Texas falls to West Virginia 1-0, awaits NCAA Tournament bracket

The No. 18 Texas Longhorns finished their Big 12 campaign bowing out of the Big 12 Championship tournament after falling to No. 14 West Virginia once again on Friday night.
With the loss, Texas reduces its chance to possibly receive a higher seed and home field advantage in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, which starts November 9.
The Longhorns were unable to defeat a West Virginia squad that gave them a lot of trouble in their first matchup in Morgantown with a 2-1 loss on Oct. 7.
The second match against the Mountaineers looked awfully similar to their first.
West Virginia outshot Texas again 28-9, including 9-4 in shots on goal. Texas struggled to sustain offensive pressure throughout most of the game while West Virginia looked as comfortable as it did in the first matchup against the Longhorns.
The Longhorns defense was threatened all night challenging goalkeeper Nicole Curry to record seven saves. West Virginia also attempted eight corners to Texas' two.
Head coach Angela Kelly made the decision to play Canadian freshman Emma Regan over senior Paige Hooper. The senior, who was among the team leaders in minutes during the regular season, did not play a single minute of the Big 12 Championship tournament.
Cyera Hintzen, who has been an offensive juggernaut all season has been quiet as of late. The junior forward has not scored since Oct. 5 against Iowa State.
The first and only goal came from the Mountaineers at the 63 minute mark when midfielder Nadya Gill dribbled the ball toward the top of the box before passing a through ball to forward Sh'Nia Gordon who then finished from 15 yards out.
The Big 12 is recognized as the toughest conference in the country, and Texas has been battle tested with grueling road trips as well as midseason injuries. And while Texas fell short of its goal to win the Big 12, the Longhorns will look to finish their season strong with a promising showing at the NCAA Tournament.
The Longhorns' NCAA Tournament path will be determined during the annual NCAA Selection Show broadcast through NCAA.com on Monday at 3:30 p.m.

Sichuan Earthquake
Pushaplata Sharma
Views : 2670 | July 2008
On May 12, 2008, at 06:28:00 UTC (2:28 PM local time in China), an earthquake occurred 90 km WNW of Chengdu, Sichuan, China and 1545 km SW of Beijing, China. Epicenter was located in South-Western China near Sichuan at latitude 30.986, longitude 103.364. It was measured 7.9 on the Richter scale. Several aftershocks followed the same day up to 5 pm. A strong aftershock measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale rocked Chengdu, capital of South-West China's Sichuan Province, around 3:10 pm on 13th May, 2008; epicenter remaining the same. A strong aftershock sparked landslides on Friday, 16th May, 2008; near the epicenter of major earthquake. It measured 5.9 and occurred at 1:25 pm. On 25th May, 2008, another aftershock measuring 6.1 occurred. Olympics venue remained undamaged. Felt Report At least 40,000 people killed and severe damage in the Dujiangyan-Mianzhu-Mianyang area. Landslides blocked roads and buried buildings in the Beichuan-Wenchuan area. Felt (VII) at Chengdu, (VI) at Xi'an and (V) at Chongqing and Lanzhou. Felt in much of central, eastern and southern China, including Beijing, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Wuhan and in Hong Kong. Also felt in parts of Bangladesh, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Power stations were knocked off the grid, disrupting power and water supply. Telephone and communication lines were also disrupted. Mobile communication converters experienced jams and thousands of servers were out-of-service. Sports venues built for the Beijing Olympics were not damaged by the earthquake as they are earthquake proof and no damage was done. There were no visible signs of damage to the massive Three Gorges Dam. Chengdu airport and railway station were closed. School buildings crached down on children and teachers. Tectonic Summary The Sichuan earthquake of May 12, 2008, occurred as the result of motion on a northeast striking reverse fault or thrust fault on the northwestern margin of the Sichuan Basin. The earthquake's epicenter and focal-mechanism are consistent with it having occurred as the result of movement on the Longmenshan fault or a tectonically related fault. The earthquake reflects tectonic stresses resulting from the convergence of crustal material slowly moving from the high Tibetan Plateau, to the west, against strong crust underlying the Sichuan Basin and southeastern China. On a continental scale, the seismicity of central and eastern Asia is a result of northward convergence of the India plate against the Eurasia plate with a velocity of about 50 mm/y. The convergence of the two plates is broadly accommodated by the uplift of the Asian highlands and by the motion of crustal material to the east away from the uplifted Tibetan Plateau. No Precursors of Quake No significant precursory seismic activity was detected that could have allowed the Chinese government to issue a clear warning before the devastating earthquake in the south-western province of Sichuan. That is why, the damages and losses were more. More than 60,000 lives were lost in the quake and its aftershocks. The epicenter was in Wenchuan County, along a well monitored fault in Longman Mountains. We cannot rely with certainty on cloud formations and disturbed animal behaviors to warn people. Pandas Sensed China Quake In the minutes before this massive earthquake shook central China on Monday 12 May, 2008; captive pandas near the epicenter began acting strangely. Pandas which had been Really lazy and just eaten little bit of bamboo and all of a sudden they were parading around their pen. It was not an uncommon phenomenon as animals get nervous when big storms or tsunamis come. Animals such as pandas are " more in tune with their 6th sense." Wild pandas sensed it and moved to higher terrain to be safe. Toads were an omen A street in Mianyang was covered by countless number of small brown Amphibians (toads). Why they behaved abnormally? Animals forewarn like this a climate change or weather change. Mass migrations of toads near the epicenter were an omen of a natural disaster like earthquake. But "Earthquake forecasting remains a puzzle for the world". Astrological discussion It is a well known fact that there must have taken place a Solar or Lunar eclipse within 3 months before or after the earthquake. Solar eclipse occurred on 7th February, 2008 and total Lunar eclipse occurred on 21st February, 2008. Duration of Solar eclipse was 4 hours 33 minutes and Lunar eclipse 3hours 26 minutes. One Solar and one Lunar eclipse are going to occur within coming 3 months of this major earthquake in the month of August. If the duration of the earthquake is long, its effects also come after long duration of its occurrence. Solar eclipse of 7th February was of 4 hours 33 minutes, so this earthquake took place quite a long period after it. Coming solar eclipse is quite away and its duration is also more than 4 hours. Another big earthquake is expected in and around the month of August in and around the countries where this eclipse is visible. Eclipse of 21st February fell in Leo a fixed sign, so it caused its effects after a long time and its effects will be for long periods. Most of the major earthquakes occur within 5 days of full moon or new moon. But this rule is not applicable here. This once occurred on 8th tithi of the Shukla Paksh. The day of aftershocks of the 16th May, does fall within 5 days before full moon. 16th August, 2008 eclipse is also falling in Aquarius, a fixed sign, so it can give rise to long lasting effects. Rahu-Ketu axis fell along cardinal sign Cancer and Moon was at the same degrees conjunct with Ketu. Mars was also conjunct with Ketu and Moon. Mars aspects Libra, a sign depicting China. First house depicts life of people of a country. Leo is the first house in the transit chart in which Saturn, a most malefic planet is located and it is a barren and separating planet. Lagna lord Sun is also malefic. There was great loss to lives of people. More than 60,000 people lost their lives. 12th house depicts deaths. More conjunction along 6-12 axis caused so many deaths. Ketu stands for China; it is in 12th house along Rahu-Ketu axis. Earthquake took place in south-west China, this direction is governed by Rahu, which fell along the cardinal sign where conjunction of planets is there. China and Tibet are ruled by Revati, Ashwini and Bharani constellations. Venus, lord of Libra (China) fell in Bharani Nakshatra whose lord is also Venus, which is placed in 9th house in a fiery sign with a fiery planet. 9th house stands for long distance cables. 3rd house is Libra (China) its lord is also venus in 9th house.3rd house stands for telephones, railway stations, airports and other communications, which were cut due to earthquake. Mars stands for electricity. It was conjunct with Ketu, so there were electric grid failures. Fourth house stands for public buildings, weather conditions like earthquakes, school, colleges and educational institutes. Its lord is placed in 12th house,so there were losses to such places due to earthquake. Sixth house is public health. Rahu in 6th house caused ill health to general public. Eighth house depicts natural calamities like earthquake. Its lord Jupiter was retrograde and placed in a good house causing maleficence to it. Jupiter a benefic planet which is a big natural saver was retrograde, so it could not save lives of people and could not lessen the damages caused due to this disaster. At the time of aftershocks of 13th May and 16th May the ascendant remained the same as on 12th May and it is Leo. Saturn a barren,separating planet remained in lagna.Leo is a fiery,imperfect,barren sign. Due to Saturn Leo's effects were doubled. First house is population. There was loss of so many lives. Leo is such a strong sign that its effects were strong, intensity of the earthquake was so high 7.9 on the Ritcher scale. On 12th May Moon was in Aslesa constellation ruled by Mercury 2nd house lord(a mark house) lord.It was going to be retrograde on 24th May.So doubly malefic placed in 10th house., the work/ outcome of the disaster which was so bad. At the time of aftershocks of 13th May Moon became conjunct with Saturn in 1st house. Moon has changed its constellation. Magha ruled by Ketu a malefic. Magha constellation depicts medical departments. At the time of this aftershock people affected by 12th May quake were being removed to hospitals.On Friday Moon has moved to Virgo sign and to Hasta Nakshatra Which depicts hospitals.Sun changed sign and moved to Krttika Constallation. Which is ruled by Sun,so becoming most malefic. It slowed down the movement of relief materials and workers. There were landslides and more destruction. Intensity was lesser. As Moon has moved away from Rahu-Ketu axis,conjunct with Mars along cardinal sign. There were some other changes taking place in the sky which could have. Affected inside of earth to cause such a disaster. Such as Mercury became retrograde on 26th May. Jupiter became retrograde on 9th May.Sun entered Taurus on 14th May. Sun entered Krittika on 10th May. Venus entered Taurus on 20th May. Rahu entered Capricorn on %th May and Ketu entered Cancer on 5th May.

Q: How to make ActionMode aligned with custom Toolbar I have an activity with new support Toolbar and navigation drawer. The Toolbar relates to the content e.g. list of items. Multiple items can be selected - then ActionMode is shown (Context Action Bar). However the system ActionMode position, size and layout order does not correspond to the Toolbar, which would be appropriate.
Question is: how can I adjust the system ActionMode to correspond to (be aligned with) my Toolbar? Or is there any other recommended alternative? See my cases below
Portrait
NavDrawer may be hidden in side (1-green) - this is OK for both Toolbar and ActionMode.
Both Toolbar and its content are overlapped by the navigation drawer the drawer is opened (2-yellow). However, when ActionMode is active, it is displayed always over the NavDrawer (3-red), but I want it to look like (2-yellow), because the ActionMode is related to the hidden content.
This issue is similar to this question:
How to make the Contextual ActionMode Bar overlay the appcompat-v7 Toolbar but not the navigation drawer?

Tablet/landscape
In landscape the NavDrawer fits next to the toolbar and content (left). The ActionMode always overlays the NavDrawer and Toolbar and has full screen width (right-red). Again I would like the ActionMode to be in the same position as Toolbar is (left-yellow).

A: I solved it by using another Toolbar (actionModeToolbar), which I can put anywhere in layout and show or hide it as appropriate.
I found some useful hints how to use Toolbar here:
https://gist.github.com/gabrielemariotti/ae63392e1c70bc33af8b
Here is how I created ActionMode using Toolbar with legacy ActionMode.Callback. I have used methods similar to system ActionMode for partial compatibility.
Note, that ActionMode.Callback is not required anymore, because system ActionMode is not used and code can be refactored.
class ToolbarActionMode {

    Toolbar actionModeToolbar;
    ActionMode.Callback callback;

    void startActionMode() {
        actionModeToolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override public void onClick(View v) {
                toolbarActionMode.finishActionMode();
            }
        });
        actionModeToolbar.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new Toolbar.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
            @Override public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem menuItem) {
                return callback.onActionItemClicked(null, menuItem);
            }
        });
        // will create menu using inflateMenu(R.menu.menu_res)
        callback.onCreateActionMode(null, null);
        invalidate();
        actionModeToolbar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    }

    void finishActionMode() {
        callback.onDestroyActionMode(null);
        actionModeToolbar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    }

    void invalidate() {
        // will update title + menu
        callback.onPrepareActionMode(null, actionModeToolbar.getMenu());
    }

    void setTitle(CharSequence title) {
        actionModeToolbar.setTitle(title);
    }

    void inflateMenu(int menuRes) {
        actionModeToolbar.inflateMenu(menuRes);
    }
}


The Lucan Festival 2010 Poetry and Prose Reading was held at 7.00pm at the on Wednesday 22nd Sept at the Festival's art exhibition at the Douglas Newman Good offices in Lucan Village. Writers Lucan joined writers from the Seven Towers Agency to give a varied and entertaining night.
bizarre names of Chinese takeaways and a dark suburban poem entitled 'Quiet'. Ross Hattaway read from his book 'The Gentle Art of Rotting' and also some pieces he is fashioning towards his next collection 'Pretending to be Dead' (2012). Alma Brayen read from her recently published book 'Prism' and then it was time for another local writer Triona Walsh who gave us a 'local' poem: The Weir Tea Rooms and also a poem dedicated to her daughter. Then it was over Oran Ryan from Seven Towers who surprised us with his' Polar Bear for Sale' and 'Dinner with Dr Mengele', both startlingly original pieces.
As for myself, I did MC and started things off with a poem that dates back to my fist days living in Hillcrest in Lucan (1976!) entitled 'Early Dispatches' and which you can read in my poetry blog in the 'poetry' category.
It was a great evening and a terrific mixture of talent from Lucan and further afield. And a big Thank You to Niamh Bagnell for coralling all the Lucan scribes and herdng down to the fesival reading. And Thank So Much to the Seven Towers Agency for ferrying out to Lucan all that talent! Very much appreciated.
Thanks Eamonn, you were a great host! Enjoyed your poems too, especially the early years in Hillcrest one.

Q: Remove special character from input form at checkout? I'm trying to remove a dash ('-') from an input field (Zip Code) at checkout, but can get it to work. I want to clean just the initial character if a user enters the dash at the beginning of the zip to remove it; so, from this -98001 to this 98001. I've tried to do it at the shipping validator JS and it works but of course when the order gets placed the character still comes in the order.
And, here's what I've tried, which works at the frontend, but need it work when it gets posted to the database:
postcodeValidation: function (postcodeElement) {
    var countryId = $('select[name="country_id"]:visible').val(),
    validationResult,
    warnMessage,
    char = "-";

        if (postcodeElement == null || postcodeElement.value() == null) {
            return true;
        }

        postcodeElement.warn(null);
        validationResult = postcodeValidator.validate(postcodeElement.value(),
        countryId);

        if (!validationResult) {
            warnMessage = $t('Provided Zip/Postal Code seems to be invalid.');

            if (postcodeValidator.validatedPostCodeExample.length) {
                warnMessage += $t(' Example: ') +
            postcodeValidator.validatedPostCodeExample.join('; ') + '. ';
            }
            warnMessage += $t('If you believe it is the right one you can ignore this
            notice.');
            postcodeElement.warn(warnMessage);

            // ****** This works an it cleans the dash but only at the frontend ******

            if (postcodeElement.value().startsWith(char)) {
            postcodeElement.value().replace(/^-/, "");

            // ***********************************************************************
         }
     }
return validationResult;
}

How could I achieve the same, so when the zip code gets posted it goes from this -98001 to this 98001 in the database? Any suggestions are appreciated!!

A: Try this for your postcode field:
Postcode: <input type="text" id="myText">

Click the button to change the value of the text field.

Just change the id from postcode id. Overwrite a phtml file for onepage checkout and use the code.

LaCarte, King team up to bring Stoney's beer back to family roots
Two Mon Valley businessmen are helping Stoney's Beer return to its Smithton family roots.
In a press release issued Wednesday by Stoney's, the company announced that Jon King, great-grandson of William Benjamin "Stoney" Jones, in partnership with John LaCarte, president of LaCarte Enterprises based in Charleroi, have formed Stoney's Brewing Co. They have acquired the trademarks and licenses to brew and sell Stoney's Premium and Stoney's Light Beer from Jones Brewing Co.
From 1988 to this year, Gabby and Sandy Podlucky owned Jones Brewing.
The acquisition became effective March 31. A new website was to launch Thursday.
According to the press release, the LaCarte and King/Jones family histories have long been intertwined in Smithton.
When King mentioned to LaCarte that he was interested in buying back the brewery, LaCarte jumped at the opportunity.
"This is more than a business. Stoney's has always been an important part of both our families. The connection with both our families goes back four generations," said LaCarte, who is chief executive officer of the brewing company.
LaCarte is also president of LaCarte Enterprises Inc. and LaCarte Development Co., having built a successful group of companies, including Model Cleaners, the region's largest family-owned dry cleaning operation. It also operates a similar-sized dry cleaning business in Northeastern Ohio., as well as a uniform rental division and a Model Apparel division. King, who is president of the Stoney's, grew up as part of the Stoney's business, spending summers during high school and college working different jobs around the brewery.
After a 30-year career in finance, he decided to act on a dream he'd had since 1988, resurrecting Jones Brewing with Jones family members at the helm.
John LaCarte's great-grandfather, Joseph Ferrando, hauled kegs of beer for "Stoney" Jones, using horses and wagons from his livery business. LaCarte's great uncle went to work at Jones Brewery in the 1930s to support the family after his father's death and LaCarte's grandmother, Emma, baby-sat actress Shirley Jones when she was a child growing up in Smithton.
The families intertwined again through a banking relationship between King and LaCarte, which led to a conversation over lunch about partnering to buy Jones Brewing.
The new Stoney Brewing ownership group also brings King's brother, Greg King, as brewmaster, a role he had held under the previous owners.
Stoney's is brewed at CHC Latrobe, previously The Latrobe Brewing Co., which the new owners said allows the brand to stay true to its roots and history of local brewing.

A Hold sötét oldala kifejezés a Hold éppen Nap által meg nem világított, árnyékos, árnyékba borult oldalát jelenti.

Azonban a közbeszédben gyakran – hibás szóhasználattal – a Hold Földről sosem látható túloldalát, túlsó oldalát értik alatta. Bonyolítja a kérdést, hogy erre korábban használták (és szórványosan ma is használják) a Hold ismeretlen oldala kifejezést is, holott 1959. október 7-én a szovjet Luna–3 fényképet készített a Hold addig valóban ismeretlen túlsó oldaláról, amit sikeresen továbbított a Földre. Azóta pedig már részletgazdag fotók és részletes térképek is rendelkezésre állnak róla.

Más nyelvekben használt közeli illetve távoli oldal kifejezések a magyar nyelvben nem honosodtak meg.

Ennek a pontatlanságnak, kétértelműségének a beidegződésen és a csillagászati ismeretek hiányosságain, vagy inkább alkalmi átgondolatlanságán túl magyarázata lehet, hogy a "sötét" kifejezés a magyar nyelvben, de más nyelvekben is az ismeretlen szinonimája (pl. a "sötét ló" – eredetileg a lóversenyen induló, ismeretlen képességű, teljesítményű versenyló. Innen átvitt értelemben általánosítva: "ismeretlen tényező"). Továbbá hogy a Hold valójában szokatlan un. kötött pályán végzi keringését, amelynek során mindig ugyanaz a fele látszik a Földről nézve. Illetve hogy teliholdnál illetve általában a Hold megvilágított részén nem látható optikai jele a görbületnek: szabadszemmel a világos felület a szabálytalan sötétebb foltokkal együtt is síknak tűnik ("Holdkorong").

Zavaró lehet továbbá az is, hogy holdtölte időszakában a két kifejezés időlegesen tény szerint fedi egymást, ennek ellenére a  keverésük ekkor is fogalmi pontatlanságnak, hibás szóhasználatnak tekinthető.

Sok esetben viszont a szövegkörnyezetből sem derül ki egyértelműen, legfeljebb valószínűsíthető, mire gondol az író, elbeszélő.

A kifejezés körüli zavar úgy tűnik, nem csak a magyar nyelvben hanem más nyelvterületeken is létezik. Pl. a  Pink Floyd 1973-ban megjelent The Dark Side of the Moon című albuma (munkacíme Eclipse: A Piece for Assorted Lunatics volt.) benne a Eclipse című számban is inkább a Hold túlsó oldalát mint árnyékban lévő oldalát jelentené. Illetve keveredik a holdfogyatkozás és napfogyatkozás kérdésével is.

A dal legvégén prózában elhangzó "There is no dark side in the moon really / Matter of fact it's all dark" az Abbey Road Studios portása, Gerry O'Driscoll megjegyzése volt az új album címével kapcsolatban ("A Holdnak nincs is sötét oldala… ott mindenhol sötét van").

Története

Érdekes módon úgy tűnik, az ókorban még általános volt az az elképzelés, hogy a Hold földről nem látható oldala állandóan sötétségben van, és a különféle holdfázisok csak a Föld felőli oldalán láthatók. Illetve hogy az egyes holdfázisoknál látható alakzatok a Hold önállóan kibocsájtott fénye. Tehát nem voltak a tudatában, hogy az égen egy gömb alakú égitest látható, amelyet a Nap világít meg különböző szögekből, és ez látható holdfázisokként. Legalábbis ez olvasható ki abból, hogy ennek a felismerését Démokritoszhoz kötik. Valamivel több mint egy évszázaddal korábban Anaximandrosz még egészen fantasztikus ötlettel állt elő a csillagok és más égitestekkel kapcsolatosan, mely szerint ezek különböző átmérőjű és különböző periódussal záródó, felnyíló csövek az ég boltozatán, amelyeken keresztül az égi tűz látszik. Eszerint a Hold, az egy holdhónap alatt nyíló-záródó cső a leggyorsabb ezek közül.

A Halálos hírszerzés (angol dokumentumfilm sorozat, 2018) 5. Jack Parsons amerikai rakétatudósról szóló rész szerint a róla elnevezett kráter találóan a Hold sötét oldalán található. Ezzel arra utalnak, hogy Jack Parsons okkultista, sőt sátánista volt, és hogy a róla elnevezett kráter állandóan sötétben lenne. Vagyis még ismeretterjesztő műsorokban is megjelenik az a korábbi téves, átgondolatlanságra visszavezethető nézet, miszerint a Hold túlsó oldala állandóan sötétségben van, és a különféle holdfázisok csak a Föld felől látható oldalán láthatók.

Szofja Kovalevszkaja a híres matematikus életét feldolgozó Berget på månens baksida  (~Hegy a Hold túlsó oldalán) című 1983-as svéd filmdráma angol nyelvű nemzetközi címe A Hill on the Dark Side of the Moon.

A Transformers 3. című amerikai sci-fiben teljes a zűrzavar legalábbis a magyar szinkron szerint.

Az Iron Sky: Támad a Hold (Iron Sky) című 2012-es ausztrál–német–finn sci-fiben a Hold túlsó oldal helyett szintén a Hold árnyékos oldaláról beszélnek.

Megjegyzendő, hogy Holdfogyatkozás idején sem borul mindig teljesen sötétbe a Holdfelszín egésze, mert a Föld felőli rész kap némi megvilágítást a Föld légkörén megtört napfény által. Emiatt a Hold ekkor halványabb vöröses fényűnek látszik.

Ezzel ellentétben újholdkor, napfogyatkozásnál viszont a Hold mindig is ismert oldala borul teljes sötétségbe. Ekkor ezt a felületet csupán a Földről visszavert csekély fény világítja meg minimális mértékben.

Holdsarló - félhold

Érdekes és régi Holddal kapcsolatos további pontatlanság a félhold és holdsarló keverése. (Félhold helyesen csak a fogyó vagy növekvő, félkör alakot felvevő holdfázisa.) Ráadásul ez a pontatlanság hivatalos elnevezésekben is megjelenik: Vörös Félhold (a Nemzetközi Vöröskereszt iszlám országokban működő tagszervezetei).

Megjegyzendő, hogy a félhold vonalán túlnyúló csúcsok téves ábrázolások. Ez a Vénusz esetében a légkör meglétének első bizonyítéka volt.

Földfelkelte

A Hold kötött pályájának egyik érdekes következménye, hogy a Hold felszínéről nézve Föld az égboltnak mindig ugyanazon a pontján látszik, és csak a fázisai változnak az idő múlásával ciklikusan. Ha valaki a Holdnak azon a pontján állna, amely a Földről nézve a "holdkorong" középpontja, ott a Föld az égbolt zenitjén látszik. Valahol a "holdkorong" szélén állva viszont a Föld félig a látóhatár felett kiemelkedve látszana.

Földfelkelte tehát csak a Hold körül keringő űrhajón, a túlsó oldal felől érkezve figyelhető meg. (A Hold felszínén egyelőre nem képzelhető el ilyen gyors és hosszú utazás.)

Samsung made their new Exynos 5 Octa mobile processor official last night as the 5420. The new chipset is still an eight-core ARM Cortex-based processor, though this time they swapped out the PowerVR SGX 544MP3 GPU for an ARM-based Mali-T628, which Samsung claims produces "two times greater" graphics performance over the previous Octa (5410).
So in terms of it being "Octa," we're still looking at four Cortex A15 cores and another four Cortex A7 cores, which ARM refers to as big.LITTLE. The A15s are clocked at 1.8GHz for the heavy lifting, while the A7s are clocked at 1.3GHz. The CPU performance has been improved by some 20% in this new chipset.
The new Exynos 5 Octa is currently sampling and will be ready for mass production in August. Galaxy Note 3, anyone?
SEOUL, South Korea, Jul 22, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced semiconductor solutions, today introduced the latest addition to the Exynos product family with top level of graphic performance driven by a six-core ARM(R) Mali(TM)-T628 GPU processor for the first time in the industry. With mobile use case scenarios becoming increasingly complex, Samsung's newest eight-core ARM Cortex(TM)-based application processor gives designers a powerful, energy efficient tool to build multifaceted user interface capabilities directly into the system architecture. Samsung will demonstrate the new Exynos 5 family at SIGGRAPH 2013 in the ARM booth, #357; Exhibit Hall C at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Samsung's new Exynos 5 Octa (product code:Exynos 5420), based on ARM Mali(TM)-T628 MP6 cores, boosts 3D graphic processing capabilities that are over two times greater than the Exynos 5 Octa predecessor. The newest member of the Exynos family is able to perform General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU) accelerating complex and computationally intensive algorithms or operations, traditionally processed by the CPU. This product also supports OpenGL(R) ES 3.0 and Full Profile Open CL 1.1, which enables the horsepower needed in multi-layer rendering of high-end, complex gaming scenarios, post-processing and sharing of photos and video, as well as general high-function multi-tasking operations.
The newest Exynos processor is powered by four ARM Cortex(R)-A15(TM) processors at 1.8GHz with four additional Cortex-A7(TM)cores at 1.3 GHz in a big.LITTLE processing implementation. This improves the CPU processing capability by 20 percent over the predecessor by optimizing the power-saving design.
In addition, the multiple image compression (MIC) IP block inside this System-on-Chip successfully lowers the total system power when bringing pictures or multimedia from memory to display panel. This feature results in maximizing the usage hours of mobile devices with a high-resolution display such as WQXGA (2500×1600), in particular when browsing the web or doing multimedia application requiring the frequent screen refresh.
The new family of Exynos 5 Octa is currently sampling to customers and is scheduled for mass-production in August.

EIAA Auction
Fish Show
IAA has an interesting history with ties to the roots of AGA, Aquatic Gardener's Association. Who knew?
The history of EIAA begins in September 1982 at the community center in the Bali Hai Estates trailer park in Hiawatha Iowa. Present were Bruce Mostrom, Dick Van Hyfte, Lee Van Hyfte (about 9 yr. old), Greg Goodnow, Steve Rutan, Phyllis Wetherbee, Irne VandeLune and Dick Green. This was the formation team. Bruce Mostrom is credited with being the founding father of EIAA. By 1984 the organization us up and having regular meetings in a basement community room at People's Bank on First Avenue and 35th street NE in Cedar Rapids, Iowa where they met for year, the second Tuesday of the month at 7 pm.
Because of his affiliation with FAAS and a previous background in aquarium club structures from Blackhawk Aquarium Society, Dick Van Hyfte drafted the first EIAA Constitution, Bylaws and BAP (breeder's Award Program). As a response to a lack of information about aquatic plants, Dick also drafted the EIAA's Horticultural Award Program (HAP) which he sent to FAAS as an example program. The American Aquatic Gardeners Association (AAGA) was formed by the committee of Mark Carder, Dennis Sindelar and Dick Van Hyftee, also in an attempt to fill the gap in plant information in the aquarium hobby. Years later the AAGA would morph into the AGA which is recognized internationally today as THE society devoted to the promotion of live plants in the aquarium hobby.

Do you know what it is like to have no net-book? I do, and I never want to turn back.
In the olden days (last year), we use to use pencil and paper, and that made school, a bit boring. I would never want to go back to that. Last year all classes had to write in a book which was horrible, because, when we wrote a really awesome story, we didn't get a chance to put it on our blog and show it to the world. It's kind of like training for a sports match and train and train, but don't get a game, who wants to do that? But with the net-books we can write a story and put it straight on our blog.
Ever since we have had our net-books, it has made my learning better, HEAPS BETTER!! They have made school better and have made me actually want to come to school now. I have been learning lots on the net-books in lots of fun ways like maths whizz, Thesaurus.com, Dictionary.com and a whole lot more of exciting sites. Another way the net-books have been a help is that, instead of going to our teacher to find out what we are going to do next, we get to go on Google Sites, which is easier for us, and a whole lot easier for the teachers too.
But still there are some problems that we have, and we think there can be improvements. One of them is our drawing system. We use Tux Paint, but, our drawing is not as good as what we do on the iMacs. The Tux Paint system almost makes our work look like a 6 year old did it. There is one last problem; the Internet connection is not fast enough. It is a bit slow and sometimes, on other peoples net-books, their Internet keeps on going on and off and on and off. That's about it.
I can hardly imagine what it would be like without a netbook.
Room 17 got a task to draw three perspectives of four superheroes and make a pretend trailer using the pictures we drew (we didn't actually make a movie after we made the trailer). We used lots of applications on the iMac like Hyperstudio, Comic Life, iMovie 11 and lots more. In my trailer I used the superheroes Captain America, Wolverine, Dead Pool and the ALMIGHTY THOR.
Captain America comes from earth and was skinny but was made in a machine to be more stronger. I think that Captain America has no weakness, I reckon that he is strong without and with the shield. Dead Pool's strength is a thing that he has called a Accelerate Healing Factor and without that he can die in one shot of a bullet.
Wolverine has the the same thing as Dead Pool and has a thing called a healing factor, that regenerates damaged or destroyed tissues of his body far beyond the capabilities of an ordinary human. Thor has both a weakness and a strength. His strength is when he has the hammer and without the hammer he is pretty much nothing.
This is my trailer and I hope you like it.
Do you know what comets are made of? They are made from Ice cream cones, Ice cream and crushed biscuites.....NAH I am just joking. Comets are actually made from, real ice, dust, rocks, and lots of gas. As comets get closer to the sun, they start to melt, and melt, and melt untill it is all gone. Kind of like how it was when we made ICE CREAM COMETS.
I was so excited. When I first walked into the class, I was wondering what Room 16 were doing in here. "Aye, not to be rude but, why are they here for?" I asked. By the time I sat down, I saw Ice cream on the Teachers table, icecream cones, buscuites and sprinkles. It was like heaven. I didn't know what we were doing. As I was sitting down, me and my mate over heard people saying Ice Cream comets and then it all started to make sense. Ice Cream for the ice, Crushed biscuites for the dust and rocks and the Ice Cream Cone for the tale. Everyone had wild excitments. I had a impaient stomach.
We started of by, our teachers Miss. Garden and Mr. Somerville putting buscuites into a plastic bag and giving it to students to bashed for the dust. There was supposed to be big and small pieces but our students dominated the biscuites into little tiny pieces (I really wanted a turn). The real purpise for this was to see what a comet is like, but we all were just here to eat. You could even see it. Miss Garden gave us a scoop of Ice Cream and we had to put it in our hands. Thats why we needed to wash our hands really clean at first. Man it was ice cold. After that we had to get a bit of crushed biscuites and a Ice Cream Cone. It was Delicious. I was Scavenging for more.
By the time we all finished our ice creams, our courtyard was all MESSY! Our class cleaned that place and our class specially for this day and at the end, it was just to messy. Some people droped theirs so that was a real pain. Their was alot, and I mean alot of crushed biscuites on the ground beacause of them. Man you should of seen my face when even and also my hands were a sticky mess. The courtyard was more like a junk yard at the end.
At the end of the day, we all had fun. I really really hope we can do that again.
This week on Monday, we got duffy books from the Bucklands Beach Lion Club. We do this every once a year, and we get two each. We get these books for free because kind people from The Bucklands Beach Lions Club hold fund rasisers to give us these special gifts.
We need to look after these books like a treasure. We had had a special guest that used to be on Shortland Street and her name was Alison Quigon (Yvonne Jeffries)his is only one of the books that I got and it is called Spartucus and his Glorius Gladiators.
A big special thanks to The Bucklands Beach Lion Club who gave us these books. Click on this Bucklands Beach Lion Club and it will take you to there web site.
This is my story web about a book we read called Amazing Stickers.
In me and my partners team design we have put in a new drinking fountain. We have put that in because our old one is too small for us and our backs get sore. I need to contact Mr. Jacobson or Mr. Malloy to ask if they know any people to build drinking fountains because I can't any cheap prices for drinking fountains.
We have also put smooth concrete in our team design. My partner put that in because he thought that it would be better then the rough ground. I am also thinking of covering the grass outside our class room with the smooth ground. My dad can do it and a little help from Mr. Malloy would be great. All we need now is some cement and we are all sorted.
My partner decided to add a new deck to the steps. He thought that it would be good for hanging out if anything gets bored. My partner couldn't find any prices until he heard that you had to hire a builder to build or you could DIY.
The year 5 and 6 extension group put together a movie for the I AM MAKING MOVIES 2 compition and this movie was on a category called Bravery, Heartbreak, Loss and Hope. This is about brave men who had to leave there families leaving the women to do everything without them.HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!!!

"Wake up now son, get ready now" my dad said to me. It was not a normal morning, on Thursday morning. I struck out of bed excited to go to Wellington. It was my first time for me to go Wellington so I was really really excited to go today, and to make it even better, I got to go with my mates.
First we got to go to the Koru Lounge in Auckland. I am not sure if it was the Koru Lounge because we went in our own private room which was even better. We went in to see biscuits muffins and a big jug of orange juice. That was like my breakfast because I didn't have any in the morning so I had two shortbread cookies and two cups of juice, it was nice.
This might not seem right but these are two introductions that I wrote in my class, and I need you to tell me which one is better so I can use it in my story I am going to write about my easter holiday. The first one starts straight away on the action and the second introduction is telling you about my thoughts or feelings.
"WOOO HOOO" I said, as I came speeding down the slide with my cousin. I was at the Waiwera Pools for my 2011 Family Reunion. We had to do things like perform items, play games, and we had lots of food, which was probably the best part for me.
I had seen lots of pictures of Waiwera Pools and it looks very cool, the thing was, is that I knew that nearly everybody in my family has been there, but me. We went there for our 2011 Family Reunion which was exciting for me.... and well every one else in my family.

Six powerful real-life examples of collaboration
By Ramya Sriram on	 January 9, 2017 Collaboration
Watson and Crick. Marie and Pierre Curie. The Wright Brothers. Proctor and Gamble. Larry Page and Sergey Brin. The list is never-ending. These are some real-life examples of collaboration that have made history. Innumerable inventions, discoveries and innovations have been made because of the combined effort and ideas of two or more people working together. Let's examine some of the most striking collaborations that we know of today.
1. Hardy-Ramanujan
Perhaps one of the most well-known real-life examples of collaboration is that of Srinivasan Ramanujan and G. H. Hardy. Ramanujan was a shipping clerk and self-taught mathematician in Madras, India. In 1913, eager for recognition, he decided to write to professors at Cambridge University, UK with his theorems. Among those he contacted was G. H. Hardy, who was so impressed with Ramanujan's work that he arranged for him to be sent to Cambridge University, where he worked. Hardy remained Ramanujan's mentor for many years. The story also goes that once, while visiting Hardy in London, Ramanujan told him that his taxi number was 'rather dull'. Upon hearing that the number was 1729, Hardy immediately said that it was a very interesting number – the smallest number expressible as the sum of two positive cubes in two different ways. This gained popularity as the 'taxicab number' in mathematician circles. Many years later, Ramanajuan's work on Fermat's last theorem and elliptical curves was discovered, which now finds applications in cryptology and Internet security.
2. Einstein and Marcell Grossman
Take one of the greatest geniuses in history, Albert Einstein. Little do we know that he was no lone genius – he collaborated with two of his fellow students at ETH Zurich, Marcel Grossmann and Michele Besso. Discussions among the three helped Einstein derive the special theory of relativity. It's told that Einstein once told Grossman, "You must help me, or else I'll go crazy." Grossman was a gifted mathematician, whose notes helped Einstein greatly. Both of them published a joint paper in 1913 known as the ' "Outline of a Generalized Theory of Relativity and of a Theory of Gravitation". The Einstein-Grossman theory was a precursor version to the final theory of general relativity.
3. Watson, Crick, Wilkins and Franklin
The double helix structure of DNA was discovered thanks to the combined effort of four people James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Williams and Rosalind Franklin. Watson and Crick met at the Cavendish laboratory (Cambridge University) in 1951, where they began to study the structure of DNA together. Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Williams obtained high-resolution photographs of DNA through X-ray crystallography at King's College London. This data was used by Watson and Crick in their own research. That Franklin did not get the credit she deserved is a topic much debated about, but nonetheless, all of them contributed to this breakthrough discovery.
4. Swami Vivekananda and Nikola Tesla
One of the more unusual collaborations was between the spiritual leader Swami Vivekananda and scientist Nikola Tesla, which brought modern science and the ancient philosophy of Vedanta closer. Tesla met Vivekananda in the late 1800s. Swami Vivekananda hoped that Tesla would be able to prove scientifically that matter is just potential energy, which is one of the aspects explained in Vedic cosmology. While Vivekandanda used the terms force and matter for Prana and Akasha, Tesla understood them as energy and mass. He understood that when mass increases, speed must increase. However, he was unable to map the equation between energy and mass (which Einstein found later on). But it is remarkable that two different minds from different continents and backgrounds could work together and find a connection that might have led to a fundamental understanding of how the universe works.
5. Procter and Gamble
One of the world's largest FMCG groups that make everything from batteries to shampoo was founded by two brothers-in-law. William Procter was a candlemaker from England and James Gamble was a soapmaker from Ireland. Both of them moved to Cincinnati in USA, where they met and went on to marry the Norris sisters. It was their father-in-law who persuaded them to become business partners. The company, during its initial years, manufactured soap in a big way. Since they sponsored many radio programmes back in the day, the programs came to be known as 'soap operas'! P & G is a great example of a company that was formed through collaboration between two individuals, with only two products at first. Eventually, they diversified into a wide range of products being sold worldwide, and now P & G is a household name.
6. The Genographic Project
The Genographic Project is a collaboration between National Geographic and IBM and the Waitt Foundation. It aims to collect DNA samples from indigenous populations across the world, analyse them to map their ancestry, and therefore understand human migration patterns. The project allows individuals from different countries to send in a DNA sample, and in return, gain insights into their lineage. Over 140 countries are currently participating in this research, taking the meaning of global collaboration to an entirely new level!
From the above real-life examples of collaboration, we see that partnership helps in a myriad ways – it births novel ideas, it helps bring a complementary skills and knowledge to the table, it gives rise to breakthroughs that may not be possible otherwise.
At Kolabtree itself, we witness collaborations across organisations and institutions on a daily basis, breaking geographical barriers. We believe in democratizing science and research for the benefit of academia, businesses and the world at large! If Einstein could do it, so can you.
