The aim of this dissertation is threefold. We begin by the study of two parallel ideal cosmic strings in the presence of non-minimal scalar fields and spin- 1 gauge fields. We show that the contributions of the non-minimal term on the interaction energy between the strings are similar to that of the gauge field for a particular value of non-minimal coupling parameter. In this context we clarify some of the issues that arise when comparing the renormalization of black hole entropy and entanglement entropy using the replica trick. In the second part of the dissertation we study the process of bound state formation in clusters of Dp- brane collision and Dp shell/ Membrane collapse processes. We consider two mechanisms for bound state formation. The first, operative at weak coupling in the worldvolume gauge theory, is creation of W-bosons. The second, operative at strong coupling, corresponds to formation of a black hole in the dual supergravity. These two processes agree qualitatively at intermediate coupling, in accord with the correspondence principle of Horowitz and Polchinski. We show that the size of the bound state and timescale for formation of a bound state agree at the correspondence point, along with other relevant thermodynamic quantities. The timescale involves matching a parametric resonance in the gauge theory to a quasinormal mode in supergravity. Finally we study construction of local operators in AdS using the generalized AdS/ CFT correspondence. After briefly sketching previous works on this topic which involve massless and massive scalar fields, we present similar construction for spin- 1 and spin- 2 gauge fields. Working in holographic gauge in the bulk, at leading order in 1/N bulk gauge fields are obtained by smearing boundary currents over a sphere on the complexified boundary, while linearized metric fluctuations are obtained by smearing the boundary stress tensor over a ball. This representation respects AdS covariance up to a compensating gauge transformation. We also consider massive vector fields, where the bulk field is obtained by smearing a non-conserved current. We compute bulk two-point functions and show that bulk locality is respected. We show how to include interactions of massive vectors using 1/N perturbation theory, and we comment on the issue of general backgrounds. We point out some more recent works on interacting scalar and gauge fields and try to answer the question of what should be the CFT properties to have a dual gravitational descriptions on AdS space. We end with some speculations about finite N and when we have black holes in the bulk.
Human motion contains information like written or spoken language. Contemporary camera and computer technologies capture this information for gaming, animation, medical diagnostics and robotic control. In this thesis we model human performance recorded with motion capture and video. Beginning with a kinematic chain model of the human body we generate a metric for comparing different states of skeletal articulation. Applying this measure over motion data time series generates similarity spectra from which we identify and characterize body motions. We use the results to model the subject's underlying movement vocabulary with a network of connected recordings called a motion graph. We construct a set of motion graphs from video data and by assigning variable transition probabilities between recorded movement sequences we model the purposeful subject as a stochastic traversal process on the motion graph. Finally we present the application of a non-anatomical kinematic chain model to video data and derive the accompanying distance metrics. We discuss the results and possible applications of these techniques.
This thesis describes the measurement and analysis of the transmission matrix (TM) for microwave radiation propagating through multichannel random waveguides in the crossover to Anderson localization. Eigenvalues of the transmission matrix and the associated eigenchannels are obtained via a singular value decomposition of the TM. The sum of the transmission eigenvalues yields the transmittance T, which is the classical analog of the dimensionless conductance g. The dimensionless conductance g is the electronic conductance in units of the quantum conductance, G/(e^2/h). For diffusive waves g>1, approximately g transmission eigenchannels contribute appreciably to the transmittance T. In contrast, for localized waves with g<1, T is dominated by the highest transmission eigenvalue, &tau&1. For localized waves, the inverse of the localization lengths of different eigenchannels are found to be equally spaced. Measurement of the TM allows us to explore the statistics of the transmittance T. A one-sided log-normal distribution of T is found for a random ensemble with your g=0.37 and explained using an intuitive Coulomb gas model for the transmission eigenvalues. Single parameter scaling (SPS) predicted for one dimension random system is approached in multichannel systems once T is dominated by a single transmission eigenchannel. In addition to the statistics of the TM for ensembles of random samples, we investigated the statistics of a single TM. The statistics within a large single TM are found to depend upon a single parameter, the eigenchannel participation number, M. The variance of the total transmission normalized by its averaging in the TM is equal to M-1. We found universal fluctuation of M, reminiscent of the well known universal conductance fluctuations for diffusive waves. We demonstrate focusing of steady state and pulse transmission through a random medium via phase conjugation of the TM. The contrast between the focus and the background is determined by M and the size of the transmission matrix N. The spatio-temporal profile of focused radiation in the diffusive limit is shown to be the square of the field-field correlation function in space and time. We determine the density of states (DOS) of a disordered medium from the dynamics of transmission eigenchannels and from the quasi-normal modes of the medium for localized samples. The intensity profile of each eigenchannel within the random media is closely linked to the dynamics of transmission eigenchannels and an analytical expression for intensity profile of each of the eigenchannel based on numerical simulation was provided.
In this Thesis the self-consistent computational methods are applied to the study of the optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures with one- and two-dimensional quantum confinements. At first, the self-consistent Schrodinger-Poisson system of equations is applied to the cylindrical core-shell structure with type~II band alignment without direct Coulomb interaction between carriers. The electron and hole states and confining potential are obtained from a numerical solution of this system. The photoluminescence kinetics is theoretically analyzed, with the nanostructure size dispersion taken into account. The results are applied to the radiative recombination in the system of ZnTe/ZnSe stacked quantum dots. A good agreement with both continuous wave and time-resolved experimental observations is found. It is shown that size distribution results in the photoluminescence decay that has essentially non-exponential behavior even at the tail of the decay where the carrier lifetime is almost the same due to slowly changing overlap of the electron and hole wavefunctions. Also, a model situation applicable to colloidal core-shell nanowires is investigated and discussed. With respect to the excitons in type I quantum wells, a new computationally efficient and flexible approach of calculating the characteristics of excitons, based on a self-consistent variational treatment of the electron-hole Coulomb interaction, is developed. In this approach, a system of self-consistent equations describing the motion of an electron-hole pair is derived. The motion in the growth direction of the quantum well is separated from the in-plane motion, but each of them occurs in modified potentials found self-consistently. This approach is applied to a shallow quantum well with the delta-potential profile, for which analytical expressions for the exciton binding energy and the ground state eigenfunctions are obtained, and to the quantum well with the square potential profile with several different well and barrier materials. The numerical results yield lower exciton binding energies in comparison to standard variational calculations, while the iterative scheme used to calculate the energies and respective wavefunctions is stable, rapidly convergent and requires reduced computational effort. Thus, the method can be an important computational tool in computing exciton characteristics in quantum wells exceeding currently existing approaches in accuracy and efficiency. The method can also be naturally generalized for quantum wires and dots.
This thesis describes the design, fabrication and characterization of certain nanostructures to engineer light-matter interaction. These materials have peculiar dispersion properties owing to their structural design, which is exploited to control spontaneous emission properties of emitters such as quantum dots and dye molecules. We will discuss two classes of materials based on the size of their unit cell compared to the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation they interact with. The first class are hyperbolic metamaterials (HMM) composed of alternate layers of a metal and a dielectric of thicknesses much smaller than the wave- length. Using a HMM composed of silver and titanium dioxide, we demonstrate the optical equivalent of the well-known Lifshitz transition in electronic systems. Then we describe the development of a tunable HMM whose optical properties can be tuned. The tunability is achieved by exploiting the insulator to metal phase transition in vanadium dioxide. We then discuss the second class of materials - photonic crystals, in which the size scale of the unit cell is of the order of the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation they interact with. Due to strong scattering in such systems, bandgaps open up in certain directions, which we use to modify the spontaneous emission of a fluorescent dye.
This dissertation considers the theory of scalar fields on fuzzy spaces from the point of view of random matrices. First we define random matrix ensembles, which are natural description of such theory. These ensembles are new and the novel feature is a presence of kinetic term in the probability measure, which couples the random matrix to a set of external matrices and thus breaks the original symmetry. Considering the case of a free field ensemble, which is generalization of a Gaussian matrix ensemble, we develop a technique to compute expectation values of the observables of the theory based on explicit Wick contractions and we write down recursion rules for these. We show that the eigenvalue distribution of the random matrix follows the Wigner semicircle distribution with a rescaled radius. We also compute distributions of the matrix Laplacian of the random matrix given by the new term and demonstrate that the eigenvalues of these two matrices are correlated. We demonstrate the robustness of the method by computing expectation values and distributions for more complicated observables. We then consider the ensemble corresponding to an interacting field theory, with a quartic interaction. We use the same method to compute the distribution of the eigenvalues and show that the presence of the kinetic terms rescales the distribution given by the original theory, which is a polynomially deformed Wigner semicircle. We compute the eigenvalue distribution of the matrix Laplacian and the joint distribution up to second order in the correlation and we show that the correlation between the two changes from the free field case. Finally, as an application of these results, we compute the phase diagram of the fuzzy scalar field theory, we find multiscaling which stabilizes this diagram in the limit of large matrices and compare it with the results obtained numerically and by considering the kinetic part as a perturbation.
Bacterial tyrosine kinases (BY-kinases) play a central role in a variety of physiological processes in bacterial cells. Most notable among these processes is the formation of antiphagocytic capsule and biofilm for survival under environmental stress conditions. BY-kinases constitute a unique class of prokaryotic enzymes sharing no sequence or structural homology with their eukaryal counterparts. BY-kinases are regulated by eukaryotic-like protein tyrosine phosphatases and several tyrosine kinase/phosphatase pairs, which have been identified in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial species. The Escherichia coli (K12) BY-kinase Wzc is regulated by a cytosolic Low Molecular Weight Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (LMW-PTP) Wzb through the autophosphorylation/dephosphorylation of five phosphorylatable tyrosine residues (termed the tyrosine cluster, YC) located in the C-terminal tail of the cytosolic catalytic domain of Wzc. The cycling between autophosphorylated form of Wzc and the Wzb-catalyzed dephosphorylated state, rather than the quantitative phosphorylation state of the YC, appears to play a central role in the synthesis and export of the exopolysaccharide, colanic acid. Despite biochemical evidence that Wzb dephosphorylates YC-phosphorylated Wzc, the nature of the interactions between these two enzymes and the detailed regulatory mechanism has not been elucidated. The aim of this research was to identify the structural, dynamic and mechanistic aspects of the regulation of Wzc by Wzb. We used state-of-the-art solution-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques in order to illuminate the interaction between Wzc and Wzb. We have obtained near-complete resonance assignments of the catalytic domain of Wzc, the first for a BY-kinase. Utilizing these assignments and chemical shift titrations, we demonstrate that Wzb prevents oligomerization of Wzc by occluding its intramolecular interaction surface, that lies on the opposite face to that housing the Wzc catalytic site, thus facilitating the dephosphorylation of the exposed YC. The YC would be buried, and shielded from Wzb, in oligomeric Wzc. Similar chemical shift titrations on Wzb reveals that Wzc docks onto Wzb using a site proximal to the catalytic site of the latter. NMR spin-relaxation measurements confirm this hypothesis in addition to revealing interesting dynamics in the key regulatory elements in Wzc and Wzb.
Abstract Magnetic Resonance Studies of Energy Storage Materials by Rafael Vázquez Reina Adviser: Professor Steven G. Greenbaum In today's society there is high demand to have access to energy for portable devices in different forms. Capacitors with high performance in small package to achieve high charge/discharge rates, and batteries with their ability to store electricity and make energy mobile are part of this demand. The types of internal dielectric material strongly affect the characteristics of a capacitor, and its applications. In a battery, the choice of the electrolyte plays an important role in the Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) formation, and the cathode material for high output voltage. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy are research techniques that exploit the magnetic properties of the electron and certain atomic nuclei to determine physical and chemical properties of the atoms or molecules in which they are contained. Both EPR and NMR spectroscopy technique can yield meaningful structural and dynamic information. Three different projects are discussed in this dissertation. First, High energy density capacitors where EPR measurements described herein provide an insight into structural and chemical differences in the dielectric material of a capacitor. Next, as the second project, Electrolyte solutions where an oxygen-17 NMR study has been employed to assess the degree of preferential solvation of Li+ ions in binary mixtures of EC (ethylene carbonate) and DMC (dimethyl carbonate) containing LiPF6 (lithium hexafluo- rophosphate) which may be ultimately related to the SEI formation mechanism. The third project was to study Bismuth fluoride as cathode material for rechargeable batteries. The objective was to study 19F and 7Li MAS NMR of some nanocomposite cathode materials as a conversion reaction occurring during lithiation and delithation of the BiF3/C nanocomposite.
This thesis studies the two fundamental mechanisms of bacterial evolution — horizontal gene transfer and spontaneous mutation, in the bacterium Escherichia coli through novel experimental assays and mathematical simulations. First, I will develop a growth assay utilizing the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to provide real-time enumeration of genetic marker abundance within bacterial populations. Second, I will focus on horizontal gene transfer in E. coli occurring through a process called conjugation. By fitting the qPCR data to a resource limited, logistic growth model, I will obtain estimated values of several key parameters governing the dynamics of DNA transfer through conjugation under two different conditions: i) in the absence of selection; ii) in the presence of negative selection pressure — bacteriophage infection. Last, I will investigate spontaneous mutation through qPCR assay of competition between wild-type and mutator phenotype E. coli. Mutator phenotype has an elevated mutation rate due to defects in DNA proofreading and repairing system. By introducing antibiotic selective pressure, I will examine the fixation probability of mutators competing with wild-type in novel environment. I also will utilize simulations to study the impact of three parameters on the fixation probability.
The application of concepts from equilibrium statistical mechanics to out of equilibrium systems has a long history of describing diverse systems ranging from glasses to granular materials. These systems are considered "complex" since equilibrium statistics is insufficient in its attempt to describe the system dynamics. An appealing approach for understanding these complex systems is to study the properties of the system's "potential energy landscape" (PEL), described by the 3N-coordinates of all particles in the multi-dimensional configuration space, or landscape, of the potential energy of the system (N is the number of particles). For dissipative jammed systems- granular materials or droplets- a key concept introduced by S. Edwards in 1989 is to replace the energy ensemble describing conservative systems by the volume ensemble. However, this approach is no able to describe the jamming critical point (J-point) for deformable particles like emulsions, whose geometric configurations are influenced by the applied external stress. Therefore, the volume ensemble requires augmentation by the ensemble of stresses. Just as volume fluctuations in the Edwards ensemble can be described by compactivity, the stress fluctuations give rise to an angoricity, another analogue of temperature in equilibrium systems. In this Thesis, we test the combined volume-stress ensemble for granular matter by comparing the statistical properties of jammed configurations obtained by dynamics with those averaged over the ensemble as a test of ergodicity. Agreement between both methods suggests the idea of "thermalization" at a given angoricity and compactivity. These intensive variables elucidate the thermodynamic order of the jamming phase transition by showing the absence of critical fluctuations above jamming in static observables like pressure and volume. Our results demonstrate the possibility of calculating important observables such as the entropy, volume, pressure, coordination number and the distribution of interparticle forces to fully characterize the scaling laws near the jamming transition from a statistical mechanics point of view. We also study the energy-landscape network. We find the stable basins and the first order saddles connecting them, and identify them with the network nodes and links, respectively. We analyze the network properties and model the system's evolution.

Steam Codes and Countdowns - 'something for nothing'
- https://blog.malware...and-countdowns/
March 26, 2015 - "... 'something for nothing' makes a reappearance in the land of -gaming- with a twist designed to get would-be winners sending messages to their online friends as fast as they possibly can. The site we're going to examine is located at: steamcode(dot)org
... which claims they have $20 Steam Codes to give away, as the "We're the people who give away free $20 Steam Codes!" makes clear on the frontpage. We could have an interesting philosophical debate about when free means free, but we could also just chalk it up as "free, as long as you send some links and fill in a bunch of stuff". Here's the nicely designed frontpage:
> https://blog.malware...5/03/stmcd1.jpg
Clicking the button reveals two things – a tantalizing glimpse of half a code, and the reveal that you must share a link with 15 people in 45 minutes or else the code will expire. If you don't have Under Pressure on your playlist, you might want to go dig it out now:
> https://blog.malware...5/03/stmcd2.jpg
Sites don't normally place a timer on link sending, because not many people immediately whip out a list of likely candidates to start spamming when confronted with a rapidly diminishing timer. Indeed, start quickfiring identikit messages to all and sundry and you may find more than a few of them either think you've been hacked or turned into a spambot for the day. Should the required amount of referrals be reached, the end result is a selection of survey pages for the would-be $20 code recipient... There's -no- guarantee the full code will be released even with a completed survey – the only person who has anything to lose in this situation is the individual filling in whatever forms are presented, working on the basis that they're simply hoping the website will hand over a code at the end of the process. Freebie sites offering up items such as vouchers, gift cards and game codes typically resort to surveys at some point in the chain – it's just how they roll. Displaying a portion of the code and adding in a time sensitive instruction to send URLs to all and sundry focuses on the "So near, yet so far" pressure point, and is a great way to ensure people desperate for free game codes start yelling "How high?" before jumping."

Hill Country Live Presents
Shinyribs (featuring Kevin Russell of The Gourds)
Hill Country DC
410 7th St. NW
Washington, DC, 20004
"There are two kinds of people in Texas - those that got West Texas Dust, and those that got East Texas Rust. You got both of 'em!" - Doug Sahm to Kevin Russell
Hey, we all know Kevin "Shinyribs" Russell is a loose cannon. How else to explain covers of R. Kelly's "Feelin' on Yo Booty," and Elvis Costello's Indoor Fireworks" in the same night. Most folks who follow such things consider his outfit, The Gourds, one of the best live bands in the land, in large part because of Russell's brazen eccentricities and creative syntax.
However, the most overlooked thing about Russell is that when he plays it straight - as he does for most of his latest Shinyribs record Well After Awhile - the man can produce some of the funkiest and most beautiful roots music on the planet. It's not to say the "psycholiteranaut w/8 AA batteries-tweed facade-equal parts Waylon Jennings,Robert Rauschenberg and Harvey Korman" (to quote his Twitter feed) doesn't dig into his bag of twistedness here (witness "Poor People's Store"). But a listen to the straight-up duet "Shores Of Galilee" (with Sally Allen), the sweet quasi-fable "Who Built The Moon," or the intimate cover of Sam Cooke's "Change Gonna Come" that closes the record, shows that even when Russell puts aside some of the tricks, he delivers grade-A Country Soul.
For dinner reservations, please phone 202 556-2050, and ask to be seated on the club level for the show.

Hawks top Jets 4-1 in rematch
CHICAGO — If this was a football game, the Chicago Blackhawks would have been accused of having the Winnipeg Jets' playbook.
The Hawks were everywhere the Jets wanted to go on Wednesday night and the feast on the Winnipeg mistakes continued with a convincing 4-1 victory before 21,112 at the United Center.
Chicago trounced the Jets 5-1 last Saturday in Winnipeg.
"They had a good game plan and we weren't able to create ways to get around them," said Jets right-winger Blake Wheeler. "When they do that, it makes it really tough.
"I think they put a lot of pressure on you to be extremely smart with the puck and even when you're smart with the puck, you've got to have good support and if you don't have good support they get the puck back and they're probably the best in the NHL at transitioning. You see a bobbled pass, anything, and they're off to the races."
The Hawks were off with goals by Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane in the final 2:31 of the first period — Kane's goal came with just 5.8 seconds left in the period — to get control of this game.
Brandon Pirri and Patrick Sharp made it 4-0 by early in the third before Devin Setoguchi ruined Corey Crawford's shutout with 11:20 to play.
Chicago's now 10-2-4, and a perfect 2-0 against the Jets this season.
Jets coach Claude Noel said observers are way too tuned into Chicago's great transition game at times.
"They don't only need transition," Noel said. "Look at Sharp's goal. Turnover on the wall, dot, boom, top shelf. They can hurt you not only in transition but pick your poison. You have to manage the puck well, you have to minimize many mistakes.
"You want to start shooting yourself in the foot, it's in your net. We've given up nine goals in two games (against Chicago). Do we need to give up another four or five the next time to recognize this is what they can do? I understand we're not perfect but those things hurt you. Your puck management's got to be great."
Closed off
The Hawks were almost flawless Wednesday at closing off all escapes up the boards, forcing the Jets into turnovers along the way or bumbled plays to the more dangerous middle of the ice.
It caused untold headaches from start to finish.
And when the Jets weren't turning over pucks coming out, they were much like a collapsing paper lantern on far too many occasions when the Hawks were attacking.
"You probably don't even get to the point where you can think most of the time, honestly," Wheeler said. "Like I said, it's all about smart decisions with the puck and supporting each other."
Said Setoguchi: "This is a team that has a lot of back pressure. When you're breaking out, if you're not clean, they're going to catch you from behind.
"That happened several times tonight, we weren't making clean plays out of our end and they're a pressure team, they can skate. And if we're not making the right play, it's going to result in turnovers."
Scratch or hurt?
Jets left-winger Evander Kane missed Monday's game with an undisclosed lower-body injury. He took Wednesday's morning skate and said he was looking forward to playing but then was scratched for the game vs. Chicago.
Kane told a TSN broadcaster he was a healthy scratch Wednesday night.
Noel told a different version after the game.
"I think we follow the same protocol with all the players," Noel said. "What you have to do is make sure that you're looking out for the welfare of the players. That's why you have to assess a lot of different things and that's what we do.
"It's no different than with Evander, Mark Stuart. Players for the most part always believe they can play and you have to do the things that are intelligent. There's been no change."

Hey Steve, I didn't know that was a Peacock. I thought it was a picture of one of your new planes on launch and landing. I figured you just didn't take time to sand the sides and wing tips when building it. Nice colors though!
|Feb 24, 2013, 07:28 PM
On that note I just remembered the BBBC conversation we had about Peacocks a couple of years ago. I found one hanging around up at the farm and mentioned I ought to capture him and turn him into a pet.

Back at ya Sean.... hope all is well!
|Feb 24, 2013, 07:46 PM
What a perfect day! Got my first sunburn of the year. :blush: Hopefully not too many after this one; I don't take to burning that well. Lobstah! I took second in ETD sportsman, out of three. I actually did pretty danged good. I got my longest task first off, at 12:03, with a 76 point landing....on the wrong tape. Oh, well. Still, I managed to at least reach the landing zone all four times, and actually scored one landing, a sixty-something. Only botched one flight, the five, when what I thought to be a lifty area, where the wind was going towards, turned into a sink pit after a few minutes. Everywhere I tucked and ran to was SINK. Phew.
Oh, and all this winning performance? On a dead stock Radian. (Yeah, my giveadamn ran out on the BoT just after I couldn't get the wire crimped to work.) Yuh huh, a STOCK Radian. Just wait until I get the mods done. Ooh, baby, it's gonna be a floater. The wood glue on the nut seems to be holding well. I think it's probably just as good as 222, on the stickiness scale.
It was nice to be OUT in the sun, the clean air (Hollister), and the company. The eagles were on vacation, but the hawks and vultures were plentiful. I even had one mooch one of my thermals. I'm flattered! I also had about a dozen CF moochers as well. Heh! I'm getting better at reading them now.

Well since he's doing alright I'm happy for him. I do miss his humor though. Since he's in the boat I guess he doesn't have room to do much building. I guess I'll have to send you two kits so you can build him an ASP Sean. If nothing else he can use it as a spare sail.

|Feb 25, 2013, 08:33 AM
Yeah... I love that channel too Captain. All the toys I used to be able to play with and all. Brings back memories of some good times (and some bad) from my youth. Nothing more fun than watching things go BOOM! and knowing that you're not going to get into trouble for blowing that (whatever it was at the time) up.
Wind seems to have settled down for s bit here so I'm going to be out working on getting the garden area ready to plant and working up some lists for other outdoor projects that need doing. I want to make sure I've got as much as possible done before we hit the summer heat.

Rooftop deck: Massaranduba vs. Tigerwood vs. Ipe
esk8mwMay 28, 2012
Are any of these woods not recommended for a rooftop deck that will have 2-3" of clearance? My 12 year old cedar deck rotted to dust basically - there's no good way to get ventilation or more clearance due to the roof/parapet wall design. I like the looks of all 3 so I am trying to think of a reason not to go with Tigerwood or Massaranduba to save a few thousand bucks over Ipe.
I'll be installing myself so are any of the 3 easier/harder to work with? Everything I have read saying Ipe is the most difficult but there isn't much data out there for the installation of Massaranduba and Tigerwood.
Maintenance - which hold stain the best? Do they all look pretty much the same when left untreated (grayed out)?

In this lovely story reminiscent of "Beauty and the Beast," a rich man must give his daughter to a large dog that saved him from robbers. The brave girl rides on the creature's back as he runs to his castle. There, a friendship begins to grow between the two. During happy moments, she calls her captor "sweet as a honeycomb," but thinks of him as "a great smelly, slobbery, small-tooth dog" when she feels homesick. Seeing her sadness, he takes her home for a visit, but turns around when she treats him unkindly. When she is cruel for a third time, his sorrowful eyes prompt her to call him "sweeter than a honeycomb." The dog rips off his smelly fur, revealing a handsome prince with very small teeth. MacDonald has honed the story until each line is sharp and falls easily on listening ears. Paschkis's gouache folk-art paintings in blue, crimson, and gold tones are reminiscent of medieval tapestries. Varying in size and shape, they are set off by tasseled rope borders. The language of flowers intensifies the scenes, which are embellished with the appropriate blossoms; for example, marigolds signify the father's despair, wheat indicates the dog's riches, and roses symbolize love (the endpapers provide a key to the flowers' meanings). This book is a joyous gift to storytellers and youngsters alike.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hi all,
I have a project called "Phil's Tour", which is me, Philippe, touring Europe and producing a TV show of weekly episodes released on it's own YouTube channel. I will spend one week in a region of a country trying to uncover a hidden treasure. I mean by that, an artist, someone who perpetuates a very old tradition or someone who has a peculiar passion. The uniqueness of the show resides in the fact that I will not visit any cities and will focus exclusively on tiny villages and the countryside.
I am now building a website (that will later link to a Kickstarter page) using GoDaddy's website builder. So far it is perfect for me who possesses zero knowledge in programming.
Another area where I have zero knowledge is in design, thus this post.
What would feel right, font-wise, for the tour's website, keeping in mind that my show will be light, warm and familiar?
Also, would it be a good idea to go for a pair of fonts or stick with one and utilize an all caps version for titles?
My budget is very limited, so I can't lie and would love it if your suggestions rely on fonts included in Windows ;)
I would like to take this opportunity and ask you about choosing the official colors of my projects. I don't really have a preference except that it should be a choice that reflects the three qualities described above.
Thank you for your time.
Cool project.
First of all: don't use all-caps for titling; choose a good text font, and a good harmonious display font for larger sizes.
BTW you don't have to stick to "system fonts" – luckily there are a number of good free fonts out there these days (although do be careful of the lion's share of bad ones). One great place to look is Typographica's annual round-up of favorites... although actually few of those are free. The last two years:
Colors: we're a monochrome crowd around here :-) but hopefully you'll get some good suggestions.
Avoid Pantone's "color of the year", Radiant Orchid, it's ghastly.
Actually, I don't discriminate on the basis of color, but Radiant Orchid is, IMO, difficult to work with.
Colours... how about something based on the LNER Tourist Livery? I think it's roughly colours #225 (Light Brunswick Green) and #352 (Pale Cream) on the following page:

IMAX® New Movie!
April 4, 2014 | Tag(s): Imax, Island of Lemurs, madagascar 3d
By: L'jeanne, Marketing Manager
Now showing at Entergy IMAX®Theatre is the new IMAX® 3D movie The Island of Lemurs: Madagascar 3D. This documentary takes you on a journey with nature's greatest explores – lemurs. The story is a compelling look at how the lemurs have survived and thrived on the Island of Madagascar. But now they are highly endangered and we as people are here to share this planet and protect it. This will be a great movie for the kids to learn about the Madagascar Island and its lemurs. I've seen a few of the previews and read about what's in the movie and it's jam packed with awesome information. Here are just a few things that I thought were cool. Lemurs are evolutionary relatives of monkeys, apes, annnnd people! They actually have traits like people. They live natively on the island of Madagascar, and nowhere else. So you won't find lemurs living in any other native environment in the world. Here's what I think is a spooky tidbit: lemur in Latin means "ghost" and many of the Malagasy people believe lemurs are similar to spirits or ghosts because of their haunting stare and night activity. Isn't that interesting, hummm? The ring-tailed lemurs have some girl power going on in their group. These lemurs live in big groups of up to 24 and the females rule! Girls rock! Alright so that's all the info I'm going to give you. To learn all about Lemur Island and its many species go to Entergy IMAX® Theater to see it now! Island of Lemurs Madagascar 3D is only showing for a limited time so make today an Audubon day!

Bahrain's king announced constitutional amendments on Sunday giving parliament more powers of scrutiny over government, but the opposition said they fell far short of demands for democracy that have driven a year of unrest in the Gulf Arab state.
January 15, 2012 2:47 by Reuters
The speech did not mention clashes between riot police and mainly Shi'ite opposition activists that have taken place on an almost daily basis since martial law was lifted in May after the Sunni-led government crushed a pro-democracy movement.
The Gulf island nation, home to the U.S. Fifth Fleet, is seen by the United States and Saudi Arabia as a key ally against non-Arab Shi'ite power Iran just across Gulf waters.
The amendments, which increase powers to question ministers and withdraw confidence in the cabinet, emerged from a national dialogue King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa organised last year after the Sunni-dominated government crushed a democracy uprising dominated by majority Shi'ites.
The main opposition party Wefaq withdrew from the dialogue, saying it did not go far enough to offer real reform.
The king, in a televised speech said: "Our people have proven their desire for continuing with reforms… We complete the march today with those who have an honest patriotic desire for more progress and reform."
"I must mention here that democracy is not just constitutional and legislative rules, it is a culture and practice and adhering by the law and respecting international human rights principles," he said.
"I beseech all sectors of society to work together so that all their sons adhere to the law, which is linked to coexistence and tolerance…"
The cabinet is headed by the same prime minister from the royal family who was appointed when Bahrain emerged from colonial tutelage in 1971. The elected parliament's powers to legislate are neutralised by an appointed chamber.
Activists were scathing about the speech, which comes after a number of deaths in recent weeks resulting from the tense security situation.
A 24-year-old Shi'ite man was found dead after he went missing last Wednesday. The Bahrain Centre for Human Rights said his body showed signs of torture, but the Interior Ministry said he had drowned.
"Shoes are being thrown at your face (on TV), you lowest of kings in the depths of hell!" wrote a Twitter user called 'Sanabis News', – the usename a reference to a Shi'ite district where police and youths clash daily.
Saeed Shehabi, an opposition leader based in London, wrote after the speech was announced on Sunday evening: "Never in history has a dictator become a democrat. So how can Al Khalifa be expected to change? They simply have to go."
Tensions are set to rise ahead of Feb. 14, the anniversary of the uprising last year after Egyptians and Tunisians succeeded in forcing out unpopular leaders.
Analysts say hardliners within the Khalifa family, backed by Saudi Arabia, have the upper hand and reject further reforms. (Writing by Andrew Hammond; Editing by Matthew Jones)

Questions on Thomas Affleck rose
Hi all,
I wonder if Thomas Affleck is disease resistant to blackspot here in the northeast???
Wondering how large it grows in the northeast?
Cane hardy in the winter?
I need a near thornless & very Blackspot /Powdery mildew resistant rose for out front near a walkway...
Which grows 3-4 ft in height & width and is a good bloomer with bloom size being 3+ inches is why I'm
asking about Thomas Affleck...
This post was edited by jim1961 on Fri, Aug 23, 13 at 12:45
I don't grow it but intend to acquire it sometime in the near future. It was highly recommended by a member of the RoseHybridizers association for it health, vigor, and the fact that it is thornless and will produce thornless seedlings. Carefree Beauty is one of its parents and is extremely healthy.
If you go on HelpMeFindRoses, search Thomas Affleck.
Look at the pictures. Celestial Rose, who use to post frequently on here has several photos of it. She has a large rose garden and comments on her photos of it that it is healthy and vigorous and hardy! She gardens in New Hampshire, Zn 4b. Blackspot is always an issue on the East Coast so I assume if it gets it, it is a minor issue. The pollen parent is Bayse's Blueberry which is a descendent of Bayse's Legacy, a rose especially bred by Robert Bayse for it's thornlessness AND disease resistance.
Good luck,
I grow it here in central Illinois....Blackspot Armpit of Illinois. Here's my observations.
'TA' is ownroot; about 5 years old. I spray but not religiously. Other H/Ts next to it have long defoliated and look ratty...'Thomas Affleck and 'Earthsong' are spotless and haven't been sprayed for about a month. Been too hot and no rain since June. 'TA' is a bloom machine...huge big blooms cover the shrub up to 4 cycles a year. This year the shrub was so overloaded it literally collapsed the shrub and it imploded and fell down flat...necessitating a long-overdue haircut. Normally 'TA' grows in a graceful vase-like form...mature size is 7' TALL X 5' WIDE. Not a tiny shrub...needs lots of real estate.
Sets hips between flushes and bumble bees love this shrub, as do the dratted Japanese beetles. Very cane hardy here in Zone 5...nary a drop of cane damage other than tip damage.
Be prepared to give a mature shrub a good haircut at least twice a summer and you WILL spend time deadheading the spent blooms...lots of time. But it is a jaw-dropping shrub worth the time and effort.
And it is NOT thornless, sadly.

N.Y.C. Store Pickup Ready Within the Hour
An external sound system completes a home theater, and turning one on yields unexpected pleasures. Recently, I stumbled upon a new TV series on HBO and a romantic drama on Blu-ray Disc both designed to indulge the ears.
The series, True Blood, features a waitress who can hear what people are thinking. As she works her way past tables, thoughts cascade toward her from every direction. And the audience hears the cacophony, too, brilliantly steered from multiple speakers at the sides of the TV and near the sofa.
The movie, August Rush, on Blu-ray and also available on DVD, features a humdinger of an opener: a child prodigy deciphers the musical nature of wind rustling the field in which he's standing. As the wind shifts, the sound washes over the audience from various directions. The powerful effect is all but lost on viewers relying on the TV's internal speakers alone. The same is true for the restaurant sounds in True Blood.
Sony STR-DG820 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver
Giving cell phones to your kids just to be able to stay in touch with them locally seems like a waste of money, considering the alternative—no-fee two-way radios. What used to be called walkie-talkies are now smaller, lighter and more reliable than ever. Transmission distances range from about two to 18 miles or more. Commercial-class models carried by employees in a sprawling enterprise can help a business watch its pennies, too.
Last year at CES, it was all about the Ultrabook. Ultrathin and ultraportable but yet still powerful enough to be used as a capable computer, the Ultrabook was everything people wanted in a notebook. Now it seems that CES 2013 was all about the mobile all-in-one computer.
Touch screens are great until they get touched by greasy fingers or inadvertently scratched by jewelry or a sharp object. If you've invested in an iPhone 4, the price of adding a layer of protection is almost negligible compared to the repair or replacement costs. One of the most popular protectors is the Zagg Invisible Shield, available in three different configurations for the Apple iPhone 4.
Getting started with 3D requires more than the TV. To see depth you need 3D glasses, and to be sociable, more than one pair. You may also opt for a 3D-capable Blu-ray Disc player. So, you can see why a bundle is a good thing. B&H has assembled 30 kits involving 3D TVs in different series and screen sizes. Grab a bundle by July 3, and you'll save $300 off the regular price.
Even though the iPad has been on the market for less than a year, there are plenty of options for protective cases. If you got an iPad during the holidays this year and are in the market for a case, consider one of these protective sleeves, compact cases or messenger bags that were designed to be used with the iPad.
Ever wish you could get a little more functionality out of your iPod? Worried about protecting it from scratches? There are hundreds of accessories available for iPod music players. If you acquired an iPod this year, or if you're simply looking to enhance your tried-and-true MP3 player, consider one of the following.
Tip-offs that these are no ordinary TVs are the four USB ports and keypad/mouse combo remote. You've seen connected TVs before, even from Sony. But the new Sony Internet TV models let you navigate anywhere—not only to preselected sites. The four TVs and one Blu-ray player are future proof, too, thanks to downloadable firmware upgrades. Even Sony refers to these products as "Google TV."
IPS monitors are high resolution computer monitors that provide clear images and accurate color from almost every angle you happen to view. They are normally a tool for pro photographers, printers, graphic designers and post-production professionals who demand exacting contrast, details and color replication.
Whether you've just bought a retail computer or built one yourself, there's one thing that happens to both of them the moment you turn them on: they quickly become obsolete. Technology is always changing and you'll find yourself constantly trying to keep up with the latest upgrades. A quad-core processor may seem like a fast processor, but now AMD makes an eight-core processor.
This holiday season, many people are out and about buying new Wi-Fi-enabled cameras, televisions, music players and more. Many more are buying laptops, tablets and desktop PCs, all with wired and wireless capabilities. Then these people are going home, unboxing their purchases, and waiting patiently for the wireless fairy to come down and connect everything.
It appears that not even all-in-one (AIO) desktop computers are immune to the "tablet craze" taking over the computing industry. It's no secret that tablets have grown in popularity, primarily for their ease of use and portability, but their influence has leaked over to other devices.
Mobility and versatility are the leading reasons to choose a tablet. With a size and weight factor between computer and smartphone and the ability to deliver entertainment and information with equal dexterity, today's tablets are windowed panels on the world that millions of people now carry.
When you're looking for a gift for someone less technologically inclined than yourself, you might find that choosing the right gift can be tough. How technologically disinclined are they? Are we talking just a little behind the times? A generation behind the iPad? Still using eight-track tapes?
It's nice to take opportunities like holiday parties and corporate gatherings to say thank you to your co-workers, colleagues, employees and clients. If you're on a gift list of some kind, or if you're looking for a present that says "thank you" while still keeping things professional, then you've come to the right place.

Globally KICC is a decade old & has played a pivotal role in bringing the academia and KPMG professionals closer to one another.
The retroactive tax application creates uncertainty for companies and anything that creates uncertainty for companies is not helpful toward investment or economic development.
Budget 2015 comes in the backdrop of strong domestic macroeconomic fundamentals and soaring expectations, said Vanvari.
According to the latest annual KPMG Global Automotive Executive Survey, now in its sixteenth consecutive year, in 2014 and 2013.
The acquisition is structured in a way that the brand — Mercados — would continue to be the Spanish firm, while KPMG would acquire its India capabilities.
"It is not a tough call when you feel the pulse of a young workforce," said Shalini Pillai, head of People, Performance and Culture, KPMG in India.
According to Rekhy, the focus is on Ease of Doing Business in India and increased infrastructure spend.
'The Make in India plan only addresses 'Make in India by India', which is unique. If someone has to invest, one would prefer China over India,' says Gates.
