Welcome to the second part of our series on using the UITableView class! In this tutorial, we will cover how to add details to a UITableViewCell class, more UITableViewDelegate methods, and lazy loading of table view rows. We will also customize the appearance of the table view using cell.textLabel.text, cell.imageView.image, cell.accessoryType, cell.detailTextLabel.text, and custom section header/footer text. These enhancements will make our UITableView class more aesthetically appealing while still sticking to the iPhone Human Interface Guidelines required by Apple.
Table Cell Display Properties:
- cell.textLabel.text: This property controls the main text label displayed in each table cell.
- cell.imageView.image: This property will set a custom UIImage to the left of the textLabel.
- cell.accessoryType: This property will set a default disclosure icon, such as a checkmark or blue arrow, to the right of the textLabel.
- cell.detailTextLabel.text This property will set a second row of slightly smaller text underneath the textLabel.

Dan Wheldon when he was riding his wave of popularity at the beginning of the 2006 season (photo of 2006 Indy Downforce fan club promo, with signature – similar to the 2003 trade show handout). The previous year he had won the Indy 5oo and the 2005 IndyCar Series Championship over Tony Kanaan, Sam Hornish, Jr., Dario Franchitti, and Scott Sharp. Image Credit: Edmund Jenks (2011)
Dan Wheldon … Championship Winning Driver, 2-Time Indy 500 Winner, Motorsports Color Commentator, Ambassador to American Open Wheel Racing
There was a time, not long ago, that Dan Wheldon was just like any other aspiring driver with some talent, lucky to be associated with a young, but experienced racing team, stood in an exhibition hall, next to a nicely painted Jim Beam logoed car, to sign autographs on images of himself standing next to a race car printed on light cardboard. This image of Dan Wheldon happened at a trade show in Las Vegas a few years back (2003) before he became the championship winning driver, 2-time Indy 500 winner, motorsports color commentator, and ambassador to American open wheel racing Dan Weldon people have become familiar with over the last half decade or so.
Dan was working a promotional appearance at the Las Vegas Convention Center highlighting the fact that he had just became a member of the Andretti Green Racing organization (replacing Michael Andretti as a driver) in the Indianapolis Racing League (now named IndyCar Series) and there he stood next to his Jim Beam Special Dallara happy to meet and greet people as he shook hands and handed out signed promotional printed images of himself in a similar pose. Being a race car driver isn't all "rockstar" glory … it requires a lot of hard work.
This year has seen a growth in the stature of the gentle, and unassuming British character (the public, promotional persona), who has not only won the 2011 Greatest Spectacle in Racing, but has taken to working races behind the microphone.
Last weekend, the IndyCar Series (ICS) visited the cornfields of Iowa to run the 9th race in a 18 race season. The Iowa Corn 250 is run on a very tight, banked turn, .875-mile oval that, at race speed, takes only about 19 seconds to lap, and through this very fast lap action, Dan Wheldon proved himself as capable an announcer as he is an accomplished driver.
To those who watched the broadcast, carried by VERSUS cable channel for a unique Saturday night-time presentation, Dan Wheldon embraced the fast paced, event-filled three hours as if he'd been doing this microphone stuff for years. The broadcast pre-race featured a Formula 1 style pit lane interview walk with famed auto-writer Robin Miller and Dan, each taking a row of the two-row staging of the cars along pit lane. On the broadcast, first Robin, and then Dan (back and forth) would walk up to drivers, car owners, and engineers and create a quick one or two question interview that proved to be extremely entertaining. It's always fun to be able to catch a Ganassi or Penske off guard, especially since they rarely ever are, but this was the feel and pace of the segment – fairly smooth and spontaneous. Dan was really in the commentator zone when he was interviewing Dario Franchitti, when he said "This is my job" … Dario graciously retorted "Oh no its not. Ahhh, you know where your job is … [on the track]!" It makes one ask, just who was caught off-guard now?
During the race, however, is where Dan Wheldon really shined. Even though the cars were going around the oval at under 19 seconds a lap, Dan had the uncanny knack of having the broadcast presence of almost slowing down the action at moments so that the viewer felt as though they were in the cockpit and had the control of the car while it circled the track. The action did not slow down on the screen, Dan did not talk slowly, but the explanation and engagement with the viewing audience in Dan's style, translated itself to a kinda' audio slower (not slow) motion.
Forces have a funny way of working their way into situations. The fact that Dan Wheldon isn't driving for another ICS season championship in 2011 is a tragedy and all American open wheel racing fans see this. Until this situation is rectified, the same American open wheel racing fans may at least be able to have more color commentary from Dan Wheldon in future ICS races this season.

Wellington Colts 67, BARFC Colts 5 (10/01/15)
This result is the heaviest defeat for Bridgy's colts for some. The main factors being some very poor tackling from Bridgwater in defence and (credit to Wellington) the sheer mobility and physical fitness of all their players, of which they appear to have almost two full squads again!
In truth, going forward, Bridgwater exercise good support and control at the breakdown, and their set piece and have repeatedly shown their ability to compete in these areas of the game, even though in this match they played without a regular hooker! It is their collective defence that is letting them down.
Next Saturday (17th Jan) Bridgy play at home to Weston and it is to be hoped that the defensive training to be done during the week will at least go some way to improving this area. KO is 2.15 pm

Some news to share: Amit is moving on from SlideShare. This means all SlideShare founders have left now (Rashmi and I left several months ago). Rumor has it he's going to be doing something high-impact and really exciting …stay tuned for more details. ;->
It's a bittersweet moment for founders to leave, much like watching your child go off to college. Building organizations and parenting are pretty similar: the goal is to make something that will outlast you, something that will stand on it's own two feet and go into the world. Baby SlideShare is all grown up!
SlideShare continues to grow, and in the last few months many of the features that we had worked on for a long time finally became available. Providing analytics free to all users delivers a ton of value that should help every SlideShare user understand where their traffic comes from. Slide authoring (powered by HaikuDeck) takes SlideShare into the realm of presentation CREATION in a very elegant way. And shipping an IOS app to compliment the Android app completes the transition of SlideShare into the mobile era. LinkedIn is continuing to invest in the product, and the results are showing. LinkedIn is also continuing to invest in the team, centralizing development in San Francisco (until now it has been split between San Francisco and New Delhi).
The continued traction that SlideShare is showing (it's now poised to break into the ranks of the top 100 websites worldwide) is also a real joy to watch. Who knew that a bunch of PowerPoint presentations would be such a global cultural phenomenon?
I've worked on SlideShare from 2006 to 2014, a solid 8 years. It's been a fun ride, and I made a lot of great friends, got a few grey hairs, and had a lot of crazy experiences.
Much love to the team and the awesome SlideShare community. As Jeff @ LinkedIN likes to say, Next Play! Rashmi and I are taking it easy but are also having fun experimenting with some new ideas, as well as doing a bit of angel investing. I'm going to try to blog a bit more too, let's see how that goes. 🙂

CES 2006: With the arrival of the first week of January, it is once again time for the annual Consumer Electronics Show, better known in the industry as "CES". While the actual show doesn't officially open until Thursday (it runs from Thursday through Sunday at the Convention Center, Hilton, Alexis Park and Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas), members of the media are encouraged to arrive two days early to participate in a host of pre-show events.
The first of these events was held earlier today at the Venetian Hotel which is located adjacent to the Sands Convention Center. Titled "CES Unveiled" it offers a glimpse of what 80 some vendors plan to show to the industry later this week. Each vendor has a table to show their items during an evening event that includes food and entertainment.
Verizon Presents Dana Carvey
This year's CES Unveiled event was notable by the addition of a monologue by comedian Dana Carvey that was sponsored by Verizon. Verizon is at CES this year touting their new "FIOS" fiber to the neighborhood service that offers Cable TV, Internet and Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) to consumers in competition with traditional Cable company offerings.
While there was interest among media members at the Verizon FIOS table, I must say that it seemed the several hundred reporters at tonight's event appeared more interested in talking to the 80 vendors at CES Unveiled than listening to Carvey's comedy act. Oh well, perhaps they'll try music or something else to different to open the event next year.
I will say that the vendors present did offer an interesting array of consumer electronics items. The products shown included new chip sets from DS2 and Pulse-Link to improve the speeds of wireless and powerline data networking in one's home to 200Mbps (DS2) to 400 to 600 Mbps (Pulse-Link), a wide range of cell phones – including several that promise to play music and even video and TV signals, products by a company named M-Fuel that will bring 12 hour extended battery life to a laptop and a number of other computer related products.
Audistry by Dolby
Turning to the world of audio, a new start-up named Audistry by Dolby was in attendance and is launching their first products at the show. Audistry is a spin-off of Australia-based Lake Technologies, the folks behind the DSP sound technologies that brought Dolby Headphone and Dolby Virtual Speaker into the market.
According to Audistry's David McGrath, the firm will deliver DSP based "personal sound technology" audio enhancement tool kits, chip sets (via partners including Analog Devices, Freescale Semiconductor, Micronas, NJRC, Sanyo Semiconductor and Texas Instruments) and technologies to manufacturers of so called "mid-fi" market products. McGrath says that today these products, like TVs with low end built-in speakers often have some relatively basic audio enhancement processing that converts stereo to wider sounding stereo. He thinks Audistry can bring much better sounding enhancements of this type to the consumer through Lake's technology applied on products at this level. That appears to be a very likely scenario to me given the experience that Lake and Dolby can bring to the table.
Some of the features that Audistry plans to bring to this market include Sound Space Expander ("a stereo widening system that expands the perceived sound field without making it sound unnatural or artifical"), Sound Space for Headphones ("takes sound 'out of the head' in a natural way, making it sound as though the sound was produced from real speakers positioned three-dimensionally in front of the listener"), Natural Bass ("enhances the natural characteristics and performance, making it possible for speakers to produce a deeper, richer bass response"), Intelligent Volume Control ("a peak limiter and expander, making it possible for listeners to comfortably enjoy a large dynamic range without needing to make regular volume adjustments") and Mono to Stereo Creator ("automatically translates original mono content to a strong stereo signal").
Later in the week, Audistry plans to provide members of the media with some previews of what they have in store later this year in this area. This will include one of Sharp's upcoming products with 2.1 audio sound featuring the Audistry chip set and DSP technologies.
Avega's Oyster Wi-Fi Wireless Speaker System
Another interesting audio product at CES Unveiled was from Avega Systems. Avega is an Australian based company that is working on a 4 way speaker system called the "Oyster" that would be sold to speaker companies through an OEM arrangement. The speakers are said to play back audio from laptop and desktop computers as well as CD and DVD players over a WiFi wireless network. While that doesn't sound very high end in concept, the company's principals say that their work will bring to market a speaker system that delivers both wireless connections and good sound.
They also say that while the first generation speakers are limited to CD and DVD support, along with Dolby Digital and DTS encoded DVD Video tracks, they are exploring how support for Super Audio CD and DVD-A discs could be added. We'll keep an eye out to see if their technology makes it to market in the months ahead.
Audio Developments Later This Week
The good news from Las Vegas is that several companies are planning interesting announcements of Super Audio CD and DVD-A players and discs later this week at the show. I'll have more on that in the days ahead.

Following closely behind Men of War: Assault Squad but hiding in trees and tunnels so it can't be seen properly is Men of War: Vietnam.
1C Company's RTS series has been WWII-based up to this point, so Vietnam will be quite a change of scenery. Although the setting is less of a departure for videogaming than it used to be (with Call of Duty: Black Ops also planning a visit to South East Asia) Men of War: Vietnam promises something unusual – a chance to play as the Viet Cong.
RockPaperShotgun's Alec Meer had a chance to play the game and confirms that it "includes a fully VC campaign." We'll take his word for that because WE WEREN'T THERE, MAN. Ahem.
By the early sounds of things, cover will be crucial in keeping your little chaps alive for longer than five seconds. As the screens (below) show, there will also be obligatory 'nam choppers and boats. We hope to see considerable amounts of moral ambiguity too.
Men of War: Vietnam should be coming out of the trees later this year, on PC.

Year of successes for Spire Gatwick Park's weight loss team
PUBLISHED: 14:37 17 June 2015 | UPDATED: 14:37 17 June 2015
A lighter, brighter group of patients from across the south east joined staff at Spire Gatwick Park Hospital to celebrate the first anniversary of its Weight Loss Clinic.
In the past 12 months, consultant bariatric surgeon Simon Monkhouse and his specialist team at the Horley-based private hospital have helped 58 people lose a total of 127st and 4 lbs.
"It was amazing to see such a happier group of people turn up to celebrate our first year anniversary," says Mr Monkhouse, "And more important than the total weight loss are the personal victories that these people have achieved since surgery. It was good to see them sharing their stories about how they have taken up activities, renewed their interest in hobbies, and have even reduced or reversed medical conditions such as diabetes."
Among the patients who attended the celebration was science teacher Rosie, of Croydon. Before she came to Spire Gatwick Park, she had low self-esteem and was very unhappy after 20 years of yo-yo dieting. She reached a size 22-24, weighed 18 stone, and had concerns about her health before deciding to seek help.
Now, since her gastric bypass in October, the confident 58-year-old weighs 11st 10 lbs and says she is more active than ever, and looking forward to the future.
"I feel I am at the start of a new adventure," she says. "I tried every single diet under the sun and always ended up putting the weight back on, and more. I would absolutely recommend weight loss surgery to anyone who has been in the same situation as me."
Another patient at the party was 40-year-old Anna of Reigate who had a gastric band fitted in January and has already lost two stone. "I feel so much happier and I can even get into a pair of jeans I last wore five years ago. I have several suitcases of clothes I am looking forward to wearing again as I continue to lose weight."
Pub landlord David Stanley, of the Plough in St John's Redhill, spent the evening sharing his amazing story with fellow partygoers. He has lost seven stone since his sleeve gastrectomy operation in January and his diabetes is on the reverse. He has returned to his favourite hobby of gardening, is walking and swimming again, and can now run around with his young grandchildren.
"I have so much more energy that I just want to tell everybody about it," he says. "Weight loss surgery is not a magic fix and you have to be very careful what and how much you eat for the rest of your life afterwards, but that is easily outweighed by how good you feel and look."
Spire Gatwick Park Hospital's weight loss surgery team assess patients to see if they can proceed with surgery and then supports them for two years afterwards, both emotionally and with practical advice. Patients also become lifelong members of the weight loss support group which meets regularly.
"Patients have to work very hard themselves, both before and after surgery, but they are supported with psychotherapy, dietary advice and the hands-on care of our bariatric nurses," adds Mr Monkhouse. "We are not going to make a dent in the obesity levels of the nation, but we will make a massive difference to individuals. Weight loss surgery will change their lives forever, and it can put diabetes into remission for good."

If you are a gambling addict and a Thai, life must be hard for you. Thailand has some of the strictest laws when it comes to Gambling. Only a couple of legal forms of gambling are available in the country and they too are high government controlled.
However, that doesn't mean that there is no gambling in Thailand. Gambling is a flourishing industry in Thailand as Thai's love to gamble. Since real life casinos have been under constant threat, the online industry grew. The online gambling industry of Thailand provides everything that the brick and mortar have been barred from. Check out the Top 10 online casino Thailand for more information.
The Law
the main law on gambling is the Gambling Act, B.E. 2478 (1935). Separate laws such as Playing Cards Act, B.E. 2486 (1943) and Anti-Money Laundering Act, B.E. 2542 (1999) are also present.
Going into dreadful details of these laws is not important because in general, it all amounts to mean one simple thing. If you are caught in any form of gambling you can face penalties. The fine starts from 1000 baht up to one-year imprisonment.
While the laws may seem strict, gamblers are often released after a fine. The strict part of these laws usually deal with foreigners and gamble den owners.
Gambling dominance
The Thai People are natural gamblers. Some estimate that nearly 70% of Thai gamble in some form or the other. Gambling dens, mostly illegal, can be found all over the country. Basement casinos, home casinos and booking with bookies are all too common in the country.
Casinos Nearby
There are many border nations with popular and big casinos attaching themselves to Thailand. Many of these don't even require stamping or entry/exit procedures. So in order to satisfy their casino and gambling crave, Thai people head to these destinations for gambling. Good examples of these would be Cambodia's Crown Casino and Laos' Savan Vegas.
To learn more about online casinos in Thailand, search for Top 10 online casino Thailand and you will learn all about Thailand's online casino world.
Legal Gambling
As for legal gambling, there are only two forms of legal gambling in Thailand. Horse racing gambling is not that common and is usually frequented by the high-end society. It is held twice a month and open to the general public. Much more popular than this form of gambling in Thailand is the national lottery drawn on the first and sixteen each month. A huge population of Thailand participates in this lottery every month.

The telecommunications and IT industries have gotten several rude awakenings from mother nature in the form of hurricanes during the past decade. The two highest-profile storms, of course, were hurricanes Katrina and Sandy. Each year, plenty of lower-profile storms cause significant damage, as well.
The small bit of good news is that there is a growing understanding of how businesses can minimize a hurricane's disruption and expense. The ideas here are a mix of general approaches and specific suggestions. Many of them may not have appeared on IT's list of responsibilities to date; if that is the case, and IT will not be able to take care of them all, at the very least make sure they are addressed by facilities or another department.

Innovative Kitchenware Manufacturer Faresco approached Fripp Design and Research to develop a new pan and lid handle for their designer range of pansContact UsView Case Studies
Faresco are a manufacturer of quality kitchenware who understand that their customers value design and 'user appeal' as much as the quality of build and manufacture. The company approached Fripp Design and Research to develop a new handle and lid with a brief to build on their Pro-Ware brand by fusing style, functionality and longevity in the designs.
What we did:
Conceived over 50 initial design concepts for the client to review
Used concept development to explore the many possible options before funnelling the propositions down to one clear idea
Created 3D CAD models to communicate the design details to the client
Created visual renders to enable the client to see what the design would look like before moving to prototype
Created an in-house prototype of the handle to test the design ergonomics
Created technical drawings that clearly communicated the design to the manufacturer
Faresco were so impressed with the quality of the work, they have commissioned Fripp Design and Research to develop other products in the Pro-Ware range.
The Pro-Ware pan range has been a huge success and is currently on sale.

New Facebook for iPhone Teaser Shows Why Touchscreens Kick Butt
As an iPhone owner, this pleases me. But more basically, as a owner of a touchscreen-enhanced device, this pleases me especially so. Truly custom tagging of photos, just as one would through an typical Web browser, is yet one more of those small, relatively insignificant options that prove just how useful something of the iPhone's design can be.
There's really no question that the iPhone is the software benchmark in the mobile market. The platform itself has something to do with Facebook's ability to built this next iteration of the iPhone software. But the fact that the application's engineers have design the upcoming edition this way - it's safe to assume, as does Nick O'Neill of All Facebook, that this clues us in on what's next to arrive in the App Store - shows just what one can do given the freedom of that pocket-sized canvas. There are occasionally rumblings about the lack of complete openness for third-party software development. Which is true. There isn't. But if something such as this manages to pique the interest of the desired audience, well, objective achieved, no? If you can't have everything, is a lot enough? Maybe so.
As numerous Android Challenge finalists and winners have similarly shown, a touchscreen is very much the necessary means to achieve all possible ends. There's no getting around it. Yes, you can create outstanding mobile software which functions exclusively via a keypad. But media-rich applications which require user interaction to the detail shown in the video posted are clearly done best in a world of touch. You get less hassle on the user side, and there's a good bit of comfort on the developer end as well.
Furthermore, seeing as how Android users and developers get the benefit of "open," it may not be too much to think of touchscreen devices as the kill-switch for the buttoned, non-touch, plebeian masses. For the time being, the iPhone remains the stellar dream machine, giving software makers the ability to bring the unmatched intuitiveness of the hardware into the employ of their applications and services.

Zenith Bank Robbery: Wife Of Slain Policeman Receives Donation From Abroad
Imo State Police commissioner, Chris Okey Ezike has derived insinuations in the social media that the families of the slain policemen who died at the armed robbery attack at Zenith Bank Wetheral Road have been abandoned saying the Nigeria Police still look at the slain officers as herves of the force.
In a press briefing at the Imo State Police headquarters in Owerri, CP Ezike said all the entitlements of the slain police officers of the February 22, 2017 robbery attack will be paid, saying many organizations and well meaning Nigerians have identified with the police force and families of the affected slain officers.
The police Boss recalled that, the incident went viral and gained public attention early June immediately the 2.58 minutes Closed Circuit Television Camera (CCTV) footage video which captured the moments of the robbery, was released to the public. However, he averred that, a total of three police officers were involved, while Sergeant Sunday Agbo and Sergeant Chukwudi Iboko died a day after following gunshots injuries they sustained during the attack, but another officer, Sergeant Muran Otu Attang, lost one of his eyes and equally sustained gunshots injuries but alive.
The Imo State CP, Ezike, described the slain cops as heroes who would never be forgotten. According to him, the Inspector General of Police have taken a keen interest on the case which went viral, saying the IGP have instructed that all the entitlement of the slain officers must be paid and the officer who sustained bullet injuries be given adequate medical attention.
He recalled Nigeria Police Force is a Federal government agency governed by laws, rules and regulations in all matters, including financial matters, stating that the rights, entitlements, benefits and even privileges of these our own officers shall be fully paid, and on time. The two deceased officers were recommended for posthumous promotion, while the survivor officer greatly injured was also recommended for a promotion to the next rank.
He confirmed to media houses present that the Zenith Bank has pledged to bankroll the education of the slain officers children at every level, including giving monthly allowance to the families. He emphasized that the bank took care of the burial expenses of the victims. Also the bank pledged to take responsibility and the bill for full medical treatment of the survivor officer, Sergeant Muran Otu Attang who will be going for skull surgery.
He used the occasion to thank the coming to the aid of the force and family of late Sergeant Iboko by a Nigerian leaving abroad, Mr. John Ekweanuo, the founder and president of Sparvi Charity foundation worldwide who sent the sum of five hundred thousand naira (N500, 000.00) through a blogger, Mr IfeanyiCy Njoku to be handed over to the late officers wife, Mrs Rose Iboko. According to Mr John popularly known as SKJ, the founder of Sparvi Charity foundation, he said that he was touched after watching the bravery displayed by the late Police officer, and decided to support his family by making the sum available.
Meanwhile, CP Ezike confirmed the arrest of three of the armed robbers, Justice Ogbonna alia J. J, Abiye Charles and Okechukwu Nwaebo alias Modestus while another member is still at large. He thanked good spirited individuals, Organisations and Nigerians who have shown understanding in the issue and their support.

Rebels don't have big causes like the rebels of the past — but each generation finds something to get heated about
Sir, "Today's rebels have been left without a cause", says Hugo Rifkind (Opinion, Apr 1). This was echoed not only by Marlon Brando in The Wild One (1953) but Jimmy Porter in John Osborne's Look Back in Anger (1956), when he observed: "People of our generation aren't able to die for good causes any longer. We had all that done for us, in the Thirties and Forties . . . There aren't any good brave causes left."
However, it does seem that each new generation finds itself a cause — even if it's only climate change.

Visible and Near Infra-red Up-conversion in Tm3+/Yb3+ Co-doped Silica Fibres Under 980 nm Excitation
Simpson, David Allan, Gibbs, Keith, Collins, Stephen F, Blanc, Wilfried, Dussardier, Bernard, Monnom, Gerard and Baxter, Gregory W (2008) Visible and Near Infra-red Up-conversion in Tm3+/Yb3+ Co-doped Silica Fibres Under 980 nm Excitation. Optics Express, 16 (18). pp. 13781-13799.Full text for this resource is not available from the Research Repository.
The spectroscopic properties of Tm3+/Yb3+ co-doped silica fibers under excitation at 980 nm are reported. Three distinct up-conversion fluorescence bands were observed in the visible to near infra-red regions. The blue and red fluorescence bands at 475 and 650 nm, respectively, were found to originate from the 1G4 level of Tm3+. A three step up-conversion process was established as the populating mechanism for these fluorescence bands. The fluorescence band at 800 nm was found to originate from two possible transitions in Tm3+; one being the transition from the 3H4 to 3H6 manifold which was found to dominate at low pump powers; the other being the transition from the 1G4 to 3H6 level which dominates at higher pump powers. The fluorescence lifetime of the 3H4 and 3F4 levels of Tm3+ and 2F5/2 level of Yb3+ were studied as a function of Yb3+ concentration, with no significant energy back transfer from Tm3+ to Yb3+ observed.

Procrastination involves one individual but African time involves the society.
I was invited for a wedding scheduled for 9am and proposed to end 11am before proceeding for the reception which was scheduled for 12noon. According to the order of events, we were expecting to shut-down by 3pm. I was at the wedding by 8:50am and the hall was extremely scanty. The bride procession did not start till 10:30am (30minutes to the "supposed closing time") because they were waiting for the hall to get full before starting. The reception started by 2:45 and the wedding ended around 6 o'clock. Attendees kept murmuring
"I knew they would not start by 9."
"Thank God we came by 10, we were even early, if we came by 9 we'd have just sat down waiting till God knows when."
"I told you nobody will come by 9"
All sorts of accusations and comments kept flying around. Funnily, 80% of the population was busy waiting for the other set of people to converge before coming and in the end no one came on time. This same attitude has been directed towards seminars, trainings, meetings and events generally. We labeled it African Time.
African time is a colloquial term used to describe a perceived cultural tendency. It is a relaxed attitude towards time. It is worse than procrastination because procrastination involves just an individual but African time involves the society. It has become a culture, a way of life. It is used in negative sense about tardiness in appointment, meetings and events.
It is a disguised form of procrastination because events are supposed to commence at a particular time but they are deferred to a later time because the invitees and participants have decided to come late.
Most Africans do not have value for time, they do things at their own time and this is what has contributed to the stagnation of this blessed continent, Africa. An event with almost a thousand people invited is due to commence at 10a.m., 900 people will remain where they are and say 'people will not be there yet, they will start by 11:30'. What is the possibility of starting without your presence if 900 people are busy bending time and doing nothing? The host will be disappointed and have no choice than to start the ceremony later than the time planned and those that even came early will look down on the host and start practicing the African time mentality because you forced them to. The most annoying part of the whole situation is that when you ask the guest their reason for coming late, no sensible answer is given they just smile, shrug and say 'African time'. If everyone decides to keep to African time who will be present at any event on time? It is a very bad trend that is slowing down the development of Africa.
When you do things late, you either loose an opportunity or things slow down for you. Effective time managers and successful people are synonymous for keeping to time. An appointment must be fixed before a scheduled visit and once the time is placed, it has to be that time, else you are considered unserious. It is because of this good time mentality many western countries and many business owners have been able to attain a point of development.
'African time' succeeds in degrading our integrity. If a respected man has an appointment scheduled by 3p.m, gets there by 3:10p.m without a good reason for his delay or without calling, emailing or sending a message to the person he has the appointment with, it will go a long way to prove that he is unserious and he lacks integrity. If he has a genuine reason he will call the person he has the appointment with to inform him, that way, he will be respected and taken seriously. Good time management goes a long way to boost and maintain your integrity and the level of respect accorded to you.
One main reason for stunted growth in African countries today is their nonchalant attitude towards time. Robert Updegraft said 'To get all there is about living, we must stop and have a sip of life but never losing our senses of the enormous value of every minute'.
African time must be destroyed when there is strict punctuality syndrome in all aspect of life. It can be stopped by 'YOU' being noted for your punctuality and integrity. I went for a social gathering and I was surprised that everyone came before or on time or slightly after the event started and then the person beside me said 'this man does not joke with time, he is a very punctual person too. His 9 o'clock is 9 o'clock' and then I realized that your punctuality affects others too. At that gathering I learnt that if you have respect for your time and people's time, they'll reciprocate the respect. The problems of punctuality has become so bad that lateness is now the order of the day and it is now accepted in any function and people quickly seek shelter under 'African time'.
We must all make efforts to correct this trend and social vice that is destroying our society. We must inculcate the virtue of punctuality. We must live by example so that our kids, friends and people close to us can watch us, take after us and completely stop the chain of 'African time'.
Your punctuality can go a long way to affect the lives of others and provoke a change in their bad habits. We must re-brand ourselves towards respecting time and keeping appointments.

Yeardley Smith
Though few might recognize her face, actress Yeardley Smith was known the world over as soon as she opened her mouth. As the voice of one of television's most beloved characters, Lisa Simpson, on the groundbreaking comedy, "The Simpsons" (Fox, 1989- ), Smith became part of a pop-culture institution. The daughter of famed Washington Post obituaries editor, Joseph Yeardley Smith, Martha Maria Yeardley Smith was born July 3, 1964 in Paris, France. Immigrating to the U.S. two years later, she was raised in the nation's capital, where her father worked. There, Smith grew up a shy, introverted child. Finding herself drawn to performing in her early teens, Smith landed an apprenticeship at the renowned Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. after high school, before heading off to New York to seek her fortune. In 1984, Smith made her professional debut on Broadway as Debbie Reynolds's understudy in Tom Stoppard's "The Real Thing." Parlaying her success into film roles, Smith made her screen debut the following year in Michael Dinner's teen cult favorite "Heaven Help Us" (1985). Later that year, Smith made a memorable turn as Helen Slater's loud-mouthed friend, Putter, in "The Legend of Billie Jean" (1985), a featherweight action-drama directed by Matthew Robbins. Driven by a blaring rock soundtrack, "Billie Jean" was expected to go over big with MTV audiences. Unfortunately, the film was a huge bomb. Undeterred, Smith moved to Los Angeles full-time in 1986, settling into theatre work with appearances in L.A. stage productions of "Boys and Girls/Men and Women" and British playwright Alan Ayckbourne's "How the Other Half Loves." Around the same time, Smith also landed a recurring role on television, playing Luella Waters on the landmark cable comedy series, "Brothers" (Showtime, 1984-89). In the late 1980s, after having lost out on a number of roles due to her distinctive, high-pitched chirpy voice, Smith won the role of her career. This time, however, it was Smith's voice that proved the deciding factor in booking the job. In late 1987, Smith found work as a voice artist on a series of crude, but exceptionally well-received, animated shorts by "Life Is Hell" cartoonist, Matt Groening. Called "The Simpsons," these shorts were aired exclusively on the Emmy-winning sketch comedy series, "The Tracey Ullman Show" (Fox, 1987-1990). The shorts gained such a cult following that eventually their segments increased, sometimes three to four per episode. As "The Simpsons" took on a life of its own, so too did their visibility in the media. By the 1988-89 season, the cartoon family received co-star billing at the top of each show alongside Ullman herself. While the character designs were extremely primitive and voice characterizations were still in flux at this stage, the series gradually evolved. The artwork, in particular, improved dramatically. Plots generally stemmed from the mundane (such as son Bart going to get a haircut) to the more absurd (such as Homer hypnotizing the kids into behaving). In 1989, following a highly rated primetime Christmas special, Fox launched the Simpsons into their own series. Titled simply "The Simpsons," Smith returned to reprise her role as Lisa, the family's sane-minded, overachieving daughter. Joining Smith were "Ullman Show" alums Dan Castellenata (as hapless paterfamilias, Homer), Julie Kavner (as devoted wife and mother, Marge), and Nancy Cartwright (as the bratty firstborn, Bart). With the runaway success of "The Simpsons," Smith quickly faced a wealth of options. On a career hot-streak, Smith landed a second gig as a regular on the inventive ensemble comedy "Herman's Head" (Fox, 1991-94). After the cancellation of "Herman's Head," Smith maintained an impressively busy schedule. While continuing her work on the Fox hit, Smith logged over a dozen guest appearances on various other television shows throughout the 1990s. At the same time, the actress got a chance to flex her comedic muscles on the big screen. In addition to appearing in small roles in such films as "City Slickers (1991) and "Toys" (1992), Smith had a scene-stealing turn in 1997's "As Good As It Gets" starring Oscar winner Jack Nicholson. As the new millennium dawned, Smith's job prospects looked brighter than ever. In 2002, while simultaneously juggling her 14th season on "The Simpsons," Smith returned to live-action series television with her recurring role as Thomas Gibson's lovesick secretary, Marlene, on the marital comedy "Dharma & Greg" (ABC, 1997-2002). In 2004, Smith turned up again on the small screen as Penny the Reaper for a two-episode arc on the short-lived cable dramedy "Dead Like Me" (Showtime, 2003-04). Throughout her career, however, Smith never strayed far from her day job. In her career-defining role as the sax-playing Lisa Simpson, Smith became a part of television-history when "The Simpsons" became the longest-running sitcom in American TV history. In the mid-2000's, the popularity of "The Simpsons" was still sufficiently high enough that rumors of a Simpsons feature film went into overdrive. In 2006, 20th Century Fox confirmed that a feature-length movie was indeed in the works for a likely release of the summer of 2007.

Last weekend, the new Boy took me to Sepia Restaurant at Darling Park for a very delicious 10-course treat. Sepia is the collaboration of two Sydney foodies, George Costi and ex Tetsuya's Head Chef, Martin Benn – so you can only expect the very best. The restaurant is inside a little room in Darling Park with very limited seating, dark interiors and low lighting which gave it an intimate, cosy and romantic feel. The waiter/waitress to patron ratio was fairly high so we had a lot of attention from start to finish. Soon after we were seated we were asked if we were allergic to anything (luckily both of us aren't) and whether we were ok with the surprise 10-couse degustation menu (we love to be surprised!). The menu was Japanese-inspired with ingredients like ponzu (a type of soy sauce) and shiso (a Japanese herb) and uses a variety of interesting and fresh seasonal produce like Tasmanian black truffle and sorrel (a type of herb).
Here is the menu for our evening (which was delivered in a lovely black envelope right at the end):
And here are a couple of photos from the menu.
Sashimi of bonito, flavours of roasted chicken, umeboshi, upland cress, green tea, nori.
Translation: fresh sashimi on some kind of creamy omelet with water cress and crackly bits on the side – creamy, smooth, crackly and divine.
Yabby, seaweed puree, ginger, shellfish and blood orange emulsion, sorrel.
Translation: deep fried shellfish with a tangy, creamy sauce – nothing like any other tangy sauces you will ever have in your lifetime.
Charcoal grilled wagyu rump, miso mustard cream, garlic chive, mustard leaves, ponzu (Japanese soy sauce).
Translation: traditional beef with mustard sauce but given an extra kick with ponzu and garlic chives – very clever and very tasty.
Butter poached King George whiting, Tasmanian black truffle toasted milk crumb and brown butter.
Translation: it was poached in butter and served with black truffle that they toasted with milk crumbs and brown butter – how could it now have been anything short of delicious?
Meyer lemon and yuzu cream, ginger bread crumb, sheep yoghurt sorbet, fennel, olive.
Translation: a strawberry made out of sorbet with a soft, lemony cream – possibly the most delicious dessert I have had in my life so far.
Needless to say, the Boy and I were stuffed by the end and only grazed our last course (and we didn't even have the optional course!). We were both in a very happy place by the end.
I highly recommend this restaurant if you're a foodie and/or have a special occasion to celebrate with a special someone! Make a booking in advance, but you may be lucky like we were – the Boy called just a couple of hours before and we were able to get a table as soon as we walked in. They were lovely to deal with too – we were very impressed! Oh and remember to get a little dolled up – it is that sort of restaurant after all and you might as well make a night of it!

The full proposed rule can be found here. SNA will provide a more detailed summary of the proposed rule, as well as a process for members to contribute input on the rule for inclusion in the SNA comments. The key points that could impact school nutrition programs are: Add a fourth age group (13 through 18 years) to the meal pattern for children; Separate the fruit and vegetable component for children and adults; Require that at least one grain serving per day, across all eating occasions, be whole grain or whole grain-rich; Require breakfast cereals to conform to WIC requirements; Prevent grain-based desserts from counting towards the grains component; Allow an optional meat or meat alternate to be served at breakfast in lieu of some grains; Disallow frying as an onsite preparation method for day care institutions and facilities. Summary charts outlining changes to the CACFP meal pattern can be found on pages 39-41.

At the centre of this new Cold War is Ye Shiwen, a 16-year-old Chinese swimmer who snagged gold on Saturday in the 400 meter individual medley at a pace that shattered the world record by more than a second and knocked five second seconds off her personal best in the final 50 meters of the race. She was even faster in that last lap than American medal winner Ryan Lochte in the men's race.
More than a few eyebrows were raised and commentators watching the the race called it "unbelievable." But John Leonard, head of the American Swimming Coaches Association went a big step further saying her race "was reminiscent of some old East German swimmer."
Call that the Olympic equivalent of nuclear warhead.
Anyone old enough to remember Soviet and East German competitors at the Olympics will remember the hulk-like bodies of their athletes in the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's and the doping scandals that constantly discredited them.
Leonard was very clearly accusing Ye of taking some form performance-enhancing drugs.
"History in our sport will tell you that every time we see something, and I put quotation marks around this, 'unbelievable,' history shows us that it turns out later on there was doping involved," Leonard told the Guardian newspaper here in London.
Adding to the tension is China's domination of the gold medal count in the opening days of these XXX Olympic Games. The U.S. has been a distant second.
If Leonard's comments were a figurative nuclear bomb, they response from the Chinese was, well, ballistic.
"If there are suspicions, then please lay them out using facts and data," Xu Qi, head of the Chinese swimming team told the state news agency Xinhua. "Don't use your own suspicions to knock down others. This shows lack of respect for athletes and for Chinese swimming."
Today, the final world from Olympic officials cleared the Chinese swimmer's name. "She's clean. That's the end of the story," said Colin Moynihan, chairman of the British Olympic Association reporting on the results of official drug tests.
Of course, there is good reason to be wary of Chinese athletes who shatter world records. China was plagued by a series of drug-tainted scandals in the 1990's. Seven Chinese swimmers tested positive for banned substances at the Asian Games in 1994 and in 1998 four more Chinese swimmers failed drug tests in advance of the World Championships in Australia. A swimmer and her coach were expelled after being caught with a cache of growth hormones at the airport in Sydney.
That's all history now, say the Chinese, who insist they have cleaned up the sport and invested heavily in rigorous drug testing. Yet just last month 16-year-old swimmer Li Zhesi was dropped from the Chinese Olympic team.
To some that might suggest the Chinese really are cleaning up the sport, but to others it is evidence that they continue to cheat.
Leonard may have voiced what many are thinking, but he's finding it awfully lonely.
"We need to get real here," said International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams. "These are the world's best athletes competing at the very highest level. We've seen all sorts of records broken already all over the place."
Adams said the top five athletes in each event, plus two others, are tested as part of "a very, very strong drug-testing program, and we are very confident if there are cheats we will catch them."
"We can't stop speculation. It is inevitably a sad result of the fact that there are people who dope and who cheat," Adams said. "It's very sad we can't applaud a great performance. Let's give the benefit of the doubt to the athletes."
Ye is known for her large hands and feet, but otherwise she's smaller than other swimmers at 5-foot-7 and 141 pounds.
"I don't think that 4:28 is an impossible time in the 400 IM, I think it's a perfectly logical time for someone to go," said Bob Bowman, American swimmer Michael Phelps' coach. "I trust the testing service and I know that Michael was tested nonstop and we're very careful about what goes into his body, and I assume that other competitors are, too."

No 50 Shades for Donald Trump
In the world of reality TV, life is simple. Things are right or wrong. People are good or bad. There are no shades of grey. There's also a person in charge who makes the rules, with no reference to anyone else. Their decisions can't be challenged, and their power is absolute.
In the real world, things are different. There's complexity, uncertainty and shades of opinion. Not everything is binary. It's much more difficult for one person to have absolute power, since people must be persuaded to follow a course of action, rather than told what to do.
I suspect that a large part of Mr Trump's appeal to a certain sector of the US population is that he has simplified everything. He says Muslims are bad, non-Muslims are good. He says Mexican immigrants are thieves and rapists, but US citizens are honest. He says gun owners are patriotic and strong, but those who argue for gun control are liberal and weak. There's no grey in his world at all.
People often yearn for simplicity. They want to be told who is good, and who is bad. Back in the days of the Wild West, it was easy - white hats or black hats. Now it's so much more difficult, and Mr Trump has provided a solution - just look at someone's religion, politics or country of origin.
Of course, life is not a reality show. Even "reality shows" are scripted these days. They often end in tears, just as Mr Trump's naive and simplistic view of the world will do when faced with political reality.

"I frequently travel to Bath on business and always stay at the Walton due to its close proximity to central bath, well decorated clean rooms and friendly owner"
"Just had a wonderful long weekend away for the Christmas markets. Very Very happy with the choice of guest house, very friendly and homely. Beds very comfortable. Quick 10 minute walk (if that) into the main centre of Bath, and the Crescent is just behind. Have already booked to go back same time next year. Breakfast was scrummy. Thank you"
"A perefctly situated friendly guest house. 3 of us, had a room with 3 single beds, very comfortable, large shower and bedroom was large enough.
A quiet room as it was at the back of the house. Owners were very welcoming and obliging, nothing too much trouble.
Lovely breakfast and only a 5 - 10 minute walk to the centre. Will stay here again."
"I visited Bath with three friends, so we had two twin rooms. Both rooms were clean and had ensuites. One room only had a shower and toilet, the other had a bath as well.
The owners couldn't have been more friendly and helpful.
The location was excellent, as it was only about five minutes walk from the town centre, and the breakfast was nice and served quickly.
Overall, I would recommend it."
Great Value, Close to Everything
"A party of us stayed at the weekend to do some sightseeing and it really was ideal - spotlessly clean and only 5 minutes away from the town centre (but just far enough away to escape the noise of the bars and restaurants of the city centre on Saturday night).
The bathrooms were small but perfectly functional and looked as though they had been recently refurbished. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly, breakfast was good and the rooms were comfortable with everything we needed.
We could check in and leave our stuff from 11 am which was useful too. If I was visiting Bath again I would go for the Waltons every time - excellent value for money"

Three of the Newest Online Poker Sites of 2011
It seems that new poker sites are springing up all the time - some with more success than others. Can any of the newest online poker sites compete with established sites like Poker Stars, Bodog and 888 Poker? Read on to find out.
We have surveyed the market and chosen the three best sites out of all of the newest online poker sites to evolve in 2011. These three sites are WSOP Poker, Sky Poker and Winner Poker. They all have different strengths and weaknesses. See which one you think is best:
- WSOP Poker (poker.wsop.com). This World Series of Poker is probably the game's most high-profile worldwide event, and in 2011 it introduced its own contribution to the online market. All it takes is a quick download, installation and registration, all of which should take just a few minutes. There is a great variety of competitions available all through the day and night, and offer a 100% bonus of up to £500. Being operated by industry-leader Caesar's Entertainment, WSOP Poker has great service standards, and you are unlikely to experience any problems. A comfortable 9/10.
- Sky Poker (skybet.com). Unlike most serious online poker sites, Sky Poker does not demand any download, and instead can be navigated using a Java client. Backed by British broadcasting behemoth Sky, Sky Poker has the exciting benefit that some of its games are sometimes featured on live television. There are lots of guaranteed daily tournaments, but the site can seem quite sparsely populated outside of peak hours. This might, however, be down to its relatively recent origins, and perhaps it will build in time. A solid 8/10.
- Winner Poker (poker.winner.com). Although Winner Poker was established, on the iPoker network, in 2009, it has been revamped and re-marketed in 2011 and warrants inclusion in this review. Supplying entertaining tournaments 24 hours every day, Winner Poker is already gaining recognition as one of the best poker sites online. One of the secrets of its success is the level of customisation and analysis it allows its customers: you can track your own statistics to exquisite detail, create a personal avatar, and even choose the style of your card decks. A fulfilling 9/10.

Getting in the shower in the morning and suddenly finding that the hot water isn't working is no fun for anyone! Some people might swear by a cold morning shower to wake them up but for most of us, it's not an especially pleasant start to the day. So what's the problem? Most commonly, it means that the boiler has gone or is having some problems. The boiler heats up water in the home and if it's not functioning correctly, it could mean cold showers until you get it fixed.
When Your Boiler Is on the Blink
The boiler is a typical home can function as a water heater or as part of the central heating system. The problem is that many homes have boilers that are simply old and out of date. Boiler technology has improved to the point that the newest ones available on the market use even less power than those from many years ago. This power efficiency makes them invaluable in the current economy in which electricity prices are rising and people are trying to save as much money as possible.
So, how do you know when your boiler is on the blink and needs to be replaced? Look for the following:
- Leaks: Older floor-standing boilers in particular can suffer from leaks when the water tank is corroded. The problem is that over time, the water that is being held in the tank can cause damage to the inner lining. When this happens, you'll see leaks and a pool of water forming on the floor around the boiler.
- Rusty Water: One of the other symptoms of a corroded boiler tank is rust in the water. If you notice any fine brown grains in the hot water, it may be time to have the tank replaced by a professional.
If your boiler is old or on the way out, call a company that specialises in boilers – servicing, replacements and repairs in Plymouth.

From China National News:
After living in exile for nearly half a century, Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has said he may have to live out his remaining years in India, a Taiwan magazine said Saturday.
In an interview with the Business Weekly magazine, the Dalai Lama mentioned for the first time that he may not see his homeland again and may die in exile, in India.
Toward the end of the interview, the Taiwan reporters asked the Dalai Lama that since his biggest wish is to go home, if this wish cannot be fulfilled in his lifetime, how would he feel? The Dalai Lama answered the questions by explaining his three missions.[Full Text]

I decided to experiment with Zucchini Latkes when I wanted to explore a gluten-free option for friends. They turned out great. Fresh and light without losing their delectable crunchiness. It appears Zucchini Latkes are catching on.
This summer, just after we'd tested our recipes and done our photo shoot, we were delighted to see Zucchini Latkes appear on several restaurant menus.
Makes 10-12 Latkes
- 3 large zucchinis, grated
- 1/2 onion, peeled & grated
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup arrowroot flour
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme + extra for garnish
- 1 tsp salt
- pepper to taste
- vegetable or canola oil for frying
- sour cream to serve on top
- Cut zucchinis in half and process with grating blade in food processor or grate by hand with box grater. Place grated zucchini in a towel and squeeze out excess water.
- Grate onion and set aside.
- In large mixing bowl, beat eggs and add grated zucchini, onion and rest of ingredients. Add more arrowroot flour if mixture seems too wet.
- Form 3-4" patties with your hands. These latkes are more delicate than standard potato latkes so handle them with care.
- Heat 2-3 tbsp of oil on medium heat in sauté pan.
- Place patties down carefully in hot oil and let cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until you can see a little brown peeking out from underneath.
- Carefully flip latkes away from your face and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Remove latkes from pan and place on paper towel lined plate to remove excess oil. Keep warm in oven on lowest setting until all latkes cooked.
- Serve with sour cream and fresh thyme on top.

The iPhone 4 is coming this week and Apple users everywhere are celebrating.
Gameloft and Electronic Arts (EA) are getting in on the action by discounting some of the game applications for your downloading pleasure.
Gameloft's blog announced the reduced price titles (for a limited time of course) this morning. You can grab GT Racing: Motor Academy, UNO, Brothers in Arms 2: Global Front, Gangstar: West Coast Hustle, Shrek Kart, N.O.V.A. (Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance), and Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles for $0.99 each. While the iPhone 4 will only be released to certain countries, the Gameloft deal is available to everyone worldwide.
Fans of the Sims will be glad to know SimCity is among the titles EA putting up on sale. Like Gameloft, EA is practically giving the games away for $0.99 each. Better snag titles like Need for Speed, Command and Conquer, FIFA 10, Madden 10, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, and Dragon Classic before EA changes the price back. TUAW points out that you can buy all of these titles for the same price as buying the Rock Band title.
So if you want to load your iPhone 4 up with games right from the get go, you can do so cheaply. They won't be those addictive free hunting games, but they're still fun. Of course you have to like sports and car racing games for kids, but after shelling out $200 or so for the phone I'd imagine you'll be thankful for a cheap form of entertainment.

A lightweight, comfortable, purpose designed fishing shirt is a must for the serious fisherman. The best are made from technical fabrics that are highly breathable and quick drying. An important feature for a shirt used in tropical conditions for flats fishing will also need to have a high sun protection factor. This is described on the garment as a UPF number and for this purpose should be at least 30. Some of the fabrics have a built in insect repellent – this is a great idea particularly as it is common in certain parts of the world to encounter insects that will bite through normal lightweight clothing.
Our preference is for a shirt with decent sized bellows pockets that will carry a fly box together with some spare tippet material and any other small accessories I need. I also like the back of the shirt to be vented – this will allow air circulation inside the shirt and help keep you cool. Fishing shirts are cut to allow freedom of movement and should not impede casting.

Office 2010: Most Innovations Are Online
Today's Best Tech Deals
Picked by PCWorld's Editors
Top Deals On Great Products
Picked by Techconnect's Editors
While there's lots of room for Office to expand into online functionality and real-time collaboration, there's not much new territory to be explored within the traditional applications themselves. Rather than introduce dozens of new features, Microsoft has tried to make some of the existing capabilities work better, tweaked and extended the Ribbon design introduced in Office 2007 and added a few new bells and whistles.
Word: Is there anything more to add to Word? Not much, according to Microsoft developers, and most users would probably agree. So they focused on making common tasks smoother and existing tools more powerful.
Microsoft developers have data on what thousands of testers do with their products and they noticed one worrisome trend: People very frequently cut-and-paste text into their documents, but in many cases their next act is to undo. The problem is that the text they pasted, whether from another document, a Web page or a spreadsheet, doesn't show up the way they want it to in their file. So a new box appears when you paste text that gives you options for how to format it. Hover over the button for an option and the text changes to preview what it'll look like if you choose that option.
The new version of Word also makes it easier to insert pictures. Instead of being stuck with essentially how the picture looked when you inserted it, you can now make significant edits once it's in your document:, such as adjusting the brightness and contrast, changing the image to greyscale, adding drop shadows, and more.
Excel: The new version of Excel will allow you to create sparkline charts, which are tiny graphs that fit within a cell and summarize the data in the preceding cells. Another addition is slicers. These are essentially macro buttons that allow you to filter the data in a pivot table with one click.
We hope that both new features will be better explained in the final version of Excel because we couldn't manage to make either work in my preview version. Neither is included in the preview versions help file and both were greyed out on the Ribbon bar.
Outlook: Microsoft seems to have made an effort to make Outlook fit in more, making it more like the rest of Office by giving it the full Ribbon interface and more like Webmail services like Gmail by showing threaded conversations.
In Office 2007, Outlook was inexplicably left out of the Ribbon makeover. While Microsoft developers at the time had a rationale, it seemed to me like they had just ran out of time to rework the mail clients interface. Now it gets the full treatment and whether you love the Ribbon or hate it, at least the suite is now consistent.
If you're on a long string of replies to a single e-mail, Outlook will now pull all of those messages together so you can see them all at once. If you get tired of the conversation, you can click to ignore it, automatically deleting the messages and any future replies. (The feature is similar to muting a conversation in Gmail.)
Quick Steps is a promising new feature that's confusingly implemented in the preview version. The idea is that you can easily create a macro that lets you do the same thing with various messages with one click. For instance, we created a Quick Step that automatically forwarded a message with the "WTF?:" inserted before the subject.
But that Quick Step showed up only in the drafts folder, where it was created, and not in the inbox. In fact, the menu for Quick Steps didn't appear at all in the inbox, only when we opened a specific message -- and even then the presentation of this feature was entirely different than it was in the drafts folder.
Powerpoint: The most useful addition to Powerpoint is the ability to broadcast a presentation without setting up a Web meeting. You can share the presentation to a Sharepoint workplace, if your company uses Sharepoint, or to a Microsoft Windows Live account. (The Windows Live option will be free.) Then you can invite others to view the presentation. They'll see it in their browser and won't need to have Powerpoint installed.
The latest version of Microsoft's presentation tool adds some nifty new 3D transitions, like the ability to seemingly overlay your new slide over the previous one or to dissolve from one slide to another. Here's a video that shows most of them in action.
Powerpoint has ways to go to match some of the transitions that are possible in Apple's Keynote software, though, like the capability to rearrange the objects on one slide into a new organization on the next one.
Powerpoint 2010 makes it easier to "borrow" an animation from a slide deck that you really like. You can copy the animation and apply it to objects in your own presentation.
