Our ability to bring new medicines to patients in need and to find new uses for our current products is dependent upon our demonstrating safety and efficacy and a favorable benefit-risk relationship through systematic testing in patients who volunteer to participate in our studies.
Since 2002, we've brought 13 new products to patients in need -- patients with cancer, HIV/AIDS, psychiatric disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic hepatitis B virus infection and diabetes.
Approval of a new medicine for marketing often marks just the beginning of a continuing scientific effort to determine the full range of benefits for patients. Throughout the course of a medicine's patent lifetime, Bristol-Myers Squibb continues investing its scientific talent and financial resources to further define the compound's role in the management of serious disease.
The clinical research process is a long and expensive one. Industrywide, it may take an investment of more than $1 billion and 10 to 15 years for a drug to advance from benchtop to bedside.
In clinical trials, investigational drugs are often compared with approved drugs or placebo (inactive pill, liquid, or powder) to assess safety and effectiveness. Clinical trial participants may be assigned to take:
Clinical trials are classified under four phases:
Phase I: Researchers test an investigational drug for the first time in humans by giving it to a small number of healthy volunteers to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range and identify side effects.
Phase II: The investigational drug is given to a larger number of people who have a particular disease or condition, to determine its effectiveness and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase III: Several hundred to several thousand people with the appropriate disease or condition participate in these trials. The investigational drug undergoes additional testing to further determine its safety and effectiveness, monitor side effects, and compare it to commonly used treatments.
Phase IV: After a drug is available by prescription, additional information is gathered to assess the drug's risks, benefits and use.
There are certain requirements which must be met to be eligible to participate in a clinical trial. These requirements are based on such factors as age, gender, the type and stage of disease, previous and current treatments, and other medical conditions. Medical insurance is not required to participate in clinical trials or to receive study-related medical care and services.
If you are eligible and decide to participate, an informed consent document will be presented to you. This document includes information about the clinical trial and what you can expect as a participant, as well as potential benefits and possible risks associated with the research.
You should take your time and read carefully through the informed consent document. When you are satisfied that all of your questions have been answered, you will be asked to sign the document.
As a participant, you may be asked to:
According to the National Institutes of Health (www.clinicaltrials.gov), there are multiple benefits and risks associated with participating in a clinical trial.
Clinical trials that are well-designed and well-executed are an approach for eligible participants to:
There are risks to clinical trials:
Here are some questions you may want to discuss with the study doctor:
What is the purpose of this clinical trial? How long will I be in the trial? How often will I need to go to my clinic/hospital? What tests and procedures are involved? Will my medical records remain confidential? Is there a chance I will receive a placebo? What are the benefits and risks associated with this trial? How do those benefits and risks compare with those of my current treatment? Is followup care part of this study? How will my condition be monitored? What safeguards will be in place for my protection? Will results of the trial be provided to me?

Michael Jackson doc gave him drug before death
Michael Jackson's personal physician administered a powerful drug that authorities believe killed the singer, a source told Associated Press yesterday.
Dr. Conrad Murray allegedly gave the King of Pop the anesthetic Propofol in the 24 hours before he died on June 25.
The Texas-based cardiologist has been the focus of a manslaughter investigation despite his layers saying that Murray never prescribed or administered anything that could have killed Michael.
Police have interviewed Murray twice since Michael's death, and a third interview which had been scheduled for last Friday was postponed after the police and DEA agents searched the doctor's office and storage unit, looking for evidence.
The L.A. coroner's office is waiting on toxicology results but is expected to release a final autopsy report this week. (Yahoo)

Run Time:

Following the sudden and tragic death of his brother, British expat Jack stays stateside to help his sister-in-law (Alicia Witt) raise his unborn niece. Now it's five years later, Jack's visa is expired, and he's facing deportation back to England. I DO is a heartwarming and genuine film about love, family, and all the things that make us human. With the sad prospect of leaving his niece and his career as a fashion photographer behind, Jack asks his best friend Ali (played charmingly by Jamie-Lynn Sigler), who happens to be a lesbian, to marry him to save his visa. But when Jack falls for a handsome Spaniard, his friendship with Ali is put to the test and she begins to feel that risking her freedom for his visa isn't "happily ever after" enough. With the grips on his family, friends, and lover loosening by the day, Jack must reprioritize all that he knows and loves before it's too late. Award-winning and an audience favorite at gay film festivals all over the country, I DO reminds us all that love is the tie that binds and that two little words can change everything. – T.W.

Gibson's "Workhorse" of Rich Tone and Smooth Playability!
The Gibson J-45 Standard is a part of Gibson's top-selling J-45 "The Workhorse" line, first introduced in 1942. This round-shoulder, dreadnought acoustic guitar is known for its full, balanced expression, its warm bass, and its excellent projection - much of which came through subtle changes to the bracing of its forefather, the J-35. The J-45 Standard features all that rich tone, thanks to its AA-grade Sitka spruce top and pattern-grade Honduras mahogany body. And, for unbelievable onstage tone, there's a premier active pickup system installed on the Gibson J-45 Standard.
Gibson J-45 Standard Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:- "The Workhorse" features choice tonewoods for incredible tone
- Rosewood Fingerboard with Rolled Edges and Dot Inlays
- L.R. Baggs Element Active Acoustic Pickup System
- Round Shoulder Style
- Classic Gibson Craftsmanship
Known as "The Workhorse," the Gibson J-45 body style is among Gibson's most beloved. This particular workhorse features a superb blend of tonewoods, giving you rich, strong sound - day-in, day-out. The J-45 Standard features a AA-grade Sitka spruce top for presence, while pattern-grade Honduras mahogany adorns its back and sides. Other touches include hand-scalloped, radiused top bracing, a tapered dovetail neck joint, and a single-ring rosette with three-ply binding.
Rosewood Fingerboard with Rolled Edges and Dot InlaysThe Gibson J-45 Standard's fingerboard comprises high-grade rosewood, which is personally inspected and qualified by Gibson experts before it enters the Gibson factories. It's a resilient and durable wood, making way for a balanced and stable fingerboard, and giving each chord and note enhanced clarity and bite. The dot inlays on the J-45 are made of genuine mother-of-pearl, and are added to the fingerboard using a special Gibson process that eliminates gaps and doesn't require fillers. What's more, the J-45 Standard's fingerboard boasts a rolled edge that's lightly beveled, which enhances the instrument's smooth playability.
L.R. Baggs Element Active Acoustic Pickup SystemThe J-45 Standard comes with L.R. Baggs's popular Element Active Acoustic Pickup System, which features a low-profile undersaddle transducer that's proven more stable and durable than many standard ribbon-type pickups. Combined with an onboard preamplifier with an unobtrusive and removable volume control, mounted just inside the soundhole, the Element is a tremendous performer. Its sleek and effective design removes unnecessary internal components to enhance the coupling between the pickup and the guitar and improve the sensitivity of the transducer for a robust, lively, and natural acoustic sound with excellent dynamics and delicate high end. The Element works with a standard 9V battery, which is housed inside the guitar in L.R. Bagg's new "Battery Bagg."
Round Shoulder styleDescending from Gibson's large HG Hawaiian guitar in 1929, and the original "Jumbo," introduced in 1934, Round Shoulder Dreadnoughts are steeped in Gibson tradition and lauded for their pure, rich tones, and impressive volume. With smooth lines, and a curvaceous shape, Round Shoulder style guitars invite a close relationship with their respective guitarists: their body shape makes these guitars easier to hold and more comfortable to wrap your arms around.
Classic Gibson CraftsmanshipGibson's reputation as a fine guitar builder dates back to the late 1800s. Handcrafted since day one by some of the most skilled luthiers around, Gibson acoustic guitars have inspired countless players around the world. When you pick up a Gibson acoustic, you know you're getting the finest tonewoods, quality hardware, and incredible attention to detail - these instruments are built to sound great and stand the test of time. After moving from Kalamazoo, MI, to Nashville, TN (where Gibson electric guitars continue to be made), Gibson finally settled their acoustic operation in Bozeman, MT, where they continue making some of the finest guitars on the planet by hand.
Gibson J-45 Standard Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:- Antique Natural Finish
- Nickel Grover Rotomatic Tuners
- AA-grade Sitka spruce top
- Pattern grade Honduras mahogany back and sides
- Plain tortoise tear drop pickguard
- Single-ring rosette consisting of three-ply binding
- Rosewood Fingerboard with Rolled Edges
- mother-of-pearl Dot Inlays
- L.R. Baggs Element Active Acoustic Pickup System
- Hand-scalloped, radiused top bracing
- Gibson Logo
- Tapered Dovetail Neck Joint
- Radius Top
- Nitrocellulose Finish
- Body Binding
- Includes Hardshell Case

(15 November 2004 - Raleigh, NC) Environmental Defense today commended North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper for filing suit against the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the nation's largest public power company, for violating pollution control requirements mandated by the federal Clean Air Act. Sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and other pollutants created by TVA's coal-fired power plants blow into North Carolina, threatening the environment and exacerbating heart and lung disease, asthma and other illnesses.
"North Carolina and other Southeastern states should salute Attorney General Cooper for suing TVA, which sends huge quantities of unhealthy air pollution across the region," said Michael Shore, senior air policy analyst with Environmental Defense. "TVA has said that it wants to reduce pollution. But citizens can't depend on promises to produce results. Attorney General Cooper's action can turn TVA's words into a legally binding commitment to protect our children and grandparents from dirty air."
"This action is good news for the people of North Carolina, good news for the people of Tennessee, and good news for everyone who breathes in the Southeast," said Shore. "TVA should take a page from North Carolina's playbook on improving air quality. The state cleaned up its polluting power plants with the Clean Smokestacks law, but to fully clean its air, North Carolina must get sources in upwind states to do the same. So far, TVA has made only voluntary commitments to reduce pollution, and it's time to make those commitments legally binding."

Rodgers charged by FA
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been charged by the Football Association for allegedly questioning the integrity of referee Lee Mason.
In his post-match comments following the Boxing Day defeat at Manchester City, the Northern Irishman appeared to question whether it was correct to have an official from Greater Manchester in charge of the game.
As a result he has been landed with an FA charge to which he has until 6pm on Wednesday to respond.
"Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been charged by The FA over post-match media comments he made following his side's game against Manchester City on 26 December 2013," the FA said in a statement.
"It is alleged the comments by Rodgers called into question the integrity of the match referee, and/or implied that the match referee was motivated by bias; and/or brought the game into disrepute; and/or amounted to a failure to act in the best interests of the game."
After the City defeat, Rodgers was particularly angry at the decision to disallow a Raheem Sterling goal for offside, despite the player being at least two yards behind the last defender.
"I thought they were horrendous in terms of performance," he said of the officials at the time.
"I thought it was throughout the evening. Hopefully we don't have another Greater Manchester referee again on a Liverpool-Manchester game.
"I was surprised we are playing in Manchester and have a referee from Greater Manchester.
"I am sure we won't get (for) Liverpool-Man City someone from the Wirral."
The day after the game Rodgers insisted he was trying to make a valid point and did not intend to slight Mason.
"In terms of geography, I certainly wasn't questioning the integrity of referees," he said.
"It was more than logical (as a comment) in terms of having a referee from that part of the world refereeing a game in Manchester.
"I wouldn't suspect that Mike Dean, from the Wirral, has refereed many games for Liverpool over the years.
"I was only speaking honestly after the game. I think the FA and the Referees' Association know perfectly well I am someone who engages in supporting the referees."

A feminine figure seems to glide toward you, wearing pink bell-bottom pants with a white symbol printed on one leg. It also has a pink beenie-like hat on that covers where its eyes would be, with a long, pink, braid-like growth sprouting from under the cap. It also seems to be wearing dark, heeled boots with toes that point up at sharp right angles, as well as dark bracelets on each wrist, both with a small spike on them. It also has dark armor that covers their chests. This armor is worn somewhat like a halter top gown, as it exposes the Dancers' shoulders and terminates in a collar. Its hands lack fingers and its mouth looks to have been sewn on into a permenant, eerie grin.
The Dancer is a high-ranking Nobody controlled by Demyx of Organization XIII. Dancers move quite gracefully, gliding across the ground while their feet glow pink.
Combat Edit
The Dancer has a very effective fighting style. It will kick vigorously for an extended period of time. Each kick sends the foe a few feet into the air. The most deadly attack comes when the Dancer is sliding with glowing hands, called Dancer's Kick; if one touches an opponent while doing this, the dancer grabs them and jerks him around in a dance before kicking him for high damage. They are difficult to defeat in large numbers. Another attack is that the Dancer will grab the foe by his head, skate around, and fling him into the air, this attack is called Dizzy Dance. The Dancer also has the ability to Flurry, but only into its regular attacks, and cannot Flurry after using its full-round Spinning Kick attack.
Dancer's Kick(Ex)-->: If the Dancer makes a successful grapple check, as a swift action they may Hard Kick the opponent as if they had rolled for Critical.
Dizzy Dance (Ex)-->: If a Dancer starts a round with an opponent grappled, they can make another grapple check to deal 2d8 of bludgeon damage. The foe is also dizzy for 1 round.

proof of concept (POC)
Proof of concept (POC) is documented evidence that a potential product or service can be successful.
Developing a proof of concept can help a product owner to identify potential technical and logistical issues that might interfere with success. It also provides the opportunity for an organization to solicit internal feedback about a promising product or service, while reducing unnecessary risk and exposure and providing the opportunity for stakeholders to assess design choices early on in the development cycle.

It's a scientific fact that people who are easy on the eyes have easier life paths. I know this to be true because an unlicensed therapist told me this once, so don't try to dispute it. This statement can be especially true when it comes to attention-seeking, self-destructive, obnoxious celebrities! People seem to forget that a famous person can be attractive and a total douche. One doesn't cancel out the other! (Yes, faithful members of Bieber Youth, I'm talking to you.)
Here is my list of celebrities we have an easy time forgiving–and an even easier time forgetting their dark deeds–because they happen to be conventionally attractive. Sigh.
1. Alec Baldwin
He used to just be that handsome, funny guy who hosted SNL a lot and eloquently-but-hilariously tore down politicians and other celebrities we can't stand. Now he's an aging, desperate-for-attention, self-awareness-lacking, hate speech-filled, Twitter-ranting, verbally and physically abusive guy who's married to a "I didn't even know who he was when I met him because what are celebrities and now I host a tabloid TV show and have tens of thousands of Twitter followers" wife, undoubtedly a perfect match.
2. Britney Spears
Far be it from me to come down on someone for having a mental breakdown, which is exactly what happened to Britney back in 2007. But this is someone who has demonstrated more than a few times she might not be showbiz material anymore (which would be completely fine if we all just accepted it and let her be). Quit trying to make Britney happen, everyone. She's probably not going to happen.
3. Russell Crowe
What's a few phones thrown at photographers when you're a ruggedly handsome Australian? Abuse, schmabuse. His temper is almost as terrifying as his singing voice in Les Mis.
4. Kim Kardashian
She demands attention and we keep giving it to her, so who knows where the fault realy lies. But you can bet your bottom dollar that we'd be a little less forgiving of her stupidity, porn star status, and cultural appropriation parties if she wasn't incredibly good looking.
5. Colin Farrell
Guys like this are always dubbed things like "Hollywood bad boys" as though they're characters in a Jackie Collins novel and we're all just drooling over their law-breaking antics. Riddle me this – would we be so quick to get over his probable alcoholism and subsequent run-ins with the law if he looked like Steve Buscemi? Probs not.
6. Katherine Heigl
Rumored to be a notorious, insufferable bitch on set and off, Katherine Heigl will probably never be fully removed from Hollywood and the rom-coms she detests so much because she's insanely beautiful. Not. Fair.
7. Justin Bieber
While this particular little asshole does nothing for me or my ladyparts, he apparently revs a lot of teenage girls' budding hormone-fueled engines. I will admit he has a particularly pretty face, so there's that. All I can say is I hope if I ever have a daughter some day, I raise her to be smarter than to find guys like this "dreamy." Gag.
8. Lindsay Lohan
Look, her heyday has come and gone. Post Mean Girls, though, Lindsay was a hot commodity for sexist men's magazines and radio personalities to talk about. She's not unattractive now, per se, but she's looking a little… weathered. That being said, if she didn't show off well-lit selfies and a little sideboob now and then, we'd probably have written her off for good a loooonnng time ago.
9. Christian Bale
Another verbal abuser who gets in physical altercations! But he's Batman and looks really good in a suit, so all is forgiven. I'm just as guilty as anyone else with him, though, because regardless of his sketchy behavior the second I saw him posing for pics with those Aurora shooting victims I melted into a puddle of "awwww."
10. Adam Levine
See? SEE? You can be conventionally attractive (not my particular cup of tea, but you know) AND a total douche bag! He's even admitted he's a douche! But ladies love this guy and seem to not be bothered by his irritating personality.
11. Rihanna
I mean, come on. If she looked like a total Monet (know your Clueless references, people) she wouldn't have been able to pull of this look. And we'd probably be wayyyy tired of her by now, what with being late for concerts and getting back together with Chris Brown.
12. Selena Gomez
She can't really sing that well, and her acting is… well, come on. There's no way she'd be anybody if she wasn't so pretty. Not to mention breaking up and reuniting with #7 on this list every other day. I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up having a Britney-ish meltdown before the end of the year.
13. Naomi Campbell
This woman has been the instigator of many a physical altercation, cat fight, and overall bitchery more times than I can count. But she's a super model, and super gorgeous, so who cares, right?
14. Paul Walker
Oh Paul. I'm not usually one to "speak ill of the dead", but just because people die doesn't mean they weren't flawed human beings. He was a beautiful, beautiful man and I loved his performance in Pleasantville (though not much else), but he also had a penchant for dating younger girls. Like, really young. Like teenagers. More than once. In no way is it ever acceptable for a man in his thirties to start a "relationship" with a girl who's 16. I don't care what her parents thought about it, I don't care what you think about it. It. Is. Not. Okay. But everyone rushed to his defense immediately, and I think it had a lot more to do with the fact that he was gorgeous and not because he was actually in the right. /end rant.

Steamboat Springs If the old adage holds true that brains win out over brawn, then the Steamboat Springs High School math team flexed some serious mental muscle on Thursday during Colorado State University's "Math Day."
"Mathematically speaking, it doesn't get any more exciting than watching the math team bring home a first-place trophy for the second year in a row," said high school teacher Lisa Ruff, who accompanied the team on the trip to Fort Collins.
"Sixty-four teams from around Colorado and neighboring states put 300 of their best math minds to the task," she said. "And Steamboat walked away with the small school division (championship).
"The highlight of the day was a college bowl-like competition, which features a full, double-elimination tournament with three-member teams from each of the schools," Ruff said.
Junior Charlie Stoddard, along with seniors Austin Pivarnik and Sam Chovan, represented Steamboat. Chovan also won a new desktop computer during the competition.
Three fifth-graders from Strawberry Park Elementary School traveled with the team to cheer on Stoddard, Pivarnik and Chovan.
"High School athletics always get most of the acclaim, but the young ones looked up to the older students like they were rock stars," Ruff said. "It's nice to see some students receive some accolades for academics for a change."
Also competing in the event were freshmen Michael Savory, Jeff Sperry and Lorin Paley.
"Although the trio failed to place, they'll be back next year, shoulder-to-shoulder, with Stoddard, who hopes to sweep the small school division for the third time," Ruff said.
The high school's forensics team also had reason to celebrate last week as the team ushered in a new season Saturday with a handful of medals at a four-team competition in Rangely.
Ten students participated in the tournament, and every member returned to Steamboat with a medal around his or her neck.
The team garnered four first-place finishes, four second-place finishes, three third-place finishes and two excellent ratings.
Each student was allowed to compete in two events.
"Steamboat swept the creative storytelling round with Paula Ninger, Sarah Hill and Molly Parsons placing first, second and third, respectively," Ruff said.
Ninger also received an excellent rating for her humorous interpretation piece.
The Sailors forensic team travels next to Moffat County to participate in the Bulldog Invitational on Thursday and Friday at Moffat County High School.
"Because Steamboat is so isolated, and to get a level of competition we want, we have to travel," Ruff said. "Steamboat has done traditionally well in speech and debate."

The littlest things are often a big deal when you have S.A. and Avpd, Ive been obsessing since I got this invite to a Pinkly Party, if you don't know what it is, its for women and its a Mary Kay party (makeup). I just flat out don't want to go not just because of S.A. but because I don't like Mary Kay stuff, I like my own makeup and also I won't buy anything if I go. Now I know, its not just the buying stuff and trying on makeup, its spending time with the ladies and just kicking back, but I'm only going to know one person there, and thats the one who invited me. Ive turned this into such a huge deal in my head, I have to let her know by this saturday if Im going or not. I feel I come across as too intense if I were to say no, and explain why. I feel so sensitive to the persons reaction...

Maybe if you just use the reason of only liking your own make-up. There are many women who have their own favourite make-up and don't like to bother with any other brands.
This way, you won't have to worry about her reaction, because it has nothing to do with not wanting to go because of the SA or only knowing one person there.

Will they be serving alcohol? Well, that would just be silly. I mean, makeup and alcohol may not mix very well. Don't mind that question. I'm drinking right now....
You might end up having fun and meeting some really nice people if you go. What's the worst that can happen?
I guess the worst that could happen is they think Im a snob, because I am pretty quiet and prefer to observe, also I'm awkward at saying goodbye, when the whole deminstration is done I'm afraid I'll run out the door lol..like okay c-ya lol, which is what I prefer to do. Im awkward at announcing that Im leaving.
And Im hoping there will be alcohol but I don't know.

You don't have to go, the decision is yours.
Just like any event, people have different reasons to go.
Maybe this isn't your scene and you enjoy do things more suited to your style.
Or go with a friend, that way your not on your own and they can do all the talking!

I think you should go, but it's totally up to how you are feeling about it.I don't like parties much either and I loathe the day one approaches. But in retrospect, I'm always glad I go, even when I make a completely fool of myself.

just remember anyways, its absolutely fine to not go. as long as you know you wont beat yourself up about it afterwards
Yeah, that's my problem. I always beat myself up afterwards if I don't go.

If you know you won't enjoy yourself, then don't, you'll only end up feeling terrible during the party; that clearly can be seen through you by your friend and it'd put pressure on her to keep you entertained. I noticed this when my friend tries to get me to be more sociable, but it just doesn't work out. Tell your friend, she will not mind. But if you feel like you want to go, give it a try, always push yourself, usually it turns out good, if it doesn't, you can always go home early. It's okay to leave early, I have done it plenty of times and nobody minds.

I only ever went to one party in my life, and that was in year 11. It was so boring- I nearly drifted off to sleep. I'm still not sure what possessed me to attend. Everyone were just eating, drinking and talking. I just sat alone, acting antisocial.
I left early. Deciding that parties are not for me.
If you like socializing and talking to people, then go. If not...well, all I can say is - it's going to be a very depressing experience.

I hate how you kinda feel obligated to buy something at those parties. I went to a PartyLite Candle party a few years ago. Someone I had taken dance classes with called me up to invite me. It had been a year since we both quit and we hadn't kept in touch. So I went. She invited a few others from dancing but none of them came so I didn't know anyone else. I felt a little uncomfortable but it wasn't too bad. I ended up buying some $20 candle and that was one of the cheaper ones. I'm not big into candles. They're okay and all, I just think these ones cost a lot more than they're worth. So she called me when it was in but I couldn't meet her to get it right away cause I was too busy. And then we ended up playing telephone tag for a bit, leaving messages and not able to meet. But I'm horrible when it comes to making phone calls. So I kept putting off calling her back and hoping she'd call me instead. I kept meaning to call and then I'd stare at the telephone and pace around, feeling nervous and unable to call until I'd decide to wait until another day. Eventually I gave up even intending to call. Never did get the candle. I bumped into her in a store a few months back. We talked for a few minutes but I didn't say a word about it. Waste of 20 bucks but it's no big deal. Whatever.

You are afraid of leaving them sooner? Wow I have the same prob.
I always find it hard to say ''Sorry, but I have to go''
I think they would judge me on that.. I mostly wait till everybody's gone and then say it to 1 person. Or I make plans that I tell them before the party that I can't stay too long. And sometimes I just tell the truth why I'm leaving so soon.
people need to accept it right? That's real friendship.
But my advice is, Just try to do it! Maybe you'll miss something fun!
I have met some friends out of a party, I had the chance to make more social contacts. Although I cried before the party started, Because I was too anxious.
But hey! I did it, and I had lots of fun! Just try to enjoy yourself.
Okay, try it. You'll be fine. It's just the tresh-hold anxiety. You can't walk in the door, because you are afraid of what'll happen. Just fight yourself through it.
And try to be happy for yourself, when you did it.
Good luck !!!

Hey, thanks for all the advice everyone! You guys gave me strength..I ended up talking to her on saturday and told her Im gonna pass on the party. She said "oh you dont have to buy anything" and then she made a joke about how at first people thought it was a sex toy party..then we both changed the subject and just talked about other things. But I never went back on what I said, even though she said "you don't have to buy anything". To me it doesnt matter, its just something Im not interested in, and I dont like Mary Kay products, Id prefer to be true to myself even if its just a measly party.
The party is actually next Friday, so it didnt pass yet.
But thanks you guys for your understanding, I dont think I would have had the nerve to just be honest if it wasn't for you.

This article describes a collection of historical records available at FamilySearch.org. | |
Access the records: England and Wales Census, 1841 .
Record Description
This census covers those living in England and Wales on 7 June 1841.
Census schedules consist of large sheets with preprinted rows and columns. The schedules are arranged by county and then divided by civil parish, while some are further subdivided into smaller enumeration districts, each district being an area that could be enumerated in a day. The only exception to this is the 1841 census, which was arranged by "hundreds" (administrative subdivisions of land). For reference purposes, the National Archives assigned a piece number to each enumeration district and stamped a folio number in the upper right corner of each right-side page. The number refers to entries on both sides of the page (both the recto and verso of the folio).
The Registrar General created censuses for various reasons, including population studies, accessing military readiness, compiling lists of eligible voters, and tracking relief to the poor.
The information gathered by the census taker is only as reliable as the person who provided the information. While some information may not be completely accurate, it can still provide important clues in locating an ancestor.

Fill in the requested information in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the ancestors in the list to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to look at several images and compare the information about the individuals listed in those images to your ancestors to make this determination.
Using the Information
When you have found your family, carefully evaluate each piece of information about them. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors.
- Use the age listed to determine an approximate birth date. This date along with the place of birth can help you find a birth record. Birth records often list biographical and marital details about the parents and close relatives other than the immediate family.
- Birth places can tell you former residences and can help to establish a migration pattern for the family.
- Occupations listed can lead you to employment records or other types of records such as school records; children's occupations are often listed as "at school."
It is often helpful to extract the information on all families with the same surname in the same general area. If the surname is uncommon, it is likely that those living in the same area were related.
Be sure to extract all families before you look at other records. The relationships given will help you to organize family groups. The family groupings will help you identify related families when you discover additional information in other records.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- Married family members may have lived nearby but in a separate household so you may want to search an entire town, neighboring towns, or even an county.
- You may be able to identify an earlier generation if elderly parents were living with or close by a married child.
- You may be able to identify a younger generation if a young married couple still lived with one of their sets of parents.
- Additional searches may be needed to locate all members of a particular family in the census.
- You should also be aware that the census may identify persons for whom other records do not exist.
General Information About These Records
There are various marks within the census that can also provide help to identify families. A single forward slash mark "/" meant the end of a family, while two forward slash marks "//" showed the end of the occupants in that one dwelling.
The census taker usually rounded the ages of those older than 15 down to a multiple of 5. Beginning with the 1851 census, the information listed includes names, ages, parish and county of birth, occupation, and relationship to the head of the household for each person. The census record may also list the birth country for people born outside of England.
There are missing images in various areas that did not survive. FindMyPast provides a detailed listing as well as Ancestry.co.uk; note that Ancestry's information is further down on the web page. If you are unable to locate your ancestor in this census, it is a good idea to make sure that the area they are living in survived and was digitized; otherwise, you will not be able to locate them in this census record.

Hi all,
I'm wanting to zoom into a native screen, are there any code samples or anyone have any advice or suggestions to help me acheive this goal please? I'm ok with understanding how to catch the events but what to do after that is blank to me right now.
I've searched native forum for zoom only and the 5 results are irrelevent.
Thank you.
Sorry I don't think I have provided enough information in my last post, I am blitting ffmpeg video image data to native screen_window_t currently and it is working ok, the code is below. Going off the lack of samples or posts about this in native seach I am think the code below is where I would start.
if(got_frame) { int rc; printf("got frame \n"); fflush( stdout ); uint8_t *srcy = decodedFrame->data[0]; uint8_t *srcu = decodedFrame->data[1]; uint8_t *srcv = decodedFrame->data[2]; printf("got src yuv frame \n"); fflush( stdout ); unsigned char *ptr = NULL; screen_get_buffer_property_pv(externalbuffer, SCREEN_PROPERTY_POINTER, (void**) &ptr); unsigned char *y = ptr; unsigned char *u = y + (600 * stride); unsigned char *v = u + (600 * stride) / 4; int i = 0; for ( i = 0; i < 600; i++) { int doff = i * stride; int soff = i * decodedFrame->linesize[0]; memcpy(&y[doff], &srcy[soff], 1024); } for ( i = 0; i < 600 / 2; i++) { int doff = i * stride / 2; int soff = i * decodedFrame->linesize[1]; memcpy(&u[doff], &srcu[soff], 1024 / 2); } for ( i = 0; i < 600 / 2; i++) { int doff = i * stride / 2; int soff = i * decodedFrame->linesize[2]; memcpy(&v[doff], &srcv[soff], 1024 / 2); } screen_buffer_t screen_buffer; rc = screen_get_window_property_pv(externalscreen, SCREEN_PROPERTY_RENDER_BUFFERS, (void**) &screen_buffer); printf("after render buffers %i \n", rc); fflush( stdout ); int attribs[] = { SCREEN_BLIT_SOURCE_WIDTH, 1024, SCREEN_BLIT_SOURCE_HEIGHT, 600, SCREEN_BLIT_END }; rc = screen_blit(externalscreencontext, screen_buffer, externalbuffer, attribs); printf("after blit %i \n", rc); fflush( stdout ); int dirty_rects[] = { 0, 0, 1024, 600 }; rc = screen_post_window(externalscreen, screen_buffer, 1, dirty_rects, 0);

I have found the gestures samples and have been using that as a reference to help have my video include pinch to zoom functionality.
It seems I don't fully understand the sample although I am pretty sure I have read it carefully. The write up for this sample doesnt seem to give any detail about min size and max size.
What I need to happen when the pinch/ zoom in occurs is the area where I zoom in I need to become more in the centre of the screen.
Also when I zoom back out, how do i ensure that it only scrolls out to how it was originally along the same point? (at the moment my screen can go all over the place but other apps seem to have a nice zoom in/out going on).
I have posted my code below which is basically the same as the sample - I'm hoping somebody has implemented this already and would share how it's done.
struct gestures_set * set; int viewport_pos[2] = { 0, 0 }; int viewport_size[2] = { 0, 0 }; int last_touch[2] = { 0, 0 }; #define MIN_VIEWPORT_SIZE 128 #define MAX_VIEWPORT_SIZE 4096 /** * The callback invoked when a gesture is recognized or updated. */ void gesture_callback(gesture_base_t* gesture, mtouch_event_t* event, void* param, int async) { if (async) { fprintf(stderr,"[async] "); } switch (gesture->type) { case GESTURE_TWO_FINGER_PAN: { gesture_tfpan_t* tfpan = (gesture_tfpan_t*)gesture; fprintf(stderr,"Two finger pan: %d, %d", (tfpan->last_centroid.x - tfpan->centroid.x), (tfpan->last_centroid.y - tfpan->centroid.y)); if (tfpan->last_centroid.x && tfpan->last_centroid.y) { viewport_pos[0] += (tfpan->last_centroid.x - tfpan->centroid.x) >> 1; viewport_pos[1] += (tfpan->last_centroid.y - tfpan->centroid.y) >> 1; } break; } case GESTURE_PINCH: { gesture_pinch_t* pinch = (gesture_pinch_t*)gesture; fprintf(stderr,"Pinch %d, %d", (pinch->last_distance.x - pinch->distance.x), (pinch->last_distance.y - pinch->distance.y)); int dist_x = pinch->distance.x; int dist_y = pinch->distance.y; int last_dist_x = pinch->last_distance.x; int last_dist_y = pinch->last_distance.y; int reldist = sqrt((dist_x)*(dist_x) + (dist_y)*(dist_y)); int last_reldist = sqrt((last_dist_x)*(last_dist_x) + (last_dist_y)*(last_dist_y)); if (reldist && last_reldist) { viewport_size[0] += (last_reldist - reldist) >> 1; viewport_size[1] += (last_reldist - reldist) >> 1; /* Size restrictions */ if (viewport_size[0] < MIN_VIEWPORT_SIZE) { viewport_size[0] = MIN_VIEWPORT_SIZE; } else if (viewport_size[0] > MAX_VIEWPORT_SIZE) { viewport_size[0] = MAX_VIEWPORT_SIZE; } if (viewport_size[1] < MIN_VIEWPORT_SIZE) { viewport_size[1] = MIN_VIEWPORT_SIZE; } else if (viewport_size[1] > MAX_VIEWPORT_SIZE) { viewport_size[1] = MAX_VIEWPORT_SIZE; } /* Zoom into center of image */ if (viewport_size[0] > MIN_VIEWPORT_SIZE && viewport_size[1] > MIN_VIEWPORT_SIZE && viewport_size[0] < MAX_VIEWPORT_SIZE && viewport_size[1] < MAX_VIEWPORT_SIZE) { viewport_pos[0] -= (last_reldist - reldist) >> 2; viewport_pos[1] -= (last_reldist - reldist) >> 2; } } break; }
All you're really doing is modifying SCREEN_PROPERTY_SOURCE_POSITION and SCREEN_PROPERTY_SOURCE_SIZE of your video window.
Sounds like the code you posted (from gesture sample?) spits out viewport_pos and viewport_size... You should just be able to hook those into the properties I mentioned above.
max size is obviously your video window size, and min size will be however far you want to allow the user to zoom in.
10-22-2012 03:48 AM - edited 10-22-2012 04:05 AM
Thanks Sean, thats what im doing hooking video_pos and video_size to SCREEN_PROPERTY_SOURCE_POSITION and SCREEN_PROPERTY_SOURCE_SIZE after handleScreenEvent() and then flushing screen context.
But my problem is if i zoom in - say top left of video is at 0,0 before zoom, I want it to go back to 0,0 when zoomed back out. Along the same trail. going back to the same res as well.
My video is 1024 x 600 so I don't want to see gaps when i zoom back out (I have tried disabling 2 finger pan to no avail). Splashtop remote has a good example of this.
I have again just tried to change min and max to 1024 & 600 and all I get is an horizontal zoom in then when zooming out I am left with a smaller screen when zooming out.
Is the sample meant to allow for my requirements as is? if not, is it a lot of work to implement do you think?
I can't speak to the fitness of the specific sample to your use case. I do know that I used it as a starting point for implementing zoom & pan on a photo previously which worked the same way that it does in the picture-viewer app.
If you absolutely need to back out via some "historical" path, then you will need to record that path on the zoom-in, so that you can replay it backwards on the way out. I'm not sure I understand that requirement though.. seems pretty odd.
Sean, let me try again to explain what i need as i don't think it's an odd requirement so i must be misunderstood.
If i zoom out too much or zoom out when not already zoomed in using the native pictures app it will automatically zoom back in until there is no gaps between the edge of the screen and the edge of the image. Nice.
If I zoom out again when not zoomed in using splashtop remote it won't move - again nice.
If I do the same with gestures app or with my app (gesture pinch/pan code) then I can zoom out TOO much which leaves me with a smaller video/image in the corner of the screen. I want it so if a zoom out occurs which is more than the original then it defaults to how it was before a zoom occurs - so the user doesnt end up with a tiny image.
I have tried changing the min and max but no help and I don't fully undertsand what they represent - the max width or max height? I have tried setting pos to 0 if it less than 0 at the end of gesture callback.
If someone has done zoom in native im pretty sure they would have implemented what i need to learn.
the zoom-out yielding a smaller-than-the-screen image is solely related to the MAX size from what I recall. Note that if you are not dealing with a square screen and image, you will need an X min & max and a Y min & max, and will need to do appropriate clipping/nudging to ensure things stay aligned as you require.
What you just mentioned is timely - I set max to 600 and it's seems good for height but not for width - its stretches out very wide but the height stays at 600. If I set it at 1024 the height is then the problem. Tried this many times but because you mention square image this time it makes sense.
looking at even native picture app and splashtop (the professionals!) it seems there is a gap either side of the image which probably makes them both square images - I wonder if they have gone through this already and decided for the square image rather than the bump and nudge - is the res of the images in picture app shown as a square 600 x 600 or is it 800 x 600?
Regarding the other way nudging - I did actually set x and y max values earlier (setting them to video_size[0] and video_size[1] when required but didn't get far). The nudging/clipping is probably why - any links to learn or could you give a bit more on how to do that part please?
ok cool. yah, pictures app is probably showing 800x600 for 4:3 images or 1024x576 for 16:9 images (actually, it'll be native resolution, so more like 2592x1944).
sorry, I don't have any links.. when I was implementing mine, I just sort of worked it out on paper. I'm sure if you search the web, you'll find some math on the subject.

Sheldon United Fund Meets Goal
Date posted - January 2, 2013
It looked for a while as though the Sheldon United Fund would fall well short of their $33,000 goal for the 2012 campaign.
About a week ago the fund-raising drive was about $1900 short of the goal. However, due to the generosity of an anonymous donor, the fund was able to reach their goal.
The United Fund will be assisting 23 different organizations in Sheldon and the surrounding communities, and they say thank you for your generosity, not only to the last minute anonymous donor, but to all who donated to the campaign.

Students Study Freemasonry at OSU
Worshipful Brother Jose Diaz, a Past Master of York Lodge #563 and an Associate Professor of History, is currently teaching a freshman seminar course entitled "From National Treasure to The Da Vinci Code: Freemasons, Fact, and Fiction" at The Ohio State University.
"I was really surprised by the number of students who wanted to take the class," said Diaz. "At one point, this class had the longest waiting list of any at OSU. I will teach it again in the Spring quarter, and I already have ten students enrolled."
The course syllabus states that by the end of the seminar, students will be able to:
*Understand the origins and history of Freemasonry
*Understand Freemasonry's role in American popular culture
*Search and locate information resources that are helpful in conducting more advanced research in Freemasonry and other fraternal orders
*Understand arguments for and against Freemasonry
The course will meet once a week for nine weeks. Each week will focus on a different topic. The three main textbooks for the class are S. Brent Morris' The Complete Idiot's Guide to Freemasonry, Christopher Hodapp's Freemasons for Dummies, and Mark Tabbert's American Freemasons.
Worshipful Brother Diaz will take his class on a tour of the Grand Lodge museum in Worthington, and will conclude the 9th week with a viewing of the Stonecutters episode of "The Simpsons".

Course on Freemasonry at Ohio State University
A brother forwarded this article to me from the Grand Lodge of Ohio's The Beacon (page 13):
1 comment:
Well, I know of one book reviewer who would be shocked, shocked I say, to discover that a book with such a demeaning title as "Freemasons for Dummies" could ever be considered for use as a college textbook for a course on Freemasonry. I hope his fainting couch is nearby when he reads this.

OK, you have gotten a comfy seat close to the action. The lineups have been entered into the score book and the umpire has shouted, Play Ball!! It is now time to earn your big bucks as a volunteer and score the game. There are a myriad of situations that the scorekeeper needs to understand and score correctly. This article will focus on how to score a ball hit in the infield.
Whether a base hit, an out, or an error, always record where the ball was hit in that tiny softball field in the batters score box. This way, when she comes up again the coach will know where the batter hit the ball previously so that he can adjust his defensive players accordingly believe me, this is VITAL information on which I rely as coach. I recommend picking a color, like red or green, that will stand out even if the diamond is shaded in (indicating the runner scored). Just draw a line from home to where the ball was hit. When I keep score, I also put an F, G, or L by the end of the line to indicate whether it was a Fly ball, Ground ball, or Line drive. As scorekeeper, the more information you can give your coach, the better!
What is a base hit? Interestingly, the ASA Rule book has different sections describing what a base hit is (Rule 11, Section 2.B.3) and what a base hit is not (Rule 11, Section 3):
Rule 11, Section 2.B.3: A base hit is a batted ball that permits the batter to reach base safely: a. On a fair ball which settles to the ground, clears the fence or strikes the fence without being touched by a fielder. b. On a fair ball which is hit with such force or such slowness or which takes such an unnatural bounce that it is impossible to field with ordinary effort in time to make an out. c. When a fair ball which has not been touched by a fielder becomes dead because of touching the person or clothing of the umpire. d. When a fielder unsuccessfully attempts to retire a previous runner and in the scorer's judgment, the batter-runner would not have been retired at first base by perfect fielding. |
Rule 11, Section 3: A BASE HIT shall not be scored: A. When a runner is forced out on a batted ball or would have been forced out except for a fielding error. B. When a fielder fielding a batted ball retires the preceding runner with ordinary effort. C. When a fielder fails in an attempt to retire a preceding runner and, in the scorers judgment, the batter-runner could have been retired at first base. D. When a batter reaches first base safely as a result of a preceding runner being called out for interfering with a batted or thrown ball, or with a defensive player. |
Uh OK. Basically, the scorekeeper judges whether the batter would have been out if there was nobody on base and the ball was fielded, thrown, and caught cleanly.
For example, the ball is hit to the third baseman. If she makes an error on the catch, then draw a line from home to first in the score book for the batter to show that she made it safely to first and write E5 to the right of the line. Score the play the same way if the third baseman catches the ball and then makes an error on the throw (like throwing the ball in the dirt, or 10 feet over the first basemans head). If the throw was catchable, but the first baseman did not catch it, score it E3.
Now, imagine there is a runner on first, and the batter hits the ball to the third baseman. If she makes an error on the catch, draw the line for the batter from home to first and write E5 to the right of the line. For the runner, draw a line from first base to second and put AOE above the line (AOE means Advanced on Error). If the third baseman instead catches the ball and throws it to second to try to get the out, she made the choice to not throw out the batter. The batter gets an FC (for Fielders Choice) for her line from home to first no matter what the result was at the play at second. However, if the batter would have been safe anyway, she would get a base hit. I usually give the batter a base hit in such a case if she touches first base before the throw makes it to the other base. Otherwise, I will score it a Fielder's Choice (FC).
We will worry about how to score what happens to the runner, as well as determining the difference between an error and a hit, or a sacrifice and a hit in other articles. There is a lot to cover, so we are going to take baby steps until we get there.
