Closing the Gap between the Multi-Channel and the Stereo Audio World: Recent MP3 Surround Extensions
After more than 10 years of commercial availability, MP3 continues to be the most utilized format for compressed audio. New technologies extend the use from stereo to multichannel. Presented in 2004, the MP3 Surround format allows to represent high-quality 5.1 surround sound at bitrates so far used for stereo signals while remaining compatible with any MP3 playback device. Recently, add-on technologies complemented the usability of MP3 Surround: The capability of spatializating stereo content into MP3 Surround files provides listener envelopment also for the reproduction of legacy stereo content. Improved spatial reproduction is offered by the auralized reproduction of MP3 Surround via regular stereo headphones. This paper describes the underlying concepts and the interworking of the technology components.

messages on the moonthe moon had been full yesterday:thumb296052643:
and she looked up at it
nestled behind some trees
with clouds draping diaphanous
patterns across it
like lace
and she wondered just how many people
had sent love notes on
the moon
for their lovers to collect at a later date.
it swelled with the beating of
a million hearts
and glowed with the love
of a million eyes
and as she stood there,
staring up at it,
with the night breeze twisting
around her ankles,
she sent a message to someone she hadn't
met yet
and hoped that
he was standing alone in the night
staring up at the sky
Perhaps people laughi.
Perhaps people laugh,
standing under broken things.
(Perhaps gravity is an affliction,
someone once told me that a man could
have wings, but
I only saw an equation.)
Maybe, your faith is misplaced?
perhaps God knows,
perhaps God knows.
Perhaps feeling is a number;
Perhaps the world is made of parallel lines
Perhaps our degrees are just
Tangents of my value over yours
Perhaps our feelings cannot be deduced
Through words but only through numbers;
You're a fraction and I'm the whole,
But to you I'm only a decimal.
Perhaps people laugh, under
dissociating skies;
Perhaps, through tears,
God laughs along too.
(there was a nebula collision,
but our instruments shorted out. We could only
watch the faint, pulsing light from the dust
as it crept into our depths.
for the first time
there were no viewfinders.)
Perhaps there are angels.
Maybe there is comfort in knowing that
if no axiom exists,
then God must exist too.

ConfessionLips met in clumsy haiku,
against each other, pressed,
the way the earth touches the sky,
soft and whimsy as the dusk.
Tongues painted passion-
sunset colors,
halcyon atmosphere, infused,
-upon every awaiting space offered.
Metaphors dotted the hallows of limbs and tasted like the seasons-
a bursting and vibrant spring,
a hot and passionate summer,
an adventurous and teasing autumn,
a cozy and comfortable winter,
-all at once.
Skin smelled like Frangipani, an offering-
blossoming with intensity as the sun draped itself in twilight's shawl,
-and felt like a brick wall crumbl
Soak My Feet In WineWhen the sun and the earth were in love, ever young
I was born on a full moon with silver clarity
I'm that woman who sleeps on olive groves
Who makes angels fall in love with men's daughters
And lets herself be tricked by your sweet spells
Who obeys the very impulse of her heart
Do you know who I am, where I came from ?
I live where stars grow bigger on a light breeze
Where butterflies were once flowers
Where God blessed my garden in Eden with peace
There, I lay on a cloud softer than foam
When the day splits into two halves, you see me
My steps are as light as those of a chamois
My hair running wild; wings of an evil crow
My mouth has the roundness of a precious ring
Cheeks, two fields of roses blooming again
Under my feet grow trees, and remain ever green
You need my palms, you seek my blood and fear
Before you crave for more, grant me what I wish for
Kiss the ground before me, show me your loyalty
Borrow the devil's wings, bring me bouquets of stars
I want that purple flo
the hanged manThis little red book you call the human body:
take it up and shake it. Shake the flaking pages
out of it, shake it from endpaper to endpaper
until the last of the phrases are gone; shake it
until it's aching and empty, the soul of a bird.
I will give you new words.
The SculptorBefore he would have harvested a tree,:thumb302431402: :thumb209447748:
hacked off its limbs,
skinned it,
torn it from the earth,
shaved one by one its cells - its outer core,
until it was what he believed it was,
no more a tree.
Wiser, he walks deep in to the wood,
underneath a forest giant he stops,
looks up in to the leafy branches, sighs,
climbs and sheds his tears upon its boughs.
The Sistersi
Two sisters sat on the edge of a cliff
and one was old, and one was young
and their mother was not yet born.
They watched the sea below their feet.
The waves chewed at the rocks
as they had built the cliff through ages,
and green weeds flowed with the tide
like the sisters' hair on the wind.
The sisters sat for many hours,
their fingers twined with strands of yellow grass,
their eyes like chips of ocean glass,
fixed on the far horizon.
Without a word, they sang to each other
and rivalled and warred in silence
as siblings do
without a real reason to fight.
And the grass became a violin
beneath the elder's hands.
Her pizzicato challenge lost itself
somewhere between Dover and Calais.
The younger never heard it,
trapped as she was in a book
of her own invention
with half a reality against its spine.
So they stayed, forevers in the hours,
inside an opal fog, so thick they could see everything
except one another,
but no eyes were needed for that.
Two sisters sat on the edge of a
there is a story
about a girl
who throws herself down the stairs, because her
baby's father is her father and she can't have her sibling
also her kid.
it ends
with her becoming a harlot
that the world can fondle
when ever it pleases.
there is a story of a girl
who sits in the clinic, waiting
to be probed by the doctor
and carved out like a turkey
by the assistants.
she is thinking that
the world has always disliked killing babies
even though
they have made it simpler.
it ends with her
leaving empty.
flameslost loves
we call them flames because we burned
we were oxygen
we were fuel
and when the fuel was gone
we were ashes floating
rain took us down to earth
mushed remains together
and when the sun returned
the dry remains
piled into something that had never been
alone as something new
flotsamwe crash seafoam
when my bones are driftwood,
i dive for pearls in your hair,
lose my breath and realize that
i don't need it;
your sighs suffice to fill my canvas lungs.
our bodies carve castles in the sand.
("you've practiced," you whisper.
"tongues in tidepools have taught you to love.")
the moon swells the waves.
your kneecaps remind me of
dolphin noses,
your fingertips are hermit crabs
that scuttle on my skin.
(we howl like seaside wolves, and then)
when morning comes i can't help but see the way you
sprawl like yawning waves in the early morning tide.
you are a shipwreck.
between sailor's-knotted sheets
we sweat the ocean,
you, a siren,
i, odysseus chained.
The DoctorWhen I was seven, I was diagnosed with emotions.
"Poor girl." I heard them say. "She'll never survive this one."
I laid with my face towards the ceiling on the cold examination table, listening to them discuss my fate. I felt something breaking in my chest and something burning inside my throat. A small tear slipped down my cheek.
"Doctor! Look at this!" Shrieked my mother, "Something is coming out of her eye."
The doctor rushed over to me and wiped the tear from my cheek. He touched the top of my head as he whispered, "I am so sorry." And then he turned to my mother. "It's a tear. It means that she is sad."
"Sad?" My mother asked inquisitively.
"It's one of her emotions. This doesn't attack the same way that normal diseases do, there are all sorts of different symptoms. Right now, she is sad and the only way that I know how to explain it is that she is feeling down."
"What do you mean by down?"
"Her emotions can best be described as ones that are upwhen she is feeling good, and
YouLet us pause for a moment, and think of 'you'. It is an important word, is it not? As a pronoun it indicates social interaction, a conversation. To be 'I' or 'he' or 'she' or 'they' is to be isolated, lonely, separate from the group. To be 'we' is to be only part of a whole. But you are addressed by another, and as 'you', you become someone, a verified person and a separate being. As 'you', your existence is recognised by another. You are part of someone else's world.
human hibernation.i wish i could say it rained the day we gave you back to the earth, that even the heavens were crying for you. it didn't though. it was 28 degrees and our black coats of grief were heavy in so many ways. it felt unfair, and i wasn't ready to let you go just yet, if i could have put myself in the wretched box i would have in a heartbeat. the cliches were in full force that day, and i didn't care for a minute. all i knew is the earth, or god, or whoever took you from me better be grateful to have you back.
there was something in my stomach that day, a knot, a twist, something that felt wrong and out of place from the second i opened my eyes that morning. my boots were heavier than usual, and i just couldn't shake this shadow that seemed to be following me. my mind sorted through the usual excuses; is the oven off? did i lock the cat in accidentally? oh shit, the garbage that must be it.
i wish now it was just the cat inside the house, the worst thing i would have had to deal with then wa
Dear StrangerDear Stranger,
I hope you are reading this letter before you have gone outside. I imagine you will have a few questions on your mind when you see how things are out there. Luckily, you happen to have this conveniently placed "doggy-door" through which I have slipped the letter you now hold in your hands.
First, I would like to apologize for the state of your mailbox. By this point I imagine you have ventured outside and seen a few things worth the raising of an eyebrow or two and I assure you, all will be explained. The mailbox. I am deeply sorry for the condition it is in. You may notice that the box itself is hanging askew, the flag seems to have disappeared(I searched high and low, I promise.), and the post seems to be broken in several places though I have done my best to repair it with duct tape. It might also be worth mentioning that it has been moved several feet to the left.
You see I was driving home late last night from work (They have me working another man's shift while
One ChanceElliot is four. He watches his grandfather breathe out cigarette smoke in his creaking armchair. The living room is small enough to be heated by the portable radiator near his grandfather's slippers. When the old man realises his grandson waits for him, he begins.
"This is a ruined world, son. Diseased with hatred and war before you were born." He takes a drag on his cigarette and Elliot breathes in the coming smoke. "This world is dead, but I know there's another. We could go to it if we only knew the way." Elliot's grandfather smiles at his thoughts. "There's another place put aside for us. I'll find the door one day."
The radiator splutters to its death and the old man curses his misfortune.
Elliot is ten. His hair is in a ponytail because that's how his brother wears it and his big brother's the best. Nick Ward and his friends from the year above don't think so.
They grab Elliot as soon as he leaves the cubicle in the little boy's room and pushes him face first into a wall, holding
The Waste WorldShe said create the world, so I did. I made it dark and dusty, coughed up from my own black lungs. I gave the trees an ashen hue and the ground a color to match the starless sky. The creatures were murmuring oozes, globs of drying acrylic that inked across the orb of my bubbling imagination.
Repulsing, it was in fact the product of an industrial mind. I was born from man's smog goddess and, if memory serves me, her breath was laced in exhaust which I inhaled nightly with her songs. She was soothing and complacent, her voice smokey like a hazy bar. No one could deny her features were hideous beyond belief. Her skin dripped pollution like morphine into veins, into deep red rivers to turn them ebony and clogged. Her eyes glistened obsidian, sharp and cold if you didn't know her at all. I knew she was lost and ashamed, as her mother, my grandmother, would often remind her of the destruction her presence caused. I loved her like grandmother nature never could.
Grandmother was ,indeed, a gra
i find myself talking to you when youre not aroundand that's what's wrong with you. clarity is gone for me and you are the most unrealistic thing i know. somehow i think to myself that i'm nothing to you and the bones in me crease a little, cringing, waiting to break.
my torture is more private: i lie in bed with a dark piece of glass tilting in my fingers. like a broken beer bottle shard, only it's a prettier green and looks positively oceanic. the whole room glimmers with warm splotches of blue-green light from this glass on my palm and i feel that i am the churning center of some incredibly small moving world.
you bite the inside of my thighs. crescendoes of laughter reach my ears, headlights pass through the windows and scan the parking lot listlessly. the light shines sadly over our naked forms, inquisitive flight of white translucence. my eyes are open, staring over you, staring at nothing. you kiss my lifeless
mouth, swollen and dark. what comes now is silence. waiting for someone to love you again must be a te
innocent[dear december]
my neighbor lights cigarettes, stands on her porch and smokes them as the dawn spreads, pearly grey and simple, over us. the embers are a small sun, burning in the stratosphere of her interwoven fingers, and i wonder if she likes the bitter taste, the sensation of smoke staining her lungs black.
you carry the scent of it down the road to me, wrapped around your fingers like ribbons. it reminds me of my great-grandfather, a man who smoked cloves every sunday after church. the last memory i have of him is the chirstmas service, his head haloed by the weak winter sun, smoke trailing from his lips.
his skin was beautiful and delicate, fanning his eyes, showing the dusky threads of his veins. he touched my temple with slightly trembling fingers and whispered an irish blessing.
i don't believe in god anymore, but i remember the way his faith felt. i remember the way his words curled in the air on the plume of his breath, physical proof that he loved me.

A truck driver has been rescued with the assistance of rafts
and kayaks after plunging in to the Buller River.
The un-laden logging truck crashed off State Highway 6 and in

Ms Dunn said the driver was trapped in the cab in a metre of
''There are rafting and kayaking operations in the area and
they have been assisting with a rescue," she said.
Police, fire service and a rescue helicopter were at the
scene, and when the driver reached shore he would be taken to
hospital, Ms Dunn said.

Amplitude and Frequency Modulation Distortions of a Loudspeaker
The measurement techniques and the causes of amplitude and frequency modulation distortions are discussed using a two-way coaxial-type loudspeaker system. The distortion due to amplitude modulation is caused by the dependence of the radiation efficiency of the high-frequency driver on the displacement of the diaphragm of the low-frequency driver. The distortion due to frequency modulation seems to be produced when the high-frequency sound has a nonzero particle velocity in the axis direction at the surface of the low-frequency driver diaphragm. The symmetry of the sidebands of the summed modulation distortion (intermodulation distortion) indicates that the amplitude and frequency modulation distortions are 90° out of phase with each other.

This study presents empirical data on regeneration and growth of understory trees and constructs simple models for predicting these characteristics at various stand structure and post-thinning standing volume levels. The field experiment was established on a grass/herb mineral soil site in central Finland. Regeneration and understory tree growth data were collected from 24 Norway spruce (Picea abies L.)-dominated mixed substands. Seedlings with heights from 5 to 130 cm were measured in 1996 and 2007. In addition, the annual height growth of Norway spruce seedlings was measured in 2007. The spatial pattern of the substands varied from clustered to regular with a decreasing standing volume. Stand complexity was uniform across the range of standing volume. In the 2007 survey, the amount of Norway spruce regeneration increased from approximately 400 to 5,000 seedlings ha−1 when the post-thinning standing volume level was reduced from 230 to 90 m3 ha−1, respectively. Nearly no seedlings were found when the standing volume was over 300 m3 ha−1. The annual diameter increment in Norway spruce understory (dbh < 5 cm) trees decreased, on the average, from 2.3 to 0.3 mm with an increase in the standing volume level from 90 to 340 m3 ha−1, respectively; their height growth showed also a decreasing trend when the standing volume increased. The results indicated that a post-thinning standing volume lower than 150 m3 ha−1 with a regular overstory spatial structure provides a suitable environment for regeneration and growth of Norway spruce understory trees in the studied forest type.

Birefringence control by hydrogen bonding on compatible polymer pair composed of hydrogenated ring-opening polymer and modified polystyrene
Correspondence to: M. Okaniwa ( E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com)
A new polymer blend composed of a hydrogenated ring-opening polymer (HROP) with an ester group and hydroxyl functionalized polystyrene (HFP) produced the excellent transparent materials which enabled a precise birefringence control in keeping with the other physical properties for optical film use. The blend with a composition from 0.28 to 0.35 for the HFP weight fraction showed an extraordinary wavelength dispersion, transmitting through a zero birefringence point at the critical fraction of 0.45, while each polymer showed an ordinary wavelength dispersion. The observed excellent transparency even above those of the glass transition temperature was attributed to a depressed phase separation that resulted from strong hydrogen bond between the ester and hydroxyl groups. An IR analysis of the film demonstrated a remarkable red-shift in the carbonyl peak with an increase of the hydroxylated polystyrene content, indicating a strong hydrogen bond between those groups. This new polymer blend provides a useful design to achieve practical demands for film use, both optical and mechanical under the fabrication conditions using the melt extrusion technique. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Galloway Boys street gang member Nahom "Gifted" Tsegazab has pleaded guilty to 2 counts of manslaughter and 6 counts of aggravated assault in connection with the Danzig Street barbeque shooting 2 summers ago.
Tsegazab was hosting the evening block party when the shots rang out.
He had been up against 2 counts of second-degree murder, one count of attempted murder and 22 counts of aggravated assault.
14-year old Shyanne Charles and 23-year old Joshua Yasay were killed in the shootout and 23 others were hurt.
The incident is considered to be the worst mass shooting in Toronto's history. Tsegazab was only 19 when he was arrested.
He's been sentenced to 14 years in prison, less time served, which works out to 11 years and 5 months in jail.

Good music does something to you
Published: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 at 11:21 a.m.
I remember when it happened.
It was a Tuesday morning in late December 2004.
Just two songs in, I had completely made up my mind that John Legends debut CD, "Get Lifted," would be a classic.
The CD is up for eight Grammies at next weeks awards ceremony.
Told you so.
I fell in love with Floetry, Jill Scott and Anthony Hamilton the same way, too.
Its an enchanted feeling to discover music that speaks to your soul. When you can relate to artists lyrics so intimately that you feel as if some songs were lifted from the pages of your journal.
Vivian Greens self-titled album did that to me. We first met on a Tuesday morning.
Good music just does something to you. It can add a smile to a dreary day. Put some pep in your step or afford you the space to dwell in sweet melancholy.
I dont thank God its Friday or exhale on hump day.
Tuesdays do it for me.
Thats the day I reserve for purchasing new music.
Its when fresh batches of CDs hit the stores. Every now and then, a musician will get cute and choose a different day to drop their latest effort, but most conform to the third day of the week.
All hail new-music Tuesdays.
Ideally, Ill buy whatever CD Ive been eyeing first thing in the morning or at the very latest on my lunch break, which has to be taken as soon as possible -- "Is 10 a.m. OK?"
If I have to wait any longer, Im a mess. Its a must that I be the first among my CD cronies to give a report detailing what tracks are skippable, which need to be repeated and whose CD plain just isnt worth it.
I love to be able to say: "Got it" or "Heard it already."
CD shopping is a calculated activity not to be taken lightly.
I comb the Sunday circulars in pursuit of the best deal. Sometime during the week I surf the Web prowling for new releases.
Then I map out my purchase route. This can involve trips to multiple stores or a single stop.
Being able to gloat about acquiring the latest CDs as soon as they come out isnt the only reason for my fixation with new-music Tuesdays.
This method saves me money. Im sharing a trade secret here: CDs are usually the cheapest during their release week.
I think reduced prices are a ploy by record companies to boost first-week sales. Industry executives often point at first-week album sales as an indication of the overall success of a project.
Im not griping, either. Im reaping the benefits.
Besides being a zealous music enthusiast and self-appointed critic, I have no link to the music industry.
Im no singer, though I do confess to singing very loudly, and badly I might add, along with the car radio. I dont play any musical instruments, although I gave the clarinet a go in fifth grade.
But I do propose the perfect mix CD -- a little bit of disco, a little bit of country, a little bit of rock ën roll and a whole lot of hip hop.
Id take Carlos Santanas "Smooth" and then add Ciaras "Goodies," the Bee Gees "Staying Alive," Lynyrd Skynyrds "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Dont Cha" by the Pussycat Dolls.
And how could I forget Jay-Zs "Just Wanna Love You (Give It To Me)," Master Ps "Makeem Say Ugh," Nas "Hate Me Now," Mazes "Happy Feelings" and, to channel my inner rock star, Queens "Another One Bites the Dust."
There you have it, a CD Id rush out to buy as soon as it came out, especially if it were on a Tuesday.

Defiance patch in the works on all formats
Defiance launched earlier this week on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 but not without some issues.
A patch is in the works to address annoyances such as client and server crashes, connection issues, game lag, vanishing items, and a barely functioning chat system. Not all issues are present on all formats, some have issues which do not appear on another.
The game's executive producer Nathan Richardsson has taken to the community page on the game's website to list what is being worked on at the moment – at present there are "eight pages of patch notes listing fixes and improvements."
Don't expect the large update to roll out until April 15 at least.
Thanks, TenTonHammer.

Farm owner pleads guilty to forced labour charge
A farm owner has pleaded guilty to forcing a vulnerable man to work for him for more than 13 years.
David Daniel Doran, 42, has been on trial at Cardiff Crown Court for the past three weeks on a compulsory labour charge alongside his father Dan Doran, 67.
But today Doran junior changed his plea - resulting in the prosecution dropping the case against the elder defendant.
The court has previously heard that missing Kidderminster man Darrell Simester was found in an "appalling" state on Cariad Farm near Newport, last year.
The former warehouse worker said he worked 15-hour days without pay and was made to live in a rat-infested shed for a decade.
His parents Jean and Tony said their 44-year-old son looked more like a man in his nineties and later found he had a massive hernia protruding from his groin.

Guilty plea gives 'no satisfaction' to Shropshire teen's family
Giving their initial reaction to Jamie Reynolds' guilty plea, the family of Georgia Williams family have released the following brief statement:
"The pain we feel is as raw now as it was when our beautiful Georgia was taken from us back in May.
"We will never ever be able to make any sense of what happened, or why it happened to a young woman as caring, kind and generous as our Georgia.
"Today's guilty plea gives us no satisfaction at all; we do not and will never understand the heartbreaking events of earlier this year that changed our lives forever."
Man pleads guilty to murder of Georgia Williams
Superintendent Adrian McGee has given his reaction after 22-year-old Jamie Reynolds pleaded guilty to the murder of 17-year-old Georgia Williams at Stafford Crown Court earlier today.
Georgia Williams was murdered at Reynolds' home address on Avondale Road on Sunday 26 May 2013 and having pleaded guilty to the murder, Reynolds is now likely to be sentenced later this month.
Speaking outside the court having heard the guilty plea, Supt McGee – who was one of the senior investigating officers in this case - said:
"It is important that Mr Reynolds pleaded guilty today as this at least saves Georgia's family the further trauma of a full trial. We know the plea does nothing to ease their pain but hopefully it will help them begin to move forward with their lives once sentence is passed.
"The Williams family have been incredibly dignified and understanding throughout our investigation and I cannot praise them highly enough.
"This was a hugely challenging and unusual case for the police officers and staff involved and I'd like to thank everyone who has played a part in helping the investigation reach this point.
"I'd particularly like to thank all the witnesses who came forward with information to assist our investigation, while I'd also like to thank the media for their help in publicising our appeals and helping us find Georgia and return her to her family.
"At the present time we do not wish to make further comment until sentencing takes place later in the month."

TOKYO -- Two members of the Japan Series-winning Chiba Lotte Marines say they want to play in the major leagues next season.
Shortstop Tsuyoshi Nishioka said on Wednesday he intends to move to Major League Baseball via the posting system, while closer Hiroyuki Kobayashi will try to sign as a free agent.
A source told ESPN The Magazine's Tim Kurkjian that Nishioka will be posted this week.
Nishioka won the Pacific League batting title this year with a .346 average. He scored 121 runs, stole 22 bases and had 206 hits. Nishioka, a switch-hitter, batted leadoff for the Marines.
"He is a good player, he is a talented kid," said ESPN analyst Bobby Valentine, who managed Nishioka in Japan. "If he had been a college kid four or five years ago, he would have been a first-round pick. He runs faster than a lot of people. He can get a hit. He can steal a base. He can bunt. He is still developing physically and mentally. And this year, he stayed healthy all year. He has style issues, positive and negative: he likes to be noticed. How he develops will depend on what team signs him."
The Los Angeles Times, citing an unnamed source, reported that the Los Angeles Dodgers are Nishioka's preferred landing spot. However, the newspaper reported that it was unknown if the team had the financial resources to win the bid for Nishioka and then sign him to a contract.
The bidding on a posted player is a blind auction. Teams must pay a posting fee, which goes directly to the Japanese team and only covers the negotiating rights to that player. If the winning team doesn't sign the player within 30 days, the player returns to his original team and no fee is paid. When Daisuke Matsuzaka was posted before the 2007 season, the Red Sox paid $51 million just for the right to negotiate with him.
Nishioka might be an attractive free agent for major league teams in a year with a weaker-than-normal free-agent class, especially for middle infielders.
Derek Jeter, Juan Uribe, Orlando Cabrera, Edgar Renteria and Cesar Izturis are the top free-agent shortstops. Orlando Hudson, Jerry Hairston Jr., Nick Punto, Felipe Lopez, David Eckstein and Cristian Guzman are also eligible for free agency.
Nishioka can play either shortstop or second base. He played second in the World Baseball Classic in 2006 and 2009, as well as the Beijing Olympics when he hit .455.
Kobayashi, 32, had a 2.21 ERA with 29 saves.
Information from ESPN The Magazine's Tim Kurkjian and The Associated Press was used in this report.

Braemar First-Half Profit Falls 32% Because of Ship Surplus
Braemar Shipping Services Plc, the U.K.'s second-largest publicly traded shipbroker, said first-half profit fell 32 percent because of a surplus of vessels that weighed on rates.
Net income dropped to 3.56 million pounds ($5.7 million), or 17.26 pence a share, in the six months through August from 5.26 million pounds, or 25.51 pence, a year earlier, the London-based company said today in a statement. Sales slid 9 percent to 61.5 million pounds, led by a 25 percent decline for shipbroking, the main revenue generator.
Capesize vessels, the largest iron-ore carriers, on average earned $12,906 a day so far this year, down almost two-thirds from the figure for all of 2010, data compiled by Bloomberg shows. Average daily returns for the biggest crude-oil tankers plying the benchmark Saudi Arabia-to-Japan route plunged by three-quarters to $7,867.
"The delivery of new tonnage has, in most sectors, far outweighed the growth in demand and driven down freight rates," Braemar said. Deliveries of new vessels this year will come to about 80 million metric tons, against 30 million tons scrapped, it said.
The shipbroker closed its desk for trading oil-tanker freight derivatives at the end of September, spokeswoman Debra Munford said by phone Oct. 11.
Braemar maintained its first-half dividend at 9 pence a share.

The odometry information used in mobile robot localization can contain a significant number of errors when robot experiences slippage. To offset the presence of these errors, the use of a low-cost gyroscope in conjunction with Kalman filtering methods has been considered by many researchers. However, results from conventional Kalman filtering methods that use a gyroscope with odometry can unfeasible because the parameters are estimated regardless of the physical constraints of the robot. In this paper, a novel constrained Kalman filtering method is proposed that estimates the parameters under the physical constraints using a general constrained optimization technique. The state observability is improved by additional state variables and the accuracy is also improved through the use of a nonapproximated Kalman filter design. Experimental results show that the proposed method effectively offsets the localization error while yielding feasible parameter estimation.

I have a Toshiba Satellite p755-s5260 with the LED backlit keyboard with shortcut keys above the keyboard that are also supposed to light up. The LED's are enabled in the BIOS and work up until Ubuntu boots up. Any suggestions?
Basically use
or use "key touch" Download Here
This can configure ALL your special keys.
I have a toshiba satellite s5265, with the same issues as you and this is how I managed to make my keyboard light up: I booted up a windows install dvd and on the install screen, i pressed the backlight key on top of the keyboard (looks like a square with an arrow inside) just once. When I rebooted, the keyboard backlight stayed on throughout. Hopefully this will help you and others.
I will be ready to answer any questions you have
Don't put any disks in at all. Just press the backlight key on top of the keyboard (looks like a square with an arrow inside) just once. It is above F9. It should work.
My laptop is a Toshiba p745 and I dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows. My keyboard backlight does not work when I boot Ubuntu. However, I can suddenly make it work when I log on to Windows in safe mode and shutdown immediately.

It's strange that 1.3.x and dev seem to be fine, and not 1.4.x. I don't see what is so different in 1.4.x. Any hint? Or might this be simply a build failure on readthedocs?

This may be a problem with readthedocs -- I just rebuilt the docs for 1.3.X, 1.4.X, and latest there and now the TOC doesn't appear on any of them. However, when I build the docs locally (tested master and 1.4.X) the TOC does appear.
comment:4 Changed 4 years ago by aaugustin
I discussed on IRC with the maintainer of ReadTheDocs.
PDFs are generated via LaTeX, which tends to spit interesting but barely usable logs.
He thinks the issue is worth investigating, so let's keep this ticket open.
The fix may be purely on ReadTheDocs' side, and it may require fixes to Django's docs.

It looks like 'django.aux' isn't being generated for the readthedocs build.
I found the following note which may be relevant: "When using \label, you'll have to compile your LaTeX code twice. The first compilation will produce a .aux file that contains all the label information based on your \label commands. The second compilation reads and uses that information to fill out your \ref and \pageref commands."

The pace of economic expansion in Asia and the Pacific has slowed considerably in recent years; with the outlook clouded by uncertainty, growth is expected to plateau at about 5% for both 2016 and 2017. Sluggish exports played a significant role in this slowdown, but so did moderate domestic demand. Worse, a confluence of downside risks could lead to further moderation in the pace of growth.
The Asia-Pacific Countries with Special Needs Development Report 2016 explores ways to adapt the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to the unique circumstances, capacities and levels of development of the Asia-Pacific least developed countries, landlocked developing countries and small island developing States, collectively referred to as countries with special needs (CSN).
This working paper presents the results of a desktop review. It provides an overview of the current state of TVET in the Asia-Pacific region. In it we describe the characteristics that make up national systems of technical and vocational education and training (NSTVET). This includes its policy and funding mechanisms, its responsiveness to the needs of stakeholders and its inclusiveness or otherwise in diverse societies.
This report provides an overview of the various existing and proposed unemployment protection schemes in Asia. These schemes play a key role for women and men of working age by stabilizing their incomes in the event of unemployment.
Developing economies of the Asia-Pacific region grew by an estimated 4.5 per cent in 2015, the lowest rate since 2010, with only a modest rebound to 5 per cent growth projected for 2016. While global trade and China's economy explain much of the recent slowdown, there are also signs of weakening productivity growth in the region. Compared to the past, lower interest rates and exchange rate depreciations have had less noticeable impact on domestic activity and exports. Meanwhile, rapid increases in household and corporate debt in some countries pose risks for financial stability.
The Asia-Pacific Development Journal is published twice a year by the
Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific.
Its primary objective is to provide a medium for the exchange of knowledge,
experience, ideas, information and data on all aspects of economic and social
development in the Asian and Pacific region. The emphasis of the Journal is on the
publication of empirically based, policy-oriented articles in the areas of poverty
alleviation, emerging social issues and managing globalization.
The Asia-Pacific Development Journal (APDJ) is published twice a year by the Macroeconomic Policy and Development Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
The primary objective of the APDJ is to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge, experience, ideas, information and data on all aspects of economic and social development issues and concerns facing the region and to stimulate policy debate and assist in the formulation of policy.
The Financing for Transformation: from agenda to action on sustainable development in Asia and the Pacific publication provides an opportunity for Asia and the Pacific policymakers and stakeholders, such as those from the private sector, academia and civil society organizations, to actively engage with the global negotiations, and to lay out the financing and partnership frameworks for the development agenda beyond 2015 from the regional perspectives.
This discussion paper "Polarizing world: GDP, development and beyond" was prepared for ESCAP by Michael Shashoua and Sudip Ranjan Basu. Michael Shashoua is a PhD fellow at Rice University, USA; and Sudip Ranjan Basu is Economic Affairs Officer, Macroeconomic Policy and Development Division, ESCAP.

I'm in the middle of importing a massive number of posts from one WP site to another which is kinda working, well sort of...
In any case I'm now trying to consolidate the posts under the appropriate category/s and wonder if there is a bulk method for recategorizing categories?
I first tried renaming a category first so that it matched the category of the site I'm importing to but that didn't work (eg 205 Afghanistan posts = 205 new Afghanistan (1,2, etc categories added! )
Deleting the added categories should in theory add them to the default but then I still have to go through every post and change the category anyway!
Any solutions to this would be greatly appreciated as I have over 7000 articles to incorporate.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Darin Ruf appeared to be a favorite to not only be on his first major league Opening Day roster on March 31, but to also be in the lineup as a designated hitter when the Phillies open the season in Arlington against the Rangers. But Ruf will not be able to do either of those things after an MRI on his rib cage yesterday. He is likely to miss the entire first month of the season.
Ruf was diagnosed with a Grade 1/2 left oblique strain and is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, the Phillies announced after yesterday's exhibition game against Boston.

Elektra Falls Most in a Month on MSCI Exit: Mexico City Mover
Grupo Elektra SA, the Mexican retail and banking company controlled by billionaire Ricardo Salinas, plunged the most in a month after MSCI Inc. said it was removing the stock from its indexes.
Elektra tumbled 10.4 percent to 578.90 pesos at the close of trading Mexico City, the most since April 13. After an initial 15 percent decline, the exchange's circuit breaker mechanism halted trading for about 40 minutes starting at 8:47 a.m. The company said in a statement to the Mexican stock exchange that it had nothing to disclose about the movement.
Elektra will be removed from the indexes in a rebalancing effective May 31, according to a statement on MSCI's website dated yesterday. Elektra has tumbled 54 percent since April 11, when a change in index methodology at the Mexican stock exchange spurred speculation it may leave the nation's benchmark gauge, the IPC.
"This situation for Elektra, together with its possible exit from the IPC, has explained its negative performance," said Carlos Gonzalez, an analyst at Monex Casa de Bolsa in Mexico City. "This could surely keep affecting it."
The IPC index of 35 Mexican stocks fell 1.1 percent.
Rule Changes
On April 11, Mexico's stock exchange introduced rule changes preventing shares tied up in derivatives from being counted when considering whether a company's free float is sufficient to meet eligibility for the IPC. That sparked concern that Elektra might leave the index because it has an equity swap that's sapped the availability of its shares. The exchange requires a free float of 12 percent or 10 billion pesos ($724 million) of market value for the tradable shares.
Elektra's float when accounting for derivatives represented about 6 percent of total shares, according to a Jan. 4 report from Citigroup Inc. -- or 8.4 billion pesos worth of shares at current prices.
The equity swap contracts allow Elektra to bet on its stock prices as if it held the shares itself, partially linking the company's earnings to the share price. A decrease in the value of the swap cut 7.08 billion pesos from profit in the first-quarter, dragging it to a net loss of 3.83 billion pesos in the period, the company said in an April 11 report.
Elektra shares declined 13 percent in the first three months of the year.
"The drop in the share price is going to provoke a very significant drop in net income because of the swaps they have," Gerardo Copca, an analyst with Metanalisis SA, said in a telephone interview from Mexico City. "It's all snowballing."
Urbi Desarrollos Urbanos SAB, Mexico's third-largest homebuilder by sales, declined 3.9 percent today after MSCI decided to remove it from its indexes. Coca-Cola Femsa SAB, the bottler whose weighting is being increased in the rebalancing, rose 6.2 percent today.
