Spider-like robots which are equipped with 3D printing technology have been developed to work together and construct complex structures and surfaces.
Researchers in the US have demonstrated a prototype of these bots, called SiSpis. They could be the latest step in the development of autonomous mobile manufacturing techniques.
A team at Siemens Corporate Technology's Princeton campus developed the devices which Siemens' believes could have a major role in manufacturing. Livio Dalloro, who heads up the group behind the systems, said to The Engineer: "We are looking at using multiple autonomous robots for collaborative additive manufacturing of structures, such as car bodies, the hulls of ships and airplane fuselages."
How do the Siemens SiSpis Work?
The SiSpis were both designed and built almost entirely in-house. Each spider has been underpinned by a modified version of Siemens' NX PLM software.
On top of this, every spider is able to print a cornstarch-and-sugarcane substance (known as PLA), so each has an extruder similar to that of a 3D printer.
The robots also have both laser scanners and cameras onboard. They allow them to figure out exactly where they are meaning they also know the range of their 3D printer arm.
The SiSpis will know how much of an area they can cover. The other robots use the same technique to cover neighboring areas. This means that two or more devices can easily collaborate on the additive manufacture or surface processing of a single object or area.
This is all down to algorithms which allow multi-robot task planning and means by dividing each area into vertical boxes, the robots can work collaboratively to cover even complex shapes.
Another fascinating aspect about these spiders may be the fact that because they exactly know where they are, a device is able to autonomously find its way back to a charging station when its batteries are low. This is after they transmit a progress report to a recharged, ready-to-go spider, of course.
What do you think about these spider bots? Let us know in the comments.

Examples Of "Hollywood Goes Swingin" Cheers (1976 - 2000s)
This post is a compilation of examples of "Hollywood Swingin'" ("Hollywood Goes Swingin") or similarly titled cheers/rhymes that I have heard or found online as of this date. [Note: Additional examples have been added since this post was first published. Those examples are at the bottom of this post, regardless of their collection date.]
There's no doubt that these "Hollywood Goes Swingin" cheers/rhymes were inspired by Kool & The Gang's 1974 hit R&B/funk hit record "Hollywood Swingin'. Click https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_Swinging for information about that record.
The notes for the vinyl record Old Mother Hippletoe: Rural and Urban Children's Songs (New World NW 291) documents that within two years of the release of Kool & The Gang's "Hollywood Swinging" record, African American school girls in Washington, D.C." were performing a cheer entitled "Hollywood Now Swingin'".
All of the examples of "Hollywood Swingin" that I've found to date which include demographic notations are from African American females. However, it's very possible that females who aren't African American have chanted or chant these rhymes.
I've found examples of "Hollywood Goes Swingin'" cheers/rhymes from Washington, D.C., Houston, Texas, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Chicago, Illinois, and Birmingham, Alabama.* Other examples are found without notations of the city that the examples come from. However, it seems likely that this cheer and certain other cheers (such as "Hula Hula" and "Fly Girl") were known to African American girls throughout much of the United States. Notice how similar many of these examples are, particularly those examples from the 1980s and on.
I can't say whether "Hollywood Goes Swingin'" and those other cheers/rhymes are still chanted or performed the same way or at all. I'd love to hear from any readers who know or knew these examples (hopefully with demographic information included-particularly city and year that the example was chanted and how it was performed.)
*This is an updated geographical list as of June 7, 2016.

Recorded 1976 in Washington, D.C., by Kate Rinzler.
"Unlike the more communal games, neighborhood cheerleading as performed by girls in Washington, D.C., requires rehearsal and is often dominated by a single dynamic girl who solicits recruits and kicks out slackers. Girls practice by themselves, best friends cheer together, groups proliferate, and everyone who wants to gets into the act."...

The preface to this book indicated that the examples were collected from Black school children in Houston, Texas. No rhyme categories or performance descriptions are given for any of those examples.
Examples #3 & #4 [Update #5: added June 2, 2016]
These three examples of "Hollywood Swinging" chants From GreekChat.com. Commenters who participated in that 2003 discussion were members of historically Black Greek letter sororities. One commenter wrote that these examples are "inspired by the 1970s". Another commenter wrote that she and a friend who remembered a certain rhyme were 23 and 24 years (in 2003). Yet another commenter had the screen name "Honeykiss1974". The "1974" is probably the year of her birth. Given the fact that some commenters mentioned just graduating or preparing to graduate from universities, it's likely that most of these examples of cheers/rhymes were from the 1980s. That said, one example entitled "Tell it" mentions the rapper Nas who wasn't active until 1991.

These two examples are from lipstickalley.com's "Hood Cheers" 2006 discussion thread (remembrances of childhood cheers). Given the title of the thread, it's probable that are the participants are Black. A commenter wrote that these examples "took her back to the summer of the 80s". [08-18-2006, 11:59 AM #24

Examples #8 - #11 were collected by me in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (from African American pre-teenage girls). Click http://cocojams2.blogspot.com/2014/10/g-h-hand-clap-jump-rope-rhymes-examples.html for more notes on these examples.
[Both girls] Hollywood.
Hollywood goes swingin.
Hollywood goes SWINGIN.
Swingin for the good times.
Swingin for the bad times.
[One girl]: My name is Teneisha
and I'm number 9.
I'm kickin it with Ginuwine.*
If you ever see me on the street,
you better speak.
"Long time, no see."
Sexy as I wanna be.
Some hittin me high.
Some hittin me low.
Some hittin me in my-
Don't ask what.
My b u t t b u t t butt.
That's what.
-Teneisha (10 years) and Antoinette (11 years) (African American females, East Hills section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 1998; collected by Azizi Powell, 1998
Kickin it" means "relaxing with", "hangin" with (socializing with).
*"Ginuwine" is a popular young African R&B singer. Three other late 1990s variations of this line that I have heard are "Kickin it with Busta Rhymes (the name of a popular male Hip-Hop star) "Kickin it with Scooby Doo": "Scooby Doo" is the name of a canine cartoon figure) and "Kickin it with Winnie the Poo"- the name of a fictitious bear in children's stories.
This was performed as a two person hand clap rhyme. I was surprised to see this as I had always saw it performed as a foot stomping cheer, or at least that's my memory of this rhyme. I've asked my daughter about this (as she was a child of the 1980s). But she can't remember whether "Hollywood Swingin'" was performed as a cheer or as a hand clap rhyme." I documented that my daughter who was with me when I collected this rhyme showed Teneisha and Antoinette the movements for foot stomping cheers. They indicated that they'd never seen "Hollywood" "done" like that. They only knew it as a hand clap rhyme.
However, consider that hand clap rhymes are usually chanted in unison. That the hand clap partners take turns chanting lines in this (and in other) "Hollywood" rhymes seems to me to suggest that this rhyme did indeed start out as a foot stomping cheer. Also, notice other "Hollywood Swinging" examples on this page that were called "cheers". Hmmm.

-African American girls and boys; Northview Heights Buddy Program, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, August 19, 1999; collected by Azizi Powell
This rhyme was performed as a hand clap routine. The girls who shared this rhyme said that the line might be "Hollywood keeps swingin". The dash means to pause one beat.
The girls said that another version is "swingin for the good times /swingin for the bad times/ swingin every time.

Both girls:
Hollywood, Hollywood
Hollywood goes swingin
Partner #1:
My name is Raya and I'm number 2
Kickin it with Scooby Doo
Hit me high
Hit me low
Hit me where you wanna go.
Repeat the entire rhyme with the partner #1 saying the lines that partner #1 said, but substitute her name or nickname and (preferably) change the number rhyme. (Each number has one or more rhymes that can be memorized and chanted according to the girl's preference. Number rhymes can also be made up. However, if "Hollywood Swingin" was a foot stomping cheer, the girl who actually was the second soloist, probably would have chanted "I'm number 2" and the soloist who was number 9, probably would have chanted "I'm number 9".).
-ConRaya E. (11 years); Sha'Ona K. (11 years), African American girls; Pittsburgh, PA; 6/12/2008
I collected this rhyme during these girls' school lunch period (when I was a substitute teacher at that school) My recollection is that these two girls basically recited the rhyme and didn't do any movements. Although I didn't write down anything about how this rhyme was performed, the fact that I wrote "partner" suggests that the girls said it was a hand clap rhyme.
There are a number of similar titles for this rhyme. Among them are "Hollywood", "Hollywood Rocks Swingin", and "Hollywood Keeps Swinging". The tune for the handclap rhyme (and the foot stomping cheer with the same name) is very similar to Kool & The Gang's "Hollywood Swingin'" 1974 record. However, the tempo for examples that I've observed of the rhyme/cheer is somewhat faster.
Here's a handclap called hollywood!
(person 1) My name is (your name) im number one my reputation's just begun so turn around and touch the ground get back up and break it down
(person 2) you think you're bad

Zoe and Kalyse are the names of the girls in this video.
The girls may be saying "swimming" instead of "swinging".
Notice that this is a dialogue between two people. For instance, one person says "Ooh, she thinks she's cute." And the person who is being addressed says "Cute enough to steal your boo".
In the context of this rhyme, "bad" means "very good".
When girls say it "boo" can mean your boyfriend" (or, when boys say it "your girlfriend)".

15. BEVERLY ROAD GOES SWINGING [Excerpt]
From Mama's Girl by Veronica Chambers
Beverly Road go swinging
Beverly Road go swing-ing
Beverly Road go swinging
Beverly Road go swing-ing
Ooh she thinks she's bad
Baby, I know I'm bad
Ooh, she thinks she cool
Cool enough to steal your dude
From http://www.amazon.com/Mamas-Girl-Veronica-Chambers/dp/1573225991 Publisher: Riverhead Books (May 1, 1997)
"On the streets of Brooklyn in the 1970s, Veronica Chambers mastered the whirling helixes of a double-dutch jump rope."
These two excerpts preface the author's remembrances of jumping double dutch rope with her girlfriends.
I found this excerpt in the following Google book:
Growing Up Ethnic in America: Contemporary Fiction About Learning to Be American
By Maria Mazziotti Gillan, Jennifer Gillan
"Beverley Road" is probably a folk processed substitution for the word "Hollywood". As such, it's one of the earliest, if not the earliest examples that I've found of "Hollywood Goes Swinging".
Here's information about Beverley Road (Brooklyn)
"Beverley Road is a local station on the BMT Brighton Line of the New York City Subway. It is located over a private right-of-way at Beverly Road between Marlborough Road/East 15th Street and East 16th Street in the neighborhood of Flatbush, Brooklyn. It is served by the Q train at all times."
This pdf file also contains an excerpt of a rhyme that reads like another version of "Hollywood Goes Swinging": http://drshantesays.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/LaunchExcerpt.pdf excerpt from Dr. Shante's book, Believing Bigger:
A 31-Day Faith Journey, available March 1, 2016:
"Oooh! She think she cool…Cool enough to steal your dude. Oooh! She think she fine...
Fine enough to blow his mind. Awww girl stop your lying! At least my (man) didn't
leave me crying."
The author, Dr. Shante, indicates that she and her friends sang this while playing jump rope when they were three and four years old.

Group: Uh, you thank (think) you bad
Solo: Bad enough to make you mad
Group, Uh, you thank you cool

fine enough to kick yo' duke
Everyone: say what, say what
say what say what say what
-Joi;(Birmingham, Alabama; 1990s), cocojams.com, 3/23/2008
Note that the word "thank" (in the line "Uh, You thank you bad" etc.) is probably not a typo but is a purposeful Black word/pronunciation that means "REALLY think" . Another similar example is "sang" for present tense of sing, meaning "to sing very well", especially "to sing soulfully really well".

Here are some random thoughts about these examples:ReplyDelete
"Hollywood Swinging" are introductory cheers/rhymes that combine bragging and taunting. The girls brag about how sexy and "cool" they are. They taunt the unnamed person or persons who the cheer/rhyme is addressed to.
As I previously mentioned in this post, most hand clap rhymes have a unison voice. The format that "Hollywood Swinging" cheers/rhymes use of having individual chanters take turns as the soloist is a better fit for what I refer to as "foot stomping cheers".
The number rhymes that are found in most of these "Hollywood Swinging" examples are also used for certain other cheers.
In the line "My name is ___ and I'm cool in the gang", the girls aren't saying that they are the R&B/Funk group "Kool & The Gang" although this is a play on words. Instead, the girls are saying that they are "cool" (i.e. "hip", up to date with the latest urban street culture). Saying that you were "cool and the gang" was a somewhat familiar phrase in the late 1970s-1980s. But I don't think that that saying is used much nowadays. And I also doubt that many girls chanting that saying in the 1990s even knew who the R&B group Kool & The Gang are.
Notice the inclusion of the word "dynamite" in a number of these examples.
Notice also the inclusion of references to astrology sun signs in a number of these examples. Sun sign astrology references were really popular in 1970s and 1980s American culture. As such, those references show up in a number of R&B and Pop songs and also in a number of African American cheers.
In the example given as #5, regarding the line "because this light chick don't take no jiiiiiiiiivvveeee", "light chick" refers to the color of that Black girl's skin. "Jive" means something fake, worthless, crap, foolish".
The "who thinks the bad" lines in some of these examples are lifted from the "Hula Hula" cheer (also found as "Who la Who la" or some similar sounding words.) Click http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2012/05/slang-meaning-of-bad-in-songs.html for a pancocojams post that includes two examples of that cheer.

Epps, who's a Fellow at the DeYoung and curates different film series and panel discussions at the museum each month, calls the sequel an homage to his home and the fuel for a diverse career in film and television. He also labels it a snapshot of a neighborhood that's quickly changing under widespread redevelopment. We spoke with Epps a few days ago.
Describe the impact the first film had on your life.
Well, I was caught in the cycle of all of the black market activity, I wasn't separate from that, so I was trying to figure out what direction to take my life to. And that film affected my life like it affected some people who participated in it, where it gave them a mirror reflection of who they were and what was going on around them in their community. Even though I created it, I was also a spectator in terms of being able to learn from the community and get a lot of insight from different people who could share something that was meaningful. It was all that kind of stuff that came out of it for me in terms of it being a learning experience.
And then being able to have this sort of groundbreaking underground film, just the notoriety behind it, I was the center of that notoriety so I received a lot of recognition and invitations and travel and film festivals. All of that was an educational experience for me and opened my life up to opportunities that I probably would have never had the opportunity to experience. Like they'd fly you to a festival in Miami or Brazil and they'd pay for your round trip tickets and hotel accommodations.
All that kind of stuff, I mean, what more could you ask for? That was something that came along with that ride that I didn't even conceive or think about, like I'd do this film and have a chance to hit the red carpet and do all this other stuff. I was thinking about being creative, because I was working with the Film Arts Foundation and I had an interest in public access television and doing all of that stuff over the years. And it all climaxed into this story about being in Hunters Point.
A lot of people praise it because you brought the cameras into places where people can't just go, and the after-effect is that it brought you to places where you probably thought you'd never be able to go.
And the community along with me, because I was able to showcase the film at all these different film festivals and people that would never know about Bayview-Hunters Point could get a view of it in that context. So it was a win-win; I was there, but I was also showcasing the community in front of hundreds and thousands of people. And millions probably now because of bootlegs and all the technologies.
I put my life on the line in so many ways because I wanted to tell an authentic story. There were times of danger and times when there wasn't [overt] danger but it just comes with the environment.
With so much land-grabbing and redevelopment there now, how are some of the ways that the sequel shows a community that is already starting to look different?
Redevelopment is on the fast track in that community. You see in the film that they've already broken ground with West Point, where I grew up -- a lot of the projects there are torn down already. It's still there but it's changing fast and people are being pushed out and moved to different cities like Antioch and Oakland and Vallejo. There are a lot of kids in Bayview-Hunters Point and that brings a certain amount of vibrancy, but it's not looking good in terms of how it's gonna look five years from now. It will all be new development, and I'm not sure that the people who live there will be the ones who occupy that new development.
Why do developers believe the neighborhood will be appealing to other sectors of the community when there's so many problems relating to environmental waste, which is an issue illustrated pretty vividly with testimonials about health problems in the film? Are they banking that people won't know about that?
Yeah, they're banking on that and they've been really savvy with marketing and promotion and the changing of streets and sections. They're changing the name of certain sections and saying a lot of deceptive things. Like, it won't be Bayview-Hunters Point and they'll have a whole other name. Golden Gate Fields, or something.
Dogpatch Heights?
They'll change the name and there are people from different professions within the tech sector coming here from all over the world who are not from here so they're not familiar. They don't know the history of the community. They just know it's a convenient space to where they need to work. So that's how it's happening.
When did you first start seeing kids tattooing Straight Outta Hunters Point on their bodies?
There were a couple of occasions with the little homies. First a friend of mine that worked at juvenile hall told me about a young dude who had Straight Outta Hunters Point tattooed on his elbow, but I didn't really pay it any attention. And then I was in my hood -- West Point, Middle Point Road -- it was a hot day, and some young homies on the block had on wife beaters and I saw one [from a distance] that said "Hunters Point" and I looked closer and saw the "Straight Outta." I was [shocked] but it wasn't a big thing to them.
I asked, "When did you get this tattoo?" And he said, "Aw, I been had one and whatshisname got one, too." There were people I knew who had them, but I heard there were about five or six people that I didn't know who had them, too. That really struck a chord with me and told me that this has more impact than I think. Someone got a tattoo of the film that you made? That lets you know that people take ownership of it, too.
But you don't even have it as a tattoo?
I don't have a tattoo at all, ha ha! My cousins and little nephews all wanted us to get a tattoo of the brain logo of my company Mastamind. They're all in the streets and they wanted all of us, like 50 of us, to go and get them at the same time. I was like, hell nah!
I'm gonna rep my hood 'til I die and no matter how far I go, I can't really get away from it because the connections are like family, the roots run deep. All I can do is try to be an example by what I do in terms of my livelihood. I'm not into any illegal or illicit activities like drug sales. I do it a different way and that kind of helps them see that you can use your God-given talent to make it work for you.

|Re: Cocoon2 and Dynamic Site maps
|Sun, 25 Jun 2000 07:08:43 GMT
I am not exactly sure I understand the thoughts are this, but a dynamically created/modified sitemap, is as powerful as a nuclear bomb with a 10 second fuse. However, I can imagine that certain applications would possibly want different pipelines depending on the request that is currently not possible with the sitemap specification, but I think I would recommend (at least for the moment) a custom designed Sitemapper in such a case. (The Sitemapper is pluggable, is it not?) Stefano, I just came to think about what you said about Perl; "Common things should be easy, complex things should be possible." Ring a bell?? Is that not what you quickly stamp as FS? Just wondering in the light of Jorg's question...

EtherChannel /Port Aggregation
On Cisco documentation on EtherChannel, it states "A Gigabit EtherChannel bundles individual Gigabit Ethernet links into a single logical link that provides the aggregate bandwidth of up to eight physical links."
My question is if I bundle 5(Gbps) ports to one EtherChannel logica interface, would this provide a total of 5x5=25Gbps for the link? If so, does that mean the switch would be capable of sending and receiving packets at 25Gbps on one port?
Any clarification on this is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Mac-addresses are only used on the same vlan. So if the source hosts are on the same vlan then yes you could use src-mac to load-balance and different hosts would get sent across different links.
But if the source hosts are on a different vlan then remember that the mac-addresses of the source hosts are not carried across vlans ie.
H1 -> (fa0/0)R1(fa0/1) -> S1
H1 is a host on vlan 10
R1 is a router
S1 is the server
H1 sends a packet to S1.
src IP = H1
dst IP = S1
src mac = H1
dest mac = fa0/0 on R1
R1 forwards packet on to S1
src IP = H1
dst IP = S1
src mac = fa0/1 on R1
dest mac = S1
So you can see that for hosts on different vlans/subnets than the server the src mac-address would always be the fa0/1 interface of R1. So traffic load balanced on src/dst mac-address would always use the same link for all hosts.

text: Politics 28 February 2010 How to rally the Tory troops Michael Gove didn't deliver a speech, so much as a series of "dog whistles". Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML When, three months ago, an Ipsos MORI poll for the Observer put the gap between the two main parties at just 6 per cent -- in contrast to the more common double-digit Tory lead -- it was seen as an outlier at best, a freak by most. But now, in the course of seven days, we've seen successive polls showing the Tory lead down to 6, 5 and today -- startlingly -- just 2 points. The Sunday Times/YouGov poll is the talk of the Conservative party spring conference here in Brighton. Or rather, it's the hushed whisper. Every few yards delegates gather in twos and threes to discuss it; stoicism combines with fatalism and fear. Meanwhile, a BBC crew is barging around a Metropole antechamber "vox popping" on the same subject. Through into the hall, the atmosphere is subdued (so far). Shadow cabinet ministers take turns to warm up the frigid hall before Dave's appearance: it's a tougher than expected gig for many. Not for Michael Gove, however, who's got the measure of his audience. The shadow schools secretary doesn't deliver a speech, so much as a series of "dog whistles". Although he summed up his speech, and Tory education policy, as "social justice combined with hard Conservative common sense", it would be more accurate to précis it thus: "Discipline, authority: hurrah. Human Rights Act, health and safety, thugs and Ed Balls: boo hiss!" Nor did he forget to deploy the "five more years of Gordon Brown" line you will hear a dozen times a day once the official campaign kicks off. And he threw in the spectre of "five more years of Ed Balls" for good measure. This is an audience that loves to hate a pantomime villain, perfect to take minds off the front page of the Sunday Times. For a while at least.

You've told us you get into "Frozen" with your kids, but what about whether or not they join in? These guys call themselves "good looking parents" and are lip syncing one of the GREAT songs from the movie, while their daughter basically wants nothing to do with it.
Okay...this is adorable.
By the way, does your family do anything like this? Do you do any lip-syncing? Keep listening and it might land you some fabulous prizes!!!

WordPress is one of the most inclusive pieces of software today, and WordCamps — conferences about WordPress itself — are too. To make each WordCamp as inclusive as possible, and especially a WordCamp as big as WordCamp Europe, we really, really need your help. Albert Schweitzer, a German philosopher, born in the late 19th century once said – "Wherever you turn, you can find someone who needs you. Even if it is a little thing, do something for which there is no pay but the privilege of doing it. Remember, you don't live in the world all of your own." And that is the real truth. We don't live in a world alone. As individuals, we can do all so much; but if we work together, there is no limit to what we can achieve.
At WordCamp Europe, we need your help. We are building the biggest volunteer team ever, as we're trying to accommodate 3000 people that will learn and contribute to WordPress during the three amazing days. You can apply to volunteer today, but if you are still thinking about it – read what our past WCEU volunteers told us about their experience during the event.

Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Lisa Erdman grew up in a bicultural household, spending much of her life navigating between the United States and the Dominican Republic. Over the past fifteen years, she has worked in variety of environments as an artist, graphic designer, writer, educator, and performer. Lisa has participated in two, month-long artist residencies: one at the Red Gate Gallery in Beijing, China (2006), and the other at the Hungarian Multicultural Center in Budapest, Hungary (2008).
Using corporate parody and satirical humor, Lisa's multimedia art explores the politics of gender, race, and cultural identity. She is interested in examining the internal and external mechanisms that shape our personal identities and our sense of cultural reality. In the process of this investigation, her artwork borrows from the concepts of surrealism, political satire, science fiction, and absurdist performative strategies reminiscent of the Fluxus and Dadaist traditions.
Since 1992, Lisa's videos, installations, and performances have been presented in such venues as: The Kitchen Performance Space in New York City; The Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki, Finland; SIGGRAPH Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques in Boston; the IDBA Bank and Cultural Center in Washington D.C.; and the Cine Estudiantil Latino Film Festival in Enseñada, Mexico.
Lisa Erdman's academic degrees include a Bachelor of Science in Dance and Interarts & Technology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison ('94), and a Master of Fine Arts in Electronic Arts from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York ('97). Currently, Lisa lives and works in Helsinki, Finland.

The law is a complex and evolving combination of state and federal legislative enactments, administrative decisions, and court decisions. Differences of opinion are common. If you acted in reliance on advice that turns out to be incorrect, the ability to withdraw your plea will still depend on many factors, including but not limited to timeliness. For example, publicly wringing one's hands for several months on line without ever consulting post-conviction counsel in the real world is likely to be construed by an appellate court as failure to act in a timely fashion.

Avvo has taken away the ability to agree with questions after a certain period of time. So, now I have to comment to say "I agree." I agree.
You may be able to reopen the case by filing a motion with the court in which you were convicted. The judge must rule in your favor before the case will be reopened. This is not commonly done, but is not impossible. You must be able to articulate a compelling reason for reopening the case. Understand that the more time that has gone by since you were convicted, the more difficult it will be to get the court to agree to this.
In a situation where the witnesses have all had many months or years to have their memories of the events surrounding your criminal case fade or disappear completely, the prosecutor is not going to want to be put in a position to have to take your case to trial. The judge will not see this as a fair and just way to handle the case. Therefore, you will need a very compelling reason before the judge will agree to reopen the case.

Obviously I prefer to use that format. I have an XSLT > transformation to make it HTML, and I distribute that HTML version of > the texts. Is that source? Yes, it seems the question here is *whose* "preferred form for modifications"? The GPL appears to assume there is a general consensus on this, and there may not be. It's clearly going to be a judgement call, but I'd guess that "in a standard format" which will be understood by potential modifiers is more important than "in the original form" which may not be. Of course in your specific case, I think it'd be better to have your original XML *and* the XSLT translator so that the HTML can be generated from it. The question, I would suppose though is not one of "best practice" but of "permissable practice", and I think the HTML is good enough. > Should a programmer who writes FORTRAN release that code, or the > automated conversion to C? I'd want the Fortran. Fortran is a standard, widely available language, and my experience with automatic translators says that they don't always generate clean/readable code. I'd say the same about flex/bison (or lex/yacc) code. > I guess it's similar to the old XCF versus JPEG/GIF/PNG debate. I > would say it depends on the intended use of the file. If the layers > and other information in the XCF is no longer relevant, the PNG is > just as much the source as the XCF. If it's likely that people want > to edit I think the issue with XCF was that the Gimp project didn't want to be tied to XCF as an exchange format (reserving the ability to change it -- though I find that disturbing as it means my own XCF files might be obsoleted by an upgrade, so I think they have the interchange problem anyway). But I digress. ISTM that everything XCF does can be modelled in SVG, which suggests that a better "source form" for an image constructed of layers would be an SVG (rather than PNG, which loses the layering information). Unfortunately, I don't know of any XCF<->SVG converters, so it wouldn't be so easy on developers. This is constantly an issue with artistic works because much of the "source" usually gets thrown away in the process of development (otherwise there would be heaps and heaps of it -- it's a bit like asking not for the current source code of a program, but the entire version history with diffs, and while that might be nice, I don't think it's ever been considered a requirement for "freeness"). In general, vector formats (like SVG) are better for collaboration, but to limit exclusively to vector formats would rule out a lot of people who don't know how (or simply don't want ) to use them. After all, it's still a lot harder to make certain kinds of art in a vector editor. Cheers, Terry (Not a debian developer or a lawyer.

The Breaking Wave is one of Nevil Shute's most poignant and psychologically suspenseful novels, set in the years just after World War II.
Sidelined by a wartime injury, fighter pilot Alan Duncan reluctantly returns to his parents' remote sheep station in Australia to take the place of his brother Bill, who died a hero in the war. But his homecoming is marred by the suicide of his parents' parlormaid, of whom they were very fond. Alan soon realizes that the dead young woman is not the person she pretended to be. Upon discovering that she had served in the Royal Navy and participated along with his brother in the secret build-up to the Normandy invasion, Alan sets out to piece together the tragic events and the lonely burden of guilt that unravelled one woman's life. In the process of finding the answer to the mystery, he realizes how much he had in common with this woman he never knew and how "a war can go on killing people long after it's all over."

Chapter One
There was a layer of cumulus, about seven-tenths, with tops at about five thousand feet as we came to Essenden airport; we broke out of it at two thousand and we were on the circuit downwind, with the aerodrome on our starboard wing. I sat with my eyes glued to the window looking out at Melbourne, because this was my home town and I had been away five years. The hostess touched me on the arm and drew my attention from the scene, and told me to fasten my safety belt. I had not seen the sign light up.
"Sorry," I said.
She smiled, and then she said quietly, "Would you like any help down the gangway, sir?"
I shook my head. "I'll wait till the others are all of. I'm alright if I take my time."
She nodded and moved on, courteous and efficient. I wondered how she knew that going downstairs was the tricky part; perhaps that was a feature of her training, or perhaps the hostesses on the machine from San Francisco had told her about me at Sydney. I turned back to the window to watch the approach to the runway and the landing, and I remained absorbed in the techniques till the machine came to a standstill at the terminal building and the engines came to rest.
While the other passengers got off I sat at the window trying to see who was there to meet me. It was likely to be my father. I hadn't given them much notice for I had only telegraphed the time of my arrival from Sydney when I landed there the previous evening and it was barely two o'clock now; moreover they weren't expecting me for another four days and we live a hundred and twenty miles from the airport. The wing hid a good part of the enclosure but I saw nobody I knew. I wondered if I should have to go in to town to the Club and telephone home from there.
I followed the last passenger down the aisle to the door, and thanked the hostesses as I passed them. I made slow time down the steps but once on the flat I was all right, of course, and walked over to the enclosure. It was Harry Drew, our foreman, come to meet me. It was a warm, summery spring day and Harry was very smart. He is a man about forty years old, with dark, curly hair and a youthful figure. He was wearing an opulent-looking American shirt without a jacket on that warm day, a brown shirt buttoned to the neck and worn without a tie; his brown-green grazier's trousers were clean and newly creased and held up with a brand new embossed belt with a large, shiny buckle. He caught my eye and half raised his hand in salutation.
I passed through the gate and he came to meet me. "Morning, Harry," I said. "How are you today?"
"Good, Mr. Duncan," he replied. "We didn't expect you till Friday." He took the overnight bag from me.
"I came along a bit quicker than I thought I would," I said.
He was clearly puzzled, as they all must have been, by my telegram. "Did you come on a different ship?" he asked. "We thought you'd be flying from Fremantle, arriving Saturday morning."
"I didn't come that way," I said. "I had to stay in London a bit longer. I flew all the way, through New York and San Francisco to Sydney."
"Come the other way round?"
"That's right," I said. We passed into the airport building. "How's my mother, Harry? She's not here, is she?"
"She didn't come," he said. "She gets out most fine days, but sitting in the chair most of the time, you know. She don't go away much now. Three months or more since she went down to Melbourne." He paused by the newspaper stand. "The colonel, he was coming down to meet you, but we had a bit of trouble."
"What sort of trouble?" I enquired.
"The house parlourmaid," he said. "Seems like she committed suicide or something. Anyway, she's dead."
I stared at him. "For God's sake! How did it happen?"
"I don't really know," he said. "It only happened this morning, and I left about half past ten to get down here to meet you. She took tablets or something, what they give you to make you sleep."
"She did it last night?"
"That's right, Mr. Alan."
"Who found her?"
"She didn't come down to her work. They get down to the kitchen in the house about six or quarter past and have a cup of tea. When she didn't come down Annie went up to her room about seven."
"Old Annie found her?"
"That's right. She was dead. The colonel rang through for me to go up to the house, 'n soon after I got there Dr. Stanley, he arrived. I suppose the colonel telephoned for him. But there wasn't anything he could do; she was dead all right. So then they got on to the police, and just about then your telegram came from Sydney saying you'd be coming in today. The colonel, he couldn't leave home with all that going on to come down here to meet you, so he said to me to take the Jaguar and come instead."
I stood by the paper stand while the crowd milled around us. It was a muddle and a mess, and I was deeply sorry for my father and mother. My father was over seventy and my mother not much less, and neither of them in the best of health. Too bad that they should have a nuisance of this nature thrust on them.
"What did she do it for?" I asked. "In trouble with some man?"
He wrinkled his brows. "I wouldn't think so," he said. "Coombargana's a small place and not so easy to get away from unless you've got a car of your own, which she hadn't. She couldn't have been going with one of the lads at Coombargana and have no one know about it. I wouldn't think it was that."
"How long had she been with us?"
"About a year. Maybe a bit longer. English, she was."
I nodded; she would have been. English or Dutch or German; an Australian house parlourmaid is rare indeed. "Well I wish to God she'd picked another day to it," I remarked. He grinned, and we went to where the motor coaches stand to claim my luggage.
Meet the Author
Nevil Shute Norway was born in 1899 in Ealing, London. He studied Engineering Science at Balliol College, Oxford. Following his childhood passion, he entered the fledgling aircraft industry as an aeronautical engineer working to develop airships and, later, airplanes. In his spare time he began writing and he published his first novel, Marazan, in 1926, using the name Nevil Shute to protect his engineering career. In 1931 he married Frances Mary Heaton and they had two daughters. During the Second World War he joined the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve where he worked on developing secret weapons. After the war he continued to write and settled in Australia where he lived until his death in 1960. His most celebrated novels include Pied Piper (1942), A Town Like Alice (1950), and On the Beach (1957).

I am pleased to report that Nevil Shute has quickly become a new favorite Author of mine, having read 8 of his books in a row. It is hard to believe that these 1940s and 1950 books are indeed timeless and extremely enjoyable to read some 60 or 70 years later. The only challenge is mine: translating English language expressions from England into American English in the year 2011. Except for my failures to understand these expressions, all of Shute's books are touching and personal stories. They are extremely enjoyable to read.

Tinie Tempah planning to move to America
Tinie Tempah wants to move to the US.
The 'Girls Like' hitmaker has been enticed by the American way of life after spending a weekend in Las Vegas with Calvin Harris.
Tinie was surprised but intrigued to hear from 32-year-old Calvin that he loves everything about his life in Los Angeles and has no plans to return to his native Scotland.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, the 27-year-old rapper said: "What I wanted to know was how different life in America was - he just said he'd never go back to England.
"It was quite surreal hearing him say that as obviously he must be really happy to say that and must be doing really well."
Tinie found the DJ's outlook inspiring, and despite becoming a major star in the UK he has plans to crack the charts Stateside.
He added: "It's inspiring because I've done really well in the UK, but it elevates your sights and makes you want to do more."
Tinie - who grew up in London - has already started thinking about where he might move to and he thinks New York City would be the perfect destination for him to put down new roots.
He explained: "I'd have a nice apartment in New York somewhere. I like to shop - when I first came over to New York I was the biggest fan of 'Fight Club' and I was buying the infrared Jordans on every visit. I probably have 11 pairs (of those sneakers).
"I like Barneys. I like Central Park, some of the strip clubs - Sue's Rendezvous, yeah I've been there. And I like the food places as well."
After getting a place in The Big Apple, Tinie then has plans to buy a home in a more sedate location.
He said: "Later on, when I get older - I'm 27 now - I'll get a little ranch in LA."

Best Of :: Food & Drink
The posts upon which the ceiling beams rest are photo galleries. Digital pictures, shot by Zoom owner Tess Nguyen, have been blown up and pasted onto the curving surfaces: craggy cliffs in a deep blue bay and villagers harvesting salt from a lagoon in Vietnam; frolicking ducks that look suspiciously like future candidates for ped kee mow (drunken duck with basil). Loud colors--coral, aqua--crackle off the walls. The spindly spread of ductwork, tucked in the ceiling like a wasp, eschews black camouflage in favor of Tour de France jersey yellow. Zoom is a Thai-Vietnamese linkage, and the results can be extraordinary. Instead of rubbery and chewy, thord man plah (deep-fried fish cakes) is supple and moist. Tom yum kai (chicken soup with lemongrass) is bright and complexly layered with flavor. Sizzling beef is juicy, rich and bedded down with separate, firm strands of vermicelli and crisp vegetables. Firmly tender flesh seeds the squid with lemongrass and chili. Decent wines, too, like an Oregon Riesling and a New Zealand Mutua Valley Sauvignon Blanc, which works well with most of this food as long as it doesn't zoom in with a blast of chili.

People who work downtown and in East Dallas pack The Alligator Caf ("Quick & Cajun") for lunch and post-work munchies. Yes, they do serve alligator--fried, grilled, blackened and in jambalaya, gumbo and po-boys. But the best bets are shrimp-and-oyster gumbo, followed by a basket of fried shrimp or whole catfish. Sides go beyond French fries--dirty rice, fried green tomatoes, new potato chive salad and spicy red beans and rice. You can even drive through for a lunch deal: half a muffaletta and a cup of gumbo for about $6. Make like the regulars and hit happy hour after work, Monday through Friday, for $1.75 draft beer and the $2.50 menu: six fried or raw oysters, six hot wings or six boudin balls. (If you have to ask, don't order them.) Friday nights feature live music.
Shaved, rested and ready, Stephan Pyles is ready to turn up the heat again
His hibernation lasted nearly five years. Sure, his torpid state had a few movements and shifts: consulting projects for Hotel ZaZa's Dragonfly and Ama Lur at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center, plus the travel. But he was mostly out of sight.
That was then. Now Stephan Pyles is ready to resume his historic role of slapping Dallas' conventional dining wisdom silly--all with a smile. He's in fighting trim. He's shed his beard. He's scrapped weight training and running for Bikram yoga. He's raised $3 million.
This wasn't a sure thing. After Pyles, 53, left his Star Canyon, AquaKnox and Taqueria Cañonita brood to the fickle fates of Carlson Restaurants Worldwide at the turn of the millennium, he said he had grown weary of the grind of the line, preferring instead to create, taste, orchestrate and move on--all on someone else's dime.
But that's changed. "It's in my blood to be in the thick of it," he insists.
The thick of it is the eponymous Stephan Pyles, a 180-seat restaurant poised to open in November in the Arts District in the circa 1963, George Dahl-designed Southwest Plaza on Ross Avenue. The location is an odd one for Pyles, who seemed perpetually enamored with Uptown. He admits to skepticism of the vaunted downtown revival that has been blathered and boostered about for years. But after sniffing around and locking in a competitive lease on the property, Pyles is swooning over downtown. "I used to think of the Crescent as being the center of gravity in Dallas," Pyles admits. "I think the Nasher [Sculpture Center] has pulled the entire center of gravity to the arts district. I'm right down the street from there."
A remarkable space it is shaping up to be, too. His restaurant features a glass square kitchen in its midst, so that diners can ogle the real-time artwork until they're sated. There's a tapas bar and 20-seat community table near the entrance, so revelers can gorge on the steady parade of eye candy. The entrance has a light sculpture that burbles water into a reflecting pool. A walkway over the pool channels diners to the hostess stand. Pyles still winks, too: Tumbleweed chandeliers dangle in the dining room, and he's trying to score one of the chandeliers from Star Canyon to hang in the private dining room.
What tectonic shifts does Pyles believe are tugging Dallas toward his new roost? Solid and funded plans for parks, bridges and grocery stores, the latter already a reality with the opening of Urban Market this summer in the Interurban Building on Jackson Street. "All of these high-rise people are moving in," he says. "Where the hell are they coming from, the suburbs? It's almost guaranteed that there's some energy being transferred right now, to this area."
And this is where Pyles will perform his new compositions, collectively called New Millennium Southwestern. Sure, Pyles will throw a bone to nostalgia, wedging a bone-in cowboy rib eye, that famous orphan from Star Canyon, into his new menu. But rather than an overt presence, the Southwestern/New Texas touches will form a culinary trellis upon which he will hang Latin blooms as interpreted in Europe and South America.
It's the latest course in a long, strange banquet that began when Pyles was 8 years old working at his family's Phillips 66 Truck Stop in Big Spring decades ago. For the past 25 years, Pyles has been the most prominent of Dallas culinary leaders, driving dining culture's ebbs and flows while he pulled national and international spotlights to the city. Still, it didn't turn out like he thought it would.
"In the early '80s when we were just young punks cooking, we just thought we could change the city and the world and it was going to become this great culinary city," Pyles says. "And there was that potential. I don't know what happened.
"In the '80s we thought that we had created this incredible kind of culture. Instead of importing things, we created this movement and Southwestern cuisine was the hot thing, but it never really completely ignited. Something fell flat." He isn't sure exactly what fell flat.
Maybe it was the stagnating economy in the late '80s, drained by the savings and loan meltdown and the collapse in oil prices. Maybe he and his cohorts were ahead of the Dallas dining brood, exhausting them with the sweep of their movement. It was revived in the 1990s, but whatever the reason, Pyles says Dallas no longer has the energy driving its own specific cuisine that it once had. Look around. We have spots like Nobu, but you can get that in 12 other cities. Pyles says he is often asked by food journalists what young, up-and-coming chefs will shuffle onto the stage where he and ground-breaking chefs such as Dean Fearing and Avner Samuel perform. His answer? There really is no one.
"There aren't any because the young chefs of today are embracing global cuisines," he says. "Back 20 years ago there was 20, 25 of us in the country that got all of the press. And now it's like once every year--every month almost--there's a whole new group of celebrity chefs getting all of this press. And you think, "Where are all of these people coming from?' And there's very few Texans among them."
Pyles believes that after 20 years, Dallas is finally on the edge of greatness. The city's residents--through travel, Internet and cable and satellite television--are much more sophisticated and demanding than they were 25 years ago. The city's core--the magneto for any successful metropolis--is stumbling ever closer to relevance. High-profile projects such as The W, The Ritz and the Hotel Palomar are sure to bring in new energy, style and resources, but it's hard to see how the culinary spectrum can shift to make Dallas markedly different from a dozen or so other cities.
But Pyles is convinced it will happen within three years. "Some people compare us to the new Vegas--I wouldn't go that far," he says. "But I fully expect that Dallas is going to become a great culinary city. I thought that 20 years ago, and it didn't happen. So I stopped hoping for it...But now I think we're really going to become--finally--the world-class city that we've been striving to become for 20 years." --Mark Stuertz
The Goldrush is metro, retro and cool because it's one of those very rare commodities in Dallas, a place that doesn't try to be cool. Businesses come and go in the strip shopping centers at Live Oak and Skillman, but the Goldrush is forever. Good burgers, better migas, a respectable cuppa joe, but don't ask for any coffee that has an Italian name. Regulars run the gamut from East Dallas street characters to Lakewood families with toddlers. If you're lucky, poet/playwright/street preacher Buck Naked will be in the house, and he may even show you his latest postings on the bulletin board. If you're even luckier, he won't be there. You never know what's gonna happen at the Goldrush.

Razzoo's Cajun Café Multiple locations
Prime beef doesn't need much help, really. Just a little salt and pepper plus a grill that flames to, oh, about 2,000 degrees. A few line cooks willing to roast their arms retrieving the steaks help, too. Seems every steak house serves Australian lobster but no big deal. Toss it into boiling water and melt some butter, it's perfect. Ah, but David Holben of Del Frisco's wields culinary talents far beyond the steak-house grill. Great chefs in the Dallas market must create a signature lobster dish, and Holben is known for chicken-fried lobster, a succulent upgrade of the Texas classic. He spent several years cooking intricate and highly rated cuisine at Riviera before turning Culpepper's into a Rockwall destination. Last year he won the coveted Caesar salad competition. Now at Del Frisco's, he's introduced such items as asparagus tempura, tenderloin satays and seared sesame-crusted tuna, along with his famous lobster dish. And that's just the bar menu. Wait until he adds his touch to the dinner menu.

Defining Ergonomics
Ergonomics is the science that "addresses human performance and well-being in relation to various types of jobs, equipment, tools and environments." In other words, it's the study of the way humans work.
The CDC states that "The goal of ergonomics is to reduce stress and eliminate injuries and disorders associated with the overuse of muscles, bad posture, and repeated tasks. This is accomplished by designing tasks, work spaces, controls, displays, tools, lighting, and equipment to fit the employee´s physical capabilities and limitations."
Understanding the Problem
According to the US Department of Labor and Statistics, "in 2008 work-related musculoskeletal disorders "" like nerve damage from typing and injuries caused by improper lifting "" accounted for almost 30 percent of all workers' compensation claims. That's 317,440 claims to be exact, with each claim resulting in a median of 10 days out of work for injured parties and costing state fund employers millions of dollars."
Musculoskeletal disorders are problems occurring in the soft tissue of the body such as muscles, tendons, blood vessels, ligaments and nerves. Common injuries to these tissues caused by lack of or insufficient ergonomics include back pain, chronic soreness, carpel tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and hernias. Injuries to soft tissues often occur not from improper methods or even from accidents but actually from repetitive tasks involving common movements. For example, a job involving typing all or most of the day can eventually result in carpel tunnel syndrome because an individual is doing the same type of movement for a long period of time.
Symptoms of and Treatment for Repetitive Strain
General symptoms of repetitive strain disorders include pain and/or discomfort that fails to recede after a couple of days, swelling, stiffness, tight muscles, inflexibility, numbness, tingling, a feeling of pins and needles and weakness. Ergonomics can help prevent and treat these disorders. Treatment of more advanced cases can include rest, braces, physical therapy and even surgery. But the earlier ergonomics are employed, the less likely these treatments measures will be needed, especially the more invasive ones such as surgery.
Jobs at Highest Risk for Ergonomics Problems
Jobs at highest risk for the repetitive strain injuries that ergonomics can help to prevent and alleviate are ones that have one or more of a variety of risk factors. Those factors include jobs where a worker is subjected to the following:
- High force such as when lifting/carrying or pushing/pulling a heavy load.
- High repetition such as when one does the same type of work for the duration of a day or when one continually uses the same limbs or muscle groups. Examples include pushing a button constantly throughout the day and standing in one place or sitting upright without back support for an extended period time.
- Awkward posture such as when wrists are bent for using a tool, the back is bent forward or twisted, or the neck is bent up, down or to the side.
- Overhead work where arms are held above shoulder height.
- Static work where tools are held steady or an individual must sit for long periods of time.
- Vibration when operating machinery (drill, grinder, etc.) or driving equipment over rough terrain (dump truck drivers for example).
- Contact stress caused when the end of a tool or perhaps a piece of machinery constantly pushes against a part of the body. (Examples include using a screwdriver for long periods of time.)
- Constant exposure to cold such as foodservice workers who handle frozen food or working in a cold environment such as construction workers who work outside in winter.
Repetitive strain injury is a significant workplace issue that companies are continually forced to address in one way or another. To help in that endeavor, stay tuned for Part II next week where implementing and maximizing ergonomics will be discussed along with applying ergonomics outside of a typical workplace environment.
