The present invention relates in general to graphics generation and, in particular, to delivering a graphical object to a browser.
The Worldwide Web ("Web") is the medium of choice for publishing information on-line over the Internet, a widely-used public internetwork globally interconnecting countless client and server computer systems. The Internet provides a transport mechanism through standardized communication protocols, such as the Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP), for communicating Web content in the form of text, graphics, sounds, animations, and video.
Web content is exchanged using a form of scripting language, such as the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), a tag-delimited scripting language interpretable by a majority of currently available Web browsers. In HTML, Web content is embedded in statements that are interpreted by a receiving Web browser and formatted into readable form using tags included in each statement. The tags can include text and display attributes, such as color and text style, as well as references to downloadable content and hyperlinks.
During a Web browsing session, a user can request additional content from a Web server by selecting hyperlinks embedded in each Web page. The hyperlink is relayed by the Web browser as a form of request that is answered by the Web server with downloaded Web content. The download operations can be particularly bandwidth-intensive for those Web pages containing large data objects, such as graphics.
Web content containing graphics poses a trade-off between server and client functionality. Graphics can include both pictorial content, such as photo-realistic images, and illustrative content, including charts and graphs for modeling quantitative information. Graphical Web content generated at a Web server can require a specialized display server which generates the Web content as a separate downloadable file, typically in GIF or JPEG format. Graphics files tend to be large and can require long download times. Typically, an applet will be downloaded from the Web server to generate graphics on the client. However, each applet is application-dependent and can also require long download times.
Web pages can also include dynamically-generated content. Such content enables interactive sessions to provide customized Web content and increased user interest. Dynamically-generated Web content consisting only of text can easily be generated by a Web server which processes the user request and sends back a script containing the requested text embedded as the customized Web content.
Dynamically-generated Web content containing graphics, however, presents a trade-off between customizing Web content and respecting bandwidth limitations. Higher complexity graphs, such as pictorial images, require substantially more bandwidth and can result in slow download times from the Web server.
Three approaches provide graphical Web content to individual Web browsers. In the first approach, graphical Web content is generated in advance of download on a Web server. A graphics engine using a graphics toolkit, such as the Java Abstract Window toolkit (AWT), generates graphics for download and stores the graphical data for retrieval by Web servers upon client request. This approach requires a priori knowledge of expected graphical Web content and limits the level of user interactivity to selecting from amongst pre-generated graphics. As well, this approach also suffers from long download times and is memory intensive.
In the second approach, a graphics engine using a graphical toolkit generates graphical content ad hoc rather than ahead of download time. New graphical content is generated responsive to each new user request and requires the download of a large image. This approach imposes long download times and also requires the user to wait out a sometimes time-consuming graphics generation routine upon each request. This approach is usually memory intensive.
In the third approach, Web browser-executable modules, such as applets, are used to render graphical images on a client at the time of request. This approach has the advantage of decreasing download times for individual graphical images, but still requires the download of individual applets prior to the generation of each graphic. Moreover, applets are generally non-portable and application-dependent.
In the fourth prior art approach graphical images are created as a tag delimited script constructed in the same order as expressed in the script. This approach has the advantage of decreased download times, but has the disadvantage of requiring an application dependent engine that is not extendable.
Therefore, there is a need for an application-independent approach to provide dynamically generated low-complexity graphics, such as charts and graphs, using standard Web-browser functionality. Preferably, such an approach would convert graphics into a Web page script interpretable by a standard Web browser, thereby allowing ad hoc Web content retrieval.
There is a further need for an approach to create low-complexity charts and graphs expressed as tables in a tag-delimited script, such as HTML. Such an approach would create graphical Web content structured into a table by an engine executing in conjunction with a Web server.
There is a further need to provide a standard application-independent engine for generating graphical Web content and exporting a standard application programming interface shared with standardized graphics toolkits, such as the Java AWT.
The present invention provides a system and process for generating graphical Web objects, including low-complexity graphics, such as charts and graphs, embedded within a Web page. A graphical Web object is specified as a table definition included in a tag-delimited script describing the Web page, such as in HTML Individual rows and cells within the table specify the characteristics of the graphical Web object, including color, text, text style, hyperlinks, and bubble text. Each individual cell represents a uniform rectangular region and combinations of the uniform rectangular regions can be formed on a logical canvas to generate various shapes and styles. As the shapes are drawn, any overlap between horizontal and vertical rendered regions is resolved. The logical canvas is then rendered as the table definition and downloaded to the requesting client as a tag-delimited script.
An embodiment of the present invention provides an application-independent system and process for dynamically generating low-complexity graphics embedded as Web content using a tag-delimited script. A graphics object class defining a logical canvas and including a vector of row objects is specified. Each graphics object class contains a set of cell objects defining display attributes for a uniform rectangular region. A shape is drawn onto the logical canvas by sequentially parsing through each row object in the vector and through each cell object contained therein to consistently structure the logical canvas. The logical canvas is converted into a table encoded in a tag-delimited script by converting in order each row object into a row within the table, and each cell object into a cell within each row.
A further embodiment provides an application-independent system and process for specifying graphical Web content as a table written in a tag-delimited script. A graphics object class is defined and includes state variables and at least one method for drawing a shape. A vector is included as one such state variable and includes at least one row object reference. Each row object reference includes at least one cell object reference. Logic encapsulated within the graphics object class is encoded and defines the at least one shape method to generate a selectable shape within a logical canvas. A table is rendered as a tag-delimited script from an instance of the graphics object class containing the selectable shape(s) rendered from each at least one row object reference and each at least one cell object reference.
Still other embodiments of the present invention will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, wherein is described embodiments of the invention by way of illustrating the best mode contemplated for carrying out the invention. As will be realized, the invention is capable of other and different embodiments and its several details are capable of modifications in various obvious respects, all without departing from the spirit and the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the drawings and detailed description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not as restrictive.
Alternatively, the Web browser 22 can request Web content from a remote server 16 which is retrieved from a remote storage device 18 and downloaded via an internetwork 17, such as the Internet. The internetwork 17 is interconnected to the intranetwork 13 via a gateway 19 or similar bridging device. As well, a remote client 15 executes a Web browser 23 and can also retrieve Web content from the Web server 20 or the remote server 16. Other network configurations and topologies, and arrangements of clients, server, and components are feasible, as would be recognized by one skilled in the art.
The Web browser 22 can display text and graphical Web content, including pictorial and illustrative content, such as photo-realistic images and charts and graphs, respectively. Low complexity graphical Web content can be generated and rendered by the server 11 using a graphics engine 21, as further described below with reference to FIG. 2. The graphics engine 21 executes within with the Web server 20 to generate low-complexity graphical Web content embedded within individual Web pages as a table definition.
Low-complexity graphical Web content includes non-exclusively charts and graphs rendered in two or three dimensions. Complex graphical Web content includes pictorial Web content, such as photo-realistic images, which are typically stored as downloadable files. Complex graphical Web content is typically generated offline in advance of download.
Responsive to a client request received from the Web browser 22, the Web server 20 executes the graphics engine to construct, build and render an embedded graphical object. The graphical object is rendered as a table in a tag-delimited script, such as HTML, which is downloaded to the Web browser 22. The Web browser 22 then interprets the downloaded HTML script to generate the embedded graphical object.
In the described embodiment, the Web browser 22 is a standard HTML-compatible Web browser, such as the Internet Explorer, licensed by Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Wash., and Navigator, licensed by Netscape Corporation, Mountain View, Calif. The graphics object library used by the graphics engine exports a standard API used by the Java abstract Window Toolkit (AWT), licensed by Sun Microsystems, Inc., Palo Alto, Calif.
The individual computer systems, including servers 11, 16 and clients 12, are general purpose, programmed digital computing devices consisting of a central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), non-volatile secondary storage, such as a hard drive or CD ROM drive, network interfaces, and peripheral devices, including user interfacing means, such as a keyboard and display. Servers need not necessarily include peripheral devices and user interfacing means. Program code, including software programs and data, are loaded into the RAM for execution and processing by the CPU and results are generated for display, output, transmittal, or storage.
The Web server 20 answers requests for Web content from Web browsers 22 (shown in
The shape builder 32 draws shapes onto the graphics object while resolving any overlaps. Each shape is generated independently and is made up one of more uniform rectangular regions which are drawn onto the logical canvas. The uniform rectangular regions can overlap and the shape builder 32 identifies and resolves any overlaps between the uniform rectangular regions.
Finally, the renderer 33 converts the graphical object into a table definition 36 within an HTML script 35. The table definition 36 is then downloaded, interpreted and displayed by a standard Web browser 22 (shown in FIG. 1).
Each of the foregoing modules is a computer program, procedure or module written as source code in a conventional programming language, such as the C++ or Java programming language, and is presented for execution by the CPU as object or byte code, as is known in the art. The various implementations of the source code and object and byte codes can be held on a computer-readable storage medium or embodied on a transmission medium in a carrier wave. The system 30 operates in accordance with a sequence of process steps, as further described below with reference to FIG. 5.
Several member variables are defined within the graphics object class 50. A private variable mBackgroundCell contains background attributes, such as color. The vector initially contains one large row. A private member variable of datatype vector mRowVect ("vector") contains a plurality of HTML row objects. Private member variables mWidthPix and mHeightPix specify the width and height of the logical canvas, respectively. Each HTML row object contains one or more HTML cell objects containing an individual renderable uniform rectangular region. Thus, HTML cell objects are converted into individual cells within a given row corresponding to the HTML row object. The complete set of HTML row objects form the table defined by the HtmlGraphics object.
The individual HTML row objects generally do not overlap and can be arranged in numerical order within the vector. The vector is updated as new shapes containing uniform rectangular regions are drawn. A public constructor method HtmlGraphics is defined to instantiate a new HtmlGraphics graphics object 50.
The HtmlGraphics graphics object class 50 also defines a plurality of publicly-defined methods to build individual graphical items. In the described embodiment, the following methods are defined.
These method descriptions are based on Java's AWT documentation: htp://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/api/java.awt.Graphics.html.
For example, the public method FillRect fills a specified rectangle using various attributes, such as color, text and bubble text. Bubble text is a form of contextual help that is automatically displayed when the cursor is placed over a given object in a displayed Web page. The left and right edges of the specified rectangle are located at pX and pX+pWidth. The top and bottom edges are at pY and pY+PLength. The resulting specified rectangle covers an area of PWidth pixels wide by PHeight pixels tall.
Finally, the HtmlGraphics graphics object class 50 encapsulates a public method render which converts each graphics object into an HTML table interpretable by a Web browser 22 (shown in FIG. 1). Rendering is further described below with reference to FIG. 8.
Referring next to
In the described embodiment, each of the rendered vertical regions 68 a-e corresponds to individual rows within the table definition 36. As well, each of the rendered horizontal regions 67 a-e corresponds to individual cells within each of the rows.
The process 80 generates a graphics object as follows. First, the characteristics of the graphics object, such as background color and dimensions, are specified (block 81). Next, the graphics object is constructed and initialized to an empty logical canvas using the characteristics specified (block 82), as further described below with reference to FIG. 6. Next, shapes are iteratively drawn onto the canvas using an encapsulated method (block 83), as further described below with reference to FIG. 7. The particular method to execute depends on the shape needed. Processing continues as more shapes are drawn (block 84). On the completion of iterative processing (block 84), the graphics object is rendered (block 85), as further described below with reference to FIG. 8. The rendering of a graphics object converts the logical canvas 61 into a table definition 36 embedded within an HTML script 35 (shown in FIG. 2). The process then ends.
First, a row vector is created (block 91). Each row within the row vector will be rendered as an HTML row within the table definition 36 (shown in FIG. 2). A background cell is initialized to the width of the canvas and background color (block 92). The row is also initialized to the height of the logical canvas (block 93). The background cell is added to the row (block 94) and the row is added to the vector (block 95). Thus, the empty logical canvas 61 is generated. The routine then returns.
Briefly, the dimensions of the shapes are independently defined and any overlap between the horizontal and vertical rendered regions must be resolved. The solid rectangular region constitutes a single uniform rectangular region and is thus the simplest form of a shape to draw.
More complex shapes could likewise be defined by combining several uniform rectangular regions. The routines described above with reference to
The first step in routine 100 checks if the input dimensions overlap the logical canvas 61 (block 101). If the shape is outside the region to be rendered, then the routine returns. Otherwise, the input dimensions are modified to fully overlap the logical canvas 61 (block 102). Next, an HTML cell object is created with the attributes pColor, pText and pBubbleText (block 103).
The solid rectangular region is iteratively processed for vertical overlap by looping through the rows in the corresponding row vector which vertically overlap the new region (block 104), as follows. First, the overlapping row is deleted from the row vector (block 106) and the first non-overlapping, overlapping and second non-overlapping sections are obtained (block 107). The deleted row is resized to match the vertical dimensions of the first non-overlapping section and inserted into the row vector (block 108). The deleted row is cloned and resized to match the vertical dimensions of the overlapping section and inserted into the row vector (block 109).
Next, the solid rectangular region is iteratively processed for horizontal overlap by looping through the cells in the corresponding row which horizontally overlap the new region (block 110), as follows. First, the cell is deleted from the row (block 111). Next, the first non-overlapping, overlapping and second non-overlapping sections are obtained (block 112). The deleted cell is resized to match the horizontal dimensions of the first non-overlapping section and inserted into the row (block 113). The new region is cloned and resized to match the horizontal dimensions of the overlapping section and inserted into the row (block 114). The deleted cell is resized to match the horizontal dimensions of the second non-overlapping section and inserted into the row (block 115). Processing continues until all cells which overlap the new cell horizontally have been processed (block 116).
As well, to complete processing for vertical overlap, the deleted row is cloned and resized to match the vertical dimensions of the second non-overlapping section and inserted into the row vector (block 117). Processing continues until all rows which overlap the new cell vertically have been processed (block 105), after which the routine returns.
Thus, a string buffer is allocated (block 121) to store the HTML table definition. The rows of the vector are iteratively processed (blocks 122-125), as follows. First, the current row is converted to an HTML row (block 123) and the HTML row is added to the table definition 36 (block 124), as further described below with reference to FIG. 9. Processing continues for each of the remaining rows (block 125), after which the routine returns.
Thus, a string buffer is allocated (block 131) to store the HTML row definition. Next, each of the cells within the row is iteratively processed (block 132-135), as follows. First, the current cell is converted to an HTML cell (block 133) as further described below with reference to
Thus, if the cell has a specified color but does not contain text (block 141), the HTML cell is created with the specified background color (block 142), using the specified width and height. In the described embodiment, the color is specified as an RGB value in hexadecimal notation (#CCCCCC). A filename of a .gif file is also used which contains a one-pixel transparent image necessary to render the graphical object (t.gif). Finally, bubble text is added if specified (block 143), after which the routine returns.
An example of an HTML table definition 36 containing color and no text is as follows:
Otherwise, if the cell contains color and text (block 141), the HTML cell is created with the specified background color (block 144), using the height and width specified. If specified, the style of text is added (block 145). If a hyperlink is specified, the hyperlink is added (block 146). The hyperlink text is added to the cell (block 147), after which the routine returns.
An example of an HTML table definition 36 containing a graphic object containing color and text is as follows:
While the invention has been particularly shown and described as referenced to the embodiments thereof, those skilled in the art will understand that the foregoing and other changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Are you looking for simultaneous interpreting or consecutive interpreting services? You need to know about Magma Translation. Our company has been operating for years in the translation segment, providing services with efficiency and quality, valuing customer satisfaction.
Simultaneous interpreting and consecutive interpreting are very important activities nowadays. The world is increasingly globalized and the movement of people generates a demand for immediate and face-to-face communication.
Professional interpreters are often required to assist in meetings in your organization, lectures at events or field visits. Magma relies on top-level interpreters to provide perfect communication in different languages.
The importance of simultaneous and consecutive interpreting
Simultaneous and consecutive interpreting is required, for instance, in events where lecturers speak a language other than that of the audience. They are often experts in their field, and listeners are usually people interested and/or knowledgeable in the content of the presentation.

Set just outsite the Crystal River Perserve State Park, there is boundless natural activities to enjoy year round at this fabulous location. From late fall until late spring Crystal River is the #1 spot in America to view and interact with Manatees. Crystal River is at the heart of the Nature Coast of Florida. The city is situated around the magnificent Kings Bay, which is spring-fed and so keeps a constant 72 °F (22 °C) temperature year round. A cluster of 50 springs pump 64 million gallons of water per day into the Cystal River. Because of this discharge amount, the Crystal River Springs group is the second largest springs group in Florida. Kings Bay is home to over 400 manatees during the winter when the water temperature in the Gulf of Mexico cools, and is the only place in the United States where people can legally interact with them in their natural conditions without that interaction being viewed as harassment by law enforcement agencies. Tourism based on watching and swimming with manatee is the fastest growing contribution to the local economy.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: Our family bought this home as a vacation property back in 2005. For the past nine years our parents have enjoyed living, entertaining, and caring for this family jewel but now we have choose to open it up to share with others. The house is owned by us and our parents. We live in Raleigh, NC, while our parents live just a few miles inland in the Black Diamond Golf community. My wife grew up in the Tampa area so the house gives us a central place for everyone to meet and spend the holidays and a few weeks a year. We can't wait for our little girl and boy to grow up learning about all that nature has to offer in the Crystal River area.
Why the Owner Chose Crystal Shores, Crystal River, FL, USA:
This property has something for everyone. Nature seekers, fisherman, scallopers, divers, or just those looking to enjoy a great view and front row seats for natures glory during a relaxing weekend, week, or months away. Not many homes can boast comfortable seating for 14-20 for meals making this home a unique find for entertaining groups of multiple families, friends, or corporate getaways. Headed to Florida to see Mickey? Stay here in natures cradle and drive just 90 minutes to Sea World, Disney, Epcot, etc. Head to Tampa just 74 miles south to see the aquarium or take in a Tampa Lighting NHL game.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Minutes from the Gulf of Mexico, minutes from some of the best springs and eco-tourism in the world. Two open floors of living area make this home very special for large groups or cozy couples. Our kids love to hang out in the basement or around the pool while my we enjoy adult time in the very well done, calming second story living room. The house faces due east so every day you get awesome sunrises, moon views, and exceptional star gazing. Having nothing to block your view you'll see these events in ways you haven't before while relaxing on the patio, deck, or screened in porch.

But How Does It Taste?
Published: November 14, 1995
ANAHEIM, Calif., Nov. 13— Here is some health news that many people may find hard to swallow: a cholesterol-lowering candy bar.
The Cardiobar, as it is called, is not on the market yet, but its inventors at the University of Massachusetts say it, or something like it, could have a powerful effect on people's cholesterol levels.
The recipe does not sound like anything Grandma might have thought of. Each bar contains gum from the guar plant, soy protein and a variety of rice bran oil -- ingredients thought to have a good effect on cholesterol.
Dr. Robert J. Nicolosi and his colleagues worked out the ingredients and had the bars made by Ross-Abbott Laboratories in Columbus, Ohio, which helped pay to test them.
The bars were fed to 35 men and women whose cholesterol levels averaged a moderately elevated 263. Volunteers who ate two a day lowered their cholesterol an impressive 33 points on average.
When the bars will reach the market and how much they will cost are unclear.
Dr. Nicolosi was a little vague about how they taste. He said that the bars came in chocolate and raspberry, but that they still needed work. "If it doesn't taste good, people won't take it, no matter how healthy it is," he said.
Dr. Nicolosi outlined the results today at the annual scientific meeting of the American Heart Association.
Volunteers who tested the Cardiobars were put on a strict low-fat diet, then given two batches of candy bars and told to eat two a day. Some were Cardiobars. The rest were look-alikes made from less beneficial varieties of fiber, protein and oil. No one knew at the time who got what. But all eventually had both types so doctors could compare the effects of both snacks in each volunteer.
The result: cholesterol levels fell 33 points when volunteers ate Cardiobars, but there was no significant change when they ate the bars used for comparison purposes.
For those taking the Cardiobars, the only kind of cholesterol that went down was their bad low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or L.D.L. Their H.D.L. levels did not change.
Each bar has 200 calories, although the researchers are working on 100-calorie varieties.
"What we are looking for is a health bar that you would substitute for a meal," Dr. Nicolosi said. "We would not want people to think they can eat whatever they want and then have a couple of these candy bars."

Mark Mandia gets the big picture, and devises the game plan to manage and guide his direct marketing agency with a clear view of where the overall Direct Marketing industry is going. His personal commitment to "do right" (derived from his alma mater St. Joe's magis to "live greater") has enabled DMW to better serve clients. This ethic drives him to facilitate and support colleagues while keeping the agency strong, vital, and independent - as well as actively contributing to the profession and PhillyDMA through the years.
When Mark joined DMW in the fall of 2006, he joined an agency with proud tradition in mail, broadcast, and print with a fledgling digital practice. Since then, his influence and leadership have yielded numerous organizational achievements in his decade at DMW Direct:
Most recognizes that DMW's success would not be possible without exemplary people. Mark is a facilitator and catalyst; he knows how team members work, what they do best, and arranges players and the playing field to enable the team to win and prospect. He champions his colleagues unwaveringly.
Mark has consistently sought to not only empower and develop his colleagues and staff, but he has also demonstrated a sincere commitment to the industry and profession at large. Mark served as Treasurer and Board Member for the Philadelphia Direct Marketing Association (PhillyDMA) from 2009 to 2013 and again from 2014 to 2015. He is a member of the PhillyDMA, the DMA, the Philly Ad Club, and the American Advertising Federation (AAF).
He is also one to keep in touch, supporting, providing recommendations, and helping career growth to professional friends and colleagues outside DMW Direct. Whether through association at the PhillyDMA, St. Joe's alumni, past co-worker, Mark is happy to be a reference source, gladly fostering the careers of so many.
Independent Graphics, Inc. was founded in 1980 by Lou Ciampi, Sr. The company was just a one man operation, with Lou Sr. at the helm. He oversaw sales, manufacturing, delivery, and bookkeeping; he did it all. During those early years, Independent ran a few "two up" spot color presses and had very modest capabilities in the finishing arena.
They produced mainly stationery, forms, and one and two color brochures and manuals for the insurance company which was housed in the same location. Lou Sr. had a vision of providing his clients with a product that was delivered on time, every time. He had the foresight to provide his customers with the marketing solutions that helped them effectively sell their products.
Since then, Independent has grown into a 30-person company that operates five days a week/24 hours per day. Their 29" sheet fed presses and 26" igen provide their clients with the quality, price, and turnaround needed to thrive in today's fiercely competitive market. Today, Lou Sr.'s sons run the business with Lou Jr. as the President and Jim Ciampi as the vice president. They lead the Independent team of marketing and direct mail professionals who have an uncanny knack of getting your printed material where you need it, when you need it. Independent prides itself on being your go-to source for exceptional quality and fast turnarounds. Independent Graphics is strategically located in Northeastern PA, with their trucks delivering jobs to the Philadelphia suburbs five days a week. Manuals, brochures, catalogs, and direct mail pieces are all delivered where you need it and when you need it.
Independent Graphics, Inc. has been a member of the PhillyDMA for over ten years. They are also members of the PSDA, PBBA, and Idelliance. Independent offers the best of both worlds: seasoned print professionals with old-fashioned family-type customer service. We are honored to provide this award to Independent.

Let us deal with whether there really is a new, kinder, cuddly form of rape later.
The fact that we have to contend with for the moment, as laid out in a Home Office study and reported on the front page of this newspaper yesterday, is that the incidence of date rape has risen sharply. In 1985 the percentage of rape attacks that were carried out by close acquaintances was just over a third. By 1996 the percentage (of a much higher total figure) was half.
And, precisely because many of these involve a "his word against mine" situation, in which the victim and perpetrator might have had previous consensual contact, the conviction rate has dropped from one-in-four, to one-in-10. In other words, either an incredible number of women lie about being raped, or the vast majority of rapists get away with it. And I know which one I believe.
But why is this happening? It could, of course, be because more women are reporting. This is quite likely to be a factor. There is a greater awareness of the fact of date rape; women feel more empowered to relate their experiences than once they did; they are actively encouraged by friends to report what happened to the police; the police are more sympathetic than once they were - and so on.
Once upon a time this whole area would have been the subject of well- funded research projects in British universities, paid for by the Social Science Research Council. But Mrs Thatcher did not care to spend money on finding out what was going on and why, because - for the most part - she already knew. So today, as every social affairs journalist is aware, it is incredibly hard to answer even basic questions such as "is there more rape?" accurately.
Even so there are some popular reasons for thinking that there is more date rape: the first of which is the huge change in sexual etiquette in the last couple of decades. This has helped, or so the argument goes, to confuse young men and, sometimes, to transform the insensitive dolt into the borderline rapist.
In this scenario (which is a close parallel to a famous case of five years ago) the rapist is to be regarded as a victim himself. Dick and Dora have been drinking and dancing together. Dora invites Dick in for coffee. They kiss. He has missed the last bus, so she lets him sleep in her bed, even undressing in front of him. They kiss some more, before she turns over. He gets very excited, and presses his attentions upon her. Dora says: "Don't", but does she really mind? Dick wakes up with a sore head and a room full of the Old Bill.
Put this way, it seems to be the latest variation of the old problem of pursuit and capture; of seduction and evasion. It is the woman's job to attract, and the man's job to bring things to fruition. She slyly points out the apple, he impetuously plucks it. If she really doesn't want sex with him, then why dress provocatively, why invite him in, why kiss, why get into bed?
If you are a dolt, then all this could be a problem. Years ago, in my student days, something very similar happened to me. She was gorgeous and I was slim then. We snogged up hill and down dale, and every now and again she would come and stay for a night, and sleep with me in my bed. There was more kissing and above-the-waist fondling and nothing more. She made it clear, without my having to ask out loud, that she wanted what we already had, and no more.
Was it a tease? It didn't and doesn't matter. The problem is that the act of intercourse itself is necessarily invasive. It's not like kissing or fondling. So for men there is only one sure way to avoid being a violator, and that is to interpret everything that isn't a wholehearted "yes" as being a definite "no". Or, to coin a phrase, "when in doubt, leave it out". If you are wrong, then she can always put you straight. But what is hard to figure out is why some men - no matter how old or experienced they might be - seem to find such a concept hard to understand.
So we ought to examine a second factor that seems to have changed things: the extraordinary sexualisation of our popular culture.
However much we may or may not be having it off, all around us, off it is being had. On telly, in movies and in newspapers and - most potent of all - in advertising, there is a world in a constant state of tumescence and display. Look at Liz Hurley's knickers and John Major's future daughter- in-law's bare bosoms! Hey, take the Calvin Klein undies off and cover each other in a well-known brand of ice cream! "What exactly is sex addiction?" "Vicar in four-in-a-bed romp!" "Viagra man runs off with lover!"
Just how does a boy who reads Loaded or FHM (and believes it) interpret the world about him? He must - like the rest of us - see a land of writhing couples while he alone is locked in the bathroom with his magazine. Surely he's owed his fair share? After all, everyone else is getting it. And no-one who opens up this month's edition of Loaded, and is rewarded with his very own tasteful, arty black-and-white full size pick of some naked woman called Brenda Schad, could ever believe that women aren't just as much on for it as the lads.
But before we get too sorry for Mr Raging Hormones, we can also reflect on one particular development that provides him with some shelter from sexual bombardment.
Sexual and personal morality have never been so much discussed as they are today. Once, not long ago, the "dos"and "don'ts" were still inscribed on tablets of stone, handed down from parents to children without debate. Whether you obeyed them was another thing, but at least you knew exactly what they were.
Today, from Neighbours to Sugar magazine, individuals constantly talk ethics and choices. Should I have sex with him now, or wait? Should I tell her that her boyfriend's cheating on her?
So men do have choices. Depressingly, therefore, we have to retreat back to an ancient analysis of some male behaviour. There are men who do not really like women and are too lazy and stupid to try and understand what it might be like to be a woman. They are the football hooligans of sex, and I'm afraid no will ever figure out to do with them.

I just can't stop thinking about cheese! Okay girls, here's one you can realistically make in your own kitchen:
And this is just a beautiful look at how cheese is produced in a more industrial setting. You'll wish you were there:
"...to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified." Isaiah 61:3

Description of Residence for Roseate Tern (Sterna dougallii) in Canada
Section 33 of the Species at Risk Act (SARA) prohibits damaging or destroying the residence of a listed threatened, endangered, or extirpated species. SARA defines residence as: "a dwelling-place, such as a den, nest or other similar area or place, that is occupied or habitually occupied by one or more individuals during all or part of their life cycles, including breeding, rearing, staging, wintering, feeding or hibernating" [s.2(1)].
The prohibition comes into effect in different ways depending on the jurisdiction responsible for the species. As a migratory bird protected under the Migratory Bird Convention Act, the Roseate Tern is under federal jurisdiction. This means the residence prohibition is in effect on all lands on which the species occurs immediately upon its addition to the legal list of species at risk.
The following description of residence for the Roseate Tern (Sterna dougallii) was created for the purposes of increasing public awareness and aiding enforcement of the above prohibition. Roseate Terns are known to have one type of residence – the nest.
Species Information:
Common Name - Roseate Tern
Scientific Name - Sterna dougallii
Current COSEWIC Status & Year of Designation– Endangered (1999)
Occurrence in Canada – Nova Scotia, Québec, New Brunswick (Figure 1)
Rationale for Designation – Predation, competition, human disturbance.
Figure 1. Known breeding distribution of the Roseate Tern (Sterna dougallii ) in Canada. Triangles indicate sites where terns have nested since 1982.
1) The Nest
Physical Appearance and Context
The residence of a Roseate Tern is the nest. Terns usually breed on coastal islands1. The nest is built on the ground, often hidden in a tuft of vegetation, under a rock pile or beach debris, or in the case of managed colonies, in specially provided nest shelters. When used, these structures would be considered part of a residence. It breeds in mixed colonies with Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) and Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea).1
The clutch usually consists of one or two eggs1. The eggs, approximately 43 mm x 29 mm, are various shades of brown, with blackish-brown spots and streaks1. At hatching, the chicks are covered with down and are capable of walking. If left undisturbed, they may remain in or near the nest (within 10 cm) throughout the brood-rearing period. If they are forced to leave, they will hide nearby in vegetation or under a pile of debris, and may move up to 60 m to denser cover1.
The nest residence is essential to the sheltering, incubation, and hatching of eggs, and the rearing and feeding of young.
Damage and Destruction of the Residence
Any activity that destroys the function of the nest would constitute damage or destruction of the residence. This includes, but is not limited to, moving or otherwise disturbing the eggs; changing the microclimate of the nest (such as the amount of light or internal temperature); blocking access to the nest; or, in the case of colonies where nest shelters are used, affecting the functionality of nest shelters. Roseate Terns rely on large colonies of Arctic and Common Terns because the additional number of terns provides protection from predators. Therefore any actions or activities that have an impact on the colony could impair the functionality of a Roseate Tern residence through decreasing nest success.
Period and Frequency of Occupancy
The species is present at breeding colonies from mid-May to late August2. Since the nest may be used by the young for a prolonged period, it must be protected not only during nest building, laying, incubation and hatching, but also during brood rearing, or roughly during at least 60 days following nest construction.

Although they had some minor successes with their first two albums, Stay Hungry was their blockbuster breakthrough. Primarily remembered for its ridiculously simplistic and repetitive but ridiculously catchy teen anthems "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock" (both of which were accompanied by amusing movie videos that aired incessantly on MTV), this album is a hell of a lot of fun, though part of it may be nostalgia on my part as my teenage self was a huge fan of this album when it first came out and I was first getting into heavy metal. And this is a legitimate heavy metal album, albeit a very commercial one, though the band are sometimes dismissed as a "hair band" despite the fact that main man Dee Snider was anything but a pretty boy! OK, the band's glammed up look was part of it, but much of the blame for that moniker is also probably because of "The Price," the album's obligatory "power ballad" hit but a good one for what it is, and elsewhere there's lots of hard rocking goodness, including the terrific hard-charging title track and the mock horror tales that to me form the true heart of the album, "Burn In Hell" and the two-part "Horror-Teria: (The Beginning)," all of which sport heavy and memorable riffs, lyrics that make me smile and aren't meant to be taken seriously, and catchy choruses that I can't help but sing along to (p.s. they're really three songs as "Captain Howdy" and "Street Justice" are quite different and are easily self-contained; what they both have in common is simply that they're damn good). "Don't Let Me Down" is another good one with similar virtues as several other songs, namely a tuneful melody and a good overall performance, including an easily singable chorus and a nothing fancy but highly effective guitar solo. "The Beast" is quite heavy but is the only song here that I don't really care for, though it's not bad or anything and besides the stomping "S.M.F." then brings things to a respectable close, though the album certainly finishes weaker than it starts (as do most albums). Anyway, I still enjoy listening to Twisted Sister's biggest and in my opinion best album, cheesy and ridiculous though it may at times be, and Stay Hungry was certainly the last time that the band was a major commercial force, as the 1985 follow up Come Out and Play was a comparative stiff and Snyder is now perhaps better known as a radio personality than a music maker.

The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) hosted event aimed to raise the profile of smaller businesses across the country and was attended by a number of well-known lawmakers. Secretary of state for business Vince Cable was among those to speak to the audience, who were there to celebrate the launch of the International Festival of Business (IFB) held in Liverpool throughout June and July. According to the FSB, the IFB will be the biggest event of its kind since the Festival of Britain, which was a post-war show of the UK's power in 1951 and is regarded as one of the most important events in the country's economic history. The government-backed fair is expected to attract hundreds of thousands of people from across the globe and is likely to help SMEs to improve export figures and generate new sales leads. Speaking to the audience, Mr Cable said: "The last few years have been difficult for small businesses. Our economy is now on the mend and recovery is well under way but there is a lot more still to do." FSB national chairman John Allan believes the IFB will play a major role in improving the state of the economy. "The businesses we represent will undoubtedly be at the forefront of the UK's economic growth and tonight is an excellent opportunity to highlight the need for a regulatory environment that enables our entrepreneurs to flourish," Mr Allan stated. Helping SMEs to access export markets remains a priority for the FSB. In April, the organisation revealed that 24 per cent of its members expect to improve their export numbers in the next three months, with manufacturers the most optimistic at 42 per cent, closely followed by wholesalers at 41 per cent. According to the FSB, the main barriers to exporting are fluctuating exchange rates, difficulty finding customers and a lack of finance. Expert Opinion The Government's backing of this FSB event highlights the huge emphasis that politicians are placing on small businesses to help drive the ongoing improvements being seen in the economy. "It is also welcome to see the IFB being held to demonstrate what the UK's businesses have to offer, as well as the skills and talent that so many organisations possess. An event of this nature could bring important opportunities to small businesses and allow them to seek out new avenues for developing their operations. "We would urge any SMEs not involved to seek out how they can be, while they should also speak to legal advisers to get a steer on the key issues they will need to bear in mind when looking to take a step forward in their development."

I am expecting my second baby and I've never felt pretty in the maturity clothes they have to offer these days. I have always loved Bebe clothes. When I tried this on it fit perfectly! It hid what I needed to hide and showed off my baby bump perfectly. Do not hesitate to get this dress! Even pregnant, I still suggest sizing down. I'm usually a small. I ordered a large. I think a medium would have been a better fit. I bought this for to wear to a wedding.
