The University of Texas at Austin, Harry Ransom Center
|The papers of the Russian-born Irish surrealist poet, translator, literary agent, and publisher George Reavey include notes and manuscript drafts for his poems, his works on Russian literature and life, and his translations of Russian literary works into English, along with extensive correspondence, personal papers, and manuscripts by others. Materials relating to Reavey's Bureau Littéraire Européen (later European Literary Bureau) and the publications of his Europa Press are also present. English, French, Italian, Polish and Russian language materials are present throughout. A small segment of this preliminary inventory replicates and replaces information previously available only in a card catalog. Please see the explanatory note at the end of this finding aid for information regarding the arrangement of the manuscripts as well as the abbreviations commonly used in descriptions.
|The papers range in date from 1914 to 1976 and are arranged in four series: Works, Letters, Recipient, and Miscellaneous, followed by a separate small group of materials previously described in the card catalog.
|The Works series (boxes 1-39) contains manuscripts for a number of Reavey's works, including The Colours of Memory (1955), Faust's Metamorphoses (1932), 14 Great Short Stories by Soviet Authors (1959), Modern Soviet Short Stories (1961), The New Russian Poets (1966), Nostradam (1935), and Signes d'Adieu (1935). There are also a number of Reavey's diaries, notebooks, and notes. Because Reavey was Samuel Beckett's first literary agent, there are memoirs, notes, and writings by Reavey about Beckett in this series. For a complete list of manuscript works by Reavey, see the Index of Works located at the end of this finding aid.
|Letters written by Reavey are found in the Letters series (boxes 40-42), and his incoming correspondence is located in the Recipient series (boxes 43-63). Authors, writers, artists, translators, publications, publishers, and universities make up the bulk of Reavey's correspondents, which include notables such as Samuel Beckett, Brian Coffey, Denis Devlin, Stanley William Hayter, John Lehmann, Thomas MacGreevy, Marianne Moore, Boris Pasternak, Irene Rice Pereira, Dylan Thomas and others. For a complete list of correspondent names, see the Index of Letters (Reavey's outgoing) and the Index of Recipients (Reavey's incoming) located at end of this finding aid.
|The Miscellaneous series (boxes 64-114) includes works and/or correspondence written by or to persons other than Reavey. Most frequently, the works represent by translations created by Reavey or others. The files often include the English translations along with original Russian texts, usually pasteup copies from print sources. Russian authors whose works predominate include Andrey Bely, Boris Pasternak, and Yevgeny Yevtushenko, but the work of more than fifty other Russian poets or writers are represented.
|Samuel Beckett, Brian Coffey, Denis Devlin, Paul Éluard, Charles Henri Ford, and George Reavey are also documented in files for Reavey's Europa Press (1932-1939), which contain advertisements, order forms, book jackets, specimen pages, and some financial information. Also dating from the 1930s, Reavey's European Literary Bureau is represented by an author list and some contracts, notes, and sales information. Some manuscripts in the Miscellaneous series also bear the label or stamp of the European Literary Bureau, but are filed under the author's name. Among the authors represented by original manuscripts in this series are Denis Devlin, Georges Duhamel, Paul Éluard, Jacques Maritain, and Alexey Remizov among others.
|Many personal papers in the Miscellaneous series help to illuminate Reavey's life, such as address and appointment books, biographical and bibliographical notes, contracts, divorce papers, financial records, notebooks, passports, school certificates, and teaching and other employment records. Also present are works, correspondence, and other papers of Reavey's three wives: Gwynedd Reavey (married 1937; divorced 1950), artist Irene Rice Pereira (1902-1971; married 1950, divorced 1959), and playwright Jean Bullowa Reavey (1917-1987; married 1960). The materials representing Pereira are the most extensive and help to document her career. Other relations, such as Reavey's father Daniel and his mother Sophia, are represented by correspondence and other papers.
|A small group of printed invitations, programs, catalogs, and flyers in the Reavey papers represent a number of literary and other cultural events, such as art exhibitions, concerts, readings, and other cultural events, including the London International Surrealism Exhibition of 1936.
|A detailed Index of items in the Miscellaneous series is included at the end of this finding aid.
|The materials previously described in the card catalog include nearly 200 letters between George Reavey and Samuel Beckett from 1932-1976; letters from Beckett to Gwynedd Reavey; letters between Beckett and Jean Bullowa Reavey; a manuscript by Paul Éluard; and a letter from Edward Weeks to Reavey. The container list reproduces the card catalog descriptions of all of these materials, with box 115 containing the letters of Samuel Beckett to George Reavey. The rest of the card catalog materials were distributed into the previous four series as appropriate. The card catalog materials are also indexed in the relevant indexes contained in this finding aid.
|The Ransom Center Photography Collection holds the George Reavey Literary File, consisting of 174 photographs, almost half of which are views of the German invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II. Additional subjects include Reavey, his second wife Irene Rice Pereira, Samuel Beckett, Boris Pasternak, Dylan Thomas, and various other people.

I was a good porn film director and I had a lot of positive reviews over the period of time. I was so determined with the work I do. So one day, this redhead teen Gwen Stark had come for an audition shoot. She was so hot and sexy that I myself wanted to fuck her hard. So what I did was, I told my cameraman to film it while I fucked this hot chick. He agreed and we began. I would say she was so perfect in it.
She gave my monster cock a good blowjob and a perfect ride. This made me so horny and I then had a huge cumshot that I haven't had for months. I would say teens do porn best.

Standing on the bridge over Tidal River watching the fish dash and feed is like looking into another world. A world of buoyancy and flow. Winds have to be strong indeed to prevent the movement on land, but the flow of a river must be different. In the paper this week was a story of a platypus which had been found far out to sea, washed from the river by the floods, by the tyranny of water.
Seeing fish from the land or its built siblings is to see only half the creature. One tail flick and they are gone and we don't see the fish, we see the fleeing fish. And that's different to the fish itself. A zoo tiger is a caged tiger and that's different from a tiger itself. To be able to see the fish as it is (or maybe see more of the fish as it is) you need to join it in the water. Recently I have started to have swimming lessons - not because I can't swim, but because I want to swim better. For a few minutes in each of the lessons I feel like I am actually swimming, not just making the movements that prevent drowning. Each lesson those few minutes get longer. When you watch a fish dash away in fear you are only seeing the movements needed to avoid death. But when the fish don't seem to mind you being there you see a different kind of swimming altogether. The range of movement approaches dance and the single minded swim sprint from fear to safety fades away.
H has never snorkeled before, but looks relaxed as he drifts over fish, biscuit stars and elephant snails. He sees a squid, but it's gone by the time I get there. Arms folded across his back he looks like a seal, albeit a seal with a mask and snorkel. He circles thumb and first finger to say he OK. You can see him smiling inside the face mask. A fin kick and he is off. Independent on a cool summer's morning.
Under the pilot pier life abounds, the stanchions and piles rich with weed and sponges. Limpets cling in the splash zones, worms wave their fans. Around each wooden pile the currents have cut a trench, and here fish seem to gather. Wrasse, gobies, sliver fish, bronze fish, fish with glitter jewel colors. Small fish, large fish, larger fish ghosting in the background. The trip ends and we walk heavy footed along the beach. Shark eggs, abalone shells, dead-men's fingers, storm washed beach finds in the rain. Sandy feet, and tired legs. We go in search of lunch.
Summer comes to an end, autumn beckons. Before the water chills we head to Portsea for another swim. I'd been here before, and was spreading words of confidence and encouragement to H. The journey down was punctuated with accounts of some of the more ridiculous world records that people have gained. Most needles in the head, most straws in the mouth, most time wasted sticking needles in your head - that sort of thing. The water around Portsea pier was as clear as clear can be, but there was still a kind of veil drawn over what you could see. The glitter splash of small fish hardens the surface, colours shift and the back swish of waves pulls at the sand. Nets are cast for crabs, lured in by chicken frames. Buckets full of crabs line the pier edge, all legs and claws, destined for the pot.
We walk backwards into the water, facing the land, avoiding the embarrassment of a fin fall. Within minutes we are drifting over seaweed gardens, green and mobile. It feels like you are drifting over a forest canopy, like some giant bird. This time a waterproof camera hangs from my wrist, but I soon find out how hard it is to use. I'm moving, the fish and plants are moving and the sunlight blanks out the screen. Point. Click. Hope. Click again. Pheasant shells are gathered from the sea bed, disturbing the sleep of snails. Old Wives - a classically stripy fish - hover by the rock edge. We are guided into deeper water by the liquid flowing edge of a rock band. When you dive down, you can peek into the dark under shelf of the rock edge. Secret places, with hidden things. If you try to show anybody you can never find them again, as if seeing them causes them to disappear, some form of Schrödinger's fish. It might be there, but then again.
Sitting in the darkness under the pier, looking out into the sparkling, sun bright water, feels like staring into the emptiness of space. The millions of little cells catching the light in green sparkles, I breathe in what they produce and wonder at the connection of it all. Tiny plants, me and H, the sea dragon, all on a tiny blue planet, a water world, spinning through space.

Hope each of you is having a marvelous day!
Maybe you could trade the scraps with someone else so you don't get tired of using the same fabrics.
You are an excellent quilt whisperer! I have difficulties hearing what it says sometimes. This quilt is just beautiful with just enough borders. Great job Julie!
I love what you have done with it Julie. You are right - the quilt just tells you what it needs. And until you listen, nothing goes right. I have to leave some of my half finished tops for a while til I can come back in the right frame of mind to listen to what its telling me. That's the trouble with rarely using a pattern, but it's also all the fun of it.
You've worked your scrap magic on yet another beautiful creation, Julie! You really did focus and the resulting quilt is wonderful!
Your "focus plan" has paid off already.
That is a really cute quilt! Focus is a wonderful thing.
I love the sashing you added, it really changed the whole look!
The quilt was telling you good things Julie. The extra borders really turn it into something very special indeed. Well done.
Sydney, Australia
Some quilts are bossy--this one sounds like it was making reasonable requests:). It looks great!
Excellent! I can never make any headway with strings. Mine just end up being a mess!
The end result is beautiful, so I think the quilt was right to ask for an outer border!! Happy Wednesday :)
And so the quilt should be named 'Focused', or something similar and more clever. It's scrappily delightful.
Beautiful as always! :)
Fantastic finish! I love the multiple borders.
The borders really add to this quilt! You have a great design eye to pull this all together so nicely. Love it!
It looks so beautiful, Julie, and the extra borders are just what it needed.(I just love using scraps, don't you? I think they add so much more to a quilt than a planned design.
I love how your quilts talk to you.:) Wonderful scrappy quilt top!
So glad you are okay after that storm, Julie! I love the flying geese, the stars, AND the string quilt---I would have such a hard time saying which one is my favorite. Love them ALL. :)
What a lovely quilt! Gorgeous fabrics that work together so well!
It looks great.
Looks wonderful, Julie!! I love how it just kept speaking to you until it was done! The multiple borders look great!

Image by Stephen Poff via FlickrMy story might be different from others on this site. It hasn't ended in atheism, or even agnosticism, though maybe that to a degree. I'm always willing to learn, anyway. I am now a rather confirmed mystic/pagan type, but my experience with Christianity was a rough one, and I thought I'd share, however it may be received.

text: HR burdened by legislative changes HR professionals are spending an increasing amount of time on legal and compliance work, and it's those in mid-sized companies who are feeling the biggest burden. HRD's Global HR survey, which reviewed responses from more than 4,400 industry professionals in the US, Canada, Australia in New Zealand, found that there is widespread caution around legislative changes, with smaller and mid-sized companies struggling the most to keep up. "Keeping abreast with breadth and depth of legislation is always a challenge," one Australian respondent confirmed. An HRD in Canada reported feeling similarly burdened, commenting that with there is "a great deal of legislation coming at employers, on top of everything else we need to be compliant with". Meanwhile in New Zealand, an HR executive commented, "We are facing huge H&S legislation changes and getting the business to buy into those and understand them fully is going to be challenging." But while it was clear from survey results that this is an issue felt globally, Australian HR professionals are feeling particularly worn down. In 2013 alone, they were expected to be across a number of changes in workplace legislation, including: the long-gestating harmonisation of national Workplace Health & Safety laws; expansion of the Fair Work Commission's power to intervene in cases of workplace bullying; changes to the minimum wage; and constant tweaking of the Fair Work Act. As one respondent from down under noted, "Just having the stamina to stay in this profession and cope with the legislative changes is hard enough."

Please note we are not taking Shamanic Healing one-to-one bookings during August, September & October 2017
What is shamanic healing?
Shamanic healing works at the soul level, a part which culturally so often seems to get forgotten. It reaches parts of us that conventional and other alternative healing methods can't reach. We use the core shamanist healing methods which are used in indigenous cultures across the world, working in the other realms, and accessing the healing which you most need at this time.
People are drawn to us for 121 shamanic healing sessions for all kinds of reasons. For example:
- It might be that they have a blockage in their life and can't move on, or are consumed by grief for the loss of someone close to them and sense that there is something deeper going on inside them which needs healing.
- Or someone might have advised them that they think they might need a soul retrieval, or they are struggling to get over the break up with a partner and move on. It might be that they are drawn to working on some past life issues holding them back from living life to the full, or unhelpful ancestral patterns which have come down the family line.
- They might be feeling really sensitive in the world, and seem to absorb other peoples problems.
- Or they might be holding a lot of anger and rage which needs to be released, or that they feel ungrounded in the world, and need support with feeling more whole, and well protected.
Usually our clients have an inclining of what the issue is, and together we take it from there.
How do I book an appointment?
You can book an appointment here from November 2017 onwards.
What will happen in a 121 shamanic healing session?
We take a client centered approach, where we are guided by you and your needs, and what you are most present with.
We will begin by talking, where you share what has drawn you to the session. A number of possibilities for what we might do in the session are shared, and then you choose what you would like to do.
Often our clients don't know what the problem is, but they have an inclining and have been drawn to have a session to work things through.
Sometimes it may be that we need to journey ourselves to speak with our guides and get insights into what healing should take place. If this is the case then we will explain this and relay the information we are given for you to make the decision yourself whether you choose to go ahead with the advice our guides have given us. Everything is entirely your choice, led by you.
There is no need to send us any information or context with us before hand, as we work in the moment. We work in a confidential space, although we have a cat called Blue who likes to sit in on the sessions on occasion!
Here is a list of the of the kinds of work which might take place in one or a few sessions. Please click on the heading to be taken to an overview of that particular healing practice. The list is designed to give you a flavour and some background information into the work that we do and what may happen in the session. However, each session is different, and we will not know how exactly we will be working with together and what healing method will take place until we meet, so please just treat the list as a guide.
- Journey, guidance & connection work
- Past life healing
- Protection work
- Soul retrieval
- Soul exchange
- Depossession
- Psycho-pomping
- Curse unraveling
- Ancestral healing
Who will I see?
We (Jason and Nicola) work together or separately, depending on what our clients are drawn to. Typically the sessions are run by Nicola, with Jason joining the sessions for depossession work and curse unraveling work.
*** At present Jason is not available for carrying our Curse Unravelling, Depossession or Extraction work until further notice***
How long will a session last and how much does it cost?
Orr prices are:
|Curse Unraveling, Depossession, Extraction
|£120 for a 2 hour session
|With Jason and Nicola
|All other shamanic healing, including Soul Retrieval, Soul Exchange, Journey work, Ancestral work and Past Life
|£60 for 1.5 hour session
|With Nicola
Our prices are calculated based on whether one or both of us will need to be present for the work, as some healing modalities require two of us, and a little extra time.
How many sessions will I need?
This all depends on you and what you are working with.
Typically our clients will come for one or two sessions to work through something, sometimes more like four or five, spread over a month or two. Some clients we see just the once and the work they needed is completed, and others want to come back to do more work on it, or work through something else.
As with the session itself, the number of sessions you have is entirely led by you and your wishes and needs.
Where will the session be held?
We work from our home which is around 4 miles outside of Chorley in Lancashire. Its around 10 minutes off the M61, or a 7 minute taxi journey from the train station if you are coming by public transport as we are not on a bus route. Chorley train station is on the Manchester to Preston line and there are trains every half hour or so.
If you are coming by car we will send you detailed instructions on how to find us as sat nav can be unreliable with our address. There is car parking on our street outside of our house.

Even though its a little overcast here in Perth, it still feels like spring - there is a balmy breeze and a hint of summer in the air.
Spring always reminds me of my Dad's saying ..
Spring is Sprung
The Grass has ris'
I wonder where the
Birdies is?
My garden is a pretty bad state, having been neglected the whole of winter. As most things are in pots (in preparation for moving to Wattle Grove - 3 years ago!) plants don't do very well and need a lot more TLC.
Going to have an overhaul of the whole garden this Spring and while I am doing that I will use it as a subject to develop my photography skills.
BIG learning curve ahead of me as I am (a) not very artistic (b) not at all photogenic myself and (c) clueless when it comes to this whole subject. But we all have to start somewhere and this is where I start to learn and experiment about the art of taking better photo's.

New York City plans to sue the firearms industry today, charging it with creating a public nuisance by selling products that end up being used in crimes, officials said Monday.
New York's lawsuit, which would add the largest city in the United States to the list of 30 cities and counties that have sued gun makers, is expected to be filed in federal court today, a city lawyer said.
New York's lawsuit will say the firearms industry's selling practices create a public nuisance by allowing guns to be sold in an illegitimate secondary market where they fall into the hands of criminals.
"We're also saying that they have failed or refuse to design safer guns and that they have created a wall of deniability by avoiding monitoring the downstream path of their product," said Lorna Goodman, a senior attorney for the city's Corporation Counsel.

Summerlin® Celebrates 25 Years
Twenty-five years ago Summerlin® made its debut in Southern Nevada with the relocation of the Meadows School to the budding community in 1988, and the opening of The Hills Park and the Summerlin Parkway in 1990. Today, the 22,500-acre master-planned community that helped establish Las Vegas as a great place to live and set a high standard of living for the valley, is marking its 25th anniversary with a digital timeline on summerlin.com that details Summerlin's quarter-century history.
"We are exceedingly proud of what Summerlin was, is and will become as it continues to unfold," said Kevin Orrock, president of Summerlin. "The Howard Hughes Corporation first envisioned the community as a place of aspiration where southern Nevadans would want to live, and today, that vision is a reality for more than 100,000 residents who call the community home."
The timeline spans from 1952, when Howard Robard Hughes, Jr. purchased the land where Summerlin is now located, to 1988 when plans for the community were first announced by then Summa Corporation, predecessor to The Howard Hughes Corporation. Though still a work in progress based on continued development, the timeline ends with the milestone opening of Downtown Summerlin in 2014 and the commencement of construction in 2015 on The Constellation, Downtown Summerlin's first residential project.
The timeline marks the construction of each of the community's 20 villages, the opening of its 22 public and private schools and 14 houses of worship, as well as the opening of major roadways including Summerlin Parkway and the 215 beltway along the eight-mile stretch that runs through Summerlin. Signature amenities such as the Summerlin Library and Performing Arts Center, Summerlin Hospital Medical Center, Red Rock Casino Resort Spa and golf courses like Tournament Players Club, are featured on the timeline as projects that significantly enhance the community's signature quality of life.
"Many Summerlin residents have been here since the beginning, and today, children and grand-children also call it home," said Orrock. "That speaks volumes about the quality of life we have created here. As we endeavor to develop Summerlin's remaining 5,400 acres, it's hard to imagine that the best is yet to come."
Visit Summerlin.com to see the new timeline and to learn more about the community's amenities and newest neighborhoods.
PHOTO CAPTION: Featured in the new Summerlin.com history timeline, Cal and Maria Champlin, along with their children, made history as the first residents of Summerlin. They moved to The Hills village in March 1991.
About Summerlin:
Developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation, Summerlin began to take shape in 1990 and has ranked in the country's top 10 bestselling master-planned communities for nearly two decades. Located along the western rim of the Las Vegas valley, Summerlin encompasses 22,500 acres with approximately 6,000 acres still remaining to accommodate future growth within the master plan. The community is currently home to more than 100,000 residents who enjoy an unparalleled list of amenities. These include more than 150 neighborhood and village parks, more than 150 completed miles of trails, 22 public and private schools, 14 houses of worship, nine golf courses, shopping centers, medical and cultural facilities, business parks and dozens of actively selling floor plans. Homes are available in a variety of styles – from single-family homes to townhomes and condominiums– priced from the $300,000s to more than $1 million. Custom homesites in The Ridges are priced from the $400,000s. Luxury apartment homes offer monthly rents starting from the $900s. Visit www.summerlin.com for more information.

Batman is having a one man Falcone Family punching party all through Gotham, and though he's working hard, it's all for nothing, Commissioner Forbes doesn't accept any criminals turned in by Batman. Speaking of Forbes, once Carmine Falcone gets the message Batman aimed to deliver (You know, a "This is MY city" sort of deal), Falcone phones his good buddy Forbes to tell him that enough is enough, take the Batman down.
Back in the cave, Bruce is digging up some dirt on Falcone, who set up a pretty extensive criminal empire in Hong Kong after fleeing Gotham, the only question is why he came back to Gotham, and why now? Bruce wants to do some cross reference on Falcone's Hong Kong associates and the men he turned into the GCPD, but surprise, none of them were booked!
Elsewhere, Jason Bard is showing up to a murder scene a couple of days after the fact, and is instantly ambushed by Vicki Vale, looking for info on the GCPD's stance on the gang war that has seemed to break out, and why the response on this murder came so late... What about that murder?
Well, two days ago, Stephanie Brown was in another phone booth trying to call her mother, who didn't pick up, and was talking to her ex-husband Cluemaster about their problems with her instead. As Steph is on the phone, some dude kicks her out of it before she can hang up, and lucky for her, because a drive by set for the exact phone booth she was in happens just seconds later, thus, the dead guy Bard is laying "fresh eyes" on. After all that, Bard stops Vicki in her tracks and points out that he's one, not going to just hand out off the record info, and two wouldn't even think of doing that, regardless of protocol, with a reporter he doesn't have a relationship with. HINT HINT... probably. But hey! Forbes is on the phone, and it's Batman setup time.
So the signal goes off, Bard making it known how uncomfortable he is with this plan. Batman shows up and tries to reason with Forbes, but Dickhead isn't having it. All the sudden, Bard tells the D-Team of SWAT officers to fire, and D-Team consists of smoke ammunition, which Bruce uses to get away, making note of Bard potentially being on his side.
So with the knowledge that he has at least some allies in the GCPD left, Bruce figures it's time to do some direct research on Carmine Falcone and heads off to Hong Kong. On his arrival in the Batplane, a woman (who is confirmed to be a new character) who is in some Splinter Cell looking gear, repels down a skyscraper, notices the Batplane, and seems familiar, but not too pleased with Batman's presence in the city.
The Good:
Like I predicted, now that the one-shot issues from each writer are out of the way, the book has seemingly gotten back to pretty solid short arcs which will flow better from issue to issue. This one didn't go off in a whole bunch of new tangents, but instead started to really develop the plots that had already been introduced, most of which were from John Layman's issue #4.
Of those plots, I'm interested to see what goes down in Hong Kong, and who that lady is. Apparently she's of some big consequence, as both Scott Snyder and James Tynion have been saying the character introduced in this arc is pretty big. But besides that mystery lady, I always enjoy when Batman gets out of Gotham, but there's also so much going back in the city, you know we'll also get our fill of it with cutaways for the next couple of issues, or for however long Bruce is in Hong Kong. Visually speaking, Hong Kong does create the potential of some beautiful imagery.
Speaking of visuals! GUILLEM MARCH! This guy has been one of my favorite artists at DC since Gotham City Sirens, and I'm glad to once again have him back in Gotham, with colorist Tomeu Morey, who does an excellent job of complimenting his work. March gets stereotyped too much as a cheese-cake guy, and yeah, he draws a lot of it, but so do a lot of other artists from Spain or South America, and if I'm being honest? I don't mind cheesecake every now and then, and love me some pinups, fucking sue me. But I digress, because the point is, there's not a bit of cheesecake in this issue, nothing but badass looking Batman, so the haters can go suck it as far as I'm concerned.
The Bad:
This marks the beginning of the end for John Layman in Gotham! Sad.
Also, I thought it was a bit silly and naive of Batman not to realize that Forbes was on the take from Falcone and turning the GCPD against him.
The Steph Brown mom thing still bums me out.
The Steph Brown mom thing still bums me out.
The Bottom Line:
Focus is what I said Eternal needed the last couple of issues, and focus is what it got. The series has moved past the constant introduction of new players and concepts, and has finally started to really develop some of those early plot lines that were promised. That's not to say we're done getting new characters and concepts, the final page is proof enough we're far from done, but for awhile there, Etenral was like walking through the perfume section from hell with sales associates spraying shit in your face left and right, but that time has passed, all the core ingredients are in place, and now it's time for the flavor... METAPHORS! But in all seriousness, solid issue, and I'm glad the core setup seems to be over and everything else is moving forward.

this is yellow's final outing (I've had a word with April and its very accommodating of March's yellow's intrusion into its month (April has a very gentle colour - you'll be introduced to that very soon...)
The second letter for March is F... lots of lovely options for that - and I went for 'feathers' - it was a close call between that & Fabric & Felt - but I didn't have any yellow fabric so that put a stop to that option (and yes, of course I could've painted or dyed it but this letter was late already so lets not complicate things any further...)
aaaaanyhoo I had a plan: Feathers + yellow paint + papers creating a journal page about feathers. I find them interesting. Individually they are such gentle, soft, fragile items but put together can have such strength and give such freedom...
I have 2 sets of feather dies - and I wanted to use the smaller ones.... could I find these dies??
would other dies 'do' in their place?
It was one of those situations where a substitute is NOT going to be good enough/won't work! (I might've had a frustrated mini 'where are the dies, I've looked everywhere' meltdown at this point while creating what started out a such a simple plan)...
So, after what seemed like hours of unsuccessful searching, I created the page without the feathers - with F now being represented by FRUSTRATING, FIND, and FATIGUE !! it became a page about how I felt at the time of creating, not about the original subject matter.... I like that!
Its a page in my 6in spiral bound journal.... I rollered Slate Fresco Finish around the edges after rollering the paint onto an alphabet foam stamp - love the size of this stamp...
Next I added a wash of yellow watercolour (enjoying working with watercolour paints at the moment)...
then I thought what this page needs is a sprinkling of the new PaperArtsy Infusions - I chose 'Golden Sands'.. then I added a couple of strips of patterned papers.... I like the amount of white space still remaining..
The die cut gears are there because my gears just don't go round fast enough when I'm fatigued.
I quite liked the page like this... not too bad.... but its missing something... and do you know what that is???
FEATHERS - it is missing FEATHERS.. lol (like a dog with a bone! I just can't let it go!)
So I got out the dies I could find (Sizzix, Tim Holtz - cut and emboss feathers) & die cut two.. coloured them and attached them to the page...
.. and now I really like the page... and the feather dies that I could find and used turned out to be better than the others because they have texture and detail....
This was a lesson for me - to use what I have and make it work - not waste time & energy trying to find the 'perfect' missing item - the page turned out well in the end - and now has meaning on a completely different level.
Thanks for stopping by
PS remember the mustard trousers from my previous blog post? They've arrived, and they're lovely!! Now I just need to be brave enough to wear them! :o)

The Sunday Mail
LAST week, Cde Juliet Chitsungo whose Chimurenga name was Cde Dadirai Wafawanaka narrated how Rhodesian forces slaughtered defenceless comrades at Nyadzonya and how she survived the massacre by going to the toilet. She narrated how she was among the first group of trained female freedom fighters to be deployed to the war front and how she rose to become a provincial commander.
Cde Dadirai continues her story with our team comprising Munyaradzi Huni and Tendai Manzvanzvike narrating the famous Battle of Mavhonde and a touching address by Cde Josiah Tongogara to the first group of female recruits at Chifombo. She explains why some comrades at the war front thought the Lancaster House talks were a selling out of some sorts. Cde Dadirai weeps uncontrollably describing how some of the comrades she commandeered during the liberation struggle are living today. Read on …
Cde Dadirai: The Battle of Mavhonde, we also used to call it Man to Man Battle. This battle started early in the morning. Some of the commanders were seated waiting to have their breakfast. Like I told you I was also a commander but as a woman, I was running around to make sure we were to be served good breakfast. So I was at the kitchen talking to the female freedom fighters who were preparing the breakfast. We saw a small spotter plane flying over us. It passed over Chaminuka Base. Less than five minutes after this, we suddenly heard the explosion of a bomb. Two comrades were instantly injured by this bomb. That's when we discovered that hondo yatotanga. Ndakatiza ndakananga kumadokero kwakanga kune anti-air machine gun. People were running in different directions. There was commotion. Ndakahwanda paiva neartillery as the bombardment intensified. The Rhodesian forces were dropping bombs each and every second. It was very difficult to even fire back.
When I got the chance, I dashed to a nearby mountain where one of the anti-airs was mounted. I took cover there as the battle raged. From my hiding position, I saw some of our comrades fighting back. They really put up a big fight. Vakatodonhedza ndenge dzemabhunu, especially the comrades who had maanti-air. This battle went on for a couple of hours. When the fighting subsided, we went to Chimoio to re-organise ourselves. However, we lost quite a number of comrades during this battle, especially around the Chaminuka Base and Takawira Base.
With the firepower that the Rhodesians came with and the way we managed to repeal them, for us this was a major victory. I think the Rhodesians never thought our comrades could fight back and when we fought back, we took them by surprise. We were so confident that we had taught the Rhodesians a lesson such that we didn't even change our position after burying the comrades who had died and took to hospital those who were injured. The Rhodesians later attacked us again and again but our comrades managed to put up a fierce fight. By this time, one of my responsibilities was to go to Beira to bring food supplies for the comrades who were at Mavhonde. Later I was deployed to the war front around Manicaland with a group of other comrades. After the battle at Mavhonde, we were instructed to carry some ammunition from Mavhonde into Rhodesia. There was a lot of ammunition at Mavhonde and our leaders decided that we should carry the ammunition into Rhodesia in preparation for any eventuality because by this time, the Lancaster House talks had started.
While at the war front, takanga tisati tatomboita mazuva akawanda, that's when we heard that Cde Tongogara had passed away.
SM: Tell us a bit more about this Mavhonde Camp.
Cde Dadirai: Mavhonde was our camp which had quite a number of bases. There was a training camp, security camp and headquarters. This camp was between mountains near the border with Rhodesia. At this camp, we were armed to the teeth because we knew that because the Lancaster House talks had started, Smith would try to play dirty. So we were ready for the Rhodesian forces and I think when they came, they were also thinking this was going to be a massacre. When we fought back, we took them by surprise.
SM: When you heard that Cde Tongo had passed away, how did you receive the news?
Cde Dadirai: Cde Tongo akanga ari munhu aiva nechipo. Vaiti vakakumisai paparade, talking about going to war, wainzwa kuti ndava kuda kunorwisa muvengi. He had a voice of command such that even munhu airwara aibva aita shungu kuti let me do what I can to fight this war. When we heard that Cde Tongo had died, many comrades openly cried. You could see kuti macomrades abatikana and vagumirwa. Takachema.
SM: What do you remember most about Cde Tongo, especially his words?
Cde Dadirai: (long pause) Cde Tongo vaigara vachitaura kuti ini handisi kuenda kuZimbabwe. I don't know why because he always said this. As commanders we would sit with him and he would openly tell that kuti ini handisi kuenda nemi kunoona rusununguko rweZimbabwe.
SM: Did anyone ask him why?
Cde Dadirai: Most of us thought he was just joking. We didn't even ask him why. You see, we were in a war situation and it was very possible kuti isuwo we would not see a free Zimbabwe. So we never took him serious. Cde Tongo vakanga vasina majokes akanyanya but he would just open up sometimes and speak his mind.
SM: You worked with Cde Tongo for how long?
Cde Dadirai: I knew Cde Tongo when I was still at Chifombo. The first overall commander of Zanla was Cde Noel Mukono while Cde Tongo was the chief of operations. Later Cde Tongo took over as the overall commander. When we arrived at Chifombo, I think it was after about two months, we were called as recruits to a parade. I think we were around 30 recruits. I remember he had his red scarf. Maziso avo akanga asinga jairike. Aityisa. There were big red eyes.
On this day he said "vasikana vamwe venyu vaenda kufarm (Zanu farm near Lusaka). Vana vadiki vaenda kuchikoro. Imi masara kuno takusiyai nekuti kune macomrades ari kufront. Tirikuda kuti timbobatsirana kutakura zvombo kuendesa kufront. Asi zvamasara pano, muri vashoma kwazvo. Pane makamaradha (Frelimo comrades) and pane our comrades. Makabva kumusha muchiti muri kuda kuuya kuno. Vamwe makanzi muri kuenda kuchikoro asi handizvo zvatava kuita. Vaenda kuchikoto tati vana vadiki. Nekuwanda kuchaita vamwe, imi muchazoendawo. Asi hatina kuti pano ndepekuuya kuzodanana nevarume kana kuuya kuzoroorana. Vabereki vazonzwa kuti vana vatakatora vava kuitwa vakadzi. Handizvo. Handizvo zvamavinga pano. Basa ramavinga pano ndere kusunungura Zimbabwe so that you enjoy this Zimbabwe. You enjoy this Zimbabwe takasununguka and vanoroorwa voroorwa vachichata zvakanaka in a free Zimbabwe." These words really touched me. Indeed, we had left our parents back home and this was not the time and place yekuita nhumbu. But as they say "hunhu muridzi waho." Cde Tongo was a great teacher. He gave us lots of advice. He was very clear.
SM: But we hear that later many comrades fell in love and some actually got married during the liberation struggle?
Cde Dadirai: It's true. This was now later after 1974. Remember during the later stages of the liberation struggle vanhu vakazenge vawandisa. It became very difficult to control people, but Cde Tongo always preached this message. You know when the struggle started, we were given the message that hondo yamada iyi musaite zvekudanana kana kurarana. We were told kuti mukaita musikanzwa iyoyi muchatadza kudzoka kumusha nekuti zvinhu izvi zvine mhiko. We got this message from Mbuya Nehanda and masvikiro akawanda. But like I told you, hunhu muridzo waho. Some comrades didn't take heed and indeed many perished. I had my first child in 1980. But I now have four children. I want to thank God for this.
SM: You said when Cde Tongo passed away you were now at the war front. Did you finally get the opportunity to engage in battle with the Rhodesian forces at the war front?
Cde Dadirai: This was now the time of ceasefire after the Lancaster House talks.
SM: We hear some comrades were skeptical about this ceasefire?
Cde Dadirai: Yes, that's very true. We didn't trust Ian Smith. That's why some of our comrades didn't go to the assembly points. We thought Smith was up to something since we had defeated him. It took us a very long time to accept that indeed Smith was to observe the ceasefire.
SM: We hear that some comrades at the war front, were against the Lancaster House talks. They were talking of the bush-to-office strategy?
Cde Dadirai: Yes, that's very true. We wanted to march from the bush into the offices. Many freedom fighters were saying lets hit Smith such that tongonopinda in offices without talking to him. I remember Cde Joshua Musihairambwi came and said "I think kuLancaster takatengesa mbichana." He said tiri kuenda hedu kuZimbabwe asi takatengesa mbichana. He spoke with his Ndebele accent.
SM: What did he mean?
Cde Dadirai: He meant that zvataitaurirana kuti tiri kusvika tichipinda mumaoffice it's no longer possible. We only got to accept ceasefire because these were orders coming from our commanders. We could not go against the orders of our commanders.
SM: By the way, where there any female comrades among the comrades who went to Lancaster?
Cde Dadirai: Ummm, no.
SM: Why? How did you receive this?
Cde Dadirai: It was about seniority. We respected our leaders.
SM: We always hear about "gwara reChimurenga or gwara rehondo." Can you explain to us what this was all about?
Cde Dadirai: This meant following zvaidiwa nemusangano in our bid to win the liberation struggle. This meant adhering to the party's ideology. Whatever we said and whatever we did, our guiding principle was the ideology of Zanu.
SM: During ceasefire, where did you go?
Cde Dadirai: I went to Dzapasi Assembly Point. I was at this assembly point for about two months then I came to Goromonzi Farm Two which was a transit camp. I was the camp commander at this camp. One of my duties was to select comrades, both male and female who were going for different missions. When I say missions I mean courses in several countries like Romania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia and so on. I was the camp commander from 1980 up to March 1982 when I went for integration into the national army.
SM: When you came back from the liberation struggle, how were you received?
Cde Dadirai: I was received very well. My babamunini who used to stay in Highfield spotted me in one of the newspapers. You know when we came from the liberation struggle, there were very touching moments. I remember some parents who came all the way from Manicaland after they saw my picture in the newspaper. They came looking for me thinking that I was their daughter. There were many such cases as parents looked for their children. I remember one day when I was walking in town, one woman started calling me with a wrong name. She kept following me so I stopped and she told me that she thought I was her daughter. She was shattered when I told her my name. Such things happened many times. You see, for a person like me it was easy for my family to identify me because like I told you I was a commander. Many people knew me. Can you imagine just another comrade? Some parents had a nightmare finding their children. I can tell you some parents up to this day have had no closure after failing to find their children. As you know we had Chimurenga names and this complicated issues because the parents would come looking for their children using birth names and we didn't know them. This created problems and in the end parents moved from one camp to the other. It was frustrating.
Up to this day, I have parents who still come to me looking for their children. They say Cde Dadirai, we we hear kuti ndimi makanga muina mwana wedu. Do you know what happened to him or her? Vandinoziva ndinotaura but others ndinenge ndisingazivi. Some parents tell me of strange things happening in their families because their sons and daughters didn't come back from the struggle. Also the children of some of the comrades, who were born during the liberation struggle keep coming to me asking what I know about the fate of their fathers and mothers. It's very painful, especially when I don't have answers. I feel hopeless.
So when he saw me in the newspapers, my babamunini came to Goromonzi camp and takambundirana when I saw him. We were overwhelmed with joy. Babamunini then said we were supposed kuenda kumusha and I said I could not do that before asking for permission from my commanders. I spoke to Cde Agnew Kambeu (Chimombe) and Cde Joseph Khumalo. They agreed. So I went kumusha kuMt Darwin to see my parents. I was there for two days only due to pressure of work.
SM: When you went back to see your parents, did you conduct any ritual?
Cde Dadirai: When I went back for the first time, there was no ritual. But when I later went to my original home area, Nyamweda in Mhondoro, svikiro in our area, the famous Sekuru Mushore vakandipa mvura yekugeza nefodya. During the war, we believed in masvikiro so ndakazvitambira.
SM: You joined the liberation struggle when you were young and managed to survive all the years. What do you attribute this to?
Cde Dadirai: Zuva rako rinenge risati rasvika.
SM: You obviously had some friends during the liberation struggle. Do you have shamwari yeropa who passed away during the liberation struggle?
Cde Dadirai: Kuhondo kwakanga kusina waunoti uyu ndiye wangu chaiye chaiye. The person next to you was your friend at that particular time. I say this became kana pfuti dzarira, the person next to you is the one who can defend you. When you get injured, he or she is the one who knows what to do. So comrade wese akafa, akakuvara and akapona ndicomrade wangu. Vese ishamwari dzeropa. The visions of these comrades, especially those vakasara musango still haunts me.
SM: Some comrades say while during the liberation struggle there was a strong bond between comrades, after the attainment of independence things changed as some comrades were given preferential treatment than others. What is your comment?
Cde Dadirai: I think let's leave this issue. Hatina zera nayo. You look at some of the things and it pains you, but that's how things are. Let's leave this issue hatina zera nayo.
SM: No, comrade you went through a painful struggle and we want to know …
Cde Dadirai: Even if we talk, ronda racho haripori. Hazvichagadziriki.
SM: No, comrade let's talk.
Cde Dadirai: Zvigobatsirei? I said these things hatina zera nazvo.
SM: When you look back at the role you played during the liberation struggle, do you have any regrets?
Cde Dadirai: Sometimes you regret. Remember we didn't enjoy humhandara. Most of the female comrades, I am talking about comrades from my era, hapana aneimba zvakanyatso naka. Matambudziko ega, ega. Most of the female comrades from my era ndivo vari kutoriritira mhuri. There are many divorces.
You say maybe if I had remained here, pamwe ndingadai ndinekamba baba vachimuka vachivhurira mbudzi. Sometimes I look at myself and I say ndiri nani when I look at my fellow comrades living in the rural areas. You can't even recognise some of the comrades. Kumukanganwa kuti we were together. Vangova mamvemve asina kana basa. Murume wacho haana, mhuri yake haina kuenda kuchikoro. Inenge mombe yemashanga.
SM: But you said you were responsible for selecting comrades who went for missions overseas?
Cde Dadirai: Yes, I did that at Goromonzi but these comrades would have been brought from several assembly points. And in any case, we are talking of how many people here? Just a small number.
SM: We now know that the first group of female comrades who went for military training at Nachingweya under Zanu totalled 72. You said you were among the commanders. Surely, 72 is a small number. Why didn't you make a plan for these 72 female pioneers?
Cde Dadirai: Remember we had leaders. Zvinhu zvese zvine vanotungamira. We couldn't do that because to us we all had fought the struggle.
SM: As they say, it's never too late. What do you think should be done?
Cde Dadirai: (tears rolling down her eyes. Long pause) I don't know. I really don't know.
SM: As commander you faced many situations during the liberation struggle Cde Dadirai but you prevailed.
Cde Dadirai: Yes, I did. But like I told you we had leaders. I can't use my voice of command today because I am no longer in charge. You know if I look at how Cde Matiwonesa and Cde Tracy were buried after they passed on, my heart bleeds. Let's not go into this please. Just go to Mt Darwin and you will understand what I am talking about.
SM: We hear that it was difficult for some female comrades to get married after the liberation struggle. Why?
Cde Dadirai: Yeah, that's true because if you got married kupovho, people would say akaroora gandanga. Up to this day people still say this.
SM: What advice would you want to give to the youths in Zimbabwe?
Cde Dadirai: Let's treasure our country because many people died for this country. Don't sellout this country thinking you can fix us. Isu tavakuenda kunoguma. Ukatora mukadzi wawakamboramba uchiti ndatambura chiuya undichengete anokutambudza kudarika zvaaiita pakutanga. If you say zviri nani varungu vadzoke, itai henyu but vachakutambudzai stereki. We played our part.
Cherish and defend this country. It's the only country you call yours. Some of us sometimes fail to sleep properly when we look back. We see visions of our comrades who perished during the liberation struggle. Ndinovhumuka sometimes ndichiita sendiri kudeedzwa nemacomrades. These comrades come to my dreams asking kuti ndizvo here zvatakabvumirana zvamava kuita? We still hear their voices saying saka isu takatosara kuno zvachose here?
SM: In some countries when people go through such a traumatic experience like the liberation struggle they go for counselling. Do you think if this had been done in Zimbabwe it would have helped?
Cde Dadirai: Maybe it would have helped. (Tears rolling down). It's unfortunate that many don't feel what we feel. There were not there so to them it's just some story.
SM: Comrade you have been crying a lot during this interview. It looks like there is something deep down your heart that's troubling you. Pour it out comrade. What is it comrade?
Cde Dadirai: (pause. More tears). I said to many people, this is just a story. We went through this. I can't stop shedding tears when I look back. Ngatizvisiyei zvakadaro. (weeping uncontrollably) Like I told you, I was the provincial commander.
When I look at the comrades that I commandeered and the way they are living today, it hurts me. Aahhh, things were never supposed to be like that. No. Pane pamwe paunogumirwa, ndipo panotangira mwari. Mwari ndivo vanoziva zvavachaita.

Syenites are coarse-grained intrusive rocks that are relatively rare on Earth. The best-known occurrences of them can be found in the United States and Germany, where they are sometimes quarried for use as building stones. As noted by Pliny the Elder, the texture of syenites is the same as that of granites, the primary difference between the two being only the amount of quartz they contain. Syenites are often differentiated from one another based upon their constituent ferromagnesian mineral. Some of the most common types of the rock observed are hornblende syenite, augite syenite, and mica syenite.

For instance, unlike with Honeycomb 3.0... this update makes sure to let users have the ability to run a Bluetooth mouse in addition to the multi-touch feature which is quite useful. Although touchscreens can be cool, but as with Laptops... the Mouse is still quite Tempting :) and certainly help to make precise movements as well.
According to the official release page, there are other few enhancements such as...
*. Enhanced UI transitions - For instance, Google says that, starting with navigation, better color choices, improved accessibility and importantly fancy animations such as the launcher app is now optimized and does its transitions faster than ever.
|The "better" home screen in Android 3.1...
*. Better USB support - Just like with Windows XP and up, whenever you plug in a USB device the OS automatically gives you a list of apps that are most suitable for opening the content of that USB device. If it cannot find one, then you'll be greeted with a URL for searching an app online.
*. External Keyboards and Mouse support - As mentioned earlier, by default now Android 3.1 supports a lot of different types of input devices (Keyboards, Mouse, etc), so you can still enjoy using your "old" mouse.
*. Joysticks and Gamepads - This should be apparent actually. When we see dual core processors in Android phones, it does tell us the "powerful" future the Tablets gonna have for them in the future. So, in the future, we'll see a lot of 3D games for Android Honeycomb as a result. And the 3.1 brings a lot of additional devices to its list... which is a pretty smart move by the big G nonetheless.
*. Better Wi-Fi - From now on, you'll have the most secure (well according to the developers anyway) Wi-Fi connections + some minor bug fixes which result in faster connections as well.
Again, these are just a few of the main features the 3.1 brings but the biggest drawback is yet to come.
Unlike with Apple, where, they make sure to let all the users have the ability to update to the newest version as soon as they release it, with Android, even though they've made this available, yet according to sources, it seems that it will take at least another month for the current Honeycomb users to "experience" these new features, which is quite annoying.
So let's hope that in the future, Google would make sure to let everyone who eager to get their hands on the new OS as soon as it hits the downloads.

Tony Blair's time as Middle East envoy representing the US, Russia, the UN and the EU has finally come to an end. Eight years after he took up the role, Blair tendered his resignation and left one question: how come a war criminal ever became a "peace envoy" in the first place?

Source code © 1994-2019 Guillaume Dargaud.
Free use, distribution and modification.
Can be integrated in commercial programs, but the source/fp/lib/dll provided here must not be sold independently.
Last updated on 2019/01/17
"Life would be so much easier if we only had the source code."
Here are some snippets of C code that I hacked for specific purposes. I believe them to be useful and since it was developed while I was paid by the (Italian/French/US) government, you might consider it like your tax money at work. All this code is ANSI C and should work on any 32 bit compiler. I have tested them on LabWindows/CVI on Windows and IRIX on an SGI.
Note: the zip files contain the source code, a lib file for Windows and an FP (function panel) for LabWindows/CVI version 5.5 (the .fp are not backward compatible with previous versions of CVI. Sorry. You can still try to use them by liking directly to the .lib).
First things first, 2 headers that everybody should have, the iso646.h for meaningful connectors (and is better than & or was it && ? No ?) and some version of my def.h useful definitions file.
You can right click on a frame and select [Open frame in new window] to get a full size listing; or SelectAll/Copy/Paste the frame into your favorite editor...
LabWindows/CVI has some great libraries for math/signal stuff. The problem is that most of it works on arrays. What if you have on the fly data and want temporary results ? Here's a standard statistics module I wrote that enables you to keep feeding data to it while getting results. Note that you can compile it for FLOAT or DOUBLE precision. Two structures and two sets of functions: for single and double variables.
2 source files: Statistics.h, statistics.c and a function panel in Statistics.zip. Example of use:
CStat S; StatReset(&S); StatAdd(&S, 10); StatAdd(&S, 0); StatAdd(&S, 50); A=StatAvr(&S); // will return 20 // S.N =3 // S.Min=0 // S.Max=50
When you have a graph with a series of plots, it makes sense to display the plots in a range of colors, like a rainbow. Problem is, the rainbow is not very visible (all the colors have the same luminance), and how do you scale between two colors anyway ? Use my ColorScaleHSL function. This module also gives you conversion functions between RGB colors and HSL color definitions and macros to get darker colors.
See the examples below for different scales of RGB and HSL between 2 colors, or here for examples with 3 colors. If you don't want to bother with the source but want to do some color stuff, check out my color palette generator freeware.
Two source files: ColorScale.h, ColorScale.c and a function panel in ColorScale.zip. Example of use:
COLORREF Color; for (RG=0; RG<NbRG; RG++) { if (Int[RG]<Min) Min=Int[RG]; if (Int[RG]>Max) Max=Int[RG]; } if (Max==Min) MaxInt++; // Avoid divide by 0 for (RG=0; RG<NbRG; RG++) { Color=ColorScaleHSL(VAL_WHITE, VAL_BLACK, (Int[RG]-Min)/(Max-Min)); ... SetCtrlAttribute (PnlFax, Cnvs , ATTR_PEN_COLOR, Color); CanvasDrawLine (PnlFax, Cnvs, P1, P2); }
|8 steps
The strftime function from the ANSI C library is nice, but it lacks a lot of things before being really useful in a scientific environment. My
StrfTime() function adds many formatting codes, like the number of minutes since the start of the year and things like that. And it stays compatible with the standard C
strftime() function.
Two source files for the library (StrfTime.h, StrfTime.c), a documentation file and a function panel in StrfTime.zip. Also 5 utility programs and scripts to compile independently:
StrfTime.exe to format a time string from the command line)
Note 1: this code uses both two and four digits years, and is Y2K compliant within 1970 ~ 2026.
Note 2: 'Julian day' refers here to a day of the year expressed as a number from 1 to 366, not to the true Julian calendar established by Julius Cesar and now superseded by the Gregorian calendar (our calendar). Julian days DDD are equivalent to Month/Days MMDD, but you need to know if the year is a leap year to provide a conversion. Source code included for all programs.
Example of Use in Unix: running through a sequence of dates (I also provide a script that does exactly that, with plenty of extras):
#! /bin/ksh Start=950101 # Start date YYMMDD - included Stop=$(FormatTime.exe NOW "%y%m%d") # End date YYMMDD - excluded YYMMDD=$Start while [ $YYMMDD != $Stop ] do FormatTime.exe $YYMMDD "%d %B %Y" # Skip to next day YYMMDD=$(TimeJump.exe $YYMMDD +1) done
When writing scientific programs, one of the first problem you run into is: how do you want to control the program parameters (input values, default directories...). Asking the user each time is not a good idea because you cannot run the program in a batch and most of the options are probably always the same; hard coding the values inside the program is fine until you need to change them (get the same compiler, same compiling options...); saving in the registry is non portable, complex and allows for only one set of data.
No the usual solution is to put the values inside a file. But then you need a parser to read it properly. Here's one. Note that this is for reading only, you cannot modify the parameter values inside the file. Also this code works but is not optimized for speed.
Two source files: ParseParam.h, ParseParam.c. I did not bother to create a function panel for LabWindows/CVI. Example of use:
char DirSfcBin[MAX_PATHNAME_LEN]; int MaxLat, DoLegend, ColorZero, ColorNan, ColorCurve; float MaxScale; ParseParamString("Param.txt", DirSfcBin); ParseParamInt("Param.txt", MaxLat); ParseParamFloat("Param.txt", MaxScale); ParseParamBool("Param.txt", DoLegend); ParseParamHex("Param.txt", ColorZero); ParseParamHex("Param.txt", ColorNan); ParseParamHex("Param.txt", ColorCurve);Will parse the following Param.txt file:
; This is the parameter file ; Comments are preceded by ; # or ! ; You can use blank lines too ; Parameters can be in any order in the file, in case of duplicates, only the first one is read. DirSfcBin="/raid/data/SfcRain/" ; Use double quotes around strings NAN=-9999. ; float, ignored value MaxLat = 40 ; integer ColorZero= 0xC0C0C0 ; hex value ColorNan = FFFFFF ; optional 0x ColorCuve= 0x101040 ; Syntax error MaxScale=10. ; leading/trailing spaces are ignored DoLegend=Y ; Bool can be T, F, Y, N, True, False, Yes, No, 0, 1...
Computers think using blocks of 8 bits (one byte). When using more, they order the elementary bytes either Least Significant First (LSF, Little Endian) or Most Significant First (MSF, big endian). This causes big trouble when trading binary files between machines.
To determine what your machine is, you can do (in the C programming language):
long L=1; void *Ptr=&L; char B=*(char*)Ptr;
If you get 1 as a result in B, your machine is little endian, if you get 0 it's big endian. The PC is little endian, the SGI machines and Macs are big endian.
Here's a routine and a couple macros to do the byte swapping. Note that normally values more than one byte should be aligned on a byte boundary. It means that a long (4 bytes) can be at address 0x1230, 0x1234, 0x1238... but usually should not be at 0x1231. It depends a lot on compiler options, optimization...
Two source file: SwapEndian.h and SwapEndian.c. Example of use:
#include "SwapEndian.h" ... double D; FILE *file=fopen("File.bin", "rb"); fread(&D, sizeof(D), 1, file); SWAP_DOUBLE(D); printf("Value: %d", D);
You want to lighten up a bitmap or turn it to a negative image ? That's a simple graphic filter (here the function
You want to sharpen up a bitmap or enhance the edges or emboss it ? That can be done with a 3x3 graphic filter (here the function
You want to change a color bitmap to greyscale or switch the colors ? That can be done with an interchannel graphic filter (here the function
This sample source code does all of that (plus 5x5 filters) and works in the same way than the user defined filters of applications like PhotoShop or Paint Shop Pro.
Some sample filters are included, but if you want to define your own, here's how for a 3x3 filter: define a 3x3 matrix with the coefficients of the surrounding pixels, a divider and a bias. For instance {{1,0,0},{0,5,0},{0,0,1}} will apply to a pixel the sum of the upper left pixel, the lower right pixel and 5 times the central pixel. Then it is divided by div and we add a bias. The result is truncated to fit between 0 (black) and 255 (white). This applies separately to the different channels Red, Green and Blue. There is no way to combine the channels with a normal 1x1, 3x3 or 5x5 filter, but you can do it with an interchannel filter. It works on greyscale images, 24 bits RGB or 32 bits images with alpha channel (the filter is applied to the alpha channel, which may not be a desired result).
Two source files: GraphicFilter.h and GraphicFilter.c with 4 functions in them. Also some specific LabWindows/CVI code to do a custom filter popup (one UIR file CustomFilter.uir, and one C file FilterPopup.c with their respective headers). I did not bother creating a function panel for LabWindows/CVI. Download them all (18Kb). Example of use:
Png_ReadBitmapFromFile(NULL, &Bits, &RowBytes, &PixDepth, &Width, &Height, SourcePathName); // Reads a PNG file Filter3x3(Bits, RowBytes, PixDepth, Width, Height, FilterSharpen); // Apply sharpen filter Jpg_SaveBitmapToFile(Bits, RowBytes, PixDepth, Width, Height, DestPathName, Compression)); // Saves to a JPEG file
There are many ways to log error messages out of a program, but I couldn't find one that matched my requirements, so I wrote a simple logging facility. The requirements:
2 source files: SimpleLog.h, SimpleLog.c. Example of use:
// print all messages to stderr, no time stamp SimpleLog_Setup(NULL, NULL, 0, 1, 0, " "); // Avoid repeating the last message SimpleLog_Setup("Msg.log", "%H:%M ", 1, 0, 0, ", "); // Among the last 10 different messages, avoid repeating them at most 20 times SimpleLog_Setup("Msg.log", "%Y%m%d-%H%M%S ", 10, 20, 0, "\t"); // Among the last 100 different messages, avoid repeating them but print them at least once per minute SimpleLog_Setup(NULL, "%Y%m%d-%H%M%S ", 100, 0, 60, " "); // Display everything except debug messages SimpleLog_FilterLevel(SL_NOTICE); SLOG(SWRN, "Fubar has a value of %d", fubar); // This won't be printed with the above filter level SLOG(SDBG, "Expected value was %d", tarfu); // Optional before quitting the program, to get pending messages SimpleLog_Flush();
There's sometimes a need to give a user the possibility to input formulas inside a program without recompiling the whole thing, but it's not possible to do this simply in C (there's no magical 'eval' function). So this is a simple postfix evaluator that can use double and booleans present in the program with various formulas. The requirements:
2 source files: PostfixEval.h, PostfixEval.c. Example of use (also see the testcases at the end of the c file):
double A=2, B=3, C=4; tPE_Variable VarList[10]; tPE_Val Val; char *Formula="AA BB / sin CC + sqrt"; int NV=0; VarList[NV].Name="AA"; VarList[NV].pVal=&A; VarList[NV++].Type=VAL_DOUBLE; VarList[NV].Name="BB"; VarList[NV].pVal=&B; VarList[NV++].Type=VAL_DOUBLE; VarList[NV].Name="CC"; VarList[NV].pVal=&C; VarList[NV++].Type=VAL_DOUBLE; Val=PostfixEval_Compute(Formula, VarList, NV, NULL, NULL) switch (Val.Type) { case VAL_ERROR: printf("\n%s gave error %s", Formula, PostfixEval_ErrMsg(Val.Err, NULL)); break; \ case VAL_BOOL: printf("\n%s is %s", Formula, Val.B?"TRUE":"FALSE"); break; \ case VAL_DOUBLE:printf("\n%s = %f", Formula, Val.D); break; \ default: printf("\nError, invalid result type %d", Val.Type); break; \ }

Ezio shows off his killing skills in new Assassin's Creed Brotherhood trailer
Ubisoft have released a gameplay video for Assassin's Creed Brotherhood showing off some of Ezio's new killing moves. We count at least 21 stylish kills.
There is more than one way to skin a cat and Ubisoft know it. The video sees Ezio wielding swords, spears, knifes, axes, crossbows and more to assassinate his enemies. It's clear Ubisoft live by the mantra: if you're going to kill someone, make sure you do it in a slylish and inventive manner.
We've been getting a lot of Brotherhood promo material lately with this and the 'Brotherhood Diaries', and we really like what we're seeing. While it won't be a radical departure from Assassin's Creed II, it should still prove to be an excellent follow up to one of the best games of 2009.
The game is dated for released on the 19th November, 2010, but if you pre-order the Limited Edition or Special Edition version of Brotherhood, you will get yourself access to the multi-player BETA when it goes live on the 4th October.

Assignments have been starting to pile up, and I know its gonna get worse for the next few months. Since its only the beginning few weeks of the semester, I could still spend my weekends having some fun around town.
A dear friend of mine, Raisa asked me to go this flea market, yet we ended up spending the afternoon going around museums. Not just the spectacular artworks exhibited, which includes some by Monet and Van Gogh just to name a few. The National Museum of Singapore also seems to be having giant balloons in front of their building for some reason. But it was a nice touch. Who knew that some cheap balloons can spice up such classical British architecture of the museum
Just like the museum, I'm also changing my look. If you know me, sleeveless shirt and fedora is a new thing for me. But I guess I just need to give it to try.
hat - cotton on
shirt - DIY
shorts - custom

Dark Vanilla Jungle
by Philip Ridley
Andrea wants a family. She wants to belong, to be loved. She wants it so much that she is prepared to do the unthinkable. Nobody really knows what happened that night in Epping Forest, what happened to the baby. Witchcraft? The press must have got all that wrong, surely. She is ready to tell the truth now. If only you will listen. Philip Ridley's stunning monologue is a tale of abuse, pain, loneliness and the greatest love anyone ever knew. Brutally human and intensely passionate, Fear No Colours' intimate production brings the text closer than ever before.
"'Delivers plentiful rewards'"
"'Warmelo attacks Ridley's wordy script with a chaotic calm'"
"'Potent, brilliant and captivating'"
"'Exceptional and heart-wrenching'"

Spca Turns Adoption Announcements Into Gif Memes
Community member
Memes, memes, everywhere!
And here comes more memes, this time from SPCA. The organisation championing animal welfare has created a series of GIF memes – featuring real adoptable shelter animals.
The project, 'Adopt A Meme', introduces GIF memes starring a mix of dogs, cats and a rabbit up for adoption.
As with other memes, these are shareable as responses in social media conversations. And each time you use these, you help spread the word for our furry friends.
'Adopt A Meme' was created in collaboration with creative agency DDB Singapore, to help its message of adoption break through the social media clutter – filled with millions of selfies, funny videos and other fun stuff. With these memes, SPCA hopes its adoption announcements will be shared more widely and rapidly, so the animals can be quickly re-homed.
Bonus fact: The memes were not randomly created, but instead, crafted to reflect each animal's personality. This helps people understand that shelter animals too have character, just like those from pet shops.

Chain of Custody
Value chains for wild products are often complex, involving a number of different actors and processing steps.
Full details of the chain of custody for certified ingredients and requirements for the different entities involved are included in the FairWild Trading Rules (PDF).
Under the FairWild system, a definition of three different types of operator (company) is made. Depending on the company's activities, it may be classed in multiple categories at the same time.
- FairWild Certified Collection Operations: wild collection operations certified according to the FairWild Standard. For more information, see Certification Process.
- Registered Processors and Traders: wholesalers, ingredient distributors and intermediate processors of FairWild ingredients or semi-finished products. For more information, see Buyers of Certified Ingredients.
- Registered Licensees: finished product brand holders, i.e. the companies responsible for the labelling and marketing of the final packaged product with use of the FAIRWILD® word or design mark (or other prominent reference to the FairWild Standard). For more information, see Labelling.
Collection Operations will establish a certification contract directly with the FairWild-approved control body. Traders, Processors and Licensees must register with the FairWild Foundation, for which a fee schedule is applicable. All products sold must be declared annually.

It's like asking, "What recipe should I use to make biscuits with this white powder I got at the store?" We dunno what white powder you got.
I would strand test straight Twilight and a mix of 2:1 henna:indigo (so 100g henna would get 50g indigo), just enough to add more brown tones to the results. Amla would remove those reddish tones that I see in the color you're after, I think, but you can also do the same 2:1 mix with amla mixed into the henna portion. I would shoot for maybe 4 hours on all of them.
Label each strand test so you can keep them straight. Give them a week to oxidize before you judge.
My natural color is somewhat similar to yours (mine is a lot more ashy) and I get results fairly close to what you want, though its a lot more of an auburn with mahogany tones indoors and a lot of copper outside under the sun than the brownish red that you're after. BUT! Just so you can see...

The second picture of my outside results was taken at the same time as the first, just at a different angle and the sun hit it differently.
That's with one of the weaker hennas mehandi.com sells, and I don't leave it on more than 2 hours, which I think accounts for the more copper tones I get... but with a stronger henna for longer time, you might get more of what you're after and you might like the results from just henna! You never know.
