6 MORE Creepy Urban Legends (That Happen to be True)
As we are fond of pointing out, fact is usually much creepier than fiction.
So around this time of year we like to share some of the most gut-wrenchingly disturbing stories, the kind we would tell around the campfire if we ever actually went outside. And most importantly, they're all true.
#6. Something Off About That Picture
The Legend:
A young man is dropping off groceries at the house of an eccentric old lady when he notices an old photo that makes the hair on his arms stand on end. The photo's normal enough--a young boy in his Sunday best--but something just seems off. He asks the old lady who it is.
"Oh," she replies, trying to stuff a cat in the dishwasher "isn't that beautiful? You can hardly tell he's dead."
The Truth:
While most folks today are too squeamish to take more than a glance into the casket during a funeral, in the late 19th through early 20th centuries someone dying meant it was time to break out the camera for a family photo. The practice was known as memorial photography.
And, while it all sounds like the set-up for some terrifying practical joke on the photographer, there was actually a somewhat reasonable explanation for the practice. The process used to take pictures back then was expensive enough that it was a once in a lifetime (er, or shortly after a lifetime) thing for most, and required people to sit perfectly still for a couple minutes for it to turn out properly. And if there's one thing dead people are good at it's sitting still.
So, the bodies were dressed and propped up, with their eyes held open. And in case they still weren't giving off that lively "I'm not a corpse harnessed to a chair" vibe, some color was added to the faces in the photo. And just look what they could do with special effects in those days!
Some photographers also offered to add stink lines, but it never really caught on.
Eventually the practice of memorial photography went out of style, maybe because picture-taking became more affordable and didn't have to be reserved for special occasions such as death. Or, possibly everyone just sat up all at once and said, "Wait, what the fuck are we doing?"
#5. The Corpse in the Carpet
The Legend:
You can find this tale of ill-advised interior decorating on angelfire pages across the web lumped in with old chestnuts like "The call is coming from inside the house!" According to the story, somebody finds a beautiful old rug in an alley, takes it home and finds something horrifying wrapped inside (what some call "the Taco Bell burrito scenario"). Variations of this one include bodies being found in discarded refrigerators or wardrobes, but the message remains the same; don't do your home decor shopping anyplace that smells of crackhead urine.
The Truth:
In 1984, three Columbia University students found a rolled-up carpet on the sidewalk and decided to drag it back home (we assume they were mainly looking for something to absorb vomit and Doritos crumbs, rather than accessorize their milk crate furniture).
Once they got the carpet back to their dorm they unrolled it and found the rotting corpse of an unidentified man with two bullet holes in his skull. Yes, three students from a 50 thousand dollar-a-year college carried a carpet all the way home without noticing it contained a 200-pound stinking mass of decomposing flesh.
At the very least we hope these fine young leaders of tomorrow didn't just push the body into the corner and go back to playing Atari.
#4. The Toxic Woman
The Legend:
A sick woman arrives at a hospital and when the nurses withdraw blood it is so toxic that it begins making everyone around her sick too. Realizing they're dealing with the human embodiment of the creature from Alien, the nurses flee for their lives.
The Truth:
On the evening of February 19th, 1994, Gloria Ramirez was admitted to a California emergency room, suffering from an advanced form of cancer.
When a nurse drew Gloria's blood she detected a foul odor, so foul in fact that hospital staff started gagging and even collapsing around her. Eventually as many as 23 people were affected. The ER was evacuated and a decontamination unit brought in. So more like the creature from Alien crossed with a fart, but still.
The case was quickly written off as mass hysteria, but considering that the worst affected victim spent two weeks in intensive care suffering from hepatitis, pancreatitis and avascular necrosis (a condition which literally causes your bones to die) we'd say either this was some serious damned hysteria or the guy who decided that got his degree from Dumbass University.
As for Gloria, she died just 40 minutes after arriving at the hospital. Her autopsy was performed by men in full hazmat moon suits and, despite one of the most extensive forensic investigations in history, it's still not known what exactly turned this woman's blood into toxic sludge. Granted, the experts on the case have refused to take off their hazmat suits since that day, and have now retreated to a small island which they have surrounded with barbed wire, but those are probably just the usual precautions.

Achieving Continuous Integration with Drupal [March 7, 2012]
Want to learn more about Acquia's products, services, and happenings in the Drupal Community? Visit our site: http://bit.ly/yLaHO5.
Creating killer websites is hard, but deploying them shouldn't be.
Developing and deploying web sites is best accomplished using a methodology called Continuous Integration (CI). By working in small batches, testing constantly, and automating all testing and deployment tasks, you can avoid big surprises and painful deployment experience. However, achieving a true Continous Integration development process requires building and maintaining a highly automated infrastructure. You can build such a system yourself, or with Acquia Cloud you can be up and running in a few minutes.
Participants in this webinar will learn:
- The ten principles of continuous integration
- How to build continuous integration into your Drupal development process.
- How to automate running tests, sanitize databases, perform rollbacks, and other actions on Acquia Cloud using the Cloud API.
Lead by Barry Jaspan, this session will also include a demonstration of Acquia's continuous integration platform.

I am not sure whether it is some well-known named model in statistical physics. I could not find it in any standard text-book that I know of.
Let there be $N$ identical classical particles occupying a square lattice of $2N$ sites with at most one particle per site. Let the alternate sites be names $A$ and $B$. Let $p$ be the fraction of particles on $A$-type sites and assume that for a fixed value of $p$, all configurations are equally likely. (mean field approximation?)
- Then how does one calculate the entropy as a function of $p$? I guess there is some simplification that will happen if one works in the limit of $N$ being very large. (thermodynamic limit?)
Let there be a repulsive interaction energy of $E_0$ whenever neighbouring $A$ and $B$ type sites are occupied.
- In that case the claim seems to be that the average total energy $E(p)$ is given by $4NE_0p(1-p)$. (..I am not sure whether here any large $N$ limit has been taken..but I guess this too is some asymptotic answer..)
I would be glad if someone can help calculate/derive the above two bulleted questions. I would like to know if there is some general framework or class of models from which this comes.
Apparently the interesting thing about this model is that it has a second order phase transition. How does one prove that? Or is it somehow supposed to be obvious?
Will some single unique value of $p$ get picked out in the high and low temperature limit? How does one determine that?
For the last/above two of the questions one would obviously need to assume that the system is at a thermal equilibrium at a temperature $T$. Then I guess the value of $p$ gets determined by minimizing the ``free energy" $=F(p) = E(p) - TS(p)$. But to be able to do this calculation one would probably first need to find the answer to the first two questions in the large $N$/ thermodynamic limit.

OK so I have a iframe canvas app with its height set to "Settable" with the facebook javascrip sdk calls to FB.Canvas.setSize(); and FB.Canvas.setAutoGrow();. These are working perfectly, as the iframe gets set to a certain pixel height based on its content.
The problem is that when I make a call to Fancybox, it positions itself based on this height. I know that's exactly what its supposed to do as the fancybox jQuery returns the viewport by:
(line 673 of latest version of jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.js):
_get_viewport = function() {
return [
$(window).width() - (currentOpts.margin * 2),
$(window).height() - (currentOpts.margin * 2),
$(document).scrollTop() + currentOpts.margin
But the problem is the iframe will, for a lot of viewers, be longer than their browser window. So the Fancybox centers itself in the iframe and ends up only partly visible to the majority of viewers. (i.e. iframe height is 1058px and users browser is say only 650px).
Is there a way to have fancybox just calculate the physical browser height? Or do I need to change some settings in my Facebook canvas app to make it work?
I like how the only scrollbar is the one on Facebook (the parent, if you will).
All suggestions GREATLY appreciated!

I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo. I want to copy my outlook contacts to my phone without gmail. This is my first time I bought a Android. It seems great, but one thing I do not like is that I have to sync my whole life with google first, before I can transfer it. The previous software allowed me to copy back and forth between PC and phone,without going onto the internet. Hopefully it is something I'm doing wrong, because if it is not, I'm changing OS!
Please help

Frequently Asked Questions
How to Foster
The steps to becoming a foster parent are very similar to those as adopting, and involve many of the same seven steps. The first step is deciding you want to foster and contacting a foster care agency. It usually takes about a year from the time you first contact an agency to the time when a child is placed with you. This estimate can vary depending on the agency you're working with and the State where you live.
Learn more about the steps to becoming a foster parent below, including a video overview of what each step is about. If you already have a relationship with a child you're looking to foster (such as having been their teacher, coach, pastor, neighbor, etc.) the order of the following steps may be altered.
For more information about becoming a foster parent, contact us.
Deciding to Pursue Fostering
Deciding to pursue becoming a foster parent is the first step and where you will contact a local agency and attend an orientation meeting.
Applying to Foster
Applying to become a foster parent is the second step and where you'll complete required training and your application to foster.
Completing a Foster Home Study
Completing a home study is the third step and where your caseworker meets with you in your home to determine if you're ready to become a foster parent.
Getting Approved to Foster
Getting approved to provide foster care is the fourth step where background checks are done and your home study is completed.
Receiving a Foster Placement
This is the fifth step and final step in becoming a foster parent, and where a child or sibling group is temporarily placed with you.
Being a Foster Parent
Being a foster parent is a rewarding experience, whether the place is for several days or several months. Just remember you're never alone and there is a wealth of resources to help you along the way.

Jessica Simpson Is Done Trying To Look Like 'The Perfect Barbie Type'
Courtesy Lucky
Jessica Simpson's fluctuating weight never ceases to make headlines, but for once, the blonde bombshell isn't giving it a second thought. Fresh off her globe-trotting journey for her VH1 reality show The Price of Beauty , Simpson has come to realize "we all obsess over looking like the perfect Barbie type, and that's not always what's beautiful. It's about making peace with yourself." Now, the Lucky September cover girl has finally come to terms with her own body issues and is embracing her curvy hourglass figure. And for Simpson, that means learning how to dress for her body. Simpson dishes, "I'm a huge Jean Paul Gaultier fan. His pieces make my waist look good. Yes, they're an investment, but I'll have them when I'm old and gray." On a more casual note, Jessica relies on Tucker's blousy, long-sleeved silk tops. "Whenever I wear them, I make sure to show off my legs a little bit!" Her bottoms of choice? "I like skinny jeans, but I wear them a bit baggy and lower on my hips and roll them up at the bottom," reveals the beauty. And of course, her favorite pairs are from her new denim line–which she donned for her cover shoot! Hear more from Jessica on her favorite style and beauty secrets by picking up the September issue of Lucky or visiting luckymag.com. —Andrea DeSimone

He Hates Homework!
Q: My son has always hated homework. It is a constant battle every night. He is on a set schedule and nothing else is allowed until he finishes his work. He puts little effort in his work so I make him do it over. How can I make homework fun for him?
A: Nightly homework battles will destroy the relationship you have with your son. It is a no-win situation. The more you push him to do homework, the more he will continue to resist.
You must give the responsibility of doing homework back to your child. You don't have homework to do, he does. Let him suffer the consequences of failing to turn in work or handing in sloppy work. It should be an issue between him and his teacher. Be sure, however, to explain to his teacher that you have been helping your child with his homework and will no longer be doing so.
Sit down with your son today and set some new rules. Tell him he is now in charge of doing his work and you will no longer be issuing homework reminders or supervising his work. At the same time, point out this responsibility comes with an obligation to do well. If his grades fall, explain you will need to establish a penalty for not doing homework, such as eliminating television viewing or having friends over.
One reason your child may hate homework so much is because you have insisted that he complete it before being able to enjoy more pleasurable activities. Many children need a period of relaxation and playing with friends before tackling homework. When your son is able to set his own time for doing homework, he may not find homework as unpleasant a task.
For some good advice about disengaging from homework battles, we recommend that you read Ending the Homework Hassle by John Rosemond. At the same time, your son could profit from reading How To Do Homework Without Throwing Up by Trevor Romain for some witty insights about homework.

When I first read about Ubuntu phone I became very excited about it. However, I am disappointed to see that if I want to get started I should download and install Ubuntu first. While I can totally understand this (it's pretty much the same with Windows phone and iOS), I prefer Debian on desktop and I don't want to get rid of it, although I couldn't find the qml toolkit for Debian, nor Windows. Is there any chance that developer tools will be released for the above mentioned platforms?
Ubuntu can be installed in a virtual machine on other platforms already. Since Ubuntu is free, this is the easiest path to get into Ubuntu development if you can't switch platform.
Failing this, Ubuntu will always be free, so any developer tools released as part of Ubuntu can always be ported to other platforms by developers if they wish.
But let's be realistic: who's going to bother to do it, and with what motivation? Nothing is stopping anyone, but I can't see it happening.

Selling Your Home: Timing Is Everything
Congratulations, You Own Two Homes
Don't Go There
Don't be overly optimistic about selling your home quickly if real estate sales in your neighborhood have been at a standstill for the past six months. If sales are down, it's not a good idea to buy a new home before you sell your old one unless you've got enough money to hold two mortgages for a period of time.
Just imagine that you're out driving around one Sunday afternoon and suddenly, you see it. It's the house you always wanted, but have never seen before. And it's got a sale sign in the front yard. The minute you saw it, before you even noticed the sign, you knew you were destined to live there.
You go right home and grab your spouse, babbling all the while about this perfect house. Your excitement is contagious, and by six o'clock that evening you've made an offer. You lie awake all night, planning where you'll put the piano and what color curtains you'll get for the guest room.
The next day, you learn that the seller has accepted your offer, and you set a settlement date for 30 days out. You're absolutely thrilled, until you suddenly realize that unless you sell your current home within a month's time, you'll own two homes.
How in the world could you afford two homes, even if it's just for a little while? Well, know that while this situation sounds frightening, it occurs all the time. Most buyers who already own a home will agree to make an offer on a new home with the contingency that they must sell their current property before buying the new one. This delays settlement for the sellers until they've sold their house. If a cash buyer comes along, however, the seller does not have to hold the house for the contingent buyer.
Read up on swing loans; this nifty innovation allows you to buy a home before you sell the one you're in.
Swing loans are mortgage loans that use your first property as collateral for the second home. You'll be required to sign a mortgage note, but you'll only pay interest until your first property is sold. When you sell the property, you repay the loan and satisfy the mortgage.
Owning two homes is sometimes necessary. If you're going to be in that position, just be sure that you think through how you'll manage financially until your current house is sold.
Where Is the Nearest Hotel, Please?
Go Figure
Most contractors try to stay pretty well on schedule with new construction, but sometimes delays occur. If the buyers of the new construction timed their settlement in anticipation of the pre-delay construction schedule, they could be in for a period of homelessness.
On the other end of the owning-two-homes spectrum is the dilemma of being temporarily without a home. Sometimes, a house sells much faster than anticipated, or its sale is contingent on the buyers being able to move in very quickly, forcing the sellers to make settlement on their home before they've bought or settled on a new one.
Being between houses isn't completely bad, although most people avoid it if they can.
On the plus side, you will have sold your house, clearing the way for you to go ahead and look for a new one. On the minus side, you'll need to find a place to store your furniture—not to mention yourselves—until you find a new home, wait for your settlement date, or wait on new construction.
Many people bunk in with family rather than stay in a motel, but you probably know how living with relatives can get a bit, shall we say, stressful? Hopefully, your timing will work out right, and you can avoid this situation. If your timing problem is due to a construction delay, ask the builder to reimburse you for hotel costs.

I have parent records in two tables,
Table1 and
Table2. Some records in
Table3 are children of
Table1, and some are children of
I would like to build a query that I can use to populate a TreeView control with the data from
Table3 displaying either under
Table1 if it only has a parent in
Table1 and not
Table2, or
Table2 if it has parent records in both
Table1 and
Is it possible that if the table3's column(Child) is only related to table 1 to show it under table 1 and not under table 2, but at the same time another (Child) has a parent in table 2 (which usually is the case) it will show under table 2 as its currently doing.
How can I output that in a query for a TreeView? I am assuming that I will have to program the output in C#, with 3
FOR loops. In the second loop I can check if the column is grandchild or Child and make that as a second row or 2nd node of the TreeView, but I am having a problem building a query in SQL.
The query below shows all Parent, then child then grandchild, which is working, but what is desired is at times child takes place of a father.
DECLARE @x AS XML
SET @x =
, Table1.Asset_ID
, Table1.FromLR
, Table1.Asset_ID + ', ' + Table1.[Desc2] AS GarndFather

LEFT OUTER JOIN Table3 ON Table1.AssetSysID = Table3.AssetSysID

I've modified the code above to reflect some changes:

A Lansing-area police officer is in critical condition after crashing his patrol car while racing to help a sheriff's deputy dealing with an armed man.
The crash happened about 5:30 a.m. Monday.
DeWitt Township police Chief Brian Russell identifies the injured officer as 31-year-old Robert Stump, a four-year veteran of the force.
The Lansing State Journal (http://on.lsj.com/11PfxTf ) says Stump was responding to a call from a Clinton County sheriff's deputy who was on a run for a report of a suicidal man armed with a knife.
Authorities say Stump hit a utility pole and some trees. He was in critical condition Tuesday at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing.

Pick Me Up
Category: Events/Exhibitions,
Posted: May 6th 2014
No. of comments: 0
This weekend we attended London's popular Graphic Design festival, 'Pick Me Up'. The branding was designed by recent London guest lecturer, Emmi Salonen, and the oversized props looked amazing in situ at Somerset House.
The event itself was an awesome array of colourful illustrations and design pieces feauting work from the likes of Hey Studio and Jessica Das. We made the most of the acitivities available by painting some letters to spell 'TYPE' as well as attending a hilarious lecture, 'Confessions of a Typographer: Sins Serif' by Paul Felton. Our part time tutor Lana even volunteered to be beheaded as part of the 'Paper Cuts' installation.
If you missed the chance to visit 'Pick Me Up' this year, make sure you head down next year as it's a real treat for all things design!

How well you sharpen a Japanese planer blade with your whetstone depends on how you hold your mouth. So goes the legend-and Paul Discoe, who has delicately hand-sharpened many a blade in his Japanese timber-framing shop, has found it to be true. He's still using a set of tools he brought back from Japan, where he studied Buddhist temple design and construction from 1970 to 1975, and he's still applying the techniques he learned there to design and build custom timber-frame homes, workspaces, and temples.
Paul Discoe
Credit: Photo: Jeff Singer
In an age where woodworkers use power tools almost exclusively, Discoe's employees each have a set of traditional Japanese chisels, planes, and pull saws that enable them to do highly refined and exacting work. These tools can be more keenly sharpened and can cut more accurately to the line than their American counterparts. Handling them requires the utmost concentration as well as an athletic ability to move in just the right way. Discoe likens his woodworking to riding a bike instead of driving a car to your destination. It takes longer, but you notice more along the way and enjoy more flexibility and personal participation.
As part of his work, Discoe has had to come up with creative ways to conceal metal fastenings, hold-downs, and rods to maintain the integrity of pre-industrial Asian design while also meeting modern building codes.
His successful melding of East and West has led to jobs for clients such as the San Francisco Zen Center and Oracle's Larry Ellison, who commissioned 10 15th-century Japanese buildings, including a main home and guest and tea houses, for his estate. Parts are built in the shop, then shipped and assembled on site.
His latest design is an economical modular house that comes in a kit and can be arranged in any shape based on an 8-foot grid, making his high-end craftsmanship now affordable for folks like you and me. Just be sure to hold your mouth just right during assembly.

How can a group of people figure out who is the oldest, without revealing any other information?
Revealing all the ages to a trusted third party is not allowed. Preferably I'm looking for solutions where nobody gets other information, not even a third party.
Preferably I'm looking for a solution which works for large (e.g. 64-bit or 1024-bit) age values as well. (Even though using the word age is not intuitive for such large numbers.)
I'm looking for a low-cost pencil-and-paper solution, or a solution in which each pair of people has a secure bidirectional communication channel (i.e. the digital equivalent of: anyone can write any message to a sheet of paper, fold it, and pass it to anyone else). I'm not looking for solutions which require building other kind of physical devices.
(Is there a book or web page describing such non-revealing algorithms?)
This question is not a duplicate of Non-revealing maximum , because this question doesn't ask for the maximum age value: it even explicitly forbids revealing the maximum age value, because that would be too much information shared. Having a solution to this question doesn't give us a solution to the other question. Having a solution to the other question doesn't give us a solution to this question.
The solution to Yao's Millionaires' Problem can be used to solve this question when the group size is 2. But in this question I'm interested in the answer for larger groups as well.

Applications for this fall's moose and elk hunting seasons must be in the mail and postmarked before midnight March 25.
To apply online, or to print out an application to mail, access the North Dakota Game and Fish Department's website, gf.nd.gov. Applications are also available at Game and Fish offices, county auditors and license vendors.
A total of 43,500 North Dakota deer hunters took approximately 26,300 deer during the 2014 deer gun hunting season.
The State Game and Fish Department made available 48,000 deer gun licenses in 2014, and all licenses were issued. Overall hunter success was 60 percent, with each hunter spending an average of 4.4 days in the field.
Hunter success for antlered white-tailed deer was 60 percent, and antlerless whitetail was 56 percent.
Jack Fletcher's catch on Feb. 28 broke a state record for cisco that was established nearly 15 years ago.
The Fargo angler reeled in a 2-pound, 9-ounce cisco from Beaver Bay, Lake Oahe, breaking the old record by 1 ounce.
The previous record was held since 2000 by two family members from Pick City, Tylor and Scott Borup Jr., who each reeled in a 2-pound, 8-ounce cisco from the Garrison Dam Tailrace on the same day.
Outdoor enthusiasts are invited to attend a North Dakota Game and Fish Department spring advisory board meeting in their area.
These public meetings, held each spring and fall, provide citizens with an opportunity to discuss fish and wildlife issues and ask questions of their district advisors and agency personnel.
The governor appoints eight Game and Fish Department advisors, each representing a multi-county section of the state, to serve as a liaison between the department and public.
Spring light goose hunters, anglers and trappers are reminded that 2015-16 licenses are required starting April 1.
The 2015-16 small game, fishing and furbearer licenses are effective April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016.
Licenses can be purchased online by accessing the online services link at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov.
Wildlife, shooting, fraternal and nonprofit civil organizations are urged to submit an application for the Encouraging Tomorrow's Hunters program, a State Game and Fish Department grant program developed to assist recruitment of the next generation of hunters and shooters.
The maximum grant allowed is $3,000. The program currently helps fund approximately 40 club and organizational events and projects, with an average grant of $1,550.
North Dakota's elk and moose hunting seasons are set with more licenses available in 2015 than last year. However, the bighorn sheep hunting season will be closed for the first time since 1983.
A total of 301 elk licenses are available to hunters this fall, an increase of 40 from last year. Unit E1 has an additional 15 any-elk and 15 antlerless licenses, and unit E3 has an increase of 10 antlerless licenses. In addition, the split season antlerless elk only portion of E1 is eliminated to provide additional hunting opportunity and address late-season depredation issues.
The 2015 spring wild turkey lottery has been held and hopeful hunters can check individual results by accessing the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website at gf.nd.gov.
A total of 700 licenses remain in nine units. The governor's proclamation allows a maximum of two licenses, and hunters who did not apply in the first drawing are also eligible.
Anglers are reminded that North Dakota's darkhouse spearfishing season closes March 15.
Individuals who would still like to get out for the first time this year must register with the North Dakota Game and Fish Department. Registration is available through the department's website, gf.nd.gov, or through any Game and Fish Department office.
March 15 is also the deadline for anglers to remove permanent fish houses from state waters.
Anglers have until mid-March to remove permanent fish houses from North Dakota waters, and from any state wildlife management area or federal refuge land.
State law requires permanent fish houses must be removed from North Dakota waters by midnight March 15. In addition, it is illegal to leave fish houses on any state-owned or managed land, and federal refuge land, after March 15.
Anglers are advised to use caution while accessing area lakes because mild weather conditions can quickly result in unstable ice conditions.
North Dakota spring light goose hunters can track general locations of geese as birds make their way through the state.
Hunters are able to call 701-328-3697 to hear recorded information 24 hours a day. Migration reports are also posted on the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov. Updates will be provided periodically during the week as migration events occur, until the season ends or geese have left the state.
The North Dakota Game Wardens Association has a $300 scholarship available for a graduating high school senior entering college in fall 2015 who enrolls in fisheries or wildlife management with an emphasis on law enforcement.
Applicants must be North Dakota residents and have maintained a 3.25 grade point average. The scholarship will be awarded to the student upon proof of enrollment in college.

Taxis - Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Enforcement
Licensing Enforcement Officers will report:
Private Hire Drivers who:-
- Illegally ply for hire;
(This will also invalidate your insurance)
- Stand, wait or pull onto Hackney Carriage ranks;
- Fail to wear their badge;
- Have their two-way radio loose in the foot-well of their vehicle;
- Drive without insurance.
Hackney Carriage Drivers who:-
- Drive their cabs with their meters unsealed;
- Drive without insurance;
- Allow their vehicles to be driven by unlicensed drivers.
Private Hire or Hackney Carriage Drivers who:-
- Obstruct authorised officers or police officers;
- Fail to comply with a request from such an officer;
- Use false addresses;
- Fail to report accidents to the licensing section;
- Fail to report their change of address, or the transfer of their plates.
These offences carry maximum fines of between £400 and £5000 and in some instances will also include a minimum of 6 - 8 points on your licence.
Those drivers continually caught breaking the law or behaving in an unacceptable way will be reported to the Licensing Sub Committee who may suspend or revoke the drivers licence.
More information
Rules of Evidence
The Licensing Enforcement team are like any other authorised enforcement agency and must comply with all rules of evidence and home office guidelines to ensure consistency and fairness. In any case presented before a magistrate or crown court the prosecution must prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the offence charged was committed by the defendant. This means that in all cases the Council's officers must ensure that they have followed up all reasonable lines of enquiry and that the matter has been processed efficiently and within strict guidelines and time limits.
Legislation which guides officers in their activities includes:-
- The Police and Criminal Evidence Act
- Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act
- The Human Rights Act
- Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act
- Town Police Clauses Act
- Regulatory Investigations Procedures Act
In order to ensure a reasonable chance of success the legislation must be used and adhered to.
Our Performance
You can view our performance and a summary of our service standards including the current Licensing Service Plan by visiting our Service Plan and Service Standards page.
Our Operations
We have been increasing our overt "yellow coating" operations in the City Centre, in particular Broad Street to stamp out illegal activity by licensed vehicles. In recent years we have been asked to reduce this particular activity and concentrate on catching those vehicles plying for hire rather than conducting overt operations and stop checks. As a result we have continued to conduct plying for hire activities and have caught 'out and out pirates' and those who appear to regularly carry out this activity. Despite the number of exercises we conduct and the associated publicity generated it is very disappointing that we continue to catch licensed private hire vehicles plying for hire in the city.
Other Activities we Undertake
We undertake a number of other enforcement activities which include:-
- Carrying out covert operations in order to catch those involved in pirating. [Remember you will not see us at this time, you will not know where we are or who we are until the end of the journey. We don't broadcast we are out when we are catching vehicles pirating].
- Educating the public via leaflets, bus advertisements and local radio announcements.
- Utilising the Media to warn the public and advise them of the law.
- Education campaigns at pubs and clubs regarding the Law.
- Targeting Universities and colleges to get our message across.
- Utilising other enforcement agencies such as parking attendants and traffic wardens.
- Undertaking talks and presentations to institutions and groups.
- Continued liaison with trade representatives to ensure that the best intelligence is obtained.
Enforcement Exercises
The television and radio footage below highlights some of the work of our Licensing Enforcement Team regulating the Hackney Carriage and Private Hire trade in relation to illegally plying for hire and random stop checks that monitor compliance with their conditions of licence, such as safety standards.

A naive solution would be to optimize a dummy variable via linear programming and see if a result is returned. I imagine there must be a more direct way.
Most linear programming solvers check for feasibility first (usually this takes as much time as the second phase, which is actually finding the optimum, and uses the exact same algorithm). I would advise reading a standard textbook on the subject (Luenberger is good, Schrijver great if you are interested in integer/mixed problems).
You haven't said whether you're interested in theoretical analysis or practical computation. At the practical level, you also haven't specified whether you can live with an approximate floating point solution or whether you need a solution that is exactly feasible (e.g. a solution expressed in infinite precision rational numbers.) Finally, if you are interested in doing this in practice, it would be important to know something about the size of the problem instances that you need to solve.
From the point of view of practical computation with floating point numbers on problems of reasonable size (problems with hundreds of thousands of constraints and millions of variables are often solved in practice), using a good LP solver is definitely the way to proceed- this technology has been developed to a very high level and nothing you could cook up would be faster.
From the theoretical point of view, the LP formulation is solvable in polynomial time. I don't believe that you can get any improvement in the computational complexity by solving a feasibility problem rather than the optimization version of the problem.

See our WHOLESALE PRODUCT CATALOGUE to the left of this page for the full range of African crafts with wholesale prices. We also ship world wide.....come on a journey with us through the motherland of African Arts and Crafts.
African Beadwork is the largest and most important craft industry in South Africa, with beautiful beading techniques and skills being passed down through the generations from mothers to daughters. These rural African Beadwork ladies are some of the most impoverished people in Africa and the proceeds from their hand made African Beaded Necklaces, Beaded Tin Mugs, Beaded Key Rings, Beaded Lanyards, Beaded Tableware and many other African Beadwork crafts supports themselves and their families.
The Beaded SA Flag is the most widely recognised African Beadwork product available in South Africa. The colors of the SA Flag have been incorporated into a range of Beadwork Products including Beaded SA Flag Key Rings, Beaded SA Flag Lanyards, Beaded SA Flag Pens, SA Flag Cutlery, SA Flag Beaded Jewelry and SA Flag Tin Mugs.
Corporate Gifts in South has become a major contributor to the well being of African crafters as large companies are now sourcing their conference gifts from this sector in appose to the cheap Chinese gifts on offer. Crafters are more than happy to personalize the African gifts to their customer requirements. Beaded Lanyards and Beaded SA Flags are some of the most popular African corporate gifts.
Zulu Wire Baskets are called 'Mbenge' in Zulu and are hand made using age old grass weaving techniques. Security guards working night shift started this wire work by weaving recycled telephone wire onto their security sticks. Huge array of colorful patterns and designs available.
Zulu Hats are traditionally only worn by the married Zulu woman. These brightly colored 'Isicholos' are made from a framework of grass and palm leaves covered in fabric with intricate bead and stitch work trim. Zulu hats have moved beyond clothing and are now used as African decor.
African Shirts are brightly colored shirts with intricate neck detail. Most African Shirts are pullover shirts with two front pockets and are available in a wide selection of colors and styles.
Brightly colored African bracelets, African necklaces and African earrings are worn by the local Zulu Maidens. Traditional African designs have fused with contemporary styles creating unique South African Beadwork Jewelry. The beaded Zulu Love Letter is an example of this creativity.
The African Art community includes some of the most naturally talented African Artists in the world with an incredibly diverse arrangement of artworks on offer, from scrimshaw art onto soapstone carvings, charcoal sketches, colorful wax batiks, banana leaf art, beautiful wildlife oil paintings, to the humble emerging African street art or township art. African 'Big Five' wall hangings hand made in the local community project is another form of African Art.
African Masks hand made from wood and fiber with metal inlays and African patterns, representing the different African cultures and tribes of indigenous Africans, from the East to the West Coast of Africa in their traditional ceremonies for both the living and the dead, most of these African Masks are highly decorated.
African baskets, bowls, picnic baskets and mats from grass, palm leaf fronds and other natural materials are used in the rural villages on a daily basis and yet these baskets are so skillfully made with African patterns and designs that they have become sought after as African Decor.
We only sell A GRADE Nguni Hides which are a bi-product of Nguni cattle slaughtered for beef. We have a wide range of Nguni skins in all colours which are currently on special now.
Earth Africa hammocks are the only '100% permanent outdoor hammocks' available in South Africa. Ideally suited to B&B's and Game lodges. Single and double hammocks available.
Hand made key rings from African Beads and wire in a multitude of different African animals and designs including the SA Flag Key ring, we also custom make key rings. Besides Beaded key rings we also stock cow bone, horn and wood carved key rings with African designs painted on.
At the end of the long, hot, dusty African day, tribesmen sit on Nguni Hides and drink 'Tswala' (African beer) while beating cow hide drums which echoes over the plains and through the valleys of this amazing continent that we call home. The young boys return from the fields with their Nguni cattle.
Just another beautiful day in Africa...
Thank you - Siyabonga.

A mammogram is an X-ray image of your breast used to screen for breast cancer. Mammograms play a key role in early breast cancer detection and help decrease breast cancer deaths.
During a mammogram, your breasts are compressed between two firm surfaces to spread out the breast tissue. Then an X-ray captures black-and-white images of your breasts that are displayed on a computer screen and examined by a doctor who looks for signs of cancer.
A mammogram can be used either for screening or for diagnostic purposes. How often you should have a mammogram depends on your age and your risk of breast cancer.

Accepting Correction from the Father
from R.C. Sproul Aug 02, 2009 Category: ArticlesSome people have a hard time even thinking of God as "Father" because of the horrible abuse they suffered from their earthly fathers' hands. But God is a Father who never abuses His children, although He does punish them. He chastens those whom He loves. It is wise for the child of God to fear the corrective wrath of the Father.

Fostering Fear of God
from R.C. Sproul Jul 31, 2009 Category: ArticlesI recently heard a young Christian remark, "I have no fear of dying." When I heard this comment I thought to myself, "I wish I could say that." I am not afraid of death. I believe that death for the Christian is a glorious transition to heaven. I am not afraid of going to heaven. It's the process that frightens me. I don't know by what means I will die. It may be via a process of suffering, and that frightens me. I know that even this shouldn't frighten me. There are lots of things that frighten me that I shouldn't let frighten me. The Scripture declares that perfect love casts out fear. But love is still imperfect, and fear hangs around. Keep Reading
Covenant Prosecutors
from R.C. Sproul Jul 30, 2009 Category: ArticlesI don't remember the exact words. They went something like this: "He was a thundering paradox of a man." These words served as the opening lines of William Manchester's classic biography of General Douglas MacArthur. In this work, MacArthur was shown as a multi-faceted man whose essence could not be crystallized by a single attribute. In like manner, the prophets of the Old Testament were men of multi-faceted and multi-dimensioned responsibilities and behavior. Keep Reading
Developing a Passion for God

Calvin & Culture, Reconsidered
from Gene Edward Veith Jul 27, 2009 Category: ArticlesOne of the greatest social scientists credits John Calvin for the rise of capitalism and, by extension, modern Western culture itself. That is quite an influence and quite a tribute to Calvin. Nevertheless, though there is some truth to the claim, the specific scholarship behind it demonstrates a profound misunderstanding, not only of Calvin but of the Reformation. Keep Reading
The Presence of Christ
from R.C. Sproul Jul 26, 2009 Category: ArticlesThe Heidelberg Catechism states, in the answer to Question 47, "Christ is true man and true God. With respect to His human nature He is no longer on earth, but with respect to His divinity, majesty, grace, and Spirit He is never absent from us." This statement tried to do justice to Jesus' own teaching before He left this planet. Keep Reading
Where Is the Glory Found?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Jul 24, 2009 Category: ArticlesAs birthdays go, it's a big one. It is fitting and appropriate that we would mark the five-hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Calvin. Trouble is, that occasion is being marked in at least two different ways. First, those who do not find Calvin to their liking will seek to paint the man as a sour-faced, power-mad, fundamentalist and extremist. The ghost of Servetus will be forced to dance for us once more, and those of us who are grateful for Calvin will be encouraged to repent for our stubborn ways. Keep Reading
Outlived or Lived Out?
from Gordon Reed Jul 23, 2009 Category: ArticlesMany years ago I was privileged to know several great men of faith in the generation just preceding my own. I regarded these men with deep respect and even held them in awe because of their great knowledge and even greater piety. Looking back, I realize that one of the many things they all held in common was a passionate love for the basics of biblical, Reformed doctrine. Because of this, they were dedicated students and teachers of that often neglected document known as the Westminster Shorter Catechism. But beyond mere reference to it and frequent quotes from it, the doctrines contained in the Shorter Catechism saturated their minds and their ministries. Keep Reading

Is it possible to get a newer kernel with the ubuntu patches applied (as a deb + related packages - such as headers, since this machine would be best not compiling the kernel for time restraints)? I'd prefer a ppa, if one exists.
There's a PPA for mainline kernel builds. You can read all about it on the wiki.
The easiest way to get a more recent kernel is to grab the appropriate deb for your hardware from launchpad and install it.
I build my own kernels. Following the "old fashioned way" from the Ubuntu help page makes it a doddle. Most of the time is spent waiting for it to compile (it's big -- 6GB over 80,000 files once compiled). Don't be scared by that. It's a good learning experience.
Other people may suggest "mainline" builds but these are only kept up to date for the latest version of Ubuntu. You can usually just pull these back but pair that with GCC version mismatches and other undesirable things, it's usually just easier to compile it yourself.
I've gone over the steps at least five times on here already, so here's a link to my last effort.


text: Ola! Here is Wally's brother Gus from Rocket Monkeys which is an animated series that airs, or is going to be airing on Nickelodeon. This next lesson is going to simply show you "how to draw Gus from Rocket Monkeys". Gus is the responsible one of the two. He is the eldest, which means he is also naturally the captain of their ship. Gus has a more focused expression on his face, which means he must do a lot of planning and thinking. Drawing Gus should be pretty simple so make sure to tackle this tut especially if you are looking forward to watching the show.

I think its a tornado.
un tornado?
multi exposure?
just amazing !
incredible pic . excellent work .
I am seeing picture of this technique for the first time. Its amazing, gives so much more character to the photo.
Very good camera...
interesting! to make something new1
This is incredible
Wow, that's amazing. I need to learn how to do that.
aMazzzziiiinnnnGGGGGG !!!!!
Camera obscura originally used (as I've read) as a tool for artists as an aid - back in the day, way back.
so great!
Excellent. A lost art predating photography by a couple of thousand years.
good example of camera obscura
What a clever photo. I used to go to the camera obscura at Garden of the Gods park in Colorado Springs. It is gone now. It was projected onto a white canvas. I never thought of projecting onto the ground. Simply awesome.
Just WOW!
Simply Beautiful
Can anyone please tell the details of how this picture was created??
Great..!! it look like fusion of two picture.
Initially I thought it was created through the use of water on the lens of the camera. The effect is a kind of textural pointillism crossed with cinecolor exposure.
It is thoughtful and brave - Of course, there are two photos above - and I like them both.
Technicality / Composition / Content / X factor / originality = 7/10 zoom lenses
Never seen this technique before, quite interesting.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_obscura for the details of how a camera obscura projects an image on a canvas - in this case the ground; with rocks, leaves and other debris, which makes for a very granulated canvas.
@Abhinav Singh This is a tent-camera image. A tent is set up and then the camera obscura technique (basically a giant pinhole camera using a periscope type lens) is used to project an image down onto whatever surface the tent is set up over. Then he takes a photo of that projection. It is not the fusion of two images.

I like to develop in Java but also want compatibility with the global menu? Is there a way? Please help.
There is a library called java-gnome (a java gtk wrapper) that allows your apps to behave like all of the native apps. It provides all the glory to them: native widgets, global menu, etc.
The library is available on the ubuntu repositories:
The goal of the library is to develop a rich Java + Gnome experience. Beware, that if you use this library your app will lose the multiplatform feature of Java (since it'll be tied to java-gnome).
Here is a sample app (that comes with java-gnome) displaying the menu integration:
Try Ayatana. You may find instructions here: http://hanynowsky.wordpress.com/2012/05/12/integration-of-java-swing-applications-with-unity-global-menu-in-ubuntu-12-04/
All you have to do is to import the Java Ayatana Library and call it in your main JFrame class. This actually implies the addition of the following couple of lines in your code (as well as importing Ayatana classes):
Here is an example:
And the most important thing is that your application is still cross-platform. I have tested the above example in both Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Windows XP.
You can use a ppa: ppa:danjaredg/jayatana
That is normally done at the toolkit level, for instance in GTK or Qt. So the intended way to do it would be to patch Swing, if that's the GUI toolkit you're using. However, all the Unity components communicate using DBus, so if you really wanted to, you could do it yourself by implementing the DBus API yourself. If you want to do this, you might want to have a look at libdbusmenu and see how it works.
Not a fix for you, but FYI: I filed Ubuntu bug #984916 to track the fact that Swing menus are not (semi-)automatically integrated into the global menu.

In the "Choose my next forum game" thread, you all decided upon percentage mafia variation 2. Here's the post for further reference.

Similar variation 1. Everyone has their own investigation and NK abilities.

In case everyone does a NK chain that kills off everyone, NKs will be rendered as 0% chances of happening, except one random one. Alliances are free to be made, and PM warfare is accepted. Infinite sign ups until the game begins, with a requirement that 6 players must sign first.
