Most Australians were unfamiliar with Ukraine prior to the missile shooting down Malaysian Airlines MH17.
38 Australians amongst the 298 passengers were murdered when a Russian mobile rocket launcher destroyed this civilian airliner flying over Eastern Ukraine.
The Joint Investigative Team, in which Australia participated, reported in May that the Buk-7 from the 53rdBrigade of the Russian army crossed into disputed Ukraine from the Russian Federation. Both then and now Russia and its leader Vladimir Putin have displayed a cruel indifference to the Russian Federation's role in causing these tragic and unnecessary deaths of citizens from around the world, including the 38 Australians.
The United States, the United Kingdom and Canada have responded to Russia's increasing international aggression with a democratic, legislative response called the Magnitsky legislation. These laws link Russian and other authoritarian countries' corruption and human rights abuses with bars on visa entry, the moving of funds and receiving family education. Partially as a response to Russia's insolent indifference to the murder of our Australians by their army, I am moving an Australian version of the Global Magnitsky Act as a Private Member's Bill next Monday in the House of Representatives.
International lawyer Geoffrey Robertson argues, "Magnitsky laws are national laws that allow a government to apply targeted sanctions on any individual involved in human rights violations, from senior officials to low-level officers, from judges to policemen and even non-government actors such as CEOs and contractors. They take the form of asset freezes for funds held in banks and other financial institutions, as well as bans on visas for entering the country." (Australian Quarterly Oct-Dec 2018).
The first "Magnitsky Act" was passed in the U.S. during the Obama presidency in 2012. It was specifically aimed at Russians who engaged in serious human rights violations and corruption.
It provided for the U.S President to designate perpetrators who would be placed on the "Magnitsky List" and then be subject to sanctions, such as them travelling to the U.S. and freezing their assets in the U.S.
Instead of the Russian government going after the corrupt officials, the government pursued Magnitsky and Browder. Browder escaped butMagnitsky was arrested, jailed and died in prison pending trial.
The idea of pushing back on authoritarian regimes like Russia was synthesized by Browder, "Criminal justice is based on jurisdiction: One cannot prosecute someone in New York for a murder committed in Moscow. As I thought about it, the murder of Sergei Magnitsky was done to cover up the theft of $230 million from the Russian Treasury. I knew the people that stole that money wouldn't keep it in Russia. As easily as they stole the money, it could be stolen from them. These people keep their ill-gotten gains in the West, where property rights and the rule of law exist. This led to the idea of freezing their assets and banning their visa here in the West.
Following democratic pressure to extend the Magnitsky laws, the United States passed a "Global Magnitsky Act" in 2016 called the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, which allowed corrupt abusers in any country to be placed on the "Magnitsky List" and be subject to targeted sanctions.
Other countries, such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have passed their versions of Global Magnitsky Acts. Australia should adopt its own "Global Magnitsky Act", so that Australia cannot be considered a safe haven for corrupt human rights violators from overseas. I have drafted a Private Member's Bill which will be submitted to Parliament next week. It allows for regulations to be passed that would impose sanctions on such violators preventing them from travelling to, trading with, or holding assets in, Australia.
"If this [Global Magnitsky Act] becomes law, it will have a profound ripple effect, because mere listing of some of the most well-known human rights violators in authoritarian states like China will send a powerful message to low ranking officials that their criminal actions will not be immune to international scrutiny, condemnation and consequences.
So, for instance, a future Australian Magnitsky Act could ban Xinjiang Communist Party viceroy Chen Quanguowith his monstrous plan to incarcerate 1 million Uygurs in concentration camps. Enacting a Global Magnitsky Act will protect fundamental human rights of the oppressed and save the lives of people, including in Burma, Dafur, North Korea or Syria.
It is now time that Australia joined this growing international movement and adopted its own Global Magnitsky law. The more countries that adopt such laws, the more jurisdictions that can potentially be made out of bounds to individuals involved in shooting down planes over the Ukraine or murdering journalists inside embassies or corralling and abusing Uyghurs in concentration camps or expelling and killing Rohingyas or mass killings in other places like Darfur and Srebrenica and so on and so on. Vladimir Putin hates these laws, not so much because they could potentially target him directly (something unlikely given international relationships) but because they could be used to target his cronies and helpers, such as the jailers and corrupt officials responsible for Sergei Magnitsky's death, and thus make them more unwilling to do his bidding.
Additionally, for countries that have Magnitsky Acts, the ability to ban foreign human rights violators and often corrupt from visiting and having dealings, investments and access to a country's financial system, means that a country is better armed to protect the security of its economy and its citizens from the actions of the violators.


Directed by Darren Aronofsky ('Requiem for a Dream' (2000)), 'Black Swan' is an ambitious psychological horror film promising to submerge the viewer into the world of classical ballet, game of sexual seduction and pure psychological delirium, but has it delivered?
In 'Black Swan', Natalie Portman plays Nina, a ballet dancer in a respected dance company headed by Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel). Leroy is to stage a new production of 'Swan Lake', and chooses Nina as his Swan Queen. Although Leroy is sure that Nina can dance the beautiful, fragile and innocent White Swan, he is not convinced that she can dance the Black Swan, who is a confident, strong, seductive and lustful 'twin' of the White Swan. There is also another ballerina in the company, named Lily (Mila Kunis), who seems to fit the Black Swan image perfectly. She is more in-tune with her sensual nature and is more relaxed on stage than Nina. There is also Beth Macintyre (Winona Ryder), a retiring ballerina, who is both the source of Nina's inspiration and a warning for her. As Nina's debut in 'Swan Lake' approaches, Nina's domineering mother (Barbara Hershey) exert more and more pressure on her, and Nina's acquaintance with Lily produces some unexpected results, leading to Nina's rapid physical and psychological breakdown/metamorphosis.
Firstly, it is interesting to explore the film's main themes. 'Black Swan' portrays the devastating effects that immense pressure and high expectations can have on an individual. The heroine in 'Black Swan' seems to undergo a psychological 'burn out'. Tracy states that a burnout is 'a general wearing out or alienation from the pressures of work'. High levels of stress and perfectionism can cause such a state, and in some cases it can result in the individual losing their 'sense of reality', sustaining a nervous breakdown and even becoming schizophrenic. This is Nina's diagnosis as she starts to experience vivid auditory and visionary hallucinations followed by instances of paranoia (here one can draw parallels with Polanski's 'Repulsion' (1965)). The diagnosis of a dual personality disorder is also not ruled out, because Nina seems to switch from one personality to another during her performance in 'Swan Lake'.
Another dominant theme in this film is more on the symbolic side. This is the idea of an 'evil twin', an antagonist with 'radically inverted moralities' to the main character, but usually resembling the main character physically. This is not an original or new idea, and plenty of literature has explored it already – from RL Stevenson's 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hide' to Dostoevsky's poem 'The Double'. In 'Black Swan', there are occasions where Nina sees her doppelganger. The ancient belief is that seeing one's doppelganger is inevitably followed by some tragedy or misfortune, and is generally considered to be a bad sign. The role of the 'evil twin' in this film is played by Lily, who resembles Nina physically, but is very different from her on a personal level. As the film progresses, however, Nina starts to share the attributes of her twin more and more, and this psychological process is completed upon her full physical and mental metamorphosis. Hence, the predominant use of mirrors throughout the film, emphasising the duality of a person and the mirage of perceived reality. At some point during the film, the evil twin is also murdered, as it often happens in the 'evil-twin' stories, where darkness or light takes control over the counterpart. More often than not, however, evil twins are simply unmasked or banished, reminiscing Dumas's novel 'The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later' part three 'The Man in the Iron Mask'.
However, despite these exhilarating themes, 'Black Swan' fails to achieve the standard of a great movie. As with 'The Fountain' (2006), Aronofsky sets his goals too high, and fails to meet the expectations. The director wants to address many issues with one film: commitment, obsession, professional and personal rivalry, mental health, etc., and desires his film to be too many things, i.e., 'Black Swan' is supposed to be a combination of a psychological thriller, drama and horror. By chasing various things, Aronofsky ends up nowhere, losing a lot of substance and a chance to forge emotional connections with his audience along the way. 'Black Swan' is emotionally "empty", and, when the credits finally roll out, one has this feeling that something great was missing from the movie, and awaits for some Part II to begin. In short, Aronofsky's 'Black Swan' and 'The Fountain' both try to impress on psychological/philosophical levels, but their ambitious nature is the only thing that deserves the ovation. In both films, what the audience observes is the beginning and the end, with the middle – the very substance of the film – seemingly cut out. One way in which the film might have acquired some substantial meaning and emotion was by incorporating David, 'the Prince', more into the story. While Leroy does a good job of a "dark horse" in pursuit of an innocent victim, his interactions with Nina act more as an accessory, rather than the main part of the story. It would have made greater sense for David to fall in love with Nina, only to be seduced by Lily. That way, Nina's life would mirror the 'Swan Lake' ballet story, making her hallucinatory downfall even more pronounced.
Interestingly also, both in 'Black Swan' and in 'The Fountain', the main characters are full of ambition and hope, but achieve their aim only at the too high a cost. In 'Black Swan', Nina strives to be the perfect success, but loses her sanity as a result; while in the 'The Fountain', the main character, full of hope for eternal life, reaches his aim by drinking from the Fountain of Life, only to be destroyed by the Tree of Life. The same thing, incidentally, happens in Aronofsky's 'Requiem for a Dream'. There, the heroine achieves her aim of becoming slimmer, but only at the expense of turning into a drug addict.
Moreover, realism does not seem to be Aronofsky's stronger points. In 'Black Swan', ballerinas fall during live performances and they are hailed as a success; and ballerinas are allowed to have huge tattoos over visible parts of their bodies; not to mention another dozen or so ballet inconsistencies.
Another negative aspect of 'Black Swan' is Natalie Portman. Setting aside the fact that Portman does not look like a ballerina at all (she is too short and looks 'stiff'), Portman performs the role of a ballerina without the required grace or passion for the profession, but, probably, only a person involved in the world of classical ballet can spot the difference. Portman looks like she only belongs on the set of 'No Strings Attached' (2011) or maybe even joining her friend Kunis on the set of 'Friends with Benefits' (2011); the word 'fake' is, unfortunately, written all over her skilful performance. It neither rings genuine nor true. On the positive note, however, other actors' performances in 'Black Swan' are excellent. Barbara Hershey in her role of Erica Sayers, Nina's mother, shines, as does Winona Ryder in the role of Beth Macintyre. The new-comer Kunis also does a very good portrayal of Lily, Nina's rival. Vincent Cassel's performance deserves special admiration. Cassel portrays Thomas Leroy very convincingly, with just the right portions of charm, ruthlessness and masculinity. Tchaikovsky's beautiful music, borrowed by Aronofsky, is another thing which carries this film to a finishing line. Clint Mansell's score composed for the film is also very good, fitting into the brooding atmosphere of the picture perfectly.
Well-written analysis of Black Swan. This movie disturbed me, but I thought it was excellent. It showed how obsession with perfection can result in a mental breakdown. A professor once told me that all writing comes out of other writing, and I think this is true with film. There are no original creations. Everything is influenced by something that came before it.
Thank you! Well, I agree that "all writing comes out of other writing", but when it comes to Aronofsky and his "making" of films, it is simply shocking to me what he does in terms of borrowing details, compositions, structures and characters from other movies. I know of no other director/scriptwriter who does such a blatant copying of other work so it can be included in his own. Even if we ignore Black Swan's so evident reliance on Perfect Blue – in virtually everything from characters and story to small details, what about Aronofsky's recent film Mother!? His film Mother! is nothing more than the conglomeration of his previous films + The Exterminating Angel (1962). Aronofsky even had the audacity to use Rosemary's Baby poster as his own. Insanity.
Thanks for pointing out the typo. I wrote these reviews 6 years ago. I should go back and look at them again.
Those are very good insights about Aronofsky. I was not aware of his "borrowing" from other films. And I haven't seen Perfect Blue. I started watching The Exterminating Angel, but due to chronic eye strain, subtitled films are hard for me to watch.

A lot of you have been asking about my running program and what types of running sessions you can do to improve your fitness. So I've put together this blog for you to answer these questions!
My training involves a combination of both running + strength work; including functional body weight exercises, interval-style running, plyos, HIIT, heavier weights in the gym & middle distance running.
I run because I love it! But it's also great for my overall cardiovascular fitness, maintaining a healthy weight & my mental health #endorphins #stressrelief. Plus I love being outdoors in the fresh air & sunshine to train too.
My runs vary each day but I have three running sessions, which I've outlined below, that I do regularly to improve my fitness.
1:1 Recovery* for all runs. Record all split times.
*1:1 means your rest (stop) for the same amount time that it took you to run each split.
I do this session on a set of stairs that is ~50-100+ stairs.
*For Time means as fast as you can.
Disclaimer: these runs are what I currently do for my training & I am providing this for informational purposes only. Consult your health care professional. By voluntarily undertaking any exercise displayed on this website, you assume the risk of any resulting injury.


More links for "Palit GeForce GTS 250 Green 1024MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card"
I've had this card for around six months now at the time of upgrading my system from a single core Intel P4 3.4GHz with an NVidia 6800 AGP card and 2 GB of RAM to an AMD Phenom 965 quad core at 3.4Ghz, 4GB 1066Hz RAM and this Palit card.
All was well, but about a month ago, demanding 3D applications (games) would sometimes have their vertices transformed to totally wrong positions, temporarily causing "spikes" and making the games look awefull. I updated mobo BIOS, re-installed OS, downloaded latest drivers aswell as trying older ones from NVidia and Palit's drivers, cleaned the system from dust, checked temps of gpu under load (all OK), PSU is a decent 750W corsair... to no avail. I then underclocked the GPU now using VTune and all is good again. I won't be buying cheap cards in the future.. but I was skint at the time and this seemed like a bargain.. a massive speed increase from my old creaky NVidia 6800 :D .. PS With this puppy, I can run stuff in 1920x1200 with no problems.
Bought this card today and being a total novice at upgrading was Very surprised at how easy the install went. This card is fantastic! I upgraded from a Evga 320mb card and the difference is blistering fast and silky smooth. OC reception staff were very helpful as always 10/10. Have played CODMW2 and the beta of BFBC and its blown me away how the increase in graphics can change the game play!. If your going to buy a budget card this is the baby.
I've had this card since Christmas and it's an absolute beast! Just got access to Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Beta and it runs everything on full with no drop in frame rate whatsoever. 5Stars all round!
Well I put my hand in my pocket and recently bought two of these babies. Oh WOW what a difference one card makes compared to my old 8600 GTS. He he he lol. Had a bit of difficulty understanding the very poor manual, but even the one on the disc was no help. It does not state any where that you MUST supply the grafix card with TWO power connections. After phoning the guys at OCUK, they put me right and they work amazingly well. Thanks to all at OCUK for their invaluable help. If you want two grafix cards and don't want to spend the whole of your savings, I suggest buying these. You will have fun.
I wasnt expecting this kind of performance. Previously owned a 8800gts 640mb. Crysis at 1920x1080 on very high settings 4x AA is very playable. Fairly quiet as well. HDMI out is a nice touch too.
Just put this in to replace my old 8800 gts and went in without any bother. it plays Grid and Batman at max settings at 1680x1050, so I'm v pleased. My only annoyance is the fact that the card has to be powered by 2 6-pin connectors which is odd as I thought this was a low consumption card. Not a biggie as (mentioned below) they include a molex to 6-pin connector should you only have 1 6-pin connector from your PSU. Overall it's a great card for the money.
great card for the price plays near anuf all games on high to max settings with a little o,c and can run on 400 watt psu for the budget gamers , just over all and fantastic value!
Great budget card. Plays the following on full with no lag! CoD4, CoD:WaW and GTA4.
I just got me 1 of these to replace an aging 7900gt. Being only 85quid, well thats just amazing value for a 9800gtx+(250). Idle temp 43C(downclocks). Max temp hit 64C @ 35% fan speed. No goodies included with this one. I'm very pleased with this card, WoW has never dropped below 30fps even in heavy AOE in 25man raids. This has to be the best budget card on OCuk. 5 stars.
baught one of these for a buget system. i play arma2 , wow and some RTS. it has played evrything on full so far with no frame loss what so ever even arma 2 on very high. for the price u realy cant fall off.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2016
Gerald's Journal
The Life of an Everyday Hero
by David McElhinny illustrated by Teri Firtos
A gentle, observant boy with special needs records his ups and downs at his new school in this lively, journal-style children's book.
How does a kid fit in when he leaves his special education school behind to attend a general education school? That's the dilemma faced by a boy named Gerald, who writes down his feelings and observations as he makes his way through his first uncertain, friendless days: "When I am writing, I can take my time and say things just right," he says. He experiences loneliness, and for a time, a bully calls him "dummy" and "retard" and plays mean tricks on him. But readers shouldn't expect pathos (or bathos) here. McElhinny (Storm, 2002) has created a thoughtful, funny character who's rooted in the love and support of his family and is naturally considerate of others. He does his best to make sense of his new circumstances even though he misses his old school, where "Everybody always wanted to play with me." McElhinny doesn't specify what exactly makes Gerald "different," but the text reveals that he's pulled out of class for speech therapy, reading, and gym time with other special needs kids. (He also loves pizza, movies, Frisbee, superheroes, playing the saxophone, and fishing with his grandpa.) In the end, due to his own good nature and a few fortuitous occurrences, he wins friends who appreciate him for who he is. The author gives Gerald a genuine-feeling narrative voice, which is further enhanced by the book's black-and-white journal design that features kidlike printing with misspelled, crossed-out words, as well as stick figure drawings, on ruled paper. A deep understanding clearly informs this story, and this is underscored by McElhinny's dedication of the book to his own son, who he says "makes this world a better place just by being himself."
A notably perceptive chapter book that invites empathy and understanding through the words of its engaging young narrator.

It looks like I'm working in LO 4.2. I checked my preferences and they are set to having CC set to on.
I don't have the freedom to keep posting files. I have 2 week intervals that they will do this, so it makes it hard to test. What I have done is changed the videos I do have in the program to the default controller. When I publish it and open the home file on my desktop, I do see the CC tab and it is set at "on." I have asked if they will replace my file to test this. I am waiting on a reply.
I do appreciate your assistance with this!
Thanks for the clarification Deb, I understand that since you're not the one posting the file, it does make the testing a bit harder. Let me know what you see when they do change the file.
In the meantime, are you able to test this link on my side and let me know if you are able to see the captions?
Yes, I can see the CC in both Chrome and Firefox when I open your link.
Is this solely a Lectora Online issue? I use Inspire and am encountering a similar issue. Captions (WebVTT or SRT) appear in Preview and Preview in Browser mode (and can be toggled on/off), but when published to SCORM, no captions and no option to turn them on.
I just got a link to my latest posting and I am still not seeing the CCing in any browser, yet I saw it in the file you exported and posted. Could it be an issue with the server, how it is being uploaded, or something on our end blocking this feature?
Has there been a solution for this? Closed Captions work fine in preview in browser but when published they are not there – or at least the control to turn on English Subtitles. In the code only one LI has been added for "None". I have tried using all 3 formats for captions, as well as turning captions on by default. None of these things make a difference. This issue seems to be on both Inspire 17 as well as 18.
I am having a similar CC problem as well. When I publish in HTML the CC works in all browsers however when I publish it in SCORM the CC button does not appear in the video interface. I have the "Use Web Accessibility Settings" checked in the Title Options menu, and I am using the default interface for the video – which is the only one allowed for accessibility.
What format are you using for the CC? For me I was able to get it to work using VTT. For whatever reason SCORM did not like SRT. Also make sure you are viewing on a server.
I am using WEBVTT for captioning and publishing to SCORM1.2. So that doesn't seem to be it for me.
Solved – at least for me.
I have been testing all day trying different variations and I finally got the CC button to work on our Pathlore LMS. I was using WEBVTT for the CC which I had read is recommended for use in Lectora. I tried using XML instead and it worked immediately. Thanks mraines for your suggestion, SRT would not work on mraines LMS but VTT did, and for me VTT did not work but XML did. I guess the takeaway is LMS's don't like certain files for Closed Caption – try until you find one that works.

Nearly polar opposite from the heavy sea-like conditions of just 24 hours ago. Almost flat and less than 3mph headwind during first leg (1.6km sprint to cliffs). Cruised along the cliffs taking some pics then along Yamada (Malibu Beach) before trying to sprint into some <0.25meter swell but all but one of five attempts proved to small to even catch a bump for a short ride. Despite having the very small swell at my 7 o'clock, I labored during the paddle home as a result of two days of hard paddling, surfing, and extremely difficult conditions followed by a mile sprint to the Maeda cliffs today. Shoulders could use a break from the 120 sq in extremely stiff surf paddle I have been using during my last 6 sessions (in seven days). Look forward to paddling the more flexible and less torquing Quickblade Kanaha Elite Carbon Race paddle until the next typhoon brings some surf.
Hey Anthony...the rocks are actually petrified coral. Petrified Coral can be found near an elevation of 400 meters on the island. The highest point on Okinawa is Mt. Yonaha (~503 meters).
Looks like some fun downwind conditions. Nice photo.
Yess and full of jellyfishes...!!!
Last of the Typhoon Goni swell...Very Challenging conditions.
Paddled directly into 1+meter swells 1-2 seconds apart and a 5-8mph headwind for one kilometer then rode parallel to the swells for 0.3km before catching a 1/2 dozen 1-1.5m waves. Almost as challenging paddling back home though I took a route closer to shore on the account of darkness (twilight): less wind but swells ranged from perpendicular to my 7 o'clock as well as some significant bounce off the sea wall to my starboard (right) side -- some washing-machine action required I power through most of the way home. Glad to have increased my fitness level during the last month.
Thank you for the positive reinforcement. Definitely a session that validated my efforts to significantly increase my paddle fitness during the last few weeks. A month ago I wouldn't have taken the board out as the ocean can be quite unforgiving of those who either stretch beyond their limitations and/or don't account for changing conditions. Thanks again for the motivating comments.
Great photos! Looks like a very fast flat-water area (and board).


LED lighting is used to illuminate specific areas of a commercial space. For example, LED directional lighting may flank an art piece mounted on a wall in order to accentuate its features and details for the viewer or audience. The same concept is used in a commercial space to highlight a product.
An LED light in a jewelry display case, a merchandise window of a clothing retail shop or an end cap display in a retail store guides the customer's eye to a product.
It creates a suggestive emphasis that stimulates the unconscious to make a decision to focus on the product the business is currently promoted for sale.
LED commercial lighting also has the advantage of using a lower level of energy compared with standard fluorescent lighting. The LED light bulb also lasts longer. The savings can be translating to higher overall revenue for a business utilizing LED lighting.
The key to using LED lighting is merchandising strategically to highlight one product or a key product in each merchandise category that has a theme for a target customer or has a unique selling proposition.
A business's marketing strategy may guide which products to highlight, and the LED Light Panel can support the overarching plan.
Lighting design is also important for rendering a balanced visual concept that appeals to the target customer's eye and showcases the business brand consistent with its design reputation and image.
An LED Light Panel or acrylic edge-lit LED panel is a decorative light that can display a logo of a business or product on the wall, which can promote a marketing campaign with a lighting display.
LED lights do not burn out, but instead slowly fade. Replacement is necessary when a bulb operates at about 70 percent capacity. Purchasing all LED light bulbs at or about the same time will help manage replacement maintenance.
Hiring a lighting architect or merchandiser to plan a revamp of the store's lighting experience can create an opportunity for a release of new merchandise or a new marketing approach.
When gradually implementing an LED lighting concept, routinely select a product to highlight and create a display and install accompanying LED lighting. Eventually, LED will replace all traditional fluorescent lighting schemes in your commercial space.

Google has accidentally unveiled the brand new looks of their popular web based email service – Gmail. The video explaining the new looks and features was made public on Google's very own Youtube, before it was made private. Google later confirmed that the video is indeed real and the public announcement will be made soon.
The look and feel is very close to that of Google Plus interface. One of the cool improvements shown in the video is that the new Gmail interface will automatically adapt and resize to any browser window size that you prefer.
Another useful improvement improvement is in the way the email thread conversations are shown. They now look more like chat conversations and greatly improves the readability. You can even add the profile pictures if you like.
If you have been using Google Docs, you would know about the Display density settings. The same comes to Gmail now. Clicking on the options button on top right will lead to additional display density options. The default comfortable setting uses big margins and whitespace areas between posts which users can reduce by switching to the cozy or compact display density options.
This is a simple yet much asked for feature in Gmail. Users can now drag around and adjust the height of chat window and the labels list on the left sidebar.
Custom Gmail themes have been a huge hit ever since they were introduced. Google has taken them to the next level by introducing high resolution background images to make your Gmail experience more colorful.
Gmail is known for its unified search box at the top. Google has now updated the search to let users use the filters like From, To, Subject, attachments, date as well as words. You can even create new filters right from the search box.
Gmail is yet to announce the availability of the new interface, but we expect it them to start rolling it out very soon.


LOS ANGELES - March 7, 2018 - PRLog -- MtB Entertainment's artist Marcus Christ has just signed on to do his latest show at the Airliner on Thursday 4/12/2018. Marcus Christ completed a show a few weeks ago at the Lexington, and he is looking forward to his next performance. He has continually apologized to all his fans for the inability to give them the show they were waiting for last year due to legal issues, and he is happy he finally made up the show. The next show is at a well known venue called "The Airliner" where Marcus Christ hopes to perform his new single, "Shorty Wanna Gangsta", "If I Knew", and "I Didn't Think" live in a 15 min set!!
Marcus Christ is still working with Afton LLC for the booking of this show. Most people now are wondering what Marcus will do on stage this time. Marcus Christ's videos and interviews are now being featured on Zevo Tv, Skilly Magazine, and Triple HQ along with other blogs and radio stations where they are becoming more popular. Marcus Christ released. "If I Die Tonight" and about 5 more music videos/singles after that. Some songs are new, some are redone, some are undone, but they're all hits. Marcus Christ is still financing a small radio campaign to bring awareness to his new singles. Marcus Christ says, "I think this new show will help make up for the mishap at The Lexington last year, and I'm hoping my next show at the Airliner will be an event well worth the wait".

Q: Create region from set of lines and arcs I have a shape that is a knuckle plate with two holes cut in it, thus:
center1 = {0, 0};
center2 = {8, 0};
radius1 = 4;
radius2 = 3;
arc1 = Circle[center1, radius1, { -1 angle1, 2 \[Pi] + angle1}];
arc2 = Circle[center2, radius2, { -1 angle2, angle2}];
endpoint1 = {x1, y1};
endpoint2 = {x2, y2};
tangent = {endpoint1, endpoint2} /.
   Solve[{(endpoint2 - center2).(endpoint2 - endpoint1) ==
      0, (endpoint1 - center1).(endpoint2 - endpoint1) ==
      0, (endpoint1 - center1).(endpoint1 - center1) ==
      radius1^2, (endpoint2 - center2).(endpoint2 - center2) ==
      radius2^2, (endpoint1 - center1).(endpoint2 - center2) >
      0}, {x1, y1, x2, y2}, Reals];
angle1 = ArcTan[tangent[[1, 1, 2]]/tangent[[1, 1, 1]]];
angle2 = ArcTan[tangent[[2, 1, 2]]/tangent[[2, 1, 1]]];
bores = Circle[#, 1] & /@ {center1, center2};
Graphics[{arc1, arc2, Line[tangent], bores}]

I want to be able create a region which is defined by the perimeter of the knuckle plate subtracted by the holes. I started to do this and ran into problems:
plate = RegionUnion[arc1, arc2, Line[tangent]];
platemesh = BoundaryDiscretizeRegion[plate];
Graphics[{platemesh}]

This gives errors such as "There is not a boundary representation that uniquely defines a region with region dimension 1 embedded in dimension 2". (Note that I am hoping for a general answer that would work for any set of connected lines and arcs, not just a convex shape.)
Note on potential duplicates:
Solutions that involve ConvexHull are not applicable as explained above
Solution from a related post:
Polygon@points[[First@Rest@FindShortestTour@points]]

Involves flattening of the line segments into discrete points, which for a complex set of paths could be complicated. Ideally, I am looking for a solution that computes the region using the paths as the primary inputs without having to break those paths into more primitive objects.

A: I am using all your definitions, except for bores, which I modified to use Disk instead of Circle:
bores = Disk[#, 1] & /@ {center1, center2};

RegionDifference[
 DiscretizeRegion@RegionUnion[
   Disk[center1, radius1],
   Disk[center2, radius2],
   Polygon[tangent[[1]]~Join~Reverse[tangent[[2]]]]
   ],
 DiscretizeRegion@RegionUnion[bores]
]

Imagine Earth (blue point) and Venus (pink/magenta point) revolving in a common circular orbit with the Sun at the center (origin/pole). Imagine that for every 1 orbit of Venus, the Earth completes 2 orbits in the same time period ("coeff" slider). Press the "animate" button to see this in action. Click on the "trace" checkbox to see the interesting geometry that forms from the segment drawn between the two planets throughout their orbits. Now press the "Venus" button, which alters the settings to reflect more accurate ratios of orbital radii and periods for Earth and Venus. Again, press animate (with "trace" on) and see what interesting geometry results. Do you see how the 13:8 orbital period is reflected in the geometry? Play with the other settings to observe how they affect the geometry.

Our Vision for St Lawrence church.
The Christian life, both for the individual and for churches, is a dynamic one. The Bible speaks of a journey, a race, and the coming of a new Kingdom. The apostle Paul sums it up well when he says that in his own Christian life he is 'pressing on towards the goal' of a more complete relationship with God.
In order to experience this dynamic life, we need to know where we are going. A statement of vision can help by pointing the way forward, focusing our activity, and reminding us what we are about.
There are three aspects to these imperatives of Jesus Christ. The first is to Know God through a personal relationship with Him. The second, which follows the first and is a response to knowing God, is to Show His Love to those around us - both within and outside the fellowship of faith. The third thing - the great commission - is outward-looking. The call to 'make disciples' involves both spreading the good news of the gospel so that people may come to know God for themselves, and also encouraging one another to deepen our own knowledge and love of God. It is a call to Grow His Church.
These themes, taken form Jesus' words form the Vision Statement that we are using as a way of focusing our ongoing ministry at St. Lawrence Church.
We hope that these words will help us to keep following Jesus, and to focus our energies and plans on his ministry, now and in the future.

My experience living with the Mentawai people in the Indonesian rainforest influenced me deeply: their intimate understanding of and harmonious relationship with the tropical forest changed my life. When I returned from there in 1994, I searched for a way that I could help them and soon realized that they were facing a problem shared by most indigenous groups worldwide. As a result, I planned and led the highly successful CASKE2000 expedition to attract global media attention and sensitize people to indigenous issues. By January 2001, it had evolved into a lifelong calling to educate people about native cultures and assist traditional communities�and Native Planet was born!
Born in France in 1966, I spent two years as a guide in the Mountain Commando Elite Special Forces of the French Army. I immigrated to the United States in 1987. Over the next five years, I worked at Microsoft Corporation, but my thirst for adventure; extreme sports and travel; and a lifelong interest in world cultures led me to Asia for a seven-year adventure. I trekked in the Himalayas, explored the jungles of Indonesia and lived for six months with a family of Mentawai shamans secluded on the island of Siberut. In 1994, I spent three years in Japan, learning the language and the intricacies of that culture.
My fascination with indigenous cultures began early: at age ten, the adventures and cultural documentaries of Jacques Cousteau were my strongest inspiration! I felt that my talent in extreme sports and experience as a world explorer could help foster global awareness of the beauty of and the need to protect indigenous cultures so, from 1998 to 2001, I led CASKE2000, a 3000-mile kayak expedition between Mexico and Panama. Both the public school curricula developed from it and the great interest of scholars from around the world in the team's online journals contributed to its great success. The book detailing our adventures, �Native Planet, The Book�, will be released soon.
I am a professional photographer and a writer, with membership in the ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers); my photographs have been featured by the National Geographic Society, Marie Claire, Paddler, Blue, and Texas Monthly in the U.S., and in several magazines throughout Japan and Central America.
Photos from my expeditions have also been featured in educational curricula, children's books, textbooks and museum exhibits. My online documentaries have appeared on NativePlanet.org, BigChalk.com and LearningOutfitters.com. Nonprofit organizations from around the world, including the United Nations, have purchased my images to promote their humanitarian and/or cultural projects.


We have specious rooms and a large open plan interior with a pool and ocean view. European design touches and lots of large windows and doors create a modern airy interior that is still welcoming. Three bedrooms, one with a king size bed and the others with single beds. Spacious modern kitchen.

"Our weapon is public opinion"
Posters of the women's suffrage movement at the University Library
By Fred Lewsey
One of the largest surviving collections of suffrage posters from the early twentieth century are housed in Cambridge University Library's famous tower.
This month, a selection will go on display for the centenary of the 1918 Representation of the People Act – the parliamentary act that finally gave some women the vote.
Most of the posters were sent directly to Cambridge University Library in a single bundle somewhere around 1910. The brown parcel paper in which they arrived was discovered in 2016. Addressed simply to 'the Librarian', the wrapping revealed the sender to be Dr Marion Phillips.
A leading figure of the suffrage movement as well as the Women's Labour League, Phillips would go on to become Chief Woman Officer for the emergent Labour Party and win the parliamentary seat for Sunderland in the 1929 general elections.
This poster was one of the most popular of the suffrage campaign. The artist, Duncan Grant, was a prominent member of the Bloomsbury Group of British painters, and came joint first in the Artists' Suffrage League competition with this submission.
It is unknown why Phillips sent the posters to Cambridge. The Sanskrit scholar C.M. Ridding, Girton graduate and member of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, was working at the Library at the time – the first woman to be employed there – and may have encouraged the delivery.
Moreover, the then Librarian, Francis Jenkinson, was known to value "unconsidered trifles" such as flyers and postcards. He gathered a vast collection of this 'disposable literature' during the First World War.
While it is now relatively commonplace for contemporary ephemera to be preserved for posterity – the University Library collected local campaign materials during the EU referendum, for example – for such items to survive from a century ago is rare.
"These posters are fantastic examples of the suffrage publicity machine of the early twentieth century," says Chris Burgess, exhibitions officer at the Library.
In 1909 the Home Secretary, Herbert Gladstone, ordered that imprisoned suffragettes who went on hunger strike should be force-fed. In this poster, produced in 1914 for the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), artist Alfred Perse captures the horror of the process.
"They were created to be plastered on walls, torn down by weather or political opponents, so it is highly unusual for this material to be safely stored for over a hundred years."
A selection of the posters will go on display at the University Library from the 3rd February to commemorate this month's centenary of the Representation of the People Act 1918, which gave the vote to women over the age of 30.
"All the organisations mentioned on the children's bibs were linked to the major political parties of the day. And the campaigning activities of all were underpinned by women's work. The poster argues that this support should be withdrawn until women too, could participate at the ballot box," says Library exhibition officer Chris Burgess.
Some posters were for national use; others must have been taken from the Cambridge campaign, including one inviting local women and men to 'come and sign the voters' petition' at the city's St Luke's School on Victoria Road.
Visitors to Cambridge in the early 1900s would have found suffrage stalls on the market, local organisers paid by the national campaign, and even a permanent suffrage shop on Bene't Street selling pamphlets and tea services, says Dr Lucy Delap from the Faculty of History.
Delap, who specialises in feminist history, points out that the first women's colleges at Cambridge – Girton (1869) and Newnham (1871) – were set up to be a "bedrock" part of the women's movement. "These colleges hosted some of the most active suffrage societies among their student bodies," she says.
The University, however, was far from progressive. A vote in 1897 to grant women full degrees was not only lost, but effigies of women were torched by jeering crowds of male students. Even Girton College had at least one anti-suffrage society, says Delap. Shamefully, women were not allowed to become full members of the University until 1948.
Listen to Dr Lucy Delap talk about Cambridge's women's colleges and suffrage.
In cities such as Cambridge, suffrage campaigns deliberately foregrounded women in academic dress. One poster depicts a woman in gown and mortarboard caged up with a "convict" and a "lunatic": reminding well-to-do Fellows that their educated wives were still lumped in with society's dregs.
Other posters in the collection Phillips sent to the Library clearly targeted working-class women in textile factories, or making ends meet as seamstresses. "The majority opinion in the UK was against women's votes. The suffrage movement definitely had to reach out to many women," says Delap.
"Campaigning went far beyond the simple equality message to point out how the vote could make a difference in households, at work, on the streets – matters that concern all women."
As one poster boldly states: "our weapon is public opinion," and to win hearts and minds the movement was at the forefront of innovations in media at the time – with print production central to much of the ground campaign.
"People would be cranking out handbills to be distributed the same day through networks of sash-wearing volunteers, or printing posters advertising meetings taking place that evening," say Delap.
"The movement adopted techniques from the tabloid press – the so-called 'yellow press' – using great big headlines, foregrounding visual material, whether photos or cartoons."
Delap describes the suffragists as media-savvy political campaigners. "If you have the visual juxtaposition of a women in academic dress who's five foot tall getting arrested by a burly policeman – that is a picture that's going to work for the press. They understood that, and were among the first to exploit it to the hilt."
Listen to Dr Lucy Delap discuss come of the approaches to publicity adopted by the suffrage movement.
"Here John Bull, the personification of England, grapples with children and housework who represent the big issues of Edwardian Britain. The poster argues that if women could vote, then society's problems might more easily be solved for the benefit of everyone. Political propaganda of the period separated into what was thought were women's and men's issues (to some extent it still does)," says Chris Burgess.
The exhibition features poster imagery by the Suffrage Atelier, founded in 1909 as 'an arts and crafts society working for the enfranchisement of women', and the Artists' Suffrage League, which worked to support the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies from 1907.
These were networks of both professional artists and ordinary women and men, producing visuals for items such as postcards and ceramics to be distributed across the country and sold in suffrage shops.
"There's an entrepreneurial as well as creative side to the movement – getting the message out though every medium they can as well as making money for the campaign," says Delap.
"Often suffrage imagery showed women with agency demanding the vote. However, this woman, a lone home-worker, seems not to be demanding the vote. Instead, we the viewer are asked to give democracy to her, in order that she can improve her life," says exhibition officer Chris Burgess.
Some posters explicitly call for 'law-abiding' meetings. Delap explains that the movement became divided on tactics, as many felt the continued denial of rights forced more drastic action.
"There were militants who were willing to break the law: smashing windows, destroying golf courses, burning buildings – in fact, one building in Cambridge was torched by suffrage protesters, on Storey's Way."
"There were also non-violent actions that broke the law: refusing to fill in census, refusing to pay tax without representation – a range of creative tactics," says Delap.
"But just to stand on a box in the marketplace, as many women did, is an act that ruptured the status quo and put women's bodies in the front line: provoking public fury, peltings with rotten vegetables and even police brutality. To be a female suffrage activist of any kind was a militant act."
Listen to Dr Lucy Delap discuss some of the types of protest deployed during the Edwardian suffrage campaigns.
This poster depicts Mrs Partington, a familiar figure from 19th century British political satire, attempting to stem progress with her mop. "The use of caricature demonstrates how suffrage artists were using icons and symbols that would have been familiar to viewers," says Burgess.
Next year will mark 150 years since the founding of Girton College, the first Cambridge College dedicated to the education of women. Over the next two years, the University Library will conduct research on its other treasures of women's history, hosting events and exhibitions.
During this time, Lucy Delap and others will be coordinating efforts to replace some of the longstanding and overwhelmingly male artworks displayed across collegiate Cambridge with art produced by women.
Their ambition is for every college and department to have its own area dedicated to female art. The Library will re-hang much of its art with works reflecting the past and present of women at Cambridge.
"It would be wonderful to see art produced by women celebrated more widely at Cambridge, and recognised as another side of feminist activism," says Delap.
Listen to Dr Lucy Delap discuss possible lessons from the Edwardian suffrage movement for today's feminist activists.

The IEEE International Workshop on Multi-Provider Network Slicing and Virtualization (MPNSV'17) will be held on July 3-7, 2017 in Bologna, Italy along with the 3rd IEEE International Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft 2017, sites.ieee.org/netsoft). Network Service Providers today are limited in maximizing usage efficiency of their resources and limited in revenue generation capability from rigid service offerings which often take up to 90 days to provision. Market fragmentation has resulted in a multitude of network operators each focused on different countries and regions. This makes it difficult to create infrastructure services spanning multiple countries, such as virtual connectivity or compute resources, as no single operator has a footprint everywhere.
The MPNSV'17 solicits original contributions that collectively provide a comprehensive picture of recent advances in multi-domain network softwarization, including associated platforms, technologies, applications, and methods. The MPNSV'17 workshop aims to capture the latest research and experiment on cross-domain orchestration of services over multiple administrations or over multi-domain single administrations. MPNSV'17 will feature technical paper, keynotes, tutorials, and demos and exhibits from world-leading experts representing operators, vendors, research institutes, open source projects, and academia.
Authors are invited to submit only original papers (written in English) not published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers can be up to 6 pages (long format) or 4 pages (short format). Papers should be in IEEE 2-column US-Letter style using IEEE Conference templates and submitted in PDF format via JEMS at: https://jems.sbc.org.br/. Papers exceeding these limits, multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized papers will be rejected without further review. All submitted papers will be subject to a peer-review process. The accepted papers will be published in the MPNSV Workshop 2017 Proceedings and appear in IEEE Xplore®.

When it's cold and snowy outside, it's second nature to wear a scarf, heavy jacket, and snow boots. However, for most people, putting on sunscreen isn't part of their winter ritual. Even though the sun may not appear to shine as brightly in the winter months, it is still emitting ultraviolet rays, the type of invisible radiation that causes sunburns, premature aging, and skin cancer.
Summer is considered the high season for ultraviolet radiation, but the sun's UV rays are still quite strong in the winter months. In fact, certain winter-related factors can actually amplify the strength of ultraviolet radiation. For example, snow can reflect up to 80 percent of UV rays and altitude can increase UV strength by 10 to 12 percent. Even on cloudy days, 80 percent of UV rays can still reach the ground. This means that regardless of the day's forecast, people should always wear sunscreen anytime their skin will be exposed to the outdoors.

Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer, as it is characterized by cancerous growths originating in the basal layer of the skin. The majority of melanomas are brown or black in color, but they can also appear skin-colored, pink, or red. The key to preventing the spread of cancer to other parts of the body is recognizing the signs of melanoma and seeking early treatment .
Usually, moles and other skin growths are harmless. However, anyone with more than 100 moles is at a greater risk for developing melanoma. For this reason, it's important to be very familiar with your skin and learn to recognize any changes to the shape or size of your moles. If you were to draw a line through a particular mole and the two halves don't match, then it has an asymmetrical shape and is a sign of melanoma.
Melanomas tend to have uneven borders, with the edges being scalloped or notched in appearance. Ordinary moles, on the other hand, tend to have a consistent, even border.
A mole with varying shades of brown, tan, or black is a warning sign of melanoma . However, melanomas can also be red, blue, or white in color.
Though melanomas may appear smaller when first detected, they are usually larger in diameter than the size of the eraser on your pencil. This means a melanoma is usually larger than 1/4 inch or 6 millimeters.
It's incredibly important to know what your moles look like ordinarily, so that you can recognize any changes to the shape, size, or color. Any change in a mole's physical appearance can be red flag for melanoma. In addition, symptoms like bleeding, itching, and crusting signal the need to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist.
Dr. Swinyer of Swinyer – Woseth Dermatology is the founding president of the Intermountain Dermatologic Society as well as the Utah Dermatology Society. Our practice specializes in treating diseases and conditions involving the skin, including skin cancer treatment. To schedule an appointment in our Salt Lake City office, call (801) 266-8841.
Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer that takes the lives of nearly 10,000 people every year. As long as you apply sunscreen regularly and monitor abnormal moles, you can avoid the serious risks associated with melanoma.
In this video, an Air Force pilot named Taylor Todd discusses his experience with melanoma. A mole on the top of Taylor's head turned out to be cancerous, and Taylor had to have the mole and surrounding area completely removed. Taylor used to be hesitant to put on sunscreen, but now he applies it frequently.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation , skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States, affecting more than two million people each year. Furthermore, one in five Americans develops skin cancer at some point in his or her lifetime. Though the abnormal skin cell growth often develops from exposure to the sun, it can also occur on areas in the body that aren't ordinarily exposed to sunlight.
Skin cancer often develops in areas frequently exposed to sunlight, including the scalp, face, lips, neck, and chest. In cases where melanoma develops in people with darker skin tones, the cancer cells are more likely to develop in places not frequently exposed to the sun. Signs of melanoma include a large, brown spot with darker speckles, a mole that changes color or size, as well as small lesions with irregular portions that are red, white, or blue-black.
Cancerous cells develop when there is a mutation of the DNA within the skin cells. Eventually, the mutation causes the cells to grow out of control, forming masses of cancerous cells. In cases of skin cancer, the cancerous cells first develop in the top layer of skin called the epidermis. Ultraviolet radiation from natural sunlight or commercial tanning lamps causes much of the DNA damage associated with skin cancer cells. However, other factors, like exposure to toxic substances, can also lead to skin cancer.
Even though anyone can get skin cancer, people with less melatonin in their skin are at a higher risk. As a result, people who are blond or have red hair and fair skin are more likely to develop skin cancer than someone with a darker skin tone. In addition, people with a history of sunburns are at an increased risk for skin cancer.
If you're concerned about any noticeable changes in your skin's appearance, then you should schedule an appointment with a dermatologist. Dermatologists specialize in treating diseases and conditions involving the skin, hair, and nails. Call (801) 266-8841 to schedule an appointment with Swinyer – Woseth Dermatology of Salt Lake City.

I can now blog about a Christmas gift I made. This little pin inspired me to make a tea pot holder. I love how these rectangular folded ironed pieces create a Somerset Star. I had bought this gorgeous linen material during a holiday in Taiwan. It has little lemons and oranges. So I chose a plain cotton orange fabric for contrast. I originally want the holder to be square as I wasn't sure how to finish off a circle and more importantly I am not good at sewing curves. But I cut myself a paper circle template and then sewed the bias using the balance wheel – sure it took a while but it was worth it and I was so happy with the end result. The recipient loves to bake so I thought she would make good use of it. Enjoy a cuppa J!

This is great! Wonderful work and definitely worth the time and effort.
Thanks Golda – yes it is. Happy New Year!

Street Rod: The Granddaddy of Car Culture Software
While the summer months are normally the perfect time to take a road trip, New York has mandated that any jaunts out of state require a 14-day quarantine upon return — and any location one might want to visit on a lark has a strong likelihood of being closed to visitors.
Seems like a lot of hassle with very little payoff for yours truly, so I've been escaping into old films and television shows before they're cancelled for being offensive. Video games have also become a staple of the modern pandemic lifestyle and, if you read my review of the Ford Simulator franchise, you'll recall that my tastes skew toward terrible, automotive-themed DOS programs from the late 1980s.
Today's entry is actually pretty decent, however — or at least it would have been at the time of its release.
Matt Posky Jul 23, 2020
SCE to AUX I doubt Ford's EVs were profitable even at the former prices, which is why one outlet called Tesla's profitability a 'weapon'. This means Ford will rely even more heavily on its trucks to pay for its EV program.As for Ford's ability to uncork its supply chain - I'll believe that when I see it.
Nick Naylor Considering this as a replacement for our 13' Quest. Looking for legitimate post-3rd row trunkspace, decent fuel economy, GVWR of 6k+ lbs (for tax purposes)
FreedMike Looks good, but am I the only who thinks that Audi won't be well served with a front end design that looks an awful lot like a Ford Fusion's?
FreedMike "Ford is citing new supply chains as the reason it can now crank up production of the Mach-E."Anecdotally, here in Denver, the railhead where new cars are dropped off for distribution to dealers is northeast of the city, on I-76. I pass by it most mornings on my way to work. For most of 2021 and 2022, the lot was depressingly sparse; it now appears to be quite full on most days. That's pretty remarkable for this time of year, which isn't traditionally a good month for auto sales.Evidence of a) better supply, b) lower demand, or a combination?
MaintenanceCosts Watching the OEMs try to navigate this new market is like a Keystone Kops show.And it's not going to get any more stable any time soon, with the wild race to try to secure battery production capacity and the coming economic potholes (especially in China).


Meeting called to order 1930 hours by S.A. Imerese – President.
Mr. Michael Holley of Aspire of Western New York attended our meeting and presented the members with a framed picture of the Christmas Party held on December 14, 2010 at the Learning Center as a thank you for supporting their project. Our members did an outstanding job producing the toys and gifts for the children, and a great time was had by all. A special thanks to Jim Shimwell, who works on this all year to make it the success that it is.
Jim Rupracht reported that there were 32 members in attendance at the Corfu Demonstration by Binh Poh on December 5th, 2010. The cost of the Demo was $ 971.70 with 510.00 received at the door, the clubs split the balance due at $ 208.35 each. Thank you Jim and all the members who helped produce this fine demonstration. We received the pieces turned by Binh, and would like to do something with them to display Mr. Poh's talents. This will be discussed at a future meeting, and if you have any ideas please forward them to Jim.
Jim also stated he placed a request for a grant for us to supplement Aspire, and Make A Wish if we get the award. Thank you, Jim.
Richard Mialki informed us that the date for the Minwax contest was missed for the grant. I'm sure he will try again next year.
Bob Ball informed the members that he had purchased two videos from Binh Poh, and they will be available to borrow from the video library.
After some discussion, it was decided that the vacant Vice Presidents position be filled with several members to share the duties. No objections were noted, so thank you Messrs. Brian Young, Paul Wilhelm, and Jim Cunning for volunteering for the position. .
PLEASE NOTE: A discussion involved a new change in time for our meetings. Effective with the February 2011 meeting, the new start time will be at 1900 hours. Business items and show and tell will be progressed until 2000 hours at which time it will go to the Demo portion.
Rockler's is having a Sorby event with demo's and discounts on February 24th, 2011, 1 to 4pm and 6 to 9pm. Information is available at their store.
The David Day Demo was cancelled due to scheduling error, and will be presented at a later date.

Andru Edwards is creating AWESOME TECH CULTURE VIDEOS!
Hi everyone - Andru Edwards here from Gear Live. As you probably know, I run Gear Live editorial and news content, make video reviews, pioneered unboxing videos, and love bringing you the latest on the world of consumer electronics and gadgets. Now, we are kicking off a Patreon campaign, and wanted to explain a bit about why we are doing it.
You may be wondering "Why don't you rely on ads and sponsors like you've been doing for years?" The problem is that, over time, ads on YouTube have become much less lucrative, and bringing in sponsors requires a lot of time and sales skill, neither of which I have too much of. I'd much rather spend my time making great content for you, than chasing companies to pay for it. I want to focus on our fans and followers.
Think about it this way--imagine your favorite comedian or band is coming to town, and they're selling tickets to their show. You can pay whatever you want to enter the venue and enjoy the show, or you can pay nothing. Everyone gets the same show, so you are basically able to choose to support the artist, or just come in and enjoy. That is what we are doing here...except, for our backers, we will have some really great perks to make it worth your while, and you'll be helping us not just continue what we've been doing, but we will be able to do a lot of new and improved things here if we get to the appropriate backing level!
You are able to contribute any amount you'd like on a monthly basis, whether it's $1, $100, or anywhere in between. Check out the backer perks (my way of saying "Thank you!") and choose how much you can do, and we will do the rest and keep making the best tech videos that we can.
Access to my private feed here on Patreon - stuff that isn't posted anywhere else!
You are entered to win our monthly Lootcrate giveaway, full of awesome geeky goodness!
An invitation to our monthly video Hangout session on Google+ - these are invite-only exclusives!
New Gear Live video content will be released a minimum of twice a week!


We celebrated my mother's 80th birthday at the French restaurant "Hananoki" today. Last year we also celebrated mother's birthday at this restaurant. It was the beautiful Sunday today. We enjoyed the lovely lunch and the wonderful view!

The Melbourne Knights pre-season kicked off over two weeks ago with many triallists trying their luck at making Ivan Duzel's first team. With the squad nearly settled, the first team manager along with his assistant Paul Magdic, will have a solida base from which to prepare for the 2010 Victorian Premier League competition.
The Melbourne Knights coaching staff have ensured that the players fitness levels are primed for the highly anticipated Friendship Cup match against sister club Sydney United, as well as the first game in the 2010 season scheduled to kick off at the end of February.
Although many players from the 2009 squad have left, the committee and coaching staff have pooled their reasources and through their many contacts have assembled a formidable side. With many former Knights players now playing at other clubs, it was necessary to think outside the square and look at players interstate as well as internationally. With former Duisburg midfielder Ivica Praiz marshalling the middle of the park, as well as yet to arrive Canadian striker Tommy Ples expected to spearhead the Knights attack, things at Somers Street are looking on the up.
Loyal clubman Liam Cannell is set to have his best season yet, along with former NSL player Daniel Rocco in defence. A number of players with whom the club has agreed to terms are currently training at the Knights, including goalkeeper Ante Loncaric and ex-Crystal Palace defender Ben Surey. Former Floreat Athena and Perth Glory attacking midfielder Josip Magdic arrived only a few days ago to join his ex-NK Marsonia team mate Ivica Praiz. The combination will surely tear apart any opposing midfield in the VPL. Coach Ivan Duzel also has a few surprise packets in his team and is keen to keep a few aces up his sleeve.


The Denton Record-Chronicle reported that David is at a mental health facility in Arlington but will be arrested and face at least an arson charge when he is released.
Arson investigators said that he confessed to the incident after they told him he was a direct suspect in the investigation, the Record-Chronicle reported.
Jenny told the Record-Chronicle that her husband has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder in 2012 but she still doesn't understand how this incident happened.
A friend close to the family had set up a GoFundMe page for them which raised over $5,000 and now the creator is contacting donors to return the funds, the page said.
But heart-broken by the news, some friends commented on Jenny's post telling her to keep the donations and that she needed them now more than ever.

Lighting a Path to Greatness
Duke Health chief human resources officer Rhonda Brandon reveals the potential in others
By	Joseph Kay
When Rhonda Brandon arrived at IBM in 1981 as a new college graduate, she noticed one executive who was always prepared, kept her cool, and effortlessly navigated conflict. She simply radiated confidence and competence. "She was adored by all, and I wanted to be just like her," Brandon says. With so few female African American leaders available to guide their younger colleagues at the time, Brandon decided she had to have the woman for a mentor. Brandon worked up the nerve to walk into the executive's office to ask.
"She looked at me, and I eagerly awaited her response," Brandon recalls. "And she said, 'I don't do that.'"
Following that deflating moment, Brandon made two resolutions. First, she decided to become a student from afar. "I would find my way into meetings where she was going to speak. I watched her mannerisms, and I listened to her articulate tough subjects," Brandon says. "She was always so graceful and, through practice, I learned to make many of these professional attributes my own."
Second, Brandon decided that she would be different. If a young colleague asked her for mentorship, she would find the time to invest in them. This closely aligns with Brandon's personal mission: to set the stage so that others might shine. Since then, mentoring has become her passion, and she has developed a rich history of advising her employees.
Rhonda Brandon, Chief Human Resources Officer at Duke Health
For example, while working at a pipeline company in Atlanta, one of the few female engineers sought out Brandon for help. She wanted to trade in her engineering career to become a human resources professional. They made an instant connection. Together, they focused on transforming her professional presence; they collaborated on HR projects to expose her to the profession, and Brandon found opportunities to help her gain visibility with executive leadership. But the highly skilled engineer's supervisors were hesitant to give her an opportunity in HR, arguing that she was already adding the best value to the company as an engineer. Brandon persuaded them that they needed to give her the chance, or else another organization would.
"I think I just wore them down," she says. "I encouraged my mentee to share her own story with her leaders, and that was the compelling differentiator." That young engineer eventually earned a position in HR and has enjoyed a spectacular career trajectory. She now serves as vice president of human resources at a large human resources management services company.
Another of Brandon's mentees was recently awarded an expanded role. He came to her needing a listening ear and a wise word. As he shared his hopes, his fears, and what he considered his failures, Brandon revealed that she shared many of those same experiences. That, she says, unlocked a new perspective for him. He gained a new sense of his career's possibilities. Now when they meet, she notes that he has a different energy and exudes increased confidence.
But Brandon doesn't just help others succeed. She has accumulated her own impressive list of professional accomplishments throughout her career as well.
When Brandon arrived at her first healthcare organization in 2006, she realized that this industry tended to rely on traditional HR practices. She and her team members, many of whom came from other industries, encouraged the adoption of more contemporary strategies. With the healthcare industry undergoing profound, rapid, and unpredictable changes, advancing the approach to managing human capital is more crucial than ever, she says. "Our patients are sicker, regulatory measures have increased, the ACA has transformed the way we deliver care, and we must compete for talent differently," she says.
"The best-designed mentoring experiences are like matchmaking: you have to make sure that the chemistry works."
Because of the uncertain future of healthcare, Brandon has primed her current employer, Duke University Health System, to focus further on developing its talent, particularly its leaders. As part of a multiyear human capital plan, she is partnering with operations leaders to enhance the effectiveness of their leaders at all levels, and mentoring will be a key component of that strategy.
Although HR can offer an array of mentoring programs and processes, Brandon emphasizes that the tools and trappings of an institutional program are no substitute for genuine, organic connections between people invested in each other. "Sometimes when you put those 'check-the-box' programs in place, you're not allowing those relationships to form organically," she says. "The best-designed mentoring experiences are like matchmaking: you have to make sure that the chemistry works." Mentoring programs provide clarity and structure, but they can't replace the ultimate objective of awakening leaders to their potential and providing the guidance they need to fulfill it.
Brandon has enjoyed tens of mentoring relationships, some at Duke Health, and a number of other long-term connections from previous organizations. Her assistant often tells her that she doesn't have time—there's just no room on the calendar—but she makes sure to find space somewhere amid her other organizational priorities.
"This is a passion of mine," she says. "I really believe I have added value to many in achieving their goals, and these same people have poured into me. They teach me, and they keep me young. They keep me in touch with what's going on in our organization—and the world."

Q: Enabling/Disabling certain types of Push Messages Im working on a magazine app where user can view certain variety of products.My app includes 4 variety of push notifications concerning four variants of products.Is it possible to add an option in UI for users to disable push notifications for certain messages while able to recieve the notifications he wish to have.

A: I don't think you can do it from the app level itself, since the push notifications that go to an app are controlled at the OS level (so push notifications for the app, but regardless of what for)
However, you can setup tags (or something) on your server so then the app enables/disabled the server to send notifications for a specific topic.
Does that make sense?
