Funerals and protection of property
Help with funeral arrangements
Like all local councils, we have a statutory duty to arrange the burial or cremation of people who die within the council boundary, where there is no one else willing or able to arrange the funeral.
When a person has died in hospital, we sometimes have an agreement with the Health Authority or Primary Care Trust to arrange the funeral. The hospital should be contacted to see if they have this agreement with us.
What service do we provide?
We arrange the funeral of anyone who has died within the Birmingham City Council boundary, when there is no one else willing or able to arrange it. We do our best to make sure the funeral is as close as possible to the known wishes of the deceased (the person who has died), including their religious and cultural background.
If the deceased has no estate (no money or property held after death), we arrange a simple funeral within the city boundary. We let the family, carers and friends know the date, time and place of the funeral, so they can attend. We will use our contracted funeral director, C Bastock Limited.
We can also provide support and advice to people who have not experienced bereavement before or feel that they may need help in arranging a funeral.
We will make sure that the preparations for the funeral and the funeral service are carried out in a dignified and sensitive way, taking into account any religious and cultural requirements.
Choice of funeral
We can offer a choice of funeral, including a private funeral, if there is enough money in the deceased's estate to pay for it.
If the deceased has left enough money or property, we can arrange the private funeral as close as possible to their known wishes or the wishes of their family, carers or friends. We will use our contracted funeral director unless:
- the deceased stated in writing that they wanted a particular funeral director and
- the funeral director that they chose has already been paid.
Who can get this service?
We provide a service on behalf of the deceased, if they died within the Birmingham City Council boundary and there is no one else willing or able to arrange their funeral.
Is there a charge for this service?
Where there is an estate (money or property held after death), we may make an administrative charge for work we have carried out and for the cost of the funeral.

Beautiful Sacrifice (Hardcover)
According to Maya legend, December 21, 2012, will mark the end of the world as we know it. Is it myth . . . or will their prediction become reality?
Archaeologist Lina Taylor has devoted her life to studying ancient Maya artifacts, splitting her time between digs in South America and the classroom teaching college students. But the professor's structured, academic life is about to spin out of control. Some extremely valuable and important Maya artifacts have gone missing. Are the culprits fanatics determined to create chaos and usher in annihilation?
Helping out a friend, former immigration and customs enforcement officer Hunter Johnston is determined to recover the missing pieces and he needs Lina's help. A man used to calling the shots and working alone, he isn't comfortable letting anyone get close, especially a beautiful and brainy woman like Lina. His gift for reading people tells him there's a lot going on below that professional exterior, and he's more than a little curious to probe her depths.
Burying herself in her work, Lina's had little experience handling men, especially one as fascinating and exasperating as the secretive, headstrong Hunter. A devoted archaeologist, she has the skill to excavate those protective layers all the way to his core.
But finding the missing artifacts is only the beginning of a mystery that will plunge these unlikely partners into adventure, romance, and danger more thrilling, sensual, and deadly than either of them knows. . . .

NCAA President to Form Council of Athletic Directors
ORLANDO, Fla.—Operating the National Collegiate Athletic Association has long been like sailing a large ship—a rush to one approach followed by a lurch to another. NCAA president Mark Emmert said Saturday that it's time for a shift toward empowering those close to the action: athletic directors.
Emmert agreed Saturday morning to form a council of 10 athletic directors who would meet regularly with him and his senior staff, starting in July, he said in a Saturday interview with The Wall Street Journal. The idea is to leave fewer decisions about things like recruiting rules in the hands of busy college presidents and more with the athletic directors who work with coaches and their assistants. The agreement came during Emmert's visit here to speak to the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics.
"It's clear right now where the association has gone, it's pushed the pendulum too far in one direction," Emmert said in the interview. "And it really has cut athletic directors out of the national discussion."
The athletic directors on the council will include Kevin Anderson at Maryland, Mitch Barnhart at Kentucky, Gene Bleymaier at San Jose State, Greg Byrne at Arizona, John Currie at Kansas State, Dave Heeke at Central Michigan, Warde Manuel at Connecticut, Dan Radakovich at Clemson, Gene Smith at Ohio State, Peter Fields at Division I-AA Montana State and Peg Bradley-Doppes at Division I-AAA Denver (the non-football division).
The council is similar to a roughly 20-member group that has met with NCAA presidents at least twice annually since the late 1990s, said Dutch Baughman, executive director of the Division I-A Athletic Directors' Association. "We've had this other group in place for 16 years," Baughman said. "So to create this new group was somewhat of a surprise."
A mid-1990s shift in NCAA structure empowered university presidents to manage college sports. But some athletic directors and coaches say presidents are too far removed from the highly complex of athletic departments that sometimes generate $100 million in annual revenues to create effective day-to-day policy.
Emmert's acknowledgment Saturday that NCAA governance had strayed too far from athletic directors came as he and the NCAA face mounting criticism for everything from a top-down management style to upheaval in the NCAA's enforcement division as detailed in a story in the current issue of Sports Illustrated.
Emmert said he "skimmed" the story, which centered on a case in which a former University of Miami booster said he lavished cash, cars and junkets on more than 100 Hurricanes athletes over most of the decade of the 2000s. In February, Emmert admitted that a staff member had improperly obtained evidence in the case, a revelation that prompted the departure of then-enforcement head Julie Roe Lach. In recent months, several experienced enforcement-staff members have left the department or retired.
On Saturday, Emmert denied the notion that either the enforcement staff or the NCAA was in crisis. "That's just inaccurate," he said. A Miami spokesman declined to comment on the case.
Emmert declined to comment on the specifics of the Miami case, about which the NCAA's Committee on Infractions met Friday in Indianapolis in a late-stages step before the NCAA announces its ruling, expected this summer. The school already has served self-imposed punishment including two bowl-game bans. Miami officials have said those steps should be sufficient.
Emmert acknowledged "significant difficulty inside of enforcement because of the Miami case. It did lead to a variety of changes that we had to put in place. But the fact that we are holding people accountable for behavior, and the fact that we needed to change some of our policies and practices there is not an indication of disarray. It's simply an indication that the organization is dealing with issues that are in front of it. I think that's a normal, healthy process."
He denied an allegation in the SI story that he was too involved in NCAA enforcement cases.
"The only involvement I've ever had in any of the infractions cases has been to communicate to a president what their status was in process," Emmert said. "The presidents, me and my predecessors of the association, have never been directly involved in those cases."
The derisive characterization of Emmert by unnamed NCAA staff members as "King of the Press Conference" in the SI story was "funny," Emmert said. He added that the NCAA's board of directors "has asked me to be more open and engaged with the media and the public on NCAA issues. I don't apologize for that."
He also aimed to push through numerous reforms when he took over as president in 2010. But efforts under Emmert to slash the number of pages in the NCAA rule book—such as in eliminating restrictions on the size of each school's recruiting staff—prompted backlash among coaches and athletic directors worried about the repercussions. Some also said they weren't adequately consulted.
Emmert asserted that the NCAA has achieved significant reforms in raising academic standards for athletes and has excelled at one of its core functions: running championship events.

Senior Jenna Litoborski (Lemont, Ill.) became the 17th player in school history over 1,000 digs for her career on Senior Day as the Charlotte 49ers fell Sunday in a 3-0 loss (25-23, 25-18, 25-14) to Xavier in Atlantic 10 Conference action. The 49ers honored their four outgoing seniors in a ceremony before the match. Charlotte slips to 10-15 on the season, 2-11 in the A-10. Xavier is 19-9 and locked up second place in the conference and a bye in next week's A-10 Tournament with an 11-2 mark.
Litoborski came in needing seven digs for the four-digit plateau and reached that mark in the opening set.
There were four lead changes and 13 ties scores in the opening set, including as late as 20-20, but the Musketeers secured five kills in the last eight points to take the opening set by two.
The Niners had trouble getting XU off its serve in the second, as the Musketeers had a pair of 5-0 runs in the set and survived a late 8-5 run by Charlotte for the seven-point victory.
The match was tied at all but one point up to a nine-all tie, when Xavier strung together a 9-1 run and pulled away for the match victory.
Litoborski finished with the match-high total of 20 digs and pulled into 16th on the Charlotte all-time career digs list, ahead of Paula Smith (1985-88) with a total of 1,013. She is 25 away from Stacia Brisentine (1992-95) with one match left to play. Fellow senior Bianca Rouse (Columbia, S.C. / Keenan HS) had the team-high total of eight kills. Sophomore Savannah Gaster (Johnsonville, S.C.) had four blocks to tie for the match high and senior Shannon McClean (Cypress, Tex. / Cy-Woods HS) added three blocks to go with her seven digs. Senior Lily Vera (Anderson, S.C. / Stone Bridge HS) led the 49ers with 15 assists.
Charlotte will conclude the 2012 Thursday night at VCU at 7 p.m.

For a few days, it looked like there would be a celebration for the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. Then the Republican Party decided to make this a political tool to bash the president.
From the top down of the Republican-conservative movement, the word went out. "Sgt. Bergdahl is a traitor and President Obama is a Muslim dupe who was taken advantage of in this situation!"
The Republicans already have an excess of congressional investigations, but one more won't hurt. They are all fishing expeditions, anyways.
Republican senators and congressmen had sent out congratulations for Sgt. Bergdahl and his family on Facebook and Twitter and quickly retracted them in favor of the party line.
I think it is shameful how the GOP and its propaganda organ, Fox News, have treated Sgt. Bergdahl and his family. And, I hate to say it, but nearly all of America's veterans groups act as GOP auxiliaries.
Not one of them has come to Sgt. Bergdahl's aid. "Bring 'em home" is a phrase that seems to be used only when it is politically convenient.

Why are the Nodal Ninja models numbered 3 and 5?
What happened to 4?
Was it a failure?
Or is the number 4 out due to a superstition?
Why are the Nodal Ninja models numbered 3 and 5?
What happened to 4?
Was it a failure?
Or is the number 4 out due to a superstition?
"4" is a unlucky number in Asian culture. So you see many manufacturers just skip 4 in the numbering. While I am not superstitious, I don't think I need to challenge this convention, after all, Asia is part of our market. what I think does not matter, it is what (Asian) customers think that matters. So I skip NN4. :-)
However, there is indeed room for a panohead with size bigger than NN3 and smaller than NN5. It will work for most wide angle lens. It is more compact and lighter. So there may be a NN4 in the future. At the moment, it is not an effective use of our limited resources. But I imagine the reduced size will make it easier to manufacture.
We listen. We try harder.
Hello Nick,
Thanks for the missing "NN4" explanation.
So it has all to do with the fact that some numbers don't feel well.
Among panorama makers it is a fact that the numbers 5 and 7 are not very favorite.
If you look at the specs of panoheads you can see that there must be some kind of resistance against those numbers because very few manufacturers are supporting those numbers.
One of the first things I tried out with my Seitz VR drive was how it worked with 5 and 7 round ;-)
(BTW, the answer is: great, 5 round @ 14,6mm with my Tokina 10-17mm is one of my preferred settings ;-)
All the best,
Then you have missing 13th floors in many hotels, or missing room numbers of 666.
And what happened to Nikon D250? We have the D200 and D300. :-\
Then you have the psychology of numbers. Odd numbers typically sell better than items when even numbers.
Pricing the same. Instead of $200 we sell for $199.95.
Many variables come into play when selecting numbers (personal and professional). Not selecting a particular number (4) should not imply failure, if it does then having the next number up (5) should imply success
Here in Korea, our buildings often skip the 4th floor or use the letter F instead.
In that case, the elevator button sequence is 2 - 3 - F - 5 - 6 ...
I did not realize some manufacturers avoid using 4.
Then the new *mid-sized* NN can be named the NNF
Interesting Bill, the psychology of numbers. Then there actually is reason behind the seemingly chaotic numbering of camera models!

Fiberglass Hood Prep And Install - Lightweight LiftoffWritten by on August 17, 2011 Basic prep and install of a lift-off fiberglass hood
Even before the engine in the Valiant had been changed to the E85 guzzling, tunnel-rammed stroker, I didn't think it was a big deal to run the Valiant without a hood. Let's face it, a tunnel ram with twin Holley carburetors looks cool, but the men with shiny badges and loaded pistols informed that I needed to put the hood back on the car. But, there was no way that I was going to cut the factory steel hood-what if I needed to put it back on someday (famous last words)? That left me with two options: I could either get another steel hood and cut the opening in it, but to do that, the opening would need to be a lot larger than just around the tunnel ram, because when the hood is hinged open, the hole would need to be larger to clear the tunnel ram as it went up and slightly forward during normal operation. My other option would be to use a fiberglass hood, and make it a lift-off style. This worked for me, but companies that make a hood for a '67 Valiant are few and far between. We were happy when we found out that VFN Fiberglass had what we needed, and for only $399. Even though we would be using hood pins to attach our hood, we got the bolt on style hood, which has more reinforcement around the perimeter, and incorporates the factory hood latch.
The next hurdle to overcome was how to mount the hood. We weren't going to use the factory hood hinges, so we needed to figure out how to mount the hood pins. By securing the hood via pins, you better make sure that the pins are securely mounted, or you will see it (the hood) leave your car at a high rate of speed sometime. Another consideration to overcome-whether using a pin on or hinge style hood, is the required hole for the protruding tunnel ram or whatever.
Neither of these situations is hard to overcome, if you take your time and think before you cut or drill anything.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
1 The first thing you need to do is remove the hood and hood hinges if you're making it a lift-off style. After unbolting the hood, you need to access the hood hinges to remove them. So, on an A-Body, remove the inner splash shield behind the front tire, and rip the hinge off. Actually, after the splash shield is removed, the hinge comes off by removing the snap clips holding it to the body.2 Now we need to locate where the pins will be located. Since this is a "street weight" hood, it has bracing on the underside of the hood to give it support, so not as many pins will be required to retain/support it.3 To pin the front of our hood, we drilled out the threads for the hood bumpers to give us a good position.4 The rear of the hood is going to be supported/retained by way of these simple, flat pieces of aluminum that hold the pin. Remember, every body style of car will require a different way of mounting, but basically, make sure you have enough attachment points to keep the hood on the car.5 With the pin locations figured out, now it's time to cut the hole. I measured out 8 points around the perimeter of the hood location, and then attached string to each location for a visual. This allows you to make sure your hole is large enough (or too large), before you start cutting. Once you're comfortable with the hole size and location, you can transfer your measurements to the actual hood.6 We placed painters tape around where the opening will be before we started cutting. This not only makes the cut line easier to see, it helps keep small pieces of the hood from chipping away as you cut. As far as cutting, you can either use a fine-blade jig saw, or a cut off wheel.8 In case you're wondering how to locate the pins to drill the holes, simply place a dab of grease on the pins, and set the hood in place. The grease marks let you know where to drill. If you think you'll have a hard time centering the hood to let the grease mark it, use the big hole you just cut.
10 Before any paint can be applied, the hood will need sanded. We lucked out, as our VFN hood needed no bodywork, just scuffed and shot.11 Also, before you paint, be sure to clean the areas being painted with a good cleaner or at least enamel reducer.12 We always liked the looks of a flat-black hood on a car, so we went to our local Auto Zone, and bought some Rustoleum automotive primer. It cost us $20, doesn't require reducer, and it sprayed nicely. Anyone can use it.13 While the hood pins used on the vintage Mopars are cool, we deviated a little by using these simple pins from Moroso. We simply located to clips over the pins, and riveted them into place.14 In order to make the hood "align" properly, a spacer is required on the pins to keep the hood level with the tops of the fenders. Fuel line that is cut to length works great.

SMOKE 'N RIB BBQ PITYear Started: 2012
Long ago as a teenager I dreamed of having our very own family pig cooker. At the time my father had been working very hard to buy all the things needed to build a cooker on wheels.
In 1985 with all parts in hand our next door neighbor Arthur Moore, dad and myself started building and welding and in a few days we had our very own pig cooker ready to cook.
Dad, my brothers and I started cooking chicken, pork shoulders and whole hogs trying this and that until we had our rubs and sauce perfect. We have been asked to cater birthday parties, weddings, family reunions, graduations, and block parties just to name a few.
In 2011 my parents bought me the best gift a brand new cooker. We have expanded our menu to provide you with the best backyard barbecue experience you will ever have. Let Smoke 'n Rib BBQ Pit & Catering surprise you at your next event.
Kevin, Darrell, and some family members started in 2012 a private BBQ catering service. We have been living in the Castle Hayne NC area all our life and look forward to serving this tri-county area the best barbecue in the business.

Winsted: Townspeople came together for shelter residents
I would like to thank everyone who donated for the Thanksgiving dinner at the YMCA for shelter residents and others. The outpouring of support was amazing. We have a very diverse community that sometimes seems to be more at odds than working together to make good things happen.
I was truly overwhelmed by all the sincere support to make sure that day went as spectacularly as possible. I want to send out my gratitude to all the town employees who so generously donated: Chris Royer and the anonymous donor from Sandisfield, for all the baking they did to make sure we had a wonderful assortment of desserts; and Ruth and Craig Sanden, for the turkey's they donated.

My GTA 5 Review
Hi everyone,
I had gotten my copy around Friday night and had been playing for many hours, just messing around the city and doing some story (about 25% in with the story). These are some of the questions I have seen on the forums that I will try to answer, if you have any please ask.
The map is huge and amazingly detailed. It is not flat at all. It reminds me of when I actually went to Los Angeles. There is only Los Santos, no version of San Diego exists as previously rumored, also no San Fierro or Las Venturas. There are towns around the desert and mountains.
My only complain is the lack of off-mission interior locations. I think GTA IV had more interiors. I have only seen one enterable 24-7 store, no Burger Shots or Cluckin Bell like in GTA IV.
Handling: The driving is no longer like that in GTA IV. It is a bit more arcadey. When you hold down the accelerate button, cars burn out and accelerate like in Driver San Francisco (Although idk if that is the best way to put it, I haven't played many racing games.
Damage: Cars don't mangle quite as easy as they did in GTA IV, takes a bit more work, but in my opinion its pretty great. You hit another car really hard and that car's wheel might fall off or you might break its axle and the car gets crippled. You can fly out the windshield and at times it can be instant death. When you smash windows, it looks a lot more realistic and detailed now.
Flying: The flying can be a bit difficult, especially if your character doesn't have good flying stats. The most annoying part in my opinion is the camera when flying, it sticks behind you pretty much. When you do barrel rolls, the camera is focused on the plane and it can be a bit difficult to navigate (others might like this).
The shooting is like GTA IV with a bit of Max Payne 3. The cover system has vastly improved and to shoot you have to aim using the right trigger and shoot with the left. Not as easy as in Max Payne 3's run and gun but I'm not complaining. During combat you can press both right stick and left stick together to enable the special ability. Michael has bullet time, Trevor takes half damage and dishes out double, Franklin slows down time while driving and it really makes taking corners at maximum speed a breeze.
Definitely an improvement over GTA IV. Dodge, punch, kick, the animation is a lot better than GTA IV.
You hold down the left trigger and go into your fighting stance, people either curse at you, get scared and run off, or fight back.
The Police
It is harder to get away from the cops now. They are a lot smarter. Their shooting is more accurate. The key is to hide. You escape their line of site and you see some cops with a line of site on the mini-map. Stay out of it, avoid them in alleys, offroad, etc. You become wanted if you crash your car in front of a cop.
Characters and Story
I will be very vague here as possible, don't want to spoil anything. So far I have seen a few GTA IV characters return and some getting mentioned.
The character switching isn't always available. Sometimes if you accidentally drop into a character, you are stuck with a mission and can't switch back until you are done. Sometimes the characters are just unavailable.
Well you already know characters can be customized. There aren't many options for haircuts or facial hair for Michael or Trevor. Franklin has the most hair styles available and 2-3 beard styles. You can get tattoos. When it comes to clothes, for some reason Franklin and Trevor have the most customizable options. You can't even change the shoes on Michael, his clothes come mostly in a set (ie if you buy pants they will come paired with shoes). This is of course not accounting for DLC.
Paint jobs, wheels, body kits, suspension, engine, armor, window tints and more.
Different cars have different options.
I have not seen hydraulics yet.
LCS customs emails yous when they have new customization available.
You fly a plane and you kill birds if you hit them.
Pressing right on the D-Pad while near a pedestrian triggers some dialogue.
This is all I can think of for now. If you guys have any questions I will answer them.

The one thing I'm really worried about is the driving physics. Hearing them being called "arcadey" does not make me happy. While GTA4's controls were on the sloppy side, all they needed was a little tweaking here and there. If you say it drives like Driver: SF, I can handle that.

Yea I'd say more like Driver SF. Its not arcadey like Midnight Club Los Angeles or other racing games where cars seem to just keep going nonstop even after crashing into something.
I also like the camera angle for cars better in GTA V than IV. GTA IV had that weird left-side view of the car. Like your car was on the right of the screen....

I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Pragmatic Programmer. It's a must-read if you are at all interested in your craft.
This post from the Daily WTF has kept me on the right path. I'll admit to several times having started developing something where a pair of "gloves" were the appropriate solution.
Read the speech given by Alex Stepanov at Adobe. At the end of 5 years this will seperate the GREAT ones from the GOOD ones.
I always found Coding Horror and Joel on Software to be inspiring on certain blog posts. They also always made me feel good because I understood what they were talking about and made me think of myself as a programmer.
I can't believe no one mentioned this yet.
Paul Graham's writings, particularly:
To read
To view
Sometimes it's more about people...
And a bunch of people on whose footsteps to follow, and on whose shoulders to stand (in no particular order and listed as they come to my mind now in free-flow): Alan Kay, Richard Stallman, Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Brian Kernighan, Theo de Raadt, Linus Torvalds, Eric S. Raymond, Rob Pike, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, John MacCarthy, John Conway, Martin Odersky, James Gosling, Guy Steele, Donald Knuth, Edsger Dijkstra, John Carmack, Peter Molyneux... Either their own words and works were inspirational or their stories told by others. As long as you keep in mind that their skills and genius in some areas doesn't prevent them to be blind-sided by their own beliefs in others. Like anyone else. (The 2 books listed above will already cover them fairly well, for most of them!)
Or less famous but nonetheless active technologists that are interesting to follow from afar: Neal Gafter, Martin Fowler, Don Syme, etc...
I was inspired by the works of these people, and the things they did to achieve (or abandon) their projects.
Sometimes it's more about a culture and a dream, and breaking barriers...
Reading the 2600 as a kid when my English was embyonic, the story of early phreakers like Captain Crunch or the birth of the PC era with Wozniak at Apple and reading books and essays by William Gibson and Neil Stephenson were also inspirational for me as a programmer, though it didn't relate to programming directly. In that vein, even the Hacker's Manifesto, the Agile Manigesto or even things like the IEEE Code of Ethics were and still are inspirational.
The Last Lecture a book written by Randy Pausch the man behind Alice. It goes along with his last lecture "Really Achieving your Childhood Dreams". Always gotta remember to be a Tigger.
it's a very short list, made of two books :
In terms of guidance
The book The Elements of Programming Style by Kernighan and Plauger was very influential for me when I was learning C. The book was already considered "obsolete" by the time I read it, due to its use of PL/I and Fortran samples, but the tips transcended both languages.
Before reading that book, I was convinced "style" was about what I now consider trivial issues, like formatting (how many spaces for a tab? where do you place the curlies?). But style is what you have once you remove formatting and naming conventions. Is it easier to construct a string backwards and then reverse it? Then construct it backwards and reverse it.
Another book from Kernighan and Plauger, Software Tools, was also helpful, but not quite as good. And the much newer book The Practice of Programming, by Kernighan and Pike is also useful, but a far cry from The Elements of Programming Style. I wish I still had my copy. It's worth it for every programmer to read.
I grew an appreciation of testing and QA after reading Glenford Myers The Art of Software Testing. It showed me that testing was a real creative activity, and not just something for computer science majors who don't like to program. Perhaps with the growing popularity of Test-Driven Development more people will turn to Myers's book.
And I cannot think of a better introduction to the notion of abstraction than the book The Structure and Interpretation of Programs, which is available free online. It introduces the Scheme programming language, but hits upon many other topics in computer science, including declarative programming.
In terms of inspiration
In my academic career, I was inspired by the concept of Aspect-Oriented Programming. You can read some of the very early papers on AOP and end up with half a page of notes for ideas.
I also think the progress of Church and Turing is very inspiring. In the 1930s, before computers were even made, scientists and mathematicians were programming in a higher-order programming language: Lambda calculus. The construction of Church numbers and the predecessor function is probably one of the most clever programming constructs ever. It shows you how to make something from almost nothing.
Not something I read. In 1984 I was talking to my neighbor and his friend. I was 16. The friend told me that essentially the world is split between computer users and computer programmers. He said only the smartest people in the world can become programmers.
Yeeeeee! What a challenge!
Originaly Joel on Software, the way he writes made it very easy to grasp the concepts when I was beginning.
Code Complete, Second Edition by Steve McConnell.
Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by Erich Gamma
I'm entirely self-taught, and I was fortunate enough to stumble upon an article (I've long since forgotten where) early on in my work that pointed me to these two books. The transformation of my code after I read those two books was staggering. I owe a lot to those authors.
For inspiration, Yegge's Blogs, Graham's Essays and the SICP Video Lectures.
Among many inspirations the most recent one was this book on: Apprenticeship Patterns
When I first read the Design Patterns Book in 1995 or something it was a real eye-opener for me as a programmer.
Nowadays, James Shores' book about agile development inspired me a lot, and lately Lyssa Adkins about coaching teams, both of which are highly recommended if you are interested in such stuff.
Those of an Eastern bent may enjoy a cute little book of koans on the transcendent Tao of Programming.
This was my first step toward on the path toward enlightenment, and was the first thing that encouraged me to think about programming, and creative work in general, as an unconquerable entity of its own that exists to be discovered over time by the creator. Those who try to fight it or understand it will surely fail.
I should re-read this article once every six months If No Shareware Professionals Are 100 Times Smarter Than You, Then Why Do Some Get 100 Times the Results? - by Steve Pavlina
The Little LISPer blew my mind.
I took a High School pascal programming class. I already knew C64 basic pretty well and asked the teacher if all programming languages were like Basic and Pascal. He lent me his copy of the Little LISPer. After spending the weekend reading it, I didn't believe such an odd language could exist or would work. When I saw it running on dial up mini he has access to, I was floored. It did exist.
After my second university level programming class; Algorithms and Data Structures, I switched majors to get access to the better CS Computer lab. They had Unix machines with lisp, scheme, prolog, SmallTalk80 and a ton of other tools.
Code Complete . It covers most of the basic subjects you need to know as a programmer, and gives you directions to learn more about each of them. A very good first step in a learning path. Myself and lots of people I know, wish they read it earlier in their programmer life.
The most inspiring talk I've ever heard was Richard Gabriel talking about that writing software is similar to writing poems. Poets often use a lot of effort to get few words just right - think Haikus - and we should strive towards the same kind of excellence and elegance when writing software.
Elegance and conciseness is as important in programming as in poetry and math, and it requires a lot of effort to do so fluently.
See some of the points on http://www.dreamsongs.com/PoetryOfProgramming.html
The most useful single book ever - not about programming, but about how to work effectively in this field: "Peopleware" by DeMarco and Lister. Should be on every programmers book shelf. And if you move up into management, doubly so.
As Alan Kay said almost 30 years ago, point of view is worth 80 IQ points. Books that changed my point of view:
I found How to Become a Hacker very inspirational. It also gives a workable roadmap for developing as a programmer.
Soul of a new Machine (inspiration when I was in high school) SICP (probably one of the best books related to software development I have ever read)
Marvin Minsky
Seth Godin, while not totally programming-related, has some inspiring posts for me as a programmer and hopeful business person (in addition to Joel on Software).
The book of five rings by Myomoto Musasashi.
Some highlights.
Don't have a a favorite tool. Learn to use every tool, learn when it is appropriate to use, learn its weaknesses and strengths.
Staff whose work is not perfect can be used in places where the quality of their workmanship is in public view. The pillars that support the floor under a building do not have to have a perfect finish (they just have to work).
By doing one thing, do many things. So if there is a choice between doing A and B, but B can be used to do many things next week, do B if you can afford it.
I started off from games programming. It all comes from NES days. Aspired to be game developer and I achieved it but changed to Application Software/Hardware Analyst for better career as my country for games industries is too niche.
During my early days, I actually felt a bit regret of entering into this IT roles. But later was inspired and influenced by my ex-colleagues on his accomplishments and they were quite active in these new technical development areas. During my free time, I will mingle with software programming to work on personal projects with my ex-colleagues.
I know it's a hard read, but Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming is a Really Big Deal in our field. And Douglas Hofstadter's Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid is inspirational for those of us with a mathematical or algorithmic bent.
Just picturing someone designing such complex methods & algorithms almost a century ago gets me motivated.

Robert E. Snider
SNIDER, Robert E. "Bob" Sr. was called home to be with the Lord on May 5, 2013.
He passed peacefully at Siena Woods after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimer's with his loving wife, Catherine "Kay," at his side.
Article Photos
He was born to the late Benjamin and Laura Moran Snider on the 24th of July 1923 in Steubenville.
Bob was a long time member of Brentwood United Methodist Church and served as head usher for many years. He was a member of Brentwood's Methodist Men's Group. Bob gave of himself not only to God and his family, but also his country. He served in the US Navy from 1942-1947 during WWII. He was also a member of the American Legion Post 557 in Wintersville. Robert was retired from National Steel on December 31, 1982, after 40 years of service as a tin mill mechanic and was also a member of the 25-Year Club. Bob's favorite pastime after retiring was golfing. He was a member of Spring Hills Golf Club, and was very proud of his hole in one. Bob, as he was called by family and friends alike, married Catherine "Kay" Currance on the 27th of March 1947 at the Findley Church parsonage. They just celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his infant son, David, an infant brother, brothers, Benjamin, Charles and William.
Bob (Pap) was a devoted family man, and was the greatest father our family could have had. He loved all his children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren, and there is nothing he wouldn't do for them. He will be greatly missed by his widow, Catherine; sons, Robert Jr. (Darlene) of Wintersville, Gary (Cindy) of Richmond, Donald (Debra) of Wintersville, Bruce (Connie) of Wintersville and Brent (Jane) of Goose Creek, SC; brother, Ronald (Deke) and sister, Ruth (Jim) Fike of Wintersville. He is also survived by his 10 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren as well as two great-great-grandchildren.
Pap was so fond of the nurses and aides at Sienna Woods and we are so grateful they took such good care of him. The family requests in lieu of flowers please send donations to Charity Hospice or Brentwood United Methodist Church.
Friends may call at Dunlope-Shorac Funeral Home, 215 Fernwood Rd., Wintersville, OH on Wednesday from 5-8 p.m., where funeral services will be held on Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 12:30 p.m. with Rev.

A former Leavenworth High School football coach has been charged with stealing money from the Leavenworth School District, the county attorney said.
Kevin J. Kopecky, who coached at LHS for three years, is charged in Leavenworth County District Court with two counts of felony theft, Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson said.
He made his first court appearance July 23. He's scheduled to return to court Aug. 20 for a preliminary hearing.
Kopecky began his stint as head football coach at LHS in 2010. He resigned in 2013 to take a job at Eudora High School.
The Lawrence Journal-World reported that he resigned from his coaching position in Eudora earlier this year.
The complaint filed in District Court alleges Kopecky stole $1,626 on Jan. 19, 2011, and an additional $1,262 on Jan. 12, 2012.
The complaint, which lists Kopecky's address as being in De Soto, was filed July 9.
Evidence will be presented during the preliminary hearing, and the judge will determine if the case should be bound over for a trial.

5 Bizarre Ways the Weather Can Kill You Without Warning
Mother Nature is kind of a bitch.
Hurricanes, floods and tsunamis are all her little ways of letting us know that, deep down, she hates us. Possibly for all those times we razed a forest to build a CostCo.
But sometimes mother nature is passive aggressive, throwing a horrifying curve ball out of the clear blue sky. Something that you could never see coming. Something that you probably didn't even know was possible. For instance ...
#5. Megacryometeors
What the...?
So there you are, minding your own business on a nice, clear day when you suddenly get totally killed by a big damn chunk of ice falling out of the sky.
This isn't wimpy hailstone bullshit, either. Megacryometers (the scientific name for "big damn chunk of ice falling out of the sky") are known to weigh up to 450 pounds or more. And this isn't something you see in the arctic, either. The largest stone on record was in Brazil (a country known for its vast quantities of things that aren't ice) and weighed in at a whopping 484 pounds. That will crush your house. Or at least fuck it up pretty good.
They're also known to leave huge craters and are commonly mistaken for meteors. Which they might as well be, if you're the guy who just got his skull pulverized by one.
What? How?!?
Science doesn't exactly know how such a deadly projectile can form naturally. For a while, they were thought to be ejections from airplane bathrooms, but the discharge from those airborn chemical toilets is always blue due to disinfectants they add. These monster hail stones, on the other hand, are white and can fall pretty much anywhere with no real pattern.
Scientists didn't start seriously studying them until 2000 when Spain had a 10-day hailstorm with stones up to six and a half pounds ... without so much as a cloud in the freaking sky. They seem to be most common in the middle of winter. And the middle of the summer. Figure that out.
So what we're saying is it's pretty much like God is throwing darts at the Earth, except instead of darts, He uses chunks of ice that could kill an elephant.
Chances of it Happening to YOU:
These things happen in every part of the world with little rhyme or reason, except that whole thing about being more common in mid summer and mid winter, which obviously does nothing to help you. The sky could pretty much fall right on top of you at any moment, any time of the year.
This one in the picture above fell in some dude's living room while he was watching The Exorcist. Seriously.
There's not even some kind of warning, like high winds or sudden temperature change, just a quick whooshing sound before impact. You'll have just enough time to look up before the giant hailstone wipes the surprised look off your face, or more accurately wipes your surprised face off of you.
#4. Ball Lightning
What the...?
So you're just sitting alone, minding your own business. Maybe it's during a thunderstorm, maybe not. But then, suddenly, you see a bright glowing ball of light pass through a wall without leaving a mark. Or maybe it destroys the whole damn wall.
Welcome to the completely baffling phenomenon known as ball lightning, which, thankfully, is not simply the name for regular lightning that happens to strike your balls (sadly, there is no name for that).
This is just a glowing ball of energy, floating through the air like Satan's fastball. Or imagine Tinkerbell, only without the 6 inch tall stripper in the middle of the glowy ball and possibly burning everything in its path. That's ball lightning.
Above: Ball lightning...maybe.
What? How?!?
Ball lightning is so strange, for the longest time scientists just thought people were making shit up. Witnesses who reported it had the same credibility as UFO abductees.
And while they're at least trying to study it now, we still have no clue how it works. Some people think it's a special kind of static electricity. Some think it's electrified silicon. Some think it's a big ball of What The Fuck that has somehow adopted physical form.
Another theory that's actually taken seriously, despite it being batshit insane, is that ball lightning is caused by singularities, which is something really massive that doesn't actually take up any space, if you can wrap your head around that. That was the theory after some ball lightning left a wake of destruction in Ireland.
Chances of it Happening to YOU:
It's estimated that 1 in 20 Americans have seen ball lightning, meaning that there's probably thousands, of people reading this who have seen it. Granted, you probably mistook it for a UFO, or a Hadouken...
...but you saw it. If you see it again, try to catch it in a jar or something. Scientists want to study that shit.
#3. Raining Animals
What the...?
So you're sitting in the middle of a thunderstorm, minding your own business, when a goddamned fish slaps you in the face.
You stare stupidly at the thing flopping around on the ground in front of you, when you're smacked in the head by chunks of frozen frog. You're gonna need a bigger umbrella, because it appears a nearby fish market has exploded.
What? How?!?
Actually, it's not that. What's happened is a tornado has hit a small body of water, flinging fish and amphibians into the air for miles around.
Often the creatures are still alive and relatively healthy when they hit the ground, making for a terrifyingly Biblical scene as live fish flail around in the middle of the street. However, sometimes, the animals are flung high into the atmosphere and frozen solid before making your street look like the frozen food section of a post-Apocalyptic Wal-Mart.
Most horrifying of all, in some instances the animals are completely and totally pureed by the storm, torn into a rain of pink bloody chunks. We challenge you to find a more perfect time to play that song 'Raining Blood' by Slayer.
Chances of it Happening to YOU:
This phenomenon has happened fewer than 20 times in the past decade, not counting Honduras, where it supposedly happens twice a year (which the cats there must think is awesome).
So unless you live in Honduras, you're pretty safe. However, there is that one in a billion chance you could get caught in a repeat of Bath, England's 1894 rain of jellyfish. In that case you're pretty much screwed, especially if you happen to be naked at the time.

How Family History Effects the Probability of BRCA1 or BRCA2
Jill E. Stopfer
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I am wondering what the probability is of finding the gene alterations BRCA1 or BRCA2 in a family where:
Jill E. Stopfer, MS Certified Genetic Counselor for the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Risk Evaluation Programs, responds:
There are several issues in calculating the chance of finding a BRCA1 or BRCA2 alteration, also called the "prior probability" of finding a mutation. The only way to determine the prior probability is to take a detailed family history. The family history must include all cancer diagnoses, not just breast and/or ovarian cancer, all ages at diagnosis, and ethnicity. An individualized risk assessment would shed more light on your personal risk. Also, please speak to your doctor about the appropriate screening guidelines for a person with your profile and family history. If you are interested in finding a cancer genetics professional in their areathere is a site within the NCI that can provide that information. Please see The Familial Cancer Risk Counseling & Genetic Testing Information Search Form
The cancer risks associated with a BRCA1 or 2 mutation are usually presented as a range, since different studies have come up with different risk information.
LIFETIME breast and ovarian Cancer risks for BRCA1:
- breast (female) 56-85%
- ovarian 20-60%
- other associated cancers, risks less clearly defined: prostate, colon
- breast (female) 56-85%
- ovarian 10-20%
- breast (MALE) 6%
- other associated cancer, risks less clearly defined: prostate, pancreatic

Deal with Colombia could secure energy
March 21, 2011 - LM Editorial
As President Obama completes his trip to Brazil, Chile and El Salvador, U.S. manufacturers are urging his administration to move forward on the pending free trade agreement with Colombia.
William D. Marsh, a vice president for the top-tier oilfield service company, Baker Hughes Inc., was a witness last week at a House Ways and Means Trade Subcommittee hearing on the FTA, testifying on behalf of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). The main thrust of his comments were that such an agreement is vital to our national energy security.
"From a security perspective, there are advantages to developing Western Hemisphere energy sources like those in Colombia," he said. "Colombia is considered a U.S. ally with a relatively stable government and economy. Oil and gas from Colombia could displace oil from less secure foreign sources of supply. Helping Colombia maintain a strong economy is also in our national interest. Therefore, adopting this reciprocal treaty is a win for both countries."
Furthermore, noted Marsh, just as it is better economically and strategically to import oil and natural gas from Canada than, say, Russia, it would be preferable to have Colombia instead of Venezuela as a major supplier of energy to the United States.

With the fiscal cliff looming and the apparent inability of Congress to agree on a budget the past several years, many see Congress as an institution consumed by partisan bickering and gridlock.
Not so, according to a new book co-authored by political science professors Scott Adler from CU-Boulder and John D. Wilkerson from the University of Washington. According to Adler, Congress's long history of addressing significant societal problems – even in recent years – seems to contradict this view.
Called "Congress and the Politics of Problem Solving," Adler says the book shows how a simple premise – voters are willing to hold lawmakers accountable for their collective problem-solving abilities – can produce novel insights into legislative organization, behavior and output.

Crown Prince Sultan chairs Cabinet session
July 12, 2010
Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz chaired the weekly Cabinet session at Al-Salam Palace in Jeddah today. The Cabinet reviewed a number of reports on developments in the Arab and Islamic worlds and condemned the recent terrorist acts that have killed and wounded scores of innocent civilians in Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia and Uganda. The Cabinet reiterated the Kingdom's firm and ongoing rejection of terrorism, whatever its source and location, and stressed the need to achieve security and stability in those nations.
Then Second Deputy Prime Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz, who serves as Chairman of the Supreme Hajj Committee, delivered a report on the outcome of the latest meeting of the Committee. Prince Nayef praised the directives issued by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Sultan on achieving higher levels of safety and security for pilgrims, Umrah performers and holy site visitors, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan, adding that those directives are being implemented.
Next, the Cabinet expressed its satisfaction with the findings of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the Financial Action Task Force to the Middle East and North Africa (MENAFATF), which ranked the Kingdom first among Arab countries and in the top ten among G-20 states in its efforts to combat money laundering and terrorism financing.
Moving on to its agenda items, the Cabinet approved two agreements with Egypt on prisoner transfers and combating drug-trafficking, signed in Sharm el-Sheikh on 14/10/2009; authorized the Minister of Education to sign an agreement with UNESCO to create a program called the "Abdullah bin Abdulaziz International Program for the Culture of Dialogue and Peace"; approved the final account of the General Authority for Tourism and Antiquities for fiscal year 1428/1429 H.; approved several rules regulating the establishment of sports academies by clubs; and approved the accession of the Kingdom to the International Sugar Agreement for the year (1992 G.).
The Cabinet approved the appointments of Yousef Al-Shathry as Management Consultant at the Ministry of Defense and Aviation and General Inspection (15th rank); Mohammed Al-Mutairi as Committee Works' Manager at the Secretariat of the Council of Ministers (15th rank); Abdulaziz Al-Babtain as Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry for School Affairs at the Ministry of Education (14th rank); Ibrahim Al-Hussaini as General Manager of Public Expenditure at the Ministry of Finance (14th rank); and Bashir Al-Fotawi as Consultant Geologist Engineer at the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (14th rank).

It seems like there is no voice command in Siri to directly update your status on twitter.
Am I missing something? I thought that with iOS 5 Twitter is tightly integrated into iOS?!
Because Twitter offers to update your status via SMS, there is an easy workaround.
Now you can update your Twitter status via Siri:
Enable SMS for Twitter
In order for the workaround to work, you need to enable the SMS feature for Twitter first.
You can do this either online by editing your profile on twitter.com or send the text message
International Twitter SMS codes
You can get a full list of the world-wide twitter short codes here.
Some countries or providers do not support short codes. You have to use long codes instead. Fees may apply:
For completeness, in iOS 6, posting to Twitter is now a fully-supported feature through Siri. Just say "Tweet ..."
You can also go to the Twitter app and press the microphone button on the keyboard.
As Siri is in beta not all features are available, this is something that could be added in the full release.

Leavenworth Main Street will be organizing another downtown festival this September. But Main Street's director said this year's event will be different from the 2012 Buffalo Bill Days Festival.
"There will be some changes," said Wendy Scheidt, executive director for the Leavenworth Main Street Program.
She said this year's event probably won't be as spread out in the downtown area as last year's festival. And it's not clear yet if the event, which will be held the second week of September, will again be called Buffalo Bill Days.
Scheidt said Main Street officials had talked to several groups in the community about helping with this year's festival but she's "not real sure the interest is there."
"We're open to volunteers," she said.
At this point, it appears the Hog Wild West Barbecue contest will return. The contest had its inaugural year at the 2012 Buffalo Bill Days Festival. It was a sanctioned Kansas City Barbecue Society event and a state barbecue competition.
"Everybody likes barbecue," Scheidt said.
And this year's contest may offer expanded tasting opportunities.
Scheidt said music is important and she'd like for it to be part of the festival. She said some specialty food vendors also may be included.
"We try to put a quality event together," Scheidt said.

I just finished reading the annotated edition of Lolita, and Nabokov hid references to other works of literature everywhere. Lately I've also been considering ways to work in lyrics and other oblique references in my own work. Is there an accepted way to go about referencing or repurposing bits of other works without it becoming plagiarism? Should I try and contact the original authors first? And have any of you had negative experiences using these sort of references in your own work?
Allusion is a time-honoured writing technique. Copyright only protects the expression, not the idea itself, so as long as the expression is yours (you are saying things in your own words), you should be in the clear.
Short quotes will generally be okay as well, under a "fair use" or similar policy, but should be properly attributed and sourced, if possible, in non-fiction writing. When writing fiction, I'd generally advise against using direct quotes as a matter of style; far better to paraphrase or otherwise hint at the relevant quote and leave it to the observant reader to spot the reference.
However, should you find yourself wanting to reproduce a substantial or highly identifiable (something along the lines of Jabberwocky, say) portion of a copyrighted text verbatim, you stand to run afoul of copyright law. Such uses should be licensed.
Moreover, certain names or titles may be trademarked (this is generally restricted to media franchises), which might mean problems if you use them in the scope encompassed by the trademark; so look out for that.
A "reference" (e.g. a paraphrase or a discussion of a theme from another work). Short direct quotations (a few sentences) can just be attribute, in the text or in a footnote. Anything longer you should get permission from the rights-holder (which is typically the publisher).

I would like to learn about derived functors. Which reference do you advise ?
I have to agree strongly with Ame's answer, in part. Weibel is a great place to go for the formalism. Once you have a little bit of the formalism, though, where to go depends on interests. To really see a lot of the power of derived functors, Hartshorne chapter 3 has some good theorems and exercises using them (though he does bounce back and forth with Cech cohomology...) and Huybrecht's "Fourier Mukai Transforms in Algebraic Geometry" book is very clear (at least to me) in the first few chapters, where he discusses derived categories (Note: I do disagree with Harry, this is a SECOND step, not a first for most) and makes extensive use of them, as he's interested in talking about derived categories, and they're the most natural thing in the universe there.
Also, the following papers might help:
Fourier Mukai Transforms and Applications to String Theory talks about how FM transforms (which are compositions of derived functors) help in string theory
Derived categories for the working mathematician This is a wonderful paper, very clear about what the derived category is, and might help in conjunction with the books above.
The classic book "An introduction to homological algebra" by Weibel is an excellent reference, although it is not an easy read. I would certainly not recommend the book by Kashiwara and Schapira. Rotman is decent, but not as clear as Weibel, and it is full of typos.
When learning about derived functors, also try to see how they are used in an "applied context" (algebraic geometry/algebraic topology/any other applications which might interest you...).
I don't think going straight to derived categories (as Harry Gindi suggests) is a good idea.
It's perhaps in the "second step" category of references, but the book by Gelfand and Manin is a classic reference for derived categories. (Later editions have fewer typos I think).
Rotman - "Introduction to homological algebra"
Peter Hilton and Urs Stammbach's Introduction to Homological Algebra is a great, more or less slow paced introduction to the classical theory. MacLane's Homology also makes a great introduction, provided you have a little background to appreciate its examples.
IMO it is not a good idea to start with derived categories. In most cases that approach results in the quite wrong idea that homological algebra is an absolutely abstract and obstruse subject with no contact with 'concrete math'.
There are some nice lecture notes by Jon Woolf on derived categories, derived functors and triangulated categories.
It's only three lectures'-worth, and the emphasis is more on derived and triangulated categories than derived functors. Still, maybe you'll find them useful. The lectures were for an audience of category theorists, but Woolf is a mostly-algebraic geometer and they finish with a brief description of some advanced applications to geometry.
Oh, and I like Weibel too.
If you already know a cohomology theory I'd go straight to derived categories: it's what I did and, although it wasn't easy, it was sure worth it. Richard Thomas's notes suggested by Charles Siegel are excellent, as a sort of supplement I'd recommend Behrang Noohi's notes http://www.mth.kcl.ac.uk/~noohi/papers/Tehran.pdf
As far as books go, I definitely suggest reading the last chapter of Aluffi's great book Algebra Chapter 0. It doesn't reach derived categories, but it gives you every tool you need to approach them later.
After those I'd say the first chapter of Kashiwara-Schapira's Sheaves on Manifolds is very good, as it is fast and concise. Gelfand-Manin is also worth checking out, although full of mistakes. But if you're really brave I'd read Kashiwara-Schapira's Categories and Sheaves: it's the best (but only if you need all the gory details).

For additional security, the suggestion is made to move the wp-config.php up one level. Can this be done after the site has already been launched? Any potential issues in doing this? Are there an restrictions/suggestions on what the new folder should be called?
You can safely move it as far as I know.... but what do you mean folder?
Up one level would already be a folder....
if your site is in html, or public_html or whatever, you place the wp-config file in whatever folder holds your html or public_html folder
like if your path is /home/content/u/s/e/user/html/
And your WP is in html, the wp-config would go in user, the next folder up which is not web accessible. WP will automatically look for it there
If you are on shared hosting, you probably can't do that anyway
And if you have WP in a subdirectory, there would be no point in moving wp-config, as moving it up a level would still put it in a web accessible directory
No (that I can think of).
You should not create any new folders. Simply move file up one level. For example if your current path is
You can safely move
