Published at Monday, December 18th, 2017 - 02:06:55 AM. Bedding. By Darcel Leroux.
When decorating with modern style bedding, especially with bold colors and geometrics, it is very important to keep a modern, uncluttered look in the bedroom. Avoid mixing modern linens with antique furnishings- the effect will simply not look attractive. Keep your other items organized and mostly out of site as well to keep with the theme.
The people who have them will talk about the duvet, a very common luxury bed linen, as if everyone has one. Since that's not the case, it should be mentioned that the duvet basically replaces comforter and sheets. Because of this, don't pay too much attention to how many pieces come in a particular set. The contents themselves are far more important than if there's seven, eight, or five pieces. Also, be aware that sets that come with duvets are often flatter and lighter than the cheaper ones with comforters, since the duvet itself replaces both, and the down that it's made of is quite thin, but effective. Of course, other extras will also affect the total package.

About the talk
Hearing and balance together provide us with a sense of self within our world, allowing us to connect with and navigate through our environment and to interact and socially connect with people. Disruption of these sensory systems affects our ability to perform these critical functions, which can have profound effects on physical and mental wellness.
Hearing loss and tinnitus affects between 10 and 18 percent of the population. Similarly disorders of balance are more common than we often imagine, affecting four out of 10 people in some way. Maintaining good brain health as we age continues to be important as hearing and balance deficits are increasingly being shown to be risk factors for developing dementia.
Professor Thorne will describe new approaches to diagnose, treat or prevent these conditions, to understand more about how these conditions affect brain health as we age. He'll discuss their impact on people, families and whanau, and potential to develop policy for better service delivery, early detection and interventions.

10 Great Sites That Use WordPress as a CMS
Sometimes, it's difficult to tell is a site is a blog or a site built with blogging software. Because users can extend the WordPress software to function as so much more than just a blog, people refer to WordPress as a CMS (content management system) rather than merely a blogging platform.
Harvard Gazette
The Harvard Gazette, on first glance, looks like an online magazine of articles, resources, and information. Dig a little deeper and you find that it's a website rich in multimedia offerings, such as videos and photography. All these additions provide a beautiful accent to the written content.
Included in the Harvard Gazette website is an extensive calendar of events that is updated routinely and offers the visitor a glimpse into the types of events — giving visitors the ability to add the event to their own calendars with applications from Facebook, Google, Yahoo!, Apple iCal, and more.
If you take away one idea from this site, it's the use of category archiving coupled with fully customizing the different category templates. This touch creates an interesting and clean browsing experience.
IconDock is a website created by the folks from N.Design Studio and is a perfect example of using WordPress as an online shop. IconDock has a fully functional and easy-to-navigate e-commerce shop where visitors can purchase high-quality designed icons and graphics.
If you use one good idea from IconDock, make it the site's smart use of a great WordPress plugin to power its online shop. The plugin is called WP e-Commerce. You can install the plugin on any WordPress-powered website, and you immediately have a state-of-the-art e-commerce platform that allows you to host a full-featured shopping cart. Very professional! The possibilities of this plugin are endless.
Mosaic Consulting, Inc.
Mosaic Consulting is a small legal IT consulting company whose work spans the globe. Mosaic chose WordPress as a CMS because of the software's flexibility and extensibility.
The company doesn't run a blog on its site. Instead, it offers an unlimited number of static pages on the site — pages that someone created without ever having to touch a piece of the underlying code in the theme (that's the WordPress way).
The site also uses WordPress categories and subcategories in a nice, dynamic navigation menu that takes visitors through the various sections of the site. The different layouts for individual pages and categories are accomplished through use of custom page and category templates within the WordPress theme.
Glad uses WordPress to power its website. It uses the custom page templates to drive unique layouts for different pages of the site, like the Trash page and the Food Storage page. Glad also takes advantage of the custom post type feature in WordPress to power its special offers page, where visitors can enter to win sweepstakes, find coupons, or locate deals.
Visitors can register for a user account on the Glad website by either entering all of their details (name, email, etc.) or by using their Facebook account to authenticate their information. Once visitors have registered, they can sign up to receive notifications about special offers and deals about Glad products.
Not Your Average Joe's
Not Your Average Joe's is a restaurant chain with locations in Massachusetts, Maryland, and Virginia. The restaurant uses the WordPress Multisite feature to create a full network of sites that spotlights all of its different locations. Each location has a unique site, blog, menu listing, reservation system, and more. For example, have a look at the main site for the restaurant chain, along with the Acton location site. You can see that the theme is similar on the main site and location sites, but the content changes. Each location manager has her own login and access to the location she manages and can maintain the content there independently.
Streamy Awards
In case you've ever found yourself wondering "Hmm, do they have an awards program for online web television programming?" — well, yes, they do! The Streamy Awards is a website and organization dedicated to honoring excellence in the field of original web television programming.
This organization is no joke, either. Past winners include industry greats such as Felicia Day, Joss Whedon, William Shatner, Rosario Dawson, Alex Albrecht, Zadi Diaz, Jane Espenson, Neil Patrick Harris, Paul Rudd, and Ronald D. Moore.
The Streamy Awards website, powered by WordPress, of course, mixes up traditional written content with multimedia offerings such as videos and a live streaming of its annual Streamy Awards show, available on demand. Visitors to the Streamy Awards website can participate in some of the following activities:
Vote for the Audience Choice award for your favorite online television programming.
Watch videos from last year's event, including acceptance speeches, photo montages, and more.
View or download Streamy media to various mobile devices (iPhone, BlackBerry, Android).
Connect with Streamy through Facebook and Twitter.
MommyCast lives in the genre of mommy blogs — blogs owned and maintained by mothers. But MommyCast takes that concept quite a bit further through its radio program. MommyCast.com is a unique online audio company by and for women who are immersed in the fullness of motherhood and life; the site's motto is "Holding the world together, one child at a time." MommyCast offers interviews with people on topics that encompass all things having to do with motherhood.
Joelle Reeder of Moxie Design Studios, the design brain behind the MommyCast brand, had this to say about the decision to use WordPress as the CMS for the project: "The MommyCast show has sponsors who use WordPress, so it was a natural choice for them to go in the same direction. The people behind the project also have used WordPress in the past and were very familiar with the platform."
Joelle also implemented a really neat way to bring some visual vitality to each post through image thumbnailing, combined with Custom Fields, that lets them insert small images into each post that calls attention to not only the post but also the post topic. These Custom Fields are called callouts, and they draw the eye in and make you pay attention.
Mendocino Beauty
This website is a professional business website for the beauty and skincare studio, Mendocino Beauty. Powered by WordPress, the site contains a blog. However, the blog isn't front and center as you see with a lot of WordPress installations. Instead, you're met with a beautifully designed front page that invites you into its site by providing you with navigation links to the different areas and offerings.
If you take away anything from this site, make it the use of its Look Book — a full photo gallery powered by a nifty WordPress plugin called NextGEN Gallery by plugin author Alex Rabe. The plugin was developed for the WordPress platform, and it allows you to create an unlimited number of photo albums and galleries for your website. You can check out, and download, the NextGEN Gallery in the official WordPress Plugin Directory.
John James Jacoby
John James Jacoby is one of two core developers on the BuddyPress team. He is a specialist in new media development and design, and he runs a very simple but elegant online portfolio with WordPress. This website doesn't contain a blog. What you will find is a gallery of work and projects that he has been directly involved with.
Additionally, you will find a few static pages that John uses to publish a short bio, information about his rates, and an explanation of the services he offers.
WebDevStudios is the website of the VIP WordPress consultants, in addition to being the studio co-owned by Lisa Sabin-Wilson. The WebDevStudios site is also a pretty stunning example of what you can do with the Twenty Ten WordPress theme.
Features and design elements that really stick out as you browse through its website include the following:
The navigation menu: Just one look at its navigation menu isn't enough. Hover your mouse pointer over some of the links to see the hard work that went into building a rich navigation experience for visitors. The menu is enormous, yet very clean, easy to read, and easy to navigate.
A featured content slideshow: At the top of the front page, underneath the logo and menu, WebDevStudios displays some of its more prominent content wrapped in a dynamic slideshow via the WP Nivo Slider plugin, which you can find in the Plugin Directory. This slideshow brings your most treasured content front and center to share with your visitors.
Social media integration: WebDevStudios integrates its Twitter account prominently by posting its most recent tweets from the WebDevStudios Twitter page. Additionally, you can easily find WebDevStudios on other social networks, such as Facebook and Flickr, through the use of social media icons found firmly planted at the top-left corner of every page of its website.
A static front page with internal blog: If you're interested in using a static page as the front page of your website and including a blog as part of an internal section, rather than the main page, check out the WebDevStudios site for a solid example of this technique in practice.

Ed Sheeran offering fans the chance to win backstage guitar lesson
Ed Sheeran has offered to fly one lucky fan to a gig in America for a private backstage guitar lesson.
The Thinking Out Loud singer has offered the prize as part of a contest designed to raise funds for Drop4Drop, a charity that aims to provide access to clean water to people around the world.
Explaining his plans for the winner in a YouTube video, the 27-year-old said: "The prize is I will teach you to play one of my songs on guitar, and then you'll get a guitar that I'll sign and give to you after the lesson.
"The lesson will take place backstage at my gig at MetLife Stadium (New Jersey). So you'll also get to go to that gig. I will pay for you to be there, so I'll fly you out to New York, cover your hotel and give you tickets to the show."
Fans can enter the competition by making a donation between $10 and $100 to
Drop4Drop via the organisation's page on the fundraising site RallyUp.com – with those who give larger sums entered more times.
The lucky fan will head backstage at the gig, part of Ed's ÷ (divide) Tour, in September and receive VIP tickets to watch him perform.
His fellow British singer Adele also helped raise awareness for the charitable drive, which helps fund wells, water receptacles, other sanitation projects, and hygiene education, by retweeting a link directing fans to the contest.

A few weeks ago, I joined some of my favorite girls - Lauren, Molly, Carrie, Jennie, and Kathleen - for a fun night out in Fort Worth. We started with a wine tasting at Times Ten Cellars.
Carrie was a complete trooper and busted out the pump for a mid-wine-tasting session. #pumpanddump
After enjoying all the fabulous wines, we got a tour of the facilities.
(Molly had to leave before the tour, so I didn't manage to capture her in any pictures. Sorry, Molls!)
Can you tell that we were a wee bit tipsy by this point?!
Times Ten is in the "West 7th" section of Fort Worth, which is totally different than when I was at TCU. It is such a neat area, and you can walk to all kinds of restaurants and bars.
So, after our wine tasting, we enjoyed a casual dinner on the patio at Social House. Then we strolled down to Eddie V's for dessert...and more wine. One of my guy friends from high school is the Executive Chef, and we let him crash the girls' night for a bit.
I had such a wonderful night with these lovely ladies.
Shout out to Kathleen for letting us crash at her house after all that fun, and thanks to Josh for holding down the fort at home!

Niconico (http://www.nicovideo.jp/), formerly known as Nico Nico Douga is a Japanese video sharing site similar to Youtube managed by Niwango, a subsidiary of Dwango. As of December 2014, Niconico is the ninth most visited site in Japan. It has a unique comment system where the comments are overlaid directly over the video, synced to a specific video playback time. The site is known for its anime related content and memes. The video files are H.264 with AAC audio, there is currently no support for HTML5 video and users must be registered and signed in to watch (or download) videos. Due to the limited server capacity, Niconico restricts access to the website to free users at peak times (7 p.m. to 2 a.m.) by forcing them to stream lower quality versions of videos or blocking access entirely to newly registered users. An English-language version was added on October 17, 2012, replacing the Niconico.com website, featuring a new player and translation tools allowing users to translate video descriptions into English or Chinese.
- nicovideo-dl is a small command-line program (similar to youtube-dl) to download videos from www.nicovideo.jp. It is implemented in Python. It is platform-independent and should work on Unix/Windows/Mac.
- Nicofox NicoFox is a Mozilla Firefox extension for video website Nico Nico Douga. It contains a Download Manager, which can download videos from the website with their comments. (Nicofox will burn in comments into the video file with no way to watch the saved video with comments disabled, if that feature is enabled. Not recommended for serious archival.)
There are several other generic scripts and browser extension that can download videos from video sharing sites that will work with Niconico, but they can't download videos with the comments overlaid over the video.
Recommended way to archive niconico videos using nicovideo-dl
This method will require you to have an account registered on niconico. To get the highest quality video possible, you will need either need to buy a premium subscription (540 yen a month) or only download videos outside of the peak times (7pm - 2am JST). One way to tell if you're getting the higher quality download is that they usually have a .mp4 extension, whereas lower-quality downloads result in a .flv file.
nicovideo-dl --username "YOUR-USERNAME" --password "YOUR-PASSWORD" --get-comment --raw-comment --title http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm20338084
This will grab the video and the comment XML file. The XML file can be converted into an ASS subtitle file compatible with most video players using the danmaku2ass script by m13253.
Site reconnaissance
"As of October 31, 2011, Niconico has over 23,690,000 registered users, 6,870,000 mobile users and 1,390,000 premium users."
Vital signs
Seems stable.

HTML stands for Hypertext markup language. It is a markup language that makes the communication of different devices possible on the web. With HTML you describe what a page should look similar to, what types of fonts to utilize, what color text should be in, where paragraph marks come and many more aspects of the document. The word Hypertext refers to the ability of the HTML language to link other pages to a page. So the ability of creating links to the other pages and web resources is Hypertext. Markup means that it is used to create pages of formatted text along with photos and other media embedded in the page.(HTML is the base for CSS to work See CSS Tricks)
HTML was originally based on an old markup language called SGML. SGML stands for Standard Generalized Markup language. Now the HTML is no more tied with SGML. Hyperlinks are what make the web go round. Html makes different computers, on different networks using different operating systems, and devices to communicate with each other.
Html is, you can say, a browser based language which runs on all modern browsers. All the versions of HTML are supported in all the modern browsers. There is a quirks mode that renders all things like Html. Things will appear differently in every browser in the quirks mode. It is necessary to use good and clean Html code to avoid the quirks mode in a browser. Html 2.0 was endorsed in 1995. It was the first standardized version of HTML. HTML 3.2 was the first version that was ratified by the World Wide Web.
A complete html document has several important tags in it. There are some tags without which the HTML document is incomplete. In the following code we are going to show you some of the important tags with some not important tags.
<!DOCTYPE html> <!– this is the way to comment in an HTML document –> <html lang='en'> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8″ /> <title> HTML Document Structure From howtocode.pk </title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" HREF="main.css" /> </head> <body> <h1> HTML Document Structure from howtocode.pk </h1> <p> This is a simple HTML document. </p> </body> </html>
In this code the first line "<!DOCTYPE html>" is used to tell the browser that what version of the HTML will be for the rest of the elements of the page. It looks like a simple DOCTYPE declaration as compare to the older versions of the HTML. This declaration is used in HTML5. In older version like html 4 the DOCTYPE declaration is much more complicated which includes a DTD and things like that. Because Html is now divorced from SGML so we don't need a DTD and it is not a valid thing to do. The use of this is to tell the browser to don't use the quirks mode, use the standard mode.
"<!DOCTYPE html>" should be the first line of the html document. Even before any white space or a comment. If it isn't than it will work in some browsers and will not in some others. Like in Internet Explorer it will fall back into the quirks mode.
The next line is a comment in HTML document. It starts with an angle bracket and than an exclamation mark than two dashes and than your comment, at the end two dashes and a right angle bracket. Multiple spaces or lines are allowed in comments but there should not be the ending two dashes more than one time. Otherwise it will cause your page to malfunction.
After the comment the DOM Tree starts also called the DOM model or Document Object Model. In the beginning we have an angle bracket "<" and the word html and then the language or other attributes then the ending angle bracket ">". At the end same tag with a slash at the beginning showing that it is the end tag. In between the html tags is the whole page.
The html tag has two sibling children's as head and body tags. The head tag contains the head part of the document like Meta information, title of the page and an external style sheet named "main.css". The body tag contains the body part like the h1 or heading tag and the paragraph or p tag.

One of the most rewarding parts of the Internet of Things for us is to bring the power of communications, efficiency and productivity to our customer base.
Topcon Precision Agriculture
Topcon Precision Agriculture
Transforming agribusiness with automated efficiency
Topcon embraces IoT to bring the power of communications, efficiency and productivity to the farming industry
Topcon enhances service offerings with IoT
Connected devices are becoming increasingly important on the farm, giving farmers the data necessary to track productivity of their equipment, review operator performance and manage fleets of agricultural machinery. Topcon works directly with farmers to give them the metrics needed to increase efficiency in the field. The company also engages with agricultural equipment manufacturers, embedding telematics systems into vehicle platforms, giving operators access to data related to their vehicles' performance and productivity.
With Cisco Jasper, Topcon packages its solutions with the full array of services, helping farmers get the maximum performance from their equipment, reduce operating costs and secure their resources and assets.
Topcon Precision Agriculture uses IoT to Help Growers Optimize Operations
Despite being one of the world's oldest industries, agriculture is rapidly embracing the innovations of IoT as an enabler for automation and process control. Bigger and stronger machines with GPS-based autonomous steering are replacing smaller, less efficient implements, and sophisticated precision equipment sensors relay information to help increase farms' productivity, reduce operating costs and secure assets.
Topcon Positioning Systems provides positioning technologies that serve a variety of industries, including farmers, surveyors, civil engineers and construction companies. Its agricultural business unit focuses primarily on applying innovative GNSS and satellite-based telematics solutions to solve field-specific problems.
"Agriculture and growing crops is a very difficult business because farmers are fighting the weather," explains Michael Gomes, Vice President of Business Development at Topcon Precision Agriculture, the agricultural business unit at Topcon. "Farmers need to react to challenges very quickly, and they do it best when they have good communication and feedback."
Connected devices are becoming increasingly important on the farm, especially during peak times when equipment must work around the clock and achieving maximum productivity is crucial.
"Communication between tractors, implements and other machines is becoming the driver of metrics and efficiency in the field," explains Gomes. Using the instantaneous information available to them, farmers can compare the productivity of different pieces of equipment, review operators' performance, measure efficiency for the amount of input, and manage their fleets of agricultural machinery.
Topcon has been using the Cisco Jasper platform since 2009.
"Control Center has enabled us to provide telematics solutions—everything from basic fleet management and logging, all the way up to dashboarding, operator qualifications and metrics, quality metrics, as well as process improvement," says Gomes.
He recalls that originally Topcon didn't consider itself a service company, but over time the company's management came to realize that product focus alone wasn't going to ensure Topcon's success in the competitive market. "You need products packaged with the service to help customers use the products more effectively," Gomes explains.
In addition to working with farmers, Topcon engages directly with agricultural equipment manufacturers, embedding telematics systems into vehicle platforms and giving operators access to specialized metrics related to their vehicles' performance and productivity.
"It has become a multi-tiered business," adds Gomes. "The information has value to both the end user and the local service provider or distributor who services and supports the equipment. It also has value to the original equipment manufacturer."
An example of such a multi-tiered value chain is Tierra—a designer of tailored telematics solutions and a joint venture between Topcon Positioning Systems and Divitech.
"We have a telematics device embedded in a product, which sells in 194 countries worldwide," explains Fabio Isaia, CEO of Tierra. "IoT has brought life to many devices on vehicles that we are tracking. It allows the connection of many different elements, bringing more and more information, which opens up new business opportunities."
Isaia stresses the value of automation in Control Center for Tierra's operations: "It allows us to control connected devices on the cellular network everywhere in the world." Isaia emphasizes that for Tierra working with IoT is primarily about providing valuable, actionable data for the customer.
"IoT brings information," he says. "One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is to be able to harness this information and tailor a service for a customer that gives them access to the data they never even knew they needed, and then use this data to help generate more profit for their business."
Gomes credits automation and Control Center with helping streamline Topcon's operations and create additional value for the customer. He describes running Topcon before Control Center as living in the analog world:
"It was a lot of point-to-point communication and things were quite a bit more manual. With Control Center, we've likened it to the digital world. We have a lot more interconnectivity, and more importantly, we have the ability to both measure and manage productivity of the assets. It's been truly enabling to us to deliver value to our customer base."
Delivering better communication, efficiencies and productivity to farmers around the world
Topcon is rapidly expanding into developing markets, bringing critical positioning technology to vast mega-farms that operate large equipment fleets. The company relies on Control Center to get information from multiple vehicle platforms to measure the effectiveness of equipment in the field.
Having precise data about every piece of machinery and being able to measure the return on all inputs and resources used on the farm is helping farm operators around the world see the advantages of IoT and positioning technologies, driving adoption and contributing to Topcon's success in new markets.
"One of the most rewarding parts of the Internet of Things for us is really bringing the power of communications, efficiency and productivity to our customer base," concludes Gomes. "Farmers are the people who fight the weather for a living; and when we can solve real problems and help them become more effective in managing assets, as well as more productive with those assets and resources, that affects their profitability. And in doing so, it helps grow their business."
Gomes believes that the industry is only just beginning to understand how to unlock the synergy from parts of complex systems like agriculture and biology through connecting and leveraging them against one another. He views IoT as a discipline still in its infancy, but one that's poised for tremendous success as the agricultural industry continues to go through transformational changes.
"Agriculture is just beginning to see the value in the Internet of Things. The idea that equipment and implements are becoming sophisticated, have sensors and can talk to one another is still rather new," he says.
Gomes believes that the biggest driver for the growth of IoT in agriculture is going to be consumer awareness and desire to know more about the origins of their food, fuel and fibers. As consumers demand more information about where their food and goods come from and whether they're produced in a sustainable way, the agricultural industry will increasingly rely on IoT to showcase the most efficient use of resources.
"Agriculture is a complex business," Gomes says in conclusion. "It's complex because it involves biological systems. We've been provided with a number of resources, and so increasingly it's not just about productivity, but also about sustainability—being able to show consumers that we can produce the food they need in a way that benefits our society today and tomorrow."

ROBERT PLANT To Guest On New PRIMAL SCREAM Album
LED ZEPPELIN frontman Robert Plant has recorded guest vocals for the new album from British modern rockers PRIMAL SCREAM, due in 2013.
Speaking to Mojo magazine, Plant said he wants to carry on singing, but doesn't want to start a new band or make a full album. He said: "Everything we did back in those days and everything I have done since has been based on a fresh approach. What's going on? What can I be as a singer that doesn't play much? That's how I see everything: what can I be a part of that's exciting? And if anybody's got any ideas, then I'm always up for it." He added: "I sang a bit on the PRIMAL's stuff because I think their references on looking back on the glorious past and the way they bring them into the contemporary world are fantastic."
Plant previously played harmonica on PRIMAL SCREAM's 2002 song "The Lord Is My Shotgun", which was featured on the band's "Evil Heat" album.

tended to deal otherwise than he might obtain her favour so to do' (ib. p.528). He was ordered to return to court, but pleaded the excuse of illness, and, after thus giving Elizabeth every ground for suspicion, at last returned humbly on 2 Oct., to be met with the intimation that he must consider himself a prisoner at Paul Wentworth's house at Burnham.
Elizabeth at first thought of bringing him to trial for treason, but this was too hardy a measure in the uncertain state of public opinion. Norfolk was still confident in the power of his personal popularity, and was astonished when on 8 Oct. he was taken to the Tower. His friends in the council were straitly examined, and his party dwindled away. No decisive evidence was found against him, but the rising of the north in November showed Elizabeth how great had been her danger. Norfolk wrote from the Tower, assuring Elizabeth that he never dealt with any of the rebels, but he continued in communication with Mary, who after the collapse of the rising caught more eagerly at the prospect of escaping from her captivity by Norfolk's aid. She wrote to him that she would live and die with him, and signed herself 'yours faithful to death.' But Norfolk remained a prisoner till times were somewhat quieter, and was not released till 3 Aug. 1570, when he was ordered to reside in his own house at the Charterhouse, for fear of the plague. He had previously made submission to the queen, renouncing all purpose of marrying Mary, and promising entire fidelity.
It would have been well for Norfolk if he had kept his promise, and had recognised that he had failed. He resumed his old position, and was still looked up to with respect as the head of the English nobility. Many still thought that his marriage with Mary was possible, but Norfolk had learned that it would never be with Elizabeth's consent. The failure of previous endeavours had drawn Mary's partisans more closely together, and now they looked for help solely to the Spanish king. This was not what Norfolk had intended when first he conceived his marriage project; but he could not let it drop, and slowly drifted into a conspirator. He conferred with Ridolfi, and heard his plan for a Spanish invasion of England; he gave his sanction to Ridolfi's negotiations, and commissioned him to act as his representative with Philip II. He afterwards denied that he had done this in any formal way, but the evidence is strong against him. (His instructions to Ridolfi are in Labanoff, Lettres de Marie Stuart, iii. 236, &c., from the Vatican archives, and Froude, History of England, ch. xx., gives them from the Simancas archives, as well as a letter sent in cipher by the Spanish ambassador.) The discovery of Ridolfi's plot was due to a series of accidents; but Norfolk's complicity was discovered by the indiscretion of his secretary, Higford, who entrusted to a Shrewsbury merchant a bag of gold containing a ciphered letter. Cecil was informed of this fact on 1 Sept., and extracted from Higford enough information to show that Norfolk was corresponding with Mary and her friends in Scotland. Norfolk's servants were imprisoned, threatened with torture, and told much that increased Cecil's suspicions. Norfolk was next examined, prevaricated, and cut a poor figure. He was committed to the Tower on 5 Sept., and the investigation was steadily pursued till the evidence of Norfolk's complicity with Ridolfi had become strong, and the whole history of Norfolk's proceedings was made clear. Elizabeth saw how little she could count on the English nobility, who were all anxious for the settlement of the succession, and were in some degree or other on Mary's side. It was resolved to read them a lesson by proceeding against Norfolk, who was brought to trial for high treason on 16 Jan. 1572. The procedure, according to the custom of the time, was not adapted to give the accused much chance of pleading. He was not allowed to have counsel, or even a copy of the indictment, nor were the witnesses against him produced in court. Their evidence was read and commented upon by skilled lawyers; the accused was left to deal with it as best he could. His conviction was inevitable, and sentence of death was pronounced against him. From the Tower he wrote submissive letters to the queen, owning that he had grievously offended, but protesting his substantial loyalty. Elizabeth, always averse to bloodshed, for a long time refused to carry out the sentence; but her negotiations for a French treaty and a marriage with Alençon required that she should act with vigour. Parliament petitioned for the death of Mary and of Norfolk, and at last, on 2 June 1572, Norfolk was executed on Tower Hill. He spoke to the people, and maintained his innocence; he said 'that he was never a papist since he knew what religion meant.' It is quite probable that he was sincere in his utterances; he called John Foxe, who had dedicated to him in 1559 the first version (in Latin) of his martyrology, to console him in his last days, and bequeathed him a legacy of 20l. a year. But Norfolk was not a clear-headed man, and was not conscious of the bearing of his acts. He floated with the stream, trusting to his own good fortune and to his

Description of reference conditions for restoration projects of riparian vegetation from the species-rich fynbos biome
When considering revegetation strategies for particular restoration projects, data on community composition and structure should, whenever possible, be obtained from reference sites. Revegetation is an important restoration strategy especially since riverbanks that have been cleared of alien vegetation are extremely susceptible to erosion. The presence of lateral zonation in riparian vegetation is well documented: flooding events shape the vegetation on riverbanks and the zones that are inundated annually have different vegetation than those that are inundated interannually. This can be referred to as the demerse ecotope, or Wet Bank, and the emerse ecotope, or Dry Bank, and these zones can also be further subdivided. There is a need for species descriptions from undisturbed riparian zones to guide post-project appraisal and revegetation strategies, especially in areas with high species turnover like the fynbos biome. Braun-Blanquet vegetation belt transects were sampled on five undisturbed rivers that originate in the Hottentots Holland mountain range. Relevés were sampled from as many Wet Bank and Dry Bank subzones as were present in each case. Twenty-six riparian communities were recognized, which were clustered into ten community Groups based on physical bank attributes. The most dominant species for each of these community types have been listed in a synoptic table that can be used for revegetation purposes. It is recommended that revegetation plans make use of a mixture of the listed species, whilst maintaining separation of Wet and Dry Bank species. Prior to species selection, it is necessary to assess the range of riparian habitats available in the project reach. Though revegetation is more expensive than allowing for natural recruitment, recent evidence has shown that recovery of the natural vegetation without intervention may be limited, and not without risks. Revegetation may be a cheaper strategy in the long term, avoiding the maintenance costs that are required to stabilize banks and to remove re-invading alien species. © 2008 SAAB.

3.2 Absolutist Claims
< 3.1 Basic Definitions | AnalyseIndex | 3.3 Friend/Enemy Stereotypes >
Extremist thought structures need absolutist and exclusivist claims "like addicts need their drugs". 12 The claim to be an exceptional elite with an intellectual and moral apparatus superior to that of others and capable of solving the world's most urgent problems is very pronounced in the LO and forms a constant in its development. This also explains the group's inherent inability to realize its potentials strategically in the long term because the self-appointment as savior of the world and of Western civilization sooner or later scares off even sympathetic supporters.

An application programming interface (API) is code that allows two software programs to communicate with each other.

March 1, 2019, 11:38 pmVince CarterG/F, Atlanta Hawks
Vince Carter scored 13 points to go with three 3s, seven rebounds, a steal and a block in Friday's 4OT loss to the Bulls and he became the oldest player ever to play more than 44 minutes in a game (44:53).
Carter continues to surprise even at 42 years of age and we hope he'll stick around next season as he's still a pleasure to watch. He's been outside the top-200 all season so he's not an option for fantasy however.

December 14, 2019, 11:47 amMatisse ThybulleSG-SF, Philadelphia Sixers
Matisse Thybulle's improvement as a 3-and-D wing has helped him regain a role in the Sixers' rotation and the team is counting on him to keep it.
Thybulle is shooting 58% from three in December and his minutes have crept up to 25 per game in the last two weeks, during which he's been a top-80 player. Naturally, the hot shooting from deep will stabilize and he'll have bad stretches on defense, where he's being given the freedom to gamble, often leading to foul trouble. That said, Thybulle only needs 25 minutes to hit value and Keith Pompey of the Inquirer notes that the team is 15-1 in games where he meets that minute mark. There are few free agent options in fantasy leagues with easier paths to top 100 value and Thybulle has already played his way into and end-of-bench spot in fantasy squads with his recent output.

December 14, 2019, 11:42 amTyrone WallaceSG, Atlanta Hawks
The Hawks have waived Tyrone Wallace.
With the Hawks finally at full health, the versatile Wallace is the odd man out. He appeared in 14 games for the Hawks this year averaging 2.9 points in 11.5 minutes, shooting a dreadful 31.8 percent from the field although it is hard to get into a rhythm with playing time as inconsistent as it was. We wouldn't be surprised if he latched on with another NBA team at some point this season but he shouldn't make any noise in fantasy.

December 14, 2019, 11:31 amBam AdebayoC, Miami Heat
Bam Adebayo's breakout season has begun to be noticed by opposing coaches and league executives, and he is garnering buzz as an All-Star reserve.
Of course, Adebayo would have to contend with the likes of Joel Embiid, Andre Drummond and Nikola Vucevic should he be considered at center, but the Heat's lineups are famously flexible so he could sneak in as a forward. Regardless of his positional eligibility, Bam's has been the most predictable fantasy and real-life breakout in some time, averaging 15.1 points, 10.6 rebounds, a whopping 4.4 assists and almost 3 combined defensive stats on elite field goal percentage. He still has a ways to go from the free throw line and as a shot creator on offense, but we're seeing some of that develop over the past two weeks which have seen his scoring inch closer to the 20s and his free throw percentage approach respectability. His ability as a playmaker and secondary ballhandler is uncanny given his age and position.

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.

FRANKLIN, IND. – Junior guard Adrian Johnson (Indianapolis, Ind.) didn't give the flipping of the calendar a second thought earlier this week.
Manchester University's leading point getter and the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference's second-leading scorer picked up where he left off late in 2017, giving another opponent, this time Franklin College, fits throughout the evening at the Spurlock Center. He tallied 27 points on 10-of-27 shooting which included hitting a three-point bucket and going six-of-eight at the charity stripe while dishing out a team-best five assists and picked up two steals.
Even with his 18th straight double-double scoring total in tow, it wasn't enough to get Coach Gerad Good's team on the winning side of the HCAC standings. The host Grizzlies used a pivotal 10-2 run over the final 4:37 to slip past their guests 73-67.
Junior guard Justin Lukens (Herrin, Ill.) was also in double digits with 10 points, while a third junior guard, Keiton Hall (Lansing, Mich.), helped spark a second-half rally with three treys as part of a nine-point evening.
Manchester University (2-10 overall, 0-5 HCAC) returns home to face off against defending champion and preseason favorite Hanover College Saturday, Jan. 6. Game time is 3 p.m. as part of a doubleheader with the two women's programs.

Dystopian Dream
Dystopian Dream is the brand new production created from a concept originated by Nitin Sawhney and co-devised with Honji Wang and Sébastien Ramirez. This exciting new dance work in which Wang Ramirez direct and perform, is a theatrical realisation of Sawhney's acclaimed 2015 album of the same name.
Taking inspiration from threads woven through Nitin Sawhney's album, this stage interpretation combines choreography, live music and theatre to examine themes of loss, isolation, surrender and continuity. Uniting Wang Ramirez's extremely physical hip hop influenced dance language with Sawhney's iconic music and a live singer, the production will take audiences on a journey through parallel universes and unreal dreams.
Featuring animated projections by Nick Hillel, costumes by Hussein Chalayan, lighting by Natasha Chivers and set by Shizuka Hariu, Dystopian Dream is a stunning visual spectacle and a delight for the eyes as well as the ears.

(To find out about the intention of these lists, visit the first post, Unschooling Tools.)
I've been considering why it is that I like games so much.
It's not as if I suppose that if I don't engage my children in such a way, they'll be non-thinking, drifting, unenthusiastic people. (Though I did ask myself if this were true.)
And it's not solely because they're fun.
I went to Trevelyn to ask him about it.
"I'm writing a post about games, Bud. You like that we play games so much, don't you?"
"What is it that you like about it? About playing games."
"It's... it's the challenge."
"Ah. You mean, you like that it engages your brain and you have to think about something in a different sort of way than usual."
"Yes. Exactly."
Mmhmm. That makes as good of sense as anything, I'd say!
Exercise for the brain. :)
Games had always seemed like a good way to engage my children in mental play. And then I read A Mathematician's Lament by Paul Lockhart.
And I watched John Bennet at a California Homeschooler's conference.
And I saw two mathematician's who believe that mathematics should be about excited logic and thinking, not dreadful, boring -useless- formulas.
And then I knew I was on to something with all that game play. :)
Paul Lockhart's list of games :
Soon after that I was checking out Game Awards... and reading reviews of looooots of different games. And soon thereafter we were spilling out of our shelves.
I should say that game playing in our house is different than it might be in others. I read a review of Quarto a couple of weeks ago, and the reviewer said something like "I don't like this copy! It seems cheap compared to the one I saw years ago... there is no felt on the bottom of the pieces... someone could hand you a piece upside down to cheat, and you wouldn't know!"
I thought, "What in the world? You play with people that cheat? What would be the purpose of that!?!" First of all, the idea of my child or my family needing to cheat in a game is.... very, very odd... secondly, the point is to have fun and be engaged, not to win! Well--usually. ;) (Thirdly, it's a gorgeous game. Not cheap at all. And I can tell when they're upside down.)
So this is how our games go. Once in a while it will be a serious "game on!" play, but most of the time game playing is very gentle...the purpose is to help the children flex their thinking muscles... to develop strategies, to think ahead, to aid them in seeing the game or another's play in a different perspective... they're fun and engaging, not "I'm going to lay you down!" lessons. (Sheesh.)
So when we play, we play more like it's open-ended. When we play the Amazing Mammoth Hunt (world geography), we play until we're getting tired -it's a long game- and then we say "eight more turns for each of us" or something like that.
When we play Apples to Apples, we don't stop at six or whatever it's s'posed to be, we play the same way, "three more rounds!".
In Checkers (Draughts) there are lots of "You sure you wanna do that? Look here." And "Woh. Look carefully. You could do a triple!", if they seem not to see it. If they seem stuck, like they're trapped, "Remember that I can't move this one backwards, yet, so it's safe."
The point is, after all, to have them feel (and Be) competent and strong in their processes and intelligence, not to bully or shame them.
Here are our games.
A couple of these are games we've made up, and a few others are handmade versions of games that inspired us.
I am tempted to mark our favorites, but really all of them have been a favorite at one time or another, so I'll refrain. :) Just keep in mind that if we didn't like the game, it wouldn't be in our list.
'Young' means Maddie (age 6) can play, and has been playing for quite a while, 'Mid' means Trev (age 10) plays, 'Adult' means people with no children might have it in their house.
'Short' length means definitely less than ten minutes. 'Short-mid' means close to ten minutes. 'Mid length' means less than twenty. 'Long' means 'longer'. :)
The links will be either to a page of ours showing how we made it, what it is, or to our Amazon bookstore (for my ease, as they're all in there, and I don't have to search out each one individually.) If there is no link to the game then it's something that can be found in just about any store. For the fancy games (like Quoridor), check your local luxury (high-end, educational) toy shoppe first to see if they carry it and have it for a better price before you buy it on Amazon. I've bought a couple of games locally for cheaper.
Many (most?) of these games are international, Mensa, Dr. Toy, Creative Child, Game Magazine, etc winners. I'm not mentioning specific awards because that would take me forever! :)
Lastly, very common games (Battleship, Scrabble, Yahtzee) are not mentioned in our list, even though we own them, mostly because we we don't enjoy them as much as these others. These listed are in our 'regular play' rotation.
None of these games are in more than one category.

Mr. Harit Nagpal, President of the DTH Operators Association of India and MD & CEO, in response to the proposed increase in Duty on Set Top Boxes from 5 to10 percent, as announced in the Union Budget 2013-14 presented by the finance minister today.
Responding to the increase in import duty on set top boxes from 5 to 10% , Mr. Harit Nagpal, President of the DTH Operators Association of India and MD & CEO, Tata Sky Ltd. said that the DTH industry is already paying 32 % of its revenue as taxes. At a time like this, when the government's Digitization mandate is entering its 2nd phase, the industry requirement is many times normal and there is no local manufacturer of repute who can deliver quality boxes in such quantities . Therefore , this increase seems out of place and in all fairness should be reversed.

Gallstones don't usually cause any symptoms. But if a gallstone blocks one of the bile ducts, it can cause sudden, severe abdominal pain, known as biliary colic.
Gallstones are small stones that form in the gallbladder, a small organ found near the liver.
Gallstones can cause sudden episodes of severe tummy pain. But many people with gallstones have no symptoms.
Gallstones are thought to be caused by too much cholesterol in your gallbladder. Women and people who are overweight or over 40 are most at risk.
Gallstones do not always need to be treated. If they're causing problems, you may need surgery to remove your gallbladder.

Assistant City Manager Kyle Dannhaus reported to the Brenham City Council at today's (Thursday's) meeting that repairing and renovating the restrooms for the live in quarters for the fire department has turned into a much bigger job, costing a lot more money than originally thought.
In a workshop session, Dannhaus said these restrooms were part of the original building, constructed in 1978. He said the normal wear and tear on the floors, walls and fixtures made an extensive renovation necessary and the costs will be well above the $35,000 budgeted for it.
Dannhaus said the current estimates from the local architectural firm of Keese and Associates, indicate the full costs will be much more than that.
City Council member Mary Barnes Tilley asked City Fire Chief Ricky Boeker if there were any accommodations for female firefighters. Boeker said they currently have women firefighters and they simply lock the door when they use the restrooms.
The Brenham City Council will continue the discussion on the fire department's restrooms.
Dannhaus stated that due to the costs involved, the law required the city to employ an architect.

Abstract—In this paper a novel low voltage low power fully differential current buffer with high CMRR is introduced. The proposed current buffer is designed and simulated with HSPICE in TSMC 0.18μm CMOS process and supply voltage of ±0.75V. The simulation results show 39.5Ω and 5.64KΩ differential mode and common mode input resistances respectively. The differential mode input impedance is 142.7 times smaller than the common mode one which is a unique feature. This result is quite significant when it is considered that in the conventional current buffers differential mode input resistance is equal to common mode one. The proposed current buffer exhibits a CMRR of 72.2dB and consumes only 83.9μW. PSRR+ and PSRR- are 160dB and 120dB respectively which make the proposed current buffer very suitable for mixed mode designs. Application of the proposed current buffer as a voltage amplifier is also presented which benefits from the outstanding property of independency of gain from related -3dB bandwidth.
Index Terms—Current mode, low input impedance stage, fully differential current buffer, gain bandwidth independency.
