Pinned topic Studio on Linux
Answered question This question has been answered.
Unanswered question This question has not been answered yet.
While I understand it's not supported, has anyone had any success running Studio on Linux?
I believe (and I could be wrong) the right approach is to install Studio on Windows, copy the installed directory from Program Files over to your Linux box, and run the org.eclipse.osgi_3.2.0.v20060601.jar file like:
java -jar org.eclipse.osgi_3.2.0.v20060601.jar
Unfortunately - for me at least - it throws a bunch of exceptions about not being able to find class files. I'm not too familiar with Java, so I don't know how to proceed.
Anyone tried to go down this route?

Re: Studio on Linux2010-04-12T19:49:03ZThis is the accepted answer. This is the accepted answer.
With the understanding that we do NOT support Studio(that's mean if you have an issue before contacting support please reproduce it on windows first) on Linux(or Mac) here is a shell script that will help you start studio on these platforms. Obviously, the path may need to be adjusted according to the path where the shell script gets invoked(As was pointed in the post you will need to copy the installed studio from windows to linux machine and drop the script - run_studio.sh to that location). There is only env variable that needs to be set prior to invoking the script and that's is JAVA_HOME. This should point to where java is installed on your system:
export LIB_HOME=lib
export DIST_HOME=.
for f in `find lib -type f \( -iname "*.jar" ! -iname " eclipse" \)`
export OSGI_FRAMEWORK_JAR=org.eclipse.osgi_3.2.0.v20060601.jar
export SET MAIN_CLASS=org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter
export SET SPLASH_SCREEN=studiosplash.png
export IH_LOGGING_PROPS="etc/resources/logging.properties"
export ENDORSED="-Djava.endorsed.dirs=endorsed-lib"
export KEYSTORE="-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=etc/security/certs"
export TRUSTSTORE="-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=etc/security/cacerts"
export LOGIN_CTX="-Djava.security.auth.login.config=etc/security/httpkerb.conf"

export JVM_DIRECTIVES="-Dapplication.mode.studio=true -Djava.util.logging.config.file=$IH_LOGGING_PROPS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Djgoodies.fontSizeHints=SMALL"
#cd $DIST_HOME

this Bulgarian life by Eric Wiley
this Bulgarian life by Eric Wiley
Goldie (February 7 2005)
I went to a drum n' bass show this past friday in Sofia. it was Goldie spinning all metalheadz dub-plates at a club called Spartacus: usually a gay venue and Bulgarians here often look at you funny when you say that you went there for a show. Different culture here, less sensitive to these things generally than where I am from. I wore ear-protection, the bass was deep, and I danced until 5:30 in the morning. Charles Lim (from LA) and Sara Pack (from New Hampshire) went with me and we went out to an all night place to eat after the show before all crashing at Sara's apartment. Charles is a drum n' bass fanatic, and it was Sara's first time. I am somewhere in-between, probably. We all loved it. I didn't stay too long in Sofia, returning on a Saturday afternoon train, starting a novel on the train - Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk. and the remainder of the weekend, Saturday night and Sunday, I spent in my apartment cooking and reading (finishing Lullaby and returning to my other reading). Now it's monday, the week feels like it will be quick. Next week is a retreat/meeting/training in the spa resort town of Bankya (near Sofia). Myself and the other 50-something volunteers from my group each with a Bulgarian counterpart will be attending. I am excited for it, mostly just to get away and do something different for a week, and of course to see some friends.
snowballs and masonry January 31 2005
The weekend in Sofia was fabulous. I saw friends who I have not seen for two months. Lots of talking, joking, catching up. Played in the snow, threw snowballs at advertisements - mostly of women in bikinis because it was the most funny and there were sooo many targets for it. Work at the Habitat site was fun, I built a brick wall for an air vent in the bathroom with another volunteer also named Eric. Not very efficient use of materials on this project, lots and lots of masonry, but probably it is difficult to get wood or metal framing and sheet-rock here - I need to ask about this. The support officer for Habitat for Humanity, Jeff Abbott, approached me with a thought for a project - to develop fast, cheap, expandable, beautiful, owner constructed dwelling units in collaboration with the Roma community. Brilliant, I told him. Am trying to get started on it this week. Research, making contacts, getting the municipality interested, conceptualizing. There was a lot of snow in Sofia, and it was colder than in Karlovo. I went to the foreign art museum. Some of it was closed, but I was excited to find some of '36 views of Mt. Fugi,' drawings by Diego Rivera, some abstract african figurines and masks, egyptian miniature painting. It's 2:00, and the remainder of this afternoon is for doing laundry in the kitchen sink, drinking wine, cooking, and doing some research on the internet from home.
a weekend and a week passed (January 28 2005)
Strange weather here this week. Cold, warm, cold, warm, cold. Rain, snow, sun and spring temperatures, and snow predicted again for the weekend. I was ill - well really only congested this week - never really felt sick. I have been waiting waiting waiting for the meeting to discuss the info/ad/lantern structures. Grew tired of waiting a few times and took off from work, once, for a lovely hike in the mountains to hum sad songs and explore from a height above Karlovo the familiar places below, and the space and things between them. I played chess with Alexander at his apartment on a smallish plastic/magnetic board with magnetic pieces, we drank strawberry juice canned by his family from the summer and ate white/brown chocolate. His apartment has lots of rooms, strange rooms, mostly empty. One of them he uses for dancing and there is a chandelier right in the middle where you would hit your head if you were not careful. I told him that it was a perfect space for practicing the waltz (stay out of the middle or hit your head).
The past weekend, Jennifer came for a visit from Friday afternoon until late Sunday morning. We hiked in the rain at night to a waterfall and looked at big rocks, cooked cooked cooked - perfect-omelets and pretty-meatballs, baked brownies, sat in the new bus shelters and imagined the sea, played with matches - giggling, flew paper airplanes that we drew and made wishes on from my balcony, swam/floated in warm mineral water, explored the creepy but exciting basement of my building, tried to put out a dumpster fire with my fire extinguisher (to no avail), watched the goonies - classic, and garden state - strange, lots lots lots of fun. It is great to have friend, a good good friend.
Tonight I am having dinner with Yadira and Emily and Mary who will visit Yadira from Plovdiv for the weekend. We will have a kind of chocolate sauce called mola on chicken, a recipe from Mexico I think. And tomorrow I will go to Sofia first thing, first bus, early. I am volunteering to work on the Habitat for Humanity project again, the same one I worked on two months ago. After that, sushi. I heard that there is a Japanese restaurant that just opened in Sofia and I am going to check it out. I don't have too too high hopes, but am excited for it. I will meet Stephanie to eat and then we will probably go out for all night dancing at a disco - a night of - as we like to say jokingly & too often - gettin' durty and crunk.

Bush's FY06 Budget for the Peace Corps
The White House is proposing $345 Million for the Peace Corps for FY06 - a $27.7 Million (8.7%) increase that would allow at least two new posts and maintain the existing number of volunteers at approximately 7,700. Bush's 2002 proposal to double the Peace Corps to 14,000 volunteers appears to have been forgotten. The proposed budget still needs to be approved by Congress.

If you chose 1:
You're a Christmas modernist. You think the Taylor Swift's version of "Last Christmas" is superior to Wham!'s and you're already looking forward to a new cover of "All I Want From Christmas Is You" by Justin Bieber's yet-to-be-conceived child. You send electronic Christmas cards containing virtual gift cards as gifts. You're the worst.
If you chose 2: You are one of those "sexy Christmas" people. If you're a man, you wear velvet slippers with no socks to parties and if you're a woman, you complain about people who wear shapeless black puffers because all you put on as outerwear is a fur vest, for braving the commute from your Uber Black to the hotel bar. You also spend Christmas on some island that most people have never even heard of, let alone can travel to. You're also the worst.
If you chose 3: You seem like a chill person 11 months of the year but you're one of those types that gets actively offended when a stranger says "happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" because the intent wasn't general wishes of good tidings but a subtle message that they hate baby Jesus and want to enstate Sharia Law. You go around almost hoping people wish you "Happy holidays" so you can complain about it later on one of your private Facebook groups after you've kicked back 7/8th of a bottle of wine. You'd secretly be disappointed if Starbucks released a holiday cup that didn't chap your ass in some way or another. Incidentally you don't go to church because, ugh, church.
If you chose 4: You suspect deep down that you are fundamentally broken inside, and possibly a sociopath.
If you chose 5: You get it. Merry Christmas!

WWE Survivor Series 2011 has revolved around one matchup. John Cena and The Rock taking Awesome Truth in what will be Dwayne Johnson's first wrestling match in seven years! Normally, the thought of Dwayne lacing up the boots for one more match would delight any pro wrestling fan. However, I've found the build for this big four pay per view to be lackluster and foolishly booked to a point where the WWE acted out of lack of knowledge while compensating fans with predictable programming.
Because of this, I feel it's only right for me to provide readers with an alternative. My plan isn't intricate whatsoever; I will discuss each matchup while creating the finishes that will play a necessary role in future storylines.
Team Barrett vs. Team Orton:
I expect great things from the competitors in this match with Team Orton prevailing. However, if I was deciding the finish, Team Barrett would triumph over Team Orton as the winners. You see, the WWE has done exceptionally well in reestablish Wade Barrett over the course of several weeks. The Englishman has compiled an exquisite set of wins over the likes of Sheamus and Randy Orton. If the WWE has a long term plan for Barrett, his team should pick up the win here. With the likes of Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, and Jack Swagger sharing the spotlight at Survivor Series, it would be reasonable to have them go over as it'll be great for their future.
My Finish: Sheamus would be counted out or disqualified after pinning Rhodes. This would leave Barrett and Orton to decide a winner. Obviously, Randy would need to save face as the chance of him putting over Barrett cleanly is slim to none. Barrett would utilize a dirty tactic (interference, low blow etc.) and finish Orton with the Wasteland.
Beth Phoenix vs. Eve:
I must say, the WWE hasn't given me a reason to care for their Divas Division, thus explaining why I'll keep this rather short. A stipulation was recently added to this match with Phoenix defending her Divas Championship in a LumberJill's matchup. I feel as if both competitors will put on an exquisite match, echoing their performance at Vengeance but Phoenix will/should retain regardless. The primary reason for Phoenix's retention is the impending feud between Phoenix and Natalya.
My Finish: Beth doesn't need dirty tactics to defeat Eve Torres but I would have the babyface Divas interfere on Eve's behalf when Phoenix is tossed outside of the squared circle. However, Beth will overcome this and retain the Glam Slam.
Dolph Ziggler vs. John Morrison:
This match will be the entertaining confrontation on this card. The problem is, the Internet (and the live audience too) will be too focused on Zack Ryder instead of enjoying the potential match of the year candidate. Yes, Ryder was able to persuade thousands to sign his petition for a U.S. Title match. However, Ryder has already partaken in two U.S. Championship matches with Ziggler and failed to capture the coveted championship. On the other hand, Morrison's placement in this match was to thrust the support for Ryder to new levels. I don't understand why Ryder's fans fail to realize this but I believe Ryder will become Champion soon. Anyway, John Morrison has regained his "mojo" and intends of winning his first United States Championship this Sunday. The Shaman of Sexy picked up his first win in three months after defeating the Champion with a surprise crucifix. Because of the increased coverage of Morrison, his title match Sunday, and win over Ziggler last week, I believe Mr. Parkour is here to stay. This Sunday, John Morrison wins the United States Championship. The subsequent feud with Ryder will determine if Zack will be Santino Marella 2.0 or a potential main eventer. On the other hand, Dolph Ziggler will finally ascend to the top card.
Everybody wins
My Finish: I can't decide on a solid finish to this matchup but I expect Ryder to be at ringside or involved nonetheless. It can go the simply route with Morrison defeating Ziggler with the Starship Pain or Morrison using a dirty tactic as a face (see Edge vs. Randy Orton RAW 2004 Intercontinental Championship) while disposing of Ryder after his win.
Mark Henry vs. Big Show:
The battle for the World Heavyweight Championship has certainly been a noteworthy one. I must say, these two put on one of the best big man matches I've watched in quite some time. However, I have a problem with the WWE using Daniel Bryan to progress the feud between these two. Anyway, I do feel as if these guys will put on another great match with Mark Henry retaining his World Championship.
My Finish: Mark Henry defeats Big Show clean.
Alberto Del Rio vs. CM Punk:
This feud has been repetitive and unbearable. It's absolutely one sided and I quietly wait for the day it finally ends. As entertaining as CM Punk is, even he cannot make Alberto Del Rio slightly interesting. On the other hand, how many times has this match been given away on RAW? If I'm not mistaken, these two have already faced off on three occasions (on RAW). Anyway, I expect Alberto Del Rio to retain his WWE Championship but my booking plan differs.
My Finish: CM Punk defeats Del Rio cleanly for the WWE Championship. Therefore these two can face off at TLC and end this feud immediately.
The Miz and R-Truth vs. John Cena and The Rock:
Referencing what I stated above, this pay per view revolves around this match. Excuse me; this pay per view revolves around The Rock. The build for this pay per view has saw the other three competitors take on each other in handicap and tag team matches while the other guy sends his condolences via satellite. The matches have been lackluster while Awesome Truth have been dominated or needed to cheat to defeat Cena. So I ask the question, why is the Rock needed when Cena can beat them on his own? Anyway, Cena and Rock will display some friction throughout the matchup but they'll pick up the win regardless.
My finish: The Rock and Cena will win clean but one has to attack the other after the match concludes. I still don't think the WWE has the testicular fortitude to turn Cena heel but I would have him drop Rock with an Attitude Adjustment. However, Cena would not show any happy facial expressions like the last time he gave Dwayne an Attitude Adjustment. Cena will display some anger while quietly leaving Rock unconscious in the ring while giving the crowd a blank stare as he exits.
By doing this, it will create buzz about a possible heel turn thus causing fans to watch RAW the next night.
(The U.S. Title may change this weekend/tonight. If it does, I predict Ryder to finally win the U.S. Championship)

European parliament sees PEGI rating system as right way forward
Tonie Manders, a politician who sits on the European Parliament's Committee, has recommended to The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE), that Europe should universally adopt PEGI's rating system.
Mander's draft report on videogames acknowledges that games and can also be used "well for valuable educational purposes."
He also believes the PEGI system "provides an elegant solution to the questions raised by the evolving global games industry."
"Toine Manders has taken a very close look at the needs of a rating system for games that works well across the EU and concluded that PEGI is the right way forward both on- and off-line," said Michael Rawlinson of ELSPA.
"It is a ringing endorsement of the rating system that we in the UK were instrumental in helping to set up several years ago.
"The protection of children is of paramount important to this industry and we are delighted that a body as significant at the EU's Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs committee fully comprehends the merits of PEGI."
In July last year, the BBFC said that PEGI rating were performed by a "couple of blokes" in a bitter war words about whose ratings system was best. (seriously)
Later than month, Ubisoft, Sega and Nintendo all backed PEGI.

Knock on wood
Graduate Collection 2014
Elisa Kaufmann
Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst Basel / FHNW
– Institute of Fashion Design
Prof. Priska Morger (mentor),
Prof. Kurt Zihlmann (institute director)
In collaboration with:
Patrick Doggweiler (interior architect, Möhlin AG)
for wood accessoires.
Consisting of eight outfits and various accessories, this diploma collection with the programmatic title Knock on wood draws inspiration from two thematic areas – wood as a material and human superstition. Wood is understood here as a primeval base material which can provide physical and psychological grounding. The collection tries to form wood around the body in contemporary style. The individual wooden garment sections, which are conceived of in a sculptural light, support the physical stance of the wearer and at the same time influence the way in which the textiles play around the body. For the wearer of the collection, who is imagined to be superstitious, wood is not just a material but an ideational symbol of control and eternity. Wood helps her to keep a grip on her own destiny.

"Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10)
I have returned to this verse so many times in my life, because I am extraordinarily bad at being still.
So far this year in Richmond, I find myself so much more still than I am used to- my schedule is not as full as I tended to make it in college, and my familiar activities and people I would tend to fill it with are not available. So I tell myself this is good: I can fill my time with stillness and time to pursue God.
But I still manage to replace stillness with something that looks similar, without being open to God and others: being stagnant. Instead of opening my schedule/heart and mind, I still clutter it up, filling my evenings with minute distractions that don't fill me up. I find it very hard to be physically still: I've always been the one bouncing a foot or tapping a pencil. But when I manage the literal stillness of physical inactivity, it just leads to me becoming simultaneously stagnant and bored. And that version of me isn't inclined to read, to pray, to create art, to pursue new friendships and opportunities.
I have been close to achieving stillness at times: usually separated from technology, deep in the woods somewhere. But even then I have found myself frustrated by my ability to find distractions in the temperature, the leaves around me, my plans for post-stillness… Setting can certainly aid this still pursuit of God, but it isn't enough. I am still working on training my mind and heart to focus on God, but for me this focus unfortunately does not come naturally. It is a discipline. And while I have always been intrigued to study spiritual disciplines, I have been a poor practitioner of them.
Too often I want to remedy my stagnant lifestyle by filling it with busyness. To an extent activities are certainly life-giving to me, but I can tend to overcommit and overfill my schedule, then say I don't have the time for the stillness needed to create space for God. But time isn't ever really the issue: even with what feels like too much time on my hands I am not spiritually still/receptive.
So that is a goal for myself the rest of the year: to pursue stillness without stagnancy, even as I continue to pursue meaningful engagement in every community I find myself. I am also trying to dive into liturgy during this time- to fill my seemingly empty hours with spiritual disciplines of a new variety, rather than feeling stuck in patterns I haven't been able to maintain in the past.

This website was designed to provide and assist anyone who has ever been intimidated, harassed, beaten, falsely arrested or a victim of racial profiling, or stopped for no probable cause by any law enforcement agency. We can help you and direct you to civil right attorneys, links to federal agencies , links to governmental agencies and ways to report police brutality to the proper agencies in your state. Police officer's are not above the law , They can and will be held accountable and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, in a court of law. Police brutality is a nation wide epidemic - and it must be stopped. A police officer's job is to enforce the law and bring the aggressor to justice, but many times uneducated police officer's become the aggressor. The police are legally permitted to use force ,but when is too much force? Public trust in the legal system is under minded when police brutality is allowed to continue and becomes a cycle in some areas, So why does it continue? The abuse of power is a severe problem throughout police departments in the United States. You must stand up for your civil rights, and report police brutality, police harassment, intimidation , and the abuse of power and authority immediately to the proper agencies, that is the only way you can resolve this problem . This is a severe problem in small towns. When an individual government official, or other person acting under color of law, violates one's civil rights, such a violation may give rise to civil liability, under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This statute allows a person to sue that individual -- and perhaps his government-employer in certain circumstances -- for money damages. Additionally, if successful on a civil rights claims, the law allows recovery of attorney's fees, under 42 U.S.C. § 1988. Misbehavior by a government official or agency may well also give rise to "negligence" type claims. Many states have "governmental immunities" acts, "sovereign immunities" acts, "tort claims" acts, and the like. These statutes often outline the nature and extent of permissible claims against the particular governmental entity at issue -- oftentimes, a government agrees to "waive" immunity in certain situations, thus allowing a private citizen to sue on non-civil rights claims as well. Sometimes the statute will impose a monetary cap on recovery, or prohibit punitive (i.e., "punishment") damages, or require specific notice to be given within a specified period of time in order to permit one to bring such a claim. It is imperative, in every situation that possibly involves police (or other governmental) liability, that you immediately consult with an attorney to determine the particular type of notice, if any, that must be given to the government. Frequently a failure to give such notice will bar absolutely any claims under the pertinent tort claims/sovereign immunity act.
Story written by : J. O'Griffin - UK Anchor
Narrated by Scott Conover.
In the summer of 2003 my family and I ( The Conover's ) moved from
the Fla. Keys to the mountains of Johnson Co., TN , where we had briefly
visited several times prior in the last four years. We thought it would be a
great place to buy into. Retiring after 20 years with a news station, and having a General Contractor and Structural engineer license, I saw many business opportunities for myself
and to enhance the community. Shortly after we had settled in and built a
beautiful bar, restaurant, and campground on a river besides hwy. 421 in Trade,TN , we
applied for a beer license. With resistance from certain individuals within the
county that think they own the county, we were denied 3 times when trying to obtain our beer license. Meeting all
requirements and getting nowhere, we had seen what we were up against. We had
to bring a attorney from Florida to our location to resolve the matter. 30 minutes
after his arrival the county attorney Bill Cockett from the firm Smith & Cockett,
located in Mountain City, TN issued our license. We began our business without
any more trouble. A short time after we opened , we witnessed the worse case of police
brutality we've ever seen, in our parking lot at around 2 a.m. by Deputy Jodie
Putnam from the Johnson County, TN Sheriff's Department who pulled over a man in our parking lot, and began beating him severely while he was handcuffed .It bothered me all night .
When the sun came up, I drove to the sheriff's
department in my truck to report this to the sheriff. I explained to
him what
approximately six of us witnessed and the vicious brutality of it. He
stated "why do you want to get involved?" I told him that no one should
subjected to this kind of inhumane torture as the man was handcuffed,
beaten viciously, and sprayed in the
face with mace continuously. The man's name was Nathan Venable. Shortly
we were contacted by his attorney, Jeffery Walker , who had requested affidavits from
stating what we witnessed. Approximately two weeks later the sheriff
and a
detective came to our establishment asking us why we were getting
involved. I felt like I was in a sequel of the movie "Race with the
Devil" , as in the movie the tourist reported it to the sheriff , and
the sheriff and his cronies attacked them . Right after this incident
is when the Johnson County Sheriff Department began a campaign of
intimidation and harassment against us. Almost on a daily basis Deputy
Richard Kyle Eller parked across the street and started pulling
over, intimidating, and arresting my family members our customers, and
intimidating our band members . They arrested myself six
times on different occasions, all charges being dismissed and dropped. Imagine
getting arrested for taking a picture of a police officer. Upon getting arrested for unlawful photography,
a charge that doesn't even exist, Sheriff Mike Reece came to our establishment
and spoke to my attorney and me. He
that we did not need to go to court, that he was sorry for his
incompetent deputy's negligence of the law , and that this was over.I
then stated I wanted to file a formal complaint against Deputy Starling
McCloud or have him fired. He said he would look into this , apparently
nothing was ever done. Approximately a month later we received a
summons to go to court for this charge that was supposed to be dropped
immediately. Obviously this was just another lie from Sheriff Mike Reece
and just
another part of his campaign of intimidation and harassment against my
and I. The bottom line is the handful of power hungry individuals that
control the expansion and economic growth of the community , they do
not like outsiders even after investing
over a million dollars to try to enhance the community, bringing
tourism, economic
development, employment, plus a great place to eat and enjoy yourself
to this
rural area. Recently putting us out of business due to their campaign
of intimidation and harassment , they now have 25 more unemployed
people , nowhere to enjoy yourself or eat , and fewer tourists than
there were before .
Soon Mountain City / Johnson County will be a ghost town with nowhere
to work , nothing to do , nowhere to enjoy yourself . The real people that
are suffering in this county are the citizens , from the dysfunctional
administration and Sheriff's Department that's in place. Recently
returning back to Florida
for the safety of my family and still in court with the dysfunctional
department ,and being sued by county attorney's office for their
monetary gain , as they both have continued their vindictive malice
acts upon us. I strongly
advise if you have any plans to vacation or move to Johnson County, TN
do your
homework first because your eyes can deceive you. Speaking to many
other people,
they too were intimidated by the power hungry individuals who
run the
town that manipulate the sheriff's department to intimidate, harass,
and arrest those
unwanted in their town at their leisure. Recently in September 2009
returning to Mountain City to go to court , my daughter and I stopped
by to check one of our family's investment as we noticed the building
had been burglarized . Calling the J.C. ,TN Sheriff's department to
report the burglary , Sgt. Hieronymus Cole arrived . While showing
her the damaged locks on the door , she walked around back and then
returned to the front of the building stating that she had just
received a phone call from Sheriff Mike Reece , and He stated that we
must leave the property immediately or we will be jailed. We asked her
to please clarify it , that there must be a mistake. She then stated
there was nothing to clarify.Not wanting to be arrested by these
vindictive cops again we left our property. As she wouldn't even file
a police report for us about the burglary . This was all caught on
video .The abuse of power and authority within this county's sheriff's
department is extremely blatant . Now we were being denied access to
our family's property ! Your not allowed to inspect your property,your not allowed
to take a picture of a police officer , your not allowed to have an
opinion ,your not allowed to ask any questions, and if you violate any of these "rules" , you will be dragged
off and incarcerated on fictitious charges. Absolutely no one
should be subjected to this kind of intimidation , harassment and
abuse of power at all . Recently we have filed a complaint with
the U.S. Department of Justice . Beware ,
Mike Reece is still the sheriff in Johnson County,TN and his
incompetent cronies are still
intimidating the citizens of Johnson County, TN as they see fit with no
repercussions whatsoever. And I am still waiting for the copy of the
formal complaint that we asked Sheriff Mike Reece to have filed against
Deputy Starling McCloud for his vindictive malice act against me.
Reported by: J.R. Polaski , Investigator Reporter
In the video above, you will see Brennan Hamilton. While waiting for a train to pass, he accidentally leaned against Officer Jeff Overcash's police car, who is employed by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department. The officer approached Hamilton, grabbing him by his arm, and stated for him to 'Get your ass off the car.' The officer then proceeded to intimidate Hamilton by asking him 'Really tough guy, you got something to say to me?' Hamilton then walked back to his car and called the Fort Lauderdale Police Department and requested a LT. or watch commander to come to the scene. They replied that no one was on duty, out of 3,500 officers in the department. Hamilton then went back to the patrol car and asked the officer his name and badge number, so he could report the officer's actions and file a formal complaint against him. Immediately,the cop arrested Hamilton and took him to jail, filing false charges against him. The Internal Affairs department would have to be completely blind, if they cannot see the clear abuse of power and authority Officer Overcash demonstrated. It's blatantly clear in the video. Officers that think that they are above the law and are free to intimidate citizens as they see fit, need to be terminated immediately without any hesitation shown whatsoever. Let us remind Jeff Overcash that he is employed by the city of Fort Lauderdale, FL and he is being paid by the taxpayers of the city, and he is a public servant of the city. He is not above the law, he is only there to enforce the law and he can and will be held responsible for any and all of his actions.
If I was Mr. Hamilton, I would file a civil lawsuit in the United States Federal Court under the color of law against, the Fort Lauderdale, FL Police Department, holding them fully responsible for the dysfunctional actions of their officer, Jeff Overcash. When they're finished paying out for the representation of a Federal lawyer, they will positively terminate this moron.
Officer Jeff Overcash will now be inducted into the " National Officer Hall Of Shame For Asshole Idiots Cops."

SSMS Shared SQL Templates, synchronized with Dropbox account
First of all, Scripts of Template Explorer are stored in %AppData%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell\Templates\SQL
100 for SQL Server 2008 R2, the number depends on your SQL Server version.
It's not possible to modify the path of Template Explorer, but it's possible to modify the content of the path.
For me, it's a good option to link the content with Dropbox Folder, to synchronize it.
Windows 7 has introduced a new shell command called MKLINK, which can create symbolic links.
Well, first of all we have to rename SQL folder:
- Open command prompt and type
- cd %AppData%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell\Templates
For SQL2012: cd %AppData%\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\11.0\Templates\SQL
- ren SQL SQL_OLD
Now link Dropbox Folder to SQL Directory.
- mklink /D Sql C:\Users\USER\Dropbox\SCRIPTS (Change it for your desired path).
Now, open SQL Server Management Studio a go to View Menu, Template Explorer (Ctrl+Alt+T).
If all goes ok, you have to view you Dropbox Folder with all .sql file extension.
Something like this.
The path for SQL2012 is %AppData%\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\11.0\Templates\SQL

The server network address "TCP://SQLServerName:5022″ cannot be reached or does not exist. Check the network address name and that the ports for the local and remote endpoints are operational. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1418 )
If this error occurs when you're trying to create a mirror, check this points:
- Restore backup at secondary server has to be with NORESTORE option.
- All log backup must be restored (Probably some job of SQL SERVER AGENT makes Transaction Log Backup, ensure that last log backup is restored in secondary too).
- GRANT CONNECT ON ENDPOINT::Mirroring TO Public (I think with domain user that runs service account it's enough, but it doesn't work for me, so, PUBLIC, works).
- Maybe Firewall block the Port Number, try to connect, with TELNET for example.
I hope it helps.

Error Restoring Database
domingo, 28 de octubre de 2012
Automatically Mapping a user to a login: sp_change_users_login
The restored Database contains Users and permissions but it aren't mapped with Logins.
Microsoft provides stored procedure to map user with login.
If login doesn't exist, Auto_Fix option will create it.
USE Database;
EXEC sp_change_users_login 'Auto_Fix', 'USER', NULL, 'Password';
Otherwise, if you only need to map USER with LOGIN, use the Update_One option:
USE Database;
EXEC sp_change_users_login 'Update_One', 'USER', 'LOGIN';
I hope that helps you.
Changing default database backup folder for SQL Server
To Modify SQL Data or Log Directory, go to Server Properties, Database Settings, Database Default Locations (marked in red).
Installation Error: The MOF compiler could not connect with the WMI server.
- Open console command (Run->CMD with administrator privileges).
- net stop winmgmt
- Rename folder %windir%\System32\Wbem\Repository to other one, for backup purposes (for example _Repository).
- net start winmgmt

SSMA Declare variable when Sp doesn't have migrated code
declaration variable to prevent SP creation error.
For example:
Create procedure stp_Test_Migration_Code (@nombre varchar(50) OUTPUT) AS
select @nombre = db_name (tempdb_id(@@spid))
This SP has to be migrated to SQL Server, but SSMA and SQL Server doesn't have tempdb_id(spid) "function", and it comment the line code.
Create procedure stp_Test_Migration_Code (@nombre varchar(50) OUTPUT) AS
*SSMA error messages:
* S2SS0020: The identifier 'db_name(UNKNOWN)' was not converted
select @nombre = (NULL)
If we try to execute this, in SQL Server, shows an error, because the SP needs to have something between BEGIN and END.
This is the reason that SSMA generate a line code declaration:
Create procedure stp_Test_Migration_Code (@nombre varchar(50) OUTPUT) AS
*SSMA error messages:
* S2SS0020: The identifier 'db_name(UNKNOWN)' was not converted
select @nombre = (NULL)
DECLARE @db_null_statement3 int

Create User for Contained Database
Following with conained Databases in SQL Server 2012 (Enabling contained databases), we must create a User for login in.
The first step is to create the SQL user User with Password (userName: containedUser)
Make sure to set a membership role, for example db_owner.
Now, try to connect to Contained database, choose SQL Authentication and complete your Login and Password.
The most important!, don't forgett to specify the database Name, in connection properties.
This is the flow that SQL Server use to log in Database.
Thats's all

Enabling contained Databases in SQL Server 2012
There are two ways, with GUI, or T-SQL:
In Advanced options for Server properties
Executing this statements
EXEC sys.sp_configure N'contained database authentication', N'1' GO RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE GO
Then can use contained databases.
For specifying a contained DB you can go to Option menu for the Database Properties.
Or execute the T-SQL
USE [master] GO ALTER DATABASE [XYZ] SET CONTAINMENT = PARTIAL WITH NO_WAIT GO
If you want to create a new Contained Database:

Advanced SQL Queries Migration, SQL Query Editor convert Queries than SSMA can't
There are some "complex" queries with *= and =* operators, and sometimes SSMA can't transform queries correctly.
We want to change it for LEFT/RIGHT JOIN and so on, because it seems that Microsoft only will have compatibility with two previous versions, for example:
- SQL 2008, supports 2005 and 2000.
- SQL 2012, will support 2008 and 2005 (I supose).
In fact, it affects to NON-ANSI join operators, because this compatibility (for SQL Server 2000), takes no longer in SQL 2012.
First of all we test the query as is in SQL Server (2008 with database compatibility set to 2000) :
Error: Query contains an outer-join request that is not permitted.
The more usual is to use SSMA, so we insert it like a statement in SSMA Project Migration.
Some queries with unions, sub-selects NON-ANSI JOIN and so more, can't be transformed correctly.
When it occurs, try to copy the original statement to New Query Window, in SQL Server, select it, and go to Design Query in Editor. It convert the statement better than SSMA. It's a good solution for some statements, but in a migration project, with thousand's of statements, it's not a good practice, because we can't do it massively.
(For business confidentiality, I can't post the statements, but As soon as I retrieve a "big" query with this conversion problem, I'll try to post here.)

Cannot resolve collation conflict for equal to operation
If you have differente collation in two columns, and you try to make some kind of query with one of these things:
1) Join predicates
2) Where clauses
3) Use more than one database or temporal tables (for example: TempDB with different collation than the other database).
4) Functions
The error message is:
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "Latin1_General_CI_AI" and "Modern_Spanish_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.
(Latin1_General_CI_AI and Modern_Spanish_CI_AS are collation examples).
See the example to resolve collation column conflict:
Test1.Col1 ->Latin1_General_CI_AI (DATABASE_DEFAULT)
Test2.Col2 ->Modern_Spanish_CI_AS
You can set the COLLATE to Query:
SELECT ID FROM Test1
INNER JOIN Test2
WHERE Test1.Col1 = Test2.Col1 COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT (or COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AI)
Another options are set the same Collation to any level column, database, or servers.
To see the collation database, go to properties database, or use this:
SELECT DATABASEPROPERTYEX('DATABASE', 'Collation') as DB;

SSMA Bug Migration Sybase to SQL Server
The migration wizard SSMA(version 5.2.1260) makes the next wrong conversion.
The scenario is:
- Table named NCO
- Table named TestConversion with colum name NCO
- Any statement (Insert, Update, Select...)
Update TestConversion
where NCO > 1
SSMA converted statement
Update TestConversion
where dbo.NCO > 1
SSMA identifies NCO like a table (because the field name matches with Table name) and adds the prefix dbo. (or the name schema especified in the application).
If we want to execute this sentence, it returns an error.
The solution is to change the column name for another name that doesn't match with any table name, or correct all sentences, deleting dbo. in applied cases.

Change Server Collation
ALTER DATABASE master COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AI
An error ocurred:
Cannot alter the database 'master' because it is a system database.
The previous instruction only works with non-system database.
To change it in system database, go to console (cmd.exe), and to SQL Server DVD.
Execute something like this.
Setup /QUIET /ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE /INSTANCENAME=YYYYYYY /SQL SYSADMINACCOUNTS=SA /SAPWD= XXXXX /SQLCOLLATION=Latin1_General_CI_AI
INSTANCENAME: your SQL server instance name.
SAPWD: Password of sa (if you choose sa User).
SQLCOLLATION: The collation to change, in this case Latin1_General_CI_AI.
I hope it helps.

Fridges dumped in canals, Chiang Mai swamped
Deputy Mayor Chatree Chuamanocharn on Friday acknowledged the survey of municipal waterways conducted by Nakhon Chiang Mai Municipality officials implementing the "Ying Thing, Ying Tuam" campaign – whose name translates roughly as "The more garbage disposed of in the wrong places, the worse the flooding".
Chatree said the situation was particularly bad along the Mae Kha Canal in the Fa Mai neighbourhood, the exit point for water draining out of the urban area. Garbage collected there in a bottleneck, he said, impeding drainage.
He said municipality workers had recently pulled discarded mattresses, large tree branches and even a refrigerator and washing machine from the canal, along with a multitude of plastic bags full of garbage – 15 tonnes of waste in all. Chatree urged community residents to report anyone throwing hefty material into sewers and canals, especially the Mae Kha, vowing to fine "selfish" litterbugs up to Bt10,000.
He urged residents with old furniture, appliances and other large unwanted items to call the municipality during office hours at 053-259116-7 to have workers collected them rather than throwing them into water channels.
Municipal workers also had dredged waterways connected to the Ping River near Wat Chaimongkol and a Charoen Prathet mosque and removed a large amount of garbage from storm sewers.
The effort was expected to prevent flooding at the Night Bazaar and in Chang Klan and Chareon Prathet, Chatree said. Dredging was also done around the Waroros flower market, he added.
"Drainage pipes in the area were clogged with flower stems, plastic ties and plant roots, so when we had heavy rain, it was no wonder there was flooding. Everyone, including merchants, should abide by cleanliness regulations," he said.

text: The Private Museum is proud to present Void and Void Decks, the inaugural collaboration between two Singaporean artists Chow Chee Yong and Tang Ling Nah. Coming from their respective backgrounds, the two artists cross paths for the first time in their research practices and choices of media. Chow attempts to capture the intangible and temporal 3rd space in his photographs with a single shot, without further manipulation. On the other hand, Tang suggests the extension of space through her charcoal drawings of passages and openings. The highlight of this exhibition is the new collaborative work by Chow and Tang, which blurs the line between drawing and photography, real and imaginary. Come join us and rediscover our often-neglected surroundings through these artworks. Void and Void Decks: Chow Chee Yong & Tang Ling Nah begins on 3rd August through 30th September at The Private Museum Ltd 51 Waterloo Street #02-06.

Seven Things Your IT Department Wishes You Knew About Tech Support
From Lifehacker
Seven Things Your IT Department Wishes You Knew About Tech Support
Working in the IT department is often a thankless job. You're like the invisible behind-the-scenes worker who is only noticed when something breaks—and then you're blamed for it. Here are seven misconceptions about tech support reps and the IT department you should know so you can work better with the IT guy or gal.
Recently we asked you what you wish others knew about your occupation, and many in the IT field chimed in—system admins and tech support specialists among them. We're including many of their answers here, as well as info from other sources. (I used to work as an IT admin, and now that I'm out, am free to help reveal some secrets.)
1. We're Not Magicians or Mind Readers
Lifehacker readers tend to be their families' tech support person. You know how annoying it is when a family member asks you out of the blue about an obscure problem with an obscure piece of software or technology and expects you to have the solution at the top of your head? It's like that, except a hundred times worse for those in IT (whether their job is to help you fix your computer problems or not). Now you have dozens or possibly hundreds of employees expecting a quick fix to an infinite number of problems.
The truth is, the same way that a lawyer doesn't know every law or legal ruling ever made, but rather uses research and critical thinking skills to form an understanding of a case, IT people are trained primarily in problem-solving skills. The knowledge part is gleaned from the info you provide, knowledgebases, prior experience, and, yes, Google.
That means a bit of patience on your part is much appreciated, and the more details you can provide about an issue, the better. Also, be honest. Lifehacker commenter echo125488 says:
I work in customer support for a software company. I wish people would understand that I'm really here to help you, I'm not going to blame you for your mistakes, so when I ask you if anything changed with your system, just admit it. I don't care why you deleted your database and I'm not going to rat you out to your boss. Heck, I don't even know your boss. Just be honest, and be as detailed as possible when stating your issue. I don't have psychic abilities, I can't read minds, and I don't have a mind reading app.
Go through enough tech support sessions and you'll find a universal set of questions and recommendations: Did you try restarting your computer? Plugging and unplugging the device? Clear your internet cache? Try another browser and incognito mode? Etc. Jot down the steps you took and have the specs for your system on hand and everything will go more smoothly for everyone.
Also, as OrangeGello points out, there's a limit to what the IT department can do:
If corporations like Oracle never supported their software for Macs, don't ask us how you can run Oracle's software on your Mac. Get a PC like a normal person.
There's an expectation now that work environments have to support every type of consumer device and product—as soon as it's available (now!)—but it's not always easy or possible for the IT department to make everything work for everybody.
2. Please Don't Ask Us to Fix Your Personal Computer
Back when I was working in IT, I'd get requests almost every week from a co-worker or my bosses to work on their personal technology—and sometimes even fix their friends' or family members' laptops or phones. Sometimes promises of a pizza or a small payment would be suggested, but even then it seemed inappropriate. It's like asking someone you know in the accounting department to do your taxes for you or someone in HR to revise your resume. If the person has a side business repairing PCs, by all means, ask. But otherwise, look for personal tech support advice or repair work elsewhere.
3. There Are Reasons for the Slow Tech Adoption (It's Sometimes Not Our Fault)
IT is often ridiculed for antiquated practices, like continuing to use Windows XP beyond its support life. (Seriously, it is time to move on.) Not long ago, a small business executive told me that his company buys all of the PDAs it can find on eBay (I think it was a particular Palm Pilot model) because their critical, proprietary company software could run only on that device and operating system. They thought it was better to stick with a dying technology than to invest in moving to a new platform.
That's the extreme example, but I don't think it's uncommon. Organizational inertia, Big Men Content points out, plays a huge role in this problem:
Once a process is in place it requires much more force to remove it simply because those running the current system are predisposed to want to keep it the same.
There is certainly a level of job and turf protection but I believe these get blamed for far more than they are actually responsible for when it comes to introducing more technology. At the heart of it all, even in IT, there is a closely held belief that whatever you change is going to be more work not less. Probably because in the past we have done a terrible job of turning off the old way of doing things.
The "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality isn't just with the IT department who might not want to replace an entire system or change anything that could mess up the rest of the infrastructure. End users and the people who hold the purse strings don't like change or relearning how to use things either. Remember the resistance to the Ribbon in Microsoft Office?
So try not to get angry at your IT department when you can only access your company website with Internet Explorer and Java installed. It's not entirely their fault.
4. We Have to Assume You Know Nothing About Computers
Sometimes, as a regular end user needing tech support, I get frustrated calling the support line and going through torturous conversations like this:
CS: "So your screen is blank but you have horizontal lines going through it?"
Me: "Yes, I see gray horizontal lines"
CS: "The lines are gray?"
Me: "Yes, as I said. They're like thick dotted lines, four of them at the bottom"
CS: "Okay, are these dotted lines or continuous?"
Me: Please shoot me.
It's frustrating to go through multiple hoops and a scripted checklist with a tech support specialist when it feels like a waste of time. The uniform approach, though, makes sure nothing gets ignored—and often tech calls are "recorded for quality purposes" so tech support reps have to go through all those steps, as painful as they are for both the caller and the rep.
Having been on both sides of this, I think there's room for tech support to not treat end users like they're idiots, while still (necessarily) assuming they could be.
5. IT Policies Aren't Arbitrary Rules
Turn on two-factor authentication. Use a VPN when you travel. Make your password secure. The IT department isn't trying to torture you. These are the best practices that cover both our asses and yours (and they're a PITA for us as well).
In some industries, these are legal requirements to protect everyone from the serious consequences of data breaches and the like. But even when they're not legally required, these policies help protect all of us.
6. We Know What You're Up To (So Don't Do Personal Stuff on Your Work Computer)
Always assume you're being monitored, even if you're not sure.
7. We're as Frustrated as You Are
Sometimes we have to enforce policies we don't agree with, such as how frequently passwords have to change or which programs you have to use. The software and hardware we're all working with makes us pull our hair also. It's not that we really hate you but that the IT department and other departments tend to have a dysfunctional relationship. Big Men on Content says:
You break rules but hold IT accountable for them – […] IT by charter is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the data and they do so by a number of means, many of which prevent you from doing whatever you want. So naturally you circumvent those rules (or turn a blind eye when someone else does) yet when a security breach occurs or a system fails because a rule was broken it is the IT manager responsible for maintaining it that is often the one to pay the price politically and professionally.
This is not to say that the IT department doesn't make mistakes or that the system couldn't be improved. While it might seem like a "you versus us" situation, though, I think we're all on the same side. We all want things to work…and, perhaps, to never need to talk to each other unless necessary.

All People – Consume
10 Things Your Support Guy Wants You To Know
If you ask me technical questions please don't argue with me because you don't like my answer. If you think you know more about the topic, why ask? And if I'm arguing with you…it's because I am positive that I am correct, otherwise I'd just say "I don't know" or give you some tips on where to look it up, I don't have the time to just argue for the sake of it.
Starting a conversation by insulting yourself (i.e. "I'm such an idiot") will not make me laugh, or feel sorry for you; all it will do is remind me that yes, you are an idiot and that I am going to hate having to talk to you. Trust me; you don't want to start a call that way.
I am ok with you making mistakes, fixing them is my job. I am not ok with you lying to me about a mistake you made. It makes it much harder to resolve and thus makes my job more difficult. Be honest and we can get the problem resolved and continue on with our business.
There is no magic "Fix it" button. Everything takes some amount of work to fix, and not everything is worth fixing or even possible to fix. If I say that you just need to re-do a document that you accidentally deleted 2 months ago, please don't get mad at me. I'm not ignoring your problem, and it's not that I don't like you, I just cant always fix everything.
Not everything you ask me to do is "urgent". In fact, by marking things as "urgent" every time, you almost ensure that I treat none of it as a priority.
You are not the only one who needs help, and you usually don't have the most urgent issue. Give me some time to get to your problem, it will get fixed.
Emailing me several times about the same issue in the same day is not only unnecessary, it's highly annoying. Emails will stay until I delete them, I won't delete them until I'm done with them. I will typically respond as soon as I have a useful update. If it is an urgent issue, let me know (see number 5).
Yes, I prefer email over telephone calls. It has nothing to do with being friendly, it's about efficiency. It is much faster and easier for me to list out a set of questions that I need you to answer than it is for me to call and ask you them one by one. You can find the answers at your leisure and while I'm waiting I can work on other problems.
Yes, I seem blunt and rude. It's not that I mean to, I just don't have the time to sugar coat things for you. I assume we are both adults and can handle the reality of a problem. If you did something wrong, I will tell you. I don't care that it was a mistake, because it really makes no difference to me. Don't take it personal, I just don't want it to happen again.
And finally, yes, I can read your email, I can see what web pages you look at while you are at work, yes, I can access every file on your work computer, and I can tell if you are chatting with people on an instant messenger or chat room (and can also read what you are typing). But no, I don't do it. It's unethical, I'm busy, and in all reality you aren't all that interesting. So unless I am instructed to specifically monitor or investigate your actions, I don't. There really are much more interesting things on the internet than you.

Hot Stone Massage Equipment
About Hot Stone Massage
The application of warmed Basalt stones combined with manual massage to provide the client with a deeply relaxing, therapeutic experience. This treatment which also benefits the therapist not only financially but also physically.
As a contemporary therapy, hot stone massage was introduced to the world of spa treatments by Mary Nelson in 1993. The therapeutic use of stones and rocks has, however, been employed for thousands of years in various forms.
The technique utilises smooth warm (basalt*) stones in the therapist's hands to massage the client's body; the heat gently penetrating the skin and muscles, helping the recipient to relax quickly and effectively.
Aromatherapy, Reflexology and MLD, along with many other techniques, can be combined with hot stone massage. Many students employing many techniques are able to use thermal stones to avoid, or minimise, the effects of RSI or to continue practicing after sustaining an injury to hands or wrists.
Basalt stones are the stones of choice for hot stone massages because basalt retains heat better than any other type of stone and they have a smooth texture.
Duo Pads will be available within 2-4 weeks as they are Made in England.

My GC is a bit nervous about getting the install right since its hung on hinges that are lag bolted to the underlying structure. The frames aren't perfectly square so he will need to do some shimming to get it just right. The issue is that he can't shim the jambs because the lag screws go deep into the supporting frame. So I suggested that he build a temp support to hold the doors in the exact closed position he wants it and then use that to line up the hinges.
Anyone try anything like this before? Given the weight we are worried that they will shift a bit and then will be out of alignment. Or over time they will sag. The lags have a out a 1/32 of an inch of play within the hole of the hinge. Plus the hinges are mounted on the face of the building frame so he can't shim it horizontally.

To celebrate these anniversaries, 4 international societies have also been involved in the organization of the conference:
- the European Society for Biomaterials for a specific track on "Biomaterials",
- the International Society of Biomechanics for the track "Human movement"
- the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports for the track "Sport biomechanics", and
- the International Research Council on Biomechanics of Injury (IRCOBI) for the track "Impact/injury biomechanics".
ESB 2016 gathered 780 participants from 47 countries.
The 4 keynote speakers (Pr. G. Courtine, Pr. R. Pettigrew, Pr. C. Jacobs and Dr. P. Laugier) and the 18 perspectives talks addressed current challenges in biomechanics and related fields.
The attendees presented their work in 403 podiums and 210 posters. All the abstracts are available in open access: Lyon 2016
Some novelties were proposed in the organization of ESB 2016:
- Sessions were chaired by an expert and a junior in a mentoring way.
- Some perspective talks were jointly given by a clinician and an engineer to better highlight their common contributions to different research topics (cardiovascular, orthopaedics).
- Posters were presented in a flash presentation (1 slide, 2 minutes), in the same room as podium presentations on the same theme, to give them a wider audience. Then discussions took place in front of the posters during the following coffee break.
The social events were also an important part of ESB 2016 including the Welcome reception, the Student event, the Sponsors cocktail and the Gala dinner.

20th Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics
In 2014 the 20th Congress of ESB joined to WCB held in Boston, USA.
7th World Congress on Biomechanics, July 6 – 11, 2014, Boston, USA
The World Congress of Biomechanics is an international meeting held once every four years, rotating among Europe, Asia and the Americas.
The ESB strongly supports the WCB, by its representation on the organising committee, and the ESB community is strongly integrated, with European scientists participating as keynote lecturers, track and session chairs for the conference. Traditional ESB activities were given a specific focus at the congress, with plenary sessions dedicated to our awards program and our bi-annual General Assembly.
19th Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics
The19th Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB2013) was held at the Conference and Cultural Centre of the University of Patras, Greece, between 25-28 August 2013. It was organized by the team of the Laboratory of Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering of the University of Patras , headed by Professor Yannis Missirlis.
Being the inaugural congress as an annual event, it managed to attract 550 delegates from 46 countries, from all 5 continents.On Sunday, 2 courses were held: One on Nanomechanics of Cell-tissue-Biomaterials, and the other on Wavelet Analysis of Biological Signals. On the following 3 days, 338 oral presentations and 166 poster were communicated.
The plenary speakers were exceptional in transmitting their overview and state-of-art lectures to large audiences. Professors Evan Evans (Canada/USA), Peter Kohl (UK) and Reinhard Blickhan (Germany) provided everyone with excellent food-for-thought on the role of biomechanics accross many scales. The plenary sessions on students' award, the Huiskes' medal to Professor John Currey, the Best Doctoral thesis lecture, all added to the quality of the Congress as a whole.
The opening ceremony on Sunday evening started with a brief historical note on biomechanics by Yannis Missirlis, a lecture on the Role of Ancient Theaters by Martin Kreeb and a superb concert by the Plucked String Orchestra of the Patras Municipality, followed by a reception. The well attended «Students' evening» was appraised by everybody. The Congress dinner took place in the terrace of a restaurant overlooking Patras, and was the forum for all the awards presentations.

18th Congress of the ESB
The 18th Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics was held in Lisbon, Portugal, 1st to 4th July 2012.
The main objective of the Congress was to bring together researchers and practitioners in biomechanics, and to stimulate and promote research on all core topics of biomechanics, including emerging research areas.
The event, with about 750 participants, opened on Sunday 1st July with two pre-courses on Movement Biomechanics and on Cell Biomechanics and Mechanobiology. These courses of great interest for graduate students, post-docs and young researchers counted with a nice number of participants, about 40 for each course. The main program, from Monday to Wednesday, included 460 oral presentations and 195 poster presentations. All abstracts are published online as a supplement of Journal of Biomechanics (Vol 45, Supp 1, July 2012).
Three plenary sessions, offered by Prof. Gerhard Holzapfel, Prof. Ton van den Bogert and Prof. James Iatridis, addressed current challenges in biomechanics. Some members of the Society were recognized in five Award sessions. It should be emphasized the Huiskes Medal Award attributed to Prof. Georg Bergmann. This Award was attributed for the first time at this Congress.
The social events were a great contribute for the success of the Congress, in particular the students evening on Monday and the Congress dinner on Tuesday.

16th Congress of the ESB
The 16th Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics (reported by Stephen Ferguson in our Autumn 2008 Newsletter PDF 2.73 MB) took place in Lucerne (Switzerland) on July 6 – 9, 2008, and was a resounding success. The meeting was organised by the MEM Research Center – ISTB at the University of Bern, Switzerland, and attracted more than 600 abstracts on diverse topics spanning the whole spectrum of the biomechanics field. You can find a report and pictures from the meeting here (PDF 1.98 MB).
Drawing on the continuing success of previous meetings of the ESB, the goal was to strengthen the scientific basis of our traditional core topics while diversifying to include emerging research areas. A pre-course drew on the extensive MedTech industry within Switzerland to bring to the delegates practical experiences which link the basic research world to final applications. Plenary talks addressed the current "hot topics" in biomechanics research, and provided valuable insight into the ever-increasing importance of collaborative research, interdisciplinary programs, EU funding opportunities and biomechanical education programs.

Pottering about this morning doing various jobs but just after lunch the new battery arrived for the mower so it was off down to Pillings marina. Round to the sanitary station for another pump out after adding some water to the black water tank tried a pump out to make sure the new fitting was air tight. No problem.
And while we were there.
At last.
Fun and games getting back to our mooring as the breeze was getting up and stopping us reversing onto the finger mooring. Sliding us sideways, even against the bow thruster. Fortunately a couple of the locals saw our plight and took a line to guide us in. Thanks chaps.
Think we may have a lazy day tomorrow.

The Hone-O-Drive™ unit cures the problem of high engine revs when low rear axle ratio drag race gearing is used. The Hone-O-Drive™ allows fantastic acceleration and hill climbing power in direct drive and greatly increased fuel economy and long engine life in overdrive. This is also ideal for use in off-road vehicles, pick-up trucks, and campers where lower axle ratios are generally employed. The new Hone-O-Drive™ overdrive transmission system currently comes in four (4) different configurations including two (2) different Ford type 9″ rear differential bolt patterns and either shared lubrication or independent lubrication designs. See our Model Selection Guide to help determine which model best fits your application.
How it Works
With the synchro in one position, the unit locks up for direct drive. Shift the synchro to the alternate position and the incoming drive shaft drives a custom planetary carrier gear assembly that propels an enveloping ring gear approximately 30% faster. The ring gear drives the rear end pinion gear to reach overdrive speeds.
While it was important to keep the authentic look and feel of the original Hone-O-Drive™, upgrades were made using technologies that simply weren't available when the Hone-O-Drive™ was first produced. These upgrades and improvements allow the unit to offer performance specifications of 1,000 HP and 1,000 ft-lbs of torque for vehicles up to 8,500 lbs GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) and comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
Strict Quality Standards
Hone-O-Drive™ Overdrives are made to strict quality standards and comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
All new Hone-O-Drive™ components are manufactured under rigid inspection to close tolerances, just like the original Hone-O-Drive™, to promote long life and insure interchangeability of parts of the new units. The housings are cast using high grade aircraft quality aluminum for strength and light weight performance. The design uses a planetary gear assembly with a synchromesh unit mounted in the custom aluminum housing.
Gears are of high quality proprietary alloy metals, treated using a proprietary process for improved wear and high strength, with helical teeth for smooth, quiet operation. Bearings are anti-friction. Drive components are made of high quality proprietary alloy, stress-proof metal for superior strength and improved durability expected of today's technologically advanced products.
