What is the shape parameter in "Create Conic Arc" tool ?
Hi everyone
I was trying to create a conic arc which passes through 3 points using the tool in Gambit with an exact value of eccentricity ( 0 to infinity, 1 is a parabola, greater than 1 for hyperbolas), however, the tool in Gambit does not allow me to enter the eccentric value. Instead, it asks for a number called shape parameter (0.01 to 0.99, 0.5 is a parabola, hyperbola is between 0.5 and 0.99). Is there a way for me to convert between the two quantities ?
Do you have a sketch of what you want to draw?
Basically I have 2 points and their midpoint is the center of the ellipses. I need to plot ellipses which pass through those two points with the symetry axis make a 45 degrees angle with the line connecting the two points and I need to vary the eccentricity of these ellipses.
So how should I put the shoulder point to make the symetry axis tiled 45 degrees ?
I would use ellipse surface tool
fix one radius, and le vary the other radius
Because I am going to plot the hyperbola and parabola in later part of my project, thus, I need to use the conic section tool

IELTS Cue Card Sample 499 - Describe a useful thing that you once borrowed
- Details
- Last Updated: Saturday, 15 October 2016 18:19
- Written by IELTS Mentor
- Hits: 4040
IELTS Speaking Part 2: IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card.
Describe a useful thing that you once borrowed.
You should say:
- what was it
- who you borrowed it from
- why you borrowed it
and explain why it was important for you to borrow it.
[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you're going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.]
Sample Answer 1:
Well, this candidate task card reminds me of several occasions when I had to borrow something useful and important from others. I would, however, go with my first instinct and talk about the event that came first in my mind. It was a recent event when I borrowed a thermometer from a neighbour. Though a thermometer is a small tool and is required only a few times, in particular, when someone suffers from fever, it is quite useful in my opinion.
It was almost midnight and all of a sudden my younger brother, Sam, started feeling ill. He was complaining about feeling very cold and that was a symptom of getting caught by the seasonal flu. I rang one of my doctor friends and he told me not to worry too much unless Sam's body temperature was really high. He also advised me some medicines and assured me that he would visit our home in case things get worse. It was at the beginning of the last month and my younger brother suffered from the fever for about 5 days. Luckily he recovered sooner than many others I know about, who were caught by the same viral flu.
Speaking of that night, after I finished talking to my doctor friend, Rick, I searched for the thermometer to check Sam's temperature. I assumed we would have at least two thermometers at our house, one in my desk and another one is in the fast-aid box that my father had. To my surprise, I could not find a single one! I searched everywhere and after 30 minutes of ceaseless searching, I quit and decided to borrow it from Paula, who was one of our closest neighbours.
I called her and she was luckily awake. I explained her Sam's condition and that I needed to borrow a thermometer from her. In 10 minutes she rushed to our house with the thermometer and talked to Same for a couple of minutes. She also brought some vitamin C enriched fruits with her and advised me to stay awake for a couple of hours to accompany Sam. She also talked with my parents and after an hour she left. She is still a caring and tender-hearted women who we consider our family friend.
The thermometer I borrowed from Paula was really needed at that time. We had to check Sam's body temperature in every 30 minutes. In the next morning, I bought three thermometers and gave my father one to keep it in his fast-aid box. I returned Paula's thermometer after couple od days and thanked her for her support and care for us.
Cue Card Answer 2:
This is a nice topic for me to discuss as I have a great reputation (!) on forgetting things and I often need to borrow from my surroundings for this characteristic or nature. Last month, I had borrowed the laptop from my cousin to complete a university project.
In fact, I forgot to change the battery of my laptop as it was having an extreme poor power backup. It is my insincerity that did not allow me to get the battery in due time and gradually the last week of the project submission appeared. Five days before the project submission, I had to borrow a laptop from my cousin. Though he delivered some angry words for my negligence, he rescued me from a negative situation I was supposed to get involved. The project was quite important as it carried more than 30% marks of the entire course.
I borrowed the laptop from my cousin, Henry. He is a freelancer and works online from home. When I was a kid, my parents asked me to follow him for his unique virtues and actually they wanted me to shape up like Henry. He is five years older than me and looks quite smart with his curly hair and broad cheek. His eyes are dark with a bluish shade. He lives in the opposite direction of our house and my parents are fond of him for his extraordinary qualities. He has turned like an idol for me and I also try to follow some of his qualities. Unfortunately, few of my bad habits are the greatest impediments in following him.
I make delay in everything and this is one of my bad habits. I have suffered a lot for the habit and still suffering in some points. I had to borrow the laptop for the same reason. In fact, I forgot to buy the laptop battery that I have been planning to buy for the past few months. Whenever I attempt to use the laptop, it makes me remember that it needs its battery. At the same time, if I do not complete the project and present the incomplete version to the class and the teachers, I might be unable to get promoted in the next semester. It was a crucial individual assignment for me. If it was about a teamwork, I could have crossed the barriers easily with supports from my teammates.
Borrowing the laptop was a major issue for me. After completion of the project, the students were to present the ideas and other details to the audiences at the auditorium. Actually, that was not a problem as I proudly own a Dell laptop. The trouble was about its charging issues and the newly built auditorium had no external charging facilities for laptops and other electronic devices. My laptop needed continuous charging to run and whenever the charger was detached, it ran less than ten minutes. As Henry owned three laptops with high configuration, I sought his support in this case. He got angry initially when he heard that my project was quite important and I am yet to finish it. He was familiar with my nature and often advice me to change that. Finally, he extended a hand for unconditional support to me. I am truly grateful to him. By the way, I got B+ in my project and the laptop actually saved me from a disastrous situation.

Recipes | Latest Recipes from Chicken
Tex-Mex joints all have a variety of meaty fillings like this one on their menus packed with big, bright Tex-Mex flavors ready to roll into any type of tortilla. Burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, crispy tacos, soft tacos, tostadas, rotis—what will you roll?View Recipe
There are as many ways to roast a chicken as there are cooks. This basic method is my favourite. Roasting the chicken perched on top of a thick bed of vegetables not only helps you prepare an entire meal at once but also guarantees that not a drop of flavour is lost. You can also skip all the normal laborious of slicing by simply shredding the meat into the works and tossing together a pan stew of sorts!View Recipe
Thrills and chills will abound when you present this chicken to your little ghouls, ghosts and goblins. You'll feel like Dr. Frankenstein putting together your very own monstrous creation, and you'll feel good fuelling your family for an evening of trick-or-treating fun with this simple roasted spider, I mean chicken.
To turn this into a full meal deal, you can roast the chicken over a bed of root vegetables. Cubes of potatoes or carrots, thick slices of onions or whole cloves of garlic are all fair game. They'll soak up the tasty juices that drip off the chicken and give you a complete meal in one pan.View Recipe
Is your family in the sandwich business? A soft tortilla wrap is just as easy a sandwich start as a slice of bread and a great way to pack a lunchbox. If you want to make it even easier, let your grocer do the heavy lifting and just toss a rotisserie chicken into your cart!View Recipe
When tandoori is on the menu its always a good idea to cut the chicken into small pieces so that it will cook as quickly as possible in a searing hot oven.View Recipe
Nothing is more comforting, more home style, than a simple roast chicken dinner. Especially when the vegetables are cooked and seasoned at the same time and there's only one pot to clean!View Recipe
I love how my local grocery has chickens spinning and roasting, ready to take home and serve up. But don't stop there. You can stretch a rotisserie chicken into a hearty pot full of delicious soup for a crowd!View Recipe
Sometimes the best thing you can do in a kitchen is get out and go for the grill. Here's how to create a simple bed of grilled goodness to anchor a warm salad. All with an easy twist to create a double duty marinade/dressing and jazz it all up.View Recipe
This rustic dish shows how easy it is to braise any type of meat in a tomato sauce. The results are tender, flavourful and perfect for any type of pasta. This is a hearty meal in a bowl.View Recipe
Fried chicken is one of the all-time great comfort foods! For old-school flavour, try using tangy buttermilk and fry in a cast iron skillet. Nothing does a better job maintaining an even heat for crisping the chicken.View Recipe
Few things in your kitchen are as simple as grilling a few chicken breasts and topping them with simple flavours. It's a basic method, which always inspires improvisation as you create your own toppings with your favourite flavours.View Recipe

MPs keen to help Bulls
Members of Parliament have joined the battle to save financially-crippled Stobart Super League club Bradford Bulls.
Last Updated: 27/06/12 1:31pm
Members of Parliament have joined the battle to save financially-crippled Stobart Super League club Bradford Bulls.
Local MPs George Galloway and Gerry Sutcliffe are to hold talks with Brendan Guilfoyle, the administrator in charge of the club, and the All Party Parliamentary Rugby League Group have on Wednesday pledged their support.
Guilfoyle was brought in after the club's directors failed to find the necessary investment to fight a winding-up petition from Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs over an unpaid tax bill in excess of £300,000.
The Bulls are virtually penniless and Guilfoyle has warned he has just nine working days left to find a buyer or he will put the club into liquidation.
Chairman of the Parliamentary Group, Leeds North West MP Greg Mulholland, said: "This is a sad day for Bradford Bulls and for rugby league.
"We urge all involved to find a way for Bradford to continue its proud history as a top-flight club.
"Members of the Parliamentary Rugby League Group are fans of the game as well as club representatives in Parliament and we have a singular remit - 'to support the sport of rugby league football'.
"The Group's offer of support to the club, the RFL and Bradford City Council remains open to deliver that promise."
The Group wrote to the chairman of RBS when the club was seeking to extend its overdraft period.
Sutcliffe, a former sports minister, said "Bradford Bulls is not only a professional rugby league club, it is a focal point for the community and has been since its creation.
"As both a Bulls fan and the club's MP, I know how people must be feeling about the current situation.
"The ongoing backing of colleagues within the Parliamentary Rugby League Group is welcomed and I and the Group will continue to do what I can to assist the Bulls."
If they survive, Bradford face an automatic points deduction and in the meantime are bracing themselves for the possible sale of their best players as the administrator seeks to raise funds to keep the club going in the short term.
Fans greeted Tuesday's announcement with anger and dismay after earlier raising close to £500,000 in a bid to stave off the threat of administration, but the Bulls' supporters trust, BullBuilder, have promised to back any would-be buyer.
In a statement, they said: "Like the rest of the fan base, BullBuilder were extremely disappointed to hear that the Bradford Bulls had entered administration.
"This season has seen remarkable efforts on the Bulls' behalf by players, staff and the general rugby league community.
"Most of all, the commitment of the supporters in achieving seemingly impossible feats has been outstanding. All this has shown how the team's history and the current Bulls' brand are valued throughout the game.
"At the same time, the current excellence of young players coming through the ranks - the very players that BullBuilder was formed to support - shows that the future for a financially-stable Bradford Bulls could be very bright indeed.
"We sincerely hope that an investor will come forward to prevent this potential from being wasted and to allow a revitalised Bradford Bulls to reap the benefit.
"We have seen how the Bulls players, staff and supporters have pulled together this season. At BullBuilder, we believe that this unity of purpose must be built upon.
"We continue to be firmly behind the survival and success of the Bulls and any party who can take this forward."

Looks good man
RIP Hulk career

Why? Renault is a factory team.
Just finished this. Quite good.
Just grabbed it, my man Webbah is always entertaining
I ended up here, god damn that RB6
Thinking about how that car worked blows my mind. They needed a young kid to get the most out of it because anyone with a survival instinct wouldn't be able to do it. How many briefs/debriefs did Seb sit in and they were telling him he could be flat ____ here and he said sure, fuck it. And it worked lol. An old guy like Mark was a skeptic and would lift but the new guy bought it and white knuckled through those ridiculous corners with nothing to back him up but engineers saying "it should be good", man how cool is that? I'm probably talking out of my ass but the results are there.
Webber was known to always be better in the high speed corners. Here is quoting Mark Hughes:
But realistically, Webber at near retirement age was never going to be constantly quicker than Vettel. Its a real shame we never got Ricciardo in that car. I would have loved to see it.
I did it Audible style, as I've been driving/flying a lot. The narrator has a bitchin Aussie accent, which made it that much more entertaining to listen to.
And if it's even possible, I dislike Helmut Marco even more now than I did before I read/heard it.
Ordered a copy. Also picked up The Mechanic's Tale by Steve Matchett.
Horner too. Mark really makes him look like a puppet.
Loved Webbers book. Read it in about a week and the ghostwriter does a superb job of writing as if Mark was speaking to the reader.
Lewis on top as usual in the USGP. Hopefully he gets away okay on Sunday, when it counts, and restarts his championship run.
Sounding the death horn for Hulk at Renault. Guy has gone from a car/team that routinely gets him into Q3, usually in the best of the rest behind Ferrari/Red Bull/Merc, to a albeit new car/new team who have not delivered on expectations so far.
Disagree on Hulk to Renault. Stagnate in the mid field or take a chance on a factory ride, he made the right call. People questioned Hamilton's move to Mercedes a few years back too.
I agree, and am really rooting for Hulk to break through and finally get some wins.
It was a smart move imo. But Renault won't get to the front as quickly as people think.
nico's championchip to lose
unless something catastrophic happens, if this guy chokes it away he should give up his seat
Kinda been that way most of the season. Lewis has had 90% of the bad luck.
I'm barely even watching the races now. So fucking boring when races are decided by turn 1.
we're watching to see if one of their cars blows up
they sure as shit won't run into each other
Sad to see Audi pack it up in the WEC, given the dieselgate scandal. Toyota will probably run a third car. BMW is reckoned to be making a 2018 car powered by hydrogen for the great race and Peugeot is thinking about the race as well.
Halloween costumes are done

No matter where you are in India, you will always find a lot of two-wheelers. Whether it is a metropolitan city or a small town, most of us rely on a two wheeler when it comes to travelling to a nearby distance. It is the convenience factor which makes a two wheeler a real hero. People use bikes, scooters and mopeds for both travelling to work and going out over the weekend. Last year, around 14 million bikes were sold in India. Bike is the most preferred mode of transport after public transport modes.
One can easily enjoy a quick ride on a two wheeler and leave the traffic behind. However, there are a lot of risk factors also associated with riding a two wheeler. In India, not just the number of bikes but the number of bike accidents is increasing. Out of all the accidents, most accidents are due to speed or the driver not wearing a helmet. When you can buy health insurance and life insurance to protect your life, why not buy two wheeler insurance as well? Your bike or scooter also needs proper protection against unseen happenings. Have you wondered what would happen if you crash your bike or if your bike gets stolen? A proper two wheeler insurance policy is the right way to protect your ride from extreme incidents. If you have two wheeler insurance, you can easily reduce the monetary crisis you face during and after an accident. Most bike accidents are very serious as they put both the bike and the rider at risk even if the rider has worn a helmet. In such cases, two-wheeler insurance policy protects the costs related to the damage of your two wheeler and your medical expenses.
When you are driving your two-wheeler, make sure you observe all the traffic rules. Here are 5 best tips to ride your bike or scooter safely –
When it comes to buying two wheeler insurance, you must not look at it as an expense but a worthy investment. When a person meets with an accident on a two wheeler, there are chances of a serious injury and eventually he/she requires a lot of medical assistance and all this without two wheeler insurance is an expensive proposition.

The FTSE 100 hit a 14-month high at close yesterday, ending 42 points higher.
The UK bluechip index was driven higher by an almost 7 per cent rise in Standard Life's stock price after it released its half-year results.
The index ended the day at 6,851, meaning it has risen almost 10 per cent this year, having rebounded after Brexit.
Standard Life rose after its results beat expectations, with the other big risers of the day being Royal Bank of Scotland, TUI, easyJet and Standard Chartered.
However, the pound continued to fall and hit a one-month low at $1.30, amid concerns about the growth of the economy.
The Bank of England's Ian McCafferty said yesterday in the Times that more QE was likely needed and further rate cuts could be on the horizon to boost the UK economy post-Brexit.
His comments come as the National Institute of Economic and Social Research warned of a "marked slowdown" in the UK's economy for the three months to July.
Data from the organisation shows that the period saw 0.3 per cent economic growth, compared to 0.6 per cent in the three months to the end of June.
NIESR also warned of an "evens chance" of a technical recession.
The NIESR said: "This estimate is consistent with our latest quarterly forecast, which forecasts a contraction of 0.2pc in the third quarter of this year, as a whole."

Bravo! Cafe and Bakery

I love this place! I could see how maybe some people would be turned off by it, but my dining experience has always been good there. They have lots of different entrees available that are vegetarian and I believe some are vegan as well. They also have tea drinks and vegan/vegetarian desserts.
If you go there for your first time, I recommend trying the orange mock-chicken. Good stuff.
Pros: Good food, reasonable prices (you can get full for under $10 no problem), and friendly atmosphere
Cons: It seems like nobody who works there can speak English very well, which can be frustrating when asking for specifics in food ingredients and drink orders.
It's a pretty small price to pay for some good cheap Asian cuisine.

I love this place, it has great pizza. However, I don't see why it is labeled vegan-friendly. Maybe it was just the one I went to (West Lake Street), but they didn't have any Vegan cheese, so unless I wanted a cheese-less pizza I was pretty much screwed.

An unexpected job offer begins a new partnership that heals your fretting. Famously Thomas Wolfe said you can't go home again, but 2017 offers a reprieve, a miracle, as you manage to regain, if not home literally, then your roots, your comfort, your foundations. And in the spirit of true and accurate history – which Cancer is all about – I must credit the writer who actually said this phrase first, Ella Winter. It was she who, in conversation with Wolfe, remarked: "Don't you know you can't go home again?" Wolfe then asked Winter for permission to use the phrase as the title of his book, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Working with someone at, or closer to, home, and clearly defining schedules and work routines, will heal all. This forecast applies to the United States too (Cancer Sun, Cancer Jupiter) so around December 29: Expect the unexpected on the international stage. Not any time soon, but eventually, this will work things out for the better. All in the spirit of cooperation.
As 2016 comes to a close, with its crazy communications – and non-communications – it is time to call a truce. To grab onto any olive branch and not let go! Home has not really been the haven you desire and a kind of battle may have begun for you, too. The fantastic news – which I am so happy to tell you! – is that, as 2017 begins, it is a whole different ballgame with partners. Out with the old, and in with the new.
Around the first day of the new year everyone leaves the past behind. You agree to do this.
It is not an immediate happy ending. (I am your astrologer, and I must be completely honest with you.) It is really a wait-and-see time. But it is going in a positive direction. You need to trust this! You do best to let the people in your life figure it out on their own, and to take care of their own business. Just because you don't know the final outcome yet – trust me, this is not a bad thing. You have plenty of figuring out on your own to do, particularly to do with your domestic scene.
In terms of how you are being perceived, please, above all, be patient with your self. You may feel as if no one is "getting" you. This clears up and move forward positively as March begins. You can decide now, dear Cancer, how you would like it to be, and commit to it.
Do you know how I see it happening? Through partnerships and relationships, many of them new.
For in your contractual seventh house of relationships you have:
Life-saving Sun
Brilliant thoughtful Mercury, in and out of retrograde until January 8
Explosive planet of your authentic power Pluto
And that exciting new Capricorn Moon on Thursday, December 29 – powerful new agreements will be made at the beginning of 2017!
These are awesomely positive and powerful forces blessing you in the seventh house areas traditionally ruled by partnership-oriented Libra:
Partnerships in work and love
Business clients
Live-in or steady relationships
Bitter enemies in the open
Dealings with the public
Social urges
Discussions about design, beauty, harmony
Co-dependent no more! You will learn to separate.
In love Cancer: to stay in love and to keep the relationship together.
You are going to feel better one-on-one than in groups and that's okay. Some of this has to do with the "PR" that you will be managing, as you really are changing your public identity.
Mid-month – on Thursday, January 12, to be exact – there is a full Moon – your emotional ruler – in your sign and in your first house: triple whammy. You may just burst out of your skin on that day. A word of warning: You will feel emotional. Also there will be a bit of a public spotlight on you, so any potential meltdowns may go viral…!
Then, a financial opportunity of a lifetime will be handed to you at the end of January. This opportunity is well deserved, and in honor of your work and experience. It will make you proud of yourself. Great news to hang onto as you go through the drama of family or home – do I stay or do I go? – again and again.
Before I get to your financial success, let us address this drama.
Neptune is in your ninth house of the far away – go west, young man! It is the house of travel and foreign cultures and mind-expansion. And Neptune is the glittering sea, the glorious mist of deception, the truth – in dreams, a twisted Fun House, broken mirrors.
So regard it is a bit of a sea fog over your vision concerning matters of "going west" or busting out. You will feel a little unclear as to where you should be; what your proper environment should be. Be careful about making plans or promises in terms of another home or property. This includes anything from renovations to redecorating, to sublets, to temporary housing, to moving, to staying. Neptune sees to it that you change your mind!
You are very psychic and sensitive and you absorb what is around you. This makes environment more important than anything. And I'm saying it's got a bit extreme. To the point where it is ruling you. The thought of the perfect environment is stopping your life. Let it go. Stop running away. It's okay to be with yourself. To be where you are now.
You know that song Marilyn sang so breathlessly, "I wanna be loved by you, nobody else but you, I wanna be loved by you –" Can you hear it? This is what the world will be singing to all crabs this January. Admirers abound. You are blessed with desire and desirability. As the new year begins, to put it bluntly, you have your pick of the crop.
Single Cancer, if you want to be with someone, go for it!
And dear Cancer, you really are so intimate. Well, you know that. I'm just praising that part of you. It's what secretly all of us love the most about you. Life is never superficial for you. You feel it deeply, every moment.
Because you are a crab, and you come from the bottom of the sea. You are also ancient years old. Five hundred million years old and counting. Now, how could that ever be superficial?
Forgive me for telling you this again and again – the five hundred million years part – it's just I am always astonished by it. Over and over. It's always something I've got to tell – it's such exciting news.
I wish I were five hundred million years old.
You are a survivalist, and it is pure Darwinian evolution.
Never superficial. Sometimes silly. You have a delightful sense of funny. You have the best laugh. You crack people up again and again. You have given a lot of Silly to the child or children or baby pet you love so much — whom you would do anything for, and you already have (new bills coming in soon!) — but now it is time to bring it into the grownup world.
It is important to play and exercise in this world, too. And you have been bearing a huge burden. Your pain threshold has got awfully high. You are terribly concerned with your career. And your relationship life is due for a makeover.
Yes, you may be tired from the year – and exhausting, emotional last few years – thanks to all the tests planet Saturn put you through – but you need to regard yourself as a valuable commodity.
And you really have missed some people. You've been sitting on your own planet for such a long time now. Even married and attached Cancers, you have been in your own world. You are extremely loved, no doubt about that. So, you are stepping out of your isolation and you are ready to love and play again. You will look different at the end of this time, too.
You will look younger by the end of 2017 than you do now, and fabulously successful.
Brava, my dear Crab. You will do the right thing.
P.S. Happy Holidays! First time ever: Your YEAR AHEAD 2017 forecast! It's free, and it's here.
And perhaps time for your own private session?
If you're hesitant, or haven't been read before, please read what my clients say.
I look forward to speaking with you, Cancer. Please take care.
With love, Madalyn

There are certainly a lot of upset O's fans around here lately. They feel like the club should have added another bat by now and are concerned who will play first and third base next season.
But keep in mind this fact - the O's don't need to play a game tomorrow and they still have time left to make a move.
Some are unhappy the O's have not spent a lot of money this winter.

Spanish studio Barozzi Veiga, winner of the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies Van Der Rohe Award 2015
The Szczecin Philharmonic Hall by Barozzi/Veiga (Alberto Veiga and Fabrizio Barozzi) with the collaboration of Studio A4, winner of the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture - Mies Van Der Rohe Award 2015. The Catalan studio ARQUITECTURA-G awarded the Emerging Architect Prize for its work Casa Luz.
The Szczecin Philharmonic Hall is the Winner of the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award 2015 that the European Commission along with the Fundació Mies van der Rohe announced last Friday.
The Emerging Architect Prize has been awarded to the Catalan studio ARQUITECTURA-G for their work Luz House, a single - family house born from the transformation of an existing structure in the Spanish town of Cilleros.
Jens Nymand Christensen, director general deputy of Education and Culture of the European Commission and Antoni Vives, deputy mayor of Barcelona and President of the Fundació Mies van der Rohe, have granted the winners the prizes of 60,000 € (primary prize) and 20,000 € (emerging architect prize). The winners also have received a sculpture by the Catalan artist Xavier Corberó, and the finalists and the clients have received a medal that merits their work and implication in the construction of the highest quality of the European territory.
The awarded have been chosen from a list of 420 works from 36 European nations, and five finalists have been selected: Ravensburg Art Museum by Lederer Ragnarsdóttir Oei; Danish Maritime Museum in HelsingØr by BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group; Antinori Winery in Bargino-San Casciano Val di Pesa, Florence, by Archea Associati; Szczecin Philharmonic Hall by Barozzi/Veiga and the Saw Swee Hock Student Centre - London School of Economics, in London, by O'Donnell + Tuomey.
Designed by Barozzi/Veiga (Alberto Veiga and Fabrizio Barozzi) with the collaboration of Studio A4, the Szczecin Philharmonic Hall houses a symphony hall for 1000 spectators, a chamber music hall for 200 spectators, a multifunctional space for exhibitions and conferences, and a wide foyer. In its materiality, the building is perceived as a light element: the glass facade, illuminated from within, presents different perceptions. The exterior austerity and the simple composition of the interior circulation spaces contrast with the expressiveness of the main hall and the gold leaf covered concert hall.

Posted under Academic Achievement & Accountability & Education Politics & State Board of Education & Testing
It's no secret that people don't love Pearson's PARCC tests. Even way back in 2015, states were practically tripping on themselves trying to get away from the unpopular test, which was originally designed to provide comparable results across state lines. That trend has continued, and only a handful of the original dozens of PARCC states remain. Now, it looks like Colorado is jumping ship. It's about time. But are we really leaving PARCC behind? Or are we just witnessing a rebranding effort?
Colorado's experience with PARCC has not been overly pleasant. For starters, and although there have been some improvements on this front, results have been slow to roll in despite promises from test-making giant Pearson Education that their technology would make those results available faster. It's hard to do much with test scores that come in after the new school year is already in full swing. That makes it very tough to create buy-in on the part of educators, parents, or even education observers.
PARCC has similarly failed to convince students and parents of its value, and opt-out numbers have soared. Those opt outs are a serious problem for a number of reasons. First, they signal that the state is spending many millions of dollars on a testing instrument that parents and students do not see as valuable enough to use, particularly in certain grade levels. Second, they throw a serious wrench in the state's accountability system. You know there's an issue when you have to start flagging school and district accountability reports with asterisks for "low participation." Finally, and more seriously, the unreliable data caused by the opt-out movement harms parents' ability to make informed educational choices and adds fuel to the fire of the anti-reform movement.
There are many, many issues involved in Colorado's current testing situation. But I remain convinced that one of the primary drivers of Colorado's testing woes has been PARCC's unpopularity. That's why I was thrilled to see Independence Institute support a bill this year to remove PARCC from all Colorado high schools and replace it with a test that prepares students for and aligns with the SAT in 11th grade. That bill has since been signed into law.
Now, it looks like Colorado is taking similar steps in earlier grades. Thanks to a Colorado State Board of Education decision back in December, Colorado will soon move away from PARCC testing in grades 3-8 as it withdraws from the PARCC testing consortium. That should be cause for celebration for parents concerned about PARCC and a good catalyst to begin returning our focus to sensible accountability and testing. But don't get too excited yet.

The cockney duo Chas & Dave have split after playing together since 1972, following the death of Dave Peacock's wife.
As one of Britain's longest running and best loved rock acts, they were responsible for tunes such as 'Rabbit', 'The Sideboard Song', 'Ain't No Pleasing You' and 'Snooker Loopy'.
Bassist Dave Peacock, 64, announced his intention to retire from the music industry following the death of his wife Sue from lung cancer.
Lead singer and pianist Chas Hodges has vowed to continue playing their hits under the new name of Chas And His Band.
Chas, 65, today said: "Obviously it's sad. It's the end of an era but the start of another one - the show goes on.
"I still see Dave every week and he's coping but I don't think he wanted to do the gigging any more.
"He has horses and he loves driving them round his grounds and painting gypsy wagons which he's very good at so I don't think he'll miss the gigging.
"Chas & Dave is a legendary name but I shall be taking over the gigs. I'll be doing the old songs as well as new ones and talking about Dave during the show."
The band's agent, Barry Collings, added: "Sadly Dave's beloved wife Sue passed away in July this year after over 30 years of blissful marriage.
"Understandably Dave has taken his loss very badly and he hasn't the heart to continue gigging and with regret he has decided to retire from the music business."
The duo pioneered the musical genre 'Rockney', and had received somewhat of a renaissance in recent years thanks to bands such as The Libertines citing them as influential.
Sue Peacock died of lung cancer aged 63 on July 4 this year, despite never having smoked.
A tribute on the band's website read: "Sue was quite simply a remarkable human being. Loved by anyone who was lucky enough to know her, she never had a negative point of view on anyone or anything.
"Sue and Chas' wife Joan were inseparable best friends, and she and Dave were godparents to Chas and Joan's children.
"Sue was instrumental behind the scenes for Chas and Dave, working tirelessly on the side of the business that musicians just aren't good at.
"It's accurate to say that without Sue and Joan, there wouldn't have been Chas and Dave."

For the U.S. solar energy industry, 2011 was a historic year. On the positive side, the market for solar installations continued to boom, as the U.S. installed 1,855 megawatts (MW) of photovoltaic (PV) solar systems, representing 109% growth over 2010. The fourth quarter of 2011 saw 776 MW of PV installed, by far the most of any quarter in U.S. market history (473 MW was the previous record, set in the third quarter of 2011). Growth occurred in every market segment—residential, non-residential and utility—and in 18 of the 23 states that are tracked individually. The dollar amount of project fi nance investments reached an all-time high and traditional energy companies such as MidAmerican Energy Holdings, Exelon and NRG Energy became equity investors in the largest planned solar projects in the country.
Not all developments in 2011 were positive. With regard to installations, the highly valued 1603 Treasury Program expired at the end of the year, subsequently complicating the financing of many new solar projects. As for manufacturing, though global PV module capacity grew more than 50% in 2011, throughout most of the year global demand remained slow as a result of regulatory changes in Italy and tepid growth in Germany. Solar panel prices went into free-fall in the second quarter and refused to stabilize until the last weeks of 2011, ultimately falling more than 50% during the year. This squeezed profi t margins for every manufacturer, but it was particularly damaging for two types of companies: those that were less cost-competitive and those that were in the process of commercializing new technologies. As a result, multiple U.S. module manufacturing plants closed over the course of 2011. Despite these closures, U.S. module manufacturing capacity expanded 28% and production remained fl at for the year when compared to 2010.
In the wake of precipitously falling module prices, SolarWorld, along with six unnamed partners, filed an anti-dumping/countervailing duty petition against Chinese crystalline silicon cell and module manufacturers with the Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission in October 2011. The petition alleges that Chinese suppliers benefitted from illegal subsidies and dumped product into the U.S. market. The outcome of the petition remains to be seen. However, it has already begun to impact procurement patterns and complicate the overall supply picture in the U.S.
In September 2011, Solyndra, a CIGS module manufacturer, filed for bankruptcy and brought with it a storm of negative attention to the solar industry. While Solyndra was never a signifi cant player in the global solar industry, its default on a federal loan guarantee brought a high-profi le political element that was absent for the other two U.S. solar bankruptcies in 2011 (Spectrawatt and Evergreen Solar). As a result, an industry blessed with overwhelming public support suddenly became a target for those who sought to admonish the loan guarantee program or clean energy policy in general.
While it is easy to brush aside the more outlandish claims made in response to Solyndra's failure regarding solar technology in general, the Solyndra story has brought a number of valuable questions to the forefront. First, has the support that has been given to the solar industry, both at the state and federal level, been successful? The market's impressive recent growth points to yes. Installations are booming, jobs are being added, and solar has proven itself as a reliable technology to meet growing energy demand. Second, is there a role for U.S. solar manufacturing? Here, there is reasonable debate on both sides. We continue to believe that the U.S. can maintain a presence in manufacturing innovative, proprietary technologies, particularly those in their early stages of commercialization. Apart from this, the U.S. can remain home to the bulk of innovations that drive down the cost of solar power for years to come. That being said, it would be unreasonable to expect all (or even most) solar manufacturing to come from the U.S. The solar industry is global, and consequently subject to the same economic forces as manufacturing in other sectors. Undoubtedly, some portions of the value chain will fi nd domestic manufacturing attractive while others will not. The U.S. certainly has a role to play, but it will be over the next decade that the nature of that role will be determined. As the industry continues to mature, successful and sustainable companies will be separated from hopeful but ultimately unsuccessful ventures.

Your pic is EPIC and I rly loved the light effects. Looks CELESTIAL!!!
this is amazing. full of magic and beauty. it makes me smile
This, by far, is my favorite.
Really nice colors and blending. A bit fractally in the upper right corner, try softening the edges out a bit - or if you want it crisp try fattening the strokes a bit by manually painting over it. Good job though!
Beautiful work! This colors brings a peaceful atmosphere, between calm and beautiful of the unknown.
Wow...the colours in this are beautiful and I love how they all almost blend together. Nice job...and good luck with the contest!
Lovely art! The colour of that nebula is stunning!
Wow very lovely
is messier 83 an actual astronomical thing?
Really cool.
Reminds me of a sea-bottom scene.

Do you ever come across a blog post you just know you will never forget? You know those ones you're dying for everyone else to read? There are ones that put my thoughts into much more eloquent words and articulate ideas better than I ever could. Or there are ones that present totally new ideas with much more wisdom and experience than I have... That is mostly the case.
I read these awhile back, but I continue to think about them. Here are a few that I think about often and would like to share.
1. Mary's Story
Mary's story of her beautiful Courtney is amazing. I don't think I can do any justice by even explaining it. Just go read it yourself when you have time and some tissues.
2. My Child, I Love You- Evidence of Life
Every. Single. Post. Lindsay is such a beautiful example of a mother. I hope one day I can look at laundry like she does. She really is a great role model for myself as a young mother. (Drew arranged for me to get a chance to hang out with her a few years ago on my birthday! She is the sweetest and even gave me a birthday present. It's always a treat bumping into her family.)
3. And this one- I Haven't Been Busy
Especially how she handles everything she can't get done in one day. I've been thinking about that a lot lately. (And I only have one baby!)
4. This Ain't the Lyceum- The Elimination of Charity and the Marginalized
"However, today a common way proposed to help your fellow man is to eliminate his sufferings through death. We are quickly becoming a society that does not want to eliminate suffering through charity and service but through the elimination of the person. We are sacrificing people, rather than our time."
So so good.
5. All of Mama Needs Coffee.. but in particular this one- Maybe it's Just Love
I love how Jenny writes with so much love and compassion about controversial topics. Her series: Understanding the church's teaching on sex and marriage is definitely worth checking out.
6. Catholic All Year- Dear Newlywed, You're Probably Worried About the Wrong Thing.
I love Kendra's parenting posts and this one in particular.
7. Three Dogs North Podcast- What Do You Want
Rob shares a story about some POWERFUL prayers that really got me thinking about how I pray.
I could really go on and on. What are some of your favorites?

Firefox 14 Brings HTTPS Search, Click-to-Play Plugins
Mozilla has once again done what it has been doing every six weeks for over a year now. Confused? Well, were talking about the highly controversial tri-fortnightly practice of bundling up a handful of new Firefox features, tweaks and bug fixes, and pretending that the ensuing software package is significant enough to be rolled out as a major version update. In other words, Mozilla has once again updated its flagship browser.
According to Mozilla, Firefox 14 offers a much more secure browsing experience than before. This is not only due to its various bug fixes, though. The latest stable build of Firefox includes HTTPS support for Google searches and an improved site identity manager.

I use Foxit Reader, and the Foxit Reader plugin is working for me with FF 14.
You may want to consider an alternate PDF reader such as Foxit.

I don't use any pdf reader online. I download and save the pdf file and use coolpdf to read offline. That's why I brought up the integration(?). If it is integrated, is there an opt-out? Or an about:config tweak to disable?
The issue may be moot. I switched to PaleMoon as a primary browser some months ago, and its path to the future seems more to my liking. In light of the recent Firefox changes, Firefox may become an afterthought.

Ah, OK
Where exactly is the temp file you you see?
I'll look on my PC and see if it's there.
As it's just a temp file, i don't pay much attention and expect Ccleaner to delete it...

With my appdata\local\temp folder empty and PaleMoon running, I run Firefox 14.0.1. The temp folder is instantly filled with an empty folder acro_rd_dir. The homepage is yahoo.com with no pdf offered. (The 15 beta 1 did the same thing.)
I expect programs I use to utilize the temp folder and create directories as necessary. If acro_rd_dir is indeed Adobe Acrobat Reader, an unnecessary 3rd party utility, then I would seek a way to disable it.

I also have this folder.
Everything i found says Flash uses it for temp cache.
|My System Specs
|20 Jul 2012
My Yahoo search resulted in a majority linking videocacheviewer.
It would be a strange programming quirk by Adobe.
I installed both 32bit and 64bit versions of the non-IE Adobe Flash plugins for my PaleMoonx64, Waterfox(x64), Firefox(x32) and its betae.
The empty folder, acro_rd_dir, only instantly appears in the appdata\local\temp folder when I run the 32-bit gecko-based browsers. When I run the 64-bit gecko-based browsers to an empty temp folder, opening to the same homepage throughout the experiment, the temp folder stays empty.
Either Adobe Flash creates and uses a temporary cache folder, or it doesn't. Why not the 64bit version if it does?

Matthes Report: Millville
Matthes on Roczen, Stewart and more.
One more week over here for the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross series and then a much needed two-week break in the series. I know this past weekend at Millville I was talking to a few different riders and team members, who all said that this break coming up was going to mucho appreciated. The supercross series is seventeen races in eighteen weeks and, so far, the motocross series has been nine in ten, so Washougal coming up then two weeks off and three in a row to end the 2016 season. Unless you count the two USGP rounds that are right after the final national, then the Motocross of Nations, then the Red Bull Straight Rhythm, then the Monster Cup, then…
Some thoughts on Millville returns and this weekend coming up as well as some Kenny Roczen quotes coming right up!
– Anyone who thought that Monster Energy Kawasaki's Eli Tomac was going to get some confidence from his Southwick win and take it to Roczen or perhaps challenge him was slightly off base, as Millville was something I imagine was straight out of General Custer's last stand. Roczen was almost two-seconds faster in qualifying and came from the back in both motos to take commanding 1-1 scores on the day. It was a tour-de-force for the RCH Suzuki rider and one of the more impressive rides this journalist has seen in a while.
– We wondered who was going to take that third spot on the podium after Roczen and Tomac. Injuries to Ryan Dungey, Cole Seely, Jason Anderson and Trey Canard have thinned out the field and there is some serious podium bonus money up for grabs now. Red Bull KTM's Marvin Musquin has impressed the last few weeks and even beat Tomac in Millville. Washougal is a great track for Moving Marv, so I'd look for him to be on the box and maybe even repeat that runner-up spot.
It is a slippery and a throttle control type of track, which Marv excels at. He has captured the pole there a few times and won three out of the last four motos there (granted in the 250MX class, but still), so Musquin, who is already third in the points, is looking to separate himself even more after this weekend.
– The 450MX class was spicy this weekend with the return of some injured riders. Let's talk about each guy's race and give them a grade on how they did, yes?
Trey Canard came back after missing a few races with a back injury and finished sixth overall. Canard has shown an amazing ability to return from injury and immediately run the pace and, with him liking the Millville track, I thought he'd be more in contention for a podium than he was. But, still, sixth overall is fine and he'll get better and better as he races his way back into contention. Oops, scratch that! Literally as I was typing this out a PR came in that Canard injured himself in a practice crash and will be out this weekend. That was fast! Welcome back Trey. See you soon, I guess. Still, his return was a solid B+.
Dean Wilson made his return to racing after a second ACL injury suffered at Anaheim 2. Only six months post-op, Wilson's return was impressive and he is trying to get some rides under his belt to show perspective teams that he is good to go. Anaheim 2 was a long time ago bro, so 11-11 finishes are respectable. Wilson admitted that the track was a bit rougher than he had remembered and that no matter how good he thought his fitness was, racing is different than practicing. With Tommy Searle struggling a bit this season, Max Anstie having issues and Shaun Simpson getting hurt, maybe Wilson's earning himself a look for Team Great Britain at the MXoN? Anyway, his return gets a B.
James Stewart came back and logged one tenth-place finish in moto one. THIS IS CLOSE TO A VICTORY FOR STEW! It has been a horrible year for James and he can't seem to actually finish races so to get one moto finish, and a decent one at that, is something, right? He pulled off in the second moto due to blisters and he looked to be struggling with fitness, but this is SOMETHING right? It is amazing to say, but James Stewart's got to just start building some small finishes one on top of another and he'll get into the mix. I'd love to be inside Stewart's head out there at Millville as he is getting passed by riders he probably didn't even know their names. I'll give him a C.
– So, as we said, Roczen killed it and we talked to him on Monday after the race to get his thoughts on the race and some different topics. Let's get right to it.
On whether he thinks Millville is the best track of the series… "No, I kind of dislike it a little bit. I honestly can't tell you why. I feel like I've never really done that good each year, but not even because of that. I didn't really mind it this year. I have never thought about it. When I dislike a track, for example Glen Helen, everybody that knows me knows you can pay me to go ride there and I normally wouldn't do it. I don't go there with a negative mindset though. But, actually, I thought this year was pretty good at Millville. I liked it."
On his bike working better at Millville than Southwick due to some new fork settings… "Yeah, I'm just going to leave them [the settings]. Mainly the whole year what I have kind of been struggling with was just it is hard to find a perfect setting period, but I feel like mine have been a little bit harsh and then they kind of dive. Now I have a different fork that I messed around with a little bit during the week here and went with it the way I thought it was going to be good. Just went with it for the weekend and kind of just left it.
"At Southwick I was really frustrated, but even then I didn't freak out because I know it's the wrong thing to do. I don't really care. I never asked for a perfect bike, just something that I could ride with. Now I'm pretty stoked on it. There is always something that can be better obviously. But I'm just going to leave it. We've got four races to go and it's not like my bike is terrible by any means. I can ride with it pretty good and I'm just going to go to Washougal, throw a couple of whips and then go race."
On this weekend's race… "Actually Washougal is the perfect German track with the dirt, the elevation and everything. I would lie if I would say I really like it. I don't know why. Honestly it's another one of those things. I've never really done good there. Have you noticed that? I've never really felt that good. But, again, I go to the weekend and I have fun. But the problem is just when it's sunny. We talk about it every year with the shadows and stuff. It's really, really tough."
On Adam Cianciarulo and his season… "The kid hasn't really ridden a whole lot of races in the last couple of years, so I think it is awesome just to get through the whole outdoor season, get races under his belt and get comfortable. We obviously give him pointers. We always have stuff to work on to keep that intensity the entire time, so we always have a good plan. I help him wherever I can and he listens pretty good, but besides that even when it's super hot out here and it gets tough at the same time we're still having a blast. That's what makes you go forward."
On racing the 2016 Motocross of Nations… "I'm unsure. I want to every year – I love the event. I've ridden it a bunch. I think I won four consecutive MX2 titles and then obviously in 2012 Germany won in the sand. I definitely plan to race it every year. I still am, kind of, but I just don't know yet. It's expensive – that's another thing I think with the teams. For them it's kind of like, 'whatever'. There is a good possibility we have to take the cost on us and ship everything."
On racing this off-season… "We have done twenty-five races and only had three weekends off. I think you can ask any rider and I think we would lie if we would say, 'no, let's keep racing for a few more weeks.' On the break, actually my mom, my sister and my niece are coming over. We are going to go to Utah for a little bit, hang out and look at a couple of cool places for a couple of days. It'll be fun.
"I'm looking forward to it. I don't have a whole lot of family time. My parents and everybody have been in Germany. It is for the better, I think, because I've got a great routine going and if there are a couple of off-weekends, like this right now, it will be a good time for them to come over for a little bit. Then I'm going to go back to work and get the job done."

Passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley corporate-reporting law and other changes in corporate governance have caused a large increase in the amount...
BATON ROUGE, La. — Passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley corporate-reporting law and other changes in corporate governance have caused a large increase in the amount of "unclaimed property" money being collected by all 50 states, state treasurers said.
That means a growing number of Americans could collect large piles of money, if they only knew where to look.
A Baton Rouge, La., man recently learned the state owes him about $750,000 in stocks and dividends from an investment account he had lost track of years ago.

"When somebody shows up, you give them their money," said John Kennedy, Louisiana's treasurer. "But most people don't know it's there."
States collected $22.8 billion in 2003 in money belonging to people who didn't come forward to claim it — a 44 percent increase over the $15.8 billion collected in 2000, according to surveys by the Lexington, Ky.-based National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators.
In the past, cash flowing into so-called "unclaimed property funds" came mainly from uncashed payroll checks, abandoned bank and brokerage accounts, and inheritances that heirs were unaware existed.
Several factors have caused the recent spike, state treasurers said.
Some sites to check for forgotten money:
ACS Unclaimed Property Clearinghouse: www.missingmoney.com
National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators: www.unclaimed.org
U.S. Treasury unclaimed property site: www.publicdebt.treas.gov/sav/sbtdhunt.htm.
Passage of Sarbanes-Oxley in 2002 forced companies to tighten their auditing processes, leading them to hand over more unclaimed money to governments, said Benny Spann, head of Louisiana's unclaimed-property division.
Banks, for example, must transfer to state governments the money in any account whose owner has fallen out of touch with the institution for anywhere between three to five years, depending on the state's law.
Sarbanes-Oxley meant financial institutions became more attuned to those laws, Spann said.
"For many years, that was completely under the radar," Spann said.
Jeb Spalding, Vermont's treasurer, said another reason is a change in the insurance business. Many mutual insurance companies, owned by policyholders, have reorganized to become publicly traded companies.
As a result, policyholders have received billions of dollars in stock and cash from insurers' initial public offerings, though many don't realize it.
Some state treasurers said other reasons could be the popularity of Internet stock accounts, which clients sometimes forget they opened, and the fact that Americans move are now more likely to move from city to city, forgetting previously opened bank accounts.
The amount of money states returned to its rightful owners has also increased, from about $500 million in 1999 to $916 million in 2003, according to the unclaimed property administrators' group.
The states have handed over a handful of dollars to some people, more than $1 million to others. The larger figures usually come from inheritances.
That's what happened to Wesley Goodman of Kenner, La., who recently learned his father, who died in 1987, had a credit-union account worth $17,421.61. Goodman used the money to remodel his home and buy furnishings. What was left went into his savings account.
"It worked out really kind of nice for us," said Goodman, 59, who supervises airplane mechanics for Continental Airlines at the New Orleans airport.
While the states have to hold on to the funds indefinitely, most people never collect, and most states find ways to use the money.
North Carolina and Missouri use the interest to pay for advertisements informing the public about how to collect.
Louisiana — where unclaimed money jumped from $12.7 million in 1995 to about $45 million this year — uses some to finance the completion of an interstate highway.
Kennedy said he faces one persistent obstacle when trying to persuade the public to come forward and collect. When a state government official talks about passing out free money, people with suspicious minds immediately think it's an "evil government trick."
Said Kennedy: "I still have people who say to me, 'I know you're just trying to get my Social Security number so you can hit me with back taxes.' "
