Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and learning disabilities (LD), including Reading Disorder (RD), Disorder of Written Expression (DWE), and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) all co-occur at high rates. Previous research indicates increased neurocognitive impairment in ADHD with the presence of comorbid diagnoses. However, few direct comparisons between intellectual profiles of children with one or multiple ADHD and LD diagnoses are available, specifically for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale Fourth Edition (WISC-IV), despite its frequent and historical use with this population. Profile analysis may contribute insights into spared and impaired abilities. Therefore, the present study addressed these matters by comparing WISC-IV profiles of children with ADHD and comorbid LD. Participants included 301 children with ADHD-Inattentive (n=101), ADHD-Combined (n=79), ADHD-DCD (n=42), and ADHD-RD and/or Disorder of Written Expression (ADHD-RD-DWE) (n=79). Children were 10.2 years old, 69% male, with a Full Scale IQ of 101.5. Diagnoses of ADHD and learning disorders were established through comprehensive evaluations including behavioral symptom ratings, interviews with parents, and neuropsychological measures. Results indicated a significant group by Index score interaction, which was primarily caused by the ADHD-RD-DWE group performing significantly worse (pPRI>Working Memory>Processing Speed). Differences in ADHD presentations were also found, with the ADHD-Inattentive group exhibiting slower processing speed than the ADHD-Combined group. Findings indicate differences in intellectual profiles of children with ADHD and LD as well as ADHD presentations. The combination of LD and ADHD results in unique intellectual profiles, indicating clinical and theoretical utility in distinguishing between these disorders. Further investigation is needed to determine the extent to which these profiles are predictive of academic, social, and behavioral outcomes.

Denver The Last Dinosaur The Complete Series Was Well Worth The Wait
Posted on September 7, 2014 by philspicks

Children's programming today is nothing like it was in its golden era. One quick scan through any carrier's channel lineup proves that. Children's programs of the 80s and 90s actually had heart. They had substance, too. By comparison, that heart and substance is nearly nonexistent in programs aimed at tweens and teens today. Thank goodness some companies out there have stepped up and released those classic cartoons from the golden era of children's programming to show today's youth what real kids' shows look and sound like. Mill Creek has stepped up and released most of the original animated Dennis The Menace series. Shout! Factory has more than stepped up in its own right with planet of classic kids' shows. And now Cinedigm and VCI Entertainment have stepped up and added their own contribution with the release of Denver The Last Dinosaur: The Complete Series. Denver The Last Dinosaur didn't last too long in its original broadcast. It ran for a grand total of fifty-two episodes. But even in that short run, it offered audiences so much enjoyment. And audiences of all ages will see that for themselves when Denver The Last Dinosaur: The Complete Series is released September 16th on DVD box set. The main factor in the overall enjoyment of this series is its writing. As with so many children's series of that era, the writers mixed fun adventures with subtly placed lessons for young viewers. Also worth noting of this box set is the original presentation of the episodes. And last but hardly least of all that makes this set so enjoyable is the companion booklet. The booklet includes not only a full episode listing, but also a short summary of each episode from start to finish. The companion booklet works alongside the full, proper presentation of the episodes and the episodes' writing to make Denver The Last Dinosaur: The Complete Series an absolute must for viewers of any age. That isn't to discount the set's packaging, its bonus interviews, or its bonus cartoons. They are all well worth noting, too. They round out the whole presentation to make Denver The Last Dinosaur: The Complete Series one of the definite best new box sets for children and families this year.
While it might not have lasted nearly as long as some of the other cartoons that made the 80s and 90s so great, Denver The Last Dinosaur was still an enjoyable piece in its own right. The central reason for its success lies in tis writing. WEP president Ted Koplar puts it best in his bonus interview that what really makes Denver The Last Dinosaur work so well is that presented here is a fish out of water story. Denver is for all intents and purposes, an outsider trying to find his place in the world with all of its technology and its mores and values. Even with the series being as old as it is, that theme of finding one's own self and one's place in the world is one to which even today's young audiences can relate. And as Bob Koplar, WEP VP notes, kids can also relate to Denver because he is this figure that gets into so much trouble yet he gets away with it every time. Koplar notes in his interview that every kid wishes that he or she could get away with Denver's antics. That couldn't be more right, even today years after it ended its original run on television. Add in the fact that these episodes have been endorsed by the National Education Association (NEA) for their nonviolent themes and general story, lines, and audiences see even more why the writing behind this series is so important and successful. This is extremely important to consider especially when comparing this classic series to so much of what is available for younger viewers today. Hopefully other parents out there will take all of this into consideration and give Denver The Last Dinosaur a try for the first time or for the first time again when it is released later this month. If the bonus interviews included in this set are any indication, the writing behind this series may very well entertain today's younger viewers just as much as those other programs if not more so.
The writing behind Denver The Last Dinosaur is a solid starting point in the discussion regarding what makes the series' new box set so enjoyable. No discussion on the series is complete without a note on the set's presentation. A slate is included before the episodes noting that the episodes have been re-mastered for this presentation. Those charged with re-mastering the footage are to be commended for their painstaking efforts. That is first and foremost because their efforts resulted in no footage being lost in the process. This means that every single episode from the series' original broadcast has been included in this box set. And every episode is presented in its original video format, too. They haven't been squeezed down. And they are just as bright and vibrant as ever. The audio is just as clear, too. To some the re-mastering of a show's video and audio is a minor issue. But the reality of the situation is that there are some companies out there that don't put the necessary effort into properly re-working various shows to make them appear as they appeared in their original broadcasts. The end result is a product hardly worth the purchase. VCI Entertainment and Cinedigm are not among those companies in this case. It's one more factor that makes the set in whole all the more enjoyable for viewers of all ages. There is still more that has gone into this set making it worth the purchase by any now grown-up child of the 80s, including the companion booklet.
The writing and re-mastering work undertaken by those at VCI Entertainment and Cinedigm are both equally integral parts of the whole that is Denver The Last Dinosaur: The Complete Series. Eve having taken these factors into consideration, VCI Entertainment and Cinedigm didn't stop there. They paid great tribute to the series' original fans in so many ways with this set. Those are two a couple ways in which they did so. Another way in which the companies paid tribute to the show's original fans is in the inclusion of a companion booklet. The booklet outlines the series' entire episode list from start to finish. It shows the set includes the episodes here are presented exactly as they originally ran on television. It also gives a short summary of every episode. This allows viewers to look back and say, "Oh, I remember this episode" or "that episode." So not only does this allow audiences to decide which episode(s) that they want to watch, but it even helps maintain that sense of nostalgia already full established thanks to the full, proper re-mastering of the episodes and the inclusion of every episode. It still isn't the end of what makes Denver The last Dinosaur: The Complete Series such a hit for audiences. There are the bonus interviews, which have been noted in small part already. And there are even bonus episodes culled from other VCI Entertainment collections included as bonus material. They give a glance into other series with which some viewers might or might not be familiar, adding even more of a sense of nostalgia. It makes the set complete and a complete joy.
VCI Entertainment and Cinedigm have gone to painstaking efforts to make Denver The Last Dinosaur: The Complete Series the release that fans of this classic series have wanted for so many years. Needless to say, their efforts were definitely not in vain. The writing proves even to this day to be enjoyable and relatable for audiences of all ages. The painstaking efforts taken to bring back to life every episode of the series makes things even better. And the full, proper episode guide included in the set's companion booklet is a fitting final piece to the presentation. That is not to discount the in-depth bonus interviews and the bonus episodes of other releases from VCI Entertainment. They add their own enjoyment to the set in whole, too. All things considered, Denver The Last Dinosaur: The Complete Series proves in the long run to be a wonderful alternative to all of the material claiming today to be children's programming. It is everything that the series' original fans have waited for so long to hold in their hands and watch on their televisions once again. Simply put, this box set proves itself in the end to be one of the best new box sets for children and families this year.
Denver The Last Dinosaur: The Complete Series will be available on DVD, Tuesday, September 16th.

Over the past couple of years, I have organised 2 tandem charity skydiving events for my local hospice in Yorkshire. The first time I didn't have a clue how to organise it, or how to convince my friends to take part in this exciting adventure. However the Skydive Hibaldstow dropzone, guided me through the process of organising the parachute jump for my group.
In this article, I want to go over some tips of how to make charity skydiving events happen, to help you have the experience of a lifetime.
I'm in my mid 40's and for a long time had wanted to make my first skydive, but had no idea what to do. I wouldn't call myself the adventurous type or even a thrill seeker, however I had heard that ordinary people like me have taken part in something called a tandem charity skydive. That's where you are harnessed to an instructor who takes you into freefall and looks after you.
I made my first call to the office at Skydive Hibaldstow and told them about my idea to do a jump. They asked me a few questions about myself such as whether or not I was healthy and what I wanted to achieve. I wouldn't call myself particularly fit, I certainly don't go to the gym. That being said, they told me I was fine to jump as long as I could get a medical form signed by my GP (anyone over the age of 40 needs one). That was the easy part.
The office then suggested I raise some money for a good cause and I thought that my local hospice would be a great idea. If you raise enough money (double the cost of the jump), then part of your money goes to the charity and part goes to pay for the jump. Arguably, you might say that it is in fact free! I was also told that the cost of the jump would go down as more people who took part so I set about arranging the first of my charity skydiving events.
I had a chat with my friends at work and some old school mates and I initially had a group of 14. Fantastic stuff! So I contacted the dropzone and set a date for July. They then asked for deposits to reserve our booking and that was when things changed a little. Some of the group started to drop out and 14 became 7.
After some advice from the dropzone, I re-contacted those that had dropped out and invited them over for an evening at my house. I showed them a promotional DVD sent to me which explained how the jump worked and how normal people like me were doing tandem jumps all the time. This made a big difference and by the end of the evening I had a group size back to 10.
There are many ways to fundraise for a good cause including sponsored diets, walks, silences and even fun runs. However, I quickly discovered that charity skydiving events are something different, something unusual and friends and family were quick to offer their money.
I put a poster up at work with a photo of someone in freefall and also played the promotion video one lunchtime in a meeting room. My boss said he would contribute £200 to the cause but only if there were proof I had done the jump.
I discovered you can also hire a skydiving cameraman who films you and takes photos during your special day. It does cost about £90 more, but there would be the evidence I had actually done the jump.
As the date of the jump came closer, there were 2 friends of mine who were struggling to raise enough money. Both of them were from small families and were full-time Mum's, so they didn't have the large sphere of people to support them. I suggested they look further afield. One them went to their local pub and organised a fundraising night asking locals to contribute £1 per drink to the cause; the other friend got permission from a local gym to play the promo DVD at their gym reception and that also did the trick.
With all the funds raised, the group went to the dropzone one sunny Friday in July. We were greeted by the reception staff and taken into a classroom to have our training seminar. I say seminar, it only lasted 20 minutes, but that was enough to learn what was expected of us during the tandem jump.
It goes without saying that I was feeling decidedly nervous before I arrived at the airfield, but the briefing helped a lot with that. I also had a lot of sponsors to impress as well.
My instructor was called Jordan and he fitted my tandem harness securely. "Don't worry he said, you're with a professional". I know that sounds corny, but it really felt comforting. Jordan guided me onto a small aeroplane they used (I later found out, it is called a Dornier G92) and I sat down next to 2 other friends in my group.
After what seemed to be only about 10 or so minutes, the instructor tightened all the harness buckles and did his checks. We were the first tandem group to go out and our cameraman opened the door of the aircraft. Looking straight down 15,000ft, I could see the runway strip directly below me.
He gave a "ready, set, go" and out we went. Within I few seconds he gave me a tap on the shoulders and I adopted the basic freefall body position. It wasn't anything like I expected, it was a gentle floating sensation, but very very windy! I quickly realised it was an enjoyable experience and smiled to the cameraman enthusiastically. Snapping away with his camera, we spiralled around and I got a wonderful look at the Lincolnshire countryside falling at 120mph.
After approximately a minute, I felt a rapid slowing down as the parachute gently opened above my head. Jordan said "Did you enjoy that", I replied "Not half, I could get into this sport". Under the open parachute, it seemed like a part 2 of the adventure as we quietly floated back to terra firma.
We landed in front of all the spectators in a large grassy field sliding in on our bums. That was it, I had been returned to the earth safely!
I can comprehensively endorse making your first skydive as a great experience that you won't regret. In the end, I raised over £800 for the hospice. Who knows what I will do for my next thrill-seeking adventure?


Those of us involved in the Performance Management (PM) of enterprise level computing know that the technology is changing rapidly and so are the requirements of PM. Although most of us recognize this rapid change, none of us is entirely sure how to accommodate those changes into our discipline.
These two trends offer many rewards but they also present their own set of problems for the performance analyst. It is important for performance experts to be aware of them and to develop PM strategies accordingly. One thing is very clear: the traditional, centralized, approach to performance analysis and capacity planning is rapidly being eroded as these trends gain influence.
After examining these trends in some detail, you should still be convinced that there is still an important role for performance analysis and PM. That role is prescribed by the current lack of predictable performance when products from different vendors are brought together to support distributed business functions.
This lack of prediction is a source of significant hidden cost that is slowly being recognized by those who have bought into distributed applications such as client/server computing. For PM to be successful in the face of trends like zero-point pricing and autonomous tuning, instrumentation for performance monitoring and prediction need to be enhanced for distributed system development and procurement. The performance analyst is needed more than ever to oversee and analyze such activities as benchmarking, tuning and capacity planning in an environment that is even more complex than that of a monolithic mainframe.
A dominant trend in the global economic marketplace is for software companies to offer new applications for free, and for electronics companies to offer digital gismos at prices that do not permit the recovery of development costs. The financial irony is that these companies either are reaping, or are poised to reap, significant profits. How can this possibly happen?
In the case of software applications Release 1.0 of the new software is made available for free. The new application is passed around on diskette, copied to other machines (piracy is encouraged), or downloaded from the Internet. Favorable reaction leads to further word-of-mouth endorsement which leads to further propagation of the (free) product. This free propagation far outweighs the manufacturing cost of shrink-wrapping packaged diskettes and manuals. At some point, if the technology is attractive, users who have become hooked on that technology are more likely to be persuaded to buy upgrades, related software and long-term support.
Consumer attention is the most precious resource here and therefore the most valuable commodity. This new marketing paradigm is so antithetical to conventional economic theories that if he were alive to witness it, even Karl Marx might've become a capitalist!
One example of how this new economic wave is being ridden is Netscape Communications Corp. in Mountain View, California. In fact, the company was formed around the success of the zeroth product -- the public-domain, Mosaic browser program for "surfing" the World Wide Web.
The first release was imperfect but free! Successive releases, however, do have a price tag and are intended to provide revenue for Netscape and its future product development. Web pirating is oxymoronic since surfing the Web and downloading free software simply broadens the market and inflates demand. So much for the good news; what happens when this economic shift is ignored?
A case in point is the venerable reference work that constitutes the Encyclopedia Britannica. The owners of Britannica are desperately in need of capital because Britannica owners failed to realize they are really in the information business, not the book business. They thought they could maintain a high price tag for the book set in the face of fierce competition from less exhaustive encyclopedia available on the newer dynamic media of CD-ROMs and On-line Service providers such as America Online.
How do you sell the consumer an encyclopedia that costs thousands of dollars when they are getting a CD-ROM encyclopedia for free with their new PC? Worse, books lack the fast keyword searching afforded by digital technology. Britannica survived the American Revolution and the Industrial Revolution but it may not survive the Digital Revolution.
As a performance analyst, you may think you are above all these economic machinations. But look around you. Commodity software and hardware is invading even the most heavily fortified bastions of centralized computing. And it's happening for precisely the same reasons I have just outlined.
This economic trend is creating a paradox for PM. Put bluntly, who needs performance analysis and capacity management when the technology is free? Just throw more "iron" at your performance problems. If you're still unclear about what ramifications this trend has in store for you, consider it from the following perspective.
It is well recognized that a lot of commercially available software has successively poorer performance with each major release. New releases contain bug fixes and new features (identifying which is which is not always obvious). This, in turn, creates longer execution paths to process and greater memory consumption. Would you, as a performance analyst, spend your time studying and solving the performance deficiencies of Windows 95? Unlikely. Why waste time and effort making desktop software more efficient when desktop computing resources aren't scarce?
Desktop operating systems from Apple and Microsoft have re-invented virtual memory -- a well-defined concept in computer science that was effectively studied and solved 30 years ago. The consumer pays for that re-development. The same commodity pressures we see shaping the consumer marketplace are also shaping the migration to open systems. In the "plug-and-play" illusion of open systems, the consumer can choose platforms and applications from independent vendors at the most competitive prices. An unfortunate side-effect of this rush for cheaper technology is that coherent PM tends to be a casualty of this migration process.
Unlike centralized proprietary systems, the platform comes from a hardware vendor while the RDBMS, middleware and applications software come from different software vendors. The net result for an enterprise is that any commercial gain due to commodity pricing is often eroded by loss of control over performance management and capacity planning.
Many of the traditional, centralized approaches to PM are unavailable in open systems because performance instrumentation is very immature and fragmented. Even if kernel-level performance instrumentation was in better shape, it cannot easily be correlated with the performance of the open RDBMS. That information must be gleaned separately from statistics reported by the RDBMS vendor. But there is no consistency among the various database vendors as to how these statistics are reported and what they mean, let alone integrating this information. Therefore, conventional PM techniques are rendered impotent in an open environment.
Open systems platforms use commodity parts, e.g., the same microprocessors as those used in PCs and workstations. The commodity pricing of a microprocessor, however, is primarily determined by its share of the workstation or PC marketplace. The engineering requirements in that marketplace are often the converse of what is required for the commercial database marketplace. For example, working sets of many PC applications is small compared to that required for an RDBMS. The footprint of many corporate RDBMSs exceeds the typical on-chip cache on commodity microprocessors.
Microprocessor speeds are also tending to outpace the speed of commercially available memory controllers. This conflicts with the requirement for the RDBMS to access its own memory caches to service requests from database backend servers. Arguably, for these reasons and others, the die has already been cast regarding hardware technology for open systems. The remaining issues lie with software, generally, and in the RDBMS, in particular.
Zero-point pricing demands that engineers learn a whole new discipline: wastefulness. Time-to-market requires that efficient design be eliminated. That's hard on designers who take pride in writing tight code and building efficient systems but commodity economics demand technological regression.
Now let's turn to Autonomous Tuning. Many of the newer PM products coming onto the market employ some form of software-based agents and knowledge-bases that give the impression of being able to undertake autonomous performance tuning in the sense of so-called Expert Systems. Some prefer to take a more moderate approach. For example, consider the following excerpts from Optimizing Windows NT by Russ Blake.
A major design goal of Windows NT was to eliminate the many obtuse parameters that characterized earlier systems. Adaptive algorithms were incorporated ... so that correct values are determined by the system as it runs.
Windows NT did not achieve the goal of automatic tuning in every single case. A few parameters remain, mainly because it is not possible for us to know precisely how every computer is used.
So, the incorporation of knowledge-bases, production rules, and inference engines, is an emerging technology but it is still very immature for the PM of complex distributed systems. Moreover, we can expect the impact of autonomous tuning to be felt more slowly than the effects of zero-point pricing. It has a number of significant hurdles to jump.
Even the most proficient performance analysts are often forced to devise special experiments, resort to their intuition, draw on folklore and talk to other performance analysts to form hypotheses about performance anomalies prior to taking any action. This kind of diffuse and ambiguous judgment is difficult to convey to apprentice performance analysts, let alone capture it in the structured semantics of conventional knowledge-bases. In this respect, performance analysis is more an art than a science.
Much of the knowledge base for complex PM has a very short life, typically being invalidated with each new release of hardware and software; the latter occurring with the higher frequency. This ongoing informational turnover makes for unattractive maintenance costs in PM expert systems.
If more PM tasks could be handed over to AI systems then reliability (and possibly security) becomes paramount. If a complex decision sequence was incorrectly executed by an AI system, it would be extremely expensive to find the error and then correct it. The more the AI system matches human intelligence, using such devices as self-modifying code, the more difficult it is to "debug" the semantic network.
Nonetheless, even with all these hurdles AI and autonomous tuning will continue to have a growing impact on the way future PM is accomplished.
So far, I have discussed two important trends that, I believe, are seriously reshaping the role of PM in the business enterprise: Zero-point Pricing and the emergence of Autonomous Tuning.
These trends represent a rapid movement away from the traditional PM methods associated with centralized computing. That role was predicated on maintaining and upgrading very expensive, and therefore very precious, computing resources. The new commodity resource is mind-share and capturing it is making ubiquitous, cheap computing products.
But just as software and hardware appear to be getting cheaper and more plentiful, the composition of the business computing is becoming more complex. The new performance issues have to do with the unexpected interactions of independently developed computing products being brought together for the first time in a particular business environment running a wide range of business workloads.
Since the vendors of these computing products are responding to exactly the same time-to-market pressures I discussed earlier, they typically don't consider performance degradation effects in their products at integration or when the end-user's computing environment is scaled up to meet business growth. As a consequence, many performance analysts in operations are often consumed by trouble-shooting new applications. What little performance information is available from these individual products is rendered less effective by distribution of processing across many software layers in many places on the network of the enterprise.
Therefore, I would suggest that performance analysis is a very necessary requirement because performance levels cannot be guaranteed by independent vendors as the computing environment is scaled up to meet greater business demand. But the tools and methods of performance analysis will need to change dramatically to enable accurate analysis; primarily in the area of performance instrumentation (See "Thinking Inside the Box, TPC Quarterly Report, Jan. 1995).
A certain degree of autonomous tuning will become workable and accepted as distributed computing environments become larger and more complex. Only the very simplest administrative functions can be handled by autonomous agents using today's technology but this will mature over the next 10 years.
Overall, we can expect PM to become less operational and more strategic. Because of the unknown performance attributes inherent in such diverse computing products, the importance of doing pilot-studies and benchmarking will be more widely recognized as a necessary precursor to full deployment. From this performance data, predicting the performance impact of scaling up workloads will require performance modeling and capacity planning of the entire network-based configuration. Business enterprises that recognize this as the true goal of PM stand to benefit the most from their investment in distributed computing architectures.
So, the performance analyst's paradox only remains a paradox for those performance analysts who do not recognize the influences that are reshaping their role in the modern business of computing.

Grand Master on the Tercentenary and new Masonic Charitable Foundation
Building enthusiasm
HRH The Duke of Kent looks forward to the Tercentenary as an opportunity to show the non-masonic world how relevant Freemasonry is in modern society
The successful launch of the Masonic Charitable Foundation at the beginning of April is a very significant milestone. The new charity has been formed following a long and very thorough review of how the four central masonic charities operated and how they could work together most effectively.
A fundamental benefit of moving away from the model of four separate charities was to make the message easier to understand about what support and services are available to the many and varied stakeholders.
I congratulate all those involved in achieving this.
The Tercentenary planning is progressing well, with the Provinces and Districts organising their own celebratory events throughout 2017, culminating in the main event at the Royal Albert Hall in October 2017. There is much enthusiasm building for this great anniversary. I see it also as presenting an ideal opportunity to demonstrate to the non-masonic world how relevant the organisation is in society today and that Freemasonry has a long-term future.
After the investitures, Right Worshipful Brother Nigel Brown retired as Grand Secretary. Brother Brown has supported and encouraged my open communications policy and brought both Provinces and Districts to a much closer relationship with Grand Lodge.
He has served the office at a time of rapid change and introduced new initiatives including mentoring and communications, to name but two, aimed at ensuring the future of Freemasonry. On your behalf I wish Brother Brown good health and every happiness in the future.

IS THIS THE GRIM REAPER???
Comments for IS THIS THE GRIM REAPER???
Usually.. hun when we see some sort of messenger from " HELL" it gives us some define.. notice that " death" is coming that person's way, whether good luck or bad luck. It all depends on the " DIVINE" person who created the " UNIVERSE". Jesus has the power to " curse", and damned those who are bad, evil without a " heart". Now.. " KNOCK ON WOOD". I don't know if your mother was a good person, or a bad one. Morals, and values is how God/ jesus Judges people, same with Angels. But.. usually a Grim Reaper is a bad " omen". Same with Black crows, and Aradia.. who's the serpent's daughter. Anything with horns or a demonic figure isn't a good sign. Those are usually symbolic symbols of " hell"/ the " DEVIL". Anything that's a messenger from god.. is more like an ANGEL, or JEsus Daughter, and him loving her like a daughter since he never got to have kids of his own. Doves are symbolic meaning, and Halos are a symbol of grace. Anything that's pure, and glowing is usually a symbol of " good", not evil. But a Grim Reaper.. is a bad " omen". It's a carrier of " death". It's a messenger from " HELL".
Well judging from washing my father's car today, and seeing certain people's spirits I don't like with my " third" eye. I saw the grim reaper behind her back, and it looked just like this. Except.. it didn't have anything on him. Just his ghost.. standing there watching me, and me not telling anyone about it.
Well I don't know what kind of lense it is but it sure is magnified x something. It looks like a professional camera to me.
looks like it! but hard to say if its real.
i would like to think its real but i cant help to think that its not. something about the image just looks a little smokey!
Definately looks creepy to me!

China has severely ramped up media policing since President Xi Jinping took office in 2012, and is increasingly concerned that airwaves and chatrooms should only be filled with government-friendly, "positive" content. Western social media sites including Google, Facebook, and Twitter are inaccessible in mainland China. Only content that passes strict censorship reviews is supposed to be aired or screened.


My visa got approved. I will probably go back to the USA to visit family and friends in late September and come back after the October holiday. I will wait until next year to go to Bali after their rainy season ends. I am not sure where I am going at the end of this year now. I'll have to think about that one.
In the stands, almost touching the net, 66-year-old retired Beijing government worker, Liu Xincheng, stands up, leaving his son sitting, and dances to America's top 40.
He ogles the pretty girls with his binoculars and falls in love with a medal sport that's more like a day at the beach.
"I just get excited to support the players...it doesn't matter what country," he explains.
This, he adds, is just as good as badminton or even karaoke.
The other night I went to Hooters. It was a lot of fun! It is pretty much the same as Hooters in the US. There are some difference though... Besides the big Chinese flag and the ping pong reruns on the TV, the real big difference is the Hooter Girls. They spend more time going around to the tables and singing songs for the customers. Another difference is that you see more female customers here, which is good.
On Saturday night I went out with about two dozen co-workers and friends to a place here called the Cotton Club. One of my colleagues is going back to IBM Norway, so we threw a going-away party for him.
The Cotton Club is pretty new and is really nice. They have a pretty good DJ and a really good band. Everyone had a really good time. Some of the ladies even got me to dance.
On Sunday I went to a singles party. Most of the people there were from IBM, but I think it was setup by the Software Park since there were people there from other companies too. Altogether there was about 90 to 100 people. We started at about 2:00 in the afternoon, and the bar was setup with about 10 large tables.in front of a stage.
At each table there would be 5 or 6 girls, and about the same number of guys. Everyone was given cards that they could use to write down informatin about themselves, such as name, phone number, MSN id, age, company, etc... Everyone got about 10 to 15 minutes to talk to each other, exchange cards if they wanted to, and then there would be some form of entertainment for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Sometimes the entertainment was provided by the staff of the bar, but most of the time it was provided by the guests. Some people sang songs, some people danced, someone even did some card tricks.
The silliest one though was when they asked each table to make clothes for a girl and a guy out of newspaper and then model them.
After the round of entertainment was over with the guys would all get up and go to the next table, where everything would repeated again. This went on until we had gone around to most of the tables.
I was the only foreigner there, so I was kind of a novelty. Luckily there were quite a few girls who could speak some English and I spoke a little Chinese, which really surprised a lot of them. I ended up getting about a dozen cards from various ladies.
Before the party started we were told that there would be a lot to eat, so most of us ate very little before the party. When we got there it turns out there was not much to eat. They provided some small snacks and pitchers of various drinks. The drinks were like coke, sprite, and orange drink with a little bit of alcohol.
I guess they thought everyone would have a funner time if they were a little bit tipsy. A few of asked for water and just drank that. By the time the party ended at around 6:30pm we were all very hungry, so about 10 of us went out for hotpot. It was a rather enjoyable day.
Assorted TV commentators keep opining that the Olympics are all about the brotherhood of man, rather than national ambition or patriotism. But don't tell that to the fanatically nationalist Chinese -- or to Kobe Bryant, the NBA star who is playing with Team USA in Beijing.
In an interview Friday on NBC, the world's most famous basketball player told Chris Collinsworth how he got "goosebumps" when he received his Olympics uniform. "I actually just looked at it for a while. I just held it there and I laid it across my bed and I just stared at it for a few minutes; just because as a kid growing up this is the ultimate, ultimate in basketball." The Los Angeles Laker went on to call the U.S. "the greatest country in the world. It has given us so many great opportunities, and it's just a sense of pride that you have; that you say, 'You know what? Our country is the best.'"
Beijing's ruthless demand for perfection was highlighted when Tan Zongliang was made to squirm on China Central Television after missing out in the men's 50m pistol competition.
Even though it was his first ever Olympic medal, he was harried until he bowed his head and admitted he had "let his country down" for not getting gold.
On Friday night I joined some friends at a pub here in ChengDu to watch the Olympic opening ceremony. There was a very large crowd there, and it was a lot of fun. Everyone was very impressed with the ceremony and the only complaints I heard was that it was very long. You can find pictures of the ceremony here if you have not seen them already.
I think there were a lot of good parts to the ceremony, but I think the kids stole the show. With the multitude of people for most of the shows the few kids really stood out. The first was the little girl who sang a song, then later on their was a girl flying through the air holding her kite (same girl?), then the kids who put the color and smiley face on the ancient painting, and finally there was the boy who walked along-side Yao Ming when the Chinese team came out (I did not know who it was until later... he is Lin Hao, who saved several of his classmates when their school collapsed during the earthquake on May 12th... story here).
The funnest part of the ceremony for me was when they had the procession of nations. We had people from all over the world where we were, and people cheered for their country. We had people from China, the US, England, Australia, New Zealand, Finland, Germany, Russia, etc... I am not sure who was the loudest among us... the Americans or the Chinese.
One of the things that struck me about the different shows during the ceremony was that it demonstrated something significant about China... That is, Chinese always seems to do things en-masse. China has a huge population, so it should not be surprising that when Chinese look for a way to do something they tend to go with options that involve lots of people. For example, some non-Chinese that I talked to were surprised when thousands of people popped out of the falling and rising boxes during one of the shows. Everyone thought there were machines going up and down in patterns, but when I first saw it I could not imagine the Chinese building a huge machine to do that when they could have used thousands of people instead.
I worked from home yesterday. The olympic torch was here in ChengDu, and the route it took through the city went by our office and they had closed that area off. In order to be able to go to the areas to view the procession of the torch you had to apply for permission, and I was told that if you are a foreigner or an ethnic minority not to even bother applying.
Actually, with all of the olympic torch ceremonies in the past I only remember one... that was when Mohammad Ali lit the torch back in 1996. That was rather surprising since he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's syndrome years earlier. Pretty cool.
The crowds of families who had woken their children before 5am for the historic event were pushed out and replaced by bused-in groups of Communist Party members, loyal workers and model students dressed in the uniforms of the torch relay's sponsors, Coca-Cola, Lenovo and Bank of China.

Autonomy Could Make the Uber Sedan a Rare Beast
If there's only a camera, would you get in?
Getty Images / Spencer Platt
Nick Lucchesi
11.16.2016 1:26 AM
They are seemingly everywhere in the American big city: the Toyota Corolla or Prius or Honda Civic or Ford Fusion or Hyundai Sonata. They're black. They're often an Uber or Lyft vehicle. And their days of ubiquity might be numbered.
Ford executive John Kwant is doubtful the sedan-as-Uber (let's pick Uber because it dominates the market) is going to keep its numbers high after the advent of full autonomy. Once there's no need for a driver who acts as sort of a buffer for passengers sharing a ride, people might think twice about getting in the car. There are "human behavior aspects of shared autonomous vehicles" that need to be considered, Kwant says.
"If no one's in there, and there's only a camera, is any of us going to jump in, in the middle of the night, with two or three strangers that we don't know?"
Kwant explained this scenario from a conference room at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Tuesday ahead of the LA Auto Show. In the press days before the show opens on Friday, there are discussions about autonomy and ride-sharing happening everywhere.
"I just wonder how big that market's going to be, relative to the others," Kwant says.
As Ford's vice president of City Solutions, Kwant is always thinking about the "others." That might include Chariot — the shuttle startup Ford recently acquired that has no surge pricing — or Ford bicycles, or ride payment platforms and "journey-planning tools." Ford wants to "connect it all," Kwant says. The company's core business is about selling cars, but it's also directing resources at an emerging transportation services business for fast-growing, densely populated cities where mass transit is overloaded and projected to get even worse. Ford's addressing problems like air quality, traffic flow, and parking.
Ford acquired Chariot, the micro-transit commuter van startup from San Francisco that expanded to Austin in October.
The idea of system-wide services Ford wants to provide were outlined in a 2011 TED Talk given by Bill Ford, the company's executive chairman. Titled "A future beyond traffic gridlock," it offered ideas that Ford has been working on since. Experiments were first, results came next, and the purchase of startups like Chariot is one result.
"There are certain segments that are hyper-competitive right now, like ride-hailing," he tells Inverse. "How many ride-hailing startups are there in the world?"
Kwant wouldn't comment on a competitor, but it might be why Ford hasn't aligned itself with a ride-haling app like its rival General Motors did with Lyft this summer. He instead said Ford is looking for "unique opportunities" both on the supply side to increase ridership capacity. On the demand side, they want to offer people a lot of different ways to travel.

Winston-Salem Open Tournament Preview: "An Incredibly Competetive Field"
Can Andy Roddick rediscover the form that has made him the top American player for the last decade and build momentum going into the U.S. Open?
Can Greensboro's John Isner draw strength from the local support and claim his second ATP World Tour victory of the year?
Can rising young stars Bernard Tomic and Ryan Harrison continue their growth and challenge for the first titles of their careers?
Who else from an extremely deep and talented field will get on a roll and make a run to become the Winston-Salem Open's first champion?
Those are the biggest story lines going into the inaugural Winston-Salem Open, which will get under way with qualifying Saturday at the new Wake Forest tennis complex, followed by the start of the 48-player Main Draw on Sunday.
ESPN tennis analyst Darren Cahill has been kind enough to preview the tournament for winstonsalemopen.com, and he thinks that Winston-Salem tennis fans are in for a week-long treat.
"Obviously Andy will be the sentimental favorite, but anyone can win that tournament," said Cahill, who will team with Brad Gilbert on ESPN2's telecasts of the tournament. "You have guys like John Isner who play their best tennis on hardcourts, and any number of players are capable of winning. I think it's an incredibly competitive field, and I think Winston-Salem is in for a great week of tennis."
All told, 11 of the top 44 players in the latest South African Airways ATP rankings are in the field.
Roddick, of course, has been the top-ranked American for years until being overtaken by Mardy Fish earlier this year. He has 30 career ATP singles titles, including the 2003 US Open. He's long been a Winston-Salem favorite, playing in the Flow Motors Invitational as a teenager and then leading the U.S. Davis Cup team three times at Joel Coliseum.
But Roddick has been troubled by injuries much of the year. First came shoulder problems that forced him to miss much of the clay-court season, and earlier this summer he suffered a strained abdomen. That has dropped him to No. 15 in the latest rankings.
When Roddick lost to Philipp Kohlschreiber in the first round in Cincinnati Monday night, it marked the first time he had played a competitive match since the U.S.'s Davis Cup loss to Spain in early July. He has not won a match since the second round at Wimbledon, when he beat Victor Hanescu.
All that means Roddick will be super-motivated in Winston-Salem, according to Cahill.
"He needs some matches," Cahill said. "He's had a frustrating year with some injuries. This is one of those years I'm sure he wishes he could start over again and be healthy so he could put together some consistent tournament weeks.
"I think Winston-Salem is going to be critically important to him to get some matches going into the Open. So I think you'll see the best of Andy there. He'll need to put back-to-back matches there to build up his confidence and find his tennis legs, which I think we saw were lacking in the third set against Kohlschreiber. He played great tennis for a set and a half and I think he got a little tired, because you can be in shape but once you get into a match situation again it's a different feeling. So he needs to get his tennis legs, and it's going to be an important tournament for him.
"Under normal circumstances, if he had a couple of good tournaments in Canada and Cincinnati and got a bunch of matches, Winston-Salem would not be a priority. But it is a priority for him now. That's why I think Winston-Salem should be excited, because you know you're going to get the very best out of Andy."
Isner has moved back up in the rankings to No. 27, on the strength of a solid summer. He won on grass at Newport last month and then advanced to the finals in Atlanta before losing in three sets to Fish.
"It's a great tournament for John, and great for the people there," Cahill said. "He's a helluva nice guy, fun to watch play. Not many guys of his height and stature can execute the way he does. I always enjoy watching John play. When he plays his tennis and is healthy and feeling good and cracking his forehand and obviously serves the way that he can serve, he's always difficult for anybody to beat. That's why nobody likes to play him."
The youngsters, 18-year old Tomic and 19-year-old Harrison, are bona fide stars of the future and they come to Winston-Salem looking to continue their climb up the rankings. Tomic, who advanced to the Wimbledon quarterfinals, is currently ranked No. 61. Harrison, who advanced to semifinals in Atlanta and Los Angeles for the first time in his career, is No. 78. Both were well out of the Top 100 when the year began.
"I think these two kids are stars of the future and are at the top of the next generation coming through, along with (Milos) Raonic," Cahill said. "You've seen glimpses with Harrison making the quarterfinals at Atlanta and Los Angeles, and Tomic making the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. This is a great opportunity for them with a strong field, and also an opportunity for them to continue to build their ranking. I expect to see bigger and better things from those two guys for a long time."
Others in the field include No. 18 Jurgen Melzer, No. 22 Alexandr Dolgopolov, No. 31 Nikolay Davydenko, No. 35 Kevin Anderson, No. 39 Juan Monaco, No. 40 Marcos Baghdatis, No. 41 Tommy Robredo, No. 42 Sergei Stakhovsky and No. 44 Dimitry Tursunov.
Cahill puts them all in the category of having legitimate chances to win the tournament.
"Those players are all quality tennis players," Cahill said. "They're all capable on any given day of beating anyone. So I expect a tournament that's incredibly competitive. It should be a great week of tennis. Being a first-time tournament is going to make it special, and having such a strong field the week before the US Open is a huge bonus."
Also in the field are long-time greats James Blake and Lleyton Hewitt.
Blake has long been a favorite of Winston-Salem tennis fans because of past appearances here as a member of the U.S. Davis Cup team. He had a perfect 6-0 record in singles in U.S. victories over India (2001), Spain (2007) and France (2008) at Joel Coliseum. He owns 10 ATP World Tour singles titles and comes into the tournament at No. 84 in the latest rankings.
Hewitt owns 28 singles titles, including the 2001 US Open and Wimbledon in 2002. Going into this year he had won at least one tournament in each of the last 12 years, which gives him the longest current streak among active players. He has been hampered by injuries much of the year and that has dropped his ranking to No. 165, but he's fit again and looking forward to next week.


Help Desk Manager careers are built on a foundation of communications and strong relationships. It is important to quickly build relationships and collaborate with key stakeholders of your support department to be successful. A new Help Desk Manager needs to have clear lines of communication with at least 4 key stakeholder groups their new department interacts with. These 4 key stakeholder groups for a Help Desk Manager are your boss, the customers you support, the staff that report to you, and vendors you have contracts with. Understanding the stakeholder group's perspective of the support your department provides is very important. This perspective will tell you what is working and what is not. A stakeholder may raise an issue of something not working correctly, however they most likely will not know the root cause of issues they raise. All items raised should be logged, researched, and if applicable have a solution implemented. This will help you uncover real or perceived issues. Timely feedback on the status of this investigation is critical. For vendors it is important to be very familiar with the contract, contracted services and ensure you have processes in place to measure their performance.
Remember your boss also has a boss who expects solutions and results. It is critically important to understand your boss's short term and long term goals, objectives, and priorities. This will allow you to set your department's goals, objectives, and priorities that are in alignment. Setup a method to track your progress against completing your department's goals, objectives, and priorities. When providing updates and communicating with your boss, understand the method your boss like to communicate. Some people prefer email updates while others like in person. It is always a good idea to include the baseline status, recap the improvements made, and then provide details of how the improvement made to the business.
Meet with your boss to set your department's goals, objectives, and priorities as the new Help Desk Manager.
Discuss with your boss any issues with your department.
Setup an agreed method to report your progress addressing issues and status against meeting your department's goals, objectives, and priorities.
Try to secure a reoccurring scheduled 1:1 meeting with your boss. A weekly meeting with a set agenda is preferred.
Customers of a Help Desk can be internal departments, external companies, or the direct public. Most of the following information is based on internal departments as your customer but these principles can translate into external support with slight modifications. As a Help Desk Manager, keeping the customers happy, productive, and informed is a top priority for your department. It is your job as a Help Desk Manager to ensure the customer service meets or exceeds your customer's expectations. You must ensure customers receive proactive and timely communications about significant changes or outages that will impact their area. Agreeing with customers on expected levels of service is critical for success as a new Help Desk Manager. For example if your customer expects a new printer order to be fulfilled within 3 business days and your team thinks 5 days are reasonable, you will not meet customer expectations most of the time.
Identify your customer groups and setup introductory meetings with leaders from each group. If you have external customers, you may have internal account or service delivery managers to meet with.
Have your customer identify their most important or mission critical applications or services. If you have external customers this information can be found by looking at ticket trends.
Determine how well your team is fulfilling the services by investigating your ticket metrics of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Ask your customer what are the top things they recommend to be changed or improved. It is also important to ask what things are performing well and should not be changed.
With the gathered information, agree with your customer what the most critical improvement actions should have the highest priority.
Try to secure a reoccurring scheduled meeting with leadership of the customer groups. A monthly meeting with a set agenda is preferred.
Your staff is concerned with their pay, schedule, work environment, career opportunities, and recognition of their efforts. The want to feel appreciated and if they do not, morale, productivity, and employee engagement will be negatively impacted. To keep staff engaged, you and their direct supervisor must meet with them regularly. This means meeting with staff individually and as a team. As a new Help Desk Manager, it is important to create positive energy in the work environment by obtaining input from the staff on what issues are present and acting on it. Many companies use an outside consultant as the initial meeting facilitator to create a safe and confidential environment. Staff will be more comfortable confiding with an outside consultant and will improving the detail and accuracy of the information gathered. Once you have the compiled input from the staff, the results should be shared and discussed with the team. The discussion should lead to recommendations to correct issues. Then meet with the department leadership to discuss issues and recommended improvements. Come up with a priority plan to implement the approved improvements. Continuously communicate the issues, improvement plan, and implementation status to the staff.
Setup reoccurring monthly team and individual contributor meetings. Weekly team meetings and monthly individual meetings are recommended.
For your initial meetings, compiled a list of issues and proposed solutions.
Secure agreement and buy in from your boss and staff on the proposed solutions.
Prioritize the list of solutions, define an implementation plan, and assign projects and tasks.
Communicate status of your improvements with accurate metrics and data to your stakeholders.
Vendors must be actively managed and have clear lines of communication, so it is important to be engaged. Start by reviewing the current contracted agreement between your company and a vendor. Understand the who, what, when, and how specified in the contract. The agreement will have very important information specifying the service they provide and should have measurable targets identified. Analyze performance reports and determine what areas of improvements are needed, including the actual performance report data. Once you have a good understanding of the agreed service targets in the contract and performance, it is time to reach out to the vendor account manager. Have scheduled status meeting and ensure that you receive good performance reports.
Review vendor contracts related to your department and any performance reports provided by the vendor.
Document any gaps in service, areas of concern, and information needed in the future.
Meet with the vendor account team. Discuss gaps in service, areas of concern, and information needed in the future.
Establish a reoccurring meeting with each vendor to discuss performance and improvement initiatives. Preferably schedule a weekly meeting.
To build and advance your career as a Help Desk Manager, it is important to quickly build relationships and collaborate with key stakeholders and have clear lines of communication. All issues raised should be logged, researched, and if applicable have a solution implemented. Timely feedback on the status of this investigation is critical. Follow these steps to build a world class department for your company and be a successful Help Desk Manager.

Január
 01.23. - Gyékényes: MÁV M62 4:52-kor a Gyékényes-Kavicsbánya bejárati jelzőjénél tartózkodó 80200 sz. tehervonatba 52 km/h sebességgel hátulról beleütközött a Csurgó felől érkező 80252 sz. tehervonat. Négy kocsi kisiklott, a mozdony alaposan összetört. A balesetet a térközőr okozta, ugyanis az Porrogszentkirálynál lévő térközjelzőt szabad elhaladást engedélyező állásba állította anélkül, hogy meggyőződött volna a 80200 sz. vonat beérkezéséről Gyékényes-Kavics-bánya állomásra. A pálya 10,30-kor szabadult fel, addig autóbuszokkal bonyolították a forgalmat. A Somogy expressz és a Szombathely pécsi gyors kerülő útirányon át közlekedett.

A mozdony elején utazó két vasúti dolgozó a helyszínen meghalt.
 06.16. Kiskunfélegyháza: Bzmot 051 12:20-kor az E75-ős út kereszteződésében az állítólag nem működő fénysorompónál vonattal ütközött egy Szegedről Kiskunfélegyházára tartó, gyermekjátékokat szállító bolgár pótkocsis kamion. A motorkocsi kisiklott. A mozdonyvezető és rajta kívül hét utas 8 napon belül gyógyuló sérüléseket szenvedett. A kamionban kb. 150-, rakományában 80-, a vasúti szerelvényben 300-, a fénysorompóban 30 ezer forint kár keletkezett.

Az előzőleg ellopott IFA gépkocsit a tolvajok a sínekre tolták és ott hagyták. Személyi sérülés nem történt de a mozdony szolgálatképtelenné vált és jelentős volt a forgalmi zavar is. A felsővezeték leszakadt, két oszlop kitört.

Szeptember
 09.06. - Kaszaháza: Bzmot 4:45-kor a Zalaegerszegről Zalalövőre tartó személyvonat második kocsijának ütközött a becsehelyi TSz. repcemagot szállító pótkocsis IFA teherautója. Vezetője valószínűleg elaludt. A motorkocsi kisiklott és a pályán keresztbe fordult, a vonat két másik kocsija csak kisiklott. Az elsodort IFA kidöntötte az egyik fénysorompó árbócot.

Október
 10.12. - Veszprém: M62 14 rakott kocsi futamodott meg az állomásról az alátétfák elhelyezésének elmulasztása miatt és ütközött az állomás felé tartó tehervonattal.

Q: disable (note hide) vertical scroll when the modal is open When the modal is open, it is not ideal to keep vertical scrolling. Thats why in the useEffect of my component I did this:
if (state.modal) {
  document.body.style.overflow = "hidden";
  document.body.style.paddingRight = "17px";
}

return () => {
  document.body.style.overflow = "unset";
  document.body.style.paddingRight = "0px";
};

Although, it hides the scrollbar, now the problem is, the browser is moved because of scrollbar hiding and show.
so that, I want to keep the scroll bar but disable it when the modal is open.

A: Here is a way of solving this. hope it will work.
on your useEffect do the following:
if (state.modal) {
  document.body.style.position = "fixed";
  document.body.style.width = "100%";
  document.body.style.overflowY = "scroll";
}

return () => {
  document.body.style.position = "static";
  document.body.style.overflow = "unset";
};
