Language Manager
Language Support
Language Support
Chummer now supports multiple languages! All language files must be placed in the Chummer\lang directory. Translations are handled through two files: a User Interface translation file, and a Data translation file. New strings may be added throughout the development of Chummer as new functionality becomes available. Any new strings that are added or modified will be listed in the revision notes for each update that is released.
Language Fallback
Because of Chummer's constantly-evolving nature, the
Language Manager
allows for language fallback. If a string does not exist in the language that is selected, it will instead use the English version of the string to prevent something from appearing completely blank. When the application loads, the Language Manager reads in all of the English strings and matches them with their keys. If a different language has been selected, it then reads the language file and replaces the English version of strings with those in the file based on matching keys (meaning that if an entry is not found in the language file, the English value is at least present).
User Interface Translations
All UI strings are handled by the Language Manager. When Chummer starts, the Language Manager reads in the contents of the lang\en-us.xml file which contains the English version of all UI strings. Without this file, Chummer cannot load. Once the English strings are loaded, the Language Manager then reads the selected language file (as long as it is not en-us) and replaces its English content with the content of the language file based on matching keys. If a key exists in the selected language file that does not exist in the English content, it is ignored. If a key exists in the English content that does not exist in the selected language file, the English content is used instead. This prevents fields from being mysteriously left blank or throwing errors.
All language files must be placed in the Chummer\lang directory and must end in .xml. When creating a new language, it is easiest to copy the en-us.xml file and use that as a starting point. When editing a language file, only the contents of the version, name, and text tags may be changed. The contents of the key tags must remain exactly as they are - this is how the Language Manager matches strings to replace the English content with the content in the language file.
Special Characters
The UI translation file make use of a number of C-style special characters.
start a new line of text
are replaced by values withing Chummer. These are used in places such as
The save file {0} could not be found.
where {0} is replaced by the file name. If these are present in an English string then your translated string must also contain these to work properly. You cannot add additional values as Chummer can only replace values it knows about.
before a character marks it as a key mnemonic (press Alt+the key mnemonic to trigger the button without having to click it). For example: &Add Cyberware would appear as
dd Cyberware and would be triggered when you pressed Alt+A.
creates an ampersand character. For example: Vehicles && Drones would appear as Vehicles & Drones.
Data Translations
All data translations are placed in a single file. Like the User Interface translation file, this file must be placed in the Chummer\lang directory. It must also be named in a specific manner; if your UI translation file is called fr.xml, your data translation file must be called fr_data.xml.
A single translation file is used for all data. There are multiple
nodes within the document. Each has a file attribute that indicates the particular data file is to be translated.
When creating entries, the
tag must exactly match the
of an item from the source data file. This is essentially the unique key for the item and is how Chummer matches a data item up with its translation information. There are only a few tags that are supported in the data translation file. They are:
- the translated name of the item
- page number that the item can be found on in the native language book
- alternate short-hand code for the book in its native language (applies to books.xml only)
If an item does not need to be translated or given a different page number, you do not need to create an entry for it in the data translation file.
The easiest way to get a better understanding of the data translation file, and to use as a starting point for your own translations, is to use the French translation files that are included with Chummer (fr.xml and fr_data.xml).
Verifying Translations
You can verify the contents of translation files through the
window. Select the language you would like to check, then click on the Verify or Verify Data buttons.
Verifying UI Translations
The Verify button verifies the contents of the User Interface translation file. It checks the English UI file and compares it against the selected UI translation file. If a key exists in the English file that does not exist in the translation file, or if a key exists in the translation file that does not exist in the English file, the mismatched keys are shown in a message box. Keys that do not exist in the English file are ignored as the application has no knowledge of them.
Verifying Data Translations
The Verify Data button verifies the contents of the Data translation file. The verification process may take a moment as it checks the contents of each data file. When the process is done, you will receive a message saying that the results have been written to an XML file.
The file lists the results for each data file (matched by a
tag). Any item with an attribute of
means that Chummer could not find a matching item; either the data file does not exist (in the case of a
tag), or an item with the given name does not exist within the data file. The results file will also list any required tags that are missing for the translated item if applicable.
Always-English Content
Some content will always be in English, largely because they are either not part of the game or not directly a part of the application and outside of the scope of translation support. The items that are not translated are:
Verify and Verify Data File buttons in the Options window. It is assumed that someone translating content from English to another language can read English and these are only useful to translators.
Content in Omae that is brought in from a webservice which is most of the filtering criteria and all of the user-created content.
Chummer Wiki, linked from the Help menu which brings you to this site.
Release Notes, linked from the Help menu. This is just a simple text file that describes what has changed between different versions and I'm sure nobody wants to take the time to translate these every time there's an update.
About, linked from the Help menu. This is basically the disclaimer of "I don't own the Shadowrun name, game system, etc." so it's not something that anyone should be able to modify.

Diablo III has its share of annoyances — lost progress due to connection difficulties, the delayed auction house, hackers stealing your gear… but the most annoying of all may well be cheaters.
In an update on the Diablo III blog ominously titled "Cheating in Diablo III", Blizzard has drawn a line in the sand. They're about to start getting serious with cheaters, and none will be spared.
Blizzard Entertainment has always taken cheating in any form in Blizzard games very seriously, and that's no different for Diablo® III. If a Diablo III player is found to be cheating or using hacks, bots, or modifications in any form, then as outlined in the Diablo III end user licence agreement, that player can be permanently banned from the game. This means that the player will be permanently unable to log in to Battle.net® to play Diablo III with his or her account.
Playing Diablo III legitimately means playing with an unaltered game client. Doing otherwise violates our policies for Battle.net and Diablo III, and it goes against the spirit of fair play that all of our games are based on. We strongly recommend that you avoid using any hacks, cheats, bots, or exploits. Suspensions and bans of players that have used or start using cheats and hacks will begin in the near future.
Nice. Go forth, Ser Blizz, and wield your banhammer without mercy.

Hi Agnishom,
You mean as in the one given here: wiki?
Put h = k = m = 1, and you have this equation.

"Data! Data! Data!" he cried impatiently. "I can't make bricks without clay."
He can put it in standard form with a rotation of 45 degrees clockwise and a translation by the √2
Just involves the substitutions
and then replacing x1 by x1+ √2.
You might download this
rename the file to Rotation of Axes.pdf This will explain some of this, won't make you as good as scientia or bob bundy with these transformation problems but it is a start.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
hi bobbym
Like the light sabre by the way. You beat me to it.
Agnishom: Here's my version:
Substitute* x = X +1 and y = Y + 1, where X and Y are new variables.
So we now have a more familiar XY = 0 (the rectangular hyperbola)
Now substitute* X = x/a - y/b and Y = x/a + y/b
* substitutions like these preserve the hyperbolic nature of the curve.

Sometimes I deliberately make mistakes, just to test you! …………….Bob Bundy
When this is substituted into the original equation, the term inis
We want this to vanish, so anysuch that and will do. So we take . Hence
Thus under the transformation the curvebecomes the hyperbola . Furthermore as the transformation
represents a clockwise rotation of 45° about the origin followed by an enlargement ofat the origin, the conic section is preserved, i.e. the original curve is indeed a hyperbola.
NB: Be careful when using linear transformations on curves: only rotations, reflections and enlargements/contractions by a nonzero factor preserve conic sections. Any other transformation may distort the curve and alter its original nature.
Ok thanks

Before and After: Capitol Hill Renovation
A historic row house gets a fresh attitude in this smart remodel
A stroll through the historic Capitol Hill neighborhood proves that even in high-powered Washington, D.C., politics isn't the only game in town. Teens play softball in a park surrounded by historic row houses, restaurants, and coffee shops. Bicyclists toting groceries in backpacks head home from the Eastern Market, the oldest fresh-food market in D.C. Everywhere, people are on the streets—walking home from school, from work, or to a major league baseball game at the nearby Nationals Park that's an architectural home run.
"It's like living in a small town in the big city," says Karen Sealander. The amenities and recent reawakening of this neighborhood are what inspired Karen and her husband, Winfield, to renovate their 1890s Capitol Hill row house not once, but twice.
Like the neighborhood, their house has had its ups and downs. When the Sealanders bought it in the late 1980s, the three-level brick structure was painted "ugly brown," and the front yard was concrete. "It was totally dilapidated, a real eyesore," says Winfield. The house was built as a single-family residence but—like many in the area—had been converted to a rooming house in the 1940s, when there was a housing shortage.
"I originally bought the house for speculation," says Winfield, "but when Karen saw it, she liked the fact that it was within walking distance of work, church, a fabulous elementary school (Capitol Hill Day School), and extracurricular activities for the children, including dance, choir, and sports programs. Plus, there were nearby corner grocery stores and restaurants.
"We moved to the Hill [from Alexandria, Virginia] because we both worked in the city and, with the arrival of our daughter Olivia, we wanted to put down roots and become more home-centered."
The Sealanders gutted and restored the house to suit their growing family's needs (a second daughter, Caroline, was born soon after the move) and created space for a live-in au pair suite and a separate two-bedroom rental unit on the lower level. "The renovation was designed with an eye for resale at some future date," says Winfield, who is a real estate manager and developer.
Flash forward 18 years: Daughters Olivia and Caroline are college age (or close), and the former au pair suite and rental are no longer occupied. "By this time our family was deeply rooted in Capitol Hill, and we couldn't imagine living anywhere else," Karen explains. "We had raised our children with our neighbors, and staying on the Hill was important to us."
It was then that Winfield happened to meet District architectural and interior designer Mary Douglas Drysdale at an area millwork shop. He was impressed with her innovative solutions and invited her to look at their house.
"It started out as a kitchen renovation," says Drysdale, but as the designer walked the rooms, she saw bigger issues. "When I first went in, it felt like a small house with a collection of very small rooms that were not communicating well. They were so full that you didn't get the fact that there were gracious proportions underneath. The circulation of the house was very poor," she relates.
The house was basically one-room wide, with rooms stacked front to back. A narrow staircase in the front hall connected the main living level with the bedrooms upstairs. Tucked underneath the main staircase was a steep and dangerous 21-inch-wide staircase to the lower level.
The connections (or lack of) between rooms made it difficult to limit the project to a kitchen redo, Drysdale explains. Gradually, a whole-house renovation evolved that included adding two staircases (one in the front and one in the back of the house), removing walls, enlarging doorways, and adding columns and moldings on the main level to create flow and make rooms seem spacious.
Building on Karen's love of blue and white, Drysdale introduced a soft blue, off-white, and crisp spring-green palette that visually opens rooms and introduces a fresh attitude while staying true to the Federal style of the house. New wood floors were installed throughout the main level and stained in a classic checkerboard pattern.
The 18-month-long project began at the back of the house with the family's primary access—a dilapidated wood exterior staircase from a ground-level patio to the kitchen on the main level. In order to create a more functional and welcoming rear entrance, Drysdale eliminated the exterior stairs and converted the lower-level former au pair room into a mudroom. An interior staircase was added to connect the mudroom with the kitchen above, dramatically improving the rear entrance and accessibility to both levels. But Drysdale wasn't done.
A front bay window offered an ideal location for a winding staircase that connects the living and dining rooms to the lower level. With the downstairs now easily accessed, the area was transformed into a family room-library and a bedroom suite for Olivia. "Putting those two staircases in absolutely changed the house," Drysdale says. "They really improved the feeling of and accessibility to all the spaces and made the traffic patterns very circular. "
To gain desperately needed square footage for the 9-foot-wide kitchen and breakfast area, the Sealanders eliminated a powder room and were granted a variance for a narrow (about 7x14-foot) two-level addition on one side of the house.
In the front room, Drysdale removed walls and enlarged doorways, converting a cramped living room and formal dining room into a light-filled "double living room." New columns and crown moldings play up the 11-foot-high ceilings. To eliminate the expense of detailed crown moldings ("Every project has a budget, and millwork is expensive," Drysdale explains), trim was embellished with stenciled tone-on-tone motifs that mimic ornate millwork.
Stencil work continues with a small, abstract flowerlike motif in three shades of green on walls around the bay window staircase and on one side of the entry. Green and blue painted stripes march along the front hall and up the main staircase, accentuating the area's height and referencing the spring-green accents in the double living room. "I was interested in bringing the spaces together so they felt bigger," Drysdale says. "Each of these rooms borrows space from the next room. The biggest success was transforming what felt like a small house into one that feels open."
The Sealanders agree. The open and light-filled house nurtures plenty of quality family time. But perhaps the biggest success is living in a "like-new" house in a historic neighborhood they love.

Capitol Hill
Many Capitol Hill homes were built between 1890 and 1905 for the growing number of government workers moving into the District. In the mid-1950s, residents began heading to the suburbs, and Capitol Hill housing went into a decline, culminating in fiery riots in 1968. In the '70s and '80s, homeowners started buying the rundown structures and returning them to single-family residences. Businesses grew, and public parks are now centers of community activities.
Karen, Winfield, and Caroline Sealander are loyal boosters of the Capitol Hill neighborhood.

With only a few seasons under its belt, Italian label MSGM and its irreverent approach to dressing has already left us smitten. And, this collection may be one of its best yet. Pops of bright color, mismatched prints, and soft pastels are the bread and butter of creative director Massimo Giorgetti's playful clothes. And, the decidedly casual styling only makes it more appealing to our real-girl wardrobes. Notice how each lady pairs her outfit with floral, slip-on sneakers? We're totally digging these sporty accents as a contrast to the more feminine silhouettes featured throughout. And, it goes without saying that we're always into footwear that's just as comfy as it is chic.
So, if you're wondering how to encapsulate that cool-girl attitude in an outfit, look no further.

Ladies, let's face it, being a woman in a man's world has never exactly been easy. However, women today would not have the same rights that we do without the generations of suffragettes who used their voices for change. This is what Focus Pictures is trying to celebrate with the upcoming historical drama, Suffragette.
Already getting early awards buzz, Suffragette stars an incomparable trio of ladies: Meryl Streep, Helena Bonham Carter and Carey Mulligan. Plus, Brendan Gleeson, Anne-Marie Duff, Ben Whishaw and Samuel West round out the cast.
Here are the two character posters/portraits that were released earlier this week:
Suffragette is premiering at the London Film Festival on October 7 and hitting theaters in North America on October 23. If you haven't seen the trailer yet, definitely something you do not want to miss:

Bike Club hits the streets in Islington
Bike Club hits the streets in Islington
The second London Borough of Islington Community Rides Bike Club ride got off to a good start, with 40 people attending.
A bad weather forecast put off some of the 80 who had booked on but they should have ventured out because despite it being blustery, the sun shone and it was a lovely day for cycling.
Bike Club runs family rides to encourage local people to explore the Borough on two wheels and to make them aware of cycle training that the Borough offers to young people and adults.
Anyone who is keen to start running their own community rides can get the necessary training and support at the Bike Club workshops to do this. The session on the same day as the ride was very well attended.
We set off at 11 from Rosemary Gardens after all bikes had been checked by qualified mechanics and any needing attention were made safe.
I will be riding to Victoria Park with my daughter now I know a good cycling route. We were driving over with the bikes but it is so easy this way we can leave the car at home!
An inspired parent
The rides are very well organised, fully marshalled and suitable for all ages. The summer holidays encouraged local young people to join in with a healthy and enjoyable cycling activity on one of their days off.
We stopped off at Victoria Park for lunch before wending our way back to the start, where all riders gave feedback on the ride and got a Barclays goodie bag with useful things for cycling thing like local cycling maps and water bottles.
You can book your place on future rides here. If you are interested in running your own community rides in Islington please contact David Shannon for details of the Ride Leader workshops.

20 By Hal Higdon It can be stated with precise mathematical certainty that the majority of readers of this article— unless they change their pattern of living—will; a) die too soon, b) enjoy life too little. This is the burden carried by the average American. Consider the statistics. Despite easy access to the best of medical facilities, the American male ranks only seventeenth in longevity among the major nations of the world. American women rank tenth in longevity, but their death rate from heart disease is the highest of women in any country, "More than half the deaths in the United States today are caused by cardiovascular ailments and the numbers are growing," claims Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D., professor of medicine at Baylor University and author of Your Heart and How to Live with It. "Worse, these ailments are reaching younger and younger people. For this reason, contrary to the popular misconception, our life expectancy has not improved appreciably in the last two decades despite advances elsewhere in the field of health." pacing 20 30 The cause is that Americans have passed into what Kenneth H. Cooper, M.D., describes as "an era of physical passivity," Dr. Cooper, a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Air Force Medical Corps, is the author of the best-selling fitness book Aerobics. Autopsies on American teenagers killed as soldiers during the Korean war showed arteriosclerosis already prevalent. Autopsies on more active Korean youth, however, showed little arteriosclerotic development. Numerous studies in past years comparing people in vigorous occupations (such as letter carriers vs. sedentary jobs such as business executives) show less heart disease among the former. In one classic health study comparing London bus conductors (who had to climb stairs to an upper deck) with their drivers, the drivers came out second best. How would public accountants rank in such studies? When was the last time you carried anything heavier than an H&S workbag? How far do you walk to get from your desk to the coffee machine? Public accountants might be compared to drivers, who also work from the seat of their pants. They face 30 40 more mental than physical strain. There also is a period of peak stress For the driver it comes in rush hour traffic, while the CPA has his busy season after the first of the year. A person interested in health and a long life might look at the numbers and switch his job to that of a postman or bus conductor. Not necessarily. First, how long has it been since you saw a postal letter carrier on foot—or a double-decker bus? The era of physical passivity has engulfed us all. Second, a study published recently in the Metropolitan Life Statistical Bulletin noted that men listed in Who's Who in America (business executives included) lived longer than men in the general population. Seemingly this disproved the active vs. sedentary theories; however, there was a hooker. "The favorable mortality observed among the prominent men," so read the report, "is believed to reflect in large measure their physical and emotional fitness for positions of responsibility." Thus, if you stay in good health you more likely will be in a position to make Who's Who. (Ambitious young executives, please note.) The question becomes: how do you stay in good health? Particularly as an employee of Haskins & Sells, how do yourself 40 -

13th Overall: Chicago White Sox
The White Sox are in trouble. They're a middling team at best and their farm system is the worst in baseball. Maybe it's time for a little bit of a philosophy change. The White Sox minor league starting pitching is absolutely horrendous, and rather than another safe college pick, the White Sox could go for upside in the form of Olympia, FL High School right-hander Walker Weickel.
Weickel is a big, projectable pitcher at 6'6″, 200, and even though he has more velocity to come, his current arsenal is already promising. His fastball ranges from 89 to 92 MPH with his fastball and has his 95 MPH, and he takes advantage of his height to throw the pitch with a nice downward plane and good sink. As he fills out, Weickel's fastball could be a plus pitch in the mid-90′s. Weickel's fastball may be better paired with a slider with a nice horizontal movement, but he currently throws a 12 to 6 curveball that has plus potential with big, late break. He complements his two team pitches with a low-80′s changeup that should definitely be at least an average pitch going forward. Weickel would give the White Sox a pitching prospect with the potential to be an ace or at least a number two, something they are severely lacking. The question is whether the White Sox will be willing to acknowledge their past mistakes and completely shift their draft strategy. If they don't do so, I could see them taking Florida two-way player Brian Johnson, who would probably turn into another 3rd starter prospect in the White Sox weak organization. It makes sense for the White Sox will go with the former option, and their fans have a right to be upset if they don't.
The Pick: Walker Weickel, RHP, Olympia High School, FL
48th Overall: Chicago White Sox (Compensation for Mark Buehrle)
If the White Sox are known for anything, it's for rushing top prospects through the minors. If they're inevitably going to do that anyway, they might as well draft players who can handle such rapid movement. Oklahoma State left-hander Andrew Hearney fits that mold.
Hearney, a slender, projectable lefty at 6'2″, 175, is the most advanced pitcher in the 2012 MLB Draft. He's a "thinking man's pitcher", possessing a four-pitch arsenal and does things few pitchers his age or even in general do, such as purposely varying arm slots to befuddle hitters. Hearney's fastball currently ranges from the high-80′s to low-90′s with some nice late movement, but he could have a couple more MPH in him after he fills out. His best secondary pitch is a curveball with quick descent that flashes plus. His remaining two pitches are a two-seam fastball with late cutting action and a changeup with some sink. Hearney should be able to fly through the minors and he has a chance to be in the back end of a big league rotation by early 2013. He currently profiles as a safe bet to be a 3rd or 4th starter in the big leagues, but if he can fill out his frame and get some more velocity on his fastball while also improving his secondary pitches, he could have number two starter upside. In a White Sox system with a dearth of pitching, Hearney can provide a stable presence that could zoom through the minors.
The Pick: Andrew Hearney, LHP, Oklahoma State University
Draft pick projections for Round 2 and Round 3 are below:
76th Overall: Chicago White Sox
The White Sox going for upside? Unheard of. The White Sox have always been a very conservative team in the draft. But if they want to get back to contending, that's going to have to change. Anticipating that, I had the White Sox selecting high school right-hander Walker Weickel in the first round of the draft, although with their supplemental first round pick, they would likely select one of their usual types of picks, and I had them selecting Andrew Hearney, a lefty starter who will zoom through the minors. Here, it makes sense for the White Sox to go for upside again. They have little upside at the positions of shortstop, second base, and third base in their system at this point (although it remains to be seen whether Gordon Beckham can turn things around in the big leagues and what kind of player Brent Morel will be), and it makes sense for them to get an upside infielder here.
Jesmuel Valentin Diaz is an undersized player at 5'11″, 180 coming out of the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy. But he compensates for his size with his impressive package of tools. A switch-hitter, Valentin is slightly better from his natural right side, but he shows a nice compact swing from both sides with some power. He needs work on his patience and pitch recognition, but he could be a .280 hitter with 10-15 home runs. Defensively, Valentin Diaz has primarily played second base in deference to first round pick Carlos Correa, and he may be a better fit there than at shortstop. Valentin Diaz has just average speed, well below-average at shortstop, although he has nice quick-twitch reflexes and a strong arm, making him possibly an above-average defensive second baseman and also an option for third base. Valentin Diaz's combination of a small stature and a lack of speed dropped him to this point in the draft, but he has nice ability and could be a vital part of the White Sox' rebuilding process.
The Pick: Jesmuel Valentin Diaz, MI, Puerto Rico Baseball Academy
107th Overall: Chicago White Sox
No one is completely sure what Kenny Williams and the Chicago White Sox are thinking. No matter what they're doing though, they must have realized by now that they can't be as conservative in the draft as they have been in recent years. With their first pick in this mock draft, I had them selecting big prep right-hander Walker Weickel, and I also had them going with prep shortstop Jesmuel Valentin Diaz in the second round (with college pick LHP Andrew Hearney in between). Here, I expect them to go back to selecting college players, but maybe they could shake things up a bit and go for a college player with more upside. Two players possibly on the White Sox' radar are Georgia Tech right-hander Buck Farmer and Mark Appel's teammate, Stanford lefty Brett Mooneyham.
Farmer, filled out at 6'3″, 221, has a frustrating combination of polish and issues. Farmer has an appealing four-pitch arsenal: a fastball, a changeup, a slider, and a curveball. Farmer's fastball hits the low-90′s and touches 94 with sink and a little late run away from right-handed batters. His changeup parallels his fastball movement but with better speed. Among his two breaking pitches, his curve has 11-to-5 break with solid depth and provides a nice change of pace from his other pitches while his slider has nice bite but he releases it from a slightly different release point than his fastball, limiting its effectiveness.Farmer controls all his pitches well although he has occasionally had problems with command within the zone. Compounding his problems is that he doesn't have great character and has fell apart under pressure in the Cape Code League this past season. But he still has a nice four pitch arsenal and has 3rd starter upside.
Mooneyham, 6'5″ and 235 pounds, might be the most mystifying prospect in this year's draft. Mooneyham missed all of 2011 following surgery on the middle finger of his left, pitching hand and his velocity hasn't been the same since. A player that could consistently hit 94 MPH in the past, Mooneyham tops out at 92 MPH these days. His fastball has some run in towards righty batters along with nice late sink. Mooneyham complements his fastball with a changeup with excellent sink and a slider that at its best looks like his fastball out of his hand before showing great late tilt. Mooneyham has great stuff even with his fastball velocity lower, and his big problems have always been control and command, but with his velocity a little bit lower and his slider with a little less break, his control has been a little better and that could be a positive. Mooneyham has questions surrounding him, but he has nice upside even as a senior (redshirt junior), and the fact that he won't sign for much money makes him even more like a White Sox selection. The White Sox like safer picks, but Mooneyham is a risk worth taking for them.
The Pick: Brett Mooneyham, LHP, University of Stanford

Floating on air "What I like about it is that it's real flying—you're right back to the basics," commented Andy Andrews, senior with the Greensboro Office, "it doesn't forgive you your mistakes; you can't power your way out." Andy was describing his enthusiasm for soaring, the sport of literally riding on air in one of the gracefully airworthy but completely engineless craft known as sailplanes. (The term "glider" is in disrepute because it suggests a gentle but steady flight downwards to a landing instead of prolonged buoyancy.) "I've been told it's a little like scuba diving," he said, seeking a way to describe the thrili of soaring. He meant the eerie silence with nothing but the wind noise slipping past the windscreen as you ride a current of air, dropping or climbing. "You feel as if you're one with the sailplane." Andy, who has long flown powered airplanes, started soaring about three years ago. "There's a little soaring center thirty-five miles away from Greensboro, an airport called Strawberry Hill," he recalled. "I was curious so one Saturday afternoon I gave it a try." Now he soars on weekends every chance he gets and his wife, Carol, who has soloed in power planes and has been up in sailplanes a few times, loves it too, He said it took only a couple of hours to make the transition from powered craft to sailplane aviation; it would take a non-flyer as long to learn how to 20 operate a sailplane as it would for him to qualify with powered aircraft. He rents a one-seat sailplane, getting off the ground by means of a tow aloft by a powered towplane. At an altitude of 1,500 to 2,500 feet, he releases the sailplane from the tow rope and is on his own. How long a sailplane will stay up depends in large measure on the skill of the pilot. While the sailplane has all of the steering and banking controls of powered craft—rudder, elevators and ailerons—the rate of descent can be controlled mechanically only by spoilers, iarge flaps on the long, thin wings which act as air brakes when opened. Manipulating them enables the pilot to increase or decrease the rate of descent in landing. Also aiding him is a cluster of instruments: an altimeter; a variometer, which shows the rate of climb or descent; an air speed indicator; a compass, and a "needie ball" which, operating on the same principle as the bubble in a carpenter's level, indicates whether or not the sailplane is flying at a level attitude. Sailplane flying in the Greensboro area is thermal flying—riding on updrafts caused by temperature differences; warm air rises above cooler air and presumably wili hold a sailplane if the pilot is clever enough to find a thermal air current. For example, Andy explained, a likely area to fly above is a plowed field which sheds heat stored up from the sun's rays. A forest, however, will retain heat and a sailplane above it will falter. Very little soaring is done in the cool Carolina winter. Andy's longest flight has been for two hours and forty-five minutes, he recalled; he has been up in a sailplane for about thirty hours in total. A sailplane will stall at thirty-five miles per hour and at sixty is flying "wide open," either in a dive or being shoved along by a brisk wind. A good sailplane will climb as high as 50,000 or 60,000 feet (above 11,000 an oxygen source is needed). Andy has not yet attempted cross country flight but sailplanes are capable of flights of several hundred miles, according to international standards. "I have a tittle sign, 'Plan ahead,'" Andy noted. The object is to land your sailplane where you intended to land —usually where you took off. Andy consequently tries to fly upwind from the airport so that it is easier to maneuver his craft back, Occasionally sailplanes must land in a strange field. No trouble, however. He is in radio contact with a ground crew who I pick him up with a truck. The sailplane 1 can be disassembled in about twenty , minutes and stored in a trailer. Is there any danger of making five 1 children ranging from four to fourteen fatherless? Not much. "Generally

On Saturday, Iranian authorities sentenced Nazar Ahari, a reporter for the Committee of Human Rights Reporters, to six years in prison and a fine equivalent to US$400 as an alternative punishment to 74 lashes, according to Reuters. She was convicted of moharebeh, or waging war against God, "propagation against the regime" and "actions against national security" for her supposed participation in two political gatherings in 2009. Nazar Ahari has said that she was covering the gatherings for the committee, according to the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran. The semi-official ILNA news agency quoted her lawyer, Mohammad Sharif, as saying that he will appeal the verdict.
Nazar Ahari, 26, was jailed for four months shortly after the disputed June 2009 presidential election and released on bail. She was rearrested in December 2009 when she was on her way from Teheran to Qom to attend the funeral of an influential cleric, Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri.
Veteran journalist Emadeddin Baghi was sentenced today to six years in prison on charges of "propagating against the regime," and "assembly and collusion for disrupting national security," reformist news website Jonbesh-e Rah-e Sabz reported. Baghi was detained in December 2009, after the BBC rebroadcast a two-year-old interview Baghi conducted with Grand Ayatollah Montazeri after Montazeri died.
"We condemn these convictions on fabricated charges of Shiva Nazar Ahari and Emadeddin Baghi and call for their immediate release," said Mohamed Abdel Dayem, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa Program Coordinator.
In a separate case, Farsi online news service Kamtarin reported on Sunday that Judge Abolqasem Salavati, presiding over branch 15 of the Revolutionary Court, is considering the death penalty for blogger Hossein Derakhshan. A number of other Iranian and international news outlets later reported the possible penalty.
Derakhshan is accused of "collaborating with hostile governments, creating propaganda against the Islamic regime and propaganda in favor of anti-revolutionary groups, blasphemy, and organizing and managing obscene and vulgar websites." Derakhshan appeared in court once in 2009, and retracted confessions he claimed he had made under duress. No additional information about Derakhshan's case has been made public since then. CPJ was unable to independently verify details on his case.
Derakhshan was arrested in November 2008 in connection with comments he allegedly made about a cleric. He spent more than nine months of his detention in solitary confinement at Tehran's Evin Prison. He began blogging in 2001, making him one of the first Farsi bloggers.
"Journalistic coverage of the opposition does not amount to heresy, managing websites, obscene or not, does not constitute collaboration, and the rebroadcast of a two-year-old interview by a third party certainly does not fall under the definition of 'propagating against the regime,'" said Abdel Dayem.
At least 37 journalists remain behind bars in Iran as of June 1, according to CPJ's last census of imprisoned journalists.

Before treatment starts, many people already feel tired from the tests and investigations used to diagnose the cancer. The cancer itself can also make people feel tired. They may also be tired from trying to cope with different emotional effects. People who are older, have other medical problems, or have more than one type of treatment are more likely to be affected by cancer related fatigue.
Many people feel tired after surgery and need to take things easy for a while. This effect is usually temporary. However, some types of surgery may cause continuing problems with fatigue. For example, surgery to the stomach may lead to problems with absorbing food. If you are unable to absorb nutrients from food this can affect your energy levels.
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy
Chemotherapy is the use of anti-cancer (cytotoxic) drugs to destroy cancer cells. It is often given in cycles a few weeks apart. Some people feel most fatigued in the first few days after chemotherapy and then find it gets better until the next cycle. The fatigue may increase with each round of treatment.
Radiotherapy treats cancer by using high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells. Often people may feel increasingly fatigued as the treatment goes on.
Fatigue caused by chemotherapy or radiotherapy usually improves after treatment, but sometimes it can be more of a long term problem.
Many people find their normal levels of energy return within 6 to 12 months of the treatment ending. However, some people find they still feel tired and have low energy levels a year or so later. Sometimes, tiredness can continue for two years or more, although this is far less common.
Hormonal therapies
Hormonal therapies are treatments that can stop or slow the growth of some cancer cells. They either alter the levels of particular hormones in the body or prevent the hormones from being absorbed by cancer cells. These are often given for several years. Some hormonal therapies can cause fatigue.
Targeted (biological) therapies
Targeted therapies use substances that target the growth of cancer cells. Some of them can cause fatigue.
Apart from treatment related anaemia, doctors are still trying to find out exactly why cancer treatments cause fatigue. It's thought that fatigue may occur after having cancer treatment because:
- the body needs extra energy to repair and heal
- there is a build-up of chemicals as the cancer cells are destroyed
- the body's immune system is affected.

Five Myths About … a nuclear Iran
Alireza Nader
Foreign Policy
1. "Iran is an irrational actor"
It's as clear as day that the Islamic Republic pursues goals in the Middle East that put it on a collision course with the United States. Iran is opposed to Israel as a Jewish state, for instance, and competes for regional influence with the conservative Gulf Arab monarchies. But that doesn't mean it is irrational: On the contrary, its top leadership, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is deliberative and calculating. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's antics and often wild rhetoric shouldn't obscure the fact that the Islamic Republic is interested in its own survival above all else. When contemplating the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran, we should all be grateful that notions of martyrdom and apocalyptic beliefs don't have a significant pull on Iranian decision-making.
Iran's possible pursuit of nuclear weapons capability is motivated by deterrence, not some messianic effort to bring about the end times. The Islamic Republic has a relatively weak conventional military that is no match for U.S. and most Western forces — most of its regular naval and ground forces operate equipment from the 1960s and 1970s. It has tried to make up for this through a doctrine of asymmetry: It has supported terrorist and insurgent groups across the Middle East and created a "guerrilla" navy, which — at best — might be able to swarm U.S. ships and interrupt shipping in the Persian Gulf. This is all meant to prevent U.S.-driven regime change.
