Design Feedback & Approvals (formerly Cycles) allows you to share any design (mockups, wireframes, sitemaps) with clients and colleagues, who view your work in their browser and post feedback directly on your designs.
Note: This plugin is the used to be called Cycles, and is the predecessor of new Cycles software with a new plugin submitted to the repo and coming any day now.
This plugin allows you to:
Share designs with anyone – Upload any design (mockups, moodboards, wireframes, etc) and share with your clients. They'll only need the URL (and optional password) to view and make comments. No attachments or accounts required.
Collect design feedback – Clients view mockups in their browser, and click directly on the design to comment. Feedback remains organized, eliminating back and forth emails and miscommunication.
Record approvals/sign off – When you've made requested changes, your client approves the design by agreeing to terms and providing a digital signature. The time, date, and name of the approver are recorded.
Keep project members informed – When you publish a design, the plugin can send an email invitation with access details and instructions. Additionally, you can configure instant email notifications for new comments and approvals.
Import design feedback into 3rd party services – Connect your designs to Trello, Basecamp, Asana, Slack, Help Scout, or any 3rd party service with project based email addresses, to bring feedback and approvals into your team's project management workflow.
Why you should use the new Cycles plugin
First, many of the "designers" we speak with are moving from creating mockups in Photoshop and Illustrator to starting projects with themes and designing straight in the browser.
So, we've launched a new version of Cycles that collects feedback and approvals on any web page that works on many web development platforms (not just WordPress). A (free) Cycles account enables:
- A record of all comments, replies, and approvals (outside of your WordPress database or client's site)
- Easy notifications and integrations without configuring your WordPress email settings
- Feedback and approvals on any web page or site
Free accounts have no trial time limits, and include all visual feedback and approval features.

Plugin features
Email Invites & Notifications
Send your client an invitation to review your newly published design, directly from your WordPress site. Then, when someone makes a comment or provides their approval, get notified at the email address(es) of your choosing. Note: As this plugin relies on the wp_mail()
WordPress function, this feature requires your web server/host to have email correctly configured, or the use of a plugin like Postman-SMTP.
3rd party integration
Enter project-specific email addresses in the notification section to send new comments and approvals directly to many 3rd party services like Trello, Basecamp, Asana, Slack, and Help Scout.
Approvals & Digital Signatures
When a client is ready to "sign off," they approve designs by agreeing to terms and providing their digital signature for the system to record.
Custom Design URL and Slug
Make sharing easier with custom, client friendly and easy to pronounce URLs. Now including the path/slug.
Self Hosted
Works on your (or your client's) WordPress installation, so files stay private and secure on your client-friendly, recognizable domain.
Upload images
Upload single or multiple files of any type supported by WordPress, such as JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP.
Image Library
Organize designs in the WordPress media library for quick sorting and searching.
Password Protection
Set optional passwords to keep designs private and secure from unwanted visitors.
Annotated Feedback
Viewers leave comments anywhere on the design so others can view their feedback with context.
Feedback List
Comments are gathered into a single, easy to reference list of design feedback.
- Upload the entire plugin folder to the
directory - Activate the plugin through the
menu in WordPress - Done! Use the Design Feedback menu option in the admin sidebar to upload and share your designs.

How are you riding rough waves or unfair performance reviews – see Forbes – that shout recession at work? Perhaps you're looking for opportunities that fit your skills. Keith Hall, commissioner of the US Bureau of Labor Stats, spoke to Boston Globe staff this week, about the severe recession that left us down 8.4 million jobs. An unprecedented occurrence in US history.
If yours was one of those lost jobs, or if your retirement plan shrunk, severe recession may be too mild a term to describe the chaos you face. Based on newly discovered facts about the human brain's ability to reorganize itself, however, intelligent individuals are repositioning themselves for a predicted coming upturn of events.
Brain experts would say – they are also developing intrapersonal intelligence as tools to tackle workplace challenges and win.
Consider brainpowered responses to win during the toughest ride of recession, by rebooting your brain to join the ranks of high-performance minds:
1. Slap somebody on the back. Notice new ideas, support the smaller parts of innovations. Boredom is more a habit formed in brains, and shaped by choices often made in tough times. Stressed or bored minds, default back to broken routines.
2. Lighten up. Increased light lowers melatonin and increases focus, as healthy settings help people to transform problems and broken pieces into creative designs that work.
3. Trust the differences. People engage one another's best ideas through generating trust so that differences emerge as dividends. Pelle Ahlerup, U of Gothenburg showed that countries where people have greater trust in others perform better in a number of areas and have higher growth.
4. Tame the tiger within. When anger, fear, and frustration are fueled by disappointments or disagreements, innovation is stomped out by cortisol – chemical hormones for fury. To tame your brain's amygdala is to rewire moods in your favor, freeing you to lead calm solutions under pressure.
5. Affirm speedily but blame sparingly. Venting or blaming derails brainpower needed for solutions. Affirm what's working and you'll create new neuron pathways to much more of the same.
6. Do something different – learn something new. Innovation comes from those who shift things up, and test-drive better approaches at work. Dendrite brain cells use the outside world and take shape, or they grow IQ- based on what you do.
7. Whistle while you work. Research shows growth in people's focus and attention to excellence through melodies in baroque, for instance. Music changes brain wave speeds in ways that impact moods and alter productivity.
8. Walk the talk! Implementation is central to success. Lectures and talks that deliver facts, work against listeners' brains and benefit speakers' intelligence mostly. Apply it to learn it
9. Stretch but don't shrink your brain. In contrast to innovators, Hebbian workers rewire their brains to kill incentives, limit focus or even shrink their brains. Recent research described in Dawna Markova's book, The Open Mind, shows we can become creatures of new habits at work if we are open minded and willing to stretch for new possibilities.
10. Profit from differences. Too often diversity training works mentally against benefits because of its deficit model approach. Inclusion, on the other hand, leads to innovative differences with mutual benefits and mental prosperity.
11. Check your speed. Brain waves can bring either sleep or move into peak performance, based on how they activate at work. All four brain wave levels (beta, alpha, theta and delta) serve value to innovative stages.
12. Hook to the brain. Tie even difficult facts onto one thing you already know and learning increases in less time. Innovative workers engage new knowledge with ease. The frontal region switches the state of the brain between "learn" and "remember modes in a brief period of time (ScienceDaily 2009).
13. Live outside the box. Multiple approaches abound as people exceed prescribed standards from many unique approaches. Multiple intelligences are common to all innovators, used by few staunch traditionalists, and develop IQ daily in innovative settings.
14. Raise IQ daily. Multiple intelligences are common to all innovators, used by few staunch traditionalists, and develop IQ daily in innovative settings. When activated, each intelligence can be located in specific regions of the human brain, (1999) as described by Gardner in Intelligence Reframed. Each intelligence develops with use.
15. Run from cynicism. While encouragement motivates innovative brainpower, the opposite is also true. Cynical mindsets block creativity, impact talent, and stomp out innovation.
16. Remember working memory fast forgets. Memory can be outsourced – through creating lists for example – to help you remember, and yet free the mind for focus on more collaborative initiatives.
17. Burn strong, don't burn out. Plasticity enables people of all ages to rewire the human brain for innovation that keeps brainpower younger, smarter, and alive through interactive learning.
18. Thank somebody. Encouragement changes chemistry of brain through raised serotonin, criticism tears down through spreading cortisol.
19. Mean what you mutter. Just as meta messages destroy relationships through implications different from what is said, transparency opens segues to creative contributions at work. People who are openly transparent and vulnerable build trust in both employees and customers. Trust is a part of the intrapersonal intelligence, and is developed as we build healthy relationships that shape character.
20. Toss new talents into work. It often takes an integration of hard and soft skills to solve problems innovatively with the brain in mind. How might being social and being smart go together? "As people engage socially and mentally with others," finds Oscar Ybarra (2008) "they receive relatively immediate cognitive boosts."
21. Adopt tone tools for tough times. Poor tone acts as innovation's silent killer, and shrinks the brain through stress, good tone cultivates brainpower when you need it most.
22. Use names more. Greet a person warmly through speaking that person's name, for a spike in personal awareness, within the human brain. See ties to innovation in tough times at work? PET scans show a strong cerebral flow change when you hear your name spoken and it plays a positive role as you process "self."
23. Teach at same time you learn. You retain 90% more through teaching others at the same time they learn a thing. So wisdom and invention spreads and grows in this way. To learn, apply and teach a new task, the brain 'sculpts' new connections (2010).
24. Solve something! People create new neuron pathways each time they add an innovative solution to any problem encountered. The opposite is also true, focus on problems leads to more of the same. Your ability to infer and apply new solutions leading to an "aha" relies on the brain's frontal lobes (2010).
25. Prize women and men's differences. Women's and men's brains differ biologically and intellectually in ways that few optimize, but ways that jettison innovations forward when valued. Though women have more white matter and men more gray matter, they produce equivalent intellectual performances, a UCI study shows (2005). Unlike gray matter, which peaks in development in a person's twenties, the white matter continues to develop, and peaks in middle age (Sowell et al., 2003)
The human brain takes new directions in times of recession, through innovative approaches that boost brainpower for an upturn of events. Ever notice how when predictions of well being swoop – so also do the markets sink? The opposite is also true. Ready for an upturn of events?

I'm still new to java and android programming and I am having so much trouble Removing an object when collision happens. I looked around the web and found that I should never handle removing BOX2D bodies during collision detection (a contact listener) and I should add my objects to an arraylist and set a variable in the User Data section of the body to delete or not and handle the removing action in an update handler. So I did this: First I define two ArrayLists one for the faces and one for the bodies:
ArrayList<Sprite> myFaces = new ArrayList<Sprite>();
ArrayList<Body> myBodies = new ArrayList<Body>();
Then when I create a face and connect that face to its body I add them to their ArrayLists like this:
face = new AnimatedSprite(pX, pY, pWidth, pHeight, this.mBoxFaceTextureRegion);
Body BoxBody = PhysicsFactory.createBoxBody(mPhysicsWorld, face, BodyType.DynamicBody, objectFixtureDef);
mPhysicsWorld.registerPhysicsConnector(new PhysicsConnector(face, BoxBody, true, true));
now I add a contact listener and an update handler in the onloadscene like this:
this.mPhysicsWorld.setContactListener(new ContactListener() {
private AnimatedSprite face2;
public void beginContact(final Contact pContact) {
public void endContact(final Contact pContact) {
public void preSolve(Contact contact,Manifold oldManifold) {
public void postSolve(Contact contact,ContactImpulse impulse) {
scene.registerUpdateHandler(new IUpdateHandler() {
public void reset() { }
public void onUpdate(final float pSecondsElapsed) {
My plan is to detect which two bodies collided in the contact listener by checking a variable from the user data section of the body, get their numbers in the array list and finally use the update handler to remove these bodies.
The questions are: Am I using the arraylist correctly? How to add a variable to the User Data (the code please). I tried removing a body in this update handler but it still throws me NullPointerException , so what is the right way to add an update handler and where should I add it. Any other advices to do this would be great. Thanks in advance.

President Obama and Vice President-elect Mike Pence were both on Capitol Hill Wednesday, making competing cases for and against Obama's signature health care law. Republicans have promised to make repeal of the Affordable Care Act their first order of business, once they control both Congress and the White House.
Obama is urging his fellow Democrats to do what they can to preserve the law. If that fails, Democrats plan to hold Republicans accountable for any disruption the repeal may trigger. Both sides are trying to position themselves as the protectors of Americans' health care, while branding the other party as a dangerous threat.
As usual, the truth may be somewhere in between. Here we take a closer look at some of the claims being floated by both parties:
President-elect Trump got the ball rolling with a pre-dawn tweet, cautioning that "Republicans must be careful in that the Dems own the failed ObamaCare disaster, with its poor coverage and massive premium increases......"
Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan echoed Trump. "This law has failed," Ryan told reporters. "We know that things are only getting worse under Obamacare. This is about people paying higher premiums every year and feeling powerless to stop it. It's about families paying deductibles that are so high it doesn't even feel like you have health insurance in the first place. And in so many parts of the country, as you've always heard, even if you want to look for better coverage, you're stuck with one option. One choice is not a choice. It is a monopoly. The health care system has been ruined, dismantled under Obamacare."
CLAIM: Obamacare suffers from "massive premium increases"
FACT CHECK: True in some cases, but it's also relative. Obamacare is also actually cheaper on average than the typical employer-provided plan.
Many people shopping for health insurance on the government-run exchanges set up by Obamacare have seen double-digit premium increases this year.
The average cost of a benchmark plan rose 25 percent nationwide, but there was considerable variation from state to state. Premiums in Arizona jumped an average of 116 percent, while premiums in Indiana and Massachusetts actually went down. Most people buying insurance on the exchanges receive a government subsidy, which helps defray the cost.
A study by the Urban Institute last year found that even without the subsidy, insurance policies sold on the exchanges cost about 10 percent less than the typical employer-provided plan. Exchange policies might seem more expensive, because part of the cost of workplace plans is typically paid by employers, and thus largely invisible to the employee.
CLAIM: "You're stuck with one option" under Obamacare
FACT CHECK: Not true for the majority, but it has increasingly become the case.
Obamacare insurance exchanges have grown less competitive, as some insurance companies have lost money and left the market. One in five customers on the exchanges had just one insurance company to choose from this year (up from 2 percent in 2016). Nearly 6 in 10 customers have a choice of three or more companies. The lack of competition, which can lead to higher prices, tends to be worse in rural areas and the South.
Insurance companies have struggled, in part, because fewer young, healthy people have signed up for coverage than forecast. Backers of the Affordable Care Act say that could be remedied with more generous subsidies to encourage sign-ups or bigger penalties for those who fail to enroll. Obamaalso renewed the idea of a public insurance option to supplement private offerings.
CLAIM: "The health care system has been ruined, dismantled under Obamacare"
FACT CHECK: Prices were going up at faster rates before Obamacare.
Most Americans under age 65 still get health insurance through an employer, although the percentage has been slowly dropping. The cost of employer-provided coverage has gone up since passage of the ACA. But the annual price hikes were considerably larger in the decade before the law was passed. Some of the savings from slower premium growth have been offset by higher deductibles.
While Republicans highlight the shortcomings of the Affordable Care Act, Democrats warn that repeal would be much worse.
"Instead of working to further ensure affordable care for all Americans, [Republicans] seek to rip health care away from millions of Americans, creating chaos in our entire economy," Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer said Wednesday. He and his fellow Democrats offered a mocking slogan for the GOP: "Make America Sick Again."
Schumer also suggested that repealing Obamacare would hurt rural hospitals, "right in their heartlands. The minute they enact this repeal, [hospitals] are going to suffer dramatically," he said.
CLAIM: ACA repeal would "rip health care away from millions"
FACT CHECK: True, if Republicans don't protect them or replace ACA with something that provides coverage.
The Affordable Care Act has expanded health care coverage to some 20 million Americans through a combination of subsidized individual policies, expanded Medicaid, and allowing young adults to stay on their parents' plans. The uninsured rate has fallen to an all-time low of around 10 percent. Coverage would be higher still if 19 states had not refused to expand Medicaid.
If the Republican-controlled Congress repeals the Affordable Care Act, many of those newly insured Americans would be at risk of losing coverage. In addition, millions more who buy individual insurance policies off the exchanges could be at risk, if that market is disrupted. The Urban Institute estimates as many as 30 million people in all could lose their health care coverage, doubling the uninsured rate.
Republicans have promised an orderly transition as they work toward a replacement for Obamacare, and it's possible the effective date for any repeal could be delayed for a number of years. Insurance companies, however, may be reluctant to participate once it's clear Obamacare's individual market is being phased out.
CLAIM: Rural hospitals are going to suffer
FACT CHECK: True, if repealed outright, but it's also because of the way the ACA was structured in the first place.
The concern for hospitals reflects a trade-off when the ACA was passed seven years ago. The government scaled back what it pays hospitals for treating Medicare patients and the indigent, with the expectation that would be offset by payments from millions of newly insured.
Hospitals worry that if repeal of the law cuts insurance coverage, but doesn't restore other payments, they could be left with a mountain of unpaid bills. The American Hospital Association and the Federation of American Hospitals urged Congress and the incoming Trump administration to either protect insurance coverage or replace the hospital payments.

When done right swine farming can be very rewarding and can being nice income as well.
Nonetheless it is very important that you know very well what you are doing when starting out because you may easily make costly errors. So make sure you get the right information and guidelines that can be found in this article.
>>> Click here for a complete guide to pig farming…
When starting out in pig farming you should first plan on where you want your pigs to call home. For pig housing you must construct a well ventilated pig pen which is spacious as well. You should place your pig pen in a flat area that is free from mud that may attract insects.
Your pig pen must be large enough to accommodate all of your swines and really should be comfortable to your pigs as well. To make it comfortable you can install hog wire and concrete slabs. The surrounding fence must be buried 6 inches deep in the ground so the pigs don't dig under it. Concrete slabs will make sure that the floor is proper and easy to clean.
To absorb odours that the swine produce you may put hay plus straws on the floor. You can also design parts in the pen where your pigs can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A good roofing is required as well to protect your pigs from extreme weather like heat and rainwater.
After you have designed a pig pen you then go ahead in choosing the right pig breed for your project. This has to be done carefully. Make sure that you buy your pigs from a seller who has learned what are high quality pigs and what are mediocre breeds.
Once your swine are in their houses all you need to do is take good care of them. This can be done by providing them with food plus clean water on daily bases. Keep in mind to clean the pen every occasionally to make sure that bacteria doesn't develop in the pen. A healthy hog will produce quality meat thus bringing you more income.

Pluto's Mysterious Moons, Nix & Hydra, Turn 5
In June 2005, two small moons were discovered orbiting Pluto, much farther out than its larger moon, Charon. For a year, the discovery team, led by planetary astronomer Alan Stern of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colo., debated what to call the moons. On June 21, 2006, they settled on Nix and Hydra, the names of a goddess and creature in Greek mythology.
Here's what you need to know about Pluto's little moons, including what we've learned about them in the five years since they were named.
Tiny satellites
Nix is dimmer and thus thought to be slightly smaller than Hydra, but ranging 2.6 billion to 4.7 billion miles (4.2 billion and 7.5 billion km) away from Earth, the moons are too dim and distant for astronomers to be able to tell exactly how small they are. Astronomers are confident, however, that both moons are smaller than 50 miles (80 km) in diameter.
Symbolic names
Nix was the Greek goddess of darkness and night, and the mother of Charon, the ferryman who transported the souls of the dead across the River Styx and into the god Pluto's Underworld. Hydra was a multiheaded serpent killed by Hercules. The names were chosen in part because their combined initials (N and H) stand for the New Horizons spacecraft, which will visit Pluto and its moons, and uncover more about them, in 2015.

The New Horizons robotic spacecraft , launched in 2006, is en route to Pluto and its moons, and will fly by them in four years. The mission was originally planned as an exploration of the last unvisited planet in the solar system. However, since 2006, Pluto has been officially downgraded from a planet to a dwarf planet. Many scientists on the New Horizons team disagree with this reclassification, including Alan Stern, head of the Nix and Hydra discovery team.
Three of a kind
Observations of Pluto's moons through the Hubble telescope have led astronomers to believe that Nix and Hydra formed at the same time as Charon, Pluto's larger moon. They think the moons formed early in the solar system's formation, when a large object from the Kuiper Belt region collided with the dwarf planet, essentially breaking off three pieces. [Read: What If the Moon Had Never Formed? ]
"If all three satellites presumably formed from the same material lofted into orbit around Pluto from a giant impact, you might well expect the surfaces of all three satellites to have similar colors," Stern said in 2006. And that's exactly what the data show: the three moons are made of the same material, and thus reflect the same colors of light. They also orbit in the same plane.
Color: "neutral"
The color of Nix, Hydra and Charon, is, in astronomy-speak, "neutral." This means they are composed of water and ice, which reflect light approximately equally across all wavelengths and thus appear colorless. Pluto, by contrast, is slightly reddish, most likely a result of ultraviolet radiation from the sun breaking up methane that is on Pluto's surface, leaving behind a red, carbon-rich residue.
Orbital resonance
The moons of Pluto seem to undergo what is called "orbital resonance." This means that their orbital periods the length of time they take to round Pluto are integer multiples of one another, and their gravitational fields align after every few orbital cycles. When this happens, they exert a larger-than-normal gravitational pull, and throw off each other's orbits slightly.
Mysteries abound
The sizes, reflectivity, temperature and shapes of Nix and Hydra are unknown, as is the nature of their orbital resonance. Many questions will be answered when the New Horizons probe gets up close and personal with the mini-moons in 2015.

- Core and GUI are independent. They communicate over TCP socket.
- It is possible to launch the core without the GUI. The core does not depend of any kind of graphic library.
- If the GUI crashes then the core remains.
- Designed for LAN usage (full trusted peers and very high speed transfers).
- Efficient (very low CPU usage).
- Distributed download (multi peer downloading and no central server).
- Quicker peer first. The speed of a peer is an average over a period of time say 5 min. The speed of an unknown peer is maximum thus it will be take first. If a downloading is too slow (like three time slower than the best known peer) then it can switch to a quicker free peer.
After A period of time without any download from a peer say 30min its speed is reseted to the maximum. - Rarest parts first. If there is no rarest parts then the choice is randomly.
- A part can be resumed from any peer which own a complete copy.
- A file from a user is identified by its name and its folder.
- Fixed part size (2^24 B = 16 MB) hashed with SHA-1. Used to control the integrity of parts and to identify each part. If the SHA-1 of a part does not match the given SHA-1 then it will be re-downloaded entirely.
- The number of concurrent download is around 3 parts simultaneous but not more than 1 per peer. The number of concurrent upload is unlimited.
- Recursive folder downloading.
- The paths of the files are recreated in the downloading peer.
- Quicker peer first. The speed of a peer is an average over a period of time say 5 min. The speed of an unknown peer is maximum thus it will be take first. If a downloading is too slow (like three time slower than the best known peer) then it can switch to a quicker free peer.
- There is a general chat. There is no private chat. The chat uses UDP multicast (if possible).
- Multicast UDP for services discovering (maybe UPNP). Each peer announces periodically he is alive with a multicast message.
- MDI GUI with GTK2HS.
- A panel to view the current peers and their amount of sharing.
- A window to view the current downloads (leechage) and one for the current uploads (seedage). These windows are very similar. The list is ordered, first the complete download then the current downloading files and finally the queued files.
- A window for the chat.
- Some windows for each file browsing. The files and folders are seen like a tree (like in the Finder of Mac OS X).
- Some windows for each file searching. The displayed list is identical to the browsing list.
- A modal window for the settings.
- The shared folders.
- The incoming folders (take the first if enough available space disk otherwise the second and so one..).
- Bandwidth and CPU limitation with a single option (checkbox).
- Using of Thrift or Protocol Buffers for definition of the protocol between two peers and between the Core and the GUI.
- File list with name+size.
- Non blocking search, the list is dynamically filled for each peer answer.
- Using of systray (optional).
- Haskell language
- A polymorphically statically typed, lazy, purely functional language. Very high level modern language.
- Open source.
- Efficient.
- Good GTK-Binding : http://www.haskell.org/gtk2hs/
Secondary ideas¶
- Parse meta data like ID3tag when searching.
- Free space management.
- Private chat.
- Automatically detect a running game and set the limitation flag.
- Automatically detect CPU/bandwidth usage and set limitation flag.
- Protect some sharing by a password / user rights for shares.
- Statistics window with graphs.

Without Tim Howard, this could have been a much different game leaving fans with a much different sentiment towards the US team and perhaps a much more pessimistic view of the US's future prospects on the international soccer scene.
But Tim Howard was a beast. Rarely going a more than a couple minutes without an amazing save to keep the the US in the game. When the smoke cleared, Howard tallied 16 saves, most of them being quite spectacular. Below is a video showing his busy, record setting, and some would say heroic performance in goal for the US .

Has anybody ever traced the history of human characters in short cartoons? I specifically mean the use of humans as supporting characters in cartoons that are about anthropomorphic animal characters.
For many years, if a cartoon was about a talking animal character, then everybody else in the cartoon would be a talking animal as well. Characters were only drawn as humans if there was some specific reason why they wouldn't work any other way. Like Disney's "The Brave Little Tailor": Mickey is a talking animal; every character he meets in the first part of the film is a talking animal; only the giant is a human, because the term implies a giant human being, not a giant animal.
Now look at a cartoon like "No Hunting," which I wrote about a few weeks back (and if you haven't looked at it, buy or borrow the Chronological Donald Duck Vol. 4 and look at it now). In that cartoon, everybody is a human except Donald, his grandfather, and any animals that are actually supposed to be animals: cows, deer and so on. By the '50s, the rule had completely changed for short cartoons: whereas it was once thought that talking animals should live in a world of talking animals, it became the norm to have your talking animal character surrounded by humans.
One thing that led to this was the development of animal characters who were not quite as humanized as Mickey Mouse. Mickey, and Porky Pig, are basically humans who happen to be drawn as animals. They live like humans, they act like humans, they own animals as pets. The cartoon stars who emerged in the '40s were often animals who actually lived like animals: Tom and Jerry acted like a cat and mouse; Bugs Bunny lives in a hole in the ground, eats carrots, and is menaced by hunters. (These characters are, for the most part, naked, whereas Mickey and Porky and Donald wear clothes.) With a character like Bugs, his adversaries have to be human, and when they're not, they have to be animal-like animals, like hunting dogs or Tasmanian Devils. It wouldn't work if Elmer Fudd were drawn as a dog who happens to go hunting with a gun. The whole thing that makes Bugs work as a character is that he is, as he says, "a rabbit in a human woild." Other factors include the rise of the UPA style, making human characters the in thing.
Not that critter casts ever completely went away. I remember seeing "Daffy Dilly" for the first time and being surprised that the butler in that cartoon was drawn as a dog. I guess they felt that since Daffy had a human-type job in that cartoon, other human-type jobs should be occupied by animals; similarly, in "The Stupor Salesman," Daffy is a salesman and Slug McSlug is an animal character. It's fair to say that if those cartoons had been made a few years later, those characters would have been humans. But Tex Avery was still doing humanized animal cartoons like "Magical Maestro" into the '50s. So it didn't go away, it just beame the exception rather than the rule.

Dear EarthTalk: How eco-friendly are professional sports leagues and their teams? Which stand out especially for their green efforts? -- Al Simpson, Medina, OH
Professional sports, like many other pursuits, are getting greener every day. While pro leagues and teams have traditionally been the last to go green, it has all changed in recent years. Maybe it's the fact that wasting less saves money. Or that going green generates good public relations. Or that it's just the right thing to do. Whether it's any or all-of-the-above, professional sports certainly have never been greener.
The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a leading environmental non-profit, has worked with several sports teams and leagues to green their operations, and has bundled a collection of case studies into a recently released report, "Game Changer: How the Sports Industry is Saving the Environment." One example is how baseball's San Francisco Giants have so far saved 171,000 kilowatt hours of energy at its stadium, AT+T Park, through a series of lighting retrofits. Another is the building of a 3-megawatt photovoltaic solar array at NASCAR's Pocono Raceway, which offsets 3,100 metric tons of CO2 each year and provides enough power to operate the raceway and 1,000 nearby homes. Still another is basketball's Minnesota Timberwolves' construction of a 2.5 acre green roof that prevents annually a million gallons of storm water from spilling into the Mississippi River from atop their Minneapolis arena.
NRDC hopes its report can help educate sports professionals, their suppliers and the millions of fans that patronize the teams and their venues about the business case for greening, from achieving cost savings and enhancing brands to developing new sponsorship opportunities and strengthening community ties.
To further these goals, NRDC, along with Paul Allen's Vulcan Inc., launched the Green Sports Alliance in 2010, bringing together venue operators, team executives and scientists to exchange information and develop solutions to their environmental challenges. The findings gathered are made available to Alliance members so that they can better understand how sporting events can be performed in an environmentally sensitive manner. Alliance members represent more than 100 teams and venues from 13 different leagues.
For teams that want to go green but don't know where to start, NRDC created a Greening Advisor program, featuring sustainability tips and green inspiration. Teams from each of North America's major sports leagues can find treasure troves of information at the intersection of saving money and the planet.
NRDC calls the greening of pro sports "a cultural shift of historic proportions" and delights in the fact that "North America's professional leagues, teams and venues have collectively saved millions of dollars by shifting to more efficient, healthy and ecologically intelligent operations."
"At the same time, the sports greening movement has brought important environmental messages to millions of fans worldwide," says NRDC. "Sport is a great unifier, transcending political, cultural, religious and socioeconomic barriers. It also wields a uniquely powerful influence [and] in so doing, promotes a non-political public commitment to environmental protection."

This post was updated at 5:15 p.m. ET.
Iraqi police say 33 people, including 20 or more women, were gunned down in apartment buildings in eastern Baghdad.
The Associated Press quotes police as saying "the gunmen showed up in four-wheel drive vehicles and stormed the buildings in the Zayounah neighborhood in eastern Baghdad."
"When we walked up the stairs, we saw a couple of women's bodies and blood streaming down the stairs," an unidentified police officer told Reuters. "We entered a flat and found bodies everywhere, some lying on the sofa, some on the ground, and one woman who apparently had tried to hide in a cupboard in the kitchen shot to death there."
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, and it wasn't clear whether the victims were specifically targeted or what the motive might be. However, Reuters notes that "Shi'ite militias have been accused by locals of carrying out killings of women branded as prostitutes in that district of the capital, though there was no way to immediately confirm who was responsible for the attack."
Meanwhile, in an effort to shore up the front line, Iraq is airlifting some 4,000 volunteer fighters to the embattled city of Ramadi, where they are intended to bolster government forces against the Sunni insurgency.
The Associated Press says:
"Around 2,500 of the volunteers arrived in Ramadi, located 70 miles west of the capital, on Friday and are to be joined by the remaining 1,500 on Saturday, said Gen. Rasheed Flayeh, the commander of operations in Anbar province. The men are being ferried out to Ramadi from Baghdad by helicopter, he added.
"The vast majority of volunteers are Shiites who have answered a call from the country's top Shiite cleric, Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, to defend Iraq from the militants who have overrun of much of the country's north and west over the past month. The Sunni militant blitz is led by the Islamic State extremist group, which has unilaterally declared the establishment of an Islamic state ruled by Shariah law in the territory it controls straddling the Iraq-Syria border."
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Friday that Iran and Russia were helping the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki battle the rebels.
"We are aware of the Iranian and Russian efforts to help the Iraqis, but we are not involved in coordinating any missions," Hagel was quoted by The Hill as saying.
According to The Hill:
"A Pentagon official said the U.S. believes Iranian pilots are in the air in Iraq but not Russian pilots.
"'We believe that there are some manned Iranian flights manned by Iranian pilots,' the official said, according to The Hill. 'There's nothing that indicates there are Russian pilots flying around.' "
"Earlier this week, Iran sent three Su-25 fighter jets to Iraq designed for close air support of ground troops."
And, Reuters says:
"The U.N. special envoy to Iraq, Nickolay Mladenov, said the country could plunge into chaos if parliament fails to move forward on a government in a next session now set for Sunday.
"He also urged lawmakers to turn up, after fewer than a third attended the first session when Sunnis and Kurds walked out after Shi'ites failed to nominate a premier to replace Maliki."

Ramona, CA Harvey Milk Censorship
Watch a video with Natalie and her mother.
Please note that by playing this clip YouTube and Google will place a long-term cookie on your computer. Please see YouTube's privacy statement on their website and Google's privacy statement on theirs to learn more. To view the ACLU's privacy statement, click here.
Natalie Jones, a sixth grader at Mt. Woodson Elementary School in Ramona, California, was given an assignment in an independent study project class to write a report on any subject she found interesting. She chose Harvey Milk. Milk, the United States's first openly gay elected official, was one of Time Magazine's "Time 100 Heroes and Icons of the 20th Century" in 1999, has been the subject of several books, an opera, a documentary film that won the 1984 Academy Award for Documentary Feature, and a feature film released in 2008 that won two Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor.
After Natalie got a near-perfect score on her report, her class was told to make PowerPoint presentations about their reports, which they would show to other students in the class. The day before Natalie was to give her 12-page presentation she was called into the principal's office and told she couldn't do so.
Wrongly citing a school policy on sex education, the school violated Natalie Jones's free speech rights when it refused to allow her to give the presentation in class. Instead, the school improperly required classmates to get parental permission to see the presentation during a lunch recess. This illegal censorship of student speech violates both the First Amendment and the California Education Code and misuses a school policy in order to justify the censorship.
Status: VICTORY! After the ACLU sent a demand letter explaining that censoring Natalie's presentation was illegal under both state and federal law, Natalie's school apologized promised not to unconstitutionally restrict students' free speech rights in the future. Natalie was allowed to give her presentation in class on June 9, 2009.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a warning that's sure to disappoint many who enjoy sneaking a taste of cookie dough, the federal Food and Drug Administration says people shouldn't eat raw dough or batter of any kind due to an ongoing outbreak of illnesses related to a strain of E. coli bacteria found in some batches of flour.
The FDA says some of those who got sick ate or handled raw dough that contained flour made at a General Mills plant in Kansas City, Missouri. General Mills has voluntarily recalled 10 million pounds of flour sold under the Gold Medal, Gold Medal Wondra and Signature Kitchen brands.
The agency also warns against using dough for play clay or homemade ornaments.
The CDC is advising restaurants not to give kids raw dough to play with while waiting for meals.

When searching for evidence to answer our clinical questions, the ability to rapidly recognise different types of studies is helpful for finding the one that best answers the question. "Levels of evidence" tables make suggestions for which design is best for which type of question. For instance, you would naturally consider a randomised controlled trial as the most appropriate study design for intervention decisions. But for potential harms of interventions, we may need case–control studies. And for aetiology, we often need to use cohort studies: you wouldn't randomise someone to cigarette smoking to see if they did worse—that would also be unethical. But you would want investigators to follow up cigarette smokers and non-smokers for a long time, just as Richard Doll did.1
This short Notebook is a brief guide to the different study types and their advantages and disadvantages. In trying to understand why investigators chose a particular study type, several factors need to be taken into account. The first thing to recognise is that both clinical questions and study designs have similar components (as we'd …

Google's incredibly generous death benefits have generated huge admiration. But what are they really for?
The war for tech talent has engendered a bit of a benefits arms race lately. You offer 20% free time? Well, we've got a month of free time! Work-life balance is a priority at your company? Well, we actually pay our employees not to work! And now this sort of perks one-upmanship may have reached its height at the company that's the natural home of the lavish benefit.
In a recent interview with Forbes, Google's Chief People Officer Laszlo Bock made public an even more astounding benefit offered by the company, eclipsing all the free haircuts, gourmet food, and other well-publicized sweeteners Google offers its staff. Behold in awe the death benefits Google provides an employee's family in the event he or she dies while working at the company. Forbes's Meghan Casserly reports:
Should a U.S. Googler pass away while under the employ of the 14-year old search giant, their surviving spouse or domestic partner will receive a check for 50% of their salary every year for the next decade. Even more surprising, a Google spokesperson confirms that there's "no tenure requirement" for this benefit, meaning most of their 34,000 Google employees qualify…. In addition to the 10-year pay package, surviving spouses will see all stocks vested immediately and any children will receive a $1,000 monthly payment from the company until they reach the age of 19 (or 23 if the child is a full-time student).
These incredibly generous benefits for survivors predictably set off a firestorm of chat online (and produced at least one sly look across the dinner table from a Googler's spouse). Tax experts weighed in on the chunk Uncle Sam might take from any such death benefits, while Business Insider confirmed that gay-friendly Google offers the exact same package to same-sex partners. But by far the most common response was slack-jawed appreciation that a company would spend so much on something that so clearly won't benefit the bottom line.
"Obviously there's no benefit to Google," Bock told Casserly, before explaining that it's nonetheless, "important to the company to help our families through this horrific if inevitable life event." At least one commentator though isn't so sure there's no upside to the company aside from living up to its famous 'Don't Be Evil' slogan. Megan Garber, writing for the Atlantic, applauds the benefits as "awesome and admirable," but she's not entirely convinced they're just the result of the very rich firm's do-gooder impulses. When it comes to the war for talent, Google has brought out the big guns, she argues:
Death benefits do indeed accrue to the business. People always want to protect their families; in fact, they tend to care much more about that then they do about the freshness of the quinoa salad being served in the cafeteria. Google is leveraging that fact. It's essentially providing in-house life insurance to its employees–insurance that's contingent, of course, on those people remaining employees. Leaving Google–for Twitter, for Apple, for whatever–also means depriving your family, eventually, of your weirdly lucrative death.
What do you think of Google's impressive death benefits–generosity personified, the ultimate retention strategy, or a little bit of both?

rigor and validity.
Validity in research refers to the extent researchers can be confident that the cause and effect they identify in their research are in fact causal relationships. If there is low validity in a study, it usually means that the research design is flawed and the results will be of little or no value. Four different aspects of validity should be considered when reviewing a research design: statistical conclusion validity, internal validity, construct validity, and external validity. In this Discussion, you consider the importance of each of these aspects in judging the validity of quantitative research.
To prepare:
· Review the information in Chapter 10 of the course text on rigor and validity.
· Read the method section of one of the following quasi-experimental studies (also located in this week's Learning Resources). Identify at least one potential concern that could be raised about the study's internal validity.
o Metheny, N. A., Davis-Jackson, J., & Stewart, B. J. (2010). Effectiveness of an aspiration risk-reduction protocol. Nursing Research, 59(1), 18–25.
o Padula, C. A., Hughes, C., & Baumhover, L. (2009). Impact of a nurse-driven mobility protocol on functional decline in hospitalized older adults. Journal of Nursing Care Quality, 24(4), 325–331.
o Yuan, S., Chou, M., Hwu, L., Chang, Y., Hsu, W., & Kuo, H. (2009). An intervention program to promote health-related physical fitness in nurses. Journal of Clinical Nursing, 18(10), 1,404–1,411.
· Consider strategies that could be used to strengthen the study's internal validity and how this would impact the three other types of validity.
· Think about the consequences of an advanced practice nurse neglecting to consider the validity of a research study when reviewing the research for potential use in developing an evidence-based practice.
Post the title of the study that you selected and your analysis of the potential concerns that could be raised about the study's internal validity. Propose recommendations to strengthen the internal validity and assess the effect your changes could have with regard to the other three types of validity. Discuss the dangers of failing to consider the validity of a research study.

Lemon has been a popular addition to mixed drinks since the earliest recipes were put to paper. In the 1700s it was used as a popular addition to large punches, as the fruit helped perk up the acidity level of the mixture and, when mixed with sugar and spices, could offset the often dubious quality of the base spirit. In the carribean, various imported fruits were combined to make what is now called planter's punch. In the states, it was frequently used to perk up punches like the negus punch and philadelphia fish house punch.
In the 1800s punch began to evolve into new, individually served drinks as manufactured straws and ice became more readily available. As David Wonderich notes in Imbibe!,: "The glass of Punch went forth in the new land and multiplied, begetting a whole host of other drinks. Even the Cobbler, an unpunchy drink if ever there was one, can be seen as one of its offshoots, combining as it does wine, sugar, ice, and a couple of slices of citrus shaken in." Indeed, lemon followed this transformation and became a popular adornment atop afternoon drinks like the sherry cobbler, morning sippers like the morning glory fizz, and dinner accompaniments like the whiskey sour and brandy crusta. That final drink would become a precursor to a host of sours served up, as the shaker slowly replaced the toddy stick and bars at the turn of century began fixing things like the sidecar, aviation, and last word.
Unlike bottled spirits, which are typically manufactured and tested for consistency, lemons are a natural product of the earth and therefore vary in flavor and acidity. Of course, industry is always apt to solve nature's "inefficiencies", and as such bottled lemon can be procured at any supermarket. You will never see us recommend this stuff, and for good reason: it tastes really bad. We wouldn't use it in our food, our cocktails, or to clean our floors, if we did that kind of thing. Yes, lemons are annoying to juice and vary in flavor, but if you wanted something easy, why not stick to jack and coke? Working with fresh lemons adds a new variable, but nothing that can't be easily handled: before you serve any drink, pour a little bit into a shot glass. Try the drink, and add additional sweetener if the lemons are higher in acidity. If you are familiar with the straw trick; don't use it. The nose of the drink greatly affects your perception of the drink's balance; something that the straw trick doesn't account for.
How you juice your lemons can change the way your drink tastes. Pulp, seeds, and other impurities can be macerated into the liquid, imbibing bitterness into the mixture. In his book Liquid Intelligence, Dave Arnold writes "Forget hand reamers; they suck. Upright lever-pull citrus presses are good for grapefruits that won't fit in smaller hand presses, but they are slow. The best small-citrus press is the lowly swing-away hand press." We generally agree with Dave. If you don't already have a hand press, we suggest a stainless one, as anything with fun colors will quickly be compromised by repeat exposure to acidity. Lemon and Lime have nearly identical degrees of acidity (Arnold clocks it at 6%) which would theoretically make them interchangeable, but generally speaking this isn't true. Lemon is mostly citric acid, while lime is a combination of citric and malic acid, giving it a much smoother, fruitier taste. Drinks like the jack rose, aviation, and presbyterian are all excellent places to start.
Fresh lemon peel is more than just a pretty decoration: the oils locked in the peel of lemon have a very different scent that that contained in the juice. If you pick up a glass of lemon juice and smell it, you won't notice much. In fact: if you ever bottle lemon and lime juice for a party, you would be wise to label them, as they are ripe for mixing up. Peel is where the lemon flavor that we taste in candies and cakes is actually found, and when you twist or bruise a lemon peel, you are imparting the same wonderful scent to your drink. Classics like the brandy crusta, sazerac, clover club, and martinez all show the wonderful and amazing power of the peel.
A lemon twist will impart similar qualities as a lemon peel, but the lower surface area reduces the impact for more delicate flavor profiles. This is great in delicate gin drinks like the martini, turf, and fair Harvard. Making lemon twists is easiest with a citrus zester, but if you don't have one, try making a lemon peel with a traditional peeler, then cutting it into thin strips with a knife. The extra legwork might rub off a bit of the oil, but it won't ruin the drink. Peeling the citrus over the drink will mist even more oil onto the glass, amplifying the impact. This isn't always necessary, and depends on the drink.
A lemon wheel is a bit showier than a peel. To make one, choose a smaller lemon and slice the end off. Make another cut a few millimeters into the lemon, slicing off a circular wheel. You can make one more slit halfway down the middle of the slice for placing on the edge of the glass.

This 180-degree panorama shows the southward vista from the location where Spirit is spending its third Martian winter inside Mars' Gusev Crater. The rover's overwintering location is on the northern edge of a low plateau informally called "Home Plate," which is about 80 meters or 260 feet in diameter.
This view combines 168 different exposures taken with Spirit's panoramic Camera (Pancam)—42 pointings with 4 filters at each pointing. Spirit took the first of these frames during the mission's 1,477th Martian day, or sol, (February 28, 2008) two weeks after the rover made its last move to reach the location where it would stop driving for the winter. Solar energy at Gusev Crater is so limited during the Martian winter that Spirit does not generate enough electricity to drive, nor even enough to take many images per day. The last frame for this mosaic was taken on Sol 1599 (July 2, 2008). The rover team plans for Spirit to finish taking images for the northern half of the scene during the Martian spring.
The northwestern edge of Home Plate is visible in the right foreground. The blockier, more sharply shadowed texture there is layered sandstone whose layering is tilted inward toward the edge of the Home Plate platform. A dark rock on top of Home Plate in that area is a porous volcanic basalt unlike rocks nearby. The northeastern edge of Home Plate is visible in the left foreground. Spirit first climbed onto Home Plate on that region, in early 2006.
Rover tracks from driving by Spirit are visible on Home plate in the center and right of the image. These were made during Spirit's second exploration on top of the plateau, which began when Spirit climbed onto the southern edge of Home Plate in September, 2007.
In the center foreground, the turret of tools at the end of Spirit's robotic arm appears in duplicate because the arm was repositioned between the days when the images making up that part of the mosaic were taken.
On the horizon, the highest point is "McCool Hill." This is one of the seven larger hills in the Columbia Hills range. Home Plate is in the inner basin of the range, between McCool Hill to the south and "Husband Hill" to the north. To the right of McCool Hill, in the center of the image and closer to Home Plate, is a smaller hill capped with a light-toned outcrop. This hill is called "Von Braun," and it is a possible destination the rover team has discussed for the next season of driving by Spirit, after the solar energy level increases in the Martian spring. The flat horizon in the right-hand portion of the panorama is the basaltic plain onto which Spirit landed on Jan. 4, 2004.
This is a false-color, red-green-blue composite panorama generated from images taken through the Pancam's 750-nanometer, 530-nanometer and 430-nanometer filters. The false color enhances visibility of differences among the types of rock and soil material in the image.
