The integration of information technology equipment into the classroom is a focus at Champion Bay Senior High School. The school has had a notebook and then tablet program since 2003, when a range of initiatives were announced to improve the quality of educational facilities at then John Willcock College.
The project aims to implement the latest in educational strategies, using a range of technologies. Currently, each student in the school is provided with an iPad, which is used in class to access curriculum and research materials.
The iPads link to a wireless network providing access to the internet and curriculum materials, as well as enabling communication between students, backup of data files and printing. The school hosts servers to meet internal storage and educational needs in conjunction with the Education Department's centrally-based system.
We contract a technician to develop and manage the computer system at Champion Bay Senior High School to optimise the opportunities provided by the Education Department network. This provides valuable on site management with excellent flexibility to support our staff and students as we grow our Digital Citizenship awareness in our educational context.
Students receive on-going training in the operation of the devices to gradually increase their skills in the use of technology and to achieve positive learning outcomes. They also receive sessions on Cyber safety, Digital Citizenship, and appropriate uses of the range of technologies in everyday use.
The iPads are obviously very valuable and, as such, certain procedures must be followed to ensure the devices remain in good condition and operate effectively. All students are made aware of these through the iPad training sessions and reminders each week. Details of these policies can be found in the Enrolment Package and the Network Agreement form. The information contained in these documents includes the wide-ranging uses of technology at Champion Bay Senior High School, not just the iPads.
Provided these rules and procedures are followed, then the Department's insurance will usually honour claims for accidental damage or loss.
The project provides a wealth of rich educational resources and tools that, when used effectively, can deliver very positive teaching and learning opportunities and resulting outcomes. If the processes covered at training are not followed, there are a variety of pitfalls that students may encounter.
The Department of Education (The Department) endeavours to support students in the appropriate and safe use of technology. By alerting parents and students to potential dangers, developing guidelines and providing advice and support, the exposure of students to potential problems can be minimised.
Please contact Mr Phil Pound, Associate Principal, if you have any questions regarding the school's ITC system.

Do you guys have any specific build order, and if so, are you willing to share it. Also, does micro play any role in your wi game. I personally don't really micro, and have really no specific B.O., so I was wondering if you guys could help me out here.
Micromanagement. Effectively controlling each individual unit, basically.
You're a forum admin trine. Shouldn't you delete the spam post (or hide it from the public) instead of just saying "Flagged for spam" and letting it there?
I'm usually on a mobile device, and the ACP isn't well suited with mobile browsers. If I see a spam post on the forum while mobile, I leave a "Flagged for spam" message so I can 1. search up the post when I'm on a PC to deal with it and 2. it's a unique phrase that people wouldn't likely use on this forum.

Turmoil in the capital markets has brought about significant changes in the way lenders and borrowers view and manage risk in financing multifamily properties. Fortunately, the Federal Housing Administration, which runs a mortgage insurance program for multifamily loans, has not sat idly by. The agency has made a number of changes to its underwriting policies in recent months to reduce the risk of insurance loss and ensure that the mortgage insurance program continues to help multifamily borrowers meet increasing market demand. In addition, borrowers need to view risk through more lenses than in years past in making decisions concerning their secured borrowings.
FHA-insured loans are available for the funding of new construction of apartment projects, and the rehabilitation and refinancing of existing properties. Through its mortgage insurance program, the government enables borrowers to enjoy a number of benefits that they wouldn't otherwise. Because the government enjoys the highest credit rating, its guarantees enable lenders to access capital on behalf of borrowers at the lowest risk-adjusted rates. The lower cost of capital enables apartment owners to charge lower rents and still achieve an acceptable return. Lower rents translate to more discretionary income that renters can put back into the economy. And higher leverage compared to alternate sources of financing translates to lower blended cost of capital, as equity typically requires a higher return than debt.
The reason the FHA multifamily program has been able to continue to offer such attractive benefits to borrowers is the fact that it has continued to adjust its underwriting standards to protect against default. In fact, the agency takes in more borrower premiums each year than it pays out in claims, generating a profit for the federal government. In recent months, the agency has made a number of changes to its underwriting guidelines to help maintain the program's success.
One significant change the FHA has made is in its loan sizing criteria. FHA is now differentiating underwriting among asset classes, with more conservative coverage, LTV, and vacancy criteria the greater the loan's size and the number of units. FHA has also increased credit support escrows for new construction financing. For example, FHA added an owner's hard-cost contingency escrow to cover unforeseen conditions and change orders that require sponsor investment. Escrows for the initial lease-up deficit have also increased to provide greater economic support for the project. If not needed, the balance remaining in these escrows is returned to the developer upon stabilization.
Finally, sponsorship is being examined more closely. For loans above $25 million, FHA requires minimum net worth of 20 percent of the loan and 7.5 percent liquidity among the principals. Specialized properties, such as those that restrict occupancy based on age, require demonstrated experience with the ownership and management of senior housing. FHA has also introduced "creditworthiness" underwriting, requiring real estate owned and maturing debt schedules to evaluate prudence in the sponsors' historical management of real estate and debt.
Borrowers also need to adjust how they view risk, with particular focus on future loan maturity, in making financing decisions today. Historically, borrowers focused on two main types of risk associated with future financing. "Interest rate risk" is the risk that rates will be higher than current rates at construction take-out or at permanent loan maturity. Interest rates affect loan sizing and cash flow. "Market risk" is the risk that economic conditions or valuations that could affect the ability to refinance maturing debt will be less favorable than current conditions.
Borrowers now need to consider two additional forms of risk. "Liquidity risk" refers to capital availability at time of a required refinancing, and usually manifests itself in how long it will take to obtain financing. This risk exposes the property owner with maturing debt to penalties, renegotiation or foreclosure. "Underwriting risk" is the risk that current loan underwriting criteria will change, thereby impeding a successful future refinancing of existing debt.
FHA-insured loans are an effective hedge against these risks. FHA multifamily loan features include long-term, low fixed-rate, nonrecourse financing, with no balloon maturity. In addition, declining call protection is transferrable to a new owner. In today's risk-focused environment, these features can add value and help manage risk.
Last year, the agency insured 1,143 apartment loans nation- wide, or $11.6 billion in total loan volume. The agency is on track to exceed that amount this year. It helps to understand how changes in the capital markets are affecting decisions concerning risk. If you are unsure how these changes will affect you, be sure to reach out to a lender with FHA multifamily experience for an evaluation of how they are likely to impact your specific plans.

Actually, Tyler's first response was correct.
How crazy has the testing environment gotten? Get a load of this:
Tyler Stoken was a well-behaved fourth grader who enjoyed school, earned A's and B's and performed well on standardized tests. In May 2005, he'd completed five of the six days of the Washington State Assessment of Student Learning exam, called WASL, part of the state's No Child Left Behind test.
Then Tyler came upon this question: "While looking out the window one day at school, you notice the principal flying in the air. In several paragraphs, write a story telling what happens."
The 9-year-old was afraid to answer the question about his principal, Olivia McCarthy. "I didn't want to make fun of her," he says, explaining he was taught to write the first thing that entered his mind on the state writing test. In this case, Tyler's initial thoughts would have been embarrassing and mean. So even after repeated requests by school personnel, and ultimately the principal herself, Tyler left the answer space blank. "He didn't want them to know what he was thinking, that she was a witch on a broomstick," says Tyler's mother, Amanda Wolfe, sitting next to her son in the family's ranch home three blocks from Central Park Elementary School in Aberdeen, Washington.
Because Tyler didn't answer the question, McCarthy suspended him for five days. He recalls the principal reprimanding him by saying his test score could bring down the entire school's performance. "Good job, bud, you've ruined it for every- one in the school, the teachers and the school," Tyler says McCarthy told him.
Aberdeen School District Superintendent Martin Kay ordered an investigation. "My suspension was for refusal to comply with a reasonable request, and to teach Tyler that that could harm him in the future,'' McCarthy told an investigator. "I never, for a second, questioned my actions.''
Tyler, who's 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall and weighs 70 pounds (32 kilograms), hasn't been the same since, his mother says. "He liked the principal before this,'' she says. "He cried. He didn't understand why she'd done this to him.'' Now, Tyler blows up at the drop of a hat, his mother says. "They created a monster. He'll never take that test again, even if I have to take him to another state," she says.
Tyler's attitude about school changed. He became shyer. He's afraid of all tests and doesn't do as well in classes anymore, his mother says.
McCarthy's May 6, 2005, letter to Tyler's mother detailed her son's suspension. "The fact that Tyler chose to simply refuse to work on the WASL after many reasonable requests is none other than blatant defiance and insubordination," McCarthy wrote. In the letter, she accused Tyler of bringing down the average score of the other 10 students in his class. "As we have worked so hard this year to improve our writing skills, this is a particularly egregious wound," McCarthy wrote.
Her accusation was wrong, state regulations show. There is no averaging of the writing scores. Each student either meets or fails the state standard.
Well, it appears young Tyler was right on the money in his initial assessment of his principal. Do you think they actually have to reserve an entire parking space for the broomstick?
Personally we are expected NOT to look at kids' answers, which I think is a wise policy, given that one's response may betray a correct answer and end up getting your school in a huge pile of trouble. (And this article is actually a sidebar to a longer article detailing the problems with the grading errors testing companies have made in this high-stakes world.)
But a three day suspension for a nine-year-old who hadn't made anyone go to the hospital? Good grief!

This story kills me. They've got a tender-hearted child with a conscience beyond his years and the principal is slamming him for it. If I were Tyler's mom he would never darken the door of that school again as long as that principal was there.

If this had been a class created by and given by his teacher, I know for a fact that he wouldn't have gotten suspension for refusing to take it. He merely would have received a zero and a call home to mom. Of course, if he'd been rude about the situation or physically defiant, there would have been some other consequences, but they still would not suspened this kid.
I hope Tyler's mom fights all the way for her son, especially since there have probably been kids who've done worse things and gotten off with nothing more than a warning. This situation really pisses me off and makes me feel embarressed for all the good principals and teachers in that district who have to interact with the community with this over their heads.
That should have read "class test" in the first sentence.

I could not believe what i was reading when i first saw this story. I hope the boys mom did take action. The principal is very shallow. How can she say something like (thanks bud you probably brought the whole schools scores down) that to a little kid. I can see how that could ruin his self esteem and motivation to take another test.
I recently have started a a blog discussing some of the issues that happen at my high school and other local high schools. If anyone would like to check it out my link is:

In a way it was a "class test" in which Tyler proved that he has class. The principal failed hers, utterly.

This is a wonderful example of how wrong testing has gone in the US. I imagine that this is not an isolated incident but just one that we have heard about.
At 11/7/06, 10:06 PM, Dan Edwards said...
IF this happened to one of my boys, I'd sue. This is harassment and imtimidation of a student by an "adult" at the school. IMO, the responses by this school staff were also grossly unprofessional.
And the education bureaucrats wonder at the increasing number of homeschooling families....
A class of only 11 students????
Thanks for sharing this story with us.

What has happened to our education system. Apparently the powers that be care more about tests than students. We need to get back to the days where we want to see all students do the best that they can and stop putting all of our eggs in the test basket.

This happened a LONG time ago, and yet it's like it happened yesterday. May 2005 is over a year and a half, but since it got picked up it's like it happened yesterday. And the Central Park School website is still down.

Wow this story hit me hard. My youngest went through a horrible 3rd grade year as a result of a teacher and principal who were hell-bent on maintaining the school's top spot in the district.
The end result for us, after my child refused to go to school, was switching his school. This was after multiple meetings with the administration. No one at this school would acknowledge that prior to the 3rd grade, my son was a good student.
After we changed his school environment, he started feeling safe at school again. It took a long year and a half of getting him back on track. I think this is yet another example of high stakes testing at all cost, even the cost to the mental well-being of children.
At 11/10/06, 9:48 AM, "Ms. Cornelius" said...
You know-- I am sure it doesn't feel like yesterday to Tyler and his mom.
At 11/14/06, 11:35 AM, Goldie said...
Holy Moly, it's a bitch on a broomstick! Really, a new low. I hope the principal is out of her job by now, since it didn't happen yesterday and all, y'know.
That said, after a few similar experiences, we started teaching our kids to write what's expected of them, instead of "the first thing that pops into their head". They will most likely encounter hundreds of morons in their lives, most of them in positions of power, and they might as well learn now how to deal with them. The boy did well, BTW. If I were his Mom, I'd take him on vacation for the entire week he was suspended.

NITDA Partners MICROSOFT On Quantum Leap to Implement Cloud First Strategy
The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) under the stewardship of the Director General, Mallam Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi CCIE, has announced its commitment to strengthen collaboration with the Microsoft Nigeria in ensuring the implementation of the Cloud First Strategy in government Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
Abdullahi disclosed this when he received the team of Microsoft Nigeria led by the new Country Manager, Mrs Ola Williams at the Agency's Corporate Headquarters, Abuja.
The purpose of the visit was to introduce the newly appointed Microsoft boss and to further strengthen the already existing collaboration between the two organizations.
The DG of NITDA stated that the agency had recalibrated its activities to align with the new Government aspirations and have therefore crafted new strategies.
"We are committed to aligning with these new government goals by transforming our agency and to achieve this, we need an organization like yours to do that", he said.
Abdullahi stated that the Developmental regulation is one of the strategic pillars of the Agency's Strategic Road Map and Action Plan (SRAP) 2021-2024 which will encourage innovations and help service providers as well as end consumers.
He said, "Microsoft has been of great assistance in this regard by supporting development of the Cloud Computing Policy.
Abdullahi further stated that the Agency is pushing for Cloud First Strategy in the government and needs further collaboration from Microsoft with the aim of learning the best practices and domesticate them in the country. "We have collaborated on the Nigerian Data Protection Regulations but we need to collaborate more in line with the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy", Abdullahi averred.
The NITDA boss said the Agency has been intensifying efforts on Digital Literacy which is another strategic pillar of its action plan in order to help youths upscale their digital literacy skills and retain their jobs in the trending pandemic era. He further disclosed that the Agency has trained over 2,400 youths and are currently targeting on training 7,200 people from 11 states basically on Microsoft productivity tools, digital content creation and digital marketing.
Abdullahi mentioned that Digital Transformation, Cyber Security, Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship are strategic pillars in which the Agency has collaborated with Microsoft in using technology to enhance traditional processes, help government get insights into the dark web and encourage local startups respectively.
"Small and Medium Scale Enterprises contribute up to 90% of the workforce and it is very important to use technology to create fancy employment for our youths. We have so many initiatives with respect to this and I think you can be a key player", the DG added.
He added that the Agency would need the collaboration of Microsoft in the areas of its Public Key Infrastructure solution to boost cloud first strategies in government institutions and initiate a collaborative process on the acquisition of Microsoft Digital Certificates.
The NITDA DG earlier congratulated the newly appointed Microsoft Boss for being the first female and homegrown boss of Microsoft, adding that NITDA and Microsoft have come a long way and must continue to trail that same direction in order to achieve their goals and objectives.
"With the emergence of a new country manager, we should look at areas we can work together for the betterment of our country Nigeria", Abdullahi noted.
In her remark, Mrs Ola Williams thanked NITDA for its support and partnership over the years, while expressing her utmost appreciation to the Director General for the privilege given to them to contribute their quota to the development of Cloud Policy in Nigeria.
"Our visit here is as a result of your demonstration of contributions and impact to our organization and to solicit for more support and partnership to create a digital Nigeria", she concluded.
Cloud First Strategies which are operational strategies in which infrastructures are being moved to cloud computing platforms like the Amazon web services, Google cloud or Microsoft Azure rather than using physical clusters have been identified to have outstanding benefits in terms of auto-scaling, easy configurability in getting new services online and reliability amongst other benefits.

A zebrafish, the hull of a miniature send, a mathematical equation and a foodstuff chain - what do this stuff have in universal? they're examples of types utilized by scientists to isolate and research specific elements of the realm round us. This e-book starts via introducing the concept that of a systematic version from an intuitive standpoint, drawing parallels to psychological types and inventive representations. It then recounts the background of modelling from the sixteenth century up until eventually the current day. The iterative strategy of version development is defined and mentioned within the context of complicated types with excessive predictive accuracy as opposed to less complicated types that supply extra of a conceptual figuring out. to demonstrate the range of evaluations in the clinical neighborhood, we additionally current the result of an interview examine, within which ten scientists from varied disciplines describe their perspectives on modelling and the way types characteristic of their paintings. finally, it incorporates a variety of labored examples that span diversified modelling ways and strategies. It offers a finished advent to clinical versions and exhibits how types are developed and utilized in smooth technology. It additionally addresses the method of, and the tradition surrounding modelling in several clinical disciplines. It serves as an thought for version construction and likewise allows interdisciplinary collaborations via exhibiting how types are utilized in diversified clinical fields.
The publication is aimed essentially at scholars within the sciences and engineering, in addition to scholars at instructor education faculties yet also will attract readers eager to get an outline of clinical modelling normally and various modelling ways in particular.

12 After these two specific examples let us take a step back and think about the way in which explanations of almost all natural phenomena have changed over time. During the course of history, humans have always put forward explanations as to why the world looks the way it does. Initially these explanations were of a religious nature, but as time has passed scientific explanations have become increasingly common. But where in this chronology do models fit? When did models become commonplace in scientific explanations?
Certain models are not used in this quantitative and predictive sense, and their purpose is rather to explain how a given phenomenon comes about. They are usually called explanatory models, and can be used in order to prevent the appearance of a phenomenon, such as a disease, by providing insight into what parts or processes of the real system are causing the disease. Explanatory models are also common in the social sciences and are often used in order to find out why a certain course of events, such as the outbreak of a war or a revolution, took place.
Mechanisms Previously in this chapter we have discussed the idea of "the world as a machine" and applications of this idea in terms of mechanistic explanations of natural phenomena. This method was first applied in physics (or rather classical mechanics) and has from there spread to other branches of science, and today it is difficult to imagine any kind of science that does not provide its explanations in terms of mechanisms. But what do we actually mean by the concept "mechanism"? The exact meaning of the concept is difficult to pinpoint, the main reason being that it is used by so many disciplines in many different contexts, but a common feature is that it is used when one tries to explain an often complicated phenomenon in terms of simpler steps of interacting components.

It's that magical time of year again when cities are being transformed into winter wonderlands. Decorations are popping up all over the place and Christmas markets transform urban parks spreading the feeling of festive cheer.
It really is a season for the kids. While they are counting down the sleeps until Santa comes, the grown-ups are fretting over what to get their fussy other half or the few extra pounds they are likely to gain over the holidays.
Having given it much thought, my boyfriend and I decided we were not going to exchange gifts this year. Instead, we are going to pretend we are kids by embracing everything that is wonderful about Christmas and well and truly immerse ourselves in the festive spirit.
Earlier this year, we spent a wonderful long weekend at the Hotel Russell situated in one of my favourite parts of London.
The large Victorian building dominates the street it sits on overlooking Russell Square – with perfectly kept gardens. The location is so central we could walk straight into town within 10 minutes and the hotel was literally 30 seconds away from the nearest Tube station. It was surrounded by beautiful boutique shops and major high-street retailers – yet set in the heart of Bloomsbury you would have no idea you were smack bang in the middle of the big smoke.
So where better a place to go back to for our festive celebrations?
Now the area itself is full of hotels, leaving you plenty to choose from, so you might wonder why we would choose to head back to the Hotel Russell.
Firstly, the building itself far outshines everything in the surrounding district. Built in 1898, the mammoth structure looks regal and extremely grand compared to its concrete competitors nearby.
As soon as you step though the doors, it does not lose its appeal as a concierge greets you to help you with your luggage. Inside immediately reminded me of the enchanted castle in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Large marble pillars, winding staircases, ornate chandeliers, a library where you can have afternoon tea and a traditional Victorian dinning hall.
There, you can tuck into an extensive buffet every morning for breakfast. Whether you're after a hearty fry-up or a lighter snack of fruit and yoghurt, the choice is all there. We also ate at the hotel one evening and were pleasantly surprised by the cuisine. Although not Michelin-star quality, the food is tasty and freshly cooked and relatively cheap compared to other restaurants in the capital.
The rooms don't disappoint either. Despite the age of the building, most of the four-star en-suites have recently had an overhaul and have mod-cons including flat-screen TVs and luxury bathrooms.
If you are not after a quiet retreat and are looking to head to London for some serious shopping, the hotel is only a 20-minute walk from Oxford Street, and once you return at night, it's so peaceful you are bound to waken fresh for another day of retail therapy.
The only bad negative of our stay was having to leave. That's why we cannot wait to return for our Christmas treat to ourselves and celebrate in style.


Available only in a limited fine art edition of 80 copies. Each of these pastoral beauties comes housed in a vintage 3.5" film can. Included in the can is an artified, 3″ mini CD hubbed to the inside of the lid, a set of 4 round hi-res photographic prints of Jessica's walking locale, copies of her original score for the piece, twigs gathered on her walks, and a mini textual scroll, all nestled on a bed of moss. Each can itself is hand stamped on the outside, covered with photo and credit info, and verbiage hand typed on an antique typewriter. Befitting the music to the extreme!

10 Gloriously Absurd Albums That Actually Exist
We've been thoroughly enjoying the new Prince Rama record, Top Ten Hits of the End of the World, here at Flavorpill central, and not just because of its rather topical apocalyptic overtones. We're all for outlandish concepts and wild ambition, and this record certainly satisfies both those criteria — it's based around exactly what its title suggests, with the Larson sisters channeling the spirit of ten bands who'll die during some sort of unspecified future holocaust to create a sort of post-apocalyptic compilation record (with a healthy dose of the band's "Now Age" philosophy on the side). The whole thing's as endearingly ridiculous as it sounds, and it's also pretty great — so to celebrate its release, we thought we'd look at some of our favorite records in a similar vein, albums based around concepts that sound too outlandish to be true, but do exist nevertheless. Let us know if you have any to add!
Prince Rama — Top Ten Hits of the End of the World
We'll be honest: we generally regard Brooklyn-based glitter-bedizened neo-hippie types with suspicion. But Prince Rama are so outlandish that it's hard not to like them — their shows are more absurdly flamboyant every time we see them, and to be honest we rather respect a band that's prepared to be this ambitious in an era of post-ironic hashtagged conformity. Even so, they've outdone themselves with this record. According to its press release, "its residual echoes will continue to haunt this world and the next." ॐ!
Coheed and Cambria, generally
New York neo-proggists Coheed and Cambria pretty much define the term "gloriously absurd" — their entire discography is based around an ongoing mythos called The Amory Wars, a sci-fi storyline that concerns the struggle of the titular Coheed and Cambria against a nefarious villain called the Supreme Tri-Mage and also ties into a series of graphic novels written by the band's vocalist Claudio Sanchez.
Ramases — Space Hymns
We discovered this chap via the comments section from our feature last year on weird records. (See? The comments section can be great if everyone's nice to one another!) The musician known as Ramases was plain old Martin Raphael of Sheffield, England, who was happily running a central heating business until he was struck by the conviction that he was actually the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh and that his role in this life was to make strange, wigged-out psychedelic music that discussed ideas like the thought that "we are most probably existing on a molecule inside the material of, perhaps, a living thing in the next size up." His debut album Space Hymns was actually quite good in its own, um, unique way, but sadly failed to trouble the charts.
Rudimentary Peni — Cacophony (1987)
What, you thought that there was no such thing as a 30-song deathrock opus about the life of HP Lovecraft? Ha! You were WRONG!
The Flaming Lips — Gummy Skull EP
Where to begin with Wayne Coyne et al? There's a strong argument for Zaireeka's inclusion here — an album that requires being played on four CD players simultaneously is never gonna be something you queue up on a whim — but still, even the quixotic absurdity of that concept pales in comparison with the silliness of releasing an EP on a USB stick embedded in a giant skull made of marijuana-flavored gummy bear stuff.
The Somerset Strings — Music for Washing and Ironing
Oh yes — long before Music for Airports, a mysterious 1950s group called The Somerset Strings were pioneering the idea of soothing utilitarian music for people in stressful environments. And the stressed people in question? Why, the housewives of America, of course, who would no doubt otherwise be prone to bouts of womanly hysteria in the course of their crushingly tedious domestic chores. No doubt this soothed their fragile little feminine souls, eh? Lest we rest too long on our post-feminist laurels, let's remember that it's barely 50 years since this record's existence was considered perfectly acceptable, and at least one presidential candidate probably owns a copy. Less gloriously absurd than plain old absurd, this is as much an important historical document as it is proof that the 1950s were FUCKED UP.
Michael Viner — The Best of Marcel Marceao
As in, y'know, the famous mime artist (although his name was spelt "Marceau"). This record was the project of one Michael Viner, a producer from LA best known for this, and featured a whole lot of silence followed by applause. Improbably, it charted and won Viner a record deal. It's also a Tom Waits favorite.
Crispin Glover — The Big Problem ≠ the Solution. The Solution = Let It Be
Frankly, if it's half as weird as What Is It?, we're kinda terrified to listen to this. Crispin Glover is scary.
Heins Hoffman-Richter — Music to Freak Your Friends and Break Your Lease
From what we can gather, this amusingly titled early electronic cacophony — which bills itself as a "symphony for tape delay, IBM instruction manual and ohm septet" — was designed to be as strange as possible, and it certainly delivered in spades. Hoffman-Richter would later go onto make something called My Love Lies Sleeping With a Male Chorus, a "Cantata for reverb-a-phone, kitchen utensils and 21 male vices" — sadly, we can find no trace of this later work on the web.
Rick Wakeman — The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
And finally, we discussed this record a while back when we looked at geeky concept albums, but still: King Arthur. On ice. The end.


UK developer 22cans , an independent studio founded by Peter Molyneux in March, wants to create a spiritual successor to Populous. Project GODUS is "an innovative reinvention of Populous," the game's Kickstarter page describes.
If it reaches its £450,000 ($717,000) goal, GODUS will be developed for PC and mobile devices. 22cans says it'll take between seven and nine months to complete, with more time needed if additional funding piles on more features (and platform support) than initially planned. The game will "draw on the cunning battle-psychology of Dungeon Keeper, the living, changing world of Black & White and the instinctive, satisfying gameplay of Populous." You'll play as a god, we're told, and Molyneux hints at city-building and destruction in the video. But beyond that (and like many Kickstarter projects these days) details are scant. It's unclear exactly how the game will operate, what form your god-avatar will take within the world, and what actions you'll perform.
Backer benefit tiers for GODUS range from a £15 ($24) digital copy of the game to rewards that grant alpha access, T-shirts, a signed art book, naming rights to an in-game character, and even "a real, exclusive piece of hand engraved GODUS Titanium jewelery, hand made and beset with one sparkling real diamond." Romantic. Stretch goals aren't yet announced, but Technical Director Tim Rance hints in the video that it would be "more tricky" to go beyond eight-player multiplayer, but that it's a possibility.
I'd like to see more crowdfunded games take the approach that Grim Dawn and Planetary Annihilation did—lay out an explicit list of features, and give us something that at least approximates what gameplay will look like. Otherwise, we're simply being asked to support the ghost of an idea rather than a tangible product—being intentionally vague about how your game will work puts gamers in a position to fill in the gaps with their imagination and nostalgia (in this case: "modern Populous!"), which I see as a slightly manipulative practice. As game creator and Professor of Interactive Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology Ian Bogost put it in July: "We don't really want the stuff. We're paying for the idea, not the product. For the pleasure of desiring it. For the experience of watching it succeed beyond expectations or to fail dramatically. Kickstarter is just another form of entertainment."

Drive-in cinema to show Christmas films with mulled wine and candyfloss

Nightlfix is bringing the UK's biggest inflatable drive-in cinema to Colchester. Picture: NIGHTFLIX
NIGHTFLIX
The UK's biggest inflatable drive-in cinema is opening just off the A12 - promising to bring the best Christmas movies along with festive food and drink.
The 60ft-high screen will arrive as part of the new Winter Food and Film Wonderland when it opens to customers in December at the former Sainsbury's site in Stanway, Colchester.
Although the drive-in cinema will be the main event, there will be tons of festive activities spread across the four acres to keep all the family entertained.
There will be candyfloss stalls, mulled wine, hot chocolate, popcorn and even a mini Christmas market - so you can do that last minute shopping for your children's stockings.
Classic Christmas movies will be shown to revive some old memories.
Brian Graves, the creative director of Nightflix, said there is nothing quite like his creation anywhere else in the county.
He said: "We want to bring the whole county together for the Christmas period, during both the day and night. It's all very exciting.
"The location is perfect as it's close to Ipswich, the A12 and with great bus links coming into Colchester. We hope it will attract a huge audience from all over."
The cinema screen will offer both drive-in and limited seated tickets every evening, from Friday, December 6 right up to Christmas Eve.
Each night there will be two screenings, with the early film at 5.30pm for all the family and a later film primarily aimed at a more mature audience at 8.30pm.
Tickets costs £25 for a standard car, with a maximum of five people. More information on the seated section will be available soon and tickets will be available online in the near future.
What else is in store?
It won't just be your average trip to the movies as there will be a series of Christmas activities to get you in the seasonal spirit.
These include a Christmas card design competition, a "What Christmas means to me" writing competition, some dressing up contests, a reindeer hunt and more.
There is a 10% discount for all services personnel, including military, fire, police and NHS workers. Those looking to benefit should use the code 'SERVICES' at the checkout and make sure to bring along some proof for the gate check.

ON RACISM & PUBLISHING
Workplace Racism survey. People of Color in Publishing and Latinx in Publishing did a Workplace Racism survey in 2018. « To our white colleagues: read these words attentively and share them widely. We ask that you do not approach any of your BIPOC colleagues to discuss this information, but instead call on your white colleagues. We have included an Actionable Takeaways and Resources section and recommend creating your own living list as well, as you know your own role and areas of influence best. Dismantling racism in publishing requires continuous self-education and anti-racist attention and action. This survey focused on workplace culture at publishing companies in the U.S., but we acknowledge that these issues needs to be addressed in other parts of the book industry, including at literary agencies, review journals, bookstores, and libraries, and within the author and illustrator community around the world. » You can read the full survey results here.

Female instrumentalists have been a rarity in jazz music, but Esperanza Spalding, only 25 years old, is an irresistible and intriguing performer who is forging new paths in the jazz world. With the ability to not only play double bass, sing, and compose music, but also to do all of these things simultaneously in performance, Spalding is often referred to as "the hope for the future of jazz and instrumental music."
Spalding was born on October 18, 1984 in Portland, Oregon and was raised in a single-parent, multi-lingual household. Spalding says her mother's strong-willed, independent nature, was an important aspect of her development as a musician: her mother was her role model and taught her the value of perseverance, moral character, and work ethic. Spalding did not excel in school and also suffered from childhood illness; however, causing her to be home-schooled for several years and eventually drop out of high school by age sixteen.
Despite her struggles, music spoke to Spalding. At age five, Spalding taught herself to play the violin, and by age six, she won a position in the Chamber Music Society of Oregon. But Spalding was truly fascinated with the double bass, and its ability to play classical music as well as jazz, funk, blues, and hip-hop. By age fifteen, in addition to fulfilling her position as concertmistress with the Chamber Music Society of Oregon, Spalding was playing double bass and writing songs in local clubs.
After leaving high school but receiving a GED, Spalding enrolled as the youngest bass player at Portland State University and finished her degree in three years. She then became the youngest faculty member in the history of the Berklee College of Music.
Aside from being a modern day Mozart-like prodigy, Spalding's performances and recordings exhibit her most intriguing and inspiring talents. Composing songs that cross boundaries between classical, jazz, hip-hop, and funk music, singing lyrics or scat, and playing bass simultaneously, Spalding is a visionary performer. Listen to and watch Esperanza Spalding's performances at www.esperanzaspalding.com.

Bevlahh Love to take photos,all photos are mine,taken on my iPhone 5S/6S plus let me show the story - share my journey - follow to show your appreciation !
A few photos I've taken over the past couple of years that I thought I'd share with you. I hope you like them!


'Industry 4.0' refers to an expected, fundamental shift in the manufacturing sector whereby advanced automation and data exchange leads to the creation of hyper-efficient 'smart factories' as well as other significant improvements in the ways producers operate. Some insiders are calling this trend the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
While information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) have been used side-by-side on the factory floor for decades – indeed, it's impossible to really separate the two – recent movements toward the Internet of Things, cloud computing and more autonomous cyber-physical systems are opening up new worlds of possibilities for optimization.
Introduction of Industry 4.0-type solutions could impact everything from how quality is monitored to how much effort goes into supply chain management, with changes extending even to how employees work with and share information.
The overall aim of making these changes, naturally, is to be able to manufacture products at the highest possible rates of efficiency using the least amount of energy and cost. But another key benefit of digitization is boosting factories' ability to customize. In other words, production lines will become flexible enough to allow production of small quantities of tailor-made goods at a far lower prices than ever before.
Several players in Estonia's ICT sector focus on Industry 4.0 development. At the center of their strategy is a concept called Real Time Factory which, as the name suggests, allows managers to track key performance indicators in real time, showing where improvements can be made and allowing the entire factory to operate as one integrated system. Tallinn-based SimFactory, for example, specializes in helping electronics manufacturers adopt the Real Time Factory approach, giving them the kind of data-driven production that can streamline every aspect of their operations.
Though factory owners and managers may be skeptical or find the prospect of adopting Industry 4.0-type solutions daunting, they should keep in mind that Estonian IT companies have already successfully overcome the significant inertia and hurdles involved in digitizing the government sector. For these companies, making fundamental improvements in the far more receptive private sector will seem like no challenge at all.


Sold Macbook on EBAY, buyer claims he is locked out of it?
Discussion in 'MacBook Pro' started by Tachion, Apr 25, 2015.
I recently sold my old MBP on eBay and now the buyer is flipping out on me telling me he can't do anything on it because when I erased the hard drive and reinstalled osx it linked to my apple ID and I'm the administrator on the laptop, meaning it won't let him do anything.
I linked him to the erase and reinstall instructions on apple's website for OSX but he claims he can't do anything because I'm an administrator on it? Can he seriously not wipe the hard drive and reinstall os x using his own apple ID because it's linked to mine?
Any ideas? I'm certainly not giving this guy my password and I don't know what else to do or tell him. I have a feeling he's about to dispute the money with PayPal and I'll be screwed.
Edit: He just opened a dispute on eBay and is demanding I refund his his money as I was typing this.
Heard a lot of stuff like this with eBay and MacBooks (thought not limited to) I recently had mine up on there for sale but it didn't meet the reserve. Which tbh I'm glad about.
As for your post, I'd suggest asking the buyer returns the item and his costs are refunded. Remember to check the serial number to ensure its the same as the one you sent.
IMO, eBay is risky these days and is certainly not worth the hassle.
Is there any way I can allow him to restore the system without giving him my apple ID and password? Can I do it remotely for him?
Did you sign out of Find my Mac and iCloud on the mac before handing it over?
You could try logging into iCloud.com now on any computer, and go to "Find my iPhone" there. Even though it is labelled Find my iPhone it finds your signed in Macs there too. If it still shows your MBP then I think new buyer may have a problem. Thee may be other ways round it.
From a quick look I couldn't see that you could delete a device from there, but I was a big reluctant to try for real.
The important screen is the Find my iPhone one with the map. If your mac (under "all devices") is there it is still signed in to your account. Some people have signed out of Find my Mac correctly, but it can still appear in the Settings list for up to 90 days, even though signed out. This is annoying but doesn't matter.
In theory you could send him you apple ID and password then change your password, promptly, but confess I would nervous doing this.
As above, get the buyer to put it online via WiFi, go to iCloud, Find My iPhone, select the device and choose Erase My Mac.
Unless you had FileVault setup the buyer should be able to erase and reinstall locally via Option-boot but via iCloud should also work.
The hard drive was erased with one of the more secure options (3x pass, I think?) then OSX was reinstalled. I then logged onto OSX to make sure it worked, which I'm sure is what the problem is.
I've linked him a video about how to erase the hard drive and reinstall osx, but he doesn't understand. He doesn't understand he needs an Apple ID to reinstall the os. So, basically, I'm getting screwed because I messed up by logging into osx after the erase and install, and because he has no idea how to follow instructions to erase the hard drive and reinstall osx and probably doesn't have an Apple ID.
Never selling on ebay again. Thanks for the help everyone, though.
He is kind of stuck if he is trying to erase and reinstall, since he does not have an AppleID that was used to "purchase" Yosemite.
Here is what he can do. Follow this process to make the machine run the new system setup wizard, then during that he can make an admin account. Then he will need to go here and create an AppleID. Then have him login to the app store and purchase Yosemite with his AppleID and stop the download since he does not need the installer.
Then have him follow this guide to boot to recovery and erase the drive and install Yosemite with his own AppleID that he just created.
You mean you signed with your Apple ID after the erase and reinstall....but didn't sign out again?
Alright, all sorted out. Finally.
Turns out, Mavericks doesn't like a "blank" admin password (which I hadn't assigned one as, like I mentioned earlier, I had just logged on to verify the OS install went well and never assigned a password, assuming the buyer would do so).
Thanks everyone for the help. Really appreciate it.
On a side note, for future reference, any suggestions where the best place to sell Apple stuff would be in the future that isn't EBay?
Probably craigslist and meet somewhere public/an Apple retail store. I haven't sold any Macs before but when I've sold old cell phones I always wipe it and then meet at a verizon store with the buyer and offer to stick around while Verizon checks out the phone for the buyer and make sure it's all good(clean number/not stolen, etc.). I'd assume the process would be similar for selling a Macbook.
I don't deal with selling stuff on eBay but from everything I've read it's buyer's sided and seems like a hassle for sellers, plus eBay+PayPal take a 10% cut.
I have bought 2 Macs from Craigslist, sold one there, and bought two on eBay. No problems with any of the transactions. One of the eBay purchases had a shipping problem but it was the post office at fault not the seller. If there's a good market in your area Craigslist is probably the best. I think you can probably net the same as eBay. If you live in Podunkville where 2 people have Macs then eBay is a better bet.
I've sold a couple things in the marketplace here. If you haven't been here long enough / have enough posts, you won't see it in the forum list.


Sunday evening in Luxembourg was far from thrilling. I passed the evening in a cafe, which was not serving much food. I could only get soup, so I had three bowls for my evening meal.
In the morning I had to get up at 5am to catch a train back to London. I walked out into the darkness and found the country swathed in thick fog. As I walked back along the Corniche, the lights of the houses on the valley floor shone through.
The train left Luxembourg in darkness, and I fell asleep in a more or less empty carriage. When I woke a couple of hours later, the carriage was full and I was surrounded by commuters heading into Brussels. A grey day was dawning, and rain was falling as I changed trains at Brussels. I got a coffee and pastry from the same cafe I'd been to on the way, and then got the Eurostar back to St. Pancras.


The New York Red Bulls have it all to do in Mexico following a disappointing 2-0 loss to Santos Laguna on Tuesday night in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions League quarterfinals.
Diego Valdes finished off Julio Furch's feed three minutes before halftime, who had been on the back foot for much of the game before taking the lead.
Furch added a goal shortly after the break for Santos, coming off Javier Correa's pefectly weighted one-touch redirection of Brian Lozano's pass from the right.
The Red Bulls outshot Santos 14-10, led 5-4 in shots on target and took all seven of the match's corners, but were shut out at home for a second consecutive CCL game at home against a Liga MX opponent. Chivas drew the Red Bulls 0-0 in the second leg of last year's semifinals en route to winning the tournament.
The result means the Red Bulls must win either 2-0 next week in Mexico to force penalties, or by three or more goals to advance outright to get back to the semifinal stage.
THE BIG PICTURE: Regardless of what happens in the return leg, the Red Bulls will have to make sure the effects of this night don't linger into MLS play. Before Tuesday, New York had made Red Bull Arena an absolute fortress.
In the #RBNYvSAN, #RBNY just allowed a goal at @RedBullArena for the first time in 799 minutes across all comps dating back to last year.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH: Furch and Valdez had the goals, but it will be Correa's exceptional, improvisational service that lives on from this match.
MAN OF THE MATCH: Santos goalkeeper Jonathan Orozco had five saves was exceptional on multiple occasions, including this first-half foot save on Daniel Royer and later a 90th-minute denial of Bradley Wright-Phillips.

sport, local-sport, Ferguson Cup, CSU, Mudgee, rugby union, Central West, Dom Huggett
THEY can consider themselves unlucky not to have finished as the Ferguson Cup minor premiers, but CSU will cast those thoughts aside this Saturday as they fight to keep their season alive. A quirk of the draw saw CSU, Dubbo Rhinos and Mudgee allocated one less game than the other nine teams in the competition. So while CSU actually won more matches that minor premiers West Wyalong – the students victorious in 11 of their 12 games – they ended up missing top spot by one point. But in a further twist, the Mudgee team CSU now faces in an elimination final as part of the seven-team finals format, declined to play the students when the quirk was discovered and offered the chance to balance things out. "Us and Mudgee played one game less than anyone else, so we requested a make-up match against Mudgee to make it even. They weren't interested in it, but that just makes us excited to verse them in the semis," CSU coach Dom Huggett said. CSU has beaten Mudgee twice already this season, winning 29-10 at University Oval then scrapping home 29-22 in the second meeting on the Wombats' home turf. Those games highlighted one big area where Mudgee can threaten this Saturday. "Mudgee have a few big girls who are very solid up the middle. They are very good at scrumaging – in the second round they pretty much would have won all the scrums in the first half I reckon," Huggett said. "They are also very good off the line-out. They have a few moves which, if they get a line-out near our line, they are very dangerous. "So we have to shut that down, we know they are good in the forwards." What will help CSU in its bid to contain the Mudgee pack is the work they have put into improving their defence. "Our attack I feel is good, I'm comfortable with it, we're pretty good out wide and everyone knows what to do. Our defence, well it's not been the worst, but it's not been the best," Huggett said. "The last couple of weeks we've been doing a lot of contact work against each other and really working on our mentality in defence. Working on those one-on-one tackles against the bigger girls – that's something which we've lack in our games. "Without a doubt we've improved that. A lot of it is the mental work, a lot of these girls have never played a contact sport and when you get a really big player running at them full pace, they get a bit scared. "But we've got comfortable now whacking each other and because of that, yeah, our defence has improved. It's just understanding defence and how the plays work, it's all coming together now. "I'm excited to see how we go against Mudgee's forward pack. "We've got two forwards missing from our side this weekend, but in saying that, we have got quite good depth. We have some strong tacklers that we can slot in and we've got some strong runners, so I'm not too worried." CSU's final against Mudgee will kick-off at 2pm at Molong, with Cowra and Emus plus Bulldogs and Temora to square-off as well.

CSU will face Mudgee in a Ferguson Cup elimination final.
THEY can consider themselves unlucky not to have finished as the Ferguson Cup minor premiers, but CSU will cast those thoughts aside this Saturday as they fight to keep their season alive.
PLAYMAKER: Meg Kempson and her CSU team-mates face sudden-death.
A quirk of the draw saw CSU, Dubbo Rhinos and Mudgee allocated one less game than the other nine teams in the competition.
So while CSU actually won more matches that minor premiers West Wyalong – the students victorious in 11 of their 12 games – they ended up missing top spot by one point.
But in a further twist, the Mudgee team CSU now faces in an elimination final as part of the seven-team finals format, declined to play the students when the quirk was discovered and offered the chance to balance things out.
"Us and Mudgee played one game less than anyone else, so we requested a make-up match against Mudgee to make it even. They weren't interested in it, but that just makes us excited to verse them in the semis," CSU coach Dom Huggett said.
CSU has beaten Mudgee twice already this season, winning 29-10 at University Oval then scrapping home 29-22 in the second meeting on the Wombats' home turf.
Those games highlighted one big area where Mudgee can threaten this Saturday.
"Mudgee have a few big girls who are very solid up the middle. They are very good at scrumaging – in the second round they pretty much would have won all the scrums in the first half I reckon," Huggett said.
"They are also very good off the line-out. They have a few moves which, if they get a line-out near our line, they are very dangerous.
"So we have to shut that down, we know they are good in the forwards."

What will help CSU in its bid to contain the Mudgee pack is the work they have put into improving their defence.
"Our attack I feel is good, I'm comfortable with it, we're pretty good out wide and everyone knows what to do. Our defence, well it's not been the worst, but it's not been the best," Huggett said.
"The last couple of weeks we've been doing a lot of contact work against each other and really working on our mentality in defence. Working on those one-on-one tackles against the bigger girls – that's something which we've lack in our games.
"Without a doubt we've improved that. A lot of it is the mental work, a lot of these girls have never played a contact sport and when you get a really big player running at them full pace, they get a bit scared.
"But we've got comfortable now whacking each other and because of that, yeah, our defence has improved. It's just understanding defence and how the plays work, it's all coming together now.

The main component of Caverta is Sildenafil which relaxes muscles and increases blood flow to particular areas of the body. Sildenafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. From another side, it is also used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension and improve exercise capacity.
The drug is usually taken only when needed, once daily, 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity. If you have a high fat food, the drug will active lately. Avoid using it with grapefruit juice.
Avoid using the medicine if you have an allergic reaction to the components. Also be careful with using in aged people.
Do not take Caverta if you are also using another impotence medicines, a nitrate drug for breast pain or heart problems. Avoid using by women and children, patients with the allergic reaction.
The medicine may cause headache, heart attacks, belly upset, giddiness, diarrhea and an allergy. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.
Caverta can't cooperate with nitrates and recreational drugs, containing amyl or butyl nitrite, alpha-blocker drugs, medications for impotence or hypertension medicines. Tell your doctor about all medications you use.

Q: Partially unboxed vectors I have a data type of the form:
data T = { a :: Int, b :: ComplexOtherDataType }

I can obviously put these into regular vectors from the Data.Vector module.  But I want really, really good performance when I access the a component, so the extra indirection is undesirable.  What I want to do is make T an instance of Data.Vector.Unboxed.Unbox, but still have b be lazy.
The vector-th-unbox provides a nice template haskell interface for making instances of Unbox, but it won't work in my case.  It requires that in order to make T an instance of Unbox, both a and b must also be instances.  But I don't want to unbox b.  I want it to be boxed/lazy.
My intuition says that the easiest way to overcome this obstacle is by providing a type
newtype LazyUnbox a = LazyUnbox a

Then, I need to provide an Unbox instance for LazyUnbox that will basically just store a pointer inside the unboxed vector.  How can I do this?  Or is there a better approach entirely?

A: Edward Kmett wrote a post explaining how to do this exact thing:
https://www.schoolofhaskell.com/user/edwardk/revisiting-matrix-multiplication/part-3
I can't understand why the second field stays boxed in his code, but I'm sure that it works. It's the hybrid-vectors package.

A: How do you imagine "storing a pointer as unbox" (i. e. machine word) value? GHC runtime don't allow to obtain pointers to managed structures, as far as I know.
A tradeoff solution is making your own VG.Vector instance, ex.
data TVector = TVector (VU.Vector Int) (V.Vector ComplexOtherDataType)

instance VG.Vector TVector T where
    basicUnsafeIndexM (TVector va vb) i = do
        a <- basicUnsafeIndexM va i
        b <- basicUnsafeIndexM vb i
        return (T a b)
    ...

You can extract unboxed part VU.Vector Int when needed.

A Parent's review of 'An Illiad'
by Laura Hoevener | Oct 26, 2014 | Events |
When I heard that 'An Iliad was going to be performed at the Ensemble Theater, I was thrilled, knowing that my freshman son was going to have to read it for his literature class next year. He, being a sports-minded 14 year-old who doesn't generally enjoy his assigned literature material, was not so enthusiastic. When I told him that I had been offered media tickets to attend the show, he was hoping I would invite someone, anyone, besides him. With the promise of an ice cream treat after the show, I dragged him downtown as my date for the evening. I tried to explain to him that plays aren't generally written to be boring, and assured him it would be worth his time. I was quite relieved when, at the end of the show, he agreed that he was glad he came and that he actually enjoyed it!
The entire play is performed by one actor, "The Poet", who is on stage for the entire 100 minute show with no intermission. The Poet is performed by Bruce Cromer who you may have seen playing Ebenezer Scrooge at Playhouse in the Park's version of A Christmas Carol. As The Poet, he tells the story of the Iliad to the audience. Thankfully, the 15,693 line poem is condensed into a more manageable story. It's the story of the Trojan War, but most importantly, the people, the soldiers, the wives left behind, and the children of the war. Its told in an up-to-date way, making the audience feel like it didn't take place 3000 years ago. It has a contemporary feel, while still sharing the original story. The director, Michael Evan Haney, states in the playbill that "This is an Iliad for the 21st Century."
I had heard the show was PG13, and I would agree with that rating. The show deals with the horrors of war, has some intense moments and also has some explanations of death and the horrific battles in the war. You will hear some strong language (the F word is used four times.) I was personally glad I left my 11 year old daughter at home, I think it might have been too much for her, but my 14 year old son was quite capable of handling it.
The show was explained to me as having an anti-war theme, which it does, but only in the idea that war does horrible things to humanity. Children lose fathers, wives lose husbands, friends lose friends. It does not make a political anti-war statement. It was all a very human view of the horrors of war.
Bruce Cromer's acting alone was reason enough to see the show. It seemed that he put enough physical effort and emotion into the show that he probably could have run a half-marathon and exerted the same amount of effort. He climbed ladders, jumped onto tables and truly had a command of the stage and the character. He filled the show with rage, passion and amazing characterizations. He could become the wife of a warrior lovingly holding a baby one second, and the brave warrior saying goodbye to her the next second. The amount of skill, endurance, emotion, and even memorization was absolutely phenomenal. At one point in the show he brilliantly listed every war and invasion through the course of history. I am still in awe at how anyone could remember every one of them. Hearing the list seemed to convey the idea that there have been too many wars, as a part of our history the wars have destroyed families and lives. Watching Mr. Cromer perform a show like this with no intermission was pretty amazing to witness.
We were very impressed with 'An Iliad'. I do think it will help my son when he has to read the story next year for Literature. I can't promise it will make him enjoy the story anymore, but I hope it will help him understand the ideas behind the story and the meaning of the tale. I would recommend that this is a great show to see with your teens or as a date night. It runs through November 2, 2014, so hurry down to the Ensemble Theater and see this show.

Le Concours Lépine est un concours français d'inventions créé en 1901 par Louis Lépine (1846-1933), alors préfet de police de l'ancien département de la Seine.

Initiée par le préfet Lépine, l'événement porte à partir du 30 septembre 1901 le nom d'« Exposition des jouets et articles de Paris », et donne lieu à une compétition du 24 novembre au 8 décembre suivant, devant un jury. Ce concours devient annuel et est rebaptisé « concours Lépine » dès 1902.

Plusieurs inventions célèbres y ont été primées, on peut notamment citer l'aspirateur Birum en 1907, le moulin à légumes manuel en 1931 à l'origine du succès de l'entreprise Moulinex, le jeu du Cochon qui rit (1934), le stylo à bille, le moteur à deux temps, le fer à repasser à vapeur, l'hélice à pas variable et les lentilles de contact.

Histoire

En 1900, les petits fabricants de jouets et d'articles de Paris, pourtant réputés internationalement pour leur qualité et leur inventivité, souffrent de la concurrence étrangère, notamment allemande. À de rares exceptions comme l'entreprise Kratz-Boussac, cet « artisanat en chambre » se concentre essentiellement dans le quartier du Temple et ses fabricants indépendants se mettent alors à vendre à la sauvette différentes babioles dans les quartiers fréquentés de Paris, concurrençant les boutiquiers et provoquant l'intervention croissante des hirondelles, les agents de police à bicyclette de la marque Hirondelle, corps récemment créé par le préfet Louis Lépine.

Par ailleurs, depuis 1876, existait à Paris, « l'Exposition permanente des inventions nouvelles », installée à l'angle des rues La Fayette et Laffite, reprise en 1889 par l'ingénieur civil Henri Farjas, qui souhaite développer une société de vulgarisation des inventions au moyen d'une exposition permanente des inventions nouvelles. Cette manifestation vise les industriels, les expositions internationales, et moins le grand-public et les « petits inventeurs et fabricants » qui se sentent isolés.

Émile Laurent, préfet hors cadre, adjoint de Lépine et secrétaire général de la préfecture de police, est ainsi alerté par les troubles à l'ordre public de ces petits fabricants et met au courant son supérieur de leur marasme. Le préfet, plutôt que de multiplier les rondes de police, met en place en 1901 un concours-exposition de jouets et de bibelots pour mieux faire découvrir leur travail et par contre-coup réglementer le commerce de rue. Il en rédige le règlement, fait passer des annonces dans la presse et publie des affiches pour attirer des nombreux candidats en octobre 1901, en vain. Émile Laurent a l'idée de faire bénéficier les concurrents d'une protection juridique de leur invention contre le plagiat : ce dépôt de brevet gratuit fait affluer les inscriptions : 370 candidats présentent pour la première édition le  plus de 700 inventions dans le grand hall du tribunal de commerce.

La première exposition des jeux et jouets, quincaillerie, articles d'ameublement, de ménage, de sport, de mécanique, de TSF, de photographie, attire  dont la femme du président de la République Émile Loubet.

À l'origine, un jury (élus municipaux, académiciens, scientifiques) distribue 50 médailles (or, vermeil, bronze, selon un modèle conçu par Étienne Victor Exbrayat) et offre un total de  francs-or en espèces dont  francs de récompense pour le premier prix, qui récompensa en 1901, l'inventeur d'un jeu de société, M. Challes (ou Chasles), également récipiendaire en 1902. Cette manifestation est identifiée par la presse dès novembre 1901, comme le « concours Lépine » du jouet.

Les années suivantes confirment ce succès. Le concours Lépine et la Société des petits fabricants et inventeurs français (SPFIF, devenue l'AIFF, Association des inventeurs et fabricants français) constituent une association loi de 1901 le . La SPFIF devient l'organisatrice du concours dès 1902.

L'Association des petits fabricants et inventeurs français a été présidée de 1902 à 1904 par Édouard Seigneurie (1859-1917), officier de l'instruction publique et membre fondateur de l'association. En 1901, il avait obtenu une médaille d'argent au premier concours Lépine avec l'un des jouets qu'il avait inventé.

C'est Édouard Seigneurie qui, avec les moyens de l'association, organisa le concours Lépine au Jardin de Paris (esplanade des Champs-Élysées) en 1902. Le succès du concours fit connaître l'association dans le monde entier. Originaire de Caen, M. Seigneurie était venu se fixer à Paris où il avait fondé une maison pour la fabrication de jouets en bois. En septembre 1903, le concours occupe le Petit Palais. À partir de 1904, le concours s'ouvre pleinement aux petites inventions.

Le , la SPFIF devient une association reconnue d'utilité publique.

Le concours se déroule malgré la Première Guerre mondiale sauf en 1914 et 1915. En 1916, il s'ouvre à un jury d'enfants et les recettes sont en partie reversées aux œuvres des blessés du front, sous la houlette de René Vallery-Radot. En 1917, il est organisé dans les salles du jeu de paume du jardin des Tuileries et en 1918 au Petit Palais de Paris.

L'AIFF a l'idée de promouvoir le concours sur le modèle de la foire de Leipzig : la foire de Paris accueille le concours en 1929.

En 1936, le concours enregistre  payantes.

En 1996, Gérard Dorey devient président du concours Lépine.

En 2005, Antoine Saucède et Matthieu Lapeyre, alors âgés de 15 ans, reçoivent le prix du président du jury. Ils sont les premiers mineurs à être récompensés par le concours Lépine pour leur « boîte aux lettres magique ».

En 2009, les organisateurs ont mis en place une « Avenue des femmes » afin de promouvoir les inventions créées par des femmes. Seules trois femmes (Florence Florit en 2001, Martine Losego en 2002 et Florence Poulet-Daumas en 2009) ont reçu à ce jour la plus haute distinction du concours depuis 1901. L'objectif est de montrer que l'invention n'est pas qu'une prérogative masculine et d'inciter les femmes à déposer les brevets à leur nom et non à celui de leur mari.

En 2015, Guillaume Rolland, âgé de tout juste 18 ans, reçoit le prix Léonard de Vinci décerné par Comexposium. Il est récompensé par le concours Lépine pour son réveil olfactif qui diffuse des odeurs de cappuccino, de menthe ou bien de jus d'orange à l'aide de capsules jetables.

Organisation

La participation au concours est soumise à plusieurs conditions :
 un titre de propriété intellectuelle ou industrielle doit être déposé ;
 l'invention doit être matérialisée par un prototype ou une maquette ;
 l'inventeur doit être adhérent à l'AIFF ;
 louer un stand sur le site de la manifestation. Son objectif est de récompenser une invention originale.

En 2021, l'appellation « Concours Lépine » recouvre plusieurs manifestations :
 le concours Lépine international Paris, organisé au parc des expositions de la porte de Versailles dans le  de Paris se déroule en même temps que la foire de Paris en étant intégré dans son espace d'exposition. La récompense majeure de ce concours est le prix du Président de la République ;
 le concours Lépine européen de Strasbourg remis dans le cadre de la foire européenne ;
le concours Lépine méditerranéen de Montpellier remis dans le cadre de la foire international de Montpellier ;
 le Salon des Jeunes Inventeurs et Créateurs de Monts en Indre-et-Loire ;
 L'International Invention Show and Technomart à Taipei à Taiwan.

En moyenne, environ la moitié des inventions présentées sont primées. Ainsi en 2009 ont été attribués à Paris 242 prix, médailles ou récompenses, dont 29 médailles d'or, 39 médailles d'argent et 67 médailles de bronze, auxquels il faut ajouter les différents prix attribués dans d'autres salons en France.

Si toutes les inventions disposant d'un titre de propriété industrielle ou intellectuelle peuvent être présentées au concours Lépine (dans les limites de la légalité), elles ne peuvent toutes être retenues pour être exposées lors du concours. Les 500 inventions effectivement sélectionnées le sont sur différents critères, notamment leur utilité et leur viabilité économique.

Lauréats

Culture

Arts graphiques
Le Concours Lépine a donné lieu a de nombreuses productions d'affiches lithographiées à partir de 1912. Parmi les artistes convoqués, Robert Falcucci (1932) et Edgard Derouet (1934, 1937).

Littérature
En 1968, le sociologue et philosophe français Jean Baudrillard décrit le concours Lépine dans son ouvrage Le Système des objets : .

Dans son ouvrage « Galipettes et cabrioles à l'Élysée » paru en 2008, l'écrivain français Thierry Desjardins écrit à propos du Président de la République Nicolas Sarkozy : .

Le concours Lépine est nommé dans le  des 480 souvenirs cités par Georges Perec dans Je me souviens.

Q: WCF Options when using Entity Framework on backend and WPF on front end I have been assigned the task of removing the WCF aspects of the solution and tp plug the GUI directly into Entity Framework objects. Currently the WCF service lives between the GUI (WPF) and any entity framework aspects.
I apologize for not being more knowledgeable about what I am asking about but I am brand new to these technologies. I am hoping that something "jumps right off the page" for some to give me answers about.
I am actively in the process of learning about these things and I have the application in a .sln file so I can dissect it in Visual Studio. Thanks in advance for any help.
The GUI needs to have controls bound to the data without using WCF, thanks

A: According to your question, I assume you have two class libraries for WCF services, entity framework and a WPF application.
What you can do is create a mock class inside the WPF application and Entity framework class library to link both entity framework and WPF application.
The First step, implement methods inside the class of WPF application to call Entity framework class methods.
The Second step, implement methods inside Entity Framework mock class to communicate with entities and tables to retrieve values from the database through ADO Model.
Example :
WPF Application Mock Class
public class DBWrapper
{
    public bool AddCandidate(Candidate mCandidate)
    {
        DBAccess dba=new DBAccess();
        dba.AddCandidate(mCandidate);
    }
}

Entity Framework Class Library Mock Class
public class DBAccess
{
     public bool AddCandidate(Candidate mCandidate)
     {
          try
          {
             //Entity framework entities object instantiation
             var hrEntities=new HREntities();
             hrEntities.Candidate.Add(mCandidate);
             hrEntities.SaveChanges();
             return true;
          }
          catch(Exception ex)
          {
             return false;
          }
          return false;
     }
}

Hope this helps you.

Q: Angular 2 - Ожидание выполнения CanActivate Вопрос - есть определенные роуты, определенные с помощью стандартного метода роутинга Angular. В CanActivate я указываю свой guard
@Injectable()
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate {

constructor(private router: Router, private authService: AuthService){
}

canActivate(): Observable<boolean> | boolean {
// here check if this is first time call. If not return
// simple boolean based on user object from authService
// otherwise:

return this.authService.getAuthenticated.map(user => {
      this.authService.setUser(user);
      return user ? true : false;
})

} }

Мне необходимо, чтобы при переходе на url, страница не показывалась, пока не выполнилась операция в CanActivate, т.е. работала не асинхронно, а происходило ожидание результата и уже зависимо от него происходил либо переход, либо возврат на предыдущую страницу.
Как это реализовать?

A: Какой результат при текущей реализации?
Если функция authService.getAuthenticated возвращает Observable, то это вероятная причина того, что canActivate не выполняется.

A: canActivate должен возвращать Observable и задерживать переход на страницу. Вот пример кода, который задерживает выполнение перехода на 15 секунд:
canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot): Observable<boolean> {
  return Observable.timer(15000).map(() => true);

Construction case was sent to referee for a report
By: dmc-admin January 11, 2010
Cleveland Construction filed a complaint against Ellis-Don Construction, Inc.; HKS, Inc.; Federal Insurance Company; and The Travelers Casualty and Surety Company (formerly known as Aetna Casualty and Surety Company) on Nov. 30, 2004.
The claims arose out of work the plaintiff performed on the University of North Carolina Women's & Children's Hospital Project. Defendant Ellis-Don was a prime contractor on the project, and the plaintiff was one of its subcontractors. The plaintiff made a claim for its subcontract balance, extras, delays and disruptions.
The case was called for trial before Judge Hobgood in March 2008. However, Judge Hobgood ordered the case to be heard before a referee due to the length and complexity of the case.
The parties proposed Andy Penry as the referee, and the court appointed Penry as referee in a May 15, 2008, order.
The referee conducted 16 days of hearings in October and November 2008, during which sworn testimony and documentary evidence were presented. The parties filed proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law in February 2009.
The referee issued a 36-page report based on these hearings on July 14, 2009.
On Dec. 1, 2009, Judge Hobgood entered judgment in the plaintiff's favor in the amount of $2,220,902, plus costs.
The judgment was entered against Ellis-Don Construction, Federal Insurance Company and Travelers, jointly and severally. The case is now on appeal.
