For some time I've been wanting to implement the Enfilade, a really
cool data structure discovered by the Xanadu people among others. It's
like a balanced tree, except that it's indexed relatively rather than
absolutely – making it ideal for things like text editor buffers, as
you can insert and delete with impunity, knowing that the changes to
the address of pieces to your right will percolate up the tree.
As there isn't already an implementation on Perl's CPAN I've occasionally planned to do it for fun.
Problems: 1) I'm lazy, and 2) I'm weak in Computer Science, so I
don't even know how to do the balanced binary tree that I need as a
basis. I looked on CPAN some time back, which has some implementations
of trees, but I couldn't figure out how to get them relatively indexed,
and besides which, it's always instructive to implement something for
I bought Okasaki's "Purely Functional Data Structures†some time
back, in a fit of enthusiasm, read the first chapter (a very readable
introduction) and been utterly terrified by the rest of it. But
recently I picked it up off the shelf, read and mostly understood the
chapter on Red Black trees, and had a go implementing it with Perl.
Why a purely functional version? As Okasaki says, the algorithm is
simpler than the destructive one (and potentially very fast). Also I
think that having a persistent, functional tree will make it trivial to
implement things like "undoâ€.
A quick look at the algorithm suggested that I might want lazy
building of the tree structure, and that reminded me of the overview in
Moose's cookbook about a lazy binary tree.
Oddly, the Moose example has "parent†fields, which rather defeat
the point of sharing, but then again Moose is an OO base class, not an
FP language so fair enough. But I've been meaning to learn Moose for a
while so this seemed like a perfect opportunity.
Five hours later (I'm a bit slow, but I suppose that's not bad as
I'm grokking a new library and an algorithm at the same time) I have a
working implementation.
Some notes:
- Moose's "lazy†fields are cute! Actually,
in the end, I didn't use them as the algorithm itself was strict (I
just created a base case using an Empty node class instead.
- "coerce†is lovely. I let the left and right branches be coercable from
- a node (oddly, you have to specify this case explicitly!)
- undef (for an empty node)
- hashref (to create a node initialised with that data)
- other (set the data field to that value)
which made the code very neat and DWIMmy.
- Perl doesn't have algebraic datatypes, so I simulated them with object classes:
|-> Node::E - empty node
`-> Node::T - full node
- Pattern matching allows the MLian languages to do the
Red-Black balancing in 4 lines. But they are 4 dense, ugly lines, that
check 2×2 cases manually, and from which it's very hard to understand
the intent. Okasaki's diagram was much more helpful. I contemplated
- implementing pattern matching for Nodes (or a generic pattern matching for Perl :-)
- doing a hand coded mess of if {} else {} blocks just to get it working
In the end I rejected those and looped the cases [L,L], [L,R], [R,L], [R,R]
storing the details of the path on the way down, and then working back
up to do the rotation. I think the intent is much clearer, but it is a
fair bit more verbose.
- Debugging an algorithm that you don't
understand is hard. I scratched my head for an hour with an unpleasant
bug because I'd forgotten to clone a node before balancing it. (This is
part of the mismatch between FP and Perl – you can do Purely
Functional in Perl, but the language doesn't enforce it in any way, so
you end up maintaining a situation whereby the public API is
functional, but within a subroutine you can mutate the thing you're
working on. End result of this is that you have to keep track of
whether you've mutated something and therefore need to clone it first.
And that means you'll sometimes get it wrong…)
- I don't
really understand how the Red-Black invariants are enforced by the
rotations, but working through this on paper (and later with a pretty
printer) you can see that it really works… wheee!
- That is
to say, I can see the constraint about 2 reds in a row, as it means
that you can't ever have a mismatch of depths without triggering a
rebalance. But the "constant number of blacks to the leaf†is
- I don't understand the optimizations Okasaki
suggests in Exercises 2.2 and 3.10 re not doing too many comparisons,
and not rebalancing uselessly. Will come back to this.
Okasaki suggests that the algorithm is very fast, even without those
optimizations… but my Mooseperl version was not… Of course I'm
doing "Object Functional†but I had the feeling that Moose was giving a
fair amount of overhead.
This isn't a criticism of Moose of course – it's designed for OO
systems, and there, the amount of work that Moose does makes your code
powerful and readable, and some Very Clever People in the Perl world
are developing it, using it, and making it fast.
But an FP algorithm uses many short lived structures, which may make
this overhead untenable. Certainly my test script was noticeably slow,
and profiling may have pointed to Moose as the culprit.
- I say may but Devel::DProf is a buggy piece of shit and suggests that my script completed in negative time, which is not confidence-inspiring.
Actually the other profiling modules (like DProfLB – where LB stands for "Less Bad†seem to do the same thing) Pah.
Moose is beautiful, powerful, and well documented. It seems to be
robust, and gives a lot of the goodness of Perl6 and Ruby, while being
respectively not vapourware, and still Perl.
It makes certain aspects of implementing algorithms in an FP style
very neat to prototype, but seems to be impractical due to the overhead
on short-lived objects. I wouldn't have any reservations to using it
for an OO class though!
- I rewrote the class in
non-moosey Object/Functional Perl, and as expected, this runs in a more
reasonable time. Still need to optimize etc., but it's faster, while
some of the code is clunkier than the Moose equivalent.
You can see the Moosey and non-Moosey code in my svn repo.

Mario's lifetime spent at school
"When he left in 1983 he was replaced by Marion Beha. She came at the time of changes to the curriculum. On the one hand she was very old school but, on the other hand, she brought something new, and balanced them both well.
"She also taught me a lot in the 20 years she was in charge. She tolerated a lot from me as a young man, and was very patient, like a mother figure.
"Then there was Tim Hunter-Whitehaw for five years, and now Alix Ascough, who is currently on maternity leave." She has just given birth to a son,Woody Oscar, weighing 3.13kg. "She is amazing and has done a great job in building a great team that combines perfectly. When you walk in you feel part of the family.
"It is quite scarey because the majority of the teachers were not even born when I started.
"But it has been an exciting 30 years and there have been some huge changes in the educational system over that time.
"The cane was still being used when I was a pupil, and it had just finished when I started working here.
"It is more open now. Teachers are called by their first name now, and there is no standing up for them. It is a more liberal approach.
"The kids are given more responsibility, and given the chance to find themselves."
Mario was born in the area 50 years ago, and his mother still lives in Carburton Street on the corner of Cleveland Street where she can be seen sitting on the doorstep. She came over from Greece just after the second world war.
"It was a great community in those days," recalled Mario. "There were not so many cars in those days so we used to play football in the streets, and on building sites when they were knocking down Victorian buildings and building blocks of flats like Holcroft Court.
"Sometimes we would all get together and have 15 a side, or however many there were of us, down New Cavendish Street and Clipstone Street instead of doing our homework, and playing the ball against walls that sometimes annoyed people.
"There was no television in the afternoons then and we amused ourselves.
"But the kids today are also great and it is always sad when they leave in year six. I have seen children leave, and then their children come here and grow up and leave. Sometimes they come back and tell me stories about their school days and remember me from then."

The case of a white Oklahoma merchant recently convicted of killing a black teenager attempting to rob his store has sparked a national debate.
To critics, 59-year-old pharmacist Jerome Ersland is a gun-toting vigilante who dealt out his own brand of murderous justice. To admirers, Ersland is a courageous and law-abiding hero whose actions were justified. The controversial case became even more volatile Thursday when a jury found Ersland guilty of first-degree murder for the 2009 slaying of 16-year-old Antwun Parker.
Since last week's verdict, supporters of Ersland have collected nearly 10,000 signatures on a petition calling for his release. Oklahoma State Sen. Ralph Shortey (R) also pledged his assistance.
"I'm gonna spend the rest of my career, however long it may be, trying to right this wrong," Shortey told ABC News.
The division is also evident online, within several social media websites. One group in support of Ersland recently popped up on Facebook. Titled "Jerome Ersland should not have been found guilty," the group has more than 3,000 members. Groups against Ersland's release, such as the Facebook group "Do Not Free Jerome Ersland," are also starting to gain momentum, The Daily Mail reported.
The controversy in the case stems from a May 19, 2009, incident in which Parker and another young man who was armed with a handgun burst into Reliable Discount Pharmacy in Oklahoma City. The men allegedly ordered two female employees working behind the counter to give them money and drugs. Instead, the two women ran to the back of the store.
The man with Parker then allegedly pointed his gun at Ersland. The pharmacist drew his own weapon, a small semiautomatic handgun he had in his pocket, and fired at Parker, who was unarmed, striking the youth in the head. Surveillance video from inside the store captured Parker's fall to the ground as Ersland chased his accomplice from the store.
When Ersland stepped back inside the store, he retrieved a Kel-Tec .380 from a nearby drawer and shot Parker five more times. The shooting occurred off camera, so Parker's posture at the time remains unclear.
On the night of the shooting, Ersland told detectives both Parker and the other teen were armed and said that both of them had fired at him.
"I feel that [people have] a right to defend themselves at their home or at their work. People deserve to be safe and not be afraid of people [who] want to take money when they don't work for it," Ersland said in a May 22, 2009, interview with The Oklahoman.
"That's what the Second Amendment and the state's concealed carry license are for," he continued.
During Ersland's trial, his lawyer, Irven Box, claimed the shooting was self-defense. He said Parker was still moving and was still a threat.
"He eliminated the armed robber," Box said in court.
Prosecutors, however, argued that Ersland acted beyond the limits of self-defense. A detective also testified that Parker was not armed during the robbery and said that Ersland's statement that he had been fired on by the teens was not supported by the evidence in the case.
"This defendant was absolutely not defending himself or anyone else," Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Chance told the jury.
The jury deliberated for more than four hours before it found Ersland guilty and recommended a sentence of life in prison for the former Air Force lieutenant colonel.
Ersland is scheduled for formal sentencing on July 11. If the judge follows the jury's recommendation, he will not be eligible for parole until he serves at least 38 years behind bars.

A few years ago a group of prominent modern artists living in New York decided to pool their talents into the making of a motion picture. One of them, Hans Richter, devised for it a story-frame on which several dream sequences could be hung, each to be the responsibility of a different artist. The result was a movie called "Dreams That Money Can Buy," which proved so popular at its private showings that it has now been nationally released.
The single character which links these sequences together is called "Joe." He is presented as an unemployed veteran who finds that he can look into a person's eyes and tell what that person dreams about or wants to dream about. So Joe puts a shingle up on his door saying "Dreams That Money Can Buy," and soon his waiting room is swarming with people, each wanting to buy or sell a dream. As Joe looks into a customer's eyes his technicolored dream is shown on the screen. They are like nothing you've ever seen, unless--but then that's another matter.
The first dream is entitled "Desire" and is the work of Max Ernst, based on his collages for "Le Semaine da Bonte." This dream belongs to a frustrated bank-clerk and seems to be centered around a bed containing a very lush brunette. He steals her away but is literally hounded by conventions of society.
The second, and perhaps less confusing sequence, is called "The Girl with the Pre-Fabricated Heart." ("So normal and well-rounded, but she sends her dreams to the laundry.") It has lyrics by John LaTouche, music by Paul Bowles and features the voices of Libby Holman and Josh White on the sound track. The girl in the case is that familiar type of sexual idealist who later becomes a rampant realist.
The third sequence is by the celebrated photographer-artist Man Ray and has music by Darius Milhaud. In it a group of people are made to imitate the actions of a movie actor (played by Mr. Ray) as they watch him on the screen. It seems to be Mr. Ray's amusing way of showing his rejection of conformity to the herd.
There is also a sequence by Mareel Duchamp derived from his eubistic painting "Nude Descending the Stairway," and Alexander Calder and Dave Diamond have a hand in other portions. The dream I found most interesting, if only for its simple, washroom symbolism, was Mr. Richter's "Nareissus" though to identify oneself with any particular dream is dangerously revealing, I suppose.
"Dreams That Money Can Buy" is a very unusual film and a successful motion-picture experiment on a relatively "home-made" basis. Perhaps other artists of this caliber will now turn towards the cinema and exploit some of its possibilities after witnessing this independent achievement. Mr. Richter's "Dreams That Money Can Buy" should delight anyone with even a smattering of Household Freud.

Title: Clique (Heartsville)

Adam Locke's youthful looks aren't the blessing everyone seems to think. At twenty-eight, he's a successful photographer with his own studio and respected by his peers—but that doesn't seem to matter to the men who catch his eye. Instead, he's brushed aside like an underage twink with a daddy fetish.
When a hot, bearded stranger stops him from accidentally walking into traffic, Adam looks up and finds the man of his dreams. Unfortunately, his first meeting with Brandon ends with him being dismissed as a kid. Again. Adam can't help his annoyance. He also can't help staring (and drooling) whenever he spots Brandon walking through the neighborhood with a different dog.
He watches from afar, wondering about Brandon's story—until the day he's dared to take another chance. It's just the push Adam needs, and finally, he catches Brandon's interest. Now if only he could figure out the key to getting taciturn Brandon to open up and let Adam in. But Adam knows sometimes all it takes is a little patience for the last piece to click into place.
Last visit to the Heartsville gayborhood!
We met Adam in Bookmarked, as Mark's best friend. He is a photographer, looks way younger than he is and has a new obsession: the guy who saved him from walking into traffic.
But Brandon. the gruff and closed off bearded hottie doesn't seem to be all that interested. In fact, he keeps dismissing Adam like he is an underage kid. Until Adam decides to give Brandon a piece of his mind about his ways…
Admittedly, I had some problems with the story. The first POV and the humor didn't work all that well for me. Sex scenes were interrupted twice and the falling out they had towards the end seemed weird. Also, Brandon's mom pissed me off. She was downright offensive to Adam from the beginning and I never understood why.
But, I liked the enemies-to-lovers trope, although it didn't last too long, there is chemistry between them and the steamy scenes are pretty hot. And DOGS, people! So many dogs!
Overall, it was a nice addition to the series.
All books of the Heartsville series work perfectly as standalones and you don't need to read them in a specific order. Recommended for those who are need of a short, sweet, sexy and feel-good read.
Thank you, ladies. I had the best of times in the gayborhood.

So what did my dad eat? At first he really wanted to order food from a Vietnamese stall. He doesn't like eating Vietnamese food at a regular restaurant, but now he wants pho at a food court? I just don't get him sometimes...lol.
He eventually decided to go with something else and ending up choosing George's Famous Soyvlaki, which specializes in Greek/Middle Eastern food! They have a pretty wide selection of combo meals but a lot of it is pre made (aside from the meat) and sits in the display case until someone orders it! My dad stood there for about 10 min torn between the meatball combo or the meat platter LOL and kept asking me which one I would choose since I'm a food blogger haha! I recommended that he go with the combo platter because it seemed like the best deal, so that's want he went with!
Combo Beef Platter w/ Potatoes, rice, salad
2.5/5 stars
This was a fairly large portion! He thought it was okay, but nothing particularly exciting. The beef was semi tender, charred at the edges, with a good amount of flavour. The sauteed onions helped bring out alot of the flavours from the beef. The salad was dressed in a light vinaigrette. There was also a piece of potato on the side and a small serving of tzatzi sauce!

The Melink Corporation developed, integrated and, with support from U.S. Bancorp and Union Bank & Trust, now operates a 3.1 MW ground-mounted array on Rexnord Industries property. The array is connected to Indianapolis Power & Light Company's (IPL) distribution system, making it part of the largest solar photovoltaic (PV) program for an investor owned utility in the Midwest. Construction began in January 2014 and the system was commissioned in April 2014.
Located on a 13 acre Brownfield site in Indianapolis, Indiana, the array consists of 12,040 solar photovoltaic modules and is estimated to produce approximately 4.3 million kWh per year. The system supports Rexnord initiatives to be a good environmental steward.
Melink will be selling the energy, capacity and green attributes to IPL via a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for 15 years. The site is being leased from Rexnord for 15 years. After the initial 15 year PPA term and lease agreement have expired, Melink will work with IPL and Rexnord to continue to sell the energy, capacity and green attributes and operate the system for another 10 to 15 years.

Egg Worm Generator
July 6th, 2009
Egg Worm Generator by Kyle Gabler. This was supposed to be a shooter, where you shoot peacefully evolving creatures. But I didn't finish, and the creatures turned out too stupid to fight anyway. So instead, its a fishtank where you observe randomly generated creatures evolve and kindof learn to walk. Inspired by Karl Sims stuff from 1994. Press 's' to speed it up.
Download and play HERE for Windows.
Update 1: If you have trouble getting it to run, Alan in the comments recommends making sure this Microsoft thing is installed. Thanks for the tip! Does that help?
How fast your worms go is changed by changing the speed level. Speeds are not consistent between regular and fast speed. Which is a shame, actually. I would constantly turn off the fast speed to look at the new generation, and it would never even make it to the right, but then I'd turn it back on and it'd make it to the right in 30 m/s.
Excellent idea, but almost ruined by the inconsistency.
I instaled some pacage to make the games I download from this website to work and I still get this error "(whatever the game is) is not a valid win32 application" what do I have to do to make them work!?
But I have got two concerns with it:
Fist is that another happens in reaction like i does with living creatures. That instinct and behaviour is evolving. (When I'm gong up/ forward im going to… when being to fast or slow I'm going to… when im touching the ground with one part it's reacting etc)
Second the mutation sould happen "among" creatures that are alike, so that groups can form. (having three or four winners)
Just some thoughts ;-)
The people who are asking for a twitter account need to FIND OUT WHAT RSS IS.
Not angry, just want people to read the CAPITAL TEXT. Although it's too late, already, of course.
The game still doesn't work for me. i downloaded and installed the package, but…
Installing the "Microsoft Thingy" works beautifully, thanks. :)
Any chance the source code will ever be provided for this? I'd love to make this more complex with different shapes and variables.
I'm at Gen 8500
All Time Top
These seem to be really fast compared to other peoples.
Oh guys, I'd really love to see more of this, with more features like, saving a generation to let it start again, different environments, high scores, and web exchange possibilities
It's a fucking awesome concept. I'd reminds me of the" Game of Live".
Please keep on developing this!
Commenting once more cuz its so interesting.
You could aswell include a mode to turn off the graphics and let the computer straight away find out about generation, let's say 100 000. Then you would get an output of the fastest worm, and if u do this like 10 times u could compare if one form is simply the best or if there are different ways.
Also this programm seems "chaotic" to me, because theres no way to determine who next round will look.
If a little more developed this programm/ simulation style would offer enough material for a whole doctotr thesis one chaos theorie/biology/evolution/whatsover
If u cut some limitations, and let it run for like a million years the worms might even get conscious of themselves and start a own civilization, with computer simulations of worms….
Every few generations, some worms get born and they're already dead. They didn't even touch the red dot. Why is that?
Other than that: Really cool concept! I'm currently at generation 836 and the fastest guy is from generation 808 with 31,35 m/s.

With 3D becoming increasingly dominant, people are starting to ask questions that they never would have before. Questions like:
Are you considering releasing the game in 3D?
That's what some dude asked Final Fantasy XIII producer Yoshinori Kitase. "We don't know how possible it is to build the game in 3D but we are interested in it," he replied. "In fact, we have already created a 3D Final Fantasy XIII trailer, which is currently showing in Japanese cinemas alongside the film Avatar."
That trailer is currently only available in Japan, but Kitase noted that there might be an opportunity for a wider release in the future.
Fingers crossed that people don't start asking developers this about every single big game that comes out. The tech might be there, but the install base isn't just yet.

This usually works fine, but I invariably shoot too many frames, and as I'm now trying HDR panos, I'd like to get the correct number each time so I'm not filling up my hard drives unnecessarily. I only want to crop minimally if necessary. This visual approach works, but while I can do this without understanding the calculations, I'm the type of person that likes to know the underlying concept and math.

Twilight wrote:Don't use T/S?? What are you talking about? Who would want their horizon in the center always? Rise and fall are incredibly useful in panoramics! And Scheimpflug is your friend if you understand him. Using tilt to increase DOF (so you don't have to close down the aperture) is very useful--especially when you have low light and have wind moving objects in your scene and want to keep the shutter speed up.
lumelix wrote:Hi Jon
These are two seperate problems, this is the missing link;)
First you should calculate the pix/deg of your shift lenses: sensor size/FOV=pix/deg.
This is fix for every fixed lens, even when shifting/tilt them.
This information helps you to select the best lens for a planned pano and the target resolution for the print.
Second is the shooting pattern. You should use 15-25% overlapping. With every lens, you have
a different rotation angle. When your RRS don't have detents, you should use the graduation marks.
Take an integer value that gives you something between 15-25% overlapping.
For your favorite formats: 2:1, 2.4:1, 3:1 there are different shooting patterns, in landscape and portrait mode.
Best way is to create a table with the possible variations, for every lens and orientation mode, from 2 images up to the max FOV that you will shoot.
In such a table you can also calculate the resulting resolution and the max. print size for your preferred print resolution.
So with such a table in your pocket, you can easily and fast select the best lens and pattern when you know the format and print size.
Is this what you are looking for?
Twilight wrote:Exactly... that is the only thing I shoot!

Is there any documentation out there on the proper way to setup database security to allow update authority on the data within the applications but to limit authority when data is being accessed by 3rd party apps like SEQUEL VIEWPOINT or an ODBC connection.
Yes. It's in the Information Center for your OS version/release level. For i5/OS V5R4, for example, you should start by reading the Exit Programs topic and topics around it.
If you cannot set up proper database object authority, then exit programming is just about your only choice (short of product purchases). When network access is allowed, database authorities should be encapsulated in program objects that adopt *OWNER authority. Normal user profiles, and their group profiles, should not have authority across a network to database objects unless you want them to have such authority.

Latest news on Help to Buy
4th October 2013 posted in Property News Buyers
The big news this week in the property market is the early release of phase two of the government's Help to Buy (HTB) scheme. Originally planned for release in January 2014, the scheme will accept applications from 7 October 2013.
Consumers have grown accustomed to a limited supply of 95% mortgages ever since the recession, so the news of a bumper delivery ahead of schedule will rightly cause a wave of excitement. The Help to Buy 'mortgage guarantee' has a clear purpose and will answer a real need by giving options to first time buyers and those homeowners who have seen their equity eroded and been unable to make their next move. It is undoubtedly a welcome initiative from a consumer point of view.
A key ambition over the next three years must be to re-establish 95% lending as part of a balanced and normally functioning market. With the government behind it, the market looks set for continued growth which will hopefully prompt a greater level of overall transactions and more willingness from lenders to get behind those buyers with limited deposits.
Clearly there will be a flurry of activity as lenders bring their implementation and delivery plans forwards, once the final details of the scheme are confirmed. The important thing is for consumers to get clear, consistent messages about the mortgage guarantees, how they work and where they are available. Rather than becoming an overnight sensation, it would be in everyone's best interests if the scheme is managed in a steady and sustainable way.
Kevin Hollinrake, Managing Director of Hunters Property Group says, "The result of the early start for the Help to Buy scheme is that there will very soon be more buyers looking for property so it's a very good time to put your house on the market".
Help to Buy Guide - Your Questions Answered
Help to Buy – what's that?
The scheme announced by George Osborne in March's budget is the Treasury's attempt to encourage banks and building societies to offer mortgages to homebuyers with small deposits for properties of up to £600,000. The first part of the scheme (called Help to Buy Equity Loan Scheme) began in April. It allowed first-time buyers, and movers who want to purchase a new-build house or flat, to borrow 20% of the property's value from the government. Those loans were interest free for the first three years; all borrowers needed was a 5% deposit and a 75% mortgage.
Who is eligible – and for what types of property?
-Existing home owners and first time buyers
-Buyers with a minimum deposit of 5% of the purchase price
-Buyers who are borrowing from a participating lender
-Available in England on New Build properties up to £600,000
-Residential property, where you plan to live in it and not rent it out
-Your only property, so you cannot have an interest in any other property, anywhere in the world
How does it work?
You'll need to put down a deposit of at least 5% of the property price, the government will give you an equity loan for up to 20%, interest free for the first 5 years, and you'll need a mortgage of 75% to cover the rest. As a result of providing you with this assistance, the government is entitled to its money back, plus a share in the future sale proceeds equal to the percentage contribution it made to assist your purchase. This type of loan is known as a 'shared equity' mortgage.
When will I have to pay back the Equity Loan?
The home will be in your name, which means you can sell it at any time. However, you'll have to pay back the Equity Loan when you sell your home or at the end of your mortgage term – whichever comes first. You can also pay back all or part of your Equity Loan without selling your home.
Are there any fees for the Equity Loan?
You won't be charged loan fees for the first 5 years of owning your home. But in the 6th year, you will be charged a fee of 1.75% of the loan's value. After this, the fee will increase every year in line with inflation. The annual increase in the fees is worked out by using the Retail Prices Index (RPI) plus 1%. For instance, if the RPI is 5% at the end of Year 6 of your Equity Loan, the fee will increase by 6% from 1.75% in Year 6 to 1.86% in Year 7 (which is 1.75% + (1.75% x 6%) = 1.86%). Your mortgage adviser can provide you with a more detailed illustration when they help you with finding the right mortgage.
A government-appointed Help to Buy agent will contact you before the fees start, to set up monthly payments with your bank. You'll also be sent a statement about your Equity Loan each year.
What are the interest rates on the mortgage loan?
Lenders offer more competitive rates to borrowers with bigger deposits as they carry less risk. This scheme means that they are only lending 75% of the property value rather than 95% which means you will benefit from cheaper rates of interest than you would otherwise.
What lenders are involved?
A wide range of mortgage providers are involved in the equity loan. Major lenders participating in the first scheme include Barclays, Halifax, Nationwide, NatWest, and Santander. More lenders are joining all the time, and Virgin Money has announced plans to enter the scheme in November.
There are also Help to Buy mortgages available from smaller lenders such as Chorley, Leeds and Newbury building societies, although these may be restricted based on the location of the property.
Is this scheme pushing up house prices?
Although there are some fears the mortgage guarantee phase of Help to Buy will cause a rise in house prices, there are no such fears over the first part of the scheme. This is because the first phase of Help to Buy is linked to housing supply – only new build houses are eligible, which encourages builders to increase production and keeps prices at a steady level.
How many sales have been completed under the scheme?
Figures released in the last week of October showed 15,410 reservations had been made in the first six months following the scheme's launch. This compares favourably with schemes like NewBuy which attracted far fewer sign-ups.
So how is phase II different?
It will see taxpayers underwrite up to 15% of a mortgage for loans where a buyer has only a small deposit, of 5% (or more) of the property's value. Lenders who want to offer mortgages of up to 95% loan to value (LTV) but do not want to take on all of the risk will be able to buy a guarantee from the government for up to 15% of the loan. This allows the lender to claim on the guarantee if the property is ever repossessed and sold at a loss. This second phase was expected to launch in January 2014, but the government now says it will go live in the coming days – although it is not clear when lenders will start to use the scheme.
What will the 'mortgage guarantee' guarantee?
The government will compensate the lender if the property is repossessed and it is unable to recover all its loan from its sale. The deposit would be lost first, and then the government would cover the next 15% of loss. But the lender will also have to take a 5% hit on the government's compensation, to deter it from making reckless loans.
How would that work in practice?
For example, a customer takes out a 95% mortgage on a property costing £100,000, providing a £5,000 deposit. The lender takes out a guarantee with the government for 15% of the property's value.
Subsequently, the lender repossesses the property, and only raises £65,000 by selling it. The deposit is wiped out, and the guarantee then pays out £14,250 – the 15% of the loan covered by the guarantee, less a 5% cut. The remaining £15,000 loss falls on the lender – which would have lost £30,000 without the guarantee.
How long does the guarantee last?
It will be valid for up to seven years after the mortgage is taken out.
What if the property goes into negative equity?
The guarantee will not help the buyer or lender if the property falls in value. It only kicks in if the borrower falls into difficulty with the mortgage and their home is repossessed.
How much will it cost lenders?
This is still the big question, as the price of the guarantee is fundamental to the scheme's success. If it is too expensive, there will be no point in lenders using it. If it is too cheap, it could potentially break European rules on state aid. The Treasury has said it will offer bands of prices based on the LTV of the mortgage, with higher LTVs likely to cost the most as they are the riskier deals.
Will every lender offer it?
Probably not. Industry insiders predict that some lenders will not take part in the scheme. Just three have signed up so far – Royal Bank of Scotland, NatWest, and Halifax.
How much will it cost the taxpayer?
The government has said it will put £12bn into the scheme, which is expected to run for three years. It would lose money in cases where a mortgage holder defaults, and a repossessed property is sold for less than the outstanding mortgage value, even after the mortgage holder's deposit is wiped out. But it should make a profit on loans where the guarantee is not triggered.
Who will be eligible?
Both first-time buyers and movers can apply for the scheme, but they will need to be able to afford the mortgage repayments and will need a reasonably clean credit history: anyone who has a county court judgment against them for more than £500 in the three years before they apply for a loan will be barred. It is not available to people buying second homes.
What type of properties can they buy?
The scheme is available on both new and existing homes costing up to £600,000. Lenders have their own rules about what type of properties they will lend on – for instance, some will not offer loans on homes above shops – and these criteria are likely to still be applied.
As the scheme is not available on second homes, borrowers will be asked to sign a declaration that they do not own another property anywhere in the world. It also is not available on buy-to-let properties, and cannot be used in conjunction with the government's NewBuy scheme.
How will people apply?
It is possible that borrowers will not know that they are applying for a loan through this part of the Help to Buy scheme as the guarantee will be bought by the lender and the deal could happen behind the scenes – lenders might just advertise 95% loans with no mention that they are being backed by the taxpayer. The details are not yet clear. A local independent financial advisor - available through many Hunters branches - should be able to keep you updated and offer advice regarding next steps.
Won't the scheme push up house prices?
The cost of a home has been rising steadily since the chancellor announced Help to Buy. Critics say he is creating a new bubble in thehousing market – a charge the government strongly denies, pointing to lacklustre demand in the regions. However, Osborne appeared to bow to pressure last Friday by giving the Bank of England greater powers to prevent a damaging boom.
So who loses out?
The scheme is bad news for anyone who prudently saved more than a 5% deposit. They may now find they're competing with people with smaller savings who can use Help to Buy to target more expensive properties. Taxpayers could lose out, if many Help to Buy loans turn sour. And there could be wider pain if British house prices do soar and then crash in a few years' time.
For how long is it available?
The scheme has attracted a lot of attention since the government announced that it would be available from October 2013. Despite the early launch, the scheme is set to run until January 2017 as originally planned, however the Bank of England will be monitoring the impact of the scheme closely, and could potentially make changes to the qualifying criteria or withdraw it entirely if they feel it necessary to do so.

I wanted to share with you a brief review of a product I recently recieved:
Uni Brand 100% Pure From Morocco Argan Oil #argan
Argan oil is a hot "wonder product" right now and you can pick it up in any drugstore and of course... on Amazon.
It claims to be an excellent moisturizer for the skin and face, referred to by some as "liquid gold".
Feel free to slather it on your nails/cuticles, and hair.
Here is briefly what I thought:
It moisturizes my face so nicely. I love to use it after a serum and it really soaks into my skin. I have used it under make up and also at night and wake up with fresh looking skin.
Its great for adding just a bit to your hair, or mix in with liquid foundation a TINY bit, or with your lotion for really good moisturization.
I am so happy to have a variety of natural products to use!
I received this product for free to review.

In perhaps the most adorable coming out story ever, 15-year-old Laurel (and Ellen DeGeneres fan) decided to tell her parents she's gay with a cake and a pun-filled note.
Here's the full note, in all its gratuitous pun glory:

Video of the Day: The Onion Mocks Jodie Foster's Quazi-Coming Out Speech
Good morning parents, I'm gay. I've wanted to tell you for a long time. I thought doing it this way would be a piece of cake. I hope you still love me. I mean, it's hard not to love someone who baked you a cake.
All my friends know and still love me. Your acceptance would be the icing on the cake. I hope you, much like this cake, are not in tiers.
I hope we can look back on this and say "boy, this one really takes the cake."
It gets batter.
Love, Laurel (sorry for so many puns)
According to Ellen's Tumblr update, Laurel's parents were supportive of her coming out (and appreciated the cake too).
This just goes to show that you can have your cake and eat it too.

The Fossil Factory brings to life fun and interesting facts about rocks and fossils and the formation of the Peak District. In addition there is a film presentation about how, over millions of years, the landscape of Derbyshire and the caverns at The Heights were formed.
It is also home to the fossilized remains of a giant Ichthyosaur, alive at the same time as the dinosaurs. You can get up close and at around 3 metres long it is one fossil you won't want to miss!


text: Holy **** I've seen some dumb remarks but yours pal takes the cake! OK this is 1 of 2 things A This is someone yanking chains to get a rise and having kicks making obvious ignorant remarks such as "renting wax" OR B This really is a wanna-be clueless poser who has no business being in the water. My advice is IF you can't read the forecast and interpret weather (any REAL surfer or someone who used to do it can at least do that) DON'T BOTHER GETTING IN! But if you have enough balls I'm sure there are 'local' teachers that will give ya a schooling lesson boy!

"Isnt this cowboy stuff just nostalgia,
From some bygone day?
When stockmen move their cattle,
Dont they use quads today?"
The mention of them darn machines,
Kind of stung my cowboy pride,
So I threw out an invitation,
For him to come out for a ride.
So I spent a pleasant day a riding,
With this reporter from the Post,
And for an urban greenhorn,
He was a better hand than most.
He made up with pluck and try,
For the things he did not know.
And I think he saw a trail or two,
Where a quad just would not go!

Employing an apprentice for the first time can be an experience that employers are not always prepared for.
The expectations on both sides are not always realistic and first impressions and the approach to the relationship can be crucial to having a successful outcome.
We have gathered feedback from bricklayers who have learned from their experience and have prepared key points for bricklayers on 'What to Expect' and 'What is Expected of You'.
What to expect of your apprentice:
- Limited knowledge of OH&S
- Limited knowledge of workplace protocol –
call if late/sick
- Minimal strength and stamina at the start
- Parental contact
- Feedback from TAFE/RTO
- 6-8 weeks training at a TAFE/RTO each year
- May not have own transport
- Z Gen characteristics
- Expect weekly improvements in your apprentice, with your training.
What is expected of you as an employer?
- Maintain focus on OH&S standards
- Give clear instructions
- Understand the training requirements
- Develop a relationship with the TAFE/RTO
- Assist the apprentice with travel
- Comply with the award and conditions
- Be a role model and a leader
- Encourage apprenticeship completion
- Adequate on site training including time on the trowel.
Strategies for Z Generation (born in the 1990's) include:
- If you want them to care, you need to care about them
- Job/task variety
- Provide regular constructive feedback
- Encourage career development
- Find common ground
- Encourage pride in the job.

I highly recommend the Ocean City Yacht Club for a wedding reception. The view of the bay is outstanding and the service provided by the staff was beyond our expectations. Thanks to the Yacht Club and the catering service, Nobil on the Bay, for making our daugther's wedding so magical. For Ocean City Yacht Club wedding information I suggest you call Bill McGinnity 609.457.7112 or email Chris at firstname.lastname@example.com

I recently attended a wedding at the Ocean City Yacht club and was very impressed with the venue's location, service and food. I soon found out that Bill McGinnity's was the chef for the event and also the owner of Cousin's Restaurant in Ocean City, NJ so I made it a point to dine at the restaurant.
I highly recommend Nobil Food Services and Cousin's Restaurant!

He had lived his life honorably. Yet… could this be some kind of punishment? Even as his mind reached for answers, his hand reached out and immediately brushed against cold stone. He slowly became aware that he was lying in a very awkward position, that some softer but still formidable mass was packed tightly next to him, and that his left leg was most certainly broken. He rolled to his right and took in a deep breath, trying to ignore the pain in his ribs and leg. Without recourse to the Light he could not heal himself, and so he would just have to live with the pain for now. At least the feeling had returned to his left side. And… he could hear the muffled noises caused by his movements, so his hearing had returned as well.
The fact that he was breathing meant that air was reaching him from somewhere. As his eyes continued to adjust, he spotted a pinhole, not of light, but simply a lighter shade of darkness than that which surrounded him. He reached out farther, and his hand landed on a familiar cylindrical object: the shaft of his hammer. With what little strength he possessed, Nobundo gripped the handle just under the head, lifted and thrust in the direction of the pinhole. Chunks of masonry gave way, vaguely revealing a cramped passage created by the massive stone blocks and the angles at which they had fallen.
His ears were immediately greeted with the sound of muted screams, wails of pure terror issuing from some distance away. He used the hammer to pull his upper torso through the hole he created and into the tight space. As he did, he heard a deep moaning sound from the depths of the rubble behind him. With a burst of strength he pulled himself the rest of the way into the passage, stifling the urge to cry out as his broken leg raked across the jagged stone threshold and sent lances of pain throughout his body. The labored moans continued. The stones around him shifted, and sand and dirt filtered down through the cracks. Quickly he dragged himself toward an irregularly shaped egress, where he spied the faintest hint of light.

Colorado has never been short on novelty shows. We've had beach parties, fort-building parties, high-concept art-installation shows -- you name it, we've probably tried it at least once. That said, we're pretty certain that Sk8Bit, slated to take place on Saturday, June 18, at Rollerland in Fort Collins, is Colorado's first chiptune roller-disco party. (Well, unless you count Rollermania, but we're pretty sure that never had a chiptune month.)
"I wanted to do an all-ages show to showcase the different styles of chiptune and bring it to Colorado for everyone to enjoy," says organizer Marty Kraham. Combine that with roller skating, and you've got a slightly twisted version of those roller-skating birthday parties you went to as a kid.
Ten bands from around the U.S. will be coming in to play the event, which will feature not only chiptune groups, but also live video-glitching, a laser show and more. "There's this kid, Kool Skull," Kraham points out. "He's seventeen years old, from L.A., and is getting on a Greyhound bus and coming all the way out here. That's what 8-bit music is all about."
It won't just be a roller-skating, 8-bit wet dream for those at the party: You can revel in the magic at home, thanks to a planned live stream. Here's the list of acts that have been confirmed thus far:

Monumental Inscriptions.
The parish contains three burial grounds; at Old Rerrick churchyard, at Dundrennan Abbey and at Auchencairn cemetery.
The Parish of Rerrick. The Parish of Rerrick occupies an area of 20,447 acres of land, which includes some of the finest and most unspoiled coastal scenery in Galloway. Rugged cliffs, heughs, sheltered bays and spectacular caves all feature in the landscape and were the scene of much smuggling activity in the 18th Century. Most of the landward area is arable and the rest consists of woodland, moorland and waste ground. The distinctive gently pointed summit of Bengairn rises to 1200 feet, providing a vantage point from which to enjoy fine views of the whole of the parish as well as a distant panorama of the Lake District hills.
As in the rest of Galloway, the number of people engaged in agriculture has fallen during the 20th Century due to increased mechanisation and many former farm cottages have in consequence become holiday homes, or homes for retired people. The Ministry of Defence requisitioned a large area of coastal land during the Second World War and that land continues to be used, both as a military and a civilian training area. The resulting lack of access to the coastline is greatly regretted by most people, although the lack of access has however protected much of the land from other unattractive development and in recent years public access has been restored to as many parts of the land as possible so that walkers, ornithologists and geologists are once more able to appreciate at least some of its charms.
The two main settlements are the villages of Auchencairn and Dundrennan. Auchencairn is beautifully sited at the head of Auchencairn Bay and is an attractive old village of some charm, retaining a village school, a public house, a church and a community shop. A considerable community feeling exists and the recent construction of a number of new houses has expanded the population and may help local businesses to develop. The smaller village of Dundrennan is linear in form, and its modest buildings overlook the impressive ruins of the Cistercian Abbey of Dundrennan, standing among trees on the bank of the Abbey Burn. Dundrennan has sadly lost its public house and its school, and has not profited from much expansion in its housing stock in recent years. It slumbers peacefully on however, hopefully awaiting a time when its beautiful setting and its magnificent Abbey attract both more visitors and some new residents.

"It is mainly an organic approach offering a pedagogical framework to improve teaching and learning processes.The model includes projectbased learning and our target is to impart this learning process to underprivileged children, specially those of the
tribal communities and minorities," said Amina Charania, ITE head of Tata Trusts.The target group is mainly
students from classes V-VIII.
The ITE team at Tata Trusts is teaming up with Tata Trusts resource partners
and state and district education departments to implement the programme in several states with prime concentration in Bengal, Assam and Uttar Pradesh. The resource partners in Bengal are Suchana Uttor Chandipur Community Society , Vikramshila Education Resource Society , Samaritan Help Mission, Child in Need Institute and Street Survivors India. The teachers are prepared to design lesson plans, based on which students will create ITE projects conducting surveys and interviews with people of their community and by applying knowledge and skills they learn in the classroom to analyse their environ
ment with technology .
"There are a number of Santhal communities here.Given the living conditions, it is heartening to see the interest in these children. They really want to learn," said Rahul Bose, co-founder and coordinator of Suchana.
There are, however, obstacles given that the basic infrastructure is lacking in many villages, including unhygienic living standards, limited power connectivity and inadequate number of teachers. But the objective is to expand the initiative by approaching more schools and talking with the district administration, said a Suchana team member.

Follow my logic.
According to this poll: 22% of people think the end will occur within their lifetime.
Now, Jesus warns that his parousia, his second coming, will take place like a thief in the night--i.e., when no one is expecting him to come.
Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the householder had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect. (Matt 24:42-44).So, should I conclude from this that Jesus isn't coming any time soon?
[NB: Lest I get any concerned comments, this post is dripping in sarcasm.]

The City of Sacramento is moving ahead with plans to determine the feasibility of a new, downtown, performing-arts theater.
As early as next week, the City will interview four consultants who are competing to perform a feasibility study.
Jody Ullich is the Director of Convention and Cultural Services for the city.
"There's been a lot of technology that now exists in performing arts centers that we are not offering to our patrons. And we also have some great organizations out there -the ballet, symphony, opera- that really would benefit from having a first-class facility to perform at."
Ullich says the study will identify possible locations, sizes, and costs of a new theater. She says it would complement the new arena.
A consultant could be selected within a month.
The City Council created a task force to look into the matter about six months ago. The task force will give its first report to the City Council tonight.

Sociology is the systematic study of human social interaction, social groups and society. Social interaction involves two or more people in the process of influencing each other's behavior. Such processes include cooperation, competition, conflict and exchange. Social groups are based on interaction and may take a variety of forms from voluntary to involuntary, small and large, simple and complex, informal and formal organization. Social groups, individually and collectively operate within the broader context of human social relations we call society. Sociologists seek to understand how, why and in what ways humans interact, form groups and bring about stability and change in the society in which we all live.
Sociologists use a variety of research strategies including surveys, observation, and experiments. Sociologists also employ different theoretical approaches that emphasize scientific methods for observation and analysis as well as methods that involve experience and description. In many ways, sociology forces us to step outside our own social circumstances and lives and take an "outsider's perspective" in examining the assumptions and inconsistencies of our own daily worlds. This is part of what has been called the "sociological imagination" and, because this approach often challenges traditions and deeply held beliefs, those unfamiliar with sociology often find it unsettling.
Sociology is closely related to its sister disciplines, especially cultural anthropology and world history. While anthropology traditionally has concentrated on non-western, pre-industrial societies, sociology has focused more on western, industrialized nations. This distinction has changed, however, as the peoples of the world have become increasingly interconnected economically, politically and culturally. Sociologists have become involved in cross-cultural comparisons and analysis and cultural anthropologists have turned their interests toward urban, post-industrial nation-states. The processes creating the modern global world have been at work for at least the last five centuries and anthropology and sociology cannot be fully understood without a firm understanding of the history of world civilization.
Sociologists may apply their skills in action-oriented work, consulting work, or teaching and basic research. In addition, the skills and tools in sociology are valuable when applied in a variety of occupations.Student Section of the American Sociological Association .
Sociology courses at Mountain College are designed to accomplish three goals:
Provide students with sound academic preparation by meeting the basic standards of transfer level courses necessary for further college and university requirements.
Stimulate interest in the field of Sociology and encourage students to consider Sociology as either a major or a minor.
Create awareness of social conditions, appreciation for diverse cultures and develop both intellectual and investigative skills applicable for recognizing and solving social problems in the communities in which we live, local, regional, national and global.
Explore the many facets of society with one of Mountain View College's many Sociology courses.
Courses cover a wide variety of social considerations, including: marriage, race, sexuality, crime, social issues, and family.
