The two Greek carriers had made an attempt to merge in 2010 but the E.U. competition authorities had blocked the deal citing anti-competitive concerns. Capital.gr said that E.U. officials are now considering the fact that a second rejection of the Olympic-Aegean merger could result to the collapse of one of the two carriers.
"Aegean has not received any notice or information from the European Commission on the - positive or negative - final outcome of the examination process for the intended acquisition of Olympic Air," Aegean told Capital.gr. The carrier said a final decision on the merger with Olympic Air will be announced on 16 October 2013.
Aegean Airlines and Marfin Investment Group (MIG) last October reached an agreement on the 100% sale of Olympic Air to Aegean for 72 million euros. The former state carrier Olympic Air has been owned by Marfin Investment Fund since it was privatized in 2009.(ANSAmed).

The lovely GP gave me some new inhalers, some steroid tablets, antibiotics for my sinuses and a nebuliser to help me calm down and get as much of the good stuff into my lungs as possible. Having pumped myself full of drugs on Friday, I had a much better night, managing to sleep from midnight to 4am, and then 6am til 10am (lovely Jamie got up with J-cub, despite him also having the sinus stuff going on). (The reason for me being up at 4am was because I woke coughing, popped a Strepsil in my mouth, and then took a puff of my inhaler. And swallowed the Strepsil whole. Doh! I had to get up to make sure I wasn't going to die and then I couldn't get back to sleep).
Last night, however, was a repeat of Thursday night, with me not managing to stop coughing long enough to fall asleep until well after dawn broke. I was up again at 9am to take all my meds, and then spent several hours back in bed, trying to make up for my post-5am bedtime.
The consequence of all this (apart from getting to indulge in a lot of self-pity) is that we really haven't done anything all day. It's been a day of trying to encourage J-cub to entertain himself, which thankfully he is very adept at.
He's all about the sense of touch at the moment, he loves to follow up his pointing with a careful one-fingered touch of whatever he's looking at, which might extend into a full-palmed touch and even a grab-and-hug-to-his-cheek if the item is particularly lovely. When my mum came to stay last week, she brought a large square of gorgeous red fleece for me to make nappy liners out of. I only needed a small strip off one end for that, so the rest of it was left as a lovely soft floor mat. J-cub loves fleece more than anything - when we put fleece mats on the floor he spends his time alternating between gently touching it, doing downward dog, and having a full face-down rest so as much of his skin as possible is touching the mat.
We arranged the mat on the floor and set up stations of toys around the edge, and he delighted us by crawling around, selecting the toys he wanted, then taking them one by one to the centre of the mat to sit and play with them. Cups featured heavily, as did his 1st birthday balloons which are still going strong.
I took tons of photos, and many fulfil my 'Look Up' brief, so I've stored some away for days when I forget. I love this photo, it captures him perfectly: sitting with his ankles crossed, holding cups, wide-eyed and incredulous.

Kim Myhr, Tony Buck, Ingar Zach & Hans Hulbaekmo
You | Me
Structured over two sides, Myhr has created two continuously shifting and shimmering long-form pieces centred on a rhythmic, pulsing refrain.
In recent years, composer and guitarist Kim Myhr has been one of the leading voices on the experimental music scene in Norway and his style is perfectly exemplified here. As reflected in the beautiful cover photograph of a seascape, an image which Kim Myhr says he imagined for the cover before any sound was recorded, the music on 'You | me' is suitably oceanic: a tidal flow of immersive sound saturated with the flotsam and jetsam of incidental detail. the album's constant rhythms are provided by three guests: drummers Tony Buck (The Necks), Ingar Zach (Huntsville, Dans les Arbres) and Hans Hulbekmo (Atomic, Moskus, Broen).

Innovate Behind The Scenes
Clip Cut (Post)
Editing mainly came down to Matt, this was due to his knowledge of video and audio editing being to a much higher standard then ours. My part played in this process was director; Matt would editor the trailer together using my story boards as a guide followed by me overseeing is result and editing to what I thought was best.
This took us SIX days!
For the trailer we wanted it to finish on a zoomed in image of the 3D Printer, this required the use of Cinema 4D (Again Matts Expertise).
This was the first outcome of the 3D Printer. Our responses where quite positive because we didn't have much time left before hand in. But Matt in his own time developed a bit more…
Clip Cut (Production)
Five Locations
- Bingham Road (Childs Bedroom)
- Bingham Road (Present Bedroom)
- Cliff Side
- Lecture Room
- Presentation Room
Our chosen locations where an important decision in our filming; trying to find the best play which will show the emotion and the story to a high standard. When filming the cliff scene we where quite lucky with our timing; it was around sunset and the colour which was being produced on our shots was incredible. Professional film standard.
When starting with filming we started with a Sony 41E Camera, long story short the quality of the filming was rubbish, but luckily Matt our Camera man owned a Canon 550D. The improvement on our shots was increased substantially.
Taking us a total of three days to do all our Production, we thought we where ahead of schedule when we finished.
We under estimated how long editing would take…
Clip Cut (Pre-Production)
Our main idea; an online channel that brings you the latest and exclusive content which focuses in on technological advances. Our channel includes things such as trailers and behind the scenes to the films being promoted by ClipCut. (Inspiration from things such as Vivo)
To secure a futuristic outlook through the channel, we decided to stick to a simplistic colour scheme of grey and white which also helped with our theme of technology. Not only did it achieve this theme, the
colours do not interfere with the clips and images that are also included on the channel which helps attract the audiences eye to the most important aspect of the channel. As the channel developed and more films were produced, categories
would be created on the website to keep the interface easy and quick to navigate.
After deciding to re-brand our logo, we decided to relate the logo to films in which we created two
C's to show Clip and Cut as well as it relating to an old fashioned film reel, by having it to a similar shape, it expresses the progress of technology through film. After experimenting with colour, we decided that using a maroon and grey looked to corporate so we decided to stick to the grey theme, which also matches the website.
For the first scene (of our protagonists bedroom as a child) we had to create all the drawings (props) our selves.
Target Age Audience (Channel Brief)
Having a well-defined target market is more important than ever. No one can afford to target everyone.
We are going to set the start age for our target age audience at 18.
We felt that if we started from an earlier age we would have to make the trailer of Innovate more
suited to a child like audience. When in College and School the views of life can be a bit narrowed minded, compared to when you leave home and go to University or start on your career, our trailer having a Inspirational theme layout, from the age of 18 upwards people viewers would understand our message more clear.
Showing that from a young age of 18-19 anything is possible.
The Next Story Board (Channel Brief)
Kate an overachieving technology student becomes inspired and believes she has the ability to create a piece of equipment which can generate food from air particles, her idea if made would change the world forever. When presenting her idea to a company, the company takes a turn on her ideas which she did not expect; belittling her and destroying the possibilities she thought could be generated she gets ridiculed. Resulting in her beliefs in herself being destroyed. What will happen to Kate? Will she give up on her idea and possibly not continue with her technological future? Or will she step back up and prove the company wrong?
Scene ends.
Scene One-Kate's Childhood Bedroom
The scene slowly fades in from darkness, lighting up onto a floor panoramic of a childs bedroom. The room has children's pictures covering the walls left to right, with a mess of colouring pencils and toys on the floor. The camera slowly flows along with the room, a desk is in camera view.
The shot changes to a closer view of the desk, the surface covered in pens and colouring drawings.
The shot changes coming closer to the pictures pinned up onto the wall, the camera followings the pictures left to right, camera clear and close.
Scene ends.
Scene Two-Phillip Ledworth Lecture
The scene begins with over shoulder shots of a man in a suit; giving a lecture to university students on a biography of a failed designer called Phillip Ledworth (His story for-shadows the film).
The shot changes to the students watching the lecturer, Kate sitting in the middle.
The shot changes to Kate's face.
Scene ends.
Scene Three-Kate's Friends House
The camera follows Kate walking into a house, a friend of hers.
The shot changes to her sat on a sofa, an over the shoulder view focuses on piles of paper on a table in the middle of the room.
The shot changes to the edge of the table, with the papers in view. Kate's face in shot.
Shot switches back to an over the shoulder view, the writing on the papers is clear.
Shot switches to side view of Kate's face.
Scene Ends.
Scene Four-Computer Research
Animation of Computer Research on 3d Printers. Presentation Preparation.
Scene Ends.
Scene Five-The Waiting Room
Shot raises onto Kate sitting outside a door, as if in a waiting room. Camera is focused on the door, with Kate floated left to door.
Scene Ends
Scene Six-The Presentation, an unexpected turn
Shot raises to Kate standing in front of her presentation.
Shot switches to an over Kate's shoulder view of three people sat at the end of a conference table (Business Men).
Shot switches back to Kate, tone has changed, Kate's hopes and dreams have been crushed.
Scene ends.
Scene Seven-To Breaking Point
Side face shot of Kate walking fast down a corridor.
Back shot of Kate walking down a road, her slowly speeding up into a sprint.
Faraway side view of Kate running up to the end of a cliff face.
Back shot of Kate at cliff edge.
Kate takes her mobile out of her pocket and brings it up to her ear.
Scene ends.
Scene Eight-Revisiting The Past
Home – The childhood freak out
Finds the piece of monopoly.
"From 1994" (Channel Brief)
Our opening scene means a lot to me, believing the this has to be taken in with the most care for people to become hooked to the trailer.
This site above contains a short film called "From 1994", the first shots in this film are of a childs bedroom, this is how we want to start our trailer. A connection to the past for the viewer, our main time in the trailer is 2024, but we are filming in 2014… This bedroom is a connection to us.
A Meeting (Channel Project)
Straight in there the group thought that the idea was great and we should develop it.
First hand we went off on doing three individual trailers about the same subjects we had chosen for the original idea, but after begining the story boarding it became apparent to us that this would be incredibly time consuming and we wouldn't finish on time. So we came to the conclusion we should do 1 trailer and then have 2 other videos done in a documentary style (aboutthefilm).
With these issues finalised are next course of action was the name of our channel, the logo and the name of our film.
It probably sounds like we are going in the wrong order with our processing, but we are taking things in the order which inspires us most and comes to mind first.
Time To Hit The Refresh Button (Channel Brief)
I watched this in a lecture in the first term and it popped into my head again when we realised we had to refresh our idea.
Trailers are ways of showing teasers of films before they are released, they can touch peoples emotions and show off the best parts of movies to hook people to want to see them. Even the worst of films can have really good trailers.
Recently watching the 'Jobs' movie trailer (filmonstevejobs) an idea came to mind.
We could create a movie trailer for a movie about the person who created the 3d Printer replicator in 2024.

These cute marbled clay shamrock pins can be worn to ward off any pinches on St Patrick's Day! They're easily made from oven bake clay and make a fun kid's craft. See how we made them below.
St. Patrick's Day Shamrock Clay Pins – Materials:
– Oven bake clay (we used Sculpey brand which is our favorite, in greens and white)
– Small shamrock cookie cutter
– Hot glue gun
*You'll also need a rolling pin and baking pan.
Step 1. Let kids marble the colors by breaking off small pieces and blending them together with their hands.
Step 2. Roll out the clay to about 3/8″ thickness.
Step 4. Place clay shamrocks on a parchment lined baking pan and bake according to your oven bake clay instructions. We ended up baking ours for 20 minutes at 275 degrees. Let cool.
Step 5. Apply a glue along the pin backings and place firmly on the back of each shamrock. Allow to dry before wearing. You're done!
The kids loved the pretty swirly marbled look of the pins. The turned out so cute!
They can't wait to wear them on St. Patrick's Day and hand them out to their friends for good luck!

How To Protect Your Computer Against Spyware And Adware
Cookies are harmless compared to spam, viruses, worms, spyware and Adaware. Most of us spend a lot of time trying to fight the battle, which is easy to fight if you know how to fight and have the right tools. Fighter ever goes into battle without proper training or tools and weapons of war and the specific type of terrain orshe goes, so you should do the same and be prepared before you go online to fight to protect your sanity, your personal information on the enemy . Sometimes we find ourselves in the enemy just doing the thing you should do before, such as downloading and installing freeware, especially file-sharing software, making the search (Google or your favorite search, for example), anti-spyware to download and install to protect yourself and your computer.
Now, what is adware, you might ask? - Adware is a program that displays advertisements on your computer. These are ads that inexplicably pop up display, even when you are browsing the Internet. Some companies offer "free" software in exchange for display advertising. And 'the way they make their money.
What is spyware? - Spyware is software that sends your personal information to third parties without your permission or knowledge. This may include information about the sites you visit or something more sensitive like your user name and password. Unscrupulous companies often use this information to send you unsolicited targeted advertisements.
My computer (desktop or laptop) infected with spyware? - The biggest problem that most people either find a program like this is causing performance problems with their computers. For example, Internet Explorer may no longer work properly, the computer may crash more frequently, or the computer may slow down significantly (snail can seem much faster than a laptop or desktop), even if you have a lot of memory ( RAM - Memory Module) installed. Removing spyware successfully is difficult enough to avoid the first priority.
Adware and spyware are usually not allowed to install on your computer hidden in two ways:
1. Abuse by clicking on a link that installs it. Spyware can be misleading links. For example, a Web site that is trying to push spyware on your computer might open a window that looks like a Windows dialog box, then trick the user through the installation when you click the Cancel button to close the window box. Sometimes the spyware pushers to set up a fake title bar, an empty box, and then install spyware when you try to close the window.
2. Installing freeware that includes it. For example, you can install a free file-sharing program that install spyware on your computer. File sharing programs can be a great conveyor of adware.
Once installed, spyware can transmit your personal information and download advertisements 24 hours a day. It can also hijack your browser settings, such as your home page or search page.
Protection from spyware and adware
Without help, you have no way to prevent adware or spyware. Old antivirus programs do not even prevent adware, since they do not consider them viruses or worms. First, you usually give permission to install adware, although you do not know it, because the adware and spyware pushers are deceptive. Second, the adware does not behave like a typical virus or worm. They do not usually real harm to your computer, other than performance of demolition, and they spread using your address book. (Although some kinds of adware can break your anti-spyware tools.)
Things are changing for the better, though. Most popular products now include anti-virus Adware and Spyware Scan. For example, today the new versions of McAfee VirusScan, Norton AntiVirus 2004, and Trend Micro PC-Cillin 2004 adware and spyware scan.
In addition, some Internet Service Providers (ISP) to establish a protection against spyware and adware. For example, America Online (AOL) announced in January spyware as an improvement in AOL 9.0 Optimized. EarthLink also provides protection against spyware and adware with the latest version of its software. Of course, to enjoy the built-in protection that antivirus and Internet providers offer, you must upgrade to the latest versions, and keep the current firm Anti-Spyware/Adware.
Avoid installing unwanted
Companies are pushing adware and spyware depend on two things: his desire for free software and your gullibility. I had two friends bring me their computers after they have been seriously infected with adware. In one case, the culprit of my friend wants a free file sharing software. His office was a mess with the icons of programs that a number of download. I was appalled. What he does not know is that he gave implicit permission to install adware. He knows better.
My other friend is not a freeware glutton. Instead, she used to click Yes or OK buttons on every dialog box she sees. Even the dialog boxes that do not pass suspicious scrutiny. Of course, when a dialog box asking if it is OK to install a new program, she clicks the Yes button.
A lesson to be learned from my friend to help prevent the installation of most adware and spyware:
First make sure that the programs you install do not contain adware. Many freeware programs do include adware. This is how the publishers make their money. If you are not sure, read the license agreement (generally represented directly or via links through the installation process). Also visit the website of the publisher carefully. If you are still not sure, search Google Groups for the program name and adware or spyware keywords. If you can not find posts about it so you're probably OK.
2. Install a popup blocker to prevent adware and spyware pop-ups. Most spyware is installed after clicking a link in a popup window misleading. Install a pop-up, and not even the temptation of clicking on links. My two favorite pop-ups are completely free. The first is the new MSN Toolbar. The second is the Google toolbar. Pop-ups are annoying waste of time anyway, so it will be appreciated later. If you are a user of Windows XP, select a service pack this summer (Service Pack 2), including a series of high security features, and a pop-up Internet Ex
3. Do not unwittingly install adware or software. If you do not choose what seems innocuous link, and then you will see a dialog box similar to Figure 1, do not click the Yes button to install the program. In this example, I waited to install the program from Microsoft so I feel safe. If you are unsure, do not continue. This dialog is the last line of defense, and you should only install programs from the Internet that has been installed. This is like giving someone your credit card number, who calls you at home. It 'a different story when he was appointed. Installing Windows XP SP 2 (when it becomes available later this summer) will also help by suppressing unsolicited downloads the ActiveX controls (a popular vehicle spyware).
Some spyware scanners and antivirus spyware signatures can help combat spyware. However, the best strategy is to be choosy about what you choose to download and install.
Check your computer
If you do not even have to scan your computer for adware and spyware so you're probably familiar with some of the symptoms I described earlier in this article. These include instability, performance problems, or possibly a hijacked Web browser.
It 'a software designed to detect spyware and adware, and help you remove it. With whom I am most familiar is Ad-aware from Lavasoft. This is a program that I recommend most of my friends. The freeware version is available for people at home. The commercial version is also available for use in a corporate environment. Program such as Ad-aware finds adware and spyware on your computer and then delete them.
You can find more adware and spyware removal tool and spyware removal guide. This site contains links to popular programs spyware removal software and a number of useful articles. If you do not use a program as popular Ad-aware, however, groups Google search for the name of the program you choose. Some software spyware removal can cause as many problems as it fixes, and you want to know more about these issues before using the software to prove.
Tip: dairy products, a Microsoft MVP, offers this tip in Windows XP Newsgroups: "It is best to run antivirus software and tools for spyware removal in safe mode." This is because the removal tools sometimes can not remove spyware from your computer while it is running.

Opinion ARTICLE
Making progress in non-human mental time travel
- Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, SAGE Center for the Study of the Mind, University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, USA
Humans can remember unique past events and plan for the future and they can imagine themselves at these events when they are not currently occurring, an ability often called mental time travel and thought to be distinctly human (Suddendorf and Corballis, 2007). The behavior of many non-human species indicates that they can also remember unique past events to plan for the future, however it is not known whether they actually imagine themselves outside of the present (Clayton et al., 2003).
Corballis (2013a,b) recently commented on new research on the hippocampus (a brain region involved in spatial navigation) showing that rats may be able to imagine themselves in situations other than their current one because when resting they replay particular neurological sequences indicated by the firing of "place cells" associated with familiar and novel spatial trajectories (Gupta et al., 2010). Corballis considers this possible evidence that non-humans imagine themselves in the past and future and, thus, mentally travel in time. I agree that non-humans likely do imagine themselves in the past and future, however, it is important to note that while both humans and non-humans activate these neurological sequences to engage in goal-directed behavior (Ekstrom et al., 2003), there is no direct evidence yet that these sequences indicate that imagination or planning is involved (Gupta et al., 2012). These studies lack evidence from brain imaging studies that link imagination and planning to the neurological sequences associated with spatial trajectories.
Brain imaging studies would also help evaluate Corballis (2013a,b) and Suddendorf's (2013) claim that human mental time travel is more complex than that in non-humans because we can imagine not only locations, but also other aspects of particular scenarios including "… people, things, places, [and] actions" (Corballis, 2013a, p. 5). It is too early to arrive at this conclusion due to the lack of research investigating imagination in non-humans as well as the absence of non-human mental time travel experiments that examine behavior and neurological activity at the same time. To understand what mental processes are involved in mental time travel, we must look at what mental processes are occurring in the brain when performing behavioral experiments. Investigating the question of what non-humans can imagine requires studying neurological activity across the whole brain, not just the hippocampus, since brain areas outside of the hippocampus are active when humans imagine other individuals, objects, and actions (e.g., Decety, 1996; Hassabis et al., 2013; Schlegel et al., 2013; see Polyn and Sederberg, 2014 for a review). Investigations of whole brain activity combined with creative experimental designs could determine whether non-humans use imagination to mentally travel in time.
Examining Whole Brain Activity
While the advancement of technology will open avenues for studying neurobiology at greater spatial and temporal resolutions, progress is also being made using existing technology in new ways (e.g., examining bird brain activity from real-time behavior using micro-PET scans: Marzluff et al., 2012; Cross et al., 2013). These advances have broadened our ability to test hypotheses about the complexity of non-human cognition.
Investigations of whether imagination and planning are involved in the replay of neurological sequences associated with space will benefit from a research approach that combines technologies. One such approach could use the hippocampal tetrodes that record place cell activity in conjunction with electrocorticography (ECoG) and positron emission tomography (PET) to detect which other brain regions are active during replay events. ECoG has a high temporal resolution (on the order of milliseconds) and the implanted electrodes allow the animal to behave normally (i.e., not anesthetized in a scanner; Buzsáki et al., 2012). PET has a low temporal resolution, but allows a higher resolution of active brain areas thus complimenting the lower spatial resolution of ECoG. PET also allows brain activity to be examined in the context of normal behavior because the scans detect positively charged particles that result from the metabolism of a radioactive glucose tracer. It takes several minutes for the tracer to be metabolized sufficiently to represent all of the neural activity during the time of interest, thus giving experimenters time to conduct the behavioral trials and then anesthetize and scan the subject. Indeed, a study using ECoG and PET scans found that results from the two methods were significantly in agreement and together they provided a higher resolution than each method could when used in isolation (Chandra et al., in press). Used together during mental time travel experiments, ECoG, PET, and hippocampal tetrodes could begin to illuminate whether brain areas involved in imagination and planning are active during replay events and, thus, whether non-humans imagine themselves in the past and future.
Identifying which areas in the brains of non-humans are involved in imagination and planning remains a challenge since brain structures vary across species, thus inferences cannot necessarily be based on human brain activity and anatomy (e.g., Krubitzer et al., 2011). Yet this lack of knowledge gives even more strength to the argument to examine activity from the whole brain to facilitate a solution to this problem.
Creative Experimental Designs
Experiments that require the subject to replay neurological sequences associated with spatial trajectories while at rest will be useful because they should activate the brain areas involved in imagination and planning. For example, using the Gupta et al. (2010, 2012) spatial maze, each of the four feeders could have a unique color and contain food that is more or less preferred, thus establishing an order of preference for the feeders. Keeping the subject at the starting position in the maze, a photo or video of the feeder with the preferred food shown to the resting animal should evoke the neurological sequences associated with the spatial trajectory for traveling to that feeder (see Miller et al., 2013 for a similar experimental design used for humans). Using this same paradigm, experimenters could incorporate a time component by having the preferred feeders only dispense food after a delay, while the least preferred food is always available. If the preferred foods are not available when the image is shown because an insufficient amount of time has passed for them to become accessible again, then the subject should choose the least preferred and always available feeder as represented by the neurological sequence it replays. These experimental conditions should be contrasted with control conditions in which the only difference is that no imagination is required. For instance, showing the animal a novel picture (e.g., a white background). This would test whether the animal remembers what food is where and when it should run to a particular feeder. What, where, and when are the three components of mental time travel that are detectable by observing behavior (Clayton et al., 2003). This paradigm uses an experimental design similar to that used for western scrub-jays (Clayton et al., 2003) and adds the neurobiological component necessary to determine whether non-humans also engage imagination.
To answer the question of whether non-humans imagine themselves in the past and future it is necessary to go beyond behavioral studies and investigate behavior in conjunction with brain activity. By examining activity across the whole brain in the context of creative experimental designs that test conditions requiring imagination against controls that do not, it should be possible to determine whether they imagine themselves not only in particular places, but also in the context of other individuals, objects, and actions. It is wise to reserve judgment on the distinctness of humans until comparable data, especially on the brain activity behind the behavior, exist in non-human species.

Self-Adapting Microkernel
Publication Date: 2010-Sep-08
Publishing Venue
The IP.com Prior Art Database
Kernels form the centre of operating systems- the single most important computer program in a computer system. Although each kernel is different, a number of kernel design styles have emerged with most kernels belonging either to the microkernel or monolithic kernel designs. A self-adapting microkernel (SAM) is disclosed. This is a new kernel architecture which has self-adapting facilities designed to have advantages of both monolithic and microkernel designs without any disadvantages of either. By being able to adapt itself, the SAM is able to change its behaviour and produce a computing environment which benefits user programs. In addition to this, the SAM provides a highly flexible operating system kernel which has the potential to suit a wide variety of computer systems ranging from high-performance systems to embedded systems.
Self-Adapting Microkernel
The problem of kernel design has a huge impact on any software product especially operating systems as to the performance and abilities of that product. Currently, there are three approaches to operating system kernel design: monolithic, microkernel and hybrid.
Monolithic kernels rely on the operating system kernel being a whole and complete entity during system initialisation and runtime, resulting in a fast and powerful system. However, upgrading of kernel is not possible without complete replacement - a full system shutdown is required in order for the new kernel to be updated. In addition, monolithic kernels are large in terms of their size and therefore the resources which they consume.
The Linux kernel is a monolithic kernel which employs the use of modules in order to try and reduce the footprint of the basic Linux kernel. Kernel modules are then loaded and attached during runtime to the monolithic kernel, providing the kernel with additional functionality. However, the Linux kernel still remains by design a complex, monolithic kernel system and there exist many features which cannot be included in a kernel module but must be included in the 'base' kernel.
Microkernels, are almost the opposite of monolithic kernels. They are designed to provide very little functionality with a small footprint and as a result are easy to maintain and resource efficient. Microkernels are incapable of providing a 'complete kernel' for an operating system on their own and rely on a number of 'servers' to provide specific functionality, such as device management, networking, security etc. The microkernel itself then is used by the operating system to pass messages from a user program to various servers which provide the user program with such services. Also, a microkernel based operating system does not need a complete restart to upgrade parts of the operating system because, for example, only the network server would need to be stopped to upgrade it, not the whole kernel. This advantage is also found with a modular kernel such as Linux. The problem with microkernels is that they are considered slower than monolithic kernels because they are constantly needing to pass messages.
Hybrid kernels such as the Windows NT kernel, can be considered as an attempt in order to gain the performance of a monolithic kernel but yet retain the design principles of a microkernel by having some features such as networking as part of the kernel and other parts of the kernel running in 'userspace' as if they were running as microkernel servers. The problem with the hybrid kernel approach is that it requires a larger kernel than that of a microkernel, resulting in a system with a larger footprint and is more complex to maintain but with some speed gains of a monolithic kernel and at the same time, the simplicity of a monolithic kernel is lost in a hybrid kernel as it requires the additional microkernel interfaces and message passing systems...

One of the great purposes of this book, all eight hundred and ninety six pages of its slightly smaller than breeze block size, is to fall, with all its ponderous weight, upon the poorly sourced, idiosyncratic 64 page pamphlet of John de Courcy Ireland's The Sea and the Easter Rising. It does so with a satisfying crunch, effectively replacing that thin and emaciated tome and henceforward becoming, at a stroke, the primary source for the story and, more importantly, for the documents, relating to the steamship AUD's audacious attempt, on behalf of Imperial Germany, to slip through the British naval blockade and deliver to the Irish Republican Brotherhood on the eve of the Easter Rising, over 20,000 guns, several million rounds of ammunition and a number of large clockwork bombs.
The story is told here in meticulous, even lavish detail. Indeed the detail is rather overdone, for the author has vacuumed up, like some demented Dysonian professor, virtually ever single fact that exists about the Casement arms to Ireland story. He claims that the book covers only 10% of the material he has thus collected, but it feels like, looks like and sometimes reads like not a single fact so gathered has been discarded and that they are all, and I mean all, collected together, here in the 896 page breezeblock.
It is presented as a story of heroes, in particular the heroic German crew of the tramp steamer AUD, all hand picked regular sailors of the Imperial German Navy, who disguised as Norwegian merchant men set out on their great and dangerous adventure to smuggle arms to the Irish. It traces in sometimes fascinating and often tedious detail, the early lives of the German crew, their years of imprisonment by the British and even their post war careers. The core of the AUD's story, how it avoided the Royal Navy blockade of the Atlantic and Irish Seas, is enriched by a quite brilliant study of the log books and signal traffic of all the British ships involved, including the hapless RNS Setter whose poorly trained crew actually boarded the AUD, searched her for contraband and failed to spot the guns and ammunition or the fact that the crew were German and not Norwegian, even drank whisky with the Captain and left reporting the ship as being no threat and that it should be allowed to proceed.
Treated as equal heroes, but with slightly less reverence are the crew of the German U boat, U19, that brought the leading rebel Sir Roger Casement to Banna Strand in the same secret arms-to-Ireland operation. The Capt. of that U boat, Capt Weisbach, had only the year before, been the torpedo officer, the trigger man, on U boat U20 when it had sank the Lusitania. But as recorded here, in minute detail, he was received as a hero in Ireland during the 1966 50th anniversary celebrations of the Rising, while most of the rest of the world still considered the Lusitania episode as an atrocity of war. In fact it is clear from the book that he was received as a hero in Cobh, no doubt at Casement Square Cobh, named after his brave and martyred 1916 passenger. It had previously been known as Scott Square and had been used in 1915, to lay out the hundreds of civilian bodies of the good Captain Weisbach's Lusitania victims.
The attempt to land Casement and the arms was in the end a complete failure. Casement came ashore from his German submarine to be arrested with his shoes still wet from the sea. Within four months he was to be hanged for High Treason. The disguised AUD, with its deadly cargo, after a frustrating and extremely dangerous wait for a Republican pilot boat in Tralee Bay, was intercepted by the Royal Navy and escorted to Queenstown (now Cobh) where the crew changed into German Imperial Navy Uniform, hoisted the Reichkriegsflagge and scuttled the ship and were taken as prisoners of war.
There has always been, in Ireland, an often bitter dispute as to why the operation failed and this book, better than any argument ever yet put forward, effectively absolves the German crews, the Kerry Republicans, the Dublin IRB or even the local IRB men from any blame whatsoever and suggests with conviction and evidence that the primary blame lay with Clan na Gael's John Devoy in America. This book will not end that debate. Such debates simply do not end in Ireland. But it will and does provide, for the first time, the raw material with which to pick your way through it and from which you can, if you wish, reach your own conclusion. I for one accept the authors view.
There is such a wealth of minute detail in this book. Too much in fact. At 896 pages it is far too long. Max Caufield wrote the entire story of the Easter Rising in 456 pages; De Valera's very substantial biography by Coogan only made 800 pages and Professor Hart's weighty study of Michael Collins comes in at a mere 485 pages. There is a slight failure here to sort the wheat from the chaff. Yet it by its weight, both physical and intellectual, it will establish itself as an important text on the History of the Rising.
Most historians, in their obsession with gathering information on their chosen subjects, have slight anorak tendencies. They are in abundant display in this heavy and massive tome. Indeed, most people who read such books, including me, share to a lesser degree, the same anorak tendencies. Here, my favourite anorak story, is the information that the mother of the German Capt of the AUD was the great-granddaughter of the famous family of perfume makers "Eau de Cologne" (4711). It is not entirely clear how much this adds to an understanding of the AUD's gunrunning adventure. It is quite possible that it could lead to "Eau de Cologne" becoming the favourite Eau de Toilette of Republican Activists throughout Ireland. Maybe not. But no one will seriously question the substantial achievement of the author in completing such a comprehensive study of the thrilling story of the AUD, and nor will they question that the book, for all its faults, makes an equally substantial contribution to the history of the sea and the Easter Rising.

Onnara is a form of underwear for women of all ages. It is the traditional underwear among the Hindu women in Kerala (the southern most state of India).Onnara, is a tight dothi tied in a certain manner in such a way that it is tight, and can't be untied without wearers will
A cotton (handloom) cloth of size 6 muzham × 3 muzham (1 muzam = 1.5 ft approximately) is used to drape around the waist, in a particular style) under the outer garment (pavada, saree, or mundu).
Other names[edit]
Onnara is also called thaar in some parts of the state. The word is more often used in the southern part of Kerala; onnara is mostly a northern Kerala usage. However, there are certain differences in wearing thaar, over Onnara. Thaar is simpler than the onnara in the wearing style. There are different types of thaar too.
In olden days,[when?] the tradition said that the people should visit the temple in the morning and evening, wearing onnara because having a dip and coming to temple with wet garments was strictly prohibited as it exhibited the body parts to others. Both men and women wore it, but women in particular wore it at home and as an inner garment while going out.[1]
Nowadays it is increasingly being uses by women of all classes of society. Onnara (thaar) is an undergarment for women, and is not for males.
Medical benefits[edit]
Onnara provides enough support and covers the vulva completely giving enough space for absorption of secretions and at the same time gives ample space for free air circulation as it is worn loose in those areas. Even during menstruation, it prevents side way leakage and feel of uneasiness due to its breadth.[1]

A smallish campaign with a homemade list would not be likely to yield much of a result. To achieve anything worthwhile, a much more aggressive effort is needed. Then, the age-old value analysis applies: projected earnings = margin on total projected sales - cost of campaign.ReplyDelete

One chilly night in 1570, the city of Strasbourg held its first ever Christmas market, and it was such a great success that every year since, the tradition has been continued in impeccable style. In fact, the Strasbourg market was the first of its kind in Europe and these days, the city is fondly hailed as the 'Capital of Christmas' for this very reason. Perched on the border of France, this wonderful city soaks up the best of both French and German culture. There's a real buzz on the streets around Christmas time throughout the city, and visitors will find it very easy to slip into the spirit of it all. Thousands of lights line the streets, twinkling in the night's sky. They illuminate the paths ready for shoppers to weave their way through the carefully selected array of stalls that brim with delicious Christmas delights, local crafts and lovingly made toys. The Christmas tree soars 30 metres into the sky, and is clearly the centrepiece of the occasion. At the foot of the tree, choirs and orchestras can be heard, bringing the festive cheer to the crowds, through music. The ice rink glows invitingly- a gift very much welcomed by those who didn't quite get the white Christmas they were wishing for. It's one of the largest of its kind in the whole of Europe, where the festivity and spirit flows throughout the city to eleven separate sites, but it doesn't lose its charm as a result.
Visit from the 27th November- 31st December
Around 180 stalls fill the streets of Nuremberg's old quarter in the run up to Christmas, and every year around two million people make the journey from all over the world to pass through this wonderfully festive display. Tradition is a key element here, and stalls are regulated to ensure that only items closely in keeping with the time of year are sold, eliminating any modern products, that might lack Christmas character. Instead, hand crafted toys, decorations and homemade delicacies are just a small portion of items providing the allure. The huge, glowing ferris wheel stands tall between the carousel and the steam train, all an intricate part of this grand spectacle that illuminates the dark winter's sky. There is plenty for young ones to enjoy, but for the mums and dads, there are a number of traditional Christmas drinks to warm your socks on a cold evening, so treat yourself to a glass of mulled wine and a traditional smoked German sausage. Make sure you take home one of the 'Nuremberg Plumb People', the perfect souvenir to remind you of this wonderful occasion. Although, enjoy it whilst you can, as these are made from real prunes. Visit from the 27th November – 24th December
Snow on the roofs of quaint wooden stalls, lights sparkling, and the smell of gingerbread filling the air, this truly is a magical affair. Snow lies on the ground at this time of year in Estonia, almost guaranteed. So it's no surprise that people flock here every year to catch a glimpse of this winter wonderland, which couldn't resemble a fairy tale any more if it tried. Tallinn's Christmas market has a more intimate feel to it than others, as with only 60 stalls, guests can comfortably navigate the area and won't miss out on a thing. Local cuisines such as sour cabbage and black blood pudding are on offer for the adventurous, but for those of you who like to play it safe, some more universal festive treats are also available. Children will particularly enjoy this market as they will be gifted with the chance to meet real reindeer, to play with Santa's elves and to meet the main man himself. Ice sculptures are built before your very eyes, before becoming illuminated as part of the enchanting lighting display.
Visit from 20th November – 8th January

Section 8 has the provision : AG
Attorney-General Mukul Rohatgi has advised ESL Narasimhan, the Governor of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, to step in to the bitter fight between the two chief ministers over the cash for vote issue. The Governor, he has said, should monitor the investigation into the matter. Mr Narasimhan had recently sought the opinion of the Attorney-General regarding the ways of dealing with the crisis. Earlier, he had also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"The Governor has special powers under the Section 8 of the Andhra Pradesh Re organisation Act, since the two states share the capital, Hyderabad, and two different police forces have jurisdiction in the city," Mr Rohatgi advised the Governor.
Under the circumstances, the Act says the Governor has the responsibility of maintaining law and order in Hyderabad. "Hence, the Governor can summon the two state police and get them to report to him on this case and he can monitor it," Mr Rohatgi said.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu claims his phone had been illegally tapped on the orders of the Telangana Chief Minister following the alleged attempt by a legislator of his party to buy votes ahead of the legislative council elections in Telangana.
Last week, he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss the issue. Sources said he had demanded a probe into the matter. Reports say he had also accused the Governor of partisanship. Mr Naidu and his Telangana counterpart, K Chandrasekhar Rao, are currently fighting over which police will be deployed on his security detail.
His party, the Telugu Desam, has demanded that the Section 8 of the Andhra Pradesh reorganisation Act be implemented, under which Law and order in Hyderabad will be under the charge of the Governor.

Stuffed food is good food.
Stuffed shells, stuffed tomatoes, stuffed mushrooms, stuffed turkey…need I continue? One of the dishes I like to make more frequently is stuffed peppers.
Normally I stuff them with ground beef or bison and rice… BUT since my dad (who doesn't eat red meat) is in town and I had some quinoa on hand, I decided to stray from my go-to and make turkey & quinoa stuffed peppers!
The prep work for this dish is a little more involved than other recipes I've posted, but it's well worth the effort. I promise.
That being said, there are a couple options to cut down on prep work:
- To blanch the peppers or not to? (channel Hamlet)
- To chop the pepper tops for filling or to leave them whole with stem for presentation?
As far as the blanching goes, I prefer to do this step even if it takes a few extra minutes. When you're only baking the peppers in the oven for about 15 minutes, they're not going to get very tender. Blanching them first really helps resolve this. So — I'd go for it, but hey, your call!
Then onto the pepper tops…okay, so this is more me being practical. Sure, the pepper tops might look cool on the stuffed peppers for presentation, but they'll usually just go to waste because really, what are you supposed to do with them at that point anyway? Sooo I chop those fellas up and put them right in the filling.
Again, I don't judge (always), do what feels right.
[metaslider id=1788]
Options and prep work aside — these stuffed peppers are fantastic.
The hearty, cheesy filling in the tender, roasted pepper make this a meal all on its own. I served it with some roasted carrots on the side (you read right — roasted carroty goodness with a drizzle of honey!), but you honestly wouldn't even need that, especially if you're having these for lunch.
Both my dad and Mirza have already been asking me to make these again, so they are a definite success!
Try these turkey & quinoa stuffed peppers and let me know your thoughts!

Bradford Factor
The Bradford factor is a great way of measuring the level of absenteeism in your workplace.
The annual sickness report in breatheHR provides a Bradford Factor score for each employee. This is calculated using the following formula:
E² x D = Bradford Factor
E represents the number of instances of absence
D represents the total number of days absent in a 52 week period
For example, if an employee was absent from work on 3 separate occasions with a total of 4 days off the calculation would look like this:
3 x 3 x 4 = 36
The employee's Bradford Factor would therefore be 36.
An employee who takes frequent short spells of sick days will have a higher Bradford Factor compared with an employee who takes infrequent but longer periods of time off sick.
For example, if an employee has a total of 7 days off sick in a year, their Bradford Factor score will be very different depending on the number of instances of absence:
- One instance of sick: 1(E) x 1(E) x 7(D) = 7 (Bradford Factor score)
- Two instances of sick: 2(E) x 2(E) x 7(D) = 28 (Bradford Factor score)
- Three instances of sick: 3(E) x 3(E) x 7(D) = 63 (Bradford Factor Score)
The Bradford Factor calculation does not take account of the reason for the absence. Therefore, it is wise to use the Bradford factor as an initial trigger for any short and frequent absence but it should never be used in isolation.

The State Liberals have called on the Weatherill Labor Government to address the estimated $1 billion road maintenance backlog in the State Budget, or risk South Australia falling further behind the rest of the nation.
According to the Civil Contractors Federation (SA), the road maintenance backlog has blown out to a staggering $1 billion which is stifling business productivity.
"Poorly maintained roads are dangerous and a handbrake on the South Australian economy," said Shadow Minister for Transport Corey Wingard.
"The Weatherill Labor Government has been ignoring our roads for years which cannot continue.
"Road maintenance isn't sexy, but it's critical to ensuring South Australians are safe on our roads and our economy is productive.
"If the Weatherill Government fails to direct funding towards this spiraling problem South Australia will continue to be left behind the rest of the nation."

The use of herbicides and better cereal seed cleaning have turned this common 'weed' into a rarely seen wild flower. It's a shame, so why not grow your own in an informal area of the garden. Very pretty grown with those other cornfield 'weeds' corn cockle and field poppy.

Everybody leads with yesterday's stock market, reopened again for the first time since last Tuesday's terror attacks and dramatically down. Everybody notes that although the Dow had its largest single-day point loss ever, in percentage terms, its 7 percent decline wasn't nearly as precipitous as the October 1987 crash's 22 percent. But, the New York Times and Wall Street Journal remind, the day's action left the Dow firmly in bear territory relative to its January 2000 peak.
The coverage notes that the down day came despite: a somewhat surprise Fed rate cut shortly before the opening bell; an announced plan by many major corporations to support their stock prices with buy-backs made possible by the SEC's loosening of constraints on such programs; President Bush's midday message of his confidence in the economy and his readiness to support a new tax cut as well as a bailout for the airline industry, one of the industry sectors, along with retail, financial, oil, and technology, that got hammered yesterday; and an e-mail-fueled grass-roots patriotic pitch to buy stocks. The Washington Post emphasizes that the stock boost machinery included Secretary of the Treasury Paul O'Neill's televised prediction of new heights for the market within 12 or 18 months, the sort of forecast, says the paper, his predecessors have avoided to protect their credibility. The few sectors that did well: defense, drugs, security, and communications.
Some of the papers seem to be doing a bit of boosting themselves. The WSJ market story begins with the always-true observation that it could have been worse, and the NYT is likewise uninstructive when it says that although stock prices plummeted after the opening bell (even, notices the paper, going down in a free fall on the Nasdaq during the New York Stock Exchange's opening two minutes of silence in honor of the terror-attack victims), and on record volume to boot, the market never succumbed to "frenzied" selling. It's also not clear from the coverage who was in the market. The NYT says many institutional investors stayed on the sidelines while the WSJ says that the selling appeared to come from big institutional investors.
All the fronts report that yesterday, President Bush described his goal regarding Osama Bin Laden by referring to Old West posters that said, "Wanted: Dead or Alive." The fronts also report that after being told directly by Pakistan's intelligence chief that failure to give Bin Laden to the U.S. will mean suffering attacks by U.S. forces, the head of Afghanistan's Taliban has asked a panel of Muslim clerics to rule on the propriety of the hand-over. The NYT and WP fronts pass along a Reuters report that meanwhile, the Taliban has moved military units armed with missiles up to the Pakistan border.
The WSJ story atop the paper's front-page worldwide news box says an unidentified U.S. senior official "signaled" that among the military plans currently under discussion are "small commando-style raids" to capture terrorists hiding in countries other than Afghanistan.
The WP goes inside to report that while most of the hijackers are now thought to have entered the U.S. with proper business or tourist visas, some of them had sneaked in to the country, and many had stayed beyond the time frame their visas allowed. The Post story and an Los Angeles Times insider both say that therefore last week's terror attacks will lead to a slowdown in President Bush's drive for some sort of liberalization of immigration strictures.
You know those emergency broadcast announcements you always hear on the radio, the ones that say, "In the event of an actual emergency you would have been instructed …"? Well, municipal and federal officials in Washington, Maryland, and Virginia must not have thought last week was an actual emergency–because, according to the WP, none of them activated the radio announcement system.
USA Today reefers word that among the material witnesses arrested by the FBI in the hijack terror investigation is a San Antonio radiologist thought to have possibly provided technical or financial support to at least one of the teams of hijackers. The paper says that officials at the University of Texas, where the doctor is a fifth-year medical resident, were "stunned" by the development. The story doesn't explain what sort of technical assistance the doctor is thought to have provided to the plotters. Is it possible that he was able to give good advice about how to defeat an airport X-ray machine?

Not long ago, my aunt — who is 82 and beginning to clean up the loose ends of her life — sent me a book I did not remember ever having owned. The title in question was "The Story About Ping," a children's book written by Marjorie Flack and illustrated by Kurt Wiese, originally published in 1933.
"I was sorting old children's books when I came upon this," my aunt wrote. "I have no idea why I have it but it seems fitting that it be returned to you." As soon as I opened it I saw what she meant: On the flyleaf was an inscription, addressed to me from the children of an old family friend and dated 1964.
I don't hold on to children's books. I've kept a few of my favorites — "The Story of Ferdinand," "Winnie-the-Pooh" — but by and large the books I read as a kid have not followed me into adulthood, at least not in physical form.
"The Story About Ping," however, was different, for as I paged through it, I realized I had no memory of the story — which involves a young duck trying to be reunited with his family on the Yangtze River — at all. No memory of the writing, no memory of the art, no memory of holding the book in my hands or listening as it was read to me, although worn as it was, it appeared to have been well-loved.
A big part of that, of course, has to do with the fact that in 1964 I was 3, and my conscious memory had not kicked in. Part of the appeal of books such as "Ferdinand" is that I remember looking at the words, the images, trying to imagine my way into their scenes. These were my first encounters with the art of reading, and they connect directly, as part of a lifelong continuum, with how I still read.
"The Story About Ping," though, offered none of that; to read it now was like reading it for the first time. I discovered (there is no other word for it) the quiet life on the river, as Ping and "his mother and his father and two sisters and three brothers and eleven aunts and seven uncles and forty-two cousins" hunted "for snails and little fishes and other pleasant things to eat."
The China here reminded me of Pearl S. Buck's "The Good Earth" or Nora Waln's "The House of Exile": a window on another world. This, too, I suppose, is a form of nostalgia, although as Buck and Waln portray it, that between-the-wars China was hardly idyllic; just two years before the publication of "The Story About Ping," Japan invaded Manchuria, triggering the Sino-Japanese War.
And yet, I wonder, is this how nostalgia gets created? "The Story About Ping" is certainly wistful, describing, as it does, a world that was disappearing even as it was being set down on the page. In that sense, it's not so different from my experience of reading it, rendered inaccessible by the lack of memory.
Until my aunt sent back this book, I would have told you that memory is a key component of nostalgia, that it's impossible to feel nostalgic for something you can't recall. But now I wonder: Maybe nostalgia is not a by-product of memory but of the lack of memory, a longing stirred by what eludes us even more.
