The freealut library ===================== freealut is a free implementation of OpenAL's ALUT standard. See the file AUTHORS for the people involved. Building and installing on *nix-alikes using autotools ====================================================== To build and run ALUT, you need an OpenAL somewhere (and a sound card, of course :-). If OpenAL is not installed in a standard place (let's say ${OPENAL_PREFIX}) you'll have to tell the build system about it: CPPFLAGS="-I${OPENAL_PREFIX}/include" LDFLAGS="-L${OPENAL_PREFIX}/lib" export CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS If you install ALUT from the CVS repository, you'll have to call ./autogen.sh first, this will generate some necessary files for building ALUT. If these initial preparations are done, you can simply run: ./configure make make install The last step is optional and must be done as 'root', you can build and use the test programs in 'test_suite' and the example programs in 'examples' without installing ALUT. To build these, just go to the respective subdirectories and run 'make'. Alternatively, there is a spec file in the admin/RPM subdirectory, which can be used to build an RPM. Building with VisualStudio ========================== The admin subdirectory contains VisualStudio6 and VisualStudioDotNET subdirectories, which contain a Visual Studio 6 workspace and a Visual Studio .NET solution, respectively. These expect the OpenAL SDK (header and import library) at the standard path "C:\Program Files\OpenAL 1.1 with EFX SDK". If this is not the case for your setup, you can change this either directly with a text editor in the project files (the only way for *real* men ;-) or via the project settings within Visual Studio. When everything is OK, just build e.g. the hello_world project and you should get the ALUT library itself and a demo with Steve Baker saying an immortal phrase. Building with CMake =================== The CMake build files are maintained by prakash()punnoor.de, so if you have troubles building Alut using CMake, please contact me and not the Alut devs, as the official build system is still the one using autotools. The CMake build files are currenty meant as an additional possibility to build Alut. The aim of using CMake is making portable development easier, as CMake containg generators for various build systems. On eg. Unix Makefiles will be built, and on Windows MS VC++ project files, if you wish. You can get CMake at cmake.org. Current status: The build system is feature complete, so it (should) build every- thing as the default one does. This document explains briefly how to build with CMake on Linux via out- of-tree build: - Change to the alut dir. - Create a dir, eg "default", and change into it. - Now (eg.) run: cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:STRING="/usr" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="-march=athlon-xp -O2" make make install If you exported your CFLAGS, there is no need to specify them explicitly, as CMake will pick them up. - OpenAL should get installed as you got used to it. I really would like to get CMake building Alut on every supported platform. So please contact me if it doesn't build on yours. I'll try to fix this with your help. Some Tips: - You can use a console GUI named ccmake for configuring cmake. This also comes in handy, to find out about available options. You can also set options via command-line: ccmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:STRING="/usr" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="-march=athlon-xp -O2" sets the two variables defined on command line and then starts the GUI. Press 'c' the first time and every time you want to commit changes in the config. Finally press 'g' to run the generator. Btw, to set boolean vars from the command line, use -DVAR:BOOL=X, where X is eg. ON or OFF. - If you want more output at compile time, use make VERBOSE=1 - If you want to install to a different directory (using same prefix), use make install DESTDIR=/foo/bar - CMake doesn't has a distclean target by default, so you better really do an out-of-tree build, then you can simply delete its content when you want a distclean... Furthermore it is easier to have different builds using different parameters via out-of-tree builds. - If you are interested in variables to set, take a look into CMakeCache.txt after having run the configuring stage. - If you update your source tree via cvs and want to rebuild an pre- viously built lib without cleaning, you better at least clear the CMake cache (remove CMakeCache.txt) otherwise a modified CMake project file could result to unwanted behaviour. Support ======= Please don't email me the authors directly, sign up to the OpenAL user's mailing list. Instructions can be found here: http://www.openal.org/ Licensing ========= These libraries are offered as OpenSource freeware under the provisions of the GNU Library Public License (LGPL). Those terms and conditions are detailed in the file 'COPYING' in this directory. Portability and Dependencies ============================ This library is designed to be easily portable (and more importantly so that programs using it can be UTTERLY portable). Compiling/Linking with ALUT =========================== In your source code, simply add: #include <AL/alut.h> On *nix-alikes, use openal-config --cflags openal-config --libs to find out the compiler and linker flags needed for OpenAL, the flags needed for ALUT itself depend on the --prefix option given to configure. In a VisualStudio project, add the path to the ALUT header, import library and DLL to your project settings as usual. Directories =========== Within this distribution, you will find the following directories: admin -- Administrative files needed for building ALUT doc -- The ALUT documentation examples -- For application authors, here is a small collection of example programs that you can use to get you started include -- The ALUT header src -- The source code for the ALUT library itself test_suite -- A small suite of test programs to check that ALUT is installed and working correctly

#MiInspiration – Going places: Lephalale's Tshidiso Maduwa takes on New York
When growing up in Lephalale, Tshidiso Maduwa could never quite explain why he filled his school books with pictures of houses and buildings. Today, it all makes sense as this 26 year old Chartered Accountant (CA[SA]) conquers the real estate market of New York. As a young boy living in rural Limpopo with his grandmother, Maduwa spent his time staring at tree tops rather than towering skyscrapers, yet he set his sights on the top floor of these high-rise buildings when he decided he was going to be the first person in his family to get a formal degree. 'My gran did a great job at raising me,' says Maduwa. 'But it was only when I moved to Pretoria for high school that my dream of going to varsity really started to seem possible.' It was also here, Maduwa says, that he 'slowly fell in love with accounting thanks to an incredible teacher who made being in her class fun. The more I began investigating the career options this subject could lead me to, the more I knew I wanted to become a CA(SA).' Having matriculated with good marks, Maduwa says he could not wait to start his studies at the University of Pretoria. Yet as he struggled to make ends meet during his first year, Maduwa worried that his dream would slip away from him. Nevertheless, this determined young man was not about to let go of his CA(SA) aspirations without a fight. So, he investigated solutions that would help him stay at university. He found the answer, in the Thuthuka Bursary Fund (TBF) – an innovative programme of the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) that is transforming the accounting profession by opening the doors of opportunity to deserving black and coloured students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Maduwa describes the TBF as a blessing. 'Thanks to Thuthuka, I never had to stress about food, accommodation or books. It was all taken care of. This removed a lot of the pressure on me. In fact, all I had to do to show my appreciation was to do well.' This is exactly what he did. After completing his tertiary studies first at the University of Pretoria and then the University of Johannesburg, Maduwa was placed at Grant Thornton for his three-year training contract. It was here that he really started to thrive. Despite the repetitive work that comes with articles, Maduwa says the experience helped him gain the invaluable experience that eventually led him to the opportunity to go on secondment in Kansas City in America. Those first four months of 2015 were a whirlwind of experiences. 'From learning about different cultures to working long hours, I really learnt a lot about myself as I discovered how to adapt constantly. It also cemented in me the belief that I was going to make my way back to the USA at some point in my career,' Maduwa remembers. Yet even then, he never dreamed he would be going back there quite as quickly as he did or that he would find himself working as the Senior Audit Associate of a diversified real estate department of PricewaterhouseCoopers in New York City, serving Square Mile Capital Management LLC as his main client. Maduwa is thriving in the position he took on in October last year. Every day, he helps his clients to prepare financial records and reports for a variety of real estate transactions, including property sales, rentals, leases and mezzanine loan originations. The total fair value of the funds under management is around $453 million. However, Maduwa is not content with merely helping his clients run the streets of New York: he runs them in a different way too. A keen long-distance athlete and fitness fanatic, Maduwa can be spotted tearing up the tar these days as he prepares for the 2016 New York Marathon. When asked whether he is worried if he will finish or not, he laughs confidently. And who could blame him? After completing the seven-year qualifying marathon to become as a CA(SA), a 42.2km race should be easy. by SAICA

A staple I do in all interviews in order to start things off is to ask that you elaborate a bit about your game that people might not know?
Tom: Fable Fortune is a card game, launching into Early Access and Game Preview on July 25th.
We originally started building the game with Lionhead Studios and since its closure, we've been working to complete the game with Flaming Fowl Studios, a team of Ex-Lionhead staff members.
One of the unique things about our game is that we've built it from the ground-up around Co-op play, so two players can team up to take down Epic Raid Bosses (or learn how to play).
Working with the Fable brand, what sort of key elements from the series were important to carry over to Fortune?
Tom: Fable is a game about choice and consequence and we've built Fable Fortune from the ground-up around this core principle.
At the start of each match, players must choose a Quest. Completing Quests gives players significant rewards, which can turn the tide of a battle. On completing a Quest, players must choose which force to align their hero with – good or evil?
Turning to good or evil changes the abilities your hero can use, but also the cards in your hand. In game terms, this means you can react to what you see your opponent doing in real-time.
Outside of this core philosophy, there are many things we've carried through from the Fable series such as its characters, style and sense of humour. We're huge fans of the Fable games, so it's been exciting to dive in and create a new game within the universe!
Comedy has played a big role in the games, do you feel that aspect of the series is being well represented within the cards?
Tom: We definitely don't take ourselves too seriously. We have a range of cards in the game, from Giant Chickens and Fluffy Cats through to Hobbes and Peasants. A few examples include:
• Feral Squirrel: Gain +1 Strength after using your Hero Power
• Hearty Breakfast: Give a unit in play and a unit in your hand +2/+2
• Master of Bacon: After you summon a Peasant, gain +1 Strength
• Guard Pig: Give another friendly unit Deflect
• Big Pig: Transforms based on Hero Alignment
o [Good] Battle Swine: Summon a 3/3 Guard Pig
o [Evil] Boardoazer: Rush, Adjacent Units have +1 Strength
• Giant Egg: At the start of your turn, gain an 8/8 Chicken with Rush
Our Hero archetypes also play on these principles;for example, our 'Knight' archetype Marshall is a farmer riding a pig. The humour in Fable is one of the things we've always loved about the series, and something we have aimed to carry through into Fable Fortune.
Could you briefly describe the heroes aspect of the game and how they affect gameplay?
Tom: Players can build decks of cards around different heroes; each hero has access to unique cards and a special hero power, which changes based on whether players choose to go good or evil.
Some heroes will be recognizable to card game players, such as Crimson, our Shapeshifter, who focuses on aggressive board control with her spells, units and hero power.
We've been more experimental with other classes, such as Barter, our Merchant, who has a range of different cards which allow him to make short-term investments to benefit in later turns, and cards which scale in power based on how much he decides to invest in them.
At present, we have six heroes in the game and we're working on two more unique heroes which we'll be releasing into the game over time.
Being a card game, what are the core packs that will be available when players can access the game and are there plans to expand on these afterward?
Tom: We have one set of 'Core' card packs in the game which contain all the game cards.
Players will start the game with 10 Packs (or 30 including the Founders Pack) and can earn 50 more Packs through levelling their Heroes, with more available on a regular basis through participating in Events, PvP and Co-op battles.
We're planning to release new cards on a regular basis within the 'Core' card packs.
We don't have any major expansions planned in the short term as all our focus is going into improving, expanding and optimizing our core game, but we'll be turning our attention to this in the future and will likely look to release larger expansion sets.
Since there are a number of cards available, what are some of your favorites and could you tease some that might be familiar to fans?
Tom: A few familiar faces include….
• Nostro: After you play a unit, destroy it, then re-summon it
• Shroud: Deal 1 damage to an enemy unit. If you control no units, destroy it
• Jack of Blades: Last Laugh, Transform another friendly unit into a Jack of Blades
• Reaver: Draw a card, it costs 0
• The Nightcrawler: At the end of EACH turn, fill your board with 1/1 Shadows
What sort of modes will be available within the game and could you briefly describe what you feel are the key ones?
Tom: There are several core modes of play:
• PvP: Players can battle 1v1 against other players. Leagues in Fable Fortune last 1 month, with a variety of rewards for both participation and ranking. At the start of each month we'll change the Arena, Quests and Quest rewards – meaning the meta-game is always fresh and interesting.
• Co-op: Two players team up to take down Raid bosses of varying difficulties to earn special rewards. In Co-op mode, each player takes turns to make their move against the boss; the twist being they can control each other's units in addition to their own.
• Special Events: Players take part in an Event with unique (often strange) rules. These are designed to encourage creativity and experimentation with deck building.
Over time, we hope to add new modes of play to the game
What sort of platforms/marketplaces will Fable Fortune be available on?
Tom: We'll be launching into Game Preview on Xbox and Windows 10 and Early Access on Steam.
Lastly I would like to leave a spot for you to say something or go over anything I might have missed during the interview? Maybe about how chickens impact players?
Tom: There's always room for a chicken!
One thing we're keen to highlight is that we're launching into Game Preview / Early Access because we want feedback and input from the community to make this the best card game possible.
We're a small team, and we've got some big competition, but we believe that by working closely with the community we can shape something special.

Website/Site web: http://www.sace.ab.ca Updated/mise-à-jour: 17-08-05 About SACE The Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton (SACE) exists: to empower individuals affected by sexual abuse and assault, and to empower communities to take action against sexual violence. In 1975, a national report identified Edmonton as the "Sexual Assault Capital of Canada." This prompted Edmontonians concerned about the sexual violence in our community and the lack of services available to survivors of this violence to come together. In 1976, when the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton first opened, a part-time coordinator and a number of dedicated volunteers provided a crisis line. From there we have continued to grow. The Sexual Assault Centre provides the following free services: 1) public education; 2) 24-hour crisis line; 3) crisis intervention; 4) short-term and group counselling; and 5) diversity outreach program. All services of the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton are provided within our belief structure. If you are considering becoming a volunteer please see our volunteering section. To learn more about whats going on at SACE see our events section, and be sure to take a look at our Annual General Meeting Report.

Octavia Butler used to say she remembers exactly when she decided to become a science fiction writer. She was 9 years old and saw a 1954 B-movie called Devil Girl from Mars, and two things struck her. First: "Geez, I can write a better story than that!" And second: "Somebody got paid for writing that story!" If they could, she decided, then she could, too.
Eventually she did exactly that. Octavia Estelle Butler became one of the world's premier science fiction writers, the first black female science fiction writer to reach national prominence, and the only writer in her genre to receive a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship. ("You have a Genius Grant," Charlie Rose said in a 2000 interview. "They don't call it that," she corrected him firmly; "somebody probably made that up.") When she died in 2006, she was lauded as a pioneer, an icon and one of America's best writers.
Tracing a writer's evolution
"Octavia Butler: Telling My Stories" is an exhibit currently at the Huntington Library, in the Pasadena suburb of San Marino, Calif. Curator Natalie Russell went through some "8,000 manuscripts, letters and photographs, and an additional 80 boxes of ephemera" to create an exhibition that shows, in chronological order, how Butler's career was born and evolved, and what influenced her.
Large glass cases hold early notebooks and drawings, report cards from her days at Pasadena City College and notes to herself about character development. Early copies of her first editions are here. So is the one-page letter from the MacArthur Foundation notifying Butler she'd been chosen as a fellow in 1995.
The walls are hung with blowups of Butler's childhood drawings and the affirmations she repeated to herself: "I am a best-selling writer, I write best-selling books," one says. "Every day in every way I am researching and writing my award-winning books and short stories."
That encouragement was probably essential: Butler faced a lot of challenges. She grew up black and poor in Pasadena, Calif., when legal segregation was dead, but de facto segregation was very much alive. She was also shy, unusually tall for her age, and not particularly social. "I'm an only child," Butler told Sci Fi Buzz. "I had no idea how to get along with other children. And also, I was a strange kid who learned to stay by herself and make things up."
She often made them up while sitting on the porch at her grandmother's chicken farm, in the High Desert town of Victorville, Calif., where she dreamed about animals. The drawings of horses that illustrated one of her early stories are on the walls at the Huntington. After Devil Girl, though, Butler switched to science fiction, determined to make that her career.
Creating her own path
That was astonishing, because the world was not full of well-paid science fiction writers, and with very few exceptions, all of those were male and white. No one like Butler existed in the genre. And that didn't seem to hold Butler back one bit. "I don't recall every having wanted desperately to be a black woman fiction writer," she told Rose. "I wanted to be a writer."
She went to Pasadena public schools, then got an associate's degree from Pasadena City College. And she kept writing. She had short stories published here and there while she held what she called "lots of horrible little jobs" —warehouse worker, dishwasher, potato chip inspector. ("The one good thing about all those jobs was they left her mind free to think about her characters," Russell says.) Butler's first book, Patternmaster, was published in 1976 and caught people's attention. It became part of The Patternist series; the stories revolved around a group of elite beings with telepathic superpowers.
Kindred, one of the books most famously associated with Butler, was published in 1979. It's the story of Dana, a contemporary black writer hurtled backward in time to antebellum Maryland. A spirited feminist, Dana must learn to conform herself to the times so she can survive; she needs to find her slave-holding ancestor to ensure her own existence more than 150 years in the future.
Butler researched the book arduously. "She needed to go to Maryland, to see what the geography was like, find out what a working slave plantation was like," Russell says. "How far away were the towns? If you were trying to run away, where would you go?"
Those lifelike details made Kindred a classic. It's taught in high schools and colleges annually, and it's a book club favorite. Butler often said she was inspired to write it when she heard young black people minimize the severity of slavery, and strongly assert what they would or would not have tolerated if they were enslaved. She wanted them to not only know the facts of slavery, but how slavery felt. She wanted to make those militant young people see that even surviving such an institution made their ancestors heroic.
Making room for others
Butler wrote more than a dozen books in all. In addition to the MacArthur Fellowship, she was awarded science fiction's equivalent of the National Book Award — two each of the coveted Nebula and Hugo awards. She became one of science fiction's best-known female writers, considered a colleague of Ursula Le Guin and Madeleine L'Engle. And while Butler was the most prominent black female writer in the genre, she was determined that she not remain the only one.
Science fiction writer Tananarive Due recalls meeting Butler in 1997 as a new writer. "You could fit all the black science fiction and fantasy writers on one stage, and that's not the case anymore — the field has exploded so much!"
Steven Barnes, Due's husband, is a science fiction writer, too, and was a friend of Butler's for two decades. "She opened a door and walked all the way through it," he says, "and therefore created a path for others."
Butler enjoyed having the company. A photo early in the exhibit shows her at Clarion, the science fiction/fantasy writers' workshop, in 1970. It's a group picture with her mentor, Harlan Ellison, at the center surrounded by mostly young, mostly male, almost all-white faces. Almost. There at the edge is a very serious Octavia Butler, almost fading into the background. Two decades later, she is with a group of black women at a writer's conference sponsored by Essence magazine. She's smiling broadly and glowing, clearly enjoying the reverence paid her by other young writers.
Octavia Butler's death in February 2006 took everyone by surprise. She'd been living in Seattle, where she'd moved in 1999, and died after a fall that some think was possibly the result of a stroke. (She'd been having health problems for several years.) She was 58. Obituaries in important papers across the country emphasized her pioneering role in creating a space for people of color in science fiction.
In several interviews Butler said she wrote because she had two choices: write, or die. "If I hadn't written, I probably would have done something stupid that would have led to my death," she said cheerfully. We're fortunate that she chose to write.
And we're going to spend the next few minutes hearing about an African-American woman who would not let cultural norms stand in the way of her imagination. Her name is Octavia Butler, and she was a literary giant in the world of science fiction, a genre that was and is dominated by white men. The Huntington Library just north of LA is honoring Butler and her work in an exhibition this summer. Here's Karen Grigsby Bates from our Code Switch team.
KAREN GRIGSBY BATES, BYLINE: Octavia Butler's vivid imagination was the product of a smart kid who spent a lot of time alone.
OCTAVIA BUTLER: I'm an only child, and I had no idea how to get along with other children. And also, I was a strange kid who'd learned to stay by herself and make things up.
BATES: That's Butler, who died in 2006, talking to "Sci-Fi Buzz." The strange kid grew up in her widowed mother's Pasadena home. Young Octavia spent her time reading and writing stories. The early ones were about horses, but when she was 9, Octavia Butler stumbled upon something that would change her life.
BUTLER: I was influenced to write science fiction two years after I began writing other things by a bad movie.
PATRICIA LAFFAN: (As Nyah) You poor lamented humans. Imagine you can destroy me with your old-fashioned toy.
BATES: That really bad 1954 sci-fi movie was "Devil Girl From Mars," she tells a UCLA audience. Here, Devil Girl strides into a pub and tells its armed patrons their puny little guns are no match for her.
LAFFAN: (As Nyah) I can control power beyond your wildest dreams.
BUTLER: My response to the movie was, geez, I can write a better story than that. Somebody got paid for writing that story.
BATES: By the time she was in high school, Butler became determined that she would be one of those paid somebodies, something that worried her conservative mother. The paying world was not full of science fiction writers, let alone ones that were women or Negro. So through community college and after, Butler held what she called lots of horrible little jobs to pay the bills. But she continued to focus her creative energy on science fiction.
It was a focus that would lead to a pile of novels and short stories, several awards and a coveted MacArthur Fellowship, the so-called genius grant. Visitors can see Butler's career unfolding in the Huntington Library's exhibit, "Octavia E. Butler: Telling My Stories."
NATALIE RUSSELL: So the exhibit is roughly chronological.
BATES: Exhibit curator Natalie Russell walks me into the large high-ceilinged room.
RUSSELL: There's about 100 items in the exhibit selected from the archive, which includes over 8,000 individually catalogued manuscripts, letters and photographs and an additional 80 boxes of ephemera.
BATES: Big glass cases display letters, notes, story outlines and drawings that show how Butler progressed as a writer. The walls are hung with blowups of childhood drawings and her handwritten instructions to herself for scene setting, character development and affirmations. Russell reads one.
RUSSELL: (Reading) I am a best-selling writer. I write best-selling books.
These are some of the kind of motivational notes that she would write to herself. (Reading) Every day in every way, I am researching and writing my award-winning, best-selling books and short stories.
BATES: Butler's high school portrait and a group photo of her at an early science fiction writers' workshop show a young woman who stares purposefully into the camera without a hint of a smile. It's the face of someone who has set herself a task. Natalie Russell says it took a good deal of persistence for Butler to create something for which there was no template.
RUSSELL: Butler said she wanted to be able to see herself in the stories that she loved. And she didn't, so she wrote herself in, and she became that role model that she didn't have.
BATES: Before Octavia Butler, science fiction's main characters tended to be white and male. When she began writing, she was told people would accept alien characters far more quickly than black ones. Her early book covers had white characters on them because publishers were not convinced white readers would buy them otherwise. In a 2000 interview, Butler tells Charlie Rose she was undeterred.
BUTLER: I don't recall ever having wanted desperately to be a black woman science fiction writer. I wanted to be a writer.
BATES: She wrote her first novels while working. The "Patternmaster" was published in 1976, the first of a series that elaborated on a story she began in childhood, a story of elite beings with telepathic superpowers who ruled a mute subclass. It was a study in power, morality and race. In 1979, she published "Kindred," one of the books that came to be most closely associated with her. Natalie Russell describes it.
RUSSELL: A tale about a contemporary African-American woman who travels back in time to antebellum Maryland to a slave plantation.
BATES: Butler's heroine, Dana, is a writer who has to save her slave-owning ancestor's life so she can exist more than 150 years later. Russell said Butler did a lot of research for this book.
RUSSELL: She needed to go to Maryland, see what the geography was like, find out what a working slave plantation was like. How far away were the towns? If you were trying to run away, where would you go? Was it forest? Was it brush?
BATES: Those details helped make "Kindred" a classic. Its theme of interdependence is taught in high schools and colleges annually and has been part of citywide reading programs. And it was almost named something else. Natalie Russell says Butler's publisher wanted to call the book "Dana." Butler hated that and sent several alternatives.
RUSSELL: And in the carbon copy of the letter she sent here on the case, December 26, 1978, she offers a few more suggestions, including "Birthright" and "Kindred."
BATES: "Kindred" paved the way for a number of books, like the "Parable Of The Sower," that looked at life in the dystopian near future. Octavia Butler may have begun as the only black woman science fiction writer, but she made sure she didn't remain the only one. Steven Barnes is a science fiction writer and was a longtime friend of Butler's. Over Skype, he says this.
STEVEN BARNES: She opened a door and walked all the way through it and created, therefore, a path for others.
BATES: His wife, sci-fi writer Tananarive Due, sees the result.
TANANARIVE DUE: When I met her in 1997 as a new writer, you could fit all of the black science fiction or fantasy writers on a stage. And that's not case anymore. The field has exploded so much.
BATES: Butler enjoyed her role in making that happen. Those sober photos from her earlier years were replaced by smiling, confident ones. In addition to her MacArthur Fellowship, Butler was awarded two of science fiction's highest honors, the Hugo and the Nebula, twice. The tall kid who'd shrunk from speaking now held forth with ease, charming her audiences and interviewers.
And then it all stopped. On February 24, 2006, Octavia Butler fell near her home, hit her head and died. She was 58 years old. Steven Barnes says her 30-year career will have a lasting effect on literature.
BARNES: You take black away from her name, and she is still considered to be one of the major science fiction influences, especially one of the major female influences. So her place is secure.
BATES: "Octavia E. Butler: Telling My Stories" will be at the Huntington Library through August 7. Karen Grigsby Bates, NPR News.

Ireland's bad bank will ask buyers to pay 80% of the house price and cough up the rest five years later if the property has maintained its value
Ireland's bad bank, NAMA, is to offer mortgages with protection against price falls later this year in a bid to stoke some life into the moribund property market in Ireland.
It will trial the controversial scheme with 750 properties but says that the special mortgages will only be offered for as long as is necessary.
NAMA's chief executive, Brendan McDonagh, revealed the details of the plan at a conference in Galway where he also said that one in five of all newly built properties in Ireland are now in its control.
The bad news from NAMA, however, is that it thinks the battered property market will fall even further and says house price stability will be linked to improved employment forecasts.
McDonagh told the Irish Council for Social Housing that the outlook for residential properties was "cloudier" than that for commercial real estate.
His remarks come days after new Central Statistics Office figures showed that the price of apartments in Dublin had sunk like a stone since the peak in 2006 – they are down almost 60%.
Across the country as a whole, prices of all types of residential property are down 43.4% with houses, on average down 41.7%.
So it will be interesting to see how these negative equity protection mortgages work.
Under the scheme buyers will pay 80% of the property price and pay the rest five years later if the property has maintained its value. If the price goes down the buyer doesn't have to cough up.
Bloxham Stockbrokers in Dublin questions whether this is the right way to kick start the market.
"Given labour market weakness, we still think house prices have some way to fall yet," it says in a note to investors.

The challenge
The Articulate e-Learning Heroes challenge of the week #70 was to design an interactive graphic, demo or activity that features a Valentine's Day theme. Suggested interactions included "History of Valentine's Day","Valentine's Day Around the World", "Top 10 Things to do on Valentine's Day" "St Valentine's: Facts vs Legends", "Interactive Valentine's Day Cards" and
Valentine's Day Recipes".
The process
I initially sought inspiration for this project by searching for engaging Valentine's images.
My design was developed in Articulate Storyline 2 and started with the background image with the tree in the shape of a heart. I still wanted to create an interactive Valentine's Day card, but wanted to use this background image, so came up with the idea of placing the envelope on this background to start the interactivity. To maintain consistency, I used part of the background image in the next screen as a "carpet of leaves" to lay the envelope and card on while it's being opened.
I wasn't going to put any instructions or indications on the screen apart from the spinning envelope, but right at the end of the development I changed my mind and added the arrows.
I created the envelope from scratch, based on this image that I came across.
I started with basic shapes in PowerPoint, then added a paper texture file to fill the shapes and started working with shadows. The shadows on the inside of the open envelope are "Inside centre" shadows which gives the envelope the appearance of being open. I then separated out the different parts so I could insert the card image inside the envelope.
The result
I found the colours in the background image very visually appealing so based my design around these colours. I also liked the sense of peace and happiness this image conveyed.
Overall I think the interactive elements of finding an envelope, opening it, taking out the card and opening the card, although quite basic in design, are effective and the design is short, but engaging.
Happy Valentine's Day!

State of Origin: The Beast of Belmore David Klemmer is heading for the Maroons
1. Blue battering ram
So David Klemmer accidentally knocked out a NSW staffer who was holding a tackling bag? If he is on the field for a kick-off on Wednesday, Maroons players are best advised to stay out of his sight. The Beast Of Belmore has revealed he spots an opposition player from 30 or more metres away and tries to cause as much damage as possible by running over the top of him.
"Whoever I see, I try to spot someone and run as hard as I can at them," Klemmer told Triple M after the Belmore triumph last Monday. "I've probably got someone lined up to run at before the kick-off. As soon as I get it, I'm going straight for him."
2. Doing the right thing
The perfect silence observed for Phil Walsh before the weekend's three NRL games made your correspondent proud to be involved in rugby league. Now, if I add a 'but' to that, someone is bound to take it the wrong way.
I'll just say this: Danny Jones, James Ackerman and Zane Purcell died playing rugby league this year. Ackerman was honoured at two NRL games. I would like to have seen the whole competition observe a minute's silence for each of them.
Sometimes NRL clubs seem culturally isolated from the rest of rugby league – particularly overseas – while identifying themselves more closely with big-time leagues in other sports. I fully support the solidarity shown regarding Walsh but maybe we can honour the three we lost on grand final day.
3. Rise for Alex
I have a small inkling of how Cameron Smith feels after Sunday night's 60 Minutes program. I covered the game in which Alex McKinnon was injured, for radio and for the newspaper. Like Cameron, I misread the situation completely. When people told me Alex's treatment was "just precautionary" and that he reacted the way he did because he "got a fright", I foolishly believed them.
Fox's Andy Raymond showed himself to be, frankly, a better journalist in the way he reported on injury. Like Smith, I focused too much on the short term – in my case, trying to get a quote in the paper. I did that – but the quote was another well-intentioned smother. I am sorry for my performance and my decisions that night, which do not stand up to scrutiny. I wish I could change them.
4. It's late o'clock
Teams are fined if they are late onto the field for a match but what if the game starts late? Who gets fined then? This was the situation highlighted by St George Illawarra officials when they were told by the TV floor manager to stay in the sheds an extra five minutes at WIN Stadium on Saturday night.
No-one could argue with the point made, either. Still at Wollongong, while the commentators sought to honour the days of the Steelers, it was a boy from the local suburb of Windang – North Queensland centre Kane Linnett – who was the hero for the visitors. Asked if Linnett was feeling the cold as much as his tropical teammates, NQ captain Gavin Cooper said: "He can wear a singlet because he's got that much hair over his back."
5. As an example ...
I am indebted to reader "Pete" for this example of why the idea of restricting representative suspensions to representative games is an intellectual miscarriage. "So Justin Hodges could go out on Wednesday night in his last Origin game before retirement and cause absolute mayhem and cop six million demerit points and be suspended for next year's Origin series that he won't be playing in anyway yet not miss any club games?"
A million demerit points? I told you a trillion times not to exaggerate, Pete. Expect the Michael Ennis loophole to be closed as soon as 9am Thursday. Suspensions will expire at the start of the following round.
6. Mate against State
Origin shmorigin. The real rugby league grudge match was played over the weekend – and get ready with your "red zone" puns. Russia defeated the Ukraine 34-20 in neutral Belgrade to move a step closer to qualifying for the 2017 World Cup. "Russia was a really tough opponent," said Ukraine coach Gennardy Veprik, no doubt echoing the thoughts of millions of his countrymen.
Present at the game was RLIF chairman Nigel Wood, who will take part in something called the Founders Walk from July 19 to 24. Participants will walk 193km from St Helens to Hull, taking in the grounds of all the original Northern Union clubs from 1895.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak says beware cloud computing
Brian LaSorsa
Aug 7, 2012 in
Steve Wozniak expressed grave concerns about the future of cloud computing Sunday in light of a former Gizmodo employee's account being hacked.
Wozniak, 61, co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs in the 1970s. He has since joined the C.A.-based company Fusion-io and frequently lectures at tech events. The engineer recently attended a play in Washington, D.C. about Apple's Chinese factories, and he came onstage for a post-performance discussion. Eventually the topic changed from worker conditions to cloud computing, at which point Wozniak confessed to the audience that he worries about the insecurity of Apple's famed iCloud.
"I really worry about everything going to the cloud,"
Wozniak. "I think it's going to be horrendous. I think there are going to be a lot of horrible problems in the next five years."
iCloud essentially acts a remote server responsible for synching computing devices. In other words, if a user sends information to one cloud-connected device, the cloud will intercept the information and send it to every other device connected to the cloud space.
"With the cloud, you don't own anything. You already signed it away," said Wozniak. "The more we transfer everything onto the web, onto the cloud, the less we're going to have control over it."
The servers safekeeping user information are encrypted by Apple, but critics argue that hackers can still access the servers through social engineering, the act of manipulating people — in this case, Apple employees — into divulging confidential information to unauthorized persons. Once a hacker gains access to the cloud, he gains access to all of the users' cloud-connected devices.
Such is how Mat Honan, senior writer at Wired, had his digital life destroyed by hackers earlier this week.
The former Gizmodo contributor detailed his experience being hacked and conveyed a deep regret for having so many accounts "daisy-chained together." The hackers called AppleCare pretending to be Honan, used easily-available information as a method of identity confirmation, and, once given a temporary password, gained access to a wide array of Honan's accounts.
"Apple tech support gave the hackers access to my iCloud account,"
Honan. "Password-based security mechanisms — which can be cracked, reset, and socially engineered — no longer suffice in the era of cloud computing."
From that single temporary password provided by the AppleCare employee, the hackers were able to remotely wipe Honan's iPhone, iPad, and MacBook. They reset his Twitter password and used that account to gain control of Gizmodo's own Twitter account at about the same time. Other factors were at play here, too, but it certainly emphasizes the importance of account diversification in Web security, something Apple's iCloud by no means guarantees.
"Don't rely on the cloud,"
Gizmodo editor Eric Limer after the website's own Twitter breach. "It's great to have online storage you can get at from all your various devices, but when the shit goes down and you're under attack, nothing is more secure than a hard drive you can unplug and hide in a shoebox in the closet. It's not the most convenient way to back up, but you'll thank yourself for it."
Apple later
its mistake, adding, "We are reviewing all of our processes for resetting account passwords to ensure our customers' data is protected."
Criminal interception of private information is one problem. Governmental interception is another thing entirely. The advent of SOPA, CISPA, ACTA, and other Web-related pieces of legislation have Internet users on high alert. Nadim Kobeissi, creator of an open source encryption chat program called
, and other innovators were detained in the past by U.S. authorities when trying to cross the border. A larger attack against Internet freedom seems only inevitable.
For now at least, two U.S. congressmen have
legislation that will required government officials to obtain a probable-cause warrant before reaching into citizens' cloud data.
: Apple has now confirmed to
that it has stopped all over-the-phone password reset requests until the system's security features are reassessed

You asked. We listened! We have received several inquiries of late asking if we could publish a map or list showcasing the available lots in The Estates at Forest Lakes. We created a map that will make it easy to determine which lots are available, those that are builder-owned and available to build, and of course lots that are SOLD! As of the date of this post, The Estates at Forest Lakes has 18 SOLD lots, 8 Builder-owned available lots, and only 6 lots that are available to builders and individuals. The new lot activity map will be updated as lots are purchased. You can find the most current map by clicking here for F1 - The Estates at Forest Lakes.

Cows Around the World
COW Library : Letters to the COW Team : Cowdog : Cows Around the World
George Bazhenov
Ekaterinaburg, Russia
iPro, a distributor of Apple, opened a training center in Moscow this spring with outlets in St. Petersburg and Ekaterinaburg, my home city. I recently gave two FCP courses - a five-day course in a local university and a three-day course in the iPro training facility here.
The three-day FCP course is madness, although my students absorbed quite a lot, and even passed the certification exam. They were a sight to look at after 90 minutes of questioning in English! Microsoft is more generous with non-native English speakers and doubles the certification exam time for them, I am told.
I am certified to teach FCP and Motion but editors and their employers are not prepared to buy training right now. Also, custom duties and fees on hi-tech goods in Russia are so high that customers in Far Eastern cities, such as Khabarovsk and Vladivostok, sometimes prefer to go to South Korea, Japan and China and shop for Apple products there.
Meanwhile, I do sales presentations with Apple Final Cut Studio, Aperture, and using Wacom tablets. I even went abroad with Final Cut Studio and Aperture recently - to Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. But my most recent destination was Khabarovsk (seen here, right), with Tomsk and Magnitogorsk before it.
On a more creative front, I am finishing a DVD project with footage from a literary festival that took place in Ekaterinaburg. Young writers and poets competed among themselves and took part in writing workshops for three days. Six miniDV cassettes were used to tape some of these activities. My task was to edit the material and output a 90-second ad, a seven-minute narrative and a 90-minute documentary.
The project is almost finished, and this week I plan to burn 80 DVDs that will eventually be mailed to every participant. The most distant of them lives near Lake Baikal, 2800 kilometers east (approximately 1400 miles) in Siberia, near the Mongolian border - but I have made it very clear to the client that mailing will not be part of my job.
And of course, our wedding season has just ended. Due to climatic conditions, it is short and intense. Every bride wants to get wed and not wet (and definitely not frozen on the way to the limo). DV shooters are in high demand, and I join their ranks with my Canon XM2.
Guess what I use as a backup and B-roll cam? A Flip! It is excellent in semi-dark conditions and beats the XM2 when I shoot dances. Brides don't like dancing before on-camera lights.
With all that, my reading focus has shifted from Final Cut Studio to Business & Marketing and Event Videography at the COW.
Subrato Sangupta
Mumbai, India
I have had over 18 years of experience in cinematography, coupled with nearly 12 years as a Director of Photography in Bollywood. To me, the best cinematography is the kind that takes you into another world, and makes you quickly forget that you are watching a movie. Seamless and realistic.
(That's me, at right.)
My favorite lighting style is to shoot with naturallooking, motivated light sources. I enjoy working with large soft sources and then "paint" in the shadow areas. I work very hard to make certain that whatever story is being told is enhanced and communicated with the light and images.
Most recently, I have finished the research for a documentary on child prostitution and sex tourism in Goa that I hope to produce. There are few, if any, local prostitutes in the red light districts of India's major cities. The majority have either migrated or been trafficked to those cities.
The daughters of migrant prostitute women are generally expected to enter into prostitution as soon as they reach puberty - and even before that, they are expected to work all night performing in bars. Prostitution involving boys tends to be less formal, but is still quite common.
Locations like Goa can combine large numbers of vulnerable children, and an under-resourced police force inexperienced in dealing with child sexual offenses, plus a high degree of respect for western men, to create an environment safe only for pedophiles. It is a very sensitive subject, and I am now looking for international funding for it.
I have my own production company in Mumbai, shooting HD with the Panasonic HVX202. I have a team that works with me, as well as equipment for multicam shoots (events).
Should a foreign producer choose to work in India, I offer location scouting and help with local financing along with my DP services. After producers apply for permits at the Indian Embassy in their home nation, I can help them obtain the approvals in India. If the application is for a documentary or a television show, we obtain permission from the Ministry of External Affairs. If it's a feature film, then from Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. There is a permit fee of $200 for feature films, but none for documentaries. After clearance, we then apply for actual location permits, from agencies which vary depending on location.
In case of aerial photography in India, one needs to apply at least three months before the shoot, as this is the most time-consuming permit process. If the DP is a foreign national, permission will take 90 days, but if the DP is Indian it will take only 50 days. There are two ministries involved in this permission: the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Ministry of Defense.
I have been able to do all of this for many productions from all over the world. Some of my most recent projects include: working as a fixer for a travel documentary and cookery series, "Rhodes Across India" for UKTV Food; DP and Line Producer on a documentary about Kalaripayattu (a martial art originating in the Indian state of Keral) by Dutch filmmaker Herma De Walle; and second unit camera for an episode of the documentary series "Shipbreakers" for National Geographic.
I am truly blessed to find that I can make a living doing what I love to do.
Jan-Willem Breure
The Hague, Netherlands
Even though I have a Dutch name, I am of Rwandan origin, and grew up in Kenya and Namibia. Since I was young I have always been looking for new ways to communicate. I have basically done everything one can do with his hands: creating drawings, paintings and animation.
I also have a passion for music. I am currently signed by two record labels, River Praise Records and Bigbadboy Records. I create my own beats and also write lyrics both for myself and for other artists. (I sometimes rap in Dutch, but prefer to use English.) I've done a lot with hip-hop: performances including at the Xnoizz Flevo Festival in August, video clips and television interviews.
My other interests include video production and editing, of course. I use the Panasonic HVX200 to shoot both DV and HD, and work in a combination of AE, Premiere, FCP, Photoshop and Cinema 4D.
I recently finished a video for myself as a rapper, Mission JW. It's not a clip with just "yo, yo, yo" and "bling, bling, bling." The mixes are deep, and a serious message that is also treated with humor. The central theme is the prejudices against immigrants, even those who were born and grew up here.
At present I am working on a video for the artist "Levi." It is going to be an abstract clip, combining 2D and 3D with special effects to create a fantasy world.
After that, I will work on a commercial for SME TV, the first afro-oriented broadcasting network in the Netherlands. The commercial will be flashy, yet still displaying African roots. I will create the video and the music that goes along with it as well.
I will also be traveling to Poland, where I will shoot video clips with the R&B/hip-hop group "Sweetsani." The group consists of two singers and one rapper (me). We're planning to release our album next year in Europe.
I'm working on many other things: writing and producing, designing a clothing line, and drawing and painting as much as I can.
I want to be challenged. For that reason, I constantly push back my boundary lines. Because in the end, there is no boundary line to art.
Pete O'Connell
Montreal, Canada
When I finished doing compositing for "Mr. Magorium's Magic Emporium" at BarXeven last winter, I did VFX and graphics for an independent documentary about oil, and then went to Argentina with my wife. She's from there, and we were able to take some extra time on this trip before I started in May with Mr. X. They're a major Canadian effects house, with around 70 or 80 people in Toronto, and 10 or 15 here in Montreal.
My first job with Mr. X was on "Death Race," starring Jason Statham, which came out late this summer. There are a whole bunch of green screen shots with him racing in the car, looking intense, looking over his shoulder at other racers and so on. It switches from one shot to the other, between the green screen shots and some live shots taken around some abandoned buildings in Montreal.
This was also my first compositing job using Nuke. It's a node-based compositor originally developed for in-house use by Digital Domain, and won a Technical Achievement Academy Award in 2001. It's developed now by The Foundry. Mr. X and Weta Digital are among the high profile houses using it.
I'm using it on a movie called "Whiteout" at the moment. It's a murder mystery set in Antarctica starring Kate Beckinsale that will be released in April 2009. We're adding snow and doing some 3D work.
One of the big deals with Nuke is that you can hand-create EXRs with ease. EXR is a format designed by Industrial Light and Magic and used on all the films they work on. It's a super-high resolution format, with a dynamic range of over 30 stops. It also stores all kinds of information in a single file - a shadow pass, specular pass, ambient occlusions, and so on. You can mix and match them, and tweak them to get the shading just right to integrate with the real world.
EXRs are also efficient. Instead of having a huge tree with two or three hundred nodes, I can have just one node with all the separate passes still accessible in it. Because all of this information is collapsed into one file, you have to keep a bit more of it in your head.
You also have to be bit of a mathematician, think about the numbers a lot. For example, there are 1024 possible channels in an EXR - RGBA are just the first four. And each of them is displayed as a black and white image. So you have to get used to thinking about making adjustments to your scene by adjusting those black and white images to affect, say, how much color correction you're applying to a scene, or how transparent layers are relative to each other.
Which is the essence of compositing in a lot of ways. Transparency, right? Visualizing transparency as a black and white issue.

| 10.1°C Belfast
Who is wealthier... Rory McIlroy or Liam Neeson? You'd be forgiven for thinking that the 26-year-old golf superstar from Holywood - who has a $100m deal with Nike among his many endorsements - would have amassed more riches than the veteran Ballymena-born actor, but you'd be wrong.
According to this year's Sunday Independent Rich List, the 63-year-old's bank balance is actually £14m healthier than his younger compatriot's.
Oscar-nominated for his role in Schindler's List, Neeson is currently ranked at 117 out of the 300 wealthiest people in Ireland, with assets oflAD £91m - and that also makes him Northern Ireland's 17th richest person.
The Neeson coffers are suddenly bursting with money following his successful turn as a butt-kicking father and spy in the Taken trilogy.
The first movie earned him a modest $1m, but the final part of the trilogy netted him $30m - and suddenly Neeson was A-list and one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood.
Although McIlroy struggled with injury and a loss of form last year, the four-times Major winner, who is listed at number 134, is worth £77m, with Forbes estimating that he is the 12th highest-paid athlete in the world.
He drives a £295,000 Lamborghini Aventador and has a £7.7m home in Florida's Palm Beach, as well as property in Dubai and Northern Ireland. The curly-haired golf sensation is Northern Ireland's 19th wealthiest individual.
In position 35, actress and producer Downey (55) from Londonderry is our second wealthiest person and Northern Ireland's richest woman.
The Touched By An Angel star Roma is worth £303m and, along with husband Mark Burnett, has produced shows such as The Apprentice, The Voice and Survivor.
F1 hero and property magnate Eddie Irvine is ranked at 182 and, with a personal fortune of £60m, he's the 25th richest from here. The 50-year-old from Conlig, Co Down, made about £35m during his racing career and has spent lots of it on an island, the Anaconda super-yacht, a private jet and partying.
Legendary east Belfast singer - and recently knighted - Van Morrison is ranked at 234 out of 300 and said to be worth around £49m.
The 70-year-old has sold more than 48 million albums during a career spanning more than five decades and the royalties keep coming in, making him Northern Ireland's 30th richest.
Down hotelier Billy Hastings (87), who owns the Europa, is our 34th wealthiest person, worth £38m and ranked at 263 on the Rich List.
In at 290, Hollywood star Michael Fassbender, whose mother is from Larne, is worth £27m.
The family of the late Lord Ballyedmond are still the richest people in Northern Ireland, with assets worth £322m.
Edward Haughey, the self-made multi-millionaire, died in 2014 when the helicopter he was flying in crashed on his Norfolk estate.
Lady Mary, his widow, and sons James and Eddie jnr, now own the Norbrook Laboratories business.
In addition to the successful animal pharmaceutical company, the Haugheys own castles in Rostrevor and Cumbria, as well as a house in London's ultra-exclusive Belgrave Square, which is worth £39m.
The amount of wealth required to be included on the rich list, at £23m, has almost doubled in the past five years.
The list compiles the top 300 wealthiest people and families who are based or born in Ireland, with 36 of the entries hailing from Northern Ireland this year.

Care of upper limb joints
Shoulder joints
The shoulder joint is described as a ball and socket joint. It consists of 3 bones; the clavicle, scapula and humerus. It has a large range of movement, most commonly a rotating action we use during our daily activities.
Some people are able to carry out their daily tasks such as transfer from bed to wheelchair and wheelchair to car over many years without experiencing painful shoulders. In reality, the shoulder joint was not designed to withstand the demands of constant transfers and long term forward propelling of a manual wheelchair. In addition, playing highly competitive wheelchair sports, which is now becoming popular, puts extra strain on the upper limb joints.
With such activities, carried out over many years, the joint's natural protective mechanisms, cartilage and fluid, wear away and this results in varying degrees of pain, restrictive movement, and often, in later life arthrosis develops.
With advancing years, the length of time of SCI and reduction in overall body strength (muscle mass), degeneration of the shoulder joints can reduce your ability to transfer and eventually compromise your level of independence.
What may make a difference?
How can I adapt my daily actions to help preserve my shoulder joints?
Aids and equipment
Pushing technique
Consult with your OT, maybe at your next medical check-up, and get advice on what is the correct position in your wheelchair for you.
One of the most important things you can do is start to make changes well before damage occurs. Listen to obvious symptoms such as restricted movement and pain.
Treatment Options for Painful Shoulders
Pain is now considered the 5th vital sight and should be routinely measured if possible taking into consideration the intensity of the pain, the distress it is causing you and the way it interferes with your normal everyday activities.
Discuss pain management options with appropriate medical staff and explore possibilities for attending specialist clinics or self-help groups.
Use of painkillers can mask symptoms so you should be careful not to continue activities, which aggravate shoulder pain, such as over-reaching or playing sport.
Rest the shoulders during acute periods of pain.
Physiotherapy treatment may help to reduce inflammation and you may be given advice on exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the joints.
Hydrotherapy may help, as joints are supported when in the hydrotherapy pool.
Surgery, you can discuss with your consultant which surgical options may be available and suitable for you.
Other conditions which can affect the shoulders in SCI are:
osteo-arthritis, dislocations, rotator cuff tears, tendonitis
Elbow joints
The main problems affecting the elbow joint are arthritis and bursitis. Bursitis is an inflammatory condition caused by injury or infection and commonly occurs around joints or where, in the body, ligaments and tendons pass over bone.
Wrists and Hands
The wrist contains 8 small bones called the carpal bones. One of the most troublesome conditions in SCI to affect the wrist and hands is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The median nerve passes through the carpal tunnel and when excessive pressure is exerted on this nerve, symptoms, such as pins and needles, numbness, pain, swelling and weakness occur. This can lead to degrees of loss of independence as ability to grip objects is compromised. It can affect one or both hands.
The causes and contributory factors in SCI can be due to:
What can help?
Recovery from any surgery must be taken slowly to avoid further damage to soft tissue. Make plans well in advance to cater for loss of independence during the recovery stage with extra help and aids.
In Summary
Things to check out
Have you got into bad habits?
Does your pushing technique need adjusting?
Do you protect your hands with appropriate gloves?
Are you seating correctly?
Your Equipment / aids
Hoists for transferring onto beds / into cars.
Night splints for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Your Care
Do you need extra help in the morning and at night?
Does your partner/helper need extra aids in order to assist you?
Do you need more assistance or helpers?

Glues made from natural rubber are not largely represented in today's market, but their presence has enabled many new applications not only for permanent gluing of objects, but also great ability to stick and unstick objects without any residue.
The most important type of glue that enabled our ancestors to develop new tools and techniques for advancing our civilizations are animal glues. Here you can read about how they were used and developed through last four thousand years of our history.
Harry Coover Jr changed the history of glue by managing to be the first chemist to find the procedure of creating cyanoacrylates – extremely-strong and super-fast variant of synthetic adhesives that are today known as super glues.
From the moment first super glue appeared on the market in the late 1950s, history of making glue and our interactions with them were significantly impacted. Here you can find out how superglues are made in modern factories.
