Wacom 13-inch Cintiq Full HD pen display, a drawing tablet for the serious artist
Wacom has announced the Cintiq 13HD pen display, which lets you draw to your heart's content at full 1080p resolution.
Built with designers and artists in mind, this is the first proper pen-controlled display to boast such a high resolution. Its 16.7 million colours and 178 degree viewing angles should also help those who plan on using the tablet for drawing.
Also included is a new battery-free Pro Pen, which you use to draw on the tablet. The new pen has 2,048 levels of pressure and tilt sensitivity, making for a realistic drawing experience. The whole tablet is wrapped up in a case, so you can store the Pro Pen without losing it. A stand is built into the case so you can sit the Cintiq at 22, 35 and 50 degree angles for drawing.
The 13HD is the latest in Wacom's line-up of all in one touch displays. Also on sale is the 22HD, 24HD and 24HD touch.
"We've gained valuable customer feedback in developing our latest Cintiq which will support professionals and help them spur creativity on the 13-inch high resolution screen," said Guido Möller, product manager creative products, at Wacom Europe.
"Not only that, it also enhances productivity and saves creator time with new features. As with our entire Cintiq range, the new Cintiq 13HD provides a completely immersive and ergonomic pen-on-screen experience that adapts seamlessly to all working environments and practices."
The 13HD will go on sale from April 2013 and retail at £749. Pocket-lint will be posting more on the 13HD the moment we have a play with it.

Bus-fare increase before OCTA board today
A proposed fare adjustment that would increase bus riders' monthly passes by $14 and likely cause ridership to decline is up for approval today.
The Orange County Transportation Authority board is scheduled to vote on a plan that would increase regular fares by 33 percent. Officials say the agency needs to increase fares every four years to help cover operating costs.
A regular fare, which now costs $1.50, could go to $2, while the $4 day pass would rise by 25 percent to $5. A 30-day pass that now costs $55 would go up about 25 percent to $69.
For Felisa Romero of Santa Ana, the increase to her monthly pass will hurt. A housekeeper, Romero rides the bus to Lake Forest, Tustin and Newport Beach. Her daughters use it to get to school.
At a public hearing in October, Romero told the board that she understood the agency's economic situation but asked that it understand hers.
"With the increase, I would pay almost two days' worth of my work earnings," Romero said.
Because the agency receives transit funding from the state's Transportation Development Act, OCTA bus passengers must pay at least 20 percent of the operating costs so the agency can qualify for the sales-tax funding.
Without a fare increase, officials said, it's projected that the OCTA would fall below the mandated 20 percent "farebox recovery ratio" in fiscal year 2012-13.
If approved, the fare boost would be implemented in February and result in $6.4 million in additional revenue, according to an OCTA staff report. Boardings are expected to decline by about 8 percent.
Jane Reifer of the Transit Advocates of Orange County said that if the proposal goes through, the agency should institute a program to help those who are absolutely unable to pay more.
Bus riders represent a low-income population, with 44 percent making less than $10,000 a year and an additional 29 percent earning between $10,000 and $20,000, according to the 2011 OCTA bus satisfaction survey.

7 of 7 people found the following review helpful
so so,
This review is from: Facial Expressions: A Visual Reference for Artists (Paperback)
This book is certainly useful, however I imagine there to be several better books available. The trouble I found with this was, although there are several differing shots for emotions etc, the actual photography can be pretty bad. For example, the shots are sometimes out of focus, too small and the contrast on the images is not high enough to enable you to see clearly the detail. It would have worked better using less images and making them larger. Not that it matters too much but the illustrations are hideous! Used for general face shape in many positions/emotions, this is a half decent book and the phonemes at the back are very useful.

Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) surveyors inspect Sea Shepherd Australia's 'Sam Simon' and interview crew in Williamstown.
AMSA's interest stems from reports of a number of alleged incidents in the Southern Ocean in February 2013.
'Sam Simon' is the only Australian-flagged (registered) vessel involved in the reported incidents which included reports of collisions and pollution by vessels and is subject to Australian law.
The investigation will include an inspection of the Sam Simon, examination of available documents and records, and interviews with crew. If sufficient evidence of a breach of the International Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) is found, AMSA may refer a brief of evidence to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for consideration of prosecution under the Navigation Act 1912.
AMSA surveyors will also assess any available evidence regarding reports that vessels may have spilled diesel into the sea.
AMSA add that any information collected that is related to foreign-flagged vessels (registered in other countries [Japan]) will be referred to the relevant maritime authorities of the countries in which the ships are registered, which is in accordance with international law.

Spike Jonze's New Her Trailer Will Make You Feel Feelings
Welcome to the bittersweet future. Here is the second trailer for Her, Spike Jonze's upcoming sci-fi romance in which Joaquin Phoenix plays Theodore, a lonely man who falls in love with his computer. The operating system, voiced by Scarlett Johansson, is sultry and smooth, and perhaps everything his character might want from a woman: She's patient, inquisitive, and caring. But, she's also completely without a physical presence. It'll be interesting to see how the movie spins that. Can a man shift his focus from the bodily woman and fall in love only with her personality and intellect? Or is her lack of physicality another version of the headless woman syndrome prevalent in mainstream advertising?
In any case, Rooney Mara, who plays Phoenix's ex, is a little miffed that she's apparently turned him off human females. And, hey, we might be, too.

Walmart Pay Now Available In 16 States
Walmart this week expanded the reach of its mobile payment service, Walmart Pay, to a total of 16 states. Walmart Pay was already available in Alabama. This week, the service went live in Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Walmart Pay works with Android and iOS smartphones. Rather than rely on NFC or MST for tap-and-go transactions, Walmart Pay involves the Walmart mobile app. Customers can add most any credit or debit card to the Walmart app for purchases. At checkout, users need to open the app and launch the camera. Using the camera, customers scan a code displayed at the register. This activates the transaction. The associate scans and bags the items and the final amount due is taken from the credit/debit card associated with the app. Customers will receive an electronic receipt that is saved in the app. Walmart said it expects to complete its rollout by the end of summer. Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Android Pay all allow users to tap their phones on retail payment terminals to make purchases. Walmart has resisted supporting these competitive mobile payment services in favor of its own.
Nextbit Says OS Update to Tackle Battery Life In New Way
Nextbit will bring the same thinking it used to create the Robin's dynamic storage functionality to the smartphone's battery in a future operating system update. "We can apply the same intelligence we've used for smart storage towards making your battery last significantly longer," said the company in a blog post. "We will launch a new version of Nextbit OS that gets to know your habits and optimizes functions at the system level to ensure you get the most screen time possible." Nextbit says its battery intelligence will work hand-in-hand with the existing power-saving tools in Android Marshmallow and the forthcoming features in Android N. The company didn't dive into specifics on how it will achieve battery gains, nor did to make any claims as to how much more battery life will be achieved through its technique. The operating system will be offered to members of the Nextibt Beta Program before it is released to all users in the fall. The Robin dynamically shifts photos, videos, and even apps from the phone to the cloud when needed to make room for new content.
Innovative Keyboard Case is Both Wireless and Battery-Free
One2Touch has a new keyboard case for Android phones called SlimType that uses NFC technology in a unique way to connect to a phone. Most keyboard cases have a battery or physical connector that adds bulk. The SlimType, however, draws power from the phone using NFC, and also uses NFC to communicate with the phone, eliminating the need for a Bluetooth radio. The standard SlimType model is no thicker than a typical leather flip case. The current model is optimized for the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S7, but can work with some other Android phones with NFC. A larger model adds a rigid kickstand. An even larger non-case model provides a full-size keyboard. The standard model is available now from Amazon for $40. Read on for our hands-on impressions and more about the clever technology behind it.

Ultimate Ears Adds Google Now and Siri to UE Boom 2 Speaker
Ultimate Ears' high-end Bluetooth speakers now allow Android and iPhone owners to use voice prompts to control their music. Ultimate Ears is rolling out a firmware update for the UE Boom 2 and UE Megaboom that adds Google Now and Siri support. The update must be installed via the Ultimate Ears mobile app. Once added, smartphone users can ask Google Now or Siri to play their favorite songs, albums, or playlists. According to Ultimate Ears, its speakers are simply acting as a microphone. Voice commands are based on those already supported by Google Now or Siri, which means people can address Google Now and Siri via the UE Boom 2 and Megaboom using any language those services support. Similarly, people can interact with any music apps Google Now and Siri support, such as Google Play Music, Spotify, iTunes, and Apple Music. A quick press of the Bluetooth button on the speaker itself puts the speaker in listening mode, allowing people to use voice commands to change songs. Ultimate Ears says its mobile app does not need to be running on the associated phone in order to use the feature. The Ultimate Ears mobile app is free to download from the Google Play Store and iTunes App Store. The UE Boom 2 costs $180 and the UE Megaboom costs $250.
Google Simplifies 2-Step Verification
Google has made it easier for people to setup and use two-step verification to protect their accounts. Google already allowed users to tap a Security Key or enter a verification code sent to their phone. Now, users can also approve a new security prompt that pops up on the screen. According to Google, users can select any of these three methods for two-step verification via their Google account settings online. Android users will need the latest version of Google Play Services on their device, and iOS users will need the Google Search app. As the name implies, two-step verification adds a second layer of security to account logins.

Walmart Kicks Off Walmart Pay Trial In Alabama
Walmart today launched its mobile payment service, Walmart Pay, at 120 of its retail stores in Alabama. The service, announced late last year, works with Android and iOS smartphones. Rather than rely on NFC or MST for tap-and-go transactions, Walmart Pay involves the Walmart mobile app. Customers can add most any credit or debit card to the Walmart app for purchases. At checkout, users need to open the app and launch the camera. Using the camera, customers scan a code displayed at the register. This activates the transaction. The associate scans and bags the items and the final amount due is taken from the credit/debit card associated with the app. Customers will receive an electronic receipt that is saved in the app. Walmart initially expected to deploy the technology around the country by mid-year, but Alabama is the first statewide deployment so far.

Facebook Messenger Brings SMS Back to Android App
Facebook today said Facebook Messenger users will once again be able to send SMS messages — as long as they're running Android. Essentially, Android users can set Messenger as the default SMS app, which will route all SMS messages and conversations through Messenger rather than any other SMS apps that may be installed on the device. Messenger used to support SMS, but Facebook removed the feature back in 2012. Facebook says Messenger doesn't send, upload, or store conversations on its servers. Moreover, it uses the standard SMS protocol and not cellular data to send SMS messages. Sending SMS via Messenger includes text, pictures, videos, and audio snippets, but content such as stickers, emoji, GIFs, and voice/video calls will require the use of Messenger's data functions. Facebook Messenger is free to download from the Google Play Store.

The phone has a 16-megapixel main camera with a variety of capture modes, such as Smart Capture, Auto HDR, and Dynamic De-noise, which OnePlus claims eliminates noise by merging several images. The camera also includes optical and electronic image stabilization, as well as RAW image capture. The 8-megapixel selfie camera features a Smile Capture function to help ease the process of snagging those self portraits. The OnePlus 3 is powered by a 2.2 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 820 processor with 6 GB of RAM. OnePlus says the ceramic fingerprint sensor can identify prints in 0.2 seconds. The phone adopts OnePlus' Dash Charge technology, which can give the 3,000mAh battery a 60% charge in 30 minutes. The OnePlus 3 runs OxygenOS, which is based on Android 6 Marshmallow. OxygenOS includes off-screen gestures and the ability to customize the hardware and software buttons used to control the user interface.

Facebook says a number of organizations, such as NASA, have prepared 360-degree photos that will be available on Facebook soon. Facebook plans to update its Android and iOS mobile apps in the next couple of days, which will include the ability to upload 360-degree photos. Facebook already supports 360-degree video.
Google Debuts 'Nearby' to Alerts Android Users to What's Close
Google today announced Nearby, a way for Android devices to show people relevant apps, web sites, and other information based on location. It takes the idea of the physical web, which displayed web sites of nearby businesses, a step further. For example, Android owners who walk into a CVS may be prompted to print their photos while in the store, or people visiting The Broad in Los Angeles may be prompted to download the audio tour. Nearby might also suggest users set up Google Cast or Android Wear devices when in range. In order to take advantage of Nearby, people will need to have location and Bluetooth enabled, as it relies on Bluetooth beacons. The suggestions will be delivered via push notifications that can be acted upon or ignored. Google said developers need to add Nearby to their beacons/locations before people will begin to see them.

It supplies the current temperature and conditions, the high and low temps for the day, and the following day's forecast. Last, the updated Pebble software adds a fire emoji.

Snapchat today began rolling out a new version of its mobile application for Android and iOS devices. The latest build of the social-minded app gives an entirely new look to the Stories and Discover sections, allowing users to see what's new before tapping thanks to newly-added photos and headlines. The general idea is to give content created by publishers more visibility within the app. As such, when people complete viewing publisher content in the Discover section, a quick swipe allows them to subscribe for updates that will appear below friends' Stories. Last, tapping the navigation buttons at the bottom of the app allows users to jump between screens more easily. Snapchat is free to download from iTunes and the Google Play Store.
Twitter Overhauls Android App with Material Design

The app is free to download from the Google Play Store.

KFC said it will accept mobile payments at the drive-thru as well as in-store. The deployment is part of a series of investments that KFC is making to improve its stores.
Google Now On Tap Lets You Search Selected Text and Images
Google today announced an update to its Now On Tap feature for devices running Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Moving forward, users will be able to highlight the exact set of text they'd like to search via Now On Tap. Users can select single words, or sentences, paragraphs, and entire pages for search. Image search is another useful new feature. When viewing any image in any app, users can long press the home button to call up info cards about whatever is in the image. This tool also works when using the camera app. Users can search for whatever is visible in the camera viewfinder. This last feature sort of brings back Google's old Goggles visual search tool. People who have devices with Android 6.0 Marshmallow need only update their Google Search app to make use of these new features.

Player ratings for the Rugby World Cup third-place playoff between Wales and Australia at Eden Park:
5 - Berrick Barnes (Australia) - With just his second start of the tournament, Barnes will have filled Robbie Deans with regret. If not a starter in place of Quade Cooper, the diminutive 23-year-old should have been handed the No 12 jersey ahead of Pat McCabe. He was safe under the high ball, cleared accurately and even kicked a neatly struck dropped goal. An all round impressive performance.
4 - Scott Higginbotham (Australia) - Another who should have been starting all along. Sat behind dumped captain Rocky Elsom, who had a shocker against the All Blacks, Higginbotham proved his worth as a strong lineout option, ball carrier and strong defender.
3 - Jamie Roberts (Wales) - Even in a stuttering backline that hardly broke the line all night, Roberts deserves credit for his hard-running attitude. He attempted to punch holes, but found little support in his supporters who ran sideways and made constant mistakes.
2 - James Horwill (Australia) - The Wallabies captain has endured a tough tournament. He's had to front after disappointing losses to Ireland and the All Blacks, but never dropped his lip. Tonight he again broke the advantage line and handled his core duties while, this time, carrying his side to a moral victory.
1 - Mike Phillips (Wales) - The gutsy halfback may have played 60 minutes but in that time demonstrated the abilities he's flaunted throughout the tournament. He put in the ugly, yet effective, grubber for Shane Williams' controversial try and tired to snipe round the fringes.

Man admits brother's murder
Relevant offers
A Taumarunui man shot his brother point-blank before tying the body to the back of a car and driving more than 1 kilometre up the road.
Benjamin Wikaira, 58, then turned off Ngakonui-Ongarue Rd and onto the gravel road of Ongarue Back Rd, with the body of his older brother, Nikora, dragging behind. He then accidentally reversed over the body, which he had wrapped in a tarpaulin.
The circumstances surrounding Nikora Wikaira's death were revealed in the High Court in Hamilton today after Benjamin Wikaira admitted a charge of murder after the incident on November 9 last year.
Benjamin Wikaira had loaded a rifle before jumping on his horse and going to the house of his cousin, Andrew Ngarotata, where he found his brother, Nikora, 59.
Benjamin needed money to pay his power bill and asked Nikora where the $6000 was that Benjamin believed he owed him.
Nikora went to get up from an armchair in the lounge when Benjamin fired the rifle. As Nikora fell to the floor, Benjamin kicked him once in the head, before watching him die for the next five minutes.
He grabbed some electrical cable, tied it around his brother's feet before dragging him about 50 metres through the house and to the back of the property.
He placed a piece of unused corrugated iron over the body and put some leaves on top.
Wikaira then went back inside and cleaned up the blood before riding home on his horse, stopping to hide the rifle along the way.
However, about 35 hours later, he returned to the house on November 11. He loaded up his brother's belongings and took them back to his own house.
Wikaira then decided to move the body and asked his cousin to help, but Ngarotata refused.
Wikaira returned to the site with a block and tackle pulley system, but his bid to load the body into the boot using it was unsuccessful.
Wikaira eventually decided to wrap his brother's body in a tarpaulin with a piece of wood inside. He tied a rope around his brother's torso and tied the other end to his brother's car for the 1.4km trip to the family's bush block.
After turning into Ongarue Back Rd he came to a stop at the gate, maneuvering the vehicle before accidentally reversing over his brother's body.
The car then became stuck on top of the body and he couldn't drive forward.
Wikaira unsuccessfully tried to pull the body out from under the car using the pulley system. He then decided to dig a hole around the body, causing it to drop a few centimetres and freeing the car.
It was late in the day and Wikaira decided to bury his brother in a shallow grave, covering him with soil and lengths of timber.
Wikaira then drove into pine forest in Bennetts Rd to dispose of the car. He threw the rifle and ammunition into the water. He then tried to drive the car into the river but it became stuck.
He asked a farm worker for help him push it over the cliff, but the man declined.
Wikaira was convicted by Justice Pamela Andrews and remanded in custody for sentencing in July.
He was also issued a first-strike warning as murder is a qualifying violence offence.

Fort Wayne, IN - The Midwest League announced Monday that Fort Wayne TinCaps starting pitcher Joe Ross has been named the league's first Pitcher of the Week in the 2013 season. Ross has started the year earning victories in both of his starts, helping Fort Wayne to a 6-4 record to begin the season.
Ross, 19, has thrown 10 innings and allowed two hits, while walking two and striking out 12. He has yet to allow a run, and is holding opposing batters to a .063 average. Last season in six starts with the TinCaps, Ross went 0-2 with a 6.26 ERA. Since being selected 25th overall in the 2011 draft by San Diego, Ross has worked to a career mark of 2-4 with a 3.56 ERA in 18 games.
Ross is one of four first-round or supplemental first-round picks in Fort Wayne's starting rotation. He is joined by Max Fried (7th overall, 2012), Zach Eflin (33rd overall, 2012), and Walker Weickel (55th overall, 2012).
Fort Wayne opens a three-game series in South Bend Tuesday evening at 7:05 p.m.

Community development specialist Brian Fukuda has come up with a ballpark value, in case developers want to build on the block between State and Vine where the courthouse stood 50 years ago. Fukuda suggests that the lot could sell for around $1.5 million. A space study just presented to the county suggests that new county offices could be built on the north end of that parking lot...at the loss of about 100 surface parking stalls. Fukuda says he checked into the possible value of the block, after hearing comments that the courthouse lot is only worth about a dollar.

Wonderful soup! I used all FF half and half but only 4 oz. crab and the other 4 oz. shrimp. DH had 3 big bowls, so he loved it too.
A friend and I made this last night and it was delicious! We used a combination of Shitake and white mushrooms. Instead of the half-n-half, we used whole milk, and instead of a green bell pepper, we used a red. There's a tiny little bowl leftover and I'm sure it'll be gone today!
You got another PAC winner here, MsPia! I wanted to make a full recipe using 1/2 lb of crabmeat so I also used 1/2 lb Icelandic baby shrimp. The only other chg I made was to use all milk & I found it plenty rich & creamy w/o the half & half. The creaminess combined w/the textural veggie adds + seafood makes it almost more of a chowder for me. The Lemon Blend seasoning & hot sauce give it a kick that reminds me a bit of Cajun fare. This was a real winner for us in all ways ... delicious flavor, hearty & warming on a cool Icelandic nite. Thx for sharing this keeper w/us. :-)

conducted in August 2015 and May 2016 and their interpretive value are presented and discussed.
The speaker, Ian Badgley, is a noted archaeologist with the National Capital Commission and a member of the Pinhey's Point Foundation's board.
Arrive early to view a variety of exhibits at the museum this summer.

The Shared cM Project update
Blaine Bettinger, DNA expert and scheduled speaker for the OGS conference next year in Ottawa, has posted an update to this project examining the statistics of more than 9,500 entries.
This blog post summarizes the findings which are discussed in detail in this pdf.
Note that you may share no DNA with a third cousin, second cousin once removed and more distant relatives.
There's even a slight overlap between the amount of DNA shared by siblings and half siblings, although you'd be unlucky if results fell in the ambiguous range.
Check out the data to get an idea of the range of possible relationships a particular number of shared cM implies. 40cM could be a 1st cousin twice removed (1C2R), 2C1R, or 3C down to 5C2R. Could it be even more remote for endogamous populations?

Home Child Ages
Why the dip at age 12? For each year in the periods 1870 - 80, 1889-91 and 1903-15 and 1923-30 there were fewer children age 12 than both age 11 and age 13.
Home child data sources matter. Compilations were made for different purposes. They may refer to a calendar or fiscal year.
These statistics are based on entries in the Library and Archives Canada home children database using only entries from ships passenger lists as extracted by John Sayers and cooperators in a BIFHSGO project. It includes a long tail of older people, such as chaperones, and some who were on the list with names crossed out. Data was taken for up to 2,000 entries per year for the decade (0) and mid-decade (5) years, plus a few other years thought to mark significant changes. Data for other years are estimated by linear interpolation constrained by the total number that arrived that year. Data for the Fairbridge immigrants to British Columbia, who arrived between 1935 and 1947, was added with ages extracted from the British outgoing ships passenger lists. Age data for a few other young immigrants in the late 1930s are not available.
