The Ocean called Microsoft
I was fortunate enough to visit Microsoft's Redmond Headquarters during my stay in Seattle. The campus spans over 8 million square feet, providing an office space of 30,000 – 40,000 . Here's an aerial view of the campus at One Microsoft Way, Redmond.
But that's not why I term Microsoft as an ocean though the campus suggests the same. I felt that the influence and presence of Microsoft has been overlooked in this smartphone era. I, like many others, have been under a misconception that Microsoft is that company which couldn't cope up with the post PC era, i.e. the smartphone era because of its distant third place in the phone market after Android and iOS. Steve Ballmer had been and probably is still being blamed for not tapping the budding phone market under his regime. But the smartphone era isn't going to remain for eternity and the world as we know will move on to another era. The reality: Microsoft has seen the future. This article brings to light why Microsoft is bigger than we think and doesn't belittle any other company as such.
What is Microsoft?
Microsoft is broadly categorized into these three divisions:
Entertainment & Devices
SharePoint is a software that many companies use as a collaboration tool for projects, discussions and has been a solution for years now. I think alumni students working for different companies would agree on that. Windows is a household name in personal machines. Microsoft's Customer Feedback and Support is leagues ahead of its counterparts. Office has had no competitor for decades and if there is any which can beat Office in its game, it's going to be a future version of Office.
Xbox, on the other hand, is a one stop for all entertainment needs like TV, Music, and gaming. Xbox is the only close competitor to Sony in gaming units sales and has done really well with the Xbox One. Now you can design and customize your Xbox controllers yourself here. I tried it and must say it's pretty cool!
Microsoft's Cloud Services are a $4.5 billion in revenues as of 2014, and were very close to Amazon, the leader in cloud business. For those of you who are unaware of cloud , it's a solution for every enterprise on the internet where the dirty work from buying service space to network administration and monitoring is done by someone(Azure) and you just have to use these services and deploy your application. The Azure connectivity is simple, fast and efficient and is useful only if you have an azure subscription that is.
Cloud is not the next big thing, it's the big thing right now!
Why not Microsoft?
Lately, I've been doing some Microsoft Virtual Academy courses after the final semester and I've realized that no other tech giant invests as much in online courses as Microsoft does. I urge tech enthusiast readers to check it out. The Universal App which is called the "Code once, Run anywhere" is a very unconstrained solution to every developer. The Visual Studio Community Edition is free and has all packages that any developer needs.
Apart from the app scarcity, which is the biggest drawback, in Windows Store, there is really no other reason why Windows phones aren't any better. For starters, the battery doesn't drain out as any typical android phone. The apps one needs for daily usage exist and are of the same quality as one would find in other platforms as the giant third party publishers exist in all three platforms except a few like Snapchat(That's a downside now). The metro tiles gives the android widget feel and iOS styled static notification appearance. For some the tiles are cumbersome, but we all want to upgrade to Windows 10 and that suggests some contradiction when it comes to Windows on phones. Why open Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn for notifications when you can view them all in People metro tile, smarter and battery saver.
Note that the above reason doesn't hold good for Surface Tablet. It's a lost cause when compared to iPads and Android Tabs. PC on a smaller screen with Store apps isn't exactly a tablet defining product. But Surface 3D is a very promising project in a futuristic sense with 3D games and directions and it's not to be confused with Virtual Reality games.
The versatility of its ventures and the market presence in almost every vertical is the main reason why it is the most influential Multi National Corporations in the world. As of June 2016, there are 1,14,000 employees under its umbrella. The revenue as of previous fiscal year, 2015, is $93.6 billion and it has a total asset value double that amount. There are over one billion devices running Windows Operating Systems. This article only covers major wings which have global influence and there's a lot more to Microsoft than that's disclosed.

Each person does see the world in a different way. There is not a single, unifying, objective truth. We're all limited by our perspective. - Siri Hustvedt Perspective. It is a beautiful thing in a way that, all of us... Continue Reading →


Few who have seen the movie The Return of the King will have forgotten Denethor's flaming leap to death from the precipice high above Gondor, following his rant of despair.
In the book, Tolkien explains through Gandalf the Grey that Denethor's madness has come from a palantir, a Seeing Stone that allowed Denethor to see events far off.
In Tolkien's story the great might of Mordor comes from Sauron, the Dark Lord. In our story, the true story told in the Bible (though seldom in church), the great might of Mordor comes from Satan, the Prince of this world, the Prince the Power of the Air.
Radio, TV, the internet, these are our palantir.
As Sauron sought successfully to control what Denethor saw from afar; so Satan is today seeking to control what we see and hear from afar.
It is no accident that the Bible calls Satan the Prince of the Power of the Air. For the power of the air today is modern communication. Satan, the prince of the power of the air, is the prince, the guiding force, of modern mass communication. His goal is deception; if possible to feed the despair of our hearts until it overthrows our minds; ever to project a false reality.
The mainstream media (MSM) has today become an instrument of Satan. In addition to the traditional print media and news networks, I include in the MSM Google, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter who are actively, though selectively, censoring conservatives and puffing liberals.
It is not surprising that the most successful media giants are de facto in league with the prince of this world. As Jesus said "… the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." [Luke 16:8] (Sorry, but there it is) That is how they came to be giants.
In The Return of the King a strong person, by an act of will, could use a palantir to see more than was being revealed by the enemy. We must be strong people who use our palantir to see more than the enemy would have us see. If you are reading this article, you are already doing so. Continue. (I have found the internet site Infowars to be most informative – not impeccable, informative). We must use Google to fight Google.
Through news and entertainment the MSM is serving-up delusion and distraction while world history is building to a conclusion and Satan is putting forth his power. The broadcast has become a spellcast.
Indeed, it is clear that a blindness has overtaken the general populace supporting Hillary Clinton, and Obama. I can find no explanation for this blindness other than a demonic spell. They are blind as blind can be, no longer within the reach of any normal means of human communication.
Under this spell, people not entranced by the manufactured news are being bemused and despoiled by the "entertainment" programs of the MSM.
This spell, being cast by Satan in part through the media, is possible only as a consequence of us having pushed God out of virtually everything public. You cannot have a spiritual vacuum. Remove God, and Satan in one guise or another comes rushing in. This is how you spell America.
Our job is to remain unenchanted. When you hear "Donald Trump is going to drop out of the campaign for President," don't automatically believe it.
When you see a discouraging poll, don't automatically believe it.
When you hear "Islam is a religion of peace," know that it is not.
When you hear "The motivation of the Muslim terrorist is unclear," know that it is not.
When the truth is maddening ("Hillary is guilty, but we are not going to prosecute her.") don't lose heart. Our enemies have protected their own only at the cost of their own exposure, and that of the Power behind them.
The MSM is unavoidable, believing it is not. Seek out the truth. Speak out the truth. For with the truth lies the hope of survival of our nation.

Unheard Voices: Invisible by Night (detail, video still), 2004
While thousands swarmed to Melbourne's Federation Square for mass karaoke sessions over the course of this year's Melbourne International Arts Festival (see p38), a darker and altogether more sombre sort of interaction beckoned just metres away. As rapt members of the public momentarily lost themselves belting out I Will Survive, invoking the kind of heightened, escapist fantasy that only comes with karaoke, every evening Lynette Wallworth's installation Unheard Voices: Invisible by Night quietly called passers-by to engage with the night in a very different way.
Installed in a rhomboid screen on one side of the Melbourne Visitor's Centre, an angular, diminutive fragment of a building located on an outer corner of Federation Square, Unheard Voices was so modest in scale as to pass almost unnoticed by the pedestrian traffic. Closer inspection, however, revealed the mist-shrouded spectre of a female figure pacing back and forth, repeatedly approaching and then moving away from the foreground. When the viewer touched a small hand-shaped imprint on the screen, the figure again approached. But instead of turning away, she began to wipe away the mist which obscured the on-screen imagery. Slowly, she cleared a small area, partially revealing her face, looking mournfully out at the viewer before moving away, ending the silent encounter and returning the image to its hazy, ghostlike state.
Unheard Voices was inspired by the Federation Square site and its history as the location of Melbourne's city morgue between 1871 and 1888, as well as its original function as a pre-colonisation meeting place for the Boonerwrung people. As Wallworth notes in her artist's statement: "The sense that a site contains emanations of these complex layers, both pre and post colonisation is what intrigued me and the fact that, on this site, it should be linked with a sense of grieving seemed entirely appropriate."
In a festival which took on the theme of 'Voice' and operated in an often celebratory mode, Unheard Voices staked an overt claim for the power of silence, its metaphorical equivalence with repressed or buried histories, and the importance of remembering, engaging, and grieving for the past.
From the haunting, restrained performance of Ivanka Sokol as the ghostly woman, providing an emotional resonance beyond the diminutive scale of the installation, to the intimate, gentle interface Wallworth developed with Daniel Horwood, Unheard Voices overcame its weighty, potentially didactic proposition to create a subtle, understated work. The open-ended nature of the encounter left ample space for viewers to locate themselves within the work as participants, thereby aligning the social and historical with the personal.
Meanwhile, on the eastern edge of Melbourne's CBD, a similarly gothic work was playing out in a public facility of a different kind: the ladies' toilet adjacent to Parliament Station. The Gordon Assumption was a collaborative installation by David Chesworth and Sonia Leber which utilised fragments of 'found' voices, decontextualising and reconfiguring them into something altogether striking and astounding. Like Unheard Voices, the installation operated under the cover of night when the public lavatory is usually closed. In contrast to Wallworth's installation, The Gordon Assumption was anything but quiet and understated. Edited into a startlingly loud siren-like barrage, a multitude of voices were fragmented and spliced together with occasional brief choral interjections to create a continuous, modulating stream of sound. Rising and falling in pitch, the otherworldly wails tore out of the underground public conveniences creating a distorted, cacophonous soundscape which resounded through the Parliament Station precinct.
A dense catalogue essay attempted to contextualise The Gordon Assumption in terms of the Biblical Assumption of the Virgin Mary and other literary and theological sources. But the impact of the work was much more visceral, creating a rupture in the familiar, background noise of the city through a powerful sense of the spiritual and the uncanny, startling and fascinating commuters and passers-by. If anyone was game enough to brave descending the stairs the volume increased, and through the locked gate the facility was bathed in an eerie green light with a single bar of white light continually scanning its surfaces.
Like Unheard Voices, The Gordon Assumption powerfully suggested the return of the repressed, albeit in a less literal manner. Both works were deftly woven into the fabric of everyday Melbourne, disrupting the easy flow of city routine in a refreshingly dark, reflexive manner. Their highly considered site specificity enhanced and extended the democratic spirit of festival Director Robyn Archer's inclusive vision over the past 3 Melbourne Festivals. In our forward-driven, increasingly blinkered culture, these installations made ominous and thought provoking claims for the importance of that which all too often falls out of earshot.

It's been a decade since I worked in a taco joint with a BS in comp sci because I was clueless about job hunting.
@shekkiesqueaks@computerfairi.es asks... what got you out of the taco place?
So... my DREAM had been to go to grad school. I had gotten the materials together in 2006 when I was finishing my BS. I didn't fill out the paperwork to send them in, because my (future gf/fiance/ex) had broken my heart and I walked around in a depressive fog for 6 weeks and blew out the deadlines and 2 letter grades of my courses that semester (last semester of school).
After graduation, I fart around for a month or two, spending first 2 weeks on WoW about 18 hours per day, then going and doing some random desultory looking for work. Can't get any bites. No industry contacts whatsoever. Career services was a redirect to monster.com (I hear it's better these days). I know a guy who works at the fast food taco joint, and they are hiring. Now, this ain't glamorous work, but The Rent Is Coming Due. It was a hard thing to mop up floors when a year ago you expected it'd be easy to get a decent job that, IDK, paid enough.
So come 2007 spring, I've not been able to get a job in the software industry (because I was TOTALLY IGNORANT because Reasons), and I'm getting desperate, and my money is running out. I was paid 700/mo, and my expenses were 800/mo. Or, you know, something about like that. It's been a decade.
I go to my old advisor and say, look, I'm happy to do scut work programming, whatever, I'd like to go do grad school someday. He's a professor, so he takes FOREVER to get back to me but... everything is super slow-mo and I'm running out of money. The (now fiance) is staying with me in the cheapest 1-room apt in town, has no job (I found out later she didn't bother looking for work, just wandered around to parks. WHATEVER.). I have $50 in the bank that June week and I'm just WAITING for this prof to get back to me. He does so, 1-2? weeks before I go talk to the landlord and ask for an extension so I don't become homeless. I was SERIOUSLY contemplating a tent in the woods. The next step cheaper of housing was a nasty semi-dorm situation.
I had very few solid friends at that time, and no local network - I hadn't plugged into any social organizations as a student. For reasons I'll get into later, I "had no time", which was both true and false.
So... I get this job as a University programmer being paid $19/hr, only allowed to work 19/hr/wk (so they didn't have to do benefits YAY BEING YOUNG AND HEALTHY). This got me out of the immediate hole. I applied for grad school Fall 07, got in probationally or w/e, and was fully admitted S08. I worked with the chair, great old guy, then in Spring 2009, I was able to snag an industry internship, which was about the time StackOverflow came to be. I studied hard, spent time reading it, and around that time I started seriously doing open source contributions and programming at home instead of WoW.
I'd always been a talented programmer and had done a slew of fun small projects over the years, but the three-way combination of graduate school, TA'ing classes, and getting an internship skilled me up fast and let me deliver results in ways that actually looked highly competent. That internship lead to my current nice job at a different company, everything hunkydory.
Summer 2009 my advisor died, which threw my graduate school into a tailspin, yeah, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about some lessons learned.
Dropping the gaming and seriously engaging with programming at home & doing open source skilled me up very fast; getting into the interview was done initially via a "weak link" connection - a friend of a friend (I had improved my social relationships in graduate school. THIS WAS A BIG DEAL) - and I was able to blow away the interview. Once I was in, I got the magic sparkles of "a desirable person", and I tried to sponge up as much information as I could, leading to a Comfortable Career.
SO LESSONS to ME, 15 years ago.
LESSON ONE Get out there and network. Meet people, the same people, on a regular basis. Figure out how to get coffee with people.
LESSON TWO. Video games are a TERRIBLE WAY TO DO LIFE. They provide illusions of success and tickle you into thinking things are well. THEY AREN'T WELL, DIMWIT. Go out and get on an Ultimate Frisbee team - you like it!
TWO, SUBPART ONE: You are putting 30+ hours a WEEK into WoW. Use that time to get on IRC and network in programming channels. Do open source to build a portfolio.
TWO, TO DEAR READER: games are quiet, cheap, and a good way to unwind. I wanted that, since I was BROKE. This helped lead to really bad places. I should have done pencil art. Unwinds, quiet, cheap, but not addictive like WoW (which is a FINELY TUNED MACHINE TO EAT YOUR LIFE).
LESSON THREE. Get internships, if at all possible. Meet people at companies. Take risks and visit San Francisco by greyhound. Go to Seattle and do the same thing. DO NOT GO TO YOUR PARENTS EVERY SINGLE BIG BREAK. GROW UP.
LESSON FIVE. Magically figure out how to present yourself as a successful white-collar person.
Dear reader. About HALF of these failures came about because I DID NOT KNOW how to network with white collar professionals, OR present myself as a successful member of the white collar professional tribe.
For all the whaaarghble about how programming accepts everyone, etc, it's a white collar job with expectations of college education. If you can pull that "look like a tribal member" off, you immediately increase your chances 10x or more of getting hired at a reputable firm ( I suspect looking white and male /also/ boosts your chances. But I'm only talking about class right now ).
I did not dress tribally. I did not talk tribally. I did not know how to compose emails tribally. I did not know how to network tribally. I didn't know how to make small talk and present myself in the proper tribal fashion.
This meant that when 2006 and graduation rolled around, I had no ability to confidently deliver a message of "hire me" to the right person (I didn't know who that even was, for one thing). So resume sending to HR, who blackholed me for some reason.
So looking back: NUMBER ONE I should have sought an internship aggressively in my junior year, regardless of graduate school aspirations. Any internship. Anywhere. No fear of "the big city" allowed (that was a thing too...). This would have jumped polish and presentation levels, since interns are known to be a bit rough. Then, NUMBER TWO structured collegiate social groups to help improve your socialability. NUMBER THREE find a professional watering hole online. SOAK THAT STUFF UP. Interact with successful software engineers who can forward you to their managers. Learn how they talk.
These three things would have bigly helped my class mobility.
but hey, me in 2004? he was a clueless dude. he might have been a homeless dude in a park if things hadn't come together the right way. I caught the breaks just right and I'm ok now, but it was real close for a few years.

Nas Honored With W.E.B. Du Bois Medal At Harvard !
Nas was a recipient of the W.E.B. Du Bois Medal last night, from Harvard.
Last night, Nas was excitedly posting pictures while he was at Harvard University, receiving the prestigious W.E.B. Du Bois Medal. Nas became the first rapper to ever receive the award, which Harvard doles out annually for individuals who have excelled in their contributions to African American culture. Nas was joined by Former U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr and seven other recipients.
When receiving his award, Nas spoke on the importance of the award in relation to the youth. "These are the things the kids need to see. The real things," he said. "This is a light I want on me. I hope that I can be a great role model for those kids…you can be more than the typical image of rap."
He later wrote on Instagram, "Historic night for the rap game. At the Hutchins Center Honors for the W. E. B. Du Bois Medal ceremony. This is a first for the Rap Game to receive this award but, definitely not the last. Thank you."
Check out some of the photos Nas shared from the ceremony at Sanders Theatre above.

From Iceland — Fair Play Needs a Good Referee
Fair Play Needs a Good Referee
Toshiki Toma
Referees and judges in football, baseball and tennis are like shadows, and don't make us strongly aware of their existence. But we sports fans know how important they are in creating great matches. Unfair refereeing in a football game or poor judging of whether the ball is "in" or "out" in tennis can really ruin a game.
Iceland is a democratic republic which is governed by the rule of law. Though we might be imperfect, we do a fairly good job of this. Citizens here are required to follow the rules that the nation decides and provides, as are foreigners who are staying here with a residence permit, and in spite of some exceptions, most of us immigrants respect the laws of the nation and are trying to follow the rules.
There are several things that I want to point out by making an analogy between the immigrant experience and a sports match, but first I will take up the importance of "good refereeing". I mean here, with the word "refereeing," the way that we handle immigrants' need to be shown what to do in order to live and work in Iceland. And the referee here is the Directorate of Immigration (Útlendingastofnun).
My work is all about immigrant life in Iceland. Administrative or judicial matters aren't a direct part of my work, yet I am involved in them every now and then. I have observed some examples of "bad refereeing" by the Directorate of Immigration in the last few years.
Let's take first some examples where the referee has done a bad job of explaining the rules to the players:
1. Two men from an EU nation came to Iceland to work as interns at an institute for a little over six months as part of their university studies. They went to the Directorate of Immigration and filled out the form to apply for a residence permit. After waiting for two hours to speak with someone, they were told that they didn't have to apply because they were only staying for a short time. After they returned to their office, their boss wondered if this was really true, and called the Directorate of Immigration. It turned out that these fellows were in fact supposed to apply for the residence permit after all. They had to go back and repeat the whole process from the beginning.
2. A man from outside the EU lives here under a permanent residence permit. He had to go back home to take care of his sick parents and wound up staying longer than he planned. I cautioned him that he was supposed to tell the Directorate of Immigration if he would be away longer than 18 months. His daughter contacted the Directorate, but was told he didn't need to do anything. My colleague wanted to confirm this, and asked again. It turned out that he in fact did need to file a statement with the Directorate that he intended to return to Iceland.
3. An Asian student came to Iceland to study for one year. Her residence permit was valid only for the first semester, after which she had to renew it. The Directorate of Immigration's website said that she had to submit information about her "success in her studies." She got a letter from the school saying that she was doing fine. The Directorate of Immigration replied that what "success in her studies" really meant was that she had to submit her first semester grades, which were not ready yet. This was nowhere explained on the website. They also required her to resubmit proof of her finances, even though the bank statement she had originally submitted showed enough funds for the entire year.
These are just a few examples but the point is clear. One officer says A, and then another officer says B, and the real answer can even be C! Such incidents happen so often that I feel like "Ah, not again…," almost without being surprised. This lax attitude towards giving people the correct information was not a problem a few years ago, when the Directorate of Immigration was very flexible and always willing to consider each immigrant's individual circumstances. Now that the Directorate is stricter, immigrants need to be clearly told the rules of the game.
Another sort of problem arises when the referee does not treat the players with dignity and respect, or forgets how important the referee is as a moral example to the players. At the Directorate of Immigration, there is, for example, an unwilling attitude at reception, and one must stand and talk to the staff through a window rather than sitting down in mutual respect at a table. If you call, you must wait for a long time on the phone and sometimes you get cut off. Surprisingly often, the Directorate loses application forms and supporting documents, including difficult-to-replace originals from the applicant's home country.
I would like to emphasise this next point very strongly: In every single case of mis-refereeing by the Directorate, it is we immigrants who get yellow cards and even red cards. And then we are "out" of the game.
I am not trying to make a personal attack on the Directorate. I hardly know the staff personally and on principle I try to avoid making their acquaintance. I am trying to point out the fact that a lot of undesirable mis-refereeing is really happening, and I want the Directorate to make some effort to reduce those cases.
This doesn't mean at all that the staff in the office is unfriendly or irresponsible. I know that the Directorate is making an effort to bridge the gap between the office and the immigrants, among other ways by hiring staff of foreign origin. I know that the number of cases that the office has to cope with is increasing enormously.
Nevertheless, that should not be an excuse for misguiding immigrants or handling them unfairly.
My broader criticism goes in a different direction from the Directorate itself. It is first to the authorities in the Icelandic government who are charged with the fair and appropriate administration of the laws in this country. If it is obvious that the Directorate of Immigration is under too much of a burden, why haven't these authorities acted to maintain the quantity and quality of the Directorate's staff? Maybe in part because they aren't hearing any complaints by immigrants.
And this leads me to a second broader criticism. Why do we never hear complaints about the Directorate of Immigration in any public forum, even though they are in the air all around us? This is because in most of the cases we immigrants are not in a secure enough position to make public complaints free of risk. Who dares to offend the referee who is holding one's destiny in his hands? But this keeps us voiceless. I think the responsible authorities and the public media should pay more attention to the existence of immigrants and should try to dig up what is really in our minds instead of asking the stereotypical questions of "How do you like Iceland?" or "Is Icelandic difficult to learn?".
A good referee is not a gift from Heaven. S/He is created by society and is living proof of that society's democracy, freedom and maturity.
Toshiki Toma is the pastor for immigrants in Iceland.

Icelandic Executions: Punishing The Weak


The unfortunate souls that stray too close to a swamp's edge often find themselves the meal of a Kyanprat. There are few beings, animal or otherwise, that pose any danger to this horrifying creature. Ranging between sixteen and eighteen feet long with an odd mixture of reptilian and mammalian features, these swamp-dwelling beasts are a lethal sight to behold.
Kyanprat have little cultural or historical significance in Regalia, and it was not until recently that their existence has been proven. Rather, they are culturally significant in Fendarfelle, wherein Orc tribes that migrated out of Guldar to Fendarfelle have shown a ritualistic respect to the animal, designating swamps where they rest as sacred areas, where not a soul is permitted to walk. The Kyanprat is misfortunate for this, as these designations have given a fairly broad view of where they roam and where a traveller needs to travel to avoid them. The tale of the first recorded encounter with a Kyanprat reached Regalia by way of Orcish tale. The Horncrusher clan started reestablishing itself in the Swamps of Fendarfelle, and the clan's chieftain, Glodbossh Horncrusher was leading a hunting party through the swamps to find food. Thinking he spied a fish through the murky depths of the swamp, he set a foot down, rearing his spear. If he had thrown the spear a moment sooner, he might not have been mauled to death by an irate Kyanprat, which did not take kindly to being stepped upon. The rest of the party managed to escape with their lives, but they made sure to map the location, remaining wary of the Kyanprat habitat.
The Kyanprat are diverse in size, ranging between fifteen to eighteen feet in length and four to six feet in girth. One thing is ubiquitous in the swamp-dwellers, and that is their peculiar combination of reptilian and mammalian features. Woe-betide the simple scholar that hopes to classify them, as they have the coarse, scaly form of a reptile, tufts of thin fur like that of a mammal and what seems to be a marsupial reproductive process from what few accounts have been given. Their dog-like heads usually account for one-fifth of their body mass and they have snapping jaws that have been known to rend plated steel into shreds. Kyanprat are quadrupedal and have pouches on their abdomens, along with tufts of thin, brown hair on parts of their tail. Furthermore, they have an odd tail that makes a mixture of the muscular appendage of a crocodile with the stranding hair of a horse. While usually, they have a motley-green shade to their skin, older specimens have been observed to have a splotchy-grayish quality to their hides. Few specimens have ever been caught, and the only effective way to kill them is through major bodily harm, therefore most accounts of interaction with the Kyanprat come from lucky survivors who managed to escape an attack.
With male Kyanprat vastly outnumbering the number of females, this swamp-dwelling creature often has difficulty finding a mate. Travelling in packs, only about one of the ten Kyanprat found in a pack is female, discernible by their smaller stature in comparison to the males. The distinct difference in the populations of male and female Kyanprat remains one of the biggest factors in the steady decrease of their population.
Although the exact birth process of the Kyanprat is mysterious, it would seem as if they are marsupial. Giving live births, a female Kyanprat can have up to three offspring at once. Their lifespan generally lasts twenty to twenty-five years, with most of their main development occurring in between the first five years of a young Kyanprat's life, as they typically experience oddly large growth spurts during this period. In contrast to most mammals, Kyanprat are born with a thin layer of fur on their dog-like head.
Whilst seemingly incredibly hostile towards any and all scholars who have tried to study them, the Kyanprat are surprisingly docile towards most travellers, that is, unless provoked. Akin to a mother bear, female Kyanprat are considerably more aggressive than the males. While in theory, it would be possible to domesticate a Kyanprat, no soul would ever take on such a taxing quest, given the sheer size of demands of maintaining such a creature.
Usually operating in packs of eight to ten, the Kyanprat don't have much interaction with one another, aside from mating and caring for their offspring. They instinctively flock to one swamp and are rarely seen alone. Most Kyanprat don't move around much throughout their lifetime, and it is not uncommon for such creatures to die in the same swamp where they were born. Whilst not overly protective of their territory, other species that wander into their habitat can easily be made into a quick meal.
It has been proven that the snap of a Kyanprat's jaws are strong enough to rend plate-armor. This was a difficult hypothesis to prove, and many unfortunate experiment-hands died in the process.
It is unknown exactly how many teeth a Kyanprat has, but the general consensus is that if you have to know, you will probably be dead within the next five minutes.

WHITE, JEREMIAH (1629–1707), chaplain to Cromwell, was born in 1629. He was admitted a sizar of Trinity College, Cambridge, on 7 April 1646, proceeded B.A. in 1649, and M.A. in 1653. In his student years he experienced much mental distress owing to religious difficulties, but ultimately found consolation in the doctrine of the restoration or restitution of all things. On leaving the university he passed at once to Whitehall, and became domestic chaplain to Cromwell and preacher to the council of state. His attractive person and witty conversation soon made him popular. His position in the household of the Protector brought him into close relationship with his family, and White allowed his ambition to go so far as to aspire to the hand of Cromwell's youngest daughter Frances. It is said that the lady did not look upon him with disfavour. The state of things came to Cromwell's knowledge. With the help of a household spy he managed to surprise the two at a moment when his chaplain was on his knees before his daughter kissing her hand. 'Jerry,' who was never at a loss for something to say, explained that for some time past he had been paying his addresses to the lady's waiting woman, but being unsuccessful in his endeavours, he had been driven to soliciting the Lady Frances's interest on his behalf. The opportunity thus offered was not neglected by Cromwell. Reproaching the waiting woman with her slight of his friend, and gaining her consent to the match, he sent for another chaplain and had them married at once.
At the Restoration White found himself without fixed income, but abstained from the religious disputes of the day. It is probable that his popularity gained him some form of maintenance. In 1666 the estate of 'old Mrs. Cromwell' was in his hands. He collected much information with respect to the sufferings of the dissenters after the Restoration, but refused a thousand guineas from James II for his manuscript, being disinclined to discredit the established church. His manuscript is not known to be extant. White never himself conformed to the church of England. He preached occasionally in an independent church in Meeting-house Alley, Queen Street, Lower Rotherhithe, which was built soon after the Restoration.
White was a conspicuous member of the Calves' Head Club at its annual meetings on 30 Jan., when the 'Anniversary Anthem' was sung, and wine in a calf's skull went the round to the memory of 'the patriots who had relieved the nation from tyranny.' He died in 1707. A glowing character is given of him in the 'Monthly Miscellany' for 1707 (i. 83–5, 116–18). There is a portrait of White incorrectly attributed to Van Dyck. An engraving is prefixed to his work, 'A Persuasive to Moderation,' published after his death in 1708.
His publications include: 1. 'A Funeral Sermon on the Rev. F. Fuller,' London, 1702. 2. 'The Restoration of all Things,' (anon.), London, 1712, 1779 (3rd edit.), 1851 (in vol. iii. of the Universalist's Library). Extracts from the work were published in a volume entitled 'Universal Restoration,' with others of a like nature by 'some of the most remarkable authors who have written in defence of that interesting subject' (London, 1698). 3. 'A Persuasive to Moderation,' London, 1708 (1725?). This is an enlargement of part of White's preface to Peter Sterry's 'The Rise, Race, and Royalty of the Kingdom of God in the Soul.'

SHEEX performance is a bedding line designed to control temperature, increase air circulation, improve breathability, and keep your body cool and dry, all night long.
www.trysheex.com
Sheex Review: Are These Bed Sheets Really Worth It?
Published on: Aug 8, 2018
SHEEX, who is advertised as the performance sleep start-up company, was created by two coaches from a University in South Carolina. We're told that their bedding is unlike any traditional set of sheets – that they look like something you would wear on a trip to the gym or for a jog.
These two coaches loved the feel of sportswear and decided to combine the same attributes of clothing that keeps you cool at the gym and apply it to sheets that keep you cool while you sleep.
To accomplish this, the company uses the same fabric that you would find in high-performance athletic wear – a blend of two materials, polyester (87%) and spandex (13%), that makes for a breathable, stretchy set of sheets.
Aside from controlling temperature, if you're not a fan of having to iron your bedding, this line claims to be wrinkle-free, lightweight, and tight-fitting.
SHEEX also covers a full range of temperature control products, from mattress toppers, comforters, and duvet covers, to pillows, sleepwear, and loungewear for both men and women.
How Much Does SHEEX Original Collection Cost and Where Can You Buy?
The original SHEEX performance sheet set is available to purchase directly off the company's website, as well as Amazon, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Walmart.
If you're interested in purchasing a set, SHEEX is currently holding a special on their original performance collection.
Your complete set will include:
One fitted sheet
One flat sheet
Two pillowcases plus an additional two free of charge
You can choose from four colors, bright white, ecru, navy, and graphite.
Prices range from $159 - $219 for a twin, full, queen, king/Cal king, and split king complete set, along with an additional 25 percent off using a promo code.
This offer is only available on the TrySHEEX.com promo site and includes free shipping, along with a one-year manufacturer warranty, and a full 30-day money-back guarantee.
The Construction and Materials in SHEEX Sheets
One of the claims the company makes about its line of bedding is that their fabric is better than traditional cotton with nearly 50% more breathability. We're told that they've been tested at Diversified Testing Laboratories and incorporate advanced heat and moisture transfer through evaporative cooling.
From what we've been told on the FAQ on the company's website, the concept of thread count does not apply due to their unique circular-knit microfiber used in the original collection. This is in stark contrast to traditional sheets, whose ability to exchange air (and thereby keep sleepers cool) is inversely impacted by a higher thread count.
In addition to thread count, breathability and coolness are also about the material used. With several types to choose from in bedding, including microfiber, cotton, and polyester, we decided to do a bit of research on polyester vs. cotton, to understand the company's claim of how their sheets breathe better than cotton.
SHEEX Polyester Sheets vs. Cotton
In an HGTV "Guide to Buying Sheets" article," they mentioned that according to Jim Symmes, vice president at International, which manufactures sheets for Tommy Bahama and Laura Ashley, "cotton is by far the most-loved fabric for sheets." Why? Because it's "soft, durable, and breathes well," Jim explains.
Cotton has been around for a long time and continues to be a popular item in fabric-based products, with no show of a decline in demand anytime soon. It's high-quality, easy to wash, doesn't shrink easily, suitable for all skin types, and an excellent option for all-year-round sheets. The downside is that it wrinkles.
Polyester, on the other hand, has only been around for about half a century and is a petroleum-based synthetic fiber that has also grown in popularity for the manufacturing of clothing, carpeting, drapes, and other home furnishings.
However, something to take into consideration is that according to the information we found in a Healthline report on polyester, it could potentially cause skin irritation and allergies for those who might be allergic to it, or who have sensitive skin.
Comfort-wise, both materials seem to have a sign of approval from sleep expert sites such as Sleepopolis and Sleepsherpa.
Overall, we also didn't find any evidence to suggest that polyester offers more breathability than cotton, however, nor to support the claim that synthetic moisture-wicking fabric gives off a cooling effect in sheets.
As far as the breathability claims made by SHEEX (i.e., that their sheets offer 50% more than traditional cotton), we didn't encounter any proof of clinical testing on their website (or on third-party websites) to back them up.
Some of SHEEX's Competition
When on the market for a new set of bedding, focusing on factors like price, quality, and customer reviews is helpful. Here are a couple of brands to compare with that make similar claims to SHEEX on breathability and coolness.
Brooklinen
Brooklinen sheets also advertise that they offer a cool, breathable, sleep environment. The classic range will cost you about the same as SHEEX sheets. One of the main differences to SHEEX is that it is made from 100% cotton with a 270 thread count.
We covered a review on this particular bedding line, and if you'd like to learn more about it, you can read our review here.
The $109 to $149 Percale range is recommended for hot sleepers as it is lightweight, breathable, and cool to the touch.
It's made from 100% breathable cotton and has a variety of patterns and colors. We're not told what thread count this company uses, but what we do know is that percale uses a flat weave stitch, which is said to result in a cool, crisp fabric.
Purple Bamboo Sheets
According to their website, these no-thread-count viscose bamboo sheets are 83% more breathable than top-selling Egyptian cotton sheets, and are also ultra-stretchy and constructed without seams to enhance comfort.
Pricing ranges between $99 and $129, and each set is available in four different colors.
Boll & Branch
Available in nine different colors and priced between $200 and $210 for each complete set, Boll & Branch's solid hemmed, 300 thread-count sheets are made from pure organic cotton and are constructed from a single ply to retain softness and breathability.
Bedgear Dri-Tech
This brand offers the same moisture-wicking, high-performance material as SHEEX. It's made from 100% polyester and promises a tight-fitting soft, crisp sheet. It looks modern and also doesn't wrinkle, with the main difference being that it's slightly more expensive than SHEEX.
Wicked Sheets
Wicked's moisture-wicking and cooling sheets are made from 100% silk-weight polyester that promises to wick away six times as much moisture, dry four times faster, and allow three times more airflow exchange than standard sheets. They're also claimed to remain two to three degrees cooler to the touch and prevent the absorption of heat from light sources.
Individual sheets and sets range in price between $64.95 and $209.95.
An entire sleep system (mattress, mattress pad, sheets, pillow, pillow protector, and comforter) that uses proprietary Thermocules to help create a unique microclimate under the covers, based on each individual's needs.
Alone, their 300 thread-count sheet sets are priced at $130 to $210, depending on the retailer.
Microfiber sheets (no thread count) made from 83% polyester and 17% spandex, which is the same combination and percentages found in Sheex's sheets. Price-wise, we found complete sets available at retailers like Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, Amazon, Walmart, and Kohls for $60 to $110.
What Customers and Sleep Experts Are Saying About SHEEX Sheets
In a review on Business Insider, we're told that when personally testing the SHEEX sheets, they noticed that it was able to disperse heat more quickly and evenly, avoiding higher-temperature pockets of air. They were also surprised by how comfortable and smooth they felt, and although they seemed heavier than their other sheets, they reported it delivered a nice "grounding effect" during sleep.
Another review by Sleepsherpa gave SHEEX sheets an 8.4 out of 10 rating for fit, durability, softness, breathability, and price, with a few pros and cons to consider. After testing it out themselves, they reported it was an excellent sheet for hot sleepers and for those looking to stay cool and dry throughout the night.
However, they did mention to make sure you have a mattress pad/protector that also has cooling properties. Otherwise, your efforts to avoid trap heat may be in vain as the heat could get trapped in the mattress pad itself.
One other thing they mentioned was that that the material tends to snag, so if you have rough skin, you may feel the sheets snagging against your skin.
On Amazon, SHEEX's sheet sets came with hundreds of combined customer reviews, who had given them an average rating of about four stars, with compliments commonly citing improved comfort, coolness, and construction quality.
The relatively few complaints often referenced hot sleeping and feel preferences.
Who Might Benefit from Using SHEEX?
When choosing the perfect set of bedding that works well with the color scheme in your bedroom, that can also provide you with a comfortable sleep environment, it often comes down to personal preference, testing it out firsthand, and finding an option that falls within your budget.
Although we haven't personally tested this bedding line out ourselves, after collecting information from the experts and seeing an average 4-star rating on sites like Amazon and Bed Bath and Beyond, it does seem that SHEEX delivers on its advertising claims for most customers.
From a price perspective, you'll certainly pay a premium for SHEEX sheets, although their sets fall mostly in line with competitors like Purple and Boll & Branch. But if budget is your top concern, other companies like Parachute, Wicked, and ProTech might deliver similar cooling results, but at meaningfully lower prices. How to decide?

In a review covered by Sleepopolis, they recommend the SHEEX performance collection to sleepers who are in search of a moisture-wicking, durable sheet that is also modern looking. They reported the stitching to be flawless, with high-quality color, as well as very few signs of shrinkage after a standard wash.
If you're not a fan of polyester and prefer cotton, SHEEX does offer a collection of cotton sheets and various other options which you might be interested in instead. And at the end of the day, if you're not happy with your purchase, you can always return them after 30-day's and get your money-back guarantee.

Read 5 Sheex Customer Reviews and Complaints
5 star: 0 4 star: 0 3 star: 1 2 star: 2 1 star: 2
By Mary C.,
Charlotte, NC,
The sheets do nothing I expected. They only keep you cool if you have nothing else over you. If you have a comforter or quilt on the bed the heat gets trapped there. Also, they are very slippery and don't stay on the bed. I was fighting all night to keep my quilt from sliding off. I am trying to get a refund but their website refund button doesn't help and even after entering my order number they say no order with that number and email combination is found. Very disappointed!
By Ann H.,
I tried Sheex for one night ONLY and thought they were horrible: Way overpriced, the skin on my feet kept snagging, and I got so hot that I felt a boiled egg - I've never slept in such sweltering discomfort. I contacted the company to request a return authorization; they asked me to donate the sheets to a local charity and asked me to send them a copy of the donation receipt in order to get a refund. This sounded like a scam to me, so they sent me a return label, which means that even though I already paid $25.14 shipping when I ordered the sheets, I now have an additional $25.14 that was deducted from my refund. I should have known better - I knew these sounded too good to be true.
Sheex as promised, but not as desired
By George S.,
Product is as promised. It is soft, kind of like silk. Made of the same fabric that gym shorts are made from. It's not new - it's called nylon/polyester. So would you want your pajamas made from it? If not, then why was I thinking that nylon sheets would be great? There's a good reason they never name the fabric in their ads. On the plus side, I do love the way the elastic waistband holds the fitted sheet to my mattress. On the negative, if you've already ordered good luck trying to return the item. Their customer service is just an answering machine. The bigger problem is that they shipped me (and charged my credit card) for additional merchandise I did not want. (When you select the sheets you want, they ask for your credit card. After approving the charge for the sheets, they ask you if you'd like a discount on pillows, second sheet sets, etc. If you reply yes to anything, they automatically charge your card without even telling you the cost until after the fact. I immediately requested a correction and they said it was too late. So my $149 sheet set ended up costing me over $300.)
Love the feel and comfort, but...
By Jeane H.,
I love the feel and comfort of this product, but...the fit leaves me annoyed!
The fabric seems to have stretched during the sewing phase. The fitted sheet doesn't fit the mattress and the flat sheet doesn't lay evenly over the bed, which means my comforter and blanket need to be on the bed at all times. My husband and I constantly fight for covers. A bit more quality control is a necessity!

Canceled without approval
By Brenda M.,
Sheex sheets advertise they can deliver the same day. If not, then the next. I ordered Sheex on 12/19 Saturday. On Monday I was told they would ship on Tuesday, on Tuesday I was told they would ship next week. When I got upset, I said I would like to talk to the accounts that cancel the order, she got smart and said that was here also. The phone got disconnected, no verifying that I actually wanted to cancel and they canceled and said too bad. This small company has no customer service at all.

This quantity marks the 20th anniversary of the Bialowieza sequence of conferences on Differential Geometric tools in Physics; the anniversary assembly used to be held in the course of July 1-7, 2001. The Bialowieza conferences, held each year through the first week of July, have now grown into an annual pilgrimage for a global crew of physicists and mathematicians.
A morphism of algebraic types (over a box attribute zero) is monomial if it will probably in the neighborhood be represented in e'tale neighborhoods through a natural monomial mappings. The ebook supplies evidence dominant morphism from a nonsingular 3-fold X to a floor S will be monomialized by means of appearing sequences of blowups of nonsingular subvarieties of X and S.
This monograph is an annotated translation of what's thought of to be the world's first calculus textbook, initially released in French in 1696. That anonymously released textbook on differential calculus used to be in line with lectures given to the Marquis de l'Hôpital in 1691-2 via the nice Swiss mathematician, Johann Bernoulli.
Now it is easy to see that to give a morphism Z → G for any sheaf G is the same as giving a global section of G. Similarly, to give a morphism ZU → G is the same as giving a section of G over U . So suppose G is injective. We will show that G(X) → G(U ) is surjective for any U , which evidently implies flabbiness. But 2If r had not been extended to a global section, this would have only been a section over U ∩ Ui . 44 4. COHOMOLOGY OF SHEAVES ZU → Z is injective, so by assumption any ZU → G can be extended to a Z → G.
COHOMOLOGY OF SHEAVES Recall that the functor F → F(X) = Γ(X, F) is a covariant additive functor from Sh(X) to Ab, the category of abelian groups. It is also leftexact by Proposition ??. Consequently, in view of the existence of enough injectives, we can define its right derived functors. 4. The derived functors of Γ(X, ·) are written H i (X, ·); for a sheaf F, the groups H i (X, F) are called the sheaf cohomology groups. They are defined for i ≥ 0. We shall briefly the definition. To compute H i (X, F), we consider an injective resolution 0 → F → I0 → I1 → .
14. Let C, C be two abelian categories and F : C → C a covariant left-exact functor. 3 Suppose that M ⊂ C is a collection of objects satisfying the following: (1) Any object A ∈ C admits an embedding into an object of M (2) A direct factor of an element of M belongs to M (3) If 0 → A → B → C → 0 is an exact sequence in C and A, B ∈ M, then C ∈ M too and 0 → F (A) → F (B) → F (C) → 0 is exact. Then the objects of M are F -acyclic. In other words, the derived functors Ri F (M ), i ≥ 1 vanish for M ∈ M.

So when I have a signature,I firstly should put www.timeshareforums.com in my signature,but not my own website?when could I to put my own website? or never?
No. In order to put a signature link to your site on a post here you must put a TS4M's link on your site first.
Not hard to understand, It is What Tony said. just add wwwitimeshareforums.com to your site somewhere say in your links directory then let me know after I verify it you can add your site to your signature here you would not be putting timeshareforums on your signature here why would you think that?

Q: How to use two different font sizes for button text in Android? How could I implement a button background for ImageButton or Button which contains 2 textview each using different font sizes ? I cant use static images as background and I need to achieve this either using xml or programmatically.
This is a numeric keypad and it carries a numeric value and a set of alphabets each of which uses different font sizes and needs to be set as button text.

Here are some of the suggestions that pop-up on my brain but seems to have limitations since I want to reuse the UI component and avoid code repetition.

*

*Create a layout xml containing 2 textfields and set that as background on the button. But how can I get a reference of these textview fields to set the value on them in the MyActivity.java?

*Use a layeredlist ? still same problem reference of textviews

*Or create a custom view and inflate layout mentioned in step 1. This solution resolves my problem.
Does any other solution exist for this UI requirement?
Thanks.

A: Hopefully this will help. This off course is not the only solution but it is a pretty simple one. Add the xml part in your xml instead of the button.
XML
<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/button_layout"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="20sp"
        android:text="5"/>
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="12sp"
        android:text="ABC"/>

</LinearLayout>

CODE
    LinearLayout button= (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.button_layout);
    button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO DO whatever you want to do here

        }
    });

A: For your button you can use code like this
don't forget put font in your Assets folder
 Button btnA=(Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
 Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "yourFont.ttf");
 btnA.setText("my custom font");
 btnA.setTypeface(typeface);
 btnA.setTextSize(20);//as per your size

and for more reference see this
do as your second button if this helps let me know thanks...


I write this while attending the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys Annual Workshop in Puerto Rico. I flew down here with my associate, Jason Leibowitz, and my good friend, Kerie Stone, who is the Chairperson of the Bankruptcy Committee of the Suffolk County Bar Association.
In between attending workshop sessions, Kerie and I chatted about her participation in a Strategic Planning Program which is designed to improve the efficiency of our bankruptcy courts in Central Islip and Brooklyn.
She said that upon her return to New York, she will be attending meetings with a committee of our bankruptcy judges, an efficiency expert being flown in from Washington, some of the court clerks, and some of the trustees — all in an effort to make our court run better.
We currently have seven different bankruptcy judges. Unfortunately, that means we have seven different sets of chambers rules, seven different sets of calendar procedures, and seven different sets of protocols.
For example, for the same type of court application, some judges permit counsel to submit notices of presentment whereas other judges require motions accompanied by court appearances. Also, different judges have different requirements (or permit their trustees to have different requirements) for the provisions they want contained in a Chapter 13 plan. It simply does not make sense that we do not have a uniform Chapter 13 plan for our district.
It would therefore be great if the judges could work together to unify their chamber rules and procedures.
Attorneys would be able to practice much more efficiently if they knew what the judges expect from them. In addition, court practice would be much smoother if a larger percentage of attorneys handled matters in the manner the court would prefer.
As such, perhaps the judges can hold annual presentations to the bankruptcy bar during which time they can review how they would like counsel to handle or address various matters.
Many of our judges periodically provide presentations at continuing legal education seminars where attorneys can attend for a fee. However, my experience has been that most judges concentrate their discussions on substantive law issues, as opposed to procedural aspects that would make court practice more efficient.
What we need are periodic presentations at no cost where the sole purpose would be for the judges to discuss the court's policies and procedures with the bankruptcy bar in an effort to make bankruptcy court practice more efficient. The judges could also consider other methods to educate the bar as to their expectations for bankruptcy practice.

If fairlight wants to dissolve, that's their business. It's better than forcing the group to stay alive.
added on the 2003-06-13 16:07:43 by crusader
But Fairlight can't die. Not just because we don't want it, but such really old labels can not be wiped out of existence. Someone will pick it up again, and carry on. It will not disappear till the founders announce the end.
added on the 2003-06-14 11:37:07 by tomcat
you got confirmation in the thread by turtle, who is the oldest scener i know (got in the scene since 1978), that FLT is dead. what more do you need to beleive it?
added on the 2003-06-14 12:27:01 by nystep
Since 1978? Was there a scene at 78? Which home micros were existing at that time???
Here, it says he started beeing interested for the scene at 1980. Still, very early..
http://www.ojuice.net/7190/nick.htm
Since there is no option on the signup form to say you've been around earlier than 1980, i had no option to do otherwise ...
added on the 2003-06-14 20:00:54 by Turtle
Well, it's possible that someone had been a scener in 1978 - assuming he was the first customer of the Apple-II. :)
I dunno how long you been computing, but when i got my first in 1978 there was a lot of computers around, and had been for some years. And on the question if there was a scene back then, i have to ask another question "when did the scene start ?".
Most ppl thinks that the scene started with C64, but that was just a new version of other great machines back then like VIC20 that again was a new version of PET2001. There will always be questions about when the scene started like we now have the so called "new scene" ...
So i guess i'am just what could be called a leftover from the "granddaddy scene" and i'am damn proud that i have had been around since those days ... so to all you kidz in here i can only say, you missed the beginning and all the phun of the true pioneer times.
i can't second the part with the 'new scene'. it's just a continuation what eventually started on the stone-age computers. people changed, that's it.
and .. i'm around since 1978 aswell, but only physically. =)

Is Fairlight finally dead or not? Oh,. comon decide someone! ;P
answer of Bachhus
http://www.c64.sk
and here
http://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8020&sid=7eca39d796d1254b20caed 2e0136fd59
I think the answer from Bachhus is very clear and level-headed. Face it, if it's not the founders intent to kill the group entirely, and people are still keeping the dream alive, then the group is not dead.
It won't die until every last member gives up hope, and even then the memories of FairLight will live forever.
added on the 2003-07-10 09:38:39 by RaD Man
Abandoning hope -or at least a pet project- can be a good thing in this case. Far too many people have been assraping the 'till-then legendary names for far too long.
Pick up any wanna-be-ooh-so-goth vampire novel about some jaded vampire craving death -that's what you suggest FLT to be. Stop pumping dry wells.

Legends never die.... nuff said!
added on the 2003-07-11 09:02:42 by Hype
The well isn't dry; FLT ISO didn't "die", it was shut down because the risk was deemed too big and that (as Bacchus's announcement says) doesn't affect the demo sections in any way.
i only see arse raping (subtle term... =-) when people who had nothing to do with the original name try to "bring back" a dead crew, FLT's main management are some of the people who have been there since the 1980s.
added on the 2003-07-11 10:21:33 by TMR{C0S}
Well TMR. It was just shut down.. So what's the difference between shutting down a section and a section dying? It's so amusing to see ppl like you running around and talking about systems they haven't got a clue about. Go further and amuse us all!
added on the 2003-07-12 15:49:11 by stylus
tmr, who has nothing to do with fairlight ? the only one i can think of is you.
and you really don't know anything about Fairlights structure either, i can tell as much as the old people is still here.
added on the 2003-07-12 16:31:19 by pantaloon
stylus: shut down means a conscious decision was made, dying is when apathy kicks in and everyone wanders off. Seen both too many times to count over the last 15 years and been in a few crews when one or the other has happened (and when one or two have been "reborn") so i'm writing from experience.
Just because i'm not directly involved with the PC doesn't mean i'm a scene virgin and, despite what people think, only the faces change.
TMR: I didn't asked you for your personal meaning of "shutting down". I think I can look up a dictionary for this.
You are writing from your experience? Well. Give me a break.. You are telling me that the faces change and you are talking about experience. If you would be so experienced you would know that 95,9% of the big PC groups are lead infact by OLD faces..
If you don't mind that I say it to such a scene veteran: Read the post by Pantaloon/FAIRLIGHT who will acknowledge this at any point.
stylus: You wanted a difference between "shut down" and "died" so i explained it, if you didn't want that why ask in the first place? Seems rather silly...?
And, if you read the context of my message more closely, i don't think i said that the management of the crews changed, just that the scene itself does. 95-6% of the management may be old hands (and without defining old that's hard to ascertain) but the bulk of the crews change as new people arrive or old hands get a "life" or one of those family thingies.
And i don't mind you saying stuff to me, although i'd rather you didn't use the term "scene veteran", i'm just someone who has been making a nuisance of himself for a long time...
TMR: I wouldn't say it's silly. Because it was no direct question, rather a point to make clear that there isn't too much difference between both terms.
You are talking about the management. This is wrong in my eyes. There are still many oldskoolers producing.. You should know it best, as far as I know Cosine is the group a man called 4MAT is member of.
Using scene verteran was pure sarcasm. I hope you excuse that. I don't want to turn down your nuisance, thats a point I accept&respect.
[Shrug] Rhetorical questions only work if there is only one obvious answer, since there is a difference (no matter how slight you feel it to be) it falls on it's arse.
Cosine aren't archetypical of the scene today, i doubt we ever were so pointing to anything we do as an example in this light makes very little sense. Now if you could list a significant percentage of the current scene who have roots as far back as 4-Mat's go, you might have a point, otherwise my comment about how the faces change stands.
And of course i spotted the sarcasm, you don't seriously believe i really care if i'm called anything like that do you...? =-)

I can help you with any information about the English language and on linguistics in general. I can help you with pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. Besides English, I am administrating various language exchange groups via Whatsapp: Currently: French, Japanese, Korean, and more. * Serious learners only! that means you should be prepared to do a video call.

How do I replace the flex cable on my Epilog Mini?
Turn off machine and unplug power cord.
Open glass lid and locate the I-beam.
Remove I-Beam cover by loosening the two screws on the front side of the beam and the four screws on the rear if you have a Mini 18. The Mini 24 will have 2 screw on the front and 5 on the backside. It is the grey or blue metal cover. You do not have to take the screws off, just loosen them a bit and then pull the cover off.
Once you have set the cover aside, locate the white colored flex (ribbon) cable attached to the green board immediately above the lens carriage (pic 2). Disconnect the flex cable from that board and also from the other end on the right side of the I-beam (pic 3).
The next step to slide off the flex cable from the 3 white plastic clips (pic 4). Note: the flex cable is not inserted all the way under the clips. Notice how it is positioned before sliding it out so that you can place the new one in exactly as the old one was. This is to prevent the cable from rubbing against next to it.
Place the new cable into place so that the black connectors snap into the green boards on both ends and under the 3 clips.
Grab the lens head and move it left to right all the way several times to ensure that all runs smoothly.
Reverse Steps 3 through 1 to complete this procedure. It is very important to note that the I-beam cover must not rub up against anything after you have put it back into place.
