This is one of the most important issues for the future of human civilization: Who owns your genetic code? Based on existing U.S. law, the corporations own it. Right now, over 20% of your genetic code is owned by biotech corporations (this is a fact). But the U.S. Justice Department has just issued a "friend of the court" briefing that looks poised to overturn this, driving a stake through the heart of the intellectual property monster known as the biotech industry.
This is a major reversal of decades of U.S. policy. If the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) enforces this new ruling, it would mean an end to all biotech patents on human genes. Effectively, it would set our genetic codefree from corporate domination.
Human genes are part of nature, not a human invention
In its brief, the Dept of Justice argued that genes should not be patentable because they are part of nature:
"The chemical structure of native human genes is a product of nature, and it is no less a product of nature when that structure is 'isolated' from its natural environment than are cottonfibers that have been separated from cotton seeds or coal that has been extracted from the earth…" (http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packag…)
This makes sense, of course — it's the same thing I've been arguing here on NaturalNews for years. To allow corporations to own even a small part of the human genome is a pathway tohuman slavery. We have been headed down that path for a long time, and now for the first time it appears things may be turning for the better.
The insanity of modern patent law
Few reasonable people would argue that U.S. patent law as it exists today makes any real sense in the first place. Patents are supposed to offer legal protection for "man-made inventions." The whole idea that you can patent human genes is ridiculous from the outset.
Human genetic code was obviously not invented by humans, and especially not by one person or corporation. To grant a corporation an intellectual property monopoly over even a single human gene is an affront to human heritage and a violation of natural law. That this has already happened is a crime against humanity.
Theoretically, such patents actually give corporations the right to charge royalties when couples reproduce because by having a baby, you are "replicating" a patented gene without permission. Thus, you could be guilty of patent violation and be forced to pay a royalty to the patent owner.
Fast forward this a few decades under a country controlled by corporate interests, and you can see where it ends up: Just to have a baby, you might have to pay $100,000 in royalty payments to dozens of different corporations who own "your" genetic code. This would all be enforced by local police officers and sheriffs who might arrest you at gunpoint for your acts of "corporate piracy" (getting pregnant).
Don't think it could happen? Check out the history of the RIAA and its intellectual property war against the people. Look at what Monsanto has done to farmers who accidentally grew GMOcrops because the GMO seeds blew into their fields. Look what Myriad Genetics is doing right now with its patent on human breast cancer genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 — it's charging$3,000 a pop to run a simple test that determines whether women carry those genes.
Make no mistake: When you hand monopoly control to a corporation, that corporation will exploit it to its fullest extent, even if it means destroying human lives in the process.
Why stop at genes? Seeds should also be set free
If the USPTO disallows all patents on human genes, then by the same logic there should be no patents allowed on seeds or animals, either. The patenting of seeds is yet another method by which powerful corporations like Monsanto and DuPont may effectively enslave the human race by controlling the food supply.
To remove patent protection from seeds is to destroy the seed monopolies that these dangerous, destructive corporations depend on to enforce their control over the seed supply. And it is due to patent protection on seeds that we have already lost a tremendous amount of seed diversity in the agricultural seed markets.
Patents on genes and seeds are the enemy of freedom. They are the shackles that keepfarmers and consumers enslaved by corporate interests. To see that these patents now have the potential to be disallowed entirely gives us a glimmer of hope that corporate domination over the human race may be effectively resisted.
Because, let's face it: If governments of the world continue to hand over our genes, seeds andmedicines to the monopolistic, greed-driven corporations that have already destroyed our farms, contaminated our food supply and poisoned our bodies with synthetic chemicals, then the People of the world will ultimately be driven to the point of armed, violent resistance against their corporate oppressors. There is only so much tyranny the People will take before they rise up against their oppressors and fight back.
Today's decision by the Dept of Justice may have averted that future bloodshed scenario — at least over the issue of genes and seeds. Long-term peace can only emerge when the People have their freedom and do not feel as if they are living under the threat of constant oppression by governments, corporations or other institutions of power. Every social revolution in the history of human civilization has involved a popular uprising against institutions that violated natural law and human freedom. And patents on genes and seeds are a violation of natural law.
Patents on many of Big Pharma's drugs are also a violation of natural law
For several years now, I have publicly called for all patents on genes, seeds and animals to be declared invalid. I've even gone further, calling for all patents on medicines to also be declared invalid, although such a move is highly unlikely to take place anytime soon.
Can you imagine what would happen to Big Pharma if all the chemicals they stole from Mother Nature and then patented were suddenly declared "open source?"
Big Pharma would collapse within a year, and the citizens of the USA would be set free to pursue natural medicine that works rather than conventional medicine forced upon them under a monopolistic racket protected by the FDA and the USPTO.
Medicine should belong to the People, especially when much of it is sourced from plants in the first place. I believe that the People have a natural right to water, natural medicine, seedsand their own genes, too. To impede the public's access to such natural, global resources is a violation of natural law and should be resisted by any and all means necessary.

Last Meal: Steak and Potatoes for Chino Loco
Daniel Parilla, the executive chef at 5Ninth, is best known as "Chino," a nickname he got when working in a Chinese restaurant in Philadelphia. "It's a common moniker for anyone Asian," said Parilla, who is Filipino. "The Mexican guys called everyone 'Chino,' and then I was 'Chino Loco.' A kitchen is like being on a sailboat," he said. "Or a football team." As for his last meal, Chino was the first person we've interviewed to insist on adhering to death row guidelines. Or almost.
You're on death row, or whatever, and you can have anything you want. Is it like, just one dish, a tasting? Are there rules?
No rules. Some people would travel around the world ... But, if you're on death row, you can't leave the compound.
Well, yeah. If you want to keep it strict, that would be noble. I just want it to be known that I'm taking into consideration the death row stipulations. Considering that, I would have a bone-in, dry-aged ribeye, 64 ounces center-cut; with garlic mashed potatoes, chunky and home-style; and creamy spinach. With garlic-mushroom Bordelais葉hat's my sauce. And a big bottle of barolo. A magnum! You get one drink, you know, on death row.

IDF Declares West Bank Protest Villages a 'Closed Military Area'
Police cite military edict restricting movement in Bil'in and and Na'alin until August.
The army has declared the West Bank villages of Bil'in and Na'alin a 'closed military area' until August 17, it emerged Monday.
In arresting a demonstrator on Friday, police cited a military edict closing off the two villages, where weekly protests against the barrier Israel is erecting around the West Bank have often turned violent.
Bil'in residents told Haaretz that late on Friday night dozens of soldiers, some of them masked, deployed throughout the village to post notices of the order, signed on February 17 by the chief of army Central Command, Gen. Avi Mizrahi.
The ruling, which will stay in force six months, applies to land that lies between the separation fence and built up areas in Bil'in.
In Na'alin, restrictions apparently cover the entire village, including residential areas.
For over five years the two villages have seen often violent, and twice fatal, clashes between activists and security forces during regular Friday demonstrations.
In the past year the IDF and the security service, Shin Bet, have tried a variety of tactics to end the protests, including mass arrests, night operations, restrictions on the movement of Israeli activists and the arrest of minors - prompting a military court to declare the measures inappropriate.
On Sunday a Bil'in activist, Iyad Burnat, was summoned for talks with Shin Bet officers, around an hour after sending out an emailed report of last week's protests entitled "the third intifada [uprising] is knocking at the door".
At the time of publication, the army had not yet responded to requests by Haaretz for information on the closures.

I have only owned mine for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately I've had to return it to my dealer because the keys hadn't been smoothed properly! How annoying! I'm sure this is an isolated case so if you're considering buying the Karma (which I at least urge you to check out) don't be put off by this.
So, since I have only had this monster of a synth for just a couple of weeks I certainly haven't seen half of what it can do (well, I've probably seen only a fraction). Each time I have a session I experience something new. The sound quality is exceptional. It plays through my stereo system like a dream.
I would like to warn you that it's not easy to get to grips with. It is VERY POWERFUL but that means VERY COMPLICATED at the same time. Nevertheless, you'll want to make time to play this synth. I've only just explored the sequencer so I can't comment anymore than it appears to be very sophisticated and probably quite easy to use (I would imagine!).
On the downside (there aren't many) some of the pads are weak - notably the cello - but you can always tweak them. It's pretty expensive too but you could spend half the price and end up with something completely inferior. It's worth every penny, believe me!
When I walked into my local dealer one saturday afternoon my mind was almost set on buying an XP-60. A classic synth, plenty of pads, a good sequencer and a very good reputation - until I had a go on the Karma. You'll find this strange but when I first started playing on the Karma I wasn't immediately impressed. You have to get past the cheezy demo programs to experience the delightful range of ambient waves. Also, I felt the synth was happier playing itself rather than being played by a novice. The Karma function does seem to want to take over but once you discover how to tame the lion you'll realise YOU ARE THE MASTER and the synth is the slave. This is a FANTASTIC synthesiser!!!! After only 30mins with the Karma I agreed to buy one. I took mine home that day.
I'm now looking forward to receiving my new Karma - hopefully with the keyboard in decent working order! (fingers crossed)
My final comment: Every home should have a Karma
There, of course are keyboard purists who will scoff at the "Fisher Price..My first synth" (to quote a former reviewer), but that's what Logic Audio is for.. grab you favorite plug-ins, effects.. whatever, and lay out some tight tracks.. then modify them real-time to make something totally different.. Its intuitive abililty to create something new is astounding, and more than just a "toy".. It can be used, you just have to learn how to use it!
By the way, I make Ambient/Techno./New Age on mp3
2 tracks I have made with the Karma:
 Instant Karma
 Revolution
Enjoy the tunes. Forgive me for promotion, but I wanted to give credit to the creative possibilities of the KARMA. Peace!
: Enjoy, and whatever you do, If you have the mind of a musician, you can be creative and explore new musical realms.. if you allow yourself to be open to the possibilities. Get into the Karma, it is a deep, intutitive instrument, that if given time, can give the patient muscian new avenues to explore..
Thanks for listening.. Michael www.mp3.com/ambientrip (one more time)

Pot-growing wannabes in 34 of 39 counties in state
After the first week of applications for pot-business licenses, it's apparent people want to grow weed all over Washington state.
Aspiring growers are seeking licenses in 34 of 39 counties, from Benton to Yakima, in a total of 444 applications.
The counties without growing applicants — Adams, Asotin, Columbia, Garfield and Wahkiakum — have a combined population of just more than 50,000.
Retail stores were not quite as popular, with 158 applicants for 334 state stores. But a number of…

The world and its granny knows that John Lewis provides you with everything you need from cradle to grave. Less well known, however, is the recent change to its recruitment programme, which from September will run two brand new career tracks – a buying graduate scheme and a merchandising graduate scheme.
For the first time, students wanting a career in buying will no longer have to apply for the general management option and work their way into head office. Instead, they can apply to start at entry level with the aim of becoming an assistant buyer and then, within three to five years, source products globally and manage multi-million budgets.
Sophie Milliken, the group's graduate recruitment manager, says they are looking for people with flair, vision and a passion for the John Lewis ethos of good service to customers and profit sharing for staff who become "partners" in the business. "Buyers have to be confident people who can negotiate a great price while maintaining our principles of trading fairly," she says.
The merchandising option needs people with analytical skills who can look at the numbers and forecast product sales. "We're looking for people with maths skills who are good at thinking logically. They will work alongside the buyers. The buyer might see a range of products and say 'wow', and the merchandiser has to bring them down to earth and start talking about units and figures," says Milliken.
The money isn't half bad, either. Graduate trainees start on £24,000 plus the partnership bonus, while an assistant buyer can earn £23,600 to £32,800. Fully-fledged buyers earn between £43,000 and £87,250 plus bonus. The head of buying can earn six figures. John Lewis has recently recruited 220 staff for its new Croydon "at home" store, with 350 more jobs available soon for stores in Swindon and Tunbridge Wells.
The rise and rise of private banking
While the Government bails out commercial banks, there's one sector still booming – private banking. These are the bankers who look after the money for affluent individuals. According to Barclays Wealth, the global wealth management division of Barclays, private banking is one of the fastest growing parts of the financial services industry.
"Despite the recent economic downturn, the number of wealthy people is steadily growing, and their demands for ever more sophisticated products and levels of service are on the increase," says Sarah Hart, the European head of diversity for Barclays Wealth. This year, the bank has hired 60 graduates, and will be raising its recruitment levels even further to 80-plus in their 2011 round, which starts this August.
"Gone are the days of private bankers needing just a little black book of clients, a good swing on the golf course and a Diners [Club] Card," says Hart. "Private bankers are dealing with an increasingly sophisticated and demanding client base and need to know about a never-ending array of products and services," she says.
The graduate development programme lasts three years and includes support for the chartered financial analyst qualification. "Private banking is a forgotten career," says Sajaad Jetha, director of the graduate recruitment and advisory firm The Smarty Train. "But it makes an excellent choice for the graduate who wants to combine analytical skills and working with people."

Watch One Car Too Far
Through these episodes the men must use their unique talents and skills to battle the harsh and unforgiving climates. Luckily though, Bill Wu is an expert car enthusiasts and knows the in's and out's of cars. Gary on the other hand(being a solider) is a more hands on type of man with knowledge on how to battle the elements and make the best out of every situation. Once the car is found the journey is only half over, they must use only the car as well as their environment to make it to civilization.
The two mens characteristics are just as different as their expertise. Gary is more of an head strong man of the wilderness(that can crack a smile once in a while). Bill on the other hand is more of an intellectual, depending more on facts and figures than pure instinct. Bill also seems to whine a lot at every obstacle thrown in their path, which gets on Gary's nervous most of the time. The two must set aside their differences in beliefs and abilities in order to survive some of the most harsh and unforgiving elements. During some of the episodes there bond is really tested(especially during an ugly escape from a frozen volcano).
Though the two men work together to survive, Gary is usually depicted as the leader and often times will be the hard working muscle to Bill brain.

After Jessie, James, and Meowth stole all the students' Pokémon, Tōkichi, as well as Aya and the gang, chased after them. He used his Ariados's web in order to make a kite. Aya stated to Ash that creating and utilizing the kite is one of her master's greatest techniques. Using ninja stars, he cut the balloon and cut the rope holding the stolen Poké Balls.

Tōkichi's Ariados was used to battle Aya to make her stronger. It first appeared when Ash and his friends found it injured. Before Brock could check it over, Aya appeared and claimed it, and its Trainer called and it escaped. Aya gave chase but her Venonat got caught in its web. Tōkichi then appeared next to Ariados. Later, when Team Rocket stole all the Pokémon, Ariados created a kite to give chase, but when it reached Team Rocket it was too tired to fight. In the end, Team Rocket was wrapped up in Ariados's web.
Ariados's known moves are String Shot and Spider Web. | ||

The Speed of Thought

I'm kind of over the whole white phase in home decor. I used to love it to death but nowadays it seems like it's been done over and over again and I just don't find it peaceful anymore, but clinical, sterile and tiring. As an alternative, I really feeling off-white, beige, cream and all variations.

geez, who's now doing the "dirty" politics? talking about being above the fray. give me a break obama!
Hillary Clinton is very much a flowery facade with an insidious untrustworthy substance. I agree she is not worthy of any office of governing power. Her day in the sun is over.
OH dear and with all the hate and vile obama and his supporters spew we should take THEIR word for gospel...sorta like obama's preacher and his hate and vile.
This is hard to believe... after all this media coverage about Obama's 20 plus relationship with his anti-American spirtual advisor, and his camp is saying Hillary's the flawed nominee. I don't think so.... I can see those commercials running over and over again connecting Obama to his past relationship with his former "spirtual advisor."
That means he will lose lots of votes and the election.
It's interested this is coming from them right after the polls have been indicating Hillary is favored now nationally as the nominee and fares better against McCain.
Oh now Hillary supporters will say " how can you attack Hillary- Obama is a fraud"
For GOD"S SAKE...he just told the TRUTH....
Dishonest politician...PLS go away
Would that be based on her record? How about we see Obama's schedule of events when he was a senator in IL for 8 years then we can verify then reach a reasonable conclusion. Coming from the people who talk about uniting the country and attends a church that literally divides the country is rather silly to believe. Hillary is a much better candidate than Barack. Honestly, if people knew what they know about Obama, he would probably not even be in this race at this point.
The Obama campaign will say anything to make Hillary look bad. So much for claiming they follow different politics.
Obama you might win the primary election, but won't win the general election. I know many people who will vote for McCain if Hillary loses the primary to Obama.
The people around Obama always seem to say the wrong things. Get with the program people, we are trying to win the nomination. Stop all this negative stuff and just do your Job.
Gobama 08!!!
Obama is looking more and more desparate as the American people learn who he really is. He is a flawed and toxic candidate.
It is not a negative campaign to point out the other candidate is greying out the truth. Reminds me of the current president. In every circumstace paint the picture rosy, even when most people know that it is not.
Clinton is counting on the ignorant vote, just like Bush did. C'mon people pull your heads out!
Obama/Edwards 08
We knew this in Texas where NAFTA benefits some and not others (e.g. Freidrich workers), so why were Ohio voters so "unknowing"? If Senator Clinton's base is blue collar older men & women, then what happened to their memories? I'm wondering if Ohio voters are having "buyer's remorse" (as Senator Clinton has coined) now?
Barack Obama is disgusting. His words against Clinton: "desperate" and "will do anything to get elected" and "status quo" ring truer to his campaign than any other. He is a lier and a fraud and I wouldn't vote for him if he were the last candidate on earth. I hope he gets what he deserves for his lies and divisive tactics: nothing.
So much for 'the new politics' then.
i cant see myself voting for such a hypocritical mantra.
Barack, tell us something we don't know. Anyone who thinks Hillary is an honest woman is simply dillusional.
Obama's true colors are coming out. From the beginning, Hillary has constantly been attacked, and time and time again she's risen above it. Obama is attacked, and he sinks. Hillary has proven she can survive attack after attack and come back on top. This is what it takes to be president. Hillary is ready. Obama is not.
Does anyone see how nasty the Obama whiners are...this type of approach has been consistently taken by these people – this is not change – this is like the Swift Boaters of the Democrats against the Democrats. It has not stopped since the very beginning of his campaign – seems he get other to do his name calling – shoud we star calling him Teflon Obama. I am sick of it.
If this type of garbage does not stop and if Obama becomes the candidate, then I say vote for Nader and I am a pretty die hard Democrat – but I have had it.
What we are seeing here folks is the Obama team attempting to put the nail on the coffin.
How can we trust Senator Clinton?????? She lied to the people of Ohio for votes!!! What's going on here?? If I was living in Ohio, I would be OUTRAGED!!!! I would expect here to come to my state and ask for a re-vote!!!
Lets be frank about the real issues here. Obama's campaign is in real touble here. His side talks a lot of talk about her throwing the kitchen sink strategy and Obama is the one who is desperate here to discredit her and take some of the glare off of himself in connection with his `
I'm surprised he didn't call her a "typical white person" like he called his grandmother yesterday.....And isn't it convenient that Obama HAS NO RECORD to examine! On any controversial votes in the Illinois Senate, he typically voted "present". That is NOT AN HONEST LEADER.
The problem is that, everyone says negative attacks are bad, then we see over and over that it works, even if it is completely irrelevant or false. Voters buy negative campaign very well, so it is sold to them over and over. Isn't it the case?
CNN, you are consistent. With every article and with your bias support of Barack Obama, you convert another to Hillary Clinton.
I never expect Anderson Cooper's fall from grace.
These are not the words of Obama, but a surrogate. I feel that both candidates have lost their voice in the midst of this chaotic primary. We all need to step back and allow the candidates to once again speak for themselves.

Highly effective and recyclable chiral auxiliaries: a study of the synthesis and use of three 4-isopropyl-5,5- diaryloxazolidin-2-ones
Alexander, Karen and Cook, Stuart and Gibson, Colin L. and Kennedy, Alan R. (2001) Highly effective and recyclable chiral auxiliaries: a study of the synthesis and use of three 4-isopropyl-5,5- diaryloxazolidin-2-ones. Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 1, 2001 (13). pp. 1538-1549. ISSN 1472-7781
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
A series of three 5,5-diaryl substituted oxazolidin-2-ones (diphenyl, dinaphthyl and ditolyl) have been synthesised. Studies on the benzylation of the lithium enolates of N-acyl derivatives reveal that the yields obtained were sensitive to the method of quenching the reaction. This was particularly acute for the 5,5-diphenyl system where effective yields (69%) and high diastereoselectivities (dr 98 2) are only observed when the reactions were quenched into aqueous buffer. Methylation studies on the N-acyl derivatives showed that the most advantageous results (58-69%, dr 91 9) were only observed using the sodium enolates. The 5,5-ditolyl-4-isopropyloxazolidin-2-one proved to be more efficacious in terms of efficiency and diastereoselectivity (dr 97 3). Subsequent, simple alkaline hydrolyses of the alkylation products allowed for the high recovery and recyclability of the 5,5-diaryl substituted oxazolidin-2-ones without any deleterious endocyclic cleavage. In addition, the acyl portions were recovered in high yield from the alkaline hydrolyses without any evidence of racemisation.

Michal "Mike" Madigan has lived in Emerald Lake all her life. Her work as a forensic pathologist and county Medical Examiner is her passion, but few understand the pain that fuels her obsessive dedication.
After 20 years as a metro police officer, Detective Tyler Mason is looking forward to his new job in the small, rural town of Emerald Lake. Ready to leave big city crime behind, he looks forward to the slower, simpler pace of the quaint, lakeside community. He doesn't realize he will soon be caught up in a terrifying whirlwind of danger and violence.
At first Tyler loves everything about his new job—that is until he meets Mike Madigan. Their first encounter is anything but friendly. While she questions his ability to do his job, he accuses her of being as cold as the victims she works on. When forced by his boss to make peace, Tyler decides to give friendship a try.
The sudden appearance of a copycat killer at Emerald Lake jars Mike and Tyler's world. Terrifying clues are left at the murder scenes threatening Mike's life. The pressures of the case force her to deal with the ghosts from her past and come to terms with a God she bitterly resents. Tyler's faith is the one thing that holds him steady, but will it be strong enough to help him solve the case before it destroys the woman he's falling in love with?

Course formats: Grid Format
Maintained by Gareth J Barnard
A modular and visual course format. Hides all topics and creates a grid of icons (one for each topic) with short titles. Clicking on an icon brings up the content from the corresponding topic.

Moodle 2.3
A modular and visual course format. Hides all topics and creates a grid of icons (one for each topic) with short titles. Clicking on an icon brings up the content from the corresponding topic in a "lightbox" style display.
REPORTING ISSUES: When reporting issues you MUST clearly state the full version and release of both Moodle and the Grid format as contained within their 'version.php' files - if not it takes me longer to figure out, often resulting in me asking for the details anyway and slowing the process of solving your problem down. It really helps to upload and describe in detail the issue you are having on the 'Course formats' forum.

- Hi Gareth
Really neat plugin. We are using it with "Show one section per page". Our problem is that each section has multiple embedded videos and this is resulting in a very slow load of the main page. From what I can see the main page source includes all the content of the various sections even though they are not displayed when showing one section per page. Is this correct? Is there any way to avoid this?
Ken - Hi Ken,
Does the same thing happen when you use the Topics format with the course and that same setting?
Gareth - Hi,
When I try to install version "184.108.40.206 (2016060702)", the system says it is installing version "220.127.116.11 (2015112106)".
Ricardo - Hi Ricardo,
You've clicked on the wrong link: https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversion.php?id=12747
Kind regards,
Gareth - Thanks for this excellent plugin, which lots of people use and love. I have noticed a problem where, when I create a new course from a template - the grid border colour is changing from what it is set to (both the template course and the grid defaults are set so the border colour should be #dddddd) to a single 0 - then if you go into the course settings to edit the settings, when you go to save the settings it reports this as an issue - it is easy to change this each time, but is a step that I don't want to have educate all the tutors in doing. I don't know if you have seen this problem, or if it affects anyone else. We are using Moodle 3.2.1+ (Build: 20170119), Grid format plugin 126.96.36.199 (2016111502) and the Adaptable theme 220.127.116.11 (2017012300). Thanks in advance
- Hi Dave,
This is to be fixed in the next release being 220.127.116.11. If you wish to patch your version now, please see: https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-format_grid/commit/8948ced26d8caf5e37b196bb30f211b93dc75d6e.
Gareth - Upgraded to version 22.214.171.124 of the plugin.
On moodle 3.2.1
When switching to my language (hebrew) which is RTL the plugin looses the hand and X pointer skins (when pointing at an arrow to move to the next section and when pointing outside the section to "close" it by clicking the background)
Another issue is the arrows to move between sections get flipped in RTL language - Hi Ben,
Yes I can replicate but not sure how to fix yet. Ref: https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-format_grid/issues/41.
Gareth - Good morning, Gareth! I'm a fan of the plugin you created!
I would like to ask for help!
I can not change the "Grid" image. When I click on "Change Image" the new page (image change) is empty.
We use Moodle 3.2.
Another thing, the Plugin name is translated into Portuguese, but has a dot at the end. This point is giving a conflict in version 3.2 at the time of creation of new courses.
Thank you for your attention. - Hi Charles,
Ok you forgot to tell me that you are using pt_br instead of pt as the version of Portuguese, this wasted time. I tested course creation with both pt and pt_br (which has the dot) and I get no conflict or error in M3.2.
I tried to replicate the "Change image" issue (on M3.2 Essential development version, Clean and Boost) with pt_br and could not replicate. Therefore probably a JS issue with your site.
Gareth - Hi,
I just installed version "2016111502" on my Moodle 3.2.1+, but the plugin is not showing on the course format list (??). Plugin installation was successful.
I run another Moodle instance (v3.1.4+). On this one the plugin (2016060702) is working just fine.
Any idea?
Ricardo - Hi Ricardo,
No idea, sorry. Look in the PHP log for any errors.
Gareth - Gareth,
Problem solved!
File permission issues.
Ricardo - How can I set Week 1 Week 2 etc instead of Section 1 Section 2 etc... Currently I need to change each title. All courses are weekly based, so its better to add week 1 week 2 .
- Nisanth - I don't think you can automatically set the grid format to display Week 1, Week 2 etc, you do have to do this manually. The collapsed topics format would let you do this, but gives a different layout.

I have a 2009 335i Sedan which has the tire pressure sensors. It appears that the only readout from them is a warning if a tire gets 25% low. I'd like to be able to see the actual pressures and temps so I can see a slow leak coming or diagnose a failing tire. Does anyone know if there is a way to compel the car to show the actual pressures and temperatures on the iDrive or trip computer? Has anyone tried using an aftermarket TPMS receiver to read the pressures?
There's definitely a way... but it may cost you. The service tech's can do it to isolate/find a failing sensor... but it may not be able to be done with the on board electronics. A service scan costs about as much as 2 new sensors. I certainly didn't see anything mentioned in the manual about it. There's some secret stuff you can access if you know how through manipulating the dashboard electronics. There is a specific code you have to enter to make it accessible. I was able to do it on my 7's but I haven't had any reason to look into it for the 3 yet. Chuck
Indirect TPMS It is my understanding that your 3 series car has an indirect TPMS that does not use physical pressure sensors. By comparing individual wheel rotational speeds (provided by the ABS), the indirect TPMS determines a deviation of an under-inflated tire due to its higher rotational speed.
Thanks for the update. I guess my 2008 is getting old; maybe they changed in 2009. My owner's manual calls it a FTM and states, "The Flat Tire Monitor detects pressure in a tire by comparing the rotating speeds of the individual tires while moving. In the event of pressure loss, the rolling circumference changes and, thus, the rotating speed of the affected wheel. This change is detected and is reported as a flat tire". Sounds like a indirect TPMS to me.

It's a new day, a new dawn - from Sri Pada
Trip Start
Nov 01, 2005
Trip End
Apr 30, 2006
I went there with Upul, one of the field scouts that I've been working with.
The path is lit all the way up and has little tea shops to sustain you. It all felt quite festive, with lots of the pilgrims wishing us happy new year as we ascended.
It was a long climb up the 4800 steps to the top of the mountain and we arrived a bit too early so had to wait in the cold for sunrise. I don't think many people in Sri Lanka own jumpers as the pilgrims were wrapped in a variety of dressing gowns, towels and blankets. Luckily I had my adventure hooded poncho to keep the wind out.
As the sun rose the panorama of mountain tops was revealed, a spectacular sight.
Unfortunately it was slightly cloudy so we didn't get to see the strange floating triangular shadow of the summit (so still can't explain what it is properly)
We ran back down in just over an hour as we were worried that Upul might miss his bus connection back to Wasgamuwa (a 6 hour journey). We saw small religious processions with drums and smoking incense with the stunning backdrop of the misty mountains.
To try to speed things up we had a tuk-tuk back to Hatton and got stopped at one point by monks to be blessed and had our foreheads daubed with ash.
Since it was only 10am and I'd been blessed twice, it must be an auspicious start to 2006. And if nothing else it's nourishment for my tout withered soul.

Album Summary
- Martin Helmchen (Piano)
Notes & Reviews:
Filmed during the 18th edition of the Verbier Festival, Martin Helmchen presents a program of Bach, Liszt and Beethoven that highlights the adaptability of his technique. From the incessant rhythm of a Bach dance to the filigree of Liszt's virtuosic showpieces, Helmchen 'connects seriousness and wistfulness with success', drawing the audience in through his expressive playing and gesture.
BBC Music Magazine, December 2012
He penetrates [the Bach's] counterpoint with a cleansing unmannered beauty - wonderful food for both heart and mind. The focused purity of his artistry - no behavioural frills, no interpretative kinks - finds its match in the film's simple camerawork... [The Hammerklavier] is judiciously paced, ringingly assertive when the composer demands it, weighted with sorrow in the middle.

Staining Papers
A lot of collage artists paint/decorate/stain their own papers to use in their work. I was first introduced to this idea by Gerald Brommer in his book Collage Techniques, my very first book on collage. I continue to develop techniques to use in my scribble-painted papers, learning from others and modifying to suit my tastes and needs. Recently I bought a video workshop by Carrie Burns Brown that demonstrates her process of staining tissue papers (and much more) for collage. Tissue paper is great for collage because you can see all the layers through its translucency. I'd been ironing tissue paper to freezer paper in order to give it the necessary stiffness for painting on. Carrie simply paints them with diluted fluid acrylics, and once they are dry they have a little body. I added Golden's GAC-500 medium to my stains (experiment with rations of water to paint; mine is about 1:1 to 2:1), or you could add a little gloss medium, just to give it a bit more body. One drawback is that the papers take a while to dry. A few hours or overnight, depending on how much stain you put on them. Cover your table with white plastic garbage bags before staining the tissue papers.
This is one I stained with quinacridone gold (my all-time favorite paint) plus a little black. You an see how the tissue wrinkles when it's wet. I spritzed it with a little Glimmer Mist on this one before it dried.
I love how translucent tissue papers are! The wrinkles show up in the paper once it's dry. I actually ironed some of mine, between two sheets of parchment.
More on this as I work on ways to further decorate the papers and use them in my work. Carrie's video has much much more and she gives lots of tips on her materials and processes. I may use these papers in fabric-paper as well as collage. I will keep you posted. Thanks for visiting.

They are beautiful. I just started following your blog, which is lovely. I stopped by Ink About It tonight and was chatting with Lori tonight and we were talking about the sketchbook challenge. She was singing you praise, so I thought I would stop by and see what you were up to tonight.
Lovely to meet you.
KarenI'm curious, do you paint the color/stain on or dip them in a water solution, or do you spray the color on? If you brush the colors on, what type of brush do you use, these are beautiful but I am So Intimidated. I'm afraid that I'll tear the paper and make a huge mess. How diluted do you make the stain, a water like consistency or a thicker medium? Thank you.

At the Washington Post
Graham Joyce reviews Keith Donohue's The Stolen Child. I think I must get this one and read it--I picked it up off a table in a bookstore & looked at it because in theory it is exactly the kind of thing I love, but somehow the prose didn't catch me and I put it back down again. I wish Joyce had actually quoted something from the novel, I am still not quite convinced that this book is for me but I guess it's worth trying....
4 comments:
I though STOLEN CHILD was remarkably effective, and entirely free from cute even though it is about "faeries." I'm a little mystified by the notion I've come across that it's some kind of stealth hit -- it's a Nan Talese Doubleday publication, folks, not some Off-Off-Broadway thing stapled in the author's basement.

July General Meeting – July 20
We need you to help decide the future of the NPBA. Please attend our meeting July 20th, 5:30 – 7:30 at Safe Harbors Ann Street Gallery
It has been almost 5 years since the Newburgh Business & Professional Association was no more that a thought in Judy Kennedy's mind. From this idea a few good hearted people saw the value in a local business organization and started building. And now look how we have grown. Thanks to the hard work of the dedicated board members in these five years, we have grown in membership and hosted monthly meetings that inform and entertain as well provide networking opportunities between our members. We have become a respected civic organization in Newburgh and throughout Orange County. The NPBA has grown to a strong group but for it to continue to be a vital organization we need your help. We are at a crossroads. The board needs new members, including a president and there are committees that need to be formed that need leaders and members. Our July meeting, Wednesday, July 20 will be held at Safe Harbors Ann Street Gallery, Ann Street, Newburgh at 5:30 – 7:30. The subject of the meeting will be the future of the NPBA. We will discuss where we are and how we can continue to grow. But we need everyone to be part of the discussion and to step up and take an active role in our future. Please plan on attending and helping the NPBA continue.
We need you to get involved.
We must get volunteers to serve on the following committees. We are asking that committee members plan on serving on the committee for at least one year and the amount of time required for any of these three would be about 2 hours per month (of course the time requirement depends on how many committee members sign up). If you cannot make the meeting but would like to serve, please contact us at email@example.com.
• Membership – recruit and retain members
• Marketing – increase public awareness of the NPBA
• Events- plan and implement successful events to education, entertain and promote membership.

England selectors today named an unchanged 12-man squad for the second Investec Test against New Zealand commencing Friday May 24 at Headingley following the 170-run victory against New Zealand in the first Test at Lord's.
Three Yorkshire players feature in the squad with Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root looking to play their first Test match at their home ground and Tim Bresnan hoping for an opportunity to play in his first Test match since undergoing elbow surgery in February.
Geoff Miller, National Selector, said: "It was pleasing to start the international summer with a win over New Zealand in the first Investec Test and I thought the team showed a lot of fighting spirit when under pressure to set up the victory.
"We are aware that there are still areas that we need to improve on and the players and coaches will be working hard ahead of the second Test to ensure we continue to get better as a side. New Zealand showed again that they are a dangerous side and we know we will need to produce another strong performance this week to secure a series victory."

Comentários sobre a acomodação
L'accueil fut chaleureux et sympathique.
L'appartement était conforme aux photos de l'annonce, propre et tout fonctionnait normalement.Bien que situé en plein centre ville l'endroit était calme.
Le décors est étudié et très soigné ce qui met une touche d'exotisme raffiné
à l'appartement.Je conseille vivement ce logement à toute les personnes qui tomberait sur l'annonce.
Merci Francesco !
Comentários sobre outras ofertas desse anfitrião.
The flat was very big, with lot of beds and comfortable sofas. The kitchen was ok, but the oven was broken or we didn't get how to use it. It is very close to one of the principal station.
The bad side is that you have to pay a deposit of 100 euros, that is too much, in other places we stayed we didn't have to pay it a or was less. If you don't clean the kitchen before go they keep the deposit. It add lot of stress to the trip, I really hate this!!!. In addition if you don't have that amount of money in cash, you have to pay it with the credit card, and then the money take lot of time to be available again.
Perfect host and very nice people ,ready to help .day and at night!
proper room and we were so sorry we had to leave....
15 minutes walking of the center.PERFECT!
Fair priced. Had a comfortable stay.
Our stay at this apartment was great. Clean, tidy and very neat. We really felt ourselves at home. Great experience. Thanks a lot.
We had a very enjoyable visit to Brussels staying at the Medina apartment. It was very clean and comfortable and well situated near the Brussels Midi station and a easy walk into the city centre.
Fantastic place near station and Francesco is very helpful
Cosy, clean and quiet appartement, close to Gare de Bruxelles-Midi. The appartment provides everything you need and for 15 Euro extra you get a lot in a parking garage, so you dont have to waste your time, searching for a rare parking place. The Hosts are very nice and helpfull all the time. Thank you very much!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Clean and comfortable. All the facilities we needed. Convenient for trams and train. Very friendly and helpful owner and staff.
