- www.foyles.co.uk/events
AboutLAYDEEZ DO COMICS is the first UK graphic novel forum led by women. Its focus is on comics work based on life narrative, and the drama of the domestic and the everyday. Launched in July 2009, the group was set up by the illustrator and author of graphic novel Billy, Me & You, Nicola Streeten, and the artist, researcher and curator Sarah Lightman. It is the first women-led graphic novel forum in the UK. They shared an interest in comics and graphic novels that were not about superheroes but were more about the domestic and autobiographical. They felt that they couldn't be alone in their interest for this emerging genre within the medium of graphic novels. They were right! Artists, academics, publishers and fans from around the world are invited to speak. It is a platform for people to test new works and ideas, where emerging artists present their work alongside more established practitioners. All are welcome men and women, those with no knowledge of comics and those already immersed. Wine and home-baked cakes are served too! To find out more about LDC and to hear podcasts and read the blogs of previous meetings, please see our website. Guests 17 Feb: Steven Appleby Comics artist and illustrator www.stevenappleby.com A.

A Japanese e-commerce firm said it will buy the Israeli-founded Viber chat startup for $900 million.
Rakuten Inc announced its planned purchase of Viber Media Inc. on Friday.
Viber, run by the Israeli entrepreneur Talmon Marco, will add 300 million users to Rakuten's existing 200 million users, Rakuten's CEO, Hiroshi Mikitani, told reporters in Tokyo.
Viber is registered as a financial enterprise based in Cyprus and Las Vegas but is run and was founded from Israel, according to Israel's Channel 2. The company has a research and development center in Israel with a few dozen employees.
Rakuten's popularity in Japan and the company's decision to expand to new markets "make this deal an amazing opportunity for Viber to increase its own volume of users in existing and new markets," Channel 2 quoted Marco as saying.
Viber is one of the top five most downloaded smartphone phone call and messaging apps, and counts the United States, Russia and Australia among its biggest markets.
Last year, $7.6 billion changed hands as a result of the sale of Israeli high-tech startups, according to the Globes daily newspaper.
"This acquisition… will take Rakuten to a different level," Mikitani told Reuters about the Viber deal. The all-cash deal was announced after Rakuten reported an 80 percent jump in its 2013 operating profit.
Viber is funded from the pockets of its founders and several private investors from the United States. Viber recently launched an instant messaging app for personal computers that allows users to make outgoing mobile calls to other Viber users and non-registered mobiles, making it a rival to Skype.

About JDRF
JDRF is the worldwide leader for research to cure type 1 diabetes. It sets the global agenda for diabetes research, and is the largest charitable funder and advocate of diabetes science worldwide.
The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with type 1 diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injections multiple times or use a pump - each day, every day of their lives. And even with that intensive care, insulin is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its potential complications, which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.
Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $1.5 billion to diabetes research, including $107 million last year. More than 80 percent of JDRF's expenditures directly support research and research-related education. For more information, please visit www.jdrf.org.

You miss out on better graphics, more control options, for console-only games. Not to mention unbeatable Steam prices on the PC. So you are technically missing out in the end if you don't have the choice of buying for the platform you want

correct me if I am wrong but since this game is a XBLA/PSN release that would mean users would have to have a legit console to login the online service and download it. But, I do not know anything about how to pirate console things so...I'm just talking haha
...and piracy isnt rampant on consoles too? O......K......

They blame piracy on PC. What about piracy on consoles?
Yeah I know PC is ahead in these numbers but its still piracy (from their prespective).
I will not buy another game from Ubisoft again. Ever.
Be it Assassins Creed III or anything else.
They are following the exact same course of Rocksteady.
And I wouldn't be too surprised if Assassins Creed III will be out as console exclusive.
And I just found out today that Ghost Recon Future Soldiers isn't gonna be coming out on PC too. ****ing bitches
Posted 26 November 2011 - 17:26
Reason for UBISOFT to not release the game on pc, it already looks like a crappy game from 2007. And it will make it look like it's made in 2004 if the ever port it to pc. Don't worry Ubi I'm supporting pc games even though I don't play as much game on pc as before, I'm not playing or buying this game EVER.

DETROIT (AP) — The city of Detroit has filed a lawsuit seeking more than $10 million it spent on a federal monitor who had an improper relationship with ex-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
The Detroit Free Press reports the lawsuit filed Friday in Wayne County Circuit claims Sheryl Wood Robinson and her employers charged the city for millions of dollars in work. It says she should have been independent, professional and unbiased in her job monitoring changes at the Detroit police department.
Wood quit after text messages revealed the relationship with Kilpatrick.
Wood's lawyer has said she "conscientiously fulfilled all of her duties."
Kilpatrick said in a deposition in March that he had an "intimate" encounter with Wood.

Dwight Howard had 21 points and 14 rebounds, Kobe Bryant scored 27 points and the Los Angeles Lakers never trailed in their sixth win in seven games, 104-87, over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. Pau Gasol had 15 points and nine rebounds as the Lakers closed out their 2012 schedule by climbing back to .500 (15-15) in their rocky season. Los Angeles had little trouble rolling past the Blazers, taking a 20-point lead in the first half and holding star rookie Damian Lillard to 11 points on 4-for-17 shooting. LaMarcus Aldridge scored 26 points before sitting out the final minutes with a bruised chest for cold-shooting Portland, which lost for just the second time in eight games.

Opera F5 Contest. Win Some Stuff
And the rules are really simple, what you have to do is to find incorrect information about Opera browser, for example that it contains ads in the top, etc.
Obviously, we don't have to fix every old news article talking about previous versions of Opera, but general information sites without a specific publication date should be corrected to reflect the latest info.
When you've contacted a site, please post the URL in the contest page (so that others won't contact the same site over and over again) and describe what you asked them to fix. I'll send an Opera goodie-bag to the person who contacts the most sites in two weeks (deadline: Oct. 10th), and if you find/contact at least 5 sites with incorrect/outdated information about Opera, I'll enter you into a random drawing to win one other goodie-bag.

Have You Found Your Favorite Skin?
Today I was looking for some cool skins. It took me less than to find great looking skin for Firefox web browser, it's "Blue Ice".
However, I haven't found any great looking skin for Opera and don't know why. Am I too picky? Or just used default skin for a very long time? I've tried some of the Editor's picks but… Most of them there very old ones or just didn't fit "my style". Would you like to share us your favorite skins for your favorite web browser?

Animated Favicons, Firefox Only?
Is there anything wrong with the code itself or only Firefox (and Firefox based browsers) can handle animated favicons?
[link href="ico.gif" TYPE="image/gif" REL="icon"]
Changed <> with the [] so code would be visible.
I've checked this site with Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 18.104.22.168, Opera 9.23, Opera 9.5 Alpha, Safari 3.0.3 Beta, and only in Firefox I've seen animated favicon. Any ideas?

"Not a job for the soft-hearted "

I worked at U.S. GenomicsDoesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEODoesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEO
Good starting salaries for a variety of positions. Benefits are average but they offer good medical and dental services. Job positions are challenging, always on your toes. Must be smart and think ahead.
When I first joined, I liked and respected what USG potentially had to offer to the scientific community. I was disappointed as the months went on though. There is an extremely poor work/life balance. Looking back, I would NEVER recommend this job to someone who has children they must look after as this job has poor "core" hours. You have a lucky job if you can leave at 5 or 6 in the afternoon. Most do not. The projects are extremely challenging and though this may be nice sometimes, there is high discontent here as simple issues takes days or weeks to be resolved. I also got the impression many people are hard to just basically get along with in the workplace. Behind the scenes, there is a gossip mill and backstabbing between research associates, though this has slightly improved this past year with newer hires. I have also noticed this workplace has a lot more cliques than other places which basically degrades the morale of the workplace in general as these cliques are not for the best of the company.
Advice to Management
Senior Management is part of the problem at USG. John Canepa finally got it and stopped the company on some levels this past year to solve the numerous problems here, whether they are social or economical which is a nice start. But, do you actually have plans to take this company anywhere? There is a lack of communication between management and the regular scientists, except for the "favored" few scientists. Perhaps you do not know Canepa but it is obvious to the rest of us, as some of the senior scientists blatently steal credit from their staffers and management supports this? Keep the company going the way it is going and let the rest of us scientists in other workplaces do the real work to help save lives.

OpenStack Critique, Good Teaching, More Good Teaching, and Programming Sucks
- OpenStack: A Plea — critical take on OpenStack, also in this presentation. Notes the proliferation of inefficiency, devops bolted onto the side, and the long feedback cycle. You code differently when you have a pager. (via Sam Ramji)
- What Could Be More Interesting Than How The Mind Works? (Harvard) — the Steven Pinker story. A third ingredient of good teaching is overcoming "the curse of knowledge": the inability to know what it's like not to know something that you do know. (via Atul Gawande)
- Some Lecturing Heuristics — Realize further that your mood may be determined by only a few people. A smiling nodder will make you feel good, and you will do better. People reading newspapers will make you feel bad, and you will do worse. Do not permit people to do things that make you feel bad.

- Roundup of CS in Education Systems (Economist) — Above all, the new subject will require teachers who know what they are doing. Only a few places take this seriously: Israel has about 1,000 trained computer-science teachers, and Bavaria more than 700.

- Keybase.io Writeup (Tim Bray) — Tim's right, that removing the centralised attack point creates a usability problem. Systems that are hardest to attack are also the ones that are hardest for Normal People to use.

Wireframe Quiz, Business Values, Mobile Dev, and the Bad Guy Mindset
- De-Design the Web — quiz, can you recognise common websites from just their wireframes? For the non-designer (like myself) it's a potent reminder of the power of design. Design's front of mind as we chew on the Internet of Affordances. (via USvsTHEM)
- Words I Hold Dear (Slideshare) — short but effective presentation on values in business. If you are confident that you can bear responsibility, and will not do anything immoral, illegal, or unethical, then it is not too hard to choose the path that promises the most adventure.
- Android Development for iOS Devs — in case you had forgotten that developing for multiple mobile platforms is like a case of fire-breathing butt warts. (not good)

Web Past, Web Future, Automated Jerkholism, and Science Education
- High Volume Web Sites — Tim Berners-Lee answers my question on provisioning a popular web server in 1993. The info.cern.ch server which has the Subject Catalogue gets probably a relatively high usage, about 10k requests a day, or (thinks…) one every 9 seconds. the CPU load is negligible. In fact of course the peak rate is higher, but still its not really a factor. That was when the server forked a subprocess for each request, too. See also one of my early contributions to the nascent field of web operations (language alert).
- Tim Berners-Lee Calls For Web Magna Carta (Guardian) — Unless we have an open, neutral internet we can rely on without worrying about what's happening at the back door, we can't have open government, good democracy, good healthcare, connected communities and diversity of culture. It's not naive to think we can have that, but it is naive to think we can just sit back and get it.
- BroApp — Automatically message your girlfriend sweet things so you can spend more time with the Bros. Reminds me of the Electric Monk in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. The monk notices that humans have machines to watch TV for them. Now we have machines to be shitty boyfriends for us. (via Beta Knowledge)
- World Science U — quick answers, short courses, long MOOCs. I wonder how you'd know whether this was effective at increasing scientific literacy, and therefore whether it'd be worth doing for computational thought or programming.

Vanishing Money, Car Hackery, Data Literacy Course, and Cheaper CI
- The Programming Error That Cost Mt Gox 2609 Bitcoins — in the unforgiving world of crypto-currency, it's easy to miscode and vanish your money.
- Ford Invites Open-Source Community to Tinker Away — One example: Nelson has re-tasked the motor from a Microsoft Xbox 360 game controller to create an OpenXC shift knob that vibrates to signal gear shifts in a standard-transmission Mustang. The 3D-printed prototype shift knob uses Ford's OpenXC research platform to link devices to the car via Bluetooth, and shares vehicle data from the on-board diagnostics port. Nelson has tested his prototype in a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 that vibrates at the optimal time to shift.
- Making Sense of Data — Google online course on data literacy.
- Cost-Efficient Continuous Integration at Mozilla — CI on a big project can imply hundreds if not thousands of VMs on Amazon spinning up to handle compiles and tests. This blog post talks about Mozilla's efforts to reduce its CI-induced spend without reducing the effectiveness of its CI practices.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, Adobe Photoshop experts Tim Grey and Olaf Giermann look at the new features available in Photoshop CS6 and show you how to incorporate them into your workflow. They take you on a tour of the interface, which has a new look and different controls in some of the panels, and introduce you to all the new features in areas like adjustments, image cleanup, creative effects, text and graphics, video, and 3D.
If you spent any time with the Crop tool in Photoshop CS6 you might notice that the perspective check box is no longer there. But that doesnt mean you dont have access to the same perspective control when cropping an image. That setting has simply been transformed into the perspective Crop tool. In most cases I prefer to work with the lens correction filter and the transform commands. But in some cases you might find it's easier to work with the perspective Crop tool. Let's take a look. The Perspective Crop tool is found underneath the Crop tool. So you'll want to click and hold your mouse on the Crop tool button on the tool box and then Choose Perspective Crop tool from the Fly-out menu. You'll notice the settings are the same that you're probably already familiar with from previous versions of Photoshop, as far as the Crop tool is concerned. We can simply click and drag to draw a crop box over the image. At this point the tool behaves as though we had the perspective check box turned on with the Crop tool in previous versions of Photoshop. The grid is turned on by default.
I can turn it off if need be, but generally speaking, I prefer to have that grid on so that I can reference the lines in the image and get a better sense of when I've applied a good crop. I'll then go ahead and make adjustments. For example, dragging the top right corner inward. Notice that only that corner is moving inward. I'm able to adjust each corner individually, to fine tune the appearance fo the overall image. And what I want to do, ultimately, is to get the horizontal and vertical lines in the image, to align with the grid. Once the grid aligns with those lines in the photo, then I'll be able to apply the crop, straightening out the image in the process.
You can see that the left side and right side are not at the same height. And so I can drag the left side downward just a little bit so that the same position in this case I can reference the crosses at the top of the steeple for example. I want those at the same position relative to the grid. And then I'll just check over all. Make sure that the horizontal lines are aligning with the grid. I think I need to bring the bottom-right corner upward just a little bit for the crop, for example. Right about there looks good and I'll just continue checking all of the lines in the image. To make sure that all horizontal or vertical lines in the photos are aligned to the grid.
Now obviously in many cases you'll see some very abilities. So for example in the center, I won't have as much distortion as I do on the edges. So sometimes you might need to fine tune things or compromise just a little bit. I also want to crop out this building over on the left-hand side. So I'll drag the overall crop. Not one of the corners, but the left edge in this case, inward into the image. So I think right about there looks to be pretty well centered. And that looks to be, overall, a pretty good adjustment. So again, I'm trying to get the grid to match up with the lines in my image, so that I can figure out exactly what sort of adjustment is needed. Of course Photoshop does all the real work there. I think I've got a pretty good adjustment established here though, so I'll go ahead and click the commit button.
And Photoshop will crop and adjust the shape of the image, in order to realign the lines in the photo.

Butlers in the United States take home an average $50K annually. Some workers in this field — just over two-fifths — are not awarded benefits. Medical coverage is reported by the larger part and dental plans are enjoyed by just under one-half. Work is enjoyable for Butlers, who typically claim high levels of job satisfaction. The vast majority (85 percent) of Butlers who answered the questionnaire are male. Participants in PayScale's salary questionnaire provided the particulars of this report.

Butlers are also known as home managers, and the term is often interchangeable. They generally work for affluent families, celebrities, politicians, businessmen, and other upper-class people.Read More...
Butlers are often in charge of the household and generally oversee other household staff such as maids, chefs, chauffeurs, and gardeners, and also receive guests at the door. If the size of domestic staff is small, they may need to know how to make and serve drinks, including cocktails, wines, spirits, and other beverages. They may also be responsible for the inventory of foods/beverages and their employers' wine cellar. If the domestic staff is large, they may delegate these tasks to others.
Excellent communications skills are required for this position, as well as strong knowledge of social etiquette and formal service. Extensive working experience in hospitality is often preferred by employers. Butlers may work in all types of homes, from small to very large; in any case, they must be able to relieve their employers of their household duties, as well as maintain confidentiality and protect their employers' privacy.
Butlers must serve as leaders, as they generally oversee the entire domestic staff. They may also be responsible for staff-training and work scheduling. These positions do not usually require college degrees, though flexibility will be required, as their employers are often busy in the evenings and on weekends. Butlers may have to personally run these events or hire outside vendors to cater for them.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Butlers do not generally earn higher incomes from more experience in the field. Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $38K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $48K. Butlers see a median salary of $50K after reaching one to two decades on the job. Individuals who have achieved more than 20 years of experience don't seem to earn much more than people who have 10 to 20 years under their belts; the more senior group reports an average income of $51K.

FORMALDEHYDE. RADIOACTIVE CHEMICALS. BUG DROPPINGS. YOU WOULDN'T dare eat food laced with this stuff—heck, you'd probably alert the health department. And yet you may be sucking down these toxins, and a flurry of others, with every breath. "Most people aren't aware of the dangers of the air they breathe. The contaminants are often invisible, and the harmful effects may not be dramatic at first," says Anne Steinemann, Ph.D., a civil and environmental engineer at the University of Washington. "But exposures add up over time, and so does the damage."
In fact, a growing body of research suggests that airborne contaminants may impair your memory, weaken your sperm, and raise your risk of heart disease and cancer. Worse, your body has no internal smoke alarm to signal danger. So we've identified the biggest airborne enemies and outlined strategies to help you protect your lungs—and your life.
Get the latest information on fitness, sex, health, and nutriton with Men's Health News.
You're not the only one making babies in bed: Dust mites may be multiplying by the millions in your mattress and pillow. If you're allergic to them and their droppings (often found in dust) a noseful can trigger sneezing and watery eyes, says allergist James Sublett, M.D Allergic or not, there's a greater danger: In a University of Cincinnati study, mice that regularly inhaled dust mite debris had narrowed arteries in their lungs, a condition that can lead to heart failure.
Attack from all angles
To beat the bugs for good, you need to launch an all-out offensive. A recent study in Environmental Health Perspectives found that using mite-proof mattress cases, washing bed linens weekly in hot water, and intensively vacuuming and dry steam cleaning carpets and upholstery all helped slash dust mite counts by up to 95 percent. That takes care of the critters. Now tackle their feces and body fragments floating around the room: For an hour a day, run an air purifier with a prefilter and an electrostatic filter, such as the Ken-more Electrostatic Air Cleaner ($300, amazon.com). This can significantly lower levels of airborne mite particles, say Korean scientists.
AIRBORNE THREAT: Mold
You check your bread for mold, but how about your air? Aspergillus and Penicillium—the two most common indoor molds—fling out tiny spores and mycotoxins, which can penetrate deep into your lungs. Even nonallergic folks can experience wheeze-inducing nasal inflammation from inhaling Aspergillus particles, according to a recent study from Finland. Worst case: Fungi can lead to a life-threatening lung infection—made even scarier by the fact that molds are increasingly drug resistant.
Scrub, then supplement
Clorox alone won't cut it. Even dead mold can cause allergic flare-ups, EPA experts warn, so you need to kill and remove the fungal funk. If you spot a patch—check damp, dark areas—grab gloves, an N-95 respirator mask, and a stiff brush. Mix 1 cup of bleach into a gallon of water and scrub the area until no visible mold remains. Rinse with clean water and let the area dry completely. Bolster your internal defenses too: Scientists in South Carolina recently linked nasal mold infections to insufficient vitamin D levels. If you're on the low side (as most people are), a D3 supplement may ease your inflammatory response to mold spores, says Dr. Sublett. To determine your dose, ask your M.D. to perform a 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test.

If you spend hours holed up in your basement watching sports, you may be inhaling dangerous amounts of radon. The gas, formed when uranium in soil breaks down, seeps into your home through cracks in the foundation. "Its radioactive particles are deposited in sensitive areas of your lungs, where they can cause changes in your DNA that lead to lung cancer," says William Field, Ph.D, a professor of environmental health at the University of Iowa. In fact, the EPA estimates that radon is responsible for 21,000 U.S. lung cancer deaths every year.
Put your basement to the test
One in 15 American homes have dangerous levels of radon—and the farther north your latitude, the greater your risk may be. The reason: When the air outside is cold, heated indoor air rises, creating suction that can pull radon into your home. (Find out if you live in a high-risk zone at epa.gov/radon/zonemap.html.) Even if you're not in the Northeast or Midwest (where levels are notoriously high), you should test your home for the gas; there are no warning signs that it's invading your air, says Field. His recommendation: Buy a short-term radon test kit, and if the level is 4 pico-curies per liter (pCi/L) or higher, run a second test, since levels can vary from day to day. If the average of the two readings is 4 pCi/L or higher, call a certified radon reduction specialist.

I don't know how my friends would describe me haha I'm the friend that people call when they're having a bad day or want to get plans rolling. I love a good night out on the town or a bbq get together- bonfires are a must! I just love to have a good time. I think they would say I'm loyal, I'd go out on a limb for any of them if they needed it. I love to laugh and I like to think that I keep a happy outlook on things. My job surrounds talking to people all day so I guess you could say I'm a people person. I work hard- but working in human services allows me to help others on a daily basis so the time put in is pretty rewarding. I love to spend my down time with fam and friends although a lazy day at the movies or relaxing around the house is pretty necessary once in awhile. I enjoy being active- if I don't get my time in at the gym I rely on too much coffee which is never good for anyone haha Working with Seniors has taught me that any activity is better than none and will matter a lot down the road. I really want to get into hiking a bit more but for now I run and spend a lot of time with Shawn T. I'm pretty laid back or so they say and I really just go with the flow on things. Life's too short to be high maintenance but one needs to know what they want out of life and I'm determined to get there. I'm looking to meet someone new and to make some memories! I'm adventurous and spontaneous- love to get into new things and am pretty open minded!

The Doppler Effect. Cause and Effect. The Manning Effect. Yes, Peyton Manning has an effect on football teams, particularly the one he is playing for. With the signing of Manning the Denver Broncos were immediately considered a playoff team and some believe a Super Bowl contender. It's been noted that the unyielding dedication to improvement by Manning has inspired his teammates to elevate their own game and this is good news for Broncos Country. Wide receiver Eric Decker has more receiving yards and more receptions so far this year than he did all of last year and he's already notched eight touchdowns which was his total through 15 games last season. Total offensive production is up considerably from last year and it's putting fans on the edge of their seats. Most could attribute this to the glaring difference between Manning and former Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow but does the Manning Effect stop with the first string offense?… Read more
