For many people, the word "robot" is likely to conjure up images of metal, mechanical men not unlike Cygan. But instead of creating robots in our own image, the relatively new field of "soft robotics" takes inspiration from creatures such as octopuses, squids, starfish and caterpillars for soft, flexible robots that could squeeze through small spaces. Such robots could benefit from a new hydrogel developed at the University of California, Berkeley that flexes in response to light. Read More
There are robots that walk around like spiders, there are robots that avoid objects, and there are robots that talk, but what about a robot spider that talks while avoiding objects? Hobbyist Kevin Ochs' creation, Charlotte, is just that. Charlotte is a hexapod robot with a talking head that lets it narrate its progress as it avoids collisions. Read More
What's better than as robot bartender that can pour you a beer? How about a robot waiter that can see you need a refill and comes over to pour you another one. Hema S. Koppula, a Cornell graduate student in computer science, and Ashutosh Saxena, an assistant professor of computer science are working at Cornell's Personal Robotics Lab on just such a robot. Using a PR-2 robot, they've programmed it to not only carry out everyday tasks, but to anticipate human behavior and adjust its actions. Read More
Most land-dwelling animals with skeletons (exo or endo) have the ability to jump. It is of particular importance to survival, as running primarily consists of a long series of jumps. Without the ability to jump, a robot's freedom to move around is limited, something that is particularly true of smaller robots for which even relatively narrow trenches or low walls can prove too much of an obstacle. A robotics group at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) has taught a six-legged crawling robot to jump, giving it remarkable acrobatic capabilities. Read More
Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), which lays claim to being the largest shipbuilding company in the world, says it has developed a miniature welding robot that can be easily transported by a worker and affixed to a ship using magnets. The small, portable robot is expected to increase worker productivity two to threefold. Read More
One of the major anticipated applications for robots is in care for the elderly and helping them with daily tasks. This means that robots have got to adapt to human lifestyles, not the other way around, because granny can't be expected to program the robot or rearrange her house to suit the machine's limitations. The Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute's Lifelong Robotic Object Discovery (LROD) project aims to address this by developing ways to use visual and non-visual data to help robots to identify and pick up objects so they can work in a normal human environment without supervision.

The meaning of the word biomimicry is being devalued and inflated, to the point that any technology or design with the vaguest resemblance to something in the natural world tends to have the word unthinkingly applied to it. PR people in the automotive and architectural fields are now particularly fond of the word. So it's refreshing to be able to report on some research that has taken a detailed look at a natural phenomenon, the armor of a seahorse, and thought about how it might be applied in the field of robotics. The researchers think a similar structure of sliding plates could be used to improve robot arms used for underwater exploration and bomb disposal. Read More
RobotLabs has launched a KickStarter campaign to develop a robot lawnmower. Though that may not sound particularly new, the company claims other automated lawnmowers aren't true robots because they don't adhere to Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. In other words, they're not safe enough, RobotLabs claims. RobotLabs claims its SmartMow is different, shutting down almost instantaneously when people or animals get close. Read More
With one in five Japanese citizens now aged 65 or older, various robotics technologies are being developed to prolong independent living and improve quality of life at home. The main alternative to nursing homes and hospitals would be smart homes designed around the needs of the elderly. Earlier this week, Honda announced that it will test some of its life support robots in a mock household environment at the Future Life Showroom, in Sekisui House's brand new SUMUFUMU Lab. Read More
Teachable robot helps assemble IKEA furniture

Teaching a robot how to deal with real-world problems is a challenging task. There has been much progress in building robots that can precisely repeat individual tasks with a level of speed and accuracy impossible for human craftspeople. But there are many more tasks that could be done if robots could be supplied with even a limited amount of judgement. A robotics group led by Professor Sylvain Calinon at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) is making progress in solving this problem. Read More

Printer's Tray & Moveable Type - Ash Wednesday Bushfires, Mt Macedon, Victoria, 16 Feb 1983 (Bushfire Affected) Reg. No: HT 28192
- Summary:
- Printer's tray with pieces of moveable type that have melted and fused to the tray. The tray was found in the ashes of Viewfield, a house in Mt. Macedon belonging to John and Zelma Gartner, after the Ash Wednesday bushfires of 1983. The tray had been located, along with others objects associated with The Hawthorn Press, in a studio on the ground floor of the house. The Hawthorn Press was established by John Gartner, who was also a noted collector and numismatist, in the 1930s and flourished until the 1980s. It played a pioneering role in publishing the works of Australian immigrant poets and specialised in local and organisational histories, poetry, war memoirs and other works of Australiana. After the Press closed, John moved some of the equipment up to his house in Mt Macedon, where he a had specialised studio he called the print room.
The small community of Mt Macedon, northwest of Melbourne, was engulfed by bushfire on the night of 16 February, when a late wind change directed the fire from East Trentham up onto the mountain. 7 people died and 628 homes were destroyed in East Trentham and Mt Macedon. This tray, with pieces of type used for hand-setting books and pamphlets, was one of the few recognisable objects retrieved from the ashes of Viewfield.
- Description:
- Rectangular printer's tray with individual type blocks fused to the surface in horizontal rows. The type is legible in the first few rows, but becomes increasingly blurred in the lower rows as the type melted from the heat of the fire.
- Statement Of Significance:
- The Ash Wednesday bushfires of February 1983 were one of Australia's greatest natural disasters, as 'holocaust fires' swept through Victoria and South Australia. In the space of a single day in Victoria, 47 people were killed and nearly 3000 homes and other buildings destroyed. This object, along with others from the same house, demonstrates the severity and extent of the fire in Mt Macedon. It is an eloquent symbol of the destruction of the specific property in which it was found, but it also represents the universal power of fire to irrevocably change objects, homes and lives.
- Acquisition Information:
- Donation from Mrs Zelma Gartner, 2011

Why are films like "Dam 999" always easy targets, asks film-maker K. Hariharan highlighting the fundamentalism about cinema as the bane of the nation.
A few weeks ago I was happily informed that the best result that emerged out of the "Aarakshan" fiasco that threatened the film's release was a government ruling which assured that the Central Board of Film Certification's decision would be final and to be respected "in toto" by all governmental agencies. And last week, the Tamil Nadu government officially banned the screening of a genuinely certified film called "DAM 999" in all theatres.
We have all heard of Indian popular cinema becoming soft targets for politicians and vandals alike in order to seek publicity "freely" through the press and TV media. But the promulgation of a ban on screening "DAM 999" by the Tamil Nadu Theatres association and the State government reflects the lowest point that such "soft" targeting can ever reach.
This low budget English film which would have hardly touched 20 screens in the State suddenly becomes a target and the director is pushed into the league of people like Aruna Roy and Medha Patkar for making a "serious" environmental statement! We have heard of vandals targeting biggies like "Jodha Akbar" in the north or a Khushboo in the south to make their presence felt and ideology heard. With this incident we realise that they are so desperate to be heard that they will stoop to lash even non-entities now!
Surely this is symptomatic of a larger malaise and demands that we try to diagnose the core of this disease. These "political" vandals want attention but whom are they trying to reach out to? Have they not succeeded by hitting the headlines of the prominent dailies for a few days in succession? If they have succeeded then the problems starts with the fact that the intelligentsia in India still believes that cinema is a very "influential" medium and therefore give such acts "publicity" and a certain kind of advocacy. Should we not even enquire as to why we are even reporting this incident when we could give that valuable space for dozens of other vital issues that plague this nation?
Like any "committed" media-person, Sohan Roy, the director of "DAM 999" had made a 22-minute documentary two years ago highlighting the condition of the Mullaperiyar dam with quotes from environmentalists. And this documentary has done its rounds at various forums without any interference, quite in the same way that hundreds of articles on the Mullaperiyar dam issue have also found their way to arouse awareness. So why were the media agents in the press and TV not attacked and why is this film attempt being targeted?
What makes anyone believe that, in the plethora of media avenues available to the populace today, this film is going to make the definitive impact which will tilt the balance of a 70-year-old controversial issue in one way or the other?
The "corporatised" print and TV media supposedly constitutes of "intellectuals" and members of a high class who are fair and objective and therefore not prone to provoke the common masses. Unfortunately, both, the intellectuals and vandals continue to believe that cinema can corrupt the "innocent" minds of a nation despite knowing that these very "innocent" minds reject 85 per cent of the films released. Strangely, the news media also reported all of Sohan Roy's opinions, rather convincingly, about the precarious condition of the Mullaperiyar and many other dams in India and also downplayed the opinions of the vandals and the Tamil political parties behind the disruption. And there was no vandalism against such print or TV media.
This means that the myth of cinema's "seditious" influence continues to sway the minds of the learned and the illiterate alike. And this happens due to a combination of two reasons.
First, we as a nation seem to have lost all faith in the availability of a commonly acceptable scientific temperament. For example, even after printing an extremely scientific analysis on the Kudankulam Nuclear Project by our foremost "scientific" thinker, Abdul Kalam, the protests continue and I have even met some well meaning people expressing their apprehensions of Kalam's capability of actually making a proper scientific evaluation. Have we become a nation of intellectuals turned cynics?
Choosing to differ
Secondly we view cinema as some kind of fundamental position, a sort of religious location where fanatics choose to celebrate icons and desecrate those which challenge their comfort zones of prejudices and bigotry. So while some bigots do not want their opinions about the Mullaperiyar dam to be disturbed by filmmakers, some others do not want cinema to disturb their opinions about sexuality, gender, caste or nationalism. Sadly this fundamentalism about cinema has been a bane of our country ever since independence clearly reflecting our sick state-of-mind.
The solution has to come from the so-called "objective" media. The day the press and TV media choose to ignore these incidents, these vandals will start doing a serious re-think on their strategies. Editors and reporters have to learn to differentiate between vandals who indulge in violence only to get some free publicity and the genuine voices expressing the anguish of the deprived and exploited. Is this difficult to ask for?

The loot is just a bonus, means for better equipment and whatnot, not something to base a game on imo.
the guy asking questing every 1 m
ok, right.
This game looks horrible lol..Who made this game omfg..Looks like it was made bye 8th graders hahah..Its that bad..What the heck they thinking..With titles like path of exile an grim dawn out soon...This game is just laughable..Van helsing is way better than this im having a blast with it..
i got into the alpha/beta a few weeks ago, played it for about an hour and then couldn't even think of touching it again. the gameplay as a whole(even considering its beta) is so sluggish. if they sped it up to be 3x faster it might be decent. but at the moment, the game is soooooo boring and slow.
Video doesn't work for me either. This is why I do everything through youtube....
This is as boring as a game can get.
BORING... like other ARPG-s.
No videos play for me anymore. Maybe my computer is rejecting GS. lol
Kinda like little big planet meets ARPGs. Could be a lot of fun.
Quite a few of these ARPG's coming out it seems. I guess we're slowly movine away from the age of FPS's and MMORPG's. Looks intresting...
I was interested until i heard the word "timed". :(
Was hoping for something similar to Dungeon Defenders. A little bit disappointed with what they've shown here. Looks like a mediocre isometric dungeon crawler.
how many times he said that?
@Gladestone1 I highly doubt 8th graders would be able to code and design a game like that. The game is in alpha.
@heat_masheet You should just stick to consoles.
@heat_masheet You running an Ad blocker? Have you tried clearing your browser cache? We've recently made some changes to the video player, and would love to help you get stuff running again.
Which Browser/OS are you running?
@rrhammer Same. I love ARPGs but I hate being timed. I'm an explorer and a completionist.
@heat_masheet Nvm videos not loading again, using chrome btw

Beyoncé took some time from nurturing her newborn to gush about the joys of motherhood and bonding with Blue Ivy.
"Nothing can describe the feeling. You have the instant connection once you know your child is growing inside you, but when you hold it for the first time, the words can't be found," she told Star magazine.
Proving that clichés aren't popular for nothing, Beyoncé said a lot of what she heard about what she'd feel as a new mom is true.
"It's an old cliché that the thing expectant moms look forward to the most is holding their child in their arms for the first time, but it's one of those clichés that is a real truth," she said.
Aside from disputing rumors that the whole pregnancy was a farce, Beyoncé and Jay-Z kept relatively quiet about their journey to parenthood. However, after Blue Ivy was born, a rap verse from Jay-Z suggested that the two had experienced at least one miscarriage.
"Last time the miscarriage was so tragic. We was afraid you'd disappear, but nah, baby, you magic," he rapped in his new song, "Glory."
Those past struggles seem to have only added to what the parents are feeling now.
"A child is the greatest gift you can receive, and we are so excited and blessed to be in this situation," she said.
While a statement from Beyoncé came sooner than a lot of fans expected, the world still awaits a glimpse at the baby whose infant voice appeared on her dad's track, setting a new record for the youngest ever to appear on a Billboard chart.
So, does the baby look like Jay or Bey? Kelly Rowland wouldn't divulge that info when asked by USA Today.
"That will be something that everybody will have to experience the same way I did. That's for her parents to disclose, not myself," she said.
However, another former Destiny's Child buddy shared a little about Blue's beauty.
"She is absolutely gorgeous. We were all in love," Michelle Williams said.

Labor sets disabled worker hiring goal for contractors
Thursday - 12/8/2011, 12:35pm EST
This story has been updated from its original version.
By Jolie Lee
Web Editor
Federal News Radio
The Labor Department is proposing a rule to mandate at least seven percent of a federal contractor's workforce be made up of people with disabilities.
The rule, to be published in the Federal Register on Friday, strengthens the current affirmative action requirements that call for equal employment opportunities for people with disabilities, according to an agency release.
The proposal would also apply to federal subcontractors.
"For nearly 40 years, the rules have said that contractors simply need to make a 'good faith' effort to recruit and hire people with disabilities. Clearly, that's not working," said Patricia Shiu, the director of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, in a statement. "Our proposal would define specific goals, require real accountability and provide the clearest possible guidance for employers seeking to comply with the law. What gets measured gets done. And we're in the business of getting things done."
The 7 percent goal is based on data from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey on the entire workforce, said a department spokesperson in an email to Federal News Radio.
"However, there is no data set that fully quantifies workers with disabilities employed only by federal contractors," she said.
According to Labor, the rule also increases data collection record-keeping requirements, and contractors would have to conduct annual self-reviews on their recruitment efforts.
Trey Hodgkins, senior vice president for National Security & Procurement Policy at industry group TechAmerica, said his "wish" about the proposal is that it included incentives for contractors who hired disabled workers, such as giving contractors a point advantage in the contract evaluation process.
"That kind of an incentive doesn't cost the government ... and would truly drive hiring of disabled people," Hodgkins said in a phone interview with Federal News Radio.
He acknowledged that there can be a higher initial cost to accommodate disabled workers. However, Hodgkins added, "What we've historically found is they're very loyal, dedicated people and they're hard workers."
Comments on the proposed rule must be submitted within 60 days of publication in the Federal Register.

I've got an item from here on GraphicRiver (it was actually part of the Birthday Bundle). I'm working on a screencast and I'd like to use the image as title "slides" for the sections of the screencast. Does the standard license allow me to use the same image, say, 5 or 6 times within the same screencast?
Thanks for clearing this up for me! I couldn't find this in the wiki/help.
I guess you can use it in your screencast because it will be considered a single project. Only staff can confidently say something about this though.
From my knowledge one's able to use a single license item in one project, more information about this here: http://graphicriver.net/wiki/buying/licenses-buying/graphicriver-regular-and-extended-license-usage-examples/
As it says in the Single License, one's able to use the item in one project. It don't state how many times though, logically, I'd say it still counts as one project. One restriction one need to take note of though, the project one's using the Single License item in, must be free and not include the files if it's downloadable.
If I'm wrong Amanda, feel free to correct me
One restriction one need to take note of though, the project one's using the Single License item in, must be free and not include the files if it's downloadable.
Ah, well, then I guess I can't use it; the screencast is for a Nettuts+ Premium / Tuts+ Marketplace tutorial, so it's definitely not free (although the image can't be downloaded separately, only in the video).
Thanks for pointing that out, Patrik!
No worries! Glad I managed to clear things up
Too bad you can't use it though, anyway, best of luck with the tutorial!!

Critical Review by Susan Salter Reynolds
SOURCE: A review of A Poetry Handbook, in The Los Angeles Times Book Review, June 12, 1994, p. 6.
In the following review, Reynolds applauds Oliver for going beyond a how-to format to "connect the conscious mind and the heart."
Most of us have a natural aversion to books that presume to tell us how to write poetry. [A Poetry Handbook] is not one of those books. Mary Oliver would probably never admit to anything so grandiose as an effort to connect the conscious mind and the heart (that's what she says poetry can do), but that is exactly what she accomplishes in this stunning little handbook, ostensibly written "to empower the beginning writer who stands between two marvelous and complex things—an experience (or an idea of a feeling), and the urge to tell about it in the best possible conjunction of words." From here on in it's all straightforward work: Oliver gives us tools "for the listening mind," tools we need to write poetry, excavating them from centuries of embellishment and obfuscation. First, there is Sound, that link between experience and expression that has somehow come unhinged. Without it, there's hardly any pleasure in poetry. Oliver reminds us that there are not just vowels, but mutes (b, d, k, p, t, q) and aspirates (c, f, g, h, j, s, x) and liquids (l, m, n, r)! Then there is the Line: Why do we turn it when we do (a question often asked of poets, particularly writers of free verse)? Originally, Oliver reminds, the length of the line was linked to the regular English breath, for which the iambic pentameter is best suited. But there are other patterns which, by their very sound, convey anger or tension or melancholy, like notes and phrases in music: the dactyl, the anapest, the trochee, the caesura, all tools to reunite sound and meaning. And there are others: Imagery, Tone (much more intimate, writes Oliver, in contemporary poetry) and Diction. Perhaps my favorite, however, are the brief sections on "Revision," and "Workshops and Solitude," for it is here that Oliver gives some unobtrusive hints for caring for that part of the person that writes poetry: "Athletes take care of their bodies. Writers must simply take care of the sensibility that houses the possibility of poems." "Rise early," and "live simply and honorably," Oliver suggests. "Think of yourself," she writes, "as one member of a single, recognizable tribe."

Cat owners are smarter than dog owners
Smarter than the average dog owner? Gizmag's Mike Hanlon with Lulu (Photo: Mike Hanlon/Gizmag)
Oscar and Fergus don't seem fussed by the census results (Photo: Noel McKeegan/Gizmag)
In the UK cats and dogs are owned by 26% and 31% of households respectively
UK research has found that cats and dogs are owned by owners with similar characteristics but that cat owners are more educated
Article Summary
It's been a while since there was a dog and cat census in the UK - about three cat years or twenty human years in fact. They've gone undetected, hidden behind the sofa, curled up in the laundry, and therefore not considered much of a subject for scientific peer-reviewed journals. So for all this time it's escaped our notice that numbers of domestic dogs and cats are increasing, and while cats and dogs are owned by people with similar characteristics, cat owners are more likely to be qualified to degree level.

The name of your form is SONGAHM which means: "Pine tree temple." Pine tree is known as evergreen...Evergreen has strength the year round and a long life. Evergreen also is a symbol of unchanging human loyalty.
The following is the basic meaning behind the color of your belt. If you would like a more detailed description of the philosophy behind your rank, please refer to volume one of Grand Master Lee's collection on traditional Taekwondo entitled, "The Way of Traditional Taekwondo."
"Pure and without the knowledge of Songahm Taekwondo. As with the Pine Tree, the seed must now be planted and nourished to develop strong roots."
The student has no knowledge of Songahm Taekwondo and begins with a clean (pure) slate.
Forms are a tool that an instructor uses to teach a student all the basics and kicks systematically...beginning stage to advanced. It is essential for you as a student of Taekwondo to learn how to develop focus, correct technique, balance, speed, power, and feeling of movements.
The forms are broken down into segments. The segments are combinations of techniques that create a naural flow to the form.
Segments break down: 2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 3
Songahm IL-Jahng (1) was developed by Grand Master Lee and dedicated Senior Instructors. It has 18 movements and its Ki-haps are on the 7th movement (right side kick), the 16th movement (left side kick).
"Welcome to the largest family of martial artists in the world. Songahm Taekwondo is the most modern 'traditional' martial art available today. And, my staff and I work very hard to continue advancing the art so that every new student, as yourself, will be introduced to 'state of the art' Taekwondo.
White belt doesn't mean that you are at the bottom. You have made the step that hundreds of thousands only dream about. You, unlike those who only talk about it, have conquered the first step to achieving your black belt. But more importantly, all good things have a strong foundation and a solid beginning. The White belt is your foundation. And, I guarantee that the foundation you will build on within Songahm Taekwondo is 'light years' ahead of what was offered to me when I was a White belt.
Always remember that a frog too, was once just a tadpole."
Grand Master H.U. Lee

Important Information:
It is vital you keep yourself and others safe while visiting the coast, please take moment to read the information below.
- The risk of landslides and rock falls increase following servere weather and sea conditions. Residents and visitors to the county are encouraged to follow safety advice along the coastline as landslides and rock falls can occur quickly and without warning. Tides have also re-shaped and stripped beaches around the coast meaning it is easier to be cut off by the incoming tides. More information about landslides and rock falls can be found at www.dorsetforyou.com/410768.
- Walking along coastal paths may also be muddy and slippery in places so people should keep to official routes and follow warning signs at all times.
- You can find more information on World Heritage Sites in South West England, including the Jurassic Coast, the City of Bath, Cornish Mining and Stonehenge and Avebury, as well as the North Devon Biosphere and English Riviera GeoPark UNESCO sites, by visiting the Natural England Website.

Nature, Woman, and the Art of Politics
This impressive collection of previously unpublished essays examines the relationship between competing conceptions of "nature" and "woman." By looking historically and comprehensively at the problems and questions associated with human thinking about nature and woman, the contributors strive to gain the proper vantage point from which to assess modern virtues and vices. Also taking note of important religious and literary contributions to thought on nature and woman, these essays present a broad range of claims from classical Greece to the present intended to stimulate modern thinking. Nature, Woman, and the Art of Politics will prove indispensable to scholars of philosophy, political science and women s studies.

Throwback Thursday #TBT
I decided to join Tots And Me this week for her Throwback Thursday blog post. It has been a crazy week at work and at home so I thought I would bring back a funny post.
It is called, The Four Liquids of Life.

Calling All Middle Aged Bloggers #MAB
As I am trying to get back into the swing of things on my blog, I have realized that I have lost my niche. When I first started my blog I had small babies, I was a stay at home Mom and my trials and tribulations were all so different than they are today.
It dawned on me....I am a middle aged mom with a teenager, a tween and a 7 and 8 year old. I have changed. They have changed, things have changed. My blog needs to change.
Most of the blogs I find are just like what I used to write about. Being a new Mom, having babies, going another night without sleep, trying to keep up the house and be a good Mom, worrying about staying home or going back to work, and so many other things that we all have in common.
It is not as easy to find a middle aged blogger #MAB. Why you ask? I asked myself the same question. Being a middle aged blogger we have different things to write about and they are just as important so why not.
As I look around the blogosphere I hope to find others who share the same thoughts I do and are blogging about it. And I hope the newer Moms will enjoy reading about the next steps they will have to look forward to in life and in their children's lives.
Please leave me your link if you are a middle aged blogger writing out there. I would love to stop by, visit and follow your blog. Even if you are not a middle aged blogger I would still love you to leave me your link so I can visit, read and follow your blog. Let me know that I am not alone out here!

Time Passes By.....
Raising my four daughters and working a full time job takes everything I have. But writing is the one thing for "just me" that I love. I love getting comments and knowing that there are others out there just like me. I love reading other blogs and seeing that I am not alone in this thing called "motherhood".
My New Years resolution to my myself is to get back into a schedule and start writing again. What do you plan on doing for yourself in 2015?

Normal life was hit in many areas of western Odisha as shops and offices remained closed and rail and road traffic disrupted during a bandh called by Koshal State Central Coordination Committee (KSCCC) demanding a separate Koshal state comprising ten districts of the region.
The dawn-to-dusk shutdown was called in the region seeking formation of a separate state comprising ten districts of Sambalpur, Bargarh, Subarnapur, Balangir, Nuapara, Boudh, Jharsuguda, Sundargarh, Deogarh and Kalahandi and Athmallik sub-division of Angul.
Describing the bandh as a complete success, KSCCC leader Upendra Mohapatra said the "shutdown was total and peaceful with people from all strata of society extending spontaneous support to the demand."
Shops, business establishments, educational institutions including colleges and schools remained closed, while people belonging to different sections took out rallies and staged demonstrations at many places.
Holding placards, the bandh supporters also picketed before different central and state government offices, banks and other financial institutions.
Agitators, including local residents obstructed train movement and blocked highways disrupting passenger train services. Both government and private buses remained off the road. Fuel stations, cinema halls, malls and other commercial centres also remained closed in the district.

- This article is about the OF-4 rank Polkovnik in Slavophone countries. For the equivalent rank in Anglophone armed forces see Lieutenant colonel, or Oberstleutnant in Austria, Germany and Swizerland.
Podpolkovnik or pod-polkovnik, literally sub-colonel, is a military rank in Slavic countries which corresponds to the lieutenant colonel in the English-speaking states and military, a commissioned rank that is above major and below colonel. The rank as well as the word itself translates as lieutenant colonel.[1]
In different languages the exact name of this rank maintains a variety of spellings, however the transliteration is also in common usage for the sake of its historical context:
- Bulgaria — подполковник

An unlocked phone can offer features that are unavailable on locked devices. Shoppers choose to buy unlocked phones when they want to use a new carrier, customize their gadgets or use models that aren't offered by their service providers.
Network carriers can't sell certain devices because of contractual restrictions which can frustrate their subscribers. Aside from leaving the coverage company, buying an unlocked phone is consumers' only option when they want to use a device that a provider doesn't sell.
Many of the most popular smartphones have been unlocked, and they can be synced with any signal. The iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3 and Sony Xperia S can all be obtained without having to sign up with a new carrier. Once you find the perfect device, you simply find your coverage provider's signal and tune your phone to its frequency.
You can also find phones that are no longer manufactured. Instead of limiting yourself to touchscreen devices, you can find feature phones and QWERTY models that have been discontinued. Many of these phones are new so you don't have to worry about using a refurbished or damaged device.
Unlocked phones can access most major carriers. Changing companies can help save you money by avoiding roaming charges while traveling abroad or out of your local coverage area. Additionally, you can bring your device anywhere instead of buying a new phone whenever you move to a location that isn't supported by your company.
Unlocking your phone manually can be difficult. Without the proper training and technical skill, you can damage your phone and prevent it from working properly. Buying an unlocked phone eliminates all of the hassles so you can immediately begin using your device.

The Delicate Art And Science Of Naming Hurricanes
With all the unknowns attached to the 2013 hurricane season, there's at least one thing that's down in black and white: the 21 names chosen for this year's tropical storms.
The first name up: "Andrea."
Strike the last letter, add a "w" and you've got the name of the 1992 hurricane that killed 65 people and caused an estimated $26 billion worth of damage.
"Andrea" (which does mean "Andrew," if you happen to live in Italy) might hit a little too close to home for South Floridians who remember all too well the havoc created by the monster storm.
There are currently six lists of names in use for storms in the Atlantic. The lists – compiled by the World Meteorological Organization -- are used in rotation and recycled every six years. Hurricane names are permanently retired when a storm is particularly deadly or destructive, out of respect for the victims.
But that rule doesn't apply to "sound-alike" names.
"We do tend to keep to the shorter, easier to pronounce names," says National Hurricane Center Director Richard Knabb. "Some of them are somewhat similar to past names. But we clearly articulate that this is a new system that doesn't have the DNA of a past system."
Before a tropical storm can earn a name, it needs to do two things: display a rotating circulation pattern and reach a peak wind speed of at least 39 miles an hour.
In the event that there are more than 21 named tropical cyclones in one season, any additional storms will take names from the Greek alphabet -- Alpha, Beta, Gamma and so on.
The last time that happened was in 2005, when the most active storm season on record used up all the listed hurricane names, right down to "Wilma."

Removed the softerner dispenser and the inner cap and seal. Removed the mounting bolt. Pulled on Auger and entire agitator came out. I needed to separate the parts. It said to stand on the bottom and pull on the top. I am an "older" woman and after wrestling with it for an hour without success I waited for my nephew to come by to separate the two pieces. When he did, it popped apart and all the parts went flying. Poor guy thought he had broken it. After conviencing him that that was what I wanted it to do, he left. Dirrections weren't very clear as to what went on first and I didn't have the convience of seeing it before it flew apart. Finally put it together and replaced the bolt. To no avail, something was wrong. My sister was making the same repair at her house across the street so we double teamed it. She came over and told me that I needed to put the Bottom agitator in the machine, then the spacer thrust, then the auger, then the assembled cam and cam dogs, then the bolt. All went well and was working.......so we thought. Started a washer load and the washer started leaking water. Don't know why, still don't know why. All I did was remove everything, put it back the very same way, and it hasn't leaked since. Go figure!

Boot camp / Fusion advice
Started Jan 10, 2009 | Discussions thread
Regular Member • Posts: 436
I've recently installed Fusion. The main difference between running windows from BootCamp and Fusion (other than speed) is that with Fusion you can suspend the virtual machine so it comes back up in 1-2 seconds, i.e., you aren't shutting down windows. You can't do that with a BootCamp virtual machine because BootCamp doesn't know about the suspension part.
If you don't suspend the virtual machine you can use the same VM for both BootCamp and Fusion.

On Friday night, Maximum Fighting Championships will bring their brand of mixed martial arts to Ontario for only the province's second regulated show.
Highlighting the monumental card is a slew of UFC veterans, as well as two championship fights featuring some of the finest prospects in the sport.
Below is a brief breakdown of the main card.
Pete Spratt vs. Demi Deeds
Coming off of two straight losses, Demi Deeds will look to get things back on track against UFC veteran Pete Spratt in what should be an explosive welterweight battle.
The two well rounded fighters have both been known to succumb to submissions and will likely cancel each other out on the ground, making this a stand up battle.
The aging Spratt has struggled as of late, and I'm going to take the upset in this one. Deeds by decision, or possibly submission.
Marcus Davis vs. Curtis Demarce
Losing four of his last five, "The Irish Hand Grenade" is looking to back on track with a fresh start in MFC. Luckily for him, Demarce is not the fighter to test his ever weary chin.
Demarce is a submission fighter and could threaten on the mat, but the wily Davis should be able to avoid the ground game. I've got Davis getting back on track with a knockout.
Hermes Franca vs. Robert Washington
Longtime UFC vet and former title contender Hermes Franca is looking for redemption. The last two years have been miserable for Franca and he's hoping MFC will be his rebirth.
Standing in his way is the 9-2 Robert Washington, who's looking to establish himself as a threat at lightweight against Franca.
Washington should have a significant strength and size advantage in this fight, but will have to be careful of the always dangerous submission game of Franca.
I don't think Washington has the striking to knockout Franca, and think the UFC veteran will get back on track with a decision victory in this one.
MFC Welterweight Championship: Douglas Lima vs. Terry Martin
The heavy handed UFC veteran Terry Martin will look to put an end to Douglas Lima's title run and win streak when he brings his heavy hands to the cage Friday night. Unfortunately, "The Phenom" has other plans.
The submission guru will likely look to put Martin on the ground in a hurry, and should have little trouble doing so. I see Lima taking this one by submission in the first with little difficulty.
MFC Light-Heavyweight Championship: Ryan Jimmo vs. Zak Cummings
Fourteen straight wins has Jimmo pegged as one of the top prospects in the sport, not to mention the shiny MFC Light-Heavyweight Championship he carries around with him.
Zak Cummings, a Strikeforce veteran with an impressive 12-2 record himself, will look to put an end to the incredible undefeated streak and take away Jimmo's belt.
The two well rounded fighters should put on an exciting bout that incorporates all aspects of the mixed martial arts game, and I'm finding it hard to pick a winner in this one.
I expect a decision and I'm going to take Jimmo to retain his title. I believe holding the title will give him the momentum needed to overcome the always tough Cummings.
Thanks for reading and don't forget to join us tonight at our Live Chat/Blog for this magnificent event.

Abraham Cruzvillegas (born 1968, Mexico City) is a Mexican conceptual artist. He is best known for his work with found objects, and particularly his ongoing "autoconstrucción" project.
Biography and works[edit]
Cruzvillegas was grew up in Ajusco, a district in the south of Mexico City. He studied Philosophy and Art at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). He later became a professor and went on to teach Art History and Theory at UNAM.
As a sculptor and writer, Cruzvillegas began as a central participant in a new wave of conceptual art in Mexico City during the 1980s and 90s, studying under Gabriel Orozco from 1987 to 1991. Orozco has been proposed as the "dominant influence" on his work.[1] Along with Orozco, Damian Ortega, Dr Lakra, and Minerva Cuevas, Cruzvillegas was considered part of a new movement in Latin American art (which has been compared to the YBA boom in Britain in the 1980s.[2][3] or the Modernist movement of the 1920s [4]).
Together with Gabriel Kuri, Lakra and Orozco, he participated in "Friday Workshops" (Taller de los Viernes) in the 1980s, a weekly meeting in which the artists met and collaborated.[5] As Cruzvillegas explained in the exhibition catalogue for 'Escultura Social: A New Generation of Art from Mexico City (2007): "We learned together to discuss, criticise, and transform our work individually, with no programmes, marks, exams, diplomas or reprisals. We did not intend to become known, prepare for a show, go against the grain, make our presence felt as a group, or even make work … this was my education".[6] This then developed into the artist-run space "Temistocles 44" in the 1990s, founded by Eduardo Abaroa and Cruzvillegas. His works have been shown throughout America, Europe and Mexico. Elements of the Autoconstrucción project were shown (amongst others) at Tate Modern in March 2012, in the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford in 2011, at the Walker Art Center in 2013, and at the Haus der Kunst, Munich in 2014. His work is held in a number of collections, including Tate Modern, London[7] and MoMA, New York.[8]
From 2007 onwards, Cruzvillegas worked on a series of works exploring what he calls autoconstrucción, or self-construction. As described by Chris Sharp in Art Review,
"autoconstrucción has been able to manifest in [...] many guises, places and modes: from small autonomous sculptures to large sculptural-cum-architectural installations; from mobile musical collaborations to an hourlong film, even a play. Autoconstrucción is multiplicity incarnate. Indeed, the term could be said to designate more of a spirit and an ethic than, say, a theory-driven aesthetic."[9]
He states in Art:21, "Sometimes, I just play with the materials, finding combinations, taking whatever is at hand [...] things, they speak, [and] I try to find a balance among them". [10]
From 2012, this project was accompanied by works around the theme of "autodestrucción", Cruzvillegas explained that through the autodestrucción works he "wanted to show how "Internationalism" or "Style" is something that is to be appropriated, customized, modified, adapted and even destroyed, according to specific, local, individual, subjective needs."[11]
Notable exhibitions[edit]
Cruzvillegas has shown his work in single and group exhibitions in a number of galleries across Europe, South America and the United States. In 1994, his work was shown in the Fifth Havana Biennial; in 2002 in the XXV São Paulo Biennial; in 2003 in the Fiftieth Venice Biennale; in 2005 in the 1st Torino Triennale; in 2008 in the Bienal de Cali, in Colombia; in the Tenth Havana Biennial, and the Seventh Bienal do Mercosul in Portoalegre. His work has been shown at the New Museum, New York and at Tate Modern in London. Cruzvillegas participated in ROUNDTABLE: The 9th Gwangju Biennale, which took place September to November 2012 in Gwangju, Korea. In August 2012, it was announced that Cruzvillegas had won the Fifth Annual Yanghyun Prize [12] In 2014, he was the subject of a joint exhibition at both the Colección Júmex and the Amparo Museum.[13]
In 2015, Cruzvillegas accepted the Tate Modern Turbine Hall commission.
Reception and influences[edit]
For the 2002 São Paulo Biennial, Cruzvillegas wrote: "However art makes itself evident, it shall remain, above all, raw source material in all its natural, unstable, physical, chaotic and crystalline states: solid, liquid, colloidal and gaseous. It is the joy of energy."[14] Reviewing Cruzvillegas' 2003 show for the New York Times, Holland Cotter wrote, "In all Mr. Cruzvillegas's work, little is stated but much is said".[15]
In a monograph on Cruzvillegas' work in Frieze magazine in 2006, Tom Morton discusses an untitled work from 1993 which recalls Marcel Duchamp's 1913 Bicycle Wheel, though the spokes have been replaced "by a circular panel on which his father, now an academic, once painted a bouquet of red carnations". Morton states, "by bringing the work of these two men together Cruzvillegas not only expands the notion of 'influence' so that it might include the micro-stuff of specific domestic context alongside the macro-stuff of art history, but also casts into doubt the purity of the ready-made – which is to say, its inconsequentiality, its mute object-hood."[16]
Chris Sharp, writing in Art Review in January 2013, wrote: "his works are often united by an identifiable formal sensibility, whose predominantly found-object or poor-material aesthetic influence is as indebted to Robert Rauschenberg, David Hammons and Jimmie Durham as it is to Gabriel Orozco. The difference between them and Cruzvillegas, however, is the highly personal, specific and inherently protean programme to which his cultural and material universe adheres." [17]
Discussing his works, Niamh Coglan, writing for Aesthetica Magazine in February 2013, notes that "Works such as Aeropuerto Alterno (2002), A.C. Mobile (2008) or Sin Título / Untitled (1999), which directly references Duchamp's Bicycle Wheel (1913), exhibit a strong Duchampian element, not just for their aesthetic form but for appropriative elements", and goes on to state "Cruzvillegas does with material what Marcel Broodthaers and René Magritte did with words and linguistics".[18] Similarly, Gareth Harris, writing in The Art Newspaper in January 2014, notes: "With his vast range of dynamic assemblage sculptures meticulously built from found objects, the Mexican artist Abraham Cruzvillegas has been dubbed the 21st-century equivalent of Marcel Duchamp." [19]
In 2014, Cruzvillegas was profiled (with Tania Bruguera and Wolfgang Laib) in the third episode ("Legacy") of the seventh season of the PBS contemporary art programme Art:21 - Art in the 21st Century.
