Case Overview
The palila -- a bird endemic to Hawai'i -- depends on the native Hawaiian dry land forest, particularly mamane trees, for food, shelter, and breeding, and the destruction of mamane forests by sheep and goats and other browsing animals in the early twentieth century prompted a sharp decline in palila numbers and habitat. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reacted by recognizing palila as endangered in 1967 and designating Palila critical habitat on the upper slopes of Mauna Kea.
Despite the known harm to native forests from browsing by sheep and goats, the State of Hawai`i continued to maintain feral goats and sheep for sport hunting within palila's critical habitat and even stocked the forests with mouflon sheep, another destructive browser. In an historic opinion issued in 1979 and a second in 1987, the District Court for the District of Hawai`i held, in decisions upheld by the Ninth Circuit, that degradation of palila habitat constitutes unlawful harm to palila in violation of the Endangered Species Act. The court found the state was in violation of the ESA because the state maintained the destructive animals in the federally listed bird's last-remaining habitat, on which the palila depends for breeding, feeding, and sheltering, and ordered it to remove all sheep and goats completely and permanently. A third court order in 1998 affirmed the 1979 and 1987 orders and required the state to continue removing goats and sheep and to minimize the animals' migration into the critical habitat, such as by constructing and maintaining a perimeter fence.
Despite the three court orders, the state has failed to remove sheep and goats completely and permanently from the critical habitat and has yet to start construction on an adequate perimeter fence. Earthjustice returned to court in 2009 seeking the state's compliance with the court's prior orders in order to protect this bird before it slides into extinction. The court emphasized that the state's obligations to remove ungulates and prevent them from returning to the critical habitat area are continuing, and the court exercised additional oversight over the state's efforts, including requiring biannual reports of its fence construction efforts. Earthjustice continues to monitor the situation.

Repair Request "Run-Around"
Posted by
PENNSYLVANIA -- Purchased pre-owned unit rated E+ from reputable Adorama Camera Co. Have had excellent dealings over many years. Received flash in original carton with all standard accessories. Everything appeared as though new, Unit fails to switch into TTL mode. Took my compatible camera, PanaSonic Lumix DMC-50FZ to large St. Louis-based camera store which had a new Olympus FL-50R...
This unit was attached to my camera and DID GO INTO TTL MODE ...OBVIOUSLY there is an internal electronics fault within my flash ....Contacted very helpful Customer Service lady at Olympus who advised me that my unit was under warranty if not over 90 days since purchase. She also informed me as to what must be included/shipped in addition to the basic flash unit.
And she e-mailed appropriate forms, etc...SO FAR SO GOOD...Am putting "things together."...BANG !!!..Comes an e-mail from "email@example.com (and WHO is this ????) advising me: "Be sure flash is all the way forward in the hot shoe of the camera. When the flash is off the camera is TTL AUTO an available option ? IF THE FLASH IS FAULTY YOU WILL HAVE TO CONTACT THE SELLER FORA REPLACEMENT OR A REFUND (Emphasis mine)....What crap !!!...This person did not even offer option of shipping unit in for evaluation/diagnosis and possible repair !!!...Am retired senior citizen on fixed income and do not purchase items (especially high-priced ones) without significant research...Selected this model based on comparison/reviews online and looking at other high-end equivalent units...Some decades past I had experience using several brands of microscopes. Olympus "scopes" were outstanding. That influenced my impression of Olympus in general...Boy what a letdown !!!...(This is not the first instance where a manufacturer "Stood behind his product....SO FAR BEHIND YOU COULDN'T SEE HIM !!!")...I shall reply to My3cents within a reasonable time as to what Olympus will do, if anything...

Design flaw
Posted by
cool rob
I had been planning my honeymoon in Mexico. I wanted a durable camera that I could used to take pictures while snorkeling. The 6020 seemed to fit the bill. While snorkeling the camera quit working. A small grain of sand had been stuck in the corner of the watertight seal and let seawater into the housing. Granted, ultimately it is my fault. Yet, upon inspection, the seal is only. 02-.03 inches wide and there is only one seal. I have been a machinist and mold maker for 16+ years. In my professional opinion, there is enough room for multiple seals. Therefor, I would consider this a design flaw. I don't know their research and development processes but I would think that they could have tested for this situation and redesigned the product. I don't expect a free camera or anything like that. I will say that with their current design I would never recommend this camera. I hope this will help someone avoid the 300 dollar mistake I made.

$500 and No Picture Card
Posted by
SOUTH CAROLINA -- I just spent almost $500 on a new Olympus SP-550UZ camera (does not include accessories). When I got home and opened it, I discovered it comes WITHOUT a picture card! Fortunately I had a spare. For that kind of money, I don't think it is unreasonable to include it with the camera!

Digital Camera
Posted on
DETROIT, MICHIGAN -- I purchased a digital camera from Olympus this year. I
ve been impressed with both the quality of the pictures, how easy it is to use, and how reliable it has been. I
ve beat up on it pretty good with all the traveling I do, and it still works like a charm. Also, just recently I invested in a photo-printer. The printed version of my pics also come out very good. I just bought another one for my sister for the holidays!

Sivir needs a complete rework really, i didn't think it was possible but worse now after that little rework riot did on her. She's a pointless AD slot there is no reason to pick her over anyone else... Her Q a weak minion sweeper Her W completely useless, does no damage I just completely ignore it until i'm forced to level it up Her E is ok though the 75 mana to get 75 mana needs to be reworked or the description needs to be changed Her R another pointless skill, really, good for tower pushing and that's it
MC Malzahar
Wait, rework Sivir? Like, the third time?
Junior Member
Last week I saw Sivir get picked at least 3 times by pro gamers because her spellsteal counter a lot of Graves/Urgot damage not to mantion a lot of the damage the enemy AP dash . Also her Q deals lots of damage if it hit only one target. Taric Stun + her Q gives huge amount of damage and he W reset auto attack timer afaik for even more burst, not to mantion that she is close to impossible to run after because of her passive and ultimate.
I only agree about her W. The rest is perfect for me.
sivir is great against draven ive heard.
i would rather have her model reworked. Imo she is the one who needs it the most
Asatie Link
Sivir is awesome. yay free mana OP boomerang. > Caitlyn >Taric's stun >Sorakas Silence >Blitzcranks Pull You just need REACTIONS scrub

All snow sports come with some level of risk so it's important you keep safety in mind when heading off on your next ski adventure! With changing weather conditions, snow-covered landscapes and differing levels of skiing and snowboarding ability sharing the slopes, accidents can happen.
What you need to know to stay safe in the snow:
• Dress appropriately
Layered clothing is the best way to keep warm in cold weather. Remember that most of your body heat leaves through your head, so always wear a hat or beanie. Wear mittens – mittens are better than gloves at keeping hands warm since the fingers are together in one 'pocket'.
• Protect your skin and eyes
Always wear sunscreen when you're in the snow. The snow reflects the sun in the same way water does so a whole day with your nose out can be devastating for the skin. The same reason goes for protecting your eyes – even if it does not feel like you are being blinded, the sun rays reflecting off the glittery snow may also burn your cornea.
• Wear a helmet
When you are falling, you are unlikely to be able to influence how you will fall or where you will land - so it is recommended that the less experienced skier wear a helmet while skiing. Wearing a helmet is especially essential for children.
Always carry something to drink and snack on when you are out for a day's adventure. Dehydration and blood sugar deficiency come quickly and are not always easy to recognise when you are exercising in nature. Regular nibbling and sipping is recommended.

Right before PMA, Nikon announced two new additions to their "P", or Performance, line. The Nikon Coolpix P3 and Coolpix P4 are the most fully-featured Point and Shoot cameras from Nikon. They have a distinctive rounded-corner shape that kind of reminds me of a bar of soap. Nikon manages to fit a lot of features into these compact cameras, including Vibration Reduction and WiFi capability.
Both the Coolpix P3 and Coolpix P4 take pictures at a resolution of 8.1 megapixels, have a 3.5x optical zoom lens and a 2.5 inch LCD for framing and reviewing images. There is no optical viewfinder for LCD backup.
Nikon has included their image staibilization technology (that they call Vibration Reduction) in both of these cameras. Two modes of Vibration Reduction, Passive and Active, provide varying degrees of image stabilization.
The Coolpix P3 includes WiFi capability that we were first saw in Nikon cameras in the Coolpix P1 and Coolpix P2 cameras last year. In fact, it looks like the WiFi is the only difference between the P3 and P4 (P3 has it, P4 doesn't).
This round of new cameras from Nikon also includes the "Exclusve Feature System", which includes:
Being part of the Performance line, you have a little more control over your shots when compared to the Life and Style lines. The Coolpix P3 and Coolpix P4 can shoot in Auto, Programmable Auto (P on the dial), Aperture Priority (A on the dial), nine "advanced" scene modes, seven other scene modes, Best Shot Selector, Date imprint, and Self Timer.
For "drive" modes, you can shoot a Single frame, Continuous H (approx. 1.8 fps), Multi-shot 16 (approx 1.7 fps), Ultra HS (100 frames at up to 30 fps) and 5 shot buffer (approx 1.8 fps).
Availability: Look for both cameras in March 2006. The Coolpix P3 will be priced around $449 and the Coolpix P4 will be around $399.

Antonio Banderas Gets Christmas Cards from the Presidential Secret Service [AUDIO]
Antonio Banderas called in to "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" on Friday to talk about his new movie "Haywire," what it was that he said to Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes, and getting Christmas cards for the Secret Service.
Antonio Banderas' Family Lived With Secret Service For A Week
As we prepare for a visit from Vice President Joe Biden, Antonio recalled his experience from when President Barack Obama visited his home. "The house, when the President came here was taken by the Secret Service for a week and half. We actually became very good friends with them and even for Christmas they sent postcards. It was an unbelievable experience, as you might imagine," he tells us.
Last week on the Golden Globes you may have heard Ricky Gervais crack a joke about Antonio's accent. If you missed it, check out Antonio's response above [skip to 3:18]:
"I understand that I have an accent. I learned English when I was 31-years old, that particular moment I felt that I should revindicate the Spanish language and then just recite a poem from a play that I did many years ago from Calderón de la Barca," Antonio explained. He tells us the poem actually about taking someone prisoner. So, he says it was literally directed to Ricky.
In his new movie "Haywire," Antonio plays an interesting strange villain. "It's elegant, it has a little scent of that kind of action movies that were done in the 70s. It is different than the action movies that are done today," he says of the film.
Salma Hayek Is 'Kitty Softpaws' in 'Puss In Boots'
The main difference being that the action hero is a woman, played by newcomer Gina Carano. "People are going to be just amazed at what she is capable to do. At the same time, this woman that never acted before is a good actress, and is sexy," Antonio says. "She was very confident to put herself in the hands of a very experienced, and talented man like Steven [Soderbergh]."

How To Make Cornish Pasties The Official Recipe
Yes there is an official Cornish pasty recipe and it is included here along with a US English translation. By European law this is the only pasty that can be called a Cornish Pasty and even then only if it is made in Cornwall. So, unless you happen to live in Cornwall, you will just have to call it something else. If you insist on calling it a Cornish Pastry and one day two burly tin miners with strange accents show up on your doorstep, all I can say is, "You were warned!"
My mother's pasty recipe was different so I included that as the Unofficial Cornish Pasty Appetizers. But there is so much more you can do, and I have done, with the pasty idea that I thought you might like to try some of the variations I've come up with over the years.
Vegetarian Pasty
Cheese, Mushroom and Leek
Ham, Swiss Cheese and Asparagus
Sausage Pasty
Piza Pasty
Asian Pasty
Jerk Chicken Pasty
Peach & Walnut Pasty
Bumbleberry Pasties
Banana & Chocolate Pasty
"Banana Split" Pasty
Apple and Walnut Pasty
Just to make sure my pasty recipes can be enjoyed anywhere in the world I have included a table of international measurement equivalents.
Authentic English Recipes - The Series
This series is about recipes from my childhood that I still cook today. They stand the test of time and are still as delicious today as they were when my mother and grandmother cooked them.
For most of our day to day cooking we never open a cookbook or precisely measure ingredients. We go by what feels right and the experience of cooking the same meal many times before. To create this series I had to cook everything and write the instructions down as I was doing it.
I hope you will try all the titles in the series so you can soon be cooking like a true Brit.

Sleep, Learning, and Memory. The Learning Process and Sleep Sleep, learning, and memory are complex phenomena that are not entirely understood.
However, animal and human studies suggest that the quantity and quality of sleep have a profound impact on learning and memory. Research suggests that sleep helps learning and memory in two distinct ways. First, a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention optimally and therefore cannot learn efficiently. Second, sleep itself has a role in the consolidation of memory, which is essential for learning new information. Why Art Therapy is Good for the Alzheimer's Brain. Art therapy has proven a powerful tool for treating Alzheimer's.
More than giving patients something pretty to look at it or an exercise to keep them busy, it stimulates the brain. It stirs memories and can bring language back into the life of someone who struggles to speak. "A picture is worth a thousand words," an adage demonstrated over and over through the success of art therapy on Alzheimer's patients. Patients don't necessarily re-learn lost words through this treatment, but they are exploring a new vocabulary. Studies show that art therapy gives back to Alzheimer's patients, in some part, what the disease has taken away. All machine and no ghost? The philosophy of mind is concerned with fundamental questions about consciousness - about its existence and nature.
The science of psychology is concerned with its empirical workings - how one mental thing leads to another, basically. The former is a branch of metaphysics, the latter of dynamics. The Brain Is Made of Its Own Architects. In the 1940s, the Nobel prize–winning neurobiologist Roger Sperry performed some of the most important brain surgeries in the history of science.
His patients were newts. Sperry started by gently prying out newts' eyes with a jeweler's forceps. He rotated them 180 degrees and then pressed them back into their sockets. The newts had two days to recover before Sperry started the second half of the procedure. Free Online Course Materials. How to Trick Your Brain for Happiness.
This month, we feature videos of a Greater Good presentation by Rick Hanson, the best-selling author and trailblazing psychologist.
In this excerpt from his talk, Dr. Hanson explains how we can take advantage of the brain's natural "plasticity"—it's ability to change shape over time. gobyg. Tinnitus discovery could lead to new ways to stop the ringing. Neuroscientists at the University of California, Berkeley, are offering hope to the 10 percent of the population who suffer from tinnitus – a constant, often high-pitched ringing or buzzing in the ears that can be annoying and even maddening, and has no cure. iStock photo Their new findings, published online last week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest several new approaches to treatment, including retraining the brain, and new avenues for developing drugs to suppress the ringing. "This work is the most clearheaded documentation to this point of what's actually happening in the brain's cortex in ways that account for the ongoing genesis of sound," said Michael Merzenich, professor emeritus of otolaryngology at UC San Francisco and inventor of the cochlear implant, who was not involved with the research.
Home page. New Light On Nature Of Broca's Area: Rare Procedure Documents How Human Brain Computes Language. October 16, 2009 — A study by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine reports a significant breakthrough in explaining gaps in scientists' understanding of human brain function.
The study – which provides a picture of language processing in the brain with unprecedented clarity – will be published in the October 16 issue of the journal Science. "Two central mysteries of human brain function are addressed in this study: one, the way in which higher cognitive processes such as language are implemented in the brain and, two, the nature of what is perhaps the best-known region of the cerebral cortex, called Broca's area," said first author Ned T.

Archived considerations This page summarises the considerations on choosing a model for annotations. In particular it is an archive of how the Annotating-section of the RO model wiki page was until the recommendation to go for AO was chosen. |
Annotating Research objects
Instead of designing a new model for annotating research objects and their constituent resources, we are investigating two RDF-based models, namely the Open Annotation and Collaboration (OAC) and the Annotation Ontology (AO).
Open Annotation and Collaboration (OAC)
The description below mainly focuses on OAC as this is the model we investigated first. A comparison with a similar approach using AO follows.
OAC specifies an approach for associating resources with annotations. The annotation model adopted by OAC is illustrated below. An annotation is defined as a document, identified by an URI, which describes the association created between two resources, a body and a target. The annotation body is a resource that "is somehow about" the resource designated by the annotation target.
Figure extracted from http://www.openannotation.org/spec/beta/. A1 is an annotation linking the annotation body B1 with the annotation target T1, meaning that B1 is describing T1.
The OAC specification does not put any requirements to the body, it could be any kind of resource (like a text document, video, etc) which in some way describes or talks about the target resource.
Using OAC, one can annotate the research object and its content. In particular such annotations can be used to describe the aggregated resources as well as specifying relationships between those resources.
In the beta OAC specification, the subclass oac:DataAnnotation is introduced to indicate that the annotation body is a structured data annotation meant for computer consumption. As research objects require structured annotations with relationships and use of controlled vocabularies, we utilize OAC data annotations for denoting annotation bodies containing RDF graphs.
Other "classic OAC" annotations could still be added to the research object, for instance "This PDF talks about this spreadsheet". OAC also allows the use of constrains and fragments to narrow the annotation target to a particular selection of the document. Although such annotations would be limited to "talks about" relationships compared to using rich RO vocabularies in a data annotation, they would allow clients with an understanding of only OAC to relate the two resources, in addition to providing a mechanism for relating to sub-selections of a resource. It is currently out of scope for this document to explore this aspect further. |
As an example of a data annotation, the following illustrate how the research object itself can be associated with an annotation body specifying a title. This resource also includes metadata about who created the annotation body, ie. who gave the title.
# Default graph of all annotations { :title a oac:Annotation, oac:DataAnnotation ; oac:hasTarget manifest:ro ; oac:hasBody ann:titleByStian . ann:titleByStian dcterms:created "2011-07-14T15:05:43"^^xsd:dateTime ; dcterms:creator _:stian . } # Named graph with the actual annotation body. # Retrieved or embedded separately in formats lacking support for named graphs. ann:titleByStian { manifest:ro dc:title "My research object"@en . manifest:ro dc:description "This RO showcases my example workflow"@en . }
Note that the body of the annotation is here a named graph containing two statements used to associate the research object with a title and a description. Using a named graph representation like TriG allows us to include the annotation body directly, while other representations like RDF/XML would require a separate retrieval of the annotation body resource, RDF reification or Content in RDF.
This separation of annotation metadata and annotation bodies allows multiple structured (and potentially inconsistent) annotations to be asserted about resources in the research object. The annotation bodies are not limited to describe only aggregated resources, but may also relate them to other resources and controlled vocabularies.
OAC allows multiple targets of an annotation, this enables us to specify relationships between resources that compose the research object. As an example, the following specifies the relationship between the proxies manifest:inputProxy, manifest:outputProxy and manifest:workflowProxy. It specifies that there exists a workflow run that is an instance of manifest:workflowProxy, that consumed manifest:inputProxy and produced manifest:inputProxy. In this example we don't know much more about the workflow run itself (it might be described in depth using provenance ontologies), so it's here only given as an anonymous node within the annotation body. ("there exists a run such that..)
{ :roRelation a oac:Annotation, oac:DataAnnotation ; oac:hasTarget manifest:inputProxy, manifest:workflowProxy, manifest:outputProxy ; oac:hasBody ann:roRelation. } ann:roRelation { # Classifies the resources within the research object manifest:inputProxy a rel:Input . manifest:outputProxy a rel:Output . manifest:workflowProxy a rel:Workflow . # An (anonymous) workflow run relating them to each-other _:run a rel:Run ; rel:hasInput manifest:inputProxy ; rel:hasOutput manifest:outputProxy ; rel:hasWorkflow manifest:workflowProxy . }

Annotation Ontology (AO)
As an alternative to OAC, annotations could be specified using the Annotation Ontology. The Annotation Ontology provides a common model for document metadata derived from text mining and manual annotation of scientific papers. Specifically, it provides the means for annotating electronic documents or parts of electronic documents. Different kinds of annotations can be classified, e.g., comment, notes, examples, erratum, etc.
AO is normally applied such that an annotation is the creation of a link between an annotated document, and an annotation topic.
From http://code.google.com/p/annotation-ontology/wiki/Annotation, an annotated document has been annotated to have the topic of the enzyme beta-secretase 1. Additional metadata about when the document was retrieved is provided using PAV.
Note that the statements within the "annotation topic" box (ie. name) is not part of the annotation, that is just additional information about a term from a controller vocabulary. The annotation is in AO viewed as a "yellow marker"-type entity that links a (previously known) topic with a document.
From this example above (using aot:Qualifier) one could strictly argue that for our annotation bodies, AO should be applied 'opposite' to how we used OAC, as the annotation bodies have the aggregated resources as their topics. We feel that this is somewhat counter-intuitive, as our motivation was to find a mechanism for attaching rich descriptions to aggregated resources. However, AO encourages specialisation through subclassing ao:Annotation, for instance an aot:Note relates an ann:body as a free-text note describing (a sub-selection of) the annotated document.
AO can therefore be used in a manner similar to OAC data annotations, by introducing a new subclass ro:DataAnnotation. In this style, ao:annotatesResource (rather than aof:annotatesDocument as we're not sure if our resource can be considered a foaf:Document) is used to indicate the annotated resource, and ao:body is used to indicate the content of the annotation, here as well referenced as a named graph or separate resource.
No ao:context is provided unless the annotation is talking about a selection of the resource. An advantage over OAC here is that clients who don't understand the AO selection can simply always follow ao:annotatesResource to find the aggregated resource - in OAC these are declared by indirection of the oac:hasTarget as a constrained target or a fragment selector. |
AO example assuming ro:DataAnnotation using named graphs in TriG format:
{ :description a ao:Annotation, ro:DataAnnotation ; ao:annotatesResource manifest:ro ; ao:body an:titleByStian ; pav:createdBy _:stian ; pav:createdOn "2011-07-14T15:02:14Z"^^xsd:dateTime . } an:titleByStian { manifest:ro dc:title "My research object"@en . manifest:ro dc:description "This RO showcases my example workflow"@en . }

2012-03-15 Open Annotation
An effort to merge the AO and OAC models into the "Open Annotation" model has started as part of the W3C Open Annotation Community Group.
On 2012-03-15 the AO and OAC communities met in Boston for a Open Annotation Technical Meeting. Many agreements were reached on merging the two models.
Here is a picture of Robert Sanderson presenting the outcome of the meeting, the "OA" model:
- A1 is the oa:Annotation. It has has a minimum one oa:hasTarget, the resource(s) this annotation is about.
- oa:hasBody points to an (optional) resource which is somewhat about the target(s). Thus this annotation says that S1 is about ST. S1 might be a retrievable web resource, or have an UUID with the (typically lightweight) body embedded using Content in RDF.
- The annotation can indicate a series of oa:hasSemanticTag. This is a scruffy version to say that an ontological term is related to the target.
- The annotation can be an instance of the subclass oa:DataAnnotation, this indicates that the (now required) body is intended for computational processing
- The subclass oa:GraphAnnotation is a subclass of oa:DataAnnotation, indicating that the body can be seen as an RDF graph. The graph can either be retrieved from the URI of the body, be embedded as a known RDF serialisation using Content in RDF, or be a named graph (if the annotation is within a quad-serialization/store).
- The target can be represented as any resource directly (oa:hasTarget <http://example.com/>) or by an intermediate oa:SpecificTarget node, which indicates the resource using* the required *oa:hasSource. The annotation (and its body) can then talk about the specific target rather than the whole resource, for instance a part of an image instead of the whole image.
- oa:hasSetup *can specify 0 or more alternate *oa:Setups for specifying how the resource is to be retrieved and prepared before applying the selectors. For instance a subclass of ao:Setup could specify HTTP accept and language headers for retrieval, while a more specific subclass could specify how to rotate a 3d molecule. Multiple setups indicate alternative setups - applications SHOULD try to apply one of the setup, but choose their own preferences between them.
- oa:hasSelector indicates 0 or more alternate oa:Selectors for specifying a subset of the resource - for instance a paragraph in an HTML page or a rectangle cutout from an image. This is an extension point, the OA core does not specify any seectors, except possibly the oa:AllSelector (?). Multiple selectors indicate alternative ways to select the same intended selection - although they are not required to be one-to-one matching. (for instance: rectangle selector vs. polygon selectors). As an extension point, different domains will make different selectors, and applications can pick the selectors they understand (if any), and will have their own preferences in case multiple can be applied.
- oa:hasStyle indicates 0 or more alternate oa:Styles for specifying how the annotator would prefer the target to be rendered/shown. For instance in a CSS selector, specifying border: red can make a red border appear around the selection.
- The application is free to find which combination of setup, selector and style it can apply, in particular for rendering an annotation.
- Annotation metadata should be standardized to specify the generator, creator, created - but no decision was made as to if these should be taken from existing vocabularies like Dublin Core Terms or PAV. The distinction between creator and generator is that the generator is what made the RDF (typically software), creator is who made the annotation (typically a person). These could also be specified on the body if they are different from the OA creator/generator/created.
- The oa:modelVersion (called 'version' in picture) specifies the version of OA used.
Overall the new proposed model should be a good fit for our case, in particular because oa:GraphAnnotation matches our ro:GraphAnnotation.
It would only be minimal changes to our current use of AO to use the new OA instead.
For example, our current RO 0.2 approach using AO 2:
:ann1 a ao:GraphAnnotation ; ao:annotatesResource <aworkflow.t2flow> ; ao:body <ann1.rdf> .
:ann1 a oa:GraphAnnotation ; oa:hasTarget <aworkflow.t2flow> ; oa:hasBody <ann1.rdf> .
But the devil is in the detail, and the DC/PAV style metadata (creator, date) has not yet been agreed on.

Marzouki : A Revolutionary President
By Asma Ghribi | Dec 18 2011
Arab Spring ,Carthage Palace ,Ennahdha ,President ,TroikaSome define him as Tunisia's first democratically elected president. Others argue that since he was not directly elected by the people, he is the candidate appointed by the Troika, the coalition of Ennahdha, Congress for the Republic (CPR) and Ettakatol.
He is Moncef Marzouki, the nonconformist recently elected Tunisian president. He refuses to wear a tie and wears a barnous (traditional man gown), announced in the speech he delivered from the Carthage Palace on December 16th that austerity will be the policy followed in managing the expenses of the Carthage Palace. He went as far as deciding to auction off the four other Presidential Palaces and allocate the revenues to the promotion of the employment sector in Tunisia.
At 66 years of age, he is an intellectual president, elected by 153 out of 217 members of the Constituent Assembly. He is the president who not only acts but also reacts. In the speech he delivered on Dcember 13th, President Marzouki used the term "sefiratâ€, which is a pejorative term used to describe unveiled women. In the following occasion and after a wave of criticism on social networks, he made it clear that he was well intentioned when using the word and that he only meant the surface meaning.
In his behavior and in his style, he is very humble. "Despite living in cities, deep inside I am still that simple bedouinâ€, he asserts referring to his southern roots. In his inaugural speech Marzouki said: "I represent the country, the people, and the revolution." He is not only an eloquent speaker, but he also honors his words through actions. Although the Opposition decided to boycott the election and opted for blank ballots, the opposition was the first to be invited to the Presdential Palace. In this regard, "Political pluralism in Tunisia has moved from fake to real,†said Ahmed Nejib Chebbi, head of the Progressive Democratic Party and prominent figure of the opposition.
Marzouki broke the iron wall that was built between the president and journalists after accepting a one hour interview in the Presidential Palace by 2 Tunisian journalists. Many observers noticed him making his answers and comments witty, wise and funny and amusing from time to time.
He is committed to the success of the Tunisian revolution. He is personally devoted to meeting the challenges encountering the country. He promised the mothers of the victims and the martyrs of the revolution that their children's blood won't go vain. He did not hesitate to call upon the Malian President to deliver the Tunisian sentenced to death and his request was positively accepted.
His critics claim that as head of a secular center left political party, he gave up his values to be able to form the coalition with Ennahdha, Tunisia's moderate Inslamist Party and become president. Also the uneven distribution of prerogatives between the Prime Minister and the President made many describe him as just a symbolic president.
Marzouki the human rights activist could only become a president in a post revolutionary Tunisia because he is a revolutionary president.

Get a better stock calculator with graphing, matrices, and more with Calculator [Android]
Posted By Locutus On September 14, 2012 @ 1:15 AM In Android | 4 Comments
[1]Your Android phone is a supercomputer. It can calculate the exact number of pixels from here to the Moon, but even then, there are some seemingly obvious things it's missing. For instance, on the standard, pre-installed Calculator app, you can only do standard scientific calculator tasks. This lets your phone replace a $20 calculator from Target, but is nothing special. With the free, confusingly named app Calculator, you can upgrade your Calculator app to include graphing, matrices, and more.
While the similar icon and app name may lead you to believe that Calculator will replace Calculator, Calculator in fact installs a second Calculator alongside Calculator. You'll want to find which one is your phone's original calculator and disable it so as not to get utterly confused every time you open up the app drawer.
Once opened, it looks exactly like the original Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean calculator app, except if you slide to the right twice, you'll get a matrices screen. This lets you do all of the fun math with matrices you learned in junior high and have forgotten since then. Swiping to the left gives you the Hex screen and the graphing screen. To graph something, just enter a function using the newfound Y and X keys on the Advanced panel and hit the Equals key. It'll appear on the chart once you swipe over.
To view your history, just tap on the horizontal barline at the top. Not everything is rosy in Upgraded Calculator land, unfortunately. There's no option to change the zoom level of the graph, which does away with most of the usefulness of including a graph. Other than that, though, the app is wonderful, and is a definite step above the standard Android calculator.

So the professor of my Don Quixote class, Dr. Carney, invited the class over for dinner and refreshments at her house. I've previously been to her house from previous classes with her so I was glad to obligue. My friend Nicole, who is also in the class, and I decided to go together and, as always, it was tons of fun.
She served us pasta, sauce, sparkling water, salad, garlic bread, cupcakes, and coffee. It was all so delicious and I was definitely stuffed when we left! We got to sit on her couches and look at all the cool things in her house, including a samurai sword, sage she got from Spain, and an organe tree her husband has grown/kept since he was in college. So it's basically a house full of discoveries and I love it. I highly recommend taking a class with Dr. Carney!

Christmas Present Cake Pops
Posted By Cat Davis On December 21, 2010 @ 8:45 am In Cake Pops,Christmas | 7 Comments
This week I have the daunting task of wrapping Santa's gifts. While I don't like putting it off to the last minute, I admittedly was distracted with wrapping presents of a different sort. The presents I have been dealing with are wrapped in sweet candy melts, tied with fondant and come with a smooth cake filling surprise. A lot more fun that dealing with paper, tape and curling ribbon if you ask me.
These Christmas Present Pops are shaped using a small square cookie cutter. By pressing the cake pop batter [1] into the cutter you can create a really nice "present" shape that can be placed on the stick in either direction to make them each a little unique.
Nothing is more festive than red and green so I dipped these in Wilton holiday colored candy melts. They dry with a nice shiny surface and are ready for wrapping in ribbon after a quick chill in the fridge.
For the "ribbon" I found it easiest to use Wilton's pre-colored fondant cut into long thin strips.
Top these gifts with a pretty little fondant bow and you have some pretty sweet presents to share with friends and family.
Looking for more cake pop inspiration? Check out the Wilton Pops Sweets on a Stick [2] book full of full color photos, cake pop design ideas and recipes.

I understand why people do shop when the big sales are on. I might be tempted to, except I never have my list ready until December 15. But this is what I dont understand. Why are the big retailers going to ruin Thanksgiving? They want us to shop early for the holidays, and many of them are offering Black Friday deals a week early giving us Saturday, Sunday Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday to get our shopping done. Why cant they stay closed on Thanksgiving Day and let us eat turkey with our families in peace?
Obviously, the retail climate is brutally competitive, given the lingering recession. The major news outlets are all happy-happy about economic indicators, but my personal economic indicators are telling me that things have definitely not returned to pre-recession levels.
Why, though, should we be enticed to forgo a rare opportunity to have some downtime no work, eat a great meal, see family we havent seen for a long time (even the annoying ones), watch football, play with the kids to do more shopping. How much shopping can one person do?
Family time is not what it used to be. Some of you will remember a time when stores werent open on Sundays. What did we do all day? How did we survive it?
In a relatively short time, it seems that nearly all of our societal stressors have conspired to steal our family time. Kids activities, especially sports, are the number one culprit. We want our kids to be active and have fun playing a sport, being part of a team, but why should a 10-year-old, or a 16-year-old, for that matter, practice and play as many days of the week as a professional athlete? Sports and other time-consuming childrens activities have become far more important in their lives than academics.
An aside: your kids chance of making a living at professional sports is minuscule. The NCAA released these figures. Of college players, only baseball players have a pretty good chance of going pro 11.6% Football 1.7%. Ice hockey 1.3%. Mens basketball 1.2%. Womens basketball .09%. Mens soccer 1.0%. Kids, and their parents and coaches, need to learn how to figure percentages, I think.
I guess if my kid were in school right now, Id be making sure he got his homework done and paid attention in school, rather than making his high school playing years the only best years of his life. Theres nothing worse than a high school burn-out. Especially one who blew out his knee and will spend his adulthood in pain.
I am not so naive as to think that we are going to go back to the days of having family meals and large blocks of family time. I do think, though, that institutions could become more family-friendly. Big box stores, schools, coaches, and parents could all easily make a decision that some days are set aside for downtime, that competition and winning are not the sole purposes in life. I dont think I am the only one who would appreciate it.

The Deyongh /Deom /Delisle Family Home PageUpdated September 6, 2000 |
I am researching the Deyongh family from St-Malo, France. Michel Deyongh is as far back as we go. His wife's name was Marie-Jeanne Nepveu. His son, Charles Constant Deyongh, a sailmaker, is the first of the family to immigrate to Canada. He married Marguerite Godreau in Quebec City, Canada on July 31,1832 in St-Roch parish. After his wife's death he remarried Sophie Perreault on September 13, 1852 also in St-Roch parish in Quebec City.We have been led to believe that he might have had a brother or two who moved on to the USA using the name Deyoung and this is what we are searching for.We would appreciate any help we can get and give any help that we can.We are also tracing the Delisle family. I have alot of information on them but am always looking for more. Especially the ones in France where I haven't been able to continue the line. Thanks for any help you can give me. |

Behind-the-star Life of Amy Winehouse Goes on Display in London
By Staff Reporter | Jul 03, 2013 11:32 AM EDT
An exhibit on Amy Winehouse in London aims to throw a little more light on the behind-the-scenes life of the deceased singer. Hosted at the Jewish Museum in Camden, the exhibition titled "Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait" received the inputs of her family, with a notable contribution by her brother Alex Winehouse.
On display are CDs, books, clothes, shoes, photographs and even fridge magnets which belonged to Amy Winehouse. The CDs include albums by The Velvet Underground, the Drifters and Teena Marie, and some of the books in her possession were "Kingdom of Fear" by Hunter S Thompson, 30 years of collected correspondence between Vladimir Nabokov and Edmund Wilson, and a Big Book of Quick Crosswords.
"Every time I go around there is something else that catches me. It is a really honest exhibition and you get a sense of the real person - as well as being a big, famous icon she was from a very strong, loving family and that really comes across," Abigail Morris, chief executive of the museum, told The Guardian.
Alex Winehouse contributed touching captions for the pieces in the exhibit - one of them is about a "Snoopy" book Amy Winehouse stole from him when they were children and that he now carries around with him. Elizabeth Selby, the curator, said that Alex Winehouse's memories of his sister really help to bring the exhibition together. "You get a sense of a very strong brother-and-sister relationship that's very typical - it is very affectionate but also perhaps they sometimes didn't get on," she explained.
Throughout her music career till her death two years ago at the age of 27, Amy Winehouse was often in the headlines for more than her music. "We wanted to show Amy in a slightly different light to how she has been perceived in the media," said Selby, referring to the singer's well-known struggles with substance abuse.
According to her brother, Amy Winehouse was incredibly proud of her Jewish-London roots. "We weren't religious, but we were traditional. I hope, in this most fitting of places, that the world gets to see this other side not just to Amy, but to our typical Jewish family," he said.

Heads Up: Ron Paul troubles ahead coming from New Republic article
Submitted by bobbyw24 on Wed, 08/17/2011 - 16:07Paul adviser Jesse Benton, however, had a response to my question on the newsletters: "Once again, the establishment is trying to flog a lame, tired 20 year old story that has been explained ad naseum in campaign after campaign. These items were not written by Dr. Paul and they are anathema to belief in human liberty."

We've dealt with this racism
We've dealt with this racism malarkey before. The tactic is old and tired. Group/race politics is a form of collectivism. Ron embraces individualism and does not believe in man-made groups. It is the collectivist that believe in groups instead of individuals.
It is a good sign that they are bringing this up again. First they ignore you, then they fight you, and then you win. For this specific election we are now moving beyond the ignore you part and on to the "fight you" part. It took us a lot longer last campaign to move from the ignore to the fight stage. Let them bring it. Truth is like light and it will burn the Vampires and cause them to run around like chickens with their heads cut off. This will be interesting.

Feds seek prison term for gun toting ex-doctor

E-Mail This Story
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- Federal prosecutors want a former Kansas doctor convicted of illegally possessing drugs and a gun to be sent back to prison for 10 years.
In a filing Wednesday, the government requested the maximum allowable sentence for former Goddard physician Lawrence M. Simons.
Simons was convicted last year of being a felon in possession of a firearm for giving a bail bondsman a pistol as partial payment in an unrelated domestic dispute. He was also convicted of unlawfully possessing controlled substances.
Prosecutors also want to tack on another 10 months for violating conditions of his release on a 2009 conviction for unlawfully distributing controlled substances.
The government cited incidents it contends show a person willing to intimidate and resort to violence to get what he wants.
Sentencing is Feb. 10.

Here's The Help You Need With Hemorrhoids |
Category: Health |
Always clean your anal area carefully and meticulously. With hemorrhoids present, the likelihood of infection can increase. Bacteria can cause abscesses through infected tissue. Wash after bowel movements and always in the shower. Clean the area thoroughly with soap and make sure to rinse any soap residue away to avoid discomfort.
Medical treatment for hemorrhoids after diagnosis include ice packs, hemorrhoidal cream, and suppositories. These treatments are targeted at first alleviating the symptoms. With the use of these treatments, hemorrhoids do not stand a chance. If you have hemorrhoids, consult your physician about one of these treatments as they will provide you the help you need.
Avoid scratching your hemorrhoids at all costs. Besides causing increased irritation, you can cause them to bleed and transfer germs from your hands. Hemorrhoids can easily become infected which can lead to deeper issues. Use a medicated ointment for those times when the itching or inflammation is too much to bear.
If you have not discussed things with a medical professional already than you shouldn't be using any type of over the counter medication for more than one week. This includes the standard creams that you find, but also any kind of suppositories. After this period of time, it is better to discuss things with your doctor.
Reduce the amount of salt you ingest. A lot of salt in your diet can increase swelling in the body due to water retention. This swelling will also occur in your hemorrhoids. By reducing salt you can alleviate some of your discomfort and help bring your blood pressure down, which also impacts hemorrhoid inflammation.
Hemorrhoid treatment products tend to be more temporary in nature. That is not to say that you can't use these products, but an easy way to maximize their effectiveness is to start making healthier food selections and limiting your intake of foods that are high in sugar, carbohydrates and fats.
When you use the restroom, do not push too hard. This will exacerbate your hemorrhoids; instead, try walking around to see if it makes you feel like using the bathroom. If that does not work, try engaging in light exercise to get your bowels moving. No matter what, do not force yourself.
In order to prevent hemorrhoids from forming, you have to make sure that you are not constipated. Constipation is one of the major causes of hemorrhoids. Be sure that you are getting a sufficient amount of water in your diet everyday. Doctors recommend drinking 8 glasses, or 64 ounces of water a day.
Do not spend too much time on the toilet waiting for a bowel movement to happen. It will only happen when your body is ready to make it happen. Sitting on the toilet reading a book for an hour is not going to help at all. Only try to go when you have the strong urge to go.
Drink pilewort as a tea. Pilewort is a little known treatment for internal hemorrhoids, as it helps to prevent bleeding and strengthen blood vessels in the affected area. Pilewort can also be used as an ointment in the event that you have an external hemorrhoid, for shrinkage and relief of pain and irritation.
Do not be embarrassed. Many people delay treatment of their hemorrhoids out of fear of embarrassment. This needlessly prolongs your suffering, and can allow the hemorrhoids to worsen. Nearly half of the population has suffered from hemorrhoids at some point in their lives, making them one of the most common things your doctor treats.
A great tip for your painful hemorrhoids is to try pushing it back where it belongs. This is a great thing to try because as long as it has not gotten to big, you can put it back inside where it belongs and lessen your chances of hurting it further.
When you have hemorrhoids, be sure to stay away from spicy foods. Spicy foods can be extremely irritating to your hemorrhoids. It is also recommended that you avoid consuming too much beer, soft drinks or coffee.
When you are going to wash your anal area where your hemorrhoid is located, be sure to do so with an unscented soap. Soaps that contain scents are more likely to irritate the anal area and can even cause itchiness. Moreover, be sure that the soap you are using is an antibacterial one.
An application of petroleum jelly can soothe hemorrhoids and speed up the healing process. Lubricating hemorrhoids in this way is especially effective when done immediately before a bowel movement. This eases the passage of fecal matter and reduces the irritation the process causes to hemorrhoids. Lubrication can also reduce itching and pain.
To prevent hemorrhoids resist the urge to rush through a bowel movement. Trying to hurry through a bowel movement can put unnecessary strain on the veins in the rectum. Take your time and let everything flow naturally.

If you have been following Mozilla or Firefox closely, you might have already been familiar to the "Boot to Gecko" project by Mozilla. Mozilla has been working on a mobile operating system that is intended to be synonymous to complete freedom. As a result, Mozilla is now in the final stages to release a completely open operating system for mobile devices.
The OS has now been christened "Firefox OS", with Mozilla announcing in its official blog that the mobile OS would come under the branding of the famous open source browser. The move marks the launch of smartphones based completely on open web standards; all apps and components of the OS would be entirely based on HTML5 and, essentially, run through the browser. (Think Chrome OS but for smartphones, and potentially tablets.) That means Firefox OS won't have anything such as 'native apps', which are designed to work only on specific operating system(s); it will be able to run any and all HTML5 apps without the need for developers to port a specific Firefox OS version. T
Mozilla has also announced that it's getting quite huge support from global partners, with a number of carriers signing contracts with Mozilla:
Mapping to key Firefox footprints around the globe, leading operators Deutsche Telekom, Etisalat, Smart, Sprint, Telecom Italia, Telefónica and Telenor are backing the open Firefox OS as an exciting new entrant to the smartphone marketplace.
Device manufacturers TCL Communication Technology (under the Alcatel One Touch brand) and ZTE today announced their intentions to manufacture the first devices to feature the new Firefox OS, using Snapdragon™ processors from Qualcomm Incorporated, the leader in smartphone platforms. The first Firefox OS powered devices are expected to launch commercially in Brazil in early 2013 through Telefónica's commercial brand, Vivo.
On paper Firefox OS sounds interesting but we will have to wait to see what Mozilla is able to offer us; if a web-based mobile OS can truly work; and if Firefox OS can challenge the dominance of Android and iOS. Are you excited about the release of Firefox OS just like I am? Or is this not even worth spend a thought upon? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

Mozilla's OS sounds great. I am ready and hope it does what it intends without limits.
Here is what I deal with Right now:iOS puts limits everywhere – only 1 sync for all, only 1, only 1… even HP's wifi (air) printers will not work with an apple unless the pod/pad is the only device "allowed" to use it.
Android: Tied to google, amazon. Better than iOS for flexibility (except music of course); BUT don't you feel like you are just a workstation for google or kindle and not an indendent system like a PC with the options to run unix, windows, sql, and where is my Android privacy? I suspect nowhere.
I can't wait. Go Mozilla!
Sounds interesting for sure. We will have to see what phones, tablets, notebooks are offered with it and how it compares to Windows 8 RS, which has already been predicted to become the 2nd largest phone OS after Android.
I believe throwing a spanner into the works, every now and again, does shake things up for the better. A third player could make things interesting.
Here's hoping…

Shemales are best described as transsexuals who decidedly retain their penis and testicles. Shemales cum or ejaculate viable sperm, and can reproduce. If they have children, they are often referred to as Tranny moms. Additionally, in the spectrum of adult entertainment, the Shemale performer is often preferred to complete trans-women because she is visually seen cumming in a sex video. This visible ejaculation of shemale cum is considered erotically stimulating to most transsexual admires, and literally may influence shemales to retain their balls. Furthermore, Shemales often describe themselves as neither man nor woman but of the third gender. That is genetically speaking, they have breasts similar to a woman, but have a cock and balls like a man. They are truly somewhere in between genders, or of a "third gender." However, from the perspective of persons viewing transsexual porn, the more shemale cum ejaculated in orgasm, the better the pornographic film. So, we are collecting the best shemale cum clips available for your erotic pleasure. Likewise, below is just some of what we believe to be some of the higher quality shemale cum shots recorded on video from the best transsexual performers. Newest shemale cum clips

Removal of any part of the body, usually surgical removal of part or all of a limb. Congenital amputation means lack of a limb at birth (see agenesis). Surgical amputation may be a lifesaving measure to prevent excessive blood loss from injury or to check the spread of infection, gangrene, or malignant soft-tissue or bone tumours. Reconstructive surgery, prompt treatment with blood and plasma, and rehabilitation have made amputation rarer than in the past. Prostheses reduce handicaps for amputees, whose surgery may have been designed with a prosthesis in mind.
Learn more about amputation with a free trial on Britannica.com.
Hemicorporectomy, or amputation at the waist, is the most radical amputation.
Genital modification and mutilation may involve amputating tissue, although not necessarily as a result of injury or disease.
As a rule, partial amputations are preferred to preserve joint function, but in oncological surgery, disarticulation is favored.
The first step is ligating the supplying artery and vein, to prevent hemorrhage. The muscles are transected, and finally the bone is sawed through with an oscillating saw. Skin and muscle flaps are then transposed over the stump, occasionally with the insertion of elements to attach a prosthesis.
In some rare cases when a person has become trapped in a deserted place, with no means of communication or hope of rescue, the victim has amputated their own limb:
Even rarer are cases where self-amputation is performed for criminal or political purposes:
Body Integrity Identity Disorder is a psychological condition in which an individual feels compelled to remove one or more of their body parts, usually a limb. In some cases, that individual may take drastic measures to remove the offending appendages, either by causing irreparable damage to the limb so that medical intervention can not save the limb, or by causing the limb to be severed.
A large proportion of amputees (50-80%) experience the phenomenon of phantom limbs; they feel body parts that are no longer there. These limbs can itch, ache, burn, feel tense, dry or wet, locked in or trapped or they can feel as if they are moving. Some scientists believe it has to do with a kind of neural map that the brain has of the body, which sends information to the rest of the brain about limbs regardless of their existence. Phantom sensations and phantom pain may also occur after the removal of body parts other than the limbs, e.g. after amputation of the breast, extraction of a tooth (phantom tooth pain) or removal of an eye (phantom eye syndrome).
A similar phenomenon is unexplained sensation in a body part unrelated to the amputated limb. It has been hypothesized that the portion of the brain responsible for processing stimulation from amputated limbs, being deprived of input, expands into the surrounding brain, such that an individual who has had an arm amputated will experience unexplained pressure or movement on his face or head.
In many cases, the phantom limb aids in adaptation to a prosthesis, as it permits the person to experience proprioception of the prosthetic limb.
Another side-effect can be heterotopic ossification, especially when a bone injury is combined with a head injury. The brain signals the bone to grow instead of scar tissue to form, and nodules and other growth can interfere with prosthetics and sometimes require further operations. This type of injury has been especially common among soldiers wounded by improvised explosive devices in the Iraq war.

good deal, should offer more coupon codes!
My OEM front roll mount was completely shredded at the lower joint of the rubber bushing after 147,000 miles. This replacement mount has webbing in the rubber bushing on both sides of the diagonal member as opposed to the OEM rubber bushing being just a floating diagonal member across the diameter. I've only had the bushing on for 2 weeks and the vibration control is much better and the assembly was a perfect fit.
Perfect fit for the right price!
I was shocked to have saved so much money on my part, and with quick delivery. Very happy.
excellent price !
Quick shipping, good prices.

My name is Yaser Nazzal, a recent graduate of an MA in Animation and Illustration. My experience is wider though: Starting with Graphic Design (BA obtained in Jordan plus work experience in the field) I continued with a job in TV as assistant director (with a bit of post-producing) that let me to my MA in Animation – the field that I have always wanted to follow but which was not available to study for in my natal country.
I am an extremely passionate person, totally committed. This is how I can contribute to your company to your collective, as I am highly exuberant and enthusiastic about anything that I work on.
Coming from a different cultural background, this will always shine through my work giving it just that bit of more depth, the different angle. This is a fact that I think you would love about me – I always try to see things in different ways.
My program base includes 3D Software, AutoCad and the Adobe suite – Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere. These software skills are still to be polished when it comes to animation but given the chance I know I would make fantastic progress, and I would make a difference to your company.
The job I would be interested in applying for would be Animator, Graphic Designer and Graphic Motion, but any position of a lower rank that would, through hard work and study, get me into one of these position would also be welcome.
