 Why why why oh why ?

Embed in the table next to my sofa a few touch zone (using capacitive sensing) to control basic functions of the TV and no more search for that very big remote. You basically need volume %20/-, channel %20/- and power. So in order to full fill that project, we need the following basics :

Capacitive sensing and how to do it  (if possible without direct touch ?)

Read IR codes  to be able to reproduce them and send them to the TV

Wood work to embed the touch zone in the table (cheap stuff since high probability of failure)

 Reviewed objectives

Well, the wood work stuff was not possible due to bad sensitivity of my sensors. Direct touch work fine, through-wood wouldnt.

For the casing, a old SNES cartridge : 100 JPY, sufficient size, very easy to workout maleable plastic.

Bad surprise, distance of the IR is not sufficient for reaching tv from the furniture. Not much, like missing 40cm maybe but still out of reach :( Otherwise working just fine. Maybe I'll hook it somewhere else and put long wires to the IR emitter.

In fact after some checkings, it's weirder then first thought: it works perfectly fine from the distance I initially planned. Problem is that it can't startup the TV the first time or after a long inactivity time. If you start the TV with the usual remote, it works fine then and after and you can full control the TV, even start/stop it at will. But "cold start" seems not to work... weird, and no idea why... Oo;

The naked truth. It has also 2 led for the debug purpose (I bought a 100 pack for 5 euro so lets us it)

Kirk Ambrose
(b Moscow, May 7, 1903; d Paris, Jan 25, 1988).
Lithuanian art historian, scholar of folklore and Egyptology, and diplomat of Russian birth. Son of the celebrated Lithuanian Symbolist poet of the same name, Jurgis Baltrušaitis II studied under Henri(-Joseph) Focillon at the Sorbonne and earned the PhD in 1931. The concerns of his mentor are evident in La stylistique ornementale dans la sculpture romane (1931), which reprises and extends arguments for the 'law of the frame' in Romanesque sculpture. Accordingly, the shapes of architectural members, such as capitals and tympana, determined the articulation of sculptural forms. This theory could account for the genesis of a wide array of monumental carvings, from foliate capitals to narrative reliefs, but ultimately it had a rather limited impact on the field of Romanesque sculptural studies. In a scathing critique, Schapiro argued that Baltrušaitis's book—and by implication Focillon's methods—robbed Romanesque sculptors of agency and neglected the religious and expressive meanings of this art form....

After attending Bishop Shanahan Secondary School, Orlu (1950–53), he received a degree in Fine Arts from the Nigerian College of Arts, Science and Technology, Zaria (1957–61). In 1958 he founded the Asele Institute in Kafanchan for research in Nigerian art and culture. In the 1960s he was a member of the Ibadan Mbari Club, and a few years later formed the Enugu branch of Mbari that became a centre for artists of the Eastern region. His interest in Nigerian visual culture, especially that of his own Ibgo people, was most evident in his attention to and use of uli patterns (see Africa §V 3.) in his works, such as Oja Suite (1962; Nimo, Asele Inst.). He employed these organic, gestural lines to depict Igbo folktales as well as to produce the later Munich Suite (1963) during his travels in Germany.

Crowley had previously been tapped for a role on President Trump's National Security Council, but left after media outlets found multiple examples of plagiarism from her past.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is reportedly hiring former Fox News host Monica Crowley to serve as his top spokeswoman, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
Crowley had previously been tapped for a role on the White House's National Security Council in 2017, but dropped out after media outlets found multiple instances of plagiarism by her.
Months later, Crowley appeared on Fox News and claimed the reports of plagiarism had been "debunked," which they were not.
After Crowley backed out of the NSC role in early 2017, she went on to register as a foreign agent, working for Victor Pinchuk, a Ukrainian businessman. Pinchuk has taken a pro-Russia tone in resolving conflicts in Ukraine. Crowley's work for Pinchuk included "outreach services" and "inviting government officials and other policy makers to attend conferences and meetings," according to documents filed with the Justice Department.
Mnuchin's high-profile hire comes at the same time the Treasury is pushing back on requests from Democrats on the House Ways & Means Committee for President Donald Trump's tax returns.

Johannes Mensing (Mensingk) (1477–1547) was a German Dominican theologian and controversialist, an opponent of Martin Luther. He was considered formidable for his theological knowledge and command of the German language.

Life
Mensing was born at Zutphen or Zwolle, Netherlands.  In 1495 he entered the Dominican Order and made part of his theological studies in the studium of his province. Matriculating at the University of Wittenberg in 1515, he received there in 1517 the licentiate in theology, and the following year received in Frankfort-on-the-Oder the doctorate in theology from the hands of the general of his order. According to Quétif, he taught theology in 1514 in the monastery at Ulm;, but it is however improbable that Mensing, belonging to the province of Saxony, should act as professor in another province which had no studium generale of its own.

To prevent Lutheran doctrinal innovations from gaining a foothold in his province, Mensing entered into all the controversies. From 1522 to 1524 he occupied the pulpit in the cathedral of Magdeburg, where he also composed his first apologetic works on the Sacrifice of the Mass. He was forced to leave, and took up the invitation of the Princess Margaretha von Anhalt, who ruled during the minority of her sons; he went to Dessau to support her in her efforts against Protestants in her territory.

In 1529 he was professor in the University of Frankfort-on-the-Oder and preacher in the cathedral. The following year he attended, as theologian to the Elector Joachim von Anhalt, the Diet of Augsburg, and secured from Emperor Charles V a renewal of the letter of protection for the Dominican Order in Germany which Emperor Charles IV had granted them in 1355 and 1359.

In 1534 he was elected provincial of his own province, but before the termination of his office Pope Paul III made him suffragan Bishop of Halberstadt. In 1540 and 1541 he attended the theological conferences of Worms and Ratisbon, where with Johann Eck, the vice-chancellor of the University of Ingolstadt, and Pelargus, he took a leading part in the deliberations.

Works

A complete list of his works, all of which bear a polemical tinge, is given by Streber in the Kirchenlexikon.

Abstract: In models with substructure in the fermionic sector, excited fermion states are expected. Excited leptons could be produced in the interaction of high energy quasi-horizontal cosmic neutrinos with the atmosphere via neutral and charged current processes, $\nu N \to \nu^* X$ and $\nu N \to \ell^* X$. The hadronic component X, and possibly part of the excited lepton decay products, would originate an extensive air shower, observable in large cosmic ray experiments. In this paper, the sensitivity of present and planned very high energy cosmic ray experiments to excited lepton production is estimated and discussed.

Hankey housing project back on track
MORE than 700 households at Hankey are in high spirits following confirmation that the building of RDP houses in the area is back on track.
Kouga Speaker Hattingh Bornman said work on the long-awaited Hankey housing project, which will cater for 738 households, is set to start this year.
The site where the houses will be built, includes the land where the informal settlement Stofwolk is situated and a strip running from Rosedale around the cemetery towards Centerton.
"The layout plan was recently approved by Council and a land surveyor has been appointed to peg the site," he said.
"A total of 200 RDP houses will be built where Stofwolk currently stands. The remaining 538 houses will be built along the strip."
He said a transfer site, with services, will be developed on the open land towards Rosedale, so as to accommodate Stofwolk residents while the site is being pegged and internal services are being installed.
"We expect the installation of internal services to start this year, as the East Cape Department of Human Settlements has budgeted for the project in the 2019/2020 financial year," he said.
"We will be meeting with the Department biweekly, including a joint site visit next week, so that any potential hold-ups are identified and dealt with swiftly.
"Hankey residents have been waiting for this project to get off the ground for many years and we do not want there to be any further delays."
He said the provisional beneficiary list could be viewed at the Ward Councillor's Office and the Vusumzi Landu Hall.
"We would like to caution residents that this is not the final list. The names on the list are those whose names appear on the National Housing Needs Register.
"These names will now be prescreened by the provincial Human Settlements Department. Once this process has been completed, the list of those applicants who qualify, will be submitted to the Kouga Council for approval.
"Once that list has been approved, each prospective beneficiary will have to complete a subsidy application form for final vetting and approval by the provincial Department," he explained.
He invited Hankey residents whose names do not appear on the provisional list but who did submit their names, to visit the municipality's Human Settlements section so that this could be corrected.
"We are very pleased that we have been able to get the project back on track and want to see everything happening in a fair and transparent manner. We look forward to working closing with the Hankey community to ensure the success of the project."

Main -> And dating -> 27 things you never knew about Buffy
27 things you never knew about Buffy
Posted on 16.11.2018 16.11.2018 Author Fenrilar Posted in And dating2 Replies
Seth Green and Nick Brendon Gropeage
Buffy is amazing. This is one of the few undisputed facts of pop culture. No matter how famous Joss Whedon has now become as Marvel Studios' unofficial overlord, his true calling card will probably always be the story of a tiny blonde girl who saved the world a lot. In the eleven years eleven!! But you know what they say: on a hellmouth, you never stop learning.
Seth green and alyson hannigan dating
He did so by writing an elaborate metaphorical story set in a medieval kingdom, in which he cast himself as a humble knight, Whedon as the corrupt king, and Gellar as a spoiled princess.
You can read the entire baffling thing, along with Whedon's response, here. Joss Whedon has described Oz Seth Green as "the only character that was really ever based on somebody I knew", the person in question being a very cool college acquaintance who played guitar.
Before Willow began dating Tara in season four, Whedon had toyed with the idea of making Xander gay instead.
During the scene in season two finale 'Becoming' when Giles is tortured by Drusilla, Anthony Stewart Head put chilli peppers in his mouth in order to look convincingly agitated and physically wrecked.
Pity poor Juliet Landau, who had to kiss that mouth. Actress Bianca Lawson, who played stony-faced vampire slayer Kendra in three season two episodes, was originally cast as Cordelia but turned the role down.
Xander is the first of the Scoobies to drink alcohol, in the episode 'Teacher's Pet' where he ends up getting almost date raped by a praying mantis teacher. Next it's Buffy and Cordelia in 'Reptile Boy', and they end up getting almost date raped by a creepy frat boy who's actually a reptile demon.
Drinking is bad, m'kay? Season one sub-villain The Anointed One was always kind of lame, but he had to be killed off even earlier than planned in season two because the young actor Andrew J Ferchland had noticeably matured, and was supposed to be playing an immortal vampire. Buffy gets turned into a rat for a large portion of the Xander-centric season two episode 'Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered', because Sarah Michelle Gellar needed time off during production in order to film her first appearance on Saturday Night Live.
That "Grrr. Mutant Enemy was the name he gave to his first typewriter, at the age of Nathan Fillion originally auditioned to play Angel way back in the late nineties, and while he lost out to David Boreanaz, he's gone on to become one of Joss Whedon's most regular collaborators FireflyDr HorribleMuch Adonot to mention the eventual role of creepy priest Caleb in Buffy. Season three's 'Helpless', which sees Buffy lose her Slayer abilities as part of a sadistic Watchers Council test, was originally titled '18' in reference to her birthday.
Dawn was originally intended to have several superpowers of her own, including the power to communicate with the dead and move objects with her mind. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alyson Hannigan are the only two actors who appeared in all episodes of the show � Nicholas Brendon doesn't appear in season seven's 'Conversations With Dead People'. The continuity of Buffy's birthday was jumbled throughout the show.
A season one shot of her school records showed her birthday as October 24,while another showed May 6, Buffy's birthday episodes were always aired in January from this point on, and it was decided by Joss Whedon that her birthday is January 19,which is the year that appears on her tombstone in 'The Gift'.
During seasons four and five of Buffythere were several crossover episodes with new spinoff Angelbut these became prohibited once Buffy moved from the WB to rival network UPN. Even without direct crossovers, though, the shows' storylines still overlapped � Willow appears in Angel's fourth season and brings Faith back with her to Buffy; Angel shows up for Buffy's series finale, and so on. The original plan was not to have either of Buffy's parents appear at all in the show, but the writers realised it would be tough to make this realistic.
While her mother Joyce became a key character, her absent dad Hank Summers appears in just three episodes. When James Marsters initially auditioned for Spike, he played the part with a Texan accent, but the producers felt that cockney was more fitting for his backstory. Books and theses have been written, college courses taught, the series has extended in graphic-novel form and, throughout, the original series has been dissected for the itsy-bitsiest minutiae.
Willow Rosenberg & Daniel "Oz" Osbourne (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
In a cemetery setting, naturally. But back to these actors, who had to act as though the world was ending the threat was usually nigh on a daily basis, but then were going about their business as non-slayer, non-witch, non-vampire, non-werewolf, non-demon humans as soon as the cameras stopped rolling.

Alyson Lee Hannigan (born March 24, ) is an American actress. fiction comedy released in ; one of her co-stars in the film was actor Seth Green, who would later join her in the regular cast of Buffy as her on-screen boyfriend. For those who didn't watch Buffy, HIMYM star Alyson Hannigan's Willow and Seth Green's Oz dated for a couple of seasons before Oz's wolfish. Joss Whedon has described Oz (Seth Green) as "the only character that Before Willow began dating Tara in season four, Whedon had toyed with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alyson Hannigan are the only two actors who.

Luckily, he hasn't had to deal with anything except me kissing women.
It's weird to see your beloved kissing anyone else, but I would imagine it's easier for him to see me kissing a female, than another guy. But we'll see how he deals. He's an actor.
He understands. InHannigan did refer to Tom Lenkwho played the allegiance-shifting, nerd-with-villainous-tendencies Andrew Wells, as one of her best friends. But they were all friends Evil Returns!
As in, she was over it by season three, Hannigan guessed. It feels right, and you have to listen to that. Added Whedon, "There've been times that we didn't get along. There have been times when we've palled around. But no matter what, she was the other half of Buffy.
In seven years, she never let me down. There was a perceived notion, on both sides, I can say, between Sarah and Joss of ingratitude for both parties.
Joss doesn't feel like Sarah's ever shown the proper amount of gratitude for what he's done for her and her career, and I think she feels the same way. Hannigan told Andy Cohen in that she wasn't at the time in contact with Gellar, but she'd be happy to see anyone from the show. Two years later, momentously for fans and perhaps the former onscreen BFFs as well, Gellar and Hannigan did reunite for a day of family fun with their husbands and kids. I appreciate everything about that job.
As an actor, all you ever want to do is leave your mark�you want to do something that affects people. On Instagram, meanwhile, she paid tribute to the whole experiencewriting in part, "Alyson, as any woman knows, you are nothing without the love and support of great female friends, so thank you for being that.
Michelle, you will always hold a key to my heart. Well, he's older. So he was, like, 9. I said it�you're older. She seemed otherworldly to me. But like so many of those on-the-set feud stories, and regardless of what they might have felt from day to day as year-olds, nothing was going on that would one day taint the memory of the show's cosmic chemistry like the recent no-friend-of-mine declaration from Kim Cattrall about Sarah Jessica Parkerfor instance.

She's primarily based in New York now, but I spent a lot of time with her. She's married, she has kids now, there's a lot of growing going on for both of us.
We left a lot of stuff behind us�the shows, the hours, the characters. She really taught me a lot. I can't say enough about what I learned from her about getting your marks, hitting your lights, the demands of the role that she was under, the crazy hours.

But we never really had the chance to sit down next to each other and to get to know each other," Carpenter said. We never had a chance to do that. Our schedules were just very different.
We discussed music, kids and we talked about the shows that we worked on and grew up on, and how funny it is that we're just now getting to know each other 10 years after the shows are over.

In a step that has implications for stem cell research, human biology and the treatment of disease, researchers in Japan and at Harvard University have managed to turn adult cells back into flexible stem cells without changing their DNA.
For decades, doctors have been treating leukemia patients by transplanting stem cells from people with healthy bone marrow. But even though transplants can be a fairly effective treatment, there aren't enough tissue donors to treat every leukemia patient. Now, researchers are taking the first steps toward making bone marrow in a lab: They are growing stem cells in a setting that mimics the natural environment of bone marrow.
New drugs being developed for the treatment of prostate cancer may not be targeting the root cause of the disease, according to research published Jan. 24 in Cell Death & Differentiation. Scientists at the University of York have discovered that a process called "methylation," previously thought to drive the development of cancer, occurs in cells that are already cancerous. The findings mean therapies aimed at reversing this process might not be effective against cancer stem cells, allowing the cancer to return.
In recent years, mutations in two metabolic enzymes, isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2), have been identified in approximately 20 percent of all acute myeloid leukemias. As a result, mutant IDH proteins have been proposed as attractive drug targets for this common form of adult leukemia. Now a scientific team at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center has generated a transgenic mouse model of the most common IDH2 mutation in human AML, and, in the process, answered a central question of whether these mutant IDH proteins are required for leukemia initiation and maintenance in a living organism.
Scientists have mapped the genetic changes that drive tumors in rhabdomyosarcoma, a pediatric soft-tissue cancer, and found that the disease is characterized by two distinct genotypes. The genetic alterations identified in this malignancy could be useful in developing targeted diagnostic tools and treatments for children with the disease. The study, by researchers at the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, and their colleagues, appeared in the Jan. 23 issue of the journal Cancer Discovery.
People infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus can stave off the symptoms of AIDS thanks to drug cocktails that mainly target three enzymes produced by the virus, but resistant strains pop up periodically that threaten to thwart these drug combos. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and the National Institutes of Health have instead focused on a fourth protein, Nef, that hijacks host proteins and is essential to HIV's lethality.

That is the finding of an analysis published early online in Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. The study establishes so-called intensity-modulated radiation therapy as both a safe and beneficial treatment for patients with head and neck cancer.
A University of Vermont researcher has helped to develop a more accurate way of studying genetic changes to identify people at high risk for colon and other cancers. The findings are published in Nature Genetics. Marc Greenblatt, M.D., an associate professor of medicine and oncologist at the University of Vermont and Fletcher Allen Health Care and a faculty member at the Vermont Cancer Center's Familial Cancer Program, co-led a collaborative global effort to interpret genetic data related to hereditary colon cancer. The team's findings will both allow doctors to access publicly available data to more effectively interpret risks and give patients a more accurate picture of familial risk for colon and other cancers.
Researchers in Australia have found that breast stem cells and their "daughters" have a longer life than previously believed. This newly discovered longer lifespan suggests that these cells could carry damage or genetic defects earlier in life that eventually lead to cancer decades later. The researchers, from Melbourne's Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, have published their results in the journal Nature, and they say their discovery could help with the development of treatments and diagnostics for breast cancer.
Many of the most exciting frontiers in biomedical research sound like the stuff of science fiction, but here's some work that even looks like it's straight from the set of Star Trek! This scanning electron micrograph captures the pivotal moment when nanospheres — a futuristic approach to drug delivery — are swallowed up by a human fibroblast cell.

With the National Finals Rodeo in town during the same days as the 2008 ICAS Convention and an increased likelihood that sleeping rooms will be scarce this year, an unscrupulous travel agency is directly soliciting some ICAS members, advising them that the ICAS block is nearly sold out and that they need to make their reservations over the phone.

1) Fax a Cease and Desist letter from your lawyers. According to my conversations with other event organizers, usually that does the trick.
3) IF your event is in Las Vegas, I can not more highly stress that you contact the executive offices of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. The reason why it is best you contact them is that this is an extremely powerful organization, with many local, state and federal government ties. The last thing they want is some form of scam operation regarding business conventions taking place within their city. As Convention Travel Expo is in Henderson, NV (a suburb of Las Vegas), your complaint to the executive offices of the LVCVA will certainly be heard. Enough calls to the LVCVA will certainly initiate inquiries on the matter with the proper authorities. Telephone of the LVCVA is 702-892-0711 and their list of senior executives can be found here.
I also was scammed by this company and cannot believe they are still allowed to operate their business. Beware, they use quick talking agents that state they are "handling" a certain upcoming conference or event. They did this for the Bio Investor Conference08 that was held in Oct in SFO. They tape their calls and are well versed in what they can and cannot say. The reason they get away with this is because they immediately send you a credit card authorization form, again with the presumption THEY are officially handling the event. I fought this through AM EX and lost because I signed the authorization that in fine print states they are entitled to 20% cancelation fee. They purchase these rooms illegally through a company called Hotel Beds. I reported them to the owner of that company. He was unaware of their scam until I explained what they were doing. He now no longer sells to them. I plan to continue the fight until they are no longer able to operate their business. Do not feel stupid, fight back!! They way to STOP these companies is to write The Better Business Bureau of Nevada.
It only takes minutes to fill out the complaint form!
PUT THESE SOB'S OUT OF OPERATION!!!
DEFINITION of the word "SCAM"
2. to cheat or defraud with a scam.
It has come to our attention that Convention Expo Travel is calling BCMC exhibitors informing them that they need to make their hotel reservations now as there is a limited supply available. This is inaccurate information.
We would like to warn our attendees and exhibitors to NOT BOOK A HOTEL with a company called Convention Expo Travel. The company is in NO WAY AFFILIATED with the VHA Leadership Conference. Please do not give them your credit card information under any circumstances. Unfortunately, this kind of scam is not uncommon in the conference business.
If you are booking a hotel room, we highly recommend that you book directly with the Grand Hyatt in San Antonio at (800) 648-4462. The Marriott Rivercenter is sold out on several of the conference nights.
If you're planning on attending the Alberta Gift Show this February, be aware of a travel company falsely claiming to be associated with the event. A number of the show's exhibitors have been approached by a company named Convention Expo Travel.com to book travel and hotels for the Alberta Gift Show. The company claims they represent hotel bookings for the Alberta Gift Show and that the conference has run out of rooms. In fact, rooms are still available for the event and the company is in no way affiliated with the Alberta Gift Show.
Investigations revealed that the Better Business Bureau of Nevada, where the company is headquartered, has two registered complaints against Convention Expo Travel. Furthermore, other conferences are warning their attendees about this company's unscrupulous practices.
It has come to our attention that Convention Expo Travel is contacting exhibitors and soliciting hotel reservations for the November 2008 Pri-Med East Conference and Exhibition. Please be aware that this company is making calls under false pretenses claiming they represent housing for Pri-Med. They will state that the conference has run out of rooms. Please be aware that this is not true and that Convention Expo Travel is not affiliated with Pri-Med in any way.
It has been brought to our attention that Convention Expo Travel has been contacting CEDIA Exhibitors regarding housing for EXPO 2008 in Denver, CO. If you receive a call from a company claiming to represent CEDIA housing and they state that you must pay a deposit be aware that this may be a scam and DO NOT MAKE THE ROOM RESERVATION. CEDIA EXPO Housing does NOT require a deposit and Convention Expo Travel is not affiliated with CEDIA EXPO in any capacity.
If you have any housing questions please contact CEDIA EXPO Housing at 877-307-0325.
It has come to our attention that Convention Expo Travel is contacting exhibitors and soliciting hotel reservations for the JCK Toronto. Please be aware that this company is making calls under false pretenses claiming they represent housing for JCK Toronto. They will state that the event has run out of rooms. Please be aware that this is not true and that Convention Expo Travel is not affiliated with JCK Toronto in any way.
My search gave alot of results. I stopped at a certain point. A search for the word "Scam" + "Convention Expo Travel" results 194 specific results in Google.
Some organization has decided to glom onto our Convention and has acquired a copy of an industry supplier list, and is now making pestering phone calls to potential exhibitors at our 2009 Convention.
The ICCFA has learned that a company by the name of "Convention Expo Travel" is soliciting ICCFA members claiming to offer reduced room rates at the &^%$#$^ Resort & Casino for the ICCFA Convention dates, April 20-23. This company is NOT affiliated with the ICCFA or &^%$#$^.
With the exception of the ICCFA post, this was the basis of our use of the word "Scam" in association with the company called Convention Expo Travel in the Social Networking Conferenc thread, including other mentions in the previous posts.
Note: The Better Business Bureau continues to give them an unstatisfactory rating. They continue to get complaints 2 years after we posted our warnings about this firm!
And they are also going under a new name as well: Global Housing Management.
"Robert Kneeland and Andrew Schreider were running the day to day operations for Convention Expo Travel. They stole large sums of money from the individual who funded the company these two created and now they resort to slander. Its a legit service that was being run by these two thieves."
Below are more examples in a quick search in the last few months of the complaints against them.
The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) has learned that a group called "Convention Expo Travel" has been contacting our membership and exhibitors to assist with hotel reservations in Boston for the upcoming ACTFL 2010 Annual Convention and World Languages Expo. ACTFL does not have a contract with this company to manage hotel reservations in Boston.
ACTFL has several hotels in Boston with sufficient room blocks to accommodate our attendees and exhibitors and at the special ACTFL Convention Rates.
Should you receive an e-mail or phone call from Convention Expo Travel, ACTFL strongly recommends you DO NOT make your Boston hotel reservation with them. If you have already made hotel reservations through Convention Expo Travel, ACTFL is unable to guarantee the reservation is valid and recommends that you cancel them immediately before you incur charges.
Should you have any questions, please contact Julia Richardson at jrichardson@actfl.org or 703-894-2900.
Please be assured that ACTFL is committed to providing you quality services to make your convention experience a positive one, and we will vigorously pursue these organizations to prevent unauthorized contact.
We are quickly approaching the height of the CGTA winter show season. Whether you're an exhibitor or planning to attend the Toronto Gift Show, please don't unwittingly fall prey to two companies named Convention Expo Travel.com and Global Housing Management. They are contacting Canadian gift show exhibitors and attendees implying that they officially represent this venue. The CGTA is in no way associated with these companies.
Convention Expo Travel.com and Global Housing Management are not travel agents for this event and the CGTA does not endorse, cooperate or collaborate in any manner whatsoever with these organizations. We strongly recommend that you exercise careful due diligence in doing business with these agencies.
To make a hotel reservation for the Toronto Gift Show through the official CGTA Hospitality Bureau, e-mail hospitality@cgta.org or call (800) 750-1750.
Warning to delegates: Please be aware.....A company called "Convention Expo Travel" from USA have recently been calling WOMEX delegates with hotel accommodation offers in Copenhagen - they are NOT however associated with WOMEX in any way even if they claim to be. Please read the small print before signing anything.....Instead, please browse through and book our affiliated hotels on our website.
Former business partners against the company, bad BBB rating, angering conference organizers, I guess you can see where this is all going.
Post subject: Re: WARNING: Convention Expo Travel - Not Recommended!
So.... we BOUGHT THE DOMAIN!!!
This means....all their old links they generated on the web from their promotions....come here.....it means that people will see the truth as to who and what their company was, and why their original name is no longer in use.
The BBB continues to give Convention Housing Services a poor rating.
We warn our delegates to avoid Convention Housing Services (ConventionHousingServices.com) and encourage other conference organizers to watch out for these guys as well!
Thanks again to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority for putting the pressure on to help keep this business clean!
Post subject: Re: WARNING: Convention Housing Services - Not Recommended!
....And getting some very powerful people very, very angry.
2013 Radio Show in Orlando (produced by the National Association of Broadcasters and Radio Association of Broadcasters) - No one I know with a brain would want to cross this group...their political ties alone could easily make life miserable for CHS.
Airport Council International - North America - I am sure that if Mr. Robert Kneeland needs to go to the airport, he will run into these people. Best of luck Robert making your flight.
Fort Lauderdale Boat Show - This one event brings in millions to the city. One call from the conference organizer to the mayor of Ft. Lauderdale should easily precipitate a call to the mayors office of Las Vegas or the Sherrif's department of Clark county.
SPIE - alot of large and powerful events.
Convention Housing Services is in Henderson, NV (just outside Las Vegas).
Notice one thing....NONE of the events above are located in LAS VEGAS.
There is a highly probable reason for that: FEAR. The Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority (LVCVA) does not want any funny business in their town, and they are a very powerful local organization with strong political ties.
- If you are an entity like the National Association of Broadcasters....you don't need me at all to tell you what you can and should do. My suggestion: Look above....preying on teacher conferences, conferences on camps for kids, midwife students, postal conferences, medical, etc..... These activities give the industry a bad name. Just do it.

The Urban Arrow is the "luxury SUV" of electric cargo bikes for families
Business / By adminspa / July 2, 2022 July 2, 2022
The Dutch manufacturer Urban Arrow has renewed its line Family Charge of electric cargo bikes for families with the new Urban Arrow Family Cargo 2022. In this case it is a front-loading vehicle with a large transport box multipurpose between the two wheels instead of a long tail at the rear. A design thought above all for the transport of children since in addition to being much safer in that position they will be continuously watched. In this case, the Amsterdam company has updated this bicycle to turn it into a the "luxury SUV" of electric cargo bikes. A quality that is reflected in its design, its technology, its components and also in its price.
There is no doubt that within the electrification of transport that society is experiencing, electric bicycles are one of the best inventions. Anyone who gets into one of them for the first time is amazed at what they are capable of with their small electric pedal assistance systems. Such is their usefulness that, one step further, electric cargo bikes aspire to replace many of the cars that currently saturate cities.
Urban Arrow has added a number of features to the 2022 update to make it easier to ride a longer-than-usual bike loaded with kids (or maybe a pet) through the streets of a city full of cars. According to the manufacturer, this electric cargo bike solves these problems beautifully, providing all the necessary cargo space and making pedaling manageable and even fun.
The Urban Arrow Family Cargo 2022 is a premium electric bike, as it offers high performance, very high quality components, comfort and, above all, great functionality.
The new Urban Arrow Family Cargo 2022 a front loading electric bike. In this case it is not a frame in which the axles of the wheels are separated and the rear part is lengthened to accommodate a box or child seats. Here the design of the frame varies much more, since the box is located between the wheels, which which stabilizes the vehicle much more by centering the weight and allows the load to always be visible. In exchange, all the geometry changes, especially with regard to the handlebar and the steering system.
Among the novelties included in the 2022 version is the implementation of the latest model of Bosch Kiox display on the handlebar and the inclusion of a Gates Carbon Drive strap throughout the range, which replaces the chain, adding extra silence to the ride and reducing transmission maintenance to almost zero.
This strap connects the Bosch Cargo Line Gen 4 electric motor (in the top of the range version) with a continuously variable gearbox Shipping Heavy Duty. It is one of the most powerful engines available in the German supplier's catalogue, not because of the power it offers, which is limited to 250W (emphasizing the limited) but by a very high output torque, 85 Nm, which suggests that the cyclist will receive a lot of help because he will need to move very heavy and delicate loads.
The battery that feeds the setalso from Bosch, has a capacity of 500Wh, which should offer sufficient autonomy for daily urban routes. In this case, in order to comply with the European EPAC vehicle regulations, there is no accelerator and therefore the only way for the engine to start is for the cyclist to pedal, which increases the range available.
Another of the improvements of the new Urban Arrow family is a redesigned head tube which improves the stability and control of the bike at high speeds and with heavy loads. A series of very high quality components are added to the set. The hydraulic disc brakes four-pistons are supplied by the specialist Magura. They include a ABS system for electric bicycles that reduces the probability that the rear wheel will rise during the braking phase, releasing the brake calipers of the front wheels when it detects that it has been blocked. Thanks to this system, the cyclist can rely more on the front brake, which is usually used to support the rear due to the risk of destabilization caused by its blocking.
These high-quality, high-capacity, family-oriented electric cargo bikes can actually replace household vehicles used to carry multiple passengers or a large amount of cargo.
All these virtues make the Urban Arrow Family Cargo 2022 a premium electric bike, since it offers high performance, very high quality components, comfort and, above all, great functionality. Characteristics that are reflected in the sale price that, according to the configurator of the manufacturer's website, starts at €5,290 for the base version with the Performance Line Essential engine (65 Nm). For 900 euros more, the Performance Line Plus engine (65 Nm) is included and for 1,400 more the Cargo Line (85 Nm). The client has at his disposal different accessories which can also be purchased through the web.
This is a high price if you consider that it is "only" an electric cargo bike. However, some considerations must be taken into account. On many occasions, and depending on the city in which you live, how prepared it is for the circulation of bicycles (especially if children are transported) and the weather, this type of bicycle can replace small SUVs that many families have in the garage to take the children to school and move around the city.
These high-quality, high-capacity, family-oriented electric cargo bikes can actually replace household vehicles used to carry multiple passengers or a large amount of cargo. In many European countries this is already a reality that is accompanied by an urban infrastructure prepared to receive them and driver education adapted to this type of vehicle.
The inhabitants of the cities are the candidates to try a new mobility by replacing their cars (or at least the second one) with one of these vehicles. And they don't have to do it for a premium model like the one from Urban Arrow, because there are more and more options on the market with bikes that don't offer the quality of this one but are just as functional and practical.

After another two days, mid June, of intense editing work with Sam in his studio in Ghent, we managed to almost get all the material for the second of four 10 minute (Topographic [Table) Topographique) pieces lined up on disk for mix-down, actually using near to 100 Pro Tools tracks. Two more pieces to go before mixing, so we will probably need at least another full week of work to get the album ready.
From Ghent I railed back to Amsterdam, to catch a night train to Berlin.
I had been rushing here and there and back again, zigzagging between France, Belgium and the Netherlands for several weeks already, and was pretty exhausted. So what a couple of months ago still seemed to be a great - because very cheap - deal (night training to-and-fro Berlin), at that moment felt like I were about to start solo climbing some Mount Everest. On the other hand, I think the (tongue-in-cheek) picture I got to shoot on the platform in Amsterdam, was worth it: the train to Moscow makes a halt in Duivendrecht.
I arrived at Berlin Hauptbahnhof at 4h28 in the morning of June 16th, and caught a bus to Neukölln a little after. I arrived in the Weserstraße to the majestic sound of a choir of Berlin birds singing their feathery hearts out, had to wake up Rinus for him to let me in, and then crashed for a couple of hours of badly needed sleep.
All of Diktat was expected in Berlin that Friday.
Rinus was there, of course, as Berlin is (or was?) his base. Also Rébus was in town already. He had arrived on Thursday, by plane from Paris-Orly. Still missing were Jean Bordé and his double bass. But they would arrive later that morning, as Jean was supposed to be on the night train from Paris, due for arrival at Hauptbahnhof at about 10h, some five and a half hours after my arrival by night train from Amsterdam.
The pictures above were shot early afternoon that Friday, in Rinus' kitchen. Rébus by then had joined us in the Weserstraße, and we went over the map of Berlin, discussing suitable spots for the unplugged outdoor interventions that we wanted to do over the weekend.
We had not yet seen Jean arrive, though. I tried a few times to catch him on his cell phone. That, however, was continuously on voicemail. I blamed it on a flat battery. Oh well... He would get there, sooner or later.
Nothing much we could do, but as time continued to pass without the least sign of our bass player, we seriously wondered whether that evening in the Lychener Straße it would be Diktat performing. Or would it be just the three of us, without a double bass?
It was a warm, bright, sunshiny day in Berlin. In the afternoon we walked around here and there, and then took the subway up from Neukölln to Prenzlauer Berg, for that evening's concert.
You probably can imagine our relief when, arriving at Ausland, we found Jean's double bass, safely stalled in a corner. So Jean had arrived in Berlin. But what had happened? Why hadn't we heard from him? Why had he not come to join us in Neukölln?
We bumped into the man himself some thirty minutes later, on the Danziger Straße.
He told us what had happened. All had been my fault. A little bit.
Jean had arrived, according to plan, but thinking I would be at Hauptbahnhof, waiting for him. I had sent him an email the other day, saying that I did not fancy waiting five or more hours at the station. I wrote I'd take a bus over to Rinus' place, and then phone him when he arrived around 10h. And that's what I did. But then Jean had not read my mail. Moreover, the roaming option of his cell phone was not enabled. So he could not call, neither be called. Last but not least, Jean had not brough any info whatever on where to go and how to get there.
Well, well, all's well that ends well. And the four of us ended up together over at Ausland, setting up for Diktat's first Berlin performance.
Here, for you pleasure and awe, the first of a 'Diktat IN-side Berlin' recording triptych. This 'live in Berlin' track was extracted from Rébus' recording of our performance at Ausland. By putting his digirec near to Jean, he actually blew up the bass part to almost cartoonesque proportions, which, given that particular day's worries about Jean's whereabouts, is sort of appropriate ... Monumental. Wagnerian. Berlin. Play it loud!
Below there are three of us shortly after the concert, on the subway back to Neukölln. From the right to the left, there's Jean, Rinus, me. Rébus was with us as well, even though you cannot see hem. He took the picture.

Adam Croman is currently in the eleventh grade at a private school in Manhattan. Adam excels in all of his classes at school and is particularly fond of English and history, which are his favorite subjects.
Growing up in a family of pet lovers, Adam has always had a special way with animals. Several years ago, Adam's desire to pay homage to his pet dog–his family's beloved Jack Russell Terrier named Eddie–prompted him to create the Eddie Croman Fund as a way to honor the memory of his childhood pet. Although Adam had initially started the Eddie Croman Fund to be a charitable project in conjunction with his Bar Mitzvah, the Eddie Croman Fund has outlasted and transcends its "Bar Mitzvah project" status.
In a show of gratitude for Adam Croman's efforts on behalf of the Eddie Croman Fund, BluePearl Veterinary Partners in midtown Manhattan dedicated an exam room in memory of the Croman's beloved Jack Russell. The Eddie Croman Consultation Room features a 42-inch touch screen monitor, which allows veterinarians to display X-rays and other images to clients, explaining their pets' diagnoses. A photo of Eddie also is prominently displayed, too.
Adam Croman enjoys playing soccer and tennis and in his free time he volunteers at a local animal shelter. This coming summer, Adam will continue to walk and socialize stray rescue dogs up for adoption at the shelter and will also start volunteer work at the Center for Hearing and Communication.

When we speak about why modern technology enables a transformed inquiry -based learning is far more desirable and effective model for our schools than the transmission of content, we still need to clear about the role and place of content.
Larry Sanger has recently written a piece on why content is still important and why inquiry-based learning is folly. I'm not sure if Larry is deliberately try to mislead the discussion but it serves as a reminder for those of us who are championing a pedagogy and curriculum that uses modern technology to enable inquiry-based learning, that we need to clearly articulate the role of content in the learning process.
1. Students learn content and facts as they undertake inquiry-based learning but the content is needed. This has the major benefit over the transmission of facts as it provides a context and a opportunity to validate the learning. The context also gives indication of what is needed to be learnt. The design of inquiry-based projects are therefore crucial. This is not to suggest that content is the only goal, learning how to learn effectively and autonomously is also the goal.
2. Instruction from experts still has a role (although to much lesser extent) with inquiry-based learning, there are still non-negotiable instruction that needs to occur as determined by the teacher.
Do education systems really resist innovation?
Or could it be that the "innovations" given as examples are not really innovations at all, just people trying to sell stuff?
The challenge for all stakeholders is to demonstrate and clearly articulate, how the innovative use of modern technology can change the nature of how students to learn together.

I've been looking into group project management/communication applications, so far Asana and Do seem really interesting.
Why are they so interesting, well as Justin Rosenstein (of Asana) says near the start of the video below, its not just about being faster and more productive but that technology "changes the nature of the kind of projects we can take on together". I agree, and I believe that there is great scope for students using collaborate and social project management applications in their inquiry-based learning.
Gary Stager pointed to Joe Bower's post on why he doesn't like the edublog awards, I don't like them either but to me it is a non-issue as I don't think any sensible person takes any award seriously. Awards generally measure vanity metrics, and by doing so trivialise the object of the award, in this case blogging and the power of modern technology.
When reading the comments one of Gary's statements caught my eye.
Gary writes "Social media IS junior high school. It's all about counting followers, "friends," retweets and the number of comments" I think social media is far more than, sure some people might act like that but unlike high school we don't have to interact with them.
Social media/networking allows learners to achieve beyond what they could without modern technology. Social media takes knowledge construction from being individual and personal to being collaborative and collective. Social media enables self-directed learners to better informed and therefore make better choices. Social media radically changes the nature of projects and inquiry-based learning.
Yes, people can get caught up in follower counts, but to reduce social networking to that is to miss the power and the point.
Note: I'm participating in a discussion about BYOD in a few hours, these notes are an attempt to somewhat prepare!
I believe that modern technology is disrupting and transforming both the way people learn and what they learn. And I believe that schools and school communities need to face up to fact that we need to radically change our pedagogy to leverage these wonderful opportunities, because if we don't then education of our students will be compromised.
1. BYOD focuses on the wrong thing from which we will most likely end up with policies and technologies that are unambitious and inequitable. I won't go over the ground that Stager has about dumbing down to the lowest device and inequality between the rich and poor but let me say schools and teachers need to be the drivers and informers for what and how technology is used in their classrooms. By asking our students (and their families) to drive technology use in our schools we are running up the white flag and admitting we don't have a clue about how modern technology should be best used in formal education. Rather we need an ambitious vision for learning with modern technology, an ambitious vision that is determined and articulated by informed, qualified educators.
2. For all of the problems its proponents claim it solves, there are better solutions than BYOD. Despite the fact BYOD may appear to "fix" some bad schools policies, for example over restrictive technology policies, in reality it doesn't fix these problems but rather provides a work around. In most cases the policies will remain with the erroneous core beliefs still in place, and other bad policies still in effect. Instead, we should tackle these problems head on, so that the effectiveness of use of technology in schools is maximised. Anything less is a compromise for our students' learning.
3. BYOD allows school leaders who don't want to face up to the realities of learning with modern technologies, a way out. BYOD allows schools to say they have a role for modern technology without really having one, it is a Claytons solution. By allowing a 1 to 1 program to be set up with little "buy in" from the school community as whole, maybe skilled and technology passionate educators can operate successfully, but there is no way we will see systematic change unless the ambitious vision is owned by the whole school community. As more and more schools are thankfully undertaking a move towards a technology rich learning environment I think we need to be clear and strict describing what the pedagogical vision is for our schools and whether BYOD (or for that matter iPad/tablet programs) are an end-point or rather a transition because proper 1 to 1 is currently too hard for us.
4. We need an ambitious pedagogical vision, one in which modern technology offers disruptive and transformative possibilites for learning that is inquiry-based, self-directed and socially constructed.
I imagine that many might argue that I'm being too ambitious and unrealistic given how schools must operate within current curriculum and assessment demands. I'd be more convinced by this argument if those advocating and evangelising for "devices" and BYOD hadn't experienced new ways of learning with modern technology. However, the most of the people visibly promoting BYOD (and its unambitious vision) use modern technology in radically different ways in their own personal learning. While these evangelists continue to advocate for learning in schools which is different from their own personal learning (with modern technology), their students will continue to experience a compromised education.


Great article it was very interesting and informative, it got a lot of great facts in it.
There are many articles which I read daily but this is the best among all it has something very interesting which got my attention. Keep it up with such informative articles!
The vineyard is so popular for making vine for the countries. It has its own quality.
This is so amazing to see really getting the vineyard built to such a big field they started at a small backyard.
great posts in your blog. Keep up with the good work.
Beam Skin Cream Canada in like manner fills in as a cream and the base of beautifiers. So you don't have to worry over beautifying agents devastating your skin.
The first step to consider when looking for the perfect anti aging face creams is to determine what type of wrinkles you have. From my experience, I can surely tell you that organic products are way better than products that contain artificial chemicals. We want to reverse aging because the youthful mirth and passion is what everyone craves for. That's why going all-natural with a facial makes so much sense.

Woman starved for 12 years by husband who wanted size zero wife
A woman who was 'starved' by her domineering husband over the course of 12 years claimed he wanted her to be able to fit into clothes designed for a seven-year-old child.
Catherine Hartley, 31, from Perceton, Irvine, was a size 12 when she married Matthew Hartley, however, her new husband wanted a wife who wore size zero clothes.
The pair met when she was 15 and he was 25. She said he pursued her by buying her cigarettes and alcohol.
Catherine Hartley, pictured, was married to Hartley for 12 years before they separated and got divorced. Ms Hartley reported her husband's abusive behaviour to police, however, despite admitting three counts of assault avoided jail
They married in October 2006, although this began a 12-year nightmare for Catherine as her husband began to control every aspect of her life, including what she was allowed to eat.
Hartley claimed he did not want a 'fat wife' and stopped her from eating healthily, to the extent that at one stage she weighed as little as five stone.
She told the Daily Record: 'He said I was fat so he put me on a diet. He wanted a size 0 wife.
'If I ate before I went to bed, he forced me to sleep on the sofa as he didn't like the smell of food on me.
'I ended up so thin that when I lay down on the mattress my bones hurt. In the end, I was wearing a girl's age-seven clothes.'
Catherine said her husband was abusive during their 12-year marriage, grabbing her by the neck and lifting her from her feet.
On another occasion, he threw her across the room.
During one incident, he pulled off Catherine's dressing gown after catching her smoking and pushed her onto a balcony in full view of workers in an office block across the road.
Later he installed CCTV in every room of the house so he could keep Catherine under constant surveillance.
When she was pregnant with her child, Hartley told her she was fat when she asked for a back massage.
Eventually, the couple separated in August 2017 before divorcing in April 2019.
After the separation, Catherine reported her husband to police for his behaviour.
The 42-year-old pleaded guilty to three counts of assault at Kilmarnock Sheriff's Court in April in relation to his wife. He also pleaded guilty to a sexual assault concerning another woman.
However, he did not receive a custodial sentence and was given a community payback order with 12 months' supervision as well as being told to sign on the sex offenders' register for a year.
Catherine said this was too lenient for the years of torment she was subjected to by her husband.
She believed Hartley should have received a prison term for his actions, describing her married life as being in the film 'Sleeping With The Enemy'.
She said Hartley destroyed her confidence and self-worth by his constant abuse and criticism, insisting that her ex-husband remained a danger to women.

Marco Asensio wanted by Premier League club
By John Menzies - 4 December 2022, 17:37
Real Madrid's Marco Asensio could be set to leave the club in January.
The 26-year-old's contract expires at the end of the season, but he is yet to agree terms with Real Madrid on a new deal. According to MD, Asensio will decide on his future once the World Cup is over.
The midfielder is currently not a regular starter for Real Madrid. He has made 15 appearances for Carlo Ancelotti's side this season, albeit with the majority of those from the substitute's bench.
As a result, he could decide to leave the club as early as January in search of more regular playing time.
A report from HITC have stated that Mikel Arteta is very keen to bring his countryman to Arsenal. The Premier League leaders want to add quality to their squad as they search for their first league title since 2004.
Real Madrid want to keep Asensio at the Santiago Bernabeu, but with no guarantee that they can offer him the playing time that he wants, he could be set to move from the club he has been at since 2014.
