Why do you need a poetry app? The better question, to my mind, is why don't you? For with the iF Poems app, created by Allie Esiri and Rachel Kelly, you will have more than 200 classic poems at your fingertips, all of them (yes, I do mean all of them) perfect to read and recite for children and adults alike. It's the first poetry app for children, but grown-ups will get a great deal out of it, too.
I have always loved learning poetry by heart. One of my favourite books — this was in the days before apps, my dears — is the wonderful anthology By Heart: 101 Poems to Remember by the late Ted Hughes.
It's true to say that once you have learnt a poem, you really do have something to treasure; something that no one can take away from you, ever. I learnt some of the poems in Hughes's book more than a decade ago, but they are still in my head, to be silently recited to myself as I travel on the Tube or go for a swim. Bliss.
So we're delighted to offer you a taster here of 30 poems, all of which are featured on iF Poems. We've got Blake, we've got Burns, we've got Dickinson and Rossetti — all of which, we hope, will inspire you and your family not only to learn them, but also to write some poems. Once you have done that you can enter our iF Poems/The Times Young Poet Competition — and who knows, one day, Carol Ann Duffy may have to look to her laurels. Entries will appear on The Times website. For further inspiration, you can see videos of Jonathan Ross and Will Young, and listen to Helena Bonham Carter and Bill Nighy, all reciting poems from the app.
So get reading — and writing!

SELFIE mirror takes photos and posts them to Twitter
For those who must tear themselves away from gazing into the mirror in order to take a selfie, iStrategyLabs has come up with a solution.

London to trial "intelligent" pedestrian crossings
Ever walk halfway across a road only to have the light change and force you to make an undignified rush to the other side? The answer is almost certainly yes. If you're in London, that may soon be a thing of the past however, with Transport for London announcing upcoming trials of an "intelligent" pedestrian crossing. Called the Pedestrian Split Cycle Offset Optimisation Technique (SCOOT), it's part of a £2 billion to £4 billion program to improve roads over the next ten years and decrease traffic fatalities in the capital by 40 percent by the year 2020.

Few composers, perhaps, lend themselves for extensive research the way Saint Thyagaraja – of the celebrated Trinity of south Indian classical music – does. His compositions, indispensable at performances today, not only illustrate his devotion for Rama, but also offer rare insights to rather rich musical idioms.
Musicians, over the years, have engaged with his work at different levels – some notated his compositions, some interpreted the lyrics and others explored the musical attributes that were at the heart of his compositions.
In recent times, valuable contributions made by scholars such as T. S. Parthasarathy, T. K. Govinda Rao and S.V. Krishnamurthy have been popular among artistes as well as students.
G. Dwarakanath's work on select compositions of Thyagaraja is yet another addition to the available texts and research material. The author, in the book on Gana Raga Pancharatna Kritis — Nattai, Gowla, Aarabhi, Varaali, Sri Ragam, translates the text in Telugu and Sanskrit to English, trying to provide background and context where ever necessary.
He breaks the longer phrases into smaller units, explaining what each of the words mean, separately, and when strung into a sentence. Students may find the notations provided at the end of the book useful.
Listening experience
If anything fascinated Thyagaraja almost as much as Lord Rama did, it was music itself. He believed that music, in its highest form, was the ultimate medium to converse with the almighty. Many of his compositions reflect his take on music, with the composer making nuanced references to different aspects of melody and rhythm. In 'Forgotten Chapters of Music', the author presents an interesting compilation of such compositions of Thyagaraja which celebrate music. His views on certain important aspects of music and practice of music are worthy of attention.
The poetic and poignant lyrics in these compositions, all masterpieces, drenched in music that is suitably classical can provide the most beautiful listening experience. When the author highlights the profound meaning of each word and line, it only becomes more evident how important it is for those singing or playing these compositions to be sympathetic to the sound and spirit of lyrics. There could be no other way of doing justice to a composer who submitted himself to the power of music and of the Lord he loved.
To sum up, any responsible engagement with Thyagaraja's work can only be a welcome addition to the considerably huge body of work that exists. In being simple and accessible, these two books seek to reach out to students of music.
PANCHARATNA KRITIS — Meanings and Significance: Rs. 100.
FORGOTTEN CHAPTERS OF MUSIC — And 22 Krithis of Thyagaraja on the Science, Art and Beauty of Music: Rs. 150. Both the books by G. Dwarakanath; Vasantha Vallabha Music Academy, 803, 6th A Main Road, ISRO Layout, Bangalore-560078.
Keywords: Thyagaraja, classical music, music books, book review

Ezreal's Q (Mystique shot) doesn't apply critical anymore after the most recent patch? Isn't it used to apply critical hits? I don't remember.
Umbral Highlord
All the info you coulde ever want to know: (From the league of legends wiki) Mystic Shot is a collision linear skillshot that deals physical damage to the first enemy unit it hits. If Mystic Shot hits a target, all of Ezreal's champion ability cooldowns are reduced by 1 second. Mystic Shot procs on-hit effects. Mystic Shot pops spell shield. Mystic Shot will not damage Black Shield. Mystic Shot does not proc spell vamp or Rylai's slow similarly with all spells and abilities that proc on-hit effects. **Mystic Shot cannot critically strike.** Mystic Shot's cooldown reduction applies to all of Ezreal's skills, including Mystic Shot itself. http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wik...bility_Details

"Out of curiosity, has anyone out there read Lakoff & Johnson's "Metaphors we > live by"? Actually, I have read the book and it is informative, but dated. It doesn't address the issue of metaphors in UIs which are very different from language based metaphors, which is why they often fail.
Language metaphors are constructed when speakers have violated one of the Gricean Maxims listed below. In order for communication to happen, speakers and listeners all have to agree implicitly to the Gricean Maxims below and assume that they are true for everyone.
this feels like a very interesting resource. I didn't dive too deep, but the idea and design style intrigue me.

Pella ProLine preventative measures
My house I just recently bought has Pella Proline windows between 10 and 15 years old. I know that these windows are prone to rotting out behind the aluminum cladding. I haven't had any problems with rot or even the start of rot yet with these windows and I was wondering if there were some preventative measures to take to prevent the rot issue?
I was thinking of removing the sashes and primering the unfinished wood in the sides of the sash, especially the upper one where if you look you closely you can see exposed wood where it rides in the track. Also I was going to go around and caulk all the seams in the cladding. How do I remove the sashes so I can weatherproof them? Also, I removed the screens from the windows for looks reasons. Is it safe to permanently remove the screens from these windows? |
If the frames are prone to rotting painting the sashes will have no effect. It's the trapped moisture in the frame that does the damage.
Screens keep the bugs out, little else. They won't keep a pet or kid from falling out if they lean against it. Ron |
This observation is based on another clad(vinyl) window in a house built in 2000. Theses windows are all in various stages of demise due to the lack of proper installation. Not only are the windows "toast", but the OSB sheathing is in varoius stages of rot. If you can check the installation of your windows do it. Pick the windows facing the weather initially. Caulking and hoping will do no good. Ron |

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Rob Ninkovich charged into the Denver backfield and knocked the ball out of Peyton Manning's hand. One play later, the New England Patriots had a third-quarter touchdown.
Then, with less than four minutes left in the game and the Broncos rallying, the linebacker-turned-defensive-end forced Willis McGahee to fumble and the Patriots recovered again.
"That," McGahee said, "changed the game."
New England kept the ball the rest of the way and beat Denver 31-21 last Sunday. For Ninkovich, it was another step forward in his transition to a new position for coach Bill Belichick, who places a premium on having players who can contribute in several spots.
"Just having the versatility helps everything," Ninkovich said, "helps the defense, helps the team, helps me."
He'll have a much different challenge on Sunday in Seattle. Instead of facing the 36-year-old, 6-foot-5 Manning, he'll try to sack the Seahawks' more mobile quarterback, 23-year-old, 5-foot-11 rookie Russell Wilson.
The keys to stopping him are collapsing the pocket so Wilson can't escape the rush, Ninkovich said.
"Sometimes watching the tape you can see that the rush will get to him and he's able to kind of just get around some guys," he said. "It definitely is different (playing against) him as opposed to a guy who's 6-4 that can stand tall in the pocket. He's obviously got to move a little bit to get to some of those windows" where he can have a clear line of vision between big linemen.
Ninkovich's responsibilities are simpler this season at his new position. He rarely has to worry about covering receivers. His job is to beat his blocker and tackle the ball carrier.
But that blocker almost always is bigger than the 260-pound, 6-foot-2 Ninkovich, who usually was blocked by a tight end last season.
"You just have to play with a different type of leverage and mentality, obviously, (when you're) going against a guy that you're giving up a lot of weight to," he said, "but it's all about technique and working your hands and not letting them get underneath you. So being a little bit shorter ... helps you get underneath those guys. They don't like that too much."
Last season, his seventh in the NFL and third with the Patriots, Ninkovich started all 16 games at outside linebacker. He made a career-high 62 tackles, had 6 1/2 sacks, returned one of his two interceptions for touchdowns, forced one fumble and recovered two.

Explain your answer. ANS Production managers are generally held responsible for the material quantity variance because they make decisions that affect how materials are used in production. Purchasing managers are held responsible for the material price variance because they make the decisions that affect how much is paid for the materials purchased. C) explain how standard costing system can be used to control costs in a manufacturing department? ANS Standard costs are the theoretical costs of purchasing material and producing a product. They provide a benchmark against which actual costs may be compared.They allow the calculation of variances. Significant variances may be investigated to determine the cause of problems, or the source of positive variances. Corrections may be made to processes, and behaviours to help ensure that unfavourable variances do not reoccur, (and favourable variances do happen again).Responsibility for certain variances is assigned to those departments or managers who are in the best position to influence performance in those areas Question 2Gumnut Corporation produces containers of frozen food. During April, Gumnut produced 1,450 cases of food and incurred the following actual costs. Variable overhead $ 11,000 Calculate the following Fixed overhead 26,000 A) direct material price variance = PQ ( AP – SP) Actual labour costs (8,000 direct labour hours) 151,200 = 30,000 ($2.20* - $20) which = $6,000 unfavourable Actual material costs (30,000 kilograms purchased and used) 66,000 *$2.20 = $66,000 / 30,000 Standard cost and annual budget information are as follows: Standard costs per Case Direct labour (5 hours at $18) $ 90.00 B) Direct material quantity variance = SP(AQ-SQ) Direct material (20 kg at $2) 40.00 = $2.00 (30,000 – 29000*) Variable overhead (5 hours at $1.50) 7.50 = $2,000 unfavourable Fixed overhead (5 hours at $3) 15.00 *29000 lbs =1450 X 20lbs per unit Total $152.50 C) Direct labour rate variance = AH(AR – SR) = 8,000 ( $18.90* - $18.00) Annual Budget Information = $7200 Unfavourable Variable overhead $150,000 *$ 18.90 = 151,200 / 8000 Fixed overhead $300,000 Planned activity for year 100,000 direct labour hours D) direct labour efficiency e) variable overhead spending F)variable overhead efficiency G) fixed overhead budget h) fixed overhead volume variance = SR(AH – SH) variance variance = SVR ( AH –SH ) variance = variance = $18.00 (8,000-7250*) = $1.50 (8,000 – 7250) actual fixed overhead – =Actual fixed overhead – = $13,500 Unfavourable =Actual variable overhead – = $1,125 Unfavourable budgeted fixed overhead applied fixed overhead *7250 hours = 1450 units X (AH x SVR) = $26,000 - $25,000* = $25,000 - $21,750* = 5hrs per unit =$11,000 – (8000) ($1.50)= = $1000 unfavourable $3,250(positive) $1,000 favourable *$25,000 = $ 30,000 (annual)/12 months *$21750 = 1450 units x %15.00 per unit † Consistent with the discussion in the text, we choose not to interpret the volume variance as either favorable or unfavorable. Some accountants would designate a positive volume variance as "unfavorable" and a negative volume variance as "favorable." Question 4 The Mancusco Company uses a flexible budget and standard costs to aid planning and control of its machining manufacturing operations. Its normal-costing system for manufacturing has two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct manufacturing labour – both variable) and two indirect – cost categories variable manufacturing overhead and fixed manufacturing overhead, both allocated using direct manufacturing labour – hours). At the 40,000 budgeted direct manufacturing labour-hour level for August, budgeted direct manufacturing labour is $800,000, budgeted variable manufacturing overhead is $480,000, and budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $640,000. The following actual results are for August: :- Direct materials price variance (based on purchases) $176,000 F :- Direct materials efficiency variance 69,000 U :- Direct manufacturing labour costs incurred 522,750 :- Variable manufacturing overhead flexible-budget variance 10,350 U :- Variable manufacturing overhead efficiency variance 18,000 U :- Fixed manufacturing overhead incurred 597,460 :- Fixed manufacturing overhead spending variance 42,540 F The standard cost per pound of direct materials is $11.50. The standard allowance is three pounds of direct materials for each unit of product. During August 30,000 units of product were produced. There was no beginning inventory of direct materials. There was no beginning or ending work in process. In August, the direct materials price variance was $1.10 per pound. In July, labour unrest caused a major slowdown in the price of production, resulting in an unfavourable direct manufacturing labour efficiency variance of $45,000. There was no direct manufacturing labour price variance. Labour unrest persisted into August. Some workers quit. Their average wage rate in August exceeded the standard average wage rate by $0.50 per hour. A)Compute the following for August: i)Total pounds of direct materials purchased $176,000 / $1.10 = 160,000 pounds ii) Total pounds of excess direct materials used $69,000/$11.50 = 6,000 pounds iii) Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance $10,350 - $18,000 = $7,650F iV) Total number of actual direct manufacturing labour-hours used = $800,000/ 40,000 hours = $20 per hour actual direct manufacturing labour rate = $20 + $0.50 = $20.50 actual direct manufacturing labour – hours = $522,750 / $20.50 = 25,500 hours V) Total number of standard direct manufacturing labour-hours allowed for the units produce = $480,000 ÷ 40,000 = $12 per direct manuf. labour-hour Variable manuf. overhead efficiency variance of $18,000 ÷ $12 = 1,500 excess hours Actual hours – Excess hours = Standard hours allowed 25,500 – 1,500 = 24,000 hours Vi) Production-volume variance ==Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead rate= $640,000 ÷ 40,000 hours = $16 per direct manuf. labour-hour Fixed manufacturing overhead allocated = $16 24,000 hours = $384,000 Production-volume variance = $640,000 – $384,000 = $256,000 U B)Describe how Mancusco's control of variable manufacturing overhead items differs from its control of fixed manufacturing overhead items ANS The control of variable manufacturing overhead requires the identification of the cost drivers for such items as energy, supplies, and repairs. Control often entails monitoring nonfinancial measures that affect each cost item, one by one. Examples are kilowatts used, quantities of lubricants used, and repair parts and hours used. The most convincing way to discover why overhead performance did not agree with a budget is to investigate possible causes, line item by line item .Individual fixed overhead items are not usually affected very much by day-to-day control. Instead, they are controlled periodically through planning decisions and budgeting procedures that may sometimes have planning horizons covering six months or a year (for example, management salaries) and sometimes covering many years (for example, long-term leases and depreciation on plant and equipment). Relationship between two variences Yes, the two variances are related. (1 mark) Both are computed by comparing actual labour time to the standard hours allowed for the output of the period. Thus, if there is an unfavorable labour efficiency variance, there will also be an unfavorable variable overhead efficiency variance. B) Independent to requirement (A), should the performance of Glitzy Company be deemed less than satisfactory if all of its variances are unfavourable? The performance of a division should not be considered as less than satisfactory simply because all variances are unfavourable. A firm expects unfavourable variances if it uses an ideal performance standard. As long as the firm is making satisfactory progresses toward the standard, unfavourable variances are measures of progresses needed to attain the goal; they are not measures of unsatisfactory performances. On the other hand, an unfavourable variance may signal that the performance of the division is below the expectation if the firm uses a currently attainable standard. Firms with currently attainable standards expect the division to meet the goals in each and every operation.

Everything you need for a pumpkin carving partyBy Martha Stewart Living staff, Martha Stewart LivingUpdated 9:15 AM ET, Fri October 25, 2013Nature's canvas 8 photosCarved creations – The clip-art designs here, created by crafts editor Marcie McGoldrick and professional carver Marc Evan, show how the same things that attract you to textiles and prints—strong images, repeating graphics—make for a beautiful pumpkin.Hide Caption 1 of 8Nature's canvas 8 photosCarved creations – If Louis Comfort Tiffany ever carved a pumpkin, it may have looked like this one from illustrator Marc Evan, cofounder of Maniac Pumpkin Carvers, in Brooklyn. These Art Nouveau--inspired flowers and leaves drape from the top, just as in the stained-glass lampshades. The stacked display, opposite, likewise features a repeating pattern: The design is carved a few times around the lower pumpkin and aligns with a continuation—plus an owl—on the smaller 'Blue Moon' pumpkin on top. Hide Caption 2 of 8Nature's canvas 8 photosCarved creations – A simple checked pattern becomes playfully spooky with staggered small icons instead of blocks of color. Marc Evan created these crow and skull icons, which are accented with freehand Xs.Hide Caption 3 of 8Nature's canvas 8 photosCarved creations – Find art in juxtaposition: not only by placing a five-pound little guy next to a 90-pound prizewinner, but also by re-creating the look of rich Fortuny fabric in the humble flesh of a pumpkin. (To prolong the pumpkin's life, don't gut it: The design is so strong, it doesn't need the added contrast of backlighting.)Hide Caption 4 of 8Nature's canvas 8 photosCarved creations – You need little more than a drill (and three bits) to create this doily effect. The intricate and lacy look is achieved by repeating a wedge pattern. Given how small some of these holes are, the design allows for errors. (This one has mistakes— but can you even tell?)Hide Caption 5 of 8Nature's canvas 8 photosCarved creations – Daisies have an uncomplicated beauty that lends well to graphic design (look no further than Marimekko's archive). On these, the pattern is positioned both vertically and horizontally, so the stems snake either around or over the pumpkins. The flowers' bright centers are pierced with a drill.Hide Caption 6 of 8Nature's canvas 8 photosCarved creations – This carving is all about size and subtlety: The squatness of the large squash is ideal for a looping horizontal design,and the low contrast in hue between carved and uncarved flesh plays up the fluffy, textural mums.Hide Caption 7 of 8Nature's canvas 8 photosCarved creations – Download the desired design at marthastewart .com/pumpkins, print it out, and then cut out the template with scissors. The same vine was carved six times around the larger pumpkin.Hide Caption 8 of 8Story highlightsUse these tips to carve out a pumpkin and a party for HalloweenChoose smooth, firm and symmetrical pumpkins for carvingUse the right tools: Melon ballers and linoleum cutters work!Host a gathering that kicks off Halloween with a movable feast, friends and family, and a riot of funny faces. Here's your go-to guide for everything including pumpkin picking strategies, carving techniques, and printable templates. We'll even show you what to do with the seeds!Martha Stewart Living: 15 kitchen shortcuts that will change the way you cook Smashing pumpkin Halloween invitationsGet your party started right with Halloween invitations adorned with a familiar grin.Choose a carving locationIf weather permits, consider having a daytime party outside on a picnic table, where it won't matter as much if you make a mess. Keep sharp instruments safely organized in buckets and on trays on the picnic table.Whether you're inside or outdoors, cover your table (or tables) with newsprint or kraft paper for quick, easy cleanup. If inside, you may want to protect the floor, as spilled pumpkin flesh and seeds can be slippery.Martha Stewart Living: 19 tips for perfect laundry every time How to pick pumpkinsAsk guests to bring their own pumpkins, or plan on providing them for the whole party. Be sure to choose ones that are smooth, firm, and symmetrical. They don't need to be giant -- keep in mind that people will be taking their jack-o'-lanterns home at the end of the party. Have a few extra pumpkins on hand for any late arrivals.What to ponder at the patchDesign dictates shape: If you know what design you want to make, pick a pumpkin accordingly. Tall, oblong ones will work best for vertical designs, whereas short, squat ones are better for horizontals. Flat can be fine.Some pumpkins have a flatter side (where they rested against the ground as they grew). Work it to your advantage, since carving on a flat surface is easier than carving on a rounded one.If you plan to group pumpkins, rotate them to see how your design will continue from one to the next. Also try rotating if you're stacking pumpkins: Some nest better at certain angles. (Leave the bottom pumpkin's stem intact, or just trim it—cutting it off can invite premature rotting.)Martha Stewart Living: 20 super-efficient, super-effective ways to clean all the things Nature's canvasThis year, try an upgrade on the usual toothy jack-o'-lantern and carve something that looks like art. Find inspiration for a design in the fabric of a favorite dress or a beloved wallpaper pattern from your childhood home. The results are so sophisticated and eye-catching, sometimes they don't even need the help of a candle to shine.Plan the designConsider how the pattern will fit on the pumpkin and how it will repeat. Tape it to the pumpkin. (You may need to cut slits into the perimeter of the template and overlap it so it conforms to the roundness.) Using an awl, a pushpin, or a T pin, prick every ⅛ to ¼ inch along the outlines of the template. Then remove the template, but keep it for reference.Martha Stewart Living: No-mess one-bowl desserts: 12 recipes for lazy bakers Create the designUse linoleum cutters to scrape the pumpkin skin. Start with the outline of the design and work inward. For details, use a No. 1 or No. 2 blade. For larger areas, use a No. 3 or No. 5 blade. Scrape in the same direction in each section to keep the lines unified.Pumpkin-carving toolsLook beyond the knife drawer to implements intended for other uses -- say, a melon baller or a keyhole saw. These pumpkin-carving tools will make carving an easy task for you and your guests.How to carve pumpkins with kidsTry a new approach to pumpkin carving with smaller kids: Have children use their own drawings to create a template. First, sketch a design on a piece of paper and cut out the pieces of the face separately. Next, tape the parts to the hollowed-out pumpkin. (Note that as you're going from paper to pumpkin, you may have to interpret the layout of the face a little differently.) Then trace the lines of the template by pokingholes with a needle tool. Guide your kids if they need help with sharp tools. Last, remove the template and carve along the dotted patterns with a miniature saw.Martha Stewart Living: Instant organization: Get it together in 15 minutes or less Party menu and favorsWhen the crew starts feeling as hollow as their creations, let them break for fall fare, including sage popcorn in handheld portions.The trio of cheddar, Gruyere, and fontina gives mac and cheese layers of sophisticated flavor, but it's still informal and delicious for all. The single servings make it easy to hold and carry.Grown-ups can warm up with a hot whiskey sour with Nocello, a walnut-flavored liqueur that adds a nutty twist.Sweet-potato soup gets its smoky essence from chipotle and a bit of crunch from a topping of salted pepitas; served in a mug, it's portable and hand-warming.Make sure to save room for dessert, a tasty sundae with an apple "bowl" that's been hollowed out to accommodate a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of homemade caramel sauce, and toasted walnuts.Make a classic Bundt cake, baked with caramelized apples, walnuts, and spices, to await the partygoers; the glaze is made with apple cider.For party favors or treats, fill crepe-paper pumpkin pouches with tiny toys and candy eggs.Keep your party treats somewhere special. Transform a few hollowed-out pumpkins into candy jar creatures by sawing open pumpkin tops and placing a bowl inside. Guests will love this witch who thinks she's gourd-geous.The party doesn't have to end once guests have finished carving their pumpkins.

Didn't expect Brad to give MH a try. Should be fun!
I hate to be that guy, but Drew would have a much easier time if he just crawled instead of running around. Great series regardless :)
Well that's disappointing to hear :(

God I missed Vinny :(
Oh my God

Thank you so much OP for posting the Sammy Keyboard. I've been looking for this keyboard with this color scheme since I left My OG Note for the Note 3. Absolutely made my freaking day. I notice that the key backgrounds are dark gray. Is there anyway to change that to complete black? Just asking, if not in happy either rest l way! THANKS!
