'Highland Warriors' - Movie
by Rainier on Oct. 5, 2002 @ 8:05 a.m. PDT | Filed under News
Highland Warriors, a new 3D RTS game scheduled for release fall of 2002, brings together the great battles between Scotland and England with some of the most innovative gaming technology available today. ATLAS, Highland Warriors' new gaming engine, can show up to 200,000 polygons simultaneously without a loss of performance for highly realistic graphics and advanced playability. Added to the game's real-time shadows, artificial intelligence and a freely rotating camera with full zoom, players are a part of the action like never before. Today we show off the intro for the game... (thanks 3DGamers).

Pricing & Coaching Packages
Our prices vary depending on the coaching program you choose.
- The Online Career Pathfinding Program is our most popular and most affordable coaching program. Adrian is your virtual career coach. This program starts at $250/month.
- 1:1 coaching sessions with Daniel Fine, our career and life coach, start at $500/month.
Please read this page thoroughly to decide which option is best for you.
The Online Career Pathfinding Program
This is not your average online course. It's a soulful and engaging multimedia learning experience that contains all of the coaching activities, career assessments, pathfinding tools, and career advice you need to find the right career for you.
- Adrian is your virtual career coach, guiding you through every step of the pathfinding process via 50+ instructional videos.
- The course is scheduled to take 3 months to complete if you follow the set schedule of completing one module of pathfinding activities each week.
There are two pricing options for the online coaching program...
1. Full Access: $750
- Gives you instant access to all content modules as soon as you sign up. You can go as fast as you want through the pathfinding process.
- $750. One time payment. Gives you access for 3 months. Non-refundable.
- If you still want access to the content after 3 months, you pay just $79/month for "alumni membership."
---> To sign up for this option, email frank directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
2. Monthly Membership: $250/month. Cancel anytime. 30 day money back guarantee.
- You get access to one new content module of pathfinding activities every week for 3 months. By the end of the 3rd month, you will have been guided through the entire career pathfinding process.
- $250/month for the first 3 months while you are receiving one new content module each week. If you still want access to the content after 3 months, you pay just $79/month for "alumni membership."
- Cancel anytime. There is no commitment longer than 1 month.
- We offer a 30 day money back guarantee so you can try the first month risk free.
---> Best choice if you want to try the program for a month without committing to the entire process.
Both versions of the online course have exactly the same content.
The only difference is that the "Full Access" version gives you access to the entire 3 month course right from the beginning. The "Monthly Membership" version gives you access to one new module of pathfinding activities each week until you've seen the entire 3 month course.
Why charge $79/month for an "Alumni Membership?"
To continue to motivate you to keep moving through the pathfinding process despite whatever challenges or unforeseeable events arise. It's easy to get distracted the busyness of life and work or pushed away by your doubts and fears. I felt like $79/month was enough to keep pulling you back into the pathfinding process but not so much that it hurts.

Helen, Jordan and I were in Venice. Let's stop right there for a moment. Any story that starts with some form of "we were in Venice" is sure to be a good one. This was back in the summer of 2005. Jordan was 22 months old. Helen was 7 months pregnant with our daughter, Tamar. That was a great trip. Really, I'm not kidding.
Let's start with Helen's fear that Jordan would run off and fall into one of the canals. For a brief moment, she considered getting one of those kid harnesses – but reason prevailed and we found other ways to keep him safe without restraints. One whacky consequence of traveling to Venice when we did was that I carried Jordan, in his stroller, up and over every single bridge – all day, every day – in Venice. That, when combined with 35 lbs of camera gear on my back made for terrific exercise.
In between carrying my son in his stroller, making allowances for meals and naps for both my son and my very pregnant wife, I found time to shoot. Venice is, of course, a marvelous city for finding iconic imagery to capture with a camera. The trick for me, in a city like Venice, is to balance capturing images of recognizable landmarks with capturing images that tell an unexpected and perhaps surprising story.
This is just such an image. We saw this from the tip of St. Mark's Square, looking out at the entrance to the Grand Canal. Of course, this called for a fast lens change and the challenge of capturing both the spirit of the Gondolier and the immense proportion of the cruise ship.
I have another angle of this image that's cropped tighter in on the gondola and is a vertical shot. But it's this shot that I love for the sheer scale of it. Look closely and you can see guests leaning on the their balcony rails, staring down at the Gondolier – and we can see the Gondolier, arms stretched out, straining to get past this goliath alongside of him.
My biggest challenge in capturing this image was keeping the 70-200 zoom lens steady in my hands as I laughed, peering through my viewfinder. An image like this rarely presents itself – but when it does, you need to move quickly, calm down and focus on the task at hand. Exposure, shutter speed, focus, composition – and then the options for each of those. It's a game of beat the clock as the moment is lost within seconds of having recognized it in the first place.
I'm always glad I captured this image in Venice. It is, along with an image of pigeons from St. Marks Square that I shared back in April, 2014, my favorite from my entire week on the island. I'm also glad that Jordan never fell into one of the many canals. That would have been bad.

DEFINITION of 'Functional Currency'
The primary type of money that a company uses in its business activities. Often a company's functional currency is the same as that of the nation in which it is headquartered, though this is not necessarily the case. The functional currency is most relevant for multinational corporations that conduct business in multiple currencies.
For example, a Canadian company with the bulk of its operations in the United States would consider the U.S. dollar its functional currency, even if financial figures on its balance sheet and income statement are expressed in terms of Canadian Dollars.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Functional Currency'
It is often very difficult to ascertain overall business performance when a variety of currencies are involved, however. Therefore, both U.S. GAAP and IAS outline procedures for how these corporations should convert foreign currency transactions into the functional currency for reporting purposes. Foreign exchange is typically not converted in real time, however, which can result in losses and gains due to exchange rate fluctuations.

Ohio lawmaker is pushing to require world history and world culture courses in high school
CINCINNATI -- Before Ohio Sen. Frank LaRose was deployed to Iraq as a green beret, he learned about important differences between Sunni and Shiite Muslims – communities whose differences have led to deadly conflicts throughout the Arab world.
People named Abu Bakr or a variation on that name, he knew, were invariably Sunni, and those named Ali were Shiite. LaRose was able to use information like that to avoid missteps as he established relationships.
"It made me more effective at my job for having a basic appreciation for the people I was working with," LaRose said.
The Republican senator from Copley Township near Akron cites his experience as one reason why a basic knowledge of other cultures and their histories is invaluable to well-educated Americans.
To that end, LaRose has sponsored a bill that would require Ohio high school students be taught at least one world history and civilizations class, a move he and other proponents say is key to succeeding in a world brought ever closer by globalization.
"We're stating that if Ohio students are going to compete and succeed in a global economy, they're going to have to know about the other 96 percent of the people on this planet," he said, adding, "Anybody with a smart phone can transact global commerce."
Ohio doesn't require world history be taught, but most school districts throughout the state do require that it be taken by sophomores, a choice bolstered by the fact that the Ohio Graduation Test covers world events.
But that test will be retired as early as next school year and be replaced by new tests that will cover much less world history. LaRose and other proponents worry that school districts will reduce or eliminate their world cultures requirements to devote more time to American history and government, which will be tested extensively, unless the state steps in with a new directive.
"What's tested is usually what's taught," LaRose said.
Current Ohio law requires high school students to take American history, American government, and two units of unspecified "social studies." The law would switch one of those unspecified courses to a world cultures and civilizations requirement.
"It's not going to fix everything to ensure that kids are literate about the globe and our country, but without it, there's not even a chance of them getting a basic foundation," said Corbin Moore, president of the Ohio Council for Social Studies .
He fears that students could graduate from high school having never covered seminal events like the Holocaust except through reading "The Diary of Anne Frank."
John Charlton, spokesman for the Ohio Department of Education, said world history would be covered in the new end-of-course exam only as it pertained to America's role in important events. He cited immigration, foreign affairs, imperialism, the two world wars, Korean and Vietnam wars, the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, post-Cold War period, and the Persian Gulf War.
"The American government (end-of-class exam) does not cover world history," he said.
Asked if the department will advocate for world history absent the Ohio Graduation Test requirements, Charlton said: "The (department) does advocate for students to receive a strong social studies education that includes world history."
That advocacy is non-binding on school districts, though, absent new legislation.
Julie Sellers, president of the Cincinnati Federation of Teachers, supports Ohio making world cultures a required course, particularly to ensure low-income students don't lose the chance to take it. Many impoverished students have to take remedial courses to catch up to their peers, and those courses may crowd out world history unless it's required, she said.
"I agree with the Ohio Council for the Social Studies," Sellers said.
LaRose's bill, Senate Bill 96 , is considered budget neutral because the only change it would make to current law would be to dictate that one social studies course that is already required be shifted from an open-ended elective to a course "in the study of world history and cultures from around the world other than that of the United States."
The bill cleared the education committee 8-0 in mid-February and could be considered by the full senate soon at the discretion of senate leaders.
"What our bill does is very simple and straightforward," LaRose said. "We're not dictating any specific curriculum."
As a veteran, LaRose has a particular interest in equipping graduates for international government work.
"For us to be prepared for military and diplomatic service, we need to have people educated about other cultures," he said.
Some students who have a penchant for world affairs may be set on a path in that field thanks to that first required class, he said.
Moore said that
a basic literacy of world affairs has broader career consequences.
"It would be pretty sad that if in this day and age Ohio kids wouldn't learn anything about the world," he said. "Too bad that the kids who want to work at Procter & Gamble, or someplace like that, would know nothing about the countries they're trying to sell products to," he said.
Moore hopes that voters and legislators see the issue as a non-partisan one:
"We're not lobbyists. We're just concerned teachers who want our kids to be competitive with kids around the world and to be the best citizens they can be."

My studio
Since some of you have asked, here are some pics of my studio. We moved into this GA house mid August.
I cleaned it up today! It was very "frit-ified".
Still have half of it to organize, but it's on the other side of my workspace wall so I don't have to look at it.
Click on photos to see larger.
Looking towards the front door
My workbench. There's a roll out cart with beads, globs, rocks,etc. I have glass and thinset in the bottom white cabinet.
Glass cutting and grinding area. Tubs of scrap glass underneath.
Side of room going towards the backside
The other side of the studio. I still have more organizing to do in this area. My band saw, a couple of workbenches and a storage closet are in this area.
OH BAMA!!! WOW!!! What a huge space...is this a house?? It's so beautiful! I am STILL changing stuff around as I go along..revamping storage areas and such, and I only have an 11x20, and most of that has my big worktable 4x6(on wheels...nice). I thought the first pic was your new home and that maybe you had a basement studio!lol! I copied Flag's shelving! You have an amazing studio Girlie!!!
This is nice, what a nice big space. You are sooo lucky to have it. I have to work on my dining room table. In the summer I have a space on an enclosed porce, but its not heated and in Upstate New York it gets really cold. It's snowing today.

NASHVILLE - Since January 2002, the passing rate of those taking the GED exam in Tennessee has climbed 12 percent to an all-time high of 76 percent. Strategic planning, focused on customer satisfaction, and strong partnerships between the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, local programs, and testing sites are credited for the growth.
"We instituted a policy in January 2003 that requires individuals to take the Official GED Practice Test before they are allowed to take the real test," said Labor and Workforce Development Commissioner James Neeley. "A passing score is not required; however, local adult education programs have done an outstanding job of counseling those who are not ready to pass to enroll in class and provided them with the quality instruction they need. Our number one goal in instituting this policy was to decrease failure and frustration on the part of hundreds of students who took the test with no preparation and failed, often multiple times. We are succeeding in doing that."
Statewide training in the Malcolm Baldrige Criteria for Success, as part of the Tennessee Quality Award program, is another reason adult education programs are increasing the success level of GED test-takers. "Using the Baldrige Criteria as a tool for quality management and continuous improvement has caused our programs to step back and look at how they operate," according to Adult Education Director Phil White. "With the customer, or student, in mind, programs are re-designing the way they do business to operate more efficiently and serve their customers more effectively."
With this increase, the Tennessee pass rate is now on par with those states that do require a passing score. "At this point," said White, "there are no plans to require a certain score on the Practice Test. As part of our strategic plan, however, we will set higher goals and take the necessary steps to achieve an even higher passing rate over the next five years."

Themed Set: Anabaptists
3 comments February 6th, 2015 Headsman
One of the recurring themes that these grim annals encounter is the Anabaptists; one might almost say that the movement's birth pangs can be written in the blood of its martyrs.
Despised in the 16th century of both Catholics and Lutherans, so-called "re-baptizers"* were hanged, burned, drowned, beheaded, and harried from pillar to post across Europe.
Anabaptists frequently suffered execution by drowning in Switzerland, Germany, and the Low Countries: an allusion in the execution spectacle to the disputed baptism rite. Pictured: Maria of Montjoie (Maria van Montjou), martyred on the German border in 1552.
They're forerunners of today's Quakers, Mennonites, and Amish, among others; to find these amiable sects numbered among civilization's existential threats over the disputed timing of a proper Christian ablution is to remember that the past is another country.
Of course, there was more to it than that.
To challenge infant baptism was to challenge the clergy's power over the ceremony, and in turn to challenge the vertical hierarchy so essential to the period's conception of the world.
If the polemical Catholic charge against what we might anachronistically term "mainline Protestantism" was that the Reformation opened the road for disordering everything, Anabaptists looked like that very reductio ad absurdum made flesh. (Martin Luther was certainly keen to dissociate himself, as was John Calvin, who termed Anabaptists a "nefarious herd.") Anabaptists took to primitive, fraternal Christianity — the kind thought to have existed among the immediate heirs of the Apostles before the Church became another word for the Man. They rejected as un-Scriptural the authority ordained ministers claimed as God's interlocutors. Many Anabaptists also worryingly disdained private property. To a greater or lesser extent, these critiques (cousins of which had long drawn official persecution) contradicted the power of established Christian elites both secular and ecclesiastical.
And though pacifism was a prominent part of Anabaptist thinking from the start, the movement's idealism also fueled millenarian apostles bearing swords, and this too terrified Christendom.
The 1524-1525 Peasants War (idealized by a later era's Communists) was led by Thomas Müntzer, who was influenced by proto-Anabaptist preachers and who himself rejected infant baptism. A decade later, Anabaptists seized control of Münster and briefly turned that city into a polygamous theocracy.
Surely Anabaptism, then being speedily reshaped by events, would connote a very different thing for us today absent the bloody defeats dealt to these revolutionaries — and absent the many executions that its persecuted adherents endured. We give this site over for the next several days to Anabaptist martyrs: not necessarily its most illustrious ones, but representatives of the many people stirred in those days to make a testament of faith on the scaffold.
Feb. 6: Ambrosius Spittelmayr
Feb. 7: Cornelis Appelman and Willem Zeylmaker
Feb. 8: Georg Wagner
* "Re-baptizer" is the literal Greek root of the term Anabaptist. Affixed by their enemies, the word was long rejected by the Anabaptists themselves on the theological grounds that infant baptism was an empty ritual — and therefore adults weren't being re-baptized at all, but simply baptized for the first time.

Interesting Christmas gifts
I thought this would be a good topic for those of us who are stuck on what to buy.
I need fun suggestions for men if you have any. Not only do we buy gifts, we do a secret santa (nice little gifts) and a Dirty Santa.
This was on The Today Show and I ordered it. It's a cupcake maker with good reviews. I also ordered two sizes of cupcake liners and I'll buy a cake mix and can of frosting for my friend's first batch. lol.
This company makes other little "makers" also. I'd love for someone to give me this!
Please share interesting and fun gifts that you know of.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cupcake Maker
If I remember right, Herberger's dept store carries these. Cannot remember the price. I thought there were cute.
Since my family (not DH and me) are deer hunters, our son in law and ourselves are going in together to have our GD's husband deer head mounted. It is a 6 by 4 rack. Now, if you understand all of this, good, because I don't. It was that or a gift card.
The guys around here like the buffalo or venison jerky also or anything connected with hunting or bar b ques.
I honestly know that there are many that will enjoy these things but I am trying to stop adding things to my kitchen when I already have something that will do the job. My kitchen is filled with this and that and gadgets and "crap" that I neither need or use often enough to justify the space. I don't want this to be a negative post but my question about these gadgets is why????
I think gadgets are fun. I love receiving them as gifts and if some of them end up in the next garage sale, that's okay. My favorite gift to receive is an Amazon or iTunes gift card.
I think it was two years ago that I bought all the women on my list those gloves that allow you to text without taking them off. Those were a huge hit. They also liked the tissue weight cashmere shawls I found at Restoration Hardware because they fold up very small, but are big enough and warm enough to keep the chill off in a restaurant or church.
Why are women so much easier for me to buy for than men?
I gave my brother a beer-making kit. I gave the men personalized bottles of Heinz ketchup one year. I've given them wine and a battery-operated wine opener. The battery-operated pepper mill was a big hit. It's the one that automatically grinds when you tilt it over the pan or dish.
I wait until the show up at Goodwill, then I buy them! LOL!!! I get to satisfy my curiosity and save lots of money. If they don't work for me, I can re-donate them and haven't spent a lot of money.
I no longer buy gifts for people. I give money and gift cards to my Grandkids and Kids - everyone is happy.
Since you asked for unusual....most of the men on my list are backyard grillers ; some are quite serious about it, while others not so much. They all loved receiving aged apple wood chips. Applewood smoke lends a light, sweet, woodsy taste to grilled meat, very unlike hickory or mesquite which can overpower the natural flavor and taste.
A box of seasoned applewood in kindling and larger sizes was always appreciated by those with fireplaces. The fragrance of the burning wood is wonderful....and the colors of the flames! Ooh la la.
Orchard owners wherever I've lived have always been very kind to share their annual pruned wood. I would collect it in the winter /spring and stockpile it until the next Xmas.
Along that same line, I used to get asked for boxes of Loblolly, cedar, and other cones. I've made ornaments of sun bleached sand dollars collected myself...washed and sealed to make them harder and nestled by the dozen into a bed of cleaned Spanish moss.
Rhizo, funny you mention wood from an orchard. Last night I was helping dh bring wood in for a fire. I grabbed a pile, and he said "no no, we don't use that, it's Apricot wood for smoking." LOL.
I also love gadgets. The recipient I'm giving the cupcake maker to is much younger than me and I've seen her bring bakery cupcakes to gatherings, so I thought she could have fun with this for a little bit.
Fun, I saw one pair of gloves for texting, and they really look interesting. I know just the person to buy them for. Thanks for the suggestion!
There are lots of unique wine openers out there, including an electric one. They make good gifts for serious wine drinkers. :-)
Sports fans might like one of the many books about their favorite teams. Just look up the team name on Amazon.
After the recent power outages, I'm giving corded land line phones to two people. I bought them, brand new in their boxes, on eBay for about $5 apiece. I've always had one in the house to give me phone service when the power goes out.
I love the wood chips idea--thanks!
Now I'm waiting to hear more about the Dirty Santa..... LOL
Alisande, I watch my grandkids once a week and demanded my son buy a landline phone. He did and he was so grateful after they lost power.
Another good gift are those book lights for power outtages. They clip on your book and you can move the lamp to shine on your page. The first time I used it I was sooo happy to read when we lost power. We were without power for 30 days after an ice storm, so I bought one for everybody.
Today I bought 2 24oz. Tervis Tumblers w/traveling lids. One has a college logo on it for the man, and the other is kind of girly for a lady. They're kind of pricey but they have a lifetime guarantee. My favorite glasses!
I also bought some soup, dips, and biscuit mixes from The Old Mill. Those will be nice for the secret santa.
Fun, I bought the gloves. The recipient travels a lot & spends time outdoors doing appraisals, and he's addicted to his iPhone. Perfect!
I'm loving these suggestions!
old fashion, but box of hankies..swear dh uses them all the time...wood hangers...wallet...small swss army knife...golf tees...golf balls w/name...copy of the christmas story lamp (they also have night light size ones)cedar chips for shoes/clothes
Penzey's spices have wonderful gift boxes already made up, and when my son received one several years ago he loved the aroma that wafted out when he opened it, from the cinnamon sticks and other things that are packed around the spices. You can always purchase individual spices and make up your own box, too.
As I have 3 teenage grandsons..it has become equally hard to find anything they don't already have. So, last year I bought each of them a hooded sweatshirt that zips up the front. Inside of each of them, I used small safety pins and pinned 10 $5 bills all over the inside..making sure they were below the neckline so they couldn't see them. Their moms were in on this and once they opened them thee moms told them to immediately try them on so if they didn't fit-she had the receipts so they could be returned. They loved the presentation..a little 'element of surprise'. As for the 'older guys'..you could use the same technique and pin gift cards inside..such as car wash certificate, McD's, Dunkin' Donuts, movie tickets, gift card to a sports shop, etc., etc.
What a wonderful idea, Sharon.fl
My grandchildren, when they were young, asked for money rather than a gift. They told me they would spend it on Boxing Day and get a lot more. Made them happy and made things very easy for me. Now I make gift card holders and love to put gift cards in them. They like that too.

Hey all
I'm trying to decide exactly how I'm going to assemble my keggles. To do this, I need to decide how I plan to rack to my fermentation vessel, and I need your help.
All I've done in the past is stick my pot in an ice bath, and drop an immersion chiller inside of it. This typically dropped all of the crud to the bottom, so I could very easily siphon the wort off the top, leaving the crud in the pot.
There are many reasons I don't think this will work with a full boil in a keggle. I've seen false bottoms, pot scrubbers, copper pipes, etc..
What do you all do? What do your valves look like?
I am going to do the whirlpool method I have my pickup tube on the side of my keggle and my trub cone will be in the center I should have roughly 2 cups if that left in the bottom after all is said and done.
Prefer the false bottom. Too much hops & trub for me to use the whirlpool side method as shown above. Full sized FB provides more surface area to handle all the stuff we want to leave in the kettle. I've done hop stopper & bazooka tube, neither of which worked well in my set up.
Does whirlpooling 200-degree wort actually get the trub and hops and such down to the bottom? I've only used an IC, but have noticed that nothing seems to settle until the wort is chilled.
And the false bottom -- did you fabricate your own, or purchase one? Does it work well for hop pellets?
I wonder if a combination of whirlpooling and a false bottom would help? Or would the whirlpooling just force the crud through the false bottom.. hmm...
I use a weldless fitting with a copper dip tube attached. Dip tube is bent/angled so that it pulls from the bottom of the keggle (i.e. that little flat spot in the middle).
I use a hop bag, everything else that is pulled off runs through a CFC and into the fermenter. I don't bother to whirlpool anymore.
as the odd ball here. I have been use'n my auto siphon, two years now with a keggle and I still havent drilled the hole. and I like it this way. I cool,let it settle and pull clear wort off the top. ahhhhh,one day .....
I bag my hops and that keeps a ton of crap off the bottom.

Microsoft Phases Out XNA and DirectX? 256
from the so-long-farewell-auf-weidersehen-goodbye dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
So, were they lying then, or are they lying now? Either way, we seem to be getting different story from anonymous PR bunnies in unspecified divisions.
Me, I get the vague impression that Uncle Fester is losing his grip, and that Microsoft's System Lords are preparing to carve mini-empires out of the wreckage when it comes off the rails.

On Friday afternoon at the National Corvette Museum, Corvette Team Members Harlan Charles and John Fitzpatrick pulled the covers off of two cars to reveal the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Premiere Ediion. The Laguna Blue 3LT Brownstone Corvette Coupes will be specially numbered and limited to 500 examples. After the covers were pulled, Harlan says
The sound of horsepower will soon fill the air across the highway from the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. That's because the NCM's fundraising goal to raise an additional $1 million for the Motorsports Park by June 1st has come true. In fact, the Museum surpassed that amount by $95,471! With that goal
The National Corvette Museum welcomed a special visitor today. Rutledge Wood, co-host of Top Gear USA on the History Channel and a reporter for SPEED TV made a personal video to the NCM and toured the exhibits. During the visit, Corvette Assembly Plant Manager Dave Tatman brought over a new Velocity Yellow 2014 Corvette Stingray
The Motorsports Park near the National Corvette Museum continues to roar closer and closer to reality every day. Crews hope to be done in 45 days as they began clearing the 184 acres of land last week for the track, which will be located off Porter Pike across from the museum on the opposite side
Enthusiasts at the 2013 Corvette Museum C4 ZR1 gathering that starts today and runs through Sunday in Bowling Green, Kentucky will have a chance to see and hear inside information about their cars.

PC Advisor speed test result query
Likes # 0
Posted May 23, 2012 at 8:51AM
Hi folks,
I have performed the PC Advisor broadband speed test and seem to get an odd result.
The test says my download speed is 0.48 Mbps which seems far too low and tests using three other speed checkers say my speed is between 4.3 and 4.4 Mbps.
Can anyone explain please?

Variations can happen sometimes, depending on the route the test might take, at the time of the check.
Always pays to try other 'reliable' speed-tests, and then make the best assessment to your speeds, as it would seem that you have already tried.
http://www.speedtest.net is a reliable checker, which is recommended by some ISP's. With this speed checker - tester your can make your own decision as to where you want the test to start, and how the various results appear.

Many thanks,
I was getting around 1.5 Mbps until I complained to my ISP then the speed increased to aroun 4.9 for a month or so.
Now it has stabilised at around 4.3 Mbps.
Thanks for your response.

Controls are basic elements of user-interaction in user interface. The control is a rectangular area which can take user input and/ or display output. The rectangular area which contains controls is called container.
This article well-explains the way to scroll the container up and down with its contents i.e. creating an scrollable conatiner. Moving the entire container up and down. It can be useful when it is limited screen size and many controls are present in one view only. This article provides the code snippest to do so with comments at varios places to let it understandable.

Watch Patti Smith Cover Rihanna's "Stay"
By Carrie Battan on January 22, 2014 at 9:27 a.m. EST
Here's something cool that was lost in the year-end abyss of late December: Patti Smith paid tribute to Rihanna by performing "Stay", the subdued ballad (and duet with Mikky Ekko) from last year's Unapologetic, during her show at New York's Webster Hall on December 30. She stumbled a little bit—"I'm sorry, I'm just nervous," she said—which made it even more perfect. This should earn her a lifelong honorary membership in the Rihanna Navy.

Last night's 23rd annual Tibet House Benefit concert at Carnegie Hall-- curated by Philip Glass and featuring tUne-yArDs, Ariel Pink, Jim James, Ira Glass, and Patti Smith among others-- was one of the least self-important benefit concerts I've ever seen. There was almost no sense of "event," which ended up working to the show's advantage. By the end of the night, the Carnegie stage felt more like a living room than a concert hall.

Widow of Slain Arkansas Democratic Chairman to Attend DNC
August 21, 2008 - 12:09 PMThe widow of slain state Democratic Party Chairman Bill Gwatney will fill his spot at the Democratic National Convention in Denver next week, the governor said Thursday.
Gov. Mike Beebe said Rebecca Gwatney accepted an invitation from party leaders to fill the vacancy left in the state's delegation when her husband was killed last week.
Bill Gwatney, who would have turned 49 during the convention, was shot and killed Aug. 13 at state party headquarters, just two blocks from the Capitol.
The gunman, Timothy Dale Johnson, was shot dead by police after leading them on a 30-mile chase. Authorities said Johnson had abruptly quit his job at a Target store earlier in the day after being questioned about some graffiti on a store wall. Other than that, authorities had no motive for the shooting.
Gwatney had supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential bid after Arkansas' primary but switched his support to Sen. Barack Obama when Clinton left the race.

Hi: 12° Lo:8°
By Laura Maltby Thursday 03 January 2013 Updated: 08/01 09:03
GOLDEN boy James Roe has topped off a dream year by being awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours.
The 24-year-old scooped gold in the LTA Mixed Coxed Four at Eton Dorney during the Paralympics in September to secure the only rowing medal for the host nation.
James said: "To be named MBE on the Queen's New Year Honours list is the perfect conclusion to an amazing year."
He was given a hero's welcome when he returned home to Stratford after his success on the water with more than a thousand people lining the streets as he paraded in an open-top bus from Stratford Boat Club to the town hall.
The former KES pupil had previously been given the golden seal of approval by the Royal Mail when two postboxes on Bridge Street were painted gold and he also had his achievement commemorated with a specially produced Royal stamp.
And now along with fellow crew members, Pam Relph, Naomi Riches, David Smith and cox Lily van den Broecke, James has become a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) for his services to rowing.
He plans to have a year off during which time he will be coaching youngsters at Stratford Boat Club before deciding on whether to compete at Rio 2016.
Talking about James' success, club president Felix Badcock said: "We were very proud James received his MBE and we felt it was very well deserved.
"He devoted himself to training for four years and it just shows what can be done with hard work and dedication."
He admitted the club had been forced to increase the number of junior sessions on the back of James' success and added: "We are delighted to be seeing a lot more of James as he will be able to pass on his expertise to enthusiastic young rowers and help create stars of the future."

Research Assistants
Undergraduate Research Assistants Needed.
The major purpose for undergraduate research is to provide an opportunity for qualified undergraduates to obtain firsthand, supervised research experiences in psychology. Students may assist professors and/or graduate students with a research project by helping to prepare the study, collect data, and/or enter data into computers.
Students can obtain pass/fail elective credit for their assistance if desired, or they can serve as a research assistant voluntarily. Whichever option is selected, obtaining research experience can be a valuable asset when applying for graduate school or jobs after graduation.
Please read each project description carefully, and contact the professor or graduate student listed for further information.
Project: Parental Alienation Project
Date Posted: 02/11/2015
Description: Dr. Jennifer Jill Harman (Psychology) and Dr. Zeynep Biringen (HDFS) are looking for undergraduates who would like to join the Parental Alienation Project as research assistants for the summer 2015. Parental alienation involves one (or both) parent(s) using a child against the other parent, with the intent of destroying or damaging the relationship between them. This research project is examining how parents cope with this situation, their legal and social service experiences to address it, and the impact it has on their relationship with their children. The project also aims to better understand why this problem is so prevalent, and to find solutions and interventions to help stop it.
Duties: Duties may include assisting with the transcription of interviews conducted with parents, attending lab meetings, assisting with qualitative coding of transcripts for themes, conducting literature searches, among other tasks.
Minimum requirements: To be eligible, students need a minimum 3.0 GPA and need to be able to commit a minimum of two semesters to the project. The research team is looking for students with a strong interest in research or clinical work, for example, students who are considering a graduate degree in HDFS, Psychology, or Social Work.
Research assistant positions open: 4
Contact info: Dr. Jennifer Jill Harman, PhD, firstname.lastname@example.com
Web page: To learn more about the project, please visit the lab website: http://lamar.colostate.edu/~jjharman/
Application Instructions: Email Dr. Harman at firstname.lastname@example.com, stating the reason for your interest in the project and any prior research experience. Attach a resume if you have one.
Application Deadline: N/A. Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.
Project: Food Media in Nepal
Date Posted: 12/05/2014
Description: Some food marketing messages can encourage people to eat unhealthy diets. This project is looking at these messages in Nepal. Some data are recorded TV food commercials from childrens television, and other data are experimental survey responses about labels on food packages.
