Mellieha : Malta's Best Beach Resort
If you're off to Malta this year, stop and think for a minute. Real beaches in Malta are few and far between, but set in a delightful wide bay on Malta's north coast and only twenty kilometres from Malta's International Airport, is Mellieha. Mellieha is Malta's exception to the rule.
The beach area in Mellieha is a gently curving strand of almost three quarters of a kilometre in length and makes bathing in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea a genuine pleasure all year round. With a wide spread of abundant soft sand it's ideal for children and is one reason why Mellieha is one of the top family holiday resorts in Malta.
Mellieha Hotels and Apartments
Mellieha itself is a village which dates back to antiquity and where, from its setting high on the incline of a hill, the ivory coloured bell-towers of the local church cast their shadow across the settlement surrounding it. The town may have some stunning views overlooking the sea below, but Mellieha has kept the best part of her fortress-like geographical location for her holiday-making visitors.
The apartments and hotels in Mellieha encircle the rear of the sandy beach. There's not far to go when you've children to think of and no steep hills to climb when they're tired and you need to get back to your holiday accommodation.
Just a mere thirty metres is the walking distance between the doors of the beautiful Riu Seabank Hotel and the sea. Any closer than that and it'd be submerged! It's not the only one near Mellieha's beach either. There are many hotels and apartments to chose from in Mellieha and something to suit every type of budget.
Things To do and See in Malta's Holiday Resort of Mellieha
There are many fascinating places to visit in and around the bay and town of Mellieha. The Gozo ferry runs its regular service to the neighbouring island from Cirkewwa's small harbour and makes for a refreshing day out. Catch the sea air as you sail across the placid waters and then spend some time exploring the quaintness of the streets of Gozo's old town.
St Paul's Bay, named after one of the four original saintly apostles, is just five kilometres away and is the place where St Paul was reputed to have been shipwrecked during his exodus from Crete. On an equally religious note, up in the main town of Mellieha is a holy well situated in an underground cavern whose waters are reputed to have special healing qualities.
Eating Out and Night Life In Mellieha.
Mellieha is orientated to people who come to Malta on family holidays, but that doesn't mean there aren't good restaurants where you can dine out at a reasonable price. On the Triq Il-Marfa, the main road which passes the beach front and heads up to the hillside town, is Assaggio, an Italian restaurant which also has some traditional Maltese cuisine on the menu. Coniglio alla Maltese is a tasty rabbit dish which comes highly recommended.
Night life in Mellieha is subdued, but with the same as everywhere else, if you want some you'll find it.
So if you're off to Malta this year make sure you stay in Mellieha - it's an ideal place for a family holiday.

At the risk of not sounding terribly polite, I've been researching (i.e., Googling) some of the stupidest questions being asked in our society: those of the antivax movement. Its not that it is stupid to question vaccinations, or for parents to ask sincere questions before having their children repeatedly jab. That's common sense. No, the stupid comes in where we see antivaccine talking points repeated endlessly, unthinkingly by the antivaccine faithful. (And before you say it, "open minds" should go both ways.) You can't help but find the same rhetoric being repeated endlessly on discussion boards, partisan websites and in interviews.
Anyway, I'm collecting some of my favorite Snappy Answers to Stupid Vaccine Questions here. While I am no expert, I'll try to link to answers with good references. I'm also trying to avoid the vanilla PR answers you'll get from health system websites.
Al Jaffee, by the way, is still alive, possibly in Guantanamo through either a tragic misunderstanding or an accurate Snappy Answer.
From A Photon in the Darkness comes Three Popular Anti-vaccine Myths Deconstructed. Spoilers: The myths are
1) "You claim that vaccines are 100% safe and effective!" Which technically is actually kind of a straw man of a straw man. A meta scarecrow, if you will. But only technically. As Photon explains, nobody of any real knowledge of the matter would claim that vaccines are either 100% safe or effective.
2) "Vaccine-preventable diseases were in decline before the vaccines were introduced"
3) "The chickenpox vaccine causes shingles!"
From Losing in the Lucky Country comes a discussion on the mysterious phenomena of Vaccine Shedding, which follows in great part with myth #3 above. I've seen this sort of thing pop up in a number of discussion boards, where the real phenomena of viral shedding, a part of viral reproduction, has somehow been conflated with vaccines to create the myth of Vaccine Shedding.
The colloquial use of this nonsensical term seeks to convey that an individual who has been vaccinated can readily shed part of the vaccine and cause infection in the unvaccinated. Which by definition demands them to have shed not a vaccine but an infectious agent. Indeed a virus. Which by extension demands the vaccine to be a live virus vaccine. This then opens the door to viral shedding the vast complexities of vaccine induced immunity and viable modes of excretion – aka shedding. That won't stop your garden variety anti-vaxxer claiming any vaccine can lead to infection of the unvaccinated via this ghastly "vaccine shedding".
Its complex, and worth a read. To oversimplify, yes, live attenuated vaccines can pose a risk to immunocompromised people (and often infants and pregnant women) and a healthy child or adult cannot get sick from being near a vaccinated person.
I'll try to keep updating this as whim takes me.
UPDATE 1: How Antivaxxers Debate
Here's a nice primer on common antivaccine "Tropes and Tactics", which is summarized and added-upon by Orac here for those who can't access the article.
UPDATE 2: Brain Studies Demonstrate Autism at 6 Months
Interesting news for the antivaccine proponents who still cling to the myth that the MMR vaccine causes autism: you can detect patterns of autism in children as young as six months. Of course, MMR isn't given to children younger than one year old, which leftbrainrightbrain blog suggests time travel may be the last refuge for the vaccine denialists. They also take a nifty look at the causation/correlation fallacy
commonly necessarily employed by people who still insist vaccines cause autism.
UPDATE 3: The Amish
Apparently, one anti-vax talking point is that the Amish don't get vaccines, therefore they don't get autism. Double wrong. Turns out that the Amish do get vaccinated (there's no specific religious prescription against vaccines…or modern medicine, in general) and they do get autism (but, no those two aren't linked here, either) and here's the study that shows it.
The Amish, as a hole, tend to see fewer cases of autism. Their rate, according to the study just mentioned, is about 1 in 270 versus 1 in 91 among the rest of the population, as whole. That, to me, says something about a genetic component to autism. Genetic studies among the Amish are very well documented, as they tend to suffer a disproportionate number of genetic diseases. Given the, you know, limited gene pool.

I am so excited to be returning for my fourth semester as a Style Guru for the University at Albany! I am a music theory and communications double major with a great interest in fashion that has grown over my time at college. As I begin my senior year (yikes!) I finally feel that my life's passion and fashion style have combined to be one in the same.
I have always loved music and now that it is my major and hopefully my future career, I have noticed myself choosing outfits based on my music plans for the day. If I expect a day of studying for a piano exam in the practice rooms, I wear a comfy pair of boyfriend jeans, a graphic tee and Sperry Top-Siders. If I'm headed to my music internship, I throw on a pair of black high-waisted shorts and a silk blouse. And if I'm going to hours of music theory classes, it's linen pants and a jean jacket. I guess you could say my style has evolved into a sort of musically chic look!
Of course, I don't shop for ensembles based on my music needs. I love to browse through stores and choose things that look comfy but cute and flirty. Only when I'm picking my look for the day do I consult my "fashion playlist" and see what will best work with my plans. I completely love that I finally feel confident in matching my fashion style to my passion and I think it is a wonderful thing that anyone can feel. Pay attention to your interests and loves outside of fashion because they are the very things that will inspire your style choices. Writing on Thursdays for WHAT TO WEAR, I will be searching the campus for Fashionistas who tell their story and passions through their outfits. Get ready, Fashionista/os of UAlbany, I'm coming for you!

Wedding Paper Divas is bursting with staff brides who are currently planning their weddings. We're happy to share their stories with you as a part of this brand new feature!
Meet Brittany
Brittany B. is marrying her best friend, Jared, on August 28, 2010. The couple met at Brittany's older brother's wedding, where he was a groomsmen and she was a bridesmaid. It was love at first sight, and the couple now plans to marry at the same location as where they first met.
For my very first blog entry I thought I'd share my experience finding THE dress. Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be married in a princess dress, have a fairy tale wedding and live happily ever after. I knew what I wanted, the quest was just to find it—and it wasn't easy!
I must have looked at hundreds of dresses online and in magazines, but once I found the dress, I knew it was perfect. It is called Monalisa by Maggie Sottero (I love the name just as much as I love the dress!). It suits me and (thankfully) it was in my price range. The dress has a sweetheart neckline, a corset backing, a stunning long train, little pickups and is covered in beading.
I made my appointment after confirming the local dress shop had the design I wanted. I took with me my mom and dad so they could be there for support and to share this experience. The appointment went very smoothly. I tried on the Monalisa dress and my parents were WOWed! Our assistant pulled two more dresses for me to try on, one in diamond white and one in ivory. I knew after trying them on that nothing could compare to the Monalisa.
That's when I ran into my first dress shopping snag—picking a size. I fell between a 1 and a 3, and 2 just didn't exist. I ended up going with the 1 and crossing my fingers that the corset backing would give me some extra space. Plus, I'd much rather lose a little weight than pay more to alter the dress! I bought my dress and veil that day, and was told both would come in—four months later.
While I waited for my dress to come in, I did what any girl would do. Accessorize! I found the perfect shoes and a gorgeous tiara. My dad is a jeweler, so my wedding ring has a rose gold outer setting that perfectly matches the dress, veil and tiara. I even found a beautiful necklace to match everything else, but I could never afford it. Fortunately, as a wedding gift, my dad is planning to make it for me! Oh the perks of being a jeweler's daughter…
Once the four months had passed, I went with my parents-in-law to be to pick up the dress and do my fitting. I tried my dress on, looked in the mirror and was so thankful that it fit! Then I started to look over the dress and hit the next snag on my quest. I just about fainted. There was a black spot on the front of my dress!
I tried and hold back the bridezilla emerging within me. The alternations staff tried to get the spot out, but later said it was something embedded in the fabric and that it couldn't be removed. They said I could keep it and get a measly 10% off, or return it to the manufacturer and get a brand new dress after another four month wait. I ended up sending the dress back (even though I would be cutting it dangerously close to the deadline). I left without my dress feeling sorely disappointed.
Thankfully, the very next day I received a call from the dress shop saying that my dress would actually come in only two weeks. When I tried it on this time, it was perfect—the ideal happy ending to my wedding dress quest!
If you run into any hiccups on your own hunt for the perfect dress, don't get discouraged. It's your day, so don't be afraid to ask that everything be perfectly flawless. After all, you deserve a happy ending too!

No. 42 Alabama Claws Past No. 13 Kentucky
March 30, 2014
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The No. 13 University of Kentucky men's tennis team lost the doubles point for just the third time in Southeastern Conference play this season, and was unable to dig itself out of the hole, falling on the road to No. 42 Alabama on Sunday afternoon in Tuscaloosa, Ala., 4-2.
In the doubles point, the Wildcats were up a break on both court two and three at one point with court one already clinched by Alabama with an 8-6 win for the Crimson Tide there. After Beck Pennington and Alejandro Gomez took care of business, serving out the match with an 8-6 win, it all came down to court three as that would decide the doubles point. After being up a break at 6-4, Alabama held for 6-5, and then broke for six all and put the match back on serve. The Crimson Tide then broke to go ahead and take the win and clinch the 1-0 lead in the overall match.
In singles, No. 85 Gomez would quickly put a point on the board for the Wildcats, as the senior from Cali Columbia took the 4-0 lead in the first set and after being forced back on serve, broke, and collected a 7-5 win. In the second set, Gomez again got up an early break and cruised to a 6-4 second-set win to even the match at 1-1.
Alabama would re-claim the lead in the match with a win on court six as Andrew Goodwin collected a straight-set 7-6, 6-4. Roberts trailed 5-1 in the second set, before rallying to get a break back, but was unable to get the second break back and fell on court six for just the third time this season for the senior from Lexington, Ky.
"This was not how I wanted to play my last road match as a Wildcat," Roberts said. "I just started off giving away was too many points and not moving well. I did what I could to fight back and I even had a few set points in the tiebreaker. The second set, I just dug myself a 2-5 hole and I just couldn't come back from it. This is a tough one to swallow, but we have to realize the season isn't over and we need to work hard and finish strong the rest of the way."
Kevin Lai, the sophomore from Taiwan, was one of five UK players in singles to lose his first set, but was one of only three players to force a third set. Lai, on court five, rallied to win 12 of the final 15 games and collect the final two sets to take the three-set win on the fifth court, 5-7, 6-2, 6-1. After dropping the first set, Lai then got up early breaks in both of the final frames to win.
Alabama would re-take the lead in the back-and-forth match for the duration of the match, as Jerry Lopez dropped his match on court four, and fell 7-6, 6-4. Lopez got up an early 2-0 break in the opening set before his opponent, Nikko Madregallejo then won a couple of games in a row, and was able to capture the opening set. Lopez then was back-and forth with Madregallejo before Lopez was broken late in the set, and lost the second set, 6-4 to give Alabama the 3-2 lead.
"It was a very painful loss for us as a team today," Lopez said. "It just wasn't a great day for us. We were all really tired. I had many chances and opportunities to win the first set, and I didn't take advantage of it. I feel very dissapointed because I think we could have done a lot better this weekend."
On both remaining courts, Tom Jomby and Beck Pennington for UK fell in the first set, and was able to force a third set, and able to keep Kentucky in the match. On court one, Jomby lost the first set in a tiebreak, before getting an early break in the second set to take a 2-0 lead, and served out a 6-2 win after collecting a second break in the second set. In the third set, Jomby and No. 28 Daniel Proskura were at 2-1 on-serve when the match was clinched on court three.
Pennington, who lost his opening set 7-5, fought back to force a third set on court three, as the Wildcats knew they needed to win both remaining matches. Pennington got down an early break in the set at 3-1, and then found himself down 5-1 in the remaining set and saw time run out, as he lost the final frame, 6-1. The loss for Pennington is his first all season in conference play.
"Today was a tough one for us," Pennington said. "I personally didn't prepare myself as well as I should have. We're going to keep working hard and focus on our last few SEC matches to finish out the season."
Sunday's match was Kentucky's final road match of the 2014 season, as the Wildcats will conclude the season with an eight-match homestand. Starting the homestand will be a match with No. 6 Illinois at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday at the Hilary J. Boone Varsity Tennis Stadium.

If the foodservice category follows the lead of McDonald's Corp., then the apple industry is rejoicing at the fast-food giant's July announcement that it would add apple slices to its children's meals beginning this fall.
Media reports speculated the move was a result of increased pressure from federal regulators who have been pressuring quick-service restaurants to offer more nutritious fare than has been their tradition.
Some critics said the move didn't go far enough to fight obesity in children.
The new apple slices will not be served with caramel dipping sauce, as has been an option in McDonald's Happy Meals.
"McDonald's will always try to do the right thing, and we know we can help make a difference in our communities," Jan Fields, president of McDonald's USA, Oak Brook, Ill., said in a news release.
"The commitments we're announcing today will guide the future evolution of our menu and marketing."
Whatever the motivation, the result will be more apple sales, said Jim Allen, president of the Fishers-based New York Apple Association.
"The biggest thing is McDonald's with apples and Happy Meals," he said in discussing inroads apples had made in the foodservice sector.
"I think that's going to be a tremendous boon for apples across the country, and it's a great win for the kids and the health of our youth. I think it's going to spur and increase consumption across the board, not just in foodservice restaurants but across the retail front."
"I don't know specifics, but I think it's going to be great for all the apple industry, as well as New York," said John Teeple, owner of Teeple Farms in Wolcott, N.Y.
"I'm assuming a number of different varieties for slicers will be coming from the packing line. When you get a big chain like McDonald's picking up on this, it's fantastic for the apple industry."
Everybody wins in a move like this, including McDonald's, Teeple said.
"A lot of the fast-food places like the McDonald's and the Burger Kings have an image problem, and they're trying to change that image," he said.
"If apples can help, we'll be glad to supply them."
Others in the Eastern apple industry said they were excited by the announcement.
"That's really big," said Doug Minard, owner of Clintondale, N.Y.-based W.G. Minard & Sons Inc.
"I think the whole category continues to grow. Overall it's going to be good for the business. It's big news."
More sales and firmer prices seem certain to result, said Tim Mansfield, sales and marketing director with Burt, N.Y.-based Sun Orchard Fruit Co.
"What it does is put a floor, helps take away some of the product that may end up in processing and strengthens the foodservice sector," he said.
"It helps strengthen the slicing part of the equation. The great benefit is we're starting to educate young consumers about the benefits of apples."
Karin Rodriguez, executive director of the Harrisburg-based Pennsylvania Apple Marketing Program, said everyone in the business will benefit.
"It's a super-exciting announcement for our industry, and it's good news for all apple growers," she said.
"I assume that everybody in the country will benefit from that."
Lee Peters, vice president of salesand marketing with Wolcott, N.Y.-based Fowler Bros. Inc., agreed.
"We like to see companies grow, and that helps us grow and it's good for the consuming public and the next generation of apple purchasers," he said.
The McDonald's announcement also came at a time when apple shipments to schools appeared to be headed upward.
"We work real close with our school foodservice in New York and work very hard with the USDA, and they recently said schools can specifically request regionally grown apples," Allen said.
"Before, they couldn't do that, so we've worked hard on that. Foodservice, we do interact with the large foodservice providers, especially those that interact with schools and colleges. The customers at the colleges are students and they say they want to buy what is grown here, so those companies supplying the colleges we work with."

I had a septoplasty (deviated septum) and tip rhinoplasty 2.5 months ago. I'm breathing fine, however my Columella is very slanted. Very noticeable. Nostrils not symmetrical. Left side of nose is smooth and right side has ridges (exterior). I'm not happy with how I look. I look worse now, than before surgery. Can the displaced columella be fixed?

Photographs will help. So soon after surgery, the healing is not complete and unable to draw a conclusion on the final result.
Rhinoplasty Video and discussion on Slanted Columnella
Your slanted columnella can be corrected relatively easily. This could be a relatively more simpler procedure than the rhinoplasty that you had before. Just let your surgeon know what you are thinking. Always get multiple opinions to get a better understanding. In the video below, you can make changes to the tip cartilages to achieve this. There are many steps to improve this slant.

How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
Rad-icon Imaging Corporation announces the Remote RadEye� HR � a high-resolution detachable x-ray sensitive camera head designed for �very-small space� radiation imaging applications. The Remote RadEye HR contains a 2-dimensional CMOS photodiode array with 22.5 μm pixel size, which translates to an intrinsic resolution of 22 line pairs per mm. The sensor electronics are mounted in a separate enclosure which can be remotely located and interconnected via a 1 meter long cable supplied with the x-ray sensor module. While intended mostly for portable applications, the Remote RadEye HR can also be used in many fixed installation x-ray imaging systems where unusually dense packaging conditions need to be optimized.
The x-ray sensor in the Remote RadEye HR was developed to work with micro-focus and nano-focus focus x-ray sources to form compact, high-resolution imaging systems for applications such as; Micro-CT for industrial and biomedical applications; observing fine structure on small parts; aligning or profiling an x-ray beam for protein crystallography and evaluating the focal spot size on high-resolution x-ray sources.
The small size and minimized mass of the Remote RadEye HR makes rapid changes of momentum easier, hence mounting on a robotic arm becomes quite practical. The small detachable sensor module can easily placed in constricted areas and the lower mass also simplifies cooling of the detector head to reduce dark current and extend the exposure time.
The detachable sensor module is housed in a ruggedized, steel enclosure with a stainless steel cover and carbon-fiber window that shields the sensor from ambient light and protects the sensitive electronics from accidental physical damage.

Buffalo NY (SPX) Dec 16, 2011
The path of least emissions may not always be the fastest way to drive somewhere. But according to new research from the University at Buffalo, it's possible for drivers to cut their tailpipe emissions without significantly slowing travel time.
In detailed, computer simulations of traffic in Upstate New York's Buffalo Niagara region, UB researchers Adel Sadek and Liya Guo found that green routing could reduce overall emissions of carbon monoxide by 27 percent for area drivers, while increasing the length of trips by an average of just 11 percent.
In many cases, simple changes yielded great gains.
Funneling cars along surface streets instead of freeways helped to limit fuel consumption, for instance. Intelligently targeting travelers was another strategy that worked: Rerouting just one fifth of drivers - those who would benefit most from a new path - reduced regional emissions by about 20 percent.
Sadek, a transportation systems expert, says one reason green routing is appealing is because it's a strategy that consumers and transportation agencies could start using today.
"We're not talking about replacing all vehicles with hybrid cars or transforming to a hydrogen-fuel economy - that would take time to implement," said Sadek, an associate professor of civil, structural and environmental engineering. "But this idea, green routing, we could implement it now."
In the near future, GPS navigation systems and online maps could play an important role in promoting green routing, Sadek said. Specifically, these systems and programs could use transportation research to give drivers the option to choose an environmentally friendly route instead of the shortest route.
Sadek and Guo, a PhD candidate, presented their research on green routing at the 18th World Congress on Intelligent Transportation Systems in October.
In the UB study on green routing, the researchers tied together two computer models commonly known as "MOVES" and "TRANSIMS."
The Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES), created by the Environmental Protection Agency, estimates emissions. The Transportation Analysis and Simulation System (TRANSIMS) simulates traffic in great detail, taking into account information including the location and pattern of signals; the grade of the road; and the trips people take at different times of day.
After incorporating Buffalo-specific data into TRANSIMS, Sadek and Guo ran a number of simulations, rerouting travelers in new ways each time.
After running the models numerous times, the researchers reached a "green-user equilibrium" - a traffic pattern where all drivers are traveling along optimal routes. With the system in equilibrium, moving a commuter from one path to another would increase a user's overall emissions by creating more congestion or sparking another problem.
The simulations were part of a broader study Sadek is conducting on evaluating the likely environmental benefits of green routing in the region. His project is one of seven that the U.S. Department of Transportation has funded through a Broad Agency Announcement that aims to leverage intelligent transportation systems to reduce the environmental impact of transportation.

text: Hey kids, look who it is! Yes, it's that person so many of you love to hate, Kim Kardashian, showing off the one thing that keeps me from fully joining all of you haters in your hateful hatred. Maybe I just listened to too much Sir Mix-A-Lot back in the day, but I can't deny it - her butt is stuffed. I know, I know. She's everything that's wrong with the world and her stupid media antics are ridiculous and she doesn't deserve to be famous. I don't disagree with any of that. It also has zero bearing on my desire to get all up in dat ass. You can bring up Kanye or Ray J or any of the other equally loathsome people who have been there before me. I still don't care. What about her awful family, you ask? I pay them no mind. None of it matters. All I can see is great ass. It's a better way to be, I think. While all of you are caught up in the bad parts, I just keep staring at her ass and completely overlook all the other nonsense. I'm one who focuses on the good side of people and rejects their failings. And for me, Kim's backside is her good side. Down votes are now being accepted below.

Streaming from BoinxTV with the Teradek Cube
by - Friday, September 30, 2011 - Permalink
As you may have already seen at (http://bitnapping.tv/episodes/2010/5/5/bitnappingtv-094-streaming-with-boinxtv.html), streaming from BoinxTV currently works using free 3rd party software. A while ago, Teradek released a fine product called the Cube, that simplifies the process of streaming quite dramatically.
The cube is basically a small box with HDMI and analog audio input that can connect to a wired or wireless network and convert the video input to different types of network streams. For local networks, it supports RTSP and HTTP-Live Stream (HLS). So if you simply want to stream inside a closed network, one of these would be your method of choice. If you want to stream to the Internet, the Cube so far supported streaming to livestream.com but with the latest firmware update, Teradek added generic RTMP streaming, what means, streaming to any Adobe Flash Media or Wowza Server (that most streaming platforms use) is now also possible.
All that is required to get you streaming using the Cube is a HDMI cable and adapter, an audio cable and a Teradek Cube (e.g. the Cube 200).
The cabling is pretty easy, plug the adapter from your secondary monitor output in (like a Mini Displayport to HDMI or DVI to HDMI) adapter, connect the adapter and the Cube with the HDMI cable an finally plug the audio cable into the Cube and into the main audio out of your computer (you might want to add a splitter if you want to use headphones for monitoring meanwhile. It sounds much more complicated than it actually is. Take a quick look at the photo and you'll understand the cabling immediately.
Now you need to configure the Cube. Plug in an Ethernet cable in your network and open the TeraCentral software that comes on the tiny thumbdrive and select "Configure Settings".
After logging in, head to "Video Setup" > "Device Settings" and make sure your Audio Input settings are correct. The Cube should automatically recognize the video input settings. Sometimes the video resolution of the Mac can't be recognized properly, in that case, you need to adjust it all by hand. If you set you resolution in "System Preferences" > "Displays" e.g. to 720p and 50hz, choose "720p50" in the "Video Input Resolution" drop down, if you made other adjustments in "System Preferences", set it here accordingly. Now also set the Colorspace using the "Video Input Colorspace" drop down. Normally this has to be set to RGB. Afterwards, click "Apply" and wait a moment for the Cube to process your settings.
Now head to "Video Setup" > "Encoder Settings" and adjust your Primary Encoder. The settings depend on what your streaming destination allows you to send. For Standard definition 512k is fine and it complies with the maximum settings of most of the free accounts most platforms offer.
For the final streaming setup go to "Video Setup" > "Stream Settings".
If you plan to stream to livestream.com (which we can really recommend), select "Live Internet Streaming". All you need to do now, is entering your livestream.com credentials and hit "Verify Login". Under "Livestream Channel Settings" you might want to configure a few additional settings. When everything is set, click "Apply" to save your changes.
To start streaming to livestream.com, all you need to do is heading to the "Stream Settings" page everytime you want to start a stream and hit the "Start Broadcast" button. Once your broadcast is over, click the "Stop Broadcast" button on the same page.
Generic RTMP Streaming
If you plan to stream to other services, like justin.tv or any other platform that supports RTMP (ask their support if you are not sure), your need the 5.x firmware that you can get from the Teradek Forums and an additional license, that can be obtained for free from Teradek. Just contact [email protected] with the serial number and Ethernet MAC Address of your Cube to request a license. Once installed, switch the "Stream Mode" to RTMP and enter the RTMP Server URL and the Stream ID in the appropriate fields.
You can find these settings e.g. in the advanced tabs of the various streaming platforms, Or you can download a Flash Media encoder XML from them that contains these values.
Here is an example excerpt of the justin.tv XML:<rtmp>
You can also ask the support staff of the platform in question, they'll be most certainly able to give you the information required.
After entering these credentials, hit "Apply" to save the changes.
If you have a valid signal and the encoder works properly, click "Start Broadcast" to start streaming. In case you want the Cube to start the stream once Signal is recognized, set "Auto Start Broadcast" to "Enabled". Like this, streaming is just a matter of connecting the Cube.
Having set this all up, the Cube is ready to go, now there is only one thing left to do: Tell BoinxTV to play its output through HDMI.
Live playout through HDMI and Line Out
Open your document, make all the adjustments needed and ensure that the HDMI adapter and cable is connected to the Cube. At first, click the headphones icon on the top right, select "Built-in Output" as the playthrough device and enable playthrough. Now hold the option key on the keyboard and click the Fullscreen button on the top right.
In the sheet that appears, select the secondary screen (make sure the main BoinxTV window is on the main screen) and choose the desired resolution and refresh rate. For example, if you set the Cube to expect 720p50 choose 1280x720 with a refresh rate of 50 Hertz. When everything is alright, klick "OK" and be ready to stream. (If your setup is not set to autostart the stream, all you have to do is log into the web interface and click "Start Broadcast").
The fantastic thing about this solution is, that you need to set it up only once. From then on, streaming is as easy as connecting a cable and you don't have to worry if there is enough CPU power left to encode a web stream. Apart from the ease of use, with this setup it is suddenly possible to do a high resolution web stream with a not so powerful computer like a MacBook Air.

iStopMotion Visits the Animation Block Party 2011
by Cara - Thursday, September 22, 2011 - Permalink
This past July we were fortunate enough to be a sponsor of the eighth annual Animation Block Party, the premier animation festival of the East Coast. This year's festival took place in Brooklyn at Rooftop Films and BAMcinématek, where thousands of filmmakers submitted their animated shorts for screening. Awards were given out for everything from Best in Show, to Original Design, Experimental Film, Minute or Under, Animation for Kids, and more.
As a sponsor, we donated an iStopMotion license to be given away at the festival. Our very own iStopMotion also made a big debut at this year's Animation Block Party as the program used to create the outro bumper for the festival, Person Pinball, by Aaron Hughes. The 2-minute long animation was created entirely with iStopMotion and has become hugely popular on the web with over 200,000 YouTube hits... and it was even featured on CBS News and in Wired Magazine! Watch the video here and see how human pinball takes over New York!

BoinxTV Studio for Mac Cuts Production Costs!
by Cara - Tuesday, September 13, 2011 - Permalink
Bob LeVitus from the Houston Chronicle had always wanted to be on television, so when he was asked to write, coproduce, and host a half-hour program known as Mac Today back in 1992, he jumped at the chance. The show was syndicated in more than 100 markets, and ran for 13 weeks. During this first brush with TV, Bob learned that creating high-quality video programming requires time, talent and money. He was bitten by the TV bug and has been thinking about doing another show ever since.
"My big problem has always been the money," says Bob. "I've got time, and I'd like to believe I've got talent. What I didn't have was a TV studio filled with all the purpose-built equipment necessary to produce a TV show." That's where BoinxTV comes in. Bob describes BoinxTV as, "a Mac application that delivers much of the functionality of a traditional TV studio at a fraction of the price. With its unique layer-based production system, BoinxTV makes it easy to create video that looks like what's on TV, be it CNN, Fox News, ESPN, HBO, or the local news."
Bob concludes his BoinxTV review by saying, "If you've ever dreamed of producing TV, BoinxTV makes it cheaper and easier than ever before." Read the complete review here!

This back to school season, educators all over the world are including a new tool in their teaching curricula - BoinxTV. I've learned that as more and more educators begin to integrate technology into the classroom, BoinxTV has quickly become a fan favorite among students and teachers alike for its user-friendly workflow and engaging video production capabilities. From creating a school news show, to broadcasting school events, conducting live interviews, or even making a full documentary, BoinxTV makes classroom projects more vivid and exciting - and kids really do love it!
"The BoinxTV application is like having a TV studio in the classroom," says Peter Goetz, Kentfield School District. "The look, feel, and results are very professional, and the students fall right into their roles as engineers, writers, directors, pundits, or special guests. Whether filming high-resolution videos or broadcasting a news show to a uStream audience, this is a classy and cost-effective way to do realistic media production with teenagers."
I think one of the most rewarding things about BoinxTV is that it gives students an immediate sense of achievement and satisfaction. It keeps them interested and engaged by simplifying the video production workflow and producing immediate results in real time. Kids can create their very own news show - just like CNN or the Today Show - in just one classroom period. "We use BoinxTV for our live news program," says Zachary McNaughton, Digital Audio & Video Electronics Instructor, RVTC School District. "We love the software for what it does! It gives us the look and feel we need during the live show and also eliminates editing for us after the live production. This year we will be building a real new set and really spicing things up for the show. The kids can't wait!"
There are so many ways educators and schools can use BoinxTV to engage kids in the learning process, help build teamwork skills, and introduce them to important technology workflows. Click here to find out all the ways BoinxTV can be used to spice up your classroom this fall!

Teacher sentenced to 20 years in sex case
By Dwayne Bremer
Jun 17, 2014, 20:25
Jay Coker
Former Hancock High School teacher and drama instructor Hiram "Jay" Coker pled guilty Monday to two counts of sexual battery of a former student in 2012.
Circuit Court Judge John Gargiulo accepted Coker's guilty plea and sentenced him to 20 years in prison.
Coker entered an open plea, commonly referred to as a "North Carolina" plea, in which there is no recommendation from the state on sentencing.
"This is a reprehensible act," Gargiulo told Coker Monday. "I don't think it can ever be understood. You were in a position of trust and you obliterated that trust."
Coker, 43, was arrested in 2012 after allegations surfaced that he had been having a sexual relationship with one of his students, a female 15-year-old HHS sophomore.
Assistant District Attorney Chris Daniel said Monday that Coker had sex with the girl on several occasions between March and May of 2012.
The sexual battery incidents took place at the high school and at a hotel in Harrison County, Daniel said.
"He was a teacher and the victim was a student, that is how he had met her and built up trust," Daniel said.
Daniel said the incident was reported to then HHS principal Rhett Ladner, who reported it to authorities.
The victim's mother was allowed to testify during the hearing.
She said that Coker's actions 'disgusted her.'
"This man used his position to take advantage of my daughter," the woman said. "He caused her to be the center of ridicule by classmates and took her innocence. My daughter will never be the same."
Three people spoke on Coker's behalf including his father, a jail chaplain, and a social worker.s
Hiram "Jack" Coker said his son's actions were "inexcusable," but he pleaded with the judge for mercy.
"I would like, if possible, for him to have some place in society in the future," he said.
The chaplain said Coker has participated in several jail programs and has been helping other inmates with literacy programs.
Later in the hearing, Coker offered a tearful apology.
"I am so terribly sorry to the family and everyone involved," Coker said. "I betrayed everyone. I knew it was wrong and it is all my fault. I was supposed to be a teacher and mentor and I was not."
Gargiulo said he took all of the testimony into consideration and sentenced Coker to 20 years, which must be served day-for-day without the possibility of early release.
"I do not judge you, but I judge the act," Gargiulo said.
In addition to serving 20 years, Coker will be mandated to register as a sex offender when he is released.

By The Associated Press
Organizers of a tribute to the Jack Johnson-Jim Jeffries fight will gather on Sunday in Reno, Nevada, to ring the same bell used in 1910 at the site of the bout, now a metals salvage yard.
They also plan to make renewed calls for a posthumous presidential pardon for Johnson on grounds his conviction for transporting a woman across state lines for immoral purposes was steeped in the racism of the time.
Senator John McCain, who sponsored a pardon resolution along with congressman Peter King, said he welcomed renewed support for the cause in Reno. He told The Associated Press last month that he remains hopeful President Barack Obama will sign the pardon.
"I know the president, once he looks carefully at this issue, would want to correct a grave injustice done," McCain said.
Jeffries' great-great nephew Gary Wurst said he supports the pardon.
"I think it's time for it," the 72-year-old Wurst said late Friday at a gala in Reno. "It would rectify the wrongs of the past. Times have changed so much."
Nevada senator Harry Reid, a former boxer and avid fight fan, helped spearhead passage last year of the resolution urging Obama to grant Johnson a pardon. Johnson, who died in a car crash in 1946, served nine months of a one-year and one-day prison sentence in 1920 after returning from exile overseas.
Asked whether Reid would press Obama to issue the pardon, Reid spokesman Jon Summers replied, "That is a decision for President Obama to make."

Qatar is mostly surrounded by the Persian Gulf and has only one land border — Saudi Arabia. The country is an absolute monarchy, ruled by the Al Thani family since the mid-19th century. In geographic size, Qatar may be small — 166th in the world — but its vast energy reserves pack a huge wallop economically.
As I mentioned in last week's article about Paraguay, according to the CIA World Factbook, the state of Qatar's growth in Gross Domestic Product led the world in 2010. And its GDP per capital — at $179,000 — also ranks No. 1.
Expanding by 16.3%, Qatar's economy is "fueled" by oil and gas, amounting to 50% of GDP, approximately 85% of the country's export income and about 70% of government revenues. Qatar has proven oil reserves of 25 billion barrels, which are expected to last at current output levels for more than half a century. And its natural gas reserves make up 14% of the globe's reserves — the third-largest in the world, after Russia and Iran. Qatar continues to invest heavily in energy, with estimates for the next decade ranging around $120 billion.
Although Qatar has only 300,000 citizens, its population has doubled since 2004, as expatriates from all over the world have flocked to its borders to take advantage of the country's growing prosperity and importance in the world, as well as its reputation for adhering to international and corporate governance standards. More than 45% of its work force comes from the Indian subcontinent, 20% from other Arab countries, and 10% from Southeast Asia. The unemployment rate is just 0.5%, an enviable position for any country!
Following the United Arab Emirates, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, Qatar is the United States' fifth-largest export market in the Middle East. Its energy reserves are very compelling for foreign countries, and Qatar has seen some $100 billion in investment monies coming to its shores in recent years, including $60 billion to $70 billion from the U.S. energy sector.
Currently, Qatar allows only 25% foreign ownership in local companies, but experts expect that to change — although not right away.
And that hesitation to increase foreign investment is the roadblock that is holding back the further development of Qatar's stock market — the Qatar Exchange, or DMS, which is fairly young, founded in just 1997.
Right now, only 44 companies are publicly traded in Qatar, and they are valued at about $88 billion. But the country is on the list of possible upgrades to emerging market status this week (along with the United Arab Emirates) from index compiler MSCI Inc. However, most experts believe Qatar hasn't moved fast enough to encourage foreign investment and don't really expect MSCI to upgrade the country this time around, whereas the UAE's much more generous 49% cap on foreign investment is more compelling.

Does this all look a bit hocus pocus? Something spooky is going on in a Yorkshire village...
It's Wayne Rooney? Or is it? Meet Wayne the scarecrow... he isn't so good at scoring goals...
They are all part of the annual Kettlewell Scarecrow festival which has just kicked off in Yorkshire. I hope these guys don't get too close to the barbecue!
Visitors will be able to spot loads of weird and wonderful scarecrows all around the village. Looks like this one might need a push!
The scarecrows are dotted around the village as part of a treasure hunt. Visitors have to see how many they can find! Would you have spotted this guy lurking in the forest?
These two probably aren't going to make it to the 2012 Olympics... row faster!
There are over 100 scarecrows all around the village. These scout-crows look like they're here to stay!
Doesn't look like this ski-crow will be going anywhere fast!
Even the local church gets involved with this lovely wedding scene! We wonder if there's still a cake?

The first Rotary club in our town was founded in 1928. It worked successfully developing and spreading the idea of Rotary throughout the former state until the Second World War. Unfortunately, the war halted regular club operations. After it ended, under the communism, Rotary was more or less forbidden, and the clubs were banned. The ban was interrupted only twenty years ago, when the effort and hardwork of a few people, once again allowed the establishment and operation of Rotary clubs. At that time the first clubs that were reopen are Rotary club of Beograd and Zemun. Since than, eleven more clubs were established and successfully are operating in Belgrade today.
Taking into account all the facts about the life of Rotary in Belgrade and our country, the founders of our club understood that the task before them is even greater and more difficult. Thanks to the joint effort and work of a friendly and sincere good will, RC of Belgrade Vracar has been initiated and established in the year 2010. That same year, in November, we got the club's charter certificate. The club was officially recognized by the parent organization, Rotary International.
The founders of our club were Aleksandar Georgijevic, Darko Reljic and Zlatko Scepanovic.
The club was founded in the year in which as the head of our district stood the Greek Governor Vizarion "Aris" Zahos.
The first meeting we held in the"Djordje" restaurant in Vracar, in May 2010. Later we moved to the restaurant "Aero Club" at Kalemegdan, where we meet today every Wednesday at 20h.
Since the beginning of our first meetings, we have had a dozens of guests and speakers, top experts in various fields.
Gratitude for the establishment of our club we owe to our "godfather club" RC Belgrade International, especially to Maja Rejger, Slobodan Radulovic and Tomislav Šunjka.
Also, we appriciate help from the Special Representative of the Governor, ADG Svetislav Milovanovic.
In the first year of its existence, our club was awarded a special prize for contribution to Rotary community from the President of Rotary International Ray Klinginsmith.
Our mission is to be worthy of the name of our organization, strive to fulfill the expectations of our community and contribute to the common tasks of Rotary which is already more than a hundred years existing and operating worldwide.

PHOTO: Bethenny Frankel Wears Her 4-Year-Old Daughter's Pajamas
Skinnygirl founder and talk show host Bethenny Frankel upset some of her fans this weekend when she posted a picture of herself wearing her 4-year-old daughter Bryn's Hello Kitty pajamas.

In her picture description she said, "This is my daughter's nightgown and PJ shorts. Think we're ready to start sharing clothes yet?" Some fans thought it was cute...others were disturbed, saying, "I know one day, in the future, you will come out and say how ill you were at this time. I'm NOT judging, I don't know you personally… I just know what I see happening to you." Do you think she looks unhealthy?

[Born : 29 - 01 - 1499]
Origin and family backgroundKatharina von Bora was daughter to a family of Saxon landed gentry. According to common belief, she was born on 29 January 1499; however, there is no evidence of this date from contemporary documents. Due to the various lineages within the family and the uncertainty towards Katharina's birth name, there were and are diverging theories about her place of birth. For a long period of time, the manor of Lippendorf near Leipzig was strongly presumed to be her birthplace. The genealogical specialist literature still argues in favour of this presumption. Lately, however, a different view upon this matter has been proposed: that she was born in Hirschfeld and that her parents are supposed to have been a Hans von Bora zu Hirschfeld and his wife Anna von Haugwitz. Neither can be historically proven. It is also possible that Katharina was the daughter of a Jan von Bora auf Lippendorf and his wife Margarete, whose family name has not been established. Both were only specifically mentioned in the year 1505.
Life as a nunIt is certain that her father sent the five year old Katherina to the Benedictine cloister in Brehna in 1504 for education. This is documented in a letter from Laurentius Zoch to Martin Luther, written on October 30, 1531. This letter is the only evidence for Katherina von Bora's time spent within the monastery. At the age of nine she moved to the Cistercian monastery Marienthron (Mary's Throne) in Nimbschen, near Grimma, where her maternal aunt was already a member of the community. Katharina is well documented at this monastery in a provision list of 1509/10. After several years of religious life, Katharina became interested in the growing reform movement and grew dissatisfied with her life in the monastery. Conspiring with several other nuns to flee in secrecy, she contacted Luther and begged for his assistance. On Easter eve, 4 April 1523, Luther sent Leonhard Köppe, a city councilman of Torgau and merchant who regularly delivered herring to the monastery. The nuns successfully escaped by hiding in Köppe's covered wagon among the fish barrels, and fled to Wittenberg. A local student wrote to a friend: 'A wagon load of vestal virgins has just come to town, all more eager for marriage than for life. God grant them husbands lest worse befall." Luther at first asked the parents and relations of the refugee nuns to admit them again into their houses, but they declined to receive them, possibly as this was participing in a crime under canon law. Within two years, Luther was able to arrange homes, marriages, or employment for all of the escaped nuns—except for Katharina. She first was housed with the family of Philipp Reichenbach, the city clerk of Wittenberg, and later went to the home of Lucas Cranach the Elder and his wife, Barbara. Katharina had a number of suitors, including Wittenberg University alumnus Jerome (Hieronymus) Baumgärtner (1498–1565) of Nuremberg and a pastor, Dr. Kaspar Glatz of Orlamünde, but none of the proposed matches resulted in marriage. Finally, she told Luther's friend and fellow reformer, Nikolaus von Amsdorf, that she would be willing to marry only Dr. Luther or him.
Marriage to LutherLuther eventually married Katharina on June 13, 1525 before witnesses including Justus Jonas, Johannes Bugenhagen, and Barbara and Lucas Cranach the Elder. There was a wedding breakfast the next morning with a small company, but two weeks later on June 27, they held a more formal public ceremony which was presided over by Bugenhagen. Katharina was 26 years old, Luther 41. The couple took up residence in "The Black Cloister" (Augusteum), the former dormitory and educational institution for Augustinian friars studying in Wittenberg, given as a wedding gift by the reform-minded John Frederick, Elector of Saxony, who was the son and nephew of Luther's protectors, John, Elector of Saxony and Frederick III, Elector of Saxony. Katharina immediately took on the task of administering and managing the vast holdings of the monastery, breeding and selling cattle, and running a brewery in order to provide for their family and the steady stream of students who boarded with them and visitors seeking audiences with Luther. In times of widespread illness, Katharina operated a hospital on site, ministering to the sick alongside other nurses. Luther called her the "boss of Zulsdorf," after the name of the farm they owned, and the "morning star of Wittenberg" for her habit of rising at 4 a.m. to take care of her various responsibilities. In addition to her busy life tending to the lands and grounds of the monastery, Katharina bore six children: Johannes (Hans) (1526–1575), Elizabeth (1527–28) who died at eight months, Magdalena (1529–42) who died at thirteen years, Martin Jr. (1531–1565), Paul (1533–1593), and Margarete (1534–70); in addition she suffered a miscarriage in 1539. The Luthers also raised four orphan children, including Katharina's nephew, Fabian. Throughout Luther's writings, one can obtain a sense of Katharina's wit and personality, as seen in this exchange: Martin Luther said, "The time will come when a man will take more than one wife." [Katharina] responded, "Let the devil believe that!" The doctor said, "The reason, Katie, is that a woman can bear a child only once a year while her husband can beget many." Katie responded, "Paul said that each man should have his own wife." To this the doctor replied, "Yes, 'his own wife' and not 'only one wife,' for the latter isn't what Paul wrote." The doctor kidded for a long time and finally the doctor's wife said, "Before I put up with this, I'd rather go back to the convent and leave you and all our children."
After Luther's deathWhen Martin Luther died in 1546, Katharina was left in difficult financial straits without Luther's salary as professor and pastor. She was asked to move out of the old abbey and into much more modest quarters with the children who remained at home, but she initially refused. Almost immediately thereafter, Katharina had to leave the Black Cloister on her own at the outbreak of the Schmalkaldic War, from which she fled to Magdeburg. After her return the approach of the war forced another flight in 1547, this time to Braunschweig. In July of that year, at the close of the war, she was at last able to return to Wittenberg. The buildings and lands of the monastery had been torn apart and laid waste. Economically, they could not remain there. Katharina was able to support herself thanks to the generosity of John Frederick I, Elector of Saxony and the princes of Anhalt. She remained in Wittenberg in poverty until 1552, when an outbreak of the Black Plague and a harvest failure forced her to leave the city once again. She fled to Torgau where her cart was involved in a bad accident near the city gates, seriously injuring Katharina. She died in Torgau about three months later on December 20, 1552 at the age of fifty-three and was buried at Torgau's Saint Mary's Church, far from her husband's grave in Wittenberg. She is reported to have said on her deathbed, "I will stick to Christ as a burr to cloth." By the time of Katharina's death, the surviving Luther children were adults. Hans studied law and became a court advisor. Martin studied theology, but never had a regular pastoral call. Paul became a physician. He fathered six children and the male line of the Luther family continued through him to John Ernest Luther, ending in 1759. Margareta Luther, born in Wittenberg on December 17, 1534, married into a noble, wealthy Prussian family, to Georg von Kunheim (Wehlau, July 1, 1523 – Mühlhausen, October 18, 1611, the son of Georg von Kunheim (1480 – 1543) and wife Margarethe, Truchsessin von Wetzhausen (1490 – 1527)) but died in Mühlhausen in 1570 at the age of thirty-six. However, her descendants have continued to modern times, including German President Paul von Hindenburg (1837-1934) and the Counts zu Eulenburg and Princes zu Eulenburg und Hertefeld.

Signs and Symptoms
Acute pancreatitis
About 75% of acute pancreatitis attacks are considered mild, although they may cause the affected person severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, weakness, and jaundice. These attacks cause local inflammation, swelling, and hemorrhage that usually resolve with appropriate treatment and do little or no permanent damage.
About 25% of the time, acute pancreatitis attacks are severe and complications can develop, such as tissue death, infection, low blood pressure, difficulty breathing, shock, and kidney or liver failure. Diagnosing and treating severe attacks as soon as possible are critical to prevent complications and to reduce inflammation and limit infection.
When symptoms develop, it is important to see a health practitioner both because symptom severity does not necessarily reflect the amount of damage that may be occurring and because other conditions that require different treatments may cause similar symptoms.
Chronic pancreatitis
People with chronic pancreatitis may have recurring attacks with symptoms similar to those of acute pancreatitis; these attacks often increase in frequency as the condition progresses. The most common symptom observed is pain in the mid-abdomen that may radiate to the mid-back, which usually lasts at least several hours at a time.
Over time, the pancreatic tissue becomes increasingly scarred and the cells that produce digestive enzymes are destroyed, causing pancreatic insufficiency, weight loss, malnutrition, ascites, pancreatic pseudocysts (sacs of fluid and destroyed tissue that can become infected), and fatty stools. As the cells that produce insulin are destroyed, the affected person may become diabetic.
Pain with chronic pancreatitis may be severe and continuous or intermittent. It may be made worse with eating/drinking and drinking alcohol.
