The Maggini Quartet recorded William Alwyn's complete string quartets, together with Novelette, composed for the same forces. Much of Alwyn's music is still often overlooked. Quartet No.1 (1953) dates from the same period as his rapturous Autumn Legend, his Quartet No. 2 originates from 1975, while Quartet No. 3, his last composition, is from 1983. Britain's multi-award-winning Maggini Quartet, celebrating this year its 20th anniversary, has an outstanding discography on the Naxos label of British music from Arnold to Vaughan Williams.
Sessions took place from December 9 to 11 at Potton Hall, Suffolk, UK. The producer-engineer was Andrew Walton of K&A Productions.

AV-Test Honors 2011's Best Antivirus Tools
Every two months researchers at German antivirus lab AV-Test.org put twenty-odd antivirus tools to the test. They rate each product on its ability to protect against malware attack and to repair a system that's already suffered an attack, and also rate overall usability. Based on all the tests from 2011, AV-Test has identified the top consumer-side and commercial product in each of the three categories.
Product Selection
In order to be considered for this honor, a product must have been involved in all of 2011's certification tests. Among the products not considered due to missing one or more tests were: AVG Free, Comodo, K7, eScan, and Panda Cloud.
AV-Test runs each certification test with the current version of the vendor's product, meaning that most changed from the 2011 edition to the 2012 edition during this series of tests. This is most significant for Webroot. AV-Test evaluated Webroot Internet Security Complete to start with, then switched to the completely different Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete in November.
The Winners
AV-Test recognized Bitdefender as 2011's best product for protection against malware attack. The protection test evaluates the whole product's response to malware incursion via "e-mail attachments, infected websites or malicious files."
Kaspersky took the prize for best repair of existing malware infestation. Researchers check that the product successfully removes active malware and restores unwanted system changes. They also check that the product can detect and remove threats hidden using rootkit technology. Kaspersky was also named 2011's product of the year by AV-Comparatives.org, another major antivirus testing lab.
As for the best usability, that honor went to ESET. To evaluate usability, researchers consider any slowdown on system performance caused by the product as well as false positives and system interferences such as unnecessary warning messages.
You can view the full report, including the corporate winners, on AV-Test's website. All of the individual certification test results are there too, including full details on each individual product's test results.

Baseball, sunshine … and a new patio at River North Brewery
River North Brewery let it be known today that its well-regarded Belgian-style and Belgo-American hybrid ales can now be enjoyed fresh off the tap in the Colorado sunshine.
After more than six months of planning, the brewery in the former Flying Dog space in the Ballpark neighborhood today opens a 300 square-foot patio that will double the seating at the cozy taproom.
Yes, just in time for Opening Day. The Rockies, who take up residence just down Blake Street, host the Padres in their home opener tomorrow afternoon, and the weather will be agreeable.
Other nearby craft beer spots have special things planned for Opening Day. Denver Beer Co. on Platte Street will open at 10 a.m. and celebrate the release of its Walt Weiss – both a beer and Rockies manager.
Falling Rock Tap House on Blake also will open early at 10 and will set up a special Odell booth outside.
And for First Friday on Tennyson, Hops and Pie's firkin will be the Apple Pie Rye from Dry Dock. Play ball.

Thoughts for Home Buyers When Choosing a Home
Now that you are ready to buy a home, you want to make sure it's the perfect fit for you. The home you choose should fit your lifestyle and have features that appeal to you and your family.
There are several things to keep in mind when viewing the interior of the house. Do the floor plan, storage space, appliances, and quantity of bathrooms meet your needs? You should visualize your furniture in the home to get an impression of whether or not it will work. When viewing the exterior, you want to make sure the yard is big enough to meet your needs. Imagine coming home after a long day at work. Does this home give you that "special feeling?"
Be sure to ask questions about the plumbing, electrical, foundation, and the roof. You should also inquire about insulation on the walls and attic and if systems and appliances have been replaced. You want to buy a home that is in good condition so that you are not putting all your money into fixing it up. The price reduction on a "fixer upper" may not seem like much of a discount after putting the money and work you have to put into making the house livable.
It's good to know if the Market has gone up or down since the seller bought the home. You then can compare it with what it is worth in today's market. Finding what the other homes in the neighborhood have sold for and comparing those prices is the best way to find the value. The bank's appraiser will generate the value based on these comparables.
If you are in a flood zone, you may have to pay flood insurance. FEMA has flood maps online to view for free. You may also want to check with the parish. Have your Realtor check the property disclosure document for clarification.
If you have children, you will want to do research on the local schools before thinking about buying a home. You can check the school district website for more information.
When choosing your home, you should anticipate your future needs and wants. Do you have enough room now and will you have enough room in the future? Will the home meet your needs as your lifestyle changes?
Having a trustworthy, reliable, driven Realtor, is essential to making your home buying experience smooth. You need a Realtor who you can work closely with and is willing to go above and beyond to find you the house of your dreams.

The military experts at ForceReadiness.com are uniquely qualified to help you ace the ASVAB/AFQT and qualify for top military jobs. If that isn't worth the price of a soda then read no further. ForceReadiness.com has sold over half a million apps to the military. We created the #1 selling US Army and US Air Force promotion study guides along with several other popular apps. After years of feedback from our users we finally built the ASVAB Test Prep app they wish they had before they enlisted.
Before you get another ASVAB Test Prep app ask yourself:
1. Does it offer over 1,500 recruiter reviewed practice test questions? That's 500-1000 more questions than other leading ASVAB apps! That's not a typo. We know that the more questions you are exposed to, the greater the likelihood of you scoring well. We give you more ASVAB practice test questions than any other ASVAB app and it really isn't even close. Remember, the higher you score the better your military job options are!
2. Does it even have a true BUILT-IN study guide section? ASVAB PRO contains over 1,000 instructional and tip slides. Other ASVAB apps simply show you questions. What they call studying is nothing more than showing you their questions without grading you. This is the ONLY ASVAB Test Prep app with an actual built-in study guide section covering ALL subjects. With ASVAB PRO you can brush up on topics and learn valuable tips without ever leaving the app.
3. Are you really saving money with so-called free apps? Not if you want to use all of their features and see all of their questions. That will require an expensive in-app purchase. Our leading competitors charge more for fewer questions. You could try a free app with ads and have your studying constantly interrupted. Do you want to be offered great military job choices or are you more interested in saving less than what you blow at the junk food place for lunch?
The Verdict? More Questions + A True Built-In Study Guide + The Military Experts at ForceReadiness.com = An Easy Decision. No other ASVAB Test Prep app offers more. No other app prepares you as well to ace the ASVAB/AFQT. If you are looking to achieve ASVAB mastery then look no further.
ForceReadiness.com designs the most practical, intuitive, study guide apps possible. If you've tried other study guide apps the difference will be obvious. Your studying will be smoother and less stressful than ever before. Say goodbye to the days of staring at an app for 20 minutes just trying to figure out how to start a practice test or find your progress.
"ASVAB PRO has everything a potential recruit needs to score high on the AFQT. It is the most complete app available and the app I will now recommend." − USAF Recruiter

More familiar with standing ovations for his years as a solo act, as a member of the Cash Brothers band with his sibling Pete and as a featured guest in The Skydiggers, singer/NOW writer Andrew Cash received resounding applause Monday night as he won the nomination as the federal NDP candidate in Toronto's west end Davenport riding.
Over 300 people jammed into Davenport's New Horizon's Auditorium at Bloor and
Dundas Dufferin to acclaim Cash as the candidate including NDP leader Jack Layton and MPs Olivia Chow and Charlie Angus, himself a musician and former band mate of Cash's in legendary 80s band L'Etranger.
"When Andrew wins this seat I'll no longer be able to make the claim of being the only MP who ever opened for the Dead Kennedys," said an enthusiastic Angus, an effective rep for Timmins-James Bay in saluting his pal and fellow traveler.
Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy kicked off the evening endorsing Cash and singing the band's agit-prop tune It Can Happen to You while Andy Maize and Josh Finlayson of The Skydiggers wrapped up the celebratory night with two songs.

With freshly shorn sideburns and a spiffier suit than his usual ironic Variety Village fare, Cash was comfortable talking politics and policy without ever sounding like a tired politician.
He spoke of a longtime aversion to declaring for partisan politics but said the lingering stench of the destructive Mike Harris gang, newly-installed in Ottawa with Stephen Harper's Conservatives was partially the cause of his "re-learning how to tie ties" and taking a run at the federal seat.
"People in Toronto have a representational problem, "said Cash bemoaning the ineffective Liberal reign in most of Toronto's ridings. "We have pot hole fillers but no nation builders."
With the slogan CASH for Toronto, Cash made it clear he would fight to represent his riding as well as the city itself if installed in Ottawa.
"Imagine if government attacked Montreal or Vancouver the way they attack Toronto."
"Toronto is a distinct society and we need to celebrate it not apologize for it."
And a day after Harper played politics and piano at Ottawa's National Arts Centre, Cash made it clear artists and the arts need to be represented by people who don't bait the creative class.
He said the arts generate $70 billion to the Canadian economy while the auto industry, exclusive of spin-offs, accounts for only $30 billion.
He accused sitting Liberal MP Mario Silva of giving the riding part-time representation and said the member has been working on an MA in Oxford, England while serving Davenport.
"I've got nothing against him personally but this riding deserves fulltime representation," said Cash.
It's clear the singer intends to bring 'party' to party politics and, at the very least, should be able to muster awesome jams with supporters that include Cuddy, The Skydiggers and the Tragically Hip's Gord Downie.

Gay men in the Chechen Republic are being kidnapped and detained in torture camps as part of the government's attempt to "purge" the country of homosexuality.
Chechnya is currently ruled by the wealthy war criminal Ramzan Kadyrov, who has the backing of Russian President Vladimir Putin. But Russia's "gay propaganda laws", which criminalise the dissemination of information about LGBTQI issues, are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Chechnya's deeply homophobic culture.
The torture was first exposed by the Russian independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta on April 1. The journalists who reported that the government had issued the command for a "prophylactic sweep" of the country in late February, have since fled the country and gone into hiding.
Since then, stories have emerged of more than 100 gay men being victimised, with some estimates placing the number of missing men at several hundred. At least three men have been murdered.
A hotline set up by the Russian LGBT Network, a human rights organisation based in St Petersburg, received calls from 52 kidnapping victims in five weeks.
Despite this, the Kadyrov government is denying that there is a campaign to disappear gay men on the basis that there are no homosexuals in Chechnya.
Government spokesperson Alvi Karimov responded to the allegations by telling Interfax news agency: "You cannot arrest or repress people who just don't exist in the republic."
The torture has taken place inside the state's "unofficial detention centres", which also host the torture of other minorities.
Kidnapping victims have told the Russian LGBT Network of the torture they face behind the camp's walls, which has included vicious beatings and being shocked with electric wires clipped to their fingers, toes and earlobes.
Detainees are crammed in, 30 to a cell, while guards incite other inmates to attack gay detainees.
Despite the horrific daily torture that the kidnapped men face, some fear release even more.
Chechen authorities have presided over a humiliating ritual in which gay men are forced to confess their sexuality to their male family members, while authorities berate them and their families. The ritual often results in honour killings.
Karimov alluded to the prevalence of homophobic honour killings in Chechnya, saying: "If there were such people [gay men] in Chechnya, law-enforcement agencies wouldn't need to have anything to do with them because their relatives would send them somewhere from which there is no returning."
Victims are fleeing Chechnya into central Russia, but the homophobia of the Russian state and the proximity to Chechnya means that victims live in fear of persecution by Putin's government or being hunted down by their families for honour killings.
As the Russian LGBT Network works to evacuate gay men from Chechnya, it is clear that more needs to be done to provide refuge for LGBTQI people there.
As LGBTQI rights activists around the world urge their governments to act, the inaction of Western leaders amounts to a deadly silence.
British Prime Minister Theresa May, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have made sounds about the need for an investigation into the existence of torture camps. Yet neither Britain, Canada nor Germany have offered refuge to the victims.
Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop came off as sickeningly inadequate when she announced that her department had asked the Russian government to ensure that no Australians living in the region were affected.
And while US President Donald Trump remains tight-lipped, the United States has denied visas for roughly 40 gay Chechens currently in hiding.
So far, only nine gay men fleeing Chechnya have been granted foreign visas. Two of them went to impoverished Lithuania.
Until the world's leaders offer safety to the victims of the regime and condemn the homophobic terror, the disappearances will continue.
The campaign to protect LGBTQI people living in Chechnya has revived the symbol of the inverted pink triangle — an emblem of the early gay rights movement — which represents the triangle that gay male prisoners were badged with in Nazi concentration camps.
The symbol's contemporary use serves as a reminder of the seriousness of global complicity in human rights atrocities.
More than 80 years after gays were first badged with the pink triangle, the death toll of institutional homophobia continues to climb.

Introduction and aim. Today probiotics have been suggested as a treatment for the prevention of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Smectite is a natural silicate that binds to digestive mucous and has the ability to bind endo- and exotoxins. The present study was designed to determine whether probiotics plus smectite is superior to probiotic alone on the monosodium glutamate (MSG) induced NAFLD model in rats. Materials and methods. We included 60 rats divided into 4 groups 15 animals in each. Rats of group I were intact. Newborns rats of groups II-IV were injected with MSG. The III (Symbiter) group received 2.5 ml/kg of multiprobiotic 'Symbiter' containing concentrated biomass of 14 probiotic bacteria genera. The IV (Symbiter+Smectite) groups received 'Symbiter Forte' combination of probiotic biomass with smectite gel (250 mg). Results. In both interventional groups reduction of total NAS score as compared to MSG-obesity was observed. Indeed similar values of steatosis score (0.93 ± 0.22 vs. 0.87 ± 0.16) in both treatment groups, we observed that lower total score for Symbiter+ Smectite are associated with more pronounced reduction of lobular inflammation (0.13 ± 0.09 vs. 0.33 ± 0.15) as compared to administration of probiotic alone. This data accompanied with significant reduction of IL-1 and restoration of IL-10 between these 2 groups. Conclusions. Additional to alive probiotic administration of smectite gel due to his absorbent activity and mucus layer stabilization properties can impact on synergistic enhancement of single effect which manifested with reduction of lobular inflammation and at list partly steatohepatitis prevention.
Key words. Diosmectite., Nutraceuticals., Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis., Obesity., Prevention.

Mark Millar announced last year that the character who had for years held the mantle of Kick-Ass in the Kick-Ass comic series, Dave Lizewski, would be retiring so that a new character -- a black, female military veteran -- could take over the role. The comic series has thus far seen two film adaptations, and last month Millar commented on Twitter that, if a third movie ever gets made starring his new Kick-Ass, his ideal casting for the character would be Tessa Thompson (Thor: Ragnarok, Creed).
RELATED: Millar & Romita "Kick-Ass" Until The Very End
Nearly a month went by without a peep from Thompson, but all that changed today when she posted a tweet directly responding to Millar's claim that she would make a perfect Kick-Ass. Her take on the matter? Apparently, Thompson is "highly interested" in the prospect of becoming the new Kick-Ass.
Valentines Day can't come soon enough. Can't wait to read. Kicking ass is something I'm highly interested in, @mrmarkmillar 🖤 https://t.co/9aRQQw9KWO— Tessa Thompson (@TessaThompson_x) February 8, 2018
Millar's new Kick-Ass, Patience Lee, has yet to debut in comic form, but apparently Thompson will be eagerly awaiting her premiere later this month. Millar commented on his reason for stepping away from the Dave Lizewski story last year, saying:
"I wanted to shake up the setting a little and shifted the whole thing to New Mexico," Millar said. "The lead is a woman this time, a mother in her early 30s with two young kids. She's also a military vet who came home to find her life in a completely different setting from the way it was when she went to Afghanistan so the actual dynamic of the book is really different, but at the same time the flavor is identical."
Kick-Ass #1 from Image Comics will be available for purchase at comic book stores on Feb. 14.

Diebold Selects Green, Ohio, As Preferred Site For New Global Headquarters
Final plans contingent upon environmental and land tests, government and community approvals
Diebold selects 55-acre site in Green, Ohio, as preferred location for new
global headquarters campus development.
12 January 2012
NORTH CANTON, Ohio – Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) today announced that it has signed a purchase agreement for the preferred site of its new global headquarters campus. The agreement includes 55 acres of land in Green, Ohio, on the Union Square site – near the intersection of Massillon Road and Town Park Boulevard, adjacent to Interstate 77 south. Diebold would also hold the right of first refusal to an additional 36 acres of land surrounding the site.
Finalization of the site is contingent upon several steps that will occur during the coming months, including environmental and land testing, site pre-planning, necessary approvals from the State of Ohio, council approval from the City of Green, and local school board approvals.
If the land passes environmental inspections, site due diligence activities and the project receives local, state, and federal government approvals, Diebold anticipates finalizing the site selection process during the second half of 2012 and breaking ground sometime in 2013. Initial plans call for a 500,000 square-foot building to house Diebold's new global headquarters. The company anticipates construction of its new headquarters will be completed 2-3 years after breaking ground on the site. If the land fails inspections, or necessary approvals are not obtained, the company will consider alternative sites.
"This is another exciting step for Diebold in our journey to building a truly world-class presence right here in Northeast Ohio," said Thomas W. Swidarski, Diebold president and chief executive officer. "Our preferred site in Green provides us with the characteristics we coveted in a location, as well as continuity and convenience for our associates and a first-class presentation for our customers."
"The initial plans for our new global headquarters campus will allow us to further align our organization, enhance our ability to recruit and retain top-tier talent, and help build a stronger community -- all while helping transform Diebold into the true services business we aspire to become," Swidarski continued. "I'd like to recognize Green Mayor Dick Norton and his planning and development team for helping provide the vision necessary in enabling us to take this step. Also, Canton Mayor William Healy and his staff were very proactive with us and did a great job putting together a very compelling, aggressive plan for a potential site. About 70 percent of our local associates live in Stark County, and we take our 140-year presence in the Canton area very seriously. However, our extensive evaluation showed that the company's needs would best be met by everything offered by our preferred site in Green. We also acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of Gov. John Kasich and his team to provide the competitive package necessary to help ensure Diebold's future in Ohio and in this area. We remain committed to Northeast Ohio, and look forward to continue making a positive contribution to this region."
Diebold will work with the site developers and the City of Green to develop the Union Square property and complete other necessary elements of the project moving forward.
"After many months of work, we are pleased that Diebold is committing to build its new global headquarters in the heart of Green," said Dick Norton, mayor, City of Green. "Diebold will be a major focal point in Green's town center. While much work still needs to be done, we are excited to work with a great company and a team of committed partners who will help make this project a reality, including Governor Kasich and his administration; Summit County and Executive Russ Pry; the Summit County Port Authority; and Green City Council; just to name a few."
Bob DeHoff, president of DeHoff Development Company, the developers of the Union Square site, said, "Diebold's announcement today validates our faith in the I-77 corridor and the great promise this development holds for the Akron/Canton region. We believe Diebold locating at Union Square will create a strong platform for additional class 'A' users. It's an honor for the DeHoff family to be involved with the Diebold global headquarters for the second time in 40 years."
Diebold's new corporate campus will house about 1,500 of the company's employees in its global headquarters. These include research and development operations, hardware and software engineering functions, and sales and marketing areas for the company's financial self-service, security and integrated services businesses. The company's corporate financial and administrative operations, customer service and event monitoring centers, and employee training and education functions will also reside in the new facility.

The proper way to run a company is not to have the employees write code that any fool can "understand", but to hire competent programmers that can both read and write good code. Promoting good programmers to managers is also a bad idea, which unfortunately many companies have failed to understand. This is where good open source projects differ from corporations. We don't have managers in the corporate sense, and only competent programmers are allowed to touch the code. Many patches get rejected, as I believe you are aware. There are also badly run open source projects where patches anyone and his dog are accepted without thorough review.

In November's sporadic posts, I've written about character design and introduction. But all that hard work and long thought aren't sufficient. You can build the most vivid character ever, with an outstanding dominant impression and tags galore. You can introduce Mr. Wow into the story with an explosion and a stunt, and it still isn't enough.
At this point, are you thinking, What more do readers want? Blood?
Let's not be quite that dramatic. What readers want is character reinforcement.
In other words, you don't allow readers to forget a character's dominant impression. You don't allow them to forget Mr. Wow's personality. You don't allow them to forget how special and vivid Mr. Wow is. Again and again, at key points in the story progression you should reestablish, reinforce, and reiterate.
Reestablish a character that's been off the page for a while. I do this through a miniature introduction or description. Even though readers may vaguely remember this character that's been gone, it helps them if you can provide reminders of appearance, dominant impression, and story role. Naturally not all characters have to be reestablished. For example, if you're writing a novel about three people stranded in a lifeboat in the Pacific, there's no need for reestablishment. That would come across as stilted, awkward, and patronizing.
However, let's say you have a character named Herman that's been tailing Mr. Wow for half the day. Mr. Wow confronts Herman and discovers that Herman works for a man that wants Mr. Wow to lay off his investigation into a blackmailing scheme. They scuffle, and Mr. Wow knocks Herman out, leaving him in an alley. Four or five chapters later, Herman reappears in the story, this time waiting in Mr. Wow's office for his return and armed with a .38.
Now, in those intervening four chapters, numerous plot twists, conflict, and new character introductions have occurred. Mr. Wow has barely escaped a warehouse fire, nearly been shot, and fallen in love with a blonde dame at the casino. After so much excitement, readers might dimly remember Herman, or he might be entirely forgotten. So now, with his return, there's a need to reestablish him. We can do so through a brief description of what he's wearing. The same tan raincoat with the torn cuff and the same dark brown fedora as before. The same small dark eyes, burning intensely in a narrow face. But let's remind readers of that alley fight by giving Herman a black eye.
By taking the time to pause the story briefly to give him a miniature reintroduction, readers don't have to struggle to remember. They'll get a kick out of the black eye, remembering how Mr. Wow dealt with the little squirt. And they'll worry about the new element of the .38 and the resentment in Herman's face.
We reinforce characterization frequently through the usage of tags. Tags, if you recall, are little attachments of character information. We have many types at our disposal. There are tags of physical appearance, tags of behavior and mannerisms, tags of possessions/clothing, tags that show personality, tags of vocabulary or dialogue patterns, and the character's name with all its connotations.
Why do we need so many? So that we can reinforce often without numbing readers. A rule I try to follow is to use at least one tag per character per page.
I'll repeat that: at least one tag per character per page.
Does this mean that I'm going to mention Mr. Wow's steely gaze in every paragraph? No. Let's say that Mr. Wow wears custom-made suits that are very expensive. He stands about six feet, five inches. He has thick auburn hair and gray eyes, an aristocratic nose, and a rugged jaw. He drives a Porsche Cayenne SUV–gunmetal gray with black leather interior. He speaks softly but seriously and never says anything he doesn't mean. He's smart, tough, successful, resourceful, cool-headed, and ruthless if he has to be.
Now, consider this:
"My boss says to lay off, see, or me and my pals will be forced to rough you up. Unnerstand? Hey, you hearin' me?"
Mr. Wow had been sizing up the pugnacious punk during the threats and bluster. He'd also inched closer to the spokesman, who maybe came up to his shoulder and had a dished-in face with a nose broken too many times. No one so far had pulled a gun or a shiv, and despite the wooden billy-club in the punk's hand, Mr. Wow dismissed the trio as amateurs.
He struck without warning, landing a punch that cracked lumpy cartilage and broke the punk's nose once more. Blood spurted, and with a howl the punk reeled back, dropping his club to clutch his face.
Mr. Wow finished him with an uppercut and spun lightly to face the other two. They stared at him, wide-eyed, and ran.
Dusting off his hands, Mr. Wow checked his silk shirt cuffs for any blood splatter and pulled down the sleeves of his gray woolen suit. It was new, shipped by courier from his Savile Row tailor only yesterday. One of the individual buttonholes on the right sleeve seemed maybe an eighth of an inch out of line with the others. His tailor was getting sloppy. Mr. Wow stared down at his groaning, would-be assailant without expression, stepped over him, and walked out to the curb. Getting into his Cayenne, Mr. Wow drove away without a backward glance. It was time to deal with the punk's boss.
Never mind that I'm having fun by using every cliched, hard-boiled trope from the golden age of crime fiction, look at how I've reinforced the information I want readers to remember. While all the details that I mentioned above in that one-paragraph dossier aren't used in my italicized example, they don't need to be because Mr. Wow would have been introduced earlier in the story. But from his name, to his height, to his dapper taste in clothes, to his physicality, and all the way down to his polished toecaps, Mr. Wow's tags are plentiful enough to be rotated and used in different combinations.
If nothing else, adhere to the tag rule by using a character's name instead of relying on pronouns. The name tag is the most useful of all types, yet because it's so functional inexperienced writers sometimes forget it. Why use "he" when you can use "Mr. Wow."
Reiterate characterization without repetition. Reiterate through utilizing new combinations and ways of showing the information to readers. Show your character's personality through a variety of actions that all work to convey the same impression.
This is sometimes referred to as using a "tag cluster." For example, if you want to convey the personality trait of cool-headed, think about what behaviors and reactions will show it.
From the above example, Mr. Wow demonstrates this trait through his calmness when cornered by three thugs armed with clubs. He coolly assesses them, guessing that they haven't done time or they would be armed differently. He also determines that they are more bluff than true danger. He does not let being outnumbered concern him. He strikes a strategic blow–one as psychologically damaging as it is physically painful–and shows no emotion whatsoever.
How do we reiterate this trait? By demonstrating it in different action the next time. Let's say that when he pays his bill at the casino that evening, his card is declined. There have been no text alerts on his phone, yet when he checks his bank he learns his account has been frozen. Again, by showing him calm, intelligent, alert, savvy, and unemotional as he deals with financial sabotage, his cool-headed trait is shown anew.

How do you track your success if you are a Single Stylist Salon or a Booth Renter? Is it Important to do this? These are questions Freesaloneducation.com Founder, Matt Beck, gets all the time and his answer is: "It's just as important for individual stylists to track their growth than the salon itself. If you're a stylist and don't know your numbers than you do not know how to grow. If each individual stylist does not grow then your salon doesn't grow. To be a successful stylist no matter what size business you work in you have to always be competing with yourself. Set goals weekly to make sure you are always growing. Check out Matt's video for more."

|YSL Glossy Stains in 10 & 23
|YSL Glossy stain 10
|YSL Glossy stain 23
These must be one of the most hyped about products in the beauty community – a hybrid between a lip gloss and a lip stick with incredible staying power.
I have 2 shades – 10, which is a muted pinkish red and 23, which is a purpley grape.
I first apply a thin coat and wait for it to dry without rubbing my lips together. I then apply two more thin coats after allowing them to dry in between layers. The finish is then really glossy and the building up of layers helps to make the product last for as long as possible.
The Glossy stains dry to a glossy finish… Haha, they stay glossy on the lips for a surprisingly long time. It stays glossy for around 3 hours on me before it mattes down and then you can either top it up or leave it as it is.
They last such a long time on the lips! Around 6 hours on me before I would think it needs a touch up. They also feel fairly comfortable and not too drying. The glossiness doesn't moisturise the lips but it doesn't make the lips drier.
I really like the packaging – a gold lid with the YSL logo and a glossy black container. You can also see the shades through the packaging, which is helpful.
I got one from Feel Unique and one from Debenhams (£10 off, thank you beauty points!) and they're also available from Boots for £ 22.50.
Would you wear a stain?

Just a couple of links today (more details to follow).
I found a great reference for JavaScript and jQuery Design Patterns here:
Also, I learned about the Presenter pattern today. We were having a discussion at work about what to do with presentation logic in Rails. On the one hand you don't want it in the controller because you want to keep your controllers thin, on the other hand you don't want it in the models either because it's presentational. You can't put it in the erb because they shouldn't contain logic. Enter the Presenter Pattern:
Enjoy your homework!

Howdy! I have been meaning to blog about Ron and Rand Paul for sometime now.
On Ron I wanted to go into his "offensive" twitter comment about serial kil…ah…er…SEAL sniper Chris Kyle, as well as the RonPaul.com controversy. I wrote a post about the first one but it lead me down a different path that involved writing nine, yes, NINE, other posts. And on the trademark dispute I barely even got started before those other projects consumed my time. Now these are stale issues and it may not even be worth posting on them, though I will be looking for an opportunity to do so, either with new developments that arise in those cases, or separate issues that I can cleverly tie into. We'll see.
On Rand I wanted to have a back and forth with myself about the pros and cons. This was before the filibuster, which in my opinion is one more pro to add to the list. Before I do a more comprehensive piece on Rand I want to take advantage of the fact that he is currently in the news and blog mostly about that. I didn't initially want to do this because everyone and their brother was doing it. But I see an issue that is not covered as much. It is mentioned in passing by a few. Perhaps even subconsciously acknowledged by almost everyone. But there are still some out there that don't seem to see it or at least haven't said anything about it in any detail.
That issue is whether the filibuster was successful or not, and what criteria really make it so.
"Hold on," you say. "That is practically all everyone is talking about!" I would agree with you but I think the people talking about it are all focusing on the wrong criteria. The leftist critics say it was a pointless maneuver that didn't even have the effect of stopping the Brennan appointment. These critics neglect that the delay of this appointment was a means and not an end. The rightist critics are all saying it was an immature — some would say harmful — political career advancement stunt. These folks are partially right, but not on the immature/harmful part. And most libertarians (left, right, and center), even some of the apolitical ones, are laying on the praise, though they sometimes qualify it. They are saying that the filibuster was great for raising the issue of drones, even if Rand is not (verbally, at least) entirely consistent in his opposition to their misuse (how one can properly use a flying robot of death is beyond me, but remember, "guns don't kill people; people kill people"). These libertarians are also partially right, but they don't recognize (at least, judging from the statements I have seen; I don't want to pretend my generalizations are universal absolutes) that the awareness is about more than the drone issue.
To recap:
Critical lefties, in general, seem to think: Rand's goal was to stop the Brennan appointment. He failed at this and instead made an ass of himself. He is incompetent.
Critical righties, in general, seem to think: Rand's goal was to gain the spotlight for fifteen minutes in order to rile up the rubes in flyover country for when he runs for President. He is a demagogue.
Approving libertarians (left, right, and center), in general, seem to think: Rand's goal was to raise awareness on drones, and maybe even to corner the administration into promising not to misuse them. He is valiant, but his chances at success, particularly on the second part of his goal, were always slim.
My contention: No, it was never about Brennan, who was a shoe-in for the job. He was a means to and end and nothing more. Yes, it was about furthering his career. So what? Better his career than McCain's or Graham's or Holder's or Obama's or Brennan's or Reid's or Clinton's or even Rubio's! And yes, it was about raising awareness of the possibility — likelihood, perhaps — of misuse of drones (in the form of assassinating US citizens, who are innocent until proven guilty and entitled to due process; on US soil, not that the assassination of US citizens on foreign soil is any less bad), and yet, so much more!
It was not just about letting people know they should be careful with what they say, or that they should give their representatives a phone call, or that they should protest in the street, or that they should take precautionary measures, or that they should only elect people who oppose domestic drone abuse, or that they should refuse to make contributions to political parties or campaigns that don't come down on the right side of this issue. It was about all of those things. Most people probably know that.
But what most people seem to be missing, based on conversations I have had, comments and articles I have read, and this is shocking to me because it seems fairly obvious, is that it was about exposing the administration's dishonesty and motivations more than it was about changing the administration's policies through direct or indirect means. In my view, it was mostly about forcing the administration to be honest about it's disdain for the Bill of Rights; its adherence to an ends-justifies-the-means, living-breathing-Constitution, legal positivistic philosophy of government; its hatred and opposition to any semblance of the rule of law or restraints on the executive office.
He did a good job of it. All it took to end 13 hours of filibustering was a clear, 3o second statement promising to abide by the Fifth Amendment, no exceptions. Anyone who thinks that Rand actually thought he would get this concession (even Holder's letter to Rand was qualified and equivocating, I mean, define, "engaged in combat") is probably being naive.* Maybe he did know that, but as far as I understand he was intending to continue pouring sand in the gears of the Senate whenever he could, and was surprised at Holder's letter. It was the presumption that he would NOT get this concession that made this stunt so powerful.
I know this seems like a small thing. What difference does it make whether Rand was advocating policy change or simply applying pressure to the administration for honesty's own sake? I don't know. Perhaps none. It is just an observation.
I am still very much on the fence about Rand Paul, mind you. I admit it is because he doesn't live up to the standard of his own father, who was far more radical and far less compromising.
Oh, by the way: the Daily Paul has a great little list of all the books and articles referenced by Rand Paul in his filibuster. It makes for some interesting reading. Speaking of reading, has anyone read Rand's newest book? I haven't yet. But I guess I'll have to go pick it up now, since he's probably going to run in 2016. His first one was pretty good, I reckon.
*UPDATE: I did find one article on yahoo news, with links to other sources, that goes into some of this. An excerpt:
During his 13 hours on the Senate floor, Paul repeatedly asked whether Obama believed he had the authority to kill an American, on U.S. soil, who was not "actively attacking" America.
The question prompted Holder to respond.
"Dear Senator Paul," Holder said in a 43-word letter. "It has come to my attention that you have now asked an additional question: 'Does the President have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on American soil?' The answer to that question is no."
Holder didn't use the phrase "actively attacking." And administration officials privately agreed on Friday that "not engaged in combat" was the key phrase going forward. None of them agreed to define the expression on the record.
Why the concern? Paul himself raised some of those questions in his filibuster.
"Will we use a standard for killing Americans to be that we thought you were bad, we thought you were coming from a meeting of bad people and you were in a line of traffic and so, therefore, you were fine for the killing?" he said. "That is the standard we're using overseas. Is that the standard we're going to use here?"
Holder's letter doesn't answer that question. And observers from across the political spectrum made that point in the aftermath.

Aidan is 3!
The last one year I clearly can see his progress especially on motor skill has multifold, by 2.5 yrs old he can remove and put on his clothes and night diaper by himself. He eats on his own, with spoon and fork and sometimes with his little hands, he even can clean himself up after small business which I think kinda of cute and lately he wants to clean himself up after big business too which is a big no no for Ummi. What I can say about this 3 year old, he wants to be like a big boy like his abang, he wants to do everything coz he thinks he's strong enough, like carrying our grocery bags :P His perseverance sometimes can drive Ummi up to the wall coz every little thing he insists it has to be done in his way. On the other hand, he's mature compare to his age, being and wanting to be independent.
Aidan is known to be a chatter box in our families, my family especially my parents love to layan him. Each time they talk in the phone, the ending conversation from Aidan will be"...bye atuk/wan, i looooove you and see you.." Mana laa tak cair org tua tu :) I love chatting with him, having him around just the 2 of us feels like having a companion over tea and one thing I notice about this little munchkin is that he is expressive not only with his words but with his body language esp his face. He loves to entice us with his comical look, his stunts, stances and he's playful with his eyes too. I guess it is not hard to notice all this from his pictures, he loves camera and video cam and a big time role player too, from main masak2, modelling, ultraman vs monsters, imaginary friends, docs and patient, dentist and patient, etc. From here you can tell it's lotsa fun, the greatest entertainer at home!
Health wise, 2-2.5 yrs has been great but from 2.5-3 yrs, it wasn't so good but alhamdulillah, during that period, I have quit my job and it's like a blessing in disguise. I was able to care and nurse him. Just for the sake of jotting down somewhere, it was Aidan 1st hospitalization due to bad wheezing which caused his heart rate goes up to 180. It was on 20th May 2010. Talking about nursing, he's still with me *sigh* Ummi not so sure how to wean you off dear coz you are soooo ever crazy with that "chandu" which is "heaven" to you hehehe...
Food wise, you are the adventurous type, academic wise, not so much, you don't really like writing or coloring but with water color, you'r on the go, love reading with me but when I try teaching you alpabhets/numbers/surah recitation, your attention span shorten :( Ummi is taking it easy with you dear coz learning suppose to be fun, right?
Dear Zul Aidan Naez,
We love you to bits sayang, you are such an adorable little munchkin and we always crave for your antics. We hope that Allah swt will always protect you and bless you with His love. Happy 3rd Birthday Aidan with much love love love from your Ummi, Papa and Abg Nael. Muahhhhhsss.

Get Psychometric Tests Done While Hiring Tradespersons in Your Organization
Before you recruit employees and hire trades persons for working as a part of your organization and representing you in the industry, it is important and also a cause of respite for you to know that the individual you are hiring is proficient enough to carry out the tasks appointed to him or her in the most effective way possible, and to use his or her own intelligence when it is necessary. Therefore, apart from conducting the usual interviews and holding group sessions, you should also consider making the potential employees take a psychometric test to determine whether or not they are the right person for this job.
What are Psychometric Tests?
Psychometric tests are methods of measuring and calculating a candidate's relevant strengths and weaknesses. They are a structured, systematic way of testing a candidate's aptitude for performing certain tasks, and ascertaining how they will respond to a variety of situations that may occur at the workplace. These tests not only provide information about the skill-sets and aptitudes that the candidate already possesses, but will also analyse the person's ability to learn and perform fresh tasks that he or she has never been faced with before.
Why is a Psychometric Test Important?
Psychometric testing is being used by many organizations to help them with the mechanical process of recruitment. These tests aim to measure attributes in an individual such as intelligence, adaptability, logical reasoning, personality, and the knack to perform under pressure, among others.
This test is important for you as an organization because:
- It will help an employer gauge the future performance of a candidate and also improve employee retention rate by making scrupulous hiring decisions.
- This test provides a more accurate way of assessing the abilities, strengths, and weaknesses of a candidate by asking the right questions, some of which the employer may not have thought of while conducting the interview.
- Since this test is a method that is carried out on a large scale where all the candidates are made to take the test on pen and paper, it will save the manager or the employer a lot of time and effort as he will not have to screen through every candidate individually, thus reducing the workload considerably.
Asking your candidates to take this test before making a decision that will prove as a vital one for your organization will help you to ascertain the presence or absence of the following traits and abilities:
- Verbal Ability, which includes linguistic skills, precision in Grammar, ability to understand analogies, and follow detailed written instructions to the letter.
- Abstract Reasoning measure the candidate's ability to identify the underlying logic behind a diagram or a pattern, and determine the solution to a problem.
- Numeric Ability is based on arithmetic questions and simple mathematics. Most employers look for a candidate's ability to work with numbers, and that is why this aspect is also a part of general aptitude tests.
- Spatial Reasoning skills are the ability to manipulate shapes in two dimensions or to visualize three-dimensional objects presented as two-dimensional pictures. These skills are very specific and are a requirement for Architects and Engineers.
There you have it. If you are an organization that is looking to hire, do include a Psychometric Test as a part of the recruitment process and dig out better, more highly-skilled employees with just a pen and a paper.
