Hi @nite
Is the SDKBOX Plug-In for Cocos Creator still in beta? Or can I used it to implement Social Sharing into my games ( facebook, twitter ). If I use the Social Sharing plug-in, would it be also compatible with Desktop games, or it's just mobile ? Also can you provide a link on how to use this plug-in, even if it's in Chinese......Thanks and God Bless....
Only the plugin-in installer is beta since we're still refining it, but the SDKBOX plugins are already on thousands of games.
Currently SDKBOX only supports mobile platform.
Hi @nite,
Thanks for info / explanation, much appreciated it....Do you think the plug-in for Cocos Creator will be out of BETA by the implementation of Cocos Creator v1.5? Can I use as well, the twitter and facebook sdk's for mobile within my game, by building and using Xcode / Android Studio ? Thanks again...God Bless....
Yes, you should be able to use them in your game, thousand of games already using it.
Thanks for the info, much appreciations, I'm going to use the sdk box plug in v 1.0.2 beta, but here's a screenshot, it install fine in my Mac Mini OS, but can't open cocos creator project, nor it recognizes the projects, I've install it twice already
MacOS SierraMac mini ( Late 2014 )Processor: 2.6 Ghz Intel Core i5Mem: 8 GB 1600 MHZ DDR3Graphics Intel Iris 1536MB
Any thoughts? Thanks and God Bless....
for Cocos Creator, please use Cocos Creator plugin, it's much better integrated with cocos creator workflow.
Thanks for the help, appreciated it...I went to the link you provided, and press on the link where the gui was updated to work with 1.4, and got this:
Sorry can you try this link
@nite Thanks for sharing, but it's still not available.
Thanks for the help...... However, I downloaded and unzip folder and trying to go to Home Directory..Cocos Creator / Packages..... But I didn't find any package folder within Cocos Creator application? Am I supposed to create a package within Cocos Creator editor, under Packages -> Create New Package -> For all Projects or For Current Project ? so it will show in the back-end, and then transfer the sdkboxgui files to the newly created packages folder? Thanks again for the help and God Bless....
Just update, I found a packages folder under my Project Game Folder, hence:
ProjectGameFolder - > packages - >
Is this where we are supposed to unpack sdkboxgui? Or in the previous note above, Home -> Cocos Creator - > packages? Would appreciate any insights, direction......God Bless....
Here is my plugin's path:/Users/whoami/.CocosCreator/packages/store_cocos_com_sdkbox_1_0_0_816484
You may need to create new folder 'packages' then reopen Cocos Creator to see the result.
Hi @cuongnmx
Thanks for the help....I actually copy the sdkboxgui ( unzipped ) into my GameProject - > packages and i now see the sdkbox menu in Cocos Creator........ So my question is what is the main difference between having it within Cocos Creator file system versus Game Project file system ? Thanks and God Bless....
Installing in Cocos Creator file system will let you see SDKBOX menu in all projects. Installing in Game Project file system onlye gives effect on Game Project.
Got it......Thanks for the explanation and help..... God Bless....
Please help, I am getting this error when I try to import an SDKBOX plugin into my Binary Build. I'm using Cocos Creator v1.4.1 (Cocos2d-x 3.9) and SDKBOX Installer v220.127.116.11
What do I need to update and how? Thanks!
Can I have a screenshot of your folder structure?
@nite here is my Creator folder structure:

Ron Paul and Lambda Chi Alpha

Ron Paul's links to Secret Societies
posted: Tue, 02 Oct. 2007
The following post is by no means complete, and more research needs to be done to further link Ron Paul to Masonic Secret Societies and the Satanic Agenda.
We've all heard of Bush and Kerry's links to the Skull'n'Bones. This is Ron Paul's story.
Between 1953-57 when Ron Paul (age 18-22) was at Gettysburg College, he was inducted into the "Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity (ΛΧΑ)" where he served as steward and house manager. - So what is this Lambda-Chi-Alpha?
History (my comments in brackets):
It was founded on November 2, 1909 when a man called Warren Albert Cole (& Jack Mason?) had a meeting with his first cousin and a more distant relative. Cole previously made some unsuccessful attempts at starting a fraternity, about which we know little more than names: "The Lodge," "Tombs," "Lambda Pi," then it was Lambda Chi Alpha "Loyal Collegiate Associates,". (Just the names themselves are overtly Masonic and throw up warning signs. Just wait until you hear what they get up to!)Early in 1912, Cole wrote to Lewis Drury asking if he was interested in forming a Greek-letter society. Drury was quite interested. Lambda Chi Alpha's first established chapter, Gamma Zeta, was born. On May 25, 1912, Albert Cross took Cole's Johnston badge to William Thegen's Sons at 618 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, just half a block from Independence Hall, and ordered eight pins for the Pennsylvania chapter. Thegen's like Johnston was not known for making fraternity jewelry, but rather - Masonic items and military medals!
During the spring of 1912, a chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha, Epsilon Zeta began at the University of Pennsylvania. By the beginning of 1913, Delta Kappa at Maine was admitted as the seventh chapter. Lambda Chi Alpha was now truly a national fraternity, even though most of its chapters were still very young and not yet well organized. The first real efforts at national solidarity were made at the Second General Assembly, held at the MIT chapter house in Boston, March 22, 1913.
The L.G. Balfour Co., founded by Lloyd G. Balfour in 1913, made the first Lambda Chi Alpha badges for the Cornell University chapter in October of that year.
Jack Mason gave a handwritten letter to Albert Cross containing Mason's vision of the ideals and principles of Lambda Chi Alpha and how they would be expressed. His reason for the adoption of a new Initiation Ritual was based on the following rationale:"The first question is, what should be the highest aim of a college fraternity? The answer is-I think-to have men of sterling character, who are efficient workers along all the lines of human activity (Masonic activity); not students with big, all-around sympathies, who can deliver the goods in whatever activity they take up (in other words, NOT godly men who deliver the goods). In other words we have to preach two doctrines (Doctrines!), the doctrine of work (masonic) and the doctrine of character (satanic); or, if you wish to join the two, the doctrine of mighty energy working toward a high ideal (the kingdom of the devil on earth). Nothing else counts. It makes no difference how pleasant (godly) a chap he is, if he can't do good sincere work (THEIR work) he's not good, and we don't want him for a brother. The people we do take for brothers we want to encourage along these lines all we can."
In addition to the development of a new "Initiation Ritual" (did you say INITIATION and RITUAL!), the 1913 General Assembly saw the adoption of the significance of Zeta and Lambda Chi Alpha and revisions to the coat of arms and badge. In 1939 Theta-Kappa-Nu and Lambda-Chi-Alpha merged with each other. Theta Kappa Nu Fraternity was formed by the union of 11 well-established local fraternities on Jun 9, 1924 in Springfield, Missouri.
Symbols (mostly my commentary: images can be found on wikipedia-Lambda Chi Alpha):
Coat of Arms
The most noticeable thing sticking out of the coat of arms is the shining emblem above the Crown, always representing the false light of Lucifer eminating from whatever sign is representing him, which in this case is the crescent in the cross. This is over and behind the Crown, which always represents the self-given right to rule on behalf of lucifer. This is the single most reproduced symbol in all Masonic-Satanic coats & logo's and is seen in governments, royal houses, police, security and unions. Get a load of what the crown is resting on " a knights helmet that looks like a really evil pacman!. LOL!.
The three open mottos, in the ribbons, translated from top to bottom, "Crescent in the Cross," "Naught Without Labor," and "Every Man a Man.".
Present on the shild are the crucicrescent (small shield in the middle containing a beast holding up something), the lamp of learning (has some sort of masonic meaning), the clasped hands of brotherhood (openly masonic sign used everywhere nowdays, the three pentagrams-stars signifying something to do with satanism), the scales of justice (signifying masonic justice), as well as the inescutcheon (book?) signifying their merger with Theta Kappa Nu, and the badge of membership below from which sprout vines around the edge (as seen in so many masonic organisations from govt, police & even the UN).
Crescent in the Cross
Lambda Chi Alpha espouses 'knightly' ideals to use the crescent as a symbol, thus linking back to Knights Templars and early masonic history. This symbol looks like a cross as seen in org's such as the red-cross (ie. All 4 stems are equal in length) with a moon-crescent entangled in it. It is notable that only Masonic Societies use both the cross and crescent together in their symbology.
Brotherhood Badge
The first thing to notice about this badge is the pearl-set crescent with horns turned toward the left, the horns being symbolic of both the moon, and most probably the horns of Lucifer.The horns enclosing a monogram of the Greek letters, 'Lambda, Chi, and Alpha' which is very reminiscent of the compass & square symbol masons use. The center of the crescent bears the Greek letters, 'Delta Pi' on top of each other. Check out the shape of that configuration. Ever seen the photo of Alistair Crowley Holding his wrists up & wearing the triangular hat with the all seeing eye! That's what these symbols look like.The Badge is 'properly' worn over the heart, signifying the complete overshadowing / replacement of the spirit by this organisation.
Associate Member Pin (looks like something out of Babylon-5)It embodies the official badge of Theta Kappa Nu as well as the original pin of Lambda Chi Alpha. The original Lambda Chi Alpha pin was a gothic arch and with the union, this was superimposed upon the triangles composing the official badge of Theta Kappa Nu. consists of the letters lambda, chi, and alpha formed into a Gothic arch superimposed over four triangles (another symbolic union of Lambda Chi Alpha and Theta Kappa Nu).
I heavily suspect that all the buildings the fraternity uses are Masonic Temples where their rites, rituals, initiations and other secret goings on are 'practiced'.
Their Creed (comments inserted):
We believe in Lambda Chi Alpha (not the most high God?), and its traditions, principles and ideals (what?). The crescent is our symbol (heh!); pure, high ever growing (?!), and the cross is our guide; denoting service, sacrifice (what to!), and even suffering and humiliation (typical!) before the world (before-the-WORLD), bravely endured if need be (gotta be brave to do that!), in following that ideal.May we have faith in Lambda Chi Alpha (you mean satan) and passion for its welfare (passionate devils!). May we have hope for the future of Lambda Chi Alpha (what future?) and strength to fight for its teachings (not the Word). May we have pure hearts (pure=black), that we may approach the ideal of perfect brotherly love (the love=hate of their own brotherhood).
Some of their Expectations:
I will know and understand the ideals expressed by my Fraternity's rituals (there's that word again) and will strive to incorporate these ideals in my daily life.I will respect and abide by all Fraternity laws, regulations, and policies (NOT the LAWS of GOD!).I will strive to bring into the Fraternity any man who would benefit from an enriching fraternal experience and who would strengthen the Fraternity (recruitment).I will at all times conduct myself as a gentleman and as a responsible citizen and will hold members accountable for their conduct (Pretend to be a decent human being & Punish those who speak out!).
A published letter states "Most campus Greek Letter organizations are secret." Their rituals, passwords, signs and oaths are SECRET. Members are expected to keep the secrets of the fraternity and the personal secrets any brothers decide to share or that members learn. They are a secret society! They have 'Officers' and even a 'Big Brother' LOL!.
The following is an excerpt from a webpage Exposing Greek Letter Organisations (GLO's):
Lambda Chi Alpha's Ritual was a great catch. It has a wealth of condemning material. Here is just a touch showing unequal yoking for any member professing Christ. It also makes another striking analogy. If the bond is eternal and just one brother goes to hell, then they all go. But of course, it is assumed that all LXA's are Christian men: "EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS AND MOTTOS A: Know then that the Bond of our Brotherhood is an eternal union between its members. The greek phrase of Zeugma Adelphotetos Christianikes, or Bond of Chirstian Brotherhood. Henceforth you are one in spirit with every brother of the fraternity." (Ritual of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, pp. 103-104, 1987)Another ritual practice of Lambda Chi Alpha is CIRCUMAMBULATION. This is a common practice is found in the initiation of WITCHES and is practiced in FREEMASONRY. How can a Christian be ONE in the SPIRIT with an unsaved person and an UNGODLY organization? An Organization founded upon Christian principles would never say such garbage. Fraternities, sororities, masons, eastern stars, etc. Your 50-200 years of secrecy/concealment is over!!! It is better to be exposed now than at the great white throne of judgement! Perhaps you will denounce and repent. I made a vow to God that if more members are acquired by GLO's, it will not be because of ignorance and deception. All people who read Coming Apart at the Seams will know exactly what they are getting themselves into, and have no excuse of ignorance or deception, but will be in unbelief.

This was a rather hasty putting together of info edited from several sources including wikipedia, the Lambda chi alpha website, and other websites found using google searches. It's not meant to be a proper article, just some info to get out there to spark some interest in researching Ron Paul's hidden history. Someone though should write up a proper article. While much has been written about various members of US leadership's Hidden secrets, virtually nothing seems to exist about Ron Paul. If only people like Alex Jones and many other key supporters could get this info, it might just start to open their eyes a bit.

Great thread. Yes this is the type of info people need to know about. Ron Paul is not as squeaky as people would like to believe he is.

he presents an opportunity to inspire people who want to see change take action. Ron Paul... like Ringo can do very little with out, "a little help from his friends" Now, whether those friends are Illuminati/Satanist/Elitist/NWO/Freemason/Jesuit/Zionist evildoers or "We, The People..." is debatable i guess, but from what I can tell he opposes their basic tenants.

I can't believe I'm seeing "please don't spread any more shit on here about the man..."
91181, I'm asking you please whenever you find information like this to post it.
They said to him, "Tell us who you are so that we may believe in you." He said to them, "You read the face of the sky and of the earth, but you have not recognized the one who is before you, and you do not know how to read this moment." - Gnostic Gospel of Thomas.

I get asked all the time if there is a code for diamonds, and the simple answer is no.
There is a scam going around where evil fairies in the Pixie Post Office say they'll give you a code for diamonds if you gift them something. Of course, they'll say you have to gift them first before they give you the code, but then they quickly disappear once the gift is given and delete you off their friends list.
If any fairy offers to give you a diamond code in exchange for a gift, write down their D-Name, and please report them immediately to the Never Council for scamming!
Find any new codes that worked for you? Leave me a comment!

Beck begs viewers not to become violent
Glenn Beck tells viewers to "let Congress know that you are watching them like a hawk… you let them feel your burning gaze on them." But "just one lunatic like Timothy McVeigh could ruin anything," Beck warned.
Beck may have been responding to the arrest of an armed Long Island fan outside of Long Island Air Force Base. "If you ever here anyone thinking about or talking about turning violent, it is your patriotic duty to stop them," said Beck.

Liberal Fox News co-host Bob Beckel's use of the word "Chinamen" when discussing the "national security" threat China poses to the United States apparently caused such a stir at the Huffington Post that an "office-wide gasp" occurred.
Huffington Post senior political reporter Amanda Terkel and intern David McCabe both took to Twitter to talk about the "Chinamen" debacle.
Bob Beckel just referred to "Chinamen" on The Five. No, really. Really.
— Amanda Terkel (@aterkel) July 10, 2014
Might be first office-wide gasp I've heard all summer. RT @aterkel Bob Beckel just referred to "Chinamen" on The Five. No, really. Really.
— David McCabe (@dmccabe) July 10, 2014
"The Chinese are the single biggest threat to the national security of the U.S.," Beckel said on "The Five" during the segment in question. "They have been, they will be and they can wait, they're very patient. Do you know what we just did? As usual, we bring them over here and we teach a bunch of Chinamen — er, Chinese people — how to do computers and then they go back to China and hack into us."
The Huffington Post reports that the other hosts of "The Five" actually "[gasped] in disbelief," though Greg Gutfeld and Eric Bolling appeared to rub their eyes knowing that some of the usual suspects would be completely outraged by the word.
The left-leaning news website also notes that Beckel once referred to white people as "crackers" and said after he went swimming his "eyes blew up and it made me look Oriental."

By Aaron, Kevin, Jason, and Munch
Can be distinguished with three criteria...
Psychiatrists and psychologists have devised systems classifying abnormal behaviors called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) classification system. It uses 5 axis.
Axis I - All diagnostic categories except personality disorders and mental retardation
Axis II - Personality disorders and mental retardation
Axis III - General medical conditions
Axis IV - Physical and environmental problems
Axis V - Current level of functioning
The most controversial aspects are…
1. The manual classifies individuals based off of symptoms, using the traditional type of thinking that mental disorders are a type of disease. This implies abnormalities have an internal cause that is independent of the environment
2. It focuses strictly on pathology and problems, instead of emphasizing strengths as well
Dissociative Amnesia-
Biological Factors-
Structural brain abnormalities:
Sociocultural Factors
The criteria for antisocial personality disorder include
Borderline Personality Disorder is indicated by the presence of 5 or more of the following symptoms
Man hospitalized with symptoms of ASPD
= irreversible surgery of brain tissue
Kevin- Abnormal Behavior
Aaron- Dissociative Disorders
Taylor- Schizophrenia and Personality Disorders
Jason- Therapy

I'm not exactly sure how this started, but whenever I get super excited about something and preface my good news with these words, my husband Derek's response almost every time is "...YOU GOT PROMOTED?!"
What the heck?
I prefer to think that its the pure joy he feels for me at the idea of a rewarding
salary career move that drives him to think along these lines. Maybe I need to start being a little more choosy about when I use this phrase so it's not such a let down all the time.
Sorry, dear. No promotion this time.
The good news is that I got my birthday camera back! You know, the one I had for 2 weeks before I dropped it and learned the hard way the lesson that if something is expensive it is usually fragile. Two weeks, some worrying, and a brand new lens later, it's as good as new.
So now I can officially get back to the serious and important business of photographing dinner while Derek waits patiently for his food.
I'm still looking for new and exciting ways to use zucchini, and tonight's dinner was intended to make a dent in the copious amounts of squash that my garden has been producing despite this summer's record heat and lack of rain. The original recipe called for salmon, but tilapia was on sale this week at the local market, and I think the substitution works well. The combination of the fresh squash, light and flaky tilapia, and this rich and tangy red pepper sauce is very tasty on a warm summer evening.
Takeaway: You may not be celebrating a promotion, but here's to getting excited about life's little things.
Grilled Tilapia and Zucchini with Red Pepper Sauce
adapted from Eating Well Magazine
Yields 4 servings
1/3 c sliced almonds, toasted
1/4 c roasted red peppers, chopped
1/4 c grape tomatoes, halved
1 clove garlic
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 tbs sherry vinegar (can substitute red wine vinegar)
1 tsp paprika
1 lb tilapia, cut into 4 portions (or however many you're going to serve)
2 medium zucchini, halved lenghwise
1 tbs fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Preheat grill to medium.
In a food processor, combine almonds, peppers, tomatoes, garlic, oil, vinegar, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth, and set aside.
Coat tilapia and zucchini on both sides with cooking spray, and sprinking with salt and pepper to taste. Place the zucchini halves directly on the grill, and place the tilapia on foil on the grill. I like to grill delicate white fish on foil so that when it cooks up and gets flaky it doesn't fall through! Grill, turning once, until the fish is cooked through and the zucchini is soft and browned, about 3 minutes per side.
Transfer the zucchini to a cutting board, and slice it into 1/2 inch pieces when it's cool enough to handle. Toss it in a bowl with half of the pepper sauce.
On each plate, place some zucchini along with a piece of tilapia over top, and then drizzle with some of the remaining pepper sauce. Garnish with parsley and enjoy!

Things That Should Be Banned In India Urgently –
While Indian government is concentrating on banning the things which are less destructive to us and our general public, it has overlooked a considerable measure of things which are a more imperative issue until further notice. The Indian govt. is by all accounts taking pride in banning these unimportant things.
Be that as it may, here is a rundown of part of things which should be a matter of concern in banning direct.
1. The unseemly circumstance selfies.
This funeral service selfie for an example.
2. Boycott Food in pesticides instead of pesticides in Food. (Humorous)
3. The Soft Drinks
With the exception of cleaning toilets the better way.
4. Tobacco at first.
5. Smoking
You offer what slaughters them, only a notice won't suffice. Spare lives and boycott smoking items.
6. Uproarious horns
Those lousy rich minxes who have huge slamming horns might be banned.
7. Diet Drinks
This one particularly on the grounds that the substitute of sugar utilized as a part of these cause more maladies which are viable later on bit by bit.
8. Child Labor
Why wouldn't you be able to concentrate on this exceptionally discriminating issue which will unquestionably lead India towards improvement.
9. Plastic Bottles
10. Tossing waste on street and open ranges.
11. Polythene sacks
One of the primary purpose behind the passings of numerous winged creatures and creatures in India is because of gagging by gobbling up the polythene packs.
12. Censorship
13. Honey Singh, Justin Beiber and Himesh Reshamiya
14. Try not to desert KRK please.
Ban him at first.
15. Drugs
The boycott which is as of now set up is insufficient strict to stop the illicit offer of medications.
16. Peeing out in the open
17. Popup advertisements
They are just excessively disappointing
18. Daily soap or TV Serials
Our moms have got all that much dependent and influenced by these critical serials. Spare them by banning these day by day tv serials.

Kosovo turns to US for help in talks with Serbia
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: February 27, 2013
PRISTINA, Kosovo -- Kosovo's prime minister has urged the United States to intervene and not allow concessions to Kosovo's Serb minority in talks with neighboring Serbia that could split the country.
Prime Minister Hashim Thaci urged U.S. Deputy State Secretary William Burns to back Kosovo's refusal to grant Serb minority rights "that would undermine the constitution and internal order," he said in a statement Wednesday.
The comment highlighted the pressure on Kosovo to agree to virtual self-rule for its Serb minority in talks mediated by the European Union.
Kosovo seceded from Serbia in 2008, an act that Serbia has never accepted. Kosovo has agreed to hold local elections in its Serb-run northern region but without executive powers that would snub federal rule.
Serbia is expected to dismantle illegal barriers in northern Kosovo.
Slovenian troops serving in the NATO-led peacekeeping mission in Kosovo, observe as local Serbs block the road near the village of Rudare, Kosovo, Friday, July 29, 2011. The European Union on Friday urged Serbia and Kosovo to reduce tensions after a series of incidents on their border. A top Serbian official says Serbs in Kosovo's north are blocking a convoy of NATO vehicles from reaching their base. Kosovo negotiator Borislav Stefanovic said he cannot ask the hundreds of protesters to unblock the road. The Serbs barricaded the road with trucks and mounds of earth in response to the military alliance taking over control of two crossing points on Kosovo's border with Serbia on Thursday.

I have special interest in 3SC- Naira Bet CEO declares
Naira Bet Chief Executive Officer, Akin Alabi has expressed sadness with the current position of 3SC on the Nigeria Premier League log table and also on their current situation where both the chief coach and his assistant resigned almost at the same period over poor funding of the club.
Alabi said that he is very passionate about the club, saying that as a child he has always had a special interest in them. He therefore declared that he will do whatever within his power to help them survive their current situation.
"In spite of the recent happenings at Shooting Stars I'll continue to show support, same way I have supported them since my childhood.
"If the Oyo state governor feels he can entrust the team in my care, I will be honoured to take over," revealed Alabi.
"All stake holders and fans of the team are not happy with the current situation at the club, no one wants his team to be at the 18th position, no one want his manager to leave but it is unfortunate with the things that are happening this season.
"Finance is a major issue affecting not just Shooting Stars but all the clubs in the league because of our economy. We can all understand what government is thinking about, and we can't blame our governor, Senator Abimbola Ajimobi because he is doing his best but the financial situation in the country is making things more difficult.
"I'm not happy, all the fans are not happy. Shooting Stars is my boy hood club, so I'm not going to be disappointed for supporting the team. I have been supporting them for decades, the team got relegated about three times and my support still remains intact. This applies not me alone but all the precious fans of the club over the years, buying tickets for home and away games.
"We believe in the importance of football and that's the main reason we have been supporting and investing in several ways. My company, nairabet.com made some donations to the club at the start of the season and we will not shy away from doing more to see the fortunes of the club rise this season and beyond" Alabi said.
2muchsports.com investigation revealed that the only stumbling block to the Niara Bet Chief taking over the club is the claim that he is a chieftain of PDP. But it is yet to be seen if the football loving administrator will decide to join the current ruling party.

Looking for support, reassurance and information?
Free Online Libraries Extend Learning
© Beverley Paine
The Baldwin Online Children's Literature Project brings yesterday's classics to today's children. Established a few years ago, The Baldwin Project seeks to make available online a comprehensive collection of resources for parents and teachers of children. Our focus, initially, is on literature for children that is in the public domain in the United States. This includes all works first published before 1923. The period from 1880 or so until 1922 offers a wealth of material in all categories, including: Nursery Rhymes, Fables, Folk Tales, Myths, Legends and Hero Stories, Literary Fairy Tales, Bible Stories, Nature Stories, Biography, History, Fiction, Poetry, Storytelling, Games, and Craft Activities. The Project offer these resources at no charge and grant permission to individuals to print copies for personal and educational uses.
ReadPrint.com is a free online library that offers thousands of free books for students, teachers, and the classic enthusiast. To find the book you desire to read, start by looking through the author index. For those who don't like reading, why not get your computer to read the books aloud? I use the speech software that came with my operating system to read back what I've written as it helps to pick up grammatical errors while I'm editing. It sounds funny, but I'm sure there is much better software available that has natural sounding voices. If you don't have time to read aloud every day and you children are happy to sit and listen while doing a quiet activity you can easily set up a chapter of 'The Invisible Man' or 'Little Women'.
Was this article helpful? Was it worth $1.00 to you? Your gift of $1 or more helps to keep this site operating offering encouragement and reassurance to families wanting better outcomes for their children.
Together with the support of my family, my aim is to help parents educate their children in stress-free, nurturing environments. In addition to building and maintaing this website, I continue to create and manage local and national home educating networks, help to organise conferences and camps, as well as write for, edit and produce newsletters, resource directories and magazines. I am an active support of national, state, regional and local home education groups.
I am currently giving this site a much needed facelift!
Welcome to the
We began educating our three children in 1985, when our eldest was aged five years. In truth, we had helped them learn what they need to learn as they grew and explored and discovered this amazing world since the moment they were born. I am a passionate advocate of allowing children to learn unhindered by unnecessary stress and competition, meeting developmental needs in ways that suit their individual learning styles and preferences. Ours was a homeschooling, unschooling and natural learning family! There are hundreds of articles on this site to help you build confidence as a home educating family. I hope that your home educating adventure is as satisfying as ours was!

Sound is full of difficult questions and slippery answers. I attack these questions in a circuitous and sometimes contrary approach that calls to mind one of my early influences, the author and provocateur Alfred Jarry and his creation of Pataphysics, or "the science of imaginary solutions." Like Jarry, my results might at first seem ridiculous: flasks appear to bubble and pop on their own, pseudo-scientific experiments torque plaster with heat and cold, and glass percussion instruments shaped by patterns of human DNA are smashed to bits. This exploratory process, while fanciful, always aims to present an altered relationship between sound and its source.

text: Sydney Campus Sydney Campus JMC Academy has recently relocated to a new purpose built three level campus in Harris Street, Ultimo, Sydney. Spanning just under 3,000 square metres, the Ultimo Campus sits opposite the Powerhouse Museum within the education hub of central Sydney. Ultimo itself is a stone's throw from the dining and entertainment precinct 'Darling Harbour' (soon to receive a further $1 billion facelift) and Sydney's vibrant 'China Town' district. Further development proposed for this educational and cultural hub includes a recent announcement regarding the development of New York style high-line project due for completion in 2015. The campus is directly accessibly by rail and bus (see here for specific routes and timetables) and is a brief 8-10 minute walk from Central Railway Station and from major public bus routes.

Minnesota ValleyNational Wildlife Refuge
Send E-MAIL through my profile.
This is one of the most interesting parks I have found. If you take the State Corridor Trail, it's about a 1-1/4 mile walk to the farm. You will walk (or bike) on a gravel road until you reach Sand Creek. The trail becomes softball-sized rocks as you cross the water. You can also reach this cache by following the Mazomani Trail, but it's probably a longer walk, and you can't ride a bike.
The entrance is on a dead end road (145th Street W.), off of Hwy. 169 South, that goes past the Renaissance Festival. It is located in Louisville Township.

Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Reports at the weekend linked Manchester United goalkeeper Mark Bosnich with a move to the Principality, along with Metz's Faryd Mondragon and Chelsea's Christian Panucci, who is on loan from Internazionale.
Now, the club have been linked with a number of players, mainly currently playing in Italy but also in England, Germany and France as they look to strengthen the squad during the Championnat winter break.
Once again, Everton's Alex Nyarko (pictured) is being linked with a return to France just months after he moved to the Premiership from Nantes, despite the Ghanaian midfielder pledging to stay at Goodison Park after reports of Marseille's interest.
Internazionale midfield duo Clarence Seedorf and Benoit Cauet are also said to be targets for the reigning champions, who are currently 14th in the table after a disappointing first half to the season.
Seedorf has recently been linked with Lazio and Newcastle after falling out-of-favour at the San Siro and could be allowed to leave, although Cauet is less likely to want a transfer after establishing himself in the side.
Lens' Antoine Sibierski and Kaiserslautern's French international Youri Djorkaeff are also the subject of unlikely speculation as Monaco seek to add to their creative options.
Sibierski re-signed for Lens from Nantes in June and does not want to move, while Djorkaeff is settled in Germany and it is questionable whether he wants to return to his homeland after recent political clashes with the French Football Federation.
Yugoslavian international strike duo Pedrag Mijatovic and Darko Kovacevic are also reported to be targets for the Principality side.
Fiorentina forward Mijatovic, 31, has been linked with Aston Villa and Middlesbrough in recent months, and could relish the prospect of a move to France for a swansong in his career.
Kovacevic has been pushed out of the picture at Juventus this season following the arrival of David Trezeguet - ironically from Monaco - and, despite Borussia Dortmund being favourites for his signature, Marseille have already looked at taking him to France.

We live in a world that expects "digital by default".
The ever accelerating rise of IoT, connected devices and smart technologies means industries are changing.
Companies across the globe, large and small, must innovate to survive. The market-leaders and disruptive brands are using new forms of data and business intelligence to reinvent their sectors, transform business models and delight customers with new digital and personal experiences.
The social, economic and environmental impact of technological disruption around the world is a double-edged sword. We can now access to data and experiences that completely change what we can learn and do in our immediate surroundings. But growing populations, accelerating consumption of resources and a rising expectation economy means social, economic and environmental infrastructure is under incredible pressure to adapt and respond in line with the pace of technological development.
In this report we explore the towns and cities of the future from energy provision, council & local enterprise, to transport, public health and social care.
It's predicted that 91% of adults have their mobile device within reach 24/7. We spend an average of 9.3 hours a day sitting down at work, many in front of a screen. 30% of consumers already own or plan to own an in-home smart device.
Technology is a huge part of our everyday habits and routines. It gives us unlimited access to information at a click of a button.
But is it good for us? Are we making the most of technology's potential to help us learn, manage and maintain a healthier, more active lifestyle, or is it making us lazy? These are just some of the questions we explore in this report.
There's no denying that a day in the office looks wildly different today than it did 10 years ago. Innovation in staff mobility, cloud-based collaboration tools, automated workflows, smarter manufacturing and endless more examples, have had a profound impact on how we work, physically and culturally.
In this report we take a look at the world of modern work and explore the impact of technology from the new ways we complete day-to-day tasks and live in our office environments, to the digitisation of entire industries and skill sets.
We build voice assistant apps and mobile business solutions to help employee's gain valuable time. Automating the mundane.

Q. Our company is hiring a new finance director and we're planning to do credit checks on serious job candidates. Are there any legal issues that we should be aware of?
A. Make sure you take the steps necessary to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and any applicable state laws.
The FCRA requires employers to take various steps when using an outside agency to obtain background checks. Employers are required to provide notice and obtain the applicant's consent before obtaining a background report.
Minnesota law requires that notification to include a checkbox for the applicant to request a copy of the report. Once a report is obtained, an employer can take no adverse action based upon information obtained in a report until it goes through various steps aimed at giving the applicant an opportunity to dispute inaccurate information.
Even when authorized under the FCRA, employers should assess whether obtaining a background investigation is justified for the position for which the applicant is applying.
The EEOC recently indicated that it believes it is suspect to use credit checks as an indicator of job performance or a candidate's propensity to engage in theft or fraud. The EEOC has initiated lawsuits against at least two large employers, challenging the use of credit and criminal background checks in making hiring decisions.
While past court decisions have upheld the use of credit checks in making hiring decisions for jobs entailing managing finances or handling valuables, employers can expect to see more and more challenges to this practice as the use of credit checks increases.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 660148
SELinux preventing KDM from notifying Grub of next default boot option
Last modified: 2011-05-26 16:23:32 EDT
Description of problem:
For context, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=654575#c4
I found in /var/log/messages the final missing audit message that should solve bug #654575
kernel: [ 6616.404394] type=1400 audit(1291573879.954:9): avc: denied { write } for pid=13796 comm="grub" name="stage2" dev=sdf1 ino=65035 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:boot_t:s0 tclass=file
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy.noarch 3.9.7-14.fc14
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. setsebool -P xdm_exec_bootloader=1
2. Choose reboot from KDE menu
3. Click and hold the reboot button to see a list of boot options
4. Select one
Actual results:
Grub doesn't immediately boot into the selected option. It does if selinux is disabled.
Expected results:
Grub boots immediately into the selected option, with selinux enabled as long as xdm_exec_bootloader boolean is set
Additional info:
audit2allow says:
#============= xdm_t ==============
allow xdm_t boot_t:file write;
So it completely works with the following local policy
# grep xdm_t /var/log/messages | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
in enforcing mode?
Which is why I hate this function. I think the tool is actually modifying /boot/grub/grub.conf
I also think so and I really don't like idea to add this to the policy (to the boolean in this case).
It tries to run grub-set-default, which doesn't exist in fedora, then falls back to running grub and telling it to "savedefault --default=%d --once", (where %d is the index of the boot entry selected) which requires the grub-0.97-once.patch, which fedora apparently has.
The code is in svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kdm/backend/bootman.c
This bug is tangentially related:
Re: comment #2
Yes. It works now that I've done that.

Project 3, Theoretical Analysis
Gertrude's Patriarchal Muzzle
The patriarchal oppression of Gertrude's voice in Hamlet is remediated in John Updike's Gertrude and Claudius. Through this remediation Updike gives the previously passive character a voice and agency. This allowance of expansion on a character gives new insight into the original work. The intertexuality provides for a more multidimensional Gertrude, rather than the previously conceived notion of Gertrude as a flat character.
The remediation of literature allows for new interpretations on previously written texts. One aspect to this reworking of texts is the allowance for shifts in character agency. The power structures present in the original text can become reconfigured or erased altogether. Feminist scholars can not only interpret texts to exemplify underlying social norms and expectations regarding social acceptance in a work, now they can rewrite the text to eradicate the perceived slights. Remediation may be "more interesting to feminist thought because it embeds a more 'deviant' way of looking, endowing a multiplicity of viewpoints" (Hoofd). For example, the phallocentricism of Shakespeare's Hamlet can be analyzed and addressed, but the story can also be rewritten to give agency to the female characters. John Updike's Gertrude and Claudius remediates Shakespeare's Hamlet giving agency to the character of Gertrude. Updike's "engagement with Shakespeare's play integrates implications that express feminist values within the larger framework of intertextuality" (Savu 23). This prelude to Shakespeare's play gives Gertrude agency and lends explanation to her passive disposition in Hamlet.
In Hamlet Gertrude does not speak often and readers are unable to receive any personal insight on her husband's death or her remarriage. This lack of female voice in Hamlet corresponds to the play's setting. The structure of Shakespeare's text reflects Elsinore's patriarchal setting, which in turn mimics Renaissance society. Ophelia and Gertrude are the only female characters in the play, but they are only passive participants to the actions surrounding them. Shakespeare shaped his play according to Renaissance gender roles, giving the female characters very little in the way of speech. Gertrude asks Hamlet to stay, tells him to stop mourning his father's death, and welcomes his friends to Elsinore. Her actions and speech are passive. She gives the illusion of maternal doting while simultaneously causing suspicion. Her lack of speech regarding her quick marriage to her husband's brother raises questions regarding motive and knowledge of Claudius's actions.
Updike actively recovers the "female experience from the realm of Shakespeare's play and, in a more abstract sense, from the realm of "nonbeing" to which patriarchy relegates it" (24). The remediation gives agency to Gertrude. Her thoughts and opinions are expressed in a manner which is believable. Her actions still follow a prescribed and expected course for women of her time but the mere window onto her thoughts, provided by Updike, adds dimension to a previously flat character. The assumption of women as unable to make their own decisions or critically analyze a situation is exemplified in Hamlet by the lack of insight into the female characters. "Thus, the myth displaced in Gertrude and Claudius consists of a controlling set of patriarchal assumptions behind Shakespeare's delineation of female characters in Hamlet" (Savu 24). The implication that the female characters were having thoughts throughout the play, but in true Renaissance form, no one noticed.
As an example of remediation, Updike's Gertrude and Claudius exemplifies "the refashioning of canonical texts, through which novelists turn their literary forbears to new uses, enhancing, extending, or critiquing the meaning of the primary text" (22). Gertrude's lack of voice and agency in the original Shakespeare play frustrates readers in that they question her knowledge and intentions. Updike opens the world of her thoughts, such as the fact that she thinks "no woman wants to be a mere piece of furniture, to be bartered for and then sat upon" (Updike 5). This revelation is shocking to the reader who previously thought of Gertrude as something of a piece of furniture in Hamlet. As a woman void of agency she is merely inherited by her husband's brother.
After combining the Shakespeare play Hamlet and the Updike novel Gertrude and Claudius a new amalgamation of the character of Gertrude emerges. It becomes understandable why she does no t express herself in Shakespeare's play. She can now be viewed in a form of self-isolation. Being partly responsible for her husband's death has rendered her speechless toward any suspicions and accusations. The remediation changes a reader's perception of the original. Therefore, "Updike's novel gains importance for putting Shakespeare's play in a fresh perspective—a perspective that forces readers to reconsider their assumptions and responses to the play,"(Savu 24-5). As any feminist scholar knows, the reconsidering of assumptions is the first step towards change. The point Updike made is that just because Gertrude's voice was not heard does not mean she did not have one.
The use of remediation may be viewed negatively as reworking another author's original text to make it one's own. It can also be viewed as a possibility to re-establish power that may have been taken or excluded. The "refashioning [of]one's predecessors is key to understanding representation in earlier media" (Bolter, Grusin 49). While Shakespeare may have been fashioning his work to the society he saw, he may also assumed that a patriarchal structure was necessary. By remediating previous works, questions can be answered and a multitude of viewpoints can be explored.

ArachnoServer (www.arachnoserver.org) is a manually curated database providing information on the sequence, structure and biological activity of protein toxins from spider venoms. These proteins are of interest to a wide range of biologists due to their diverse applications in medicine, neuroscience, pharmacology, drug discovery and agriculture. ArachnoServer currently manages 1078 protein sequences, 759 nucleic acid sequences and 56 protein structures. Key features of ArachnoServer include a molecular target ontology designed specifically for venom toxins, current and historic taxonomic information and a powerful advanced search interface. The following significant improvements have been implemented in version 2.0: (i) the average and monoisotopic molecular masses of both the reduced and oxidized form of each mature toxin are provided; (ii) the advanced search feature now enables searches on the basis of toxin mass, external database accession numbers and publication date in ArachnoServer; (iii) toxins can now be browsed on the basis of their phyletic specificity; (iv) rapid BLAST searches based on the mature toxin sequence can be performed directly from the toxin card; (v) private silos can be requested from research groups engaged in venoms-based research, enabling them to easily manage and securely store data during the process of toxin discovery; and (vi) a detailed user manual is now available.
The growing realisation that most venomous animals possess a complex repertoire of protein toxins with potential pharmaceutical and agrochemical applications has led to an exponential increase in the rate of toxin discovery (1). Several databases have been specifically developed to facilitate retrieval of information about these toxins, such as Tox-Prot (2) and the Animal Toxin Database (ATDB) (3). These databases are critical for comparison of toxins across different groups of venomous animals but they typically lack the rich information content of manually curated databases that deal with specific subsets of animal toxins, such as ConoServer (4), which provides information about toxins from marine cone snails.
Spiders are the most evolutionarily successful venomous animals and the most abundant terrestrial predators. Their remarkable success is due in large part to their evolution of a pharmacologically complex venom that ensures rapid subjugation of prey. Most spider venoms are dominated by disulfide-rich peptide toxins that typically have high affinity and selectivity for specific subtypes of ion channels and receptors, making them particularly valuable from a pharmacological and drug discovery perspective (5–8). Spider venoms are likely to contain >10 million bioactive peptides based on the extraordinary taxonomic diversity of spiders, with the number of extant species predicted to be more than 100000 and the demonstration that some venoms contain more than 1000 unique peptides (5). This is a larger pharmacopeia than that of all other venomous animals combined.
Prior to the introduction of ArachnoServer 1.0 (9), no publicly accessible database existed specifically for collating information about proteinaceous spider toxins. Since its establishment in 2009, ArachnoServer has been widely used and the website has hosted visitors from more than 60 countries. ArachnoServer toxin cards (see Figure 1 for an example) are now cross-referenced through links on the corresponding sequence records in UniProtKB (http://www.uniprot.org), ArachnoServer accession numbers are included in the UniProtKB mapping service and the UniProtKB records have adopted the rational toxin nomenclature (1) that has been applied universally in ArachnoServer.
The starting point for data curation in ArachnoServer is the automated collection of all publically available sequence and annotation information for spider toxins from UniProtKB (10), the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collection (INSDC) and the Protein Data Bank (PDB) (11). These data sets are joined with the assistance of the Sequence Retrieval System (SRS) (12) into a single non-redundant set containing peptide sequences, nucleotide sequences and protein structures (where available) for each toxin (Figure 2). Other database identifiers (e.g. NCBI taxonomy codes, Gene Ontology classifications, PROSITE and Pfam accessions, etc.) are also imported, as well as literature references, annotations of sequence and structure features (e.g. known locations of disulfide bonds) and toxin descriptions. Spider taxonomy is derived from the World Spider Catalog (13) while other taxonomy (used for classification of a toxin's phyletic selectivity) is from the NCBI Taxonomy database (14). Since the majority of spider toxins act on ion channels and cell-surface receptors (8,15), we developed a molecular target ontology specifically for venom toxins that is based on the channel and receptor subtype definitions and nomenclature recommended by the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) (16).
Using the curation interface within ArachnoServer, curators can add additional data which includes, but is not limited to, a detailed description of the toxin; toxin name [which conforms to the rational nomenclature proposed for venom peptides (1) and venom sphingomyelinases (17)]; source species; discovery date; toxin synonyms; biological activity; phyletic specificity; molecular targets; sequence features such as toxin pharmacophore and disulfide bonds; database cross-references; and literature references. Literature references are sourced from PubMed (where available) using the PubMed eFetch web service. The process of data retrieval and curation in ArachnoServer is summarized in Figure 2.
In response to user feedback, we have implemented a major upgrade of ArachnoServer that includes the following new features:
Mass spectrometry is becoming one of the standard methods used to characterize venom components (7). Most spider toxins contain multiple disulfide bonds and therefore the mass of the oxidized form of the peptide (as opposed to the reduced form that is calculated in most databases) is typically of primary interest to venom researchers. Thus, toxin records in ArachnoServer now provide the average and monoisotopic masses for both the reduced and oxidized form of the toxin (see Figure 1 for an example). Moreover, the advanced search feature now includes an option to perform a search based on any of these mass classes (see below).
ArachnoServer provides an Advanced Search feature that enables multiple search clauses to be grouped and joined using Boolean operators. We have now added the ability to search for toxins on the basis of toxin mass, external database accession numbers and the date on which the toxin record was published in ArachnoServer. Additional columns have been added to the table of search results that display context-specific data for certain search categories. For example, a search for toxins with oxidized molecular masses within a certain mass range will yield a table in which the oxidized molecular mass for each 'hit' is indicated in the additional column. Context-specific data columns have also been introduced for searches based on toxin discovery date as well as the number of solved PDB structures, number of biological activities, number of molecular targets, number of posttranslational modifications and number of disulfide bonds. Search results can be exported in both PDF and XML formats.
Rapid BLAST searches based on the mature toxin sequence 'only' can now be performed directly from the toxin card. This option provides a mechanism to enrich alignment results for mature toxin sequences. The option to perform a BLAST search using the entire toxin sequence, which may include signal and propeptide regions, is still available. BLAST results are formatted in HTML and contain links to ArachnoServer toxin cards and the corresponding UniProtKB records where available.
ArachnoServer includes a browse feature that initially enabled toxin records to be located on the basis of 'Araneae Taxonomy, Molecular Targets and Posttranslational Modifications'. Each category creates a different browsing tree on the right hand side of the screen for easy selection of toxins. Toxins can now also be located on the basis of their 'Phyletic Specificity', that is, the range of organisms against which they are active. Choosing to browse by phyletic specificity creates a tree of organisms that includes five taxonomic levels: domain, class, order, genus and species. Selecting, for example the order Insecta will display all toxins with reported insecticidal activity. This new browse feature complements the ability to search for specific types of biological activity using the Advanced Search feature.
We have created private silos, available upon request, for researchers actively involved in discovery and characterization of spider-venom toxins. These silos provide secure repositories for groups of researchers, enabling them to enter and manage their toxin sequences. Within a private silo, the nominated curators have access (via secure login) to the full suite of ArachnoServer curation tools and features, including the ability to securely BLAST their toxin sequences against the public ArachnoServer database. Toxin records within private silos remain strictly confidential until a researcher decides to release a toxin card to the ArachnoServer curators. We anticipate that private silos will not only help toxinologists manage their intellectual property but will also enhance the quality of ArachnoServer records by ensuring that the initial curation is done by the researchers who discovered the toxin.
A detailed user manual is now available for download from the ArachnoServer website. The manual details the kind of data stored in ArachnoServer and how it is curated. The user manual explains all of the features available within ArachnoServer and it provides examples of browsing, advanced searches and BLAST searches.
ArachnoServer 2.0 currently manages 1078 protein sequences, 759 nucleic acid sequences and 56 protein structures, an increase from 567, 334 and 51, respectively, in version 1.0. Overall, this represents the largest single collection of spider toxin records in any online database. In addition, version 2.0 contains many more high-resolution images of spiders from which toxins in the database have been sourced. All images are downloadable and are freely available for academic use according to the creative commons noncommercial license.
ArachnoServer was designed to be useful to scientists across a broad range of disciplines, including pharmacologists, neuroscientists, medicinal chemists, toxinologists, structural biologists and clinicians. Version 2.0 of the database increases its utility by including many new features, a large increase in the number of curated protein and nucleic acid sequences and the most up-to-date information available on proteinaceous spider toxins.

We at Northwest Documentary believe that like all people, all nonprofits have a story to tell. When this story is told in a compelling fashion, an organization can better articulate its mission, demonstrate the need for its services, and celebrate its impact in the community. A well-told story expands the reach of an organization by bringing a cogent message to yet undiscovered funders and advocates.
That's why we developed a program we call reach360.
It's simple really – we want to help more nonprofits help more people.
Digital media is the predominant way people gather and share information today; however, most nonprofits are not in a position to create high-quality digital media in-house. Purchasing equipment and training or hiring staff to develop media is simply cost-prohibitive for many nonprofits, as is finding an outside company to do the work.
That's where we come in.
As experienced storytellers, we use the power of digital media to tell human stories. We help put a face and a voice and a message to community issues that are often abstract, complex, and underrepresented. The reach360 program enables us to partner with fellow nonprofits and use our talent and expertise to help them express what they do, why they do it, and why it matters.
In 2014, the program's inaugural year, we collected oral histories for the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center, traveled around the state documenting local food initiatives for Meyer Memorial Trust and created a powerful video for Lions VisionGift which you can see below. Our Vimeo Channel features multiple Reach 360 project videos.
If you're a nonprofit in the Portland area who could benefit from this program, drop us a line at email@example.com, we'd love to hear from you.
