The Tools Panel (shown above) might be displayed as one or more columns of icons. If you do not see the Tools Panel, either change your Workspace or open the Tools Panel by clicking Window > Tools. The panel will be grayed out if no document is open.
In this section, you will have a chance to practice with some of the most important tools. Of course, as the Lessons progress, you will be introduced to other tools as well as the ones covered in this section.
Relax and feel free to experiment with the drawing tools with no worries about how it looks. Just focus on getting the feel of the tools.
With a new blank document open, select the Rectangle Tool () by single-clicking on it. To draw a rectangle on the stage, left-click and drag from one corner to another, releasing the mouse once the desired shape is achieved.
A rectangle will appear with the two colors shown at the bottom of the Tools Panel . The Stroke Color will be the line on the outside and the Fill Color on the inside. Notice that there is a pencil next to the Stroke Color and a paint bucket next to the Fill Color. Keep in mind as we look at the other tools that paint always refers to fills and a pencil always refers to the stroke.
The Selection Tool () is the black arrow. Selection Tool is the most common tool used to select any item on the Stage or Timeline. Back to our example, once your rectangle is created, single-click on the Selection Tool, then single-click on the edge of the shape, also known as the Stroke. One side of the rectangle will be selected (see graphic on right).
Double-click on the edge of the shape and the entire stroke will be selected.
The Selection Tool can also be used to alter shapes. Roll your mouse around the edges of your rectangle. The mouse icon changes as you pass over a corner or a straight section. With the Rectangle deselected, click on a corner and drag it. Now, click on a side of the rectangle and drag it. Did you change the rectangle? Remember, you may always Edit > Undo any steps you wish to take back as you experiment.
The Stroke is the line on the outside of your rectangle (if you have one). The Fill (again, if you have one) is the color on the inside. All Shapes in Flash are made up of strokes and/or fills. The Rectangle Tool can create both strokes and fills. Some tools will only create one or the other. In order to learn about strokes and fills, you may practice with your own rectangle drawing or you may open ours saved as DrawingTools/demos/StrokesFills.fla.
Try to squish or stretch the shapes by clicking and dragging on the edges As you can see, the fill will expand to fill the complete area inside the stroke.
The shapes created above were created in Merge Mode. The name comes from the fact that all the shapes in merge mode can merge with each other. Try it! Drag one rectangle onto a second. Then, click on a blank part of the stage (to deselect). Like colors will merge together and different colors will chop holes in each other!
Object Drawing Mode, on the other hand, places the stroke and fill into a special kind of group called a Drawing Object. With the Rectangle Tool selected, you may turn on Object Drawing Mode by clicking on the small circle at the bottom of the Tools Panel while you have the Rectangle Tool selected.
The following demo is saved as DrawingTools/demos/MergeModeDrawMode.fla.
Open the Properties Inspector then single-click on the green circle on the left. Notice the Properties Panel shows the fill is a shape.
Next you will single-click on the green circle on the right. The Properties Panel shows the circle is a Drawing Object. This means it will not merge with another shape. If you drag it onto the other green circle, it will not create a hole. Notice the blue line that surrounds it on the stage, this is an indicator of it being a Drawing Object.
If you double-click on a drawing object, everything else on the stage will be grayed out. You will be editing the shapes that make up the drawing object.
Notice near the top of the screen that the words "Drawing Object" just appeared next to the name of your Scene. You are now editing this object. To go back to the main stage, click on "Scene 1".
The Pencil Tool () is used to draw a stroke freehand with your mouse. It can be difficult to accurately draw with the mouse. But, when the Pencil Tool is selected you will see an option at the bottom of the Tools Panel for Straighten, Smooth, or Ink. These options change how your line is drawn.
The Line Tool () also creates a stroke. But, it creates only straight lines. Of course, after the line is drawn you may adjust it in any way that you may adjust a stroke.
The Free Transform Tool () and the Transform Panel (available under Window > Transform) are both used to stretch, squish, rotate or otherwise change an object shape on the stage. With the Free Transform Tool selected, the bounding box around your selection will have handles to drag and modify the shape.
The Transform Panel is used to change dimensions numerically. For example, reduce the width and height to 50% of the original size.

Why is your new book about philanthropists?
There is a new breed of Brits that have made big money by middle life and still have energy to spare. Until now people haven't felt they had enough money until the end of their life. But there is a new generation of successful capitalists who have more money than they need.
Why are rich Britons becoming more benevolent?
They are increasingly conscious that we are living in an age of affluence but that economic growth increases the gap between rich and poor. They are concerned about this.
What do the new breed of philanthropists share?
They are business entrepreneurs, focused and passionate about what they do. They want to see results - this is not about writing cheques. They are doing what they did in the business world.
What skills are required to be a successful philanthropist?
You need to be able to find the right opportunity where your money will make a difference, and to be able to find a way to make your project sustainable, either by going into partnership with, say, government, or by charging fees. For example, the top two storeys of [philanthropist] Mo Ibrahim's breast cancer clinic in Khartoum will be rented out as luxury office suits.
How do you measure philanthropic success?
By tangible outcomes, such as how many houses built; how many computers shipped; how many lives improved. It is not about how much money you dish out.
How do you manage philanthropy?
The 23 philanthropists in the book set things up. They don't manage. So the key is to find a very good manager and other good people, often taken from your own business, to run your philanthropic operations.
What are the potential pitfalls for new philanthropists?
There is an initial burst of enthusiam, then the money runs out and they're off somewhere else.
What's your best management advice?
Get the right people in the right place at the right time.
You are many people's management guru, but who is yours?
My wife, for her common sense.

Kohima College - KC
Kohima College was established on the 9th August 1967. Till then, there was no college in Kohima offering studies in the branch of Humanities. Feeling the urgent need of such a college to meet the aspirations of the upcoming youth, in particular the local youths to pursue higher education at a cheap cost and within their own hometown, four large hearted persons of Kohima Village, Dr. Neilhouzü Kire, Dr. Satuo Sekhose, Mr. Vibeilie Solo and Mr. Vilalhoulie Belho rose to the occasion and lit the torch of Kohima College, the first private college in the capital city of Nagaland. With the launching of the college, classes were run in the evenings in the old Middle English School which was located partly in the old college site and that of the present Union Baptist Church. In 1969 the college was asked to vacate the school building whereupon classes were shifted to an old dilapidated primary school building in Mission Compound. In 1971, the college was allowed back to the Middle School and soon the school building along with the site was allotted to the College. Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu, a member of the Governing Body of the College and then Minister of Education, Govt. of Nagaland, was instrumental in negotiating this settlement solving the dilemma of inadequacy of space.
Why join Kohima College

During my adolescence I was the only boy in my class who had to wear a paper bag for school photographs. This was because of the acne.
It was so bad a pizza boy tried to deliver me, and it was with great difficulty that I persuaded him that my nose was not a pepperoni slice.
I tried acne creams but they evaporated on contact. It was also difficult to learn to shave when the mirror kept shattering.
My only friend at this time was my dog. He never ran away when he looked at me, or fell over and expired like my ill-fated rabbit.
This was because he was blind. His name was Rex.
I would take Rex out for walks; I would walk along the pavement, and he would walk into walls and lamp-posts. He was a bit of a babe magnet, was Rex; unfortunately, both he and the babes were negatively charged.
When I was fifteen, I had a girlfriend for two weeks. Then she chewed through the chains and escaped. It was then I began to see the merits of a life of celibacy.
I decided to become a monk.

It's highly likely to be something shady. The police are often quite interested in license plate tags and descriptions from such encounters. BTDT, and in a couple instances it turned out to lead to folks who had a long history of burglaries.
As for the risk of such folks "interviewing" you as a possible mark, sure ... why not? Since you don't know them, you don't owe them anything other than your attention span in terms of maintaining your safety and security. Be pleasant, sure, but be circumspect, 'cause it could be anything.

Dope Thoughts With David Banner - Vol. II
ByValencia Joseph
Last week, David Banner began taking over ASPiRE's airwaves and digital platforms to welcome and celebrate the premiere of the new season of ABFF Independent. In the spirit of of ASPiRE's month-long Banner takeover, we share more "dope thoughts" and "Banner-isms" with all fans of the network, but especially David's. We hope you are having as much of a blast getting to know David, as we are bringing it to you. Sit back and take it all in, as he shares intimate opinions, points of view and feelings about a variety of topics. Music is a topic David knows a little something about, so we probed a bit about what makes his most recent music project so dope.
David Banner – Inside Out – THE GOD BOX
David talks passionately about his latest project, album "The God Box," telling us why it's a hip hop collector's must have. "The God Box is a thesis to the life of a rapper. I come from a place where you had to dig and reach for hip hop…I had to find hip hop, I had to work to be a part of it and it gave me more respect. I think you can hear that in the music. I'm dope, so it's up to you." He adds, "Most importantly, lyric for lyric, beat for beat, concept for concept, I don't think there's another album in this time frame that speaks to what's going on in the streets. The God Box reflects what the people want and what, I believe, the people need."
The Banner-ism… Get "The God Box" in your life!
David Banner – Inside Out – David's Hidden Talents:
We know David is a talented musician, rapper and producer, but we wanted to know what his hidden talents are… those things he's good at that we don't see on camera or hear in his music… those things he does very well in private times, when no one is looking. After pondering a moment about his hidden talents, a huge grin comes across David's face and he starts to share, "As big as I am, I can tumble and do back flips very well." ASPiRE is pretty sure, that's not what readers thought he was going to say first. However, he adds, "also, I have an amazing way of keeping a smile on a young lady's face." Can't dispute this statement as he reveals more, "that's a talent that most men don't possess – and I'm awesome at it!" Just let that marinate, ladies.
The Banner-ism… Be awesome at something—and proclaim it!
If you didn't catch last week's "ABFF Independent" episode, make it up to us and don't sleep on this week's episode. Make sure to watch or set your DVR, Thursdays at 9 PM Eastern. For more dope "Banner-isms" and videos, follow us on Twitter and Instagram where David has taken over and be sure to come back next week as Dope Thoughts with David Banner continues… only on ASPiRE.tv!

Trained by Henry Cecil and ridden by Tom Queally, Twice Over completed a memorable afternoon for the Warren Place team after their earlier victory with Frankel in the Dewhurst.
Twice Over was sent off the 7-2 second-favourite under Queally and the result barely looked in doubt after he kicked for home, with Vision D'Etat in second and long-time leader Debussy back third.
Debussy set the early pace but William Buick took the field along at a sedate rate, which did not help Godolphin's Poet's Voice who refused to settle at all in second.
There were plenty of others racing keenly in behind too but Twice Over was always swinging along nicely for Queally, who made his move over a furlong out. Debussy tried his best to hang on but Twice Over had far too much ammunition and it was left to 3-1 favourite Vision D'Etat to chase him down.
However, the French raider had no reply to Cecil's charge who came home a length and three-quarters clear with a further three-quarters of a length back to Debussy.
Queally said: "Henry gets them here 100% right and my job is easy. It's worked out today, it's been amazing. This horse has had a lot of near-misses and it's great he's come up trumps today. It's great for the horse and great for Henry. It's a magnificent day."
Cecil added "I was very pleased with him going into it and it's lovely when things go right. He'll have a nice rest now and hopefully we'll have a go at the Dubai World Cup again. It's a race I'd like to win for the Prince (Khalid Abdullah, owner)."

Pentagon Freezing Construction As Bush Reviews Arms Priorities
By ANDREW ROSENTHAL, Special to The New York Times
Published: January 25, 1990
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24— The Pentagon today imposed a three-month freeze on military construction, and President Bush said he would submit a new budget to Congress next week that would begin to ''restructure America's defenses in the wake of the dramatic changes'' in Europe.
At a news conference, Mr. Bush also denounced a proposal by Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York to cut Social Security taxes. And the President announced that he would support a Congressional proposal to elevate the Environmental Protection Agency to a Cabinet department.
The construction freeze, ordered by Defense Secretary Dick Cheney in a memorandum to senior Pentagon officials, halts all new military construction projects and modifications to existing contracts. It is intended to give the Pentagon time to revise its future construction plans but is unlikely to save much money now.
Plans to Close More Bases
In addition to the temporary freeze, a Pentagon official said, Mr. Bush will present Congress on Monday with a ''hefty'' list of bases he wants to close, most likely including some Air Force and Army bases in Germany. The list goes beyond the 86 bases already being closed or scaled back under last year's Congressional order. It is not known how many more bases the Pentagon will ask Congress to shut down.
Directed by Mr. Bush to begin cutting Pentagon spending, Mr. Cheney on Jan. 13 ordered a moratorium on hiring in the Defense Department through Oct. 1 that is expected to eliminate 50,000 jobs out of a work force of 1.05 million civilians.
Mr. Bush also plans other management changes at the Pentagon, which he has not detailed. Officials have said those changes would save $2.3 billion in the Defense Department budget in the fiscal year 1991, which begins Oct. 1. Pentagon officials have said the military budget would total $295 billion, or a decrease of 2 percent from the current fiscal year after inflation is taken into account.
Hopes to Head Off Congress
The President's comments, and the Pentagon's actions so far, seem largely intended to head off Congressional efforts to dictate a new military strategy and tell the Pentagon how it should restructure American forces. Administration officials hope to avoid reductions in Pentagon spending beyond cuts already incorporated into their proposed fiscal 1991 budget.
Mr. Bush opened the selling campaign for that budget at his news conference today with his comments on military strategy and by calling the Social Security tax cut proposed by Mr. Moynihan, Democrat of New York, a ''sleight of hand'' that would end up producing an increase in other taxes.
Although he said an alternative proposal was ''worthy of consideration,'' Mr. Bush stopped short of endorsing a measure by Representative John Porter, Republican of Illinois.
Mr. Moynihan has proposed reducing the Social Security tax by $62 billion over the next two years to eliminate a surplus in the retirement fund. Mr. Porter today proposed continuing to deduct the Social Security tax from paychecks but refunding the money at the end of each year in the form of a payment to a retirement savings account in the taxpayer's name.
Both the Moynihan and the Porter proposals would end the practice of using the Social Security surplus to offset the Federal budget deficit.
Mr. Bush's comments today drew immediate fire from Mr. Moynihan on the Senate floor. ''I rise for a painful purpose,'' he said, ''to state my disappointment with the remarks made by the President this morning.'' Mr. Moynihan said using the Social Security surplus to offset the budget deficit is ''embezzlement.''
Mr. Bush also endorsed making the Environmental Protection Agency a Cabinet department, saying he was convinced ''that the environmental challenges that face America and the world are so important that they must be addressed from the highest level of our Government.''
Foreshadows Speech and Budget
Mr. Bush's news conference foreshadowed the State of the Union Message he will deliver next Wednesday to a joint session of Congress and the budget he will submit on Monday, and was part of a new approach his Administration is taking.
Rather than use the State of the Union Message as a detailed, summary of his major pieces of proposed legislation and of the new budget, Mr. Bush will focus on broader themes, officials said.
Before he speaks, three of the most complicated portions of his new budget will be presented by top Administration officials: William J. Bennett, the Federal narcotics chief, will unveil a new anti-drug abuse program on Thursday; Mr. Cheney will present the military budget on Monday, and Treasury Secretary Nicholas F. Brady will offer new initiatives on family savings on Tuesday.
The speech will also be shorter than average; the current draft, officials said, runs less than 30 minutes. The speech usually lasts 45 minutes to an hour.
Details of Freeze
In his memorandum to heads of the military departments today, Mr. Cheney froze all new military construction contracts and any options on existing contracts until April 30, 1990, unless they are required by law or international treaty or to comply with base closings ordered by Congress last year.
Mr. Cheney said the freeze would give the Pentagon time to review its spending plans ''in light of the coming changes in force structure and disposition of the U.S. armed forces.'' He also ordered top Pentagon officials to review all their building plans.
The current military budget includes $8 billion for thousands of construction projects around the world, ranging from major bases to childrens' day care centers. It is always one of the most politically ticklish parts of the military budget, since it involves the future of bases that are an important source of income in Congressional districts and the direction of United States foreign policy.
Mr. Bush said the 1991 Pentagon budget ''begins the transition to a restructured military, a new strategy that is more flexible, more geared to contingencies outside of Europe while continuing to meet our inescapable responsibility to NATO and to maintaining the global balance.''
Mr. Bush's comments drew quick criticism from Congressional Democrats.
''If there is a strategy in what we've seen of the 1991 defense budget, it's so sophisticated that we can't detect it,'' said Representative Patricia Schroeder, the Colorado Democrat who heads the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Military Installations and Facilities. ''Perhaps it's a new stealth strategy,'' she said.
Representative Les Aspin, Democrat of Wisconsin, who heads the House Armed Services Committee, said, ''President Bush is finally saying we need a new defense strategy for new times, but it still looks like the Administration is writing the budget first and drafting the strategy later.''

The golf coach Bob Torrance has died at the age of 82, his son Sam has confirmed.Torrance Sr was best known for his work with two-times Open champion Padraig Harrington, who he tutored to both his Claret Jugs in 2007 and 2008.
Torrance had cancer for some time and son Sam, a European Tour veteran and the 2002 Ryder Cup captain, announced he had passed away on Twitter.
"Sad day my dad just passed away peacefully in his sleep #reallygoingtomisshim," he said.
Ian Poulter, playing in the Open, tweeted: "Really sad news Bob Torrance just passed away. An amazing man who coached so many great players. He will be missed."
As well as Harrington, Torrance also coached his son and Paul McGinley among a host of others, but will be best remembered for his work with the former, who once described his coach as a "genius".
The pair were so close that Harrington used to stay at the family home in Largs with Torrance and his wife, June, and following his first Open victory at Carnoustie the Irishman rang his mentor within 30 minutes of walking off the 18th green.
"Bob is the best swing coach in the world," Harrington said after successfully defending his title at Birkdale in 2008.
"You can see his genius in the way he can analyse any swing. He's spent his whole life examining the golf swing and his knowledge of cause and effect is just incredible."
Torrance, well known for putting long hours into his craft, was also known for speaking his mind and once lambasted former pupil Marc Warren, claiming he was more concerned with "big flats and Aston Martins" than developing his game.
Torrance was also a keen disciple of Ben Hogan and used to visit the nine-times major winner at his home in Fort Worth, Texas.

The game of golf has driven a lot of innovation over the years, such as wooden clubs giving way to graphite shafts. Golf games for the PC are about to experience their own revolution, with boxed titles shipped on DVDs yielding to a new model.
EA Sports` new game Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Online, or TWO, was released in April 2010 for online only, playable strictly through your favorite browser. To stay fresh, servers dish up additional courses, multiplayer tournaments and a steady stream of new features.
This title lets you take your golf game on the road, complete with 3D graphics. Users should encounter the usual great experience on a high-end desktop, but that`s to be expected. The game will also shine on a good laptop as well as on mobile Internet devices, such as netbooks. Looking equally good on all three platform levels is a trick that is completely new to PC gaming and worth diving into a little deeper.
Getting Into the Cloud
EA`s Greg Rinaldi, the game`s producer, says building an online golf game was a challenge, but the company didn`t want to appeal to only desktop systems. "Our goal with TWO is to provide an experience that is accessible from pretty much any machine that users will be accustomed to," he says. "We`re targeting some of the very lower-end and very higher-spectrum PCs."
It hasn`t been easy. For the netbook, they found that the single-core processors lacked the processing power compared with that of a standard laptop or desktop machine and had trouble doing some of the heavy mathematical computations because they can`t divide up the work, Rinaldi says.
EA Sports spent the most development time on graphics optimization. "Our engineers set things up so that when somebody runs the game for the first time, we can identify if they use integrated graphics," Rinaldi says. "We can identify the model of the card or determine the chip set and then customize delivery of the graphic settings to give them the best possible experience."
New Standard for PC Golfing
Like a dedicated golfer practicing tee shots into the wee hours, EA Sports completed multiple rounds of beta testing for TWO. More than 15,000 potential customers put those early builds to the test, and EA Sports handled thousands of suggestions from enthusiastic players to keep tweaking the title to perfection. A lot of testing concentrated on multiplayer tournaments, avatar configuration and career-building via cash-for-objectives. For example, a $2,500 bonus for the first eagle can quickly translate into swing lessons, equipment upgrades or designer clothes.
Once an online presence is established, you can quickly repeat the installation on any other machines you hope to use in order to knock out a few rounds. You could literally start a course in the morning on your desktop in your home office, get in a couple more rounds if your commute includes Wi-Fi for your laptop, finish the front nine during your lunch break and make it into the clubhouse after dinner.
The game features stunning 3D reproductions of several world-class championship courses, such as Pebble Beach, TPC Sawgrass, Sheshan Golf & Country Club, St. Andrews Links, Wolf Creek and Wentworth (West Course). EA Sports plans to add new courses regularly to keep the game fresh.
Because the game`s primary content resides on EA Sports` servers, updates to the subscription service will be easy to deliver and manage. Most online-savvy consumers are already comfortable with music and movies available to anyone with decent bandwidth. Game publishers can now overcome the static nature of a disk-based, shrink-wrapped product that gets stale on the shelf by harnessing the proven power of browser-based content. Rinaldi thinks TWO is on track toward fulfilling a long-held dream for developers: to reach multiple platforms at once. He believes this kind of online gaming is here to stay.

Cisco Systems' (CSCO) turnaround story could be on hold.
The global leader in computer networking equipment on Wednesday edged analyst views for profit and revenue in its fiscal third quarter as its business stabilized less than a year after launching an internal restructuring effort.
But shares fell more than 8% in after-hours trading when the company detailed flat sales in its routing and Web collaboration businesses coupled with a weak outlook for its fourth quarter.
Cisco's core business of Ethernet switches, routers and other equipment used by companies to route email, videos and other electronic data continues to be the company's foundation for growth, says John Slack, an analyst for Caris & Co.
"Those businesses are recovering," he said. "They keep kind of nudging along."
Cisco's restructuring plan, which included revamping products, has helped facilitate the turnaround, says Shaw Wu, analyst for Sterne Agee & Leach.
"They fixed the business," he said. "Their product lines were getting a little long in the tooth and they refreshed them and made them more cost effective, which allows them to price more aggressively without impacting the margins."
In the quarter, Cisco reported a per-share profit, minus items, of 48 cents vs. 42 cents in the year-ago period and 47 cents in the prior quarter. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected 47 cents.
Revenue reached $11.6 billion, up 7% vs. $10.86 billion in the year-ago period and up slightly from $11.52 billion in Q2. Analysts had expected $11.57 billion.
For the current quarter, Cisco expects a per-share profit, minus items, of 44 cents to 46 cents, vs. 40 cents in the year-ago quarter. Analysts had been modeling for 49 cents.
Revenue is expected to be 2% to 5% better than its Q4 revenue of $11.19 billion last year. Analysts had been looking for $11.99 billion.
During a conference call with analysts Wednesday, Cisco CEO John Chambers was upbeat about Q3 results. "We believe our vision and strategy are working," he said.
But, at the same time, Chambers said the company remains concerned about a "cautious environment" marked by an uncertain global economy, particularly in Europe and India.
Shares ended Wednesday at 18.78, up a fraction, before falling after hours.
Last quarter, switching revenue reached $3.64 billion vs. $3.48 billion in the year-ago quarter.
Revenue from the company's routing systems was $2.14 billion vs. $2.15 billion in its Q3 last year.
Cisco's video collaboration services revenue was flat at $1 billion.
Smaller but emerging pieces of Cisco's portfolio showed growth.
Revenue from Cisco's service provider video unit reached $1 billion vs. $898 million in the year-ago quarter.
Cisco's overall growth depends on larger and smaller segments showing improvement, says FBN Securities analyst Shebly Seyrafi.
"Switching and routing combined are about half of overall revenue and those segments are growing in around midsingle digits and what gets them to 7% growth are areas like collaboration and service provider video — those segments have been drivers for the company," he said.
The company's wireless revenue also climbed to $425 million vs. $353 million in Q3 last year.
Revenue from security services increased to $345 million vs. $316 million a year ago. Cisco's revenue from its data center business also jumped to $291 million vs. $173 million in last year's Q3.

Twitter and SoundCloud Followers Lift Your Social Media Reputation

In the following paragraphs we'll recommend effective strategies to utilize high-quality subject matter for your tweets, and how to increase your followers on Twitter. There are several techniques to organically grow your marketing base, but it can also help to buy followers on Twitter too.
People refer to this kind of content sharing as the "insider's perception of your organization," where you have the chance to present updates regarding the jobs and work you are directly part of.

Deliver viewers or enthusiasts an internal look into your organization. If you're wondering how to buy Twitter followers, you don't have to concern yourself with that here as this insider info type of approach doesn't involve buying followers. Instead, you'll be gaining followers, over time, from people who are interested in this kind of "secret" stuff.
Take into account the requests your customers and prospective buyers asked you earlier this work week. Or maybe you have the recurring problems you may have undoubtedly taken care of on the frequently asked questions page of your site. To begin, come up with a range of questions, and deal with them in your tweets one after the other — paying specific attention to the most important at this point. For example, consider in season questions, present prices and offers, marketing promotions and product or service sales or commonly asked how-to's within your market and industry. Store the list and add on it as you go along. Anything you do not use this week could make more meaning a little while from today. This approach works best for a business of some size, but it can be used somewhat effectively even if your a consultant or one-many consultation agency (you can check out www.survivalistmagazine.net for more on this).

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the history of ideas
October 11th, 2012
Episode 238 of 546 episodes
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the life and achievements of Hannibal. One of the most celebrated military leaders in history, Hannibal was the Carthaginian general who led an entire army, complete with elephants, across the Alps in order to attack the Roman Republic. He lived at a time of prolonged hostility between the two great Mediterranean powers, Rome and Carthage, and was the Carthaginians' inspirational leader during the Second Punic War which unfolded between 218 and 202 BC. His career ended in defeat and exile, but he achieved such fame that even his enemies the Romans erected statues of him. Centuries later his tactical genius was admired and studied by generals including Napoleon and Wellington. With: Ellen O'Gorman Senior Lecturer in Classics at the University of Bristol Mark Woolmer Senior Tutor in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Durham Louis Rawlings Senior Lecturer in Ancient History at Cardiff University.

Category: Christmas names for girls
By Linda Rosenkrantz
When you're looking for a name for a Christmastime babe, you can go the obvious route with Noel and Noelle, Mary or Merry, or you could consider a more subtle reference. Here are Nameberry's 2016 picks of 12 great not-quite-under-the-mistletoe yuletide names.
If you're expecting a baby anytime during the end-of-year holidays, you can't help but at least muse on the idea of using a holiday-themed name.
Christmas baby names are the most obvious choices, as familiar among people of all faiths as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: Nicholas and Noel, Holly and Ivy and Merry.
Less widely-known are names that connect to other December holidays. Names that mean light, such as Zohar and Eleora, relate to Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. Kwanzaa names include Nia and Imani.
And New Year's baby names range from Aurora to January.
There are names that announce the holidays loud and clear: Solstice, say, or Christmas or Holiday. Or you might prefer names that reference the holiday season more subtly: Hope, for instance, or Balthazar.
Alonzo was the name of both the father and the brother (both called by nickname Lon) in the Smith family in this "Have yourself a merry little Christmas" flick, "Meet Me in St. Louis," starring Judy Garland. This dashing Latinate name, which has always ranked in the Top 1000, is ready for wider use. Don't like Lon? You can call me Al.

Rainbow tries the Circus Part 2
Okay, so here is how things got messed up. Yellow was tight roping and fell. Black and Red tried to catch her but they ran into eachother and went unconsious. Yellow, still falling landed on Pink who was in the lions den. Blue tried to get out of the cannon to go try and save Pink and Yellow, but Purple wasn't paying attention and lighted the cannon, while Blue was half way out of it and Blue was shot almost straight out of the story but luckly, the narrator caught her and put her back in her house. Orange was running around trying to set things right when Gray was reluctantly twirling batons and one slipped out of his reach and landed on Oranges head, which knocks him out too.
Now everything is up to Gray, unless Blue shows up. Gray runs to the lions den and throws Yellow and Pink out of the way and locks up the lions. He looks around to find that nothing was troubling for. Unless you count all the headaches that will be going around.
The Next Day
" I say this end goes over there to that end!" whined Pink, pointing northeast. Everyone was rubbing their bums and heads from yesterday and started to fold the striped tent.
"Wait guys!" yelled Purple, "Green is still inside the tent!" They all groaned with annoying frustration or pain. Sooner or later they got Green out and folded the tent and put it away in Oranges garage.

The University of Toronto has inched back into the world's top 20 universities in the latest global rankings from Times Higher Education, but several other Canadian schools have slipped down the tables. Canada's top-ranked schools held their ground in this year's World University Rankings, with the U of T moving up one spot to 20th place, and the University of British Columbia and McGill University both losing a single place, coming in 31st and 35th respectively. But McMaster University, Canada's fourth-ranked school, lost four places and wound up 92nd, while the University of Victoria fell out of the top 200 after placing 196th a year ago. Overall, this year's rankings continue the trend of East Asian universities rising through the ranks, though "it's quite considerably less marked this year, it's less dramatic," said Phil Baty, editor of the rankings. Last year, the presidents of the U of T and McGill issued a call to action, suggesting Canada's top schools needed to be funded at a level that would keep them competitive or risk falling behind in relative terms. But Mr. Baty said the performance of Canada's top schools this year has "defied the gloom last year that suggested there was a downward trend." "Perhaps there is a slight sense there is the best and the rest emerging here, so you've got [U of T, UBC and McGill] making the top 40 quite comfortably, but you've got McMaster falling away," he said. After three years using the same methodology, the Times Higher Education rankings show signs of stabilizing. The California Institute of Technology again came in first overall, and the same schools made the top 10, though their order shuffled slightly. "The top 30 is very, very stable," Mr. Baty said. But there are still swings in position that can seem puzzling. Last year, l'Université de Montréal surged into the global top-100, rising 20 places to 84th. This year, it fell right back to 106th due to "modest decreases" in scores across several areas, mostly noticeably around reptuation, Mr. Baty said. Yet in the separate QS World University Rankings, released last month using a different methodology based more heavily on reputation, the U de Montréal rose 22 places. The university's slip in this year's Times Higher Ed tables "doesn't necessarily mean they've gotten worse, it just means that others have improved more rapidly," Mr. Baty said by way of explanation, adding, "Around the 100 mark, it does get pretty tight in terms of data." The University of Alberta got some welcome news, rising from 121st to 109th in a year when the Alberta government cut the school's funding by 7.1 per cent, setting up a year of deep austerity and further cutbacks to come. But the upward move may prove temporary, as much of the data for this year's rankings was collected before the spring budget cuts, and some financial data can date back as far as 2011. "There's a little bit of a time lag," Mr. Baty said. Universities in the U.S. continue to dominate the rankings, with 77 in the top 200, followed by the U.K. with 31. No other school had more than 12, and Canada had seven. Canadian University rankings, 2012-13 to 2013-14 University of Toronto / 21 to 20, +1 University of British Columbia / 30 to 31, –1 McGill University / 34 to 35, –1 McMaster University / 88 to 92, –4 Université de Montréal / 84 to 106, –22 University of Alberta / 121 to 109, +12 University of Ottawa / 171 to 185, –14 University of Calgary / (226-250) to (201-225) Laval University / (226-250) to (201-225) University of Victoria / 196 to (201-225) http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/ Source: Education News

Teddy RuxpinLast updated Saturday at 1:52
Teddy Ruxpin – The Talking Bear
Teddy Ruxpin has been entertaining us since September of 1985 and has been manufactured by several different companies. Eventually the toy rights were purchased by Hasbro, who are known for making wonderful toys for children. Teddy was sold by Hasbro under the Playskool line until 1996. This lovable bear could move his mouth and eyes, which made it appear he was talking. In his back was a built in tape cassette player that played the story Teddy Ruxpin was telling the children. This talking bear fascinated children and parents alike.
The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin
The Teddy Ruxpin bear was so popular that a cartoon for Teddy was created in 1987. Children adored him so much that he became the official spokesman for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
The television series, called "The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin", ran from 1987 to 1988. Teddy and his friend Grubby were always in search of an adventure. Young Teddy leaves his home on the island of Rillonia with his best friend Grubby to follow an ancient map which leads him to find a collection of crystals, and learns the long-lost history of his species and clues to the location of his missing father. During the sixty-five episodes filmed, children would learn the meaning of the six crystals with magical powers and follow Teddy Ruxpin in and out of many dangerous, yet wholesome adventures.
Teddy Keeps Up With Technology …..
It seemed that the Teddy Ruxpin bear would be on the market a couple of years, then be off a while before coming back. In 2005 Teddy was back again, making this the fourth version of the Teddy Ruxpin bear. The audio tapes had now been replaced with digital cartridges, keeping up with the technical changes of the era. Parents loved the Teddy Ruxpin bear because they could purchase extra story cartridges for their children.
They came with the stories, music, and even sound effects that you could turn up or down with the volume control on the back of Teddy.
And Becomes A Collector's Item
This talking bear can still be purchased today and is almost as popular as when it first came out. You can easily find them online by doing a search of the Teddy Ruxpin name. What you pay for the privilege of owning one of the bears today is up to the person selling the bear. Collectors have been known to pay a good sum of money for one of the original Teddy Ruxpin bears, made in the 80s. Teddy Ruxpin was a bear ahead of his time. While most teddy bears still had the wind up key in the back for playing music, Teddy was talking!
A Teddy for All Seasons
All the years this toy has been around might make you wonder why children think it is so special. Look at Teddy Ruxpin through a child's eye. Here you have a cute teddy bear that you can sleep with, and carry around to play with, and he actually talks! Children love being told stories and they are even more exciting when being told by this talking bear. The music and sound effects make the story come alive, and make everything seem more real.
The Teddy Ruxpin bear may leave the toy scene every so often, but he always comes back. There has not been another teddy bear quite so popular as the Teddy Ruxpin, and probably never will be!
And here is an original 1980's Teddy Ruxpin TV commercial, Enjoy!…..

How to: Save a Workbook
Excel Web Services is a front-end interface to Excel Services. In general, Excel Services does not create, modify, or save files—it only reads them to start sessions. Therefore, Excel Web Services does not have a method to save a workbook.
To save a workbook, you generally use the API of the destination file store. For example:
If you want to save the Excel file to a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 document library, use the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 object model or Web service.
If you want to save the Excel file to a stream, a local file, or a file share, use the Microsoft .NET Framework libraries.
If you want to save the Excel file to an HTTP location, use Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV).
WebDAV is also known as the HTTP/DAV protocol or the DAV protocol.
You can use the various .NET Framework libraries to save a workbook. The following example shows one of the methods.
The following sample code uses the Console.OpenStandardOutput method to acquire the standard output stream. It then uses the System.IO.BinaryWriter.Write method to write either an entire workbook or a snapshot file returned by the Web service's GetWorkbook method. It writes the snapshot to a file using stdout and the command-line filename argument as shown in the following code:
BinaryWriter binaryWriter =
new BinaryWriter(Console.OpenStandardOutput());
For more information about the OpenStandardOutput and Write methods, see the Microsoft .NET Framework class library documentation.
The following sample shows how to get a snapshot and then write it to standard output. For more information about snapshots, see How to: Get an Entire Workbook or a Snapshot topic. For more information about the GetWorkbook method, see the Excel Web Services reference documentation.
// Open the workbook, then call GetWorkbook // and close the session. string sessionId = xlService.OpenWorkbook(args[0], "en-US", "en-US", out status); // Get a full snapshot of the workbook. byte[] workbook = xlService.GetWorkbook(sessionId, WorkbookType.FullWorkbook, out status); // Close workbook. This also closes the session. status = xlService.CloseWorkbook(sessionId); // Write the resulting Excel file to stdout, as a binary stream. BinaryWriter binaryWriter = new BinaryWriter(Console.OpenStandardOutput()); binaryWriter.Write(workbook); binaryWriter.Close();

Shareholders voting on $24.4 billion Dell buyout
Dell shareholders are voting today on founder Michael Dell's plan to take the slumping computer maker private in hopes of engineering a turnaround away from Wall Street's glare.
In a sign that the vote could be close, a special committee of the company's board sent a letter to shareholders emphasizing its opposition to a rival plan from activist investor Carl Icahn. Dell Inc. also said Thursday's meeting could be adjourned quickly without a formal vote to give the board more time to round up support for the $24.4 billion buyout offer from Michael Dell and other investors.
The vote was scheduled at a special shareholders meeting at the company's headquarters in Round Rock, Texas.
Supporters believe Dell Inc. stands a better chance of turning around if it can make long-term strategic decisions without worrying about meeting Wall Street's quarter-to-quarter expectations. But some big investors have already signaled opposition to the bid. Icahn believes the offer undervalues the company.
The company's decision to go private is a reflection of the tough times facing the personal computer industry as people delay replacing traditional computers and spend their money instead on the latest smartphones and tablets. PC sales have been falling, and tablets are expected to outsell laptops this year.
Michael Dell, who is Dell's CEO, is hoping to evolve the company into a more diversified seller of technology services, business software and high-end computers - much the way IBM Corp. had successfully transformed itself in the 1990s.
