NVIDIA to rebrand, update GeForce in winter
NVIDIA today is said to be planning a substantial upgrade to its hardware at the start of 2009 that will also significantly overhaul its years-old naming scheme. A series of video chipsets built on a smaller, 45 nanometer manufacturing process should run faster and cooler than existing 55 nanometer and larger parts.

BMO analyst cuts stock target for Apple
Expectations should be lowered for Apple stock, even though the company is doing well in many regards, argues BMO Capital's Keith Bachman. The analyst has reduced his price target from $190 to $180, citing a "weak economy" that has "started to take a toll on Apple�s systems business." BMO's estimate for September-quarter Mac shipments has shrunk from 2.86 million to 2.71, and in FY09, the firm is predicting shipments of 12 million Macs instead of 12.6. Total revenue expectations for FY09 have been reduced to $40 billion from $40.6.
Dell, HP look to slash R&D costs for 2009
Worldwide economic crises are beginning to have serious impact within PC builders Dell and HP, claims DigiTimes. The publication cites sources inside Taiwanese channel distributors, who say that both companies are looking to cut back on research and development for notebooks, which usually entails testing the performance and endurance of new parts. Because this is also done by the actual manufacturers (ODMs), sources say, Dell and HP believe they can scale back without hurting future products.
MacBook Pro to drop full DVI, FireWire 400?
Apple's anticipated MacBook Pro revision might sacrifice some of its now-traditional ports in the name of space, says a relatively new but allegedly accurate source for AppleInsider. Although Apple has included a full-sized DVI port on every 15-inch or larger notebook since a mid-cycle update to the titanium PowerBook G4, the new model is now claimed to drop this in favor of a smaller port to maximize the use of space in the system. Apple's proprietary Mini DVI adapter is described as most likely, though the company recently introduced a smaller-still alternative known as Micro DVI for the MacBook Air.
Turkey joins list of iPhone launches for Sept. 26
Though having confirmed in mid-August that it would carry the iPhone, Turkcell has only just announced that the phone is to launch in Turkey tomorrow, September 26th. Three pricing options are available with an 18-month contract: at a cost of 75 YTL per month, the small package includes a phone starting at 279 YTL, along with 150 minutes of voice and 150 text messages. Data use is listed as "unlimited," but in fact includes just 100MB of free data in the first month, a 3GB bundle costing extra. The first three months of the bundle are half-price.
NVIDIA teams with MotionDSP to boost video
NVIDIA on Thursday announced it has partnered up with digital video software creator MotionDSP to provide users with a way to enhance the quality of personal videos created by their cellphone cameras, point-and-shoot digicams, camcorders or video captured from the Internet.

Panasonic G1 gets $800 price, HD in spring
Panasonic's Lumix G1 Micro Four Thirds camera will carry the price of a full entry-level DSLR when it launches in the near future, company executive Yasunori Takase says in an interview with Adorama. Although Panasonic has publicly said it would only expand on its launch details next month, Takase now says the camera plus its 14-45mm kit lens will cost nearly $800 in the bundle when they reach US shores. Pricing for the optional 45-200mm lens isn't available.
Mozilla, Apple fix potential graphics exploit
Crash errors in Mozilla's Firefox browser have been fixed with help from Apple, the organization says. Bugs in earlier versions of Firefox 3 were said to have been crashing the software, sometimes generating memory corruption at the same time; Mozilla comments that while no threats have emerged, the potential existed for launching arbitrary code, such as malware. Two of these bugs -- found in the image rendering code -- were discovered by Drew Yao of Apple Product Security.
Apple ponders history, plug-in upgrades for Safari
Newly-published patent applications may point to enhancements in Safari 4 or other versions of Apple's web browser. Originally submitted earlier this year, the filings depict two different browser-based technologies, beginning with the concept of a visual history. Apple notes that most browsers display history as a straight list of pages, something which may be "confusing." The company also comments that relying on forward and back buttons can be "cumbersome," and that histories may incorporate files not meant for web browsers.
ASUS Eee PC adds HSPA-based 3G access
ASUS on Wednesday said it will add HSPA wireless data network access to its Eee PC range of portable notebook PCs, starting with the 8.9-inch Eee PC 901.

Judge tosses out RIAA win in Thomas case
Minnesota US District Judge Michael Davis today dismissed a Recording Industry Association of America victory in its controversial anti-piracy case against Jammie Thomas, declaring a mistrial. The move at least temporarily eliminates the $220,000 fine demanded by the music label representatives for claims that she pirated 24 songs by making them available through the KaZaA file sharing service. The call for a retrial comes after Judge Davis reversed his position and said a jury was no longer required to consider hosting songs enough of a legal grounding to find against Thomas.
Metadata group intros first digital photo standard
The Metadata Working Group on Wednesday announced the introduction of its first standard for the preservation of metadata, or �data about data� in digital photographs at the Photokina 2008 show. The specification is meant to make organizing, sharing and searching for digital photos quicker and easier, as well as make working with digital photos compatible across all applications, devices and services. Current metadata standards typically overlap and do not provide interoperability options.
iTunes to host unsigned tracks from Pure Play
Apple has signed a deal which should see over 1.5 million new songs added to the iTunes Store, reports say.

Sling ships Slingbox Pro-HD
Sling this morning began shipping its long-promised Slingbox Pro-HD, the company's first true HD streaming device. The device carries its own ATSC and ClearQAM hybrid tuner and will pick up either 720p or 1080i TV from cable, satellite and over-the-air broadcasts that can be shared either at home or online; on the local network, computers can watch and control the TV feed at its native resolution. Dual component video connections also help the Slingbox receive HD without disrupting other devices that might need the signal.
Casio develops 960x540, two-inch LCD
Casio on Thursday unveiled what it says is the sharpest display yet and took significant steps towards making HD video possible on mobile devices. Although measuring just two inches diagonally, the display uses a new hyper amorphous silicon LCD with an extremely small pixel structure and 15.5 micron dot pitch that lets Casio produce a 960x540 resolution. The output is a full quarter that of 1080p HD and results in an extremely dense 546 dots per inch, generating a near print-like quality to the final image.
Panasonic readies 8-series Toughbooks
Panasonic early today revamped its semi-hardened notebooks with the launch of its 8-series Toughbooks. The 14-inch F8, 12-inch W8 and the similarly-small T8 are all the first in their particular class to carry a Qualcomm Gobi chipset that gives access to 3G cellular Internet access over either EVDO or HSPA with supporting providers. They also take advantage of Intel's newest low-power Core 2 Duo chips and the newer GMA 4500MHD graphics and 802.11n Wi-Fi to match.

Future Shop POS shows six reserved Apple SKU entries
Some placeholder SKUs in Canadian retailer Future Shop's computer system could be a clue to impending Mac revisions, according to a screenshot supplied by an anonymous employee to MacRumors. A total of twelve spots entitled "APPLE MAC PLACEHOLDER" exist in the system, six each for English and French, all numbered accordingly. Futureshop and Best Buy have typically been privy to past Apple releases, most likely due to the close nature of their relationship.
MySpace launches DRM-free music service
MySpace tonight kicked off the formal appearance of MySpace Music, its first commercial music service. The feature takes advantage of existing hooks for streaming music to offer on-demand, ad-subsidized playback of full tracks from the website but also lets members purchase unprotected MP3s of songs through an Amazon MP3-supported system with similar prices; the normal MySpace Flash player now includes links to buy songs or add them to a playlist.

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit
Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which -- regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall -- can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users.

Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj

Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa

Residents and business will value water and its quality and demonstrate water smart behaviours in daily life, including conserving our water supply and protecting our waterways by ensuring only rain goes down the stormwater drain.
All residents and visitors will work with us to keep Brisbane clean, and reduce and recycle our waste.
By 2031:
- 40% of mainland Brisbane will be natural habitat
- Brisbane City Council will have maintained its carbon neutral status
- the average household's carbon emissions from energy, waste and transport will be six tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year
- in partnership with our neighbours and the Queensland Government, waterway health will improve for the Lower Brisbane River Catchment, Bramble Bay, Waterloo Bay and East Moreton Bay
- the use and visitation by our communities of our waterways and bay will increase compared to 2013
- total domestic waste generated per annum going to landfill will be reduced compared to 2013
- domestic waste recycled/recovered will be increased compared to 2013.
What you can do
You can:
- join a local environment group, such as a Brisbane catchment and community group or a Habitat Brisbane group
- identify weeds and remove them from your garden

Council's current achievements:
- achieved carbon neutral status for Council operations in 2016-17, negating more than 800,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions
- planted two million trees in the Brisbane local government area within four years - the largest project of its type worldwide, solely delivered by a local government in a defined local government area
- achieved the 500 hectare bushland acquisition target in 2011. Since 1990, 3000 hectares of significant bushland has been purchased through Council's Bushland Acquisition program
- purchased almost one million tonnes of accredited carbon offsets since 2007 to neutralise the carbon emissions from Council's bus, ferry, fleet vehicles and stationary gas use. Continued procurement of new buses has meant that over half the fleet is now the highest environmentally-friendly standard commercially available in Australia
- supported the renewable energy industry and reduced greenhouse gas emissions associated with Council's electricity use by purchasing renewable energy and installing rooftop solar systems
- rehabilitated 58 local waterway sites to enhance waterway health. Sixty kilometres of waterway corridors were rehabilitated and maintained by catchment groups in association with Council

Zlatan Ibrahimovic leads Man Utd to EFL Cup title, but other stars must step up
LONDON -- He may have been playing to the gallery by living up to his egotistical, self-centred reputation, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a point with his response when asked whether he thinks Manchester United are on the verge of "something special" after their dramatic EFL Cup final victory over Southampton on Sunday.
"I came," Ibrahimovic said. "That is special."
The Swedish centre-forward scored two goals in United's 3-2 win at Wembley, one of the classic finals since the stadium reopened in...

text: Posted November 28, 2001 Greetings from snow-covered Moscow, where I'm chilling out (figuratively & quite literally) from a long working period in Uzbekistan. Nothing planned ahead of time - just hanging out & buying ballet tix as interesting performances occur. So far I've seen a delightful 'Don Q' at the Stanislavsky (Tatiana Chernobrovkina as Kitri...how this 'prima ballerina' was omitted from the Kennedy Center tour of two years ago is beyond me...then again, there is no rhyme or reason to some Russian ballet intrigues); a ghastly 'Napoleon Bonaparte' full-length ballet at the Kremlin by resident choreographer Andrei Petrov (...and you thought Eifman was bad...); and an always-exciting opera (Boris Godunov) at the Bolshoi. But the highlight, thus far, was last Sunday night at the Bolshoi, when I attended something billed as "Gala Jubilee Tribute to Mikhail Lavrovsky," the former Bolshoi premier danseur (1960s/70s Spartacus, Albrecht, Basil...and first husband of Natalia Bessmertnova) & now a choreographer and director-founder of one of the better-known private ballet academies in town. The program consisted of three one-act ballets by Lavrovsky: two premieres ('Nijinsky' starring the magnificent young Bolshoi star Dmitri Gudanov in the title role and Lavrovsky as Diaghilev; and 'The Matador') and one older work ('Fantasy on a Theme of Casanova'). In all three cases, banal choreography was overcome by wonderful dancing and adoring enthusiasm from the sold-out gala audience. It was all worth my while just to see the septagenerian Lavrovsky prance on stage in the jota from 'Don Q' - delivering some eye-popping multiple-revolution pirouettes that had us hooting & hollering for more...and he kept giving us more & more & more. [sorry, Americans - nothing beats a Russian audience for healthy rowdiness!!] Interesting note for videophiles - a new batch of historic Soviet-Era videos (1960s & 70s) has been released, including a number of movie-theater films on ballet themes starring Maris Liepa ('Galatea'), Katia Maximova ('Fouette') & others. Most of you know about the recent Russian-commercial videos of the reconstructed 1902 'Don Q' (Ananiashvili, et al) and the latest 'Giselle' (Lunkina/Tsiskaridze)? Well, now there is a follor-up documentary on 'The Making of Giselle' which captures on film the great Ulanova coaching Lunkina for her debut as Giselle, 3-4 years ago. Ulanova died a few months after this event. Lots of great ballet news on TV. Vishneva won a Merited Artist of Russian Federation award. Nina Ananiashvili's recent new ballet ('Leah' by Ratmansky) premiered at the operetta theater instead of the originally-announced Bolshoi...not a big hit, acording to my friends who, on the other hand, love the new Roland Petit ballet at the Bolshoi ('Queen of Spades' to Tchaikovsky, based on the opera). More later. Nina A.'s 20th anniversary gala is next Friday. I'm going to try to stay here through that event, then go back to Tashkent for 10 days before returning home for Xmas. [sorry that I haven't been able to answer all e-mails...I am sans-computer and am writing this note from the internet cafe at Okhotnij Ryad Mall in front of the Bolshoi Theater.] - Jeannie Szoradi, writing from Moscow, Russia [ November 29, 2001: Message edited by: Jeannie ] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PITTSBURGH -- San Diego Padres closer Huston Street has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained quad.
Street, who has converted all 21 saves opportunities this season, was put on the DL before Saturday night's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Right-handed reliever Cory Burns was recalled from Triple-A Tucson.
Street was injured in the ninth inning of Friday night's 9-8 win over the Padres when he went to cover first base on a game-ending groundout.
"I was hoping I wouldn't go on the DL but I'm going to miss at least two weeks and I'm hopeful that will be it," Street said.
Street is 2-1 with a 0.75 ERA in 36 games. He has not allowed a run in his last 22 appearances and 21 1/3 innings.
Street was the Padres' lone representative in the All-Star Game last month.
San Diego manager Bud Black said he likely would use a combination of set-up relievers Dale Thayer and Luke Gregerson to close games. Thayer was 5 for 5 in save opportunities in May while Street was on the DL with a strained right shoulder.
"It's a bummer," Black said of Street being injured. "I really believe the guys in our bullpen will step up, though. We have five rookies down there but we'll find a way to get it done until Huston comes back."
Burns was 1-2 with three saves and a 3.14 ERA in 54 games with Tucson. He pitched in one game with San Diego earlier this season, working 1 2/3 scoreless innings on Aug. 4 against the New York Mets in his major league debut.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

- TAI CHI ZERO: Blu-ray review
- Posted by Deljhp - 21/01/13 at 06:14 PM
Director: Stephen Fung. Review: Stan Glick.
North American aficionados of comic kung fu will be able to satisfy their jones on Tuesday, January 22nd, when Stephen Fung's TAI CHI ZERO debuts on Blu-ray (upon which this review is based), DVD and digital. It's a fanciful and lighthearted imagining about the founder of Yang style Tai Chi Ch'uan, Yang Luchan, here played by Jayden Yuan (a.k.a. Yuan Xiaochao, who reportedly took his English first name from Will Smith's son Jayden, who co-starred with Jackie Chan in the remake of THE KARATE KID).
Luchan is also known as "The Freak" because he has a horn-like growth, known as "Three Blossoms on the Crown," on his right forehead. When the bump is struck, he turns into a formidable fighter. Unfortunately this also depletes his ch'i (internal energy). Luchan's birth and early youth play as a silent movie with intertitles. When he's about eight years old, his mother (Shu Qi, whom I still can't picture as a mother, although she's old enough to be one) dies. Master Zhao, a leader of the rebels against the Qing (Manchu) emperor, takes in Lychan, but teaches him only about using brute force. Master Dong (1970s kung fu superstar Leung Siu-lung), a healer in Zhao's camp, advises Luchan that in order to stay alive he must go to Chen village and learn the internal martial art of Tai Chi, developed and taught by the Chen family...Continue reading review.

Newport Beach
About Newport Beach
Located in Orange County, California, Newport Beach is home to Newport Harbor, one of the largest recreational boat harbors in the western coast of the US. Boaters love the Newport Harbor for the many boating activities that it offers including canoeing, sailing, paddleboarding, rowing, kayaking, and more. The city enjoys a Mediterranean climate that features a weak variation in temperature conditions across the seasons. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean also ensures that the city enjoys warmer winters and cooler summers, making it a pleasant place to enjoy boating.
Newport Beach Boat Rentals & Boating Activities
The city has a lot of boating options for everyone. If recreation tops your list of priority, you can easily rent a pontoon boat, sailboat, kayak, or a pedal boat or just relax on a Duffy boat. For a more energetic endeavor, there is the stand-up paddleboard. Newport Beach is also a wonderful place to rekindle your romance. Simply hire the services of a gondolier and enjoy a gondola ride in a moonlit night.
Reserve an hour-and-a-half of your day for a trip around the fascinating Newport Harbor. That's a total of 27 square miles of breathtaking view. Take your pick from more than 10,000 boats and yachts comprising kayak, jetboat, top-of-the-line Boston Whaler, and more. Piloting your own boat is undoubtedly one of the best ways to explore the waterways. You may also enjoy an on-the-water picnic or halt at one of the waterfront restaurants for a delectable meal. Taking a ride on one of the electric "golf carts on water" is also a fascinating way to savor the beauty all around. If you happen to be here in December, make sure to witness the Christmas Boat Parade where many illuminated boats navigate the harbor.

Exclusive - Chris Hughton suggests foreign owners are piling the pressure on managers like never before
Brighton manager Chris Hughton believes foreign owners are making life difficult for managers to thrive in the modern game, as the dust continues to settle on Claudio Ranieri's sacking at Leicester. The Thai owners of Leicester sacked the manager who brought their club the most improbable Premier League title triumph in history last May, with Gary Lineker and Jose Mourinho among those questioning the decision on social media. After all that Claudio Ranieri has done for Leicester City, to sack him now is inexplicable, unforgivable and gut-wrenchingly sad. More »Yahoo Sport UK - Fri, Feb 24, 2017 14:51 GMT

This rode
Which contains many twists and turns
With a fork in the road
Where i must choose my own fate.
The paths are already created
And they seem to point to the same end
Where i get screwed
And the world laughes at it's own prank.
It thinks it's so cleaver
To fool me
But i have finally succeed
For i stepped off the path
To only fall first
For failer must come before success
Now i must pick myself up
And stand on my own two feet
For the world is only full of fools
Working to a final goal
To succeed
And many cannot find out that failer is neccessory
In order to find what was lost in this world.

Forecast Horoscope
Das The cheerful and inexpensive forecast for one year.
Neptune square Saturn: Self-doubt Beginning of June 2015 until end of December 2017: During this time you will have problems with insecurity and anxiety that seem to have no apparent cause. Your grasp of reality seems to be slipping away, and you feel very disoriented and confused. Regardless of your material circumstances at this time, this is ultimately a psychological influence; that is, it affects you by causing your moods and your views of the world to change. Any problems you have now will probably have their origins in your own mind. That is the first principle to grasp with this influence. If you can handle its effect on your consciousness, you can handle anything. The chief problem is that you will begin to have doubts and fears that you are not adequate to handle your life, and you may feel like withdrawing from everything. That is not a good idea, however, because you need others' points of view to balance your overly pessimistic views. However, if someone is contributing to the shakiness of your self-confidence, you should cut that person out of your life, at least for the present. Insecurity and lack of belief in yourself have the greatest effect on your public appearance and your domestic life. Remember that you have the same rights and privileges to be yourself as anyone else has, and don't allow others to walk over you. But don't become so committed to a position on any matter that you cannot let go of it without further damaging your belief in yourself. One important effect of this influence is that it takes away elements of your life that you have identified with - property, possessions, opinions or whatever. It shows you that your existence does not depend upon being able to hold on to these elements. In fact one manifestation of this influence may be that you will voluntarily give up your material possessions for a self-denying, ascetic way of life like a monk's, although probably not so extreme. The best way to deal with this influence is to see just how much you can do without. You may be surprised at how little you need, and your burdens may be much lighter as a result.
Uranus square Jupiter: Unexpected expenses Beginning of July 2016 until beginning of March 2018: This period brings a great feeling of exuberance and optimism, which is fine, but it can lead you to be foolishly overconfident and to take unwarranted financial and material risks. This influence brings out the gambler in almost anyone. However, it is hard to know exactly what to expect from this one, and you may find yourself in trouble if you don't restrain your optimism a bit. Nothing at all may happen, but you just don't know. So proceed with caution, especially in financial matters, and be careful not to leave any loose ends. Even if you don't take risks, this influence can sometimes cause unexpected expenses or financial shortages. But that happens because you have failed to take into account some factor that could cause trouble for you at this time. If you have a realistic attitude toward the way the world works, what you can and cannot do effectively, especially in financial matters, this influence will not do any particular damage. It may even bring a sudden chance to take advantage of a situation. Just make sure that it's a real opportunity. If you are not clear about your limitations, this transit could bring some unpleasant surprises. At the same time, this influence may symbolize striking out against the system. You may adopt a different set of values from the prevailing culture and pursue a lifestyle that is quite different from the way you have lived. If you do, you may experience considerable disapproval from your friends and others around you at this time. But this is not a violent rebellion, it is just that you have begun to experience the world differently from those around you. As a result your point of view is different. You wish to be free of the narrowness that you see in others.
Saturn conjunction Descendant: Relationships on trial Beginning of March 2017 until mid-December 2017: This influence has two quite different meanings. First of all, it can indicate a period in which intimate one-to-one relationships become an area of great responsibility. Chief among these is your marriage or living with your partner, but it also refers to close partnerships of any sort. You must pay close attention to these relationships. Strains and tensions that have been developing in the recent past are likely to surface now and must be dealt with immediately! Sometimes the only way to handle these problems is to end the relationship, so this can be a time of great trial for a marriage. Even under the best of circumstances you will have to work harder on partnerships and try to solve as many problems as possible. Related to this is another possible area of concern: namely, problems with people who oppose your interests in various matters. Such people can range from outright enemies to those who simply want to keep you in check for some reason. If this kind of problem arises, all you can do is try to understand the person's motivation and do what you can to eliminate their reasons for opposing you. But aside from these two kinds of problems involving others, this influence means that at this time you are making a significant breakthrough in your life. For several years now you have been working quietly to get ahead and make new beginnings. Now the work you have been doing is beginning to bear fruit and you will be acknowledged. In fact, one of the reasons you are having conflict with enemies is that now you are really beginning to get somewhere in life, which is likely to be threatening to others. At any rate, now you are ready for the upward climb to attain your goals in life. This is a very critical time, when you must work very carefully to get ahead. Do not take any shortcuts to success that violate what you believe to be right.
Neptune trine Venus: Mystical love Mid-April 2017 until beginning of February 2019: This influence will stimulate your romantic imagination considerably. This may lead you to an unusually romantic relationship with someone, or it may arouse creative talents that you were not even aware of. The symbol of this influence is the beautiful dream or illusion. Even though it is an illusion, you have the ability now to make it real if you recognize that you must work to make any dream real. If this influence does bring about a love relationship, it will probably be more romantic and idealized than any you have ever experienced. It will seem like a perfect soul union between the two of you, the realization of your most perfect ideal. However, there is the danger of overidealization. You will eventually learn to see your partner's flaws, but this relationship should broaden your understanding of people to the point that you can accept the inevitable flaws. This influence probably will not produce great disappointment in relationships. In fact, under this influence you will be more compassionate and understanding of your lover, almost as if you and your lover were one and her problems are yours too. This sense of oneness is based on a deep spiritual truth that you can recognize more easily now, that we are all one. You are now much more sensitive to the mystical aspects of love. You may not encounter an ideal love right now, of course, but even so you will display much more sensitivity in your relationships and understanding of other people. If you have any intrinsic creative abilities, this influence will stimulate them tremendously. This is an excellent time to begin the study of an art or craft. But this influence is most favorable to the pure arts, those whose sole objective is the creation of beautiful images as opposed to useful art objects. Even if you are not artistic, your ability to perceive beauty in the world around you will be enormously heightened, and you will be much more sensitive to the spirit of life that animates everything in the world.
Uranus sextile Ascendant: Offbeat and eccentric End of May 2017 until beginning of February 2019: At this time you will seek greater flexibility and freedom in your friendships, as well as with your neighbors and the people you associate with daily. And opportunities for favorable change in your life may come through any of these people. Often this influence has an electric quality, so that everyone you meet seems to give off an energy charge that makes you move faster and more suddenly. The people you meet now will be quite different from those you usually associate with, and if your attitudes are rigid you may be mildly upset by them. But this is a sign that you should enlarge the range of people whom you will accept and associate with. Do not limit your circle of associates too much; these new persons can show you a lot about life. It is quite likely that the tempo of change in your life will increase to the point that others will think of you as unstable and unreliable, but this is a reflection of their conservatism. You may suddenly discover that your friends of many years seem limited and narrow and no longer interesting. Instead, you may become involved with some group that is considered by the rest of society, particularly your old friends, to be offbeat and eccentric, if not completely crazy. If you have not been asserting your own individuality in relationships, you will do so now, and it is important that you do. If you try to suppress these drives, they will burst forth later on in a manner that is difficult to control. Often this influence signifies an interest in new and different studies. Technical and scientific disciplines are suitable to this symbolism, as are the various branches of the occult. Under this influence people often get into astrology. But the main point to keep in mind is that this influence represents a creative stirring up of your personality and your relationships to the people around you.

The first National Assessment Program - science literacy (NAP-SL) of Year 6 students occurred in 2003 with successive assessments conducted in 2006, 2009 and 2012. This is the only sample assessment that focuses entirely on Year 6 students. This is because the Ministerial Council for Education, Early Childhood Development and Youth Affairs (MCEECDYA, now known as the Education Council) agreed to use the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) as the national measure of performance for science literacy among secondary students.
In 2015, the fifth assessment cycle of science literacy has transitioned from a paper-based test to an online test. It is the third of the NAP sample assessments to be delivered online following the National Assessment Program – civics and citizenship in 2013 and the National Assessment Program – ICT literacy in 2014.
To prepare for the online assessment in 2015, questions were developed and subjected to a rigorous trialling process to ensure suitability for the assessment. A field trial was conducted in mid-March 2015 in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria involving around 50 schools. Approximately 14,000 students will participate in the sample assessment in October and November 2015.
Another important change for the NAP – SL 2015 assessment is the development of an assessment framework which will act as a bridge between past and future NAP – SL cycles. It incorporates the existing assessment domain and progress map so that the underlying construct of the NAP-SL assessment is maintained while providing an overview of the connections to the Australian Curriculum and the online assessment context. This work will contribute to the development of an assessment framework for future NAP – SL assessments post-2015 which will be based primarily on the Australian Curriculum: Science.

How Falling Oil Prices Are Upending Russian Politics
MOSCOW -- The Russian political system is archaic. It was created during a historical period when rulers were awash in petrodollars and there was simply no apparent need for democratic institutions, checks and balances, independent judiciary, strong parliament, federalism, local government and so forth. Without easy money, the ruling regime will not survive without modernization.

Re: Drive time to Johnston Ridge Observatory from I-5?
You'll want to leave about at least 5 hours total for a trip up there and back, as there are a few places most people want to stop and take photos.
The state operated interpretive center near Seaquest State Park is a pretty good place to stop as well, as it explains very well the area you are visiting.
You can do it in less time than this, but anyone I have met who has tried to do it in less winds up being disappointed with the results.

Re: Why does my HTC Evo 4G have a huge cluster of dead pixels in the middle of the screen?
Welcome to Android Central! You don't have to crack the screen to damage it. I would guess the impact of the fall damaged the LCD screen internally. You can also see damage like that on screens where there was excessive pressure (like, for example, if someone pressed down hard on a laptop screen).
Unfortunately, you probably won't be able to fix it yourself. If it completely impedes the normal usage of the phone, you're probably looking at replacing the LCD at a cellphone repair shop.

Dear Friends,
It's that time again. The annual FIRST LOOK auction will begin posting auction
items this Sunday, Feb. 18, 2007! This will be number 7!!! We can hardly
believe it.
Last year's auction netted a whopping $8,737.00! Last year all of that money
was earmarked for the AHS HVX research fund and after much work by Cynthia
Wilhoite, VP Genus Hosta, we will be writing a check and adding our support to
that effort. Thank you to all who donated plants and who bid in last year's
This year's auction will be something special! It has been more than 5 years
since we have raised money for everyone's most visited hosta resource, The
Hosta Library. So this year we will be splitting the funds raised by this
year's auction with The Hosta Library.
If anyone would like to donate plants to the FL Online Auction, here is how to
do so...
Think about what breeder or one of a kind plants you might have that will
generate great interest and send a description along with your best quality
photo of it to: firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com .
On Hostapix we have been discussing what Brian and Virginia have called the
"Friendship" class of plants. These are plants that you like in your garden
but are too slow to mature or would never be chosen for commercial sales. If
you have anything like that you feel would bring some spirited bidding and
have a photo and a name for it, that would be a good auction item that you
could donate, please drop us a line.
The First Look auction is a great place to showcase new varieties to which the
FoOSF gang will attest. And it is also a great place to have fun bidding on
special items and contributing to the Hosta Library.
If you like to have fun, have a special plant you want to showcase, have a
Friendship Class Hosta that you would like to donate, or if you have a plant
that is rarely seen anywhere that you could donate a division of...then please
Email a photo and description of your donations to: email@example.com or
firstname.lastname@example.com .
It's time to help support that Internet Institution we all hold dear.....The
Hosta Library, by having some fun at the First Look Online Auction. Again, the
proceeds from this year's auction will be split 50/50 between AHS Region One
First Look and The Hosta Library.
We will also have fun contests and prizes at this year's auction so visit
often and participate in the fun!
Spread the word, show your support and let's get FIRED UP for Spring!!!!
Please to copy this call for donation announcement to any other hosta robin
lists you feel would like to donate.
Your First Look auction elves,
Carol Brashear email@example.com
Bill Meyer firstname.lastname@example.com
PS... We hear that Dr. Lillian Wasitis has an important "hosta first"
announcement to make and you will hear it first via the Hosta News Network at
the First Look auction!! Watch for special announcements.
