Jude Fawley, poor and working-class, longs to study at the University of Christminster, but he is rebuffed, and trapped in a loveless marriage. He falls in love with his unconventional cousin Sue Bridehead, and their refusal to marry when free to do so confirms their rejection of and by the world around them. The shocking fate that overtakes them is an indictment of a rigid and uncaring society. Hardy's last and most controversial novel, Jude the Obscure caused outrage when it was published in 1895. This is the first truly critical edition, taking account of the changes that Hardy made over twenty-five years. It includes a new chronology and bibliography and substantially revised notes.

Read an Excerpt
Part First at Marygreen
"Yea, many there be that have run out of their wits for women, and become servants for their sakes. Many also have perished, have erred, and sinned, for women. . . . O ye men, how can it be but women should be strong, seeing they do thus?" —Esdras.
The schoolmaster was leaving the village, and everybody seemed sorry. The miller at Cresscombe1 lent him the small white tilted cart and horse to carry his goods to the city of his destination, about twenty miles off, such a vehicle proving of quite sufficient size for the departing teacher's effects. For the schoolhouse had been partly furnished by the managers, and the only cumbersome article possessed by the master, in addition to the packing-case of books, was a cottage piano that he had bought at an auction during the year in which he thought of learning instrumental music. But the enthusiasm having waned he had never acquired any skill in playing, and the purchased article had been a perpetual trouble to him ever since in moving house.
The rector had gone away for the day, being a man who disliked the sight of changes. He did not mean to return till the evening, when the new school-teacher would have arrived and settled in, and everything would be smooth again.
The blacksmith, the farm bailiff, and the schoolmaster himself were standing in perplexed attitudes in the parlour before the instrument. The master had remarked that even if he got it into the cart he should not know what to do with it on his arrival at Christminster, the city he was bound for, since he was only going into temporary lodgings just at first.
A little boy of eleven, whohad been thoughtfully assisting in the packing, joined the group of men, and as they rubbed their chins he spoke up, blushing at the sound of his own voice: "Aunt have got a great fuel-house, and it could be put there, perhaps, till you've found a place to settle in, sir."
"A proper good notion," said the blacksmith.
It was decided that a deputation should wait on the boy's aunt—an old maiden resident—and ask her if she would house the piano till Mr. Phillotson should send for it. The smith and the bailiff started to see the practicability of the suggested shelter, and the boy and the schoolmaster were left standing alone.
"Sorry I am going, Jude?" asked the latter kindly.
Tears rose into the boy's eyes, for he was not among the regular day scholars, who came unromantically close to the schoolmaster's life, but one who had attended the night school only during the present teacher's term of office. The regular scholars, if the truth must be told, stood at the present moment afar off, like certain historic disciples, indisposed to any enthusiastic volunteering of aid.
The boy awkwardly opened the book he held in his hand, which Mr. Phillotson had bestowed on him as a parting gift, and admitted that he was sorry.
"So am I," said Mr. Phillotson.
"Why do you go, sir?" asked the boy.
"Ah—that would be a long story. You wouldn't understand my reasons, Jude. You will, perhaps, when you are older."
"I think I should now, sir."
"Well—don't speak of this everywhere. You know what a university is, and a university degree? It is the necessary hall-mark of a man who wants to do anything in teaching. My scheme, or dream, is to be a university graduate, and then to be ordained. By going to live at Christminster, or near it, I shall be at headquarters, so to speak, and if my scheme is practicable at all, I consider that being on the spot will afford me a better chance of carrying it out than I should have elsewhere."
The smith and his companion returned. Old Miss Fawley's fuel-house was dry, and eminently practicable; and she seemed willing to give the instrument standing-room there. It was accordingly left in the school till the evening, when more hands would be available for removing it; and the schoolmaster gave a final glance round.
The boy Jude assisted in loading some small articles, and at nine o'clock Mr. Phillotson mounted beside his box of books and other impedimenta, and bade his friends good-bye.
"I shan't forget you, Jude," he said, smiling, as the cart moved off. "Be a good boy, remember; and be kind to animals and birds, and read all you can. And if ever you come to Christminster remember you hunt me out for old acquaintance' sake."
The cart creaked across the green, and disappeared round the corner by the rectory-house. The boy returned to the draw-well at the edge of the greensward, where he had left his buckets when he went to help his patron and teacher in the loading. There was a quiver in his lip now, and after opening the well-cover to begin lowering the bucket he paused and leant with his forehead and arms against the frame-work, his face wearing the fixity of a thoughtful child's who has felt the pricks of life somewhat before his time. The well into which he was looking was as ancient as the village itself, and from his present position appeared as a long circular perspective ending in a shining disk of quivering water at a distance of a hundred feet down. There was a lining of green moss near the top, and nearer still the hart's-tongue fern.
He said to himself, in the melodramatic tones of a whimsical boy, that the schoolmaster had drawn at that well scores of times on a morning like this, and would never draw there any more. "I've seen him look down into it, when he was tired with his drawing, just as I do now, and when he rested a bit before carrying the buckets home! But he was too clever to bide here any longer—a small sleepy place like this!"
A tear rolled from his eye into the depths of the well. The morning was a little foggy, and the boy's breathing unfurled itself as a thicker fog upon the still and heavy air. His thoughts were interrupted by a sudden outcry:
"Bring on that water, will ye, you idle young harlican!"
It came from an old woman who had emerged from her door towards the garden gate of a green-thatched cottage not far off. The boy quickly waved a signal of assent, drew the water with what was a great effort for one of his stature, landed and emptied the big bucket into his own pair of smaller ones, and pausing a moment for breath, started with them across the patch of clammy greensward whereon the well stood—nearly in the centre of the little village, or rather hamlet of Marygreen.
It was as old-fashioned as it was small, and it rested in the lap of an undulating upland adjoining the North Wessex downs. Old as it was, however, the well-shaft was probably the only relic of the local history that remained absolutely unchanged. Many of the thatched and dormered dwelling-houses had been pulled down of late years, and many trees felled on the green. Above all, the original church, humpbacked, wood-turreted, and quaintly hipped, had been taken down, and either cracked up into heaps of road-metal in the lane, or utilized as pig-sty walls, garden seats, guard-stones to fences, and rockeries in the flower-beds of the neighbourhood. In place of it a tall new building of modern Gothic design, unfamiliar to English eyes, had been erected on a new piece of ground by a certain obliterator of historic records8 who had run down from London and back in a day. The site whereon so long had stood the ancient temple to the Christian divinities was not even recorded on the green and level grass-plot that had immemorially been the churchyard, the obliterated graves being commemorated by eighteen-penny cast-iron crosses warranted to last five years.

What People are Saying About This
-Virginia Woolf
Meet the Author
Thomas Hardy was born in 1840 near Dorchester, the son of a builder. His education was rural and ordinary for the time, teaching him a mixture of folklore, the realities of rural life, English literature and church music which was to be reflected in his novels. Apprenticeship and office work in architecture from 1856 to 1867 took him to with London, and also saw him submitting poetry for magazine publication, but without success. He returned to Dorchester and started writing novels, the first published being Desperate Remedies in 1871. Far From the Madding Crowd, in 1874, was a runaway success and made him economically secure. While moving around England and the Continent and ultimately settling back in the West Countryin the years that followed, Hardy wrote a string of major novels and short-story collections. The reception of Jude the Obscure (1895), however, led him to give up novels and return to poetry, which he wrote prolifically and eclectically, from lyrics to the three-part epic drama The Dynasts, from 1898 until his death, having gradually become a literary establishment figure, in 1928.

Between 'Far From the Madding Crowd', 'The Mayor of Casterbridge', and 'Jude the Obscure' I am becoming a true Thomas Hardy fan!(more emphasis put on the latter two) Jude Fawley and Sue Bridehead really bring the book to life, but lurking in the background are numerous others waiting to uproot the lovers happiness. With the curious nature of Father Time and his sinister mother, Arabella, deceit is always around the corner. However, Richard Phillotson, takes a different approach to contol Sue by using his good nature and an unexpected tragedy against her. There are too many plot twists to go into too much detail, however, this book is definitely worth reading.
This is a very good book. Unfortunately, when Google scanned this one, their OCR software did a terrible job of translation. You're better off getting another copy elsewhere -- perhaps Project Guetenburg.
I can`t honestly say what attrached me to this book, nor why I continued to read it to the very end. The relationship between Jude and Sue is absolutely frustrating, mostly due to Sue`s capricious nature. There are times in the book during which I had the strong urge to strike her. I suppose Sue and her ideals were revolutionary in a way, but not as much as I was led to believe. Her descent in the end completely negates her earlier virtues, and I feel it was almost out of place. The character stopped being Sue. As a comment to the children being trivialized, I agree entirely. All the children, aside from Father Time, aren`t even named, so while the turning point in the characters` lives is affective, the children`s anonimity detracts from the reader`s sympathy. All in all, even though I wasn`t completely thrilled with this novel, it has some redeeming values, and I would recommend it if you had nothing better to read.
With some events that are shocking even today and its contrast between two very different women who consume the initially sympathetic Jude, this novel is fairly absorbing. It's a pretty quick read (though longer than I expected) and it was fun to give my husband periodic updates on what happened to poor Jude in the next installment....

The nice thing about this picture is that it so clearly shows the white, pasty stuff on the right side of the dropping. That white paste is composed mostly of uric acid, and here's the story about that:
Every second of the day and night, animals are producing waste products inside their bodies. If those waste products are not removed from the body, the animal may become ill or die. One of the most dangerous of all such waste products is the chemical resulting from the normal breakdown of amino acids (which make up protein) and nucleic acids (of which our genetic material is composed). The main waste product formed during this decomposition is ammonia, NH3, which is toxic -- poisonous.
In mammals such as us humans, our waste ammonia is combined with carbon dioxide, CO2, and converted into urea, CO(NH3)2, which is less toxic than ammonia, and which dissolves very easily in water. Our bodies dissolve their urea in water, making urine. In other words, when we go pee, basically what we're doing is getting rid of our urea. If we didn't, that urea would build up in our systems and poison us.
Unfortunately, urinating is fairly wasteful of water. Reptiles and birds have developed a different, less water-wasting process for dealing with their bodies' ammonia. Instead of converting their ammonia to urea, they mostly convert it to uric acid, C5H4N3O3, which is excreted as a white paste or even a dry, white powder. Very little water is wasted here. And that white, pasty C5H4N3O3, or uric acid, is what makes the right side of the chicken dropping white in the picture!
It seems that birds and reptiles have developed an ammonia-disposal system that in many ways is better than our mammalian system. If our bodies could convert our ammonia to pasty uric acid instead of urea, we wouldn't have to drink nearly as much water, nor would we have to go pee nearly as often!

My yamaha receiver is the coolest thing I own. The quality and sensativity of the volume control is excellent. Very compatible for the high qulity speakers I have. Almost bought Sony but changed mind, glad I did. I sit for hours listening to music and admiring the looks and beauty of this fine receiver. I bought it at Best Buy, they have any model you could ask for great store to buy a Yamaha product.

StageHand is an application that allows easy dip switch and light beam calculations for stage hands or anyone with an interest in lighting equipment. We have added a bunch of tools and reference materials, like a color calculator, pin outs, watts to amps converter, and more.
we removed ads so now this is the exact same app as stagehand pro - if you want to help us out feel free to buy the "StageHand Pro" app.
**Permissions for Internet and Network access will be used shortly when we add more gels**
NOTE - i'm sorry if anybodys having issues with language translation - i'm getting some weird packaging errors with roboguice and the internationalization stuff - i'm trying to get this fixed right now
Leko, beam, degree, ETC, barrel, distance, throw, lighting, stage, theatre, calculator, dip switch, dip switch calculator, dmx calculator, dmx, xlr, pinouts, pinout, lee, rosco, gam, gel, color, swatch, comparison
Good, needs improvements. I like this app a lot, as I am a theatre technician this is very useful. But i find the dip switch calculator hard to understand. At a glance I see the white boxes as in the on position, which has led me to turn the opposite switches on. By looking at the on arrow, The squares which turn blue where the white goes up are on which shows the wrong switches on. I'd love for this to be Improved!
Great app. Only thing I feel it needs to be complete is some reference material for dipswitch settings for popular stand-alone LED lights for setting colors, strobes, etc. (for quicker up lighting setups without downloading a ton of manuals.)
Great App - Help for UK Excellent & Helpful App .. Thanks. The Watts2Amps Calc would be better for people in the UK if you could include 240V as as choice for Voltage (the standard here in the UK)....I can get a close approximation using 220V but 240V would be more precise. It would also be great if you could allow user to enter number of fixtures at that Wattage so the total wattage being drawn by, say 4 fixtures @ 650W was displayed (the number of fixtures could default to 1 but allows users to change to any number). Thanks again.
Great reference tool The color calculator and gel swatch features are nice to get an idea, but due to screen variances should only be used as a loose reference. Adding personal gel selections would be a bonus for on-hand gels.
Great app I will give a 5 star if it had Amber along with red blue green. I use mega par qa 38 by American DJ and they have Amber too. Please add Amber.
Iphone version is better So i downloaded this after seeing it on my colleagues iphone and this is definitely not the same. Why is that?
What's New
****Must uninstall old version first****
added rosco gel swatches
added initial metric distances to voltage dropoff - still need common european voltages
started adding internationalization - hitting some issues with roboguice
got rid of phonegap and made the app native again
added gel swatch comparison
added gel list for gam and lee
removed ads since... well ads are lame and we dropped the ball on that last one
Digital Wifi Remote Control for DMX software and Stand Alone DMX interface.
Simple intuitive and beautiful way to control lights via ArtNet or sACN/ E1.31.

There are a lot of places to drink in this city.
If you want to drink liquor, there plenty of bars to down a cheap, watery whiskey ginger, and also probably almost as many where "mixologists" with ironic mustaches will make you a "bespoke" cocktail. If it's beer you're after, you won't have any trouble finding a spot with $2 PBRs, or a place to drink the latest microbrews from Stockholm.
And then there are wine bars. When you think of wine bars, maybe you think of places with red brick walls that advertise their free hummus appetizer on Groupon, right below the laser hair removal. Or maybe you think of the place you went on a date with someone who lectured you about grape varietals.
Fortunately, wine bars don't have to be sad, pretentious, scary places. There's a whole crop of places with great wine, cool vibes, unpretentious service, and often, solid plates of small food. Whether you're meeting a date for drinks, rolling up to the bar solo, or looking for a place to grab a glass of wine before dinner, here are some wine bars that don't suck.
The Spots
The Ten BellsLower East Side
247 Broome St.
The Ten Bells is a great Lower East Side standby. The wine list is made up of all organic and sustainable wines, it's an appealing space, and most importantly: they have an oyster happy hour every day. There's a large menu of mostly Spanish small plates, but eating a full-blown meal here is unnecessary. Stick to the oysters and the wine, and you'll be very pleased.
218 Bowery
If you're on the level where you're starting to geek out about wine a little, this is where you want to be drinking. First and foremost, Rebelle is a large modern French restaurant on Bowery with fancy small plates, but we mostly come here to grab drinks in the large front bar area. The wine list is highly extensive, the bartenders are highly knowledgeable, the space is pretty sexy, and bonus: it's never crowded.
Four HorsemenBrooklyn / Williamsburg
295 Grand St.
The Four Horsemen is a wine bar in Williamsburg owned by LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy, which immediately makes it "cool." For extra cool points, all the wines here are natural, which means they're young wines that don't contain any preservative sulfites. Some people think this gives you less of a hangover - we're not sure, but we know we've enjoyed everything we've drank and eaten here. The space may be small, but whether you're at the bar or a table this is an excellent spot for a date or small group hang. And be sure to talk up your server - these people know what they're talking about.
Terroir TribecaTribeca
24 Harrison St.
Terroir used to have locations all over the city, but this is the only one left aside from a summer-only outdoor High Line outpost. It's a shame, because this place is great. It tends to attract a more corporate crowd due to its location, but it's still relaxed, and the food is excellent. Order the meatballs. You won't regret it.
98 Avenue C
The East Village has plenty of spots for two-for-one drinks, unlimited mimosas at brunch, and sports on TV. Harder to find are comfortable, civilized places for having a nice glass of wine and getting your adult on. Not that this is a stuffy, boring wine bar by any means - all wines are on tap, so if you squint a little you can almost pretend you're at a kegger.
CasellulaHell's Kitchen
401 W. 52nd St.
Casellula is a "cheese and wine cafe," and the order of those words is important. There's nice wine here, but the emphasis is on the cheese - it was started by the guy who used to run the cheese situation at The Modern. It's located in a comfortable little room in Hell's Kitchen, and is probably the best place for a low key drink on this side of town.
ArdesiaHell's Kitchen
510 W. 52nd St.
Located in the ground floor of a condo building, Ardesia is another nice place to drink wine in Hell's Kitchen. The focus is on "mineral-driven" wines (does that make them healthy?), and the food is solid too - get some of those homemade pretzels.
231 Court St
June Wine Bar
Another bar specializing in natural wines is June, a truly excellent neighborhood spot in Cobble Hill. This isn't the kind of place you meet your friend of a friend who wants to network, or your clingy ex-roommate you've been putting off. This is the kind of place you come with people you really like (or for a killer first date), on a night when you don't need to rush. It's comfortable, it's charming, and it's reasonably priced enough that you won't be horrified by your three-hour bill.
422 Hudson St
In some ways, Lelabar is your standard wine bar: candles everywhere, a jazz soundtrack, and an intimidating list of over 200 wines you have to navigate. But there are a few things that make this place a standout. For one, it has an excellent daily Happy Hour during which normally pricey bottles are $28 and glasses are $8. We're also fans of the u-shaped bar setup - should you be feeling social, it lends itself well to chatting with your neighbors, and to get some ordering advice from the friendly and knowledgeable sommeliers.
La Compagnie des Vins SurnaturelsLittle Italy
249 Centre St
Don't worry about the fact that you can't pronounce the name of this place, and get yourself a drink. This French spot on Centre Street from the people who own the Experimental Cocktail Club has a lot of great happy hour offerings, and can suit lots of different situations, whether you want to roll up to the bar solo, sit one-on-one at a table, or need a semi-private room for a bigger group. The wine options are great, as is the wallpaper.
415 Union St
Black Mountain Wine House
Black Mountain Wine House is the mountain cabin of your dreams, smack dab in the middle of Gowanus. If you can't get away from the city for a weekend, this is an excellent second-best escape. Bring a date, get comfortable, and enjoy the cozy yet totally un-cheesy environment.
WildairLower East Side
142 Orchard St.
Wildair is the kind of place that will convince you that the only thing you need for dinner - or in life, really - is a glass of wine and some bread. Which isn't to say that the rest of the food at Wildair isn't great. But at this hip yet casual spot, interesting wines (read: ones we've never heard of), an interesting scene, and interesting conversation go a very long way.
Aldo Sohm Wine BarMidtown
151 W 51st St
Aldo Sohm is admittedly a bit expensive and a bit stuffy, but it is, after all, Le Bernardin's wine bar. If you're looking for an upscale place to meet for drinks (and some great small plates of food), Aldo Sohm is worth checking out.
34 8th Ave
Anfora is the wine bar next door sibling to dell'anima, one of our favorite West Village Italian restaurants. It's a great place to stop in for a drink before dinner, or to meet a friend for wine and cheese. Be warned that as it gets later, things get rowdy. Or at least as rowdy as things can get in a wine bar.

A divorce lawyer helps you if you no longer want to be married. Whether you want a legal separation or the marriage ended, divorce lawyers assist you to arrange financial and family matters, typically in a negotiation with your spouse's lawyer.

Cornerstone's founders looked for innovative solutions to meet the academic needs of today's families by exploring the natural connection between church, school, and home. The school's integration of home study and classroom instruction results in a model that allows parents to enjoy a high level of engagement and accountability in seeing that their children are challenged academically and that their individual educational needs are met.
Classroom study takes place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, while parents may choose to oversee home study with teacher-directed lesson plans on Monday and Thursday or send their children to Monday and/or Thursday school.

However, the Hall of Fame trainer never relied on just one horse –
not even two-time Horse of the Year Cigar – to achieve success.
While Royal Delta's 2013 debut promises to be an electrifying
occasion Sunday, Mott enjoyed a pretty exciting day at Gulfstream on
Saturday, saddling three impressive winners on the card, including
Amira's Prince, who captured the $150,000 Mac Diarmida (G2) by 3 ¾
After saddling Starformer ($5) for a 3 ¼ -length victory in the
$100,000 The Very One (G3) and Emollient ($3) for a ¾ - length triumph
in an allowance race earlier on the card, Mott visited the Gulfstream
Park winner's circle with Amira's Prince ($5.40) for his third victory
in three starts during the current meeting. The Irish-bred 4-year-old
colt had previously raced in Europe before Mott's longtime client Adam
Wachtel invested in a partnership that includes Eclipse Thoroughbred
Partners and Gary Barber.
"We had no idea (how good he would be)," Mott said. "They sent him
over for the Jamaica last fall. We didn't run him. He looked like he
needed more time, so we brought him down here and freshened him up, and
this is the result."
Amira's Prince, who had won allowance races over the Gulfstream turf
course on Dec. 22 and Jan. 19, assumed a good stalking position behind
pacesetter Teaks North around the first turn and along the backstretch.
Without much encouragement from jockey John Velazquez, the son of
Teofilo pulled alongside Teaks North on the turn into the homestretch
before taking the lead at the top of the stretch and drawing away to
"I looked at the race and it didn't look like there was a ton of
speed so I didn't want to be too far back," said Velazquez, who has been
aboard Amira's Prince for all three Gulfstream victories. "He didn't
break all that well and I wanted to ask him a little bit early to get
him up there. From there it all worked out well. He did everything I
Amira's Prince ran 1 3/8 miles over a 'good' turf in 2:17.14. Teaks
North, who was ridden by Edgar Prado, held second, nearly three lengths
ahead of third-place finisher Ioya Bigtime and jockey Jeffrey Sanchez.
Mott will let Amira's Prince tell him when he should return to action.
"They run the Pan American (March 23) here. Whether it would be too
much to run him one more time here I don't know. He ran well over the
course. I guess you've got to be careful this early in the year. There
are a lot of things coming up later on," Mott said. "If he's doing
extremely well….The plan was not originally to run him in this race, but
he was doing so well. I said, 'You know, it would be a shame to keep
the horse in the barn as well as he's doing.' He might be doing as well
as anyone else in the barn, just the way he's been training."

September 2015
OMG the Waimea Canyon is sensational - I would recommend it for this alone! The river tour was very relaxing and a lot of fun and the grotto is beautiful.
February 2014
The tours were excellent! We had very friendly and informative guides which made the experience both fun and educational. Both the canyon and the fern grotto were beautiful. The canyon, of course was spectacular. Having the Hawaiian wedding song and entertainment on the river cruise was fun. The fact that we went back to the ship to eat was fine. It gave us a change to rest for a few minutes and regroup for the second half. All in all a very good double tour.
January 2014
Larry was an excellent guide!
December 2013
Loved this excursion. Doing the Waimea Canyon in the morning - then taking a lunch break back at the ship - and continuing the tour on the river in the afternoon was an excellent idea. It broke up the trip. Wonderful tour guide.
December 2013
Awe inspirering Grand canyon of the Pacific, well worth the bus ride. Commontary was very good as well. The river cruise and fern gardens are also a worthwhile part of the trip. too bad it rained while we were in the fern gardens, but when your in the land that has 600 inches of rain a year what else can you expect.
September 2013
Great tour. Enjoyed the blow hole, Waimea Canyon very beautiful and the Fern Grotto was great. I would highly recommend this tour when visiting Kauai.
July 2013
this tour was brillant and worth every dollar coach on time all staff helpful and most informative even taught us to dance Highly recommended Ann and Mike Henton
June 2013
Great trip. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and professional. We think it is unfair that a few complained and they no longer make a stop for lunch but return to the ship for lunch. Since there were 2 buses on this tour, one should stop for lunch and one could return to the ship. Because Noni was born on the island, she was able to share history of the areas that some of the newer tour guides aren't aware of. We would do the tour again and ask for Noni if she was allowed to make the lunch stop.
February 2013
I have nothing negative to write about this tour. The guides were personable, funny and knowledgeable. We saw more than we expected to see and learned so much about the history and local lore of the island. We had a great time! Money very well spent.
September 2012
Roberts Hawaii has the most knowledge tour guides. I liked that they split this into two tours and had us eat lunch on the cruise ship. Those who bought this tour from the cruise ship paid alot more and the only difference was a box lunch.

Does Gender-Neutral Play Really Equal A "War on Boys"?

Very heavy man has a problem - level 2
29-04-2014 07:00
This story is about a very heavy man. He weighs 300 kilograms and he is just 22 years old. He is from China.
Last week, the man became ill and he could not move himself at home. When an ambulance arrived at his house, paramedics could not move him onto the stretcher. A few other men had to help. He was sent to hospital in critical condition. His kidneys were not functioning.
The man was over 6.5 kilograms heavy when he was born. He has always eaten a lot. He can eat three times more food than a normal person.
Difficult words: paramedic (somebody who does medical work), stretcher (bed for carrying somebody who's injured), critical (serious), kidney (one of the two organs in your lower back which cleans blood).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

Houma: Child Killed in Fatal Dog Attack
A 4-year-old was killed Tuesday night in a fatal dog attack in Houma, according to the Houma Police Department. The incident took place inside the home of Megan Touchet around 7 p.m., when her daughter was suddenly attacked in their living room.
According to Houma Police Chief Todd M. Duplantis, the child was bitten numerous times on the face, shoulders, and back by the pitbull, who weighed 130 pounds. Touchet was able to free her daughter from their dog and call authorities. The victim was taken to the hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.
In a press conference this afternoon, explained that the details of the fatal attack were still murky. "The dog for some odd reason attacked the child," said a shaken Duplantis.
Update, 2:40 p.m.: The victim's family created a GoFundMe account to cover funeral expenses for the victim, Mia DeRouen. 261 people have donated over $13,000.
"The scene was pretty horrific inside the residence," he said.
Duplantis said that at this point, there is "no reason to believe that the owners abused the dog." The attacking dog was taken to a Houma animal shelter and put down, according to police.

Gluten-Free in Amish Country
On this particular trip, we made it into Sugarcreek, Ohio and stopped by a place called Swiss Village Bulk Foods (at 309 S. Broadway, Sugarcreek, OH). Much to my surprise - especially for a store in a town of less than 2200 people, this business had an incredible amount of gluten free baking products and ingredients. They had the most diverse display of Bob's Red Mill products I had ever seen in one place, with flours like teff, rice, brown rice, sorghum, and so on (the ONLY noticeably absent one was Sweet Rice Flour, aka glutinous rice flour - which I use regularly). I picked up some of the Mary's Gone Crackers that I like (and, there are a perfect complement to the various cheeses I had earlier acquired at Heini's Cheese Chalet in Bunker Hill, OH - a favorite being the Bermuda Onion cheese, or the Smoked Hot Pepper cheese (wonderful on homemade nachos, tortillas, or even crackers of course).
The thing that struck me as most surprising with this glutenfree encounter, was of course the setting. Who would have thought that in such a small town, a little bulk foods store would have a rather substantial selection of gluten free baking ingredients and such? Certainly not me. I'm always excited and glad to see gluten free diets get more attention, and it seems that awareness is spreading throughout the population. Our next stop after the bulk foods store was another Amish-themed shop in the area, and even there I ran into some pre-packaged gluten-free pancake mixes and more of the Bob's Red Mill products. So, it was more than just a freak encounter at the first place.
On the way back, I stopped at a Super-Walmart in Wooster, OH, since I heard they may have the new Anheuser Busch gluten-free Sorghum Beer called Redbridge. Sure enough, they did! So, I picked up a 6-pack for a taste test. ($7.99 / six-pack of 12-ounce bottles -- nearly 1/3 less than Bard's Tale) Though I plan to post more about the product, the quick bottom-line is this: excellent! I really enjoyed the beer, and although it is a bit sweeter than some beers I used to like, I really think it is quite like a "real" beer!
It rained for the entire trip on Saturday, and has been raining ever since. In fact, this weather is nothing short of strange for Cleveland in January. We have daffodils emerging from the ground (some are nearing 6" tall already), as well as grape hyacyinth and crocuses. Our lawns are green, and it is anything but a typical mid-winter month here.
The ice storm that pounded the Midwest just missed us to the North and West it seems, so instead we are getting our precipitation as rain (and many a yard look like shallow ponds now). I'm thankful the ice missed us, since it can be utterly devastating to the trees -- we went through that a couple Springtimes ago here. According to the forecasts, our bizarre warm January is to finally switch gears and enter a deep freeze this week, which is probably a good thing overall even though I don't care much for the cold. I've been waiting for some cold weather to do a bit more baking and working on some other gluten free recipes I keep promising to get to. My wait seems about to end.

Hi Mike,
I live in an area with many Amish folks and there is an Amish store not far from my house, so I will put that on my list of places to check out. Thanks.
Sounds like you hit the mother load on your outing. Amish -- Super Wal-Mart, one end of the spectrum to the other. What a wonderful day of it you must have had.
We waited all day to decide whether or not to drive the hour north of us to meet relatives in Rochester, due to the weather warnings we never actually went so our day was homebound, but nice.
Thanks, Mike.

You might find this interesting:
There is (or was) a study being carried out in Lancaster County on Amish and Celiac. They were all (those with positive serology) offered a free (?) upper endoscopy. Must be a lot of Amish with celiac or at least the symptoms to justify a study.

Browsix is our answer to these challenges.
Consumer safety remains our highest priority and we've had overwhelming participation in the U.S. Note7 Refund and Exchange Program so far, with more than 93 percent of all recalled Galaxy Note7 devices returned.
To further increase participation, a software update will be released starting on December 19th that will prevent U.S. Galaxy Note7 devices from charging and will eliminate their ability to work as mobile devices.
One the one hand, it's great these potentially dangerous devices can be rendered inoperable. On the other hand, it's a deeply unsettling - especially in the current US political climate - feeling that devices can just be shut off at a moment's notice.
Basically: not having a headphone jack might not be enough to deter sales of a phone, but it's still really annoying and requires users to spend additional money to reclaim very basic functionality from their devices. And most of that money flows back to the device vendor, effectively increasing the price of the phone. We've taken something simple and universal, and turned it into something complex and proprietary, for no obvious benefits. It's a bad trade-off. It's... user-hostile and stupid. There's just no getting around it.
There's no tangible benefit to ditching the universal 3.5mm jack - whether Apple does it, or Samsung does it, or anyone else does it.
We're months and months into this discussion now, and to this day, nobody - not Apple, not Samsung, not John Gruber, not any commenters anywhere - has given me a real, valid, tangible reason why removing the 3.5mm jack is a good idea. Lightning audio is stupid because only the iPhone/iPad support it (not even Macs come with Lightning ports), and wireless audio is garbage - something even Apple is only now finding out. Those wireless AirPods Apple unveiled to much fanfare? They have been delayed and delayed, and are actually still unavailable, because Bluetooh audio is complete and utter garbage.
It almost feels like removing the 3.5mm jack was a sociological science experiment to determine just how far people were willing to go to defend and rationalise a deeply dumb idea.
Last year I created an account on Twitter to create a targeted feed for my hobby content and tweets for like-minded retro-gaming folk, separate from my personal account. On this hobby account I mainly follow retro-gaming and Commodore fans. When you use Twitter in a very targeted way like this, it actually can be extremely useful and enjoyable. In any event, during this time I began to see a healthy amount of discussion around BBS'es (Bulletin Board Systems) becoming "a thing" again for retro-computing nerds. And, amazingly, a few popular BBSes were being served off of 8-bit machines.
"8-Bitters" were connecting to them, having virtually "off the grid" discussions and playing games outside the watchful eye of Google and the rest of the internet. I wanted to connect to them, too.
The architect of this reorganization - known as "Alphabetization" at the ever-sunny Google - was Ruth Porat, the new chief financial officer. Porat, who was born in England but grew up in Palo Alto, led Morgan Stanley's technology banking division during the first dot-com boom, served as an adviser to the Treasury Department during the bailouts of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and became Morgan Stanley's CFO in 2010. She joined Google in May 2015 with a mandate to bring discipline and focus to a company so awash in cash that it never needed much of either. She instituted rigorous budgeting and, according to people familiar with Alphabet's operations, forced the Other Bets to begin paying for the shared Google services they used. Projects hatched with ambiguous timelines of 10 or more years in some cases had to show a path to profit in half the time.
At most big companies, such financial controls are standard operating procedure, and Alphabet's investors are pleased. Its stock is up 35 percent since Porat joined. But within the Other Bets, Porat's tenure has been controversial, earning her an unflattering nickname: Ruthless Ruth. "She's a hatchet man," says a former senior Alphabet executive. "If Larry isn't excited about something," the executive continues, referring to CEO Page, "Ruth kills it."
I love these stories of problems few of us will ever have to deal with.
It's official: Microsoft is taking another stab at Windows on ARM, but this time around, it seems like they're taking it a lot more seriously. First, in collaboration with Qualcomm, Microsoft has created 32bit win32 emulation for Windows on ARM. This allows all 32bit win32 applications to run on ARM, unmodified. Microsoft showed win32 Photoshop running on an ARM machine. Second, Microsoft seems to be going beyond tablets this time around - they're promising laptops and desktops, too.
And technically, there's nothing stopping them from allowing ARM phones to run win32 applications (e.g. when docked) either. This is something I personally really, really want to see: a phone that can become a full-fledged PC just by connecting it to a display and input devices. While such a device won't be a powerhouse, it'd be great for the kinds of office workloads I'd want it for.
There's no technical details on the implementation of the emulation yet, but look for those to arrive over the coming months.
When the Apple smartphone project started, the key decision was the choice of software engine. Should Apple try to make a 'lite' version of OS X (as it was then known)? Go in a completely new direction?
It appears that a new direction may have been tempting. At the time that Apple's smartphone project began, an Apple employee and former Be engineer offered Palm Inc. $800K for a BeOS "code dump" - just the code, no support, no royalties. The engineer was highly respected for his skill in mating software to unfamiliar hardware; BeOS was a small, light operating system; draw your own conclusion... Palm, which had purchased Be a few years before that, turned him down.
Interesting historical footnote. This would be the second time that Apple tried to buy BeOS. I've been told that while Forstall (who wanted OS X) and Fadell (who wanted the iPod's Pixo) were battling it out, a former Be engineer then working at Apple wanted to prove BeOS was a viable iPhone candidate, and thus tried to buy it. As history knows, Forstall won out, and only after the fact did the Apple engineer inform the higher-ups of what he tried to do. Apparently, this happens more often inside Apple's culture.
An amazing QEMU disk image every day! Brightening your days in the winter holiday season.
This is a great idea.
What's interesting is that there is evidence in the design of an intellectual tension between safety and pushing the boundaries. Samsung engineers designed out all of the margin in the thickness of the battery, which is the direction where you get the most capacity gain for each unit of volume. But, the battery also sits within a CNC-machined pocket - a costly choice likely made to protect it from being poked by other internal components. Looking at the design, Samsung engineers were clearly trying to balance the risk of a super-aggressive manufacturing process to maximize capacity, while attempting to protect it internally.
Fascinating look - with photos - at the (possible) cause of the Galaxy Note 7 fires.
The Supreme Court has overturned Apple's $400 million award in its long-running patent lawsuit against Samsung. Apple won the case in 2012, convincing a federal court that a number of Samsung devices had infringed upon iPhone design patents - including one for a rectangular device with rounded corners and bezels, and another for a home screen comprised of a grid of colorful apps. The Supreme Court's decision today does not reverse Apple's win, but does mean that the case will be returned to the Federal Circuit so that the damages can be reassessed.
Yeah, this thing is still going on.
Here's what you don't want to do late on a Sunday night. You do not want to type seven letters into Google. That's all I did. I typed: "a-r-e". And then "j-e-w-s". Since 2008, Google has attempted to predict what question you might be asking and offers you a choice. And this is what it did. It offered me a choice of potential questions it thought I might want to ask: "are jews a race?", "are jews white?", "are jews christians?", and finally, "are jews evil?"
Are Jews evil? It's not a question I've ever thought of asking. I hadn't gone looking for it. But there it was. I press enter. A page of results appears. This was Google's question. And this was Google's answer: Jews are evil. Because there, on my screen, was the proof: an entire page of results, nine out of 10 of which "confirm" this. The top result, from a site called Listovative, has the headline: "Top 10 Major Reasons Why People Hate Jews." I click on it: "Jews today have taken over marketing, militia, medicinal, technological, media, industrial, cinema challenges etc and continue to face the worlds [sic] envy through unexplained success stories given their inglorious past and vermin like repression all over Europe."
Hatred, lies, and stupidity spread easily on the internet - it's a perfect storm of the ease of technology and - very bluntly put - the stupidity of people. Most people have absolutely no understanding of the scientific method, and lack the basic mental tools to objectively assess information and its source. The end result is swaths of people believing that the moon landings were faked, man-made climate change isn't real, that witches have magical powers and need to be burnt at the stake, or - indeed - that Jews, women (try it!), and so on are "evil", because uncle Jimmy's neighbour's aunt's niece thrice removed posted it on Facebook.
This is a problem that's going to be very tough to solve. Stupid people have always existed - but the internet is new.
Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world's most advanced shopping technology so you never have to wait in line. With our Just Walk Out Shopping experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout. (No, seriously.)
Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Our Just Walk Out technology automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in a virtual cart. When you're done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we'll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.
I find this absolutely fascinating and immensely desirable.
I live in a small rural town in the middle of nowhere, and only very recently did we finally get a brand new supermarket with the latest self-checkout and contactless payment technologies (voted most beautiful supermarket in the country, I might add, and a 73-year old family business - we're proud of our own), and it's just so much more convenient than old-fashioned cash registers. I know a number of people prefer being served by a cashier, but honestly - to me it's just wasted time I could spend on something useful.
In any event, the idea of just taking stuff off the shelves, without even having to scan them or pay for them at a terminal seems like the next logical step. I don't like the idea of online grocery shopping (I want to see how fresh my produce is before buying it), so this is an excellent compromise.
The FireBee is a new Atari-compatible computer. Ataris and Atari-Clones are special computers with their own hard & software. They aren't PC's, Mac's nor Amiga compatible.
A FireBee is similar to an Atari Falcon and works very much like that. It will run most of the Atari compatible software that would run on a Falcon. Different to older Ataris and their clones, the FireBee is a modern computer that supports almost everything you'd expect from a today's machine, like USB ports, Ethernet, DVI-I monitor connector, SD-card reader and more.
This brand-new Atari compatible is not cheap, but much like the current Amiga computers, if you're worried about the price, you're probably not the intended audience. Note that even though the order page says "pre-order", I think that's a typo - you can order them directly from the Swiss company that makes them, too.
I love that people and companies are passionate enough to keep developing, building, and selling machines like this - it's a vital effort to keep platforms alive well into the future.
The Windows' NTFS file system has supported symlinks since Windows Vista. However, it hasn't been easy for Windows developers to create symlinks. In our efforts to continually improve the Windows Developer experience we're fixing this!
Starting with Windows 10 Insiders build 14972, symlinks can be created without needing to elevate the console as administrator. This will allow developers, tools and projects, that previously struggled to work effectively on Windows due to symlink issues, to behave just as efficiently and reliably as they do on Linux or OSX.
Pretty sure a few developers out there are rolling their eyes, sighing 'finally'.
Last month we did a quick exercise aiming to see how far we could get in a few weeks in porting Sailfish OS to a new kind of mobile device, an Android smartwatch. Compared to the competition, Sailfish OS's interaction paradigm is particularly suited for small screens, it being gesture-driven and designed to maximize display estate available for the user content. We also had the watch demo with us as a teaser in Slush 2016 this week, to emphasize to journalists, partners and other people how versatile platform Sailfish OS is. And naturally an implementation like this, could fit nicely also into our licensing strategy.
This looks pretty good, actually, but as an owner of the limited edition version of the Jolla Phone and the incredibly elusive and rare Jolla Tablet - what I want is not more device categories, it's applications.
This has been the platform's number one weakness since its inception, and they seem unwilling to do anything about it.
Late yesterday it was reported by The Information that Fitbit is close to buying wearable startup Pebble, news that has since been independently confirmed by The Verge. Fitbit and Pebble have been in the final stages of the deal since before the Thanksgiving holiday; the buying price has not yet been confirmed. While it ultimately might not be as good of a deal as Pebble would have hoped for, there are a lot of reasons why a Pebble-Fitbit deal makes sense.
Pebble is popular among OSNews readers, so those of you with a Pebble might want to keep an eye out for the future of this possible deal.
Following the feature-rich release in August, with the new version 16.11, Genode's developers took the chance to work on long-standing architectural topics, most prominently the low-level interplay between parent and child components. Besides this low-level work, the release features much improved virtual-networking capabilities. Originally introduced in the previous version, Genode's network-routing mechanism has become more versatile and easier to use. Further topics include the added support for smart cards, kernel improvements of the NOVA hypervisor, and a virtual file system for generating time-based passcodes.
The efficient interaction between user-level components is one of the most important aspects of microkernel-based systems like Genode. The design space for this interplay is huge and there is no widely accepted consensus about the "right" way. The options include message passing between independent threads, the migration of threads between address spaces, shared memory, and various flavours of asynchronous communication.
When the Genode project originally emerged from the L4 community, it was somehow preoccupied with the idea that synchronous IPC is the best way to go. After all, the sole reliance on unbuffered synchronous IPC was widely regarded as the key for L4's excellent performance. Over the years, however, the mindset of the Genode developers shifted away from this position. Whereas synchronous IPC was found to be a perfect match for some use cases, it needlessly complicated others. It turns out that any IPC mechanism is ultimately a trade-off between low latency, throughput, simplicity, and scalability. Finding a single sweet spot that fits well for all parts of an operating system seems futile. Given this realization and countless experiments, Genode's inter-component protocols were gradually shaped towards the combination of synchronous IPC where low-latency remote procedure calls are desired, asynchronous notifications, and shared memory. That said, Genode's most fundamental inter-component communication protocol - the interplay between parent and child components to establish communication sessions between clients and servers - remained unchanged since the very first version. The current release reconsiders the architectural decisions made in the early days and applies Genode's modern design principles to these low-level protocols. The release documentation contrasts the original design that was solely based on synchronous IPC with the new way. Even though the new version overcomes long-standing limitations of the original design, at the first glance, it gives the impression to be more complicated and expensive in terms of the number of context switches. Interestingly, however, the change has no measurable effect on the performance of even the most dynamic system scenarios. The apparent reason is that the parent-child interactions make up a minuscule part of the overall execution time in real-world scenarios.
Even though the architectural work mentioned above is fundamental to the Genode system as a whole, it is barely visible to users of the framework. With respect to user-visible changes, the most prominent improvement is the vastly improved infrastructure for virtual networking, which is covered in great detail in the release documentation. Further topics are the added support for using smart cards, a new VFS plugin for generating time-based passcodes, and updated versions of VirtualBox 4 and 5 running of top of NOVA. Speaking of NOVA, the release improves this kernel in several respects, in particular by adding support for asynchronous map operations. Each of the topics is covered in more depth in the release documentation.
There's a rumour going around that Oracle is close to ending all development of Solaris, effectively killing the operating system.
Solaris being canned, at least 50% of teams to be RIF'd in short term. All hands meetings being cancelled on orders from legal to prevent news from spreading. Hardware teams being told to cease development. There will be no Solaris 12, final release will be 11.4. Orders coming straight from Larry.
It's just rumours for now, but they've been gaining steam over the past few days.
Back in May, we heard that HMD Global - a new mobile company made up of ex-Nokia staffers - is looking to use the Nokia name to manufacture smartphones running Android as well as feature phones. Today, HMD has announced that it has secured exclusive licensing rights to Nokia's branding for 10 years.
The first batch of Android smartphones bearing the Nokia name will make their debut in the first half of 2017.
HMD is a Finnish company staffed with ex-Nokia people, so it makes sense they'd be working together on this. Hopefully this means Nokia can focus on what it does best - the backend - while the smaller, more nimble HMD san focus on making great phones.
The pre-release version of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition Update #1 is an official update to AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition released by Hyperion Entertainment in 2014. It is the combined result of many many years of effort by the core AmigaOS developers, translators and beta testers and includes a number of bug fixes and updates to the original AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition release.
The naming and versioning system could use some work.

Request the resignation of Superintendent Dr. Casey Wardynski immediately!
In light of the opinion by the Federal Court in regards to the Hereford v. Huntsville City Schools desegregation case, which states that Superintendent Dr. Casey Wardynski's testimony concerning the Department of Justice "non-communicative" approach to mediation was, in the judge's words, "not credible when compared to the record;" In light of the blatant disregard Dr. Wardynski has for parents, students and citizens concerning transparency as evident in the comments made by Federal Judge Haikala: "The Court strongly suspects that the district has chosen not to share many of the reasons for the choices that it made as it shaped its student assignment plan." In light of the hostile working environment that Dr. Wardynski has created which has resulted in at least 735 people choosing to leave employment with the district since August 2011; In light of the declining standards of education that we are seeing in our finest schools as the district transitions to teaching nearly exclusively mathematics and English Language Arts; We the undersigned respectfully request that the Huntsville City Schools Board of Education request the resignation of Dr. Casey Wardynski as superintendent effective immediately.
