Bullet cameras are the most effective weapon in CCTV setups, which due to their ability to adapt with your security needs and, thus, fill many different roles within a CCTV setup. A bullet security camera can sport many different types of lenses and many posses the ability to switch between color capture and an infrared mode not unlike infrared security cameras. The quality of a bullet camera is measured by two different metrics: Chip Set and Resolution.
The higher the resolution the sharper the video quality that it can capture. The highest resolution bullet cameras comes in is 700TVL with Sony Effio chips, which record in resolutions comparable to what you would see on standard definition television. Chip-sets in a bullet camera range from a quarter inch (1/4") to to a third inch (1/3"). Bigger chip-sets means the CCD image processor can take in more light, thus giving it better video quality. More about CCD Bullet Cameras here.
Many people think CCTV equipment is ugly, very obtrusive, and uneasy on the eyes. One of the main advantages a bullet cam has is their size. Most of the bullet security camera models we carry can fit into the palm of your hand. A Bullet security camera is light weight, very professional looking, easy to install, and flexible. A Bullet security camera's size also makes them less conspicuous.
Bullet Cams can take on many roles. First, they can be used indoor or outdoor. Secondly, outdoor bullet cameras can take abuse from the heat, cold, rain, and terrible lighting conditions and can generally withstand temperatures between 180 degrees Fahrenheit and -20 degrees Celsius. Some can even survive hurricane conditions (This is a generalization as each model has its own specifications, including their heat, cold, and windstorm ratings. Please consult our weatherproof bullet camera models for more information.). The infrared approach adds a sensor that can detect when to kick on the infrared lights. Infrared security cameras and infrared lenses on bullet security cameras allow security personnel to view at in a high resolution black and white video based upon infrared technology (Please consult our color bullet security cameras or infrared bullet cameras for more info on these subsets of bullets).
As most bullets can be purchased with a variety of different lens packages, you can always have a vari-focal approach to adjust the lens setting in response to real-time situations. This is why they can fill almost any role in a security camera system setup.
Although bullet cameras were designed to fill multiple roles, there are a few places to not use certain bullet security camera models.
The LED lights necessary for infrared recording can wash out your image when in a small space, or when reflective objects are near the camera. High powered LED lights have the ability to reflect light back at the camera, when shot onto reflective objects (such as windows, some "glossy" interior paints, fish tanks, doors, or other metal objects).
This is generally a good rule of thumb, however, the size of room, the presence of reflective objects, or other considerations must be taken into consideration when selecting your bullet security camera.
There are no restrictions that will affect the video when using bullet cameras outdoors.
A Bullet security camera has the ability to be purchased with either fixed or varifocal lenses. A vari-focal lens gives you the option to manually adjust the lens to see at different distances. When events arise in your security setup it is important that you have a camera that can be adjusted to have wider angle of views to capture certain events or see farther to identify key suspects. Most security cameras, especially c-mount security cameras, are not able to adapt as well as bullet cameras. Above all this information we give you the flexibility to choose adapt to changing CCTV needs. Some bullet security cameras have fixed lens with infrared lights and some are varifocal bullet cameras.
If even after considering this guide, you are unsure about what bullet camera is right for you, call us and one of our consultants can help you figure out what you need for your CCTV application. You may also want to consult our Bullet Security Camera FAQ .

Chamard Vineyards spans 20 acres of lush, vine-laden landscape, providing fertile ground for grapes to outgrow their fruity shells during their metamorphosis into palate-pleasing beverages. Local folk maestros take the stage during live-music showcases, laying down a soundtrack for guests as they sip wine such as one of Chamard's regal chardonnays, culled from grapes growing on nearby shorelines. The cabernet franc provides a naturally rosy blush for snowmen attempting to fit in with humans, and pairs well with a selection of cheese, charcuterie, and pate available for purchase during the performances. While not included with this Groupon, Chamard Vineyards piques curious palates with wine tastings held prior to singer-songwriter performances as well as on other evenings.
At The Brasserie, chef Patrick Jean captures a balance between gourmet and relaxed dining, reflected in a menu bearing delectable but unfussy European-bistro-inspired fare. Unlike the timid american burger, which cowers inside a bun under a blanket of cheese, the french burger ($9 for lunch, $10 for dinner) invites public scrutiny while showboating around in a cape of savory black pepper, white mushroom, or blue cheese sauce. Seafood dishes unite unlikely plate mates, such as the tilapia ($18.95 for dinner) festooned with mango, cilantro, and lemon sauce, resulting in a combination bolder than the font of an angry letter typed by a 12-year-old. The most important hybrid meal of the day, brunch fuels bellies with a array of midday munchables, such as pancakes ($7+), including banana, chocolate chip, and blueberry, eggs florentine ($10), or the brunch platter, which comes with a waffle, pancake, piece of french toast, and an omelet ($14).
Restaurateurs Linda and Everett Reid orchestrate a multitude of seasonal dishes menu into a flavor symphony at the French-influenced L & E, garnering a feature in the New York Times. Appetizers such as Cape Cod Bay oysters ($3.25 each) welcome diners to tables covered with the original work of local artists, while seasonal entrees have included delicacies such as pork osso bucco with pink lady applesauce and celery root hash ($22) and pan-seared Atlantic fluke with fingerling potatoes and oyster and lobster mushrooms ($24). Delve into the extensive wine list to pair any entree with a glass of vino such as 2008 Le Vissoux Beaujolais ($7.75) or Domaine Talmard chardonnay ($8.50).
OceanView Bistro's BYOB policy doesn't apply to its chefs, who use wine as an ingredient in several dishes, including a chicken stew marinated in red wine and mussels sautéed in white wine. The bistro's dinner menu boasts an all-French lineup of escargot hors d'oeuvres, stews, seafood, and dessert crepes drizzled in lemon or orange sauce and served with scoops of ice cream. During breakfast and lunch hours, the chefs shift gears from French to American and serve up deli sandwiches, burgers, and pancakes.
With a white-picket fence around its perimeter and an American Flag waving from its bay windows, Boulevard 18 Bistro & Wine Bar might look like a great place to raise a family. But instead of embodying the American Dream, this 1860s Georgian landmark holds a little piece of Paris inside. Chef and co-owner David Raymer transports palates across the Atlantic by pairing more than 80 French wines with traditional entrees. And, much like in a Parisian bistro's kitchen, the focus here is on the craft. Chef Raymer creates country pâté and cures gravlax in house, and even stuffs his own sausages with flavors such as merguez or boudin blanc. The result: French classics with a modern twist, such as grilled mustard-seed-crusted leg of lamb with ratatouille or a duck confit salad.
An antique map of Paris covers the wall of the dining room so that guests never forget where the flavors they're tasting came from. But it also helps tie the room together. The map's curving, cobblestone avenues guide eyes toward the scarlet booths and hardwood accents. Boulevard 18 Bistro & Wine Bar also offers a seasonal dining patio with views of the village fire station where Chef Raymer buys the flames to fill the fire pit.

Only months after its inception, French American Bistro—AKA "FAB"—grabbed the attention of The New York Times with its buttery croissants and fresh salads. Today, head chef Octavio Sandoval continues to mesh French and American flavors to elegantly plate dishes ranging from escargot to 10-ounce burgers on brioche buns. Patrons inside the upscale dining room can pair FAB's seasonal menu with live musical performances and an eclectic selection of beers, wines, and water piped in from the Seine.

Expressions of Interest (EOI) are being sought for St Joseph's Primary School that closed at the end of last year following a decline in enrolments.
The school has been put on the market by the Catholic diocese and it's hoped it will attract some form of business or commercial venture that will bring jobs to the town.
Agent for the sale, Glenn Brunette, said there had already been several interested parties make enquiries but there would be no decision until the end of the EOI process on October 5.
"Before those expressions of interest can be considered we have to go through a public campaign to see what other interest is out there," he said.
"So what we want is for anyone who might be interested to come forward and show their hand so we can then make a decision."
Mr Brunette said that educational facility options had already been explored with interest from the Maritime College and the University of NSW.
"However, with the Australian dollar and other restraints within the education fraternities, they're pulling in their dollars rather than expanding," he said but was quick to add that whoever bought the site, he expected development to commence within a short time after sale.
"If the property is sold, it's not going to sit dormant," he said. "People are not going to spend money buying it and not do something with it.
"Whether it be construction of multi-unit housing, which will employ people to build it, or whether it will be an aged care facility, which will employ people to build and maintain it, or whether it's an educational facility. It will be a new chapter in the town and will be of benefit to Eden.
"We've seen several prime sites come up and be sold in Eden," he said.
"It's an interesting town – what town anywhere in Australia has a full port facility with international potential? And sites such as the BP site we sold last year, plus the Hotel Australasia, the potential redevelopment of the cannery site, it makes Eden quite unique as far as potential goes."

Plot Summary: From the makers of the documentary classics "Don't Look Back" and "The War Room," Pennebaker and Hegedus are simply the best — so when they turn their sights on the competition for the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (MOF), France's Nobel Prize for pastry, you're in for a treat. Sixteen chefs whip up the most gorgeous, delectable, gravity-defying concoctions, and there is edge-of-the seat drama as they deliver their fantastical, spun-sugar desserts to the display table. The inevitable disasters prove both poignant and hilarious.

I read the article regarding Juniper Beach with great interest (Campers 'Slapped In The Face,'" The Daily News, Sept. 17). I understand the frustration that some of the seniors feel in having a First Nations gathering take place with the potential for relocation.
I found the undercurrent in Mr. Hayner and Mr. Mitchell's message to MLA Terry Lake sad. While I agree that many seniors vote, the insinuation that First Nations individuals do not was disappointing and frankly insulting.
I question this innuendo by Mr. Hayner and I challenge him to provide any proof that this is indeed the case. While I understand that he did not overtly state this fallacious assertion, I feel this is exactly what he meant or he would not have made this idle threat to Lake regarding future election results.
This kind of overt racism should not be acceptable today, and it is disappointing to see this pitiful perception from the past actually make into print.
I am disappointed that the Kamloops News would perpetuate such a misconception under the guise of news and I feel that an apology by Mr. Hayner and the Kamloops News is warranted.

Great, great location. If visiting Florence to see the Historic sites/sculptures, this is the hotel for you.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bernini Palace Hotel. The location was perfect for sightseeing, dining and shopping! Everything you need is quite close by. The hotel was undergoing a bit of construction during our stay, but we were informed when we arrived, and it did not interfere with our stay. There was a bit of a noise issue from late night revelers […] outside in the square late at night, but that was really beyond the control of the hotel. I was quite impressed by how clean our room was--especially the bathroom. It was sparkling! Our stay would have been perfect had the Hotel provided extra pillows, as there was just one relatively thin pillow per person. Otherwise, a great stay! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Well located in the central area of old town close to Ponte Vecchia. The hotel is walking distance to all the places you want to see in Florence. Has a very good breakfast buffet. Staff are very helpful and can get you the tickets to access the sites ahead of the lines waiting to pay for entry.

"fantastic location and ambiance."
While we only had one night at the hotel, we thoroughly enjoyed it. the hotel was a wonderful introduction to Florence, the room was very charming and clean and the location was perfect as a base to wander around the city. The breakfast was also in a lovely room and the food was good. They provide parking, which was key because we had a rental car and […] were great about holding our luggage both pre check-in and post check-out so that we could maximize our Florence experience before moving on to our next location on our trip. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

"Great location, comfortable beds, helpful staff"
Excellent location for a short trip to Florence, great decor and cleanliness, bed linen was outstanding, all members of staff were extremely helpful and caring, breakfast was ok, airconditioning in some rooms could be more efficient. We were given a nice large room initially and when we pointed out the smell were told it was because of the previous […] guests. Later when we felt quite uncomfortable with the constant smell and requested to be moved we learnt it was actually a smoking room. They moved us to a different (smaller) room which was a true non-smoking room but felt stuffy as the AC was poor. On the third day we were moved to another (this time bigger) room which was fine. Inspite of all this staff were genuinely helpful and attentive. We were there on a short city break and were not under any pressure and didn't really mind changing rooms but could have done without. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
This was the nicest hotel we stayed in on our trip through northern Italy. We're not even back yet and I've already recommended it to friends.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Great Location"
The hotel is literally behind the Palazzo Vecchio, with the Ponte Vecchio and Santa Croce church very close by. The Duomo is also within an easy walk. Around the corner is the #1 rated sandwich shop on Trip Advisor. Location is definitely key. However, because it is so central, it is a little more difficult for taxis to get to (especially from the train […] station), typically navigating through the throngs at the Duomo. Air conditioning in the rooms is hit and miss. We had two rooms - one was nicely air conditioned, the other next door was not. We asked repeatedly for them to increase the air (each room is controlled centrally which really begs the question why install thermostats in each room if you can't control it yourself) but it only helped marginally. There was one day when the entire hallway in our section of the hotel smelled like a sewer. Thankfully, it was only one day. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

this was a well located hotel in the centre of the city. We had booked a standard room but received an upgrade to a superior room on arrival. This was very quiet but small with only a 4 '6" bed.

The Bernini Palace is a first class, five star location. The staff from the time you walk in until the time you check out are attentive to your every need and desire. Recommendations for restaurants, sights, and shopping were made based NOT on touristy things but rather great things the city of Florence has to offer.

"RIght in the heart of Florence! Loved this hotel!"
We had three rooms for five people and all were beautifully decorated with modern bathrooms and AC. They were also very quiet, considering the location. Ours however, offered an absolutely stunning view of the Duomo and other medieval towers - wish I could figure out how to post a picture here - it was the same view that a visiting dignitary would have […] had when they stayed there in the 1500s (That is what the hotel was originally)! The lobby is lushly decorated and we were given cards for free welcome drinks for everyone. The breakfast buffet was great and served in a room with a fresco on the ceiling. Front staff was friendly and helpful. Parking was a bit steep ($35 Euros per night), but they whisked our car away and called it out for us - and hey, you are right in the heart of Florence, right next to the Uffizi! Really don't have a negative thing to say about this hotel. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

Excellent location! Right in the heart of Florence with 5 less than 5 minute walk to Ponte Vecchio and 2 minute walk to Ufizzi. Fortunate to get a free upgrade on the room and it was very spacious and nice. Breakfast was very comprehensive and quite good. No complaints at all on the hotel itself and the staff.

"One of the main highlights of my Florence stay !"
Amazing hotel - lives up to the word "Palace" in its name. It was a world of difference than my Rome hotel - which I paid the same rates. THe room here had a great view + was very roomy with 3 lovely chairs. The breakfast buffet was amazing - self service but the waiters treated you as if it was full service with full cloth linens on table and napkin. […] The super tall ceilings made you feel as if you were a Medici having breakfast. Wi-fi included - no stingy policy there. I have a new hotel to call home the next time I visit Florence. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Living like royalty in Florence"
Bernini Palace made us feel like royalty for our stay. Our room was very spacious and well appointed. The bathroom was very large as well. We had an extremely comfortable bed with linen sheets. There was plenty of closet space. The staff was very helpful in getting tickets for the Uffizzi so we only had to wait 15 minutes. Breakfast was really nice […] and included just about anything that you could want and was in a lovely room that had been a parliament room. The hotel shuttle driver took us to our car rental when we left and made that an easy transfer. All the staff were most helpful and knowledgeable. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Celebrating 160 years of service to Missourians
One hundred sixty years is not a very long time when speaking in geologic terms. However, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Geological Survey is observing this noteworthy milestone this year. Since 1853, the Missouri Geological Survey has provided reliable scientific information to describe and understand Missouri's wealth of natural resources.
Plan to visit our Edward L. Clark Museum of Missouri Geology this year to learn about the geology of Missouri and about contributions staff members have made to both the environmental and economic vitality of Missouri. Read more.
Sinkhole Collapse
Sinkholes are depressed or collapsed areas formed by dissolution of carbonate bedrock or collapse of underlying caves. They range in size from several square yards to hundreds of acres and may be very shallow or hundreds of feet deep. Sinkholes are part of what is called "karst" topography, which also includes caves, spring and losing streams. We provide assistance to the citizens of Missouri by evaluating the causes and impacts of sinkhole formation and collapse. Geologists perform geologic and hydrologic evaluation to determine if collapse is attributed to a natural karst feature or is associated with the failure of a man-made feature. Learn more.

Man dies protecting daughter in home invasion
MIAMI (WSVN) -- Police are investigating a deadly home invasion after a father was fatally shot during a struggle with intruders.
The home invasion occurred Tuesday night on 43rd Street and Northwest 16th Avenue. Investigators said two armed men broke into the home and demanded money from Maurice Harris and his wife.
Harris told the robbers they had no money. The men then held his wife to the floor at gunpoint and started to walk towards their 11-year-old daughter's bedroom. Harris struggled with the suspects to keep them away from the room, and then he was shot. "The only thing they were saying was, 'Money, we want money,' and we kept on telling them we don't have any money," said Harris' wife, Shakila Stewart.
Harris was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he died.
Annie Streeter was shocked to hear about her son-in-law's death. "When I found out what happened, I couldn't believe it, I'm thinking this is all a dream," she said. "Right now we're all numb and in disbelief."
"[The robbers] will stop at nothing to get what they want," said Miami Police Department Detective Confessor Gonzalez. "The motive is clearly a robbery; it is a home invasion robbery. The sanctity of their home was violated, and it can't get much worse than this."
Streeter said the crooks held Stewart at gunpoint during the invasion. "She said that someone took the gun and put it to her head and had them hostage there," she said.
Neighbors are now hailing Harris as a hero. "Unfortunately, he died, but he's super dad," said Terry Jones. "I hope I have that much courage if something like that would've happened to me."
Harris and Stewart had been married for 16 years.
Officials are urging anyone with information on the shooters' whereabouts to notify authorities. They describe the suspects as two black males.
If you have any information on this deadly home invasion, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward.

RCSD: Nearby students will get top priority in Kindergarten placement
Posted at: 01/12/2013 11:17 AM
Superintendent Bolgen Vargas says that nearby Kindergarten students will soon receive priority placement at elementary schools.
District officials say the "Home School Guarantee" will ensure that residents who live within a half mile of a neighborhood elementary school will be able to attend that school. Students who are part of city pre-K programs will receive second priority to nearby residents.
Dr. Vargas says this new promise will allow families who purchase homes in Rochester to have a better idea where their children will attend school.
Officials say this plan only applies to the 32 neighborhood elementary schools, but not the citywide elementary school programs.
Programs that are exempt from the guarantee include:
- Dr. Walter Cooper School No. 10
- James P.B. Duffy School No. 12 (dual language program only)
- The Children's School of Rochester School No. 15
- Henry Lomb School No. 20
- James J. Audubon School No. 33 (dual language program only)
- The Montessori Academy, School No. 53
- Early Childhood School of Rochester School No. 57
- World of Inquiry School No. 58
- Wilson Foundation Academy
The guarantee was announced at Saturday's "School Choice Expo," an event that allows families to explore different city school programs for their children.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) About 17% of drivers up to age 35 drive a Toyota and another 13% claim their first car was a Honda while only 10% opted for a Chevrolet, according to a new study.
"About a third of those who recalled the make of their first car drove a Chevy with both Impalas and Bel Airs taking the top spot," said PEMCO Insurance spokesperson Jon Osterberg.
Getting behind the wheel of a car for the first time is a memorable event. Yet inexperience brings higher risk so teen drivers need all the safety advantages they can get.
"The strong reputations of Honda and Toyota is one of the primary reasons they are favored as first cars," said Michael Barry, spokesperson with the Insurance Information Institute.
A PEMCO report found that one-third of respondents under age 55 drove a car that was more than 10 years old when they first became drivers.
"Older cars are often more affordable for parents and teens, but our poll confirms the trend we suspect that parents opt for older and sometimes smaller cars for their teens when a newer car would be a safer option," Osterberg said.
The study further disclosed that one-third of respondents under age 55 drove a car that was more than ten years old when they first became drivers.
While front-seat lap and shoulder belts became a federal standard in 1968, backseat lap and shoulder seatbelts weren't standard in vehicles until 1990.
"There are many resources for teens and parents to help select a first car that's safe, reliable and affordable," Osterberg said. "Websites that compare crash-test results and safety ratings across makes and models are often a great place to start."
For example, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration maintains crash test results and 5-star Safety Ratings on its website. According to PEMCO's poll, 36% of drivers 55 and older said their first car had lap seatbelts without shoulder harnesses and only 3% said their first car offered shoulder harnesses in addition to lap belts.
"While there's no doubt automakers have made significant advances in safety over the decades, chances are even a ten-year-old vehicle today would lack newer recommended safety features such as electronic stability control and driver head-protecting side airbags," Barry said. "You and your teenager should choose a car that is easy to drive and would offer protection in the event of a crash."
Just 4% of drivers between 35 and 54 said their first car included driver-side front airbags, a safety feature critical by today's standards since they didn't become standard in a majority of new models until 1994.

Canadians and the world have made the choice to use oil as part of their daily lives and energy diet - in transportation, to heat homes and in myriad consumer products, including shoes, plastics and vitamin capsules.
Close to 800,000 people work in the sector and an equal number are employed nationwide through related jobs in construction, manufacturing, technology, transportation and services.
As the world's sixth-largest producer of energy and its third-largest per capita user, Canadians rely on natural resources to meet lifestyle and economic needs.
Previously, we had to rely on broader statistics about the entire oil and gas industry to understand the economic benefits of pipelines. This new study provides more comprehensive data by honing in on the direct impact of transmission pipelines.
The question of why aren't we refining more of our oil in Canada is often driven by the belief that exporting crude without processing it into finished products foregoes the opportunity to add significant value. The assumption is that the value from manufacturing is greater than that from resource extraction, and that later stages of processing create better terms of trade than resource production.
The Responsible Canadian Energy progress report provides data, information, trends and performance analysis of the programs key performance areas.
In 2012, the industry invested $37 billion in Western Canada (excluding oil sands). The industry produces conventional natural gas, natural gas from shale, other tight reservoirs and coal bed methane, and a large spectrum of crude oil, including conventional oil and oil from tight sands and shale formations as well as heavy crude.
Canada's offshore oil and gas exploration and production is focused primarily in the oceans around Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia, where significant quantities of crude oil and natural gas lie in sedimentary basins beneath the ocean floor.
Industry is committed to protecting the health and safety of our employees and the public.
As oil sands development evolves with improving technology, industry understands it needs to continuously demonstrate the land, air and water impacts of mining and in situ oil sands production are managed in a sustainable way that meets regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations.

Obama's promise to "spread the wealth around" has people weeping at the prospect that if they help him (with a vote) he will help them (with free money and services). Like this nice lady… I don't fault this woman at all for taking Senator Government at his word, hell, It's not like their hiding their intentions any longer.

248-dimension maths puzzle solved
248-dimension maths puzzle solved
248-dimension maths puzzle solved An international team of mathematicians has detailed a vast complex numerical "structure" which was invented more than a century ago. Mapping the 248-dimensional structure, called E8, took four years of work and produced more data than the Human Genome Project, researchers said. E8 is a "Lie group", a means of describing symmetrical objects. The team said their findings may assist fields of physics which use more than four dimensions, such as string theory. Lie groups were invented by the 19th Century Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie (pronounced "Lee"). Familar structures such as balls and cones have symmetry in three dimensions, and there are Lie groups to describe them. E8 is much bigger. "What's attractive about studying E8 is that it's as complicated as symmetry can get", observed David Vogan from the Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US. "Mathematics can almost always offer another example that's harder than the one you're looking at now, but for Lie groups, E8 is the hardest one." Professor Vogan is presenting the results at MIT in a lecture entitled The Character Table for E8, or How We Wrote Down a 453,060 x 453,060 Matrix and Found Happiness. Fundamental force Conceptualising, designing and running the calculations took a team of 19 mathematicians four years. The final computation took more than three days' solid processing time on a Sage supercomputer. What came out was a matrix of linked numbers, which together describe the structure of E8. It contains more than 60 times as much data as the human genome sequence. Each of the 205,263,363,600 entries on the matrix is far more complicated than a straightforward number; some are complex equations. The team calculated that if all the numbers were written out in small type, they would cover an area the size of Manhattan. In addition to facilitating further understanding of symmetry and related areas of mathematics, the team hopes its work will contribute to areas of physics, such as string theory, which involve structures possessing more than the conventional four dimensions of space and time. "While mathematicians have known for a long time about the beauty and the uniqueness of E8, we physicists have come to appreciate its exceptional role only more recently," commented Hermann Nicolai, director of the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (the Albert Einstein Institute) in Germany. "Yet, in our attempts to unify gravity with the other fundamental forces into a consistent theory of quantum gravity, we now encounter it at almost every corner." |

I'll be honest, i don't know quite what all this means. When it comes to math, i'm a little slow at times.

Capacity Building
Developing programmes and building capacity are interrelated. TIB is building its capacity in two ways:
- encouraging its trustees, members and well-wishers to undertake specific tasks, such as, research, organising workshops and seminars, networking with media. Depending on the nature of work the level of honorarium or remuneration is fixed based on specific terms of reference. This creates a sense of solidarity and commitment for individuals involved with TIB as both members and non-members.
- TIB has also started a process, which would help to identify specific organisational needs.

I'm using Fire FTP (Firefox add-on) in Ubuntu to download my project locally but when I click on download, it says failed to create directory "Project1" locally
. Is there any root permission issue? if yes then how I can download my project using Fire FTP?
Take the tour
Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Apparmor is stopping fireftp traffic, so you need to configure apparmor to allow FireFTP. If more help is needed in regards to apparomr have a look at this site | |||||||||||||||||||||
I guess it is some root permission issue. Now downloaded my project to Downloads and moved it to /opt/lampp/htdocs. Now it is working fine | |||||||||

At Nahon Saharovich & Trotz, PLC (âNST Law), we know that as SUVs became popular, making the transition from off-road vehicle to all purpose family car, certain design elements made the SUV a moving death trap for many drivers. The SUV is portrayed in most auto industry advertising as the âheartwarming modern station wagonâ where mom and dad load up the kids, dog and bikes and head off for a sun filled day at the beach. This popular image belies a darker side to the widespread popularity of the SUV â the SUV rollover accident.
Although roll over accidents occur less frequently than other accidents, they are far more likely to result in serious injury or death. Rollover accidents kill about 10,000 people and injure more than 200,000 each year. Although rollover accidents accounted for only 3% of all auto accidents in 2001, they now account for a whopping 33% of all vehicle accident fatalities. At NST Law, we have many years of knowledge and experience with representing those injured in SUV rollover accidents.
The reasons that SUVs are so prone to rollover accidents and result in such catastrophic injuries like head trauma are well known in the SUV manufacturing industry. The risk of an SUV rollover occurs when taking emergency corrective action after steering in one direction and then rapidly correcting in the other direction. SUVs have a high center of gravity (i.e they are top-heavy) and are among the most unstable vehicles on the road. The high center of gravity and a narrow track width (i.e. the distance between the tires on each side of the vehicle) makes it difficult for a SUV to skid, spin and recover. This is a common evasive maneuver that auto driverâs successfully perform every day. In SUV vehicles, this rapid corrective action often causes SUVâs to rollover. SUV accident litigation often involves expert testimony regarding the physics of SUV rollovers and SUV safety standards. The attorneys of NST Law understand the value of using technology like computer animations to help the judge and jury understand and visualize an SUV rollover accident.
Studies of rollover accidents show that more than 90% of rollovers occur after a driver inadvertently runs off the roadway. Once the vehicle leaves the pavement after the driver loses control of the vehicle, it hits a ditch, soft soil, curb or rail guard or other âtripping mechanism,â which then initiates the rollover accident. This type of chain reaction is the most common factor in SUV rollover accidents often called âtrippingâ accidents. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) can reduce the risk of SUV rollover accidents to some degree. ESC is intended to aid drivers in maintaining control of their vehicles during extreme steering maneuvers. The ESC system senses when the SUV is starting to spin out (oversteer) or plow out (understeer), the system automatically activating the brakes to one or more wheels. Other systems slow the SUV with further brake and throttle control.
The design and manufacturing of an SUV not only make it more likely to rollover during an accident but also much more frequently results in catastrophic injury or death. Although many SUV type vehicles originally were designed with rollbars for off-road driving, SUV manufacturers viewed rollbars as an unnecessary expense as SUVs became routinely used for standard city driving. Today, very few SUVs have rollbars and almost none meet the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration roof safety standards for automobiles. The high center of gravity, narrow track width and lack of roof reinforcement form a deadly combination. The SUV auto accident attorneys of NST Law thoroughly understand the legal and mechanical issues related to SUV rollover accidents. NST Law will make the vast resources of experience, knowledge and technology at our disposal available to assist you in obtaining the best possible outcome in your SUV rollover accident case.

American Idol 2013 Spoiler: Son of Season 1's Nikki McKibbin Reportedly Auditions For Season 12
Those of us who have been watching American Idol since its inception 10 years ago likely remember the distinctive and smoky voice of 3rd place finisher Nikki McKibbin.
In what can only be considered the circle of life (or at least the circle of Idol), The Idol Pad reports that McKibbin's son, 15-year-old Tristen Langley, auditioned for Season 12 of the reality singing competition.
While it isn't known whether McKibbin's son made it past the initial round, you'll really get a blast from the past by watching this video. After Nikki sang Naked Eyes' "Always Something There To Remind Me," little 4-year-old Tristen walked onstage and brought his mama flowers. Pretty adorbs, no?
The video cuts off just as Randy Jackson gets to his critique and, if we know anything about The Dawg by this point, starting it off with "Nikki, Nikki, Nikki" probably wasn't a good thing.
The writing was likely on the wall at that point (we're looking at you, Kelly Clarkson), but we'll be keeping an eye out for a McKibbin resurgence in Season 12!

Marijuana is the third most popular recreational drug in America (behind only alcohol and tobacco), and has been used by nearly 100 million Americans. According to government surveys, some 25 million Americans have smoked marijuana in the past year, and more than 14 million do so regularly despite harsh laws against its use. Our public policies should reflect this reality, not deny it.
Marijuana is far less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco. Around 50,000 people die each year from alcohol poisoning. Similarly, more than 400,000 deaths each year are attributed to tobacco smoking. By comparison, marijuana is nontoxic and cannot cause death by overdose. According to the prestigious European medical journal, The Lancet, "The smoking of cannabis, even long-term, is not harmful to health. ... It would be reasonable to judge cannabis as less of a threat ... than alcohol or tobacco."
Get the facts. See our Library
NORML supports the removal of all penalties for the private possession and responsible use of marijuana by adults, including cultivation for personal use, and casual nonprofit transfers of small amounts. This policy, known as decriminalization, removes the consumer -- the marijuana smoker -- from the criminal justice system.
More than 30 percent of the U.S. population lives under some form of marijuana decriminalization, and according to government and academic studies, these laws have not contributed to an increase in marijuana consumption nor negatively impacted adolescent attitudes toward drug use.
See Personal Use for more information.
Enforcing marijuana prohibition costs taxpayers an estimated $10 billion annually and results in the arrest of more than 750,000 individuals per year -- far more than the total number of arrestees for all violent crimes combined, including murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault.
Of those charged with marijuana violations, approximately 86 percent,663,032 Americans were charged with possession only. The remaining 94,937 individuals were charged with "sale/manufacture," a category that includes all cultivation offenses, even those where the marijuana was being grown for personal or medical use. In past years, roughly 30 percent of those arrested were age 19 or younger.
NORML supports the eventual development of a legally controlled market for marijuana, where consumers could buy marijuana for personal use from a safe legal source. This policy, generally known as legalization, exists on various levels in a handful of European countries like The Netherlands and Switzerland, both of which enjoy lower rates of adolescent marijuana use than the U.S. Such a system would reduce many of the problems presently associated with the prohibition of marijuana, including the crime, corruption and violence associated with a "black market."
For more information, see About NORML.
Marijuana, or cannabis, as it is more appropriately called, has been part of humanity's medicine chest for almost as long as history has been recorded.
Of all the negative consequences of marijuana prohibition, none is as tragic as the denial of medicinal cannabis to the tens of thousands of patients who could benefit from its therapeutic use.
Modern research suggests that cannabis is a valuable aid in the treatment of a wide range of clinical applications. These include pain relief -- particularly of neuropathic pain (pain from nerve damage) -- nausea, spasticity, glaucoma, and movement disorders. Marijuana is also a powerful appetite stimulant, specifically for patients suffering from HIV, the AIDS wasting syndrome, or dementia. Emerging research suggests that marijuana's medicinal properties may protect the body against some types of malignant tumors and are neuroprotective.
Currently, more than 60 U.S. and international health organizations support granting patients immediate legal access to medicinal marijuana under a physician's supervision.
See our Medical Use section for more information.
Driven by the Drug War, the U.S. prison population is six to ten times as high as most Western European nations. The United States is a close second only to Russia in its rate of incarceration per 100,000 people. In 2010, more than 850,000 people were arrested in this country for marijuana-related offenses alone.
Marijuana prohibition causes more problems than it solves, and ruins thousands more lives than it supposedly tries to save. The NORML Legal Committee provides legal support and assistance to victims of the current marijuana laws. NORML also monitors developments in state and federal law, and files appellate and amicus curiae ("friend of the court") briefs in cases which may affect the interpretation of existing marijuana laws, or which will, hopefully, change them.
See our Legal Issues section for more information.
Hemp is a distinct variety of the plant species cannabis sativa L. that contains minimal (less than 1%) amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. It is a tall, slender, fibrous plant similar to flax or kenaf. Various parts of the plant can be utilized in the making of textiles, paper, paints, clothing, plastics, cosmetics, foodstuffs, insulation, animal feed and other products.
Hemp produces a much higher yield per acre than do common substitutes such as cotton and requires few pesticides. In addition, hemp has an average growing cycle of only 100 days and leaves the soil virtually weed-free for the next planting.
The hemp plant is currently harvested for commercial purposes in over 30 nations, including Canada, Japan and the European Union. Although it grows wild across much of America and presents no public health or safety threat, hemp is nevertheless routinely uprooted and destroyed by law enforcement. Each year, approximately 98% of all the marijuana eliminated by the DEA's "Domestic Cannabis Eradication/Suppression Program" is actually hemp.

When I first started blogging, I was incredibly lucky. One of the first commenters I had (that wasn't related to me) was Joanne Bamberger. I had been stalking her blog for awhile because I so admired her mix of smarts, motherhood and politics on her blog, Pundit Mom. When she We had so much in common, but Joanne also challenged some of my views about politics and feminism. She's made me examine my own biases through a critical lens and she does with a deft hand. (Plus, Joanna is also a recovering lawyer. Although I didn't know it at the time, we would also eventually have the "recovering" part in common as well.)
Joanne has done so much for me professionally. When I wouldn't call myself a "real" writer, she smacked me upside the head. (Virtually, of course.) She introduced me to others in the bloggy world of moms and politics. She was my entree into the DC Metro Moms blog and we both joined MOMocrats at the same time. She's been a loyal cheerleader and an amazing friend over the last 5 years.
In the same time, Joanne has done some wonderful things. When we met, she was already an accomplished writer and blogger, but now her name is always mentioned as one of the top female political bloggers. She's debated conservatives on CNN, Fox and others. She's had policy discussions with our country's legislative leaders. She works tirelessly to do all of this with civility and respect for others, something that is often lost in politics.
Now, my dear friend has written a book. Now, this post isn't a review. I haven't read the book yet. Although, yes, I pre-ordered it on Amazon like, the moment it was available. But I already know that it's a must read. You see, the book, Mothers of Intention, takes its name from the series of guest posts from Joanne's blog. On Pundit Mom, she's been running the Mothers of Intention series for several years. (My post for the series appears in February of 2008.) She features women writing about politics, bt she doesn't just feature political writers. Joanne has managed to talk women (conservative and progressive) who swore they knew nothing about politics to open up and realize, well, HECK YEAH, maybe I DO have some opinions! And yes, those opinions matter.
The book also brings Jo's always thoughtful analysis to the topic of how women and social media are revolutionizing politics on both sides of the aisle. It's not just the boys' game anymore and Joanne knows it. I can't wait to read it. I hope you'll read it too.
In the interests of full disclosure, I should tell you that I'm a contributor to the book, although it's not the post linked above. But I'm just one of many, many thoughtful voices in the book. I'm actually amazed to be included with such wonderful women and I have Joanne to thank for that.
