Unless you edit the files in localisation, this mod will most likely not work for non-English versions of EU3.
This is merely a test version of this mod, so that I can get feedback. It is not considered finished in any way. That said, I certainly consider it to be playable.
This mod is an attempt to greatly expand on EU3's portrayal of Japan from 1453-1793. It is deterministic in that it is intended to cause Japan to split up, then ultimately re-unify. By 1453 the causes for the ultimate collapse of central government in Japan were already well rooted, and I can not imagine a plausible situation in which Japan could have avoided that fate (especially in the mere 13 years between the begining of EU3 and the Onin War!). If playing a nation outside of Asia, this mod should not effect your game in any meaningful way.
- Includes a new Japan roughly the same size as the default EU3 one, but with a more accurate shape and 4 additional provinces.
- Completely recalculated manpower and taxation numbers for Japanese provinces using historic population estimates for France, England, Spain as well as historical Japanese statistics on production and population. Overall, this meant that total Japanese tax values had to be doubled, and manpower tripled (although I changed the distribution of these values to be historically accurate). I do not feel that doing this makes Japan "overpowered" in any way. (BTW, the numbers of Ming and the Mughals need to be increased even more drastically)
- Includes 28 Japanese clans with accurate monarch lists.
- Designed to be played from any starting date (although post-1477 is recommended unless using an AI Japan). I've tried to include as many various wars, alliances, province changes, etc., that I could.
- Added 4 government types :
Feudal Shogunate (a government with various negatives to simulate the weakness of the Ashikaga Shogunate)
Feudal Daimyo (a type with boosts to manpower, taxes, and support limits designed to make the 1 province daimyo clans more able to conduct war)
Sengoku Daimyo/Centralized Shogunate (at this point, essentially the same as Feudal Monarchy)
- added the "Closed/Open Society" policy slider, which is essentially a much nastier version of the Innovative/Narrowminded slider. The key elements here are that when moved to the left it severely limits tech growth (-5 should make a 0.8 tech group nation into roughly a 0.3 one) and reduces the number of diplomats received. Although its still very much a work in progress (I haven't yet decided what the right side benefits should be), I think it will be useful to simulate Sakoku and the internal orientation of Confucian states.
- moved Shinto from the Eastern religious group into a Japanese religious group. This was primarily because I wanted the various daimyo to be able to have the full range of diplomatic options amongst themselves, but did not want them marrying with Korea, Ming, etc.
- The Chinese tech group has been changed from 0.4 to 0.8
- Added fort1 to each Japanese province (except Hokkaido), as most were defenseless. Should perhaps be made fort2 in some provinces.
- Added a number of temples to Japanese provinces (it had only 1 originally)
- Added about 25 unique events
Non-Japanese Effects of This Mod:
- moved Manchu to the Tangusic culture group
- added "Chinese Emperor" government type, largely for flavor reasons, and to prevent Ming royal marriages
- The Chinese tech group has been changed from 0.4 to 0.8
- Ming and Korea have been given -4 Closed Society which should mean their tech growth is about the same as in vanilla.
- A Tanegashima event for Catholic European nations used to set off a Japanese event for the introduction of guns.
Planned Changes:
- Adding text to most events
- Most "What If?" events are still undone
- There are multiple minor things that have to be changed, such as fine tuning in positions.txt, correct province capitals, etc.
- Most post-Sengoku changes have not yet been added, though I have many plans for things such as sakoku, the sword hunt, kakure kirishitans, etc.
- Possibly, unit changes.
Design Notes:
- Unification probably won't take you the 120 years it did historically. I consider this to be okay, given EU3's limits. The vast majority of the Sengoku period consisted of local action at a scale that would require a much more detailed map with many more provinces to represent. This mod essentially has to skip all that and jump directly to the situation as it was in the mid-16th Century.
- I've added a couple ways of having your badboy points reduced during unification, since you're going to be doing a lot of annexing. I wanted the player to be able to unify Japan without having to worry too much about setting off a badboy war with China. These reductions are not available once Japan is unified.
- I've only played through unification twice, once as the Shimazu and once as the Oda (though I've run many more hands-off games watching the AI). Both were on normal difficulty. What I discovered in those games was that the farther from Kyoto you start, the more difficult your task is likely to be. Also, clans on Honshu have the advantage of being able to increase in size without having to build a navy.
- I don't know if it's due to the increases to Japan's manpower or the changes I made above, but in none of the games I've played or watched have Ming or Korea conquered any of Japan (though in 1 game one of the Japanese clans did conquer Korea).
- EU3 wasn't really oriented towards a scenario in which 1 province nations war, so I've had to "fight" it by providing boosts to the daimyo that would be unbalancing if given to other states. These boosts are all removed once Japan is unified/nearly unified.
- I've never used modifiers, so its possible that some of my events could be made more "elegant" through the use of them. I'll look into it.
- I have an MA in Japanese History, but my specialty is modern (post-1600) Japan. I've read all I could on this period, but I'm not an expert. Feel free to contact me if you think I've gotten something wrong.
- Once done, any modder is free to use anything I've created, provided credit is given
Information of Possible Value to Other Modders:
- added 4 new provinces (1250-1253), renaming the existing provinces (1742-1745)
- used 56 new tags: AKG, ANG, ASK, ASN, CSK, DTE, HJO, HKW, ICJ, IGW, JAG, JAK, JAN, JAS, JCK, JDT, JHJ, JHK, JIG, JIJ, JMG, JMR, JMY, JNB, JOD, JOT, JOU, JRZ, JSM, JSN, JST, JSZ, JTD, JTG, JTK, JTT, JUG, JYN, MGM, MIY, MRI, NNB, ODA, OTM, OUC, RZJ, SHN, SMZ, STM, STO, TGW, TKD, TKI, TYT, USG, YMN
- added 19 country flags: christians_expelled, daimyo_conversion, daimyo_conversion_refused, fc_notified, fc_refused, first_contact, first_contactj, house_code, kanpaku, mobilization, onin_war, shogun_puppet, shogunate_destroyed, shugo_dispute, sobujirei, sword_hunt, unification, worsened_relations, yamashiro_taken
- added 53 events, using codes: 1464-1470, 1481, 1488, 1543-1545, 1567-1570, 1573, 1574, 1585-1588, 1600-1630

Trojan.Win32.generic.e is a harmful, malicious code that is classified under the following categories: Trojan.
|Due to the complexity of this infection, we have classified it with an extremely high level of risk. If your computer has contracted Trojan.Win32.generic.e, it is essential that you take immediate steps toward tracking it down and purging it from your device. Delaying steps to secure your computer could result in serious loss of data or access to your machine.
Anti-Virus with Free Scan
Unless you are a computer and spyware expert, we strongly recommend that you use our anti-virus program to purge your computer of Trojan.Win32.generic.e. We offer a free scan of your computer that will help you to identify if it has been infected with Trojan.Win32.generic.e or any other spyware or malware.
How to Perform a Manual Removal
To manually attempt to remove all traces of Trojan.Win32.generic.e from your computer, it is necessary to first find any files, registry keys and values, and folders that are associated with Trojan.Win32.generic.e or that have become infected by it. Because this is a very complex and dangerous procedure, we cannot in any way take responsibility for problems that arise due to any changes you make to your computer. Once again, we highly recommend that you take advantage of our free scanning offer to remove Trojan.Win32.generic.e from your computer. Amateur tampering with a computer's registry and system files can often cause dangerous situations that can develop into problems that are much more serious than the original infection. Unless you are sure about what you are doing, it's much better to put the safety and efficiency of your computer in the hands of professionals. Get rid of Trojan.Win32.generic.e automatically!
Remove Files
The files and folders that have been commonly associated with Trojan.Win32.generic.e are listed below. You will need to remove each of these in order to ensure that your computer is completely free of infection by Trojan.Win32.generic.e. You may want to write down these instructions or print them out ahead of time before beginning the manual removal process.
To start the manual removal process, first boot your computer into Safe Mode. To boot into Safe Mode, restart your machine and press F8 repeatedly as it boots up. A menu should appear in the middle of the boot process offering you different boot options for your computer. Choose the one labeled Safe Mode with Networking.
Once your computer has fully booted into Safe Mode, find the following files and folders that have been associated with Trojan.Win32.generic.e:
%Documents and Settings%\[UserName]\Start Menu\ Activate.lnk
Open File Explorer and browse to the folders named in the above list. Once you have found the correct files, select them, and hold down the Shift key while pressing the Delete button. A dialog box will appear asking for your confirmation. Click Yes and the deletion process should begin.
If the entire folder has been named as being associated with Trojan.Win32.generic.e, make sure to also delete it. Before moving on to the next step, be sure to also clear the temporary internet files of your internet browser. Since the internet is probably where you first acquired Trojan.Win32.generic.e, traces of it may still be lurking in your temporary internet files.
Remove Registry
Because the Windows registry holds information that is essential to the proper running of your computer, it's important that you are absolutely sure of what you are doing before messing with it. Trojan.Win32.generic.e adds certain values to your registry to make its removal as difficult as possible. All registry keys and values associated with Trojan.Win32.generic.e must be thoroughly removed in order to purge it completely from your computer.
Click on the Run button in your Start menu. Type "regedit" into the box that appears and click Okay. In the Registry Editor that opens, select and delete the following references to Trojan.Win32.generic.e both in the Registry Key section in the left pane and in the Registry Value section on the right pane:
If this manual removal process has sounded like gibberish to you, please don't risk a serious computer crash. Take advantage of our auto-removal offer and put your computer's safety into our seasoned hands.

Real-time camera viewfinder filters in Native code
This article explains how to create real-time camera filters for Windows Phone 8, using native code (C++).
Note: This article was a winner in the Windows Phone 8 Wiki Competition 2012Q4.
Windows Phone 8
One of the big new features of Windows Phone 8 SDK is the support for C and C++, also known as native code support. In this article, we will have a brief look at how one can exploit that support to create real-time filters for the camera. For simplicity's sake, the example will implement a simple gray filter, that will convert camera input on the fly and show the result onscreen.
The demo application will look like this:
Why native filters?
Microsoft has published a very similar example, where they do live conversion of the camera viewfinder images to grayscale. The example was written for Windows Phone 7 (you can download it here), but it also works well in WP8. This works well, but the gray filter is quite simple; more complicated filters will require more computation, and the CPU is quickly maxed out when we try to process the camera input at several frames per second. The speed gain by going closer to the metal may be needed for more complex algorithms. Also, you might already have your own image filters written in C and/or C++ for other platforms, that you can reuse without converting them to C#. Finally, as we will see in other wiki entries, the native side opens further optimization possibilities, like using DirectX or the ARM Neon instruction set.
Setting up the viewfinder
Our UI will be XAML based. The UI will control everything, while the C++ side is rather dumb, simply executing the filtering when asked to. Let's first create the projects for both the XAML and the C++ components:
- Start by creating a new project, of type Windows Phone App. You will find the template under the Visual C#/Windows Phone category. That's where our UI will be coded.
- Add a new project to your solution, of type Windows Phone Runtime Component. That template is under the Visual C++/Windows Phone category. That will become our image filter.
We then add a live camera stream to our UI. That is easily done by:
- In your XAML, define a rectangle that will be painted using a VideoBrush:
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Transparent">
<Rectangle Width="640" Height="480" Canvas.ZIndex="1">
<VideoBrush x:Name="viewfinderBrush" />
- In the page loaded event, create a PhotoCaptureDevice, and set it as the source of the VideoBrush:
Windows.Foundation.Size resolution = new Windows.Foundation.Size(640, 480);
m_camera = await PhotoCaptureDevice.OpenAsync(CameraSensorLocation.Back, resolution);
By now, with these 10 lines of codes, you should have an application with a functional camera! Note that in the last step, we use the Windows PRT class Windows.Phone.Media.Capture.PhotoCaptureDevice which is new to Windows Phone 8. In WP7, one would have to use the Silverlight/.NET class Microsoft.Devices.PhotoCamera. Because it's a Win PRT class, it can be accessed by both managed and native code; we will soon take advantage of that possibility.
Displaying the filtered frames
The VideoBrush is easy to use but it doesn't offer us a way to get in-between the camera and the brush to apply our filter. We need to find another way to display the modified frames coming from the camera. Several strategies are possible, but the strategy chosen must have a reasonable camera lag (the time between the photons enters the camera until the scene is displayed on the screen) as well as a decent frame rate. Let's have a quick look at 3 possible strategies:
- Using an Image control, with WriteableBitmap as a source.
- Using a MediaElement control, with a custom MediaStreamSource as a source.
- Using a DirectX texture.
Using an Image control
This is the strategy used in the How to: Work with Grayscale in a Camera Application for Windows Phone MSDN sample. The UI control defined in XAML is:
<Image x:Name="MyCameraViewfiner" Width="640" Height="480">
The source of the Image is set to a WriteableBitmap. When the frames from the camera have been filtered, the resulting array of pixels is copied into to that WriteableBitmap.
Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(delegate() // Switch to UI thread
// Copy to WriteableBitmap.
ARGBPx.CopyTo(wb.Pixels, 0);
The problem with this is the switch to UI thread (Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke). The switch is required so that the application does not update the bitmap while the UI thread is doing something with it. Switching between threads is quite slow, and the lag associated with that solution was too high for the application.
Using a MediaElement
The MediaElement is 'the' UI control that is used for media playback, videos or audio, streamed media or from a local file. It takes care of all the buffering, audio sync and displaying logic and it's highly optimized. By defining a custom MediaStreamSource, we can feed the filtered camera frames to the MediaElement that will take care of displaying them properly.
<MediaElement x:Name="MyCameraMediaElement"
Margin="4" Width="640" Height="480" />
Defining your own MediaStreamSource requires a little bit of work, but it's all worth it. The lag with this solution is small, and the frame rate we can achieve is pretty good. This is the solution we will take into use.
Using a DirectX texture
When it comes to camera lag and performance, this is probably the best solution. However DirectX has a fairly steep learning curve, and to keep things simple we will not use it. Look over this article if you're interested in using DirectX.
Our own MediaStreamSource
To feed video frames to the MediaElement we need to define our custom MediaStreamSource. Pete Brown walks us through how this should be done in his blog. Check it out for more details, here we will only go through the big lines.
Our MediaStreamSource will define a single stream of type video (RGBA). Since our real source for video data is the camera, we have a source of infinite length and that can't be seeked. Our initialization will look like this:
mediaStreamAttributes[MediaStreamAttributeKeys.VideoFourCC] = "RGBA";
mediaStreamAttributes[MediaStreamAttributeKeys.Width] = _frameWidth.ToString();
mediaStreamAttributes[MediaStreamAttributeKeys.Height] = _frameHeight.ToString();
// a zero timespan is an infinite video
mediaSourceAttributes[MediaSourceAttributesKeys.Duration] =
// Can't seek.
mediaSourceAttributes[MediaSourceAttributesKeys.CanSeek] = false.ToString();
Whenever the MediaElement decides it needs a new video frame, it will call the GetSampleAsync() method from our MediaStreamSource.
We will implement the following sequence diagram :
To get the data of the frames coming from the camera, we will have to call to the platform functionality Windows::Phone::Media::Capture::ICameraCaptureDevice::GetPreviewBufferArgb. Let's look at its definition:
void GetPreviewBufferArgb(Platform::WriteOnlyArray<int, 1U>^ pixels)
That method fills an array of our choice with the camera data. That's a copy operation we can't avoid. The buffer is of type Platform::WriteOnlyArray, which according to the MSDN documentation, is to be used when the caller passes an array for the method to fill. We will also use that buffer type to communicate between our managed component and our native component.
The public interface of our native component will be:
public ref class WindowsPhoneRuntimeComponent sealed
void Initialize(Windows::Phone::Media::Capture::PhotoCaptureDevice^ captureDevice);
void NewViewfinderFrame( Platform::WriteOnlyArray<int,1U>^ inputBuffer,
Platform::WriteOnlyArray<uint8,1U>^ outputBuffer);
On the managed side, we allocate the inputBuffer and the outputBuffer when the application is initialized, and reuse those buffers for each frame:
_cameraData = new int[_frameWidth * _frameHeight];
_frameBufferSize = _frameWidth * _frameHeight * _framePixelSize;
_cameraFilteredData = new byte[_frameBufferSize]
Note that for this example, my data buffer is in RGBA format. It's a format easy to handle, and the most familiar for most of us. However, it is not very efficient in terms of size and image manipulation performance. Using YUV format/color space would make more sense.
That covers the big lines of the data handling of the application. I skipped the not-so-interesting code, get the source code of the full project from the link in top right corner of this page. The last thing to do is the filtering itself.
The filtering in C++
For the filtering, I took the code from Nils Pipenbrinck's excellent blog entry on Neon optimization.
void WindowsPhoneRuntimeComponent::ConvertToGrayOriginal( Platform::WriteOnlyArray<int,1U>^ frameData)
uint8 * src = (uint8 *) frameData->Data;
uint8 * dest = (uint8 *) frameData->Data;
int n = frameData->Length;
int i;
for (i=0; i<n; i++)
int r = *src++; // load red
int g = *src++; // load green
int b = *src++; // load blue
src++; //Alpha
// build weighted average:
int y = (r*77)+(g*151)+(b*28);
// undo the scale by 256 and write to memory:
*dest++ = (y>>8);
*dest++ = (y>>8);
*dest++ = (y>>8);
If you look in the project code, you will find the same filter, but optimized with the ARM Neon instruction set. I'll let you pick the one you prefer.
Wrapping it up
Hopefully this short article will help you getting started writing native filters with Windows Phone 8. Remember to always keep the performance in mind, these types of applications are very CPU intensive. Using C++ for your filters is one way to improve the performance. If the performance gain is not enough for your use cases, you might have a look at hooking your camera directly into DirectX, or optimizing your filter with Neon instructions.

Hi everyone,
My name is Rowan. I have spent the last 20 years travelling Southern Australia on foot with my pack donkeys and have now decided to settle down and do something else with the rest of my life.
I really miss the donkeys and camping but I now go out when I can and like ultra light camping (lucky the weather is mild here in Western Victoria).
Looking foreward to discussions here.

The Devonshire Building
Sustainable solar shading for science structure.
The Devonshire Building is a landmark six-storey edifice in the heart of University of Newcastle's campus and is due to become operational in April 2004. It will be home to the Institute for Research and Sustainability and the Regional E-Science Centre and is therefore a pioneering construction embracing recycled materials, renewable energy and solar power, reflecting the University's commitment to the environment.
climate responsive
Levolux were brought in to provide solar shading to the glazed southern elevation of the building. Levolux 400mm aerofoil fins were fitted to steel 'bow trusses' and are motorised to operate in banks are controlled by light sensors and a Levolux Multicontroller. The louvres are also climate responsive and allow optimisation of daylight and solar penetration according to the time of day and the season.
On the southern elevation Levolux also installed a newly designed, extruded aluminium, 'J' tread, 'walk-on' brise-soleil system, attached to the steelwork behind the aerofoils. Galvanised walkway was fitted on the north elevation.
a fluid aesthetic façade solution
Steve Halsall, project architect with The Dewjoc Partnership comments: "The prime objective to the building design was the integration of the solar shading with the façade design. Levolux took up the challenge by taking on a proactive role in the design development of the solar shading system, which has resulted in a fluid aesthetic façade solution."

Bioluminescent reporter technologies are uniquely suited for high-throughput screening due to their inherently high sensitivity, wide dynamic range and low susceptibility to compound interference. Improvement of data quality and reduction of false hits can be achieved by incorporating a control reporter (e.g., a second luciferase). Introducing both reporters into the cell on the same plasmid backbone can result in aberrant expression from cross-interference between promoters and response elements. Therefore we have developed a strategy of generating dual-luciferase stable cell lines for GPCR assays using a two-plasmid system. Plasmid one features both a firefly luciferase gene regulated by the response element of interest (e.g., CRE or NFAT-RE) and a hygromycin selectable marker. The second plasmid expresses the target GPCR (e.g., muscarinic receptor) and a Renilla luciferase-neomycin selectable marker fusion. Destabilized luciferase reporters provide significant benefit by reducing assay time, which limits the duration of cytotoxic compound interactions. Multiplexing using this dual-luciferase assay system enables rapid screening and improves data quality.

WW1 EDICIÓN LIMITADABell & Ross has created its new Vintage WW1 Edición Limitada with the idea of capturing the art of enjoying exceptional moments.
Because time is easily forgotten when you're enjoying yourself, Bell & Ross has chosen to equip its new Vintage WW1 Edición Limitada with a movement with a large power reserve. The manual winding mechanism is armed with a double barrel that provides power for up to five days of operation. On the dial, a hand that travels in a slow arc with the inscription "reserva de marcha 5 días", indicates the wearer how many days are left before the watch requires winding.

BR-X1 Carbone Forgé ®This year, still at the forefront of technological innovation, primarily originating in the aeronautical and military domains, Bell & Ross has
equipped its hypersonic chronograph with a lightweight, ultra-resistant material: Carbone Forgé® (forged carbon).
A tribute to the Bell X-1, the first American experimental plane with
a rocket engine to break the sound barrier (Mach 1, 1224 km/h) in
1947, in 2014 Bell & Ross pushed the boundaries of innovation even
further by launching its fifth-generation watch.
Its name? The BR-X1. Its special features? A high-end chronograph
with a resolutely sporty design and sophisticated haute horlogerie

BR 03 RAFALEInspired by the history of aviation and its technological advances, Bell & Ross collections pay homage to the key periods in civil and military aviation from 1900 to the present day.
The military world has always been a pioneer in numerous fields. Its innovations have had various applications in civilian life, such as the Internet, GPS or even the first business jets. Creating avantgarde technological ties between its civil and military activities, Dassault Aviation has acquired unquestionable expertise of the highest standard.
Bell & Ross and Dassault Aviation share the same passion for aviation, which guides them in their respective creations. In 2013, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Falcon business jet, Bell & Ross paid homage to the civil aviation of the 1960s by presenting the Vintage Falcon model. This year, the two companies are joining forces once again to celebrate the most successful multi-role fighter aircraft on the market: the Rafale.

Measure Where it Matters
Measure Where It Matters
Garmin has broadened its line of fitness solutions with Vector and Vector S, innovative pedal-based cycling power meters that work seamlessly with compatible Garmin devices. Power is an objective measure of your cycling performance on any given day, independent of environmental conditions or how you feel. Using a power meter like Vector allows you to gauge your training intensity with precision and perform power-based training.
The Vector system not only changes how power is measured, but also changes how cyclists get power — making it extremely easy to buy and install. It's available in a single-sensing model (Vector S) or dual-sensing model (Vector). With additional crank arm clearance — in thickness and width —Vector fits almost any bike. The standard pedal pods fit crank arms 12-15 mm in thickness and up to 44 mm in width. The large pedal pods fit crank arms 15-18 mm in thickness and up to to 44 mm in width.
Pedal-based cycling power meter
The concept behind Vector is powerfully simple — measure your power output at the pedal, where force is applied. Vector gauges the slight deflection of the pedal spindle through your entire pedal stroke, measuring the force vectors and using this data to calculate power.
The single-sensing Vector S measures forces on the left pedal only to approximate total power. On the dual-sensing Vector, the force sensors are housed in both pedals, so it can independently measure power from each leg and report total power as well as the balance between your right and left leg.
In addition to total power, Vector records cadence and a variety of power metrics, which you can see on your compatible Garmin device and in Garmin Connect™, our free online fitness community.
Some of the power metrics Vector records:
- Left/right balance (dual-sensing Vector only)
- Power: average at various time intervals
- Training Stress Score™ (TSS)
- Normalized Power™ (NP)
- Intensity Factor™ (IF)
- Total power in watts
- Overall kilojoules
- Power zones
- Torque effectiveness (TE, dual-sensing Vector only)
- Pedal smoothness (PS, dual-sensing Vector only)
Training Stress Score™ - TSS, Intensity Factor™ - IF and Normalized Power™ – NP are trademarks of Peaksware, LLC.
Cycling Dynamics
New for Q4 2014, dual-sensing Vector owners will be able to benefit from revolutionary Cycling Dynamics metrics that will measure where the power is being applied throughout the pedal stroke, where on the pedal it is being applied, and detect when the cyclist is in the seated or standing positions.
This will be made available as a free software update to all dual-sensing Vector owners.
Easy to Buy, Install, Own
In the past, owning a power meter was a complicated process and involved some mechanical tradeoffs or considerations for your bike. Vector changes all that. Now you can walk into your local bike shop, walk out with a Vector power meter in hand, and then install it yourself in minutes. It's also easy to update your Vector software as enhancements are made, and you can replace the battery (2032 coin cell) yourself.
If you are a Vector S owner and decide to upgrade to the dual-sensing Vector later to achieve direct left/right accuracy, left/right balance, and additional data features, you can simply purchase the upgrade pedal separately.
Complete suite from Garmin
When it comes to cycling gear and training tools, consistency and compatibility is important. Now you can have a total training solution from one company — from your compatible Garmin device to your Vector power meter to the post-ride analysis at Garmin Connect. You can also rely on Garmin for all device and site support, software updates, accessories and warranty support.
To guide your training with power, compatible Garmin devices offer power-based training intervals. Complete your cycling training suite with post-ride analysis, route planning, segment competition, free training plans and sharing at Garmin Connect, available with a free subscription.

We have an LGPL toolkit that isn't ass to use like gtk, runs on everything that matters, and uses two programming languages and a serialization format I prefer. I like it.
GPL, imho, isn't "software freedom". It's "software liberty"--in other words, it grants us the liberty of using code (or, liberates--makes free--that code) which would otherwise be unavailable because the modifications would not be provided back to us.
We are, of course, "Free" to use the source code which were granted access to however we want, with the "Restriction" that we must liberate the modifications we make, the same as everyone else.
Tell me father is f.e. Clang & LLVM eternal evil?
Explain to me why are you bothered by this, because in the case that Qt is released under BSD you can fork it under GPL. Really. This is the biggest mystery for me. You can always go BSD->GPL. Are you afraid that developers would chose BSD? If yes, isn't there a reason for it?
Are you afraid that some company could create a successful commercial framework from it? Well brace yourself, I've got some news for you. Qt was not created by your church, the FSF, but by Trolltech, a company (successful or not). It was the creators' good will and certainly some other reasons to provide a opensource version.
According to fsf shouldn't the LGPL they use today be worse than the old GPL release. As I understand it according to fsf you should only use LGPL if you need it to compete with some "evil" libs. Your goal should be to release libs with GPL

For software freedom, the GPL means you can't ever think about using it without staying open, but that just means a bunch of commercial entities won't look at it. In the context of the qt project itself, LGPL is great because it means anyone modifying needs to contribute back improvements (except for Digia, but if they stopped updating the LGPL qt KDE by contract gets the proprietary qt under a BSD license they can release themselves to keep it open).
Dudes; make up your minds. Either you blame me for being pro or con FSF. Not both.

A small crab hovers unharmed among the venomous tentacles of a colorful sea anemone. Though anemones are toxic, they are known to enjoy several symbiotic relationships. Some species provide safe pasture for green algae to grow and in turn receive oxygen and sugar from photosynthesis. Clownfish also dwell among the tentacles, where those messy eaters provide their anemone hosts with plentiful table scraps.

Hi: 11° Lo:-1°

AN AFFLUENT veneer is hiding real hardship in Stratford.
That is the message from the town's Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) which has helped more people than ever in the past year at its Meer Street office.
The charity, which relies heavily on volunteers to dispense free, impartial and confidential advice on a huge range of topics, helped over 5,000 clients in the past year with 14,500 different issues. Of those 5,000 related to welfare benefit and 1,500 to employment, a high percentage of which regarded redundancy.
Bureau manager Sue Green, speaking at the charity's AGM, said: "Many assume that relatively affluent communities like Stratford are almost immune to the fiscal pressures of a prolonged recession. They only see a throng of tourists and bustling activity in the High Street, but this sadly this masks a very real problem.
"There is genuine hardship here - the number of vulnerable people needing help from us due to money problems has more than doubled over the past two years. In fact, over the past 12 months or so we have handled £5 million worth of debt for our clients but in the process we've managed to save 76 households from homelessness.
"But we don't only pick up the pieces and help people get back on their feet. We're being pro-active in helping our clients be better prepared for the challenges that face them and some 1,300 people have had financial capability training from us in the past year.
"We hope that future funding can be secured to allow this pre-emptive, educational approach to become a regular feature of our armoury."
The news comes soon after calls were made by town leaders for the launch of a Food Bank to help relieve 'hidden hunger' in the district.
In August The Observer exclusively revealed Holy Trinity Church was investigating the possibility of setting up a food aid scheme after shocking statistics revealed over 2,000 households in the area were living in poverty, as defined by the government, and were struggling to get enough to eat.

$80 is a lot of money, but I would LOVE to add Sorrowful to my collection. He is one of my favorite characters from the POP cartoon.
One $80 dragon is enough. Sorrowful was never a favorite character of mine. I'm sure they are at least considering it, though.
$80 is a lot of money, but I would LOVE to add Sorrowful to my collection. He is one of my favorite characters from the POP cartoon.
Whoops - sorry didn't realize there was already a Sorrowful thread! Thanks for moving this Mods
Any support for Sorrowful in MOTUC?
I know his name has popped up in a few polls but I don't ever remember a thread dedicated to him.
With Granamyr arriving this month, I was thinking maybe Mattel could reuse some of his tooling in making a Sorrowful figure for MOTUC.
I'd buy Sorrowful. *shrug*
Signed by-- ME!
Did I ever grow up? Probably not. I'm sure the day-glo socks gave it away anyway.
I'd buy a Sorrowful for my collection...If only to have him spank Catra, heheh! It would be a cool re-use of the Granamyr body, though. His silly face would be a nice contrast to the epicness of Granamyr's awesome sculpt. Another cool dragon that would look great at this scale is the evil Shadow Wing from "Return of Granamyr"!
I figure we may see him since Granamyr was made....they won't waste that tooling for just one character.
I would take him. I love the spank Catra episode. (If he doesn't, I will) It has Bow in a dress, the way Imp says "Leech & Mantenna" & "pot -head" Adora. Classic episode that always makes me smile.
I think he has a shot because of the tooling of Granny. If they were to use Granamyr's parts, it's gotta be Sorrowful or the Manticore.
Sign me up, as long as it's outside the sub. I don't see him going over too well with the others.
The Space Mutants are missing something CRITAcal!
Chocolate and Vanilla swiiiirl. Swur-Urrl. -Crazy Eyes
They might reuse Granamyr's buck for them, but since they [mis]engineered his legs to be a sitting figure that can't stand on its own (yet another dumb, shortsighted "design" decision of Ruben's, apparently), Shadow Wing and/or Sorrowful would need leg reengineering to make them able to stand and walk (just like they had to reengineer Procrustus's arms to add the missing biceps articulation that should've been there since Tytus and Megator to begin with).
Madrid | Lang It Yourself | Dozens | Angast, Aramesh, Aroo, Azrog, Balina, Basher, Batmek, Bone Throne, Celice, Collector, Colossor, Dark Dream, Delora, Dragosaur, Elmora, Eternos Palace, Garth, Gleedal, Granita, Hexon, Ileena, Kittrina, Majestra, Molkrom, Mortella, Ollo, Orko's Bed, Rabar, Sandipede, Schminivit, Snoob, Sumana, Tamusk, Tataran, Tic-Toc, Valtira, Wolfbat, Yog, Zilora, Zoog
I would fully endorse this character!
He would need a new upper torso, because his neck is longer than Granamyr's. Also, they could use this as an excuse to sell green granamyr, if they were to include Granamyr's head in green with Sorrowful. Even though Shadow Wing is cool, I think Sorrowful would be more diverse, and therefore a slightly better choice.
hmm, actaully looking at the Granamyr... a Sorrowful, could actaully use all of granamyrs existing parts except the head, and tail's end blued onto the tail itself.
To make him he would need a neck extention, head, and tail tip... not too bad to be possible as a big yearly item.
Might be worth mentioning it on ask matty [just make sure you say that you offer the idea free asking nothing in return].
I would buy one.

I very much doubt he'd get made, but I would definitely consider getting him if they nailed his face sculpt and made him look good (not angry or mean, but gentle). They could find a way to reuse part of Granamyr too - the wings certainly and maybe the belly area.
Also Dont Forget MorningStar, Although His Body sculpt would be "Classized", I order to Get the best reuse of parts for Granymer.
anyone know how well granamyr sold ? I would also like to see a Sorrowful re-use from him .
I would totally be down for Sorrowful. Maybe they could toss a few accessories in with him as well since he would really only need a new neck and head
I'd love a Sorrowful figure!

Washington, DC —
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility announced today that its award winning, interactive Alcohol 101 Plus™ program designed to help college students make safe and responsible decisions about alcohol, is now available in a new online format at www.alcohol101plus.org. For over a decade, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility has assisted colleges and universities with innovative strategies for alcohol education. In its previous CD-ROM format, Alcohol 101 Plus™ materials have been distributed to over 2,500 colleges and universities nationwide.
Set on a virtual campus, this program features contents designed to address the problems of specific at-risk populations in college settings: freshmen, Greeks, student-athletes and judicial policy offenders. Each segment explores special issues and decisions regarding alcohol, for students in each of these groups. Through interactive video scenarios users have the opportunity to make virtual decisions for virtual characters. Alcohol 101 Plus™ is a safe environment which allows users to see the consequences of their decisions and offers the chance to try again -- unlike real life.
In addition to the original contents, Alcohol 101 Plus™ online features the B4Udrink tutorial which provides the user with the opportunity to learn important information about how alcohol can affect their body, friends, and campus life.
The program also offers educators the following complementary tools: online pre- and post- surveys for students, access to test results, and downloadable educational materials including a Facilitator's Guide with learning objectives and recommended activities for each content section of the program. In order to access these tools, educators can register, free of charge, at www.alcohol101plus.org.
Developed by The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by America's leading distillers: Bacardi U.S.A., Inc.; Brown-Forman; Constellation Brands, Inc.; DIAGEO; Future Brands LLC; Hood River Distillers, Inc; and Sidney Frank Importing Co. Inc. Alcohol 101 Plus™ is available free of charge to all colleges and universities across the country.
"It is essential that every single college have access to this educational tool, designed to help students make safe and responsible decisions about alcohol. Now that The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility has made Alcohol 101 Plus™ available online and free of charge, it'€™s entirely possible," said Susan Molinari, Chairman of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. "The fact that 85% of college students report consuming alcohol in the past year is a fact of college life that must be countered with effective education. By systematically incorporating this website in orientation programs, fraternity gatherings and athletic programs, we hope to have a significant influence on students' ability to make safe and responsible decisions about alcohol."
The creation of Alcohol 101 Plus™ brought about the broadest alcohol industry-government partnership designed to prevent the misuse of alcohol on college campuses including the U.S. Department of Education; National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Additionally, more than 50 on-campus practitioners, student focus groups, as well as representatives from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and The BACCHUS and GAMMA Peer Education Network.
"College administrators across the nation state that confronting alcohol abuse is one of their top priorities. Alcohol 101 Plus™ is an important tool that helps to address this significant problem on campus. Alcohol 101 Plus™ helps campus leaders with cost-effective strategies to help shape behaviors in positive directions. This resource promotes dialog, engages students, and connects them to resources; further, through discussions using its companion Facilitator's Guide, numerous members of the campus community can join together to promote healthier campus environments," said David S. Anderson, Ph.D., Director, Center for the Advancement of Public Health, College of Education and Human Development, George Mason University. "I hope college Presidents and other college administrators will embrace Alcohol 101 Plus™ and include it in their alcohol education efforts."
