YOU DONâT KNOW JACK DP EIGIL BRYLD ENGAGES DP DAILIES PROCESS
Innovative Mega Playground Workflow System Accelerates Barry Levinson/Al Pacino HBO Film to Debut April 24
NEW YORK: Accomplished DP Eigil Bryld discovered a prototype of Mega Playgroundâs innovative DP Dailies thru DI process while working on the 2009 Jeff Daniels/Ryan Reynolds Paper Man. at the West Village production/post production complex. âWhen Playground CTO Terry Brown and principal Eitan Hakami demoed their new dailies thru DI solution for me, I found it a fast, cost-effective process for providing a consistent creative look for digitally printed dailies from original camera negative,â? he says.
Bryld, whose credits range from In Bruges to Kinky Boots and Becoming Jane, recommended the Playground to the Barry Levinson You Donât Know Jack production team. HBO established production offices there for the Al Pacino Jack Kevorkian biopic which shot on location in NY last year. âIâve been a fan of Barryâs since Diner, and was very pleased for the opportunity to work with him on Jack,â? Bryld says. âBy the time we established our Playground offices, Terry and Eitan had DP Dailies up and running. We ran some tests and quickly realized its potential in terms of image quality, speed and cost-effectiveness.â?
In addition to its operational efficiency and consistent image quality, Bryld was impressed with DP Dailies ability to bridge the feature film and TV production worlds. âIn traditional telecine, you can have images that look ok on the monitor but prints that donât match at all,â? he says. âWe are always concerned with the question, âWhat if it doesnât print?â DP Dailies supported my confidence in the quality of our footage. I could experiment with exposures, quickly see where we were going too bright or too dark and make all the necessary adjustments.
âFootage gets a life of its own when itâs loaded into the computer,â? Bryld adds. âWe would see things that came back a little warm or a little too cold, and compensate to maintain a consistent color temperature. Rushes must accurately reflect what youâve shot. It was impressive that nothing had to be redelivered with this project. The Playground team is passionate about their DP Dailies system. That spirit inspires a sense of trust in their ability to deliver what they say they can. Itâs also great to be involved with meaningful new developments early on, and to watch them come into their own.â?
Set to debut Saturday April 24th exclusively on HBO, the HBO Films Presentation of You Donât Know Jack co-stars Oscar® winner Susan Sarandon (Emmy® nominee for HBOâs Bernard and Doris), Danny Huston (HBOâs John Adams), Emmy® winner Brenda Vaccaro (Once Is Not Enough) and Emmy® winner John Goodman (The Big Lebowski).
You Donât Know Jack signaled a reunion for Bryld and Playground colorist Ben Perez. âWeâd worked together on other films, and already had an excellent rapport,â? Bryld says. âThat is very helpful in eliminating the issue of second guessing. I also liked the convenience of having Ben send test images to my iPhone to compare frames. And, the Playground also recalibrated my laptop to enable me to accurately view scenes online.â?
An economical director who uses contrast to increase the gravity and drama of his images, Levinson was pleased with the DP Dailies work. âOur Playground rushes were strong and not flat. We used the grade they applied to the dailies when we went to the DI stage,â? Bryld says.
âYouâre actually beginning your DI process at the dailies stage,â? he adds. âIf you can scan once it is not only a significant cost savings, but it means less negative handling. The archived scans can be conformed and color corrected with a finished look for digital previews. Itâs an easy argument to win over traditional telecine. I look forward to returning to Mega Playground with another project and, to experimenting with digital acquisition which would probably be ideal for the process.â?
Bryld and camera operator Charlie Libin shot You Donât Know Jack with two Panavision cameras primarily with opposing angles to capture both performances, but occasionally side by side. âLevinson and Pacino both like to work fast. We had to move the cameras quickly to keep the momentum going,â? he says. âWe shot on location all over New York: The Bronx, Queens, Staten Island⦠We did some green screen sequences, and some studio sets for scenes in Dr. Kevorkian s apartment. We also went on location for scenes in his original home in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oaks. This was a terrific experience and I was very pleased to be a part of it.â?
Mega Playground is strategically housed is three Manhattan locations. Two locations are in the heart of the thriving West Village independent film community. A 30,000 sq ft facility at 609 Greenwich St. with a neighboring 14,000 sq ft. facility opening in March 2010 at 96 Morton St. It also houses an editing satellite in Midtown in the famed Brill Building at 1619 Broadway. Mega Playground provides High Definition post- production services which include Avid and FCP rentals, online DIs, Color Correction, Telecine, Dub services, the proprietary DP Dailies digital workflow process, as well as production offices for feature film, Broadcast and Reality TV production companies.

Titan Fenrir TTC-NK85TZ CPU Cooler - Specifications, Availability and Pricing
Titan has seen the light and submits to TweakTown the Fenrir 120mm tower cooler for some rigerous testing.Specifications, Availability and Pricing
Titan builds the Fenrir with an all aluminium stack of 50 fins connected to four "U" shaped, 8mm heat-pipes that draw heat with direct contact to the CPU. The Fenrir will stand 156mm from the top of the CPU and weighs in at 790g without the fan. The Fenrir is accompanied by a 120mm, chromed fan. The outer housing is covered again in black over the chrome, which gives the fan a unique look; almost close to a black nickel look, which has been popular as of late. This fan is PWM controlled and Titan claims it runs at a quiet 17 dBA. Lastly, the Fenrir will mount to an LGA775 CPU and is also made to accommodate any AMD, socket 754 and later as well.
Titan released the Fenrir to the European markets last November and it is still proposed to hit the shelves in the U.S. as well. Google and Newegg both come up empty as far as trying to locate this cooler, even for an early listing in anticipation for arrival, but all to no avail at this time. As it is for now, if you live in the U.S. and plan to get the Fenrir, you may need to contact some of your overseas mates and see if they can locate one and send it to you. Just be aware of the time lost going through customs and any sort of import tax you may incur along the route.
Making contact with Titan and directly asking about the projected pricing, I was told that Titan expects to place the Fenrir on U.S. shelves with the retail price of around $60. While this price is a bit high, it seems to be an ongoing number that the newer coolers are releasing at. Still, at this time I can only speculate that the global economic situation is feeling a bit more pressure now and prices for resources are going up. This in turn has to be passed to the buyers, unfortunately.

Heads up: Top comment and controversy
Poll: Should men be expected to pay for dates?
14 August 2013 04:21 PM
Has the dating game changed to keep up with greater gender equality? That was the question asked by a new study presented to the American Sociological Association over the weekend, which drilled down into the attitudes men and women hold to footing the cost for a romantic one-on-one.
Men were expected to pay for dates in the days when they cornered the job market. Now, with roughly the same proportion of men and women in the US labour market, the researchers wanted to see if the prerogative has shifted accordingly.
The survey canvassed 18,000 unmarried, heterosexual men and women to find an answer:
* 84% of men and 58% of women said that men paid for most dating expenses.
* 39% of women hoped men would not ask them to contribute.
* 44% of women were annoyed when men "expected" women to pay.
* 44% of men said they would stop seeing women who never pay for dates.
Where do you stand? Should men still be expected to pay for a date, at least at the start of a relationship? Or is this a relic from a bygone era? Take the poll, and let us know in the comments below.

- Conference date: 07–12 October 2007
- Location: Buzios, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
Routine evaluation of aircraft crew exposure to cosmic radiation in the Czech Republic is performed by means of calculation method. Measurements onboard aircraft work as a control tool of the routine method, as well as a possibility of comparison of results measured by means of several methods. The following methods were used in 2006: (1) mobile dosimetry unit (MDU) type Liulin—a spectrometer of energy deposited in Si‐detector; (2) two types of LET spectrometers based on the chemically etched track detectors (TED); (3) two types of thermoluminescent detectors; and (4) two calculation methods. MDU represents currently one of the most reliable equipments for evaluation of the aircraft crew exposure to cosmic radiation. It is an active device which measures total energy depositions in the semiconductor unit, and, after appropriate calibration, is able to give a separate estimation for non‐neutron and neutron‐like components of H*(10). This contribution consists mostly of results acquired by means of this equipment; measurements with passive detectors and calculations are mentioned because of comparison. Reasonably good agreement of all data sets could be stated.

Taking up vital issues that we see, hear or experience in day to day life and treating them as authentically as possible are writer-director Balaji Sakthivel's forte. The acumen of the ace story teller comes to the fore yet again in Vazhakku Enn: 18/9 (U/A), his fourth. A neat presentation with an all new-cast could have been a tough proposition. But Sakthivel achieves it with élan. And as a maker who doesn't go in for pomp and extravagance, despite having trained under Shankar, the king of grandeur, Sakthivel should be a producer's delight. Live locations and the veracity of the characters are alluring aspects of Vazhakku Enn … The natural lighting and muted colour tones (Vijay Milton's expertise draws attention here) suit the mood of the story perfectly. But the slight jerks in camera movement are a strain on the eyes.
Juxtaposing the struggle of a poverty-stricken, vulnerable teenager with that of an arrogant, affluent school goer and very intelligently penning a story where the lives of these two totally unconnected people get intertwined, Sakthivel proves his screenplay skills. If Vazhakku Enn: 18/9 opens with the climax and manages to keep you hooked to the happenings till the end, it is because of the effective narration.
Life, which has been very cruel to Velu (Sri), a poor orphan, seems to appear slightly rosy, when he sees Jothi (Urmila Mahanta). But the joy is short-lived as he is sent to prison for no fault of his. When Kumaravel (Muthuraman), the police inspector, shows concern, the gullible boy believes him. Little does he know that the man is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Is Velu's life doomed beyond redemption? Or will Jothi come to his help?
The fresh faces make you feel that you are watching a real-life drama unfold. Sri, as the hapless Velu, has large eyes that reveal the right amount of innocence. And equally telling is the quiet demeanour of Urmila. Mithun Murali as the rich, spoilt brat, Dinesh, is passable, while Manisha Yadav, another greenhorn, can improve. After Sri and Urmila, it is the boy Chinnasamy, the friend of Velu, who makes a mark. Not to forget the spontaneous portrayal of the loud, acid-tongued Anjalai (Jothi's mother) played by Parvathy, and Muthuraman, the cunning policeman. Balaji Sakthivel's in-depth study of today's wealthy adolescent, Chennai's street life, and the mindset of slum dwellers for whom, the use of foul language is a weapon to safeguard themselves, has helped him present a realistic showcase. Sakthivel's diligence deserves an ovation.
Prasanna's unobtrusive RR and the sober number that comes without any accompanying music add to the genuineness. A dream run at the BO accompanied by encomiums from all quarters made Balaji Sakthivel a notable director after Kaadhal. Something his Samurai didn't and Kalloori couldn't achieve -- though they were also films that deserved to win. Now again Vazhakku Enn: 18/9 lives up to the standard Sakthivel set for himself.
The points made are poignant, and the messages are for both parents and youngsters alike. So go ahead!
Vazhakku Enn: 18/9
Genre: Cyber crime
Director: Balaji Sakthivel
Cast: Sri, Urmila Mahanta, Mithun Murali, Manisha Yadav
Storyline: A poor, naïve and honest pair of adolescents unwittingly pitted against a timid but well-to-do schoolgirl, and her rich, perverted boyfriend
Bottomline: Another product Sakthivel can be proud of

dc.description.abstract | The present study examines the influence of positive behavior support on collective teacher efficacy. The sample was 106 high school teachers. Participants completed an internet survey, consisting of descriptive data questions and six instruments [Collective Efficacy, Teachers' Sense of Efficacy, and the four subscales of the Effective Behavior Support Survey (Classroom Systems, School-wide Systems, Non-classroom Systems and Individual Student Systems)]. It was hypothesized that higher levels of Positive Behavior Support elements would mean higher collective teacher efficacy. Subjects who scored higher on behavior support scales also scored higher on collective teacher efficacy. The data suggest that the constructs of teachers' perception of collective teacher efficacy and behavior support are correlated, since approximately one-third of the variance of the collective teacher efficacy criterion was accounted for by behavior support predictors. | en |

The UFC asks its fighters to perform admirably but also make weight. For some Octagon combatants, weigh-ins are their worst nightmare. As recently as UFC 183, a couple of fighters missed the mark by a wide margin. Top 10 welterweight contender Kelvin Gastelum was nine pounds shy of the 171-pound limit. Meanwhile, No. 7-ranked flyweight John Lineker was five pounds over the 126-pound threshold.

Figuring out the latest method mappings are left as an exercise for the reader. By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to create an entity that can cause this: With minimal lag. So without further ado, lets begin! This tutorial assumes you have a basic understanding of NMS entities. Now, we don't need to create our own entity, entity physics, entity AI and all: we can piggy back on the default capabilities of a fireball. We now have to create our class, EntityMeteor for this tutorial, and make it extend EntityFireball. This will give us all the properties of a fireball. Your class should look something like this: Code:Java public class EntityMeteor extends EntityFireball { public EntityMeteor(World world) { super(world); }} We let the fireball perform all the required initialization. Since we've control over the logic of the fireball, we can do a few things to spice our meteor up: we can add a speed modifier (so that meteors accelerate, similar to how fireballs decelerate), and, of course, a section to create a trail of explosions for the meteor. We likely also want to form a crater after impact. For this end we can initialize three variables that we'll need. Code:Java private float speedModifier = 1.10F; // How much to accelerate the meteor by each updateprivate float trailPower = 10F; // The power of the spawned trail explosionsprivate float impactPower = 50F; // The power of the final explosion Now, we need to actually modify how the fireball behaves: we need to add some hooks to our entity. By analyzing EntityFireball (located in the net.minecraft.server package of CraftBukkit) with MCP, we find that the method h_ in EntityFireball is called whenever the fireball moves, similar to a PlayerMoveEvent. That is where we shall create our explosion, so we ought to override it. Code:Java @Overridepublic void h_() { // Perform logic on movement here super.h_(); // Delegate to original fireball code; run physics &c} In our move function, we now need to spawn an explosion. We can retrieve a Bukkit location object from the Bukkit mirror of the fireball, and use it to spawn an explosion at the current position of trailPower force. Code:Java Fireball fireball = (Fireball) this.getBukkitEntity();fireball.getWorld().createExplosion(fireball.getLocation(), trailPower); Depending on your target server architecture, you may wish to set up an accumulator so that you only spawn an explosion every other (or less) call of the move method. This may be a wise choice - the entities position is updated once a tick (20 times/second under optimal conditions). Having created a trail, we now want to complete the second goal: making the meteor speed up. At our disposal we have three variables: motX, motY and motZ. As their name suggests, they together make up a velocity vector. Hence, we need only multiple them by our speedModifier to accelerate our meteors. Code:Java motX *= speedModifier;motY *= speedModifier;motZ *= speedModifier; Time for the impact explosion. Once again referencing MCP, we find that the method a is called upon impact. We need just override it and use the same explosion method as we did when generating the trail. Code:Java @Overridepublic void a(MovingObjectPosition movingobjectposition) { Fireball fireball = (Fireball) this.getBukkitEntity(); fireball.getWorld().createExplosion(fireball.getLocation(), impactPower); super.a(movingobjectposition); // Perform cleanup, event firing and death} If you look at the approach above, it may occur to you that by removing the call to the superclass a can make your fireball indestructible. You'd be right. If you wish, you may implement a burrowing system by allowing a to be called for a number of times without delegating to the superclass: the fireball will hit the ground, cause an explosion to burrow, and continue descending. Finally, we need to tell Minecraft that we have a new entity. If this is your first time creating a custom entity, I suggest you read this tutorial by Jacek - it explains things quite nicely. A simplistic approach to patching the meteor: Code:Java public static void patch() { try { Method a = net.minecraft.server.EntityTypes.class.getDeclaredMethod("a", Class.class, String.class, int.class); a.setAccessible(true); a.invoke(a, EntityMeteor.class, "Meteor", 12); } catch (Exception ignored) { // Do some cleanup and error-handling here. }} And, of course, all that remains is spawning the meteor into our world. This will be familiar for anyone with any NMS experience. Code:Java CraftWorld handle = (CraftWorld) targetWorld;EntityMeteor meteor= new EntityMeteor(handle .getHandle());handle .getHandle().addEntity(meteor, SpawnReason.NATURAL);meteor.setPosition(x, y, z); And that's it! Enhancements Fiery explosions Depending on use case, you may also want the fire effect caused by regular fireballs. At the time of writing, there is no way to do this from the Bukkit API. However, there exists a simple method to suit our needs. Code:Java world.createExplosion( this, // This fireball locX, // X position of fireball locY, // Y position of fireball locZ, // Z position of fireball power, // Explosion power hasFire); // Flag for whether or not fire should be spawned.
Imagine using this to make meteor showers a type of Minecraft weather. If someone did that they may want to turn the explosions off and just leave the damage if that's possible so that the entire landscape doesn't get griefed. And as long as multiple meteors don't cause lag, it would be amazing.
one4me This code was pulled from my plugin Storm, which already has meteors. Meteor showers too are planned.
Thanks I also noticed some very strange occurrences with 1.3.1, which occur of either one of 2 things. 1. Once you apply the patch, it is never needed to be reapplied, not even if server restarts. 2. You do not require the patch to add an entity anymore. Because for quite a while I was forgetting to patch it, and my entities were will spawning. Maybe the patch makes them visible? That might explain it: unpatched entities are not visible, but still update positions etc. Because I almost never see the actual fireball of the meteor, I always see it's trail. Food for thought
Yeah if you don't update the class reference thing they are invisible. It's really odd that that happens though, it should just give loads of errors really :s It could be that it sends the wrong entity id to the client so there is no skin to use actually. Glad you like the tutorial anyway
That is another interesting thing: all my other NMS entities had to be updated for 1.3.1 (loads of errors), but I saw meteors still worked, so I was like "well, this works, I don't know why, so better update the patch as well".
I have a few suggestions: 1. No need to call a(1.0F, 1.0F); as this is called by super(world); 2. This: Code:java final Fireball fireball = (Fireball) this.getBukkitEntity(); fireball.getWorld().createExplosion(fireball.getLocation(), trailPower); gave me NPEs with a plugin listening for the EntityExplodeEvent, so I changed it to this: world.createExplosion(this, locX, locY, locZ, trailPower, true); 3. I don't need your API as I can just get the Fireball (bukkit entity) and use it's API. So this is what I have till now: Code:java package de.V10lator.MayaApocalypse.Entity; import net.minecraft.server.EntityFireball;import net.minecraft.server.MovingObjectPosition;import net.minecraft.server.World; // Based on: [url]http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/tutorial-custom-entities-meteor.93899/[/url]public class MayaMeteor extends EntityFireball{ private float speedMod = 1.1F; private float explosionRadius = 70F; private float trailPower = 10F; private float brightness = 10F; public MayaMeteor(World world) { super(world); // No need to call a(1.0F, 1.0F); as super(world); still does this. } @Override public void h_() { world.createExplosion(this, locX, locY, locZ, trailPower, true); motX *= speedMod; motY *= speedMod; motZ *= speedMod; super.h_(); } @Override public void a(MovingObjectPosition movingobjectposition) { world.createExplosion(this, locX, locY, locZ, explosionRadius, true); die(); } @Override public float c(float f) { return this.brightness; }} And this is how I spawn it: Code:java MayaMeteor mm = new MayaMeteor(nw); nw.addEntity(mm, SpawnReason.CUSTOM); Fireball meteor = (Fireball)mm.getBukkitEntity(); meteor.teleport(loc); meteor.setDirection(vec); meteor.setVelocity(vec); meteor.setBounce(false); meteor.setIsIncendiary(true); meteor.setYield(2 + rand.nextInt(14)); Please not that this was quick&dirty and I'll improve it more future later.
I was wondering when someone would catch on to that . Correct, a(1.0....) is not needed. Yes, you can also get the Bukkit entity to use its API. However, specific things must be noted: some of my API was meteor-specific, such as setSpeedModifier() etc. Additionally, I would advise greatly against Code (Text): meteor.setVelocity(vec); because when I used the same thing for meteor targetting, meteors will fail to spawn when you want them to. If you stay online for long enough, however, all meteors that haven't spawned yet will spawn at the same time, causing a massive lag spike that more often than not lags clients incredibly, even if damage isn't catastrophic.
Additionally, and I'm just guessing here, but does world.createExplosion() fire an explosion event? If not, your meteor won't play nice with WorldGuard and other people's buildings.
I think so (but I didn't check it... Will do that later). Well, that's not needed for me. In fact another plugin cancelling it wouldn't play nice with MayaApocalypse, but that's another story...
I checked it and the method does fire the events, too. But my meteors doesn't make the damage you showed in your screenshot. Well, that may have something to do with my method to stop the blocks from dropping their items. Icyene A bit off topic, but do you want to join the MayaApocalypse team (if beleg isn't against it) ?
1. Awesome! 2. That is because that was under ideal circumstances, and kinda happened because of a bug I patched . To do it now, add an int called 'lives', and in a(), check if lives is 0. If so, make the big boom, and broadcast message. If not, make an explosion of decent size, and --lives. The explosion will allow the meteor to progress further, then impact again, burrow, and so on until lives = 0, at which point it will explode. To make it go to bedrock, use a lives like 10-20, and set the burrow explosion to around 15 (I had it at 10 for the image, but it doesn't account for the direction / velocity its coming down at (a lives of 20 at velocity.multiply(3) isnt that same as a lives of 20 @ normal velocity; same applies for pitch). Sure! Thanks I've wondered how you did the floods without lag
Update: To add onto the "efficiency" part. The meteor posted above will kill your FPS for quite a few seconds... This is because it is exploding 20x a second. Adding this as your h_ makes it only do it 2.5 times/second, as well as deletes itself if it goes under height 1, or higher than 255. Code:Java @Override public void h_() { do { h_lock = !h_lock; if (h_lock) break; h_lock_2 = !h_lock_2; if (h_lock_2) break; h_lock_3 = !h_lock_3; if (h_lock_3) break; int locY = (int)(this.locY); if ((locY & 0xFFFFFF00) != 0) { //locY < 1 or locY > 255 this.dead = true; // Die silently return; } if ((locY & 0xFFFFFFE0) == 0) { // locY < 32 explode(); return; } world.createExplosion(this, locX, locY, locZ, trailPower, true); } while (false); super.h_(); } All the _locks are booleans set to false at declaration. Note I am masking locY quite alot, I have commented to explain what each does. Enjoy! This improved the meteor's efficiency greatly, actually allowing me to move my camera around pretty well while the meteor was flying.
Excellent tutorial. Not only is the subject material interesting, but it's also well explained and laid out. Just a small quibble - should you divide by 0.95 then? Like so: Code (Text): motX /= 0.95F; motY /= 0.95F; motZ /= 0.95F; Otherwise the end result would be 0.95 * 1.10 = 1.0526, which results in 5% more velocity in each direction.
If my math is correct 0.95 * 1.1 = 1.045 but anyway, wouldn't this be better: Code:java motX *= 0.91F;motY *= 0.91F;motZ *= 0.91F; Cause 0.91 * 1.1 = 1.001, so it still speeds up, but just by 0.1% - We could tell this is cause of gravity... or: Code:java motX *= 0.909F;motY *= 0.909F;motZ *= 0.909F; Then we have 0.909 * 1.1 = 0.999, so a little slowdown (0.1% again) - We could tell this is cause of the airs frictional resistance
Oh wow, how could I miss that one? It's not like I had a long, detailed tutorial to write. In any case, the value I (incorrectly) gave is actually approximately equal to 1 / 0.95, the inverse of the original multiplication. Yeah, just like that. But if you read the tutorial, you'll notice that it's 0.95 we want to reverse, not 1.1: Code (Text): motX *= 0.95F; motY *= 0.95F; motZ *= 0.95F; To reverse it: Code (Text): motX *= 1.052632F; motY *= 1.052632F; motZ *= 1.052632F; Where 1.052632 * 0.95 ≈ 1. And this time I doubled checked the math.
AlphaCoder that's because this method is obfuscated and this obfuscation changes with every minecraft release. If you aren't experienced enough to handle this then don't use it.
Would you have to go about things this way for custom entities, or could you also just code like you would for a client mod and use the @Override annotation a lot?
I just want to know how to see which class corresponds to which .java file after decompilation, for example, I want to see the class file that corresponds to EntityMinecart.java
They get decompiled respectively... i.e. EntityMinecart.class will get decompiled to EntityMinecart.java. With the exception of class files containing nested classes, of course. Those are designated by 'A$B' where 'B' is the nested class. Even then, most modern decompilers merges 'A' and 'B' together.
No, but as you figured out that h_() corresponds to EntityFireball, how do I figure out which class file corresponds to EntityMinecart?
I am confused as to what you are asking... h_() is a method, not a class... h_() is j_() in the latest versions, and is part of the base Entity class.
Ohh, my bad - I meant how does one figure out which method corresponds to which in the decompiled version via MCP as opposed to the class.

24 Problems Only People Who Have A Hard Time Falling Asleep Understand
Instead of counting sheep you're better off counting yourself out of ever sleeping again.
1. The dreaded leaky faucet.
Every drip is another minute of not sleeping since that is all your mind becomes fixated on.
2. The pestilence that is someone else snoring.
Not only is it annoying, but it's just another reminder that you are not sleeping anytime soon.
3. Hearing a car alarm in the middle of the night.
Now you're not only awake but worried that your car is broken into.
4. Being woken up righhhht when you were finally falling asleep.
Kids, pets, your S.O., all should know better but seem to just not care.
5. Having to invest in sleep masks and blackout curtains.
Because light is the enemy, and you will do anything you can to block it out.
6. Hearing the sound of lawnmowers on weekend mornings.
Chances are you have been sleeping solid for like two hours and then – MMMMMMRRRRROOOOOWWWWW. Ugh.
7. Hearing strange noises and worrying what they could be.
FYI, it's always the fridge.
8. The temptation that is starting a movie late at night.
Because if you start it you will finish it. And if you don't you will lay there thinking about what happened, then eventually get up and finish it.
9. Going on a trip and forgetting your ear plugs.
10. Stupid birds and their stupid chirping.
The early bird gets the worm and gets you pissed off.
11. Falling asleep in random places during the day.
Oh, now I can fall asleep no problem? Good joke, Mr. Sandman!
12. Fighting the urge to pee because you are so close to falling asleep.
But then giving in and getting up, only to start the process all over again.
13. Needing more than one alarm clock because you are constantly sleeping through them.
It's not your fault you didn't actually fall asleep until 4 a.m. Well, maybe it is, but still.
14. When someone gives unsolicited advice about how you can sleep better.
If it worked you would've heard about it by now, dontchathink?
15. Not sleeping with the A/C on because you know the hum will keep you up.
Basically, summer sucks.
17. Trying every position possible to get comfortable.
Inevitably waking up with a sore neck.
18. Trying different noise cancelling machines to no avail.
White noise, whale calls, rainforest. None work and mostly end up just making you want to pee.
19. Knowing that the best sleep is had when it's raining outside, but then being kept up by it hitting against the window.
20. Suddenly remembering you forgot to do something, like plug in your phone or lock the front door.
Then getting up and realizing you already did it.
21. Searching for that weird beep in the middle of the night.
Is it the smoke detector? Your watch? Your phone? ALIENS? I CAN'T SLEEP UNTIL I FIND YOU!
23. Knowing you have to get up early but your brain just won't shut off.
Because bedtime – according to your brain – is the perfect time to think about your own mortality.
24. Being super jealous of people who don't have this problem and are quick to tell you exactly that.
You can fall asleep anywhere and always sleep like a log? What, you want a cookie?

North Dakota Highway Patrol trooper survives scare when semi nearly collides with squad car
A North Dakota Highway Patrol trooper narrowly escaped being hit by a sliding semi truck this afternoon on Interstate 94 between Valley City and Jamestown.
Trooper Ramone Gumke said he was sitting in his patrol car shortly after 1 p.m., providing traffic control as a tow truck prepared to pull out a charter bus that had slid off eastbound I-94 near the Sanborn exit, when a jackknifing semi came along.

Mac Specs: 2011 MBP, 2008 iMac, iPhone 5S, iPad mini, 13" MBP and MacMini
I have an OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro 6G SSD as my boot drive (500GB). It's at firmware revision 502ABBF0. I got an email from OWC suggesting strongly that I update the firmware to the latest revision and with a link to their software to do that. Got the software, installed it as directed on a USB Stick and booted from it. Boot worked, got a desktop and a legal disclaimer, then the firmware update utility started and reported there was no SSD installed. Called OWC, was told to move the SSD to the Optical bay and repeat the update. Did that, still No SSD installed. Called OWC, got a technician who said that moving it to the optical bay was useless, so I moved it back to the original location and tried again. Still no luck.
I then booted from the USB stick and after the legal disclaimer, exited the firmware update program to the desktop, but there were no folders, no menus, no access to anything (skinny Linux, I suppose). Just on a lark, I double-tapped on the desktop and a new folder appeared. When I opened the new folder, I had access to the file structure, where I found the SSD was mounted! So much for the utility not finding an SSD... So I tried unmounting the SSD and re-running the update utility with the exact same results. No SSD found (even though it mounted). Called OWC again, got another technician, went through the drill and history and ended up nowhere. He again emphasized that if I wanted to upgrade to Mavericks, I REALLY, REALLY needed the firmware updated. He had me wait online while he passed what I had found about the SSD being mounted to the "Programmers" and when he returned he indicated that they had no fix. He offered that if they didn't get it fixed, they would send me a new SSD, with the firmware at the right level, and I could send back the older one. Today I tried OWC again, got a tech on their chat system, went through the drill, got nowhere, but she indicated that they would NOT replace the drive, that I could send it to them to update and return to me. When I complained that to do that would leave me with no machine for whatever time they took, she refused to send out a replacement and let me return the old one. If I simply mount the USB Stick, it looks like it's a version of Ubuntu without any of the typical tools for Ubuntu. It boots to the one legal disclaimer and then the utility, nothing else seems to be available. Anybody else have this setup? Anybody get the firmware update to run?Anybody got any ideas how to get the update on my SSD? It's a MBP 8,3, early 2011 17". Run latest Mountain Lion version. I still have the USB stick with the OWC Linux and updater software, it still doesn't detect the SSD. I could just buy a new SSD, but thought that before I took that route I'd ask here. One thing for sure, if I buy a new one it definitely isn't coming from OWC. |

Now I understand your other post a bit better. Make sure you backup everything on that SSD before you send it back to OWC. That drive may be heading south and instead of OWC updating the firmware, they may just replace it.

Spielberg's Dreamworks company is owned by Paramount Pictures and has directed Cruise in Minority Report and War of the Worlds.
Spielberg also owns the talent firm Creative Artists Agency (CAA), which represents Cruise.
When the chairman of Viacom--Paramount's parent company--Sumner Redstone--announced the studios would not be renewing Cruise's 14-year production deal due to his "recent conduct," Internet gossips claimed Spielberg was aware of the decision.
However, his spokesman Marvin Levy tells the New York Daily News, "Steven had no advance knowledge of Sumner Redstone's position. The story broke when Steven was on an airplane. He found out when the plane landed."
Spielberg's producing partner Kathleen Kennedy has lashed out at reports the director was unhappy with Cruise's behavior during the War of the Worlds publicity campaign last year, when he indulged in public displays of affection with fiancée Katie Holmes on red carpets all over the world.
Kennedy says, "It's not true. Tom was a consummate professional. He's done nothing wrong."

Sen. Berger sits down with teachers in unexpected pow-wow on eve of House budget reveal
Posted By Lindsay Wagner On June 10, 2014 @ 6:15 am In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
Last night's Moral Monday demonstrations [1] took an unexpected turn when Senate leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) decided to sit down with teachers, who were staked out in front of his office late last night, to debate some of the education policies he has put forward.
WUNC Education Reporter Dave Dewitt has a great story [2]about how the night went off script and the debate that took place:
But here's where script took an unexpected turn. Just a few seconds later, Senator Berger came around the corner, pulled some couches into a circle, and offered to have a discussion.
And that's exactly what they did. For more than an hour and a half, Berger and the protesters discussed education policy and the challenges facing teachers. There were some heated moments, and some passionate disagreements.
For the most part, all parties were respectful. The protestors whittled their list to three items they wanted addressed: they wanted tenure back; they wanted teacher assistants restored; and they wanted Berger to hold a series of public meetings on education. At the end, Berger committed to nothing more than another conversation the next day to consider further meetings.
And instead of being led out in handcuffs, the 15 protesters walked out the front of the building, nodding to Capitol Police officers, to meet their supporters.
Proffitt spoke first: "So we sat down and we had a good conversation, which to my understanding this is the first time this has happened in the last couple of years. So I think this represents a win for the movement because I think we put enough pressure on them that they realized they had to have a conversation."
When he was done, Bryan Proffitt stepped behind the crowd and tried to gather himself. Someone handed him a bottle of water and the sweater he thought he had lost, and he finally took a deep breath.
He admitted the night had not gone like he thought it would.
"Talk is cheap," he said." There needs to be a real opening. But if there's an opening, we'll take it. But if it means the threat of arrest, if that means risking arrest again, and putting negative pressure on them again, then we'll be back."

Hot answers tagged israel
Joseph's sons were Ephraim and Manasseh,
Gen. 41:51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: "For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father's house."
Gen. 41:52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim: "For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction."
These became, in a sense, Jacob's sons:
Gen. ...
When the Tanakh uses different names for the same individual, it sometimes reflects different aspects of the subject. Consider the different names of God, which reflect aspects like judgment or mercy or nurturing. Yaakov (Jacob), too, has two names, so it's worth looking at how they're used.
This explanation, which in turn cites this one, offers the ...
This is just by way of postscript and supplement to a (good!) answer already provided.
The lists of tribes given in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament typically are as @Niobius describes: Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, replace both Joseph and Levi, most obviously in the tribal settlements during the "conquests" of Joshua/Judges. This is also how they ...
When scripture refers to Yehuda ("Judah") and Yisra'el ("Israel") in the same verse, it is often because it is not referring to individual tribes (of which Yehuda was one), but rather, the two kingdoms into which the people of Yisra'el were split during the reign of King Rechav'am ("Rehoboam"), the son of King Shlomo ("Solomon").
This fracture was a ...
Gen 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore;
God promised Abraham that his descendants would be as the sand of the sea, and as the stars of heaven. These two metaphors are in direct apposition to each other, and explain each other. The ...
...I am the Lord, and I will
bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will
deliver you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an
outstretched arm, and with great judgments; and I will take you to Me
for a people, and I will be to you a God; and ye shall know that I am
the Lord your God, who brought you out from under ...
Addressing the question in the title:
The Hebrew phrase b'nei Yisrael refers to Jews (the sons of Jacob and all their descendants -- plus converts even though they technically aren't sons of Jacob). You usually see it in this form -- Israel, not Jacob. The only Tanakh uses of b'nei Yaakov (Jacob) I can think of are either referring to his sons ...
Here is the list of 12 tribes of Israel from Genesis, Numbers and Revelation:
Genesis 29-30 Numbers 1 Revelation 7
Reuben Reuben Reuben
Simeon Simeon Simeon
Levi Levi
Judah Judah Judah
Dan Dan
Naphtali Naphtali Naphtali
Gad Gad ...
By way of supplementing and extending the answers already provided for this question:
As noted elsewhere in this Q&A, the kingdom that was united under the thrones of Saul, David, and Solomon, split in the aftermath of Solomon's reign into distinct "nations": one in the north, and one in the south (narrated in 1 Kings 12). When the two designations ...
Rashi says that the angel didn't change his name, only said that a name change would be coming. In trying to understand why he says that, I found an interesting, subtle difference in the text in the two passages.
Rashi's commentary
Rashi on 32:29 says (emphasis mine):
no… Jacob: It shall no longer be said that the blessings came to you through ...
Meaning of κόκκῳ σινάπεως
This is more or less just some additional information, Mike's answer is good. According to the IVP NT Commentary series:
Scholars still dispute what plant is meant by the "mustard seed."
Nevertheless, by no conjecture is it the smallest of all seeds that
Jesus' listeners could have known (the orchid seed is smaller); the
It may likely grow into the Sinapis Nigra (Black Mustard). It can grow to eight feet tall, so it could actually be literally used by small birds to nest on its branches. However parables are not to be taken so literally and the image may be a slight exaggeration as part in parcel with the point of the passage.
In the OT mustard is not mentioned. Yet ...
The phenomenon described in II Kings 3:20-23 is well known in the area. Rain can fall in the higher areas such as Edom (now Jordan) or in the Judean hills while down in the Jordan valley on either side of the river, the sky is clear and sunny. When this happens, the wadis (gulleys) that drain the uplands erupt suddenly in flash floods that endanger ...
Although Niobius' answer is good, it misses a bit of the point.
G-d gives a childless Avram two metaphors to understand (a) that he would have a lot of progeny, and (b) that they had both tremendous potential to achieve great heights and also to suffer great lows.
First, let me give you a fascinating look into how the Jewish Midrashic tales from the Torah ...
In Gen 15:5 God promises Avram that his seed shall be as numerous as the stars. It doesn't say "his seed living at any one time"; the straightforward reading is that it means all of them. The 603,550 men counted in the desert census (Num 1:46) are from but one generation. Since descendants of Avraham continue to be born to this day, we have not yet ...
Using the reference at hand: JPS Torah Commentary on Deut, page 273, note on the verse:
Mekelburg and some modern commentators suggest reading ho-`oniyyot
as "in mourning, in a lamentful condition." They understand
`oniyyot as `anniyyot, an abstract plural of `anniyah, 'mourning, lamenting'.
The footnote, in turn, reads:
Meklenburg; NEB; Mayes: ...
Shlomo ("Solomon"), the son of David, continued to go whoring after gods other than YHVH (1 Kings 11:1-10). This was exacerbated by his numerous foreign wives of whom God warned Shlomo that they would cause him to go astray and commit idolatry.
Consequently, YHVH told Shlomo that he would rend the kingdom from him, except that He would leave one tribe (the ...
The plain meaning of why the Torah suddenly calls Yaakov by his alternate name Yisrael again instead of writing "the time approached for Yaakov to die," (which would have been the natural sequence to the line: "Yaakov lived in the land of Egypt for seventeen years") is that ever since he had been given the additional name the Torah uses both names ...
The simple answer is yes to your question, they are the same. Nebuchadnezzar attacked Jerusalem 3 times and he took captives when he did so. God also promised to keep the captives safe and prosper them. This is Nebuchadnezzar the second who reigned from 605 BC – 562 BC, while Nebuchadnezzar the first reigned from 1126–1103 BC. So there isn't a son with the ...
They are certainly referring to the same individual.
The name is the same
Briefly addressing this point. The name for 'Nebuchadnezzar' is spelled a variety of ways in Hebrew, sometimes ending with 'rezzar', but even within the book of Jeremiah we find alternate spellings:
נבוכדראצור: Jeremiah (1)
נבוכדראצר: Jeremiah (28), and Ezekiel (4)
First of all, Genesis 49:16 says that Dan will provide justice for Israel and be a serpent along the roadside, a viper that will bite at the horses heel. All this means is, that Dan will protect Israel from those who will attempt to do harm to Israel.
It's funny, that when people see the word serpent they immediately refer to it as being something evil. ...
I think this parable means something totally different. A previous parable about the Parable of the Sower explains the 'birds' as the evil ones (Matt 13:19). Idioms in the Bible are consistent. Therefore, the mustard seeds starts in faith then something happens (false teaching - birds being evil ones, false preaching) and it becomes something that it was not ...
There are many ways to determine the quantity of occurrences of a particular phrase in the Bible. The way I often do it is:
Go to www.blueletterbible.org.
You will see a box under "Bible Dictionary/ Search."
Within quotes, type in the word or phrase you would like to search for. For example: "God of Israel." This will yield results for that exact phrase.
The Hebrew word ישׂראל iysra'el; comes from two root words. The first is שׂרה sara,'to prevail' or have dominion. The second is אל 'el usually translated as God.
The idea is that the name reflects the wrestling that Jacob had with God. The only question before us is the 'prevailing' and 'wrestling unto prevail' God's over Jacob or Jacob's over God? ...
This answer offers a subtle but significant adjustment to Joseph's helpful offering.
OP's main question is:
Why is the masculine pronoun "him" used to describe Israel in this passage?
The central answer to this question is that "Israel" is always "masculine, singular" in biblical Hebrew. One of the basic studies of this phenomenon is by J.J. Schmitt, ...
Verse 10 starts a paragraph in the Hebrew, and the following verse (v. 11) mentions "Jacob" in parallel... That is, Israel = Jacob, which is a masculine name. So the context of verses 10-11 refers to the faithful remnant of Israelites in both the northern and southern kingdoms (="Jacob"), who will be reestablished through the New Covenant (Jer 31:31).
In ...
Many, including myself, have been perplexed by the apparent omission of the tribe of Dan from the list of "all" the tribes of Israel in Revelation 7:5-8. This has led to much speculation in an attempt to explain this strange occurrence. A possible explanation alluded to in the Pulpit Commentary is that Dan was omitted due to a scribal error.
Looking at the ...
We may look first to the first tribe mentioned in the list of Revelation, which is the Tribe of Judah. this is interesting because Reuben should have been first, but we will remember from Hebrew history that Reuben lost his position of first because of his gross immortality and thus it was given to Judah.
Genesis 49:8-10:
(8) Judah, thou art he whom ...
After Israel repeatedly sinned, why is it said, "He has not observed iniquity in Jacob" (Num 23:21)?
The Masoretic translation makes the verse easier to understand:
'None have beheld iniquity in Jacob,
Neither hath one seen perverseness in Israel'
'perverseness' can alternatively be translated as 'calamity' - so Rabbi Hertz
Then we read: Because there are no gross-injustice (iniquity) in Israel God remains on their side and visit no calamities on them.
Then the king of Moab took his oldest son, who would have been the next king, and sacrificed him as a burnt offering on the wall. So there was great anger against Israel, and the Israelites withdrew and returned to their own land. (2 Kings 3:27, NLT)
I'd interpret this as saying that the king sacrificed his son which then fuelled the rage of the ...

"We have been extremely pleased with the service you have given us over the years and consider it to have been excellent value for money." Mrs C A – Whitchurch |
Payslips and employment contract |
As the employer you must provide your employee with a payslip every time you pay them. The payslip must show their gross wage, the tax and NI deductions made on their behalf, as well as their net wage. Your employee should keep their payslips in a safe place, as they act as proof of earnings when applying for a loan or a mortgage. When you subscribe to Stafftax we send out payslips, monthly or weekly as required, showing all correct deductions. You must also provide your employee with either an employment contract or a statement of the terms and conditions of their employment within two months of their starting date. The document should include all terms and conditions that you have agreed upon, including the start date, hours of work, starting salary (which should specify gross or net), holiday entitlement etc. It should also include your agreement to operate PAYE on your employee's behalf. The contract might also include a detailed description of your employee's duties, house rules and disciplinary procedures and any other benefits to which you may make available to your employee (e.g. use of a car or re-imbursement of motoring costs if they use their own vehicle for work). The contract of employment is a legally binding agreement and obliges both you and your employee to keep to the terms of employment spelled out in it. These terms can of course be changed at any time by mutual agreement. A standard form of contract is available from Stafftax when you subscribe to our services, and it can be modified to fit the circumstances specific to your particular requirements. If you need help with making changes to the contract don't forget to contact our legal support team, who will be happy to help. It is your legal responsibility, not your employee's, to ensure that a PAYE scheme is set up and that your employee's income tax and NICs are paid when due. Non-compliance is a criminal offence and may result in a substantial fine. |
employment law
Basic document checks |
According to the Asylum and Immigration Act 2006 all UK employers have a legal duty to make basic document checks on each person they intend to employ in order to establish that they have a right to work in the UK and are here legally. |

"I absolutely loved my apartment! It was wonderful to have my own room and our apartment was in a great location."
Participant in Chengdu, China
China as a whole is in rapid evolution with the construction of high-rise office and apartment buildings visible everywhere. With a population of 1.3 billion, China has an enormous consumer base which has caught the attention of businesses around the world. The transformation of its social, political, and economic dimensions has also brought a new openness and interest in foreigners. Since English is a required course in schools for children over 12, you will find that many Chinese are interested in practicing their English and showing you their city and country. This is particularly true in Chengdu where Westerners, while not entirely uncommon, are still somewhat of a novelty.

The final frontier… This is the last set of WPF features that I want to cover before moving into a series of posts on Windows Workflow Foundation. Both animation and 3D are large areas when examined individually. In this post I would like to cover them both generally. Mostly, I will point out a number of great resources that you can use to develop skills in these areas.
When working with animations in WPF, you should begin by making sure to have a good understanding of DependencyProperties. It is these properties that WPF supports animation for. As mentioned before, a good resource for learning about DependencyProperties and Animation is Charles Petzold's book. He has thorough explanations of both of these topics.
To begin with, WPF uses a Storyboard to represent a hierarchical organization of animations. This sort of structure obviously lends itself well to Xaml and makes it possible to compose increasingly complex animations out of simpler pieces. A typical animation has a BeginStoryboard element at its root and consists of one or more children:
<Storyboard TargetProperty="Opacity">
<DoubleAnimation From="1"
Duration="0:0:1" />
In the above example we are animating the opacity property of some element from 1 to 0 over the course of one second. But what object is having its Opacity animated and what triggers the animation to begin? Observe the Xaml in its proper context:
<Button Height="40" Width="125">
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Button.Click">
Now it should be clear that we are causing a button to fade out whenever it is clicked. This sample demonstrates an animation being triggered by a RoutedEvent. They can also be embedded in a Style and triggered based on the value of any DependencyProperty.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type RadioButton}">
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<RadioButton Height="40" Width="125"/>
This causes the animation to run whenever the IsChecked property of any radio button "enters" the true state. You can also use Trigger.ExitActions to specify an animation for a move "from" the true state. Notice that the animation is called a DoubleAnimation. "Double" refers to the type of the property being animated. WPF defines animation classes for 22 different types (ColorAnimation, VectorAnimation, PointAnimation, etc). There are many properties on the basic animation classes that allow the developer more fine grained control over how animation occurs. These properties include: AccelerationRatio, DecelerationRatio, SpeedRatio and RepeatBehavior among several others. In addition to these basic animations, the types Double, Matrix and Point have coresponding AnimationUsingPath classes that allow the developer to use a Path to control the animated values. If either of these scenarios does not provide enough control for you, all 22 types have matching AnimationUsingKeyFrames classes which offer varying support for discrete, linear and spline based interpolation. Together, this set of classes provides quite a bit of animation power.
If you are interested in animation, then I would recommend checking out two blogs in particular:
Charles Petzold (search through the archives)
You will also find several examples of 3D in these blogs as well. Speaking of 3D, I would like to note that the animation classes were designed to provide a consistent animation framework regardless of whether the item being animated is 2D or 3D.
If you are interested in working with WPF's 3D features, there are a few resources you should know about. Windows Presentation Foundation Unleashed has an extensive chapter on 3D written by Daniel Lehenbauer. This is probably the best resource on WPF 3D currently in print. If you can hold out for a while, Petzold is planning on releasing an entire book devoted to WPF 3D. Both of the blogs mentioned above have some good 3D examples, but you'll also want to check these sites:

3D Tutorial
The first thing you will want to know about 3D in WPF is that all 3D content must exist within a Viewport3D. You'll want to put a camera in that scene. The WPF offers two main options: PerspectiveCamera and OrthographicCamera. Go here for a discussion of these two choices. Of course, if you want to see anything, you will need a light: AmbientLight and/or DirectionalLight.
<PerspectiveCamera FarPlaneDistance="20"
FieldOfView="45" />
<DirectionalLight Color="White"
Direction="-3,-4,-5" />
Positions="-1 -1 0 1 -1 0 -1 1 0 1 1 0"
Normals="0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1"
TextureCoordinates="0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0"
TriangleIndices="0 1 2 1 3 2" />
<SolidColorBrush Color="Blue"/>
Of course, you have to add your own 3D content. The above demonstrates a very simple mesh: a plane. There is a lot of information to be covered regarding what is happening in this simple example, but I don't have time to go into it all here. The main thing I want to talk about is material. If you have worked with 3D before, you know that every 3D object must be covered with some sort of material. The above example uses a DiffuseMaterial, but WPF also offers EmmisiveMaterial and SpecularMaterial for your use. Here's the really cool thing about materials: As you can see above, the material architecture takes advantage of the same Brush system that the rest of WPF uses. This means that you can pretty much put anything on the surface of a 3D object, including 2D UI components. With this recently released solution, you can even make all of the 2D UI completely interactive! Just don't get carried way.
