In the space of a few months there's been an awful lot of activity on The Lucy Show front. Firstly, there was the solo debut of the band's co-founder Robert Vandeven, then came the reissue of The Lucy Show's debut album '…Undone', originally released in 1985. Now the other half of the songwriting team, Mark Bandola, has a new record out under his Typewriter identity.
If there is a word to describe 'Pictures From The Antique Skip' it would undoubtedly be psychedelic. There are certainly nods to his shoegazing past ('Bambino' is awash with trademark jangle and effects) but largely it's the sound of a man in love with a more distant past.
'In Another World' is a jangly delight whilst 'Arctic Circle' and 'In Your Atmosphere' are airy and spacious. As the album develops, a pattern images where the songs are interspersed with brief experiments (mainly instrumental but some spoken word elements too). Then just when you think it's safe to settle down after the gentle, whimsical 'Impossible Beauty', there's a loud, noisy interruption courtesy of a live recording from Ausgang, a band Bandola played with in the early part of the century.
'Pictures From The Antique Skip' is too long and often lacks focus. Yet it's hard not to admire the ambition, variety and sheer joy for making music that Bandola clearly still possesses. Crucially, that knack for creating a clever tune is something he's never lost either.

Behnam was unwell. Worse than unwell. Unwell was an understatement. He'd been drifting in and out of consciousness for…? Days? How long had he been in this place now? And he'd not been able to move his arms or legs the whole time. If he didn't get some proper circulation going soon his limbs would begin dying.
A thick fog filled his brain and he found himself drifting off again. He shook his head to stay awake. Pain exploded in his temples, but it woke him up. He needed to stay conscious, to think. Escape was paramount. The longer he remained captive the harder it would become to block access to his mind.
"Well?" spoke the voice in the darkness.
Behnam started, lashing out with his one good leg, but it didn't connect with anything. He was a bag of nerves, but he mustn't crack. Stay calm.
Silence. The thrashing had exacerbated his head. He winced and slumped back against the wall, already defeated. Feet shuffled in the darkness. There were others there too. How many? And what were they doing there?
"What do you want from me?" Behnam said at last.
"I want to know if you felt it." It was the same rasping corpse-like voice as before.
"Felt what?" He coughed. "All I feel is pain."
"You felt it," said the voice. "You and the brotherhood all felt it."
"The fluctuation. The ripple that swept through the fabric of our realm."
"I don't understand." Behnam leant his head back against the wall and took a shallow breath.
"It's the girl. She's come back. I felt it. And I know you and the brotherhood felt it too."
Behnam's head was swimming again. Jumbled visions were populating his mind's eye, coming and going in rapid succession.
"Enough!" he shouted. He forced all thoughts from his head. It was a struggle but somehow he managed it.
"Still fighting me?" There was a pause. "You're strong, Master Baktash, but what little strength you have left is waning and your time is running out. No matter though, my men will find her."
"What girl? Who is she?"
"The one who almost killed me, who cut off my arm. I thought I'd destroyed her last time. This time I'll do it properly, before she can fulfil her destiny. And you will help me, Master Baktash. You'll help, or those you hold dear will perish."

Maria Rundell (1745-1828)
19th century domestic goddess
Maria Rundell collected recipes and household tips for her daughters. When she had these notes published as 'Domestic Cookery' (1806) it was a surprising and immediate success. It was extremely popular. It was so successful that it went through 65 editions in only 35 years.
The original edition was extended and engravings were added. 'Domestic Cookery' included the first printed reference to Scotch eggs, as well as recipes for mice pies and several suggestions for pig's ears and feet. In addition to the British and European recipes, the book included Indian curries and pickles and Chinese food.
As well as the recipes, Rundell gave hints and instructions for entertaining and throwing dinner parties, and household tips on homemade medicines and making ink.
Although Rundell and John Murray II began as friends, their relationship broke down and ended in ill-tempered threats of legal action. In the end Murray had to pay her £2,100 to settle the matter.

Ancelotti warned he is 'under observation' at Bayern by club legend Kahn
Former Bayern Munich goalkeeper Oliver Kahn says head coach Carlo Ancelotti will be "under observation" this season and has warned the club they must start to spend big to remain among European football's elite.
Bayern won their fifth successive Bundesliga title in Ancelotti's first campaign in charge last term but exited the Champions League in the quarter-finals, losing 6-3 on aggregate to eventual winners Real Madrid.
Bayern 11/2 to win the Champions League
Editors' Picks
The Italian has overseen an unconvincing 2017-18 pre-season, Bayern needing penalties to defeat Borussia Dortmund earlier this month following a 2-2 draw in the DFL-Supercup.
Although they dispatched third-tier side Chemnitzer 5-0 in the DFB-Pokal, Kahn knows Ancelotti still has plenty to prove in Germany, despite his impressive record with the likes of AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Madrid.
"Of course Carlo Ancelotti is under observation," he told Kicker.
"The benchmark is the Champions League, as with [Ancelotti's predecessor] Pep Guardiola, but also, the integration of young players into the team is a criterion."
Ancelotti defiant amid criticism
Of some poor friendly results, including losses to Napoli, Liverpool, Inter and Milan, Kahn said: "If, according to my experience, the preparations were very bumpy, this also carried on into the season."
"We played well. I was impressed by our attitude," says @MrAncelotti. #DFBPokal #CFCFCB 0-5 pic.twitter.com/RbKpsI6pm7— FC Bayern English (@FCBayernEN) August 12, 2017
Bayern broke their transfer record to sign Corentin Tolisso from Lyon for €41.5 million in June and captured James Rodriguez on a cost-effective two-year loan move from Ancelotti's former side Madrid.
The outlay for Tolisso appears insignificant compared to the extraordinary sum of €222m Paris Saint-Germain parted with to prise Neymar away from Barcelona.
Bayern president Uli Hoeness has made no secret of his distaste for the state of the inflated transfer market, but Kahn has warned his old side they may have to be willing to increase their expenditure to retain a competitive advantage in the Champions League.
"If Bayern want to be among the three, four best teams in Europe, there is no way around [the fact] that they have to get involved with the very big transfers," he said.
'Neymar not that good' - Bayern president
And Kahn also feels his former club's sustained dominance of the Bundesliga could make it more difficult to attract star talent from elsewhere.
"It is not harmless for Bayern if the competition for the championship in the league remains so unbalanced," he said.
"If the German championship is nothing special anymore, it would make me, as a player, no longer have fun. This is why [the] competition has to become stronger.
"In Spain and England the favourite teams fight hard for the title."
Bayern open the Bundesliga season at home to Bayer Leverkusen on Friday.

The Yale Philharmonia offers important orchestral experience, with a wide variety of repertoire and frequent opportunities to work with guest conductors.
Two harpists in recent years have won the annual Woolsey Concerto Competition: Kristan Toczko won in 2011 for her performance of the Ginastera Harp Concerto, and Antoine Malette-Chénier won in 2013 with the Harp Concerto by R. Murray Schafer. Winners of the Woolsey Competition perform with the Yale Philharmonia in the following season.

The popularity of pawn solutions has come through with a great deal of television shows, and more. You can easily turn on cable television and see shows about pawn solutions from the world over. This is a great thing, as it shines light on the options that people aren't always aware of, including the opportunity to get paid for items that you never knew were valuable.
Just like the shows that you see, many people will find that they can get paid for items online, through trusted resources. For instance, you'll want to look into cash4jewelrynow.com, as they could help you get paid for your jewelry. If you've never used this resource or any pawn solution, then perhaps a few notes will help you get some understanding about what you can do, moving forward.
Easy Access To A Loan
The first thing that you're going to find to be true about your old jewelry and using a pawn solution is that you can get a loan fast. The lending solutions that come with cash4jewelrynow.com, are focused on the quality of the items that you have. Not everything that you may think has value, will have value, and that's something to consider. Furthermore, you should know that loans are still in need to be paid back, unlike selling outright.
When you work with a lender of this type, you will be putting up your jewelry for collateral. That means that the value of your items are going to be assessed and will help you get the right amount of money for your overall needs. Now, you will have to give up your items for a short time, as they will be held by the company. As long as you make your payments, and pay back the loan, you will end up receiving your items back, which makes this an advantageous solution.
The Benefit of a Loan
The biggest thing about working with a loan is that you'll be able to do all of this without having to deal with problems that others have to deal with. You see, the average individual that goes to a bank will have to deal with credit history.
A bank will look to see the history of a person's credit and will try to figure out whether a person is worthy of getting cash. Most often, that sinks the opportunity for people, and they end up losing out. If you don't have good credit, even if you made some improvements recently, you may still get declined for a loan. Getting declined is no fun, but that's why you can work with another solution.
When you work with cash4jewelrynow.com, you don't have to work with anything associated with credit history at all. As long as you agree with the terms of your loan, pay things back appropriately, and work with the right solutions, you will end up with a serious option to get paid for your jewelry. Even if it's broken, dusty, old, or unused. It doesn't matter, as long as it's pure precious metal, you'll end up with a great deal of money, whether a loan or outright payment.

Highways Claim for Damage or Injury
The term highway refers to all roads and pavements which Cornwall Council has the responsibility for maintaining.
There is no automatic right to compensation and all claims are assessed based on laws and guidelines that are in place for assessing such claims, details on these are below.
Making a claim
Before you can access the printable claim form for compensation you must report the highway defect to us using our online reporting system.
Once you have logged the defect you will be provided with a unique reference number. Please enter the number below to access a claim form.
Responsibilities and law
Cornwall Council is the highway authority responsible for the majority of highways within Cornwall and there are duties set out in law that state that the Council has a duty to maintain the highways accordingly.
These duties are known as Section 41 duties and you can also view the entire Highways Act.
The Council carries out its Section 41 duties by having in place a Highways Maintenance Manual which sets out all aspects of its road maintenance ranging from the frequency of inspections for each highway through to defect category types and response times for complaints received amongst many other things.
The Council's wholly owned company Cormac Solutions carries out the Council's section 41 duties on behalf of the Council. Although the Council instructs Cormac Solutions to carry out these duties it cannot delegate any liability to them therefore all claims for compensation are made against the Council as it is the responsible/accountable highway authority
For a claim for compensation to be successful the person/company wishing to claim compensation will need to prove that the Council, via its wholly owned company, has been negligent in carrying out its Section 41 duties and could therefore be held legally liable for the injury or damage sustained.
Please take some time to read the information below about timescales for assessing claims for compensation.
If you submit a claim Cornwall Council will investigate your claim and the following timescales will be implemented:
- We will aim to acknowledge receipt of your claim form and additional information within 10 working days.
- If information requested as part of the claims process has been omitted from your claim form, please refer to section 10 enclosures checklist, then we will aim to make a request for the missing information within 10 working days.
- When any requested missing information is received we will aim to send an acknowledgement within 10 working days. It is important to note that until all requested information is received by the dealing Senior Risk and Insurance Officer your claim will not be progressed to the assessment stage.
- The Council will aim to get a decision with regards to your claim within 30 working days from the date of acknowledgement.
- If your claim is successful then you will be informed that it has been successful and the Council will aim to make payment to you within 14 working days.
- If your claim is unsuccessful (repudiated) then you can continue the process by following the claims dispute and appeal processes detailed below.
Disputing and appealing the Council's decision to repudiate (reject) your claim
If your claim is repudiated you can in the first instance dispute the decision made with the dealing officer.
If you wish to dispute the decision made you must provide full details, in writing either by post or email, of why you wish to dispute the decision and include additional information surplus to that provided within your claim form.
If you do not possess any additional information then you can proceed to appeal the dealing officer's decision with their line manager the Risk & Insurance Section Claims Manager. If you wish to appeal you must send a request, in writing either by post or email, to the dealing officer stating that you wish to appeal the decision made.
Once received the dealing officer will pass your claim to the claims manager and will aim to acknowledge receipt of the appeal within 5 working days providing you with the contact details of the claims manager.
The claims manager will then endeavour to respond to your appeal with a final decision with regards to liability within 14 working days from the date the dealing officer acknowledging receipt of it.
If the claims manager investigates the claim and finds that your claim is to be settled then they will write to you informing you of this and will aim to make payment within 14 working days.
If the claims manager upholds the dealing officer's decision to repudiate the claim then your final option is to issue proceedings against Cornwall Council in the small claims court. Information on how to follow this process can be found online or at your local magistrate's court.
Please note that in periods of very bad weather where there are a greater number of claims it may take longer for us to respond to your claim.
Seeking legal advice
You are entitled to seek legal advice.
If you do not have a solicitor, you may wish to contact the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) on 0115 958 0585 to obtain the name of a suitably qualified expert solicitor in your area. Their advice may also be free to you or alternatively, you may wish to contact the Citizens Advice Bureau.
Fraud prevention
Cornwall Council has a responsibility to ensure that all claims received are legitimate.
The Council and its insurers have an anti-fraud system in place to assist in detecting dishonest or fraudulent claims and taking subsequent appropriate action.
The Authority is under a duty to protect the public funds it administers and to this end may use the information you have provided in connection with any claim for the prevention and detection of fraud.
For these purposes the Authority may also share the information with other bodies responsible for auditing or administering public funds.
Further information can be found on the national fraud initiative pages.

Since then, I've used two newer versions of Linux Mint, and I've gotten a newer computer as well. I'm still quite pleased with and fond of Linux Mint; it's fast, stable, secure, and it does what I want it to do (most of the time). Sure, there have been some minor hiccups along the way. For example, until recently, I wasn't able to view Hulu on my laptop as I have installed the 64-bit edition; thankfully, that has been fixed. Occasionally, the desktop will start without window decorations, at which point I would have to start the Compiz Fusion icon to reload the Compiz WM that I'm using under GNOME. I have had to lock one package because upgrading it broke it when I tried to get the latest version of a different package through a common repository. But otherwise, my experiences with Linux Mint have been very, very positive, and I could never see myself using Microsoft Windows on a regular basis again.
Right now, Linux Mint 9 LTS "Isadora", which is what I'm using now, is supported for the next two years. If the Linux Mint developers do release an Ubuntu-based version 13 LTS "M[...]a", then I will switch to that when it comes out. If not, then I will stick to this for the remaining two years, and then I will in all likelihood switch to the latest snapshot of Debian-based Linux Mint. I do have other backup plans, though; I really like #!, and it's based on Debian Stable, so that seems like a pretty good option as well. MIT offers RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) to students, and it should be offering RHEL 6 by the end of this semester (in a few weeks), so because RHEL is supported for 10 years, that looks like a pretty good option as well. That's the beauty of the Linux ecosystem; if for whatever reason I don't like something, I can always start using something else.
In short, thank you to the Linux Mint developers for creating an OS that I could fall in love with and stay in love with for 2 years. Even if for whatever reason I switch from Linux Mint to something else, I will always credit Linux Mint as the OS that got me started with Linux. This is what my desktop looks like now:

4. Take the crust and bake until golden brown.
5. Allow the crust to cool.
6. While the crust is cooling mix the cream cheese, cool whip and powdered sugar together.
7. Once the crust is cooled spread the mixture evenly over the entire crust.

top level domeinnaam
The Norwegian top-level domain .no is managed by Norid which is a subsidiary in the UNINETT Group. Norid is a non-profit organisation and is regulated by the Norwegian Post and Telecommunications Authority. Norid has also been delegated the responsibility for the top-level domains .bv (Bouvetøya) and .sj (Svalbard and Jan Mayen). So far these have not been opened for registering domain names.
Strictly regulated
The Norwegian .no extension has always been strictly regulated. The domain owner is thus required to be a resident of Norway and the amount of domain names has been limited: initially 15 domains, currently a maximum of 100 domains. A private person is not allowed to register a .no domain but may register a .priv.no domain, of which he may possess a maximum of 5 names. Nevertheless, or perhaps due to this regulation, the growth in the number of .no domains has been constant since 2001 with an annual growth of 50,000 domains.
The main reason for these limitations is to protect the quality of the .no zone. Buying up large quantities of domains for legal or illegal purposes is not possible. In other countries the problem occurs that a domain is registered in the name of the registrar, and that in a conflict of interest the user of the domain has no rights. This hardly occurs in Norwegian domains.
Regulation is also reflected in the many second-level domain names: almost every town of standing has its own second level domain, including sub domains which may be registered.
Internationalized Domain Name (IDN)
Norway has supported the use of special characters in domain names since 2004, the so called Internationalized Domain Names (IDN). Since after the release, the proportion of the IDN's has been stable and is approximately 4,5% of the total zone file. The majority of the IDN's contain the most commonly used national characters æ, ø and å. A small amount uses the remaining special characters.
The power of a .no domain
Precisely because of these restrictions imposed by the registry, a .no domain radiates it's own identity. Does your company have a branch in Norway then you cannot avoid using a .no domain.http://www.norid.no

Prom 71: ONF/Gatti - Debussy and Stravinsky, 7 September 2010
Debussy – Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune
Debussy – La mer
Stravinsky – The Rite of Spring
Orchestre National de France
Daniele Gatti (conductor)
Bob Crow and company did their best to disrupt this Prom, so it was striking – if the pun may be forgiven – and, more to the point, heartening, to note a near full house in the Royal Albert Hall for the visit of the Orchestre National de France under Daniele Gatti. Gatti is by any standards one of the finest conductors at work today, though is not necessarily always acknowledged as such; perhaps the strong turn out suggested that the English remember fondly, as they should, his distinguished tenure as Music Director of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. This was also a relatively rare visit to these shores from the ONF: all the more reason to be grateful.
The concert opened with a languorous account of Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune. Gatti's willingness – and ability – to take his time put me in mind of his fine Bayreuth Parsifal. There was a splendid sense of freedom in the flute (Philippe Pierlot) arabesques, bar lines all but obliterated, the ONF's harps equally delightful of tone. An elegance one can only term Gallic characterised the strings. Later on, Gatti made more of Debussy's inner parts than is often the case: quite revealing harmonically.
My wayward progress to the Albert Hall – thank you again, Mr Crow – had involved a boat trip, but there was to be no confusing the Thames with the still broader horizons of La mer. The first movement did just what it should, evoking dawn as a coming to life through motivic teeming. There were darker, post-Pelléas intimations too: Debussy is nothing if not ambiguous. The great midday climax was wonderfully rounded and well-prepared, emerging naturally yet dramatically, the ONF brass especially impressive. And yet, the fleeting nature of this triumph remained: does one ever know what next the sea holds in store, physically or metaphysically? Jeux de vagues was elegant, beguiling too, though I wondered whether it might have offered a little more in terms of caprice. Much, I suppose, depends upon expectations. Gatti took the opportunity once again to reveal a great deal of instrumental detail. The Dialogue du vent et de la mer emerged, like the first movement, definitely post-Pelléas but also recognisably post-Wagner, not least in venting of the wind's fury. I sensed – and given Gatti's Mahlerian pedigree, perhaps there was something in this – an unexpected kinship with Mahler too, some motivic work recalling the Second Symphony in detail as well as ominous tread. But then, flickering, shimmering mystery was heard, which could only be Debussy, whether in harmony or orchestration. The final blaze of glory suggested another parallel: without straying unidiomatically, Janáček – the Glagolitic Mass? – sprang to mind. Intriguing, and more apt than one might initially suspect.
Stravinsky owed Debussy a great deal, of course, but one could never accuse the Rite of Spring of vagueness. Parallels were drawn, or at least could be perceived, without restricting the specific – in more than one sense – voice of the younger composer. The introductory woodwind solos were very much solos: it was as if characters, related yet distinct, were announcing themselves. There were a few passages during the first part – Auguries of Spring being one – in which I felt Gatti took the music a little too fast, or at least too lightly: the Rite should probably sound more primæval. But this Rite grew in stature, and the ONF's brass and percussion soon more than compensated, quite shattering in the sage's music and the Dance of the Earth. This was not an especially Russian Rite, as we have heard of late from, say, Valery Gergiev, but nor are Stravinsky's own recordings: far from it. Indeed, as the first part progressed, one increasingly could sense the brave new world that would follow the Great War, Varèse suggested more than once. The second part's introduction certainly possessed that primæval quality occasionally lacking earlier on. Hereafter, Gatti seemed to stress Stravinsky's cellular construction, yet mystery prevailed, for only a dull interpreter or listener would oppose analysis and the mysterious. Dramatic momentum unerringly built up, leaving one in no doubt that this was a stage work – and, whatever Stravinsky might have claimed, a post-Wagnerian one at that. The true test of success in a performance of the Rite is whether it seems a mere showpiece – assuming the orchestra can play it... – or whether one marvels anew at this extraordinary work. There had been slips, some quite noticeable, and which could well have upset some listeners, but for me, Gatti and the ONF passed with flying colours.
And what a masterstroke it was to follow the Rite with Wagner: the Prelude to Act III of Die Meistersinger, that work at its most indelibly Schopenhauerian and thereby imbued with the resignation of the conductor's beloved Parsifal. The ONF, its strings in particular, did Wagner and Gatti proud. My only regret was that we could not hear the entire act – and not solely, nor even primarily, so as to defer reacquaintance with the joys of Transport for London.
3 comments:
I agree with much of what you say about the first half. L'apres midi and La mer were really beautifully played, but the Rite was felt very nervous and, indeed, nearly broke down at the end of the first part. An unfortunate misunderstanding between Gatti and the heavy brass, I think, but the performance never really recovered and didn't manage to settle into the kind of rhythmic rhythmic fluency this piece requires.
- 08 September, 2010 10:11
Whilst in no position to comment on the technical performance I would like to suggest that the ONF bonded brilliantly with the spirit of the Proms and, therefore, with us all. The result was an evening to remember.
- 08 September, 2010 13:44
I thought that, with the exception of the 'Dialogue...', where the sense of movement was rather exciting, the pacing was a little rushed in the first half. I wish he'd luxuriated in it all a little more!
And I'd be willing to bet that major slip at the end of Part I of the Rite wouldn't have happened had he not been conducting from memory.

For centuries masks have been an integral part of Balinese ritual life.
This carved, wooden mask represents the mythical creature known in Bali as Banaspati Raja, meaning "King of the Forest," also called the Barong Ket. Lion-like masks such as this one are the most common type, but Barong can take on the features of a number of different animals, including wild boar, dog, deer, and tiger, individually or in composite form.
In Balinese society, all Barong masks are considered to be sacred items and therefore demand careful and intricate artistry. On this mask, the large, bulging eyes of the creature are enhanced with pigment. Two prominent wooden tusks protrude from either side of the mouth. The ornate mane that spreads out around the face consists of elaborately tooled leather and hair has been threaded beneath the lower lip to give the creature a beard.
Although Barong masks have become popular items among foreign collectors, to the Balinese they are much more than objects of aesthetic merit. Every Balinese village has a Barong that it considers its guardian. The Barong mask is a means of both giving the spirit tangible form and harnessing its energy. Stored in the village temple, the mask is brought out on special occasions and asked to bestow blessings on the community or restore the balance of cosmic forces. At these times, the Barong might be placed on an altar or worn, along with a full body costume, in ceremonial procession and theatrical events. During sacred performances, two members of the community dance the Barong mask and costume, which together can weigh as much as one hundred pounds. When one of the dancers, another participant in the performance, or an audience member falls into a trance, it is believed that the spirit of the Barong has been successfully invoked.

Nielsen Says Smartphones Will Overtake Feature Phones in U.S. by 2011
Smartphones to Overtake Feature Phones in U.S. by 2011 | Nielsen Wire
The iPhone, Blackberry, Droid and smartphones in general dominate the buzz in the mobile market, but only 21% of American wireless subscribers are using a smartphone as of the fourth quarter 2009 compared to 19% in Q3 2009 and 14% at the end of 2008. We are just at the beginning of a new wireless era where smartphones will become the standard device consumers will use to connect to friends, the internet and the world at large. The share of smartphones as a proportion of overall device sales has increased to 29% for phone purchasers in the last six months and 45% of respondents to a Nielsen survey indicated that their next device will be a smartphone. If we combine these intentional data points with falling prices and increasing capabilities of these devices along with a explosion of applications for devices, we are seeing the beginning of a groundswell. This increase will be so rapid, that by the end of 2011, Nielsen expects more smartphones in the U.S. market than feature phones.

The cost of car insurance has reached an all-time high in the UK, with the average insurance premium valued at a record breaking £971 a year, according to Bdaily. Part of the reason for this rise is down to the 1.4 million people who don't have insurance in the UK (Source: Bdaily, 2012). This has resulted in increased costs for the honest and obliging proportion of people who do pay.
Added costs for motorists
Those who are breaking the law and not paying for their car insurance are costing the economy around £500 million a year, as well as pushing up premiums for every other legal driver in the country. Widespread criticism has ensued. Drivers who are keeping to the law feel that the current penalty for those who are caught without insurance is too low. As it stands, the penalty for driving without insurance is six penalty points on the driver's license or a £200 fine. Some drivers feel that this doesn't even add up to the cost that motorists have to pay out each year to buy their insurance.
Students and young male drivers feel the pinch most of all
The news doesn't bode well for students and younger male drivers, who already pay more for their insurance premiums due to the fact that they are 10 times more likely to be involved in an accident than male drivers over the age of 35 (Source: The AA). These high premiums put a strain on the driver's finances, especially when road tax, MOT and fuel prices are an additional expense.
However, it's not only the younger drivers who are feeling the brunt of rising insurance premiums. Even businesses such as taxi drivers and Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are paying out more on transport costs. Families are also noticing a difference, as cuts are being made in order to pay out for their premiums.
Checking your own premiums
As bad news such as the above breaks out, it's a gentle reminder for you to check your car insurance premiums and see if you can reduce your costs. Some demographic groups within society, such as the over 50's, can benefit from cheaper car insurance if they manage to find a suitable company that offers such a service. It's certainly one way of tightening your belt in order to gain more money to spend on day-to-day living.
Unfortunately, women drivers will no longer be able to benefit from cheaper insurance when compared to male drivers, after the European Union judges passed a ruling meaning that risk assessment can no longer based on the gender of a person (Source: Daily Mail, 2011). However, this doesn't mean to say that women can't focus on bringing the cost of their premium down, too. If more people in the UK decide to break the law and not pay for their motor insurance then there will potentially be a knock-on effect and further premium cost increases for the law abiding. Some people are happy to take the risks without realising the full consequences but for the majority of people this means they have to pay out more.

CEF was founded in 2006 with funding from the first round of the Excellence Initiative. As an institution, the Cluster directly reports to the President of the Goethe University Frankfurt. All major decisions are prepared by the CEF Board of Directors in consensus with the international Scientific Advisory Board. Final decisions rest with the CEF Assembly who votes on all important issues. CEF Speaker since 2013 is the chemist Volker Dötsch.
During the first five years of funding (CEF-I), the Cluster implemented a two-tier appointment strategy to bring new expertise in complementary research topics to Frankfurt and to support excellent, mostly junior researchers on non-permanent positions in Frankfurt. For investigators newly recruited to Frankfurt, CEF founded and built the Buchmann Institute for Molecular Life Sciences (BMLS), completed in 2011. In addition, calls for application for adjunct investigatorships were advertised annually and Adjunct Investigators selected in a highly competitive process involving external referees receive funding for two years. The Cluster also integrated a small number of outstanding scientists who have reached statutory retirement age as Senior Scientists.
In the second funding period (CEF-II, start 2012) the Cluster continues to promote early independence by attracting research groups (non-tenure-track W1 positions) with CEF funds and by integrating research groups with independent funding (e.g. from Emmy Noether, ERC starting grants, Lichtenberg groups) at a similar point in their careers.
Almost 60% of the Principal Investigators of CEF-II are new since the CEF-I application in 2006 and half are 45 years old or younger.
The CEF administration consists of the Speaker, the Board of Directors and the staff of the CEF Office.

These days, many groups make various demands of medical device developers: manufacturers, users, patients and government agencies. Given all of these interests and concerns, the developers face many challenges. In this interview, we put some of them under the microscope and examine how they can be sidestepped or entirely avoided.
Jakob Däscher
In this interview with MEDICA-tradefair.com, Jakob Däscher talks about the medical device development process, discusses the stumbling blocks for manufacturers and developers and details the role the networking of devices and the influence of consumer electronics play in this case.
Mr. Däscher, what constitutes good design for a medical device?
Jakob Däscher: There are three aspects that are important in my opinion. First of all, the device should be aesthetically pleasing and reflect the current tastes, similar to how it works in consumer electronics. To this effect, physicians and medical staff are also consumers and prefer to purchase and use an attractive device.
Secondly, when it comes to devices with a graphical user interface – technically all of today's devices- usability is essential. It goes hand in hand with an intuitive design that is easy to learn and operate for users, as is the case with today's mobile devices. Medical device standards also greatly emphasize usability to avoid operating errors.
The third aspect dictates that good design also need to be functional. That is to say, a device must clearly present its functions for the respective application area and not needlessly distract from them.
What was your guiding principle behind the development of the "bellavista" ventilator apparatus?
Däscher: In addition to the three aspects mentioned above, we - IMT as the development partner and imtmedical as the medical equipment manufacturer – wanted to deliver a better ventilator performance for patients because, from a research point of view, there is still a lot of room for improvement and doubts as to what is truly "comforting" for patients when they need to be ventilated. Our second guiding principle pertained to ensuring that staff members are able to easily operate the device without being specialists.
The more different requirements are made to a single device, the more complex its construction and design become. This affects, for example, its controls and its electronics.
What are some of the challenges of this type of development?
Däscher: The device development process becomes more complex with an increased number of different requirements the equipment is intended to meet. A lot of requests from different groups such as product managers, physicians or nursing staff flow into this process. In the case of "bellavista", a relatively inconsistent state of research also contributed to the high complexity of the device requirements. Our clients need to have a clear vision of what the device should accomplish for the market they mean to address.
In addition, the requirements for the device approval are getting increasingly complex as well, which also makes its development more difficult. Our clients have to disclose a much wider range of information for the approval process and they expect our help and know-how to ensure the approval of their products.
What do today's medical device manufacturers emphasize when they are developing a device?
Däscher: Oftentimes it is not enough to just have technical expertise. Customers also expect knowledge about specific market segments and areas of application. When we develop an ophthalmic operating microscope, we obviously also need to understand eye mechanisms and the corresponding surgical techniques.
What's more, service providers like IMT also need to have a big enough team to handle this task. A major medical device project requires between 20 and 30 engineers with a diversified knowledge. In our case, this means expertise in software, hardware, mechanics, quality control, project management, and production. The latter is quite important because we have to assist clients in implementing series production.
Are certain products or product groups more difficult to develop than others?
Däscher: I do not view this issue from a product group point of view but rather in terms of the application, which involves particular difficult aspects. In the case of ventilation, for example, the control system is a difficult area because it directly affects the quality of the ventilation. This is something that is noticeable for the patient and verifiable via measurement technology. Once again, the problem in this case is that there is not enough basic research.
In ophthalmic optics, this pertains to precision for instance. In this case, we need to be able to control instruments and lasers in the micrometer range. This is very difficult.
The are many stumbling blocks in the way towards a successful product. Product designers help manufacturers early on to evade them.
At what point during the development process do you see the biggest potential stumbling blocks for manufacturers?
Däscher: At the start of the development, many clients do not have a clear idea of the specific function and user requirements of the device. We need to develop them together. Usually, you also have to make concessions in functionality or purpose to avoid blowing the budget. Things get difficult if the purpose and user requirements change even slightly afterward. Normally, the development subsequently becomes larger, broader and more expensive.
What's more, the development of a reliable, approved and premium medical device involves increased investment costs that typically exceed one million Euros. This is an especially difficult endeavor for small companies and startups.
There is an increasing desire for medical device networking. Is this a problem for developers?
Däscher: Generally, you could say that users and industry want networking, the exchange and availability of data, though the practical feasibility is a different story. While it is technically feasible, it actually falls through due to organizational issues, especially at hospitals. From the user's point of view, networking should be a readily available option because we know Bluetooth and wireless LAN from mobile devices. Meanwhile, IT departments take a more skeptical view due to safety concerns pertaining to data loss or unauthorized access. This has a major bearing on an efficient, sensible networking of devices.
What are the current trends you see in medical device development?
Däscher: The functionality and complexity of seemingly "simple" devices continue to increase. Just think of heart rate monitor wristbands for example. Eventually, people get the idea to transfer the data to other devices, to a smartwatch or smartphone, for example, that subsequently require an app to do this. You then want users to be able to analyze this data, display it in statistics and store it in the Cloud. In doing so, this product becomes more and more complex, yet these are all functions that are nowadays incorporated into medicine. This is also where networking and safety play an important role again. And that is why this subject is also very exciting for us as developers: to determine today's market opportunities and how they can be implemented in medical technology.

Given that there has been some misunderstanding surrounding the above audience statement, I think it would be prudent to revise it, and the scope section, to make it less general and more focussed on the subset of people for whom the content of the spec is really optimised. And rather than trying to position the document as a normative replacement for the language portions of HTML5, position it as an informative adjunct to the main spec that provides additional, useful material beyond that included in the spec, for its stated audience. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/Received on Wednesday, 28 January 2009 11:11:43 UTC

The world's oldest known person in May 2016 has died at the age of 117. Emma Morano dies in her home in Italy on Saturday.
Her secrets to long life?
Staying single after ending a bad marriage in her late 30's. Eating two raw eggs a day and possessing good genetics.
Being a single woman, she made a living by making jute bags and works in a hotel.
Her doctor even described her as a strong woman.
"She is always a very serene," he told the AP. "The beauty of Emma is that it is normal that she smiles, but also in difficulties, she is very decisive. But perhaps this tranquility comes with age, which becomes wisdom. Who knows?"

Click on the photos for an alternative American TV version
The Syrian civil war is producing a multitude of remotely-operated, custom-made killing machines — sniper rifles and machine guns which a shooter can trigger remotely with the push of a button.
Remotely-operated guns are common in militaries around the world. The United States has thousands of them mounted on tanks and other armored vehicles. The U.S. Marine Corps is testing a smaller machine-gun robot called MAARS, and other gun-bots have appeared in South Korea, Israel and Russia.
But their adoption by rebel groups is an innovation arising from an intermingling of war, cheap personal computers and cameras. The devices typically use cables to hook up the guns to control stations. Aside from the gun, a complete setup only costs a few hundred bucks worth of off-the-shelf components and some technical skills.
After that, it's just a matter of swiveling the now-teleoperated gun with a joystick, gamepad or a keyboard and triggering the firing mechanism…
While the weapons are hardly new to the Syrian battlefield, an August report published by the U.S. Army's Foreign Military Studies Office listed 20 distinct teleoperated weapons spotted in Iraq and Syria which can be traced to specific armed factions.
The consequences extend beyond the battlefield, as it's usually only a matter of time before weapons of war filter back to the civilian world.
…It's hard to see insurgents matching the scale by which states can deploy teleoperated guns. The weapons in Syria and Iraq are custom made, not mass produced. And armies have a lot more money to spend on research and development.
Still, that insurgents are nonetheless crafting their own versions is something the U.S. military should worry about as an emerging matter of fact in modern warfare.
I imagine there are stores retailing drones which can be adapted for geek death squads in just about every country in the world. Add that to the mix.

Vastavam Web:There was a time when Telugus kept complaining that our Stars & Filmmakers are failing to win at least a few National Awards because of the sub-standard products they have been delivering. But, The situation began changing gradually since 'Magadheera'. Films such as 'Eega', 'Baahubali' and few other Telugu Films fetched few National Awards in major categories in the recent years.
The Jury of National Film Awards announced the winners of Year 2016 just a while ago. Tollywood managed to bag as many as Five National Awards.
Best Feature Film (Telugu): Pelli Choopulu
Best Dialogues: Tharun Bhaskar (Pelli Choopulu)
Best Choreography: Raju Sundaram (Janatha Garage)
Best Wholesome Entertainment Film: Shatamanam Bhavathi
Special Jury Award: Mohan Lal (Janatha Garage, Manyam Puli & etc.,)

These results are based on 2013 Gallup Daily tracking, which asks Americans about the amount of money they spent on purchases "yesterday," excluding normal household bills and major purchases. Americans without children under 18 reported average daily spending of $79, while Americans with children reported a $108 daily average.What's the problem here? Well, the data as reported do not reflect per person spending. If an American family of two adults spends $79 per day, then the average is $39.50 per person per day. If they have one child and the three of them spend $108 per day, the average is $36 per person per day. I'm sorry, but less is not more!
Now, let's go to the Atlantic story:
The drop in U.S. fertility rates in recent years has almost certainly had a negative effect on consumer spending (and, in turn, lower birthrates are probably an outcome of the recession). In particular, childless couples don't need space for more kids so they're less likely to buy homes in the suburbs, depressing demand for housing in an economy that badly needs to sell more homes.First, as I pointed out last September when these birth data came out, the total fertility rate in the US in 2012 was exactly the same as it was in 1987, even though there had been some ups and down in between. The Centers for Disease Control use the General Fertility Rate instead of the TFR and they thus do not take account of changing age structures. Secondly, the low birth rate in the US does not mean that there is some huge number of childless couples. As I pointed out some time back, the percent of women who end their reproductive years without children has risen from 17.4 in 1994 compared to 18.8 percent now. I'm sorry, but this does not sound an alarm in my firehouse.

X64bit.net will also be reviewing a different build each month, not all of them just the key ones that have played a crucial part in developing Vista. I have decided to pull these out of our library and revisit them.
If you have any questions regarding this new Operating System, please feel free to contact either someone on the staff team or a forum member, i am sure they will be glad to help you
Its important you realise that Alpha builds aren't the finished idea, but rather an opportunity for Microsoft to play around and try new things. As you move along through these builds you can tell by using them that they are taking shape and eventually you see a performance gain as things pickup.
The almost constantly changing Themes, Wallpapers and Logon Screens basically show that Vista will look different, and will be better for it!
Longhorn 3683 - 4029
These builds were possibly the most interesting, Build 3683 contained a new Avalon Display Properties, not necessarily better but more accessible and easy to use. The Windows Media Center was included, this wasn't really any different to how it was with XP, this was included i think as more of an indication that it would also get attention. The Desktop Sidebar is basically to complement the desktop and startmenu, we all need space and accessibility and here it is! At first the Desktop Sidebar was transparent, there were tiles that enabled the user to choose what they wanted on the Sidebar. A Clock tile, a Virtual Desktop tile, a Picture Slideshow and a Windows Media Player tile. Although these were mostly broken, they gave an insight into where Longhorn was actually going and some of the features from these early builds are appearing again now in Vista. Even a form of Virtual Folders was present!
In IE there is now a download manager, even though it doesn't work properly its a nice idea. i am forever wondering where i downloaded a file to and this feature will save hassle.
The Plex theme was one of the many themes that were added to Longhorn and then removed, it was similar to the XP Luna theme but with more blue, aside from that were the different Logon screens that Longhorn adopted. Its not unusual to see the actual GUI change slightly or even complete new themes to appear later on.
The main problem with these builds was the horrible memory leak because of the sidebar but it doesn't spoil the fun
My favourite feature from this set is the Download manager, and i love tweaking these builds to make them faster!
Also please note there are NO transparency/Aero effects in these builds, Longhorn 4074 was the first build. In these early builds the effects are called DCE.
Longhorn 4053 - 4083
Immediately the first noticeable difference is the theme has changed again, instead of Plex we see Slate, a black theme which is accompanied with a Black Logon Screen. Longhorn is starting to look sleek and professional!
These builds mainly contained eye candy goodies, features that were destined to return later on, Flip3d and DWM in build 4074 and Aurora which is nice but basically pointless.
Performance improves in these builds but by far 4074 is the best one. After tweaking its almost usable as a main operating system.
The main problem we face with these builds is that XP drivers don't always work, with the earlier alpha's it was possible to run setups and other programs in XP compatibility mode and get away with it, now these builds tend to either work with your hardware or not at all well.
My favourite feature from here is still the sidebar, but also the flip3d in 4074 is cool. This near 3d interface should make Windows more accessible and easier to use.
Longhorn 5048 - 5219
For a long time people were wondering when driver support and speed would appear in the Betas, Longhorn 5048 came with a new look (again) but to everyones disappointment, a logon screen identical to Windows XP's.
Longhorn 5048 was fast and came with DWM that compared to Longhorn 4074's was very clean looking.
As the builds progressed after this toward 5219 the theme changed from a Silver color to Black, DWM improved constantly with zoom/fade effects appearing and even more of a performance boost. Everyone was pleased when a smart looking Logon Screen appeared too!
Despite the apparent performance gain, these builds use a lot of memory and lack the Desktop Sidebar.
My Favourite feature here would have to be the DWM, nothing more impressive than transparency, and as you progress through the build numbers it just gets better and better.
Also in 5219 the 'My Games' Feature returns to the startmenu, this was present but broken in very early builds, and was removed later on.
Internet Explorer 7.0 is looking very smart, and the tabs make browsing the internet easy and tidy. Although Microsoft took a leaf out of Firefox's book, maybe they can take their browser further. We will see.
Vista 5270 - Where we are now!
Since these builds were released, Vista has gained considerable performance, Aero looks cleaner, you can now change the color of the glass in DWM. Media Player 11 has arrived and again the theme has changed.
The 64bit version of Longhorn & Vista deserve a mention, as long as you have a 64bit machine, the performance boost again is considerable, it doesn't mean you have the completed version or anything, but it means you can enjoy it a bit more!
The server editions of Longhorn are similar to the workstation editions, but come with extra tools.
When installing 5270, although it sounds odd we recommend installing the Server edition.
Vista Facts
After Longhorn 4083, the whole project was scrapped and restarted. Instead of being built on the XP platform, future builds were built off Server 2003.
WinFS - WinFS won't ship with vista, but when added it will enable fast, powerful and easy searching. According to Microsoft it won't even be a matter of seconds to find a needed picture, document or any other file for that matter.
DWM is basically the Transparency effects in Vista, these require a decent graphics card.
Some of the features destined to stay are so far
- Aero Interface
- Flip3d
- Media Center
- New Display Properties
- New Logon Screen
- New Theme
- Desktop Sidebar
- 3683
- 3718
- 4008
- 4015
- 4029
- 4051
- 4053
- 4074
- 4083 - 64bit Edition
- 5048
- 5112
- 5219
- 5231
- 5270

EDM 162 - Draw your breakfast
This is a great drawing and I am glad to see you ate some of it as you drew. It has so much texture with the bag, bread and various fillings it goes to show how talented you are.ReplyDelete
Bella has said it all. I like the remains on the right of the page.ReplyDelete
Love your sketch. What is vegetarian ham? Seems an oxymoron. Ham that is not really ham, but tastes like ham?ReplyDelete
Looks good enough to eat...I couldn't sit and paint without eating it actually!ReplyDelete
I am so happy to see you not stopping now that the sketchbook project is finished!
Love the sketch! It made me hungry too :)!
Absolute perfection!!!ReplyDelete
Another excellent drawing.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comments everyone, I actually ate most of the first half straight away!
Vegetarian ham is pretend ham,I don't eat meat so it's sometimes good to have that meat texture and it does taste vaguely like ham.
Glad you explained about vegetarian ham. I was beginning to wonder.ReplyDelete
Great sketch, and your sketchbook project is outstanding!!!!ReplyDelete
It looks delicious and is very well done. I agree with Bella; the textures look so complicated! You are definitely talented!ReplyDelete
looks delicious!ReplyDelete
Wow, it is so realistic!ReplyDelete
So glad to see you have your priorities straight ..... cleaning can almost always wait a bit with no harm done.... drawing? never! nancyReplyDelete
yum - It is almost dinnertime here and now I am hungry ! What is this drawn with and on ? It looks so realisticReplyDelete
looks delicious! =) I just ate and I must say I wouldn't mind having a bite of that!ReplyDelete
Great sketch! sandwich looks yummy. I'm afraid to ask what vegetarian ham is.ReplyDelete
this is so beautifully drawn, i want to take a bite!ReplyDelete

What Is UM/UIM Insurance Coverage?
You may have never heard about it, or if you have, you may really not know what it is. Uninsured Motorist (often referred to as UM/UIM) insurance coverage is a type of coverage that is available on your Washington automobile insurance policy. If you decide to purchase it, UM/UIM coverage can compensate you for damages that have been caused by an uninsured or underinsured motorist.
A related type of coverage is Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage. UIM is designed to pay you for damages caused by another motorist who may not have enough insurance to fully compensate you for all of your damages. UIM is considered "floating coverage." That is, this type of coverage floats on top of the other motorists insurance to provide you an additional layer of coverage if it is needed.
Dollar for dollar, UM or UIM coverage is the best deal money can buy. Usually the cost of this coverage is considerably lower than the standard liability coverage (the type of coverage you buy to pay for damages that you cause another). But I see many people who try to save money by refusing UM/UIM on their policy. This is a big mistake.
Can You Give Me An Example Of UM/UIM Coverage?
Let me tell you about a true story. About a year ago, a woman called me about a car accident she had several months earlier (I'll call her Janet). Janet was rear-ended by another motorist who was uninsured. The other driver was 25 years old, job-less, and had neglected to buy any insurance on his 1990 Honda. The collision was fairly significant, causing more than $8,000 damage to Janet's Ford Taurus.
Janet received a significant neck injury that ultimately required surgery to repair the herniated disc in her cervical spine. She had complications following surgery and another procedure was performed. When she contacted me, Janet's medical bills were more than $80,000.
And they were continuing to accrue because she was still getting treatment and medication for her ongoing symptoms. Fortunately Janet had health insurance through her employer. But her health insurance carrier only paid about 70% of her bills. What was more unfortunate however, was that five (5) years earlier Janet decided to reject UM/UIM coverage so she could save an extra $100 per year. That decision proved tragic.
Janet's decision to reject UM/UIM meant that she really had no recourse against the other driver. Oh sure, she could have sued him. But he was practically judgment-proof. He had no insurance and no assets. She never would have been able to collect anything from that young man.
How Could UM/UIM Coverage Have Saved Janet?
Had she had adequate UM/UIM coverage, Janet could have secured compensation from her own auto insurance carrier. But she had rejected the coverage years ago and never thought to renew it after her financial position improved.
In the end, Janet had to pay more than $20,000 for the past medical care she received for her injuries. Janet had to pay a lot of money for an accident that she never caused. An unjust result to say the least.
My advice to everyone is this: purchase as much UM/UIM coverage that you can afford. The accidents are often caused by uninsured or underinsured motorists. You never know when you could be the next accident victim. UM/UIM coverage must be offered by your carrier. Your rejection of UM/UIM must also be in writing to be valid.
If you or someone you know has any questions about insurance coverage following an accident, or what type of claim may be allowed, please call the Davis Law Group for a free consultation at 206-727-4000.
