Online pass but it's free
In this game, you play as Agent 47, a professional assassin. You have many ways to take out your enemies and main targets. This game requires you play on at least Hard mode to gain a difficulty related achievement. There are challenges, collectibles, and an online mode which you must complete to gain all achievements. An online pass is required by some regions (though it is free in North America). So far the rating is a 6/10 based on the game being pretty difficult on Hard alone. Without any kind of guide, you can die multiple times not realizing there was an easy way (like just avoiding certain areas in general).
Step 1: Campaign
There are 20 levels to complete for this game. Difficulty matters, so play it on Hard mode if you would like to get the achievement out of the way. Replaying missions on Hard also works for the achievement. This gives you some flexibility if you want to come back to a mission later if it's difficult. You can play any way you see fit to accomplish your goals. Remember that you cannot get any of the achievements in the prologue aside from completing it. You must do all achievements on the following missions. A great place to tackle a lot of the achievements is Mission 2: The King of Chinatown. It is a one area type of mission and you can get a lot of the achievements quickly including the Silent Assassin achievement.
Step 2: Contracts Mode
This is the game's online mode. You do not fight against other players, but set up contracts for them to kill. The game uses the same levels as the campaign but you can pick any AI in the level as a target. You can choose up to 3. A contract is created when a player chooses an AI as a target and kills them in whatever way they see fit. The other player whom is playing the contract must mimic the assassination. There are a few achievements related to this mode, so look through the guide to see what you need.
People have been confirming they used alternate or silver accounts to gain achievements based on Contracts Mode.
Step 3: Misson Replays
If you missed anything or need to complete challenges, collectibles, etc, then you can now do so on Medium difficulty. You only need 100 challenges, so only pick the ones that are easy. Don't bother going for ones such as Suit Only or ones requiring you never to get detected. They take up a lot of time and effort.
This game is pretty straightforward with it's achievements. With mission select, you will be able to retry what you may have missed. The game's saving feature is nice so that once you complete a challenge for example, you may quit out and move on to the next (instead of completing the rest of the level). The game is forgiving in the fact it doesn't make you do all challenges, but under half of them. The games achievements are extremely easy, but the difficulty of the story on Hard difficulty can prove frustrating for some.
for an early look into the achievements for this game, and for providing me with the information I needed to start this guide. He has revealed all secret achievements to me as well.

Rival to Miss World Will Crown a Pious Muslim Woman
After hardline Islamists voiced opposition to the Miss World contest now being staged in Muslim-majority Indonesia, a rival World Muslimah beauty contest exclusively for Muslim women will announce its winner on Wednesday in the capital of Jakarta, though the U.S. candidate suddenly dropped out.
"Muslimah World is a beauty pageant, but the requirements are very different from Miss World," the pageant's founder Eka Shanti told Agence France-Presse.
"You have to be pious, be a positive role model and show how you balance a life of spirituality in today's modernized world," she said.

Child Advocates Of Placer County
Rating: 5 stars 2 2 reviews
PO Box 701 Auburn CA 95604 USA
Founded in 2003, Child Advocates of Placer County formed to administer the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program for the Placer County Juvenile Court. The CASA concept was developed in 1977 by a judge in Seattle, WA, who was disturbed that he was making life-impacting decisions for foster youth based on a minimal amount of information. Today there are over 50,000 CASA volunteers nation-wide. Each county has its own Superior Court, and so each county ideally also has its own CASA program. As sworn officers of the court, our CASA volunteers advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected foster youth, providing the presiding judge with recommendations for permanent placement and communicating the childs wishes.

My family has used this herb for generations. We make a "Tea" out of it - allowing the herb to steep overnight. We drink only one shot glass per day. We use for general tonic. And we have always had good results in improving overall health.

As part of its precautionary measures to curtail the spread of the deadly Ebola virus amongst employees within the Judicial Branch of Government, authorities at the Temple of Justice have sent home about 133 workers.
The information was contained in a circular posted on the various bulletins placed at the Temple of Justice building, calling on those concerned to stay home for at least 31 days beginning Monday, August 4, 2014.
The measure started last Thursday, July 28, 2014, when a memorandum was issued to all employees on grounds of fumigating the entire building in response to the Ebola virus, which has engulfed the country.
Although the exercise does not affect normal court proceedings, but information gathered by our reporter said it is intended to reduce the number of workers to prevent the spread of the virus.

From the Back Cover
"Amy's book more than illustrates her passion for the 'mighty mushroom,' and will provide any cook with both practical information and culinary inspiration." (Daniel Boulud)
Cooking her way through over fifty seasons of porcinis and portobellos, chanterelles, blewits, and hedgehogs, Amy Farges knows the secret of each wild and cultivated mushroom's affinities, its preferred cooking method, its subtleties of texture, flavor, and even size. And as the co-founder, with her husband, of Aux Delices des Bois and Marche aux Delices, the New York - based mushroom purveyors, she's spent over a dozen years talking mushrooms, handling mushrooms, tasting mushrooms, and swapping mushroom ideas. Distilled here are the best of her recipes and knowledge. It's mushroom heaven.

Ferguson was able to produce uniformly in rabbits gastric ulcers which persisted 2-8 months or longer. He incised the anterior wall of the stomach and at the point of incision removed a piece of the mucosa, and then closed the stomach by a silk suture, the rabbits being kept on a diet of hay, oats and carrots. It occurred to Fauley and Ivy that this observation provided a method of studying the effects of diet on the healing of this experimental ulcer. In the first series of rabbits used they found that if a lesion was made in the posterior

We have three remote offices (office A, B, and C), two (Office B and C) of them need to access the Linux file server and web application server in Office C. We also need to administer the network of the Office B and C from Office A, the network is comprised of servers, wireless routers and workstations. We also have a need to synchronize our database from Office B and C to the central database on Office A.
I am not really an expert on network technologies but our service provider offered Carrier Ethernet and Metro Ethernet to support our needs. Question is - which one is better for us in terms of scalability, reliability and quality of service?
We are thinking of getting a 20Mbps pipe and share the bandwidth to all three offices (if possible) and we basically control (by traffic shaping) the allowable bandwidth per network. I don't know if I explained this very well.

Product Reviews
Christopher Cotter5 Stars Out Of 5A Good Hard Look at YourselfJanuary 18, 2016Christopher CotterQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Yikes! Be prepared to have a mirror put right in front of you! Get the audiobook or mp3 disk. As I listened, I felt repeatedly stabbed by the two-edged sword. Ouch. Though you might "recommend" this to a friend, it is not a book for everybody, especially the self-righteous.
Karah5 Stars Out Of 5I love this bookNovember 24, 2015KarahQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I have this audio book on my MP3 player. I have listened to it twice and I am on my 3rd time now. I absolutely love this book. I have never had a book I could relate to so much - it spoke to me on so many levels! Having my headphones in, I have had people stop and look at me when I have laughed out loud many times. I can't recommend this book enough. In one word - INCREDIBLE! I'm going to be buying the action journal next. It made me think of all the alarms I've heard in my life before I finally had my AHA moment. I know the areas I need to change in my life and I thank Kyle for bringing light to the most serious situations.

He is so easy to follow, deep in spiritual content and yet, simple and it has impact; BIG IMPACT! Enjoyed this book immensely; explains at the heart the moment where your sin and God meets, and then Truth and Grace flow to impact your life to instill changes that last. He explains with such reality what happens with regret vs repentance; sin and repentance, so true to life....experience!
Highly recommended!
Christy Bower5 Stars Out Of 5What Every Good Christian Book Should Be--Easy to Read, Enjoyable, and Packs a PunchJanuary 24, 2015Christy BowerQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5You probably dont think of yourself as a prodigal. I didnt. Ive been a Christian for decades. But when Kyle Idleman began to probe my heart with the details of the Parable of the Prodigal Son, I began to change my mind. In Kyles mind, the return of a prodigal to the father is not a one-time occurrence, but a recurring event that needs to take place in our lives.
In his model, based on the tale of the prodigal son, he suggests we need a good Awakening to the condition of our spiritual lives. Then we need to face the facts about ourselves with raw Honesty. And finally, we need this newfound awareness of our condition to lead us to Action. In steps that are incredibly simple, readers learn to identify areas of their lives ripe for change BEFORE we hit rock bottom.
I really enjoyed this book. It was easy to read and laced with stories, many of which were laugh-out-loud funny. (My favorite was the one he told about his ears. I was laughing so hard I was crying.) I actually think this is the model of what every good Christian book should beeasy to read, enjoyable, and packs a punch.
Until we learn to love people the way Jesus loved people, we still have prodigal hearts. I learned to look at things differently and see areas of my life where Ive been prodigal and I need to return to the Father for help.
Im sure you will enjoy and feel challenged by AHA. Take time to read it so you can discover your AHA moment.

The Spirit of New Orleans Is in Its Music
Songs of New Orleans
Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans? [Live]
Louisiana 1927
When the Levee Breaks
Walking to New Orleans
Right Place, Wrong Time
For many music fans, it has been hard to hear the dramatic stories coming out of New Orleans and not think about the city's rich cultural heritage. New Orleans is steeped in music, from the street parades of Mardi Gras to smoky blues bars and the brass bands that march in jazz funerals.
The flooding sparked by Hurricane Katrina has resonated on several levels with folklorist Nick Spitzer, host of the roots-music program American Routes on public radio. Spitzer and his family evacuated the day before the storm hit — his home and office are both in New Orleans.
For nearly two weeks, Spitzer has been producing a post-storm version of his show from member station KRVS in Lafayette, La., where he is staying with friends.
And as he has watched conditions in New Orleans grow increasingly desperate, Spitzer has kept on playing music — much of it devoted to his beleaguered city. He shares some of his selections with Melissa Block.

Creating a Tropical Garden Scheme
Pots and Backdrops
With the emphasis on bold, punchy, exotic planting, avoid pots that will upstage the plants. The latter should grab all the attention. Only try exciting shapes or painted pots where the plants command equal attention. Avoid anything green in the background (from decking to a lawn), so that all the leaves are clearly visible, without any competition.
Permanent Fillers
The choice of gap fillers is important because if all the plants are headline-grabbers, they will fight for attention, and you'll get more losers than winners. Use the fillers to guide the eye to the strongest shapes, and create breathing spaces. The most reliable and highly effective include shade-happy hostas and ferns.
- Adiantum venustum
- Choisya ternata
- Dryopteris filix-mas
- Hebe
- Hosta 'Blue Angel'
- Hosta fortunei var. aureomarginata
- Hosta 'Frances Williams'
- Hosta 'Halcyon'
- Laurus nobilis
- Matteuccia struthiopteris
- Pieris
- Sasa palmata
- Sedum
Colorful Accents
Tropical scenes demand sparing, judicious use of color, just enough to hint at parrots and toucans. Traditional English bedding plants, such as petunias and busy Lizzies (Impatiens), are ideal, as are the flashier dahlias, red hot pokers (Kniphofia), ginger lilies (Hedychium) and montbretia (Crocosmia).
Care Tips for Tender Plants
Tender plants can be treated in four ways: grow them as annuals and discard at the end of the season; take cuttings from the parent (again discarded); keep the plants under cover over winter; or wrap the plant and pot in bubble plastic, or in straw inside a chicken-wire case.
Tropical Planting Ideas
Chamaerops humilis (Image 1): The slow-growing dwarf fan palm comes from southern Europe but is happy in colder areas. It makes a bushy, low-growing clump of stiff leaves, and is quite a rarity because it doesn't get ripped and ruined by fierce winds. Bring inside in winter in cold areas.
Trachycarpus wagnerianus (Image 2): A slower-growing, neater version of the Chusan palm (T. fortunei), with smaller, straighter, stiffer, but equally splayed leaves. The extra rigidity and smallness mean it is better able to withstand windy sites. Move indoors in winter in cold areas.
Agave (Image 3): These American succulents are all slow-growing. Tender Agave americana has extraordinary, long, saw-edged, viciously spine-tipped leaves, which can reach 5 feet high. 'Variegata' has yellow-edged leaves but is more tender; and 'Mediopicta' has a yellow leaf band.
More Tropical Planting Ideas
Phormium cookianum 'Sundowner' (Image 1): One of the flashier forms of mountain flax, making a chunky clump with a burst of tall, arching, bronze-green leaves with pink margins. The summer flowers are a minor bonus, and are well worth leaving for the superb pods that follow.
Musa basjoo (Image 2): The Japanese banana is hardy enough for mild inner city gardens. It puts on prodigious annual growth and has massive paddle-like leaves up to 6 feet long. In cold areas, cut off the leaves when frosted, create a tube of chicken wire around the stem, and pack with straw.
Canna 'Striata' (Image 3): With its 18-inch high, vertical, paddle-shaped, green- and yellow-striped leaves, place this canna where the sun shines through it, to get the full effect. Orange, gladiolus-like flowers emerge above the foliage in midsummer. Bring under cover in winter.

Watching the turmoil gripping their Ukrainian homeland makes
Gennadiy Labara and Maryna Bilousova happier to call New
Zealand home.
The pair were among a group of 40 people who were sworn in as
New Zealand citizens at a ceremony at the Municipal Chambers
in Dunedin yesterday.
The couple moved to Dunedin in 2006 to build a ''brighter
future for ourselves and for our future family'', Mrs
Bilousova said.
Having married in the Ukraine, they left their homeland in
1998 to move to Australia.
''We left [Ukraine] because we wanted stability,'' she said.
''Over there you don't always know what is going to happen
the next day.''
They were tempted to New Zealand by the recommendation of a
''It's a beautiful country,'' Mrs Bilousova said.
While New Zealand had felt like home ''a long time ago'',
yesterday's ceremony meant ''now it's really home'', Mr
Labara said.
The couple had a 3-year-old son, Andre, who was a ''Kiwi''
and, despite Mr Labara's job as a swimming coach, he hoped
Andre would one day become an All Black.
The couple still had family in the Ukraine and the turmoil
unfolding in the country was ''very upsetting'', Mrs
Bilousova said.
''I'm very sorry for our country,'' Mr Labara said.
The pair hoped for a peaceful future for their homeland and,
because of Mr Labara's mixed Russian and Ukrainian ancestry,
were philosophical about the conflict.
''There's always two points of view,'' Mrs Bilousova said.
''But [Ukraine] needed some change,'' Mr Labara added.
However, the pair were looking to their future as citizens of
New Zealand.
''It's great [to be citizens]. But it's not the end of the
journey, it's the beginning,'' she said.
Mr Labara added: ''My dad's Ukrainian, my mum's Russian and
now I'm a Kiwi.''
The other new citizens were. -Beverly Ohline (American);

Hard Sport for Karin Magog and Steve Croweby Jack Geldard - UKC Chief Editor Feb/2013
This news story has been read 10,045 times
Karin told UKC:
"Steve and I have both had a couple of successful trips out to Spain this winter, one back in November then again this month. We travelled around a bit more in the autumn, getting to Extauri, Tres Ponts, Bruixes and Chulilla, whereas this trip has been mainly at Chulilla due to the unsettled weather."
Karin's hardest ticks:
When asked about El Infierno, Karin said: "This is the grade given in the new guide but I think it will settle down at 8b, it's still pretty new and I got an early ascent of this."
8b or 8b/+ this is still an extremely impressive effort from Karin who is one of the UK's top female climbers just quietly ticking hard both on bolts and trad.
Steve is also climbing very well and has onsighted 3 8a's all at Chulilla; El Capataz Incapaz, Diedro Mata and Agente Naranja.
Karin has also been onsighting well, sucessfully onsighting her hardest routes to date with a bunch of 8as including Alt Urgell at Tres Ponts and El Capataz Incapaz and Diedro Mata both at Chulilla.
Karin commented:
"[The 8as were] my first ones, so I went for the long, gently overhanging endurance routes that suit me. The 3 8bs were all gently overhanging as well, and generally fingery and technical involving a lot of layaways and undercuts. They were all endurance routes, with Aonvolsan being 50m, Montana Magica 35m and El Infierno 30m."
Awesome to effort both Steve and Karin - good luck for the coming spring in the UK.

This application is a divisional of and claims priority from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/425,132 filed on Oct. 22, 1999 and incorporated herewith.
The present invention relates to displaying text on a computer screen. In particular, the present invention relates to displaying text within a region on a computer screen.
To allow different areas of a computer screen to have different appearances, the prior art has developed a coding construct known as a region, which is defined as an area located within the perimeter of a closed shape or some combination of closed shapes. Often, a region is defined as a combination of rectangles, ellipses and polygons.
To write text within a region, a series of rectangles are generated within the region. In the prior art, these rectangles are generated using a technique associated with rendering a region to a screen. Under this technique, the region is "scanned" to produce a set of vertically stacked rectangles that approximate the region. The height of each of these rectangles is fixed and determines the granularity of the approximation. In general, shorter rectangles provide a more accurate representation of the region but also require more data.
Under text layout systems of the prior art, this scanning technique is used to identify a series of rectangles in which text may be written. Since the rectangles must accommodate the text, the height of the rectangles is set equal to the height of the text that is to be written in the region.
This technique can cause problems if the region is later rendered using shorter rectangles than the rectangles used to layout the text. In particular, the higher definition rectangles can cause a perimeter of the region to intersect some of the text that is supposed to be contained within the region. To avoid this problem, the region's rendering rectangles can be made the same height as the text rectangles, but this may diminish the appearance of the region's perimeter.
In addition, since the scanning technique only builds horizontal rectangles, the prior art has been unable to achieve sophisticated text layouts. In particular, the prior art does not provide a way to skew or rotate text within a region.
Prior art text layout systems have also been limited to placing text in a single region. Under the prior art there is no means for wrapping a string of text across multiple regions with a single function call.
Embodiments of the present invention display text within a region by identifying text boxes within the region. To identify the text boxes, these embodiments use scan lines that are spaced at intervals that are smaller than the text height of the text to be placed in the boxes. These scan lines are combined to identify the full text boxes.
In other embodiments of the invention, a region is transformed before text boxes are generated for the region. The transform is an inverse of a text transform that is applied to the text placed in the region. This allows rotated and skewed text to be placed in the region.
In other embodiments of the invention, a single text string is displayed across several disjointed regions.
With reference to
Although the exemplary environment described herein employs the hard disk, the removable magnetic disk 29 and the removable optical disk 31, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of computer readable media which can store data that is accessible by a computer, such as magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, random access memories (RAMs), read only memory (ROM), and the like, may also be used in the exemplary operating environment.
A number of program modules may be stored on the hard disk, magnetic disk 29, optical disk 31, ROM 24 or RAM 25, including an operating system 35, one or more application programs 36, other program modules 37, and program data 38. A user may enter commands and information into the personal computer 20 through local input devices such as a keyboard 40, pointing device 42 and a microphone 43. Other input devices (not shown) may include a joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 21 through a serial port interface 46 that is coupled to the system bus 23, but may be connected by other interfaces, such as a sound card, a parallel port, a game port or a universal serial bus (USB).

Under embodiments of the present invention, a method and apparatus are provided that reduce the chances that the perimeter of a region will intersect text appearing in the region. Other embodiments of the invention permit text to be transformed by rotating or skewing the text within a region. Still further embodiments of the invention allow a single string of text to be written across several different regions. Each of these aspects is discussed further below.
Examples of regions in which text can be inserted under embodiments of the present invention are shown in
At step 252, arithmetic expressions that describe the region are transformed. Specifically, the region is transformed using the inverse of a text transform that is to be applied to the region's text. For example, if the text is to appear rotated and skewed in the region, as shown in
The inverse text transform is performed to allow text boxes to be generated for text that is to appear rotated or skewed in the region while using a standard Application Program Interface (API) that is designed to only build horizontal text boxes. In operating systems such as Windows� 95, Windows� 98, Windows� 2000, Windows� CE and Windows� NT from Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Wash., this API is known as GetRegionData, which is described in detail in the Microsoft Software Developers Network, published July 1998 by Microsoft Corporation.
After the inverse text transform is performed on the region, the transformed arithmetic expressions that describe the region are transformed again at step 254 using a scaling equation:
where x′ and y′ are the scaled versions of the expressions that describe the x and y coordinates of the perimeter of the region, n is a granularity value, and Δh is the height of the text to be inserted in the region.
The transform of equation 1 is performed to set the scan interval used to generate a set of rectangles within the region. Specifically, when the GetRegionData API is used to build the text boxes, the API scans the region passed to it at fixed intervals along the y-coordinate. As such, if the height of the region is scaled down, the relative space between scans increases. Thus, by dividing the region's y-coordinate by the height of the text, Δh, equation 1 causes the scans to occur at locations along the region that were separated by a distance of Δh before the scaling transform was performed. Examples of the scan lines that would be produced along a scaled down region 300 are shown as scan lines 302, 304, and 306 in
The value Δh is selected because used alone it causes GetRegionData to return a set of rectangles that can accommodate the text to be written to the region. For example, if a region were passed to GetRegionData after being scaled down by Δh, GetRegionData would return a set of rectangles like rectangle 308 of
Under many embodiments of the present invention, the granularity factor, n, is added to the scaling function so that multiple scans are performed for each text box. Examples of these additional scans are shown as scans 310, 312, and 314 of
After the scaling transform has been applied to the region at step 254 of
Once the rectangles have been returned by GetRegionData, the process continues at step 258 where rectangles within each span of Δh are combined using a logical AND operation. This operation forms one or more rectangles for each text line that is to be written to the region.
In one embodiment, this AND operation is performed sequentially by combining two lines of rectangles to form one result, then combining the result with the next line of rectangles to form a new result. Each result is a new set of rectangles that represent the areas where the rectangles of the two lines overlap. The process of combining the latest result with the next line continues until all of the lines have been combined.
The AND operation may be implemented by collecting the left and right coordinates of each rectangle in the two lines under consideration. These coordinates are then ordered from least to greatest. Within this ordered list, a left coordinate followed by a right coordinate represents a rectangle that results from the AND operation. Thus, selecting each such left, right pair in the list produces the rectangle for the AND operation. Under such an embodiment, the coordinates for all of the lines in the text height interval can be considered at one time by including all of the rectangle coordinates in the ordered list.
After the text boxes have been generated at step 258, the text boxes of the topmost text line in the region are selected at step 260 and passed to a function that fills the text box with a portion of the text string at step 262. Since each text box has a limited width, not all of the text string may fit in the text boxes of the current text line. In most embodiments, the text boxes are filled such that words are not divided between two separate text boxes or if a word is divided between two text boxes it is divided along a syllable break in the word and a hyphen is added to indicate the word break. Such word breaking is well known in the art.
After placing the text in the text box, the text is transformed to produce the desired graphic effect. For example, the text may be rotated and skewed through the transform. The result of such a transform is shown in
After filling the text boxes of the current text line with as many characters as possible from the text string and transforming the text, the fill function returns the number of words or characters that were entered in the text boxes. This number is then subtracted from the total number of words or characters of the text string that were yet to be written to text boxes before step 262. If the result of this subtraction is zero at step 264, all of the text string has been written to the region and the process ends at step 266. If the subtraction produces a number greater than zero, the new number is set as the number of words or characters that still need to be written to the region.
The process then continues at step 268 where the process determines if there are any more text lines in the current region. Under most embodiments of the invention, the total number of text lines in the region is equal to the total number of lines returned by GetDataRegion divided by n. If there is another text line in the current region, the text boxes of the next text line are selected at step 270 and the process returns to step 262 where the new text boxes are filled with text from the text string.
If there are no more text lines in the current region at step 268, the process continues at step 272 where it determines if there are more regions in the list of regions. If there are no more regions, the process ends at step 274. If there is another region in the list of regions, the next region in the list is selected at step 276 and the process returns to step 252 where the new region is scaled.
When a window is redefined on a display, the regions within the window may also be redefined. Under one embodiment of the invention, when a region containing text is redefined, new text boxes are determined for the newly defined region using the techniques described above. The text is then written into the new text boxes. Since the text boxes are likely to have changed when the region changed, the layout of the text within the new region is usually different than the layout of the text in the old region.
Once it has defined the regions, application 700 passes a list of the regions along with a text string to DrawStringInRegions API 714. In one embodiment, this is done by making the function call "DrawStringInRegions(s, f, b, rgn, RgnCount, format, m)" where s is a string object that contains the text to be placed in the regions, f is a font object that contains the font of the text to be written, b is a brush object that defines the fill characteristics for the text, rgn is a list object that contains an ordered list of regions where the text is to be written, rgncount is the number of regions in the region list, format is an object that describes the location and orientation of the text within each text box, and m is a matrix object that contains the text transform for the text in the region.
Using the method described in
The region and the text written into the region are stored by GDI 702 in a world memory 720. When application 700 sets the view to include a region, GDI 702 accesses the region's display values in world memory 720 and passes the values to a display memory 722, which is accessed by a display driver 724. Display driver 724 converts the display values in display memory 720 so that they are appropriate for a display 726 and then passes the converted values to display 726. The values are then displayed by display 726.
Although the description above has made reference to displaying English language text, the invention is not limited to displaying such text. In particular, languages that are written in a sequence of symbols collected in vertical columns may be displayed using the present invention by properly adjusting the format and transform of the characters.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to particular embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

The Rowley family, at Lake Hawea Station, recently hosted
celebrity chef Sean Connolly, who filmed an episode of his
latest television show, On the Grill, at the property.
The series explores the best produce New Zealand has to
offer, as Connolly sources ingredients for his restaurant,
the Grill, at Auckland's Sky City.
The episode featuring the Rowleys is scheduled to air on TV3
on November 24 at 7pm. It will promote Silere alpine origin
merino, a premium meat brand launched last year through a
joint venture between the New Zealand Merino Company and
Silver Fern Farms.
Lake Hawea Station owner Tom Rowley said his family had
always preferred the taste of merino over other lamb and were
proud to be part of the Silere merino programme.
Connolly called Silere merino the "Rolls-Royce of lamb" after
trialling it during the Rugby World Cup.
He has since featured it at exclusive international events
and on the Grill menu.

Vt. lawmakers give in on tax changesMay 13,2013The Associated Press
MONTPELIER— Vermont lawmakers say they're giving up their effort this year to make the state's income tax more progressive.
The move came after Gov. Peter Shumlin insisted he wanted no changes.
Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell says lawmakers had been pushing for capping the home mortgage interest deduction and making other changes designed to get more revenue from high-income taxpayers and less from middle- and lower-income Vermonters.
Lawmakers have been maintaining that the changes are revenue neutral, but Shumlin says his aides' calculation show they would raise millions of new dollars.
Campbell says lawmakers will take up the issue when they come back in January.
Meanwhile, he says he's still hopeful they can wrap up their business for 2013 by Tuesday evening.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

An Indian judge on Friday sentenced to death four men convicted of the fatal gang rape of a student on a New Delhi bus last December, fulfilling the last wish of the 23-year-old victim.
Crowds of onlookers outside the packed courtroom burst into applause after Judge Yogesh Khanna announced his sentence during a short hearing that began at 02:30 pm (0900 GMT).
The defendants -- lowly paid migrants to New Delhi, mostly in their 20s -- had tears in their eyes and one of them, gym assistant Vinay Sharma, cried loudly as he was led away by police.
"Judge sahib (master), show some mercy!" he shouted.
Ending a seven-month trial in a fast-track court, Khanna said that the case, which sparked widespread anger against the treatment of women in India, fell into the "rarest of rare category" which justified capital punishment.
"In these times when crimes against women are on the rise, courts cannot turn a blind eye to this gruesome act," he announced, adding in his written statement that the "ghastly" crime had "shocked the collective conscience".
Signing his judgement, he broke the nib of his pen -- a custom of judges to convey their hope that such extreme punishments will not be necessary in the future.
The mother of the victim told reporters she was delighted the men had been ordered to hang after their convictions on Tuesday for murder, gang rape, theft, conspiracy and "unnatural acts".
"We are happy that in the end we got justice. My daughter wanted them to be given the death sentence," she told reporters, wearing a green saree and flanked by her husband and sons.
There has been a huge clamour for the four -- Sharma, Akshay Thakur, Pawan Gupta, and Mukesh Singh -- to be executed for their attack on the physiotherapy student and her male companion on December 16.
The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, died of grievous internal injuries on December 29 after being lured on to the private bus by the gang following a cinema trip with her companion.
After beating up the friend, the gang brutally assaulted her behind tinted windows for 45 minutes before flinging the bloodied and barely conscious couple onto a road leading to New Delhi's international airport.
Her injuries were so severe that she died nearly a fortnight later in a Singapore hospital. She had only briefly regained consciousness, telling family and friends of her desire to see her attackers burn to death.
"It was an inhuman act which has shamed all humanity. The message is that if you commit such a crime, you will get such punishment," Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde told a news conference afterwards.
Special prosecutor Dayan Krishnan said he had never before heard of such brutality, which saw the victim penetrated with an iron bar, and wished that the sentence "will instill some confidence in society."
The men will now be taken to the capital's high-security Tihar Jail where they will be placed on death row.
India had an unofficial eight-year moratorium on capital punishment until last November, when the only surviving gunman from the 2008 Mumbai attacks was executed. Weeks later, a Kashmiri was hanged over his role in an attack on parliament a decade ago.
Lawyers for the men have already said they will appeal the convictions in the Delhi High Court, which will spell years of argument and delays in India's notoriously slow legal system.
"This is injustice! This is not fair!" defence lawyer A.P. Singh shouted after the sentence was read out.
The gang's relatives had also pleaded for their lives to be spared. Thakur's mother Malti Devi broke down in front of reporters at the family's home in the eastern state of Bihar.
"Why is such a young life being snuffed out in this manner?" she asked reporters, weeping.
In appeal, the defence is likely to advocate lesser sentences for some of the gang, and argue the attack was a "spur of the moment" crime and not premeditated.
Police in riot gear maintained a heavy presence outside the court on Friday with the road leading up to the complex barricaded off.
There was widespread anger after a juvenile who was convicted last month for his role in the attack was sentenced to just three years in a correctional facility -- the maximum allowed by law, given his age.
A sixth suspect in the case, bus driver Ram Singh, died in prison in March in an apparent suicide.
"This sentence brings back hope to women and to parents like me, who fear for their daughters' lives in this country," said 42-year-old housewife Usha Jain, who stood waiting outside the court for news on Friday.
Human rights groups warned that the death penalty was no solution.
"Sending these four men to the gallows will accomplish nothing except short-term revenge," commented Tara Rao, head of Amnesty International in India, in a statement.
"There is no evidence that the death penalty is a particular deterrent to crime, and its use will not eradicate violence against women in India."
