gvim is hidden in menu despite popup indicating it could be found in menu
|Assigned to
|vim (Ubuntu)
Bug Description
Description of the problem:
After installing vim-gnome there was no sign of a Gvim menu entry despite gnome-app-install saying it could be found in Applications -> Accessories. It was also not present in the right mouse button menu of text files.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to Applications -> Add/Remove...
2. Ensure that Show is on "All available applications" then type vim into the Search field.
3. Tick "Gvim Text Editor" then click apply.
4. Click Apply in the unnamed window that follows.
5. A dialog titled should appear indicating where Gvim is within the menu structure.
Expected result:
"Gvim Text Editor" menu entry to be present in Applications -> Accessories. "Open with Gvim Text Editor" to become be present in the right mouse button menu of text files.
Actual results:
Applications -> Accessories lacks a Gvim option. Right mouse button menu of text files does not have an "Open with Gvim Text Editor" option.
How reproducible is the problem?
It is reproducible every time.

I remember it used to be in Accessories, but the .desktop transition changed the deal.
Here is a .desktop file for vim-gtk.
Sorry for not including the whole patch with modification to debian/rules - I don't know the preferred way of generating these (should it be simple 'diff -ruN debian-old debian' in a package directory?)
response to comment #2 : I personally go in the package source do "dch -i" , "dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot -S" then "cd .." and finally "debdiff old.dsc new.dsc > your_patch.patch" .

No, there is no menu entry.
$ locate gvim.desktop
It was hidden in the Application menu (right click on the application menu and select "Edit Menu") .
May be because I've installed Kubuntu and after switched to Ubuntu ?
Found it hidden in Accessories menu - shouldn't it be in the Programming one? I think it used to be... and SciTE and other end up there. Not that vim is a programmers editor only, but it felt more "right" there.

I sum up: The Bug is that the menu-entry is hidden.
But I think all mainly text editors should stay in accessories...

In a user view, installing an application and can't find his entry on menu is a big problem.

Marco Rodrigues
I'm pleading with you - test the LiveCD and report back the result. What you have said doesn't make sense for the following reason: vim-gnome is not shipped on the LiveCD. You have to download it after the LiveCD has booted and when you download it you will have to get a fresh list of packages. At that point you will get the latest version of vim-gnome from the security updates area so it will be the latest version. Additionally the /usr/share/
Please test this off a LiveCD and let us know if you get the same result.

Intelligent PBX and TCPA Compliance
What is TCPA?In 1991, the United States Congress passed the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) to restrict telephone solicitations including automated dialing systems and prerecorded voice messages to mobile phones. Over the years, the TCPA has expanded, raising additional liability concerns and decreasing productivity of contact centers. Now it can affect anything from customer service to market research to collections to fundraising, or anything else that involves customer contact activities.
Nelson v. SantanderOne such case in which the TCPA expanded was Nelson v. Santander. In March 2013, a federal court in the Western District of Wisconsin ruled that the TCPA prohibited calls made by an automated dialing platform to wireless numbers, including preview dialing.
The plaintiff accused the defendant, an automobile finance company, of violating the TCPA by placing over 1,000 calls to the plaintiff's cell phone number and leaving 116 prerecorded messages over the course of a year in an attempt to collect two of the plaintiff's auto loans.
The defendant had used an automated dialing system capable of running applications in both preview and predictive dialing modes to place outbound calls. The agent, operating in preview dialing mode, initiated the call by manually pressing a button on a computer screen rather than entering all ten digits on the phone keypad.
The case ultimately determined that whether or not preview dialing fell under the category of automated dialers was irrelevant. Rather, because the system used to make the call was able to make automated calls, the district court sided with the plaintiff and was awarded $571,000 in statutory damages.
So what?While the judgment was vacated in June 2013 as part of a settlement between the parties, the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) adopted a Declaratory Ruling and Order (the Order) in response to twenty one petitions made by companies and trade associations seeking clarification as to the requirements of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA). The FCC summarized the guiding principle for the new ruling by saying "if a caller uses an autodialer or prerecorded message to make a non-emergency call to a wireless phone, the caller must have obtained the consumer's prior express consent or face liability for violating the TCPA."
The Rule of ConsentThe TCPA defines restrictions on calls to wireless numbers via automated dialers and predictive pacing without prior express consent of the called party, regardless of whether the calls are conducted with or without the attendance of an agent. The FCC determined that this law includes the use of any type of equipment with the "capacity" to be used as an automated dialing system. This includes the consumer being dialed automatically or as a result of an agent's manual request. All services connected to customer contact such as collections, research, solicitations, service, or sales, must comply with this interpretation of the TCPA.
Consent, then, is the most effective way to minimize liability under the TCPA when dialing wireless numbers.
Know the lingo.
- Autodialers – using "capacity" to store, produce, and dial numbers using a random or sequential number generator in the TCPA means the "potential ability" to do so, whether or not additional software is required
- Reassigned Wireless Numbers – no liability occurs for the first call made through an autodialer to a reassigned wireless number, however, the caller is presumed to recognize that the number dialed has been reassigned
- Revocation of consent – the most reasonable interpretation of the TCPA's consent requirement allows consumers to revoke consent through any reasonable method if they so desire
Enter: Intelligent PBXThe Intelligent PBX solution allows users to comply with all of the above restrictions and limitations. Most importantly, it can never be modified to enable autodialing functionality, so companies can call wireless numbers without fear of liability for non-compliance. Intelligent Contacts boosts TCPA compliance with the Intelligent PBX product by making sure that…
- Live agents dial calls to wireless numbers on a digit-by-digit basis
- No calling lists are ever stored in the phone system or any similar system that has the capability of placing calls.
- Phone calls are never initiated via random or sequential dialing – this functionality has never existed in any IC system
- As a hosted system the Intelligent Contacts system cannot be modified and thus has no potential capacity to become an autodialer
- Users can configure complex compliance criteria the Intelligent Contacts Solution enforces
- Users can prove compliance with complete call recording, starting with the call initiation and ending with call termination
- The Intelligent Contacts Solution provides a compliance report to prove the user's compliance with TCPA requirements
- Quality metrics, full call recording, and analytics tools minimize productivity losses while maintaining complete compliance with dialing restrictions
The Intelligent PBX Solution ensures compliance by solely supporting manual calls placed by authorized users on the system. It never initiates a call to the PSTN on it's own and has no capacity, or potential capacity, to ever do so.

As time passes and we get older, our faces begin to show the negative effects of being exposed to the sun, gravity, and even all the years we have been using our facial muscles.
As you age, the muscles in your face which have always been strong start to break down. The result of this breakdown is lines and wrinkles which begin to show around your mouth, nose, and eyes where you have spent a lifetime of moving your muscles.
What are the most common fillers?
The cosmetic surgery industry has responded to people's requests to help them alleviate these signs of aging by creating products known as injectables. Some of the most popular fillers on the market today go by the names Restlyane, Perlane, Juvederm, and Radiesse.
How do cosmetic facial fillers work?
Cosmetic facial fillers are injected just below the skin's surface. They act to temporarily plump-up the skin where they have been injected. Facial fillers can also be injected into the lips and cheeks to add bulk to these areas as well.
What are your options for facial look improvement?
Facial fillers are perfect for areas where you simply want to improve the look of wrinkles or other lines on your face. Additionally, different injectables are a great way to help plump up your lips for a better appearance as well as to remove those irritating -lipstick lines- you get as you age.
If you need to improve creases which are caused by muscle movement, such as those which appear on your forehead or around your eyes, Botox is probably the best option.
If you have skin which sags, then you will likely want to have one of various facelift procedures rather than use the injectables.
What should you expect from treatments?
If you are looking to use an injectable product, it is important to understand that the treatment is not a permanent option such as a facelift. Facial fillers use materials which are eventually absorbed into the body and will have to be re-injected to continue to see results. You will be disappointed if you do not understand that the results of these injectables are temporary, lasting generally a few months to one year.
What are the risks of injectables?
The risks of injectable cosmetic fillers are relatively small as long as you have them injected by a qualified plastic surgeon. The most common side effect of the treatment is redness which can last for up to 5 days.
The rarer risks to consider are allergies, infection, abscess, skin peeling, scars and lumps.
How do you know if you are a candidate for injectables?
Generally, anyone can utilize cosmetic filler treatments other than those women who are pregnant, allergic to local anesthetics, or those people who suffer from autoimmune diseases.
How do I find a reputable plastic surgeon?
Any plastic surgeon who works on your body should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. To find a Board Certified plastic surgeon in your local area you can contact your local hospital or call the American Board of Plastic Surgery directly.
For injectables such as Botox, San Francisco seeks out the excellent abilities of experienced, board certified surgeons. One such San Francisco plastic surgeon offers injectables information, before and after pictures, and financing options online at .

What is going on on Madae Island, a crucial location on the Shwe Gas pipeline project?Home, Interview Saturday, May 05, 2012
If you want to know, read the interview.)
Madae Island located in Kyaukpru Township of Arakan State is a crucial location on the Shwe Gas pipeline project. It is where a deep seaport for Chinese oil tankers is located. Oil storage tanks, drinking water tanks for seagoing vessels, oil terminals, oil and natural gas pipelines, and living quarters for Chinese engineers are being built on the island. Due to all these projects on the island, what has been happening to the lands of local people that have been passed down in families for generations? Narinjara had a chance to ask an elder from the island on the phone. He began talking about his island as follows:
(How many villages are there on Madae Island and what is the total population?)
- There are three big villages on Madae Island. They are Rwa Ma Village, Prain Village, and Kyauk Tan Village. There are about 700 houses on those three villages and about 2000 people live there.
(How do most of the people make their living?)
Most of the residents used to rely on fishing for their livelihood, while others rely on growing crops and vegetables, and on raising cows and animals. Now such means of livelihood are almost gone.
We, residents of Madae Island make a living at fishing. Now those Chinese build big ports. Construction wastes such as mud, silt, rocks fragments were recklessly flushed out to the rivers and creeks. So we can't fish anymore. We are having a hard time finding fish around. While going fishing, we have to stay away from their ships. Our fishing nets got stuck under the excavated rocks and mud and were lost. We are losing our livelihood here.
(What about agriculture businesses?)
This island has a lot of grazing land for cows. Now the Chinese have graded the land. They leveled the mountains so the cows cannot graze anymore. Cows have nowhere to graze. We are losing agriculture lands as well. After they destroyed the mountains, the land below became infertile. They also dammed the water upstream. So we lost arable lands downstream. Our island is in total jeopardy.
(Some jobs are created for the locals, right?)
The locals are called for jobs paying 6000 [kyats] per day. But the middlemen only give us 2000 [kyats per day]. And, not everyone gets such jobs. Even when [the villagers] get them, the jobs are not desirable. They are the jobs that no one wants. The locals are forced to work all day and are harassed. With the jobs [the Chinese] provide us, a lot of locals are struggling to put the food on the table.
(We heard that schools and clinics were built for the people.)
Now one clinic was built. But we don't know whether a physician or a medical staff will come and work there. They also built a new school. But there are no students because here we are struggling for our everyday meals. Because of the Chinese, our rivers are gone (polluted.) We can't fish anymore. Over half of the locals are struggling with food and daily needs. That new school does not benefit us. That school won't raise our education standard. That's why I feel angry whenever I see that school they built. What can we do with that school when our stomach is empty?
(Didn't anyone report such loss of rights to the authorities?)
We are just trying to now. Since there is no one to help us, we don't know how to proceed. That's why we have not done anything yet. And, the locals think that the authorities won't do anything even if we do report it. They don't feel confident right now.
(This is your government. If you report, they will become aware of the situation and they will try to solve your problems, right?)
We don't think so. The Chinese are not the only ones who are making our life miserable. The officers are doing the same. In our area, the mayor announced all those decrees and put up all the regulation boards with white lettering on the red background around the village and along the pond embankments. We are being banned to do certain things. There are so many prohibitions. Basically we are not allowed to raise cow, buffalo and other animals. We are not allowed to weed the land. No burning. No throwing seeds. No swimming. No fishing. These are what the authorities wrote. That's why we think nothing will come to our favor even if we report.
(How do all those bans trouble the locals?)
When we raise cows, we let them roam around. Now we cannot raise them anymore. Because of all those bans, we can no longer work on the garden land. When we don't weed the land and burn the weeds, they just ruin the land. Also we have some difficulty with transportation. Because of the bans, our rights are being limited and we can no longer make new garden. We can no longer raise cows, buffalo and other animals. We are not allowed to build tents or houses to stay for some time. All those bans are giving us a lot of trouble.
(Did not they do anything to develop for the locals?)
So far, there is nothing for the locals. There is one big lake and they dammed it. They said they will distribute water for the locals. Our island has always had enough water. What do we have to do with their water distribution?
(Because of that dammed lake, we heard of some damages to the locals. Why?)
When they flooded the lake, it became very difficult to travel to the garden land located at the south of the water. It used to take about 10 minutes to travel around. Now it takes about 2 hours. People are managing to go to the garden land. Now it seems that people will no longer be able to work on those garden lands. It is extremely difficult to transport produce from those lands, such as betel nut and vegetables.
(When they dammed the lake, did you all lose some land? Is there some garden land that was lost?
Yes. We lost [some garden land]. They compensated for our loss according their designated compensation formula. However, all those officers cut and cut for different reasons. At the end, the locals ended up receiving so little.

Thank you for your kind reply's suggestion, but I tried that already and the checkmark for , still is seen when right clicking the desktop's lower right corner icon (next tto the clock).
It seems that regardless that I've turned off aero, unghosting the tick box and unticking it, Win7 seems to be determined to re-tick it.
I'm left believing that this is one of thise things like when users don't want to use WMP and 'we' untick WMP from add-remove programs list, many file xtns still display the WMP icon ,as well as the default programs list still lists WMP as an option, ie; 'nag-ware'.

Growing retail market buoys Northern Ireland's property sector as raft of big names moving in
A growing retail market in Northern Ireland is continuing to buoy the commercial property sector here - with major new brands entering the market.
Retail continues "to be the most sought after sector", according to the latest report from Lisney for the third quarter of 2015.
Belfast city centre has witnessed a raft of both new retailers and restaurants moving in, along with brands such as Gap and Jack and Jones expanding to new premises.
Lifestyle Sports had also been set to take over the former Curry's location at Donegall Arcade.
But the Belfast Telegraph also reported this week that Newcastle United owner and Sports Direct boss Mike Ashley could be set to buy Donegall Arcade.
Other names coming in to the city centre include former Dragons' Den star Theo Paphitis's lingerie chain Boux Avenue. Restaurants, including Carluccio's, Five Guys and Hawaiian burger and sandwich concept Kua 'Aina, are also opening at Victoria Square.
The Belfast Telegraph also revealed both Greggs and discount chain Pep&Co are eyeing up locations across Northern Ireland.

The report said: "Retail investments remained the most sought after sector due to the traditional Northern Ireland yield gap with the rest of the UK.
"However, this gap has tightened in recent months as a result of the weight of capital in the market, chasing opportunities,"
The plus-sized retailer, Yours Clothing, has also announced deals in Belfast and Londonderry, and plans to expand to the rest of the province.
The largest property deal in the last three months was the sale of the so-called 'Olympic portfolio' of retail parks.
That included Fairhill Shopping Centre in Ballymena - formerly owned by Sam Morrison - to Rockspring Property Investment Managers for more than £45m, the Showgrounds Retail Park in Omagh, acquired by Pradera and Tristan Capital for £27m, Lisnagelvin Retail Park in Londonderry acquired by M&G for £16.75m and Homebase at Galwally in Belfast, which went for £9.8m.
Three other major retail sites, including phase one of Riverside in Coleraine and Lisnagelvin Shopping Centre in Londonderry, have also gone on the market.
The Lisney report says the office market "remained healthy" during quarter three.
But a severe lack of grade A, top-end office space, is continuing to hamper business. The volume of lettings in the quarter totalled only 31,000 sq ft. That's a big drop from 117,000 sq ft in the same quarter in 2014.
"This is largely due to a lack of opportunity rather than a significantly reduced appetite from occupiers," the report said. And as far as office developments go, properties once owned by John Miskelly were sold off to Kilmona Holdings, a firm run by Paddy Kearney.
That includes Londonderry House - with proposals to knock it down and construct a new 10-storey building - and Ten Square, which has undergone a facelift and is set to extended further. The multi-million pound extension will see 71 new bedrooms added to the city centre spot, which is located just behind City Hall. According to Lisney, there remains a shortage of industrial buildings, particularly within greater Belfast and mid-Ulster. And the report says 'Project Lanyon', a scheme launched by Bank of Ireland - 500 residential properties with offers in the region of £55m - is now "sale agreed".

The gate opener utilizes so little power you would hardly notice. You would have to open and close your gate thousands of times before you notice a difference. It sounds extreme until you have tried it out. These farm gate openers are battery operated. The batteries enclosed do not need much in the way of charging, thus fulfilling the confirmation that such small, hand-held pockets of power are powerful sustainable developments if you will.
In this day and age, this is very good. In this era, you are all dealing with the negative impacts of global warming, climate change, high levels of pollution and, of course, the high costs of energy use, still, generally speaking, a high emitter of carbons. Rural farmers and smallholding owners, you could just say, would be bearing the brunt of such a global impact, but truth be told, independent farmers and farm stall owners have had to be self-reliant for many years anyhow.
They have always been far away from the national grid and are thus last in the line when it comes to making necessary repairs during times of power shortages or outages. Anyhow, the innovative sustainable development that is your battery powered farm gate opener requires no effort for the purposes of opening and closing farm gates. Rather, if there is any effort at all (and usually it is none), it lies with the farmer's truck.
This is what happens. As the truck slowly approaches the gate, it gives the gate a gentle nudge. And the moment contact is made, the gate opens. And once the gate is opened, the vehicle can obviously drive through. The landowner only needs to program the gate opener to remain open for a set period of time before closing again once the vehicle has driven through.

'Everything about you disgusts me," begins the email. "I would spit on you if I saw you in the street. Actually, I wouldn't bother. You're not worth my saliva." I hit delete. Another pings into my inbox. "One can only hope that someone as pompous as you will find herself confined to hell sooner rather than later," it reads. The anonymous sender goes on to criticise my "pathetic life". It, too, goes straight in the bin.
I receive comments like this roughly two or three times a day. Not to mention the abuse I am sent on Twitter, Facebook and the hateful remarks posted online under almost every article I write. "I don't hold out much optimism for the author's marriage," writes one particularly eloquent stranger. "The overdone hair and make-up point to a selfish, high-maintenance individual." "Shut your stupid mouth and get a real job," jibes another. "You're too boring and too ugly to be taking up my attention."
I don't know these people; most of them write under pseudonyms. And I don't know what I have done to inspire such bile. I realise that writing for a national newspaper is bound to incite criticism. But there is something particularly upsetting about receiving comments focused entirely on the fact that I am a woman. And as the years go by, they're getting worse.
Germaine Greer, the feminist author, believes things have gone too far – with worrying repercussions for gender equality. Trolls who abuse females online, she told the BBC documentary Blurred Lines: The New Battle of the Sexes, are proof that women are worse off today than in the Seventies. "Things have got a lot worse since I wrote The Female Eunuch," she said. "Liberation hasn't happened – even sexual liberation didn't happen." Instead, she believes, men have become less tolerant of female success and are using the internet to vent their vitriol. "I never thought once you had social media there would become this terrible grab bag of loathing of women," said Greer.
She has a point. The golden era of female liberation was one of revolution and hope; not venom and spite. Betty Friedan, Kate Millett, Greer herself – none could possibly have countenanced a virtual world inhabited by misogynistic trolls. While they worked towards ending pay inequality, cementing discrimination laws and stamping out sexism, here we are 40 years later being bullied by keyboard-wielding cowards intent on "shutting us up".
But has online abuse really set the cause of feminism back that far? Mary Beard, the Cambridge University classics professor and broadcaster who was famously trolled after appearing on Question Time last year, thinks not. "I rather doubt that Germaine is correct to say that it is worse now than in the Seventies," she says. "I think we just see it more clearly. I certainly think that vicious trolling has an impact on women's careers and public voice. But I'm not sure the internet has really changed anything; rather its very 'public-ness' and global reach has exposed the persistence of this kind of misogyny."
Indeed, though trolling is a modern term – coined around 2006 – it has been around for a lot longer, albeit in a different guise. Gillian Youngs, professor of digital economy at the University of Brighton, says: "The abuse women receive online… is just an extreme and unpleasant manifestation of what exists offline. And, in a way, new media is easier to avoid than old media. You can switch it off, close the page, block the author."
It does all come down to our response. Arguably, the rise of digital sexism isn't weakening the feminist movement – it's making it stronger. By being confronted with such harsh content, and having the opportunity to deal with it ourselves, women are learning to stand up to their cruellest critics.
Take Louise Mensch, the former MP and author, who, on receiving an email calling her a "slut" and threatening the lives of her children, reported it to the police, who tracked down her troll and served him a 26-week suspended sentence. "It's people who think they can hide behind the anonymity of a screen name that feel free to throw out racist and sexist abuse," she says. "It really is just a matter of calling bullies out."
The classicist Mary Beard, too, called hers out: she wrote a blog about the "sadistic" and "gobsmacking" abuse she received on a website. And Rebecca Adlington, the Olympic swimmer, retweeted the malicious words of a Twitter user who called her a "whale" with a "shark fin nose" in 2012.
"It definitely had a detrimental impact on me," admits Caroline Criado-Perez, a freelance journalist and feminist, who was subjected to vile taunts from two users of the social network – one of whom, unexpectedly, was a woman – after campaigning for Jane Austen's face to be featured on the £10 note last year.
"Maybe in five years' time I'll look back and say it has made me stronger, but I certainly feel diminished by it. I don't think social media has set women back, but it has made it easier for mobs to gather. Technology has enabled sexism in a truly primal way."
But, she says, it's not all bad. "Everything I've done has been immensely helped by tools like Twitter. You have all these people trying to shut you up, and yet it's giving a voice to those who might otherwise not have had one. The overall effect has been positive."
Prof Youngs agrees. "If you act against the negative comments, whoever you are and whatever it's about, you feel part of the process. Women are learning to take control over the online space."
Life, it seems, isn't worse for women than it was in the Seventies. It's just being played out in different spheres. Social media is one we're still learning to negotiate – and if anyone tries to tell you otherwise, hit delete.

After being visibly frustrated at day one of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on Monday, actress Susan Sarandon left the convention early on Tuesday by way of a terse tweet.
An outspoken Bernie Sanders supporter, Sarandon was spotted shaking her head and grimacing as speakers threw their support behind Hillary Clinton on Monday.
When a Now This News video producer captured her reaction and stated, "Susan Sarandon is having literally the worst time at the #DemocraticConvention," Sarandon retweeted the video and called it "accurate."
But on Tuesday, Sarandon took to Twitter before the convention's speeches even began to voice her displeasure with the process and explain her departure from the Philadelphia event in two succint words: "I'm out."

Manchester-based Stott won acclaim for his brooding techno releases on Modern Love, in the mid 00s. He has since moved into murkier and less floor-oriented territory with his second full-length Luxury Problems (2012).
Stott debuted on Modern Love in 2005 with Replace, a deep, dancefloor friendly 12". Replace was followed just a few months later by Ceramics, the first in a six part series of singles that also included contributions from Pendle Coven and Claro Intelecto. The BBC's Mary Anne Hobbs quickly picked up and championed Stott, granting him a full 40-minute slot on her show, The Breezeblock, soon after the release of Replace. Following the release of Ceramics, Stott became one of a select few to be invited back for a second session.
Stott (1979) grew up in Manchester and took piano lessons as a child. As teenager he stayed up late taping jungle shows from the radio, and later received tutelage in dub techno and bass music from his mates at Modern Love. He spent six years in a job repainting Mercs and was able to quit two weeks before the release of Luxury Problems, a critically-acclaimed album that features the vocals of Stott's childhood piano teacher, operatically trained vocalist Alison Skidmore.
Stott has also produced a number of remixes as well as a breakbeat/juke-oriented dubstep project under the moniker Andrea – alongside MLZ/Pendle Coven's Miles Whittaker as Millie – for Daphne, a Modern Love sublabel specifically set up for the project.

premiere: listen to Grouper's quietly devastating new song "Driving"
We are honored to share another devastating song from Grouper's forthcoming LP Grid of Points, out later this month on Kranky. Liz Harris has said that the new album was inspired by "the idea that something is missing or cold", adding, "The intimacy and abbreviation of this music allude to an essence that the songs lyrics speak more directly of. The space left after matter has departed, a stage after the characters have gone, the hollow of some central column, missing." Nowhere is this idea more evident than on the profoundly haunting "Driving", Harris' inimitable voice and skeletal piano lingering like a ghost inhabiting the moments of silence, simple and sparse, but moving and poignant in ways that are hard to articulate. It is, in part, this uncanny use of space and the indescribable fleeting nature of her music that make Grouper such a special, singular artist, and one of our favorites of all time. Grid of Points is out April 27th.

Stopping Outlook Express Nags
Q: I use Outlook Express, and when I exit the program, it always asks if I want to compress my message files to save drive space. I have over 200GB of unused space on my hard drive, and I am not interested in compacting my files. So, how do I stop OE from asking me to compress my message files every time? Bruce A. Julseth
A: The answer is simple: You don't. If Outlook Express is making the demand, your message folders seriously need compacting.
What's the point of compacting? When you delete a message, OE doesn't actually delete anything; it changes a byte in the message to flag it as deleted. As you receive and delete messages, the files that represent your message folders get bigger and bigger. When the ratio of "live" messages to "deleted" messages reaches a set level, OE will ask you to compact the folders. And it will ask again and again until you give in. The compacting process is simple. OE just makes a fresh copy of each folder, including in the new copy only the nondeleted messages, then deletes the old folders.
Besides the wasted space of uncompacted folders, there's also a potential privacy issue. Deleted messages that you thought were long gone can be recovered easily as long as the folders haven't been compacted. If you've sent or received any sensitive messages, ones that other people shouldn't see, compacting your folders is the first step toward totally getting rid of them. (The second step would be to prevent the uncompacted folders from being undeleted, by using a utility such as PC Magazine's Shred 2.)
If you're worried about somehow damaging your messages by compacting them, you can back them up first. In OE, click Tools | Options and click the Maintenance tab. Then click the Store Folder button. This will show you the location of the files that represent your e-mail folders. Close OE, navigate to that location in Windows Explorer, and copy everything you find there into a temporary backup folder.
Now you're ready to give OE what it's been begging for. Start OE and select File | Folder | Compact All Folders. It will take a while. But it takes a long time of no compacting before you reach the point where OE starts making demands, so you won't be nagged again soon.

This now lies in the Parish of Corsock, where the present church has a memorial window and plaque.

He died in Cambridge and was buried in the family grave alongside his parents and wife in Parton churchyard. The Parton postmaster is trying to raise funds to erect a plaque. [Hartwick]; [Anon]
See THIS LINK
The family name is actually Clerk, a distinguished family based at Penicuik - his great-great-great-grandfather was the first Baronet. (His great-great-grandfather was Sir John Clerk of Penicuik, judge and antiquary, a signatory to the Treaty and Act of Union of 1707: I recommend the CD of his cantatas, which feature masonic number-symbolism, performed by Catherine Bott and Concerto Caledonia (Hyperion CDA67007, 1998) - Tony Mann). His great-grandfather inherited the Maxwell estates from his wife, adopting the name Maxwell, and these were then inherited as secondary estates, i.e. they could not be held in common with the main Clerk title and estates, but passed to the second son, provided the holder adopted the name Maxwell. Secondary inheritance can get quite confusing, but the Maxwell situation is only mildly confusing. His great-grandfatherwas a second son, but his elder brother died without issue and so the great-grandfather inherited the title - but what happened to the Maxwell estate then is not shown in my source. Maxwell's grandfather was a second son and adopted the name Maxwell. He died before his elder brother, a Clerk, who died without heir, so the title passed to Maxwell's father's elder brother, Sir George Clerk (1787-1867), FRS, FRSE. Sir George was a successful MP and politician, becoming Master of the Mint in 1845 and President of the (London) Zoological Society in 1862. He appears to have had only one son, so the Maxwell estates descended to our man. [Forfar] (The [DNB] states that our man was the grandnephew of Sir George Clerk FRS FRSE.)

SICHREM is a small human rights-based charity working in Bangalore, and stands for South India Cell for Human Rights Education and Monitoring. When I began volunteering there, 16 staff filled the two small office rooms, and their primary activities were focused on filing complaints on behalf of victims of human rights abuses, and in educating students, other NGO workers, activists, and members of the public.
As this was not my first trip to India, nor indeed my first time volunteering in India, I knew to some extent what to expect. In fact, as someone who'd been longing to return from the moment my plane left the runway in August 2009, I was anxious to submerge myself back into the world of saris, incense, rubbish, annoying cows, 'namastes', and too-spicy food.
Bangalore was a little different however. I soon realised with more than a little disappointment that South Indian states as a rule don't speak Hindi primarily (though there are pockets of communities that do); neither do they celebrate my favourite holidays of Holi and Diwali. They don't eat the fantastic food that Rajasthani's prepare – there's less cream-based dishes, no paneer, and everything is kinda soupy – and they also prefer to greet you with a boring, western handshake. Had I actually arrived in India, or somewhere that just shared the same name?
I managed to get over this initial disenchantment once my work at SICHREM began to pick up. Despite the small number of staff there seemed to be so many new faces to learn, and the social systems at the office were difficult to interpret at first. After a couple of weeks however, the staff started to open up, and I felt a bit more at home.
My official roles were to work on a research report assessing the functioning of the State Human Rights Commission for Karnataka – the state Bangalore is the capital of and the area that SICHREM primarily works in – and assist with various fundraising jobs, grant applications, and producing campaign materials. The thing I was most anticipating was producing a project on gender-related issues, as my main academic interest area.
In my first two months (January-February), SICHREM gave me the opportunity to spend a week in Kerala fundraising at an international film festival, called ViBGYOR – where I managed to sneak in to see independent films on the violence in Kashmir, women in Iran, honour killings in Rajasthan, and more. Then it was One Billion Rising, which Bangalore celebrated in style at Cubbon Park – the central green space in the city. We had loudspeakers playing out the latest Tamil beats, and all the women – Dalit, office-worker, foreigners alike – started grabbing each other to dance. Girls performed a dance clanging cymbols together, and mothers sang out their pain, as a protest of women crossed the busy intersection with banners.
My next few months were comparitively low-key, but I spent much more time being involved with workshops and seminars on everything from trafficking, to sexual harassment laws, to trans-men and -women. In conducting the research for my main report, and arranging interviews with various activists across Bangalore, I met so many interesting people, and expanded my contacts across Bangalore's charity sector beyond measure. If I ever want a job here, I know where to come back to!
Outside of SICHREM I was busy learning Hindi from a domineering (but fantastic) woman called Razia. Though my lessons were held alongside six and seven-year-olds who could both read and speak better Hindi than me, I grew attached to Razia and her family as I saw her first grandchild welcomed to the house, and her second daughter get engaged. Theirs was one of many attachments I made to people in the local community. Every day on my commute to work, Senthil at the dry cleaners on the corner would call out hello, and the fat street dog he fed would be asleep with his tongue poking out.
Living in India was a constant battle between the fantastic, and the abhorrent. Being a long-term resident in this country is very different to holidaying, or even a two-month volunteer placement. Once past the fifth or sixth month mark, it's definitely not a novelty anymore, and the same worries and pressures start to apply: the water bills need paying, the huge deadline at work, finding time to hang out with your friends. It's not a holiday, but it is a chance to see your host culture with a developing sense of understanding. You start to glimpse some of the beliefs and value systems that really drive people to act in one way or another, and the justification for things that might seem surreal elsewhere. With that sympathy, you find yourself starting to think in the same way.
Of course, no trip to India would be complete without some sightseeing, and I did a couple of weekends away to Mysore and Mangalore. My main time as a tourist happened towards the end of my placement though, when I took a month out to see South India with my boyfriend. Despite the monsoon – which really just reminded me of England anyway – it was fun to see the less-visited parts of Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu, and a totally different experience to the sites of the iconic golden triangle. Everyday India is most definitely not about the Taj Mahal, or Delhi's Jama Masjid, but in those moments alone walking along a sea cliff, or standing on top of the world next to a lonely temple, you're reminded of India's hypnotic power.
Bringing the focus back to SICHREM, it was overall an experience I would do again. Not everything was perfect with my placement – SICHREM had some of its own problems with funding and staffing, and certainly there were times that my ideas clashed with the paid workers in the office. I also never got the chance to work on any gender-focused projects or material, which was sorely disappointing. However, I still feel that it was one of the most interesting and useful experiences of my life. Above the obvious benefits that the opportunities and responsibilities I was given there will have on my CV, it became an invaluable lesson in adaptation. I learnt how alternatingly easy and difficult it is to adjust to a new culture, and embrace difference, at a scale you are never faced with in the UK.
India is already calling me back. With half my heart still there, I cannot say that I have really left. I know that I will return, but whether I will be a visitor, volunteer, or expatriate, only time will tell. The pictures below summarise just a couple of my favourite moments, and why I love this country so, so much.

James Franco in drag on the cover of Candy magazine
James Franco is a mystery wrapped in an enigma locked inside a question mark-shaped vault. Oh, and wearing lipstick. On the cover of Candy magazine, "the first transversal style magazine," Franco sports slicked back hair, a black blazer, heavy blue eyeshadow and cherry red lips. The effect is more Victor/Victoria than RuPaul:
This will doubtless again raise questions about Franco's sexuality -- he played Harvey Milk's lover in "Milk" and will play poet Allen Ginsberg in the upcoming "Howl." But in a recent "Advocate" interview, Franco said "Everyone thinks I'm a stoner, and some people think I'm gay because I've played these gay roles. That's what people think, but it's not true. I don't smoke pot. I'm not gay..."
"You do a movie where you're gay," said Franco's girlfriend Ahna O'Reilly in a July New York mag profile of the 32-year-old actor, "or, in James's case, more than one, it's going to happen. I know that a lot of people wish he were gay, or think I'm not his real girlfriend. But there's nothing you can do about that."
And, really, who would want to? At 32, he's living life on his own terms as an actor who defies stereotype, an artist, writer, perennial student (who enrolled simultaneously in four graduate school programs) and recent "General Hospital" regular.
Did I mention that we (heart) him?

Old School
Yesterday I picked up a last minute sub job at a school forty-five minutes away from the house. In a hurry, I just started grabbing things from the closet hoping somehow an outfit would fall together. One item I grabbed was a cropped jacket from Mrs. Bolton.
I try to incorporate vintage pieces into my teaching wardrobe- kids seem to respond well to it and it tends to look professional, plus, it's a large part of my regular wardrobe.
Yesterday, I had a sixth grader ask me "where does one find clothes like that?," he went on to tell me that he'd never seen anyone dressed like me and he liked my glasses. Students are generally kind and curious about my relatively archaic appearance- I get a lot of "you look like an old fashioned teacher" or " you look like someone from the movies," both comments I choose to take as a compliments.
|This jacket is just so sweet.
Green, yellow, black and white diamonds with black velvet trim.
Terrible pictures, the light in the house is just awful. I had intended on taking pictures outside but, while the weather at school was a lovely 85 degrees and sunny, when I got back to the coast it was 72 and incredibly foggy- it was like living in a cloud.
Jacket- Mrs. Bolton
Blouse- department store
Belt- stolen off another dress
Skirt- thrifted

A brave mum has shared a heartbreaking story and photos of the moment she cradled her stillborn baby for the first, and last, time.
Laura Sheehan has written an incredibly touching post about the devastating moment she lost her second son, Beau, with husband Brett, to help her family, and others cope with loss.
The mum-of-three tells Kidspot so much more awareness needs to be created to support parents experiencing stillbirth.
"It's just a taboo topic and it's incredibly difficult for families – not just mothers , and you're not allowed to talk about it. I wanted to share it, and needed to share it," she says.

She had a bad feeling, but unborn little Beau looked perfectly healthy
On Laura's blog she explains she found out she was pregnant for a second time, when her family, husband Brett and one-year-old Brody were just about to move overseas from Perth to France.
But from the early weeks she sensed something was different compared to her first pregnancy. She was so concerned she had her baby's heartbeat checked three times to ease her worrying mind, and everything looked normal.
At 28 weeks Laura says her unborn little one was full of energy inside her tummy on a car journey back from a trip to IKEA.

"He was lively and vibrant in my tummy"
"He stirred so much for that drive and for most of the night, lively, vibrant, almost innocently playful, playing with his mummy, as though he was smiling, happy," she writes on her blog The Whole Mummy.
"That time, in truth was the last time I definitively and with strength felt him move."
"If I haven't felt him moving, he's already gone"
Laura tells how hours later, she noticed Beau hadn't made any strong movements for a while. She couldn't feel a solid kick or shifting shoulders, "no rushing, pedalling feet".
"Going to bed that night my body ached with the creeping, crawling angst of fear, of worry, of bitter yearning, 'please just let me know you are ok'," she says.
In the morning she stands from bed and feels a devastating, foreign movement.

"I feel a slow, gentle roll forward from within, it didn't feel right, limp, lifeless, not an exertion or a rocking shift," she writes. "I put it out of mind, perhaps out of denial."
But her concerned mum back in Australia encourages her to see a doctor.
"Even now I can see my text…'I know that even if I went now, if I haven't felt him moving, he's already gone'.
They see their baby - but no flickering heartbeat
Laura and her husband go to a French hospital for a scan – this is the first time Brett sees his unborn son - arriving in France earlier than his wife.
"There he was, our boy, our beautiful baby boy. The outline of his head, his face, his arms, his legs, my eyes scanning quickly resting on his chest, the white light, the blinking flash of light, gone, no flicker, just still," she writes.
"I feel a hand, soft, sombre, delicate, take mine, looking, the doctor's eyes, sad, meet mine and tapping on his chest I hear him say the words, 'Non le coeur'… no heartbeat."
Laura and Brett, say goodbye to their second born Beau. Picture: The Whole Mummy blog.
"I was screaming in utter disbelief"
"Screaming in utter disbelief I hear my husband voice cracking 'No!' crumbling, folding to his knees. I rock, back and forth, tears breaking, fallen, heaving, broken, my husband, now arms around me, crying, sobbing.
"I will never forget that 'No' from his lips, the sound it made, the heartbroken gasp before he spoke, it split me, struck me to depths, I'll never be able to reach or remove it from."
"For two days I waited, I sat, holding, carrying, knowing that my child was dead and he was still inside me. Anger, heartbreak, pity, despair an unimaginable loathing and grief."
"Why my boy, my baby boy, our son, our child, why?"
The morning of the delivery Laura recalls the cold language from a doctor, the loving comfort from midwives, and the excruciating pains of failed attempts to inject her with the epidural needle.
But it failed, and it was too late for drugs, so she felt it all.
"I scream, I scream from pain, I scream from grief, I scream from anger, anguish a bitter, desperate why? Why my boy, my baby boy, our son, our child, why?"
Mum and dad kiss their little boy goodbye. Picture: The Whole Mummy blog.
"I breathed him in, I kissed his head, his cheeks his lips"
"That moment of painful release and I let go, I let him go and physically for the final moment we are no longer locked as one."
Beau was born on June 19, 2014. Laura holds her baby's "small, fragile and achingly lifeless body".
"I held him, I breathed him in, I kissed his head, his cheeks his lips, I felt the weight of him against my chest and his cradled curve in my arms, but I knew he was gone, that perfect soul I had been connected to, he had left me, I had lost him and he was gone."
Laura with her adorable children Brody and Daisy. Picture: The Whole Mummy Facebook.
She lay in bad exhausted and shattered after seeing her son physically leave her.
"I cradle my now soft, empty belly and I weep, no screaming, no anger, just the billowing and flowing of gentle tears for my sadness, for my loss and for the aching distance I now feel between he and I, between Beau, my son."
Beau's short life has changed their family
Speaking about how Beau's death has affected her and her family, Laura says "We were changed, weaker, weary and in many ways scarred, but in the same breath we were stronger, closer, not just as a couple but as a family.
"Every day you write a new chapter with me"
But little Beau's story is far from over.
"Every day you write a new chapter with me and not a day goes by that I don't miss you, think of you, sometimes with smile, sometimes with a tear," she says.
"I love you but as I cannot hold your hand as we walk this life together, I will, forever carry your beautiful soul in my heart"

With no doubt that transcription started since 17th century, and lots of people have started transcribing since its origination. But the rise of transcription today has made transcription an essential thing for some businesses; especially those that produce lots of sound and audio files for your audience, or customers, or clients.
Are you aware that there are facts about transcription we dont know?
We speak on average rate of 150 170 words per minute; this means we produce more than 8000 words per hour.
The rate at which we speak is 4 times faster than we type and 7 times faster than we write.
It takes a professional transcriptionist a minute to type 80 100 words: statistics show that it will take 4 6 hours for the same transcriptionist to transcribe an hour video.
Statistics have it that a professional transcriptionist has 825 characters to transcribe in a minute.
You may be asking what a transcriptionist does exactly. The easy remains easy as it has always been. They [url=https://www.cabbagetreesolutions.com/transcription-services/]transcribe video to text[/url], podcast to transcripts, and also [url=https://www.cabbagetreesolutions.com/transcription-services/]transcribe audio to text[/url].
The benefits of transcription include:
Recordings or recorded discussions of a business can e published and distributed to interested parties.
Transcribed audio and video content can serve as a part of an SEO campaign to drive traffic to a businesss website and improve SERPS.
Transcribed film, video, and audio contents is more accessible and user-friendly to individuals with the inability to hear properly.

Will you call 911 if Facebook goes off the radar? This is exactly some users in Los Angeles did when the popular social networking site Friday suffered its second brief outage in two months.
According to LA County Sheriff sergeant Burton Brink, they received "several" calls from dissatisfied Facebook users seeking a solution to the error message they faced while logging into Facebook.
Frustrated, Brink wrote a message on Twitter: "Facebook is not a Law Enforcement issue, please do not call us about it being down, we do not know when FB will be back up!"
Brink explained it was done to prevent more people from calling about the problem.
"We get phone calls all the time, whether it be Facebook going down," Brink was quoted as saying in a Fortune report.
But with Facebook in particular, we get calls probably because it's such a widely-used thing, he added.
Facebook responded to the 35-minute outage, saying, "Facebook is currently experiencing an issue that is affecting all API and web surfaces. Our engineers detected the issue quickly and are working to resolve it ASAP. We will update shortly."
