"We'll kick off with a new one from the Lower 48 from their fine new six-song EP, which will be released on August 16 at the band's show at the Doug Fir. The 100-percent-terrific "That's What I'll Say" is a slice of perfect pop, complete with kaleidoscopic swirls of sunshine and Beatlesesque harmonies—not to mention that it straight-up rocks. This is what a perfect summer jam sounds like—download a hi-res MP3 of it here and rock it over and over."
"Inspired by 60s Rock and Pop, this Portland trio features harmonies and lyricism of an era fondly remembered. With a killer male-female vocal combination (Ben Braden and Sarah Parson) and Nick Sadler behind the kit, the band aims for expanding their sound with new instrumental elements. After a few minor tweaks to the line-up and nearly a complete overhaul of their sound, these young twenty-something and pop rock'n'roll all the way. Their latest single "Setting Sun" was just released last month and I highly recommend you check it out via their Bandcamp. Don't be surprised if you hit repeat a couple times-the Beatlesque track is just a taste of what's to come later this year when the band plans to release a new album."
"If you're feeling like you need to see more local live music, you're right—so put yourself in front of the Lower 48, whose live shows have evolved from strummy folk into fiery rock showdowns."
"The trio epitomizes what we love about independent music; they are entertaining, rambling, and clearly love making music together. They struggled to describe their sound, finally settling on calling it "60's inspired rock & roll" ... Maybe the only way to classify the music is to listen to it. From the opening song, the trio filled the room with their uniquely simple tunes that showed off a talent for crafting catchy harmonies that bring you back to simpler, youthful days, and it's Parson's haunting croon that sets the band apart from the rest."
"... These kids have the chops and curiosity to make an impression, so I'm looking forward to hearing where they journey to next."
"... The set was almost entirely new, previously unreleased songs; putting much of the focus on the band's new pop-influenced direction. Early on I couldn't help but notice how encompassing the band's sound was. ... It was full, high energy, and hard to believe only three people on a guitar, bass, and drum kit were creating it. With that, each member of the band knows how to command each of their instruments. Sarah Parson helmed the electric guitar for most the night, Ben Braden held down the bass, and Nick sparkled behind the drums and whatever additional instruments would be needed. He skillfully multi-tasked the harmonica for a handful of songs while not missing a beat on the drums ... From seeing their set and then meeting the members after the show, it's evident that The Lower 48 are a very committed band. They live for their music and they are going to do whatever it takes so it can be heard. And from what I've heard so far, they are definitely on the right path to bigge"
"The Lower 48 have a new song as well; the fantastic "Setting Sun" demonstrates the sheer tunefulness of this Portland trio, a sloping, shuffling, almost Beatlesque track (with brass!) that demands repeat listens."

Differences in circulating dendritic cell subtypes in cord blood and peripheral blood of healthy and allergic children
W. J. Stevens, Department of Immunology, University of Antwerp, Universiteitsplein 1, 2610 Antwerpen, Belgium. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Background Different types of circulating dendritic cells have been described. Dendritic cells influence differentiation of naive T lymphocytes into T helper type 1 (Th1) and Th2 effector cells.
Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the number of circulating DC subtypes in peripheral blood of allergic and healthy children and in cord blood of neonates from allergic and non-allergic parents.
Methods Circulating dendritic cells were flow cytometrically identified in whole blood samples as lineage (CD3, CD14, CD16, CD19, CD20, CD56) negative, CD34 negative and HLA-DR-positive cells. According to the expression of CD123 and CD11c, different DC subtypes were identified.
Results Apart from DC1 (CD11c+ CD123dim+) and DC2 (CD11c– CD123high+), a third DC population was described with less differentiated phenotypic characteristics, namely CD11c– CD123dim+, and therefore defined here as less differentiated DC (ldDC). These ldDC represented the major DC population in cord blood and showed an age-depended decrease. The highest level of ldDC was detected in children with atopic dermatitis, whereas asthmatic children showed the lowest ldDC counts. Furthermore, high-dose inhaled corticosteroid treatment in asthmatic children was related to a decreased ldDC number. The number of circulating DC2 was significantly lower in allergic children, especially in asthmatics, compared to healthy children. In cord blood, no differences in DC subtypes were detectable between neonates at low and high risk for allergic disorders.
Conclusion These results indicate that, apart from DC1 and DC2, a third population of dendritic cells, identified as CD11c– CD123dim+ cells and defined as less differentiated DC, must be considered in the evaluation of circulating DC. Furthermore, DC2 counts were decreased in allergic children, especially in asthmatics, which might be the consequence of an increased recruitment to the target organs.

Thoroughbred racing has been Anne Russek's career and passion since she was a teenager. She started hot-walking horses at the Monmouth Park track in New Jersey at age 16 for Warren "Jimmy" Croll.
Before long she was galloping horses, and soon she married Croll's son Bill.
"When Bill and I divorced, I'd been the assistant trainer in the family operation. So I went out on my own. I got remarried and moved to Virginia. I still have my trainer's license, and we race our own homebreds," said Russek.

County partners with Ravens defensive lineman Brandon Williams to protect animals
- TV and online ads promote pet adoption and spay/neuter services
Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman Brandon Williams is known as a tough, hard-hitting rival within the NFL, but bring him a kitten or a cute dog and he's all cuddles and playtime.
An animal lover through and through, Brandon was delighted to help Baltimore County Animal Services (BCAS) encourage people to open their hearts to homeless cats and dogs and to take advantage of low-cost vaccinations and spay/neuter services offered by the County.
Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz announced today the launch of a new public service outreach campaign called, "Not Always a Tough Guy," which features the six-foot-one, 335-pound Brandon nuzzling an armload of kittens and giving a playful pit bull a big smooch on the forehead. Brandon comments in the ad, "Even tough guys get their pets spayed and neutered."
"We are so pleased that Brandon stepped up to lend his support and star power to help us get the word out about our great success story with our Animal Services team and their services for pets," Kamenetz said. The County recently revamped its Animal Services' programs and approach, including completing a new $6.6 million, 22,400 square-foot animal shelter in Baldwin. The new facility doubles the space and provides a modern facility for the animals and animal adopters. This has resulted in an historic drop in the number of animals being euthanized.
"I am grateful to Brandon for helping us get the word out about the animal services we offer in Baltimore County," said Baltimore County Director of Health and Human Services Dr. Gregory Wm. Branch. "From a public health perspective, educating residents on the importance of spaying and neutering their cats and dogs is vital to reducing overpopulation and the spread of diseases."
"Brandon was absolutely great to work with, he was excited about the facility and loved interacting with the animals," said Animal Services Director Melissa Jones, V.M.D. "We really appreciate his partnering with us as something of a celebrity ambassador for Animal Services."Thu, 29 Sep 2016 18:49:00 GMThttp://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/News/BaltimoreCountyNow/county-partners-with-ravens-defensive-lineman-brandon-williams-to-protect-animals
Update: County crews stop sanitary sewer overflow in Cockeysville
Update: Water contact advisory continues for Beaver Dam Run and tributary
Update: The September 27 sanitary sewer overflows on Beaver Dam and Ashland Roads were caused by the failure of a temporary sewer pipe employed as part of Baltimore County's ongoing sewer inspection and maintenance program. An estimated 950,000 gallons was intermittently released at both the site of the break and at a manhole south of Ashland Road near Western Run.
Original press release issued on 9/28/16:
At approximately 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, September 27, County utility workers discovered a break in a temporary sewer pipeline just north of Padonia Road. Equipment and construction material were brought to the site and repairs began Tuesday to address the sanitary overflow, which was halted Wednesday morning at approximately 11 a.m. The volume of discharge as a result of the broken line has not yet been determined, but is expected to be significant.
Several intermittent sanitary sewer overflows, resulting from the single pipe failure, occurred at two sites: the site of the break itself on Beaver Dam Road, just north of Padonia and near a tributary to Beaver Dam Run, and a site south of Ashland Road between York Road and Western Run. The overflow near Ashland Road occurred as a necessary part of the process to repair the line at Beaver Dam Road.
The public is advised to avoid contact with the water. The Baltimore County Department of Health is monitoring water quality in Beaver Dam Run and the tributary and has issued a water contact advisory and will update the situation as needed on their website:
Further details on the cause of the overflow and the total volume of discharge will be published as they become available.Wed, 28 Sep 2016 20:43:00 GMThttp://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/News/BaltimoreCountyNow/county-crews-stops-sanitary-sewer-overflow-in-cockeysville

Glad to see you posting here again, Richard Stallman.
Glad to see you posting here again, Richard Stallman.
Except copyright only protects...copying verbatim or making derivative copies, still significantly like the original text/work.
Not really true in that respect. It protects all sorts of things, even compilations of works that might be copyrighted by others, but the compilation itself is copyrighted (e.g. the books Brad Templeton made by publishing jokes from rec.humor.funny). It doesn't have to be a verbatim copy, but derive a significant portion of its value from some copyrighted work. In fact, in the UK there was a judgement against someone who merely duplicated a style of photograph, found infringing due to having a history of actual copyright infringement. [I mostly disagree with this ruling, btw, but again copyright isn't strictly verbatim copies.]
The argument is that far fewer people will release their creative projects to the world without some form of protection, so it was coded into the US Constitution and subsequent treaties. Consider making something cool, then someone rich simply stealing the idea and capitalizing it through distribution channels while you reap nothing for your original creative idea. This has happened, and even happens today occasionally.
Basically, works based in fictional universes are copyrighted by the holder of the fictional universe, and such works are considered derivative because a large amount of their value (e.g. recognizability) are from the fictional universe or characters. There are certainly intentional exceptions such as parody where you make fun of the universe or the characters, and that's why sketch comedy like SNL has an ironclad protection to create their humor.
If one does not protect their IP then that opens up the door for your competitors to use your IP.
You're thinking of trademarks, not copyright. The Star Trek universe, and the characters, are copyrighted even if someone else writes a script using those characters. The copyright holder can selectively choose to prosecute all or none of the violators at his whim.
Certain copyright violations cannot be prosecuted, such as Fair Use. But it's very unlikely fan fiction can fall under fair use, although that has yet to be seen. I believe Star Trek Continues is trying to use that defense as they are non profit and claim their usage is educational (which usually does fall under Fair Use). This is a weak shield, but they also are not harming the franchise so it will likely be overlooked anyway.
"See a lot of post ignorant of the law."
The fundraising issue really bothers me. I know that Star Trek Continues had done some fundraising and was producing 45m episodes that were excellent. The production value was amazing, and they recreated parts of the set that were very convincing.
This may shut that down, without special dispensation from cbs/p.
Does anyone remember the days when the comment threads for SlashDot used to actually contain highly relevant and thoughtful discussion?
5-digit uid checking in. But neither statement above provided any evidence, and the OP being an AC, less credibility.
And 4 years later all the machines will crash when the date flips on their microvax servers.
However I don't think the law should create monopolies in the first place.
Without a monopoly, art will dry up. The purpose of copyright is to protect the artist from exactly what just happened. If that protection is lost, or blatant violations are not prosecutable, artists will stop releasing their work.
Regardless whether you believe he wouldn't have had the incentive is immaterial. He created the work, not the hotel, and the hotel not only abused their usage limitations, they insulted him in the offer to compensate.
Whenever you use a piece of art, you need to know whether you have the rights to use it. That burden is on that party using the work. So, yes, you actually are liable for copyright infringement, whether or not you think it was legal or not. Otherwise, it would lead to leaks that were unprosecutable and everyone would just claim they didn't know. But if it's a creative work of any kind, you should know that it's copyrighted... because all works are copyrighted by treaty. Whenever you copy/use a piece of art from anywhere, the default is that you're probably pirating it unless you're certain you're not. Whenever I use artwork, I also save the license agreement somewhere including screenshots and addresses allowing use.
Your logic is debatable -- and that last sentence should be taken out back and whipped behind the shed.
But it seems dubious to sell short-term licenses for photographs - I've never even heard of that as a thing, and have no idea why anyone would agree to that.
This is a standard commercial license, and you haven't heard of it because you are not a professional photographer or need their services. Most commercial photography does not include the copyright, rather a license to use that copyright for a period of time and specific uses. People violate it all the time, and usually this is simple enough (and inexpensive enough) to deal with.
But TFA implied the hotel didn't care they pirated his work and offered a trivial sum for the excessive violation. The moment they exceeded the usage limits, they were violating copyright.
Consider lending someone your car to drive 100 miles. They return the car with 10,000 miles on it. You complain, and they offer to pay you for another 100 miles. That's not what the agreement was, and they made an insulting offer to compensate for it.
The hotel breached the contract and the copyright. In the US, that will result in treble damages of the value and use, plus potentially more due to the contract.
Whether it's worth $2M or not is debatable. But this absolutely isn't what the summary implied, that the "photographer is lazy" or something. No, he's quite serious about his work being appropriately compensated and not pirated. This is being pirated, and being used for marketing, and so on an so forth.
Most commercial contracts are written with a limited use. This photographer could not subsequently be selling this work of art, and if you look at the likes of Peter Lik (spell that correctly if you google it), the image sales alone could be worth more than $2M.
The summary implied that the hotel was inconvenienced in order for the photographer to make this image, yet he could've easily rented out the room. However, the hotel could not have easily made the shot themselves. That's insulting to professional photographers everywhere. They actually do more than just push a button.
5-10 years ago it also would've been more significant.
It wasn't that long ago where chess was able to beat a master.
PS: 5 digit uid.
Apple is being compelled to create speech in violation of the first amendment. It's not an issue of if they can do it. Unlike previous cases such as the Elayne Photography case when a photographer asserted first amendment rights against photographing a wedding where the couple was gay, the photographer hung out her shingle as a business for photographing weddings. Gays are protected in the state where this happened.
In this case, Apple is in the business of selling iphones, not selling custom firmware for iphones. They can't restrict sale from gays, for example, but forcing them to create custom firmware for random customers is not their business. Not to mention, the FBI isn't exactly a protected class, nor is apple refusing based on the fact they're FBI. They're refusing because they won't do it for anyone.
There were other cases where a 1st amendment defense wouldn't work, such as lavabit where they were handed a piece of equipment and ordered to install it.
Besides an NDA and security policy, you can ship them all encrypted laptops. Disable the USB connectors and external data connectors (physically, with epoxy) except maybe a single encrypted keyboard/mouse device like a logitech unified transceiver glued into one port, and only allow vpn into your systems to run executables. Also install gps tracking software in case of loss.
If you have them work on site, that's not cheap. It sounds like you're in the HST business, and that means probably based in NYC, and that means floorspace is a premium. On site work would cost a minimum of $50-100k/yr per contractor.... those contractors would much rather get an extra $45k per year and work from their own office on a $5k super laptop + keyboard + dual monitors, saving you a ton of money per person and making them happy. Have them pay for their own network, and do remote backups every night.
The virtual lack of slippery slope votes is why we can't have nice things.
It really immaterial what the estimates of gifts were. In 2012, the FAA was ordered to have regulations in place by september 2015, to handle commercial UAS. They were explicitly prohibited from regulating hobby drones. UAS tech was blossoming, and the FAA knew this long ago.
In Sept 2015, they updated their AC-91 57, which had to do with hobby UAS. They had been running some tests for commercial flights, handing out occasional section 333 exceptions to movie industries and others.
In Nov 2015, they got feedback that this year's sales were expected to be around 1M+. Fearing what you stated, dumb people flying drones into manned aircraft, they cobbled together a site incredibly quickly requiring registration of all aircraft. They loosely, and wrongly, interpreted the law stating that they may not promulgate restrictions or regulations that affect any hobby or recreational UAS, to read that they may not promulgate rules that affect only hobby or recreational UAS. Despite having 3 years to see this and come up with regulations, they bypassed the mandatory 60 days of public comment stating that it was an emergency situation (caused by their own inaction, which case law has shown cannot be used as an excuse to consider it an emergency).
They are now requiring everyone 13 years old and up to publicly register their names and addresses. In a searchable database, publicly accessible. Failure to do this carries up to a 3 year jail sentence and $25,000 fine. This is the potential penalty for little johnny flying a drone at TWO INCHES above ground level in his own back yard. No joke, the FAA has asserted control from the top of a blade of grass (their words) to the top of the atmosphere. If a neighbor complains about little johnny in his back yard playing with a helicopter that looks like it weights more than 500g, a federal cop has probable cause.
The FAA had orders to have this in place 3 years ago, and failed. Based on that failure, they're claiming an emergency gives them rights to break the law and forgo public comment. The estimates for drone gifts don't matter... the FAA was given 3 years to solve this before it became an issue. Now they are breaking the law that literally requires an act of congress to reverse. (See section 336 which prohibits them from regulating hobby craft.)
There were so many other ways they could have handled this correctly. They could have requested hobby drone manufacturers enclose a copy of AC-91 57 in their packaging. They could have petitioned congress to change the law, allowing some regulation of hobby drones. They could have made a system that didn't allow searching for names and addresses of minors. They could have asked drone manufacturers to, by default, activate geofencing (but not require it). I'm sure there are other even better ways to handle this, too.
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.

Practice areas & skills: Appeals
If you file a lawsuit and lose the case, you can appeal the decision to the next highest court, which is called the appellate court. Appellate lawyers often specialize in arguing appeals; that is, they specialize in arguing why the decision of the lower court was wrong (or why it was right, for the party that won). Appellate attorneys specialize in appeals because they understand the specific and detailed rules that must be followed. It is possible to lose an appeal on technicalities, even when the law is on your side. If you want to appeal the outcome of the trial court, or if you need to argue against another person's appeal, you should work with an appellate attorney.

It's Gameday! The Aggie volleyball and football teams are back in action and both are looking to reverse course after losing against bitter rivals. The Aggie football team is actually looking to reverse a three game losing streak that includes back to back losses to rivals, 41-28 at UTEP and a very disappointing 27-14 loss at home against New Mexico this past Saturday.
Aggie volleyball meanwhile will look to bounce back after an ultra-rare rivalry loss to UTEP on Wednesday night. The Aggies lost to the Miners for the first time in 14 meetings, a streak dating back to 2004.
For the volleyball team a win would keep them atop the WAC standings where they currently sit alone with a 4-0 record. Utah State and UT San Antonio sit just behind the Aggies at 4-1 and 3-1 respectively with USU at UT Arlington and UTSA at Idaho.
The Aggies are hosting Denver, an old conference foe who is now a new conference foe. The two teams squared off back in the Sun Belt. The Aggies have won eight in a row in the series but the two teams have not faced each other since 2004.
Denver is led by junior opposite Colleen King leads the Pioneers with 139 kills through 14 matches, averaging 2.84 kills per set. She is one of four Pioneers to average at least two kills per set. The Pioneers are also a very good blocking team averaging 2.72 blocks per set with middle blocker Faimie Kingsley leading the way.
The Aggies will definitely need to bring their 'A' game to the court today against the Pioneers.
First serve is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. (MDT) and can be heard on KSNM AM 570 in Las Cruces and streaming online via Aggie Access (subscription required) with new play-by-play man Jay Sanderson calling the action.
The Aggie football team will take the field at 6:00 p.m. (MDT) against first year WAC foe UT San Antonio. This is a tale of two teams, two programs that are seemingly on different trajectories. The Aggies have been playing football for over 100 years and yet have not seen much success since 1960 (the team's last bowl win). UTSA has been playing football for just 14 games (just a little over a season and a third) and yet comes into the game riding a wave of confidence and a five game win streak dating back to last year. The Aggies are on a three game losing streak and are doing some serious soul searching after last week's loss to a not-very-good UNM club.
Other dissimilarities include the two programs' futures. The Aggies have no conference after this year while UTSA is bound for Conference USA after just one season in the WAC.
In reality this is a statement game for the Aggies moreso than UTSA. This is a game that the Aggies need to come out and prove to everyone that they are better than they've been showing and also that they're better than a team that's just 14 games into its existence. The Aggies would also like to avoid being a historical footnote -- i.e. UTSA's first conference victory and first victory over a full-fledged FBS team (South Alabama, UTSA's first win this year, is in their first year of FBS status).
So what do the Aggies need to do to avoid another loss? First and foremost the Aggies need to be aggressive. We really thought that last week the Aggies played tentatively and passively on offense. They didn't attack a secondary which came in with several injuries to key players. Their defense played soft coverage on wide receivers which for the second straight week proved to be a strategy that the opposition was more than willing to take advantage of.
Second, the Aggies absolutely have to cut down on the self-inflicted mistakes. Penalties and turnovers have killed the Aggies in their three losses to Ohio, UTEP and New Mexico. Against Ohio it was an Andrew Manley pick-six that got the downward spiral started. Against UTEP, Manley threw an interception on the very first drive and against UNM it was a pair of fumbles on drives that very much looked like they would result in touchdowns. For all the competitiveness that the Aggies have shown over the last couple of seasons, this is still not a team that is good enough to overcome its own mistakes and still win.
UTSA presents a unique challenge in that it's hard to gauge just how good this team really is. The majority of their victories have come against lesser competition and yet at the same time, a win is a win. The Roadrunners present multiple problems for the Aggies on offense. They are the very definition of a balanced offense averaging right around 200 yards per game through the air as well as 200 yards per game on the ground. And to say that the Roadrunners like to spread the ball around would be a ginormous understatement. Fifteen different UTSA players have caught a pass this season and of those 15, seven of them have caught a touchdown pass. In fact, no Roadrunner player has more than one touchdown catch. There is literally no way to know which player to target. It will be a huge task for a shaky Aggie secondary. And then there's the ground component. We've been told that the Roadrunners run some option. That will be an issue. The Aggies have not fared well against teams that run any variation of the option nor have they been particularly successful against mobile quarterbacks (see Nevada's Colin Kaepernick and Utah State's Chuckie Keeton as examples).
Defensively, Coach Walker has said that UTSA is pretty vanilla, however, they are well coached and fundamentally sound. Once again, it would stand to reason that the Aggies have a matchup advantage at wide receiver. The Aggies really need to exploit that advantage. We'd also love to see more involvement of the tight ends Perris Scoggins and our favorite, Trevor Walls. The Aggies got both invoiced on the touchdown drive in the first half against UNM but that has been the extend of their involvement in the offense this season. The duo has five catches this season, four of them came in the game last week.
The Aggie ground game also needs to get "ungrounded". We hope to see much more of Tiger Powell in the game tomorrow. We really feel like he's the Aggies' best shot at establishing a strong run game. He got just one touch last game but had been starting to run with some confidence, particularly in the first half against Ohio. If the Aggies are going to be insistent on trying to establish a power run game (between the tackles) then it would behoove them to use the running back who looks like a small offensive lineman. If Powell can get some tough yards on the ground then that might open things up for the Aggies' quicker, shiftier backs, Germi Morrison, Akeelie Mustafa and Robert Clay.
These next two games against UTSA and Idaho represent the Aggies' best chances for wins the remainder of the season (save for the final game of the year against Texas State). If they can win today they can head to Idaho with a little bit of confidence and have a shot at entering the middle of the season at .500. However, if they lose today, not only will they have lost four straight heading into Idaho, they will have lost back-to-back games against teams that heading into the year, should have (at least on paper) been able to be marked down as "W's."
The first ten minutes of this game are critical. If the Aggies win the coin toss and take the ball first, we want to see them attack the Roadrunners through the air. Take an early shot deep down the field. Test their coverage and in particular see how they're going to defend Austin Franklin. On defense, what we don't want to see is the Aggie secondary playing 10 to 12 yards off the receivers. It would be a big mistake for them to do that, particularly against a team that has shown no hesitation in spreading the ball around. They're already going to find the open receiver, don't make it easy on them by giving them a six to eight yard head start off the line of scrimmage.
After a rough couple of weeks thanks to a pair of rivalry losses, we think the Aggies will rebound, make the necessary adjustments and just simply start playing to their potential.
We're predicting a 35-17 victory for the Aggies in this game. Unfortunately, our predictions over the last two weeks have been horrendously wrong. Hopefully the Aggies will make us (and themselves) look good today.
Game time is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. (MDT) and can be seen on AggieVision as well as streaming online on ESPN3.com and can be heard over the airwaves on the Aggie Sports Network and streaming online via Aggie Access (subscription required).

UK Next Working Day delivery available if ordered before 3pm. Deliveries are made Monday to Friday, excludes Bank Holidays. Saturday delivery also available if ordered before 1pm Friday.
Looking for a protective, stylish and lightweight helmet that you can wear all year round and that will not break the bank? You may have just found what you are looking for in the MET Forte Road Helmet. At just 245 grams in the medium size, the Forte offers protection and cooling venting that is ideal for everything from the daily commute or taking on an Alpine climb.
This low weight and top safety rating is maintained using MET's In-Mould Fusion technology. This system fuses in an internal matrix to the two parts of the helmet's construction; the interior polystyrene and the external polycarbonate layers. This technique allows the force of impacts to be spread over a wider surface area, thus reducing the threat of potentially life threatening crashes.
Ensuring the Forte is fitted comfortably and securely to your head is the Safe-T Duo retention system. This system offers vertical and horizontal adjustment with a 360˚ retention ring that fits around the entire circumference of the head to provide an all-encompassing fit.
The Cocoon padding system increases the surface area contact between the helmet and your head, which decreases surface tension and pressure-point build up.
Size Guide:
Please note: Helmets that are sold on Sigmasport.co.uk are certified with a European CE EN1078 standard. Specific countries may have their own certification, which is legally required. Please check your specific country requirements and check with the manufacturer to see if the helmet has received any additional certification.

Focus: Platforms
The topic "platforms" is almost as broad as "computers" because anything upon which something else is dependent can be considered a platform. With this month's feature articles we cover both hardware and software.
Frequently, when people think platform they think processor architecture. And for years, as far as Linux was concerned, that meant x86, despite the fact that some courageous individuals began very early the work of porting Linux to other platforms. Some of us can remember as far back as 1996 in the precivilized days before 20GB hard drives when Linux was supported on only few platforms other than x86, such as the IA32, the Amiga and Atari. Now every major processor (and a whole lot of minor ones) have been ported to Linux.
In his article, "The Trials and Tribulations of LinuxPPC 2000 Q4", Paul Barry discusses his experiences with the highly touted PPC processor, the one believed by many to have the best chance of taking the "tel" out of "Wintel" (see page 60). While many distros continue to support only Intel, a growing number are offering support for the PPC. Besides the usuals—Yellow Dog, MkLinux and LinuxPPC—SuSE, Mandrake and Debian also have distros for the PPC. In our August 2000 issue we ran an article on installing LinuxPPC, and Barry's article, almost a year later, provides a good measure for how far it's come and the distance still to go.
In our second feature article, "PostgreSQL Performance Tuning", Bruce Momjian discusses what can be done on the hardware end to improve the performance of tasks involving the PostgreSQL database (see page 66). Momjian provides an illustration of memory types and uses and how to make the most of PostgreSQL by modifying cache size and sort size and spreading disk access across drives.
Also, see Stephanie Black's book review (page 76) on Momjian's PostgreSQL: Introduction and Concepts. Momjian's book includes tips on maximizing performance through optimizing the queries sent to the database. Between the article and the book, you should be able to get your PostgreSQL running at its maximum potential.

Hiraizumi and Yanaginogosho
Why UNESCO dropped Yanaginogosho off Hiraizumi as the world heritage site?
According to the professor I discussed this matter with, he said the people in charge of selecting world heritages chose only the religion connected sites for Hiraizumi. The religion is Buddhism and Yanaginogosho was the palace for one of the Fujiwara families that ruled the north of Japan for one hundred years.
The problem is without Yanaginogosho, there was no Buddhist temples or gardens. Yanaginogosho was the center and the accumulation of the culture which was unique to that region. The professor seemed to regret that the Japan side committee brought up "Pure Land Buddhism" into this argument. I read the UNESCO site as follows and understood why he said that: http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1277
I think the Japanese official out of desperation trying to include Yanaginogosho to the world heritage piped the uniqueness using the term "Pure Land Buddhism." The term sounds magical but I'm not impressed. How Japanese live with religions is different from the western standards. And Buddhism is quite different religion from Christianity and other western religions.
I think if we can, it's more important to raise awareness of the difference than just to have Yanaginogosho included to the world heritage site. I know that's really tough, but after all, if UNESCO is the world standards, it cannot remain the western centric forever. What do you think?

The Chanting of Buddhist Sculptors
称名寺、金沢文庫 Shoumyouji, Kanazawabunnko, Yokohama
I visit here almost every time I return to Japan so you've probably seen similar views before, but each time is a new meeting. Indeed, I was glad to visit Shoumyouji yesterday and see the exhibition of Hinata Yakushi (Buddha statue). A soft spoken senior volunteer was speaking fits and starts as I entered the room. He moved to the three Buddha statues called 本尊薬師三尊像 and began speaking detail about the construction of the statue. I was intrigued.
Seeing is believing. The middle statue is largest. Please see the images below. https://www.planet.pref.kanagawa.jp/city/bunko/tenji.html
The following is from an older event, but you see the whole view of the center Buddha statue. http://www.pref.kanagawa.jp/evt/p899147.html
It was so good to listen to an intelligent and passionate expert and so exciting to find out recent discoveries not only on physical parts found under the floor or wall or inside the statues, but the newly developed perspectives on the past established views.
The technique of carving that above statue is called natabori 鉈彫 and nata means hatchet, but chisel was used. I wondered why the naming is confusing but I thought both hatchets and chisels were used. Anyway, the similar technique was also used on making Gumyouji Kannon—I want to remind you of Gumi chan's Gumyouji-- so I was excited. Some experts used to believe, because of its rough texture, they were incomplete. I wish all the photos of Buddha statues are available online. I wish you can see them. The Gumyouji Kannon is very rough carved statue and unique in that, unlike other divine and authoritative looking statues. The Hinata Yakushi statue in above links comes with a smaller beautiful statute on both sides.
Again I wish I could show you those two statues, which showed beautiful repetitive chiseled marks all around their bodies. Today, experts came to understanding that the rough texture of natabori was not because of its incompleteness in finish but it is now known as a distinct carving technique. Of course! I recommend Gumyouji Kannon to be upgraded to a national treasure! When I saw it in the Ueno National Museum, I was shocked and delighted. It was nothing like all others. How dare those experts to judge the truth-seeking rough carved Gumyouji Kannon to be unfinished! Don't you love this story?
Another discovery or new interpretation on the chisel technique is this. When Kaikei, the name of the creator, carved the statue, the chiseling noises made comforting music. It must be entrancing to listeners as well as the artist making the statue. Kaikei expressed his experience in the finishing touch. You can see a little bit of the chisel marks at the edge of the first photo, and they get stronger marks outward on to the smaller statues. Unkei is the most famous Japanese Buddha sculptor, but I think the expert wanted to say that Kaike is not as famous as Unkei, but he left magic on his creations, especially in the half-open, communicating eyes.
Don't you love this new perspective? It made sense to me. I found a seat behind the audience, sat, and imagined the scene that took place 800 years ago: Hojo Masako and her daughter-in-law came to pay their respect to this Buddha and I was looking at the same statue who had seen all.
