Shahrukh Khan's name missing from Chennai Express poster!
Chennai Express' first look. The buzz surrounding the first look doubled after it was found that the Superstar Shahrukh Khan's name was missing from the film's poster.
Moreover, it was spotted that the poster clearly reads 'A Rohit Shetty film', which has now become the talk of the town. Sources informed a leading daily that since Shahrukh Khan is much bigger than Rohit Shetty, it was expected that the poster would read the superstar's name, instead the filmmaker's name.
According to the daily, Shahrukh Khan is one such actor, who wouldn't mind his directors stealing the limelight. In fact, when Farah Khan made her debut as a director, SRK gave Farah full exposure. And, the posters of Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om read 'A Film by Farah Khan'.

Centre for Digital Anthropology
What is new and different about our engagement with digital technologies? Do digital technologies and practices alter or perpetuate existing social relationships, hierarchies and political structures? What does it mean to be off line in a digital age? What kinds of new subjectivities and publics do digital practices bring into being?
The Centre for Digital Anthropology is a leading research hub for the understanding of digital technologies in the rich context of human society and culture. Through teaching, research and a dynamic series of regular events, we encourage a global perspective on the development, structures, and practices of digital technologies. Our researchers work in Trinidad, Peru, Vanuatu, Switzerland, France, Romania, Turkey, Middle East, Brazil, The UK, China, India, Italy and work on social networks, webcams, digital museum collections, big data, digital models, massively multiplayer online role-playing games, with automated work systems, and with mobile phones.

Funded MPhil/PhD Opportunities
The Department of Anthropology at UCL is seeking 2 MPhil/PhD candidates to participate in an exciting ERC funded project "Citizens of Photography: The Camera and the Political Imagination" co-ordinated by Professor Christopher Pinney. Participants will be required to conduct fieldwork in one of the following locations: Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, and Nicaragua. "Citizens of Photography" is an empirical anthropological investigation of the relationship between photographic self-representation and different societies' understanding of what is politically possible. Prolonged ethnographic fieldwork will study how local communities use photography to represent individuals, families, and other identities and explore whether this plays a role in the manner in which people articulate their political hopes and demands. Interested applicants are encouraged to contact Christopher Pinney at firstname.lastname@example.com for further details.

Vertical integration and the licensing of innovation with a fixed fee or a royalty
In this paper, we analyse a situation where a patent holder is considered as an upstream firm that can license its innovation to some downstream companies that compete on a final market with differentiated products. Licensing contract may be based either on a royalty or a fixed fee. The patent holder can either be independant or vertically integrated with one of the downstream companies. We show that a licence based on a royalty works better with vertical integration, and that consequently, the patent holder have some interest to vertically integrate if it enables him to apply a royalty based license. The effect of vertical integration on the social surplus can be either positive or negative.

Editor's note: The Pacific golf team opened the season at the Topy Cup in Japan. The Tigers posted a 10-over 290 as a team, 17 shots behind co-leaders Tohoku Fukushi and Osaka Gakuin. Alex Edfort led the Tigers with a 1-under 69, three shots behind Mikkel Bjerch-Andresen of Baylor and Shingo Ito of Osaka Gakuin. Author Austin Weatherholt finished with a 3-over 73.
The Tigers were excited to get the 2012-13 season underway, and it was great to be able to do it at the Topy Cup here in Japan. The course is in great shape, and the weather is perfect. Everyone here has been so hospitable and I'm truly enjoying my time here.
Overall, the team didn't play as well as we hoped. Alex Edfort kept us in the game with his 69, and it was great to see some of our guys fight hard on the back nine to save their rounds. I started my college career with a 73, and I feel it can only get better tomorrow. The team had a great practice session after the round, and I know that this team has the chemistry to be really good in the near future.
I look forward to the rest of the week and, hopefully, catching some of the teams currently ahead of us. The goal for the team is to get better every day and build confidence for our next event, the Husky Invitational, which is right around the corner.
At the end of the day, it is just great to be able to compete internationally and be part of a team like this.

The Mario Badescu Acne Philosophy
This Acne Resource Center was made for one purpose, and one purpose only: to educate our clients. There is free information available everywhere about how to get rid of acne some people are proponents of drowning your skin in benzoyl peroxide.

These approaches are all well and good, but they are neglecting the #1 rule of skin care, which we live and breathe by here at Mario Badescu: not all skin is created equal. Different skin types need different types of skin care. There is no one size fits all solution.
At Mario Badescu Skin Care, we have combined over 40 years of skin care research and secrets, handed down from expert to expert, to finally figure it out. Your skin can be cleared up treating acne is our specialty. They say that free advice isnt worth very much, but cheap advice is worth even less. Well, were going to break the mold and give out some free advice that is worth plenty.
Heres the breakdown. At Mario Badescu Skin Care, we see three different types of customers suffering from acne: those with dry skin, those with oily skin, and those with combination skin. These are our broad categories, our base from which we work off of.
We have developed specialized regimens for treating acne on each skin type. Each regimen was handcrafted by our skin care specialists to identify the problem areas that people with these skin types often encounter, target these problems with a blend of time-tested and powerful solutions devised by Mario Badescu himself years and years ago, and then eliminate the problem.
The result? Beautiful, clear, and radiant skin just like our
celebrity clients

I'm not a theorycrafter. My reaction is purely intuitive, not based on reading through new traits and skills and looking for synergies, so maybe I'm just missing what the DH and Temp bring to their professions.
Reaper: Cool theme and different play style from what we're used to with necro. Will open up new options in the meta.
Dragonhunter: Basically a flashy, fancy ranger with heavy armor. Won't do much for new play styles, and very little if anything for the meta, with a class that already has a heavy presence in the metagame. Never mind about the name...
Tempest: Based on what we currently know, a whole lot of flash and not much substance. Mechanic is easily breakable, and should not have any impact on the meta at all. Will likely only be fully utilized by eles who like the pretty colors and lights.
So yeah, ANet is 2-2 so far.
That said, elementalist is a very powerful profession as is, so I'm not sure ANet is totally out of line in adding a spec that does not add to that power even further. It's obvious why it pisses people off and won't be used much, but, just saying.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday to name the Hickory Post Office in honor of Sergeant Matthew L. Ingram, a Purple Heart recipient who died while serving in Afghanistan.
Cong. Gregg Harper introduced the measure. It's co-sponsors include Mississippi U.S. representatives Travis Childers, Gene Taylor and Bennie G. Thompson.
Harper said naming the facility for Ingram will be a constant reminder of the sacrifices he and other Mississippians have made though their service to their country.
"Matthew's love for his country and able leadership took him from Hickory, Mississippi to Afghanistan, and his courage and sacrifice will not be forgotten," Harper said.
Ingram, a 25-year-old Newton County native, died Aug. 21, 2009, from wounds suffered when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle during combat in Afghanistan. It was his third tour of duty overseas.
The blast occurred while his unit was under small arms fire from enemy forces, according to the Department of Defense.
Ingram served as a member of the 2nd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, Fort Carson, Colo.
Previously, Ingram had received the Purple Heart for injuries while serving his second tour of duty in Iraq.
The bill will now move to the U.S. Senate for consideration.

Shell set to review Alaskan oil drilling plans in light of Kulluk setback
Shell is preparing to re-assess its Arctic drilling plans in the light of the latest setback in a trouble-strewn exploration campaign that has cost £3billion but produced no oil.
The Anglo-Dutch firm's seven-year programme suffered a major blow on New Year's Eve when its drilling ship Kulluk ran aground off the Alaskan coast during a violent storm.
Industry sources with know-ledge of Shell's plans said it was now ready to reconsider whether it should continue drilling in the Arctic Circle once the stricken Kulluk, built in 1983, has been righted.
Washed up: The Kulluk ran aground off the Alaskan coast during a violent storm on New Year¿s Eve
One insider said the question of whether to press on with Arctic development would 'have to be addressed as and when'.
Although Shell said there were 'no signs of environmental impact', the accident extends a list of problems that has forced executives to question the wisdom of expensive Arctic drilling.
Efforts to extract oil from the region have cost around £3billion to date and any production is still years away.
Shell will also have to bear the cost
of efforts to pull the Kulluk free from its grounded position and
prevent any fuel from escaping into the pristine waters.
The mounting cost of Shell's Arctic
campaign is matched by the reputational damage caused by successive
operational setbacks that have stoked fears about environmental safety.
Earlier this year the company said it had damaged a 'capping stack' –
the key piece of equipment used to plug an oil spill – during testing.
Greenpeace accused the company of spending too little time testing the stack.
Successive delays have prevented
Shell from drilling any exploratory wells during the short summer window
when the melting of sea ice makes it possible. In a brief statement,
Shell insisted that the Kulluk running aground was 'a maritime transit
incident and not a drilling incident'.
It is thought to have been caused
when a tug towing the Kulluk suffered an engine failure, causing cables
connecting it to the drilling ship to come loose.
Shell (up 15.5p to 2139p) has already
begun a technical review to see what it can learn from the incident,
which took place in extremely bad weather.
A team of salvage experts boarded the
Kulluk yesterday to assess the damage and options for pulling the
vessel free from its position.
The rescue operation is being managed from the Unified Command Centre in Anchorage, which includes Shell staff as well as the US Coastguard and employees from energy firm Noble which operates the drilling ship for Shell.

Sold some APPL in early trade and bought some AKAM for the ride up to 50.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I prefer the reverse trade. Akamai always disappoints. Wish it were different.
Strongly disagree....look at the performance of AKAM stock after a sizable gap UP/DOWN. There always seems to be A LOT of follow through. I'm not saying that it going to 50 any time soon, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the mid 45s at a minimum. I guess though, I would have a tough time selling AAPL after the beating it has taken lately....then again, I sold my AAPL in the 290s thinking that I made a ton.....looking back....oh well, that's why people invented tissue paper. lol
With the alliance announced with ATT today this is a no-brainer! I think $50 is very possible.

The opening of the Berlin Philharmonie in 1963 - recollections of Rudolf Weinsheimer (00:08:30)
It is well known that the nature of musical space has had, and still has, great importance for many composers of the 20th and 21st century – György Ligeti for one commented that he had always sought to "suggest space". The Berliner Philharmoniker, conducted by Sir Simon Rattle, dedicate this gala concert celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Philharmonie to the theme of "space music", including a new work written specifically for the occasion by Wolfgang Rihm.
As early as the 16th century, composers of the Venetian School created highly diverse "space music" based on the principle of polychoral writing, exploiting the two opposing organ galleries of San Marco, as is impressively documented by the works of Giovanni Gabrieli. Ralph Vaughan Williams's Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis also creates the impression for the listener of near and distant music, with the music that seems to come from afar representing a long past chapter in music history.
Similarly shrouded sounds are provided by the first movement of Beethoven's Sonata quasi una fantasia op. 27 No. 2, known as the Moonlight Sonata, performed by Mitsuko Uchida, while György Kurtág's spatial composition ...quasi una fantasia... played by the students of the Orchestra Academy together with the pianist, also requires spatially distributed instrument groups in addition to the piano. Hector Berlioz was yet another composer who knew how to use remote instruments skillfully and create imaginary spatial scenes. His monumental Grande Symphonie funèbre et triomphale op. 15 concludes this concert to celebrate the architect Hans Scharoun's most significant creation.

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
Tarrabt's performance at QPR and Gio's performance at Ipswich are IMHO (had to get one in) testament to 'arry's management. They are both getting time that they would not get at Spurs, and getting a chance to show their stuff, get match fit, and play their way into being retained for next season and given a serious chance at playing for the club. The same could be said for the other youngsters that 'arry has out on loan. AEB is definitely earning his keep, and it's apparent that he (like many players) simply needed an extended run in the team to find his fit, regain some confidence, and provide his worth (another example of why getting the youngsters out playing regular 'ball on loan). Keep Bale - as others have pointed out he's only 19, does have the talent, and can only get better with good coaching (think back to all those who wanted to dump Lennon not so long ago!).I love the Hudd, but at times he does look lazy, and he's not the quickest. No doubting his ability, no doubting his skill and vision, but (and again, this isn't original, I've read this on the board before) for a man of his size, he should be putting himself out and about in the midfield and dominating. I'd give him one more season with the directive to demonstrate a little more dominance.Then there's Jenas - my preference would be to sit on the fence - but the thread started with a request not to do that, so... I'd keep him .... for now. He does do a lot off the ball, when he shows up in the game, he does have an impact, he does have a great engine, I do believe he is a club man. As with Hudd, I'd tell him that he has to show consistency or he'll be shopped next January.Last but not least - I think I'd have to get rid of Bently - I realize that he has talent, I'm sure that he will find a place where he shines and we might regret getting rid of him - but apart from one stunning goal, has hasn't done ess, aitch, eye, tea (thanks Roger) since joining the club.And just for completeness - I'd keep O'Hara - no doubt in my mind!The problem with all of this, is that if all of the players are kept how the hell do you keep:Lennon, Modric, Palacios, Jenas, O'hara, Tarrabt, Dos Santos, Hudd......all happy and getting some playing time - no one likes sitting on the bench, everyone plays better when they get an extended run in the team .... that is 'arry's problem.

Existing cremation techniques employ non-renewable energy fuels such as oil, gas, coal, or wood, which are becoming increasingly costly. Moreover, existing methods are unaesthetic, commonly involving the horizontal sliding or vertical descent of a corpse into an oven with psychologically undesirable connotations. Vertical descent, whether into a furnace or a grave, to the religious, may have connotations also of hellfire and damnation of the soul, as compared to the symbolisms of ascent upwards to Heaven, which, for the bereaved, is a much more acceptable symbolism, but which has not been available to date in any funeral facility. More basically, it has been man's dream for many thousands of years, particularly in ancient Egypt and in the Aztec religion, to be symbolically reunited in death with the sun as God and as the ultimate source of all life upon earth. The present invention makes this possible.
The present invention is based upon the concepts of (a) elevating a corpse through the ceiling and/or roof of a funeral auditorium or the like, to simulate ascent of the corpse to Heaven, and/or to raise it to a convenient work-level, and (b) utilizing concentrated solar energy for cremation of a corpse. These concepts may be used individually or in combination in a crematorium and the like.
In one preferred form, the invention may, for example, comprise a bowl or other solar reflecting and/or concentrating system for focussing the heat rays of the sun on a corpse on a grid with or without a corpse enclosing capsule and gaseous or other fuel supply and return lines, for the purpose of its cremation and reduction to ashes. The solar cremating system may be used in conjunction with a chapel or auditorium for funeral services and/or valedictions which features a roof-opening and a mechanism for raising a corpse, with or without a coffin, to a work level over the auditorium, where the corpse is placed on a grid with or without an enclosing capsule, which is then transferred by a suitable gantry or the like to the focal point of the solar concentrating system for cremation. The enclosing capsule may be equipped with supply lines for air,oxygen and gas or other fuel supply, and a return line the gaseous products of combustion. The gas or other fuel line supplies burners for auxiliary use during inclement weather and/or when it is desired to expedite the cremation process. Suitable ancillary service facilities are provided at roof level over the auditorium. Solar cremation equipment in accordance with the invention may be installed in combination with conventional cremation equipment, which may be used in inclement weather, or the systems may be used in combination to suit climatic conditions on a day-to-day basis.
It is one object of the invention to provide a solar-powered crematorium, which may include the combination of a ceiling-opening auditorium, a hoist, a suitable corpse grid or capsule, a transfer gantry or the like, and a solar incinerator.
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section through a crematorium comprising an auditorium and a solar energy concentrating bowl structure associated therewith.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the auditorium and bowl structure.
FIG. 3 is a section through a corpse-bearing grid and enclosing capsule for use in the installation shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal section through the grid and capsule.
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the grid and capsule.
FIG. 6 is a cross section through an alternative corpse-bearing grill for use in the installation shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIG. 7 is a longitudinal section through the grill assembly.
FIG. 8 is a plan view of the grill assembly.
FIG. 9 is an outer elevational view of the crematorium shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in a preferred embodiment.
FIG. 10 is an elevational view of the crematorium showing an alternative architectural design treatment.
FIG. 11 is an elevational view of the crematorium showing another variant of the architectural treatment.
FIG. 12 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an alternative crematorium in accordance with the invention wherein solar energy concentration is performed by a series of low-level reflectors which track the sun, and a corpse is exposed in a fixed position at their focal point.
FIG. 13 is a plan view of the crematorium shown in FIG. 12.
FIG. 14 is a longitudinal sectional view of another form of crematorium in accordance with the invention wherein solar energy concentration is performed by Fresnel or other lenses over a corpse.
FIG. 15 is a plan view of the crematorium shown in FIG. 14.
FIG. 16 is a sectional view through another form of crematorium in accordance with the invention wherein solar energy concentration is performed by Fresnel or other lenses over a corpse.
FIG. 17 is an end elevational view of an alternative form of corpse grill incorporating a fume canopy, air exhaust duct and fan.
FIG. 18 is a side elevational view of the grill shown in FIG. 17.
FIG. 19 is a plan view taken below the canopy, of the grill shown in FIGS. 17 and 18.
FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional view through an alternative form of corpse-bearing capsule.
FIG. 21 is a longitudinal view through the capsule shown in FIG. 20.
FIG. 22 is a plan view of the capsule.
FIG. 23 is a sectional view through an insulation bed.
FIG. 24 is a sectional view through another form of capsule.
FIG. 25 is a longitudinal sectional view of the capsule shown in FIG. 24.
FIG. 26 is a plan view of the capsule shown in FIG. 24.
Referring intially to FIGS. 1 and 2 there is shown an auditorium chapel or meeting-house 20 of any suitable shape and size and of any suitable materials and construction, and a solar energy collecting and concentrating bowl 22 of hemispherical, parabolic, segmental or other suitable shape, on a suitable framework or other supporting base 23 either enclosed by suitable screen-walling such as 24 as shown, but which could be left open and exposed to view.
Also shown is a movable conveyor, hoist, or gantry 25 for carrying from over the auditorium 20 to the variable focal point of the bowl 22, a cremation grid and/or capsule 26, and there tracking manually or automatically in known manner the movement of the sun. Alongside or attached to the gantry 25 are shown various supply and return lines 27, flexible or rigid, for supplying auxiliary fuel such as gas or oil, and oxygen and/or fresh air to promote and expedite combustion to the capsule 26, for the incineration of its contents, and for returning the gaseous and/or liquid products of oxidation and/or combustion of said contents to a plant-room 28 containing all necessary supplies and suitable equipment including purifying and deodorizing baths, and supplied with a suitable chimney 29, vents, windows, etc. Adjacent to the plant-room 28 are shown a general service and workshop area 30, storage room 31 for coffins etc., and the cremation control room 32. Additional rooms, washrooms, services, and the like including one or more conventional cremation retacts may be added as required, in any suitable construction.
Adjacent to the above rooms is a roof 33 preferred as shown of circular shape and made of clear or translucent glass or plastic, on suitable framework or frameless, but which may alternatively be tinted obscured or solid and of a shape other than circular. This roof 33 may also be removable or omitted altogether in favor of the clear open sky, as may be preferred. Stairs 34 and elevator 35 are shown.
The following features are also shown on the section through the auditorium 20: suitable seating areas 37, a movable platform 38 or altar of any suitable material preferred as shown in circular shape, but which may be of any other desired and/or suitable shape, with or without sliding gear or rails (not shown) to receive a corpse 39 with or without an enclosing coffin, and operated in a vertical direction by any suitable number of elevating cables or rods 40, or alternatively by one or more hydraulic hoist column(s) 41, shown dotted.
The function of the platform 38 is to serve as an altar and/or catafalque for the corpse 39 during any desired ceremony and/or valediction, and thereafter to raise it to roof-level. It should be noted that the dramatic effect of the disappearance from view of the corpse will be enhanced by the closing of the circular roof-light, symbolizing death as "the light going out". At roof-level of the auditorium 20 the corpse, with or without coffin, is placed on or in the grid or capsule 26 which is then swung over by means of the gantry 25 and raised or lowered thereby into the focal point of the solar bowl 22 for cremation. It should be noted that the capsule 26 will also be provided with lines 27 for fuel such as gas or oil for auxiliary burners for expediting the cremation in the event of inclement weather, pressure of bookings, and so forth, and also for fresh air and/or oxygen, and for return of the products of combustion (gaseous and/or liquid) for further treatment at room 28. An alternative inclined route 36 of the corpse through auditorium roof (or upper walls) to service area is shown (FIG. 1).
Referring now to FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, these show sections and plan of capsule 26 for containing corpse 39, with or without a coffin, and served with the various supply and return lines 27 for the purposes already described. The corpse 39 may rest on a grillwork support grid 42 of metal, ceramic, or other suitable material either with or without a suitable sliding mechanism for the easy insertion and/or withdrawal of the corpse 39 through the access door 43 which is to be provided with suitable heat-resistant sealant cushioning and/or rebates. Under the grillwork grid 42 is located a removable tray 44 for the collection and subsequent removal of all non-gaseous products of combustion. The capsule 26, which may be suspended by means of a suitable bracket 45 from the gantry 25 may be of metal, ceramic, or other heat-resistant material, with or without insulation, of the shape shown or of any other suitable shape, and is intended in a preferred embodiment to be sealed during the cremation process to avoid the escape of heat and of undesirable odors. In a preferred embodiment it is intended that the upper half of the capsule 26 is to be insulated and/or heat-reflective, while the lower half is to be heat-absorbent and non-insulated in order to receive and transmit heat radiated from solar bowl 22.
The capsule 26 may be detatchable from the gantry bracket 45, or the bracket itself may be detatchable from the gantry, since in practice, it is intended to provide three or more capsules 26 in order to permit concurrent preparation, cremation, and cleaning of the capsules 26, either in service area 30 or on other available flat roof areas over the auditorium 20, in the interests of rapid turnover.
After cremation, the gantry 25 may swing the capsule 26 over to the work areas described above where, after either natural or induced cooling thereof, bones can be pulverised either manually or mechanically and the ashes collated and/or compressed into a suitable urn or other container for presentation to the next of kin of the deceased and/or for interment in columbaria which may be provided inside and/or outside the auditorium 20, and for which a multiplicity of systems and details is possible.
FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 show an open grill 46 of metal, ceramic or other suitable material with suitable supports 47 for the attachment (removable) to gantry bracket 45 instead of capsule 26. The grill 46 is to carry an exposed or shrouded corpse 48 (i.e. without coffin) and underneath it is attached with suitable hooks 49, and an oven-glass or metal (or a combination of these or other suitable materials) removable drip and ash collector tray 50. It is intended that this type of open grill (i.e. without coffin or sealed capsule) should be used in those countries such as India, where open cremation on burning-ghats is traditional and exception not taken to the sight, sound and smell of cremation. Under such circumstances, or in Western communities where the cremation may be separated from the auditorium and/or remote from public or residential areas, the collection tray 50 may be omitted, since the cremation process will be expedited by this. The design of the solar bowl in such circumstances can be such as to leave an aperture in its base sections for the dripping and/or collection of the products (solid) of combustion conveniently at ground level.
A temperature of about 1,700� F. is required to provide incineration and a total of about 3,000,000 BTU's is required to consume a corpse. Thus, at a supply rate of about 1,000,000 BTU/hour, cremation would take about three hours. A concave mirror-reflector bowl similar to the steam-producing Crosbyton hemisphere in Lubbock, Texas is considered a suitable collector. At 65 ft. diameter, a bowl of this type can produce approximately 1,000,000 BTU/Hr. under full sunshine conditions from mid-morning to mid-afternoon.
Referring now to FIG. 9, this shows a preferred architechtural treatment for a crematorium of the type previously described, while FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 show for illustrative purposes two of an infinite number of possible alternative architectural treatments of the basic preferred embodiment illustrated in the other drawings. It should also be noted that the solar bowl may be located over the auditorium, or laterally remote from it, or recessed into the ground, as may also be the auditorium.
Referring now to FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, these show a variant of the invention having a fixed focal point 51 for the cremation of corpse C (which may be capsule or coffin contained, or may be exposed), in combination with movable variable-focus sun-tracking reflectors 52, as an alternative to the fixed-bowl and sun-tracking gantry 25 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Again in this embodiment, the corpse may be elevated through the roof of auditorium 20 and suitably transferred to point 51.
Referring to FIGS. 14 and 15, these show another variant of the invention wherein the heat rays of the sun are concentrated by Fresnel or other type lenses 53 located over the corpse C which may be exposed or in a coffin or capsule, as previously. In this variant either the item being cremated may move in the directions shown by the arrows 54 to track the sun, or alternatively the lenses 53 can move to track the sun as shown by the dotted lines 55. It should be noted that in this variant the lenses need not necessarily be in a domed structure as drawn, but may be laid flat or in various other arrangements owing to the ray-bending properties of the Fresnel-type lenses. The drawings of this variant show another architectural variant design for an auditorium 56, with no opening through the roof, but with all necessary seating and ancillary and service rooms. In this variant the corpse is moved horizontally out of the auditorium to the point of cremation and this embodiment therefore foregoes the dramatic and psychological advantages of the hoisting upwards of the corpse featured in the other variants. However, an offsetting advantage is the easy and smooth conveyance of the corpse by rail or rails 57 from its position 58 in the auditorium 56 to the focal point 59 under the lenses 53. Also advantageous is the fact that the whole system may be operated manually in the event of a power failure. In view of the enclosed nature of this variant the use of a sealed capsule is optional, as the gaseous by-products of combustion would be retained by the enclosure of lenses. It might however be found to be more advantageous to have openings and airspaces between the lenses in which case a sealed capsule such as capsule 26 may be used.
It should be noted also that the equipment comprising the invention can be used between cremations for the generation of electricity and/or steam power for sale or commercial use, or alternatively that it may form an adjunct to n existing power-generation bowl such as that at Crosbyton, USA, thus permitting the performance of cremations as an interruption of the regular use thereof for the production of commercial power.
It should also be noted that with minor changes the invention may be used for the cremation of the corpses of animals, including pet animals.
Referring now to FIG. 16, this shows another variant of the invention more specifically of the arrangement shown on FIGS. 14 and 15 and described above. In this variant the item C to be cremated is drawn or hoisted up through the roof of the auditorium 20 and moved manually or mechanically to the focal point of a system of Fresnel or other lenses 53 which in this variant are located over rather than alongside the auditorium, thereby retaining the dramatic and psychological advantages which the arrangement, shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 would have to forego. If a fixed set of lenses are used as shown at 53 this creates an enclosure enabling one to dispense with any other capsule as the gaseous products of combustion can be drawn through a duct 61 by means of a fan or fans 62, thence through a purifying and deodorizing treatment 63 in a work-room 64, and thence dispersed through the chimney 29. The inlet source of the air for combustion would most conveniently be around the perimeter of the platform 38 from the auditorium through suitable slots. The platform 38 would remain at the top in a visually closed position during the cremation. If pivoting lenses 55 are used or if for any other reason the structure over the item C for cremation is not of an enclosed or sealed nature, then either a sealed capsule such as that detailed in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 may be used or, in countries where this is found to be acceptable aesthetically, a completely open grill such as that detailed in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 may be used.
Referring now to FIGS. 17, 18 and 19, these show an open grill of which items 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, and 50 are similar to the items shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, but shown in addition are a canopy 65 of sheet metal or any other suitable material, a flexible or articulated duct 66 of any suitable material, and an exhaust fan 67 or fans for the conveyance of the gaseous products of combustion to a suitable purifying and deodorizing plant and chimney such as earlier described. Also shown are a supply line 68 and pipe manifold 69, the latter having burner-nozzle jets 70 for auxiliary and/or alternative cremation whenever the available solar energy may be inadequate or absent. As an alternative to the other grill or capsule previously described, this combination of grill and exhaust canopy may be used with any of the variants of the invention except those using overhead lenses (FIGS. 14, 15 and 16), and it offers more rapid and direct cremation than does the capsule 26, while retaining some of the advantages such as the deodorization of the products of combustion. The capsule 26 however retains the advantages of silencing the sounds of the combustion and of obscuring the process from view, in countries where these considerations are viewed as important.
It should be noted that while this has not been shown on FIGS. 6, 7 and 9 for the non-canopied grill, it is obviously the intention that both the open grill (FIGS. 6, 7 and 8) and the grill with canopy (FIGS. 17, 18 and 19) would have lines for fuel such as gas or oil for auxiliary burners for expediting the process of combustion in the event of inclement weather, pressure of bookings, and so forth, just as would the sealed capsule alternative.
It should further be noted that in the cases of lens systems for concentrating the solar energy, the collection trays 50 under the corpse should be solid and reflective rather than transparent or translucent, and that the capsule 26, if used, should have its upper half dark and absorbent, and its lower half reflective, rather than the other way round as previously described for use with bowl or other concentrating systems where the radiated energy comes from below.
FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional view through an alternative form of corpse-bearing capsule, wherein insulation 71 of a suitable heat-resisting material and of a suitable thickness is added to the upper half of the capsule 26 shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, when said capsule is used with a reflected solar heat source from below. The said insulation is also to remain in position during the use of any auxiliary fuel to promote combustion.
FIG. 21 is a longitudinal section through the capsule shown in FIG. 20 but showing in addition insulation 71 on the capsule's fixed end 72 and on its door 73, which latter items are shown flat on this variant rather than dome-shaped as hitherto.
FIG. 23 is a section through an insulation bed 74 made of insulation as described above, to run the same length as the capsule 26 (here shown dotted) and to receive same whenever auxiliary partial or total cremation by means of gas, oil or electricity is to be performed. The insulation bed 74 is carried in a supporting cradle 75 of any suitable heavy, medium, or lightweight material and construction, and which may be either movable or fixed.
FIGS. 24, 25 and 26 illustrate a further variant of the capsule in accordance with the invention wherein insulation 71 as described above is added to the lower half of the capsule 26 shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, when the capsule is used under an overhead lenticular solar or other heat source. The capsule is seated in a movable supporting cradle 76 of any suitable light or medium weight material and construction, on runners or wheels 77 to facilitate movement to the focal point of the Fresnel or other lens system or other overhead heat source, such as 53, shown on FIGS. 14, 15 and 16. The insulation shown between the capsule 26 and the cradle 76 may be attached to either one of these items, but the latter is considered more convenient.
Supported from a suitable gantry-bracket 45 or by any other convenient means a movable cap 78 made out of or incorporating insulation 71, as described above, may be lowered over and onto the capsule 26 whenever auxiliary partial or total cremation by means of gas, oil o electricity is to be performed.
It should be noted that the capsule 26 need not necessarily be circular in section as shown on the drawings throughout, but may be flat-bottomed (to prevent rolling), oval in section, or square, rectangular, hexagonal, octagonal, or any other desired shape.
It should also be noted that one or more laser ray systems may be used as an auxiliary means of cremation, or for the total cremation process, in lieu of or together with solar energy, gas, oil, or electricity.
Further, in all of the variants described above, one or more standard, commercially available, or other oil, gas or electrically fired crematory retorts or furnaces may be incorporated with the apparatus for standby use, for use in inclement weather, or for increasing the capacity of the crematorium. Such auxilliary devices may be used, as conditions dictate, for partial or complete incineration of a corpse, in combination with the solar cremation equipment, with the one form of equipment being an auxilliary to the other.
While only preferred embodiments of the invention have been described herein in detail, the invention is not limited thereby, and modifications can be made within the scope of the attached claims.

The son of football legend Bobby Moore died after his diabetes "spiralled out of control".
Chef Dean Moore, 43, was found collapsed in his living room after his worried mother Tina could not reach him in July last year.
An inquest heard yesterday recovering alcoholic Dean, of Notting Hill, West London, had a large amount of an acid in his body, produced when it does not have enough glucose. Pathologist Dr Mike Osborn said: "He probably didn't have ideal insulin control."
Westminster coroner Dr Shirley Radcliffe said: "There was an excess amount of acid. His diabetes control was out of control."
Dean's sister Roberta added: "He struggled with his diabetes."
Verdict: natural causes.

Open Letter to Google's Eric Schmidt Requesting HTTPS
Google Mail, Calendar and Docs could be vulnerable. That's the argument an open letter to Google's CEO Eric Schmidt makes, thereby asking him to adopt the HTTPS standard for data transfers for these applications.
The recent new Wireshark traffic sniffer release could have been the catalyst. Now Google's Schmidt has a letter in hand that 38 researchers and academics in the information security and privacy law fields sent him June 16. Their concern is that Google users were unnecessarily vulnerable to theft and snooping and that Google should reconsider its data protection policy.
The open letter specifically targets Google Mail, Docs and Calendar, its popular data transport applications. Technically it's about the use (or, rather, lack of it) of HTTPS, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure encryption standard. Unlike Google Voice, Health, AdSend and AdWords, Google does not protect Docs, Calendar or Gmail user sessions with HTTPS encryption. That could be bad when users connect via open wireless networks in schools, libraries and coffee shops. Packet sniffers such as Wireshark can help attackers, even unsophisticated ones, capture entire data traffic and passwords, thus private information.
HTTPS was developed specifically to protect against this, but Google has disabled it by default for the aforementioned applications. Many users are unaware of the "Settings/General/Browser Connection/Always use HTTPS" option (last of thirteen) in Gmail, not understanding the difference between the usual HTTP and the more secure HTTPS. Moreover, many users may not notice when their HTTPS transactions fall back to HTTP during a session. Nor does Google do as good a job as it could of informing users of the risks involved, with a warning currently buried layers deep in the help. Moreover, Docs and Calendar are missing encryption settings entirely.
The letter's recommendation comes down to strongly urging Google to "follow the lead of the financial industry and enable HTTP encryption by default" for its applications. Rather than have users "opt in," they should give them the choice to "opt out." The letter appeals to Google in its prominent role in cloud services to set the industry standard.
Google was quick to respond. In a GoogleOnLineSecurity blog, they restate the company's commitment to security and that it is looking seriously into the HTTPS-by-default option. They want to do a trial in Gmail by moving some users to HTTPS "to see what their experience is" and check any performance issues.

They claim that I have borrowed the aggregate limit for undergrad student. When i checked with my loan provider they told me i borrowed 50, 500 witch brings me to my next problem. They claim that I received 30,000 dollars in stipends checks in a three year period. This is not true my loan provider shows that I only received 13,000. Where did all the extra money go? That's what I'd like to know.
I was told my credits would transfer to any brick and mortar college in Ohio which is where i reside. When I contacted my local colleges only 4 of the 24 classes I took would transfer. There were no equivalents for all the Psychology classes that I took at Argosy. The lure of a private school caught me off guard. I thought I was exceptional being excepted only to find out they take anybody. I had classmates that couldn't spell, and didn't know the difference between there, and their. I never received any grade lower than a B, and towards the end i put maybe 20 minutes in on a 4 or 5 page paper. The professors are a joke they must be told to pass as many students as possible.
I have had financial aid officers call and brow beat me into paying my balances. I am currently on disability and when I asked a supervisor in the financial aid department how am I supposed to pay back all this money with no degree she informed me that I should have thought about going to school and my disability before I enrolled. I was told i was immature, irresponsible and to borrow the money from family members to pay back the school. They took money directly out of my checking account after these threats I ignored. There was what I will call an "investigation" into who took it out from the school but no disciplinary action was taken. My money was returned to my account, but I had proof that the ip adress and physical address the computer was registered at came from the school.
On of the most frustrating things is they took me for all my money the sucked my loans try and then spit me out without any degree to show for my three years of hard work and here I sit on disability with no ability to have any earning power and no ability to find a job in the field of work I was hopping to go into.
I have exhausted all my financial resources and do not know where to turn. If anyone has this same problem or any other problems please contact me. I think legal action needs to be taken against the school for the hell they have put students through.

In mid July I worked on a roofing job in West Berlin, NJ for WRIGHT CONSTRUCTION. I even personally had a dumpster delivered to the job. I was wondering why he wouldn't call it in himself. But being the good person I am, I call in a 20 yard dumpster for HIS job. He paid the $500 up front and like usual it was over filled by 2 tons. Leaving me with a $200 bill. ON TOP OF THE $400 HE OWES ME FOR WORK! I drove by the job and there is another dumpster there. What does that mean? He billed the home owner for my dumpsters overweight, Didnt pay it off, Kept the money and ordered a new dumpster from a different company. Honest business man right? A JOKE!
I let 4 weeks go by and got nothing but the run around. Now he's ignoring me so Im forced to take him to court. Hopefully this wont happen to you
