Well tomorrow is the opening day of compARTment, you may have seen the posters that I made in an earlier post. Just to get you excited (if you live in the Brighton area) I thought I'd post a photo of some of the zines that'll be at the Open Market, off London Road, at some unspecified time after 9am. Poetry and apocalyptic postcards from the Young Hanoverians, some stuff from Andy P (creator of Celph, there in the background) and some other stuff about zombies and social unrest....and apparently my friend Nicole is bringing her comic down, which apparently has something to do with Nietzsche! Score!
But eagle-eyed viewers might have noticed a new-looking-brown envelope! Yes folks, that's right, there's a new edition of Being & Tim, featuring 8 more ontological adventures...Still only £1! Available at all good comic shops once I get round to putting them in there. But available at the open market tomorrow from about 9ish....!!
Last thing now, too good not to mention, I finally got round to collecting my friend's spinning wheel, i am officially A SPINSTER!!! WOOOHOOOOO!!!!! And if you don't believe me that spinning wheels are related to the word spinster then check out the dictionary!
Cheerio, hope to see you tomorrow!

almost what i said it would be...!
In other news, I'm going to be exhibiting Being & Tim in Sweden for the Dragonfly festival in August! I'm very excited about this, but also a bit scared, as it'll be my first proper exhibition, and there's still a lot to do....!
Anyway, I'll put that Being & Nothingness cartoon up soon, it's pretty cute

Simone Weil STRIKES again!
Here's ANOTHER joke gleaned from the writings of Simone Weil featuring Nothingness, Being's binary opposite, who you may remember from here and here. It's funny cos they're binary opposites!
Anyway, as always i'm in a permanent rush. I'll post some news tomorrow, with a little cartoon that my friend Kevin drew of Being and Nothingness (he kinda came up with him, so he deserves some credit!)
'Til tomorrow!

a not very philosophical post with FREE Being & Tim Business card!
|Exhibit A
well, the two things i've been working on this week are: exhibit A: Being and Tim business card! Print some off and pass them around your friends! You'll soon be the coolest kids in town! And if you live in Brighton, UK, you might be interested in printing out the other poster I made: another (better) design for my friend's open space regeneration group compARTment. I'm hoping to run a zine stand there in a week or two, so will probably have less time to draw cartoons cos I'll be e-mailing and doing all the boring stuff that you always seem to forget is involved in the glitzy glamourous world of zine fests. But come along if you're in the area, July 31st at Brighton's Open Market. There'll be music and zines and lots of elastic! (intriging no?!)
|Exhibit B
So sorry for the boring post, but I'll try and work on the long-awaited Schrodinger's Cat in the Hat for next time! Cheerio!

Well, you asked for it...
Anyway, Simone Weil, despite being one of my favourite philosophers, doesn't exactly 'brim' with comic potential: in fact she's up there with Adorno as one of the most austere philosophers I've ever read. If you're unfamiliar with her work then check out these quotes for starters. Could be a good 'straight man' though? Custard pie in the face routine perhaps? All ideas on a Stamped Addressed Email to firstname.lastname@example.com please....
However Mark Steel has recently opened my eyes to all the comic potential available from Marx: he sure was a colourful character! So expect lots of cartoons based on this video very soon! (I'm sort of in love with Mark Steel now)
Also, despite my attempt at garnishing your opinion about the direction of Being & Tim, I'm still a Nietzschean and therefore don't really believe in democracy! Should I have mentioned that before hand?!
See you soon suckers!! ;-)

What ho! I'm feeling better, and during my convalescence from 'strange-zombie-tiredness disease' i not only watched numerous sci-fi films but manage to finish Super Kant 3! Just in case the reference to 'uberman' isn't clear, the cartoon's actually a sort of lame attempt to summarize Nietzsche's critique of Kant's aesthetics in On The Genealogy of Morality (Third essay, Section 6).
The bare bones of Nietzsche's argument here seem to be that something just can't give pleasure without interest: we're precisely interested in being right. Nietzsche thinks the idea of 'pleasure without interest' is a 'non-concept and absurdity', which relies on the presupposition that we are all possessors of a transcendental, purely rational will. I guess if we could hold such an objective standpoint then we could really understand the idea of being non-interested, but Nietzsche points out that every standpoint is couched in the conditions which allow it to thrive: it's self-preservative, and for Nietzsche, shouldn't be imposed upon others who live under different conditions. I'm not sure if it's really this that leads him to call Kant a catastrophic spider, but he does, in The Antichrist. (The Portable Nietzsche. Penguin. 1954. pp578). And Kant's comments at the end are to do with his view on animals, how we should treat them as examples of how we should treat humanity, I forget where he says this but I know I read it in that Philosophy Anthology that I had in the First Year of Uni! It's like when tamagotchi's came out and everyone was worried because if young kids starved their computer-generated dog creatures that surely meant they'd do the same to their little brother. (Incidentally, I pretty much used exactly the same joke in another cartoon....don't tell anyone!!!)
Also, I thought it would be funny to see how much I could get Uberman to look like John Matrix, seeing as Arnie's about as close to the stereotype of the ubermensch as you can get. However it's worth pointing out that Nietzsche's use of the German term ubermensch is gender neutral, therefore 'superhuman' is more accurate than the term 'superman'.......there are lots of other ways in which the typical view of Nietzsche-as-fascist is wrong but that's another cartoon for another time...!
Oh, and if you have time, fill out my poll! Just was interested who the coolest philosopher is!
see you soon! becca xo

uh-oh spaghetti ohs!
Well, I'm gonna come clean. I've not done a Being & Tim for today. I've been super-busy working on a poster/flyer thing for my friend's organisation compARTment (see left). They work to use derelict sites for workshops and community events and brilliant stuff like that. Anywayses, they've got some stalls at our local market, and said I could do a zinefest there if I made a poster. I kinda like it, and I definitely enjoy geeking out on photoshop! (the words are gonna go in the blue bit, I don't know what they are yet!)
But, just so you're not entirely bereft of some bad philosophy puns and toilet humour, I've also included a couple of very old sketches of Being & Tim, back when I was still working out how to draw them. They'll probably never make it into final pieces. But you never know, I've got to run out of ideas at some point!The second one's for all the Cavellians in the house....good old Stan :-)
(although for the record, his reading of Nietzsche in Cities of Words is appalling. E-mail if you wanna discuss...!)
Anyway I'll do my best to do a proper one for Monday, have a good weekend in the meantime!

"All gave some—some gave all."
Info from Wikipedia
An UPDATE on the USAFSS:
This is the logo that we all remember from the 1950's. However, the United States Air Force Security Service (USAFSS) that many of us in knew in the late 40's and 50's has changed over the years... During the post WWII era, and well into the Cold War era, USAFSS personnel were mostly assigned to forward-based locations around the world. Beginning in the 1960's the USAFSS, evolved into the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency (AF ISR), in order to meet changing technological demands and the exponential increase in the electronic spectrum now a part of the mission. Thus, the mission has transitioned to what is now largely a rear-based, remotely-linked operation, mixed with frequent deployments under the Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) concept. Like the USAFSS, the AF ISR Agency is in the fight every day—whether CONUS based or out front in some remote deployment. Personnel are still deployed to hot spots all over the globe, based on specific Combatant Commander Requirements, which are exercised on a continuing basis in the global War on Terrorism.

Crisp sound quality. Solar panel charges the unit without an AC adapter. Can be used with or without an ear hook.
Solar panel doesn't improve continuous talk time. No noise-canceling circuitry. Finicky volume controls.
Bottom Line
The Iqua 603 SUN Bluetooth headset not only sounds good, its integrated solar panel keeps it continually charged. Unless you're a heavy talker, you may never need to plug it in.
A solar-powered Bluetooth headset seems like a pretty obvious innovation when you think about it: The sun charges the headset while you're wearing it, eliminating the need to connect it to a power source to juice up. The Iqua 603 SUN accomplishes exactly that. In fact, Iqua promises that its ground-breaking product provides "infinite" standby time and up to 12 hours of talk time. Despite the claim, the unit comes with a wall charger, and it also has a built-in mini USB port that can recharge the headset via laptop or desktop computer (cable not included). The company even goes so far as to say that you need charge it fully only one timeafter that, only the heaviest users? will need to plug the headset in ever again. The 603 SUN accomplishes this feat with its photovoltaic cell, which grabs any available light to charge itself up and keep its battery topped off. And I'm happy to report that it actually works. While this eco-conscious product has a few flaws, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for a good-sounding headset.
Similar Products
The Iqua 603 SUN measures 1.0 by 1.9 by 0.5 inches (HWD) and weighs 0.5 ounce. It's a fairly blocky design, with a well-sized earbud encased entirely in rubber. The unit has a standard-issue multifunction button that answers and ends calls, redials, activates voice dialing, and also switches calls between your handset and the headset. Two flimsy-feeling volume buttons are located on top of the unit. To put the headset into pairing mode, I pressed both of the volume buttons and held them for just one secondquicker than other headsetsand had no trouble pairing the unit with a Sprint BlackBerry Pearl 8130 and an (original) Verizon Motorola Q. Iqua claims that the headset can be paired with up to eight devices, but it works with only one at a time. The Plantronics Voyager 520, by contrast, doesn't have to be connected and reconnected between two different devices.
The retail package includes an ear hook, two earplugs in different sizes, and a carrying strap. I used the headset without the ear hook for most of my testing. This worked out pretty well provided I used my left earfor some reason it never stayed put in my right ear. Even then, it fell out a number of times. Headsets like the SoundID SM100 are true in-ear designs, so they fit well and don't budge even without the use of a hook. Some folks, however, find the in-ear earbud uncomfortable. Other models, such as the Aliph Jawbone and Plantronics Explorer 370 Rugged, are designed for use with a hook. The Iqua 603 SUN works both ways, but if you're running around a lotor have strange, lopsided ears like mineyou'll want to attach the hook.
In the dozens of test calls I made, sound quality on my end was pristine, with no odd artifacts. Though the various parties I spoke with did comment that it sounded as if I was using a headset, the transmission was nonetheless crystal clear, and there were no dropouts. The 603 SUN also passed my driving-with-the-windows-down test with no problems, despite the unit's lack of noise-canceling circuitry. Range was also solid; I achieved about 20 feet before hearing static or audio dropouts. The volume buttons fared less wellthey missed key presses and were generally sluggish to respond.
In complete darkness, the 603 SUN lasted 8 hours 33 minutes on a talk-time rundown testan impressive result for any Bluetooth headset, even if it fell significantly short of the company's 12-hour claim. Then I placed it on a windowsill to absorb as much sunlight as possibleit was a partly sunny day, so there was some cloud cover tooand ran a second talk time test. At the end, I saw a virtually identical result of 8 hours 34 minutes. Clearly the solar panel isn't doing much during actual calls. But since the panel "tops off" the battery while in standby mode, you'll probably never reach for the charger unless you're talking for hours at a time each day. In fact, I noticed that if I used the 603 SUN for about an hour or two per day, it would stay fully charged, and I could leave it in standby mode indefinitely. But when I drained it completely and then tried to charge the headset entirely by solar, I was out of luck. You need the AC adapter or a USB port in this situation.
Style-wise, I can think of a number of other headsetsincluding the Aliph Jawbone and the Voyager 520 mentioned abovethat are more attractive than the 603 SUN. On the other hand, none are as eco-friendly or as efficient to use, thanks to the headset's self-charging ability. The Iqua 603 SUN isn't perfect, but the convenience factor alone could be enough to convince some buyers to pick it up. The good sound quality doesn't hurt, either.

Resveratrol Side Effects
Resveratrol Side Effects
Resveratrol is very important subject of research on which extensive research is still being done but very little harmful aspects have been discovered scientifically. The negativity is mainly based on user response. Remember that these side effects can vary from one person to another depending on the physical structure and composition of the user. The user goes through caffeine high or thrill feeling is experienced which is often accompanied by dizziness.
Resveratrol Side Effects - Common Complaints
Insomnia, joint ache in the hands, feet and hips, diarrhea stomach pain, discolored urine, flu, and increase in acne are the most heard complaints after wrong dosage consumption of Resveratrol based compounds. Reports of numbness and increased heart beat in certain extreme conditions have also been encountered.
Resveratrol Side Effects - Positive Side Effects
Some of the most popular positive side effects include enhanced capability to focus on any particular work, a good cholesterol level, boost in body energy and lessening of the bowel sensitivity. The studies in relation to Resveratrol are still an continuing process which is yet to explore new benefits. It can control cancer development, slow down the aging process and increase the lifespan and so on. To avoid the unfavorable Resveratrol side effects you must seek the doctor's assistance first and take adequate dosage of Resveratrol.

This weekend I'm giving a talk at WordCamp Victoria about using AJAX in WordPress. The talk uses a couple of code snippets to demonstrate creating a simple plugin that passes some data from the client to the server and then updates the web page using data sent back from the server. Here's the code for the final, most functional, plugin:
Firstly the PHP that runs on the server:
<?php /* Plugin Name: AJAX Demo 8 Description: A demonstration of how to use AJAX within WordPress Author: Jon Jennings Version: 1.0 Author URI: http://jonjennings.org/ */ class ajax_demo8 { public function __construct() { add_shortcode('ajax-demo8', array($this, 'shortcode_callback')); wp_enqueue_script( 'ajax-demo8', plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ ) . 'ajax-demo.js', array( 'jquery', 'json2' ) ); add_action('wp_ajax_ad_submit8', array($this, 'submit_callback')); add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_ad_submit8', array($this, 'submit_callback')); add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', array($this, 'enqueue')); } public function enqueue() { wp_localize_script( 'ajax-demo8', 'ajaxDemoData', array( 'ajaxUrl' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ), '_nonce' => wp_create_nonce('ad-nonce') ) ); } public function shortcode_callback($atts) { $ret = '
'; $ret .= '
' . '<input type="button" name="send8" id="send8" value="click me" />' . '
'; $ret .= '
' . 'Please wait' . '
'; $ret .= '
' . '
'; $ret .= '
'; return($ret); } public function submit_callback() { $filename = sanitize_file_name( $_POST['filename'] ); $nonce = $_POST['nonce']; // Warning - kinda dangerous $file = file_get_contents(plugins_url( $filename , __FILE__ )); $file_data = base64_encode($file); if (!wp_verify_nonce($nonce, 'ad-nonce')) { echo json_encode( array( 'result' => 'error' )); } else { echo json_encode( array( 'image' => $file_data ) ); } exit; } } $ajax_demo8 = new ajax_demo8(); ?>
And then the JavaScript that the client runs:
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) { $('#send8').click(function () { $("#ad-form").hide(); $("#ad-wait").show(); // url, data, success_callback // http://localhost/wordcamp/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=ad_submit6&input=12312 $.post( ajaxDemoData.ajaxUrl, { action: 'ad_submit8', filename: 'taf.gif', nonce: ajaxDemoData._nonce }, ad_success ); }); function ad_success(a) { var data = JSON.parse(a); $('#ad-output').html(''); $('#ad-wait').hide(); $('#ad-output').show(); } });
(You'll need to supply your own GIF though!)
Edit: Note that if you actually just wanted to display the image in the browser, there's no reason to load the image's data into the server – all you'd need to do is to send the image's URL to the client and have the client reference the URL rather than the data. The browser would then be responsible for loading the image from the web server without it ever being loaded into PHP there.
You should also note, as I mentioned in the presentation, that the code I showed live allows a client to request ANY, I repeat ANY, file off your server. So if the client asks for '../../../wp-config.php' then it would give them a copy of your WordPress database details! This is not a good thing. The WordPress function sanitize_file_name() is your friend here – it'll strip out any dodgy characters, including periods or slashes or asterisks, from a string. This means the client can no longer escape from your plugin's directory. Just to be safe, I've updated the code here to use that. However the client could still request your plugin's code, so if you needed to do something like this in a production environment you should also take measures to prevent that – eg set a naming strategy for the files you expect to be requested and check that it's being followed.
Thirdly, Joey pointed out that embedding base64 encoded binary data in the browser is generally a bad thing. Base64 encoding is often used to hide malicious code (I should remember this point – I was hacked once with the code disguised in base64!) and so anything that uses it will be rejected by the WordPress repositories.
My purpose writing this part of the demo wasn't to show best practices, it was more to show that you can use AJAX to transmit complex data to the client and not just a simple string or integer. That and a cute finish for my talk 🙂
Within the next couple of days, I'll add a post explaining the content in more detail.

"I made my tea in the evening using the easy to follow directions on the package and sat back to enjoy all its powerful but graceful benefits. Upon waking I was aware of a very thorough cleansing preparing to happen and I was thinking wow that's so fast. There was no pain or discomfort involved what-so-ever, at least it is for me. The tea is also very tasty with a few drops of honey and a squeeze of lemon. I recommend this product" †

Perfect for menstrual problem
"I suffer from PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and this tea helped with the menstrual cramps and regulating my periods. It was easy to use as long as you have a tea infuser. It does not have a strong odor it actually smells good. It comes in a re-sealable bag so you don't have to worry about finding a container to put the tea in after you have opened it. I recommend giving this a try if you are having menstrual problems. It has really helped me." †

It's almost Fall, y'all! There are so many cute pieces out there that I want to add to my wardrobe. I've currently been on a Nordstrom kick, higher than normal! Maybe it's because I live right next door to it. It's so tempting living next to Nordstrom, I go at least once a week. There are so many good finds right now from BP to Topshop to Madewell. I love that all these pieces (with the exception of one , #3) are under $100. What's on your Fall wish list? Mine keeps growing and growing!

Sport Climbing in Malta & Gozo
A Guide by Simon Alden, Jeffrey Camilleri and Stevie Haston
Tufa Publications £23.95
The Maltese Islands of Malta and Gozo in the middle of the Mediterranean have a diverse history of climbing starting with trad and then later on the development of sport climbing. Indeed the guidebook that preceded this one, that was published back in 2007, had a total of close to 1,500 trad and sport climbs documented. That guide is now out of print and if you want to visit these islands, that are just a three-hour flight from the UK, the only option is Sport Climbing in Malta & Gozo covering just the sport climbing, a style of climbing that is growing quickly and clearly evident by the number of new bolted routes added in the last few years. Published by Tufa Productions the authors certainly know a bit about climbing on these beautiful islands. Simon Alden is the president of The Malta Climbing Club, Jeffrey Camilleri is a very talented climber and nice fella too with a good eye for a line and, of course, Stevie Haston doesn't need any introduction to most UK climbers. Stevie is originally from Gozo and has recently rediscovered the island and the wealth of climbing and became involved first hand in developing new routes including the sensational 55m roof crack King of Kings (F8b+) plus more than 100 new routes.
So is this a place to visit in search of hot rock? Well having experienced the island on more than one occasion there is a desire to encourage more climbers there and turn the islands into a popular sport climbing destination and I guess partly the reason for the growth in sport routes is for the 'hot rock fix' many of us crave during the winter months. The rear page of the guide sums it up well, 'The Maltese Islands are a fast-developing sport climbing destination a short flying time away from most European cities. They offer over 500 fully bolted sport routes, easy access to all the crags, short distances and mild weather, giving 12 months a year climbing potential. They are a scenic interesting place to visit with family too with many cultural attractions in a small area. Many of the climbs and crags featured are totally new and include more than 120 routes developed by well-known climber Stevie Haston on Gozo during 2012 and 2013. While there are no mountains in Malta, the beautiful, rugged coastline, inland ridges, caves and valleys provide excellent climbing possibilities on pocketed limestone at every grade with the hardest so far at F8c+ with potential for even harder routes'.
So what about the guide? The full colour 168-page guidebook showcases the wide spectrum of sport routes with a total of 21 crags featured across the two islands (13 on Malta and eight on Gozo which is just a 20 minute ferry ride away from Malta) with bolted sport routes spread across a wide range of grades from F3 up to F8c+. The layout of the guide is very simplistic and doesn't getting bogged down in too much over-elaborate design that can infect some guidebooks, it's a case of what you see is what you get, some will like it, others won't. A bit of a disappointment is the quality of some of the climbing images which could be better and sell the area more, the cover is a case in point and having seen some of the beautiful settings and stunningly photogenic routes it's a shame. That aside the real question is does the guidebook deliver in its main purpose and that is to offer clear and accurate information. Whilst I can't vouch for the very latest developments the guide does this job well and is pretty easy to follow. The intro section to the guide has information about the island, albeit very brief and something I feel could do with expanding on but there is sufficient, with some tourist information and pages explaining the ethics etc. There is also a key to the numerous symbols that are used in the guide and are now obligatory in any sport guide, the symbols are very self explanatory and easy to grasp. This is followed by an overall map of the two islands to roughly locate the crags. We then move on to the meat of the guide, the crags and routes. At the start of each cliff there is a location 'Google Earth' style map. I found this style of map not that clear, for them to work they would have to be bigger and in my opinion a normal line style map would have been much better. A plus point here is the quality of the detailed access information, crucial as some cliffs are tricky to locate and can have complex access, particularly a number of the sea cliffs. Also on this page we have a chart highlighting the grades at each crag and some extra information such as where to eat, any parking information, where to swim etc. Colour photos are used throughout for the crag topos with the numbered lines clearly marked. All the routes are shown with route lengths and French grades with English text throughout, so no problems with translating.
To summarise, a useful guide to an area well worth visiting for something a little different with average winter temperature around 17 degrees Celsius and they drive on the same side of the road as us, so no excuses. If you want something a little different buy the guide, book the flights and check the islands out.

text: I have known Ashley for years and when she contacted me to shoot her wedding in Hawaii this past summer I was more then thrilled. Ashley and Jay are a wonderful couple who had not only their marriage to celebrate, but also the birth of their sweet baby girl, Lani. They were married at the breath taking Lanikuhonua Cultural Insitute in Kapolei, Hawaii last May. Almost all their friends camped with their families at the adjoining camp site that connects to the wedding venue, which made for a rocking three day celebration. Ashley & Jay also invited all their friends and family to be a part of their ceremony by inviting them to renew their vows in front of one of the most beautiful Hawaii sunsets. It was a perfect event for the sweetest couple:) Thanks again to Ashley, Jay and the rest of their friends and family for letting me be a part of their very special day.

Arbitrary code injection vulnerabilities in Ipswitch IMAP server
The IMAP server by Ipswitch, which is installed together with Collaboration Suite and IMail, contains arbitrary code injection and execution vulnerabilities. New software versions have been provided to fix these bugs.
TippingPoint has reported a hole in the Imailsec component which can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code. Also, specially crafted subscribe commands can cause a buffer overflow. Security service provider iDefense has reported two vulnerabilities in the IMAP server. Authenticated users can cause a buffer overflow using malformed search or search charset commands and thereby inject arbitrary code, which is executed with SYSTEM privileges. The changelog provided by Ipswitch also mentions another hole, which can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers to crash the service.
Ipswitch has released updated software versions to fix these vulnerabilities. Administrators are advised to install these updates as soon as possible or to disable IMAP support and use POP3 or Webmail instead, if an update is not possible.
- Ipswitch IMail Server 2006 Multiple IMAP Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities, security advisory by iDefense

If you read our review of the ATH-M50x closed-back headphones, I made it pretty clear that I was a fan of what Audio-Technica was offering. The ATH-M50x's are well-known for giving Beats By Dre headphones a run for their money, and at a much more affordable price.
I also had the opportunity to go hands-on with one of Audio-Technica's newest offerings, the ATH-MSR7NC. These noise-cancelling cans differ in many ways from the company's mainstream offering, and at more than double the price of the M50x's, venture into more premium territory. Should you consider them? expand full story

If you're going to leave an iPhone in a dock all night to charge, or on your desk all day at work, you'll want a powered one. Options there include Apple's own dock, Belkin's Charge Dock and Enblue's Premium One.
But if you are constantly picking up and putting down your iPhone in the course of the day, sometimes a simple unpowered stand can be more convenient. I tried a couple of iMac-style stands supplied by MobileFun: the Elago M2, left, and Spigen S310, right.
Both are very similar in overall form-factor. An aluminum body with iMac-style foot, two prongs at the front to hold the phone in place, padding to cushion the phone against the stand and cutouts at the rear in case you do want to run a Lightning cable through to it. The obvious visual difference between the two is that the Spigen has a black rubber coating at the front …

Liverpool 1-0 Everton
Torres was unavailable for the Goodison derby, but it was his finish that made the difference here in a typically tight game. Too bad we spurned some other chances, but I'd always take 1-0 in one-off games.
Hopefully five points ahead with six games to play puts us in a stronger position, and takes some pressure off our up-coming Premier League visit to Arsenal - I'd like to say maybe we can afford to lose that, but we have some other tricky fixtures still (I'm including those at the bottom, because they'll either be scrapping for their lives or suddenly playing without pressure, and teams often start winning once relegated).

I am using swift 2.3 and Xcode 8
I tried to upgrade to Firebase v4 then came to know, v4 supports only swift 3. But my entire project is in Swift v2.3 and Its very difficult to change everything so I want to keep in Swift v2.3 only.
So I am using Firebase 3x series.
I tried Firebase iOS kit v3.10, v3.12 and v3.16
All works perfectly fine with lower iOS 10x and higher 11.1.1
but not receiveing notification on 11.1
Do I need to do anything from my end or is it firebase issue ?
To Upgrade to Firebase v4, need to upgrade Swift to v3 or v4
To upgrade to Swift v4, need to upgrade Xcode to v9
To upgrade to Xcode v9, need to upgrade Mac os to 10.12
Yes Even I faced the same issue on iOS 11.1...
Then updated the iOS version to 11.2 fixed the issue for me.
So feel the issue is with iOS in receing the notifications and not the firebase.

Middle Rasen Primary School featured in every national newspaper in the country in November after our story on its 'Good' Ofsted report.
Ofsted inspectors said the school needed to be more multi cultural in order to take the next step towards being graded 'Outstanding', something MP Sir Edward Leigh claimed was "Political Correctness gone mad" and sparked widespread debate and commentary.
Sticking in our schools, children dressed as superheroes for Children In Need and helped to raise £32.6 million nationally.
There was good news for a Market Rasen couple at the beginning of the month too as they bagged a 10oz gold bullion worth around 9,000.
Sue Blackburn and her husband Mick beat more than 100 people who took part in a treasure hunt to solve the East Lincs The Riddle of the Marshes organised by the Lincolnshire Coastal Grazing Marshes Project.
Meanwhile hundreds gathered around war memorials in Market Rasen, Caistor and Brigg to pay their respects on Remembrance Sunday.
This year's services were particularly poignant as they marked the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War.
And following a police appeal featured in the Rasen Mail after the theft of a number of puppies from their home in North Gulham John Lennon was reunited with two of his beloved Salukis after Amy Garland of the Ark Animal Rescue Centre in North Somercotes tracked the dogs down in Southampton.
November was also the month when hundreds of runners descended upon Market Rasen Racecourse for the town's annual 10k race, won this year in the freezing cold by Lincoln Wellington AC member Shane Robinson.

Property insurance may sound familiar to you. Yes, this type of insurance is not as popular as health insurance and vehicle insurance. Though less popular, it turned out very large benefits.
Protection obtained from property insurance can make one's life much quieter. Moreover, the protection of property insurance can also provide protection against financial risks.
This fact is very important given the property include a home, shop, or kontakan property is worth.
In addition, property insurance also protects from disasters ranging from fire, flood, or theft. These benefits may be familiar, but what about the property insurance benefits as follows:
1. Changing the architect's fees
Home or property suffered severe fire damage to the structure of the building that would be obtained if the cost of rebuilding have property insurance.
But not only that, you are also entitled to the cost of the services of architects. Fun again you are free to choose the architect and free redesign the house as you wish without having to pay anything.
It should be remembered property insurance does not cover homes that are structurally dominated by wood. This is because the insurer considers wooden house more susceptible to fire.
Give Temporary Living
2. Changing the cost of paint
And what about the house flooded? Flooding usually not to damage the structure of the building, but did make the house look dull because of paint peeling.
If you have property insurance with the extension of benefits over risks of flooding, the insurance company will cover the cost of repainting.
3. Replacing money and securities
Not just a wall or structure of the house. Property insurance also protects the furniture in it. This included furniture and securities.
If you have property insurance with the expansion of money protection insurance, property insurance will reimburse the money lost due to theft, fire, flood, or other disaster.
4. Providing temporary shelter
Then should stay where it currently houses rebuilt? Relax, because the compensation in the form of temporary residence are also covered property insurance.
During the house has been rebuilt, you will receive cash to hire a temporary home. Money given in accordance with the existing insured value of the insurance policy.
In essence, you who are stricken by no fees that actually make you more depressed. Everything is secured by property insurance.

I'm going to upgrade lens before upgrading camera. What I would like to know is whether APP would work better with rectilinear wide angle lenses, or with a fisheye lens. Or does it not really make any difference?
I'll be doing landscape, cityscape, and indoor panos. I also want to do some night time lightning filled panos, so something fairly wide would make those easier to do under the pressure of storm activity.
Do you have a suggestion for a Canon or premium after market brand lens? At this point I don't know if a later upgrade of the camera would be a 50D or 5DmkII, so it might make sense to give 2 suggestions if they would differ for APS-C vs. full-frame.

Circular FE - The Sigma 8mm f3.5 (4-around+Z+N)
Fullframe FE - the Sigma 10mm or Tokina 10-17mm FE. (6-around+Z+N)
klausesser wrote:"You would recommend the Nikkor 10.5mm fullframe FE on a Canon 450D?"
Yes - i do. As i said, i compared it to Sigma and Tokina on a Canon 20D. In my eyes their capabilities to use highres cutouts are limited - not only naturally in final resolution but due to CA and stry light.

Hi Hank!
What´s making you think so ? Besides: there´s no rectangular lens with the focal length of a fe!

hankkarl wrote:Not sure what you mean why you never found any serious attempt to ponder ... lens types for spherical panos. Do you mean you like FE lenses because the center is better than on Rectilinear lenses, and is more important?
hankkarl wrote:Sharpening gives you a chance to correct mistakes, etc. The lens is critical--you can add accutance (ie a sort of contrast) but not resolution (the sharpness of features as opposed to the contrast of the feature and background)
You cannot remove blur, you can only fool the eye into thinking it is less than it really is. So sharpening and other post processing are things we all try, try and try again (for the cost of our time) while lens resolution and contrast are something we cannot improve except by buying a new lens (or calibrating the lens)
GURL wrote:I neither like nor dislike fisheyes. Spherical panos have no center. My first opinion was that fisheye could be better because, as they use an "equisolid" projection (or about), they insure an equal repartition of image pixels in every direction. Then I realized that next to the circumference of the image circle they make a very unusual use of said pixels ! (when distorting shapes along this circle.)
GURL wrote:Another side of the same question: is the Tokina fisheye at 17 mm preferable, equivalent or better than a 17-xx mm rectilinear zoom?

Montague Keen: Focus on Improving the Human Experience for All People
MONTAGUE KEEN Message 10-10-2010
10 October 2010
Veronica, my dear, the Time of Awakening is Now, the dark Cabal are pulling out all the stops to try to prevent the inevitable. The have put mankind through the bloodiest 100 years in the history of Planet Earth, now they are concentrating on attacking those who try to awaken others to the Truth. They have ruthlessly plundered the world, they have amassed great wealth which has bought them Power and control.
You now have the opportunity to focus on improving the Human Experience for all the people of the Planet, you have the know-how, you now need the desire to do this. Come together, forget your differences, you are all in this together. It is decision time, there is an awakening happening, wake-up, take responsibility for your actions, share your knowledge with those less fortunate, talk to each other. You are being given the opportunity to create a World of Peace, Love and Light.
Open your hearts to others, forget the conditioned responses that were forced on you by Religions and state. Please do not give in to FEAR and the paralysis it causes thus leaving you open to the Control of the few, let the transformation begin, stop being victims. Go forward with confidence to the Light as was foretold by Ancient Civilisations.
Wake up to what is being kept from you. Listen to the former Canadian Defence Minister Paul Hellyer talk about our friends from other Planets. Look also at the Film "The Day before Disclosure" by Terje Toftenes, these people are trying to show you the Truth that has been kept from you.
Be aware also that a FAKE ALIEN INVASION is being planned to create Fear and Panic among the masses and so keep them under control. Remember that those in Control are Ruthless, Heartless individuals who see you, the masses as their slaves. I spent my formative years listening to such people but I saw the Light, You know I tried to see the Light in everyone. Unfortunately this blinded me to the Dark side of those around me.
You have been sent a photograph of your Aura , this, my love, is as how I saw you, please allow others to see this, I want people to know the woman I loved and love so dearly, now you can see why I called you the light of my life, you are Light. Those who try to extinguish this Light will face the consequences of their actions. The aura photograph of David Icke shows him as one who not only heals when he speaks but has healing hands also, this did not surprise you, you were of this strongly the moment you met.
You have influential people to meet and places to go, we are putting everything in place for you to go forward with our projects. Do not allow the distractions of threatening telephone calls interfere with our plans, greater minds than theirs are focused on our work. As I have repeated many times we will succeed.
You have had a busy day my dear, try to take time for you now.
I wish to thank all those who by their actions spread the Light, who reach out to those who as yet have not embraced the Light of truth, time and patience is required but the rewards are priceless, see yourselves as disciples of the Light on a path of transformation.
My love , never give up no matter how the dark attack you, together we will succeed. Your adoring husband, Monty

The 'mix' is good.. yes!
If nothing else it gives us the opportunity to learn and practice discernment as to what we do and do not 'resonate' with.
Personally I feel M. Keen is using this as an example of what (ridiculous) lengths the Controllers will go to in their afforts and games to generate fear! It is amusing!
It somehow also indicates that this really is approaching the END of these 'games' too.. for surely if the one thing 'they' fear most is an open ET presence here and their only reaction to this possibility is to emulate 'their version' of it, then there is little more after this that 'they' CAN do?
In Light.

i have a lot of respect and sympathy for montague and veronica keen, but of all the channelers that we publish on galacticchannelings.com, they are certainly the most fear oriented. coincidentally (or not), both suzy ward and blossom goodchild also address the fake alien invasion issue in their latest channelings. but where their contacts confidently reassure us that this won't ever happen, montague puts it in capitals. i appreciate his messages nonetheless, i just sometimes wish he had the view of the greater picture that the galactic federation (and matthew) have.

Feel that way, too. I chose to abort reading the message.
Be well.
