Discover how to create a user experience that embodies utility, ease of use, and efficiency by identifying what people want from websites, how they search for information, and how to structure your content to take advantage of this. In this course, author Chris Nodder shows how to merge engineering, marketing, graphical and industrial design, and interface design to create a website that meets the needs of your customer, and is simple, elegant, and engaging. The course shows how to use graphics to help rather than hinder visitors, balance advertising and content, and integrate video, audio, and other media. Other tutorials consider the landing page experience and elements like contact forms from the visitor's perspective.
Heading and the subheadings are the highest level of the formatting within your page. They aren't just a way of splitting up chunks of text. As we saw earlier they are also the main things that people scan when they look over a page, so make sure that they are summaries of the content they contain. If you are having trouble thinking about what words to use in the headings and subheadings, just think about the words the people would such on to find this content and then use those words. Obviously, the content within each heading has to match with the words you choose. Try to never use more than three levels of headings on your pages.
If you find yourself using more, it's probably time to split that content out onto different pages and link back to it, using the topic page format like we described in the section on arranging your content, that's in Chapter 4. Another thing you can do to help visitors out is give them a summary of every page, so they can quickly work out whether they are in the right place. You often see this in News articles where the first paragraph is basically a condensed version of the whole story. It works in news articles, it works on blogs, and it also works on the information sites and ecommerce stores. These summaries are also used for the description text in search engine results.
And as the text you put on category pages within your site, to let people know what they can find within that category. So you write the summary once, but you use it in many places. When it comes to body text, you can borrow another technique from news sites. They use the inverted pyramid style of writing. This tells the whole story in the first paragraph, then expands on elements of the story bit by bit through the article. It was originally useful in print newspapers when the journalists didn't know how many column inches they would have for a story. They had to write so it didn't matter if the editor cutoff the last paragraphs.
From a reader's perspective, it means that people can stop at any point and still have the main story. Or carry on reading to get more and more detail. Using the inverted pyramid style online means starting with your conclusion. It's okay, even if you give the whole story away in the first sentence, people will probably carry on reading. They are after information, so they will keep working through the text, until they get to the level of detail they want. Giving them the conclusion at the beginning means they'll know whether they're in the right place within your site or not. After the conclusion, start explaining the most important facts at a high level.
This introduces the key points early, write in small chunks and give each new idea its own paragraph. After you have dealt with the facts, you can start giving more background detail. Now, remember in the previous section we told about by writing 50% less text than you would for printed material. If you've done your job well with the inverted pyramid, you can simply cut out the bottom half of your text and still give readers everything they need. Another way of reducing the amount of text is to use bulleted or numbered lists. Only use numbered lists, if you're detailing the steps that somebody should take to do something or listing the order or ranking of a set of items, otherwise, use plain bullets.
Eye Tracking stuies show that readers loves lists, their eyes are drawn to them. Make sure you put the keywords at the beginning of each list entry, and try to keep each entry relatively short. I mentioned links back in the Navigation section. But I want to reinforce something again here. Links standout on the page, because they're a different color and should be underlined. That means that they are a way of highlighting keywords, so they show up more. It really make sense to write information rich sentences and then just highlight the keywords to form your link text, rather than writing the text and adding a Click Here link at the end.
That Click Here text tells visitors nothing when they are scanning the page, whereas the keywords are most likely just what people are looking for. So, by using clear headings, an informative summary, and concise body text, you will help get your message across. Lists are a great way of making several points in quick succession with minimal space, and giving people informative link text, means they'll know quickly where to go next on your site, which keeps them engaged.

Only Solid State Amp I've heard that Sounds Like a Hybrid: The Texture and Warmth of Tubes, but Control, Power and Precision of the Very Best of SS!
Pros: Outstandingly Musical and Easy to Listen to for Hours. Fully Balanced (w/ 1/4" capability as well). Built Like a Br__house. Looks Fantastic
Cons: Sorry, None. It's too heavy? I can't even say that. This isn't Pandering either.
When I finally got to sit down with Alex Cavalli and hear his Liquid Lightning and Liquid Gold I had unreasonable expectations. I love a combination of tubes and solid state in my reference systems. The sonic pairing of the body and warmth of tubes with the speed and precision of solid state, when executed properly (or just the right complementary components) have delivered some of my favorite, most musically transparent listening sessions of my life, period. I'm talkin' from six-seven foot speaker towers and amps the size of lobster traps to the smallest of portable solutions: I'm a music freakin' addict. And while I don't always understand people who aren't as deeply into...(read more)

Quadro FX 540 and glReadPixels...
Hello :) ,
I work on a program which runs on different platforms (HP, SUN, Linux, IRIX). I use it though an XServer emulator (Exceed3D) from a Windows2000 PC.
All worked fine untill today when I used a Windows PC with Exceed3D and a Quadro FX 540. Now the glReadPixels function returns strange values such as shown by the following code:
glReadBuffer( GL_FRONT );
whitch return on a well working station :
z_picking = (0.6561477, 0.6561477, 0.6561477, 0.6561477, 0.6561399, 0.6561399, 0.6561399, 0.6561399, 0.6561399)
and on the nvidia PC :
z_picking = (-1.222404e+37, -1.222404e+37, -1.222404e+37, -1.222404e+37, -5.576056e+27, -5.576056e+27, -1.222404e+37, -5.576056e+27, -5.576056e+27)
The consequence is that I can't locate a point in my openGl scene using the gluUnProject function, and I musn't change it...
What am I doing wrong, or is there a problem with the driver? Thanks a lot for the time you'll spend answering me, and forgive my poor english ;)
Re: Quadro FX 540 and glReadPixels...
Up (nana2)
Re: Quadro FX 540 and glReadPixels...
The call looks ok, but the result suggests that the size of 'GL_FLOAT' is incorrectly
set/interpreted somewhere along the line, because the numbers look like 32-bit floats in 64-bit double spaces...
I normally only do GLReadPixels with GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE as type (which has
kept me out of trouble so far)
Re: Quadro FX 540 and glReadPixels...
Hi, you should be right but I've found it could be a bug from the driver or the openglLib...
Re: Quadro FX 540 and glReadPixels...
I'm surprised this problem still exists... Does any one have a solution?
Marc, I've tried different combinaisons of type, nothing changes...
Re: Quadro FX 540 and glReadPixels...
Any idea? :(

I still believe in the movies.
I've been described a lot of ways, most often as independent and reliable. My sense of humor is often described as " quirky". I think this is because I try not to take myself too seriously and consequently laugh at myself and my own antics more than anything else. I believe my soul mate is out there somewhere. She believes life is something you go out to meet and that experiences are best when shared with someone special. Romance is best when simple and from the heart. I think a midnight swim then sharing a warm blanket and a glass of wine is true romance. I try very hard not to let life's apparent risks and dangers obscure opportunities to see or learn something new. I try not sweat the small stuff. I like to think that I do a good job of putting things into perspective. I guess in a nutshell, I see life as a kind of amusement park ride were you can dial the thrill factor up or down depending on how you need at the time. What's most important is never losing site of the fact that you only get to ride once, you might as well do something truly great for your soul while riding. A couple of serious notes; if you smoke more than 2 or 3 cigarettes a day I'm probably not the one for you, also while I'm all about washing my hands and keeping myself and my home clean I have to be honest and tell you i find excesive fixation on germs and cleanliness to be a big turnoff.

Commonwealth Games: Fiji threatens boycott
Published on Mar 25, 2014 5:03 PM
SUVA, Fiji (AFP) - Fiji is threatening to boycott this year's Glasgow Commonwealth Games after being told its high-profile rugby sevens side cannot take part, the Pacific island nation's sports chief warned on Tuesday.
It comes just 10 days after Fiji was readmitted to the Games fold, ending years of isolation following a 2006 military coup.
But the return was approved after the draw for Glasgow was completed, with the qualification rules making no provision for late entries. The Fiji netball team has been shut out for the same reason.
Fiji are one of the biggest drawcards in world rugby sevens, winning Commonwealth silver in 1998 and 2002 and claiming bronze in Melbourne in 2006, the last time they competed in the event.

Russia coach Guus Hiddink will not lead another team to the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™, the Dutchman has revealed.
Hiddink, who does not expect a decision on his future to be made until the new year, has also revealed his disappointment at Russia missing out on the finals after losing out in a play-off to Slovenia on away goals. He also admitted he could not watch the draw for the FIFA World Cup finals.
The 63-year-old, who has been linked with South Africa, Argentina and also Turkey who have not qualified for the finals, told Russian daily Sport Express: "My working relationships with my employers have always been based on the principles of plain speaking and honesty.
"And in this way I can say for sure that I haven't signed contracts with anybody, nor have I even held any talks, neither with clubs nor federations. I won't hide the fact that many have wanted to hold talks. But I have declined them all."
I won't hide the fact that many have wanted to hold talks. But I have declined them all.
Hiddink, who reached the finals with his native Netherlands, Korea Republic and Australia, added: "I was so disappointed that our side didn't reach South Africa that watching the draw would have caused me real pain.
"For the whole time that has passed since the match in Maribor I haven't been able to do much in general. The feelings of devastation and disappointment have been colossal. I haven't been to another game since. It has been too unbearable after what happened. These have been very hard days for me."
Hiddink prefers to stay in the background as coaches lead the teams they qualified with into the finals. He said: "Almost all the sides that came through the qualifying stages with their own coaches will be going with them to South Africa. But even if one or another federation were to offer me (the chance) to take charge of their national side for the World Cup, I would refuse. That would only be possible if I had made it through with the team I was in charge of during the qualifiers."
Elections to appoint a successor to Vitaly Mutko, the outgoing president of the Russian Football Association (RFS), are expected to take place at the end of the year. Hiddink also revealed that only once the new man was in place would there be any discussions over his future in Russia.
"I have plenty of time to think about the future and reach the correct decision regarding future work in Russia," he added. "My contract expires at the end of June, which I intend to see through to the end and only then sort out my plans.
"The elections for the RFS presidency take place soon, and at the moment this issue, and consequently the direction of the future development of Russian football, remains unclear. This means there is little I can do for now except wait."

We're excited to announce that Awesomeness Fest West 2015 will be returning to none other than the birthplace of Awesomeness Fest, the place where it first began back in 2010… Costa Rica!
"You need to be in a state of learning in order to solve new problems; create new possibilities; to do something that hasn't been done a million times before."
Lisa Nichols asks really challenging questions in this 5 minute snippet from Awesomeness Fest.
In his 1-hour talk from Awesomeness Fest, Philip McKernan explains how we are conditioned to strive toward goals based on what our mind believes we "should" be doing, rather than following the pathway our intuition is trying to pave toward living a happy and an authentic life.
Kyle Cease, the comedian who was ranked #1 on Comedy Central's Standup Showdown 2009, competes with Lisa Nichols to see who can better describe Mindvalley's Awesomeness Fest. Hilarious. Not safe for kids. Or many adults.
The following was a memo sent by Vishen Lakhiani to the Mindvalley Team on July 24 2014. It reveals some of the beliefs about social responsibility that we share as a company. It also shares Vishen's views on why traditional charities don't work as well, and crowd-sourced solutions like XPRIZE have the potential to create far more lasting change.

Does 'Marching' Digitally Send A Message?
By Staff
As thousands of people gathered in the nation's capital to mark the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, many more activists participated online. Host Michel Martin talks about social justice in the digital age with Michael Skolnik of Global Grind and Corey Dade of The Root.

Attorney general candidate Pam Bucy and her friends are attacking Tim Fox because he wants to stand up for Montanans.
Bucy must think it's OK that Obamacare will hurt senior citizens with $718 billion in Medicare cuts. Those cuts come from gutting Medicare Advantage and cutting provider reimbursements (at a time when many doctors are already capping or even refusing Medicare patients due to low reimbursement rates).
For all her talk about "consumer protection," Bucy doesn't seem to mind that, for the first time in our nation's history, the federal government is forcing people to purchase a private product.
Bucy doesn't appear to care that the government's newly established (and unelected) Independent Payment Advisory Board and the call for using Comparative Effectiveness Research are tools for rationing health care. If you think a government with as much debt as ours won't need to begin rationing health care at some point, you're not paying attention.
The attorney general has many jobs, and defending Montanans against these and other assaults is one of them. Tim Fox has my vote.

One race that doesn't get too much attention is the one for Public Service commissioner.
It is very important to pay attention to this one especially if you have an electric bill to pay every month.
Ever since Gov. Marc Racicot and his lieutenant governors, Dennis Rehberg and Judy Martz, sang the deregulation of electricity song in Montana back in the 1990s, the work of a Public Service commissioner became even more important for anyone who uses electricity, hence, all of us. Part of a commissioner's job is discerning how much it is going to cost to fry your bacon and eggs in the morning, and how much it's going to cost to turn on the air conditioner in the summer or the heat in the winter. After deregulation, the job got even trickier because a commissioner has to balance both the needs of the consumer's ability to pay and the electric company's ability to provide reliable service and earn a fair profit.
I'm supporting Chuck Tooley for Public Service commissioner. He got plenty of experience as mayor of Billings dealing with tough issues and has a proven record for being fair. He's also been a board member of the Montana Electric and Gas Alliance and is well versed in the myriad of issues. As a bonus, he is a nice guy who is smart and knows how to listen and figure out solutions to problems.
Chuck knows the job of commissioner is not a matter of profits before people but involves both people and profits. Being a Public Service commissioner is a balancing act that I think Chuck could walk. Please join me and vote for Chuck Tooley for Public Service commissioner.

Do you wonder why a political campaign against Rick Hill has a need to attempt to impugn his judgment and intentions by relating to past situations taken out of context with the circumstances at the time? The truth is in understanding his thoroughly considered well organized policies developed for Montana.
Responsible government provides a working environment that allows progress in education, property tax reform, agriculture, energy and natural resources, conservation values, limiting federal over-reach, Second Amendment rights, and protection of the future, all of which will enhance the economy.
Space allows only a sample of many policies. Efficient administration will use priority budgeting by evaluating state programs based on performance. By elimination of certain government interference caused by excessive regulations, energy and natural resources can be more developed with use of new technologies while recognizing conservation values. The revenue would allow for increased funding to revitalize education and give property tax relief.
Additional information pertaining to policies may be found at www.rickhillforgovernor.com.

I recently Googled "stock market results under Democrats and Republicans."
Every source that came up verified the same conclusion.
Then, I searched for the historical growth of national debt to compare the two parties. Everything below can easily be verified online, and I encourage readers to do so.
Between 1929 and 2008, D's and R's had nearly 40 years of presidency each. If someone invested $10,000 (S&P Index) only during the GOP years, it would have grown to only $11,733. Exclude Herbert Hoover's reign, and the number increases to $51,211.
Compare those numbers to $300,671. That is the Democratic total, resulting from a compound rate of 8.9 percent. Since 2008, the market has rebounded under another Democrat, erasing the losses of the Bush era.
Regarding the "Gross Federal Debt," the following percentages represent the "increase" in debt during the tenure of each president:
Reagan – 218 percent; Bush – 55 percent; Clinton – 37 percent; Bush W. – 86 percent; Obama – 34 percent.
The debt-to-GDP ratio is a better measure of economic health than raw debt figures alone. Under the five Democratic presidents from Truman through Clinton, ALL reduced public debt as a share of GDP whereas the last four Republican presidents ALL oversaw an increase in the USA's indebtedness (Wikipedia, Economist Mike Kimel).
Finally, 42 million jobs were created in the last six terms with a Democratic president in charge, 18 million more than Republicans produced in their last seven terms. Lately, Republicans have kept millions out of work trying to put one man out of a job!

I am sure we are tired and frustrated with all the political attack ads in the media and look forward to voting and putting election day behind us.
That's why this is not an attack letter. I am writing in support of Chuck Tooley, who is running for Public Service commissioner. Chuck is a man of professionalism, objectivity, intelligence and integrity. As Billings' longest serving mayor, Chuck was an example of level-headed leadership under challenging conditions.
As mayor, he was directly involved in regulating the Public Utilities Division. He understands energy issues. One of his sterling qualities is being able to evaluate all the facts from all sides in a professional, calm and fair manner.
Chuck Tooley doesn't hold the record of Billings' longest serving mayor by accident. Voters believed in him because they trusted and respected him and his expertise. It is a breath of fresh air to know that, as Montana residents and consumers, we can truly trust Chuck Tooley to protect and represent us.
The Public Service Commission is a five-member board that regulates private utilities such as electric, telephone, gas, sewer and water companies. The PSC has been in the headlines recently due to dissension amongst its commissioners. Chuck Tooley is the right choice for professional, calm, fair leadership of the PSC.
I have known Chuck Tooley for over 28 years. Let's not miss our opportunity to elect Chuck Tooley on Nov. 6, 2012.

I am supporting Kim Gillan for Congress. Kim has been a friend of my family for many years. She is truly concerned for the well-being of the middle class, including small business owners and wage earners.
Kim stood up against gender discrimination when she opposed using gender to set insurance rates and retirement plan benefits. National studies show that women pay higher rates when gender is used to determine premiums.
In her 16 years as a Montana legislator, Kim Gillan has approached leadership with trusted statesmanship and a willingness to listen and work with lawmakers on both side of the aisle.
Examples of this are the innovative graduated driver's license bill that passed with broad-based support and the recent anti-bullying bill. While serving on the taxation committee, Kim demonstrated her ability to get things done with a clear understanding of the economics that make a healthy economy.
We need someone in Washington who understands the needs of hard-working Montanans and will work for us. Kim Gillan is the working family's choice for U.S. Congress.

Power 2.0 Winter Jacket
Issue : Dec 2013
Editorial Review
Gore's Windstopper fabric guarded against arctic blasts, helping to make this the warmest of our three finalists. Our testers also praised how well the jacket sealed out drizzling rain and melting snow. The three rear pockets are large enough to let you retrieve an energy bar while wearing thick gloves. A zippered fourth pocket holds electronics. Stretchy cuffs helped keep drafts out of our sleeves and the jacket's tall collar was comfortable whether we rode with or without a neck gaiter. We also appreciated the smart details, like reflective accents and a front zipper that never chafed our chin. The generous cut leaves space for you to pile on layers underneath, but the jacket is warm enough that you won't need many.

Singer and actor JorDan Miller will present his latest one-man cabaret concert "The Broadway Leading Man" at The Arthur Newman Theatre on August 7th at 2 PM. The show will feature songs made famous by such legends as Howard Keel, John Raitt, Robert Goulet, and Mario Lanza, along with some Broadway history and stories from Miller's own theatrical career.

Decent spot for lunch.
I had Lamb shank. It was really nice. Cooked well. Came with sweet potato mash but no veg which I found unusual.
The steaks looked awesome. Through one friend asked for medium rare and got well done (a waiter error more than kitchen error we think)
Recommend it for a working lunch. Or just a good lunch.more
Nice bar at the bottom of Heron Tower but you need a BIG credit card if you intend to stay for more than one drink!more
They get 1 star for stocking Sierra Nevada, but the service here is truly terrible.
We were left waiting time and time again to order drinks and they don't even wipe down the tables between courses!
The aesthetic of this place is ok, but all in all it doesn't work as a cohesive restaurant dining experience.

Walked by this place after drinks in the City, and it was just so buzzing and popular that we had to pop in for a drink. It was entirely packed on the ground floor, so we went upstairs to get a better shot at the bar. The wait was long, but it was only because everyone around us was ordering fancy cocktails... the strawberry and lavender mojito looked amazing and was served in a jar, and for 8...more
It is at the bottom of Heron Tower and definitely doesn't have the glam of the two restaurants at the top of the tower - Sushi Samba and Duck and Waffle. It wasn't easy to find either, because it is to the side of the building. It belongs to the same chain that operates Folly, the Anthologist etc. It has the same look and feel to it - high ceilings, benches and floral design. I went there for...more

Some Columbus school districts are beginning a process that is both smart and useful. These districts are moving ever so slowly away from fiction and adding more nonfiction reading to their curriculum.
Officials from the Canal Winchester Middle School, located in a Columbus suburb, said students used to spend about 10 percent of classroom lessons on nonfiction. It's up to 25 percent now.
One of the biggest catalysts for change has been Ohio's new achievement test, which asks students to read passages, respond and write short answers to essay questions. According to one teacher, more than 50 percent of the reading on the test is nonfiction.
We have never subscribed to the theory that teachers should "teach to the test." But, expanding the amount of nonfiction students are reading helps them become better critical thinkers. Being able to interpret and assess information is an invaluable skill in this ever-changing world. Anyone can memorize things from a textbook, but understanding practical applications and problem-solving is still a prized skill.
Nonfiction reading can also be used to supplement textbook material. For example, one Columbus teacher used a book on weather and hurricanes in science class. Seeing the effect in the "real world" can make a clinical, textbook explanation come alive.
In addition and just as importantly in a world increasingly connected through a global economy, it is crucial America's youth understand what is happening in the world around them. Starting that process with increased nonfiction reading in schools be it newspapers, magazines or books is a good place to start, and something school districts across the state and country should incorporate.

It's great place to enjoy 360 degree view around Yokohama city. The breakfast was enjoyable even limited selection for western style. I recommend the morning visit especially clear sky day.
I went to Sirius with my wife for our anniversary. The service and food were really good and the views of the city and beyond made it even more special. Alittle pricey but worth it for a speical occasion.
I have been to Sirius for lunch twice. The first time I went there was with my sister and mom to celebrate my mom's birthday. That time, we got a special mini hamburger and a shrimp dish each which I thought was a nice add-on to the pricey buffet. The waitress also came over and took our picture which was...
Though I have stayed in the hotel several times, I have opted the breakfast options every time due to its high cost. As I am on short trip this round (I was only staying in the hotel for 3 days), hence, I opted for the breakfast option for this trip.
Firstly, if you are going alone, by default, you will...
Great views.
Unimpressive food.
Pleasant live music.

Israel resumed air strikes in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday after agreeing to an Egyptian-proposed ceasefire deal that failed to get Hamas militants to halt rocket attacks.
The week-old conflict seemed to be at a turning point, with Hamas defying Arab and Western calls to cease fire and Israel threatening to step up an offensive that could include an invasion of the densely populated enclave of 1.8 million.
Under a blueprint announced by Egypt - Gaza's neighbor and whose military-backed government has been at odds with Islamist Hamas - a mutual "de-escalation" was to have begun at 9 a.m. (0600 GMT), with hostilities ceasing within 12 hours.
Hamas' armed wing, the Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades, rejected the ceasefire deal, a proposal that addressed in only general terms some of its key demands, and said its battle with Israel would "increase in ferocity and intensity".
But Moussa Abu Marzouk, a Hamas political official who was in Cairo, said the movement, which is seeking a deal that would ease the Egyptian and Israeli border restrictions throttling Gaza's economy, had made no final decision on Cairo's proposal.
The Israeli military said that since the ceasefire deal was to have gone into effect, Hamas had fired 123 rockets at Israel, one killing a civilian - the first Israeli fatality in the fighting.
A Palestinian civilian was killed in an air strike in Khan Younis, raising the death toll in the Gaza Strip in eight days of fighting to 188, including at least 150 civilians, among them 31 children, according to Gaza medical officials.
Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile system intercepted 20 of the Hamas projectiles, including two over the Tel Aviv area, and the rest caused no damage or casualties.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack against Israel's commercial capital, which has been targeted frequently since the war began, as well as for the rocket that killed the Israeli man along the border.
Six hours after implementation of the truce was to have begun, and citing the persistent salvoes, Israel resumed attacks in Gaza. The military said it targeted at least 20 of Hamas's hidden rocket launchers, tunnels and weapons storage facilities.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in broadcast remarks late on Tuesday that Israel had no choice but to "expand and intensify" its campaign on Hamas, though he did not specifically mention the possibility of a ground incursion.
The Iron Dome has shot down most projectiles liable to hit Israeli towns and cities, but the rocket salvoes have made a rush to shelters a daily routine for hundreds of thousands of people across the country.
The surge in hostilities over the past week was prompted by the murder last month of three Jewish seminary students in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and the revenge killing on July 2 of a Palestinian youth in Jerusalem. Israel said on Monday three Jews in police custody had confessed to killing the Palestinian.
Sirens sounded on Tuesday in areas up to 80 miles north of the Gaza Strip.
Speaking in Vienna, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry supported Israel: "I cannot condemn strongly enough the actions of Hamas in so brazenly firing rockets, in multiple numbers, in the face of a goodwill effort (to secure) a ceasefire."
Netanyahu, whose security cabinet voted 6-2 earlier on Tuesday to accept the truce, had cautioned that Israel would respond strongly if rockets continued to fly.
He said he expected the "full support from the responsible members of the international community" for any intensification of Israeli attacks in response to Hamas spurning a truce.
Earlier, Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman in Gaza, said that demands the movement has made must be met before it lays down its weapons.
Other Palestinian militant groups - Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine - also said they had not yet agreed to the Egyptian offer.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, author and musician Garrick Chow reviews GarageBand for the Apple iPad—an inexpensive yet powerful app that allows you to record and edit music with both real and virtual instruments. The course begins with a tour around the interface, examining the instrument and track views. Garrick demonstrates how to play both touch instruments and Smart Instruments, as well as how to connect and use real instruments and microphones. Garrick then explains how to build, record, and edit a song from scratch, and how to then export and share your music with iTunes, Facebook, YouTube, SoundCloud, email, and with other devices.
If you're a Mac user and you have GarageBand installed and perhaps you felt like you have taken GarageBand on the iPad to its limits, you will be happy to know you can transfer your projects from the iPad to your Mac, and continue working on them from there where you will have access to much more powerful editing tools. Let's take a look at how this works. So here on my iPad is my mix in progress. I am going to go to My Songs, and before I send this over to my Mac, I am going to get rid of this generic name of My Song and I'll just change this into something more descriptive like My Masterpiece.
Okay, so I want to send this project over to my Mac. So I am going to tap Edit, select the song and here I'll tap the Share button and here I'll tap Share Song Via iTunes. Now it's going to give me a choice, do I want to send this to iTunes or to GarageBand. I'll talk about the iTunes option in the next movie. I am going to tap GarageBand because I want to continue editing it. So I saw that progress bar very briefly saying it was sending it to iTunes. I'll tap Done and now I'll switch over to my Mac.
On the Mac, I am going to open iTunes and select my iPad, and then I am going to go to Apps, scroll down, and here under File Sharing, I am going to select GarageBand, and you can see My Masterpiece is currently available here. I'll select that and choose to save that to my Desktop. It copies it over, I can quit iTunes and you can see here is My Masterpiece.band. That is a GarageBand file. So by double-clicking that, I can launch GarageBand.
Now GarageBand is going to ask me to save this project as another file because it's going to create a GarageBand for the Mac version of the file. That way I can use that file as a backup if I ever need to move the file back to my iPad to edit. I'll leave the name as My Masterpiece 2 and just save it to my Desktop, and here's the song in GarageBand. You can see it has the exact same tracks, I've got the Electric Piano, the Drum kit, Tambourine, the Guitar, Bass, the Reverse Cymbal, and the Synthesizer file we turned into a real audio region, and it even sounds the same.
(music playing) So all the tracks are there, but unlike the iPad version of GarageBand where I have almost maxed out all of my tracks, I can continue adding dozens of more tracks here if I want to add more instruments, and I have access to many more features here for editing and adjusting my mix. For example, if I go to the Track menu and choose to show the Master Track here in GarageBand, you can see this is actually an automation curve here that put in that ten second fade at the end of the song that we added in the previous chapter.
You can listen to that. Actually I am going to turn off the cycle region, so it doesn't repeat at the end of the song here. (music playing) So that's where the fade begins and we have that ten second fade. And if you recall in GarageBand on the iPad, we really had no choice, we only could choose a ten second fade or no fade at all, but here in GarageBand for the Mac I can come in here and move some of those points around to reduce the amount of time the fade takes.
I can even press the Delete key to get rid of some of these points, and just make it a more rapid fade at the end here. (music playing) So that's just one example of the many ways you can take your mixes further and add more dimensions using GarageBand on the Mac.
