GoPro Squeezes In 6 Cameras In The 360-Degree 5.2K Fusion Camera
It looks like that 2017 will be the year of 360 cameras. There is the Samsung Gear 360 and the Nikon KeyMission 360 already released, and Facebook also announced their Surround 360 x24 and x6. GoPro will be jumping into this segment late this year with their 5.2K Camera called GoPro Fusion.
Yes, you read it right. It's not just 4K resolution, it is 5.2K and that goes over the existing offerings from its competitors.
The GoPro Fusion does VR and Non-VR videos and photos whilst it avoids using the term "360 degree" like the other companies' offerings. Instead it use the term "Overcapture" as explained by Jess Foley, GoPro Senior Product Manager of Spherical Solutions:
Imagine never having to worry about framing your subject…ever. Yes, cameras do the heavy lifting already, but it still takes the eye to compose a shot, right? Well, thanks to Fusion, our users will be able to record their moments in all directions and then go back and choose the composition they want. This is referred to as OverCapture or reframing. It's like having a camera team with you when you shoot capturing your primary and b-roll footage. From there, you have the flexibility in post-production to pick and share all sides of your story in conventional HD
Thus, if the user does not intend to create VR footage, using OverCapture shows the different angles that the user can create regular high definition videos, showing the story at different angles. If I got this right, an airsoft YouTuber may not necessarily need different action cams mounted in different directions to capture airsoft action footages at different angles or points of view. Instead, using the GoPro Fusion, he/she can get these different angles with just one mounted device although the airsofter may look like a Teletubby wearing a spherical device on top of the helmet.
It may look good for other sports, airsofters and other shooters may still need to have another action cam mounted on their guns as the angle of them shooting (showing them looking through the sight or optic) is another perspective that an spherical camera will not be able to provide.
Still, being the king of Action Cameras, the GoPro Fusion will find airsofters who want to capture the airsoft action in VR, 360, or HD. It can also help game organisers show their game sites in 360 allowing their customers to see the different layouts of the game site online using the VR option.
GoPro are having a pilot program for the Fusion, where they will allow brands, agencies and content makers to create content with the Fusion, trying all the possibilities that can be done with it. If you are interested, you can apply to become part of the pilot.

Header image malfunctioning
Hi everyone,
I have adapted a version of the Coraline theme, which I'm using here with eshop:
The header displays perfectly until you go into the product description- if you click Earrings in the menu, then click on the 'Happy Kitty studs' photo, this brings you to the product description post but for some reason the header displays the product image instead of the usual 'Limecrafts' header. I can see in the html using firebug and firefox that the img src points to the wrong image, but I don't know where the html file is kept or if you can edit it with WordPress- a quick google told me that WordPress does not allow access to the html.
All advice welcome, as this is driving me nuts- I started with the 2010 theme altering the colours to suit, and had the same problem.
Many thanks,
- The topic 'Header image malfunctioning' is closed to new replies.

John Jota Leaños
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
John Jota Leaños is a socially conscious media artist, originally from Pomona, California. Through the use of strategic revealing, tactical disruption, and symbolic wagon burning, Leaños' work seduces viewers to penetrate the social barriers that surround personal identity, in order to explore difference as an unstable cultural construct. Leaños' animation, installation, public art, and performance fuse traditional art practices and aesthetics with new technologies and contemporary interpretations. He is nationally acclaimed for earning various prestigious awards and for his many contributions to Latin American and Latin@ cultural studies.
Personal life[edit]
Currently an Assistant Professor of Social Documentation at the University of California, Santa Cruz in the Department of Film and Digital Media, Leaños is a Creative Capital Foundation Grantee (2002)[1] who has received the 2012 Guggenheim Fellowship,[2] along with numerous other prestigious awards. Leaños' work has been shown at the Sundance 06 Film Festival, the 2002 Whitney Biennial in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Leaños' animated films have been shown internationally at festivals and museums including the Sundance 2010 Film Festival, Cannes Short Corner '07 in France, WILDsound Film Festival '08 in Toronto, San Francisco International Festival of Animation, along with other film festivals.[3] In response to the political censorship during the height of the "War on Terror", Leaños began working in musical and documentary animation as a tactic to diffuse political intolerance. Central to Leaños' art practice and cultural work lies the investigation of the documentary as a transformative discursive system where subaltern histories, untold stories and decolonial perspectives arise in fictional and non-fictional forms. Through the use of documentary animation Leaños has made vast contributions to media art in the United States and the globe. Leaños is director and author of the mariachi performance Imperial Silence: Una Ópera Muerta (A Dead Opera in Four Acts) in collaboration with choreographer Joel Valentín-Martínez and the Mariachi Ensemble Los Cuatro Vientos. This "dead opera" fuses dark-humored animation with Mexican baile folklórico, modern dance, traditional Mariachi music, hip-hop, and borderlands blues. From 2000 to 2004, Leaños was a part of artist collective Los Cybrids: La Raza Techno-Críitca, which critically engaged high technology from Latino perspectives. Their performance "El World Brain Disorder:surveillance.control.pendejismo" toured galleries and universities.[4] Of Mexican-Italian-American descent, he identifies as part of the mainly hybrid tribe of Mexitaliano Xicangringo Güeros called "Los Mixtupos". Leaños received his M.F.A. in Photography from San Francisco State University in 2000. He has taught as an artist-in-residence at Carnegie Mellon University in the Art Department (2003) and at the University of California, Santa Barbara, in the Center for Chicano Studies (2005–2006). Leaños was an Assistant Professor of Chicana/o Studies at Arizona State University 2003-07 and an Assistant Professor of Social Practices and Community Arts at the California College of the Arts 2007-09.[5]
Political Censorship[edit]
In 2004 Leaños created two pieces that expressed his account on U.S. censorship and the "War on Terror". In the following works Leaños' use of digital imaging express personal views of the U.S. occupation in Iraq:
Dead Conversations on Art and Politics[edit]
In this piece Leaños is having an imaginary conversation with 19th-century Mexican artist and illustrator, José Guadalupe Posada (1851–1913). In this "dead conversation" Leaños fills Posada in on the current U.S. war in Iraq. Leaños explains to Posada that the U.S. military has committed sexual abuse crimes against Iraqi prisoners from the Abu Ghraib prison. Leaños goes onto show Posada some of the few of many degrading photos that the U.S. government released in 2004 of the Iraqi prisoners.[6]
Intellectual Freedom and Pat Tillman[edit]
John Jota Leaños became the center of national controversy in October 2004 when he created a poster questioning the heroization of former football player Pat Tillman's death during his military service in Afghanistan. These are the comments of Leaños, assistant professor of Chicana/o art, before a forum on academic freedom at Arizona State University in early December. Leaños explains his piece on Tillman as "...a quiet piece. It is an emotional argument. It brings issues into question. It does not violently scream at you. It uses first person as an artistic strategy. It's a declaration from the dead."[7]
Decolonizing/Postcolonial space[edit]
One of the main themes of Leaños' works is decolonization. According to Anibal Quijano, decolonization refers to the undoing of colonialism, either culturally or politically. Leaños has been involved with mural making and public artwork in places such as San Francisco's Mission district, in order to reclaim the public space. One of the more notable mural Leaños was a part of was Resist the Dot Con, which was done in collaboration with the Galeria de la Raza.[8] Many of Leaños' writings about decolonizing space tries to answer the burdening question of how do art tactics of reclaiming space differ from more conservative groups who set out to reclaim their streets. He has also contributed immensely to the reclaiming of public space in marginalized communities that were taken over by the dot-com era.
Leaños is one of many Chicanos who have identified as xican@, a recent modification of the word chican@. José Cuellar describes Xican @ in his entry on "Chicanismo/Xicanism@" in The Oxford Encyclopedia of Mesoamerican Cultures:
is a contemporary extension of the 20th century Chicanismo that is ideologically rooted in the Chicana feminist "Mexic Amerindian" consciousness that rejects machismo, exclusionary ethnocentrism and nationalism while emphasizing our prehistoric tendencies toward interdependence and cooperation that transcends gender, class, race, and geographic boundaries. ..."Xicanism@" appears more frequently as an orthographically distinctive identifier and definer of the U.S. Mexican consciousness that is at more feminist, cultural guerilla, and more Amerindio than ever.
As a Xican@, Leanos strives to bring into light the varies social, political, and economic injustices that Chicanos face on a daily basis. One of the main differences Xican@s use to distinguish themselves from Chican@s, is that they do not claim to "'take back' the territory and rights that belong to 'us'", they argue that such a strategy ignores the hybrid cultures that all American urban spaces represent.[8] Much like Xican@s, their murals are a hybrid of Mexican-American working class aesthetics, culture and politics.

Second Scene
I finally finished drawing the second scene. It took me forever to figure out and remember what and where all the stuff is usually found and located in a Family Mart. Thanks to my lovely wife, Aram, I was able to get lots of reference photos for products and things inside of the store.
Next step is colouring it. I have a feeling this is going to take a while too. But once this layout is finished the rest will go much more quickly.

My log of recent brewing sessions.
I made a stand for my Phil Mill. It makes the milling process a bit easier.
Some pretty pictures of the chest freezer I turned into a kegerator. It holds six 5 gallon kegs and is big enough to accommodate a 1/2 barrel if I wanted to buy one.
I've written a description of my all grain brewing process. This is how I usually make beer when the weather is nice enough to work outside.
I also have a description of the process I use to make beer from malt extract and specialty grains. This is the method I used for the first four years I made beer. I still do things this way then the weather is not suitable for working outside.

Star Wars: The Rebels
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I liked the animation but..
... I found the message a bit ridiculous. The way you dedicated the flash to "the rebels" just seemed stupid. You could have saved it if you had referenced some real life rebels like the Zapatista or something but without that it just seemed like you were stretching out the flash for the sake of it.
"THIS IS NOT A COMMENTARY ON IRAQ. Do not confuse Rebels with Terrorist Insurgents. Think American Revolution 1770's"
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Who are you to say that their cause isn't as valid as the American revolution?
Personally I can't, except for one point as I see it,
American Revolutionaries - fight for democratic self rule for everyone
Iraq Insurgents - a very small group of previous leaders fighting to regain their political and religious hold over the population.
The Ricky Ray Show! Ep. 5
Rated 2 / 5 stars
I really don't get this
I mean, no question, it's well made and the animation is sound... but where the hell is the substance? There really is nothing to this series at all except "joke" after "joke" about breasts.
I hate to sound like a whiney bastard and it's my own fault really for even watching it this time but come on man, make some effort. You're just pandering to virgins and idiots with this drivel.
Parachute Guy
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I am pretty impressed
I was expecting it to be quite a bad flash and at first the really basic animation wasn't impressing me but I started to like it more and more as it went on.
The choices you made regarding "camera" angles and cuts were fairly spot on and there were some bits that made be really laugh.
The animation, as I'm sure you'll agree, is far from the best but there are some great little bits in there. I really loved when he started doing tricks on his metal shrapnel sky board thing.
Good work.

It was really tempting to give this all tens
But I don't like doing that.
Honestly though, it was fantastic. My favourite bit was definately the character designs for Jeff, Tom and Stamper though. You guys were looking pretty bad ass.
Loved the streetfighter style sound bites too. Great job.
One question though. Did Adam Phillips actually do anything or were you just taking the piss with the credits?
The Ambridge Mansion-Day1
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I remember this game...
you previewed it on the forums asking for advice on it. I can see you took some of the advice given to you but I couldn't play it then and I still can't.
I know theres a walkthrough now but if theres a game I can't complete on my own, I don't get an kind of satisfaction from beating it that way.
It's still a very well made gane tho and it deserves to be on the front page..... well done.

18 Close Up Review from Monica
Written by: Gillian
The Sparkle: Tour
Intimate shots of intimate parts – that's what you'll find at 18 Close Up. They are "dedicated to the anatomy of beautiful teens" – and you can bet they aren't talking about their kneecaps. They are 100% masturbation videos, and they promise real HD – 1920 x 1080 resolution. The pics on the tour are amazing, fantastic, beyond compare. It's like the sexiest anatomy lesson ever. I can't wait to see them in action!
The Decor: Layout
Inside the site you'll find a navigation menu offering Home, Models, Updates, and Bonus. Immediately below this is a large pic leading you to a New Model and her layout. Scrolling down there is a mesmerizing welcome sign, followed by a text-only list of updates going back to 2007. Continuing down the page, there are large size layouts of the most recent updates, and finally a longer menu offering Main, Upgrade, Home, Models, Updates, and FAQ/Contact.
The Gold: Content
There are now 2 video updates promised every week at 18 Close Up – it used to be a bit less frequent. So far there are over 50 videos on the site plus about 25 bonus videos, which pop up from time to time. In addition, there are pages and pages of older updates in the archives.
My but these girls are gorgeous. It's hard to know where to start! Each update offers videos in three sizes: HD 1920 x 1080, HDV 1280 x 720, and STD 640 x 360. In addition, there are screenshots available in zipped downloads, in both the HD and HDV sizes. You can click on the sample screenshots in the layout and they will expand up to 1280 x 720 pixels – enough to fill the screen with holy cow closeups. But to see the full set you'll need to use the zip download.
Do you have 3 minutes to spare? Because it'll take even less than that to download an HD video using a wireless cable modem. Awesome, right? Wait til you see the video you just downloaded. I don't have words. Natural sound, professional lighting, closeups like you've never seen – bigger than real life! Amazing, just amazing.
The Bling: Extras
The Bonus page has thumbnails of six different models, which link to their bonus clips. These are the same clips that are listed in the master updates list mentioned in the menu.
The Price: $$$
They feature a unique set of choices here – these memberships are for 30 days, recurring:
$29.90 for HD, HDV, and STD (standard) resolution access
$23.90 for HDV and STD resolution access only
$17.20 for STD resolution access only
For 120 days, non-recurring:
$79.80 for HD, HDV, and STD resolution access
The Rating: 10/10
If you like girls, and girls masturbating, you will love this site. HD that goes way way way above and beyond every other site out there.

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Get the facts about Marshall University grade calculators, and registering for elective lectures and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. You may be surprised that you can enroll for a full-time course load, without having to attend any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Marshall University grade curve information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Marshall University.
To keep your GPA as high as possible, study the schedule of classes carefully, and note the add/drop deadlines, as well as the requirements for changing a grade. If you get an incomplete, or worse a low grade, you can still retake the class, as some schools allow you to average the two grades on your final transcript. Challenge yourself by taking some courses outside your major to fulfill breadth requirements.
By purchasing lecture notes from a reputable source such as the student union, you can save time by not taking notes in class, and concentrate on paying better attention. You also can audit courses that you're interested in, but would prefer to skip exams and just listen in. Beyond degree requirements such as Marshall University class registration, you may consider University of Stirling part-time classes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Filing Bankruptcy is the hard way out.
If you debt is high, you should consider all the ramifications of filing.
First, Is it worth it. The cost is usually starts around $3000 and can be up to 15% of the total debt. . Some debt can't be taken care of in Bankruptcy, i.e. School loans.
A bankruptcy will stay on your report up to 11 years depending on which state you live in.
You chances of qualifing for a new loan after the bankruptcy greatly decrease for at least a few years after filing.
I would suggest that you do a little more research and talk with a credit counselor before taking that step. Never approach a bankruptcy attorney for advice about filing. His job is to get into court and rack up fees so they will always advise filing. I spoke with one gal that was advised by an attorney to file. It cost her $3800 to get rid of $2000 worth of Credit debt and still left her with $50,000 worth of school loans that he did not tell her could not be discharged.

Okay, I have no idea what is going on and why two posts I have started are locked. I only come on here once a day and to find one gone and the other one locked is really confusing. I have no desire to continue any closed or locked threads, but when a moderator does so, there really should be a system in which they notify the person who started it why they did so.
If this post http://abw.infopop.cc/eve/ubb.x?a=tp...9&m=7801015711 was in regards to my thread, I'd SURE LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I SAID THAT CAUSED IT TO BE CLOSED!!! Because quiet frankly I thought it was a subject we could openly talk about here and the intitial comments I saw being posted were all good and even some some praise there for "you know whos" work on "you know what".
So, if one of you moderators would kindly PM me and let me know what happened I would greatly appreciate it. I don't want details, just a simply explanation.
December 26th, 2004, 12:03 AM #2
Wouldn't a simple solution be that when a moderator locks a thread, that he/she adds a final post briefly explaining the reason for the lock to avoid this confusion in the future?
December 26th, 2004, 03:43 AM #3
I think the answer to your question... is simple...
A post was made about the idea being dropped...
that was suppose to be the end of the discussion... (hence the tread being locked) but you and others refuse to move on...
so each subsuquent tread has been lock when it is come upon by a moderator...
YES, in theary this is a place to voice our views.. about things associated to affiliate marketing....
However some here have real thin skin, some are easyly offended, others have no tolrence for issues being beaten to death... over and over (me)
I believe this is the case here.. the issue is dead and some are still wanting to beat on this dead horse, hoping, I guess to keep it alive...
this is silly as it's DEAD!
that's my2cents, 'cuz I'm a legend in my own mind....

Judging by the number of people wanting to continue to make comments about it, I don't think it was the end of the discussion. I think it's probably better to let the discussion run its course, then lock it. (Of course that is Haiko's choice.) I think most people here missed the announcement and don't even realize TrueTracker.com is now officially dead. (I know I saw the first locked thread before I went searching for the announcement.)
Considering the vested interest (not investment) that the affiliate community had in TrueTracker.com, I think it's certainly a relevant and on-topic discussion to have. I think there's a lot of "where can we go from here" discussions that could be productive.
There are many "dead horse" threads here on ABW. They're relatively easy to just ignore.
Locking down the thread stinks of heavy-handed moderation to me. (And that's certainly within Haiko's rights--it's his board.) There's nothing off-topic about the discussion--just some potential embarassment about Haiko's failed venture. Personally, I don't think there's any reason to be embarassed. He tried, he invested a considerable amount of time and money in it, and it was more involved than he expected. Some of us have made similar mistakes. Those who haven't should go make similar mistakes themselves--there's much to learn from mistakes.

I agree that Haiko has nothing to be embarrassed about, and he doesn't deserve any grief over his issue either. I wouldn't even call it a failure. He had an idea, and he tried to do something about it. The only way he could have failed is if he just kept the idea to himself and forgotten about it. This whole thing reminds me of what Thomas Edison said when asked how he felt about "failing" 10000 times before finally inventing the light bulb. Edison replied, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Haiko tried to do something big, huge really. Some of the posts I read in one of the locked threads I found looked like some people were giving him grief over this whole thing. He doesn't deserve that. He tried to do something. Something, bigger than I've ever tried to do. And I think he should be applauded, if for nothing else than for taking a chance.
December 26th, 2004, 08:50 AM #6
Well, before this gets locked down...I want to clarify (and this has nothing to do with Haiko's affiliate program, but with the way this has all been handled).

quote:
 I think most people here missed the announcement

That is exactly why I posted something! Haiko posted it in an obscure place and I even missed it until someone here sent me the link. I thought it should have been where everyone could have seen it and I neither said or implied anything negative in my post, only that I was sad it did not ever come to be. I even said it had lots of potential! I have a dozen web sites that have potential and failed...and I would have done them all over again to get where I am today. This was not about failure as so many people are quick to try to point out.
In retrospect I just whish Haiko had posted it in a locked thread somewhere more obvious in a post where no one could have responded. A broadcast email, like he does for so many commercial programs, would have been better.
There are very few times I'm sorry I log on here and post something, but this certainly has been on of them!!!

The TT announcement should not dampen ABW's quest for some relief from the current abuses of the existing Network model. Trying to revamp the major networks with some magic wand to secure a base plan that breeds trust, level playing fields, assured prompt payments and value-add to shoppers and merchants has been an effort in feutility. Think ...herding cats!
Watching the affiliates over the years reminds me of the old time Jr High "slaughter ball games" with the referee being a drunk network guy with a whistle. All the neuances of emerging as a winner in those games apply here. Even to the point of the casual onlookers getting whacked with errant thrown balls.
Only formula for introducing a new network model has to start with finding a core value to build upon. Just like a snow man's base that core is rolled picking up mass to build a foundation the other parts can rely upon. Think of affiliates as resorceful taxi drivers without fare meters in their taxis. They only get paid for their transportation efforts based upon commission kickbacks from destination shop owners where passangers actual bought something.
Core of any new network idea can only be built upon exposing the merchant site's real conversion ratio to targeted referral traffic. All else will have no differentiating pull to entice high quality established affiliates transporting shopper traffic. The existing network model works well for the Mass transit Bus drivers picking up even the broke homeless and plopping them at various route stops playing a numbers game. It doesn't work well for the small taxi driver, unless the shop/Department store owner has a private entrance with VIP treatment for the shoppers arriving by personal transport.
Key elements:
Taxi driver must have a reasonable choice of destinations to drop off his focused shopper. If he/she knows upfront that merchant historically converts better then his competition then he can get more consistant commission kickbacks from that destination. Heck...the taxi driver can choose to transport only those interested in a specific product category, knowing up front the drop off point has the very best deals for them. It sure would be nice if the taxi driver carries shoppers to a Mall type destination know to convert better then other Mall sites due to quality of merchant offering there.
The taxi has to trust the merchant(s) will record and pay 100% of all dropped off shoppers purchases.
Merchant destination must not consistantly divert, or allow 3rd parties to entice the taxi's shoppers to non-commissionable sales.
Merchants must be guaranteed these VIP drop off shoppers weren't duped into arriving at the private back door entrance by some fleet taxi drivers playing the mass transit front door game. No way should they expect this special focused shopping group NOT be more inclined to buy then their general traffic.
Taxied shoppers should always be able to see and flag down a ride from these sales destination drivers rather then wait at Mass transit points.
All taxi drivers must be approved and licenced to use the private drop off entrances. They know they have to protect that license or just revert back to the mass Transit Bus driver job on the crowded WWW Highway full of road rage drivers.
All merchnats can choose to put in a private VIP entrance if they wish to cater to targeted shoppers more inclined to purchase. The draw back is those sales rung up cannot go unreported. They also cannot hide their conversion ratio from that of their competitors trying to fool the taxi drivers into dropping off more store foot traffic.
This is the Safe Haven Sales Network concept with the only weak spot being the procedure for licensing and monitoring the taxi drivers. SHN will have it's hands full trying to protect the merchants from Mass transit bus driver tricksters trying to stuff passangers through the VIP entrance posing as legit taxi drivers.Webmaster's... Mike and Charlie
"What have you done today to put real value into a referral click...from a shoppers viewpoint!"

For a community that was created to voice concerns and opinions, it sure does seem that a few people who do not want to discuss certain topics are awful quick to flex their powers to lock or remove threads, even if the majority of the community seems to want to discuss the issues.
ABW seems to be taking on the feel of a dictatorial state and not at all holding true to its original intent.
One day we get a long, sad message that someone is not going to be in business anymore and is relinquishing their moderator powers, the next day this person is flying around locking threads nilly willy.
Is this all about who has power and their ability to demonstrate this power?
This place is more of a soap opera than anything else.

@Ron: The issue was not the point of view you expressed in your post. As I stated in the post you linked to here, threads started to continue a discussion of a locked thread are not allowed on the boards. It's a pure TOS issue, although I never felt you were trying to intentionally violate the boards TOS. I could have done a couple of things with the thread. I could have locked it like I did the other one, deleted it, or moved it to moderation queue (which is what I did). I made the choice to move it to moderation queue for review by Haiko when he gets a chance not because of what you expressed in your post but because where the thread was heading by subsequent posters (which were turning to things not even related to TT). I would not be surprised if one of the reasons Haiko locked the announcement post was because of the very good potential for the thread turning into what the one your started was turning into Haiko. Haiko has always been open to accepting constructive criticism by members. The thread was turning into something that was not constructive nor productive.
To respond to some other points made here. I don't see anything to necessarily indicate that Haiko locking the original announcement has anything to do with any embarrassment on his part. Additionally as I stated in my post linked to by Ron here, the moderation that has been done is to reflect both the boards rules and what I interpreted Haiko's intentions to be when he locked the original announcement. As Administrator of this board that is his right. I try to perform moderation to reflect the rules he has set and what I feel are his wishes for how he wants his boards to run. I may not get it right all the time, but it's what I try to do.
Another reminder that I also mentioned in my post attempting to explain about the locked and moved threads (tried to hint at it nicely)....starting threads about moderation activities is also a TOS violation. The appropriate "system" is to bring up the issue to Haiko directly via email or pm or the moderator privately if you just have questions about what happened.
I will also respond to your PM Ron that you sent me I guess about the time you started this thread.

I agree, and great post btw.
And I would like to add - it was Haiko's business venture and he is not obligated to anyone here to either explain himself or have his personal business discussed. (and even though Haiko was the person, it was still a private venture)
Yes, this is a message board - but that does not give anyone here the right to pick apart a person's personal choices in their business dealings if they choose not to have it.
It would be like picking any person here and having a long thread about the merits and failures of said person's private business. If they choose not to have their private dealings discussed - then that is their choice.Ebudae

Thanks for the feedback here and your PM's. I responded back and I think we now see both sides of the picture.

MARK but this flea, and mark in this,How little that which thou deniest me is;It suck'd me first, and now sucks thee, And in this flea our two bloods mingled be.Thou know'st that this cannot be saidA sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead; Yet this enjoys before it woo, And pamper'd swells with one blood made of two; And this, alas ! is more than we would do.O stay, three lives in one flea spare,Where we almost, yea, more than married are.This flea is you and I, and thisOur marriage bed, and marriage temple is.Though parents grudge, and you, we're met,And cloister'd in these living walls of jet. Though use make you apt to kill me, Let not to that self-murder added be, And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.Cruel and sudden, hast thou sincePurpled thy nail in blood of innocence?Wherein could this flea guilty be,Except in that drop which it suck'd from thee?Yet thou triumph'st, and say'st that thouFind'stnot thyself nor me the weaker now.'Tistrue ; then learn how false fears be; Just so much honour, when thou yield'st to me, Will waste, as this flea's death took life from thee. 1633
DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soulesdeliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die. 1633

Anyone who operates a Oldsmobile knows that when it comes to maintaining their automobile only the absolute best replacement parts will do. While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Oldsmobile vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to maintain your car or truck. Oldsmobile vehicle drivers have grown accustomed to a certain level of reliability when driving their Cutlass Ciera around town. When your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera was born, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes a trusted name in their automobile.
Reducing harmful hydrocarbons and noxious gases that come from your car or truck depends on how well you maintain your engine and exhaust parts. Efficient combustion inside your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera engine depends greatly on your exhaust manifold, and its ability to funnel exhaust gas out of the cylinder head. Should you develop a leak in your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera exhaust manifold, then two negative side effects will result. First, some of the gases will not tumble as they should; lingering inside the exhaust manifold and interrupting your four-stroke cycle. Second, exhaust gas will escape before they can be cleaned by your catalytic converter; making the inside of your car smelly and filling it with carbon monoxide and noxious fumes.
Given all the hassles associated with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. Bring your Cutlass Ciera back to life with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Procuring new Oldsmobile parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the most superior original and aftermarket replacement Cutlass Ciera parts on the internet.

In promotion of their new 'Free Fly Knit shoes', Nike commissioned a handful of their workers to 'knit' a sneaker—live.
The act was a combination of advertisement and performance art as workers on Nanjing East Road, Shanghai prepared strips of green fabric upon a billboard of a bare foot. The campaign was to signify the sock-like quality effect of the new sneaker and was enacted during the week of the sneaker release.
The above video is time-lapsed, but the actual project took a day to complete between the three workers decked out in Nike attire. This advertisement is one of the most unique in Nike franchise history, demonstrating why they are the leaders in the industry. This project also marks a new point in creative sneaker advertisements.

MOTELX – 7º Edição do Festival Internacional de Cinema de Terror de Lisboa
(7th Edition Lisbon International Horror Film Festival)
Like a horror films lover, this year I can't afford to lose again Motelx. Every year I am bragging about going and I always ended up not going for some lame excuse. It is quite annoying from me and in the end I download the films and watch at home. But next week I promised myself to go there, live the true horror cinema at São Jorge amongst others horror spirits lovers like me.
So it will be my first time at the Motelx which I am quite excited! This year they have in the Cult of Living Masters, Tobe Hooper from the most known The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). A Retro was given to the Japanese Hideo Nakata better known for Ring (1998) and Dark Water (2002).
But I am going there to see some new and fresh films, which includes Byzantium the new film of Neil Jordan, most known for his work at Interview with a Vampire, which I have to say, I love a lot. I am a huge vampire lover including Bram Stoker's Dracula from Francis Ford Coppola. So I am hoping that Byzantium be able to give that good feeling about a great vampire's film again. (I have to say although I have nothing really strong against the Twilight films, they kind of made the vampires in some sort of fairy-tale thing… Too far away from the real vampire tales written and told ages ago).
I haven't decided yet what others films I wish to watch like I haven't seen all the trailers either.
Films featured on Room Service (main section from the festival) at Motelx that I have seen so far:
1st Edition - 2007
2nd Edition -2008
3rd Edition – 2009
- The Children (RU/2008)
It is an amusing film, but don't expect too much. It is just that kind of films where children are playing the devil role. At some point it might become annoying to watch.
-From Within (USA/2008)
Honestly, so boring that I don't even remember anymore.
-Martyrs (FRA/2008)
It is one of my top 5 films ever! I love it so much. It is in fact, a very physical emotion in a film. It was until present the only film that gave me the chills, I wanted to close my eyes like children do and stop watching.
4th Edition – 2010
-5150 Elm's Way (5150, Rue des Ormes - Canada/2009)
It may starts a little slow, but when you get engaged with the story, you can't stop watching, you just want to know where it ends… all that suffering, all that sacrifice.
-The Loved Ones (Australia, 2009)
Oh, I loved this one too! So amusing and entertaining, I love the twisted sense of being a couple and love that the main character has. It is almost so cute, although you feel all the frustration, anxiety, rage from everything he has been put through.
-Meat Grinder (Cheuat Gon Chim, Thailand/2009)
There is nothing of horror in this film, at least I didn't feel it in that way. Although the film has a great story and you get wrapped in everything that is happening. I felt it more like a drama than a horror film.
5th Edition – 2011
-Confessions (Kokuhaku, Japan/2010)
I loved the story of Confessions, you get the chance to see the same event from the eyes of all the main characters. This gives you so much different perspectives about each character and the story behind of each one.
-The Ward (USA/2010)
Well, I love John Carpenter, but I am not sure yet about this film. Maybe I was expecting a little bit more from the great Master, some horror and blood, instated I got a soft psychological thriller. I didn't fall in love this time. It is just a nice film.
6th Edition – 2012
And just a little update about my weekend. Sunday I went to Meo Outjazz, I really don't like Jazz, it is not my thing. But I am always trying to do new things and give them a chance... Well, not for me! LOL or I was just in a very boring and annoying day and everything started do bother me. So I went home after a while.
Oh well, maybe another time!
I just sat there and watched the little lake with the ducks... instead of getting involved in all the chaos behind me, which was the place where the festival was.

I hate to "let the cat out of the bag" or "turn you off," but I "smell a rat" and I would like to "spill the beans" and "bend over backwards" to let you know that there is, what I call, a Secret Society of Idioms.
You don't have to pay for membership or take an oath to join, but if you receive an invitation to this society, you might have the key for entry. Many of children with various language isms have not received an invitation or, better yet, the key for entry into understanding idioms.
What is an Idiom?
What is an idiom? It's a set expression of two or more words that means something other than the literal meaning of its individual words. Idioms are very much like the phrases in quotations above. We use idioms so much during the day that we don't really think about it. We, as family or friends of individuals with various isms, need to consider these idioms throughout the day and use idioms as a teaching tool.
However, we have to provide this "invitation" with a key to open the door to this Secret Society of Idioms. Many children with language isms tend to be very concrete or visual thinkers. You can imagine how the use of idioms can be confusing and sometimes downright strange.
Confusing Idioms
One day in my classroom, someone came in from outside and declared, "It's raining cats and dogs out there!" A student sprang out of his chair and ran to the window and stated, "I only see rain."
Another mom shared that she was viewing a bakery counter full of goodies and told her son, "That cookie has your name written all over it." The child looked curiously into the bakery window and turned to his mom and said, "I don't see my name written on any of the cookies."
I've asked students to "take a seat" only to turn around and see them carrying a chair instead of sitting down.
I am sure you can think of other examples of times when idioms or figures of speech have caused confusion in your child's life. Sometimes, I have to google-search phrases that I have heard in order to understand the background or history of the saying.
Immersion Unlocks the Door
Some experts warn against using idioms when talking with children who are concrete thinkers. However, I believe that not exposing children to idioms can be a disservice to them. After all, children will be exposed to them at school and in the community. We should take opportunities to use idioms and then provide the "key" by explaining them.
You might not want to start this at a preschool level. However, whenever you feel your child is ready, use an idiom here and there and explain it at your child's level. Some idioms are very easy to teach to a visual or concrete learner and some are more challenging. Start with idioms that are easier so that your child might like this game of learning something fun. Consider it a secret language.
Ideas to Learn about Idioms
On the Web
I recently found a website that has a game called Paint by Idioms. The child chooses a theme and then an idiom is listed. Several answers are given. If the child clicks on the correct answer, then a little bit of a cartoon character is colored. The child continues learning various idioms until the cartoon character is fully colored.
Idioms and their Origins offers 111 famous phrases. Discover more in the widget below.
Another way to teach idioms is by obtaining books written specifically for children which explain idioms. You'd be surprised how many of those are readily available. Below you will find a few of my favorites.
Order one or two of these book and bring it to the dinner able each night. Select one idiom and discuss it as a family. Parents, you may just discover a new idiom or three that you did not know about!
Back to Immersion
Personally, I think the optimal way is to immerse children in learning about idioms. Have those close to your child simply use idioms as they normally would and just take a moment to explain why we use that saying.
For example, if your child can't sit still, say, "You've got ants in your pants," and then explain exactly what that means.
If your child has more questions about understanding the specific figure of speech, you may have to draw pictures to help him visualize the saying. Create an idiom notebook to have on hand for such occasions.
By teaching your child idioms you are providing him with the key to understanding idioms. Teaching understanding will help your child in future conversations. He will no longer feel left out of the "secret society" as he will have the key!

Calculate interface curvature in interFoam
Hi there,
actually I'm solving two phase flows with MRFInterFoam (OF 2.1.1) in a single rotating cylinder, which is half filled with a fluid.
I would like to calculate the resulting capillary pressure, which is connected with the interface curvature. Andrea allready wrote a script for calculating the curvature, but it seems not to work.
Does anybody have a idea?
I've found that, if I add the following code to controlDict, I can extract the curvature to vtk and ascii format for a defined patch. So I can extract the coordinates in x and y.
If cyclic boundaries are involved, isoSurface has to be changed to isoSurfaceCell, but it isn't possible anymore to extract the surface for a defined patch.
But it is still possible to add a contour filter (alpha=0.5) and slice filter to the model in paraView. The coordinates can easily exported as *.csv.

Is America seeking a confrontational approach with North Korea?
SEOUL, South Korea – As America's top diplomat, the newly anointed Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson faces a grave challenges – in putting forward U.S. President Donald Trump's strategy to deal with an increasingly threatening nuclear North Korea.
While he was expected to reassure allies in the region, he will, at the same time have to put forward a strong statement to deter the threat from Pyongyang.
In what came as one of the clearest signal so far from the Trump administration, Tillerson said on Friday that "all options are on the table" to deter the threat from Pyongyang, indicating that America might consider taking military action against the reclusive nation.
The message comes even as South Korea deals with trouble in its political regime due to the corruption scandal that saw its impeached President being ousted and China locks horns with the unpredictable Trump administration.
Meanwhile, tensions continue to increase on the already volatile Korean peninsula as North Korea paces ahead with its nuclear ambitions. Over the last two years, Pyongyang has made its plans of building a missile that could reach the United States more obvious with regular missile tests, some even threatening Japan, and its old rival and neighbor South Korea.
Further, the decision by South Korea and the U.S., to deploy the controversial THAAD anti-missile system has ignited more fury in China – that believes the sophistical system can peek into its territories.
Now, Tillerson has ruled out diplomatic talks - leaving the door open to military action, that is bound to fuel fears in the region that the Trump administration is seriously considering a confrontational approach in dealing with the Kim Jong Un-led regime.
Addressing a news conference in Seoul, alongside the South Korean foreign minister, Yun Byung-se, Tillerson said, "Let me be very clear: the policy of strategic patience has ended," taking a dig at the policy adopted by the Obama administration of trying to wait North Korea out and hoping that sanctions would prove crippling, leaving Pyongyang with no choice but to return to de-nuclearization negotiations.
Tillerson clarified, "We're exploring a new range of diplomatic, security and economic measures. All options are on the table," adding that while the U.S. did not want military conflict, threats "would be met with an appropriate response."
He added, "If they elevate the threat of their weapons program to a level that we believe requires action, that option is on the table."
Further, Yun too suggested that South Korea would support military options.
He said, "We have various policy methods available. If imposing diplomatic pressure is a building, military deterrence would be one of the pillars of this building. We plan to have all relevant nations work together more closely than in the past and make sure that North Korea, feeling pain for its wrongdoings, changes its strategy."
This is one of the first statements made by Washington – after Kim Jong Un said earlier this year that the country is close to completing work on an intercontinental ballistic missile that can reach the United States and Trump wrote it off, claiming, "It won't happen."
Tillerson, who kicked off his first visit to Asia after assuming office, held a meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo on Thursday.
There, he said that the escalating threat from North Korea's nuclear program showed a clear need for a "new approach."
He however did not detail the steps that the Trump administration would pursue to deal with the said threat.
In the joint news conference, Tillerson even repeated Trump's campaign message that U.S. allies, including Japan, should pay more for hosting U.S. forces and other elements of U.S. protection.
However, Tillerson's message was much milder. He underscored the "long-standing" U.S.-Japanese alliance and said, "While the security environment in this region can be challenging, the United States is committed to strengthening our role, and we welcome an increased Japanese commitment to their roles and responsibilities in our alliance."
He noted that two decades of diplomatic and other efforts, including aid given to North Korea by the United States, had failed to achieve the goal of denuclearizing Pyongyang.
Adding, "So we have 20 years of failed approach. That includes a period where the United States has provided $1.35 billion in assistance to North Korea as an encouragement to take a different pathway. In the face of this ever-escalating threat, it is clear that a different approach is required. Part of the purpose of my visit to the region is to exchange views on a new approach."
Tillerson has also repeated Trump's statements claiming that China could do more to pressurize North Korea.
The Secretary of State will head to Beijing on Saturday, where he is expected to urge the government to pressure North Korea and will also discuss other issues, including the conflict related to South China Sea.

Politicians around the world are rightly condemning the recent suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria that killed dozens of civilians, including children ? even if their finger pointing at President Bashar al-Assad lacks conclusive evidence to support their confident accusations.
By: Carey Wedler/ANTIMEDIA Politicians around the world are rightly condemning the recent suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria that killed dozens of civilians, including children ? even if their finger pointing at President Bashar al-Assad lacks conclusive evidence to support their confident accusations.
Of course, these allegations ignore previous evidence that Syrian rebels were responsible for the attack ? arguably rebels the West has made a habit of empowering over the years.
Regardless of who was responsible for the gruesome attack, however, the politicians condemning the carnage most vehemently have little ground to stand on considering their perceived authority stems from a government guilty of using chemical weapons.
The use of chemical and biological weapons in warfare was banned after World War I ? a prohibition that was reaffirmed in 1972 and again in 1993. Tear gas, which is recognized as a chemical weapon, was included in the 1993 ban, but the final agreement allowed governments to use it domestically for riot control.
American police have used it to suppress protests for decades. Though the vast majority of protesters at the Dakota Access Pipeline demonstrations in Standing Rock, North Dakota, were peaceful, law enforcement sprayed them with the chemical weapon, anyway. Though tear gas is a relatively mild chemical weapon compared to sarin gas, it can cause severe adverse health effects. A reputed U.N. lawyer forcefully condemned?its use, along with other heavy-handed police tactics. Few American lawmakers came to their defense.
U.S. law enforcement also deployed tear gas against black civil rights protesters in the 1960s and officers have?continued to do so at protests against police brutality in recent years. But the government has used far worse chemical weapons than tear gas.
The United States military used Agent Orange to destroy the opposition in its ill-fated war against Vietnam (it also used napalm extensively, a chemical that, when mixed with gasoline and bombs, amplifies explosions and poisons the air).
?U.S. planes sprayed some 11 million to 13 million gallons of Agent Orange in Vietnam between January 1965 and April 1970? to destroy foliage the Vietcong used for cover,?History.com has noted. To this day, Vietnamese individuals suffer the consequences of the United States? weaponization of the chemical herbicide and defoliant.?Between 2.1 and 4.5 million Vietnamese lived in regions sprayed with the chemical, and its remnants remain in the soil.One of the active ingredients,
One of the active ingredients, dioxin, ?has been shown to be highly toxic even in minute doses; human exposure to the chemical could be associated with serious health issues such as muscular dysfunction, inflammation, birth defects, nervous system disorders and even the development of various cancers.?Though some might dispute the notion that Agent Orange, supplied to the U.S. military by
Though some might dispute the notion that Agent Orange, supplied to the U.S. military by Monsanto, Dow Chemical, and other corporations, is actually a chemical weapon, there is little technical doubt. Both herbicides and defoliants are considered chemicals, meaning?when they are intentionally used in warfare, they are chemical weapons. Perhaps the biggest difference between the two chemicals is that nerve gas kills victims almost immediately whereas Agent Orange often leads to diseases that take lives over time.According to Vietnamese officials, Agent Orange has
According to Vietnamese officials, Agent Orange has?killed or maimed as many as 400,000 people.
Further, a 2001 study that investigated the effects of Agent Orange on the reproductive systems of Vietnamese women described the use of the toxic herbicide as ?chemical warfare? that had dire effects, including miscarriages, premature births, and ?congenital malformations or developed disabilities within the first years of life? among ? of babies born to parents exposed to it.
To this day, the U.S. military is paying out settlements to thousands of veterans who were negatively affected by the chemical and, like Vietnamese parents, passed the damage down to their children. The military?s own website acknowledges Agent Orange may be responsible for various cancers, including Leukemia, as well Parkinson?s disease, heart disease, and birth defects in offspring.
Unsurprisingly, when the chemical weapons ban was reaffirmed in 1972, the United States insisted that herbicides should not be included and that their use did not constitute chemical warfare.
In the 1980s, the CIA reportedly?knew Saddam Hussein was using chemical weapons in his U.S.-backed war with Iran. But the U.S. government did nothing to stop him ? in one instance, they helped advance an attack against Iran knowing Hussein was using banned sarin and mustard as weaponry.
The United States is not the only Western power that has employed treacherous chemical weapons in warfare. As The Guardian has pointed out, Great Britain also unleashed them in their fight against the Bolsheviks in World War I and in Gaza in 1917. Historical hero Winston Churchill also insisted on using them against ?rebellious? tribes in India. ?I am strongly in favor of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes,? he?said in a secret memo. France and Germany also used nonlethal chemical weapons in World War I ? around the same time Western colonial powers were seeking to dominate and partition the Middle East, including Syria.
The West is now categorically condemning the chemical attack in Syria.
Notably, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also quickly denounced the recent chemical attack in Syria, saying, ?When I saw pictures of babies suffocating from a chemical attack in Syria, I was shocked and outraged. There?s no, none, no excuse whatsoever for the deliberate attacks on civilians and on children, especially with cruel and outlawed chemical weapons.?
Conveniently absent from his condemnation was any acknowledgment that the Israeli government has used chemical weapons. In 2009, a Human Rights Watch report declared ?Israel had knowingly released white phosphorus on civilian populations in Gaza. As the Guardian summarized:
?In a 71-page report, the rights group said the repeated use of air-burst white phosphorus artillery shells in populated areas of Gaza was not incidental or accidental but revealed ?a pattern or policy of conduct.??
The Israel government initially denied using chemical weapons, only to later admit they had. They asserted they were used in accordance with international law and had not targeted civilians.
Regardless, as the media continues to direct its hysteria at the Syrians tragically suffering in Syria, politicians are aiming to claim the moral high ground ? if not blame Assad without conclusive evidence ? cobbling together a strategy to push for his removal from power. Though last week the Trump administration said regime-change in Syria would no longer be a U.S. foreign policy goal, following the attack on Tuesday the president said his??attitude toward Assad and Syria has changed very much.? He has not indicated whether he intends to impose more military force.
As this feeding frenzy wears on, beware moral grandstanders in public office who will undoubtedly neglect to acknowledge the carnage their own government?s chemical weapons have imposed on civilians over the course of the last century, all while they continue to advocate further war and intervention in 2017.
Indeed, bombs kill civilians just as easily as chemical weapons do, and while Western politicians may neglect their own countries? histories to condemn their political opponents, their own bombs are wiping out civilians just as easily as sarin gas.
