Climate Fraud
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man.Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded -- here and there, now and then -- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck." -- Robert A. Heinlein

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Alicia Keys Adds New Tour Dates, Confirmed as 007 Singer
It looks like that Alicia Keys is still enjoying her time on the road and won't be taking a break anytime soon as she has already added more dates for her tour in support of her latest LP "As I Am". On her official website, Alicia has announced 11 new dates for her tour with 10 of them are in the U.S.
The new dates for the U.S. concerts will be starting on September 12, at Foxwood Cassino in Manshantucket, CT and scheduled to end on September 28 at Anselmo Valencia Ampitheater in Tucson, AZ. Beside the 10 new schedule in the States, Alicia also added 1 other date which is a trip to Rotterdam, Holland on October 27.
In other news, just as previously predicted Alicia has won the race to be the singer of the new James Bond movie, "Quantum of Solace". For the theme song that will be titled "Another Way To Die", the singer will be teaming up with The White Stripes' Jack White who also produces and writes the track.
The upcoming project also marks the first time that the famous detective movie's theme song is being performed by a duet. Unfortunately, there is no confirmation yet on the release date of the song but according to Billboard.com the soundtrack album of the movie itself will be spawned on October 28.

Still pretty after all these years
Last time we checked in with Tristan Prettyman, she'd been let out of her major-label contract, for which she blamed me. Still, she keeps working, and right now she's touring with Eric Hutchinson on what is called the City and Sand Tour. For a surfer girl from Southern California, this makes perfect sense.
(Parenthetical obviously note: Waikiki, seen here, is a sister city to, um, Bixby, Oklahoma. I have no idea how this happened.)
This trip to Hawaii, I should point out, was not actually on the tour: that was, I think, last year. (All these pix are from her Facebook timeline.) This on-stage shot, however, is from the current tour:
Of course, unless you're an A-list star, the road can be a tedious and boring place, and there are tedious and boring things that have to be done, like this:
Her new EP, Back to Home, released independently, is on my Get list. No videos yet, but here's a take literally, a take on "Say Anything," which you might have heard in the film Safe Haven:

Raster image editors: A comparative look at the GIMP and KritaSubmitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 1st of November 2006 12:47:23 PM Filed under
With the release of Krita 1.6, it seems like a good time to compare the two big raster image editors for Linux. Coming as they do from the divergent GTK+ and KDE programming camps, it can be hard to assess the differences between the GIMP and Krita without being swayed by politics and emotion. Let's take a cold, hard look at the two, and compare the features side by side.

In an era when the next edition of Microsoft Windows is pushed back more than a year, and popular GNU/Linux distributions are almost expected to have their release dates delayed by weeks or months, it's nice to know that at least one operating system releases on schedule without all kinds of showstopping bugs and problems. OpenBSD 4.0 was released on November 1 with its usual mix of new hardware support and enhanced operating system features.

Open Source Will Never DieSubmitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 31st of October 2006 10:19:18 PM Filed under
No matter how hard people or companies like SCO try, nor how muchothers believe they know the commercial market, open source will never die.
LDAP Series Part IV - Installing OpenLDAP on DebianSubmitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 31st of October 2006 10:17:58 PM Filed under
I can imagine the comments we'll see on this article. What about X distribution? And so on... I'm not going to justify my reasons for choosing Debian. You can use whatever distro you want. It's just a matter of preference.
Will Oracle's 'Standardization' Offset Linux Fragmentation?Submitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 31st of October 2006 10:15:54 PM Filed under
While Oracle's moves to provide enterprise-level support around Red Hat Linux are stirring up controversy, the vendor's decision to join the Free Standards Group (FSG), also unveiled last week, is capturing less attention. Yet is it possible that Oracle's newly minted membership in the standards group might actually help to dispel industry fragmentation?
Picture your disk space with 3-D filesystem browsersSubmitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 31st of October 2006 09:51:20 PM Filed under
You don't need a Ph.D. in scientific visualization to have some fun with three-dimensional data. Whether you're searching for an unused nook in a cramped disk partition, or trying to find the bloated temp/ folder that's crashing your system, sometimes the flat folder view of a traditional GUI file browser is little help. Luckily, Linux offers a variety of 3-D filesystem that can make your disk usage statistics come alive.
Quake 3 on Ubuntu Edgy x86_64Submitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 31st of October 2006 09:49:30 PM Filed under
Installing Quake III Arena on a 64-bit Linux box isn't that bad actually. I couldn't find instructions anywhere on how to do this, so after figuring it out I'm writing them down here.
ATI 8.30.3 Display DriversSubmitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 31st of October 2006 09:47:43 PM Filed under
There have been a swirl of speculations as to whether AMD will open-source the ATI Linux fglrx display drivers, and today the first display driver (8.30.3) is being pushed out after the completion of the ATI and AMD acquisition. But are these drivers still closed-source? Has any new information hit the wire about these rumors? We have the ATI fglrx 8.30.3 display drivers in our hands today to tell you all of the details.
Fedora Core 6 Innovates UnabatedSubmitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 31st of October 2006 09:44:40 PM Filed under
In its first five releases, Red Hat's Fedora Core has represented the Linux technology vanguard. And so it is with Fedora Core 6. The fast-moving Red Hat distribution polishes SELinux, adds new tools and improves performance.
Why Gaming Sucks On LinuxSubmitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 31st of October 2006 04:10:11 PM Filed under
Despite last week's article about running World of Warcraft on Linux with CodeWeavers' CrossOver, I can't help but feel a sense of despair when I think of gaming under Linux. It seems that over the last few years, with a few exceptions, things have gotten worse rather than better. Frankly, I've had it with gaming under Linux. It's not worth the time or the effort.
How to install Linux on an eMacSubmitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 31st of October 2006 04:08:21 PM Filed under
Why replace Mac OS X with Linux on an Apple eMac? I did it to revive an aging hardware platform and provide a computer to a friend. Here's how I replaced "Tiger" (OS X 10.1) first with Debian, then Ubuntu.
The unimportance of Linux OS and why you don't careSubmitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 31st of October 2006 04:07:01 PM Filed under
As we now all know, Oracle is planning their own Linux. This is causing general hand wringing and dire predictions of doom. Market fragmentation? The Linux market is already fragmented and has been for some time.
What's wrong with software patents?Submitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 31st of October 2006 02:20:04 PM Filed under
I know that many people come to the FFII—as I did—because they feel a deep sense of injustice at how the smaller players in IT are consistently squashed by special interests and monopolists. But I'm going to look at our core concern—software patents—from a different angle, one based more on economics and less on emotions.

How To Build A Raspberry Pi Smartwatch — The Geekiest Watch Ever Made
In our Getting Started With Raspberry Pi series, we've introduced you to the basics of Pi, told you how to get everything you need, and help you boot a basic operating system. But, Raspberry Pi is much more than that. You can use it as a TOR proxy router, build your own PiPhone, and even install Windows 10 IoT. This little device comes with lots of flexibility, that allows it to be used in multiple applications. Well, did you ever think about wearing your Raspberry Pi? If your answer is NO, I won't be surprised. If you imagine a scenario where Raspberry Pi is used to build a smartwatch, it would look too bulky. Well, that's the thing about making geeky things that set you apart from the regular crowd, right?
Ubuntu Leftovers
I've been Linuxing since before you were born
Once upon a time, there was no Linux. No, really! It did not exist. It was not like today, with Linux everywhere. There were multiple flavors of Unix, there was Apple, and there was Microsoft Windows. When it comes to Windows, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Despite adding 20+ gigabytes of gosh-knows-what, Windows is mostly the same. (Except you can't drop to a DOS prompt to get actual work done.) Hey, who remembers Gorilla.bas, the exploding banana game that came in DOS? Fun times! The Internet never forgets, and you can play a Flash version on Kongregate.com. Apple changed, evolving from a friendly system that encouraged hacking to a sleek, sealed box that you are not supposed to open, and that dictates what hardware interfaces you are allowed to use. 1998: no more floppy disk. 2012: no more optical drive. The 12-inch MacBook has only a single USB Type-C port that supplies power, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, external storage, video output, and accessories. If you want to plug in more than one thing at a time and don't want to tote a herd of dongles and adapters around with you, too bad. Next up: The headphone jack. Yes, the one remaining non-proprietary standard hardware port in Apple-land is doomed.

As far as I know, the daylight depict tool will provide both results, with 2 hits marked as "USA", which is the abbreviation of, not the country where Indiana University is in, but "unique set of atoms".

When testing with the it, sometimes it'll generate the USA number of hits, sometimes otherwise. I haven't dig into the code, but my intuition is that the method SMARTSQueryTool.getAtomMappings needs to be revised if we also want to provide the two different results. Just my 2 cents, David

"Slow Moving"
The plot plodded along, and the insights into Roman life were few are far between.
"fun historical mystery"
I enjoyed it. cute story. I think I liked the P. Didius Falco series better, but it has been a long time since I read them. Simon Vance is an excellent narrator, one of the best. The performance and production are top shelf.
"Not what I expected"
I bought this because I have loved Lindsey Davis's Falco books, narrated by Christian Rodska. A number of reviewers compared Ms Downie's writing to those books. Also, I find the, era, location and the state of medicine (for example) in first century Britton are very interesting. However, I was bored with this book. Some of the problem was Mr. Vance, the narrator. Normally, his voice and performances are compelling. In this case, the gravitas he brings to all of his narrations came off sounding stiff and stilted. I gave up after about 3 hours and it was a relief.
This not so much a criticism as personal preference.
"Pretty good historical fiction."
This was a good listen. More of a murder mystery than a historical drama, but I guess that is as advertised. The characters were like stick figures from an English comedy, Fleshed out where they needed it For the story. Not much depth, and worse not much education.
Still, I am hooked and will be back For the other books in this series.
This story just didn't capture my attention the way I had hoped. While I have enjoyed some novels much longer than this one (e.g. 45-50 hours), this story seemed to drag. Halfway through I found myself wondering when it would end. 3/4 of the way through I realized that I am indifferent to the fate of the characters, and I have decided there are better ways to spend my time.
I don't plan to.
The narration was fine.
Not sure.
Good lord no, it's the literary equivalent of valium.
Medicus takes place in ancient Rome and gives you a mild feeling of ambiance during the first couple of pages. If you want strong ambiance, that is historically accurate, consider reading "SPQR I: the king's gambit".
The fact of the story is, "nothing happens". It's pretty boring. The exceptional narration lends it enough 'oomph' for you to manage to finish listening to the book but honestly you could skip about 50% of this story and nothing would be missed.
This book was clearly written by a woman which isn't, of course, a bad thing but shows obvious bias. At least one of the main characters doesn't act her class at all and is a large let down.
"Is there another book on the shelf"
Starts at good pace and then just stays there. Interesting backdrop. Good try
NO please not. Once is enough. Too drab.
Just a simple girl living the simple life. Nothing is complicated when the power of imagination leads the way. Close your eyes & just listen
"A great change of pace....."
A Roman Army doctor with a keen sense of humor and Simon Vance was spot on! This was my first book by Ruth Downie and chosen mainly because of the narrator, and partly from reading reviews. HOWEVER.......I am glad I took a chance because now I am on to the 2nd book in this series! I am HOOKED
The author should have read, e.g., The Egyptian and The Roman to understand, how to write stories from ancient times. It is surely difficult to reconstruct the way of thinking (and such book could be actually difficult to read) but using ancient or quasi-ancient words and sometimes the original language (Latin, here) helps to form the atmosphere of old times. The author unfortunately goes the opposite way, using and also generating new terms, such as Chief Medical Officer, CMO (!!!) It lets you puzzle if someone in the book will check his answering machine soon. The story is a bit boring, this is what I can forgive but the limited understanding of the life in the ancient Rome is not acceptable. Today we are amused with 500-year old painting of the Jesus' crucifixion, when all characters are dressed in 500-year old fashion and wear 500-year old weapons. In 2513, the book might be amusing showing how people thought in 21st century but it is not much fun today.
Not from the genre but from the author.
When the Medicus writes a protocol with a description of a found dead body like a current pathologist.
"good story narration could have been better"
interesting background on rome etc during that period; story dragged some
the goings on in the hospital and market and brothels if they were true were enlightening
simon vance was good to a point until he spoke for Tilla and sometimes reverted to an irish accent. would have been better if he just kept to his normal speaking, it distracted one from the character and what she was saying because it did not fit. I have listened to other vance books and they were great. not sure what happened here
no reaction. will not pursue the series because I could better spend my time on better books.

Scaling of Size and Dimorphism in Primates II: Macroevolution

Previous researchers found positive scaling of body size and sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in primates, known as Rensch's rule. The pattern is present in Haplorhini, but absent in Strepsirhini. I found that positive evolutionary correlations between size and SSD drive positive scaling relationships within Haplorhini as a whole and Platyrrhini, Cercopithecinae, Colobinae, and Hominoidea individually at the generic level and higher, but that evolutionary correlations within genera in these clades are often nonsignificant or negative. I suggest that positive evolutionary correlations result from greater change in male than in female size, usually because of sexual selection acting on polygynous populations. I suggest that negative evolutionary correlations result from greater change in female size, owing to either natural selection or, in Callitrichidae, sexual selection acting on polyandrous populations. The high incidence of negative evolutionary correlations within Haplorhini suggests a relatively large influence of natural selection on SSD, at least with regard to differences in SSD between congeners. I propose two possible explanations for the difference in intrageneric and supergeneric evolutionary patterns: 1) natural selection is a relatively weak force for modifying SSD and has a noticeable effect only when one compares related species experiencing similar levels of sexual selection, and 2) natural selection is a relatively strong force for modifying SSD but is less likely than sexual selection to affect higher level taxonomic comparisons noticeably because of the cumulative effect over time of marginal differences in mortality rates of these two types of selection. I discuss types of data required to test these explanations and implications for reconstructing fossil behavior.

The Great Wall of China
Touring the Great WallThe Great Wall is a must see on a trip to China. Our trips to the Great Wall have no hidden shopping stops so we maximize your time on the wall. There are several sections to visit, but we recommend the Mutianyu section if you are taking a day trip, as this will take about half your day. If you want to do a serious hiking trip, then Jinshanling to Simatai or Gubeikou is recommended.
Why is there a Great Wall?The Great Wall was key to protecting agriculture and resisting cavalry of the Huns and other warrior tribes from the north. The advantages of the enormous barrier diminished with the advancement of gunpowder and other weaponry.
The wall was originally built of stone, wood, grass and earth. In the Ming Dynasty bricks were produced in kilns set up along the wall. The bricks were transported by men carrying them on their backs, donkeys, mules and even goats had a brick tied to their head before being driven up a mountain.
The Great Wall of China was built over more than two thousand years. Construction on the first section began between the 7th and 6th century BC, and the last work on the wall was done between the 14th and 17th centuries.
Below are some of our tours which include visits to different sections of the Great Wall.

SIU called after man falls to his death downtown
The body of the man who fell to his death from a 15th floor in a high-rise is covered on Shuter Street, near Parliament and Queen Streets, in Toronto, Friday, Jan. 6, 2012.
Published Friday, January 6, 2012 12:50PM EST
Ontario's Special Investigations Unit says it is looking into the circumstances behind a death on Friday after a man plunged from a Toronto balcony during a police investigation.
According to the SIU, Toronto police said officers responded to a 15th floor apartment in a high-rise on Shuter Street, near Parliament and Queen Streets, shortly before 9 a.m.
Officers arrived at the unit and heard shouting. A short time later, a male was found on the ground without vital signs, the SIU said.
Toronto police Const. Tony Vella said that police were dispatched to the apartment complex after receiving reports of a man with a gun.
Vella could not share more information about the incident, citing the SIU investigation, but said no shots were fired.
A neighbour told CTV Toronto's Ashley Rowe that a resident of the building had jumped from the apartment balcony.
The SIU is an arm's length agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
Anyone with information or who may have witnessed this incident is asked to contact SIU investigators at 416-622-1898.
