Secrets of Antikythera Mechanism, world's oldest calculating machine,Breaking News
Ever since the spectacular bronze device was salvaged from a shipwreck after its discovery in 1900 many have speculated about the uses of the mechanical calculator which was constructed long before the birth of Christ and was one of the wonders of the ancient world.
The dictionary sized crumbly lump containing corroded fragments of what is now known to be a marvellous hand cranked machine is known as the 'Antikythera Mechanism' because it was discovered near the tiny island of Antikythera, between Crete and mainland Greece.
"We knew that this 2,100 year-old ancient Greek mechanism calculated complex cycles of mathematical astronomy. It really surprised us to discover that it also showed the four-year cycle of ancient Greek games," reports Dr Tony Freeth of Images First, a TV company, and three academic colleagues today in the journal Nature.

The scheme, launched in late 2011, was aimed reducing the
amount of disposable nappies going to landfill by giving the
opportunity to buy a starter pack of modern cloth nappies for
Council solid waste manager Stefan Borowy said in a statement
the scheme was ''very popular'' and it was an easy decision
to do it again.
''The feedback we had from those who participated last year
was overwhelmingly positive,'' Mr Borowy said.
''We surveyed the participants after the first six months of
use and 86% were continuing to use cloth nappies while over
70% had noticed a reduction in the amount of rubbish they
were putting out each week.''
The contents of the nappy packs had been changed based on the
survey responses. While the packs would cost $20 this year,
the quality had improved, with each pack now having a retail
value of at least $170, he said.
Catkin Bartlett was one of the initial participants in the
Happy Nappy Initiative and she said it was interesting to see
the increase in the amount of rubbish produced by her
household when they have friends come to stay who use
disposable nappies for their babies.
There had also been advantages for her in terms of cost and
ease of use, she said.
''The cloth nappies are definitely cheaper and I also don't
have to worry about lugging large packs of nappies back from
the supermarket. Using them has made my life easier in that
Workshops were being held with nappy educator Kate Mead,
''The Nappy Lady'', who would talk about modern nappy
options, explain the pack and how to wash and care for the
nappies, as well as discussing the environmental issues
concerning alternative options.
Participants at the workshops would receive a voucher
entitling them to buy a subsidised nappy starter pack. Packs
would be available for purchase by people with babies aged 0
to 9 months, or those who were expecting a child.
Mr Borowy said due to limits on the number of packs
available, workshop participants would have first call on
vouchers, with any remaining being available at council
offices from March 4.

OpenSuse Calls for Board Election
In October the free Linux project from Novell will for the first time elect its own board members. Deadline for applications to vote or stand is September 24th.
The election period is divided into phases. Anyone who has supported or contributed to openSuse Linux software, translation, or bugreports has until 24. September to secure active and passive electoral rights. Candidates then have from 25. September to 6. October to run election campaigns. Communication channels will be blog entries, interviews with the openSuse news team and a moderated IRC Q+A. OpenSuse members will vote from 9. to 23. October 2008.
The openSuse board is a year old. Its members were appointed by Novell itself. Now the community are to elect four of the five board members, two from Novell and two independents. Novell reserves the right to select chairman of the board.
According to the new community manager, the role of the board is not to direct or control the software development, but to offer guidance and support. For its first board election, the project will follow the example of the Fedora and Debian elections, to which a link can be found on the openSuse page, together with a list of latest candidates.
OpenSuse membership can be applied for at Users.opensuse.org. Once logged in, account holders will find a web form to fill in. So first step is to get an account. Then have arguments ready to convince the community of the value of how and what has been contributed. Applications will first have to be accepted by the current board, so it's important to apply soon. Membership at openSuse comes with a free openSuse mail address which can also be terminated by mail. Members will appear on a public list.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2

Fans of this successful line, and Rodney Moore fans generally.
Another solid installment in this line which features goo-gobbling as its discursive pinion point. Rodney Moore and Syren get things off to a rollicking good start with a hyper-hot round of pudenda-knocking, during which Moore thoroughly fucks the gorgeous young brunette much to her blissed-out delight. And when it comes time to swallow the spoo, Syren is clearly quite happy to do the deed.
The other scenes here are also winners, although none burn quite as bright as the Syren-Moore have-at. And the cum-ingesting here is all creatively brought about and well-delivered. A winner.

TravelPod Member ReviewsDorna Mamaia
We only stayed here for two nights and it was very different to our experience in Tel Aviv. It was a city hotel with a beautiful classic design. You could see that it was a 5 Star Hotel. I absolutely loved the breakfast. There were amazing buffets and there was a beautiful view of the city, we could really feel the holiday.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Historical Traveler Reviews Dorna Mamaia
Best Breakfast Buffet in the World
The King David was superb. The pool was wonderful, the location good. But the breakfast buffet will spoil you for anywhere else you go.
Fantastic Hotel, I recommend it to everyone
This is the best Hotel I stayed at while in Israel. The staff is friendly, service is great, and rooms are renovated and beautiful. We reserved a standard room but they upgraded us for free to deluxe room. Upon check-in we were given fruit, water, and free complimentary drinks.
The pool is excellent, it was very clean.
My wife did not want to check out.
If you want luxury and service this is the place to stay.
By far the best hotel in Jerusalem. Definitely stay here.
After my less than happy experience at this hotel's sister hotel in Tel Aviv (Dan Tel Aviv - see my review) I was expecting the worst from the King David. As it turned out, this was one of the nicest hotels I have stayed at in the region. The King David is the Grand Dame of hotels in Jerusalem with an excellent location on a hill top overlooking the old city of Jerusalem. It is a 15 minute walk to the Jaffa Gate entrance to the city. The rooms are large and very comfortable to international standards. We were in Room 310, and had french doors onto a small terrace. We overlooked the new City side of the building but nevertheless had a pleasant view. Paying extra for the "old City" view is a waste of money in my opinion. The new City view is just as charming.
Service is great here, and the Concierge is extremely helpful. Restaurant recommendations were perfect for what we wanted. The Hotel has a beautiful pool although a bit too noisy with children when we stayed. Dinner on the outside terrace overlooking the old City is highly recommended. The buffet breakfast is simply amazing and you can fill up until the evening!
We paid about UK Pounds 130 per night. Well worth it! We recommend this hotel and will stay here again. The other good hotel in town, the David Citadel is a 500 metre walk down the hill. Condoleeza Rice was staying there when we were in town and the hotel was booked out. We prefer the Kind David for its charm, history and hospitality.
King David Living Off it's Reputation
Hotel is living off it's past reputation as a luxury property. The public spaces and amenities are generally good but a little tired. It's a solid 4 star (European Standard) if you are in a modernized room, 3 star if you are in one of the older rooms. The outdoor gardens and pool and still great though.
An example of it's decline; the service in the patio restaurant and dining room was deficient, dishes sat on tables waiting to be bussed, wait staff was inattentive. Unacceptable for a luxury property.
I was there for a week when many Americans with children were there. Not once did a staff member or manager ask a parent to control an unruly child in the lobby or dining room. Not once did a staff member or manager ask an adult guest in a bathing suit (or even one corpulent man without a shirt!) not to walk thru the lobby. At times the ambiance of the lobby resembled a bus station waiting room.
Overall it's an average hotel. If you can get a great deal go for it. But not worth $280+ per day. Inbal and David's Citadel are more modern alternatives.
King David Hotel
The hotel has beautiful grounds and pool and our room on the first floor had been nicely modernised. Although acceptable and with better views, the rooms on the sixth floor would be better if modernised.
Wouldn't do it again.
This is a nice hotel, but I would not choose to stay there again.
This hotel seems to run on their past reputation, not the present reality. It just "doesn't get it" anymore.
If you do choose to go there, make sure and insist that your room is on the first through fourth floors. Those are the only floors that have been modernized. Above that the rooms are beat up, the furniture is beat up and it is really a fouth class mess.
The staff is nice, the concierge young and inexperienced (too busy trying to make moves on young girls), BUT this is a VERY RELIGIOUS hotel. Remember that, VERY RELIGIOUS.
Most of your needs will be taken care of, many times you have to ask twice. Not the five star that I am use to at all. It would have been quite a novelity if the doorman, when there is one, would have opened my car door just once in the five days I was there.
The bartender said an unusual remark to me, he told me that mostly Jewish people stay in the hotel because Christians don't have any money. That didn't set well.
It is different, but if you are looking for service with a smile, you may want to look elsewhere.
Hope this helps anyone who is thinking about this place.
Beautiful in Jerusalem!
We stayed here with our children. The rooms were exquisite. My kids especially loved the "James Bond-like" drapes. You could open and close them with bedside controls! We did not pay extra for a room with a view, but our view was still beautiful! The breakfast and dinner was great. The staff was great. The location was great. Our shower did have a problem, but they fixed it within a reasonable amount of time. They gave us complimentary cookies that said "Shabbat Shalom" and chocolate covered strawberries. That was a nice touch. We would all highly recommend this hotel.
Great location , Great hotel!
Service could not have been more friendly. Breakfast is wonderful and the short walk to the Old City is quite convenient. A first-rate hotel in all respects....
Loved the King David
Stayed at the King David this past week and found the hotel to be elegant,
comfortable, with excellent service, great location, lovely breakfast buffet.
Spent 2 weeks in Israel travelling all over the country and never felt the least bit concerned about safety. I had the opportunity to also visit 4 other hotels in Jerusalem and the King David would still be my first choice.
The most excuisite hotel we have traveled to in a long time! The King David hotel is simply beautiful! The entrance is grand and feels like royalty yet strangely enough it also feels very welcoming. The rooms are very clean and one could almost eat off the floors! (Not that we even attempted)
Check in was speedy and the gentleman at the desk was quite curteous. Especially since my 4 year old was very exhausted after a long journey. He offered her a lollipop and the nicest room in the hotel! We were all VERY pleased and we will DEFINITLY be no strangers to this beautiful welcoming country. We are sure to be back and stay at the KDH!
Thank you for the BEST 2 week vacation we could EVER have experienced.

Sixteen million men and women served in uniform during World War II. Today, 1.2 million are still alive, but hundreds of those vets are dying every day. In honor of Memorial Day, NPR's All Things Considered is remembering some of the veterans who have died this year.
"Tad Nagaki was a gentle, quiet farmer," says Mary Previte, a retired New Jersey legislator and former captive of the Japanese during World War II. That quiet farmer, who did extraordinary things, died in April at the age of 93 at his grandson's Colorado home.
With her siblings and separated from her missionary parents, Previte spent nearly three years in the harsh conditions of a prison camp in China during the war.
Tadashi "Tad" Nagaki was among her rescuers. Previte was 12 at the time and never forgot him. More than a half-century after the war, she tracked Nagaki down and learned more about his life.
Nagaki, a Japanese-American, grew up on a family farm in Alliance, Neb. After the war, he went back to Alliance to farm corn, beans and sugar beets.
Previte says Nagaki was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1941, just before Pearl Harbor was attacked. He was 21 at the time and stationed at Fort Monmouth, N.J.
When the U.S. entered the war, Nagaki wanted to join the fight. But when he asked if he could be an airman, Previte says, "he got a letter from his commander in Fort Monmouth that said, 'No, [he] could not be an airman,' because he was Japanese-American."
Instead, Nagaki was sent to another base and given mundane tasks like landscaping. But Nagaki and other Japanese-American GIs wanted to do more. They asked repeatedly what they could do to join a combat unit, Previte says, but for two years, "they kept being turned down."
Finally, the War Department realized it needed Japanese-speakers for intelligence work. The Office of Strategic Services selected a handful of them to serve in China and Burma — including Nagaki.
The war had just officially ended when Nagaki's OSS team parachuted into the camp where Previte and about 1,500 others had been held. Although the emperor had surrendered a few days earlier, the Japanese camp guards raised their guns when they saw the Americans descending. But no shots were fired and they handed their guns over to the Americans.
The rescue brought elation to the camp, Previte recalls. "Everyone was berserk," she says. "I mean, out of their minds pandemonium. People laughing, weeping, dancing."
Nagaki and the other American rescuers were followed around by the freed prisoners wherever they went, Previte says. "One lady cut off a piece of his hair so she could have it for a souvenir."
Previte says Nagaki told her he didn't want to be known as a hero. He said he did what any American would have done. But Previte gives him higher praise.
"Tad Nagaki was an American hero and I can never say enough 'thank yous,' " she says.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin prison officials say a global positioning system that tracks sex offenders failed for several hours, leaving authorities in 49 states blind to offenders' real-time movements.
Wisconsin Corrections Department spokeswoman Linda Eggert says
her agency confirmed with the system's manufacturer, Boulder, Colo.-based BI Incorporated, that the Tuesday outage affected 16,000 offenders.
Eggert says the outage began around 9 a.m. and was back up about
11 hours later.
She says Wisconsin prison officials had local police and probation agents detain about 140 offenders until the system was back up and their whereabouts during the outage could be confirmed.
A message left at BI's offices wasn't immediately returned.

My blog is self-hosted using WampServer on Windows 7.
My posts often contain mixed Hebrew & English text (e.g., I do a lot of translation work). To accomplish this, I compose the text in Word (or my Hebrew editor) and then paste it into my blog.
Here's the problem:
I want to display the Hebrew using the font I use in Word (i.e., Times New Roman). However, when I paste from Word into WP, some other font is used (Arial I think, but am not sure). What should I do to get WP to display the Hebrew in my desired font?
Thanks, in advance

Most of the websites I've developed by using WordPress were slow. My server is not the best one but the loading time with css and everything was almost 10 seconds. I downloaded the premium themes and tested them at local. The performance was not even good, the page load time was around 6 seconds when WordPress default themes were around 2 to 3 seconds. I searched for new themes from WordPress panel and found Responsive. The theme was working pretty fast at my local; page load time was around 3 seconds and I customized it. Added one random image rotator: <img width="440" height="300" alt="Quran" src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/quran<?php echo rand(1,5);?>.jpg" class="aligncenter">
The website is still under development but the main thing is I want a very fast website...
Please help me, how can I keep it fast, simple, beautiful and useful.

Calif. Tree Farmer Concerned about Immigration
California tree grower Robert Wooley sells peach, cherry and almond trees to commercial growers. Lately, he says, demand has been slackening, especially for fruit trees. The commercial growers he sells to rely on labor by Mexican and Central American immigrants. He says the crackdown on immigration raises concerns that buyers will face a shortage of hands to harvest the fruit, and as a result consumers will inevitably pay more.
Wooley speaks with John Ydstie

NFL Team Report - San Diego Chargers - INSIDE SLANT
Somehow, the ghosts of Pete Stoyanvich lives.
Veteran San Diego Chargers fans know the tale, which is so relevant after a former Mr. Irrelevant missed a go-ahead field goal in Sunday's win overtime win against the Kansas City Chiefs in the final regular season game.
The Chargers prevailed, 27-24, when the Chiefs' Ryan Succop misfired from 41 yards in the closing seconds of regulation. Not only did that give the Chargers new life, but it also kept their playoff dreams alive.
Those dreams came true when Nick Novak was true from 36 yards. Strange, but that still gives the Chargers a chance to reach the Super Bowl -- just like in 1995.
That was when Stoyanvich was, like Succop, was wide right. Instead of the Chargers being eliminated in that divisional playoff game, they survived to upset the Steelers in the AFC Championship Game to advance to their lone Super Bowl.
That's down the road for this year's Chargers. But if they don't rally from a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit -- with some help from Succop -- Monday comes with them cleaning out lockers instead of preparing for Sunday's postseason date with the Bengals.
"It's the goal of every coach in the league to get into the tournament," Chargers rookie head coach Mike McCoy said. "That's the big thing for us to get in the tournament and see what happens."
That the Chargers were the benefactor of Succop's misfire and the Chiefs resting 20 of their 22 starters means squat. What's important is the snapped their three-year run of missing the playoffs by winning their fourth straight game and fifth of six.
A season that was seemingly lost after falling two games under .500 on Dec. 1 -- with a loss to the Bengals -- has new life.
"It's been a tough year," center Nick Hardwick said. "We had to catch some breaks and have things fall our way. It is so fun to be part of it."
The Chargers enter the postseason with two things riding in their favor: they are relatively healthy and are possession a hot streak. They also know they can prevail on the road, with wins at Denver and Kansas City on their resume.
Then again, the Bengals are 8-0 at home and hungry for their first playoff win since 1990.
But the Chargers aren't worry about that. They're riding on after an unlikely outcome to the regular season, one in which the Chargers had to go 2-0 in the final two weeks with the Ravens and Dolphins went 0-4.
Oh my, it happened.
"There is love everywhere," rookie tackle D.J. Fluker said. "Enjoy it for 24 hours, then we have to get back to work."
It comes with a sense of back to the future -- scoot over Stoyanvich and make room for Succop.
NFL Team Report - San Diego Chargers - NOTES, QUOTES
--Wide receiver Keenan Allen, a third-round pick, finished the season as the team's leading receiving with 1046 yards. He is the first Chargers rookie to surpass the 1,000-yard mark since John Jefferson had 1,001 in 1978. Allen should be in the conversation for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.
--Outside linebacker Melvin Ingram continues to give the defense a boost after returning from his offseason knee injury. Ingram, who tore his ACL about six months ago, had four tackles -- one for a loss -- and a quarterback hit in Sunday's win. "It was a blessing to get hurt in one season and come back in the same season from the injury I had," he said. "This is just another stepping-stone for what we're trying to build around here."
--Numerous reports have various teams interested in speaking to Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt about their head-coaching vacancies. But he won't be able to interview until after the playoffs, with the Chargers not having a bye in the opening week of the tournament.
--Tight end Antonio Gates has heard plenty of halftime speeches in his 11-year career. But he said coach Mike McCoy didn't panic with the Chargers down by seven points after two quarters. "He told us to just take a deep breath and relax," Gates said. "We are still in the game. If we can believe we can win then we are going to win."
NFL Team Report - San Diego Chargers - STRATEGY AND PERSONNEL
--DT Cam Thomas has seen few snaps since Sean Lissemore has been inserted into Thomas' starting spot. But Thomas remains a big part of the defensive line rotation and he had a big game on Sunday with four tackles -- two were for losses.
--ILB Manti Te'o continues to make strides and that includes his game on Sunday. The rookie starter had 10 tackles, one for a loss.
--RB Ronnie Brown returned a kick for 28 yards on Sunday, a rare decent return to an area of the game the Chargers have been eager to improve.
--WR Eddie Royal briefly left the game with a head injury, but he did return. He said he would be fine for Sunday.
PASSING OFFENSE: B-plus -- Philip Rivers did get nicked with an interception, but the fault goes to Keenan Allen as he slipped on a timing route. Otherwise Rivers was keen, as he threw for three touchdowns and 229 yards. He stayed calm in a pocket that was often dirty, as he was sacked three times as his receivers had trouble getting separation from the Chiefs' defensive backs. Six receivers caught passes; three collected scoring passes. Allen continues to shine, although he did slip but didn't let that keep him down as he was the team's leading receiver with 89 yards.
RUSHING OFFENSE: A -- Ryan Mathews continues to have a career year as he racked up 144 yards on 24 carries -- with a long of 44. The run-blocking was solid for Mathews, but don't discount how he is able to game yardage after contact. He is not going down easily and more importantly, is holding on to the ball and staying fit. Among a reason Mathews has been on a roll is the starting offensive line got healthy and is playing well as a unit.
PASS DEFENSE: C -- Too many big plays here, too many blown coverages. That was the reading for the first three quarters, but secondary stiffened in the final quarter with the game on the line. But there no interceptions and only two passes defensed by the defense despite facing a backup quarterback in Chase Daniel. Eric Weddle had a game-high 12 tackles, although his biggest contribution will be noted in the special teams grading.
RUSH DEFENSE: C-minus -- Again, the first half was so much different than the second half. The Chiefs, running with their second-teamers, rushed for 143 yards. But then again, the Chiefs rushed for just 20 in the second half. The Chiefs started seeing a more stout run defense as the Chargers' defensive line and inside linebackers rose to the challenge. But it was disturbing to see Knile Davis rush for two scores and 81 yards.
SPECIAL TEAMS: A -- Eric Weddle showed his guts by calling a fake punt in overtime, with the Chargers needing 2 yards from their 28-yard line. Weddle just did get enough yardage to keep the drive alive and it resulted in the go-ahead touchdown. The coverage units were so-so, with Dexter McCluster brought back a punt 32 yards. And there was a kick return by Quintin Demps of 41 yards. But the combination of Weddle's play and Nick Novak's game-tying and go-ahead field goals eclipse the hiccups.
COACHING: A -- Mike McCoy's team had every reason to win after losses by the teams they were chasing for the AFC's final playoff spot had lost. But the Chargers came out not handling the pressure well, as the were on their heels with missed tackles and blown coverages. But McCoy, instead of tearing down walls at halftime, told his team to chill. He didn't panic and neither did the Chargers as they tightened up their game to survive. Defensively the Chargers were better in the second half, although it was so much of a schematic shift as just returning to the fundamentals which coordinator John Pagano always preaches. McCoy kept the team believing it could rally, and it did.

The goodlooking curly headed one from One Direction the best band ever thanks to Simon Cowell and the X Factor UK 2010. Originally from Holmes Chapel, Cheshire ... he is known for his naughtey antics such as walking around naked all the time or wearing a gold thong. He is also know for his very dirty mind especially after whisphering to Matt Cardel who was very emotional at the time " Think about how much pussy your gunna get" on live national tv. He also tweeted #Shocka and got it trending in the uk after hearing it on some american girls twitcam, unaware of its dirty meaning which took him a good 10 minutes to realise before tweeting that he had been misled (sure we definitly beleive that!!!) and that he wanted his fans to get #boom trending instead. of course everyone was left asking the question...is that the noise she made? He also gave out matt cardels phone number accidently to 7000 fangirls along with his partner in crime Louis Tomlinson. Alltogether Harrys husky voice and good looks send fangirls wild which makes him along with the rest of One Direction the perfect popstars!

My machine is stuck rebooting after displaying an error dialog stating that a critical error has occoured and that it will shutdown within a minute. This started happening right after MS Essentials found a trojan. The machine will reboot whether or not I login.
I'm guessing that this error will go away if I can update the AV software and remove the virus but 1 minute is too short a time frame to accomplish this in =)
So I have tried to prevent windows from booting, without success. What I have tried so far is
- F8 - Disable reboot on system failures
- shutdown /a (only gives me a nice 1115 err)
- Control Panel-> System-> Recovery-> Settings-> Untick reboot at system failure
Any pointers as to how to work around this?

I know these can be called by different names, but I am not sure if Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail is the same.
If it is, have a read of the information in the post below. You may find it very useful;
I hope that helps.
A friend's Vista laptop was dropped and damaged pretty badly. Rather than pay for repairs, she went out and bought a new laptop. Fortunately the hard drive is still readable. She had been using Windows Mail on the old computer and wants to do the same on the new computer. Can I just copy the contents of \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local Folders to the same location on the new Vista computer and be all set?

cmd packages designed for both ExtJS5 and Touch 2.3
Hi -
With the increasingly common core API between Touch and ExtJS, we're planning to create some cmd packages to host shared, lower-level utility code that we use across apps we write in both ExtJS5 and Touch frameworks.
Things like framework-agnostic javascript helper functions (with no dependencies at all on Sencha code), or helper functions that rely on Sencha classes, but only those common to both frameworks (e.g. a date renderer that uses Ext.Date.format() internally with different formatting defaults).
However, when creating a package in the latest cmd 5, it's unclear if there is any "official" way to declare that the package is both Touch and Ext compatible. Do we need to effectively "choose one" SDK to start with and then ensure that any code we write uses APIs common to both frameworks. Is there any current or planned support to specifically mark a package as "common" in this way?
Thanks - ATM

The same concern also might apply to workspaces - i.e. is there a standard way of initializing a workspace to include both touch and ext SDKs, with the relevant versions of the frameworks copied in and referenced in the standard configs. Right now I'm creating a workspace with one SDK, then copying in the other and adding the path references to the workspace-level sencha.cfg.
21 Apr 2014 3:24 AM #3
Working with this further, it appears as though I can leave out the package.framework=[ext|touch] from sencha.cfg, and that makes the package framework-agnostic, in that it doesn't expect or pull in dependencies from either framework. In fact, the framework declaration isn't included by default with 'sencha generate package' so you start out with a generic package.As soon as you want to add a component element - i.e. extend Ext.panel.Panel for ExtJS5 - you need to specify a framework. This makes sense as often the component classes and configs differ between the two SDKs. It's still somewhat unclear to me if there are still some underlying limitations on writing cross-SDK code in a package - i.e. if the two frameworks continued to sync up and started to share more common class names and package structures. But I support that's still down the road...

Temperate climate

|Part of the nature series
|Calendar seasons
|Tropical seasons
In geography, temperate or tepid latitudes of Earth lie between the tropics and the polar regions.[1] The temperatures in these regions are generally relatively moderate, rather than extremely hot or cold, and the changes between summer and winter are also usually moderate.
However, in certain areas, such as Asia and central North America, the variations between summer and winter can be extreme because these areas are far away from the sea, causing them to have a continental climate. In regions traditionally considered tropical, localities at high altitudes (e.g. parts of the Andes) may have a temperate climate.
Zones and climate[edit]
The north temperate zone extends from the Tropic of Cancer (approximately 23.5° north latitude) to the Arctic Circle (approximately 66.5° north latitude). The south temperate zone extends from the Tropic of Capricorn (approximately 23.5° south latitude) to the Antarctic Circle (at approximately 66.5° south latitude).[2][3]
In some climate classifications, the temperate zone is often broken down into several smaller zones based on latitude. These include Humid subtropical climate, Mediterranean climate, oceanic, and continenta Humid Subtropical climates, located between 23.5 and 35.0 north or south latitude on the eastern or leeward sides of landmasses is the southernmost zone. This climate has long hot summers and short mild winters, with annual rainfall concentrated in the warmest part of the year. These climates occur in southern Asia, the deep southern United States, parts of eastern Australia, and in eastern coastal South America.
Mediterranean climate, occur between 30 and 42 north or south latitude on the western sides of landmasses. This climate has long hot summers and short mild winters, however seasonal rainfall is the opposite of that of the subtropical humid type, with a winter or cool season rainfall peak common. These climates occur near the rimlands of the Mediterranean Sea, in western Australia, in California, and in the southern most areas of South Africa.
The maritime climate occur in the higher middle latitudes between 45 and 60 north and south latitude. They are created by the onshore flow from the cool high latitude oceans to their west. This causes the climate to cool summers and cool, but not cold, winters (for their latitude). Annual rainfall is spread throughout the entire year. Regions with this climate include Western Europe, northwestern North America, and parts of New Zealand.
Continental, semi-arid and arid occur from 35 to 50 north and south latitude inland and along eastern sides of landmasses. In these climates winters are cold and summers are hot, as heat loss and reception are aided by extensive land masses. In North America, the Rocky Mountains act as a climate barrier to the maritime air blowing from the west, creating a semi-arid climate to the west, and continental climate to the east.[4][5][6] In Europe, the maritime climate is able to stabilize inland temperature, because the major mountain range – the Alps – is oriented east-west (the area east of the long Scandinavian mountain range is an exception).
The vast majority of the world's human population resides in temperate zones (if defined as comprising the subtropics as well), especially in the northern hemisphere because of its greater mass of land.[7] The richest temperate flora in the world is found in southern Africa, where some 24,000 taxa (species and infraspecific taxa) have been described.[8]

As air ascends mountains, such as the Washington Cascades, it is forced to rise. The rising air cools, condenses, and drops rain on locations situated on the windward slopes, like Seattle.

This sinking, dry air produces a rain shadow, or area in the lee of a mountain with less rain and cloudcover.

She Misses the Days When Fashion Meant That Form Trumped Function
New York
"Years from now," predicts Mary McFadden, "when people look back at this period in our civilization, they'll say, 'This was the beginning of very functional clothes.'"
That's a troubling development to the acclaimed designer of Grecian-style dresses and other classically inspired clothing, whose work is now the focus of "Mary McFadden: Goddesses," an exhibit at Philadelphia's Moore College of Art and Design through Dec. 6 -- though she no longer has any skin in the game. In 2002, after almost three decades, Ms. McFadden shut down her business and now focuses on traveling and lecturing on the design and art of ancient civilizations, as part of her bid to enlighten people about the beauty of the objects that once inspired her collections. (She will also lecture on the topic this school year at Moore.)
So what does she think about the fashions that she sees on the streets and runways now? "I haven't seen anything distinct," Ms. McFadden says.
"I'm sorry, in a way, that people's lifestyles have become very utilitarian, so therefore things that I particularly like are not as important as they used to be. The overall look of fashion -- it's just not as creative, not as focused on uniqueness.
"Look at your top, for instance," she says, gesturing to a basic cotton blouse I was wearing. "You could make that for $1 in China and, hopefully, sell it for $50."
Ms. McFadden's clothes, by contrast, reveled in their singularity. Bucking trends, her collections referenced Egyptian mythology, antique Japanese illustrations or the garb of Indian royals.
Though she lives in a tony modern building on Manhattan's Upper East Side, her apartment is dark and museum-like. The walls are covered with gold Byzantine designs, and the dim living room is packed with centuries-old figurines and robes that she's picked up in her almost 50 years of traversing the globe. In one corner, there's a gold burial belt from 2500 B.C. that she bought in Afghanistan; perched in another is a set of funereal statues from a trip to Madagascar.
These pieces are far from being mere objets d'art. For the 70-year-old New Yorker, who grew up near Memphis, Tenn., they're reminders of the ancient civilizations and artifacts that first inspired her to design clothing.
She was working as director of publicity for Christian Dior in New York in the 1960s when she married an executive at De Beers, the diamond company, and moved to Johannesburg. There, she began writing for Vogue South Africa. That's when she developed her fascination with exotic materials.
"I was living in Africa and I would travel and pick up silks from West Africa, Cote d'Ivoire, Madagascar," she says. "These were beautiful textiles, and I started making very simple dresses -- tunics or caftans -- to show off the fabric."
'I'm sorry, in a way, that people's lifestyles have become very utilitarian, so therefore things that I particularly like are not as important as they used to be.'
While reporting a story in what is now Zimbabwe, she met the man who would become her second husband. (She has been married several times and is currently single.) There, she set up an artisan sculpture workshop while continuing to make clothing for herself.
It wasn't until Ms. McFadden moved back to the U.S. in 1970 that her design career took off. As a special-projects editor at Vogue, she would occasionally wear her African dresses to the office, inspiring the magazine to include her pieces in a fashion shoot. Henri Bendel president Geraldine Stutz placed an order and held an event to show her collection, and Ms. McFadden's company was born.
In spring 1984, Ms. McFadden showed what would become one of her most-celebrated collections -- a line inspired by the Medici dynasty of 15th-century Florence that was filled with gowns constructed from rich, heavy velvets that were then embroidered and beaded.
From the beginning, she focused on simple silhouettes designed to showcase her fabrics. "I figured that I could see the world by going to a different civilization for each collection," says Ms. McFadden, who would spend two to three weeks in places like Greece, Tibet or Israel each season before coming back to New York to sketch out her collection "in 10 minutes -- well, I'd already been thinking about it for months."
Ms. McFadden may be best-known for her "Marii" pleat, which she devised in 1975 for her Greek-style gowns. The Marii -- the designer's first name spelled out with "a Japanese feeling to it" -- is a densely woven pleat that looks so scrunched up it resembles tree bark up close but is designed to drape the body "like liquid gold." The fashion world honored her with a Coty award (known as the Oscars of the fashion world until they were discontinued in 1985) in 1976, and she was inducted into the Coty Hall of Fame in 1979. Those who wore her designs included such style luminaries as Jacqueline Onassis and Vogue editor Diana Vreeland.
At a time when fashion's high end and low end regularly meet in stores such as H&M, and inexpensive, disposable clothes have become almost as coveted and celebrated as those found on designer runways, Ms. McFadden's over-the-top, jewel-encrusted styles represent a moment when designer fare often strove to be artistic and tried to present a different, daring viewpoint. Not everybody could afford a Mary McFadden gown -- they ranged from about $1,500 to $8,000 in the 1990s -- but then again, they weren't intended for the mass market.
Women, too, tended to be thinner then. Ms. McFadden, who still prefers to wear her own designs, prides herself on having remained a size 2 for decades. "We're in an obese climate right now," she says. "Sitting outside today, I didn't see anyone on the street who was thin except for one person who's anorexic."
The market for Ms. McFadden's fashions took a fatal turn after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. "I thought people weren't ever going to be interested in swell clothes anymore," she says. "There was a real pall on Seventh Avenue." Sales began to slip -- even those of an affordable accessories line she did for QVC -- and Ms. McFadden decided to hang it up.
"People's lifestyles have changed. It's a much more relaxed way of living," she says. "They wear blue jeans a lot of the time, and these very exaggerated, opulent clothes didn't have a place in the 21st century. That was the realism of it. At that time, I had done all the civilizations I wanted to do and I felt that after 30 years of doing it, the work was complete."
Ms. Tan is a fashion reporter for the Journal.

1. The "Elegy" falls into clear-cut divisions of thought.
A) What stanzas would you include in each of these first three divisions:
- THE SETTING: stanzas one through five
- THE IMAGINED LIFE OF THE VILLAGERS: stanzas 6 through seven
- DEATH, THE COMMON END OF ALL, RICH OR POOR: stanzas eight through eleven
B) Into what four divisions would you divide therest of the poem?
- the unrealized potential of the villagers (stanzas twelve through fifteen)
- the meager lives of the villagers (stanzas sixteen through twenty-three)
- a debriefing by the speaker (stanzas twenty-four through twenty-nine)
- the epitaph reading of the speaker's gravestone (stanzas thirty through thirty-two)
C) How would you describe each division?
- The villagers may have been able to do good things in their lives, but they never had the chance to do so. Their lack of money made it difficult to reach these goals and they missed out on the great beauty the world has to offer.
- The villagers were never given respect and never had the chance to prove themselves. They kept to themselves and wanted to be remembered just like everyone else does.
- The debrief lets the audience know that one day, they will be in the same position in life. The speaker explains how everyone wants to be remembered by the good things they did and the presence they had in the world.
- The epitaph explains how life turns in full circle, how people are remembered after they pass based on who they were as people.
D) How do all of the divisions form a logical sequence that progresses from the general ("rude forefathers") to the particular ("A youth")?
- The connection between "rude forefathers" and "A youth" is made by the speaker who reflects on how his life experiences were the same as were those of the people who have already passed. This also forms a link between the positive or negative experiences in life by the speaker, from his youth as well as his aging, and finally death.
2. Note how Gray uses vivid details to establish the mood of the poem.
A) How does his use of imagery contribute to his restrained expression of sorrow?
- The imagery used by Gray is very dark and deceptive. Throughout the body of the poem, the images seem quite sad but not sorrowful, as compared to the epitaph in the last three stanzas which highlights the sadness throughout his entire life.
- "Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tower/ The moping owl does to the moon complain/ Of such as, wandering near her secret bower,/ Molest her ancient solitary reign." lines 9-12 - The appearence of the owl suggests that nightfall is approaching. During these times, nightfall was considered to be linked to death - not a happy time!
B) What effects does he achieve with the verbs tolls, wind, plods, fades, and lull (lines 1-8) ?
- The verbs seem to highlight the descent into nightfall: the darkening of the sky, the horizon becoming dim, the sounds of the cows returning from the pasture, the stillness of the air, and the overall quietness of darkness. The effect creates a scenario that the audience can imagine, especially of solitude and lonliness, as the speaker begins to speak of a graveyard and the tombstones he comes across.
C) What is the effect of "peep of dawn" and "hasty steps" in lines 98-100?
- The effect of these two word combinations seems to relate to the image that people remember of this man, specifically to the places where he used to frequent often. They have these memories of him and his favourite places as a part of the memory they keep of him as well as the presence he had a these special places which still linger.
D) What do they contrast with in lines 113-116?
- Lines 113 to 116 express the image of a man being carried to his grave and the solemn expression of the end of his life. This seems to contrast in regards to this image of the man being depressing, rather than the great memories that people had of his in his favourite places to be. This relates to the idea the people would much rather be remembered for the good things they accomplished in life, rather than the negatives.
E) How does this contrast relate of the elegaic tone and subject matter?
- An elegaic poem is a reflective poem, simply about death. The two contrasts, as mentioned in the previous question, are showing the two evident sides of death. There are parts of ourselves that we want people to remember based on how we made a positive impact on the world, rather than the negative experiences we had or the negative choices we made that reflect poorly on us.
3. Would the poem have been weaker or stronger if it had ended before the epitaph? Explain your answer.
- I think that the effectiveness of the poem relies on the epitaph being the last three stanzas of the poem. The epitaph acts like the summary of the poem and leaves the audience with something to think about after reading "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard". The idea of life completing full circle is extremely evident in the epitaph and that provokes thoughts from the audience to be questioned.
4. To what extent does this poem echo Donne's "Meditation 17" (page 271)?
- Donne's poem, "Meditation 17" conclusivly explains how people are not forgotten after they pass on to the afterlife/to heaven. When people can feel and relate to a loss of a loved one of someone they have an aquaintance to, they are united with God as they reflect on the memories that the deceased has left behind. Donne's poem is more focused towards the influence of religion in his poem but it still reflects the idea of life completing it's full circle and every human's passage from life to death.
The normal order of sentences or lines is Subject, Verb, then Object.
Inversion is to switch the order, for example, to Verb, Subject, Object.
- This tool can define relations of thoughts or feelings portrayed by the speaker
- It also reinforces significant ideas and emphasizes the mood of the poem.
Example: "Now fades the glimmering landscapre on the sight," (line 5) where the verb comes before the subject.
Connotave meanings are used to express the emotions, associations, or attitudes of the poem.
Gray wanted "cultured and educated" people during his time to formulate some respect for the humble villages by using contrast.
Through lines 45-52, he uses words such as neglected, celestial, noble, and genial which are positive connotations. In contrast, he uses the word disdainful in line 31 to show a negative connotation.

Janelle nodded. "Its hard to think about but it is a possibility." She sighed. "I just wonder what would happen if she did get taken. She really is the driving force behind this resistance and I don't know if any of us could live up to her speeches or to her in general."
Alex shook his head. "Stay as long as you want." He replied.
"Alright, I'm here. Give Heather her money." Torie demanded.
"Aww, Victoria. Don't you want to stay and chat. You used to love talking to me." He said, moving in front of the doorway.
"And that was before you tried to beat the sh.it out of me." She retorted.
"I know and I am truly sorry about that." He said, sounding sincere. "I shouldn't have done that. I misused your trust in me and now I have lost a dear friend."
Torie narrowed her eyes, trying to decide if he was playing her or being sincere. "Too little. Too late. I will never be able to trust you again."
"And yet you came here, all alone." He said, sitting on the bed.
"How do you know I came alone?" She said, feeling a little uneasy.
"Because none of your friends have came into the room and tried to beat the crap out of me." He replied. "How is your boyfriend? Is he still in the program?"
"Don't even go there. I am not talking to about him to you." She spat, getting p*ssed. "Just give her the da.mn money."
He laughed. "Why would I give her money? I still haven't gotten what I wanted from both of you."
"And what do you want from both of us." She asked, slowly. She wasn't sure if she was going to like the answer.
He smirked. "You really can't figure that out?"
She shook her head. "You know what. I have bigger issues to deal with than you. Heather, I came here. If that wasn't good enough for him, then I don't know what else I can do. I won't cheat on Ryan."
Being single doesn't make you weak, it means that you are strong enough to be on your own; Being alone could be a good thing, because there is no drama involved in your life, no pain, and free to do what ever you want. Life is too short to be chasing those who aren't even worth fighting for, you are worth more than that.

About Jill Scott
A mature R&B vocalist who excelled most with slower, sensual material ("Slowly, Surely," "I'm Not Afraid," "My Love") and was versatile enough to pack plenty of punch with anthems of pride and self-empowerment ("Golden," "Family Reunion," "Hate on Me"), Jill Scott grew up in north Philadelphia and began her performing career reading her own poetry. She was heard by Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson, drummer in the Roots, who invited her to join the band in the studio, resulting in the co-composition "You Got Me," a 1999 Top 40 pop hit that actually featured Erykah Badu instead of Scott herself. Subsequently, she collaborated with Eric Benet, Will Smith, and Common, and broadened her performing experience by touring Canada in a production of the Broadway musical Rent.
Signed to Steve McKeever's newly formed Hidden Beach label, she released her debut album, Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds, Vol. 1, in July 2000. One of the most favorably reviewed R&B albums of the year, the set peaked within the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 chart and reached number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Experience: Jill Scott 826+, featuring a lengthy live set on one disc and studio material (including a soaring collaboration with 4hero) on a second disc, appeared the following summer. Scott's star power soared over the next year, eventually earning her a Grammy nomination in early 2003 for Best Female Vocal Performance for "A Long Walk."
Beautifully Human: Words and Sounds, Vol. 2 and The Real Thing: Words and Sounds, Vol. 3, both of which debuted in the Top Five of the Billboard 200, followed in 2004 and 2007, respectively. A compilation containing several of her most notable guest appearances, titled Collaborations, was also released in 2007. The same year, Scott appeared in a pair of movies, Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? and Hounddog, which set the stage for her starring role in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, an HBO series that debuted in 2009. A switch to Warner Bros. -- which followed some legal conflict with Hidden Beach -- yielded 2011's The Light of the Sun, led by "So in Love," a collaboration with Anthony Hamilton. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The following month, Hidden Beach released The Original Jill Scott from the Vault, Vol. 1. Within a year, the label initiated a three-volume series of remixes dubbed Crates: Remix Fundamentals. Highlight appearances on albums by Robert Glasper and Bernhoft preceded a pair of 2015 releases: the Hidden Beach-era anthology Golden Moments and fifth proper studio album Woman. The latter, supported by the Atlantic label, was her second album to debut at the top of the Billboard 200. ~ Andy Kellman & William Ruhlmann, Rovi
