To give a bone, or not to give a bone? That is the question!
The debate over this is actually still raging on. You see, if you ask five different Veterinarians about their recommendation when it comes to feeding dog's bones, you are quite likely to get differing accounts!
The basic reason for no uniform recommendation is that it differs with each individual pet. Whether or not you at feed your mate bones as part of their diet is 100% in your control, so it's important that you make an informed decision and study the following:
Positives of feeding bones
- Improved dental health – chewing a bone really does help clean the teeth and reduce gingivitis and tartar (which unfortunately is such a common problem for our canine companions). Daily tooth brushing is a great and affective alternative to this.
- Mental stimulation – a great way to entertain your pet and alleviate boredom. Certainly not the only way, but a good way nonetheless.
Negatives of feeding bones
- Fractured teeth (chewing at hard bones really does this, it's common, it's painful, and often leads to tooth root abscesses requiring tooth removal under a general anaesthetic).
- Upset tummy – mainly with spoiled bones or a meaty bone left out for some time.
- Weight gain – marrow bones have a very high fat content and can lead to obesity or can trigger pancreatitis.
- Get stuck – bones can lodge anywhere- across the roof of the mouth, in the oesophagus on the way to the tummy, in the tummy and anywhere in the intestines after that.
- Constipation.
- Behavioural issues – aggression between dogs or towards kids/adults in the presence of bones.
If you've decided to risk the negatives and choose to feed your pooch bones, there are ways you can reduce (but not eliminate) adverse affects.
Pay homage to these rules
- Monitor your pet the WHOLE time they have a bone. This way you can seek veterinary help as soon as an issue arises.
- Bones must be fresh, straight from the fridge and have no offensive smell.
- Throw away the bone within a couple of hours of use.
- Always RAW, never cooked. Cooking bone changes its structure and makes them more easily splinter.
- Choose SOFT bones that are less likely to break the teeth. No marrow bones etc.
- Trim excess fat.
- Choose size appropriate bones for your pooch, i.e. don't feed a huge bone to a tiny dog.

The Granary was even dreamier than I imagined ! Had such a lovely peaceful stay. Such warm hosts, wonderful countryside, lovely being so near to al the animals on this working farm and the most delicious breakfast to wake up to – you can't beat fresh eggs and avocado AND space for us to do Yoga. If it was closer to London I would be down there every weekend. Thank you for a wonderful easter break.

The UK Construction Industry is in terminal decline after the government incorrectly bailed out unfashionable, neo-progressive rock act Marillion.
Owing to a simple typo, money intended for the troubled construction giant Carillion, is now lining the pockets of the former chart stars, whose records generally make Then Jericho's output seem like the eggs that were shat from a golden goose.
Meanwhile, current construction projects held by Carillion may never be completed due to former singer Fish's considerable lack of building site experience.
However, the band's loyal fanbase insist Fish's recent kitchen extension, the result of a collaboration with current singer Steve Hogarth and the drummer, is the best thing they've done since "Kayleigh".
Fish and co are now under pressure to meet Carillion's existing commitments, including a state-of-the-art hospital in Liverpool, rather than banging on about some eighties' bint who wears inappropriate footwear during a cold spell.
Carillion CEO, Simon Williams, said, "The UK requires a million new homes every single year, not some lank-haired fucker reminiscing about the cherry blossom in the market square."
And Fish, himself, admitted that while he would probably spend the money on a new recording studio, the mistake had left the country's construction fortunes in a perilous state.
"What happens to politically sensitive building projects like schools and jails?" he remarked. "What happens to loving on the floor in Belsize Park?"
He added, "To the people of Liverpool awaiting their shiny new hospital, I just wanna say I'm sorry.
"But I'm too scared to pick up the phone."


text: Date: MAY.1.2018 // Source: Clinical Laboratory News Topics: Delivery Methods/POCT, Personalized Medicine, Regulatory/Legal The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted marketing authorization to 23andMe for its Personal Genome Service Genetic Health Risk (GHR) report for select variants of BRCA1 and BRCA2. The agency categorized 23andMe's test as a class II device after reviewing it through the de novo premarket pathway, a regulatory pathway for novel, low-to-moderate risk devices that the agency deems similar to previously cleared or approved devices. Along with this authorization, FDA is also now establishing special controls to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for this test. This is the first direct-to-consumer test to report on three specific BRCA1/BRCA2 gene mutations that are most common in people of Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jewish descent. These three mutations are present in about 2% of Ashkenazi Jewish women, but they are not the most common BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations in the general population and rarely occur in other ethnic populations. The test analyzes DNA from a self-collected saliva sample, and the accompanying report describes if a woman is at increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, and if a man is at increased risk of developing breast or prostate cancer. Because there are more than 1,000 known BRCA mutations, however, a negative result from this test does not rule out the possibility that an individual carries other BRCA mutations that increase cancer risk. FDA is requiring 23andMe to educate consumers about the test and emphasize that consumers and healthcare professionals should also not use the test results to determine any treatments, including anti-hormone therapies and prophylactic removal of breasts or ovaries. Such decisions require confirmatory testing and genetic counseling.

The fact that the Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office ("BPTO") has built a huge patent backlog over the years has become noteworthy, especially considering that 65.2 percent of patent applications take over 10 years to be decided, according to the BPTO's Strategic Plan for 2018-2021. Naturally, this extensive term to have a patent application examined is a cause of concern for national and international patent owners and inventors who want to protect their inventions in Brazil. After all, the patent owners cannot enforce their exclusivity rights before the patent application is granted and the technology may have become obsolete during the 10 or more years since the filing. Even though they may seek damages against those who unduly used their technology during the time it was being analyzed by the patent office, it can be hard or even impossible to quantify the losses suffered during this stage.
Obviously under a lot of pressure, the BPTO has been promising that they will reduce the patent backlog for years. However, it still has not been significantly changed. Hopefully, this year the BPTO's measures will start proving to be effective as the patent office has announced their "Patent Backlog Combat Plan" last week.
In short, the main part of the plan consists of incorporating searches already performed by other countries' patent offices on the patent applications, which according to the BPTO applies to 80 percent of the applications in the queue. The process will be that the BPTO will issue an office action for the applicants to respond to the documents cited by the other patent offices and, if necessary, adjust the application. If the applicant does not respond, the application will be cancelled. The BPTO stated that with these new measures they plan on reducing the average term for examining a patent to two years by 2021.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that the BPTO has also issued a new resolution (No. 239/2019) to simplify and standardize the procedures for the expedited patent applications, which includes the Patent Prosecution Highways ("PPH"). Patent owners just need to be careful to comply with the new procedures and codes being implemented by the BPTO.

CNN's 'Finding Jesus: Faith, Fact, Forgery' Premieres First Look (Video)
CNN will launch a new investigative series beginning March 1 about the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth.
"Finding Jesus: Faith, Fact, Forgery" explores mysteries of the Bible by investigating science and archaeology in order to dispel myths and reaffirm facts about Christianity. The six-part series will closely assess poignant moments in history such as the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.
The first investigation takes a look at the Shroud of Turin which is believed by some experts to be the cloth used as Jesus' burial wrap after his crucifixion. Viewers will also see the exploration of notable Gospel characters including Mary Magdalene, Judas and John the Baptist.
Expert commentary will feature the likes of Ivy-league academics from Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Oxford universities who will provide theological insight. They include Erwin MacManus, senior pastor of MOSAIC Los Angeles and Rev. Paul Raushenbush, executive religion editor of The Huffington Post.
Award-winning journalist and filmmaker David Gibson, who co-authored Finding Jesus along with Michael Mckinley, the book that inspired the CNN series, will also be featured.
The series comes amid a growing consumer appetite for faith-based films and television.
Last year, acclaimed actress and producer Roma Downey and Mark Burnett's "The Bible" miniseries reportedly became one of the "most watched" TV programs after drawing in a cumulative 50 million viewers. The 10-part miniseries scored a nod for three Primetime Emmy Awards.
"I think the Christian market of the film and television industry is very important," said Casimir Spencer, a Hollywood publicist who is working on "Finding Jesus."
"There are so many stories to tell regarding the Christian experience and the many different sub-cultures that exist within it," said Spencer. "I also think those who are not Christians can benefit from these stories as well. As humans, I think we are all inspired by stories of faith, hope, love and perseverance. These are qualities that help replenish the human spirit regardless of its attachment or non-attachment to organized religion."
"Finding Jesus" premieres via CNN on Sunday, March 1 at 9 p.m. ET.

Regular price
Burlap mesh base with aqua and cream accents, tan quatrefoil ribbon, aqua with white polka dots ribbon, tan/white chevron, aqua and white chevron ribbon, tan flex tubing and tan windowpane ribbon. Occasionally one of these exact ribbons will be out of stock but if so it will be replaced by one that is very similar and in the same color (usually just a different pattern). If you have questions regarding what is available please send me a message. Includes two starfish and two sand dollars and wooden sign.
This wreath measures approximately 24x24x7 and will be shipped in a large box to keep it from getting damaged - however it will probably need some "floofing" (very technical word) once it reaches it's final destination (just fluff out the mesh and straighten any ribbon that has gotten bent).
These wreaths are for indoors or out but best on a porch with some kind of overhang so it's not getting constantly drenched by rain.
Some elements have been attached with hot glue. Please take into consideration when hanging if in direct sun.

A few days ago, IBEW Local 98 began began protesting a restaurant owned by professional football player Jahri Evans. The organizers are accusing Evans of violating local construction wage standards and are advertising their dispute with "handbills."
What are handbills?
Walking down Fremont Street in Las Vegas is impossible without one or several characters putting a small business card with "questionable" adult entertainment advertisements in your hand. Some will slap papers to your chest, leaving you no choice but to grab the flyers.
On a different level, this action occurs on a regular basis by union member. But instead of shady characters pushing questionable entertainment, it is union representatives pushing a dispute with a local employer over working conditions. However, in either case the practice is known as i as handbilling.
When is Handbilling Legal?
For the most part, the First Amendment (and Supreme Court precedent) protects peaceful handbilling. So, while you might be annoyed by it, you can do little to stop a schlub handing out homemade flyers deriding your business. However, there are some exceptions:
- Persons passing out handbills are prohibited from impeding egresses or ingresses to your business. So, if union members were handbilling in front of a large chain grocery store, they are well within their rights provided disinterested shoppers were not impeded from entering the store.
- Handbilling is allowed only on publicly accessible walkways or areas generally open to the public and to others advertising a particular message. A union representative cannot come onto private property to distribute handbills.
- Handbilling loses its First Amendment protection when it turns violent, coercive, or otherwise significantly disruptive to regular business practices.
- Handbilling must be truthful and cannot contain willfully false information.
Why Handbilling Takes Place
Unions handbill for any number of reasons, allegedly unfair wages. Frequently, handbilling occurs when a non-union construction company is working on a project.
Handbilling is a common union activity. Generally, it is a constitutionally protected activity with certain exceptions. For the most part, it can be safely ignored. However, if it crosses the line, an offended owner can take action.

text: Curtis Duffy's Grace was one of the most highly anticipated (if not the most highly anticipated) restaurants to open last year. From the moment it was announced, food media — Grub Street included — covered every detail of Grace's debut. Despite being open just under a month, Grace has seemingly already solidified its place in the annals of restaurant greatness. Early reviews from both critics and diners alike, including Zagat naming Grace as one of the ten hottest restaurants in the world, have been nothing short of glowing. But here's the thing: As long as you don't want to go on a Friday or Saturday night, reservations are still fairly easy to come by. Day-of availability is often an option, thanks to cancellations. And the restaurant, which takes reservations two months out, has sporadic availability for many weeknights. All of this is to say, go now, while you still can, because it's just a matter of time before the national media converges on this place and makes it near-impossible to get in. [Earlier, Related]

Latest On Coronavirus COVID-19
Updated: Mar 17, 2020
Dear Friends,
Firstly, let me say this, our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this virus.
Secondly, as a follow up to our meeting on Sunday our Bellevue campus will be closed until further notice. Our virtual church will be streamed from our Kent campus.
But, for those who are inclined to attend in-person service, our kent campus is opened for the recording of our virtual church. In an effort to reduce the community spreading of this virus, and to take precautions in order to make our church a safe place of worship, our church leadership has decided to take the following steps to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. We believe as a church, information is important and we want you to be conscious that your health and safety is important to us as we continue to find a balance between safety and meeting your spiritual needs in worship.
This situation may continue well into May, affecting Easter. We are already planning for Easter service to happen online if necessary. New guests may not risk attending a new church during this time. So, we have to come up with creative ways to do outreach with the help of the Holy Spirit over this season. So, note the following:
Stay home if you feel sick and call your doctor Avoid close contact in large gatherings Wash your hands often with soap and warm water, or use an alcohol-based gel. Avoid touching face, eyes, nose and mouth etc. Avoid crowds, especially in poorly ventilated spaces. Your risk increases in such places
In addition...
1. We are implementing an online prayer for our local community, anyone that needs prayer can reach out to usWe also want to serve the most vulnerable in our community, so, we're serving anyone with immediate needs, they may reach out and we will see how we can accommodate them. Please serve, volunteer for this, you can also donate towards this effort. Don't worry, we will try to be safe and not put anyone at risk.
For example
a) Send someone an encouraging word or an inspiring book
b) Run errands or shopping for the disabled or more venerable people
c) Teach someone how to shop online
2. Before and during our streamed services we will continue to disinfect and clean our Kent campus sanctuary and things that are frequently touched, like doorknobs etc. and also make available hand sensitizers for public use
3. We will not encourage our usual meet and greet style (hugs and hand shakes) and will limit it to verbal greeting to avoid people from coming into too much close contact
4. We will change our usual tithes and offering style to one that doesn't require contact and encourage people to give online
5. We will also re-arranged our sanctuary seating to avoid people from coming into close contact with each other
6. We will be checking body temperature using thermometer upon arrival at our sanctuary.
7. We have invested into Live streaming technologies to make our services available to many who are going to be home anyway
8. Bible studies will now be done online via Zoom until further notice
Please refer to the CDC website for more information.
It is our prayer that this situation will soon be over. I know the Lord got this. He is holding our church in His hands and even though this is scary, He is still the Prince of Peace.
May grace continue to abound towards you.
Dr. Olu

Since 1986, Midwest Express Airlines has baked fresh chocolate chip cookies on every flight.
It's such a simple thing. And everyone talks about it. Those cookies are legend, and they create millions of positive conversations every year.
Is there one simple thing you can do to get your customers talking about you? It doesn't have to be a fancy campaign — it just has to be one great reason to talk.
(I'm thrilled that Frontier, the new owner of Midwest, has continued the tradition.)

Tisane trail
Yesterday in the AM I discovered an unknown downhill trail starting from Tisane Avenue in Frenchs Forest. It is around a 1km or a bit more and it goes straight to the Oxford Falls C3 church. There are some berms and small jumps that I have constructed there.
Anybody is welcome to work/maintain/ride the track and I think this place should be better known for how good it is!

Respectfully submitted by Bob Weinstein
Presented by Clifford Mishler to our May 14, 2003 meeting.
When Cliff was ten years old, a friend showed his collections of used U.S. and world-wide stamps, trying to interest Cliff in the hobby. Cliff would have none of it, however; the more the friend and the friend's mother tried, the more resistant Cliff became. Not even Linn's Stamp News could get his interest - until he saw a small ad from the Tatum Coin Co., offering approvals and ten pieces of WWII currency for only ten cents! He bought three of the first five or six coins sent on approval: a silver 3-cent piece for $2, a now-forgotten piece, and a 1 pice of Zanzibar dated 1299 ("Gee, that is old," was his first thought). Those early pieces caught his attention, and started his scrounging for information. His growing interest in coins was not broken when he found that year 1299 in the Moslem calendar corresponds to 1882AD; nor has that coin's virtually unchanged value 50 years later in Krause diminished his interest.
A recurring theme of Cliff's talk was, "Something very simple can have a big impact." A review of his examples shows it is no use trying to predict what might be the next big thing. Act upon your idea to fill a niche, and be very satisfied and surprised if it turns into "the next big thing."
As a new collector in 1950, his first sources of information were ANA's The Numismatist and Lee Hewitt's Numismatic Scrapbook. A selection of regional (club) publications was the other source available then, so he joined many clubs to obtain more information. At that time, coin collecting had been growing in popularity for some decades, thanks to two major developments: coin boards, and B. Max Mehl's advertisements.
Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Mehl's advertisements in the Sunday supplements of newspapers around the country raised awareness of coin collecting, even though no one ever took him up on his offer to buy a 1913 Liberty nickel. One of the ways he put information into people's hands was with his Star Rare Coin Encyclopedia which he sold for 10 or 15 cents each. Even today, estate sales with a small coin hoard sometimes are found with a copy of the enclopedia. The first coin board was produced by J.K. Post of Neenah, Wisconsin, and Whitman Publishing produced many of them starting in the 1930s. Lee Hewitt acknowledged that as the primary stimulus for collecting U.S. coins.
Even after some decades of growth the hobby still was limited, with few dealers and with few clubs outside of urban areas. Grading was a personal endeavor, and no S-mint coins were on the East Coast. The 1950s and 1960s were the heydey of clubs; not just coin clubs, but all sorts of clubs; people joined and participated, even if just for the social aspects. The creation of clubs was one solution to the problems of not much reliable information, and not much communication. Clubs sponsored most shows - commercial shows were a no-no.
In 1952, coin collector Chet Krause started Numismatic News in Iola, Wisconsin. With no contact with local collectors, Chet went looking for a communication medium; not finding one, he started one. At that time, the Wayte Raymond catalogs were venerable and the Red and Blue Books were the new kids on the block. At Whitman, Dick Yeoman said one pricipal, "Don't worry over something you have no control." To give us an idea of how the times have changed, Cliff mentioned that, at one point in the 1950s, everything that he could find on coin collecting would occupy less than three feet of shelf space; now, Krause Publications has 5 magazines, 50 book titles, and 3 shows just for numismatics.
Coin World started in the 1960s, and Cliff told how he and Margo Russell were the only members of the numismatic press among the 40-50 media people invited by the Treasury to view the gold through peep holes on the one day when the Treasury Department opened Ft. Knox, the nation's gold repository. Other events in the 1960s and 1970s were the removal of silver coinage, the start of the "clad" coinage that continues today, and the legalization of private gold ownership. Cliff recounted how Krause's promotion of a then-new Kennedy half dollar and a six-month subscription resulted in 30,000 new orders; but since banks gave only two Kennedy Halves to each customer, it took 3 to 4 weeks of scrambling to satisfy most subscribers.
Cliff then spent some time explaining how the mint marks came to be removed from U.S. coins, and how Representative Annunzio of Illinois and Senator Sparkman of Alabama helped restore those mint marks.
1972 saw the first edition of Krause's Standard Catalog of World Coins, with a first printing of 10,000 copies. As this "Redbook for foreign coins" was intended as a leadin for their new magazine on foreign coins, a post card was included in each copy and the books' buyers were encouraged to send in their names and addresses. After two more printings resulted in 30,000 copies sold in 18 months, Krause had a list of about 25,000 collectors; just in time for the introduction of World Coin News in 1974 with 20,000 subscribers. In order not to introduce a new numbering scheme, the catalog used Yeoman numbering with permission of Whitman.
The push in 1973 and 1974 for U.S. bicentennial coins started with just a dollar and half dollar planned, but fortunately a quarter dollar was added as that was the only coin to circulate widely; they turn up in change even today. The 1980s started with the boom & bust in gold and silver; 1982 saw the resumption of commemmorative U.S. coins, and the program continues today in spite of some abuses and criticisms. The 1987 coinage redesign push yielded no immediate changes, but the current state quarter program and the nickel program might be among its residual effects.
Looking ahead, Cliff sees a bright but specialized future for the hobby. Much more information tomorrow will lead to more satisfaction with the hobby, and the specialization trend will continue; collecting by date was popular in the 1800s, by date and mintmark in the 1900s, and by varieties within a type today. New collectors might start not with Lincoln cents, but possibly go directly to Standing liberty Quarters; that is partly due to the increased cost to get involved in the hobby today, and due to the fewer number of young people who collect coins. He feels that young people should be encouraged to collect something, anything, because someone introduced to collecting as a youngster is likely to collect something as an adult; the larger the collecting universe, the better we all are.
However, there are some changes that go along with this future. Although a wide knowledge base now is beneficial and desired, the specialized collector might never venture outside that one realm. Although the on-line resources (chat rooms, eBay, etc.) have diminished the classified ads in numismatic magazines, the editorial presentation needs to be strengthened to make up for the shrinking trader aspect. Cliff mentioned the two major traits used to help select the newest editor at Krause: be a collector (of something, to know that mindset), and be from a small-town newspaper because the hobby community, although geographically wide spread, is best viewed as a small social community.
To answer a member's question of why the 2002 catalog does not list all coins from 1999 through 2001, Cliff admitted that obtaining information is a challenge, as sources might not keep up with the latest material; he also mentioned that for 110 mints, it is easy to get information from 90, some effort is needed to find out everything from the next 10, and that working with the last 10 uses up most of the time. Cliff used a question about a second edition (not a reprint of the first edition) of Haxby to illustrate a fact of writing a book: ten years were spent working on the first edition; with only six years spent so far on the second edition, he is not sure if/when the second edition will appear.
Citing his lack of expertise with CDs and the Internet environment, Cliff declined to comment on how they might be used to address some of the publshing challenges mentioned above. He gave no timelines or promises, but he expressed confidence in the new Krause leaders who were picked for their knowledge of the new technologies.

Melissa Terras, Julianne Nyhan & Edward Vanhoutte (eds.) Defining Digital Humanities. A Reader. Farnham: Ashgate Publishing. 322 pp. ISBN 978-1-4094-6962-9.
Op vrijdag 29 november werd het boek Defining Digital Humanities. A Reader voorgesteld in University College London. De fine fleur van de internationale en Londonse Digital Humanities gemeenschap was aanwezig bij de boekpresentatie en de eerste exemplaren vonden vlot hun weg naar de DH specialisten, studenten en docenten. Defining Digital Humanities verzamelt de teksten over Humanities Computing en Digital Humanities die samen een overzicht bieden van het debat over de definitie van Digital Humanities. Het uitgangspunt van de samenstellers was niet om zelf een definitie te geven van Digital Humanities, maar om in deze reader de centrale teksten te verzamelen die wereldwijd worden gebruikt in universitaire opleidingen en inleidingen in Digital Humanities. Dit handige volume kan nu worden gebruikt als cursusmateriaal of als inleidende lectuur om tot een beter begrip te komen van de Digital Humanities.
Speciaal voor deze bundel schreef Edward Vanhoutte een nieuw hoofdstuk The Gates of Hell: History and Definition of Digital | Humanities | Computing dat gratis beschikbaar is op de bijhorende blog bij het boek http://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/definingdh/.

Edward Vanhoutte deflivers keynote lecture on the seminar-workshop Historical Documents, Digital Approaches: Mark-up, Analysis and Representation of Medieval Texts. Theory and Practice, University of Ghent, 6 September 2013
On Friday 6 September 2013, Edward Vanhoutte delivers the opening keynote on the second day of the three-day seminar-workshop Historical Documents, Digital Approaches: Mark-up, Analysis and Representation of Medieval Texts. Vanhoutte's lecture is entitled 'Which Digital Humanities?':
The Digital Humanities are buzzing, booming, and clearly becoming big business worldwide. Curiously, there is no consensus about what Digital Humanities means, does or comprises and appreciations of the term range from Matt Kirschenbaum's 'tactical convenience' to my 'hipster qualification of the Humanities'. This ontological confusion, however, is not new. Since the late 1940's, the application of computational tools and techniques in and for the humanities has mainly been the realm of practitioners and subject theorists who commonly approached the computer as a useful tool. Developing from warfare machine translation and cryptanalyis, computational linguistics managed to established itself as a discipline in its own right. On the other hand, all sorts of non-linguistic computational endeavours in the humanities advocated a methodological commons under the heading of 'Humanities Computing', whose theory and practice was often difficult to explain to non computing humanists. It is a misconception nowadays that the more common term 'Digital Humanities' solves this problem and replaces 'Humanities Computing'. What Digital Humanities does well, is providing a big tent for all digital scholarship in the Humanities. What Digital Humanities does not do well is explaining which activities and theories it houses under its shelter.
Edward Vanhoutte gives a paper on the conference Social, Digital, Scholarly Editing, University of Sakatoon, Canada, 12 July 2013
On Friday 12 July 2013, Edward Vanhoutte gives a paper on the international conference Social, Digital, Scholarly Editing (SDSE2013) at the University of Sakatoon in Canada. The impressive line-up of this conference presents the leading scholars in digital editing worldwide and include Barbara Bordalejo, Susan Brown, Ben Brumfield, Gabriel Egan, Paul Eggert, Paul Flemons, Alex Gil, James Ginther, Tuomas Heikkilä, Fotis Jannidis, Laura Mandell, Murray McGillivray, Allison Muri, Brent Nelson, Catherine Nygren,Dan O'Donnell, Roger Osbourne, Wendy Phillips-Rodriguez, Elena Pierazzo, Ken Price, Peter Robinson, Geoffrey Rockwell, Peter Shillingsburg, Ray Siemens, Michael Eberle-Sinatra, Joshua Sosin, Melissa Terras, Edward Vanhoutte, and Joris van Zundert. The titl of Vanhoutt's paper is 'A bag of words. Social perspectives on scholarly editing':
The text has long been the nucleus of scholarly editing which, in their print or digital products, serves two goals: establishing the best possible text for transmission and making sure it reaches as many people as possible. This transmissional and communcative function of the scholarly edition is joined by a third one when digital and social editing is applied: engaging. Not the authoritative fixed text of the scholary edition, but the social proces of textual interaction by its participants becomes the centre of social digital editing. This social function challenges the activities of experimental modelling, and reshapes the edition in a multifunctional and multidisciplinary bag of words to be explored by students and scholars.
Edward Vanhoutte geeft UCL Digital Humanities Month lezing aan het Centre for Digital Humanities van University College London (UCLDH), 16 april 2013
Op dinsdag 16 april 2013 geeft Edward Vanhoutte een lezing in het kader van de UCL Month of Digital Humanities. Samen met Ray Siemens (Virginia), Glen Roe (Oxford) en David Robey (Oxford) vult Edward Vanhoutte de affiche van de reeks evening lectures aan het wereldvermaarde UCL Centre for Digital Humanities. Vanhouttes lezing is getiteld 'The Gates of Hell: History and Definition of Digital | Humanities | Computing' en vindt plaats om 17u.30 in G31 Foster Court.
The origins of the Digital Humanities dating back to the late 1940's are quite well known, or so it seems. In The Gates of Hell, Edward Vanhoutte recounts the story of the use of computational techniques through history and frames its early history within the context of failure from the part of war technology. He will show how the use of the computer for electronic text analysis developed into Humanities Computing and how the schism with Computational Linguistics occurred. He will argue that these historical insights are important for our current thinking about where the Digital Humanities come from, what they are, and where they should head to. Vanhoutte will use Auguste Rodin's sculpture La porte de l'Enfer or The Gates of Hell as a metaphor throughout the lecture.

Edward Vanhoutte wins the Anton van Wilderode Remembrance Prize 2011 - 28 juni 2011
The Anton van Wilderode Remembrance Prize 2011 was awarded to Edward Vanhoutte for his edition of 'De moerbeitoppen ruischten', a documantary variorum edition. By courtesy of the family of the Anton van Wilderode, Hildegard Coupé presented nr. 23/125 van de kunstmap 'Brugge Brugge' from the Van Wilderode's archive to Edward. The publication, which was printed in 1992 on the handpress of Renaat Bosschaert, contains eight signed woodcarving-prints by Bosschaert with poems by Anton van Wilderode. The jury report praises the way in which Vanhoutte sketches a scharper and more nuanced image of the jong poet and the jury observes that Vanhoutte's research corrected many bio- and bibliographical misunderstandings or 'fables' which Van Wilderode himself sent into the worls. The jury concludes: 'With this critical and scholarly edition of De moerbeitoppen ruischten, Edward Vanhoutte gave a first and decisive boost to scholarly and archival research on the life and work of Anton van Wilderode. That's also why he deserves the Remembrance Prize Anton van Wildeode 2011.

Text and Genre in Reconstruction. Effects of Digitalization on Ideas, Behaviours, Products and Institutions. (ed. Willard McCarty)
In this broad-reaching, multi-disciplinary collection, leading scholars investigate how the digital medium has altered the way we read and write text. In doing so, it challenges the very notion of scholarship as it has traditionally been imagined. Incorporating scientific, socio-historical, materialist and theoretical approaches, this rich body of work explores topics ranging from how computers have affected our relationship to language, whether the book has become an obsolete object, the nature of online journalism, and the psychology of authorship. The essays offer a significant contribution to the growing debate on how digitization is shaping our collective identity, for better or worse.
Text and Genre in Reconstruction will appeal to scholars in both the humanities and sciences and provides essential reading for anyone interested in the changing relationship between reader and text in the digital age.

Text Editing, Print and the Digital World (ed. Marilyn Deegan & Kathryn Sutherland)
"Traditional critical editing, defined by the paper and print limitations of the book, is now considered by many to be inadequate for the expression and interpretation of complex works of literature. At the same time, digital developments are permitting us to extend the range of text objects we can reproduce and investigate critically - not just books, but newspapers, draft manuscripts and inscriptions on stone. This important book brings together leading textual critics, scholarly editors, technical specialists and publishers to discuss whether and how existing paradigms for developing and using critical editions are changing to reflect the increased commitment to and assumed significance of digital tools and methodologies."

Omnis Technical Note TNGI0012
How to drop down a droplist automatically when entering the dropdown list
For Omnis Studio
By Omnis Technical Support
Tabbing into a dropdown list or clicking on the dropdown list with the mouse, the dropdown list gets the focus but does not open up automatically; it does not drop down automatically. Pressing the 'Cursor Up' or 'Cursor Down' keyboard buttons displays the previous or next line in the list, if possible, but does not drop down the list. What happens if one wants the list to drop down automatically when that field gets the focus?
One has to trap the 'On evBefore' event of the drop list as below:
$event method -------------
On evBefore
Queue keyboard event {alt-Down}
This works fine when tabbing into the dropdown list using the TAB key, but some problems occur when the dropdown list gets the focus by clicking on it with the mouse. One is able to choose a list line but the list does not close automatically, it stays open. Only a repeated click on the list will close the list. To work around this problem one has to do the following:
a) In the Action property pane of the dropdown list turn on the mouseevents by setting
$mouseevents to kTrue.
b) Append the code behind the dropdown list
$event method -------------
On evMouseDown
Quit event handler (Discard event)
On evBefore
Queue keyboard event {alt-Down}
The droplist will now act as required.

About Bert
Time-N-Pieces Antique Clocks is the continuation of a thirty-two-year fascination with clocks, beginning with my purchase of a 'basket-case' clock in the flea market in Seville Spain in late 1967. After the successful restoration of the case, which had five different, identifiable coats of paint hiding a beautiful rosewood veneer case and the repair of the movement, which involved the making of two parts which are still in that clock, the hobby took on a life of its own. In 1971 I was sponsored for membership in the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors by another clocksmith and I have been a member ever since.
During the following years, additional clocks, many considered lost causes by their former owners, were rescued from flea-markets, yard sales, and the back rooms of otherwise respectable antique shops throughout Spain and in many of the States where I have lived here in the good old USA.
As both my skills and my array of tools and parts expanded I was called upon by friends, neighbors, and colleagues to 'have a look' at the clocks that seemed to keep coming out of attics, basements, and barns. Many of them had not run in the owner's memory--they do now.
Having given up my day-job (retired) as a chemist turned program-manager after a bit more than thirty-two years of service, I am pleased to offer my services as a Clocksmith and as a dealer in antique clocks.
An array of pictures and descriptions of the clocks offered for sale by Time-N-Pieces can be seen by clicking on Clocks for Gallery. An overview of the clock repair services available at Time-N-Pieces can be found by clicking on Service & Repairs.
