The Nepal earthquake badly damaged the Kaiser Library, an opulent palace in the heart of Kathmandu home to rare books, maps and ancient manuscripts, raising concerns over the future of these valuable cultural artefacts.
Karen du Toit's insight:
"The African Journal Archive (AJA) is a Sabinet Gateway project in conjunction with the Carnegie Corporation that is making African research accessible to the whole world. The archive preserves journal literature emanating from publishers and societies in Africa and includes searchable collections of journal articles that have been digitised back to the earliest possible issues. This archive is indeed a valuable resource for local and international libraries.
The archive is now available on an easy-to-use website which enables easy discoverability of articles and also enhances the research experience of end users."

An opportunity for free access to African research information
"As librarians we protect our services, collections, and patrons from censorship and bias. Simply put- We do not allow it. From too much left or right wing material to too much sci-fi or mystery. At our core we begin from a place of balance, equality, representation, and non-censorship. This is one of librarianship's inherent characteristics that draw people to join the profession.
Interestingly I found this today:
Wikipedia Countering Systemic Bias Project
The Wikipedia project suffers systemic bias that naturally grows from its contributors' demographic groups, manifesting an imbalanced coverage of a subject, thereby discriminating against the less represented demographic groups. …

"This conference may be of interest to small organizations who are interested in digital preservation but have limited resources.
Personal Digital Archiving 2015, hosted by New York University's Moving Image Archive Program, is April 24-26
"Many of us now document our lives digitally. As these collections grow, so do the challenges involved in their management, preservation and use. Creators must actively manage their files, and collecting institutions must adapt their processes to accommodate personal digital materials.
This conference focuses on many topics relevant to personal digital archiving. It will provide information useful for libraries, archives and museums, as well as individuals, community groups, activist groups and others interested in personal digital collections.
PDA 2015 will feature two full days of presentations focused on a set of themes and a third day for workshops covering useful tools and methods."

Become an expert in the best mobile apps for education and content creation
Mobile apps are empowering for people of all ages and abilities
As librarians and educators, we are passionate about learning and access to information for all. Contrary to the popular idea that apps are only useful for "consumption," the best mobile apps are being used effectively as tools to enable learning and knowledge creation.
Got iPads, but no time to discover the best apps?
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the number of apps available and not sure where to start with finding the best ones, you're not alone!
Many librarians have told me that they feelexcited about having new iPads, but not sure of the best apps to recommend and use.overwhelmed by the sheer number of apps available.unsure where to start with finding and evaluating the best educational apps.worried about the digital divide and the loss of access to information for all.
You might have new iPads in your library or school, but what are the best learning experiences you can create with them? You know that just throwing technology at a problem is NOT the way to go.
When you become "app-literate," you serve your community by becoming their go-to expert on mobile apps.

Fixity Version 0.5, the free and open source fixity tool developed by AVPreserve, has been officially released for download
Chris Lacinak
Fixity creates a manifest of files stored in directories identified by the user, documenting file names, locations, and checksums. The user can then schedule regular automated scans of the directories to monitor for any changes to files. Fixity is ideal for monitoring of files in long term storage, complimenting tools such as Bagger and the BagIt specification that can be used to check fixity at points of transition.
Major recent updates include:
• Created OSX version (64-bit systems only)
• Added support for MD5 in addition to the SHA256 checksum algorithm
• Added ability to change checksum algorithm for a project
• Added ability to import projects between versions of Fixity
• Added ability to update the location of a scanned directory
• Implemented SQLite database for storing projects
• Improved reporting
• Updated logic for reporting on copied and moved files
• Improved handling of special characters in file paths
• Added history directory to store snapshots of the manifest over time
• Create tasks as Administrator on Windows, allowing projects to run when logged off.
• Code, stability and interface improvements

"Despite the vast and growing resources available online, much of the world's knowledge and history remains ephemeral and under threat of disappearance."
"Since 2004, the British Library's Endangered Archives Programme, supported by the Arcadia Fund, has funded nearly 246 projects in 78 countries to preserve and digitize archives at risk of extinction."
"...the British Library announced in a press release the release of From Dust to Digital: Ten Years of the Endangered Archives Programme. The publication, free to read online, chronicles 19 of the major preservation projects, including monastic manuscripts in Ethiopia, ecclesiastical archives on the history of slavery in Colombia and Brazil, and the sound archives of Radio Télévision Guinée and Iranian Golha radio."
Karen du Toit's insight:
In a time where libraries and archives are burnt, this helps!
It is exciting to feel energy build around a library and cultural arts center in downtown Columbus. The Columbus City Council has had their support galvanized by grant money coming
"So when you think of a library in 100, 300, or 500 years, imagine a beautiful building with spaces for discussion, contemplation and creation where wisdom can be shared. Imagine skilled librarians making sure that everyone has access to organized, meaningful resources that raise the level of public discussion above the din of the internet. Imagine all that topped off with a collection of the best hardbacks available."

American Archive of Public Broadcasting - Local Radio and Television Records from Public Media Stations Across the Country Made Available to the Public
"The American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB), a collaboration between the Library of Congress, WGBH Boston and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, launched a new website at americanarchive.org today, providing the public with access to a collection of American public radio and television content dating back to the 1950s. These audio and video materials, created by more than 120 public broadcasting organizations across the country, have now been digitized and preserved, and will be a resource for scholars, researchers, educators, filmmakers and the general public to delve into the rich history of public broadcasting across America.
The website will initially provide access to 2.5 million inventory records created during the American Archive Content Inventory Project. The records will provide information about which public media video and audio materials have been digitized and preserved in the AAPB, indicate which video and audio files are available for research on location at WGBH and the Library of Congress, and highlight the participating stations. Contributing stations' histories, information about significant productions and resources for participating organizations will be available online.
The collection includes interviews and performances by local and national luminaries from a broad variety of professions and cultural genres. Just a few examples of the items in the collection include: Iowa Public Television's interview with Olympic runner Jesse Owens, recorded in 1979, the last year of his life; KUSC's (Los Angeles) broadcast of commentary by George Lucas on the original three Star Wars movies; Twin Cities Public Television's recording of a 1960 interview with presidential candidates John F. Kennedy and Minnesota Sen. Hubert Humphrey; and WGBH's 1967 interviews with then-California Gov. Ronald Reagan."

Face mapping is exactly what it sounds like – you divide your face into different areas and that should give you an idea of what your body is trying to tell you. (Each zone on the face represents something different as it pertains to the body.) This is not an exact science but might give you some insight into your acne. Read on for what each zone means.
- The Forehead – outbreaks here are usually as a result of the build-up of toxins as a result of poor digestion and dehydration. Try boosting your intake of water and fiber. You need between 8 and 10 glasses of water a day to keep healthy. Cut out fizzy sodas and caffeinated beverages – they are diuretics. Using proactiv can also help you control your acne outbreaks.
- The Nose – This zone is thought to be linked with your heart. If the nose looks swollen, it is thought to be indicative of high blood pressure so steer clear of the salt and energy drinks.
- Between the Eyes – If this area is red or flaky, it's an indication of liver problems. Keep your liver healthy by eating a healthy diet, avoiding fatty, rich foods and by not eating very later at night. Try to have your evening meal by eight o'clock at the latest. Be sure to cut down on toxins such as those found in drugs or alcohol.
- Upper Cheek – this is thought to represent the lungs. Breakouts and broken capillaries here can indicate a polluted environment, smoking but can also be hereditary.
- Lower Cheek – This may indicate bad dental hygiene. Get checked out for mouth infections and be sure to look after your teeth and gums properly.
- Ears – Acne in the ear can be especially painful as these are under the skin and so exert a great deal of pressure on the nerves. Your ears represent your kidneys so considering doing a detoxification. Also make sure to get in enough water and cut down your salt content.
- Side of the Chin – Acne here usually means that there is a hormonal imbalance. Many women find that this area breaks out on the few days leading up to your period.
- The Chin – this represents your small intestines and acne here usually means that you are battling with food allergies or are not eating properly. Consider keeping a food diary to help you nail down any potential food allergies. Consider a course of pro-biotics to boost the health of your intestinal flora.

How It Works
MMS reliably orchestrates the tasks you currently perform manually — provisioning a new cluster, upgrades, restoring your system to a point in time, and many other operational tasks.
You can use our self-service portal directly, or invoke our Monitoring and Backups API. MMS takes care of the low-level details for popular tasks without taking your database offline.
Industrial Strength. Multiple copies of every backup are archived across our fault-tolerant, geographically distributed data centers. We've engineered the system to rigorous standards that satisfy the demands of hundreds of organizations today.
Continuous, Incremental Backups. MMS backups are maintained continuously, just a few seconds behind your operational system. If your system goes down, the most recent backup is only moments behind, minimizing your exposure to data loss.
Point-In-Time Recovery. MMS is the only MongoDB backup solution that offers point-in-time recovery of replica sets and cluster-wide snapshots of sharded clusters. You can restore to precisely the moment you need, quickly and safely.
Visibility Into Your Cluster. Gain valuable insight into the performance on your MongoDB cluster, with dozens of charts tracking key performance indicators that will help you deliver a great experience to your users.
Custom, Metric-Based Alerting. Be the first to know when there is a performance issue. MMS allows you set custom alerts when key metrics are out of range, such as memory and CPU utilization.
Comprehensive API. Integrate MMS with your favorite monitoring tools using our RESTful API. Make the deep insights from MMS part of the full picture of your operations.
Enhanced Support. With the optional Production Support, our support engineers use MMS to quickly see what happened and how it compares to the normal operations of your system. You get to resolution faster and with less effort.
"Everyone should be using MMS. It's easy to set up and run and gives really good insight into running your MongoDB implementation."
Nathen Harvey
Web Operations Manager' CustomInk
"Having a backup service engineered for MongoDB has a lot of advantages. MMS backup gives us smooth integration with MMS monitoring' as well as excellent granularity of restorable snapshots with little overhead."

Sometimes using a creative approach to pet adoptions makes all the difference in the world. In a recent life-changing trip, 36 lucky dogs and puppies from an ASPCA partner community agency, the Asheville Humane Society, received new chances to find loving forever homes. These sweet pups were transported by plane from North Carolina to Florida in an "Airlift of Love," during the annual Pilots n Paws event.
Over the course of the event, 300 dogs were flown to parts of the country where there are plenty of willing adopters waiting to open their homes to shelter pets. This impressive event could be considered the largest canine rescue in American history!
Check out the video to follow these sweet dogs, including one special pup named Betty, on their exciting journey toward adoption.
This is great but why are there no pit bulls??! Has everyone just given up on that great breed? That is very sad
What a wonderful gift to give these lovely dogs. I was bawling through the entire video... wish I could take them all myself! God bless the volunteers and those who made this possible.
thanks so much for all the wonderful people that made this possible. It was wonderful and heartwarming to read this. Wish I could have helped and been there!!
Would like to have seen the outcome for Betty. She touched my heart just watching this short video.
Tons of thanks to the exceptional people, pilots and fosters who made this possible for these precious babies...they deserve a chance at a life with a family who will love them and give them a real home for the rest of their lives. This video was extremely moving and I cried the whole time! God bless you all who made this possible!
Like many others, I cried through this entire video! Whatever happened to Betty??? WE NEED AN UPDATE, PLEASE!!!
I enjoyed the video. Please let us know what happened to these great dogs? Many people want to know. Who could forget Betty's loving, trusting eyes?! I won't.
Thank you for all you do! ems 10-12-12
Great video. Buen viaje y buen suerte!!
The volunteers who made this happen, especially all of those pilots giving their expertise, time and planes, are HEROES!!!!
I hope Betty and all of the other beautiful souls found a happy home - they so deserve it! Would love to hear their happy endings!
What a wonderful program. The Asheville Humane Society is so wonderful and so are all the pilots and people involved in this act of love and kindness! Thank you to all of you sweet and kind souls!

Leather will be making a comeback if Dave Loop has his way.
Loopy's Leather, owned by Dave and Jenn Loop, is a home-based business, specializing in personalizing and customizing leather, from belts to guitar straps to jewelry.
"It's endless what you can do with it," Dave said.
The Loops focus on products that are 100-percent genuine, using real leather and real buckskin for lining, and customizable down to the designs, colors and fine details.
"My goal is to take whatever the customer's idea is and turn it into a reality by giving them a product that they've designed that will last forever," he said.
The quality of the leather used for the Loop's products is what Dave refers to as, "the real deal — fresh off the cow." The smell alone reminds him of growing up in Adirondack, N.Y.
"My father, Larry Loop, owned a leather shop in Tupper Lake, N.Y.," said Dave, recalling the days where he spent time in both the shop and the basement of his family's home assisting his father with his orders and learning the trade. "He taught me at a young age how to tool leather goods and to be very detail-oriented. Every product I made, I made as if it were my own."
One of the very first products Dave began making were leather bracelets featuring what is known as the mystery braid, where the bracelets are twisted in a manner to create a braid without any open ends. The bracelets success was based off a dating tradition, where couples would trade them with their significant other to signify a relationship as official.
"I would sell the bracelets to my friends and classmates at school," Dave said. "They were a huge hit. I even got enough money to buy my first bicycle."
It was a trip home that inspired Dave to take up the leather business again, which his father had to sell, in order to save a restaurant that he also owned.
"Prior to going home to visit family I saw a woman at a local flea market who was selling her leather products," Dave said. "I hadn't thought about the leather business in years. I didn't think about it again until my father brought it up one night during the visit when he suggested I get back into it."
The conversations had Dave thinking about re-inventing the leather shop as his own and bringing back a craft that he considered long forgotten.
"Since opening Loopy's Leather, I've posted several photos on the Facebook page," he said. "I was flooded with emails from old friends from N.Y. and people who had purchased my dad's products in the past saying they had completely forgotten about the leather business and were glad to see it making a comeback."
After receiving support from his wife, Jenn, co-owner of business, and weekends off thanks to a career switch working as a kitchen designer for Kitchen and Lighting Designs, Dave began ordering the equipment needed to open Loopy's Leather in May.
"This time last year, I had none of the equipment I needed to tool leather," said Dave, who is still hoping to add to his tool inventory by purchasing more stamps and a stitching machine allowing him to make gun slings.
Equipped with multiple stamps featuring different lettering, numbering, trimming designs, animals, and more, the Loops can create monogram and personalize any of the multiple products they offer. The Loops are also able to dye the leather in any color requested, from traditional browns and blacks to blue or pink.
Currently the Loops are making customizable belts, wrist bands, bracelets, necklaces, key chains, slings, guitar straps, dog collars and barrettes, but they also take requests or suggestions for other products.
"If someone has an idea for a product that we don't have listed, but knows exactly what they want, I'm willing to make it," said Dave, who works out the details with customers who may have new ideas. After being quoted a price for the work, the Loops ask that all orders be paid in full up front, due to the custom nature of the item.
While the Loops currently only accept customized orders via his website, email or by phone, they plan on spending the fall and the winter increasing their inventory.
"By springtime of 2013 we plan on hitting up the flea markets and farmer's markets locally," said Dave. "While we're increasing our inventory in order to do on-the-spot customization at the markets, I'll still be filling orders."
Don Yonkings, who works with Dave at Kitchen and Lighting Designs, is a fan of the Loops' belts.
"I had been looking for a quality leather belt," said Yonkings, noting the belts he purchased in stores were getting ruined by his cell phone clip. "You can tell that Dave's belts are real, good quality leather, similar to something that you find in a men's dress store, but at an affordable cost."
Dave compares the leather material used in store-bought belts to bad carpet fibers sometimes stretched thinly over a cardboard-type piece underneath.
"I'm a genuine person and I like genuine products. Our leather is 100-percent genuine leather," he said. "Real leather is forever."
Yonkings went on to purchase several other belts, some plain and others embellished with military symbols and says he was impressed by how quickly he received his products after ordering them.
"They do really awesome work," Yonkings said. "Dave's turn around rate is incredibly fast. I got the belts I ordered within two days of ordering them."
When Dave isn't busy working at his first job or customizing leather, he plays drums in the hard rock and classic metal cover band Hand of Madness.
"The band is my hobby, but I'm a leather guy by trade," Loop said. "I just like doing this, it's a therapy for me; I'd love to get even busier doing it.
"Generations have forgotten about real leather and its time it made a comeback."
To place an order with Loopy's Leather, visit them online at loopysleather.com or facebook.com/LoopysLeather. For questions or to place orders over the phone call Dave at 910-467-7890 or Jenn at 910-467-6789.

La Sportiva Men's Wildcat Shoe

The Wildcat uses a single density midsole to provide plenty of cush as you hit mile after mile of trail. The shoe is a stable and neutral runner with grip for uneven dirt. The medium-wide fit leaves plenty of space for your foot while the honeycomb mesh lining in the heel and tongue keep your feet dry as you sweat. An AirMesh upper with trail cage allows additional breathability and a barrier against rocks and debris from tearing up the outsides.

Really. For hot summer thy are the best. Great ventilation and very strong mesh against damages. Also in case of filling the water in - this shoes will get dry very fast, unlike the others with Gore-Tex. I use them for trail running, orienting and rogaining. My experience was rogaining for 12 hours that included 8 hours of walking and 4 hour of running. And it was OK with my legs. I wold like to have the second pair of this shoes.
I have done things with this shoe that I could never have dreamed I'd do. I'm a diabetic and everyone knows how terrible diabetic feet can be......yeah well with the Wildcat my feet are like "Hell yeah lets go farther!" So I do. I wear these everyday. I trail run, backpack, play soccer, softball, frisbee golf, and everything else in these. Heck the only thing I've not done in these is make sweet love....Challenge accepted! The toe support has saved my toes probably literally millions of times. The insole is amazing this is the first trail runner I have not had to swap out the insole for my superfeet insole. The traction is amazing, I have more grip than any all terrain tire could offer any 4x4 on the market! I was loling at my buddy just yesterday as he was slipping up a muddy hill in his Jesus Sandals aka Chaco's as I passed him without one slip of the foot! Heel support? Yeah it's there no complaints from this guy. Do they breath? Yeah probably better than you do!
I've put a lot of miles on my wildcats and have nothing but good things to say about them. I mostly use the for backpacking, but I've used them for trail running ultimate frisbee, disc golf and much much more. In each situation they excel. They're lightweight. They breath well. The support is excellent. I liked them so much I bought a second pair which are sitting in the closet waiting for my first pair to finally wear out!
The wildcat is as named, one bad mother! This shoe is by far the most comfortable trail shoe I've ever owned. The tread pattern also grabs the trails in almost any condition (except ice, but then just add screws or spikes to the shoes). I did have concerns about the soft upper, but my feet have been protected thanks to the toe guard. I have ran with this shoe for two years with two pair(one is an older model), which are both still in decent condition despite the abuse from rocks, roots and other trail hazards.
Hikes:-3 different moderately strenuous 10 mile hikes climbing 1000-2000 feet in elevation.Sizing:-I'm usually 10.5 neutral arch and neutral stride. I had to size up to 11 because my feet are slightly wider. 44.5 fit nice and perfectly snug. I had about half inch of room in front of my toes so they didn't bang the front when I was stomping down hill. No heel lift and no blisters.Pros:-Lightweight-Super breathable-Great traction-Stiff sole provide excellent stability and supportCons:-No durability issues yet
Very happy with this shoe, although had to return it for a larger size. It's cut a bit narrow, but has a good size toe box that is great. I'm a 10.5 and had to go to a 44.5 in this shoe.I'ts vedry stable on the trail and good support all around. It's very light and breaths well. Good looking too!!!
After my sweet 3 month old black lab decided to make a snack out of my old trail runners, I was in the market for some puppy approved shoes. Hiking fourteeners, being a bad a**, and backpacking in tennis shoes is just not cool or comfortable. So now that my black lab is a 11 month old young man (and his shoe chewing is in the past... I think). I invested in these bad boys. Super light and comfortable. Perfect for day hiking and backpacking (if you have good ankles). And the precious black lab angel won't dare stick a canine on it. Pretty much what I am saying is that these bad boys are perfect for anyone and anything. I would highly recommend.
I really dig these shoes for runs both on and off trail but more so when i'm not on pavement. This is the second pair of Sportiva runners I have had and I came back for a reason. I really like the support I feel like I had laterally on the trail. The cushioning is just right for my liking and the distances I put in. As for the GTX liner I sometimes wonder why I go for shoes with a waterproof liner since when its raining water is certainly going to get into the shoe over the top. However, when the rain stops, I found the puddles are no match and my feet stay dry. As for the sizing I feel they are true to size, especially if you know and use the euro sizes.
These are my favorite running shoes. They absorb much more shock them my Brooks ASR7 Adrenalines. There is a flap on the tongue to stuff the lace ends down so they wont come undone or catch on debris. They breath well and the upper is frictionless for blister free running. No break in period needed for the Wildcat. Ran 21 miles the other day and no hot spots at all. Thanks La sportiva.
This is a good looking, comfortable shoe. It handled pretty well for trail running and day hiking. However, eventually due to rubbing and abrasions when on the trail, the mesh near the little toe will break. At this point tries to slide out through the new opening and the shoe is no longer useable. I didn't track the mileage on the shoe up to this point, so while I had the shoe for a year and did many many hikes, I expected it to last a bit longer. I would not expect this kind of failure with a shoe that used more standard materials.
These shoes are great. They are my main pair of shoes for everyday use and they are wonderful. I do a lot of running around and they have a lot of support and comfort. I've also used them on light trials for easy hiking. Love the shoes and would suggest them to anyone. Cheers!

Scriptom (scriptom-2.0.zip) combines the elegant "syntactical sugar" of Groovy with the power of the Jacob library (Java COM Bridge). The result is something that looks an awful lot like Windows Scripting Host (WSH) scripting - only it's for Java. Once installed into Groovy, Scriptom allows you to script ActiveX or COM Windows components from Groovy.
What this means is that you can use Groovy to automate Word or Excel documents, control Internet Explorer, make your PC talk using the Microsoft Speech API, monitor processes with WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation), or browse the Windows Registry using WShell (among many, many other things). It is also a convenient way to talk to custom VB6 or COM-enabled Microsoft.NET libraries. All without ever leaving the comforts of Java.
Of course, Scriptom can be used only on Microsoft Windows.
We recommend that you use Scriptom 2.0 rather than Scriptom 1.2. The current version of Scriptom is currently considered beta software. The codebase is considered stable and feature-complete, and we are primarily just finishing up documentation and adding examples at this point. The Jacob project, which provides the engine that drives Scriptom, was started in 1999 and is being used in thousands of production applications worldwide. Jacob is already a mature, stable library. The Scriptom project is only a couple of years old, but has matured rapidly. The goal of Scriptom is to provide a library for Groovy that lets you access the full featureset of Jacob - without requiring you to know a bunch of unnecessary details about ActiveX/COM.
The Scriptom team
- Guillaume Laforge
- Dierk Koenig
- Marc Guillemot
- Jason Smith
Scriptom 2.0 requires Groovy 1.1 and Jacob 1.14. Because of dependencies on Jacob 1.14, Scriptom also requires Java 1.5 or higher.
Download the project archive(s) and extract the files.
- scriptom-2.0.zip Build 1 (11/1/2007) - Scriptom JAR file, jacob.dll, Java source code, ANT build script, examples, tests, and utilities.
- scriptom-2.0-javadoc.zip - JavaDoc for Scriptom and included type-library information.
Install the jar file and DLL file into your project, and optionally install an update from Microsoft:
- Add the Scriptom jar file (scriptom-2.0bX.jar) into your Java classpath. It contains both Scriptom and Jacob class files, so you don't need to include jacob.jar.
- Copy jacob.dll to somewhere on your java.library.path. (usually somewhere on the system 'PATH').
- Download and install the following update from Microsoft: Visual C redistributable installer SP1 . The Jacob documentation says this is only necessary for Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000, but we've found that it may also be necessary for Windows XP.
Building from Source
The project archive contains all the Scriptom source files and an ANT build script. However, to save space, jacob.jar and the Groovy JAR files have been omitted from the archive. The ANT script jarjars jacob.jar into scriptom-2.0bX.jar as part of the build. JAR files must be added to the project/lib folder.
The latest build requires Groovy 1.1.
The jacob.jar file is part of the Jacob library (Java COM Bridge). Scriptom requires Jacob version 1.14 or later.
To build the project, run project/build/make.bat.
The build process requires Java 1.5 or higher (Java 1.6 recommended) and ANT 1.6.5 or better.
Changes from Scriptom 1.x
Scriptom 2.0 is a substantial upgrade to previous versions of Scriptom, and is not backward compatible. We hope you will agree that it is worth a little code rework to get all these great new features!
- Provides simplified helper methods for dealing with COM apartment threading models.
- ActiveXProxy name changed to ActiveXObject to match WSH convention.
- VariantProxy no longer exists (the functionality was refactored into ActiveXObject).
- Variant values are converted to and from the equivalent Java type; no more calling .value on everything!
- Supports COM event callbacks using closures.
- Supports indexed properties, including multiple indexes.
- Supports typed, multi-dimensional SafeArrays.
- Supports pass-byref (in/out) values, both in method calls and event handler callbacks.
- Supports COM enumerable types (so you can use .each, for example).
- Supports missing arguments (for optional parameters) in method/property calls and events.
- Includes constant definitions for several popular Windows applications, derived from these type libraries (see JavaDoc):
- Microsoft Office 2003
- Word 2003
- Excel 2003
- Outlook 2003
- Microsoft Scripting (i.e., FileSystemObject)
- Microsoft Speech API
- Windows Scripting Host (WSH)
- WbemScripting (WMI - Windows Management Instrumentation)
- Microsoft Office 2003
- Supports the latest features from Jacob 1.14, including new support for the Decimal data type and 64-bit integers.
Migrating from Previous Versions of Scriptom
Scriptom 2.0 alpha is not backward compatible with previous versions of Scriptom. To get your scripts running again, do this:
- Change all references to ActiveXProxy into ActiveXObject.
- Wrap any code that references an ActiveXObject in Scriptom.withMTA { ... }, which replaces the way Scriptom previously handled COM threading.
- Remove all references to .value property references.
- Remove any statically typed references to VariantProxy.
- Support for COM events is greatly improved in this version - and also greatly changed. Refer to the Events section below for more information.
- Verify that your project is using the correct version of jacob.dll.
Quick Start
Let's say you want an application that talks. Pure Java implementations aside (this is, after all, a Groovy/COM tutorial), and ignoring the fact that the default voice on pre-Vista machines sounds like Dr. Zoidberg with a sinus infection, you could use the Microsoft Speech API (SAPI) to get the job done.
You start by creating an ActiveXObject with the prog-id for SpVoice. Now you can call any of the methods it supports. By default, SpVoice will block until it is done speaking, but we're going to have it speak asynchronously and wait until it is done.
If you have scripted COM before, you are probably used to using "magic numbers" throughout your code in place of COM constants. In this code sample, we're using fully-qualified constants instead.
Scriptom includes fully JavaDoc'd constant and interface definitions from a number of commonly used type-libraries, and you can even create your own. The source code for generating COM type library definitions for Groovy is written in Groovy , and it's included in the project. It may not seem like a big deal to replace a couple of numbers, but it will be a lot easier in 10 years to find relevant information on SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFlagsAsync than on the number 1 (Google returns a little more than 9 billion hits for the number '1', and about 1,000 for 'SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFlagsAsync,' including hits on this paragraph). And besides, the code reads better.
Speaking of interfaces, it turns out that SpVoice supports several. You can test an ActiveXObject to see if it supports a given interface using .supportsInterface, and you can cast an ActiveXObject to a given interface using .toInterface.
This next example displays the COM interfaces that SpVoice supports (within the SAPI library only):
Programmer's Guide
|how not to crash the JVM or lock your process
|supported types and conversions in Java, VB6, and VB.NET
|calling COM methods and properties from Groovy
Here is a simple example that uses the Microsoft ScriptControl to evaluate a JScript expression. This is a very indirect way to add 2 and 2.
There are many, many potential uses for Scriptom - far to many to try to maintain as part of this documentation. So we've included a whole slew of meaty examples in the project archive for you to play with. We'd like to encourage you to go look at those examples, run them, and modify them. And if you come up with an especially interesting example, let us know about it. We may even include it in a future release!
- Can't pass SafeArrays byref. Causes JVM crash. May need a Jira.
- Limitations of Jacob need to be explored and discussed.

I found this very thought-provoking. I think it can be applied far beyond practices like duels and "honor killings." What this speaks to, for me, is the fact that most crimes are *justified* in the minds of the criminals, especially when you're talking about institutionalized crime. You can't stop systemic atrocities without first breaking down the faulty reasoning that fuels their existence.

What are some other practices, besides honor killing, that we can work to remove from our society?

Krista's conversation with Kwame Anthony Appiah is one of my favorites from your program. Living in the Middle East, honor killings are something I've been learning more about. Phrases are used like "blackening our faces" for being dishonored, and "whitening our faces" for restoring that honor. As a Westerner, it's an extremely difficult concept to understand; how the killing of a daughter can restore honor. I'm interested in learning more about Appiah's thoughts and approach to change in this area. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

I don't think of honor being external. How does honor involve someone other than yourself? Isn't honor something that one maintains within? Honor can only be diminished if you allow it to be. It's up to the individual to decide. This whole situation could be resolved by not allowing others to determine your honor, it seems to me. Caring more for what others think than what you think is at the root of the issue.

For us in Western cultures, it is up to the individual to decide. In the Middle East, however, there is a group based honor. As far as I can gather, an individual can dishonor the group and the reputation of the group. In the case of honor killings, by killing the one who acted dishonorably, you are saying, "We, as a group, disapprove of their action", and thereby restoring honor to the group.

This idea is compelling, but I found it infuriating that every example of people foolishly and violently throwing around honor involved brown people. If we are going to have a discussion about honor, we should be comprehensive enough to include examples from all over the globe - Including the United states, including European nations, including predominantly Christian cultures. Take, for example, the case of Brandy Martell, a transgendered women murdered days ago in Oakland, CA after an altercation with a man who became enraged upon learning she was trans. This likely had everything to do with a perceived restoration of the honor of this man's masculinity and sexuality.

Target Center, Minneapolis, MN
Twenty-one concerts may seem like a lot, but time tends to fly in Heartbreaker land.
That's right where we stood Saturday night at a standing-room-only crowd at the Target Center in Minneapolis where Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers wrapped up their 2013 Summer Tour, one final performance before heading back to California for down time before returning to the studio to complete work on an as-yet unnamed album to be released next year.
As the last notes of The Smithereens' opening set rang out across the Target Center, Tom and the guys gathered in a backstage hallway, laughing with friends and thanking crew members for their hard work as they headed to the stage to prep for the band's set.
Though the setlist closely mirrored the previous night in Milwaukee, Tom and the guys seemed to play with their hair on fire for the last show in Minneapolis, as if they aimed to leave everything on the stage before the tour came to a close. Everyone onstage played with incredible energy and appreciation for the crowd cheering in the first few rows, who held up signs and called the band members' names in between songs.
"Tonight is the last night of our U.S. tour," Tom said to the crowd before "American Girl." "Thank you so much, Minneapolis! We'll see you again soon!"
Set List:
Rock & Roll Star
Love Is A Long Road
I Won't Back Down
Baby Please Don't Go
Here Comes My Girl
Mary Jane's Last Dance
Free Fallin'
Woman In Love
Cabin Down Below
Tweeter & the Monkey Man
It's Good To Be King
Learning to Fly

Guest blog post by Ashley Chengerian, ASPCA staffer and Gray Wolf advocate.
I've loved wolves my whole life. Perhaps it was watching all those TV movie marathons of Dances with Wolves with my dad. Maybe it was reading about them at an early age in Scholastic-ordered books. Whatever the case, they mean something to me. So when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed to remove Gray Wolves from its list of Threatened and Endangered Species, I had to speak out.
I knew that other departments within the ASPCA are working to protect wolves, but what's a citizen advocate to do?
First, I did a basic search for online petitions and opportunities to submit official public comments. Most online petitions can save your basic information if you want, which makes signing on behalf of a cause take about two clicks of a button. For this issue, though, I still wanted to do more. I discovered there were several public hearings throughout the country on the potential delisting—so earlier this week, I hopped a bus from New York City to D.C., site of the nearest hearing.
At the hearing at the Department of the Interior, I testified publicly for the first time in my life. What a rush! I immediately felt a sense of pride in our democracy and was humbled to be an active participant. Most surprising, however, was the feeling of interconnectedness throughout the room.
Speaking on behalf of wolves was one of the most gratifying moments I've ever experienced. Whether in-person or online, we all have the ability to be a voice for animals who have none. It just may surprise you how speaking for them will positively impact you.
Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade!
By joining the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade, you will receive important alerts from us when we need your help to fight for laws against animal cruelty.
Thank you, Ashley, for speaking up for the animals. It is wonderful to click on a computer key to send a message of protest or a much-needed donation and it is another thing to get on that bus and go to D.C. and speak up for your beliefs. You are an inspiration to us all. We could always do more, speak up more, go that extra mile to help the animals -- all animals.

Posted September 19, 2012
|Shauna Miller is the September 2012 Employee of the Month
Shauna Miller is the September 2012 Employee of the Month. Shauna works at All Children's Outpatient Care, East Lake as an Office Supervisor and has been with All Children's since 2010.
Shauna was recognized for her Service Excellence by one of her fellow employees who said:
I have no idea how Shauna does it all! She has multiple roles at East Lake, our vital office manager and a parent! As Office Supervisor she is visible with an open door policy, she handles EQ health and supports the clinical staff in the front office. As a mother, she has experience and knowledge of children with special needs and is able to empathize with so many of the parents that come to All Children's. Her knowledge is a huge resource when parents have difficulties with authorization, need help with funding options, need advice relating to referrals in our system, or anything relating to the needs of our families. Shauna is able and on multiple occasions has taken the time out to counsel these families. She has helped so many of my families by providing accurate information, education and being able to speak from her personal experiences.
Shauna is superwoman, she stays level headed with a positive attitude as she juggles her job, parenting responsibilities, and night school to further her education. Her dedication to all of her roles is amazing. She is such a dedicated team member. She always goes above and beyond for our families and co-workers. Shauna is such an inspiration to our East Lake team!
Shauna's Department Director added:
Shauna accepted this role while in the midst of working on her degree in Health Care Management, and raising three children. During our Center expansion Shauna assisted with any and all assignments to keep East Lake 'afloat' with the onset of the eHealth process for gaining patient authorizations. All was done with a positive and upbeat attitude. She is an absolute joy to work with for our entire staff and she is indeed my right arm with regard to office procedures. No task is too large, complicated or time-consuming for Shauna. She takes all in stride and works hard and efficiently to ensure a positive result for staff and families alike. East Lake is fortunate to have her and this nomination speaks for the entire staff.
Shauna, thank you for your wonderful Service Excellence, the way you manage the East Lake office, and all you do for our patients and their families. Congratulations for receiving the All Children's Hospital Employee of the Month honors!

The fairest apple of them all!
A LUSH Christmas favorite, So White is back this year to bring the crisp, fresh aroma of a juicy apple to your tub. Pop it in the bath and watch it fizz, releasing softening baking soda and the uplifting oils of bergamot and neroli. The white exterior slowly gives way to a secret pink center that fizzes and foams, creating a snow-like froth to cover your tub in a glorious blanket of apple-scented snowy bubbles. If you're feeling like a bit of fun, try making snow angels in the fragrant froth!
- Returning favorite: So White is a Christmas customer favorite we bring back every holiday season.
- Bubble and fizz: We've added cream of tartar to So White so it creates a wee bit of bubbles while it fizzes.
- Happily ever after: So White's soothing fragrance helps you relax after a long day battling crowds at the mall or entertaining family.

A:no- unfortunately you have to put the whole thing in- if you try to break
it- it will crumble- but it's worth using the whole thing!!!Answered on 12/15/2013 by Anonymous

Mirror 1
FIFA 14 captures all the drama and unpredictability of real-world soccer, and is driven by five game-changing innovations which revolutionize artificial intelligence, dribbling, ball control and physical play. It is the largest and deepest feature set in the history of the franchise.
These innovations create a true battle for possession across the entire pitch, deliver freedom and creativity in attack, and capture all the drama and unpredictability of the real-world game
Building on the improvements of last year's FIFA 13, FIFA 14 refines the gameplay even more. With more emphasis on the skills of the players on the pitch, new features like First Touch Control, Complete Dribbling and an evolved Player Impact Engine really emphasise having the right man in the right place at the right time.

Edward Leonard Snyder MD
Professor of Laboratory Medicine; Associate Chair, Clinical Affairs (Therapeutic); Director, Apheresis/Transfusion Service; Director, Blood Bank; Director of Membership, Yale Cancer Center; Editor, Lab News
Research Interests
Cytoskeleton; Health and Medicine; Membranes; Metabolism; Apheresis Technology; Pathogen Inactivation; Platelet Apoptosis; Platelet Storage Lesion Manufacturing Tissue Engineered Vascular Grafts for Pediatric Surgical Patients
Research Summary
Dr. Snyder's research relates to the broad field of Transfusion Medicine and, more specifically, Transfusion Oncology and Transfusion Immunobiology. His current research includes an on-going evaluation of the platelet storage lesion. This includes evaluation of alterations that occur in platelet metabolism during various storage conditions, in the platelet's cystoskeleton and in the mitochondria within platelets. Studies of the in vitro and in vivo aspects of platelet storage are an on-going effort in the laboratory. Dr. Snyder also has a long-term history of investigating the role of leukodepletion in blood components. Most recently, the laboratory has turned to the evaluation of new pathogen reduction technology. This includes the addition of various compounds to blood to remove known and potentially dangerous, as well as unknown, viral, bacterial, and protozoal contaminants in donated blood. The laboratory has a special expertise in radiolabeling human blood cells. The laboratory is currently performing clinical trials related to in vivo recovery and survivals using indium-111 and chromium-51 radiolabeled platelets and red cells, as well as Phase III trials for transfusion of pathogen-reduced blood components into patients. We are also involved in ongoing evaluations of clinical responses of patients to pheresis interventions for a variety of immunologic disorders. This is often done in conjunction with the evaluation of new apheresis machine hardware developed by a variety of corporations.
Dr. Snyder's current research also involves the seeding of biodegradable support structures (mandrils) for use with children with congenital heart disease. This is done in conjunction with Dr. Christopher Breuer.

Cat Ceruminous Gland Tumors
Cat Ceruminous Gland Tumors
This is a big word for a small part of the body. It is in the ear. The glands that produce wax in the ear are called ceruminous glands. These types of Cat Tumors are usually less than 1cm in size and are on a stalk. If the tumor grows, the stalk will allow the tumor to extend to the outer ear where it will then be easily visible. It the tumor is adenocarcinoma, it can be invasive and can metastasize to the salivary glands. Although it is rare that they metastasize to the lungs.
Adenomas are not as common as adenocarcinomas. This applies to both dogs and cats. Cats have been known to have a higher incidence. Cats who have a history of hyperplastic otitis are subject to ceruminous gland tumors. No specific cat breed is more susceptible to ceruminous gland tumors.
Signs and Symptoms
If the tumor becomes large, you can see it. It can also become irritated or infected and begin to bleed. As your cat scratches the ear, the tumor is easily irritated. Excessive scratching of the ear should put you on alert that something is wrong with your cat's ear.
Chronic Cat Ear Infections of the middle ear with purulent (odorous) discharge may indicate a tumor. Unfortunately, these types of cat tumors have the ability to completely block the cat's ear canal.
After a complete history and physical exam, your vet will perform the standard laboratory tests. There will be CBC, urinalysis, and if questions are still there, an MRI or CT scan may be performed to determine the amount of metastasis that may be present. The vet will look deeply into your cat's ear with an otoscope. This will be done under anesthesia. It will also include some flushing of the ear canal and removing any discharge that may be present.
Once the mass is removed, it will be examined by a pathologist to determine the diagnosis.
Treatment Options
If the tumor has not affected the cat's eardrum, it can be removed surgically through the ear canal. If the cat's ear drum is affected, it may need to be removed. This is only recommended when the tumor is malignant. The lateral type of resection has a high recurrence rate. Malignant tumors in the ear can have a survival time of less than one year in cats. Cats with an invasive tumor or those who exhibit neurological signs have a poorer diagnosis.
There are times when Cat Radiation Therapy may be used. This is done if the tumor cannot be completely removed. In this instance, there is a 56 per cent chance of a one year survival.
As with most tumors, Cat Cancer and illnesses in cats, the cat owner needs to pay special attention to any changes in their cats' behavior or physical status. If your cat has chronic middle ear infections or if they start scratching their ears more frequently, it is time to take notice and consult with your vet. By being observant you can save your cat from suffering extreme discomfort and also save yourself from making the difficult decision as to treatment. It will also save you a lot of money to get small issues treated quickly, rather than to let them develop into huge issues that may require surgery in the future.
