That the musicians who took the journey with him all the way to his eventual suicide would go on to reinvent themselves in New Order as among the brightest, most engaging songwriters of the era was an extraordinary achievement.
Classic lyric: 'Existence well what does it matter?
Tales of thwarted sexual longing wrapped in enigmatic literary references are carried on reverberating waves of sound.
George Ivan Morrison was born in Belfast in 1945 and had written a bona fide rock classic, Gloria, for his band Them while still in his teens.
'When Paul felt like it, he would come in with about 20 songs and say, "We're recording." And I suddenly had to write a f---ing stack of songs.
"Sgt Pepper" was like that.' It can't have been easy being in a band with a songwriter as gifted as Paul Mc Cartney, but during their time together Lennon would write many of the Beatles' greatest songs, including Day Tripper, All You Need is Love and Strawberry Fields Forever.
Classic lyric: 'I know it's stupid, to be mad about the boy,/ I'm so ashamed of it, but must admit the sleepless nights I've had/ About the boy.' (Mad About the Boy, 1932) 8 Ian Curtis/New Order If your only knowledge of Joy Division had come from the film Closer, you could be forgiven for thinking that the band were a set of Manc music obsessives with a troubled singer.
But a deeper image emerges from the band's final album, from which the film's title was taken, of an important late 20th-century artist confronting the extremes of human experience in songs such as Heart and Soul and The Eternal.

What a big bundle of fucked up. Kind of oddly erotic though? Anyone else seen this yet?
not seen it yet
i'd rather they didn't have someone so lovely and pretty chopping their clit off to be honest
that bit made me clench my legs
its pretty graphic. :(
yeah.....and not her or defoe's copulating genitles either, i heard this week
which i must say is a relief
Im not ever going to see it for this reason alone.i love Charlotte too much to see her mutilate herself.
Just from everything I've read about this film
I know I'll hate it.
Oh also!
the man infront of us fainted.
I'll def be watching this
it does look massively fucked up though, I need to find a friend to accompany me though, I think I'd need some support!
I think I might go see this at the Barbican tomorrow...
Not quite sure its something to sit through on my own though.
I just feel i might need a friend to tell me its only a film at the end...
To stop the potential nightmares.
I just got back from seeing it
In the main, bit pretentious, though I expected that. I don't quite know what he's trying to say with some of it but haven't totally made up my mind about it yet.
Though....Dafore didn't appear to be in nearly as much pain as he should have...but maybe that's the green goblin in him.

Last stop: Sydney's monorail to be scrapped
Sydney's monorail is heading for the scrap heap.
The New South Wales Government has announced that it has bought Metro Transport Sydney (MTS), the company that owns the monorail and light rail, in a $19.8 million deal.
It is part of the plan to re-develop the Darling Harbour Convention Centre and precinct.
The Transport Minister Gladys Berejiklian says the monorail is in the way and it will be removed as soon as possible.
She says it is not integrated with Sydney's wider public transport network and has never been embraced by the public.
The plan is to replace it with an extension of the light rail network.
Ms Berejiklian says the deal allows flexibility when planning future transport options for the city.
"Our options have increased in relation to light rail. Our options have increased in relation to how we integrate the convention centre with other modes of public transport," she said.
"The monorail has been around for 20 years and many argue that its use by date has arrived, and that's certainly the government's position."
The Business Chamber and developer groups approve of the move, and so does Sydney's Lord Mayor Clover Moore.
"There needs to be a whole-of-city approach to transport and that includes how cars move around, how buses move around and how we plan for future light rail," she said.
"So that's all happening now, and I believe the action on the monorail is just part of that process."
Greens MP and Leichhardt councillor Jamie Parker says buying up the monorail paves the way for an improved light rail service.
"When I was the Mayor, and also as state MP, we were pushing to have the light rail made public so the public ticketing system could be introduced," he said.
"But who would have thought that it would be a Liberal government that would take this step?"
Former Sydney Mayor Frank Sartor was a councillor when the line was built and he says he too will be glad to see the monorail go, but is less enthusiastic about light rail.
"I support the Government buying it and removing it," he said.
"I support light rail to an extent, but I think Gladys is relying far too much on it. It's a short term fix."
The monorail was first opened in 1988 and is 3.6 kilometres long.
Metro Transport says over 3 million people use the monorail each year – more than half of those are visitors to Sydney.
The 15-minute loop takes in Darling Harbour as well as Chinatown and the Pitt Street retail area.
However, it has been criticised as too expensive – with a One Trip ticket costing $5.
In a statement, Metro Transport says it is "very disappointing" that the monorail's demise has been confirmed, however it is exciting that the government is "proceeding with the development of this important infrastructure project".

2016 Honda Marine BF8
Get excellent performance in a lightweight, compact package. Perfect for inflatables, sailboats or as a kicker for larger fishing boats, the BF8 gives you the convenience of the Fold-Down Tiller Handle, the peace of mind of the Engine Alert System and high-output charging, which helps maintain battery charge or keep electronics going.Features May Include:Honda Four-Stroke Engine Design
The BF8s utilize a, twin cylinder, in-line, OHC design powerhead. World-renowned Honda quality combines proven reliability, quiet operation, low emissions and superior fuel efficiency, with no gas-oil mixing.Complete Engine-Management System
Electronically controlled monitoring system protects the engine components from over-revving, low engine-oil pressure and overheating.Pendulum-Motion Vibration Dampening
An exclusive Honda feature, the pendulum-motion mounting system for the powerhead helps absorb the vibration, including longitudinal vibration, which was difficult to reduce successfully by conventional rubber mounts. The pendulum mount does this without the use of a heavy balancer shaft, which also significantly reduces overall weight.Increased Reverse Thrust
When reversing, the exhaust gases are diverted through additional exhaust relief ports above the cavitation plate, allowing the propeller to back up into clean, bubble-free water, thereby increasing reverse thrust.Regulated Charging System
A high-quality regulator/rectifier is standard on all models to prevent overcharging the battery.Fresh Water Flushport
Allows easy hook-up to fresh water supply to flush debris and salt water out of the engine, extending the life of the outboard (optional Flush Kit required).Shallow-Water Drive
Allows you to run in shallow water with the engine raised to reduce the risk of damage to the lower gearcase.Ultra Low 3-Star CARB Emissions
Environmentally conscious technology. All Honda Marine engines exceed the highest CARB 3-Star rating to meet the rigorous California Air Resource Board's standards.Three-Year Warranty
The best outboards are backed by the best warranty, 3 years parts and labour.Lightweight, Rounded Design
Easy to transport, ideal for 10-12 ft. fishing boats, inflatables or for auxiliary sail and trolling power. Also, the BF8's rounded ergonomics won't catch fishing lines as easily.High-Output Charging System
All electric-start models are fitted with a high-output charging system that will deliver 6 amps at only 3,000 rpm to keep your electronics working and batteries charged (models with electric-start not offered in Canada).Easy-Pull Starting
The programmed-ignition system sets the ignition system during start-up to reduce the effort required to pull start the engine. Also, PGM-IG ignition provides reliable starts and optimum ignition timing, enhancing running performance and fuel economy across the entire speed range.Forward-Mounted Shift Lever
Allows more control and comfort in shifting.Quick-Twist Throttle Friction Adjuster
A simple twist of the throttle friction collar located right at the throttle grip allows you to adjust the throttle tension up or down, minimizing driver fatigue.Front-Mounted Steering-Friction Adjuster
A new quick-adjust lever design located just above the transom bracket allows for precise adjustments at your fingertips.Integrated Carrying Handle
A convenient, foldaway carry handle is situated at the exact horizontal balance point of the engine so that the engine carries more easily in a level position.

Effect of Pre-Questions on Oral Reading by Elementary Students.
Fowler, Elaine; Lamberg, Walter J.
To test the effects of prequestions and postquestions on word recognition and comprehension, two studies were conducted involving two groups of first through fifth grade students. An informal reading inventory using passages from Harper and Row's "Basic Reading Program" was administered and the results on the lowest instructional and frustrational levels were used as the measure of the subjects' performance on the post-questions task. For the prequestions task, additional passages at the students' instructional and frustrational levels were selected. Means were computed for percent of word recognition accuracy and percent of comprehension for each task at each level. Results for both groups indicated that there were no significant differences in word recognition or comprehension between the two tasks. The results are in line with those of other studies which have found that providing students with test questions before reading did not significantly aid or hinder their comprehension or word recognition. The studies indicate that more research in different comprehension tasks is needed. (FL)

Texas native Keith Stegall is a long-time legend of Country music. Since the early 1980's, he has secured his reputation as a songwriter and producer. During his musical career he has attained "55 No. 1 hits, 40 million airplays, and 70 million in sales worldwide". He has also worked with such country acts as Alan Jackson, and Zac Brown Band!

"Dreamlined Entertainment Group will be an artist-driven firm, that caters to talent in the most modern and fluid way possible," said Stegall in a statement. "Our focus will be on being nimble in making adjustments, and tailoring our approach to individual needs. We are seeking out boundary-testing artists, who are iconic in scope, and impossible to categorize."
The Nashville-based company intends to assist in artist development, and music publishing. All the recordings done by artists, signed to Dreamlined Entertainment Group, will be distributed by Caroline International (part of Universal Music Group).
This is truly a great time to start following Stegall on Twitter, whether you are a musician, or just an avid country listener! It will be extremely exciting to see what acts he develops, and recordings he puts out!

IT'S SUMMER AND THAT MEANS MORE TIME TO READDD. Which means I'll maybe possibly shrink my ever-growing to-read list. At least to below seventy books . . . yeah, probably not. Especially since the list just grew forty books larger than I last remember it being oh no
Anyway, I recently read Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige and Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. Both of them weren't quite on par with most of the other books I've read this year, but they had their good qualities. Besides those, I also read the two books pictured above on the right, and they were AMAZING. The other three are for reading throughout the summer: one is for school, one is there because my mom wanted me to read it, and one is there just 'cause.
(I also got Paper Towns by John Green and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee recently. Just pretend those are also pictured.)
Out of the hundred books I want to read this year, I've read twenty-five. That's not bad, considering school, but it's also apparently twenty-seven books behind where I should be, so I GOTTA READ A LOT FASTER. Wish me luck.

BYU Researchers,
Please feel free to use the statements below in your research grant proposals. If you have questions or would like a signed letter of support on BYU letterhead, please contact me for details.
Ryan Cox
Letter of Research Support (updated January 2019)
To Whom It May Concern:
The Fulton Supercomputing Lab (FSL) provides computational resources for faculty and students at Brigham Young University (BYU). Our mission is to facilitate and enhance computationally intensive research at BYU by making available state of the art high performance computing (HPC) resources to campus researchers. We seek to assist where department or college resources are inadequate for project demands.
The Fulton Supercomputing Lab maintains 1,012 compute nodes (servers) comprising 23,920 processor cores and over 90 TB of memory. Most of these resources are functionally divided into four clusters:
- 40-node GPU cluster: Each node has four Nvidia P100 GPU cards, dual 14-core Intel Broadwell processors, 128 GB of RAM, and 100 Gb/s Intel Omni-Path.
- 32-node GPU cluster: Each node has dual Nvidia K80 GPU cards, dual 24-core Intel Haswell processors, 64 GB of RAM, and 4X FDR InfiniBand
- 256-node cluster: Each node has dual 14-core Intel Broadwell processors, 128 GB of RAM, and 4X FDR Infiniband
- 320-node cluster: Each node has dual 12-core Intel Haswell processors and either 64 or 128 GB of RAM
- 320-node cluster: Each node has dual 8-core Intel Sandy Bridge processors, either 32 or 64 GB of RAM, and 4X QDR InfiniBand
Additional resources include larger memory nodes with 256 or 512 GB of RAM each, as well as other smaller clusters. All resources are supported by approximately six petabytes of high performance storage.
Different research programs have varying degrees of need for HPC systems. FSL job scheduler policies strive for a balance of fairness between the largest and smallest consumers. Additional resources are constantly being considered to keep up with research demands, storage requirements, and changes in technology.
We invite all BYU faculty, students, and affiliated collaborators that have a need for computational resources to request an account.

Marathon and challenge events
If you want to take part in a Marathon, Cycling or other challenge event, just go straight to our Phabkids website where you will find everything you need.
If you want to do something different, here are some of the ideas our other supporters have had:
Raise funds when shopping online with Amazon
If you shop online with Amazon, you can support Phab at the same time.
Just enter https://smile.amazon.co.uk and choose Phab as your charity. Amazon will automatically donate 0.5% of the net purchase price of your eligible purchases to Phab and will remember that you want to support Phab for all future purchases. Tell your friends and family too and you will all be helping to raise funds for Phab!
Raise funds when shopping online with Give as you Live
You can help us raise funds for Phab just by shopping online through Give as you Live. When you shop at over 4,000 top stores including Amazon, Expedia and John Lewis via Give as you Live, they'll turn a percentage of your spend into free funds for Phab. Simply sign up, search for the retailer you want and start shopping: https://www.giveasyoulive.com/join/phab. Or you can download their app at https://www.giveasyoulive.com/install?app.
If you prefer to simply make a one-off donation to Phab through Give as you Live, just go direct to our page at https://www.giveasyoulive.com/donate?cid=36447.
Company Match Funding
And it might be worth asking if the company you work for has a match funding scheme for their employees, like Ben (above). Even if they don't, they may be moved to top up what you raise anyway or allow you to have a fundraising event at work. Worth a try!
Contact Phab on 020 8667 9443 or your nearest Regional Officer to tell us what you would like to do and we can send you marketing materials and anything else you might need.
And your supporters and sponsors can view the Phab film featured recently on the BBC Lifeline Appeal here.

Irish three-day weather forecast
Friday, 8 June 2012
Mick Wallace VAT underpayment results in 2.1 million euro settlement
This was before Wallace settled - or his company settled - a sum of €2.1 million with Revenue after he had deliberately under-declared VAT payments made by the firm. A sum which Revenue is unlikely to get as the company is now in receivership.
I've always thought Ireland a strange place, even as a kid growing up in it. Where else - seriously - would you get an ex property developer socialist?
Mind you, we also have socialists who are against property taxes. We have patriotic, investor-supporting anarchists. We have (strangest of all) self-professed "socialist" teachers. Socialist in the deformed Stalinist-state sense I suppose, insofar as they would swear two-plus-two was five in order to maintain their privileges, like the most Stakhanovian apparatchik, and keep the whole rotten edifice in existence.
I do think Wallace is genuine, however. And I'd say he's an alright sort. And at least he is not that gobshite Ming Flanagan with his hick twenty-years-too-late "I smoke pot, you know" posturing. The prat who stood out in supported of a failed compulsory Irish policy when Enda Kenny talked about scrapping it. Kenny subsequently caved into the lobbyists, of course.
Wallace seems OK though. For instance, he has single-handedly provided football facilities for kids in his part of the country, where few - if any - existed previously. I mean "football" as it is understood throughout the whole world apart from the USA, where they require armour to play rugby.
"Soccer", some call it. Wallace has done a lot for the world's greatest game in that particular corner of a country cursed with the Irish establishment sports of Bogball and Stickfighting.
Several of Wallace's former employees called radio stations to support him today, and it seems he was a good bloke to work for. And I must say I found it funny to watch the feigned indignation of TDs getting all worked up about tax-compliance and morality, in a shysters' parliament that deliberately encouraged tax avoidance during the bubble, and possesses all the morality of a paedophile priest set loose in a Kindergarten.
It's difficult to see, however, how Wallace has not left himself open to easy comebacks by his political opponents should he ever speak on subjects such as public services, social welfare or the rest... all funded, of course, by taxation.
What might be interesting, I believe, would be a thorough investigation of every single Dail TDs finances. Property investments, business links, tax returns and the rest of it - even as they are serving TDs. I'm sure you would find quite a few forced to exchange sham indignation for prudent silence.
Wallace's under-payments at least date to before his election to the Irish parliament, but it's hard to see how his political career can continue - and it is finished for a fact if bankruptcy concludes his business affairs.

Sometimes, Taxpayer, a short concise comment like yours can say something more effectively than one consisting of several paragraphs.
You're right, of course.

"I've always thought Ireland a strange place, even as a kid growing up in it." Consider yourself lucky GM, the majority never see through it.
Mr Wallace did wrong, it's ultimately up to him what he does with his political career. Though I'll say this GM, there is not many of them in the "Dail" that can preach virtue on this. One, a FG (no boast for them) TD stood up to the insanity of the bubble. Parish Pump Pukes the lot of them. If it was possible to destroy an already consumed fiasco they have done so.

initially i was indignant about this- BUT I think there is a bit more to Mick Wallace - Rarely for an Irish Politician He DOES actually admit to doing wrong.I'd like to read more on his business history- did he just get caught up in this, not realizing how much unstable debt he had taken on- and that buyers weren't there for all his properties? After all he took on massive debts- BUT also a greedy and reckless bank gave it to him. there ARE worse people- and many of these have/ are serving in Irish politics/justice/finance/ high positions in business etc...

Anna, he had no choice but to a admit it as he would appear in the next edition of "Stubbs Gazette" which displays all information on tax defaulters.
A very usefull little journal dating back to 1836.

@ Dakota. With one or two very notable exceptions, D, they all sat in the same room as the bubble inflated nicely. No doubt with an eye on some of their investments.
@ Anna and Taxpayer. I suppose he at least admitted that he knowingly filed false returns, rather than claiming it was a mistake.

There is nothing too unusual ex property developer socialists if its accepted
That George Soros is a liberal or a man with a social conscience.
He was in Ireland As guest of former Taoiseach garret fitzgerald in 2004, opposing George bushs
Relection campaign.
He also is known as "The Man Who Broke the Bank of England" because of his
US$1 billion in investment profits during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crisis.
( In the process it forced not only Britain to devalue but also ireland giving both countries longest
economic Booms since 1992 and ireland its first ever economic Boom since independence)
Plus his role in the Asian 1998 financial crises by selling short the Thai baht and the Malaysian ringgit
And other such investments in Asian real estate and making billions in the processes, but i dont know
How much.
Mick Wallace still has still questions to answer even the offences took place before he gained his
Dail seat, he should not be judged an lighter than a fianna fail T.D. or catholic priest
other offences include doubling money paid to himself and son even as financial troubles began to hit
Mick Wallace doubled the money paid to himself and his son by his building firm, even as it
began to hit financial difficulties that left it unable to pay its full VAT bill.
Company records show M&J Wallace paid the TD and his son, the only directors, €290,000 for the year ended August 2008, when it made a €2.6m loss.
Their pay was up from €148,141 a year earlier.
Plus also being in trouble over pension contributions funds as regards his workers.

Thanks for that Laim, interesting indeed. One thing I'd disagree with: I was living in London during Black MOnday 1992, and Britain's subsequent withdrawal from the ERM. My recollections were not of a boom, I can assure you. The number of empty units on the industrial estate I worked on was very high indeed. The country was still picking up the pieces after a property bubble brought on by easy credit (100% mortages and all the rest) after Thatcher had deregulated much of the financial sector. When I left in 1995, the UK economy was still moribund.
As far as I can see about Wallace, the more you see the more untenable his position becomes. Thank's for that info and those excellent links.

For my latest Have You Heard post I would like to introduce to you a band I've been fond of for a while. The first time I heard them was on X fm when sitting in a late night traffic jam. "And that was To Kill A King with Bloody Shirt" the radio man probably said and I took a mental note to find out a bit more about this indie-pop band.
You're just sitting in a bar, just singing in a bar
Pride will keep you warm
Wear it like an overcoat so safe from harm
(Wolves, To Kill A King)
To Kill A King's Factfile
Info: There are four members of this London-based band, whose first single was released in May 2011. Since then, they have worked with Bastille on a song called Choices and written an EP called Word of Mouth.
If you like: Bastille or The 1975, then you'll enjoy the indie sounds of To Kill A King
Listen to: Funeral and Cold Skin - their most recent and my favourite songs.
Something that I'm not too sure about are their music videos. I'm pretty sure they are those kind of videos with deep messages but what I've witnessed is a young boy with a bloody nose wrestling this massive guy and a dad stealing his dead son from a coffin to take him out exploring in a wheelchair. Their videos are interesting to say the least. This music is the type you'd want to listen to while relaxing (no dance anthems over here) and I enjoy them most while doing work as their soft sounds calm me.
Their debut album Cannibals with Cutlery isn't out till October but check these cool dude out on youtube and let me know what you think? If you have any musical sugguestions for me, I'd love to hear from you!

Acaça: Brazilian Rice Flour Polenta
We are fascinated by this recipe for acaça, a Brazilian dish that is served with meat or seafood, like polenta. But acaça uses rice flour instead of polenta's cornmeal, and the flour is cooked in coconut milk until thick and creamy. Doesn't that sound delicious? Have you ever tried this?
This version of acaça, which is served with shrimp bobo (a stew of shrimp, yucca, and fish stock, and coconut milk) is adapted from The Brazilian Table, by Yara Castro Roberts and Richard Roberts. It is served like polenta or rice, as a bed for the stew. In fact, the recipe calls it a "coconut-rice flour polenta".
We are so fascinated by this new (to us, anyway) dinner starch. It is obviously gluten-free, and it might be a great dish for those who eat gluten-free. It looks incredibly creamy, too; the rice flour is whisked into a mixture of coconut milk and whole milk, and then finished off with olive oil and cream.
Do you know anything about this dish? Is this a standard Brazilian dish, or is it more of a reinterpretation by the cookbook authors? We have got to try this out, and soon!
• Get the recipe: Acaça at Gourmet, from Adventures With Ruth

If you have joined the millions of iphone users, you may still wonder what to do with all the features. Don't let the advanced features scare you. Explore all the iphone has to offer by checking out this selection of useful tips and tricks.
If you get your iphone wet, try to use rice when drying it out. It is common to drop the phone in a water puddle, the toilet or something wet. Towel dry your phone and put it in a baggie filled with rice. Leave it there overnight, and in almost every case, it will be fine in the morning.
Once you know how the volume button can be used to take a photo, try using the headphone cord to snap a picture. Whenever you are taking it, your hand should be kept as steady as possible. Whenever you're ready, hit the button located on the cord. This will help you ensure you don't shake your phone and create a blurry picture.
You can easily create shortcuts to websites you visit frequently. Begin by visiting a website in your iPhone's browser. Once you have the website up, give the "GO" button a tap. This gives you the ability to put this site on your home screen. Like any other app you create, you can easily rename this link once you have it stored safely on the home screen.
There is a better way to turn off the AutoCorrect feature than hitting the "X" button. Just tap somewhere else on the screen instead. This closes the box and will save you some time.
There are a lot of multimedia capabilities that you can use when you are playing with your iphone. You can enjoy your favorite TV shows, movies or funny clips when you are on the go. You will never be bored again!
Did you miss an important photo because you were fumbling to pull up the camera feature on your iphone? Here is a simple solution. With the screen in the locked position, give two quick taps to the Home button. You should see a small camera icon near the bottom of the screen. Push it and your camera will function right away.
Do you know how to snap a screenshot of your iphone? Once you are on the screen that you would like to take a screenshot of, hold down the "home" button and click on the "sleep" button at the same time. The screen will blink white for about a second to confirm the shot.
If an iphone freezes up, you can easily perform a rest to get everything back in working order. Hold down the button while you are pressing the Home key at the same time. Everything will be restarted to fix the problem.
Don't concern yourself with the words iphone suggests when you are typing. When you are typing a note or email and want to turn off the suggestions, press anywhere on the screen to get rid of the suggestion box. You do not have to tap the x on every word.
Limit the number of apps on your iphone. There are many apps available for the iphone; some free, some for a fee. Some of these apps can be untrustworthy, stealing your information and charging you money without your knowledge.
In order to choose to make an email stay marked as unread, you have to locate the command because it's not visible. Go to Details, then select the Unread feature. When you come back to your inbox, the e-mail will show up as unread.
If you find Siri's voice to be grating, there are alternative selections you can make. First, you have to find Siri that is located on the General Settings tab. You can set Siri's language choice to French, German or English. You can even change her voice, if you wish, to reflect a British or Australian accent. The British Siri accent is actually a male voice.
Drafts Folder
If you want to save any message for the future, tap cancel while working on it. You will receive a popup asking how you wish to proceed; one option being Save. Choose Save to save the message into your Drafts folder. If necessary, the device will create a new Drafts folder.
Your iphone can be used for sending pictures to all your close acquaintances. This can be done in two ways. The image can be either saved and added as an email attachment, or uploaded through the Facebook application.
There are a few different ways to search contacts on the iphone. There is one that does not involve flicking with your fingers. Place the tip of a finger on the alphabetized list and press gently. Then, just move down and up to view the different ones. You can search your contacts by doing this.
When you experience a freezing of the screen on your iphone, hold down the Home button for about 5 seconds. That should reset your phone. If holding the Home button is not working, try holding the Home button and power consecutively for 12 seconds. Only utilize the second method if the first method does not reboot your phone.
Avoid exposing your iphone to extreme temperature variations. Do not take your iphone into a freezer and protect it with a case if it is very cold outside. Condensation forms in a phone if the temperature drops too low.
When working with more than one email account, you can simply check each account by giving them a different name. It can be quite confusing if all of your accounts bear the same name. Give them unique names that are easy to remember to make checking your emails easier.
If you haven't already guessed, the iphone is very versatile. For example, you can use your iphone as a universal remote for all your home entertainment equipment by downloading the BlinqTV application. DVD players, TVs or even receivers can be controlled by your iphone. You also have different options, such as program reminders that alert you and remind you when a favorite show comes on.
Hopefully, you've picked up a few new iphone tricks from this article that you weren't aware of before. An iphone can make your life easier in a number of different ways. Just use the tips and tricks you have read here to make your iphone work for you.

Answers For Aspiring iPhone Developers On Twitter
As some of you probably know I have a twitter account where I generally twitter about iPhone Development stuff. I've also thrown out answers to aspiring iPhone asking questions about iPhone development, and I've been asked some myself. Many of the same questions come up repeatedly, and some can't really be answerd in 140 chars. so I've decided to create this page.
Just off the top of the head I've listed 10 questions along with my answers. If there's a question you feel should be on here, or you think something could be answered better feel free to comment about it or tweet me about it.
Mini-FAQ for Aspiring iPhone Developers on Twitter
1. How much does it cost to be an iPhone developer?
Absolutely nothing, just go here, register an Apple ID if you don't have one, sign in and click where it says to download the iPhone SDK. You will have to pay at least $99 to put the app you create onto an iPhone/iPod Touch.
2. Can I use the iPhone SDK/Develop in windows?
Simply answer no. Long answer: There may be ways to develop on a jailbroken iPhone using a Windows PC, but you will need to have a computer running Mac OS X at some point. Legally that will require a Mac.
3. Why doesn't Apple let you use Windows to develop for the iPhone, wouldn't that get them more apps?
Apple seems to be having even more App submissions than they can handle, and since the iPhone was released Mac OS X usage has more than tripled. I doubt they're even thinking about it at all.
4. Can I develop for the iPhone in a virtual machine?
Apparently it goes against the OS X Eula to run OS X in a Virtual Machine. I've seen it tried, and honestly it ran like crap.
5. Can I run my apps on a jailbroken iPhone without paying the $99?
I have really no idea. How serious could you be about app development if you don't want to pay the $99.
6. I really can't pay the $99 or I don't have an iPhone… how can I still develop?
The iPhone SDK comes with a simulator that you can (theoretically) use to test apps. Be aware this is not exactly like running an app on the iPhone, and many features can not be tested. You certainly would want to test an app on an actual iPhone before trying to distribute it anywhere.
7. What language do you need to use for iPhone programming?
8. What books should I read?
Check out this post here. If you're an absolute newbie to Mac/iPhone programming C is the place to start, and Programming in Objective-C 2.0 seems to be the consensus choice for absolute newbies. Beginning iPhone Development is the consensus "best book" at the present time for iPhone development.
9. How long will it take to learn iPhone development?
That's a bad question, and honestly if you're asking that question as a newbie iPhone development might not be your thing. Coming from Windows/Non-Objective-C programming might take a week or two for the basics. No one can really say how long it will take.
10. I have a great app idea, anyone want to develop it for me?
Sure, if you're willing to pay or maybe if you're an internet celebrity like iJustine or Chris Pirillo and will let me plaster my name all over the app.
That's it, feel free to tweet this page if a buddy starts asking about iPhone development.
Code Snippet: Easy fading iPhone buttons, images, views
I was asked by a friend working on their first iPhone app if I could show them how to fade buttons to provide the user with visual feedback. So I came up with this quick iPhone development tutorial using some source code that is actually from the second app that we I will be showing how to build in my iPhone development videos.
A very quick demonstration of the effect is shown in this video:
Fading a view on the iPhone is very easy you simply specify the ending alpha value, and duration, and commit the animations. The views will then fade to the chosen alpha value. Overall it's a pretty sweet way to fade buttons, and images used in your interface especially if you've had to go through more complex techniques.
The code for the two methods to create the buttons is shown here:
That's all there is to it, it's very plug and play so all you have to do is run the methods to perform the effect., and I've included some sample code with a project that has various views fading in and out based on which button is selected. With a little bit of playing around you can make flashing images/buttons etc.
The completed project can be downloaded here: >>> FadingViews <<<

Big List of Youtubers Who Will Review Your iPhone App
As many of you may have noticed, I have been updating my older resource lists with updated links that have been shared with me in the last few months since starting this site, and I've been uploading tutorials/other videos to Youtube.
One resource which I didn't really think about was Youtube. I wasn't really a Youtuber before uploading my videos, but something I noticed was that there is a massive number of people on Youtube doing app reviews. Usually developers will upload a usage video to Youtube, and ultimately that's the end of things, it's hit or miss, and most videos get very few views.
Why not send the App reviewers your apps? Many of these reviewers have already established a subscriber base of 10,000 or more on Youtube (along with nearly as many on Twitter), and I'm sure would be flattered if sent a promotional code. A couple who I have contacted seemed very excited about the idea. Also, many of these videos end up being shown on other sites so the effect can multiply.
I wouldn't be turned off it appears that many of these viewers are members of the younger set, after all this is a large segment of the App market, and especially if you're developing an entertainment app this likely is your market.
Onto the list, I've sorted the reviewers here by the number of subscribers each has to their channels. If you have an ACTIVE channel that I have not listed here please post it below, and I will add it to the list.

Sometimes I write for other people, my main focuses these days are Risk and Consequence on and offline, For Folks Sake and my most recent outlet is Music In Oxford. Really glad to have a chance to get more involved in the local scene, this is my first piece for them-
Former frontwoman of various local bands including The Factory, Mary's Garden and post-high-school duo Michael Myers, the uniquely named Laima Bite is back with the latest offering from her musical odyssey. It takes the form of latest single 'Breathe', just released by Rivet Gun Records under the moniker of Laima, rather than the name Puddin, as some of her previous offerings have been presented.
Abingdon's Laima's ever changing, chameleonic appearance remains evident in her music. Last year, she recorded a session exlusively for MusicInOxford.co.uk, accompanied only acoustically, with the emphasis on her dulcet tones and the progressive, story-telling style of the songs. 'Breathe' is an atmospheric piece, with an electronic foundation and more than a hint of gothic overtones.
A clipped drumbeat and a misty synthesiser provide the platform, with progressive and languid piano used sparingly to underscore Laima's obliging vocals. The imagery – of transcience, water and spirits – runs through the soul of 'Breathe' with powerfully apprehensive lyrics: "Bring the moonlight with you, illuminate my dream, but not my shadow, I don't think it belongs to me".
Musically, the electronic heartbeat is like your own, you don't really notice it unless you listen out for it. However, without it there would be a noticeable abscence, to say the least. Powerful drumming and black metal-esque guitars make this a grandoise affair; stripped back I'd imagine it could take on an even darker and more beautiful form.
Laima comes in different forms, but hopefully this manifestation will be the one in which her journey continues. It's a great sound, and one we don't get enough of anywhere these days, let alone in Oxford. Buy it on iTunes, CDBaby or Amazon, and see her live at the next opportunity. I know the sun's out now, but give it a week and this will be the perfect soundtrack to the dying embers of the season – and the awakening of another bitter wintertide.

South Africa's Constitutional Court has ruled that the speaker of parliament can order a secret ballot in an upcoming no-confidence vote against President Jacob Zuma, a move that would open the way for members of his own party to vote against him.
That might make it possible to eventually oust the president, who has come under mounting pressure to resign over a string of corruption scandals.
"Without any fear of reprisals, the secret ballot has been identified as the best voting mechanism" by opposition parties, Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng said during the court session.
Zuma has already survived several no-confidence motions, but he is now facing increasing criticism within his own African National Congress (ANC).
Analysts say a faction of the party could turn against him if the ballot is secret.

Director/cult icon Guillermo del Toro's latest film may or may not be called THE SHAPE OF WATER, but regardless of the title it has certainly been shaping up nicely so far. Things are looking even better now that one of the most captivating actors working today is in talks to join the cast, which already includes Sally Hawkins (pictured below), Octavia Spencer, Richard Jenkins, and Michael Stuhlbarg.
That actor is Michael Shannon, and while del Toro and Fox Searchlight are keeping the details about his character under their hats, like they're doing with everything regarding this film, it's a given that Shannon would be a fantastic addition.
While this project is rumored to have a plot that sounds like del Toro drew inspiration from the CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON trilogy and the Abe Sapien character from HELLBOY, the official description is:
An other-worldly story, set against the backdrop of Cold War era America circa 1963. A mysterious and magical journey from master storyteller Guillermo del Toro.

Austin Bibens-Dirkx, a dominant pitcher for the Victoria Seals in 2009, has been tearing it up in the Venezuela Winter League. He was recently named as a VWL All Star, based on his outstanding 2.47 ERA (6th best in the league) and 1.05 WHIP. He has also posted a 5-2 record in 11 appearances for Águilas del Zulia. The All Star game is scheduled for this Tuesday night.
When we last checked in on Bibens-Dirkx in September, he had turned his 2011 season around and was back in contention for a spot on the Chicago Cubs' 2012 pitching staff. His recent performance has certainly solidified his position and he will likely get an invitation to spring training with the Cubbies.
Congratulations, Austin!
