text: Was Da Vinci the right (renaissance) man for the job? Wired Blog 02 February 10 by Tom Cheshire http://www.flickr.com/photos/84299143@N00/2448562117/Flickr CC: Student of Rhythm Leonardo Da Vinci was master of many arts, but it seems that writing a CV wasn't one of them. In 1482, the Renaissance polymath, perhaps most famous for appearing in Assassin's Creed 2, wrote to the Duke of Milan, offering his services as an arms manufacturer.Stone has transcribed the text and it's a fascinating read. Da Vinci lays out his relevant skills and experience in bullet point fashion, describing mortars that are "most convenient and easy to carry" and promising that "in cases of need I will make big guns."Impressive skills, but relevant in the modern job market? Wired asked Gordon Chesterman, Director of the Careers Service at the University of Cambridge, for a consultation."I doubt he'd get an interview in today's recruitment market. His CV is all I, I, I - no mention whatsoever of any teamwork, people management skills or teamwork. I can't believe he built all these wonderful things entirely on his own. "And what about commercial awareness? No mention of any budgetary control, meeting financial targets or a good return on capital. Few companies can afford 'blue sky' stuff at any cost these days."Does he get any spare time? He failed to list any extra-curricular activities - employers like to see a raft of these on CVs - it shows people take on new things, meet different people, develop new skills. Was he just a 'Master of War' or did Leonardo like to play tennis or run a disco too, perhaps he drew in his spare time? If so, say so."If he came to the Careers Service we'd either encourage him to rewrite his CV, or suggest an alternate career, as an illustrator or artist perhaps." The Duke of Milan's HR department was more forgiving: Da Vinci landed the job. Edited by Katie Scott Latest on wired.co.uk

Set in the middle of the L4D comic strip, Redemption continues the story after the survivors flee the military base by train. It tells a story of Bill searching for redemption after leaving people behind at the military base. The survivors also begin to realise that CEDA had more to do with the outbreak than first thought This is a playable campaign for L4d. Its only 3 out of 5 maps so far but these maps are almost complete. Vers 1.31 released - 3 maps out of 5
Since the release of Redemption V1.31 for L4D, Ive busy working on the 2nd map. Progress is going well, although the amount of displacement work on this map has taken sometime. I wont give too much away about this map although I will say that the survivors will discover some grisly truth about CEDA.

In this highly instructive strategical battle, GM Bojkov takes on one of Australia's most promising young stars, IM Max Illingworth. With little preparation, Dejan steers the game into a completely locked up, French pawn structure, hoping to avoid tactics. Does Dejan succeed, or does the game become a total attacking mess? Follow the game to the end, and enjoy the fireworks! | Watch video
Which one are you? Which one was Karpov? Kasparov? Perhaps most importantly for this video lecture however, is which one is Grandmaster Kaidanov? He reviews a game from his own tournament play, highlighting the different thought processes between a "Scientist" and a "Fighter" along the way. Stick around for the instructive, though error ridden, Rook Endgame. Enjoy! | Watch video
All good things must come to an end. Sadly, perhaps mostly for GM Dejan Bojkov, his coverage of the great Akiba Rubinstein must also have a stopping point. We reach that mark this weekend. No collection of "Dr Rubi's greatest hits" would be complete without a look into his Rook Ending play. It was because of Rubinstein that the term "all rook endings are drawn" came about. As we observe in this video lecture however, he was as creative with his winning plans as he was stubborn in his defense! | Watch video
In eerily similar fashion to both Mieses and Steinetz, Schlecter finishes off his opponent with complete domination on the dark-squares, a powerful pony versus a horrific light-square bishop, and the ability to expand as he pleases on both sides of the board. As usual, FIDE Master Liu keeps us engaged with his clear cut, easy to follow explanations of how they did it. Enjoy! | Watch video
In this epic King and Pawn Endgame battle, Rubinstein possessed one small, positional advantage on the kingside, and he turned it into a forced win! Realizing how the tiniest of weaknesses can come back to bite you is one thing all members should be learning from this excellent series by GM Bojkov. Stick around for the second game and watch the Good Doctor make one tough decision (...c5) after another (Knight trade for Bishop on d2). Enjoy! | Watch video
FM Liu concludes this month's Amazing Games series with a two part video reviewing one of Carl Schlecter's greatest achievements! At the early turn of the 20th century, few could grind down an opponent with the positional style displayed in this game, and few games since could be considered as beautiful as this win in the Stonewall Dutch. Take Elliot's advice and practice the critical position against the computer before watching part 2! | Watch video
Is chess really that easy? Akiba Rubinstein achieves a simple, positional advantage, trades down, goes right into a nearly dead equal Rook Ending, and somehow wins with ease... Again! As GM Bojkov explains, Dr. Akiba was one of the first, true master of the final stage and his fighting spirit pushed him to never settle on a half a point. | Watch video
GM Shankland's latest video series continues on today with more sharp theory, and more revealing and interesting analysis from one of the best prepared player's in the United States! Pay close attention, because the "roads of the main line Botvinnik Slav" can get awfully bumpy! Advanced player's trying to build their repertoire will find gold in this video lecture! | Watch video
FIDE Master Elliot Liu is back with a quick turnaround and more Amazing Games for our Beginner level players! His first "amazing game" this month is all about positional domination on the dark-squares, but not by the pieces you might expect... What happens when your rooks dominate the only open file, your queen lands herself on f6, and you have all the time in the world to drive your h-pawn? A rather barbaric looking mating net, that's what! | Watch video
Recently, GM Melik Khachiyan journeyed to Reno, Nevada to compete in the Western State Open. Here he attempts to break down his games, advanced as they are, for our members to understand the plans and "strategical keys" that dictated his play.

Take notes on his comparison to the famous game, Winter-Capablanca and the importance for black to control both sides of the board... | Watch video

Some critics view the Mini as underpowered and overpriced. But don't discount the power of Apple's name. This is, after all, the company that has sold over 350 million iPods. While the tablet market is too big for Apple to dominate forever, the Mini will more than hold its own. Look for it in a stocking near you.

Jackson to partner with MoDOT to improve uptown streets
A unanimous vote Tuesday night by the Jackson Board of Aldermen to enter into a 50/50 cost-sharing agreement with the Missouri Department of Transportation to improve U.S. 61 and intersecting streets in the uptown area has some worried already about parking for businesses.
Brian Gerau, executive director of the Jackson Chamber of Commerce, gave a statement at the aldermen meeting before the vote. Gerau said the chamber supports the project and sees it as necessary for the city's growth, but said the chamber is concerned about the potential loss of parking spaces for the chamber building and its tenants, the license bureau, which is mandated by the state to provide a minimum number of handicap accessible spaces, and an accounting firm. If the chamber were to lose the tenants, the income would be hard for the chamber to replace, Gerau told the aldermen. Aldermen Dave Hitt and Larry Cunningham responded to Gerau's concerns about loss of parking spaces by saying there were good possibilities of working out an agreement with the city that chamber building employees or customers could use designated spaces in the city-owned lot across the street.
Tom Cook, owner of two buildings on Hope Street directly south of the chamber building, said Tuesday he hasn't been able to guarantee anyone interested in renting the building that formerly housed Pizza Pro that there will be parking available in front since the restaurant moved more than two years ago. The attached building holds Cook's business, Jackson Laundromat. Part of the concept presented to the city by MoDOT calls for widening of Hope Street from Adams Street north to Washington Street and the addition of a turning lane. Businesses and government properties on both sides of the street would be affected.
Cook said he thinks the concept is a waste of time and money and an attempt to avoid rerouting traffic around the uptown area, although Jackson officials have said recently it is the solution to Jackson's No. 1 problem: congested traffic. Cook said from his perspective the work would leave a street four feet from the front door of his buildings.
The financial agreement with MoDOT is the first step in a project the city has had in its comprehensive plan for around 20 years, said Rodney Bollinger, Jackson's public works director. Bollinger said the amount estimated by MoDOT in the financial agreement, $1,567,000, includes an estimate for right-of-way acquisition. There has been discussion between the city and MoDOT about purchasing Cook's property and turning it into a parking lot, Bollinger said. Parking spaces will also be lost along Main Street between Hope Street and Barton Street according to MoDOT's plan to re-stripe Main Street with a turning lane and place a light at the intersection, and on High Street north of the courthouse.
Along with the widening of the U.S. 61 route, the concept includes making Court Street one way north and Barton Street one way south. Jackson Mayor Barbara Lohr said the concept is the best of several possible solutions to traffic congestion the city has seen over the years, including one which proposed a roundabout route around the county courthouse.
Bollinger said the cost of moving utilities would be paid by the city, while any other costs incurred with the project would be split in half by MoDOT and the city. According to a tentative schedule, utilities would be moved next summer and the construction to widen lanes and re-stripe streets for direction changes and widening would begin in the summer of 2013. Jim Roach, Jackson's city administrator, said rerouting traffic through the area would last between three and six months.
MoDOT Southeast regional field engineer Andy Meyer has been in communication with the city about a possible U.S. 61 improvement project since 1997 and said he is excited by the idea that there may finally be a solution to traffic congestion uptown. Meyer said there are hurdles however, including loss of parking and changing entry access to the post office on the northeast corner of Hope and Main streets. Per the cost-sharing agreement with the city, MoDOT must also enter into an agreement with the General Services Administration and the post office as part of the process for the concept to become a final plan. Meyer said MoDOT has met with representatives of the post office and he thinks an agreement can likely be reached, although there are still questions that surround how to best arrange access to post office parking and drop boxes. Meyer said MoDOT has also had discussions with county commissioners related to the project, since widening of the roads will affect property containing the county administration building.
Meyer said since it was likely there would be many questions about the concept that the department would participate in public meetings in the fall.
In closing Tuesday night's aldermen meeting, alderman Dave Reiminger said board members initiated something by voting in favor of the agreement that would make an enormous difference in the city's traffic problem.
"We have done nothing but fight this thing for 15 or 20 years," Reiminger said.

Hey, I'm Valerie!
I'm English and moved to Alice Springs the middle of the Australian outback five years ago. It's quite a contrast, I can tell you!
Not much in the way of cultural activities here, but you can drive a few km out of town and camp under a million stars, the sun shines every day, even though in winter the temperature drops to below zero at night. We have kangaroos in our back garden (the pesky things eat our beans and peas) and the occasional snake. We also have lemon and orange trees, and I'm considering planting an avocado or two.
In summertime (Dec-Feb) it's hot - over 40 C but not humid, which makes it bearable - just. The best time to visit is between April and October, when the Jacaranda trees are in bloom.
I miss the ocean, which is two days' drive away either north to Darwin or south to Adelaide.

A break of $3.08 could accelerate the stock price. Technical 76% chance up at foxchart website.
A breakout of the intraday flag, daily chart ascending triangle, and improving fundamentals would be really great....
Sentiment: Strong Buy
completely agree. noticed same.
Chart voodoo won't drive TC higher.
Improving fundamentals, and the realization the fundamentals are improving, will, indeed, propel TC higher.
If TC was purely trading on fundamentals, then the pps would be $6 right now. That gigantic $3 spread is based on traders versus true investor and those traders use charts.
I'll agree with you Ultra, that TC's fundamentals will drag the stock higher kicking and screaming, but charts will help you know what shape that staircase is going to be. Really a moot point for a long-term holder like us... but it is nice to know that when TC randomly pulls back $.30 on no news to be able to look and say, "Ahhh, RSI was 80 and we reached a resistance point on low volume, that's why it sold off some... whew, nothing to worry about."
My $0.02... which if valued by TC analysts would come in at about $0.0000021327

White House public option ploy: A trial balloon, not a white flag
Scroll down for updates…
Do you believe the Sunday spin on the White House's alleged "retreat" from the Obamacare public option?
Video of HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius's pooh-poohing of the public option provision is here.
Drudge illustrated the AP story with a white flag.
Politico says the White House has "backed away."
I'm not buying the hype. Are you?
The real Obama is a declared proponent of single-payer and universal health care Trojan Horses. All else is political theater.
Late Sunday, the health care czar's office said Sebelius "misspoke."
It's not a misstatement. It's not a surrender flag. It's a trial balloon to measure the potential nutroots backlash versus the potential Senate pick-ups.
Besides, the public option provision can always be stuffed back in via a 3am manager's amendment or during the House/Senate conference to reconcile each chamber's Obamacare bills.
As for Democrat Sen. Kent Conrad's health care "co-op" idea, the devil — as always — is in the details.
Edmund Haislmaier pointed out a few weeks ago at The Foundry:
If by health care "co-op," Congress means allowing private associations to collectively buy health insurance for their members or operate a health insurance exchange, or allowing people to buy health insurance from a non-profit, member-owned private insurer, then those would be positive, pro-consumer developments.
However, simply slapping the word "cooperative" onto a new "insurer," but then specifying that the government — not the policyholders — picks the board of directors (as Sen. Schumer wants), or that taxpayers will subsidize it, or that it has to pay doctors and hospitals at Medicare rates, would just be an exercise in trying to disguise a "public plan."
Distrust and verify.
Howard Dean on CBS this morning:
"It will pass with the public option," he said, "and the president will sign it sometime in December."
And from Michael Tanner at Cato: Co-ops: A 'Public Option' By Another Name

Middle school bond issue survives challenge
"Yes, yes, no..,."
"10, 10, 11...."
This series of words and numbers, repeated over and over again Thursday afternoon, would have made little sense to someone passing by the open meeting room doorway in the Clay County Administration Building; but the significance of these utterances could not be disputed as the first recount of an electronic touch voting machine in the state of Iowa's history took place in the Spencer.
In the end, the 62-38 super majority count which passed a $4 million middle school bond issue in Spencer on April 20, withstood the scrutiny of Iowa's first ever electric system election recount.
"No one knows but you what you do when you're in that voting booth - be it a lever machine, or a piece of paper or an electronic system. Nobody knows and that's the way it should be," assured Clay County Election Commissioner Marge Pitts. "But once it has been cast, you want to make sure the vote you cast is counted accurately.
That's what was proved today."
According to Pitts, there were no corrections made to the total vote numbers that were approved by the Clay County Board of Supervisors shortly after the April 20 election date.
In addition to the state historical value of the recount, it also has significant Clay County historical value as well, marking die first ever recorded election recount in the county.
Pitts was pleased with what she referred to as a "good exercise in democracy."
"I think it went very well. The three individuals on the recount board were very cooperative with one another and followed the process as it was supposed to be followed."
She continued, "There were a couple of machine tapes they had to add up a second time, to confirm they had counted correctly. They were all willing to do that. It came out and they were all satisfied and the count matched the canvass."
John Simmons, appointed to the Recount Board by a group of 99 petitioners seeking the recount; Jon Bang, appointed to the board by election commissioner Pitts; and Dean Jacobsen, chosen by Simmons and Bang to sit as the third member on the board were all three sworn in by Pitts at 1 p.m. to take part in the state's history making event.
The board worked with the absentee paper ballots first, then worked through six special ballots before beginning the tape print outs from the 12 machines used at the precinct vote. Bang read aloud the individual yes and no votes on the paper work, Jacobsen recorded the tally.
To drop below the 60 percent mark, and impact the outcome of the bond issue, over 70 votes would have to have been incorrectly counted.
The April 20 bond issue was the fourth put before the voters in the Spencer Community School District. The first three failed to pass. The most recent, received the necessary 60 percent super majority support in unofficial results, capturing 61.93 percent of the 3801 ballots cast. Also, 22 blank ballots were submitted.
There had been some questions raised about the accuracy of the electronic systems used in the vote.
Pitts indicated that Thursday's results should answer some of those questions. She added, "By Jan. 1, 2006 at least one direct touch screen voting device will have to be in every precinct, in every county, in every state in the nation."

If your forklift needs a Linux-driven data-capture device, AML hopes you'll use its new MT7570 vehicle mount terminal.

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

PLEASANTON, Calif., March 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 4, 2014, Thoratec Corporation initiated a voluntary worldwide Medical Device Correction in order to update its labeling and training materials for the HeartMate II ® LVAS Pocket System Controller (the "Pocket Controller"). This safety advisory is being issued because some patients and caregivers have experienced difficulties with the process of changing from a primary system controller to their backup system controller. These difficulties have resulted in four deaths and five reports of loss of consciousness or other symptoms of hypoperfusion. Of these nine events, eight occurred in patients who were converted to the Pocket Controller after being originally trained on an older model, the EPC System Controller. Two of the deaths occurred in patients who attempted to exchange system controllers while alone and, contrary to the labeling, without contacting the hospital first. The Urgent Medical Device Correction Letter sent to hospitals on March 4, 2014 communicated the reported incident rate over the past year and a half since the introduction of the Pocket System Controller in August 2012. Thoratec's investigations of these reports have not revealed any failures of the devices to meet specifications or deficiencies in quality control procedures. No product needs to be returned to Thoratec.Consumers who have the HeartMate II LVAS Pocket Controller should immediately contact their doctor for retraining on use of the device and to receive updated Patient Handbook information. Physicians who prescribe the HeartMate II LVAS Pocket Controller should immediately review the updated labeling and training materials provided in the Urgent Medical Device Correction Letter with all clinical personnel responsible for training patients and caregivers on the use of the Pocket System Controller. All patients using the Pocket Controller and their caregivers should be retrained on the use of the device and be provided with updated Patient Handbook information.

I have a tableViewHeader UIView that contains a few dynamic elements (UILabels with varying sizes to be exact). I set the UIView up in IB, have everything connected up, and am trying to change frame origins based on the size of my labels after sizeToFit.
If I log the new frames after my setFrame call, it actually does show the updated origins, but they don't display on the simulator. The labels change height, but the origins do not change.
- (void)viewDidLoad
[super viewDidLoad];
CGRect frame;
CGFloat baseOffset = titleLbl.frame.origin.y;
offset = titleLbl.frame.size.height;
self.titleLbl.text = destObject.title;
self.titleLbl.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Avenir-Heavy" size:22];
[self.titleLbl sizeToFit];
frame = titleLbl.frame;
frame.origin.y = baseOffset;
//Get any change in size from the label
offset = titleLbl.frame.size.height - offset;
frame = imageView.frame;
frame.origin.y = frame.origin.y + offset;
self.imageView.frame = frame;
frame = photosBtn.frame;
frame.origin.y = frame.origin.y + offset;
[self.photosBtn setFrame:frame];
frame = detailLbl.frame;
frame.origin.y = frame.origin.y + offset;
self.detailLbl.frame = frame;
baseOffset = self.detailLbl.frame.origin.y;
CGFloat detailOffset = self.detailLbl.frame.size.height;
self.detailLbl.text = destObject.description;
[self.detailLbl sizeToFit];
frame = detailLbl.frame;
frame.origin.y = baseOffset;
self.detailLbl.frame = frame;
detailOffset = self.detailLbl.frame.size.height - detailOffset;
offset = offset + detailOffset;
frame = blueLine.frame;
frame.origin.y = frame.origin.y + offset;
self.blueLine.frame = frame;
self.whereToDiveLbl.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Avenir-Heavy" size:22];
frame = whereToDiveLbl.frame;
frame.origin.y = frame.origin.y + offset;
self.whereToDiveLbl.frame = frame;
frame = grayLine.frame;
frame.origin.y = frame.origin.y + offset;
self.grayLine.frame = frame;
frame = CGRectMake(headerView.frame.origin.x, headerView.frame.origin.y, headerView.frame.size.width, grayLine.frame.size.height + grayLine.frame.origin.y + 5);
self.headerView.frame = frame;
I've tried looking around for similar issues, but couldn't find any. Can anyone shed some light on this?
I should point out that the UIView itself (that is, headerView in this case) DOES reflect changes to its frame on the simulator, but its subviews do not. I have autoresize subviews enabled if it makes any difference, but I get the same result enabled or disabled.
I found out that my UIView in IB had 'Use Autolayout' checked under Identity and Type...deselecting this solved my problem.
Hopefully this helps others with similar situations.
P.S. I would just answer this question myself, but I have no rep so I have to wait until tomorrow to answer it...or you could just copy what I have and I'll accept it.

Traveling Wave Transport of Particles and Particle Size Classification
Abstract:A basic research is being carried out on transport of particles and particle size classification in electrostatic traveling field. A particle conveyor consisting of parallel electrodes was constructed and four-phase traveling electrostatic wave was applied to the electrodes to transport particles on the conveyer. The following were clarified by the experiment and numerical simulation with the Distinct Element Method: (1) Particles were transported almost linearly with time. A transport rate was also linear with the applied voltage but a threshold existed due to adhesion force. (2) The direction of particle transport did not always coincide with that of the traveling wave but partially changed depending on the frequency of the traveling wave, the particle diameter, and the electric field. Particles were vibrated but not transported under high frequency field. (3) Particles were efficiently transported under conditions of low frequency, high voltage, and the application of rectangular wave. (4) Particles were classified with size under the voltage application of appropriate frequency.

Loan Overview

Loan Updates
Carlos, at his 23 years of age, is the owner of a business that sells literature and text books. It's a business he has run for the last four years, but one he has known since he was small. The business is a family tradition and legacy. Carlos is an enterprising, dedicated man with vision and a great desire to get ahead. He says, "I like working in my business because I'm in charge of my own time and I can learn a lot of new things. In addition, it gives me the opportunity to study at the university, to get ahead." With these words, Carlos expresses his motivation for requesting the help of a second loan. His goal is to invest the loan in the purchase of a batch of books (textbooks and literature) and to take advantage of the discount that would give him. He can then improve his sales income, which would allow him to meet his goal of having a professional career and expanding his business. He would then have the resources to gain financial stability, improve his quality of life and support his family.

Additional Information
Important Information
This loan is structured on Kiva as a bullet loan, which means a single payment is required at the end of the loan term. By Colombian law, Kiva's partner Interactuar is required to offer borrowers loans with a variable interest rate that fluctuates with the market rate. Because fixed monthly payments are applied first to interest and then to principal, Interactuar is unable to predict upfront what portion of each repayment would go towards the loan principal. This creates a challenge with Kiva's system, which doesn't allow for unpredictable principal payments, and can result in some Interactuar clients appearing falsely delinquent. To remedy this, the loan has an end-of-term repayment plan on Kiva, but the borrower will continue scheduled monthly repayments to Interactuar, who will then pass along the principal amount to Kiva lenders. This means that you may see repayments made on this loan throughout the repayment term, as opposed to receiving repayment in full at the end of the loan term.

MISSION BEACH A scuba diver died on an excursion at a sunken ship off Mission Beach on Saturday.
Instructors with a class of four were diving on the Yukon, a Canadian destroyer escort sunk nearly two miles off the coast, when the incident occurred about 2:30 p.m., authorities said.
The divers were underwater together, and when they came up, the woman was missing, lifeguard Lt. John Everheart said. She was reported to be an advanced diver. Her name was not released.
Lifeguard divers searched for the woman, as well as two helicopters and Coast Guard crews.
Her body was found underwater at the Yukon about two hours later, Coast Guard Petty Officer Matthew Cramer said. Her body was expected to be recovered this morning.
The 366-foot Yukon, a popular recreational diving spot, lies in 105 feet of water in the northern area of Wreck Alley along with other sunken ships.

I love this recipe. Easy, healthy and delicious. Served with roasted red potatoes and green beans.
Delicious! One of my all time favorite chicken dishes and this version was quick, fairly simple, and tasty. I used boneless chicken breasts pounded thin in place of the cutlets. It stretched the prep time to about 30 minutes. I also made six, split between two pans and doubled the sauce which I then used over a quinoa side dish I prepared.
Oh my! Nothing could be faster, nor easier and with such a punch of flavor! I did have a less expensive type of prosciutto, so they were large pieces so that I only needed 1 to wrap each cutlet. So use your judgment. Thanks for posting. I will make this again and again it is so good and quick.
