text: Tuesday, December 06, 2011 New in the Literature: Acute Postburn Rehabilitation (J Burn Care Res. 2011 Oct 5. [Epub ahead of print]) In patients with burns, using the Nintento Wii appears to improve anxiety, active range of motion (AROM), function, and enjoyment at a faster rate compared with patients who do not use the gaming device, say authors of an article published in Journal of Burn Care & Research. Presence (immersion into a virtual environment) minimally changed between successive treatment sessions for those in the Wii group, they add. For this study, participants were alternated and stratified based on the location of burn into Wii or control treatment groups. Joints of interest with limited AROM were the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle. All participants received 3 consecutive sessions of passive range of motion and predetermined joint-specific exercises. This was followed by either designated Wii games or therapist-chosen interventions (control). Data from 23 participants aged 20 to 78 years were analyzed. The difference in mean slopes suggested that the Wii group experienced less pain than the control group over time. Although statistical significance was not reached in any category, feasibility was supported, and the overall pattern for outcomes was positive for the Wii group, the most favorable being for pain reduction. Future research with larger sample sizes is warranted to explore best practice with video game technology throughout the continuum of burn rehabilitation with appropriate prescriptions, say the authors.

By Brian T. Woods, Ed.D., Superintendent In the last few weeks we have all heard reaction to the ruling in the school funding lawsuit. That reaction ranged from those clamoring for restoration of the cuts from the last legislative session to others who advocate delaying any work on school finance until after all appeals have been heard. The reaction that really bothers me is the one that says that while school funding in Texas has increased dramatically there are no substantial improvements in student outcomes.

What's a 'vampire facelift'?
The term "vampire facelift" is a term trademarked by a physician that involves neither vampires nor a facelift.
This procedure involves using a person's own blood to create a product to help give your face a youthful appearance. A sample of a person's blood is drawn and processed in platelet rich plasma (PRP). According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the PRP can then be injected into a person's wrinkles.
The ASPS said PRP is typically combined with a dermal filler to achieve facial rejuvenation.
According to the ASPS, orthopedic surgeons have been using PRP to treat sports injuries in patients. Research shows PRP can be useful in healing wounds.

POP star Sir Cliff Richard will not become "embroiled" in a row between police and the BBC over coverage of the search of his home, his lawyers have said.
The chief constable of South Yorkshire Police David Crompton earlier apologised to the performer if the force was "insensitive" about the search.
Mr Crompton told the Home Affairs Select Committee that his inquiry had been "fatally compromised" by a claimed leak from someone within high profile sex crime inquiry Operation Yewtree to the BBC, leading his force to make a "sweetheart deal" with the broadcaster.
But BBC bosses gave a starkly different account of what happened, claiming their reporter Dan Johnson only knew "a name" and no details of the inquiry before he was briefed by the force.
In a letter to the committee, Sir Cliff's solicitor Gideon Benaim said: "We trust that you will appreciate that while there is an ongoing police investigation, we would not wish our client to become embroiled in the wider issues being considered by the committee."
He confirmed that the star had no prior knowledge of last month's search of his Berkshire penthouse, which he bought in 2008.
Sir Cliff has been questioned under caution by police as part of an investigation into an alleged sexual assault on a young boy at a religious event in 1985, but not arrested or charged.
Mr Crompton, who was accused of incompetence over the way the operation was handled, told the influential committee the force was backed in to a corner.
He said: "We were placed in a very difficult position because of the original leak and the BBC came to us knowing everything that we knew, as far as the investigation was concerned," he said.
"My concern was that if we showed the BBC the door, the very clear impression which had been left with my staff in the media department was that they were likely to publish the story. That would have impeded our investigation.
"I'm confident that we made the right decision in difficult and unusual circumstances."
Branding the broadcaster's coverage of the high profile raid "disproportionate", he said the raid had been made to look "heavy-handed and intrusive".
Mr Crompton said: "We had a job to do but I do apologise to Sir Cliff if we were insensitive about the way that we did that. We had a job to do, and we have an investigation. The problem is that investigation could never be done in a low-profile way because it was fatally compromised from the outset."
South Yorkshire Police has already complained to the BBC about its coverage of the search of Sir Cliff's penthouse last month, claiming that an analysis piece posted on the broadcaster's website was an attempt to distance itself from what had happened.
The BBC has confirmed that the leak about the inquiry did not come from South Yorkshire Police, but in line with standard journalistic practice will not reveal the actual source of the information.
Mr Crompton told the committee that BBC staff had "made it clear" to South Yorkshire Police that the source of the leak came from within Operation Yewtree, Scotland Yard's investigation sparked by sexual abuse allegations against disgraced presenter Jimmy Savile and others.
However the reporter concerned, Mr Johnson, has flatly denied revealing the source.
Mr Crompton argued the analysis piece had given the false impression South Yorkshire Police had worked with the media outlet to generate publicity.
However, committee chairman Keith Vaz said BBC director of news and current affairs James Harding has claimed the police chief has text messages and emails in his possession that would disprove this argument.
Agreeing to hand over the text messages and emails, Mr Crompton added: "Texts and emails are read in the cold light of day. What you can not add to that equation by publishing them are any phone calls that may intersperse different texts or emails and some of that is key to where Mr Harding might be going.
"If you just read the emails, you can get an impression. Unless you're aware of some of the phone calls interspersed with the emails, you don't get the full impression."
BBC director general Lord Hall later told the Committee that if senior editorial staff had been approached by the police warning of damage to the investigation, they would not have run the story.
He said: "Had the chief constable come to a news editor, head of news gathering, James Harding, director of news or myself and said to us 'if you run this story you will hamper this investigation, it would be damaging to this investigation' we would not have run the story.
"I want you to be absolutely clear about that. We would not have run the story."
Lord Hall said reporter Mr Johnson went to South Yorkshire Police to discuss "a number of stories" and had a tip off from the source that he will not reveal referring to Sir Cliff.
The director general said there was "no hint in any of that of us knowing any more than the name Cliff Richard", while head of newsgathering Jonathan Munro said Mr Johnson denies revealing the source of the tip off, and has kept notes of the meeting.

£40,000 After Tax
If you earn £40,000 a year in 2019 / 2020, after tax deductions you'll take home a net salary of £2,561 every month, and your hourly rate will be £19.23.
HMRC will deduct £5,500 in tax, and £3,764 in National Insurance from your salary (that's £9,264 total deductions), and your full yearly take-home will be £30,736 . Please see the table below for a more detailed break-down, or scroll down for more information on your £40,000 salary.
NEW! See how your PAYSLIP will look like for your £40,000 salary
Tax Band For £40,000 Income
£40,000 Salary Highlights
Your monthly net pay, after tax and NI will be £2,561. This is the cash you receive in your bank account.
Your hourly income (or hourly rate) will be £19.23, for a normal, full time 40 hours work week.
Your £40,000 income explained
We know from your input that your total income for the year 2019 / 2020 is £40,000. Let's break-down this sum and see how we've calculated your tax, NI, and monthly net salary.
Personal allowance
Everyone earning an income in the UK has a personal allowance -- usually the first few thousands of pounds (a year) from your salary -- that you don't have to pay tax on. For the tax year April 2019 /April 2020, this personal allowance is £12,500.
This means that for the first £12,500 that you are earning, you will pay no tax. Please note that you still have to pay National Insurance, as National Insurance has different allowances. We'll get to this soon.
Your taxable amount
Therefore, if we deduct the personal allowance from the yearly £40,000 salary, you'll have a taxable amount of £27,500.
Amount liable for NI
You also have a national insurance threshold on your salary, which means that you won't pay NI for the first £8,632 from your yearly salary. This means that, according to our calculations, only £31,368 of your yearly earnings will be liable for National Insurance.
Your income tax
Your total tax for the tax year Apr 2019 – Apr 2020 is £5,500. This equates to £458 tax per month.
Your National Insurance
You will pay a total of £3,764 in national insurance in the tax year Apr 2019 – Apr 2020.
Your Income vs UK Average Salary
You earn £11,972 more than the UK average salary.
The UK average salary was £28,028 in 2017. This means that on average, the monthly NET salary is £1,870 in the UK.(source: BBC)
Your Hourly Rate vs UK Living Wage
Your hourly rate is £10.23 higher than the UK real living wage.
The UK real living wage is £9.00.(source: Living Wage Foundation)
UK Tax rates 2019-2020
- Personal allowance: £12,500
- Basic tax at 20%: £12,501 - £50,000
- Higher rate tax at 40%: £50,001 - £150,000
- Highest rate tax at 45%: £150,001 and over

Oct. 4, 2012 Daily Beast
The country's top human-rights journalists are being threatened and killed in broad daylight in a brutal campaign of intimidation to stop them from reporting on torture and killings in the Caucasus—and some think the government is to blame.
Tatayana (Tanya) Lokshina reported on egregious human-rights abuses in Russia for years. Only her close friends knew of the risks she faced working on long trips in conflict regions in the Caucasus and Central Asia. Her priority was to tell the stories of people in trouble, and she never talked about the personal danger she often found herself in. But this week, Lokshina—who is now the deputy director for Human Rights Watch in Moscow and a recipient of the Andrei Sakharov journalism award (Russia's equivalent of a Pulitzer)—couldn't keep silent any longer. She invited journalists to a press conference and declared that she was being followed around the city, and that somebody had been sending her text messages threatening to murder her unborn baby.
The author of the text messages seemed well informed about the 39-year-old Lokshina's upcoming trip to Dagestan, as well as of her pregnancy term, the sex of her baby and her home address—"operative information that could be obtained only by special services," Lokshina said. One of the text messages arrived right at the moment when her husband's airplane took off. "Now you are alone," it said.
Reporters Without Borders activists demonstrate with photos of (from left) Russian human-rights lawyer Stanislav Markelov, Novaya Gazeta journalist Anastasiya Baburova, and Anna Politkovskaya on Jan. 21, 2009, in Berlin after Markelov and Baburova were gunned down in Moscow. (MICHAEL KAPPELER)
There is something seriously wrong in Russia: the country's most-experienced and famous human-rights reporters are being threatened and killed in broad daylight. Anna Politkovskaya was shot dead in the elevator of her Moscow apartment building in October 2006; Stanislav Markelov and Anastasia Baburova were killed on the street, less than half a mile from the Kremlin, in January 2009. The same year, in August, a group of men kidnapped Natalya Estemirova from her house in Grozny, killed her and left her body on the side of a road. Last December, Khadjimurat Kamalov, a publisher, was shot outside of his Chernovik newspaper office in Dagestan. Each of them had received similar threats prior to the day of their murder.
In a video presented at the press conference, Human Rights Watch's executive director Kenneth Roth assured the Russian government that "these threats will have precisely the opposite effect—that Human Rights Watch will double our efforts to do our work in Russia, to defend the rights of the Russian people against this crackdown and other threats that they encounter." He also vowed that the perpetrators behind the threats to Lokshina and her child would be brought to justice. Human Rights Watch has been working in Russia for 20 years, "in much darker times," Roth said, "and will certainly continue." Read More

Thought it might be a good day for some Gossip Nostalgia. Let me sound like a grandmother now when I say that back then, for those of you who weren't around or don't remember (what?!?!), these two were all of It and Everything. Look at their faces. They had no idea.

fied is a vile phrase, but you shall heare: thus in her
excellent white bosome, these &c.
O deere

How say you by that, st
he knew me not at first, a said I was a Fishmonger, a is farre gone,
and truly in my youth, I suffered much extremity for loue, very
neere this. Ile speake to him againe. What doe you reade my
Slanders sir; for the Satericall Rogue saies here, that old
men haue grey beards, that their faces are wrinkled, their eies
purging thick Amber, and Plum‐tree Gum, and that they haue a
Prince of Denmarke.
sir though I most powerfully and potently beleeue, yet I hold it
not honestie to haue it thus set down, for your selfe sir shall grow
old as I am; if like a Crab you could goe backeward.
Indeed that's out of the aire; how pregnant sometimes
his replies are, a happines that often madnes hits on, which reason
and sanctitie could not so prosperously be deliuered of. I wil leaue
him and my daughter. My Lord, I will take my leaue of you.
You cannot take from me any thing that I will not more
willingly part withall: except my life, except my life, except my
Begger that I am, I am euer poore in thankes, but I thank
you, and sure deare friends, my thanks are too deare a halfpeny:
were you not sent for? is it your owne inclining? is it a free visita
tion? come, come, deale iuftly with me, come, come, nay speake.
Any thing but to'th purpose; you were sent for, and there
is a kind of confession in your lookes, which your modesties haue
not craft enough to cullour, I know the good King and Queene
haue sent for you.
That you must teach me: but let me coniure you, by the
rights of our fellowship, by the consonancie of our youth, by the
obligation of our euer preserued loue; and by what more deare
a better proposer can change you withal, be euen and direct with
mee whether you were sent for or no.
I will tell you why so shall, my anticipation preuent your
discouerie & your secrecie to the King and Queen moult no fea
ther, I haue of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth,
forgon all custome of exercises, and indeede it goes soe heauily
with my disposition, that this goodly frame the earth, seems to me
a sterill promontorie, this most excellent Canopie the aire, looke
you, this braue ore
ted with golden fire, why it appearth nothing to mee but a foule
and pestilent congregation of vapours. What peece of worke is
a man, how noble in reason, how infinit in faculties, in forme and
moouing, how expresse and admirable in action, how like an An
gell in apprehension, how like a God: the beautie of the world;
the parragon of Annimales, & yet to me, what is this quintessence
of dust? man delights not mee nor woman neither, though by
your smiling you seeme to say so.
To thinke my Lord if you delight not in man, what Lenton
entertainment the plaiers shall receiue from you, wee coted them
on the way, and hether are the coming to offer you seruice.
He that plaies the King shall be
welcome, his Maiest
shall haue tribute on mee, the aduenterous Knight shall vse his
foyle and target, the louer shall not sing gratis, the humorous man
shall end his part in peace and the Ladie shall say her mind freely:
or the blanke verse shall hault for't. What players are they?
Euen those you were wont to take such delight in, the Tra
gedians of the Citie.
It is not very strange, for my Vncle is King of Denmarke,
& those that would make mouths at him while my father liued,
giue twentie, fortie, fiftie, a hundred duckets a peece, for his Pic
ture in little: s'bloud there is something in this more then natu
rall, if Philosophy could fin d it out.
Gentlemen you are welcome to
Elsonoure, your hands,
come then th'apportenance of welcome is fashion and ceremo
nie; let mee comply with you in this garb: let my extent to the
Plaiers, which I tell you must showe fairely outwards, should
more appeare like entertainment then yours? you are welcome:
but my Vncle‐father, and Aunt‐mother, are deceaued.

Why as by lot God wot, and then you know it came to
passe, as most like it was; the first rowe of the pious chanson will
show you more, for looke where my abridgement comes.
You are welcome maisters, welcome all, I am glad to see

valanc'd since I saw thee last, com'st thou to beard mee in

I heard thee speake me a speech once, but it was neuer ac

not the million, t'was cauiary to the general, but it was as I recei
ued it and others, whose iudgements in such matters cried in the
top of mine, an excellent play, well digested in the scenes, set
downe with as much modesty as cunning. I remember one said
there were no sallets in the lines, to make the matter sauory, nor
no matter in the phrase that might indite the author of affection,
but cald it an honest method, as wholesome as sweet, and by very
much, more handsome then fine: one speech in't I chiefly loued,
Æneas talke to Dido, and there about of it especially when
he speakes of

Tis well, Ile haue thee speake out the rest of this soone,
good my Lord will you see the Players well bestowed; doe you
heare, let them be well vsed, for they are the abstract and breefe
Chronicles of the time; after your death you were better haue a
bad Epitaph then their ill report while you liue.
Gods bodkin man, much better, vse euery man after his
desert, and who shall scape whipping, vse them after your owne
honour and dignitie, the lesse they deserue the more merrit is in
your bounty. Take them in.
Weele hau't to morrow night, you could for need study
a speech of some dosen lines, or sixteene lines, which I would set
downe and insert in't: could you not?
Very well, follow that Lord, and looke you mocke him
not. My good friends, Ile leaue you till night, you are welcome
I truly, for the power of beautie will sooner transforme
honestie from what it is to a Baud, then the force of honesty can
translate beautie in his likenesse, this was sometime a Paradoxe,
but now the time giues it proofe, I did loue you once.
Get thee a Nunry: why would'st thou be a breeder of
sinners? I am my self indifferent honest, but yet I could accuse me
of such things, that it were better my Mother had not borne mee:
I am very proud, reuengeful, ambitious, with more offences at my
beck, then I haue thoghts to put them in, imagination to giue thē
shape, or time to act them in: what should such fellowes as I do
crauling betweene Earth and Heauen? we are arrant Knaues, be
lieue none of vs. Go thy waies to a Nunry, VVher's your father?
If thou doost mary, Ile giue thee this plague for thy dow
ry, be thou as chast as Ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape
calumny, get thee to a Nunry, farwell. Or if thou wilt needs mar
ry, marrie a foole, for wisemen know well enough what monsters
you make of them: to a Nunry go, and quickly to, farwell.
I haue heard of your paintings well enough, God hath
giuen you one face, and you make your selues another, you gig &
amble, and you list you nickname Gods creatures, and make your
wantonnesse ignorance; go to, Ile no more on't, it hath made me
mad, I say we will haue no mo marriage, those that are married
already, all but one shall liue, the rest shall keepe as they are: to a
Nunrie goe.
Speake the speech I pray you as I pronounc'd it to you,
trippingly on the tongue, but if you mouth it as many of our

with this speciall obseruance, that you ore‐step not the modeftie
of Nature: For any thing so ore‐done, is from the purpose of
playing, whose end both at first, and now, was and is, to hold as

and pressure: Now this ouer‐done, or come tardie off though it
makes the vnskilfull laugh, cannot but make the iudicious grieue,

heare this piece of worke?
O God! your onely Iigge‐maker, what should a man do

Your wisedome should shew it selfe more richer to sig

Nay good my Lord, this curtesie is not of the right breed,
if it shall please you to make me a wholsome answer, I will do
your mothers commandement, if not, your pardon and my re
turne, shall be the end of businesse.
Make you a wholsome answer, my wits diseasd, but sir, such
answer as I can make, you shal command, or rather as you say, my
mother, therefore no more, but to the matter, my mother you say.
Then thus she saies, your behauio

Good my Lord, what is your cause of distemper, you'do

why do you go about to recouer the wind of me, as if you would

Why look you now how vnworthy a thing you make of
me, you would play vpon me, you would seem to know my stops,
you would pluck out the heart of my mysterie, you would sound
me from my lowest note to my compasse, and there is much mu
sique, excellent voice in this little organ, yet cannot you make it
call me what Instrument you will, though you fret me not, you
cannot play vpon me. God blesse you sir.
That I can keep your counsaile and not mine owne, be
sides to be demanded of a spunge, what replication should be
made by the sonne of a King.
I sir, that sokes vp the Kings countenance, his rewards, his
authorities, but such Officers do the King best seruice in the end,
he keepsthem like an apple in the corner of his iaw, first mouth'd
to be laft swallowed, when he needs what you haue gleand, it is

I hope all will be well, we must be patient, but I cannot

I shall, first asking you pardon, thereunto recount the occasion of

It must be so offended, it cannot be else, for here lies the
point, if I drowne my selfe wittingly, it argues an act, and an act

him, and drowne him, he drownes not himselfe, argall, he that is
not guilty of his owne death shortens not his owne life.
Why there thou saist, and the more pitty that great folke
should haue countenance in this world to drowne or hang them
selues, more then their euen Christen: Come my spade, there is no
ancient gentlemen but Gardners, Ditchers, and Graue‐makers,
they hold vp
Adams profession.
I like thy wit well in good faith, the gallowes dooes well,
but how dooes it well? It dooes wel to those that do ill, now thou

this Asse now ore‐reaches; one that would circumuent God,
might it not?
Or of a Courtier, which could say good morrow my
Lord: how dost thou sweet Lord? This might be my Lord such

Why een so, and now my Lady worms Choples, and knockt

There's another, why may not that be the skul of a Lawyer?
where be his quiddities now, his quillities, his cases, his tenures,
and his tricks? why dooes he suffer this mad knaue now to knock
him about the sconce with a dirty shouell, and will not tell him of
his actions of battery: hum, this fellow might be in's time a great
buyer of Land, with his Statutes, his recognisances, his fines, his
double vouchers, his recoueries, to haue his fine pate full of fine
durt: will vouchers vouch him no more of his purchases and
doubles, then the length and breadth of a payre of Indentures?
The very conueyances of his Lands will scarcely lye in this box,
and must th'inheritor himselfe haue no more? ha.
How absolute the knaue is, we must speak by the card, or
haue took note of it, the age is grown so picked, that the toe of the
pesant comes so neere the heele of the Courtier he galls his kybe.

your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a

Sir, his definement suffers no perdition in you, though I
know to diuide him inuentorially, would dizzie th'arithmetick
of memorie, and yet but raw neither, in respect of his quick saile,
but in the verity of extolment, I take him to be a soule of great ar

dixion of him, his semblable is his mirrour, and who els would
trace him, his vmbrage, nothing more.
The King sir hath wagerd with him six
Barbary horses
against the which he has impaund as I take it six
French Rapiers
and Poinards, with their assignes, as girdle, hanger and so. Three
of the carriages in faith, are very deare to fancie, very responsiue
to the hilts, most delicate carriages, and of very liberall conceit.
The phrase would be more
German to the matter if we
could carrie a Canon by our sides, I would it might bee hangers
till then, but on, six
Barbary horses against six French Swords their
assignes, and three liberall conceited carriages, that's the
bet against the
Danish, why is this all you call it?
The King sir, hath laid sir, that in a dozen passes betweene
your selfe and him, he shall not exceed you three hits, he hath laid
on twelue for nine, and it would eome to immediate triall, if your
Lordship would vouchsafe the answere.
Sir I will walke heere in the hall, If it please his Maiesty,
it is the breathing time of day with me, let the foiles be brought,

Washington State University researchers will study wolf and cattle behavior in an effort to minimize conflicts.
The Washington State Legislature provided $600,000 for wildlife conflict research in the university budget over the next two years, said Randy Baldree, agricultural extension program director. Half of the budget will be spent each year.
Rob Wielgus, director of WSU's Large Carnivore Conservation Laboratory, said the goal is to reduce wolf-livestock conflicts and follow the state and federal wolf recovery plans.
"About 20 percent of wolf packs engage in some type of livestock depredation in any given year, and 80 percent don't," Wielgus said. "That begs the question — Why do some wolf packs engage in livestock depredations and others don't?"
The researchers will examine environmental factors like pack size, pack composition, history in an area, herd composition, timing of depredations and natural prey population to see which factors increase the risk of wolf attacks on livestock.
The researchers will track wolves with global positioning satellite collars and put "mortality-sensing" ear tags on 360 calves that notify researchers of a death. The two monitoring methods provide a double check and a reliable indicator of livestock depredation, he said.
Wielgus expects to track 18 wolves in six packs. He said it will be the largest and most representative sample ever obtained in a wolf-livestock study.
"We're going to follow all these wolves to find out exactly when and who they are eating," Wielgus said.
Wielgus also plans to examine side effects on the livestock, including lower calf weaning weights and pregnancy rates and stress indicators.
Wielgus said the research will also measure the effectiveness of nonlethal methods of managing wolves such as the use of fladry, range riders, cowbells and guard dogs.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's programs to compensate farmers for depredations and kill problem wolves will continue as normal, he said.
Jack Field, executive vice president of the Washington Cattlemen's Association, said the industry initially had concerns about WSU's interpretation of the budget provision. Association board members were worried about the potential weakening of the wolf plans by replacing lethal methods of control with nonlethal methods, Field said. But, he said, "We strongly support efforts to mitigate and deter conflict before it occurs."
The association wants to find the most effective control methods, Field said.
Wielgus expects the research to increase in the field during calving season in February and intensify when depredations tend to be most severe, during the grazing season from May to October.

I have a dream....
Service puppy on a stick.....
One main reason for mainline build suggestion is the support for ARM devices. With a pair of $25 ARM based HDMI sticks with WiFi we could use any TV with a HDMI port as a monitor. Two Exactly the same stick have a built-in push button and a generic USB powered 12v battery adapter for the wheelchair. There are also portable HDMI projectors that will run directly off of 12v battery. just point the wheelchair toward a blank whitewall, which in a MDA clinic is always available, I've spent hours awaiting my appt counting wall dimples... So was everybody else. I was actually jealous of the guys with the wheelchairs that could lay flat and sleep.

Post subject: Wary as Test bed
Hi All,
Ted Dog, I like your dream. Nice goal to shoot for. Just a couple of things to consider: I'm not sure anyone currently involved with the project has the expertise for it; or even a woof-build. I've remastered pups many times, which means anyone can learn to remaster. But, then again, maybe with ARM as a vehicle it will catch Barry K's interest, or someone like technosaurus.
Most of my exploring has been done using precise, or more accurately, jejy69's apt-get-test pup to obtain debs to build SFSes to test in pemau's non-PAE precise, and occasionally a Slacko. [Currently exploring mouseless window-managers]. I can run any precise or slacko on a 12 year old Thinkpad, as long as it doesn't use a PAE kernel. I have little experience with Wary, but have worked a lot with Saluki and Carolina. Both these are based on Racy, which --if I recall correctly-- is based on Wary. Unfortunately, most applications built for Saluki and Carolina won't run in precise or slacko, and vice versa.
So I think our next step would be to test magoo, xvkbd, nav and radar under wary and see if they work, and if not are they fixable?
On second thought, what we should probably do is a three fold attack on the project: (1) produce a remasater of magoo --as it almost ready, albeit still using QWERTY; and (2) work of Wary as a interim solution while (3) keeping ARM as an ultimate objective. A bad solution is better than no solution. And I keep thinking about the many people currently locked out of communicating with the rest of the world. 29 keypresses to type the world Leafpad is bad. Being unable to type at all is worse. Do nothing for 2 minutes. Then think about an 8 hour day of being unable to do anything.

Post subject: I Code when motivated
Ive Built puppy flavors before woof and I plan to build after woof, however, I hate to steal thundar from the younger coders so I ENCOURAGE and Wait, this project moved quickly and nicely along. I have a few ARM machines and even wrote the first non BK ARM pet for a needed function to get the ball rolling. I know this is something I could do, just awaiting price points and a finish line to appear. I already have an ARM based computer and a projector running from a Wheelchair type battery under 30watt

Ted Dog, if you could PM me about ARM Puppies -- I do NOT want to derail this thread, and I have sort of a request re: Puppy on ARM, which I'd like to talk to you about. Nobody's really taken it up, and although I have hunches I've never really confirmed why.

Post subject: Wary -- Inital Report
Hi All,
Initial report regarding Wary. Frugal install of Wary 5.5. Both Magoo & xvkbd work. Will have to re-read posts on Nav & Radar so I'll know what I'm doing before working with them.
Couple of things I've noticed so far. Magoo 129 pet opens in the center of the desktop. I think xvkbd does as well. As did Abiword. At any rate, when applications overlap they have to be moved: a problem if you limited to a single press. Perhaps we should be considering some kind of windows manager which can be operated by keyboard commands. Iguleder built cwm (calm) a while back in Puppy 5.3 and Slackware.
, but there are others. From what I've read about cwm, it's highly configurable: Maybe enough so that it would be possible to build an onscreen keyboard with keys optimized for single-stick.
Unless I've missed something, to type into Abiword it has to be opened --which is why I like Magoo's nice big icon: easy targets-- xvkbd's focus button must be pressed, Abiword clicked on to focus on it, and then mouse returned to xvkbd to begin typing. Lots of work. Should be an easier way.
Pressing F12 on xvkbd will open a drop down Programs-Menu, but I haven't figured out how to use it. Typing anything closes it. Direction keys should have worked. Otherwise, focusing and lots of mouse moves are needed to launch an application from the Start Menu. Best, of course, that most used applications be callable from Mago.
Ted Dog: Great to hear you have technical expertise. My apologies for the unintentional slighting of your ability. Guess I've been wondering around the wrong threads. It's a big Forum. And starhwk, please consider after emailing Ted Dog opening a thread dedicated to Arming the disabled. Perhaps there are others who also have been waiting, knowing too little to do anything other than appear ignorant. One of the great things about this Forum is that even if by no other means by Crown-Sourcing and experimentation we can stumble forward. The only stupid question is the one which wasn't asked.

mikeslr, I'll be honest with you -- I can't program to save my life. I know a teeny tiny bit of an old M$ copy of BASIC that came with Windows 3.1, and that's as far as I get. I can sort of read bash scripts and that sort of stuff, but show me any
code and I'm completely lost in seconds.
All I wanted from Ted Dog was to see if he could make a version of Puppy that runs on a particularly inexpensive Android Cloud Stick I have, that I traded for on another forum. I honestly don't know what I'd do with it even if he could get that working, as I don't have a monitor with HDMI or even DVI (same basic signal, different number of pins) with which to use the thing. I've plenty of VGA monitors -- just, the only thing in my house with DVI is my much-neglected TV set, and I've no idea if that connector even works! (There are other dead ports on this TV.) I'd have to buy an adapter, either way...
When it comes to computers, I'm about 99% hardware. The 1% that's left over is my software skills, and they're pretty sorry.
It's probably just as well that the Arduino solution I was babbling about didn't get picked -- it would've taken me
at least
a year to learn to code Arduino stuff...

Post subject: More Questions
Sorry to ask yet more questions but I omitted to ask about the age of the kit that may be available.
Also can you give an indication of the following in rough percentage terms?
1. Users for who head tracking would be the only option.
2. Users who could cope with both the switch solution and head tracking.
3. Only cope with the switch solution due to lack of muscular control.
4. Have poor vision.
5. Use Google voice search.
With regard to webcam mouse control, do not get too excited as it may yet not prove possible with Puppy. It would however be the icing on the cake if we can get it to work. We are a persistent bunch on this forum and someone may be able to compile Eviacam 1.6.1 and its prerequisites (opencv & wxwidgets) from source at a later date. I have tried and failed but lack experience in that area.
There are reports of
(which is free) working well with Ubuntu. It is available as a PPA. In addition there is the option of Camera Mouse-2013 with Windows 7 which I have tested and works superbly. That does require a fairly recent PC with 2GB of memory but may be the only option for some.

Post subject: starhawk -- your a couple of steps ahead of me
Hi starhawk,
Having played with a couple of programming languages, I know every one has to have a structure and almost every one has to be able to accomplish the same things. So I have sort of a reading knowledge of programming languages especially if I can access a computer-language to English dictionary. After that, its trial-and-error.

It's more difficult than that, for me.
QBASIC is the language I sort of started to teach myself, way back in 1997 or so -- and it's really all I know to any significant degree. When I was learning QBASIC, line numbers and GOTO instructions were all the rage -- QBASIC is at its heart a "procedural" language. As I understand it, that means that the computer primarily executes instructions in the order that they occur, with little room for deviation. Line 12 always comes before line 13.
Around the turn of the century and amid the Y2K bug fears, programmers changed their preferences to something I don't really even understand at all called "object-oriented" programming. I don't know a thing about it, except that the line numbers and GOTOs are all gone.
As a humorous aside -- a college professor of mine admitted to creating his own Y2K bug, as a practical joke to play on a friend of his. It was an MS Word macro -- a sort of mini-program that ran within Word -- that changed every 'y' character typed into a 'k' character. Somehow I doubt that the recipient of this 'bug' was nearly as amused as my professor, but it is an amusing story to mention.

Post subject: xvkbd's word-completion
Hi All,
I Misunderstood ETP's reference to xvkbd's word-completion. ETP mentioned that it was a simple text file. It's just a list of common words and phrases that as a user types, if word-completion is turned on, will appear in a dialog box enabling the user to choose from among them.This would be a great feature, significantly reducing both time and keypresses required to compose any text. Less of if you have to manually create the list. Googling indicated that xvkbd, by default, looks for the file at "/usr/share/dict/words," but doesn't include it. I felt it odd that Tom Sato, having created such an impressive application, would leave it out. I'm not sure why I decided to google the "word" in the foregoing quote. Early morning; hadn't had my second cup of coffee. But it turned out that is the standard location for such list in Unix systems. A little further searching revealed that "The Big Boys" maintain packages. Ubuntu calls their packages "wordlist." Links to wordlist for various incarnation of Ubuntu can be found here:
. I doubt if there's much difference between the wordlists for hardy and those for raring. But for American, British and Canadian English Ubuntu offers four choices ranging in size from small to insane. We should probably test which size would be most productive in our setting. These lists do not include common phrases; only words. I chose raring-large, downloaded and dissembled it. Sure enough a wordlist file (albeit, with a more descriptive name) was found in /usr/share/dict/. It contained over 163,000 words listed one line at a time. It would be fairly easy to repackage xvkbd to include a wordlist, or offer alternative pets.
Starhawk: Basically --no pun intended-- they didn't change much. In qbasic you'd write a subroutine which the program would call by going to the line number where the subroutine began. "Modern" languages still use sub-routines, but you "define" them, that is by giving each of them a name; and the program calls them when their respective names appears in the main program routine. And, of course, one sub-routine can call another sub-routine.
Professors are as crazy as the rest of us. "Professional Ethics" was required course in Law School and, consequently, was given in a large lecture room. It had two doors. The professor would pace as he lectured. I didn't get much out of the course. He covered a good third of the material while he was in the hall, pacing out one door and in the other.

Post subject: Word Completion & Exploring Radar
Hi All,
I guessed right. Renaming the wordlist I extracted from the Ubuntu deb as "word" --without the quotes and placing it in a directory where xvkbd expected to find it worked. Can't attach a pet, it exceeds our forums new size limitations. Remind me to find out about why they exist and see if there's a better solution.
Created a pet of the new radar and installed it along with xvkbd in the Magoo pup. Can confirm greengeeks statement that they work fine together. Though they'll take some getting used to. But experimenting resulted in two helpful discoveries: while on a letter pressing Dbl-Click will generate two keystokes, such as ee oo ss etc.; and presing Rt-Click will generate a capital letter, reducing the need to use the shift key. I, hopefully, have attached the pet of radar7. Note, the executable has a symlinked in the Startup folder. If you don't want it to run immediately on bootup, delete that symlink.
Finally having tried radar, I see now that it provides for auto-scrolling and enables 360 degree directional control of mouse movements. Wish I could take back some suggestions which clearly demonstrated my ignorance. Just have to remember not to make them again in the next cycle of existence.
Radar's display nicely, automatically, positions itself at the bottom right corner of the screen. Xvkbd has to be moved, and can be resized, so that it runs from the desktop drive icons to Radar's display. There should be some way to have it open there. A user, on bootup, should be able to begin working immediately and not have to waste time moving applications around.
To do: Print out a couple of xvkbd's keyboard layouts files and see if by comparing them I can figure out how xvkbd uses them which would enable creation of a customized keyboard. Test xvkbd, radar and magoo on Wary.

Nice find! That goes a long way toward reducing keystrokes. Typing annoying words like "committee" or "Mississippi" won't be so tiresome now

Post subject: Further Exploration of NavBar and Radar
Hi All,
Can confirm that Magoo, xvkbd, radar and NavBar work well with Magoo Pup and Wary 5.5. Unless the speed of NavBar is higher than that of radar, the latter seems easier to use. Still have the problem of having to click xvkbd's focus button, then the app into which I desire to type, then return to the keyboard before I can begin typing. But was happy to discover that with Abiword in focus, both NavBar and radar enabled the use of xvkbd's Alt and Ctrl keys so that Abiwords functions could be called via keyboard commands. Not sure if NavBar's "Drag" command is supposed to enable the dragging of a window, or if so, how, Attempt to do so wasn't successful. Didn't try doing that with Radar.
Made a pet of NavBar but won't upload it at this time. Perhaps if both came in the form of SFSes, they could be exited without the current complexity. Of course, the only reason to exit one would be to load the other.
The problem with using either is that they require the user to look in three places: the mouse-controlling-app, the mouse-curser, and the application focused on. Even without figuring out how to create an entirely different keyboard for xvkbd, xvkbd's built in customization routine may make it possible to map NavBar to xvkbd's function keys, including changing the symbols displayed.
And while I like Magoo, it will frequently be hidden by open applications. I wonder if substituting fbpanel (which can remain hidden at an edge until moused over) to provide a launch vehicle for favorite apps might not have an advantage.
Real life will keep me from further exploring and reporting for a couple of days.
Until then, have fun.

Subject description: Update plus beta ISO for testing/experimentation
Firstly on behalf of this thread, can I express our thanks to
for all the work he has done and continues to do on Navbar & Radar. Without his superb coding skills we would still be scratching our heads.
Webcam Control
I am sorry to report that I have been unable to persuade Camera-Mouse 2011 to work under wine and dotnet. This feature will have to go on the back burner unless and until someone steps up to the plate and compiles Eviacam for puppy.
This was obviously designed for people who could make full use of a mouse but not a traditional keyboard. The main issue for our purposes is launching the word completion panel which requires a "drag", then way too precise mouse movement to launch it. Perhaps someone could email the designer to request a menu option to have it permanently displayed?
The Pup With No Name Beta ISO (tpwnn)
This should be available by the weekend.
I had been hoping to use Precise 5.5 as a base but was driven back to using Magoo (Netbook) V6 for a number of reasons. Despite using the same kernel (k3.2.29), it plays better with old hardware and for some reason runs cooler. It has no DHCP problems and was originally intended for people new to computers. It therefore fits our target group better.

I have finally managed to improve my remastering skills to the point where I got a functional pup iso using radar 0.8 and have started a new thread for my "SwitchPup" trials:
This will just be somewhere that I can post my personal variations on the "one-switch" idea, rather than cluttering this current thread which is developing quite nicely in a variety of directions.

Stay active, eat healthy to enjoy winter
By Susan J. Marks, Pure Matters
Start by staying physically active, says Gary J. Kennedy, M.D., past president of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry. "The rule of thumb is that a senior needs about a half hour of exercise every day," he says.
Keep it simple
That doesn't mean you have to take up jogging or head for the basketball court. Exercise can be as simple as a half-hour walk on most days of the week at a pace that lets you carry on a conversation and not get out of breath. Talk with your doctor about an exercise plan that's right for you. Then make it part of your daily routine, Dr. Kennedy says.
Even if you're living with a disability, Dr. Kennedy says, you can stay active. Try range-of-motion calisthenics, for instance.
If it's icy or frigid outside, you can work out indoors, he says. If it's not icy, you can dress warmly and head outside.
Physical activity isn't just good for your body. Research shows that regular aerobic activity -- the kind that raises your heart rate -- can reduce or prevent symptoms of depression and anxiety, says psychologist Kathy Hogan Bruen, Ph.D., senior director of prevention for the National Mental Health Association.
Dr. Kennedy suggests other ways that seniors can focus on "successful aging" in any season:
- Maintain social contacts. If you can't get out much, regular phone calls are a good way to keep in touch with others.
- Stay involved. That could include religious, social, or cultural events, such as prayer meetings. (Watching religious programs on television isn't the same thing, Dr. Kennedy adds.)
Focus on nutrition
Don't let winter take a bite out of your diet: Pay attention to nutrition, especially to getting enough fruits and vegetables. You can find a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables year round at the supermarket, or buy frozen fruits and vegetables to have them on hand if the weather turns bad and you can't get to the store.
Also, be sure you're getting enough calcium and vitamin D, available as supplements or in fortified, ready-to-eat cereals. Omega-3 fatty acids may help your heart health, so be sure your diet includes a little bit of fish, nuts (specifically walnuts), and soybeans, says Susan Moores, R.D., a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.
If you'd like to learn more about good nutrition, sign up for a class at a local hospital or through a community education program. Have a meal with friends, says Moores. "Appetites seem to perk up when you enjoy company while you are eating."
