Finish at the end of the year and go on the supply list - you should have some control over which jobs you accept/reject and it's a chance to teach without all the red tape, paperwork, angst that normally goes with it. At least, that's what happens in the primary sector (although HLTs are creeping in a lot over here now.) Good luck with whatever you decide but, as you say, there's more to life than work.ReplyDelete
I did quite a bit of supply teaching - in a very deprived school nearly twenty years ago! Only drawback was that they swapped all the classes round to give me the most difficult ones all the time, grrrr. Still, I got good at lion-taming.ReplyDelete

Remember Me
Kicking off their tour February 23 in Fargo, ND, ex-Dead Moon tour veterans Pierced Arrows will work their way east, eventually teaming up with Toronto's equally blistering live duo Lullabye Arkestra on March 5 in New York. Both bands will continue playing shows together throughout select East and West Coast tour dates.
The exciting pairing of these two stripped-down, gritty live bands comes in support of Pierced Arrows' upcoming VICE album Descending Shadows (out February 2), as well as Lullabye Arkestra's recently released effort Threats/Worship.
Mentioned as "one of the most surprising extreme music acts we've seen all year" by Self-Titled Magazine, a selection of live videos presenting some of Lullabye Arkestra's favorite songs released in late 2009 show just how powerful the duo can be.

A new comparison shot has popped up online for the upcoming multiplatform title, WWE '13. The new shot compares the character model of the legendary wrestler, Bret Hart, from the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of WWE '13 against the one from the Playstation 2 version of WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006. You can check out the comparison screens, as well as several other shots, in the slideshow at the top of this article (via the NeoGAF forum).
WWE '13 is currently being developed by Yuke's, the same studio that worked on WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006, while THQ will be publishing the wrestling video game.
The latest WWE title will be released for the Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 video game systems in North America on October 30. In addition to Bret Hart, WWE '13 will also feature an abundance of old school wrestlers, mostly from the Attitude Era. You can pre-order the product in the following link: WWE '13

Windows 10 Technical Preview on the HP Stream 7
Like Michael, last November I bought the HP Stream 7 Tablet. As Windows users everywhere were getting the button in the notification bar that you can reserve Windows 10 for your PC, the Stream 7 didn't because it uses a compressed version of Windows 8.1. That does not mean it will not run the new OS.

HP EliteBook Folio 1020 G1 Notebook PC Review: Sleek and Secure
Last fall I attended IFA, and one of the biggest announcements to come out of the show was the introduction of Intel's newest Core M Processor. This year there are quite a few laptops that take advantage of Core M, and the HP EliteBook Folio 1020 G1 is one of them.
The #Dell #XPS 13″ Ultrabook vs. the 11″ MacBook Air: Which Would You Rather?
When the Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook was announced at CES, it definitely piqued my interest. This laptop puts a 13.3″ screen in the body of an 11″; it is available with a 5th Generation Intel Core i5 Processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, and a touchscreen. It also has an SD slot, something I've sorely missed on my 11″ MacBook Air.

With an Intel processor, 32GB storage, and a 1280 x 800 resolution screen, the Stream 7 promises much for a low price. Here are some first impressions a week later.

How do You Solve a Problem Like In-App Purchases?
Apple added a big change to iOS 7.1 when it comes to app purchases. Previously, once you entered your password for an app purchase the system automatically didn't ask for it again for 15 minutes. To prevent in-app purchases by accident, you can now set it to ask every time. But how else can in-app purchasing be fixed?

Apple's Missed Opportunity: The Family Tablet
A coworker came to me recently for advice about buying a tablet for his family, one that he and his wife could use and share with his toddler.

CONOVER, N.C. (AP) - Michael Allen was more than willing to work a little overtime Sunday at Rock Barn.
Allen won his second Champions Tour title of the year and fifth overall, birdieing the first extra hole.
Allen closed with a 5-under 65, also birdieing the par-5 18th in regulation to match Browne at 13-under 197. Browne shot a 64, charging to the lead with seven birdies over a nine-hole stretch.
''I got off to a little bit of a slow start,'' Browne said. ''But I had that great run, and gave myself a chance. One more putt here or there, and I would have had no worries.''
In the playoff, Allen put his second shot within 10 feet, and Browne hooked his second shot badly into the rough off the green. Allen's eagle putt just lipped out, and he tapped in for birdie. Browne missed a 40-foot putt for birdie and settled for par.
Second-round leader Bernhard Langer had a 69 to finish third at 11 under. He cut Kenny Perry's lead in the Charles Schwab Cup standings to 394 points with two events remaining. Perry, who entered the tournament with a 609-point lead, tied for 20th at 4 under after a 69.
Allen, playing in the lead group with Langer and Brad Bryant, said he didn't know Browne had taken the lead until the final three or four holes. He wound up birdieing two of the final three holes in regulation to make up a two-shot deficit and force the playoff.
''All of a sudden, here comes Olin,'' Allen said. ''I thought I was going to be battling with Bernhard ... but it wasn't until I got to 16 or 17 that I knew he was leading. So I had to be more aggressive on my putts.''
Allen earned $240,000.

If I have a
uint64_t original and two regular four byte ints, (which are signed), I would like to store the value in the two ints and recover the unsigned 64 byte later. This should be possible because we have 64 bits available in both cases. I was thinking something along the lines of:
uint64_t test = 1350640807215539000;
int a = test >> 32; //get top 32 bits
int b = test & 0x00000000FFFFFFFF; //keep bottom 32 bits
uint64_t recover_test = ((a << 32) & b);
but this isn't giving me back the original value of test...what part am I doing wrong?

I have Banding on an Epson Stylus Photo R3000. How can I get rid of it I have done nozzle check and head cleaning
Printing & Print Quality
NOTE: All the pictures on this page are scans of prints made with the R3000. Although every effort is made to match the printed picture there will be a small amount of variation in colors. Print scans were made using an Epson V750 flatbed scanner.
First Prints
The R3000 so far looks very impressive, however, the real test for any printer is how well it performs. The R3000 uses the new Vivid Magenta UltraChrome K3 inkset which claims a wider Gamut over previous UltraChrome inks, so let's put it to the test.
I am using the same test chart that I have used since the launch of photo-i, the original file can be downloaded by clicking on the test print below.
The print displays a good range of slightly cool but vibrant colors. The overall print is darker than the original file, possibly equivalent to about ½ stop under exposure. The portrait of Sophie shows either a good suntan or generous application of a fake tan.
The B/W image is neutral but detail on the door in the far arch has become blocked up. The color swatches display good solid colors. The red Green and blue are excellent. The cyan and magenta swatches are perhaps too heavy but the yellow is excellent. The gradients are smooth from pure white through to the individual colors, there is no sign of banding.
Moving down to the cotton reels. The black reel is far too heavy, individual strand detail has been lost. The brown reel is also far too dark, although detail is still present. The remaining reels all display clean vibrant colors.
The 12 point text is very good although there is a slight shadow on the right edge on some of the characters. The white on black text holds detail very well.
Overall the R3000 is more than capable of producing excellent prints, and with some fine tuning by the end user perfect color prints should be easily obtained.

omg!!! fantastic news!
CWC is a C&C Generals Zero Hour Total Conversion and also works with "The First Decade". It takes place from 1980-1989 and features realistic units from the 80's. We want CWC to be a mixture of realism and fun. CWC is more realistic than vanilla Generals, with real life weapon systems and side specific characteristics. CWC offers 2 factions: Russia and USA. The Russians tend to use tanks and artillery (for example: T-72 / T-80, BM-21, 2S1 only to mention a few) while the USA rely on aircraft and high tech units (for example: F-15, F-16, F-117, A-10 etc.). Also we we have a lot of infantry in the game, not all of them are just cannon fodder.
The Final Version v1.0 of CWC, with the fully finished USA and USSR factions!
Posted by [CWC]SHADOW on Jul 27th, 2008
Hello everyone!
Some might think it's still July 27th and they may be correct, but for us it's already July 28th (German time ;))
Today is the big day! CWC is released after over 4 years of hard work, blood and sweat! Thanks to everyone who contributed to this community, for all the constructive criticism and the ideas. Without too much words, let's get to business, shall we?
Please make sure to download our manual.
We got a nice install-guide in there and before you mess-up your Zero Hour installation or are wondering about strange errors, why not take a look into it before doing stuff? Also there are good hints and tips for playing CWC in it, so it's worth a look. If you can't fix a problem even after reading our manual at least twice go to our Forum for help. But as mentioned, please try reading the manual first!
Download CWC! Pretty easy, just get it here from ModDB or visit our page for additional mirrors.
Enjoy CWC. In case you want to battle other players online make sure to read our Hamachi-guide on how to set it up.
We hope you'll enjoy the final release of CWC - v1.0 ;)
Best wishes & good luck beating the hard AI
The CWC-Team
omg!!! fantastic news!
uhhooouhoooo yes :)
Oh yeah, very good news !!
héhé! multiplayers :p
Congratulations on your release, it was a long wait but surely worth it :)
totally worth the wait, great mod!
it keeps askn me for a .net framework what is tht?
This is explained in the Manual...
You need Microsofts .NET Framework so our Installer works, get it here: Microsoft.com
Great mod, very original!
great mod. one question wen i scroll over any base either mine or the a.i. it lags horribly. but runs fine wen i scroll away from the base. is there anything i can do to make it run smoother?
What are your specs ? I think you'd need an upgrade, but I'll have to know your specs to judge.
Also, try this tweak: Cold-war-crisis.de
i did what u said in ur forum page it still lags. not as bad but it skips now. what is the problem and can it be fixed. im running it on medium settings and hav a acer laptop. CnC shockwave and vietnam glory obscured work perfectly tho
I'm really loving this mod, you guys did an excellent job.
Definitely well worth the wait.
I reinstalled Generals just for this.
woot!! nice job you guys
nice job. bug and virus free, great AI and lots of fun nice job once again
I installed the mod, but when I click the icon to start it nothing happens, I even went to the folder in my First Decade directory where Zero Hour is located an tried to run it from there an it still not starting.
Make sure to rea dour Manual (get it from our Page or check the ModDB News for a link) to check if you installed in the correct folder of your TFD! ;)
As alternative, visit our Forum (Technical Assistance Forum) for hints and tips for problems, you might find good advises there.
thanks comrade
ok I followed everything on the website including the troubleshooting and the game still refusing to run.
Ok, then please post a detailed report on our Website (Technical Assistance Forum) so we can take a look into it, thx.
Congrats guys!!! An PHENOMINAL mod! I am truely impressed with this, thanks for all the hard work and effort you put into this :)
This mod is awesome guys, excellent work. 10/10!!

8 Steps to Successfully Buying a Small Company
Ben T. Smith IV, co-founder of Merchantcircle.com & Spoke.com (btsiv.com), talks about buying a small business. These eight tips will really help during your company acquisition.
- Determine exactly what you aim to purchase
- Respect the existing product & the customer relationships
- Decide immediately who should stay (typically 15%)
- Don't focus on inconsequential issues
- Put a short-term material retention program into place
- Implement a long-term incentive program for the employees
- Intermingle the employees on a specific basis
- Dedicate a full-time position to specific people issues
Having bought a number of small companies, and then frankly having sold my company to bigger companies a couple of times, buying a small company is different. There are lots of books out there. There's 50 books that I probably learn on how to do big merges and acquisitions integration work. But in a small company, there's a few things that are different. I'm going to walk you through eight steps or eight things to consider in buying a small company.
The first thing is, if you're buying a big company, you pretty much want the business. You're not going to buy you know, a $100 million year revenue stream and not care about the $100 million revenue stream. That certainly happen to the world but it's pretty rare.
When you're buying a small company, you may be buying the business or you maybe buying the talent or the intellectual property to apply to your business. Lots of these kinds of deals happen all the time. Facebook buys companies like this all the time. LinkedIn has bought a few companies like this or you really trying to not to buy the business, you're trying to buy the talent. You need to make a decision early on whether you're buying the business or you're buying the talent.
If you're buying the business, you need to keep that business separate at least for 18 months and let them develop on their own with the minor points of integration and have their own success with their own GM, et cetera.
If you're buying the talent, you need to as quickly as possible move that team off the existing product and inject them into your business as to what you're trying to do.
So, you're trying to improve you know, your search on your ended site and you bought a search team, you need to move them off building their search product and enter your search product as quickly as possible.
Even if you do that though, whether you are keeping the existing business or you're moving into town and do your operation, you got to respect what that team built in terms of product and customer relationships. This is what they sold their soul for for two or three years. And if you piss their customers off or you dismiss your products and don't show respect, you're going to end up with a lot of very frustrated engineers especially, and people were very unhappy, and you're going to end up destroying the value. Even though you're only one of the team in some cases, the team is going to leave because they're embarrassed about what you did with their product. And I've seen this happen where people will open source the product after they buy it as a way of making sure the product survives and people can be you know, that sort of what they built can survive. I've seen it where you focus on keeping their customers happy, maybe even add a little bit of a lost for a period of time. So, it's not – you don't end up a lot of negative ill will against the team 'cause the team will leave if they feel that ill will.
The next thing you have to really do when you think about this is you have to make an immediate decision who's going to stay. You know, in my experience, if you're buying a company in the growth space, in the internet space, in the technology space, and you intend for more than 15% of their people leave, you're probably doing a bad deal. But you probably are going to have 15% leave. You should know who those 15% are before you do the deal. You and the seller should know who those people are. You should decide, you know, day one, who they're going to be and sent them for stay here for a short period of time as you want. And then, get them out so that you can move on to building your leadership team. If you don't want these certain set numbers to senior leadership, then make that decision early on, treat them with respect while making the decision early on. And then, the rest of the team, the 85%, don't lose any of them. Every person you lose, you do look at it as a failure because remember, in a small company, everybody plays a critical role, both in what they do everyday as well as part of the DNA of the company. So, take the 15% out, and then don't lose a single other person.
And on the next point, it really ties that certainly don't loose people over things that don't matter. Things like benefits or other small things in the company that really aren't going to change the financial outcome of the company. Don't meddle with those things. In fact, if you're going to do anything, make it better. When (Tarpilus) was sold to Disney, Disney could have taken a lot of opportunities to make their lives more difficult. It actually made the benefits better for the team. Make it easier for them to want to be there. Don't meddle with things that don't matter whether it's one hour of the team comes in in a pouring or one you know, what bug checking system that you use, anything that doesn't matter that doesn't really drive them to success because remember, this is a growth asset, it's not an efficiency tribune acquisition in most part, don't meddle with things that don't matter.
Next point to really get people through which is going to be though period because even if you don't do anything intentionally to meddle with the business of make their lives difficult, you're still going to change things because anytime you have an acquisition, there's just change. It could be a change that matters as small as where they go to lunch. But there's going to be a change. And you have to get people beyond that because remember they just lost their hope of change in the world a little bit, so you got to get them through that and get them have a period where they a buy into you. And it's really important that you put a short term in the center program or a retention program in place to make that happen.
That retention program needs to be material. It needs to be you know, at least as big as their expected bonus and maybe two or three times as big as their expected bonus so they'll really feel like they've got to bear through this and understand the difference between the two companies as they go through it. You don't want people taking the phone calls that will happen the day after the acquisition occurs from head hunters.
Once you got the short term, you need to put a long term instead of in program placed that really appeals to the hope they had before. If someone, when they sold their company as an engineer who made $2 million and your long term incentive program for them is $50,000, you don't have a long term incentive program. It may have felt like – you may think that $50,000 is a lot of money. But remember, you just gave them $2 million as part of the acquisition to join the company.
And the less you don't think they're important to creating that future value which is often 80% of the value in an acquisition, then you need to figure out, unless you don't think they're important, you need to figure out how to put an equal incentive for them going forward. So, that means you have to change the deal price to make that happen and change the deal price because you can put all the money up front for your high price in the deal, all you're doing is really making it worst for the long term.
Next thing I found to be really effective in terms of building that cultural bridge is taking one, two, three, four employees and switching them around in a targeted basis. This is not meshing the teams of integrating the teams. You're still keeping them separate. But you take your CFO and making the acquire CFO. You take your legal person and make him your GC. You take your HR person and put your HR person on the side of their team. You take your QA lead from the acquiring company and put them on the team who you just bought. Three, four, five, six, seven people who switch roles within the two companies as a way of starting the integration that you will eventually do 18 months from now without pushing everything together in terms of common policies you know, common development, environments, et cetera. A few people move back and forth.
And then finally, the most important point I have to say is of course, in any deal, the CEO's job is to make the deal successful. But it's hard to spend all your time doing that. And since most deals fail over people issues, I believe the most important thing to do is to identify one person in your company from the acquiring acquire. And so, your only job is to make the people at the acquired company happy and successful and have a big impact.
It is not to deliver just financial benefits. It's not to just deliver you know, an economic term. But just to make sure those people are happy. And taking one person saying, "That's your job." is to make those people happy in measuring them on turnover – measuring them on the innovation that comes from the team, measuring them on the cultural fit, all that stuff really will drive you to at least think about those issues everyday because you have a full time person who's bringing it up to you.
In the end, small companies are difficult to buy. They can have tremendous benefits to acquire over the long term. And that has been proven over and over again in Silicon Valley. But they rarely work out at their optimistic because if they're optimistic, you're not going to take the time to follow these steps because it's just – you're just thinking you're getting the good deal. It's rarely you get a good deal just because you think you're getting the good deal. Most deals that change companies you feel like you're overpaid for, and you feel like you put way too much effort into these eight steps, but that in the end is why they work.

The equipment installed on the platform is often sensitive to motion and has to be isolated from unnecessary vibrations. In this paper the implementation of different platform suspension systems to improve the orientation and motion of the platform in the pitch degrees of freedom (DOF) is investigated. A one DOF platform model is merged with a validated, nonlinear, 12 DOF simulation model of a small off-road vehicle known as a Baja. The effectiveness of passive, semi-active and active suspension systems are investigated when the vehicle model is excited by a sinusoidal road profile input. Skyhook control is used to vary the damping in the semi-active system, and a PID controller is implemented in the active system. It is concluded that a passive suspension is ineffective due to conflicting spring stiffness and damping settings required for reduced pitch motion and level platform orientation. The semi-active system can improve the pitch orientation and motion as compared to the passive suspension without conflicting suspension or controller gain settings, but the best solution is obtained using an active suspension system.

NAFGIM was developed as an integral part of a national effort to manage spatial data pertaining to the environment and natural resources. It sought to bring together technology, policies, institutional resources and standards to enhance the production, storage, access and utilization of geographic data and information. NAFGIM is no longer functional but Ghana is again embarking on another SDI initiative. This precipitated key diagnostic questions, such as: what led to NAFGIM's decline and how can lessons learnt from NAFGIM inform current SDI developments in Ghana? The International Cartographic Association (ICA) has developed formal models of an SDI, including identifying six types of SDI stakeholders and their specializations. The ICA model has been applied to describe the Namibian SDI (NamSDI). In this chapter, we follow this work and use the ICA model to describe the types of stakeholders in NAFGIM, their contributions, roles and impact. Current SDI developments in Ghana can benefit from this stakeholder analysis, because most of the NAFGIM stakeholders are still relevant in current SDI developments as part of the ongoing Land Administration Project. Research results confirm the value of modeling stakeholders of an SDI: Stakeholders are identified and their roles assigned, potential conflicts are identified and can be pro-actively mitigated, facilitating harmonized stakeholder participation. The results also contribute to understanding commonalities between stakeholders in different SDIs generally. This is important because SDIs provide access to the geographic information that is essential for sustainable development and for advancing science.

The design was based on the Cognitive Work Analysis framework to identify the required capabilities and constraints in which the system would operate. The framework comprises of five phases that are populated using subject matter expert inputs. Each phase highlights a different facet of the work domain. Of particular interest is the final phase - Worker Competency Analysis - that is based on Rasmussen's human performance model. The model is used to capture the skills-, rules- and the knowledge-levels required by the operator. The author suggest that the model closely resembles the three levels of Situation Awareness - perception, comprehension and projection - and can be used to identify the measures with which to evaluate the developed user interface using Situation Awareness Evaluation techniques. The results are then used to scrutinise the conformance of the user interface design to its intended purpose.

In this paper a cloud framework for spectrum database as a service (SDaaS) for the application layer is introduced. The SDaaS framework can provide a wide range of vital capabilities needed for unlocking the DSA-based networks: (i) SDaaS can be used as the best short-term solution for minimising any harmful interference that might be introduced to the co-channels and adjacent-channels of the incumbent users subject to a dynamic spectrum sharing policy. Examples of such network architectures are those based on the TV white spaces (TVWS) technologies. (ii) SDaaS can be used as a toolbox by regulators in the development of efficient dynamic spectrum regulations at a national level. (iii) Such regulations can be enforced and monitored through an SDaaS environment suggested in this paper. Moreover, multi-tenancy and schema-sharing techniques are utilised at the inter-regional level to allow the cross-border harmonisation of RF spectrum regulation to negate the problem of IP communication islands.

The change in storage proteins was accompanied by an unusually high level accumulation of free lysine and other essential amino acids in the endosperm. This mutant further displayed a significant suppression in the synthesis and accumulation of the 27 kDa -, 24 kDa a-A1 and the 22 kDa a-A2 kafirins in the endosperm. The suppression of kafirins was counteracted by an upsurge in the synthesis and accumulation of albumins, globulins and other proteins. The data collectively suggest that sorghum has huge genetic potential for nutritional biofortification and that induced mutations can be used as an effective tool in achieving premium nutrition in staple cereals.

In the attempt to carry out its mandate of improving the quality of life of South African citizens, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has undertaken research into how these accidents can be mitigated. One such means is the use of robotic platforms and sensors. For the purposes of verification and validation, these sensors and robotic platform have to be tested in underground environments that are similar to the ones in which they would be operating. However, conditions underground and accessibility issues have necessitated the development of a test facility for testing and validation of various sensors. The Centre for Mining Innovation (CMI), a division of the CSIR, has developed a reconfigurable stope test facility that will enable the testing of mine equipment and machinery in a variety of simulated mine environments. This is conducted without the necessity of arranging arduous and costly trips underground at multiple mines.

Biglaw, Law Firm Mergers, Partner Issues, Partner Profits
We posed this question earlier today. The answer, according to a recent news report, is yes.
The past few months have been bumpy for Bingham. In February, we reported on falling profits, partner defections, and staff layoffs. In June, we covered additional partner departures. (By the way, the two "unidentified partners" who went to Skadden turned out to be tax partners Rajiv Madan and Christopher Bowers; they left Bingham due to a client conflict.)
In recent weeks, Bingham conducted a management shake-up. And now comes word that it might be looking for a merger partner.
Keep reading for our review of the reports, plus an internal email that just went around the firm commenting on the speculation….
Here's a report from Casey Sullivan of Reuters:
[T]he 123-year-old Boston law firm Bingham McCutchen is seeking a merger with another top U.S. firm and has reached out to at least four in the past three months, sources told Reuters.
In recent weeks, Bingham has approached Chicago-based Winston & Strawn, according to three people familiar with both firms, as well as Philadelphia-based Morgan Lewis & Bockius, two other sources said.
In the spring, Bingham reached out to O'Melveny & Myers and Morrison & Foerster, according to one of the sources, although both firms rejected Bingham's overture.
An interesting collection of possible partners. Here's what one law firm consultant shared with us:
Recent history suggests that a firm does not approach Winston unless they are of the mindset to be a 'seller' in the transaction, as Winston has clearly demonstrated its orientation to cherry picking. When it tried to do a larger deal, notably with Howrey, apart from getting a Houston office there was not much it got from the endeavor….
[As for O'Melveny and MoFo,] there would be major cultural fit issues with either of these firms.
Remember, of course, that today's Bingham is already a product of multiple mergers. In 2002, Bingham Dana & Gould of Boston merged with McCutchen Doyle of San Francisco. More recently, in 2009, Bingham acquired McKee Nelson, rescuing the smaller firm during the Great Recession's darkest days.
Of the various possible partners, Morgan Lewis might be most promising, according to Reuters:
As for Morgan Lewis, one source said the two firms were moving toward an exclusivity arrangement, meaning they would not talk to any other firm about a merger while their own discussions were going on.
New York law firm consultant Bruce MacEwen said the risk of approaching numerous firms for a merger was that it created a "fire sale" effect, where competitors could swoop in under the pretense of merger talks but instead poach the firm's most important partners.
That's a fair point, by the always astute MacEwen. On the other hand, competitors are arguably already poaching partners from Bingham, as reflected in the many defections we've covered in 2014 to date.
What does Bingham have to say about the merger rumors? The firm didn't comment to Reuters, but managing partner Steven Browne just sent around a firm-wide email that we got our hands on….

Until they can actually sell their production for a reasonable price, this stock will continue to fall.
Neither Canada nor the US has built any new refineries in decades. Until this situation changes, we are at the mercy of the few remaing refiners that are presently at the end of the pipelines that we have access to.
Even shipping by rail has its limitations. I know it isn't the availability of tank cars to get it to NB refiners or to the west coast for shipment off shore.
It is simply and plainly lack of demand for the oil.
Right now there is a glut of oil all over the world. The new drilling and fracking techniques championed in North America have become globally utilized. Oil and gas fields once thought to be played out are now viable producers again. Some of those fields were shut out with less than 10% of their available resources utililized because it was uneconomical to get it out. That has all changed. It's not only the US and Canada that will become self sufficient.
Our biggest hurdle isn't so much supply of oil as refining capacity. The refineries we have now are very efficient and have been able to keep up with domestic demands with reasonable reliability.
If the economy picks up as it should, demand for refined oil products will increase in lockstep. Then, we will be crying even more because there still won't be anyone to refine our oil onshore.
The offshore companies would love our crude oil in any form. They want all of the different elements it is refined into as well. Almost all of it has some sort of financial worth and the paybacks are enormous.
We're really missing the boat here in Canada when the tree huggers are stopping the building of new refineries at strategic locations. I have no problems with making the companies complicit with proven environmental laws but to just not build them in the first place is like cutting off our noses to spite our faces.
As for all of the insider selling, they have information we don't have but many of the special interest buyers, sellers at the top do as well. Retail investors are left out of the information loop in almost all aspects, or the information is given in such a way to confuse the hell out of us.

Hello everyone,
I have a project to do and my professor wants us to create our own methods that can throw an exception. Not having any idea how to do this I check
's official site:
I looked at the first example on that page and this something similar to parseExpression(
) without putting throws
. But the complier gave me an error "unreported Exception".
I reread the criteria that we were given and realized that our professor gave us the method signature for parseExpression(String) and that it included "throws ParseException" at the end. So I added that as you can see in the code and it got rid of the syntax errors.
However when I call the method without putting it inside a try{} it compiles are runs, which it isn't meant to, the compiler should normally tell me "expection must be caught or throw". And thus this method doesn't throw a
when there is an error in String expr's format.
Help please I've only got until the end of this week to complete this.
Thanks in advance.

It should give an error unless you are again using throws in the method where you are calling parseExpression method.
FYI, All exceptions that extends
doesn't require any try/catch block.

No it doesn't give an error, that's the problem. Here is the class I used to
public class TestClass { public static void main(String[]args){ //Test simpleParseExpression("<#><opp><#>"); Expression e = Expression.simpleParseExpression("2/2+3/2-4"); System.out.println(e.result()); //Test parseExpression(String) with an error try{ Expression x = Expression.simpleParseExpression("2fd/2+3/2-4f"); System.out.println(x.result()); } catch(Exception exc){ System.out.println(exc.getMessage()); } } }
The first one gives me -2.0 as in should. And the second one gives me -2.5, when it should be giving me an error.

Ok I found my error, it was a problem with my testing code. In the second test I wrote simpleParseExpression instead of parseExpression.
All is good
Thanks for your help Sunil

text: I decided to look into a Mountain Bike for riding when I am not on the road. LBS sugested staying above the $1000 mark component wise as he thought with the componet level of my road bike I would get frustrated with low level components. He showed me a Specialized Rockhopper Expert in the $1050 range. Is there anything else out there I should look at and test ride? I am not sure how intense I will eventually get but have ruled out a cross bike. I live right beside a state park with alot of trails.

Student Symposium
I've worked in film for nine years, and I've been at USC for two semesters, but I learned more about why we make movies in my five days with [the Symposium] than in all of that time put together...
I was afraid I'd stick out like a sore thumb since I don't have any experience in film studies, but all of the students were very welcoming and willing to share their knowledge. I feel like everyone learned a lot from each other. I've never been around so many people who love film as much as I do, and I can't even begin to describe how grateful I am for that experience.
Imagine being a part of an exclusive give and take with filmmakers like Francis Ford Coppola, Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne, Errol Morris, David Fincher, Danny Boyle, Alexander Payne, Werner Herzog, Michael Haneke, Agnieszka Holland, Laura Linney, Tilda Swinton, Ken Burns, Gus Van Sant, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Mike Leigh, Diablo Cody, Lynne Ramsay, Todd Haynes, Wayne Wang, Tamara Jenkins, David Lynch, Im Kwon Taek, and Daniel Day-Lewis, to name just a few of the past participants in the Telluride Film Festival Student Symposium.
Don't just imagine it—be there. It all happens Labor Day Weekend in beautiful Telluride, Colorado. The Symposium is open to 50 college and university students, no matter what your major. Yes, there's an official application, but the primary requirements are to love film and be truly fascinated by it. All selected participants will receive a special Festival pass and a modest travel stipend—the rest is up to you.
If you're chosen, the Symposium begins Thursday afternoon and ends Monday night.
- View at least a dozen film programs over four days.
- Interact with filmmakers, actors, and other film artists including screenwriters, musicians, and producers.
- Have the time of your life in one of the most majestic and beautiful places on the planet – Telluride, Colorado.
- Live, breathe, eat, sleep film with other students and two of the best film faculty leaders you could ever wish for
- Share your experience with other passholders and film lovers from around the world.
- Make lifelong friends
And in keeping with TFF's focus on providing a celebration of film for all people who love the movies, non-film majors are encouraged to apply.
The Student Symposium begins on the afternoon of Thursday, September 2 and continues non-stop through Monday night, September 7. Expect to spend more waking hours than seems possible viewing and discussing films with Symposium faculty, guests, and other students.
We are looking for a cross-section of the college and university student population: undergraduate and graduate students; film and non-film majors; and geographical and cultural diversity. The most important qualities we seek are: passion for film, an ability to interact with other students and Symposium guests, and a willingness to follow a highly rigorous program of screenings and discussions. With only 50 slots available, each student's full commitment to the program is critical.
If you're chosen, the Symposium begins Thursday afternoon and ends Monday night. The general schedule is as follows:
- Thursday afternoon: Check-in, formal orientation
- Thursday evening: Get-acquainted gathering, film screening
- Friday afternoon: Students-only symposium
- Friday evening: Opening Night Feed, film screenings
- Saturday morning: Breakfast discussion
- Saturday all day: Film screenings
- Saturday afternoon: Students-only symposium
- Sunday and Monday: Schedules are similar to Saturday
Your exclusive student pass also provides admission to the Opening Night Feed, Labor Day Picnic, and selected other events. Films seen by the students will be chosen by the faculty of the Student Symposium and the Directors of the Festival, and the choices remain solely in their hands.
- Complete and submit application. The deadline to apply for the 2015 TFF Student Symposium has passed. See below for additional information about the application process, and please consider applying next year!
- Write an essay on the following: What film matters most to you, and why? Please give this question serious consideration in terms of film as an art and/or social force. Please limit your response to a maximum of 700 words, place your name at the top of each page, and save your essay as a PDF.
- Collect a letter from your instructor/adviser attesting to your student status and recommending you for this program. Letter should be provided on official campus letterhead and signed by your instructor or adviser, who should make sure your name is prominent at the beginning of the letter. Should your adviser choose to keep their letter private, please have him or her scan and forward directly to email@example.com , writing your name in the subject line.
- Email your essay (in PDF format) and scanned letter of recommendation to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include your name in the subject line. Receipt of application will be sent from our offices. If you do not receive notification, it is your responsibility to follow up on your application.
- If it is necessary to submit your application materials by traditional mail, please print and send to Austin Sipes at 1351 Pine St.; Santa Monica, CA 90405. If you would like acknowledgment of receipt, please include a stamped, self-addressed postcard.
Applications will be reviewed immediately following the March 22nd deadline, initial e-mail notification of acceptance will be sent by May 1st, and all final results will be mailed by mid-May. Please do not call before May 1st for results. Incomplete application packets may be immediately precluded from consideration.
For more information about the Telluride Film Festival Student Programs, please contact Austin Sipes at 310.570.3294 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
For general questions about any of our Education Programs please email firstname.lastname@example.com
For more information about sponsorship of TFF and its programs, check our sponsorship page, or contact our development department: email@example.com
The Symposium does a great job of facilitating the social experience of cinema, especially for students who are becoming more accustomed to internet streaming and home viewing in the digital age.
I found it thought-provoking and moving to discuss films with individuals who were all coming from such different walks of life in terms of age, education, film knowledge, geography, and interests.

Aleister Crowley was born in Leamington on Spa, England, on 12th October 1875 to a wealthy brewery owner.
From an early age 'Alick' was a rebellious free-thinker with a troubled home life and unhappy education at a number of private schools. Whilst his attention to studies at university was poor Aleister did discover his true calling in life. Through a chance meeting with a fellow mountaineer who had a fascination in the occult, spirituality and mysticism Aleister was spurred on to study less orthodox material.
Within a couple of years he had joined Freemasonry, rose quickly through its ranks and then moved on to become a prominent member of the Order of the Golden Dawn. In 1907 Crowley started his own occult order which he referred to as 'The Order of the Silver Star' or Argentium Astrum - one with new membership, grades and rituals. The 'Silver Star' was, of course, Sirius.
The temple and headquarters of the A.A. Order were situated in a rented flat at 124 Victoria Street, London and for the following few years became the focus for all of Crowleys' magickal activity.
The Equinox
Crowley was keen on producing a literary mouthpiece for the A.A. and its students and so began a new project which led to the publication of 'The Equinox' - a journal of magickal thought, articles and some of Crowleys' poetry. The first issue was released in March 1909 and a second one followed the following September.
In the first issue of 'The Equinox' Crowley opened the journal with a piece that expressly revealed the A.A. to a wider audience. As a result membership grew despite its limited readership. The A.A. was, or so Crowley believed, an outer order of the Secret Chiefs with whom he believed he maintained a contact through his magickal career.
The End and a New Beginning
Towards the end of a lifetime given over to the study of Magick and the development of the Law of Thelema, Crowley looked to passing the mantle of his high occult office to a young man called Kenneth Grant. Grant subsequently continued with Crowleys work and has become the foremost writer on the occult current which Crowley opened.
In his first full publication 'The Magickal Revival' Grant says of the A.A that it is '... The Great White Brotherhood (of Adepts).' by which the reader is led to believe that the A.A. was in fact an Inner Order foremost of which Crowleys' organisation was an outer manifestation. In the same publication Grant also states that '...The initials A A stand for Argenteum Astrum (the Silver Star). This is the Star of Set or Sothis (Sirius) - the sun 'in the south'...' .
Aleister Crowley and Sirius
Throughout his life Crowley continued to write and publish with great creative and enthusiastic flair; though only a few contain specific references to Sirius. Nevertheless the whole of Crowleys' magickal philosophy, from his development as a young Freemason through to his final years as the Head of the OTO, is wholey in accordance with the Sirian influence which other writers of his era have identified and expressed.
In 1904, whilst on holiday in Egypt with his wife, Crowley was contacted by a super-human intelligence who advised him to prepare for a great message from the Secret Chiefs.
Over three consecutive days Crowley transcribed the dictations that were fed to him into written form and the result was 'The Book of the Law: Liber Al Vel Legis' Crowley believed the source of these transmissions to have been from his Higher Guardian Angel which he associated with Sirius. Crowleys' famous poem 'One Star in Sight' is also believed to be a reference to the Dog Star Sirius.
The man I come, the numbers of A man my number, Lion of Light;
I am The Beast whose Law is Love. Love under will, his royal right - Behold within, and not above, One Star in Sight
Extract from 'One Star in Sight' - Magick by Aleister Crowley

The rise of the Indian information technology industry is a remarkable economic success story. Software and services exports from India amounted to less than $100 million in 1990, and today come close to $100 billion. But, as Dinesh Sharma explains in The Outsourcer, Indian IT's success has a long prehistory; it did not begin with software support, or with American firms' eager recruitment of cheap and plentiful programming labor, or with India's economic liberalization of the 1990s.
Maps of physical spaces locate us in the world and help us navigate unfamiliar routes. Maps of topical spaces help us visualize the extent and structure of our collective knowledge; they reveal bursts of activity, pathways of ideas, and borders that beg to be crossed. This book, from the author of Atlas of Science, describes the power of topical maps, providing readers with principles for visualizing knowledge and offering as examples forty large-scale and more than 100 small-scale full-color maps.
The New York Times declared 2012 to be "The Year of the MOOC" as millions of students enrolled in massive open online courses (known as MOOCs), millions of investment dollars flowed to the companies making them, and the media declared MOOCs to be earth-shaking game-changers in higher education. During the inevitable backlash that followed, critics highlighted MOOCs' high dropout rate, the low chance of earning back initial investments, and the potential for any earth-shaking game change to make things worse instead of better.
In this book, Ronald Day offers a critical history of the modern tradition of documentation. Focusing on the documentary index (understood as a mode of social positioning), and drawing on the work of the French documentalist Suzanne Briet, Day explores the understanding and uses of indexicality. He examines the transition as indexes went from being explicit professional structures that mediated users and documents to being implicit infrastructural devices used in everyday information and communication acts.
The computer systems of government agencies are notoriously complex. New technologies are piled on older technologies, creating layers that call to mind an archaeological dig. Obsolete programming languages and closed mainframe designs offer barriers to integration with other agency systems. Worldwide, these unwieldy systems waste billions of dollars, keep citizens from receiving services, and even—as seen in interoperability failures on 9/11 and during Hurricane Katrina—cost lives.
Through five editions since 1981, this book has offered the most comprehensive accessible guide available to all aspects of copyright law. Now, with the sixth edition, The Copyright Book has been thoroughly updated to cover copyright for the Internet age, discussing a range of developments in the law since 2000.
Bibliometrics has moved well beyond the mere tracking of bibliographic citations. The web enables new ways to measure scholarly productivity and impact, making available tools and data that can reveal patterns of intellectual activity and impact that were previously invisible: mentions, acknowledgments, endorsements, downloads, recommendations, blog posts, tweets.
In Information and Intrigue Colin Burke tells the story of one man's plan to revolutionize the world's science information systems and how science itself became enmeshed with ideology and the institutions of modern liberalism. In the 1890s, the idealistic American Herbert Haviland Field established the Concilium Bibliographicum, a Switzerland-based science information service that sent millions of index cards to American and European scientists. Field's radical new idea was to index major ideas rather than books or documents.
This book explores alternative cultural encounters with and around information technologies. These encounters are alternative because they counter dominant, Western-oriented notions of media consumption; they include media practices as forms of cultural resistance and subversion, "DIY cultures," and other nonmainstream models of technology production. The contributors—leading thinkers in science and technology studies, anthropology, and software design—pay special attention to the specific inflections that different cultures and communities give to the value of knowledge.
In the age of Big Data, the tools of information visualization offer us a macroscope to help us make sense of the avalanche of data available on every subject. This book offers a gentle introduction to the design of insightful information visualizations. It is the only book on the subject that teaches nonprogrammers how to use open code and open data to design insightful visualizations. Readers will learn to apply advanced data mining and visualization techniques to make sense of temporal, geospatial, topical, and network data.
