That is why it is not possible to use them in devices behaving as GSM gates or call centers to other automated operations. O2 Czech Republic reserves the right to limit access to services if the operations are irregular, if they show signs of automatically generated or otherwise systematically set up operations, if the services are used in devices behaving as GSM gates or call centers or if they are misused for other purposes than those that they are designed for.

Once the subscriber activates the first data bundle the new bundle with unused limit of transferred data is activated in the same amount automatically when the Validity period of the current bundle runs out, unless the subscriber cancels the service first.
If the limit of transferred data is used before the end of the Validity period of the current bundle and the subscriber has the automatic renewal of data volume function turned on, the limit of transferred data is automatically renewed in the same amount repeatedly up to ten times within the same Validity period.
Once the Validity period of the current bundle runs out, the unused part of the transferred data limit is cancelled without any reimbursements and it is not transferred to the Validity period of the new bundle.

If the prepaid credit amount is insufficient to automatically renew the transferred data limit or to activate the bundle, the moment of the limit renewal or bundle activation is postponed until sufficient credit amount is topped up by the subscriber.

Q: No longer ... any more than
Social problems can no longer be solved by class warfare any more than international problems can be solved by wars between nations.

I think 'any more' is redundant because there is already comparative degree 'no longer', so it seems better that 'any more' has to be deleted as in Social problems can no longer be solved by class warfare than international problems can be solved by wars between nations.
Is my thinking correct??

A: You are right about any more sounding wrong, but that's because the author attempted to use a standard form but got it wrong. The standard form is:

One cannot do X any more than one can do something impossible.
  One cannot become rich on the stock exchange any more than one can get blood from a stone.

In this context, any more has the literal meaning to a greater extent: used in this standard form, it must be followed by than.
The writer made the mistake of changing cannot to can no longer in order to add the concept that it used to be possible but that it isn't any more. It is not clear, though, whether the no longer is intended to apply only to X, or to both X and the impossible activity.
In addition, this confuses the standard form, because no longer seems to be duplicated by the temporal meaning of the expression any more. Note that this meaning does not work with than, so it is definitely not what the author intended.

The General Affective Aggression Model (GAM) serves as a model for attempting to understand aggression. It is intended to be both comprehensive and integrative in its attempt to fathom the underlying causes that result in violent and disruptive behavior. Aggression, just like anger, is a complex and multifaceted problem that stems from the interaction of both internal and external factors. The GAM is an effort to understand that interaction and find way to modify or stop it. The GAM model uses is a social-cognitive framework that incorporates biological, situational, and individual characteristics that intertwine and produce varying outcomes -- behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and physical.


**Thursday salsa classes have been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience. We do not currently have a start date for another series.
Join us for what will be a fun, supportive, queer-centered, non-intimidating, and all things wonderful Salsa dance class for beginners and those who want to polish their basic skills. Karla and Gonzalo bring many years of dance experience to the class and have taught regularly at San Francisco's El Rio Salsa Sundays. For the Salsa enthusiasts, this class will focus on beginning fundamentals of Puerto Rican Salsa. You'll learn more about this style from the instructors in the class.
All you need to bring are some shoes that allow you to slide a bit on wood floors. No partner is needed. This is an adult class. Everyone is welcome to join in on the fun and we hope you will. Scroll down to register early. ¡A bailar! Let's Dance!!
Karla Dominguez has always had an unhealthy obsession with all things music, especially for very old Latin stuff. Hearing old Puerto Rican salsa for the first time at the age of 15 set off a different fire that she has carried for 20 years while learning Salsa, Merengue, Bachata and Cumbia along the way. She learned most of her dance moves while social dancing in San Diego with the Puerto Ricans and Dominicans at the clubs; they were the coolest people she'd ever met.
Karla has always been a natural lead and in San Francisco, she finally felt comfortable to take classes to refine her leading skills. She was on the Bay Area Bachateros dance team and has performed Salsa and Bachata. She teaches salsa for beginners at El Rio's Salsa Sunday every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month.
Her mission is to create a non-intimidating all inclusive queer-centered dance space where people can feel comfortable leading or following. She aims to teach the foundations of salsa in hopes it makes people fall in love (or become obsessed) with the dance.
Gonzalo Landeros was born into a very musical family, most of his family members can play a musical instrument or two. Having been raised around music his whole life, it's only natural that he learned many different dances ever since he was a young boy. Gonzalo was part of Ballet Folklórico for a few years and continues to take workshops to feed his passion for dance.
About 8 years ago, he met Karla and they have been dance partners in crime at Bay Area Dance events ever since. Gonzalo can be found assisting Beatriz Herrera and Karla teach their salsa dance classes at El Rio's Salsa Sunday.
Gonzalo is a patient teacher who has a knack for breaking down steps in a way that students can understand and have fun while learning. His mission is to empower other queers to be better leaders/followers or both.


The sunshine has continued into August, but we've not seen the weather stimulate value growth in any of the markets outside of Fish. The latest Meat, Fish and Poultry (MFP) figures from Kantar Worldpanel for the 12 weeks ending 14th August 2016 reveal real pressure on value in the market.
Chilled Fish is flourishing with both value and volume in growth. Nathan Ward, Business Unit Director for MFP explains "Chilled Fish is benefitting from 475,000 more shoppers buying the market this year, with growth coming from both ends of the age spectrum, with pre-family and retired shoppers driving category growth".
Ward continues "Over half a million more shoppers have bought into Shellfish this year, even though it is the most premium sector in Chilled Fish. Prawns, Scampi and Surimi are the most important contributors to growth over the period". The performance of Breaded bucks the trend for more adventurous species, with volume growth coming as more shoppers buy the traditional species such as Cod and Haddock. Older and more traditional shoppers are the largest part of that growth, but these timeless favourites are also connecting with younger pre-family shoppers.
Fresh Primary Meat & Poultry experienced strong volume growth over the same period. Beef has seen value growth slow as Roasting Joints decline. Despite 450,000 more shopper buying Beef this year, falling prices across the cuts have suppressed value, but promotional investment has helped to stimulate volume growth. Mince has been resilient, helping to drive volume growth through price cuts which have doubled in volume terms year on year.
Poultry continues to see volume growth, but limited value growth coming through in Chicken and Turkey, as promotional levels increase. These promotions have changed mechanic, moving away from Y for £X deals towards price cuts. These offers give a clear price proposition, but are likely to subsidise shoppers already buying into the market regularly.
Chicken Breasts remain a key cut in Poultry, with the Economy and Standard tiers contributing to the performance, driving prices down and suppressing growth despite 840,000 additional shoppers. Legs are key to both Chicken and Turkey growth, as more shoppers buy into these cuts, similarly stimulated by price cuts.
The next data release with be in 4 weeks time, will we continue to see value leave Primary Meat & Poultry or will shoppers start paying more as we head towards autumn?

The Good Thing About Temptation
Can temptation become a force for good in our lives?
Have you reached the age where temptation is avoiding you? Me neither. On the golf course I'm tempted to kick my golf ball from behind a tree while pointing at wildlife. And to cheat at Dutch Blitz. My kids know this. They watch me like hawks, counting my cards after each round.
Four priests went on a weekend and agreed to confess their biggest temptations. The first said his was plagiarism. "I just pull everything off the internet and put my name on it." The second priest said, "I gamble. Instead of preparing my homily I sometimes bet on the ponies." "Mine is worse," said priest number three. "I sometimes can't control the urge to drink. I once broke into the sacramental wine." The fourth priest was quiet. "Brothers," he said, "I love to gossip. If you'll excuse me, I'd like to make a few phone calls."
Temptation. We've all fallen into its trap. I've looked, snapped, gossiped, lied, and lusted. A friend and I were talking about this and he said,
"Is there anything good about temptation?"It got me thinking.
Can temptation become a force for good in our lives? I think so. But only when we take four steps.
1. Give thanks that we recognize it. God has given us a moral compass to discern right from wrong, new desires, and the power to avoid landmines in our path. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says that when we are tempted God will provide a way out.
2. Give thanks that we have an example. When we set our eyes, not on the temptation, but on Christ, we find he was tempted too.
"Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted" (Hebrews 2:18).
"His power is at work in us" (Ephesians 3:20).
3. Give thanks for grace. The children's song is right, "We all fall down." But that's not the end of the story. We get up. Dust ourselves off. And press on.
4. Give thanks for the opportunity to grow a backbone. Christians believe that Satan is a liar, and he wants us for lunch. God desires what's best for his kids. True joy comes when we turn from temporary pleasures and say yes to that which truly satisfies. I must remember these things. Tonight the kids are showing up to play Dutch Blitz.

...Castles and Crusades was designed to be fooled with. We have long encouraged players to add, subtract and amend rules to fit their needs and desires. What the CKG does, is give them some of the options available to them and should (in an ideal world) teach others how to amend rules to fit their needs.
That's great news. I was drawn to C&C due to its familiarity (based on it being derived from old-school D&D) and the ease with which the core system (The SIEGE Engine) can be modified/tweaked/adjusted/what-have-you. As a long-time dabbler in house-ruling and home brew systems, C&C really resonates with me. My own HAGIS projects should interface well with C&C....much of what we do is designed as "targeted tweaks". Anyway, I'm greatly looking forward to the "Book that until very recently was known as the Castle Keeper's Guide".
I should probably do a review of the C&C Players Handbook....and definitely should do one of the "CKG" since it is so heavy on tweaking. Put that on the To-Do List!


I'm a 41 years old and study at the college (Film Studies). In my free time I'm trying to teach myself Bengali. I've been twicethere and look forward to go there sometime in the future. I love to read, preferably on my kindle. I like to watch American Dad and The Big Bang Theory as well as documentaries about nature. I enjoy Shortwave listening.


The new Park City Mountain Resort Ski Maintenance Facility will help provide immediate equipment support during both the winter and summer seasons. The facility includes a fuel depot, food commissary, and storage space for snowcats, snowmobiles, and operations equipment.
Park City, Utah, was first incorporated as a city in 1884. The city's abundant silver deposits attracted people from all across the country in the late 1860's. With falling mineral prices in the 1930's, the focus shifted from silver to snow. In 2002, Park City Mountain Resort hosted four events for the Winter Olympics.
In 2015, the Canyons Resort merged with neighboring Park City Resort, creating one of the largest ski and snowboard resorts in the United States. During the summer, the resort welcomes hikers and mountain bikers from around the world.
The building is protected from Utah's snowy winter months with exterior metal panels and a membrane roof. Freezers and coolers were installed inside the maintenance facility, along with roll-up doors and office space for employees.

I dabbled in film photography through high-school until 2004 when I got my first DSLR. Back in the days of Myspace I started posting photos of my girls. I had friends who liked my photos and asked me to take photos of their kids. I never thought that I would be able to make a real job out if it, but over many years and lots of work I have!
I am located in Vancouver, Washington just north of Portland, Oregon. I have a separate living quarters addition to my home that is my studio. I also have a couple of wooded acres behind my house that I use for outdoor photos.
I shoot with a Nikon D800. For newborns I use the 50.14G, 35 1.4G and the 105 macro.
Photographs are my most treasured possessions. I have always loved art and loved creating.
When I became a mother and saw how fast my daughters grew up I fell even more in love with photography.
I have photographed just about everything over the years. I love maternity to babies first year best of all, but I adore lifestyle family photography as well as taking macros of nature.
I am a good mix of vintage with a lot of organic elements. I am inspired by the beautiful outdoors of the Pacific Northwest. I love looking at how babies naturally curl their bodies and for ways to accentuate the "newness" that is so fleeting.
I am also greatly inspired by texture and vintage textiles.
I took Wildflowers workshop about 4 years ago and the Farm girl workshop about 2 years ago and I hosted Dewdrops photography at my studio last summer.
I love Tanya's Tangles, Oh So fleeting, Giddy4paisley, Knits & Giggles, Goodnight Moon, Dolly Priss, Whatsoever Things to name a few. I shop a LOT at vintage and thrift shops. I love fabric stores as well.
* If you don't value your time no one else will.
* Trust your gut.. if a person feels like a bad fit it probably is.
* Stop comparing yourself to others.
About two years. I love seeing how creative everyone is and how supportive the community is to each other.
They are a variety of my favorite things.. connection, colors, nature, vintage.
I am a Mama of four daughters ages 15, 12, and 7 year old twins. I am married to a great guy who is always game to dig through a salvage yard to help me come up with a new background or home project. We have a little slice of country in the city with our 3 crazy dogs and 24 chickens and a nice big garden.
I love crafting, sewing, thrifting, baking, gardening and spending time outdoors with friends and family.


Autoimmune diseases affect 50 million Americans (more than cancer and heart disease combined), and the number is rising. While these illnesses affect people in myriad ways, they all can devastate a person's quality of life. But what can you do when your body starts attacking itself? Immuno suppressant treatments often cause long-term side effects, and other therapies fail to consider just how physically pervasive symptoms can be. But there's one treatment that approaches autoimmune disorders holistically, acknowledging how deeply intertwined all the body's functions are, and it's a simple one: Food.
What we eat is central to our health, but it's underappreciated as a way to prevent, treat, and reverse illnesses. Patients are more likely to receive medications (which can cause other problems, such as addiction and dependence) than be prescribed a lifestyle change, despite the fact that the Western diet has been linked to many diseases, including autoimmune disorders.
Multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis have been connected to a diet rich in animal products like dairy, meat, and animal fats, whereas evidence suggests that polyunsaturated fats and fiber may decrease risk. Consuming fish oil alongside plenty of vegetables and fresh fruit is correlated with reduced risk of psoriasis. For nearly all autoimmune disorders, excess fat consumption is linked to increased risk and more severe symptoms.
Of all factors contributing to autoimmunity, obesity is the greatest. When a person accumulates excess fat, some of that fat is stored as white adipose tissue. White adipose tissue behaves not like mere fat cells, but rather as an endocrine organ promoting inflammation. This results in a state of chronic systemic inflammation — and since many autoimmune diseases are related to inflammation, this means significantly increased risk.
So how can you change your diet to prevent autoimmune diseases or alleviate symptoms? If you're overweight, reducing your weight to a healthy level is a clear first step, but even sufferers at a healthy BMI can take measures to improve their quality of life.
Adopting an anti-inflammatory diet can mitigate the inflammatory response caused by autoimmune diseases. An anti-inflammatory diet is one that's rich in antioxidant foods like leafy green vegetables and deeply-hued berries, sources of beta-carotene like sweet potatoes and carrots, and omega-3 fatty acid sources like certain fish, seeds, and nuts. Anti-inflammatory herbs like turmeric, rosemary, and ginger are another helpful addition. On the other hand, eating refined starches, sugar, saturated fats, and trans fats can amp up your body's inflammatory response and worsen symptoms.
Avoiding pro-inflammatory foods can be difficult as unhealthy fats, sodium, and added sugars exist in many packaged foods that consumers wouldn't classify as fatty, salty, or sweet. It's important to examine nutritional information to ensure you're not accidentally sabotaging your diet or eating an ingredient you're intolerant to. The easiest way to know what you're getting is to build a diet around whole foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish, and lean meats.
Another important measure to take is to assess your diet for undiagnosed food allergies and sensitivities. The common offenders are dairy, corn, soy, shellfish, nuts, and wheat — in fact, some autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease are correlated with celiac disease, which causes gluten intolerance. Adopting an elimination diet is a great way to find out if certain foods trigger your symptoms, and while it takes some dedication, it's a temporary measure that can bring lasting benefits.
Sufferers of autoimmune disorders don't need to be resigned to their illness. Adopting a healthy lifestyle with an anti-inflammatory diet full of whole foods can help alleviate symptoms and improve overall quality of life, and the body of research for treating autoimmune disorders through diet is only growing. And beyond autoimmunity, adopting a healthy diet is good for everyone, whether you're concerned about illness or simply trying to live a long, happy life.

Radon: a radioactive therapeutic element

For correspondence: Tadeusz.Przylibski@pwr.edu.pl
This paper presents selected issues related to the use of 222Rn in therapeutic treatments. Radon is a radioactive element whose usage in medicine for more than 100 years is based on the radiation hormesis theory. However, owing to the radioactive character of this element and the fact that its alpha-radioactive decay is the source of other radionuclides, its therapeutic application has been raising serious doubts. The author points to potential sources and carriers of radon in the environment that could supply radon for use in a variety of therapies. Except for centuries-long tradition of using radon groundwaters, and later also the air in caves and underground workings, the author would also like to focus on soil air, which is still underestimated as a source of radon. The text presents different methods of obtaining this radioactive gas from groundwaters, the air in caves, mining galleries and soil air, and it presents new possibilities in this field. The author also discusses problems related to the transportation and storage of radon obtained from the environment.
Within radon-prone areas, it is often necessary to de-radon groundwaters that are intended for human consumption and household usage. Also, dry radon wells are used to prevent radon migration from the ground into residential buildings. The author proposes using radon released from radon groundwaters and amassed in dry radon wells for radonotherapy treatments. Thanks to this, it is possible to reduce the cost of radiological protection of people within radon-prone areas while still exploiting the 222Rn obtained for a variety of therapies.
With regard to the ongoing and still unsettled dispute concerning the beneficial or detrimental impact of radon on the human organism, the author puts special emphasis on the necessity of strictly monitoring both the activity concentration of 222Rn in media used for therapeutic treatments and of its radioactive decay products. Monitoring should be also extended to the environments in which such treatments are delivered (inhalatoriums, baths, saunas, showers, pools and other facilities), as well as to the patients – during and after the radonotherapy treatments. It is also essential to monitor the dose of radon and its daughters that is received by persons undergoing radon therapy. This should facilitate the assessment of the effectiveness of these treatments, which may contribute to a fuller understanding of the mechanisms of radon impact, and ionizing radiation in general, on the human organism. This will make it easier to ultimately confirm or reject the radiation hormesis theory. It is also essential to monitor the effective dose that is received by medical and technical staff employed to deliver the radonotherapy treatments.

Josh Okogie headlines list for first Atlanta Hawks NBA Draft workouts
A quartet will be in Atlanta on Monday.
By Brad Rowland@BTRowland May 6, 2018, 3:19pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Josh Okogie headlines list for first Atlanta Hawks NBA Draft workouts
Jason Getz-USA TODAY Sports
The Atlanta Hawks will be hosting numerous prospects in advance of the 2018 NBA Draft and, on Monday, the team will have a quartet of prospects for its first official workout of the process.
The list features four early-entry candidates, with Georgia Tech guard Josh Okogie serving as the headliner. Okogie, who was profiled in this space recently, is joined by Ole Miss guard Terence Davis, Texas A&M center Tyler Davis and North Carolina forward Luke Maye, all of whom retain the right to return to college, as they operate without an agent at this stage.
As a sophomore, Okogie averaged 18.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals in 33.0 minutes per game and he is the only prospect involved in this particular workout that would be in Atlanta's theoretical draft range in the top 33 picks. Still, there is value in the Hawks taking a look at a wide swath of prospects, both in case of draft-day trades and for training camp invites.
Stay tuned as more information becomes available.
Update: The Hawks have added FGCU's Brandon Goodwin and Auburn's Jared Harper to Monday's workout.

Santa Maria in Campitelli ou Igreja de Santa Maria em Campitelli, conhecida também como Santa Maria in Portico ou Igreja de Santa Maria no Pórtico, é uma igreja dedicada à Virgem Maria na Piazza di Campitelli no rione Sant'Angelo, em Roma, Itália.

A igreja abriga um ícone de 25 cm de altura da Virgem Maria datada, pelo estilo e pela dendrocronologia, ao século XI, embora já se tenha alegado antes, pela tradição, que ele teria aparecido milagrosamente, em 524, na mesa de Gala, uma romana que ajudava os pobres, e depois levado em procissões desde 590. Ele ficava antes no demolido Oratório de Santa Gala, situado na outra extremidade da praça, perto do Pórtico de Otávia (daí o nome do ícone, "Madonna del Portico").

Acredita-se que ícone tenha salvado a cidade da peste em 1656 (ou 1658), quando ele foi levado em procissão pelas ruas. Por conta disto, a igreja anterior no local foi substituída, pelo papa Alexandre VII entre 1659 e 1667, pela atual, projetada por Carlo Rainaldi em estilo alto barroco. O papa encarregou sua operação aos Clérigos Regulares da Mãe de Deus.

A igreja atual tem uma fachada de travertino com grandes colunas à frente (mas não ligadas a ela), o que lhe confere fortes linhas verticais. O projeto original incluía estátuas que jamais foram executadas.

O cardeal-diácono da diaconia de Santa Maria em Portico Campitelli é, desde 2006, Andrea Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo, cardeal-arcipreste emérito da Basílica de São Paulo Extramuros.

Interior
O interior da igreja foi projetado para abrigar o ícone na mesma época (um projeto do artista maltês Melchiorre Caffà ou de Giovanni Antonio de Rossi), com uma "glória" (uma artifício arquitetural no uso da luz para aumentar o efeito dramático, como acontece na estátua de São Pedro de Bernini em 1666). Há uma escadaria atrás da "glória" que permite uma visão melhor do ícone, mas que é aberta apenas em situações especiais.

A primeira capela À direita tem um "São Miguel", de Sebastiano Conca. Na segunda está "Santa Ana, São José e Maria", de Luca Giordano. Os anjos são de Michel Maille, Francesco Cavallini e Francesco Baratta. à direita do cruzeiro está o monumento funerário do cardeal Bartolomeo Pacca (m. 1863), de Ferdinando Pettrich. O altar-mor (1667), projetado por Rainaldi e completado por Antonio De Rossi, Ferrata e Giovanni Paolo Schor guarda a imagem de Nossa Senhora mencionada acima. Na terceira capela à esquerda, está uma "Conversão de São Paulo", de Ludovico Gimignani. Na primeira capela da esquerda, está "A Sagrada Família e a Beata Ludovica Albertoni", de Lorenzo Ottoni. À esquerda está a Capela de São João Batista, que abriga o monumento funerário do cardeal Paluzzo Paluzzi Altieri degli Albertoni, de Giuseppe Mazzuoli.

Nas capelas laterais estão ainda obras de Il Baciccia e, na frente da igreja, está uma fonte de Giacomo della Porta.

Desde a época de James Francis Edward Stuart, a igreja tem sido um centro de devoção pela conversão da Inglaterra (de volta ao catolicismo).

Q: Unit step function and ramp function
Can I express this signal only with unit step function?
I've been told that this signal needs ramp function** to be expressed.  Is that true?
To be honest, I don't know what the ramp function is.
y =(-t - 2)(u(t + 2) - u(t)) + 2t*(u(t) - u(t - 1)) + 2*(u(t) - u(t)) + (5 - t)*(u(t - 3) - u(t - 4))
Is this form right?

A: This looks like homework.
The initial part of your expression is correct but there are some errors later on. You say you don't know what a ramp is, so I don't know how you've got as this far with it but, anyway, the procedure for solution is:

*

*At \$\small t=-2\$, a ramp with a slope of \$\small -1\$ begins. Your solution for this part is correct: \$\small f(t)=(-t-2)u(t+2)\$

*At \$\small t=0\$, three things happen: the initial ramp is halted; the signal steps up by 2 units to the origin; and a new ramp with a slope of 2 begins. These three things can be combined into a single ramp, with appropriate slope, plus a step, \$\small 2u(t)\$

*At t=1, ...

*At t=3, ...

*At t=4, ...

A: A ramp function is just a linear y = x for x>=0.
So I think your function cannot be expressed only with step functions because it has ramp parts

A: If you are allowed to use integration, then yes, you can represent it only with a combination of unit steps.
Take the derivative of that function, and you will see how a sum of unit steps can be combined to create its derivative. Then integrate that, and add more unit steps until the constant sections are correct.
If you cannot integrate, then yes, you need a sum of ramps and unit steps (I don't think you can do it with only ramps, perhaps someone can correct me if this is not the case?). Had you Googled "ramp function", you would find this, which is pretty much all you need to know.

A: You can solve it with y = a t + b tailor-made function * u(t+-..) or with r(t+-..) and .
With y = a t + b tailor-made function :

You can solve it with ramps:


Where did all the suvivors go?
Ever notice at a cruise-in that the cool old original cars are missing or largely passed over when the awards are presented? I know this from personal experience and have also become unsupportive of non-charity fundraisers because there is no in incentive to participate.
Atlanta Motor Speedway starts the 4 of July weekend with a Red, White and Bang! What's more All American than car shows, drag races and fireworks! The weatherman called for scattered showers so it was nice to see the Show and Shine car show being held inside. It was also good to see Food and Drink vendors, like PaPa John's Pizza. AMS was even good enough to have an adult beverage vendor. Remember folks, Be Responsible be safe for you and the other guy.


"Superb" indeed! I was captivated by fruit doves early in my career. The Bronx Zoo's director at the time was a confirmed "bird man", and consequently I was surrounded by an amazing collection. But even among a dozen brilliantly-colored relatives, the Superb Fruit Dove, Ptilinopus supurbus, stood out. Its intensely green, orange and purple plumage rivals that of any parrot…and while no dove will talk to you, neither will their quiet, pleasant calls jangle your nerves!
Over 100 species of fruit doves and pigeons have been described, approximately 60 of which are classified within the Superb Fruit Dove's genus.
Superb Fruit Doves are found from the Philippines south through Sulawesi and the Celebes to New Guinea and the eastern coast of Australia. Their preferred habitats include rainforest edges and clearings, mangrove swamps and wooded riversides.
Superb Fruit Doves are birds of the treetops, feeding there and descending to the ground only to drink. Surprisingly, their flamboyant colors provide excellent camouflage against the canopy's shadows and sun-streaked leaves. Seeds that are consumed along with fruit pass through the digestive system intact, rendering them as important seed-dispersers for a wide variety of trees.
Populations appear stable over-all, but, being birds of heavily-forested habitats, they and related species are threatened by logging and agricultural expansion. Several Australian populations are in decline.
Despite their gorgeous plumage and relative hardiness, only 20-25 fruit dove species are regularly kept in private collections. Many breed readily, but they are not suited for cage life and are best kept in aviaries or bird rooms.
If you are interested in keeping doves but lack the space for an aviary, please see these articles on Diamond Doves and Zebra Doves, both of which adapt well to large cages.
A pair of Superb Fruit Doves will require an aviary measuring at least 6 x 4 x 6 feet, but double that is preferable; despite being a mere 9 inches long, they do not take well to crowding. Flight space and plenty of above-ground perches and shelves are essential. Having evolved in forested habitats, Superb Fruit Doves will be stressed in open enclosures…abundant live plants and at least one solid (non-screened) side to the aviary will help them to settle in.
Indoor housing is required during autumn and winter in temperate climates, as these tropical birds cannot tolerate cold weather.
Superb Fruit Doves get along well with smaller seed-eating doves, finches, Painted Quails and non-aggressive softbills.
Those experienced with Ring-Necked Doves and similar species may be surprised at the Superb Fruit Dove's dietary needs…i.e. the fact that seed can be dispensed with. An extremely varied diet is essential to their good health…trying to maintain any fruit dove on a diet limited to 4-5 items is a recipe for disaster.
The majority of the diet should consist (as you might guess!) of fruit. Apples, peaches, pears, melons, berries of all kinds, papaya, mango, kiwi, currants, figs, dates and others, along with small amounts of cooked yams and carrots, should be provided daily. Softbill pellets and a bit of soaked dog kibble will round-out the salad.
To assure that a balanced diet is consumed, food must be cut to perfect "swallowing size"…fruit doves cannot break food into manageable bits, and will discard pieces that are too large.
Superb Fruit Doves breed surprisingly well, with the main problem being egg rolling from the flimsy stick nests they construct. Baskets should be hung about the upper reaches of the aviary for a breeding pair; if accepted as nest sites, egg incubation will be much more successful.
Both parents incubate the single egg for 14-16 days. The chick fledges quickly – usually by day 7 – at which point it may be quite vulnerable to falls, inclement weather and other threats. However, the parents, if undisturbed, will stay close by and continue to feed it, so avoid intervening.
Other truly gorgeous pigeons and doves are also being bred by private aviculturists…please see this article for notes on Bleeding Heart, Nicobar and Victoria Crowned Pigeons.
Thank you your excellent article regarding the superb fruit dove.
My wife and I are wanting to buy a pair for breeding. Can you help us or do you know someone we can contact ?
Thanks for the kind words…unfortunately I do not know of any breeders in your area; perhaps one of the larger Australian bird clubs or bird sites may be of use.
Hi Frank! Do doves in general tend to flock? How about fruit doves, and if someone were to keep one in captivity, does it make a lot of difference whether they are alone, with another (or a group) of fruit doves , or another dove/compatible species?
I apologize for the delay..missed your post due to a glitch.

The Complete STANLEY KUBRICK Exhibit at LACMA – Skiffleboom.com
By Michael McVey, Skiffleboom
In March of 2013, I won a film competition in Boston and flew out to Hollywood, California to see my film screen at the Chinese Theatre. During my stay, I visited the Stanley Kubrick Exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, or LACMA. As a filmmaker and a film enthusiast, I was completely awestruck.
From November 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013, LACMA visitors got a glimpse at the genius responsible for some of the finest films ever made. I documented the extraordinary collection of all things Kubrick. I transcribed the exhibit in its entirety, word for word. It was an illuminating process.
Now that the exhibit is closed, I am posting my efforts here to share with those of you who could not make the trip. While there is no experience akin to seeing it in person, I hope these photographs and transcriptions further the educational goals of this exhibit: film can be great art. Studying the masters helps us discover new ways to understand, new possibilities to explore.
This exhibition is organized by the Deutsches Filmmuseum, Frankfurt am Main, Christiane Kubrick and The Stanley Kubrick Archive at University of the Arts London, with the support of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., Sony-Columbia Pictures Industries Inc., Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios Inc., Universal Studios Inc., and SK Film Archives LLC.
In Los Angeles, Stanley Kubrick is co-presented by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and has been generously supported by Steve Tisch. Additional funding has been provided by Warner Bros. Entertainment, Violet Spitzer-Lucas and the Spitzer Family Foundation.

"I Hunger For Your Touch" Collects 31 Recordings of "Unchained Melody" From Elvis, The Righteous Brothers, Many More
It began life as the theme to a 1955 B-movie that asked, "No locks! No walls! In the prison without bars! What keeps men like these from crashing out?" The film was Unchained, and the song was "Unchained Melody" with music by Alex North (A Streetcar Named Desire, Spartacus) and lyrics by Hy Zaret ("Dedicated to You"). Though the movie – in which just a brief snippet of the song was sung by Porgy and Bess' original Porgy, Todd Duncan – is hardly remembered today, the intensely romantic ballad is anything but. As such, it's the subject of a new CD from Bear Family. I Hunger for Your Touch: Unchained Melody offers 31 renditions of the song recorded between 1955 and 1985. It joins the rare club of single-song CDs; other songs to have received similar treatment include "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" from Bear Family, and "Louie, Louie" from labels including Rhino, Ace and Jerden.
"Unchained Melody" received an Oscar nomination, losing out to "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing" from the movie of the same name. But on the sales charts, it was an instant winner. In addition to presenting Duncan's original recording from Unchained, the new anthology includes many of the song's earliest covers. Les Baxter's choral rendition on Capitol hit No. 2 on the U.S. pop chart, and not long after, Al Hibbler's vocal version reached No. 3. Mining the soulful potential of the North melody, Roy Hamilton took it to No. 1 R&B as well as No. 6 Pop. "Unchained" was unstoppable. Other early versions here are from rockabilly trailblazer Gene Vincent, vocalist Harry Belafonte (who sang it at the Academy Awards), and country legends Eddy Arnold and Chet Atkins.
Yet despite a steady stream of recordings continuing into the 1960s, "Unchained" didn't achieve true immortality until producer Phil Spector and The Righteous Brothers (more specifically, Bobby Hatfield) brought it to No. 4 on the U.S. Pop chart in 1965. It was first the B-side of the Carole King/Gerry Goffin song "Hung on You," but DJs flipped the record, and the rest is history. Over the years, this version kept "Unchained" on the radio, influencing nearly every version that followed and culminating in the song's appearance in the 1990 blockbuster Ghost. Upon its inclusion in the movie, the original 1965 recording and the Brothers' new re-recording simultaneously resided in the Hot 100 for eight weeks!

Ace Boldly Goes To "Outer Space" and The Bay Area On Two New Themed Collections
Ace Records is Going Wild!…not just with a rip-roaring rock-and-roll compilation of that name, but with a journey to the farthest reaches of the galaxy! Yes, the London-based label is travelling from the Bay Area to the Milky Way with two of its latest releases: Greatest Hits from Outer Space and Going Wild! Music City Rock 'n' Roll.
Based on the 24 tracks of Ace's Greatest Hits from Outer Space, the final frontier engaged a wide variety of artists in every conceivable musical genre. On this zany set compiled by Tony Rounce, you'll hear classical tracks, jazz, soul, folk and rock from one of the most eclectic artist rosters on an Ace release yet. And that's saying something!
There are delightfully kitschy song titles a-plenty here: "Maid of the Moon," from jazz piano great Dick Hyman and vocalist Mary Mayo; "Two Little Men in a Flying Saucer" by the legendarily swinging Ella Fitzgerald; "Destination Moon" from the pop vocal quartet The Ames Brothers (including future solo star Ed, then Eddie, Ames); exotica king Les Baxter's "Lunar Rhapsody."
No space-themed anthology would be complete without an appearance from producer Joe Meek's "Telstar," which charted simultaneously in the U.S. and U.K. in its recording by The Tornados. The equally famous "Space Oddity" from David Bowie appears in an early alternate version recorded before Bowie's departure from the Deram label. Shelved until 1989, it's a more desolate and eerie version than the hit single. Considerably jauntier is The Byrds' "Mr. Spaceman," a Top 40 country-esque romp from the group's psychedelic Fifth Dimension album.
A few famous television themes appear via The Ventures' surf take on "The Twilight Zone," Delia Derbyshire and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop's "Doctor Who," and Leonard Nimoy's "Theme from Star Trek." The original Doctor Who theme is heard in its mono mix. What Nimoy, a.k.a. Mr. Spock, had to do with the rendition of the Star Trek theme included on his Mr. Spock's Music from Outer Space LP is up in the air (or in outer space…), but the rendition of the famed Alexander Courage/Gene Roddenberry tune is a faithful one. Movie themes haven't been left out, either, even "inherited" ones: the set kicks off with the Berliner Philharmoniker's "Also Sprach Zarathustra" from 1958. A decade later, Stanley Kubrick famously utilized the performance for the soundtrack to his 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, gaining it immortality.
Top-tier soul man Bobby Womack reinvents Jonathan King's "Everyone's Gone to the Moon," a No. 3 U.K./No. 17 hit in 1965 for its writer. Womack cut his version in Memphis with co-producer Chips Moman, bringing a new dimension to it in the process. The similarly-titled "Everybody Gets to Go to the Moon" is a Jimmy Webb tune brought to life by Thelma Houston on the occasion of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. The moon figures in yet more tracks here, like Moon Mullican's "Rocket to the Moon" (1953) and Johnny Harris' dark instrumental "Footprints on the Moon," also from 1969. (Mr. Mullican's name apparently derived from illegal booze, not from the actual moon.) Neil Armstrong was among those astronauts celebrated by Webb with his song; John Stewart ("Daydream Believer") took the tribute one step further with his "Armstrong." Lightnin' Hopkins saluted another famous astronaut with "Happy Blues for John Glenn."
Nick Robbins has remastered all tracks. You might find yourself rockin' in orbit with Greatest Hits from Outer Space. Live long, and prosper! After the jump, you'll find the full track listing with discography and an order link. Plus: ground control to Major Tom – we're headed from outer space to the San Francisco Bay Area!

Soundtrack Corner: We Will Always Love "The Bodyguard" Plus Jerry Lewis Goes "Geisha" and Les Baxter for Halloween
Though the 1992 soundtrack to Mick Jackson's film The Bodyguard is the best-selling soundtrack album of all time, its success was largely on the strength of star Whitney Houston's performances of "I Will Always Love You," "I Have Nothing" and "I'm Every Woman." Featured on just one track was the work of Alan Silvestri, the composer of Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit who provided the film's original score. The under-three minute snippet featured on the Grammy-winning Arista album barely scratched the surface of Silvestri's score for The Bodyguard. Twenty years later, La-La Land Records has teamed with Sony Music and Warner Bros. for the first-ever release of Silvestri's complete orchestral score.
This 3,500-unit limited edition release includes 23 tracks and seven bonus cuts including alternates and source music. (Of course, none of the film's songs or vocal performances are heard on this release.) James Nelson (Kritzerland's Follies, Promises, Promises) has mastered this release under the supervision of producer Dan Goldwasser, and Tim Grieving has written new liner notes incorporating comments from Mick Jackson and Alan Silvestri.
The Bodyguard: Original Score from the Motion Picture is available now from La-La Land Records for $19.98 plus shipping.
Hey laaaaady! After the jump: how about some musical merriment from a Jerry Lewis classic? And what spooky offerings does Intrada have for Halloween? Plus: track listings and order links for all titles! Read the rest of this entry »

Kritzerland Wraps Up 2011: Orson Welles on "Trial", and Les (Baxter) Is More
2011 may be coming to a close, but the Kritzerland label still has a couple of surprises up its sleeve. The label this morning announced its final two releases of the year, and both are offbeat gems: Lex Baxter's scores to two Edgar Allan Poe offerings (Roger Corman's 1963 The Raven and the Vincent Price-starring 1970 television special An Evening with Edgar Allan Poe) and Jean Ledrut's score to Orson Welles' 1962 film The Trial, described by the Citizen Kane director as "the best film I ever made."
Emphasizing comedy over horror (just check out that cover artwork for the new CD!), The Raven starred Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff and a young Jack Nicholson, and was one in a line of Corman's Poe-inspired B-movie classics. Despite Baxter's fun, eerie and effective score, The Raven had never seen a soundtrack release, until now! Tape research for The Raven revealed only the second of two reels of the film's music, but the label pressed forward as it was a full reel with music from not only the second part of the film but several cues from the first part, for a total of nearly 25 minutes of Baxter's best. Several of the composer's electronic cues have been included as a bonus. The Raven has been paired with the original soundtrack of An Evening Of Edgar Allan Poe. Previously released on CD by Citadel in "fake stereo," Kritzerland's release has been mastered from its original mono tapes and in proper sequence. The main and end titles, taken from the DVD release, have also been appended for the most complete presentation of the score yet.
The Trial was Orson Welles' 1962 adaptation of the novel of the same name by Franz Kafka, and Welles captured the air of menace and danger that pervades Kafka's work. Anthony Perkins, post-Psycho, starred as the persecuted Joseph K., whose crime is never revealed. Romy Schneider, Jeanne Moreau, and Elsa Martinelli all figure in K.'s life and trial. Welles himself (also the author of the screenplay) portrays The Advocate, K.'s lawyer and also the main antagonist of the film. Jean Ledrut composed the score, including adaptations of Tomaso Albinoni's "Adagio in G minor." Ledrut wasn't prolific, but his music has left a lasting impression. His score plays on variations of the Albinoni "Adagio," in addition to his own evocative, original cues. Martial Solal, of Breathless fame, contributes the jazz piano work, and it all adds up to one wonderfully varied soundtrack to a remarkable (and remarkably forgotten) film. Kritzerland's edition has been mastered from a quarter-inch tape source in excellent condition.
Both titles are limited editions of 1,00o copies priced at $19.98 plus S&H. Both are scheduled to ship the third week of January from Kritzerland. Pre-orders at Kritzerland typically ship an average of one to five weeks earlier, however.

I am getting rather fed up of seeing posts in the feeds of my Facebook Friends, including many who really should know better, advertising a supposed £175 value Tesco supermarket voucher giveaway. I say 'should know better' as the culprits have included technology journalists, computer magazine editors and IT consultants; all of whom must surely know that if it looks too good to be true then it's a scam.
And scam it quite patently is. Following on from a similar Tesco voucher scam at the end of last year, this new one adopts the same approach: in order to claim your 'free' voucher, the victim has to first share the 'offer' to their friends on Facebook whilst at the same time posting a comment that says 'Thanks Tesco' in a matey fashion (thus distributing the scam to the widest audience using the trust model - "if my mate is sharing this, and thanking Tesco as well, it must be kosher") and then click on a link to take you to a page where your voucher claim can be completed.
Of course, by this point one would hope that installed and up to date anti-malware protection software would remind the victim that they appear to have left their common sense at the door, and warn them not to be so silly as to load the page in question. Failing that, the victim will be greeted with a page that for all intents and purposes looks like Tesco as it has copied the supermarket giant's branding for just that purpose.
What happens next? Well that very much depends on the whim of the scammers from day to day, but the usual payload is the old survey-filling one-two-three.
One: fill in your personal details (they will come in handy for identity theft and further scams).
Two: complete this survey (these are often genuine third party surveys, but the scammer will get a referral payment for every survey that is completed).
Three: be tempted by the adverts offering more great deals (which will either provide the scammer with click-through revenue, or direct the victim to yet more scams and the potential of drive-by malware installation for good measure).
Interestingly, another UK-based supermarket chain is also the subject of an ongoing and current voucher scam. However, I have not seen a single 'Morrisons voucher' posting within my Facebook newsfeed, but have seen at least a dozen of the Tesco variety so far.
If you think you may have fallen for either of these scams, or any other, please go to your profile page and from there delete the offending posts that advertise them and may lure other people into clicking through.
As soon as I retweeted this (one of my Facebook/Twitter friends had clearly gone for the voucher) I received a tweet from a totally unknown user with a link in it. On a protected system, I checked the link and all sorts of alarms were set off on the anti-malware software. Coincidence- I think not.
Chain-gun mail with a hidden handgrenade. You'd think by now, people would've cottoned on. Hah. I can't help but feel that they deserve everything they get. If you're so dopey as to fall for this, then it's clearly Darwinian.
That's just the thing though, some of the people that I am seeing who are getting caught are exactly the people I wouldn't think would be so gullible: a tech magazine editor/publisher, a respected IT journalist, an IT consultant etc etc. They all know about scams, and are aware of the do not click mantra. What is happening, I think, is that they haven't transitioned their scam detection awareness from web to social networks, whereas the bad guys clearly have made the move.

"La Mariposa", or the "Butterfly chair", designed in Buenos Aires in 1938 by Jorge Ferrari Hardoy, along with Antonio Bonet and Juan Kurchan. This classic chair is also known as the "Hardoy chair" or "BKF chair" after its creators.
Inspired by a wooden folding chair "La Tripolina" dating from 1877 and popular in Europe. The simple leather sling chair design garnered unexpected popularity and attention.
An early example features in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Hi. I'm Neil Wilson.
I'm a Principal Engineer at Ping Identity, where I work on all things LDAP, including their Directory Server, Directory Proxy Server, and the UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java. I also maintain the LDAP.com website and the @LDAP@mastodon.online account on Mastodon, both of which provide news about LDAP-related content.
I've been working with LDAP in some form or another since 1999. I started as a server administrator at Caterpillar and then at TidePoint, before moving on to working as a lead technical support engineer at Netscape for the Netscape and iPlanet Directory Servers. When iPlanet dissolved, I moved over to Sun Microsystems, where I worked in various roles, including as a sustaining engineer, performance engineer, and developer for what was eventually known as Directory Server Enterprise Edition (DSEE). I was also the original lead developer for the OpenDS Directory Server until they moved the majority of its development outside the United States. I then co-founded UnboundID, which was acquired by Ping Identity in 2016.
In my non-professional life, I watch a lot of movies and television. I tend to watch more of the classics than new releases, but I still see a fair number of new films, and I have a pretty indefensible soft spot for Hallmark Christmas movies.

Carcassonne (Android)
exozet games, Hans im Glück Verlag | Published: 2011
The award-winning tile-based board game is now available for your mobile phone!
Just a few years after its release, Carcassonne became a modern classic and a must-play. Turn by turn, the players create a landscape by placing tiles with roads, cities, fields, and cloisters. The players deploy their followers - knights, monks, thieves, or farmers - to earn points. The player with the most points after the final scoring wins the game. The ever-changing landscape makes each game a new experience. With the official expansion "The River II" and 12 challenges, it never gets old. You can play against clever AI opponents or with up to 4 other players in a local multiplayer match.

A quick look at the game and its features.

"Great port of a classic game"
This is a faithful representation of Carcasonne, and has many features that fans of digital games will love, like Achievements and the ability to play Computer or Human opponents.
Caveat: You play against Human opponents by passing the game to someone in real life. There are no online gaming options. If you had friends over, you'd play the original board game version, but if you're on a long flight or waiting in line, this is the perfect format.
Computer AI: There are a few different Computer player strategies, and some are easier to beat than others. If you're good at Carcassonne, it shouldn't be difficult to out-think the Computer opponents, but just like in the original board game, you still need some luck with tiles.
Cheats: You have the ability during the game to see what tiles are remaining, which is technically cheating in the original game. My suggestion is to either ignore it, or understand that the computer knows what tiles remain also, and play around it.
Overall, I think this is a great addition to my mobile gaming library. It's not quite as faithful to the original as the iPhone/iPod Touch version (made by another company) but with the addition of Achievements, I think it's easily one of my favorite digital board games for Android.

"My Portable Carcassonne"
Carcassonne for Android works well. I usually play against one of the many computer opponents, and each has a different skill level. It includes the River Expansion, which helps with replay value. A key advantage of a digital board game vs. a tabletop game is zero setup and cleanup time. I can play a game of Carcassonne in 10-12 minutes, and scoring is done by the computer. Another feature I like is that the computer shows all legal moves or tile placements.
A downside of the electronic version is the missing social aspect; most games are solo. One of the many reasons I play games is that I enjoy the social interaction with my playing partners. So even a great electronic adaptation of a game will likely seem a bit cold or sterile. Carcassonne for Android is a good value at $4.99, and being quick and portable makes it very worthwhile. I hope that other quality electronic adaptations of tabletops will be available soon.

"Not bad in a pinch "
Digitial Carcassonne isn't too bad if you want to play and don't have anyone to play with. Similar to Carcassonne, but not as fun as actually playing in a group. They have limited computer trash talk but, that doesn't live up to the real thing.
You take turns laying tiles, computers take their turns. After each tile you are given the opportunity to lay a character marker. Points are score and markers returned by the computer.
A chance to play Carcassonne
No real life partners
I would love it if they offered an online real person play option. But it's not too bad for the price and lets you practice your strategies.
Like I said, not bad in a pinch.

WHEN YOUNG AI CROSSED THE GOAT
Activations 4. August 2022
"Michael!" You can clearly hear the coach's voice, even during the TV broadcast. "Get up on him!" That voice belongs to Phil Jackson. And there was only one Michael that the legendary Bulls Coach was talking about.
After a screen on the left wing, the Bulls switched on defense. Iverson had used the pick to get separation from Ron Harper, making Jordan the primary defender of the aspiring Sixers rookie. At first, Iverson gave the G.O.A.T., in his own words, "just a little cross, to see if [Jordan] would bite on it." After number twenty-three had set his feet again, Iverson went for it.
The two teams had met once before during the 1996-97 NBA season, an early-November loss at Chicago. However, Iverson had shown promise, dropping 32 points in another defeat before Christmas. This time, on March 12th, the game was played in Phily. This was the Sixers' home turf and Iverson was ready to go after MJ, just like he had pictured it in his head growing up. The stage was set.
The lightning-quick crossover, left to right, gave the young guard enough space to launch a jumper over Jordan's outstretched arm. As the ball found the bottom of the net, the basketball world took notice. Mind you, this was prime MJ, fresh of 72 wins and his fourth title and well on his way to guiding his Bulls to another 69-13 finish that season, capped off with title number five. Announcing his presence against that guy, Iverson had turned heads all over the basketball world.
Very quick! He keeps the ball very low to the ground. And he is certainly closer to it than I am. But his quickness is unbelievable.
Michael Jordan on "the little guy's crossover" after the game
By pulling off his signature move against the greatest basketball player of all time, Iverson had not only underlined his aspirations to become the NBA's Rookie of the Year 1997. The Answer had arrived! And 25 years later, the shoes that Iverson wore for his miraculous move, are back for a special tribute.
The iconic 'Blue Toe' edition of the Reebok Question Mid, the signature shoe that Iverson wore for the famous crossover, is now available at BSTN. Pick up your pair via the button below!
