Solidarity and inclusion feature strongly at the heart of Green ideals. In the European context, many challenges lie ahead of us in these fields as a result of the economic crisis of the last decade, but also as a consequence of the political choices made and the policies implemented. In addition, changing demographic, social and cultural factors, as well as sustained declining levels of economic growth in our countries, push us to reinvent new systems of solidarity and new conceptions of work.
The Green European Foundation therefore dedicates its efforts to the exploration of new theoretical ideas such as basic income, work sharing and working time reduction, and the development of better social policies as well as the potential of green and climate jobs in Europe. GEF also explores the various notions of work beyond paid work, as well as care and gender divisions within the labour perspective.
The foundation strives to uncover the potential of new, alternative concepts to provide answers to the uncertainties created by automation and digitalisation, as well as by the ageing population and the multiplication of precarious work contracts and degraded working conditions. The aim of these concepts is to ultimately deliver more freedom and security to everyone whilst reducing inequalities in our societies and addressing climate change. At the same time, GEF takes into consideration the complex interactions between the national, European and international levels.

I've been meaning to work on my Italian for about ten years, since I compared my Italian with my sister's. She's a professional translator, whereas I learned it all from nuns at bus stops and naughty kids in school.
The result is that Little Sister knows how to say things like "henceforth" and "notwithstanding," whereas I can tell you three different words for different types of fart.
There's no substitute for reading. With elegantly used grammar and just the right word, the language ceases to be mere communication, and becomes a thing of beauty to enjoy in its own right. The problem is that Italian newspapers and books are just so difficult! And usually boring as well.
I've found a new magazine called TUTTO ITALIANO
And I have decided to write a review of it. Here goes:
TUTTO ITALIANO is written by Italian journalists specifically for foreign readers. The January-February edition has a fascinating article explaining what the Italian Carnival is really all about, a look at the history of those lovely Baci Perugina chocolates, and short news pieces about Italy's female astronaut and Schettino the murderous ferry captain. There were pieces on politics, sport and fashion, too. I've had a few tussles getting it back off Hubby, which proves it's interesting to read.
It has vocabulary lists translating the more difficult words. There are also some puzzles and a crossword which I actually managed to finish. With NO help from hubby (but a few hints from the kiddo).
Best of all, each edition comes with a CD containing at least 15 articles in audio format. It's like having a TUTTO ITALIANO radio programme which you can rewind…. and afterwards read, to make sure you understood it properly. At last! An excuse for not listening to Hubby's appalling music in the car!
Here's a link if you want to investigate for yourself
An annual subscription costs £99 which is US$150. For this you get the audio CD and the printed magazine bi-monthly, which is 50 pages and almost no adverts.
(This site is a goldmine for Italian learners. They have hundreds of audio books and movies in Italian, divided up by skill level. There are language courses in book, CD and DVD form. I am very tempted by the Inspector Montalbano collections and I'm also wondering whether I want to watch the Godfather Trilogy in Italian – how much of it would be in Sicilian?)
Is there anything wrong with it?
TUTTO ITALIANO magazine only got started last year. There are some things I think could improve it.
I would like some interviews reported in first-person and second-person speech. These need not be with celebrities – an interview with a Murano glass maker or a gondolier would be intriguing for most foreigners!
I would love to see more sumptuous, beautiful photos with some articles.
I think a travel section would be great. It could focus on specific regions of Italy, or themed holidays such as cookery, language or art courses. This would make it easy to sell advertising space to relevant businesses and perhaps the earnings could be used to reduce the subscription price.
An opinion column would make the political section a bit more biting. The editor is careful to avoid controversy, but two columns presenting both sides of an argument would enhance the language learning experience as well as the content.
Definitely worth it
Despite the fact I can see room for improvement, I still think TUTTO ITALIANO is great. It's been improving my Italian without it feeling like work at all.
Have you read it?

Let me ask you a question. How important is the number 8 in Chinese culture? Personally, I know that it is considered a powerful and positive symbol. I saw many high-end wristwatches, which in one way or another were associated with the number 8. Most of the watch brands do not hide that they do this to attract customers.
Cacheux 8: Features
For Cacheux 8, the number 8 is really a certain symbol. It goes without saying that the model will be produced in a limited edition – only eight pieces. The name of the watch "8" implies that it took eight months to create them. On the dial, there is a massive eight-karat diamond, the body is made of 88 grams of 18-carat gold (white, pink or yellow and platinum as an option). Do not forget that on the dial is a large figure 8, which is also made of 18-carat gold. Let me assume that the price should also be at least eight digits! Keep reading: The Cacheux Elephant Automatic Watch Review.
Cacheux 8: Design
The design is definitely unique, thanks to the talented designer Fabien Cacheux. He always comes up with unique ideas and concepts of watches – far from those that can easily be embodied in life. The designer considers the release of Cacheux 8 "tribute to the number 8".
Cacheux 8: Dial & Cover
At the same time, although the model is a unique set, it reminds me of the Montblanc Grand Tourbillon Heures Mysterieuses. Not exactly the same, of course, but they have similar in theme dials, similar tourbillons. Can a large diamond on the dial be next to the tourbillon? Will they divert attention from each other? Who knows. The Cacheux 8 watch will have five days of power reserve with manual winding. You can see the movement of the mechanisms through the back cover of the watch.
While the dial looks quite large, the arrows seem a bit paltry. I think that the dial is difficult to read. So, I still think that the space of the dial could be used a little better and make it more legible.
Cacheux 8: Additional features & Price
It is difficult to say for what purposes on the dial such a large diamond. It's all like a ring, is not it? Instead of a heap of stones, these watches simply prefer to focus all attention on one large shiny stone. Although I do not think that this is such a big feature of the watch. I think it would be cool to rotate the diamond once a minute. This might add some shine to the clock. The price of the Cacheux 8 clock is currently unknown.

Discussion in 'Religion' started by StrangerInAStrangeLand, Jul 26, 2018.
Trying to put your faults on others will not get you anywhere.
Log in or Sign up to hide all adverts.
If I ever find myself eulogizing the genre of fiction for its innate skillful capacity to demonstrate reality, I shall certainly recall your wise counsel.
What the heck are you babbling on about?
If you've lost track, feel free to go back about 6 posts.
I have not lost track. You are babbling nonsense.
At the very least, you are doing a fine job of not returning to the points under discussion.
YOU went off the track.
I tried some to see what the heck is going on but it is no use with you.
.... feel free to take the lead
It is a dead horse.
So your horse is dead.
Actually the horse died on your lead. Interpret that anyway you will ...
Childish nonsense, trying to win points & needing the last word after I already left it to you.
I gave you the lead to get the topic back on track, since you were complaining it was diverted. You took the opportunity to take a few more ad hom digs. At the very least, it's clear where your priorities lay.
It is clear you cannot escape your fantasy.
You do not give to or take any lead from me.
Tho you did invite my interpretation of your silliness.
You do not understand ad hominem. Look it up.
I'd say 'no', if we are thinking of something like the Iranian Islamic Republic.
But the proper relationship between religion and state remains in flux in all of these countries, the US, UK, AU and CA.
Of those, England currently comes closest to a literal theocracy. It's the only one with an officially established church with the monarch as its head, its bishops approved by the prime minister and the acts of the church's synod possess the force of acts of parliament.
"On the advice of the Prime Minister The Queen appoints Archbishops, Bishops and Deans of the Church of England, who then swear an oath of allegiance and pay homage to HerMajesty. Church of England deacons and parish priests also swear an oath of allegiance to the Sovereign... The Synod meets twice annually in London or York to consider legislation for the good of the Church. The legislation is subject to Parliamentary veto and receives Royal Assent as Acts of Parliament..."
Theocracy is probably least likely in the USA, where the First Amendment of the United States Constitution forbids establishment of religion (European-style state churches as illustrated above) and where this has been interpreted by the courts in light of Thomas Jefferson's "Wall of Separation" between church and state.
Canada and Australia would seem to fall somewhere in the middle, since they are younger countries that incorporate features of both British and American origin. Australia seems to follow a weaker version of the US model.
"The Constitution of Australia prevents the Commonwealth from establishing any religion or requiring a religious test for any office... The language is derived from the United States' constitution, but has been altered. Following the usual practice of the High Court, it has been interpreted far more narrowly than the equivalent US sections and no law has ever been struck down for contravening the section. Today, the Commonwealth Government provides broad-based funding to religious schools and also funds school chaplains for public and private schools. All Australian parliaments are opened with a Christian prayer..."
Canada's policies on the matter are a totally confusing and not always consistent jumble, given Canada's French and British roots and the huge influence of the United States next door.
It can, but it would be nice to acknowledge it as such. So people don't get the wrong idea. No one is an activist against Aesop's Fables for instance.
I can see how some think it is very unlikely. I cannot say it is likely.
We seem to be making slow but steady progress in the other direction.
I do think it could happen.
Along with the people who want it, part of the problem is theists who do not want it yet can be conned into supporting things which could lead up to it.
Anyone who supports someone only or mainly because they claim to be christian is part of the problem.
Thanks for the classic hate speech.
"Even if persons of a particular creed profess a clear disinterest in political redress, one should still treat them with caution, because that creed is inherently untrustworthy and likely to stab you in the back."
It is not hate speech & you know it.
It appears that you are one who doesn't know it is.

Campaigners would like to see a ban on marketing fatty, salty and sugary products at youngsters. As a new report reveals obesity is at an all-time high, Kay Jordan looks at the issue of healthy eating and children
Another school day and teacher Gillian Cowley springs into action with her trusty vegetable peeler.
Each week she peels 10 kilos of carrots for the Healthy Snack Shop at Crookhill Primary School, Ryton, because the kids there just can't get enough of them. For just 15p they can get a drink of organic milk and a raw carrot at the shop, which is open at morning breaktime. Also on offer is fruit juice as well as other vegetables and fruit.
"We like to give them as much variety as possible," says Gillian, who runs the school's Mainstream Support Base, which caters for 12 children with moderate learning difficulties. The shop opened about three years ago.
"It started off when we got in a water machine for the children who didn't particularly like the water out of the school fountain," she explains. "That proved too expensive to run but from there we started supplying the children with other drinks and it just snowballed when it was suggested we sell apples and then carrots."
The need for the shop was reinforced when a school survey revealed that out of the total number of pupils, which stands at just under 200, about 14 had had nothing to eat or drink before school that day.
Since then children have asked their parents to buy them food they have tried in the shop and parents have told of their amazement at their youngsters eating things they would not previously touch at home.
Lorraine Gillhespy is head of the school, which is currently applying for a Healthy Eating Award, run by Gateshead Council. She says she hopes the Healthy Snack Shop will introduce the youngsters to a lifetime of healthy eating.
Initiatives like this are much-needed, if information in a Food Standards Agency report is anything to go by.
Its National Diet and Nutrition Survey in 2000 found British children were eating less than half the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables.
A Department of Health survey in 1998 revealed nearly one in five English children were classified as overweight.
The prevalence of excess weight among English primary schoolchildren doubled between 1984 and 1998, according to a report from the International Obesity Task Force.
And a report this week from the World Health Organisation reveals the number of cases of obesity is on the rise once again.
Two years ago the Food Commission looked at 358 foods marketed at children in the UK. It found 77 per cent of the products contained high levels of sugar, salt or saturated fat.
Last year, fast food chain McDonald's "free toy" schemes were voted by members of the Food Commission's Parents Jury as the marketing technique most likely to cause their child to pester them to buy "unhealthy" foods. Only recently, the Parents Jury, made up of 1,500 mothers and fathers, branded former England footballer Gary Lineker as "greedy" for plugging a brand of crisps.
Now a ban on marketing fatty, salty and sugary products at youngsters is one of the options supported by a study from the Food Commission's campaign group.
It also backs those calling for a nationwide promotion of healthy foods and a possible "fat tax" on junk food advertising.
The report, which has been published by the Consumers' Association watchdog, urges firms to limit the use of salt, sugars, artificial flavouring and colouring in products aimed at children.
Kath Dalmeny, author of the report, says food and drink companies have particular responsibility to act. "Whatever the claims of the food industry, it is responsible for creating a climate that encourages unhealthy food choices.
"Children are especially vulnerable but also especially targeted by companies that exploit a wide range of marketing practices to encourage consumption of their products.
Martin Patterson, deputy director general of industry body the Food and Drink Federation, hits back: "Food and drink manufacturers take a very responsible view of their relationships with children and with marketing partners.
"There are already codes of practice governing children's advertising and these state that ads should not encourage children to eat or drink frequently throughout the day, condone excessive consumption or suggest confectionery or snacks should replace balanced meals.
"Manufacturers use advertising and marketing to promote the many thousands of brands in a competitive marketplace."
Moira Hill, community dietician with Newcastle Nutrition based at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary, says ultimately it's up to parents to ensure their children have a balanced diet, although she acknowledges that this is easier said than done.
"Children are subjected to advertising using famous people and there are so many more pre-packed and snack foods than there were 20 or even 10 years ago.
"There is concern about the salt content of many of them because our salt requirement is quite low - four grams a day, which is less than one teaspoon, for adults and about three grams for children - and it has been noted that children do have a higher salt intake than is required. "The problem with this is in the long-term with increased risk of high blood pressure.
"If you have a very high fat diet then you could be storing up trouble in the form of heart disease and diabetes, as well as high blood pressure.
"High sugar diets lead to weight and dental problems."
The main priority for parents, she adds, should be to make sure children eat a range of foods in order to balance out their diet.
She said: "At the end of the day, it's better if they eat some food rather than nothing at all. Some children need smaller amounts more often and if they do need little snacks, parents should try to ensure they're not all too high in fat, sugar or salt. What matters is how balanced the diet is overall."
She adds this word of warning: "Food manufacturers are very good at plastering `added vitamins and minerals' on packaging but they are not likely to put on `high in sugar' so it's a good idea to take a close look at the contents on the packaging."
Dr Sarah Partington, sport and exercise psychologist at Northumbria University, points out a healthy diet alone is no guarantee of good health.
"Activity levels are decreasing, for adults as well as children, and we need to look at a whole lifestyle change such as making a healthy lifestyle an habitual type of behaviour.
"Because of social and environmental factors, it's much harder now to keep active. We have lifts and escalators, for instance. Children are driven to school instead of cycling there themselves and they don't play out in the evenings. Sedentary children become sedentary adults and the problem for us sports psychologists is to get people to be active."
One way of encouraging already overweight children to change their lifestyle is through summer weight loss camps, which started in America and which were introduced in this country in recent years at Leeds.
"I have worked on them in America and there are nutritionists and sports scientists to educate the kids on healthy lifestyles," says Dr Partington. "The crucial thing is getting them to transfer what they learn to their ordinary home life."

Ensure your youngsters don't run out of food fuel
Newcastle Nutrition dietician, Moira Hill, says the most important thing when making a packed lunch for children is to give them enough fuel to keep them going.
If a child is coming home complaining of being really hungry then they aren't getting enough to eat during the day. Two pieces of bread in a sandwich may not be enough to get them through a day as children, generally, are a lot more active than adults.
"Parents could try three slices of bread and make a triple sandwich," she suggests.
"Also, they shouldn't get hung up on the fact their children will only eat white bread. As long as they are eating enough that's fine and there are other types of bread to try, such as rolls and pitta bread."
Children can be awkward when it comes to food and parents often fall into the trap of once they find a sandwich filling their child likes, of giving it to them every day. "They really should try new things as variety is very important," adds Moira. "They could try and see if their youngster will eat cold pasta salads. This doesn't have to be anything fancy. It could be the remains of last night's dinner."
Putting some fruit into the lunchbox every day is essential but Moira suggests something more imaginative than an apple, orange or banana.
"Parents could try making little fruit salads, sliced melon and apples or pineapples, putting them in a plastic container to keep them fresh."
Having crisps five times a week isn't a big deal, Moira adds. "As long as they are getting plenty of good nutritious food, it won't do them much harm but if parents are worried they can get low fat crisps."
Children should be encouraged to drink a lot as dehydration can lead to loss of concentration in lessons.

A fast way to become fat
Diets dominated by processed and fast food are among the main reasons why people are getting fatter, according to a World Health Organisation report.
The popularity of food and drink high in fat, sugar and salt are combining with falling levels of physical activity to fuel obesity, the study says.
A panel of experts blamed changing lifestyles with fewer family meals eaten together and more children watching television or playing on computers rather than being outside.
The problem is particularly acute among people living in cities who, the reports says, are more likely to be exposed to energy-dense food and take less exercise.
More than a billion people worldwide are now overweight, of whom at least 300 million are clinically obese, the World Health Organisation (Who) says.
In the UK, the number of men considered obese has more than doubled from eight per cent in the 1980s to 17 per cent now, while the rate for women had soared from nine to 21 per cent.
The situation is mirrored among children with nearly one in five youngsters in England overweight, according to a 1998 survey by the Department of Health.
A growing number of UK consumers now buy ready-made meals, a popular processed food, with sales up 44 per cent in four years to reach #1.95bn last year, according to recent research by market analysts Mintel

This is an independently organized event and not part of the official program. HQ passholders must register separately if they wish to attend.
A good "chatbot" or "social bot" can improve customer experience, reduce costs, and build your brand. But while chatbots can yield many benefits, they can also pose legal and business challenges. How can your marketing department deploy chatbots effectively? Frankfurt Kurnit, one of the nation's leading media and entertainment law firms, will take the Social Media Week audience on another plain English tour of key legal issues governing social media marketing — focusing this time on chatbots. Our free, interactive presentation (including lunch!) — will help social media experts and other marketers reduce the legal risk associated with chatbots. Topics include:
- Nourishing your chatbot. To render accurate answers to customers, your chatbots need access to accurate information. How do social media marketers and their technology teams "educate" their chatbots? We'll provide a quick primer on the technology and concerns raised by data mining.
- Platform terms. What are some of the main platform restrictions at play when using chatbots? Do platforms like Facebook allow you to send promotional push notifications through a bot? How long do you have to respond to consumers? We'll cover the key platform rules governing your chatbot functionality.
- User data and privacy. Chatbots solicit and collect a significant amount of information from consumers, including personal information. Whose privacy policies govern the collection, use, and sharing of this information, and what laws may apply? What disclosures should you be making in your policies?
- Marketing disclosures. Chatbot disclosures are hard. How do you include "clear and conspicuous" disclaimers in a conversational environment? Our panel will provide some guidance on best practices.
- Children and other high risk audiences. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act governs the collection of information from children under 13. What issues do you need to look out for when creating chatbots for general audience websites? Also, what concerns arise when collecting data from consumers outside the U.S.? We'll cover some of the provisions you can put in your contracts to mitigate risk.
- Lose weight and have perfect skin. Does your chatbot make claims about how well your product or service works? Federal and state laws require you to have "back up" for these claims. How do you ensure that your chatbot is effectively communicating only truthful claims about your products and services?
- Data security and incident response. No system is completely secure. What will you do when a third-party breaches the chatbot environment? We'll help you anticipate problems — and get ready.

Nigerian police Tuesday night said the country's deputy senate president was a victim of a burglary attempt and not assassination as he claimed.
"Preliminary investigation carried out so far did not reveal assassination attempt on the life of the Dep Senate President, Sen. Ike Ekweremadu and his family but a case of Burglary," Nigeria Police Force tweeted on Tuesday.
But the Senator Ike Ekweremadu insisted that there was an attempt to kill him.
He told his colleagues in the Senate hours after the alleged assassination attempt that he was able to escape because "there was a fight with heavy commotion."
One of the suspected assassins, he said, was apprehended and handed over to the police.
"It was about 4:00 a.m. this morning that some people evaded the security in my house and got all the way to my room where I was sleeping with my wife," he said.
"There was a struggle. There was a fight with heavy commotion. And by the grace of God, we eventually caught one of them and the rest escaped."
He said the response to his distress call to the inspector-general of police and the deputy inspector-general in charge of operations were poor.
"The annoying aspect or the one that is worrisome is that at that point, I called the Inspector General of Police," Ekweremadu said.
"His phone was (switched) off. I called some of his aides. Their phones rang out. Nobody replied, till now. I called DIG Operations. Till I left my house, nobody showed up."
Police spokesman Jimoh Moshood, however, said five persons on Ekweremadu's security detail have been arrested "negligent acts and dereliction of duty

According to a 2009 study in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), one in five elderly patients is readmitted to the hospital 30 days after leaving, resulting in more than $17 billion in annual Medicare costs.
"Reducing avoidable hospital readmissions, then, represents a unique opportunity for policymakers, payers, and providers to reduce health care costs while increasing the quality of patient care," says Jenny Minott in her report for Academy Health, Reducing Hospital Readmissions. In fact, avoiding a return trip to the hospital has implications beyond better long-term patient outcomes. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly referred to as the Health Care Reform Act) aims to reduce hospital readmission rates for Medicare patients by implementing penalties against hospitals that fail to reduce high readmission rates.
Just how many readmissions can be prevented remains elusive. The lead author of the NEJM study said about 40 percent — nearly 1 million rehospitalizations annually — are avoidable. However, in a June 2007 report, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission said three-quarters of readmissions are "potentially preventable."
A Home Instead Senior Care® network survey of health care professionals engaged in discharge planning cited a number of goals and areas for improvement that could help patients better transition from hospital to home including:
- Medication reconciliation
- Follow-up physician visit assistance
- Nutrition management
- Warning sign monitoring and notification
Any and all avoided readmissions are beneficial for the patient, his/her care providers and medical facilities. Working with a returning home care program can fill the gaps in each person's plan of care that can help ensure a healthy recovery and avoid complications that can lead to readmission.

Chikoo is, simply put, a file manager. In fact, Chikoo pegs itself as a "simple file organizer for the Mac." Chikoo can handle any file type you throw at it. You can add and edit the files' metadata to your heart's content. You can organize the files in lists and folders of lists. You can easily view the files with Quick Look. Chikoo is a cross between OS X's Finder and iTunes.
If you've got a desktop littered with documents, unable to ever find the one specific file at the right specific time, Chikoo may be exactly what you need. Join us after the jump as we take a closer look!
Chikoo looks nice. It looks really nice. It follows the standard Mac OS X design aesthetic, and that's not a bad thing. Some applications attempt to recreate the feel of a native Mac OS X application and fall flat on their face – Chikoo does not. It has the familiar sidebar, housing your document library and user-created lists. If you've got an overwhelming number of lists, you can create folders or collapse the entire section to reduce clutter.
The toolbar is clean and simple, containing only two buttons to "Import" or "Open" a document, along with a search filter. You can customize the toolbar to include a Quick Look button, among other things. The lower left-hand corner contains an "Attribute" slide-out window, akin to the mini artwork viewer in iTunes, which allows you to see the user-defined metadata. If you are familiar with Mac OS X applications, you'll feel right at home with the Chikoo interface.
Importing Files
In order to add your files to your Chikoo library, you must import them by clicking the "Import" button. When you click "Import," you are immediately asked whether or not you want to move the file into a "Chikoo folder" or leave the file where it is.
If you select "Move," a folder is created in the user's home directory labeled "Chikoo" (the folder has a nice "carved out" icon to match the other folders in the home directory). A standard file browser opens, to select the file(s) you wish to import. My first instinct was to simply drag and drop the files into the Chikoo window – this is not possible.
Once the files have been imported, they simply sit, list view, in your "Library." By default, the only information displayed is the name of the file. I initially imported a few PDF documents and a couple images, all of which had a file name consisting of a random string of numbers and letters.
Sitting in my Chikoo library, there was no discernible way to tell one PDF from another, let alone from a JPEG or other file type, without pressing the Space Bar to launch QuickView to get an actual glimpse of the file. It was at this moment I realized the unfortunate omission of a thumbnail view.
Managing Attributes
You can edit the file names (though, for better or worse, this is not reflected in the actual file names) and rename them more appropriately. You can also add your own metadata to each file, known as "Attributes." It took me a few minutes to figure out exactly how this worked.
You must first create the desired attribute categories. To do this, select "Manage Attributes…" from the "Settings" menu. Click the "+" icon to add a new attribute. You enter a label for the attribute and then select the format (text, number or date) from a drop-down menu. Since Chikoo does not automatically list the file types, I created a "Type" text attribute.
After the attribute category is created, adding specific attributes to each file is a bit tricky as well. I naturally went to right-click (Command-click) the document name in the "Library" list, expecting to find a "Get Info" option. No such luck. To edit the attributes, you must select the file and slide-out the "Attribute" viewer in the lower left-hand corner. The categories you just created are listed, with a text box beneath each.
I manually entered "PDF" and "JPG" for the files I previously imported. I also added an arbitrary date attribute. These attributes can then be added as sortable columns within the main window.
Organising Files
You can organize your files in lists, either manually or using smart lists. You simply drag and drop the files from the "Library" to the desired list to create manual lists. Smart lists work similar to Smart Playlists in iTunes or Smart Folders in Finder, except that you can only filter the files by the file name or the attributes you've manually set up.
Similar Applications
There are a number of Finder replacements on the market, but I believe Evernote is the closest in functionality to Chikoo. At its very basic level, Evernote is a file organizer. You can import your documents, organize them in notebooks, and add custom tags – just like Chikoo.
Evernote takes this a step further by offering applications on multiple platforms and mobile devices, everything kept in sync, searchable documents and images, and available online. Compared to Evernote, Chikoo's feature set seems extremely limited.
Chikoo is a nice looking Mac application. It is for that very reason that certain limitations feel like glaring omissions. While it is nice that you can tag your files with any attribute you desire, manually adding each attribute to each file becomes extremely tedious extremely quickly.
There's no reason why Chikoo can't automatically detect, at the very least, the file types and sizes. Once you add a number of documents, it seems no easier to find items within Chikoo's library than it would be if you were looking through a folder full of documents within Finder. In fact, Finder may be easier – for images, for example, I can simply select the thumbnail view and quickly browse through all my images until I find the one I am looking for.
Using the search function is limited to the file name and attributes, there is no search within document itself. In order to locate a specific file, Quick Look appears to be the easiest option.
As it stands, Chikoo is still a work in progress. At the time of this writing, it is only at version 0.5.1. Chikoo is a available from Coding Turtle at the discounted price of €9.95 (roughly $13.90 USD), until the release of 1.0 – at which point the price will increase. Chikoo faces some stiff competition from more robust file managers, such as Evernote.
As a Mac file organizer, Chikoo doesn't do much that Finder can't already do. I would love to see Chikoo incorporate different views and automatically pull in any and all already available metadata. In order to gain and maintain relevancy, Chikoo has some serious catching up to do.
Chikoo provides folders, lists and smart lists to help you keep files of your choice neatly organized. It is up to you what you wish to organize; it could be your PDF files, movies, images—anything.

The window for the Redskins to trade backup quarterback Kirk Cousins will open at 4 p.m. on March 11. It may not close for quite some time.
First, let's give the obligatory update on the Cousins trade situation. He has said that he is "open" to being traded to a team where he can start. That's all well and good but it's really meaningless since the Redskins have the right to trade him or keep him as they please. For their part, the team has indicated that it is not planning to trade Cousins. Of course, that is the proper public stance to take to get maximum value in a deal.
Many are thinking that if the Redskins do deal Cousins, it will happen either before the May 8 draft or at some point during the draft. The Redskins lack a first-round pick and a second or third would help replenish their stock of selections.
However, the Redskins may want to wait until after the draft to make a deal. In fact, they might have to. Potential trade partners might want to see how the draft unfolds for them before calling. After the draft, teams that missed out on the QB's they may have wanted might come calling. Or a team might get into minicamp and, after seeing how its signal callers perform on the field, decide it doesn't like its situation at quarterback. They could then decide to call the Redskins and try to work out a trade for a 2015 draft pick.
If the Redskins don't get an offer for Cousins that they believe returns sufficient value they could go to camp with him and wait to see if another team loses its starter to injury during the preseason. At that point they may be able to get maximum value from a team facing going into the season without a starting caliber quarterback.
It could even stretch into the regular season and a team that either suffers and injury to its starter or finds out that its Plan A at quarterback isn't working could pick up the phone and call Redskins Park.
Of course, Cousins could end up being on the Redskins' roster all season. If he is still a Redskin after the trade deadline they will have to trade him in 2015 if they want to get anything in return for him. After that season he will be a free agent and will be able to sign wherever he wants to.

What does Hiv Vereniging Nederland do in the area of sexuality?
- 11 March 2014
- By Hiv Vereniging Nederland
The Hiv Vereniging provides useful information about sexuality and relationships and offers opportunities for getting into contact with others. And last but not least: the Hiv Vereniging advocates the interests of people with HIV – also in the area of sexuality.
How does the Hiv Vereniging inform people about sexuality?
We inform people through publications such as this one, through our website (www.hivnet.org) and through Hivnieuws. Through the information line of the Servicepunt we also answer hundreds of questions about sexuality and relationships that we receive each year by telephone or by e-mail.
What are the opportunities for getting into contact with others?
At the bar evenings, weekends, dinners and informative meetings that the Hiv Vereniging offers, people regularly exchange experiences in terms of sexuality and making contacts. And sometimes that can even lead to a relationship or a sexual contact. You can read about the activities planned for the coming period on www.hivnet.org (Dutch) under the heading Activities but also in our magazine Hivnieuws. On the forum on www.hivnet.org you can share information and experiences.
In this article you can read about the advocacy work that the Hiv Vereniging does in the area of sexuality.
What does the Hiv Vereniging do in terms of advocacy in connection with sexuality?
- 11 March 2014
- By Hiv Vereniging Nederland
The Hiv Vereniging regularly calls attention to various topics, for example: To what extent are doctors, nurses and health organisations communicating the insight that it is much less easy to pass on your virus if your viral load is undetectable? What are we communicating about hepatitis C? In the past, the Hiv Vereniging introduced rapid testing for HIV in the Netherlands and was intensively engaged with the legal ramifications of unprotected sex. As a result of the latter efforts, it is now clear that unprotected sex between consenting adults is not punishable. That means you are not required to tell your partner about your HIV, but it also means that you may not lie to them about it. We encourage STI policlinics to hold special hours for people with HIV. The Hiv Vereniging is actively working to obtain effective screening and treatment for (early stages of) anal cancer. We advise health organisations and in doing so we promote the interests of people with HIV, for example in policies dealing with HIV testing, in studies on safer sex and in activities that aim at preventing the spread of HIV. With HIV doctors and HIV nurses we discuss aspects dealing with sexuality that come up during their consultations. Examples of those include the idea of offering people with HIV an STI check along with their regular HIV blood tests or consultations with the HIV nurse about sexual health.

Apr 01, 2017 Jorah Star Trek 0
We will be seeing a familiar character in Star Trek Discovery from the original TV series, and yes, we are talking about Harry Mudd. Rainn Wilson, "The Office" fame is going to portray Mudd in Star Trek: Discovery. The show's storyline is set in the "Prime" Universe, ten years before the "The Original Star Trek Series."
The show is not at all related to the current movie timeline created by J.J Abrams. The reason we mentioned that because a lot of Star Trek purists hate the stories and films in the "Kelvin Timeline" (JJ Abrams movie timeline). Riann is a decorated actor, and he is going to bring his own sense of uniqueness to the character of Mudd that will be completely different than There is no fixed date for the release date of Star Trek Discovery yet, and things haven't good for the series due to the "Creative & Administrative" fluctuations in the production team. However, updates on the show make us relieved that at least something is happening behind the curtains because a couple of months back there were news from relevant sources that this show could be canned. We think that television needs a regular entertaining Star Trek TV show, and yeah, Star Trek Discovery is not going to be "Episodic" like previous Star Trek shows!

The proposal that biomass is carbon-neutral put forward in the early 1990s has been superseded by more recent science that recognizes that mature, intact forests sequester carbon more effectively than cut-over areas. When a tree's carbon is released into the atmosphere in a single pulse, it contributes to climate change much more than woodland timber rotting slowly over decades. Current studies indicate that "even after 50 years the forest has not recovered to its initial carbon storage" and "the optimal strategy is likely to be protection of the standing forest".[58][not in citation given][59][60]
The pros and cons of biomass usage regarding carbon emissions are summed up in the ILUC factor. The biomass industry has been trying to avoid or delay the usage of the ILUC factor.[61]
Forest-based biomass has recently come under fire from a number of environmental organizations, including Greenpeace and the Natural Resources Defense Council, for the harmful impacts it can have on forests and the climate. Greenpeace recently released a report entitled "Fuelling a BioMess"[62] which outlines their concerns around forest-based biomass. Because any part of the tree can be burned, the harvesting of trees for energy production encourages Whole-Tree Harvesting, which removes more nutrients and soil cover than regular harvesting, and can be harmful to the long-term health of the forest. In some jurisdictions, forest biomass is increasingly consisting of elements essential to functioning forest ecosystems, including standing trees, naturally disturbed forests and remains of traditional logging operations that were previously left in the forest. Environmental groups also cite recent scientific research which has found that it can take many decades for the carbon released by burning biomass to be recaptured by regrowing trees, and even longer in low productivity areas; furthermore, logging operations may disturb forest soils and cause them to release stored carbon. In light of the pressing need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the short term in order to mitigate the effects of climate change, a number of environmental groups are opposing the large-scale use of forest biomass in energy production.[63][64]

"Doctor Atomic" Explodes on Stage
"Doctor Atomic" opened at the Met on Monday to rave reviews. John Adams opera premiered in San Francisco back in 2005, but the original production by Peter Sellars, who was also responsible for the libretto was not the one to open in New York. British film director Penny Woolcock was given control over the Met's production and seems to have brought out more nuances and depth than the previous production.
Anthony Tommasini of the New York Times writes, "The impressive baritone Gerald Finley, who created the daunting lead role unforgettably, brings his portrayal to the Met, grown even richer, more vocally visceral and emotionally nuanced...But the big news may be the work of the conductor Alan Gilbert, in his overdue Met debut. The performance he draws from the Met orchestra and chorus is a revelation. This score continues to impress me as Mr. Adams's most complex and masterly music. Whole stretches of the orchestral writing tremble with grainy colors, misty sonorities and textural density. Mr. Gilbert exposes the inner details and layered elements of the music: obsessive riffs, pungently dissonant cluster chords, elegiac solo instrumental lines that achingly drift atop nervous, jittery orchestral figurations."
Not all explosions are good. Keith McDonnell of MusicOMH writes, "Adams' harmonic language has shifted a long way from the repetitive chord ostinatos that made Nixon in China such a beguiling work but as he has failed to find a distinctive voice to replace them with all of the music he has provided is utterly nondescript and immediately forgettable. This was soundtrack music of the worst kind that delineated neither character nor atmosphere - the two fundamental ingredients of operatic musical language."
David Finkle of TheaterMania feels much the same, "during much of the opera's latter stretches, Adams' inspirations flag. He conjures passages of bad-weather music and running-for-cover music that wouldn't be out of place as thriller-movie underscoring...Adams, Sellars, and Woolcock may require a return to the drawing board for Doctor Atomic to become a fully explosive piece of work. "
There is even reason to suspect U.S. physicist Robert Oppenheimer (the person whom this story is based) wouldn't care for the production. This isn't Mr Adam's latest work (A Flowering Tree, 2006 and Fellow Traveler, 2007), but it is one that will likely stand the test of time being both topical and musically edgy (even if not everyone likes its edges).
Ok, not everyone thinks this new production is better - or even that the opera is completely formed. One thing it does do right: it puts microphones on the vocalists. Mr. Adams uses amplification and electronics in the orchestra, so he requests the singers and chorus use body microphones, the achieve the right balance. Earlier this year a Wagner production had to replace both the lead male and female twice during the first two weeks due to vocal fatigue. There are points during the "Doctor Atomic" where the volume of sound is huge. Forcing vocalists to sing over that is ridiculous and pointless. We have the technology; we should use it.

This is a clearly written, practical book about recognizing and changing unproductive behavior. It is presented from a psychotherapy standpoint and the reader is addressed as though in therapy with the author. Asker shares the three stages of therapy: exploring a problem; seeing alternatives to the way one has responded in the past; and, seeing that change is possible and can be dealt with in a solution-oriented manner; and it is working through these three stages that form the basis of the book.
I found the psychotherapy model both helpful and frustrating. There are plenty of good examples from Asker's practice but, since one is a reader instead of actually in therapy, the interaction with the Other which I find so helpful in therapy was missing. Being exhorted, counseled and educated in person is much different and more effective than being exhorted by a book. Books can't follow through, respond or explain further if you don't understand the first time and I actually found myself jealous of the author's real clients because they had this interaction with her and I did not.
The part I liked and found helpful about the psychotherapy approach was its clarity and the author's sense of normality and can-do-itness. Reading the book gave me a sense of support in struggling with my own problems and the author's positive experiences and beliefs buoyed up the chances for my own hoped-for success.
Basically the author's message is, if what one is doing with one's life isn't working, Plan A, then one needs to find something that does work, modified Plan A or entirely new Plan B. There's excellent help recognizing and accepting that something isn't working and helping the reader get "unstuck" from an unproductive point of view. A lot of this book is good, common sense presented in an orderly, interesting fashion. I would recommend it to those who would like a touch-up or reminder of how to change as well as to those who feel mired in some aspect of their lives.

Computer Graphics Lecture Notes DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING SHRI VISHNU ENGINEERING COLLEGE FOR WOMEN (Approved by AICTE, Accredited by NBA, Affiliated to JNTU Kakinada) BHIMAVARAM – 534 202
UNIT- 1 Overview of Computer Graphics 1.1 Application of Computer Graphics Computer-Aided Design for engineering and architectural systems etc. Objects maybe displayed in a wireframe outline form. Multi-window environment is also favored for producing various zooming scales and views. Animations are useful for testing performance. Presentation Graphics To produce illustrations which summarize various kinds of data. Except 2D, 3D graphics are good tools for reporting more complex data. Computer Art Painting packages are available. With cordless, pressure-sensitive stylus, artists can produce electronic paintings which simulate different brush strokes, brush widths, and colors. Photorealistic techniques, morphing and animations are very useful in commercial art. For films, 24 frames per second are required. For video monitor, 30 frames per second are required. Entertainment Motion pictures, Music videos, and TV shows, Computer games Education and Training Training with computer-generated models of specialized systems such as the training of ship captains and aircraft pilots. Visualization For analyzing scientific, engineering, medical and business data or behavior. Converting data to visual form can help to understand mass volume of data very efficiently. Image Processing Image processing is to apply techniques to modify or interpret existing pictures. It is widely used in medical applications. Graphical User Interface Multiple window, icons, menus allow a computer setup to be utilized more efficiently. 1.2 Video Display devices 1.2.1Cathode-Ray Tubes (CRT) - still the most common video display device presently
Electrostatic deflection of the electron beam in a CRT An electron gun emits a beam of electrons, which passes through focusing and deflection systems and hits on the phosphor-coated screen. The number of points displayed on a CRT is referred to as resolutions (eg. 1024x768). Different phosphors emit small light spots of different colors, which can combine to form a range of colors. A common methodology for color CRT display is the Shadow-mask meth
Illustration of a shadow-mask CRT The light emitted by phosphor fades very rapidly, so it needs to redraw the picture repeatedly. There are 2 kinds of redrawing mechanisms: Raster-Scan and Random-Scan 1.2.2 Raster-Scan The electron beam is swept across the screen one row at a time from top to bottom. As it moves across each row, the beam intensity is turned on and off to create a pattern of illuminated spots. This scanning process is called refreshing. Each complete scanning of a screen is normally called a frame. The refreshing rate, called the frame rate, is normally 60 to 80 frames per second, or described as 60 Hz to 80 Hz. Picture definition is stored in a memory area called the frame buffer. This frame buffer stores the intensity values for all the screen points. Each screen point is called a pixel (picture element). On black and white systems, the frame buffer storing the values of the pixels is called a bitmap. Each entry in the bitmap is a 1-bit data which determine the on (1) and off (0) of the intensity of the pixel. On color systems, the frame buffer storing the values of the pixels is called a pixmap (Though nowadays many graphics libraries name it as bitmap too). Each entry in the pixmap occupies a number of bits to represent the color of the pixel. For a true color display, the number of bits for each entry is 24 (8 bits per red/green/blue channel, each channel 28=256 levels of intensity value, ie. 256 voltage settings for each of the red/green/blue electron guns).

Specific accommodations to make the event truly accessible included accessible toilets, free tickets for carers, a Migloo accessible changing suite, Blue Badge parking, accessible bars and food.
There was a strong showing from the local community sector with over 30 organisations represented including Patina, Diversity Lewes, Dementia Action Alliance, Chestnut Tree House, Starfish Music. Accessible, family-friendly activities included: circus skills, samba, table tennis, jewellery-making, 'Pimp my Wheelchair' and exploring mindfulness through chocolate…
Culture Shift and Lewes Football Club have organised this event with a team of community partners including Starfish Music, Stay Up Late and Fresh Tracks DJs.
The partnership behind Every Sort of People hopes that this will become an annual event, and will inspire more accessible community programming in the future.
Julia Roberts, Associate Director Culture Shift said:
The Every Sort Of People Festival was a leap of faith for Culture Shift. There was a high element of risk involved in creating an event which aspired to be genuinely integrated at every level – planning, delivery, audiences, performers and contributors. On a shoestring budget, so much could have gone wrong but a core group of organisations and individuals shared a vision and committed their energies and talents to making it happen. Community effort and goodwill was rewarded with a sunny day and over 1000 people who came to the Dripping Pan on Saturday and take part in a unique festival event that was enjoyed by everyone. Thanks to Lewes FC for the invitation and the support to turn their ground into a festival for a day and thanks to everyone who played their part in making the vision a reality. We believe the event showed that social inclusion is possible and powerful and we hope that many more events like this will happen in future.

- Casino Night Club and Renobotnik redirect here; you may also be looking for Casinopolis or Casino Park.
The Casino Night Zone is an area on Westside Island previously controlled by Dr. Eggman.
Early Adventures
After defeating Dr. Eggman and his assistant, Dr. Julian Snively, at their base on South Island, Sonic the Hedgehog chased the two mad doctors down to Westside Island, where he teamed up with his new sidekick and best buddy Miles "Tails" Prower as well as the Knothole Freedom Fighters. They arrived in Casino Night Zone after passing through Aquatic Ruin Zone in their efforts to defeat the mad doctors, whose goal on Westside Island was major construction and refinements as part of their plan for world domination. From here, they chased them down to Hill Top Zone. (VG: StH2, SSD: #12)
Background information
- Casino Night Zone was a level from Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
- StH #270 was going to feature Casino Night Zone as one of the many products and services advertised by Breeze Media for the Chaos Emerald Championship. However, due to typing error, Casinopolis was listed instead, with the erroneous location of Westside Island.

Published 01st February 2011 by Constructing Excellence
In late 2009 the membership of Constructing Excellence identified five key strategic issues where there would be value in a better understanding for member companies and the wider industry. Task groups were formed to review each topic in a strategic way: Nuclear, Lean, Asset Management, Building Information Modelling (BIM) and the Economy. In establishing a task group on BIM it is debatable whether any of us anticipated the rate at which BIM would subsequently come to the fore. We had seen that there were increasing numbers of conversations about BIM in the UK, and some good examples of its use on large projects, but there seemed to be little widespread use across the industry. As a subject BIM wasn"t new to us. We had already begun work on a series of case studies (which were published in February 2010), and prior to that we led the Avanti project in 2001-5, which became the basis of British Standard BS1192, which was a BIM predecessor. So, at Constructing Excellence, we love BIM. You can't use BIM without adopting integrated working. And we have 12 years" worth of evidence that shows that integrated working produces a better end result than traditional, sequential design-bidbuild too often procured using lowest price.

So I've spent the past few weeks rereading one of my all-time favourite series (Princess Diaries), and it got me thinking about all the other books about princesses I love or have loved since I was a kid. So I decided to make a list of it, and share with you some of my favourite books featuring princesses! Let's get started. 🙂
I started reading Meg Cabot's iconic Princess Diaries series about 10 years ago. They probably weren't suitable reading for me then, and they sure as heck aren't now! If you've seen the movie and think you know Mia Thermopalis, you might be surprised! The Mia in the books is a lot more snarky, witty, funny, and downright loveable. I grew up reading these books throughout high school and they made me laugh and smile until I was blue in the face. Even now, there's something nostalgic about reading them as a 20 something. As I spent the past few weeks rereading the series from book 1, I realised I still loved hearing about Mia's awkward transformation from a geeky freshman to the independent young woman she becomes at the end of the series. They're a lot of fun!
A Little Princess technically isn't a princess story, since its leading character, Sara Crewe, isn't really a princess, but it's all about maintaining dignity in the face of hardship, like a princess. This is one of my all-time favourite childhood reads, and I used to curl up in bed and read it every winter, since the writing and story lends itself to such an environment. A Little Princess tells the tales of little Sara Crewe, a ten-year old girl, who is left alone at a boarding school by her father who returns to India for business. But soon Sara learns that that her beloved papa has died, leaving her penniless. She arrived at the school in style, but must not suffer at the hands of the wicked headmistress who uses Sara's situation to turn her into a common maid. But Sara maintains faith that things will get better soon. It's a beloved classic with a wonderful cast of characters.
Ella Enchanted is another beloved favourite of mine; I still remember discovering it in my grade 7 teacher's classroom library and devouring it within days. Then, when I saw it in a Scholastic book order a few weeks late, I begged my mom to let me buy my own copy since I loved it so much!
Like many Cinderella retellings, Ella Enchanted tells the tale of young Ella who has been cursed with following everything that people order her to do. This makes for a tricky life, but things get even trickier when her mother dies, and her father remarries to a woman who delights in making Ella do the most horrendous things. When the prince of the kingdom professes love to her, Ella is commanded to turn him away, even though she longs to accept him.
Much newer than all the others, Cinder was sure to become a favourite of mine when I heard that it was a Cinderella/Sailor Moon retelling! Growing up in the 90s, I was a hardcore Sailor Moon fan, and when I first heard of Meyer's idea to combine the popular fandom with the classic fairytale, I was SO excited.
Cinder tells the tale of cyborg girl who lives in New Beijing, Cinder. She's looked down upon by her stepsisters and stepmother for being part-cyborg, and is thus excluded from just about everything. But Cinder can't help but feel drawn to Prince Kai, prince of the New Commonwealth, who equally seems interested in her. It's a fun story filled with wicked stepmothers, dreamy princes, cyborgs, and lost princesses. A great combination of the two tales! Check out my full review here.
So this is more of a series, rather than one single book; The Royal Diaries was a series of diaries told through the voices of princesses from around the world. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with this series (given my obsession with princesses, can you blame me? lol). I remember begging my mom for all of them, but I think I only ended up buying a few of them. What was great about them was that they were told through the voices of the princesses when they were early teens and so as a kid, I loved having an 'exclusive' look into their lives. Plus, given my love of history, these were super fun!
So that's a short list of some the stories about princesses that I've read and loved. Given my love of fairy tales as a kid, I grew up continuing to love modern retellings of princess stories, and searched for them in everything I read, whether it was modern, historical or a classic. This was seen in the first story I ever wrote, Annia, a Cinderella retelling that I wrote when I was 10, filled with a handsome prince, an innocent girl, and a classic rags-to-riches story. If you are so inclined, you can check out the first 2
cheesy wonderful chapters under the Writing>Fiction tab up above. 🙂
Thanks for reading,

Why trying to recover from a headache this morning I ended up watching, listening really, to a bad PPV movie called "The Protector" starring Tony Jaa. The way dish was promoting this you'd think he was the next best action movie star to Jet Li. No where close. I wouldn't spend your money on "The Protector" if I was you. Of course the good thing about this movie is I didn't mind missing most of it 'cause my eyes were closed.

speaking of headaches, I listened to a BAD action movie this morning starring Tony Jaa
By AhHa on Tuesday 20 February 2007, 10:53
Ahhh, I wish I had some placebonol this morning.
By AhHa on Tuesday 20 February 2007, 10:47
Crap, I woke up with a headache early this morning.
Last night I had some tasty homemade green chile chicken noodle soup. Then I proceeded to not drink enough water before I went to bed. I even remember thinking I'm going to get a headache in the middle of the night. Why you ask, well probably not, 'cause I doubt anyone has actually read my blatherings, but I digress. We start off our homemade green chile chicken noodle soup with canned chicken broth, which is loaded with salt. Now over the years I've come to realize that if I don't drink enough water after eating this tasty soup I'll wake up with a headache. So I didn't drink enough water and no surprise to me I awoke at 200am with a nasty headache.
So a couple ibuprofen tablets , a couple cups of coffee and a couple of hours of closed eyes pretty much remedied my headache.
To bad placebonol doesn't work the way I want it to. :-)

satellite, FTA
By AhHa on Sunday 18 February 2007, 16:12
I been playing around in the satellite FTA arena. If you don't know what FTA is, it's Free To Air, this means satellite channels available in the clear. These aren't Dish or DirectTV, so you need a FTA receiver with a bigger dish than the regular pizza pan sized Dish or DirecTV dishes, but not one of the huge 2-3meter dishes. Anyway, this is not a complete discussion on FTA.
I have multiple dishes, old DirecWay and Starchoice, pointing at various satellites. I use dual output LNBs so I can connect 2 receivers, well at least that was the idea. When I connected the second receiver a month or so ago, there was wierd switching issues between the two receivers. I had each receiver connected to a 4x1 Diseqc switch then the outputs of the Diseqc going into 2x1 22KHz tone switches, this way I could support multiple LNBs. Yes, I know I could just get a motor and move one dish around, but I have the room for multiple dishes and I'm getting the DirecWay dishes for free. Besides I want "instant" channel switching, don't want to wait for the dish to move. Anyway yesterday I took the time to clean up my satellite cabling morass which had evolved, most properly devolved over time. I replaced the separate 2x1 22KHz tone switches with used 4x4 multiswitches I bought off of eBay. Man what a difference, now do I no longer have conflicts between the receivers, but now I can support up to 4 receivers. Also, the signal & quality levels went up a tiny bit which tells me the electronics in the multiswitch are probably a little better.
For what it's worth I think I had a ground loop issue between the discrete 2x1 22KHz tone switches, replacing them with the 4x4 multiswitch got me back to a common ground.

Things to waste your time.
By AhHa on Saturday 17 February 2007, 15:58
Do you have a hard time getting things done because to much stuff interests you? I spend hours reading various technical information web sites, bouncing from subject to subject. This morning I've gone from software defined radio, to whether my FTA receiver can decode 4:2:2, it does. The other day it was investigating diesel repower for a variety of 4 wheel drive vehicles. Do I use a Cummins or an Isuzu? Hmm maybe I can rebuild an old Olds 4.3L V-6 diesel. What vehicle should I repower, when I first started out I wanted to use the Olds 4.3L V-6 diesel in a late 1980's Isuzu Trooper, now I'm leaning towards either the Cummins or Isuzu in a late 1980's / early 1990's Toyota Land cruiser.
I won't even go into the time I spend thinking about my next investment.
First entry, let's see what comes of it.
By AhHa on Saturday 17 February 2007, 15:47
During a fit of inspiration the other morning I decided to activate the blog for placebonol.com. My thoughts are I will comment about stuff when they are really bothering me. Kind of like an online journal, but not, but maybe, but .....

Ganges #2 (2008) page 3. Kevin Huizenga.
Comics' panel-by-panel mode of presentation is incredibly effective at sucking people in. The simple fact that we say we "read" comics when we describe following strings of pictures attests to how strong a tool for immersion sequencing is. And it's especially strong when we step back for a moment and think about just how weird, how alien cartoons look. A single panel of a comic, especially one drawn with the blend of simplification and exaggeration that forms the look of newspaper strips and many alternative comics, is as much a conceptual statement about form as a depictive drawing. Where the real depiction comes into play is with the sequencing, which turns cartoons from abstractions into living vehicles for movement and action.
Kevin Huizenga is one of the cartoonists whose work addresses comics' conflict between the abstract and the literal most frequently and interestingly. Huizenga's attempts at using comics to mimic the visual effect of video games are especially notable: rather than creating the simulacrum of reality that the vast majority of comics do, what is brought forth instead is a simulacrum of a simulacrum, a copy of a copy, something already abstract abstracted further, its ties to reality stressed and stretched about as close to the breaking point as they can go.
Huizenga's departure from reality is a highly attractive one for a few reasons beyond the usual -- though certainly still valid -- comics-are-supposed to-be-escapism chestnut. It's a mental workout, something more engaging (even edifying) than the passive reception most comics allow their readers. In order to glean meaning from the sequenced shapes and symbols on this page, the reader is forced to consider the specifics of what's going on from panel to panel, to reconstruct the oblique narrative with each new picture. Sometimes comics give readers too much, making the words and pictures blur into the indistinguishable mass called "story" without first being recognized for what they are. With pictures like Huizenga's, which give us nothing more real than a horizon line, the immediate effect is that of drawings rather than narrative. It's a gradual process to piece this page together into an uninterrupted sequence, which means readers have that much more time to spend with the crisp lines and radically unfamiliar forms Huizenga builds with.
More than that, though, Huizenga uses his unfamiliar symbols to create a true fantasy comic, something not held by our world. Here, abstraction is an excuse for the artist to draw whatever he wants as much as anything else, and Huizenga's imagination is up to the challenge. Every new panel holds something completely unexpected when what's going on is divorced from reality: forms explode, recombine, sprout new appendages, and perform the violent physical interaction so native to comics in a way that can't quite be fully understood. (Though the sunset in the final three panels does inject a perverse logic into the sequence by evoking the world's single most inevitable, basic process, the passage of solar time.) On this page, Huizenga creates a world that is completely under his control, subject not even to the basic laws of physics and logic, only to the imagination propelling it. It reminds us of a basic truth of comics: anything the artist can dream can be drawn. Just put it in sequence.
