text: Dressed not in his green fatigues but in a white Adidas track suit with red and blue stripes, Fidel Castro posed for photographs -- apparently over the weekend, though it's hard to be sure -- holding up a copy of the official newspaper Granma to prove he had survived to his 80th birthday. "Absolved by History," said the front-page headline, and it was hard to read the phrase as anything but the perfect, almost inevitable, exit line. Castro's first attempt at revolution was a raid on Santiago's Moncada barracks on July 26, 1953. Bad planning and amateurish execution led to failure, and Castro was captured and put on trial. Before going to prison, he gave a famous courtroom speech in which he made what seemed a hopelessly quixotic prediction: "History will absolve me." So now, half a century later, an old man claims his absolution. The invocation of that historical touchstone would be enough by itself to suggest that Castro believes his era is at an end, but his birthday message to the Cuban people left even less room for doubt. He confronts a long and risky recovery, he wrote, and Cubans should be "optimistic, and at the same time always ready to face any adverse news." Hours after the photographs and message were published, Castro's brother and designated successor, Raul, made his first public appearance as acting head of state, meeting Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez at the airport. Castro has been ailing for two weeks now, but Sunday felt like transition day. Even if Castro survives this crisis, it is hard to imagine he could ever reclaim the unquestioned dominion he has exercised over Cuba for the past 47 years as leader, micromanager, theorist of revolution and ultimate authority on everything. As long as he remains alive, though, it is hard to imagine anyone, even his brother, taking Cuba in a new direction. All the hopes and fears invested in the advent of a post-Fidel era may have to be deferred. For now, we can just examine the claim Castro made from his hospital room. Should that headline have read, "Absolved by Himself"? One theory is that he's simply an old man who made a mistake a long time ago and is too stubborn to admit it. The mistake, of course, would be communism. My problem with this analysis is that it requires the old man to have at least the shadow of a doubt, and I don't think Castro does. I think he may be the last of the true believers. I've been to Cuba nine times, and not even the dissidents believe that Castro has done a Baby Doc or a Mobutu and stashed millions abroad in numbered bank accounts. People who see him socially have told me he lives far better than most Cubans (which isn't saying much), but not at all lavishly. Forbes magazine claimed last year that Castro is worth $550 million but based that on the value of "state-owned assets Castro is assumed to control." I thought that was tendentious. Controlling state-owned companies isn't the same thing as robbing them. I used to wonder why Castro, assuming he was never going to allow multi-party elections, didn't at least follow the Chinese leadership's example and open up the economy while retaining absolute political control. Despite the U.S. trade embargo, Cuba's moribund economy could have blossomed. But Castro reportedly was appalled by what he saw in modern China -- a growing gap between rich and poor. When the Cuban economy collapsed in the 1990s, Castro allowed just enough private enterprise so that people could survive. Once things got better, he took it all back. It finally dawned on me that Fidel Castro likes Cuba the way it is, a glorious shambles with myriad inefficiencies and problems. Reform-minded Cuban officials used to whisper to me that soon there would be a private market in real estate, but Fidel would never allow it. I think he likes a system in which everyone has a roof, though it's leaky, and surgeons live next to bricklayers in crumbling tenements. Most Cubans aren't allowed to buy new cars, even if they have the money. I used to think this was just a method of control, but I came to believe that Castro probably smiles when he sees the fortunate few who do have cars stopping to pick up the hitchhikers who gather at almost every major intersection. The scene brings the communist ideal to life: "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." The old man in the tracksuit made a mistake. But I think he'll die without ever believing that, let alone admitting it. Eugene Robinson is a columnist for The Washington Post. His e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: A research study was conducted at the National Research Council of Canada to evaluate the effect of different parameters on the performance of emergency ventilation systems in the event of a fire in a section of a road tunnel. The parameters included: tunnel cross-section width and height, tunnel slope, fire size and location, meteorological conditions, and modes of fan operation. The study aimed at assessing the ability of in-place emergency ventilation strategies to control smoke spread and minimize its impact on tunnel users using both numerical and experimental approaches. Four field fire experiments and eight numerical simulations were conducted. Based on the study results, recommendations were made to optimize the ventilation strategies in the tunnel section. This article describes the conducted in-situ fire tests and presents test measurements used to provide the initial and boundary conditions for the numerical simulations.

Microsoft patches 15 IE vulnerabilityBy Thomas McGuire
Just noticed over on PivX Solutions that Thor Larholm has made a (delayed) update regarding the latest Cumulative IE patch posted a while back;
Microsoft released the MS02-066 cumulative patch on November 20th, fixing 15 unpatched vulnerabilities. The updating of this listing was delayed due to a foreign visit to London, followed by a series of technical problems.
Out of the 17 remaining vulnerabilities 6 are still of a severe impact, where as some of the rest can be combined for additonal severity. It is still possible to execute arbitrary commands, read local files & do anything the user can otherwise do to his machine.

Is it a declaration of freedom or a note of defiance that leads the Switchboard Music Festival to proclaim, "No other Bay Area music festival or concerts series offers such an eclectic, genre-crossing, convention-breaking, bastardizing group of experimentalists, innovators and musical omnivores in a single event"?
Whatever the case, the Switchboard Music Festival's nonstop eight-hour marathon at Dance Mission Theater on Sunday features some of the Bay Area's most original music performers.
Rock, contemporary, classical, jazz, New Music, klezmer and lots more will find new expression, as artists whose work shatters neat little boxes synthesize multiple musical genres into daring new modes of expression.
Ryan Brown, currently a composition student at Princeton University, started the festival in 2008 with two fellow Bay Area boundary-breakers, clarinetists Jonathan Russell and Jeff Anderle.
As he explained by phone from his new base in New Jersey, "We created the Switchboard Music Festival because we felt there was nothing in the Bay Area that brings all these different groups together. We don't think of ourselves as a new music festival; we instead think across many different genres."
The festival lineup, which includes bass clarinet duo Sqwonk performing one of Brown's aggressive, minimalist compositions, lists at least 10 performers or ensembles and 10 living composers.
Composer Luciano Chessa, for example, will offer chamber songs that draw on rock and Italian hip-hop. Composer Cornelius Boots of Oakland, who performs in a heavy metal bass clarinet quartet called Edmund Wells, will debut a new work that explores tumbrel shadings using very large gongs, overtone singing and shakuhachi flute.
Ensemble Thorny Brocky, created by Aaron Novick, will perform music from art song/pop band Floating World, clarinet metal band Simulacra, minimalist chamber improv group Crafty Apples, indie rock/experimental improv band Love Triangle Elementary School, and lord knows what else.
Next to them, pianist Kate Campbell, who specializes in late 20th century and contemporary works by leading composers such as Terry Riley, Steve Reich and David Lang, sounds positively old-fashioned. Which is anything but the case.
Are you ready for Sabbaticus Rex, an ensemble rooted in the supremacy of sound over music, and the triumph of tone over time and thought?
How about David Klein and Nick Woolley's Billygoat, which performs live, original scores to their own stop-motion animated shorts? The only group in the festival from outside the Bay Area, their music is very mellow, textural and melodic, with an element of fantasy that matches the nonlinear flow of their animated tableaux.
And Zoe Keating (pictured) layers cello with electronics while dancing over pedals. You've got to be there.

A Life With Actual Knitting In It
Note from Sandi: Welcome to my little corner of Knitting Daily! Every Thursday, I'll be sharing stories of my knitting adventures, as well as some tips and tricks I've learned along the way. Thanks for coming by!
It's been a bad week for knitting in Ye Olde Wiseheart House. Sock Summit left me gloriously mind-boggled with new techniques, new yarns, and new friends. However, the day I arrived back home, it was ten days until Moving House Day—and since then I've found myself wielding a tape gun and Sharpie rather than a spindle or knitting needles.
At night, when the packing is done-for-the-day, I've been too weary to keep the needles moving. In the evenings, more often than not, I've looked down at the knitting in my lap only to discover that I'm merely holding the needles in my hands, yarn loose at my side. Twice, I've fallen asleep in my chair with my knitting needles cradled in my hands like some sort of talisman against bad dreams. Other times, I stow the knitting away…but my hands then wander and fidget and fuss, as though seeking solace from the needles that are usually their constant companions.
I miss my knitting.
I typed that sentence, and re-read what I wrote…and it stopped me cold. What am I doing here? Why am I living a life so crazy with moving and writing-about-knitting-for-work that there is so little space for actual knitting in it? After all, I'm boxing up my house, not my heart. Knitting is far more to me than just a paycheck; knitting feeds my spirit, relaxes my mind, calms my body, and helps me stay sane in a rather insane world.
Pretty important stuff to be giving up on, don't you think? And yet…I bet I am not alone. How many of us knitters (or spinners or crafters of any sort) give up our crafting time when the world presses too closely around us, demanding more and more of our precious energy, like an overgrown (and rather spoiled) toddler? Usually, our beloved crafting time is one of the first things to go when our to-do lists start exploding…
I suppose that would make sense if knitting was "just a hobby," as so many people might say. I don't know about you, but that word "hobby" stopped applying to my knitting and spinning probably within the first day of learning to do the knit stitch or draft that marvelous fiber out into yarn. From that day forward, I was in love—and love in all forms helps keep us healthy and strong for whatever else life might toss at us.
So this evening, after having a little talk with myself, I put down the tape gun and went in search of my little black Bolero project, the one from Interweave's book Feminine Knits, and promised myself one uninterrupted hour of knitting time as medicine for my cranky, tired, yarn-hungry heart.
In that one hour, I worked 29 rows, all in all—one-third the way through the right front piece. Such a small thing, and yet I feel a bit clearer, a bit more feet-on-the-ground, a bit more ready to face the moving truck.
Making time for knitting every day (or spinning, or whatever yarnly craft has stolen our hearts) isn't just making time for ourselves in a selfish sort of way—it's making time for that which nourishes our hearts and hands, ensuring that we then have the strength to lend those hearts and hands to others as our crazy lives demand.
I'm off to do a few more rows before bedtime now, late on Tuesday night. On Thursday, as you read this, and as we load up the moving truck, my knitting will be on the kitchen counter, ready to have a few stitches worked in tiny stolen moments, to keep my heart fed during a busy, crazy day. I hope you also find time to nourish your own yarn-hungry heart this week.
Knit with joy (as shall I!)…
– Sandi
Next week: If I haven't been eaten alive by self-multiplying zombie moving boxes, I'll try to write a little on what I learned about wrangling a lace pattern as you add or decrease stitches. I found a couple tricks that work for me, so maybe they'll be of use to you, too!
P.S. Let me know what you think! You can leave a comment below or even email me at [email protected].

|You know, it's about time I decided to be a nice fucking guy for once.So i convinced Ugs to pick up a die-hard Bang Bus fan by the name of Dylan. He had been writing us e-mails and shit begging us for a chance to be put on. so we promise to pick up this groupie of ours as long as he stops fucking annoying us. After we pick him up, we proceed with the hunt and find what seemed to be a willing slut sweeping up dirty condoms and used cracked pipes. They were probably all hers anyways. So we convince this bitch to put down the broom stick she uses to fuck herself in the ass with and show her how things are done in the U.S. Now this bitch was fucking money! Her little immigrant cuban accent was about the only thing interesting on this whore. Our groupie Dylan even proves he's a fan by doing classic BangBus moves on this slut! After we were done with this bitch, she was probably wishing she was still back in cuba! Enjoy... The Diry One

I was really afraid that the products that I really wanted would be sold out since I'm on PST and had stuff to do. It was so awesome to come to MFT and fill my cart up almost instantly without waiting for insane wait times while the product that you want sells out. Your store is so user friendly and I am so happy that I came in late in the game and got every single thing I wanted and nothing was sold out! Thank you so much MFT for anticipating the demand and meeting the needs of your customers. I'm in for life Kim.
I wish I would have known how you bundled the new inks and refills before I clicked on every single one of them, but thank you for the bundles and the next time I will check. I need to stop working so much on assignments and having more fun with my MFT Stamps of something that I want to create rather be assigned, and I am very grateful for my jobs.
Kim, you're the best and your DT is the best too. I'm hoping to enter some challenges very soon and become more of a part of MFT and get to know those of you who I don't already know. Jackie and I can talk about our Dachshund puppies! You ladies are wonderful and work very hard to bring us cutting edge and innovative products every single month. Everything designed is new, not revised so that all of my stamps are looking a like.
You are all just wonderful ladies and I appreciate your talent in sharing and inspiring me.
Blessings to you all.

It was brilliant! I was sitting on the floor in the lounge (our furniture has still not arrived) and I thought someone was driving a bulldozer in the back garden and making the wall shake - then I thought it must be a very large underground train. Then I remembered we weren't in Brussels anymore and realised it must be an earthquake. The girls unbelievably failed to notice anything as they were to engrossed in Barbie singing on the TV.
It occurred at 5.16pm and was magnitude 4.1 - so not that big but still noticeable. Apparently there are 15000 earthquakes in New Zealand each year but only 250 are big enough to be felt. So I am looking forward to the next one - as long as its not larger than magnitude 6!

Our First Earthquake in Wellington

I'd forgotten that NZ is one of those places that lies on the back of a sleeping dragon. Obviously this one is always chasing cats and having a gentle scratch in its sleep. Idris the Welsh dragon asked me to send his regards!ReplyDelete

There have been several since then, apparently.ReplyDelete
I always take a look at www.geonet.org.nz to find out the magnitude and location of each earthquake.
We've been here 3 months and only felt one each, however.
Thanks - that website looks good.ReplyDelete
I'm a bit annoyed as my husband keeps ringing me up from his work in Wellington city to ask if I've felt the latest earthquake which I usually haven't. Out here in Whitby we don't seem to feel them very often. Most annoying.

Installing Apache2 as an Service
Syntax error on line 1 of D:/server/xampp/apache/conf/perl.conf: Cannot load /xampp/perl58.dll into server: The specified module could not be found.
Then it shuts down. The funny thing is, perl58.dll and mod_perl.so are in the correct place and the perl.conf points to them correctly. If I comment out "Include conf/perl.conf" in the apache httpd.conf file the apache service will install correctly.
Anybody know what the problem is?
UPDATE: In the irc channel I was told that you cannot install xampp to a path with the word "server" in it. I re-installed xampp to d:/dev/xampp and perl installed without any problems.

Malaysia Airlines considers name change
MALAYSIA Airlines, whose flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine 10 days ago with the loss of 298 passengers and crew, has begun a strategic review that is likely to result in a change of name and a radical overhaul of its business.
The Malaysian government-backed airline, which has suffered the loss of a second airliner in less than six months, is undertaking a major review of its operations.
Work has begun on restructuring the airline to fly profitable international and domestic routes and to increase outsourcing.
Fairfax Media reports sources have indicated the review was likely to lead to additional private investment for the airline, possibly from rival aviation companies.
The review is being led by the Malaysian government, the majority shareholder, and follows the downing of flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine and the unexplained disappearance of flight MH370 in March. MH370 was travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and lost touch with air traffic control on March 8, an hour after take-off. carrying 239 passengers and crew.

Bathrobe is one item which can be used in multiple ways. Whether you are using it for the daily shower regime or casual lounging after a luxury spa, it works really well with all the moods and requirements. Though most of the companies have a designer range of luxury bathrobes, but it is very essential for a person to know the facts about bathrobe fabrics which can result in a complete comfort.
Determining the right fabric for bathrobe is necessary whether you are buying it for personal use or a luxury gift. Though there are numbers of fabrics available in the market, but one must learn to make a right selection by picking up the fabric which is best suited for their body and style.
Have a look at the designs and fabrics and other facts related to bathrobes.
- For the basic and first time user of a bathrobe, one must select cotton or terry cotton as they are the most absorbent fabrics. They are mostly used for the purpose of towelling off after a shower. 100% cotton bathrobes are absorbent in nature and keep you dry if you choose to indulge in lounging in warmer months.
- Another fabric that looks really classy and has a natural sheen is silk. Any bathrobe made of silk will surely give you a classy feel and often used after a luxurious spa session. Silk is difficult to take care of hence getting it dry cleaned is always the best option. Keep your silk bathrobes away from harsh detergents and machine washes.
- In case you are looking for a plush and luxurious feel, opt for Turkish cotton. It is not only luxurious but super comfortable and has a natural brightness to it. Although most companies go for Egyptian cotton in bathrobes, but Turkish cotton is also favoured by a lot of clients for its light weight material and natural sheen. Most of the times Egyptian cotton will remain wet in a humid climate, but Turkish cotton has the tendency to remain dry in the humid season as well. Turkish cotton will be extremely plush and will not take more time to get dry.
- Another factor while choosing the bathrobes is taken as the size. You must opt of the appropriate size for a comfortable feel. Usually they come in 3 sizes. Short, long and mid-calf. It is completely an individual's choice as to which size they want to have. You may consider your size basis the season and personal choice regarding length. Most of the kid's bathrobes come in one size and usually made with cotton fabrics.
Luxurybathrobes are mostly a necessity for the people who have a regular gym, spa and swimming regime. Depending upon your requirement and usage you must select a bathrobe which can fulfil the entire requirement as keeping too many at the same time doesn't make sense. Always keep the choice, colour, fabric and seasonal requirement while choosing a perfect bathrobe for yourself or gifting purpose. Try to opt for cotton if it is in daily use as silk is more of a style but has less comfort than cotton.

Spin at Bonnaroo
I almost never write reactive pieces, but I gotta do this.
I got frustrated with them a couple weeks ago when they said Black Lips and The Selmanaires are Athens bands. No, they're not. I chalked it up to confusion when their writer incorrectly reported songs White Stripes played at Bonnaroo. But further reading has me even more befuddled.
According to the writers at Spin, it seems every performance at Bonnaroo was the bestest thing ever. Are they incapable of objectivity or decent music criticism? I know I'm only an amateur at such things, and claim nothing more. I'm a social scientist who maintains this goofy blog on the side. I realize that I can fall into fanboy mode when discussing some bands, an affliction that is admittedly far too common among we music bloggers. But really, shouldn't professional music writers be capable of leveling criticism at some band at a four-day festival? I didn't follow their Coachella or SXSW reporting, so I have no idea if this has been a persistent issue. Did they just assign writers to cover artists whose posters are tacked to the ceiling above their beds? I suppose not, or the fact-checking would have been better.
You can read a selection of Spin's reporting from Bonnaroo on their site.
On The Police:
...the fact the Police, a group of three strong-headed individuals who vowed never to regroup after their 1986 breakup, was on stage, in the middle of farmland Tennessee, was simply enough. Hands down my favorite gig at Bonnaroo. Say what you will about reunions. This one ruled.
A band showing up is not enough. And although it was good, I can't imagine saying that set "ruled." They played a nice set with some pretty hit-or-miss improvisation and production values well below those of the other headliners. I'd put it in the top one-third of shows I saw at Bonnaroo, but that's about it.
On Tool:
...shrieking album-worthy recreations of classic tunes such as "Ænema" and "Stinkfist" as well as new tunes [emphasis added - Rich] like "Lateralus," "Schism," and a handful from the band's latest record, 2006's 10,000 Days.
Um, "Lateralus" and "Schism" were released in May 2001. You know how I know that? I've had that CD since its release, and I just spent five seconds on Google. "New"? No.
On Wilco:
The band, taking the main stage amidst a ravenous, packed audience...
Patently false. One of the more sedate crowds I saw at the festival, and definitely the smallest at the main stage. Not sure what the author saw from his "backstage perch" but that wasn't it.
On Sam Roberts Band:
Perhaps best of all, it was clear that the band was having just as much, if not more, fun than anyone. As the set closed with the ten minute epic "Mind Flood, " it was apparent that we had all just witnessed an indisputably Bonnaroo worthy performance.
Unbelievable. Least original or interesting band I saw all weekend. I'd agree the band was having more fun than I was, absolutely. The "indisputable" claim is absolute hogwash. I teach my students not to use such absolutes in their writing; you'd think professional scribes would know better.
I know it's easy to pick on Spin and their ilk, so I won't dwell on this any further. But really, what a horrid excuse for music journalism. By the way, starting an article by bragging about your level of access and love for your subject doesn't really add much.

A $2 million settlement for the Ohio caged kids case has been reached as eleven children who were forced to sleep in cages by their adoptive parents seek closure.
While the agreement still needs a judge's approval, the $2 million settlement will end a series of lawsuits that stem from 2005. The children, ages ranging from 1-14-years-old, were taken out of the abusive Norwalk home in 2005.
The adoptive parents, Michael and Sharen Gravelle, spent only two years in prison for their abuse. According to the Gravelles, the cages were meant for the children's protection if they acted up or were self-destructive.
Since they have been taken out of the Gravelle's care, all eleven children have been placed into foster homes. Two of the children have gone off to college.
While the outcome of the events have benefited the children financially, attorney Jack Landskroner said that scars from the incident still haunts the children:
"These kids were good kids. It's amazing the positive results you see on children who are placed in a loving, caring home."
There have been numerous settlements with the Ohio caged kids case. While this settlement is the largest amount, Stark County will pay only $100,000 while the rest of the money comes from its insurers. The $2 million payout is an addition to the $1.2 million settlement in 2010 from Huron County.

Survey: Do You Disable Your Smoke Alarm When You Cook?
Like many apartment dwellers, we have a flimsy microwave fan above our stovetop. It does nothing to suck away the smoke that comes with browning chicken breasts over high heat. If we roast a chicken in the oven, well, lord help us.
No number of open windows or waves of a broom in front of the smoke alarm keeps it from going off — early and often — while things roast in our oven. So we take the batteries out. And sometimes forget to put them back in.
Yes, yes, we know that's not safe. But disabling it every time we want to cook chicken? Ergh.
We found one alarm that has a promising feature, below the jump.
This First Alert alarm, above, has a mute button you can push when it goes off for reasons other than mortal danger. But we wonder if it would just sound again after a quick, muted pause, keeping you running from kitchen to hallway over and over.
Has anyone used an alarm with a mute button?

Oscars: Double Nominees for 'Unbroken' and 'Birdman' Provide Contrast in Sound Mixing Categories
Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman soared at various crafts awards ceremonies this past weekend, including a win for director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki at the American Society of Cinematographers Awards and the win for the sound-mixing team at the Cinema Audio Society Awards.
Two of the winners of the CAS Award — rerecording mixers Jon Taylor and Frank Montano — are also double Oscar nominees this year, for Birdman as well as Angelina Jolie's Unbroken. The pair have been working together for the past two years at Universal Sound, where additional collaborations include Fast & Furious 6 and the upcoming seventh film in the franchise.
Of the double nomination, Montano says it's "a truly amazing feeling, and the films' [mixing styles] contrast each other, and we are very proud of that. Unbroken is considered traditional, and on the flip side Birdman was sort of raw and anti-Hollywood."
"[Jolie] has a very graceful, elegant touch but then she doesn't like to hold back; she likes to make sure that the audience feels what is really happening onscreen," Taylor says. "The sound is very elegant, but in the plane fight, you feel like you are there. And then later on, during the psychological part of the film when [Louis Zamperini, played by Jack O'Connell] is being tormented by his captor, we had to make sure that it feels real. The overall goal was to feel his spirit and be with him."
In contrast, Montano says "Alejandro is very aggressive, especially on Birdman. He wanted to make sure Birdman, the alter ego's voice was very Batman-esque, over the top. [The sound of his voice] was aggressive, and we used the drums score as narration to really push the envelope. Everything had to be flashy when the camera moved, every single sound — the footsteps, the air vents, the crowds. Alejandro wants to make sure you are always involved."

Taylor, who has worked with Iñárritu as far back as 21 Grams, adds, "Frankie caught on quick. I said, 'Frankie, you just got to go with it. This is a different cat. As soon as you think it's normal, don't do that. Do something else.' "
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at the CAS Awards, production mixer Thomas Varga said Birdman was the most difficult job he had ever done. "It was a 35-day schedule and every day was one shot," he said. "It was mostly two or three booms and a lot of radio mics blended into one track. We had boom operators flying around from set to set. When they were in the hallways we used radio mics and we had another boom operator in the next room. They were constantly running around a three-story set. It was a very orchestrated ballet."
Also nominated for the sound mixing Oscar are the teams from war drama American Sniper, sci-fi adventure Interstellar and jazz drummer story Whiplash, which won the BAFTA in sound (the BAFTAs has one sound category, whereas the Academy separates sound editing and mixing).
Rerecording mixer Ben Wilkins says that the Whiplash team wanted to marry the sound finished in post with the actual production tracks and location characteristics from the film's narrative. "Our team played back a set of specialized tones into the space [on location], and then recorded them," he says. "Later decoding the tones gives you the exact naturally occurring reverb of the room. We got still photos of where the cameras were situated, and set up our recording equipment in similar fashion to capture reverb from the same perspective. Later on we could use those reverbs to re-create echoes and reverbs inside those rooms, and apply them to the (prerecorded drum music), so that everything could match up."
In approaching American Sniper, rerecording mixer Gregg Rudloff noted that "the story is on the screen. You want to use the room [to place sounds], but you still want to be cautious that you don't pull the audience out of the movie by doing something that's distracting to the story."
He added that sound level is always a challenge, certainly for a war film. "Fortunately [director Clint Eastwood] isn't one to believe louder is better. The way to beat that is to use dynamics. It's the relationship of the soft moments to the loud moments. It's the change in dynamics that can make something seem loud without having to be assaultive to the audience."
The final nominee is the much-discussed mix on Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, Rerecording mixer Gregg Landaker explained that Nolan wanted to "really capture the essence of space travel. ... We experimented with lowering stuff down so that you could hear the dialogue, but then it became so unreal. The idea of these scenes is to make you feel you're straining to hear just as much as [the characters] are straining to hear each other."

Here's how the story goes – A Scorpion ambles down to the river. He gazes at the distant
bank on the other side wondering how to get across. Along hops a frog and the Scorpion
has an idea! He asks the Frog if he can get on the Frog's back and the Frog can swim him
across to the other side. "But what if you sting me? Then we will both drown!" pleaded the Frog. "That's why I won't sting you", promised the Scorpion. Convinced of this logic the Frog agrees, the Scorpion climbs on and they begin their journey of collaboration. As they paddle over the deepest part of the river the Scorpion flicks his tail and stings the frog! "What did you do that for!", croaks the Frog as the life drains from him and they begin to sink. "Because that is my nature!" the Scorpion replies.
What does this metaphor have to do with business? Everything! Particularly if you are a
startup. Where business and money are involved there will always be the Frogs and the
Scorpions, and both are trying to achieve the same objectives i.e. success, so they will
always be crossing paths with each other.
Most entrepreneurs entering into business are Frogs. They have a skill set i.e. they can swim. They have an objective – to get to the other side thereby reaching their goals. They know and understand most of the obvious challenges such as debris, rising water, unseen obstacles, bad weather, lurking enemies etc. and mostly prepare to meet them in advance. But there is no way one can foresee the coming of the Scorpion.
The Scorpion comes in many disguises – it may be a client, a member of staff, a colleague, a partner, an associate, a bank, the economy, circumstance, politics, or even yourself. The Scorpion always makes perfect sense as you begin your journey, and only when you reach the deep water does his real character reveal itself. A client's marketing director may resign and the new one appoints another supplier; a member of staff may be a manipulator and pitch the other staff against you; a colleague may find a new job and leave you an overload of work; an associate may get a better deal from a competitor; the bank may call in your overdraft; the economy may change dramatically and affect your industry directly; a new invention may make your product obsolete; political indiscretion may hike interest rates and your investments nosedive; and you, yourself, may make bad decisions that looked good at the time.
So, what is the moral of the story? Many small businesses fail in the first 12 months of
operation (in fact up to 90% of them) and the Scorpion is often the cause.
The unpredictability of business is one of many factors that startups fail to understand, and often some business owners give up when the Scorpion strikes. Critically important to your new business is your planning, which includes market understanding (is there a market for your product/service?), financial planning (are you spending money on the right things?), product/service quality (the optimum balance between cost and price), distribution (is your product on the right shelf?) marketing and advertising (defining your strategy and your media appropriately), customer service (are you trained and geared towards customer satisfaction), administration (does your cash flow smoothly in and out and are you meeting compliance issues?).
But always be aware of the Scorpion, it is his nature to take you out.

SAP APO / IBP Consultant
Our Vision / Our Story
Let's start with some interesting facts. Did you know that, so far, there are only 4 Integrated Business Planning (IBP) projects in Belgium? But did you also know that delaware is involved in no fewer than 3 of them?
In fact, we – and we're proud to say so – were the first within the Benelux to actually do IBP projects.
Why is that? Well, because we are the only consultancy firm that is able to tackle Sales & Operations planning (S&OP) from both a process- and technology point of view. And because we work shoulder to shoulder with the other SAP teams within delaware. And when you tell your customers to optimize their processes and to tear down silos to collaborate better, better anticipate and make decisions based on more accurate data, you'd better lead by example.
Our team has grown from 25 to 39 team members in the space of just two years. And we're not there yet.
Are you the 40th colleague we're looking for?
What will you be doing as SAP APO / IBP consultant?
What does a day in the life of an SAP APO/IBP consultant look like? Well, most of our projects take more than one day – actually, they normally take 6-9 months. But you'll soon see that you will have a very diverse to-do list throughout:
- As an SAP APO/IBP consultant, you will have a look under the hood of the supply chain processes at our customers, and spot inefficiencies. Your main challenge: find out what they need to make their planning and market demand run smoothly and turn it into a value-driven process.
- You'll build bridges. Bridges between the teams at our customer internally, but also between those teams and their suppliers. Bridges with the teams within delaware working on the project. You'll be able to rely on the expertise of your colleagues who specialize in SAP PP, MM, SD and BI. You'll soon experience yourself why delaware is a one-stop-shop for these kinds of projects!
- Just like us, you firmly believe that SAP IBP is a breakthrough system for seamless integration and a 'must-have' on the path to a value-driven S&OP. But you also know that a one-size-fits-all approach is not what your customers need. That's why you'll listen very closely to what they expect. After defining the long-term goals, roles & responsibilities, gathering the required input, output & KPIs, you will roll up your sleeves and configure and adapt the IBP templates to each specific situation.
- Do you like to follow up on projects from start to finish? Then you've come to the right place. You are involved from analysis, blueprinting, customizing, documentation and training, up until the 'go live' and support.
- You'll end up in a team of absolute SAP and business experts. But that does not mean that you cannot help us to make our offering even better. We're relying on you to help us further expand what we do – and to keep us on our toes.
We always work closely with our customers. You'll often find us working on location in teams of 3-4 colleagues. But, of course, just as often you'll meet team members in one of delaware's own offices in Gent, Antwerpen, Kortrijk, Wavre or Lummen.
Having a great atmosphere within the team and doing things together as a team is just as important. That's why we regular have team meetings and team events. It's how we keep learning from each other and exchange experiences.
Do you have what it takes to become a delaware SAP APO / IBP consultant?
If the profile below sounds like you, then we'd like to get to know you better:
- Do you have at least two years' experience with SAP APO/IBP or PP? Then keep on reading! Do you have experience in working with SAP MM, SD, BI or one of the other S&OP-related modules? Do DP, PPDS, SNP and Global ATP ring a bell? That's even better!
- You don't have that specific SAP knowledge, but know more than a thing or two – well, actually, a lot more – about other planning software in an ERP context? Or do you have (many) more years of experience than what we mention above? Then please reach out to us, you are most welcome too.
- Does your experience in the field help you spot the weak links in existent business processes? Well, that's another box you can tick on our checklist. It would really help our team move forward if you could bring insights on S&OP from a business perspective.
- Do you speak the language of IT and the operations manager, but also of the end users? Then you are the excellent communicator we are looking for.
- Are you convinced that it is never too soon to start learning about the technologies of tomorrow?
- Are you fluent in Dutch or French and do you get your messages across loud and clear in English too?
- Are you like a chameleon who adapts easily to new situations and feels at home in no time?
What's in it for you?
As #peopleofdelaware, we truly put our core values into practice: we take care of our employees and customers, we are dedicated, enterprising and respectful, and do everything in a positive team spirit.
But there's much more that you can expect when you join us:
- An impressive list of internal and external training opportunities to cherry-pick from
- A mentor who you can spar with about your career path within delaware. Within a solid company like ours, you will see that there are plenty of opportunities to shape your career to your personal preferences and to become the best possible 'you'.
- For the time being, our SAP APO/IBP team is mainly involved in projects throughout Belgium. But if you wish, we can also explore the possibility of you working internationally.
Want to discover more?
Find out more about us on our website and blog. We recommend that you take a look at our colleague Kristof's LinkedIn post .
You can also get a sense of what it's like to work for us here, but we're even nicer in real life!
Are you keen to help us grow our SAP APO/IBP team? Click the Apply Now button below and hopefully we'll get to meet each other soon!
Is there anything that we forgot to tell you? Do you have questions about this vacancy or in general? Please feel free to contact us by e-mail, we really want to hear from you!

Vinyl letters come in black, white and a variety of basic shades, even gold, but I wanted a matte gold so I decided to paint my own. You could have an endless array of colors to choose from by painting these with craft paint. Let dry.
Center where you want your letters to be, and use a ruler or piece of paper to form a straight line. Add your letters, starting from the center out. Place in frame and hang. It's so cheap and easy you can change it up as much as you like! I'll even be making these for around the house too!
Did you know you can get vinyl letters in huge sizes? Wrap a large blank canvas and add the huge letters to make a bold statement. You could also use smaller letters and put this in a tabletop frame. These would make fun name piece!

The contiguous United States experienced the warmest March ever in the warmest start of the year ever in the warmest 12-month period ever, according to new data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The record warm March temperatures hit the entire nation with each state having experienced at least one record warm daily temperature. The NOAA reports that there were over 15,000 warm temperature records broken during the month.
The NOAA also connected the record breaking March temperatures to the slew of tornadoes saying that "warmer-than-average conditions across the eastern U.S. also created an environment favorable for severe thunderstorms and tornadoes."
The first three months of the year were record warm for the contiguous United States with an average temperature of 42.0°F, 6.0°F above the long-term average.
The April 2011 to March 2012 period, which included the second hottest summer and fourth warmest winter, was the warmest such period in the contiguous U.S..
Jerry Meehl, climate scientist: "Everybody has this uneasy feeling. This is weird. This is not good."Looking at whether human-caused global warming was a factor, NOAA analysts wrote in a draft assessment on "Meteorological March Madness 2012": "Our current estimate of the impact of GHG (greenhouse gases) forcing is that it likely contributed on the order of 5% to 10% of the magnitude of the heat wave during 12-23 March. And the probability of heatwaves is growing as GHG-induced warming continues to progress."
And Jerry Meehl, a climate scientist with the National Center for Atmospheric Research, told the Associated Press, "Everybody has this uneasy feeling. This is weird. This is not good."
A report issued last month from the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) linked the increase in extreme weather with human-caused global warming. "The information is all on the table," Thomas Stocker, one of the report's lead authors, told EurActiv. "If you have high emissions of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, then you will increase the incidence of 'hottest days' by a factor of 10."

From the NOAA report:
- The first three months of 2012 were also record warm for the contiguous United States with an average temperature of 42.0°F, 6.0°F above the long-term average.
- Numerous cities had a record warm January-March, including Chicago, Boston, and Washington, D.C. No state in the contiguous U.S. had below-average January-March temperatures.
- "The previous 12-month period (April-March), which includes the second hottest summer (June-August) and fourth warmest winter (December-February), was the warmest such period for the contiguous United States. The 12-month running average temperature was 55.4°F, which is 2.6°F above the 20th century average."

MSNBC: US shatters record for warmest March -- and first three months of a year
Stu Ostro, a senior Weather Channel meteorologist, told msnbc.com that the bigger picture isn't promising.
"It's not only what happened in March in North America," he said, "it's the context: the extremity of this extraordinary early-season heat in the U.S. and southern Canada, plus Norway and Scotland breaking their March high temperature records; Texas and Oklahoma in 2011 having their hottest summer on record, even hotter than during the Dust Bowl; the off-the-charts 2010 Russia heat wave along with approximately 20 countries setting high temperature records that summer; and Canada having its warmest winter and year on record in 2010."
"All of this happening with such frequency," he added, "provides overwhelmingly convincing evidence that the overall increased warmth is making the atmosphere more conducive to these sorts of heat extremes."

The Motion Control Bluetooth BeatBox
If the geek and DIY maker genes runs strong in your blood, you've probably already heard of Arduino kits, the open-source electronics platform base for all sort of software+hardware tomfoolery. Justin Livi, an Interactive Design & Art major at the Maryland Institute College of Art, built himself a unique digital instrument of sorts, combining Arduino circuitry with Bluetooth connectivity for a motion controlled drum sequencer...sort of a digital maraca. Confused? Watch the vid below...
The project begins to explore how explorations in three dimensional space can be translated to a two dimensional screen and a musical landscape. Unlike standard music sequencers BeatBox plays like a musical instrument; there's no chance for the user to preprogram a set sequence. Additionally, only advanced users will be able to recreate a specific sequence of sounds because it takes very tight motor control and kinesthetic memory to be able to pinpoint different sounds on time. The learning curve for playing the BeatBox compared to playing an instrument is drastically reduced however, as any basic movement produces a variety of noises all guaranteed to be in time.
The "instrument" is powered by a single 9V battery, and the performer's movements are mirrored on screen, providing visual feedback as the BeatBox is played. More about this project and other art+interactive projects over at JustinLivi.net.

text: thought I'd do a little research before deciding which droid phone I want. It's definitely gonna be Verizon so my main focus is the thunderbolt atm. Only complaint I read about [that I consider valid] is the bloatware they load it up with that can't be removed. It's invulnerable to task killer also... should I expect a verizon patch? or possibly a user made fix? anybody already find a fix?

Apple announced on January 10 that starting from February 28, 2018, the iCloud service in the Mainland will be transferred to Guizhou Big Data Industry Development Co., Ltd. ("Guizhou on Cloud") for operation on that occasion Cloud Guizhou company will have the legal and financial relationship with iCloud users in mainland China. All of the data (including photos, videos, contributions, backups, etc.) stored using these services and stored via iCloud are subject to the terms and conditions of the new iCloud (operated by Guizhou on the Cloud).
In a statement to Surging News, Apple said the move will help to continue to enhance the speed and reliability of iCloud services and comply with Chinese regulations. Regarding user privacy concerns about the change, Apple said: "Apple has a strong data privacy and security mechanism and will not create a back door in any of our systems." & rdquo;
"Guizhou on Cloud" is a company approved by the government of Guizhou Province with a registered capital of 235 million yuan. The company funded by the Guizhou Provincial Bureau of big data development, supervisory supervision of state-owned enterprises in Guizhou Province.
iCloud stores personal content such as user contacts, calendars, photos, notes, reminders, files, app data, and iCloud emails. According to Apple's official website, iCloud securely stores photos, videos, documents, apps, and more on Apple devices like iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC and keeps them up-to-date on those devices.
Regarding the background of this change, Zuo Shiquan, director of the Institute of Equipment Industry, CCID Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, believes that the Cyber Security Law, which came into force on June 1, 2017, clearly stipulates that: All issues related to the broadly defined national security issue Chinese citizen or regional data must be stored on servers in China and the operator of the cloud service must be a local enterprise. This is one of the reasons why Apple chose Guizhou as a cloud company with cloud-based state-owned capital as the partner. ICloud services are based in China Domestic use of "iCloud" and "Cloud on Guizhou" dual brand to provide users with services.
The new terms increase user privacy
On Apple's official website in China, iCloud service module has released the relevant explanation, and announced the new icloud terms of service. Which explicitly mentioned, "Once iCloud enabled, the content will be automatically sent to the Guizhou on the cloud and stored by the Guizhou on the cloud. & rdquo;
The surging news reporter compares the new and the old terms and finds that the new terms add a sentence to your column "Access your account and content": "You understand and agree that Apple and Cloud Guizhou have the right to access you at All data stored in this service includes the rights to share, exchange and disclose all user data (including content) to and from each other and to each other in accordance with applicable law. & rdquo;
New iCloud Terms and Conditions Screenshots New iCloud Terms and Conditions Screenshots
And that part of the Terms remains: "You acknowledge and agree that we may access, use, save your Account Information and Content and / or disclose your Account Information and Content to us as we may deem necessary or justifiable Law enforcement agencies, government officials and / or some third party without liability to you, provided that we do so on the basis of legal requirements or in our best faith belief that doing so is reasonably necessary to: (a ) Comply with legal process or requirements; (b) enforce this Agreement, including any potential violation of this Agreement; (c) detect, prevent or otherwise resolve security, fraud or technical problems; or (d) Or to the extent permitted by law, protect the rights, property or safety of Guizhou, its users, Apple Inc., third parties or the public on the cloud.
Apple explained in the official website, the user's photos, documents and address books and other iCloud content, when transmitted through the Internet have been encrypted, stored in Apple's own server when the vast majority have been encrypted. When Apple uses a third-party vendor's server to store user information, Apple encrypts that information and never discloses the key to the vendor.
Apart from that, it is noteworthy that the governing law has changed. The new terms expressly state that the interpretation, validity and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China.
"For any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, Guizhou Guizhou and You agree to submit to China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) a binding Beijing-based arbitration in accordance with the prevailing laws submitted to arbitration." The subsequent arbitral award is final and binding on both parties. "The new terms wrote.
"For these changes, we want to be transparent to our customers. "Apple responded in an interview with People's Daily. It is reported that Apple Inc. since January 10 within seven weeks, will be notified by e-mail and push the way to inform users of this news. All users who set Apple ID's country as China will be affected by this shift.
Apple said iCloud's system must record every user browsing or receiving at least one notification in order to complete the user's service migration.
As of February 28, 2018, 0:00, users will not be relocated to Guizhou on the cloud but remain inactive if they have not been recorded as having viewed or accepted Apple-related notifications. During the deactivation period, data previously stored in iCloud by the user will also be saved in iCloud without loss. However, many features including iCloud photo gallery / share, iCloud cloud disk, and Apple Pay will be affected. If you disable the iCloud service after February 28, you will need to accept the new terms and conditions to ensure that your account is reactivated and moved to Guizhou on the cloud.
In the meantime, according to Apple Inc., if you are not a Chinese citizen residing in mainland China, you can edit Apple ID country settings to reflect your current country and continue using iCloud under the current terms and conditions.
In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, Li Zhenjun, director of the Industrial Development Department of Guizhou Province's Big Data Development Authority, said that Guizhou on cloud will strictly safeguard information security and protect state secrets, trade secrets and personal privacy in strict compliance with Chinese laws and regulations.
In an interview with China Voice, Chen Jinqiao, deputy chief engineer of the China Institute of Information and Communications, said in an interview that converting Apple's cloud service to cloud-based Guizhou is not an isolated case. This is only an example of strengthening data protection by the state and enterprises, Improve the cloud service capabilities, improve customer demand, a natural reflection.
Access to iCloud will speed up

("AURORA", 300383) announced that the company to not exceed RMB 2 billion for the purchase of certain operational assets related to Amazon cloud-based cloud services from Amazon Connect Technology Services (Beijing) Co., Ltd. ("Amazon").
The transaction was once misinterpreted by Amazon to sell Chinese assets, in fact, this is based on regulatory requirements, AURORA purchased assets such as AWS servers, Amazon continues to retain the AWS cloud services intellectual property.
After the deal was launched, Aura Xinwei finally obtained the cloud computing license in December 2017, marking the legal status of AWS's Beijing business.
Microsoft has set up data centers in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, respectively, and is operated by 21Vianet.
The cooperation of Apple on the cloud Guizhou Guizhou Province SASAC under the big data company.
In July 2017, the iCloud strategic cooperation framework agreement was held with the Guizhou government in Guizhou Province. According to the agreement, Guizhou Cloud will also set up and operate a national data center for iCloud services, which is expected to be completed and put into use by 2020.
Ma Ningyu, director of the big data bureau of Guizhou Province, said at the signing ceremony that the main data center has invested 1 billion U.S. dollars and will be completed in Guizhou's Gui'an New District. It is Apple's first data center project in China to store data for Apple users in China. Apple provides technical support. iCloud service in China using iCloud and Guizhou dual-brand cloud to provide users with services.
Before many domestic Apple mobile phone users often appear APP can not open, the data can not be synchronized, the network connection error, etc., this, Apple vice president Lisa & Jackson; said the new data center is completed, will effectively reduce the delay, Improve reliability and make the experience of iCloud users in China smoother. Once the data center is completed, the experience of Chinese Apple users may change greatly.
It is noteworthy that due to the suitable climate, industrial base, energy and policy support in Guizhou, from 2013 to 2014, the three major telecom operators, China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom, have settled their big data centers in Guizhou Gui'an New District, with a total investment of 15 billion yuan. Making it the only province in the country to centrally build the data centers of the three major telecom operators in one place.
Before Apple iCloud, Guizhou on the cloud had already cooperated with Aliyun, Tencent Cloud, Huawei Group, Inspur Group, China Soft International, China Telecom, China Unicom and China Mobile.
In addition, one of the technologies behind "Guizhou on the Cloud" is Ali Cloud, a subsidiary of Alibaba. In 2014, Guizhou Province and Alibaba reached a cooperation agreement on cloud computing and big data. "Guizhou on the cloud" relying on Guizhou Unicom Internet Data Center (IDC) room, based on Aliyun "Flying" operating system, gathered a huge amount of data. (Yang Xin 倢, Angel)

We are once more on the Publications Page - and I say this because having upgraded to Joomla 3.4 all my previous postings on this site were expunged, either due to a failure on my part or a failure on the part of my chosen server, which timed out at 89%. But I did not see that anything else was likely since my old site has become more or less impossible to work on and this has prompted me to learn new skills. But enough of my current problems. Let's get on.
This page is intended to be the point of entry into my publications pages, and it starts with "RigMoves". Back in 1994 I was briefly (for 3 months) captain of a small Halter Marine 180 foot anchor-handler out in the oilfields of Saudi Arabia. It was a really interesting job, particularly after one of the barge-movers had visited us to give us some sort of instruction and I asked him why they had not assigned us to any rig moves. He was pretty dismissive, but I suggested the they should give us a go, and sure enough we went off and played our part in a jack-up move. There-after we participated in every rig move they had going and were mainly assigned to a jack-up crane barge which had to be pushed into difficult corners of the GOSPs (Gas Oil Separation Platforms). It was really interesting work and a tonic for those of us brought up in the North Sea where close contact with anything would result in damage. Typically on one night we were moving our crane barge from one place to another and as happens at the end of the day, darkness fell, so the barge put down its legs and we tied up alongside and went to sleep.
So...you have seen a photo of my ship, the Pike and in 2016 I can say the they don't make them like that any more. Two GM prime movers gave it about 4000 bhp, and a number of smaller engines all identical, were capable of driving some essential system, from the mud pumps to the anchor-handling winch. They really don't make them like that any more.
Anyway, I had taken with me my "portable" computer which was about the size of a suitcase, and because my cabin was not quite large enough to take a chair I had had one of the ABs, with aspirations to be a carpenter, construct a small desk on the bridge, and I used to sit there working away - as I am doing at this very moment - and realising that I could not actually write what was happening out there, because someone would take my discs off me, I wrote a short story to remind me about events and the whole atmosphere of working in the oil fields. And sure enough the Saudi customs took my discs off me, and I only got them back with the help of the administrator of the company I was working for.
But the story "RigMoves" became a whole book, and I self published it. I have offered it free on this site with any other purchase but time has moved on and unfortunately I have to take whatever steps I can to reduce postage costs, so it is no longer offered for nothing but can be purchased if you want.
