Kashmira Lad
Mar 23, 2019
Quick and easy to prepare and also refreshing on a hot summer day, frozen lemonade remains to be one of the most popular drinks one can't ever get enough of! Here are some easy recipes to make this drink all the more interesting.

Blend well so that the ice gets crushed and the mixture turns into a thick slush.
Pour into tall glasses and use a slice of lemon as garnish.
The rum can be poured on top of this or can even be added to the blender (before the water is added). However, this depends upon your preference.

Talentia Software receives prestigious accolade at the 2013 Franco-British Business Awards ceremony in Paris
Talentia Software, a leading international supplier of finance and HR software solutions, is celebrating after winning the SME/Entrepreneur Award at the 2013 Franco-British Business Awards. The evening recognised improving bilateral trade and economic links between Great Britain and France, and the achievements of companies operating in both countries.
The award is given annually to a British or French SME that exports its products and services to France or Great Britain, and that has successfully established one or more subsidiaries in either country for a minimum of two years. Talentia Software received the award on 26th November 2013 under the patronage of H.E. Sir Peter Ricketts, British Ambassador to France and H.E. Mr Bernard Ernie, French Ambassador to the UK.
Co-organised by the French Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain (FCCGB) and the Franco-British Chamber of Commerce & Industry in France (FBCCI), the awards have been recognising and rewarding success in cross-border trade and investments between France and Great Britain since 2000.
The judges invited Talentia Software's executive team to attend following a successful presentation made by the global company to the Franco-British Chamber of Commerce, which outlined Talentia Software's international growth and strong links with the UK.
"We felt that Talentia Software was deserving of this award due to the company's clear demonstration of its commitment to strategic cooperation between the UK and France," stated Catherine Le Yaouanc, General Manager of the Franco-British Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
Accepting the award, Viviane Chaine-Ribeiro, CEO of Talentia Software, said, "This award recognises the values that we proudly hold and implement as a business: a strategic plan that gives us a very clear idea of our future direction; shareholders and partners who believe in our work; and closely knit teams of talented individuals at all levels of the company."
Talentia Software was formed following the acquisition by leading financial management software supplier, Lefebvre Software, of Cezanne Software Holding Ltd, an established international HR and talent management software supplier, in February 2013. The two companies subsequently rebranded in April 2013 to better reflect Talentia Software's new range of HR and finance solutions and its unified international status.
"Talentia Software is reaching new heights thanks to the UK and France joining forces, so we are delighted to receive this honour and to have been recognised by this esteemed panel of judges," states Julie Windsor, UK Managing Director of Talentia Software. "This award win is the icing on the cake for what has been a tremendous year of growth for the company. As a business we are driven by progress, and so are pleased to receive this accolade in recognition of our accomplishments on both sides of the Channel."
As an international developer and provider of corporate software solutions, Talentia Software specialises in the management of Financial Performance (accounting, consolidation, reporting and budgeting) and of Human Capital Management (payroll and HR) solutions, aimed at improving and simplifying the process for optimal management of personnel, helping organisations better manage their most important asset, their people.

Re legal shenanigans latest, the Gard Freq guys got you covered:
CP is on pre-sale now, but still 10 months before you can download and install it.That looks insane. I also couldn't help notice how much better CP2077's vibe was compared with the stale hubs in SC. It also made me wonder how 'Next Era' is going to look for ED, because FD has their work cut out for them too if they want to tackle atmos. The current ice planets look incredibly dated...
Hoooooooooooooooo boy.Re legal shenanigans latest, the Gard Freq guys got you covered:

As for the rest about IP theft, I am not in the least bit surprised and shows his moral compass is completely lacking and therefore primed to take advantage of the gullible.
Oh, I don't know. Have you seen The Core?Unprecedented zero G space bulldozers, to non Newtonian fluid mechanics driven space swimming pools, toilets, and sinks. CR may be a horrifically flawed Homo Sapiens. But you have to admit he has no peer where the school of hand wavium physics are concerned.

Re: coming out swinging;
And, regarding the bond;While CIG may yearn to stop using the CryEngine in order to avoid the requirements of the GLA, it did not do so. In fact, CIG's bond motion is inextricably entwined with its contention that it "switched" from the CryEngine to the Lumberyard Engine. Yet, CIG's own nuanced statements indicate that CIG did not actually replace the CryEngine code embedded in the game with the Lumberyard Engine code. Instead, the "switch" suggested by CIG was nothing more than CIG electing to enter anew license agreement with Amazon whereby CIG apparently licensed the CryEngine—for a second time.
CIG's apparent decision to take a second license does not render its agreement with Crytek null and void. At least as long as CIG is using the CryEngine code, it is bound by the terms of the GLA whether it calls the code the CryEngine or the Lumberyard Engine. This thread that underlies many of CIG's arguments, once pulled, will unravel CIG's premature claims of victory and will lead to Crytek meeting many if not all of its objectives in this litigation.
[...]California Code of Civil Procedure § 1030provides that a defendant may move to require the plaintiff to post a bond where "the plaintiff resides out of the state or is a foreign corporation and [] there is a reasonable possibility that the moving defendant will obtain judgment in the action or special proceeding." Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 1030. Here, CIG posits that it will be entitled, under paragraph 10.8 of the GLA,to an award (i.e., judgment) of attorneys' fees and costs. Paragraph 10.8 limits such awards only to a prevailing party. CIG suggests that if it prevails on some claims or if Crytek is not awarded a large monetary award, then CIG is a prevailing party. This is not how a prevailing party is defined in cases such as this, and CIG has done virtually none of the analysis that would be required to show even a reasonable possibility of who willbe a prevailing party in this action, if anyone.
That last line is actually quite telling, but part of the 'repair of injuries' attempt that's intended to sway the court in making it an honest mistake that they didn't actually do it before the lawsuit. This is actually quite weak, IMO.CIG provides none of this analysis. It has not considered or discussed the actual relief sought by Crytek. It has not even attempted to identify or discuss Crytek's litigation objectives and Crytek's chances of achieving those objectives.It has not considered the impact of other relevant facts, such as the fact that Crytek has already secured CIG's delivery of its bug fixes as a result of this lawsuit.
(Their emphasis)As an initial matter, there appears to be a significant disconnect between the declaration evidence CIG submitted in support of its motion, and the arguments made in the motion itself. As CIG acknowledges, it developed Star Citizen and Squadron 42 using Crytek's CryEngine video game development platform. Dkt. 57-2 (Freyermuth Declaration), at ¶ 7-8. It did so under the terms of the GLA dated November 20, 2012. Id. On April 30, 2016, CIG obtained another license to the CryEngine embedded in Star Citizen from Amazon in addition to rights to an Amazon game engine known as Lumberyard.
Id.at 9.In its brief, CIG describes taking this second license as a"switch" to the Lumberyard engine. Dkt. 57-1, at 3. CIG further argues in its brief that "Crytek's code will no longer be in use." Id. at 13.In contrast, Mr. Freyermuth's actual declaration statements do not say any such thing: "Amazon granted CIG a license to use in Star Citizen and Squadron 42 not only Lumberyard, but also the version of CryEngine that was then embedded in the games' source code. Following execution of the Amazon license, CIG began developing the games under the Amazon license. When CIG releases Squadron 42 to the public, the game engine source code will be licensed under this Amazon agreement, not the GLA." Dkt. 57-2, at ¶ 9
This actually feels like a really weak point to me, unless they have actual code, the submitted bug fixes reference CryEngine code and are dated post-GLA, or they can make the determination between Lumberyard and CryEngine. This could actually force Amazon into the fight, but only in the Amicus Curae or letter format clarifying the difference between CryEngine and Lumberyard according to the contract Amazon signed.Mr.Freyermuth did not testify that the CryEngine code already embedded in Star Citizen and Squadron 42 was removed from those games, and, on information and belief, to do so would be a technical impossibility absent starting development over from scratch. Rather, Mr. Freyermuth is suggesting that CIG "switched" licenses from the GLA to the Amazon license.Two points follow from this. First, CIG's arguments in its brief that "Crytek's code will no longer be in use" appear to either be inaccurate or avery loose characterization of the facts. Second, while CIG is no doubt free to take a second license to the CryEngine from Amazon, CIG cannot unilaterally revoke the GLA by doing so. So long as the CryEngine remains embedded in CIG's games, CIG must abide by the GLA and is currently in breach of multiple terms of the GLA.
Source code and the source code history would be the holy grail here.
This actually made me laugh. it's a bold strategy based on the lack of termination clause in the GLA.Because CIG remains bound by the GLA
Under this, they're going after;
- 'Credits'
- 'Bug Fixes'
This is actually solid, given that the bug fixes have apparently been supplied on presentation of the lawsuit. CIG have now demonstrated that they had them, and also curiously don't explain why they hadn't handed them over before.CIG does not explain how the term "annually" does not constitute a fixed time. Nor do the cases relied on by CIG suggest that the requirement for annual delivery is not "fixed." Indeed, there are only two possible, reasonable understandings of "annually" under the GLA: once every year on the anniversary of the GLA's execution or December 31 of every year. CIG's attempts to impose a duty on Crytek,who was not in a position to know when CIG implemented bug fixes,to request bug fixes is facially absurd. If CIG implemented bug fixes, it was required to provide them annually.
(I'm 100% certain that Ortwin telegraphed their feeling in terms that they believed that CryTek would have gone bust and released them from obligations to that Company. 110% sure, even, because it's the main thrust of their opposing argument)
* Bugsmashers
[...]At the outset, CIG does not dispute that it published portions of Crytek's confidential CryEngine source code without permission. Instead, CIG sets forth a number of reasons why its publishing of the CryEngine code in breach of the GLA should be excused.
This is all red meat and makes Skaddens look a bit weak.CIG's "breach is acceptable as long as Crytek can't prove monetary harm" attitude is cavalier and disturbing.
* Squadron 42
quote:CIG's primary argument—that there can be no breach until Squadron 42 is released—lacks merit.
* FacewareCIG had no right to use CryEngine in development of a stand-alone game such as Squadron 42. Because that development has already occurred and continues to occur, CIG is wrong that the "time for performance" has not yet arrived. Dkt. 57-1 at 12.CIG premises its argument on the description of the Game provided in Exhibit 2 of the GLA. In relevant part, that description provides:For the avoidance of doubt, the Game does not include any content being sold and marketed separately,and not being accessed through the Star Citizen Game client, e.g. a fleet battle RTS sold and marketed as a separate,standalone PC game that does not interact with the main Star Citizen game (as opposed to an add-on / DLC to the Game).
Now this is interesting, because it's one of the first hints that they might have some details from someone else, or they're bluffing hard.CIG asserts Crytek's information with respect to this claim is simply wrong. While Crytek has good reason to believe this disclosure occurred, it would be happy to learn it is wrong. Discovery will quickly resolve the question. Crytek's objective here, as with the BugSmasher claim,is simply to insure that CIG has not and does not wrongfully disclose the CryEngine source code for its own benefit.
They have a point.In addition, CIG has requested an excessive bond in the amount of $2,193,298.45 to secure CIG's putative award of costs and attorneys' fees. Here CIG asserts that the claims are unusually complex while simultaneously asserting that Crytek's remaining claims are "meritless" and "only a rump set of quibbles."
The rest of the document points out that 'expert witness fees' are not covered under 1033.5, they appear to have pulled their number out of their because they've barely started discovery, and some of the points to be answered - like exposing code in Bugsmashers - are fairly cut and dried.
Eric Buresh has revived my interest in the case because he's hit on some neat aspects to this.
I almost feel sorry for Sean Tracy.Hello,

It's on PC. The whole announcement revolves around how Game Pass is coming to PC as an extension of the existing XBox store integration — a lot of what they presented was there to give the game pass a wide lineup on launch.
The problem is there is no definition of what constitutes a termination or a breach of contract in the GLA. Both parties here are guilty of having signed off that weak agreement that opens the door to everything... CT will have to prove actual damages just to start having a leg to stand on, that's why CiG can afford to be that cavalier at the moment.This is all red meat and makes Skaddens look a bit weak.CIG's "breach is acceptable as long as Crytek can't prove monetary harm" attitude is cavalier and disturbing.
Agreed. They do have a lot of lore, but to me it seems somewhat derivative (although I am biased). What is unique about SC's universe? It feels like a weird fusion of Star Trek, Star Wars, a bunch of other scifi universes (Bladerunner?) and 21st century capitalism/consumerism.Its not really my thing, but SQ42 and SC have insane amount of lore.
That's far beyond Robert's imagination. Wing Commander (the movie) is the best he can do.It's not going to be the whole thing without robots finding loopholes in the three laws, though.
You just sounded like Crobber and his whales who haven't played many games then. There are plenty of game franchises out there with deep lore by now.I don't expect video games to attain a similar level of world building (although Troika/Black Isle games come close)
In a way its hard not to be derivative in some way these days, with so much sci-fi out there. Try thinking of some sort of sci-fi setting/feature that hasn't already been done... its not easy.Agreed. They do have a lot of lore, but to me it seems somewhat derivative (although I am biased).
Yep. That's why CIG's most important asset is Ortwin.The problem is there is no definition of what constitutes a termination or a breach of contract in the GLA.

Well, 3.5.1 seems to be mainly a lot of minor bugfixes so if there is any new things and improvements it will most likely not show up until 3.6Well I played a bit 3.5.1 patch.....and seems pretty meh,all in all didn't notice ANY significant changes or improvements worth to mention except that cash-grab do a paint-job thing......oh yeah stability seems worst then before because I experience few crashes but then again that could be also server issue and lame netcode as usual when servers get flooded and nothing to do particularly with this latest patch.....

April 11, 2018, 11:31 pmEric BledsoePG, Milwaukee Bucks
Eric Bledsoe played just 11 minutes in Wednesday's game and finished with 6 points, three assists and a steal.
Bledsoe had a special fantasy season as a top-35 player in 9-category formats while appearing in his highest game count since 2014-15 (74 games). The fact that he didn't suffer a big injury as he has in years past was the ticket to his success as well as his return to one of the best thieves in the league (2.0 per game). In this role he should be locked into top-50 value in 2019 for a Bucks team that really should be better with this core in place.
Fantasy News
December 14, 2019, 10:03 amRajon RondoPG, Los Angeles Lakers
Rajon Rondo (left hamstring strain) returned to action on Friday after a two-game absence with no points, two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 24 minutes.
Rondo missed all five field goal attempts and should see better days. His playing time and game availability should remain inconsistent all year but outside of all that, he is putting up top-150 standard league per-game value with 7.9 points, 5.7 assists, 1.4 triples and 1.0 steals so he can provide some value if you need a spot start or some assists in your lineup.
December 14, 2019, 9:56 amGoga BitadzeC, Indiana Pacers
The Pacers assigned Goga Bitadze and Alize Johnson to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants on Saturday.
They will be in uniform and eligible to play. This is Bitadze's first stint with the G League squad, reminding all of us of just how accelerated his development has been as a "raw" rookie this season. Goga had a nice string of four-block games earlier this season, but he and Johnson are well off the fantasy radar with the Pacers nearing full health.

December 14, 2019, 9:51 amKeita Bates-DiopSF, Minnesota Timberwolves
Keita Bates-Diop (illness) played 11 minutes and compiled no stats on Friday after missing one game.
Diop missed his only shot on the night as he may have had some lingering illness effects. The 2018 second round pick is averaging 7.2 points and 1.3 triples in 18.5 minutes with a 51.5 field goal percentage on the season so he should see better days ahead is off the standard league radar.
December 14, 2019, 9:46 amMalik MonkSG, Charlotte Hornets
Malik Monk (right finger discomfort) played nine minutes in his return to action after a one-game absence.
This was season-low for Monk who is averaging 20.0 minutes on the season. With Nicholas Batum out, Terry Rozier, Davonte Graham and P.J. Washington all played heavy minutes. Cody Martin played 15 minutes off the bench and may have jumped Monk in the rotation for now.
December 14, 2019, 1:48 amTerance MannPG, Los Angeles Clippers
Terrence Mann replaced the injured Patrick Beverley in the starting lineup on Friday and added three assists, two rebounds and a block.
There was a decent opportunity for some sneaky DFS value here but Mann fell flat on his face. Don't consider Mann a fantasy option, especially when Beverley returns.
December 14, 2019, 12:55 amKawhi LeonardSF, Los Angeles Clippers
Kawhi Leonard accumulated 42 points (10-for-24 shooting, 19-for-19 free throws), 11 rebounds, three triples and two assists as the Clippers defeated the Wolves 124-117.
Leonard was relentlessly attacking the defense in this one and was rewarded with 19 free throw attempts which ties his career-high. It's odd to see a Leonard line with no defensive counters, but that's nitpicking what was an amazing line. The only thing holding Leonard back is load management.
December 14, 2019, 12:51 amPaul GeorgeSF, Los Angeles Clippers
Paul George caught fire on Friday, finishing with 46 points (17-for-31 shooting), seven assists, six threes, five rebounds and two steals.
Nobody could stop George or Kawhi Leonard in this one, as the two both scored over 40 points for the first time this season. Something tells me this won't be the last time. The Clippers are starting to hit their stride, despite missing several contributors to injury. Look out.
December 14, 2019, 12:50 amMontrezl HarrellPF, Los Angeles Clippers
Montrezl Harrell did what he does on Friday, chipping in 18 points (7-for-13 shooting) and four rebounds in 32 minutes off the bench.
Harrell is a leading candidate for the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award because he comes off the bench and gets buckets. He did that again tonight, though with fewer rebounds than normal.
December 14, 2019, 12:48 amRodney McGruderSG, Los Angeles Clippers
Rodney McGruder returned to the floor in Friday's victory over the Wolves, finishing with three rebounds.
It wasn't one to write home about for McGruder, but just getting back on the floor after a hamstring injury kept him out a few weeks is a good sign. The Clippers are dealing with a lot of injuries right now, so if he can get back up to speed quickly there could be some extra minutes for him.
December 14, 2019, 12:46 amJulius RandlePF, New York Knicks
Julius Randle finished Friday's 103-101 victory over the Kings with 26 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three triples.
It is starting to feel like Randle isn't even trying to record defensive numbers these days. You take the good scoring and rebounding numbers, but his upside remains capped as long as he puts up zeroes on the defensive side.

On one of my late night Pinterest searches, I came across what is called a capsule wardrobe.
The idea here is to create a wardrobe containing basic pieces that can be mixed and matched together to create outfits that capture your style.
Upon further investigation, I found a subcategory of capsule wardrobes called the French Minimalist Capsule wardrobe. This style of closet is based on finding quality basics with neutral colors and then buying a maximum of five seasonal pieces each season.
In France, it is hard to find flats with a lot of closet space, so French women often wear classic pieces and don't have a huge selection. However, this is not only ideal for saving space, but for saving time. Studies show that women only wear about 20% of what is in their closet at any given time. By condensing what you own, and having a selection of clothes that can be thrown together and still look chic will also save you time getting dressed in the morning.
Challenge Rules:
Here are the general rules to the French Minimalist Challenge that I will follow when creating my wardrobe:
- Underwear and bras do not count
- Accessories do not count
- You may buy up to 5 seasonal pieces to add to your basics
Here is a list of basics that I will be using to guide my wardrobe: (basics seem to vary from closet to closet, so these are the ones I think will complement my style best)
SO since I literally travel and move back and forth internationally so often, having a condensed closet with options is seriously important to me. Last time I moved, I paid to take 3 suitcases of clothes with me, and I didn't even wear most of it.
General Goals:
My goals with creating a French Minimalist Capsule Wardrobe are:
- Have a closet with pieces I love and would wear anytime
- Condense what I own, but still feel like I look chic and have options
- Get rid of clothes that I am hording with no good reason to (this one is going to be particularly hard for me)
- Have a closet full of clothes that I feel confident in
It is going to be very hard for me to keep to the basics list and stay within the allotted amount of items. I am a serious shopahollic and I love getting new pieces. So restricting myself to these pieces is going to be my main challenge.
My other challenge is going to be in the cleaning stage. I get very attached to my clothing, even if I haven't worn it in years. So I will need to adopt a cut throat attitude towards my closet. I just need to be reminded that purging, while maybe painful, will help me to reduce my closet and will make moving easier.
My Plan:
I have set a budget to rebuild by wardrobe at 1000 dollars. And I have built a colour palate to guide my wardrobe:

The coolant is leaking onto the engine and causing smoke to come out from under the hood.
Cooling system leaks will only get worse over time. Please note the cooling system should never be opened or checked with the engine hot or while the system is pressurized or serious injury could occur. If the leak source is not easily identified then a cooling system pressure test should be completed to locate the source of the leak. Once the leak is repaired another pressure test should be performed to ensure the system is fixed has no additional leaks. Common places where leaks occurs are at hoses, plastic tanks, sealing connections where components are bolted together such as the water pump or thermostat housing. You may want to enlist the help of a mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will have the equipment and expertise to repair the cooling system issue.

Central PA's LGBT News Source
Jacksonville Stedfast Baptist Pastor Adam Fannin is garnering attention following his comments allegedly made in a video posted to the internet in which he tells people how to avoid "flaming Foo-Foo Fruit Loop" waiters.
"If I ever go to a restaurant and sit down and here comes this flaming foo-foo fruit loop – I'm just like, oh great. I'm here to have a date night, enjoy some time with my wife and because of the lisps, I can't even, you know," Fannin is shown to be saying in the the video.
"My recommendation – if you don't just get up and leave – my recommendation is just don't order anything. You sit there patiently and look around and you will find a lady that looks like a mom, that looks like a very diligent worker. You will find somebody that you notice that's busy, that's doing stuff. You say, 'Yeah, that's the one right there!' You walk up to them and you say, 'Hey, what's your name? Have we had you before? Can we get you over here?' I guarantee you it always works. That's how you avoid a gay waiter."

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Avaya (Santa Clara, CA (US)) in January 2012.
Got in touch via recruiter. Pretty straight forward interview. Took about 2 days between 5-6 people. Questions were easy. Didn't get the job since i was told that there were looking for someone with more experience.

Had a phone interview with the hiring manager first telling me about all the groups that were looking to hire, what they do. This was an interview to see where I would fit with my skills and my preferences and which groups I would be interested in. Then after the phone interview, had on-site interview for the entire day where I met up with the individual groups that were mentioned over the phone and talked to them in depth about what they do, my work/project experience, and any questions about the group I had. Again, to see if I was a fit for their group and if their group was a fit for me.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week. I interviewed at Avaya (Westminster, CO (US)) in March 2011.
I gave my resume to the recruiter at my university's career fair and chatted for a bit. He scheduled an interview for the following morning. The interview went well. He told me about the positions available at Avaya and asked what my interests were in a position. A few days later, I received a call that they would like to fly me down for an on-site interview as soon as possible. I accepted and scheduled for the following Monday.
The on-site interview consisted of a full day of 6-8 interviews with various engineers and managers and included a break for lunch. Everyone was very nice and knowledgeable. By the end of the day, my recruiter came back to tell me that they would be sending me an offer by the end of the week. They wanted to know in which department I would like to work. I felt very valued and desired.
Within a week, I received their offer (and it was very nice). I accepted and have no regrets!

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Avaya (Thornton, CO (US)) in May 2014.
I had a phone interview with a manager + one of the team members. I was mostly asked behavioral questions about my past experience and my interests. Then, I was called in to the on-site interview. I was given a tour of the building and got taken out to lunch with the manager and two of the team members. After lunch, I had 3 technical interviews of 45 minutes each where I was asked to describe my past school/work projects and the kind of technology I used. Each interviewer wanted to see how I would fit in the team based on my interests and skills. After a few days, I got a call and an email saying i was accepted.

All day yesterday I made use of the beautiful weather outside and spent the whole Saturday cleaning the inside of our house. While I was cleaning I stumbled upon a couple of great cards I ordered many years ago from despair.com. It's always been one of my favorite pessimistic yet true statements. Take a look:
Now let me tell you how this is relevant.
As you, I'm sure, are already aware, I wrote a book, and have been trying to give it away. I made up a fun contest, I promoted the contest, I had friends help pass the word around, I submitted the contest to an online directory of contests, and put some serious effort into making it a fun contest to enter.
Unfortunately, my journey of a thousand miles in trying to give my book away ended very, very, OK, somewhat badly. With ten books to give away, I only had eight people submit applications. So, the good news is, if you entered my contest, you won. Your prize will arrive in the mail in the next two weeks or so (unless you live close enough and I can find time soon to hand deliver it to you). Congratulations, and please accept my deepest gratitude for entering my obviously pitiful contest.
I still plan on cleaning up the book (as it is currently only an advanced version that will receive some serious edits before being published again), so if you catch any errors as you read it, please note them in an email to me. Also, I love hearing your general ideas, thoughts and opinions about the book, so please share. Eventually the book will be re-released and it will then be better than ever.
Thank you again if you participated in this (or the first) contest.
Also, and lastly, I don't mean this post as a way of extracting pity from you. The fact is, some journeys really do just end badly, and that's OK. I'm not upset, I'll be fine, etc. In fact, I'm laughing about my sad attempt at holding a contest. And in ten years, I'll laugh even more about it while I roll around in my golden swimming pool full of cash.

A central methodological issue in language typology is sampling – how to choose a representative set of languages for a typological investigation. Most proposed typological sampling methods are a priori in the sense that they are based on assumed, rather than observed, effects of biasing factors – such as genealogical and areal proximity.The advent of the World Atlas of Language Structures (WALS) creates for the first time a chance to attempt a posteriori sampling. The basic idea is to create a sample by
removing from the set of available languages one member of each pair of languages whose typological distance – as defined in terms of the features in WALS – does not reach a predefined threshold. In
this way, a sample of 101 languages was chosen from an initial set of the 222 languages that are best represented in WALS.The number of languages from different macroareas in this sample can be taken as an indication of the internal diversity of the area in question.Two issues are discussed in some detail: (i) the high diversity of the indigenous languages of the Americas and the tendency for these to be underrepresented by previous sampling methods; (ii) the extreme areal convergence of Mainland South East Asian languages. It is concluded that areal factors cannot be neglected in typological sampling, and that it must be questioned whether the creation of elaborate sampling algorithms makes sense.
Some results of earlier work on animacy by Kari Fraurud and the author are reviewed, demonstrating the close relationship between (i) the role of animacy as a determinant of grammatical rules and the choice between types of referential expressions, and (ii) statistical regularities in discourse. The idea that animacy is an ontological category is developed further. In the final section, the phylogenetic basis of the notions behind animacy and egophoricity is discussed. It is argued that the grammatical animacy hierarchy corresponds to a three-step cognitive scale: the self is the model for other animate individuals, which are in their turn models for inanimate objects when understood as individual 'things'.
This rather programmatic paper discusses the use of parallel corpora in the typological study of grammatical categories. In the author's earlier work, tense-aspect categories were studied by means of a translational questionnaire, and "cross-linguistic gram-types" were identified through their distribution in the questionnaire. It is proposed that a similar methodology could be applied to multilingual parallel corpora. The possibility of identifying grammatical markers by word-alignment methods is demonstrated with examples from Bible texts.
The paper discusses the relationship between cross-linguistic differences in grammatical resources and linguistic complexity. It is claimed that Sirionó (Tupí-Guaraní) lacks syntactic coordination as in English John and Mary are asleep. Instead, Sirionó employs a number of different strategies – the 'with' strategy, the list strategy, and the 'also' strategy – to make up for this. It is argued that one or more of these strategies may serve as a diachronic source of syntactic coordination. The development of syntactic coordination in a language exemplifies condensation processes in grammaticalization and increases complexity in the sense that a certain type of complex syntactic structure is introduced, and makes it possible to express in one syntactic unit what previously needed two or more.
This book looks at some phenomena within the grammar of the noun phrase in a group of traditional North Germanic varieties mainly spoken in Sweden and Finland, usually seen as Swedish dialects, although the differences between them and Standard Swedish are often larger than between the latter and the other standard Mainland Scandinavian languages. In addition to being conservative in many respects – e.g. in preserving nominal cases and subject-verb agreement – these varieties also display many innovative features. These include extended uses of definite articles, incorporation of attributive adjectives, and a variety of possessive constructions. Although considerable attention has been given to these phenomena in earlier literature, this book is the first to put them in the perspective of typology and grammaticalization processes. It also looks for a plausible account of the historical origin of the changes involved, arguing that many of them spread from central Sweden, where they were later reverted due to the influence from prestige varieties coming from southern Scandinavia.
Most treatments of temporal semantics start out from the conception of time as a line stretching from the past into the future, which is then populated with eventualities or situations. This paper explores how time can be seen as emerging from the construction of representations of reality in which the basic building blocks are static—i.e., timeless—representations, which are connected to each other by events that are transitions between them and that create an ordering which can be understood as temporal. This connects to von Wright's "logic of change" and the "hybrid semantics" suggested by Herweg and Löbner. In this context, telicity is seen as the capacity of events, or of the predicates that express them, to "create time" in the sense of defining a before and an after. The basic elements of the model are global states, which are timeless taken in isolation but are connected by transition events, which transform one global state into another and thereby define the temporal relationships between them. Transition events, corresponding to Vendlerian achievements, represent simple changes which are then the basis for all other constructs in the model, most notably delimited states, Vendlerian activities (atelic dynamic eventualities), and accomplishments (telic non-punctual eventualities), but also time points and intervals. Transition events are further instrumental in constructing narrative structures and are responsible for narrative progression.
The notion of polysynthesis has been linked up with that of complexity from the very start. A discussion of the relationship between these two concepts is thus highly motivated, also in view of the recent increased interest in questions relating to complexity among linguists. The chapter discusses different ways of understanding and measuring complexity and how these can be applied to polysynthetic languages. Other topics treated in the chapter are how complexity develops over time in polysynthetic languages, the question of to what extent the notions of maturation and non-linearity as defined in Dahl (2004) are relevant to the synchrony and diachrony of polysynthesis, and how the complexity of constructions in polysynthetic languages compares to functionally equivalent constructions elsewhere.
The work presented in this paper can be seen as a continuation of my earlier attempts at using quantitative methods to compare tense-aspect categories across languages using translation questionnaire data using a different kind of data - a parallel corpus of Bible translations. Here I report on a comparison of the distribution of grams labeled perfect in traditional descriptions. The results confirm earlier claims that these grams do share a core of prototypical uses and also an anti-prototype, that is, a set of uses that are left untouched until the final end of the grammaticalization process by which perfects expand into general pasts. In the grey zone between the prototype and the anti-prototype, versions in one and the same language tend to show great variation. But it is also possible to identify specific areas of cross-linguistic variation even among the more conservative perfect grams.
This article discusses questions arising in connection with Martin Haspelmath's proposal to distinguish between "descriptive categories" at the language-specific level and "comparative concepts" at the crosslinguistic level, where the latter cannot be seen as either crosslinguistic categories or category types (Haspelmath 2010). It is argued that comparative concepts may be better subsumed under the notion of "generalizing concept", which is not tied to any specific level of analysis, and that the distinction between what is language-specific and what is crosslinguistic is not absolute. Further, it is shown that crosslinguistic pattern clusters as identified in what is here called "bottom-up typology" meshes well with the homeostatic property cluster approach to biological species.
This paper investigates the grammatical space of the two gram types – perfects and iamitives. Iamitives (from Latin iam 'already') overlap in their use with perfects but differ in that they can combine with stative predicates to express a state that holds at reference time. Iamitives differ from 'already' in having a higher frequency and showing a strong tendency to be grammaticalized with natural development predicates. We argue that iamitives can grammaticalize from expressions for 'already'. In this study, we extract perfect grams and iamitive grams iteratively starting with two groups of seed grams from a parallel text corpus (the New Testament) in 1107 languages. We then construct a grammatical space of the union of 370 extracted grams by means of Multidimensional Scaling. This grammatical space of perfects and iamitives turns out to be a continuum without sharp boundaries anywhere.

Porsche Cayman R was proclaimed Britain's Best Driver's Car for 2011 after winning Autocar magazine's yearly competition. The comparison test pitched 11 of the most exciting new vehicles this year against one another on public street and race track to find out which one offers the most excitement for drivers. The value of the 11 vehicles on test was about £900,000 in total.
The Cayman R's competition involved: Mercedes CLS64 AMG, McLaren MP4-12C, Renault Mégane Trophy, Vauxhall Corsa VXR, Aston Martin Vantage S, Caterham Supersport, Lotus Evora S, BMW 1M and Jaguar XKR-S.
For the six judges from Autocar's experienced road test team, it was the steering, completeness and ride of the £51,728 Cayman R that stood out -- no mean feat, given that last year's champion, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, was also a competitor.
The second place went to the light and nimble Caterham Seven Supersport, which is also one of the least expensive automobiles in the competition with its price of £22,995.
Aston Martin V8 Vantage S took third place, with the 911 GT3 RS ending up on fourth place this time around. In spite of the technical splendor and unquestionable pace of the £168,500 McLaren MP4-12C, speed doesn't always equate to excitement.
Thus, sixth place was the best the McLaren could muster in the assessment, one place behind the Lotus Evora S.
Steve Sutcliffe, who is Autocar's editor-at-large and Britain's Best Driver's Car judge, commented that the Porsche Cayman R's steering is "about as sweet as it gets," adding that the ride is "150 times better than it has any right to be" given how little body movement there is "when you're really going for it."
Porsche revealed that the letter R in its alphabet is set aside specifically for special sports cars. This particular letter stands for refined, responsive, and most importantly, racy. All of these qualities are in the mid-engine Porsche Cayman R. Compared to the Cayman S, it is more powerful and lighter, which means it is more efficient and quicker.
Indeed, the Cayman R was designed to deliver what may well be excellent driving dynamics. Considering that it is fitted with a sport chassis developed for it, it offers driving that is more precise unlike that of the Cayman S. In designing the Cayman R, the goal was to lower the weight of this two-seater in order to enhance the agility, driving dynamics, and performance.
As a result, the DIN empty weight of the Cayman R stands at 1,295 kilograms, 55 kilograms lighter compared to the Cayman R. Since the weight of the body was reduced, it also made it possible to lower the power-to-weight ratio.
Using the standard manual transmission, ratio is at 3.9 kilograms per horsepower with the PDK variant at 4.0 kilograms per horsepower. Majority of the reduction in the weight was due to utilizing lightweight components and all without the need for any convenience fitting.
For its bodywork for example, the doors are made of aluminium, like the 911 Turbo, and thus it has lowered its weight by as much as 15 kilograms. Instead of the standard seats equipped in the Cayman S, the Cayman R makes use of the light sports bucket seats thus saving an estimated 12 kilograms.
It needs to be said however that the use of these seats in no way enhances the side support of the driver during bends. As mentioned earlier, convenience fittings were avoided and since it does not have any radio or air conditioning system, weight is lowered even further by 15 kilograms.

Detroit may claim the title of "Hockeytown, U.S.A.," yet Boston certainly gives Motown its fair share of competition for the rights to that nickname. Besides being a longtime center of pro hockey, Beantown is also a hotbed for the college game, as evidenced by The Beanpot. The ever-popular, 65th annual tournament between Hub-based Boston College, Boston University, Northeastern University and Harvard University begins February 6 at TD Garden at 5 p.m. when Harvard faces Northeastern, followed by B.C. versus B.U. at 8 p.m. A week later, on February 13, the winners vie for city bragging rights as well as the coveted, silver Beanpot trophy (pictured) at 7 p.m., with the consolation game taking place that afternoon at 4:30 p.m., making for a full day of hockey madness.

Stephanie3005 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 42 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
Levinson Lee Consulting, LLC
I am an economist who provides expert witness consulting for litigation. My emphasis is on visual storytelling and clear communication; my background is in securities and finance. I help explain complex securities and challenging financial ideas and tell a story to support my client's point of view. My current clients are lawyers.
One thought I had was some black or grey tumbling numbers in a pile, with one or two numbers in a bright color - the idea being that there is a ton of data out there, but I will help pick out the key figures to convince a judge or arbitration panel.
My clients are attorneys for large broker-dealers, so they're a serious bunch. They tend to be men in their 40's-60's, though not exclusively. I'd like my logo to appeal to my corporate clients, but also convey my love for great visuals. I love to turn 'data' into information and to tell a story with numbers and charts. I do have a bit of an aversion to pie charts, as it is often difficult to discern their underlying data.

Perhaps the only thing as good as (or better than) new Pixar movies are the wonderful short films that precede them. Not only are they great examples of short-form storytelling, but they also help to highlight some of the vast talent working behind the scenes at Pixar.
This is definitely the case with The Blue Umbrella, the new Pixar short that will appear before this summer's Monsters University. In it, a blue umbrella falls in love with a red umbrella. You know, just your usual off-beat but totally adorable Pixar stuff.
Recently, the The Wall Street Journal featured an extensive article about the new short, as well as a brief clip, which can be seen at the top of the article. In addition to showing off the undeniably cute blue and red umbrellas, the clip reveals some of the technical complexity of the film.
According to the The Wall Street Journal, the short film breaks new ground for Pixar, using special effects techniques that the company hadn't used previously used to create a photorealistic animation style.
One special effect called global illumination "simulates the way surfaces emit and reflect light." Steve May, Pixar's chief technology officer, said that some scenes using this technique took as many as 30 hours to render only one frame of film.
Another new animation effect used in The Blue Umbrella is called "deep compositing," in which "a scene is created by layering images with three-dimensional data, instead of flat, two-dimensional data, giving the filmmakers greater control over the look of the film and viewers the experience of greater depth of field." Pixar is using both of these techniques in Monsters University.
In addition to utilizing new technology, The Blue Umbrella represents another first for Pixar: It is the company's first short film to be directed by a technical artist. Saschka Unseld, who has worked in Pixar's camera and staging department since 2008, conceived the story and pitched it to Pixar's development team and, eventually, CEO John Lasseter.
What do you think of the short clip? Are you looking forward to watching The Blue Umbrella in front of Monsters University?
Monsters University hits theaters on June 21st, 2013.

Lady Gaga's 'You & I' Remixed by Producer Mark Taylor
As Lady Gaga gets ready to appear on Cher's 'The Greatest Thing' as a featured performer, Mother Monster is unveiling a remix of her latest single, 'You & I,' created by producer Mark Taylor, perhaps best known for his work on Cher's 'Believe' album.
The Taylor remix is more upbeat than the original. And is that an electric fiddle in there? But more than anything, it still carries the distinct sound of "Mutt" Lange, who helped Gaga produce the album version of 'You & I.' Lange's rock and country influences and stomping arena-sized beat still dominate the remix.
Popjustice provided a snippet of the remix, which the site claims will be part of the 'You & I' single package. Take a listen to it below. We'll definitely need to hear the complete song to get a full sense of what Taylor brought to the track.
The video for 'You & I' is now online. Perhaps Gaga will perform the song when she appears at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 28.

A new nematode species, Philometra spicarae sp. n. (Philometridae), is described from a gravid female found in the abdominal cavity of spicarel, Spicara smaris (Linnaeus) (Centracanthidae, Perciformes), from the Ionian Sea off Sicily, Italy. The new species differs from most other Philometra spp. parasitic in the abdominal cavity of marine fishes by the oesophagus without an anterior inflation, resembling thus only P. cheilopogoni Mordvinova, 1986 and P. justinei Moravec, Ternengo and Levron, 2006; these two species can be differentiated from P. spicarae by the relative length of the oesophagus to body length (0.6-0.8% vs. 6%) and some other features. From the gonad-infecting species Philometra filiformis (Stossich, 1896), a parasite of Pagellus erythrinus (Linnaeus), P. spicarae differs mainly in having a conspicuously long (1.4 mm) intestinal ligament. It is the first nominal philometrid species described from the fish of the family Centracanthidae.

Kingfishers are mesmerising little birds and usually only seen flying past, or away, at break neck speed. Our local wildlife centre here in Cilgerran in west Wales has a healthy population of kingfishers and we're lucky enough to see them quite regularly there. The vivid colour of our British Kingfishers are truly stunning, a turquoise iridescence back and head and a bright orange underside. I have painted kingfisher before, but thisk kingfisher painting will be a exciting challenge.
See below the stages as the oil painting progresses from start to finish – start date is/was 25th June 2016.
Stage 1)
Using a palette knife I've blocked in the background with a thick mixture of RAW SIENNA, ULTRA MARINE BLUE, LEMON YELLOW, and BURNT SIENNA. I've painted this very loosely, and I've not over fussed it, at this stage it's just a matter of getting paint on the canvas in roughly the right colour.
Stage 2)
For the next stage of this kingfisher painting, whilst the thick background paint was still wet, I've added some more paint and softened that background with a fan brush, blending all the hard edges go give it that slightly 'out of focus' look.
Next I started to map out the kingfisher over the top of that background, just trying to get the main colours in roughly the right place, so that I can use these as a gauge to correct the tones and colours later as the painting progresses.
Stage 3)
I've started to add more detail to the kingfisher and the branch now, using smaller brushes and to get more control and detail. I've also started putting paint on the branch with a palette knife, using a palette knife allows me to create texture as well as add colour, which helps give the illusion of wood.
I'm using smallish brushes, size 4 and 6 flats, to add paint to the Kingfisher, painting over what I already had, I'm gradually building up the depth and detail, whilst all the time correcting and adjusting what was already there.
Stage 4)
Finished painting – Here is the fishing Kingfisher painting, after a little more work from the stage above the final stage was to add a coat of retouching varnish to the painting. This helps brighten up the colour and get rid of any uneven sheen a finished oil painting can sometimes have.
This Kingfisher painting in now available at the Cilgerran Wildlife Centre, displayed in the Visitors centre. Prints will be available to buy o this website soon.
Update 2019: See my latest large kingfisher painting here.
If you have any questions about this painting or any other queries please get in touch.

Sure, this stud hadn't imagined himself sucking a stranger's strapon when he got up that morning, just as he had at no time imagined that his pleasing wife would be the one doing the shoving. Phil was thankful that this chab still had a wife. Cassandra could have chosen to cut him completely without her life; if sucking the sexy goo of some random guy out of his wife's bawdy cleft was the price for staying married, then Phil was cheerful to be of service!

Victoria Beckham Does Yoga to Lose Baby Weight
Written by mindbodygreen
August 9, 2011
Victoria Beckham, now 37, gave birth to her daughter, Harper (her fourth child!), four weeks ago, and is already planning to shed her baby weight in time for New York Fashion Week on September 8th.
So how does she plan on doing so?
You guessed it - yoga!
Gather.com reports that Victoria will be using Mandy Ingber's 'Yogalosophy' (a favorite of Jennifer Aniston), to get back in shape. They're big fans of Victoria's yoga plan and say:
'It's great to see a celebrity losing weight in a way which doesn't include starving the body - healthy eating and exercise are the way to go, and yoga is a great way to keep yourself flexible and moving well.'
Namaste to that!

The Eclipse platform is an open source, integrated system of application development tools that you implement and extend using a plug-in interface. The Eclipse Business Intelligence Reporting Tool (BIRT) is a set of plug-in extensions that enable a developer to add reporting functionality to an application. BIRT provides a Report Engine API that a developer can use to create a customized report generator application. The org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api package contains a set of interfaces and implementation classes that supports integrating the runtime part of BIRT into an application.
The BIRT Report Engine can provide report generation and rendering services in the following environments:
- Stand-alone engine: A Java developer uses a stand-alone engine to render a BIRT report from a report design (.rptdesign) file. In this environment, the Java developer creates a command-line application that writes a report to disk, either in HTML or PDF format.
- BIRT report viewer: BIRT Report Designer uses the BIRT report viewer to view a report as paginated HTML. The BIRT report viewer is a Web application that runs in the Tomcat Application Server embedded in Eclipse. This viewer contains an embedded BIRT report engine.
- Customized report designer: A customized report design environment uses an embedded BIRT report engine to preview a report.
- Web application: A Web application similar to the BIRT report viewer uses an embedded BIRT report engine to generate a Web-based report.
- Creates and configures a report engine
- Opens a report design or report document
- Accesses data from a data source
- Generates a report in a supported output format
- Shuts down the engine
The main interfaces and classes in the org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api package are:
- ReportEngine
- EngineConfig
- IReportRunnable
- IRenderOption and its descendants
- IEngineTask and its descendants
- Get a configuration object.
- Open a report design or a report document.
- Create an engine task to get parameter definitions and set parameter values.
- Create an engine task to access data from a data set.
- Get supported report formats and MIME types.
- Create an engine task to run a report or render a report to an output format.
- Create an engine task to extract data from a report document.
- Clean up and shut down the engine.
The EngineConfig class contains the configuration settings for the report engine. Use the EngineConfig object to specify the settings for the following properties:
- HTML emitter configuration for custom handling of images or actions for HTML output
- Logging to set the logging file location and level
- Platform context to indicate whether the application and engine home are in a stand-alone environment or packaged as a WAR file
- Resource files to set the location where the reporting application can access libraries and properties files
- Scripting configuration to provide external values and Java resources to scripting methods
Two engine configuration properties depend on whether the environment in which the application runs is stand-alone or in a WAR file on an application server. These properties are the platform context and the HTML emitter configuration. The platform context provides the report engine with the mechanism to access files. The HTML emitter configuration provides the functionality for processing images and handling hyperlinking and bookmark actions.
A ReportEngine constructor takes the EngineConfig object as its argument. If the configuration object is null, the report engine uses the default configuration. If the configuration object is null, the environment must provide a BIRT_HOME variable that specifies the directory containing the engine plug-ins and JAR files.
Listing 1 shows how to set up a report engine in a stand-alone application. The application uses the engine home located in the BIRT runtime directory. The report output format is HTML. The application configures the HTML emitter and creates the report engine using the settings contained in the EngineConfig object.
Opening a Report Design or Report Document
BIRT Report Engine can generate a report from either a report design or an existing report document. To open a report design, call one of the openReportDesign( ) methods on ReportEngine. These methods instantiate an IReportRunnable object using a String object that specifies the path to a report design or an input stream.
To open a report document, call the ReportEngine.openReportDocument( ) method. This method instantiates an IReportDocument object using a String object that specifies the path to a report document (.rptdocument) file. This method returns the IReportDocument object. You must handle the EngineException that these methods throw.
The IReportRunnable object provides direct access to basic properties of the report design. The names of report design properties are static String fields, such as IReportRunnable.AUTHOR. To access a report design property, use the getProperty( ) method with a string argument that contains one of these fields.
To access and set the values of parameters, use methods on a parameter definition task object, described later in this article. Listing 2 shows how to open a report design and find a property value. If the engine cannot open the specified report design, the code shuts down the engine. The variable, engine, is a ReportEngine object.
The IReportDocument object provides access to the data in a report and the report's structure. IReportDocument provides methods to retrieve table of content entries, bookmarks, and page information.
To access table of content entries, use the findTOC( ) method. This method takes a TOCNode argument and returns a TOCNode object. To find the root table of contents entry, use a null argument. To find the subentries of a table of contents entry, use the getChildren( ) method. This method returns a list of TOCNode objects. From a TOCNode object, you can retrieve the display value of the entry and a Bookmark object.
