the whole process step-by-step, but no luck. I looks like it installs the firmware but after completed, it wont turn on.
Side note: I was completely unaware of ther SHSH blobs until after the fact, im pretty sure this doesn't make things any easier...
Please help me restore it!

A Message from Oprah: The End of the Line
Oprah.com | April 06, 2004
To all my Book Club friends,
We're at the "end of the line" in this epic chronicle! Do you feel as though you've come full circle?
To the very end, Gabriel García Márquez's cycles of birth and death, passion and pathos, truth and fantasy, keep us riveted. Will Aureliano discover he's in love with his aunt? Will Amaranta Úrsula's baby be born with the tail of a pig? Can love break the family's curse? What do those parchments ultimately reveal?!
Again and again, Marquez takes on flights of fantasy, obsession and fate.
We may know it's wrong for the lonely Aureliano and the free-spirited Amaranta Úrsula to be together, but a part of us sympathizes with their connection. All his life Aureliano has lived in solitude, punished by Fernanda for being illegitimate, and pushed to the edges of family life like a ghost before his time.
When Amaranta Úrsula swoops into town, she stirs something in Aureliano that he has never felt before. Melquíades' mysteriously encoded parchments cannot compete—Amaranta Úrsula just exudes sexuality—and she likes it! Aureliano's obsession with her drives him out of the house in search of human interactions and physical distractions.
If Aureliano's fate is tied to his name, Amaranta Úrsula hasn't fallen far from the tree either. She bears the curse of the most condemning Buendía traits: romantic ventures (like repopulating the sky with canaries that only want to fly home) and the hereditary vice of "making something just to unmake it," especially when the house is concerned. (p. 410) Amaranta Úrsula takes the novel's female traits to new heights—exceeding Pilar Ternera's sexual prowess, Úrsula's fierce independence, and her mother Meme's modern spirit. But she can't escape the burden of the name Amaranta—remember, two previous generations of Buendía men had died completely obsessed with the original Aunt Amaranta.
better judgment, this ill-fated duo conceives the mythical pig-tailed baby, fulfilling Úrsula's doomsday prophecy. Not completely naive about what they've done, Amaranta Úrsula and Aureliano try to investigate just how close they are on the family tree. But "forgiveness" reaches out and wraps its arms around them—no one in the town even remembers their family now—and they have to settle for Fernanda's Biblical story about finding him in a basket in the river.
Can their child, the first in the family born out of love, create a new destiny for the Buendías?
"...he was one of the great Buendías, strong and willful like the José Arcadios, with the open and clairvoyant eyes of the Aurelianos, and predisposed to begin the race again from the beginning and cleanse it of its pernicious vices and solitary calling, for he was the only one in a century who had been engendered with love." (p. 442) Does love create the hope of new possibilities? Or are the Buendías destined to an eternity of solitude?
It's up to you to decide!
In his autobiography, Gabo writes that as a child he devoured books..."longing to know what happened in the next line and at the same time longing not to break the spell..."
He tells us, "I learned and never forgot that we should read only those books that force us to reread them."
One Hundred Years of Solitude
, Gabriel García Márquez has certainly written a superb book that we can—and many of us will—reread again and again!

The Spirit of America: Native Voices from North America & The Caribbean
This week's show focused on traditional music that hits a little closer to home, indigenous music of North America & The Caribbean. The popular perception of Native American music often involves rain dances and various spirit rituals. However, Native American music is utilized for many different purposes, and both the function and style of music vary greatly based on the particular region of the continent. Below is a picture of a member of the Navajo tribe in ceremonial dress.
(Picture courtesy of http://www.firstpeople.us)
Also, highlighted in this show is the transplantation of traditional African music to the Caribbean. One aspect I mention in this show, is an inability to find traditional music of native Caribbean islanders. This could either be because of the assimilation of these people into early settlers and slaves or a large dying off of these people due to disease and conquest. However, traditional African music does still exist in the Caribbean to a large extent and is an interesting part of the music culture.
The show is located at the bottom of your screen. Apologies for the overlap with the previous show, just skip the first few minutes. Here is the playlist for the show. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions regarding the show. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

The economy and gas prices are affecting hotel demand, but are they affecting room rates yet? For every 10 percent increase in gas prices, there is a correlating 0.5 percent decline in hotel demand, said Bjorn Hanson, a hospitality and leisure researcher for PricewaterhouseCoopers, at the 30th annual New York University International Hospitality Industry Investment Conference, held last week in New York.
But the decrease in demand is not expected to slow room rate growth any time soon, said Mark V. Lomanno, president of Smith Travel Research, Hendersonville, Tenn., in a separate session. He pointed out that despite the reduced availability of credit, and given the economic environment, the fact that hotel room rates have not declined is encouraging for the hotel industry.
Lomanno said he doesn't expect negative growth in RevPAR--revenue per available room--the industry metric that examines room revenue in a hotel property divided by the number of rooms available. For the first five months of this year, RevPAR was at 2.6 percent in the U.S. The ADR, or average daily rate, another hotel industry measure that looks at room revenue in a property divided by the number of rooms occupied, was up 5.4 percent at the end of May, Smith reports. RevPAR was up 4.6 percent at the end of May.
Still another piece of good news for the hotel industry is that while supply is growing, it is growing at the "low end of historical norms," Lomanno said. At the end of April, hotel supply was up 2.2 percent. Overall, Smith Travel forecasts supply growth of 2.4 percent by 2009 and demand growth of only 1.3 percent. RevPAR is likely to drop to 2.8 percent by 2009, after growing to 3 percent in 2008. "The industry will still be extremely profitable but will not necessarily generate enough RevPAR growth to cover the increased cost of doing business," Lomanno said.
Weekday occupancy is providing more revenue for hotels—a new trend, he said. At the end of April, weekday business accounted for more than $24 billion in hotel revenue, up from more than $23 billion for the same period of 2007.

For 10 days next month Austin, Texas will become the epicentre for the global media and tech industries when SXSW again opens its doors.
The music, film and tech extravaganza helped launch Twitter and Foursquare in recent years, so it's easy to see why it has a reputation as one of the world's most exciting events for digital marketers.
For the third year running Econsultancy will be heading down to Texas for SXSW, and this year we'll be hosting two roundtables in partnership with RAPP and Adometry.
There are still spaces left to attend both roundtables, which take place on the opening day of SXSW (March 7) at the Capital Factory in Austin. Read on for more details and information on how to request an invite...

The SXSWI conference has grown steadily for 20 years due in large part to its buzz factor. This year's SXSWi was different—the buzz factor was missing. In fact, the recurring theme of hallway conversations this year was precisely the lack of buzz—no dominant brand, launch, technology or story this year. No sign of the highly sharable "it" apps and mobile technology chatter of the past. This guest post comes from Metia's Deborah Hanamura who gave us her take on what she got out of SXSW last month....
"The biggest marketing splashes at SXSW came from well-established brands that are digitally savvy, but not necessarily digitally centered, such as Oreo, American Airlines, Pepsi and Doritos. Chevy received a lot of attention with their "Catch a Chevy" promotion, but much of the interest could be attributed to the lack of shuttles and the general desperation for transportation. It's also notable that BlackBerry invited a fresh look at their phones by sending skulking vans around the outskirts of the festival, while Doritos proudly dominated every snack stand and party.
Still, there wasn't another darling to celebrate this year.

Now that SXSW has drifted from interactive to music, we've taken time to reflect on how much a part social media played over the five days of the interactive festival.
The folks over at Salesforce crunched the numbers for us so we could share some of their social buzz findings from the Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

Over 27,000 technologists, marketers, vendors, speakers, PR girls and start-up founders have hit Austin en masse to learn about the next big thing - or mostly network at the spate of parties and three hour "happy hours" on offer. We've been touring the streets of Austin with our big red bus and Brandwatch and EngageSciences have been keeping a realtime board about SXSW for us at Econsultancy.
For another take on the stats surrounding SXSW, we reached out to the folks at Sysomos to get a few daily snapshots on who is talking where and what they're talking about. As we like numbers, we thought we'd share them with you too!

Nate Silver is one of very few people who is both public figure and statistician.
He started in baseball during its analytical revolution, but became famous in the U.S. for his highly accurate predictions of how Barak Obama would win the presidency in 2008, and accurately calling the outcome for all 50 states in 2012.
Silver spoke at SXSW in a session entitled "Is Intuitive Marketing Dead?"

This year at SXSW, there seems to be a great focus on the startup, entrepreneurialship and business. Also more and more of the sessions in the various streams seem to be crossing over each other. Interactive isn't the only place to hear about moves into the digital space and integration across channels so those here for Film and Music are getting a great deal of interactive learnings.
The Econsultancy US team are going strong in Austin covering sessions and conducting interviews of some of of the great speakers converging on Texas. You can follow along on our interactive board "SXSW Live" as we pull in the best Tweets, pictures and articles as the conference goes.
We also pulled together a list of the few things that are going to be great to see (or at least we hope so). If you are down here at SXSW, make sure to look out for our #SXSWRedBus (we even have a real-time map to track it's progress) and follow SXSWRedBus on Twitter.

While at the SXSW 2012 Interactive Trade Show, we had a chance to tour the floor and meet with some of the companies on display.
They offered a wide range of marketing solutions and gave us a few seconds of their time to give us their elevator pitch explaining just what they do.

Today at SXSW we had a chance to speak to one of our Digital Vision winners, Boris Grinkot, about website optimization.
He will be creating tools for marketers to test and optimize in a more targeted fashion using our Digital Vision grant and he shared a bit more about his project with us.

Every year around this time, the social feeds of people who know attendees of the SxSW festival are swarmed by photos, updates and digressions about activities happening in and around Austin's convention center.
This year, the output from individual attendees was at an all time high. Between Twitter, Foursquare, Tumblr and Flickr, there are more venues than ever for those who lean toward oversharing. And not just with techies in Austin. Teens, adults and professionals around the world are increasingly comfortable sharing information online.
But as various talks, panels and discussions during SxSW this year revealed, the shift toward sharing information online by no means suggests that those oversharers are ready to forgo their privacy.

SXSWi is one of the most popular tech and conferences in the United States. Many of the tech industry's movers and shakers make their way to Austin, Texas for the conference every year along with entrepreneurs, journalists and interested observers. But has SXSWi, thanks in large part to popularity amongst non-techies and the Twitterati, been ruined?
One tech journalist, Jolie O'Dell, who writes for the popular blog ReadWriteWeb, thinks so.
