About The BBC Symphony Orchestra
Funded and administered under the government sponsored British Broadcasting Company, the BBC Symphony Orchestra has, since its establishment in 1930, enjoyed a freedom from significant financial concerns which often plague independently funded orchestras. Because of this, the BBC Symphony Orchestra has been able to present a large body of new or lesser-known works that might be considered too avant-garde for many of the world's other major orchestras. In addition to its full schedule of broadcast performances for BBC Radio 3, the BBC Symphony Orchestra performs more than seventy public concerts a year in its main concert venues at Barbican Concert Hall and the Royal Festival Hall as well as in other London concert halls. With its affinity for contemporary compositions, this ensemble of approximately one hundred musicians has earned its reputation as one of the foremost broadcasting orchestras in Europe.
Although not officially established until 1930, plans for a BBC Orchestra were begun in 1927 but long and contentious negotiations delayed the fruition of these plans until Adrian Boult was appointed director of music in January 1930. The orchestra offered its first performance in October 1930 at Queen's Hall playing Wagner, Brahms and Ravel to enthusiastic reviews. Boult was appointed chief conductor in early 1931 and continued in that position until his retirement in 1950 although he relinquished his post as director of music in 1942. During these early years, the orchestra established its commitment to new and unusual repertoire by programming works by such contemporary composers as Schoenberg, Bartok, and Alban Berg; many of which were conducted by the composers themselves. Boult insisted that music by British composers be prominently represented in the orchestra' s repertoire. To that end, the BBC Symphony Orchestra presented many premier performances and broadcasts of works by Constant Lambert, Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughan Williams and offered several all-British programs. Boult also believed that the presence of world-renown guest conductors on the podium would improve the orchestra's international reputation and invited such gifted conductors as Bruno Walter and Arturo Toscanini to lead the ensemble.
The orchestra moved into its new headquarters at Maida Vale Studios in North London in 1934. A critical review of BBC was made in 1935 when its charter was due for renewal and concern over the adventurous nature of the orchestra's repertoire was expressed. The ensuing tensions between the governmental administration and the artistic directors of the orchestra boiled over in 1936 and Edward Clark, who was a primary figure in forming the BBC's musical policy, angrily resigned. For the next twenty-five years, the orchestra's repertoire became considerably more traditional with an emphasis on the works of Romantic and post-Romantic composers, temporarily leaving behind the ensemble's penchant for more contemporary music.
During World War II, the orchestra performed in Bristol and Bedford broadcasting concerts on Wednesdays and Sundays and offering monthly concerts to invited audiences. The orchestra began performing in London again in the 1943-44 season but did not return permanently to London until 1947. These were difficult years for the ensemble because postwar hardships were made more difficult by competition from the new Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Philharmonia Orchestra that drew not only audiences but musicians away from the BBC Symphony. Not one to be discouraged, Boult set about revitalizing the BBC Symphony Orchestra with a broadcast consisting entirely of British music on the newly created BBC Radio 3 channel in September 1946 and by taking the orchestra on a European tour in 1947.
After Boult's retirement in 1950, Sir Malcolm Sargent was appointed chief conductor. Known for his choral conducting, Sargent's choice of repertoire was largely traditional and the programs offered by the orchestra became a bit stale and unfocused. His tenure with the orchestra was not without its highlights, however. These included a tour of Scandinavia in 1956, the growth in popularity of Sargent's favored Henry Wood Promenade Concerts at Queen's Hall and later at the Royal Albert Hall and the opening of the Royal Festival Hall which was to become one of the orchestra's permanent concert venues.
Sargent was succeeded as chief conductor by Rudolf Schwarz in 1957 who, along with the BBC controller of music William Glock, began to broaden the orchestra's repertoire to again include works by contemporary composers. The BBC also commissioned and premiered several pieces by composers such as Roberto Gerhard during the 1960s in an effort to elevate the international status of the orchestra. Unfortunately, financial constraints did not allow the BBC Symphony to blossom as beautifully as was hoped, but the changes made by Schwarz and Glock helped the orchestra recover some of its former glory.
Antál Doráti replaced Schwarz as chief conductor of the orchestra in 1963 and organized the ensemble's first American tour in 1965. Sharing the podium with Pierre Boulez , Doráti's adventurous choice of repertoire contained only works by distinguished contemporary composers and the brilliance of this highly successful tour brought the orchestra its long-sought international recognition. Boulez's affiliation with the BBC Symphony was instrumental in bringing the orchestra's concert repertoire back to its original focus on new and contemporary works. Under his energetic leadership from 1971 to 1975, the ensemble played an ever-broadening array of innovative twentieth-century works to appreciative audiences at home and abroad. His tenure was the spark the orchestra needed to regain its reputation as one of Europe's most musically progressive ensembles.
Following Boulez in the role of chief conductor were Rudolf Kempe, whose brief time with orchestra ended with his untimely death in 1976 and then Gennady Rozhdestvensky, whose affinity for British composers was well received by the orchestra and its audiences. John Pritchard was appointed to the chief conductor's position in 1982 and continued the orchestra's work in the area of contemporary music. In 1989, Andrew Davies replaced Pritchard, continuing the BBC Orchestra's long line of notable conductors and ably leading the organization into the twenty-first century.
While the principal orchestra is based in London, regional BBC orchestras are resident in Manchester (BBC Philharmonic), Glasgow (BBC Scottish Orchestra) and Cardiff (BBC National Orchestra of Wales). ~ Corie Stanton Root

Hey guys, I'm back and I have another superhero that is probably one of the oldest in comic book history. If you haven't notice by now all the lessons that I uploaded today where all based on popular characters from comic books. It's not often that I make a tutorial on a DC Comics character, so today I think you will enjoy learning "how to draw Superman easy", step by step. The chiseled structure to his face and majestic stance makes him one of the more trusted figures in comic book history today. I laid out a sheet for a different pose with Superman's face so you have some choices when drawing him out. The overall result of this tutorial is pretty awesome. I love the colors, the style, and the very simplicity to this iconic figure. Thanks for joining me with drawing Superman easy. I shall return with my last lesson so be sure to stick around for more. Peace out people, and remember when you look up in the sky and see an object you don't recognize, it just might not be a bird, or a plane, it might be superman.

Corel ports Mozilla to Qt
Buried under hundreds of emails on the Konqueror mailing list, was this little gem from Ming Poon of Corel. Apparently, Corel has been working for months on a Qt port of Mozilla. The results are reportedly impressive with QtMozilla turning out to be more stable than the official Linux GTK version. Corel plans to port QtMozilla to KParts so it won't be long before you can embed even that in Konqueror. Honorable mention goes to Roberto Alsina who had begun his own Mozilla port the weekend before.
Re: Corel ports Mozilla to Qt
I just recently read that mozilla will be
The reason was, that mozilla rarely uses gtk
What benefits would mozilla gain by using QT
By Matthias Lange at Thu, 2000/09/21 - 5:00am
Re: Corel ports Mozilla to Qt
Making sure that people have Qt and KDE installed ;o)
By M_at at Thu, 2000/09/21 - 5:00am
Re: Corel ports Mozilla to Qt
I think it's not the QT library that is the big deal, but the KParts thing. Having Mozilla as a Konqueror embedded component would be really great (in my opinion), something which is obviously hard to achieve (if possible at all) using GTK.
It would let you choose between two browsers within one single user interface

kpart thing
wouldn't it be more appropriate to give access to gecko, the HTML rendering engine, by a kpart, and not the whole mozilla app? Or am I missing a point here?
By raphinou at Thu, 2000/09/21 - 5:00am
Re: kpart thing
there was a slashdot-article a few month ago about gnome and kde sharing a component model. in the discussion, somebody (sorry, i dont remember) said: "hey, lets make a 4-way bridge between windows(com/dcom), mozilla(xpcom), kde(kparts/dcop) and gnome(bonobo). I think he got a "funny" rating.
this idea is bothering me from this day. isnt it possible to make such a thing ? take for example a gnome component. what does it take to accomplish this task.
in my understanding, there has to be a parser that generates a kparts/dcop interface from the bonobo-idl and a wrapper-app(possibly generated, too), that maps the bonobo components functionality to the generated kparts interface. this wrapper app acts like a bonobo enabled app to the component and as a kparts/dcop component to the kparts using application and the dcop-server.
i cant really estimate the complexity of such a parser/generator nor the difficulties based on the different designs, but in theory it sounds feasible.
if i am not totally off the ground, such a system could be used for xpcom components and even other component systems. think for example of java-beans inside konqueror...

Re: Corel ports Mozilla to Qt
The great benefit is the internal support of Qt in Mozilla. This means that programmers can e.g. embed the Gecko engine into Qt programs. Or someone could produce a version of Mozilla that replaces these incredible xml-rendered GUI elements with fast Qt.
By Heiko Stoermer at Thu, 2000/09/21 - 5:00am
Re: Corel ports Mozilla to Qt
Corel would not be replacing just a tiny bit of GTK for a tiny bit of Qt, but dumping a tiny bit of GTK and a whole mass of Xlib in favor a Qt.
By David Johnson at Thu, 2000/09/21 - 5:00am
Re: Corel ports Mozilla to Qt
This is really good, more Kparts Komponents!

You're right, but for corel I would be happy if at least they did a port of their (commercial) office suite to Qt and Kparts...
Re: Corel ports Mozilla to Qt
Better idea, take any of the good stuff out of OpenOffice and put it into KOffice.
By Erik Severinghaus at Thu, 2000/09/21 - 5:00am
Re: Corel ports Mozilla to Qt
That would be cool. A OpenOffice/KOffice hybrid.
I imagine that any such effort might be more complicated then it is worth, so probably just using the OpenOffice code as a guide would be better.

Re: Corel ports Mozilla to Qt
Well , *IF* OpenOffice becomes Kparts compatible then stuff from one office will work on the other anyway!
Where is it ?
The post says it's at opensource.corel.com
Do I have to grab the huge CVS tree to get just that one application ?
Memo to Corel... How about posting a tarball of the source and maybe a Linux binary built against KDE-2.0 ?

Re: Where is it ?
The post doesn't say it's at opensource.corel.com. Ming was answering my question about where I could find the SMB implementation done by Corel (the mail thread is actually about SMB slaves).
I don't know where you could find it however :)

Re: Corel ports Mozilla to Qt
Wouldn't it be a better idea to make the Geckho Engine a KPart, so that Konqueror users get to choose which component they wish to render their HTML with?
By Coptain Cack at Thu, 2000/09/21 - 5:00am
Re: Corel ports Mozilla to Qt
That's what Corel's doing- they're making Gecko a KPart. BTW, technically, you'd choose KHTML, not Konqueror; you'd still be using Konqueror, but with Gecko instead of KHTML. Hope that helps.

Re: Corel ports Mozilla to Qt
First Post! Sorry, forgot this isn't Slashdot.
It will be interesting when gecko becomes an embeddable Kpart. Then a fair comparison of its rendering engine with khtml can be made. I bet khtml uses less memory, important to us with low-end machines.
This news site is great. If this post goes through and passes the lameness filter I'll be very surprised. Testing now....

Internationalization and localization
|Part of a series on
|Related topics
In computing, internationalization and localization (other correct spellings are internationalisation and localisation) are means of adapting computer software to different languages, regional differences and technical requirements of a target market. Internationalization is the process of designing a software application so that it can potentially be adapted to various languages and regions without engineering changes. Localization is the process of adapting internationalized software for a specific region or language by adding locale-specific components and translating text. Localization (which is potentially performed multiple times, for different locales) uses the infrastructure or flexibility provided by internationalization (which is ideally performed only once, or as an integral part of ongoing development).[1]
The terms are frequently abbreviated to the numeronyms i18n (where 18 stands for the number of letters between the first i and the last n in the word "internationalization," a usage coined at DEC in the 1970s or 80s)[2][3] and L10n for "localization," due to the length of the words.
Some companies, like IBM and Sun Microsystems, use the term "globalization", g11n, for the combination of internationalization and localization.[4] Also known as "glocalization" (a portmanteau of globalization and localization).
Microsoft[5] defines Internationalization as a combination of World-Readiness and localization. World-Readiness is a developer task, which enables a product to be used with multiple scripts and cultures (globalization) and separating user interface resources in a localizable format (localizability, abbreviated to L12y).[6]
This concept is also known as NLS (National Language Support or Native Language Support).
The main task of language localization is translation. This may involve:
- For film, video, and audio, translation of spoken words or music lyrics, often using either dubbing or subtitles
- Text translation for printed materials, digital media (possibly including error messages and documentation)
- Potentially altering images and logos containing text to contain translations or generic icons
- Different translation length and differences in character sizes (e.g. between Latin alphabet letters and Chinese characters) can cause layouts that work well in one language to work poorly in others.
- Consideration of differences in dialect, register or variety
- Writing conventions like:
- Formatting of numbers (especially decimal separator and digit grouping)
- Date and time format, possibly including use of different calendars
Computer software can encounter differences above and beyond straightforward translation of words and phrases, because computer programs can generate content dynamically. These differences may need to be taken into account by the internationalization process in preparation for translation. Many of these differences are so regular that a conversion between languages can be easily automated. The Common Locale Data Repository by Unicode provides a collection of such differences. Its data is used by major OSs, including Microsoft Windows, OS X and Debian, and by major internet companies or projects such as Google and the Wikimedia Foundation. Examples of such differences include:
- Different "scripts" in different writing systems use different characters - a different set of letters, syllograms, logograms, or symbols. Modern system use the Unicode standard to represent many different languages with a single character encoding.
- Writing direction is left to right in most European languages (e.g. German), right-to-left in Hebrew and Arabic, and optionally vertical in some Asian languages.
- Complex text layout, for languages where characters change shape depending on context.
- Capitalization exists in some scripts and not in others.
- Different languages and writing systems have different text sorting rules
- Different languages have different numeral systems, which might need to be supported if Western Arabic numerals are not used
- Different languages have different pluralization rules, which can complicate programs that dynamically display numerical content.[7] Other grammar rules might also vary, e.g. genitive.
- Different languages use different punctuation (e.g. quoting text using double-quotes (" "), as in English, or guillemets (« »), as in French).
- Keyboard shortcuts can only make use of buttons actually on the keyboard layout which is being localized for. If a shortcut corresponds to a word in a particular language (e.g. Ctrl-s stands for "save" in English), it may need to be changed.[8]
Different countries have different economic conventions, including variations in:
- Paper sizes
- Broadcast television systems and popular storage media
- Telephone number format
- Postal address format, postal codes, and choice of delivery services
- Currency (symbols, positions of currency markers, and reasonable amounts due to different inflation history) - ISO 4217 codes are often used for internationalization
- System of measurement
- Battery sizes
- Voltage and current standards
In particular, the United States and Europe differ in most of these cases. Other areas often follow one of these.
Specific third-party services, such as online maps, weather reports, or payment service providers, might not be available worldwide from the same carriers, or at all.
Time zones vary across the world, and this must be taken into account if a product originally only interacted with people in a single time zone. For internationalization, UTC is often used internally and then converted into a local time zone for display purposes.
Different countries have different legal requirements, meaning for example:
- Regulatory compliance may require customization for a particular jurisdiction, or a change to the product as a whole, such as:
- Privacy law compliance
- Additional disclaimers on a web site or packaging
- Different consumer labelling requirements
- Compliance with export restrictions and regulations on encryption
- Compliance with an Internet censorship regime or subpoena procedures
- Requirements for accessibility
- Collecting different taxes, such as sales tax, value added tax, or customs duties
- Sensitivity to different political issues, like geographical naming disputes and disputed borders shown on maps (e.g. failing to show Kashmir as Indian is a crime in India)
- Government assigned numbers have different formats (such as passports, the Social Security number and other national identification numbers)
Localization also may take into account differences in culture, such as:
- Local holidays
- Personal name and title conventions
- Aesthetics
- Comprehensibility and cultural appropriateness of images and color symbolism
- Ethnicity, clothing, and socioeconomic status of people and architecture of locations pictured
- Local customs and conventions, such as social taboos, popular local religions, or superstitions such as blood types in Japanese culture vs. astrological sign in other cultures
Business process for internationalizing software
In order to internationalize a product, it is important to look at a variety of markets that your product will foreseeably enter. Details such as field length for street addresses, unique format for the address, ability to make the zip code field optional to address countries that do not have zip codes or the state field for countries that do not have states, plus the introduction of new registration flows that adhere to local laws are just some of the examples that make internationalization a complex project.[9][10]
A broader approach takes into account cultural factors regarding for example the adaptation of the business process logic or the inclusion of individual cultural (behavioral) aspects.[11]
Coding practice
The current prevailing practice is for applications to place text in resource strings which are loaded during program execution as needed. These strings, stored in resource files, are relatively easy to translate. Programs are often built to reference resource libraries depending on the selected locale data. One software library that aids this is gettext.
Thus to get an application to support multiple languages one would design the application to select the relevant language resource file at runtime. Resource files are translated to the required languages. This method tends to be application-specific and, at best, vendor-specific. The code required to manage date entry verification and many other locale-sensitive data types also must support differing locale requirements. Modern development systems and operating systems include sophisticated libraries for international support of these types.
While translating existing text to other languages may seem easy, it is more difficult to maintain the parallel versions of texts throughout the life of the product.[12] For instance, if a message displayed to the user is modified, all of the translated versions must be changed. This in turn results in a somewhat longer development cycle.
Many localization issues (e.g. writing direction, text sorting) require more profound changes in the software than text translation. For example, OpenOffice.org achieves this with compilation switches.
To some degree (e.g. for Quality assurance), the development team needs someone who understands foreign languages and cultures and has a technical background. In large societies with one dominant language/culture, it may be difficult to find such a person.
One example of the pitfalls of localization is the attempt made by Microsoft to keep some keyboard shortcuts significant in local languages. This has resulted in some (but not all) programs in the Italian version of Microsoft Office using "CTRL + S" (sottolineato) as a replacement for "CTRL + U" (underline), rather than the (almost) universal "Save" function.
Costs and benefits
In a commercial setting, the benefit from localization is access to more markets. However, there are considerable costs involved, which go far beyond just engineering. First, software must generally be re-engineered to make it world-ready.
Then, providing a localization package for a given language is in itself a non-trivial undertaking, requiring specialized technical writers to construct a culturally appropriate syntax for potentially complicated concepts, coupled with engineering resources to deploy and test the localization elements. Further, business operations must adapt to manage the production, storage and distribution of multiple discrete localized products, which are often being sold in completely different currencies, regulatory environments and tax regimes.
Finally, sales, marketing and technical support must also facilitate their own operations in the new languages, in order to support customers for the localized products. Particularly for relatively small language populations, it may thus never be economically viable to offer a localized product. Even where large language populations could justify localization for a given product, and a product's internal structure already permits localization, a given software developer/publisher may lack the size and sophistication to manage the ancillary functions associated with operating in multiple locales. For example, Microsoft Windows 7 has 96 language packs available.[13]
One alternative, most often used by open source software communities, is self-localization by teams of end-users and volunteers. The KDE3 project, for example, has been translated into over 100 languages, and KDE4 is available in 68.[14] However, self-localization requires that the underlying product first be engineered to support such activities, which is a non-trivial endeavor.

Kris, also known as Crystal, is the female playable character in Crystal, her first and only game. She was the first ever playable female character in the Pokémon games. In the Generation IV remakes of Gold and Silver, HeartGold and SoulSilver, she was replaced by Lyra.
Kris is medium height and slim. She has long teal-blue hair tied in low bunches behind her ears and spiked bangs at the front, dark eyes and pale peach skin. She wears a yellow seamed-cap, a white jacket with red stripes on the cuffs over a crimson red turtleneck sweater, a black necklace, yellow and black bike Lycra skinny fit shorts, with white ankle-style socks, and red & white hi-top shoes with black stripes. She also has a beige shoulder bag.
|This section is completely EMPTY!
Please help the Pokémon Wiki by expanding it.
In Crystal, Kris is a young trainer from the Johto region, who sets out to prove herself three years after Red became the Pokémon League Champion. Kris is the female protagonist in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Pokémon Crystal. Kris's journey as a Pokémon trainer begins when Professor Elm asks her to run an errand for Mr. Pokémon, who lives north of Cherrygrove City. Because she may encounter dangerous wild Pokémon along the way, Elm gives her a choice between three Pokémon to protect her: Cyndaquil, Totodile or Chikorita.
Kris meets a boy her age watching Elm's Lab from outside. When she tries to talk to him the boy abruptly shoves her away. The boy, Silver, will become Kris's rival, analogous to Blue in Generation I. Kris continues onward and finally meets Mr. Pokémon and completes her errand. While there she meets Professor Oak who, upon realizing Kris's bond with her new Pokémon, gives her a Pokédex. On her way back home, Kris again meets Silver, who has stolen one of Elm's remaining Pokémon. After defeating/being defeated by the boy in battle, she learns his name and relays it to the police in New Bark Town. Professor Elm allows Kris to keep the Pokémon she chose earlier, and encourages her to compete in the Johto League.
From there Kris begins on a Pokémon journey in the Johto region, facing off against its eight Gym Leaders, defeating and disbanding the newly reformed Team Rocket, and becoming League Champion by defeating the Elite Four and its previous Champion, Lance at the Indigo Plateau. Along the way she also teaches Silver to respect Pokémon as living creatures and not just as tools for battle. After being declared the League Champion, Kris then takes a short trip on a ship, the S.S. Aqua, from Olivine City to Vermilion City in Kanto. Journeying across that region, she battles against its own set of eight Gym Leaders, including two new faces, Janine, who replaced her father Koga on his promotion to the Elite Four, and Blue, who was formerly League Champion himself, and replaced Giovanni after the latter fled. Upon getting permission from Professor Oak in Pallet Town, Kris heads for Mt. Silver via Route 28. Her journey comes to a close when she finally faces the legendary trainer Red deep in Mt. Silver's cave, who had been training there since shortly after he became League Champion three years prior.

- Her name is a play on the word and a nickname for the female name "crystal" (Crystal). The name "Kris" is also her first default name in Pokémon Crystal.
- Kris is the first female protagonist to be playable in a Pokémon game.
- Crystal and Stadium 2 were the only games she appeared in.
- Kris begins her journey at around 10 years of age. In the official timeline, Gen II parallels Gen IV, and takes place three years after Gen I /Gen III/ORAS. Since Red is around the ages of 21-31 as of Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, that would make Kris around 18-28 years of age by the same time period.

From her jail cell in 1918, she would become the first woman elected to the British House of Commons, though she refused to take her seat. Instead, she helped form a legislature in Ireland, and later became the first female cabinet minister in Europe.
But before all that happened, she made an unsuccessful run for Parliament in 1908 from Manchester, England, then joined the Irish republican party, Sinn Féin, and the Daughters of Ireland. The following year, she gave this speech to the Students' National Literary Society, where she considered women's independence at a time when they were considered decorative at best. That contrast--the beautiful idolized woman and the independent one--forms the core of her speech:
Tommy Moore, the popular poet of his day and also many days later, has set Ireland a very low idea of woman to worship. To him, woman is merely sex and an excuse for a drink. Not a companion or a friend, but a beautiful houri holding dominion by her careful manipulation of her sex and her good looks…
The better ideal for women who, whether they like it or not, are living in a work-a-day world, would be – If you want to walk round Ireland, or any other country, dress suitably in short skirts and strong boots, leave your jewels and gold wands in the bank, and buy a revolver. Don't trust to your 'feminine charm' and your capacity for getting on the soft side of men, but take up your responsibilities and be prepared to go your own way depending for safety on your own courage, your own truth and your own common sense, and not on the problematic chivalry of the men you may meet on the way….
A consciousness of their own dignity and worth should be encouraged in women. They should be urged to get away from wrong ideals and false standards of womanhood, to escape from their domestic ruts, their feminine pens...We have got to get rid of the last vestige of the Harem before woman is free as our dream of the future would have her….This speech also was picked out by current Sinn Féin vice president and Dublin Central TD Mary Lou McDonald as her favorite speech. What can you learn from this famous speech?
- Mix high ideals with a realistic call to action: In 1909, votes for women and Irish independence were seen as ideals that would be difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. So Markievicz called on her women listeners to try things that they could imagine themselves doing. To the modern ear, her call for dressing in short skirts and carrying a revolver may sound reactionary--it's certainly the most frequently quoted part of the speech--but it was something that could be achieved. As you can see in the photo, she wasn't afraid to take her own advice.
- Hitch your wagon to a star: Markievicz made it clear in this speech, over and over again, that an independent Ireland without independent women would not do. In talking about the decorative woman versus the active one, she makes the case for a less passive and more activist approach to indpendence for the nation as well. It's a clever approach. In speaking to women's groups on this score, she was perhaps suggesting to any male listeners that women might have an objection if there were independence for the nation, but not for themselves, thus losing a source of votes for the cause. And to women, it suggested that independence for Ireland only really worked if they, too, were independent. As we say today, a win-win.
- Give your audience courage: I sometimes think that few speakers realize that encouragement, or the giving of courage, to an audience can be a powerful tactic, something different from a simple call to action. Much of this speech involves encouragement for the young women she was addressing, helping them to envision themselves active in politics and in running the nation. You might try that in your next speech.
Countess Markievicz School, an annual conference in Dublin, helps keep her public speaking tradition alive today, with an annual lecture in her name and training to encourage women more actively in politics. I'm especially pleased that each "school," once completed, includes a web archive of all the speeches given, with links to video--an important archive of women's speeches.

Interesting how opinions can differ
To me it's most annoying and unrealistic feature. It should be car element that is bouncing, not the whole picture. Human brain immediately adjusts to movement like that and while your whole body shakes, your eyesight it's... more less... clear and focused as your eyeballs counteract the movements or your brain 'adjusts' what eyeball musles are not quick enough to work out. If the real world worked like some rFactor/mods you would need sick bag every time you walk the stairs LOL
The problem that happens with violent vibration is when G forces slow down the blood flow rate and cause the micro blackouts, but the 'stablilization' of the eyesight is always there. At least for the brain that is used to such a workout
as an aside, if you do find that annoying you can reduce it - go into the vehicle mod folder and look for the cockpit info file (you can right-click on it and select 'open with' to open with notepad). There's a line in there called 'CockpitVibrationMag' which can be altered (or reduced to 0) if you find it annoying. (please dont forget, if you race online you may need to create a backup of the cockpit info file to avoid mismatch errors, although i don't remember if this is one of the cross-checked files)

The retail marketing campaign is designed to raise consumer awareness about Ohio grown specialty crops by giving Ohioans expanded opportunities to sample and purchase locally grown, farm fresh produce from their local grocers.
Nearly 100 independently owned grocery retailers are participating in the OH So Fresh initiative in 2013. A full list of participating grocers is available here.
Ohio has more than 2,000 specialty crop growers providing everything from asparagus to zucchini.
"Although Ohio grown produce is abundant at farmers' markets, farm stands, and through community supported agriculture programs, the majority of Ohioans turn to their local grocery stores for the bulk of their grocery purchases. That's why it's critical that growers and grocers are working together to offer locally grown food at these stores," said Milo Petruziello, OEFFA Program Associate. "Shoppers increasingly want to support local farmers, and this marketing campaign will help to let them know what Ohio grown foods are available at their local grocery store."
The campaign provides promotional materials to grocers, so customers will easily identify locally grown produce by the OH So Fresh label. Sampling and demonstration events will also take place at some stores; event announcements will be made on the campaign's Facebook page throughout the summer and fall.
The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) is a non-profit organization founded in 1979 by farmers, gardeners, and conscientious eaters who committed to work together to create and promote a sustainable and healthful food and farming system. For more information, go to www.oeffa.org.

EDMONTON - Defending champion Glenn Howard moved into the lead at the Canadian men's curling championship as the only undefeated team left in the field.
His Ontario rink was unbeaten at 7-0 at the Tim Hortons Brier after Wednesday night's draw.
"The best thing is that second number stays at zero," Howard said.
With a 7-3 win over New Brunswick's James Grattan, Howard's team is working on a 17-game winning streak going back to last year's Brier in Saskatoon. They went 10-1 there en route to the title with their lone loss to Jamie Koe of the Territories.
"When we've won games in the past, we've had to struggle to get them and sneak them out and manufacture ways to win," Howard said.
"What I like here is we've really played solid all the way through, really haven't been in trouble too many ends. When we have, we get out of them. We're playing at a high level and seem to be keeping that momentum. The key is we have to keep it up. If we start to falter now, it's not going to be good enough at the end."
Brad Gushue of Newfoundland and Labrador lost his first game of the tournament — a 9-5 defeat at the hands of Manitoba's Jeff Stoughton — and was 7-1. Three-time Canadian champion Stoughton improved to 6-1.
The top four teams at the conclusion of the round robin Friday night advance to the Page playoff. Ties for fourth are solved by tiebreaker games. While 7-4 has been good enough for playoffs or tiebreaker games some years, eight wins is considered safer playoff territory.
"We've still got to win a few games to guarantee us something," Stoughton said.
Gushue's young curling team made the most of a benevolent schedule for their first seven games, but their last four opponents in the round-robin are winners of at least one Canadian championship, if not multiple titles.
After the loss to Manitoba, Gushue's St. John's team faces Ontario on Thursday followed by four-time Canadian champion Kevin Martin and 2006 winner Jean-Michel Menard of Quebec on Friday.
"You always want to win the games you're supposed to win and in the worst case, split the rest and see where you are at the end of it," Gushue said.
The subplot of the game between Manitoba and Newfoundland was Stoughton's lead Mark Nichols faced his former skip for the first time at a Brier. Nichols, from Labrador City, was Gushue's third at eight previous Canadian championships and also at the 2006 Olympics in Turin, Italy, where they won gold.
"It was different," Nichols said. "The only different thing was not playing for Newfoundland, for me. My heart and soul is I'm a Newfoundlander. To me, it felt like it was intense. There were no words or jabs or talking or anything like that."
Stoughton's hit for four in the eighth end sealed the win for the Manitobans. Gushue slipped giving his final stone of the end an extra shove while attempting a hit against five with his final stone. The skip got a shot away, but he left a lot of granite in the rings for Stoughton.
"To get rid of four, I probably had to throw it even harder than that," Gushue said. "I would have needed Mark Nichols or someone to throw that for me to make. It had to be real hard to get rid of four of them."
Quebec and Northern Ontario's Brad Jacobs were tied at 5-2 ahead of New Brunswick at 4-4. After losing four of their first five, Martin's Edmonton team won their second in a row to get to 3-4 alongside Saskatchewan's Brock Virtue.
"Obviously four losses at the start is not good," Martin said following an 8-3 win over Koe. "It might even be too many for that matter. But for us, we played well. Come out tomorrow, win two and then we can talk about seeing what the chances are."
Koe's Territories team dropped to 3-5 and are likely out of playoff contention. Prince Edward Island's Eddie MacKenzie won his first game with a 10-7 win over B.C.'s Andrew Bilesky. B.C. and Nova Scotia's Paul Fleming were 0-7.

I have to admit, I'm terrified to take pictures of people in jeans at my gym. My gym is a hardcore lifting gym and it would be very easy for the muscle-bound, grunting, sweating dude carrying around his gallon milk jug filled with water* to pound me to smitherines if he caught me doing it. I know that I certainly don't have the stealth skills to pull it off. Calm and cool? Nope. I'd be awkward and nervous. And most certainly, I'd get busted.
However, if I could get a shot like THIS one, I'd totally be on it:
But know that when I do see people working out in jeans, I first smirk or giggle or shake my head (depending on the person). Then I imagine myself taking a picture, write a hypothetical post about it, and then lovingly think of all of you. That has to count for something, right?
* I am really annoyed by guys that do this. Also, the word "jug" is not used nearly enough (and I don't mean in the "Look at the jugs on her!" sense, Guys).

Microsoft knows you are ready for Vista, like it or not. Microsoftis telling PC manufacturers they will no longer be able to install Windows XP; instead Vista will be only desktop Windows available to OEMs.
Although it's not unusual for Microsoft to push hard for their customers to upgrade to the latest version of Windows, this time they may need to take more care with their customer's feelings. Although Windows still dominates the operating system market, Appleis now a name that most users are comfortable with bothfrom iPods and from iTunes. There are also several Linux distributions working very hard to be easy for non-IT savvy folks. People do have alternatives, more than any time since Windows 95 pulled the rug out from under IBM's OS/2 Warp.
There are a lot of folks that still want to keep XP around, and Dell has a post on the Direct2Dell blog assuaging its customer base. "Dell recognizes the needs of small business customers and understands that more time is needed to transition to a new operating system." Small business and home officeusers are less likely to have an IT team to help smooth the inevitable bumps in the upgrade process, and when your billing system or customer contact database is running on software that's not certain to be compatible with Vista, there is a strong incentive to leave things as they are. Of course, in my experience eventually these machines are left in the corner and will break downeventually – then it's next to impossible to support them. Unfortunatelythat is a fact of life for most small businesses: IT is pain to be avoided as much as possible, and budgets are not big enough to prepare for disaster recovery (or even keeping hardware under support contracts).
There is also rampant speculation that this is the last "real" Microsoftoperating system and that AJAX based web services, cloud based operating system or some other alternative will take the profitability out of selling a general purposedesktop operating system. As Microsoft spends more time on releases, they are certainly leaving the door open to the competition. The question is if anyone will be able to take the reins – or even be able to make Microsoft anything other than the dominating force in the operating system market it is today.

Several reports have arisen concerning the bar fight that broke out between rappers Chris Brown and Drake during the wee hours of Thursday morning. Some say it was Meek Mill, not Drake in the SoHo bar that night. Others say it absolutely was Drake and that there is physical evidence to prove it. Some say there were bottles, others say guns, some say it was about Rihanna, a $2,000 bottle of champagne and a note (in the conservatory! with the candlestick!), and no one seems to be sure.
One fact is clear — bottles were thrown across the room injuring five bystanders and leaving Chris Brown with a gash in his chin, which he soon after tweeted a picture of along with several vulgar comments about the events. The NYPD is currently investigating many of the other claims, including the possible shots fired.
The profane tweets and the picture were both removed by Brown, but as they well know, the Internet never forgets. A number of retweets still point to the photo of Brown's bloodied chin.
Chippd chin RT @chrisbrown: Bottles? It's nothing! Lol po.st/ss8mjB/—
Queen B (@brii_35) June 14, 2012
Brown has since spoken with police, and a representative went on formal record saying that Brown and his girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, had been victims of a "brutal attack." Brown's management also tried to do damage control, tweeting Friday that "There were no punches thrown, just glass." What a relief.
There was no bottle sent to @drake and there was no note! Stop the lies, TMZ/MTO!!!! There were no punches thrown, just glass.—
Phase Too Inc. (@PhaseToo) June 15, 2012
Most of the reports agree that the fight had something to do with the singer Rihanna — Brown's ex-girlfriend — whom he was infamously arrested for beating. Rihanna briefly dated Drake after Brown but the relationship was short lived due to Rihanna's "fragile" state from her relationship with Brown. Brown and Rihanna have since collaborated on songs, leading some sources to report that the two are now on better terms.
Drake's representation released a statement saying that the singer was on his way out of the club when the alleged fight broke out and that "he did not engage in any activity which resulted in injury to person or damage to property." Drake told police he was unable to speak with them because of a concert but said he would contact his attorney at a more convenient time.
The plot, we're sure, will continue to thicken.

On Exhibit
Animal Facts
Scientific Name
Ophiodon elongatus
Animal Type
fish, crabs, octopuses
to 5 feet (1.5 m), 70 pounds (32 kg); females are larger than males
painted greenlings, kelp greenlings; Family: Hexagrammidae
Gulf of Alaska to Baja California; found only off the west coast of North America
Natural History
Lingcod are unique to the west coast of North America. They dwell on rocky reefs and ocean bottoms, in depths between 30 and 300 feet (9 to 100 m). Their color ranges from dark brown or black to blue or green. Their underbellies are lighter. A lingcod's coloration makes this ambush predator well camouflaged in its rocky hideaway. Lingcod rely on surprise to capture prey—and on their large mouths, which have 18 sharp teeth to hold their catch securely. Their small, pointed teeth are interspersed with large, fanglike teeth.
Like most bottom dwellers, lingcod are solitary fish and usually stray only a short distance from their rocky home base. Young lingcod prefer sandy or muddy bottoms in bays and inshore areas.
Our Seafood Watch program rates lingcod as a sustainable seafood "Good Alternative." The population of lingcod on the U.S. West Coast has experienced long-term declines due to overfishing but appears to be stabilizing. About half of the lingcod that is caught by commercial fisheries is caught using bottom trawling a fishing method that results in considerable habitat damage. As a result, lingcod is not a "Best Choice" until measures are taken to minimize damage from trawling gear along their rocky habitats on the seafloor. For more details, visit the Seafood Watch section of our web site.
Cool Facts
The female usually produces between 60,000 and 500,000 eggs. The gelatinous egg mass weighs up to 15 pounds (7 kg) and measures 2.5 feet (76 cm) across. Raw lingcod flesh sometimes has a greenish color, but it's harmless. The flesh turns white when cooked.
During spawning season, lingcod migrate into nearshore areas. The male arrives first and establishes a territory on a rocky substrate in strong water currents. As long as a month later, the female arrives and chooses a male partner, then swims over the site and deposits a layer of eggs. The male follows and deposits a layer of sperm. They repeat their layers until spawning is over, whereupon the female leaves. The male aggressively guards the egg mass for eight to 10 weeks until the eggs hatch. Males attack fish predators but allow sea urchins, sunflower stars and snails to feed on the eggs. While guarding eggs, lingcod have been known to attack humans.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Teddy Bridgewater threw for 348 yards and two touchdowns to keep No. 7 Louisville undefeated with a 30-7 win over winless Temple on Saturday.
Bridgewater made it look easy against the overwhelmed Owls (0-5, 0-2 American Athletic Conference). He threw for 228 yards in the first half to help the Cardinals roll to a 24-0 lead.
The Cardinals (5-0, 1-0) lost a bid for their second straight shutout when Temple scored with 38 seconds left.
Louisville receiver DeVante Parker, who has six touchdown catches this season, left in the first half with an injured right shoulder. Without one of his favorite targets, Bridgewater was still impressive, completing 25 of 35 passes. He threw a TD pass for the 17th straight game.
Under first-year coach Matt Rhule, the Owls remained winless in program history against top-10 teams.
Bridgewater looked at ease playing at the home of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles, one of the many teams on hand scouting the junior who could be the top pick in next year's draft.
Yes, it's been easy for most quarterbacks to pick apart the Owls, but Bridgewater was particularly on point. He found the open receivers, hit them in double coverage, and scrambled when he needed to make throws on the run.
He completed 15 of his first 17 attempts, and the Owls had no way to stop him.
Temple has never defeated a Top 10 team and has only two wins against 87 ranked opponents in program history.
Bridgewater wasted no time giving the Owls a taste of the 60 minutes of trouble ahead. On the opening drive, he hit Ryan Hubbell for a 36-yard reception that put the Cardinals on the 5. He made the Owls bite on a fake rush, then rolled to his right and hit an open Gerald Christian for the 1-yard touchdown.
Bridgewater was 7 of 9 for 133 yards and a TD in the quarter, and John Wallace added a 22-yard field goal for a 10-0 lead. Parker, who had two catches for 44 yards, left in the quarter holding his shoulder.
It was more of the same in the second quarter. Dominique Brown had a 2-yard TD run and Bridgewater found Eli Wallace for a 15-yard score to send the Cardinals into halftime with 325 yards of total offense and a 24-0 lead.
The only surprise may have been that the final score wasn't worse. After all, the last time Louisville played Temple (2006) at Lincoln Financial Field, the Cardinals won 62-0. Bridgewater tied a career high with five touchdown passes last season in a 45-17 win over the Owls.
The Owls had already lost this season to Fordham and Idaho, so there was little reason for optimism they'd pull off the shocker of the season.
Rhule benched junior QB Connor Reilly in the second quarter after he started 3 of 7 for 25 yards. Freshman P.J. Walker gave the offense an instant jolt with a 58-yard pass to Robby Anderson that put the Owls on the 12.
The Owls had a 23-yard field goal attempt blocked.
Walker forced a throw into double coverage in the third quarter and had his pass intercepted in the end zone. He threw a 9-yard TD pass to Jalen Fitzpatrick with 38 seconds left in the game.
Wallace added field goals of 20 and 25 yards in the second half.

Dear Annie: How can I deal with the demands of being a high school senior? I am overwhelmed.
Between homework, my job, a social life, sports and family time, there are not enough hours in the day. All of these things are important to me, but I don't know how to balance them. Please don't suggest I give up any of them, because they are all dear to my heart.
— Distressed in Duanesburg
Dear Distressed: No one expects you to enter high school knowing how to perfectly balance your life. This is when you are supposed to learn ways to do it, and there may be a great deal of trial and error in the process because you are juggling more responsibility. That's OK. You don't have to give these things up, but you may have to scale back. Perhaps one sport instead of two, fewer hours at your job or telling your friends you can't go out on Saturday because you have to finish a paper.
This is a good time to recognize that you can't do everything, so you need to prioritize. Schoolwork comes first. Talk to your parents or the school counselor about the rest. We are confident that you'll figure it out.
Dear Annie: Although my husband and I have been married for 13 years, we only recently bought our first home. We previously lived in a small apartment.
We are planning to have our first housewarming party once we have fully unpacked and the house is ready for company. Would it be OK to register for things we'd like to have and include the information in our invitations? Or is it best to keep a "private" registration and inform only those who ask what we need?
— Can't Wait To Share New Home
Dear Can't Wait: Except for showers, it is never a good idea to put information about gift registries into an invitation. It says "buy me things" and that the gift is the point of the party, instead of focusing on the friendship. You may give suggestions to people who specifically ask you what you want, and if you have one or two close friends or family members, you can allow them to pass the word, as well.
Dear Annie: I read another letter in your column regarding a woman's lack of libido and the husband who found sex elsewhere. Whenever that complaint pops up, everyone makes suggestions, usually for the woman to seek medical attention.
Well, I've done that. Every male doctor I asked just laughed and suggested that maybe a "boyfriend" could turn me on. It is demeaning. I love my husband and have no intention of cheating. The problem is, no male anywhere "turns me on." The female doctors I saw tested my hormones, suggested upping my testosterone (which didn't help), or shrugged and said I'd have to wait for a female Viagra.
Nothing helps the frustrated women who wish we could get back our desire. It's time someone found a solution for us, and then we'd feel sexy enough to entice our men so they wouldn't look for pills or affairs. I know I'm not alone. That doesn't solve the problem, but it helps to know many of us are in the same boat.
— Ormond Beach, Fla.
Dear Ormond Beach: We are surprised that any doctor would brush off your complaint with such frivolity. Perhaps some doctors are reluctant to discuss women's sexual issues, but lack of libido is a serious problem for many women, and they deserve a doctor who not only understands the issue, but is willing to treat it appropriately. Of course, there is as yet no miracle drug that will bring back your libido, although we suspect researchers are hard at work on it. It's too lucrative a market to ignore.

Editor's note: Errol Louis is the host of "Inside City Hall," a nightly political show on NY1, a New York all-news channel. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author.
(CNN) -- The tragic death of Eric Garner at the hands of the NYPD -- a fatal scuffle caught in all its horror in a video shot by a bystander -- is, in part, the product of a nationally recognized police strategy, "broken windows." It may have outlived its usefulness in many parts of New York.
Garner, a father of six, was allegedly a low-level street hustler, a "buttlegger" illegally selling cigarettes one at a time or in packs without taxes applied. When police approached and tried to arrest Garner -- something they'd done before — the man jumped up, complaining that he had no goods on him, had not been dealing and didn't want to be hassled.
The cops swarmed Garner, with at least one appearing to choke Garner and press on his neck as he gasped, eight times: "I can't breathe." You can see the disturbing video here. He died shortly afterward.
As the video went viral, community protests and vigils mounted. A central issue in the protests is the fact that the video shows one officer, Daniel Pantaleo grabbing Garner by the neck and pressing down on his head and chest, in apparent violation of a police rule that bans such choke holds.
"Members of the New York City Police Department will not use choke holds," Section 203-11 of the NYPD Patrol Guide says. "A choke hold shall include, but is not limited to, any pressure to the throat or windpipe, which may prevent or hinder breathing or reduce intake of air."
Two of the officers involved in the incident have been assigned to desk duties with their guns taken away. NYPD Commissioner William Bratton has promised a "top to bottom" retraining of every member of NYPD in how to arrest people, as well as a review of the department's use-of-force policies. Bratton has also met with the FBI in anticipation of a possible federal lawsuit alleging that Garner's civil rights were violated.
Choke holds were banned 20 years ago after the death of a young man, Anthony Baez, who was killed in a confrontation with police after a football he was tossing with friends hit a police car. The officer who choked Baez to death was ultimately sentenced to seven years in prison. Bratton was recently re-appointed to the top post after a long stint in Los Angeles, giving the latest incident an eerie deja-vu quality.
Despite the ban on choke holds, new incidents continue to pile up: The NYPD's Civilian Complaint Review Board received more than 1,000 complaints about the use of choke holds between 2009 and 2013, but punished only nine officers, none of them with anything more serious than a loss of vacation days.
The Rev. Al Sharpton has vowed to press the NYPD and Mayor Bill de Blasio on the investigation of the Garner case, which has been turned over to the local district attorney.
But the larger question remains: Why was a team of six officers enforcing an almost laughably low-level crime like selling loose cigarettes for 50 cents apiece?
The answer lies in New York's dramatically successful experiment with battling an out-of-control crime wave in the early 1990s, much of it built on a "broken windows" theory first developed by criminologists George Kelling and the late James Q. Wilson and laid out in a famous 1982 Atlantic Monthly magazine article.
The idea is shorthand for a phenomenon known to sociologists: Leaving an otherwise safe building with an unfixed broken window signals to criminals that nobody cares about the property, which quickly becomes a haven for prostitution, drug dealing and serious crimes.
With murders back then hitting more than 2,000 per year, NYPD cops were told by Bratton to stop waiting for the next 911 call and tasked with enforcing seemingly minor "quality of life" matters like public urination, panhandling and vandalism that made people feel unsafe.
The strategy provided an immediate payoff. Cops doing quality-of-life patrols in the subways discovered that people jumping the turnstile (entering without paying) often turned out to have drugs, guns or outstanding warrants.
Most turnstile-jumpers weren't dangerous felons, but it turned out that dangerous felons often didn't bother to pay the fare. So enforcing small violations helped catch truly dangerous criminals.
Even more important, when streets and subways began to feel safer, more people used them -- and the very presence of more law-abiding citizens always acts as a deterrent to crime (it creates more witnesses who are likely to point out the bad guys to cops or actually intervene to stop certain kinds of crimes).
Bratton, an architect of the broken windows revolution in policing, appears to be going back to his old playbook during his second tour as commander of the NYPD: So far this year, officers have arrested 240 subway performers, who do such things as break dance and perform backflips on moving trains.
But the Garner case shows it may be time to revise, reduce or scrap broken windows policing, at least in some neighborhoods.
When Bratton became commissioner for the first time, in 1994, the city had just finished a year with 2,420 murders. The number last year was just 333. The subways aren't out of control, the break dancers aren't carrying weapons, and low-level cigarette hustlers aren't causing the kind of disorder the city weathered in the 1990s.
As Garner is laid to rest and the cops involved get whatever fate the court system has in store, the NYPD should re-evaluate how much force and attention it needs to train on low-level crime in a much safer city.
