It was January 1980, and the news was not good for Mary Alice Williams. After five and a half years, the ambitious young reporter for WNBC-TV in New York received a call from the station telling her she was going to be fired. The disenchantment was mutual, but for Williams it seemed the end of her dream to become a correspondent for one of the networks. "I was in terrible pain," she admits. "I'd been unhappy my last two years at the station, but I might never have had the courage to leave on my own."
Now all that has changed. Williams landed on her feet as New York bureau chief for Ted Turner's 24-hour Cable News Network. Today, at 34, she is a vice-president of CNN and one of the highest-ranked female executives in television. This month CNN and Mary Alice celebrate both their third year together and the network's third year on the air.
For Williams, the career turnaround was startling indeed—especially in light of the second-class status accorded most women in TV news. Though there are nearly three times as many on-air network newswomen as there were 10 years ago, Williams knows there's a long way to go. "On camera, a double standard still exists," she says. "When men age, they gain authority. Women just get wrinkles. I hope the day comes when we will stop focusing on people's plumbing."
Born in Minneapolis, the daughter of a psychiatrist father who died last year and a housewife mother, Williams was the second of five children in a close-knit, Irish Catholic family. While attending Creighton University in Omaha, she worked part-time at a local television station, covering fast-breaking news. After graduation in 1971, she moved on to WPIX-TV in New York, where, at 23, she was hired as executive news producer. Williams moved over to WNBC-TV in 1974, but eventually ran afoul of studio politics. "One of the station executives said I belonged in a Dracula movie, not on television. He told me that my eyes were too blue and icy. He suggested I get brown contact lenses. I tried, but it didn't work out."
Two weeks after she was fired, Williams signed on with Ted Turner's fledgling CNN, which had not yet gone on the air. Turner's philosophy suited her perfectly. "People want the basic facts," she says. "They don't want pretty faces and polish." Now, in addition to spending two hours a day anchoring the New York portion of the network's news broadcast, she must attend to executive matters as diverse as representing CNN at conventions and making sure the studio air conditioning works. Says a longtime friend who now works for Williams as a writer, "She isn't as big a star as some of the network anchors—after all, CNN is to the networks as Off-Off-Broadway is to Broadway. But she's become much bigger than even she expected."
Williams lives in an airy Greenwich Village loft with her husband of four years, Scott Latham, 34, a former UPI wire service editor and reporter who now runs his own political consulting business out of their home. "Having been in the news business myself makes things a lot easier," he says, and Mary Alice agrees: "He understands the commitment." The couple split household chores, with Scott, a gourmet chef, doing the cooking and Mary Alice cleaning up. As for her next career step, Williams is noncommittal. "My early dream was to become a correspondent for NBC, and I did it," she says. Now, at CNN, she has found contentment as well as a title, and a future that couldn't look brighter. Says former CNN President Reese Schonfeld, who originally hired her: "The day will come when they look for a woman to be president of a network news division. And they will have to consider Mary Alice."
Mary Alice Williams Couldn't Make Her Blue Eyes Brown, but Her Cable News Future Looks Rosy

The Chicago Auto Show gave a nice up-close look at upcoming vehicles from all manufacturers, including the ones already seen at the NAIAS.
Ram introduced the 2014 ProMaster series at their press event, the first collaboration with Fiat Professional. ProMaster will be available through 750 Business Link dealers, who will offer next-day service to customers and a five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. ProMaster will also have a partnership with Bosch Power Tools.
ProMaster's chassis has a steel I-beam overlay for durability. The parking brake has been moved out of the way to the left side of the driver's seat, and the back-up camera works when the rear doors are opened and closed. Its headlights are positioned above the front impact zone.
Oil changes for ProMaster's Pentastar V6 are needed every 10,000 miles, while the EcoDiesel will only need oil changes every 18,500 miles. The V6 is coupled to Chrysler's 62TE minivan automatic, while the diesel is hooked up to Fiat's own single-clutch automated manual transmission.
When sitting inside ProMaster, it feels as though one would be right at home…if they're a bus driver. It's definitely unlike the Ford Transit vans in which you don't feel as tall in them, and your view of the road isn't as great.
Other Ram Commercial vehicles were on display, such as the Ram Cargo Van Tradesman and various Ram trucks.
We will post more on Monday in our full Chicago Auto Show report.

Posted: Oct 31 2011, 1:32pm CDT | by Shane McGlaun, in Reviews | I4U Gadget Reviews
The Subjekt TNT Headphones use 40mm Neodymium magnets. The sensitivity is 108dB plus or minus 3dB. The frequency response is 20Hz to 20 KHz and the impedance is 32 ohms. The headphones are available now in multiple colors and styles for $49.99.
The Subjekt TNT Headphones I reviewed had a cool flag motif going on, but you can get them in multiple styles to suit your tastes. They are an on-the-ear design that sit comfortably on the ears. They are padded, but do put pressure on ears and can get uncomfortable after long listening sessions. The Subjekt TNT Headphones have a single button remote in the middle of the cord.
The button will allow the user to pause, play and move forward and back in your playlist with button presses. The headphones are very lightweight, but they do have nice sound quality. The headphones have good bass that is deep, you can get better bass on some other headphones but if the loudest bass possible isn't a huge priority these are nice sounding headphones. The headphones also have good mid range and high range sound as well.
These headphones are priced well enough and if you are after on the ear headphones these are one of the better offerings out there. Most people will be happy with the sound quality the Subjekt TNT Headphones offer.
The bass is a bit less than other offerings I have tried recently, but the Subjekt TNT Headphones sound great overall.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on July 2, 2012.
Monster Frank Pilgrim
Project by
Monster Frank Pilgrim
2 created | 0 backed
The Monster Fool duo recently formed in Jacksonville, FL and are planning to record an EP/CD...we need your help to achieve this goal.
This project's funding goal was not reached on July 2, 2012.
2 created | 0 backed
Hello, everyone!!! Thank you for considering this project to support. The Monster Fool is an acoustic duo, and we plan to go into the studio very shortly to produce a 5-6 song EP/CD. We already have basic album art...
Also, we have self-produced a song titled "Think" that you can listen to at either...http://www.reverbnation.com/monsterfool or at our website... http://www.wix.com/the_monster_fool/the-monster. There is an additional, self-produced song titled "Clinging To Life" at reverbnation. If you listen to these songs, it will become obvious that we do not have the ability to self-produce a "quality" CD. We really need to get some professional help...but only for the music production...LOL...
We anticipate that our goals should be accomplished simply, and the CD's should be ready for distribution before the end of Summer 2012.
Thank you again for taking the time to consider this project.

India's 14-Year Bond Yield at 5-Week Low as RBI to Buy More Debt
India's 14-year government bonds gained, pushing the yield to a five-week low, after the central bank said it will buy more debt next week.
The Reserve Bank of India will buy as much as 120 billion rupees ($2.2 billion) of notes due in 2017, 2020, 2022 and 2026 on Dec. 11, according to a statement on its website. The monetary authority bought 116.43 billion rupees of securities on Dec. 4, the first purchase since June.
"The bond purchase news has lifted investor sentiment as this will help ease the cash squeeze in the banking system," said Debendra Kumar Dash, a fixed-income trader at Development Credit Bank Ltd. in Mumbai. "Since there is no debt sale scheduled next week, bonds will remain largely supported."
The yield on the 8.33 percent notes maturing in July 2026, the most-traded government security, fell two basis point today to 8.25 percent in Mumbai, according to the central bank's trading system. That was the lowest level since Oct. 29. The rate fell four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, this week. There was no trading in the benchmark 10-year note today as the government is scheduled to pay coupon on Dec. 11.
The central bank has bought 936.43 billion rupees of securities so far in the fiscal year that began April 1.
The open market purchases are "based on the assessment of the current liquidity situation," RBI Deputy Governor Subir Gokarn told reporters today. "The call rate has been very close to the repo rate, which is the objective, and to the extent that it has not surged, it has not shot up, would suggest that liquidity is generally within the comfort zone."
The call money rate, at which lenders borrow from each other overnight, was at 7 percent today compared with 8.15 percent yesterday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Lenders borrowed an average of 928 billion rupees a day from the RBI's repurchase window in November, compared with 671 billion rupees the previous month, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. They borrowed 732 billion rupees yesterday.
The one-year interest-rate swap, a derivative contract used to guard against fluctuations in funding costs, fell six basis points to 7.65 percent, the lowest level since Oct. 29, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The rate declined eight basis points this week.

Anyone play thisdemo yet. I did and it was pretty good. The only thing i think is weird is when you have the flashligh on the enemy they dont look to see were the light is when u are behind them. i just think i might be for a reason because maybe u will attract too much attention but anyway good demo.
Berserker posted on Aug 01, 2008 2:29:05 PM - Report post
Yeah, the demo for this was great. I actually have the full game now from the PlayStation store. It's absolutely fantastic in many ways if you're a survival horror fan. The game is so much easier to play than the original Siren - it's actually a little too easy in some areas because of the way that the mission objectives tell you every single thing to do, but I think the gameplay still holds up really well. The demo had some problems with darkness issues if you ask me, mainly in that first chapter. In the full game that chapter still has the same problems but every other chapter has been fine so far. I'm only on Episode 6 at the moment.

Why being truly beautiful is not always a positive attribute
Published 17/06/2014 | 02:30
It won't come as a shock to many to find out that Sharon Corr may just be too beautiful. The producer of the Sky Arts series 'Portrait of the Year 2014' admitted that Corr might be too stunning for the portrait painters to paint.
Corr, pictured below, is not the only women to have this problem. Being too beautiful can be a hindrance in all areas of life. According to research, being pretty is the holy grail, but being beautiful is too intimidating.
Cameron Diaz, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful women in the world, worries about the reaction of younger girls towards her. She explains that young female extras on film sets constantly come up to her and tell her that she's pretty and her hair's perfect as is her make-up and her clothes . . .
"It's sweet, but it worries me that girls are conditioned to value themselves and judge each other by how they look."
Unfortunately, that is the way society works. Good looks have always been considered an asset. Even babies are more drawn to good-looking people. But it seems that the tide is turning on the 'too good-looking'.
It has always paid to be pretty but now we are discovering that it doesn't always pay to be beautiful.
In America there have been two widely publicised cases where women were chastised for their looks. In a leaked email, Colonel Lynette Arnhart expressed her anger at an image of Corporal Kristine Tejada that appeared in the 'United States Army magazine'. The photo ran with an article that was raising awareness for a campaign to encourage greater equality.
Arnhart however was not impressed with Tejada looking so attractive. "Such photos undermine the rest of the message . . . in general ugly women are perceived as competent, while pretty women are perceived as having used their looks to get ahead."
The army might want to leave that particular gem out of their recruitment ads.
The other high-profile case was when an all-male Supreme Court in Iowa ruled that dentist James Knight was within his rights to dismiss his assistant, Melissa Nelson, because he found her 'irresistible' and thus a potential threat to his marriage.
Poor Knight, how stressful for him to have to work with someone attractive. Perhaps he should have got Nelson to wear a burka to help him control his urges. Or maybe he should just move to Kabul. He'd fit right in.
Being too pretty for a job is something that comes up a lot. In one study of job applicants, beautiful women who included a photo with their résumé were 41pc less likely to land an interview than "plain" women who did the same.
Being too good-looking can cost you opportunities and promotions. The severity of this cost will often depend on the gender and attractiveness of your interviewer or boss.
This is where the real problem lies – it's not about the beauty of the applicant or employee, it's about the insecurity of the person who is in charge.
Psychologist Maria Agthe found that attractive applicants for a graduate scholarship received more favourable ratings from opposite-sex evaluators but not from same-sex ones. Women actually penalised female applicants for being good-looking.
Agthe also found that if the woman interviewing was attractive herself, she wasn't threatened or bothered by the applicant's beauty. But if the interviewer was average looking, she penalised the beautiful applicant.
It's sad but true. Who would want their husband to have a secretary that looked like Cameron Diaz? Show me a woman who wants to hire a nanny that looks like a Scandinavian supermodel. Women often see beautiful younger women as a threat. These fresh, lithe candidates make the older women feel unattractive and inadequate. So Ugly Betty gets the job while the perfectly qualified stunner goes home confused.
We live in a world obsessed with youth and beauty. Women now spend more time and money than ever before trying to look better and younger. So why do we punish others for being beautiful?
The next time you're interviewing someone for a job, try not to let their physical attributes cloud your decision, base it on merit alone.
As for the gorgeous candidates, to be in with a chance of getting the job, they need to make sure their skirts reach their knees and that their blouses are buttoned.
Finally, for the 99pc of women who feel insecure about how they look and wish they were better looking, this should make you feel better – when accused of murder, beautiful women are more likely to be presumed guilty.

Pro Hockey Talk "The captain is back in Arizona.

Doan, 39 (turns 40 on Oct. 10), has spent his entire career with the Winnipeg/Phoenix/Arizona..." July 12
Arizona Republic "It's becoming clearer what next season's version of the Coyotes could look like with the team tapping into the free-agent and trade markets to revise their roster.

Arizona Sports "Coyotes general manager John Chayka doesn't have a contract to announce after meeting with Shane Doan and Doan's agent, Terry Bross, but Chayka did say both sides are now focused on a one-year deal. "We've discussed both a multi-year deal and a one-year deal, but at this time we're progressing..." May 27
Arizona Republic "Agreeing to a new contract appears to be the only hurdle the Coyotes need to clear to get captain Shane Doan back on the ice after Doan decided he wants to continue playing next season.

The Score "Shane Doan appears set on playing at least one more season in the desert. "Yeah, I think I'm going to. We've talked about it as a family and we're going to do it.

Pro Hockey Talk "Shane Doan's contract expires in July, and he turns 40 in October. But Shane Doan also scored 28 goals this year, the third-highest total of his career. The former is why he's mulling retirement, and wants to discuss his playing future with his family. But the latter is why some think..." April 14

I graduated from Wake Forest in 2008, double-majoring in Mathematics and Physics. I also took some courses in the Education Department, and substitute taught for public high schools and middle schools in Winston-Salem, NC and Metairie, LA.
I have worked in tutoring programs for elementary school children approximately twice a week for a total of twelve months.
I have recently learned HTML, PHP, and Javascript programming languages, and am the designer and programmer for the Facebook application Harry Potter House Sort. I think educators must take into account the different ways in which students learn. For instance, I've noticed that math students may have difficulty adding and subtracting fractions, but have no trouble whatsoever when I ask about dimes and quarters. If an instructor can build a bridge between new material and material the student has already mastered, the stu

I began to realize my love and aptitude for tutoring as a volunteer Japanese instructor for the Daikin home-stay program in 2006. The next two years I volunteered my time with Rosie's International Services tutoring Spanish. At the beginning of the Spring 2008 semester, the Head of the Foreign Language Department, Dr. Maier, submitted my name to a tutoring department at UAH, where I worked tutoring Spanish, Japanese, Latin, Chinese, and English as a Second Language until I graduated in Spring 2010. Although I do not have an education degree nor teaching certificate, I was hired as a part-time Spanish teacher at Austin High School 2010-2011, where I started an informal Japanese Culture Club. The first thing I do with any new student is identify his or her learning style so that I may incorporate those specific strategies into my lesson for an effective and personalized learning experience

I have been making money trading M calls and I routinely shop there. I could care less if they sell Trump products
Donald Trump is a bozo, and here's an example. Trump, who likes to pass himself off as a prototypical New Yorker decided to treat Sarah Palin to some "real" New Yorl pizza some time ago. Rather than take her to Little Italy (or even better, to Brooklyn) he takes her to some third rate tourist trap pizza joint in Times Square, and proceeds to eat his pizza with a KNIFE AND FORK! What a stronzo! Che coglione!

The men getting their heads shaved at Rooster's Hair Cuts in Greeley on Monday afternoon laughed about how long it had been since they'd been without hair.
Most of them went in with hair and beards, quite the change from the basic training of their military service.
About nine American Legion Post 18 veterans and members of the Auxiliary had come out in support of Rhonda Williams, an eight-year member of the Auxiliary who has been president since May.
She has cancer and was going to lose her hair from chemotherapy, so some of the group's members decided to lose theirs, too.
"We said, 'Well, if you're going to be bald we're all going to be bald,'" said Bob Walter, service officer for Post 18.
When Jim Hartshorn, Post 18 commander, called Rooster's to ask how much the cost would be to have about nine heads shaved, salon owner Julie Walker's first reaction was surprise. As soon as she heard why, she was on board at no cost.
Her fiancé is a cancer survivor and Rooster's supports veterans, including offering discounted and free hair cuts.
"I said just come in, we'll do it for free," Walker said.
"It's kind of fun," she added, looking around at the chatty, smiling group.
Along with the shaven men, three women were getting short haircuts and donating their hair to Locks of Love. One of those women was Rose Williams, Rhonda's daughter-in-law. She'd never had a short haircut before, but said she was ready.
"Excited. Very excited. I was hoping that it was long enough," Rose Williams said about what she was feeling waiting in a salon chair.
Rhonda's husband Denny Williams, a veteran, was also there getting his head shaved. Rhonda joked that they looked like two cue balls.
She said that when she found out what the group was planning to do, she was shocked and gratified. She said she enjoys serving food to veterans, especially from World War II, and noted how grateful they always are.
"I just think the support that these guys and women are doing, what they're going through, is incredible. It's veterans helping veterans, and then helping me," Williams said.

I have three E-Flite products - an mCX, an mSR and a Blade 400.
No problems what so ever with the mCX or mSR. Tons of flights. Never had the rear motor cap pop off either. Except I bought two additional E-Flite 120mAh lipos for the mSR that only lasted a few months.
Blade 400 - quality problems; battery, charger, & 420 motor. And, my first contact with tech support to correct the problems didn't go well at all. The second one did, but the first one caused me to wonder. Still, I'm disappointed. The B400 flys very well now, but out of the box it did not. Had to re-do all of the basic mechanical CP heli setup for it to behave well. The ESC/BEC and 420 motor remain a mystery (no tech specs what so ever). After the mCX and mSR I expected better.
So, I'm on the fence. Not a hater, not a lover. I'll just watch and see what they do. Fixing the B400's quality problems would score mega points with me. The B400 is a great heli, when it's built & setup right with reliable components - it should just come that way out of the box as to match the product's advertisements & implications of superior design ("#1 by Design").
But, the mCX did get me hooked ... then I got a Quark which flys very well, so I don't have a need for an SR 120 at the moment. I would be interested in a CP of that size however. Regardless, I'm not happy to hear about the brushed motors.
My mcx is now with a friend and still going strong. My mcx2 has not had any electronic issues yet. My Tandem hasn't had any electronic issues either. Im not saying they are perfect, I have had issues with both my tandem and mcx2 for strange quarks they have but it has never been an issue with electronics.
I have had other helis that cost more and cost less than the eflight stuff, that I had tons of issues with electronic problems.
I salute them for their quality. Before them, there were not many helis out there that you could "crash" and just pick it right back up and start flying it again let alone crash multiple times with little to no issues, especially in these small sizes.
My personal opinion is that many people push these helis far beyond what they were designed for and then want to blame the company because they don't hold up to their abuse. Now thats not to say there wont be defects that can creep up from time to time, but I dont think the blame is all on the company for many of these issues that people have.
I want one, RIGHT NOW
Right after I got a mSR I wished for a larger mSR, about the size of a CX2. Soon I will have my wish fulfilled.
Thank You Horizon.
Next I want one the size of a HBFP. Then a 600 sized FP using the same technology.
If I get one I think I will put one of these on it
i thought the SR 120 had brushless motors?
They are brushed motors. Now... in my own opinion drawn from my experiences with BOTH Walkera and E-Flite or "Blade" micro helis, Walkera has durability in their corner, but only by a hair. I say this because of how much more complicated the 4#6 is to repair than the Blade mSR that most of us already know about and/or own. Though the plastic parts of a Blade are much more easily broken, the simplicity of the construction made it much easier for me to fix the mSR that I am now selling for either the 120 SR or the Walkera CB100. I realize the size difference in these two models, but the CB100 has dual brushless motors and the 120 SR still has brushed motors. So... I guess I am now leaning towards another Walkera once again because of the motors.
As far as quality goes, I feel that they are neck in neck until it comes to customer service and parts availability, where Horizon has come though with flying colors. No lhs parts availability for Walkera alone had them ahead IMHO. So there you have it from my now more intermediate pilot point-of-view.
Oh no....here we go again....
let the SR120 hysteria begin....
count me in/out as watching passively while I pick my next CP heli and enjoy flying my multitudinous planks all summer.

When you record a test on a mobile device, the test is always generated in the default language of the application. However, it is possible that the language defined for the device running the test is different from the default language of the application. This language difference between the mobile device and the application means that to replay the test on the mobile device, you need to convert the mobile strings in the test script into the localized strings of the application. With IBM® Rational® Test Workbench, you can run a recorded test in the default language of a mobile device by using different localized strings.
Note: The application must be localized to be able to take advantage of this feature of Rational Test Workbench.
You need access to the following software, applications, and test:
- Rational Test Workbench 18.104.22.168: Installed and configured with the Rational Test mobile client installed on a virtual machine or mobile device.
- A mobile application that contains translation strings: To be able to convert the standard strings in the test script into localized strings, verify that the application under test contains translation strings.
- A created and recorded test that is to be replaced by localized strings: You can convert all the mobile strings into localized strings in the tests at one time, or convert them one by one.
- Android (versions 2.2 to 4.4): Download the latest SDK.
General process to convert strings in a test script
By using the Rational Test Workbench you can create test scripts by recording user actions on a mobile application. If the locale of the mobile application changes, however, the recorded scripts are of no use. In this situation, you need to change locales in the test scripts and then run the scripts on a mobile application that has a different locale.
Before you get started
Prepare to follow the steps in this article by performing the following tasks.
- Back up the Rational Test Workbench environment using a proven method before you make any file changes.
- Test your changes in a development environment before you roll them out to a production environment.
- Determine whether your localized language is supported in Rational
Test Workbench 8.5.1. Check the following list:
- ar- Arabic
- bg- Bulgarian
- ca- Catalan
- cs- Czech
- da- Danish
- de- German
- el- Greek
- es- Spanish
- fa- Persian
- fi- Finnish
- fr- French
- hu- Hungarian
- nl- Dutch
- pl- Polish
- pt- Portuguese
- ro- Romanian
- ru- Russian
- sk- Slovak
- sl- Slovenian
- sr- Serbian
- sv- Swedish
- th- Thai
- tr- Turkish
- uk- Ukrainian
- vi- Vietnamese
Note: This list is not exhaustive. To see a detailed list of all of the available, supported locales, open a test and go to Test Element Details as shown in Figure 1. Click the drop-down arrow in the field next to Used local for localized strings to see the complete list.
Figure 1. List of supported locales
Verify that the application has been localized
The following steps apply to Android and iOS applications under test. The phrase mobile strings means the graphic objects, such as the buttons or objects that are identified by text strings in the test script recording. You can convert all the mobile strings into localized strings in your tests at one time, or you can convert them one by one.
- In the mobile application node of the Test Navigator view, double-click your application file or click the display available mobile applications icon on the toolbar. In the Mobile Applications editor that opens, select an application from the list.
- In the right pane of the editor, click the Localized Strings tab. As shown in Figure 2, a table displays the translation keys that are found in the application for the mobile strings.
- Click the Locale column heading to see the languages
handled by the application. You can apply filters to sort the data
items in the table. By default, the filter applies to the key, but you
can filter strings or locales. To do so, enter a value in the filter
field and click one of the following icons:
- Filter using key to filter the keys
- Filter using key to filter the strings
- Filter using locale to filter the locales
- Check that you find the appropriate translated strings in the target language of the mobile device that will be used to run the test.
Figure 2. Localized strings
Convert the full set of mobilestrings into localized strings
To convert the full set of mobile strings in your test script into localized strings of the application, follow these steps:
- In the Test Navigator view, double-click your test file or right-click and click the Test editor to edit the test.
- In the test script, right-click on the root node and click Convert mobile strings into localized strings. As shown in Figure 3, the Localize mobile strings in test wizard opens.
Figure 3. Localized mobile strings in test
- Click the Locale column heading in the table and
select the correct locale for the translation of the strings. This
must be the local string used on the device during the test
Note: For iOS devices, you can have device-specific locales in the list. For example, you might record a test on a device set to English locale (
En). Check for other options. If you record a test on an iPhone, use the locale
en_iPhone. If you record a test on an iPad, use the locale
- As a result, the table displays the translated strings available in the application. The rows containing translated strings are checked. If several keys are available for a string, you need to select a key.
- In the next cell, click Select key and choose the appropriate key in the list. Click Finish.
As shown in Figure 4, in the test script you can see that the localized strings are underlined. If you click on a localized string in the test script that corresponds to a graphic object identified by text, you can see in the right pane that the Text field contains multiple choices for the current string. The mobile strings have been converted to localized strings. They are underlined in the test script.
Figure 4. Localized test contents
Convert a single mobile string into a localized string
In the test script, select the Launch application node. In the right pane, click Used locale for localized strings and select a language the local string used to record the test script. If your test contains instances of other applications or several nodes, click the Apply selected locale to and select one of the choices: Apply locale to the same application node or Apply locale to all application nodes.
Select the node containing the mobile strings converted to localized strings and right-click the Text edit in the right pane, then choose Convert string to localized string. In the test script, you can see that the localized strings are underlined. If you click on a localized string in the test script that corresponds to a graphic object identified by text, you can see in the right pane that the Text field contains multiple choices for the current string.
Convert localized strings into standard strings
Convert the localized strings in your test into standard strings. If you want to have the localized strings or the localization keys as standard values in your test script, you need to convert the mobile strings into standard strings in the test script.
- In the test, click the mobile app element that represents the mobile app that contains a localized string. In the right pane, right-click the Text field. A list that contains multiple choices for the selected string is displayed, as shown in Figure 5. You can filter the list.
- Double-click the string of your choice in the list and click Convert into standard string using localized string as value to have the selected, localized string in the test or Convert into standard string using localization key as value to have the associated key in the test.
Figure 5. Localized strings settings
- Save and replay your test. You can run the test in different language environments.
- In the test report, you can see that the object names and the text are displayed in the new target language.
This article explains how you can run existing test scripts on mobile applications that are not in English but in some other locale. It describes how to localize test scripts by using Rational Test Workbench. This process saves you the effort of re-creating test scripts for different locales.

Proteas women on a roll
South Africa made it two Women's World Twenty20 warm-up wins from two with a 36-run victory over Pakistan at King's College, Taunton.
Wicketkeeper Trisha Chetty's 45 underpinned the Proteas' 126 for seven, while off-spinner Javeria Khan was Pakistan's outstanding bowler with 2-17 from four overs.
Alicia Smith, Sunette Loubser and Dane van Niekerk then claimed two wickets apiece as Pakistan were bowled out in the 18th over. Opener Nain Abidi top-scored with 23.
New Zealand recovered from yesterday's seven-wicket defeat to England, defeating India by 18 runs at Taunton Vale Sports Ground.
Aimee Watkins (60) and Amy Satterthwaite (34) added 114 for the fourth wicket after the White Ferns were in trouble at 31 for three. Seamer Rumeli Dhar was India's outstanding performer with 2-12 from four overs.
India made a disastrous start to their pursuit of 124, losing their first nine wickets for 68 as medium-pacer Satterthwaite claimed 2-13 in three overs.
Tailenders Priyanka Roy (28) and Babita Mandlik (13) gave their side faint hope by adding 38 for the last wicket, but Roy was out off the last ball of the game.
In the second game at King's College, West Indies thrashed Sri Lanka by 40 runs after Stacy-Ann King smashed 48 from 25 balls, including four fours and three sixes.
That set up a total of 121 all out from 19.5 overs, seamer Eshani Kaushalya taking 3-21.
Fast bowler Kirbyina Alexander then produced figures of 4-1-11-2 as only two Sri Lanka batters reached double figures in their total of 81 for eight.

North Dakota ranks among the country's ten largest agricultural states. In 2014, the agricultural sector contributed $3.68 billion to the North Dakota economy, or seven percent of overall state GDP (placing it 22nd among all U.S. states for the size of its farm economy). Some 12 percent of North Dakota's annual farm income is from livestock products (including poultry, beef and dairy cattle, sheep or hogs and pigs). The other 88 percent comes from crops. North Dakota's main crops are wheat, soybeans, corn and canola. Other crops farmed here include sugar beets, sunflowers, barley, hay and honey. According to official Census Bureau stats, there were 30,961 farms recorded in the state, covering a total of 39.3 million acres (or the equivalent of 87 percent of the overall state land area).Read More +

Invite me to a game I never refuse a match. My gamertag is bullbob44.
Scrubs be warned, I ve never lost a match against someone out of the top 30 in classic mode so maybe you d prefer to challenge me at twist loll...
PurestProdigy 6 years ago#2
Not really looking for a challenge but you got any tips?
gutsymonkey103 (Topic Creator)6 years ago#3
Well hard to say but easier to show. I should try doing youtube videos about tips and tricks.
A few basic things that may help you is to know is to learn to recognize L and T shape paterns to make star gems as they are the best route to go for high scores.
Beginners also need to try to concentrate on speed rather than making the perfect matches all the time as making rapid matches gives you bonus points. Making more matches means more chances for random cascades. A very important thing is to always look for a minimum of 2 matches you can make in advance so you don t get stuck looking for a new match everytime
Last tip i ll give you is to remember you don t have to wait for a cascade to end to make a new move. That s very important since it ll be the only way to get the highly prized blazing speed mode.
PurestProdigy 6 years ago#4
That helps a little, I was able to improve my score. My only issue now is working on my reflexes and not pressing the wrong button when I've got a clear match going.
gutsymonkey103 (Topic Creator)6 years ago#5
Also try to remember that the closer to the middle your matches are made, the more chances you have to get cascades and clear up the board. The worst part of a match is if you have your matches restricted to one of the upper corners and can only do one match at a time.
gutsymonkey103 (Topic Creator)6 years ago#6
What s your gamertag???
I can add you to my party and we would do non ranked matches so you can just watch me play. That way you d learn much faster. I m sure you could breach the top 50 easily. You d have an edge on everyone.

Meachem tore up a knee and redshirted in '03, then caught 25 balls in 2004 and 29 in 2005.
Smith caught five balls as a rookie in 2003, 18 in 2004 and 21 in 2005.
Swain has been consistent, catching 21, 29 and 27 balls the past three years.
All told, the Big Three has combined for just 175 receptions in three years. That's why it was a little surprising to read a note by John Harris for collegefootballnews.com predicting the Vol trio will catch almost that many passes (150) in 2006 alone.
Certainly, Meachem, Smith and Swain have the talent to be much more productive than they have been to date. But expecting them to combine for 150 catches in 2006 might be asking a bit much. They'd have to average 50 catches each and, thus far, none of the three has managed to catch 30 passes in a season ... let alone 50.
Regardless, here's what Harris had to say about them in a recent preview piece on Tennessee:
"Robert Meachem, Bret Smith and Jayson Swain haven't stood out individually for the Volunteers, but as a group, they're a solid trio who must continue to blossom this year for Ainge. Meachem led the Vols with 29 receptions last season, but has yet to really explode on the scene as was expected when he arrived from Tulsa, OK. Smith is probably the team's best red zone receiver, while Swain is a big, physical threat who creates mismatches with his size. All three must be more consistent catching the football, but in Cutcliffe's offense, the three of them should be on the field together a good deal. This threesome should combine for 150 catches+ in 2006."

Fishing Charters in Tampa and St Petersburg, FL
Tampa and St Petersburg have gained notoriety among anglers as one of the hottest light tackle fishing spots in the US. The bay has a variety of unique ecosystems that range from deep blue water to shallow flats, making this area one of the most diverse and versatile fishing locations in the US.
If you're thinking of going Tampa fishing or St Petersburg fishing, you've come to the right place. Let me tell you a little more about what we have in store for you...
There is no better time for an Xtreme fishing charter...
Call or email me now and let's setup your fishing adventure !
Me? Well I'm Will Shook... I grew up here, and I have a passion for fishing. If anyone was ever looking for me the first place they'd check was to see if my boat was gone, so I guess it came as no surprise to my friends that I decided to become a fishing guide. And now I'd like to share my enthusiasm, and the excitement of stalking and catching fish with you.
We'll be fishing on my custom built Canyon Bay 23' bay boat. It's designed to run safe, smooth, and comfortable, getting us quickly to my favorite spots.
Our year-round fishing encompasses every one of the major species of inshore game fish that are sought out by tropical anglers. For starters there's the Tarpon, often running in excess of 100 pounds... Their fury and power is unmatched by any inshore species. We also have Snook... Sleek, crafty, and fast... And always up for a brawl. And of course Redfish... So tough and challenging there is actually a fishing tour dedicated to them. We also have many other saltwater species of fish, and you can bet there isn't a single one of them that will give up easy.
March 6, 2016
Spring is in the air
Tampa Bay Spring fishing is HOT! And it's only going to get better. Redfish, snook and trout. You name it, and it is willing to eat. Look for things to heat up as our water temperatures increase.
Snook season has started off with a bang. Although most of our snook fishing is catch and release, we are catching some nice keeper size and a few oversize fish. Live whitebait is the key, to having a great Tampa Bay snook day.
School is in session. Tampa Bay redfish schools have started to show up and eating everything in their path. Fish are ranging from 4lbs up to 15lbs. Catch a couple of these bruisers on light tackle and they will be sure to wear you out.
The big "gator" trout have invaded the Tampa Bay flats. Working potholes has been the most productive technique. Work as many potholes as possible to increase your odds of hooking a trophy size "Gator" trout. Live or cut bait has been productive.
To book your spring time Tampa Bay fishing charter with Tampa Bay fishing guide, Captain Will Shook, call 813.732.5971 or visit www.TampaFlFishingCharter.com

R.E.M.'s Mike Mills, John Doe and others slated for Saturday's SXSW Big Star tribute
Current Big Star members will serve as 'house band' for SXSW show
What was meant to be one of the highlights of SXSW:--Big Star's show Saturday night—will now turn into a tribute to Big Star's lead singer, Alex Chilton, who died of a heart attack on March 17.
Among the artists who are expected to join the Big Star founding member, Jody Stephens, and current members Ken Stringfellow and Jon Auer, are R.E.M.'s Mike Mills, M.Ward, John Doe and the dB's Chris Stamey.
Stephens told Billboard that Big Star will act as the "house band" for the evening. The band may be joined by Andy Hummel, Big Star's original bassist and only remaining founding member other than Stephens. Chris Bell died in 1978.
Since his death three days ago, SXSW has turned into a make-shift memorial to Chilton with acts ranging from Stone Temple Pilots, the Bodeans and Radney Foster all paying tribute to Chilton and the influence his music had on their careers.

I'm just wondering among the 1up community am I the only one left who is not all that excited about these?

Flexible Leather Coral
Mesmerizing to watch, the Flexible Leather Coral Sinularia flexibilis is a bit more flexible than others in its genus. A more distinctive difference however, is that it is slimy to touch rather than having the dry, leathery feel most of the leather corals are known for.
Like other Sinularia sp., the Spaghetti Finger Leather Coral is not as sensitive to handling and is an easy coral to propagate. This contributes to their predominating numbers in the ocean and makes them ready availability for the reef aquarium. But water quality is important to them, making them a bit more challenging to care for than their siblings.
The S. flexibilis grow on hard substrates such as rubble or dead corals. They form encrusting colonies with finger like projections that have retractable polyps. They can be found in colors ranging from brown, tan, white and gray, and at times may be a more colorful green. The Flexible Leather Coral can resemble some tree corals, but generally have a more antler-like growth pattern and a very prominent, heavy base.
The Flexible Leather Coral is known by many common names including Rasta Leather, Spaghetti Finger Leather Coral, Flexible Leather Coral, Soft Finger Coral, or Thin Finger Coral. Because it is similar in form to other leathers, many of the same common names are used interchangeably such as Leather Coral, Finger Leather, Green Finger Coral, Finger Leather Coral, Scalloped Leather Coral, and Knobby Leather Coral. S. flexibilis are often mistakenly sold as a Finger Leather Coral or Colt Coral Alcyonium sp., but can be distinguished by their polyps which have a less feathery appearance. When ordering this or any other leather coral, its best to make sure you use the scientific name.
The Flexible Leather Coral is moderate in care to keep since they do need clean and stable water conditions. They like a moderate to strong water flow and moderate to high lighting. They also don't do too well in a new tank, and should be added to an established tank for best results. They are easier to care for when added to a tank with these parameters. S. flexibilis are toxic toward other corals due to their release of terpenes (poisons used to ward off encroaching corals), so they do need plenty of space.
Flexible Leather Coral, Sinularia flexibilis
Report Broken Video
Captive specimen, day and night video
The Flexible Leather Coral, Sinularia flexibilis, is different from the Finger Leather Coral in that the branches are longer, thinner and more erratic. The polyps are not as "fluffy" as the Finger Leather Coral and when you see them side by side it is obvious. While they can grow up to 10" (25 cm), they tend to reproduce and spread horizontally and can take up an entire aquarium, making for an interesting display! Grab yourself a green one, let it multiply and then frag, sell and cha-ching!
Family: Alcyoniidae
Species: Sinularia flexibilis
Leather Coral Information: The Sinularia genus was described by May in 1898. They belong to the family Alcyoniidae, which are referred to as octocorals. There are around 138 species and subspecies of Sinularia (this number will grow over time). Some of their common names are Leather Coral, Finger Leather, Ruffled Leather Coral, Flexible Leather Coral, Finger Leather Coral, Knobby Leather Coral, Scalloped Leather Coral, Green Fiji, Sinularis Finger Leather, Rasta Leather Coral, Flexible Leather Coral, and Knobby Leather Coral.
The Sinularia genus is the most predominant genus of soft corals. Several species of Sinularia are considered to be hermatypic or "reef building". This is because they will encrust over most surfaces and the sclerites (tiny spiny skeletal elements embedded in their tissue that help to support their structure) will fuse together near their base. These often form massive accretions of several meters across in older colonies (over 100 years old) and can have a greater density than many of the stony corals. When Sinularia sp. degenerate they shed these tiny sclerites, making them look like they are releasing snowflakes.
The Flexible Leather Coral S. flexibilis was described by May in 1898. It is also known as Rasta Leather, Spaghetti Finger Leather Coral, Flexible Leather Coral, Soft Finger Coral, or Thin Finger Coral.This leather has many names similar to other leathers such as Leather Coral, Finger Leather, Knobby Leather Coral, and Lobed Leather Coral. They have been propagated in captivity. Sometimes Sinularia corals are dyed because the areas some come from have been bleached due to pollution and weather patterns. Or they are dyed to get brighter colors, like fluorescent greens, but dyed corals tend to not do as well.
Where Sinularia Corals Are Found: The S. flexibilis are found in the Indo-Pacific.
Sinularia Coral Habitat: Most S. flexibilis are found near the shore in shallow water on reef flats and lagoons, attached to rubble. They can thrive in the turbid waters within large colonies, due to their thick bases.
The Sinularia flexibilis is not listed on the IUCN Red List for Endangered Species.
What do Sinularia Corals look like: The Flexible Leather Coral S. flexibilis form encrusting colonies with finger like projections that have retractable polyps, and it is a bit more flexible than others in its genus. They grow on hard substrates such as rubble or dead corals, They can resemble some tree corals, but generally have a more antler-like growth pattern and a very prominent, heavy base. They are also slimy to the touch rather than having the dry, leathery feel most of the leather corals are known for. Yet they are not as sensitive to handling as other soft corals, especially when propagation is done.
The S. flexibilis can be brown, tan, white and gray, and at times may be a more colorful green. They are not naturally fluorescent, since that is a dyed coral. They can grow up to 10" (25 cm).
Leather Coral Care: The Flexible Leather Coral S. flexibilis is moderate in care to keep since they do need clean and stable water conditions. They like a moderate to strong water flow and moderate to high lighting. They also don't do too well in a new tank, and should be added to an established tank for best results. They are easier to care for when added to a tank with these parameters. They are very toxic toward other corals due to their release of terpenes (poisons used to ward off encroaching corals), and they need plenty of space. They also regularly shed their top layers.
Leather Coral Feeding: In the wild, Sinularia corals have developed several feeding strategies. They capture microscopic food particles from the water column and can absorb dissolved organic matter. They are also photosynthetic, having a symbiotic relationship with a marine algae known as zooxanthellae, where they also receive some of their nutrients.
In captivity, they may be fed microplankton. This is especially important if the light is not on the higher end to support the zooxanthellae. When feeding the polyps are out, and as nutrients are captured, the polyps retract.
Stable tank conditions are needed to keep the Sinularia genus. A water change that is a standard for any reef system, not to exceed 30% is needed. In general, a typical water change of 20% a month or 10% biweekly, depending on the bio load, is sufficient. Some have found success by doing a 5% water change once a week, keeping water quality high and reducing the need for most additives. Soft corals do need to have proper chemical levels for good growth.
Iodine is used up quickly in captive environments, and does need to be added to the top off water or to the tank regularly. Make sure you have a test to make sure your levels are sufficient. Frequent water changes are preferred over adding extra supplements.
Suggested levels for Sinularia species are:
|Quick Reference Chart
|Water Flow:
A typical live rock/reef environment is what is needed for your Flexible Leather Coral, along with some fish for organic matter production and plenty of room to grow.
Provide proper lighting and water movement. They need a moderate to stong water flow and like moderate to high lighting. Make sure the water flow does not shoot a straight hard stream directly at the coral, only random water current. The Sinularia genus is very aggressive toward other corals so be sure to provide plenty of room between species, and they can be toxic to stony corals
Compatibility and Social Behaviors
The Flexible Leather Coral is very aggressive. The S. flexibilis is toxic toward other corals due to their release of terpenes (poisons to ward off encroaching corals). They have been known to harm some stony coral species of Acropora like the Staghorn Acropora A. formosa, some species of Porites like P andrewsii, as well as the death of Catalaphyllia, Euphyllia, and Plerogyra species.
Specifically, the Sinularia polydactyla have females that remain erect and males retract and become flaccid during spawning. Other species are still being studied in this regard. The S. flexibilis, once mature, will drop clones of themselves.
In the wild, the Sinularia genus use several different forms of reproduction, such as fission, fragmenting and/or branch dropping.
The Flexible Leather Coral is easy to propagate. In general, the Sinularia species can be fragged for just a small piece or for a large frag, but with a few variations in procedure. Using either procedure, the coral will more than likely deflate, but with good water flow it will recover. Corals can emit a nasty and at times noxious odor, so be sure there is good ventilation. Clean up any mucous when finished to prevent any possible health problems.
To frag a small piece:
For larger fragging:
The Sinularia genus is generally hardy and adaptable, but can contract disease. Coral diseases are commonly caused by stress, shock (like pouring freshwater into the tank and it coming in contact with the leather), and incompatible tank mates including specific fish, or pests.
Some diseases and treatments include:
Soft Corals for Sale: The Flexible Leather Coral S. flexibilis is very easy to find pet shops and on line. Online they can run about $50.00 to $90.00 USD, or more, depending on size and/or color.
