Lindsay's in love! Lindsay Lohan hasn't shared much about her boyfriend, Egor Tarabasov — but it's clear that she's head over heels.
The Mean Girls star, 29, and Tarabasov, 22, have been dating for less than six months but are already serious about each other and facing engagement speculation. Lohan added fuel to the fire on Tuesday, April 12, when she hit up a Duran Duran concert with a giant emerald ring on her left hand.
So, who exactly is Tarabasov? Us Weekly rounded up five facts about Lohan's new beau:
1. He's a Russian Business Heir
Jackpot? Lohan's man is the son of businessman Dmitry Tarabasov. According to Page Six, Dmitry owns a construction firm and stores similar to Home Depot in Moscow.
2. He's a Real Estate Agent
Tarabasov grew up in Moscow and attended Cass Business School in London. He owns the U.K. real estate agency Home House Estates and is a shareholder of Moscow's Ivy Bank.
3. He Now Lives in London — With Lohan!
The Eastbound & Down actress revealed last month that the lovebirds are now roommates. "Moving in and 'How To Get Your Man To Help' #HTGYMTH 1. Organising Hangers : A happy closet is a happy mind," she captioned an Instagram photo of Tarabasov surrounded by boxes. Lohan has lived across the pond since her two-month run in David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow at the Playhouse Theater in London's West End in 2014.
4. He's Not Shy at All
Tarabasov doesn't mind showing off his abs. Lohan posted a nearly shirtless Instagram photo of her hunky beau last month. "I love him," she captioned the black-and-white shot. Back in January, she also gushed over her man. "You make me smile babe," she wrote.
5. He's Already a Part of the Family
Lohan's parents, Dina and Michael Lohan, approve of Tarabasov. "Yes, he is cute. He's a sweetheart. No, he's just a really good person. And the tabloids are like, 'Oh, he's so much younger.' But he's very mature, very worldly," Dina told Us last month. "They love each other." Michael shared the same sentiment with Page Six. "He's wise beyond his years," he recently said. "He's not a good influence, he's a great influence."

Another First Day of School
I just entered my senior year of high school, and I have mixed feelings about my final year of high school. Sure, I'm excited about moving on to college, which will undoubtedly be more stimulating intellectually, and leaving for another culture for awhile is a welcome prospect. However, after this year is over, I will be leaving behind my family, as well as most (or even all) of my friends. I will also be exiting the comfort of my home for a cramped little dorm room. However, this is my last year, regardless of the pros and cons of the situation, so best to embrace the situation and not overthink the issue.
Again, this post goes against my early intentions of remaining utterly impersonal in my blog entries. I had a birthday recently, so I'm a legal adult now, which is really exciting, since I will be able to vote. More on that later.
To add something literary to this post, there's a fantastic interview with Mark Rowlands up at Cosmoetica. It's not just interesting; it's refreshing and really just fun to read, so give it a look!
Take care,

In Camera Trailer (2009)
01 December 2009 Factual 79 mins
In Camera is part memoir and part meditation on the director's art: Palit revisits characters from his older works, among them the blind Baul singer from Abak Jaye Here and protestors featured in Voices from Baliapal, about an agitation against a missile testing range in Orissa. Palit assesses the impact of these films on their lives and on himself. In keeping with Palit's feelings about the limits of documentary filmmaking, there are many questions but no convenient answers.

MAC Layer Impact on the Performance of Real-Time Cooperative Positioning
This paper analyzes the impact of Medium Access Control (MAC) layer on the performance of real-time cooperative positioning in ad-hoc mobile wireless networks. The probability mass function (pmf) of the latency introduced by the MAC layer is here derived to assess the influence of MAC parameters on the latency and then operate on those to improve the positioning performance while reducing the number of position estimation iterations. Now-a-days, in many wireless applications the information collected or communicated by a wireless node is useless if this is not associated to the node's position. These applications rely on positioning techniques which infer the position by a two-step process.

Cooler, A.K.A. Experiment 500, is an illegal genetic experiment created by Jumba Jookiba. His original design was to cool the temperature by 100 degrees, but Jumba failed, because of a glitch, and now he can only make it 10 degrees colder. His one true place is at the beach, cooling the air around it.
Physical appearance
Cooler is a large, plump blue experiment, roughly in the shape of a triangle. He has a large mouth lower on his face, with his black eyes and his orange nose directly above. His ears are at the point of his triangular figure, with an orange cork shape in between.
Powers and Abilities
Cooler can use his breath decrease the temperature around him by 10 degrees. He can also generate blasts of ice from his hands.
Lilo & Stitch: The Series
Experiment 500 was the 500th genetic experiment created by Jumba with Hämsterviel's funding. He was originally designed to cool the temperature by 100 degrees, but because of a glitch, he can now only make it 10 degrees colder. 500 and the other first 624 experiments were deactivated and smuggled to Earth by Jumba during his mission to capture Experiment 626.
All of the experiment pods were released and scattered across the island of Kauai.
At an unknown point 500 was activated, captured, and named Cooler.
Leroy & Stitch
The first 624 experiments, including Cooler, were rounded up by Leroy and taken to a stadium to be destroyed. However, Lilo, Stitch, Jumba, Pleakley, Reuben and Gantu arrived before the experiments could be destroyed.
It is unknown whether or not Cooler participated in the following battle between the experiments and the Leroy clones.
The Leroys soon gained the upper hand in the battle, but were defeated when Lilo, Stitch, Reuben and several other experiments performed the song "Aloha `Oe", which caused the Leroy army to shut down due to the original Leroy's failsafe.
- Cooler's pod color is blue.

text: Hi everyone -- Starting to think about a trip next October when DS1 will be 3 and DS2 will be 1 (assuming he comes on time this year). We've previously stayed at POR, CSR, Dolphin, and CBR, but without children. We will likely plan to use our own strollers and will have a car as well. Any thoughts on which resorts would be best? Particularly, I'm interested in: 1) Pool areas: kiddie pools and/or zero entry sections 2) Ease of transportation -- I'm not adverse to using the busses, but it seems like it might be a big ole pain when toting strollers 3) Thoughts on DVC resorts? How easy is it to reserve if you don't own DVC? It might be nice to have an area to hang out in while the kiddos nap . . . (We stayed off-grounds at a Residence Inn at DL last year when DS1 was 1 -- it worked out really well to have an extra room). I guess I'm mostly just looking for your experiences and opinions to start to build my knowledge. Thanks! HF24

[manga] who is the strongest espada
I am still wondering who could be the strongest espada, somwhat I am still not convinced that Noitora is the "strongest" espada.
He did state that he was the strongest but he never said that he was espada number 1, so far all of the espada(exept ulquiora, wich is what leads me to believe its him) have proudly stated, "I am espada nuber X" as if they were proud of their number
but in Noitora's case it seems to me that he may be number two, second to ulquiora, but dosent understand why Aizen put him in second as he thinks himselfe better than ulquiora.
Also Ulquiora seems to be the only one to be given "special assignments" as to kidnap orihime (Luppi was not even aware that their fight was only to be used as leverage to convince her to come quietly) and to take care of her.
he seems to knwo about what aizen is planing, unlike other espada(grimm wanted to kill all of the hight spirit powers in karakura town but, aizen's plan involved a lot of high spirit ppl, clearly he doesnt know about the plan)
but some things tends to make us think that he is not that strong, like when he first appeared he said that ichigo's powers was fluctuating, at its low's it was unstable but at it's high's it was greater than his.
my 2 cents

Hmmm. At this point, since we know the strength of a couple of Espada, we can make some speculation on their exact rankings. Let's start out with the Espada who's rank we do know
Zaera Polo Grantz-8th
Grimmjow Jaggerjack-6th
So most of the lower ranked Espada have been revealed except for No.7. Here are my guesses for the ranks of the rest along with the explanations
7th -the muscular, black Espada: In Shounen, the extremely musclebound, bigger guys are generally weaker than the smaller warriors. Bleach seems to follow this formula. Jidanbou who was about 20' tall, was the weakest opponent Ichigo had to fight in SS. Yami, who is also abnormally big is also the weakest Espada. In his picture, the African Espada doesn't look monstrously big, but I'm willing to bet he's still in the lower tier due to his size.
5th - the old man Espada: Old-looking guys are usually pretty strong (Yama-ji) but I don't think he's in the top 3. He appears to be kind of short and squat (not much of a reason to exclude him, but the strongest villains never seem to be short)
4th- the female Espada: She's hot, but let's face it, female characters are never the strongest in Bleach.
3rd - Noitora: Just the fact that he claimed himself to be the strongest means he's not. But he must be high in the ranks to have the ambition to think he's the strongest.
2nd - Ulquorria: Ulq is heavily hinted to be vastrolorde and seems to be Aizen's go-to-guy. I orginally believed him to be no.1 but I have a hard time imagining that the strongest Espada would be introduced so early, even though we haven't seen many of his abilities.
1st - sleepy looking Epada: As a general trend, the more bored, disinterested or sleepy a guy looks in manga the stronger they are. This guy looks like he rather be napping than attending Aizen's meetings and doesn't seemed to be impressed at all by what's going on. He also appears to be completely normal in terms of appearance, another possible indicator that he's really strong.

I always thought they were seated in their ranking order (left side of the table = 1-5, right side = 6-10), which would have made Ulquiorra 1st (plausible), Grimmjow 6th (fact), Appolocrap 8th (now proven fact) and Yammi 10th (fact), but Kaien being 9th instead of 5th ruins the theory.
I mostly agree with Sabaku Kyu, but I am keeping Ulquiorra first. Noitora is HM's Kenpachi. A hell of a fighter, living to fight (but not against small fries) and pretending to be the strongest as long as he keeps winning. Too bad for him he isn't allowed to fight his fellow espadas.

I agree with Kyu mostly Though I think Old Fart deserves to be in top 3 . For Winter war Aizen is most likely going to create perfect Espada so the bottom 5 maybe elimnated . Noitura has to be close to Ulqi in strength . He is one of the few Espada who disresepects Ulqi , he doesnt fear him . SO this arc bottom 5 are going to be introduced with Noitora as an exception

id guess ulqi to be number 1, it will be all the more dramatic one he gets beat seeing as weve seen him since the start and he has so much involvement with the main characters.
i hope mister sleepy isnt number one, though he is likely in the top 4 or 3.

Frankly, now that I think about it, didn't Kubo just create another plot hole with the insertion of Luppi into Espada?
Previously, when Grim was 6, then Luppi should be 7, and that makes Zaera 9, and Kaien 10. This means that Yammy was not an Espada, but when his hand was fixed back, the way Ulqiourra mentioned that if he lost it like Grim, he too would've been kicked out of the Espada means he was and is Espada 10, before and after Grim lost his arm/ousted from Espada. So, unless there was some internal power shuffle concerning Zaera, Kaien, etc, there's technically no way that Yammy would've been no.10. WTF THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

its possible that since it would be too big of a hassle to change the numbers, luppi was just a random arrancar pulled from somewhere.
So thats interesting, the common consensus is that noitora is just another kenpachi, a most powerful wannabe, but in reality far from it.

Though I personally belive Noi isnt in the top 3 I think he maybe in the top 5 .
As Kyu said Espada are not formal or honorific with each other . They do respect authority or orders . GJ doesnt respect Ulqi , but fears him . This can be used as a guaging for power diffrence . Why would you listen to somone who is weaker than you . In Shinji Vs GJ , GJ was a wounded beast with a blood lust If Ulqi wasnt stronger than him he would have resisted Ulqi . But Noi doesnt fear Ulqi he may be close to Ulqi level .
IMO The bottom 5 Espada are going to be introduced in this arc , but Noi stands out . During Winter War the First 5/3 Espada will be very much a part of Perfected Espada . If Noi is in bottom 5 ie 7 I think that chracter will still survive after Ichi .

I really dont know your post was crack intended or serious regarding Wonderweiss ( Crack ) .Perfected espada I didnt say it It was said by Aizen to Gin in chapter 213 pg 19 . The exact wordings were
Once we've assembled the Vastorodes and Perfected the Espada .
At that point of time current Espada were already created and Ulqi Grim and Yami had made apperances . I do belive the top 3 or a max the top 5 ( higly unlikely ) are Vastorde class and they will be assimlated in the so called Perfected Espada

I knew what you were referencing, you just caught my interest. My post might have been misleading. When I said "new type of arrancar" I meant "arrancarized vastorode", but it is true that some of the current Espada are most likely already vastorodes so that wouldn't make Wonderweiss the first. We don't even know what his menos class was so he might not even be a vastorode, but I'm leaning towards the inclination that he is one. I wasn't making a crack about his power level either. He's got to be strong if he was able to take Urahara by surprise like that even if he didn't harm him. And I don't think that Aizen would bother using the Hyogoku's power again unless the arrancar he was creating was extremely powerful.

Maybe Ulquiorra isn't actually a normal Espada, stay with me here, because if as someone said Luppi was number 7 then that means that there are 11 Espada. WHICH DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. So maybe Noitara is number 1 and Ulquiorra is considered something higher, like Gin and Tousen are.
I base this on nothing, just gives you something more to ponder on.

I do remember Urahara being caught off gaurd at Wonderweiss's counter attack and he had a similar reaction to Ulqi when he negated Benihime . But Wonderweiss lacks that killer instinct he was traumatized by death of Luppi .

its possible but based on the 10 seats + aizen during the espada tea time it seems like there are 10 espada and ulqi is one of them.
luppi seems like he was pretty popular with the HM groupie, gin obvious did "stuff" with luppi and wonderwyce seemed to like him as well.

I have studied at Manchester university to obtain a Bsc in physics, I have studied with the open university and gained two Msc's science and management. The course material and tutors are on a par with manchester.
The degrees are excellent value for oney and as a direct result of obtaining the degree from the Open university while working I have been given a pay rise and promotion.
I work for a large technology based company, within which the Open university is well respected.
I would recommend anyone with a reasonable amount of intelligency to apply for open university courses. They are simply excellent.
I can not recommend the Open university enough the negatives reviews on this site are probably from students who were failing the courses. The open university is not an easy option it is a regular hard work university
Go on give it a try. But dont expect an easy time , hard work study and determination will get you a degree it will not be handed to you on a plate

Ahmedabad, Gujarat India (PressExposure) May 17, 2011 -- CCTV India, a leading supplier for video security surveillance system in the country, deals in various type of Digital Video Recorder (DVRs). MJPEG compression DVMR are also available for clients. Normally, clients having a slow server make use of this system. This compression leads to lower CPU usages but higher file sizes. It is ideal for slower computers.
An MJPEG compression DVMR is a step ahead of JPEG format. It follows the same procedure for compressing images. However, it also adds other stuff in streaming each image or frame together. Hence, at the end, the file size gets higher but lesser space is utilized by the CPU. It is the best for videos in slower computers. It works better in such computers as compared to other compression formats.
A high profile company executive states, "We get clients with varying infrastructure. One application may not suit all. Those who have a slower system voluntarily opt for the MJPEG compression DVMR. If our clients are not aware of the type that would be best for them, we advise them to take this type, after considering their infrastructure."
Another senior company official remarks, "The best thing about CCTV India is that it provides system that is suitable to clients belonging to all strata. No type of infrastructure is a problem to our products! This will ensure that we attract a large number of clients. MJPEG compression DVMR is a step in this direction. It will help in capturing a segment of the market that makes of slower applications."
CCTV India is based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. It has been present in the market since a very long time. Its MJPEG compression DVMR is available all throughout the country. We have other compression DVRs for better compatibility and quality image with lesser size. This particular format of compression is the most suitable for slow computers as per the company.

When Oakland Raiders FB Marcel Reece was named to the 2013 Pro Bowl, it was almost a given his talents would go to waste. However, after the game was played it was shocking to see how useless he was made to be out there.
The AFC only ran the ball 11 times for 15 yards, not the ideal breakdown for an athletic fullback like Reece. To make matters worse, Reece was in the game very early on when the AFC could have used his talents to their advantage. The Raiders found a way to utilize Reece and his talents, but the Pro Bowl is not the correct place to showcase those skills.
Reece excels at being both a bruising back and an excellent receiver out of the backfield, but those are not skills valued at the Pro Bowl. Although Reece does not care about his production and was happy to be there, it is sad that more people don't know about his excellent season this year. He had 59 carries for 271 yards most of which came when he replaced Darren McFadden after the starter injured his ankle. Even more surprisingly, Reece had nearly 500 receiving yards on 52 receptions and had 351 yards after the catch. He became a big target for Carson Palmer and Reece was an unsung hero for Oakland this year.
It is a true shame the AFC wasted Reece's talents at the Pro Bowl because he would have been a very useful weapon for the team. None of the other AFC running backs were all that effective and the quarterbacks turned the ball over three times. If the AFC had used the talents of their team better they may have just won the Pro Bowl.

There's a new type of ATM in Athens named PAM. But PAM doesn't give you cash -- it only takes money, scans your fingerprint and asks if you're on drugs.
PAM is short for Probation Automated Monitoring and could become Georgia's latest wave in helping officers keep tabs on criminal offenders sentenced to probation.
Walt Seymour, chief probation officer for the state Department of Corrections' Western Judicial Circuit, said, although PAM will never replace face-to-face contact with a probation officer, it helps cut down on the paperwork for the 170 convicts in the circuit -- comprising Athens-Clarke and Oconee counties -- who use the system.
''PAM is, if you will, just a glorified receptionist,'' Seymour said. ''The kiosk serves as a receptionist. An officer still has to verify the entries into PAM.''
The machine sits in the lobby of the probation office at Lexington Road and Johnson Drive. The offender inserts what looks like an ATM card into a slot, places his index finger on a scanner to verify his identity and answers a series of questions.
Only the lowest-risk cases are being assigned to PAM and they all still have to speak to an officer. Those deemed to be low-risk -- determined by a point-based assessment system -- must contact an officer about once a month, but those don't always have to be face-to-face visits. High-risk cases usually don't involve PAM and can require six or more face-to-face visits per month.
No felony probationers are assigned to PAM currently, Seymour said.
Since PAM knows the conditions of probation assigned to each person registered to use it, drunken-driving offenders are asked if they have participated in mandatory DUI classes and how many hours of community service they performed. The more routine questions, changes of address and employment status, round out the battery of PAM's interview.
''It's got its place,'' Seymour said. ''It obviously doesn't take the place of an officer. I just see it as another tool at our disposal. It helps us manage the work load we have.''
For probationers who are not on the PAM system, the probation officer must fill out forms about who they see and log the visits. With PAM, all the officer has to do is go to a special printer and PAM will log the visit and record answers on a printout.
A recent demonstration used ''Joe Convict,'' a make-believe probationer, to show that bad behavior gets Joe referred to a living, breathing probation officer.
The demonstration, led by probation officer Jason Welborn, Joe Convict has punched a button admitting he recently smoked marijuana. PAM's screen automatically tells Joe Convict that he's required to see a probation officer before leaving. In the administrative section of the probation office, a special printer comes to life to warn officers about the probation violation.
Although it takes a person as honest as Joe Convict to admit to smoking dope, real officers still verify information that offenders punch into PAM.
''Just because they said they did it in PAM doesn't mean they did,'' Seymour said. ''We have to independently verify what they said.''
For DUI class attendance, a written verification is required. Every hour of community service and required attendance in programs must also be checked by an officer. Even changes of address get checked occasionally, Seymour said.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Cynthia Wright urged probation officers to remember that PAM makes for a better complement to probation officers than a replacement.
''You have to have really hands-on supervision of these folks,'' Wright said. ''The personal contact is very critical because all the kiosk can tell you is the offender is still in town and checking in.''
PAM can also ''hablo Espaol.''
''That's as big of a help as anything else,'' Seymour said. ''None of the officers here are fluent in Spanish.''
The Spanish-speaking population has been increasing in Northeast Georgia and getting those with poor understanding of English on PAM can help in answering officers' questions.
Only 15 people were assigned appointments with PAM when the machine was installed at the probation office in April. Since that time, Seymour said more misdemeanor cases have been assigned to the machine and a total of 170 offenders now have regular appointments with PAM and officers.
But PAM isn't free. It costs $10 per use (exact change only, please) for the machine unless a convict is deemed indigent, Seymour said. The machine's fees pay for itself so that tax dollars can be used for other purposes. If the offender chooses to see an officer each time instead of PAM, it will still cost the probationer in supervision fees.
Seymour said he gives PAM ''fair'' marks. PAM can't replace his officers and the human element of helping people, but he said PAM is good at record-keeping and logging visits in its ''glorified receptionist'' role.
The jury is still out on PAM's effect on probationers. Seymour said he's noticed fewer probation revocations among PAM users during the time it has been in use but can't say that's because of the machine itself.
''It's a cause-and-effect relationship,'' he said. ''Are there fewer violations because we're selecting people who are likely to succeed for using PAM or is PAM helping them to succeed on probation?''
While that question lingers, Welborn said he really appreciates PAM for bearing part of an overwhelming workload.
''It really helps us out,'' Welborn said. ''Every one of us in here is swamped. Everyone outside sees this here as an easy job. All of us are really overworked.''
Although each officer is ultimately responsible for keeping up with his probationers, PAM makes a difference with the paperwork, Welborn said.
As evidence of the number of people that have to be tracked, Welborn said he had 26 probation-revocation hearings in December alone. He added that caseloads usually decrease during the holidays.
As the demand for officers to supervise probationers increases, Seymour said he has watched technology keep pace during his 28 years of work for the state Department of Corrections.
Seymore had only 70 probationers assigned to him when he started in the Macon office in 1970.
''That grew to well over 100,'' he said. ''Back then, the requirements were much less. You would have about one face-to-face meeting per month.''
With some of the highest-risk probationers now, six such meetings every month isn't unheard of, he said.
As numbers of probationers increase, Seymore said he never thought in 1970 that a machine could one day fingerprint, collect some fees and question probationers. And the future should see more computerization, he noted.
Seymour said it's possible that a computer could alert every officer when one of his probationers gets arrested instead of the current system of scanning a paper printout of arrests.

Let us start with some essential facts! In the first lesson, we discover who William Shakespeare was, when he lived and what he did. He started life as a relatively poor child in a small, backwater market town, and used his talents and business acumen to finish life as a very wealthy gentleman. He was even able to purchase a coat of arms for the Shakespeare name!

All of the lessons that follow build upon this info, so make sure you don't skip this lesson!

Now we know who William Shakespeare was, we take a closer look at the world in which he lived - Elizabethan England. The key idea we are trying to cover here is that Shakespeare was not a one-off genius; he was a product of his time. To really understand him, we need to first appreciate the world in which he lived.

His plays and sonnets are the product of the social and political time in which he was writing. This article provides a succinct overview of the factors that affected his writing.

When we think of Shakespeare, we most often think of his tragedy plays. The tragedies include many of his most memorable plays like Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet and Macbeth.

But Shakespeare wrote three different types of plays (tragedies, comedies and histories), and each have their own features and styles.

In this lesson, we explore the common features of a Shakespeare tragedy.

Next we turn our attention to Shakespeare's comedies – a list that includes the classic Much Ado About Nothing!

Before we leave Shakespeare's plays, we should mention the histories. These were hugely popular at the time and plays like are among the Bard's best written.

Shakespeare is also famous for his poetry, and his sonnets are considered by many to be the best collection of love poetry ever written. This article provides an overview of the story that connects them.

The sonnets are written in a strict form of poetic verse – find out more here.

Reading Shakespeare aloud really gives you a sense of the language because it was written for the stage, not for books! This guide will give you the confidence to speak the Bard's words out loud and really get to grips with his language.

Shakespeare wrote in iambic pentameter … sounds scary, but it isn't! This short article sums it all up in one go.

This Shakespeare 101 would not be complete without dipping our toe into the Shakespeare Authorship Debate. Some believe that William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon wasn't the real author of the plays or sonnets. Discover the conspiracy theories here!

Schedule a Post
You can schedule blog posts to automatically publish themselves at any time in the future.
Watch the video below for a quick overview of how it works, and read below for more examples and settings.
If you want to remove an already published post and automatically republish it at a specific time/date in the future, the directions are the same (see below):
In the menu to the left of the post editor, click the calendar icon on the blue Publish button.
Using the calendar that appears, select the future date/time you'd like the post to publish.
Tips for using this calendar:
- Use the left/right arrows to change the month
- Change the year by moving your cursor over the year, then click on the arrows that appear
- Click on any day in the calendar to select it
- Adjust the time using the two inputs at the bottom
- Your site will post based on its time zone setting. You'll see a note at the bottom (like the one in the image above) if you are posting from a different time zone.
You can also edit the date and time manually at the top of the calendar.
You can edit the existing date and time, or replace them completely by typing commands like "Tomorrow" or "Next Monday at noon" and pressing return or enter on your keyboard. The calendar is smart, and will turn these commands into properly formatted dates and times whenever possible. Double check that the date and time are correct, and you're good to go!
As soon as you set a future date or time, the Publish button will change to say Schedule and a checkmark will appear on the calendar button.
When looking at the calendar, the currently selected date will be indicated with a blue dot, and today's date will have an orange circle around it.
Dates when other posts are already scheduled to be published are indicated with a light blue outline. You can move your cursor over these dates to see what post(s) are scheduled for that day.
Tip: Always double check the date at the top of this calendar before clicking publish, and verify the correctly says AM or PM
Once you have selected the correct date and time, click Schedule. This will schedule the post, and the button will now say Update. You will also see the post status change from Draft or Draft Saved to Scheduled.
Scheduled posts will be triggered by the first visit to your blog on or after the exact date/time you set. If you see that the scheduled time has come and gone and your post has not published, simply log out of WordPress.com and view your blog's front page. Your visit should cause the post to appear.
Note: Sometimes you might want to backdate a post. For example, if you've just come back from a long trip, you might want to write a post for each day of your travels and have the post dates match the actual days you were away. To backdate a post, simply edit the date before you click Publish, as described above. In this case, the button will not change to Schedule.
Warning: Please do not schedule more than 100 posts. Any posts scheduled beyond that amount will not be published.
Republishing a Post
Sometimes, you may want to republish an old post. If this is your goal, you have a few different options:
- You can reschedule your post by editing the date and time the post was published, entering a future date and time, then clicking Schedule. When the scheduled time arrives, the post will jump from its current position in your timeline to the most recent spot on your blog and display the new date and time. The link for the post will also change to reflect the new publication date. When you reschedule a post, it will not redistribute to your email subscribers.
- You can republish your post by changing the status of the post to Draft, clicking Update, then clicking Publish. When you do this, the post will immediately redistribute to your email subscribers. However, the publication date and time will remain the same, so the post's link and position in your timeline will remain unchanged. If you want a republished post to show up first on your blog, you can always make it "sticky."
Un-scheduling a Post
If you've scheduled a post to be published in the future, but changed your mind and want to publish it immediately, head back to the Edit Post page for your scheduled post.
In the menu to the left of the post editor, click on the post status. On a scheduled post, this will say Scheduled and how much time is left until the post is scheduled to be published:
Using the menu that opens, click on the Revert To Draft button:
This will change the post status from Scheduled to Draft Saved:
Your post will no longer be posted at the originally scheduled time. To turn the scheduled posting back on, click on the Schedule button.
Troubleshooting Scheduled Posts
If your scheduled post does not appear, check the following:
- Is your timezone correct in your Settings -> General page?
- Did you save your post as a draft rather than schedule it? For the post to publish, you must click the Schedule button.
- Has no one visited your blog yet? Try logging out of WordPress.com and visiting your blog's front page.
- If you have more than 100 scheduled posts, reduce that amount to less than 100.

Pseudomonas putida F1 utilizes p-cumate (p-isopropylbenzoate) as a growth substrate by means of an eight-step catabolic pathway. A 35.75-kb DNA segment, within which the cmt operon encoding the catabolism of p-cumate is located, was cloned as four separate overlapping restriction fragments and mapped with restriction endonucleases. By examining enzyme activities in recombinant bacteria carrying these fragments and sub-cloned fragments, genes encoding most of the enzymes of the p-cumate pathway were located. Subsequent sequence analysis of 11,260 bp gave precise locations of the 12 genes of the cmt operon. The first three genes, cmtAaAbAc, and the sixth gene, cmtAd, encode the components of p-cumate 2,3-dioxygenase (ferredoxin reductase, large subunit of the terminal dioxygenase, small subunit of the terminal dioxygenase, and ferredoxin, respectively); these genes are separated by cmtC, which encodes 2,3-dihydroxy-p-cumate 3,4-dioxygenase, and cmtB, coding for 2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydro-p-cumate dehydrogenase. The ring cleavage product, 2-hydroxy-3-carboxy-6-oxo-7-methylocta-2,4-dienoate, is acted on by a decarboxylase encoded by the seventh gene, cmtD, which is followed by a large open reading frame, cmtI, of unknown function. The next four genes, cmtEFHG, encode 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-7-methylocta-2,4-dienoate hydrolase, 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate hydratase, 4-hydroxy-2-oxovalerate aldolase, and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, respectively, which transform the decarboxylation product to amphibolic intermediates. The deduced amino acid sequences of all the cmt gene products except CmtD and CmtI have a recognizable but low level of identity with amino acid sequences of enzymes catalyzing analogous reactions in other catabolic pathways. This identity is highest for the last two enzymes of the pathway (4-hydroxy-2-oxovalerate aldolase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase [acylating]), which have identities of 66 to 77% with the corresponding enzymes from other aromatic meta-cleavage pathways. Recombinant bacteria carrying certain restriction fragments bordering the cmt operon were found to transform indole to indigo. This reaction, known to be catalyzed by toluene 2,3-dioxygenase, led to the discovery that the tod operon, encoding the catabolism of toluene, is located 2.8 kb downstream from and in the same orientation as the cmt operon in P. putida F1.

JOHNSON CITY, TN (WJHL) – On Thursday, the Willow Tree Coffeehouse hosted an event to help benefit the Standing Rock Sioux tribe in the quest to keep the Dakota Access pipeline from being built in North Dakota.
Organizers said the people protesting that pipeline has an "indigenous right" to that land and say of the pipeline is built it will harm the environment and contaminate the drinking water.
There was a silent auction featuring items from local artist and businesses. Organizers said all of the proceeds from the event will go to the tribes at the rally in North Dakota for legal fees and the materials they need during this protest such as food and shelter.
Event Organizer Shae Keane said, "All of the proceeds from tonight's event, the art the music everything, all of the donation that's sitting around, all of that will go straight to the standing rock water protectors."
Members of the Cherokee Nation were scheduled to speak about the importance of the tribe's right to the lands at 7pm and the night was set to end with a musical performance by The Comet Conductors.

Investment, Financial Factors and Flow Cash from Nigerian Panel Data
The study investigates how the incidence and severity of information and agency problems vary across firms and over time in Nigeria, and assesses the differential effects on corporate investment. A reduced form q-cash flow model and interaction approach was adopted to examine the effects of firm size, age and industry specific characteristics on cash flow. The model was estimated using panel data for Nigerian manufacturing firms from 1984-2000. Financial effects are generally important for investment in all firms. However, the extent and impact of financial effects are not uniformly distributed. The study concludes that the effect of size is neutral; however, older firms tend to rely more on internal funds to finance their corporate investment than the newer firms. The effect of financial factors on investment varies across firms according to their industrial characteristics

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Love the engine; keep up the good work!
I am sure I am missing something very obvious: but for some reason, as soon as I add a constraint to the physics manager, it essentially disables those bodies' gravity, and goofs up collision. I am throwing things at the bodies with joints, and they
will nudge from the collision, but the things I'm throwing almost "pathfind" around the bodies. Too bad 3D pathfinding isn't what I wanted!
I'll update as I take guesses...
I haven't been seeing that problem in the holodeck sample (ragdolls and sample scene #8 seem to work) so it must be happening under certain circumstances. Can you paste some code to repro the problem? Thanks
UPDATE: I have been stepping through every line of the simulation. In the PointConstraint.ProcessVelocity function, I was getting impulses of not a number (NaN). I found that it was getting a single update of zero as the time slice when the game
was loading up, which evaluated to NaNs. Once I told my game to only integrate if the time slice is greater than zero, suddenly my rag doll worked!
Since I have your attention, would you take a look at my manual creation of physics objects? Mine can't come from the pipeline without duplicating model files, which is silly talk. While what I have works... it seems kinda crazy, particularly
for my boxes:
ConvexHull3D hull = new ConvexHull3D(vertices);
CompiledPolyhedron compiled = hull.ToPolyhedron();
PolyhedronPart part = new PolyhedronPart(compiled); //without the following line, the box had all Vector3.Zeros as coordinates. Transform identity = new Transform(1f, Vector3.Zero, Quaternion.Identity);
part.ApplyTransform(ref identity);
myBody.Skin.Add(part, material);
Weird, didn't know that a time slice of zero could be passed in, but that would definitely result in strange behavior.
Your code looks fine to me (and you mention that it works, which is good!). You might be able to use myBody.SetWorld() instead of creating the transform and using ApplyTransform(). They should have the same effect, I think, but SetWorld() would work universally,
even in cases where the body has multiple parts.
ConvexHull3D can be pretty expensive if the model is complex, since I just use a simple gift-wrapping algorithm, so there could be an impact at runtime if you have lots of models. You might be able to skip that class if you want to pre-compute the convex
set of vertices (which you obviously already have with a box) and face indices to pass into the CompiledPolyhedron constructor. CompiledPolyhedron is a necessary class since it computes and stores the edge/face information necessary to optimize collision detection
Thank you for the suggestion, I'll take that into account once I start repeating the same model repeatedly.
I am doing some rapid prototyping, so hopefully you don't mind me asking some more questions:
1. I am having a lot of things fall through a collision mesh, particularly if the object has a half-way decent velocity. I see the PhysicsManager has a lot of properties I can tweak. What scale were you imagining for the default values?
I assume one unit = one meter, but just checking. I have roughly three units per one meter, and knowing your scale that will help me tweak those values. If you have any other suggestions, I'll take them! :-)
2. My ragdoll has some extremely "spongy" joints--they separate a lot from where they are supposed to be. Like, the top of the arm is about half way down the body... :-(. The longer the objects sit, the worse it gets. Right
now, I am holding the ragdoll's head like a string puppet. Any ideas?
3. Where can I add additional collision exceptions outside of attaching the two bodies to joints?
I am very thankful for all the help you have offered!
1. Yeah, one unit per one meter is what I've been assuming. The collision detection for fast-moving objects definitely isn't perfect, especially for the more complicated object types. Stamping out all the little quirks is really hard. Are you having problems
specifically with poly-poly collisions or poly-mesh? You could try playing around with the SweepThreshold value (which is in the same units as distance in the game world).
2. Are you seeing this behavior with the sample ragdoll? (Launch holodeck.exe and press R to spawn them). If limbs are separating too much, you can try tweaking PositionCorrectionFactor and PositionCorrectionIterations (and maybe LinearErrorTolerance). Increasing
those values will cause more correction, at the cost of some stability.
3. You could attach a delegate to the OnCollision field of RigidBody and return true to suppress collisions between two objects. This will suppress a collision for the duration of contact until they separate again.
This post is the definition of a "living document!" :-P
1. Poly-mesh collisions are the most wonky that I've seen. Poly-poly seems to be working pretty well.
2. No, your sample ragdoll seems to work perfectly.
3. Does the trick; now my ragdoll can't trip up on himself.
Again, thanks for the help!
4. If I set the mass properties of the head to be MassProperties.Immobile, everything attached directly or indirectly does not fall either. So, for example, I set my head sphere to be MassProperties.Immobile, and now the body and limbs had no
gravity. Is that on purpose?
5. I occasionally get a NullReferenceException by the following code:
private class ConstraintComparator : Comparer<Constraint>
public override int Compare(Constraint x, Constraint y)
if (x is ContactConstraint ^ y is ContactConstraint)
return x is ContactConstraint ? 1 : -1;
float d = MathHelper.Min(x.BodyA.World.Position.Z, x.BodyB != null ? x.BodyB.World.Position.Z : 0f) -
MathHelper.Min(y.BodyA.World.Position.Z, y.BodyB != null ? y.BodyB.World.Position.Z : 0f);
return d == 0f ? 0 : (d > 0f ? 1 : -1);
Where x is null, and y is a UniversalJoint. It gets the null reference line on calculating d.
6. I think I know what I need to do. So, I was manipulating positions and orientations rather directly via SetWorld. I was doing that every tick to the head of my ragdoll, so I could dangle him like a puppet. Unfortunately for the
poor physics system, it thought it was still falling. This created the disconnect between the joints which I wasn't changing the position of, and the head that was being "frozen" into place manually. It only hit me a few minutes ago:
"duh, your picking and dragging of objects is exactly the same as me holding the head of my ragdoll in place." So, thus, I have found the GrabConstraint. I have tried it out and seems to work great!
9. The polyhedron to mesh collision is really really iffy at times... I have stuff falling through /constantly./ Ideas, suggestions, tips?

Paul Pierce took the initiative this time and the Boston Celtics seized control.
Pierce scored 24 points, Rajon Rondo added 20 and the defending champions beat the Chicago Bulls 107-86 on Thursday night to take a 2-1 lead in their first-round playoff series.
The teams split two dramatic games in Boston, but this one never really was in doubt. The Celtics led by 11 after one quarter and 22 at the half on their way to an easy win behind Pierce and Rondo. Particularly Pierce.
"We know what kind of team we are," Pierce said. "The way we played tonight is the way we want to play."
Now, Boston is in good shape heading into Game 4 Sunday even though the injured Kevin Garnett is wearing a suit instead of a uniform these days.
Rondo looked just fine after spraining his right ankle in Game 2 and missing practice Tuesday, hitting eight of 15 shots, grabbing 11 rebounds and dishing out six assists. A teammate helped him down the hallway afterward, but he insisted he's OK.
"The ankle's fine," said Rondo, averaging 22.7 points, 9.7 assists and 10.7 rebounds in the series.
Pierce was more than fine.
He asserted himself after two rather quiet games, hitting his first six shots and going 9 of 15 overall. He was aggressive from the start, setting the tone as the Celtics pulled away early.
"In Game 1 and 2, I was a little indecisive but I'm getting comfortable with what (the Bulls) want to do," he said.
Ray Allen added 18 points after scoring 30 and hitting the tiebreaking 3-pointer to lift the Celtics to a 118-115 victory in Game 2 on Monday. And Boston hit 12 of 21 3-pointers.
The Bulls covered the arena in rose petals in honor of Derrick Rose, who was named Rookie of the Year on Wednesday, but they couldn't cover Pierce, Rondo or Allen. They couldn't hang onto the ball. They couldn't shoot, and they couldn't hit their free throws.
It was that kind of night.
The Bulls committed 22 turnovers, shot 37.5 percent from the field and were 17-of-27 at the line after going 46-of-51 in the first two games.
Ben Gordon scored 15 on 5-of-13 shooting after pouring in 42 in Game 2, while John Salmons added 14.
Rose, who scored 36 as the Bulls won the opener in overtime, got outplayed for the second straight game by Rondo, finishing with nine points, seven turnovers and two assists.
Content to defer in the first two games, Pierce went right at the Bulls, scoring 13 in the first quarter as the Celtics grabbed a 32-21 lead. He drove, buried jumpers and scored from all angles.
He looked like his usual self after shooting 40 percent while averaging a rather quiet 20.5 points in the first two games. That he didn't assert himself earlier was a surprise, considering the man guarding him – Salmons – has a strained left groin.
"I thought he set the tone for us," coach Doc Rivers said. "I thought he came out extremely aggressive and attacked early. He played the perfect decoy but was aggressive at the same time. I thought it was beautiful how he played."
For Rondo, it was simply more of the same.
Any doubts about the ankle were quickly evaporated during a nine-point first quarter that he capped with a 3. Allen was quiet for most of the first half until the final 1:10, when he followed a 3-pointer by Stephon Marbury with two of his own to make it 59-37.
It was an impressive showing by the Celtics, who are trying to make due without Garnett. The Big Ticket's status for the postseason is in doubt because of a knee strain that limited him to four games over the final two months.
Notes:@ Celtics coach Doc Rivers said no date has been set for surgery on Leon Powe, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee in Game 2 and is done for the season. Powe averaged 7.7 points and 4.9 rebounds this season, missing 13 straight games down the stretch with an injury in his right knee. ... Commissioner David Stern said he's been speaking to GM Danny Ainge "through the Celtics" after his mild heart attack last week. "There was a meeting last week in New York. Danny, that morning, he had been hospitalized and we were getting up-to-the-minute (reports)." Stern also said he would try to speak to Garnett before the game. "The KG situation is a tough one," he said. "Guys play and play and play, and we know, statistically, that at some point this happens. ... It's sad." ... The Bulls are the last team to eliminate the defending champions in the first round, after sweeping Miami in 2007.

I'm pleased to announce that starting today I have joined the team at rtraction as a Social Media Strategist!
This is a great opportunity for both myself, rtraction, and businesses in Southwestern Ontario. There is now a full fledged social media agency that can take care of all your new media needs. My job description is still being finalized, but I will be primarily helping clients to understand and apply themselves to social media platforms. We also have some training courses planned for later in the year.
As many of you know, this is a space that I have been heavily engaged in for many years. I don't want to blow my own horn too much (I'll leave that for the guys at rtraction), but my involvement in Podcamp London, LOLA and the upcoming SMarts Conference, illustrates how much I "get it".
If you have been wondering how your company or brand should take advantage of this new space, but have been holding back, be sure to drop me a line

Depending on what we want to project or create a brand for ourselves we should dress accordingly.
Say for someone working in a bank / consulting firm where their role is more client facing, it is advisable to follow the Business formal wear guidelines, in this case if you wear denims / chinos and polo tee, you will be perceived as boyish or soemone who cannot be trusted with too much responsibilty.
The basic idea is we should seperate our Personal – Social – Professional attire, a bit of overlapping or mixing clothes is all right but if we dress the same everywhere than we are not projecting the right appropriate image.
Your own Image has various nuances to it, being appropriate to where you are going is one of the important aspects of dressing up.
When you audit your closet , seperate your outfits / clothes in these broad sections ans than evaluate what you have and what us missing for you to create an appropriate image for yourself.
