Last year was pretty bad for Sony Ericsson. The company launched its Xperia branded Android handsets including the X10, but all the models failed to generate user interests and revenue. The X10 was criticized for its outdated Android OS (v1.6) and lack of multi-touch. Later on, Sony Ericsson was also criticized for delaying the Android 2.1 update for its flagship handset.
Nevertheless, Sony Ericsson has learnt a lesson or two from last year, and is trying to change it this year. The company announced a bunch of Xperia branded handsets, running on the latest version of Android OS, and each standing apart from the crowd.
The Xperia Arc is Sony Ericsson's flagship phone for this year. The handset is slim, stylish, packs an awesome camera and runs on the latest version of Android OS.
However, 2011 is all about dual-core Android handsets, and will the Xperia Arc be able to compete with its upcoming competition. Read our review to find out!
Build Quality And Screen
Right out of the box, anyone will be surprised by how thin and how long the Arc is. True to its name, the Arc has an Arc shaped design. At its thinnest point, the Arc measures only 8.79mm, which is… insanely thin!
The Arc is mainly made up of glossy plastics, but has a premium fit and finish. There is a metallic ring covering the sides of the phone. Sadly, all that glossy plastic is a fingerprint and smudge magnet.
Like the X10, the Arc only has 3 hardware buttons – Back, Home and Menu button – in the same order. The keys are not backlit. There are two small LEDs between the three buttons, but they are of hardly any help.
The top of the Arc houses a mini-HDMI port, while the top right houses the notification light, microUSB port and a tiny volume button. Oh! There is also a camera button at the bottom right of the handset, which will definitely go un-noticed by most people. The left side of the handset is pretty empty, and only has a 3.5mm jack.
The front of the handset is dominated by a 4.2-inch LCD screen, with a resolution of 854×480 (FWVGA). The LCD of the Arc has decent contrast and brightness. The Arc does have automatic brightness control, but there is no option to turn it on or off in the Display settings.
The Arc also features Sony Ericsson's new 'BRAVIA Mobile Engine'. This new technology boosts the screen's color contrast, and sharpness whenever a user is watching images or videos on his handsets. The technology definitely helps improve the image quality of the display. Images and videos look mind-blowing on the Arc's display. The Bravia engine does not impact the screen performance in any other aspect except when viewing images and videos.
Sadly, the biggest problem with the Arc's display is its viewing angles. The display looks washed out, if viewed from anywhere except its perfect viewing angle.
User Interface And Performance
The Arc runs on Android 2.3.2 Gingerbread, with Sony Ericsson's proprietary UI on top of it. Unlike the X10, Sony Ericsson's UI changes do not run right into the OS core, and are merely cosmetic changes. Sony Ericsson has replaced the black theme, which Google introduced with Gingerbread, and is using a blue theme instead.
The changes made by Sony Ericsson are positive in all aspects. Sadly, the Gingerbread screen-off animation as seen on the Nexus S, is not found on the Arc.
By default, the phone ships with 5 home screens. Users cannot add or delete home screens if they want. The app launcher dock can incorporate up to 4 icons, excluding the 'menu' button in the center. The application grid offers users with a nifty feature to sort apps alphabetically, in order of their use, manually or recently installed.
The MediaScape UI, found in the original X10, has been merely reduced to a desktop widget now. The music player of the Arc looks gorgeous, and even has a few equalizer presets. However, there is no option to manually create a new equalizer preset.
The Timescape UI looked good in the X10, and it still does. Basically, the Timescape UI aggregates all the social updates of your friends from Twitter and Facebook in a 3D view. Sadly, the dialer on the Arc does not feature smart dialing. The back of the handset also features a secondary mic. for noise cancellation purposes.
During the trial period, I had no issues with the performance of the Arc. The handset totally flies, and users will hardly feel the lack of a second core, on a day-to-day basis. The phone scores around ~1400points in the Quadrant benchmark, which is pretty decent.
Camera And Video Recording
This is very where the Xperia Arc truly excels. The 8MP camera at the back of the Arc is a truly mind-blowing. In proper lighting, the images came out crisp and sharp, with more than enough details.
Below is an image sample clicked at the default camera settings 6MP, 16:9 aspect ratio – from the Arc :
The rest of the images below, were clicked at 8MP resolution with auto scene detection :
Sony Ericsson also touts that the Xperia Arc has an Exmor R sensor, which allows users to click some stunning low-light pictures. I clicked some pictures in complete darkness, and the results are truly stunning.
The Arc is also able to record videos in 720p HD resolution at 30fps. The phone also features continuous auto-focus while recording videos. The back of the handset features a second microphone, to cut down on background noise while recording videos.
The camera interface of the Arc is very clean and smooth. However, the phone only offers very limited scene modes including Smile detection, scene recognition and normal mode. The camera also has touch-to-focus while clicking still pictures.
The videos taken from the phone came out clear and sharp, with no choppiness and duplicated frames were rare as well.
Web Browsing And Battery Life
The web browser on the Arc, like any other Android phone, absolutely rocks! The general web browsing performance is smooth, with no troubles. Scrolling around through web pages was smooth as well. Things did get a little jerky when browsing heavy flash based web sites like Espnstar.com. The Arc was able to playback Flash videos embedded in webpages without a hitch, as well.
Even though the Arc is insanely thin, it packs in a 1500mAh capacity battery. The handset will easily last a day on moderate to heavy usage on a single charge. Compared to most other Android handsets, especially HTC branded ones; the battery life of the Arc is a major plus!
The Xperia Arc is a decent all-round phone. I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of the phone. The camera, looks, battery life, and the performance of the Arc are its major plus points. The dated internal hardware of the handset can be a problem 2-3 months down the line, when nearly every phone will launch with a dual-core processor.
For the general users out there, the Arc is more than enough. They will be highly satisfied with it. However, for the Andro-geeks out there, the Arc is nothing but an outdated phone with an awesome camera.
At the moment, the Arc retails for Rs 28,000, which is quite steep for the features and out-dated hardware it offers. The phone will be a hot seller if priced below the 25k mark. Once the Arc's price settles below the 25k mark, it will be a true VFM phone.

If you've made a request through Comoodle recently, you'll have noticed that we asked you some questions about your planned activity.
We wanted to know how many people would be taking part and how much difference it would make to their lives. We also asked about the importance of the things you were requesting and whether the activity could go ahead without them.
We believe that Comoodle can make a real difference in our communities. We also think that our project is a great opportunity to contribute to current research about the effects of the sharing economy.
Right now there is a lot of interest in systems that measure the impact of social activities. Comoodle has been getting attention from research organisations both in the UK and abroad. We've been taking part in events like ShareLab, hosted by innovation foundation Nesta, to share our learning and keep up to date with what's happening in the sharing economy.
As Comoodle continues to develop you'll see a few more questions like these appearing when you make a request. How you answer the questions doesn't affect whether or not your request will be successful (the person who is offering to share stuff, space or skills with you doesn't see the answers) but it helps us to more accurately measure the effects our project is having.

This great re-creation of Steven Spielberg's hit dinosaur movie is so impressive. It's uncanny how much can be expressed through Lego bricks these days.
Legos filmmakers mean serious movie business.
It's like our classic childhood toys have carried into adulthood. They haven't changed much in basic appearance, but their usage in depicting stories has.
Don't get it wrong, this isn't child's play. There are real production values going on. There are specialists in the field of Lego movies who helped work on this. It's become its own genre.
Different people did the stop motion animation techniques. Others worked on building the Lego sets. Others provided the voices. And others added the visual effects.
I'm not quite sure what the appeal of making an entire movie out of Legos is, but people have been doing it for quite a while. Why use Legos when you could use clay, motion graphics, or more traditional animation? But with Legos, you can capture that audience that currently plays with Legos, which seems to have grown in age demographic.
You can't say that the appeal of Legos hasn't expanded out of its traditional age range. Do you remember this year's Oscars? The Lego movie song stole the show.
And with the new Jurassic World movie on its way into theaters this summer, this is great timing. Why don't Universal include a Lego scene in the new film, perhaps containing a clip from this animation. At least include it in the DVD or Blu-Ray special features.

Feb. 23, 2013
GREENVILLE, N.C. – The University of Notre Dame softball team picked up a pair of victories Saturday on its first day of play at the East Carolina Pirate Invitational at the ECU Softball Stadium. The Irish defeated host East Carolina 9-1 in five innings before taking down Liberty 10-2 in five frames.
Emilee Koerner was the offensive standout for Notre Dame (6-5), going a combined 5-for-6 (.833) at the plate with her first home run of 2013, seven RBI and four runs scored in the two games. Koerner added a double and a stolen base.
Katey Haus (against Liberty) and Laura Winter (against East Carolina) also hit their first home runs of the season, with Winter's solo shot being the first of her career. Haus finished the day with five RBI.
Winter (2-4) was brilliant in the circle against the Pirates in game one, allowing one run on one hit in five full innings, walking one and striking out eight East Carolina batters on 73 pitches.
Brittany O'Donnell (4-1) added another quality start for Notre Dame in game two against Liberty, allowing two earned runs in five full innings, striking out five.
Notre Dame is scheduled to face Fairfield at 9 a.m. and East Carolina at 11 a.m. Sunday to close the Pirate Invitational.
–Game 1 vs. East Carolina–
The Irish exploded at the plate in the top of the first inning, as all nine Notre Dame hitters came to bat. Jenna Simon singled through the right side to lead off against East Carolina starter Sarah Christian (5-3), and later scored on a one-out double down the right field line from Emilee Koerner to give the Irish a 1-0 lead. After Koerner advanced to third base on a wild pitch and Laura Winter drew a full-count walk, Katey Haus smacked a double to the gap in left center to extend the Notre Dame advantage to 3-0. Lauren Stuhr followed two batters later with a double to right center to plate Haus and Amy Buntin (5-0). Stuhr advanced to third on the relay from the outfield and then scored on a throwing error by Pirate catcher Kai Clark to up the Irish lead to 6-0.
Koerner laced 2-2 offering from Morgan Eisenga over the left field wall for her first home run of the season in the top of the second, scoring Kelsey Thornton in the process to extend the Notre Dame lead to eight runs (8-0). Winter ripped a full-count pitch up and out to left center field for her first career home run, and the back-to-back big flies pushed the Irish cushion to 9-0.
East Carolina (6-5) broke through in the bottom of the third inning. With runners at the corners, Kristi Oshiro tagged a fly ball out to shallow right field off Winter, and the sacrifice fly allowed Chelsea Kaluhiokalani-Glackin to score from third base (9-1). Winter forced Alex Fieldhouse to foul out to Buntin behind the plate to end the frame.
Notre Dame held the Pirates at bay in the bottom of the fourth inning, as Winter struck out Clark looking and Casey Alcorn and Jordan Lewis swinging to retire the side. Winter sat down the side in order in the bottom of the fifth inning, striking out Kelsi Briggs and Meredith Mitchell swinging in consecutive at-bats to end the game.
–Game 2 vs. Liberty–
Liberty (2-5) threatened early in the contest against Irish starter Brittany O'Donnell, loading the bases on consecutive walks with one out in the top of the first inning. O'Donnell punched out Grace Norden looking for the second out, and Kelby Allen swinging to keep the Flames off the scoreboard.
Jenna Simon opened the Irish half of the first with a laser triple down the left field off Liberty starter Annah Jo Brittingham (1-2). Emilee Koerner continued her torrid pace at the plate with a single through the left side, scoring Simon to give Notre Dame a 1-0 lead.
Hanna Nichols turned on the first pitch she saw from O'Donnell in the top of the second inning and sent it screaming over the wall in left field to put Liberty on the scoreboard (1-1). An RBI single from Holly Seiz scored Katie Zavodny to give the Flames a 2-1 lead. Seiz was put out trying to advance to second by Irish catcher Amy Buntin to end the frame.
Notre Dame clawed back in the bottom of the second inning. Megan Sorlie worked a 3-1 walk and Chloe Saganowich ripped a double off the wall in left field to move both runners into scoring position. An RBI groundout to first base by Micaela Arizmendi scored Sorlie and tied the game at 2-all.
The Irish broke the game open in the bottom of the third. Singles from Kelsey Thornton and Koerner set the table for Katey Haus. The sophomore infielder crushed a 1-2 pitch to opposite field, hitting the base of the scoreboard in right for a three-run shot that vaulted Notre Dame in front 5-2. Cassidy Whidden ripped a Brittingham offering off the base of the left field fence for a one-out double, chasing the Liberty starter from the game. Flames reliever Chandler Ball held the Irish at bay for the inning's final two outs.
A leadoff single from Arizmendi and back-to-back infield hits from Simon and Thornton loaded the bases for Koerner in the bottom of the fourth inning. The Notre Dame left fielder sent the first pitch she saw up the middle for a two-run single, scoring Arizmendi and Simon (7-2). A stolen base for Koerner and a four-pitch walk issue to Haus loaded the bases again with nobody out. Buntin sent a two-run double past the shortstop Nordan to extend the Irish cushion to 9-2.
O'Donnell breezed through the top of the fifth inning, retiring the Flames in order. The senior right-hander sat down Zavodny and Sammi Shivock swinging during the perfect half.

If you haven't started reading Here Lies Daniel Tate by Cristin Terrill, you aren't living your best life now! Check out the book description, then let me explain exactly why this book is AMAZING!
It seems too good to be true when Daniel Tate, missing since he was abducted from one of California's most elite private enclaves at the age of ten, turns up on a snowy street in Vancouver six years later. At first too traumatized to speak, he is eventually able to tell the authorities who he is and is reunited with his overjoyed family. In time, they tell him, he'll recover the memories he's missing; all that matters is that they have him back.
It's perfect. A miracle. Except for one thing:
That boy isn't Daniel Tate.
But he wants to be. A young con artist who's been taking on false identities for years, this impostor has stumbled onto the scam of a lifetime. Daniel has everything he's ever dreamed of—wealth, privilege, the chance to make a fresh start, and most importantly, a family that loves him. Now that he's finally found a place to belong, he doesn't question his luck.
Until he realizes that maybe Daniel isn't missing at all. Maybe someone knows what really happened to the boy he's pretending to be…and if he can't uncover the truth—he could be next the next Daniel Tate to disappear.
I know, that description sounds so good, and I promise the actual book will live up to ALL your expectations. I read it in one sitting because I couldn't put it down! It also has the perfect pacing: not too fast that you miss any details, and not too slow that you ever get bored as you read. It's the thriller mystery you didn't know you needed, and I could gush about it forever, BUT I don't want to give away any spoilers. So check out my 6 spoiler-free reasons to read Here Lies Daniel Tate, and then start reading the extended excerpt (available until July 3rd)! You're welcome in advance and if you'd like to gush about the book with me, feel free to do so in the comments!
1. Daniel
Daniel is the king of unreliable narrators because he's an incredibly gifted con-man. You can't trust anything he says, but the story is told from his perspective, which means you never quite know what to think or believe. There are moments when you'll swear he's telling the truth, only to have him explain exactly how he lied, and when you think he's lying, he'll turn out to be telling the truth. He also flip-flops between being bad and being good. At times you'll think he's a villain in this story, and at other times you'll swear he's the only good guy left.
2. The Tate Family
At first, the Tate family seems like your average (albeit rich) family that has gone through a tragedy. After all, no one can be expected to be normal after losing a family member, but as you read on, you'll start to realize that something about the family is off. They're a little creepy, but you can't quite put your finger on WHY. Patrick, Daniel's older brother, is almost too accepting. Lex, his older sister, is just a little too nice. Nicholas, his other brother, is a little too skeptical. Jessica, his Mom, is distant and an alcoholic. The only one who acts normal is Daniel's youngest sister, Mia, but she was only a baby when Daniel went missing. Still, even as you're trying to explain what's off about the family, you can't. It's just a gut feeling that haunts you as you read.
3. The Mysteries
What happened to Daniel all those years ago? The book begins with the mystery of Daniel and his unusual disappearance, but from there, you'll start to learn about several other mysteries. Why didn't Daniel's disappearance get more news coverage? Why is Jessica so distant from her children? Why is Nicholas so reluctant to believe Daniel? What is Patrick hiding? What is the secret that the family doesn't want Daniel to find out? One mystery leads to another, until they eventually all snowball together to form massive mysteries that you'll be DYING to get answers for!
4. The Writing
Cristin Terrill does an amazing job at getting you hooked from page one with Daniel's compelling and intriguing narrative. Daniel has no recollection of his family (since it isn't actually his family) so you're able to learn about the Tate family and their quirks through Daniel's incredibly scrutinizing and perceptive eyes. He's also scrappy, so he finds family documents, videos, and notes that allow you to get other insider-information about the family members. Every page holds a clue that you're supposed to use to solve the ultimate mystery, and the more you learn, the more you'll wonder what really happened to Daniel Tate all those years ago. You'll question everything until the very last page.
5. The Twist
I obviously won't give away what the big surprise is, but OH MY GOODNESS. I audibly gasped as I was reading on the subway and I'm not even a little bit embarrassed by it. I pride myself on being able to guess mystery outcomes, but I did NOT see that one coming. You might guess pieces of it, but definitely not the whole thing!

Pushkar Mela and beyond
" Witnessing the Pushkar Mela was intense . We started early morning pre dawn to reach the Mela ground ,which was always buzzing with activity . On a parallel in equal measure frenetic activities were happening around the ghats with devotees flocking round the clock . Pushkar holds a unique place in heart of worshippers as it accommodates the only Brahma temple in India . Having witnessed the Mela earlier I have realised the Mela has only grown in popularity . A throng of visitors makes my task more difficult to take images that focusses on the essence of the festival and search for vantage points ( for example the view of Camel ground from the top)"
— Notes in the journal (Pushkar Nov 2015)
Self Portrait, Ready to Fly
The Pushkar Mela at Ajmer district in Rajasthan is the world's largest camel fair, and a kaleidoscope of culture and local traditions. It has over the years become a popular travel festival and is in radar of international tourists .
Pushkar, the town itself is famous for the only temple of Lord Brahma in India has its base around its lake. Legend also attributes the name to the Sanskrit words 'Pushp' and 'Kar' which refer to the lotus flower. The Pushkar lake has ghats all around and makes for a pretty picture .
( word of caution : one cannot photograph around the lake as suggested by the local authorities)
I have been going to Pushkar since 2005 every now and then. The best way to do the trip from New Delhi is to take the early morning train ( Ajmer Shatabdi ) from New Delhi and reach Ajmer. The town of Pushkar is situated about 14 km from Ajmer .

- Description
Geranium pyrenaicum is a European species and well known for being one of the most floriferous of Geraniums. 'Bill Wallis' is the best cultivar of the type with especially desirable, very deep violet-purple flowers
Very easy to grow, 'Bill Wallis' produces profusely from April to August, the deep violet-purple flowers each with deeply notched petals, float over the plant all summer.
This charming variety has a mounding habit that forms an attractive evergreen clump that looks good all year round. Its leaves are lobed and more rounded than most Geranium species.
Reliably perennial and evergreen and growing to 30 to 45cm (24 to 18in) high, Ideal for a hot spot in the garden, this tough but dainty plant is an excellent ground cover for difficult conditions. This slug resistant plant will attract bees and butterflies to your garden. It is ideal for containers and for trailing over rocks.
It won't fade away if you forget to water and when happy will self-sow to fill in bare spots. Coming true from seed, they are at their impressive best in the late evening.
Sowing: Sow in late winter/late spring or in late summer/autumn.
Fill pots, cells of trays with a good seed starting compost. (John Innes or similar). Sit the containers in water to moisten thoroughly. Sow the seeds 2.5cm (1in) apart, on the surface of the compost and cover seed with vermiculite, sand or sieved compost after sowing. Keep soil slightly moist but not wet. Perennial geraniums often germinate over several months, usually between 30 to 90 days at temperatures around 5 to 10°C (41 to 50°F). Seed trays should not be discarded prematurely. Constant moisture must be maintained. Do not leave in direct sunlight.
Transplant the seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots to grow on. Avoid large pots, because the compost will be wet permanently and wetness can a cause growth inhibition and a poor root development.
Overwinter autumn sown seedlings indoors frost free at 3 to 5 °C (37 to 41°F). If outdoors use an outdoor fleece cover to protect the plants.
Plant outdoors in spring after the last expected frosts. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10 to 15 days before planting out into their permanent positions. Space 30 to 40cm (12 to 15in) apart.
In mid summer after flowering rejuvenate plants that are beginning to look jaded by shearing it back, this will promote dense growth and encourage better reblooming. Lift and divide large colonies in spring, March to May
Low-moderate fertilisation levels are required use a complete balanced fertiliser. Avoid high ammonium and high nitrogen levels. Very high nitrogen levels will cause shoot stretching and then the shoots fall apart. Don't fertilise after mid September.
The roots are sensitive to wet substrates which can cause rotting of roots and poor plant quality. Allow for the plants to dry thoroughly between irrigations.
Plant Uses:
Cottage/Informal Garden, Flowers Borders and Beds, Wildlife / Butterfly Garden. Beekeeping.
Full sun to partial shady locations. Rock gardens, stone walls, perennial borders, ground cover, large containers.
Geranium is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants, found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region.
Geranium pyrenaicum is a frost hardy perennial geranium native to areas of France and Spain to the Caucasus
The name Geranium comes from the Greek 'geranion', which is a diminutive of 'geranos' meaning crane.
The species name 'pyrenaicum' refers to the place of its origin and the mountain range of the Pyrenees, between France and Spain.
It gets its common name 'crane's bill' from the 'beak' over the seed pod and is also called storksbill in some areas.
The name "crowfoot" is often used for geraniums, because the leaves resemble buttercups, which historically were called crowfoots

CHINATOWN – Is situated in the Las vegas Valley consisting of large strip malls there are owned and operated by ethnic Chinese as well as other Asian ethnicities. The architect of several of the buildings, provide viewers with a great view of the Asian culture.
You should also look for Happy Hours around town where you will find a variety of bars and lounges offering great deals on their drinks and a variety of different appetizers that you might be able to get full on. You will also find a lot of low prices for food if you go and visit the Food Court in the fashion show mall. There's a large variety of food that's not going to break the bank.
Inside Tip: Although you can hear the show while in the patio dining area of the Cheesecake Factory, the surrounding crowd interferes with the view. So the show and dining are best done separately. I'd choose to dine inside where you can enjoy your company and the meal, then enjoy the show on its own when you're ready.
You will not have to worry about going hungry in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Strip, and its surrounding area, offers an array of restaurants to choose from. Most casinos also offer full buffets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The best news is that Las Vegas is a twenty-four hour city. Many casino restaurants are open around the clock, perfect for a meal after a night of gambling or nightclub hopping.
Decide on which amenities are important. Hotels with pools are always fun for the family. A suite with an a separate bedroom and a pull-out sofa bed for the kids would be more private, not to mention much more comfortable than sharing a small hotel room with your children. The conveniences of a mini-fridge and microwave are essential for storing and reheating leftovers which can be eaten the following day. Cable TV or DVD players for your children's favorite movies (brought from home) are always helpful during downtime.
2) The Desert Inn Arterial. You can get from Valley View Blvd west of Las Vegas Blvd go under Las Vegas Blvd and end up at Paradise Blvd in less than 3 minutes. From there you can reach the Las Vegas Hilton, The Riviera Hotel, the Sahara Hotel or the Hard Rock Hotel to the south in 5 minutes. You are also right in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center if you are in town for a convention. This route is also a quick route to or from the Rio.
Gondoliers can be seen in the canal, and put on a parade at the beginning and end of each day (9:45 a.m. & 4:15 p.m.) The Gondolier March is an opportunity to be serenaded by the Gondoliers as they march through the mall from the Food Court to St. Mark's Square.

Star Trek Analysis
After a recent sleep study I asked the doctor if I could take the data with me. He laughed and agreed after admitting that he had to have his data too when he first took a study. I realized after I came home that I potentially had an interesting set of data because before I drifted off in the laboratory I finished up an episode of Star Trek the Next Generation, Season 1 episode 18. The doctor immediately noticed that I was watching something by glancing at the EEG and eye tracking chart the next morning. I decided that I would try to correlate that data with my EEG data. This post is a precursor to that mini-project.
In order to do that I needed something about the video to use as my triggering events, something to correlate against. I decided to analyze the episode frame by frame and compare each frame with the next one to detect the 'amount of differentness'. I used a simple metric, taking the RGB values of each pixel in frame at time T, and then the absolute value of the difference between the positions in frame T and the corresponding positions in frame T+1. As you may guess the super sharp spikes are scene cuts where nearly all the pixels have a large difference between T and T+1.
What you see below is a clip from that episode at about 32:25, 10 frames turned into an animated GIF which is trough to trough of the 'double mountain' shape in the center of line plot below. This caught my eye as a repetitious and mechanically generated shape so I pulled up the video at that moment and indeed it was Dr. Crusher doing computer analysis of medical data from the doomed denizens of Aldea. By comparison the smooth line to the left of the first cut-spike is her face toward the camera head slowly turning toward the computer.
Next is a two-frame loop from my most memorable scene in this episode. The planet demonstrates its power by hurling the Enterprise through space like a toy.
This is two frames animating, and you can see the ship is moving slightly but the rest of the scene doesn't change. These two frames are the bottom of the trough most of the way down the slope of the jagged mountain center of the plot. This seemed bizzare, and I found it also through looking at the plot below and noticing the jagged edges. After looking at several special effect scenes that have this same characteristic I realized the jagged spikes in the chart indicate 12 fps (or some other partial frame rate) with interpolation. Some of this effect could be due to the poor quality compressed digital copy that I have, but the visual analysis (some things moving, while everything should be moving) indicates there is a real difference in the broadcast. In this repetition, the star field would freeze every fourth frame while the ship continued to move.
All ~60000 frames (at 24 fps) are available here.

Alexander: President Trump and the Republican Congress Are Getting Results for the American People
Says most recent example is new law cutting red tape for Tennessee's community banks and credit unions
Posted on June 1, 2018
FRANKLIN, Tenn., June 1, 2018 – United States Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) today spoke with members of the Williamson County Association of Realtors about what President Trump and the Republican Congress have accomplished over the last 17 months.
"When I travel across the state, some people will say to me, 'Why doesn't Washington ever get anything done?' My answer to them is that President Trump and the Republican Congress are getting results for the American people – passing the most significant tax reform in 31 years to help keep more money in Tennesseans' pockets, appointing conservative judges and repealing regulations," Alexander said. "Just this week, the president signed legislation into law that will eliminate some unnecessary reporting requirements on Tennessee's community banks and credit unions, which will help make it easier for Tennesseans to turn to their local financial institution for help buying a home or investing in a small business."
Alexander also talked with members about how the Administration is helping America's self-employed entrepreneurs and small businesses with its new initiative that would allow a self-employed Tennessee plumber or farmer or an employee of a small business to buy the same kind of less expensive health insurance that employees of large companies can buy today. These plans – known as Association Health Plans – could not charge employees more if they have pre-existing conditions, and must include the other patient protections required for large employers.
"The Administration's Association Health Plans could provide small businesses and self-employed Americans, such as realtors like some of you, with the same health coverage opportunities, cost advantages, and coverage protections that employees of large companies enjoy today. For the Tennesseans who have seen their premiums go up by 176 percent on the Obamacare exchanges, the administration appears to have found a solution."
In January of 2018, the U.S. Labor Secretary Alex Acosta proposed a rule to allow self-employed Americans and more small businesses to band together to provide an Association Health Plan—which should help reduce health insurance costs. Alexander talked with Secretary Acosta about these plans at a Senate subcommittee hearing in April.

Lightning round time. Fifteen things that make me happy about comics right now, in no particular order:
1. Jim Woodring made a seven-foot-tall nib pen called Nibbus Maximus. Then he drew with it in public. Jim Woodring also has a book called Congress of the Animals coming out this spring. If you are wise, you will not miss it.
2. Jenn Manley Lee's fine webcomic "Dicebox" (that's an image from it up top) has been growing long enough that there's going to be a 300-page book collection of the story so far. Go thou and pre-order it.
(More on TIME.com: Emanata: Life Drawings)
3. Cathy Malkasian's Temperance came out in the middle of last year, and I still don't know quite what to make of it, which is probably a good sign. It's a graphic novel about a walled city whose inhabitants have been misled by patriarchal lies to believe that the whole city is actually a mighty ship on an ocean of fire preparing for the final battle of an enormous war; it's narrated by a tree which is cut down near the beginning of the book and turned into a wooden leg, then a doll that comes to life. It's lovely to behold, rather difficult, terribly sad, very frustrating in some ways, and absolutely worth looking at.
4. Excellent new comics-related Twitter feed: Comics LongReads (links to long articles about comics).
5. Also, have you noticed that a certain Daily Planet reporter has a fake Twitter? Extra points for the sweet Kurt Schaffenberger icon.
6. Kate Beaton continues to invent new forms of cartooning–in this case, the four-panel strip whose first panel is an old Nancy Drew book cover. And her Hark! A Vagrant strip is going to be collected by Drawn & Quarterly. There are not-infrequent days when I think she may be the funniest artist in North America.
7. Joe Alterio has relaunched Robots and Monsters, a project in which he and other artists draw, well, robots and monsters, to donors' three-word specifications. The money from donations goes partly to the artist, partly to Doctors Without Borders; artists involved include Gary Panter, Molly Crabapple and Jeannine Schafer.
8. The ongoing wave of reprints of fascinating long-lost comics shows no signs of abating. There's a new publisher called Picture This Press that's reprinting work by early 20th-century illustrators and cartoonists; their first three volumes are devoted to E.T. Reed, Frederick Richardson and Eugene Zimmerman–the last of these a new edition of a 1910 book of how-to tips and professional advice called Cartoons and Caricatures, or Making the World Laugh.
9. Speaking of long-lost-and-reclaimed comics: Five months ago, I whined here about eight comics I wanted to see reprinted. Since then, reprints of two of them have been announced: DC's reprinting Sugar and Spike (in a high-end hardcover edition rather than a little-kid-friendly format, but hey, it's Sugar and Spike, I'm going to stop complaining now), and Fantagraphics is doing Barnaby.
10. There's a new and welcome trend of very tightly focused comics Tumblrs: Superheroes Lose (comics covers depicting superheroes in abject defeat); Unmasquerade (panels in which heroes or villains remove their masks); A Nice Cup of Comics (panels in which somebody is drinking tea); A Moment of Moore (something Alan Moore-related every day).
(More on TIME.com: Emanata: Ten Comics We're Still Waiting For)
11. Not entirely unrelatedly, the reliably entertaining Bully Says: Comics Oughta Be Fun! blog recently pulled off a brilliant bit of self-mocking/selection of very specific comics images: 365 Days with the Guy Freaking Out on the Cover of Action Comics #1.
12. Steve Ditko is still making comics–some of the most eccentric, idiomatic, deeply felt and uncompromising work of his career, totally divorced from anything else that's happening in the medium. He's basically writing and drawing a bimonthly 32-page comic book at this point. It's not easy to read, but it's fascinating as one of the all-time great crowd-pleasing cartoonists doing work that doesn't has to please anyone but himself.
13. Craig Thompson's long-awaited Habibi has finally been scheduled; it's due out this September!
14. It may just be a side-effect of the in-the-works Judge Dredd movie, but a whole lot of nifty material from the long-running British weekly comic book 2000 A.D. is finally coming back into print–not just the Dredd books, but serials like Strontium Dog and Al's Baby and Bad Company that I wouldn't have counted on seeing again in any form other than on yellowing newsprint.
15. How awesome is it that the legendary Japanese cartoonist Osamu Tezuka's work is (finally, slowly) appearing in print in America? The most recent volume Vertical has published is the intense family tragedy Ayako; next up is The Book of Human Insects (a.k.a. Human Metamorphosis), due out in July.

Hybridized Dwarf Wheat and the Gluten Epidemic
Optimal yield at minimum cost!!!
In 1970, Norman Borlaug, who is known as the father of the green revolution won the Noble Peace Prize for helping increase the world's food supply and advancing techniques in biotechnology while at the International Wheat and Maize Improvement Center (IWMIC) outside Mexico City. What isn't known by many people, is the hybridized wheat (triticum aestivum) Dr Borlaug invented through genetic processing techniques such as backcrossing, contains the D genome, which overproduces the a-gliadin protein that damages the villi of the small intestine in gluten sensitive individuals. Over 99% of the world's wheat is the 42 chromosome triticum aestivum dwarf wheat. With its ability to reach maturity faster than older species of wheat, such as Einkorn, and support more coatless seeds without buckling, dwarf wheat appears for all practical intents and purposes to be the ideal food crop for modernity. Norman Borlaug theorized that his dwarf wheat would end world hunger and prevent deforestation by bearing more seed grain on a sturdier stalk. This increases its overall surface area, and thus requiring less farmland. Plus triticum aestivum's dwarfish stalk requires a shorter growing season, reaching maturity much faster than ancient Einkorn wheat. What geneticists failed to take into consideration is that wheat contains cumulative genes on their chromosomes which express more gluten and anti-nutritive secondary metabolites such as phytic acid. All species have some form of innate defense mechanism whether physical or chemical, that protects them from predation. Genetically backcrossing certain species like wheat magnifies each of the adaptive and anti-nutritive phytochemicals, contributing to auto-immune disorders like celiac disease. Phytic acid (IP6) is the principle storage form of phosphorus and chelates (binds) minerals such as zinc and iron, interrupting normal mineral absorption. It's important to note that minerals ab-sorb meaning are body's don't actively pick them up but hope they diffuse into the intestinal walls. Norman Borlaug's intention was to create dwarf wheat, so it could withstand draught, pestilence and barren soil no matter where it was sown. Coded by the D genome, gliadin and other proteins found in dwarf wheat are being investigated for their role in increasing brain inflammation, especially in the cerebellar purkinje neurons which control coordination, precision and timing in bodily movements. Purkinje neurons are part of the cerebellum and if you want to execute a perfect tennis swing like Arthur Ashe or perform a split second mid-air, feign-lay-up like Michael Jordan, you'll need optimal cerebellar coordination to pull it off. Neuroscientist have discovered that purkinje cells are unable to regenerate like other nerve cells and are currently investigating whether certain conditions like cerebellar ataxia and gluten encephalopathy are caused by the consumption of wheat containing products. Cerebellar ataxia is a debilitating condition which interrupts normal fine-tuned motor movements. One of the funniest scenes from the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is when Johnny Depp playing the eccentric gonzo journalist Hunter S Thompson, stumbles toward the Bazooko Circus Casino entrance after inhaling raw ether. Johnny Depp narrates the scene, describing his erratic inability to seize control of his limbs as "becoming the village drunkard in some early Irish novel." This scene fast forwards the gradual atrophy of the cerebellum, and why age related falls in elderly people is correlated with cerebellum deterioration.
Ancient wheat grains like the yellow pigmented Einkorn (German for single grain) species have 14 chromosomes and code for the A genome which produces less gluten and different varieties of protein. A breakdown of the two gluten proteins gliadin to glutenin in Triticum aestivum (modern wheat) is 8:1 and in Triticum Monococcum (Einkorn single grain) 1:1. Older grain species like Einkorn (Triticum monococcum) are genetically simpler and hardier than the new wheat hybrids which are dependent upon human intervention requiring organophosphate insecticides and nitrogen fertilizers for development. Modern wheat (triticum aestivum) contains the A, B, D genome and is geared for market forces, producing uniform yields that help Wall Street gauge commodity prices. Plus triticum aestivum tastes better, offering bakers and chefs better dough rising capability than the gritty, crumbly Einkorn wheat. Dwarf wheat is 70% carbohydrate and 15% protein and indigestible fiber. Einkorn has a superior nutrient profile containing more protein, (1:1 ratio gliadin to glutenin) essential fatty acids, phosphorus, potassium, Vitamin B-6, lutein and beat-carotene. Nutritionally, wheat contains the starch amylopectin A, which is rapidly broken down by the enzyme amylase in the digestive system into its simplest form glucose where it's sent into the bloodstream triggering the release of insulin. Insulin is a storage hormone that clears the blood of glucose by either restoring glycogen levels in lean tissue or depositing excess energy in fat cells for future use. Last, wheat gluten proteins like gliadin reduce the amount of intestinal Goblet Cells which are involved in delivering antigens to tolerogenic (tolerant) immune cells, preventing autoimmune responses and thus maintaining homeostasis in the small intestine. It's this reduction in intestinal Goblet cells that causes unnecessary immunoreactivite conditions like celiac disease.

About Channeling: Responsibility & Discernment
Channeling is an age-old practice of connecting with spirit for insights and guidance. It is "risky" work in that it can open the channel (the receiver) to some lower astral energy that can ultimately wreak havoc… however, when approached with a balanced, responsible attitude and a loving heart, channeling can produce information that benefits not just the receiver, but the entire human race…
Lee Carrol, channeling Kryon, one of today's most well-known entities, offers some valuable advice for the aspiring channel. For more from Kryon, visit http://www.kryon.com
Says Lee, About Channeling, Responsibility and the Power of Discernment…
I want to take this opportunity to speak of channeling in general. It is often misunderstood as something spooky and weird, and I'll bet you have certain friends that you would never tell.. that you were looking at this web page! Some feel it is evil, and many don't want anything to do with it. They would rather stick to other information that isn't channeled (they think). That's what is funny!
CHANNELING DEFINITION: The divine, inspired words (or energy of God) as imparted to Humans and delivered to other Humans by Humans.
The above definition is what channeling actually IS. That means that not only were most of the sacred scriptures of the planet (all religions) channeled originally, but also much artwork and music too! Channeling is absolutely commonplace, but like so many other reemerging processes in the New Age, it has a stigma about it that is strange.
We have been used to having "authorized and sanctioned" men and women of God passing information to us… not the common folks. Therefore in this New Age, where the actual basic intent of the New Age Master of Love is beginning to surface (that of self enablement for those other than the priests of the land), we are seeing more and more "common folk" passing on the information of God.
Even in our own culture, we accept the letters from a common man to his friends in several cities in the Holy Land… as the sacred words of God! (This is how much of the New Testament of the Holy Bible was written.) Think about it. That's channelling!
God did not stop speaking to humans 2,000 years ago. To accept this is to deny your own divinity, or to assign some special sacredness to the past, and not feel worthy to consider yourself part of God's continued plan for an enlightened Earth. You are worthy of a continued communication with God… which I teach is actually a part of YOU!
But there is something that comes with channeling….
Anyone can channel, and Spirit is not proprietary in this regard. It's for all humans, and not just a few. Therefore the ability and potential exists for this attribute for us all. Like so many other things, INTENT of the human means everything. Not all channeling is given with PURE INTENT. Therefore, some is real, and some is not… and YOU should be able to tell the difference when you HEAR or READ it.
Many men and women are spouting verbiage these days, calling it inspired… some on web pages just like this. How can you tell if it's real or not, since there is no organization telling you who is "OK" and who is not? (Aren't you glad?)
The responsibility of a REAL channel is AWESOME. Sacred, anointed information can change lives! Self-serving egocentric information can be confusing and actually halt a person's spiritual growth. How can you know the difference? Kryon tells us that we have the power of discernment to know, and that we will even be able to "feel" the difference.
For those of you who are still learning what that feeling is, I have some information that may help. It was published originally in New Realities magazine, July 1987… two years before Kryon got here (how appropriate). The article is called "Guidelines for Spiritual Discernment." Twelve (12) guidelines are shown in the article for the reader to watch for, both negative and positive. Kryon has told us that this information is accurate, and was developed by enlightened Humans to teach other Humans. Below I present Seven (7) of the twelve (as also presented in Kryon Book Six, "Partnering With God").
The next time you sit before a channel or read a transcription, consider these seven items presented below. As you listen to or read the words of a channeler, also try to ask "what is the intent of the human speaking." Is there any ego or Human agenda? If you detect it… then stop. There cannot be human ego present for the information to be accurate and true. Spirit demands this of the channeller… I know. I also know from over ten years of live channeling experience that the message will ALWAYS be filled with love, and not fear. Watch for this!
Do you "recognize" the energy as familiar and feeling like "Home?" This is another key. If you don't, and you can't identify with the entity or entities that are channeling through the Human, then perhaps you should pass on the message for now.
IMPORTANT: Please take a moment to read the "four attributes of love" as presented in chapter one of the Kryon Book – Partnering with God – (and also given on the Kryon web site). It will help you to understand an ego-less state… and some of the attributes of real sacred energy.
Then discern for yourself. What is happening? Messages from a human? … or messages from a loving and wise God? I expect and welcome this test for everything I write and speak as a channel for Kryon. It absolutely must stand up every time.
Paraphrased…- New Realities Magazine – July 1987
- There will always be useful information for everyone. Beware of the channel that gives you useful information for only a few, or tells you that it's only for a special group or a sequestered number. It must be useful for ALL humanity, every single Human. This is an area of discernment allowing you to know you are hearing the truth.
- The message should be uplifting. Watch for an empowering message – NOT ONE OF FEAR, not one that drags you down – not one that makes you want to take fearful action or hide – but an enabling message! This is a staple of God energy. It must be there. It should inspire the listener.
- Spirit (God) will never, ever channel a message that asks you to give up your free will. Never! For your free will is what your experience on Earth is all about as you sit in your "chairs of gold" (a metaphor created in Kryon Book Six). Free will! CHOICE is what drives your planet's future.
- Spirit will never give you a message – ever – that asks you to violate the integrity of what you believe. You are honored in your thought processes. Spirit will never trick you or "talk you" into anything. The message must never violate your integrity. You must feel comfortable with it, and it will ring true to your heart.
- Spirit will never represent a channeler as being the only source. Watch for this, for there are many channels of Spirit and they all coordinate their information to create a bigger picture, especially in this New Age. They will NEVER represent themselves as the ONLY source of information.
- Watch for the fact that the information is normally new information. Beware of the channel that simply re-hashes the old, for they are not channeling anything but the ego of the Human Being. New information is necessary. It is the entire reason for the channel. Think about it.
- Watch for the fact that channeled information should have spiritual solutions presented. Solutions to life challenges on Earth, via new information, is the purpose of channeling.

Europe: Stocks suffer worst week of losses in more than four years
[LONDON] European shares fell on Friday, with lingering worries about China causing a major regional equity index to suffer its worst weekly loss since August 2011.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index ended down 1.5 per cent, leaving it with a loss of around 7 per cent over the course of the week.
That marked its worst weekly performance since early August 2011, when it fell nearly 10 per cent during the euro zone's sovereign debt crisis.
Equity markets had received a lift earlier in the day from a rise in major Chinese stock indices, after regulators suspended the circuit breaker mechanism that halted trading twice this week. The shutdowns were blamed for exacerbating the sell-offs they were intended to limit.
Some investors said China's ability to manage its markets had been damaged. A fall in the yuan also raised concerns about a slowdown in China, the world's second-biggest economy.

European stocks failed to hold onto an initial move higher after strong US jobs data. Although the data highlighted momentum in the world's biggest economy, it also showed a fall in average hourly earnings. "Average hourly earnings are not growing, and that's slightly disappointing," said Hantec Markets' analyst Richard Perry.
Francois Savary, chief investment officer at Geneva-based Prime Partners, said the US growth was strong enough to offset the worries about China to a certain extent.
Jonathan Stubbs, European equity strategist at Citigroup, said that he expected European shares to rise this year, thanks to signs of economic recovery in the region and higher corporate profits, but markets would remain volatile.
Stubbs forecast the pan-European STOXX 600 index to end 2016 at 400 points. This would mark a gain of around 17 per cent from its Friday closing price of 341.35 points, but Stubbs expected the ride along the way to be a bumpy one. "We still expect equity returns to be driven by modest growth and some re-rating this year, but volatility is likely to remain near-term," said Stubbs.
