FA closes disciplinary loophole
The Football Association has amended its rules to close the loophole that prevented Fernando Torres being charged for scratching Jan Vertonghen's face.
Torres was filmed raising his hand to Vertonghen's face during Chelsea's 1-1 draw at Tottenham on Sept. 28, with referee Mike Dean booking the striker for the coming together but having apparently failed to recognise the extent of the Spaniard's reaction.
There had been calls for retrospective action to be taken but, as an official had "partially seen" the incident, FA rules decreed that the matter had been dealt with at the time and so it could not be revisited.
Greg Dyke, the new FA chairman, then indicated that he planned to close the loophole and, as of Nov. 22, new rules will allow for charges to be brought even in instances where officials have seen part of the incident.
The new rules will now cover:
• Acts of violent conduct that occur secondarily to a challenge for the ball
• Off-the-ball incidents where one or more match official did see the players coming together, but the match officials' view was such that none of them had the opportunity to make a decision on an act of misconduct that took place within that coming together
FA director of governance Darren Bailey said: "This enables the FA to consider acts of violent conduct, like an elbow or a stamp, which have occurred after a challenge for the ball or coming together of players.
"It is sometimes difficult for officials to see such incidents, as they are often concentrating solely on the challenge for possession of the ball, and we are mindful of this.
"Also, where off-the-ball incidents are concerned, the policy adjustment will allow action to be taken where an act of misconduct could not have been seen by the match officials, even though they may have seen some part of the players coming together.
"This is an important step forward for the game and provides an appropriate level of discretion for the FA to consider action. However, we remain of the view that the best outcome for all is that referees are able to make correct judgements on the day to benefit the teams involved."

Jenni Rivera 1
Poor Jenni, wrapped in the Mexican flag, didn´t do justice to the Mexican National Anthem at the Bicentenario por la Independencia de Mexico at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles back in September of 2010. She was so timid during her performance that the audience could barely hear what she was singing!
Chino y Nacho 2
Rappers Jesús Alberto Miranda Pérez (L) and Miguel Ignacio Mendoza of Chino y Nacho onstage during the 11th annual Latin GRAMMY Awards. During the opening of the Venezuelan baseball season back in 2008, the Venezuelan duo forgot the words to their National Anthem and the crowd was understandably enraged.
Christina Aguilera 3
Xtina made an already bad year (she got divorced, she got arrested, her new boyfriend caused some controversy) worse by messing up the lyrics to the National Anthem at the mother of all sporting events, the 2011 Superbowl

Support to live well
Connecting with the person
Every individual has their own personality, history and preferences, whether or not they are living with dementia. It is important to 'see the person' rather than just the condition. Whether you are a family carer, friend, professional carer or volunteer, you can contribute to the wellbeing and quality of life of the person you care for by treating them with dignity and respect.
By focusing on individual needs and preferences, you can do a lot to improve the wellbeing and quality of life for a person who is living with dementia. Objects and memories from the past can be a powerful way of re-connecting with the person you are caring for.
Some people living with dementia may find aspects of communication difficult, which can be frustrating for them. As a carer, you can help by showing your understanding and patience, and by giving the person the time and space to respond. You can also look for non-verbal signs, such as facial expressions and body language.
Support organisations
There are lots of support organisations and networks that can help you if you or a loved one are living with dementia. These include the Alzheimer's Society and Dementia UK, as well as networks that support carers such as Carers UK

Civil Liberties

Are there some civil liberties that people should be prepared to give up in times of war?© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com October 10, 2019, 2:18 am ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
In times of war the laws are silent. This maxim has applied to the United States in every major issue of conflict from impact of the French Revolution to the War on Terrorism of today. Perhaps the best way to begin consideration of this question is at first, a brief assessment to see how the dichotomy of patriot and citizen has been traditionally viewed in American history. In 1798 Congress passed the Alien and Sedition Act, which in the wake of the French Revolution made it a crime to "write, print, utter or publish" any "false, scandalous and malicious writing or writings against the government of the United States, or either house of the Congress of the United States or the President of the United States."
In response Kentucky's legislature approved a statement saying, "This commonwealth does upon the most deliberate reconsideration declare that the said alien and sedition laws, are in their opinion, palpable violations of the Constitution."
During the Civil War, President Lincoln put similar restrictions on written and published speech and also enacted a security code on railways similar to the current restrictions on airline travel. Actions became most severe when he suspended the right of habeas corpus for a time. Newspapers of the time including the N.Y. Times recoiled in horror, uniformly denouncing this 'tyrannical' policy.
In the First World War, Wilson's barely defeated the Espionage Act gave birth to a famous civil liberties case: U.S. v Charles Schenck wherein the Supreme Court was unanimous in upholding that leaflets distributed to resist the draft warranted conviction. The ruling stated:
"When a nation is at war, many things that might be said in time of peace are such a hindrance to its effort that their ...
Solution Summary
The solution is a narrative that discusses the question above partly as an example in how to put together a paper on the topic, partly to provide ideas and perspectives on the topic of civil liberties itself. A word version is attached.

Photo Contest, Exhibit to Showcase Overseas Duty
- Details

Winning entries will be showcased at the Smithsonian Institution's American Art Museum, U.S. embassies around the world, the Pentagon and other prominent, international venues in 2012, officials said.
"We're looking for the most-compelling photos that show the friendships, places, faces, losses and triumphs [of deployment]," said Army Lt. Col. Luke Knittig of DOD public affairs, who is helping to coordinate the Defense and State Department project.
Photos taken overseas since 2000 by active-duty troops, veterans and Foreign Service members should represent daily life during a deployment, in a combat zone or from a humanitarian relief mission, he said.
The goal, Knittig said, is to show everyday events through the eyes of those who serve as ambassadors representing the United States around the world. The images will be part of an audio and video montage.
Contest photos must meet the exhibit's theme of friendships, places, faces, losses and triumphs of an overseas mission, and entries will be judged by a panel of up to seven people, Knittig said.
The selecting judges will be "prominent Americans, famous and famously skilled," according to a joint department press release. Confirmed judges include retired Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Pulitzer prize-winning combat photographer Joao Silva, who lost both of his legs in Afghanistan last year after a land mine exploded underneath him.�
The 1,000 winning photos will be announced on Armed Forces Day, May 19.
The secretaries of Defense and State will invite the top 10 best of show winners to Washington as honorees for the exhibit's VIP opening next November, officials said.
The contest and exhibit are part of the State Department's upcoming Art in Embassies' 50th anniversary commemoration. That program, formalized by President John F. Kennedy's administration, is one of the premier public-private partnership arts organizations in continuous operation in 180 countries worldwide, according to State Department officials.�
The Art in the Embassies program plays an important role in U.S. public diplomacy through a culturally expansive mission that creates temporary exhibits and permanent collections, artist and cultural exchange programming, and publications, they said.
Contest rules, photo specifications and submission forms are posted on the "Serving Abroad ... Through Their Eyes" website at www.ourmilitary.mil/their-eyes/serving-abroad-through-their-eyes/ [ http://www.ourmilitary.mil/their-eyes/serving-abroad-through-their-eyes/ ].

I SPY should be familiar to anyone that went to elementary school in the 1990s. For the youngsters and dinosaurs, I SPY is a book series of picture riddles. Large, artistic pictures accompany two line riddles naming objects to find. I SPY Fun House takes that premise and puts it into a video game, while throwing in a few extra mini games.
The fun house holds six different illustrations, each one with three riddles to create a total of 18 puzzles. The pictures are smaller than the ones in the book, so everything to find is pretty close together. They are big enough to require players to scroll using either the touch screen of D-pad. Players tap on the touch screen to highlight the item they're looking for. The puzzles just don't have the appeal that the books do. Sure, they're I SPY-esque but there's something missing. These are not Walter Wick's photo illustrations, which were works of art in themselves.
Since there are three riddles per illustration, players will become intimately familiar with the pictures of carousels and playing cards. The biggest problem with the puzzles is that the picture is so small and cramped that players will see everything in it the first time around. This makes the second and third rounds cakewalks because nothing has changed. A couple of the puzzles have interesting twists at least. The X-Ray puzzle for instance has a button that turns on a, you guessed it, x-ray mode that reveals hidden items. Oddly enough this is one of the easiest puzzles in the game though.
There are four other games in the fun house: Listen up, a carnival themed version of Simon; Pop 'n' Drop, a puzzle clone; Hoop Shot, a Venn diagram matching game; and Prize Popper, which is item matching skeeball. There's a pretty basic theme of matching objects linking most of the games. Even for a kids game it's pretty rudimentary, but most of the games have dozens of rounds that make it more complicated. Still, unless the player is in the single digit age range, matching "green objects" from "round objects" is not going to be very difficult.
The game is "won" when players collect 10 tickets, thus earning their way out of the fun house. Since each puzzle gives a ticket, and every ten round of the simple games does too, earning 10 tickets takes about an hour. After leaving the fun house, players are just dumped back in again and told to earn 10 more tickets. The second time around it takes a little more time since the minigames stay on the round they got left at. However, the I SPY puzzles are still the same, and they really aren't fun twice. Why didn't the developers just make it so that 20 or 30 tickets bought the player's freedom so that they wouldn't notice as quickly that this is only a fraction of a game?
The thing about the I SPY book series is that they're only about 10 bucks each online. For the same price as this game, someone could buy three I SPY books. That's about 40 puzzles. Each puzzle will take as long, if not longer than playing each of the video game's puzzles three times. I SPY is really only suitable then for fans of the book series that have already played through all 13 entries. The irony is that anyone that is that big of an I SPY fan will be underwhelmed and quickly bored by this title.
Books aren't cool anymore. Scholastic has to reach to out to the new batch of schoolchildren through another means and they've tried to do so with I SPY on the DS. It's an admirable effort, but there just isn't enough game here to justify purchasing. If there were more puzzles, or if they were more difficult to solve it would be a better game. The fact of the matter is that this game is made to be played by kids too young to have seen the I SPY books, so why don't they just get the books and get more use out of those?

Marc was raised in Ottawa and began taking pictures since the early 80's. Back then it was the good old 35mm film camera. After graduating from the Algonquin College Photography program he started working at the Library and Archives Canada in Photography and is now with the Data & Migration section.
Its only in the past few years that he got back into photography for his own pleasure. It didn't take him long to realize that a digital tool was going to be the enabler that he needed to give him his artistic voice. Combining and manipulating images through digital art introduces a somewhat surrealistic twist to his distinctive work to transform images into unique piece of art.
He believes there is no right or wrong way when it comes to producing art as it is a question of taste, style and interpretation. But there is an intuitive nature that defines his style and gives him a predisposition towards his artistic endeavors. What works for him may not feel right for someone else. His working practice is as personable as he is. He finds this digital tool truly inspirational as it gives him the creative freedom he craves to produce the highest quality in his artwork.
Since many of his images are labelled digital and don't look much like conventional photographs, many viewers are curious as to how is it possible to create artwork. Basically, he uses a computer to produce fine art from his own photographic origins. Although this technique is still new and controversial, it is a very powerful tool, not magic. He uses a professional digital camera and all manipulation of the image is modified on a computer screen. He then prints his own work on specialized paper to capture the beauty of his creations.
Not only is he a photographer but also an artist. His camera is his canvas and the light he uses is his paintbrush. He gets great pleasure out of creating original art work that pushes his creativity.
For Marc everything is possible. One of his favorite quotes from Saul Leiter is
Photography allows you to learn to look and see. You begin to see things youd never paid attention to.

Summary: Alexandria Prep is hacked in this whodunit set in the age of social media and the cloud.
Senior spring at Alexandria Prep was supposed to be for sleeping through class and partying with friends. But for Anna Soler, it's going to be a lonely road. She's just been dumped by her gorgeous basketball star boyfriend—with no explanation. Anna's closest friends, the real ones she abandoned while dating him, are ignoring her. The endearing boy she's always had a complicated friendship with is almost too sympathetic.
But suddenly Anna isn't the only one whose life has been upended. Someone is determined to knock the kings and queens of the school off their thrones: one by one, their phones get hacked and their personal messages and photos are leaked. At first it's funny—people love watching the dirty private lives of those they envy become all too public.
Then the hacks escalate. Dark secrets are exposed, and lives are shattered. Chaos erupts at school. As Anna tries to save those she cares about most and to protect her own secrets, she begins to understand the reality of our always-connected lives:
Sometimes we share too much.
I couldn't decide at first if I was really connecting with Anna. I liked her, I related to her, she was a very enjoyable character to me from the start; but it wasn't one of those immediate, obvious connections. But when I closed the book, I missed her. It made me realize that sometimes you don't have to connect with a character on every level or agree with everything they say and do. Sometimes certain characters are just good company, they're like friends. And that's what Anna was to me. Anna was such an interesting character and one that I couldn't help but root for and relate to. Her anxiety is a big part of the story, and I am so grateful that the author didn't shy away from it. I liked that Anna's anxiety was written in a light of acceptance and of healing and that, through her anxiety, she was able to understand and attempt to help someone else. I really appreciate when authors touch on mental health and spread awareness not just about the problem itself but also about the fact that it doesn't have to define us. Anna, with the help of her loved ones, took care of herself and used her situation in a positive way later in the story. This is something that made me like Anna from the beginning and made me extremely proud of her and of the author's portrayal of her. I also feel the need to defend Anna a bit, however. As much as I like her and feel for her, I can admit that she did make mistakes. As did almost everyone at some point among the pages of this book. But a couple of my fellow reading friends (who are okay with my mentioning them in this review – hi, guys) were particularly hard on Anna for how she treated her friends, calling her vapid or self-centered. It's true that what Anna did was wrong; and if she had never admitted that or apologized for it or tried to make things right, I would completely agree that she was vapid and cruel and not a very good person or friend. But the thing is she did admit it. She even knew deep down at the time that it was wrong, but she was in a strange place at the time and was blinded by what she thought was first love. Those aren't excuses, and Anna doesn't use them as such; but considering she did apologize and own up to it, I think she deserves a little more forgiveness from the reader. And as far as her being self-centered, Anna did have to think about herself at times, but I don't believe that makes her self-centered. It makes her human. She makes unbelievable effort to do right by those around her, by her friends, and to make up for the mistakes she made. She's not perfect, but she tries. And to me, that's the most important thing a person can do.
Another character that I feel very strongly about is Jethro. He, like Anna, made mistakes and was not perfect. But Jethro has such a big heart and cares so much for those around him, especially Anna; and we all know what it's like to have the best intentions and completely go about them the wrong way, so I felt for Jethro and I'm really happy with how things ended between him and Anna, though some readers may want a bit more closure. But I'm content with having my own opinion of how things played out after the last page. The author did a great job establishing Anna and Jethro's relationship and how much they mean to each other, so I enjoyed some things being left up to the reader and not all wrapped up in a neat, perfect happily ever after. I also felt that it was a fitting end to the story itself, a reminder that not everything always has a perfect, pretty ending. Our lives don't come to a perfect close after one story, they're full of stories, one after the other, and this was just one of Anna and Jethro's.
There were plenty of other supporting characters to love in this book, such as Nikki and Haven and even Palmer. I felt he was misunderstood and deserved so much more; he broke my heart, and I truly came to love his character. A certain part in the book involving him absolutely gutted me and left me shocked. I commend the author for that amazing yet devastating twist; I never saw it coming. This entire story is full of intrigue and mystery, though with a much lighter tone than what I've been used to lately. But it really worked; I was never bored or unsatisfied with the action, and I couldn't wait to see what happened next. All in all, I truly enjoyed this book and am beyond impressed that it is Jillian Blake's debut. There were so many moving parts and so many things and people to suspect; the concept of this story was amazing, and it was executed wonderfully. I also adored the ending; the message of this book is incredibly important, and I'm so glad that I read this one. I highly recommend Antisocial to fans of teen/YA suspense and any reader that enjoys books that make you stop and think. I know I'll be thinking about this one for a long time.
A huge thank-you to the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

The analysis measures the direct, indirect and induced impacts of a gaming and hotel project. An EIS examines these impacts for two distinct phases: the construction phase, which is a onetime stimulus on the region's economy; and the operational phase, which provides ongoing stimuli to the region's economy on an annual basis. An EIS is essential to the successful development of a new casino as it addresses the concerns of all stakeholders within the community.
Internet & Social Gaming
Given the increased proclivity of the world's population to enjoy entertainment on their mobile devices, and as visa restrictions and increased government oversight constrain customers' ability to visit their favorite gaming destinations, the online, social, and proxy gaming industries have emerged as powerful and profitable sectors. GMA's Digital Marketing Group has the knowledge and expertise to provide gaming operators with a variety of online gaming solutions. GMA can provide technological services that enhance customers' gaming experiences, including proxy gaming, online, and live-dealer/online programs.
Marketing Plan Development
The task of developing a casino marketing plan requires time and experience. While a casino's marketing and advertising executives possess the experience, they often are too busy implementing promotions and addressing the day to day needs of the organization to stop and write an annual marketing plan. GMA works with the property's marketing team in developing the annual marketing plan, integrating their strategies and tactics into a cohesive plan.
The Marketing Review
Traditional audits of casino marketing departments, performed by accounting firms, tend to focus on internal controls, cash handling procedures and how marketing expenditures are accounted for. Audits often do not question why certain promotions are conducted, only how they are conducted. They also do not address how casino marketing allocates its expenditures across advertising, promotions, direct mail, comps and other programs. Most importantly, traditional audits do not examine a casino's player reinvestment rate.
The GMA Marketing Review qualitatively examines the strengths of a casino's marketing strategies, quantitatively looks at the performance of marketing expenditures against revenue, evaluates player reinvestment by tier segment, and examines the ways that strategies and tactics are implemented. The GMA Marketing Review provides an accurate evaluation of a casino's marketing efforts and a roadmap to make marketing more effective.
Player Rewards Programs
A well-designed player rewards program is essential to any casino's success. Like most hospitality enterprises, customers frequent those businesses that recognize their loyalty and give them reasons to return. GMA has developed reward programs for casinos and resorts across the globe. GMA designs programs that match the capabilities of the property, and incorporates both aspirational and attainable elements that meet the needs of the market and the needs of the business. GMA also determines the appropriate level of player reinvestment for each tier so that players are compensated appropriately for their loyalty.
Project Development
The development and operation of a casino project is a complex process. GMA's partners have extensive experience developing, opening, and operating casino properties, from modest sized casinos to multi-billion dollar integrated resorts. The process begins by carefully examining the five key attributes (Product, Position, Processes, Pricing, and People). GMA can assist the developer in financial forecasting, site selection, master-planning, facility programming, and project management, helping to mitigate development and startup risks. A carefully considered and well executed plan will aid the operators to meet and exceed market expectations and achieve forecasted results.
Operational Reviews & Due Diligence
Operational reviews and due diligence provide an unbiased, independent evaluation of the enterprise's operations. By bringing in an independent third party, the client will benefit from a fresh perspective on the operation's efficiency, marketing programs, and internal strengths and weaknesses.
- Review of historical financial performance
- Conduct site visits, meet with management, talk with employees and guests
- Shop the property and the competition
- Analysis
- Prepare a summary of findings
- Offer recommendations to improve property performance
GMA's partners and associates have the knowledge and experience to effectively evaluate a property and provide the guidance necessary to improve customer service levels, enhance team member engagement, and improve financial performance.
Emergency Management Services
Every casino at one time or another is faced with a vacancy in its leadership team. The loss of a general manager or director requires that leadership carefully and thoughtfully conduct a search to identify the ideal candidate to lead the casino enterprise. This task takes time, yet the casino still needs leadership to guide the property on a day-to-day basis. GMA provides Emergency Management Services, where highly skilled and experienced management assumes the leadership role on an interim basis, thereby allowing leadership to conduct a thorough executive search without pressure to fill the position immediately. GMA's interim general managers provide stability and continuity during the search process.
Crisis Communications
At any point in time, a hospitality enterprise or company can experience an incident or event that creates a communications crisis. GMA has the expertise to handle rapid response communications for organizations at their most critical times. GMA's team members have dozens of years of experience in gaming, hospitality, tourism, and other sectors to address the organization's most critical communications needs.

From rural villages to bustling urban centres, Global North and Global South alike, more than six billion people are connected through mobile phones. At the touch of a button, millions of people can be reached. This unprecedented level of mobile connectivity means direct, instant communication with broader groups of people is possible, presenting new opportunities for informed, participatory development work.
There are a plethora of organizations using mobile technology to facilitate or enhance development. This two-part article of Innovate Development's technology and humanitarianism series will focus on two: Text To Change (TTC) and Trilogy Emergency Relief Application (TERA).
Through TTC, a cellphone becomes a tool for researchers, allowing them to collect widespread survey data, and for educators, giving them a platform to send information to targeted populations. Founded in 2008, it was developed for an interactive HIV/AIDS education campaign in Uganda. The first campaign saw 15,000 people receive educational text messages, and the rate of HIV testing doubled.
TTC has since greatly diversified its campaigns by partnering with other organizations, such as Health Child, Orange telecommunications and Mukuba University in Gambia, among many others. Programs are in place across five continents. How the technology is used depends on the nature of the program. In some instances, mobile users are sent surveys and may be rewarded with air time as a result of their participation. A partnership with the World Bank, for instance, collected data from more than 5,600 surveys in 11 countries on intra-regional trade commitments in Africa – all within a six-month period.
Education programs send out information via text on health, hygiene, agriculture and government accountability, for instance. A local organization in Bolivia has partnered with TTC to send out information to farmers about disease prevention for crops, weather notices and other tips. In Tanzania, TTC is facilitating what a spokesperson calls the "biggest interactive SMS campaign ever": the Healthy Pregnancy, Healthy Baby campaign. It has reached 500,000 women in the past year, including those in remote locations, with more than 32 million free texts with information about maternal health. This includes information about when it's important to have check-ups (which many women do not seek), for instance, as well as tips on the delivery and post-natal period, with the aim to reduce infant and maternal mortality. Registration is voluntary and free of charge.
While phone ownership is a critical element of these programs, literacy is not. Participants can call in to a toll-free number to access an Interactive Voice Response system that will take them through the information. This is often advertised by radio.
Text to Change has had 107 projects with 50,149,254 texts sent and an uptake percentage between 40 and 65 per cent. This certified B-Corporation is currently working on an Ebola awareness campaign with the government of Mali.
Check back tomorrow for part two of this series featuring the Trilogy Emergency Relief Application (TERA).

Robust Steel Scaffolding for the USA
Install Fast with Proscaf
For higher heights, often what is normally solved by the use of aluminum scaffolding needs a more robust solution. That solution is steel scaffolding. Traditionally, this option is seen as the cumbersome and slow-to-install way of doing things, but at SafeSmart Access, you can have the sturdiness, compliance, and the time-efficiency normally only associated with aluminum.
To tick all the boxes, explore Proscaf, SafeSmart's quick-to-erect steel scaffolding.
The Proscaf system allows for full versatility with configuration options. With simple instructions, minimal components and bolt-free connections, Proscaf is easy enough to erect single-handedly. Add to this, a range of complementary accessories, and you have a system that provides not only safe height access, but also OSHA compliance and increased worksite efficiency.
Unique Componentry. Unified Solution.
SafeSmart Access understands that not all buildings and structures are a simple shape. To get over and around irregularly-shaped structures and obstacles, your average off the shelf scaffolding will not suffice. This is why SafeSmart Access make all componentry for the Proscaf system available separately, so you can create access solutions that fit the bill perfectly.
For all trades and applications, Proscaf has some very fundamental advantages:
- Proscaf locks together to create craneable towers and sections
- VERY strong – able to create bridges and large cantilevers
- Added strength makes Proscaf ideal for use in formwork and for propping.
For greater heights than what aluminum scaffolding is recommended for, our range of steel scaffolding and accessories suit applications such as:
- Residential projects
- Bridge building
- Birdcage scaffolding
- Multi-storey buildings

Sound specialist says to itself: "this video lark is easy, I can do that".
Creative, masters of all things audio, has decided to show its prowess with all things video. Step forward the Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor.
The latest edition to the high end Audigy family is the first ever Sound Blaster with video editing capabilities. The "ultra sleek" (most definitely their words, not mine) Volvo influenced (they sound more like my words) device offers audio playback, accelerated video editing on the fly and it doubles as a four port USB2.0 hub for good measure.
Taking a closer inspection, what this adds up to is onboard hardware encoding in Mpeg and DV, THX Certified 24bit music playback in up to 7.1 surround sound. There are also connectivity options galore with inputs and outputs for DV, S-Video and composite video which means you can connect up to and preview clips from camcorders, TVs, VCRs and just about anything else you can think of.
A clever trick the ZS VE has up its sleeve is that any content it edits can be converted back to its original source and played back through a camcorder, TV or VCR.
A complete suite of Ulead's MovieFactory 3SE video editing software comes bundled with the ZS VE. Should you be suitably tempted to take the plunge, you'll find it comes with an SRP of £199.99 including VAT and is out now, now, now.

If I had 3dsMax, loading it up would be much easier, eh? Funny, I have the exact same problem with starting up my Ferrari. What are the odds of that?
I really like that red, personally. It's your mod, of course, so do it the way you like it, eh?
I think the only thing wrong with the brown is the lack of anything brighter to contrast it with. Maybe something reflective... The best brown I've ever seen was a paint job on my chopper. It was black lacquer coated with a thick layer of transparent (candy apple) red, then 10 coats of clear coat over the top. People would inevitably spend time looking at it with a WTF?!? look on their face, and if there were 3 people looking, they'd each have a different notion of what color they thought it was depending on the light where they were standing.
It took all day, but it finally occured to me that what I see on my monitor may not be what you see at all. First therte is the differences in vid cards, etc., and then there is my low vision which makes brighter things appear dark. For instance, I can't detect any difference between dark blue and black materials anymore when they are in my hand...

We have seen that deconvolution tries to select one answer from the many that are possible. `CLEAN' uses a procedure to select a plausible image from the feasible set. Some of `CLEAN''s problems arise just because it is procedural, so there is no simple equation describing the output image. This makes it difficult to analyze the errors (noise) in `CLEAN'. By contrast, the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) is not procedural: the image selected is that which fits the data, to within the noise level, and also has maximum entropy. The use of the term entropy has lead to some confusion about the justification for MEM. There is no consensus on this subject (e.g., Frieden 1972; Wernecke & D'Addario 1976; Gull & Daniell 1978; Jaynes 1982; Narayan & Nityananda 1984, 1986; Cornwell & Evans 1985). The authors' preferred justification defines the entropy as something which, when maximized, produces a positive image with a compressed range in pixel values. Image entropy thus defined is therefore not to be confused with a ``physical entropy'' (see Cornwell 1984a). The compression in pixel values forces the MEM image to be ``smooth'', and the positivity forces super-resolution on bright, isolated objects. There are many possible forms of this extended type of entropy, see e.g., Narayan & Nityananda 1984, but one of the best for general purpose use is:
where is a ``default'' image that incorporates a priori knowledge about the object. For example, a low resolution image of the object can be used to good effect as the default.
A requirement that each visibility point be fitted exactly is nearly always incompatible with the positivity of the MEM image. Consequently, data are usually incorporated in a constraint that the fit, , of the predicted visibility to that observed, be close to the expected value:
Simply maximizing subject to the constraint that be equal to its expected value leads to an image which fits the long spacings much too well (better than 1 ) and the zero and short spacings very poorly. The cause of this effect is that the entropy is insensitive to spatial information. It can be avoided (Cornwell & Evans 1985) by constraining the predicted zero-spacing flux density to be that provided by the user.
Algorithms for solving this maximization problem have been given by Wernecke & D'Addario (1976), by Cornwell & Evans (1985), and by Skilling & Bryan (1984). The Cornwell-Evans algorithm was coded in the NRAO's Astronomical Image Processing System (classic AIPS) as `VTESS'. This algorithm works well for many cases and its code is in the public domain. It is generally faster than `CLEAN' for larger images, the break-even point being around 1 million pixels.
MEM is an extremely flexible approach to deconvolution that can readily handle heterogeneous data types; this has made it particularly powerful for mosaicing.

Marijuana licenses for cultivation, processing, and dispensing are required in every state where both medical marijuana and recreational marijuana are legal, but in some states, those state-issued licenses aren't enough for a business to participate in the marijuana economy. Sometimes, businesses need a local license to operate, too.
Since marijuana is legalized at the state level, state governments aren't always brave enough to say each city and town has to follow the same rules. In fact, local rules can get extremely varied making the process of tracking marijuana licenses tricky. The Cannabiz Media Database includes all of the most recent licensing information available through daily or weekly Cannabiz Alerts, but without access to those notifications, getting an accurate and timely picture of what's happening in a specific state is challenging.
Let's take a look at Colorado as an example. In Colorado, medical and recreational marijuana are both legal. Cultivators, processors, medical dispensaries, and recreational retailers all have to obtain specific state-issued licenses in order to do business within the state. Depending on where your business is located within Colorado, you might need a city or local license, too, and the fees for those differ significantly.
Consider Denver as an example. The Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) licenses and regulates marijuana licenses for the state, but the Denver Department of Excise and Licenses (EXL) licenses and regulates licenses for the city. Denver has its own medical marijuana code and a separate retail marijuana code. That means the city's marijuana laws don't necessarily match the state's laws. A city's regulations could be stricter and its licensing requirements and fees are set by local government officials. And every city could be different!
Are you starting to see the picture? It's confusing, right?
The Licensing Burden
State and local licensing is a significant burden to marijuana businesses. Again, let's use Colorado as an example.
On July 1st of this year, medical marijuana dispensaries and growers will be required to start having their products tested before selling them (testing is already a requirement in the state for recreational marijuana). Mary Shinn of The Durango Herald reports that this new testing requirement could be a "boon for Durango testing facilities," but only if local licenses are in place in time.
The problem for local testing labs in Durango isn't that they're not prepared for the growth that mandatory medical marijuana testing could bring to their current recreational marijuana testing businesses. They're staffed up and ready to go. The problem is the city of Durango hasn't created the city license that the testing labs will be required to obtain in order to test medical marijuana products.
Shin reports that the city expects to approve the new license for medical marijuana testing, "but city officials want to work on several changes to local marijuana regulations, including the new license, and pass them at the same time." They don't know how long that will take.
As anyone with a business background knows, being first to market is a very big deal. What do you think will happen when July 1st comes and the hundreds of medical marijuana cultivation facilities need to get their products tested? You can bet they won't wait for the Durango facilities to get their local licenses. Instead, they'll go to one of the other dozen testing facilities in the state. And once the growers have relationships established with those other testing facilities, getting them to switch to a Durango facility will be a lot more difficult.
Bottom-line, state and local licensing burdens have a negative effect on the marijuana economy. What's happening in Durango, Colorado is just one example.
