(SELLERSBURG) - Sellersburg-On Monday the Indiana State Police will hold a private memorial service for Indiana State Police K-9, "Kilo", who was killed in the line of duty on June 24th while searching for an armed suspect in Sellersburg.
The memorial service will begin at 1:00 pm at the Northside Christian Church, located at 4407 Charlestown Road, New Albany, IN. Law enforcement, family and friends of Kilo's handler, Trooper Nathan Abbott, are invited to attend.
The service will take place in the Centrum, which is an auxiliary room at the church.
His handler was Trooper Nate Abbott started working together in 2007.
Kilo was killed after a police standoff in Sellersburg with a former Louisville firefighter.
State police were serving a warrant in Sellersburg around noon Monday when Joshua Priddy, who had a gun, ran from officers. Officers were called to the home by Priddy's wife, who wanted police to help her husband because he was suffering from mental issues.
Clark County Sheriff Danny Rodden said officers chased Priddy, who had taken his two children, ages 16 and 4, from his home and left them in the backyard as he was confronted by police. Sellersburg police say Priddy pointed the gun at officers before he released his children. The children told police their father threatened to shoot them.
Priddy then ran to a home on East Delaware Court and kicked in the door. Police said Priddy lived in the area, but not at the home where the standoff took place.
Sellersburg Police had called for assistance and ISPTrooper Nathan Abbott along with his K-9 partner, Kilo arrived at the scene. Kilo entered the residence first followed by several officers and shortly thereafter there was gunfire.
Investigators said six or seven shots were fired in a back room of the home, where the Priddy was barricaded.
The officers retreated from the residence but Kilo did not exit. At this point a standoff ensued. Officers from several area police agencies responded to the scene and secured the area. Two Indiana State Police SWAT teams along with a Clark County SWAT team also arrived.
All afternoon negotiators attempted to establish dialog with the Priddy, who refused to respond to those attempts. Also during the standoff a robot with a camera mounted to it was deployed inside the residence.
The robot located Priddy inside the home however he fired several rounds at the robot disabling the camera. Priddy also fired rounds at officers outside the residence wounding a Clark County Sheriff's Deputy. The deputy was evacuated from the scene and flown to University Hospital in Louisville with non life-threatening gunshot injuries to his leg.
After it was determined attempts to negotiate with Priddy were not going to be effective SWAT teams deployed numerous rounds of teargas inside the home. At approximately 9:25 p.m. Priddy surrendered to officers ending the nearly 10 hour standoff.
31-year-old Joshua Priddy, of Sellersburg, was finally arrested and was taken to the Clark County Jail on charges of Attempted Murder of a Police Officer (Class A Felony), Causing the Death of a Law Enforcement Animal (Class D Felony), Burglary (Class B Felony), Residential Entry (Class D Felony), Pointing a Firearm (Class D Felony), and Criminal Recklessness with a Firearm (Class C Felony).
Police described Kilo as a well-known police dog that had been part of numerous drug busts.
The Indiana State Police has set up a fund in Kilo's memory - Kilo Memorial Fund. All donations will be used to support the ISP K9 program.

Commons Speaker to step aside during bullying inquiry discussions
John Bercow has denied claims he undermined his former private secretary.
Commons Speaker John Bercow will step aside during discussions on a probe into bullying of parliamentary staff, officials have said.
Mr Bercow faced criticism when he chaired a debate on the treatment of workers in the Commons despite facing allegations about his own conduct.
The Speaker heads a committee that will meet on Monday to look at plans for a "short, independently led" inquiry into the claims, but will recuse himself during the discussion.
MPs debated claims by BBC Two's Newsnight that women officials responsible for running the business of the House had been bullied.
The report included a claim that Mr Bercow shouted at and undermined his former private secretary Kate Emms, eventually leading to her being signed off sick.
Newsnight has learned of allegations that the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, mistreated an employee #newsnight pic.twitter.com/3qV8rtykGP— BBC Newsnight (@BBCNewsnight) March 9, 2018
Commons leader Andrea Leadsom said the claims were a "huge concern" and that everyone in Parliament "should be held to the same high standards".
Conservative James Duddridge questioned whether it was "appropriate" for the Speaker to remain in his seat during the debate "when there are allegations against him, which he is trying to suppress using taxpayer-funded money through sending out letters through Speaker's Counsel".
Mr Bercow has denied the allegations against him, as have the two other MPs named by the programme, Labour's Paul Farrelly and Conservative Mark Pritchard.
Liberal Democrat Tom Brake will chair discussions about an inquiry into the allegations when the House of Commons Commission meets on Monday.
A spokesman for the Speaker said: "Mr Speaker informed House of Commons Commission members this morning that he has decided to recuse himself from the agenda item concerning an Independent Complaints and Grievance Process.
"This item will now be taken first, with Tom Brake in the chair. Mr Speaker will join the meeting once this item has concluded and chair the rest of the meeting."

ALBION will demand #10million for want-away skipper Curtis Davies with Tottenham well ahead of the chasing pack but set to offer only half that amount.
The Baggies yesterday rejected a transfer request from the 22-year-old, who wants to move to the Premiership. But Spurs are "nowhere near" the asking price, according to a source, although no direct approach has yet been made.
Albion base their price on three key factors:
* Davies' fine season in the Championship despite two seperate broken foot injuries in August, which saw him miss five games, and again in March which saw him miss the final two months of the campaign.
* The #10million bid submitted last summer for Davies by Portsmouth.
* The #8million West Ham paid Blues for Matthew Upson last season.
Davies, who is represented by the PFA, held talks with chairman Jeremy Peace yesterday when no specific figure was placed on his head but it was agreed Albion would sell at "the right price".
Davies has three years left of a four-year contract he signed last year and will be stripped of the captaincy by manager Tony Mowbray, at his own request.
A source close to Davies said: "It is their prerogative, but do they want a totally committed captain leading from the front or do they want someone who will give 100 per cent but whose heart is not in it?"
Albion have known for a week or more that the request was coming. Davies's representatives admit that the transfer fee will be "substantial" but dispute the realism of a #10million asking price. The Baggies, though, regard Davies as by far their most saleable asset.
Mowbray has enjoyed a positive working relationship with Davies and is unlikely to allow the situation to fester. He said: "I admire Curtis as a player and a person and would very much like him to stay and lead the team next season.
"He is sensible enough to realise the price has to be right for us to even consider letting him go. I've always said I only want players here who want to play for the club but that doesn't mean to say we're going to let players walk away.
"In the past 12 months, precedents have been set where defenders have moved for big fees and we rate Curtis very highly."
Davies moved to West Brom from Luton Town for #3million in August 2005.
Luton would receive 15 per cent of any profit on the #3million he was sold for - another reason why Albion are asking for mega bucks.

The following article is by John Kimber, written for Before Its News, April 2012.
Are Alex Jones, Ron Paul, And Jesse Ventura, Freemasons?
What appear to be hidden Masonic symbols, and hand signs, have been spotted within the work of "Conspiracy King" Alex Jones:-
www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRNUT1N205E Alex Jones Freemason?
concen.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=44893 Alex Jones Hidden Symbols Signs?
www.whale.to/b/12_masonic_signs.html finger point, fist, forearms pyramid, etc
www.spirituallysmart.com/witch.html Is Alex Jones Casting a Spell on us?
It is interesting that many of the images posted in the above forum thread, were quickly removed from Jones'various web pages.
Is Jones a controlled opposition Freemason? Listen to his endless excuses and evasion, when he was offered a simple way to wake up Middle America (from 15m in):-
Jones is also the number one fan of presidential candidate Senator Ron Paul, another man who is suspected of being a controlled opposition Freemason:-
www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMg-q19RJck "Ron Paul Freemasonic Connections"
Perhaps former governor/actor/wrestler/navy seal Jesse Ventura could run for President, and save us from the "New World Order"? Then again, maybe not:-

Can anyone be trusted? You will probably have your doubts after reading this:-
concen.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=37547 Freedom Fighters Or Freemasons?
Returning to the title, are Alex Jones, Ron Paul, And Jesse Ventura, Freemasons? My opinion is that Jones and Paul are, and Ventura may be one also. If Jones is a Mason, his "Flu Coup" show may have been predictive programming:-
www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Ventura+police+state first 2m "Operation Blackjack" type attacks, targeted bio-weapon releases, and a second derivatives based financial collapse, may all be planned for 2012:-

As the new season of Downton Abbey begins television viewers who love to drink in the beauty of Highclere Castle and savor the stories of the characters played out beneath its roof can also enjoy a Downton-esque refreshment that's steeped in tradition.
The Republic of Tea recently unveiled Downton Estate Earl Grey Vanilla Black Tea, a limited edition tea which is the latest in a line inspired by the popular series. Available exclusively at Cost Plus World Market®, the most British of beverages–which is held within a tin decorated with a photo of Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess of Grantham (portrayed by Dame Maggie Smith)– is a blend of fine black tea, natural bergamot oil and natural vanilla flavor.
Fans of the series can also start their day the Crawley way with Downton Abbey Grantham Breakfast Blend. A container featuring the face of the Crawley family patriarch holds organic Assam black tea from India, flavored with organic ginger.
As intriguing as the trio of sisters whose photographic portrait appears on the tin's exterior, Downton Abbey English Rose Tea is a caffeine-free herbal blend of Nigerian hibiscus, rose hip peels, apples, stevia, natural raspberry, natural rose and vanilla flavors and rose petals.
For more information regarding The Republic of Tea's natural calorie-free, gluten free Downton Abbey-inspired teas (each containing 36 tea bags):

... well, it was going to be my top 5 from 2011 but... I couldn't decide on a shortlist and top 10 of 2011 rolls off the tongue better. So, without further ado, here's what I am waffling on about today! Each year I have a set of files on Lionel Laptop; Jan thru to Dec and in those files are photo's of everything I have made over the year. Not all of the pieces have made it to the blog (some are too naff lol) and at the end of each year I like to have a nosey through them to see how my style has changed, you can see what influences me and my creativity as the months roll by. So this year I have decided to chose my fave pieces... and here they are (in no particular order, except for #1, which is my favest)
Number 10
This was the very first T'Pouch that I made... it was a Sunday Stamper from Week 158 and the theme was Steampunk.
Number 9
Another Sunday Stamper entry, this one was for Week 167 and was White Lines... more Steampunkiness here... I can see a trend...
Number 8
Oh say it isn't so... yet another T'Pouch, this time for a Simon Says Stamp & Show challenge... and the theme was Steampunk... see, more Steampunk, anyone would think that I liked this!!!
Number 7
Ah, something completely different! My BFF Andrea had just had her hall and stairs decorated and hinted that a nice 12" piece would look loverly on the wall... so, how could I resist! I made a big old shadowbox, filling it with stuff personal to her... oh and this was another Sunday Stamper entry - week 160 and the theme was Words.
Number 6
Is another Tag... yes, I do lurve my tags lol This one is all bright and happy lookin (I seem to lean towards more muted colours so it was nice to try something different for a change)
Number 5
Another overloaded tag full of Tim-ness, this was an entry for SSS&S and the theme was Tim Techniques...
Number 4
More tags and more Steampunkery... this one was another challenge entry, this time for the fabulous Grungy Monday
Number 3
The gorgeousness that is Seedless Preserves Distress Ink had arrived in the Room of Stash and literally everything was being covered in it... including this tag, which was combined with Rock Candy Cracklepaint... even the flower has a coat of it!
Number 2
This has to be one of my favest... it was a giveaway T'Pouch for my 4th Bloggy Birthday...
Number 1
and finally... this is my favest thing I have made... ever! It combines my love of all things Studio 490 and Idea-ology with my fave colour scheme... and it hangs on the wall in the living room... It was my entry for the 150th Sunday Stamper which was "All You Need Is Love"
So there you have it... thanks for looking... I am off to search for Mojo... he is still AWOL and I is getting desperate lol TTFN

MYP Design Teacher
American School of Warsaw
My name is Bill MacKenty, and I teach middle and high school computer science and IB computer science at the American School of Warsaw. I also teach MYP design 6 and product design 1 to middle school students.
As a lifelong geek, I enthusiastically share my passion, energy and expertise about programming and computers. There is nothing more satisfying than watching a kid "get it". I've served as a senior leader in educational technology, and worked for many years in educational technology. What really floats my boat is teaching and coding.
I am a web-application developer, specializing in creating customized web-based applications that provide superb service. I develop and administrate on the LAMP stack, and I am experienced using Expression Engine.
I have been accepted into Georgia Institute of Technology Online Master's of Science in computer science program. My specialization will be in interactive intelligence. My area of interest is creating intelligent machine-learning based authentic assessment. There has been very exciting work done in this area by special research groups at Microsoft and Facebook. I truly believe only a professional educator can create the right kind of system in this space.
I am insatiably curious, devoted to learning, never satisfied, and always looking to improve. I am especially interested in supporting inclusivity in computer science.
Below I list salient details about my education, and professional development. This page is meant to provide "Bill at-a-glance".

The T3 Line of hair care tools are the most technologically advanced that money can buy and they use one ingredient to actually produce healthy hair. Tourmaline.
And who doesn't want greater, more manageable hair? Shed the winter dull and dry hair and try something that can actually produce a shinier, healthier looking hair. This one is a true gem! It's a bit more than you may expect to pay for a hair tool, but the life expectancy of the T3 product will guarantee your money's worth. I highly recommend it.

I simply can NOT handle caffeine. It spikes my anxiety and leaves me depressed. Last time I had caffeine was when I was doing my first work trip to Rockhampton, and even a cup of tea every morning seriously messed me up (of course it didn't help that some of the people I was working with didn't really get along and the fact that the position in Brisbane that I'd been promised had been given to someone else when I had given up the inaugural Lions Hall Of Fame ceremony to work towards my transfer - me, bitter? Nah). So why the obsession with adding caffeine to everything?
I can't go anywhere without seeing caffeine advertising or hearing about how everyone NEEDS caffeine. My co-workers worship coffee, my Instagram feed is full of empty coffee cups, energy drinks are everywhere and even your average iced coffee is now boasting having extra caffeine. Thankfully my friends are of the non-judgemental type, so I can still go out for a "coffee" and enjoy a hot white chocolate or a milkshake, but there are some people who look at you weird if you even think of ordering a decaf (which still has a nasty caffeine content still!). It's almost as bad as peoples obsession with alcohol (and don't get me started on how I'd love to ban that too!).
Look, have your caffeine addiction. Nurture it, enjoy it, share it with other addicts. But please, can't I at least have my Mountain Dew back?!
Pretty please?

The SMArt Devices and SMArt Systems Leader.
TZ fuses software control, remote locking and fastening, environmental sensing and real time dynamic analysis to enable unique devices to sense, act, lock and audit activity based on secure instructions delivered over the internet. This enables rich data collection and diagnostic abilities.
TZ Devices use proprietary Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuation to drive locking mechanisms. SMA actuation is a lightweight, solid-state alternative to conventional actuators. TZ Device intelligence comes from an embedded system that consists of a microprocessor, energy switching, and integrated sensors that monitor status.
Working together intelligently, a network of TZ Devices offers a secure environment providing a complete, real-time view of the state of that protected environment. The ability to track the behaviour of people, things and data through space in real-time provides enhanced situational awareness, allowing for the creation of more effective and efficient operating conditions and workflow practices.
Welcome to a New World of Connected People, Devices And Manufactured Objects.
Over the past decade, billions of people have connected themselves to the Internet via the computer and more recently, mobile devices. Today, that communication revolution — the most pervasive technology event on earth — is extending to objects as well as people. The 'Internet of People' has become the 'Internet of Things' (IoT), whereby virtually all objects around us can exchange information and work in synergy to significantly improve the efficiency of our businesses, the security of our assets and the quality of our lives.
TZ has been at the forefront of IOT research and development since 2004. Over the last 10 years, TZ's dedicated in-house development team (industrial designers, mechanical, electronic and software engineers) have assisted many companies in implementing their IOT strategies and applications. TZ's intelligent, remotely actuated Smart Locking Devices have been deployed in aerospace, military, logistics, IT and automotive applications.
Enabling a SMArter World.
4 Key Enablers
To enable connection to networks and large databases.
Integrated Sensing
To detect changes in the physical state of their environment and instruct response.
Processing Power
To enhance the power of the network through decentralized intelligence with the ability to react to external stimuli.
SMA Actuation
To enable alternative form factors and smaller devices in broad range of environments.

The Best and Worst of 2005
Lord knows we all love a good story, and Albuquerque is full of them. From political skullduggery to progressive development to social activism and poetic glory, we're up to our elbows in tantalizing tales. If you haven't been paying attention, or if your memory's starting to go with age, don't fear: the Best and Worst of 2005 is here.

Goodness gracious. I can't believe it's been almost two months since I started Floral Mess. I guess time flies when you're having fun, right? I'm almost a little impressed with myself for keeping it up regularly for this long, but I think maybe I should wait a few more months before I start feeling smug.
This post is inspired by the fact that winter and my ears are not friends. They, along with their buddy my nose, are the first part of me to turn ice cold when I decide to brave the outdoors during winter. What better way to stop this than with some trendy (and more importantly warm) winter headgear?

Half the Battle - 3 - Will of the Forsaken
All is well. I've simply noticed that the "One Shots" category, created to hold miscellaneous strips, was getting a bit crowded and I wanted to do some more "educational" content, so I made this new category and stuffed the previous "Learn 2 Play" Hunter and Mage strips into it. The sidebar on the right has also been expanded with the new navigation options.
Let the learning, err, continue!

This only has 4.3 on imdb, so im not sure if you are trolling. Care to explain why this movie will change my life? I just don't want to waste 96 minutes.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

A Shopping Expedition and a Hungry CaterpillarMonday, August 04, 2008
I now have my very own copies of World Sweet World and I am impressed. On our weekend shopping trip to the big smoke I was able to call in at Madam Fancy Pants to get World Sweet World. I had read about it and am stoked that it lives up to the hype with a number of new ideas and information about local-ish goings on.
Other local-ish news – The Sawmiller's Quiltery is getting in The Very Hungry Caterpillar fabrics. I ducked in to take advantage of pre-ordering and am looking forward to having my very own
Hunky Hungry Caterpillar fabric.
As far as the fabric budget is going, I don't think preordering counts and I can neither confirm nor deny money changing hands at the Global Fabric sale.

Hi AmyReplyDelete
What is 'World Sweet World' and where did you get it. I live in the Waiararpa. Yes the Globle fabric sale was the end of my 'buy no fabric this year'resolve too.
Ooooh, Global Fabrics sale. I might have to make a trip to Cuba St this weekend...ReplyDelete

That looks like a cool magazine. I wonder if we can get it in the US? And as for the fabric budget, pah, I say!ReplyDelete

5 Ways to earn daily income from blogging
If you are looking for ways to generate a daily income from blogging this article would briefly explain 5 ways using real life examples. But let me warn, this is not a guarantee, just because it worked well for some people doesn't mean it would work for you but all the same be inspired as you read about these 5 ways to make money daily from blogging:
Place Adsense Adverts on your Blog
Lisa Irby of 2createawebsite.com is one hell of a woman. She has a hustler's mind and has shown time and again that making money is a struggle that requires putting your wits and will to the ultimate test of making money – patience, long suffering and dedication. She makes more than $300 a day from her blog through adsense and that is not all, she is a successful affiliate marketer making cumulatively more than $20K a month from all her sources of income which include; Adsense, Affiliate marketing, selling her own e-book. But what exactly did Lisa do differently that others aren't doing? According to her you have to pick a niche and have a genuine interest in solving problems for people in that niche. Write articles about what you want to solve for people and keep at it. The money doesn't come overnight but remaining consistent is key to succeeding in this business. She sees Adsense and blogging as a real business and commits the same efforts as if it were a real business. Lisa actually started blogging while she had a regular job working the usual 9 to 5 but she had a passion which kept her busy after work while many like her would spend the evenings out with friends, she would be home writing, reading and researching topics for her websites. Today she has quit her job and lives exclusively on passive income from blogging especially adsense.
Promote your Skills/Services with your blog
Here a young Nigerian, 18 year old student makes a decent income monthly (averaging $5000) from promoting his services as a freelance writer. Oni as many of his fans call him is an example of a blogger who makes money promoting his own services. There are many things one could use a blog to achieve and it seems Oni is out to conquer the world of freelance writing. Firstly he says making money should not be your priority, rather making a name in your area of specialization. For Oni he is a specialist in guest blogging and this single attribute has gotten his name spread far and wide on the internet. Today he receives a lot of high paying blogging/freelance writing jobs that he doesn't need a regular job any more, in any case he is still a student. Oni started blogging in 2009 when he came across an article about making money from blogging. But it wasn't an easy route to travel, he spent months trying to make money from blogging but to know avail, luckily he had done over 300 guest posts on many websites which offered him a lot of exposure. Without knowing it, he was promoting himself, his writing skills and his blog all over the internet, today people contact him to write for them.
Using your Blog for Affiliate Marketing
Steve Pavlina of stevepavlina.com is one of the world's highest earning bloggers and most of his income comes from affiliate marketing. He used to have adsense ads on his blog but voted to remove them. One thing about Steve is his influence on his readers. He is an example of what you will call a well respected and trusted online friend. His writing style is honest, insightful and convincing which makes it easy for him to promote and recommend products for his readers to buy. He is a personal development coach and only promotes personal development products but besides this, he never recommends a product he hasn't used. Thus his readers are sure that he won't recommend a bad product, Steve actually has a lot to lose if he recommends a bad product to his readers and so you can be sure that once he makes the recommendation, his over 21'000 readers will have a viable product on their hands to pick up and from every sale made he gets an nice commission; not only his readers buy from him, even random visitors to his blog occasionally pick up some of the products he promotes. His monthly income is over $45'000 just from this one source alone.
Sell Advert Slots on your Blog
Darren Rowse of problogger.net is one of the world's leading authorities on blogging. Not only does he make a decent living from blogging but he is a major point of reference for people who want to start making money from blogging or want to succeed either in building a mass of web traffic or increasing the page rank of their websites. Today problogger.net is listed as one of the 50 most powerful blogs on the internet but that is not what we are hear to know. How does Darren make money from his blog and what is he doing differently? Darren makes money from his blog in at least 7 different ways I know of but paid advertisement is what I will focus on. He charges no less than $5 for job posts which could run for a single day, or days or weeks as the case may be of course the fees charged per post varies so Darren is making money on a per post basis with advertisements on his job board. With no less than 200 job posts per day you don't need me to tell you how much money Darren makes daily from his blog through adverts alone.
Sell your Own Product on your blog
Would it be fair to use one person twice in this article? I'll pick Darren again, he has so far sold several thousand copies of his ebooks through his blog, actually Darren has a post on how he made $72'000 in one week from sale of an ebook. Why wouldn't he do that anyway (I mean sell ebooks on his blog), if there is demand for the information he is offering and has a large enough audience to promote it to? Darren is both the publisher and writer of his ebooks which means extra income coming from those roles. He promotes them on his website, guess what? They sell real well.
Here are the obvious lessons these 5 examples of bloggers making money daily from their blogs have thought with their success stories
1) Specialize
Have you chosen a niche and are you the best or one of the best in that niche? Oni is one of the best guest bloggers in the world, Darren is a blogging authority, Lisa is an expert on teaching newbies how to create websites while Steve is an expert on personal development.
2) Be Consistent
How consistent have you been in your blogging pursuits? All the above listed bloggers have not stopped not even for one day even when they make a lot of money, it's a passion they can't do without, that's why they won't quit even when results are slow and unimpressive.
3) Build your brand/reputation through your blog
They have all built their reputations from their work and the biggest asset they have is the good name and expertise they can always fall on. If their blogs die today and they have to start afresh their reputation will open doors for them.
great article!!
yup blogging can make a good amount of money but it needs lot of Hardwork and determination ..article is useful
You did some great research to put this article together. Voted it up!
You may want to add John Chow to your list. He earns most of his income selling direct advertising on his blog. He also earns a lot of money writing reviews, sending tweets and selling his own (and other's) products.
Oh and Shoemoney.com.
Hub title should have been "5 Ways to Make Money from Blogging".

Hello lovely bees, well it finally happened on our 2 year anniversary, Sunday 27 April. My fiance proposed on the Giant's Causeway in Co. Antrim, N Ireland. He asked a fellow sightseer to take some photos of us, next thing he was down on one knee asking! I wasn't expecting it to happen then, I was so surprised and pleased. Ring is a 0.37 ct oval in 18ct white gold, I love it! Hang in there waiting bees, the wait is worth it I promise!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I agree, but where would you put something like the ĸ?It's still a character level mapping, although in that case there is no standard Unicode case mapping. In other words, if someone wants the K' representation in all-caps, they need to key that. Bear in mind that a) this is an obsolete orthography, so is only going to be encountered in historical documents, and b) case mapping isn't standardised.
I think it might be suitable as a stylistic alternate. Last year when I visited Germany, I saw a couple of store signs with a cap Eszett.
Secondly, because there are situations where the correct uppercase for ß is SS.
I can't imagine how such a situation could arise, given that the rules for how to use ß are case-agnostic.
The Glyphs tutorials recommend using CALT to replace ß by ẞ under all-caps conditions:
The Glyphs tutorials recommend using CALT to replace ß by ẞ under all-caps conditions
Stylistic alternate of what?An alternate of ß in an all-caps display font. Or should we put the ẞ in the ß position and leave it at that?
Similarly, the uppercase standard case mapping for ä used to be Ae. Luckily, the convention was changed when the availability of Ä became widespread. Personally, I'd rather my fonts went with the times than that they propagated an obsolete practice.The uppercase standard case mapping for ß is always SS. This is enshrined in both official German practice, as recorded in Duden, and also in Unicode case folding. The uppercase character ẞ is a variant usage, and was encoded as such, without case folding.
Small caps should have been handled by the c2sc feature only; the application first maps the text to uppercase then applies c2sc feature to it. This way the text transformation is done outside the font and does not depend on type designers handling all its subtilises properly or to remain up to date.
Similarly, the uppercase standard case mapping for ä used to be Ae.
Out of curiosity/ignorance, why is implementing it in CASE more wrong than CALT?
Khaled, this approach causes a problem with mixed uppercase and small caps. In the absence of smcp, the application would apply a faux small caps to lowercase or simply do nothing.
As I understand it, Khaled's suggestion, which is the same as numerous other people have made, is that it should be the job of the software to keep track of to which characters the smallcap styling is applied, then perform a buffered case transform before applying a single cap-to-smallcap feature. So the distinction between all-to-smallcaps and lowercase-to-smallcaps is a software feature, not a font lookup distinction.
Now, I think that's a sensible solution to a lot of situations, and would enable the contents of GSUB to be greatly reduced and simplified. But there are a handful of special cases — excuse the pun — where the glyph outcome of an all-to-smallcaps function and a lowercase-to-smallcaps function might differ — I'm thinking of things like hwair —, for which a rump smcp feature would remain useful.
And in Switzerland, ß is treated as a kind of digraph, not a single letter.The Swiss abandoned the eszett altogether, no?
Regarding why not to do the automatic conversion ß > ẞ, I found this additional data in a thread I saved from Typophile: ẞ was adopted in Germany, but not Austria or Switzerland (the info is from mid-2012). And in Switzerland, ß is treated as a kind of digraph, not a single letter.
This is insightful — nice to think that fonts may not need to be updated again to accommodate changing rules and expectations on that end.John Hudson said:PS. As use of ẞ increases, I can easily imagine word processing and page layout software introducing user preference settings to case fold ß to ẞ instead of SS
Wow, I had totally missed that part. So you're saying the substituted glyph should still be a ß by encoding?For the record, I do not recommend substituting ß (lowercase sharp s) for ẞ (cap sharp s) in between caps, but rather with a .calt variant of ß that looks OK between uppercase letters (i.e., usually a little wider and smaller).
Sorry for my lack of understanding, but I cannot see how to do proper formatting 2 without smcp.
Which would leave the user to first decide to use SS or ẞ and once they do that then the features take care of either sc conversion.
Yes, the decision to use
Related, doesn't most software transform ß to ẞ (if it is present in the font glyphset) when using an All Caps or Uppercase transformation rather than transforming ß to SS?

Levulan photodynamic therapy improves the texture and color uniformity of skin affected by certain conditions and diseases, such as acne, hidradenitis suppurativa and inflammatory rosacea, according to Advanced Dermatology. It can also improve sun-damaged skin and treat precancerous cells, known as actinic keratosis, before they develop into cancer.
Photodynamic therapy does not have any long-term side effects, notes the American Cancer Society. Doctors can repeat treatment on the same site as many times as necessary. There is also minimal to no scarring involved, which is beneficial because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Levulan photodynamic therapy for use on actinic keratosis on the face and scalp only.
After each photodynamic therapy treatment, actinic keratosis improves by 80 to 90 percent, reports Advanced Dermatology. After treatment, skin appears red and scaly, but this only lasts a few days, which is significantly less recovery time than needed for topical creams. Photodynamic therapy also does not leave the faint white scars that liquid nitrogen treatments can cause.
Unlike other skin rejuvenation treatments, doctors can combine photodynamic therapy with chemical peels, traditional photorejuvenation techniques and other therapies, states Advanced Dermatology. Patients can also combine photodynamic therapy with other cosmetic treatments, such as fillers, Botox and skin tightening treatments.

Thinking Out Loud: OVS and the Enterprise18 Oct 2012 · Filed in Musing
Over the last few days, I've been unsuccessfully trying to get Open vSwitch (OVS) running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.3 (as well as CentOS 6.3). The rationale behind this is that RHEL/CentOS are the sort of battle-tested, well-supported Linux distributions that enterprises will (and do) deploy in their data centers. OVS, of course, is central to the strategy and functionality of several network virtualization players and projects:
Midokura (more information here)
OpenStack Quantum
If you follow me on Twitter, you've probably noticed me talking about trying to rebuild source RPMs, running into all sorts of dependency issues, encountering errors when compiling, patching files, etc. I still haven't achieved success (yet), but I'm going to keep trying—for a little while longer, at least.
And this is what brings me to the central thought in this Thinking Out Loud post. I'm no expert—especially in this area, where I'm still learning more and more every day—but shouldn't projects like OVS just work with enterprise-class Linux distributions? I mean, if you're going to build network virtualization products that attempt to bring cloud computing-style functionality to enterprise networks, don't you kind of need a core part of your solution to work on the Linux distributions that enterprises will actually deploy? Yes, it's great that OVS ships with Fedora 17, and that it works (so I've been told, I haven't actually tried it personally). But what organization is going to deploy Fedora 17 to help support an important function like network virtualization? They won't. Doesn't it make sense for the developers behind projects like OVS to really pay attention to the distributions that are most likely to be used by their current (and potential) customers?
It really boils down to this: if OVS is going to see adoption in the enterprise, wouldn't it make sense to improve its support on enterprise-focused Linux distributions?
I'm new to a lot of this stuff, so I freely admit I that I could be just missing some key piece of information here. So help me out—what I am missing? What am I overlooking? Speak up below—all courteous comments are welcome.

The 2014 Maidenhead Half Marathon will receive some familiar support thanks to sponsorship from Genpact Pharmalink.
It is the fourth year the firm, based in the Vanwall Business Park, is backing the event.
"We are pleased to be associated with this great community event for another year," said its marketing manager, Jenny Claridge.
"The Maidenhead Half Marathon is an event that brings people together in the community.
"We are pleased to have links throughout the community and support such a great event for the area which attracts so many runners.
"We wish lots of luck to everyone participating"
The starter's gun will fire for the 13.1-mile race on Sunday, September 7, setting off at 9.30am.
Organisers at Purple Patch Running hope to attract at least 2,000 runners to limber up and take on the challenge.
The course attracts athletes from across the country and was voted third in the personal best potential category in the Runners World Races of the Year awards last year.
Its fast and flat two-laps begin at Maidenhead Town Hall in St Ives Road and runs through Boulters Lock and into Cookham before returning to the High Street.
Residents are also encouraged to come out and cheer on competitors as they make their way around.
"We are extremely thankful to Genpact Pharmalink," said Purple Patch Running director Chris Donald.
"It is nice that to be sponsored by a local company and we are keen to ensure (the race) retains a local flavour."
As well as the main race, there will be a one-mile mini marathon for ages 13-17 and a half-mile micro marathon for ages seven to 11.
Organisers have also appealed for people to join the team of volunteers to help marshal the main race.
Download a Race entry form
Chris Donald, head coach at Purple Patch Running, has put together a training plan for runners looking to improve their times.
The schedule runs for eight weeks - so you are already quarter of the way through. Keep it up!
This particular plan is for runners looking to finish the 13.1 mile course in less than two hours and 30 minutes.
Rest – Either have a complete rest from physical activity or do something non-weight bearing such as swimming or cycling
Easy – nice relaxed run at the pace indicated in the appropriate column. Could probably chat away if running with someone
Run/walk – short bursts of slow running mixed with walking – don't run until you are exhausted and then have to walk the whole way home. Jog or walk the whole time or distance.
The sub-1:30 and sub 2:00 schedules can be found on the Pharmalink Maidenhead Half Marathon race page.
If you have any doubts about your level of fitness it is advisable to check with your doctor before you undertake any programme of physical activity.
Most importantly, enjoy your training and have a great race!
Week 1 details here.
Week 2 details here.

Eonjin and Gyuseok. They run in the same circle, but they're uneasy friends. Gyuseok is the looser of the two cannons, for sure. He's one of the students who constantly sleeps, and last year we had a little altercation, when I woke him up and told him to sit up and at least take a look at the book for a minute, while I explained the assignment to him. He pushed my hand away, and when he looked up at my face in reaction, I saw on his face a crossroads -- admit he was wrong and apologize for pushing my hand, or stick to his guns? He made his decision and cussed at/in front of me (we were unable to come to an agreement about which it was, with my opinion being that it ultimately didn't really matter) instead.
Following the aftermath of that situation, Gyuseok still sleeps. All the time. But every time I walk past and pat him on the back, he sits up and yanks the book away from whatever student is closest to him (he never has his own) and tries to focus his eyes and nods and follows along while I walk him through a question or two. As soon as I walk away, he shoves the book back at the other student and face plants back down on the desk. But I appreciate the effort.
Eonjin is one of those who's a bit of a man already. And I don't mean just in body. There are some students who look at you in the eyes with a clear kind of logic that's not incredibly common at their age. Eonjin is that kind.
The bell had rung and I was busy setting up for class, and half-heartedly shouting for them to get into their seats, when I heard the usual profanity-laced nonsensical shouting shift a bit in tone. My head snapped up. Gyuseok was in the hall shouting through the window at Eonjin, who was in my classroom. Eonjin was still smirking, but Gyuseok's face was nothing but serious. A few more tense words were exchanged, and Eonjin's face changed. He went tearing out off for the hall.
Every other fucker followed. Three full classrooms' worth of them.
I knew straight off if I tried to touch Gyuseok at all, he was going to end up touching me in a way that he shouldn't, and the situation was going to escalate to a place it didn't need to go. I shouted at the other students to grab Gyuseok and got a hold of Eonjin instead.
It was an odd experience. Eonjin was looking past my face, hurling insults at Gyuseok, but when I called his name, his eyes would snap back and focus in on mine. He would smile, a bit embarrassed and say, "Yes, Teacher. I'm sorry. It's okay. I'm sorry, Teacher." And then his eyes would snap back to Gyuseok and his entire demeanor would change.
It wasn't strange because I've never seen it before, but rather because I have, on drunken male friends when I was in much the same position. It was odd to fall back into that old position, but with my students on the other side.
I've broken up more than a few fights since I started working here, but the students have usually been either around my size, or significantly smaller, sometimes so small that I could have easily just picked them up and physically removed them from the situation. Even my male friends who tend to occasionally drink too much, or the boys from my neighborhood back home, have always been around my size.
Standing between Eonjin and Gyuseok, I realized this wasn't going to be quite the same.
I glanced up and down the hall, and saw no one. The other students were doing a decent job of holding Gyuseok back, but had little to gain by pulling him fully away from the situation, thereby putting an end to the most exciting drama to occur all month. This was much more fun than sitting in class, where they should've been. I started slowly backing Eonjin into the classroom, but as Gyuseok realized his situation was getting away without resolution, he escalated his shouting and swears. Before I even knew what was happening, Eonjin had somehow slipped out of my hands like a fucking eel and, without so much as brushing against me, completely circumvented me to be standing face to face with Gyuseok.
Or he would have been, had not the tiniest female teacher in the school gotten there first. Eonjin almost slammed right into her.
In the confusion of the moment, both boys stepped back. The other teacher grabbed Gyuseok by the collar and told two other students to assist her in dragging him away. I got Eonjin by the shoulder and pulled him in the opposite direction.
And just like that, it was over.

Wow, that sounds tough. I'm still confused about what started the altercation, but it's crazy how quickly words can set people off at that age. I hope things are calmer for you soon....
On another note, I've seen in some of your posts that you have kids who don't want to settle down when they get in the class. I used to have that problem too. What I did was have worksheets or a prompt ready for them before the kids even come in the room, so they know to start on that without me saying anything, the minute they enter. Usually it's something quick that takes about 5-10 minutes to complete which they learned in the last lesson. Your school year has already started, so it might take a while for them to get used to it, but I know it works wonders for me.

What started was that during the break time they'd been out in the hallway flinging water from the water fountain on each other, and it went a bit too far. Gyuseok got angry, which Eonjin thought was funny, until Gyuseok went too far with the name calling, and then it turned serious.
Also, they're alright once I get them all actually in the classroom. It's just that doing so takes a good hard minute, because they're used to their other teachers coming in five to ten minutes after the bell, but I'm usually there a few minutes before. I've gotten used to that. Because the thing is, just as in this situation, even if I've got my boys all in the classroom, the two classes on either side are still running rampant and poking their heads in through my windows and shouting, because their teachers haven't shown up yet. It doesn't even get quiet enough in the building to even pretend to teach until five minutes after the bell.
They know it pisses me off, so most classes at least make an effort, but they're hardly going to be like, "Oh, today is Liz Teacher's class! Better stop practicing my break dancing moves in the hallway and get to my seat." It's a dream that will just never come true.

The Hazlitt Youth Theatre started life in September 1997 as a weekly workshop for 11-18 year olds. Since then, HYT has expanded dramatically and now consists of nearly 200 members, aged 6-18 years.
Each week members attend a workshop dedicated to the learning of different aspects of the theatrical world including; acting, performing arts, improvisation, devising, text work, theatre styles, film, stage combat, mime and a whole lot more besides. In recent times members have devised and produced their own work and learnt the basics of lighting and sound design.
All members are invited to take part in numerous productions and events throughout the year including theatre trips, both locally and into London to see professional productions. These trips can sometimes include a backstage tour of the particular venue or a workshop with some of the cast from that production.
HYT aims to provide an exciting and broad look at the imaginative world of theatre and gives young people a chance to form new friendships, gain in self-confidence and most importantly have fun. So if the theatre is something you are interested in, HYT is the place for you.
HYT produces a large number of shows and projects throughout the year. Previous productions includ
Here is what some of the members, parents and friends have to say about us:
"The talent and confidence shone through and made the evening the great success it was" Cllr. Mrs. Denise Joy, former Mayor of Maidstone
"HYT is extremely well organised, professional and great fun" Mrs. Green, Parent.
"During my time at HYT I have had a lot of fun! I have also learnt a great amount, not only about drama and the theatre, but also life skills that could only be taught at the Hazlitt. But the best thing...meeting a load of great people". Will Hodges - Current Member.
"There is nowhere else locally that has given me the great opportunities to perform on stage and in such a professional environment. I love being a member of HYT, it's such a brilliant place to be". Laura Fawcett - Current Member.
"HYT is like family to me, it's a place where you can feel completely at home whilst learning new skills but also having immense amounts of fun. The opportunities and the friendships I have found won't be forgotten in a hurry." Charlie Weston - Current Member.

I missed PantheaCon last year, because I was in hospital, so I was determined to make the most of going this year, and by golly, I managed it!
Firstly, with six of us travelling together, I decided to rent a behemoth of a SUV, the Ford Expedition EL Limited, which held allof our stuff and us quite comfortably. I've never been a fan of Ford, but this trip may have changed my mind, especially the Sync system. My wife loved the heated seats and the reversing camera.
There were a lot of obvious improvements at the 'Con... the Doubletree in San Jose had obviously heard the calls for more staff and better food, and as a result we only had to wait for a table once in the entire weekend. The menu had more choice, and issues were dealt with quickly.
As usual, we only made it to a fraction of what we intended to attend... and this year we didn't make it to any of Orion's workshops. "Reading the Stones and Bones" was good, informative, but did not match the description or even the title. The "Excorcism and De-Possession ritual" was a great concept that was somewhat lacking in execution, in my humble opinion. The idea was for folks to dance out their negative emotions, such as shame, fear, rage, greed, etc., which they did, but the transmutation into pure energy - and returning that energy to the people - was incomplete, leaving psychic "ick" in the room. There did not appear to be any warding (they may have done some that we didn't see, but it didn't feel like there was any).
The Avalon Ritual led by R J Stewart, on the other hand, was magnificent. RJ - looking very well and full of life - began by explaining the background to this rite, whic hwas to counterbalance the threat of nuclear energy, both in the form of reactors and bombs, describing it as star-fire in the wrong place. He recounted the role of his mentor (whose name I forget) and other adepts in starting this process, and then went on to explain what we were going to do.
It basically involved using the concept of the ley-line (as a line that joins two places/times through the center of the world) to place us all in connection with the ancient Shrine of Avalon. Note, we were not to visualize ourselves "going there", but rather to bring both here and there together in the now, a much more effective thing.
His partner Anastasia(?) effected this process by singing a haunting song, and his assistance brought in the quarters, and then they raised the Fire of Avalon beautifully and simply. RJ shared the birdlike flute playing he received in meditatrion, that would have been played in ancient time on flutes made from the bones of birds.
Apparently they originally intended to obtain representations of the Sacred Tols (sword, bowl, spear and plate) from vendors, but RJ wa inspired to use the actual invisible tools as energy forms, which we all lined up to hold over the sacred flame and then pass on to the next person. It became apparent to us all that the important act( and the one with all the power) was not the receiving of the tools, but the giving them to the next in line, and indeed, we finished by en-masse handing them off to the future students of the Mysteries.
A personal moment that was ver special was when I got to hold one of the tools over the fire myself - although all my coveners were in the same section of the room, and had therefore lined up in the south for the spear, our line was longer than the others, so at the end two of us got moved by Anastasia to the east and west, and as my wife and Priestess Linda held the spear over the fire, I held the bowl and Carrie, our circle sister held the sword, and a man unknown to us held the platter/oracular head, before handing them back to RJ's team.
Those who held the platter, with the Oracular Head upon it, reported that they felt as if the platter was empty when handed to them, and it was their own head that became the Oracular Head on the platter as they offered it over the fire.
All in all, a very moving ritual, that affected all of us profoundly.
Ofcourse, I also presented two workshops of my own. Both of them were well-attended, and I think they went over quite well. As usual, I got a little choked up sharing some of my personal stories in "Gods and Ancestors and the 21st-Century Crafter", but that is as it should be. My "Invocation and the Ancient Art of Ritual Possession" was packed, with people being turned away as the doors closed on a capacity crowd. Over 100 people put up with my jokes and witticisms, and then watched as I commited the supreme act of folly... demonstrating not one, but four distinct full possessions, using three different techniques. Admittedly, the possessions were kept short (I "had a word" with the deities concerned before-hand, to ensure they would allow me to do this and cooperate with the time), but they definitely kicked my ass... in fact I've spent large parts of the last two days dozing in an attempt to recoup my energy - though that could just be post-PantheaCon fall-out!
Lastly, there was the whole Z Budapest vs. the Trensgendered incident. I've spoken at length about this elsewhere, so I'll keep this short here. I must confess that I've never been a fan of Z, finding both her insistance on mixing politics and spirituality and her insistance that all women are victims and all men are rapists distasteful, but the level of bigotry and hate demonstrated against the trans community - suggesting that they are men trying to sneak into the women's rituals - was positively offensive. Some are calling for a boycott of PantheaCon over this, for allowing her Dianic rite, but I feel that Glenn and her team handled this with sensitivity, allowing both sides to have their say and their space. The Trans community and their supporters protested silently and respectfully, and Z responded with mor hate and misrepresentation... she could have been a GOP Presidential candidate!
So now the Con is over, we're all back home, at work, planning for next year. I got great feedback from my workshops, sold a bunch of books, and we have nefarious plans bubbling away for next year too.

Fall River, Mansfield, Freetown and the surrounding area is a lovely place to live and celebrate life's biggest moments. With gorgeous landscapes and lovely scenery, the many outdoor event venues in the area, as well as your own backyard provide a lovely space for hosting summer barbecues, Fourth of July parties, family reunions, graduation parties, and even outdoor weddings. While the weather might be your biggest concern for pulling the day off without a hitch, don't forget about the mosquitoes and ticks! At Mosquito Squad of Fall River area, we offer special event mosquito control that is guaranteed to make your outdoor event a pest-free enjoyment.
Spending time outdoors during the summer in Fall River means mosquitoes. It is one of the few prices we have to pay for such a glorious climate and landscape. They fly up and take a quick bite, leaving you with an itchy welt that has you smacking at every little tickle the rest of the evening. Don't let this happen at your special outdoor event. And don't think that handing out cans of stinky spray is a good solution for your guests. Mosquitoes will view your special event as a feast, making it more important than ever that you get Mosquito Squad on your side.
When you hire us for your special event mosquito control needs, our certified technicians will treat your entire event space with our best-selling mosquito barrier control. You'll enjoy an odor-free, residue-free barrier that keeps the pests away for the entire day and well into the night and beyond. Your guests will never think twice about mosquitoes, while they're busy enjoying the day's activities.
Maybe less annoying in the moment, ticks can also be a dangerous party crasher in the Fall River area. Ticks don't stay in the deep woods, they often come out and hang out along retaining walls, fence lines and in medium to tall grasses. If you're throwing a wedding, it is quite likely that an old barn or stone wall makes a perfect scene for photographs and a perfect feast for ticks. Our special event treatment will protect your guests from tick bites that could lead to tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease.
Treating the entire lawn, and all of the shady, moist places at your event venue will allow you to know that your guests can enjoy the full span of your gorgeous venue and party activities without a worry or care.

text: Digital In Town for Dancing with the Stars, Baltimore News Anchor Gives Canters High Marks By Richard Horgan|March 22, 2013Share By Richard Horgan|March 22, 2013Share Kelly Swoope (pictured), a 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. news anchor at ABC affiliate WMAR-TV in Baltimore, is safely back from LA. But not for long. She will be flying out again soon to continue her on-site coverage of "Charm City" Dancing with the Stars contestants Jacoby Jones and Dorothy Hamill. Swoope has posted a funny little summary of her first trip to the City of Angels. It's a write-up that will have the proprietors of a certain Fairfax Ave. establishment smiling: Los Angeles is a very interesting city. There is a lot wealth, fancy cars, nice clothing and bad plastic surgery. However there are a lot of normal, working class people too. We had dinner at Canter's restaurant in LA. It's been around since 1931. Our waitress Maria was one of the nicest people we met while we were there. It wasn't a fancy restaurant. It reminded me of the diners that you see in Baltimore like the Double T and Bel Loch. There was no glitz or glamour, just a good old-fashioned patty melt with sweet potato fries. Jones is paired on the show with Karina Smirnoff while Dorothy Hamill is dancing with Tristan McManus. Jones is also one of several DWTS contestants guest-blogging for the LA Times about his DWTS experiences. Today, he told Sports Now editor Houston Mitchell that although his mom is his number one fan, she also thinks the record-setting punt returner needs "to improve on my posture in order to execute with more precision." Update – 03/22/13: Canter's appreciates the love. Here's a tweet from their end in the wake of our article: Share http://adweek.it/2kM8KMe copy Adweek Adweek

The celebrated landscape of Cumbria and North Lancashire is subject to greatly increased pressure to accommodate significant levels of energy and communications related vertical infrastructure ("VI") – most notably wind energy development and the biggest project the National Grid have undertaken in 40 years: the North West Coast Connections (NWCC) project, to connect a new nuclear power station.
The purpose of the study was to consider the cumulative impact of VI development holistically and to establish the current levels of impact being experienced across the area, in order to inform decision making on future development proposals. It was to build upon existing local landscape character guidance for the landscape baseline and to follow industry standard best practice approaches, providing guidance for planning officers on applying the assessment in practice, when considering proposals for vertical infrastructure and the need to conserve these special landscapes.

Both 360° and 3D are video formats that offer immersive experiences to its viewers. The EU-project »Hyper360« aims to introduce a new Free View Video (FVV) format by developing a 360° media production toolset. With converging 360° and 3D, the FVV format extends current short film productions with novel and powerful storytelling opportunities. The final goal is to offer a complete solution for the OTT media sectors to capture, produce, enhance, deliver and consume this format. Video content will be offered with additional audio-visual functionalities and adapted according to the viewer's preferences.
This will be achieved by the following tasks:
- Increasing the quality of 360° video capturing.
- Enabling the production of 3D narrative content, by capturing in 3D the narrator's appearance and performance.
- Annotating 360° video with dynamic placeholder objects as well as media hyperlinks.
- Fusing the annotated 360° video and 3D storytelling into a new free viewpoint format.
- Implicitly extracting and modelling user preferences to personalize the viewing experience, both on the long-term as well as with respect to contextual circumstances.
- Recommending both converged media content items and content narrative cues
Hyper360 will be built on top of existing technological expertise on 360° video, most of which has been gained within previous European projects. Hyper360 aims to fuse the consortium's expertise and innovate accordingly, addressing the IPTV and VR markets.
