The man dramatically arrested after allegedly holing himself up in the toilet of a Frankton petrol station has pleaded not guilty to a raft of charges.
Richard John Percival, 40, appeared in Invercargill District Court without legal representation this morning, and pleaded not guilty to 18 charges, relating to an alleged crime spree across the South Island which ended on Saturday when he was arrested in Frankton.
Judge Callaghan "strongly recommend" the man take some legal advice, to which he replied: "Thank you for your advice but I'd like to continue with my plea."
When Judge Callaghan asked Mr Percival "do you wish to address me?", he replied saying: "Not particularly. I'd just like to enter not guilty, trial by jury"
He was remanded in custody and is set to come before the court again on October 31.
Police said all charges were linked in a "continuous" spree.
Chase across South Island
The action began early on Saturday in Invercargill, when the 40-year-old alleged offender was disturbed breaking into a commercial premises in Invercargill and fled.
Police said he evaded officers, but they later learned he was near Winton, heading towards Queenstown on State Highway 6.
Police monitored his location but were not in pursuit of the vehicle for the entire distance.
They eventually slowed his escape with road spikes near the Kawarau bridge.
A bystander said he saw the car go "flying"along the bridge before doing a "big swerve" once it was spiked.
The wanted man's Honda sedan limped to the BP petrol station in Frankton Rd.
Garston man Jonathan Edmonds was in the petrol station's shop when his family ski trip took an unexpected twist, as the man sought by police attempted to make a getaway in his vehicle.
"I seen him running across between the pumps and [he] jumped in the passenger's side of my car, in the front. I saw him climbing across, and at that point I went running out of the BP and ... tried to pull him out, but he had the car going."
After a tussle, Mr Edmonds hauled the man out of his vehicle.
"So I turned the car off, got the keys out, managed to get the door open, pulled him out, and that's when he ... came out in front of the cops, then detoured into the BP, running in front of my kids.
"He yelled and threatened as he ran past my kids that he had a gun."
Mr Edmonds said his only thought upon seeing the wanted man attempt to steal his vehicle was: "What the hell are you doing in my car?
"So I just ran out there to drag him out.
"Didn't really think about it; just reacted."
The man locked himself inside the service station's toilet as armed police arrived.
A large number of people milled nearby, having been evacuated from nearby shops, as a helicopter hovered overhead.
A BP staff member said four staff members took cover in a "safe room" inside the service station.
Armed police and officers from the police negotiation team arrested the man about half an hour later.
The man was charged with three counts of unlawfully taking a motor vehicle, seven of burglary, three of theft, one of robbery, one of reckless driving, one of failing to stop when required, one of refusing officers' request for blood and one of attempting to unlawfully take a motor vehicle.
He will appear in the Invercargill District Court today.

Years later, Trevi Pershay revisited her community and saw that there were no dance programs in place to keep the troubled youth off the streets. With a big heart and a dream, Trevi implemented to programs to motivate youth and young adults. Trev has received countless awards from leaders of the community in regards to her passion to help and serve the community. Trevi Pershay ultimate goal is to showcase black theater on the road to inspire families who are in a struggle, dealing with complicated issues and violence in our communities.

What's this all about?
I got tired of not knowing where I was exactly in the world of Rubi-ka. Coordinates are so cumbersome and I wanted an easy way to get my bearings. After flying along all the zone edges and taking readings I was able to put together a map with accurate borders and points of interest. I have found it extremely helpful to date. I hope you do too.

frequently, disposing of, and the pain which is caused by the cold weather of the body, more than wear more clothes, when you find yourself bothered by the cold hard, move very much at home, and then perform a lot of physical work better wear more clothes to keep warm.
John Barban Reviews
The shower, and then loosen the body, helps the body get rid of, which may fall ill, Calluses, and pain due to cold weather, and the lack of exaggeration in the shower in winter is usually wrong, and should be moderation in the shower times, even resting muscles of the body.
Waking up early, taking a walk in the sunlight, and avoid staying up long hours in the cold weather, sparing human body stiff.

This backyard deck is a bit too much for us. It's a great concept designed by Thom Faulders and it's obvious a lot of work was put into designing and building it but we prefer a calmer atmosphere when relaxing in the yard as opposed to one that makes you dizzy.
The optical illusion is amazing and tree literally looks like it is going to be swallowed up.

- Your visitors probably already have jQuery from Google's CDN cached. This means jQuery will load nearly instantly.
- It's probably faster to load jQuery from Google's servers than your servers. They have faster servers and better networks. They also probably have a data center that's closer to your visitor.
- Browsers will download jQuery in parallel with your local scripts. Browsers usually limit concurrent downloads to 4-8 from the same domain.
- You get to save on bandwidth.
You may notice that this is pretty different from most other snippets you've seen. Here are the differences and the explanations for them:
add_action('init', function() {
if (is_admin()) {
global $wp_scripts;
if (isset($wp_scripts->registered['jquery']->ver)) {
$ver = $wp_scripts->registered['jquery']->ver;
} else {
$ver = '1.12.4';
wp_register_script('jquery', "//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/$ver/jquery.min.js", false, $ver);
1. Using the version from
If you update WordPress, the version of jQuery that it wants may change. If you hardcode the version, you have to change it when you update WordPress. My snippet automatically loads the version that WordPress wants. If
$wp_scripts instead of a hardcoded value
$wp_scripts doesn't contain the version for whatever reason (it should never happen), it defaults to 1.12.4. This is the jQuery version requested by the latest version of WordPress at the time of writing.
2. Not calling
Not all WordPress blogs use jQuery, aside from the admin section. My snippet merely replaces the URL to load jQuery from. If your blog needs jQuery, it will enqueue it itself.
3. Using a relative URLIf you use a non-secure URL (i.e.
http://) to load jQuery, it won't load if you access a secure version of your blog.
For reference, here is the snippet from WPBeginner, which is the top result on Google:
(retrieved on July 20th, 2016)
//Making jQuery Google API
function modify_jquery() {
if (!is_admin()) {
// comment out the next two lines to load the local copy of jQuery
wp_register_script('jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.1/jquery.min.js', false, '1.8.1');
add_action('init', 'modify_jquery');

Let us all now hail Alan Grayson of Florida.
He's the only Democrat to fight back against Republican lies on health care.
They say "socialized medicine." He says "Don't get sick!"
They say "death panels." He says "Die Quickly!"
Republicans claim Grayson's as guilty as Joe Wilson. No way! There's a big difference between calling the president "a liar" on the floor of the House – and simply telling the truth.
And Republicans want him to apologize? Forget it!
Did Republican Senator Tom Coburn apologize when he said Obama's health care plan "will absolutely end up killing more people than it saves?
Did Republican Congresswoman Ginny Brown apologize when she said Democrats had released a bill "which essentially said to America's seniors: Drop Dead?"
Hell, no. And Alan Grayson shouldn't apologize, either.
Let's face it. The only reason Republicans are so upset about Grayson's remarks is because he told the truth: Republicans don't want any health care reform. They don't care about the millions of Americans who have no health insurance, because they can't afford it.
Republicans have offered nothing on health care reform except the status quo: "Don't get sick."

1 In 5 Workers Job Hunting February 19th, 2007
With the New Year comes the hunt for a new job with 20 percent of the workforce, according to national survey.
"January is one of the busiest job search months of the year as workers put their New Year's resolutions into action," said Rosemary Haefner, vice president of Human Resources at CareerBuilder.com. "Job seekers may have more negotiating power as employers offer sweeter deals to fill productivity gaps and headcount quotas impacted by the Baby Boomers' exit from the work force."Of those exploring new employment, the reasons breakdown into four categories according to CareerBuilder's survey, "2007 Job Forecast":
In addition, CareerBuilder's study found that half of employers plan to increase salaries on initial offers to new employees.Key factors influencing employees' decision to look for new opportunities include:
For those corporations looking to lure away dissatisfied workers from other jobs, the study reported that respondents are looking at four primary criteria: Good career advancement opportunities, company stability in the market, good work culture, and flexible schedules.

Larry Bell and his evolution toward Installation Art
Hirshhorn Museum
tinted glass and brass
A brass cube on a transparent pedestal.
I like to think of my glass constructions as tapestries of reflected and transmitted light, says Larry Bell who has been interested throughout his artistic career to build surfaces that work both as windows and mirrors.
He started with Abstract Expressionist paintings, incorporating fragments of glass in his works. He passed then to the sculpture: cubes resting on glass pedestals (then using also more and more sophisticated materials). The cubes started to be incorporated inside the pedestals, mirroring each other and declaring a much larger virtual space.
The next logical step was the installation art: exploring the way his virtual spaces are mirroring with the environment.

Listening to Donovan songs uploading Zardoz screenshots, and reading Rousseau:
It is difficult for one to whom the state has been sold not to sell it in his turn, and recover from the weak the gold which the strong have extorted from him. Sooner or later, under such an administration everything becomes venal; and the peace which is then enjoyed under kings is worse than the disturbances of interregnums.
... [T]he greatest good of all, which ought to be the goal of every system of law, ... comes down to two main objects: freedom and equality: freedom because any individual dependence means that much strength withdrawn from the body or the state, and equally because freedom cannot survive without it. I have already explained what civil freedom is; as for equality, this word must not be taken to imply that degrees of power and wealth should be absolutely the same for all ... no citizen shall be rich enough to buy another and none so poor as to be forced to sell himself ...
To renounce freedom is to renounce one's humanity, one's rights as a man and equally one's duties. There is no quid pro quo for one who renounces everything ... if you take away all freedom of the will, you strip a man's actions of all moral significance.

When It Comes to Robots, We're Brainless
- When It Comes to Robots, We're Brainless
- A Real Expert
The Chicken Little thinking of some folks, and even scientists, that pits humans against robots in some sort of nightmarish struggle for global control has to stop. Making matters worse is the fact that we now have a bunch of learned computer scientists discussing the risks of artificial intelligence run amok. I have to tell you, at this point, I'm more worried about the lack of intelligence run amok.
According to a story by New York Times tech writer John Markoff, scientists recently gathered at the Asilomar Conference Grounds on Monterey Bay for a conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI). If I'm reading this piece correctly, the whole event revolved around discussing robotic intelligence doomsday scenarios: What if robots learned to fake our voices? What if self-replicating malware and viruses take over all of our computers? Is a robot doctor that fakes empathy dangerous? (Since I think most of my real doctors have faked empathy, I'd have to say no to this last one.)
Markoff notes that the AI event organizers (the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence) chose the Monterey Bay, CA location specifically because of another conference that was held there over 30 years ago. Back then the assembled talked about, among other things, genetically mutated fruits and vegetables. Thank goodness they did. After the confab, we all came to our senses and stopped eating really red delicious apples, perfectly yellow bananas, and super-sized tomatoes. Actually, we didn't. I mean, I guess the 1975 conference was a wakeup call of sorts. If it hadn't happened, deranged cantaloupes might be roaming the countryside today, looking for fresh lamb or small children to eat.
Okay, I'm exaggerating. The 1975 conference only tangentially dealt with genetically-engineered produce. More broadly, it was about the potential hazards inherent in genetic engineering. Markoff notes that the conference actually helped further scientific study. So, it was a course correction of sorts for DNA research. I wish I could say I thought the outcome of this AI confab would be as positive.
What worries me is that so many people think we need a similar sort of correction for robotics development: If we don't control AI, it will control us. Most roboticists I've talked to tell me that sentient beings are at least 50 years or more away. The "singularity" everyone fears (where robot intelligence outstrips human intelligence and we lose control of the world) is not something we'll see this centuryor ever, for that matter. I'm confident that there won't be any Terminators, maid- or sex-bots, or any robots that actually understand or can use human-like emotions in our lifetime.
Humanoid and anthropomorphic robots are not the only ones everyone, including the researches at the AAAI conference, are worried about. As the article notes, robotics and AI are already everywhere. You'll find the technology in our homes, cars, industry, and even in war. The computer scientists (indeed, some very smart people) at this AI conference seem to worry that, at any moment, our anti-lock brakes could decide to lock up and try and kill us, or that an iRobot Roomba robot vacuum could, in a moment of pique, suck up the cat instead of simply eating the cat hair the feline left all over the rug.
An even bigger, perhaps more sinister, threat was also discussed at the conference: Malware and viruses can turn our computers into bots, or as Markoff terms them, "worms and viruses that defy extermination." He's talking about polymorphic viruses, which can change at willsort of. They actually can only change on a sort of random basis. So, the malware is programmed to change to avoid detection, but it's not actively evading a specific kind of detection. The two actions are unrelated. We try and detect in one way and the malware changes in a way our software's not programmed to detectyet. The virus and malware would change whether or not we were trying to detect it. That's not artificial intelligence; it's just smart programming. next: A Real Expert >

The last few days I have had various conversations with people who love to create images of food, their kids and other subjects that are important to them. What has struck me about all of these conversations is that each time, at some point in the conversation, everyone has said to me something like "I love taking pictures, but I am not a photographer".
This got me thinking about what makes someone a photographer. In my opinion if someone loves creating images and living a visual life, then they are a photographer. Now they may not make money from their images, have the best equipment or even be that great of a photographer but who cares! If they love exploring the world visually and creating images of things they love than I say they are a photographer!
The reality is that no matter where any of us are in photographic journeys, we all need to be learning more about craft and sharpening our vision and style. I have been a photographer for over 15 years and I feel like I am constantly learning more about my craft and how to create images and stories that not only move me but also resonate with others.
So as David Duchemin has mentioned in past rants let's forget the labels of "Professional or "Amateur" and just focus on growing as photographers who do it because we love it.

Yes, the major labels have been consistently ruled by people who have their fingers in their ears when it comes to the notion of change, and most of their digital initiatives up to this point have been failures; but simply tossing a "U SUCK" bomb in their direction when music startups-and, as some as the commenters on Malik's post correctly posit, the clueless venture capitalists who think that "disruptive" equals "moneymaking" - are just as guilty of wearing huge, honking blinders is not really the way to go when it comes to critiquing the digital-music sector as a whole.

Play DateTuesday, September 29, 2015
One of the best parts of living in Tampa is how easy we can head downtown and see a broadway show at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts. Date night ideas get a little easier and it gives us the perfect reason to dress up. Last week, the hubby and I went to see Once The Musical and it has now become one of our favorite shows to date. Although I must say, Beauty and the Beast still has a very special place in my heart ;)
When it comes to my style, I love a classic look with an effortless feel and this look was no exception. I was inspired by the vintage floral print on this flutter skirt from J.Crew - a piece I had been eyeing for quite some time. You can wear this skirt in so many ways, but I wanted a playful look for the show and thought this striped tank paired perfectly.
Mixing patterns can be intimidating, but I promise you it doesn't have to be! For the foolproof way, keep it simple and match colors in both prints like I've done here. Although this look is a bit bolder, it doesn't come off loud or aggressive; you can pull off a classic and understated look, while still having it visually interesting.
And because it can get a bit chilly with all the central air conditioning running in Florida, I brought along a cover up. This added warmth and a sophisticated flair to the outfit.
Hopefully this inspires you to start mixing patterns into your everyday style! And maybe even see a broadway show. I've always loved musicals and 'Once' was such a treat to see. Great music with an unexpected love story that will make you feel ALL the feels. And if you're in the Tampa Bay area, the Straz Center offers a special discount for those with their military ID :)
What are some of your favorite ways to mix up a classic look?

This month next year a decision will be made on who will host the 2023 Rugby World Cup. The bookies were saying yesterday that Ireland is the 2/5 favourite to be awarded the honour, but there is many a slip twixt world cup and the lip and there cannot be any element of complacency regarding a potential bid.
It was good news for the west this week that Pearse Stadium and McHale Park are among 12 stadia around the country that may be used in a successful bid. Pearse Stadium last hosted a game of international stature in 2007 when it was the home to the Compromise Rules game on a weekend that became more famous for the Brendan Fevola incident than for anything that took place on the pitch.
McHale Park has hosted many night-time televised league games over the last while and even the Mayo County Final was played under lights there a few weeks back.
So both stadia are flexible and can be amended to suit the requirements of what games may come their way.
The 12 chosen stadia will be whittled down to eight once a decision has been taken on the awarding of the World Cup and that will happen before Christmas next year. There seems little doubt that if Ireland is chosen, at least one stadium in the west will hold games.
Much has been made of the capacity of each of the stadia to accommodate tens of thousands of fans who will flock to the various regions to follow their teams. Some fine GAA stadia like Semple Stadium have been left out because of the distance from a fine supply of accommodation. The organisers of this World Cup do not want to be ferrying fans out to places where they cannot be fed and watered. It is ideal if these are places that have ready-made capacity for large crowds.
So in many regards, Galway has a strong advantage going into this process. And Mayo too has a good case.
There is no doubt that historical and cultural matters will influence the allocation of each team to whatever region they are sent, and in this regard, there is already speculation that Argentina may be based in the west, given the historical Mayo connections with the foundation of their country.
Hosting the Rugby World Cup will be the biggest sporting task ever afforded the governments of both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. It will require great co-operation and planning and will be hopefully devoid of many of the great security concerns that seem to be to the forefront of whatever international sporting event is held worldwide lately.
Galway has just emerged from a period of campaigning to win the Capital of Culture title, but soon that will be upon us. And soon it might be behind us. Galway and the west has to campaign strongly for its inclusion in this great event. It is a chance to showcase a game in our region — a region that has brought to much to the game in the last year.
It will also create employment and give the country a fillip it might need to see us recover fully from the events of the last 10 years. We have to get on the shortlist. The canvassing should start now.

An increase in U.S. corporate debt origination, coupled with a spike in debt capital market offerings in the growing economies of India, Mexico, Russia and Brazil, helped global debt origination volumes for Q3 2017 cross the $2 trillion mark for only the second time in history (after Q3 2016). This marks a steady improvement from a figure of below $1.5 trillion for Q4 2016. However, the five largest U.S. investment banks couldn't make the most of this rapid growth, as their combined deal size fell from $520 billion in Q1 2017, and $498 billion in Q2, to $478 billion in Q3.
Debt origination volumes for individual banks were taken from Thomson Reuters' investment banking league tables for the last five quarters. The table below captures the respective market shares for each of these banks over this period. The green-to-yellow shading for figures in a quarter should help compare the relative standings of these 5 banking giants in a particular quarter.
- JPMorgan Is Expected To Rope In $100 Billion In Total Securities Trading Revenues Over The Next Five Years
- FICC Trading Portfolio For Largest U.S. Investment Banks Have Grown 50% In 3 Years, And There's More To Come
- The Combined Equity Trading Portfolio of The Five Largest U.S. Investment Banks Could Reach $540 Billion In Five Years
- JPMorgan's Record Q1 Results Demonstrate Strength Of Its Business Model
- Why JPMorgan's Shares Look Undervalued Despite Lackluster Q4 Performance
- Morgan Stanley's Equity Underwriting Fees Fell 24% Sequentially Despite Its Higher Market Share
It should be noted that the largest debt capital market deals employ more than one investment bank, so the market share figures are not exclusive.
Although there was a noticeable recovery in U.S. debt origination activity, growth in developing nations has out-paced that in the U.S. over recent quarters. This has resulted in a reduction in market share for the largest U.S. banks from almost 30% in the first quarter to 23% now, as their operations are primarily focused on the U.S. and Europe. This is evident in particular from the fact that JPMorgan lost its #1 position for two consecutive periods to Citigroup for the first time in several years, as the latter's more geographically diversified business model helped it garner a stronger share of the international debt market.
The chart below captures JPMorgan's share of the global debt origination market. You can see how changes to this metric affects our price estimate for the banking giant by modifying our forecast here.

BackgroundThe Raspbery Pi 1 B board is fully capable of adding sound to your next project.
I have several Raspberry Pi 1 boards lying around not doing much since they were replaced by Raspberry Pi 2 boards.
I have decided to use them as general purpose sound generation boards in my projects.
I initially thought of playing back MP3 files over a speaker in response to serial commands.

Harry Potter and the Vancouver Community
Vancouver shares some important and surprising connections with the Harry Potter series: did you know that Kidsbooks in Vancouver was the first bookstore in all of Canada to carry Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone? Also, Raincoast Books in Vancouver was the first Canadian book publisher to publish editions of the Harry Potter series until 2010.
UBC Library is collecting the Harry Potter books to ensure that scarce first or special editions of these works can be properly cared for and made accessible to the community for generations to come, while sharing the story of the impact that the series had on the people, the business, and the cultural landscape of Vancouver. That's why Rare Books and Special Collections is working to acquire complete sets of the U.S., U.K., and Canadian first editions of the Harry Potter series.

text: Andryushka.353 Name: Andryushka.353 Info: Details Andryushka.3536 These are very dangerous memory-resident polymorphic viruses. They affect COM- and EXE-files (excluding COMMAND.COM) whenever an infected file is started (search in directories). "Andryushka" also infect files from its TSR-copy (when the files are opened, run, renamed and so on). After getting infection from virus "Andryushka.3536" EXE-files are changed to COM-format (see the "VACSINA" viruses). The virus penetrates into the middle of a file. The part of the infected file where the virus has been written to is encrypted and placed at the end of the infected file. The virus creates counters in the Boot-sectors of disks and depending on the counters values may corrupt some sectors on the disk C:. On doing this the virus plays a tune and displays the following text: +———————–+ ƒ Hello!!! ƒ ƒ My name is Andryushka ƒ ƒ I come from Perm,USSR ƒ +———————–+ The virus also contains the text: "insufficient memory". "Andryushka" works with interrupt handlers fairly well: it saves a part of the INT 25h handler in its own body and writes its code (call to INT 21h) into the emptied place. When INT 25h is called its handler is restored.

Vegas baby Vegas!!!
I just want to start out by saying..I called this whole Vegas gig years ago. However, I'm not searching in the 300+ posts to find it. I know I'm right and that's all that matters. Taylor Hicks in Vegas. I'm not sure that there is a better fitting place for Mr Hicks than Vegas. After all, Vegas is the birthplace of performers, not just singers. And Hicks is definitely a performer if nothing else. After all, the purple jacket will fit right in!!
Okay, who's roadtripping?
And this…this introduction of Kris Allen..Simon actually let Taylor speak a couple of words!
11 Responses to "Vegas baby Vegas!!!"
I totally agree with you IAG. I think it's great that he got this gig and is perhaps the best thing that has happend to him since the AI win.
Great way to market new music and gain more fans. This is indeed a win-win situation.
Busy having house built this summer so no road trip for me. Have loads of fun if you get that chance. 🙂
Hey it's me Rosie. CF alerted me u were back. I agree it is great Taylor got the Vegas gig. Judging from a tweet his CD is just about done and he is shopping for a major label. I may fly to Vegas as I've never been.
I will definitely be of to Vegas to see Mr Hicks…so much good music and a great bunch of ladies…lots of fun
Looks like T will be on a new dating show. I think it's cool and good PR for his upcoming cd and his Vegas gig. Once again-effective marketing skills at it's best!
I saw these guys at the Davis Music Fest. They are Oakland based, but it felt like New Orleans. Check them out!
Taylor is having a great run at Bally's and has been extended
@anne-Never expected anything less. He is in his element.
He really is in his element and and it is so well deserved
Hello dark grey blog! Saw Taylor for the first time in forever on Idol finale tonite. Thought about old times.

2005 BMW 3-Series 325i
In the second BMW recall this week, the automaker is now recalling certain model year 2002-2005 325i, 325xi, 330i and 330xi vehicles over potential malfunction of the rear lights.
A notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) site lists the number of potential affected units at 241,000. Affected vehicles were manufactured from September 1, 2001 through March 1, 2005.
The NHTSA notice says that, "over time, resistance in the electrical contacts may cause one or more rear lamp functions (tail light, brake light, and/or turn signal)" to stop working.
While the condition may not seem all that major, it is concerning enough that the recall is warranted. Here's why. If the affected vehicle's rear lights are not working properly, or only working intermittently, it reduces the driver's ability to warn others on the road about his or her intentions. "This could cause a vehicle crash without warning," notes the NHTSA notice.
BMW will notify owners of the affected vehicles and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during October 2011. Coincidentally, this is the same time frame the 2009 BMW X5 safety recall is expected to begin.
In the meantime, owners of model years 2002-2005 BMW 3-Series vehicles with questions or concerns may contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417.
Alternatively, owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or go to http://www.safercar.gov. Refer to the NHTSA Campaign ID No.11V438000.

ETC-Euler Taxonomic Concept Alignment Demonstration Video – Minyomerus 2015 versus Minyomerus 1982
This 8-minute screenshot video, produced in late April, 2015, demonstrates the interaction of the Exploring Taxonomic Concepts (ETC) and Euler/X software tools.
The ETC team has built a highly useful and effective front-end web service to the Euler/X reasoning services, allowing users to import two concept taxonomies through an on-line file management system, provide articulations, run input visualizations, obtain logically consistent alignments, and extract these products from the web interface to the desktop. The underlying ideas and methods are explained in Franz et al. (2015).
The capabilities of the user interface are illustrated with the Minyomerus use case, aligning two classifications authored in 2015 and 1982, respectively.

June. June know it's my favourite time of year? It's raining today but at least it's mild and light for about 18 hours a day.
I had a good night out on Monday - I met my Clydebuilt mentor, Liz Lochhead in Tinderbox, where she urged me to have the courage to aim for 'emotional plain speak' and not get tangled up in my own metaphors. What, like a trout riding a skateboard, skim-reading Poetry for Beginners?
It's good advice though. Aim for truth and the metaphor might be lurking around the corner. After our chat, I rushed down to the GUU to see my old pals, Belle and Sebastian do a wee belter of a gig.
It's always great to feel the love for them in the room. I felt like a student again and I always get glassy-eyed at Nobody's Empire.
As if that wasn't enough, I have booked a solo trip to London next week to see them in the Albert Hall (ooh, Missus). This doesn't sound like my life at all. These are my garden flowers though:
And this is my salt and pepper hair, after a year of saying 'beat it' to the hassle and expense of hair dye. Call me crazy. Call me a silver sister. Mind you, I still like to frequent the sun hat.
Lastly - There was a charity collection at school this week. Tess asked if she could bring in 'a Dalmatian'. Thank goodness it wasn't 101.

At the moment I'm reading Charles Bridges' classic work on The Christian Ministry published by Banner of Truth. Written in the middle of the Nineteenth Century by an Anglican minister, it is full of practical and devotional help, and has been proving a rich source of encouragement for me.
While some of the cultural references and ilustrations are a little dated, one of the beauties of this book is its detachment from current trends in evangelicalism. There is no mention here of 'envisioning', 'paradigm shifts' or 'postmodernism' – all pieces of jargon which are often exhausted in contemporary 'ministry' books – but rather a straightforward presentation of the work of a servant of God, and the pressures which it brings.
One of Bridges' most endearing features as a writer is his blend of realism and aspiration. In one section on the discouraging influence of seeming ineffectiveness in the ministry he writes:
'We must…remember that present success is not always visible. Appearance must not be the measure of the real result. There is often an undercurrent of piety, which cannot be brought to the surface. There may be solid work advancing underground, without any sensible excitement; as we observe the seed that produces the heaviest grain, lies longest in the soil. We are not always the best judges of the results of our ministry.'
Sometimes (most of the time?) I need to hear things like that. Pastoral ministry very seldom privileges us with a sense of completion, closure, or even usefulness. Things are always in process, and results are not always tangible. But God is working, in His way, and at His pace. Perhaps other Christian workers need to hear this too. I think discouragement is universal among us, but 'under all our trials we must be careful that no present apparent failure weaken our assurance of the ultimate success of faithful and diligent perseverance'.

Member of the Month for April 2012/
Kelly Sile is the new Wheelmen "mapmaker" who is updating some of our older maps to add roads and doing maps for our new routes such as New Berlin. She joined the Wheelmen in 2009 and has been an instructor for Road Riding 101 and 201 and also helped with stay-together rides. Kelly is also very active with Team in Training where she raises money to find a cure for blood cancer.
If you have seen Kelly on a ride you will have noticed her beautiful 2011 Trek Madone with Sram red components (see the photo above). She ordered the frame and had the bike built with components she selected. When the weather is not great she rides her 2009 Trek WSD 2.3 to keep the new bike clean! While she has the road bike she wants, she would also like to have a Kona Mina mountain bike.
Kelly started riding mountain bikes over 25 years ago and has been riding road bikes for about 20 years. She has done six century rides: El Tour de Tucson (twice – 109 miles), Armadillo Hill Country Classic in Liberty Hill (twice), the Outlaw Trail in Round Rock, and the Honolulu Century. She will do her 7th century this June at Lake Tahoe. She has also done the local Tour de Cure and Fiesta Wildflower rides several times and the Conquer the Coast ride in Corpus Christi. She plans to do the Alamo Ride to the River in October 2012. She also did the cycling legs for two Triathlon's: the Wurst Tri Ever in New Braunfels (no one else wanted to ride Hueco Springs loop!) and the Capital of Texas Triathlon. She used both events as a time trial! In her spare time Kelly leads training rides for Team in Training. Other Team in Training members call Kelly the Mountain Goat because she loves riding hills. When given a choice, she would rather ride hills than flat routes.
Here is Kelly's description of her favorite ride. "My favorite ride was the 2011 Honolulu Century. It was the most beautiful route I have ever done. The scenery was breath taking and you can't beat pineapple at the SAG stops and Coconut shave ice after the ride!"
Kelly's father was in the Air force, so she went to elementary school in England and then came to San Antonio in 1977 and has lived here ever since. She works for an engineering company that does electrical studies for West Texas oil companies. In addition to cycling her favorite outdoor activities include fishing, hiking and photography.
The next time you see Kelly on a ride say hello, get a good look at her bike, and thank her for the new and improved route maps.

A speech by Barack Obama adopting the mantle of working-class champion and branding the Republicans as the party of the rich has been welcomed by the left and denounced by conservatives.
On Tuesday night, the president set out what is likely to be one of the major themes of the 2012 campaign: growing inequality in the US. He was speaking in Osawatomie, Kansas, the same town from which Theodore Roosevelt called for a square deal for the American people a century ago.
"This is the defining issue of our time," said Obama. "This is a make-or-break moment."
With the election only 11 months away, his approval ratings are dangerously low and he is spending increasing amounts of time each week on the campaign trail. A Gallup poll published on Wednesday gave him an approval rating of 41%.
But in Tuesday night's speech, Obama portrayed the Republicans as the party of narrow self-interest, with no consideration for working-class Americans. "Their philosophy is simple: we are better off when everyone is left to fend for themselves and play by their own rules. Well, I'm here to say they are wrong," he said.
Roosevelt, who left the Republicans to stand for the presidency in 1912 under the banner of the Progressive party, nicknamed the Bull Moose party, advocated a reform programme of increased welfare, votes for women and changes in the banking systemreforms.
Obama, as well as attempting to draw a distinction between himself and the Republicans, used his speech to try to rekindle the enthusiasm he generated among Democrats in the 2008 election, as many on the left say they are disillusioned with his presidency.
As well as railing against the Republican party, he also turned on Wall Street, a nod towards the Occupy Wall Street protests which he has so far kept at a distance.
Robert Reich, the economist who served in the Clinton administration, hailed it as the most important economic speech given by Obama since becoming president.
"Here, finally, is the Barack Obama many of us thought we had elected in 2008. Since then we've had a president who has only reluctantly stood up to the moneyed interests Teddy Roosevelt and his cousin Franklin stood up to," Reich wrote on the Huffington Post website. "Hopefully Obama will carry this message through 2012, and gain a mandate to use his second term to take on the growing inequities and game-rigging practices that have been undermining the American economy and American democracy for years."
But Republicans slammed the speech. Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, referring to the Bull Moose party, told Fox News: "One of those words applies here when the president is talking about what he'd do to this economy."
Another challenger for the Republican presidential nomination, Newt Gingrich, said Obama's economic policies would result in more people on welfare than in jobs and would make him "the finest food stamp president in American history".
Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, accused Obama of "cheap political theatre".
Although Obama was setting out one of the big themes for next year's election, his speech was also aimed at Republicans in Congress who are at present refusing to extend tax cuts aimed mainly at working-class families. The deadline for agreement is the end of this month.

Ironman 70.3 European Championships - Race Report and Confessions of Lisa Hutthaler.
I always start these race reports with the best of intentions.
Keep it short and sweet but informative so others can learn from my mistakes and also from my victories. Unfortunately I get carried away in the moment, but I still hope one can learn from my blogs and reports. I am always happy to answer questions, and help where I can.
Read on for more on Confessions of a Doper in reference to Lisa Hutthaler.
This race was one of the highlights of my racing season and it did not disappoint.
In the lead up to the race I had 9 days in Morzine, France after the Alpe D'Huez Triathlon staying with some Loughborough Triathlon guys (thanks Gav Smith).
Morzine is a fantastic training base and many of you who follow me will know one of my favorite pastimes is climbing mountains. Yes it makes you strong, but I find it a semi-spiritual experience climbing steep mountains - endorphintastic :)
Heading into the race, I was feeling strong in all three disciplines swim, bike and run. I had a niggling potential injury on the run, so we capped mileage and managed it with self massage and topical anti-inflammatories.
I noticed new changes in my body composition - a new vein would pop up, or a muscle appeared more defined. Feeling strong is confidence building, and I attribute this to a number of things which i have done differently this year.
* New coach - less volume, more quality/technical work.
* Heightened awareness of nutrition - increased fat intake and other supplementation, especially Nordic Oil which I am convinced helps me recover (and also makes my skin glow!)
* Less stressing about what everyone else is doing. What works for one, does not necessarily work for another. Being introduced to the Pro triathlon world by Brett Sutton, I always hark back to traditional Sutto sessions for confidence. The 20 x 800m on the track for example and hard pool sets. But its the mix of sessions, & recovery that allow adaptation and growth, not the sessions themselves.
The Race
I was pretty nervous headed into this race, more than any other race this year. But one glance at the start list and you could probably empathise. I have always wanted to be competitive as a professional athlete.
Finishing 6,7,8,9,10th doesn't interest me. It frankly embarrasses me. I don't advocate this way of thinking. Its me and my somewhat unhealthy perfectionism - i'm competitive - I want to be the best. But the truth is, if you are racing a world-class field and are relatively new to the sport, you have to suck up some of the lower placings in order to progress up the ladder - I have learnt that being the best I can be on the day is good enough.
Nerves = No sleep, brain going over every potential mishap on race-day. Looking at the clock every hour and then when 4.45am hits - i'm already up and hit the pre-race routine.
Drive to race start - long walk from the car park - but i thought ahead and borrowed my boyfriends bike to cycle down, warming the legs up with no impact minus added walk time. I saw eventual winner and former Olympian Daniella Rhyff walking down, carrying a turbo/wind trainer - that is dedication to preparation (15-20 min walk & it aint light).
Then in T1 I take the cover off my bike to notice one of my front Di2 shifters is hanging off. It had been lose pre race (post crash in Italy) but mechanics advised it was woking fine and would be ok taped on. Perhaps someone had moved my bike & it had snapped off - still, despite hanging there, it was working so we re-taped and good to go.
Swim start - putting on wetsuit, noticed a hole in the shoulder, small but not insignificant.
Swim warm up - said hole got bigger - water started running in and sloshing through the wetsuit. I've had this feeling before when someone intentionally unzipped my wetsuit in a race last year. Panic gets you no-where, so i managed any feelings of impending doom (& the why does this always happen to me - largely because I know the answer ;) and swam to the shore & asked the organiser for duck tape. Duck Tape didn't stick & we were now 2 minutes before race start... so I started to tear at the arm, thinking i'd be better off without it.. finished the job with some pliers from the race organisers. It wasn't pretty, but it saved my swim.
We had a female only pro start with female age-groupers starting behind, & then descending male age-groupers.
This makes for a fair race as it means we're out there on the bike on our own, no draft effect from the faster AGers.
It also means the swim-start is far less aggressive. You can actually swim as opposed to playing a game of slam-dunk which mass starts seem to bring.
I went out hard, and the field split quickly. I was with a couple of girls, but saw feet disappearing ahead of me, & thought just go and try and hang on. Usually at this point, i dont have the change in speed & the feet drift further away, but i've been working on this - so i picked up my turnover and arm pull, hip drive and soon was back on feet and who-ever was swimming on my feet was gone. Good move - now I just had to stay there. The pace felt slightly uncomfortable. We weren't in a pack - just single feet & i could feel if I drifted back off the feet the effort felt harder, so i played a tactical game & stayed as close to the feet as possible, emphasising the back end tricep push of my stroke to get momentum from the cleaner water (water on the feet directly is disrupted, hence harder to catch and propel).
Part way through the course there is an 'australian exit' where you run on the beach for 25m and then dive back in. I could hear the announcers and see for the first time whose feet I was on - a Japanese ITU athlete, with Daniella Rhyff (also ITU) just ahead.
This surprised me and gave me confidence - just hang in there - the pace was around threshold but it felt sustainable so I just stuck in there to the exit. The armless wetsuit attracted a few stares on exit but hey - it worked!
The bike course here is challenging - in terms of hills, corners, descents etc.
I had been 'instructed' by coach to keep a ceiling on my power. This is the second race this year I have ridden with power, thanks to my Rotor Power Cranks and Tom (coach) thought I had overcooked the bike in Italy 70.3 & I paid the price on the run (I wasn't so sure about this because I knew how beaten up from the pre-race crash my run legs were).
So I kept within myself & soon had caught up to Anja Dittmer (2 time Olympian) and was out on the road on my own.
This is when the mantra - dont try anything for the first time in the race came back to bite me. I had run out of my PowerBar gels pre-race and so bought some from the Expo on the recommendation of a friend. Lemon-Lime GU.. I usually like the PowerBar gels of the same flavour so I thought, how different can they be. I empty 5 gels into a bottle & dilute with water - then have 1 caffeinated gel 30mins before end of bike.
First sip and all I could taste was TEQUILA! I detest tequila! Very quickly nausea became overwhelming & regurgitated some stomach contents over my shoulder.
Most my nutrition was in this bottle so i had to make the decision whether to rely on aid stations or try to get the gels down. So I changed my mindset - instead of tasting tequila I thought about what I associate with tequila - partying and FUN! So with each sip, put myself into a party vibe so as to detract from the taste. It worked!
So sipping, partying and thinking when would the power-horse Lisa Hutthaler (Winner of FOUR 70.3 events this year) catch me.. About 30k in she came past me like a train (she has caught me at 10k in Mallorca so I thought - progress!).. really strong... but then she didnt seem to pull ahead, so I kept her in my sights, catching up to her on the climbs and her pulling away on the descents.
On one of the longer climbs, I caught and was passing her - when she said.
"I am sorry for my past"...
(Lisa was convicted for EPO, HGH, Steroid misuse/bribery & served a 2year ban)
I looked over at her and then..
"Its 5 years ago - I have a daughter now, it changes things"
Yes Lisa, I can understand it does - but why now are you choosing to say this to me after keeping quite at all other races this year and last?
I said a few words which I cant remember (I was riding up a hill at 250Watts) and that we would talk further after the race and rode on and she kept within legal distance of me for a further 10k before pulling up to ask me how far ahead the other girls were after hearing a supporter shout to me.
Turns out Daniella Rhyf and Annabelle Luxford (Ironman 70.3 Asia-Pacific Champ/ITU athlete and Olympian) were putting time into us - nearly 2 minutes.
Annabel told me post race that she was riding out alone and Rhyf caught her towards the end of the bike. Hats off to her for pushing the pace.
This surprised me as Lisa has been so dominant on the bike this season, i thought if I am riding ahead of her, surely I must be doing ok - but the bike caliber of Rhyf and Luxford is top class and I judged wrong. At this time I pulled ahead of Lisa, up one of the last climbs... but there was a piece of sticky plastic stuck to my front wheel which was rubbing against the frame - I took the decision to ride to the top of the climb (perhaps 4k) and take it off there so as not to break my rhythm.
I looked behind me when I stopped and I could see another two riders in the distance, but couldn't work out whether it was Lisa or another athlete/male pro. It turns out it was Cat Morrison.
Down the crazy fast descent to T2 - I reached 70kmph (a few gulp moments) The male pros were doing 100kmph!
On to the run in 3rd place perhaps 3 minutes behind 2nd and my first thoughts were - where is Cat? Being alone for the last 30k of the bike, I really didn't know how far fast runners like Cat were behind, but soon I would see, and then I thought, Game over! Cat is one of the best runners in the sport and the most tenacious. Despite coming back from a severe achilles injury she can still run a sub 1.20 half marathon.. whereas my best is 1.23. I have been running well in training but belief wasn't there - I did the sums, and instead of fighting for it on this day I patted her on the back as she came past and let her go. Could I have hung on, probably not - but I should have at least tried. I will do next time! Then I got word that Lisa Hutthaler behind me was fading and I ran within myself all the way to the finish for 4th place in a stacked field.
The crowds were fantastic and the run course really interesting, being 4 laps and full of twists and turns - yes it got busy on the last two laps, but thats the price you pay for 'interesting'.
A solid race - consistent in all three disciplines and a big step up from my race performances last year.
Mixing it with the big guns now as coach says.
Confidence is coming to race these girls and to fight back - seeing is believing as former coach Brett Sutton would tell me.
It makes a huge difference being at the pointy end of the race in the swim (thanks to @CoachDaz and BIG THANKS to Tom @t2coaching who put up with me!) as the race dynamic changes.
I held back on the bike and put a ceiling on max watts - but I had been posted new power figures in training, so in retrospect I should have dug a little deeper and used my climbing skills a bit more to our advantage.. but we live and learn and move forward to the next one.
The podium picture below shows - every one of the girls except me comes from an ITU/Short Course racing background. Two of them are Olympians. One is a multiple World Duathlon Champion. All are world class. Not bad company!
More pictures of the event here:
Huge Congratulations to Winner Ritchie Nicholls who is inspirational in his gutsy, no frills approach to racing. He is coach Brett Sutton's ideal athlete... no BS - race with heart and passion and eats MarsBar on the bike.
End Note:
Lisa and I spoke at the finish line and she approached some of the other girls too. Her apology seemed very genuine. She and her boyfriend Andrew Fuchs (read more about their controversy here) were both tearful. At the awards, Lisa showed me her recent anti-doping tests results and offered to email me them. I feel that this openness is definitely a step forwards, and I asked her to consider doing a media interview with FirstOffTheBIke.com or SlowTwitch. She was reluctant because she fears the continued crticism, but has agreed to speak with Herbert Krabel at SlowTwitch so we will her her side of the story further.

It can transport you back to a time 'once upon a time' in your life, that adult lit just can't really capture like YA.

five Of The Greatest Soccer Apps For IPhone And Android
You're unlikely to run into issues since.. Keep in mind that a lot of of these legal battles deal with a lot more than stats – for example, some of these situations also dealt with a company's proper to use a sports star's name or likeness. A last second full court basketball shot of hockey shot(minus empty objective conditions) is in the very same arena. The news element of the app provides straight forward access to recent news across an array of categories. There are so a lot of minority sports which barely attract any audience, and according to the rules, their lack of recognition ought not to have an effect on the monies allotted to their players for their education.
I grew up playing each football, basketball and other sports from six to 16. But more basketball untill my 20 age. The phone version of the app has a good interface sporting the classic colors of the print newspaper. A sports that requires much more than 1 player is a team sport and all group sport needs teamwork. Tap Sports Baseball is each, and it is just as very good when you have 30 seconds as when you have 2 hours to genuinely dig in. I took a sports med class and learned that soccer has a higher concussion rate.
I admit that I am biased as a person that likes sports management video games, but this game is a blast. LeBron James and Kyrie Irving did what they had to do Monday night and led the Cleveland Cavaliers to a win in Oakland. A new senior at Notre Dame Academy in Toledo is carrying out some thing to engender a enjoy of sports in unique needs youngsters in the region. With two of the very best basketball players in the world set to compete in the NBA Finals, the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Organization is celebrating their birthplace. They are not only speaking about the latest scores of their teams, but also discussing the most recent news of players and managers.
So if you've ever watched a basketball game and just had the sense that it was fairly monotonous, that it is essentially just the two teams operating the ball across the court and scoring in much more-or-significantly less alternation and then at the end of the day one particular of them did slightly worse and the other team wins, well, this information bears that out.
This app (of which I have the outstanding Yankee News companion app) is the greatest I have attempted to date and has earned a spot on my Apple Watch. Stefan Jankovic was hopeful he would hear his named known as Thursday evening at the NBA Draft in Brooklyn, New York. I do like most sports (as a spectator) but not with the zeal others have for some games. News Aggregators (also referred to as news readers) will download and display RSS feeds for you.
