In this example we become graphic by drawing a cute little blue cannon. Only cannon.rb differs from the previous chapter.
def paintEvent(event) painter = Qt::Painter.new(self) </code> We'll now start to use [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpainter.html Qt::Painter] in earnest. We create a painter that operates on this widget. <syntaxhighlight lang="ruby"> painter.setPen(Qt::NoPen) </code> The edges of what [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpainter.html Qt::Painter] draws are drawn using the pen. Here we set it to [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qt.html#PenStyle-enum Qt::NoPen], meaning that there will be no special edge when we draw something. <syntaxhighlight lang="ruby"> painter.setBrush(Qt::Brush.new(Qt::blue)) </code> When [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpainter.html Qt::Painter] fills a rectangle, a circle, or whatever, it fills the shape using its brush. Here we set it to use a solid blue brush. (We could also use a pattern.) The blue brush will go all the way to the edges of the things we draw. <syntaxhighlight lang="ruby"> painter.translate(0, rect().height()) </code> The [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpainter.html#translate Qt::Painter::translate()] function translates the coordinate system of the [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpainter.html Qt::Painter] (i.e., it moves it by an offset). Here we set the (0, 0) point to the bottom-left corner of the widget. The x and y directions remain unchanged, i.e., all the y coordinates inside the widget are now negative. (See [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/coordsys.html The Coordinate System] for more information about Qt's coordinate system.) <syntaxhighlight lang="ruby"> painter.drawPie(Qt::Rect.new(-35, -35, 70, 70), 0, 90 * 16) </code> The [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpainter.html#drawPie Qt::Painter::drawPie()] function draws a pie shape inside the specified rectangle using a start angle and an arc length. The angles are specified in sixteenths of a degree. Zero degrees is at the 3 o'clock position. The drawing direction is counter-clockwise. Here we draw a quarter of a circle in the bottom-left corner of the widget. The pie is filled with blue and has no outline. <syntaxhighlight lang="ruby"> painter.rotate(-@currentAngle) </code> The [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpainter.html#rotate Qt::Painter::rotate()] function rotates the coordinate system of the [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpainter.html Qt::Painter] around the origin. The rotation argument is given in degrees (not given in sixteenths of a degree as above) and clockwise. Here we rotate the coordinate system '''<tt>@currentAngle</tt>''' degrees counter-clockwise. <syntaxhighlight lang="ruby"> painter.drawRect(Qt::Rect.new(30, -5, 20, 10)) </code> The [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpainter.html#drawRect Qt::Painter::drawRect()] function draws the specified rectangle. Here we draw the barrel of the cannon. It can often be difficult to envision the resulting drawing when the coordinate system has been transformed ( translated, rotated, scaled, or sheared) as above. In this case the coordinate system is first translated and then rotated. If the rectangle [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qrect.html Qt::Rect].new(30, -5, 20, 10) had been drawn in the translated coordinate system, it would have looked like this: [[Image:Qt4_Ruby_Tutorial_Screenshot_9-incorrect.png|center]] Note that the rectangle is clipped by the border of the '''<tt>CannonField</tt>''' widget. When we rotate the coordinate system, for instance 60 degrees, the rectangle will be rotated around (0, 0), which is the bottom-left corner because we have translated the coordinate system. The result looks like this: [[Image:Qt4_Ruby_Tutorial_Screenshot_9-correct.png|center]] === Running the Application === When the slider is operated the angle of the drawn cannon changes accordingly. === Exercises === Set a different pen instead of [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qt.html#PenStyle-enum Qt::NoPen]. Set a patterned brush. [[Category:Ruby]]

In this article
Each week, we've planned easy-to-prepare meals that you and your baby can share. Here you'll find all the recipes you need to follow in week three of our you-and-baby meal planners. Lunch recipes are for one or two, and dinner recipes are for four.
Monday's recipes
For you: ricotta and avocado wrap
Serves oneIngredients
- 2 tbsp ricotta cheese
- 1 tortilla wrap
- Half a ripe avocado, chopped
Lay out the tortilla wrap and spread the ricotta down the middle. Then sprinkle over the pieces of avocado. Roll up the wrap and cut in half to serve.
For your baby: avocado, asparagus and ricotta dip
Serves oneThere's nothing better than asparagus when it's in season. This blend of vegetables with the Italian soft cheese, ricotta, is a good source of vitamin E, folate and calcium.
- 3 spears of asparagus, trimmed and cut into pieces
- Half a ripe avocado
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp ricotta
Steam the asparagus until tender, and cool. Blend all the ingredients together and use as dip with baby breadsticks and cooked carrot batons.
For you: grilled plaice/cod with ratatouille and new potatoes
Serves fourIngredients
- 4 fillets of plaice or cod
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 large courgette, diced
- 1 large pepper, yellow or red, seeded and diced
- 1 aubergine, diced
- 6 tomatoes, skinned and seeded
- 12 new potatoes (3 per person)
Lightly fry the onion in the oil, and add all the other vegetables. Stir, cover and turn down the heat, allow to cook until the vegetables are tender. This should take about 30 minutes. In another pan, boil the potatoes until cooked. Meanwhile, place the fillets of plaice or cod in a pre-heated grill for about 10 minutes until cooked. Serve at once, putting some of the ratatouille and new potatoes aside for your baby's dinner.
For your baby: baby ratatouille
Serves oneIngredients
- Ratatouille left over from your dinner
Puree or mash the ratatouille to an appropriate consistency for your baby. Mash the new potatoes well, and add some of your baby's usual milk to make the mixture creamy.
Tuesday's recipes
For you and your baby: cottage cheese and pea mash
Serves oneThis light meal is so easy to prepare. It will help you and your baby top up on iron and vitamin C. Have yours with a baked potato.
- 1 medium sized baking potato
- 100g frozen peas
- 100g cottage cheese
- Bread fingers
Cook the potato by either putting it in the oven for an hour at 200 degrees C, or by microwaving it for five minutes on full power. The potato may not be crispy if you cook it in the microwave, so you could finish it off in the oven for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, boil the peas on the hob until just tender. Mash together with the cottage cheese. For you, spread the mash in your baked potato, and for your baby serve with fingers of bread.
For you: pork chops with sweet potato and cheese mash and wilted spinach
Serves fourThis colourful mash is packed with beta-carotene, and also contains calcium and vitamin C.
- 4 pork chops
- Sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 3 carrots, peeled and diced
- 100g hard cheese, such as cheddar, grated
Boil the vegetables together until just tender. Steam the spinach in a sieve over the vegetables for the last few minutes of cooking. Meanwhile, rub the pork chops with olive oil and add salt and pepper. Cook rind-side-down in a frying pan over medium-high heat for five minutes until crisp. Then turn the chops over and cook for another three minutes until cooked through. Check the juices of the meat run clear.
When the sweet potato and carrots are cooked, mash them together and add the cheese. Serve alongside the pork chops and spinach. Save some of the mash for your baby's dinner.
For your baby: sweet potato and cheese mash
Serves oneIngredients
- Some mash mixture from your dinner
Serve warm. You could puree the mash if you wish.
Wednesday's recipes
For you and your baby: sardine and avocado spread with rye crackers
Serves oneThis richly satisfying snack is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids, calcium and vitamin E.
- 2 canned sardines in oil, drained and well mashed
- Half an avocado
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Mash the ingredients well together. Spread on rye crackers for you, and on toast for your baby.
For you: lamb with apple and spiced couscous

- Large pinch ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp dried tarragon
- 4 large handfuls of couscous

Meanwhile, place the couscous in a bowl, pour over some vegetable stock, and cover for five minutes. Serve at once with the lamb mixture. Leave some of the lamb aside for your baby's dinner.
For your baby: lamb with apple
Serves oneIngredients
- Some cooked lamb mince, apple and courgette mixture from your dinner
Puree to remove large lumps.
Thursday's recipes
For you and your baby: cod and sweetcorn chowder

- 1 medium floury potato, peeled and diced
- 2 bayleaves
- 100g frozen sweetcorn

Add the corn to the milk, bring to the boil and cook for a couple of minutes. Return the other ingredients to the pan, add the parsley and bring back to the boil. Mash a little for yourself (this will thicken it up), and either puree or mash for your baby. Serve yours with a wholegrain roll.
For you and your baby: savoury chicken casserole with rice
Serves fourThis delicately flavoured recipe makes a good family meal. It's an excellent source of iron, and also contains beta-carotene and vitamin C.
- 1 onion, chopped finely

Sunday's recipes
For you: roast beef with roast potatoes, green beans and carrots
Serves fourIngredients
- 1.5kg topside of beef
- Handful of fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, bay or sage
- 4 tbsps olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 200g green beans, topped and tailed
- 4 medium carrots, peeled
- 1.2kg potatoes, such as maris piper, peeled and cut into rough chunks
Take your beef out of the fridge 30 minutes before it goes into the oven. Preheat your oven to 240 degrees C. Put the herbs into the middle of a large roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil.
Drizzle the beef with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper, rubbing it all over the meat. Place the beef on top of the herbs.
Place the roasting tray in the preheated oven. Turn the heat down immediately to 200 degrees C and cook for an hour for medium beef. Baste the beef halfway through cooking.
Meanwhile, make the roast potatoes. Add the potatoes to a large pan of boiling water. Cook on a high heat for about 10 minutes until the outside of the potatoes starts to break down slightly. Drain in a colander and leave to steam dry for a couple of minutes. Then toss the colander a few times to fluff up the potatoes.
Add four tablespoons of olive oil to a roasting tray. Put the tray in the top of your oven to heat up. Once hot, carefully tip the potatoes into the tray. The fat may spit, but once it's stopped spitting, coat the potatoes with the fat. Season with salt and pepper and cook in the oven, basting now and then, for 45 to 50 minutes.
When the beef is cooked to your liking, take the tray out of the oven and transfer the beef to a board to rest for 15 minutes. Cover with tinfoil and a towel.
Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the carrots, bring back to the boil and then simmer for five minutes. Add the green beans and allow to simmer for a further five minutes.
Serve slices of beef with the vegetables, reserving some to puree for your baby (see below).
For your baby: beef and green beans
Serves oneUse beef, green beans and potato from your roast lunch. This meal is an excellent source of iron and vitamin C.
- Small slice of beef
- 50g green beans
- Flesh scooped out of a roast potato
Place the beans and beef in a blender and whizz together with a tablespoon water until smooth. Mash the potato into the bean and beef mix.
For you: apple and pear crumble
Serves fourIngredients
- 4 apples, peeled, cored and chopped
- 4 pears, peeled, cored and chopped
- 2 tbsp sultanas
- 50g walnut pieces
- 150g wholemeal flour
- 100g olive oil spread
- 2 tbsp demerara sugar
- 125g muesli or a mixture of oats, seeds and chopped nuts
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees C.
Place the apples and pear in a saucepan, add four tablespoons of water and cook gently until soft. Put some of the apples and pears aside for your baby, and then transfer the rest into an ovenproof dish and sprinkle over the sultanas and walnuts.
Make the crumble topping by placing the flour in a bowl and rub in the spread. Use the tips of your fingers to work the mixture into crumbs. Mix in the sugar and muesli and place on top of the apple mixture.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until golden brown on top.
For your baby: apple and pear puree
Serves oneIngredients
- Cooked apples and pears from the crumble you made earlier
Puree the apples and pears until smooth.
For you and your baby: eggy bread
Serves oneEggy bread is a great stand-by meal, and is popular with most babies. It's a good source of iron and B vitamins.
- 2 slices of soft wholemeal bread
- 2 eggs, well beaten
- A little oil or butter for frying
Heat the oil or butter in a frying pan. Dip the bread in the eggs, turning to coat both sides well. Carefully place into the hot fat, and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the heat and place on kitchen paper to absorb any surplus oil or butter. For your baby, cut into tiny fingers, and serve along with some slices of tomato or satsuma.

With all the comments on the hazards of formaldehyde lately in regards to lab people, I was just wondering if there have been any surveys on how this has affected morticians. I have a brother-in-law who is a mortician and have never heard him comment on any hazards they routinely encounter. Just curious. Karen in Omaha

Flyers win Berube's coaching debut
Grim faced, hands on his hips, Craig Berube looked like the angriest man in Philadelphia.
The coach the Flyers call "Chief" could afford to smile.
He won his debut — and helped the Flyers avoid their first 0-4 start in franchise history.
Brayden Schenn and Braydon Coburn scored goals, and Steve Mason had 33 saves to make Berube a winner, leading the Flyers past the Florida Panthers 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Berube was on the bench a day after Peter Laviolette was fired after a 0-3 start. Laviolette dealt with rumors of his firing last season, a year in which the Flyers missed the playoffs after the lockout-shortened season.
Don't pop the bubbly for win No. 1.
"It's over," Berube said. "We're worried about tomorrow and practice."
With Berube calling the shots, the Flyers scored their season high for goals. So, there's still work ahead.
"We have to get better, we have to have more of an attack," Berube said. "I know we do have good offensive players here. It's just a matter of getting them confident."
Mason stopped all 12 shots in the first period and the first 12 of the second until Brad Boyes scored his first of the season with 6 seconds left.
Mason, who improved to 5-0 against Florida, came up big when he stopped Shawn Matthias on a short-handed breakaway early in the second.
"He just had an answer for all of our shots," Matthias said. "We have to get giddier and work on it."
Mason and Ray Emery worked as a tandem in net. Berube gave no indication if he would stick with Mason or use both.
"That's up to Chief to decide who goes in," Mason said. "You guys want to make this huge deal out of it. But Razor and I, our job is just every day, not matter who's in net, is to be the better goalie of the two playing that night. We're not going to dwell on who's starting."
Berube arrived steeped in the orange-and-black tradition, with 20 goals and 54 points over parts of seven seasons with the Flyers. He played for four other teams over a 17-year career and his 3,149 penalty minutes are seventh in NHL history.
Berube, in his seventh season coaching within the organization, was promoted to replace Laviolette. He is the 18th coach in franchise history.
His hard-nosed style quickly rubbed off on the Flyers.
Check out our latest Facebook updates, tweets and photos.
"With the career he had, the type of player he was, he's not going to take anything from people," Mason said. "Guys better be working hard."
The Flyers' offense had a brief jolt of life in the first period against Tim Thomas. Thomas had been sensational in his career in Philadelphia, going 8-0 with a 1.86 goals-against average and a .947 save percentage.
He left the game with a pulled groin. He appeared to get tangled with teammate Mike Weaver in front of the net and hit the ice. Thomas bolted straight for the locker room and never returned.
Jacob Markstrom took over and stopped all 25 shots.
"It's different to come in a game like that, but what can you do," he said. "You just have to get out there and try to help out the team as best as you can."
Thomas was pulled after the second period in Saturday's 7-0 loss to St. Louis. He allowed five goals on 28 shots.
Thomas allowed two quick goals in the first against the Flyers.
Schenn punched in a rebound for his second goal of the season. Thomas was out of position after he appeared to get hurt, allowing Coburn to score his first goal of the season.
"They're lucky goals, that happens," Berube said.
The Flyers scored two goals for the first time this season. With team captain Claude Giroux without a point this season, the Flyers were outscored 9-3. Just one goal in each game.
The punchless offense is one reason Laviolette was fired just three seasons after he led them to the Stanley Cup finals. The Flyers know they have to play better.
"It was a tough day yesterday," Giroux said. "I was with Lavy for a while, and to see him leave is a little sad. But it's the business part of it. We need to understand that."
The Flyers got a brief scare in the third when forward Scott Hartnell was slow to get up after defenseman Erik Gudbranson plowed him into the boards. Hartnell needed medical attention on the ice, but skated off on his own power. Gudbranson earned a game misconduct.
Notes: There was a brief scrum in the third that saw Flyers F Jay Rosehill get hit with 4 minutes for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct. ... Chicago Blackhawks VP of hockey operations Al MacIsaac presented Emery with his 2013 Stanley Cup champions ring. Emery went 17-1 for the Blackhawks last season.

Suppression of backreflection noise in a resonator integrated optic gyro by hybrid phase-modulation technology |
Applied Optics, Vol. 52, Issue 8, pp. 1668-1675 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (844 KB)
A method to suppress backreflection noise due to facet reflection in a resonator integrated optic gyro (RIOG) is demonstrated using hybrid phase-modulation technology (HPMT). First, calculations are carried out to evaluate the effect of the backreflection. Although its amplitude has been remarkably decreased by angle polishing, residual backreflection noise is still a severe factor in RIOGs. Next, a hybrid phase-modulation method to eliminate the backreflection noise is constructed, and the frequency spectra of the photodetector outputs before and after adopting HPMT are analyzed. Theoretical analysis shows that the backreflection noise spectra will split from each other as a result of the hybrid phase modulation. In association with the pectinate-filter characteristics of digital correlation detection, the backreflection noise can be suppressed. Finally, the RIOG experimental setup is established and compared with opposite-slope triangle phase-modulation technology. HPMT has the advantage of suppressing backreflection noise, with the RIOG bias stability greatly improved from 2.34 to

If Patrick Kaleta is going to straighten up his game, he'll be doing it in the AHL for now.
The troubled Buffalo Sabres forward cleared waivers and was sent to the team's minor league affiliate in Rochester.
Team GM Darcy Regier said before the Sabres' 6-3 loss to Anaheim on Saturday night they tried to trade Kaleta but found no takers for him. They're also worried they're under the NHL's thumb for what Kaleta has done over the past few seasons topped off by his 10-game suspension for elbowing Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson.
Kaleta will need to adjust his game in the AHL along the same lines how Minnesota Wild forward Matt Cooke adjusted his on the fly in Pittsburgh after numerous high-profile bad hits. If he can do that, there's likely a spot for him back in Buffalo. Kaleta has another year remaining on his contract with the team.
- lowenni - Nov 3, 2013 at 12:53 PM
If he can clean up his game he can turn into a decent player. He'll get more playing time in Rochester than he would in Buffalo, and maybe he can work on his defensive ability to become a penalty killer who gets under your skin, much like Matt Cooke (without the offense). There really isn't any place left in the game for one-dimensional players like him.
- crazemastercraze - Nov 3, 2013 at 1:11 PM
"There really isn't any place left in the game for one-dimensional players like him". I don't know, sound like a Flyers kind of player to me
- TestSubjekt - Nov 3, 2013 at 1:23 PM
I don't recall the Flyers having too many dirty players like him. Flyers love to fight, not cheap shot their opponents like Kaleta.
- ltcpain75 - Nov 3, 2013 at 9:07 PM
Oh, you mean like Emery, who had to fight the opposing goalie, who clearly did not want to fight.
- ralphwilsonisrich - Nov 3, 2013 at 9:32 PM
Ray Emery cheap another goalie
- rrsm53 - Nov 4, 2013 at 9:42 AM
really how long have you been watching the Flyers play for. They dont have cheap dirty players really. WOW! wake up.
- elmerbrownelmerbrown - Nov 3, 2013 at 1:27 PM
He was doomed from the day he grew that western pennsylvania style beard !
- icelovinbrotha215 - Nov 3, 2013 at 1:47 PM
Humility can go a long way if one is willing to embrace her. Kaleta has that opportunity now being in Rochester.
- lordfletcher - Nov 3, 2013 at 1:57 PM
humility and the difference in pay.
I can't imagine how much this has / will cost him. Whew.
- leninthebuff - Nov 4, 2013 at 7:58 AM
No difference in pay as he gets his NHL salary this year and next even if he is in Rochester. The 10 game suspension is all that he lost in money
- crazemastercraze - Nov 3, 2013 at 1:57 PM
Zac Rihnaldo is the living embodiment of gentlemanly gamesmanship. Come on, remove yourself from the Flyers bubble of delusion. "That many players"……haha
- hockeyflow33 - Nov 3, 2013 at 2:19 PM
If you thought $1.25 million went far in Buffalo wait until you get to Rochester
- billsin20xx - Nov 3, 2013 at 2:35 PM
Rochester is more expensive- but better too!
- billsin20xx - Nov 3, 2013 at 2:38 PM
Anybody at the game last night? The fans just don't care anymore. The did the "carubba collision' for the best hit of the night where the fans cheer for one of two hits, no one cheered for either hit!! And the fans cheered the loudest all night for the ducks last 2 goals.
How long will Pegula put up with this?FIRE DARCY!!
- leninthebuff - Nov 4, 2013 at 8:04 AM
Besides firing Darcy is it possible that he would fire himself? I guess it's his toy and his money but giving out these dumb contracts has got to stop. I don't blame Darcy for that because I don't think that is his mo, never has been. When Pegula stops being a fan and runs this team as a business this team will be successful.
- leninthebuff - Nov 4, 2013 at 8:05 AM
***I was referring to Pegula when I said about firing himself.
- randomcommentator - Nov 4, 2013 at 11:10 AM
Love people who shout fire Darcy like the angry mob. Ask yourself 3 questions and if you can do that, then maybe he should be fired:
1) What does firing Darcy accomplish?
2) Who is his replacement?
3) What do you do at the trade deadline?
- sabatimus - Nov 3, 2013 at 3:53 PM
I hope this is a lesson to him. Maybe he can actually learn some more skills in Rochester too.

Was That Xanadu or A Nomis Soccer Shoe Ad?
If you want to see a really, really weird ad about Nomis, logos, trophies, attention, sponsorship, endorsements and boots then you really need to watch this quirky video for Nomis boots (we call them sneakers here). The ad was created by Johannes Leonardo, a new agency founded by former Saatchi & Saatch EVPs Jan Jacobs and Leo Premutico.

In an award-winning performance (Best Actor, Venice Film Festival), Vincent Gallo (Buffalo '66) plays Mohammed, a Taliban fighter captured by the US military in Afghanistan after a violent desert attack goes awry. While being transported to a secret detention center in Europe, the vehicle crashes and he suddenly finds himself free. But his newfound freedom quickly disappears as he is relentlessly pursued in a snow-blanketed forest by an army that does not "officially" exist.
A critically acclaimed, thinking-man's action thriller from director Jerzy Skolimowski (The Shout), ESSENTIAL KILLING tells the story of one man's struggle for survival, where morality has no place as he confronts the necessity to kill in order to survive.

Lewis: Our men are now very much engaged in dressing Elk and Deer skins for mockersons and cloathing. the deer are extreemly scarce in this neighbourhood, some are to be found near the praries and open grounds along the coast.
this evening we heard seven guns in quick succession after each other, they appeared to be on the Creek to the some marrow bones and a little fresh meat would be exceptable; I have been living for two days past on poor dryed Elk, or jurk as the hunters term it. The Clatsops Chinnooks &c. bury their dead in their canoes. for this purpose four pieces of split timber are set erect on end, and sunk a few feet in the grown, each brace having their flat sides opposite to each other and sufficiently far assunder to admit the width of the canoes in which the dead are to be deposited; through each of these perpendicular posts, at the hight of six feet a mortice is cut, through which two bars of wood are incerted; on these cross bars a small canoe is placed in which the body is laid after being carefully roled in a robe of some dressed skins; a paddle is also deposited with them; a larger canoe is now reversed, overlaying and imbracing the small one, and resting with it's gunwals on the cross bars; one or more large mats of rushes or flags are then roled around the canoes and the whole securely lashed with a long cord, usually made of the bark of the Arbor vita or white cedar. on the cross bars which support the canoes is frequently hung or laid various articles of cloathing culinary eutensels &c. I cannot understand them sufficiently to make any enquiries relitive to their religious opinions, but presume from their depositing various articles with their dead, that they believe in a state of future existence. The persons who usually visit the entrance of this river for the purpose or traffic or hunting I believe are either English or Americans; the Indians inform us that they speak the same language with ourselves, and give us proofs of their varacity by repeating many words of English, as musquit, powder, shot, nife, file, damned rascal, sun of a bitch &c. whether these traders are from Nootka sound, from some other late establishment on this coast, or immediately from the U' States or Great Britain, I am at a loss to determine, nor can the Indians inform us.
the Indians whom I have asked in what direction the traders go when they depart from hence, or arrive here, always point to the S. W. from which it is presumeable that Nootka cannot be their destination; and as from Indian [In 1788 the British sea captain John Meares established a trading base on Nootka Sound, Vancouver Island. A few years later American traders were using Clayoquot Sound on the same island as a base. Neither of these was a permanent settlement. The conjecture about a Pacific island was also correct, for most of these traders were operating out of the Hawaiian Islands.]
This traffic on the part of the whites consists in vending, guns, (principally old british or American musquits) powder, balls and Shot, Copper and brass kettles, brass teakettles and coffee pots, blankets from two to three point, scarlet and blue Cloth (coarse), plates and strips of sheet copper and brass, large brass wire, knives, beads and tobacco
The natives are extravegantly fond of the most common cheap blue and white beads, of moderate size, or such that from 50 to 70 will weigh one penneyweight. the blue is usually pefered to the white; these beads constitute the
a fine morning wind from the N. E. last night about 10 oClock while Smokeing with the nativ's I was alarmed by a loud Srile voice from the Cabins on the opposite Side, the Indians all run immediately across to the village, my guide who Continued with me made Signs that Some one's throat was Cut,
by enquiry I found that one man mcNeal was absent, I imediately Sent off Sergt. N. Pryor & 4 men in quest of McNeal who' they met comeing across the Creak in great hast, and informed me that the people were alarmed on the opposit Side at Something but what he could not tell,
a man had verry friendly envited him to go and eate in his lodge, that the Indian had locked armes with him and went to a lodge in which a woman gave him Some blubber, that the man envited him to another lodge to get Something better, and the woman held him [mcNeal] by the blanket which he had around him. He not knowing her object freed himself & was going off, when this woman a Chinook and another ran out and hollow'd and his pretended friend disapeared—
I emediately ordered every man to hold themselves in a State of rediness and Sent Sergt. Pryor & 4 men to know the cause of the alarm which was found to be a premeditated plan of the pretended friend of McNeal to assanate for his Blanket and what fiew articles he had about him, which was found out by a Chin nook woman who allarmed the men of the village who were with me in time to prevent the horred act.
this man was of another band at Some distance and ran off as Soon as he was discovered. we have now to look back and Shudder at the dreadfull road on which we have to return of 45 miles S E of Point adams & 35 miles from Fort Clatsop.

Justice Souter on Government SpeechSheldon H. NahmodIllinois Institute of Technology - Chicago-Kent College of Law March 25, 2011 Brigham Young University Law Review, Vol. 2010, p. 2097, 2010 Abstract: Justice David Souter, who replaced Justice William Brennan, was seated on October 3, 1990, and retired on June 29, 2009. As it turns out, Justice Souter's tenure coincided exactly with the birth and development of the government speech doctrine in the Supreme Court. Rust v. Sullivan was handed down in 1991, and the most recent case, Pleasant Grove City v. Summum, was handed down in 2009. This Article is modest in scope and primarily descriptive. I propose to address each of the nine Supreme Court decisions in which government speech is discussed either by the Court or by Justice Souter, with an emphasis on Justice Souter's often differing and cautionary observations about the doctrine. I do not engage here at a normative level with the government speech doctrine, even though I am worried about the Court's increasing use of the doctrine to avoid difficult First Amendment issues.

Head of a Queen
The Egyptians associated the vulture with several important goddesses. This sculpture depicts a so-called vulture cap: the bird's oval body sits at the top of the wearer's head and its outspread wings sweep down beside the face. The vulture's tail is indicated in back, but its head has been replaced by a royal uraeus-cobra over the forehead. A queen would have worn such a head dress on top of a voluminous wig.
The head shows some of the Middle Kingdom influence that is so pronounced in early Eighteenth Dynasty art under Ahmose and Amunhotep I. Other details—such as the shapes of the eyes and eyebrows, for example—indicate that the head was carved later, to represent either the wife of King Thutmose III or his mother, Queen Isis.

Pivoting and diving amid the throng of unwashed journalists is usually reserved for the Sony party, but we got an early start this year thanks to the first (and currently, only) PlayStation 3 title to make use of its new controller's six-axis sensing ability (although only pitch, roll and yaw was available during this demo). What this means to the everyman gamer is the ability to mimic the style of your grandmother when she picks up a controller, and frowns while wrenching the joypad from side to side, trying to make her plane turn. The only difference this time around is that twisting the controller in the air actually works. And works extremely well.
I was initially very skeptical of how this feature (which looked hastily tacked on to a regular joypad without a rumble) would work, but after a lengthy playtest of WarHawk's 30 percent complete single demo stage, I can safely attest to the excellent maneuverable quality possible from the very first moment you pick up and play. The slight delay at the Sony press conference between Phil Harrison's pivoting, and the on-screen tilting of his rendered joypad meant I was expecting the same problems during my WarHawk piloting. Not so. This works flawlessly, and immediately, and allayed any fears I had that this was a last-minute gimmick designed to tear interest away from the Wii. No; this tilting joypad is a last-minute gimmick designed to tear interest away from the Wii that works.
Back to the dogfighting; after my gaming instincts to thumb the analog sticks was removed (there's no maneuvering like you're used to), I began to gently tilt the controller back, causing my plane to rise; then I thrust forward and sent the craft into a steep dive, straight towards some jagged rocks (fortunately, without jaggy textures - the game is among the most smoothly rendered I've ever seen), then twisted the pad 90 degrees left, and it veered away from the plummet, and out into a sparkling blue ocean.
With a quick flick of the L2 button, I was barrel-rolling (thankfully, there's no joypad acrobatics needed for that one) like the Red Baron, and once all of the three different pivoting techniques were combined, you essentially had the control of an aircraft you've always been expected. This was instantly intuitive, and the applications for future use (I'm thinking in FPS titles specifically) is mind-boggling. It took 15 seconds for me to change my jaded mind from slightly mocking to kool-aid drinking. I've experienced the way PS3 games control, and it's epoch-making. Well, if a certain company named Nintendo hadn't thought of it first.
WarHawk itself was in a very early state, and can best be described as Crimson Skies meets more Crimson Skies. The demo stage was a group of islands with super-deformed topography, interspersed with landing pads, and series of linked tunnel sections through the middle that really tested your tilting skills. You may have seen this stage before; it's almost exactly the same as the one in Crimson Skies. Flying about with limited AI were small scouting ships (which you could strafe with mini-gun fire or opt for a group of heat-seeking rockets), and larger motherships, which intermittently burped out missiles. Runs around and through these vessels were also well-handled, thanks to the control. In fact, what could have been a rather nondescript flight combat offering has turned into a fantastic and superbly controllable outing into the skies.
This was the demo in its entirety; the final game is promising on-foot scenarios with various land vehicles like tanks and jeeps making up the third way to play, hundreds of planes to attack in the skies (we only encountered six or so at close range), and a 32-player online dogfighting antics that promise you'll be pivoting and diving without being watched intently by the great unwashed at E3.

Somehow I thought the rug would be a little bigger. But it is beautifully made and the color is great. Love it
The rug I received appears to be an imitation of the rug in the photos. It is obviously the same pattern, but much of the detail and some of the colors are absent. My rug is also defective in two ways. First the backing is unraveling and coming off. Second, there is a beige stripe woven into the red border. This makes me question how it could be handmade. Who would take the time to weave the wrong color into a section of the rug? I'm extremely disappointed with this rug and I doubt I will order another from this site.

Alex Rodriguez has moved ahead of Ken Griffey Jr. into sole possession of fifth place with his 631st career homer.
Rodriguez connected on the first pitch of the fifth inning against Clay Buchholz, giving the New York Yankees a 5-1 lead over the Boston Red Sox on Friday. It was New York's fourth homer of the game off Buchholz.
Rodriguez's second homer of the season, over the left-field wall, left him 29 shy of Willie Mays' fourth-place total of 660.
The Yankees' homer barrage came one day after they hit four, three by Curtis Granderson and one by Mark Teixeira.

Jim Brady: A Bullet Couldn't Stop Him
Posted By Patrick Kiger On August 4, 2014 @ 5:14 pm In Legacy | No Comments
On March 30, 1981, then-White House press secretary Jim Brady asked one of his aides to accompany President Ronald Reagan for a speech at the Washington Hilton. At the last moment, however, Brady himself went with Reagan.
It was a choice that would forever alter the life of the witty, self-deprecating man whose burly build led to the nickname "Bear." On the way out of the hotel, Reagan was attacked by a mentally ill assassin, John Hinckley, who got off six shots with a .22 revolver. One bullet hit Reagan in the lower left lung, but he ultimately made a full recovery. Brady wasn't as fortunate. The bullet that entered his head shattered into more than two dozen fragments, several of which penetrated his brain. The neurosurgeon who operated on him didn't think he would make it.
>> Photos: Famous People We've Lost in 2014
Brady, who died on Aug. 4 at age 73, somehow managed to survive that catastrophic injury, which left him partially paralyzed and damaged the area of the brain that controls speech. With the help of his wife, Sarah, he became a powerful symbol in the gun control movement. Eight years after being shot, Brady rolled his wheelchair into the U.S. Capitol to testify in favor of legislation to require background checks and impose waiting periods on firearm purchasers, in an effort to thwart criminals and mentally ill people such as Hinckley. "I know that many members of Congress don't want to stand up for the Brady Bill because of all the aggravation they'd get from the gun lobby," Brady said. "Well, their aggravation is minimal compared to the aggravation I face every day, every minute of my life."
It took several years, but the legislation ultimately passed Congress and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1993.
Here are six things you might not know about Brady:

Transportation Secretary Conti announces campaign totals
North Carolina Transportation Secretary Gene Conti announced today that 10,288 drivers and passengers were cited for seat belt and child passenger safety violations during the "Click It or Ticket" campaign, which began May 21 and ended June 3.
"Buckling up is a simple action that could save your life," said Conti. "The stepped up patrols enable law enforcement officers to remind motorists that wearing your seat belt is not only the smart thing to do, it's the law."

Hawking, S. W. and King, A. R. and McCarthy, P. J. (1976) A new topology for curved space–time which incorporates the causal, differential, and conformal structures. Journal of Mathematical Physics, 17 (2). pp. 174-181. ISSN 0022-2488. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:HAWjmp76

A new topology is proposed for strongly causal space–times. Unlike the standard manifold topology (which merely characterizes continuity properties), the new topology determines the causal, differential, and conformal structures of space–time. The topology is more appealing, physical, and manageable than the topology previously proposed by Zeeman for Minkowski space. It thus seems that many calculations involving the above structures may be made purely topological.

Many patients have problems that can be helped greatly with a palliative care approach. Important factors to consider when a patient with palliative care needs is identified are:
GPs care for many patients with life-limiting illnesses such as advanced heart or respiratory disease, end-stage renal failure or liver disease, progressive dementia, cancer, or degenerative neurological conditions. Palliative care focuses on quality of life in all life-limiting illnesses where cure is no longer possible.
Palliative care is not limited to any particular diagnosis or expected prognosis. It is as important for patients who have end-stage organ failure, or frailty and dementia, as it is for those with cancer.
Think about palliative care any time that the goals of care change. Points of transition include:
These transitions can be hard to identify in non-malignant diseases. For patients with end-stage organ failure and increasing frailty and dependence, the need for acute hospital admissions may be a signal to reassess the goals of treatment and tailor the treatment approach accordingly.

Susanto, Angie Sulistia and Tahana, Melicia Tengguna (2008) How to maximize the strength of the Chinese, Japanese, and work section of restaurant lotus-sakura based on the customer profile and customer's preference. Bachelor thesis, Petra Christian University.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This research is about How to maximize the strength of Chinese, Japanese, and WOK section in Restaurant Lotus Sakura. Restaurant Lotus Sakura has three different section, which are Chinese fine dining section, Japanese Teppan-Yaki section, and WOK buffet section. Each section has different characteristics which attract different kind of customer also. So the first part of this section is to find out who the customer of each section is. The writers use market segmentation theory to formulate customer profile of each section. The next step is to look for customers preferences of each section and the reason why they choose certain section. Buying decision behavior theory is being applied in this part of the research and as measurement the writers use previous research by Yuksel (2002) about 9 variables that affect the customers in selecting a restaurant. The research tool which is the questionnaire has been conducted among the customers of each section. After analyzing the result and coming through on some field observation, the writers get the deep insight of the customer profile and their preferences of each section. Thus will lead to formulating the strengths of each section, maximizing those strengths and making improvement of the restaurant.

Competition Policy during the Economic Crisis – legal issues
The paper addresses the issue of legal issues of competition policy during the economic crisis. During the economic crisis public authorities are forced to redefine the aims of public policies and harmonize them. The paper aims at identifying spheres, where competition policy is limited by other public policies. First, the problem of crisis cartels and their admissibility under competition law is discussed. It is followed by the presentation of the exemptions to the general prohibition of anticompetitive mergers. Last but not least, the temporary framework for state aid in the UE is presented. It has been argued that during the economic crisis public authorities use peculiar legal instruments of competition policy to address problems arising from the crisis. Whenever it is possible reference to the case law is made in order to present the application of presented problems in practice.
