Désirée Rabbit lives in Paris and believes she was born to dance: "And though I had never heard of a bunny in the ballet, I wasn't going to let a little thing like that stop me." Like any good backstage story, the road is not easy: in ballet school Désirée is hazed by the imperious Madame Molotov and lands "in a tangled heap" when she attempts her first jump. But her determination and talent win over the human dancers, and when her big break comes during a performance of The Nutcracker, she delivers with élan. Debut author Beck's lightly arch voice, fluid ink lines, and deft washes of color give the pages a breezy stylishness. But while Désirée starts out as recognizably rabbitlike, imaginatively rendered with just a few appropriately balletic, curvi-linear lines, Beck decides she needs a more human body to carry off the tendu devant and grand jeté, and she sprouts the long limbs and nipped-in torso of a classic ballerina. Readers are left with a character who resembles a tiny person wearing a bunny head. Ages 4–8. Agent: David Kuhn, Kuhn Projects. (Feb.)

Rift means AMC Entertainment will stop running Mainstreet 6 theater
- David Twiddy
- Reporter- Kansas City Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
More than three years after opening the Mainstreet 6 movie theater in downtown Kansas City's Power & Light District, AMC Entertainment Inc. says it will cease its operating role there on Wednesday. That makes way for Alamo Drafthouse Cinema to run the theater.
CEO Gerry Lopez said Monday that management will be turned over entirely to The Cordish Co., which has co-operated the theater with AMC. Cordish, which developed the Power & Light District, also will acquire AMC's ownership stake in The Midland Theatre, which was included in the same joint venture.
Cordish, through its KC Live LLC subsidiary, said in a release that Texas-based Alamo will operate Mainstreet beginning Thursday in its current configuration before converting it to the company's typical "cinema-eatery format" in the fall.
Lopez said the split followed 13 months of fruitless negotiations between the two partners about how to make the theater profitable.
"When you're talking just six screens, there's just not enough oxygen in that fishbowl for all the fishes to live," Lopez said. "It was a very difficult environment for two large companies to operate at the same time."
Nick Benjamin, executive director of the Power & Light District, said in an interview that the company disagreed with Lopez's version of the negotiations but declined to get into particulars.
"The facts speak for themselves in that we are the ones acquiring AMC's interest in the Mainstreet theater," Benjamin said. "We're really excited to be able to make the acquisition and think the transition to Alamo will be a good thing for Downtown, and we're excited to be in a position to continue to invest."

The Space
This listing is for a redbrick terraced city centre house.
This is the same location as our other listing - Perfect Location in Dublin City Centre - but is for the whole house. There are more photographs on that listing.
Charming little house in Dublin City Centre. This is my main home, renovated in 2011. It is a redbrick terraced house in the Christchurch area with every convenience in the locality. The house was built by The Dublin Artisan Trading Company in the early 1900's.
One of my other listings - Best location in Dublin City Centre - has photographs of the house.
There are two double bedrooms, a separate kitchen, shower room and large living/dining area. There is also a decked roof terrace on the first floor.
The house is fully insulated, there is underfloor heating downstairs. There is a large working cast iron fireplace in the living room. The decor is contemporary and bright, with some period touches.
All of Dublin is at your feet when staying here. The street is really quiet, yet you are minutes from Dame Street. There are numerous lovely cafes (including Cafe Noto, The Fumbally and Queen of Tarts) nearby, as well as pubs (Porterhouse Parliament Street, Fallons, The Bull and Castle) and restaurants, theatres and cultural attractions.
You are welcome to help yourself to books, magazines, and of course our well-stocked bar!
The kitchen has oven, grill/microwave, hob, dishwasher, washer-dryer, fridge-freezer, Gaggia coffee machine etc.

Interaction with Guests
Interaction varies - I try to be available to guests in person where possible, and certainly am available to contact through phone or online where necessary.
I am a great believer that if there is something amiss it can usually be swiftly dealt with if the guest contacts.
I am also available to provide any local information - if I receive a text or message about an event, sport, restaurant, pub etc I will either know or generally be able to find out ..
The Neighborhood
It is right in the heart of the city centre and yet on a very quiet tree lined street. I like the traditional redbrick fronts of the houses and the fact that you can be in Temple Bar, Grafton Street or St Stephens Green in less than ten (website hidden) Patrick's Cathedral and Christchurch and Christchurch Cathedral are minutes away. There is a great selection of traditional pubs and fashionable cafes.
Everything Dublin city centre has to offer is within walking distance.
Getting around
Yes, but not necessary for the city centre.
There are cross city buses nearby, the Luas (tram) stops just over the river and Heuston Station (trains to the West and South of Ireland) is 15 minutes on foot.
Other Things to Note
The house is very cosy and warm in winter.
Towels and sheets are 100% cotton and excellent quality.
The kitchen is fully stocked with equipment and appliances.
There is a house manual provided with keys on check in.
The Wifi begins with 617.., the password is FHNCKCRG.
The television is SMART.
No smoking indoors please.
Please feel free to borrow novels, magazines etc.
Please be careful with the fireplace, it is cast iron so corrodes with water contact.
El anfitrión se portó genial con nosotros. Antes de llegar a Dublín, se preocupó mucho por nosotros, y nos dio todas las indicaciones que le pedimos.
Ante cualquier duda, contestaba rápido. Muy agradable y educado.
La casa está en un lugar perfecto, puedes ir andando al centro, o a cualquier lugar de visita (Catedral, Fábrica de Guinness, etc.). El barrio es tranquilo y seguro, no tuvimos ningún problema.
La casa es fantástica, amplia y limpia. Todo funciona a la perfección, pues creo que ha sido recientemente remodelada.
Very nice and cozy flat. The flat is very well located and in walking distance to all important sightseeing spots.
It's well equipped, with everthing you need.
I highly recommend this flat!
Notre séjour s'est très bien déroulé. L'appartement de Daragh est très agréable et parfait pour les 4 adultes que nous étions. Daragh est très accueillant et donne beaucoup d'information sur Dublin. Le quartier est calme et tout proche du centre ville. Bonne adresse, bon rapport qualité/prix, je recommande cet appartement.
Nous avons eu des réponses rapides à toutes nos questions et de bonnes suggestions d'adresses ! La maison correspond bien au descriptif et franchement la literie confortable à été tres apprèciée après de longues journées de visites
We had a great stay at Daragh's charming place. He was kind enough to greet us late for the check-in and was extremely helpful in providing us with useful tips around the city. The flat was walking distance from all major tourist destinations and it felt more of small house than an apartment. I would highly recommend it!
Excellent experience at Daragh's place. The host welcome us and showed un on a Dublin map all attractions suitable for us. As I usually sleep with a super thin pillow, he purchased a set of 2 thin pillows just to make sure I could sleep comfortably. This was a very kind gesture. There was a little issue with the wifi router promptly solved with a new one! The apartment looks a little bit bigger in the pictures but once you are inside it's very cosy and everything is at hand reach. It is in fact conveniently located next to Temple Bar (5 min walks away) and the best fish and chip in Dublin is conveniently located 3 min away! I strongly recommend booking this location, 100% satisfaction both host and flat!
The host was extremely welcome and made us feel right at home. He spent the time to show us around and provide guidance on main tourist attractions. We were very pleased with the central location as well as the host's welcome!! The place definitely met our needs and we would stay there again.
This host has 285 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/485,937 filed Jul. 9, 2003.
The present invention relates to a job control system for job control of a document processing system in which processing system a number of tasks is performed in a workflow, the job control system comprising an input source with a user interface for enabling a user to define or change parameters for or within the workflow. Such job control systems are known for instance from European Patent Application no. EP 1 220 085 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,046,818 both herein incorporated by reference in their entirety for background information.
The present invention also relates to a method for controlling a document processing system in dependence on processing parameters.
Printing engines such as laser printers, plotters, and other printing devices produce an image or �visual representation� on a sheet of paper or the like. A printing engine can print dots on a piece of paper corresponding to the information of a bitmap (or pixelmap where a pixelmap is characterized as having a depth of one, two or more bits) which forms an input for the printing engine. A bitmap (or bitmap file) forms a digital representation of the visual representation of the page to be printed. A printing device creates a visual representation by printing an array of pixels arranged in rows and columns from the bitmap.
Such a printing engine may be used to produce books, newspapers, pamphlets, posters and other single and multi-page printed matter. The printing press may advantageously print multiple pages of printed matter at the same time onto a single sheet. Besides printing presses other devices used for printing multiple pages at the same time include e.g. image setters and plate setters.
The data for each single page are conventionally in a page description language file (PDL). For that purpose each page may have been e.g. produced by a Page Layout applications such as e.g. Quark Express, PageMaker etc., the data having been put in a page description language file (PDL). A page description language (PDL) is a high level language for describing objects to be displayed by an output device. Examples of PDL are PDF and Postscript. These PDL files conventionally form the input for the system in accordance with the invention.
Conversion means that produce a bitmap output file in response to a number of page description language input files are widely used. Such a conversion means has a means (e.g. an interface) for receiving page description data in the form of a number of PDL files. In order to produce a finished sheet, the conversion means interprets the data contained in the PDL files, renders objects within the data into bitmap(s), and after all objects for the sheet are rendered, sends the bitmap file to a printing engine which prints the sheet.
Layout information describes how the pages are to be arranged to achieve the desired output result.
Rendering, i.e. PDL-to-bitmap transformation is another key processing-component of a printing process workflow system. The document processing system comprises a rendered to perform this task.
In a Job Ticket driven system a Job Ticket defines how a Job is to be assembled and processed. It defines the pages that are to be assembled and the processing settings for the pages and the flats, e.g. imposition, separation, trapping, rendering, etc. The job ticket is a detailed description on how a job is processed in the system. Job tickets are made via a Job Ticket editor and submitted to a server or are imported from another system e.g. print management system like an MIS or a Delano system. A number of specifications are used within the graphic arts industry such as e.g. the JDF specification and the PJTF specification for the job ticket for use as an interchange mechanism-between MIS systems and server.
To the different steps of the printing process parameters are associated, such as for instance parameters relating to resolution, color management, imposition schedule, trapping, rendering etc. The JDF specification and the PJTF specification enumerate many of the known processes and their associated parameters. The control system comprises an input source with a user interface for enabling a user to define or change processing parameters, often a graphical user input (GUI).
The user may define or change parameters explicitly and knowingly, for instance when resolution or is increased or color settings are changed, in which case it may be clear to the user which parameters he is changing, or implicitly for instance when the press is changed, which may effect several printing process parameters such as e.g. those associated with color management and trapping.
Also the user may change parameters relating not to a task or action within the workflow (resolution, imposition, color setting parameters etc.), but to the workflow itself e.g. by changing the sequential order of tasks to be performed in the workflow scheme (e.g. changing from a workflow scheme in which rendering is done prior to imposition to a workflow scheme in which imposition is done prior to rendering), i.e. change parameters for the workflow.
Under normal conditions one can assume that job tickets or jobs are submitted and run to completion with the preset values. This assumes that during the course of execution of the job nothing changes in the specification of the job or by implication nothing changes in the job ticket.
However sometimes mistakes are made or choices made by the client or operator are less then perfect or very simply a change of mind occurs. Such mistakes or less than perfect choices or changes of mind can be for instance:
Mistakes or changing requirements require known job control systems to abort the job in process. At that moment in time the operator has a few choices.
For simplicity reasons the operator might decide that the job parameters are changed in the job ticket and a completely new job is submitted, yielding the new output requirements. This puts a high burden on the prepress processing system. All intermediate results need to be regenerated. The consistency of the output is guaranteed. As mistakes are often detected in the proofing cycle late in the production, the response time to changes is vital to maintain press-up times (cost, customer satisfaction),
The operator might also, at least theoretically, decide to intervene into the prepress system and try to split up the job in a part that can be re-used for further processing and another part that needs to be resubmitted from scratch with the new settings in the job ticket. This is a time consuming and difficult process and prone to errors, especially given the fact that there is usually little response time available and the choices have to be made under great time pressure.
Neither of the choices is, especially late in proofing cycle late in production, an attractive choice. However, present job control systems do not provide any other solution.
It is an object of the invention to provide a method, system and apparatus to reduce one or more of the above cited problems.
To this end the job control system is characterized in that it comprises:
The invention is based on the recognition that when a change of parameter in or for the workflow is effected, during execution of a job, a lot of intermediate and final results may still be reusable. Verifying, in case a parameter is changed during execution of a job, whether or not an intermediate result is affected and storing useable intermediate results, enables reusing of intermediate results. By identifying and marking dependencies of intermediate results and verifying and storing reusable intermediate results, restart of the process can be more effectively executed.
Storing within the framework of the present invention means any action by which the intermediate results are retrievable. The storage means themselves (i.e. where the data are stored) may form a part of the system itself (and in preferred embodiments forms a part of the system itself). �Storing means� thus should be interpreted broadly, e.g. the intermediate results can be transmitted to some remote storage device for later retrieval. The data of the intermediate result(s) itself , need not be stored in the system itself (although in preferred embodiments they are), but on some data carrier or other storage device which is separate from the system itself. So a storing means is a means for storing the data whether it is stored inside the system itself (on a hard disk for instance) or on a removable carrier (a remote device for instance) or broadcasted or transmitted to some device outside the system itself for storage by such a remote device. The important aspect is that useable intermediate results are identified and retrievable. Within the framework of the invention the job control system preferably comprises an identifier and verifier for all dependencies.
A production plan (or job ticket definition) is composed of a number of Task Processors (TP) (aka Job Ticket processors (JTP)). Each TP or JTP has a set of parameters associated with it. To the different steps of the printing task processors (TP) and process steps parameters are associated, such as for instance parameters relating to resolution, color management, imposition schedule, trapping, rendering etc.
The control system comprises an input source with a user interface for enabling a user to define or change processing parameters, often a graphical user input (GUI). Each TP or at least a number of the most important TP's has an associated (G)UI (Graphical) User Input to set or change the individual parameters. The input source conventionally visualizes the parameters in a logical order and associates them with a certain TP in the production plan. Prima facie, this would seem to be a straight-forward situation: if a certain parameter is changed by a user for a JTP corresponding to a particular step in the workflow it would seem logical that every intermediate result prior to that step is still valid, whereas starting with that particular step all calculation redone. However, the parameter association between GUI, i.e. user input, and JTP, i.e. task processor does not always correspond to the JTP where the actual execution is. In other words, some parameters are defined in another TP than they are actually executed. The user is often unaware of these facts.
The complex parameter dependency is especially true for the renderer. A lot of parameters and resources are defined in other TP GUI's than the render TP GUI, e.g. the resolution is set at the level of the device (output) TP but the renderer is required to do the appropriate rendering at the requested resolution. The render TP looks e.g. ahead in the production plan and determines the requested resolution for the engine. At the time the renderer generates the output bitmap (intermediate result) for the device at the appropriate resolution the identifier (which in this case is or forms a part of or is coupled with the renderer) puts a dependency from the output result to the selected-resolution of the device, i.e. the output result is �ear-marked�. This marking may be for instance a set of parameter data attached to the output bitmap file, or a link to a file comprising said set of parameter data.
When during job execution the resolution is changed, the verifier of the job control system of the invention compares the resolution parameters of the output bitmap with the effective (in this case changed) resolution parameters and comparing these parameter data and noticing the difference recognizes that the intermediate result (output bitmap) is invalid. However, as will be explained below other intermediate results, in this case those intermediate results are not dependent on the resolution parameter(s), may still be valid or useable. The verifier identifies such valid or still useable intermediate results and stores them.
The dependencies may themselves be dependent on the general workflow scheme, which workflow scheme may be user definable. By changing the workflow the user may, without realising that this happens, change the dependency and thereby make intermediate result invalid. E.g. if rendering is done prior to imposition, the rendition is not dependent on imposition parameters, in which case a change in imposition does not affect rendition. So in such circumstances, if during job execution the imposition scheme is changed, the verifier recognizes that the intermediate result of the rendered page bitmap is still valid, despite the change in imposition, and the intermediate valid result is stored.
If rendering is done after imposition any change in imposition may affect rendition, in which case the intermediate result may be invalid and recognized as such by the verifier. If the workflow is changed from a situation in which rendition precedes imposition to a workflow in which imposition precedes rendition, this change in the workflow scheme will effect the dependency mechanism. These sometimes complicated dependencies make it even for an experienced operator difficult to intervene manually in the process when a parameter has been changed and split up the job without running a substantial risk that errors are made, leaving little choice but resubmitting a new job ticket and redoing all the steps and calculations.
The system in accordance with the invention provides an identifier to identify and mark dependencies of intermediate and/or final results to parameters and a verifier to determine the validity of intermediate and/or results in the context of the changed processing parameters and storing still useable intermediate and/or final results enabling to use these valid results without the need for recalculation. The identifier preferably forms part of a Task Processor (TP) for providing the intermediate result. The identification and marking can be done afterwards or separately from the actual task processors. However identifier that form part of the task processor are preferred since the marking is than done immediately following or preceding the actual production of the intermediate result which reduces the change of errors being made and increases the speed of the process and reaction time to changes.
Within the context of the invention several embodiments are possible.
In an embodiment the system comprises a verifier to verify only whether or not intermediate results are affected by the occurred change in parameter and storing the unaffected intermediate results only.
In such simple systems intermediate results which are affected by the occurred change in parameter will always be recalculated. Although this is a relatively simple system it will still be advantageous. In such systems there is always a recalculation if the intermediate result is dependent on the changed parameter.
In preferred embodiments of the system the verifier comprises
At least some intermediate results may be effected by the occurred change in parameter to an extent that the difference between the non-recalculated and the recalculated intermediate result remains below an acceptable limit. Recalculation of the intermediate result(s) leads in such circumstances to a situation in which time is lost without a perceivable effect.
In the preferred embodiment the verifier has means to calculate or estimate the effect of the occurred change on the intermediate result (for instance by means of some course formula, or a table) and compare the result of the effect calculation or estimation to a standard and decide on the basis of this comparison whether or not originally established intermediate results (i.e. before the occurred parameter change) are useable and then store the useable intermediate or final results.
In further embodiments the system has means for setting at least one limit value. The operator can thereby instruct the system below which limit value the intermediate result is still useable and above which the intermediate result is to recalculated.
The setting of the at least one limit value can be direct, i.e. the operator sets a specific standard. �Settting� within this concept means also to ignore certain parameter changes (which is equivalent to setting the limit value such that the estimated or calculated difference is always smaller than the standard). The setting of the limit value or values may also be in the form of an overall setting (coarse, fine, medium quality, high quality).
Furthermore one or more standards may be dependent on parameters which are themselves settable. For instance, when the printing is done on a coarse mode, the standards will be relatively low, i.e. a lot of intermediate results may be useable, whereas where a high quality print is required the standards will be relatively severe.
In preferred embodiments of the invention the system comprises means for notification to a user of a change in parameter, for indicating the effect of the change of parameter and for giving the choice of recalculation or not.
In an embodiment, the job control system has a controller for, after change of a parameter during execution of a job, and identification and storing of the reusable intermediate results, automatically re-submitting the job, while changing the job ticket such that the stored reusable intermediate results are reused.
This allows an automatic resubmission of the job. If during execution it is found that a parameter has been changed, the job ticket is changed in such manner that the still usable intermediate results are used, bypassing the process steps in the original job ticket which have lead to the reusable intermediate results. Instead of having to resubmit the job ticket in toto and redoing all steps of the prepress processing only those steps effected by the change in parameter(s) are redone.
In this embodiment the strength and advantage of the invention is most clearly perceivable since in a safe yet swift and efficient manner last minute changes are possible. As mistakes are often detected in the proofing cycle late in the production, the possible to achieve a short response time to changes in a safe manner is of high importance to maintain press-up times and thereby reduce cost and increaser customer satisfaction.
In a second embodiment the job control system has a display device to display to the user which intermediate results are still valid and/or which intermediate results are no longer valid. This will allow the user a choice to resubmit the job ticket in toto (e.g. if little or no intermediate results are usable), to continue the original job ticket (e.g. if only a limited number of intermediate results have become invalid and the operator knows from experience that the errors due to the invalidity of the intermediate result are very limited) or to resubmit the job ticket in accordance with the hereabove given embodiment, i.e. using the valid intermediate results. In particular it will also give the user insight in the dependencies in a effective and useful manner, without requiring detailed knowledge.
In a preferred embodiment the displayer is for displaying the dependencies of the valid and/or invalid results on parameters and display which parameter has been changed and how.
In such embodiments the user is informed on the occurred change in parameters and which intermediate results are still valid and what changes has occurred. This embodiment is in particular advantageous in circumstances where a user is in the process of trying to define settings.
In the drawings:
An example of color management is illustrated in
The figures are not drawn to scale. Generally, identical components are denoted by the same reference numerals in the figures.
These processes may include fold and cut operations possibly followed by some form of binding. Imposition does not just entails flipping certain pages, but also more complex operations such as rotation, scaling, pixel alignment etc. In
An input of PDL files for a number of pages is via an interface 42 received by a central frame 41, which comprises a CPU (central processing unit) 43 and a memory 44. A runlist is made for the PDL pages in or by runlist module 45, this provides PDL objects in display order with layout, imposition module 46 assembles and impositions the PDL objects into a PDL sheet file and impositions the object on the sheet, creating a PDL sheet file.
The imposition module has associated with it an imposition GUI with which a user can set imposition parameters. Rendering module 47 transform using a transformation matrix TM sheet, the PDL sheet file into a bitmap (BM) sheet. The transformation matrix itself dependent on output parameters, which are set or changeable via the output GUI. The BM output file(s) are then sent to a printing engine 49 (via output 48) where the sheet or sheets are printed.
The whole of the printing process is governed by a job ticket. In a Job Ticket driven system a Job Ticket defines how a Job is to be assembled and processed. It defines the pages that are to be assembled and the processing settings for the pages and the flats, e.g. imposition, separation, trapping, rendering, etc. The Job ticket is a detailed description on how a job is processed in the system. Job tickets are made via a Job Ticket editor and submitted to a server or are imported from another system e.g. print management system like an MIS or a Delano system.
In the system as illustrated in
For instance as an output parameter resolution may be chosen, if such chosen resolution is a well defined resolution (number of pixels per unit area), this may be defined independent of the chosen printing engine. However the output resolution parameter may also be �highest resolution�. Just what �highest resolution� is may be dependent on the chosen printing engine, which makes the output parameter dependent on the printing engine parameters.
Likewise imposition parameters may be dependent or independent from printing parameters. In general the parameters set by a specific User interface module (GUI) for a task processor (TP) are of two different types, a first types of settings which only effect actions in the particular TP for instance a screen selection in a render TP, and a second type which are actually performed or effect a different TP.
Some examples of such second type of settings are given above, a further example is the following: if a different press is chosen this may require new rendering since a change in color management is required. Present job ticket control systems do not have means to keep track of such dependencies, thus a change in a setting requires a job ticket to be rerun in toto. It is in particular these second type of dependencies, often unknown to an operator, that makes it difficult, if not near impossible for operators to accurately predict the effect of a change of parameter, thus often requiring a rerun of the whole job when a parameter has changed.
In a job ticket control system in accordance with the invention an identifier to identify and mark dependencies of one or more intermediate and/or final results to parameters in or for the workflow and/or to individual task processors in the production plan and an verifier to identify, during execution, and in case a parameter is changed during job execution, whether or not an intermediate and/or final result is affected by the occurred change in parameter are provided and valid intermediate results are stocked.
In this last given example for instance the renderer perform the rendering after having requested and received the parameters needed for the rendering (resolution parameters, color management parameters etc. etc.) performs the rendering operation and stores the rendered file(s) together with dependencies and the parameters used for the rendering. This means that the dependencies are identified and marked. It is those dependencies and the parameter values which the verifier verifies by comparing them to the factual parameters at the time of prosecution.
Schematically an intermediate or final result A is shown. The identifier has such an intermediate result either as an input, e.g. when the result itself is made by a different part of the system or a different part of the software, or as an output, e.g. when the identifier is, forms a part of or is coupled to a task processor which produces the intermediate or final result. The identifier is fed with, or finds itself the parameters a,b,c,d,e,f, on which the intermediate result is dependent. These may be parameters, within the workflow, defined before (a,b,c) the stage in which the intermediate result is produced as well as parameters (d,e,f) which are defined later in the workflow. The intermediate or final result A is tagged, i.e. is marked with the dependencies as well as the values of the parameters the result A is dependent upon.
It is remarked that such calculation of the effect does not comprise a recalculation of the intermediate result itself followed by comparing of the previous result with the recalculated result. Such actions would not give an advantage. However, although rather complex dependencies may exits between intermediate results, parameters and final results, there where variation of a parameter is (or variations of parameters are) rather small compared to (a) previous parameter(s) it is usually possible to obtain by relatively simple calculations or comparison (e.g. using a table) a reasonable �rule of thump� estimation of the effect of a change in parameter. Such an estimation of the effect ΔA is then compared to a limit value (here schematically indicated by value L).
If ΔA is smaller than L (ΔA<L) the already existing result is stored for reuse, thus no recalculation is required. If ΔA is larger than L (ΔA>L) the already existing result is not used, and the intermediate result is recalculated. The advantage of this embodiment is that there were only minor, relatively unimportant changes in parameters have occurred no recalculation with the associated loss of time occurs.
The value L may be a fixed value, but preferably the system comprises means to set the value L, either directly, i.e. the user sets a value for L, or indirectly, i.e. the value is coupled to and/or dependent of other settable parameters. Referring to the previous given example of color management a change in the color management parameters may change color rendition, even without completely recalculating new data, it is possible to estimate the effect of a change of color management on the color rendition, e.g. by calculating (or finding in a table) the effect of the change of color management on the average color point or the maximum deviation of color points.
Thus a change of color management parameters may be linked (either by calculation or by some table) to an estimated effect on color rendition. The estimated or calculated effect itself may then be compared to a �just tolerable� value L. If the estimated effect remains below the threshold, the �old values� are stored and no recalculation of date occurs, if the estimated effect is larger than the threshold L, recalculation occurs. The threshold or limit value L itself may be dependent on further parameters which may or may not be have been changed, such as the type of press, the inks used, the quality of the print, the required resolution, the paper used etc.
A change of color management resulting in a change of color rendition may be perfectly acceptable for newspaper print, but not for high quality prints. Therefore in preferred embodiments the verifier also comprises means for determining the dependencies of the limit value L on other parameter(s). This may be in the form of a formula, or in the form of a table, or in the form of a learn process. With the latter the following is meant. The system may originally comprise values for It is to be noted that there were mention is made of �a limit value L� or �threshold L�, this may in fact be a set of more than one parameters.
The advantage of the system enabling the scheme of
As in the scheme the system preferably comprises means to set the limit values L1 and L2. L1 could be or be set to zero, in which case the user would be notified of small changes also. The value for L2 could also be set to a very high value, in which case the user would be notified of any change in parameter. The values L1 and L2 themselves may be dependent on other parameter.
For instance when the printing quality forms a parameter set or to be set, a high quality �best� mode will decrease the values for L, L1 and L2 so that often recalculation of intermediate results will take place, whereas a �quick and dirty� mode will increase the values for L, L1 and L2, resulting often in reusing already calculated intermediate results.
As above, it is noted that there were mention is made of �a limit value L1, L2� or �threshold L1, L2�, this may in fact be a set of more than one parameters. Also an occurred change may effect several qualities of the actual print (color rendition, position of the print, position of pages vis-�-vis each other, resolution etc) and therefore the verifier may have, in preferred embodiments, means to estimate or calculate several effects, relating to more than one aspect of the actual print, and compare the estimated or calculated effects to limit values.
The estimation of the effect may be implicit in the comparison for instance when a very simple parameter (such as size or length) is changed, the comparisons may then be simply �change less than x mm�, �change between x and y mm�, �change greater than y mm�. In such a case the estimation of the effects can be done without calculation. ΔA is then simply equal to or a linear function of Δf.
A complete rerendering of the flat would take a lot of time, in such a case it would be advantageous not to rerender but to delete the slagline from the flat and replace it with the new slagline. A correction thus amounts to not recalculating as was done for the original data but to grosso modo use the existing data but correct them. Usually the result will be of a lesser quality than completely recalculating the intermediate result but of a better quality than reusing the �old� intermediate result.
It is remarked that there were a job comprises several flats, the job system may have mean to establish for each flat whether or not recalculation of intermediate results is needed. To give an example: If color management is changed for printing a book comprising both text in black and white, black and white as well as color photography. Some of the flats may only comprise texts, other text and black and whit photo's while other flats comprises color photo's. The effect of a change in color-management may be tolerable for flats in black and white, but recalculation may be needed for flats comprising color photo's.
Note that in this example it is not necessarily so that the flats comprising the color photo's will per definition be the ones that are recalculated for instance in case a change in parameters has an effect on the resolution, and the required resolution for the black and white photos would be higher than for the color photos.
The prepress processes are,
The image operation includes a parameter called border. The input screen for this image operation is shown in
These borders are defined per output device (CTP/CTF/Proofers) and are therefore part of the image operation of the output TP. The marks and color bars, which are defined in PDL, have to be converted to a bitmap by the Render TP. Within the production plan the render TP precedes the output TP. However rendering is dependent on the border parameter. So, the Render TP will put the border around the sheet before it starts the PDL to bitmap conversion and it will add a parameter dependency (=identification+marking) on the border selection parameter of the image operation. Therefore if the parameter border is changed the verifier will verify that indeed for rendering the border parameter is identified and marked and if there has been a change will notice the change.
In the simplest set-up of the system and method the render TP will rerender using the changed border parameters. As can be seen from
An example of color management is given in
When selecting �follow paper type�, the normalizer TP looks up and put a dependency on the Paper Type parameter of the print operation (=identification and marking). If the user selects the paper type, and does not put a fink in the �convert all Pantone books color names to Follow paper type�, in the normalize TP this dependency is not set. If the paper type is changed and the normalized TP has marked the dependency, the normalisation operation is to be redone, or in more sophisticated embodiments an estimation of the effect of the change in paper type has to be made.
In short the invention can be described as follows:
A job control system for a document processing system wherein a number of tasks is performed in a workflow comprises a user interface to define or change parameters. The job control system comprises an identifier to identify and mark dependencies of one or more intermediate and/or final results to parameters. This enables a verifier, also part of the job control system, to verify, during execution of the job, a change in parameter and establish whether or not an intermediate and/or final result obtained before the change in parameter is still useable despite the occurred change in parameter. The job control system furthermore comprises a means for storing the usable intermediate and/or final results. This enables, in case a parameter is changed to use those results that are still useable, thus saving time.
The parameters may and often will be set, within the workflow scheme, in front of or behind the actual stage where the intermediate result is made.

To seal or not seal kool deck (desert deck)
clockerfieldsAugust 17, 2011
Recently got Stegmeier Desert Deck applied to wet concrete. PB says no need to seal after 30 days but mfgr. recommends this . . . second time getting this done due to prior problems. Suggestions on experienced members would be helpful and appreciated.
I've used Stegmeier products since about 1969. I've never sealed Kool Deck. The seal they recommend is for areas that have distinct freeze/thaw cycles. Their sealer is to protect against water penetrating the pours in the surface.
I built pools in a climate that rarely had temps drop below freezing. I have seen frost damage to Kool Deck when the temps dip down to the teens. Hope this helps you a bit. Good luck.

March ~ The Amazing Human Brain
March 31 ~ Developmental Prosopagnosia: What is face blindness? How can it be assessed and treated?
Albert Yonas, Professor, Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota
This talk will describe a condition that is difficult to imagine. We know what it is like to be unable to remember the name of a familiar person, but with prosopagnosia one may have difficulty recognizing close friends and even family members; everyone is a stranger. Tens of thousands of people have had their face recognition skills tested by going to faceblind.org on the web. Findings on the social consequences of the condition, the role of age, and genetics will be described as well as current work to improve the face recognition skills of those seeking help.
April ~ The Great Unknowns

In this UMR CONNECTS event on "The Great Unknowns" of historical events, Dennis Challeen will discuss history, psychology and the law touching on the Salem Witch Trials, how our Constitution came together, Lincoln and the Civil war, and how it all comes together today.
April 14 ~ Under a Watchful Eye: Child Abuse Prevention in Youth Serving Organizations
Alison Feigh, Program Manager at Jacob Wetterling Resource Center
Camps, retreats, faith communities, sports organizations, and arts organizations can provide wonderful quality experiences for youth to grow and thrive under the watchful eye of staff and volunteers with the best interests of the youth. The sad reality is that any organization that provides access to youth, time with youth, and the ability to build relationships with youth are targeted by offenders as places to find possible targets. Most people are in youth work for the right reasons, but one person engaging in a group to look for targets can destroy the legacy of a program and even worse, have detrimental effects to the lives of youth involved. There is no room for denial or minimization when the health of children and youth are at stake. This presentation will provide resources to both adults working within youth serving organizations who are diligently trying to keep their programs safe and community members wanting to learn more about warning signs and prevention. The good news is that we have come a long way in awareness and prevention in a short time. The challenge is that we still have far to go.

White Sox fall to Orioles 5-4 in 12 innings
BALTIMORE (AP) — On the long list of painful losses they have experienced this season, the Chicago White Sox might have come up with the most agonizing of them all.
Chicago blew a four-run lead in the eighth inning Wednesday night, then fell 5-4 to the Baltimore Orioles on a wild pitch in the 12th.
It was the second time in three days the White Sox lost in Baltimore's final at-bat. Chicago has dropped six of its last seven, with each defeat coming by two runs or fewer.
"The baseball gods must be upset with us in some way, shape, or form," leadoff hitter Adam Eaton said. "They kind of had it out for us this, about a week."
The Orioles didn't get a runner past first base against Hector Noesi until the seventh inning and trailed 4-0 entering the eighth. Noesi was pulled after giving up two straight singles, and Scott Downs walked Chris Davis to load the bases with two outs.
Chicago manager Robin Ventura summoned Javy Guerra, the fourth pitcher of the inning, to face Nelson Cruz. On a 2-1 pitch, Cruz launched an opposite-field drive that barely cleared the wall in right field. It was his second grand slam of the season and eighth of his career.
Neither team threatened before the grounds crew came with the tarp as soon as the ninth inning ended. Rain delayed the start of the 10th for 69 minutes.
Nick Hundley opened the bottom of the 12th with a walk off Daniel Webb (4-2) and David Lough entered as a pinch-runner. Lough took third on a single by Nick Markakis and scored easily when Webb uncorked a pitch that got past catcher Tyler Flowers.
"It's tough to lose like that," Ventura said. "Hector threw a great game, but we couldn't hold onto it. We've got to be able to be better at the end."
Tommy Hunter (2-1) got the final out in the Chicago 12th to earn the win in a game that ended well after midnight.
"It didn't look like it was a 4-4 game or it ended up being 5-4 in the first seven innings," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "Eight innings. Whatever it was. It seems like yesterday. It was yesterday."
Jose Abreu hit his 23rd home run for the White Sox, Eaton tied a career high with four hits and Flowers drove in two runs. Abreu has four homers and 10 RBIs during his current 10-game hitting streak.
None of it mattered.
"Robin said before we're not going to have a pity party, no one's going to feel sorry for us," Eaton said. "The only way we're going to do this is to be able to pick ourselves up and move forward."
Baltimore starter Ubaldo Jimenez allowed four runs and eight hits in 6 1-3 innings. The right-hander left the mound in danger of absorbing his ninth loss, but Cruz's slam took Jimenez off the hook.
Until Cruz connected, Noesi and the White Sox dominated.

Transplant large Paw Paw trees? Not many blooms.
I have 3 Paw Paw trees about 12' tall that I planted 5 years ago.
They are not grafts. Either started from seed or cuttings I didn't ask when I bought them from a small nursery.
I planted them in a spot that is really shaded, they get almost no direct sun. I planted them there because I read somewhere that they grow well as an understory tree.
They are growing vigorously and are really healthy, but they only have 4 or 5 blooms on each one every year.
Could this be because of too much shade?
I have a spot with full sun that I can transplant them to if that would help.
Pawpaw root systems are very fragile, especially the tap root.
If you aim to transplant them, you would have to ensure not to disturb the tap root.
I'd probably choose to get some seeds and go thru the process of growing a new one rather than risk losing them all due to root damage.
Its a tough species to uproot without killing.
Maybe others with more experience have better ideas.
I have a backhoe with a large bucket and the ground is very soft so I could probably get all of the taproot in one scoop.
It would be disturbed but probably/hopefully not too bad?
If they aren't ever going to produce, loosing them wouldn't be much of a loss.
I could thin out the trees that are shading them and sell the wood for saw timber or firewood, 40" diameter oak and hickory trees.
I transplanted a number of 5 - 7 year old pawpaw trees early this spring without taking monster root balls and all are doing well. Not to discourage taking as much root as you can - the more, the better - but it will still be okay with a smaller root ball. I would transplant just before bud break in the spring.
Very late winter or early spring transplanting is part of the secret. Pawpaw, unlike most deciduous trees, does not have recovery root growth while still dormant.
Thinning the top growth to balance for loss of roots is always a good idea, but strongly consider painting the truck and branches with thin white (or in any case light colored) diluted latex pain or whitewash (which will wear off in a year or two).
Full sun in 7b may be too much though. It is for mine.

Along with his new job as chief information officer at DHS, Luke McCormack will also serve as vice chair of the Federal CIO Council.
The DHS's newly installed CIO was appointed to the council position Jan. 8. The move comes only a few weeks after McCormack officially stepped into the DHS CIO job. That position was vacated by Richard Spires last March and held by acting CIO Margie Graves until McCormack came on board in December.
Spires had also been vice chair at the Federal CIO Council while serving as DHS CIO.
Before being tapped in October to fill the DHS CIO slot, McCormack had been CIO and deputy assistant attorney general for information resources management at the Justice Department, a post he had held since February 2012.
This is his second stint at DHS. He had previously served at Customs and Border Protection as acting director of the infrastructure services division from 2004 to 2005, director of architecture and engineering from 2002 to 2003, and director of systems engineering from 1999 to 2002.
"Mr. McCormack has a keen understanding of the Council's mission," said a Jan. 16 post on CIO.gov's blog. "He has played a leading role in Council activities since March of 2012 when he became DOJ CIO. There, he helped steer the Council's cybersecurity work by co-chairing the Information Security and Identity Management Committee, and served as Vice-Chair of the Digital Services Advisory Group, which advised the Federal CIO on all aspects of implementation of the Digital Government Strategy."
