Digital (and) creativity
I don't believe in the myth-making around creativity as some spark of genius, some innate talent or something that appears out of a stroke of inspiration. That much is clear.
I also don't believe in the myth-making around "digital" — especially as some still insist on using the word, as a marker of separation from the "physical" (or IRL as we web-types call it).
As Erica pointed out in a comment on my last post, creativity is work too.
"Digital" has transformed work and we are all experiencing that change. Don't get me wrong. Work, in essence, remains about creating or extracting value for stakeholders, almost always with too few resources and too little time, while working with people we may not always like.
But work is no longer about a place, or the time one clocks in and out, or even the tools we use. That is the "digital" difference. Including the difference made to creativity and its outcomes.
Creativity is not organic. Creativity is no longer solitary.
It is how we rip, mix, burn.
Sometimes it is just about hanging out, messing around, geeking out.
The creative folk fluent in "the web" are collaborating on cinematic storytelling, iterating works of literature. Even creating music across space and Earth. No really!
Creativity is collaboration, iteration, creation.
Enabled by the web.
The web is open all hours; out of our control; and has its own rules, relationships, frictions and fall-outs, and its own language. But most usefully the web is frictionless, scalable and, well, cheap.
Collaboration is creation. Iterative is creative.
Suddenly it doesn't look like work at all!
(This post is one-sided. Creative businesses have consumers too. And the relationship between the creative business and its consumer has been completely rewritten by the web. More on that after I return from Paris.)
Creative process aka why Jonathan Ive bothered me a bit
Jonathan Ive was at Design Museum a few days ago, as some of you may know. I was bothered by some things he said. Saying "I still haven't lost the wonder for the creative process.." is beautiful and emotive. Saying "…the way it comes from nothing." not so much. He talked about how on a given day at 3pm you have nothing, then at 5pm you have an idea.
Much as many of us are now full paid-up (and how!) members of the Apple fan club, this struck me as odd.
This is the sort of stuff that feeds into the myth of creativity, creativity as a "genius" thing, rather than a "process" thing; that encourages people to continue in the unawareness that even where there is a pretty front-end,there is likely a complex, messy back-end that enables that pretty front-end; that leads to many people — including customers of creative products and services — to expect "creativity on tap".
I run a creative business, and all this bothers me.
I find that some people expect "creativity on tap" because they may have previously experienced a "creative" person ideating in real time, while they explained their problem. They confuse the process of ideation with what it takes to come up with that one perfect creative solution that will appeal to the creative and the commercial alike. The ideation, I am afraid, does not take place in a vacuum.
I also think that many people simply do not understand the creative process. The trope that creativity is an inborn talent or a "genius" element is perpetuated both by creatives and non-creatives alike, and sometimes, just sometimes, it comes back to bite us. Creativity, that can be scaled, that is sustainable and that does not run out of juice, is a process. When we create a new collection in our jewellery business, it can take us anywhere from 12months to 18months before we are anywhere close to saying "right, we are happy putting this out there!". The effort that goes into the research, the brainstorming, the iterations, the prototyping that go into creating every single piece is not effort that can be overstated.
And last but not the least, people expect pretty things — outcomes of creativity are often expected to be pretty when it is equally true that creative problem-solving in complex organisations isn't really a pretty process or a pretty outcome — to have pretty, magical back-ends. When people think, for instance, couture, they think Vogue magazine, fancy photoshoots, Fashion Week and models, who wear pretty stuff and feature in Tatler magazine's party pages. They do not think months of toil, ideation, whittling down of perfectly good ideas, actual design process, sourcing of materials, trial and error, fitting, discarding of entire pieces, restarting, just the whole painful process of creation.
I do not believe in making or keeping the creative process mystical or mythical. If the product of that process is pretty — or meaningful in any other way — to the customer, most customers want to know more about what went into making it. The overused term "storytelling" is what customers often want. My experience is when they do understand what went into creating the product they are so taken by, they respect it more, they question the price tag far less and they "own" it. There is no greater reward for a creative person than a customer, who internalises the creative idea and the process so profoundly she owns it. Jonathan Ive and his team's creativity has brought us to that point of emotional ownership, but as he said 99% of us will never look inside our iDevices where most of the magic lies.
More's the pity.
What next for design? — Jonathan Ive at the Design Museum
Jonathan Ive was the last guest in Design Museum's 25th anniversary series of talks. Waiting for my friend to arrive, I stood outside the museum celebrity-watching as leading British designers steadily streamed in. The Conrans, Paul Smith, Ron Arad, and I think I spotted Anya Hindmarch.
Here are some quotes and insights from the evening.
On how objects embody our values, our identities
Talking of his first experience with a Mac near the end of his Design school education, where he had had frustrating experiences with the PC which he blamed on his technical ineptitude, Ive said:
Through the object, that I was sat in front (of), I had a very clear sense of the people that made it. I had a clear sense of their values, their preoccupations, the things they cared about, the reasons they made it. Vicarious communication via the object, I had a really clear sense of this company in California, that I didn't know anything about. And that had never happened to me before. This was the beginning of the realisation that what we make completely testifies to who we are.
On the human condition, the imperative to create something (when asked how a company making desktop products went on to making things for our pockets)
Ive opened with a mention of the Apple Watch, a product, he said, you cannot buy yet. He said, "The parallels with what happened with the technology of timekeeping and what we are facing is really quite uncanny. .. I think it's part of our human condition." He later added, "And that is exactly what happened. It was a multi-century transition. From the clock tower to something that ended up eventually on your wrist. What we are doing has some robust historical precedence."
There is this natural part of our condition. Which is when you see potent, phenomenal technology, there is somehow, I think, a desire to do a few things. You typically want to make it smaller. That always happens. The first thing you do is huge and you put wheels on it and drive around and stuff. Or you make it small, Or you make it cheaper. And therefore obviously more accessible. Then you make it better, more reliable.
On form and materials (discussing the merits of plastic and glass)
You cannot separate form from materials.
On the inseparability of making and designing (and hat-tipping Terence Conran)
Marc Newson wouldn't be a great designer if he weren't also a great maker.
On the creative process, its fragility, its evolution to being exclusive to being something that involves lots of people
Ive talked about the wonder of having nothing to having an idea to having a product.
I still haven't lost the wonder for the creative process.. and the way it comes from nothing. … The best ideas .. start with conversations. If it is a big idea, you can distill the idea into a few sentences. I still think it is a very fragile process. Sentences are sometimes easier to mess up than an object.
Over the years one of the things i have had to learn a lot about is .. listening very very carefully.
A small change right at the beginning defines an entirely different product.
Part of the process is .. it always starts with a conversation and a thought. I don't know anybody who has just had an idea and could stand up in front of a group of people like you and try and explain this vague thought. So it tends to be exclusive and fragile.
One of the things I have discovered over the years is that when you make the very first physical manifestation of what the idea was, it changes. It is the most profound shift in the entire process. Because one, it is not exclusive anymore, it is not so open to interpretation, it is there and includes a lot of people."
On the motivation behind design, respect and caring
A lot of it starts with motivation. … our goal is not to make money. It's much harder for good design to come out of an organisation and to come from that as a driving force. Our goal is to desperately try to make the best product we can.
We are not naive. We trust that if we are successful and we make good products that people will like them.. and we trust that if people like them they will buy them. And we have figured out operationally we are effective and we know what we are doing so we will make money. But we know it is a consequence.
There are many decisions we make which may not make fiscal sense. Which is why the motivation I described is so important. And it can cost a lot more to make it the way we want to make it. And that cant justify that extraordinary additional amount of money to make it other than it is the right thing to do. It's made better. There is an integrity there.
I really truly believe that people can sense care. And in the same way they can sense carelessness.
And I think this is about the respect we have for each other. If you give me something, and if you expect me to buy something, and all I can sense is carelessness, it is personally offensive.
On the idea that "good design lasts" and rapid obsolescence of objects now
They can not last so long because they are used, multiple hours of every day, they cannot last as long as you wish they did, because the technology relative to the technology that is now available is so much more compelling.
That is why we all find there is a certain delight in what tend to be singular function objects.
On how design has changed since Ive was a student
Ive once again referred to Terence Conran's mantra about making being essential to design.
.. in design schools, workshops are expensive, computers are cheaper. .. It is just tragic that you spend four years of your life studying the design of three dimensional objects and not making them.
How on earth do you do that if what we are responsible to produce is a three dimensional object?
He talked about the physicality of objects, and how powerful devices now are in isolation and when connected, and what it means for designers.
In some ways .. the expectation that the contribution the object can make is more important than ever. Somehow for us as physical beings it is really important that the physical object is as compelling as possible. .. places a great demand on those skills to truly understand the physical world, to truly understand the nature of materials.
On copying by competitors and others
Ive discussed how a design studio plays with and develops ideas over extended periods of time, never knowing quite which one will work.
But once you have got a proof of concept "it works", and then somebody.. it is not copying, it is theft. They stole our time. Time we could have had with our families.
"Do you think when somebody copies what you do it is flattery?". No.
On being innovative
You know this George Bernard Shaw quote. .. it's a beautiful thing to say "to do something truly innovative does require you reject reason".
The conversation and the questions from the audience continued for just over an hour. A lot of thought-provoking points made. Time well-spent.
And one more thing…
Watching The Watch
I think an awful lot about wrists.
I watch the spans of wrists and their thickness. I watch the sizes of things people wear, which require sliding over their hands (in which case I also watch their hands) and things, which can be strapped on to wrists.
It is the (jewellery) business, you see.
Cuffs that must be open enough to be slid sideways on to the wrists but not open so big that they slide off unnoticed by the wearer. If a closed bracelet, then how much circumference of wrist should we design for, so that it doesn't hang off smaller wrists and yet not too tight for bigger wrists? Oddly enough hardly any anthropometric data is available on wrists in the public domain. But Apple chaps researched watchmaking and I am sure somewhere they found this information.
No matter what, the new Apple Watch face (not case, the face) at 38mm for small and 42mm for large is just too big. For dainty wrists, at least.
Steel and gold are not really imaginative choices for "fashion", and pairing them with coloured rubber straps is meh. Not sure whom Apple visualises as their customer but it cannot have been many who live beyond Silicon Valley, which, let's face it, is hardly the mecca for fashion. The "modularity" of swapping wrist bands is funky but not necessarily fashionable. No wonder despite bringing fabulous fashion editors — the grand dame Suzy Menkes and Vogue UK's editor Alexandra Shulman — to California, the commentary is at best lukewarm. As a friend pointed out, it takes chutzpah to ask these editors to fly all the way — and to piss them off — just as they are coming off New York Fashion Week and going to London Fashion Week, which are more crucial to their businesses than the latest gadget.
And there was no Angela (Ahrendts) on stage, which hasn't won Apple any fans.
Back to wrists. If I want to strap an iPod Nano to my wrist, I will go a step further and buy a Panerai or U-boat or some similar shit. If I want to buy a well-engineered watch, for its engineering, the choices are many.
I have never been able to get excited about digital watches. Nor do I find the prospect of wrist-gazing — is it an upgrade on navel gazing? I wonder! — very exciting. To me, watches are a thing of beauty and precision engineering, and conversation starters. They also show time, and there are plenty of people left on the planet, who can tell the time by looking at watch hands rather than read the numbers off a display, I find.
Jonathan Ive reportedly collects Patek Philippe. Which, as we all know, you "merely look after for the next generation".
And by "next generation", Patek doesn't mean the next Apple product announcement.
The flip side. Naturally.
"My prediction is this will bomb", said a friend, who is not technology-phobic, nor a random naysayer or Apple-hater.
For what it is worth, and regardless of the Apple Watch's low fashion cred, worse style cred, I don't think it will.
It is one of the first to risk its high profile brand and its loyal following by creating a near-fashionable wearable technology product. I mean, one look at Google Glass and the Apple Watch suddenly looks quite low-key, wearable.
But more to the point, Apple leverages its existing platform, to begin with, with a health app. Monitoring one's heart rate and activity is non-intrusively built in and well, with its chunky appearance, the Apple Watch looks comfortably much like the Polar heart rate monitors that some of us are used to wearing.
I also like the reinvention of some known-knowns, as it were. For instance, the morphing of the watch crown into a digital crown. Those, who don't wear watches but have experienced the click-wheel (yes, that), will not find it alien. Those, who do wear watches, are already used to twiddling with it and may be delighted with the new uses it can be put to. Then there is the finger movement driven control of things that many iPhone and MacBook users are used to, which has been incorporated into the watch as the tap and the press.
Humans don't necessarily interact with words alone. The ability to send a pulse to someone you are thinking of is cute (if somewhat limiting because that someone must also own an Apple Watch!). And ironic because one will likely only ever want to send a "pulse" to someone, who makes us skip one. The being is in the not-being (to wax philosophical a bit).
As a platform, the Apple Watch has enormous potential. Between the Apple ecosystem and the possibilities of haptics.
So what about it then?
It is an Apple. It tempts. Sometimes it succeeds.
With my tinkerer hat on, I am curious to buy it and play with it. With my jeweller hat on, I will likely restrict its wearing to my walks and Pilates outings and possibly weekends.
I still maintain that 38mm is too big for my wrist. Then again as enormous watches go, $349 (or whatever it will sell for in the UK) isn't going to buy me a Breitling.
For now I am watching the Watch.

Japan External Trade Organization Names New Chairman/CEO; Mr. Osamu Watanabe Appointed to Oversee Japan's Global Trade And Investment Organization.
CHICAGO -- Today in Tokyo, Mr. Osamu Watanabe was appointed by Prime Minister Koizumi to the position of Chairman and CEO of the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO). Mr. Watanabe's appointment was approved by the Prime Minister's Cabinet effective immediately. Mr. Watanabe succeeds Mr. Noboru Hatakeyama. Mr. Hatakeyama had spent part of the 1970s as Executive Director at JETRO Chicago and maintains very close business and personal ties to the Chicagoland community.Before this appointment, Mr. Watanabe served as a member of the Prime Minister Koizumi's Task Force on Foreign Relations of Japan since September 2001.

Mr. Watanabe has held a number of high-ranking positions, including MITI's Administrative Vice-Minister in 1997, which is the highest ranking appointment for a career MITI official.
Mr. Watanabe has served as the head of the JETRO New York office before being appointed in June 1985 as Director of the Americas and Oceania Division, International Trade Policy Bureau, and was intensely involved with Japan-U.S. trade policy issues. His appointment comes at a time when positive Japan-U.S. trade relations have been recognized by both countries as essential to the improvement of the global economy. Mr. Watanabe has broad knowledge of business globalization and the Japan-U.S. bilateral economic relationship.
Mr. Tomoharu Washio, Chief Executive Director of JETRO Chicago, commented, "The appointment of Mr. Watanabe as JETRO Chairman and CEO demonstrates the importance of JETRO as a catalyst for business change and revitalization of Japan's economy, which will accelerate the focus on American business development and investment in the Japanese market."
The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) is the official trade organization for Japan. JETRO is a nonprofit, Japanese government-supported organization dedicated to promoting mutually beneficial trade and economic relationships between Japan and other nations.

May 21-- The primary actions taken at the May meeting of the Montgomery County school board Monday night regarded personnel changes.
School Superintendent Randy Rodgers says the board approved hiring of a school counselor from Long County High School, Malinda Meadows, to succeed Carla Coleman who is moving to Vidalia High School.
It also reassigned elementary school assistant principal Melanie McLemore to head the CTAE (vocational education) and curriculum programs at the high school to replace Rhonda Stone who is moving to Toombs County High School.
The board hired substitute teachers Hallie Webb and Wendy Coleman and approved resignations from Patricia Dobbins and Christine Spivey.
According to Rodgers, Mrs. Dobbins has been employed by the school system for more than 50 years and has most recently been a para-pro at the elementary school.

The Jackson County Planning Department will host a meeting at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 5 at Cullowhee Valley School to gather input from residents about the future development of the area.
Jackson County Planner Gerald Green said the department is seeking the opinions of residents and business owners as it moves forward with the development of the Cullowhee Community Plan.
The meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. with an informal question and answer session. The formal program will begin at 6 p.m. with an opportunity for attendees to provide their thoughts regarding the future development of Cullowhee.
There is one winter visitor to our North Carolina Mountains that is probably happy the Blue Ridge Parkway is closed and is not burgeoning with sightseers and thrill-seekers like it is the rest of the year. That visitor would be Aquila chrysaetos canadensis, the North American golden eagle. There is certainly a mystique about this bird, North America's largest raptor. It is fairly common out West and is thought of as a bird of wide-open areas. But there is a small – 3,000 to 5,000 – population of golden eagles that breed in northeastern Quebec and migrate throughout the Appalachians. This bird, from preliminary research, appears to be a forest dweller that eschews human contact.

One more FE post..... Just posting a final count for kids in the group. Boys 12-14: 3 Girls 12-14: 4 Boys 10-11: 6 Girls 10-11: 1 Boys 7-9: 3 Girls 7-9: 4 Boys 4-6: 6 Girls 4-6: 6 Boys 1-3: 2 (one of the little guys is having his second birthday on board!) Girls 2-3: 2 Now I just need to get thinking what gifts to get for these gifts!!!
I so agree!!! I don't have an e-reader and have no plans to get one. I need a book I can hold in my hands and turn pages. My favorite saying is a room without books is like a house without windows.
Angie, Thanks for the spreadsheet. I received it without any problems. Now time to put things together.
A question about the FE ... are all of the adults in the rooms couples? (if I decide to do a couple gift) or perhaps a better question - is there anyone in the FE that is not an adult couple - but two adults traveling together .... Thanks
I have printed out deck plans for everyone with the stateroom numbers on them so you all can plan your deliveries. Please make sure that the stateroom number you gave to Angie is correct. I cannot find 7645 on the deck plans. Linda
TYPO ON MY PART PLEASE CHANGE THIS TO 7546 ON YOUR LISTS And please, everyone check your information to make sure this old lady did not make any other transpositions!! Thank you for the catch, Linda!!
Just called DCL to find out what movies were playing on the Magic when we sail. This is what is listed as "tentatively" playing: Lone Ranger, Planes, Iron Man 3, Brave, Avengers, Monsters Univ, Nemo, Tangled, Wreck it Ralph. Some were in 3D and I think there were a couple more that she listed, but I couldn't write that fast! I was hoping for the new movie Frozen, since that comes out around Thanksgiving. She did say that it is possible for other movies to be playing that they haven't listed as of yet. So, keeping my fingers crossed. But I haven't seen Monsters University yet, so I will be excited to see that!
We waited to see Planes because we knew it would be showing. We also have not seen Monsters University. Fun, fun!!!
I got a request this morning from another requesting to join the FE group. I declined, stating the deadline was posted many times, people have less than a month now and most have already started gathering gifts. I hope I did the right thing, I do hate saying no to anyone about almost anything. But, my thought is that if this exception is made and someone asks next week then what? We leave in 2 weeks for WDW prior to the cruise...... Feeling bad. This person has not yet posted on our thread and just booked the cruise, evidently.
I feel bad BUT we made a deadline - I vote stick to it. We have a lot of cabins already anyway Perhaps you could suggest that they post looking to form FE#2 for any last minute people who want to get in on it. We did that with my last cruise

If you've ever bought a Windows PC or Android smartphone or tablet from one of the big name vendors then chances are that you are familiar - perhaps even intimately familiar if you've ever tried removing it - with crapware.
As Microsoft continues its transition to more of a mobile first, cloud first vendor, its traditional Windows and Office licensing businesses are feeling the impact, as its Q2 FY 2015 numbers show.
As we look at how software will be evolving, traditional PC applications and mobile apps have some substantial differences, key among them the depth and flexibility traditional applications offer that are often an anathema to mobile users.

Microsoft wants Windows 10 to boost its mobile play, but that's not the only battle the software giant will have to fight.
What's next for Windows 10? This week's unveiling in Redmond should focus on consumer features. It will also reveal how well Microsoft is coping with the unprecedented shift from traditional PCs to mobile computing. Here's what I'll be looking for.
The PC market looks better as the tech suppliers who thrived on torrid mobile device growth start to get squeezed.
Microsoft has released a Phone Insider application for Windows Phones in anticipation of the arrival of the first Windows 10 mobile preview release.
The PC-on-a-stick will come pre-loaded with Windows 8.1 for $149, or Linux for just $89, when it starts shipping in March.

Eielson spouse: More than meets the 'Eagle Eyes'

354th Fighter Wing Public Affairs
5/21/2013 -
EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska
-- In the wake of the bombings in Boston and terrorist attempts to disrupt the daily lives of American citizens, an Eielson Air Force Base spouse sprang into action and reported a suspicious person during an Operational Readiness Exercise in April.
Jenny Mosley, wife of Tech. Sgt. Christopher Mosley, 354th Fighter Wing, was on her way to work when she noticed a person in a vehicle monitoring the base through binoculars.
"There was a gentlemen in a car as I drove out the front gate with binoculars watching the flightline. It was weird," said Mosley. "I've seen the 'Eagle Eyes' information on TV for what to do when you see something suspicious."
Agents from Air Force Office of Special Investigations Det. 632 were pleased with Mosley's actions and recognized her with a certificate of appreciation and coin of excellence during a ceremony May 17.
Mosley said she just wanted to make someone aware that a person who was acting suspicious appeared to be watching the base.
"Something didn't feel right so I thought I should call it in," said Mosley. "It was a simple process; I called, reported what I saw and went about my day. It didn't take long at all."
Eielson's AFOSI Det. 632 responds to reports in partnership with members of the 354th Security Forces Squadron in an effort to keep base employees and residents safe.
"It takes a lot of courage for someone to actually make a phone call like that," said Cynthia Overcash, AFOSI Det. 632 special agent. "People always assume that somebody else has called in or already reported. It's great when somebody actually makes that step to make sure it was reported."
As a result of the Sept. 11 terror attacks in 2001, the Air Force implemented "Eagle Eyes" to educate people on observable activities and what to do if they see something suspicious.
According to AFOSI officials, there are seven patterns of behavior in particular to keep an eye out for.
Someone recording or monitoring activities. This may include the use of still or video cameras, note taking, drawing diagrams, map making or using binoculars.
People or organizations attempting to gain information about military operations, capabilities or people. Elicitation attempts may be made by mail, fax, e-mail, telephone or in person. Examples could include being approached and asked about what's happening at the base, troop strength numbers, the number of airplanes on base, etc.
Tests of security:
Any attempts to measure reaction times to security breaches or to penetrate physical security barriers or procedures in order to assess strengths and weaknesses.
Acquiring supplies:
someone purchasing or stealing explosives, weapons, ammunition, detonators, timers, etc. Also includes acquiring military uniforms, decals, flight manuals, passes or badges (or the equipment to manufacture such items) or any other controlled items.
Suspicious people:
People who don't seem to belong in the workplace, neighborhood or business establishment. This category is hard to define, but the point is that people know what does and does not look right in their neighborhoods, office spaces and communities.
Dry run:
Putting people into position and moving them around according to their plan without actually committing the terrorist act. This is especially true when planning a kidnapping, but it can also pertain to bombings. An element of this activity could include mapping out routes and determining the timing of traffic lights and flow. Take note of people moving around from place to place without any apparent purpose and doing it, perhaps, many times. The appropriate example here is the 9/11 hijackers, who are now known to have actually flown on those exact flights several times before 9/11, working out arrival times, parking, ticketing, going through security, boarding, etc.
Deploying assets:
People and supplies getting into position to commit the act. This is a person's last chance to alert authorities before the terrorist act occurs. Look for people loading vehicles with weaponry or explosives, strange-looking people in military uniforms, or people who seem out of place standing by at a certain location as if waiting for something to happen.
To report any suspicious activity, call Eagle Eyes or the law enforcement desk at (907) 377-5130. You can also contact AFOSI Det. 632 at (907) 377-1852.
Good story good example of what all should do even in their own neighborhoods. 10 calls and preventing only one bad act is well worth the 9 other calls and Iam sure all law enforcement would agree. They cant be every where but with many eyes watching and reporting they can reduce the risk for everyone.

Ubisoft and NVIDIA have worked closely together to create a fully optimized version of the game that runs on GeForce GTX graphics cards. The result is that gamers with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics card will get an Assassins Creed IV Black Flag experience that features a wealth of NVIDIAs advanced gaming technologies such as TXAA and more. The extra performance means more immersive gaming including life-like environments, realistic combat and spectacular, cinematic visuals.
NVIDIA engineers work with their Ubisoft counterparts across the globe to ensure that PC games are the best they can be and Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag is a great example of that, said Tony Tamasi, senior vice president of Content and Technology at NVIDIA. Weve integrated advanced, PC-specific technologies into the game to give mood and depth to scenes and bring buildings and landscapes to life. The end result is an unparalleled visual treat, and set to be an absolute PC blockbuster.
Assassins Creed IV Black Flag will feature several NVIDIA Technologies: God Rays which allowed Ubisoft Montreal to paint beams of light that illuminate a scene from above, horizon-based ambient occlusion + (HBAO+) for more detailed and realistic shadows around objects that obstruct rays of light, percentage-closer soft shadows (PCSS) for more lifelike contact hardening shadows, and temporal anti-aliasing (TXAA) for smoother edges. With the addition of enhanced 4K textures, theres never been a better time to take to the high seas.
For a limited time, buyers of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN, 780 Ti, 780, 770, 760, 660, 670, 680, and 690 from participating retailers and e-tailers will receive a complimentary copy of Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag in addition to Ubisofts other blockbuster title, Splinter Cell Blacklist.

Suggestions for a good Calculus of Variations text? (self.math)
submitted 1 year ago by iAdmitNothing
Something that starts by explaining to me like I'm five and then picks up to more meaty material. I have a few Dover editions I got off Amazon that were $6-10. These are the three I have: 1 2 3. They're ok, but old (60's) and translated from Russian. I feel like when I read them the language is somewhat ambiguous and imprecise; clunky to work through. Is there something more fluid and precise in its presentation and perhaps more modern?

I've been working with Evans' book in my courses for almost two years. Fantastic text. I've gone through about 80% of it. In fact, I had been using it for the stated purpose. Some of his proofs are a bit nuanced. All the professors in my area in my department are out of the country for the summer, so I don't have anyone to ask about it. I was hoping for something to augment Evans that might give me some clarification as to his approach.

The only book I know that covers the calculus of variations is Modern Geometry - Methods and Applications, Part I by Dubrovin et al. The material on the calculus of variations starts at chapter 5, and depends on the preceding chapters. Take a look, maybe you'll find it useful.

I'll list books that I've encountered along with some brief comments about them.
Hope this gets the ball rolling!

Yeah, those Dovers are hit and miss, and the typesetting makes subscripts really hard to discern. For intro material you could try the Mary Boas and Arfken/Weber/Harris Math Methods for Physicists books, which i'm sure somebody you know has, or any STEM library.

Up until today, my plan for the robot takeover had been to flee to northern Canada, where deep snow and grizzly bears would keep me safe from Skynet. But not any more. All hail Skynet.
The Danes are latest to stake claim to the Arctic, hoping to get their hands on all the minerals and oil that may hide under the ice.
In the 1940s, people tuned into regal radios that were as much a piece of furniture as they were a gadget. So when computer designer Jeffrey Stephenson decided to build a small, high-end gaming PC, he took his design cues from the golden age of the wireless…
We might baulk at Winnipeg's -12°C winter temperatures. In Canada, it is cause for celebration.
A large number of Canada's lakes are are turning into jelly thanks to acid rain.
Over in Canada they over-produce fruit, which has left to rot. That's where this mobile cider mill comes in.
Instead of pumping CO2 into the atmosphere it's pumped into a saltwater aquifer to dissolve.
In 1845, the explorer John Franklin set off to sail the fabled Northwest Passage, an Arctic sea route that would hypothetically connect the Atlantic and the Pacific. He never returned.
It began rather quietly as a underground fire at a dump in Canada's remote northern reaches.
With such phrases like "Is it possible to get an STD from a TXT cause this conversation is making me itchy" and "I'm going to say what your mother should have—NOPE."
All rankings are indisputable and binding.

Our companie's policy is to prime the area with any bonding primer. This will seal the hairspray in and not let it affect the next coat of paint. It would also be a good idea to lightly sand the area first.
Our recommendation for primer would be Zinsser's BIN Spray (red can) and can be bought at most paint stores or home improvement stores. Other than that, any thing that specifically says "bonding" for a primer should be adequate enough.

Re: m71gen
If you take soft sleeper train it will be comfortable, i took hard sleeper train so cabin quite small. and there are bus to Hue..suggest to buy at Singh cafe.

Re: m71gen
The buses in Vietnam are nice, and you can find buses to every destination in the country. We took one train in the north, Hanoi to Sapa, and it was O.K.. Nothing special, especially because most things in Vietnam are not made for tall people such as myself. The flights from Vietnam Air (I think that is the name?) are fairly cheap and can be purchased in-country without much leeway. I loved the north and we really want to return to visit the South.
The DMZ tours from Hue are very interesting. I usually hate tours like that, but the hard-sell tour guide gives you a very interesting take on the war from the Vietnamese perspective. There are also fantastic tours in Hue to the tombs/palaces of Vietnam's past dynasties. A must, better than the DMZ tour by far. Then, if you go that far north, you have to visit Hoi-an.Be the first to rate this answer!
Re: m71gen
I've travelled on trains to Danang a couple of times and had no worries at all. One train was very old but comfortable enough - we had soft seats (sleeper) - and travelled at night to arive in early hours. Sometimes there are cheap flights from HCMC too, so worth checking out if you want a bit more comfort.
If you are going to Danang you would have to visit Hoi An. Last trip we took a bus from Hoi An to Hue which was great - and then booked a DMZ tour in Hue.
I do agree that some of the tombs and palaces were very interesting, probably more so that DMZ but depends why you are wanting to go there I suppose.Be the first to rate this answer!
Re: m71gen
I think you can get train from SGN - Dannang it is night train that is okay train, because train has solf- sleeper or hard-sleeper bed timetable you can look at vetau.com.vn/Datcho/Thongtin... - price is about 50USD for solf-sleeper but I think that you should take plan it is easier and more comfortable from SGN - DAN it take about 2 hours with price is around 75 USD/per.
have open bus from DAN- HUE 2times: 11am - 2:30pm other 2pm-5:30pm. you can book DMZ tour is easy in Hue they have a lot of travel agents in Hue you can book from them.
Good luck!
