Structure and ContentAnand, Pranav; Hardt, Daniel (Frederiksberg, 206)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Sluicing is an elliptical process where the majority of a question can go unpronounced as long as there is a salient antecedent in previous discourse. This paper considers the task of antecedent selection: finding the correct antecedent for a given case of sluicing. We argue that both syntactic and discourse relationships are important in antecedent selection, and we construct linguistically sophisticated features that describe the relevant relationships. We also define features that describe the relation of the content of the antecedent and the sluice type. We develop a linear model which achieves accuracy of 72.4%, a substantial improvement over a strong manually constructed baseline. Feature analysis confirms that both syntactic and discourse features are important in antecedent selection. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9425

A European PerspectiveKarlsson, Christer; Åhlström, Pär (Stockholm, 1998)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to create a European perspective on the history of thought in operations management and to analyze driving and determining factors shaping different schools of thought. An attempt to describe the European contributions to operations management's history of thought will by necessity be heavily influenced by the authors of the description. Even if the description can be based on facts, in the form of publications, individuals, and organizations, there is a need to interpret and reflect on the facts. The view presented here is produced by a researcher holding a professorship in Industrial production and with a background in executive development and consulting, together with his research assistant holding a Ph.D. with special studies of production system change and implementation. Part of the database is, however, distinct and real and has not really been accessed by anyone else. The database consists of twelve years of experience of assessing thousands of abstracts and manuscripts from all over Europe submitted to the European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management (EIASM).

Process Models and Advanced Services Offshoring to IndiaØrberg Jensen, Peter D. (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper addresses a recent strand of offshoring research that concerns the processes of evolution and change that appear in offshoring partnerships after the launch of offshoring operations. Based on longitudinal case studies of offshoring of advanced IT and engineering services from Danish firms to Indian firms, I identify a process model with three stages that captures the evolution of the initial 1-2 years of the offshoring partnership. Overall, the data portray a rapid development of the Danish-Indian offshoring partnerships which show that once trust is established and offshoring firms gain experience, the offshoring firms will increase the sophistication as well as expand the range and volume of advanced work done offshore. The dynamics of the process therefore suggest that at a broader scale, advanced services offshoring will increase in the coming years. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8946

Strategies, Business Models, and Management ModelAndersen, Kim Normann; Medaglia, Rony (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: European Commission funded research is driven by the objective of integrating excellent research in Europe by using public funding to gain momentum and sustainability. This paper presents the results of an analysis of the management patterns of 20 Networks of Excellence. Our analysis indicates an absence of business management competences in the project consortia and unclear criteria for sustainability. Sustainability strategies appear to be ad hoc driven and orchestrated by the project monitoring events, rather than built in the consortia management structure. The paper advocates for bringing onboard conventional management models along with strategic positioning, business models, and business plans. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7866

An Analysis of the Implications of ICT on Memory OrganizationsMarton, Attila (Buenos Aires, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The societal shift from writing to printing to information and communication technologies has been accompanied by a shift in the structure of social memory that seems to threaten our capability to remember. Within this context, a preliminary analysis is offered on the impact of the digitization of cultural heritage on the ways social memory is being organized by memory institutions (archives, libraries and museums) attempting to bring their repositories online. Informed by the work of Niklas Luhmann and Elena Esposito, the paper addresses the problem of an ICT driven organization of cultural heritage transforming information objects into autological, self-describing digital information objects. The research aims to contribute the notion of memory as a counter-concept to the discussion on information and its technologies in the information systems field and related domains such as organization studies and the social study of ICT. It also advocates the necessity to focus more on the implications of ICT on the ways social memory is structured. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8903

Technology versus institutionsKallinikos, Jannis; Orebro, Hans Hasselbladh; Marton, Attila (Lisabon, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper claims that technology and institutions both epitomize the construction of artificial orders through which a primary reality is shaped to something other than it is by logical operations that share essential affinities. Drawing on this, we work our way to showing how technology operates as governing regime and how tasks and operations that are carried out by the human enactment of expert rules and procedures can considerably be embodied onto technological sequences with which human experts have limited and severely structured interaction. These ideas are illustrated by reference to cultural memory organizations (e.g. libraries, archives, museums) and the ways the deepening infiltration of their operations by computing technologies redefines their goals and the skills, practices and arrangements through which these goals have traditionally been pursued.

Carl, Michael; Lykke Jakobsen,Arnt; Jensen, Kristian T. H. (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: One of the aims of the Eye-to-IT project (FP6 IST 517590) is to integrate keyboard logging and eye-tracking data to study and anticipate the behaviour of human translators. This so-called User-Activity Data (UAD) would make it possible to empirically ground cognitive models and to validate hypotheses of human processing concepts in the data. In order to thoroughly ground a cognitive model of the user in empirical observation, two conditions must be met as a minimum. All UAD data must be fully synchronised so that data relate to a common construct. Secondly, data must be represented in a queryable form so that large volumes of data can be analysed electronically. Two programs have evolved in the Eye-to-IT project: TRANSLOG is designed to register and replay keyboard logging data, while GWM is a tool to record and replay eye-movement data. This paper reports on an attempt to synchronise and integrate the representations of both software components so that sequences of keyboard and eye-movement data can be retrieved and their interaction studied. The outcome of this effort would be the possibility to correlate eye- and keyboard activities of translators (the user model) with properties of the source and target texts and thus to uncover dependencies in the UAD.

Carl, Michael (, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper introduces a new research strategy for the investigation of human translation behavior. While conventional cognitive research methods make use of think aloud protocols (TAP), we introduce and investigate User- Activity Data (UAD). UAD consists of the translator's recorded keystroke and eye-movement behavior, which makes it possible to replay a translation session and to register the subjects' comments on their own behavior during a retrospective interview. UAD has the advantage of being objective and reproducable, and, in contrast to TAP, does not interfere with the translation process. The paper gives the background of this technique and an example on a English-to-Danish translation. Our goal is to elaborate and investigate cognitively grounded basic translation concepts which are materialized and traceable in the UAD and which, in a later stage, will provide the basis for appropriate and targeted help for the translator at a given moment.

Carl, Michael; Kay, Martin; Jensen, Kristian T. H. (Preprint, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper investigates properties of translation processes, as observed in the translation behaviour of student and professional translators. The translation process can be divided into a gisting, drafting and post-editing phase. We find that student translators have longer gisting phases whereas professional translators have longer post-editing phases. Long-distance revisions, which would typically be expected during post-editing, occur to the same extent during drafting as during post-editing. Further, both groups of translators seem to face the same translation problems. We suggest how those findings might be taken into account in the design of computer assisted translation tools.

The Impact of the Global Economic and Financial Crises over Developing Countries' Automobile IndustryWad, Peter (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In the Global South automobile production evolved behind protectionist walls and was promoted by infant industry policies and outright national automotive projects from the 1950s. In recent decades, many developing countries have liberalized their automotive markets and allowed automobile TNCs to take majority control over joint ventures, transforming domestic automotive industries into foreign controlled sectors while leaving a few national automakers in India, Malaysia and China. Decomposing and reorganizing the national value chain into regional and global automobile value chains OEMs and TNC original equipment suppliers (OESs) have off-shored and outsourced component and parts production to developing countries. Again, local auto suppliers have been acquired or relegated to lower 'tier' positions if not forced out of the market. However, with economic growth and development in the Global South during the 1990s and 2000s automobile sales have boomed, and the automobile sectors in Latin America and Asia have become "brown sunrise" industries generating investment, technological upgrading and employment. The present global financial and economic crisis has not profoundly changed this trajectory. The global crisis did not impact automotive markets in developing countries severely, except for automotive exporting countries like Mexico, Thailand and South Africa. Only in 2009 automotive sales and production declined across the board in the Global South, but key markets turned around in the end of the year. Thus, the automobile crisis is a downward business cycle, not a structural crisis of the industry. Companies in the automotive industry responded with traditional crisis management (temporary downsizing, cost reductions, retraining, consolidation, innovation), and governments launched traditional stimuli packages (cash-for-clunkers, tax reductions on smaller and/or cleaner cars etc). Strategic initiatives were taken to improve the competitiveness of the domestic industry (consolidation, liberalization) on the one hand and to transform it from a brown industry to a "greener" industry on the other hand (tightening environmental regulations, fuel efficiency and emission standards, subsidizing purchases of smaller and "greener" cars, investing in appropriate infrastructure and green technology R&D). Thereby, some developing countries and their surviving local automakers and parts makers are leapfrogging into "clean" technology frontiers competing head-to-head with global automakers or partnering with foreign firms in their common endeavor to manufacture green automobiles.

Strandsbjerg, Jeppe (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: According to conventional knowledge, the realist tradition in International Relations has maintained the world of International Politics in a perpetual state of 'warcraft' between sovereign territorial states. Since the early 1990s arguments associated with Historical Sociology have sought to counter such a timeless image of states and politics. Yet, while this has done much to historicise state institutions and the international system, one of the fundamental features of the modern state remains poorly understood: that of territory. This is because, I argue, that the concept of space remains absent from the historical analyses. Historical Sociology proper usually treat territory as an unproblematic transhistorical concept and Constructivist approaches tend to focus on how perceptions of space interrelate with historical developments of institutions. Both tend to leave space as unhistorically accepted, conceptually assumed and philosophically unexamined. The solution I propose in this paper is to expand what we do historical sociology about; that is a historical sociology of space formation which investigates how space historically has been established as real, and hereby, had a conditioning and transformative effect on the political role of territory. This is key to understand to spatial nature of the modern state and thus, also, the transformative possibilities within international relations URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8290

Også i Danmark har der i de sidste 10-15 år været en betydelig tilflyt-ning til landets største byer og til områder inden for pendlingsafstand af disse byer, mens folketal-let i mange landkommuner er stagneret eller gået ned."

Abstract: Managers' mindset about the sustainability construct and its triggers is the topic dealt with in the paper. The interviewed managers are all working in companies expressing a commitment on sustainability in their external communication. However, our findings reveal that their commitment is pursued from different business models, visions and ideas about the sustainability construct. We found that sustainability is not triggered, approached and practiced in accordance with one overall mindset. Four interrelated mindsets emerged - due to that sustainability is a learning process and thus formed and developed over time. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8321

In contrast to the Relevance Theory of CommunicationGlückstad, Fumiko Kano (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: As the role of ontology in a multilingual setting becomes important to Semantic Web development, it becomes necessary to understand and model how an original conceptual meaning of a Source Language word is conveyed into a Target Language translation. Terminological ontology [1] is a tool used for knowledge sharing and domain-specific translation, and could potentially be suitable for simulating the cognitive models explaining real-world inter-cultural communication scenarios. In this paper, a framework referred to as the Relevance Theory of Communication [2] is contrasted to an empirical study applying Tversky´s contrast model [3] to datasets obtained from the terminological ontology. The results indicate that the alignment of two language-dependent terminological ontologies is a potential method for optimizing the relevance required in inter-cultural communication, in other words, for identifying corresponding concepts existing in two remote cultures.

The canonization of digital cultural artefactsAttila, Marton (Gothenburg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Memory institutions and their practices of canonization are closely tied to the emergence of a social memory based on material artefacts and communication media. As libraries, archives and museums are stepping into the online world of digitality and computational operations, the question arises as to how these institutions and their processes of canonization change. Based on Elena Esposito's system theoretical concept of memory as an operation of forgetting and on David Weinberger's three orders of ordering artefacts, the paper analyses the canonization of digital cultural artefacts according to the practices of selection, order and preservation. Against this backdrop, the theme of transversal forgetting is developed as a cyclical process of forgetting-as-data that cuts across the boundaries of libraries, archives and museums and their traditionally separated rationale of what to select and how to order and to preserve the selected. The concept, therefore, is an argument against the still dominating metaphor of social memory being an externalized storage. Thus conceived, transversal forgetting attempts to capture memory institutions as part of the wider information environment of bits and bytes, networks and algorithms.

Yesterday was the day. I turned in my first ever literary translation. According to the publisher, the book will come out in March, which I'm extremely excited for. In the past, the only experience I had translating was in college. I worked on ancient texts that were straightforward and the authors were clearly dead.
The frank saying, the deader the better, is one that is usually appealing to most translators. I think overall I agree with this statement on the heels of my maiden voyage, but who knows, perhaps my opinion will change if I keep up with this.
However, I did find a few positive aspects of being in contact with the very much alive author.
1. She was able to inform me of the type of voice she wanted the narrator to have. There was no way for me to know this because she had not written the character with a specific voice in the original German.
2. Knowing her real-life inspiration behind the story.
3. Hearing her opinions on what she liked about how her story could be portrayed in English that she was not able to accomplish in German (i.e., she liked the added mystery that English was able to lend specifically in regards to German being a masculine/feminine language and English is not).
4. etc.
Now, on the flip-side, she was WAY too nit-picky. Seriously, we quarreled over a versus the. Not all authors are like this I'm sure, but by the end of the process, I had more confidence in telling her: "It sounds fine. Don't worry. Native English speakers will understand." I had to keep reminding myself that I was the authority of my language in this instance.
In the end, the translator is the one who makes the decisions. The original work has been transformed into something else completely. If you ever take a look at the beginning of a translated work, there will be the author's original copyright as well as a copyright for the translation credited to the translator–almost as if these are two completely different entities.
This weekend, the author finally told me that she was happy with it and apologized for all of the nit-pickery. In my mind, I knew that she was just nervous of putting her work into someone else's hands (especially when multiple languages are involved).
I guess my words of wisdom to anyone who is looking to work on a literary translation for the first time would be: make sure to find a work that you are really excited about. The story I translated was perfectly fine, but it was not my choice (for various reasons I will not get into). At times, it felt like a slog because I had no passion just an everyday interest in the actual story. Parts of it dragged but when I hit really intriguing moments, it was a pleasure to work on it. If you're trying to translate for publication, finding an author that hasn't been translated before into the language you're working with is the best way to go. I've heard this from numerous people, both translators and publishers. If you do decide on a writer who is alive, you have to figure out the legal rights situation. So, just remember, in that case, the deader is better.
I would advise against literary translation if you're a scatter brain. You've got to keep yourself in check. I have a full notebook filled with my scribbles for just this one translation. No matter how fluent someone is you will still utilize at least 2 dictionaries. You have to be savvy with language dictionaries. Also remember that translating isn't a solo activity. I ran stuff by both English speakers and German speakers.
But the most important thing is you have to be a talented writer. Word-for-word translation is bad. Literary translation is good.

Care transitions from the hospital to home remain a vulnerable time for many patients, especially for those with heart failure (CHF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Despite regular use in chronic disease management, it remains unclear how technology can best support patients during their transition from the hospital. We sought to evaluate the impact of a technology-supported care transition support program on hospitalizations, days out of the community and mortality. Using a pragmatic randomized trial, we enrolled patients (511 enrolled, 478 analyzed) hospitalized with CHF/COPD to "E-Coach," an intervention with condition-specific customization and in-hospital and post-discharge support by a care transition nurse (CTN), interactive voice response post-discharge calls, and CTN follow-up versus usual post-discharge care (UC). The primary outcome was 30-day rehospitalization. Secondary outcomes included (1) rehospitalization and death and (2) days in the hospital and out of the community. E-Coach and UC groups were similar at baseline except for gender imbalance (p = 0.02). After adjustment for gender, our primary outcome, 30-day rehospitalization rates did not differ between the E-Coach and UC groups (15.0 vs. 16.3 %, adjusted hazard ratio [95 % confidence interval]: 0.94 [0.60, 1.49]). However, in the COPD subgroup, E-Coach was associated with significantly fewer days in the hospital (0.5 vs. 1.6, p = 0.03). E-Coach, an IVR-augmented care transition intervention did not reduce rehospitalization. The positive impact on our secondary outcome (days in hospital) among COPD patients, but not in CHF, may suggest that E-Coach may be more beneficial among patients with COPD.NIH trial registry number: NCT01135381Trial Protocol: http://dx.doi.org/ 10.1016/j.cct.2012.08.007.

That's my brother Mike and Grandpa McBride in 1972 and after seeing this picture, I decided to make my own little brick path from the patio to 'DA ODE' AKA fire pit. So with the PLETHORA of bricks the Boike's have, I made my version....
Sorry for such a SHORT entry but I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO finally cut the cable company out of my life. The 'high speed' internet and it's really high payments are gone and I have one of these now. I made the cheapo mistake of only buying 1GB of data to get me through a month, well that went over like a fart in church! I blew though that faster than a college kid 'shotgunning' a beer on a Friday night but don't worry, I bought more GBs and I should be good; even though I had to wait until the 20th of September. So I didn't have any internet service unless I went to someplace with WIFI access like McDonalds. HA!! I went there every morning to download my pod casts I like to listen to at lunch and in the car. ****COMMENTARY**** Things must be just fine and dandy at the cable company because they didn't EVEN try to retain me as a customer. I find this hard to believe because the days of their MONOPOLY on internet access and TV are numbered with technology evolving for us commoners:
OKIE DOKIE!!! My commentary is over and now back to your regularly scheduled program...
IT'S TIME for me to answer a spammer's, usually stupid and grammar filled error, email:
"Does ƴouг website havе a contact pаge? I'm haνing a tough time locating it ƅut, Ӏ'd lіke to send you an email. I've ǥot somе suggestions fоr yoսr bpog yߋu miǥht be inteгested in hearing. Eіther ԝay, ɡreat site and I look forward to sеeing it improve oger time."
Answer: A contact page? No, you can just leave a comment about it and I there is a 98% chance I will reply BUT I highly doubt you will notice that being you just send out 'spam emails' to EVERYONE and hope some poor bastard responds to ya!
Now it's your moment of ZEN. Just in time for Halloween!!!!!
HAVE A GREAT MONTH PEEPS and have a happy NASTAS (SATAN) day, I mean Halloween! It's all cool with me because it gives ladies around the country the excuse to dress SLUTTY!!! WOO HOO!!!

Christmas prep is in FULL SWING at my house, and one of my favorite tasks of Christmas is BAKING! I usually end up baking and freezing several dozen cookies before Christmas, if I can keep my family from eating them all first!
When I am looking for a great Christmas cookie recipe, I'm looking for a cookie that is pretty, flavorful, fast, and easy enough so that the kids can get in the kitchen and help me! Baking is much more fun with the kids, and keeping a tradition of making Christmas cookies together is creating memories that I know they will remember throughout their whole lives. So while the holiday season is busy, taking an afternoon to spend in a warm kitchen baking up treats with my girls is something that I definitely make time for!
The recipe I'm going to share with you today is a dairy-free recipe (a must in my house due to a dairy allergy) for Ginger Cookies. I love these cookies because they come out soft and chewy, rather than crispy like gingerbread. These are super fragrant cookies that will make your house smell like Christmas!
I have the recipe at making about 2 dozen cookies, but it really depends on how big of balls you roll the dough into – I get two dozen from dough balls about this size:
The red and white sugar add a great Christmasy touch, but you can use regular course sugar if that's what you have! These cookies can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 months, so get a head start on that holiday baking!
And to help you get a start on that holiday baking, here's your chance to win a $75 Target gift card! Think about ALL the baking supplies you can get with that much Christmas cash!! Make sure to bookmark the site and come back every day for more chances to win!

Carbonyl reductase and NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase activities in human tumoral versus normal tissues
López de Cerain A, Marín A, Idoate MA, Tuñón MT, Bello J.
Toxicology Department, Universidad de Navarra, Pamplona, Spain.
Magazine: European Journal of Cancer
Date: Feb 1, 1999Breast Cancer Area Pathological Anatomy [SP]
The use of bioreductive agents in enzyme-directed bioreductive therapy has been proposed to take advantage not only of hypoxia in tumours, but also of the presence of reductases that metabolise such compounds. In this study, we studied the activities of NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase (P450R) and carbonyl reductase (CR) in 17 human lung tumours and 18 human breast tumours, together with the corresponding normal tissues.
For lung cancer but not for breast cancer there was a significant difference in the CR activity between normal and tumour tissue. CR activity was increased with respect to the normal tissue between 2-fold and 40-fold indicating heterogeneity in tumour samples. No relationship was found between CR activity and the histological type, tumoral grade or TNM stage of the tumours.
Although some variation in P450R activity in tumoral versus normal tissues was found in the majority of the samples studied, no significant differences could be demonstrated.

An Analysis of the Marketing and Creation of Art Prints
This mass promotional of art work reproductions in addition to art prints inclined to multiple collectors is a heavily argued topic given that its inception within the late 19th Century. The progress of lithography with 1798 as a result of Aloes Senefelder formulated the prospect of making identical art projects; however, it took another hundred many of comprehensive technical breakthroughs before high quality reproductions may very well be produced. These progress in lithography merged using a growing understanding by art form dealers that the untapped (as well as highly successful) fresh art advertise had become available, whereas an item of fine art might be sold again and again, exponentially inflating each dealer & designer profits and even exposure, which came in a lot more collectors as a result of across Use and The European countries.
The innate value of your art hard copy, and it is subsequent love in debt value, was some sort of happenstance event that included the basically immediate induction connected with limited variant prints: I know the dealers might have been tickled to build endless goes of fine art prints depending on each preferred original into their possession, yet technical disadvantages (the actual copper and even zinc branding plates little by little wore downwards) compelled a manufacturing limit, as eventually the grade of each print out deteriorated.
With the exception of in extraordinary cases, an screen-print never has and not will enjoy the high vintage value on the original portray and the usage of limited features (normally a run of just one, 000 printing or significantly less and every single individually figures) offsets this challenge to a certain amount by building inflated value while using age-old online strategy of give versus require. There is really a segment on the population which will buy a craft print since they enjoy the style of that one piece and desire to hang it on the wall for the purpose of personal excitement. The other parts consider their selves modest as well as serious fine art collectors and need a piece them to not simply visually treasure, but offers investment possible.
It is usually human the outdoors to make an effort to possess a thing your neighbors will not, and that desire can certainly only come to be filled by means of offering a client's items of exclusivity plus scarcity: In cases like this, ending some sort of print run with a certain phase and advertising those using prints because limited versions. It is going without saying which the smaller any edition, the harder valuable this series: Less is usually more in cases like this. It is as much as the personal artist in order to weigh potential profit against division numbers and make a decision on a decent & appealing count of prints to discharge in each one edition.
Clip Art Royalty Free Backgrounds
The primary and best medium accustomed to create show art was initially pen and additionally ink. Write and tattoo or 'Line Art' blueprints were created nearly as the list implies, along with a dip or even 'nib' note down and a powerful inkwell packed with black tattoo. The Specialist, let's get in touch with him 'Art Guy', would drop his pen inside the inkwell, tap all the surplus in ink in the rim of your bottle and which has a steady side, begin in order to draw their very own illustration. A top notch stock paper which includes a smooth finish off, which covered sometimes vellum, was nevertheless is old-fashioned of many artists. Some performers preferred that will draw their topic with a good pencil first to manufacture a 'template' when to employ the ink atop.
Once all the illustration was first complete, it had been left to help dry naturally. To not damp the ink more rapidly, some designers used a fine sprinkled sparingly covering the wet example of this. Pounce powder is often created using an assortment of materials which includes sand, soapstone, and talc including finely floor salt. Pounce is in addition used through calligraphers.
As the illustration was first dry, it was subsequently given to Stat Photographic camera operator together with photographed inside a darkroom in making film on the camera-ready craft. Shaded or perhaps 'half tone' written agreement images may just be created in the all-black style using several dot trend filters thereafter transferred to help paper. Employing process, endless copies belonging to the original artwork may just be created, just like the electronic version machines made many decades later. The report copies have been then clipped and 'cut to make sure you size' throughout preparation in the publication process and after that 'Art Guy' headed to production room to complete his cold 'layout' element!
'Layouts' had to do with combining word and images inside of a pleasing process and numerous objects that will rule papers. The recommendations helped all the production musician and performer align all the images simultaneously horizontally along with vertically. Reproduced using white ink, the foundations could not really be photographed, thereby rendering the foundations invisible while in the final reproduced publication. Adhering the written text and images to ruled conventional paper was accomplished through a variety involving methods. Household glues were a choice, but also from the 1940′s bees tart became trendy. Electronic tart machines was plugged towards an avenue and permitted to warm way up.
Artists Photographers – Fine Art Printing For Self Publishing
Fine artwork or gale publishing offer wedding photographers and artists a low priced way in making high superior quality reproductions in their work for the purpose of display and / or sale The printing is conducted at a basic that makes it possible for every detail with the original give good results to come through lacking compromise. Through with the multitude of cutting edge scanning strategies, exquisite records, and archival inks, these prints are usually artwork in themselves all of which last extended than various inkjet, silkscreen as well as lithograph picas.
Key to making a high standard are definitely the inks utilized. Unlike a large number of standard stamping processes designed to use either a few colored inks (RGB), as well as four (CMYK), artwork printing makes use of roughly 12 colors to supply an virtually infinite collection of shades and even tones. This covers a more detailed reproduction for the original function, capturing not simply the total tonal assortment, but equally allowing simple changes inside color to say the consistency in dazzling, crisp information. This is very effective any time reproducing art, as any brush stroke is seen. Even ornate, highly in depth painting effects including stippling or perhaps impasto shall be apparent on the print.
And also using a great deal more inks, the chemical comprise of people inks is actually specially manufactured to stand typically the test of your respective. Even trained printed pictures and pictures will fade after a while or endure color distortions as a result of UV impairment. The archival pigmented inks employed in are UV stable and definitely will resist falling and yellowing for over a century. State for the art publishing solutions part of digital art work printing means there presently exist no noticeable signs on the printing technique. Unlike many other lower superior quality reproductions, a new print prepared will present no dots, collections, color boundaries, or many other printer dings.
There are usually various documents or canvas there to create distinct looks. Artwork papers would definitely be a specialty, often manufactured by family held businesses that have already passed their particular paper generating secrets not to mention skills because of generation to help you generation. These papers have to be 100% acid liberal to avoid virtually any decay as well as chemical interaction along with the inks, and require a specific standard involving porosity to hire the inks to stick to the spot without falling through above absorption. Of course doing this effort in addition to knowledge will be wasted, if your original scan to your print isn't really of the identical high usual as any element involved with creating the last piece. Ahead of printing, the interpretation within the original should be a good that they can. The ancient adage about "Rubbish inside, rubbish out" is the never truer than on the globe of skill printing.

For the past week, when not playing Black Desert Online(which is pretty damn awesome), I've mostly been doing various visual tweaks and not that much code. I like to change things up and do visual one week and code the next to not get completely exhausted at one thing and risking losing interest. This means that for next week, the main focus is code again. Now, let's look through some of the changes made this week.
New Equipment Window
Last week I showed of the new item screen, which was the first preview. This week it's almost finished, preview below.
When opening a chest, this window pops up, showing you your current item of the same type found in the chest. Since the player can only have one item equipped per slot and no inventory to store them in, it gives you the choice of either leaving the item or taking it with you. If you choose to take the new item, your previous one is destroyed without the possibility of getting it back. So it's usually a good idea to not instantly take the new item, but look over the stat changes and enchants. On the task list for next week: Green text if the stat is better, and red if it's worse. The item slots available are as follows:
- Main Hand
- Swords, axes, bow.
- Shield
- Use a shield to block damage, obviously. Can not be used with the bow.
- Armor
- Armor sets contain a chest piece, sometimes a helmet and new boots.
- Lockpicks / Keys
- Used for unlocking doors and chests.
Character texture changes
Characters have also received some visual tweaks, most notably in their color schemes and their heads. Previously their heads were squares, but I changed their shape slightly by making the faces pointier instead to make it more clear which way they are facing and also making them seem a bit more "natural" by scaling joints to get some curvature and different shading over the models. These changes are most notable when a character enters ragdoll-mode with arms and legs flying all over. Fun stuff.
Doing animation tweaks and changing the base mesh lead to the attack animation getting screwed up, as well as the walking animation not looping properly. The running animation loops perfectly though. Weird. In the second screenshot you can also see that the player holds the sword out to the side, and trying to attack somehow inverts the animation. For some reason this has only affected the player and not other objects, despite them being the same mesh with a different texture applied to it. Aiming to have this fixed until next week.
Enterable buildings without loading
Previously if you were to enter a house, the game would load that house interior as a separate scene. I've been experimenting some with having the houses be actual objects in the overworld scene allowing you to enter them without any loading, just open/unlock the door and enter and the roof disappears. Preview gif below.
Although the houses are cramped and small, this fits well with the overall design of Querden and the architectural style of the island. With most of the population being poor, having a bigger house is reserved for the elite. Not all houses are enterable, but those who are will be marked with various patterns that you should be able to recognize. Sometimes a house may be enterable, but the door is locked. If you have the key you can unlock the door, but if you don't you should try to get your hands on some lockpicks to pick the lock.
That's all for this week. Check back in 7 days for a new post about development.I'll try to limit my hours with Black Desert and get some more work done this week. I might write a small review of the game if I find that I have the time for it, we'll see.

There's something appealing about teddy bears. Over the years I've accumulated many. They are not all mine, though they are very welcome to stay. The ones left behind when our children moved out have been given a home on a shelf in the spare room or in my writing space. I even have a Children In Need Pudsey Bear charm on my Pandora bracelet. I was delighted to discover a Teddy Bear Café in York last year and looked no further for somewhere to have an afternoon snack. It's a shop, too, full of bears and I still can't believe I didn't buy one.
Meet Grandpa Teddy. He's my oldest surviving bear and he's been my treasure for fifty-seven years. A lifetime of continuing love has left him blind, threadbare and with a growl so weak it's hardly audible. I was four years old when he arrived, a surprise gift as it wasn't Christmas or my birthday. He was lying on the living-room floor, hiding under opened-out tea towels.
Covering him in clean tea towels was how my parents decided to wrap him up for me. It sounds bizarre but Grandpa Teddy is massive, much bigger than I was at the time and there was always an abundant supply of fresh towels in the pub, my parents being in the licensed trade. Also, it should be mentioned that they brought him home from a Licensed Victualler's 'do' which would have involved the consumption of a couple of drinks, and I can imagine the pair of them, evening gown and dress suit, giggling as they draped the towels over him. The story was that Teddy was the subject of a 'Guess the Name' and nobody got it so they auctioned him instead and my daddy rescued him for me.
I don't know what my first reaction was and there's no one left to ask, but I would have been over-joyed. I've always kept him in my bedroom and yes, that's where he is right now, after nipping downstairs for a quick photo shoot.
The bears all mean something to me, though Grandpa Teddy, stuffed with straw and on the hard side is my favourite, they all bring comfort and joy.
My son's teddy from his baby days lives here, waiting in our cot to keep our grandson company when he stays. It's a tuneful bear that plays Brahm's Lullaby very gently over and over.
I don't know what happened to my first teddy. I named him Mickey Dripping and I used to take him with me to Sunday School. Maybe he's the reason why I was given a certain book at prize-giving.
Recently, I was visiting my sister. She's moved house and was showing me round.
"Ah, Teddy Carlo," I said, delighted to see her first teddy propped up on a pillow in her bedroom. I remember he was a christening present to her. Now he's pale and floppy, well-loved.
We all need our bears, however mature we are. Thanks for reading, Pam x
My Big Teddy Grandpa Teddy, you've always been here For all of my life I've kept you near You've given comfort to my sadness And shared in all my joy and gladness. Your stitched-on smile is coming undone, Your orange glass eyes have long since gone. Straw stuffing is sneaking from your seams You keep hold of my secrets and dreams. Your proud growl, now a tiny rumble, Brown leather nose begins to crumble, Golden fur is thinning and threadbare, And I love you, special teddy bear.

Sweet Potato Black Bean Salsa
A couple of weeks ago I decided that I really needed to make the effort to incorporate beans into my diet. Not only are they good for you but as a vegetarian, I think they should be included in at least a meal or two every week. Unfortunately up until this point, I have been a very bad bean fearing vegetarian. Because you see, I don't really love beans. The first bean dish that I liked was seven layer dip, but then the beans are covered by other delicious things like guacamole, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes and green onions. Then I discovered that I liked refried beans. But I haven't really explored the world of beans too much aside from that.
I've made a few dishes with chickpeas, though I don't really like chickpeas (aside from in hummus, delicious! - I still remember the time when I was on an airplane and my vegetarian meal was a bun with a few chickpeas in it...) I thought that if I made the beans from scratch (buy dried beans instead of canned), that might make the whole thing more exciting for me so I'd be looking forward to eating beans. I haven't done that yet, but I am becoming more accepting of beans. I think I need to find one or two kinds that I like and then find dishes that use them.
My issue with beans reminds me of Jeffrey Steingarten's book The Man Who Ate Everything. Great book by the way, highly recommend it. Anyway, he talks about how there were foods that he didn't like (I can't remember them now but I think one of them was Greek salad and possibly organ meats?). So what he did was he decided to expose himself to those foods enough, which resulted in him shedding his picky eater ways. Now in my head when I think of something I don't like but I know I should eat (ie. beans), I think of him and it makes it easier to know that one day I will like something I previously didn't.
Once I decided I needed to eat more beans, I started looking through my cookbooks' indexes to find something tasty. One of the first things I saw caught my eye: sweet potato and black bean salsa. Sweet potatoes are one of my favourite veggies (or technically tubers?) and one of my favourite things in general to eat, so how could I go wrong? And then I read the description above the recipe, which said "great for Halloween!" (since black beans = black, sweet potato = orange) and I was totally sold. (Halloween and the month leading up to it, the time of year, all the decorations, the spooky stories, and all of that wonderful stuff are all my favourite things.)
I had read through the entire recipe before going out to buy ingredients, but when I started making it, I completely forgot that I was going to half it (since it makes I think it was 7 cups of salsa!) That is an absolute ton of salsa for one person to eat. Luckily other people liked it so I constantly told them to eat it. I'm actually amazed that we got through the whole thing. Mostly I used the salsa to make quesadillas (just with the salsa and some cheese). So delicious. Other people wished it was spicier, and I would've been okay with that but I didn't have a problem with it the way it was. I was scared that the sweet potato would be too mushy once it was cooked and chopped but it held up just fine. The addition of pumpkin seeds was also festive, and nutritious! I've only made salsa a couple of times before and I haven't yet made a more traditional salsa. I think I'm scared of messing it up since I love salsa so much. I would definitely make this salsa again though, and surprisingly I wished that there were more beans in the salsa!
Sweet Potato Black Bean Salsa
(adapted from Entertaining for A Veggie Planet)
Makes 7 cups
2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 2), peeled & quartered
2 1/4 cups finely chopped tomatoes
1 13-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/3 cup fresh lime juice*
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
1. Place the sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan and add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until just tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well and allow to cool.
2. While waiting for the sweet potatoes to cool, put together the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl. Once the sweet potatoes are cool, finely chop them and add them to everything else. Mix well.
*For some reason the recipe says this is 6 limes but for me it was 2.

Should I rejoice at 'Slumdogs Millionaire' Success?
World sings 'Jai ho' around this globe While the poor man sits outside a gate Wearing garb of poverty His tattered crown bringing fame and show From rags to riches, the world rejoice While we tread through those narrow lanes Seeing hollow eyes, bloated tummy Can we be proud of our helpless folks? I am not sure if I am proud of eight Oscar awards. But here, this is the truth that we try to hide under the carpet and pretend that it doesn't exist. There are always resigned attitude of many Indians saying 'What can we do?' This movie "Slumdog…" hits us hard, real hard. Many of my friends (abroad) have pointed out this to me many times in the past saying that they are very much troubled by the poverty of India, especially when they are in their relaxed state in the luxury of their car, munching on a bar of chocolate and then see a dirty, stained face, peeping into their car window with helpless look, begging piteously. Former Bond girl Michelle Yeoh quotes, "The film was a fairy tale and shouldn't be confused with what life is actually like for India's poor and that Boyle had to make "Slumdog Millionaire" upbeat because the true story of what it is like to live in a slum wouldn't have appealed to audiences." And this is the truth, the reality that only Indian who lives in close proximity to those shanty slums finds it hard to ignore. It made me squirm, cringe, reject and reluctantly accept. It was so honest that I was benumbed by its content. There were times that I wished that he had not stripped my City of Mumbai like this. But the story worked! One year ago, when it was released, no distributor was willing to buy it and now, world rejoices at its success. Eight Oscar awards! It suddenly acknowledges India's existence and indirectly, Bollywood importance in world cinema. Hopefully, world's attention will clear the debris. I only hope that those child stars, Azharuddin and Rubina, who walked the red carpet at Oscars will not return back to their shanty lives. I hope their life will change forever……

Delli che...kem che.....
I came out from the theatre after watching Delhi 6 and met a friend just outside the theatre. She asked me whether I had enjoyed the film. I told her that the film bumped and went over my head. I am not sure if I understood the film. Till interval I was trying to figure out where the story (if any) was leading. The crowded and narrow streets of Delhi, the cow giving birth in the middle of the road, the temple with hundred bells, the blind faith of people in the city, all this was very confusing to me. Moreover the acoustics of the theatre were bad too and many of the Abhishek's dialogues were just mumbling sounds (I think I am going deaf) In the film, there was news report of 'Black Monkey' causing havoc in the city and I keep wondering what is it trying to portray? Is black monkey the blind faith of the people, is it superstitions or is it the imagination of one person that is aped by others in agreement? And then this Sonam, who has conservative father, manages to dress in the weirdest costumes with belly button et al, ..pines to be Indian idol….is her father just unaware of his daughter's activities or is he too dumb? Can't decide. There must be reason for Mehra to show Ramleela throughout the movie, maybe there is the connection somewhere, I fail to understand. I think I don't seem to understand movies any more!

Day out at 'Kala Ghoda Festival'
After lunch, my friends and I headed towards south Mumbai to experience 'Kala Ghoda Festival'. Being last day of the 10-day-Festival, it was too crowded and we kept getting lost into the crowd. It was like every thirty minutes we would call on our mobile to find each other. We all had different interests and while I spend most of my time shooting the pictures, my friends were more interested in shopping knick knacks or eating. Somewhat, not only do the art in any form attracts me but even the artist at work. This man worked skillfully on sculpture of a man, I moved closer to see this artist shape a strip of plywood There were also some children learning Warli painting for Rs100, they had made cute greeting cards. There was a big crowd near the stage where there were different performers at different times, there was music playing all the time and everyone could be seen shaking their heads and tapping their feet. We stopped there to have a cup of coffee. And there was bigger crowd at food stalls, Imagine a Pani Puri for Rs35. I get better Pani Puri in my lane for just Rs12! How they loot public at the fairs! There were kiosks where they abused political trouble makers And others that abused their own government for bad sanitation in the country Children enjoyed the story telling session at BHNS auditorium And towards the evening, I enjoyed the performance poetry at Sassoon Library, which was the nodal point for literature and poetry. It was a very tiring day though fun, fun, fun!

Just thinking...........
Is it right to criticize someone in their absence? I think we have no right to criticize anybody if we do not have guts to say the same thing on their face. By criticizing we are only conditioning the opinion of other person to look at the person from our angle. We are not giving people chance to make their own opinion. And what are we trying to prove? Are we trying to say that we are superior to them and that person is too week or selfish to meet our standard of expectations? And how does it help us? We are just wasting time in spreading negative vibrations and getting entangled in this web too. And what is the use? If we must criticize, then we must have the courage to do it on their face so that he can improve. There are people who can never change. We have to learn to accept them as they are. For example if the person is having hatred for everybody for no particular reason, then it is not possible for us to help her. How can we help her if she does not know that the problem exists? So, our criticizing her is not going to help her at all, on the contrary, it could make the matter worse. We can only help those who are ready to help themselves. The person has to first admit that the problem exists, she has to be aware that she is hating everybody for no reason at all. Once she recognizes that the problem exists then she can make an effort to change herself. We cannot help anybody who is not ready to accept that the problem exists. In that case, either we accept them as they are, or steer away from her horizon so that it does not bother us. But we are most concerned about people who we love. So what is love? Love is feeling in harmony with the other person, of being on the same wave length and accepting the person as they are, so that there is no conflict at all. Love is feeling oneness with the other person so that you begin to think like them. But many times we don't understand the meaning of love and we start to suffocate the other person by getting too attached to them. By attaching our self to other, we are only causing pain to our self. We have to learn to live in this world in a detached manner. What is detachment? Detachment is unconditional love. It is unselfish love. A love without any expectation is detachment. To maintain a relationship with attachment is impossible. Too much attachment makes us encroach on their private space and then there is conflict. …….

The recent and most popular post that I see on the FB is this randomness where you write 25 facts about you, and tag your 25 friends to share your post. It is quite interesting to read different posts by different friends..and I have read the posts of all my friends who post it, whether they tag me or not..... Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you. (To do this, go to "notes" under tabs on your profile page on the FB, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.) So Now about me: 25 random things about me... 1. I love children, their smiles, their movements, their innocent talks and I love watching them play 2.

I don't like chocolates, cakes, sweets, fruits, ice creams and pastries, spicy food is tasty 11. I don't crave for anything that is beyond my reach and I am most contented with whatever I have 12. Three questions I ask myself whenever I go for shopping, Do I need it? Is there enough storage available for new purchase? Is it worth it? I will buy only what I really, really need. 13.

Strolling around on a golf course with your buddies is usually a great way to kick back and relax but for one foursome it has provide a $30 millin windfall, that's because Ian McMurtrie, Tom Moryson, Wayne Miller and Joe Scully played the Max jackpot this week and in the process the golf lottery jackpot winners won $30 million, that's $7.5 million each for those keeping score at home.
As McMurtrie held up the cheque for $30 million at the B.C. Lottery Corp. officers in Vancouver he said of the windfall:
"Friday being a holiday, I almost forgot to buy [the weekly ticket]," and "I almost forgot. I was watching the Masters on Friday and they said it was the second round I said, 'Second round? It feels like Saturday, I better go get the lottery ticket.'"
McMurtrie realized after he arrived at the local store that another ticket he bought had won $20 so he asked the clerk to roll that $20 over into more tickets.
It turns out McMurtie hadn't even realized his group had won, his wife discovered that someone in Abbotsford had the winning ticket and he started checking the seven number. According to McMurtrie:
"I only got to see five numbers before I collapsed because I was shaking so hard," he said. "She had to check the last two."
Eventually the other three men came over for a celebratory sip of champagne.
News of the windfall couldn't come at a better time for McMurtrie who was recently laid off from his job in the golf industry.
The golf lottery jackpot winners are all avid golfers and I have a feeling they'll be spending a lot more of their free-time on the golf course after winning $7.5 million each.

The CNSOPB has in place an effective monitoring program to evaluate operator compliance with environmental regulatory requirements while conducting authorized petroleum related work activities. Operators are required to submit reports detailing the status of their work programs on an ongoing basis, along with other documentation to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements. Operational status reports are provided on a daily basis for drilling and production activities, and on a weekly basis for other activities. Reports filed with the CNSOPB are reviewed by staff to identify environmental compliance issues, and such issues are addressed accordingly.
CNSOPB staff also regularly conduct environmental compliance audits and inspections at offshore work sites and Operator offices.
CNSOPB staff may investigate environmental incidents that occur at offshore worksites, depending upon their nature and severity. An investigation is normally conducted using conservation officer powers granted by the Accord Act legislation. However, in cases where a conservation officer has reasonable grounds to believe an offence has been committed, the investigation is conducted taking into account limitations imposed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The CNSOPB has an established compliance and enforcement policy to address situations of regulatory noncompliance. Enforcement actions may include:
- voluntary compliance;
- issuance of orders, directives or notices;
- suspension or revocation of approvals and authorizations; and
- prosecution in the court system
