Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 90 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by jchawk97 Relaxing Airport Alternative Recently my wife and I stayed at Sheraton Bandara. I was arriving late from America and our house is in the south of Jakarta, one hour from the airport. I had previously observed the Sheraton concierge at baggage claim and set the meeting with my SPG Ambassador. My wife had checked in earlier and enjoyed the Saturday night buffet, which was very fresh with many selections. Our SPG status was recognized with an upgrade to a two room suite near the gym and spa. When I arrived I was met by Bandara staff at baggage claim, after retrieving my bags I was in my room relaxing within 15 minutes. The next morning we enjoyed the morning buffet and toured the gardens which are a refreshing surprise being so close to the airport. We took pics and posted online, our Foreign and Indonesia friends commented on how beautiful it was. We met Sales and Marketing Director Naomi Shombing who was checking the grounds with staff, we had a nice conversation and felt very welcomed. We will stay here again as I travel often for work, this is a very relaxing alternative to fighting the traffic after a long international flight. May 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Homeboy Homeboy Excellent service! The hotel itself is older but in great shape; clean and well appointed. But the staff...beyond helpful! I arrived with a ripped suitcase from the airport and had to leave early the next morning. The concierge staff and the hotel maintenance staff helped with the materials needed to patch up the suitcase and get me on my way...way beyond their ordinary duties. Everyone helpful, on time and resourceful!! H April 21, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Gengis Good Property but getting Old I was in a room close to the pool, and the noise from the Pool bar was really disturbing. Property is good and spacious but needs renovation for sure... rooms are not that great. March 29, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by JayJaySt Save Haven from Nasty Traffic Eventhough the hotel is rather old, and some of the rooms have damp and moss smell but I have to say the bed is very comfortable especially if you like soft beds. Aside from this, the hotel is the only hotel in Jakarta that has a very decent massage 24hour round the clock. The therapists are kind and attentive and helpful in distressing. Furthermore the Maxis Lounge have a very good slow-jazzy live music, very soothing whilst having discussions or meetings. Above all, the staffs here are just great! The guards at the entrance, concierge, waiter, waitresses, reception staff. I'd like to personally commend Ms Widya of the reception for always making my day during my stats and visits. She's very kind attentive and swift in handling our needs with a Can Do attitude. Always made my stay and visits very enjoyable one. Thank you Ms Widya! You might want to consider of visiting this hotel for massage and winding down at the Maxis Lounge when you arrive during the nasty traffic time in Jakarta Eventhough you don't stay the night. It's a safe haven near the airport in Jakarta. February 28, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by TravellingBusinessman Great location and hotel, very noisy because of poolside bar I have used this hotel several times and have always liked it for its proximity to the Jakarta airport, its beautiful grounds and renovated rooms, and its helpful and friendly staff. But my last stay was totally spoiled by the constant, loud, thumping dance music from the poolside bar, all day and right through to midnight. It felt like an all-day nightclub, not a hotel for resting, relaxing, chatting, or getting business done. I would not recommend this hotel to others unless I knew this problem was dealt with. February 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by ERICTAHALELE best hotel Best concierge, Best F.o Best F&b Best room Best wifi And great massage January 31, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Alexander1111 Can't be worst anymore of SPG First of all, I do appreciate my room was being upgraded to Ambassador Suite, which made my trip even more efficient and I could complete my tasks quickly. However, it's more and more things disappointed me from Sheraton Bandara. First thing first: food. I always take in-room dining at Sheraton Bandara because I need to work overnight in my room. I need quality food to give me energy to work. I never worry how much I have to pay, but a US$30 steak your chef simply ruined it - no any taste of beef and not hot at all. For breakfast, I have no idea why you have to keep all these seeds in the fresh orange juice in my glass. Is it you have to prove to your customers that it's fresh? But I could see some modifications work done in your hotel, it feels more modernized and more close to customers' expectation. The pool-side modification was one of these I liked most. Mosquitoes problem was still the most annoying, if I was staying on 1/F I don't think I could have sleep at all. The bed was still the best of Sheraton among all hotels! I could not have good sleep a week before in Bangladesh which was not in Westin Dhaka, but I could get some good rest in Sheraton Bandara. January 22, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Hansong Most convenient hotel near Jakarta Airport To catch the early morning flight, this is my first choice hotel just next to Jakarta airport. Don't have to worry about the traffic jam. Hotel facility is a bit old, but quite clean. November 30, 2014

Anyone know about the Suzuki DR800?

I got one. Anything you need to know - will be glad to help.
I have all manuals and collected as much as possible information from owners and mechanics.
I love that bike and I think it is best in it's own from what I can find on market.
It is not as fast as Africa or Supertenere (I think), but it will do 100 mph no probs, on newer 800 model tank is enoguh for 400-420 km, it is suprisingly agile on paved roads and IMO more off-road oriented than Africa or Superten.
In stock it got lot of extra weight that VERY easy to shave off. Just change of exhaust and few bits in the rear part of bike sheds off 20 kg right away.
It is taller and with more suspension travel than AT and ST and all it needs is normal front brake caliper instead of that joke of brakes stock. Disk is good, it is only caliper.
It is VERY similar to DR650 when you take plastics off and everything on bike is inside strong thick tubular frame, so there is virtually no way to break anything on bike in fall if you just install crashbars. And it is ultra cheap to run and tune.
Here is some gallery of mine in process of some build-up.
So far (almost complete) I did ( apart from total stripping to the frame and repainting frame and swingarm)
Front brake caliper from Gilera Nordwest (Grimeca caliper) with self-made adaptor
A bit of engine fiddle (main jets, airfilter)
Crashbars (self made from bits of cheap 5Stars bars)
WRP handlebar with proper handguards
Second variant of exhaust to let it breathe and save weight - full titanium Arrow end can from Benelli Tornad Tre - got it for 40 bucks off eBay with few stratches :) Saved about 8-9 kg weight
Trailtech Vapor instead of original dash - saved some weight
HID headlight - added some weight :)
Rear panniers frame - got cheap 5Stars from eBay, re-welded it myself. Protects rear part of bike in falls as well.
Suspension works just fine, so no change there. 68000 km on the clock, nothing touched in engine except usual maintenance and good oil.
Here is whole history

- Publisher: Crytek
- Release Date: Mar 19, 2014
- Summary: The Collectables combines intense combat, extreme gunfights, 3D battlefields and classic larger-than-life action heroes to bring players an unparalleled mobile game experience.
- Developer: Crytek, DeNA Co., Ltd.
- Genre(s): General
- Cheats: On GameFAQs
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 4 out of 9
Mixed: 5 out of 9
Negative: 0 out of 9
Apr 16, 2014The Collectables is a definite stand-out on iOS that offers highly engaging action strategy that you will definitely enjoy.
Mar 25, 2014Even when progress slows down, the game's light strategy and thrill of opening a new pack of cards is hard to deny, making The Collectables a surprising treat in the overcrowded sea of free-to-play games.
Apr 3, 2014The Collectables is a funny, light and free strategy game. You decide whether your want to cool down after a game, or want to spend a tack of gold to keep playing. With replayable missions Crytek rewards you with enough currency to just keep on going.
Mar 26, 2014The Collectables is a mixed bag. On the one hand, the game's got some stunning graphics and lots of missions, on the other hand it's cumbersome when you have to move the team members individually.
Mar 31, 2014A treat for the eyes and ears, The Collectables mixes top-notch presentation with rote but enjoyable gameplay to good effect.
Mar 26, 2014In any case, The Collectables is easy to grasp, fast-paced and gorgeous, kind of like that bad boy/girl you had a crush on back in the day.
Mar 25, 2014The Collectables shapes up well early on, but its straightforward-yet-fun shooting and strategy elements are well and truly hamstrung by a freemium-spoiled design with a stingy reward system.

London area of Southwark guide
What to do and where to stay in London's Southwark neighbourhood
Renowned for its old inns and taverns, Southwark is also the historical home of the capital's arts and entertainments industry. London's first theatres - the Globe, the Hope and the Rose - were all built there in the 16th century and Shakespeare's plays first performed there. Nestles on the South Bank beside the Thames, the rebuilt Globe is now one of the most popular theatres in London, while the neighbouring Tate Modern, housed in an imposing former power station, is among the world's most popular art galleries. London's modern City Hall and the magnificent gothic Southwark Cathedral complete a remarkable set of buildings that show five centuries of London's architectural achievements. Next to the cathedral is the world-famous Borough Market, open Thursday to Saturday and brimming with fresh, organic produce. New to the Southwark skyline is the 306-metre tall Shard of Glass skyscraper, set to become the 45th tallest building in the world on completion. As well as Bankside, the borough takes in the up-and-coming areas of Bermondsey, Camberwell and Peckham, where the sitcom Only Fools and Horses was set. This part of London is currently popular with young professionals and artists due to its proximity to the centre of town and low property prices. In the south of the borough lies leafy, suburban Dulwich which forms a welcome contrast to the bustling energy that defines the rest of one of London's oldest areas.

Kama Sutra worm seduces PC users

When run on a Windows PC, the worm copies itself to shared network locations and sends itself to e-mail addresses found on the target computer. The pest includes a timed attack that attempts to disable antivirus and firewall software and delete certain files, including Office documents, on the third day of the month, according to antivirus software vendor F-Secure.
The worm, dubbed W32/Nyxem-E by F-Secure, arrives attached to an e-mail message. It uses a variety of subject lines, including "School girl fantasies gone bad." The body text also varies, but it can include references to the Kama Sutra, the ancient Sanskrit book with pictures and explanations about different sexual positions. The worm executes when the user opens the attachment.
"This worm feeds on people's willingness to receive salacious content on their desktop computer," Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for antivirus vendor Sophos, said in a statement.
Nyxem-E was the most commonly caught threat in the past 24 hours, according to both F-Secure and Trend Micro, which calls the worm Grew.A. The worm also has its own counting mechanism, and it showed 510,000 infected systems on Saturday, according to F-Secure.
"Our internal reporting system shows a steady stream of Nyxems being reported from all over the world, from USA to Australia," F-Secure said in a statement on its corporate blog. "If the worm keeps this pace, Friday the 3rd of February might be nasty--that's when the destructive payload is programmed to strike for the first time."
To protect themselves, users should keep their antivirus software up to date and be wary when opening e-mail attachments, experts said.

- Yet another reason to dump Windows
- The folks at Microsoft know that their system is easily hackable and and do far too little to create a less vulnerable system.
Until the very wealthy and capable folks at Microsoft decide to stop lying about how secure their system is and rewrite Windows from the ground up, the virus vulnerability issue will continue.
You can keep making the case for Windows superiority or you can be smarter and consider any Unix OS or buy Mac machines.

It looks good UNDER foundation but since I have terrible dark circles I like to wear concealer over my foundation it's the only way to get rid of them and this is too shiny. I thought ivory of this would match te ivory foundation but no it's way lighter then the foundation! I only use this under my foundation and blend it and it kind of cover my dark circles but I still need another concealer over top. And you know how some foundations go orange during the day? This concealer does opposite. It goes lighter during the day! Wtf

Will never repurchase as a blemish concealer. Barely ANY product, it runs out so fast! Although it does cover my under eye circles really well, it is difficult to apply to blemishes because the tip becomes rounded and bulky when you use it for awhile :/ Good for a highlighter and dark circles though! (Which I MAY repurchase it for).
If you have dry skin under your eyes, on your eyelids or anywhere else you plan to apply this to, find a different product! It brings out dry skin like no tomorrow and completely defeats the purpose!

I bought this today and i think that it works amazingly!! This is my first concealer and i am in love with it !
First of all its ivory shade which is 001, matches me perfectly! In my opinion the most important thing to look in a foundation, make up base , concealer etc. is, if its color matches you perfectly or not. And NEVER buy something with a pink undertone if you are yellow undertoned like me :) ! Try it out at a cosmetic store!
Its coverage is awesome :) Its looking so natural while covering things perfectly. I personally apply it under my bb cream ( I am mixing dior hyralife bb and pure beauty bulgarian rose bb cream and the result is just fabulous!)
The only thing i don't really like about this product is that it gets a bit cakey around my eye area. So i decided to buy another LIQUID concealer to apply under my eyes.
In conculusion its great for those who are looking for a stick concealer..
If you have a question about any make up issue, just tweet me ( @tayswiftturkey ) or contact me on makeupalley, I would love to help ;)

I bought this concealer in natural beige, but when I used it it was a terrible orange colour. It did nothing for my under-eye circles except accentuate the fact that they were there, as it settled into the lines. It also looked greasy after a while. Will not buy again!

Ughhhh. This stuff left me soooooo greasy. It seperated after an hour of wear and left patches of no coverage. I can't recommend. I was excited to try it because I like the packaging. I love the ease of a stick concealer and the color looked perfect. I got the honey shade. In the package it looked like a good match but on my skin it was too orange. This wasn't expensive but.....another $6 wasted.

So I posted about a month ago regarding positive blood work, various symptons, and my fear of going through the endoscopy.
SOOO, I got it done last monday (a week and a half ago).
Everything went well, I thought I was asleep, but apparently I just don't remember being awake.
Anyways, I had a pleasant experience at the hospital, no complications. Though they sent me home about 10min after I regained concsiouness, without explaining anything to me.
I did not think to ask about how it went.
4 days after the Endoscopy, I get a call from the surgeon's office saying that the surgon would like to see me to discuss the procedure that was done, and that they would give me the soonest appointment (today, so less than a week after the phone call).
Because I am confused about what the surgeon would want to talk to me about, I called my family doctor (who ordered the endoscopy), to see if she had received the results.
Apparently she received the results last week, just put it in my file without contacting me, and closed it.
So the "nice" secretary told me " it is your reponsability to book an appointment to discuss test results".
It would be nice if I even knew the results were in!!!!!!!!
She said that my doctor "PROBABLY" put the results in the file without saying anything because it did not show anything important.
We wern't looking for anything "important" we were looking to confirm if it is Celiac.
So now they are giving me an appointment in a month, because they need to leave room for emergency appointments.
How is anyone supposed to appreciate doctors if they do things like that ?
Now I am confused as to why I am even taking time off of work and losing pay to go see the surgeon, and then losing pay AGAIN to go see my general doctor who does not seem that concerned.
I have been "gluten free" (My boyfriend forgets and always cooks gluten products along with my gluten free products (on the BBQ, on serving plates, etc...) and I have been feeling worse than I did 2 weeks ago.
I know I should just wait until the appointment with the surgeon tonight, since he probably also has the biopsy results himself
but I just wanted to say "grrrr"
*end rant*

1922 Cincinnati Reds & Chicago Cubs Signed Baseball with Alexander, Rixey. Hall of Fame pitchers Grover Cleveland Alexander and Eppa Rixey faced off to launch the 1922 season at Crosley Field, and though Old Pete would emerge with the seven to three victory, it was Rixey who would take top National League honors at the close of the season with an impressive twenty-five wins. Each legendary hurler is among the thirty-five signatures applied to this retail model ball from a Cincinnati sporting goods shop. Some players only print their names, others apply scripted signatures (as do Alexander and Rixey). Other notable names include Jake Daubert, Dolf Luque, Lew Fonseca, PJ Moran, Babe Pinelli, Bubbles Hargrave, Bill Killefer and many more. Signatures quality ranges from 1/10 to 9/10, with the majority in the higher end of that range. The ball is modestly toned and has a flat spot on one panel where it was stored for decades, but to no significant detriment. A very early multi-team ball including many players rarely encountered upon horsehide. Pre-certified by PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication.

Today I decided to package all of my various scripts together into a useful toolkit. Some are perl, some are shell script. These scripts are, in general, one off scripts that I wrote in order to get things done that weren't available at the time. Now they're nicely organized and will receive updates at the google code repo.
So far the toolkit includes the following scripts:
- mt-backup-parallel -> the parallel backup script I wrote about in my last post
- mt-check-replication -> script to report on replication status for slave servers
- mt-check-rhcluster-filesystems -> reports on redhat cluster filesystems (for mysql active/passive clustering)
- mt-connections-log -> logs connections to mysql to disk, reports on threshold overages
- mt-flush-tables-sequence -> runs through schema.tables to flush in sequence before global flush
- mt-rotate-logs -> rotates general and slow query logs on periodic basis
To download go here: http://code.google.com/p/monolith-toolkit/
Note: these are not associated (yet) with the main Monolith project that is for monitoring. Although it will be soon

Gear Review
best customer service
I got the Kelty medium Sunshade about 2 months ago & have had it set up on the deck. We've used it for the outdoor wi-fi, yoga & sleeping. It's great for sleeping outside if it's only raining lightly. If it's more than breezy while it's raining, we get wet. Best, though is the customer service. When I took the 'shade down, I found that one section of a pole was cracked lengthwise. I called Kelty, got a return authorization number, and, since I work in the area, brought it there the next day. They replaced the entire pole on the spot. Faced with a similar situation, North Face took 6 weeks to send a pole section to a metallurgist, then refused to replace even just that section because they said it looked like we'd slammed it in a car door. Just as we'd told them we'd done in order to completely break the already bent pole to make it usable.

19. The system of
The present invention relates generally to a cheque-clearing process and, more particularly, to a method and system for minimizing cheque conversion errors and fraudulent handling of cheques.
Various methods, systems and apparatus relating to the present invention are disclosed in the following U.S. patents/patent applications filed by the applicant or assignee of the present invention:
Cheque clearance is a highly distributed and automated process, and it is currently difficult for the paying bank to systematically detect conversion errors or fraud. It is largely up to the account holder to detect mistakes reflected in their statement, and many account holders do not have the time or the inclination to verify their statements. An incorrect cheque value can result from a transcription error during conversion, a failure of intelligent character recognition (ICR) during conversion, or from fraudulent alteration of the cheque details by the payee.
It would be desirable to improve cheque clearance processes so as to minimize conversion errors and fraud.
In a first aspect, there is provided a cheque clearing process comprising the steps of:
The cheque-clearing process of the present invention advantageously assists in minimizing fraud (e.g. by the payee altering a cheque) or cheque-conversion errors (e.g. by misreading the cheque at the payee's bank) by converting the cheque twice. The first conversion is based on digital ink generated by the payer's pen; the second conversion is based on scanning the cheque and reading the visible information using, for example, intelligent character recognition. The second cheque conversion is performed independently of the first cheque conversion, which enables the detection of fraud or any conversion errors during the clearing process by comparing payment information generated from each independent cheque conversion.
Optionally, the first or second payment information is selected from at least one of: an account number, a cheque number, a bank code, a branch code, an account name holder, a cheque value, a date, and a payee name.
Optionally, the unique cheque identity identifies at least one of: an account number, a cheque number, a bank code, a branch code and an account name holder.
Optionally, the cheque has a coding pattern printed thereon, the coding pattern identifying the unique cheque identity.
Optionally, the coding pattern is a position-coding pattern encoding a plurality of locations on the cheque, the position-coding pattern being imagable by the pen thereby enabling the pen to generate the digital ink.
Optionally, a computer system causes a paying bank to credit a payee bank for a value of the cheque if the first payment information matches the second payment information.
Optionally, a paying bank flags an exception if the first payment information does not match the second payment information.
Optionally, a payment request identified by the cheque is refused if the paying bank flags an exception.
Optionally, the digital ink comprises a unique pen identity for the optically imaging pen and the unique pen identity is associated with an account name holder authorized to write the cheque.
Optionally, at least part of the first payment information is generated from the digital ink using intelligent character recognition.
Optionally, at least part of the second payment information is generated from a scanned image of the cheque using intelligent character recognition.
Optionally, part of the second payment information is identified using magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) data printed on the cheque.
Optionally, the part of the second payment information is selected from at least one of: account number, cheque number, bank code and branch code.
Optionally, the computer system is owned or associated with any one of: a paying bank, a payee bank or an independent clearing house.
Optionally, the process enables detection of fraudulent handling of the cheque by comparing the first payment information with the second payment information.
Optionally, the process detects errors in converting payment information entered on the cheque by comparing the first payment information with the second payment information.
In a second aspect, there is provided a computer system for clearing cheques, the computer system being configured for:
In a third aspect, there is provided a system for writing a cheque which enables detection of fraudulent handling of the cheque during a clearing process, the system comprising:
a cheque printed with a position-coding pattern, the postion-coding pattern encoding a plurality of locations on the cheque and identifying a unique cheque identity;
an optically imaging pen comprising:
Optionally, the computer system comprises a first computer system for interpreting the digital ink and generating the first payment information, and a second computer system for comparing the first payment information with the second payment information, the first computer system being in communication with the second computer system.
Preferred and other embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of non-limiting example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
The present invention is used in connection with the Applicant's netpage system, which has been described in detail in the cross-referenced patent applications identified above.
In brief summary, the preferred form of the netpage system employs a computer interface in the form of a mapped surface, that is, a physical surface which contains references to a map of the surface maintained in a computer system. The map references can be queried by an appropriate sensing device. Depending upon the specific implementation, the map references may be encoded visibly or invisibly, and defined in such a way that a local query on the mapped surface yields an unambiguous map reference both within the map and among different maps. The computer system can contain information about features on the mapped surface, and such information can be retrieved based on map references supplied by a sensing device used with the mapped surface. The information thus retrieved can take the form of actions which are initiated by the computer system on behalf of the operator in response to the operator's interaction with the surface features.
In its preferred form, the netpage system relies on the production of, and human interaction with, netpages. These are pages of text, graphics and images printed on ordinary paper, but which work like interactive webpages. Information is encoded on each page using ink which is substantially invisible to the unaided human eye. The ink, however, and thereby the coded data, can be sensed by an optically imaging sensing device ("reader") and transmitted to the netpage system. The sensing device may take the form of, for example, a clicker (for clicking on a specific position on a surface), a pointer having a stylus (for pointing or gesturing on a surface using pointer strokes), or a pen having a marking nib (for marking a surface with ink when pointing, gesturing or writing on the surface). In the context of the present invention, the sensing device typically takes the form of a pen having a marking nib for writing on cheques.
In one embodiment of the netpage system, active buttons and hyperlinks on each page can be clicked with the sensing device to request information from the network or to signal preferences to a network server. In other embodiments of the netpage system, text written by hand on a netpage is automatically recognized and converted to computer text in the netpage system, allowing forms to be filled in. In other embodiments, signatures recorded on a netpage are automatically verified, allowing e-commerce transactions to be securely authorized. In other embodiments of the netpage system, text on a netpage may be clicked or gestured to initiate a search based on keywords indicated by the user.
As illustrated in
The surface coding pattern 3 comprises a plurality of tags 4, which are densely tiled over the whole netpage 1. Characteristics of the tags are described in more detail in Section 2.
Referring to
Referring to
Each tag 4 of the coding pattern 3 encodes the two-dimensional coordinates of its location on the graphic impression 2 as well as the impression's unique identifier (more specifically, a document ID, page ID or a cheque ID). When a tag is optically imaged by a Netpage pen 400, the pen is able to identify the corresponding impression identity as well as its own position relative to the impression. When the user of the pen 400 moves the pen relative to the coordinate grid encoded by the coding pattern 3, the pen generates a stream of positions. This stream is referred to as digital ink. A digital ink stream also records when the pen makes contact with a surface and when it loses contact with a surface, and each pair of these so called pen-down and pen-up events delineates a stroke drawn by the user using the pen. Any interaction with the coding pattern 3, which yields the impression identity and at least one position may be referred to as "interaction data".
The document (e.g. netpage cheque 1) has a corresponding input description which defines commands which may be activated by the user as well as form fields which may be filled in by the user. Both commands and form fields have active zones, i.e. areas of the page where they capture user input.
When the Netpage pen is used to fill in a form (e.g. the netpage cheque 1), it generates digital ink identifying the impression identifier (e.g. a cheque identity) and a stream of positions. The Netpage digital ink service accepts digital ink from a Netpage pen. Since the pen typically only has a short-range communications capability, it forwards the digital ink to the Netpage digital ink service via a Netpage relay 601 which has a longer-range communications capability. Typical relays include mobile phones, PDAs and personal computers.
The digital ink service uses the impression identifier (e.g. cheque identity) in the digital ink to retrieve the corresponding impression and input description from the document service, and attempts to assign each individual digital ink stroke to a field of the input description. Once it detects that the user of the pen has designated a form submission command, it interprets the digital ink assigned to the form and submits the resultant form data to the application 13 associated with the command.
In order to allow the digital ink service 10 to interpret pen input in relation to a particular impression, the document service keeps a copy of every input description it prints.
In order to allow a user to fill in a form over an arbitrarily long time, the digital ink service 10 retains a copy of all digital ink it receives, at least until the digital ink is interpreted and submitted to an application. The digital ink service 10 optionally retains all digital ink indefinitely, to allow digital ink searching of both form content and document annotations.
The Netpage pen 400 may be incorporated directly into a hand-held device such as a mobile phone or PDA. Conversely, the pen may incorporate a long-range communications capability and not need a separate relay.
Since the relay device 601 typically incorporates an interactive display, the digital ink service 10 may identify the interactive display to a target application to allow the application to communicate directly with the interactive display, thus allowing an interaction initiated via paper and pen to lead to a richer screen-based interaction, and generally allowing the development of hybrid paper- and screen-based applications which make the most of both media (see, for example, the Applicant's US Publication No. US 2008/0097823, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference).
In the presence of multiple distributed digital ink services a pen 400 (or its relay 601) may use a name service to resolve the network address of a target digital ink service, based on pen identifier and possibly impression identifier. In the presence of multiple distributed document services, a digital ink service uses a name service to resolve the network address of a document service, based on impression identifier.
Each tag 4, contained in the position-coding pattern 3, identifies an absolute location of that tag within a region of a substrate.
Each interaction with a netpage should also provide an impression identity together with the tag location (which is typically a grid location). In a preferred embodiment, the region or impression to which a tag refers coincides with an entire page, and the impression identity is therefore synonymous with the page ID of the page on which the tag appears. In other embodiments, the region or impression to which a tag refers can be an arbitrary subregion of a page or other surface. For example, it can coincide with the zone of an interactive element, in which case the region ID can directly identify the interactive element.
As described in some of the Applicant's previous applications (e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 6,832,717), the region identity may be encoded discretely in each tag 4. As described other of the Applicant's applications (e.g. U.S. application Ser. Nos. 12/025,746 & 12/025,765 filed on Feb. 5, 2008), the region identity may be encoded by a plurality of contiguous tags in such a way that every interaction with the substrate still identifies the region identity, even if a whole tag is not in the field of view of the sensing device.
Each tag 4 should preferably identify an orientation of the tag relative to the substrate on which the tag is printed. Strictly speaking, each tag 4 identifies an orientation of tag data relative to a grid containing the tag data. However, since the grid is typically oriented in alignment with the substrate, then orientation data read from a tag enables the rotation (yaw) of the netpage pen 400 relative to the grid, and thereby the substrate, to be determined.
A tag 4 may also encode one or more flags which relate to the region as a whole or to an individual tag. One or more flag bits may, for example, signal a netpage pen 400 to provide feedback indicative of a function associated with the immediate area of the tag, without the reader having to refer to a corresponding page description 5 for the impression. A netpage pen may, for example, illuminate an "active area" LED when positioned in the zone of an input field, such as the cheque input fields shown in
A tag 4 may also encode a digital signature or a fragment thereof. Tags encoding digital signatures (or a part thereof) are useful in applications where it is required to verify a product's authenticity. Such applications are described in, for example, US Publication No. 2007/0108285, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference. The digital signature may be encoded in such a way that it can be retrieved from every interaction with the substrate. Alternatively, the digital signature may be encoded in such a way that it can be assembled from a random or partial scan of the substrate.
It will, of course, be appreciated that other types of information (e.g. tag size etc) may also be encoded into each tag or a plurality of tags.
For a full description of netpage tags 4, reference is made to the Applicant's previously filed patent applications identified above, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference (see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,832,717 and U.S. application Ser. Nos. 12/025,746 & 12/025,765 filed on Feb. 5, 2008, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference).
As illustrated in the class diagram in
The visual description consists of a collection of visual elements representing static and/or dynamic elements. Static elements represent textflows, images, graphics etc. In the case of the netpage cheque 1, the visual description comprises a description of the various text zones shown in
Dynamic elements have associated dynamic objects and related applications. Examples of dynamic objects and their related applications include an audio clip and audio player, a video clip and video player, a photo and photo viewer etc. However, netpage cheques usually only contain static elements.
The input description consists of a collection of forms, each of which consists of a collection of input elements representing commands and/or fields. Forms may overlap both physically and logically, and the same input element may participate in multiple forms. Each input element has a zone which defines the area within which it captures input. In the case of the netpage cheque 1, the input description comprises a description of the various input field zones shown in
Each form is associated with a target application. The application receives submissions of the form, and the application is identified by an address.
As shown in
When the Netpage digital ink service 10 receives the digital ink from the pen 400, it retrieves the corresponding page description 5 using the document ID, and interprets the digital ink using the relevant input description. Each individual digital ink stroke is assigned to an input element (e.g. input field) of the input description according to the position and extent of the stroke and the zone of the input element. Digital ink comprises a set of timestamped strokes, and each stroke comprises a set of timestamped pen positions. Pen strokes may comprise other data, such as pen orientation, nib force and/or pen ID.
Once the digital ink service 10 detects that the user of the pen has designated a form submission command, it interprets the digital ink assigned to each field according to field type and submits resultant form data to the Netpage application 13 associated with the command (see
Any digital ink captured in the zone of a text field is automatically converted into a string of text characters using intelligent character recognition.
Any digital ink captured in the zone of a signature field zone is automatically verified by comparing the handwritten signature with a recorded signature of the user of the pen. The recorded signature is retrieved via the pen ID contained in the digital ink. If the signatures match, then the Netpage digital ink service 10 digitally signs the form data on behalf of the user.
Referring to
During normal operation, the Netpage pen 400 regularly samples the encoding of a surface as it is traversed by the pen's nib 406. The sampled surface encoding is decoded by the Netpage pen to yield surface information comprising the identity of the surface, the absolute position of the nib of the Netpage pen on the surface, and the pose of the Netpage pen relative to the surface. The Netpage pen also incorporates a force sensor 442 that produces a signal representative of the force exerted by the nib on the surface. The force sensor senses nib forces via a pin 451, which is coupled to the pen cartridge when the cartridge is extended as shown in
Each stroke is delimited by a pen down and a pen up event, as detected by the force sensor. Digital Ink is produced by the Netpage pen as the timestamped combination of the surface information signal, force signal, and the Gesture button input. The digital ink thus generated represents a user's interaction with a surface—this interaction may then be used to perform corresponding interactions with applications that have pre-defined associations with portions of specific surfaces. (In general, any data resulting from an interaction with a Netpage surface coding is referred to herein as "interaction data").
Digital ink is ultimately transmitted to the Netpage digital ink service 10, but until this is possible it may be stored within the Netpage pen's internal non-volatile memory. Once received by a Netpage digital ink service 10, the digital ink may be subsequently rendered in order to reproduce user markup of surfaces such as annotations or notes, or to perform handwriting recognition. A category of digital ink known as a Gesture also exists that represents a set of command interactions with a surface. (Although the Netpage digital ink service 10 is typically remote from the pen 400 as described herein, it will be appreciated that the pen may have an onboard computer system for interpreting digital ink).
The pen 400 incorporates a Bluetooth radio transceiver for transmitting digital ink to the digital ink service, usually via a relay device 601 (see
The Netpage pen is supplied with a charging cradle 426 referred to as a Netpage pen cradle (see
The Netpage pen is powered by a rechargeable battery 410. The battery is not accessible to or replaceable by the user. Power to charge the Netpage pen is usually sourced from the Netpage pen cradle 426, which in turn can source power either from a USB connection, or from an external AC adapter.
The Netpage pen's nib 406 may be user retractable, which serves the dual purpose of protecting surfaces and clothing from inadvertent marking when the nib is retracted, and signalling the Netpage pen to enter or leave a power-saving state when the nib is correspondingly retracted or extended. Referring to
Various embodiments of the Netpage pen 400 are described in greater detail in the Applicant's U.S. Pat. No. 6,870,966; U.S. Pat. No. 6,808,330; US Publication No. 2005/0024510; US Publication No. 2006/0028459; US Publication No. 2007/0040817; and U.S. application Ser. No. 12/477,863 filed on Jun. 3, 2009, the contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference.
The netpage cheque 1 shown in
Conversion of the cheque based on the digital ink is relatively easy. The digital ink identifies the cheque and hence the account details and cheque number. The digital ink also encodes the cheque value in the form of handwriting, allowing it to be converted by a human or ICR.
When the cheque is converted twice, i.e. by the paying bank based on the digital ink and by the clearing process based on the physical cheque, it becomes easy for the paying bank to detect errors of fraud. Any mismatch between the information obtained from the two conversions is indicative of an error or fraud. It doesn't matter which conversion is in error; when a mismatch is detected a human can cross-check the two conversions.
If an account holder commits to using a Netpage pen then the paying bank can flag an exception if it receives a payment request for an unused cheque, i.e. a cheque for which it has received no digital ink. However, electronic cheque conversion is increasingly being performed at point of sale, so there is an increasing likelihood that the paying bank will receive a payment request for a cheque before the customer's pen has had a chance to upload its digital ink. This does not matter from a verification standpoint. The paying bank can still flag an exception if there's a subsequent mismatch, and institute recovery.
The simplified process in
The present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment and number of specific alternative embodiments. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the relevant fields that a number of other embodiments, differing from those specifically described, will also fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, it will be understood that the invention is not intended to be limited to the specific embodiments described in the present specification, including documents incorporated by cross-reference as appropriate. The scope of the invention is only limited by the attached claims.

Originally written on Lady At The Bat | Last updated 9/4/12
Robinson Cano either has a sore left hip, terrible judgement, or a bad case of laziness. In that fateful 8th inning of yesterday's game against the Rays, it was crucial for Cano to keep Chris Gimenez's ground ball in the infield. The ball went past him and the game went past the Yankees, by a final score of 4-3. Going into today's action, the Yankee division lead was just 1 game over the Orioles and 2.5 over the Rays. Whatever Cano's problem is, this is the wrong time to have it. He cost the Yankees the game yesterday. Yesterday, September 3rd, not five months ago on April 3rd. There is no margin for error right now. But does Cano understand that? I'd love to know what went on in his head yesterday. Did his hip really "grab" as he told reporters? Was it, as John Harper of the New York Daily News wrote, poor judgement? Or, was it just plain laziness?If it turns out that there was nothing wrong with his hip, someone needs to get in his face and give him the business. But Cano is the...

Rinse rice in several changes of cold water in a large bowl until water runs clear. Drain in a large sieve.
Bring 3 quarts water and salt to a boil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot, then add rice and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes from time water returns to boil. Drain parboiled rice in a sieve. Clean and dry pot.
Melt butter with coriander seeds and pepper in pot over low heat, stirring to combine, then sprinkle rice into pot, mounding it in center. Make 5 or 6 holes in rice to bottom of pot with round handle of a wooden spoon and sprinkle rice with zest. Cover pot with a kitchen towel and a heavy lid. Fold edges of towel up over lid (to keep towel from burning) and cook rice over low heat, undisturbed, until tender and a crust forms on bottom, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from heat and let rice stand, tightly covered and undisturbed, 30 minutes.
Discard zest (or save for garnish) and spoon loose rice onto a platter. Season rice with salt, then break crust into pieces and scatter over rice.
Cooks' note: Rice can be parboiled and drained 4 hours ahead and transferred to a bowl. Keep, covered with a dampened paper towel, at room temperature.

Wouldn't want Emma Watson, but Lyndsey Fonseca would be interesting. She certainly has the action experience and looks at home with fight choreography, but, as you say, the british part of the character might be a stretch.
I suppose if they're not going to go down the origins route, the obviously logical choice would be Kate Beckinsdale. She's obviously english, specifically with the upper class 'plummy' accent, and is more than proven in the action movies.
Here's one to ponder - Michelle Keegan. Certainly got the figure, British and can act (to a point
). And at 25, she'd still be young enough to pull of a younger version of Lara. Could she make the step up to the big screen though ?

Customers will have access to audio and video content, including podcast and vodcast downloads thanks to the deal.
The content will be automatically fed through to a customer's browser based on different search criteria and areas of interest, a process done through Elcom's content management technology."Our website is the main communications and marketing channel to our customers around the world and has become even more important since Austrade took up responsibility for attracting inward investment in July last year," said Emma Palmer, web manager, Corporate Marketing and Communications, Austrade.
"One of the reasons we have partnered with Elcom is that we needed to make it as easy and transparent as possible for the team to add and manage the content on the website." Palmer says flexibility was the focus during the website design process. The multimedia functionality, expected to be completed next month, relies on Elcom's CommunityManager.NET web development platform.
"Web development is not the core IT function for most businesses and Government agencies and departments, so it's important they find a local resource that can quickly address their content requirements and provide them with round-the-clock support," said John Anstey, founder and CEO, Elcom. "In this instance we're using technology that's built in to our web development platform to add new functionality to Austrade's site without having to develop a new module or application from scratch.
"Austrade gets maximum flexibility when it comes to how, when and where it makes the functionality available to its customers." Elcom is also working on a module for CommunityManager.NET that enables Government organisations on a Federal, State and Local level to manage content and documents, share information and collaborate.

A former Gates Chili basketball coach, who had sex with a 16-year-old student at Tinseltown Movie Theater was in New York State Supreme Court Wednesday.
Judge Alex Renzi has to decide where Monte Nowden will be a Level 1 or Level 2 sex offender.
Nowden is due to be released in August and will have to register as a sex offender. The Department of Corrections assessment designated Nowden as a Level 1 sex offender, the lowest level. But the District Attorney's Office says he should be a Level 2.
What's the difference? Level 1 is for a determinant amount of time. Level 2 is for life.
Nowden said in court Wednesday that he takes responsibility for his actions and looks forward to being a productive member of society again.
Judge Renzi will issue a written decision on Nowden's sex offender status. News10NBC will let you know when that comes out.

We just got back from the anti-Scarano rally hosted by Council Bill De Blasio on the steps of the Department of Buildings offices at 210 Joralemon Street. As you may recall, De Blasio started calling for Robert Scarano's license several weeks ago just as the controversy over the architect's design for the corner of Smith Street and 2nd Place was heating up. This morning's rally was specifically to call upon the Department of Buildings to suspend work on all current projects and not approve any submitted projects by Scarano while he continues to be under investigation. De Blasio called the suspension only "common sense" and likened Scarano's continued activity to that of a doctor with multiple cases of malpractice being allowed to continue to operate. He was joined by an aide of Assemblymember Joan Millman who read a statement that said, among other things, "Given Mr. Scarano's consistently poor track record, it just makes sense for the Department of Buildings to put a moratorium on Scarano projects until the essential question of his license is resolved." What remains unclear is whether DOB has the legal authority to comply with this request. Update: Check out the statement on the jump that DOB sent over to us late in the day in response to the press conference.
Mixed Agendas at Anti-Scarano Rally on Smith Street [Brownstoner]
Scarano Not Making Fans on Smith St. and Beyond [Curbed]
Another Anti-Scarano Rally Today [Gowanus Lounge]
DOB Statement 7/17/07:
We have been and will continue to monitor Mr. Scarano's permit applications closely. When warranted, the Department will issue violations and Stop Work Orders and revoke permits. If a professional has a license with the State Department of Education, the Buildings Department is required by law to issue a permit if his or her application is compliant. At the request of the State Department of Education, the Buildings Department has sent information on construction applications filed by Mr. Scarano to the Office of Professional Discipline, the division of the State DOE that issue architects and engineers licenses. We are prepared to continue assisting the State Department of Education in any way we can to pursue revocation of licenses of repeat offenders who violate the Building Code and Zoning Resolution.
