You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'PiBoIdMo' category.
The new logo was designed by talented illustrator S.britt (of NORMAL NORMAN fame).
Now, I hear you asking some questions.
The original challenge—to create 30 picture book concepts in 30 days—was named "Picture Book Idea Month" or "PiBoIdMo" for short. Everyone pronounced the awkward acronym a different way. And if you managed to say it, it didn't make sense to others.
"STORYSTORM" is a portmanteau of story and brainstorm that is more immediately understood.
The new name signals a broader scope—any type of writer interested in being inspired in January can now join the challenge. Novelists, short story writers, non-fiction authors and even teachers and their students are welcomed. Any writer, anyone who wants to brainstorm for a month.
The goal is for STORYSTORM participants to jot down 30 story ideas in January. Then everyone will have thirty new shiny ideas to ponder, flesh out and write in 2017.
PiBoIdMo was originally held in November because it was modeled after NaNoWriMo, which runs at that time. But November is so busy with the start of the holiday season. Starting fresh in January—a new year, new goals—will hopefully prove to be both inspiring and motivating.
IS IT STILL FREE TO PARTICIPATE?
After the slam-dunking of presents down the chimney is over. In other words, Boxing Day. In other, other words, December 26th.
Registration will remain open for the entire first week of January. You do not have to register, but doing so makes you eligible to win prizes—agent consultations, books, critiques, and a whole lotta fabulous stuff that even Santa can't make possible.
So THANK YOU for being patient while I pondered these changes. More announcements soon—like the guest-blogger line-up!
But in the meantime, join our STORYSTORM Facebook group which is active year-round for friendly support and discussion.
Back in 2014, a picture book idea popped into my head. Luckily I jotted it down in my handy, dandy PiBoIdMo notebook. Gradually, the idea grew into a story about a girl named Chana who was miffed that everyone was mangling her name ("Shayna-China-Shawna-Kahana"). "I'm changing my name to Sue!" Chana cried to her grandmother.
"Sue's a nice name," said Grandma. "But did you know there was another Chana who came before you?" Grandma proceeded to tell her granddaughter all about Great Grandma Chana, her voyage to America, and her amazing qualities. Guess which name Chana chooses in the end? I titled the book THAT'S NOT MY NAME, and sent a draft to my critique group.
The critiques I received were lukewarm. My writing partners liked that the book drew on my personal experience. (Not a day goes by without someone bungling my name. The "Ch" is a throat clearing kh sound, like Challah bread or Chanukah, + Ah +Nah.) I had a feeling that all the Sibhoans, Seans, Xaviers, and Chiaras, of the world could relate. The book also emphasized the meanings of names and the importance of maintaining family traditions. Some of my critique partners found the story relatable, BUT . . . they didn't like that Grandma solved Chana's problem for her, which made the story fall flat as a pancake run over by a Zamboni.
How could Chana solve her own problem? I made about 10 different attempts at revision. In one draft, Chana scrutinized old photographs. In another she studied a family quilt. She even tried on Grandma Chana's name necklace. But all of these ideas were BORING! I was stuck.
I love field trips. (Anything to get away from my desk.) Around that time, I went hiking on vacation with my husband in the Canadian Rockies. We were trudging two miles up a mountain in the rain to get to the Lake Agnes Tea House when BAM! It hit me.
(See how I kept the Ch?) And what if she's really steamed that her friends Oog, Boog, and Goog keep bungling her name? And what if she can't find a T-shirt with her name on it? And what if she's inspired to solve her own problem after looking at cave paintings of her great, great, great grandmother, the Mighty Wakawakaloch?
Making your agent cry is a good thing (sometimes). We submitted the book to publishers at the start of 2016 and got the obligatory pile of rejections. And then, sometime during Round 2, the wonderful Kate O'Sullivan at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt said yes! She signed with the hilarious illustrator Mary Sullivan (author/illustrator of BALL, TREAT, and more!).
I'm forever grateful to Tara Lazar & the soon-to-be-renamed PiBoIdMo for giving me the spark to get this story started. Without my handy, dandy PiBoIdMo notebook—and the lessons I've learned over the years about freely jotting down ideas & then fine-tuning them—none of this would ever have happened. Stay tuned for WAKAWAKALOCH's debut in 2019!
Chana Stiefel (back of the throat Ch-ah-nah STEE-ful) is the author of more than 20 non-fiction books for kids on topics like exploding volcanoes and stinky castles. Her debut picture book, DADDY DEPOT, will be published by Feiwel & Friends in May 2017. WAKAWAKALOCH will be published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in 2019. Chana is represented by John M. Cusick at Folio Literary. Check out Chana's work at chanastiefel.com and on her authors' blog, which she co-writes with her writing partner Donna Cangelosi, at kidlittakeaways.com.
You heard right, PiBoIdMo, your beloved Picture Book Idea Month, is growing up and making some moves.
First–it will take place in JANUARY 2017 instead of NOVEMBER 2016.
Next–it will have a NEW NAME.
Finally–the focus will become broader, welcoming all kinds of writers and creative folk, from students to professionals.
I never had an ambition to become a picture book author. I know it is a thing that many people dream of doing. Their brains burst with rhythm and rhyme. They long to have their words matched with glorious pictures and put on shelves for children to love. I tumbled into it because I had a child and she desperately needed a story. She was struggling and hurting. I knew that the right story could help her. I looked for it at the library and in bookstores. I didn't find it, and so I wrote it instead. This was how Hold on to Your Horses was created. I thought I was done, but my daughter still struggled and I knew there was another question to answer, so I wrote The Strength of Wild Horses. Both stories came directly from the need of a child. So that is my advice to all those participating in PiBoIdMo. If you're struggling to find ideas, go spend time with some children.
I once read an article that described children's play as taking place in the Future Possible tense. You can hear it in the intonations of the kids. They have an idea—something they hope will be accepted into the mutual game—So they make a statement, but give it the intonation of a question.
"And then I grew wings?" says one child.
Each is part statement, part question. It is an expression of what might be possible in the next part of the game. Many adults would do well to think in the future possible tense. PiBoIdMo writers would do well to sit down with a note pad and scribble notes as fast as the kids can imagine. The games of children will teach you magic and whimsy that you can carry with you to the picture books you want to write. Children know that sometimes the best answer is to sprout a pair of wings (or a jetpack) and take off for the next mountain.
Stories are gifts to the children who read them. Your story may be a gift of whimsy or delight. It may be a solution to a problem. It may be a necessary lesson. Like gifts, these stories can come in all sorts of wrappings. They may be full of rhyme or they may be simple prose. The pictures may be simple or elaborate. If you're not sure yet which story you want to tell, go spend time with the people you want to tell it to. Listen to them. Learn what they love, what they worry about, what they cry over. Throw all of this into the pot from which you draw your ideas and let it simmer for a while. The result will be something delightful or useful, and perfectly suited to your audience.

I needed a kick in the pants to host a kick-off party. I never even THOUGHT about it until Leeza Hernandez asked me to host a PiBoIdMo Party for NJ-SCBWI. So to inspire you, I've created a three-page handout that you can use to host your own kick-off event. Writers, librarians and SCBWI devotees rejoice!
The first page contains the FAQ—what is this strangely-named online writing challenge all about? (Sorry, no instructions on how to pronounce it. I have no idea how to pronounce it myself!) This FAQ can be hung in your local library or writerly cafe to let others know about PiBoIdMo.
The next two pages provide exercises and tips from The Ghost of PiBoIdMo's Past. I went through these exercises with my party peeps last Monday and they came up with some fabulous ideas for new stories already!
And I just had another idea! Perhaps your kick-off party can include a kick ball! Hoverball, anyone?
Let me know if you're planning to KICK IT with PiBoIdMo this year! I'd love to hear what you've got goin' on!
I'm still firming up the festivities for 2014 and will post the guest blogger line-up soon. But while you wait for that and for registration to begin (on October 25th, right here), here's a peek at this year's logo, created by the talented Vin Vogel, whose new picture book MADDI'S FRIDGE is out now from Flashlight Press, with author Lois Brandt.
Registration for the November PiBoIdMo online event will commence October 25th. Individuals AND classes are invited to register. All registration requires is your name (or teacher's name in the case of a class) on the registration post's comment thread, plus you must also follow my blog (handy-dandy button in the left column). The "Official Participant" logo will also be available at that time for you to download and display on your website or social media platform.
Registration entitles you to PRIZES along the way, from signed books, critiques and author/illustrator Skype visits, to the grand prize–an idea consultation with a picture book agent. Last year we offered nine grand prizes!
Also, October 25th will kick-off "Pre-PiBo", a week-long series of posts intended to gear you up for the month of idea-generating.
Need somewhere to record your brilliance? The PiBoIdMo Cafe Press shop is open, featuring this year's Official Journal of Ideas. Remember that all proceeds ($3 per sale) are donated to RIF, Reading is Fundamental. So your purchase benefits an excellent cause!
Well, that's all for now, PiBoIdMo'ers. Except, can we think of a better name for y'all?
Thank You, PiBoIdMo, Aladdin/Simon & Schuster and RIF!
Thank you, PiBoIdMo participants, guest bloggers and illustrators. Do you know what you did?
You helped me raise $433.62 to donate to RIF, Reading is Fundamental.
Your purchases via the PiBoIdMo CafePress Shop made it possible.
For every $10 donated, RIF is able to distribute four books to a child in need.
So last month I made my way down to RIF Headquarters in D.C. I toured their offices and talked with RIF staff about the important work they're doing.
One staff member had just returned from a county in Appalachia, where 28% of the schoolchildren were officially homeless, and where even more lived in crowded trailers with multiple families apiece.
The school Principal told RIF that amazingly, their test scores rose from 9th percentile to the 22nd percentile in just one year. To what did they attribute that growth? RIF! Now that these children have books of their own, they're able to continue learning at home and over the summer break instead of being left behind. Books are AMAZING. But you already knew that, right?
As part of my trip to RIF, my publisher, the Aladdin imprint of Simon & Schuster, donated 100 copies of THE MONSTORE to the children at Bancroft Elementary in Washington, D.C. I was honored to appear at the school to talk to the children about writing and to personally sign every copy.
The best moment of the day? When I told the children they'd each be going home with a copy of my book. They cheered and hoorayed, and two besties in the front row hugged each other so tight they tumbled over in joy. Now that's a great day for any author. Thank you, Aladdin and RIF!
I have something else important to tell you.
RIF's donations have taken a plummet in recent times. The economy has hit them hard. So please consider donating directly. Remember $10 = 4 books!
And again, thank you for making the PiBoIdMo donation possible!
Every sale from the PiBoIdMo CafePress Shop will continue to benefit RIF!
Shirt design by Tory Novikova and available in the PiBoIdMo CafePress Shop!
Shirt design by Carter Higgins and available in the PiBoIdMo CafePress Shop!
PiBoIdMo Logo, Badge and Guest Bloggers!
October is NOT the month of jack-o-lanterns, candy corn (BLECH!) and costumes. It's the month of PiBoIdMo-eve!
Don't know what PiBoIdMo is? Check it.
Our 5th anniversary logo, banners and badges have been designed by the kawaii-cutie, author-illustrator Joyce Wan.
So this year's theme is IDEAS TAKING FLIGHT!
WAIT A MINUTE! DID THE BANNER UP TOP SAY 5TH ANNIVERSARY?!
Yep, it sure did. Which means I'll have to come up with something super-snazzy for this year. So how 'bout JANE YOLEN?
Official registration will begin on this blog on OCTOBER 24th and run through NOVEMBER 4th. Watch for it! (It's easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy if you just follow this blog. See left column.) Only officially registered participants will be eligible for PRIZES, like a consultation with a picture book agent!
But you can grab the "Official Participant" Badge NOW and proudly slap it on your blog or social network site. Kindly link it back to taralazar.com/piboidmo so folks know where to join the challenge. You can also grab the "Ideas Taking Flight!" slogan above.
Do you Tweet? Add a PiBoIdMo Twibbon to your Twitter avatar. Just visit the PiBoIdMo 2013 Campaign to upload it.
And here's some adorbs lightbulb balloons! Use them when you're blogging about PiBoIdMo to express yourself!
The only thing that's missing is the PiBoIdMo 2013 merchandise to benefit RIF—like your official idea notebook—so I'll be announcing that soon.
In the meantime, let us know how YOU'RE gearing up for PiBoIdMo. Blog about it or leave a comment below. What are you looking forward to this November?
Me? Tonight I'm hosting one of NJ-SCBWI's PiBoIdMo kick-off parties at the Manville Public Library. Maybe I'll see some of you there? I promise I won't be a zombie.


Venus Smileygal: My Reader's Digest Condensed Books Volume 5!
My Reader's Digest Condensed Books Volume 5!
This is actually one of my treasured gifts since its the first book that was given to me. I finished reading all the stories in the book when I was already in high school because I was lazy and care more of playing toys rather than reading. The stories in this books is great and I learned a lot.


RLC works to make positive change in laws and the legal system in each of its specialist areas of law. Listed below are some of our key areas of focus from years prior to 2018.
Redfern Legal Centre's submission is that the Social Services Legislation Amendment (Housing Affordability) Bill 2017 (the Bill) should not proceed.
Redfern Legal Centre's submission focuses on the impact of policing on the incarceration rate of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Redfern Legal Centre's submission to the Inquiry into Freedom of Speech, makes recommendations and draws on our earlier submissions in addressing the terms of this Inquiry.
Redfern Legal Centre made a submission to an inquiry into domestic violence and gender inequality conducted by the Commonwealth Senate Finance and Public Administration Committees.
RLC has been working with other Tenancy Services and Community Legal Centres to provide information and work to amend new laws currently being debated in the NSW State Parliament. RLC's view is that the Bill should not proceed, and that retaining the discretion of the Tribunal is essential to ensuring fair outcomes for innocent tenants including victims of domestic violence.
Since the introduction of significant reforms to the laws governing consumer credit in Australia, the Credit & Debt team has maintained a focus in its casework on the new responsible lending provisions.
RLC has been active in the project to consolidate federal anti-discrimination laws in Australia. Unfortunately, in March 2013, the Federal Government announced that it would not proceed with the Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Bill, despite recommendations from the Senate enquiry held in January 2013.

The Mid-Hudson Rowing Association gathers teenagers and adults and puts them right on the river for weekly rows from May through October.
Ditch your gym and its view of the parking lot for a workout with a stunning vantage point.
The not-for-profit Mid-Hudson Rowing Association (MHRA) gathers teenagers and adults and puts them right on the river for weekly rows. Head out early in the morning or in the evening before sunset from May through October. Trainees and members must be 18 years or older, but teens who are 14 years or older can join with a participating parent or guardian.
Test the waters figuratively by signing up for a free indoor tank lesson. You'll get an introduction to rowing and decide if it's right for you. No experience needed. Email ltr@midhudsonrowing.org for more information.
The MHRA offers training programs whether you want to learn to row, coxswain (be in charge of the boat) or coach. The Adult Learn-to-Row (LTR) program will teach you fundamentals, including rowing techniques and boat-handling skills. The program is designed for beginners who haven't rowed before, and classes are taught by experienced coaches. While you don't need any experience, you should be in decent physical shape and you must know how to swim.
There will be LTR sessions held in June and July. There are six classes per session and the cost is $150. If you decide to sign up for a membership, 50 percent of the cost will go toward the annual fee. There also will be a two-day introduction to rowing Sept. 14-15. The program starts you off with an indoor tank session before heading onto the river the next morning. Cost is $60 for both days.
Member events are held throughout the year, including moonlight rows, a Mills Mansion row in the fall and indoor tank sessions during the winter to keep you active. Every month, join the post-row boathouse cleanup, then indulge in a pancake breakfast or potluck brunch by the river. Monthly memberships are $165, but there are steep discounts for annual plans.
If you have younger kids who want to give rowing a try, visit the Hudson River Rowing Association at hudsonriverrowing.org. It uses the same boathouse as the MHRA and offer programs for juniors as young as 12.

Got to Play Your Harp Until Your Lips Bleed
They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings
Steal a little and they throw you in jail
Steal a lot and they make you king
I'm the last person who'd normally quote Bob Dylan lyrics at anybody, but those lines from his 1983 song "Sweetheart Like You" have been stuck in my head as of late -- you know, with the world and all -- and so perhaps they were right there for the picking already, and Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre's new film The Mustang, out in theaters on Friday, didn't wholly earn them itself. Still, they reverberated across the movie all the same, and I don't think it's just me looking at Matthias Schoenaerts in a prison uniform and thinking, "What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?"
No cowboy, it's surely more than that. Schoenaerts plays Roman Coleman, a name which elicits some laughs from his fellow inmates for its Rural Juror like mushiness, and sets him apart from the start. Not that Roman needs help -- he's a strange one, that Roman Coleman, keeping to himself and occasionally bursting out in fits of rage. He's an awful lot like the wild horse that just got captured and brought to the prison, actually -- at the facility where Roman is housed they allow the prisoners to rehabilitate and train these creatures, dragged off the plains, for a quick turnaround buck, you see, and Roman finds himself drawn to one particularly rough steed...
And alright, you're groaning a little bit by now, right? I too was worried that the film was going to be so blunt with its metaphor it would leave hoof-prints trampled up one side and down the other of my chest cavity. Wild Man Finds Wild Horse And Together They Tame. But it's funny, as The Mustang begins to pile up its dusty bowls of American West Iconography -- dirty boots and tattered flags, Cowboys and Indians -- around this strange trapped man, it actually wanders into unexpected territory. It's more The Misfits and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, a depressed rumination on a country gone to squalor -- it lives inside a once vast frontier that's found its edges, not so far off after all, boxing itself in. There's chicken wire choking those purple mountains' majesty.
There's a scene around the middle of the film where the prisoners get to take their mustangs for a gallop across the prairies we recognize from old-timey serials onward -- hair wild in the wind, the very picture of Freedom itself. And as the camera pulls back we see everyone surrounded, armed guards on every side. The America of The Mustang is a for-profit-prison stretching in every direction, a Westworld Thunderdome every horizon-long, where we have become the mechanical bulls, bucking like broken robots. Nowhere's as commodified as a strip-mall now, and we're all shoplifters every time we dare to breathe.
Labels: Matthias Schoenaerts, reviews
i've really should store a cut 'n' paste rave for your reviews but: good grief, you're good at them
Wheel said...
But where does it rank on the Schoenaerts sexiness scale?
Jason Adams said...
Thanks, par!
Wheel -- He looks great obviously, and there's a quick shower scene... but it's kind of funny; nobody is naked, all the prisoners shower in their white boxer shorts. But I thought it was sexy in its own way since the shorts are all see-through with wetness. It's like the prison version of a wet t-shirt contest :)

Its message is loud and clear.
The ACLU wants Amazon to stop using surveillance technology.
The American Civil Liberties Union wants Amazon to stop providing its facial surveillance technology, Rekognition, to governments and law enforcement.
The organization's Washington branch on Monday delivered a petition, with more than 150,000 signatures, to Amazon's Seattle headquarters. Addressed to company CEO Jeff Bezos, the petition was signed by representatives from nearly 70 organizations and Amazon shareholders concerned about immigrants' rights as well as privacy and discrimination, the ACLU said in a statement.
"The rights of immigrants, communities of color, protesters and others will be put at risk if Amazon provides this powerful surveillance system to government agencies," Shankar Narayan, technology and liberty director of ACLU of Washington, said in the statement.
Amazon Rekognition relies, in part, on artificial intelligence to analyze images and videos. As a result, "You can detect, analyze and compare faces for a wide variety of user verification, people counting, and public safety use cases," according to the website.
The ACLU specifically wants Amazon "to end its practice of selling its dragnet surveillance system, Rekognition, to local enforcement." The organization in May released emails it says shows how Amazon has been pushing its surveillance technology to law enforcement.
Microsoft also came under scrutiny recently after writing in January that it was "proud" to supply its Azure cloud services, which include the ability to use "deep learning capabilities to accelerate facial recognition and identification" to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE.) Microsoft has since changed its stance, saying they are "dismayed" by the actions of ICE in a statement.
Rekognition is being used in Florida and Oregon, and Arizona and California have expressed interest in the technology, the ACLU said.
Update, 3:00 p.m.: Adds information about Microsoft also coming under scrutiny for facial recognition services.

Special Exhibition 2023 - An outlook
Hunting: The Art of the Chase
Hunting is as fascinating as it is controversial. It is part of the complex web of relationships between people and animals and remains a living tradition in mountain regions. But the feelings it elicits in society are ambivalent. Although humans have hunted animals for food since prehistoric times, many people think that hunting is no longer appropriate in our day and age. We have lost touch with how our food ends up on our plates.
The exhibition focuses on hunting as a social practice handed down through many centuries. Hunters from the mountains tell their stories of the chase, allowing visitors to accompany them vicariously on the hunt. They share their knowledge and their activities, talking about animals, terrain, the right moment to take a shot, and how to prepare the meat. Two photographic projects by Anne Golaz and Alex Ochsner provide an artistic perspective on the art of the chase.
The special exhibition is shown from 14 May in the Granary Hall at Landshut Castle in Utzenstorf.

2022 - Special exhibition - Beautiful Ladies, Noble Gentlemen - Thüring von Ringoltingen, Melusina & Co.
«Beautiful Ladies, Noble Gentlemen - Thüring von Ringoltingen, Melusina & Co.»
After last year's special exhibition gave us an excellent introduction to the legend surrounding the beautiful Melusina and - via the first illustrated Basel print of 1473/74 - to the period of the late Middle Ages in general, this year's exhibition focuses on the life of the translator and Lord of Landshut Castle Thüring von Ringoltingen and the political and cultural conditions in 15th century Bern.
An extended biography introduces us to the life of Thüring von Ringoltingen (around 1415-around 1483) and we can familiarise ourselves with Bernese history and find answers to questions such as: What is a Twingherr and what are his rights and duties? What was the so-called Twingherrenstreit actually about?
We are in the second half of the 15th century in a time of upheaval and change. The invention of printing by Johannes Gutenberg revolutionised the distribution of literature. The first printing of the Melusina novel from the pen of Thüring von Ringoltingen contributed significantly to the enormous popularity of the material.
It is interesting to note that printed and handwritten books and texts coexisted almost equally until after 1500. The exhibition demonstrates this with the beautifully illustrated paper manuscript of the "Bernese Parzival". Wolfram von Eschenbach wrote the famous Grail story about Parzival and the legendary Knights of the Round Table of King Arthur between 1200 and 1210.
Like the Melusina story, this novel was also copied and printed many times. The Bern councillor Jörg Friburger, a fellow councillor of Thüring von Ringoltingen, had the Parzival novel copied and illustrated in a Constance writing workshop around 1467. This manuscript is now kept in the Burgerbibliothek Bern. A comparison between the first printing of the Melusina story and the Parzival manuscript is worthwhile.
A rich accompanying programme with guided tours and lectures rounds off the exhibition, and we encounter again the mystery of the beautiful Melusina in Susi Fux's enchanting musical puppet theatre.
The special exhibition is shown from 8 May to 16 October 2022 in the Granary Hall at Landshut Castle in Utzenstorf.
Please note that the exhibition is in German.

Inspector backs Broughton proposals after planning appeal
A Government planning inspector has granted permission on appeal to two residential schemes in Broughton totalling 220 homes, overturning Preston City Council's refusal after the local authority conceded it couldn't demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
An inquiry into the council's decision to reject the projects took place in February. The applications were from Wainhomes, proposing 130 homes at Keyfold Farm, and Hollins Strategic Land applying for persion to build 97 houses at a nearby site on Sandy Gate Lane.
The investigation from inspector Keith Manning centred around whether the council had an adequate supply of land, whether the proposals clashed with neighbourhood plans, and whether they would cause environmental harm.
On the second day of the inquiry Preston City Council withdrew from contesting the appeals, after being examined and cross-examined over its estimates of the number of the sites available to fulfill housing need in the coming years.
In Manning's decision report, he said that the council conceded that it could not demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites.
He outlined that there had been an under-provision of homes in Preston since 2003, which had accumulated into a backlog of more than 1,600 homes.
"The worst case scenario" of only a little over three years' supply was demonstrated and "very largely accepted by the Council", Manning said.
Despite objections, which largely came from Broughton Parish Council, Manning described the proposals as "well located", with good access to services and facilities. In response to fears about impact on what is a greenfield area, he said that "it should be possible to develop the site in a manner which is sensitive to its location on the rural fringe of the village".
Director of planning at the city council Chris Hayward said: "Upon advice from our Barrister, we took the decision to end our participation in the public inquiry after conceding that we cannot currently demonstrate a five year supply of deliverable housing land, as required by Government policy.
"We continue to have concerns about the Government's policy on housing land supply and the uncertainty this creates, even when there is a recently-adopted local plan in place. We feel that this undermines confidence in the planning system, a view which Preston City Council has already expressed to the Minister for Planning."

Online Store REFUND Why you should buy Dodge Ram accessories
Why you should buy Dodge Ram accessories
With the introduction of the Dodge Ram 1500, the American brand continues to deliver a strong performance vehicle for the home.
However, there are some important caveats when it comes to buying the accessories.
First, there's a lot to consider when it gets to the price point.
The company's line of accessories can be a bit of a gamble for new owners.
Second, it may not be worth the extra money if you don't plan on sticking around.
For example, if you want to upgrade to a more powerful 4.5-liter V6, you'll be better off with an SRT Hellcat, which is rated for 350 hp.
But if you're looking for an all-around pickup, you might want to check out the Dodge Challenger, which can reach a top speed of 210 mph and a 0-60 time of 3.8 seconds.
The Dodge Challenger is available for $34,990.
For more information on how to pick the right Dodge Ram, check out our article on the best Dodge Ram for new buyers.
Dodge Challenger 3.5L V6-powered carThe Dodge Challenger has been around since 2007, but it was only officially launched in 2010.
The car was meant to be the next-generation of the popular Dodge Viper, and it has proven to be a great performer in a short amount of time.
The Challenger 3 was launched in 2016 and comes with a 3.0L V8 engine that's rated for a 350 hp peak torque.
The price is slightly higher than the Viper 3's $37,400, but the Challenger has more horsepower and torque.
Dodge also offers a version of the Challenger that can go up to an alligator-powered 3.7L V10 engine for an additional $10,000.
You'll also get a six-speed manual transmission and leather seats.
It's available in four color options: silver, black, red and orange.
For a full review of the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT-4, check our article.
Dodge Charger SRT3-powered sedan The SRT4 is Dodge's first SRT sedan.
The S4 is a sedan with a base price of $32,000 and a starting price of a whopping $46,000 after a $7,500 option.
The Charger is a SRT S sedan that offers a 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a claimed 332 horsepower.
It also gets a four-wheel-drive system with a six point safety belt and a leather interior.
There are also some interesting features, including a driver-assistance feature that lets you park the car without the assistance of the rear-seat passenger.
The new Charger comes with two options: a three-door package that starts at $35,000, and a four door package that costs $50,000 plus the option to add a rear-view camera.
You can choose between a base model and a sport package that adds a leather seat, an electric driver's seat, a power driver's air bag and a heated steering wheel.
The base model comes with all-wheel drive, and the optional sport package adds heated seats, power driver seats, a heated driver's side steering wheel and a manual transmission.
The top-of-the-line SRT Charger offers the highest performance, best-looking interior, and best-for-the price package in the brand's lineup.
The standard SRT model starts at an MSRP of $37.8 million and the base model starts from $35.5 million.
Dodge Dart 5.0-liter dieselThe Dart is the latest addition to the Dart lineup.
It was introduced in 2018 and has been gaining in popularity ever since.
It features a new turbocharged 4.0 liter diesel engine with an output of 305 horsepower.
You get all-new front and rear seating options and a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that can reach 265 horsepower.
The Dart is available in two engine sizes: the base Dart 6 and the 5.7-liter Dart 8.
The 6.3-liter engine offers a claimed 320 horsepower and is rated at a claimed 200 mile-per-hour (193 km/h) top speed.
You also get an allroad transmission and paddle shifters.
The 5.3 liter Dart is also available in a 7.0 engine and it gets an optional 6.0.
The diesel engines are rated at 350 horsepower, and there are a few powertrain upgrades available to get you even more power.
For the most part, the diesel engines offer the same performance as the regular Dart, but there are improvements to the powertrain, transmission, engine and brakes.
It is worth noting that the diesel is also more fuel efficient than the regular version.
For an up-to-date review of what makes the Dart so popular, check us out.

The 29-year-old Chilean suffered the injury in training on Thursday.
Sanchez is yet to have a scan to determine the extent of the damage but Mourinho said he was "screaming" in pain.
"It is not a little muscular injury from which he will be ready in a week or 10 days," he added.
Mourinho says it is more severe than the hamstring injury defender Victor Lindelof has suffered.
The Sweden international, who was injured in Saturday's home draw against Crystal Palace, is expected to be out until the festive period.
On Sanchez, Mourinho added: "It is an aggressive muscular injury. He has not had a scan yet but the player is experienced. He knows what the injury is.
Mourinho also said he was pleased to see midfielder Marouane Fellaini getting credit for his recent performances.
The 31-year-old Belgium international scored a stoppage-time winner against Swiss side Young Boys on Tuesday to send United into the last 16 of the Champions League with a group game to spare.
"Everyone knows he is not Maradona – but everyone knows what he is and what he can give," said Mourinho.
"He scores important goals in important moments that give you important victories.
"I know the positions he can play and the jobs he can do. Third central defender, striker, number eight, which is where he has more balance and know-how.


Wow, there have been quite a few hits on this website in the past few months (200 hits in the past month alone, which is impressive for a band that doesn't exist anymore). I thought it would be good to update the code, clean it up a bit, and do some updates on what the band is doing now.
JumpStart Records has released a " CD called "Discography" - no self-respecting Readymen fan should be without it - it contains every song they recordd before the Restless CD, and has tracks from the completely unavaliable Chitz Split and Factory 7", as well as the Show Hall Bound CD. Go to their website and order it, get a T-Shirt while you're there, and other stuff.
For 5 years or so, The Readymen were one of Oregon's strongest and best Punk-Ska bands, going on nationwide tours and gaining fans across the country. Just when it seemed they were about to really get big, it came to a stop. It was a good run, but all things must end eventually.
Dustin was always the lead vocalist, Solomon was the original bassist. They took Brendan on as their lead guitarist, and eventually J.P. joined the ranks as their drummer. In this form, they went for several years, cranking out a demo tape, a split LP with a band called The Chitz, a CD (Show Hall Bound) and a 3 song 7" called Factory.
Shortly after the Factory 7" was finished, the band was thrown into turmoil. Solomon - one of the founding members of the band - decided to leave. As far as I understand it, he just decided that he didn't want to devote as much time as was necessary to the band. He had other things planned in his life, and had been offered a good job testing video games, and he took it.
It was almost certain that the band was going to break up at this point, when J.P.'s brother, Alex, jumped in to fill Solomon's sizeable shoes. The Factory 7" was released, and the band continued on.
They released one CD with Alex on bass (Restless), and signed with a new label (having had problems with their previous label). Unfortunately, their label problems continued, and their final tour was largely unsupported by the label - they found themselves without merchandise to sell on the road, which is really how bands support themselves on tour (ticket prices really don't cover much).
The nightmarish tour over, they decided to take a vacation from the band, and everyone went their seperate ways... And never really came back. The band had been through a lot, and although they had a growing fan-base, it was difficult to continue without label support, and the stresses of day-to-day band life eventually took its toll.
Last I heard, Dustin was in New York City. I don't know what he's doing these days, I'll update this as soon as I have more information.
Brendan and J.P. are currently playing in the Brooklyn, NY band The Stockyard Stoics - they've toured the U.S. and Europe, and have a tour of South America lined up as of this writing.
Alex is teaching - I'll get more specific soon.
Solomon's whereabouts are unknown, hopefully he's happy wherever he is and whatever he's doing.
Their currently avaliable CD is the newly released Discography, avaliable from JumpStart Records.. They've also got some stuff on a bunch of comps. To hear a few songs (in MP3 format) or find out more about their recordings and band history in general, click here.

::: JAMMED TAPES SESSION ::: THE PUSSYWARMERS & RéKA – IS YOUR CLAM IN A JAM?
Last summer I met up with Swiss-Italian group The Pussywarmers and their Hungarian-via-Berlin songstress Réka Csiszér in Lugano to shoot a Jammed Tapes session. When I got there, we went to visit an old abandoned mansion on a hilltop they somehow had the keys for. With frescos on the ceiling, a beautiful view of the mountains and the lake nearby it was the perfect place to set up the next day.
The following day, when recording the dynamics quickly changed from an acoustic session to a plugged in, stripped down rendition of some of the songs off their excellent latest release, "I Saw Them Leaving". As the day passed we filmed a few songs with the beautiful location as a frame.
Under The Sea is an invitation to an underwater dream dance where red corals are the trees and multicoloured fish are the birds flying over your head. The moonlight shining under the sea reflecting on tiny grains of sand turning them into stars, the seaweed smoke giving your vision a purple hue.
There Are Always Two Answers is a lovelorn story about different outcomes, a lovesick romance leading to a freakout, a breakdown necessary before getting back on your feet.


London rivals Dillian Whyte and Dereck Chisora each talked up their chances at the final press conference ahead of their heavyweight showdown at the O2 Arena on Saturday.
The pair appeared at the Canary Wharf Riverside Plaza Hotel in front of an expectant crowd to discuss the weekend's action, which will be shown live on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK.
And fight fans will be hoping they can produce another barnstorming bout to match the one they put on in Manchester two years ago.
Whyte, who is trained by Mark Tibbs, is putting his WBC Silver and WBO International belts on the line and goes into the contest with a 24-1 record, including 17 knockouts.
His only defeat came against current multi-titled world champion and fellow Londoner Anthony Joshua and Whyte said: "He won't be pounding me, there's levels to this thing. I'm used to people trying to get into my head.
"I don't think even Dereck himself knows what he is doing. I've had good learning fights and there's still a lot more to come – I'll fight anybody.
"I'll do whatever it takes to get the win, I conservee my energy, I'm relaxed.
Finchley's Chisora, who boasts an identical record of 24-1 with 17 stoppages, added: "I am born again. I gave my life to the Lord. By doing that, I became a better person. My good friend David (Haye) put my through my paces.
"I've rebuilt and come back. I'm in a great place. It's going to be a seek and destroy mission on Saturday.
Tibbs, who followed highly respected father Jimmy into coaching, said of his fighter: "Ninety-nine point nine per cent of the time a good boxer will beat a good brawler. He's not only just a boxer, he's a boxer fighter.
Promoter Eddie Hearn is looking forward to another great night of action, saying: "There's a great narrative for this and we didn't necessarily need it.
"The first fight was one of the best 12 rounds of action we have ever seen. This is the right people are talking about on the streets.
"We will get another unbelievable night on Saturday, there is so much at stake. There is a different vibe.
"They have shared a ring already. Chisora looks unbelievable, the leanest he has ever looked. Dillian has improved, he is punching harder. But can he out-box him?
Rival promoter David Haye added: "Dereck has had opportunities in the past but hasn't capitalised. Experience tells him that he needs to work hard, and sacrifice.
"When he stands on the scales tomorrow, you will see the difference. I have felt his power and presence and ferocity in the ring.
"He realises a performance like he produced two years ago won't be good enough to beat the 2018 version of Whyte. The heat brought to Dillian will put him in an uncomfortable zone.
"He will be let off the leash to do some serious damage. I like the energy and intensity of both fighters. Both teams believe they will win this, but I'm glad to be on Team Chisora.
"Dereck is like a stream train going full steam ahead. This fight can only be better than last time, they're both fitter and faster.

Six States in India Report Outbreak of Avian Flu
January 11, 2021 zenger.news News 0
NEW DELHI, India — With thousands of dead birds found in one region alone, India is facing an outbreak of avian flu in several states.
The Pong reservoir area in Himachal Pradesh has been closed to all activities since 1,800 birds, mostly Bar-Headed Geese, have died of the bird flu. The government has imposed a ban on the sale, slaughter and export of poultry and birds in the district, threatening the livelihood of the local poultry business owners.
"We see cases of bird flu after every two to three years. However, if it continues to spread at the current pace it would adversely affect the livelihood of local poultry farmers and businessmen like me," said Pankaj Sethi, a poultry business owner in Haryana's Panchkula region.
"There has been a complete stop on all sale or purchase of poultry products since 15 days."
Authorities in the states where the flu is spreading have ordered an immediate ban on the sale of poultry products, including bird meat and eggs. Authorities in Himachal Pradesh and Haryana have ordered culling.
Currently, the most affected group are the migratory birds, but this is spreading fast to the local birds and poultry farms, which is affecting the local business" said Sethi.
Haryana state, whose Panchkula district is one of the largest poultry belts in the country with 70-80 lakh (70 million to 80 million) birds in more than 100 farms. Over four lakh poultry birds died at some farms in the district.
Production volume of poultry meat in India.
In Madhya Pradesh, hundreds of crows were found dead. Rajasthan, Kerala, and Gujarat also have confirmed cases of the bird flu, which is rarely passed on to humans and is not related to the novel coronavirus.
As many as six states have been hit, according to the government, which is asking other states to keep a vigil on unusual bird mortality. So far, there have been no cases of its transmission to humans.
"Unusual mortality of 16 birds has also been reported in DDA park Hastsal Village, Delhi. The animal husbandry department of Delhi has reportedly taken precautionary measures and sent samples for testing. A report is awaited," the government said on Jan 8.
"There is no evidence that the bird flu has spread in humans through contact, but we can't rule out the possibility of humans contracting it while disposing of infected birds," said Vinod Sharma, state surveillance officer of Himachal Pradesh from the National Health Ministry.
People from the forest or veterinary departments who have come in contact with infected birds have been kept under surveillance, Sharma said.
"This is the first time we have noticed such a huge outbreak of the flu in the state. Every year migratory Siberian birds bring in Avian flu in the country. They enter North India from Magnolia in the East Asia region from January to March," said Vikram Vashisht, lead doctor on the immediate response team in Himachal Pradesh.
People on the response team are also being monitored for any symptoms related to the bird flu, and 10 kilometers around the outbreak area have been sealed to curb the spread.
"In countries like China, bird flu outbreaks are common. India is vulnerable to bird flu virus outbreaks because of the geographical location," said Vashist.
Since there is no surveillance in border areas, infected poultry is smuggled in, Vashist said. He said transmission of the virus can take place from trucks transferring poultry, contaminated equipment, and clothing of farm workers.
While India has been hit by avian flu several times before this year's outbreak, no human infection has been reported.
Avian influenza refers to the disease caused by infection with avian influenza Type A viruses, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC says these viruses occur naturally among wild aquatic birds and can infect domestic poultry and other bird and animal species, but do not normally infect humans.
"All the states that have reported an outbreak of bird flu this year are testing influenza strains. It is important to note that some strains of the virus are different and more deadly than the others, so we can never completely rule out the possibility of human infection," said Praveen Malik, animal husbandry commissioner in Delhi.
Malik said it is important to respect the poultry ban in the states and take precautions as directed by the local health ministry.

I have been patiently waiting for "The Archangel Jarahmael In Rebellion," to be released since reading "The Archangel Jarahmael and The War To Conquer Heaven In The Beginning," in December. Finally the day comes I have the book, savor it, pace yourself…sorry I have been waiting impatiently and I am not a disciplined girl.
The first chapter sets the pace of events unfolding. Every word intended to engage the readers. The rhetoric good verses evil lines are clearly defined, or are they? Author John J. Higgins methodically refuses to adhere to conventional story lines not allowing you as the reader to unwind and speculate what is going to happen. You become absorbed and vulnerable as you assess each characters execution, ability, and loyalty. I was unable to determine the boundaries between good and bad, love and hate, right or wrong at times. Is it misguided to dedicate yourself to an ideal you inherently believe in?
I felt each repugnant betrayal, I rejoiced with every conquest, restless in light of the uncertainty. Again, the writing, the narrative, makes you inhale every word contemplating and agonizing over each decision made. My emotions went from outrage to near tears on many occasions only to be deceived or elated by the brilliant, ingenious, and talented author.
I do have a major "concern," it happened when I saw "THE END of BOOK II". Wait what about….when will……why is…… I am not a patient or disciplined girl, please I have unresolved issues. I NEED Book 3.

Does Deforestation can contribute to changes in flooding intensity and frequency?
Deforestation has caused mainly from human activities such as fires, illegal land reclamation, pasturing, etc. (Kotoulas, 1980). Deforestation promotes flooding and land degradation and reduces freshwater availability. Forest cover absorbing rainwater and reducing subsequent flooding (Brown et al. 2005). In my point of view, the restoration or creation of forested land help to decrease runoff. Numerous field studies (Robinson et al., 2003) indicate significant flood increases as a result of deforestation. This is attributed to decreased interception storage in the canopy, decreased litter storage on the ground as well as changes in soil related to infiltration capacity. Indeed, deforestation can be associated with a reduction in soil infiltration capacity. This causes more rainfall to runoff over the surface, and particularly where drains and roads enhance the accumulation and transfer of water into the stream, this can increase peak flows considerably. After forest removal if the soil can retain less of the infiltrated water, provided that the excess water rapidly finds its way to the stream. Soil water use rates tend to decrease after deforestation. The removal of trees from a large portion of a watershed, particularly if it involves increases in channelization or impervious surfaces, would increase that area's flooding tendency (Tollan, 2002).
There are numerous factors related to forest cover that have been found to inhibit the frequency and magnitude of flooding. These include a higher infiltration rate associated with forest soil, the ability of forest ground litter to absorb certain amounts of rainfall or snowmelt, and the capacity of the tree canopy to intercept precipitation, thus increasing the time it takes for water to reach the surface (Davie, 2003). It can reasonably be argued that deforestation was part of a process that led to reduced infiltration and greater sediment generation, respectively.
Ferreira and Ghimire (2012) analyzed that there is a widespread belief that forest management can prevent or reduce rainfall-induced flooding. There are three simple items in this regard: First, forests have higher levels of evapotranspiration, and the water that returns to the sky is not available to cause flooding. Second, deforestation is frequently associated with a reduction in soil infiltration capacity that results in more water runoff. In addition, retention of infiltrated water tends to decrease after deforestation. Third, forests are generally associated with lower levels of soil erosion, resulting in less soil filling up streams and rivers which would make them shallower and easier to flood.
Removal of trees is likely to exacerbate severe flooding in developing countries. Bradshaw et al. (2007) investigated country-level data from 56 developing countries on flood characteristics, forest cover, and geophysical characteristics, and concluded that deforestation amplifies reported flood frequency in developing countries.


For more information on these options, you can run "perldoc perlrun".
The perldoc program gives you access to all the documentation that comes with Perl. You can get more documentation, tutorials and community support online at <http://www.perl.org/>.
If you're new to Perl, you should start by running "perldoc perlintro", which is a general intro for beginners and provides some background to help you navigate the rest of Perl's extensive documentation. Run "perldoc perldoc" to learn more things you can do with perldoc.
On Debian systems, you need to install the perl-doc package which contains the majority of the standard Perl documentation and the perldoc program.
Extensive additional documentation for Perl modules is available, both those distributed with Perl and third-party modules which are packaged or locally installed.
You should be able to view Perl's documentation with your man(1) program or perldoc(1).
Some documentation is not available as man pages, so if a cross-reference is not found by man, try it with perldoc. Perldoc can also take you directly to documentation for functions (with the -f switch). See "perldoc --help" (or "perldoc perldoc" or "man perldoc") for other helpful options perldoc has to offer.
Perl was originally a language optimized for scanning arbitrary text files, extracting information from those text files, and printing reports based on that information. It quickly became a good language for many system management tasks. Over the years, Perl has grown into a general-purpose programming language. It's widely used for everything from quick ``one-liners'' to full-scale application development.
Perl's roots in text processing haven't been forgotten over the years. It still boasts some of the most powerful regular expressions to be found anywhere, and its support for Unicode text is world-class. It handles all kinds of structured text, too, through an extensive collection of extensions. Those libraries, collected in the CPAN, provide ready-made solutions to an astounding array of problems. When they haven't set the standard themselves, they steal from the best --- just like Perl itself.
Perl is available for most operating systems, including virtually all Unix-like platforms. See ``Supported Platforms'' in perlport for a listing.

Using the "use strict" pragma ensures that all variables are properly declared and prevents other misuses of legacy Perl features.
The "use warnings" pragma produces some lovely diagnostics. One can also use the -w flag, but its use is normally discouraged, because it gets applied to all executed Perl code, including that not under your control.
See perldiag for explanations of all Perl's diagnostics. The "use diagnostics" pragma automatically turns Perl's normally terse warnings and errors into these longer forms.
Setuid scripts have additional constraints that can produce error messages such as ``Insecure dependency''. See perlsec.
You may mail your bug reports (be sure to include full configuration information as output by the myconfig program in the perl source tree, or by "perl -V") to [email protected] . If you've succeeded in compiling perl, the perlbug script in the utils/ subdirectory can be used to help mail in a bug report.
The Perl motto is ``There's more than one way to do it.'' Divining how many more is left as an exercise to the reader.

Q: What is the difference between CountVectorizer(binary=True) and n CountVectorizer(binary=False) in sklearn I run my script with defining ngram_vectorizer = CountVectorizer(binary=True) and ngram_vectorizer = CountVectorizer(binary=False)
The result of the confusion matrix is different for both. Could help me understand what binary do ?

A: If you set binary=True then CountVectorizer no longer uses the counts of terms/tokens. If a token is present in a document, it is 1, if absent it is 0 regardless of its frequency of occurrence. So you will be dealing with just binary values. By default, binary=False.

Quotations about humility
We have all heard enough to fill a book about Dr. Johnson's incivilities. I wish they would compile another book consisting of Dr. Johnson's apologies. There is no better test of a man's ultimate chivalry and integrity than how he behaves when he is wrong; and Johnson behaved very well. He understood (what so many faultlessly polite people do not understand) that a stiff apology is a second insult. He understood that the injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.

If I thought of man as the final image of God, I should not know what to think of God. But when I consider that our ancestors, at a time fairly recent in relation to the earth's history, were perfectly ordinary apes, closely related to chimpanzees, I see a glimmer of hope. It does not require very great optimism to assume that from us human beings something better and higher may evolve. Far from seeing in man the irrevocable and unsurpassable image of God, I assert — more modestly and, I believe, in greater awe of the Creation and its infinite possibilities — that the long-sought missing link between animals and the really humane being is ourselves!

What separates me from most atheists is a feeling of utter humility toward the unattainable secrets of the harmony of the cosmos. The fanatical atheists are like the slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains which they have thrown off after hard struggle. They are creatures who — in their grudge against traditional religion as the "opium of the masses" — cannot hear the music of the spheres. I prefer the attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and our own being. Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-American physicist
(Spurious / Synthetic)
This quotation is actually a synthesis of several Einstein quotes. It is sometimes attributed as a whole to "Science, Philosophy and Religion, A Symposium" (1941), but only a part is found there. Nor is it found at all in the also sometimes cited "Religion and Science," New York Times Magazine (9 Nov 1930)
The "utter humility" portion is attributed as a letter from Einstein to Joseph Lewis (18 Apr 1953). It was quoted in Walter Isaacson, Einstein (2007). The "fanatical" through "spheres" portion is in a letter (7 Aug 1941) discussing responses to his essay "Science and Religion" (1941) per Max Jammer, Einstein and Religion: Physics and Theology (1999)
The "weakness of our intellectual understanding" phrase is attributed to a letter to Guy H. Raner Jr. (28 Sep 1949), quoted in the Isaacson work as well as by Michael R. Gilmore in Skeptic, Vol. 5, No. 2.
The lame/blind phrase is attributed to a letter to Eric Gutkind (3 Jan 1954). It was earlier used by Einstein (1941) at the Symposium cited above.
This synthetic quotation is a good example of the difficulties in quoting Einstein, who is used as a polemical bludgeon by a variety of groups, and is often poorly or incorrectly cited online, compounded by his re-use the same turns of phrase multiple times in his correspondence and papers.

Sometimes closing a window quits an app. If an app has more than one window — some do, others don't — you need to use File→Quit to quit.
When you open a window, the desktop creates a tab in the taskbar. When you hide a window, the tab stays in the taskbar so that you can click it to show the window again.
The following figure shows a desktop with a handful of windows and tabs. All the windows are hidden, except one.
It's called a desktop because windows are supposed to work a bit like sheets of paper on a real wooden desk. Of course, you can't drag the corner of paper to make it bigger or smaller. And you can't run apps on paper. And you can't minimize paper to hide it. But apart from that, it's a bit like pushing paper on a real desk.
Click on the Taskbar menu, and you can see submenus with all kinds of apps and features. If you've used the desktop on a Windows PC or a Mac, you can probably guess what some of them do.
The taskbar also has quick launch icons. They get special treatment. Icons in the desktop area are often hidden behind open windows, which makes them hard to use, but you can always see the quick launch icons.
You need to know how to use the first three items in the list to get the most value from the Pi's desktop. The last two items are for older Pi users who need help with high school and college math.


Six international postdoctoral positions in the digital humanities are now available at HUMlab, Umea University, Sweden from September 1, 2010 (January 2011 may also be a possibility, please indicate if this is your preference).
The call is open, but 1-3 positions may be allocated to the areas of `media places`, `archeological landscape visualization`, and `internet and religion`. There are no teaching requirements associated with any of the positions.
HUMlab is an internationally recognized center for the humanities and information technology. Much of the work takes place in a 5,300 square feet studio space at the center of the university and in different kinds of digital and hybrid environments. HUMlab is based on a double affiliation model where much of the work is done in close collaboration with the humanities (or other) departments. HUMlab offers an open, friendly, creative and intellectually rich milieu for doing work in the humanities and information technology.
The fellowships are for one year. Applications should include a description of an envisioned postdoctoral year-long project.
