A fine map! A very clear style.
So here's a follow-up to the Gerse city map I created a while back for Scholastic. This one's for Elizabeth Bunce's book "Star Crossed", an earlier novel in her fantasy series and focuses on the region of Llyvraneth.
Crit's/kudos are always welcome.
Let me know if you have any specific questions &'ll I'll try to respond quickly.
A fine map! A very clear style.
Neat and really nice.
Definitely love the style.
The only things that bothers me (just a bit, don't be mad at me) are:
- The small lake, right under "Kellespau". It sticks out. It doesn't reflect the isometric style and attracts the eye too much. Varying the thickness of the line would suffice I guess.
It's ok with the rivers and the coasts but the lake may be changed a little bit.
- Where is the river that fills up this lake?
We've got plenty of rivers west of the mountains but nothing East. Looks unbalanced to me.
Just my 2 cents.
I do love the map and wish I could do the same :/
Man, you have a way with lineart .... just love the style. Use of crisp lines to outline things, and make it perfectly clear what everything is (envious... aye). Also great how the borders fit in perfectly with the drawing. Only thing I can see is that the crossed-swords somehow seem a little out of style as it's the only icon on the map, but then again maybe this is an important place that needs to stand out... cheers, DJ

I agree that the lake is a little bland and flat. I guess I was in a rhythm when drawing the shorelines and just continued on with the flattened style when drawing the lake. As for a lack of a river feeding it; I'm sure that there are lots of smaller features and streams that don't appear on the map. Maybe I should have added a tributary, but didn't think to at the time. There wasn't any mention of one in the text, so honestly it may have just slipped between the cracks.
I luv the map (always loved your work), and my only questions is...why no scale bar?

1974's SLEAZY SCANDALS OF THE SILVER SCREEN can be truthfully referred to as a comic book version of Kenneth Anger's notorious HOLLYWOOD BABYLON. Like its inspiration, the anonymous and pseudonymous creators at work here seem to have the obvious motto of "Never let the truth get in the way of a juicy rumor!" And what creators they are! Bill (ZIPPY THE PINHEAD) Griffith, the great Kim Deitch, the legendary Spain Rodriguez and even Pulitzer Prize winner (I think you have to throw that in by law) Art Spiegelman all had a hand in this little volume. Originally, in fact, it actually WAS a little volume, sized about on the level with a Digest-sized comic. Over the years, subsequent printings were done at a larger size.
Featured in the book are well drawn but sensationalized stories of the Fatty Arbuckle Murder Trial, Clara Bow's supposed love of football teams, the suicide of Mexican Spitfire Lupe Velez, the ever-popular murder of William Desmond Taylor, the peculiar habits of Tallulah Bankhead and the wacky but cleaned up story of Liberace! Seen here also is Spiegelman's back cover done in the style of those little syndicated newspaper fillers that could still be found in the press of the period.
As underground comics go, this one is rife with nudity, drugs, alcohol and scandalous behaviors but it ain't exactly ZAP. In fact, in these days of Britney without underwear, Miley IN underwear and Paris in everyone else's underwear, this stuff is barely shocking at all. If marketed better, it may well have appealed to a wider audience than more successful contemporary comix. Today, as the creators involved finally get their due, SLEAZY SCANDALS OF THE SILVER SCREEN sits waiting to be rediscovered and reevaluated as the singular book that it is. If you're a comix fan or an old movie buff, it's a fun read...but you probably WILL want to grab a quick shower afterwards. By the way, Marilyn Monroe only appears on the front and back covers...both seen here.

My audiences have remained uncompiled for days. Is there anything I can do to force a compile, or what is the compilation schedule?
Thanks for the feedback.
That is what I would like to know as well. We are currently testing with audiences and having them compiled would definitely help!
I would like to know as well - seems a bit random - have had one compliation but that was awhile ago - had assumed a daily task - but does not appear to be!
Hi Bob,
Since no one seems to be responding, and I don't have O365 Enterprise to confirm, you might want to check out these instructions that I found over in the user's guide.
1.On the SharePoint Online Administration Center page, click Manage User Profiles.
2.On the Manage User Profiles page, under People, click Manage Audiences.
3.On the Manage Audiences page, click Start compilation.
3.On the Manage Audiences page, click Specify compilation schedule.
4.On the Specify Compilation Schedule page, click Enable scheduling to turn on audience scheduling.
5.Select a start time from the Start at drop-down list.
6.To schedule compilations at this time every day, select Every day.
7.To schedule compilations on certain days of the week, select Every week on, and then select the days you want to compile audiences.
8.To schedule compilations once a month, select Every month on this date, and then select the day of the month on which to compile audiences.
9.Click OK.
Interesting - and indeed on a "normal" instance of SharePoint it's easy - but on O365 I cannot see/find or don't have access, to either manual or scheduled triggering of compliation - either it's a background task or its well hidden - But thanks anyway
In that case, you may want to send a Feedback request for the ability to compile/schedule; or you can submit a service request to ask them to compile it.
Also, I did find an article on writing a program to compile -- there's a bit of code to authenticate against SharePoint Online, and then some code to do the compilation. But, I'm not a SharePoint developer, so I really can't do much more than point you to the article: stsadm2010.blogspot.com
Again, you may want to submit a Service Request and ask them to do an audience compilation.
Hi All,
Yeah, I feel the same way. I can't seem to find any buttoms, too. What's going on?
Anyway, I hope this problem will be resolved by the upcoming GA.
Take care,
In the meantime, you should submit a Service Request and ask them to manually do a compilation for you. (You'll find the Service Request link over on the left-hand side of the Admin home page.
New Information. Service Requests are only for billing or subscription issues. Office 365 for Small Business does not include any technical support other than this forum. A link was posted by an MSFT moderator for another thread: onlinehelp.microsoft.com/.../ff637528.aspx
If you want technical support, you'll need to contract with a Microsoft Partner, or move to an Office 365 Enterprise.
Hi SamSBook,
Thank you for providing me with the information.
I can utilize Service Requrests because we are O365 Enterprise users. As your suggestion, I'll try it.
Does somebody have any status on this? I would like to compile my audiences by myself!
Hi CloudinCPE!
I heard from an MS support member that currently Audience Compilation will be performed *automatically* once a week. But he said, that will be performed on a daily basis in the future.
In Japan, that compilation is done at 01:00 JST on every Saturday.
Japanese Hyena
I have the same problem, it is very "boring" to wait weelky the compilation ... we are in 2013 and have to wait 1 week it is very strange from Microsoft ... !!!
2¢ more... This is the type of tenant administration pain point that makes SharePoint Online and O365 look bad.
The delay between when the tenant administrative change is made and when the change is available for use makes the tenant admin feel unsatisfied with the feature and less than empowered.
Further those on whose behalf the change was made likely regard hearing, "it has been configured for you, please just wait until Monday for Office 365 to realize it," dubiously.
Making this feature more responsive to tenant admin changes is a would-be-win, just waiting to be compiled.

Visteon Corp., the former Ford auto parts unit that's battling bankruptcy rumors as losses mount, paid a performance bonus last week to 2,700 salaried workers worldwide.
All of the company's white-collar workers were eligible for the annual bonus, including CEO Donald Stebbins and his senior executive team, spokesman Jim Fisher said Monday, March 9.
Two sources at Visteon said the bonus averaged about 2 percent of annual salary. The award is for meeting quality targets in 2008, Fisher said.
While announcing a 2008 net loss of $633 million last month, Visteon reported that it had substantially exhausted its U.S. lines of credit and said it could break its loan terms. The stock has been delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and is trading for about 4 cents a share.
The decision to pay the bonus amid rising losses and workforce reductions recognizes the importance of quality in "winning new business," Fisher said.
He said Visteon customers in 2008 measured a 36 percent improvement in product quality over 2007. Visteon makes auto interiors, climate controls and electronics.
The move comes as Visteon faces a deadline Tuesday, March 10, for making a $16 million interest payment on bond debt. Financial analysts speculated this month that Visteon might miss the payment.
Fisher declined to discuss the interest payment.
He also declined to confirm the size of the bonus or how much it cost Visteon. He said it was part of a program given every year since Visteon was spun off from Ford in 2000.
At the end of 2008, Visteon had $1.18 billion in cash and cash equivalents, and an additional $68 million in an escrowed restructuring account funded by Ford. That is well above the 10 percent of revenue deemed safe for parts suppliers. Visteon reported revenue of about $9 billion in 2008. Visteon has never recorded an annual profit since its spinoff from Ford.
Industry conditions have worsened significantly in the first quarter. North American vehicle production was down 55 percent through March 7.
Visteon has responded with job cuts, salary reductions and other cost savings. Visteon has cut 625 jobs since October and is eliminating an additional 375 by the end of March, Fisher said. The 2,100 salaried employees at Visteon's suburban Detroit headquarters and a second technical center also took pay cuts in February ranging from 2 to 10 percent, he said. Those reductions run through June.
Fisher said Stebbins' pay cut was 10 percent.

Now that summer is ending I am crazy excited to plan my porch decor for fall. From plants to accessories and or course furnishings. I have a great antique bench now but I would love a better set of furniture that could better accommodate more than two people. Sitting outside once the weather has cooled is probably my favorite activity in Autumn. So I have been looking very hard for the right set of wicker furniture.
Buy All Weather Wicker Furniture | Home and Patio Décor Center
I love the way wicker can go from season to season without needing a whole lot of change aside from maybe a new set of cushions. It holds up well and generally looks quite classy no matter the occasion. Now if I could only decide on the perfect set! Color, style, grouping. So very much to think about. But I will get on that soon since autumn is coming quickly!

Buyers and sellers alike have several tools to help determine the used car value of a vehicle they plan to buy or sell.
Calculate how much a car is worth here >>
Kelley Blue Book Online
The Kelley Blue Book is the recognized leader in determining used car values. The online site is very easy to use.
- Go to the Kelley website.
- Input the requested data: Year, Make and Model
- Enter your zip code
- Select which type of value you're looking for: Trade, Retail, Private Party
- Select the correct trim
- Select the correct transmission, enter the mileage and specify which options it has
- Select the vehicle's condition
- View the selected value
Edmunds is also another very highly recognized name in the auto valuation field. Many people use them every day to determine what their used car values are. The used car pricing that Edmunds gives users is what they call "True Market Value".
- Go to the Edmunds website
- Select the correct make of your car
- Select the correct year
- Select the correct model
- Select the option package: SX,LX,DX, etc.
- Select buy or sell, color, mileage, special options and overall condition
- Towards the bottom, click "Get pricing report"
- View results of your search
Check Local Dealerships
Local dealerships will tell you what they would give you as a trade-in value for your car if you were to buy a car from them. You won't be able to find out what your car is worth in a private party sale this way, but you can figure about $1000 to $1200 more than the trade in value.
Check the Papers
Your local newspaper's classified section can help to determine used car value price. Look for cars similar to your in the automotive classified where all the dealer ads are. Then go through the private party ads. Once you have a number of examples, take an average and you will have a pretty good idea of what your car is worth.

text: Does anyone here have advice on the best and simplest way to correct someone who holds to an Amillennial or preterist view? My daughter is dating a gentleman who comes from a Baptist background, used to believe pre-trib but has come to the conclusion that The Tribulation has already occured. I'm still trying to get out of him what he actually believes because so far it sounds like a mixed bag of theology. In our short conversations so far, he seems to hold to a form of replacement theology or the Church is spiritual Israel. My first step after prayer has been to listen to him and try to answer questions the best I can. Although I've personally come to the conclusion that R/T is wrong, trying to show others the error is more difficult. He seems to be well versed, studies scripture daily but so far is having trouble understanding that the Church and Israel are not the same. I believe he is a saved, born again believer but his theology concerns me. My daughter who has only been saved a few years holds to a dispensational pre-trib view but she has been challenged with defending the stance with someone who is well versed but incorrect imo. She has asked for our help and he was eager to speak with me about doctrine so I'm looking for advice from brothers and sisters who have dealt with simular situations. Where is the best place to start from? My first thought is to start with The Cross and salvation to make sure he has a firm grasp on that (I think he does) but his view on water baptism concerned me a little. What would be the next best place to show that Amillennialism is incorrect?

Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones Season 4 Finale: Will Daenerys Targaryen Die? Spoiler-Free Speculation!
The Game of Thrones Season 4 finale (Season 4, Episode 10, "The Children") is almost here, and that means it's time to start worrying about our favorite characters. After all, this is Game of Thrones we're talking about where no one is safe and we can never let our guard down.
Is it possible the Mother of Dragons herself will meet her end before Sunday's episode is done? Here we speculate about Daenerys Targaryen's (Emilia Clarke) possible fate — no spoilers included!
Here are a few reasons we're worried about the Last Targaryen.
1. She just sent away her greatest friend. Dany's cold dismissal of Jorah is exactly the kind of wrong move that Game of Thrones loves to punish. Wouldn't it be ironic if something bad happened that Jorah could have prevented?
2. She's been making a lot of enemies in Essos. It turns out going around overthrowing the ruling class in every city you can find makes as many enemies as it does friends. Dany's quest to do good has clearly pissed people off, and we wouldn't be surprised if a disenfranchised noble decided that assassination would be a quick fix to the problem.
3. Let's not forget Tywin. Thanks to Varys, Tywin is aware of Dany, her dragons, and her new claim to queenhood. While he's a little busy condemning his own son to death, it's possible the Lannister patriarch has also been plotting to rid himself of this Targ nuisance for good. As the Starks learned the hard way, being on Tywin's hit list is very, very dangerous.
1. There's no immediate threat. Tyrion has been sentenced to death. Jon Snow is about to try to kill the head of a giant army. There are real reasons to be concerned about them. Dany, on the other hand, is sitting relatively pretty right now. Yeah, she's made some enemies, but if she died this week it would fee completely random, and not in a good way.
2. Her plot must be going somewhere. Like, come on. There's no way we're spending all this time with Dany on a whole other continent just to have her die before she gets to Westeros, right? Right?!
3. Dragons! Dany is the only one who can control her dragons. We're pretty sure the dragons are going to come into play in a big fight down the line (otherwise, what's the point?). It follows that Dany will probably live long enough to at least ride one of her beasts into battle.
Do you think Dany could die? Let us know in the comments below.
Catch the Game of Thrones Season 4 finale on June 15, 2014, at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.

This Week at the Supreme Court
This week's big legal news story is the same sex marriage cases being heard at the United States Supreme Court on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Tuesday, the Court will hear oral arguments in Hollingsworth v. Perry, considering whether the Equal Protection Clause prohibits California from defining marriage as the union of a man and woman. On Wednesday, the Court will turn from Prop 8 to the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), as it hears arguments in the case of United States v. Windsor. There, the issue is whether Section 3 of DOMA violates the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection of the laws as applied to persons of the same sex who are legally married under the laws of their State.
There will be lots of coverage on these cases this week. An interesting pair of articles were published on SCOTUSblog the last two days, looking at the arguments made in the amicus briefs for these two cases. Part I of "Marriage and the Court's 'friends'" deals with the amicus briefs submitted for the Prop 8 case, while Part II looks at those filed in the DOMA case.

Sorry, I've been out of the loop because of papers and presentations. Let's start the score predictions..winner gets....TBA
Taylor 19 points
Clark 11
Gray 10
Wes J 8
Hubaluk 6
Dunson 5
Corey M. 4
Mardsen 2
I believe that the game will be dominated by Iowa in the first half and ISU rallies back to force overtime where ISU wins 73-71
Clark will get a triple double and Taylor will lead ISU with 26 points.
ISU 73-Iowa 65
ISU takes early lead, Iowa rallies back until the 10 minute mark of the 2nd, Rahshon Clark takes over and scores 10 in the final 10 minutes.
Taylor: 10 pts 8 dimes (yes 8)
RClark: 19 pts 14 boards
JGray: 9 pts 7 boards
McIntosh: 8 pts 7 dimes
Dunson: 3 pts 4 steals
Jiri: 6 pts 9 boards
WJohnson: 11 pts 8 boards
Haluska: 7 pts on 2-9 FG
I think yesterday they were saying there were about 2000 tickets left to the game. They had at least 4000 empty seats against UNI. Iowa basketball has taken a tailspin since the Tom Davis era and Alford has never lived up to the hype. I don't know a single Iowa fan amongst my friends that care for Alford and most hope that they have a terrible year every season just so they can finally can him and move on. Unfortunately Boy Wonder always seems to find a way to win in the Big 10 Tourney and save his job but maybe this season will finally be the final straw if they get dominated all year long.
Jiri has to have more than 6 points for us to win.
I think we lose by 5-10 points. Something like 70-64. I know that's a high score, but the crowd will be jacked up and I could see how two young teams could try and run a bit more with that much emotion in Carver.
I know this will make me a terrible fan, but I have yet seen the team play. So I am really excited to see what these kids can do.

It really befuddles me how this game is not sold out. Is it because it's on a friday night instead of a weekend? Are things hurting economically in Iowa right now? It's amusing how Iowa hoops has plummeted under the wonder boy Stevie. I just recall growing up in eastern Iowa as a kid, Iowa hoops was all the rage with Tom Davis coaching BJ Armstrong and that crew, I think Carver was selling out every game. It's probably a good thing for Alford that Ferentz had the football team playing at a high level which perhaps deflected Iowa fan focus more on football in the last 5-6 years, it just seems Iowa is more of a football school now that when Tom Davis was coaching Iowa.
If there are 2k tickets left, CYCLONE FANS OF EASTERN IOWA! ATTENTION! ATTEND TONIGHTS GAME!! MAKE IT HILTON EAST!!
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

They are hitting on 3 of 4 cylinders. Tonight, they need to reignite. Want to see more bodies hit the floor. More hustle is needed tonight at start of game.

just checked out the tix situation, best available for the following numbers is listed below. The lower seats are in the corners, but there really isn't a bad seat in there.
1 - Row 34
2 - Row 35
4 - Row 14 (oddly enough)
5 - Row 14
I think the last time it was in Iowa City it did not sell out either. Iowa's basketball attendance has been pretty bad the past few years. Hawk fans are just not excited about Alford and where the program is at. They really need to can Alford and bring in a guy to re-energize the program but for ISU's sake let's hope that doesn't happen soon. :)

I checked a few weeks ago at stubhub to see what some of the good seats people were selling for and there was a set of 4 tickets, center court, only a few rows up for about $50/seat. Try selling that ticket if the game is at Hilton and I think you'd be lucky to get it for about $100 a seat because those seats are probably worth more to our fans than the equivilant at Carver for Hawk fans.
I have enjoyed Marty Tirrell sticking it to the Hawks this week calling an 0-3 in-state for basketball and getting stomped by Texas at the Alamo. This is a guy who I thought usually spoke well of the Hawks too which I find funny that he's said he has thought about flying in to see the Drake game or going to Texas just so he can witness in person the dejected Hawk fans frustration and disappointment.
My mom just called from IC saying there were two free tickets sitting in her break room at work if I wanted to make the drive to Iowa City tonight. Free tickets and no hotel fees? I'm there!
Though the tickets probably came from a Hawkeye's season ticket package, so I'll probably be surrounded by Hawk fans. Anyone here going to be nearby section F row 29?
Go Sssssssssyclones!
i would love to go, but ill enjoy the game just as much at a sports bar here in ames..... 69-62
we finally get our TO's in control and the unsung hero is Jiri downlow
I'll go with a pessimistic 67-58 score, Hawks win. Crowd will have nothing to do with it.

In 1977, the Babb's family donated the
7-acre property to the Town of Suffield. To ensure the property
didn't further deteriorate, in 2003 CRC signed a lease with the Town
of Suffield to make "minor changes" to bring this historic building
up to code. However, changes now must include sprinklers and exits
for fire protection, new electrical and plumbing, new lighting,
tempered glass, a new roof, new restrooms, new party rooms and snack
bar, new supports underneath, a new septic sys-tem, a new water
line, heating and air con-ditioning, plus doors and ramps to meet
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). CRC needs your help to
make this family-fun dream a reality.

Since the 1890's, Babb's has
been part of the "fun scene" of our tri-state area, attracting
families from miles around. Babb's began as a camping, beach and
entertainment destination. By the 1940's it presented Big Bands like
Tommy Dorsey, Harry James and others. Then as a roller skating rink
in the 1950's it became "The Cool Place To Be." Many speak fondly of
meeting their future spouses there.

UK Traffic Law
Ask an UK Traffic Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
The level of proof required in employment law is the level in civil law which is on the "balance of probabilities" rather than the criminal level of "beyond all reasonable doubt"
As such the tribunal will look to see whether the employer's belief was reasonable rather than for conclusive evidence.
I hope this explains the position. If there are any further points please reply.
Best wishes
Yours sincerely
Dear Zeeshan
It does not seem clear to me even on the balance of probabilities that you stole his computer, it looks like he just abandoned it.
The fact that the laptop was lost on a flight whilst you were working for the company and then was found at your house is enough circumstantial evidence for an employer to dismiss.In this situation you would have to come up with a very convincing explanation as to how it could have got there any other way.If Fahad had also worked for BMI then it could have been him who took it.
Because the hard drive of the computer can be checked and because computers have registration numbers the police are obviously sure this was the passenger's computer. Having a statement from someone else saying that it was their computer will not be enough because of that fact.To help you a statement will have to explain how your friend ended up with that passengers computer in their possession and it will have to be a believable explanation.Otherwise all the circumstantial evidence points to you.
There would have to be a great deal of detail about how he acquired it. Obviously it was stolen so he could not have obtained it in normal retail shops.Even then it remains a massive co incidence that it happened to be the same computer that was stolen at your work.I think you will be convicted by the court.

The American credit card community is buzzing with excitement over the upcoming debut of chip and PIN credit and debit cards. Also known as EMV credit cards, these pieces of plastic are an upgrade from the magnetic "stripe and sign" cards that we currently use in two distinct ways.
The most obvious difference is that chip and PIN cards store a cardholder's account information on an embedded radio chip rather than a magnetic stripe. These chips are much harder to hack than magnetic stripes, and they allow for "contactless" transactions that use wireless reading machines to process the card from a distance. On top of that, they use a debit-style PIN code to verify transactions. Unlike the traditional method of signing for purchases, a PIN code can't be forged if the card is stolen.
Unfortunately, even though these EMV cards are certainly a welcome addition to the market, they're not going to bring about the sort of revolution that many Americans are hoping for. Yes, you'll start to see television commercials from Chase and Wells Fargo suggesting otherwise, but the truth is the truth.
Here are a few reasons why chip and PIN credit cards won't save the world:
- They're old news. EMV credit cards are sure to be touted as revolutionary, but Europeans have been using them since 1994. In fact, one of the main reasons these cards are finally being issued in the U.S. is to appease American travelers who are tired of being unable to use their outdated credit cards overseas.
- They're not that secure. While the radio chips that EMV cards use might have been completely secure 17 years ago, a lot has changed since then. Europe has learned the hard way that these cards aren't perfect, and the introduction of phone-mounted wireless card readers makes them even more dangerous, since thieves can now steal the information on these cards just by walking close to you on the street. Even the PIN system isn't totally safe anymore – thieves can mount hidden thermal imaging cameras on ATMs and gas pumps that use your lingering heat signature to decode your combination.
- There's a better way. As you might suspect given that chip and PIN technology is now 17 years old, there are even newer and better types of credit cards making their way onto the market. For Americans, moving to these cards is like upgrading from Windows 98 to Windows Vista rather than Windows 7. Stores in Brooklyn have already started to accept digital credit card "apps" for Droids and iPhones, and multi-account cards known as "credit card 2.0s" have also started to get attention from the tech community.
In many ways, EMV credit cards are a good thing for American consumers. In some ways, they're a great thing. American travelers will finally have credit cards that work outside of the country, and while our hometown thieves are figuring out how to hack the chips, the rest of us will be able to enjoy a period of security. But it won't take very long for criminals to figure out how to exploit these American EMV cards. They've done it before, after all, in Europe. Therefore, we should welcome chip and PIN credit cards as a band-aid rather than a suture and continue to push for even safer credit-card technology in the near future.

There's a parody/hoax happening on Bitbucket where a simplistic redaction of feminism conjoined with a lot of fake code is being put up to tempt the naive, I assume, to create a "feminist" programming language that will turn out to be bogus, a la the infamous hoax perpetuated against Lacanian critical theory long ago. It's a trap, I gather, so that anyone who participates will be revealed to be silly, uninformed, and the whole enterprise fraudulent. Really? Is that the best one can do with a serious issue that most of the world realizes deserves serious debate? Personally, I'd avoid any part of this conversation that isn't a respectful engagement. Caveat emptor. The mudslinging and name calling and reductionism are not what Ari Schlesinger's posts on feminism and programming (either the original or the follow up) are about.
It's been astonishing to see how much response and discussion her post has received. It's great to see how many programmers realize that the concerns she raises are real and important. And, of course, it is sad and dismaying that some programmers are so defensive or so isolated that they seemingly are not aware that issues surrounding gender and technology are among the most pressing in the programming world today. and surprising that th
I give a lot of talks now at corporations dedicated to technology innovation. Within fifteen minutes, I always hear that the single biggest problem in that world is lack of diversity. CEOs and CIOs don't see it as a problem for women but a problem for technology: you cannot create technology for a very diverse world (in every sense) with a homogenous core of developers and managers. They find it to be a major problem and are funding ways of changing the problem to the tune of billions of dollars a year worldwide. No one knows what to do but no one in that world is sanguine about the fact that the number of women entering the field of computer science has declined since 1993 when the Mosaic 1.0 browser was released to the general public and the "Information Age" officially began.
That's a problem. So is the 9%-14% (the numbers vary depending on what and who you count) representation of women among editors of Wikipedia. We have a major cultural, social, political, and economic issue here and everyone in the tech world is aware of it.
Please put the parodies aside, folks. This is a real, serious issue. Getting to the root problem is essential in real, practical terms as well as in theoretical terms. Ari Schlesinger is performing a real service to the profession by provoking serious conversation on these matters.
Needless to say, since many people are researching this topic (both scholars and those in the business community alarmed by the problem of lack of diversity), all the responses--positive as well as negative--are part of the data and evidence about attitudes towards women, gender, and feminism that pervade the culture of programmers and other technology designers. I'm fascinated, of course, that there was such a quick, voluminous backlash. Why? Anyone who studies the history of programming languages should be aware that there is a long history (going back to the very beginning of cybernetics) of wondering how the ones and zeros of binary code actually encode cultural values at the deepest level. Since language is the basis of code and language encodes values, code does too. This is also true in other areas, aside from and apart from gender, including for those who live in cultures where language itself is far less binaristic than Indo-European languages. It has long been argued, for example, that ideogram languages (Chinese, Japanese, etc), for example, do not map well onto binary code. These are deep not trivial issues.
We invite your comments and your disagreements although, as always with HASTAC, we are an open community that promotes difference through thoughtful, civil, engaged, respectful exchange.
Snide parody? Name-calling? Slander? Hoaxes? Trolls? There's no place for those in a world where there are real and important issues that will benefit from all of us thinking together about how we can do better.

Company mullls Rs 1,174-crore modernisation plan for Trombay Thermal power plant.
TATA Power has proposed cost reduction for its Mumbai customers through modernisation of its 500 MW Unit 6 at the Trombay Thermal Power Station in the city.
The Rs 1,174-crore modernisation plan includes addition of the latest state-of-the-art coal firing equipment and installation of pollution control equipment to make the unit work on coal, oil and gas wherein all three fuels can be combined in any percentage. Currently, the Trombay unit can operate only on oil and gas.
The company said modernisation will improve utilisation of full capacity of 500 MW at best operating efficiency resulting in competitive, reliable and enhanced power supply availability. It will also reduce fuel cost and thus help lower tariffs for Mumbai customers.
This is being done in the spirit of 100 years of reliable, affordable and continued power supply to the city of Mumbai and to control spiraling oil cost, which is affecting tariffs in Mumbai, TATA Power said in a statement.
The modernisation will include installation of pollution control equipment like 100 per cent electro static precipitators (ESPs) and flue gas desulfurisation (FGD) systems to maintain emissions at current controlled level. The use of state-of-the-art pollution control equipment will ensure that the current emission levels are maintained and dont incrementally impact the environment. Thus modernisation will not result in any additional pollution/emission in Chembur and neighbouring areas. Moreover, no additional water or any other resource is being sought to operate the modernised plant, it said.
S Padmanabhan, executive director Tata Power said, We see costs of oil and gas rising and thus have proposed modernisation, which will help reduce costs and ensure higher utilisation of capacity. Tata Power as always remains committed to provide clean and affordable power to its customers in Mumbai, like it has done for last 100 years now.
The dire need for modernisation has risen due to unavailability of natural gas, which has resulted in Tata Power being dependent on expensive fuel like oil to run its Unit 6. However, shortage of low sulphur oil from local refineries and spiraling prices of imported oil and gas, have led to significant escalation in the absolute cost of power generation from this unit.
Consequently, the 500 MW Unit, which was previously operating at a best operating PLF at 80 per cent, is now operating at around 50 per cent PLF

The Andrews Sisters were an American close harmony singing group of the swing and boogie-woogie eras. The group consisted of three sisters: contralto LaVerne Sophia (July 6, 1911 – May 8, 1967), soprano Maxine Angelyn "Maxene" (January 3, 1916 – October 21, 1995), and mezzo-soprano Patricia Marie "Patty" (February 16, 1918 – January 30, 2013). The Andrews Sisters were born in Minnesota to a Greek immigrant father a Norwegian American mother. Both parents encouraged their daughters' musical endeavors with Patty being just 7 years old when the sisters formed their singing group. The sisters gained local recognition in their home town imitating another famous singing group The Boswell...

I was invited to present Laughter Yoga to a group of seniors at an assisted living center this week, something I have not done since leaving Alice Lorraine Care Center, the elderly care facility I founded in 1994 and named after my own grandmother, more than one year ago. Seniors were my business for many, many years, but Wednesday, I realized, although laughter is very necessary, I am not as young as I used to be. I left the Center so exhausted; I literally fell asleep while driving on my way home! They really pooped me out….but we had a good session!
When working with the elderly, one must remember that although they might not understand or even appreciate humor, they still LOVE to laugh…and for the most part, they will laugh for absolutely NO reason, if you laugh! You smile at them, they smile back at you; you laugh, they laugh; you sing, they sing. One lady told me I should be careful, because "they" ignore people with white hair – I told her mine was dyed, so I should not have any problems and she thought that was hysterically funny!
Of course, when I had my own facility, I laughed with my residents, as well as my staff, on a daily basis and pretty much gave up the idea of laughing in a group, because the majority were so low functioning, they were unable to either hear or understand; however, this group was functioning at bit higher level. I have been opposed to wearing hats, costumes, etc, but after my experience with them, I must re-think that stance. Although I remain opposed to "hat sharing" amongst the residents, I do think a colorful, not-too-wild, costume would be a plus for the laughter facilitator. Not only would the resident be more visually stimulated, but it would also make it much easier (at least for me!) to get into the exaggerated, slightly wacky mood that would enable a sillier than usual attitude, necessary to keep their attention and keep the facilitator "up".
Laughing with the elderly requires a lot of individual attention, but otherwise, it is doing what one always has done with teasing, nonsense, and clowning, but in an even more exaggerated way….and it wore this senior out. Next time I will "dress" for the affair and go with the flow!
Attached is a video I made of the last HaHaHalloween I spent with the residents of my facility….gotta say, they loved the hats and I loved seeing them light up when they were all decked out!

The Art of Science is devoted to bringing to light the collaboration and integration of the art and science worlds to create amazing products or breakthroughs.
This blog was created to showcase the combination of art and science, either in science's application to artistic endeavours, or in how art has helped move science forward. Art and Science have historically been seen as two sides of the same coin, and yet in the 20th and 21st centuries we seem to have moved away from that view, and instead have created two very isolated, abstract fields. The (perhaps lofty) goal of this blog is to exemplify that these two fields are not polar opposites and in fact can benefit from each other. People in both the "science" and "art" camps tend to believe they are working towards different goals, or that the other camp has it all wrong. But in fact both camps only have it half right.
I am a science writer, researcher, and blogger, with a deep passion for art and design. I have explored this combination of art and science through writing, film, and other media. I also received a Masters in Anthropology that focused on both the art and science behind the sport of parkour.
This blog took a break during 2012, but is now back up and running. You can also follow me on mentalflowers.wordpress.com.

i love your blog; and would urge you to attend the Light in Winter Festival in Ithaca, NY next January. We are the first festival to celebrate the synergy of art and science, and served as the inspiration for the new World Science Festival in NY. Do check us out!

Hi there
Love the blog.
I just wanted to let you know about my art which, with the help of some good friends, have launched (finally) on the web with a website and shops selling original art and a whole range of cool products (the things you can do on the web now)
The art is at http://www.atomicart.net
So, yes, thank you for your blog and I look forward to reading more over the years.

Looking forward to getting updates. I definitely agree about both sides (science and art) each having it half right. Hope you'll put Visual Science on your blog roll.

Wow, it took me a while, but i found you. I've been searching, ever since i created my blog, for a blog that focussed on the nexus of art and science as I do! Finnally glad to meet a blogger with similar intentions!
I've only just started blogging and so my posts are a bit rusty, but i can't wait for what I should be able to bring in the near future as I have a close relationship with the Royal Institute of Australia (the sister chapter of the Royal Institute of Great Britian) since becoming a volunteer there. Some of my posts already feature content from there and will do so greatly in the future!
Next week i hope to have some science inspired hai-ku!😀 So I'd love if you would become a regular reader and as i'm sure i will be of yours!

I imagine that, after spending four to five years of your life creating a game, to see it (from that perspective) being shat upon by critics is a hard pill to swallow. It is even more difficult when you believe that your creation is good. It is at these moments that the urge to go on defense is natural, but how far is going too far?
That is the subject of an article by Ben Kuchera over at Ars Technica. The game in question is an Xbox Live Arcade title called Hydrophobia and the zealous defenders are UK-based Dark Energy Digital. At first, it seemed like the game was going to sail through the review circuit relatively unscathed. Official Xbox Magazine and IGN gave it decent scores, which the company's PR department happily plastered all over the game's official web site. Some other smaller sites gave it some decent scores as well. All seemed right with the world.
Then Edge Magazine came along. Edge isn't not known for wearing the velvet gloves when it reviews a game, and it's Hydrophobia review was pretty brutal. An excerpt from said review:
"Protagonist Kate Wilson is a forgettable nonentity as she whines and wails her way through every linear section. The maps themselves are multi-tiered chores that require little initiative to navigate, the storytellers all too eager to intervene with a directional soundbite or, worse, a piece of the story that involves hackneyed terrorists and a perpetually raving, arrogant Scottish mentor."
Reading the review made Dark Energy Digital's PR very angry, apparently. While we do not know what kind of interactions the company had with Edge Magazine, we do know that Dark Energy Digital was not satisfied with the results, so they talked to VG247. Some quotes from the Ars article:
Deborah Jones is the creative director of Dark Energy Digital, the developer of Hydrophobia. "Clearly, they haven't played the game," she told VG247. "We're extremely frustrated by the review. We've got reviews that are absolutely outstanding that say they love the product… If they don't do the review properly, they shouldn't do a review at all."
"We believe that the game hasn't even been played," joint creative director Peter Jones repeated.
Edge later responded, saying that the (unnamed) reviewer played the game to its finish and played the bonus content.There are a number of other questionable things that Jones and friends did to other journalists, but we will leave the telling of those tales to the Ars Technica article.
The point is that you can go too far in defending your game. Most journalists expect some pushback when they write a negative review. There is certainly nothing wrong with PR giving journalists a piece of their mind either, but leveling accusations like "you didn't play the game" or "you didn't play the game right" are very serious and more damaging to the company's reputation than to a publication. The moral of the story is that you cannot control the message – especially when that message is on the Internet.
[Full disclosure: I have not played Hydrophobia and cast no aspersions on the game.]

text: I am training to run very fast behind my friends bike with my bow and wanted to know how many mph she should pedal. I am trying to get in shape for bow hunting season so when she rides her bike I run behind her (sort of chasing) her with my bow (not in the drawn position). She wants to know if she is in "2" and "6" and pedaling as fast as she can how fast is she going? This speed is frustrating to me though because I can not keep up (regardless of how many arrows I am carrying). Any thoughts?

Thanks for allowing Dragon Boat Festival
As a full time resident of Lewes, and both a volunteer and participant in the recent Lewes Dragon Boat Festival, I wanted to provide my perspective of the event.
Although there were those in the community who questioned if our town should host an event of this size/nature I think the results speak for themselves. Both sides of the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal were lined with spectators, including patrons at Irish Eyes. The inaugural event is something that Lewes can and should showcase in the future as our community embraces its maritime heritage and a healthy outdoor lifestyle.
The festival was not only about the participants, but was truly a family affair as there were folks of all ages in Lewes Canalfront Park taking advantage of one of our city's crown jewels. I want to thank the Lewes City Council for allowing the Dragon Boat Festival to happen this past year as well as acknowledge the immense amount of work that the organizers put into this unique event.
Although the soreness in my shoulder reminds me of the pain associated with paddling, I cannot wait to volunteer and participate again next year.

By AIDIL RUSLI
By now it's widely acknowledged that Japanese director Kore-eda Hirokazu is a master. Although he's made all sorts of films, from the high-concept fantasy After Life (1998) to the boy-meets-blowup-doll tale Air Doll(2009) and the gentle samurai film Hana (2006), it was with his trio of "family" films Nobody Knows(2004), Still Walking (2008) and I Wish (2011) that people started comparing him to Japanese legend Yasujiro Ozu and accorded him that status.
With his latest film Like Father, Like Son, a Jury Prize winner at last year's Cannes Film Festival, those plaudits are not looking like they'll dry up anytime soon. On the surface, this looks to be Kore-eda's most conventional and commercial film to date.
Its plot, which involves baby-switching, is nothing new. It has Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children, Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson and countless TV soap operas as antecedents. It is the stuff that tearjerkers are made of.
It's in the telling that Kore-eda proves his mettle. We enter directly into the lives of the Nonomiyas: successful architect dad Ryota (Fukuyama Masaharu), dutiful wife and mom Midori (Ono Machiko) and the adorably cute Keita (Keita Ninomiya) who is struggling to live up to his father's expectations through piano lessons and private school entrance exams.
After about 15 minutes, the film abruptly drops a bomb: Keita was switched at birth. We are then plunged into the lives of another family, the Saikis, who raised the Nonomiyas' real son Ryusei as their own, and whose real son is Keita.
The plot seems to set us up for another one of those typical Asian family melodramas as the well-off Nonomiyas are contrasted with the lower-middle-class Saikis, who comprise unambitious shopkeeper Yudai (Lily Franky), his wife Yukari (Maki Yoko), eldest son Ryusei (Shogen Whang) and two other children.
The uptight, cold and strict Ryota is contrasted with the warm and playful Yudai as the patriarchs of the two very different families, and it's clear that the film is setting up Ryota to be the "bad guy" so he can be knocked off his perch and redeemed by the film's end. Like all the other great humanist directors, Kore-eda is always smart enough to never judge, choosing to again live by Jean Renoir's famous motto that "everyone has their reasons".
As bad as Ryota may obviously seem, it is also quite patently clear that Yudai is no angel as well.
The fact that his wife Yukari is clearly the one wearing the pants in the family is a hilarious running joke throughout the film.
The film does not shy away from the family's likely fate if she fails to do just that, with a husband whose personal philosophy is only half-jokingly professed as "never do today what you can put off until tomorrow".
This generosity of spirit and wise understanding of human nature is echoed throughout the film, from the most minor characters up to the major ones. Even Ryota's emotionally distant father and "second mother", subtly hinted at as the probable reason for Ryota's cold and strict treatment of his family, receive a fair shake at getting some sort of understanding from the audience.
There are even plenty of laughs as both families are told by the hospital's doctors and lawyers that the normal solution to this problem is by eventually swapping their children back, hopefully after a successful trial period of gradual sleepovers and exchange, resulting in plenty of rib-tickling and touching fish-out-of-water situations between the boys and their new families.
Ever the understated and efficient storyteller, Kore-eda has crafted a shining example of revealing character through actions and glances, best exemplified by the film's incredibly moving and beautifully staged climax.
Ultimately, this is a wonderful tearjerker for the whole family, but delivered with a touch of class and none of the cheap theatrics that you might expect from stories of this kind. It's rare that you can catch a gift this sublime in Malaysian cinemas. Now that you can, what are you waiting for?

Canadians cut border staff by 9 percent - more delays at border crossings
Canada's border staff will be stretched thinner next financial year. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) which conducts immigration and customs checks of motorists from the US has given notice of job termination to 1,100 staff, 325 being front line border inspectors. That's the result of a budget adopted last month which intends to cut the cost to taxpayers of CBSA by C$143m over three years.
The number terminated is about 9 percent of the total CBSA workforce. The US Customs and Border Protection division of the Department of Homeland Security is even shorter staffed than the Canadians.
On both sides of the border delays getting through border inspection lanes are the major cause of backups and congestion on the US-Canada bridges. It is already common for inspection lanes to be closed for lack of staff to man them even at peak travel times, border crossing toll operators say.
The problem would be aggravated if Governor Rick Snyder and the Canadians were to build their new bridge crossing between Detroit and Windsor. Border inspection staff would be spread thinner than now.
It's not that there is a lot of traffic Michigan-Ontario - a mere 50,000 vehicles a day total (18m/yr) on three crossings (Blue Water Bridge, Detroit Windsor Tunnel and Ambassador Bridge), about the same as is handled on a single crossing of the Delaware River between New Jersey and Pennsylvania on either DRJTBC's I-78 or I-80 toll bridges, and hardly more than a half that handled on the DRBA's Delaware Memorial Bridge between the New Jersey and Delaware turnpikes (17m each way).

Typhoon Haiyan which ripped through the Philippines over a week ago has been described as one of the most powerful typhoons ever to hit land, leaving thousands dead and hundreds of thousands homeless. Countries all over the world have pledged relief aid to help support those affected by the typhoon however damage to the airport and roads have made moving the aid into the most affected areas very difficult. With dead bodies left out in the open air and very limited food, water and shelter, health concerns are growing. More Photos: Typhoon Haiyan slams the Philippines

Yesterday was the worst weather I've encountered the entire winter. I've ridden through wind and snow for the last few weeks, but the freezing rain yesterday was not fun. The roads were covered with a solid 1/4" layer of ice. Walking on this stuff was near impossible.
Due to a bead failure on one of my Innova Studded winter tires (700Cx35) I had bought a replacement Nokia W106 as Peter White had them in stock and shipping from NH to NY is two days or less. Yesterday is the first day I could actually feel a difference between the tires, and now by body will feel it for the next few days.
While going around a sharp bend I had slowed down so that I could make a very gentle turn. As I started to turn the Nokia tires were able to keep their grip, but the rear Innova's lost their grip and the bike did an abrupt 180 and the bike slipped out from under me. I hit the pavement with my elbow and passed a nice jolt into my shoulder. Clearly the studds on the Nokia stay out beyond the outer layer of the tire as these are hardend carbite. The steel studds in the Innova grind level with the tire, and in all other conditions this year that has been sufficient. With real ice on the road, this difference is enough to have made me crash. My shoulder will be feeling that difference for a while:(
In short on ice the Nokia tires are clearly supperior to the Innova tires. On all the wother snowy wintery conditions, the Innovas have appeared to work equally well to the Nokias.
Happy riding,

A tenancy in common cannot be severed - it is only a joint tenancy which may be severed so that co-owners then hold as tenants in common.

Kind regards,
I can confirm that the property is currently held as tenancy in common.
How would i be able to change this into just my name as my ex partner no longer wants anything to do with the property?
Any transfer of the title would need the consent of your lender. They hold a charge over the property which prevents any transfer without their consent.
I note you say you are amending the mortgage, you need to make sure that they are happy for you to receive a mortgage offer in your sole name. If they are then you may be able to ask them to also deal with the remortgage and transfer of the registered title in your sole name in house.
If they cannot then you will have to instruct a local conveyancer to do this for you, the mortgage company will probably insist upon it. Needless to say, your partner will have to sign the Land Registry transfer form give effect to the transfer of the registered title in to your sole name.

And don't forget, there is also a free family fun day on both occasions, with a host of activities in the Villa Park Indoor Academy starting three hours before kick-off.
You can buy tickets in person at either Villa Village or New Street, on the phone at 0800 612 0970 or from our online box office.

Inaugurated in 1986, the award recognizes an individual who is an "extraordinary artist (actor, director or writer) in the entertainment industry, who is fully engaged in his or her work and is committed to making a significant contribution to the art of the motion picture."
