From the base of my palm to the end of my middle finger is 6.5 inches (~16.5 cm). Yes, I have small, almost childlike hands; this is an important factor to consider for how much I enjoy using this mouse. And I do "enjoy" using it as much as I enjoy using any controller or interface that doesn't impede my gaming or my computer use. The Speedlink Decus Respec gaming mouse is anything but unwieldy. In fact it is very wieldy and I very much like it indeed. It also works straight out of the box, so if you don't want any of the extra features straight away then go ahead.
Lets get the actual looks of it out the way first. As a gaming mouse, it has to look cool and edgy, and I might be a little too old now to make a judgment on that but it looks pretty slick with its red and black shell, and "breathing lights" (that can be made static or turned off if you are a super uncool old person) that can be any colour of the rainbow, in a sort of neon light sort of way. Which I think constitutes the cool and edgy factor. And I'm sure my "fellow kids" would agree.
The second feature that most people won't worry or care about is the adjustable weights. Measuring in at 4.5 grams each, four of these badboys sit in an easily accessible hatch on the underside of the mouse (which can be plugged in and working while you adjust it). Their holster is rubbery and they're fairly simple to remove and put back in. Their total weight is 18 grams, which is less than one of those Helix shatterproof rulers that were in English schools when I was a kid. I tried both with and without these weights and I honestly couldn't tell the difference. It's so minute a difference in a mouse that already glides about on my mousemat, that I don't think that most people will really be able to tell the difference either. It's nice that it can be used but I won't be using it again.
Onto the touchy feely; the plastic is smooth, slightly rubberised and molded into that lovely shape where your thumb fits into a slight groove underneath the two thumb buttons, with two more pronounced grooves for your ring finger and little finger. It's an ergonomic design and I've found it comfortable to use for extended periods of time. I notice it less than my previous mouse, possibly because it's a mite bit softer to the touch too.
As for how it plays, well, once you sort out the dpi/sensitivity for whatever game you like to play, it all works like a dream. I'd been using a dirt cheap unbranded mouse of an identical shape with only minor differences in button sizes (and a whole lot of difference in build quality) and I can see the difference in my aiming. I play Warframe. A lot. And with my previous mouse I noticed I was all over the place with my aim. My movements were a bit stuttered and staggered, so even on higher sensitivities and dpis, I wasn't aiming particularly well. I have noticed a much smoother aim, and while I'd like to say that it's personal improvement, it did only take effect after switching mice.
The Macro functionality is something I'm very against with controllers as they are purely made for gaming and are usually only there for exploitation online. Mice on the other hand can be used for that but when you can mix Macro functionality with various interchangeable profiles it not only gives an edge to players, but also workers. Seriously. Mundane tasks like copying things from one window to another can be done all on the mouse. The sheer time saved, or at the very least the slight cut in RSI ctrl+c and ctrl+v would be a godsend. Then again I couldn't use this at work, but it would've been a huge boon if I had been allowed to.
The only real criticism I have of it is, that the middle mouse button is too easily pressed. It's not that it's hugely delicate but I did end up accidentally clicking it on numerous occasions when I was just scrolling upwards. If you're real gentle then you'll probably be alright but I, gentle as I may be, still managed to click it mid scroll many a time. Perhaps I am just very mighty and don't really know my own strength. More likely, it's just a tad too sensitive to being pushed.
I really like the Decus Respec. It's the exact shape that I like from my mice, it's soft to the touch, and it's much smoother and more precise than I was expecting. I'm not one to generally think too much into the differences good peripherals can make but this has very pleasantly surprised me. Especially since my aim has gotten far better in Warframe again. It's far more expensive than the cheapo rubbish I normally get for mice but then again its quality makes a good go at justifying the price, and it's not exactly at the expensive end of the gaming mice scale. I think the only way to be disappointed by a mouse like this is if you're really in need of a greater number of programmable buttons in the palm of your hand. Other than that, this seems like a very decent option.

Roosevelt Island Operating Corp Chief Financial Officer Frances Walton Retiring - RIOC Will Soon Be Looking For A New CFO
Learned today that Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) Chief Financial Officer Frances Walton
Image Of Ms. Walton From RIOC
is leaving her position. I asked RIOC President Charlene Indelicato if that is true. Ms Indelicato confirmed and added:
Frances Walton, RIOC's Vice President and Chief Financial Officer is retiring from State service as of December 4, 2015. Frances' decision to leave RIOC is a huge loss to the administration of the corporation and also a personal loss. Not only has she been unendingly supportive and instrumental in furthering of the state's goals of good government by transparent and judicious use of state funds but has involved herself in the many projects of RIOC.Ms Walton is an avid marathon runner having completed this year's NYC marathon.
I am saddened by her departure and know that it will be extremely difficult to fill her "marathon" sneakers.
The Proposed Fiscal Year 2016 - 2017 RIOC Budget is expected to be approved at the December 3 RIOC Board of Directors meeting.
Ms Walton was named RIOC CFO in January 2014 after a long career as CFO at the NY State Empire Development Corp (NY EDC).

Around 177 A.D., near what is known as south-western France, a traveling merchant sent a personal letter to his brother about his encounter with a zombie:
- "He came from the woods, a man of stinking rot. His gray skin bore many wounds, from which flowed no blood. Upon seeing the screaming child, his body seemed to shake with excitement. His head turn in her direction; his mouth opened in a howling moan... Darius, the old legionary veteran, approached... pushing the terrified mother aside, he grabbed the child with one arm, and brought his gladius around with the other. The creature's head fell to his feet, and rolled downhill before the rest of his body followed... Darius insisted they wear leather coverings as they pitched the body into the fire... the head, still moving in a disgusting bite, was fed to the flames."
This passage should be taken as the typical Roman attitude toward the living dead: no fear, no superstition, just another problem requiring a practical solution. This was the last record of an attack during the Roman Empire. Subsequent outbreaks were neither combated with such efficiency nor recorded with such clarity.

It's Time for the Equality Act
The month of June is LGBTQ Pride Month in the United States. Each year, Pride events are held nationwide in cities large and small, and for some people, it is the only occasion where they can be out and proud in their community. Pride festivals and parades are a celebration of the progress the LGBTQ community has made, but also a time to recognize the distance we still have to go to achieve full equality. This June, we're excited to feature a guest post from Human Rights Campaign's Liz Cooper.
By Liz Cooper, Associate Director, Workplace Equality Program, HRC Foundation
Discrimination is a real and persistent problem for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) Americans. Polling done by The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the organization I work for, found that nearly two-thirds of self-identified LGBTQ Americans report experiencing discrimination. HRC strives to end discrimination and realize a world where LGBTQ people are ensured of their basic equal rights, and can be open, honest, and safe at home, at work, and in the community.
A fully inclusive work culture is not only possible, it can be the new standard for employers, and my job at HRC is to engage directly with employers to identify and improve LGBTQ-inclusive policies and practices. Each year, HRC releases the Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking tool rating corporate policies and practices pertinent to LGBTQ employees.
By participating in the annual CEI survey and report, employers send a clear message that LGBTQ equality is a business priority. Corporate America has really led the charge on LGBTQ equality and setting standards for workplace equality has positively impacted the lives of countless employees and their families.
Symantec has been listed on the CEI for 11 consecutive years and has earned a perfect score since 2009. Symantec is one of 571 employers that earned the designation a "Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality" in 2019. Its score reflects a continued commitment to equality, including launching the company's Transitioning in the Workplace guidelines, which provide a clear, documented process for how to undergo a gender transition on the job and growing the Pride Employee Resource Group to serve as champions for the LGBTQ community.
Symantec has been an HRC Bronze National Partner since 2014, and has helped us in our fight for marriage equality, against HB2 (North Carolina's discriminatory "bathroom bill"), and is part of HRC's Business Coalition for the Equality Act.
Working towards a federal legal standard for non-discrimination
HRC is focusing our efforts at the Federal Level to pass "The Equality Act". We've recruited more than 220 of the nation's leading businesses, including Symantec, to be a part of the Business Coalition for the Equality Act. With a combined operation in all 50 states, more than $4.7 trillion in revenue, and more than 11 million employees across the United States, these companies know how important it is to have a federal legal standard that guarantees all employees the same rights and protections — no matter where they live.
On May 17, a bipartisan majority of the U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass The Equality Act. "This historic vote is a major milestone for equality and sends a powerful and profound message to LGBTQ people, especially LGBTQ youth, that the U.S. House has their backs," said HRC President Chad Griffin. "No one's rights should depend on which side of a state or city line they live on, and today we took a giant step forward in our journey toward full equality."
As HRC takes the fight to the U.S. Senate and turns up the pressure on Leader McConnell to allow a vote on this crucial legislation, you can support our work by volunteering locally or donating to ensure this essential work is sustained. It's time for The Equality Act—and we need your help as an individual, as a company, as an ally, to ensure full lived equality for all LGBTQ people.

Khusrau Mirza (Urdu:خسرو مِرزا) (16 August 1587 – 26 January 1622) was the eldest son of the Mughal emperor Jahangir.[2]
Early life[edit]
Khusrau was born in Lahore on August 16, 1587.[3] His mother, Manbhawati Bai (who was given the title Shah Begam after his birth), was the daughter of Raja Bhagwant Das of Amber (Jaipur), head of the Kachhwaha clan of Rajputs. She committed suicide on May 16, 1605, by consuming opium.[4]
Khusrau's first wife and chief consort was the daughter of extremely powerful, Mirza Aziz Koka known as Khan Azam, son of Jiji Anga, Emperor Akbar's foster mother. When Khusrau's marriage was arranged with her, an order was given that S'aid Khan Abdullah Khan and Mir Sadr Jahan should convey 100,000 rupees[5] as sachaq to the Mirza's house by the way of Sihr baha.[6] She was his favourite wife, and was the mother of his eldest son Dawar Bakhsh,[7] and his second son Prince Buland Akhtar Mirza born on 11 March 1609,[8] and died in infancy.
Another of Khusrau's wives was the daughter of Jani Beg Tarkhan of Thatta.[9] She was the sister of Mirza Ghazi Beg. The marriage was arranged by Khusrau's grandfather, Emperor Akbar.[10][11] Another of his wives was the daughter of Muqim, son of Mihtar Fazil Rikabdar (stirrup holder). She was the mother of Prince Gurshasp Mirza born on 8 April 1616.[12][13] Khusrau had a daughter Hoshmand Banu Begum, born in about 1605, and married to Prince Hoshang Mirza, son of Prince Daniyal Mirza.[14]
Rebellion and aftermath[edit]
In 1605, the emperor Akbar died. Akbar had been deeply disappointed with Khusrau's father Jahangir. Perhaps due to this background, Khusrau rebelled against his father in 1606 to secure the throne for himself.
Khusrau left Agra on April 6, 1606[15] with 350 horsemen on the pretext of visiting the tomb of Akbar at nearby Sikandra. In Mathura, he was joined by Hussain Beg with about 3000 horsemen. In Panipat, he was joined by Abdur Rahim, the provincial dewan (administrator) of Lahore. When Khusrau reached Taran Taran near Amritsar, he received the blessings of Guru Arjan Dev.[16]
Khusrau laid siege on Lahore, defended by Dilawar Khan. Jahangir soon reached Lahore with a large army and Khusrau was defeated in the battle of Bhairowal. He and his followers tried to flee towards Kabul but they were captured by Jahangir's army while crossing the Chenab.[17]
Khusrau was first brought to Delhi, where a novel punishment was meted out to him. He was seated in grand style on an elephant and paraded down Chandni Chowk, while on both sides of the narrow street, the noblemen and barons who had supported him were held at knife-point on raised platforms. As the elephant approached each such platform, the luckless supporter was impaled on a stake (through his bowels), while Khusrau was compelled to watch the grisly sight and listen to the screams and pleas of those who had supported him. This was repeated numerous times through the entire length of Chandni Chowk.
Khusrau was then blinded (in 1607) and imprisoned in Agra. However, his eyesight was never completely lost. In 1616, he was handed over to Asaf Khan, the brother of his step-mother Nur Jehan. In 1620, he was handed over to his younger brother Prince Khurram (later known as emperor Shah Jahan), who incidentally was Asaf Khan's son-in-law. In 1622, Khusrau was killed on the orders of Prince Khurram.[18][19]
After the death of Jahangir in 1627, Khusrau's son, Prince Dawar was briefly made ruler of the Mughal Empire by Asaf Khan to secure the Mughal throne for Shah Jahan.
On Jumada-l awwal 2, 1037 AH (December 30, 1627[20]), Shah Jahan was proclaimed as the emperor at Lahore. On Jumada-l awwal 26, 1037 AH (January 23, 1628[20]), Dawar, his brother Garshasp, uncle Shahryar, as well as Tahmuras and Hoshang, sons of the deceased Prince Daniyal, were all put to death by Asaf Khan,[21] who was ordered by Shah Jahan to send them "out of the world", which he faithfully carried out.[22]

As an elderly individual gets older, one of the big issues that can come up is where they will live. This includes the big decision of whether they will continue to live at home or instead move into a senior care facility.
Wanting an elderly loved one to keep living at home common
Pet-related concerns in estate planning
Estate planning can be used to address a range of concerns elderly individuals have about the future. This includes concerns regarding their pets. A pet can be a very beloved companion. So, an elderly pet owner may care very much about putting protections in place to ensure their cherished companion is cared for in the future, whatever the future holds.
Why adult children and their elderly parents need to talk about fraud
The majority of adult children whose senior parents live on their own will go out of their way to ensure that their mother and father are living safely and comfortably. Depending on the circumstances, this could mean little more than daily phone calls, or it could also mean regular visits to perform chores and wellness checks.
Passwords and estate planning
Yesterday was World Password Day. This day is aimed at raising awareness of the importance of strong passwords when it comes to cyber-security. So, passwords are something that might be fresh on a lot of people's minds right now.

Car HID, LED & Fog Lights
Car HID / LED and Fog Lights
What's the difference between HID, LED and Halogen lights?
High intensity discharge (HID) lights can help light your way more efficiently than halogen lights. The ballast carefully regulates the voltage supplied to the capsule of gas which produces light greater than the standard halogen bulb while consuming less power.
Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) are light sources utilizing diodes that emit light when connected in a circut. LED's create light through the re-combination of electrons positively and negatively charged electrons. LED lights are efficient and extremely resilient over long periods of time.
Halogen lights are the most commonly used lights for vehicles, but this changing because they are quite fragile. For instance a small amount of oil from your hands while changing halogen bulbs can affect performance of the lights. They also create a large amount of heat.
We carry all types of lighting for cars including HID, LED, Halogen and Xenon lights. Our specialists can help you pick the best lights for your car and purpose. For instance if you do a lot of night driving then you may want to consider using Xenon lights because the blue-white light emitted is very bright and can light the road ahead for a decent distance, although they have been known to "blind" other drivers.

Online food delivery has just been given its greatest novelty yet, an unmanned helicopter that delivers tacos straight to you. This new concept, called Tacocopter, is a new startup out of Silicon Valley which has recently garnered a huge internet following.
The idea behind Tacocopter is that anyone can order tacos on their smartphone, which will send a GPS location to the unmanned drone helicopter. The helicopter will then be equipped with made-to-order tacos and will fly out to find you and drop your food off right where you're standing. Payments will happen online, making it a simple process for the helicopter to drop off your tacos and immediately fly back to the restaurant to take the next order.
The only catch is that Tacocopter isn't exactly legal in the United States yet. Currently, the U.S. government is blocking the launch of Tacocopter, which has been around since July 2011, because of FAA regulations that prevent unmanned aerial vehicles to be used for commercial purposes.
Tacocopter cofounder Star Simpson said, "Honestly I think it's not totally unreasonable to regulate something as potentially dangerous as having flying robots slinging tacos over people's heads…On the other hand, it's a little bit ironic that that's the case in a country where you can be killed by a drone with no judicial review."
In addition to the FAA regulations, Tacocopter faces a myriad of technical issues such as navigating through urban areas, keeping the tacos warm, creating a city map with precision to ensure that no crashes occur, avoiding birds, telephone wires and anything else that might interfere with the delivery. Indoor deliveries and theft from others are further complications with Tacocopter, keeping the product firmly grounded until some headway can be made.
In the meantime, the Tacocopter website is up and running, and offers some enticing visuals to keep us waiting with baited breath until we can start ordering flying tacos. Simpson is currently working on other projects but always heads back to Tacocopter, convinced that the benefits of the product outweigh the barriers.
Food delivery by drones could help reach locations previously unreachable, and they could eventually be used to serve customers in restaurants as well. The full implications of this product could transform the food industry, though Simpson states that the goal of Tacocopter is not to replace human labor in the restaurant industry.
Ultimately, if Tacocopter ever gets off the ground it should have a huge following, appealing to Americans' love of food, gadgets, and laziness. With the U.S. government as the primary obstacle keeping Tacocopter grounded, we're hoping that the FAA can make a small exception for flying taco delivery.

Q. I have noticed that my computer, even when I am doing nothing (it's on and running), will have this noise like it's working and the red light is flashing. This is happening more and more. Is my CPU getting ready to die? It's only about a year and half old.
A. I do not believe your CPU is getting ready to die. There are a number of different reasons why your hard disk may be constantly running or showing activity even when you are not doing anything.
Although you are inactive your PC is doing things. If you press ctrl-alt-del and select the Task Manager, you will see that there are any number of background tasks running on your PC, such as anti-virus software, firewalls and so forth. And if you are connected to the Internet, Windows itself might be searching for updates or communicating with sites on the Internet.
Some of this activity is normal and some of it might indicate a problem. You should take a few steps to rule out the problem causes.
First of all you should perform some routine system maintenance. Clean out your temp files, defragment your hard drive, run a full anti-virus scan, check for spyware etc. These are all things that could cause unusually high disk activity.
Another cause of excessive hard drive access is too little random access memory (RAM). If you have very little RAM and run large applications or open up multiple windows the operating system has to write to the hard drive to keep up. As you quit applications of move back and forth the PC has to write and erase data on the hard drive. This could go on even after you stop working on the PC.
One last tip. Try rebooting. If the PC has been on for a few days or more it couldn't hurt to just do a system restart.

It was over 20 years ago when the Suburban Mama and I first became friends in college. If someone told me back then that one day the two of us would be in Orange County raising a couple of boys each, I would have never believed it. Yet here we are, as happy as can be.
When we first met, I was at the beginning of a 17 year long career as a broadcast journalist in Manila. I juggled hosting TV shows, reporting and anchoring 2 newscasts around my junior and senior years in college. As a result, I didn't have many friends because I was always running after a deadline or a call time. But when I did, they made a lasting impression on me, like she did. Right after college, I was pirated by another station where I became a full time reporter, news anchor and started a daily newspaper column. I was successful very early on in my career, soon tackling a women's talk show and several award winning news and public affairs programs. I was extremely busy, my days were awfully long, and while I did feel accomplished – somewhere deep down inside, I was empty.
My friends, one by one, all settled down and were married with children. And there I was, married only to my career. Traveling the world and being on the first name basis with the movers and shakers of the country was exciting, but at the end of the day, I was always alone. I had also begun to lose touch with my friends.
One day I decided that I had enough. I tendered my resignation and started to pack my bags. I wanted to start my life all over again and discover what my true calling was. I knew that if I stayed in the Philippines, the temptation to go back to TV would be too much.
In a whirlwind romance, I married one of my closest friends and moved back to the US. We settled in Orange County where we are raising our two little boys, only 22 months apart in age. I worked the first few years we lived in California, but just before becoming pregnant with our second, we decided that it would be best for the kids if I were to stay at home and raise them myself.
I had already experienced a very full life with my television career. Little did I know then that being a full time mother would not only be 500x more demanding, it was also a million times more fulfilling.
I don't think I have ever worked harder in my life. Sometimes I think that keeping up with the never ending questions of my 4 year old is harder than any talk show that I have ever hosted. Yes, with my old job once in awhile I'd get called in at 3am to cover a sinking ship or something. But nowadays, middle of the night wake up calls happen on a weekly basis.
But I have a life now. And I am no longer alone. In fact, I have never felt more important in my whole life. I feel like I making a difference, if only in the lives of my boys. Being a wife and a mother trumps any glamorous TV job I have ever had before.
And even better, one by one, I have started to get in touch with all those friends who became mothers before me. We speak the same language now. And it's just amazing.

On April 27th, in cooperation with the Haniel Foundation, the Brandt School hosted a guest lecture, featuring Anne Orford. Orford is a professor of international law at Melbourne Law School in Melbourne, Australia. The lecture was followed by an open discussion and a question and answer session.
The title of the lecture was Practices of Protection: The Role of the UN in the Decolonised World. The lecture focused on the notions of the UN's responsibility to protect, as well as its accountability and legitimacy. Professor Orford used Libya as a modern case study, critically considering NATO's and the UN's role (resolution 1973) in the 2011 overthrow of the Libyan government.
Professor Orford also gave a history of the UN's role from the 1950s and 60s, especially in regards to decolonization, specifically citing the examples of Congo and Egypt and the creation of the UNEF. She mentioned that these two operations, the operation in Suez and the 1960 operation in the Congo, changed classical views of colonization and highlighted the political vacuum created by the chaos of decolonization as the UN stepped in. The Congo operation in 1960 also proved that the UNs notions of independent, impartial, and neutral were defunct. Professor Orford also discussed the complications with the word 'decolonization' itself, especially in light of recent events regarding the responsibility to protect in Libya. According to Professor Orford, many are losing sight of the radical nature of the concept of responsibility to protect.
Around 40 Brandt School students attended this lecture and many participated in the discussion.

Position on board: Board Member
Occupation: Retired, Education Administrator
Why I serve on the SCHC board: I am serving on the board because the access to quality and affordable health care is a significant community need in Josephine County. Because of my experience in working with adolescents for the past 25 years in local high schools, I see that medical and dental care makes it possible for many of our young people to remove hurdles to their education so they have a better chance of becoming successful and well-adjusted adults who are able to make their own way in life.

Tune in This Week: "Writers on Writing" Radio Show with Marc Lamont Hill
"Writers on Writing" Radio Show with
Dr. Brenda M. Greene, Executive Director
Featured Guest: Marc Lamont Hill
Sunday, September 9, 2018
7 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Medgar Evers College, CUNY
Listen at wmec.mec.cuny.edu
About the Program
Dr. Brenda Greene talks with activist, journalist, and scholar Marc Lamont Hill. In the foreword of Hill's most recent book, Nobody: Casualties of America's War on the Vulnerable from Ferguson to Flint and Beyond, Todd Brewster writes: "The ghost of Ralph Ellison hovers over this book." Brewster notes that the invisibility of African-Americans as described by Ellison continues and its evidence is in the deaths of many African-Americans who are victims of the state and "vigilante" violence. Greene and Hill discuss the genesis of the book and the factors that contribute to the trope of "Nobody," those who are most vulnerable as a result of the public housing system, the demonization and privatization of public services, the public education system, the prison industrial complex, etc. Hill's analysis of race and class is thought-provoking and reveals a crisis in America.

Scotland will enjoy the "world's biggest wave energy farm" after Scottish ministers agreed to fund a major installation at the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney.
The £13m package will allow further deployment of Leith-based Ocean Power Delivery's Pelamis system, one of which is already installed and tested at the site, while providing cash for other "marine energy devices" to be put through their paces.
The Pelamis recently attracted the attention of the Portuguese government, the BBC reports, and last year a number of its tubular segments were shipped for deployment off the country's northern coast (see pic below). The plant will eventually provide juice for 1,500 homes.
In announcing the Orkney funding, Deputy First Minister Nicol Stephen declared: "Today marks a vital milestone in Scotland's drive to be the world leader in the development of marine renewables."
Regarding the Pelamis system, which Scottish Power wants to extend to five installations powering 2,000 homes, he added: "This will be the world's biggest commercial wave project - significantly bigger than the major Portuguese scheme. Scotland has the potential to generate a quarter of Europe's marine energy and kick-starting the sector is vital if we are to create a significant industry based in Scotland and meet our long-term renewables targets."
Friends of the Earth Scotland chief executive Duncan McLaren weighed in with: "Wave and tidal power could supply a fifth of UK's electricity needs and Scotland is ideally placed to generate significant amounts of this pollution-free energy. It is critical that we see full-scale devices in our waters soon, otherwise the world-leading expertise Scotland has built up will rapidly depart these shores."
Ocean Power Delivery has in the past warned that "the industry could be forced to quit Scotland if there were no opportunities to use the technology closer to home", which apparently did the trick. The company's Pelamis "Wave Energy Converter" is, the blurb explains, "a semi-submerged, articulated structure composed of cylindrical sections linked by hinged joints".
It continues: "The wave-induced motion of these joints is resisted by hydraulic rams, which pump high-pressure oil through hydraulic motors via smoothing accumulators. The hydraulic motors drive electrical generators to produce electricity. Power from all the joints is fed down a single umbilical cable to a junction on the sea bed. Several devices can be connected together and linked to shore through a single seabed cable." ®

French rightwing groups who mobilised against same-sex marriage have threatened further social unrest to protest against the promotion of Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, an outspoken proponent of gender equality, to the post of education minister in the new government unveiled on Tuesday.
"I'm horrified," said Ludovine de la Rochère, the leader of the Manif Pour Tous, which staged mass demonstrations as the government struggled to push through the landmark legislation adopted in May 2013. She described the appointment of Vallaud-Belkacem, who was closely associated with the law, as a "provocation" and urged opponents of the minister to join a protest on 5 October.
Vallaud-Belkacem, who was minister for women's rights, youth and sport before becoming the first woman to take charge of the education portfolio, became a hate figure for the right when she backed an experimental reform introduced into 275 primary schools last year aimed at overcoming gender stereotyping. The minister was dubbed "Khmer Rose" by the rightwing Le Figaro, and was accused of importing the controversial gender theory from the US.
Vallaud-Belkacem, 36, told FranceInfo radio that "pointless polemics" would have no place in her ministry and that she was "committed to the equality of boys and girls more than anything else."
Meanwhile the left wing of the Socialist party was equally vocal about the government's fiercely pro-market course symbolised by the appointment of a former Rothschild's banker, Emmanuel Macron, as economy minister. Three leftwing rebels, including economy minister Arnaud Montebourg, were purged from the cabinet on Tuesday by the prime minister, Manuel Valls.
Macron, a former adviser to President François Hollande and architect of the government's business-friendly policies that have been promoted since the beginning of the year, is seen as the "anti-Montebourg" and was welcomed by business leaders.
But the Socialist deputy, Yann Galut, said he was shocked by the appointment of Macron, a 36 year-old political novice. Hollande had turned down a request from Valls to include Macron in his first cabinet five months ago on the grounds he was not elected. His appointment now "is an act of submission by France to Germany," said Galut. Macron said on Wednesday: "Judge me by my actions."
Gérard Grunberg, a political scientist with Sciences Po, told the Guardian that while the new "social liberal" government had clarified its line following the departure of the dissidents, "the war between Socialists and Socialists will now move to parliament."
Valls promised on Tuesday that a confidence vote would be held in September or October.
Grunberg said the lack of new faces in the government "showed how limited the political class is in France. It's narrow."

In the Big Print songbook, it refers to tone. I'm afraid I just don't understand. Is this the beat with emphasis or? For players, singers, bass? We're not familiar with the term. Thanks.
The word "tone" has several definitions. As used in music it usually refers to the quality, or timbre, of the sound an instrument or voice produces. For example, on a stringed instrument, if you pluck a given string at a point near the bridge you get a twangy, nasal sort of sound. Pluck the same string further toward the middle of the string and you get a mellower, sweeter sound. Numerous other factors affect tone, such as how the instrument is made. It's the sound that enables you to distinguish one instrument, or one person's voice, from another. The sound of a banjo is much different from a ukulele or guitar, for example, because of its tone. Don't confuse "tone" with "intonation", which has to do with pitch or tuning accuracy. Playing or singing out of tune is a result of poor intonation.
I don't know the context in the songbook, but tone can also be a unit of measure. For instance, a D is a full tone higher than C, but an F is only half a tone above E.
Oh, yeah. I forgot about that usage. I also don't know the context in the songbook, but this is more likely to be what is meant. The difference in pitch between two adjacent frets on a fretted instrument is a half-step, or half tone, as in E to F, as you said. Thanks.
I don't know the context in the songbook, but tone can also be a unit of measure. For instance, a D is a full tone higher than C, but an F is only half a tone above E.
When you play music by ear, as humans have done for 50,000 years at least, you are listening to the difference in pitch (frequency) between various tones (discrete sounds). That is the meaning we refer to, not to differences in quality or strength of a sound.
The word "note" became more in vogue once people began to write musical scores… a 'recent' innovation by the way. The ToneWay Method attempts to help people return to the more ancient ancestral play-music-by-ear approach.
The numbers refer to the relative difference between pitches, e.g., 1=the root tone, 2= the second, 3=the third, 5=the fifth, 6= the sixth. Those 5 discrete pitches make up the pentatonic scale.
Pentatonic scales are very common and are found all over the world. Having a sense of them allows one to play in any key by ear without transposing note and such.
As a untalented guy who always wished and struggled to play music for decades, I found this approach to be intuitive, simple, and took the mystery out of music. yay! :-)

The Latest ObamaCare Victims: Small Businesses
How healthcare tax premiums will harm small businesses, the pitfalls of NSA data collection and the judges who support it and the NYT and the Benghazi blame game...was al Qaeda really involved? Plus Al-Qaeda on the rise in Iraq?
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
... I ... I ... welcome to Opinion Journal why Mary Kissel hope you all had a very Merry Christmas ... Obamacare takes effect on January first and finance a ... small businesses are going to be walloped with a great big new tax ... here with the gory details is editorial page editor Paul to go about Paul ... with a tax and some ... will say it's a tax on us ... insurance essentially health care insurance is just one of the ways they hope to finance the deal ... and functions are like an excise tax on the sale of insurance products to its allocated across ... not all insurers because are alot of were exempted under the rule that the iris row ... so if you're self insured himself a chore like a lot of the companies do a lot of union clients to your exam ... so that means more of its gonna fall on the backs of ... small businesses and others who buy through ... other markets ... that were taught about some pretty big numbers here at eight billion dollars and eighty Carillon two hundred and one billion over the next decade and won a second a mean for us well it's been an costs right it's gone now these are almost certain to be passed along ... to to consumers ... in the form of higher premiums and higher prices for the for the shirt ... so I end to the extent that that affects ... small employers small businesses ... that will add to their costs and there's by one estimate to consultant Oliver Wyman says it could hit ... five dollars per head per employee ... by the end of the decade to predict get when you think about the other ... costs tied to ... ObamaCare's can be imposing on small businesses so ... it out we'll it is hard to ... project ... how much this will affect job creation because are so much that goes into that overall picture ... but at the margin ... this adds to the burden of higher you employee which means you get fewer employees ... ay ay ay ay ay ay and the Democrats argue that it's actually the insurance companies to reflect this fell well short that's the the eternal is like the corporate tax rate and nobody who says large corporations pay corporate tax will know the literature is very clear that people pay to protect our ... employees shareholders ... and I'm consumers end and ... customers ... can someone so ... that so that's the way that this would be passed along to the interesting thing though in Congress ... you have a move afoot to repeal this and this is a bipartisan I move ... her to a twenty nine co sponsors already ... that's majority ... and so if you're probably the one who but ... if they wanna move past the house ... of course will probably die in the Senate where your ear even try to prevent bone ... unless we are entering an election year I think some of bipartisanship in the house reflects that Democrats are worth read ... about their prospects ... in the new terms that a lot of the House Democrats in particular were marginal seats ... and Senate Democrats and and and and ... purple competitive states ... want to go on record ... as Senate distancing himself somewhat from some of the worst impact of a well you think the Harry Reid could change his mind in the Senate giving this growing opposition in the house ... op I think he'll take its cues as he always seems to the White House and the White House is saying ... no ... will veto it ... one-on-one with the president in a position to have to veto ... so what he'll probably do is to ... give some of his ... competitive Senate seats ... senators a pass to vote for it ... would make sure that if it is blocked ... and will not get sixty votes okay well the rolling off of Obamacare continues editoral page editor Paul to go thanks thanks very much ... turn out to the NSA in these last days a federal judge ruled ... that the agencies that Mehta data ... collection program ... is constitutional ... I've got editorial page editor Paul GBO staying with me now at all ... so we got with a federal judge says it's illegal become another federal judge says it's it's it's legal which is this for my sins I've read both of those you get ... them both of those opinions ... I think that the poly opinion is more impressive ... as a careful ... the excavation of law has twice as a solution ... that's the one that's right that the association issued on Friday to ... begin necessary corrective to Judge Leon's ... I did Richard Leon's ... decision earlier in December which is a lot of ... florid language almost Orwellian things like that which ... we have a legal basis they make for good headlines but they're not that they're not really ... based in law ... what Polly foundries poly life on a Friday is that in fact ... the president to Smith vs Maryland ... that is controlled in these kinds of searches ... are still relevant ... not irrelevant ... and that therefore it is not unconstitutional ... a quote from judge Pauley he I he he also wrote ... a decent one tool only works because it collects everything ... without all the data points that government cannot be certain it is connected the pertinent ... ones no words ...

When Microsoft acquired Nokia's mobile division, it also acquired Nokia's new Android devices like the Nokia X and the Nokia XL, although as Microsoft's main focus is on Windows Phone, we expected these to be the last Android devices from the now Microsoft owned Nokia mobile division.
Now according to a recent report, this is not the case, and the new Microsoft Devices division will continue to develop Android smartphones alongside their Windows Phone devices.
The news come from a report by the BGR, who have learned that Microsoft is currently working on a new range of Android devices, and these handsets will replace the Nokia XL and Nokia XL.
It is not clear as yet on why Microsoft has decided to continue to develop Android devices alongside its Windows Phone devices, as the company's main focus is to get people to adopt Windows Phone.
As soon as we get some more information on these new Microsoft Android smartphones, we will let you guys know.

First edition
"Community and Local Development:
defining a strategy of growth for localities"
26 July - 5 August 2010, Trento, Italy
The OECD LEED Trento Centre
The Training Centre for International Cooperation
in collaboration with
EAFIT University of Medellin, the Trentino Federation of Cooperatives and EURICSE
Background / Themes / Details / Materials / Contacts
The OECD LEED Trento Centre for local development , the Training Centre for International Cooperation (TCIC) and the EAFIT University of Medellin have recently set up a joint "International Summer School for cooperation and local development", in coopration with the Trentino Federation of Cooperatives and EURICSE.
The scope of the School is to organise specialised courses on socio-economic development and to create an international platform to exchange experiences and knowledge between public officers and practitioners from OECD member and non member countries that deals with cooperation and local development issues.
The first edition of the Summer School on "Community and local development: defining a strategy of growth for localities" took place from 26 July to 5 August 2010 in Trento, in collaboration with EAFIT University of Medellin, the Trentino Federation of Cooperatives and EURICSE.
The overall objective of the course was to foster participants' capacities to implement effective local development strategies and community based development projects. Participants were encouraged to work together with international and local experts to establish a common language and a common platform that allowed a better exchange of experiences and knowledge.
The course focused on four main areas of work:
Economic development: as result of SMEs and entrepreneurship growth, capacity to interact with universities (development of social and entrepreneurial skills) and new opportunities to innovate (technological, product, organisational, cultural innovation, etc.).
Social development: community relations innovation, development of social enterprises and social economy, community capacity building.
Sustainable relation between territorial communities and ecosystems: ability to manage resources in a sustainable manner and value them in economic and social terms (the social and economic value of a "quality landscape"), capacity to minimise the generation of negative externalities.
Appropriate governance choices: not only as the definition of the institutional framework, but also in terms of transversal capacity to give answers to challenges and opportunities through the involvement of the wider range of actors and stakeholders.
The main "drivers" for local development were also analysed and discussed. In particular:
Cognitive capital. Ability to innovate, attract knowledge and competences in territories, development of high quality human resources.
Social capital. Equity and ability to reduce poverty, life quality standards, sharing of collective values (civicness) and multicultural integration capacity.
Eco-systemic capital. Territorial security and sustainability of resource management, biodiversity and ecosystem continuity, landscape integrity and prosperity.
Infrastructure capital. High levels of physical and non-physical accessibility; healthy land settlement systems and reduced energetic and resources consumption, liveability and openness of urban spaces.
Case studies prepared by the participants and practical examples from selected localities across the OECD were used as basis for analysis and discussion.
The course were attended by about forty selected local development officers and practitioners coming from Colombia that worked together with OECD,TCIC and international experts to foster their capacities to implement community based development strategies and projects, through a peer-to-peer learning process that addressed participants' needs and expectations using a wide range of tools, such as theoretical classes, group work, study visits and dedicated meetings with socio-economic and governmental actors, partnership and networking facilitation.
80 hours.
From 26 July to 5 August for a total of 10 days.
The school was structured around a mix of presentations and lectures by OECD, TCIC staff, international and local experts, followed by discussion, group work around case studies developed by participants prior to the seminar and field study visits.
Working language
Spanish (interpretation from English and Italian was occasionally provided).
Participation fee
No participation fees were required.
Training Centre for International Cooperation / OECD LEED Trento Centre for Local Development, Vicolo San Marco 1, 38100 Trento, Italy.

Skip to 0 minutes and 8 seconds The customer persona is a representation of customer behaviours. You want to understand where your customers are the same versus different. Most businesses use customer personas to bring to life the different customer types that they have. You want to be able to understand where your customers have the same or different behaviours. Usually, businesses will have somewhere between three and six personas, bringing to life where they have different attributes. So for example, you may have a persona that represents your customer that wants to buy your product right now to get it off their checklist. Or you may have a persona that brings to life your research customer, the one that needs to deeply understand your product and service before they can buy.
Skip to 0 minutes and 55 seconds Those two have very different needs, and you need to be aware of both of their needs and not just design your website and your offerings to one.
Demystifying Personas
If you research personas on the internet, you'll find a lot written, particularly from the perspective of a user experience (UX) for website and software interaction.
This is because personas were initially developed by a software development consultant, Alan Cooper. In 1998 he introduced the concept of a persona as a practical interaction design tool for software development.
However, since the introduction of personas to the web and software development community, over the past decade personas have moved from being largely the focus of website and software development to having wider application as a marketing tool.
So what is a persona?
In simple terms, a persona is a visual representation of your typical customer or consumer. You create the persona around a fictional character who is typical of the person you will be targeting in the marketing efforts of your business.
The persona is essentially a story about them - who they are, what they like, what they think about the category and your products, how frequently they shop the category, and what goals they are trying meet, or problems they are trying to solve when purchasing your products or services.
Personas recognise that customers can sometimes have the same or different behaviours as each other. It is important when developing personas not to try and stereotype your typical customer. You don't want the personas to oversimplify the demographics of your customers or consumers.

10 of the Extreme Body Modifications
24 Jul 2015[easy-social-share buttons="facebook,twitter,google,pinterest,tumblr,linkedin" counters=0]
Body Modification is the word with weirdest term, with scary implications for those who have no personal interest in the subject. In the simplest terms, "Body Modification" means to intentionally alter one's physical appearance. It is assumed that it applies only to piercing and tattooing. But the term has much huge implication then just tattooing and piercing. At present almost all of us are involved in some kind of body modification. Here, we have compiled 10 of the most extreme body modifications.
- Lip Tunnel
Lip tunnel is a form of Body Modification in which increasingly large wooden disc plates are inserted in the lower or upper lip. The wooden disc is inserted with a pierced hole. This custom dates back to thousands of years, and is still practiced by tribes in Africa and Amazonia. It is generally performed on girls when they reach the age of 15-16 years. It is uncertain how this bizarre custom came into being as the lip plate deforms the face of the women and leaves her unattractive.

There's a new restaurant right across the street from the NCAN office called Eatsa. They serve quinoa bowls – very healthy. And it's very "high tech" looking from the outside – lots of lights and white and clean lines. But what's the one thing you don't see when you walk by? Employees. Customers place their order on a tablet, and then pick it up, Automat-style, from a cubby. Chefs are preparing orders behind the wall of cubbies, but the need for front-line workers and cashiers has been eliminated.
Eatsa is one of several businesses highlighted in a recent report published by the National League of Cities (NLC) called The Future of Work in Cities. The report explores how advancements in technology and the changing workforce/employer relationship are impacting the future of the workplace. It also recommends ways city leaders can react to these shifts. Although the report focuses on the impact of these changes on cities, the whole nation will be affected.
The report describes how automation is impacting business: dramatically increasing overall productivity, increasing wages in some jobs, and completely eliminating others. The impact of automation can be seen in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and agriculture and has recently been a topic of conversation among elected officials. Anthony Carnevale, Director of the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce, has written several articles on the shift from a workforce where employees could get a good job at a good wage with little more than a high school diploma, to one where a credential, certificate or associate degree will be required to fill the many "middle skills" jobs that will become more and more prevalent.
The Future of Work in Cities offers recommendations for how local leaders can ensure that communities and their residents are prepared to take advantage of these shifts rather than be overwhelmed by them, including rethinking education and workforce training programs to meet employer needs and creating policies that build pathways between postsecondary education institutions and business.
"Investment in improving and increasing access to early childhood, K-12, and postsecondary educational opportunities will position cities to not only benefit from automation and other technology changes, but also ensure that the local workforce has the skills to contribute to and share in the gains," the report says.
The implication for NCAN members is in how we advise students about postsecondary and career options, given the upcoming workforce and labor needs resulting from these shifts. Some states have established postsecondary attainment goals to help ensure their students are prepared for the workplace of the future. Florida's Higher Education Coordinating Council, for example, just adopted the goal that 55 percent of Floridians ages 25 to 64 to hold a degree or postsecondary certificate by the year 2025.
It will be critical that NCAN members are in the loop on future workforce needs and help their students make decisions about pursuing postsecondary credentials that are aligned with these needs. NCAN has recently embarked on a project with USA Funds to help member programs use data to track workforce trends, partner with organizations already involved with this work, and integrate career readiness programming into their own operations so they can ensure their students are prepared for the workforce, city, and community of the future. We encourage you to be on the lookout for these resources, as well as for an announcement about NCAN's Spring Trainings, which will focus on Connecting College and Career Success in 2017.

Mumbai crime: Malad shooter's modus operandi similar to gangster Ravi Pujari
Developer gets letter that asks for Rs 10 lakh; is signed by local goon who is in jail for murder
On Friday night, an autorickshaw driver was caught in a firing incident when he was shot at by an unidentified man in Shivaji Nagar area near Ramesh Hotel in Malad East, leaving him battling for his life. The accused was shooting at developer Turkeshwar Singh, who owns a construction site nearby.
Also read: Mumbai shooting - Builder's employee shot at in Malad
The accused then dropped a letter, which the police say made a demand for Rs 10 lakh. The incident has now taken a more sinister turn. The Kurar Police discovered that the shooter used a modus operandi that was once the signature extortion method of gangster Ravi Poojari.
According to sources, another interesting fact in the case is that this letter mentions that it was written by Uday Pathak, a local goon from the area, who is already in jail on charge of murdering four people in 2011.
Allegedly, Pathak is trying to create a feeling of fear among builders in the neighbourhood after taking note of the many SRA projects being developed in the area.
The injured auto driver was admitted to Shatabdi Hospital and is now out of danger. The accused is still unidentified and the police are looking at CCTV camera footage from the vicinity to identify him.

Massa loses cool over Hamilton
FERRARI'S Felipe Massa's rub with Lewis Hamilton going into the chicane on the 21st lap of Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix was their fourth collision of the season, and the Brazilian is angry.
Ferrari reported negligible damage to Massa's car after Hamilton claimed he was in his blind spot and had "no idea he was there", when the incident occurred. The race stewards concluded it was simply a racing incident but Massa raged: "I don't care, to be honest, about what he said. The only thing I care about is what he did. I was much quicker, stayed on my line and he moved across and touched my car. The FIA need to take care of it. They have penalised people for much less and this time they didn't do it."

Small PHP/OwnCloud issue during Fedora 20 to 21 upgrade
by tgutwin
Posted on Monday Jan 25, 2016 at 06:30PM in Technology
After succesfully upgrading F20 to F21 using Fedup (on my server); my Owncloud CRON install was not working.
Cron entry looks like:
*/10 * * * * apache php -f /var/www/html/owncloud/cron.php
So I tried it on the commandline and an error told me that the new
upgraded version of PHP had a change in the default setting (in
/etc/php.ini) for always_populate_raw_post_data. It told me to set it to:
always_populate_raw_post_data = -1
The cron now runs without error.
