Gauntlet Keyboard glove puts a keyboard on your hand
In addition to offering the convenience of typing one-handed, Gauntlet could enable people with disabilities to type more effectively
Gauntlet is the work of four students based at the University of Alabama in Huntsville
Article Summary
The QWERTY computer keyboard has proved to be a versatile design over the years, and whether you're typing on an iPhone screen, or the chiclet keys prevalent on modern laptops, the experience is largely the same. However, typical keyboards aren't generally all that easy to use one-handed or while walking, for example. For those kind of situations you may be better served with a glove called Gauntlet, which features a built-in one handed keyboard.

Representative of the physical geography of London and Paris in general, the capitol status of both London and Paris represents a unique learning environment for studying the impacts of physical geography on the layout and development of cities. This course introduces students to many concepts of physical geography with an urban environment while offering practical, hands-on experience in various field techniques, methods, and assessment (e.g., transects, geographical analysis, survey construction, impacts of development, etc.) with an international perspective usable in any locale. Students may work alongside local researchers, will keep travel journals, and will formulate a final project to be carried out in situ and presented upon return in an open forum as either a poster or a PowerPoint slide show.
This course will be registered as a Spring 2012 course, so Spring Financial Aid is available!

Award-winning author Chimamanda Adichie discusses her fiction and her approach to her writing in an e-mail interview.
Chimamanda Adichie announced her arrival on the world stage with Purple Hibiscus (2003), which won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize and the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award besides being short-listed for the Orange Prize and the Jo hn Llewellyn Rhys Prize. Not to forget being on the long list for the coveted Booker. That year she also received the O.Henry Prize for short fiction. With her second book Half of a Yellow Sun (2006), set during the Biafran war in Nigeria, she swept the Orange Prize. Her stories have seen light of day in prestigious publications like Granta among others.
Born in Nigeria, she moved to the United States at the age of 19. Her parents worked in the University of Nigeria — her father as a professor of statistics and her mother as the university registrar — a setting she paints with ease in her latest work The Thing Around Your Neck. Here, she talks about her work and the reactions to her books: both from within Nigeria and outside.
Could you tell us something about the kind of books you grew up on?
I grew up reading a lot of British children's books. Then I discovered African literature as a young teenager. I read everything: Mills and Boon romances, thrillers, mysteries, although I never got into fantasy and so could not finish Lord of the Rings or Narnia.
Given the patriarchal set-up and attitudes to "useful careers", what was the reaction within your family to your being a writer? And how do they deal with your being famous?
My family was supportive. I was given empty exercise books to write in when I was in primary school. But I was also expected to find a 'real' job that I could do while I wrote on the side. Now, I think they are proud. My parents joke now about being introduced as "parents of Chimamanda" rather than "Professor and Mrs. Adichie".
The Biafran war was over before you were born, so how did you approach writing Half of a Yellow Sun?
The story was really a way of taking small steps, taking a giant issue piecemeal. It wasn't alone. I explored the theme of the Biafran war in other short stories. My story, "Ghosts", is another take on the war, as is "That Harmattan Morning". So in a sense I've been preoccupied with this in my fiction for some time, and to that extent the short story is somewhat similar. That said, the novel is quite different from the story. The characters are different; there's also a difference in how I think in my approach to the work. Then there is the scope, which is so much bigger. It's a huge canvas. It's about how people change.
Biafra is a subject that we are not honest about, don't talk about. We should be asking WHY the war remains a sore subject. I have received some responses from defensive Nigerian readers who ask: oh, you didn't write about the people who suffered in Lagos. And some Igbo readers who say: oh, why did you show our warts as well? But what makes me happiest is getting feedback from Nigerians, Igbo and non-Igbo, who found the book meaningful, who read it without imposing their own preconceived notions on it. It has Biafran sympathies for which I don't apologise but it does not romanticise the war and what I've tried to do is hold on to the human angle in telling the story.
What were the reactions from your people and your country to the novel?
Purple Hibiscus, my first novel, did very well in Nigeria. It was enormously popular, and is now on the syllabus for the West African Examinations Council, which is the exam you take at the end of secondary school.
The book has done very well in Nigeria. It has admirers and detractors. I think that part of its success is that I deal with a part of a history that has long been shrouded in a formal silence. I think also that people can engage with because it happens to be a book about human beings, rather than about propaganda.
But what I really hoped that the stories would do is present the different meanings of what it is to be a Nigerian navigating the American current. Sometimes, when we talk about immigration, there is one generic story, but I also wanted to deal with class and how class affects immigration, and how class often determines the kind of immigrant that one is. A lot of the stories are not about me, obviously. But a lot of my fiction is based on fact; it's about people's stories; it's about what I hear about, or what I read about, and things that have, in fact, happened. I then take on the fiction writer's hat and change things around for my own purposes.
Your reactions to being an Igbo but writing in English… Do you think you'll ever write in your own language? Do you think English is necessary to reach a wider audience?
English and Igbo are both my first languages. I grew up speaking both. I was educated, in Nigeria, entirely in English and so English is the only language I am equipped to write in.
Do you write keeping an audience in mind? Especially since your writing is rooted to your Igbo culture what do you think of the reaction to your writing in the West?
I don't think of audience when I write. To think of audience is to risk self-censorship
Could you tell us something about other writers who have influenced your writing?
I remember reading Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart when I was nine. I didn't realise at the time but I know now it made me understand that I didn't have to write about white people.
And speaking of women, what is your own attitude to feminism? Do you think it means different things in different cultural contexts?
To write a short story is to have very little space, to compress emotion, and because of that, I think that the form requires a kind of incredible focus that the novel doesn't necessarily require. My attitude to feminism is this: I am a happy feminist. I think all fair-minded people should be. Sometimes it becomes a problem of word-choice, as many people have come to associate feminism with hairy women burning bras and so don't want to be called feminists, even though they believe in the basic idea of feminism: that while men and women have their biological differences, those differences should not be used as a reason for any political, economic or social disadvantaging of women.

|By: Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon; ©2003
|Penance is a particular act, or acts, considered as satisfaction offered to God as reparation for sin committed. The authors explain why penance is, in reality, a type of "works salvation" taught by the Roman Catholic church.
Penance is a particular act, or acts, considered as satisfaction offered to God as reparation for sin committed.[1] Penance may involve mortification, such as wearing an irritating shirt woven of coarse animal hair,[2] prayer (e.g., the Rosary), or a religious pilgrimage to a shrine of Christ or Mary,[3] or any number of other deeds.
According to The Catholic Encyclopedia, Jesus Christ Himself instituted the sacrament of penance for "the pardon of sins committed after baptism."[4] Thus, "In the sacrament of penance, the faithful obtain from the mercy of God pardon for their sins against Him...."[5]
As noted, the sacrament of penance is designed specifically to deal with sins committed after baptism. Why? Because the grace that is received or infused in baptism can be entirely lost by mortal ("deadly") sin. Mortal sin is held to be deadly because it actually destroys the grace of God within a person, making salvation necessary again. Thus, a new sacrament (penance) is necessary in order to restore an individual to the state of grace first received at baptism.
In fact, without penance a person cannot be restored to salvation. For example, penance is related to the concept of justification in such a way that it actually "restores" the process of justification. In one sense, this is why the Council of Trent actually referred to the sacrament of penance as the "second plank" of justification.[6]
Thus, salvation through good works can also be seen in the doctrine of penance. Because mortal or "deadly" sin cancels the ongoing process of infusing grace, justification and/or salvation in the life of the Catholic believer, all these must be restored. Thus, "...the result of mortal sin is the loss of sanctifying grace, the loss of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, remorse, and the punitive effect of eternal separation from God. To avoid these consequences, the reception of the Sacrament of Penance is required to return to the love of God."[7]
In other words, apart from performing the sacrament of penance, a Catholic who commits mortal sin is destined for eternal punishment in hell. Escaping such a fate results from the penitent acts of the believer, i.e., a form of salvation by works.
But none of this is biblical. Biblically, prior to salvation all sin is mortal. Even the smallest sin is sufficient to condemn a person eternally. But after salvation no sin is mortal, no matter how grave, because Christ paid the full divine penalty for all sin on the cross—and because this complete forgiveness has been given to the believer. Further, according to Scripture, salvation is based on God's grace and election—not personal merit or works. If salvation is by grace and election, then it depends entirely on God and therefore no saved person can ever be lost and no mortal sin can ever cancel a person's justification.
What this means is that Catholics who believe their mortal sins are forgiven by the work of penance are being deceived. If they are truly saved, then their mortal sins—all of them— are already fully forgiven by the death of Christ solely through their faith in Jesus.
But if they are not saved, then all the penance in the world cannot forgive their sins, whether such sins are "mortal" or the less serious "venial" ones. Biblically, it is faith in Christ alone which forgives sins—not penance or any other sacrament.[8]
Although Catholicism maintains that the works of satisfaction accomplished by the penitent sinner do not give him intrinsic merit (merit of condignity), they do claim they give him other merit (merit of congruity). These are works of satisfaction supposedly done through the power of Jesus and the grace of God. But the key point is that they are works done by an individual—they are his/her works and they are meritorious. In the end, it is still my work and my merit that makes it possible for God to restore me to the process of justification and/or salvation. In the end it is something I do that keeps me out of hell.
Biblically, of course, it is the merit of Jesus Christ alone that reconciles us, justifies us, and assures our entrance into heaven.
The above discussion proves that Catholicism does teach salvation occurs, at least in part, through the sacraments—in other words, works of merit performed by individual Catholics in order to help secure their own redemption.
The above teachings are why "The sacraments as works of human merit, which must be mediated through the church, represent a denial of justification by faith alone and an infringement upon the sovereign freedom of God."[9]
But Rome also teaches that sacraments function in certain ways irrespective of the spiritual condition of the priest or layperson, functioning ex opere operato; in essence, they "work by their own working" to "confer grace to the soul":
But in another sense, the sacraments may be said to not produce grace. They:
Although Catholicism objects to the occasional Protestant assertion that the sacraments function as a kind of magic, it is difficult to deny this charge entirely.[12] R. C. Sproul believes it is incorrect to finally equate the sacraments with magic, but he nevertheless remarks, "...if you made a serious analysis of the essence of magic and the essence of the [Catholic] Doctrine of the Lord's Supper, you would find a great many parallels."[13]
In essence, what the sacraments do effect would seem to be a form of "mechanical" sanctification.
Regardless, the Council of Trent, whose decrees remain authoritative, declared as anathema (divinely cursed) anyone who would deny the seven sacraments of Rome: "If anyone says that the sacraments...were not all instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ, or that there are more or less than seven...or that any one of these seven is not truly and intrinsically a sacrament, let him be anathema."[14] Further, "if anyone says that the sacraments... are not necessary for salvation... and that without them... men obtain from God through faith alone the grace of justification... let him be anathema."[15] Further, Canon Five reads, "If anyone says that baptism is optional, that is, not necessary for salvation, let him be anathema."[16]
In conclusion, the sacraments of Rome are proof that a system of works salvation is taught and therefore that the Catholic Church teaches "another Gospel" (Galatians 1:8,9). In the end, salvation is procured by 1) God's grace, 2) individual faith and 3) works, i.e., the sacraments.

Bitcoin Exchange Mt. Gox Files For Bankruptcy In U.S.
Weeks after its financial troubles forced it to file for bankruptcy protection in Japan, Mt. Gox has obtained similar protection in the U.S. The Tokyo-based bitcoin exchange suffered a collapse after a reported theft of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Mt. Gox had been the most active bitcoin exchange before it announced the loss of hundreds of thousands of units of the cryptocurrency in an attack by hackers. The company said its own bitcoins were stolen along with those of customers.
At least two lawsuits have been filed in U.S. courts against Mt. Gox, including a class-action suit in Chicago federal court, as Reuters reports.
From Japan's NHK:
"The federal court in Texas granted temporary Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection to the Tokyo-based Mt Gox.
"The exchange has not disclosed the amount of its assets in the country. But the U.S. Department of Homeland Security seized 5 million dollars' worth of its assets last May for unlicensed fund transfers."
At the end of February, Mt. Gox "filed for bankruptcy protection in Japan, saying it had lost track of nearly $480 million worth of the virtual currency," as Mark reported for the Two-Way.
The current price for a bitcoin stands at $621 today, according to the CoinDesk site – a price that's slightly above the levels seen on the day Mt. Gox announced the theft. The currency had hit highs of more than $1,000 in the months before that news came out

Is it just me or does the whole world..including every raw fooder seem to have a blog as though its important to document our lives and journey for the world to see.
I know many people here have a blog so it may seem a bit rude to say this. But I don't get blogging? Yes I do get creating online communities but people seem to go online to create worlds around them, websites about themselves, blogs, tweeting what they're up to every five minutes.
I understand people who create recipes and want to share but why do we all feel the need to inform people of our worlds, big it up and broadcast it? Is it a publicity/fame and ego thing - possibly. Because surely just writing about your world as though everyone wants to know your thoughts and buisness is that. Very few blogs I've seen are out to unite people and create communities.
I'm just wondering if anyone else feels the same about the online worlds we create to centre around us?

Here's our translation status as done by the community: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/redux-framework/
Guys, thanks for putting so much hard work into this. Haven't used Redux on any official projects to far, but I was really happy to contribute to the Romanian translation. Great that you posted the link. Been at it yesterday and now there's just one more string to be translated, but somehow the original English wording makes my head spin.
"Must call in of after the "plugins_loaded" action."
Can this be interpreted as being the same with: Should be called after the "plugins_loaded" action ? If so, then I'll add it and finalise the translation.
Cheers, Alex
Should be, "must be called in or after the plugins_loaded action". I'll fix the typo.

I stayed in a 4 bed room; it wasn't crowded at all, had comfy beds, and very large lockers. The largest lockers that I have seen in a hostel! It was also clean and the bathrooms were nice.The staff were friendly and spoke English well. The only negative thing was that the WIFI kept crashing so you couldn't get online for very long. "

- " My friend and I stayed at the hostel for three nights and were told that for the dates we picked we couldn't have the six dorm all of the nights. They said for extra money they'd give us a 4 for one of the nights. When we got there they charged us for two nights in the 4 dorm and 1 night for the 6 dorm. The staff on duty then argued with the paying customer about the issue as well as get "smart" by telling her to read her email more clearly. I wasn't pleased with how she acted. "

Los Cabos, Mexico
My Rating
The snorkeling and kayaking were okay. The boat ride was fun way to see the area by the sea. Rated down because it was scheduled to go 9 to 1. It actually ended at 12 and we wound up waiting the full remaining hour for the return transportation to the hotel. They provided some refreshments but waiting was not pleasant, especially since there were no facilities to get cleaned up in or change after being in the ocean.
Los Cabos, Mexico
My Rating
Not much of a city tour. Shopping was more like being taken to tourist traps where you feel pressured to buy something at grossly inflated prices.
Los Cabos, Mexico
My Rating
Direct, on time, efficient, not much more to say.

LIMA � Over the objection of the prosecutor, a judge on Monday granted a former firefighter�s request to receive mental health counseling for a shopping and spending problem that could avoid a felony conviction.
Prosecutor Juergen Waldick argued Jason Belton should not be allowed mental health counseling to avoid a felony theft conviction. The prosecutor went through each part of the criteria under Ohio criminal law�s mental illness standard to dispute any notion Belton suffered from a mental illness.
But Judge Richard Warren of Allen County Common Pleas Court rejected Waldick�s argument saying he was willing to take a chance on Belton. Additionally, the special chance of applying for intervention in lieu of conviction requires the defendant to plead guilty to the charge and face sentencing should he get in trouble.
�The court is the gatekeeper. I have to make those tough decisions,� Warren said. �We�re in a win-win situation. ... If he doesn�t comply it comes back on the record and he can go to prison.�
In Belton�s case, he pleaded guilty to grand theft, a fourth-degree felony that carries up to 18 months in prison. He stole $14,544 from union money with the American Township Fire Department. He has paid back the money and resigned his position with the Fire Department.
Psychologist Stephen Ross testified Belton suffers from bipolar disorder, a form of post-traumatic stress disorder related to the horrors he witnessed as a firefighter and an impulse control disorder.
In one instance, Belton purchased 30 guitars he never used but put on display at his home, Ross said.
�He told me he was buying things he never used,� Ross said.
On cross-examination, Ross told Waldick he could not say all purchases were related to Belton�s mental illness. He also said there are millions of people who overspend on credit cards and some people do steal from their employers to pay credit card debt, yet not all those people suffer from mental illness.
Belton was ashamed of his behavior and referred to it as �borrowing money� during an evaluation, Ross said.
As part of his treatment, Belton will have to seek mental health counseling and meet with the judge at mental health court through Allen County Common Pleas Court. He also will have to attend a weekly support meeting, stay on his medications and will be on probation.

Which Bank Is the "Central" Bank? An Application of Markov Theory to the Canadian Large Value Transfer System
|November 2008 Number 356
|JEL classification: C11, E50, G20
Authors: Morten L. Bech, James T. E. Chapman, and Rod Garratt
Recently, economists have argued that a bank's importance within the financial system depends not only on its individual characteristics but also on its position within the banking network. A bank is deemed to be "central" if, based on our network analysis, it is predicted to hold the most liquidity. In this paper, we use a method similar to Google's PageRank procedure to rank banks in the Canadian Large Value Transfer System (LVTS). In doing so, we obtain estimates of the payment processing speeds for the individual banks. These differences in processing speeds are essential for explaining why observed daily distributions of liquidity differ from the initial distributions, which are determined by the credit limits selected by banks.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Penny Wolfe Moore, RNC, PhD (Southwestern Adventist University)
Description: This is the third edition of a handbook that compiles the "most common health problems nursing students are likely to encounter in medical-surgical nursing" in alphabetical order. It is said to be pocket-sized, but at 644 pages, it is quite heavy.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a "handy, pocket-sized reference. . .primarily as a supplement to the third edition of Medical-Surgical Nursing: Critical Thinking in Client Care." The handbook is crossed-referenced to the main text, but it may also be used as a stand-alone reference. This is an excellent goal and the handbook accomplishes it.
Audience: Nursing students are the primary audience for this handbook, especially students who use the third edition of the main book as their primary medical-surgical textbook. It will be very useful on medical-surgical units as a quick reference for an unfamiliar disorder. The authors are credible; they are both in academia but there is no indication that nurses in practice contributed.
Features: This handbook of health problems is organized in alphabetical order for quick retrieval. Each condition includes an overview (definition, incidence, pathophysiology), causes, manifestations, diagnostic tests, management (medical and nursing), and home care teaching. It is great for giving the basic information about many health issues; if in-depth information is needed, this is not the book to reference.
Assessment: As a companion to the main text, this handbook is great. As a stand alone reference for health problems, it is just not as helpful as some others such as Handbook of Diseases, 3rd edition (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2003). In addition, it is really not pocket friendly, so moving to a larger, more in-depth book for reference might be more helpful.
