text: 24 December 2009 Jolie and Pitt Support American Foster Children with Grant of $100,000 for Christmas to American SOS Children's Villages Angelina Jolie is an SOS Children's Villages Supporter December 24, 2009 -- Washington DC -- SOS Children's Villages - USA today announced a gift of $100,000 from Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to support its two American SOS Children's Villages for Christmas. SOS-Florida and SOS-Illinois were founded over fifteen years ago to provide an alternative form of foster care in the US - that puts an end to multiple placements, separation from siblings, physical and sexual abuse or neglect and abandonment. Ms. Jolie said of the donation, "We have seen first-hand the remarkable job SOS does to raise orphaned and abandoned children and keep families together. No one "ages out" of an SOS Village: vocational training, advanced education, living assistance and moral support are there forever. SOS Children's Villages - USA CEO Heather Paul stated, "The Jolie - Pitt Foundation has been a strong and loyal supporter of SOS Children's Villages around the world. We are deeply grateful that this year this couple has included in their generosity our villages in Illinois and Florida and our 300 children who call SOS 'home.'" Brad Pitt: "In this holiday season, many of us take for granted that we are surrounded by loving family members. The poor outcomes for foster children indicate that we must do a much better job of supporting them." You can help an orphaned child this holiday season. Please, make a donation to SOS Children's Villages today. About SOS Children's Villages in Illinois and Florida SOS-Florida in Coconut Creek provides a home for 75 children of all ages. Services include tutoring, therapy, life skills, and family reunification when possible. SOS-Illinois operates two villages, one in Lockport which cares for 102 children. A second village in South Chicago takes care of 84 children and youths. A Social Center also provides day care and support services for other families at risk. Another SOS Village on the West Side of Chicago is in the planning stages. About SOS Children's Villages For 60 years, SOS Children's Villages has been dedicated to the long-term care of orphaned and abandoned children. With 500 villages in 132 countries, SOS offers a family-based village model that provides for the holistic needs of a child - family, community, education and support - essential for the successful transition from childhood into adulthood. Through Villages, schools, medical facilities, micro-lending, and family strengthening programs, SOS Children's Villages impacts the lives of over 1 million people each year. In 2009, SOS Children's Villages was honored with the Save the World Award. SOS is also the recipient of the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize and the Mother Teresa Gold Medal. About US Foster Care There are 518,000 American children in foster care. Three in four are separated from their siblings. Most will live in six or more foster homes in the US foster care system. Unfortunately, their future can be bleak: 25% are homeless at some time; 45% never finish high school; 40% live on public assistance and 84% have a child within 18 months of "aging out" of the system.

The first algorithms of artificial intelligence, designed to help doctors diagnose heart and lung diseases, will begin to work in public clinics in the UK in the summer of 2018. Each patient can use AI services for free.
Health experts are confident that the use of AI for disease diagnostics will not only help save up to a billion pounds per year, but it will also speed the process of diagnosing diseases - the algorithms will work with pictures quickly and without days off, while the medical staff gets tired and at the same time decreases its performance.
Systems based on AI, capable of detecting lung cancer and diagnosing cardiovascular diseases, were developed by engineers from the John Redcliffe Hospital. In addition to identifying signs of a heart attack and lung cancer, the Ultromics algorithm draws attention to other smallest details from the images, so it will certainly help with the detection of other diseases.
Developers will provide their algorithm free of charge to medical institutions, because there are frequent mistakes in the diagnosis among doctors. According to the BBC, of the 60,000 images that are taken annually in an average hospital, 12,000 lead to false diagnoses.
Now the software is being tested, and although the test results have not been published yet, doctors report that the AI copes with diagnosing images much better than people.

Penny and I have been on vacation, riding locally then staying in Chincoteague since Wednesday. Post to follow. I'm chilling, cleaning, and doing laundry.
Also, my desktop has been incredibly slow for a couple weeks. I suspected a ZoneAlarm conflict. The power was out at my house when I went out of town, and when I came back it the PC was on a black screen asking if i wanted to save system changes. I did and ZA failed completely and wouldn't come up any more. I have successfully uninstalled it and gone back to Norton (I have multiple licenses for each and use them on various machines). The desktop is just humming along now.

It's almost hard to believe that urgent care – an area of medicine that is now so firmly established within Australasia and other parts of the world – was nothing more than an emerging concept a mere twenty-five years ago. Had it not been for the temerity and forward thinking of a group of New Zealand doctors, there would not be the bridge between general practice and emergency care that we have today, says Dr Afraz Adam.
He cites doctors David Gollogly, Rob Kofoed, Alistair Sullivan, Richard Powell and William Kim as being instrumental in the development of the specialty that exists so strongly today.
"Thank goodness for these doctors – because what they established has paved the way for doctors like us, who always felt like we were in a limbo of whether to practise a full-time hospital medicine role or whether to step into general practice, where you do take the tensions of your day-to-day work home."
He says it was clear that there was demand for a medical area that acted as an intermediary between the day-by-day service of general practice and the more serious conditions that would, by default, require an often lengthy visit to a hospital emergency department.
"The idea was to offer care to those patients who wanted to walk in after their job. They could find their usual practice was closed but they didn't want to go to ED and wait eight hours to be seen for a nasty sore throat that had developed that morning – but where could they go? It was clear there was a need, not just for doctors to have a speciality, but for patients to have an affordable, convenient point of care which was available to them as a one-off when they wanted it."
And so the College was born. Initially formed in 1992 as the Accident Medical Practitioners Association, it would go through a number of iterations before becoming the Royal College of Urgent Care in 2013, when the Queen granted her Royal decree to use the title, a milestone that was commemorated with an elaborate function at Government House.
Bridging the gap for both patients and doctors was indeed the impetus behind the establishment of urgent care as a medical field, as Dr Adam explains.
"I like to look at urgent care like a venn diagram, where you have a hospital emergency department on one side, and your family doctor or general practitioner – who's treated you for life – on the other side. We are smack-bang in the intersection in the middle – we are urgent, but not an emergent condition, so if you have an urgency you come to urgent care, if you have an emergency you call an ambulance and go to the hospital. That's the way I describe urgent care to patients."
As Dr Adam explains, the emergence of urgent care benefits not just patients, but doctors working outside of the urgent care field as well, with a positive impact on general practitioners.
"A GP can go home with peace of mind that if one of their patients becomes suddenly unwell they would not necessarily have to end up in the hospital setting. They would have a practice where they could go and get treated and they would be very well informed about what's happened overnight. So when they open the doors the next day they find an additional summary that says, for example 'your patient with asthma who you saw during the day just suddenly got worse at night and we managed to stabilise him, he's back at home and he'll come back and see you tomorrow. But he was in safe hands and he's fine' – I would like to think that gives general practitioners reassurance that their patients are well taken care of after hours."
Dr Adam is very positive about the position the Royal New Zealand College of Urgent Care is in and the prospects the future holds.
"The future is looking very bright for the College, the future looks challenging as well in terms of the fact that I think we're going to be one of the fastest growing colleges in the near future. Our numbers are increasing steadily."
As the numbers continue to increase, so too does the amount of interest in the College, not just locally but also internationally.
"We're getting a lot of recognition from doctors in places like Australia and Canada who are joining our training programme, they're coming to New Zealand for a few years because it's an area of need in most of countries that's perhaps not yet recognised, and a lot of doctors do want to undergo training in this and then take it back to their own countries as well.
Dr Adam is quick to emphasise the continued need for an after hours service in the country, as it allows patients a comfortable and positive experience, as well as giving general practitioners peace of mind and in turn keeping the load off the hospital system.
"It's an area that's irreplaceable; what's more exciting though is that there's so much more recognition in urgent care now compared to what it would have been twenty years ago. We're really going from strength to strength."

For most students, the change to post-secondary education is liberating and energizing. You will have more freedom and independence, opportunities to make new friends, chances to discover people who share your interests, and the ability to focus on subjects that really interest you. Your own personal transition will depend on a variety of things, especially
- whether you'll be living at home or away
- what you'll be studying
- how much you like what you're studying
- whether you participate in school clubs or sports
- how you approach challenges as they come up
Make the Changes Positive
To make sure the changes are as positive as possible, give some advance thought to how you might handle some of the most common hurdles young people experience. For example
- Expect academic changes. You'll probably have much larger classes and less personal contact with teachers. You might also have fewer tests, so each of them will be worth more.
- Prepare yourself for some relationship difficulties as you forge new attachments and leave old friendships behind. If you go away to school, you might also be a bit homesick at first.
- Anticipate both the opportunities and the pressures that come with having the freedom to express yourself in new ways.
Get to Know Yourself
You might find that, along with learning a profession or acquiring the credits you need for further education, post-secondary offers you a chance to figure yourself out.
For example, you might discover that the program you chose is not for you, after all. Don't let that worry you. This happens a lot, and most schools are prepared to help students change their course of study if needed.
Learn to Budget Your Money
Entire articles have been written about the need to prepare yourself financially for post-secondary. If you're going in with a lean budget or student loans, start thinking now about creative ways to keep your spending down.
In general, a great way to prepare yourself for post-secondary is to ask other students about their experiences. If you don't know very many older students, check out Learning Clicks for thoughtful, humorous and sincere first-hand accounts of how other students have survived the switch.
Get a Head Start
Most post-secondary institutions offer orientations to help students make the transition from high school. Take a look at the website for the college or university you plan to attend, and see what they offer. For example, the University of Alberta's Student Success Centre offers T2U (Transition to University) sessions, both online and in person.

My house gathers desires
First edition.
"Adam McOmber's lush, hallucinatory stories are both familiar and wholly original. Drawn from the historical record, Biblical lore, fairy tales, science fiction, and nightmares, these offbeat and fantastical works explore gender and sexuality in their darkest and most beautiful manifestations. In the tradition of Angela Carter or Kelly Link, My House Gathers Desires is covertly funny and haunting, seeking fresh ways to consider sexual identity and its relation to history. In "Sodom and Gomorrah," readers encounter a subversive, ecstatic new version of the Old Testament story. In "The Re'em," a medieval monk's search for a mythic beast conjures forbidden desire. And in "Notes on Inversion," the German psychiatrist Kraft-Ebbing receives a surreal retort to his clinical descriptions of same-sex desire. From "Sodom and Gomorrah": The strangers then are no longer like two men at all. They have undressed themselves, giving up the pretense of skin and becoming a denser part of the air. We are hungry for them. Ours is a sacred desire that was buried too long in our chests, like some city beneath the sand. Adam McOmber is the author of The White Forest (Touchstone, 2012) and This New & Poisonous Air (BOA, 2011), from which he had stories nominated for two 2012 Pushcart Prizes. His work has appeared in Conjunctions, Kenyon Review, and Fairy Tale Review. He served as the managing and associate editor of Hotel America at Columbia College Chicago from 2007-2015. He now lives in Los Angeles, CA, where he teaches at Loyola Marymount University"--

This is the second time I have tried to post this, so hope it works this time.
I have been pretty busy, working, PITC, knitting and life. But, for a week at least I am on vacation from work. I have been looking forward to this for a very long time and I intend to enjoy every minute of it.
My grandchildren will be staying with us for a few days. That is if they don't drive me crazy and I send them home. I put them to work this morning, cleaning out the garage so we could organize the stuff for the pick up on Tuesday by Sallys. I also had them crushing cans for recycling. Poor things, they acted as though I were making them do the most awful thing imaginable. On Wednesday we are taking them to Santa Cruz, so that should get rid of some of the trauma. I mean what kid doesn't like death defying rides on the boardwalk and a whole ocean to play in?
I am hoping to finish the school bags I want to make and send to the reservation. I have them all cut from unbleached muslin and want to tye dye them before I sew them. I have 40 cut, so hope to get them done in the next week or two. I also have a bunch of school supplies to send up to them and I will get the first box sent off on Tuesday. Wish it were more, but it is the best I can do for now.
I have been knitting a lot lately. Besides the baby blanket I finished, I also made a pair of mittens and a hat which will be sent to the rez. Along with the other items I am making my first Baby Surprise Jacket to send along to the rez. Well, I can't say it is my first one. I started one before but couldn't finish it because I couldn't understant the directions. So, what is the difference this time, you might ask? I bought the DVD "Elizabeth Zimmermann's Baby Surprise Jacket with Meg Swansen". What a wonderful video this is. Meg goes over the making of the Jacket step by step. She makes one as she is explaining everything, so you can see exactly what to do. I am almost finished with the knitting, and still want to put a collar on it and an I-cord around it. I also want to make the matching hat which Meg shows how to make. I highly recommend this DVD. I will post pictures when I am done.
Almost time to get dinner for this crew, then we are going to the Marina to walk. Hope everyone has a great evening.

The US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas granted defendants' motion to amend their pleadings after the deadline for amending had passed. Allergan v. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, No. 15-1455-WCB, 2017 WL 1512334 (E.D. Tex. Apr. 27, 2017) (Bryson, C.J.)Ā
Allergan sued several defendants, including Teva, Mylan and Akorn, alleging infringement of patents Orange-Book listed for Restasis, an ophthalmic emulsion for treating chronic dry eyes containing 0.05 percent cyclosporine. Defendants asserted invalidity defenses based on prior art patents naming Dr. Shulin Ding as the inventor. Dr. Ding, who worked for Allergan as a formulation scientist during the relevant development period of Restasis, was not named as an inventor of the asserted Orange-Book patents.Ā
Defendants sought discovery related to Dr. Ding's work at Allergan. In response, Allergan produced technical reports and later, after the deadline for amending pleadings, a lab notebook showing Dr. Ding was involved in formulating and testing the formulation that became the Restasis product. During Dr. Ding's deposition, taken after the close of fact discovery and after the amended pleading deadline, she testified that she had worked on the development of Restasis for several years, and confirmed that the formulations described in the reports and lab notebook were her work and were the same formulations that eventually became Restasis. Two months after Dr. Ding's deposition, defendants moved to amend their pleadings to add a new invalidity theory based on incorrect inventorship.Ā
Judge Bryson analyzed defendants' motion to amend under the 5th Circuit's four prong test, weighing each prong to determine whether to allow defendants to add a defense after the amended pleadings deadline had passed. Judge Bryson considered: (1) defendants' explanation of delay; (2) the importance of amendment; (3) prejudice to plaintiff; and (4) availability of a continuance to cure prejudice.Ā
The court weighed the first prong in favor of allowing the amendment, even though defendants waited two months after Dr. Ding's deposition to file their motion to amend. The court found the defendants were not at fault for the delay between the production of the technical reports and lab notebook related to Dr. Ding's work or the delay in taking her deposition. Nor did the court agree that defendants could have amended their pleadings after receiving the technical reports and lab notebook. It was only after Dr. Ding's deposition could defendants have had a good faith basis to assert an invalidity defense based on incorrect inventorship.Ā
Turning to the second prong, even though inventorship could be corrected by Allergan, which would obviate defendants' invalidity defense, the court found the second prong also weighed in favor of allowing the amendment. In weighing this factor, the court reasoned that even though inventorship could be corrected, there were incentives to name the correct inventors (e.g., triggering the duty of disclosure of an unnamed, but correct, inventor). The court also weighed this factor with a "pragmatic judgment" on the likelihood that the new defense would succeed, effectively overlaying a likelihood of success analysis. In doing so, the court found that defendants were somewhat likely to show Dr. Ding was a co-inventor.Ā
Finishing with the third and fourth prongs, the court gave Allergan additional time to conduct limited discovery on the inventorship issue, thus negating any prejudice to Allergan. The fourth prong was found to be irrelevant because there was sufficient time in the case schedule to allow for limited fact discovery on the inventorship issue. Because all the factors weighed in favor of allowing the amendment or were irrelevant, the court granted defendants motion to amend their pleadings and invalidity contentions to add an invalidity defense based on incorrect inventorship.
Generic Defendants Shed No Tears after Winning Motion to Add Incorrect Inventorship Defense

Overall catch success rate, all species combined: 85%
Numbers at a glance: Billfish 25%, Tuna 43%, Dorado 18%, other 35%
There were far fewer boats trips out this week than last, and the catch success rate was at 85% of all boats. There were varied catches throughout the week, although it was mainly a small yellowfin tuna kind of week, with 43% of boats landing them. Smaller game fish associated with inshore fishing were very common this week, lending itself to a great variety of fish species being seen by our anglers this week. There was much of the extremely good eating sierra Spanish mackerel, there were also roosterfish which are prized for the fight that they pack for their size. While some boats even landed some decent sized groupers.
Starting out the week the Pisces Tracy Ann had a very prolific day of fishing, landing (and releasing some) 19 yellowfin tunas mostly in the 10-20lbs range, as well as 10 sierra Spanish mackerel for some anglers from Beaumont, Texas. They were fishing just outside the Golden Gate, and caught all fish on cedar plugs and cuchi lures. The Pisces Adriana also had quite a prolific day on the 19th, they were fishing for anglers from Los Altos, California, out at the Golden Gate. They landed a 130lbs striped marlin, three groupers and twelve ladyfish, four huachinangos (local snapper), redfish and a few other smaller species of game fish, with those all being released. While the Pisces Adriana had a double striped marlin day (released) for their anglers from California, their fish were in the 120-140lbs range and they also caught and released a small mako shark.
LOCATION: Pacific side.
WEATHER CONDITIONS: Seas mostly clam this week; skies mostly clear with some clouds, air temperatures were in the mid to low 70s.
AVERAGE WATER TEMP: 72ºF.
BEST LURES: Mackerel live bait, cedar plugs, cuchi lures.
Based on the catches of Pisces Sportfishing Fleet by Glenn Ehrenberg

The researchers bred mosquitoes with a green fluorescent gene, as a marker that can easily be observed in experiments. They allowed these insects to mingle and mate with a small number of mosquitoes that carried a segment of DNA coding for an enzyme capable of permanently inactivating the fluorescent gene. After each generation, they counted how many mosquitoes still retained an active fluorescent gene.
They found that in experiments which began with close to 99% of green fluorescent mosquitoes, more than half had lost their green marker genes in just 12 generations. The study is the first successful proof-of-principle experiment of its kind, and suggests that this technique could similarly be used to propagate a genetic change within a wild mosquito population.

text: Hello, I just went to games.com to play scrabble for the first time in over a year. Since I last went there I've added a SCSI hd and upgraded to OSx.3.5. First I tried SAfari, then Netscape, then Explorer. In the game lobby where you start a game I couldn't join a game or start a board or see myself on the player list with both safari and netscape. Explorer worked well enough to play one game, but still had similar problems. Do I need a plugin? Or should I upgrade to X.3.9? Or is my computer too slow? When I have some more $$$$ I will be upgrading to 500 Mhz G4, probably with a Sonnet card. Will that help? Thanks!

Sunshine + 80 degree happiness + new patio furniture = the perfect occasion for a barbeque with friends!
There is nothing better than those spontaneous summer get-togethers with your closest friends that last long into the night. You start off with chips and dip (or whatever snacks you have in your pantry), some wine and the sweet sounds of the the kids playing with their friends in the backyard. Then you fire up the grill and enjoy some more wine. Before you know it, you are lighting the citronella candles, opening some more wine and laughing more than you have all week.
It doesn't have to cost a lot when everyone brings something to share and it certainly doesn't have to be a fancy affair that requires a lot of preparation and stress on your part. All you need is a table and chairs outside, good friends, good wine and a couple of candles.
What are you waiting for? Call your friends up now and invite them over this weekend to enjoy the longest day of the year!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Squier Strat Forum' started by dazco, Oct 5, 2017.
Springs...around surgical tubing
Oh, I always search for old slightly rusted reliced Springs for authentic Vintage sound..shiny new Springs sounds too modern.
It all adds up you Know ! Sum of all parts adds to total overall sound of the guitar.
Ladies & Gentlemen - Strat Talk has a new troll.
I would never describe you as a troll sir. You are too harsh on yourself. Have more coffee, it's early.
That is completely subjective. What good and bad sound is for "most people" would have to be identified and defined. I'm guessing that can't be done.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Tone is in the ear of the listener
NO that is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
The tubes must go on the outside or you will never get a decent sound out of it.
yes, but i'm not talking about subjective sound, i'm talking about what the general consensus would call good or bad, not what type of sound would be one or the other. I've had guitars with wood that sounded such that if you heard them you'd understand. There are sonic details NO ONE wants. I've had a few like that, the last one being tele. I assure you no one would want a guitar that sounded like that, and i replaced every part on it trying to eliminate a exaggerated and very buzzy harsh top end that i guarantee you no one would want. Nothing helped. I have also had a few that were magical. But of the maybe 200 fenders and fender style/partscaster guitars i've owned the vast majority were within reason. But it just illustrate a the point i was making that wood and pickups are both important and that just because one may be fantastic that doesn't mean you can use anything for the other part and it will not make a difference. My reply was to someone that was saying if the wood is great pickups don't matter.Tell that to someone who wants a clean scooped low output vintage tone and puts a high output pickup with cocked wah mids in a guitar woth a fantasic piece of wood in it. THAT is subjective but it illustrates what i was telling the guy i was replying to. You questioned another post like this i made where i mentioned tone in respect to things no one wants, and there ARE tones like that. Most tone IS subjective like i said then, but I wasn't talking about that. When it comes to that if i mention it it's in respect to MY taste and i make that obvious and often say things like "IMO" because on internet forums you have to otherwise people read into your posts whatever they want. Thats why my posts tend to be so long, as i try to be as detailed and through as i can so what i say is clear enough to eliminate responses that miss the point. But it still happens if not as much.
There's no such thing. This is an internet forum.
I generally concur with that. Now we have a general consensus.
Damn, there goes another perfectly good theory.
What to do if the Listener is Tone Deaf and suffering from Tinnitus ? ... PARDON! did you say something ?

On the last day of January 2012, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) issued its budget and spending projections for the federal government covering the next ten years. The 167-page report is full of economic and spending charts and statistics.
This article provides lots of quotes and details. Here is a summary of the CBO's most important conclusions:
- The Economy & Unemployment Will Stay Weak or will Deteriorate
- The Deficit May Decrease … Or Not
- Entitlements Must Change
- Subsidized "Tax Expenditures" are Huge
Congress really ought to pay attention to its own report. The data in this report should pay a prominent role in the debate on what to do with these important priorities.

Apprentices were the stars of the show as Brighouse-based engineering training provider Kirkdale Industrial Training Services held its annual awards ceremony at the Cedar Court Hotel, Ainley Top.
The event is held every year to celebrate and recognise the achievements of learners and apprentices, predominantly in the 16-21 age category.
Master Cutler David Grey MBE, who was the guest speaker, said: "It is really great to be invited to be guest of honour at the ceremony.
"It is important that we recognise the achievement of the learners in gaining apprenticeships and qualifications that will stand them in good stead throughout the rest of their career and their life."
He told the apprentices they were the future of engineering and through hard work they had a good career ahead of them."
More than 100 certificates and special awards ranging from 'Best Mechanical Apprentice' to 'Overall Apprentice of the Year' were presented on the evening.
Matthew Barnes, who works for Brighouse-based machinery manufacturers Asquith Butler, was given the apprentice of the year accolade.
David Todhunter, KITS chief executive, said: "Tonights guest list includes representation of member companies who are crucial in the partnership of the training and development of youngsters to a standard of best in class in terms of engineering achievement.
"It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the continuing challenges and sometimes difficult operating environment that continues to prevail employers, and to thank them for their continued support to KITS, their innovative ability to look beyond the next year by so positively planning ahead and continuing to recruit apprentices."

The Revised Text of a Lecture Given on 13 October 2015, English Language Day, at the University of Winchester, UK
The mission of the English Project (www.englishproject.org) is to explore and explain the English language in order to educate and entertain the English speaker, and 2015 was the year of punctuation for the Project because 6 February 2015 was the 500th anniversary of the death of Aldus Manutius. Aldus was a Venetian printer who shaped the comma, invented the semicolon and created italic fonts. He may have been the greatest punctuator of all time. We 'punctuated' the year by looking in turn at the full stop, the semicolon, the colon, the comma, the slash, the hyphen, the parenthesis, the exclamation, the apostrophe, the quotation mark and the question mark. Those twelve provide the fundamentals of English language punctuation, and all of them do more than one job. If we had a complete and unambiguous set of punctuation marks, we might need as many as fifty, but the writing world does not want the trouble of such precision. In just the same way, the writing world has never accepted the need for forty-four separate letters to match the forty-four separate sounds of the English language. Providing a separate grapheme (letter) for every phoneme (sound) is the linguist's business. Punctuation marks are ambiguous therefore. They suggest rather than define. They rely on context and the quick wittedness of the reader. If precision is needed, there are proofreader's marks. Merriam-Webster lists forty-two of them, but proofreading is a special practice.
Punctuation marks are a special set of symbols, and of symbols and signs there is no end. Punctuation marks are regularly appropriated by the devisers of computer languages. Punctuation marks can become logotypes – 'a single piece of type that prints a word'. The exclamation mark can be made to work like &, $, or @. There are fuzzy edges to the subject of punctuation.
The English Project favours a historical, descriptive approach rather than a didactic, prescriptive approach. Like the Oxford English Dictionary, we prefer to describe not prescribe. History tells us why. Our twelve punctuation marks have been used in so many different ways over the past fourteen hundred years that there is no historical right way. There is no authority to give rules. The most abhorred punctuational deed of the present day is the grocer's apostrophe: 'Apple's £2 a kilo'. But the use of an apostrophe to indicate a plural was common in the eighteenth century. The best authors did it, among them Thomas Jefferson. And the mention of his name points up the fact that the punctuation conventions of the United Kingdom are not identical with those of the United States.
Punctuation has varied over time and space, and, to talk about it, it is best to find a point at which to start. That might be with the Greeks and it could be with the Romans who took what punctuation they had (not a lot) from the Greeks, but it would be better to start with Saint Jerome, some fifty years or so before the English language had reach the island we now call Britain. In the year 400, Jerome produced the first complete translation of the Bible into Latin. To ensure that the word of God was read aloud correctly, he encouraged those who copied his bible to adopt a practice used for the education of Roman schoolboys. Classical Roman script had no word breaks and no small letters. What you got was an uninterrupted stream of capitals. Because that flow was difficult for the boys to handle, Roman schoolmasters would break the letters into sections and subsections - 'per cola et commata' - into colons and commas. The Christian monks found those breaks as useful as the Roman schoolboys. Jerome was satisfied that the Bible had a good chance to be read out intelligibly. Jerome's Latin remained the Latin of the Church for the next thousand and more years, but already Latin was evolving into Italian, Spanish, French. Italian, Spanish and French monks were content with Jerome's colons and commas, his sections and subsections, but it was a different story in the British Isles. Jerome's Bible arrived in Ireland about the year 500, and, as conversion proceeded, Celtic monks struggled to master the sacred language of Rome. They needed all the help that Jerome's 'cola et commata' could give them, but before they could make sense of the colons and commas, they needed to know where one word ended and another began.
So it was that in Hibernia monks began to put a punctus, a point, between individual words. In due course, the Germanic-speaking monks of the former Roman province of Britannia had the same struggle as the Irish monks with foreign nature of Latin. They too found a dot between words a great help. By Germanic-speaking monks, I, of course, mean, English-speaking monks, those Angle, Saxon and Jutish monks who began to copy Latin manuscripts in the seventh century. One day, one monk, somewhere, dispensed with the dot between words, inventing the greatest punctuation mark of all, the word space. That punctuator will have to be called Anonymous, but there is an Anglo-Saxon punctuator whom we can name, and he is Alcuin of York. His scriptorium at the Minster was so famed that when Charlemagne set about reforming his chancellery in Aachen, he asked Alcuin of York to take charge. Alcuin arrived and introduced the word space to continental Europe. That would have been at the end of the eighth century, about 800 or so. The punctus had been liberated from marking the end of words. A punctus or a dot over a word came to indicate a pause; a punctus or a dot after a word came to indicate the equivalence of the phrases on either side of it; a punctus or a dot under a word came to indicate a periodus. Colon, comma, and period were none of them placed on what we would call the line. Above, below or middle of the line were all one to a handwriting monk.
For a printer, things were different, and the printing press brought the biggest changes of all to European punctuation. Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of moveable type, takes his place, after Jerome and Alcuin, as our third great punctuator. Beyond the major changes made by Gutenberg's press is the lesser but important story of Gutenberg's particular punctuation mark. It is the hyphen. Gutenberg used more hyphens per page than any printer, not before, because there weren't any, but since. He used hyphens to reproduce on the printed page the magisterial double columns of the best manuscript pages. We use them rather differently, but like Gutenberg, we use them within the line of print, not below it as the monks had done. Moveable type spread rapidly across Europe, and it brought forward printers of genius, among them, William Caxton. Having learned his trade in Bruges, he established a print shop in Westminster in 1476. Caxton was troubled by placing the comma dot above words. He solved that by placing a stroke between words to act as a comma. The monks called that mark a 'virgula', a twig. Though the name remains the French word for a comma, the 'virgule', it is not our way of marking a comma. However, as the stroke, oblique or solidus, it is one of our twelve punctuation marks.
The comma, as we know it, had not to wait long, and it was one of the innovations of the greatest punctuator, Aldus of Mantua. Mantua was his place of birth, and Venice was his place of work. There he set up shop in the 1490s. He printed books in Latin, Greek and Hebrew. He had exquisite fonts made for all three alphabets. Printer, publisher, writer, translator, scholar, artist, he was a simply wonderful man. The periodus now placed on the print line meant that the above-word comma dot could not simply be lowered to the line. Instead, Aldus had his font maker add an elegant curve to produce the beauty of the Renaissance comma. Aldus went on to combine the new comma with the old periodus to produce the semi-colon. When Aldus died in 1515, his innovations spread across Europe, taking with them modern, streamlined, in-the-line punctuation. Gradually, Aldus's comma replaced Caxton's virgula.
'Commas, like nuns, often travel in pairs,' says Mary Norris, the self-proclaimed Comma Queen of New York and of The New Yorker. Mary Norris joined The New Yorker in 1978, and she has been correcting commas and much else for the last forty years. The New Yorker watched over by Norris is probably the best-punctuated magazine in the world, but 500 years after Aldus, there is not the scope for the twenty-first-century punctuator that there was for the fifteenth-century punctuator. The time for inventing new punctuation marks has gone, not that people don't try. In 1962 Martin K. Speckter combined the question mark and the exclamation mark to make something he called 'exclamaquest' and 'interrobang'. The name 'interrobang' stuck, but the punctuation mark did not. Serious modern punctuators do not invent punctuation marks; they apply them with rigour and style. They write the guidebooks. We follow them.
The age of inventive punctuation was first that of the great originators: Gutenberg, Caxton and Aldus. Though they were scholars in their own right, especially Aldus, they were primarily artisans and businessmen. Their great job was to adapt the practices of the manuscript to the printed page. Their legacy has been a happy one. The second age of inventive punctuators immediately followed the first, but it is not such a happy story. The formidable figure Geoffroy Tory of Paris shows why. Tory was appointed France's royal printer in 1530, and he was a man not content to print what was in plain sight. He was distressed by those French words that had lost their Latin spelling and had become, in the notion of the time, corrupted. To show what the spellings should be he introduced accents. Along with the acutes and graves, he brought in apostrophes. They may have been useful if France; they have been fatal in England. Like Geoffroy Tory, English printers began using apostrophes to show what was not there. Apostrophes did not say anything about the language on the page; they were talking about another language, Latin. And English scholars went one further than the French. Tory drew attention to missing French letters. The English were concerned about missing English letters, not only lost Latin spelling but lost Anglo-Saxon spellings too. Fourteenth-century authors and scribes had written 'bookes' and 'bookis' but those 'e's and 'i's ceased to be sounded in the fifteenth century. Sixteenth-century writers and printers began writing 'books'. Seventeenth-century scholars, seeing linguistic corruption, began to write 'book's', 'book's' and 'books''. Listening, you cannot tell the difference. 'Books' sounds identical to both 'book's' and 'book's'. The supererogatory apostrophe had arrived to confuse, dismay and enrage four hundred years of writers. By 1650, the English were using the full stop, comma, colon, semi-colon, hyphen, slash, and apostrophe with considerable variation and idiosyncrasy but moving towards modern usage. The parenthesis, the ellipsis, the exclamation, the quotation and the question marks remain.
Like the semicolon, the parenthesis is an early modern punctuation mark. It had some manuscript forerunners, and George Puttenham, among the first English writers to talk about it, wanted us to call it the 'insertour'. We decided against that. Rather than his rugged English word, we have preferred a pseudo-Greek one. Commas and even dashes can serve to set phrases and clauses aside, but parentheses proper come in four shapes: round, square, curly and angle. In some lists, round, square, curly brackets are treated as three separate punctuation marks, but that really won't do. If we are to count round, square, curly brackets as separate, why not add a fourth, the angle bracket? All four are alike even though all four can be made to serve different purposes by different user groups. Mathematicians, logicians, physicists, and programmers give their own meanings to round, square, curly, and angle brackets.
Punctuation is a communal thing. A use has to be agreed by a group, but it does not have to be agreed by everyone. You'll want your group to be as large as possible, perhaps, but, if you establish a conventional use and others follow you, then you have a functional punctuation mark. However, punctuation marks become symbols as they get further and further from prose and poetry. The exclamation demonstrates that. Ben Jonson, seventeenth-century England's great punctuator, called it the admiration mark. It was also called a shriek and a screamer. Since then, it has been called a bang, a boing, a gasper, a pling, a slammer, and a Christer. In comic books, exclamation marks figure large and multi-coloured. They float above the heads of characters recently amazed, dazed or assaulted. Coming out of guns, they represent explosions. The exclamation is used as a mathematical symbol to indicate the multiplication of a descending sequence of natural numbers. 52! = 52x51x50x49x[…]x3x2x1. If you are reading mathematical formula out loud, you will say, when you come upon '52!': 'fifty-two factorial', 'fifty-two shriek', or even 'fifty-two bang'. That 'bang' shows us that mathematicians like to read comics.
Our twelve or so punctuation marks have very many more than twelve meanings. Most particularly, October's mark, the apostrophe sign, signals thirteen different functions as prime mark, consonant, quotation mark, possessive, ditto and so on. One of its functions is to serve as an ellipsis mark in formations like 'don't' and 'won't', shortened forms of 'do not' and 'will not'. Ellipsis deals with what is not said. It makes the reader do the work of the writer; never more so than when the ellipsis is signalled by three dots. Those potent dots suggest ironies, innuendoes, winks, and nods. They say more than the writer says. The multifunctional apostrophe, when called an inverted comma, becomes a quotation mark. Henry Fowler, author of The King's English of 1906, thought that the educated man would not need quotation marks to tell him that well-known statements are quotation. In addition, he thought quotation marks 'visually ugly interruptions to be avoided'. That there was a strong prejudice against the mark is obvious though it is not obvious why.
The quotation mark, like the ellipsis and the apostrophe, serves an editorial function; it provides a comment rather than a meaning or a measure. The quotation mark cannot be heard. That is why it is not unusual to see speakers at American academic conferences raising their hands to give tiny, curling waves of their index and middle fingers. They are signalling a quotation; it is a matter for the eye not the ear. On the radio, people will say 'Quote Unquote' and 'In inverted commas' to announce a quotation.
Now for the question mark. Its consistent use began with manuscripts produced for the court of Charlemagne in the late eighth century. Unlike the apostrophe and the quotation mark, the question signals something heard. People raise their voices at the end of sentences. This is such a strong indicator of interrogation that it can, on its own change, a statement into a question. 'You're going into town tomorrow.' is a command. 'You're going into town tomorrow?' is a question. Question marks mark questions, and questions are sounded, we like to think, by a rising terminal tone. Once upon a time when you heard a rising terminal, you knew that a question was being asked. That is not the case today. A linguistic phenomenon called the high rising terminal does not signify a question. Other names for the high rising terminal are upspeak, uptalk, rising inflection, and ADD. ADD stands for Australian Dialect Disease, and Australian soap operas have been blamed for spreading an infection. Neighbours and Home and Away are fertile breeding grounds for ADD, but ADD has infected American English as much as British English, and, anyway, Australians say they caught the disease from New Zealanders.
Well, there we have the past thousand years of English punctuation marks. What about the next thousand years? As a starter prediction, on English Language Day, in October, in Apostrophe month, I have to say that I think that the apostrophe is doomed. There is, of course, the Apostrophe Protection Society. It has the 'aim of preserving the correct use of this currently much abused punctuation mark in all forms of text written in the English language'. The society's website has had close to two million visitors. That shows great interest and probably great support, but the need for protection signals a problem: contradictions guide the apostrophe's use, and, when put to use, it is not much use. Apostrophists who have been corporally punished as a means of learning punctuation rules are most likely to demand that lesser generations learn those same rules. However, in the twenty-first century, well-beaten apostrophists are dying daily, and, in truth, there are no rules. Many people find that hard to accept, but there is no authority beyond usage. If the apostrophe's outlook is gloomy, what is in the future for English punctuation marks in general? As word processing programs become ever more sophisticated, it is possible that our writing will become ever better punctuated as we become ever worse punctuators. That could be one effect of information technology, but IT, the great new language force, promises more.
The nineteenth century produced a great divergence in punctuation; the twenty-first century will see a great convergence. The American quotation gesture is two fingered because Americans use double quotation marks where the British use single quotation marks. American and British practices are opposites because of developments in the nineteenth century. Then a regularizing and generalizing of punctuation took place with the arrival of steam-driven printing presses and giant publishing houses. Conventions spread from London and New York, but they did not spread from New York to London or from London to New York. Beyond national borders, American dependencies followed New York and British colonies followed London. Canada alone got a complication of both styles. The Atlantic was a formidable cultural barrier in the nineteenth century. It is not in the twenty-first. No ocean blocks net writing; it comes from anywhere and everywhere and very much of it in English.
Chatters, bloggers, blaggers, emojists, emailers, moogers, texters and twitters use punctuation as decoration and cosh, but, though they produce the bulk of web writing, they do not set standards. Newspapers, publishing houses, organizations, companies, institutions, universities, agencies and governments post millions of pages that take punctuation seriously. On those pages, there is a drift towards the practice of the largest user group: the North American. Canada's conflict is disappearing. The Caribbean and Australia are becoming less British by the posting. Asian English long ago moved to American norms. That we will all be using American punctuation conventions in 2115 is very likely. That is neither a good thing nor a bad thing from the English Project's point of view. There is, however, a punctuation development that is more interesting, something suggested by present-day punctuation extremes.
A trend towards reduced punctuation can be seen among emailers. Some of them use no punctuation at all. Lax emailers, as I have already suggested, are not likely to become writerly role models, but something similar can be seen in experimental writing. Famously, the final chapter of Ulysses by James Joyce has no punctuation beyond two full stops. Joyce does uses capital letters but the poet e.e. cummings did not. In 2014, Will Self published a novel, Shark, that has no paragraph breaks. Self did it as a strike against what he calls the last Gutenberg generation. That's anyone over thirty, the last generation brought up on printed books. Self believes that print-bound Gutenbergers impose print values on the print-free Netizens. That's anyone under thirty, citizens of the net. Experimental punctuators generally remove rather than add. Self removes paragraph breaks. Cummings removed capital letters. Joyce removed everything but capitals. However, it is the net that shows the ultimate stage in punctuation removal. In the website address 'www.englishproject.org', you none of you will be surprised to hear that 'englishproject' is all one word in lower case. Web addresses are not just pre-Gutenberg; they are pre-Alcuin. Alcuin of York, remember, introduced the word space. It is the most fundamental of all punctuation marks despite the fact that it is not a mark at all. Will Self's next novel, he might want to call it Minnow, should remove not only paragraph breaks but word breaks as well. Minnow would be a huge streak of uninterrupted letters. Reading it would make us appreciate the work of the great punctuators from Saint Jerome through Aldus Manutius to Mary Norris.

Putumayo presents Dublin To Dakar [1999] & Fight Club OST
Dublin To Dakar,A Celtic Odyssey.
You know I like my Putumayo Collections. It's been a while since the last one and, I am pleased to announce, that today I found some of the more requested ones so I will actually be fulfilling at least a couple of requests!
Getting back to the album for today though..
This one is a strange mix of music but it works.
From the cover:
'African, Gypsy, Latin, Arabic, Indian, Scandinavian and Reggae elements are combined with Celtic music to create a unique, cross-cultural musical feast.'
I think that about covers it.
======part 1======
======part 2======
You asked for OST's. Well I don't have any. I did spot this link somewhere though so you might be interested..
Fight Club Original Sound Track.
All the links you see at that page..right-click them and save each one to your PC. It is simply a list of MP3 files.
(That was for the people who aren't complete nerd- computer heads with no life that don't know how to download a complete website whilst sleeping, encoding video files, uploading via ftp, logged into a shell account on telnet, scanning for a pub or wingate, ripping a DVD or playing around with some extravagant graphice program that is far too advanced for them and that they will never really learn how to use properly).
So what I am trying to say is, that advice was for all the people out there that aren't like myself
Well I have the POWER in my PROCESSOR so why not USE IT?
At this point the Nerdfactor goes right off the scale...........
The Triplettes of Bellville DVD-Rip to DivX (by me!) is coming this way really soon...............
This one reminds me of my last(MISTAKE) Girlfriend....

Surf forced through naturally formed air vents creates spectacular blowholes on the rocky, terraced southwest coast near Houma, 15 km from Nuku'alofa. From the end of the road, walk along the path to the right. Waves batter the coral cliffs and spout water up to 30 meters in the air through eroded tunnels. These impressive blowholes number in the hundreds—come at high tide on a windy day! Bus service from Nuku'alofa to Houma is fairly frequent and continues west to Fahefa.
Just east of Utulau a dirt road branches off the paved highway (and bus route) between Houma and Nuku'alofa via Pea and runs along the south coast. Three km along this dirt road is Keleti Beach Resort (presently closed), with more blowholes and several small but strikingly beautiful beaches and pools protected from the open sea by unusual coral terraces. You can snorkel among the brightly colored tropical fish in the large tidal pools at the foot of the resort, just be aware of the currents.
Keleti is down a road to the right, distinguishable from other similar roads by the electricity lines. As previously mentioned, there's no bus service east of the Utulau-Pea road, so you're better off coming by bicycle.
Also on the south coast is Hufangalupe ("Pigeon's Doorway"), a huge natural coral bridge with a sandy cove flanked by towering cliffs, six km east of the bird park and four km from Vaini, the closest bus stop. Make your way down the inside of the fault from the back to see the bridge and sea before you. As you return to the main south coast road, watch for a path on the left at the bottom of a slight dip, which leads down to a lovely white beach (beware of theft while you're in swimming).
