Description [0001] This invention relates to methods of refining descriptors, for example such as are used for retrieving data items from databases. [0002] A major obstacle to the efficient retrieval of data is the way they are indexed (i.e. to select descriptors or keywords). Currently there are two common ways of indexing: [0003] 1. The use of an automatic indexing tool to extract words from text documents or recognize for=s and elements in images, videos, etc. This is based on artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and has the limits that this technology offers. [0004] 2. One or more people does the indexing manually after a close analysis of the data This is usually accurate but reliant on the vocabulary of the indexer and their perception of the data (It may be very subjective for images, for instance). It is also time-consuming. [0005] Both of these techniques provide a set of indexing keywords or descriptors which are static, and which very of text belong to a vocabulary that is inconsistent and limited. However, people querying the system in effect provide possible keywords in their queries. The keywords in the queries may not be existing descriptors but they are relevant to the data. Currently this information is left unused and forgotten by the system once the user quits the system. As a result, if the indexing keywords are inappropriate, nothing can be done to improve them even if some people may provide good indexing terms as they search. [0006] If the terminology commonly used changes over time (for example, one technical term becomes superseded by another), then it becomes necessary to redo all the indexing which is undesirable, especially as databases become bigger and bigger. [0007] Thus there is a need to describe data so that they will be more easily searchable by the majority of the community. [0008] According to one aspect of this invention there is provided a method of refining descriptors associated with data items to enable retrieval thereof, comprising the steps of: [0009] storing said data items in both a summary form and in a complete form; [0010] receiving a search request from a user for selection of data items, said request incorporating at least one descriptor; [0011] sending the user a search result comprising only the summary form of data items selected in accordance with said search request; and [0012] using a response of the user requesting the complete form of a selected data item in the search result to guide modifications of the descriptors. [0013] Methods and apparatus in accordance with this invention for refining descriptors associated with data items will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: [0014]FIGS. 1 and 2 are used in describing different indexing systems; [0015]FIG. 3 is a block schematic diagram of a system for implementing the invention; [0016]FIG. 4 illustrates adaptive indexing of an image; [0017]FIG. 5 shows various stages involved in managing inclusion of an item in or omission of that item from a set of descriptors; [0018]FIG. 6 illustrates operation of a technique for adjusting keyword weights; and [0019]FIG. 7 shows an exponential function used in deciding weighting factors applied to descriptors. [0020] Keywords or descriptors available in a database system to lead a searcher to a particular item (such as a document or image) are often different from the descriptors which best describe the content of that item. This is what makes information retrieval sometimes inaccurate and unsuccessful. In a traditional retrieval system which provides a static index by algorithmic means, the index can be represented by a data item-keyword, sparse matrix M of fixed dimensionality (see FIG. 1). An entry in the matrix M(d, i) is a number and has the meaning �the data item d has been indexed with a keyword i� Binary information or keyword frequencies can be stored and this leads to traditional binary or probabilistic retrieval systems. The main weakness of the static indexing approach is a user-system vocabulary mismatch (need for thesauri, stemming and fuzzy matching) and a need for mapping a user query into the indices that the system uses. [0021] It would be desirable to capture the keywords provided by users while searching, and associate them with the items the users retrieved. In this way it can be ensured that items are usefully associated with the keywords people actually use to retrieve them. [0022] An example of the invention is referred to herein as adaptive indexing, where the items are indexed by reference to contributions (explicit or implicit) from the entire community as people search the data. With adaptive indexing the system is capable of capturing the keywords entered by the user community The information captured from the user interaction during the process of searching and browsing the results leads to automatic thesaurus build-up, gradual convergence of the system's keywords to the user population vocabulary and indexes which are always up-to-date. The dynamic index could be visualised as a list of keywords (FIG. 2) with the containing list enumerating all the data items and the contained lists enumerating all the keywords for a given data item. Keywords could also have scores attached to them according to their degree of relevance for a data item. The lists expand when a new keyword is entered. [0023] In this scenario, each item or piece of data has a set of associated dynamic descriptors or keywords, which are not static but which can change with time as a result of information from people searching. Each descriptor for a given piece of data has a weight that measures its relevance to that piece of data The value of the weight is statistically determined by the searches. At an instant in time, the descriptor with the highest weight at that time is considered to be the best description of the piece of data because it was the most popular description of the piece of data given by people using the system. The descriptor with the smallest weight is not very relevant to the piece of data, and if its weight continues to decrease then at some point the descriptor may be removed (garbage collected). [0024] Feedback from users may be explicit (e.g. users provide comments on how useful or relevant the search result was) or implicit (e.g. a system monitors whether people make purchases in relation to the content of search results). In the example described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 the feedback is implicit, i.e. the user does not know about the learning process going on in the system. Consequently, the system has to evaluate the associations that are implied by the user's actions. [0025] Referring to FIG. 3, a user 10 operates a computer terminal 12 to send search requests via a communications link 14 (e.g. in a computer communications network) to an input/output interface 16. The interface 16 forwards the search requests to a processor 18 which executes software program instructions stored in a memory 20 to search a store 22 holding data items and associated descriptors for indexing them. The program instructions may include, for example, search engine functions for scanning for data items associated with specified descriptors, and functions for managing the associations with descriptors. [0026] Each data item (document, image, etc.) is held in the store 22 in two different forms [0027] a �summary form� where it is minimally described so that the user can quickly access its contents. In the case of images, the summary may be a �thumbnail� (a reduced-scale, low resolution version of the full image) with possibly an image title or some other information such as the photographer's or artist's name, or an image reference number. By quickly examining this summary, the user can form an initial opinion on whether this item may be relevant to their query. [0028] a �complete form�, which contains all the necessary information about the item to enable a decision to be made on whether it is relevant to the current query or not. For an image, for instance, this complete form would comprise the image at a good enough resolution to enable details of the composition as well as the quality of the image to be assessed. In a remote technical support system it could be the fill history of a call for support by a user, and the assistance and advice given (Question/Answer/Comments/Pointers to relevant documents etc . . . ). [0029] The user 10 first provides a query, and the processor 18 responds with a list of summaries of items which appear potentially relevant. The user browses through this result list, and upon finding an item which appears from its summary to be similar to what is being sought, she will access the complete form of that item. The processor 18, under the control of the program in the memory 20, treats this choice as an implicit signal that an association has been made between the initial query (list of descriptors) and that item in the database. Consequently it updates the descriptors of the selected item accordingly in the store 22. All the keywords in the query are associated with the selected item in this updating, irrespective of whether or not hey were already descriptors for that item this is how the system applies new keywords. [0030] Thus, referring to FIG. 4, a picture of a pig with a litter of piglets standing by a cluster of flowers may already be indexed according to the terms pig, farm, family, flowers and field. A user may enter a search query containing the terms pig, piglet, farm, countryside and family. Because countryside and piglet are not already present as descriptors for this picture, the system adds then. It also adjusts (increases) the weighting of the descriptors in the query which are already associated with this item (such as pig and farm). If flowers persists with zero weighting it is eventually removed as a descriptor for this image. [0031] The evolution of the weights of the descriptors for a given data item is tailored by the interactions of the users. The more users associate a descriptor with a particular data item, the higher the resulting weight. If users' description of the data item changes (through, for example, evolution of terminology, historical events, new terminology, a new data domain or a new set of users) the descriptors will evolve according to the majority opinion of the community of users searching the data. [0032] As this technique relies on purely implicit indications, the possibility of some inappropriate associations cannot be avoided. For instance the user 10 may be seeking a picture of a lion eating its prey. She may enter the query �lion eating prey�, and the processor 18 returns a picture of an antelope resting in the shadow of a tree. Although the user is not interested in buying rights to use this image she finds it appealing and requests the complete form to see the image in more detail out of pure curiosity. The keyword capture process implemented by the processor 18 will reflect this action by reinforcing or re-indexing this image Of an antelope with the keywords �lion�, �eating� and �prey�, with �lion� perhaps becoming a new descriptor in the process. It is also possible to make an inappropriate association by associating an item with a misspelled keyword. [0033] However such inappropriate associations should have a minimal impact on die system, because an individual association does not change the keyword weighting very much. A newly associated keyword does not acquire maximal significance immediately after the fist association is made. In other words, more than a single association is needed to radically change the indexing; for example, in one implementation, new keywords are not used for search until five associations with that keyword have been made. Consequently a misspelled keyword will become a valid descriptor for the data item only if it is a common misspelling. [0034] So far adaptive indexing has been described essentially as a process happening when access is made to the complete form of a data item for preview/review. However it is also possible to introduce multiple levels of impact on the indexing. For example, it is possible to reinforce the descriptors further if the user 10 decides actually to buy rights to use an image. This is equivalent to adding an extra level of relevance feedback that would be more explicit, and it reduces the potential risks of purely implicit feedback. Explicit feedback could also be introduced at the end of the retrieval phase, especially for remote support systems where customer satisfaction is often monitored. [0035] Each association between a descriptor or keyword and a data item has a weight, which is a value between 0 and 1. This weight may be implemented in either of two ways: [0036] data item focussed: weights are associated with data items and normalisation is done relative to data items; this implies defining how a data item is described; [0037] keyword focussed: weights are associated with keywords and normalisation is done relative to a keyword; this implies defining what a keyword means. [0038] In the present embodiment keyword focussed weighting is used This is mainly to ensure that specialist keywords which are very rarely used (but which axe extremely good descriptors) nonetheless strongly influence the result of a query. If the data item focussed approach were used, the weight of such rarely used keywords would be small compared to the weight of other, more common, keywords. Thus a query combining a common keyword and an unusual keyword would yield a result with many items matching the common keyword, possibly swamping the items matching the unusual though highly relevant descriptor. With the keyword focussed approach the weight of this unusual descriptor is high, as the number of data items described by this specific keyword is small. [0039] This choice has the side effect of giving increased importance to popular data items (as far as the weights are concerned). From a commercial viewpoint this is advantageous; in the case of images, for instance, there are often images which are particularly popular at one time, according to current fashion. [0040] The keyword weight is used to evaluate the importance of a keyword for a particular data item, and also to rank the results of a user query. In the embodiment described herein for each keyword three different weight values are distinguished, which determine the status of that keyword: [0041] wk�: the initial weight when the keyword first enters the system; [0042] wk User: the threshold for a keyword to become searchable (i.e. be taken into account in determining whether a data item should be included in the result of a user query); [0043] wk_hu GC: the threshold below which a keyword becomes �garbage collected� (i.e. no longer used in assembling results for user queries). [0044] The specific calculation of each of these values depends on the adaptive indexing algorithm adopted. [0045] Further each keyword has a status, determined by these weight values, which reflects the influence of the users as implied by their reactions to query results: [0046] 1. Master keyword: the master keyword is provided by the content provider or by a professional indexer (this is the original descriptor). This keyword cannot be removed by the system without the explicit consent of a supervisor. This is because some terms are very specific to the data item, or are even key descriptors, but are not frequently used s because the average user (general public) is not familiar with them. Nonetheless their inclusion enables specialists to access the data item quickly. [0047] 2. User keyword: this keyword has been provided by a user (general public); it is searchable because a significant number of people have already associated this keyword with a particular data item. [0048] 3. Candidate keywords: there are two different types of candidate keyword reflecting two different types of transition for a keyword. In either case they are not �active� (not searchable). They will be garbage collected when their weight falls below a given value (wk GC) or become u keywords if their weight rises above a given value (wk User). [0049] candidate for User keyword: this is the initial status of a new keyword entering the system. This keyword is not yet searchable, because it could be misspelled or an inappropriate association as described above. This status reduces the risk of the search process being slowed by the presence of large numbers of �Junk� keywords. However, this also makes the addition of a new keyword harder, as it has to be used in association with an existing keyword for a data item several times before it exceeds the threshold to become a User keyword itself; [0050] candidate for Garbage Collection: this status is reserved for User keywords whose weight decreases to its original introduction weight (wk 0), i.e. they became User keywords but were very rarely used afterwards. This could happen, for example, either by evolution of the vocabulary or by entry of an inappropriate keyword at some point in time. [0051]FIG. 5 shows the possible transitions between these different possible statuses, and the corresponding values for the weight wk� which result in each transition. [0052] Various different techniques for varying the value of the weight Wk� can be used. Two are described below. The first is a straightforward interpretation of simple probabilistic rules. The second one is more empirical and aims at forcing the weights to evolve following an exponential curve. [0053] In the first technique the weight is fixed for a given period of time. At the end of each period, the weight is re-evaluated according to the extent of association which has occurred during that period. The duration of a period is the only arbitrary parameter. It depends on the total number of data items and on the extent of use of the search system (number of queries per day for instance). At the beginning of each period, for each keyword k, two counters are set to zero: [0054] Ck represents the number of times the keyword has been associated with data items (irrespective of whether it was with different data items or many times with the same data item); [0055] Ck,i represents the number of times the keyword has been associated with data item i. At the end of the period, the weight of the association between a keyword and a data item is defined by w k,i=(C k,I /C k) if Ck is different from 0 w k,i=0 otherwise [0056] In other words, the weight represents the probability that the data item i is indexed by the keyword k. Under these circumstances, the starting weight wk� for a new keyword will be proportional to 1/Ck. The two other thresholds Wk user and wk GC are arbitrary and will be the same for all the keywords. A disadvantage of this method is that the history associated with a weight is rather limited and very dependent on the activity of the search system, and more specifically on the extent of use of the keyword. [0057] The lists of keywords could be sorted according to normalised scores and divided into quantized intervals of fixed length in proportion to each keyword's probability of indexing a data item. Keywords would compete on the basis of weight to be promoted to the higher interval and would be moved down to the lower interval by more appropriate keywords. Conditions can be specified for crossing interval boundaries to prevent keywords oscillating between intervals (see FIG. 6). Keyword probabilities may be quantized to save storage (a byte gives 256 bins of length 0.004 which could be sufficient). [0058] In the second, exponential function, technique, the weight follows a curve composed of two exponential curves (see FIG. 7). Thus increasing and decreasing the weights is reduced to a simple multiplication by a specific coefficient. Each association of a data item with the same keyword will follow the same curve depending on the initial weight. [0059] For convenience and efficiency of computation it is preferable to store the value v=w−1 instead of w itself. Hereinafter v is referred to as the �Relationship Coefficient�. In addition the following notations are used:
[0060] The following requirements can be easily ensured: [0061] weight limitation to represent a relevancy weight (i.e. wikε]0,1[or vik ε]−1,0[) [0062] we can control the number NUser of interactions needed for a keyword in an association to become an active keyword (i.e. the total number of associations of the keyword with that data item needed to have vik>vhd kUser) [0063] we can control the number NGc of negative interactions needed for a keyword in an association to become an candidate for garbage collection (i.e. the number of associations needed to have vik<Vk�) [0064] reversibility of updating (i.e. vik increased once and decreased nk times returns to the initial value before the increase) [0065] The weight-updating procedure requires an initial setting for the relationship coefficient For each association between a keyword and a data item this relationship coefficient will be increased or decreased. In the case of a new association, it will be entered into the store 22, and if this new association is made with a new keyword, this keyword will also be entered into the store 22. [0066] The relationship coefficients for a keyword are first initialized depending on the number of data items indexed by the keyword. It is considered that the more data items one keyword indexes, the less relevant it should initially be to describe the data items. Thus vk� can take the form:
[0067] For practical reasons it is undesirable for the initial relationship coefficient to be too high, so 2 is added to nk in the formula. This is arbitrary and different values could be used here. [0068] For each part of the curve (Part 1 and Part 2, FIG. 7) there is a respective increasing coefficient and a decreasing coefficient Thee coefficients, as well as the initial relationship coefficient, are specific to each keyword. [0069] Part 2 of the Curve: When v≧v� [0070] If f is the function describing this part, with the two initial conditions f(0)=vk� and the slope f (0)=s, the following expression for f is obtained:
[0071] Increasing coefficient equation (calculated f (x+1)):
[0072] Decreasing coefficient equation (calculated from f(x−1/nk)):
[0073] Part 1 of the Curve. when v<v� [0074] If g is the function describing this part, with the two initial conditions g(0)=vk� and the slope g′(0)=S, the following expression for g is obtained:
[0075] Increasing coefficient equation (calculated from g(x+1)):
[0076] Decreasing coefficient equation (calculated from g(x−1/nk)):
[0077] In FIG. 7 the x axis represents the number N of associations between a keyword and a data item. The exact derivation of N is: N=N + −N −0.1/n k [0078] where N30 represents the number of times the association [i,k] was made and N the number of times the associations [j,k] were made for j≠i. [0079] The User and GC relationship coefficients are derived as follows: User relationship coefficient vk User [0080] This represents the value of v taken after Nuser associations have occured, without any decrease, since the association was created (i.e. since v−v�).
[0081] GC relationship coefficient vk GC [0082] This represents the value of v that would take the value of the initial relationship coefficient v�, after NGC negative interactions have occurred, without any decrease.
[0083] The coefficient nk counts associations with the keyword k tat are active, which means that the other coefficients vk U, C(1) inc, C(2) inc, C (1) dec and C(2) dec only relate to the active keywords. When the status of a keyword k in an association changes, the value of nk must be increased (Candidate keyword to user keyword) or decreased (user keyword to candidate for GC keyword), Then all the other coefficients must be recalculated. [0084] If a new association is made with a new keyword k, the system should initialise the value of nk to 1 and then calculate vk�, C(1) inc, C(2) inc, C(1) dec and C(2) dec. Then the association is created between the data item and the keyword, and vik gets the relationship coefficient value vk�. [0085] When a new association is made but with a keyword k already in the system (i.e. indexing other data items), this new association is created and its relationship coefficient is initialised to vk�. As it is not an active keyword for that data item yet, it is not counted in nk, so the other coefficients are not yet recalculated. [0086] Some example scenarios incorporating the present invention will now be briefly described: [0087] 1) Indexing new data items: a batch of photographs has to be added to the image repository and there exists a community of picture indexers (these could be the users browsing the collection). Each indexer is given a randomly selected picture from the new batch and is asked to provide the keywords. These are added to the keyword set indexing the picture or if the keyword is already present the counter associated with it is incremented. Provided that users agree on a subset of keywords for a given picture, these would eventually emerge with the higher score. [0088] 2) Searching an indexed collection of data items: the collection of photographs is being searched with keywords by a large user community. The candidate photographs selected in accordance with the keywords are shown in thumbnail form, and once a thumbnail image is selected for viewing of the complete version at full size and resolution the search keywords modify existing indices by a small factor (learning rate). If the user subsequently chooses to purchase a copy of the image, the association of the search keywords with the image may accordingly be strengthened further. One could try to obtain the thesaurus automatically assuming that two subsequently entered keywords are related semantically (assuming keywords are nouns only). This is a very weak assumption and most of the pairs would constitute �noise� (i.e. they have a very small probability of being entered by another user) but consistently entered keyword pairs would emerge trough the scoring procedure. [0089] Many applications for adaptive indexing exist The World Wide Web provides one particularly attractive opportunity, since its user community is huge and diverse. People use the Web to search for information of any type and are sensitive to delays in the search so the quality of indexing is very important. The Web also changes very quickly as technologies evolve: there is a need for a maximum of dynamism as well as availability of the information. [0090] Adaptive indexing might also be very useful for smaller user communities. A corporate user community can for instance train the search tool to use their own specialized vocabulary. Since the indexing is adaptive, the indexes can be specific or dedicated to a particular area. [0091] This system would be extremely useful for image libraries, since automatic tools to index images are very difficult to produce. The way that we describe an image is also dependent on what we take into account in the image: it may be the elements which go into its composition, or the emotion that it provokes, for instance. An adaptive indexing tool will build a set of descriptors which reflect what the majority of people searching the image library think about an image, making it easily retrievable by this majority. [0092] On one hand therefore this technique may be used to index the Web and make a data item easily reachable by a majority of people searching for it, and on the other hand it allows the use of a very restricted vocabulary for indexing in a small user community with rigid rules. The system adapts itself to the environment and can be moved smoothly from one environment to another. [0093] In fact, this system tries to capture real life perception of objects in the environment. We all have different ways of describing something but the description that is most often used in the appropriate community can be considered as the democratic description. Thus an adaptive indexing system can act as a repository for human knowledge, and taking �snapshots� of the state of the system from time to time could allow cultures to be compared over time. [0094] Although the system can adapt its indexes automatically without intervention, there is also the possibility that a manager of the system can set some parameters in accordance with the search capabilities needed: [0095] modification of the number of descriptors for the data By modifying the threshold of the minimum weight or the total number of descriptors allowed, one can decide who wide the vocabulary will be. [0096] modification of the amplitude of the weight: the manager can choose whether it is appropriate to have weights which are very close together or far apart. This has to do with the strategy for training the system when a new vocabulary has to be built up, such as in the initial phase, or just after some event such as change of user community which is likely to bring in a significant number of new descriptors and make some of the old descriptors obsolete. We could so with weights close together so that links can be made easily between pieces of data and new descriptors, and later make the weights further apart as the vocabulary for the description stabilizes.

Comments about Whiteside Pilot Drill & Counterbore :
If you buy several of these over a period of time you will find that the dimeter of the cutter varies from one to the other some over size some under size more than what is the normal industry standard for this type of tool. As long as you plan for this you will have a very useful tool

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I've been making knives of various types for about ten years now, mostly for myself and as gifts for family and friends. When making kitchen knives the hard part is usually getting the rivet holes lined up with the slots in the knife blade and then centering a slightly wider hole for the rivet head. This bit simplifies and eases that whole process by cutting all the holes at once. With a drill press everything can be set up once and all holes drilled quickly and easily, without any slop. I wish I had purchased this years ago.

Top of the World Women's Rutgers Scarlet Knights Black/Scarlet Striped Rugby Scarf
store product better than online one
I bought what I thought was the same scarf at Dick's store, but they only had one and I needed 4 so I ordered these. They were not the same the one from the store was better quality and I liked the look better without the fringe.

Poetry would be comprised entirely of haikus and sonnets dedicated to cakes and pastries if poets didn't devour their idyllic subjects before having a chance to write. Say what meter and rhythm cannot with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of baked goods and café fare at The Flour Pot Bakery. Utilizing fresh, all-natural ingredients, The Flour Pot Bakery whips up a scrumptious selection of European–style breads, temping pastries, café eats, and more. Discerning tongues will become soaked in an anticipatory mouth sweat while perusing the menu's varied items amid the modern boulangerie's arena of divine aromas. Nosh on freshly baked baguettes, specialty breads such as The Flour Pot signature bread ($5.29), stuffed sandwiches ($5.99+), and slices of savory quiches ($5.29+). An assortment of sweet delights awaits soon-to-be sticky fingers, including chocolate croissants ($1.99), delectable cakes, and lip-smacking blueberry almond tarts ($4.99) that boast more taste than a pie filled with Renoir paintings.
The Flour Pot Bakery
The Flour Pot Bakery contains a mélange of culinary influences at what appears to be a seemingly straightforward bakery. The team uses two-thirds of the 2,200 square-foot space solely for the production of handmade french, italian, and swiss breads, Jewish challa, tahitian mousse, and of course, Florida citrus brioche. Every drop of water is filtered before its added to the unbleached, unbromated, premium flour, and the crew limits the amount of sugar in its recipes, save for decadent favorites such as éclairs and triple-layer chocolate cakes. Though the shop's case primarily displays sweet treats, lunch and breakfast has a place in the bakery as well. Croissants and the shop's signature bread sandwich everything from eggs and ham to turkey and tuna, which customers can enjoy within the sunny café, or take to the local farmer's market, grocer, or misguided Mars rover.

A Carlisle curry house boss hounded young girls for sex and tried to recruit six vulnerable child prostitutes while running a brothel in Botchergate, a court heard.
Azad Miah, 44, who ran The Spice of India, is said to have "stalked" girls to have sex for money. Many of the girls were addicted to drugs or had troubled pasts and backgrounds.
A jury at Carlisle Crown Court was told he also paid regularly for the sexual services of a girl over a four-year period from when she was aged 14.
At Carlisle Crown Court yesterday prosecutor Tim Evans said the case was "a cold, clinical, calculated exploitation of the desperate and the vulnerable".
Miah, who also ran takeaways in Cockermouth and Whitehaven, is charged with eight counts of paying for the sexual services of a child. The offences are said to have taken place between 2005 and 2009 when the girl was aged between 14 and 17. He is also charged with eight counts of inciting child prostitution. These offences involving six different girls – aged between 12 and 16 – are said to have taken place between 2007 and 2011. He also faces one charge of keeping a brothel at the Spice of India takeaway.
He denies all the charges.
Mr Evans said: "This is a case in which the defendant sought to persuade a variety of young girls – some of whom he knew were under 16 – to have sex with him for money or the equivalent of money via the provision of drugs and or drink. Those requests were either made face to face when girls came into or were working in his takeaway shop [The Spice of India] or were made by telephone calls or texts.
"The attempted persuasion was persistent – he would hound young girls for weeks, months – face to face and over the phone. More worryingly he would stalk some of them, following them home in particular. Some girls did indeed have sex with him for money.
Mr Evans told the jury of six men and six women: "Other witnesses will tell you that The Spice of India was a place they attended and had sex with men, including Miah, for money.
"In essence therefore the premises not only operated as a takeaway restaurant but also operated as a brothel being a location where women attended and prostituted themselves. Miah told one of the girls that 'young girls were better depending on how many people they had slept with'.
"He said that sex with young girls was better and for him it was more of a thrill."
Miah, who lives on Warwick Road, described himself as "a sex addict who would not refuse any woman who wanted to have sex with him," although he said he would not have interest in a child which he defined as under 18.
He suggested that all those who had given evidence against him were drug users who had got together and concocted stories. All the complaints against him were "nonsense", he said.
When police showed him photographs of some of the complainants he did accept that he knew some of them. He denied having sex with young girls or approaching them to have sex with him.
He denied The Spice of India was used for paid sex.
The trial continues.

No fans, low RPM fans, non-stock CPU cooler and GPU's that are not reference design with the small fans. They are loud as hell during load. --- http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/1096/austinx.png http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/1108/1wyd.png | |
Delta_F14 posted... Lots of low rpm fans. This is probably the biggest factor. The speed at which the various fans spins is the biggest factor for how loud your PC will be. Small fans usually have to spin quickly to get acquitted air flow while larger fans can spin slower while giving similar air flow. The CPU cooler and GPU cooler are usually the two loudest things in your computer. A good after market cooler, a good fan and a fan profile that gradually ramps up the CPU cooler fan's speed is the most important thing to get a quieter PC. Next is a GPU. Most gaming quality GPUs now come with solid coolers already but a custom fan profile is a good, free, way to quite down your PC more when you aren't playing graphically intense games. Finally are the case fans. If you already have a bunch of fans and aren't looking to replace them you can get a fan controller to connect them all to to control their speeds. Even reducing their speed a little can quite case fans down greatly while still giving good air flow. --- Have you accepted Raspberyl as your loli and savior? | |
Freakwave003 posted... I replaced all the fans with noctua fans. Works well. Noctua is pretty overrated. I have a couple noctua fans and they don't hold a candle to my s-flex. --- god invented extension cords. -elchris79 Starcraft 2 has no depth or challenge -GoreGross | |
DarkZV2Beta posted... Freakwave003 posted...I replaced all the fans with noctua fans. Works well. I like the Scythe S Flex SFF21F fans at low enough voltage to run at ~850RPM for case and CPU fans. They cool adequately while being almost silent. | |
Cobra152004 posted... DarkZV2Beta posted...Freakwave003 posted...I replaced all the fans with noctua fans. Works well. Yeah, I think those are the same ones I got. Mucho cheapo, and damn near silent around ~800rpm. I have two on intake and one on exhaust.

http://pcpartpicker.com/b/Hfj This hasn't been updated yet to reflect some of my more recent purchases, but that's me attempting to make a relatively quiet PC. Notice all of the Noctua fans. The PWM ones go onto the Kraken X40 (whose default fan is god awful), and they're pretty much silent. I put the other ones everywhere else. In most of their fan kits Noctua includes a cord with a resistor built in. This causes a voltage drop going out to the fan, which causes them to run at lower RPM. The case also includes a fan controller (which practically does the same thing, just has a switch that controls more than one fan). Is this silent though? Nope not even close. Once you get enough air circulating in these standard cases, what kind of bearings your fan have... is pretty much irrelevant. =_=; And the issue is that I need a lot of air circulating for that SLI setup. Hell I just recently switched the cooler on one of my GPU's to a Kraken G10 + Corsair H55. All I have to say is that this case was a huge mistake for an SLI setup (which could have been avoided with one of the cards being a blower type, but it's a moot point now). Very limited number of fans in the GPU area, not enough to make a good circulation. If I just got something like the Corsair Air 540 (or alternatively a case with more fan slots in the center area on the door), I would have had a much better time of things in general. Now I've had to literally shove a fan in every slot and it's still not enough. TL;DR if you want to make a quiet PC, choose your case very wisely. The fans next. Quiet doesn't mean jack if your parts are overheating. --- THIS TABLE... THIS TABLE!!~~! - Someone from an anime. Tables are very useful, indeed. Almost orgasmically so. |

Disappointed there was not much car integration discussion other than a quickie on the Alpine eX-10. A comprehensive review of car audio iPod interfaces and features is long overdue…
Posted by SA on December 9, 2007 at 8:02 PM (CST)
We've covered car integration options for pre-2007 iPods in our Free iPod Book 3.3 and past Buyers' Guides (2004-2007), but have held off on recommending most of the hardware that we have seen as we're frankly dissatisfied with so much of it, and do not believe it to be a good use of money.
For 2007 models, car integration is a complete mess right now thanks to Apple's decisions to lock video on the new iPods and use a slightly different standard for iPhone connectivity. Kits that previously worked now have problems in various ways, much to our chagrin, and we don't want to recommend something requiring as much work as a professional installation when there is no guarantee that the results will satisfy users. So unfortunately, our basic recommendation is not to buy high-end car accessories until the dust clears, which we hope will happen in early 2008.

I just got a new laptop with Windows Vista Home Edition and downloaded the most recent version of iTunes. I started copying my CDs and accidently copied a couple twice. How do I get rid of the duplicates? I've tried, sort for duplicates and right clicking but there is no Clear or Delete option on the pull-down menu also there is a Delete on the Edit window but it is not an available option when I have a song selected. Is this a bug?

I've done a lot of looking, but can find nothing that shows me how to recategorize a file. For example, I have an audiobook in my Itunes that shows up under "Music" and I can't seem to get it go over to the "Audiobook" category where it belongs.
Same thing with some of my video podcasts. They show up under "Movies" and I can't get them back to "Podcasts" where they belong.
Any help is much appreciated!

Graduation ceremonies
We hold graduation ceremonies twice a year, in May and December. You can learn more about them, and what you need to do to participate, here.
May graduation
Applications for May graduation close on 1 March 2015. There will be six graduation ceremonies held 12-14 May, the times of ceremonies and parades are to be confirmed.
Tuesday 12 May 2015
- Ceremony 1: Faculties of Education and Humanities and Social Sciences
- Ceremony 2: Faculties of Humanities and Social Sciences and Toihuarewa and Te Kōkī New Zealand School of Music
Wednesday 13 May 2015
- Ceremony 3: Faculties of Engineering and Science
- Ceremony 4: Faculties of Architecture and Design and Law
Thursday 14 May 2015
- Ceremony 5: Victoria Business School
- Ceremony 6: Victoria Business School
Humanities and Social Sciences and Victoria Business School ceremonies
The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and Victoria Business School are each split across two ceremonies. Graduands of these faculties are allocated based on their school, and will be advised of their allocation in early March.
Which graduation ceremony do I take part in?
Ceremonies are held twice a year, in May and December, at the Michael Fowler Centre in central Wellington.
If you complete your qualification at the end of the year, you would normally graduate in the May ceremonies of the following year; if you complete mid-year, you would normally graduate in the December ceremonies. If you complete in Trimester Three you must apply for advance graduation if you wish to graduate in May. You can apply to graduate at a subsequent ceremony as long as it is within 12 months of completing your qualification.
The ceremony
The graduation ceremony begins with the official procession of University staff and a welcome with karanga and haka pōwhiri. After the national anthem and a graduation address by the chancellor, graduands will stand and be 'capped' as a group by the Chancellor.
Graduates will then be called across stage to be congratulated and presented with their certificates. PhD graduates are called onto the stage first (alphabetically by surname), then other graduates are ordered by their faculty and qualification—this begins with Masters degrees and then alphabetically by surname.
The guest speaker will give an address after the PhD graduates have been presented with their qualifications. There will also be two musical interludes during the ceremony.
The ceremony ends with an address by the graduate speaker, singing of Gaudeamus (a traditional university song) and the official staff procession from the stage, which graduates follow. The ceremony will be followed by the Deans' Reception in the Renouf Foyer.
Academic dress
When taking part in any Victoria graduation ceremony you must wear academic dress. Graduands are reminded to apply for academic dress by 1 March for May ceremonies or 1 October for December ceremonies. More information is available at our Academic Dress page.
These processions are a highlight of graduation celebrations and graduating students from all ceremonies are encouraged to take part. During graduation week staff and students parade in full academic dress through Wellington city, proceeding from the Law School, Old Government Buildings on Lambton Quay through to the Civic Centre.
Friends and family
The number of friends and family you can invite to your graduation ceremony is limited due to space restrictions at the Michael Fowler Centre. You will be informed about the number of guests you can invite in the material sent by the Graduation Office six weeks before your ceremony.
Children are welcome as guests at the Graduation ceremonies, but need to be with an adult that isn't graduating. We don't allow any children in the graduands' marshalling area or on stage.
Any child over the age of two requires a ticket or if they're under two, they will need to sit on an adult's knee for the full ceremony.
Te Hui Whakapūmau
Te Hui Whakapūmau is an opportunity for graduands and their whānau to celebrate their achievement in a Māori dimension through tikanga Māori. The ceremony is in addition to the main graduation ceremonies held at the Michael Fowler Centre where the actual conferring/granting of degrees takes place.
Graduation photos
Photos from the December ceremonies and parade can be viewed online.

Best Andrew Delapruch Poems
just a few miles into town round where the speed limit changes & the grass seems to grow higher on the banks than on the football fields, the front yards & the mountain paths leading up closer to the sky, the grave of a loved one lies nestle in the ground at the cemetery whose quiet is both comfortable & unnerving, bringing a special kind of mental confusion, every time the disbeliever visits to pay respects & talk a while. taking time from a week otherwise suited for getting on with one's life, s/he makes the pilgrimage in silent, buying a new bouquet of the most beautiful flowers s/he can find & cleaning up as if to go on a first date--- instead & to the amazement of her/him, after all this time, there are still tears that creep up on the car ride over & at this point, no mention of this ritual to anybody has brought peace to this individual, for it is only the visit & the one-way conversation at the grave site which seems to be the only way to sustain anymore. the groundskeeper watches the car slow on the cemetery road, for he/she knows the routines of those who mourn habitually, and even though he's/she's seen it a thousand times, it can make him/her wonder, break her/his own heart, while at the same time making him/her grateful for all the people in their own live, whom he/she values so much. getting out of the car, the lone loved one walks often with their head hanging, while at other times, they are standing straight looking up ahead, as if anything had changed & though the shrink continues to beat the drum of "change comes from within," s/he's convinced that shrink is bull*****& is strongly considering the cessation of the sessions.

The House of Representatives has requested that four companies of about 600 metropolitan police officers are drafted in to maintain law and order outside parliament when it reopens for ordinary sessions on Aug 1, Deputy House Speaker Wisuth Chainaroon said on Monday.
He said about 100 parliament guards would be responsible for security inside the parliament compound, adding that all people and vehicles entering and leaving the parliament compound will be subject to searches for weapons and explosives.
He said maximum security measures would be taken to make sure that MPs are not obstructed from entering parliament on Aug 1.
