Release of Student Information
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of education records for all students at the university. The general principle is that education records are considered confidential and may not be released to third parties (including parents) without the written consent of the student. Protected elements of the student's education record include, but are not limited to, financial data, progress in courses, class scheduling, grade information, and academic disciplinary information.
Enrolled students have the ability to authorize another person, such as a parent or guardian, to view and/or pay their bursar account by creating 3rd Party User access in OneStart. Such authorization also serves as a privacy release to allow the bursar staff to discuss details of the statements with the 3rd Party User by telephone, email, or in person. See Setting up a 3rd Party User in the IU Bursar Pay Guide.

Last week saw our first ever Fjord Kitchen in Madrid, very overdue, as we had been threatening to do one for a year. It seemed that the pent up need for one exploded into a mass pileup of the great washed and unwashed of the Madrid design scene plus a lot of our most loved and valued customers.
The event was entitled A Service Design Manifesto for Change because everybody speaking felt the same need; for some kind of transformation in the local market and indeed across Europe and beyond. Inside Fjord we often toss around our terminology casually, sometimes without really thinking about whether our audience comprehends it. So it is worth taking a step back and discussing what it is we are trying to do and what we offer to our clients and the design community.
As I mentioned in my introduction to the evening we call these events kitchens because, basically, we love the opportunity to eat nice food, but also because we want the evening to feel like sitting around a kitchen table having interesting conversations with interesting people. Inviting the right guests is always the key to a good night and for our first kitchen we had three speakers who, each in their own particular way, are all key figures in the last two decades of our industry and the evolution of service design.
We started with our very own Shelley Evenson who as one of the founders of the Service Design Network has been instrumental in defining the discourse and setting out the terms and objectives of our practise. Following on was Pamela Mead, Director of User Experience at Telefonica, who is a powerful player in the Spanish design industry. Her real world perspective of trying to execute proper design inside a giant corporate service provider is illuminating and at times quite sobering for the idealists amongst us. We finished up perhaps where we started, with Gillian Crampton-Smith who as the founder of the legendary IVREA school and now as Leader of the Interaction Masters at IUAV in Venice has been shaping the minds of young designers for decades. Her graduates seem to all emerge as fully formed service designers and yet with the openness and intensity of untarnished youth.
What was most interesting in the talks was that none of our illustrious speakers exactly overlapped in their definitions of service design. This pointed to two things, 1) that we work in an expansive medium that can encompass many points of view and that 2) we are not mature enough yet as an industry to have a de facto narrative. Evidently this is both a strength and a weakness simultaneously. It means that we can stretch into almost any imaginable area of design, from interiors to devices to interfaces to processes and operations. It also means we are constantly having to reframe our offer to clients which can cause drag and frustration.
On the night, what we ended up addressing was how the Spanish market can reach maturity and move from the current state where companies still think about digital channels in a monolithic way and don't understand the need to orchestrate an overall digital ecosystem. At best companies talk about user experience and most are still fixated on online marketing, very few understand what it takes to deliver a service across multiple touch points. If even a few of the important selection of decision makers who were in the audience rethink the way they want to engage with design and how they want to launch and maintain their services, then we can count the event as a great success. Video proof below…

For the event Shelley revisited her SDN co-founder Birgit Mager's 10 service design basics an updated them for the context of 2013. They provide a wonderful and concise checklist for our discussions and work.

If you enjoy your visit
s to Marshlands Conservancy, value your local environment and the diverse wildlife it supports, and appreciate the opportunity to observe nature in a peaceful and unhurried atmosphere, the Friends of Marshlands invite you to join in their efforts to support the Conservancy.
Who We Are
The Friends of Marshlands is a
non-profit organization
dedicated to promoting the
, and
of the Conservancy and fostering a deeper understanding of nature and our role in it. Annual membership dues help to supplement Westchester County's funding of the site.
Founded in 1978
to help support the fledgling Conservancy (opened to the public in 1972), the Friends were also instrumental in fighting for the acquisition of the adjacent 23 acre Jay Property, which had been separated from Marshlands when the
former estate
was divided in 1966. Beginning in 1979, the Friends of Marshlands spent the next 13 years working with local, county, state, and federal groups to help protect the County-owned Conservancy and the newly-recognized historic district from the negative impacts of suburban encroachment. We now
advocate for a management process that preserves the wildlife habitat, historic character, air and water quality, and restorative nature of the land.
Current Board of Directors
Chris Graseck
Tom Burke
Jackie Bruskin
Board Members:
Alison Beall, Michael Bochnik, Faith Kostel-Hughes, Jon Pattengill, Walter Terrell, and Chris Mignone
Web Design & Photography:
Megan Aitchison
What We Do
Funds raised by the Friends are used in a variety of ways that support the programs, research, and facilities at Marshlands. In the past, the Friends of Marshlands have:
installed the visitor's center birding window and osprey nesting platform
purchased aquariums and related equipment
financed the re-roofing of the Barlow Lane House, possibly one of the oldest buildings on the Jay Property
installed hardwood floors in the Devereux Cottage and financed other physical improvements to the property's many buildings
funded the charting for and creation of the Marshlands trail map
sponsored numerous biodiversity research projects
purchased an insect teaching collection
co-sponsored several decades of annual art and photography exhibits
provided scholarships for summer camp and teacher training workshop participants
helped manage and purchased hand tools for the weekly volunteer work projects
advocated for sufficient staffing and proper management of the Conservancy
attended numerous meetings on the local, state, and national level concerning acquisition of the Jay Property
served on the Edith Read to Marshlands Stewardship Committee, working on conservation and education efforts in Milton Harbor and Long Island Sound
The Yellow-Crowned Night Heron
The yellow-crowned night heron was chosen to represent the Friends of Marshlands in the organization's logo because it represents how tremendously important the continued preservation of land is to threatened wildlife. With a main food source of crustaceans and a preferred nesting habitat of coastal marshes, the night heron has faced a huge loss of breeding habitat as salt marshes have been filled in and replaced with lawns and waterfront houses. When the Friends of Marshlands formed in the late 1970's, the Conservancy was the the only site in mainland New York where yellow-crowned night herons were consistently nesting. As a threatened species in New York State, preserving our salt marshes was critical to the continued success of this population. For many years they built their nests in trees along the marsh, and fed their hatchlings with crabs and fish from the channels. Unfortunately, with the arrival of great-horned owls to Marshlands in 1983, the predatory behavior of the owls against the heron nestlings was too much for the yellow-crowns, and they have since ceased using Marshlands to raise their young. The herons can sometimes still be seen visiting our marshes as they migrate through each summer, but we are forever hopeful that they may one day return to breed.

WASHINGTON, DC, March 28, 2013 – My path crossed with Candace Wheeler, Executive Director for Restoration Ministries, at a Shared Hope International (SHI) event in San Antonio, Texas, in 2011. I happened to meet Candace over pastries one morning. This gave me a chance to learn more about her ministry, including her work with juveniles in detention centers and psychiatric hospitals.
SHI launched their first annual state report cards that week and brought together many advocates and service providers to discuss topics related to child sex trafficking within the U.S.
SEE RELATED: Child Sex Trafficking: Vote for Courtney's House to win $50K award!
As a survivor of child sex trafficking, I was both honored and overwhelmed by the experience and hope to meet with Candace in Washington, DC to join her in outreach with juveniles in detention centers and psychiatric hospitals.
I sat down with Candance to learn more about Restoration Ministries:
What is your organization's mission statement?
Restoration Ministries seeks to bring healing to men, women, and children who have been caught in the trap of sex trafficking and lead them into the freedom of Jesus Christ.
SEE RELATED: Interview with Carissa Phelps; Author & CEO of Runaway Girl, FPC
What inspired the creation of your anti-human trafficking organization (or the anti-human trafficking program within your organization)?
I encountered several divine outpourings from the Holy Spirit telling me to start a ministry to sex trafficking survivors. He usually spoke in reference to the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15.
How has your faith has played a role in the success of your organization?
We are a Christ-centered organization not faith-based. The Lord is our leader and guide and therefore we stay on our knees to hear His voice.
Who are your board members and/or co-founders?
Board members: Jim Alexander, LCSW, Chair; Mitch Wheeler, Larry Drake, and Candace Wheeler, Executive Dir. Candace is the founder.
Are your efforts geared towards advocacy, prevention, education, awareness, victim services, legislation, etc.? Please describe. We are excited to learn more about you!
We are geared towards intervention and healing. We are one of the few organizations that can give a clinical diagnosis and write a clinical treatment plan. We do some prevention work with high-risk girls placed at the youth detention center and psychiatric hospital. We just launched our Ambassadors of Restoration Program (ARP) to educate the community on the issue of domestic minor sex trafficking.
Where are your headquarters based, and where are your efforts based?
Washington, DC, DC Metro Area, including southern Maryland and N. VA.
Please share any recent awards, accomplishments, or experiences associated with your organization.
In 2008, the Department of Youth Rehabilitative Services (youth detention center) gave us an award for outstanding programs and services to detained youth.
Please share any upcoming events or honors.
We will be honoring Rachel Lloyd for her pioneering work in this field at our 10th Anniversary Celebration on Sep 26th.
What has been the greatest achievement or most meaningful recognition or experience for your organization?
Being a part of the girls lives. It is an honor to be invited in and help them grow.
Where do you hope to see your organization in the future?
Being financially stable, a recognized leader in the community, offering real help and hope to the survivors.
What do you want the public to know about human trafficking, or specifically about your anti-human trafficking organization/program?
We want the public to be in reality of what sex trafficking looks like in DC and not shun away from it because it doesn't follow the format of what Hollywood usually portrays in their films. If the community is going to offer real help then people need to be consistent and be there for the long haul. The main reason many of the girls are in this predicament is because no one has been there for them.
There is no lasting or permanent healing without Christ.
How can the public help you with your plight?
Financial giving, mostly monthly gifts are needed for sustainability, joining or creating an ARP small group to understand the issue more clearly.
How can people reach you or your organization for questions or more information?
Thanks for sharing with us, Candace!

Why is Wale mad at the Washington Post?
By Chris Richards
No surprise that Wale's new mixtape "More About Nothing" is full of clever couplets and punchy punchlines. But here at Click Track, a rhyme from a song called "The Soup" jumped out at us: "I am not no homophobe/ good thing I don't read the Post."
Nevermind that the song's refrain is actually "No soup for you!" Is Wale suggesting that the Washington Post called him a homophobe? And if so, when? Was it in this feature story about his greater impact on Washington's rap community? Or in this review of his debut album? Or maybe in this list of the best albums of 2009?
Wale must have been confused about this DCist piece by Sommer Mathis republished on the Post's All Opinions Are Local blog after Wale canceled (and later rescheduled) an appearance at a local concert event celebrating Washington's LGBT community. Click Track also reported the same story. When we asked Wale's label to put us in touch with the rapper for a comment back in May, they declined.

Texas BBQ Mop Sauce 101
September 25, 2013
When it comes to traditional tomato based BBQ sauce in Texas, most purists will take a pass. That's not to say, however, that the meat coming off those Texan pits isn't getting a little extra love via a wet baste. In fact, as VIP blogger Craig "Meathead" Goldwyn of AmazingRibs.com explains, you are likely to find a pepper, beer and cumin based Texas mopping sauce being used in many of the Lone Star State's best barbecue joints.
Texas barbecue ranges from ribs to goat to sausage, but beef brisket is king. A dark clod of beef breast, brisket, when it is cooked, is usually sliced about 1/4″ thick across the grain, and served on brown butcher paper or in a white bread sandwich. Old timey Texans take their brisket nekked. They don't cotton to sloppy, sticky, ketchup-based sauces like they make up north in Kansas City. That's because cattle don't need sweetened ketchup any more than they need wolves.
Some pit stops have relented to public demand and now serve sauces. Some serve gloppy red sauces, but the best serve a thin brown sauce, almost a gravy that works both as a mop during the cook, and as a simple finishing sauce.
These mop-sauces feature local flavors: Chili powder, ancho powder, hot sauce, cumin, beer, onion, beef drippings, and maybe even coffee grounds. Thin as it is, it adds a richness and depth to the meat because it doesn't just sit on the surface, it penetrates. The cooks make up a batch and use it on everything: Brisket, beef ribs, pork ribs, pulled pork, sausage (a.k.a. hot links), mutton, goat, and even chicken. They are used as mops during the cook because in Texas commercial pits often cook the meat 2-3′ directly above coals. They can run hot, and they are opened often to add and remove meat. So a mop splashed on the meat during cooking replenishes moisture and cools the meat.
But if you are cooking at home you are better served by keeping the lid closed, keeping the temp and humidity constant in your cooker, and skipping the mop. Still, many folks like a sauce, especially if the meat is dry, and that can happen with brisket. So here's a very tasty formula inspired by the sauce at legendary Cooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que in Llano, TX. They have a dozen pits to cook in, and one pit that is a holding pit. It has hunks of each of their meats and a big bucket of sauce. Customers come up and point at the meat they want and if they want sauce, the meat is dunked in the bucket, flavoring both. Trimmings and leftovers are also tossed in the bucket. So if you go to Cooper's, and if you want sauce, don't tell the pitmaster you'll use the bottled sauce on the picnic tables inside. Tell him to dip it.
Yield. About 5 cups. Click here to calculate how much you need and for tips on saucing strategies.
Preparation time. 30 minutes
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 tablespoon of butter *
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup Lone Star beer (or any other lager). Drink any that is left over.
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons steak sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Hot sauce to taste (start with 2 teaspoons of Tabasco sauce for mild heat)
2 cups beef, veal, or chicken stock
Note about the oil. Butter or margarine work fine, but to make it authentic, use rendered beef fat from the fatback of a brisket or use bacon fat.
Do this
1) Mix the paprika, black pepper, chili powder, and cumin in a small bowl.
2) In a one quart saucepan, melt the butter or bacon fat and gently cook the onion over medium heat until translucent.
3) Add the garlic, bell pepper, and the spice mix you made in step (1). Stir, and cook for two minutes to extract the flavors.
4) Add the stock and the rest of the ingredients. Stir until well blended. Simmer on medium for 15 minutes. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for a month or so.

Spoilers ahead!
"Divergent," which opens today, has been hailed as either the next "Hunger Games" or as a massive "Hunger Games" ripoff. It is both, but where it leaves its source material ("Harry Potter" included) is in the religious proselytizing throughout. Teenagers are born again in all YA fiction, in a sense. But in the Divergent books it is a specifically Christian moral imposition and major reason the series fails. Keep reading »

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Freida!
Facts about Freida
- Breed: Scottish Fold
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Medium
Freida's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Freida is a very easygoing, affectionate, gentle kitty. As a small kitten she was abandoned in a park, but has survived and blossomed into a great cat. Email email@example.com to learn more about Freida.
Other Pets at Discarded Miracles
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Freida, a Los Alamitos Scottish Fold cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Scottish Fold for sale in Los Alamitos, or seeking a Scottish Fold cat from a breeder in Los Alamitos.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Los Alamitos already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Los Alamitos breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Scottish Fold breeders who help with Scottish Fold rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Los Alamitos paves the way for another one to be saved.

I have a handwritten note in my garden records that says Organic Round Up alternative--20% vinegar.
Although I don't recall the origin of this recipe, I do remember going to every Agway and store around me looking for 20% vinegar without success. A few questions:
Follow-Up Postings:
Dian, 20% vinegar, if you could find it, is quite caustic and there is some danger to the applicator involved. As far as I know, boiling vinegar does not increase the acidity - at least the ph doesn't change when using it in pressure canned recipes and canning where acidity can be paramount :) If you use regular 5% vinegar as a weed spray it will kill minor weeds, especially if sprayed on a sunny afternoon (as opposed to a shady morning or evening). It will quickly kill top growth, and may not have a lasting effect on tap rooted weeds like dandelions. Unlike Roundup, it doesn't have a systemic action, meaning it is not taken down into the roots to kill at that level. |

Reviewed Made-Over Deep Dish Brownies
Jul 22, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"Awesome! I cut out the extra 1/4 cup of white sugar and stuck to 3/4 cup of light brown sugar (enabling me to cut out an extra 23 calories) and these brownies turned out absolutely delicious! I highly recommend these. My husband didn't even know that these were healthier!""
Favorited Turkey Bolognese
Reviewed Smoked Salmon, Arugula and Goat Cheese Tart
Oct 8, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"Delicious! I absolutely loved this recipe. I recommend using a deep-dish tart pan. You won't risk losing any of the egg mixture if you decide to use a bit more of the leek/arugula mixture, goat cheese and smoked salmon. I ended up drizzling mine with a little Balsamic Vinegar right before serving which gave the tart a really nice tanginess. """

"Amazing! I've made this recipe several times now for a variety of people and every time I receive loads of compliments. A must try! I can't tolerate garlic, so I leave it out and honestly it doesn't feel like anything is missing. """

The character voices in this one, while not as ridiculous as Part 3, are quite the pair: a wholesome, perky woman with an overly stereotyped Irishman keep giving me visions of a wayward Florence Henderson blowing the Blarney Stone on a sex rampage (perhaps after her fling with the clown jewels).
The bad Irish accent comes off sounding drunker than I think he intends, not that anyone's going for dialectic accuracy here. Combine that with the meager cover art and this is actually one of my least favorite of the porno 8-tracks series. But it still provides some good moments:
"Ah Daisy, I'm in love with you…"
"Aw crap, you're just in love with my ass."
"What the hell is the difference between you and your ass anyway!"
"I think your multiplication tables are as screwed up as your fingers are!"

More cyclists means more ticketing, increased enforcement
Editor's note: This is the third in a series of reports about biking and bike safety in Denver and beyond.
There are a lot more cyclists on the road in Denver -- and apparently a lot more police officers looking to give them tickets. As the interest in biking grows with residents and city officials alike, this is one of the growing pains.
As we noted in an earlier post, ridership has increased dramatically, and the city has helped push that trend froward by greatly expanding its spending on bike infrastructure.
One problem cyclists have encountered is a rapid increase in bike thefts. And another problem -- at least from the vantage point of some cyclists -- is a rapid increase in ticketing and enforcement.
Based on stats provided by the Denver Police Department, it's clear that more cyclists are getting citations -- which cover a wide range of violations, from breaking traffic laws to lacking proper reflectors.
In 2002, there were a total of 138 citation violations involving cyclists. Last year, that total was 1,114, which is more than eight times as many eight years prior. The first big jump appears to have been in 2008, when the number went to 478, followed by 656 citations in 2009 and 1,165 in 2010.
In 2012, from January through June 18, 275 citations have already been given out -- more than the annual totals for all years prior to 2006.
For some cycling advocates, this isn't actually bad news.
"Enforcement is being stepped up and rightly so," says Piep van Heuven, executive director of BikeDenver. "Police enforcement is very effective in reminding people on bikes that they have to obey traffic laws."
Emily Snyder, a senior city planner with Denver's Department of Public Works who oversees bicycle and pedestrian matters, says that when the city adds more bike facilities -- like new lanes or sharrows (which mark shared roads) -- cyclists generally tend to use those roads more. But the growth in the bike network should in theory also help cut down on some citations, by giving cyclists a clear and safe place to ride legally.

Another quick start for Florida Gulf Coast had Eagles fans briefly dreaming about a miraculous run to the Elite Eight, but No. 3 Florida quickly responded to put an end to those dreams.
FGCU jumped out to a 15-4 run and the general feeling among viewers was "here we go again" with this ultimate Cinderella team, but the Gators composed themselves, made a run of their own and then leaned on their championship caliber defence to keep the Eagles at arm's length the rest of the way.
Florida Gulf Coast was by no means dominated in this game and their entertaining run to the Sweet Sixteen will go down as one of the most memorable underdog stories in tournament history, but as mentioned in the preview, they hadn't faced a defence as good as Florida's yet. Considering that the Eagles averaged 79.5 points on 50 per cent shooting in their first two games and scored 15 points in the first six minutes of tonight's game, I think the Gators will be pleased with holding FGCU to just 50 points on 45 per cent shooting.
Next up for Billy Donovan's team, who advance to their third straight Elite Eight, is a South Regional Final against an even more high powered offence in No. 4 Michigan.
As for Florida Gulf Coast, considering that they've appeared in back-to-back Atlantic Sun Conference championship games and have made a trip to the Sweet Sixteen in just their second year of full post-season eligibility, you get the feeling that the Eagles might become a tournament regular for the foreseeable future. In any event, the program should be commended for what they've been able to achieve in a short period of time and the 2012-13 team especially should be lauded for the entertaining style of play they brought to this year's tourney.

Can I get anything published?
We don't restrict the type of work that Autharium publishes to specific genres but we do set some basic provisions that need to be adhered to. Your work needs to be your own, of creative merit, be well formatted and of a quality that you would buy yourself if you weren't the author. Books published by Autharium are curated and those which are created purely as a marketing vehicle for services, websites or contain affiliate marketing links cannot be published through Autharium. For more information see What we Publish or our terms and conditions for more details on exactly what will and will not be published.
We only publish quality original eBooks where you, as the Author, Publisher or Agent own the copyright and hold the digital rights.
We will work with you to ensure that your eBook meets our minimum standards. This includes, but is not limited to:
Cover image - professional and relevant. Includes Author name and title. Editing - we will review, edit and suggest changes to text and story flow.
How much does it cost to be published?
Nothing, zilch, nada. Autharium is the first direct ebook publishing eco-system created by creatives for creatives so there are no up front costs to use the site or be published whilst in beta. As an author you can upload your work, preview how it will look when published, release it for feedback from fellow book lovers or go straight to publishing. As long as your book is within the publishing guidelines, your book will be published and distributed for Free - no subscription charges, nothing up front and no other mysterious hidden charges. The net royalties that are collected from your book sales, through our retail partner sites and direct, are then split 85% in your favour and Autharium keeps the other 15%.
It really is that straight forward, as you can see from fellow authors on the testimonial page.
How do I market my ebook?
Autharium is feature rich with tools to help you with your book marketing. These include social sharing tools, promotional pricing tools, free previews - through the online ereader, free profile pages - so you don't need to pay for a standalone website, the list goes on. There are also additional resources and guides that can be found throughout Autharium. To get started with your ebook marketing plan here are our top 10 eBook marketing tips.
How do I build my publishing Dream Team?
Autharium is full of talented creative people, some of these will help you with your book in the spirit of community and shared common goals and others are publishing professionals who can help you with your book for an agreed fee or share of book sales. Whether you need a line, copy or structural editor, help from a proof-reader, a killer cover design or marketing and PR support you can find them here.
How do you decide what price to sell my book at?
You decide what price your book is, although we will advise on the best price for your book based on the market. You can set the list price (i.e. the price the book should be listed at) and you can also set a sale price if you want to run a price promotion on your book. You can even choose to give away your book for free. You can control these prices through the Publishing options tab for your book.
So do you lose rights posting a novel for review on Autharium?
Of course not. If fact when you post your writing on Autharium you can also use this as proof of effective copyright. More information can also be found here within the Publishing Terms and Conditions.
What formats can I upload to Autharium?
We can accept the following: Microsoft Word doc, docx, html, ePub, rtf, lit, mobi, PDF, text and TCR.
We recommend using a .doc file which can be created using Microsoft Word, OpenOffice or similar. If you want a good free .doc Word Processing application go here – OpenOffice.
However, if you are not comfortable using a Word Processor then our in-page eBook editor is pretty cool.
What does Autharium do with my book once I upload it?
First of all your book is stored in a secure place. You can read and edit the book once it is uploaded using our in page editor. You can release your book to the Autharium community for preview if you want some feedback before we publish it. The community can add comments to your book by highlighting the specific text or areas of the book. You can then review these comments.
Once you are happy that your book is ready to be published you can submit it for publishing. At this point Autharium will check your book using our team of editorial staff. If we are happy with the book we will confirm the publication and distribute the book around the world retailers and libraries.
Please be aware that Autharium does not publish every book that is submitted. Each book is subject to review prior to completing the publishing process. We will always tell you why a book cannot be published and may suggest changes that would make the book acceptable.
Can I upload Public Domain books that I have formatted differently or tweaked?
No, we only accept original works from the original Author or Publisher.
How does the conversion process work?
The Autharium conversion process takes an original file format such as Word or PDF and converts it on publication to all the major eBook formats. This conversion platform has been developed by Autharium specifically for eBooks.
Can you put me in touch with a cover designer, illustrator, editor, proofreader or translator?
You can post a request message on your profile and members of the Autharium community will get in contact.
Can I offer my services as a cover designer, proofreader, translator, illustrator or other?
Yes you can, advertise your services on your profile page. However, accounts that spam other community members will have their accounts deleted.
How much will I receive for a book sale?
You will receive 85% of the net revenue from a book, i.e. 85% of the money we receive from the retailer after taxes and transaction charges have been accounted for. The amount taken by the retailer tends to vary from around 30% of the cover price to up to 50%. If however, your book is sold from the Autharium site, no retailer charges are applied, meaning your 85% is a portion of a higher amount!
For example, a book sold in the UK on the Apple iBook store for £5.99 will incur 20% VAT (UK sales tax) leaving £4.99; of this Apple takes a further 30%, leaving £3.49 of which the author then receives 85% or £2.97.
Autharium will do the following with your eBook once published:
1. Send through promotional material and samples to all the major retailers and distributors.
2. Create a British Library CIP record for your eBook.
3. Create a full Nielsen record for your eBook.
4. Distribute to over 13,000 libraries worldwide.
5. Provide all the tools necessary to promote your books on social networks.
6. Provide a profile page for every book you create.
Which retailers will sell my eBook?
We will distribute your eBook globally to a growing list of retailers that include, but are not limited to:
Amazon Apple iBookstore Barnes and Noble (UK & US) Blackwells Books-A-Million The Book Depository Booksetc Books On Board Bookshout! Booktopia Bookworld Buecher.de Google Books Google Play Independent Booksellers Infibeam Intersoft Kalahari Kobo Papataka Pickabook Rakuten Waterstones WHSmith
Ultimately, as with any book and publisher, the ultimate decision to sell it sits with the retailer.
How about ISBN's?
Every eBook we publish is assigned an ISBN for each format, in-line with the International ISBN guidelines. There is no charge for these Autharium covers the cost as the publisher.
When will I receive the money generated from my book sales?
Monthly – depending on the timing of the sales. Revenue from different partners within the network comes through at different rates. We aim to send you your money 30 days post sale. We do this to allow for refunds and order cancellations.

Why Am I Retaining Water?
Have you ever stepped onto the scale and seen it go up a few pounds after following your diet perfectly the day before and even exercising. At this point youre probably shaking your head in disbelief or screaming at the scale calling it a liar. What you are actually experiencing is water retention. Water retention is a natural part of your bodily functions. As a matter of fact you can have nothing to eat or drink except for water for an entire month, and there are still going to be days where your weight is going to be up a pound or two just from water retention. However, there are instances where health conditions are also causing water retention. A few of the most common ones are hypothyroidism, food sensitivity, Cushings syndrome, blood sugar imbalance, and essential fatty acid deficiency. Lets take a more in-depth look at these conditions.
Hypothyroidism causes your metabolism to slow down causing weight gain. The weight gain is from fat accumulation and fluid retention as a result of protein deposits in the body. Symptoms of hypothyroidism are fatigue, lethargy, swelling of the face or around the eyes, dry, coarse skin, decreased sweating, poor memory, slow speech and hoarse voice, weakness, intolerance to cold and headache.
Food Sensitivity
The symptoms of food sensitivity are not always instantaneous. It can be hours before you start to notice swelling of your extremities, face, chin, abdomen, and bloating. This type of allergic reaction is caused by inflammation and hormones being released. Food sensitivity can also cause carbohydrates in your system to ferment causing gas and a swollen belly.
Cushing Syndrome
Cushings Syndrome is a disorder caused by an excess of the hormone cortisol. Fat accumulates in the face, abdomen and upper back, often producing a characteristic rounded moon face and buffalo hump. The arms and legs usually remain slender.
Blood Sugar Imbalance
Eating simple, refined carbohydrates can cause rapid fluctuations in blood sugar levels. For example, eating chocolate increases the amount of sugar in the blood. The hormone insulin is released which causes sugar to be stored away and blood sugar levels to be lowered, which trigger cravings for more sweets in order to stabilize blood sugar can balance.
Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency
Essential fatty acids, such as in flaxseed oil, are good fats that are needed by the body to make hormones and maintain the bodys metabolic rate. A deficiency may cause cravings, particularly for fatty foods.
The conditions discussed above have to be diagnosed and treated by a physician. If you are diagnosed with them continue to be faithful to you diet and be patient. With a consistent healthy diet and proper treatment your weight will be continue to drop.

Archive for the 'normal maps' tag
Normal Maps: WIP
For the record, the below image is not yet correct, but here's a first-pass at normal mapping in LxEngine:
The tangent vectors are calculated by GLGeom. The algorithm I'm using is somewhat…custom. I haven't seen an implementation similar to how I'm attempting it – and thus suspect that I've missed a key point or two. That's okay, however – this is for fun and to learn something.
The basic approach is to define a function F(p,v) = dUV, a function that takes a point on the surface of the mesh and a direction vector and returns the change in UV at that point in that direction. If we constraint this function to only be valid at vertices of the mesh (which is fine, since we're only going to use this function at vertex points), then we can define F(p,v) as the weighted average of all the edges adjacent to the vertex at p – with the weights corresponding to the dot product between v and the direction of that edge. So if we have F(p,v) defined, that we can find tangent and bitangent by finding directions v where F is at a local maximum. This can be done by simple calculus: where the derivative of a function is 0, it is at a local maximum or minimum. Given that F(p,v) is a fairly simple weighted average, the derivative is not complex and solving for where it is 0 is not complex. Thus we end up with the directions in which U increases most and V increase most…which, until I locate the flaw in my understanding of the problem, are theoretically the tangent and bitangent directions.
We'll see. For now, I have compiling code and a screenshot. That's enough for today. Testing and debugging will follow

Shoprite Results
February 20, 2013 in Financial News, JSE
Shoprite produced first half results yesterday which were better than the headline growth suggested. Shoprite is our favourite South African retailer on a long term view. It has the right model and formula to produce meaningful earnings growth provided that its South African engine keeps running and growth in African remains successful. The company is, however, trading at a demanding forward 23x multiple and with the current market volatility around retailers the short term for the share is uncertain.

text: What you see is what you get when it comes to Li Wei's gravity defying photography. Although it would be much easier to photoshop people into a stock image to achieve a similar effect, all of Li Wei's shots are taken on location, relying solely on wire harnesses to suspend his subjects in mid-air; thus making them all the more incredible. According to the Beijing-based artist, "There's a visceral feeling of shooting on location that can't be duplicated on a computer," although he does use photoshop to remove the visible wires from his images.

We are remodeling a house with concrete ceilings and floors. The walls are steel beams. So, it is impossible to add another place to hang a chandelier. The dining room is 20 x 20 and will need a large table. If I do a rectangle I would like to have two chandeliers. Someone suggested to me that I could swag them from the center of the room where the main lighting source is. Has anyone ever seen this? I can't imaging how it would look. Thanks for your help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
"So, it is impossible to add another place to hang a chandelier." It is called surface mount raceway. Wire-mold is a common brand. |
Yes, there is no way to add another place for another chandelier. I will check out the surface mount raceway. Thanks. |

Stealing Is Less Bad If You Do It For Love, Judge Says
• A New York judge gave Ponzi schemer to the stars Kenneth Starr a surprisingly light sentence of seven and a half years in prison, arguing that his crimes were somehow mitigated by the fact that he committed them in order to impress his ex-stripper fourth wife. Presumably the judge also has a soft spot for John Hinckley. [NY Post]
• Despite pleas for help from anti-Qaddafi rebels, the Obama administration is reluctant to impose no-fly zone in Libya without United Nations authorization, which is not likely to be forthcoming. [NY Times]
• Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark director Julie Taymor sounded positively Sheen-esque when addressing the musical's troubles at the TED conference yesterday, saying she is "in the crucible and the fire of transformation" and that she's walking "the fine line at the edge of the crater, as I have done my whole life." [NY Times ArtsBeat blog]
• WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning could face the death penalty: the army has filed 22 new charges against him, including the capital offense of "aiding the enemy." [NBC News]

Getty Communications thinks content is the sparkling diamond of the Internet -- visual content to be exact. On Sept. 16, London-based Getty announced that it will merge with PhotoDisc, a Seattle company making strong inroads with stock digital photography.
The two companies will form Getty Images, a publicly traded venture based in the U.S. In total, Getty has a library of 25 million photos and close to 10,000 hours of film. Also thrown into the deal: Hulton Getty, an archive of fine art photography, the Gamma Liaison Network photojournalism agency, and Energy Film Library, a stock film library. The deal could be worth $160 million, analysts estimate. "With Getty, we have access to wonderful content," says PhotoDisc CEO Mark Torrance, who now becomes co-chairman of Getty Images.
PhotoDisc's library of images amounts to a mere 50,000 images -- but all those images are online. Now, PhotoDisc intends to offer Getty's extensive visual libraries online as well. "What PhotoDisc has is fantastic expertise on the Web," says Mark H. Getty, co-founder of Getty Communications and a member of the Getty family that made its fortune in oil. Anyone who wants an illustration can go to the PhotoDisc site, find the appropriate photo with the help of a search engine, and download the image for $19 to $180. The entire transaction takes just minutes.
Co-Chairman Getty says he talked to a number of companies before settling on PhotoDisc. Getty and partner Jonathan Klein founded Getty Communications in 1994 with the strategy of first building up content libraries and then transforming the images to digital format.
PhotoDisc's digital business has been exploding lately. In the first six months of the year, PhotoDisc reported sales of $20 million, compared with total 1996 revenues of $28 million. Most sales came from images on CD-ROMs averaging $225. But PhotoDisc's fastest-growing segment was the online business, where the company brought in $2.4 million in the first half of 1997. PhotoDisc's Web business is now averaging $500,000 in sales a month. Before opting to merge with Getty, the company was considering an IPO. Howver, "it would have taken us four to five years to reach this level if we went the IPO route," Torrance says.
With the combined companies, Getty Images will employ close to 1,000 people around the world. PhotoDisc will retain its brand name and presence in Seattle. And its employees and investors have something to smile about with this deal. PhotoDisc stockholders will receive 9.6 million shares, or 31%, of the new company plus approximately $30 million in cash when the deal closes sometime around the end of the year. The stock rose almost 2 points, to $16, on the news. And with the combination of its visual library and PhotoDisc's digital capabilities, Getty Images could challenge Corbis, the digital art company owned by Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

An inline link is a hyperlink to another page that is placed in a line of text. Inline links can be inserted directly into the content editor of CMS pages, blocks, and banners.
Inline links that are generated by the Frontend App tool are represented in the content editor by a page link token. Because the link is simply marked-up text, it can be copied and pasted into any other place that accepts HTML code.
"Click here to go there" is a common example of an inline link, where the word "here" contains the link to another page. A more intuitive and seamless approach is to place the link on a word that occurs naturally in a sentence. In this case, the style applied to the link lets the reader know that it can be clicked. Another way inline links can be used is to let the reader know that the article continues on another page. The inline link can be placed on the word "More" or "Continued," followed by an ellipsis "…" character, with a link to a the full article.
In this example, you will learn how to generate an inline link directly from content editor of a CMS page, following these steps:
Step 2: Select the Link Format and Location
Step 3: Insert the Link into the Text
Step 4: Additional Formatting Options

- 18.5% of newly registered accounts have become inactive in a period of 3 months. These can be both deleted accounts and suspended accounts.
- 20.2% of the registered accounts are not following anyone and have not sent a single tweet, which makes it hard to imagine that these accounts are in any way active users of Twitter.
- 2.3% of the last 100 million accounts are protected.
- Use of standard "egg" as profile image: 48.9% of registered accounts.
- Use of location field: 14.8% of registered accounts
- Use of account description field: 16.9% of registered accounts.
- Use of both location and description: 10.2% of registered accounts.
According to our definitions, an active Twitter user sends a tweet on average at least once per week, and has sent at least 1 tweet in the last 30 days. 15.1% of registered accounts meet this definition. In other words, we believe that for every 100 million new registered users there are 15 million new active accounts. When we apply a wider definition, including all accounts that send a tweet at least twice per month, and have sent a tweet in the last 60 days, the percentage of active new accounts increases to 21.3%. On a daily basis this means that Twitter is growing with about 150-200 thousand active users every day.
