Annuities How an annuity works
What is an annuity?
Quite simply, an annuity is a financial product which provides you with an income for life in return for a lump sum.
Annuity rates are set by insurance companies and typically expressed as a sum per £10,000 or £100,000 of lump sum. So, for example, a 65-year-old man might be quoted an annuity rate of, say £700 income for every £10,000 lump sum.
The major drawback of an annuity is once you've handed the money over you can't get it back, and if you die soon after buying the annuity then the income you receive won't be anywhere near the amount you have paid in. However, there are steps you can take to protect yourself.
Who needs to buy an annuity?
Anyone who has a lump sum and wants to convert this into an income can buy an annuity, but most people come across annuities for the first time when they're coming up to retirement and need to convert part of their pension fund into an income.
You'll need to buy an annuity with funds from any personal pensions, stakeholder pensions and most money-purchase employer schemes. The type of annuity you buy with your pension fund money is called a compulsory purchase annuity. We also refer to these as pension annuities.
If you belong to an employer's final salary scheme, your pension is usually paid directly from the scheme so you don't have to think about getting an annuity. With some money purchase pension schemes from employers, the pension trustees may buy an annuity for you. Find out what your options are from your scheme manager.
A level or an increasing income from my annuity?
To work this out you will need to decide whether or not you want your income to increase each year. You can buy an annuity that increases with inflation, or one that's set to rise by a fixed percentage each year. Alternatively, opt for a level annuity, which will provide exactly the same income each year.
Single or joint life annuity?
The next decision is whether you want an annuity that covers you alone, or an annuity that protects your partner as well.
A single life annuity pays you an income until you die, but if you're part of a couple and die first, this could mean that your partner is left short of money. A joint life annuity continues to pay some or all of the annuity income to your partner when you die.
There are of course some trade-offs for a joint annuity's extra provision. Because a joint life annuity will continue to be paid after you are dead, the rates offered are lower. The higher the proportion of your annuity income that you choose to be paid after your death, the lower the initial income paid by your annuity.
And if your partner is younger than you, the insurance company will offer a lower annuity rate, as they expect to be paying out the annuity for longer.
Annuity guarantees
Where an annuity has a guarantee period, it will be paid out for a set time period, usually five or 10 years, even if you die during that time. If you do die during the annuity's guarantee period, the payments may continue as an income to your survivor(s) for the remainder of the annuity period, or sometimes can be rolled into a lump sum.
An annuity with a guarantee is sometimes seen as a substitute for a joint life annuity. But it's not the same, as the maximum annuity guarantee period is only 10 years. As a result, an annuity guarantee won't fully protect your dependants in the long-term.

Automated Image Capture for Canon Digital Cameras
The objective of this project is to automate the process of taking high dynamic range (HDR) images using a conventional low dynamic range (LDR) camera. An HDR image is able to capture a much higher level of detail than a LDR image, as it is able to capture a much wider dynamic range of intensities than a regular LDR image is able to. To obtain a HDR image from a standard digital camera, a series of pictures must be taken at a variety of shutter speeds. This can be achieved through the use of a microcontroller to send appropriate commands to the camera.
Our project automates this process so that the user simply utilizes the remote control unit (RCU) to take pictures and then once the camera is done working, the user can download the cameras to their PC to use our GUI to perform the image processing to produce a final HDR picture.

Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek) takes on the lead role of Thor in director Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of the popular comic book. Now, the first still has made its way to the web.
Thor landed the prime release date of May 6, 2011, which it means it will have the honor of kicking off the summer movie season next year. Paramount, the film's distributor, found great success in that release period with 2008's Iron Man, and they'll also do quite well with Iron Man 2 on May 7.

Earlier this week I chronicled the backlash against Jim Yong Kim, President Obama's nominee to run the World Bank. That has continued, including a critique from a close pal of Larry Summers:
Larry Summers has been unnaturally silent on President Obama's surprise decision to pass him over for the World Bank presidency in favor of Dartmouth University president and public health hero Jim Yong Kim. Well, one of Summers' closest chums at Harvard's Kennedy School, Lant Pritchett, has now gone public with a scorching blast at Kim. Pritchett told Forbes magazine, "It's an embarrassment to the U.S. You cannot with a straight face say this person is the most qualified to lead the World Bank."
It was Pritchett, while working under Summers at the World Bank in 1991, who drafted the embarrassing memo that Summers signed on the supposed economic benefits of exporting polluting industries to third world countries. Pritchett later contended that the leaked parts of the memo were doctored to omit his ironic intent. The full memo never surfaced. Pritchett took the fall for Summers' embarrassment when he was up for the presidency of Harvard. So, it's fair to say these senior and junior colleagues are close.
Now, it's possible that Pritchett went public with his startling comments about Dr. Kim without Larry Summers' consent or knowledge. It's also possible that subprime bonds are a terrific investment, and that the Red Sox will sweep this year's World Series.
Pritchett's critique comes from a place of perceived authority. Kim isn't a member of the economics club, and therefore is unworthy. If that doesn't sum up Larry Summers' worldview…
Dr. Kim himself has spoken out in a Financial Times op-ed, articulating his vision for the World Bank, which has substantial responsibility in global development rather than simply finance. [cont'd.]
My own life and work have led me to believe that inclusive development – investing in human beings – is an economic and moral imperative. I was born in South Korea when it was still recovering from war, with unpaved roads and low levels of literacy. I have seen how integration with the global economy can transform a poor country into one of the most dynamic and prosperous economies in the world. I have seen how investment in infrastructure, schools and health clinics can change lives. And I recognise that economic growth is vital to generate resources for investment in health, education and public goods.
Every country must follow its own path to growth, but our collective mission must be to ensure that a new generation of low and middle-income countries enjoys sustainable economic growth that generates opportunities for all citizens.
What a scrub! What an economic illiterate!
Kim also promises to give developing nations a "greater voice" in the World Bank's affairs. This is his true opposition for the position, not the taunts of Summers' pals. Kim will have to win a majority of the World Bank board to get the position, and a number of emerging countries are forwarding their own candidates. It's very likely that Kim will win, however, much to the chagrin, apparently, of Larry Summers. Wahh wahh wahh.

- Effect of color superconductivity on the mass and radius of a quark star (2003)
- We compare quark stars made of color-superconducting quark matter to normal-conducting quark stars. We focus on the most simple color-superconducting system, a two-flavor color superconductor, and employ the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model to compute the gap parameter and the equation of state. By varying the strength of the four-fermion coupling of the NJL model, we study the mass and the radius of the quark star as a function of the value of the gap parameter. If the coupling constant exceeds a critical value, the gap parameter does not vanish even at zero density. For coupling constants below this critical value, mass and radius of a color-superconducting quark star change at most by ca. 20% compared to a star consisting of normal-conducting quark matter. For coupling constants above the critical value mass and radius may change by factors of two or more.
- Hydrodynamics near a chiral critical point (2003)
- We introduce a model for the real-time evolution of a relativistic fluid of quarks coupled to non-equilibrium dynamics of the long wavelength (classical) modes of the chiral condensate. We solve the equations of motion numerically in 3+1 spacetime dimensions. Starting the evolution at high temperature in the symmetric phase, we study dynamical trajectories that either cross the line of first-order phase transitions or evolve through its critical endpoint. For those cases, we predict the behavior of the azimuthal momentum asymmetry for highenergy heavy-ion collisions at nonzero impact parameter.
- In-medium vector meson masses in a chiral SU(3) model (2003)
- A significant drop of the vector meson masses in nuclear matter is observed in a chiral SU(3) model due to the e ects of the baryon Dirac sea. This is taken into account through the summation of baryonic tadpole diagrams in the relativistic Hartree approximation. The appreciable decrease of the in-medium vector meson masses is due to the vacuum polarisation e ects from the nucleon sector and is not observed in the mean field approximation.
- Charm coalescence at relativistic energies (2003)
- The J/psi yield at midrapidity at the top RHIC (relativistic heavy ion collider) energy is calculated within the statistical coalescence model, which assumes charmonium formation at the late stage of the reaction from the charm quarks and antiquarks created earlier in hard parton collisions. The results are compared to the new PHENIX data and to predictions of the standard models, which assume formation of charmonia exclusively at the initial stage of the reaction and their subsequent suppression. Two versions of the suppression scenario are considered. One of them assumes gradual charmonium suppression by comovers, while the other one supposes that the suppression sets in abruptly due to quark-gluon plasma formation. Surprisingly, both versions give very similar results. In contrast, the statistical coalescence model predicts a few times larger J/psi yield in the most central collisions.
- Dynamics of strange, charm and high momentum hadrons in relativistic nucleus nucleus collisions (2003)
- We investigate hadron production and attenuation of hadrons with strange and charm quarks (or antiquarks) as well as high transverse momentum hadrons in relativistic nucleus-nucleus col- lisions from 2 A·GeV to 21.3 A·TeV within two independent transport approaches (UrQMD and HSD). Both transport models are based on quark, diquark, string and hadronic degrees of freedom, but do not include any explicit phase transition to a quark-gluon plasma. From our dynamical calculations we find that both models do not describe the maximum in the K+/ + ratio at 20 - 30 A·GeV in central Au+Au collisions found experimentally, though the excitation functions of strange mesons are reproduced well in HSD and UrQMD. Furthermore, the transport calculations show that the charmonium recreation by D + J/ + meson reactions is comparable to the dissociation by comoving mesons at RHIC energies contrary to SPS energies. This leads to the final result that the total J/ suppression as a function of centrality at RHIC should be less than the suppression seen at SPS energies where the comover dissociation is substantial and the backward channels play no role. Furthermore, our transport calculations in comparison to exper- imental data on transverse momentum spectra from pp, d+Au and Au+Au reactions show that pre-hadronic e ects are responsible for both the hardening of the hadron spectra for low transverse momenta (Cronin e ect) as well as the suppression of high pT hadrons. The mutual interactions of formed hadrons are found to be negligible in central Au+Au collisions at s = 200 GeV for pT e 6 GeV/c and the sizeable suppression seen experimentally is attributed to a large extent to the interactions of leading pre-hadrons with the dense environment.
- Color screening and the suppression of the charmonium state yield in nuclear reactions (2003)
- We discuss the new data for the production of the psi meson in pA collisions at 450 GeV at CERNSPS (of the NA50-collaboration) [1]. We extract from the CERN data sigma(psi'N) 8 mb under the assumption that the psi is produced as a result of the space-time evolution of a point-like c¯c pair which expands with time to the full size of the charmonium state. In the analysis we assume the existence of a relationship between the distribution of color in a hadron and the cross section of its interaction with a nucleon. However, our result is rather sensitive to the pattern of the expansion of the wave packet and significantly larger values of sigma(psi'N)are not ruled out by the data. We show that recent CERN data confirm the suggestion of ref. [2] that color fluctuations of the strengths in charmonium-nucleon interaction are the major source of suppression of the J/psi yield as observed at CERN in both pA and AA collisions.
- Model dependence of lateral distribution functions of high energy cosmic ray air showers (2003)
- The influence of high and low energy hadronic models on lateral distribution functions of cosmic ray air showers for Auger energies is explored. A large variety of presently used high and low energy hadron interaction models are analysed and the resulting lateral distribution functions are compared. We show that the slope depends on both the high and low energy hadronic model used. The models are confronted with available hadron-nucleus data from accelerator experiments.
- Mass modification of D-meson in hot hadronic matter (2003)
- We evaluate the in-medium D and -meson masses in hot hadronic matter induced by interactions with the light hadron sector described in a chiral SU(3) model. The e ective Lagrangian approach is generalized to SU(4) to include charmed mesons. We find that the D-mass drops substantially at finite temperatures and densities, which open the channels of the decay of the charmonium states ( 2, c, J/ ) to D pairs in the thermal medium. The e ects of vacuum polarisations from the baryon sector on the medium modification of the D-meson mass relative to those obtained in the mean field approximation are investigated. The results of the present work are compared to calculations based on the QCD sum-rule approach, the quark-meson coupling model, chiral perturbation theory, as well as to studies of quarkonium dissociation using heavy quark potential from lattice QCD.
- Effects of Dirac sea polarization on hadronic properties : a Chiral SU(3) approach (2003)
- Abstract: The e ect of vacuum fluctuations on the in-medium hadronic properties is investigated using a chiral SU(3) model in the nonlinear realization. The e ect of the baryon Dirac sea is seen to modify hadronic properties and in contrast to a calculation in mean field approximation it is seen to give rise to a significant drop of the vector meson masses in hot and dense matter. This e ect is taken into account through the summation of baryonic tadpole diagrams in the relativistic Hartree approximation (RHA), where the baryon self energy is modified due to interactions with both the non-strange ( ) and the strange ( ) scalar fields.
- Re-visit the N/Z ratio of free nucleons from collisions of neutron-rich nuclei as a probe of EoS of asymmetric nuclear matter (2003)
- The N/Z ratio of free nucleons from collisions of neutron-rich nuclei as a function of their momentum is studied by means of Isospin dependent Quantum Molecular Dynamics. We find that this ratio is not only sensitive to the form of the density dependence of the symmetry potential energy but also its strength determined by the symmetry energy coe cient. The uncertainties about the symmetry energy coe cient influence the accuracy of probing the density dependence of the symmetry energy by means of the N/Z ratio of free nucleons of neutron-rich nuclei.

Our third Workplace Guide is designed to equip organisations with the resources they need to understand the nature of anti-gay bullying and harassment, the legal obligation for employers and the impact this type of discrimination can have on individual staff members.
The guide deals with the following topics:
Employers are legally obliged to protect their employees from bullying and harassment. All staff have been further protected since 2003 from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation.
However, even in the most progressive workplaces, where anti-bullying policies and procedures may be clear and established, lesbian and gay staff may still face barriers when it comes to reporting homophobic bullying and harassment. Bullying which goes unchecked will have a negative impact on the wider organisation as well as on the individual.
In addition to being legally required, robust protection of gay staff from bullying and harassment benefits workplace relations, employee retention and an organisation's productivity and reputation.
Stonewall has produced this guide to illustrate practical and achievable ways in which anti-gay bullying can be prevented. It examines how organisations can discourage bullying and harassment of gay staff, and also how gay staff can be encouraged to report bullying if it does occur. We hope you find the guide helpful on both counts.
I would like to thank the Stonewall Diversity Champions who gave us invaluable insights into their processes for tackling anti-gay bullying and harassment. Their experience shows that we can all work towards preventing this harmful practice.
Chief Executive, Stonewall

I attended the Webby Awards for the third time last night and enjoyed the irreverent evening as always. I continue to find the exact purpose of the ceremony rather vague -- exactly what kind of online innovation do the Webbys encourage when SelleckWaterfallSandwich gets the same trophy as TCP/IP inventor Vinton Cerf? I suppose the Streamys have adopted a more focused direction by emphasizing web video, but I live in New York, which means I'm a Webbys guy by default.
I do admire the almost childlike glee of the event, a recognition that the Internet continues to be a place of reckless invention rather than dull rigidity. Along with its admittedly vapid fixation on celebrities (yes, I'm being an apologist here), the Webbys honors online personalities as dedicated outlaws. "I am B.J. Novak, from bittorrent's 'The Office,'" joked last night's host, who couldn't one-up 2009 emcee Seth Meyers, but held his own well enough. At one point, Novak introduced an "In Memoriam" montage that included such lost values as "Grammar," "Accountability" and "Civility," which gives you a sense of the self-awareness this geeky conclave aims to recognize. And it works, for the most part.
I especially enjoyed the personal/professional overlap last night, having watched both film critic Roger Ebert and Cerf (an old colleague of my computer engineer father) grace the same stage within minutes of each other.
Here are a couple of five-word speeches from last night:

How to Attach a Guitar Strap
|Home | Earnings Disclosure | Privacy Policy
How to Attach a Guitar Strap
The type of strap that I'm talking about here is the one that has a buttonhole on each end. If you're fortunate enough to have the knobs on your guitar already than you just snap them on and you are set. I suppose if that was the case than you probably wouldn't be browing the web looking for a solution.
Willie Nelson Method
If you don't have the knobs on your guitar than you're going to have to try another method. The first method I want to talk to you about is what Willie Nelson has been using. He takes the narrow strap and he basically ties it around the heal of the guitar. The rest of the strap goes around his neck, down his chest and with a little hook he places it on the sound hole of the guitar.
The advantages of this is that you're going to have a shorter strap. It's a lot easier to store the strap and you can even keep it in your pocket if you want. The disadvantage is that hook tends to pull on the face of the guitar. This can actually cause the sound of the guitar to change and it can even lead to some sort of damage. The areas you're supposed to clip on are supported, where as the sound hole is not.
Only One Knob
It's common to have a guitar that has a knob on the bottom of it, but none up by the neck of it. Obviously you're going to snap the button hole on the bottom of the guitar. For the neck you'll want to loop it around the neck area, but you want it just above the nuts and below the heads.
The advantage is that this is a relatively simple set up for you and feels just like a regular guitar strap. The disadvantage is that the strap tends to get pulled over the nut and obviously you don't want that.
Installing Knobs
The last method is the one that is going to take the most work and that is installing the knobs on your guitar. You should easily be able to find the knobs at any guitar/music store, so that shouldn't be much of a problem. Here is the complicated part... You have to drill hole in the end of the body of the guitar and you screw the knob in. You want your drill size to be slightly smaller than the screw. This makes sure the screw stays in. If you make the hole too small you won't get the screw in. You can also add glew with the screw to give it strength.
Next, you have to screw a hole up by the neck. You want the secrew to go into the wood brace and not just in the thin wall.
Obviously if this drilling part sounds a little too complicated than you should obviously get someone to repair at a local guitar store. Or you could find a friend to do it for you. I'm not saying that it is necessarily hard, but there are a lot of different makes when it comes to guitars and you don't want to damage it.

From the press release:
"Free-to-Play—Jump in and play with real competitors any time, day or night. Don't worry about losing your chips either, because each day you will receive a free stack of chips to kick start your climb up the leaderboard where you can challenge players at any level you wish."
You have learned nothing, zero, nada, rien, since your disastrous first effort. I will do everything in my power to convince people to reject this pathetic effort at a "poker" game where one can lose their chips with absolutely no downside to playing like an idiot.
Game On. You have made a real enemy out of what was once a supporter. Game On, people.
Full House Poker YouTube channel.
Achievements are a pox on humanity.
I was looking to buy Full House Poker, but I guess there's no point with this coming out
do you think it would be stupid to buy full house poker or should i wait for full house pro? will full house poker be dead if pro comes? i was playing the demo and i loved it so i wanna buy it.
Xbox Live Fall 2012 Beta Tester
Considering FHP has such a large userbase, I doubt it will be dead any time soon. It's like UNO, people will be playing it for a long time.
lost on what you mean Ed.
there is a down side to (as you call) playing like an idiot.
1. there is NO such act in a poker game that is 100%based off of PURE luck.
2. if in a HEAT tour and you bust out NO XP for "X" amount of hands(being title is ALL about XP to win the room CHIPS MEAN NOTHING.The table you play at means nothing( same XP giving at ALL tables.
3. you get about 26mins to play the round(play timers need to be turned down to 10seconds max; if you need more time then that delete the title you have clue what u're doing),YET (this is where ur term "IDIOTS" kicks in) people sitting and burning thier play timer every hand thus removing hands that could have been played getting more XP in just off a deal in.
Never will anyone that sits at a table w/me and get a cheap pre-flop(checks are for the bank,i only accept CASH,LOL)
i agree on peeps doing the ALL-IN everytime, but raising on pre-flop gives one a pot worth playing for.
Ranked games kill me; once you hit lvl.50 ZERO buy-ins should be removed (lamest rooms ever).
GET ready for the new xbox, used titles and (maybe)DISC copies are on thier way out.
Why you think all these FREE-TO-PLAY titles are coming out; BETA testing the new required way to game on next gen.???
Xbox LIVE Community Xpert™
The game has to actually come out before we can buy it. It was supposed to come out in the Spring. Here we are near the end of June and it still isn't out.
Does anyone have an update on when this will finally hit XBox Live?
I will never again buy any Xbox Live Poker games. Once you get into the hundred millions in earnings, good luck hitting anything. I currently have 500 mil in this game and went 2 for 67 (yes, you read that correctly) on showdowns with Big Slick 5 times lost to 6-7, 5-4, J7, 10-2 and K6. With pocket QQs I lost 3 times to equally garbage hands, with pocket JJs once and with Rockets once. This is not counting all the sets I flopped and lost on the river, the straights that lost on the river to some idiot chasing 3 card flushes etc etc. The game is a disaster with all the bugs as well. I'm tired of losing money once a month when I log in. So far the game has taken away at least 40 mil just by logging on. It's impossible to go 2-67 with top 5 hands and yet in this game it happens. WSOP was a great game and they had to discontinue it. Fed up with kiddie poker games with catch-up modes for the idiots that don't know how to play and do nothing but go All-In every hand and beat your KKs or QQs constantly with weak Aces or some absurd 6-2.
fix the arcade titles already
Game sucks just a fixed deck with tons of bad beats full houses flushes quads pathetic attempt at poker game
This game = BAD BEAT POKER. Rigged river cards. 9 players max. No multi table tourneys. No multi tables being added (confirmed by the dev team). This game fails in every way. It's not poker at all. I give it a flat 0 out of 5.

Thursday night was spent at my sewing machine finishing my JJ, which I then wore to work yesterday Overall I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out, and am intending on using the pattern to make some more shirts in the future.
However there is one thing about it that I'm not sure about; the placement of the ruffles. The two centre ruffles on each side are much closer together than the second is to the third... and I'm not sure about that. However, having canvassed opinions from my friends at work I still don't know what I want to do about it, as everyone had a different opinion. The way I see it my options are:
a) Leave it as it is, a couple of people said they liked how it wasn't completely equal
b) Unstitch the middle ruffle and move it to be in the centre of the other ruffles.
c) Remove the outer ruffle from the seam and restitch it closer to the two other ruffles.
d) Remove the outer ruffle completely.
At the moment I'm leaning towards option a as then I can declare the shirt finished... but I dunno. I might wear it a few more times and then decide.
Other than the qualms I have about the ruffles I am now a complete fan of this pattern though! It was really comfy to wear all day (even under my lab coat, or rugby shirt), and I can actually move my arms around this time, unlike when I wear the first shirt I made. Best of all, the pattern is totally free!
(The photo isn't quite the finished product; incase you hadn't noticed it's missing the buttons, which it now does have)

First of all, congrats to Vivek, Arun and team on the release!. See what you have to do when you ship it? First thing is to tell people how to override the release with the latest code using endorsed mechanism. Second thing is how to deal with people who ask, I can't really do anything much other than a getQuote application with the actual bits in Java6, what do i need when i have to do something non-trivial like WS-Security (see the first comment on the link above!).

Tech Editor Eric Savitz writing earlier today, said failure at Nokia could not be blamed on CEO Elop. That's despite Eric pointing out the disastrous run Nokia has suffered since Elop took over. But I think there' a different and more important argument than the CEO's role here.
Here's Eric's summary of life under Elop:
Elop insists …. "People are just beginning to discover what experiences are possible with a device that's packed with sensors, technology, computing power and cloud [access]," he said. "Things can change rapidly. … It's still a wide-open field."
But let's be clear: It's not. In 2007 Nokia had a 37.8% share of the global handset market, ahead of Motorola with 14.3% and Samsung 13.4%, according to Gartner. Then came the iPhone and Android, showing up Nokia's software as well behind the curve. Today Nokia's share is down to 19.9%, behind Samsung at 21.6%. The situation is even worse than the numbers suggest: Most of the phones Nokia sells are low-margin, sub-$100 models targeted at emerging markets. Kulbinder Garcha at Credit Suisse predicts Nokia's smartphone volume share will drop to 2.4% in 2013. Since Elop took command in 2010, Nokia shares are down 75%. The company swung from $5.1 billion in profit in 2008 to losing $4.5 billion in the last 12 months. Its $4 billion in debt has been downgraded to junk status by S&P, Moody's and Fitch.
I happened to be working on the open-sourcing of Nokia's smartphone OS, Symbian, in 2008, a time when Nokia's demise was unthinkable.
If you think back to that time, just one year earlier Nokia had no competition at the level of the OS. RIM was basically an email server, and neither Apple nor Android were in play.
What Symbian tried to tell itself ,and the world, was that it had an inherent advantage even over the iOS.
Three advantages. Nokia smartphones had a history in the S60 and about 350 million Symbian handsets had been sold. Nokia controlled the mobile phone market globally and the emergent smartphone market. And Symbian had a power advantage over any other phone – which should have led to a longer period between recharges. All these turned out to be of no value.
What Eric and Elop also assume is that today's smartphone market is now done and dusted – it is iOS against Android, with a bit of Windows thrown in. But in fact a Nokia technology, MEEGO, dumped by Elop in 2011, is still around and likely to begin disrupting western smartphone markets once it has established itself with Chinese manufacturers, providing a kind of indigenous platform for the Chinese mobile sector, one that is not dependent on American technology.
The current situation is beginning to resemble what came to pass in the PC era – the underlying control of the market is now in the hands of American software companies. One rumor in the market is that China/ASIA will fight back through MEEGO.
What that means for Nokia is that it becomes the first company let go not just one but two major operating systems. Now tell me that has nothing at all to do with Elop, who ported Nokia to Windows. In fact Nokia's demise is a lot about bad decisions, complacency and an inability to respond t the emergent world of enterprise ecosystems – MEEGO manufacturer Jolla intends building out as a smartphoen maker with a total of about 200 employees. The rest will lie in the ecosystem. That's a trend!

Dogme in the Mind of a Teacher: Memory Techniques
(Note on the image: Some people tie strings on their fingers to remind them to do something)
I'm finally posting another lesson on dogme, so this is a post lesson plan again. Rather fortuitously, it ties in with Kalinago's current dogme blogging challenge on scaffolding. You'll notice the sections where I used the conversations to build on the students' vocabulary, grammar, and learning strategies.
This lesson was done a few days ago with a group of 3 private students I have who are at an intermediate/upper-intermediate level.
As we all ordered our coffee and doughnuts (yes, teaching is tough ) one of the students started talking about a training she had received that day on how to remember things better.
Decision: Everyone seemed interested and it's a very useful topic for language learning as well. Let the conversation play out and see where it goes.
The other students and I were quite curious about the training so we had a nice discussion on the subject for about 10 minutes. During the discussion we slowly built up vocabulary related to the topic like short-term/long-term memory, mnemonic device, chunking, etc.
Decision: The student who had done the training had been doing the lion's share of the speaking in the activity so I wanted to open it up more to the other students and the conversation was slowing down, so it seemed like a good time. In the previous lesson we had looked at suggestions and recommendations using the present subjunctive (e.g. I recommend that you be here ten minutes before the meeting starts).
I asked, "What about you two? Do you have any recommendations or suggestions regarding memory tricks?" hoping to prompt some language from last week. Sure enough the students remembered the structure without further prompts. There were a couple slip ups but one of the students who was listening always prompted a correction.
This set the discussion off for another 15 minutes as we talked about other memory tricks & tips we used along with examples our teachers had taught us as children.
Then one student chimed in, "My grandmother is always calling me and she uses a picture of the Turkcell logo because I work there."
Decision: "She's calling" is a typical Turkish mistake because present continuous is used where English speakers would often use present simple. To drive home the point of why choosing the correct tense is important and to probably introduce something new, I decided to make a small divergence here and look at the language.
I wrote 2 sentences on the paper.
She always calls me…
She's always calling me…
I then asked the students to look at them and ask what the difference in meaning was, if any. They responded that the 2nd sentence was incorrect. I said that actually both were correct. I asked them to give some example endings for the first one.
They came up with "She always calls me on Mondays/after work/before she goes to bed."
I then gave three examples to end the 2nd one: "She's always calling me at the worst possible time/when I'm in the shower/when I'm in a meeting."
I then asked the students to determine the meaning of these sentences. They responded that the sentence carried a negative meaning.
We then talked a bit about the meaning of present continuous with always for annoying habits, the importance of choosing the correct tense in this instance, and came up with a number of examples from our lives.
Decision: Include a story from my life as it builds rapport and is good for a laugh.
I included the sentence "My wife is always setting her alarm for earlier than she gets up and hitting the snooze, so she's waking me up two or three times instead of just once in the morning."
This prompted a whole bunch of responses on annoying habits friends, relatives, and co-workers had. This all lasted about 10 minutes.
Decision: That bit of the discussion was running its course and I wanted to connect the previous discussion to language learning.
I said, "Alright, going back to the memory tricks, what was some of the new language we used regarding it" so as to review and consolidate new vocabulary we'd already covered.
Then I asked how what we had discussed concerning memory connected to language learning and study techniques. We then had a whole discussion on chunking, the importance of context, relevance and even course books . This discussion continued for about 15 minutes and we had a really good look at different study techniques, learning strategies, and how I/we tried to incorporate these ideas into my/our lessons.
The last 5 minutes we talked about the lesson and what had been learned in terms of language.
In the end, the entire lesson lasted for 55 minutes.
Reflecting on things learned/practiced:
1) Vocabulary relating to memory
2) Lots of listening and speaking practice in the form of a conversation, telling stories, and explaining how to do something
3) Review of the present subjunctive with "suggest" and "recommend"
4) Introduction of present continuous for annoying habits
5) Discussing effective learning, study, and memory techniques
6) Review of the methodology behind our lessons.

Sharing studying techniques and memory tricks is a great discussion starter, especially with folks proud of their memorization skills. I also like the way that you naturally followed up by expanding the discussion to include annoying habits. Sharing pet peeves – and teaching students how to effectively express their annoyance and complain – is a very rich subject.
Thank you for sharing your lesson.

Glad you liked it Eric
By Karenne Sylvester, October 24, 2010 @ 10:33 am
This is a super lesson – I really enjoyed how it goes in and out of focus, concentrates on giving them real langauge and in context and I agree very much that talking about and sharing memory techniques helps learners in the long-run!
By Ligaya D. Honofre, October 25, 2010 @ 1:10 am
I am writing to tell that I am sharing this with my co-teachers. To scaffold is quite a meticulous technique and it calls for skill on the part of the teacher, specially so that you build upon the schema (of previous lessons learned/ prior orientations) your students have acquired. It is highly interactive and as a constructive approach, you also challenge their imagination and critical thinking; simultaneously making use of behavioral reactions as you scaffold. Great sharing!
I will just share a little anecdote while in the airport in Turkey, on my way to pay my sister a visit in Ankara. I was trying to be friendly, since I was a stranger in the place and asked a woman beside me. She snobbed me, and of course I told myself, she may have not understood me (I was talking in English). I learned from my diplomat-brother in law that traditionally they would hate to speak any other (except their own) language.
By turklis1, October 25, 2010 @ 10:11 am
Hi Ligaya, glad you like the scaffolding.
As for your story, actually Turks are usually incredibly friendly towards visitors and guests. Maybe she just didn't understand.
By David Warr, October 25, 2010 @ 3:24 pm
Hi Nick, I think this shows more than anything that if you have a good knowledge of English, and I'm really thinking grammar, then you can just dip into it all the time as things crop up and you think yeah, we can look more closely at that particular point, and spend valuable time on it. In spirit with the current hot topic, have you got photos of any board/paper work?
By turklis1, October 25, 2010 @ 4:15 pm
Welcome back David. I've thought about that point a lot – do you need to know the grammar first? – but I came to the conclusion that the answer is no. Most proficient level English teachers will recognize a difference there although they may not know the rule behind it. I see this all the time with trainees or new teachers. Usually randomly, something will come up in class – the most usual prompt being a student question – and they'll focus on it. Then they work through examples and try to help the students understand. Oftentimes you'll get "well instead of x, I'd use a, b, or c." Even though it's not a grammar rule, it amounts to the same style of teaching and I think is equally effective for students.
As for boardwork, I don't have any pictures. My handwriting is quite terrible and I'd be embarrassed to post it
By David Warr, October 27, 2010 @ 5:18 pm
Yes, I agree with you Nick, knowing what is correct and how and where it is used is most important, not the terminology.
By Ligaya D. Honofre, December 17, 2011 @ 8:11 am
Scaffolding is a technique I also use when teaching a new concept to my students. It is indeed highly effective when used while the students are at their peak of interest. Their ideas flow spontaneously, with each one contributing. My role as a teacher is to align the ideas to the objectives of the lesson.

Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery
Coach Don Flanagan on the overall game:
"I thought we shot pretty well the second half. We wanted to play well and out shoot them in the first four minutes of the second half. We fouled them and put them on the free throw line too much and that's something we have to work on. I thought we switched and helped real well but then ended up fouling late in the clock many times which is not a very strategic move. I'm pretty happy with transition, defense and shooting. We got a lot of people good minutes like Valerie, Sarah, Amy, and Lauren. We had a lot of people that contributed and that is what you want in a game like this."
Flanagan on SMU and the WNIT:
"They're a good team. They won 20 games this year so it's nice to beat a good team. This tournament is filled with good teams so obviously you're not going to have any rest. There are no easy games from now on."
SMU Head Coach Rhonda Rompola on the difference in the game and playing in the Pit:
"29 points from UNM's bench, zero from ours, 24 points off 3-pointers for UNM, zero points from 3s for us, that was the difference in the game. Coming to play in the Pit, the atmosphere is fantastic. I told my kids, "There's a lot of tradition and history here. This is great basketball atmosphere, go out and enjoy it". We didn't enjoy it. New Mexico played great. They have great shooters and I wish them well. I hope they run it."

Worst Things First
This a practice I learned long ago and it's actually helpful whether it's day to day or building software. It's doing worst things first. Rather than save a hurdle to the end, do it up front when you're you're strongest.
Get It Over With
It's human nature to move away from pain. Sometimes I have a meeting or a conversation or even just a task for the day that I'm not looking forward to. I'm not talking about the stuff I can ignore forever. I'm talking about stuff that needs to happen sooner rather than later, that I won't enjoy doing.
Don't Let It Loom Over You
If I push those things to the end of the day or the end of the week, they loom. Why loom longer than necessary? That's draining. Somebody long ago gave me the tip worst things first and I didn't realize it's actually become one of my most effective habits.
One of my mentees is going to combine worst things first with a 30 day improvement sprint to see how much energy they get back and how much more they get done. I think this is a great experiment and I look forward to their results.

The Job Market for New Economists: A Market Design Perspective
How should the most appropriate employers and job candidates find each other? Newly minted economists typically send applications to an average of 80 potential employers, and as a result, many employers receive hundreds of applications. It is extremely time-consuming to sort through all the applications, and as the process unfolds, there is a risk of coordination failure, in which employers and candidates who would be well-suited do not manage to create a match. In this paper, HBS professors Peter A. Coles and Alvin E. Roth and colleagues provide an overview of the market for new PhD economists and describe new mechanisms to improve the matching process. They conclude by discussing the emergence of platforms for transmitting job market information, and other design issues that may arise in the market for new economists. Read More

Not medicine from not a doctor (SuccessEtc.com). Disclaimers at bottom of front page seem confused about whether they're selling 'medicine' or business opportunities but as no obvious clue about what the stuff is (presumably the usual herbal cr&p) OR the traditional not evaluated by the FDA disclaimer maybe they genuinely don't have a clue. About anything! Also states 'This website is based loosely off a true story, but has been modified in multiple ways including, but not limited to: the story' Ha Ha, fu(k off. "

Coordinator: Will Kymlicka
Participants: Jane Boulden, David Last, Christian Leuprecht, Benedict Kingsbury, Karen Knop and Peter Leuprecht
Here we are concerned with the role of the international community in shaping ethno-communal relations and conflicts within and between states. This, too, is contested. It is often said that the international community can and should do more to protect vulnerable minorities around the world, but others argue that such international intervention is likely to be ineffective at best, and biased and self-serving at worst. Our spoke researched the conditions under which the international community decides to actively engage with state-minority conflicts, the different forms that this engagement takes, the various goals that underlie it, and the range of effects it has produced.
For example so-called "kin-states" have often intervened to support their co-ethnics in another country; regional powers have supported rebellious minorities in neighboring countries in order to destabilize governments that are seen as hostile; and global superpowers have supported or opposed ethnic claims in light of geopolitical security considerations. More recently, however, a number of international institutions have attempted to develop mechanisms that would allow the international community to respond to internal ethnic conflicts in a more constructive and principled way. To oversimplify, these mechanisms take two different forms:
The working assumption of this spoke was that these two forms of international intervention are likely to become more common under conditions of globalization. The era when the treatment of internal ethnic communities was seen as the exclusive preserve of sovereign states has passed. Yet it is far from clear that these international influences always operate in constructive ways. Current interventions tend to be selective and ad hoc, supporting some claims and discouraging others, without any principled rationale. This is true not only of case-specific conflict-resolution interventions, but also of the emerging international norms of minority rights, which are very uneven in their coverage.
We explored the prospects for developing a more consistent framework to guide the international community's engagement with these issues. Research activities included field research on the impact of international intervention on the ground, studies of decision-making processes within international organizations such as the UN, and analyses of emerging international legal texts and cases regarding migrants, national minorities, and indigenous peoples.

We have a situation where we have dance practices with other people and want to dance to our own music. They dance to cha chas and sambas while we need to work on our waltz and fox trot. We thought there might be a blue tooth solution, but haven't managed to find one. And we tried the My Stream app but have had nothing but trouble with it. Bear in mind DH is a computer guy and it won't cooperate for him at ALL. And wired in with a splitter won't work when we go in for the
contra check
So searching around online I was reminded of the FM radio transmitters and headsets that are sometimes used for people who are hard of hearing. Sounds like a low tech solution, but how expensive is it? I see transmitters to use in cars inexpensively, but the head phones I have seen look pricy. It doesn't have to be great sound. It just has to work.
------http://bgballroom.wordpress.com to follow the progress on my next ballgown.
What about just using an ipod?
------Stash: 175 yds. @ 07.26.15
Patty - an ipod sort of works except both of us need to be able to hear the music. It is an interesting experiment to have just one person hear the music (usually the man) but it is not a good long-term solution. There's an app that supposedly synchs phones or other devices so you can both listen to the same music, but on your own device, but we can't get it to even begin to work. Bluetooth only works on one device at a time. It is a puzzle.
I know they have fm transmitters in places like theatres so hard of hearing people can hear better through fm receiver ear pieces. It is old technology and should be cheap. I just need to find the right equipment.
How's your hearing? Suppose your husband wore the device with a sound splitter and then wore the second set of earphones at his chest pocket. You could count your way through the contra check.
Wonder if it would work to start with a sound splitter and then split to one set of headphones and one device to transmit to a Bluetooth headset.
If you both had iPod nanos the music should transfer identically. If you can dance together you should be able to coordinate starting your nanos at the same time. Perhaps family members would volunteer equipment to test this and/or to test splitting to two separate Bluetooth devices.
Happy dancing.
.....if you decide to coordinate devices, you could repeat your music with rests between repetitions before transferring the music from the computer to the devices.
I have yet to give up my mini disk players. They are bulky by today's standards but are so very versatile. They can be purchased super cheap on ebay. I can record from the stereo, tv, computer and microphone to the mini disk player.

------I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.
7yr - I think you are onto something. He wears the ipod, ear phones with a splitter and a set of speakers strapped to his chest! Seriously though, a very small speaker in his chest pocket might just do the trick. We had little speakers that the kids used to put under their pillows to have music at night. Here I go off to shop!

Bowling Ranked Ninth in NTCA Pre-Season Poll

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks bowling team was ranked ninth in the nation in the National Tenpin Coaches Association Pre-Season poll released Tuesday, holding steady from their final 2012-2013 regular season ranking in April.

Returning seven players for the 2013-2014 season, the Ladyjacks will look to build upon their most successful season in program history this fall.
The Ladyjacks will kickoff the 2013-2014 season when they compete in the Tulane Invitational Oct. 18-20 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Cloudy with a Chance of Vitamin D
For much of the country, winter brings the year's coldest temperatures, shortest days and least amount of sunshine – the body's chief source of vitamin D. The dark winter days make it increasingly difficult for most Americans to meet their vitamin D needs, especially for those living in the cloudiest cities in the country.
From New York to Oregon and beyond, if you find yourself in one of America's cloudiest cities or experiencing an especially wintry season, get more of the sunshine vitamin by eating all-natural foods, like eggs, which are one of the few foods that naturally contain vitamin D. In fact, the USDA recently reviewed egg nutrient data and results showed that one large egg contains 41 IU of vitamin D, 64 percent higher than before.
"Vitamin D is a nutrient that should not be overlooked," says Neva Cochran , MS, RD, LD. "In addition to working with calcium to help form and maintain strong, healthy bones, vitamin D also prevents the development of osteoporosis in older adults. At 15 cents apiece, eggs are an easy, all-natural and inexpensive way to boost your vitamin D intake. Other foods that contain vitamin D include fortified milk, mushrooms and fish."
The Sunshine Vitamin Boost
A recent report from Sperling's Best Places identified the cloudiest cities in the United States such as Syracuse, NY; Cleveland, OH and Seattle, WA. According to Sperling's Best Places research, people living in the cloudiest cities in the U.S. experience at least 200 overcast days each year, with 55 percent of the day being mostly overcast, making vitamin D even more important for people living in these places. Eating just one egg provides at least 10 percent of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamin D.
Furthermore, eggs are an easy and versatile way to get that high-quality protein to help get through the day along with vitamin D. Cochran suggests a few quick and easy egg recipes to give you an extra boost of vitamin D this winter season:
>>Scrambled Eggs, Tomato, Mozzarella, & Basil Sandwich
>>Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal with an Egg Boost
>>Cherry Tomato and Portobello Omelet

Garden Wedding Ceremony
There are two locations at The Chateau on the Park where couples can hold a garden wedding ceremony during the warmer months of the year.
The Wedding Gazebo is nestled within a tranquil garden enclave deep within the heart of the property. The fully enclosed garden area is protected from prevailing winds and the towering chestnut and sycamore trees provide dappled shade from the mid summer sun.
The Village Green is a large manicured lawn encircled by mature trees, shrubs and flowerbeds. It is suitable for larger garden weddings and being adjacent to the poolside area it is an excellent location for group photographs.
An alternate private indoor venue is always set aside for wedding ceremonies in the event of inclement weather.

EL DORADO -- El Dorado Chemical recently announced a 600-million dollar expansion project.
Officials say the first phase of the expansion is the construction of a new ammonia storage tank.
They call it a key part of their expansion project.
"That's one of the storage tanks that we will be building that will store the anhydrous ammonia after we produce it. It's a 19 million dollar tank that will take almost 2 years to build," says Withrow.
El Dorado Chemical says the expansion is expected to create 45 more job opportunities for the community.

South Australia sets out strategy for engaging India
Premier Jay Weatherill has launched a long-term strategy to ensure South Australia becomes a significant partner with India as it transforms into the world's third largest economy.
"The strategy identifies the key sectors of the economy that will best position the State to take advantage of India's rapid development and create jobs in South Australia," Mr Weatherill said.
"This is the first strategy of its type that makes fine-grain choices about how a small state can engage with such a large country for our benefit."
The 10-year India Engagement Strategy focuses on:
- Aerospace and defence
- Energy and natural resources
- Education and training
- Clean technology.
"As the Prime Minister's Australia in the Asian Century white paper outlines, states need to more effectively engage with this emerging economic powerhouse and this strategy sets out how we will do that.
"This strategy, which focuses on South Australia's strengths, will ensure our state will be able to share the stage and benefit from a partnership with a rapidly developing economic powerhouse."
Mr Weatherill launched the South Australia - India Engagement strategy at Adelaide University's Centre for Asian Studies.
The State Government will establish a South Australia-India Council, which will include experts from business, government and the community to help guide the strategy.
The council will be supported by an India team within the Department for Manufacturing, Innovation, Trade, Resources and Energy.
The launch of the South Australia-India Engagement Strategy comes ahead of the Premier's visit next month to India.
Manufacturing, Innovation and Trade Minister Tom Koutsantonis said the India team would focus efforts on the industrial sectors identified in the strategy.
"Commercial possibilities will be identified and prioritised and trade and investment strategies developed to ensure South Australia can respond rapidly and flexibly," Mr Koutsantonis said.
"Our work to develop an innovative, high-value manufacturing sector is also critical to building the capabilities we'll need to respond to the emerging demands of more prosperous India.
"South Australia's leadership in research and education, water and environmental management, renewable energy and agribusiness provide the foundation for a more diverse and productive partnership.
"And, of course, South Australia's mineral and energy resources must continue to play a major role in the development of economic relations with India."
President of the Asian Studies Association of Australia Professor Purnendra Jain said the University of Adelaide can contribute to building the knowledge and expertise needed to seize opportunities in India.
"The significance of India for Australia's future is widely recognised in the community, in the schools system and by government," Professor Jain, who is also president of the Centre for Asian Studies, said.
"But we want to ensure it is also recognised by our students and we are committed to providing a greater understanding of culture and society."
Economic Development Board Chair Raymond Spencer said ongoing consultation with Indian state and local governments, businesses and chambers of commerce would ensure the state's relations with India continue to be based on present-day conditions in the country.
"The upcoming visit provides a prime opportunity to engage with Indian state and local governments and business people who can offer insight to help strengthen our economic partnership," Mr Spencer said.
