A taste of tiling with X-Tile
Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
For years, tiling window managers have been a popular, but minority interface choice for GNU/ Linux. Ion, dwm, awesome and others differ in implementation, but what all have in common is that they divide the desktop into separate frames to avoid problems with overlapping windows. You can even mimic tiling in Windows by selecting them in the taskbar while holding the Ctrl key, then making a choice from the context menu. Now, thanks to X-Tile (http://open.vitaminap.it/en/index.htm), you can mimic tiling in GNOME as well.
Why would you want tiling? The answer is that Metacity, GNOME's default window manager, does not open windows efficiently. Although Metacity makes some effort to avoid placing new windows on top of existing ones, it does not work with every application, particularly non-GNOME ones. Instead, far too many windows open in the upper left corner. At other times, intelligent placement of windows is thwarted by the fact that Metacity remembers the last position and size of a window. Search for solutions, and you find that the most common solutions are to use a patched version of Metacity, or another window manager (not that most other window managers do much better).
Of course, there are workarounds. You can use multiple workspaces with only one or two windows open on each, but that requires some organization as well as extra keystrokes or mouse-clicks. Similarly, while using Alt+Tab to cycle through the open windows on your desktop eliminates the need to sort windows, you may dislike working against the background of other windows, to say nothing of the concealment of any icons you might have on the desktop. For such reasons, X-Tile may be a welcome solution.
X-Tile takes the shape of a GNOME panel applet. It is available as a .DEB package for Ubuntu (which doesn't work in Debian), or source code. Since it is a small package, you can install it in less than ten seconds using dpkg -i, but you have to log out and back in before it is visible in the list of available panel applets.
To use X-Tile, click its icon on the panel to open a window with a list of all windows open on the desktop. Select which windows you want to tile, then choose how you want to orient them -- vertically or horizontally -- or whether you want to maximize or minimize all of them. You also have the option of whether to keep the X-Tile window open after the selected windows are rearrange.
The one complication in this basic functionality is that, as in the Windows XP implementation of tiling that I suspect it is based on, X-Tile's choices of "Tile Horizontally" and "Tile Vertically" are confusing. For instance, if you select "Tile Vertically," then windows are stacked one above the other on the desktop, which gives each a horizontal orientation. Similarly, "Tile Horizontally" arranges windows side by side, which gives each a vertical orientation. However, once you use X-Tile a few times, this choice of terms should become less confusing.
Besides sorting windows, X-Tile is particularly useful for comparing two documents side by side. However, if you use it with more than two or three windows, then the resulting windows are likely to be too narrow or too long for you to work in any of them conveniently. Instead, you have to maximize one window or minimize the rest. The result is that, with multiple windows, X-Tile is mostly a way to sort windows to make them all visible at the same time -- and, since you already can see from the panel's Window List what windows are open, its usefulness seems limited.
As I used X-Tile, I found myself wishing that it included an option for dividing the screen into quarters, which is what most of the tiling window managers do. With this arrangement, windows arranged by X-Tile might actually have dimensions in which you could actually work without maximizing or minimizing anything. But, the way things are, X-Tile seems more a proof of concept than anything that most users will want on their desktops.
Windowsits not a window its like a curtain where you can slide it by hand..
Linux and the confusionWow, seems like the tiles guy up there confused the topic a bit.
Anyway, I still remember my first Ubuntu install and I've been reading your magazine ever since!

u do tiles toohi guys
i am a plumber with http://www.thetiledepot.co.uk/. and found u guys while searching for cheap floor tiles.
great to hear you do tiling too in ur field. i hope its as interesting as ours lol.
take care
X-tileI haven't used (or seen) windows in a number of years and didn't realise that it could even tile
horizontally or vertically. Any similarity to another OS or windows manager is coincidental
and hardly surprising
http://www.blindsuk.net/ vertical blinds are horizontal strips *arranged* vertically,
nothing confusing there...
We allow more than 2 windows to tile as for all we know your monitor could be very wide!
Its up to the user to make a sensible determination of the number of windows to tile as trying
to come up with some kind of rule to decide how many we should allow them to tile
would be at best arbitrary and at worst removes choice.
I like the idea of dividing the screen into quarters and I'm off to implement that now...
Was really excited by the headline......but the screenshot makes it seem easier just to resize windows by hand. Hope it keeps developing, though. The Compiz plugin that provides tiling-type functionality is great but my system doesn't run Compiz well, and there's no way I'm learning a new WM just for tiling functionality. Definitely room here for more entrants.

The wonder of Vos
Chris Boardman rated it the race of the week and Marianne Vos was its shining star. Saturday's road race wrapped up a good week for cycling's women in Florence. Brian Cookson appointed the first female vice-president of the International Cycling Union in Tracey Gaudry of Australia on his first day in the job and hours later Vos won her second successive road-race rainbow jersey. The Dutch rider, who now has three road world titles and two Olympic gold medals, is one of the world's greatest sportswomen.
Appearance matters 1
The sight of the women's peloton sweeping along the Arno with the city of Florence and the Duomo was breathtaking. Next year the worlds will be in Ponferrada, Spain, but the UCI is keen to spread cycling so in 2015 it will go to Richmond in the US and in 2016 to Qatar. There are suggestions that will mean a switch to October because of the September heat, while a "hilly" course is being built in the desert. Will the sport be any richer, in a figurative rather than literal sense?
Appearance matters 2
The events of Friday morning inside the crenelated splendour of the Palazzo Vecchio as the UCI stumbled and bumbled through choosing a new president was a very public embarrassment for a sport that can ill-afford such a shaming. Afford is the word – cycling has been struggling to hang on to and attract sponsors and the election shambles will not have impressed would-be investors. At least there was regime change, but Cookson has a mighty job on.
In the genes
Saturday was a happy one for the orange hordes as the Dutch claimed both races. Before Vos's triumph Mathieu van der Poel took the junior event. The 18-year-old is a rare prospect which should not really comes as a surprise since his father won two stages of the Tour de France and his grandfather finished on the podium eight times. Van der Poel was one of several teenagers to give note of bright futures. The 18-year-old Slovenian Matej Mohoric, was a confident winner of the Under-23 road race.
Stormy pleasure
The riders may hate it, it makes life pretty miserable for the spectators and has a bruising impact on the race but there is a degree of guilty rubber-necking glee in watching elite sportsmen suddenly appear all too human in appalling conditions. Yesterday's rain and wind made for an awful ride, possibly the worst weather conditions seen at a sporting event since Tiger Woods hacked his way to an 81 during the great Muirfield Saturday storm of 2002, but it made gripping, gruesome viewing.

The highly anticipated 2013 Scion FR-S – the sister car of the Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT 86 – goes on sale this spring, and the automaker's website now shows that the cost of entry will be $24,930 including destination. That base price gets you an FR-S equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, though Scion's site doesn't yet say what the cost will be for cars equipped with the six-speed automatic.

Two U.S. Navy boats and ten sailors were taken into Iranian custody Tuesday.
The Iranian military kept the sailors overnight and released them Wednesday morning. After the incident, U.S. government leaders went to the media to explain that despite 10 sailors being taken into Iranian custody, the relationship between the two nations has improved.
On Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry rushed to thank the Iranian government for their cooperation and the hospitality they provided for the 10 sailors.
"I want to thank Iranian authorities for their cooperation and quick response," Kerry said. "These are only situations which everybody here knows has an ability if not properly guided to get out of control."
Vice President Joe Biden said Iran acted like an "ordinary nation."
"They [the sailors] were there in distress and said they [Iran] would release them, and released them — like ordinary nations would do," Biden said.
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D, Mo.) said while the U.S. didn't trust Iran, it had a 'working relationship with the country.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D, Calif.) said the U.S.-Iran relationship was a remarkable display of diplomacy.
"It is quite remarkable. In fact, since you are asking more about it, it is a masterful work on the part of President Obama," Pelosi said. "So from diplomatic standpoint to get us to this place was masterful."
The State Department said that Iran's treatment of U.S. Navy sailors could have violated the Geneva Convention because of the release of videos showed the sailors in custody. But the State Department said it didn't know if the videos were authentic.
Government officials were not alone in their belief that the Iranian custody of 10 U.S. sailors is a sign of better relations between the two nations.

I've been browsing ebay a bit, (the auction on my sister's birthday gift

with the winning bid!)and decided to see what bulbs were available. I
saw something that really floored me. Oxalis adenophylla, a darling
little hardy Oxalis that I've grown in the past and bought to sell at
our recent MG bulb sale was being offered. This person was offering ONE
bulb for $4.50 and 5 people had bid it up already to $8.01 with the
possibility of going higher. Van Engelen sells these bulbs for 50 bulbs
for $7.69. Maybe they are a bit smaller than the one being auctioned,
but VE's are topsize, meaning flowering size. Don't these people
research anything before bidding?

Ink dries on Thiensville Main Street deal
Property to become Thiensville Health Alliance
Thiensville — Co-partners Gary Lewis and Andrea Mayerson have won the bid for Thiensville's village-owned Main Street property and will proceed with plans for their three-story, mixed-used Thiensville Health Alliance building.
On Monday, the Village Board approved the sale of the former Riemer's Flowers, D&D Electronics and Sea N' Sand Scuba sites for $60,410. The village purchased the sites for a total of $297,000 in 2012 and later razed the buildings to make way for redevelopment. Village President Van Mobley said the board agreed to a reduced sale price similar to that which helped facilitate the nearby Fiddleheads Coffee Roasters redevelopment.
"Dr. Lewis is a great partner with the village," Mobley said. "He's been a member of the village. We're happy we had him where he was in the past and we're happy to be partnering with him in this central area."
A ceremonial groundbreaking will take place at the site, 136 Main Street, at 5 p.m. Sept. 25 to kick off a business forum between village officials and local developers.
The Thiensville Health Alliance building was one of three proposals made to village officials by local businesses over the summer. Mobley said village officials are working to help find places in Thiensville for the other two businesses.
Lewis, a longtime area physician who first owned a practice in Brown Deer before moving to Thiensville in 2005, plans retail storefronts on the ground level, medical practices including his own, a partner physician from Mequon, physical therapy, chiropractic, massage, psychotherapy and acupuncture on the second floor, and a conference center, workshop, exercise gym and miscellaneous rental space on the third.
Village Administrator Dianne Robertson said Wednesday that whether the building uses well or municipal water, among other details, will need to be worked out over the coming months as building plans are approved by elected officials.
Lewis said he plans to break ground on the site "as soon as possible" with an expected completion date in late-summer 2014.
"It's been a dream of mine, since I began practice, to have an integrative medical clinic where we can feed off each other and offer people all the therapies available in the same building," Lewis said. "That's been my dream, and together with Thiensville, who have made this possible, we feel very elated by the whole prospect."

Gospel and Henry VIII by Professor Alec Ryrie
Book DescriptionDuring the last decade of Henry VIII's life, his Protestant subjects struggled to reconcile two loyalties: to their Gospel and to their king. This book tells the story of that struggle and describes how a radicalised English Protestantism emerged from it. Focusing on the critical but neglected period 1539-47, Dr Ryrie argues that these years were not the 'conservative reaction' of conventional historiography, but a time of political fluidity and ambiguity. Most evangelicals continued to hope that the king would favour their cause, and remained doctrinally moderate and politically conformist. The author examines this moderate reformism in a range of settings - in the book trade, in the universities, at court and in underground congregations. He also describes its gradual eclipse, as shifting royal policy and the dynamics of the evangelical movement itself pushed reformers towards the more radical, confrontational Protestantism which was to shape the English identity for centuries.

According to EW.com, both guests will appear in an episode focusing on the murder of a physicist's daughter, Amanda. Schiff will play Dr. Leon Watters, the "Brennan of theoretical physics." After his daughter dies, the man becomes detached — but Brennan (Emily Deschanel), seeing herself in the scientific genius, understands that Watters has to focus on work in order to be able to cope with the situation.
Considering Brennan is a parent of a daughter herself, it's possible that this will be a very poignant situation for her.
Maroney, a medal-winning gymnast at the 2012 Olympics, will play Ellie. She is described as both a friend and a rival to Watters' deceased daughter.
While at some point, "Bones" is expected to move to Fridays, for now the show airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on FOX. The next episode — focusing on Booth and Brennan's honeymoon — airs Monday, Nov. 4.

This was our second vacation at this beautiful oasis. We went on different outings Fort De Soto Park,canoeing,hiking,strolling the beach etc. It was so refreshing when we got back to this Condo to relax on the beautiful deck. Thank you Gary and Marie for the clean and relaxing atmosphere. Art and Donna

What a beautiful oasis ! ! ! We enjoyed staying at your stylish, inviting, elegant suite, beautifully furnished and with all the amenities one could need. The suite was super clean and the grounds were immaculate. It was like staying at a high-end resort with the luxury of having the freedom to choose your own adventure each day with so many major attractions so easily accessible ... the world renown St. Pete's Beach, the yacht clubs and nearby restaurants & cafe's, nature parks, Theme Parks, and of course shopping at the Outlet Malls. On the days were relaxing was the only desire, a coffee on the balcony over-looking the beautiful bay was the first item on the agenda. We also loved walking around the pond in the mornings, followed by a swim in the pool. The sunsets really are as beautiful as in the Florida postcards. We really felt comfortable and relaxed knowing that Isla Del Sol Island is a friendly, yet secure, safe, private resort area. There is also a monitored, covered, dedicated parking spot for the vehicle. Thank you, Gary and Marie, for creating a beautiful oasis. Kindest regards, Mary-Anne

We just arrived home after spending the month of October in your beautifully furnished Condo. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo is furnished with everything one could possibly need. We loved the immaculate, beautifully groomed landscaping throughout the complex. This made our walks even more enjoyable. Sitting on the balcony early morning waiting for the Sun to rise, then catching occasional glimpses of Dolphins and fish jumping was an added bonus. We also loved that we could park our vehicle in an enclosed garage, keeping your vehicle cooler and cleaner. The presence of 24 hr. security was a great plus as well. Thank you for the great accommodations. Regards, Gary and Barb Moore

The location is ideal as you overlook the pool but do not hear and noise etc. I can't say enough about the furnishings, kitchen and linens. It is beautiful! The entire rental process was easy and flawless. I can't wait to return next year. Thanks to Gary and Marie.

My wife and I rented this beautiful condo for 2 weeks in September this year, having rented on Isla Del Sol on very many occasions in the past 25 years. This is, without doubt, the best by far we have rented. Having benefitted from a recent refurbishment, It is beautifully furnished and equipped with everything imaginable to make your stay as complete and comfortable as possible. The location is great overlooking the pool, the bay and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Gary and Marie could not have been more helpful in make all the necessary arrangements. If you are looking for a base for your next Florida vacation, look no further!

We stayed in this unit for a two week stay and didn't want to leave! The property was immaculate, updated and ready to host our stay. The homeowners could not have been any nicer, genuinely kind people. The complex is well maintained and everybody we came into contact with was friendly. This condo has a beautiful water and pool view. We took advantage of the gym, pool and hot tub on site. The proximity is convenient to beaches, shopping and restaurants too. Stay here and you won't be disappointed. We were sorry our trip ended.

My sister and I had an opportunity to stay at this beautiful property.. We were so impressed with the newly renovated condo. and modern furnishings. All the amenities are provided for your convenience. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the sunny balcony overlooking Tampa Bay. Many evenings were spent relaxing in the hot tub in the warm ocean breeze. The large salt water pool is great for swimming and meeting some of the friendly neighbours. I noticed that walking around the lake is a daily activity for many of the people in the area so we laced up our running shoes and got our daily exercise. The hosts are very friendly and go above and beyond to provide the best vacation experience. We will definitely return to this gorgeous condo at Isla Del Sol Island.

We absolutely loved our vacation at this beautiful condo on Isla Del Sol Florida. It is direct from the airport and is located in a beautiful, safe community surrounded by water, palm trees, and a golf course. The owners take the utmost pride in their condo and it is immaculate with the finest decor. The condo is well equipped and everything is new. We enjoyed eating our breakfast on the large balcony in the morning overlooking the lovely bay as dolphins swam by. The view from both sides of the condo is lovely as they have a corner unit on the top floor of a 3 storey building. There is easy accessibility to the exercise facility and computer area, games room, pool, and hot tub overlooking the bay The clean pool is a good size even if you want to swim laps and the water temperature is perfect. The condo location is convenient with a short drive east to down town St. Petersburg on the bay. You can take a quick drive south to Fort Desoto State Park where the dolphins are abundant from the pier. Walk, jog, or bike west to St. Petersburg beach on the ocean where you can stroll up and down for a long way. You can drive north to Clearwater if you like with many choices of restaurants and shops along the way as well as boat excursions. There is a lot of fun to be had yet you can relax if you desire. Don't miss the gorgeous sun sets out at the beach as they make vacationing on this west coast an advantage. The owners extend themselves to ensure their renters have a most enjoyable vacation. We will definitely return to the condo if the opportunity arises.
Delighted with our experience

Delighted with our experience
March 19, 2014
We stayed at this condo in January. It was our first experience renting from a private owner but we didn't need to worry. The property was spotless and really well equipped, all the kitchen stuff I would have in my own home, lots of towels, pool towels, iron, teapot-you name it, we had it. We arrived late in the evening so couldn't really see the view, but the next day, we woke up to a view of boats in the little bay, we were delighted that we had such luck with our first time as vacation renters. The condo is on the 3rd floor, so it's very quiet-no-one above you- and it's 30 seconds to a very well-kept pool. It seems the thing to do on Isla del Sol, is to put on your walking shoes and hit the grounds every morning so we did the same. The grounds are very nicely done and we ended up chatting to different walkers every day. There's a special feel to it all because you are on an island-it feels safe, a little world all of it's own. There is golf there but as we don't golf I don't know too much about that, but there were lots of people out there on the Greens. And there is a gym there which we didn't use either, but we were told it's well equipped. We had quite a few rainy days but the owners had provided Cable TV and Internet plus phone use so we were quite happy. All in all a great experience and so we have booked 2 months for next year.

He wants to design toasters, is converting a concrete water tower into a new home for himself and is a leading light of the booming British design industry. When he joined Habitat as its creative director 10 years ago, Tom Dixon became one of the most influential designers in the UK.
In design circles, his Jack light – an angular lantern that could sit on the floor or stack – and his S chair, produced by Cappellini, made his name as a producer of modern classics. And, unlike the overblown objects that count as designer furniture at the fairs in Milan and Cologne, Dixon seems to design with an unusual attention to practicality and broad appeal. Despite his mainstream success – and an OBE for services to the design industry – the former guitarist and keen biker is still routinely described as a maverick.
"I'm anti-Establishment, yeah, when I choose to be," he says, slouching on a sofa in his studio in Clerkenwell, in central London, a pleasantly cluttered double-height former workshop, "But I'm Establishment, too. I try to do things that other people aren't doing, 'cause otherwise it's pointless, right?"
Something that few other industrial designers would countenance is giving away their work for free. Last year, there were Primark-style riot scenes in central London when he gave away 500 polystyrene chairs to the public. They were all gone in seven minutes.
Next week, Dixon will repeat the stunt when he hands out 1,000 low-energy lights – white opaque pendants called Blow, fitted with a low-energy compact fluorescent bulb – to mark the beginning of both the London Design Festival and the 100% Design fair. This apparent act of benevolence was inspired by his attempts to find a new way for the industry to distribute its products beyond the design-converted.
"It could just be seen as a lunatic attempt to become popular," he admits, "but I've always been frustrated by how difficult it is to distribute furniture. The system is complicated and old-fashioned. You make things that are quite big. Chairs sit around in design shops for months while people debate whether or not to invest in them. I was reflecting on how we could be a bit more modern, like other industries. How we could be a bit more modern and give things away for free."
By putting advertising on giveaway design, he ponders, or by periodically offering for sale covers for those free chairs, there might be a way to make such an approach to marketing furniture profitable.
Dixon has always done things his way. Born in Tunisia in 1959, to a French-Latvian mother and an English father, he moved to England at the age of four. He went off to art school but dropped out after a few months, then started playing bass guitar in a band called Funkapolitan (and once appeared on Top of the Pops). After a motorbike accident, he learned to weld while fixing his bike and his first designs used his newfound skills in turning industrial scrap into furniture.
Despite greater demand for designer furniture and the myriad education and training options for nascent designers in the UK, Dixon doesn't believe that it would be easy for somebody to break through in a similar manner.
"In a way, it should be easier now to get started, because there are more people interested in design. London has become an epicentre of design. When I started it was the Eighties – Thatcher years, and culturally bereft, so I could build my own aesthetic. I could rebel against Memphis – that plasticky, pastel-coloured post-modernist stuff. Or chrome-and-black yuppie furniture. There was something to be the opposite of. It's hard to be anti-Establishment now. Everybody's trendy and radical now – even the big brands."
It was as creative director of the biggest of those British brands, Habitat, that Dixon became a household name. He remains a non-executive director at the chain today, consulting on strategy. "It was a big job," he recalls. "Six thousand pieces in a range and we'd change 40 per cent of that per year. That's a lot of design."
His eponymous brand was effectively on hold during that period, and Dixon jokes that its relaunch four years ago now makes him an up-and-coming designer. Alongside his own company, he has a stake in Artek, a modernist Finnish furniture company founded in 1935 by the architect Alvar Aalto, among others. And Dixon is keen to expand into new areas. First, interiors. He has just finished Shoreditch House, the five-storey private members' club that is the latest addition to Nick Jones's Soho House empire.
An interiors project on a rather more macro scale is his re-design of 100% Design, the trade fair at Earl's Court that has showcased British design for the past 13 years. As creative director of the fair, which is open to the public on its final day, he has updated the boring, boxy grid system to allow new and established exhibitors to create their own identities. "When it started, it was very small and nobody in London was really talking about design. Previously, all the fairs here had been about nostalgic 18th- and 19th-century decorating. The Americans used to come over, and still do, to get traditional textiles, Arts and Crafts, Laura Ashley stuff. The focus is on contemporary now and that's been speeded up by 100% Design, because it sets out to affect taste."
Dixon's own stand will present his new collection, called Metallic. Using cast iron and hammered brass, for its materials it recalls his first work with scrap metal. But pieces like his Beat light, a vessel similar in shape to the water containers carried by Indian women, are far from raw in appearance.
How does Dixon predict that British interiors will change in the near future? "I think there's going to be a reaction against the flowery, over-decorated everything that's going on at the moment. And that will be compounded by the fact that people will at some point realise that they have too many consumer goods, whether it's mass-market clothes or iPods and their chargers. I'm hoping that people will have a more selective approach. In terms of style thought, it's hard to tell because since we can access so much now, everything becomes legitimate. It's like music.
"Years ago, you used to be able to say, 'This person's heavy metal, that person's punk.' Now, everybody listens to everything. Interiors are still a mish-mash and I can't see how we get out of that – perhaps to a new type of purity? It's possible that the designers that survive are those who manage to define a specific identity and who have a small cluster of global population that recognises it. So yes, I think people will stop buying into so many different aesthetics and search for something a bit more pure."
What has he not yet designed that captures his imagination? "There are a thousand things I haven't designed yet. I'm doing personal projects that are interesting, too – like my own house, which is a conversion of a concrete water tower. But there's motorbikes and kettles and toasters and aeroplanes and all kinds of domestic artefacts. Toys that haven't been done – where do I start? Almost everything. There's almost a limitless world out there."

breeding cherry barbs
im breeding some cheery barbs and i put them in a tank today that i set up for them. they already seem like there doing there thing but i just wonderd if any1 knew wat there eggs look like. as in wat size realy small or if u can just about see them :?:
Did you provide them fine-leaved plants? Their way of spawning is by depositing the eggs among fine-leaved plants. Ambulias and cabombas prove to be quite useful.:)
yea i stuck a load of that in there.
perhaps this idea may be of some help
a fine mesh placed on top of leaves,
then when the eggs are layed they will stick to
the debris under the net,and the parents won't be
able to eat them.
and from what i can read on the net,
you can see them.
yea thats a good idea. ill try that if i dont get any luck

The new literary phenomenon The Hunger Games, along with its sequels Catching Fire and Mockingjay are at number three on the American Library Association's List of Most Frequently Challenged Books of 2011, for apparently being insensitive, anti-ethnic, anti-family and satanic. In many ways, being on the list this shows the books are doing something right. Entries for this decade include Of Mice and Men, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Catcher in the Rye, The Color Purple, as well as the children's series His Dark Materials and Harry Potter. That's some pretty illustrious company. However, their entry brings two questions to mind. Firstly, have the people who made these accusations actually read the book? And secondly, why should we allow ANY book to be banned?
Having read the Hunger Games trilogy, I cannot deny that they contain a of of violence, blood, gore, pain and suffering. They are certainly not bedtime reading for a child of six. But they do not glorify or encourage violence, nor are the violent actions of the protagonist needless or senseless – she kills in order to survive – and one of the major themes of the book is how the killing of children leads to the loss of humanity in society.
However, there is no obvious reason to say these books are anti-ethnic. Suzanne Collins includes important characters from a wide range of ethnicities, from the black-haired, olive-skinned Katniss, to the blond hair and blue-eyed Peeta and the 'dark brown skin and eyes' of Rue. All come from the poverty-stricken Districts; all must face death in the Hunger Games. In fact, the most worrying thing has been the racist reactions of some 'fans' to the casting of African-American actors as dark-skinned characters in the film adaptation, saying that the casting of black actors ruined the film for them.
Equally, I do not understand how these books are anti-family. The heroine constantly puts herself in danger to support her family and is willing to risk her life to save her younger sister and the loss of members of her family has a devastating effect.
Also, could someone to point out exactly where, in a book which contains no mention of religion, Suzanne Collins is advocating Satanism? I would love to know where that one came from.
Reading literature is never a subjective process, and I accept that others have every right to disagree with my interpretation of a text. But I cannot accept that anyone anywhere has the right to dictate what other people are reading, and while there are many books which are not suitable for some children, this should not lead to books being no longer accessible to all.
When I was twelve I read Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, another on the list of banned books. The dystopian world of state-mandated sex, drugs, social engineering and psychological conditioning had me shocked from the first chapter. But I couldn't put it down. It made me think, made me question, made me challenge ideas and beliefs. It forced me to expand my horizons. In short, it did what all the best literature should do. Did it terrify me? Of course. Was it good for me? Absolutely. What hope have we of nurturing intelligent, enlightened, balanced individuals if we constantly try to shield them from the slightest contact with the uncomfortable and controversial? To me it is more than a little ironic that people are trying to prevent the reading of books which criticised authoritarian censorship.
I'm not saying that other twelve year olds may not be ready for Brave New World. Emotional maturity has nothing to do with how old you are, and different topics affect people in different ways. In my experience, a child won't read what it can't handle. But ultimately it is up to parents to judge the suitability of their own child's reading material, and if they are concerned about a particular book I would suggest they read it themselves before making a decision. By trying to get the booked banned they force their personal parental decisions onto other parents, and support the control of access over literature.

Hello all,
I am in a situation where I need to use a control to display an image and pan it on drag. Also this control will have to be able to zoom into the image on pinch, but I've been told that there is no pinch event in Cascades so far, so let's focus on the pan element. When the user touches the ImageView (on touch) it should be able to move as the finger moves. I know that ImageView doesn't support this functionality, but what approach should I take to incorporate this?
Let's say I've loaded the image from some path and I have a QImage stored somewhere. I've used it's data to display an Image in ImageView. How do I implement panning in ImageView? Or if it can't be done, how should I create an image control that can pan (for now) and zoom (in the future)? Basically, I am looking for a Cascades equivalent of this Native functionality example called Gestures: https://developer.blackberry.com/native/sampleapps
I don't need all the functionality of that example. I need information how to pan an image in a Cascades control.
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Take a look at https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/cascades/docum
This shows moving, responding to touch events.
Thanks, but it doesn't help much. I need to implement an image control similar to the example given (Gestures in the native SDK), not a slider-like control. Perhaps such a control should use the native functionality, but how do I link native functionality. For example, can (and if yes, how) I use a ForeignWindow to display the Gestures example functionality to cascades? Or if I shouldn't use ForeignWindow, how can I recreate the Gestures functionality? Now, that is the question.
Gesture support is not available through Cascades yet, but it should be coming. Once there you can extend the functionality of ImageView and add support for zoom.
Currently you are able implement the logic to pan the image by responding to touch events (Down then Move) as noted by Stuart. This could then be expanded to handle gestures once APIs are available.
And that is exactly what I am asking. How do I implement panning with ImageView? Do I move (translate) the ImageView control in a container smaller than the ImageView itself? (Since you can't control the underlying image.)
Is it even possible the container to be smaller than the item it contains?
I know of the touch events, I don't need zooming for now. I need advice on how to implement the pan. All that's been given so far is generalization and nothing specific.
Yes, you can place an element in a Container smaller than the size of the element but the Container will need to be made scrollable (scrollMode: ScrollMode.Both) so it knows to allow the larger child element to extend past its bounds.
For the Pan, just take a look at the PullMyBeard sample, it shows how to listen for touch events and move an ImageView with the touch movement:
If you have any issues implementing please let us know.
Was Garett's answer sufficient? If so, please accept his solution.
Thanks for the answer. I was able to test it just now, so that's why I delayed selecting the answer.
For anyone wondering, if you want to control the pan, you'll need to set the layout of the Container to AbsoluteLayout and then set the translation and/or scale of the component you are moving in onTouch. That's what PullMyBeard does.
Scroll mode::Both works as well, but it automates the scrolling, so you won't get much control over the pan it I you need it.
