Money, Our Constant Companion
by Staff Reporter on 05/02/13 at 1:30 pm
No comments
Money and humans are inseparable. Often there is a shortage but what there is has to be secured. Cash handling systems touch lives around every corner, but in general these systems are taken for granted and are seldom thought about (except for the vast majority of people that handle or recycle cash). Consumers will pay money into a parking machine, use an ATM, deposit cash into the bank or have an evening of entertainment at the casino – resulting in all those in the retail, banking or gaming industries having to handle and secure large amounts of cash.
There are various risks involved in handling cash. Apart from the obvious physical security risk, other challenges facing these industries include shrinkages, shortages and money disappearing, especially with the long working hours in retail. The onus is on the business owner or management to safeguard employees and the money. If the process of money flow is considered – money is handed to a teller or cashier who transports it to a back office where it is counted and reconciled, after which it is transported to the bank, counted and reconciled again – it is easy to identify the various points of risk throughout the system. Recycling of money brings about more problems, especially with regards to float management in businesses where large amounts of cashiers need change.
When cash in transit is added to the complicated process, the risks are escalated. In the OSAC Crime and Safety Report for Johannesburg, Americans are warned about crime concerns that dominate the environment in South Africa. Crimes are described as violent and confrontational and are listed as home invasion robberies, burglaries, car-jacking's, organised attacks on commercial and retail centers (shopping malls and outlets) and attacks on cash-in-transit vehicles and personnel.
To combat the high crime rates, technologies have been developed to secure and handle money. The cash acceptor solution is a solution whereby the cashier deposits money into a system which counts, reconciles and verifies the notes. It allocates a value to the deposit and deposits it into a drop safe, while checking for counterfeit or distained notes. Dye stained notes occur when a cross pavement carrier is tampered with. It features a dye stain mechanism which will permanently stain the money in the case of a robbery. In terms of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act of 1998, it is an offence to retain or use the proceeds of unlawful activities. A banknote which has been stained under uncontrolled circumstances is most likely the proceeds of crime and it will be an offence for the bank to give value for uncontrolled dye-stained banknotes.
Once the deposit has been made, the system will communicate with the web server and reports can be drawn containing data, such as who handled the money. Once deposited, the money is safe as only the cash in transit unit will have a key to the safe. The retailer therefore has full control over the money and visibility of the flow of the money with full reporting.
Another system, the banknote recycler, counts and verifies the money and deposits it into a system which can also pay out. A deposit can be split into what is to be fetched for banking or recycled, while input and output is reconciled, as with an ATM. The technologies are customised according to the needs of the customer, which differ from region to region. For instance, in the Eastern Cape very high cash volumes are handled, while Gauteng spend is primarily through card transactions. The quality of the money also differs from region to region and the sensitivity of the recognition software has to be adjusted accordingly. In rural areas notes are recycled much more before being banked than in cities; therefore the quality of the money deteriorates at a faster rate. The quality of the cash handling system should be greater the worse the quality of the notes is. The area will therefore determine the cash problem and the solution required.
Henry van Bosch from Global Payment Technologies, a Bidvest company, points out that the Glory Recycling System accepts multi-currency notes, automatically verifies the notes and has a serial number reading function. "It has been proven that the use of these technologies, whether a deposit machine or a recycler, reduces losses and counterfeit exposure. The CDS Obolus-C Solution for retail, for instance, is a cash deposit system by which an operator can identify himself with either a user name and password or a personal card. Tracking of every transaction is therefore guaranteed. Another solution is the NomiMax 9100, which operates almost as a full ATM, offering bill payments, fund transfers, balance enquiries, mobile phone top-ups and mini statements. It can also assist with insurance and loan approvals; a full self-service solution".
There is much talk about a cashless society and other technologies that will replace cash and credit cards such as e-wallets, but while money is still making the world go round, it is important to streamline processes, increase efficiency and secure the funds as far as possible.
Global Payment Technologies (GPT), one of the 9 divisions of The Bidvest Group, is a JSE listed company with over 104,000 employees. GPT's core business since inception in 1997 is focused around secure electronic payments and cash processing solutions for the banking, gaming and retail sectors.

Robots Work, Human Beings Perform
"Robots work, human beings perform" was an idea proposed by the American psychologist and writer Tim Leary. He meant that it was an insult for any human being to be forced to do a job that can be done better by a machine.
Looking at the trend of technological unemployment and the suffering as a result of that, it seems that we are more than ready to push forward a technological revolution on a global scale that will improve the lives of mankind.
Aspiring towards this new paradigm, many futurists and social activists such as Jacque Fresco, the founder of The Venus Project have proposed a global redesign of our economic, social and cultural systems to a holistic, collaborative and sustainable system that meet the needs of all people and not just a selected few.
Imagine a world where all repetitious, monotonous, boring and dangerous jobs and labor, that wastes human talent, creativity and ingenuity, were fully and deliberately automated by machines, so that human beings could do what they really want to do and focus on whats really important to our happiness and our very survival.
The question remains. Are we ready for a new paradigm, a technological revolution that will improve our lives many times over, meet the needs of mankind that will truly liberate us from the shackles of our current outdated socioeconomic system?

Oct 10 2012: At the level of the basic unit, the fetch-execute cycle, computers (robots have brains which are computers) are open-loop devices. The other term which is similar to open-loop is 'feedforward'. They just do stuff, and dont worry about the consequences. Humans and animals use the closed-loop principle at the basic unit level. Some people (Clark Hull, Nikolaas Tinbergen) call this 'drive-based', but the term that is used most these days is 'feedback'. These basic units do stuff too, but they are concerned about the consequences - they sense the effects of their actions, which are 'fed back', usually in order to self-regulate these actions, ie maintain homeostasis. Sometimes they are used for 'positive feedback' - a cascade, eg a sneeze, an orgasm, cell mitosis/meiosis, neuron action impulse. These two systems are not dissimilar- in fact, a feedback cycle is just a feedforward link (eg an amplifier, a neural network -really any function block) with a feedback circuit added on.
Computers do have feedback circuits, but not at the hardware data level. We program them in at the software level - sometimes. As in other areas of mathematics, we have discrete (integral) types and analog (continuous) types. a discrete type of feedback is the IF-THEN loop. The IF condition is a switch- it uses fresh 'outside' (its own level) information to select which 'inside' procedural path to take. Therefore, using feedback produces computing units that are self-regulating, but also self-indeterminate. They rely on information in other units to achieve completion.
However, the basic criticism of the 'von Neumann bottleneck' remains- every bit of data must pass through a narrow feedforward funnel; very, very, very fast. To use feedback to regulate and correct these data, eg at the software level, involves introducing indeterminacy, and slows the whole machine down. Turns and roundabouts. To make an intelligent computer means mastering these two systems -feedforward vs feedback.

Apply to extend your visit to Sweden
If you are in Sweden on a visit and would like to stay longer than the time for which you have been granted a visa, you must apply for a residence permit for a visit. This applies even to those who do not need a visa and want to stay longer than 90 days.
How to apply
An application for a residence permit for a visit must be submitted personally at any of our Permit Units. You must book anappointment in advance. If you are invited to Sweden to visit relatives or friends, the person who invited you must accompany you and be able to identify himself or herself. You also need to bring your original passport.
Enclose the following documents with your application:
- The form Application for visitor's permit, No 165011. For children under 18, you must use the form Application for visitor's permit for a child under the age of 18, No. 167011.
- The form Family details — Appendix to your application, No. 239011.
- An account statement or other document showing that you have money for your subsistence during the time you plan to stay in Sweden. If someone else is paying for your support, that person´s income information/assets must be verified.
- A return ticket or sufficient funds to procure one.
- The application fee for a permit is 1000 SEK for adults and 500 SEK for children. You will not receive a refund if your application is rejected. The fees are paid in connection with your submitting an application. You can only pay by credit card.
Once we have received your application
Those who receive a residence permit will be given a residence permit card. The card is proof of your residence permit.
You will need to visit one of the Swedish Migration Board´s Permit Units to submit fingerprints and be photographed. This will usually take place when you submit your application in person. You can also be called to the Migration Board at a later date. You will also be called to the Migration Board if you send in your application by post.
Please note that you need to be photographed and submit your fingerprints even if you previously have had a residence permit card since your photo and fingerprints cannot be saved.
After the decision has been made
The decision will be sent to your address in Sweden. Your residence permit card will be sent to your address in Sweden within one week.
Important information about insurance
You will not be registered in Sweden, which means that you will not be eligible for social benefits. Make sure to have an insurance policy that will cover any costs that may arise in connection with illness, injury, etc.
Extending a visa
In certain cases, you can receive an extended visa if your total stay is less than 90 days. This is possible in the following cases:
Force majeure — for example re-booking of a flight owing to airline strike or extreme weather.
Humanitarian reasons — for example if you or a close relative who resides in Sweden has been taken seriously ill.
Compelling personal reasons — for example, issues of health care or a business visit.

Online Grocery Flyers from MyGroceryDeals.com
Published on - November 3rd, 2006 (by J.D. Roth)
I recently received e-mail from mygrocerydeals.com pitching their site:
We are a free service that allows consumers to go online, do their grocery pre-shopping based on advertised grocery flyer specials, look at nutritional information, create their shopping list, and then head out to their selected store(s) with list in hand. We have recently mapped 50,900 zip codes into our database and then lined up the grocery markets and local stores along 4,400 county lines to make a match. So members really do see the deals in stores in their neighborhood only.
I get a lot of e-mails pitching products and services. I ignore most of these. But mygrocerydeals.com could be useful to frugal geeks. I spent a couple of hours this evening exploring the site. It's new, and feels it, but it has a lot of promise.
The primary feature of mygrocerydeals.com is the ability to search all grocery flyers for a set of stores that you specify. You provide a zip code and designate preferred stores — the site combs its database for the current specials in your area. For example, if I want to see whether canned chili is on sale, I simply type 'chili' into a search box. Voila! My local Albertson's is selling Stagg chili at ten cans for $10. How about Bisquick, which is on our shopping list for tomorrow? Safeway has 40 oz. boxes on sale at two for $5.
(Kris watched me use this section. She was nonplused. "That's what I get flyers for," she said. "This takes the place of flyers," I told her. "You just type in 'Bisquick', and you can find out if it's on sale." "But I like looking through the flyer," she said. "I like seeing that bananas are on sale and saying to myself, 'Oh, I think I'll get some bananas.' This seems like it's too much work." While mygrocerydeals.com doesn't provide exactly the same experience as browsing a flyer, it is possible to "skim" the specials, browsing them in a way similar to how you'd use a paper flyer.)
As you locate interesting specials, you can add them to shopping lists. You can also use the list-maker to search for foods by category. Lists you create can be e-mailed, printed, or saved for future use.
Mygrocerydeals.com also features a coupon section, but it needs work. To use it, you must install a browser plugin. (On a Mac, this plugin does not work with Firefox — only Safari.) This makes me nervous. Nothing about mygrocerydeals.com actually caused any problems, but I'm distrustful of sites that ask me to install plugins. Once the coupon module has been installed, nearly 100 coupons are available. (Not a huge number, but worth looking.) But there's no way to search except by browsing the seemingly random collection. I suspect the coupon section will improve as the site matures.
Nutrition Info
My favorite section of the site is "Nutri-Know", a comprehensive database of nutrition information for food. I've tried a lot of different web sites to find nutrition information, and none are as complete as this. Again, though, it's not perfect. This section seems to be in development, too. Not every listed product includes nutrition information. (There's always a link for nutrition info, even if none is actually available.) If an item includes an image, it's much more likely to include nutritional information. I'll probably return to mygrocerydeals.com simply to use this feature!
The site features a "recipe corner" with "weekly ideas for thrifty chefs in a hurry". This is a fine idea, but the implementation is poor. Right now there are exactly three recipes: fiesta tacos, banana milk shakes, and brocco nachos. Each is sponsored by a manufacturer. This recipe area feels very incomplete. It would take very little effort to improve it.
I worried that mygrocerydeals.com was going to be a scammy, adware site. It's not.
We want all grocery shoppers to save time and money! Rest assured that the flyer deals are unbiased. We are not affiliated with any manufacturer or retailer. The flyer deal information is obtained independently with our own proprietary system. As a result of being independent, we rely on our users to be our eyes and ears. Users can contact us at anytime to provide suggestions, ideas, corrections or with just a question.
Mygrocerydeals.com has great potential. Even Business Week was impressed. It's a new site, still in development — there's hope that the weak spots will be improved.
Frugal shoppers may want to give this free service a whirl.
[Disclosure: I received no compensation for this review.]
If they made their coupons a PDF, I'd try it. I don't want to mess up my system though. Installing a plug-in is a pretty big deterrent.
Thanks for the tip! It's a really great site and I plan on using it.
On the nutrition-info-site count: Have you tried nutritiondata.com? I thought it was very comprehensive. It also includes a number of fast food options, in case you're feeling masochistic about just what's in them. (Disclosure: No affiliation w./ the site.)
Hmmmm … Just how much did you get paid for this puff piece?
I looked at mygrocerydeals.com and was disappointed. It and most other sites seem to be fronts for coupons.com — and want me to install crap software.
Does anyone know of a pleasant, simple, site where you can just get pdfs of gorcery coupons and print them out?
I really dislike sites that require some type of identification/login *before* you learn they are for residents of the USA only.
[...] online grocery flyers from mygrocerydeals.com. Want to learn what's on sale this week at your local grocery store? This site has the [...]
I run a website that aims to list the online sites of all grocers in the US and Canada. We're doing pretty good so far – lots of repeat visitors and no one complaining we haven't listed their local grocer!
If you click on your local grocer's name in the listing, often you can print out the specials as well as coupons specific to that store.
Another trick is to visit the sites of brands that you buy (i.e. Campbells, South Beach Diet, Morningstar Farms, Duncan Hines, etc…) and sign up for their mailing lists. They'll email you printable coupons and you can often print coupons from the site.
If you want to try out my listing of grocers, its at http://www.centsible.net/groceries.shtml

PHOTOS: Inside Berlusconi's Notorious Bunga Bunga Party
PROSECUTORS IN ITALY have released photographs found on cameras and laptops seized from guests attending the 'bunga bunga' parties thrown by Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.
The photos depict a number of guests at Berlusconi's infamous parties – including an Italian reality TV star – posing in revealing outfits, while other photographs show several women about to kiss.
Click here to see more photos >
All the photographs were taken, the Daily Telegraph says, in the early hours of the morning at Berlusconi's house in Ancore, near Milan.
The Daily Mail added that prosecutors claimed Berlusconi had "ridiculed" police, and "seriously offended" nurses, by having showgirls at the parties wear police and nurses' uniforms.
Attendees at the parties say Berlusconi boasted of having learned the phrase 'bunga bunga' – which is understood to refer to an after-dinner sex game – from currently under-fire Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
The photographs were seized as part of ongoing investigations into claims that Berlusconi hired a series of prostitutes – including 17-year-old Moroccan bellydancer Karima El Marhouq, known as 'Ruby Heartbreaker' – for entertainment at his parties.
Berlusconi has denied the allegations, insisting that at 74, he is "too old for that much sex".

GRAND RAPIDS (WKZO) -- While about half of Americans chose to sit out Black Friday retails madness, those who do files into stores mean a great deal to those businesses. Doctor Brian Long, a grand Valley State University economist, says that just a small jump in sales that stores would have gotten otherwise can mean the difference between winding up in the red or black.
Plus, Long tells us that a shopping holiday for Americans is a great idea that brings families togethe. For proof, he says one only need to look at all the mother daughter pairing to be found in stores on Black Friday.
Doctor Long says that you probably aren't really saving all that much on the whole by hitting the malls on Black Friday, but that doesn't stop millions of Americans from doing so.

Scottsdale, AZ (Sports Network) - Jeff Francis allowed two runs on three hits over seven innings of work to earn his first win of the spring and the Reds beat the Giants 10-2 in Cactus League action on Saturday.
Francis also helped his own cause with an RBI single in the seventh, while Scott Rolen and Todd Frazier knocked in two runs apiece for the Reds.
Joaquin Arias accounted for both Giants' runs with a two-run home run in the seventh inning. Jeremy Affeldt took the loss, yielding four runs -- two earned -- on five hits in just one inning of work.

TEAMS: Dallas Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware told GQ that he pondered retirement after suffering a serious neck injury back in 2009.
Ware admitted that he was scared and was worried about his future and his family.
"I was so scared. I started thinking about my family. I thought, 'I might have to give football up,'" Ware said. "I really thought I might have to retire, because I just couldn't imagine going through something so traumatic again."
Ware says the Saints tested him when he got back on the field.
"I went out there on the first third down of the game, and they ran the ball and hit me," Ware said. "Now, the Saints don't ever run the ball on third down. They did that to get me. And you know what? That ticked me off."
Ware said the Saints only fueled him and gave him more confidence.
"I was like, 'Oh, you guys want to try to hurt me again, don't you?' So then I told (then-coach Wade Phillips) to put me in on first downs. And then, second downs, too. And each play, I got more and more confidence about it."
There's no doubt Ware is one of the top pass rushers in the NFL and if he had retired three years ago, the Cowboys really wouldn't be the same now.

(WMC-TV) – Action News 5 is wearing red Friday, February 7, in recognition of National "Go Red for Women" Day.
We're hoping our red clothing will help raise awareness about women and heart disease, which is the number one killer of women, and is more deadly than all forms of cancer combined.
The Shelby County Health Department wants you to get involved by taking a picture in all of your red attire and then post them to the Department's Facebook and Twitter pages.
They are asking those of you that live in Memphis or Shelby County to use the hashtag #GoRedSCHD when you post your photo.

In the so-called "Federal Republic of Germany", Catholics ("sedevacantists") are brutally forced to approve that the heretical sect of "Vatican 2" with non-pope Ratzinger ("Benedict XVI.") is called the Roman-Catholic Church. Whoever confesses the Catholic faith must expect heavy punishment, ending in bankruptcy and imprisonment.

About the International Music Foundation
The International Music Foundation was founded in 1979 by Chicagoan Al Booth as the umbrella organization for two of his music projects: the Do-It-Yourself Messiah and the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concert series, both now cornerstones of the Chicago musical scene. In 1981, with the help of Yehudi Menuhin, the IMF added Live Music Now!, a concert series for children in the Chicago Public Schools.
The IMF's work has enhanced Chicago's cultural landscape for more than 30 years by making music available to everyone through free performances. This principle of accessibility has continued to guide the organization since the beginning, and we now present more than 500 concerts a year, all of them free.
Throughout the Foundation's history, it has used music to provide special opportunities:
- To up-and-coming young artists, through the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concert series;
- To many thousands of inner-city school children annually through Live Music Now!, an extensive music outreach network;
- And to the people of Chicago through the Do-It-Yourself Messiah.
Al Booth, Founder of the International Music Foundation
1916 - 2007
Al Booth was born in 1916 in Virginia, MN and spent most of his life in Chicago. He died on February 2, 2007 at age 90, leaving a rich musical legacy which the International Music Foundation will carry into the future.
During a stay in England, he participated in a sing-along Messiah, learned of the WW2 concerts organized by Myra Hess at the National Gallery in London, and decided that Chicago would benefit from both these musical ideas. He started Chicago's Do-It-Yourself Messiah at Orchestra Hall in 1976, followed the next year by the weekly Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts at the Cultural Center. Both programs have continued without interruption since their inception because of Al Booth's drive, wide audience support, and generous sponsors.
His belief that music should be accessible to everyone meant that every musical event he produced was free of charge to the public. In recognition of the gifts he had given the City and his dedication to the arts, he was honored by the City of Chicago at its Third Annual Toast to the Cultural Center. Later the same year, he was awarded Roosevelt University's Franklin Delano Roosevelt Humanitarian Award.
He will be remembered by hundreds for his generosity, his kindness, his caring for others, and his unbeatable sense of humor. He will be remembered by thousands for the musical gifts he gave to the City.

After Johnson's second consecutive Nextel Cup championship and the 33 races won in their six years with crew chief Chad Knaus, Johnson received from Hendrick Motorsports a life time contract. "I just offered it to him," Hendrick said. "It's a commitment. Jimmie and I talked about it, and Chad and I talked about it. You know, I want to do whatever I can do to keep it together. When you've got someone that you really enjoy being with and you see that they've got unlimited (...)
Johnson became the first driver to win consecutive championships since Jeff Gordon in 1997 and '98, wrapping up the title by finishing a trouble-free seventh in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Johnson said after Miami race: "I think that we have a lot of good years ahead of us and we'll be fighting for more championships and certainly winning more races as the years go by, and hopefully be a three-time champion in the near future." Team owner Rick Hendrick was along for the (...)
Kyle Busch's run of bad luck officially ended Saturday at Phoenix International Raceway. Busch followed his Friday night Truck Series win with a victory Saturday in the Busch Series, giving him a chance Sunday in the Nextel Cup event to become the first driver to sweep all three of NASCAR's national series at the same track on the same weekend. "I am not saying we will. I am not saying we won't," Busch said. "I am just saying we hope to. It would be a great honor to have (...)
Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon are quickly turning the Chase for the Nextel Cup championship into their own private duel. A two-tire stop for Johnson paid off with a victory Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway, making the Chase a virtual dead heat at the top between the reigning champion and his Hendrick Motorsports teammate and friend. Johnson and Gordon, who came into the Pep Boys Auto 500 separated by 53 points, both struggled with the handling on their Chevrolets most of the day. But, (...)
Jimmie Johnson won the race held at Martinsville Speedway, the track where Gordon has had more success than most anyone, allowing him to approach the leader, and giving him hope to win the title. Johnson made the pass he didn't allow Gordon to make in the spring, sneaking inside his Hendrick Motorsports teammate with 44 laps to go Sunday and holding on for his series-high seventh victory of the year and the 30th of his career. Newman challenged Gordon for second on Lap 492, getting (...)
Five races and the 2007 Nextel Cup Series is over. Four drivers are competing for the first place in the Drivers Championship. From now one they will treat every race like the last one of the championship. They are willing to fight until the last lap, until the last drop of fuel, and their team mates can represent an important advantage. The four drivers that are fighting for the title are: Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer and Tony Stewart. Jeff Gordon Driver Details Sponsor: (...)
Jeff Gordon won Saturday night's race held at Lowe's Motor Speedway after an exciting race with fuel problems for Gordon that made him think he would not finish the race. Despite all his concerns, Gordon made it to the finish line for his sixth win of the season, and staked his claim on the Nextel Cup title. After that incredible day for Gordon's team, Hendrick Motorsports, he declared: "We needed to get to the finish. We had such a hard time getting to the finish, whether we were (...)

Mozilla launches new JPEG encoder that reduces file size 10% on average
JPEG has been attacked from all sides, yet it remains (for a variety of reasons) the main digital image format on the interwebs. So the good digital hippies at Mozilla decided to help squeeze some compression juice out of JPEGs. They launched today, as a Version 1.0 project, a new JPEG encoder, Mozipeg, that on average reduces JPEG file size by 10%. The estimate is based on 1500 sample images from Wikimedia. The project is introduced at the Mozilla blog and is available for all to see and compile and hack at Github. Source code is included!

Third image teaser ft. After School's Nana revealed
Submitted: Jun 05 2013 03:52 PM by Uni
After School has released their most shocking image teaser yet!
On June 5th, a black-and-white photo of member Nana was released to the public, made up in a hipster style. What makes the image most eye-catching is Nana seems to be topless, but is turned ever so slightly and her arms crossed so that nothing is revealed. The text "What's Next?" is written across the image.
Meanwhile, After School will be releasing their new mini-album on June 13th, both online and in stores.

Open access is the idea that information should be freely available online for anyone to access. Most publishers allow some form of open access or self-archiving.
Look for open access journals through the DOAJ Directory of Open Access Journals which includes 7000 open access scientific and scholarly journals.
Some publishers only allow authors to make an article open access upon payment of fees.
You can choose to favour publishers who allow you to publish in an institutional repository
Over the past two years the Library and Prof Roger Horn (Dean, Research Training) have collaborated to organise the popular Inside Guide to Getting Published seminars.
The seminars have featured presentations from Deakin experts - all with a publishing track record and experience as a reviewer or editor.
Each seminar has been iLectured and the presentations are available here:
In general, if your work is the result of your scholarly output, then you are granted automatic copyright
Moral rights also exist even though you may not hold copyright. It implies an understanding that an author must be acknowledged and credited as the creator of the work. It then follows that it is illegal for your work to be falsely attributed to someone else and that any work that you cite and wish to use must in turn be fully acknowledged and clearly attributed or cited
If your work has been produced on behalf of someone else, i.e. where you have been commissioned or hired to produce the work, then copyright resides with that employer. An example is producing teaching or course materials on behalf of a University. You retain moral rights as the author, which means that you must be properly attributed or acknowledged as the author anytime that work is cited or used.
As the copyright owner of your work, you have the right to reproduce your work, publish it in print or electronically, make it available online, perform it in public, adapt it and broadcast it.
You also have the choice to assign or licence some or all of these rights to a publisher.
You may be requested to sign over copyright to the publisher (assign copyright), sign an exclusive licence or a non-exclusive licence.
Each agreement is different and needs to be understood in terms of what it means for the way you may wish to use your own work in the present and in the future and you also need to be aware if one agreement covers all potential output versions of your work, e.g. print book, e-book, audio book, etc... or do you need to enter into separate agreements.
It's becoming more common for publishers to return to authors some of their rights, in particular the right to deposit a version of the work in a repository, post the work on a website etc...Consult publishers' websites for further information regarding author rights and responsibilities.
If the publisher does not explicitly provide this information it is still possible to negotiate a standard contract by asking the publisher to consider an addendum to their agreement. DRO provides a sample addendum for you to consider.
You may also wish to explore the open licensing model offered by Creative Commons licences. This is where you as the copyright owner expressly decide the conditions under which you allow your work to be openly accessible.
Citation analysis is an aspect of bibliometrics that provides the ability to track the work of authors, the influence of papers and the trajectory of research ideas by examining citation counts as depicted in key citation indexes and online resources.A citation count refers to the number of times one paper has been cited or referenced on the work of another.
Citation analysis is performed by citation indexes (Web of Science and Scopus) and online citation tools (Google Scholar), which can:
The presentation - Track key authors, papers and ideas (PDF, 7.1MB) provides information on how to perform citation analysis using Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar.
Citation analysis using Google Scholar is made possible via the freely available software Publish or Perish.

Measuring your research impact or MyRI is an Open Access toolkit to support bibliometrics training and awareness.
Measuring impact in the Social Sciences is a website created by the London School of Economics and Social Sciences.
DRO is a secure open access institutional repository which stores, manages, indexes, preserves and showcases research outputs produced by Deakin University researchers, staff and higher degree research students, making it discoverable throughout the world.
Determine if the research output can be stored in DRO. At least one of the author/creators must be a current Deakin University employee or higher degree research student. If so you can submit your research via DRO.
We encourage researchers to sign a DRO deposit agreement (PDF, 123KB), so we can investigate making published or post print versions of the work openly accessible.
The DRO team has experience working with publisher permissions and always checks compliance before allowing approved versions of the research to be made visible to the public.
In most cases, publishers do not allow published version of the work to be made visible, but many will permit post print version of works to be made openly accessible.
When submitting you will need to attach the following versions:

ARLINGTON -- The spotlight has been on Texas Rangers All-Star outfielder Josh Hamilton for everything but baseball the past three days.That changed in the ninth inning Saturday night.Exactly three years after Hamilton hit the first walk-off homer of his career, he did it again with a two-run blast into the upper deck at Rangers Ballpark, lifting Texas to a 7-6 victory over Oakland.Hamilton's homer extended the Rangers' winning streak to six games and gave the Rangers their first victory of the season when trailing after eight innings. They were 0 for 30 before Hamilton's shot landed 435 feet from home plate.The euphoria surrounding the victory gave Hamilton a little break after the death of firefighter Shannon Stone on Thursday night at Rangers Ballpark after he fell while trying to catch a ball thrown into the stands by Hamilton."It's been obviously an up-and-down, rollercoaster, emotional type of weekend," said Hamilton, whose homer capped a 4-for-5 game for him. "Everything that happened to Mr. Stone and the Stone family, obviously I'm still thinking about them, praying for them and grieving about the whole situation. Then for something like that to happen tonight it takes you from one extreme to the other pretty quick."I just feel blessed I had the opportunity to do it."The opportunity arose on a night when the Rangers had to rally back on several occasions. Texas trailed 4-0 and 5-1 before tying the game. The A's took the lead in the seventh on Coco Crisp's solo homer and carried that lead into the ninth.Oakland closer Andrew Bailey retired the first two batters before Elvis Andrus hit a slow chopper to second. Oakland second baseman Jemile Weeks' throw to first was late, setting the stage for Hamilton.After two balls by Bailey, Hamilton found a cutter he liked and rapped his 11th homer."What a game," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "We got it off the best they had. They faced the best we had. We won it."The victory marked the first time the Rangers had rallied for a victory with two outs in the ninth since June 15, 2010, at Florida.It certainly wasn't setting up for a dramatic night early. Oakland sent 10 batters to the plate against Colby Lewis in the second and scored four runs. Lewis settled down after that and gave a white-hot Texas offense a chance to get going.The Rangers rallied to tie the score 5-5 in the fifth by getting RBIs from four consecutive hitters off Brandon McCarthy, with Adrian Beltre's homer knotting the game.Crisp put the A's back in front with a one-out homer off Tommy Hunter in the seventh, and the Rangers squandered a chance to pull even in the bottom of the inning.The A's retired seven consecutive batters before Andrus found a way to reach."That's what I wanted to do when we're down by one run, and the big bat is behind me," said Andrus, who had two of the 13 Rangers hits. "The way he's been hitting it lately, I just tried to get on base and get [Hamilton] into a clutch situation."He did that, and Hamilton didn't disappoint with a swing in which he was just trying to put the barrel of the bat on the ball from Bailey (0-2)."The approach was one pitch, one zone," he said. "I figured they'd try to get me to chase, throw me heaters away. From looking at the replay, he was set up away right there and missed in."It was just about being ready to hit right there."Anthony Andro,817-390-7760

Olympic Mom Gives ML a Star Pitch
She tosses a ball at 71 miles an hour, has turned down offers to pose for Playboy and was named hottest sports personality by Maxim. She's pitching for the U.S. in Beijing, already has a gold medal, and she just so happens to be a mom. Momlogic talked to Jennie Finch and got the scoop--from how she balances her family with her career, to what she eats.
The women of U.S. softball are competing in the semi-finals in Beijing--having just beat out China--and have been dubbed the "dream-team" in the 2008 Olympics. They won gold in 2004 (Athens), and if things continue to go the way they have in Beijing, it's likely they will bring home the gold again. But more about Jennie: This 6'1 beauty looks more like a runway model than an Olympic gold medalist--a pair of her used softball shoes went for $1600 on eBay and well, she is the IT girl of the softball world. Here's what she had to say about her home life, her sport and how she keeps her little one, Ace, happy...
Momlogic: How do you balance family life with softball--and what are tips for moms struggling to balance their careers?
Jennie: Basically I do the best I can, and I try to make the most of the time I have with my husband (baseball player Casey Daigle) and son (Ace Shane, 2). We shut down phones and computers and just focus on the three of us. With our schedules it isn't often we are all in the same city, so we know how precious those moments are.
ML: How do you manage to stay in such great shape?
Jennie: Being an athlete is my job. I knew when I was pregnant with Ace that I was going to have to pitch in a world-qualifying game six weeks after he was born, so I worked hard to keep in shape. After he was born, I had to get up to speed quickly. I relied on family, which was great to be able to do. It wasn't easy--and in some ways I wish I were a mom who could have all my time with Ace--but being a professional athlete is a blessing too. I just do the best I can at any moment. I work out up to six hours a day, so I eat foods that give me enough energy to do that and still keep up with Ace. Half the time, I eat whatever Ace has left on his plate, or snacks he hasn't finished!

Which philosophies create better long lasting relationship Gender roles or Gender Equality
Gender roles and Gender Equality are contradictory philosophies; pick one, because you can't have both. Under the gender role philosophy it is my role to stand up and let you sit down on a crowded bus, under the Gender Equality philosophy you ought to stand up on a crowded bus because I got here first. Under Gender Role I should pay for the date. Under Gender Equality: We pay for our own meals. Gender Role: It is mainly my job to be the provider in the house hold. Gender Equality: Get a job and pay half the bills.I'm not stating that one philosophy is wrong or right, but I am saying be consistent and stop wavering between the two philosophies depending on which one is most beneficial to you at the time ( both men and women).

Jan 22 2013: Why are gender roles against gender equality? Equality is the right to chose and be accepted. If I choose to stay at home and look after my children that should be accepted and respected. Often times it is not. It is looked down on. That isn't equality. People get mixed up with equality and being the same. Men and women are not the same!

How to Sell on eBay
Published on - April 26th, 2006 (by J.D. Roth)
Cribnotes has created a guide to selling stuff on eBay. (Which, in turn, is an outgrowth of his eBay FAQ.) I recently sold a couple of thousand dollars worth of old books and games using the methods he describes here.
Selling on eBay or craigslist is an excellent way to simultaneously declutter your life and generate a little extra cash. Selling does require an investment of some time and energy, but since eBay allows you to schedule auctions in advance, it's easy to generate several each week, clearing your house of those old comic books and beanie babies.
My own experience has led me to differ from Smith's guidlines on a couple of points. (For example, I always pay extra for ten-day auctions. They seem to generate a lot of extra revenue, especially if they span two weekends.) I will post my personal eBay method later this week.
This article is about DIY, Odds and Ends
[...] A few weeks ago I linked to Stephen Smith's guide to selling stuff on eBay. Today I'll share some tips of my own. [...]
Thanks for the tips. Sometimes I have good luck on ebay and sometimes I don't. I just don't understand it. I'll be sure to read these tips and pass them on.
I've used ebay for years. Unfortunately its gone really downhill. It's covered in small businesses charging more for products than you can get them elsewhere. Almost everything I want seems to be listed as a "BUY IT NOW" item instead of an auction (where I might be able to get a deal) and things that I could easily sell in the past don't sell there anymore. It's sad.

A USB dongle for one-time passwords
The benefits of OpenKubus include portability and the ability to customize hardware without breaking the bank. The drawback is that the stick and all the servers need to synchronize the serial number. If you need to authenticate against multiple servers, you will need a central server. Tools for managing OpenKubus in larger environments with large numbers of users are still rudimentary.
OpenKubus will not protect you against man-in-the-middle attacks [8]. The service you are calling has to demonstrate authenticity separately. However, the project is an exciting platform for any administrator interested in experimenting.

Have a nice summer holiday with David Tennant!!
I was once asked for my autograph in the shower on one of my rare visits to the gym. I was washing my hair, facing the wall, when I was tapped on the shoulder so already it's quite inappropriate. I turned round and there was another naked man standing there with a piece of paper. And I think 'if you can't see how inappropriate this I am just going to have to play along' so I took the paper, which is slowly becoming mulch, and carved my name in it.

Wow, so I haven't been on here for a while. Lots of new things: I've been dating a guy since shortly after I "left", I moved, have a cat, graduated from college, have a great full time job, and am on the way to getting engaged and married. I miss these discussions, for a while I was kind of sick of Twilight, predominantly because of the movies. But I am looking forward to seeing The Host, and I'm going to start coming back. While I don't have such a great opinion about the books any more, these discussions really take any topic and make it intellectual. I miss that. Glad to be back!
