Dell Lollipop Treats
Dell is rolling out the cute side of its stock with "Treats", a television commercial featuring factory workers singing the 1958 song "Lollipop". In what could have been a scene in Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, colorful Dell notebook computers are rolled out and packaged for the market. The video was launched in the USA in June and has since been rolled out around the world.
Click on the image below to play the video.
The Treats campaign was developed at Mother New York by creative directors Linus Karlsson and Paul Malmstrom, art director Mat Driscoll and copywriter Greg Hunter, and agency producer Emma Starzacher.
Filming was shot by directing collectie Traktor with director of photography Tim Maurice-Jones.
Post production was done at The Mill, New York. Editor was Avi Oron at Bikini Edit.
"Lollipop" was written by Julius Dixson and Beverly Ross in 1958 for the duo Ronald & Ruby ( Ronald Gumps and Beverly Ross). The song became a worldwide hit when recorded by The Chordettes. Download the music only at www.dell.com/delights.

9 Tips for Mapping Websites
I wrote this article back in 2009 but most of it still stands. Add in the need to support and DESIGN FOR mobile and tablets.
If you are bringing your GIS out of the back office and onto the web or intranet, think about your non-specialist audience. No matter how useful your site is, if you confuse visitors or it is painfully slow, they will give up and all your hard work will be wasted.
User friendly websites don't have to be flashy with fancy bells and whistles, just easy to find your way around.
Tips for Mapping Websites is a work in progress. Please send me yours, or your favourite mapping website.
#1 Test your website in all browsers including Chrome which is gaining popularity. Just a little over 50% of visitors are now using IE. I have visited a few mapping sites recently that just hang in Chrome.
#2 Avoid acronyms or explain them. Use plain english. A user is more likely to understand the word 'layer; than 'theme'
#3 Be careful with layers. The average punter won't know to switch them on. Rather than giving them, limit the choices. You can always add more when your users get more savvy (and especially if they start asking you for it). This Webmaps article explores presentation and performance
#4 Make it useful. It doesn't matter how good the data is, people need to need it. This is a great example for the London Tube
#5 Encourage feedback. Make it very easy and obvious how to get in touch with you. AND RESPOND!! This means assigning ongoing resources and budgets for support.
#6 Monitor who is using it. What are they looking at? Are they coming back? How often? What are the trends? More in Webstats article
#7 Read this article before you write an article about your new mapping website
Ten Suggestions for Those Who Write About Local GIS Implementations by Adena Schutzberg , Directions Magazine
#8 Test performance. Visitors expect fast response these days yet they don't all have ultra-fast broadband. Consider hosting it in the cloud (such as on amazon.com) for scalability if demand takes off.
#9 Check out Mashup Competition entrants for slick, user friendly design
My favourites from the Victorian appmystate comp
Also the MashupAustralia Competition entries which are combining Public Sector data from www.data.australia.gov.au (now defunct) in creative, intuitive and useful ways. Most are using Google maps and APIs but some are using Openstreetmaps. Lots of Open source stuff which is very exciting.
One of my favourites was it's buggered mate to "tell your local council what is buggered in your neighbourhood. Find your location on the map, then scribble on it, and leave notes about what is wrong". A great idea that could be extended to utilities or any other infrastructure owner. There is now a production version called neatstreets

The Hair Tales - Project by Michaela Angela Davis
The Hair Tales is a collection of Hair Stories from Black Women collected by Michaela Angela Davis with the idea to look at Black Women's identity through the lens of hair and to affirm it.
2 series are visible online: The Parlor Series and the Kitchen Table Talks
Here is how she present it on the website consacred to the project - MAD FREE Website (click):
The Hair Tales is created to affirm Black Women, inform non-Black people about Black Women and inspire the world through Black women's beautiful curly, kinky and coily journey.
After nearly 5 years of analyzing the senseless relentless Black death on CNN and other public
platforms, the terrorist attack of prayerful citizens in a historic Charleston church broke something in me. In an act of survival, I did what my ancestors have always done – got to work on creating something that illustrated the power of Black beauty and the demonstrated the generosity of our humanity. I called MAD FREE producer, Quan, and pleaded "We have to tell stories of Black girl joy and resilience, now."
Inspired by the brilliant work of "texture guru," Anthony Dickey, and the emotional and hysterical stories I heard in his hair rules salon, the concept of "Vagina Monologues of Black Hair" was a doc on my desktop for a few years. Within a few days the doc turned into a pitch, in a few more days the pitch was presented to a few celebrity sisters. Regina King was the first to say yes. Then came Tasha Smith, who also offered her studio space for free. Mara Brock Akil (who was sick) came through, followed by funny gals Kim Coles and Amanda Seales. Patrisse Cullors, full with her first child also did not hesitate to agree. Quan pulled similar favors on the production crew, we got a stellar DP, sound, make up and in less than 2 days shot 6 incredible stories about Black women's identity through the lens of their hair. While my heart is still broken from Charleston and all the ignorance, violence and injustice that persist, my spirit is indestructible because I know Black women together are a superpower, our beauty is bulletproof and our hair can shapeshift through all this shit.

Ben Jealous, NAACP Head To Step Down At Year's End
[Civil Rights]
NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous has announced plans to resign as President and CEO on December 31, 2013.
Roslyn M. Brock, Chairman of the NAACP Board of Directors, accepted his formal letter of notice this week.
"We thank President Jealous for his time leading the Association," said Brock. "Under his leadership, the NAACP has built a highly competent staff that will carry our mission forward and meet the civil rights challenges of the 21st century. Our board, staff and volunteer leaders throughout the country deeply appreciate his sacrifice, and will continue to implement our game-changing goals for the next half century that include the restoration of Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act, implementing Trayvon's Law, bolstering civic engagement efforts and ensuring our community is enrolled in the Affordable Care Act exchanges."
"The NAACP has always been the largest civil rights organization in the streets, and today it is also the largest civil rights organization online, on mobile and at the ballot box too," said Benjamin Jealous. "I am proud to leave the Association financially sound, sustainable, focused, and more powerful than ever. Beginning next year, I look forward to pursuing opportunities in academia to train the next generation of leaders and, of course, spending a lot more time with my young family."
In recent years the NAACP has won state and local battles to abolish the death penalty, shrink prison systems, outlaw racial profiling, expand voting rights protections, reform gun laws, close dangerous power plants, expand early childhood education, secure health care coverage for the uninsured, and more.
The Association will continue its as an ally in the fights for workers' rights, women's rights, immigrants' rights, and marriage equality, as well as in the struggle to end the HIV epidemic.
Jealous will remain with the Association through December 31, 2013.

I was rereading some parts of the book Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath last night and it made me think about applying those concepts to training athletes.

The difficulty of having dialogue about the "sport science" area is perplexing. Open discussions about issues in the field are not only discouraged but can just disappear without any explanations. True sport science that involves interaction between sport scientists, conditioning coaches, and sport coaches seems to be virtually non-existent in the U.S. as a former mentor of mine Dr. Mike Stone has pointed out in articles and presentations.
In the U.S., we have universities that use…Continue

New Anime Series Released! Rizelmine!
Well well well! Hasn't it been a busy time at Ani-Pock! Exciting to say the least...
To recap: Last Monday, Pita Ten was launched. Yesterday was the 1st aniversary of Ani-Pock and today, Rizelmine begins!
Please note that Rizelmine is oficially tagged as Mature. But I would have to say this is partly misleeding. ANN tagged it such because it has many suggestive scenes. But as I pointed out in a previous post, its not like TV is any different.
So if you'd like, jump into the anime now!
Otherwise, I have this silly little poll for you =)

Shutters to Complement Your Claremore Home
What better way to bring beauty to your home than the timeless window shutter? It is no surprise that shutters have continued to be popular even after more modern window treatments were introduced. This success can be credited to their beauty, as they as compliment any style of house and building (from modern to rustic style houses). Another reason why shutters have thrived all these years is because of how resilient they are against the elements. This resilience provided homes with security and protection from outside forces such as intruders and weather. As time passed by, glass was made accessible to nearly everyone and was designed to replace the shutter as it offered enhanced fortification. This allowed the shutter to become more of an aesthetic feature on many homes. Though the shutter has seen very little change in design and function, shutters have proven to compliment the beauty of any home and have secured their place in home décor. Why Wood Shutters?
We hold customer satisfaction above all else and have strived to provide customers with the highest quality wood shutters available. Our shutters are made from eco-friendly hardwoods that are carefully inspected and selected to ensure they meet the demands of our customers. There are many options that come with purchasing wood shutters. You may choose from various choices such as staining the wood, having them painted or leaving their natural color. Our shutters are designed to fit any style and will compliment any home.
When to Consider Composite Shutters
If you need a more cost-friendly alternative, then composite shutters may be your choice. They are just as beautiful as wooden shutters but are less expensive. Though they are a little cheaper, the quality and styles certainly do not diminish. You have the option to paint composite shutters in any color that fits your house. Composite shutters are an ideal option for kitchens, laundry rooms, bathrooms and other areas that are high in humidity. They are quite durable and are resistant to cracking, warping and mold. The fact that they are relatively inexpensive is another plus to composite shutters.
Classic Design and Timeless Style
Nothing beats the classics and it also holds true for shutters. Shutters have the ability to make any home look beautiful and can sometimes restore unsightly homes into mesmerizing ones. It may sound outlandish but a home without shutters can sometimes look incomplete and dull. Bring some life to your home by installing window shutters. Before you decide whether you should purchase window shutters or not, let us give you more information. Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns that you may have. We want to help you bring out the most of your home and are sure that window shutters can aid in making your home stunning. Let us help you make the right decisions for you window, window treatment and shutter needs for your Claremore home.

The 12:15 Ocean Magic II headed east to reports of Killer Whales in Rosario Strait. Once on scene our Skipper Scotty put us in excellent position to view these great whales. We watched them as they made their way down the Strait. They were tight to the shoreline, and were in traveling mode, in several small groups. They rose for air in the calm water, sending their breath high in the air. Our crew filled out guests with information on whale behavior and answered all the questions. It was a beautiful afternoon on the water with Prince of Whales!

This is a far-from exhaustive list of genres that I have summarised from this list on Wikipedia.
(I have left out some genres; probably more because of a lack of understanding or appreciation on my part. There are a lot of genres and I feel that some of the 'labels' are simply created to re-package essentially the same material, or to try and name blends of genres. There is nothing wrong with either of those reasons, but it does make for an overload of genre types).
- Action – the protagonist usually takes a risky turn, which leads to desperate situations (explosions, fight scenes, daring escapes, etc.). Common sub-genres include military, spy or western fiction. (Sometimes merged with Adventure).
- Adventure – Protagonist journeys to epic or distant places to accomplish something. The protagonist has a mission and faces obstacles to get to their destination. Adventure stories usually include unknown settings and characters with prized properties or features. (Sometimes merged with Action).
- Comedy – tells about a series of funny or comical events, intended to make the readers laugh. Common sub-genres include comedy of manners, humorous, parody, romantic comedy or black comedy.
- Crime – about a crime that is being committed or was committed. It can also be an account of a criminal's life. Common sub-genres include courtroom or legal thriller, detective story, gangster, murder mystery.
- Fantasy – about magic or supernatural forces, rather than technology. May also include science fiction elements. Common sub-genres include contemporary, urban, epic/high, heroic or mythic fantasy.
- Historical – about a real person or event. Common sub-genres include autobiography, memoir, alternate history, period piece.
- Historical fiction – depicts real historical figures, and actual events, which are woven together with fictitious elements.
- Horror – told to deliberately scare or frighten the reader, through suspense, violence or shock. Common sub-genres include ghost story, monster, slasher, survival horror.
- Philosophical – where a significant proportion of the work is devoted to a discussion of the sort of questions normally addressed in discursive philosophy. These might include the function and role of society, the purpose of life, ethics or morals, the role of art in human lives, and the role of experience or reason in the development of knowledge. Often found in science fiction, utopian and dystopian fiction.
- Political – deals with political affairs, often used to provide commentary on real-life political events, systems and theories. Common sub-genres include utopian or dystopian fiction and survivalism.
- Romance – Traditionally, a romance story involves chivalry, adventure and love. In modern writing, a story about character's relationships, or engagements (a story about character development and interpersonal relationships rather than adventures).
- Family Saga – chronicles the lives and doings of a family or a number of related or interconnected families over a period of time.
- Science fiction – similar to fantasy, except stories in this genre use scientific understanding to explain the universe that it takes place in. It generally includes computers, travel through space, time or alternate universes; alien life-forms; genetic engineering. Common sub-genres include hard, apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic social or military science fiction, space opera and a whole lot of punk.
- Slice of Life – a story that might have no plot, but represents a portion of (everyday) life.
- Thriller – a story that is usually a mix of fear and excitement. It has traits from the suspense and action genre and is often borderline horror fiction. Common sub-genres include disaster-thriller and psychological thriller.

So far, we've discussed the Semantic Web, which is an attempt at automating the process of searching the web and integrating the results, and Web 2.0/3.0, which is largely oriented toward making media-intensive web applications highly responsive. (We noted in an earlier blog that Web 3.0 is an extension of Web 2.0, and we will look at this transition in a fugure blog.)
But there's a third term that is often thrown into the mix: web services. What are they?
A web service is a web application that is not accessed interactively by a human, but rather by a program.
To make use of a website, we load a URL into a browser and visit the site. Once we're there, we might – even if we don't realize it – be operating a very sophisticated application, like Amazon. We can search their inventory – which sits inside a very large database – via Amazon's search form.
But there's something else you can do with Amazon. We can access their inventory via a web service. Or more precisely, we can build programs that can access their inventory by communicating with programs (called web services) that they have provided. Our programs and their programs talk to each other directly. These services can be used to do things that would usually would be very time-consuming, and in fact, often intractable, if performed with a browser. Their web services also allow third party vendors to post their stock on Amazon, and in return for a fee, let Amazon sell and ship their products. Thus, independent vendors can easily make themselves an extension of Amazon, something that works so smoothly that if we don't look carefully, we might not realize we are buying something that is not directly marketed by Amazon.
The way a web service works is by the provider of the service (such as Amazon) making the interface to the software that implements the service publicly accessible over the Internet. Such an interface is called an Application Programming Interface, or API. This way, anyone who wants to write a program that will access the service over the web knows exactly how to write their program to talk to the web service. These programs that access web services are called "client" applications.
There is a wide class of web services available on the Internet, and many of them provide APIs that allow programmers to write software that can access vast databases of such things as news and real estate information. Many web services also are available via a website, for users who want to use the service interactively. And many client applications are really just doing the same thing a browser might do when accessing a website, except that the client is likely to be a far more specialized application and it runs as a desktop application on your machine. More importantly, that client program might be able to things that your browser cannot do.
For example, there is a web service called MusicBrainz; it provides information about music, not the music itself. It can be accessed via an API. There is also a website, MusicBrainz.org, where you can search the database interactively. The API might be accessed by a CD player application; it can communicate with MusicBrainz (without you knowing it) to download information about whatever CD you happen to be listening to on your desktop. It might enable your CD player to tell you the artist's name and variations of that name, the release date, the catalog number, etc.
Since part of the idea is that we don't have to directly interact with web services by using a browser, their explosive growth has been very quiet. Many websites are powered by input they get by using web service APIs. These second-hand websites are often called "portals", and many portals integrate information from a number of sources and give you access to information that would otherwise be very tedious to find on your own. Web services are thus a critical building block for many of the multimedia, highly interactive websites that constitute much of the Web 2.0 effort.
In fact, they underscore the difficulty in making a sharp distinction between the Semantic Web and Web 2.0/3.0. This is because both of them depend highly on automating the movement of information around the Internet. A Web 2.0 website (often called a web application because it provides fast access to complex information, in particular, sound, images, and/or video) cannot answer your search request quickly unless it has ongoing, rapid access to underlying streams of information on the web. But this capability, of providing us with information integrated from multiple websites, is actually a cornerstone of the emerging Semantic Web.
The difference is that the Semantic Web will (hopefully) someday put a tremendous amount of smarts into web services, and allow us to locate, transform, and integrate information in extremely complex ways. The Semantic Web, in this sense, can be viewed as an extremely aggressive extent of the Web 2.0/3.0 effort.
So there we have it. Web services, in their hidden way, are rapidly evolving the web into something incredibly powerful.

Valerie Johnson & her King Bees
When you can't make it to New Orleans and are craving a heapin' helping of swinging, Traditional New Orleans Jazz just give Valerie Johnson a buzz.
QUEEN BEE, VALERIE JOHNSON, leads her merry band of KING BEES with her powerful vocals and a command of the stage that she's honed to a fine art in her 20+ years of crowd pleasing performances.
Valerie Johnson has been a lead singer and band leader with a wide range of acts including Big Brother & the Holding Company Creole Syncopators, New Sound Boogie Band, Golden Eagle Jazz Band, Alcatraz Angels, Valerie Johnson & the Blues Doctors, Bitburg Gospel Messengers.
Valerie Johnson is also a well known music educator having developed and led, for ten years, the Blues for Kids interactive performance and workshop on the history of Blues, Jazz and Gospel Music. She has also been a Resource Music Teacher, since 1999, for grades K through 12 in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Big Sur School Districts.
HER KING BEES include:
JEFFREY ALLAN – our reed Superman, Coronet on Clarinet and Saxophone.
Jeffrey Allan, a California native, has been playing Traditional New Orleans Jazz for 42 years. He was a band leader and played with the Fink Street Five, British Connection, San Juan Jazz Rascals and many more.
He learned the original way performing Traditional New Orleans Jazz because he was brought up by the originators of this Jazz by the musicians that played with Buddy Bolden, King Oliver and Jelly Roll Morton, to name a few.
Mixing his great leadership style and passion for Traditional New Orleans Jazz Jeffrey Allan has been instrumental in passing his beloved music on to next generation in the same way it was passed on to him.
Generous with his time, Jeffrey Allan is devoted to training youth in the original style of Traditional New Orleans Jazz and never misses a beat when it comes to supporting and encouraging any interested young person.
His music has taken him to Japan, Mexico and throughout the Western United States.
JONNIE SUDANO – our award winning Trombone player
AL B BLUE – Rhythm section, banjo and guitar.
Al B. Blue's reverence and obvious enjoyment for Traditional Jazz shows when plays. Al B. Blue began his musical journey as a classically trained pianist and street corner doo-wop singer in New Jersey.
After moving to California, he picked up the guitar and soon made a name for himself which landed him a position in a blues band touring the infamous "chitlin' circuit". Touring the "circuit" introduced Al B. Blue to Traditional New Orleans Jazz which so inspired him that be dedicated himself to learning the banjo and the rest, as they say, is history. Al B. Blue's musical adventures have taken on tours throughout the United States and Thailand.
Al B. Blue is also Valerie Johnson's right hand man when they take the Valerie Johnson Presents: Blues for Kids workshops on tour throughout the United States. Valerie Johnson and Al B. Blue are also part of a Blues Presentation at the Smithsonian Institute. Besides helping kids discover their musical passion, Al B. Blue is committed to doing his part in keeping these great musical styles alive by teaching children the history of blues, gospel and Traditional New Orleans Jazz.
ELITA CHAFFIN – Upright Bass.
Sandwiched between her mother, Nonie Chaffin, a well known West Coast Accordion musician, and her daughter, Molly Reeves, Central Coast based singer, songwriter, and rhythm guitar player of the Redskunk Jipsee Swing Band, Elita Chaffin is working diligently to carve out her own unique place in the music world. She studied vocal arts for many years but it was when she began playing upright bass as a means to accompany herself on vocals in the practice room that her musical journey began to really take shape. She is thrilled to be making sweet music as a worker bee in Valerie's hive.

He may be a 54-year-old father of one, but don't think for a second that Alton Brown, celebrity chef and host of Food Network's "Cutthroat Kitchen," is out of touch.
Take his newest cookbook (his eighth), which is an homage to simpler cooking. It's called "EveryDayCook."
Each recipe in "EveryDayCook" accompanies a glossy photo taken on an iPhone 6s Plus. It calls to mind the Instagram-era we live in, highlighting the fact that everyday tools can create beautiful art. (Brown also says in the book it was a way to have complete control over the shots.)
Business Insider recently spoke with Brown about the new book and how food television has become much edgier since the days of "Good Eats" — Brown's nerdy, gonzo-style foray into the TV industry that first aired 17 years ago.
Unlike his earlier books, Brown says "EveryDayCook" is less of an instruction manual and more of a catalog of good-neighbor recipes. Many of them are straightforward, but with a twist. For instance, there's nothing special about the nitrous pancakes aside from the fact you'll need a nitrous oxide foamer to achieve the proper fluffiness. Other recipes are tamer, like his take on Brussels sprouts — or as he calls them, "Pygmy cabbages."
"To me, cooking every day keeps me very grounded," he tells Business Insider. "I believe in cooking every day, and the recipes in this book are everyday dishes."
In many ways, "EveryDayCook" also reflects how savvy Brown expects his reader to be. It assumes that even if people no idea what amaranth is or how to use an immersion blender, they're willing to find out if the basic recipe isn't too complex.
"When 'Good Eats' started, I was constantly reminded to keep things simple. Keep it so that somebody's who never cooked before could jump in at any point and do this," Brown says. "We no longer need shows that say 'This is an onion.' We all know it's a frickin' onion."
While shows a decade ago focused mostly on basic, at-home instruction — the kind of format Julia Child helped create — today's food media landscape stretches across TV, the Internet, and social media. Chefs compete on primetime for big cash prizes, vie for their own TV shows, and smoke weed while they wax poetic about Australian fine dining.
Brown chalks the shift up to three factors: the changing ways media gets consumed, the rise of food culture, and millennials' preference for bolder, edgier programs.
Millennials are the largest generation in the US, so it may have been inevitable that whatever they happened to latch on to would become the prevailing tone of the industry. As Joe Pinsker noted in the Atlantic last year, their penchant for new experiences and responsibly-sourced food means many would fall into the category of "foodie."
Brown would like to take some credit for that.
"I'd like to think that the draw 'Good Eats' had was that it funny and visually edgy," Brown says, emphasizing that the show never tried to be edgy from an attitude standpoint because he always wanted it to be kid-friendly.
Fast-forward 15 years and those kids are now adults in their 20s and 30s — the very people who are Instagramming their duck confit and tuning in to watch Viceland. "I'd like to think that I cultivated, safely and healthfully, a long-term audience," he says.
Brown hasn't exactly been watching from the sidelines over the last decade. He served as expert commentator for "Iron Chef America," hosts the culinary game show "Cutthroat Kitchen," headlined the stage show "The Edible Inevitable Tour" for the last two years, and plans to follow up with a similar show, "Eat Your Science," on Broadway this November.
And now 11 years since "Good Eats" went off the air, Brown says he's ready to embrace the new frontier of food media with a show tentatively called "Alton 2.0." It'll live entirely on his website, Altonbrown.com, and he won't divulge its premise just yet. He's planning a larger announcement as 2017 draws closer.
The food-loving masses will just have to wait for their guru to step back into the spotlight.

Roessingh Research and Development (RRD) hosts the 12th month project meeting in this charming Dutch city
Back-UP has completed the first year of intense activity, and celebrates its consortium meeting in Enschede.
Roessingh Research and Development Roessingh Research and Development (RRD) is the biggest centre in the Netherlands where a wide range of disciplines such as rehabilitation medicine, movement sciences, psychology, physiotherapy, biomedical sciences and computer sciences work together under a single roof for current and future innovations in rehabilitation and chronic care.
As an internationally recognised scientific research institute, RRD has a unique position between the university and healthcare practice.
The partners visited also the Roessingh Centrum voor Revalidatie and the NOVALAB, which has a completely new innovative treatment room with a great variety of rehabilitation technology and telemedicine applications, including a 3D rehabilitation treatment experimental application using virtual reality.
Once in the room, the focus was on the project. "We are confident about the future" states the project coordinator Helios de Rosario.
The aim of Back-UP project is to create a prognostic model to support more effective and efficient management of Neck and Low Back Pain (NLBP), based on the digital representation of multidimensional clinical information, and in-silico assessments of possible interventions.
Management of NLBP is a difficult challenge for healthcare professionals and prevention services in this field, since their decisions have a decisive impact on the patient's future health and welfare, as well as on the economic burden on the public and private healthcare systems.
The meeting lasted two days. On day one, all the work packages status was deeply analysed. Day two was mostly dedicated to preparing the forthcoming review meeting: "In July, the consortium will travel to Luxembourg for the first check with EC", says Giuseppe Caprara, Innovation manager at IBV. "That is why is crucial to set up activities accordingly", continues de Rosario.
In the meantime, the consortium had two important line-up changes: Università di Parma ended its participation in the project, and the research group of the University of Sheffield has moved to the University of Leeds. At the moment these changes are under amendment.
During the meeting, Milton Hoz from Sheffied/Leeds, presented the progress in the creation of the system architecture, which is part of work package 5 of the project. "There is a prototype for beta testing already available", says Hoz. Additionally, a paper around this topic has been published in the IEEE Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine.
Also a first version of the baseline questionnaire has been presented. This will be used to define the recommended treatments after the registration of the patient, and its final version is expected to be ready in January.
Next consortium meeting will be in June in Croatia, hosted by GENOS with his third party PMFST (University of Split).
Besides above mentioned IBV (Project Coordinator), RRD, GENOS and PMFST, other partners are: GMV Soluciones Globales Internet SAU and MAZ Mutua De Accidentes De Trabajo Y Enfermedades Profesionales De La Seguridad Social Nº11 (Spain); CIOP-POB Centralny Instytut Ochrony Pracy - Panstwowy Instytut Badawczy (Poland); The University Of Leeds and University Of Keele (UK); Norges Teknisk-Naturvitenskapelige Universitet (Norway); Karolinska Institutet (Sweden); Università degli Studi Di Padova (Italy) and EMPIRICA Gesellschaft Fuer Kommunikations- Und Technologie Forschung Mbh (Germany)
This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 777090.

Stream Torrent is a method of watching video streams over the Internet. It enables people to watch television stations on their PC and also receive live feeds from sporting events. The technology requires users to download a client program, within which the streamed video plays.
Stream Torrent is a peer-to-peer network. Peer to Peer is often written as "P2P." and is the concept behind file sharing systems, and also Skype. The traditional network architecture, which most connections over Internet use, is called "Client-Server." In Client-Server system one computer (the client) connects to another computer (the server) and requests something, which the server delivers. P2P networks have no central store of resources. The required resource, which is usually a file, is either available in its entirely from several sources, or distributed, with different sources for different sections of the file.
Stream Torrent uses P2P networks to distribute live video feeds. The system uses the terminology and methods of "BitTorrent" which is a file sharing protocol. In BitTorrent, a "torrent" is a file available for download from several sources; a "torrent file" is a small file that instructs the torrent client where to find the holders of that file, and how many pieces the file is split into for the sake of transfer.
StreamTorrent relies on TV channels and other broadcasts being available from several different sources. If a TV programme arrives at one computer, then that transmission could be forwarded on to others. No one wants their home computer to become a server for a live stream of a TV station; however, they will not have to handle bulk traffic. P2P networks rely on many people connecting together. Each home computer only has to deliver a small part of all the data they receive to enable other to watch, virtually simultaneously.
The distinctive feature of StreamTorrent is that it handles live streams instead of the partial files that traditional torrent systems share. In this respect, it is close to Skype, which uses P2P architecture to connect phone calls and video chat. Media streaming programs have to be fast and lightweight. They have no time to check or process incoming data. They do not bother to request re-transmission for lost data, because by the time the loss is noticed, it is already too late to fit it into the context of other arriving packets. For this reason, P2P networks are a good method of transport for live feeds. They can offer lighter transport protocols and re-route around defective routers a lot faster than the traditional methods used in conventional data delivery.

Premier League side West Ham United have reportedly made an offer of €21 million for AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca with the Serie A side holding out for €26 million.
According to Sky Sport Italia, West Ham are ready to sign Bacca after the Colombian expressed a willingness to seek pastures new, providing he receives the €4m per season wages he earns at San Siro.
West Ham chairman David Sullivan confirmed earlier on Monday that his side were looking for "a £30m striker", and Bacca appears to fit the bill.
The attacker only joined Milan from Sevilla last summer for 30m and scored 20 goals in 42 appearances in 2015-16.

Replacing Noble and High-noble Alloys
• Titanium is one of the most bio-compatible metals available (proven for implants)
• 10 micron knife edge margin right off the machine
• No more metal casting problems - i.e. short margin, rocking, distortion, soldering, etc.
• Ideal CAD/CAM substitute for base metal & noble metal
• Single crowns to 16-unit bridges
• ADA placed Titanium between High-noble and Noble alloys in the revised classification because of its excellent biocompatibility
• Major insurance companies cover Titanium prosthetics at higher allowance than even noble metal
Titanium Advantages at a Glance
No more wax-up, no need to print wax copings
Scan, design and mill for all your coping & bridge frameworks, and save time & money from a streamlined digital work process.
No more bridge rocking or distortion
Combining the accuracy of the 3shape scanner with the ORIGIN direct precision metal cutting - bridge rocking, distortion and soldering are now things of the past.
Automated 40 titanium copings overnight
Start milling before you go home and 40 milled Ti copings will be ready for you the next morning. There are no breaks or vacation time for the machine.
10 micron dead-on margins
Whether the margin is feather or champer, what you will see on the screen is what you will get with dead-on 10 micron accuracy.
The Perfect Replacement for Noble or High-noble Metal
With gold price ever-increasing, Titanium can be a perfect replacement for noble or even hi-noble metal. The ADA Council on Scientific Affairs has recently classified titanium between noble and high-noble alloys. Because of this new classification, dentists may now charge insurance companies between noble and high-noble rates using ADA Code D2794.
Titanium Testimonial
"I can't believe they fit so accurately, consistently and beautifully. It was so easy to do all my work in Titanium because they fit so accurately and look great especially in the mouth.
"Titanium has become my favorite dental alloy with its crisp, clean margins and ability to be very thin with porcelain."
Michael Kudrna, CDT
New Vision Dental Lab
How B&D Dental Overcomes Past Titanium Difficulties
The two problems that have limited Titanium usage for crown and bridge frameworks are casting issues and porcelain effectiveness.
B&D Dental's robust ORIGIN milling unit provides the platform for creating precision milled titanium frameworks. Thereby eliminating the need for special casting units that attempt to reduce the likely-hood of over-heating the titanium during the casting process.
In addition, Triceram porcelain from B&D Dental creates a life-like aesthetic while requiring a firing temperature of less than 800º C. This is vitally important as Ceramic firing cannot exceed 800º C due to intensive chemical reactions which occur on titanium when this temperature is exceeded.
The ORIGIN milled precision titanium copings coupled with the vitality of Triceram porcelain and its unique characteristics for bonding provide the ultimate solution for strong, esthetic, and bio-compatible titanium substructures.
Titanium Advantages at a Glance
Titanium is low cost and price stable
Titanium is significantly less expensive than gold. Historically, titanium has not been subjected to the fluctuations in the highly volatile alloy market
Titanium is highly profitable
The ADA Council on Scientific Affairs has recently classified titanium between noble and high-noble alloys. Because of this new classification, dentists may now charge insurance companies between noble and high-noble rates using ADA Code D2794.
Titanium is the most bio-compatible metal available
Titanium does not release ions and does not trigger allergic reactions in the body. It has proven to be very effective in human medicine and dentistry.
Titanium is x-ray radiolucent
Titanium is X-Ray radiolucent allowing dentists to clearly see underneath the cemented crown without removing it in order to diagnose problems.
Titanium has low thermal conductivity
The patient can enjoy hot or cold food without experiencing dental pain. Titanium has a thermal conductivity of 15 times lower than gold, causing the patient to feel lower sensitivity to hot or cold.
Titanium is light
This proves more comfortable for the patient. Gold is four times heavier, which is noticeable in large bridge framework.
Titanium has a high strength, without being too hard or too soft
Titanium can withstand the tremendous forces generated during mastication.Titanium is easy to process in the dental laboratory.

Other side of love 25
Solomon ajayi. a tall man with a bent structure, in his late fifties walked into an office. He sank into an arm chair and he looked across the table at Dan's face.
"I like your secretary. She is too polite."
"That's because it is you." Dan replied. He adjusted his sleeves and he loosed the knot his tie had on his neck.
"How has work been."
"Fine. You should have allowed us to talk on phone."
"I thought about that too. But I have something I have to give you, today."
"You should have visited me in the evening." Solomon said.
Dan coughed as his phone buzzed, he waved Solomon and he picked up the call.
"How is your health…Fine…I will be coming home soon." Dan ended the call and he looked up at Solomon.
"What did you find out." Dan asked.
"He is not your dad." Solomon said drily. "Femi Badmus is not your father." Solomon repeated. Daniel's look said more about what was going around his mind. His face had gone hard all of a sudden.
"And, you were not adopted. Your mum had you before she got married to Femi."
"What have you noticed about the deaths. My ex and the woman who was killed that night in the hotel."
"Your mother is not involved in any of the murder. I am hundred percent sure."
"But that cant be possible." Dan intruded.
Solomon leaned forward he clasped his hands and he frowned. "Is there any thing you are not telling me."
"Not at all" Dan replied curtly. "But she…" Dan stammered.
"Well. Mr Daniel. You cant catch a killer with mere words. I am afraid your mother doesn't know about any of this. Well, about the land. She must have threatened to kill the woman."
"She did." Dan fired, giving Solomon an expressionless look.
"I will work on the deaths as soon as possible. Give me a week."
"Fine. How much do you need."
" Hundred thousand naira will do."
"You will get my alert tonight." Dan said drily. He pulled out his drawer and brought out an envelope. He slide it across the table. Solomon picked up the envelope and he slipped out of it three different pictures.
"I got it from my mum's drawer. I need to know who this guy truly is. I suspect him." Dan said as he leaned against on his chair.
Sam walked out of his company's gate and he waved down a cab. -Today is worst- Sam thought. He told the driver where he was heading and he had him paid before the journey began.
Sam crossed his hands against his chest as he thought about what he had caused Louis that day. A lot had happened so quick. He thought Louis would have been mad at him but she wasn't. Instead she begged him about the insult. What kind of girl is this. Sam thought.
Sam brought out his phone and he caught the driver's eyes looking at him through the front mirror. Sam ignored his eyes and he spoke into the phone noticing. "Do me a favour." Sam said into the phone, noticing sunny had picked up. "Think about every suspect and how we can pick up every of their conversation. Don't think about wiring offices. We would be missing a lot. Call me back when you have it worked out." Sam said then he ended the call.

Music tips
Recent music graduate, Eve Carpenter shares her top ten tips for surviving university.
Here are my top ten tips for surviving uni…
1. Be open minded! Make sure you go into everything with an open mind you may be surprised! City's music course has a huge range of ensembles and modules for you – pick something different, try something new. (I didn't like composition possibly because I found it difficult so lacked confidence with it but when I had to take it in first year I really enjoyed it and ended up doing it all the way through my degree!)
2. Get involved. City offers you a lot of music making opportunities. Join as many ensembles as you can – it all helps develop a great overall musicianship so even if you're not playing your main instrument it still helps loads. (You'll also have great fun, make friends and play at some cool events – in my first year we played Samba at the London Marathon)
3. Keep an eye on your expenses – don't spend all your money at the beginning of the term and run out as the term goes on, remember deadlines fall in the second half of a term so you don't need the added stress of money troubles whilst writing essays and revising for exams!
4. Save the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves! Okay so you're moving to London obviously rent isn't going to be cheap but be sensible and save money in the places it's easy to save in – for example make your lunch everyday, you don't need to spend £3 every weekday on that meal deal! – say you spend £3 on your lunch everyday, that's £15 a week….£60 a month…£720 a year! Okay maybe you won't be buying lunch every weekday of the year but think how much you could save by getting up 15 minutes earlier and make your own lunch!
5. Start essays and revision earlier than you think you should! Okay I know this is a boring one and it's probably one we all tell ourselves anyway but in all seriousness it's important. Maybe you could get away with doing an essay the night before the deadline for A-levels but I would advise STRONGLY against that at uni!! You will need to spend lots of time reading up and researching your topic thoroughly to have lots of great references for a good essay. Don't submit several papers before realising the importance of good researching and planning for your essays. As for exam revision – after a lecture, write up your notes neatly into something that you can easily revise from in the future. Doing it a second time after learning it will help when you come back to it later and it stops you from looking at your scribbled notes later on and realising you can't read your own handwriting! If you're a performer don't leave your practice late, do it as you go along – regular practice really does make perfect! I know all this because I didn't follow my own advice in the beginning but once I started to do it it made a huge difference. I actually don't know how I would have met my deadlines if I hadn't begun starting sooner than I thought I needed to (the time flew).
6. Uni work! You don't need to go get a part time job in a supermarket. There are loads of opportunities for work right at uni! Also when you hit that crazy deadline patch if you're picking up uni work you can be more flexible, taking on as much or as little as you want unlike jobs with weekly shifts that are tricky to rearrange or get cover for and can give you a lot of extra stress. City has loads of work opportunities –look out for student ambassador work at the Fresher's Fair – it's great pay, great for your CV and you may even make some friends along the way (I've loved being an ambassador)!
You can also find out about lots of part time/one off job opportunities if you sign up to unitemps - just ask at the careers office and they'll give you all the info you need to know.
7. Student discount! Make the most of it while you have it!! Loads of shops offer student discount especially if you sign up for an NUS card. Make sure you sign up for a student oyster card if you're travelling around London a lot as it can work out cheaper to buy a weekly or monthly travel card as you can get up to a third off with an 18+ oyster card. In general keep an eye out for any student discount, and remember if your buying sheet music plenty of music shops give student discount – I didn't realise this until my second year!
8. Work experience! Make the most of any work experience type opportunities that come along – uni isn't just about getting a degree. It's also all the opportunities that not only give you things to write about on your CV but will also give you great transferable skills.
9. Eat healthy! It may be cheap and tempting to buy that 24 multipack bag of Walkers but 1- it won't fill you up and 2- your health won't thank you! If you don't eat properly and you're like me your blood sugar will be all over the place resulting in some not so pleasant mood swings – which won't help you or your flat mates! So try and eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and try and keep eating fruit and veg, it'll stop you feeling too stodgy and sluggish.
– check out this site – http://www.studential.com/university/student-cooking. It's got tips on budgeting, healthy eating and recipes.
10. Enjoy yourself! Above all make sure you really enjoy your time at uni because it's great! It goes by so quickly. I can't believe how fast my 3 years have flown by. It's your chance to make loads of new friends who you can make great memories with because even though it sounds cheesy at the end of the day that's going to be the best thing to take away from your time at uni!

Last night was my birthday night out with the girls, so this Sunday Snip comes to you slightly bleary eyed. It's not my birthday till Tuesday, but I tend to make it a week long celebration. Worse than the Queen! Don't think she's got moves like this though...
This weeks handy hint comes fresh from the pages of More! Magazine. I am part of the Beauty Hot 100 and gave the More! readers some handy hints when it comes to hair. Click the pictures to zoom. Nice to say I've been in More! and not for the 'position of the fortnight' as some rude boys asked.
I know it's not a hair product, but I really have to mention something that has helped change my skin for the better lately. I've been suffering from hormonal break outs, and some nasty spots. My skin just wasn't itself. I picked up this Tesco Cucumber Facial Scrub and what a difference it's made! And the best bit, it's only 80p! Not even a £1!! Bargain. Have any of you tried supermarket brands for your beauty regime?
Celeb Hair of the Week
Kelly Rowland has definitely "put it down" lately when it comes to hair. It just goes to show, if you haven't got it naturally, wearing wigs, weaves and extensions can boost your look. Do you boost your natural hair by using hairpieces?
Right, time for paella and some corn on the cob. Have a great evening you lovely lot.

From John Adams to Abigail Smith Adams, 12 November 1798
Flaggs at Weston Nov. 12. 1798
My Dearest Friend
We Stopped at the Governors to take Leave and he told Us the News of last night, which has regaled Us on the Road. We watered at Watertown and reached this Inn at half after one. We hope to reach Williams's at Marlborough, and Sleep there this night. I strive to divert the melancholly thoughts of our Seperation, and pray you to do the Same. Mrs Smith I hope will keep Up her Spirits and the Sprightly charming Caroline will be a cordial to you both. William is very good attentive and obliging and sister may make herself easy on his Account. He will do very well. I pray God to bless you all and restore you to your full strength and Spirits. But you must ride a little every day.
I am your ever affectionate
I wish Mr Porter to cart the Manure from the yard up the Hill, for planting next Spring, as soon as possible.

I was vaguely aware of Ms Elson during her time as a supermodel and I thought she was interesting. Fare play to you love, doing us gingers proud. But it was when she became Mrs Jack White (now ex) that I suddenly began to stand up and take notice of this English rose.
Through this union we suddenly saw a different level to Karen, from her initial appearance in the White Stripes 'Blue Orchid' music video and her eventual evolution as a singer/songwriter in her own rite. Naysayers came down on Karen's debut album 'The Ghost who Walks' complaining that it had her then husbands finger prints all over it. If true, who cares, you cannot deny the album's quality. These 12 tracks drip with, longing, lust and a raw sexuality not heard since Isobel Campbell decided to team with Mark Lanegan.
I greatly anticipate the follow up and seeing how Jack is now out of the picture we will know for sure whether or not the album was all his orchestrating. That said you cannot deny the voice, it's her dulcet tone that makes the listen an altogether more sexy affair and this is something Jack could not have done with his vocal. More please, more.

Ok, so I didn't have high hopes for this show, but I loved it. This show has also made me a little obsessed with TaecYeon and I'm going to blame his scar, as I am a sucker for scars.
This drama follows Bong Pal (TaecYeon), a man who can see ghosts, living his life as a college student. However, he meets Hyun Ji (Kim So Hyun), a ghost who has no memories of her death. After an accidental kiss, Hyun Ji regains a snippet of her memories. This causes her to stick to Bong Pal in hopes to regain her memories. Bong Pal's deal is that she helps him in exorcising ghosts while she figures out to cross over.
I will say that there could not have been better chemistry between the main cast and though TaecYeon got shit because of their age difference, I loved the romance between the 2 leads. Also, I was a little in awe of the makeup artist in this show. They did a great job on all of the ghosts.
Overall, if you like ghosts and you don't mind a few jump scares, then this is a show for you.
