Cyanogen Inc hires high-ranking industry execs
Cyanogen, the company, is not your grandfather's CyanogenMod, so to speak. The company is slowly growing beyond its "indie" roots to become an Android startup to really reckon with. And this batch of hirings, bearing names from some big industry players, shows just how much the company wants to be taken seriously.
Dave Herman is now the Vice-President of Products. Herman has held undisclosed key roles in Hulu, Amazon, and Microsoft and is said to have been responsible for a number of popular products. Former Director of Engineering at HTC, Tyler Carper joins Cyanogen, Inc. as the new VP of Engineering. Last but not the least is Vik Natarajan who was the former VP for Corporate Marketing in MediaTek, now holding Cyanogen's top role for Global Partnerships and Distribution.
But what do these hires mean in practice. For one, it reflects Cyanogen Inc's vision as a truly competitive company, with positions you'd only hear about in businesses. It might just be titles for some, but it does give it an air of credibility when striking up partnerships with OEM's like OPPO and OnePlus. Secondly, it expands Cyanogen's knowledge and expertise beyond its comfort zone. The company truly started off as a bunch of Android enthusiasts creating one of the most popular custom ROMs. Now they're equipping themselves to deal with hardware, markets, and business from all over the world.
Fears of Cyanogen Inc turning evil when it went corporate have so far not materialized, though some might perhaps argue that it is still too early to say so. Cyanogen Inc has continued to work closely with the community side of CyanogenMod, carrying over changes and new features it implemented in OnePlus' CyanogenMod 11S and even making available its new Theme Engine to AOSP and other ROMs. But even if Cyanogen Inc should fall from grace, the Android community can rest easy that others like Paranoid Android, OmniROM and many more will be ready to step up.

Atari to bring RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile to Android this Winter
Atari is a name that many of you will be familiar with. The younger generation might not be very familiar with the company that pioneered the gaming industry so many years ago. In a recent press release that just hit our inbox Atari announced a few things that they will be doing to make a corporate comeback.
"Atari is more than a game publishing company; it's an iconic brand that has established a passionate and timeless culture," said Fred Chesnais, Chief Executive Officer, Atari, Inc. "Known across multiple generations around the world, Atari will continue to embrace all audiences. What the company has accomplished over the years is no small feat, but there is more to come. We're looking forward to delivering on our new strategy and engaging with our audience in new ways across multiple channels as the next era of Atari unfolds. We are leading a rebuilding exercise in a highly volatile industry, so at the same time we are also aware of the challenges that lay ahead."
A few bullet points from the release shed light on plans for social casinos, real-money gambling and YouTube with exclusive video content. We are a bit more interested in their mobile endeavors though. The current Atari offerings in the Play Store are slim with a greatest hits title and a stand alone Centipedes: Origins and Circus Atari. A small mention near the end of the release is what caught our attention though. Later in the winter of this year, Atari will be bringing RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile to Android.
Unfortunately that means the iOS users have a big jump on the game as it has been available for a number of months already. Such is the way of mobile games though. I remember spending countless hours building parks and creating roller coasters from the ground up. Atari also mentions there will be a multiplayer PC version coming around the same time. So that should be cool, as long as they don't make it some silly Facebook game.
Will RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile be on your wishlist until it is launched? I know I will be setting reminders to check back in the next few months.
Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 Technology Available In Japan This Year
What happens when your smartphone runs out of battery power? Normally you would have to leave it plugged into its wall charger which usually takes around 7 hours. What if there is a way to cut this time by as much as 75 percent? Getting a smartphone to fully charge will then only take around 2 to 3 hours.
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., has developed a technology that does his which is called Quick Charge 2.0 and it's going to be available for use in Japan this year. The company has partnered with NTT DOCOMO to test out Quick Charge 2.0′s rapid charging capabilities.
According to Alex Katouzian, senior vice president, product management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., "Japan has been ahead of the curve when it comes to the adoption of innovative technology. The commitment demonstrated from a leading technology carrier like DOCOMO is an important step towards a strong Quick Charge 2.0 ecosystem in Japan and beyond. We look forward to continuing the integration of Quick Charge 2.0 technology within the mobile industry to further enhance the consumer experience."
Quick Charge 2.0 is an improvement over the Quick Charge 1.0 technology. The latter can only provide up to 10 watts of power while the former can provide a power of as high as 60 watts which effectively cuts the amount of time needed to charge a mobile device by as much as 75 percent.
Kazuaki Terunuma, Vice President and Managing Director of Communication Device Development Department at NTT DOCOMO, said that "With insatiable consumer usage of their devices, faster charging is more important than ever to bring enhanced convenience to the mobile experience. DOCOMO expects the promise of true fast charging can finally be realized with the introduction of Quick Charge 2.0 into commercial devices and a supporting ecosystem."
Not all smartphone models will be able to support this new technology as certain requirements must first be met. First, the device itself must be capable of supporting the Quick Charge 2.0 technology which can be through a standalone IC solution or through the PMIC power management integrated circuit of Snapdragon 800, 600, and 400 processors. Next, a compatible wall charger must also be used which contains specific circuitry to take advantage of this fast charging technology.
NTT DOCOMO will be providing its customers with new Quick Charge 2.0 wall chargers later this year which they can use with their compatible devices. Customers will still be able to use their old Quick Charge 1.0 charger on their devices however the time needed to fully charge the device will be longer.
After the introduction of this technology in Japan it is expected to be available to the rest of the world soon.

4K tablets on the horizon
We're at a point where we're going to 4K all the things. We are seeing 4K televisions, laptops and with smartphone manufacturers also toying with the idea of making 2K and 4K smartphones it would only be a matter of time before we'd see tablets make the same leap. If Japan Display, Inc. is any indicator, tablets may be making that leap sooner rather than later. The company just announced a 10.1 inch display with a resolution of 3840 x 2160. That's a whopping 438 ppi for a tablet — something that hasn't been done on a tablet yet. Currently the GalaxyPRO 8.4 holds the most pixels per inch with 359.
JDI is even using an RGB pixel matrix meaning that they aren't using trickery techniques to achieve this resolution. The screen boasts a 1100:1 contrast ratio and allows for a 160-degree viewing angle. It also boasts a peak brightness of 400 nits. Power consumption and battery life are a concern but it looks like the company has that handled as well.
Of course, as of right now, there is no word on which companies are lining up to get their hands on these displays but we can guess that there will be many.

Motorola Solutions signs licensing agreement with Microsoft
Motorola Solutions has today signed a licensing agreement with Microsoft. It is important to remember that Motorola Solutions is NOT Motorola Mobility, which is the company that has released the Moto X and Moto G. Motorola Solutions is essentially the half of Motorola that Google left behind when they bought the smartphone half of the company.
According to the agreement it seems that Microsoft and Motorola Solutions have set their eyes on the mobile market, including devices both Android and Chrome OS. Hit the break for more info and the press release.
This is not the first licensing agreement that Microsoft has signed. They've signed agreements in the past with companies like Samsung and HTC. In fact, these deals have brought in more than $2 billion a year in revenue for Microsoft.
We still don't know the exact terms of the agreement, but more details should be released soon.
Microsoft and Motorola Solutions sign licensing agreement
Agreement with Motorola Solutions covers devices running Android and Chrome.
REDMOND, Wash. — April 21, 2014 — Microsoft Corp. announced on Monday a patent licensing agreement with Motorola Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of communication solutions and services for enterprise and government customers. The license provides worldwide coverage under Microsoft's patent portfolio for Motorola Solutions' devices running the Android™ platform and Chrome OS™ operating system.
"Microsoft and Motorola Solutions share a respect for intellectual property and a commitment to fair and reasonable patent licensing programs," said Nick Psyhogeos, general manager, associate general counsel, IP licensing of the Innovation and Intellectual Property Group at Microsoft. "Microsoft prefers licensing to litigation, since licensing is a more effective way to share technology and accelerate the pace of innovation."
"Our Motorola Solutions communications technology works best for everyone when it is backed with robust intellectual property and patents," said Joe White, vice president of Enterprise Mobile Computing, Motorola Solutions. "We are pleased to have agreed upon a solution that allows our customers to purchase Android products from Motorola Solutions with confidence."
Microsoft's commitment to licensing IP
The patent agreement is another example of the important role intellectual property (IP) plays in ensuring a healthy and vibrant technology ecosystem. Since Microsoft launched its IP licensing program in December 2003, the company has entered into more than 1,100 licensing agreements and continues to develop programs that open Microsoft's IP portfolio for customers, partners and competitors. The program was developed to provide access to Microsoft's significant R&D investments and its growing, broad patent and IP portfolio. Microsoft's specific patent licensing program for Android device-makers has resulted in signed license agreements with numerous companies, including Samsung, ZTE, LG, HTC, Acer and Barnes & Noble.

CyanogenMod 11 M5 pushing out to download servers
M5 builds of CM 11 are getting trickling out to servers over at CyanogenMod, Inc according to a blog post from the folks over at CyanogenMod. They give a little insight on why some Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4 devices were left out (spoiler: one release won't work well on every phone) but we're told not to worry. Click through for the mini-changelog.
CyanogenMod reveals new branding that represents openness, security and customization
Well, folks, it looks like CyanogenMod, Inc. is starting to shape up to look like a real legit company. The company has already made big deals with phone manufacturers and successfully raised a good deal of money to help in their endeavors, and now they are making some changes to the way they present themselves.
Introducing the new CyanogenMOd branding. The logo sits above — clean, cool, calm, collected, and cyan. Oh, yes, lots of cyan. But the logo isn't just a pretty collection of lines and pleasing colors. CyanogenMod designed it to be a symbol.
We'll start with the centerpiece, which is said to be the heart of the logo. It represents the user, and their ability to customize the experience to fit their needs. That is to say, the user is the most important aspect of everything CyanogenMod does, and there will always be a commitment to give you the flexibility to do what you want and need.
Tying into that flexiblity is openness, because nothing says customizable like being able to get your paws wet deep within the source code. CyanogenMod is always open source, so you can take a build, do what you'd like with it and build it for yourself. Of course, the company expects proper credit should you publicly distribute it for others to use, but they aren't asking for much more than that.
Finally, the user should be able to do all of this with a platform that they can be sure is secure. No NSA backdoors, no snooping, no nothing — simply use it, and have peace of mind doing so. That's the CyanogeMod way.
What's going to happen with Cid, the former mascot and logo? Well, he's not going anywhere — he'll be a staple of the vast community that surrounds CyanogenMod, and he'll be along for the ride to see everyone through all the highs (and maybe some lows) in this exciting ride.
We like it. Nay, we love it, and everything that it stands for. Branding seems so simple from the outside looking in, but it's these core values CyanogenMod were built on, and we're glad to see that the company hasn't lost sight of that even in their proudest moments. Be sure to read their take over at the CyanogenMod blog.
Cyanogen Inc. unveils their new logos and branding
Back in September, the CyanogenMod team went commercial and became CyanogenMod, Inc. Since then, they've been busy working with the likes of Oppo on the their N1 smartphone but it has come time once again to evolve and as such, they've now unveiled their new brand identity, logos and highlighted their core values.

Disney games go on a massive post-holiday sale
With the holidays practically over, shops and retailers are giving one last hoorah to holiday sales and promos. In that spirit, Google Play Store has just announced a huge discount on some of Disney's games both for the young and the young at heart.
Disney's game collection on Android mostly revolve around the company's iconic characters, like Mickey Mouse, Perry from Phineas and Ferb, or Mike and Sully from Monsters, Inc. Some are simply themed variations of well-known games and puzzles but not all of the games are for kids only. Some cater to older audiences, notably different versions of Temple Run that revolve around Disney films like Oz and Brave.
If any of these tickled your fancy or that of your young ones, now might just be the right time to get your hands full with some of them. Google has just announced a big 90% discount off some of the titles. However, one problem with such free or low-priced apps and games is that you might be required to make some in-app purchase later on in order to advance, which seems to be especially the case with this Disney collection.
Still, the $0.49 price tag might be quite tempting and might just be enough to keep some toddlers busy for a good number of hours. Google hasn't mentioned how long the sale will last, but it isn't hard to imagine that it might end in a few days or a week at most.

CyanogenMod Reaches 10 Million Devices, Oppo N1 CM Edition Gets a Promo Video
Despite Google's best efforts, some smartphone and tablet manufacturers are perfectly content to allow their devices to languish, never to receive the latest version of Android through any sort of official channel. That's where Cyanogen, Inc. comes in: the newly incorporated company promises customized versions of Android that, in addition to providing the latest AOSP has to offer, are much more feature-rich than OEM firmware. Installation of CyanogenMod software requires a compatible device and foreknowledge of certain dev tools, of course, but it remains the most consumer-friendly third-party ROM available.
Apparently, the promise of Android updates is attractive to a vast number of smartphone and tablet users: more than 10 million devices are running the ROM. That's according to a Google+ post by Steve Kondik, CTO of CyanogenMod.
To clarify, 10 million is an estimate; only users who voluntarily report activity via CMStats, a built-in analytic service, are counted. Still, the number is impressive, and certainly an indication that the desire for aftermarket Android solutions is growing.
Perhaps in celebration of the milestone (and the additional $23 million in funding they just took in), Cyanogen took to YouTube to promote the Oppo N1, the first-ever CyanogenMod-certified smartphone. Launching December 24, it's the fledgling company's first attempt to translate its software success to the hardware business. As you can imagine, we'll be keeping a keen eye on this first phone attempt, as well as any others that come through this ROM-turned-corporate entity.

The post Disney offering several Android games for $0.49 this holiday season appeared first on The Droid Guy.
Disney puts 12 games on sale for $.49, grab them while you can
In case you haven't realized it, Disney has a pretty big presence in the Google Play Store. If it's not cute brain puzzlers like Where's My Water and Where's My Perry, it's Disney-infused versions of games like Temple Run: Oz and Temple Run: Brave. No matter what your taste is, though, you can grab all of their paid titles on sale for a limited time.
They're all $.49, which is a small price to pay for the hours of time-draining fun these games can provide. Here's the full list of titles up for grabs at this irresistible price point (there are 12 in all):
- Disney Christmas Tree
- JellyCar 3
- Monsters University
- Monsters, Inc. Run
- Temple Run: Oz
- Toy Story: Smash It!
- Temple Run: Brave
- Where's My Mickey?
- Where's My Mickey? XL
- Where's My Perry?
- Where's My Water?
- Wreck-it Ralph
These titles are normally $2-3, so you're saving more than just a few pieces of copper if you decide to bite on any of them. It's also worth noting that some of these titles are available in free flavoring, though you can expect ads for the privilege of not having to pay out of your pocket. Be sure to take a look at Disney's full list of titles available in the Google Play Store.
Disney locks down a Christmas deal, 12 apps on sale for $0.49
Looking to fill your phone or tablet full of Disney games to keep your kids entertained before the holiday festivities? I know I am. It looks like Disney pulled in some favors and has managed to get, for now, 12 games in the their Play Store portfolio on sale for $0.49. Last I checked, but I could be wrong, the lowest price you can list an app for is $0.99. So, what do you look to gain? Well, you could hit up their developer page and take a look at all their apps for yourself, or just check out the ones on sale in the list below.
- Disney Christmas Tree
- JellyCar 3
- Monsters University
- Monsters, Inc. Run
- Temple Run: Oz
- Temple Run: Brave
- Toy Story: Smash It!
- Where's My Mickey?
- Where's My Mickey? XL
- Where's My Perry?
- Where's My Water?
- Wreck-it Ralph
There are also a number of other games that have always been free, but are offering in-app purchase sales.
- Seven Dwarfs: Queens Return - 15% extra gold
- My Muppets Show – 30% extra Diamonds
- Disney Hidden Worlds - 30% more gems
Better get to business, I'm sure the little ones will appreciate it. I wonder if it's only 12 apps to hint towards the 12 days of Christmas, or if its just a handy coincidence.

Mysterieuze foggy sfeer.
Geweldige foto en de titel is perfect...
Geweldige foto en de titel is perfect...
Het enige wat nog mist is een oude man met lange baard in witte gewaden hehe .. en nogmaals dank voor de feature!
Why aren't you sure you like it? I think it's lovely
Love the lighting here!
Looks amazing! I love the colours!
I love the tree silhouettes. I have no idea why, but I think they just look beautiful. Sort of eerie, but beautiful.
Wow, this is wonderful and I really like this for a lot of reasons - why don't you like it? The placement of the tree and the stairs is very nicely and aesthetically balanced. The shadows and lights can really be stared at forever, especially the juxtaposition between the dark wall and the staircase's glow. Lastly, your title made me smile.
I do like it, but I wasn't sure it was interesting enough for my dA page. Your comment makes me happy that I've uploaded it
This is awesome - love it !
ik vind hem wel vet hoor!

Her constant companion is her furry, black spider Mr. Long Legs, whose unblinking gaze matches her own. The other kids give them a wide berth- especially when Weird Girl rambles about being a princess from another world and Mr. Long Legs' dreams. On top of her head, she wears a crown that she found in a strange pink trunk that was buried in her neighbors back yard. She also carries a potion bottle and a mysterious key that's attached to her dress. Thus, making her even Weirder.


text: I am familiar with the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the system [tex] \dot{x} = f(x) [/tex] requiring [tex]f(x)[/tex] to be Lipschitz continuous, but I am wondering what the conditions are for the system [tex] \dot{q}(x) = f(x) [/tex]. It seems like I could make the same argument for there existing a unique [tex]q(x)[/tex] provided [tex]f(x)[/tex] is Lipschitz with respect to [tex]q(x)[/tex]. Then if [tex]q(x)[/tex] is invertible or one-to-one or whatever the proper math term is, then I can get a unique [tex]x[/tex]. Is that correct? If that's the case it looks like I'm just doing a nonlinear change of coordinates, showing uniqueness in that coordinate system, and then having a unique map back to the original coordinate system.

Ser Stafford Lannister is a knight of House Lannister. He is the brother-in-law to the ruling lord as his sister Joanna married their cousin Lord Tywin Lannister.[3]
In his youth he was captured by Lady Ellyn Tarbeck in retaliation for the imprisonment of her husband, Lord Walderan Tarbeck. Ser Jaime Lannister and Ser Brynden Tully are both unimpressed by Stafford's capacities as a war leader.[4][5]
Recent Events
A Clash of Kings
After the defeat of Ser Jaime Lannister Stafford started raising a new army near Lannisport. Because the force consisted of inexperienced men, it took a long time to train them.[5]
With the castles guarding the main entrance to the Westerlands in the hands of the Lannisters, Stafford felt safe and did not post sentries. This was his downfall. The Stark army invaded the west through a hidden path in the mountains. Unseen by the guardian castles on the main road, they descended on Stafford's army in the night. The surprised Lannister host was unable to fight back and was routed. Stafford himself was killed by Lord Rickard Karstark when he tried to reach his horse.[2] After Stafford's death, his more capable son Ser Daven takes charge of his branch of House Lannister.
Stafford is married to Myranda Lefford with whom he has three children, Ser Daven, Cerenna and Myrielle Lannister.[3][6]

This is getting better & better, as you explore more & more the Pevensie's. The highs & lows of their lives after their returns from Narnia. It could not be easy to go from being a ruler who'd had toal care of a country for in CS Lewis story of Narnia. Back to children in the care of adults. I wonder how many times they all thought I could do this better, or when being told something by some adult yes I know that. Very hard.
Looking forwards to the next chapter.

LITTLETON — He's big, he's fast, he's physical and his journey from a troubled background to a commitment to play running back at the University of Colorado is a storybook tale.
But the first question Littleton all-state running back Mister Jones gets after meeting someone new is almost never about his football exploits.
"Is that your real name?"
Jones laughs. It sure is. His full name is Mister Quincy Jones, in honor of the multiple Grammy winner.
Tasha Jones was 18 when she got pregnant with her first child. Like many young mothers, she didn't know how much her life was about to change, especially after the father "wouldn't claim him."
Tasha did love the music of Quincy Jones, namely his sultry 1990 No. 1 hit single "The Secret Garden," and wanted to name her newborn son Quincy, but grandma had a slightly different idea.
"She said he's going to be a great kid, and he was going to make it through life even if his daddy wouldn't claim him," Tasha Jones said. "She wanted his daddy and everyone to see what they were missing. She wanted to give him a name to stand up because he changed the whole family when he was born."
Jones is now preparing to make a name for himself on a bigger stage.
Blessed with eye-popping athletic ability, he stands 6-feet-2, weighs 210 pounds and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.55 seconds. He has rushed for 669 yards, averaging 7.7 yards per carry, and scored 13 touchdowns for the Class 4A Lions (6-1), who appear playoff-bound.
Jones considers his gifts a blessing, and he can't wait to see where it will take him.
"Four years go fast," he said. "I wanted to see myself have a good, healthy senior year."
Home away from home
Tasha credits Mister, and her four other younger children, for keeping her away from the pull of the streets. She admits to living a "hard" life, scraping by and constantly on the move with her family, but she said she has always tried to teach her children life lessons, even if that painful example hit close to home.
She remembers standing in line at the welfare office and reminding Mister, then a young child, "this is what happens when you don't have an education."
While living in Oklahoma, Tasha had a special treat for Mister on his eighth birthday. She took him to visit her brother, who is serving a life sentence in prison. Tasha hoped having her brother talk to Mister about making better decisions as an adult would help him.
"It definitely made an impact on me. . . . I don't want to have my kids go through the things that I went through," Mister Jones said.
The family was constantly on the go, finding shelter where it could, often with relatives, from Nebraska to Illinois, New Mexico to Arizona, and points in between. Tasha Jones moved her family to Colorado roughly five years ago and by her account, life began spiraling out of control about a year later, after the death of her father and her husband leaving her. Worried about her ability to care for kids, she sought help.
She found Brian Kula, who first met Mister Jones when the young running back was an eighth-grader playing on a Littleton "feeder" team. Kula, who coached football and track at Littleton, spent extra time training Jones, and got to know him, and how difficult his home life had become.
"He was one of those kids that I attached to quickly," said Kula, who this past summer took an assistant football coaching job at Valor Christian. "And I could tell he had some needs."
After days of prayer and what he calls a strong sense of "Christian duty," Brian Kula and his wife and two children opened their home to Mister Jones, then a freshman at Littleton High School.
Jones estimates he spends about 11 months of the year staying with the Kulas, and the rest of the time with his mother and younger brother, who live in Englewood. His three sisters live with their grandmother in Denver.
He considers Brian Kula a father figure. Paige, 10, and AJ, 7, call Mister Jones their big brother.
"He's a kid that has a huge heart for other kids," Kula said. "Mister has a heart for the Lord. He's a teenager like everyone else that makes mistakes, but he's the kind of kid that is very loving."
Mister loves his second family, and he understands why his mother wanted it to be this way.
"To me, it's a good experience knowing I got a family that is going to support me in any way and that just tells me to think about how I should be living," Jones said.
Dreaming of Ralphie
Wherever Ben Hranchak goes on the football field, Mister Jones follows. The reason you've probably never heard of Hranchak is because he toils quietly as the Lions' fullback.
But when a running play comes in, Hranchak reminds Jones to stay right on his back.
"It's really nice to know you have a back right behind you that's running his (backside) off," Hranchak said.
Jones can run the 100-meter dash in 11 seconds flat. He added muscle and bulk through a summer of weight lifting, but he has not lost his acceleration. He has shown the speed to avoid tacklers and explode around the edge, but he has the size to run between the tackles.
"He's a pretty competitive kid and he wants to play at a high level," Lions coach Chad Koepke said.
Jones said Colorado is a "dream school" for him. He said he got a kick out of Colorado's upset last week of Kansas last Saturday, considering a Jayhawks' coach told him before the game he was about to see why Kansas would be a better choice.
He envisions playing running back for the Buffs and breaking off the kind of long runs that brings fans to their feet.
"It brings a lot of excitement when you get the big runs," he said.
There's definitely something special about this kid. You, however, can call him Mister.

A Magical Stay at The Foot of Pendle Hill
The Pendle Inn • Lancashire, United Kingdom
Escape Kit
- Two-Night Stay for Two People
- Three-Course Dinner on First Evening with After Dinner Coffee
- Wine if Returning to Dine on Second Evening
- Late Checkout
Back in the 17th century, the borough of Pendle in Lancashire was the site of some of history's most famous witch trials. Nowadays, a little village at the foot of Pendle Hill is making a name for itself as a haven for walkers, hang-gliders, and paragliders—all of whom use Barley as the starting point for their excursions. Whether you're more interested in picturesque English scenery or gruesome tales of ancient magic, point your broom at this week's Escape to the village's very own Pendle Inn.
The friendly 1920s public house welcomes guests of all magical persuasions: for two nights, you and a fellow conjuror will lay your pointy black hats in your own self-catering cottage complete with bedroom, en suite, lounge, and fully equipped kitchen—all for £99 (up to a £204.35 value).
There's no need to lug your cauldron along with you: a three-course dinner each with coffee on the first night is included with your stay. The magicians in the CAMRA hotel's kitchen use locally sourced ingredients to stir up dishes for The Book of Spells—expect the likes of 'An Eye of Newt', comprising eight ounces of gammon steak, homemade chips, pineapple, and free range egg; or 'The Spell is Broken', a chicken Sinatra with mushrooms, bacon, double cream, and basmati rice. Meet again here on the second night and when you dine, receive a bottle of wine into the bargain.
There's no need for toil and trouble to find fun in the area—make the most of your late checkout by taking the Pendle Witch Trail from Barley over the hill, through an Area of Outstanding National Beauty, and into nearby Newchurch and Roughlee. Alternatively, be spellbound by another historic site at Bancroft Mill, wave your wand and reappear in the Victorian courtyard of Pendle Village Mill shopping outlet, or summon up a visit to one of the nearby farms and markets.
"But the village also has another gem in the form of The Pendle Inn nestled at the base of the hill. The country pub has just what you might hope for—roaring fires, home-cooked food and local real ales."-- Lancashire Telegraph

News Physics vs Standard Model --"Capable of Describing Only 35% of the Universe"
No one knows for sure, but it is not at all unlikely that the universe is constructed in a very different way than the theories and models of today predict. The most widely used model today cannot explain everything in the universe, and therefore there is a need to explore the parts of nature which the model cannot explain. This research field is called "New Physics," and it turns our understanding of the universe upside down.
According to the supersymmetry theory, each particle has a partner somewhere in the universe - these have not yet been found though. According to the technicolor theory there is a special techni-force that binds so-called techni-quarks, which can form other particles - perhaps this is how the Higgs particle is formed. This could explain the problems with the current model of the Higgs particle.
Together with colleagues Stanley J. Brodsky from Stanford University in the U.S. and Xing-Gang Wu from Chongqing University in China, Mojaza has now succeeding in creating a new method that can make it easier to search for new physics in the universe. The method is a so called scale-setting procedure, and it fills out some empty, but very important, holes in the theories, models and simulations, which form the basis for all particle physics today. "With this method we can eliminate much of the uncertainty in theories and models of today," says Matin Mojaza.
Many theories and models in particle physics today has the problem that they, together with their predictions, provide some parameters that scientists do not know how to set.
"Physicists do not know what values they should give these parameters. For example, when we study the Standard Model and see these unknown parameters, we cannot know whether they should be interpreted as conditions that support or oppose to the Standard Model – this makes it quite difficult to study the Standard Model accurately enough to investigate its value", explains Matin Mojaza.
With the new approach researchers can now completely clean their models for the unknown parameters and thus become better at assessing whether a theory or a model holds water.
The standard model has for the last 50 years been the prevailing theory of how the universe is constructed. According to this theory, 16 (17 if we include the Higgs particle) subatomic particles form the basis for everything in the universe. But the Standard Model is starting to fall short, so it is now necessary to look for new physics in the universe. One of the Standard Model's major problems is that it cannot explain gravity, and another is that it cannot explain the existence of dark matter, believed to make up app. 25 percent of all matter in the universe. In addition, the properties of the newly discovered Higgs particle, as described in the standard model, is incompatible with a stable universe.
"A part of the Standard Model is the theory of quantum chromodynamics, and this is one of the first things, we want to review with our new method, so that we can clean it from the uncertainties," explains Matin Mojaza.
The theory of quantum chromodynamics predicts how quarks (such as protons and neutrons) and gluons (particles that keeps quarks in place inside the protons and neutrons) interact.
Matin and his Chinese and American colleagues now estimate that there may be a basis for reviewing many scientific calculations to clean the results from uncertainties and thus obtain a more reliable picture of whether the results support or contradict current models and theories.
"Maybe we find new indications of new physics, which we would not have exposed if we had not had this new method", says Matin Mojaza.
According to Rolf-Dieter Heuer, director of CERN in Switzerland, the Standard Model cannot be the ultimate theory, and it is only capable of describing about 35 percent of the universe. Like CP3-Origins, CERN has put its focus on weeding out old theories and search for new physics – this will occur in 2015, when the LHC accelerator starts up again (LHC manet shown above).
CP3-Origins is a center at University of Southern Denmark, researching in the physics beyond the Standard Model. The center focuses on topics such as dark matter, the formation of matter in the universe, and the mystery of what the Higgs particle might consist of.
The Daily Galaxy via University of Southern Denmark
The Electric Universe Theory stands ready to fill in the blanks! Why the scientific community has ignored the electric nature of our universe is beyond me considering the electromagnetic force is 10 to the 39th power stronger than gravity!
Deficiencies in the Standard Model are being compounded by ambiguous interpretation of experimental results in a desperate attempt to support a failing model; in not adequately explaining the majority of observable reality. An example of this is the Higgs boson where its mass cannot explain the combine mass of the top quark and its antiparticle; necessary if the Higgs is to explain the masses of ALL elementary particles.
The origin of mass stems from pure energy rolled up into absolute dense balls where distinct volumes culminate in known particles. Experimentally measured radii of particles show there is, for both composite and elementary particles, a simple correlation between their mass and size, as presented in my 'Fundamental Principle of Mass':
Energies involved will then go towards explaining neutrino oscillations and that so called massless particles must have volume in that they have differentiating size and mass, and although extremely small, will be proportional to the energy they carry.
There is a need, if scientific knowledge is to advance, to go beyond the current Standard Model to include explanation as to dark matter and dark energy and where gravity is also very much integral to this new model. Sometimes it necessitates or useful to take current knowledge and start again by using an established paradigm; by using a methodological approach from the most fundamental level and rebuild from there. This I have attempted as a contributive start in my paper 'Theoretical principle model of forces':
Very nice post David, thank you for sharing the spreadsheet.
Consider also the shape of the swirling vortexes of energy. They can be balls, but also shells and intertwined rings.
WOW! A great paper on forces:
You mean there is a fifth force of nature that we don't know about? That could explain dark energy.
Quantum Uncertainty; not being capable of explaining the 35% of the "known" universe (thinking optimisticly); not capable of explaining or even properly describe time; and still so many not willing to admit and seek the creator of all things?
(Some questions throw an answer that shows the inmense canyon between intelligence and wisdom.)
Energy is a construct , nothing more . There is force . Movement is a manifestation .
One of the greatest failures of the Standard Model was the "galactic rotation anomaly" that leads to the invention of "dark matter" because the stars in the Milky Way don´t follow the "celestial laws of motion around a gravity centre" which is just another "inventional law" regarding the motions in the solar system.
The movements in our galaxy is a full hydromagnetic circuit in a spherical 3D motion and the solar system is an integrated orbiting and formational part of the overall galactic formation and therefore the solar system gets all rotations and motions from the galactic momentum where large spheres of gas and matter are gently slung out via the Milky Way bars in a helical pattern which both gives rotation and orbital motion to stars, planets and moons etc.
"Gravity" is an illusion and weight is generally speaking just a pressure that origin from a planets orbital speed around the Sun pressing on the different and fluent layers in the atmosphere.
These explanations should be a significant part of the "new physics".
Ivar Nielsen
Natural Philosopher
Aether has mass, physically occupies three dimensional space and is physically displaced by particles of matter.
There is no such thing as non-baryonic dark matter anchored to matter.
Matter moves through and displaces the aether.
The Milky Way's halo is what is referred to as the curvature of spacetime.
The Milky Way's halo is the state of displacement of the aether.
The geometrical representation of gravity as curved spacetime physically exists in nature as the state of displacement of the aether.
Displaced aether pushing back and exerting inward pressure toward matter is gravity.
A moving particle has an associated aether displacement wave. In a double slit experiment the particle travels through a single slit and the associated wave in the aether passes through both.
I beg you, to take a quick look, at the book, "From the inside of quarks and up to beyond the Universe". I am sure you will find answers to many of your concerns.
If you like to know a revolutionairy cosmological theory that explains everything you want to know about the Universe try my book Two timeless theories. The book shows why the constant of light speed is a loop thus staying constant and much more.
