New to the Unreal Engine and RO2 Modding scene, having some issues with SDK
I've used SDK's before such as Valves Hammer editor and other tools, I've never really used the UDK or RO2 Editor before, I have a basic map created and I can spawn as either allies or axis, But, when trying to add a texture to anything(I mean anything); The content browser locks up and once even crashed my entire machine, I looked at possible fixes on these forums for about an hour and none seem to work and this "GameAsset" file I'm supposed to delete doesn't appear to be present, where is it supposed to be located?
Also another thing, being unfamiliar with how the editor works, How do I place down weapons or chose the spawn weapons? As I'm attempting at making a single-player linear-based map, i have a planned project already which I was going to create on the source engine, but i decided to use the RO2 engine and UDK instead as the engine is VERY well refined and the amazing cover system, guns and realism would make everything 10x better!
I wasn't the best at mapping on source, but I could make a fairly decent CSS map, and knew just about how the entire toolset worked, would anyone say that UDK/ro2 sdk is easier, or just the same to use? Seeing as how Hammer and the source SDK is 7 years outdated?
Thanks in advance, this is my first post at the forums
Hi Scott, good luck with your map.
There currently isn't support for weapons placed in maps- RO2 isn't deisgned that way. We don't have much documentation on singleplayer maps yet; perhaps you could try a multiplayer one?
To fix the content browser, switch the view to something like a list view. You won't get previews of anything but it stops them from previewing- which should fix crashes.
To do this, check near the bottom of the content list and look for some small buttons that change how the content is displayed.

Homeostatic property clusters (HPCs) are offered as a way of understanding natural kinds, especially biological species. I review the HPC approach and then discuss an objection by Ereshefsky and Matthen, to the effect that an HPC qua cluster seems ill-fitted as a description of a polymorphic species. The standard response by champions of the HPC approach is to say that all members of a polymorphic species have things in common, namely dispositions or conditional properties. I argue that this response fails. Instances of an HPC kind need not all be similar in their exhibited properties. Instead, HPCs should instead be understood as unified by the underlying causal mechanism that maintains them. The causal mechanism can both produce and explain some systematic differences between a kind's members. An HPC kind is best understood not as a single cluster of properties maintained in stasis by causal forces, but as a complex of related property clusters kept in relation by an underlying causal process. This approach requires recognizing that taxonomic systems serve both explanatory and inductive purposes.

Camelia Verduzco has been travelling throughout the Bay Area and beyond over the last few months fighting human trafficking as an intern for Red Window Project, a Livermore-based organization that equips survivors of trafficking in the Philippines to land and succeed in promising careers.
Her ventures have included the Justice Summit in San Luis Obispo, advocating at Senator Feinstein's San Francisco Office, presentations at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church and Cornerstone Fellowship in Walnut Creek, and training by the Alameda County District Attorney's Office in Oakland.
Her next stop on this justice journey will be Sacramento on January 25 to participate in a "peaceful protest against sex trafficking" organized by Bridget's Dream, an esteemed non-profit fighting sex-trafficking by redeeming victims and protecting those vulnerable to this modern form of slavery that sells sex with minors for financial gain.
Verduzco met Leah Albright-Bryd, Bridget Dreams' founder and executive director, while they were both attending the Alameda County D.A. Office's H.E.A.T. (human exploitation and trafficking) Watch session about the sexual exploitation of minors with intellectual disorders in December.
Verduzco said, "To meet such a dynamic force in this fight against human trafficking empowered me to create change, even in small amounts, and not wait for change to just happen. Her intelligence, savvy, and love shine through to influence everyone around her."
Albright-Byrd's "Take A Stand Against Sex-Trafficking Peaceful Protest" is intended to show the community that they care about these atrocities being perpetuated upon children and are united to ending to it.
Verduzco will be among these peaceful trafficking protesters, in her words, "as a call to action, a public message that cannot be silent about the cruelty of human trafficking. All who join will be stepping off the sidelines and into the fray to confront injustice and evil. They will form a unified voice for the voiceless. A simple step together to make a big change."
A big change in California is necessary. A 2013 Child Welfare Council Report stated: "California is at a crossroads. Commercial sexual exploitation of children is an epidemic spreading at an exponential rate across the state."
Shared Hope International, a leader in the effort to eradicate sex trafficking worldwide, assigned California the worst rating in the country after a review of every state's legislation and how well it responds to combating domestic minor sex trafficking.
Verduzco recognizes both the necessity and the urgency of this crisis: "This fight is important to me because I don't want to look back on my young life and see someone who said nothing and made no effort to change the staggering number of children sold for sex."
She passionately emphasized: "My heart beats with the reminder that this horror is a reality for many young girls and boys just miles from my home. I would be the biggest hypocrite to desire change in this world yet remain stagnant."
You can join her, Albright-Byrd, and Bridget Dream's goal of at least 100 who will put their desire for change into action on January 25 from 2-5 p.m. Sign up at this registration link. Then Tim Honeycutt will provide you with detailed instructions: (530) 601-9692 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

If it was a dry run it worked well enough to get United States law enforcement officials scrambling and showing their hand to the terrorists who planted two would be bombs on cargo planes headed to the US. There were explosives in the devices according to preliminary reports of the Fed Ex and UPS cargo flights from the Middle East with targeted packages going to Jewish organizations in Chicago.
"The preliminary indication is the device had explosives," President Obama told reporters gathered for a brief statement at the White House. "This is a credible terrorist threat" and the events "underscore the necessity of remaining vigilante against terrorism."
The president got the word from his top intelligence officials the night before and put the proper teams in motion. He went about his normal duties so as to not arouse suspicion. It seems the potential bombs were easily seen with wires sticking out of them. One included explosive powder. Most experts told news organizations it seemed like a dry run.
The packages came from the same address in Yemen onto a pair of flights with Chicago destinations. One flight was inspected in the United Kingdom; the other had the unusual incidence of being escorted by US fighter jets from the Canadian border to New York.
Others questioned the dry run theory wondering what could be achieved with the wires visible seen sticking out of what appeared to be toner cartridges. It was as if the perpetrators wanted them to be seen. This could be exactly the case.
By testing the waters and making sure the "bombs" were found Al-Qaida officials could watch exactly what happens, who would be doing what and taking notes on procedures as they actually took place. In addition, new information could be gleaned from news reports as investigative reporters do their best to uncover exactly what happened and why. The amount of intelligence gained by terrorist operatives might give them an edge when they actually plant the real thing.
White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan later told reporters the explosives "were in a form that was designed to try to carry out some type of attack." He would not speculate further. "The forensic analysis is under way and clearly from the initial observation, the initial analysis that was done, the materials that were found in the device that was uncovered was intended to do harm."
Everyone has been extra careful in dealing with passenger planes but cargo planes are another story. Thousands, if not millions of packages, get shipped everyday from places such as Yemen, Moscow, Milan, and Tokyo and to and from every destination in the world. There is no way every package can be screened. Nor should it be.
"There have been discussions about these screenings because of the various cargos such as exotic animals," one reporter pointed out. "There are concerns about having tropical fish and snakes sitting in cargo holders on a hot tarmac waiting to be screened."
The cost of the very expensive screening machines and of course the time involved using ground personnel is disruptive. You can bet after this incident however, a second and even third look will be taken to make screening of cargo flights a priority.

The chief executive of Ladbrokes sought to draw a line under the collapse this week of bid talks with Sportingbet as he insisted the bookmaker was making "small, steady steps" in its turnaround strategy.
Richard Glynn, who took the reins at Ladbrokes 18 months ago, said that while a takeover of Sportingbet would have accelerated the rebuilding of the group's lacklustre online gambling operations, he was "very confident of delivering our organic plan".
Reporting a fall in third-quarter profits, Mr Glynn was adamant that the bid talks had not affected trading. "Some 99 per cent of the business has been

There seems to be a lot of research on anonymisation methods for graph structured data to protect privacy in online social networks(Zhou, et al. 2008), but where can I find similar methods for anonymising RDF and privacy in the semantic web in general?
It seems to me that privacy preservation in the Linked data model is even more complex, given that: (I'm new to this, so please correct me)
For someone who wants to publish anonmyised personal data as Linked Data - if only to create FOAF Persons and attributes (on the behalf of my friends :), where do I turn to?

Good question. My gut says that anonymisation on the infrastructural level of RDF/RDFS/OWL would be difficult, and that it would be up to domain experts to make informed decisions. My initial impression was that, as a crude analogy, it would be like asking how to anonymise JSON ... i.e., it depends on the JSON.
On the other hand, there's an interesting parallel between "entity disambiguation" or "sameAs mining" (that look to resolve identity through looking for potentially complex or approximate "keys" ... e.g., birthday and full name, or username and site, etc.) and de-anonymisation techniques. So maybe you could take that research and invert it. :)

Wouldn't this be as easy as making your RDF data not public? And if you have a SPARQL end-point you would also make that private.
Otherwise it doesn't make much sense to use Linked Data, which is all about collaboration and sharing data, if you're not willing to share.
answered 29 Jan '13, 10:01
Luca Matteis
That's a bit of an oversimplification. There is tons of data (for example, in government organizations) that can be of great interest if published, yet may contain privacy-sensitive things (details of individuals). One goal of anonymisation is to be able to 'filter' such datasets, so that the "safe-to-publish" bit can be extracted and made public.
(29 Jan '13, 14:19) Jeen Broekstra ♦
I'm not sure about that. I would separate the privacy-sensitive triples, and make them private. So you could imagine a system where you have a public.rdf and a private.rdf dataset. Triples offer this kind of flexibility, so why not take advantage of it? You could protect your private.rdf dataset with HTTP standard authentication, making it extremely easy to implement.
(29 Jan '13, 14:39) Luca Matteis
@lmatteis, that's fine, but how do you decide which triples to make private? :) That is not as simple as it may seem at first glance...
(29 Jan '13, 15:53) Jeen Broekstra ♦
@Jeen What do mean by saying it's be not so simple?
(29 Jan '13, 16:44) Tomasz Plusk...
I don't claim to be an expert, but what I mean is that it is often more involved than just hiding the phone-number and lastname properties - deciding what to show and what to hide is a bit of a balancing act. Is leaving birthdays in ok if we leave out names? Can links to external documents be left in if those documents potentially mention individuals? Apart from the obvious fields (name, birthday, email), which combinations of properties make individuals potentially identifiable? You can of course just filter everything out, but that way you will likely end up with an uninteresting dataset.
(29 Jan '13, 17:05) Jeen Broekstra ♦
If by separation of triples, you mean removing certain nodes or edges, this would distort the graph and therefore break the chain of inferences required to answer queries. Grouping triples (aggregating Classes and/or properties) is a viable alternative, but will introduce some level of uncertainty in results, eg: "Bob" (:knows OR :worksFor) ("Jim" or "Sally"). Apparently graph anonymization is much more complex than tabular data anonymization, where you can remove certain values, columns or rows to acheive k-anonymity. Zhou et al. (2008) explain why in their paper (2.1)
(29 Jan '13, 20:35) edan
Maybe I am oversimplifying this, but if you want to anonymize your data, you most likely need to know what is the data that you want to anonymize. This is true not only in a triple system, but on any other medium where you have data (even on a piece of paper). So of course you need to identify what is considered to be privacy-sensitive in your system. All I'm trying to say is that it doesn't seem to be different from anonymizing any other type of data. You simply identify if, and you anonymize it using the same exact methods you would use with any other type of data.

How to Make a Bacon Sandwich
As any workman will tell you, a Bacon Sandwich (also known as a Bacon Butty) is a great way to fill yourself up. Although they're best eaten hot, you can make one in the morning before going to work and have it for lunch later. This handy meal sandwich has so many variations, you can mix and match whatever other ingredients you prefer to make your own version.
- Bacon (around 2-3 rashers per sandwich)
- Bread (white works best with bacon)
- lettuce
- cheese
- pepper (diced)
- tomato (sliced)
- egg (fried)
- cucumber (sliced)
1The ingredients. First you must have enough bacon to make a sandwich. Usually it takes about 2-3 rashers.
2Cooking.Now you must choose your cooking method:
- Frying Pan: Put bacon in a frying pan and regularly turn it while cooking so it doesn't get burnt. You know when it is finished when it begins to become crispy. Take the bacon off the heat and drain the grease from the pan so it will be easier to clean. Fried bacon is better than microwaved bacon, as it is often crispier.
3Garnish.(butter the bread) Arrange between two slices of bread and add whatever you please to the sandwich. Lettuce and tomato makes a BLT, but for a Bacon Butty you can add a sauce or have it plain. A fried egg will make an English Breakfast sandwich. Play around with it!
4Cut sandwich in half. A sharp knife is necessary for this, so that the bacon doesn't get ripped rather than cut. A bread knife is not suitable.
5Eat and enjoy!
Community Q&A
- When frying, do not turn up the heat past medium or the bacon will burn. It needs to cook somewhat slowly.
- Experiment with extra ingredients, for variety. E.g. onions (you can fry them with the bacon), iceberg lettuce, avocado slices, cheese (Brie is great), sliced tomato...
- Try using different cuts of bacon, such as medallion bacon (also called back bacon, or sometimes Irish or Canadian bacon). Cottage bacon is also good. Both varieties are much meatier than streaky bacon (pictured), and make a heartier sandwich.
- Savoury condiments such as HP sauce or thick Worcestershire sauce complement the sandwich nicely. Ketchup will also do.
- Try spreading the bread with butter. This helps keep the bacon grease from soaking through.
- Cut from opposite corners for a more attractive look, but a horizontal cut may hold filling better.
- You can toast the bread for a crunchy taste.
- Add on some herbs with the cheese or mayonnaise (if using any) for an elevated level of flavour.
- Bacon sandwiches can be addictive and might increase your cholesterol.
- Watch out for drips of sauce on clothing!
- Be careful not to eat too quickly so you do not choke.

Improved Fuel Cell Performance in Automobiles
Product Announcement from Hitachi Metals America, LLC
The Hitachi Metals Group has developed conductive separator materials and filters to improve the performance of fuel cells, thereby supporting the propagation of fuel cell automobiles as one type of next-generation eco-friendly car.
Fuel Cell Components and Materials
ZMG™ 232 Separator Material
ZMG™ 232 is a separator material for SOFC (Solid-Oxide Fuel Cell). SOFCs are expected primarily because of the highest power generating efficiency among various types of fuel cells. The requirements of the optimum separator material are resistance to oxidation for long-run operations under high temperature of 900 to 1000°C and a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of the electrolyte and also good conductivity. ZMG™ 232 which was developed by Hitachi Metals, is a ferrite base alloy that can meet the needs of higher-performance, large-scale and lower-cost fuel cells.
Metal Porous Sintered Compacts
Our porous sintered compacts are manufactured into various forms by the combination of different forming technologies with the power metallurgic technology. Using diversified materials such as corrosion-proof and heat-resistant materials, different sized pores ranging from 0.5-micron micro pores to several millimeter-order large pores can be optimally created according to application.
They are suitable for such applications as air-water separating zones, Pb (lead)-membrane supports and carriers for reformers.

When compared to a standard aluminum wheel, the thermoplastic wheel rim is lighter by more than 30% and it weighs just 6kg. The rim is made of BASF's new Ultramid Structure specialty plastic material, which contributes to an overall reduction of the vehicle's weight by 12kg. In addition, the composite material lowers fuel consumption when the vehicle is fitted with a conventional engine. The new wheel rim includes a supporting component and a cover that is made from the Ultramid composite plastic material.
BASF's Ultramid Structure can endure high loads as it is toughened with long fibers. This long-fiber reinforcement makes the material more strong and it can be used as an alternative to metal in applications requiring high energy absorption such as engine mounts, battery holders, seat structures, crash absorbers and other structural components. Ultramid grade used in the "smart forvision" vehicle concept is more rigid, dimensionally stable and impact-resistant.
The rim has been designed using ULTRASIM simulation tool from BASF. The position and shape of the ribs in the thermoplastic rim can be predefined and perfected on the computer using a topology optimization without the design being compromized. The form of the all-plastic wheel had been previously defined in an initial design phase and required only slight modification on the actual component.

"Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans gave birth about a week ago, but she is already thinking about how to honor her son. Of course, Jenelle and Nathan are thrilled to be new parents to little Kaiser, but Jenelle hasn't shared much on Twitter about her new son. One can imagine that she is selling the pictures of her son. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on July 7, "Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans is now revealing that she is already thinking about a tattoo to honor her new son.
She wouldn't be the only "Teen Mom" star to get a tattoo to honor a child. Jenelle isn't new to tattoos and she already has one tattoo that represents her first son, Jace. She has a large "J" on the back of her neck. And to honor Kaiser, she wants to get a second tattoo for him. But of course, she didn't go into details about what she wanted to get on her skin. "Just thought of the GREATEST idea for the Kaiser tattoo I'm getting !!!!!" Jenelle revealed this week on Twitter.
Given how many haters Jenelle already has for not taking care of Jace after he was born, she probably won't share much information about Kaiser. One can imagine that she has sold the picture rights of Kaiser to a large publication, so she can really celebrate the pictures of her son. She has also shared pictures of herself in a bikini on the beach, days after giving birth.
On Twitter, she didn't give any details about what her tattoo would be either. Maybe she doesn't want her followers to copy her idea for their own tattoos. Or maybe she doesn't want her followers to slam her ideas. She seems very passionate about her ideas, but she will have to wait until she is done breastfeeding Kaiser before she can go into the tattoo parlor to get her new look. Many tattoo artists won't do any work to a mother who is breastfeeding.
What do you think of her ideas to get another tattoo?

Street dicks? Where?!
I mean, that new X-Men movie and Godzilla sure were great movies!
I'm not sure I can relate to your opinion on Inside Llewyn Davis and honestly comparing it to Intolerable Cruelty seems gross. The movie isn't about a character growing he turns down every single opportunity he has because he is unwilling to compromise what he believes he is an artist. So much of this movie is about who he is and how his job (being a folk singer) controls every aspect of him. If anything comes between that like lets say being referred to as someones 'son' or having to change the way you sing he looks down upon it with disdain. The music is so well done, but you have Llewyn looking at music done by other artists and the world he lives in with such utter disdain and because of that you second guess your ability to trust him as your window to the world. The scene with the woman, you both thought was cringe worthy was supposed to be cringe worthy, it was one of the only scenes not from his point of view to show you that he's an utterly miserable human being.
Also the fact that his partners death hangs over the whole film, is a question of mortality and what you're here to do and accomplish. There are very subtle hints of it and not so subtle hints of it. But it always present if its not him playing the record, its his mother singing his part while they more or less make him sing for his supper. He is plagued by this and its obviously affected him dearly. His disdain and anguish seem like they come from this pain. I'm glad you both agreed that it was beautifully shot because it was. It almost felt like it was filmed in purgatory with a bleak dull tone over it all.
I'd urge you to go back and just listen to every little scene, when he's traveling with John Goodman the Cars that scream by don't sound like cars they sound like demons. This character is followed by his demons non stop, which was actually showed in one of the first scenes where a character dressed in black with no face scorned him for "using my mouth" which would be his job :)
I don't know, love the show and you both but I think you should rewatch the movie. Thanks for the podcast and I can't wait to watch Under the Skin it sounds amazing.
I came her when I saw Riddick mentioned. I love Riddick. I think you meant to write Radness!
Yay a movie podcast!
Nice podcast, you mentioned Wolverine conveniently falling asleep whenever the plot demands it, really, with X-men you can always tell they have to write around certain characters, because there's a bunch of mutants that are just too powerful/useful, so they're always conveniently de-powered/knocked out/unavailable etc.

I came away from Godzilla and Xmen with fairly opposite opinions to Rorie. Godzilla, for me, was pretty bad. Some fun stuff and awesome moments, but overall I was left feeling pretty empty by the end. Xmen, on the other hand, I put on the level of Avengers if not above it. I was absolutely floored by this movie throughout the entire thing. Sure, some of the time travel and continuity stuff is a little wonky, but I really didn't care. People are hung up on it not lining up completely with X-3 and X-men: Origins. Guess what, those movies were complete garbage. Anything they can do to take some of the good stuff and completely side step the trash from those things I'm completely fine with. All the action and the set pieces were interesting and fantastic. That quicksilver sequence has entered the pantheon of great cinema action sequences in my opinion. This movie really perfectly straddled the line between the fun, quirky tone of X-men: First Class and the more serious stuff in X-1 and X-2. I really can't recommend it enough. I had a blast with the entire movie. Felt like I was only sitting in the theater for 15 minutes by the time the credits started to roll. With Godzilla I wished I could fast forward through a lot of it.

Man, not sure if it was this or the last podcast (just listened to both on the train up north) but Welcome to Collinwood is well worth a watch. It's a nice little caper movie, kind of the sort of middle tier film that is so rare these days.

Ken Watanabe was totally wasted in Godzilla. Every time he was on screen, I knew exactly what he would do. Say nothing/very little and look shocked and in awe of everything. It was pretty fun actually.
X-Men was great. I totally forgot X3 and Origins Wolverine because I watched them once and absolutely didn't like them.
Edge of Tomorrow was pretty great. It certainly has some plot problems if you think about it too hard. I enjoyed the humor and action. Definitely recommend seeing it in 3D because it really does add a lot of depth to the scenes. Bill Paxton was a bit of a hoot in it as well.
Agree completely with your thoughts on Llewyn Davis. Kind of the same problem that I have with Mad Men. I just don't like the character and he never seems to grow or get better. Really liked the music but don't really care to watch the movie again.
I've had no interest in the previous Transformers but this new one actually looks pretty cool. I'm going to see it in IMAX 3D.
Definitely looking forward to Guardians. I think Rocket and Groot look great and it has some good humor to it.
I've seen nothing of this new Hercules movie starring The Rock but I like him so I may give it a shot when it's out.
I agree with you guys about movie trailers. They show way too much anymore. You can tell me who's directing or starring in it, and that's usually enough to get me interested or not. The trailer for Transcendence totally made me decide to wait and rent it though despite me liking a lot of the cast. Maleficent and the most recent Spider-Man movie showed all the best parts in the trailers and the rest of the movies weren't that great. Felt like I could have just watched the trailer and gotten everything good out of it. I've been enjoying this season of movies so far.

Excellent podcast.
Can't wait for more.

Agree with the thoughts on Inside Llewyn Davis; thought it was a pretty big letdown. I don't care if the character grows or not so long as the more I get to know the character, the more interesting his/her life becomes. Not the case here. Llewyn felt like an archetype in a movie that seemed to require an aptitude for folk music or a nostalgia for that era of New York. Nothing hit hard enough, and to top it off, it's an uphill battle to get an audience to care about a self-loathing asshole. The music doesn't make up for it either. It's not bad, but I'm astonished by its critical acclaim.
Rorie's struggle to pronounce Edgar has never made sense to me. It's not like it's an exotic name.
I love Rorie and Alex, and love the podcast, and agree with their taste in games, but I continue to fervently disagree with their taste in movies. Just the complete opposite of every opinion I have. Way too nit-picky about X-Men, the Source Code love I don't understand, and I thought Inside Llewyn Davis was great.
I really don't understand why so few people seem willing to give Marvel the benefit of the doubt on the Edgar Wright thing. I know he's made great movies (some of my favourites), but so has Marvel Studios without him. And I mean I saw The World's End and...Yeahhhhh...I dunno about The World's End. That is a less than brilliant movie to say the least.

Library of Congress, British Library and National Library of Canada Achieve Major Milestones in Format Harmonization
The Library of Congress (LC), the British Library (BL) and the National Library of Canada (NLC) have reached a major milestone in the harmonization of their machine-readable cataloging (MARC) formats. The result will be more sharing of cataloging information and a reduction in the costs of cataloging materials.
Agreement has been attained on full harmonization of USMARC and CAN/MARC. In addition, significant progress has been made in the alignment of this harmonized format with UKMARC.
The benefits of a harmonized format include easier and more efficient record exchange between the users and producers of MARC records, elimination of the need for conversion programs and potential reductions in the expense of format maintenance and documentation. Whereas full harmonization of USMARC and CAN/MARC has been accomplished, the three libraries recognize that UKMARC must retain certain features of particular value to the UKMARC user community, and therefore full harmonization is not achievable in the short term. Partial alignment is being pursued immediately with full harmonization as a long term goal.
Meetings of representatives of the three national libraries were held in Washington on Dec. 2, 1996, and Feb. 18, 1997. It was agreed that over the next few months, the Library of Congress and the National Library of Canada will formulate mechanisms for the coordination and approval of future format development as well as determine a schedule for implementation. To facilitate the continuation of the harmonization process with UKMARC, a MARC Harmonization Coordinating Committee was also established. The committee is interested in the following:
- Coordinating new developments in the UKMARC and harmonized USMARC and CAN/MARC formats;
- Seeking further opportunities for harmonization of the two formats;
- Ensuring that future development of the formats takes into consideration other international standards;
- Exploring the impact of changing technology on MARC formats.
In addition, a technical panel will meet regularly to discuss issues relating to the formats.
Winston Tabb, Associate Librarian for Library Services at LC, said: "The MARC Harmonization Coordinating Committee will promote future opportunities for format convergence and ensure that future developments will continue to bring the formats closer together. The complete harmonization of USMARC and CAN/MARC into a single format is a signal achievement that will facilitate record exchange throughout the U.S. and Canadian bibliographic communities and beyond."
Said Ingrid Parent, Director General, Acquisitions and Bibliographic Services at the National Library of Canada: "Although there are many benefits of format harmonization, perhaps the most significant is the potential for reducing the cost of cataloging. The elimination of format differences across national boundaries will increase the pool of catalog records available to libraries for copy cataloging and resource-sharing activities."
Stuart Ede, Director of Acquisitions, Processing and Cataloguing at the British Library, welcomed the progress made, saying: "It was always going to be difficult, given the philosophical differences between UKMARC and the North American formats, to achieve full harmonization in the short term. What we have achieved is a balanced outcome: on the one hand, coordinating development across the Atlantic; on the other hand, preserving the underlying compatibility of UKMARC with other national and international formats, which will facilitate cooperation with European partners as well."

TC TO ARCHIBALD GLEN; 28 January 1834; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18340128-TC-AG-01; CL 7:88-91.
Craigenputtoch, 28th January 1834—
My Dear Sir,
William himself wrote to you last week, with I know not what coherence or minuteness of detail: it was the last thing he did before entering on his new way of life. I intended to bid him say that you should hear from me by next opportunity, or even to mark as much on the outside of his Letter; but, by accident, both purposes failed; and so today I am perhaps better than your expectation.
Tho' your Glasgow packages all arrived, in best order, and perfect suitableness, on Wednesday night, and we were all down next day to see them laid out, it seemed fittest that W. should not remove till Monday Evening, as perhaps in his new quarters the Sunday might hang heavier than another day on his hands. We were all to walk down with him, and have tea there, and "heat the house." An arrangement which seemed to gratify him; tho' he had been getting himself in order for shifting even on the Thursday morning. However, Monday proved as wet as possible; so there was no stirring; till on Tuesday about the usual time for walking, Mrs C. set forth with him (I being busy), and took possession. He looked sad as he took leave of me, but strove to look cheerful: the Pipe-box was not to be opened till night, when I was to come, and "do it in a solemn manner." Which I did; and found him all adjusted, and really looking quite comfortable. Peter has put on "the Door" he talked of; there is a new cast-iron grate with all appurtenances; the Carpet, which fitted completely, was pronounced to be of the best possible pattern; the Bookshelves with Books were hung opposite the fire-place; a green cover on the table: all was right, and looked surprisingly snug. William and we had, as far as might be, arranged the order of his hours and proceedings at Carstammon; for he has a most happy tendency towards order in all things; he was to be called at eight o'clock; to take a walk, on all fair mornings, before breakfast; to learn so many Propositions &c &c.
Since then we have seen him every night, precisely with the stroke of seven; which was the hour agreed on. He brings his Propositions in his head (much more accurately than he once did); demonstrates them, in spite of my impugning, which he bears always with the old patience: then we read duly a piece of Homer together; wherein I am less the Teacher than the Taught, for I find him distinctly deeper in Greek than I. Thro' the day he walks; extensively when the weather will permit; has been at the top of Bogray Craig1 &c: looks in Books, hardly reading much; learns these lessons of his; and doubtless looks forward to seven o'clock as the summit of the whole day. We have generally finished our lessons at nine: then the lady plays to him, some half hour; and he is home before ten. This is the course of one Day; and you may fancy it with only slight variations, as the pattern of all Days. Only on Sunday nights he is to come and have tea with us; and let us have, instead of Geometry, a little "profitable talk."
Judging by this week's experience, all seems to get along quite tolerably. Mrs C. went down yesterday to ascertain as far as might be, whether household matters of bed and board were on a right footing; and had reason to report very favourably on that head. The Austins on their side speak very kindly of poor William: "he gives them no trouble"; "is a real clever mannerly man, it is a great pity o' him" &c &c[.] William himself at all times answers like one well satisfied with his accommodation every way "for the present"; tells us how snug his little room is; how he can wait better there than anywhere "till his time come." One night, but that was before shifting, he told me with great earnestness, it was the most blessed month this, for quiet and peace, he had spent for long long.
With regard to his general state of intellect and prospects of cure, I think it were rash to say more than we used to do when you were here; neither on the other hand have I seen any cause to say less. His cure at best must be very gradual, I have always thought; if from month to month one can trace any improvement, it will be much. I on the whole retain all my old hopes. Certainly William is not worse than when you saw him; I flatter myself in general that he grows a little better; but his variations from day to day make one's persuasions vary, and one cannot affirm it. In the evenings he often looks much wiser with us; but then we believe that to be considerably the best of him. His Regalities and Conquests,2 I think, have turned up only twice or so, since you left us; the last time on Sunday night: but even in these relapses I imagine I discern an improvement of character: they are briefer; the illusion hovers farther in the distance; he is less confident of it; feels you would say almost ashamed that he has spoken of it; and in a little while will talk in the most reasonable, even judicious way (so far an answering goes), for the fit generally lasts but a few minutes. He feels too for most part, and often plaintively admits or asserts that "sentience" is not come yet: he said to me one night as I convoyed him home: "haeret lateri lethalis arundo" (the arrow sticking in his side)3 "twenty months of it, sir: O, it's too much for any one man." These are but moments, however; his general temper is good, indeed excellent; the same Patience and Firmness we used to see in him; of which also his looks are very expressive.
Finally I have long since discovered that his state of body is above all other things influential on him: so much so that one might almost say his Disorder was of a bodily sort. In this particular I have some difficulty with him; for he himself makes no conscience of taking pills: however he will do whatever I desire him to do; and confess most truthfully if he have forgotten at any time. I think too he is perhaps becoming a little more sensible of the importance of that humble duty; which, at any rate, country air (if the weather were mended) and abundant exercise, one may hope, will more and more supersede—
Such my dear Sir is the faithfullest picture I can give you, in this hurry. I hope earnestly you will find a distinct improvement, when you see us in April: at all events, I do not see where in the world poor William could have a better chance than [phrase cut away] … goodness of his disposition; on his youth, and the intrinsically slight nature of all that is wrong with him.— Throughout this Letter I have striven to write decidedly below my persuasion, not above it. Still hope then that it will all be as we wish it; believe in any case that it is for the best.— By and by I will send you another Despatch; I will write instantly if anything go wrong. We got your two Newspapers; welcome tokens of you: William seemed quite charmed with your Letter; he had watched the whole afternoon for our Postboy. He desired me yesternight to assure you he was very well. I think you had better write to him: all manner of news about yourself especially will interest him. Direct, care of me; or Carstammon near Craigenputtoch.
We fancy you getting briskly under way in your new line of Occupation; and prophecy all manner of good about you. My Mother went away a week ago; deeply interested in William; as were my two Brothers, who also saw him here for a day or two: all of them charged me to write about him. Let us know how you get on; and be not discouraged if you find the road a little roughist [sic] at first; remember, that is the nature of all new roads, travelling smooths them.
The Lady sends her kindest regards. Remember us kindly to Mr Lamond, whose Household with the fair (headmost) Head of it we hope to know one day. Also to my old Friend Burgh Councillor Hope,4 whose Letter gave me real pleasure, both for his sake and its.— Great need of some Mary Dallas! Neither Moon nor Sun has been in, for the last fortnight. [Closing and signature cut away]
[Overleaf:] William is here while I seal; bids me say that he "feels quite comfortable at Carstammon"; "shag and pipes all right."

A Lakefront Home "Engulfed" in Nature
From Margaret Everton on July 6, 2010 in Chicago
Not many homeowners would be comfortable with the idea of their foundation shifting under nature's every whim, but Irving Stenn and Judith Racht, as architect Laurence Booth would discover, were a different breed entirely. They wanted nothing more than to be engulfed in the environment of their lakefront Michigan home, which meant accepting everything nature had to offer.
The backdrop of what became a 2,300-square-foot project was only slightly more beautiful than the home itself. Lake Michigan laps at the shore a short distance behind, while the structure sits atop a dune and backs a spectacular forest. Racht described her vision in one succinct statement: "I wanted the house to be hunkered down inside the landscape."
Realizing the damage that the environment can wreak on a beachside home, Booth made sure to use materials that could withstand the test of time. Among them were zinc-clad copper exterior and aluminum-framed windows.
Warm wood tones serve as the backdrop for a nature-inspired color palette used throughout the home. Subtle concrete flooring and stainless steel provide a bit of contrast to the kitchen.
Contemporary furniture and a fireplace set in stone allow a sense of comfort without taking away from the 360-degree views.
Adding immensely to the feel of this vacation home are an outside guest house and screened-in porch. Both encourage relaxation and allow the couple to share their escape with friends and family.
After experiencing the beautiful sunsets and living through some dramatic thunderstorms, the couple agreed that their nature-inspired gamble paid off. And if they ever need a reminder, one look at their home will prove it.

After learning a variety of Balinese arts and culture, the student of the University of Western Australia (UWA) organized an international exhibition in the campus of the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Denpasar. At least 119 works of the students were on display such as paintings, photography, ceramics and video. The exhibition was opened by Deputy Rector IV of the ISI Denpasar, I Ketut Garwa, together with Winthrop Prof. Simon Anderson, the Dean of the Faculty of Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Visual Arts of the UWA, Friday (Jan 24) and the exhibition took place for eight days.
Winthrop Prof. Simon Anderson stated that cultural differences did not become a limitation for the ISI and the UWA. Even, it could become a motivation for both parties to get to know and learn about the culture of other nations. "This arrival is to see the development of the ISACFA program that had been running for the fourth time and the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for next year," he said. Meanwhile, the Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design (FSRD), Ni Made Rinu, said the program took place every year and launched twice a year due to the increasing interest of the students to learn more about the Balinese art and culture.

Welcome Home,
Your hard work really show in your backyard. Lovely place to relax.ReplyDelete
Penny, I left my comment on the studio post, so I won't repeat myself here. Can't wait to see the finished project. ~ SarahReplyDelete
Sell the table and buy a new one? What a concept! I should've thought of that. Ha! Right. Love that wicker and it certainly would complement what you're doing. Oh to sit around a fire on a chilly evening in the mountains. Sounds delightful!ReplyDelete
Hi Penny,
Your garden and yard look wonderful! I answered yes to all three of your poll questions on your side bar...LOL. I enjoy seeing all the make overs..
You are right the wicker is very much the same, but this would be great then you could move all the patio chairs around to either the front porch or the outside fire-pit area. They would compliment each-other.
Have a sweet day and hugs, Elizabeth
Your outdoor area is to-die-for! I could spend every afternoon and evening just sitting out there for hours on end! You have created quite the paradise!ReplyDelete
Your backyard looks wonderful...I envy all that gardening space! You really have done a great job!
Thanks for the links...I am looking for furniture for our balcony off the master bedroom at the lake. I wasn't sure I wanted to go with wicker, but I'm leaning towards that. Thanks, Penny!
Your yard is beautiful..I love your fire pit and
the raised beds. Next year I am going to make
a raised bed...too late for that now in Naples.
Flora Doora
Love the outdoor projects! I am planning a kitchen garden and a firepit area in my wooded garden! Natureboy just shakes his head..he does the labor and I sit back and plan..a charmed life I'd say!
I am so relived that the ice has disappeared and sunshine is finally here!
Things are looking neat and lovely!
Do you not have to fence in your garden area? I mean, I don't know, but it looks kind of country-fied right next to you. And I'd see animals coming in the night, to feast on things.
That possible chair looks comfy and great!!!!!
I does seem easier to just buy something new than have to sand and paint and all that. ....or in my case easier to buy a new sofa than make slipcovers for it! KInd of overwhelming to think about. Anyways, I love the firepit area in your backyard! Is the new furniture your looking at weatherproof? It's great looking!~Hugs, PattiReplyDelete
When my table needs a revamp, I take the easy way out and slipcover the chairs. :) I keep saying I need to paint it but now I've convinced myself there's no point to doing it right now, I should just wait until we move in two years. It's wonderful what you can talk yourself into sometimes. :) Your back yard looks like it's coming along. Love the furniture you picked out.ReplyDelete
Nice chair *choking at price* Guess I better stick to Home Depot... LOL
I LOVE your furniture out in the yard! Looks like a outdoor family room!
Love your yard and sorry the poly didn't do right. Sometimes it is easier just to buy new.ReplyDelete
Your backyard looks amazing. I love the chair you picked out. I like your idea of the 4 chairs around the firepit.
Your backyard looks very inviting. I love that chair and think it looks so comfortable.
I've had the same dining room table forever, and I am so tempted to buy a new one. Thanks for the link!
Are you enjoying the pea gravel? It really looks good. We're debating whether to change our cypress chips to gravel, the wood breaks down so quickly and we're always having to replenish it, such a huge, back breaking job!
Looking forward to seeing the pergola Penny - it will be a lovely spot to sit out.
I know you're going to love that firepit area. We're planning one too. MimiReplyDelete
Your yard is looking great, I remember the photo's from when you started. The wicker chair is so beautiful that I'd be disinclined to leave it out in the weather.
Hope the second go at the table turns out better.
Penny, it is all looking good - and I always want to see more.
I noticed some nice outdoor wicker when I was in Sam's Club about a month ago. I don't know if they still have it, but it was very nice - and black.
I would love a new dining room table, but my husband is not "feeling it".
Hi Penny, thank you for your very welcome home comment. Smile. since I have been gone for a week I have been wondering who won the birdhouse contest. I need to catch up on your posts I have missed. Your back yard is looking beautiful. The porch furniture looks great. I do think you are right to get some weather resistant lawn furniture.
The table is a hard job. I knew it would be. I know you will figure it out.
Have a wonderful day.
Hugs, Jeanne
I would say BUY THE NEW ONE. Some things are great re-done...others, I think, are better new.ReplyDelete
Your yard is looking beautiful Penny.
I've had those moments with paint projects and decided to buy new! Especially with the waning energy of age!
What is the stuff you've filled in your garden and sitting area with?ReplyDelete
Penny, I really love the wicker chair you are considering but whatever you decide to do, your fire pit area is going to be fabulous. The dining room set is beautiful too!
Thank you so much for providing the link to that online furniture site. I found a buffet/console I liked that was priced low because it was a closeout special. I bookmarked it to "think about it" and when I went back to look at it again, it was marked down even lower...$195.00 and free shipping! That's cheaper than most pre-owned furniture goes for on Craigslist! In addition, this one is over $300 cheaper than another one I was considering buying elsewhere and the style is very, very similiar. I actually think I like this one better! Needless to say, I jumped on this deal and can't wait to get it!
Very nice area.. the firepit is great.. I am wanting one myself. Good price on the furniture.ReplyDelete

Apple's iPhone mobile phone within a year?
Telecom News (reg. required) reports that Apple is set to release iPhone mobile phone within next 12 months. Investment Bank's Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster in a research note on Friday said:
"…we believe Apple will benefit from what we estimate to be a 75 per cent chance of an iPhone in the next 12 months."
Apple's entry to the mobile phone arena has been a ripe ground of speculation for several years now. First Apple's foray into mobile world with Motorola's ROKR cell phone was not so successful, mainly because of a tight grip of wireless operators have on any new features and services offered through their networks. According Steve Jobs – "…these orifices just won't allow it".
But with the advent of UMA technologies and Wi-Fi enabled cellphones the things might be changing.
Apple's Filing for a trademark of "Mobile Me" describing the device with computing, digital music, PIM and telecommunication capabilities further indicates that Apple is really working on a mobile device.
So when can I get my iPhone?

Daddy long-legs eating a snail
Back in September, I was finding snails on sidewalks. I wrote about the ones near my office in this post. On one occasion, while picking up the live snails, I also saw this daddy long-legs feasting on a luckless snail that had been crushed to death.
After I took pictures, I picked up the remains of the snail for a closer look. The daddy long-legs remained in the general area and started making short moves in different directions, as if it was searching for its vanished meal. When I put the snail back in front of it, it moved to it and started eating it again.
Some daddy long-legs, also called harvestmen, (order Opiliones) are scavengers feeding on dead animals, including snails and slugs. In addition, one European species, Ischyropsalis hellwigi, is a specialized gastropod predator (Nyffeler & Symondson, 2001).
In this instance, however, we definitely had a case of scavenging. Here is a closer look.
I posted this picture also on BugGuide.net, but it wasn't identified at the time of the writing of this post (7 October).

What types of work are accepted for display?
We exhibit artwork in any media that conforms to the safety regulations of the school and available exhibit space. Please consult with any member of the Art Committee should you have any questions as to whether or not your artwork qualifies.

- Company: Callaway Golf
Since its inception back in 2001, the Odyssey 2-Ball Putter has never been at a loss for innovation. Having gone through 35 different iterations during its lifespan, Odyssey has generated plenty of buzz and opposition due to its unorthodox design and shape, but the results have been uncanny. The latest 2-Ball Putter builds on the incredible alignment that Odyssey has come to master, meaning more accurate and easier putts for golfers of all skill levels. Used by pros like Padraig Harrington, the exposure and success will undoubtedly make this club an even hotter item in 2009.
The Odyssey 2-Ball Putter is a true one-of-a-kind club. The newest version creates a mix never seen before, with Odyssey creating a hybrid of its parallel fang #7 and the 2-Ball, shooting the MOI through the roof while immediately becoming a best friend to all struggling golfers worldwide. By combining optical alignment specifications with ideal weight distribution, Odyssey has found a recipe for draining 40-foot putts with much better frequency. The look of the club is striking (think Starship Enterprise), but it also serves a serious functionality purpose. The two white elongated discs that extend away from the face of the club are bordered by a duo of fang-like protrusions that may look silly, but actually create smoother strokes, improve ball roll and self correct off-center strikes. The innovations are not only limited to the club head, but the Odyssey 2-Ball Putter features a double-bend, off-center shaft for extreme flexibility and accuracy when lining up your shots.
Golfers are obsessed with finding an edge, or anyway they can shave a few precious strokes off of their handicap. It is this motivation that inevitability leads curious golfers to the Odyssey 2-Ball Putter. The funky design and space-age capabilities capture the attention, but unlike novelty clubs, this one does in fact deliver the goods. While it might be of some concern that this club seems to be updated like there is no tomorrow, you can still be confident that your purchase will not become immediately obsolete. For golfers who are just starting out, or near-scratch players, putting is always a difficult skill to master, and that is all the more reason to dip deep into Odyssey's golf bag of tricks and bring this pricey -- but exceptional -- putter out onto the links with you.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Avalanche had a game in good command Sunday night, until the referees imposed their will and got the Anaheim Ducks back in the game. That was the frustrated sentiment coming from the Avs dressing room after a 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks at the sold-out Honda Center. The Ducks used three power-play goals to beat the Avs, including the game-winner with 46 seconds left in OT, 15 seconds after Colorado's Ryan O'Byrne was called for a hooking penalty on Cam Fowler.

CHARTS: Will Gold and Silver Increase From Here?
Przemyslaw Radomski, CFA
On a short-term basis, we can expect a temporary move higher, but see what the charts have to say about the long term.
In my firm's previous article on gold, I examined the situation of the US dollar and the euro, as many times in the past they have given us important clues about future precious metals' moves. At that time, I wrote in the summary:
"…gold's lack of will to really (!) react to positive news, like the dollar's huge intraday drop, is a bearish piece of information on its own and an indication that gold is likely to move lower in the short run."
On the next trading day, after the essay was posted, gold and silver declined and dropped to their fresh monthly lows. With this downward move, gold almost touched the June 2013 low. This strong support level encouraged buyers to push the buy button, and the yellow metal, which last week saw its best week since October 2013, rebounded to around $1,250. At the same time, silver came back above $20.
Will the recent week's rally continue? Before we try to answer this question, we'll examine the long-term charts of gold and silver to see if there's anything on the horizon that could move these precious metals higher or lower in the near future. We'll start with the long-term chart of gold (charts courtesy of
Click to enlarge
Even though a lot happened both last and this week, from the long-term perspective, not much changed in the gold market.
We saw a move back to the rising long-term resistance line (currently close to $1,250), but gold just touched it, only to decline once again. At this time, the medium-term outlook remains bearish. Any additional rally is not likely to move significantly above this level (from this perspective, significantly means not more than $50 above it, which takes significant intraday volatility into account).
In my previous essay on gold, I wrote the following:
"Please note that the exact target for gold is quite difficult to provide. In the cases of silver and mining stocks, there are, respectively, combinations of strong support levels, and a major support in the form of the 2008 low. In the case of gold, there are four support levels that could stop the decline, and each of them is coincidentally located $50 below the previous one, starting at $1,150: $1,150, $1,100, $1,050, and $1,000."
Taking into account the current situation in the yellow metal, the above price targets remain valid.
Let's take a look at the chart featuring gold's price from the non-USD perspective.
From the non-USD perspective, gold simply moved back to the previously broken support line and verified it as resistance. There was only an intra-week move above it, but the price is already back below the line, and it seems that gold will close the week below it as well. Please note that in the final part of 2013, we also saw one intra-week move back above this line, and that move was even more significant than what we saw this week. It too didn't invalidate the breakdown. In fact, it was followed by a significant downswing. We can expect the situation to be quite similar shortly, if gold does indeed rally. The move higher could be temporary, and unless we have a weekly close above the rising support line (dashed line, currently close to 46), we will not have any bullish implications whatsoever.
Even if we see some strength, the ratio would have to move above $48 (where the upper declining resistance line is currently located) in order for the situation to become bullish.
Consequently, some short-term strength is clearly possible, but my firm doesn't think that the medium-term downtrend will be invalidated.
Having discussed the current situation in gold, let's take a look at the long-term chart for silver.
Click to enlarge
It is often said that history repeats itself (or that it rhymes), and it surely applies when we look at silver's recent performance.
At the end of December 2013, silver moved temporarily back above the rising support/resistance line, but didn't manage to hold this level. The white metal gave up the gains and dropped below both long-term support/resistance lines, which triggered further deterioration.
This week, the white metal made another attempt to move back above the resistance lines, but failed to move above the upper of them, and ultimately, the breakdown below these lines was not invalidated.
The next downside target is the previous 2013 low, slightly above the $18 level. Once we see silver below it, the next (and probably final) stop will likely be close to $16. Overall, the trend remains down.
Summing up, looking at the current situation in gold and silver, we see that the medium-term trends remain down and the outlook for both remains bearish. However, on a short-term basis, we can expect to see a temporary move higher. In the case of gold, it doesn't seem that the yellow metal will move above $1,250, and even if that happened, it would not be likely to move above $1,285 and change the medium-term trend. In the case of silver, given the white metal's back-and-forth performance in the recent weeks, we also can't rule out another move higher before the next big move down materializes.
