Music Association #1
Hello, everyone!
Thought I'd try something different with the "word association" threads. It would work the same way (what first comes to mind for you), except that it would have to be song-oriented (i.e. "Hello" from Lionel Richie might lead you to "Hello Goodbye" from the Beatles, etc.).
I'll start with "Goodbye" from Night Ranger www.youtube.com
God bless,

Researchers develop a novel passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) method for the automated detection of chimpanzees and two monkey species
Traditionally, censusing of wild primates has been conducted using transect methodology where teams of human surveyors walk kilometers of line transects to collect data on primate sightings and vocalizations. Motivated by the increasing availability of cost-efficient audio-visual technologies, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, and the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology (IDMT) in Ilmenau, investigated to what extent autonomous recording devices, combined with an automated data processing approach, could be used to monitor wild forest primates. To achieve this goal they used an interdisciplinary team of sound engineers, biomonitoring specialists, statisticians, and primate vocalization experts.
The critically endangered Cross River gorilla inhabits a region of high biodiversity on the border of Nigeria and Cameroon but has been poorly studied due the rugged terrain they inhabit, their cryptic behaviour and low population densities. We used scat detecting dogs to find gorilla feces for genetic analyses at two sites in Cameroon and compared the effectiveness of dog- andhuman-directed searches. Dog-directed surveys resulted in more reliable population estimates. To realize the full potential of dog-directed surveys and increase cost-effectiveness, dog-detection teams should be based in the countries of operation and the dog detection targets should be expanded.

Die 14. Konferenz der Gesellschaft für Primatologie (GfP) findet vom 11.-13. Februar 2015 am Max Planck Institut für evolutionäre Anthropologie und an der Universität Leipzig statt.
Die Fachtagung der Gesellschaft für Primatologie findet im zweijährigen Turnus statt und versammelt etwa 150 national und international tätige Affenforscher und Naturschützer. Ziel der Tagung ist es, den wissenschaftlichen Austausch zwischen Primatologen aller Bereiche und mit unterschiedlicher Berufserfahrung zu fördern. Ab dem 09. Februar und während der Tagung können auch Bilder bestaunt werden, die von Schimpansen gemalt wurden. Diese Bilder stammen aus dem Nachlass von Prof. Robert Glaser.
Chimpanzees modify their food calls with respect to tree size for a high valued fruit species.
The vocalization capabilities of our closest living relatives, the great apes, often pale in comparison to their flexible gestural repertoire. However, the vast majority of literature on great ape communication, gestural and vocal, comes from studies conducted in captivity where the surrounding environment is vastly different from the socio-ecological context in which wild apes naturally communicate. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, have now investigated a specific call type, the chimpanzee food call, which has already been shown to be produced solely during a foraging context, and a study in captivity has also provided evidence for the call being functionally referential to conspecifics.
Wild chimpanzees select nut-cracking tools taking account of up to five different factors
Are chimpanzees sensitive to the effect of an object's properties on nut-cracking efficiency and plan their tool selection accordingly? An international team of researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, has now investigated the selection of hammers used for cracking Coula edulis nuts by wild chimpanzees in the Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire, taking into account the availability of potential tools at the site and time at which each tool selection episode occurred. The researchers found that wild chimpanzees select the optimal tool for the task at hand by considering several variables and conditions at once, including the weight, the material and the hardness of the hammer, the location of the anvil and whether they needed to transport it over a distance.
Information on socio-economic development processes and their impact on the biodiversity in tropical Africa need to be taken into consideration when it comes to designing effective conservation strategies. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, have now investigated the links between human well-being and biodiversity protection in Liberia, West Africa.
Wild chimpanzees plan their breakfast time, type and location
How do our close relatives, the chimpanzees, acquire sufficient food when times are lean? By studying wild chimpanzees in the Taï National Park in Côte d'Ivoire researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, provide a clear example of how great apes can acquire extra energy needed to maintain large, costly brains. They show that chimpanzees make their sleeping nests more en route to breakfast sites containing fruits that are more competed for by other daytime fruit-eaters than other fruits. Moreover, the researchers found that they leave their nest earlier (and often in the dark when leopards are more likely to attack) for these fruits in order to arrive before others, especially when the breakfast sites were far away.
Liberia is home to the second largest chimpanzee population in West Africa
When Liberia enters the news it is usually in the context of civil war, economic crisis, poverty or a disease outbreak such as the recent emergence of Ebola in West Africa. Liberia's status as a biodiversity hotspot and the fact that it is home to some of the last viable and threatened wildlife populations in West Africa has received little media attention in the past. This is partly because the many years of violent conflict in Liberia, from 1989 to 1997 and from 2002 to 2003, thwarted efforts of biologists to conduct biological surveys. An international research team, including scientists of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, has now counted chimpanzees and other large mammals living in Liberia. The census revealed that this country is home to 7000 chimpanzees and therefore to the second largest population of the Western subspecies of chimpanzees. As Liberia has released large areas for deforestation, the local decision-makers can now use the results of this study in order to protect the chimpanzees more effectively.
A team of interdisciplinary scientists arrived in Guinea April 2nd 2014 to investigate a possible epidemic of Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) amongst wildlife in the region were human cases occurred. In a joint mission between the Wild Chimpanzee Foundation – Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire (WCF), the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the Max-Planck-Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EVA), the Institute of Tropical Medicine and International Health (ITMIH) of Charité – University Medicine Berlin, and the National Laboratory for Agricultural Development (LANADA, Côte d'Ivoire), the team will systematically monitor wildlife around the outbreak areas.
Several thousand chimpanzees inhabit a remote forest area in the northern Democratic Republic of the Congo
With great ape populations in fast decline, it is crucial to obtain a global picture of their distribution and abundance, in order to channel and direct conservation activities to where they are most needed. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and the University of Amsterdam in The Netherlands conducted hundreds of kilometers of chimpanzee surveys at multiple sites in the Central Uele region of northern Democratic Republic of the Congo and discovered a large, continuous population of Eastern chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii). The population in the remote Bili-Gangu forest was surveyed in 2005 with line transects and again in 2012, and appears to have remained stable. The total area surveyed, which encompasses about 50,000 square kilometers, is home to several thousands of chimpanzees and, according to the researchers, should be considered a priority site for conservation of the eastern subspecies.
Chimpanzees keep track of other group members' bonding partners and use this knowledge in conflict situations
To know who your opponents' family and friends are can be of advantage in a conflict situation. Humans make predictions about other people's social relationships frequently. Whether other animals also have the cognitive skills to track their group mates' social relationships across time and beyond close kin has so far not been known. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig have now conducted playback experiments with wild-living chimpanzees from Budongo Forest in Uganda. Two hours after a subject attacked or had been attacked by an opponent, the researchers broadcast the recording of a third individual's aggressive barks from a speaker near the subject. If the call provider was their opponent's close buddy or kin, subjects looked longer and moved away more often from barks than if the call provider was not a bond partner. This shows that chimpanzees know who their group mates' kin or non-kin bond partners are and that their behavior may have an impact on them.
New documentation about the Taï chimpanzees
Please do not miss watching this new documentation (in German or French) about the Taï chimpanzees, Dr. Tobias Deschner and Adnan at ARTE: 16.01.2014 at 19:00 pm or 23.01. at 7:45 am
Chimpanzees who share their food with others have higher levels of the hormone oxytocin in their urine
The ability to form long-term cooperative relationships between unrelated individuals is one of the main reasons for human's extraordinary biological success, yet little is known about its evolution and mechanisms. The hormone oxytocin, however, plays a role in it. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, measured the urinary oxytocin levels in wild chimpanzees after food sharing and found them to be elevated in both donor and receiver compared to social feeding events without sharing. Furthermore, oxytocin levels were higher after food sharing than after grooming, another cooperative behaviour, suggesting that food sharing might play a more important role in promoting social bonding. By using the same neurobiological mechanisms, which evolved within the context of building and strengthening the mother-offspring bond during lactation, food sharing might even act as a trigger for cooperative relationships in related and unrelated adult chimpanzees.
Contrary to humans and chimpanzees bonobos retain elevated thyroid hormones well into adulthood
Despite the fact that chimpanzees and bonobos share similar starting conditions at birth they develop different behavioural patterns later in life. These differences might be caused by different hormone levels. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and the Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp in Belgium have analyzed thyroid hormones from urine samples of zoo-living chimpanzees and bonobos. They discovered that bonobos retain elevated thyroid hormone concentrations well into adulthood, whereas in humans and chimpanzees thyroid hormone concentrations decline after puberty. The late decline of thyroid hormones in bonobos might have consequences on their behaviour and might also indicate a delayed development of their mental capacities.
Searching for bountiful fruit crops in the rain forest, chimpanzees remember past feeding experiences
Where do you go when the fruits in your favourite food tree are gone and you don't know which other tree has produced new fruit yet? An international team of researchers, led by Karline Janmaat from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, studied whether chimpanzees aim their travel to particular rainforest trees to check for fruit and how they increase their chances of discovering bountiful fruit crops. The scientists found that chimpanzees use long-term memory of the size and location of fruit trees and remember feeding experiences from previous seasons using a memory window which can be two months to three years ago.
In bonobos, attractive females are more likely to win conflicts against males
Female social dominance over males is rare among mammal species. Bonobos, one of our closest living relatives, are known for females holding relatively high social statuses when compared to males; though this is puzzling as the males are often bigger and stronger than the females. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, have now analyzed the dominance relations between male and female wild bonobos and took particular interest in the high social status ranking of some females. The result: It is not female alliances that help females win conflicts. The context of the conflict does not seem to be relevant for its outcome either. Instead, the attractiveness of females plays an important role. If females display sexually attractive attributes, including sexual swellings, they win conflicts with males more easily, with the males behaving in a less aggressive way.
Researchers found that adult wild chimpanzees have developed a certain immunity against malaria parasites
Wild great apes are widely infected with malaria parasites. Yet, nothing is known about the biology of these infections in the wild. Using faecal samples collected from wild chimpanzees, an international team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig and the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin has now investigated the effect of the animals' age on malaria parasite detection rates. The data show a strong association between age and malaria parasite positivity, with significantly lower detection rates in adult chimpanzees. This suggests that, as in humans, individuals reaching adulthood have mounted an effective protective immunity against malaria parasites.
Chimpanzees use Botanical Skills to Discover Fruit
Fruit-eating animals are known to use their spatial memory to relocate fruit, yet, it is unclear how they manage to find fruit in the first place. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, have now investigated which strategies chimpanzees in the Taï National Park in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa, use in order to find fruit in the rain forest. The result: Chimpanzees know that trees of certain species produce fruit simultaneously and use this botanical knowledge during their daily search for fruit.
Max Planck researchers find stable isotope evidence of meat eating and hunting specialization in adult male chimpanzees
Observations of hunting and meat eating in our closest living relatives, chimpanzees, suggest that regular inclusion of meat in the diet is not a characteristic unique to Homo. Wild chimpanzees are known to consume vertebrate meat, but its actual dietary contribution is often unknown. Constraints on continual direct observation throughout the entire hunting season mean that behavioural observations are limited in their ability to accurately quantify meat consumption. An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, has now compared stable isotope data of wild chimpanzee hair keratin and bone collagen with behavioural observations and found that, in chimpanzees, hunting and meat-eating is male-dominated. These new results support previous behavioural observations of chimpanzees in Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire.
Taï chimpanzees featured in Hollywood movie

Green Vale's Latin Students Excel on National ExamThree Gold Medals Earned in Eighth GradeApril 25, 2012
At a School assembly on April 25, twenty Green Vale School students were honored for the scores they earned on this year's National Latin Exam.
In grade 7, Christian Barakat, Julian Coleman, Julianne Cottone, Addison Dolido, John William Doran, Peter Fornell, Elizabeth Gherlone and Alexander Margotta scored above the national average on the Introduction to Latin exam and earned Certificates of Achievement. Additionally, Elinor Simek earned a Purple Ribbon and Certificate for Outstanding Achievement, as she scored 38 out of 40.
In grade 8, students took the Latin I exam and notable scores above the national average of 28 were earned by Katherine Heaney who received honors cum laude and Charlotte Albert, Isabelle Lewis, William Shea and Jack Zerilli, who received Magna Cum Laude. Andrew Gulotta, Claire McDonnell and Louis Morledge each earned Silver Medals and received honors Maxima Cum Laude. Last but not least, Stephanie de Lesseps, Christian Mandrakos and Robert Parker led the eigth grade with the highest honors, Summa Cum Laude, bringing home three gold medals!
Latin is taken as a sixth subject by middle school students at The Green Vale School and is currently taught by the oldest and the youngest teachers on campus – Bill Simonds (Class of '58) and John Felicano, who was born in 1985. Mr. Simonds shared this, "More than 148,000 Latin scholars from all 50 states and 13 foreign countries participate in the National Latin Exam, making it a remarkable challenge. Each of our students have proved that labor omnia vincit (work conquers all)."
Mr. Feliciano added, "I encourage students to take Latin because it is fun and useful. It is something of a code begging to be cracked and once it is, students are able to communicate with ancient authors, who in their writings were trying to navigate through life by asking many of the same questions that we are faced with today. Latin is a rich source of literature and studying the poetry, prose, history, mythology and philosophy forces students to analyze issues with a critical eye, and ask the how and why questions that they need to ask."
Mastery of Latin is one of many traditions at Green Vale that have helped prepare graduates to succeed at some of the finest and most challenging high schools and universities in the country. For more information about Green Vale please visit greenvaleschool.org, or call the Admissions Office at 516-628-5146.

Still no installer that can set you up with a desktop?
Phoronix: Arch 2012.11.01 Switches To Linux 3.6 Kernel
The Arch Linux project has shipped their monthly install media update for the distribution that's popular with Linux enthusiasts...
Still no installer that can set you up with a desktop?
kde" didn't work for you? That would automatically take your system from base install to full KDE.
I blame the system, not the user ;-)
All rolling, very recent packages. The first too are pretty much Arch, but a bit pre-configured you could say. They both get you a desktop after install.
There's likely more, but I don't remember now. I think Manjaro have their own repos and do a little bit more testing than Arch(but it's still bleeding edge).

[edit] Introduction
Windows Phone 8 offers the developer the option to create a Direct3D XAML interop application where the developer can combine Direct3D graphics with XAML interface. We are going to take a quick look at the Visual Studio 2012 Direct3D XAML Application template and make a small example on how to make the XAML/C# side of the application interact with the C++/Direct3D side. Possible uses for a Direct3D XAML application could for example be games where the developer wants to create the UI and game controls with XAML, or a smart app where some more high quality graphics are required.
At the end of this article we will have an example built on the template in which XAML UI buttons control the color and rotation direction of a Direct3D rendered cube (which is already implemented in the template).
[edit] Prerequisites
It's recommended that before you read this article you have a basic understanding of Windows Phone Application development. Basic understanding of Direct3D is also recommended.
[edit] Visual Studio Direct3D XAML Application Template
The D3D XAML app template in Visual Studio can be created from File || New Project... || Templates || Visual C# || Windows Phone || Windows Phone Direct3D XAML Application. In this example the name Direct3DXamlApp2 is used for the solution.
In it's default state the solution has two projects:
- Direct3DXamlApp2: A XAML/C# project similar to a normal Windows Phone Application project. It has all the .xaml ui design files and the .cs files corresponding to those.
- Direct3DXamlApp2Comp: Contains the Direct3D C++ files needed to set up and render Direct3D graphics. The contents are similar to the Native C++ Direct3D template contents.
The basic functionality between these two projects is that the -Comp project code creates a DrawingSurface object which can then be used as an XAML element in the XAML/C# project and can be modified the same way (for example resized and applied to a grid) as a normal XAML UI element. Other XAML elements, such as buttons and texts can be placed on top of the DrawingSurface element.
[edit] Example: Adding XAML Buttons to Control the Direct3D Rendered Cube
Next we are going to add some modifications to the template to showcase the interaction between XAML/C# and C++.
[edit] Creating the XML UI
First off, open the MainApp.xaml-file and add two buttons to the screen, one on top of the screen and the other in the bottom. Set the top button text as "Change Rotation" and the bottom button text as "Change Color". Also change the buttons' names to rotationButton and colorButton. Finally add a Click-property to both of the buttons with rotationButton's Click-property directing to "rotationButton_Clicked" event handler and colorButton's directing to "colorButton_Clicked". We will be adding these event handlers to the C#-code later on. Here's how the UI looks in the designer window:
Alternatively you can just copy-paste this xml-code on top of the MainApp.xaml source:
FontFamily="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilyNormal}"
FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeNormal}"
Foreground="{StaticResource PhoneForegroundBrush}"
SupportedOrientations="Portrait" Orientation="Portrait"
<!--LayoutRoot is the root grid where all page content is placed-->
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Transparent"
MouseMove="LayoutRoot_MouseMove" Margin="0,115,0,0">
<DrawingSurface x:Name="DrawingSurface" Margin="0,-113,0,0" />
<Button x:Name="rotationButton" Click="rotationButton_Click" Content="Change Rotation" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,-113,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="113" Width="480"/>
<Button x:Name="colorButton" Click="colorButton_Click" Content="Change Color" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="97" Margin="10,556,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="460"/>
[edit] Adding C++ Methods
Next we will add methods to the C++ side of the application. We are going to be needing methods for changing the cube's rotation direction and for the color changing.
The C# code has a Direct3DInterop member created from the C++ class with the same name. The Direct3DInterop class then has a CubeRendeder object as a private member. To pass a command from the C# code, we need to add methods to both the Direct3DInterop class and the CubeRenderer class. In the C# code we then call the Direct3DInterop member's method which will then call the CubeRenderer member's method.
First, let's add the needed methods to CubeRenderer. We are going to call the methods ChangeRotation() and ChangeColor(). Their declarations in CubeRenderer.h look like this:
void changeRotation();
void changeColor();
We also need to add three private members: a float for the cube's rotation degrees, a boolean member for rotation direction switching and an XMFLOAT3 pointer to which we store an array of XMFLOAT3's as the cube's vertex colors.
float rotation;
boolean rotationNegative;
XMFLOAT3* cubeColors;
Now we add the methods' definitions to CubeRenderer.cpp. In the changeRotation() method we simply switch the rotation boolean. In the changeColor() method we first randomize different RGB color values and then store them into the cubeColors XMFLOAT3 array and finally we create a new D3D vertex buffer and pass the new color values to it.
void CubeRenderer::changeRotation()
rotationNegative = false;
rotationNegative = true;
void CubeRenderer::changeColor()
float r, g, b;
for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
r = (float)rand() / ((float)RAND_MAX / 255.0f);
g = (float)rand() / ((float)RAND_MAX / 255.0f);
b = (float)rand() / ((float)RAND_MAX / 255.0f);
cubeColors[i] = XMFLOAT3(r/255.0f, g/255.0f, b/255.0f);
VertexPositionColor cubeVertices[] =
{XMFLOAT3(-0.5f, -0.5f, -0.5f), cubeColors[0]},
{XMFLOAT3(-0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f), cubeColors[1]},
{XMFLOAT3(-0.5f, 0.5f, -0.5f), cubeColors[2]},
{XMFLOAT3(-0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f), cubeColors[3]},
{XMFLOAT3( 0.5f, -0.5f, -0.5f), cubeColors[4]},
{XMFLOAT3( 0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f), cubeColors[5]},
{XMFLOAT3( 0.5f, 0.5f, -0.5f), cubeColors[6]},
{XMFLOAT3( 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f), cubeColors[7]},
D3D11_SUBRESOURCE_DATA vertexBufferData = {0};
vertexBufferData.pSysMem = cubeVertices;
vertexBufferData.SysMemPitch = 0;
vertexBufferData.SysMemSlicePitch = 0;
&CD3D11_BUFFER_DESC(sizeof(cubeVertices), D3D11_BIND_VERTEX_BUFFER),
We also modify the Update() method to take account the rotation float when doing the model matrix transformation and to increase or decrease the rotation value depending on the rotationNegative boolean:
void CubeRenderer::Update(float timeTotal, float timeDelta)
XMVECTOR eye = XMVectorSet(0.0f, 0.7f, 1.5f, 0.0f);
XMVECTOR at = XMVectorSet(0.0f, -0.1f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
XMVECTOR up = XMVectorSet(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
m_constantBufferData.view = XMMatrixTranspose(XMMatrixLookAtRH(eye, at, up));
m_constantBufferData.model = XMMatrixTranspose(XMMatrixRotationY(XMConvertToRadians(rotation)));
rotation -= 1.0f;
rotation += 1.0f;
Finally, we need to make some additions to the Direct3DInterop's constructor. Here, format the three new private members and also start up the randomizing service.
CubeRenderer::CubeRenderer() :
rotation = 0.0f;
rotationNegative = false;
cubeColors = new XMFLOAT3[8];
Also, remember to add an include to <time.h> to make the rand() method work.
In the Direct3DInterop class, we are going to add two methods: ChangeCubeRotation() and ChangeCubeColor(). Go ahead and add their declarations to Direct3DInterop.h:
void ChangeCubeRotation();
void ChangeCubeColor();
In Direct3DInterop.cpp, we have the definitions for the methods. In the definitions, we only call the m_renderer member's changeRotation() and changeColor() methods which we created earlier:
void Direct3DInterop::ChangeCubeRotation()
void Direct3DInterop::ChangeCubeColor()
Those are all the additions we need to do to the C++ project. Important note: for the newly created C++ methods to become available in the C# code (like in VS auto fill), we first need to build the Direct3DXamlApp2Comp C++- project. Do this before moving to the next step.
[edit] Adding C# Code to Call C++ Methods
Last thing we need to do is to call the Direct3DInterop class methods we created earlier in the C# code. We will implement event handlers for the two XAML buttons we created and call the methods in the handlers.
Open up the MainPage.xaml.cs and add the following event handling methods for the buttons. Inside the methods we call the corresponding Direct3DInterop methods.
private void rotationButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
private void colorButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
And that's all the C# code we need to add. The application is now ready to run. When the "Change Rotation" button is clicked, the cube should change its rotation direction and when the "Change Color" button is clicked, the cube color should change into a random one.

Israeli Flag Christmas Ornaments
Personalized Christmas Ornament
The simple design of the Israeli flag is a blue Star of David in the center of a white field sandwiched between two horizontal blue stripes. The mainly white field represents innocence, peace, light and honesty while the blue symbolizes trust, intelligence, faith, truth, heaven, wisdom, confidence and loyalty. The flag of Israel was adopted in 1948 with the shield of David star symbol being widely used in medieval Prague. This personalized Israel flag ornament is a great gift for your Jewish friends who celebrate Hanukkah or a keepsake from a religious pilgrimage to Israel. You will love the high quality of this Polish glass ornament!
Material: Polish Glass

POSTED: Wednesday, December 26, 2012 - 4:00am
UPDATED: Wednesday, December 26, 2012 - 4:04am
CNN — Reality star Bethenny Frankel and her husband Jason Hoppy are parting ways.
The couple, who would have been married for three years come March, have one daughter together.
"It brings me great sadness to say that Jason and I are separating," Frankel said in a statement obtained by CNN. "This was an extremely difficult decision that, as a woman and a mother, I have to accept as the best choice for our family. We have love and respect for one another and will continue to amicably co-parent our daughter who is and will always remain our first priority. This is an immensely painful and heartbreaking time for us."
Skinnygirl founder Frankel previously shot down divorce rumors during the premiere of her "Bethenny" talk show in June.
"The truth is ... I'm in a good marriage," she said at the time. "We have issues. We are not perfect. We work on it everyday. We're committed."

Who needs Saturday mail, anyway?
Thursday, February 7, 2013
DOVER — Reaction to the announcement that the U.S. Postal Service will discontinue Saturday mail service this summer varied greatly among area residents, with some saying it was a good move for postal workers and others lamenting it would hurt their own businesses.
"I own two records stores and I rely on packages every day. I believe this change will definitely affect me," Berrios said.
Janet Perry, co-owner of Nicole's Hallmark in downtown Dover, believes something similar.
"We have been so used to the Saturday delivery for so many years, it's going to be hard to adjust. Grammy's card will have to wait to be delivered," Perry said.
Other area residents say what's done is done, and they will just have to make do.
"You can't fight the government no matter how much you try. I'll just make sure my bills are paid on time," Somersworth resident Milena Huckleberry said.
Carlene Dumont, an employee of Harvey's Bakery in Dover, believes USPS workers should have the weekends off.
"I'm for it!" she said. "A lot of people work Monday through Friday and they deserve those extra days off."
However, cessation of Saturday mail service doesn't necessarily mean a vacation for all Postal Service workers. Starting Aug. 5, the USPS will halt delivery of mail on Saturdays with the exception of packages. In doing so the agency hopes to save an estimated $2 billion annually.
"Considering it is $2 billion in the Postal Service's pocket, I understand why it is a good idea. Saturday's mail seems to be mostly junk anyways," Anderson said.
Somersworth resident Matt Kiman pointed out that the decision could potentially mean reduced staffing at the postal service.
"It's obviously going to put someone out of work," the 50-year-old said.
According to The Associated Press, the Postal Service is the linchpin of a $1 trillion mailing and mail-related industry that employs more than 8 million Americans in fields as diverse as direct mail, printing, catalog companies, magazine and newspaper publishing and paper manufacturing.
Some fear one-day-a-week cutbacks could open the door to more drastic setbacks in the future. Others predict the USPS delivery change will not affect them.
"Personally, I don't mind it. It doesn't affect me one bit," said Bernadette Cwiertniewicz, of Berwick, Maine.
"Honestly, in this economy, any savings is fantastic. I feel for the mailmen, but cutbacks are happening everywhere," she said.
The USPS has been in debt for a while now, taking in huge financial losses. According to The Associated Press, in November the USPS reported a record annual loss of $15.9 billion for the past fiscal year.
It's too early to tell how detrimental the change in Saturday mail service will be, but the prospect has Faith Mantisanti, of Somersworth, worrying that it will impact the bottom line for some residents, such those who receive paychecks in the mail.
"There are people like me struggling," she said. "Some rely on their checks every weekend. It's tough out there."

|re: Teach a man to Fish (Fark Board Beginner Questions)
Posted by vtdad on 9/7 at 8:31 pm to RattleheadJust a question...I'm gonna start trying to expand a little. Stuff like taking a pic from a youtube video and use that pic some place else. Like on the Fark board I just posted a request for someone to get a pic of a youtube video for me so I can take that pic and place a K-State fan's head on the Spartan from the movie 300. So, what should I use to do such a thing? As always Thanks for any help!

Posted by timdallinger on 9/10 at 2:33 pm to vtdadThe biggest issue is going to be image quality. Not many YouTube videos are high definition. However, you can use a screen capture. I use a program called SnagIt. It's not freeware though. I believe you can pause a video and just hit the PrintScreen key on your keyboard to save teh image to your clipboard. Then you can paste it into your photo-editting program and crop it to the correct size.
Now, you can get crisp, clean images from video using blue-ray. But that's a very high quality input (i.e. not YouTube).

Posted by worldseriesofPorker on 10/4 at 5:06 pm to WVUWhat do you do to make it appear someone is looking through a window, instead of just having the face as the top layer, along the lines of the lines of Sandusky looking in the window?
I'm using PS Elements 8.

If you have just his face as a layer, adjust the opacity until it gets hazy, you can make streaks using a 10% opacity paint brush in white to get a really nice effect. Same thing for adding glasses to someone's face.

Posted by RonFNSwanson on 10/5 at 9:55 am to WVU
There are several ways around this....
The long way would be to make the face how you like it, then copy as many times as you need then merge into each layer.
Since you have CS5, go to window and open timeline once you have all the layers you want. It opens up each layer as a frame in the gif. You can turn off and on layers from the layer window to show what you want in each frame.
Watch tutorials on youtube, it will illustrate it better.

Posted by vtdad on 10/7 at 6:29 pm to timdallingerIs there a tutorial or something on how to make a watermark? I'm still using Paintnet. Thanks guys!
Reply Back to Top
Posted by timdallinger on 10/8 at 3:52 pm to vtdad
quote:Fairly easy. A watermark is usually a semi-transparent layer added to a photograph for display purposes.
You can use a logo or specific image later but let's just address a very basic example first.
You have completed (or photographed) an image for which you would like to post online. However, you don't want people to use it without permission.
1. SAVE AN UNALTERED ORIGINAL. I'd recommend in a seperate file from your work. If you save something over the original, there is no simple way to recover it.
Now, you want to add a watermark to your image.
2. Add a trasparent layer. In Paint.net:
Layers>Add New Layer
Depending on how meticulous you are with your files, you can rename the layer "watermark."
3. Select the text tool.
4. Change the color to white.
5. Be sure you are working in your "watermark" layer. Type "Preview" in your choice of font fairly large. You want it to cover much of the image.
6. Lower the entire layer the opacity so you can see through the "watermark."
7. Merge the layer down.
Layers> Merge Layer Down
8. Save the file.
If anything is unclear, please ask and I'll do my best to elaborate. You can do this process with a logo as well but creating a logo from scratch is a little more difficult.

Posted by Jackie Chan on 10/29 at 3:22 pm to vtdadI have a few questions about gifs. I'm using gimp, but have trouble adding colors to the gifs and transparent layers. When I add colors, they usually come out much darker than they should be and I cannot make a transparent layer. I've looked for tutorials on youtube, but to no avail. Any help or links to would be appreciated.

The large color palette is what's getting you. Save it as PNG-8 or GIF.
You might have to clean up your edges a bit if you want it to show well on darker backgrounds.
You can also decrease the colors used by Posterizing or Indexing the palette.

Is kickstarter still US only + amazon payments only?
It's US only for starting a Kickstarter campaign. Anyone can pledge. But yes, it's still Amazon payments only I believe. Although some campaigns have started offering a paypal method too. Is the Amazon-only option somehow a deal breaker for you?
They both are, yes. As long as a non-US citizen can't start a campaign, I'm not supporting them (I assume kickstarter takes a % cut).
Curious why the non-US citizen part is a deal breaker for you? Lots of companies are restricted in this way. Even Googe only offers a tiny percentage of countries to use their Play Store. The logistics and expense setting up world wide must be horrific.
Is that a video rendered from in-game scripting using the built-in engine renderer featuring actually real footage, or its a promotional video made without the game?
What do they need money for?
They seem to have made big progress so far without...

A bidding war has erupted for The Quiet Man bar in County Mayo – with one prospective bar emerging from as far away as Florida.
Four serious bidders have emerged after Pat Cohan's bar, straight from the set of the iconic movie, went to market last month.
The asking price of $400,000 for the bar, made famous by the movie starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, may now be surpassed.
The Irish Independent reports that the decision to put the pub on the market has caused worldwide interest.
Auctioneer Vincent Walsh told the paper: "There was huge interest. We're now down to about four serious bidders and we are confident of the sale going through in the next couple of months."
Walsh revealed that the top bidders include three individuals from the UK and one potential buyer from Florida.
He added: "The gentleman from Florida has been over twice now to view the place and the UK interest is just as strong. There is one individual from London who has also shown a lot of interest.
"All buyers are eager to continue running the rural pub."
The bar was originally a shop but Quiet Man director John Ford turned into a typical Irish pub for the 1952 movie.
It only gained a bar licence in 2008 after many years as a family-run shop in an area which attracts thousands of tourists from both sides of the Atlantic every year.
A right-of-way issue will have to be resolved before the sale goes through however.
Walsh added: "I could see it taking eight weeks to correct. There is no dispute involved but it has to be legally corrected."
