text: Digital Google Report: Display Engagement Flat Despite Rise of Rich Media DoubleClick blog posts detailed resultsBy Erin Griffith|August 17, 2011 Share By Erin Griffith|August 17, 2011 Share Move over, plain old Flash. Rich media display ads are taking over, according to Google's latest display benchmark report. Rich media ads served on Google's DoubleClick platform increased twofold in 2010, taking 18 percent of the ad server's business, the company reported. Animated Flash ads decreased from 74 percent to 54 percent and static image ads comprised 28 percent of the market last year. Rich media ads are defined as ads with an interaction beyond a simple click-through—users can roll over to expand the ad or watch a streaming video, for example. The style has increased in popularity as improvements in technology and bandwidth have made the complex format easier to implement, including on mobile devices and tablets. AOL's premium ad product, Project Devil, for example, is betting on higher engagement through rich media ads which behave like portals rather than banners. The company has said its engagement rates are six times higher than the regular display ads AOL's advertising business serves. But perhaps disconcerting to rich media evangelists is that the doubling of these kinds of ads had no effect on response and engagement rates, which have remained, since 2009 when Google began publishing its benchmark reports, at a paltry 0.09 percent. Web users simply do not click on display ads, no matter the type, according to the report, written by Pamela Eng, product marketing manager at Google. Beyond that, global expansion rates have fallen from their peak at 4.08 percent in April 2009 to 1.32 percent year-end 2010. The numbers are worst in the U.S., where just 1 percent of Web users expand rich media ads. In-stream video completion rates have remained flat at about 76 percent. Google's latest display advertising benchmark report was released in conjunction with the launch of Watch This Space, an advertiser-focused website dedicated to detailed benchmark data.

Destruction of Mount Gariwang Forest for Pyeongchang2018 Winter Olympics

Environmental groups stop Pyeongchang2018 cutting down forest at Mount Gariwang
The argument over the Pyeongchang2018 downhill course at Mount Gariwang continues. Recently green activists noticed that the authorities were starting to cut down trees on the mountain. The coalition of South Korean environment groups arguing with the government over the so-called restoration programme immediately protested pointing out that no agreement had yet been reached over this restoration programme. No work on the mountain is allowed to begin until this programme is agreed and the environmental coalition has so far rejected the Government's proposals for restoring the forest after the Olympics. The Department of the Environment then intervened to stop the work.
In a petition launched on Avaaz calling on the International Olympic Committee and the South Korean Government to prevent the destruction of the forest Mount Gariwang is described as:
The site of the largest plantation of wangsasre trees, a hybrid Aspen-Birch, which is only found on the Korean Peninsula. It is also the home of rare yew trees and possibly the oldest oak in South Korea. Conservationists describe Mount Gariwang as a 'Super-A' class site. Historically Gariwang mountain has a very special meaning for the Korean people. For five centuries from the late 14th century during the Chosun dynasty the mountain was under state protection during which time it was a 'royal, forbidden mountain'.

Mega Sporting Events, Politics & Security in Brazil & Scotland in 2014
by Janine Ewen, originally published on June 25, 2014 in RioOnWatch.
The World Cup in Brazil has brought unprecedented criticism of the ways in which sporting mega-events are organized and scrutiny over who actually benefits. Though distinct in context and scale, the upcoming Commonwealth Games 2014 to be hosted in Scotland draws a comparison with the World Cup in Brazil and the way such events are politically charged. The Commonwealth Games 2014 (G2014), to be hosted by the city of Glasgow in Scotland has been described by Shona Robison, Scotland's Minister for Sport and Equality, as having the "core value of equality, aiming to engage individuals from all backgrounds." The event will begin on July 23, just ten days after the World Cup final in Brazil. Just a few days before the World Cup kicked off in São Paulo last week, President Dilma Rousseff hosted an exclusive dinner for journalists and other critics of the World Cup to promote the investment on infrastructure projects in Brazil and to dissolve uncertainty of FIFA's presence in the twelve host cities. Despite the show of confidence, protests and intense international media coverage over the last year have exposed Brazil's inequalities, corruption, misplaced public priorities and human rights violations to the world. Commonwealth Games host city Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland and third largest city in the UK, is also widely known for its political and social problems, with high crime, poverty, mortality, unemployment and overall deprivation rates. It was recently announced the UK's sickest city. With evident social problems and increasing emphasis on the "legacy" as a justifying tool for mega-events, there is pressure for both Brazil and Scotland to achieve a sustainable legacy, but host "goals" extend beyond successfully realizing the events and legacy plans.

Manor Gardens Allotments - The Scandal Continues
Oh what a lovely Legacy! The media are long gone but the scandalous treatment of the Manor Gardens Allotments Society (MGS) at the hands of the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority (LVRPA), Waltham Forest Council and the London Legacy Development Corporation LLDC) continues.
As part of the deal stitched together to prevent the MGS's return to the Queen Elizabeth Aftermath Olympic Park (QEOP) at Eton Manor following their temporary relocation to Marsh Lane Fields, now ludicrously named The Jubilee Park, a Section 106 agreement had to be drawn up by the three conspiring 'authorities'. The purpose of this was to provide plots at the now permanent allotment site at Marsh Lane in lieu of those no longer to be provided at Eton Manor and to divide up the costs of creating a meadow in their place at Eton Manor.
The LVRPA voted this agreement through without telling anyone, including the MGS, in May of this year. The text of the document presented to the Executive Committee states:
It is understood some kind of 'understanding' was reached between the London Development Agency (LDA) and the MGS in 2007 to ensure that following the Games the MGS would return to a site allocated for allotments somewhere on QEOP'.

South Korean Environment Groups Protest Destruction of Mount Gariwang Virgin Forest
When South Korea launched its bid to host the 2018 Winter Olympics it was claimed Mount Gariwang was the only possible site for the downhill competition. However, a coalition of environmental groups, the Joint Committee for Stopping the Destruction of Gariwang Mountain, has recently discovered the Rules of the International Ski Federation (FIS-Ski) allow for a shorter track, under 'exceptional circumstances'. In a letter to the FIS-Ski, see below, the Joint Committee asks for clarification of the rule and why this was not made known at the time.
These South Korean environmental groups consider they were misled when the Bid for Pyeongchang2018 was put forward and point out there is a viable alternative at a neighbouring ski resort at Yongpyong. They are now refusing to co-operate with the 'recovery' programme for the forest. The South Korean Olympic authorities have only just carried out an environmental assessment of the forest, which is laughable in itself given that this forest had been designated by the South Korean Forestry Service as site for the 'Protection of flora genes and forest Eco-systems'. The designation was changed when Pyeongchang was chosen to host the Winter Olympics to allow the site to be destroyed for the downhill event.
Whatever the alternatives, the proposal to cut down this virgin forest, home to the largest plantation of Wangsasure trees, a hybrid Aspen unique to the Korean peninsular, made a mockery of the IOC's claim that the environment is its 'third dimension'. It was always an outrage to sacrifice a forest of this quality for a few days of skiing.
Letter to the FIS
Joint Committee for Stopping the Destruction of Gariwang Mountain
71-16 Yulseok-ri, Wabue-eup, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea
International Ski Federation
Blochstrasse 2; CH- 3653 Oberhofen / Thunersee
3rd April, 2014
To whom it may concern:
We, Joint Committee for Stopping the Destruction of Gariwang Mountain, is an umbrella group comprised of nature-protection civil organizations in Korea.
We have made efforts to prevent Korean government's decision to build an Alpine downhill ski competition complex in one and only, the largest, the oldest and most diverse, taxus cuspidate habitat in Korea – Gariwang Mountain lying in both Jeongsun and Pyeongchang counties – from being fully realized. As you can see on the map below, the expected slope-construction site includes a vast area of Gariwang Mountain, which has long been designated by the State as 'Protected Area for Forest Genetic Resource Conservation (the red circle)'.
But when the 2018 Winter Olympics was decided to be held in Pyeongchang in 2011, the Pyeongchang Organizing Committee for the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (POCOG) completely ignored this most important fact and hurried into vote with the lawless, absolutely unforgivable 'promise' to build a new Alpine downhill ski competition venue in this very Gariwang Mountain.
We recently found out from your official website, particularly from the "particular rules for the different events" in "The International Ski Competition Rules (ICR) – Book IV Joint Regulations for Alpine Skiing"(web edition, July 2013), that in case of downhill competitions, the vertical drop of men's courses for Olympic Winter Games is regulated from 800m to 1100m, and in exceptional cases, 750m (p.80).
We would like to receive your confirmation about this information. Is this correct? Does this mean that it would be alright to have the competitions unless the ski slope (the difference between the highest and the lowest points) go shorter than 750m?
If this is true, then it means a lot to us. Then it means that Gariwang Mountain is NOT the only available candidate for a new Alpine downhill ski competitions venue. Then it means we actually have many other pre-existing options around Pyongchang area, including the FIS-certified Yongpyong Ski Resort. Then it means that Mr. president of POCOG, Kim, Jinseon, 'fooled' the entire country claiming as if there was no other alternative than Gariwang Mountain for the new slope venue, as if we needed a new venue.
Upon receiving your confirmation, we are scheduled to organize our side's actions to stop this monstrous 'project' being pushed forward not only by Gangwon Province and Korean government (that recently nudged Korea Forest Service to 'lift' Gariwang Mountain off the protection list), but also by POCOG and IOC, whether the latter has known about this or not.
Looking forward your swift reply,
Rebecca Kim
On behalf of the
Joint Committee for Stopping the Destruction of Gariwang Mountain

Tessa Jowell - Joan of Arc of the Allotments?
This article has been modified on receipt of further information.
London's failed Olympic Legacy creates strange bedfellows. It seems London2012's scandalous allotments' legacy, which has been totally ignored up to now by politicians and journalists, has scandalised former Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell, who has weighed in accusing the London Legacy Development Corporation and the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority of breaking the promise made to the Manor Gardens Allotment Society.
In a letter dated 25th March 2014 sent to Dennis Hone, CEO of the LLDC, and copied to Shaun Dawson, CEO of the LVRPA, Martin Esom, CEO of Waltham Forest Council, and Phillip Lewis, Chair of the LLDC Planning Committee, she points out that the Manor Gardens Society 'co-operated' with London2012 following 'assurances' that 're-provision would be made within the Olympic Park'. This had resulted in a decision to create two sites at 'Eton Manor and the southern areas of the park'. However, the decision by the LLDC on 25th February 2014 to agree an application by Waltham Forest, supported by the LVRPA, to create 'community landscaping' in place of the allotments at Eton Manor means:
'the MSG members have had the commitment to them broken. It was the responsibility of the planning committee to ensure that the promise made is met.'

Charges dropped against Games Monitor whistle blower
Before the London Olympics documents allegedly leaked, hacked, obtained from private "intelligence" company Stratfor showed that Games Monitor had attracted the interests of this intelligence gathering outfit, whose client list includes Olympic sponsor Dow Chemical. Having read Stratfor's intelligence report on Games Monitor and Julian Cheyne I would urge clients of Stratfor to think again before renewing contracts as the information in their report on Games Monitor and Julian Cheyne was inaccurate.

Dear Sexy AF Intern,
I know you don't particularly care that I'm the CEO of this company, and you're just an intern. I also know you're not impressed by my power or my wealth, and that's fine.
You think you've got me all figured out from working alongside me for two weeks, but you don't know me. Not really.
You don't know that I'm a single dad to twin toddlers, or that those two little girls matter more to me than this entire hotel chain.
I'm not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we're in the same room. You probably assume the concentration on my face is work-related, when in reality, I'm figuring out which I want more–to nail you against the wall, or to bend you over my desk.
While you're too disciplined to act on it, I'm not. And the night you stepped into my limo, all bets were off.

Rockville in Montgomery County, Maryland — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Beall-Dawson House
Slavery in Rockville
— Gettysburg Campaign —
During the war, the congregation of the Rockville Methodist Episcopal Church split over the issue of slavery. The congregation included both whites and blacks. Whites sat downstairs, while slaves and freedmen worshiped upstairs in the gallery. Blacks served as local preachers and class leaders but took subservient roles to whites in the service. When white slaveholding members withdrew in 1863, they formed the Methodist Episcopal Church South and built what is now Rockville United Methodist Church (across the street). The black congregation kept the original church on Wood Lane, a block north of here, today known as Jerusalem Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church.
Some slaves took advantage of the chaos of war. Dora Higgins, a Rockville resident, noted that when Confederate Gen. J.E.B. Stuart and his cavalry occupied the town
(The first Rockvillian to enlist in the Union army may have been George Patterson, a free black man. In August 1862, Reuben Hill, a slave, was twice drafted, and his owner, Samuel Stonestreet, paid his commutation. Hill's home, a historic site, stands in nearby Lincoln Park. Maryland abolished slavery in November 1864.)

Holiday Gift Guide 2014
Safari Ltd has been around since 1982. They have been the leader in constructing toys that teach children the importance of nature and conservation. Using imaginative play helps expand your child's mind and allows them to grow and learn. At Safari Ltd they have an amazing spectrum of products that collectors and children of all ages can enjoy. I had the pleasure of reviewing a few pieces to share with all of you.
The first piece I chose is the African Elephant. My daughter is a huge Elephant lover and since it is her favorite animal, I wanted to get a collection of Elephants that are different.
If you do not know a lot about elephants or have not seen the different breeds of them you may not notice the difference between the African and Asian elephant. African elephants have larger ears than the Asian to keep them protected from the hot sun. Asian elephants are mostly in the jungle area which tends to be cooler climate. African elephants have a fuller rounded head and Asian have twin domed heads with an indent in the middle. Another aspect that separates the two apart is that in Asian elephant males only have tusks, however, there has been cases where males did not have them. In African elephants, both genders have tusks. Since African elephants and Asian do not come into contact with each other, it is low risk for interbreeding. There has only been one case of cross breeding.
As you can see here the distinct similarities between both breeds. This elephant is enjoying his time out in the sun and sprays water onto its back to cool down. Each piece has intricate details that give them a realistic look. These pieces are fun for kids or someone that enjoys collecting.
Baby Asian Elephants stay with their mothers for sometimes over 3 years and at birth can weigh about a couple hundred pounds. At Safari Ltd you can find a diverse selection of animals for collecting or playing. Check out Safari Ltd this holiday season.

The GL3000 communicates with the AutoTarget using IR. Place the GL3000 and the AutoTarget in the pipe and activate the target. The rotating laser will automatically find the center of the AutoTarget. It's also possible to use a standard receiver of any rotating laser instead of the AutoTarget. After activating the vertical laser, it can be moved with the remote control left or right, into the correct direction for precise alignment.
The GL3000 vertical rotating beam will also indicate a vertical level exactly in the direction of the laser beam. This is useful in finding a range pole outside of the ditch for aligning a machine, hub stakes, fence posts.

I have already restricted the searchScope to the directory with the notes in them.
Today I was experimenting with Spotlight again (is there really good documentation for it out there?).
When I add the type of the data I am expecting (plain text), the search gets real quick - exactly as expected. So the code now looks like this:
// Predicate expression for the search string
NSString *predicateFormat = @"kMDItemTextContent like[cd] %@";
// Predicate expression for
NSString *textType = @"kMDItemContentType == 'public.plain-text'";
// If there is something to search for ..
if (_searchKey != nil )
// Create the predicate for the key
NSPredicate *p = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:predicateFormat,
[_searchKey stringByAppendingString:@"*"]];
// And one for the type
NSPredicate * subPredicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:
// Combine the two
p = [NSCompoundPredicate andPredicateWithSubpredicates:
[NSArray arrayWithObjects:p, subPredicate, nil]];
// And set on the query
[_query setPredicate:p];
This simple addition of kMDItemContentType == 'public.plain-text' provides the speedup.
It is unfortunately not clear to me why, as I don't have any other files of other types in the searchScope.
Next thing for me to investigate is not why this spinning thingy (they are called async arrows :) does not stop spinning when spotlight does no longer return results. Perhaps I need to programatically set this and can't rely on the cocoa bindings here - does anyone know?

This most widely popular and incredibly soft bread with generous toppings of vegetables and sauces topped with admirable slathering of cheese is said to have an Italian origin.... Though I'm too much fond of its Pizzeria variety, I hadn't dared to try it at home for so long fearing I would make a disaster of the most popular topped bread in the world which has the greatest appeal among kids and adults alike. But the fact that the restaurant variety is far too costly and more towards the oily side made me think again. Now I had to do the undoable. My experiments on this incredibly versatile bread started right from the microwave ovens and after a couple of failures and disappointments, I slowly started to get the hang on things.
One thing I learned (the hard way) was microwave oven is not suitable for making pizza if you really want it to have a nice golden crust on which you would go gaga over. At home you have a plethora of choices on inexpensive toppings which would turn out quite fantastic that you would have to succumb to the temptation and hanker of making it again and again until you get a Pizza Hut clone. Making the bread light and airy is one thing while getting the admirable crust is another... Most of the cook books specify a 3 hour rise for the dough but leaving it overnight to leaven is a trick I learned from the rave reviews of pizza enthusiasts after too many fizzers. Also the fact that pre cooking the dough before topping would make it even more rattling was something I learned on the way..
Coming to the recipe:
Things you need:-
Makes two large Pizzas
For the Pizza Base:
All purpose flour / Maida - 2 cups
Yeast - 1 tsp
Sugar - 3 tbsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Butter - 25 g
Warm Milk - 1/2 cup
Tomato Ketchup - 1/2 cup
Onion Powder - 1 tsp
Garlic Powder - 1 tsp
Origano - 1/4 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Sugar - 1/2 tsp
Tender Chicken breasts - 250 g
Black pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
Onion sliced - 1 medium
Cabbage, sliced - 1/2 cup
Bell pepper sliced - 1/2 cup
Tomato, seeded and diced - 1/2 cup
Black salted olives, pitted and sliced - 1/4 cup
Mushrooms, diced (optional) - 1/4 cup
Salt to taste
Garlic, minced - 1/2 tsp
Powdered origano - 1/2 tsp
Shredded mozzarella cheese - 2 cups
Extra virgin Olive oil - 2 tbsp
To explain the procedure, I think I would start right at the bottom and work my way up to the toppings..
Prepare the Pizza base:
Mix the yeast with half teaspoon of sugar and two tablespoons of warm milk and keep for 10 minutes to raise. The milk should not be too hot. Hot milk would kill the yeast where as moderately warm milk provide adequate condition for the yeast to flourish and raise. Mix the flour, remaining sugar, salt, butter and the raised yeast and kneed by adding warm milk little by little, until a smooth dough is formed. Keep it overnight in a closed container to raise.
Prepare the sauce:
Mix all the ingredients given under Sauce and keep aside. You can alternately use just tomato ketchup as the sauce.
Prepare the topping:
Cut the chicken breast into small and thin pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and cook the chicken by adding little salt and black pepper powder and sauting in oil for 10 minutes or until the water in the chicken dries up. Remove from heat. If you are using mushroom, then cook it like wise. Mix all the sliced vegetables and chicken and mix it with minced garlic and a little salt.
Final cooking:
Preheat the oven at very high temperature(about 450 degree F) for 10 minutes. Grease the pizza pan with olive oil and sprinkle it with a little flour. This helps to bake the under side of pizza to a golden brown crust which is very lovable. Take the raised dough and press the air out and kneed until smooth. This dough is for 2 large pizzas. So divide the dough into two, take one part and press it on to a pizza pan and roll out with hand or a rolling pin. If you have a pizza stone it is much better. In that case preheat the stone in very high temperature for some 5 minutes and then press the dough on to it. Then bake the dough for 5 to 10 minutes at 450 degree F or more and take out from oven. If you are making it in a pan, then roll out the dough on the pan and preheat at the highest possible temperature for 5 minutes.Then apply the sauce over the base. Over this spread the vegetables and chicken. Sprinkle with powdered origano. Top it with as much cheese as you like.Top it with some more olives. Dribble some olive oil on to the edge of the pizza. This helps to make a nice crust. Then keep the pan with the pizza again into the oven and bake at high temperature(450F or more) until the cheese melts and the edges become golden coloured and blistered. Take it out and transfer it to a serving plate. Repeat this with the other part of dough. Cut and serve hot.

Botnets may be a growing problem on PCs, but security vendor Trend Micro how discovered mobile phones are also now being targeted and used as bots on a botnet.
This new malware targets the Symbian OS specifically and is being called SYMBOS_YXES.B and an earlier variant SYMBOS_YXES.A. Both manage to infiltrate a phone by posing as a well-known application called ACSServer.exe. Once on the phone it gathers up your personal information including subscriber, phone, and network details, and then transmits them to a website.
As well as stealing your details the malware then goes on to start sending spam to everyone on your contact list, which may also include attempting to infect those phones with the same malware. The worst case scenario is a growing mobile network of spam sent via this new smartphone-based botnet.
The thing that has surprised Trend Micro the most is that the A and B variants of this malware are both signed applications. Signing means checking an application to make sure it isn't malicious so a user can trust it and is currently carried out by Symbian Signed, part of the Symbian Foundation. For this malware to be signed means it must have gone through the signing process begging the question: how did it get through the checks?
Read more at the TrendLabs Malware Blog, found via V3.co.uk
Matthew's Opinion
The existence of such a botnet means a number of things. First of all, protecting your mobile device with security software is becoming a necessity. Secondly, the Symbian app signing process looks to be flawed meaning measures need to be taken fast to fix that floor, plus a review of signed apps needs to be carried out to ensure there are no further malicious apps out there masquerading as legitimate software.
Malware on mobile phones was inevitable. The increased processing power, storage, and communication features meant hackers would eventually target mobile platforms. There are after all millions of users out there using connected devices and very little protection. It is a very tempting arena for hackers to jump into don't you think? And mobile phones acting as payment devices is just around the corner.

Day 24: The great surprise
Today is Day 24, December 11th of the trip. It is our last week here in Xizhou. We had our daily meeting, pitching in, service learning, WIPPIS time in which we had wellness, inquiry project, pitching in and still time. Then we had the 5-45 check in. Today's lunch was out which meant that dinner was going to be in the Yang Zhou Ran. Today during our daily meeting, we had a great surprise. Ms. Ling and Ms. Yo had joined us for a few days. It was really great to see them and meet people that came from our bubble back in Shanghai. We all welcomed them well, and talked to them. During lunch today, I had the opportunity to get out of my comforft zone and try soemthing new. I had claypot noodles, which had been something I did not have for the past 23 days here in the village. I really liked it and it was a great opportunity to learn from.

While the bank's income growth is hard to beat in the category, even SIB has the same quantumm of NII, though ING scores on Total Income to INR 493.5 Crores, Capital adequacy Ratio for Tier I a hardly adequate 10.99% from Basel 1 regime one fears esp with loan assets a small INR 26k crores or $5 bln and investments at less than half that at INR 11k crores, with a CASA of 32%, higher rates on FDs and CDS matched by low savings bank rates. Growth in income and profits (117 crs or $22.5 mln ) are much more respectable at 44% and brought about by reduction of Cost Income ratio to 57%
Bad debts are comparable to top tier banks at 0.33% Net NPAs. The queezing of branch staff and resources after a bing on setting up new branches with no change in savings tiers has left it with a back in the chair, nothing much approach to banking..and the bank remains a good candidate for cap appreciation yet unless promoters on both sides can commit to growing the capital at the bank, we would be looking at not just CASA stagnation but that in the assets, which should at least reach a 1 Tln figure to be respectable ($18-20 bln) to back its large real estate investments in Bangalore itself.
Meanwhile we did find a few wholesome gaps in the MOS report on the Banking sector, expecting INR 15000 crores in bad debts from ICICI Bank and a similar amount from Axis Bank in write offs an impossible to manage feat. ICICI Bank's INR 2.35 tln book with only INR 55k in mortgages and INR 10k crores in Autoloans makes it unlikely even if bad debt was to reach 2-3% of assets or 4% of its net worth.

Infographic: Ian Holloway's reign as Millwall boss in numbers
Biggest win 2-0 and that's only because we got a penalty in the last minute.
Doesn't make good reading that, in fact all of it is awful.
If and when Ollie feels the need to say he didn't have enough time or tries to blame us the fans (read today his comments after the Norwich defeat to that effect are why they sacked him!) a print out of this can be handed over to him. Might shut him up!
What a manager can't see why we sacked him?
@steveomfc5: where's bradders to defend him now..makes for depressing reading.
Also hope this is the last olly article
@Jim28: Think 'Bradders' has gone with him, LOL ! Sadly, he spent all his Post - Time moaning. But the article does make surprising reading.Well Done Josh French. ( NOLU, WDC ).
@BUSHWACKER14: Still see you enjoy giving yourself plenty of "likes"... somebody has to haha, come on BUSHY give me those standard 10-15 dislikes 🙂
@Jim28: Nice of you to personally mention me Jim 🙂
I don't think anybody can defend his record at the club.
What I will thank Holloway for is putting more emphasis on bringing the youth through (Millwall born & bred type players) which previous managers have seriously lacked over the past 6+ years and thank him for changing the way our club, as a whole including the youth, plays football... on the floor and none of this sh** hoof ball which we used to play under the last 2 managers.
I'd like the next full-time manager, whether that be Harris or someone else, to play proper football and keep giving youth a go!!
@Bradders: i knew you couldn't resist a challenge..personnaly if it was viable i would of kept him to work we the lads...cos the structure he began will probably now be wasted(hope not)..as for the way we were playing it was either 8 passes to many in mid or none at all (a lot of hoofing as you put it).so i'am not sorry to see that go
@Bradders: Hey, why let facts get in the way of personal opinion. You keep on with this nonsense about Holloway and his 'youth policy'. Most of us focussed on Mr Holloway and his losing games policy. Worst manager in our history and unlikely to be matched in a very long time.
@lion.ie:What those facts hide (as awful as they are) was his non-stop bullsh*t and the personality-cult surrounding the man.
The truth is the football was awful under Holloway. We never bossed the opposition, there was no exciting or attacking football, tactics were all over the place and the standard of players brought in was atrocious. I'd often come away from games despairing at how we'd played, only to read feedback from fans delighted with how Holloway was developing our style of play and trying to revolutionise the club from top to bottom. He'd replace the 'deadwood' players with journeymen has-beens and people would be really excited. How did he fool so many people and what did he do to deserve their blind loyalty? The only comparison I can make is the many Nazi's still blindly believing Hitler could win the war, even with the Soviets on the outskirts of Berlin.
lly trying to
@Jim28: can we sack the majority of the players too?
Three supposedly good managers could not motivate these wage thieves?
Good luck chopper - play your u 21s and tell the over 30s to f*** off
@wappinglion: You are so, so right about this Wappinglion. Let's hope others realise what you have correctly stated. ( NOLU, WDC ).Here we come Bolton!
@wappinglion: That's a good point. I'd like to see only U21. The good new loan players should play with the kids. I want to see young players looking up to Harris as a model and leader.
Cannot see what Club will employ him after that.
All these stats show the obvious... we just need someone to put the ball in the back of the net...
He should have walked in January - His record would have looked better,
in fact he has helped destroy his own CV....lol...
But then again he will be walking around with a large wedge in his back pocket,
certainly enough to buy his own Circus.
What a disaster of a period for Millwall, huge payout and not to
mention wasted money on an army of OAP loans.
But never mind we will always turn up, that's what we do,
we are used to it all now.
We could only last 35 minutes before we conceded a goal on average, I think that says it all, we were chasing the game for 2 thirds of the game, but all the stats show what a poor manager he was for us, so all in all we are well rid of him.
There is a lot of talk of Holloways' plans/stucture for the club (mostly from his own mouth).Apart from spending money on training pitches we don't own and buying an ice bath (which doesn't seem to have done much good!) is there any concrete evidence of these improvements?I am genuinely asking,as i cannot take the words of the marbleless one at face value.
Those stats are really shocking. I am sure Holloway will find himself another job though, on the basis of his success at Blackpool. What people forget is him walking out on Plymouth and having a nightmare at Leicester. I know nearly all of us were delighted when he came in but with the benefit of hindsight maybe a bit more weight should have been given to his sacking by Palace, which was pretty remarkable considering he had got them promoted. It makes you wonder if club chairmen really speak to each other or whether Palace were quite happy to give him a better reference than he deserved. Whatever, he clearly lost the dressing room and the plot with us as well. I know a few have said he'll get a job in the media but, really? I can't think of BBC or ITV wanting to employ a loose cannon like him. Maybe he will appeal to TalkSport but I expect some other mugs will hire him as a manager.
0.86 goals a game is not just down to the strikers, the whole team couldn't hit a barn door, absolute s*** the lot of em. Having said that 2.1 to the lions Saturday Coyl
If there's a God hollynob Will become the next wastham manager then I might just for get the sleepless nights that lunatic gave me but hay the p**** has gone.now let's see if we can salvage some pride and play some football under Harris
fking less than one point a game would never keep us up. Joker
Says it all really - C u n t!
All those stats mean nothing,we all knew what was wrong so what is the point in all this analysing stuff that doesn't matter. I want to know what our genius of a board are thinking of as a replacement and what strategy we have in place to get out of league one cause it isn't going to be easy.
@LETEMCOME: the strategy for next season is simple. Score more fu:king goals than our opponents
Thref="#comment-74055">LETEMCOME: our strategy is yo bring in clarkson to throw a punch at Ambler
Stange but this site and comments have a new 'spring' in its step !!!!!
I miss him already
@LewishamLion: Who are we going to hate now?
@Micky Lions: AMBLER
How big could that Gregory penalty against Norwich be? It only meant something to one person, and that was Gregory himself, well taken and with getting that under his belt and now bomber in charge, are we now going to see the real Gregory that he was talked up to be? Bomber came from Cambridge City so this may well hold the key for that glimmer of hope we have.
WOW so 62 games in charge and was he on a 2 million contract ? or there about that's one massive and costly mistake and I wrongly thought he would be an honourable bloke and walk silly me
Only in football can you f*** up so badly and get rewarded for it .
The 1 million compo would have bought a decent striker.
@wileybriley: or another 5 midfielders.
None of this needed to happen if Holloway's career stats had been considered when he was appointed rather than his image. His Millwall win statistics are in line with his overall career (26%) . He is, and always has been, a useless, self serving manager.
This would have been obvious to anyone that could be bothered to look up his career history. The question is why it was not obvious to whoever appointed him: Millwall needed a football manager not a media clown.
@Jzero: To think of the abuse I got when I pointed all this out when he was appointed but even that considered, nobody could have predicted how bad he would be in the job. An unmitigated disaster.
@lion.ie: remember it well you kicked off with all the IH fans what done it for me was about 4 games in when he put four strikers up front I looked at my mate & we both said he don't no what he's doing. Down hill after that.
@block 28: It would be interesting if Aldo republished the comments from when he was appointed. The majority of fans seemed happy, but it wasn't 95% of supporters as some have suggested. Quite a few of us pointed out our big concerns about his poor record and state of mind. You have to ask some major questions of the club officials who decided to appoint him.
i am sure Chopper knows exactly who's going and staying.

108 not breaking up (continuing without Rob Fish)
by BBG
Rob Fish now EX-108
OK, so 108 ISN'T breaking up…
Eventually, the remainder of the band decided that we desired to keep doing 108 even though Robert did not. We realized that we could try to do the band, but that without Robert we would need to go in a very new and different direction sonically and, to some extent, ideologically as well. Robert's contribution to the band was so vast and touched so many aspects of 108, that we fully realize can not "replace" him. We don't plan to try. Instead, we will do something very different from what we did as a band with him.
Whether you like it or not is up to you.
We will like it. If it turns out that we don't we will end it.
It is still called 108 because it is still about what 108 is all about. If this doesn't make sense to you, I apologize. It makes sense to us. We are already writing new material and are eager to share it with you as soon as we can. In the meantime, we hope you really get into our latest recording: 18.61.
For the full story, check out a statement from guitarist Vic DiCara. 108's new album, 18.61,

In our service price promise, we urge customers to go to the website and look up the cost of service including labour. Customers can compare the price with what the competition offers and see for themselves that Ford is fairly competitive and even less expensive than many known brands," said Ford India vice-president, marketing Rahul Gautam.
The company has identified customer transparency as crucial to its growth strategy. With a portfolio that comprises hatchback Figo, compact sedan Aspire, compact SUV EcoSport, SUV Endeavour and the iconic sports car Mustang, Ford India is eager to overcome the perception problem that is restraining its sales. In 2015, Ford India sold 36,405 cars in the domestic market between January and July. This year, the company has sold 48,944 cars so far.
Apart from service cost, the company has also put the price of auto components or spare parts on the website. "When a vehicle comes for service to a Ford outlet, the customer will be clearly appraised of all the jobs and the likely cost. If there is any subsequent change, the customer will be immediately intimated. A person can also book a service and get a free pickup and drop. If a car has to be kept overnight, there is provision to loan a car," the official said.
Another major move by Ford to lower the cost of ownership is to make its parts available across multiple sales points. "For consumer convenience, we have decided to make genuine Ford parts available in retail channels across the country instead of restricting them to Ford service outlets. We have the entire country covered by independent parts distributors. Customer can go to any retailer and buy the part and get the car serviced at a local garage if he feels comfortable doing so," said Gautam.

British physicist wins religious prize
John Polkinghorne, an Anglican priest and former professor at Cambridge University, UK, has won the 2002 Templeton Prize for progress in religion.
He said he wanted to take science and religion with great and equal seriousness, seeing them as complementary to each other and not as rivals.
The prize is the world's most lucrative annual prize for an individual, earning the winner �700,000 ($1m).
Sub-atomic particles
Author of many books, Dr Polkinghorne has made his name applying the same rigorous scientific disciplines that he mastered as a mathematical physicist to the study of theology.
Many of these attempt to marry theology with science.
For instance, he argues that evolution is not opposed to believing in God, but is a perfect fit with the concept of a God-given gift of creation that continues to be and to make itself.
He resigned as professor of Mathematical Physics in 1979, after creating mathematical models that predict the movement of sub-atomic particles. These calculations helped reveal the structure of matter.
He then entered the priesthood, becoming a parish priest before returning to Cambridge where he was president of Queens' College for three years.
No conflict
Dr Polkinghorne said at a news conference in New York, US, that science and religion both "believe that there is a truth to be sought and to be found, a truth whose attainment comes through the pursuit of well-motivated belief".
Science studies "the processes of the world, while religion is concerned with the deeper issue of whether there is a divine meaning and purpose behind what is going on", he said.
Both pursuits are valid, Dr Polkinghorne said, adding he never found a "head-on collision" between science and religion.
The former Cambridge academic will receive the award from Prince Philip on 29 April at Buckingham Palace in London.
Many honours
In 1997, Dr Polkinghorne was knighted for distinguished service to science, religion, learning and medical ethics.
The Templeton Prize is given each year for outstanding originality in advancing the world's understanding of God or spirituality. It is always set at an amount that exceeds the value of the Nobels.
The first winner was Mother Teresa in 1973. Others include the Rev Dr Billy Graham (1982), Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1983), physicist Carl Friedrich von Weizs�cker (1989), and Benedictine monk and professor of astrophysics Stanley Jaki (1987).
Last year's recipient was the Rev Canon Dr Arthur Peacocke, an ordained Anglican priest, Oxford University faculty member and a biochemist who pioneered early research into DNA.
Two more of Dr Polkinghorne's books are due for publication later this year: The God of Hope and the End of the World, and Quantum Theory: A Very Short Introduction.

About me
Hi! My name is Bram. I am a 28-year-old PhD researcher in machine translation at Ghent University. Also a programmer, designer, geek from Belgium. Your average twenty-something-old.
My interests range from web design and programming to music and language. I have a master's degree in Linguistics, and an advanced master's in Artificial Intelligence, both obtained from KU Leuven.
For a summary of my curriculum vitae, I would refer you to my LinkedIn page. I have also provided links to my StackOverflow profile page.
My passion for language has given me a goal to spend my programming skills on. I have created two tools that allow linguists to more efficiently use specific online applications.
The first tool, XPath Beautifier, can format XPath code in such a way that it is easier to read, edit, and use. The second one, HTML Trees, offers an alternative to SVG to draw syntactic dependency structures on the web. Furthermore, I have also overhauled the GrETEL web tool.
- XPath Beautifier for GrETEL
- Improve the readability of XPath code strings, especially those provided by the corpus query tool GrETEL
- HTML Tree Parser for Alpino
- Display syntactic XML trees such as those generated by the dependency parser Alpino, with CSS and HTML without the need of SVG
- GrETEL
- GrETEL, Greedy Extraction of Trees for Empirical Linguistics, is a tool for language users that allows you to look up syntactic phenomena in annotated corpora. I created a complete overhaul of the GrETEL interface and improved the search algorithm on the server side.

|Metastatic renal cell carcinoma presenting as foot metastasis: case report and review of the literature.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21622639 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Malignant tumors frequently metastasize to bone centrally in the skeleton. Metastatic disease distal to the knee is unusual. Metastasis to the foot (acrometastasis) is rare (0.01%) and is usually a late manifestation of disseminated disease. The purpose of this article is to present a rare case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma with foot metastasis as the primary manifestation along with another rare localization of metastatic disease distal to the knee, in the contralateral tibial diaphysis. To highlight the delay in diagnosis of such a rare condition to consider it in the diagnosis of a painful foot, we also present a review of the literature.

The rewards of pride and piety have suddenly expired in Scandinavia. The northern democracies, accustomed to dispensing unwanted tutelage in sanctimony, have canceled their welcome for the wave of migrants from the Middle East and North Africa trying to break down the door to Europe.
The Scandinavians, particularly the Swedes, have sometimes claimed humanitarian credentials while betraying their neighbors. Sweden, which professed to be neutral in World War II, was a critical supplier of high-quality munitions to the Nazis, permitting them to cross Swedish territory to invade Norway, and usually rejecting refugees.
Norway, too, has been anxious to deliver political nostrums to others. Its mediation in the Sri Lankan civil war muddled the issues and the civil war became a bloodbath. Though the Scandinavians posed as the moral arbiters of the West, their "model democracy" has created many unacknowledged social problems.
Sweden now says it will reject up to 80,000 asylum seekers who arrived last year, half of whom the government says will be forcibly deported. The government has told police and immigration authorities to prepare for a sharp increase in deportations, and to arrange charter flights of migrants to their country of origin. That will be difficult because some countries of origin, prominently Pakistan, won't take them back. Sweden is trying to persuade other European Union countries, including Germany, to make sure the departing flights are filled to capacity.
Sweden took in more than 160,000 asylum applications last year, by far the largest number in proportion to its population of 9.5 million, approximately equal to the population of Michigan or North Carolina. Sweden followed Denmark in closing the door to refugees. Sweden now requires identification of each migrant, and says it will confiscate the assets of arrivals to pay for their accommodation. Norway has begun deporting arriving migrants through its Arctic border with Russia. The interior minister of Finland, with its long history of resisting Russian aggression, says it will expel about two-thirds of the 32,000 asylum seekers it originally accepted in 2015.
The open door to Scandinavia, like the welcome in the rest of Europe, is closing, in part to preserve the native culture. Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Germany, is a villain within her conservative coalition for her earlier welcome to all. The arrival of more than a million migrants in Germany alone — a large majority of them young single men and not the highly advertised families with women and small children — has created a new sense of crisis, with predictions of many more this year.
Germany's elaborate social welfare program, a goal of many of the migrants, is breaking down under the impact of so many with so many demands, sometimes reinforced with riots. The dramatic attacks on young women by young men, many of them newly arriving Muslims, on New Year's Eve in Cologne and other German cities were at first ignored by the mainline media, reinforces the new mood of resistance. Business interests, like the business lobby in the United States, are eager to welcome them for an abundant supply of labor.
Having accelerated the migrant flow, the Europeans, particularly the Scandinavians, face an unexpected emergency of how to block a tsunami of migrants who seek economic opportunity first, rather than opportunity to embrace the culture of their new homeland. Scandinavia in particular is getting an expensive lesson in how the world actually works, and that experience can be a harsh teacher, particularly for Europeans weaned on piety.

Your shopping cart is empty!
Enjoy a cosy meal inside or some sushi and a drink on our terrace
Perfect for sushi lunch at work or grab & go on the way home
Love it! My go to lunch option when I crave Japanese food. So easy to order via their own homepage, good price and really great sushi...
My new favourite besides jollof..
Flawless. I had the lunch deal which was very reasonably priced. Great service, lovely crockery and the meal was presented on a nicely put together tray. They feed your eyes as well as your belly!
Cannot recommend this place enough.
A great find near Canary Wharf!..
A true hidden gem of the London Japanese scene. You pay a very fair price (especially by London standards) for an exquisite meal! Every dish was delicious, well crafted and looked amazing. Not to mention the portion sizes (by sushi standards) were on the larger side. If you want somewhere to get good sushi without breaking the bank in the process, this is certainly the place to go alone or in a group...


text: We analyse the determinants of self-employment and focus on the contextual environment. By distinguishing between commuters and non-commuters we are able to analyse the influence from the work and home environment, respectively. Our results indicate a significant difference between non-commuters and commuters in terms of the role of networks for becoming self-employed. Our results indicate that it is the business networks where people work, rather than where they live that exerts a positive influence on the probability of becoming self-employed. These effects are further robust over educational and occupational categories.

After three months of construction and an investment of $320,000, Delray Beach has opened its new oceanfront pavilion at Atlantic Dunes Park, along Ocean Boulevard north of Linton Boulevard. The old ´landmark pavilion´, which was destroyed in July 2016 due to intentional fire-raising,air max 97 pas cher was a much-loved by the local community.
Therefore, the new Atlantic Dunes Pavilion is designed to look almost exactly like the ´landmark pavilion´. The only differences lie in the added structural improvements that will help to resist hurricane force winds of category 5.

I'm quite new at this and am about to to transfer some VHS tapes to DVD discs. The chain will simply look like: Pal VCR (s-video, in-line tbc) directly to a PAL DVD recorder (dvd discs). I've found some DVD-recorders on the local market, which one(s) do you think are better than the rest? I've read that Pioneer, LG, Toshiba, Philips, and a few models from JVC and Panasonics are the most recommended brands/models.
The LG DR4912V seems to be the only one with LSI chipset as I've been cross-checking from a lsi-logic-chipset-list , so I guess this would be a good candidate. Do Lsi-logic-chipset dvd recorders enhance visual quality, not frame sync, if I understood correctly? But is the frame sync function for the LG DR4912V still as good as the ones in other DVD recorders?
Also the pioneer dvr-520H or the dvr-5100h might seem like an alternative too
The Panasonic DMR-ES10 is the NTSC version, but one question about it anyway: It's good as a pass-through, is it good to use as a standalone option to burn out DVD-discs, comparable to other DVD recorders? If so, is the TBC comparable to other DVD-recorders' TBCs (the good to better ones), as in reducing the loss of frames etc and not only picture quality enhancements?
I think I'll pass on the Bluray compatible players to be sure about the compatibility for old recording mediums such as vhs tapes. What about HDD recordings? I'm aware it can support higher bitrate with HDD recordings instead of transfering to DVD discs directly from the VCR, but as of today, or the more revered or good enough, recorders from a certain time span, has it gone so far that it is as stable with HDD captures with such old machines as VCRs instead of going directly to DVD-disks?
The recorders currently on the "local" market
Pioneer DV-717
Pioneer DVR-5100H
Pioneer DVR-520H
Pioneer DVR-540H
Pioneer DVR-433H-S
Toshiba DVD-Player SD-2109
Philips DVD-R70
Philips DVDR70
Panasonic DMR-ES10
Panasonic DMR-EX77
Maybe less prioritized ones (probably, what I heard):
Samsung DVD-HR755
Samsung DVD-HR750
Sony RDR-HX750
Sony rdr - gx210
Sony RDR-GX220
Sony RDR-HXD895
Sony RDR-GX210
With the exception of the three PAL DVD recorders I mentioned before (the LG and Pioneer ones), I should look up whether the rest of the DVD recorders support PAL recordings or not.
I'm leaning towards the LG one, (because I read that it's a common problem that the Pioneer 520H burners have been worn out by now) - unless anyone would recommend any other DVD recorder on the list here?

Are you wanting to transfer commercially bough VHS or are they self recorded from TV, if you have any which you store bought they will probably have copy protection and you will need a time base corrector to remove the copy protection, using a tbc is a good idea even with self recorded vhs and it stabilizes the signal to the dvd recorder.
I am astounded at the rarity of tbc's on ebay, amazing.
If you are only transferring self recorded vhs then I had good success with the JVC and Panasonic dvd recorders , Pioneer also, I never "got on" with sony dvd recorders.over 5 years ago from the UK. I do not know how good vcr's with tbc's(Supposidy) are any good at removing copy protection. Like this one:-
If you want to message me with what you are transferring if commercially sold I may be able to save you some work.PAL/NTSC problem solver.
USED TO BE A UK Equipment owner., NOW FINISHED WITH VHS CONVERSIONS-THANKS
Forget the Philips ones. Those are OLD and most likely will not work.
Don't get ripped off. DVD Recorders died out quite a while ago. People are selling them because they don't record (or finalize) discs anymore.
There has been a recent breakthrough in getting recordings off of DVD recorder's hard drive with ISOBuster software.....but that requires removing the hard drive from the recorder and buying ISOBuster.

I may try out computer digitizing in the near future as well. Last time I did it the video suffered from blended interlacing, like this - https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/392932-Getting-rid-of-frame-interpolation-in-VHS-captures , but it was perhaps not expected, but at least not super surprising considering the gear and software I had back then. Now I've upgraded to a USB-live 2 capture device and more, resting in a box atm, just in case. Having different options seems like a good idea
Yea, an external tbc like that wouldn't be bad at all. I heard it's a gamble nowadays to find one but also to get one working at its fullest though , the same high, risk high reward as with acclaiming a functional dvd recorder as stated in the thread
That sounds like a useful feature. Might try that out later with ISOBuster. I have mounted/demounted HDDs into computers before but it's probably trickier when it comes to dvd recorder hdds

There are some LG HDD/DVD recorders and their cousin Medion recorders who have had the ability to pull the MPEG2 recordings from the hard drives.
I have the Medion version.
The web site for the LG/Medion is long gone but I still have the Windows software to pull the data from the discs.....now I just need to remember which LG/Medion units were involved.
I'll do a bit of HDD searching.
would it be any easier to just hook up your VCR/ DVD player to your PC
and use a recording software to capture your VHS Tapes & DVDs ??
If you don't use an LSI based DVD recorder for VHS transfers, just forget about it. All non-LSI DVD recorders compound VHS noise, while LSI chipsets remove it. DVD recorders were never intended for converting VHS, but rather recording from a clean source like a DV camera or analog cable/satellite TV.
ES10 is great for passthrough, a POS for recording. Panasonic and Sony are the noisiest recorders made.
All the "new" gear is Funai-made garbage. Several brands, same unit. The quality stuff is used, and only used -- unless you find a unicorn "new old stock" unit, which does sometimes still happen.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)
FAQs: Best Blank Discs • Best TBCs • Best VCRs for capture • Restore VHS
VDub or Amarectv and so on. At the moment, the main hindrance is the gamble to get a full frame tbc that works pretty good at least for direct PC captures through USB dongles or capture cards, but I may do that later
Ok, I see, about the ES10's primary usage
LG HDD DVD Recorder dump software and model list.
If the software is missing from the site, I have it.
