Stationery, or other printable media, is encoded with a digital watermark. The watermark is not conspicuous to a human observer of the media, yet conveys plural bits of auxiliary information when optically scanned and digitally processed. The watermark can be formed by ink-jet printing, or otherwise. The encoded information can be used for various purposes, including authenticating the document as an original, linking to associated on-line resources, and distinguishing seemingly-identical versions of the same document (document serialization).
1. A substrate useful in forming a printed object, characterized in that the substrate has been marked to encode a steganographic digital watermark pattern thereon that conveys plural bits of digital information, said marking not being apparent to a human observer of the printed object, said steganographic pattern being detectable by visible-light scanning of the printed object to yield data from which the plural bits of digital information can be recovered, wherein said plural bits of digital information correspond to the digital watermark pattern in accordance with an algorithmic transformation, and the marking comprises a speckling of ink dots.

Claims directed to blank paper media have earlier issued to the present assignee in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,850,481, 5,822,436, and 6,111,954, and 6,438,231.
The present invention relates to steganographic encoding of substrates—such as blank paper, wherein the encoding is not apparent or conspicuous to human observers, yet is detectable by visible light scanning of the media.
In a great variety of applications, it is desirable for documents and other substrates to convey digital information.
Printed bar codes are one way of encoding digital data on documents, but bar codes are unsuited for many applications due to aesthetics, etc. Magnetic stripes can be used in some circumstances, but again the stripe is conspicuous, and reading the stripe requires a reader device that is not generally available. Radio frequency ID (RFID) is another technology that is sometimes used, but the cost is prohibitive for most applications, and specialized readers are again required.
For those situations in which the marking needs to be both inconspicuous and low cost, digital watermarking offers a promising alternative. Digital watermarking involves making subtle changes to a substrate's appearance (e.g., by ink speckling, texturing, background printing, or other techniques detailed in the literature)—changes that generally pass unnoticed by human viewers but that can be sensed by optical techniques (e.g., webcams, scanners, digital cameras) and decoded by computer processing of the resulting image data to extract the encoded information. Application Ser. No. 09/503,881 (now U.S. Pat. No. 6,614,914) details illustrative watermark encoding/decoding technology. A great number of other techniques are known to artisans in the field, and can be alternatively used. (The following specification commonly uses the term "watermarking" as shorthand for "digital watermarking." This steganographic form of digital data encoding is different than the paper watermarks that have, for centuries, been used in certain documents.)
The present assignee has filed many patent applications that have dealt with digital watermarking of paper and other substrates. The present application serves to compile these various works into a consolidated filing.
Application Ser. No. 09/640,806 (now U.S. Pat. No. 6,438,231), with priority back to application Ser. No. 08/215,289, filed Mar. 17, 1994 (through intervening U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,822,436 and 6,111,954) teaches that blank photographic paper and photographic film can be pre-processed—before exposure—to encode digital watermark information. When the paper/film is thereafter developed, the encoded information permeates the exposed image. That application also discusses substrate texturing as a way of effecting digital watermarking.
Application Ser. No. 09/127,502 (now U.S. Pat. No. 6,345,104) teaches how a watermark pattern can be formed in the background of a printed document, such as by speckling small droplets of ink, or printing a mesh or weave of very thin lines. Ink-jet, intaglio, offset litho, letterpress, xerography, and other printing processes can be used. Such printing can be used to impart a tint to paper while simultaneously encoding auxiliary data (the watermark payload). Watermark encoding by texturing, such as by use of embossing pressure rollers or intaglio plates, is also discussed. Such processes can be performed by the end-user of the paper, or earlier, e.g., by a paper manufacturer. Moreover, they can be applied to the base substrate, or to a laminate layer (which may be clear) that is applied to the base substrate. The background patterning can encode both the auxiliary data payload, and calibration/orientation information that helps the decoder determine (and compensate for) rotation or scaling of the scan data prior to decoding. The encoding can extend across the entire document/substrate, or can be restricted to certain areas.
Application Ser. No. 09/562,524 (now U.S. Pat. No. 6,724,912) particularly considers watermarking of laminate layers and synthetic substrates by techniques including opacification, laser ablation and cutting, and gravure printing. This application also considers how a single sheet of blank media can be encoded to convey different watermarks in different regions.
Application Ser. No. 09/562,516 details a variety of techniques for digitally encoding blank media, including printing watermark patterns with inks whose spectral response extends into UV or IR, and printing with combinations of inks. This application also recognizes that the selection of inks can be tailored to the spectra of expected illumination sources.
Application Ser. No. 09/553,112 details how particular line patterns can be designed to encode desired digital watermark information on documents and substrates. According to one method, a watermark tile is first defined—specifying luminance values in different regions. Lines are then formed between different areas in accordance with the values in the watermark tile.
Application Ser. Nos. 09/571,422 and 09/633,587 detail how a printed document, such as a business card, greeting card, product packaging, postal mail, catalog, magazine, credit card, office document, driver's license, book jacket, event ticket, etc., can be encoded with a digital watermark that corresponds to an electronic address. When presented to an imaging system, such as a webcam-equipped computer or other device, the resulting image data is processed to decode the watermark. The device then establishes a link to the electronic address in order to provide the user with additional information or content related to the original document, or to trigger an associated action. (The electronic address can be literally encoded in the watermark. More commonly, however, the watermark encodes an identifier. After detection, the decoding device uses this identifier to access a data structure, such as a remote database, to obtain a corresponding address.) These applications also contemplate that the encoding can be applied to blank media, such as blank magazine paper stock, and blank Post-It brand adhesive note pages. After end use by a consumer, the encoding persists, permitting linking or other watermark-based functionality.
Application Ser. No. 09/631,409 expands on the foregoing—particularly considering systems that link from invoices, bank statements and checks, and other account paperwork to associated on-line resources. By such arrangements, consumers can review billing history, make electronic payments, correspond with the banking or commercial institution, print completed checks, etc.
Application Ser. No. 09/498,223 (now U.S. Pat. No. 6,574,350) and Ser. No. 09/433,104 (now U.S. Pat. No. 6,636,615) detail "fragile" digital watermarks, i.e., watermarks that are designed to be lost, or to degrade in a predictable manner, when subject to certain forms of processing (e.g., scanning and printing, or photocopying). A watermark may be made fragile in numerous ways. One form of fragility relies on low watermark amplitude. That is, the strength of the watermark is only marginally above the minimum needed for detection. If any significant fraction of the signal is lost, as typically occurs in photocopying operations, the watermark becomes unreadable. Another form of fragility relies on the watermark's frequency spectrum. High frequencies are typically attenuated in the various sampling operations associated with digital scanning and printing. Even a high amplitude watermark signal can be significantly impaired, and rendered unreadable, by such photocopying operations. Fragile watermarks can be combined with more traditional, "robust" watermarks within a single document. The former serves to authenticate the document as an original. The latter serves to tag the document with a persistent set of auxiliary data (which can be used for any of the purposes for which watermarks are used).
Application Ser. No. 09/689,289 details particular applications of document watermarking in fields relating to stationary, postal mail and postage. Exemplary applications include document serialization, authentication, copy-control, envelope franking, internet linking, encoding of delivery address information, etc. Again, watermarking of blank printing stock is contemplated. Large lots of documents can be watermarked with the same data payload, or each sheet can convey a unique watermark payload. Corporate stationary can be marked with a fragile watermark to permit a genuine document to be distinguished from a photocopy or other reproduction.
Application Ser. No. 09/619,264 details that printers (including fax machines, photocopiers, etc.) can include optical sensors and decode watermark information from blank paper stock. This watermark can signal to the printer the particular type of paper about to be printed (e.g., glossy photo stock, corporate letterhead, etc.). The printer can then tailor its printing attributes in accordance with the particular paper being printed. The substrate watermark can be implemented using a variety of techniques, including clear inking.
Application Ser. No. 09/629,401 (now U.S. Pat. No. 6,522,770) details how office documents, such as printed spreadsheets, can include a background (or other) watermark pattern. When presented to a webcam, or other such device, an associated computer can decode the watermark and, from this information, identify where the document is stored. The document can then be loaded from such storage, and a corresponding program launched to permit on-screen review or editing. Meta-data associated with the document can also be recalled by reference to the watermark. The encoding of the watermark in the printed output can be effected transparently to the user, such as by the application program (Excel), by printer driver software, or by the printer itself.
Application Ser. No. 09/803,167, filed Mar. 9, 2001 (now published as US 20020126871) details how a substrate can be treated so that, when printed with unwatermarked text or imagery, the resulting document will be watermarked. This can be done, e.g., by locally tailoring the ink absorption attributes of different regions on the page, such as by a finely patterned waxy coating.
In accordance with one aspect, an embodiment of the invention is a substrate to which final user printing can later be applied to yield a final printed object. The substrate is characterized by having been processed prior to final user printing to yield a steganographic digital watermark pattern thereon. This pattern does not impair subsequent use of the substrate, yet conveys plural bits of digital information. The presence of such information is not apparent to a human observer of the substrate, but can be detected by visible-light scanning of the substrate to yield data from which the plural bit information can be recovered.
The steganographic digital watermark pattern can be formed by ink, which may be, e.g., speckled across at least part of the substrate. Or the ink can form a mesh of thin lines. (For example, the mesh can comprise a single pattern that is tiled across the substrate, with the pattern being arranged so that lines located at adjoining tile edges meet without discontinuity.) Such inking can serve to impart a colored tint to the substrate, and may be applied by known inkjet printing processes.
The watermark pattern may also be defined by generating a tile specifying one of N luminance values for each of plural different areas, consolidating the N values down to M (where M<N), and then forming lines between such areas in response to the consolidated luminance values. The user may specify line criteria to be used, including whether the lines are straight or curved, and if curved parameters therefor.
The ink used in forming the watermark pattern can be of known types, including clear. The ink may be chosen to optimize watermark detection in the presence of expected illumination spectra, e.g., the illumination cast by a computer monitor.
In other embodiments the steganographic digital watermark pattern can be formed by texturing the substrate (e.g., by force of pressure, by embossing, by an intaglio plate, etc.).
In still other embodiments, the substrate can be processed to locally change its ink absorption ability.
In yet other embodiments, the substrate can include a photographic emulsion, and the watermark pattern can be formed by exposing the emulsion with a pattern (e.g., a noise-like pattern) and thereafter developing the emulsion to make the pattern detectable.
The pattern can be formed on the substrate prior to delivery of the substrate to an end user, e.g., by a producer or supplier of the substrate. Alternatively, the pattern can be formed on the substrate after such delivery.
In some embodiments, the digital watermark pattern may degrade when photocopied, so that the printed object can be distinguished from a photocopy. Such embodiments may also include a second digital watermark pattern—one that is robust against photocopying.
Depending on application, the digital watermark pattern may extend across an entire face of the substrate, or be restricted to certain areas. Likewise, only one side of the substrate—or both—can include watermark patterns. In substrates with laminate construction, the digital watermark pattern may be manifested in a laminate layer. In some embodiments, different regions of the substrate can convey different watermark payloads.
The plural bits of digital information represented by the watermark pattern can comprise an identifier that serves to convey information indicative of an electronic address. More particularly, the identifier can comprise a pointer into a remote data structure, with the remote data structure storing an electronic address corresponding to the substrate.
In some embodiments, the watermark pattern on the substrate may also convey a steganographic orientation signal.
To permit a document printed on such a substrate to be uniquely identified from other—seemingly identical—printed documents, the plural bits of digital information represented by the watermark can comprise serialization information. Alternatively, the digital information can serve to identify the type of substrate to a printer, so that the printer can tailor print parameters accordingly.
The watermark pattern may be formed on a side of the substrate opposite that to which final end-user printing is later applied.
Secret knowledge may be required to decode the plural bits of digital information from the substrate. Thus, a first end user cannot decode information encoded on a substrate of a second end user, and vice versa.
The substrate can take different forms, including an envelope, stationery, etc. The substrate can also comprise printing stock, such as for a security document (e.g., a banknote) or for newspapers and magazines. Or the substrate can comprise a printed check.
The summaries of the priority applications noted earlier are necessarily abbreviated and incomplete; the reader is referred to the cited applications for their full disclosures. Moreover, the disclosures discussed in connection with one application or technology may have antecedents in earlier applications. Again, the reader is referred to the cited applications.
Certain of the cited applications note that document identification technologies other than digital watermarking (e.g., bar codes, RFIDs, etc.) can be used in certain circumstances.
The above-referenced patents and patent applications, together with application Ser. Nos. 09/553,112, filed Apr. 20, 2000, 11/051,442, filed Jul. 19, 2000, and 09/631,409, filed Aug. 3, 2000 (now all abandoned, but respectively included as Appendices A, C and D in allowed application Ser. No. 11/051,442), and Ser. No. 09/803,167, filed Mar. 9, 2001 (now published as US 20020126871), are incorporated herein as if set forth in their entireties.
In view of the wide variety of embodiments to which the principles and features discussed above can be applied, it should be apparent that the detailed embodiments are illustrative only and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention. Rather, we claim as our invention all such modifications as may come within the scope and spirit of the following claims and equivalents thereof.

The ministry of human resource development has constituted a committee under the chairmanship of Hari Gautam for the "review of University Grants Commission for its restructuring and strengthening to address the challenges of higher education". The government's order shows that as many as 14 terms of reference (ToRs) have been identified for the committee. A cursory glance at them indicates that the UGC is unable to fulfil its mandate to promote, coordinate and maintain standards of university education, or to disburse funds to eligible institutions. This is probably due to the internal inefficiency of the UGC.
The ToRs, however, do not take note of external factors, particularly the legal handles through which the functioning of the UGC is tampered with by the HRD ministry. The problems that are not included in the ToRs but are responsible for the ineffective functioning of the UGC are as follows. First, the UGC is the only national commission which functions with part-time, non-executive members (10), most of whom are serving vice chancellors or college principals, funded and regulated by the UGC themselves.
The government does not feel it necessary to appoint full-time experts to guide and manage the vast education system. Nor does it see any conflict of interest in appointing serving heads of educational institutions as members. Such an organisational structure was deliberately created and is being retained by the Central government. In effect, the UGC functions as a subordinate office of the HRD ministry, toeing the Centre's line.
Second, under the UGC Act, the HRD ministry has the power to declare any institution a "deemed to be university" (DU). In exercise of this power, as many as 130 universities, largely under private management, have been established. Sensing the preferences of successive governments, the UGC from time to time gives the "desirable" advice, whenever sought by the ministry, to create such institutions. Of late, the credibility of a few DUs has been questioned. The Tandon Committee, which scrutinised the performance of DUs at the behest of the HRD ministry, recommended the closure of at least one-third of them (44). But this has not been done, mainly because of a lack of political courage.
Education is a subject on the concurrent list. Since 2009-10, the Centre has not been entertaining proposals for establishing DUs. Most state governments have encouraged the establishment of private universities and colleges as profitable ventures to reduce their burden to support higher education.
Business houses and industrialists have established their own colleges and universities with the support of political parties in power. Over 80 per cent of universities and colleges are under private management and over 60 per cent of students study at these institutions. Public universities are hardly effectively operationalised in terms of infrastructure or staff, which is why none …continued »

To achieve high gain in an Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) power plant, driver beams must hit direct drive targets with ±20 m accuracy. For driver beams to arrive at the target with sufficient simultaneity, the targets must be placed to ±5 mm from chamber center. Better placement accuracy simplifies driver beam steering by reducing the distance that steering mirrors must reposition the beam aim point in the last few ms. Current best target placement experimental accuracy is 0.22 mrad standard deviation which corresponds to 3 mm at 13 m. A factor of two improvement is required to achieve 3 accuracy in ±5 mm, and even greater accuracy is desired.General Atomics has recently embarked on a program to improve target placement accuracy through electrostatic steering. Preliminary experiments have improved accuracy of falling charged spheres. We optically track the motion, and feed back appropriate voltage to steering electrodes. A steering algorithm was prepared to steer targets with placement accuracy limited primarily by rate and accuracy of target tracking. Substantial accuracy improvement is expected with higher-frequency tracking and voltage amplification equipment. The results will be reported.

If you're looking for a good rollicking novel about the intersection of the analog and the digital, I suggest you grab a copy of "Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore." It doesn't matter what type of copy you grab – an analog copy from Barnes & Noble or a digital copy from iBookstore — just go read it. It's one of my favorite books from last year.
But as much as I liked "Mr. Penumbra," I admit that I wouldn't have read it if I hadn't liked a previous work by the book's author. The author is Robin Sloan, a self-styled media inventor who used to work at Twitter. And his previous work in question is something called Fish.
Nope, Fish is not an earlier book by Sloan. Rather, it's a tap essay.
What's a tap essay? According to Sloan, a tap essay is a short piece of writing that makes its case about a certain subject by "unfurling its argument tap by tap, using bold typography, bright color, and a few surprises."
Also, a tap essay is, by nature, an iOS app.
By all accounts, Sloan's Fish is the first ever tap essay, and it's available in the App Store as an app optimized for iPhone and iPod touch.
It also happens to be free. So, you can download it now, read it, and see if you agree with what it has to say about "the difference between liking something on the Internet and loving something on the Internet."
And if you find the tappable format to your liking, regardless of whether you agree with Fish's argument or not, you can read more tap essays using an app called Tapestry.
As a matter of fact, apart from tap essays, tappable stories are equally accessible through Tapestry. But for simplicity's sake, we shall hereafter refer to both tap essays and tappable stories using the latter term.
Tapestry features tappable stories from Sloan and other storytellers. Aside from "Fish," Sloan's "The Italics" is included in the app.
There's also a funny piece written by The Oatmeal's Matthew Inman, titled (take a deep breath) "Why Nikola Tesla Was The Greatest Geek Who Ever Lived." And then there's Lauren Leto's (take a deeper breath) "Why Ernest Hemingway Once Told John Updike Literary New York Is A Bottle Of Tapeworms Trying To Feed On Each Other."
There are plenty more tappable stories available in the app, with new ones released every now and then.
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 4.3 or later, Tapestry is available in the App Store for free. Download it now and let us know what your favorite tappable story is.
By the way, if you'd like to create your own tappable story and maybe have it featured in Tapestry, just go to the Tapestry website and upload your piece.
As always, if you have suggestions for Shelf Control, please feel free to email me at [email protected] or simply leave a comment below.

Bruno Kirby, 1949 - 2006.Bruno Kirby, a veteran character actor known for playing the best friend in two of Billy Crystal's biggest comedies When Harry Met Sally and City Slickers, has died. He was 57. Jeremiah Marquez for the AP. [M]y favorite Kirby performance, I must admit, is one of his more obscure credits, a 1993 episode of the noirish Showtime cable series Fallen Angels. In "I'll Be Waiting," adapted by scripter C Gaby Mitchell from a short story by Raymond Chandler, he was shrewdly cast against type (by director Tom Hanks) as a seemingly stolid hotel detective who is underestimated by just about everybody... "When I was casting this role," Hanks told me years later, "I wanted someone who looked like he was a shoe salesman - but who could break your thumbs if he had to." Joe Leydon. Updated through 8/19. [I]t's his film work that most people, including myself will recall. From his appearance as one of the students in the supremely goofy and dated The Harrad Experiment in 1973 to his role as the young Clemenza opposite Robert DeNiro's young Vito Corleone in The Godfather Part II. [...] For me, my favorite film role of Kirby's is as Marlon Brando's nephew in the great comedy The Freshman, so in a way you can say Kirby played opposite both Vito Corleones. Edward Copeland. Update, 8/17: An appreciation from Barbara Serrano in the Los Angeles Times, where Dennis McLellan writes the paper's obit. Update, 8/19: A 1990 interview on Fresh Air.

I met Bruno in NYC in 1966 when I visited from Pittsburgh and he and his friend Tony were ushers in Radio City Music Hall. We were in high school. We exchanged phone numbers and addresses and after several months of correspondence, a friend and I went back to NYC one weekend and spent a most innocent and most memorable weekend in NYC with Bruce and friend. The met us at the airport in pouring rain, we road the bus to the City, we spent Friday evening in the fascinating East Village, Saturday seeing the rest of town, went to dinner at the Plaza 9 Room where Bruce Kirby Sr. worked at that time. Bruce told stories, we laughed alot, and talked and talked. We stayed out in the city all night and capped off the weekend by watching the sun rise while riding the Ferry. One of my most poiniant memories is Bruce playing his guitar and singing Yesterday before we left to go back to Pittsburgh early Sunday morning. I never saw Bruce again. We wrote for some months, but I lost track of him until I began to see him on screen and TV.

Editorial welcomes commitment from Manhattan District Atty Cyrus Vance Jr to use $35 million in civil forfeiture assets to help other jurisdictions reduce their backlogs of untested rape kits; contends Vance's decision admirably highlights dithering by cities, states and federal government on issue, but raises question of whether it is appropriate to use New York City assets to help meet out-of-state law enforcement needs.

text: Description Bitdefender Small Office Security with the on-premises console is security software that is managed in an organization's own infrastructure rather than in the cloud. It protects networked laptops, desktops, servers, and mobile devices from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, adware, rootkits, and other threats. This donation provides a one-year Small Office Security subscription for up to 10 users and two servers. The product will cease to function entirely after one year unless the subscription is renewed. Benefits for Organizations If you have network administration experience, you can use Bitdefender Small Office Security to reduce resource costs and centrally manage protection for your organization's network. Major Capabilities On-premises management: The console, or Control Center, is deployed as an appliance that runs in a virtualized environment. Control Center provides full visibility into the organization's overall security posture, insight into global security threats, and control over its security services. Integration with the existing system management and monitoring systems simplifies automatically applying protection to unmanaged desktops and servers. Antivirus and antispyware: Security scanners can detect and clean viruses and quarantine viruses, spyware, adware, Trojans, and rootkits on all endpoints and servers. Mobile device protection: Bitdefender apps downloaded from manufacturers' official app stores extend protection to iPhones, iPads, and Android devices. Desktop firewall: The firewall prevents unauthorized users from accessing users' computers when roaming or working remotely using unsecured networks. Configuration settings include Internet blocking and access by IP address, application, port, or protocol to protect against inbound and outbound threats. Behavior-based protection: Security for Endpoints stops emerging threats by analyzing the behavior of a given program or process in a virtual environment before it is executed. If it is deemed safe to run, Bitdefender continues to analyze the process while it's running to identify likely threats that have not yet been reported. Additional Users If your organization requires more than 10 users on a single network, TechSoup also offers Small Office Security for 25 users and 50 users. If your organization requires more than 50 users on a single network, please contact Bitdefender directly. Choose Carefully The administrative fee for this product is not refundable, and the product cannot be exchanged. Obtaining This Product When TechSoup approves your donation request, we will send a message to your organization email address with instructions for obtaining and activating this product.

iPhone Carabiner Clip
Posted on December 16, 2011 by saya
Aha, iPhone accessories again. This time it is a sturdy clip that can attach onto your iPhones so as to allow you to hang your mobiles on bags or necks. Certainly it's much stronger than a cellphone clipping cord, because the gadget is screwed directly into your phone instead of being fastened onto it. Never worry about that the clip may result in some inconvenience, as the gadget can let you charge phones without removing it.

5 Things You Can Do On Nitrous.IO That You Might Not Know
Sometimes here at Nitrous.IO, we get so heads down on building new features and functionality for developers that we forget to let people know that we've built them. Here are five things you can do on Nitrous.IO today that you probably think you can't.
5. Use vim
You're not hardcore unless you use vim or so they say. Well at Nitrous.IO, if you want to be hardcore we got your back. Just type
vim in the console and away you go with with colors and even split screen goodness.
PS: You can also use emacs.
Ah ha, so I just have to maximize the terminal window and vim works. Awesome. /cc @NitrousIO— Steve Klabnik (@steveklabnik) November 27, 2013
4. Deploy from Nitrous to hosting services such as Google App Engine, Heroku, and Azure.
Deploying to your production host is simple from the Nitrous.IO Console. We have detailed instruction for popular deployment targets on our help site. If there is a particular one that you feel we should include please send us a note.
3. Add a data store like Postgresql, Redis, Memcached for your project
As you start to build projects of substance you will want to use datastore. Autoparts, Nitrous.IO's package manager allows you to install the datastores that you need for your project.
You can get a full list of the supproted data stores by typing
parts search and install your selected data store with
parts install <name>
parts install mongodb to install mongo on your current box.
Alternately if you use a cloud storage provider such as MongoHQ or RedisCloud you can always use that with Nitrous.IO.
2. Code in Lua || Rust || Pascal || Java*
While we don't have a custom environment for these languages, you can use the
autoparts feature discussed above to install these languages for your box.
Simply type
parts search <name> for the language of your choice and install it with
parts install
For Example if I wanted to install rust :
parts search rust followed by
parts install rust
If your favorite language is not on the list - checkout how to make an autopart and submit a pull request.
JAVA (Experimental)
Java is not officially supported on Nitrous.IO as we haven't fleshed out all the details of a Java webapp workflow. However, as some users have found out each Nitrous.IO Box has a Java VM and Java Compiler built-in. So, if you want to push the edge, feel free to pull in your code in from your favorite github Java repo and give it a whirl.
We would love your feedback on successes and issues.
1. Improved Previews: Port 3000 Forwarding and Basic Auth
And the #1 - Based on your feedback we've made changes to the way the Preview works.
First, we now forward port 3000 to Port 80 so that you can preview your applications from even behind corporate firewalls. (Be sure to check out this link if you are having trouble connecting to the web IDE from behind a firewall.)
You can also control who has access to your previews with Basic Authentication. Simply click on Set Password... from the Preview Menu to set a username and password for your preview links.
Share your projects with clients without having to make it available to the whole world.
Feel free to tweet us a link too - We love seeing how talented developers are using our platform.

Basil – Restaurant Review
4 comments | Leave Comment
I am in love.
Yes I know, again.
Sometimes I just can't help myself. In this case I actually feel like I didn't have a choice. The restaurant chose me.
Tamar and I were wrapping up a late (read: very late, missed the kids' bedtime kinda late) night at the office in BP- that's Boro Park – in BK – that's Brooklyn.
So we decide to reward ourselves for a hard day's work that goes so way beyond the 9 to 5 it's scary, and on a rainy dark night we drove across BK (thinking it would take us 5 minutes because we ain't from these parts) and 40 minutes later (admittedly most of the time was spent looking for parking) we arrived at Basil, the then new restaurant in Crown Heights.
Now, I love Tamar too. Because Hubby will never accompany me to a milchig restaurant (why would he when he can eat a steak the size of my head) so I have to rely on true friends like Tamar to join me on what I like to call…research.
We ate some nice apps like Polenta Fries with Sun-dried Tomato Caper Mayo, great pastas like Cannelloni with Mushrooms, Pencil Asparagus and Parmesan Cream and great desserts like Lavender Dusted Funnel Cake with Basil Ice Cream. And yes you read right we ordered lots to share. And, yes, that funnel cake was like a gourmet retro throwback to my youth. Those hot summer days at the theme park watching the guy with the funny hat make and dust the funnel cake with confectioner's sugar. And you know how nothing can be as good as your memory? Well, this grown-up version was better.
But, the Pièce de résistance…
The reason to travel back there even if takes 4 hours in the rain and you can't find parking so you have to eat in the car…
Their wood oven pizza.
More specifically…
The Bosc Pear & Blue Cheese with Arugula Pizza
Now when I tell you I dream about this pizza I do not lie. When I tell you it inspired a recipe in my new cookbook I do not lie. When I tell you that in my over 3 decades on this earth it may be one of the single most exquisite things I have eaten, I do not lie. The crust is thin, the pear slices paper thin, the blue cheese with just the right balance of cream and tang the piled high peppery arugula so fresh I am convinced they ripped it from the ground just before serving me.
Next time, though, as much as I love Tamar, I don't want to share my pizza.

Read about our Ebola Crisis Appeal, and our work in areas affected by Ebola
In November 2012, Sierra Leone successfully held free, fair and transparent elections, widely hailed as a landmark moment in the nation's journey towards democracy.
However, over a decade after Sierra Leone emerged from a brutal civil war, it still faces huge challenges in lifting people out of poverty; more than 60% of the people still live below the poverty line.
Despite Sierra Leone's move towards democracy, the political landscape remains divided along south-eastern and north-western regional lines.
There has however, been some progress in opening up political space for citizens to engage in their own development. There has also been some success in the fight against corruption and government accountability.
More than 70% of the population – mainly women – depend on the land for their livelihoods. The rush for farmland by foreign investors engaged in industrial-scale plantation agriculture in Sierra Leone has increased poverty and food shortages among communities who have lost their access to land.
Sierra Leone is a patriarchal society in which women are disadvantaged and under-represented in both the traditional and formal governance systems. Cultural norms and practices discriminate against women, hampering their access to power and resources.
Our vision in Sierra Leone
Our vision is of a Sierra Leone where poor and marginalised women and men have equal access to resources and services and thrive within a responsible state.
We understand that poor and marginalised people have the solutions to their own problems. In all our work, we strive to ensure equality for all and to give people the chance to participate in their own development.

Nokia N8 previewed before announcement, shown no love
The Nokia's first Symbian^3 device and next smartphone flagship N8 just got its first short preview. The handset is now confirmed to capture 720p video and 12 megapixel stills, but apparently the new UI wasn't much to the liking of the reviewer.
While there are no samples to prove it, the image quality of the still camera is said to be similar to the Sony Ericsson Satio 12 megapixel shooter. Which combined with the 720p video recording and the HDMI port doesn't sound like too bad a package to us, but apparently the author believes this is the device that might single-handedly take down Nokia.
Focusing on the HDMI port and the 12MP camera
The user interface improvements also fail to impress and Symbian^3 feels more like evolution rather than a much needed revolution for the platform's touch UI. The Nokia N8 is apparently running fast but once its memory gets filled up it starts to lag.
Those are of course impressions based on an early pre-release sample of the Nokia N8 and we're likely to see improvements before the handset hits the shelves in the second half of the year.

As you may or may not know, I spend a good portion of my days helping eager students apply to college and graduate school through my business, Just Start Storytelling. More often than not, my graduate applicants apply to science, business or technical programs because, you know, there are actual jobs available in the those industries. I am amazed on a regular basis at how many interesting niche programs there are, and find myself wishing I could apply too.
However, as someone who has made extensive study both of the Sciences and of the Humanities, sometimes I'm a little concerned that more Liberal Arts grads aren't finding their way into graduate degrees. Even more worrisome is the perception in the mass media that a Liberal Arts degree will land you back in your parents' basement, working fast food jobs until you're 50 just to pay for mom and dad's heating bills. As someone who spent a long time searching for her own post-collegiate career path, I can tell you that this is absolutely false. In fact, if you're willing to invent your own job, there is a world of job possibilities out there for any hardworking Liberal Arts grad. You just have to know how to do one thing: mix and match adjectives and nouns. That's right, it's Invent Your Career Via Random Word Generator!
From "Professional Hemp Baker" to "Extraordinary Leaf Pruner" and everything in between, there are many excellent options. Don't believe me? Just take a look at my top 5 picks below. (To make this read extra fun, see if you can guess which ones I actually encountered when I was first began my desperate search for employment so many years ago).
So you see, all you have to do is shove a few adjectives together and you're good to go! Don't you feel so much better? I know I sure do! But seriously folks, I actually do believe you're well-qualified to do so many jobs with a liberal arts degree, as long as you get a little inventive. I detail a few of these paths for writers in this old post up on Write By Night, but there is so much more you can do than just that. So if you're seeking to apply those skills somewhere, don't give up hope!
P.S. Have you guessed which job (other than the Fungineer one, because that's obvious), I actually encountered in my hunt post-grad school? Give it a guess in the comments below!

Starkville Police Department officials are urging local residents to be prepared for the already heavier traffic on local streets and take necessary safety precautions now that local public and private schools have started classes and Mississippi State University students return to begin a new academic year.
"Each year at this time, the community sees an increase in population as our university students return for a new year, and there is an accompanying increase in activity," said Police Chief David Lindley.
"The return of our students has an effect on traffic movement, parking, the number of traffic violations and property crimes, and it presents a challenge to us to be able to provide public safety."
With that in mind, police officials are asking students and full-time city residents to exercise caution to help keep significant traffic-related problems from developing and minimize crime, Lindley said.
"This time of year, we see an increase in speeding on our streets, an increase in alcohol-related violations and an increase in petty thefts and burglaries, particularly in more student-populated areas such as apartment complexes," Lindley said.
Traffic flow heavy
With the influx of more than 18,000 university students over the next several days — coupled with classes beginning for local schools — traffic has already much more congested on major city streets, particularly U.S. 82, Highway 12, Louisville Street, South Montgomery Street and Jackson Street, Lindley said.
Since many students walk to school, motorists must take extra care to watch for pedestrians, he said.
With the increased traffic, Lindley said he is encouraging residents and students to plan ahead when driving to help prevent accidents and unnecessary traffic jams, as well as personal frustration, Lindley said.
Highway 12, in particular, sees significant traffic congestion between 7 and 9 a.m., during the lunchtime hours and from 3:30 to 6 p.m., Lindley said.
"Traffic is only going to increase as our MSU students return and the university goes into session for the fall semester. With our students especially, it helps to leave earlier if they are unfamiliar with routes of travel or parking availability. With our residents, leaving earlier can help them arrive on time at their destination if the traffic is heavy," Lindley said. "Prior planning makes things run a lot smoother and helps us avoid having to work traffic accidents or give speeding tickets."
Both residents and MSU students are encouraged to avoid areas where street construction is occurring during peak traffic hours in the morning and evening, he said. Certain streets around the city's public and non-public schools will also see increased traffic as classes begin later this week, so congestion is highly likely in many areas, Lindley said.
"Both Highway 12 and Highway 182, in particular, are proving to be a real challenge to people who are trying to arrive some place on time," Lindley said.
Avoiding thefts
With a heavy number of students and others moving into area apartment complexes and other rental properties, thefts and burglaries often spike this time of year, Lindley said.
"Unfortunately, there are people in our community who are more predatory on others this time of year, and they take advantage of those people who don't use proper precautions," Lindley said.
"Luckily, there is only a small percentage of the community who will take advantage of this situation by committing crimes, but they are inclined to do so in a target-rich environment."
A common problem involves students leaving personal property unattended while moving into a new apartment or home or while leaving for a meal or to grocery shop, Lindley said.
With local retailers seeing a boost in business from the returning students, residents are also at risk to become crime victims, particularly with auto burglaries, Lindley added.
"All items, whether being left in the car or a moving truck, need to be locked up safely if no one is to be around," Lindley said. "Keeping them out of plain view will also help."
Police officers are more than willing to assist students in times of need, particularly freshmen or transfer students who are new to Starkville, Lindley said.
"Many students are in a new environment for the first time without parental control. We try to be understanding of that, assist where we can and encourage them to use caution and common sense to adjust to their new situation," Lindley said.
"It's not uncommon for something tragic to happen this time of year — an alcohol-related crash, injuries, alcohol poisoning form over-consumption. We don't want that to happen. Using common sense will help."

British Organizations Laud Kim Il Sung's Feats in Liberating Korea
| Pyongyang, August 19 (KCNA) -- The Korean Friendship Association UK and other progressive organizations of Britain made public a joint statement on August 6 on the occasion of the 69th anniversary of Korea's liberation.
Korea was liberated from the outrageous Japanese imperialists' colonial rule on August 15, 1945 thanks to the anti-Japanese armed struggle organized by President Kim Il Sung, the sun of the nation and gifted strategist.
Under his guidance the Korean People's Revolutionary Army staged the armed struggle without state-backing home front in the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance, guided by the Juche idea and the Songun idea.
He resolutely rejected flunkeyism and independently waged the armed struggle by relying on the strength of the Korean people.
The victory in the anti-Japanese armed struggle proved in practice the truth of the Songun idea that national liberation can be achieved by the armed struggle only.
This victory greatly encouraged the peoples of the colonial countries in their struggle for national independence.
The shining victory in the anti-Japanese armed struggle helped the Korean people be liberated from the colonial rule of the ferocious Japanese imperialists and lead a new independent life, new hopeful life.
Now the Korean people are working hard to firmly protect the gains of the revolution, build a thriving socialist nation and achieve the reunification of the country under the ever-victorious Songun leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un who is successfully carrying forward the revolutionary cause of the President and leader Kim Jong Il.

Regal Cinema
233 High Street,
2 people favorited this theater
The Regal Cinema was built for A.E. Abrahams who already operated the large Regal Cinema at Marble Arch in London's West End and the Regal Cinema's at West Norwood and Edmonton (all now demolished).
The Regal Cinema, Uxbridge opened on 26th December 1931 screening the film "Reaching For the Moon" starring Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. and Bebe Daniels.
Seating was provided on a stadium style with the balcony being a raised area at the rear, rather than overhanging the rear stalls. The architect E. Norman Bailey designed a splendid example of 1930's Art Deco style. The facade has touches of Egyptian motifs in the decorative ceramic tiles that cover the building. Inside the auditorium the decoration is made up of deep wavy plaster troughs which hold the concealed lighting in the ceiling and a unique proscenium opening shaped like a Chinese half-moon. Intricate decorative panels in a Chinese streamline-deco style cover the organ grilles each side of the proscenium.
The Regal Cinema was fitted out with a Compton 2Manuals/6Ranks theatre organ, a cafe and a ballroom.
It was taken over by Union Cinemas from December 1935, and they were taken over by Associated British Cinemas(ABC) in October 1937 and they continued to operate it through the rest of its cinematic life.
The Regal Cinema closed on 4th November 1977 screening Julie Christie in "Demon Seed" and Ron Leibeman in "The Super Cops". The building was then given an immediate 'spot listing' and was Listed Grade II.
It stood empty for seven years until May 1984 when it was converted into Regal's Nightclub which opened on 5th July 1984. Being a Listed building (raised in November 2000 to Grade II* status) and due to a covenant imposed when it was built, all features were retained in the building, including the Compton organ. Sadly though, the stage area was bricked in and seperated from the auditorium and was converted into a gymnasium/health club. The connecting wires to the organ chambers were severed, so the organ is no longer able to be played and the console sits in the nightclub area, surrounded by empty beer bottles and crates.
In 1993 it became the Discotheque Royale, the interior was painted black/dark colours and because of the lighting gantry's installed for the disco/nightclub it was difficult to see the original decoration as originally intended. But it was all still there…….and it remains one of the most important cinema buildings to survive in the London area and the U.K.
In April 2007 a 3million GB pound renovation was completed and it re-opened under new a name Liquid Envy Nightclub. The Compton organ console is now protected inside a glass box and is on display.

Recently picked up series 1 of 70s UK police series The Professionals. A large portion of one episode, Look After Annie, was shot in the Regal Uxbridge at the end of November 1977, seemingly just a few weeks after it closed as a cinema. There are numerous interior shots of both the auditorium and dressing rooms, which is the setting of a political speech in the episode, as well as some exteriors to the rear of the building. Worth picking up the newly restored Blu-ray of this series just to see this splendid cinema before it was altered inside!

1 Northern View Circle #115
DeKalb, IL 60115
Phone: (815) 753-8439
Find NVC on Facebook
Thank you for your interest in living in Northern View Community! We are now accepting applications for the 2015-2016 academic year! To be eligible for Northern View Community, students must be 20+ years old, 2 full years beyond high school graduation, and/or have a dependent child/children.
Priority Placement for Graduate Students and Families:
Northern View is committed to providing convenient on-campus living for our Graduate students and students with families. Therefore, priority placement is provided for applicants who submit an application between now and January 30, 2015, who have been accepted to the NIU Graduate School, who submit a birth certificate as proof of having a dependent child/children, and/or submit a marriage certificate as proof of legal partnership.
Current residents will receive intent forms in November, for the following academic year, and will have first priority to stay in Northern View Community. Placement in the exact same apartment number/building may not be guaranteed depending on Graduate or family status. After current residents are placed, Graduate and Family Priority Applicants will be placed on a first-come, first-served basis, while space is available. After January 30th, any remaining apartments will be offered to non-priority applicants, on a first-come, first-served basis, while space is available.
To apply: Print the 2015-2016 application below and return to the Northern View Community Center Office in person, or by mail. All applications require a non-refundable, $25 application fee, check or money-order only, made out to: Northern Illinois University (unless currently living in NIU on-campus housing). If you plan to have additional occupants, you must also submit a copy of your dependent's birth certificate, and/or a copy of your marriage certificate and copy of your partner's state-issued photo ID at the time of application. When your application and application fee are received, you will be added to the waitlist and contacted as soon as an opening becomes available. If you are offered a contract, you will have 10 business days to accept and submit a $125 deposit fee, check or money order only (unless currently living in NIU on-campus housing).
Spring 2014
We are currently full for the 2014-2015 Academic year, but may have limited openings for Spring 2014. You are still welcome to submit an application for our waitlist, should any spaces become available. During the academic year we will continue to offer contracts to individuals on our waitlist if openings arise.
Buildings 3 and 5 are open to all NIU students who are at least 20+ years old or two full years beyond high school graduation. Students contract for one bedroom in a two-bedroom unit, they are typically placed with a random same-gender roommate, and these buildings do not accommodate dependents. Depending on interest, one of these buildings may be designated for graduate students only.
Northern View Community Buildings 2, 4, and 6, are known as the Family-style buildings and have one, two, and three-bedroom units available. Here residents contract for the entire apartment, they are responsible for finding their own roommates, and are able to have non-NIU student dependents live with them, such as children or spouses, so long as they provide a copy of their dependent's birth certificate and/or a copy of their marriage certificate and spouse's state-issued photo ID, and fill out the appropriate paperwork.
There are only 6 one-bedroom and 6 three-bedroom units in the community and the waitlist may be extensive at times. Be sure to indicate on your application the order of your preferences so we can best accommodate you if your first choice is not available.

Boeing has reached a milestone delivery in its 777-300ER programme, delivering the 300th aircraft to first-time customer Biman Bangaldesh on 21 October.
The airframer as of 30 September had recorded 543 orders for the 777-300ER from 37 customers. Boeing stated 27 customers currently operate the aircraft and 10 additional operators plan to accept delivery of their first 777-300ERS through 2014.
Approximately 35 percent of the 777-300ER was changed from earlier 777 models. Each wing was extended by 1.98m (6.5 ft) by adding raked wingtips, which reduce takeoff field length, increase climb performance and reduce fuel burn.
The body, wing, empennage and nose gear of the aircraft were strengthened and new main landing gear, wheels, tires and brakes were installed. New semi-levered landing gear permits takeoffs on shorter runways.
The struts and nacelles were modified to accommodate the significantly higher-thrust engines. The aircraft are powered exclusively by the General Electric GE90-115BL engine, producing 512kn (115,300 pounds) of thrust.

What exactly is an Extended Service Plan?
An extended service plan is generally an extension of your original manufacturer's warranty. Most manufacturers warranty their products to be free from defects for up to one year from the date of purchase. This warranty virtually guarantees you that if your newly purchased product fails, the manufacturer will protect you from the high costs of replacement parts and labor necessary to repair your product. Extended service plans lengthen your product's coverage for up to an additional 60 months (5 years) to insure you get years of performance satisfaction from your newly purchased product.
How is this different than the manufacturer's warranty?
A manufacturer's warranty usually offers limited coverage for a limited time, with parts and labor carrying separate lengths of coverage. For example, a common manufacturer warranty of a product might cover a consumer for one full year on parts defects but only 90 days on the high cost of labor involved to change those parts. Extended service plans provide comprehensive, long term, even length coverage. This means that should your product fail within your plans coverage time frame, both parts and labor costs are covered.
How do I buy an Extended Service Plan?
Extended Service Plans can be purchased along with your product online, or via our toll free number.
Can I renew my Consumer Priority Service extended service plan?
Yes, service plans are renewable and must be submitted 30 days prior to the original plans expiration. Please contact a sales representative to discuss your renewal options.
What should I do if I need extended service?
Our extended service providers offer an easy to use interactive form online which you may use to request that they initiate a claim on your product. Your other alternative is to call the toll-free number on your extended warranty card or email and have a qualified representative make this request for you with the information you will provide. We believe that our claim initiation request process is the absolute best our industry has to offer. It is designed for simplicity and speed.
Who will perform the service on my product?
Our company works with over 11,000 authorized service professionals. Each technician is extensively trained by the respective manufacturers to provide service on your products. Authorized technicians must complete annual and bi-annual continued education exams in addition to being well versed in manufacturer supplied update bulletins to ensure their level of expertise is as current as the new products which come to market. We urge our customers to provide feedback regarding their experiences which we later use to insure that the level of service we are expected to provide is exactly the level of service you receive.
May I transfer my extended service plan to another person?
Our service plans are 100% transferable. If you would like transfer ownership of the covered product along with its coverage, we require that the request be supplied in writing. For assistance please contact a Representative. Please have all of the new owner's information at hand when requesting a transfer.
Will I have to pay a deductible or any other "hidden costs"?
Generally, the amount of a deductible is almost always proportional to the amount of the premium charged. In order to have a lower deductible, even as low as $0, the plan holder would generally have to agree to a higher premium. For those who want lower premiums, they must agree to a higher deductible. Our extended service plans carry a $0.00 deductible along with low premiums. This means that with an extended service plan there are no high upfront costs and they are committed to cover 100% parts and labor costs on any authorized claim.

limited number of fault segments. Other hazard analyses have also incorporated time-dependent probabilities (212). Time-dependent seismic hazard maps have been produced for California by the Southern California Earthquake Center and the California Division of Mines and Geology (CDMG) (213). The CDMG maps show substantial differences from the time-independent maps for certain faults.
Several efforts are also under way to produce urban seismic hazard maps that merge probabilistic seismic hazard assessment with site response and, in some cases, three-dimensional basin effects and rupture directivity. These maps, at scales of 1:24,000 to 1:50,000, could be used for engineering design purposes, loss estimation, and land-use planning.
Seismic waves travel through a medium having a free surface, strong variations (usually increases) of seismic velocity with depth, large-scale lateral variations in seismic velocities related to mountains and sedimentary basins, small-scale lateral variations (scatterers), and dramatically different elastic properties at individual observation sites (local soil conditions). The wave trains generated by even very simple sources, such as explosions, can become highly complex due to propagation through such heterogeneous media. Source effects such as rupture directivity further add to the spatial variation of ground motions (see Section 5.5).
This large degree of variability in ground-motion characteristics presents a formidable challenge to earthquake engineers and engineering seismologists whose role is to characterize ground motions for the seismic design of structures. During the past two decades, careful studies of ground motions from well-recorded earthquakes, the application of rigorous representations of earthquake sources as shear dislocations, and the use of increasingly realistic methods of modeling seismic wave propagation through heterogeneous structures have resulted in a greatly enhanced ability to understand and predict the complex waveforms of strong ground-motion recordings. Common methods to estimate ground motions are summarized below.
Empirical Engineering Models of Strong Ground-Motion Attenuation A convenient collection of recent empirical ground-motion models was published in the 1997 January-February issue of Seismological Research Letters (214). These ground-motion models are for distinct tectonic categories of earthquakes: shallow crustal earthquakes in tectonically active regions, shallow crustal earthquakes in tectonically stable regions, and subduction-zone earthquakes. Subduction-zone earthquakes are further subdivided into those that occur on the shallow plate interface and those
