ARS: Python robotics simulator
ARS is a physically-accurate robotics simulator written in Python. Its main purpose is to help researchers to develop mobile manipulators and, in general, any multi-body system. It is open-source, modular, easy to learn and use, and can be a valuable tool in the process of robot design, in the development of control and reasoning algorithms, as well as in teaching and educational activities.
ARS uses Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) as physics engine, and Visualization Toolkit (VTK) as graphics engine. While both are well regarded and popular open-source software, ARS was designed to minimize coupling with them (through included abstraction layers) to let developers experiment with other alternatives.
Because ARS is pip-compatible, it's very easy to install, upgrade and uninstall it:
$ pip install ARS $ pip install --upgrade ARS $ pip uninstall ARS
While that's the recommended way to go, you may still follow the old-fashion procedure: download the file, unpack and run
$ python setup.py install
ARS needs:
- Python 2.6 or 2.7
- ODE (Open Dynamics Engine) 0.12 with Python bindings
- VTK (Visualization Toolkit) 5.8 with Python bindings
- NumPy 1.6
ODE and VTK can be somewhat complicated to install, depending on your OS.
For detailed installation instructions (ARS and requirements) and troubleshooting, see the online documentation.
The documentation is hosted at ReadTheDocs.org and it is generated dynamically after each commit to the repository.

The Gallardo was released in 2003 as an extension of the tradition of fine sports cars Lamborghini is known for. Like the other top end sports cars in Lamborghini's line, the Gallardo is produced in limited quantities. However, the Gallardo has the highest production rate of a Lamborghini to date with almost 10,000 models made between 2003 and 2010. This mid-engine, four-wheel drive sports car is still in production.
The Lamborghini Gallardo is best known for its manual transmission. Two transmissions are available: the regular H box six-speed and a six-speed hydraulically-controlled semi-automatic manual dubbed the E-gear. The E-gear uses an automatic clutch system controlled by computers and hydraulics. The driver can select the gear by pressing on paddles mounted to the steering to change the gear without shifting a stick in the center console. This makes shifting much quicker and easier for the driver in high-speed situations.
The 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo comes in two main models in four different varieties. The main two-door coupé comes as a LP 560-4 and a LP 570-4 Supperleggera. The high performance Spyder convertible version also has two variants: the LP 560-4 Spyder and the LP 570-4 Spyder Performante.
The 560-4 is a slightly downgraded model but still a big power player and performer. A 5.2-liter V-10 engine produces 560 horsepower, which is an increase of 40 horsepower over the last Gallardo. Add to that a 20-kilogram reduction in weight and that means more speed. This fine machine can accelerate zero to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 201 mph. Unlike the 550-2 Aventador, the body of the 560-4 has an aluminum structural frame with an aluminum body.
The LP 570-4 Superleggera improves on the base model by switching out some of the heavier aluminum parts for carbon fiber variants. This makes the car lighter; 154 pounds is taken off the Superleggera, making it a slimmer machine. Pirelli sports rubber over Pirelli P Zero Corsa 19-inch wheels hold the car up but doesn't weigh it down.
A V-10 V90 degree DOHC 40 Valve engine powers the car. The Superleggera has an impressive acceleration rate of zero to 62 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds, and zero to 124 miles per hour in 10.2 seconds.
The LP 560-4 Spyder is the convertible version of the Gallardo. The design of these machines is truly special. The unique silhouette is eye catching, and the thermoplastic parts keep the weight down without looking tacky. Under the hood, it's equipped with a V-10 V90 DOHC but with 4 valves. The car accelerates zero to 62 in 4.0 seconds due to the extra drag from the convertible top.
The LP 570-4 Spyder Performante is a bit lighter than the 560-4 due to the use of carbon fiber throughout the body. Zero to 63 miles per hour coming in 3.9 seconds. Large air intakes on the back of the vehicle keep the engine cool when moving at top speed.
Over the years, the Gallardo has been changed in many ways to increase engine performance and counter criticism of the car's design.
The original Gallardo had a 5.0 V-10 and was powerful enough, but the design was not up to Lamborghini owner expectations. A limited edition Gallardo SE was built in 2005. It had a black two-tone roof and shaded rims with Pirelli tires. Some of the design innovations from the SE such as the exhaust and suspension system were used in the redesign of the regular Gallardo models.
In 2007, a limited edition Gallardo Nera was released at the Paris Motor Show. The model had an all black body as well as black parts. The brake lights were smoked to match the rest of the car. The brake calibers were silver as well as some of the stitching and material inside the car.
The Spyder model of the Gallardo was released in 2006 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. This car is a favorite among celebrities: Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer and Top Gear host and car enthusiast Jeremy Clarkson are owners of the trendy Spyders.
The Supperleggera, which was released in 2007, means super light; the car also introduced better air intake, a refined exhaust and the E-gear transmission as standard.
The LP 560-4 was first released in 2008. The 560-4 Spyder was released in the same year.
A LP 550-2 Balboni was released in 2009 in extremely limited numbers; only 250 were made. The vehicle is named after Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni. It was the first Gallardo to use rear drive.
If a prospective buyer is looking for a high performance car, it's a good choice to look into, especially if they don't want to shell out for the Aventador, which is actually rumored to replace the Gallardo.

The Lamborghini Gallardo has fewer cylinders and less horsepower than the Lamborghini Murcielago, but this does not mean it is without power and excellent performance.

Overview and Observation:
The continuing saga of the "Bitcoin" where no intrinsic value can be determined and where prices have skyrocketed leads me to reminisce about my 1982 trip to Kuwait. I was there at the request of a Shiek member of the Royal Family to establish a branch office for a U.S. Brokerage firm, Jesup & Lamont. Unfortunately the timing was wrong since it was exactly at the time of the Souk Al-Manakh stock market crash.
The market had been housed in an air-conditioned parking garage that had been for trading camels. It dealt in highly speculative and unregulated non-Kuwaiti companies. Its capitalization was exceeded only by that of the U.S. and Japan and higher than that of Great Britain and France. Unfortunately the companies were mostly "shell creations" and the investors were buying stock with post-dated checks as well. The crash occurred after a Passport Office employee presented a postdated check that bounced. That prompted the crash, which by September of 1982 was met with the Kuwaiti Ministry of Finance closing the exchange as the outstanding "worthless checks" totaled the equivalent of $94 billion from 6,000 investors." Only Kuwaiti's were made whole while outsiders had to "bite the bullet." That, in turn with the Iraq, Iranian war, which reduced oil revenues, pushed the entire Gulf region into recession. Needless to say I spent nearly a week there with Hotel Meridien workers who were either Palestinian or Syrian, no liquor or "pork products" (the bacon was beef) and lunching on lamb hanging on a chain over a spit surrounded by flies….. The best part of the trip was the flight back on Lufthansa to London and then the Concord to New York.
Getting back to the current "Bitcoin" phenomena, I see another "crisis" developing and China, in its recent statement disallowing the use of bitcoins, agrees. I am curious to see how the value of the Bitcoin is established since a "brass Coin" though limited in outstanding number, is still a brass coin. The decision by China to disallow its banks from dealing in "bitcoins" was to some extent due to Former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan calling the rapid rise in "value" a "bubble." The ban was imposed since bitcoins are not backed by any country or "central authority" according to the Chinese notice. Now for some actual information……
Interest Rates:
The March 30-year Treasury bond contact (CBOT:ZBH14) closed at 129 09/32nds, up 10/32nds on Friday recovering from the early session selloff that saw prices decline to a low of 128 01/32nds. The stronger than expected U.S. jobs report prompted the selling as the data showed the U.S. added 203,000 jobs in November and the unemployment rate declining from 7.3 to 7% flat. The concern is that the Federal Reserve may consider "tapering" its bond buying program at its Dec. 17-18 policy meeting. The data on Friday also showed consumer confidence increased to its highest level in five months with the University of Michigan/Thomson Reuters index rising to 82.5 in December from the final November reading of 75.1. Economist expectations called for an increase to 76.5. The lower unemployment rate was also a reflection of the return of federal workers after the end of the October government shutdown. We do not feel the U.S. Federal Reserve would use one "questionable" report to modify its current stimulus program but one Fed Governor, Plosser, suggested it may be time to "gracefully exit" the QE3 program and that is of concern to both bond and equity traders. We maintain our "neutral" position and expect the current range to remain intact. Analysts consider any change in policy a 50/50 chance. On any rally in bonds we would sell calls and on any sharp decline sell puts establishing a "strangle" spread.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- At 107, Frank Buckles must know there is not much time for him to honor the memory of his comrades who served the United States during the first World War. He's the last surviving U.S. veteran of what then was called the Great War.
Frank Buckles is 107 years old and the last surviving U.S. veteran of World War I.
The old soldier came to Washington on Tuesday hoping to turn a run-down local memorial on the National Mall into something in keeping with other, permanent monuments to Americans who've sacrificed in other wars.
He's getting help from a Texas congressman who said he found the condition of the site deplorable. At a news conference with Buckles on Tuesday, Rep. Ted Poe said he has introduced the "Frank Buckles World War I Act" to renovate and expand the memorial within the next few years.
Poe, a Republican, said his bill would "give this memorial energy, and will be incorporated in a grander, better memorial for all that served in World War I."
The price of the initial renovations would be around $1 million, Poe said, and the site eventually would be upgraded to a national memorial, though design details haven't been determined.
The memorial is currently not national, having been built primarily to honor about 500 veterans from the District of Columbia.
Buckles, who left the Army as a corporal, first visited the gazebo-style structure in March. He told reporters Tuesday that he does not think it's too late to acknowledge the sacrifice of all Americans from that war.
"I think they should be honored by their representatives," Buckles said from his wheelchair. "I am a representative of World War I, simply through longevity."
Also pushing the overhaul and upgrade are the D.C. Preservation League and the World War I Memorial Foundation.
The site of the current monument -- in dense woods not far from the fresh and elaborate World War II memorial -- is hard to find, even in the dead of winter, when Buckles last visited.
"We just saw it through the trees," tourist Regina Duffy said in March. "I was surprised when we got over here that it was a World War I memorial, because I thought it would be more prominent."
With summer foliage fully in bloom, the city's monument is almost completely obscured.
Zeke Musa of Florida said it "looks like it's been neglected."
"If you just look at the walks here, all the stones are broken and everything. These guys served their country, you know? It's a shame," said Musa, a Vietnam veteran.
According to an autobiography released this year by the Pentagon, Buckles was eager to join the war. Although only 16 in the summer of 1917, he lied about his age to get into the armed services.
He said his recruiter told him "the Ambulance Service was the quickest way to get to France," so he took training in trench casualty retrieval.
Buckles was an officer's escort in France before joining a detail transporting German prisoners of war.
He now lives on his family's cattle farm near Charles Town, West Virginia.

Mayor Don Wesely today said the Lincoln-Lancaster County Planning Commission's unanimous approval of a revised Comprehensive Plan is a major step in developing a plan for the future growth of the community. Among the amendments adopted by the Commission at its meeting Wednesday was the addition of about seven square miles in the Stevens Creek Basin to the city's 25-year growth plan.
"Although I had proposed adding 4.7 miles to the area, I support the Commission action as long as we continue to focus on finding solutions to paying for growth," said Mayor Wesely. "Infrastructure financing remains the key to the future growth of the city, and the adoption of impact fees for new development must be a priority. Creating a system in which growth pays its fair share will enable us to maintain quality services in the existing neighborhoods."
Wesely said he was also pleased that the Planning Commission adopted his suggestion to substitute a transportation study for the Yankee Hill Road Crossing Study. The Commission calls for a system-wide analysis of the transportation system.
"For the first time, the Comprehensive Plan integrates pedestrians, bicyclists, trail users and public transit customers into transportation planning," said Wesely. "This Plan also includes chapters on environmental and natural resource planning and future business and commerce growth. This study for the first time incorporates economic development with the Comprehensive Plan. All these additions are the first of their kind in a Lincoln Comprehensive Plan."
The natural resources chapter calls for the creation of the Salt Valley Heritage Greenway, a park area that laces around the future urban areas. The business and commerce chapter provides for an expanded commercial and industrial base as well as greater opportunities for development. Another addition supported by Mayor Wesely is the creation of affordable, quality housing in all areas of the community.
The draft Comprehensive Plan will be revised and prepared for public release. The City Council and County Board will have joint public hearings on the Plan May 8 and 22.

Peter, would he be allowed to become king if he does convert, or does the monarch have to be Church of England?

The prince, like his friend, the composer Sir John Tavener, who converted to Greek Orthodoxy in 1977, is said to be especially drawn to the Orthodox church's rugged spirituality. Orthodox faithful are allowed to marry up to three times.
The Duchess of Cornwall is not Prince Charles' "concubine", she is his wife. His previous wife (who was not without fault either, may she rest in peace) is dead therefore it would seem that he is free to marry again.Why would such an uncharitable word be used to refer to a lady whom, I suspect, none of us knows?
Quote from: Ebor on May 13, 2010, 10:17:13 PMThe Duchess of Cornwall is not Prince Charles' "concubine", she is his wife. His previous wife (who was not without fault either, may she rest in peace) is dead therefore it would seem that he is free to marry again.Why would such an uncharitable word be used to refer to a lady whom, I suspect, none of us knows? I did not notice that you had returned Ebor! Welcome back! I have really missed your presence.Regarding my description of the Duchess of Cornwall as Prince Charles's concubine, I apologize for giving offense. I did not mean anything uncharitable by it.I may still be right in my description of her as his concubine (which means, according to Merriam-Webster, "a woman with whom a man cohabits without being married"). I had forgotten that Charles was free to marry after Diana's death, but Camilla was perhaps not. The reason is that Camilla was previously married in a Catholic ceremony to Andrew Parker-Bowles (still living). Of course, she still bore her husband's name at the time of her "civil marriage" to Charles at the Windsor Guildhall---the fact that the wedding could not take place in the Church of England is telling.Now, it is uncertain that Andrew and Camilla Parker-Bowles were ever granted a declaration of nullity for their marriage. Andrew's justification for his civil divorce with Camilla was her cheating on him with Prince Charles. Andrew "re-married" in 1996, a year after his civil divorce from Camilla. The wedding took place in the Chelsea Registry Office, not in a church (Catholic or otherwise), which leads one to suspect that no declaration of nullity was obtained.Now, it is possible that Camilla asked for a declaration of nullity before her wedding with Charles in 2005, but unlikely---not being a Catholic, and already willing to have a "civil marriage" with Charles, why would she care? And secondly, since Charles was the stated cause of her breakup with her husband Andrew, it would be unseemly to ask for a declaration of nullity just to marry the "other" man.So is Camilla still a concubine? Likely yes. No offense meant.--Notwithstanding this, like I said before, I quite like Charles.

To say that Powers "has always fallen short in the presentation of viscerally compelling characters" is to say only that he has attempted to exploit the possibilities of fiction in a way that doesn't rely on "viscerally compelling characters" to engage the reader's interest. He wants the reader to involve him/herself in the "intricacy" of design, to find in the tracing out of the incremental, spiralling pattern a source of interest at least as compelling as character identification, if not more so, since Powers's novels make it clear that the writer's job is not merely to tell stories and evoke characters, but to use such things as story and character to make something fresh from the form, to find the means to unite story, character, and theme with form in a way that is mutually reinforcing: character is tied to the evolving revelations of form, formal ingenuity itself embodies and discloses theme. It is said that Powers is a novelist interested in "ideas," especially scientific ideas, but even here Powers uses science--in The Time of Our Singing, quantum physics--to help construct formal patterns that, while illustrative of the ideas and their implications, are also themselves aesthetically provocative.
- Catherynne Valente: "I Am a Fantasy Writer". This has the best last line of anything I've read in a long time.
- Waggish on Samuel R. Delany's Motion of Light in Water
- "The Top Twenty Novels for Geeks" [by men]. What, girls can't write geeky books or books for geeks? Evidence against provided here and here. (I'm ignoring the question of why any of these books are geeky or for geeks. Let others debate that one...)

The Richard NOTT mentioned was quite possibly Elizabeth's brother; otherwise, he would have been her grandfather. Or he could even be her uncle...another Richard NOTT, christened in 1775. Hugh NOTT, also mentioned, may have been another brother or, more likely, Elizabeth's father, christened 3 August 1777 in Coldridge, Devon.
The NOTT surname makes its largest appearance in Australia, with many New Zealand connections. But in my Devon family, it is the Christian names which are connected. These naming traditions can be of great help to the bewildered researcher who is confronted with 68 John HAYWOODs...often, you can tell which is your family and which are your ancestors, by following these guidelines:
|1st son
|paternal grandfather
|2nd son
|maternal grandfather
|3rd son
|4th son
|father's oldest brother
|1st daughter
|maternal grandmother
|2nd daughter
|paternal grandmother
|3rd daughter
|4th daughter
|mother's oldest sister

Hmm, me thinks it's worth the effort to find out who we have out there.
We should look at the electoral maps and try to share it among us and find out...
No elected MPs are out atheists. Some of the Bloc members or new Quebec NDP MPs may be (although they might be better called secular catholics). I know the Parti Quebecois has a Critic for Secularism in the National Assembly (I covered that for Canadian Atheist here: http://canadianatheist.com/2011/01/20/in-french-its-pronounced-lacit/).

CIC Goes Shopping in Japan, for Property
By Alison Tudor and Isabella Steger
China Investment Corp.'s most high-profile real estate investment in Japan so far is just the sovereign wealth fund's latest move in steadily building up its property portfolio.
CIC, together with Blackstone Group L.P., agreed to buy a Japanese property loan portfolio from Morgan Stanley last year for around US$ 1billion, according to a person familiar with the matter.
CIC has been showing increasing interest in distressed property assets since the financial crisis, particularly in the U.S. Depressed real-estate values there have been drawing interest from foreign investors from all over, though the value of investments still pales in comparison to the pre-crisis days of 2007, when in the third quarter overseas investment peaked at $8.7 billion.

Can Stacy overcome the seemingly insurmountable problems and get them all safely back to camp?
Stacy McAllister is a top safari guide on a South African game reserve. While taking three men on a trek to photograph wild animals, they encounter a group of criminals, vehicle theft, being held at gunpoint and threatened with murder.

Christmas Day
is one of the truly great feast days, for many the greatest, of Christendom,
celebrating Jesus' birth.
According to most Christian denominations falls on December 25. As part of Christmas celebrations in Sweden days, however, of secondary importance when most Christmas celebrations take place already on Christmas Eve.
But with more and more broken families, the Christmas Day in many cases, been the day you visit the branch of the family who do not participate in the Christmas Eve celebration.
Many go to church on Christmas morning or in the solemn Mass celebrated on the night of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
In most countries, Christmas Day, the day they celebrate Christmas the most.
It is common to celebrate midnight mass in church on Christmas night, and sometimes you go over there and have torches in your hands.

A factory reset is the ultimate cleansing of your Android device. It's usually either a last resort to fix a problem, done before you sell it, or because you like to flash ROMs. When you perform a factory reset you're essentially wiping out everything you've ever done to the phone and restoring it back to the basic manufacturer software. As we've mentioned before, it doesn't uninstall any software updates you've received from the folks who made your phone, but it does wipe out any core application updates you've grabbed from the Google Play store. The technical details are as follows:
- /system is untouched, because it's normally read-only
- /data is erased
- /cache is erased
- /sdcard is untouched
When your phone or tablet reboots, it's like it was when you opened the box as far as apps and user data goes, except for your data on the SD card partition (either a real, physical microSD card or a partition named sdcard).
Doing a factory reset is easy -- open the settings, do a little digging (different manufacturers put it in different places, but start with privacy or storage), select it and confirm. Your device will reboot into the recovery partition, erase everything, they reboot into the setup again. One thing to note though -- if you've rooted and ROM'd in any way, you should never do a factory reset from settings. Often times it works just fine, but some devices and some ROMs are so different once hacked that you'll end up with a bricked phone. We hate bricked phones around these parts. Follow the instructions from the folks who developed the software you're running instead, and use the reset method they recommend.

Windows 8 is not recommended for campus use at this time. However, if you have to support a Windows 8 portable device, it must be encrypted. At this time, BitLocker is available to accomplish this task on all Windows 8 portable devices that have a TPM chip and do not run on an ARM platform (such as a Windows 8 RT tablet). Windows 8 devices that run on an ARM platform or those that do not have TPM chips should not be used.
UAB Policy requires all laptop/portable devices owned by UAB or UAB businesses and all personal laptop/portable devices used for UAB business be encrypted. PGP, UAB's current encryption tool, does not work on Windows 8 and Symantec has not yet set a support date for Windows 8.
BitLocker is an acceptable alternative to encrypt Windows 8 system drives in some circumstances. In the past, BitLocker has been recommended when PGP was incompatible with Windows 7 or specific BIOS versions. Systems that are currently encrypted with PGP should remain encrypted via PGP. UAB IT is currently researching BitLocker key management solutions and will issue further guidance as available, but in the mean time, BitLocker should be installed using the non-enterprise setup method below.
Non-Enterprise BitLocker Setup
Recommendations for using BitLocker
- Password set system BIOS
- TPM chip in the device
- You must take ownership of the TPM chip
- Before updating the BIOS, BitLocker must be suspended
- Escrow the key in some manner
- Professional/enterprise version of Windows
- Use a TPM + PIN authentication method
- System must be formatted NTFS with two volumes
Escrowing the key
With Windows 8, you may escrow the key in one of the following ways:
- Save the recovery key to a USB flash drive This method saves the recovery key to a USB flash drive. This option cannot be used with removable drives.
- Save the recovery key to a file This method saves the recovery key to a network drive or other location.
- Print the recovery key This method prints the recovery key, but it is not recommended.
It will be up to the department to maintain the escrow recovery keys.

The Book of Baruch is a beautifully poetic biblical text that takes us back to the period of the Exile, a time of darkness for Israel. They are a broken people, far from their homeland, which was ravaged by the Babylonians. Just before our reading, desolate Jerusalem speaks as a mother to her lost children. She recognizes their suffering from afar and charges them with courage and faith (4:9-29).
Now, in our first reading, the prophet speaks to her: "Jerusalem, take off your robe of mourning; put on the splendor of glory from God forever.... Up, Jerusalem! Stand upon the heights; look to the east and see your children…for God is leading Israel in joy by the light of his glory."
Look to the east: that is, look out at your children coming home in glory from exile. Jeremiah had prophesied God's intent to re-establish Israel in peace: "For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare, not for woe! Plans to give you a future full of hope" (Jer 29:11). As we know, Israel's return from exile was as shaky as it was glorious. That is the human condition. Still, it was astonishing. Look to the east and see God's glorious salvation.
That historical moment both testifies to God's love for a broken people and foreshadows the coming of his glorious son. This foreshadowing brings us to the Gospel reading. Luke describes how John the Baptist prepares for the Lord by "proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins," thereby fulfilling what was written in the Book of Isaiah (40:3-5). John becomes "A voice crying out in the desert: 'Prepare the way of the Lord...and all flesh will see the salvation of God.'" This passage, which initially referred to the return of the exiles, is now used to describe the fullness of that salvation in Christ.
John is a brilliant transition figure from the Old Covenant to the New. In his person, he encapsulates the whole prophetic anticipation of God's salvation for Israel. He is the Elijah figure prophesied by Malachi: "Now I am sending to you Elijah the prophet, before the day of the Lord comes" (3:23); for John had the "spirit and power of Elijah" (Lk 1:17).
John is unnerving, as all prophets of repentance are. The story goes that when a commissioned statue of John the Baptist arrived at a certain Benedictine abbey in the United States some 50 years ago, several of the monks did not like the fact that he looked so unnaturally gaunt and grave. The abbot is said to have remarked, "I suspect that the reason you don't like it is that it vividly reminds you of a life you abandoned long ago." Whether apocryphal or not, the story points us to a man unwavering in his demand for repentance.
Yet John is ultimately a presence of hope and light. To those willing to listen and be baptized, he pointed metaphorically to the east, toward the rising sun, where a new era was emerging. Repentance is really all about hope. It is a purification in anticipation of union. As Jesus promised, the pure of heart will see God (Mt 5:8). John leads us to the Lord and thus our salvation. In this sense, we are Jerusalem, still in too much darkness, still being called to look east.
Advent is a time when the spirit of John the Baptist calls us to purification and prayer. His is a baptism, Luke tells us, of metanoia. The word literally means a turn-around. Of course, the turning here is a turning from sin. Metanoia is a good image also for turning from gloom to joy, from desperation to anticipation, from darkness to the light of the world.
We should let John the Baptist take charge of us this Advent, unnerving as he is. We should let him encourage us to purify our hearts. And we should listen to the invitation he and the whole prophetic tradition offers: turn around to look east.

What did they do to occupy themselves, apart from collecting - and presumably reading - the piles of newspapers and books which filled much of their house? Well, the photographic record suggests that they regularly spent at least a part of their summers visiting various seaside resorts. In Sidewalk Photographers I presented a series of "walking pictures" taken of them with various other family members in Great Yarmouth (1931, 1937 and 1938) and Bournemouth (1932 and 1933).

This snapshot was also taken by a professional, but is not a "walkie." Here the photographer has opted to capture his tourist clientele en masse, conveniently gathered together on the top aft deck of an excursion boat. The boat appears to be tied up on the western side of the Bournemouth Pier, the characteristic Dorset cliffs being visible in the background, and possibly the Bournemouth beach huts and amusement arcade at the foot of the cliff. In some respects, it could be considered the same genre of commercial portrait to that of a charabanc outing that my Dutch grandparents had on the Isle of Wight, also in the early 1920s.

Provided the excursion was long enough, as soon as the boat departed the photographer would have time to nip into his dark room, possibly even a small booth on or close to the pier, develop the negative and have a couple of dozen postcard prints of each on display and for sale by the time the boat returned.
The negative was inscribed in black ink - reversed to white on the print, of course - with "Queen 15.9.23" at the lower left, the latter being the date of the photograph, 15th September 1923, and the number "1999" on the funnel, presumably a negative number. An enlargement of the lifebelt hanging over the railings shows that the boat was the Bournemouth Queen registered at Southampton.
Red Funnel Steamers postcard of Bournemouth Queen

According to Ian Boyle's comprehensive web site Simplon Postcards, devoted to passenger ships, the Bournemouth Queen was a paddle steamer of the Red Funnel Line serving as an excursion ship out of Bournemouth for most of its lengthy career, which included service in both world wars, before being finally scrapped in 1957. There was another Bournemouth Queen based in Poole who also operated on the Bournemouth-Isle of Wight run from 1968 to 1973.

This photograph of the later ship taking on passengers shows a signboard on the gangway advertising daily trips to the Isle of Wight departing from Bournemouth at 10.15 a.m. and returning at 6 pm, with the opportunity to spend 4½ hours ashore, and coach tours of the island available if booked in advance. Granted this was several decades later, but it indicates that there would have been plenty of time for photo developing and printing before the customers returned.
The back of the postcard reveals the photographer to be "Bailey, 228 A Christchurch Rd., Bournemouth." Alwyn Ladell tells me that Ernest Benjamin Bailey operated first from 240/242 Old Christchurch Road, then later at Glen Fern Chambers/Glen Fern Studios in Bournemouth, and the range of dates that I've seen on similar postcards extends from 1914 to 1940. The negative number clearly visible on most examples could be used to order copies at a later date. This might suggest that negative numbers could therefore be used to establish a date sequence, and thus lead to an estimation of the number of photographs he was taking.

However, after a preliminary analysis of the numerous examples of Bailey's postcards available on the net - a selection can be seen on Alwyn Ladell's Flickr photostream - there doesn't appear to be a single sequence of negative numbers, and it's possible he started a new series each season.
My aunt has inscribed the reverse of the postcard in blue pen, with the suggestion that her father (CLLP) is seated 5th from left in the front row, and "Sarah & Hallam also CVP right of funnel ... three rows behind," CVP being CLLP's father and Hallam's older brother. I've had a good look at a higher resolution image of the postcard and, while Sarah and Hallam (shown above) are unmistakeable, I don't think either CLLP or CVP are on that boat.

This postcard, also by Bailey and taken only a few weeks before Uncle Hallam and Aunt Sarah were in Bournemouth, shows the same vessel but is a far more interesting view of passengers on the foredeck. Apart from the wonderful detail of the excursionists sporting a fine array of hats, clothing and accessories, there is a magnificent view of the holidaymakers arrayed in their deckchairs or promenading past the beach huts and amusement arcades on Bournemouth beach, a few ankle deep in the water, some even preparing to board a smaller pleasure boat. What a different feel it has to the one showing Uncle Hallam and Aunt Sarah, where all are dressed in heavy overcoats, the sun does not appear to be showing its face, and there is no action in the background to liven things up.

Sometimes he would photograph the passengers disembarking from the steamer, presumably on their return from the Isle of Wight. Perhaps they were given tickets by an assistant, printed with the negative number, and told they could return the next day for the prints.

This early postcard view from the West Cliff by an unknown publisher - possibly James Valentine or Photochrom - shows the popular beach and the pier, and a paddle steamer moored beside the latter.

As shown by the photograph above of an exuberant group of swimmers at the beach, and another of more sedate beachgoers occupying deckchairs below, Bailey did not restrict himself to the pier, and when there were no excursion boats to be serviced he no doubt touted for business along the waterfront.

A further postcard by Bailey of the Pier Approach, Bournemouth is of a different genre, which indicates that he also produced more general views, and probably had them on sale along with his specific excursion oriented group shots at the tent shown earlier.
Don't forget to head over to Sepia Saturday to be entertained by more photographs, perhaps along a similar theme to either this one or Alan Burnett's image of a London & North Western Railway Co. office in Waterford, Ireland.

WHITE PIGEON (AP) -- Authorities say a pickup truck with four flat tires that hadn't run for five or six years was reportedly targeted by thieves in southwestern Michigan.
MLive.com reports Monday that the truck was taken during the last two to four weeks in White Pigeon, about 80 miles south of Grand Rapids.
The St. Joseph County sheriff's department says the red, 2000 Dodge had a 100-gallon aluminum fuel tank in its bed along with an aluminum toolbox.
A witness reported seeing a flat-bed wrecker take the pickup truck as a second tow truck followed behind.

In this challenge, we convert a color photograph to a B & W photograph. I liked the way the antique kitchen looked in B & W but the sepia tone showcased the vintage feel of the kitchen. Historic Spanish Point is located in Sarasota, Florida. The tour showcases many homes of the first settlers of Sarasota as well as the first school house and church. An enjoyable day trip if you live near Sasrasota or if you're looking for historic landmarks.

Freedom University: Undocumented College Students in Georgia Forced to Attend Underground School
As Georgia votes in its Super Tuesday primary, the State Senate has voted to ban undocumented immigrant students from all public universities. Undocumented students from Georgia are already barred from the state's five most competitive schools and must pay out-of-state tuition at other state schools. "Telling us that we cannot obtain higher education, that we cannot go to college or community college, even if we work hard and do our best in school, it is crushing dreams, it is crushing goals," says Keish Kim, an undocumented student from South Korea who now attends Freedom University, an ad hoc underground school in Athens, Georgia, where university professors volunteer to teach undocumented students kept out of public classrooms. We also speak with Azadeh Shahshahani, director of the National Security/Immigrants' Rights Project at the ACLU of Georgia. [includes rush transcript]

Governor Wants Kids to Eat Healthy

Original Title:
Governor Takes Aim at Junk Food in Obesity Summit
With obesity a problem that costs California an estimated $30 billion per year in lost productivity and health costs, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today launched a summit on the issue. He's focusing on children, encouraging them to exercise more and eat healthier.
He began the day by walking a little more than half a mile with elementary school children from across the Valley.
Schwarzenegger has brought together the public and private sectors to encourage both better eating and fitness in the Summit on Health, Nutrition and Obesity at Cal Expo. However, he told the assembled children he needs their help, too.
"We need a commitment from all of you. Don't eat always all the junk food? OK? Stay away from the junk food and exercise every day. Do I hear your commitment to exercise every day?" he asked the children.
To underscore the aims of the summit, Schwarzenegger signed legislation to limit sales of soda and junk food on public school campuses.
According to a study by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, two-thirds of teens in the state drink soda every day, and nearly half eat fast food. More than 9 percent eat fast food twice a day, according to the study.

Comedian and 'AGT' finalist Tom Cotter returns to perform on Wednesday's live results show
The competition on NBC's "America's Got Talent" heats up next week as another four acts move on to the semifinals, and four lucky eliminated top-60 acts are named the judges' wild card choice and given a second chance to win the $1 million prize.
Comedian and "AGT" finalist Tom Cotter returns to the stage to perform on the Wednesday, Aug. 21, live results show (9 p.m.). Cotter was named runner-up in last season's finale.

Critically ill patients frequently have uncertain prognoses, but their families overwhelmingly wish that physicians would address prognostic uncertainty candidly, according to a new study out of the University of San Francisco Medical Center.
"Our interviews revealed that caregivers appear to believe that some uncertainty is unavoidable, and just the nature of life," said lead author Douglas White, M.D., M.A.S., assistant professor in UCSF's Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine and the UCSF Program in Medical Ethics. "The vast majority of families of critically ill patients want physicians to openly discuss the prognosis, even when physicians can't be certain that their estimates are correct."
But past research showing that physicians are reluctant to discuss uncertain prognoses reveals a schism between families' wishes and physicians' comfort.
The results were reported in the second issue for January of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, published by the American Thoracic Society.
Between January 2006 and October 2007, researchers at the University of San Francisco Medical Center conducted face-to-face interviews with 179 surrogate decision-makers for patients in four separate intensive care units (ICUs). The interviews explored surrogates' attitudes about whether physicians should discuss prognoses when they cannot be certain their prognostic estimates are correct.
When asked whether they would prefer to hear physicians' prognoses, 87 percent of caregivers indicated that they would want to be told of all prognostic estimates, even if the estimates were tentative. Most also indicated that they appreciated a physician's candor in discussing uncertain outcomes as honest, rather than seeing it as a source of confusion or anxiety.
"We learned that family members wanted prognostic information in order to know whether they needed to begin to prepare for the chance that their loved one might die, and so begin the bereavement process," Dr. White said. "I think one of the strongest messages that comes from this study is that family members want to have this discussion with the physician, and want to have the opportunity to take care of unfinished personal and familial business before their loved one dies. They need that chance to say their goodbyes, in case the patient does die."
Dr. White also noted that while the majority of family members indicated that they did want physicians to discuss all possible outcomes, a not-insignificant portion-- 12 percent-- said they did not want to discuss uncertain prognoses, indicating that a "one-size-fits-all" approach is insufficient in critical care situations.
"Our findings suggest that physicians need to develop the skills to understand the unique needs of surrogates, and then tailor their approach to discussing prognosis to meet those needs," he said. "This is an area in need of well-designed quantitative and qualitative studies."
Dr. White and his colleagues are currently involved in a follow-up study to help family members navigate the process of surrogate decision making in the ICU setting.
John Heffner, M.D., past president of the ATS, emphasized that the results of this study parallel previous investigations that examined patient and family preferences in discussing do-not-resuscitate orders and end-of-life care. "In almost all studies, patients and families express a desire for clear information to inform their decisions. Although physicians often wish to shelter their patients and patient families from what might seem to be harsh realities, the human spirit is resilient. Patients and families access to information from their doctors."

Difference between revisions of "Sisophon"
Revision as of 14:48, 18 January 2012
Sisophon commonly known as "Serei-sophon" or "Svay" is a small town and provincial capital of Banteay Meanchey Province, North-western Cambodia, located at the north-west junction of National Highways 5 & 6. Stueng Sisophon, the medium sized river which can be seen from both bridges, meanders its way round the southern circumference of the town.
Get in
By car
Highway 5 to Battambang (80km to the south) is sealed. Highway 5 to Poipet (50km to the west) and Highway 6 to Siem Reap (100km to the east) are both now sealed, allowing for fast and comfortable travel in all but the most exceptional circumstances. Highway 69 to Banteay Chhmar (70km to the north) is a less substantial road and may be impassable at times during the rainy season.
The milestones along the main roads on the approach to Sisophon have it labelled as Banteay Meanchey.
By Bus
Several bus companies' offices can be found on the north side of the shared taxi stand. This is where they pick up and drop passengers, though a less centrally located bus station is being threatened (as of early 2012).
There are direct buses to:
By Train
Supposedly due for 2013 is the resurrection of the train line, which would see services from Poipet to Sisophon and on to Battambang, Phnom Penh, Kampot and Sihanoukville. Though progress is slow.
Get around
The town is small enough to be comprehensively covered on foot. Even the nearest attraction beyond the town, the lookout tower, can be approached on foot from the town.
Sisophon Station can be found south west of central Sisophon. It is on the Phnom Penh to Poipet line. Services to Sisophon terminated in 2006, and the station is currently in decay. The French 'art deco' architecture can still be appreciated, as can the platforms and the informal economy that has taken over the station area, lending it a lively flavour of urban squalor.
"Phnom Bak" (131m) to the immediate north of Sisophon's centre, features an old government lookout tower, used in the 1990's to watch the Khmer Rouge's movements in the area. From here can be seen great views of the surrounding area, especially viewing southward. An access track to the top of Phnom Bak can be found on the northern side, and you must ask the guard at the top to unlock the gate.
"Phnom Tien" (98m), a hill approximately 2km west of town, on Road No. 6, features a pagoda half way up, with a famous well, from where the hill's vertical face can be appreciated. Phnom Tien has been known to be popular with foreign climbers.
Motorbikes can be rented at Golden Crown guest house for $10 per day to allow exploration of the town and its environs.
Opposite the Golden Crown Guesthouse is an internet cafe, $0.50/hour.
Sisophon Market (Psar Sisophon) is to the north of the shared taxi stand. Its stalls sell any basic necessities from toothpaste to basic meals.
English language newspapers can be obtained from vendors near the bus company shops that line the north side of the shared taxi stand. Don't expect the latest edition.
The Mirror Restaurant, is a reasonably new fast food restaurant, with air-con, serving fried chicken, french fries, and - according to the proprietor - fried ice cream. It can be found to the east of town, opposite Sokimex gas station on Road No. 6. Meals $1 - $4.
The Golden Crown Guesthouse Restaurant, situated underneath the guesthouse, is your standard, tiled, Khmer restaurant, serving rice, and different meats. Meals $1.25 - $3.5.
A lack of Irish pubs, trendy wine bars, coffee house, tea rooms and laudanum dens means that tins in the market, cafes or restaurants are one's most commonly encountered forms of drink. A tin of beer or soda is usually $0.50.
Golden Crown Guesthouse ($6 - $12), is considered the only decent guesthouse in town, and can be found to the east of the central shared taxi stand, where most buses drop passengers. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout.
On the shared taxi stand's south side is a row of cheap, basic guesthouses with box rooms ($2.50).

Joe Satriani Talks About How G3 Shows Get Competitive
G3 tour founder and headliner Joe Satriani says one of the reasons he and his collaborators have so much fun on the tour is because of how much they push one another every night.
The U.S. leg of the tour features Dream Theater's John Petrucci and Def Leppard's Phil Collen also on the bill.
Satch acknowledges that each night's closing jams featuring all three guitarists do get competitive, but he says that spirit manifests in a positive way.
"Well, the thing with G3 is that everybody gets to do their thing with their band in front of the audience before the jam starts," Satriani tells Q104.3's "Out of the Box" with Jonathan Clarke. "So we kind of exorcise all those gunslinger demons. And then by the time we get onstage, everyone's so relaxed and we're ready to do something new that we didn't do last night or the night before."
The environment on the tour is extremely positive, Petrucci adds, describing it as a "traveling community of musicians who just are having such a great time, sharing stories, musical experiences."
The traveling circus environment of the whole thing seems to bring the best out of everyone.
"We go out there, I think, with the express desire to see how we can push each other to some new place," Satriani says. "We're looking at each other, we're elbow to elbow and after the show we talk about it for a half hour."
Satch says everyone looks forward to the conversations after the shows, where they can trade techniques or tricks they heard one of the other players use during the show.
"I think the main thing is I get inspiration off of these two," Collen said, indicating Satriani and Petrucci. "It's like crazy every night we're actually creating music on the fly."

Dolly's Law could ban cyber bullies from Facebook, Instagram use
THE death of Northern Territory girl Amy "Dolly" Everett earlier this year has triggered calls for a social media ban for cyber-bullies.
News the 14-year-old took her own life caused a national outpouring of grief and caused anti-bullying groups to join forces in lobbying governments to create change.
The groups, including the Carly Ryan Foundation, are calling for a law – Dolly's Law – to ban young people from social media, similar to a physical Apprehended Violence Order.
Following his daughter's death, Tick Everett said on Facebook that Dolly's life "will not be wasted" if it could stop the suffering of others.
And, it seems the wheels are in motion to bring change on an international issue.
Do you think that cyberbullies should be removed from social media in an AVO-like manner? #9Todaypic.twitter.com/CxfyBW1oSl— The Today Show (@TheTodayShow) February 2, 2018
Statistics from Beyond Blue, show the number of deaths by suicide in young Australians is the highest it has been in 10 years.
With the growing use of social media over the past decade, children have found bullying follows them, even when they leave the school grounds.
Dolly had been the young face of Akubra Hats and her death put the issue of bullying back on the national agenda.
Akubra posted this statement after her passing:
"To think that anyone could feel so overwhelmed and that this was their only option is unfathomable," they wrote.
"Bullying of any type is unacceptable. It is up to us to stand up when we see any kind of bullying behaviour.
"Our hearts go out to her family and friends."
In addition to a cyber ban, the Carly Foundation is calling for increased education on the issue. The foundation is a non-profit charity created to promote internet safety.

Volkswagen has just unveiled its latest retro concept the Bulli which represents a modern take on the iconic Kombi.
This isn't the first time VW has tried to reinvent the Kombi, back in 2001 another retro-inspired concept looked promising but management changes at VW killed the concept before it could be seriously considered for production.
Now, a decade on, VW is positioned very strongly and is trying out the concept again at this year's Geneva Motor Show. This time around it's called the Volkswagen Bulli, and like its 2001 predecessor, is designed to look and function like the brand's famous Kombi. This Geneva concept is powered by an 84kW electric motor drawing charge from a lithium-ion battery pack. When fully charged, the Bulli has a theoretical range of around 300km before needing recharging. When a top up is required, VW says the Bulli can be fully charged in less than an hour.
The Bulli's metal keeps true to the original Kombi layout and shape, which means a flat load floor and clever use of interior space. There are some modern tricks inside too with VW incorporating an Apple iPad which controls the stereo, navigation, bluetooth and air conditioning from its port on the console. The iPad directly communicates with a Fender USA-designed stereo system, which should pump out some serious beats.
Volkswagen hasn't released any details on when or if the Bulli will make it into production, but don't expect anything before 2014 at the earliest.

Archos has quietly introduced their latest Android tablet, the 97 Titanium. Part of their elements series, the 97 refers to the 9.7 inch display. Spec wise, the 97 Titanium is a pretty impressive piece of equipment.
The 9.7 inch IPS display has a resolution of 2048 x 1536 with a PPI of 264. That's iPad 4 territory right there. Underneath, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean runs over a dual-core 1.6GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, but only 8GB of on-board storage. It is expandable however via microSD card, and Archos claims 64GB cards are supported with no worries. Camera wise, there's a 5MP shooter on the rear, and a 2MP front facer.
Commendably, Archos is running what looks to be a straight up, vanilla version of Jelly Bean. Instead of the screen layout we see on the Nexus 10 though, Archos has gone for what we would traditionally think of from an Android tablet. The 97 Titanium isn't the plastic hell we might possibly expect either. The casing on the rear is constructed from Aluminum, and the thickness is kept down to just 9mm.
It isn't up for sale yet, nor do we know just when and where it will be, or how much it will cost. Archos has released a number of Android devices in the past, but rarely made a compelling case for purchase. This one could be a different story. For those looking for a stock experience, oodles of storage and a killer display, the 97 Titanium could meet some needs.

NCN supported tools need to be visible in "myHUB"
Chris Bowen, a member of our external advisory board is familiar with the nanoHUB and uses tools. He inters through the myhub page to select the tools he runs. I presented to the group the concept of supported tools and this was the first time he notice the concept. He wants to see the supported tools as he sees that as quality stamp of approval and a way to narrow down the tool list.
I would suggest 3 things: 1) in the list of "My Tools" – add another Tab of "Supported" in addition to Recent, Favorite, All the list of "supported" tools should be the subset of "All Tools" but should also allow the setting of favorite tools
2) each of the supported tools that are listed in recent, Favorita, All should have the gold star next to it 3) The my sessions module should also show the supported tool icon – maybe instead of the little square image if a tool is supported.
