Azille is a French commune in the Aude department in the Occitanie region of southern France.
The inhabitants of the commune are known as Azillois or Azilloises.[1]
Azille is located at the foot of the Montagne Noire some 25 km east by north-east of Carcassonne and 25 km west by north-west of Narbonne. The commune is traversed by the D610 from Homps to Puichéric in the south-east and also by the D11 from La Redorte to Rieux-Minervois in the west. Access to the town is by the D206 from Rieux-Minervois which goes to the village then continues north-east to Pépieux. The D72 comes from La Redorte in the south and passes through the town going north to join the D52. The D272 goes north-west from the town to La Livinière. The D606 goes south-east from the town to Homps. Apart from a large lake in the east of the commune (the Lac de Jouarres), which also forms the departmental border between Aude and Hérault, the commune is all farmland. Apart from the village there is the hamlet of Vaissiere in the west.[2]
The Aude river forms the south-eastern border of the commune with the parallel Canal du Midi passing through the south-east of the commune. Several streams rise in the north-west of the commune and flow south-east to join the Aude including the Ruisseau de Georges, the Ruisseau de l'Etang de Jouarres, and the Ruisseau de l'Aiguille.[2]

Azille contains Prehistoric remains of past civilisations including cremation graves from the iron age, many of which are preserved in the Olonzac museum. There is a superb Roman villa displayed at Billery and there is a statue of Silenus in Greek style, which could be a representation of the Satyr Marcyas, displayed in the Archaeological Museum of Narbonne. The recent discovery of a Visigothic necropolis at the edge of the village indicates habitation since earliest times.
In the Middle Ages, Azille was one of the most important towns in the Archidiocese of Narbonne. In the 14th century the village supported the church of Saint Julien which was part of the chapter of Saint Just of Narbonne. There were also two convents: the Franciscans and the Royal Abbey of Saint Clare. Unusually, apart from the episcopal city, the town was the only one to have two parishes: Saint-Julien and Saint-André. The parish of Saint-André, which is known today only from ruins and the name of a quarter in the town, was united with Saint-Jacques-de-Béziers in 1096, then with the Abbey of Lagrasse in 1118, then finally with Saint-Sebastian-de-Narbonne.
Saint-Julien was the seat of the Archpriest of Minervois. In the 14th century it was made a "county": Azilhan lo Comtal which it remained until the end of the 16th century. A town free of all lordly power from 1483, it belonged to the crown and its arms were those of the king. It was administered by an elected council.
Built on a rocky outcrop, the town was surrounded by walls with multiple doors and towers both round and square. The city became too crampd inside its walls and several suburbs were created to the east beyond the Narbonne gate - the oldest of which had its own wall.
At the beginning of the 13th century Azille was part of the Cathar inspiration and contained a house of Perfects which was destroyed in the period of the Albigensian Crusade. In 1289, 63 years after the death of Francis of Assisi, Eustache de Lévis founded or restored the convent of Franciscans outside the walls to the north of the city. In 1331 his daughter, Isabelle de Lévis - widow of Bertrand de l'Isle, founded The Royal Abbey of Saint Claire (the Abbey of Poor Clares) inside the walls. The remains of the walls and some monuments are still visible today.
The town's economy was traditionally based on wheat: Azille wheat being highly prized in the 19th century. The commune was also the largest producer of olive oil in the region and there was also wine. The multitude of springs in the area allowed tanners and drapers to prosper.
By the end of the 19th century, with the arrival of the railway (the Moux to Caunes-Minervois line), further commerce developed which in turn led to building large houses such as the Château Gallimard where the musician César Franck stayed. The Canal du Midi, built in 1666, traverses the commune for four kilometres. There is a lock in the commune and the Riquet de Jouarres bridge.

In 2010 the commune had 1,188 inhabitants. The evolution of the number of inhabitants is known from the population censuses conducted in the commune since 1793. From the 21st century, a census of communes with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants is held every five years, unlike larger communes that have a sample survey every year.[Note 1]

It contains a chapel of the Brotherhood of Saint Jacques with statues and shrines in gilded wood. This chapel was used as headquarters for the brotherhood of pilgrims. Azille was once a starting place of pilgrimage to Compostela. The church also houses one of the finest achievements of Southern Gothic sculpture: a Virgin and Child[11] in polychrome stone, considered one of the finest achievements of Gothic sculpture of the 14th century in southern France. It was displayed as such in two exhibitions in Paris notably at the Grand Palais. The church contains several items that are registered as historical objects:

The chapel has a basilical plan with three naves and three apses. The tripartite nave and two of the apses date back to the 10th century. Part of the vaulting over the nave was built in the 11th century. The capital to the south of the choir was attributed to the workshop of the Master of Cabestany. It was created in the 12th century during the reconstruction of the great apse.
- The old Chapel of the Poor Clares (15th century).[23] It was decommissioned and sold to individuals under the French Revolution, the remains can be seen in the church square.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PLAINTIFF,v.CHRISTOPHER JOHN GORMAN, DEFENDANT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: F. A. Gossett United States Magistrate Judge
Defendant Christopher John Gorman appeared before the court on Wednesday, March 6, 2013 on a Petition for Offender Under Supervision [4]. The defendant was represented by Assistant Federal Public Defender Richard H. McWilliams, and the United States was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Nancy A. Svoboda. Through his counsel, the defendant waived his right to a probable cause hearing on the Petition for Offender Under Supervision [4] pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.1(a)(1). The government moved for detention. A detention hearing was held. Since it is the defendant's burden under 18 U.S.C. § 3143 to establish by clear and convincing evidence that he is neither a flight risk nor a danger, the court finds the defendant has failed to carry his burden and that he should be detained pending a dispositional hearing before Judge Bataillon.
1. A final dispositional hearing will be held before Judge Bataillon in Courtroom No. 3, Third Floor, Roman L. Hruska Federal Courthouse, 111 South 18th Plaza, Omaha, Nebraska, on April 4, 2013 at 2:30 p.m. Defendant must be present in person.
2 The defendant, Christopher John Gorman, is committed to the custody of the Attorney General or his designated representative for confinement in a correctional facility;
3. The defendant shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity for private consultation with defense counsel; and
4. Upon order of a United States court or upon request of an attorney for the government, the person in charge of the corrections facility shall deliver defendant to the United States Marshal for the purpose of an appearance in connection with a court proceeding.

ReplyDeleteits soo easy ...thnx for its such a fabulous idea...one query 2 ask..is it necessary 2 pick a plain (nonprinted t shirt 4 dis???
ReplyDeleteI just did this and it's adorable! I used one of my huband's long-lost t-shirts (he has dozens - he'll never miss it!). Took me a little longer than 5 minutes, only because I had to trim edges to eliminate jaggedy bits, and I started with a smaller cut around the neck and went back several times to cut more out so it would fit looser.
This is perfect for Florida, where we like the layered look, but don't need the extra warmth! Thank you!
Wow so simple, yet so elegant. Am making some for our schools spirit shop, adding studs, rhinestones and handpainting! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't wait to grab a pair of scissors and a t-shirt. What an amazing idea - and I love the scarf look too. Thanks!

How do you keep the cut edges from looking choppy?? I used a long sleeve t and when I cut out the sleeves, they were too curvy and didn't hang nicely at all! The back of mine got too skinny too!
ReplyDeleteLove the vest and the video! Thanks for sharing the idea :)
I made mine with a large instead of an xl. It still turned out great, but it's just about hip length on me so I don't have to worry about it getting caught on stuff at work.
Wow... I happened across this on Pinterest... this is awesome, can't wait to try it :o)

Hello folks,
I've narrowed down my search for a DAC+amplifier for my brand new HE-400s to the following options:
- (JDS Labs) ODAC+O2
- DACport LX + [(Fiio) E11 OR JDS Labs cMoy]
I can get either combination for just less than $300.
Which option would you recommend? I'm hearing mixed reviews about ODAC and O2... some people love both, some people think the ODAC can be screechy and fatiguing and the O2 lacks bass impact, among other things.
I think it's generally accepted that the DACport LX is superior to the ODAC. However, if I get that, I have less than $100 for an amp. Out of $100 amps, I gather that the E11 and cMoy are best, but I can't decide which has better synergy with the HE-400.
The O2 is probably better than the E11 or cMoy, but I can't afford that if I get the DACport, and I'm not sure if the HE-400 (being a low-impedance headphone) would even benefit from the additional amping power of the O2 over the E11.
Other suggestions are welcome as well, but the budget is $300!

"truth has been permanently banned." - Prince EWS

We're on iTunes - why not give us a review?
Jordan's not a total mug with the willow. Has an FC average in excess of 20.
Still think there's an element of "spiting the Windies" about his selection.
Agree about Ravinder tho; bowling pretty well here to be fair to him, but kinda a victim of his own success; gone well as a part-timer, so gets trusted with a full compliment, which isn't really his go.
250 would be a winning score, I'd think; I'd say 225-240 more like par.

Botham talking plop non-shocker.
How is it a "shocker" if Hawkeye has it clipping the stumps. I'd accept "marginal", but no way a howler.
The Aussies have fought their way right back into this. George Bailey in good touch again.
First look at Stokes, been keen to see him do his thing. Looks excellent.
Wade in decent nick here actually, looks pretty crisp
Bailey very impressive once again
You know Tredwell's in trouble when Root is seen as a safer option by his captain.
Bailey in the top-6 = yay, another guy who excels at scoring 40-80 in long-form cricket.
Bailey and Wade seeing who can be first to hit one into the next county.

"Save America's Treasures" has been totally eliminated—the largest Federal program supporting preservation of such treasures as the original Star Spangled Banner and George Washington's tent.
65% of Americans don't know what happened at the Constitutional Convention, according to a recent survey by Newsweek.
The "Teaching American History" grants—the largest Federal program supporting history education—have been completely eliminated.
Visits to the Top 20 Civil War battlefields have dropped in half from 1970 to 2009 according to official National Park Service statistics.
40% of Americans can't identify whom we fought in World War II, according to a recent survey by Newsweek.
A quarter of Americans believe Congress shares power over U.S. foreign policy with the United Nations, according to a recent Annenberg survey.
"There is little that is more important for an American citizen to know than the history and traditions of his country," John F. Kennedy wrote in American Heritage.
The "We the People Program," which touched some 30 million students and 90,000 teachers over 25 years, has been completely eliminated.
Two-thirds of Americans could not correctly name Yorktown as the last major military action of the American Revolution, according to a recent national Gallup survey.
The National Heritage Areas and Scenic Byways program, the only major Federal program encouraging visits to historic places, has been completely eliminated in Congressional committee.
This is an example of an English gun barrel or musketoon barrel of a style typically found aboard ships during the latter half of the 17th century, and throughout the 18th century. Though commonly referred to as a blunderbuss, the English Board of Ordnance distinguished flaring muzzle shotguns with barrels less than 20-inches in length as gun barrels, and those over 20-inches as musketoons. With a length of 27-inches, this example clearly falls into the latter category. The letter V beneath a crown indicates that the weapon had been "viewed" and approved for testing. Read more »
Two hand grenades were found attached to a pewter platter recovered in 1998. The grenades are cast iron spheres packed with gunpowder and pierced to accept a hollow wooden fuse. The fuse also contained powder and a paper match, and was lit and thrown at the enemy with devastating results. Occasionally the fuse was too long, giving the intended victims the opportunity to return the grenade to the pirates. Identical examples were recovered from the pirate ship Whydah Galley, lost off Cape Cod in 1717.
Bar-type shot are represented in the cannon ammunition assemblage. These contrivances consisted of two parts connected by an iron bar. They were used at close range to slash through the rigging and sails of an enemy ship.
Of the cannons that have been cleaned, four were loaded and each contained waddage used to pack their respective cannon loads. Since most cannons recovered from shipwrecks are not loaded, these cannon and their contents contain important information concerning naval artillery practices from the early 18th century. The variation of the fiber types used to make waddage indicates that sailors used what ever pieces of old ropes were available. The cordage scraps, generally made of hemp, were picked apart and combined to form the wads for any one of the cannon.
Cannon 3 is a cast iron 6-pounder, 7-feet in length (base ring to muzzle). The trunnions are slightly conical in shape with no visible foundry markings and are cast below the centerline of the tube. Several features suggest that the gun was produced in Sweden. English guns typically have pronounced reinforces while Cannon 3 has a more angular, single-cone shape with the sides forming a nearly straight line from the vent field to the muzzle astragal. Likewise, the muzzle swell appears more angular in shape than the typical English tulip swell. Read more »
Brass quillon block with gold gilding and blade fragment from a small hunting sword will also be exhibited. The ornate scroll work and fancy handle design were unusual for pirate gear, so the sword may have been acquired on some adventure. It was recovered in 2007 and has been conserved.

RE:Fishing Ireland? A must see post...
much of the best salmon fishing is in the NorthWest, no doubt about that, but the whole West coast is alive with fish. The sea trout which suffered terribly during the 80s and 90s (salmon sea cages... ) are begining to recover.
The Western Loughs fished very well this year, most trout were over 2lbs and boats were recording record catches. Lough Corrib did best.
That is the merest of reports, there were bluefins caught off Donegal to 530lbs and blue sharks caught on the fly. Theres a lot to do here if you have the time, money not so important, nearly all the fishing is free or very cheap.
Anyone coming to Ireland should make sure to get in touch and I can put them in touch with the guys on the river banks and send out loads of brochures (selling nothing just telling of Irish fishing).
And if I am availible, I would love to meet anyone coming through either over a flybox or a pint... that's a promise

Sansevere's Huddle: Guess which team — Vikings or Gophers — has the better quarterback
- 30 October, 2012 //
- Vikings //
- Tags :
There is a lot of excitement about Gophers true freshman Philip Nelson, who lit up Purdue with his passing. Unfortunately for Vikings fans, the excitement over Christian Ponder has receded over the past few weeks. Pioneer Press reporter Marcus Fuller, sports editor Mike Bass, and TwinCities.com sports web producer Kevin Cusick join Pioneer Press sports columnist Bob Sansevere in a lively discussion about the quarterbacks. They get into an even livelier discussion about former Vikings tackle Bryant McKinnie, who is being sued by a strip club for allegedly failing to pay $375,000 for services.

Committee on Safety of Medicines
This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
The Committee on Safety of Medicines (CSM) was an independent advisory committee that for nearly 40 years advised the UK Licensing Authority on the quality, efficacy and safety of medicines.
Following the thalidomide tragedy of 1957 to 1961, in 1963 the government asked Sir Derrick Dunlop to set up a committee to investigate the control and introduction of new medicines in the United Kingdom. In June 1963 the Committee on Safety of Drugs (CSD) was established. As a result of the subsequent report to the Department of Health, which reinforced the need for specially trained doctors in the pharmaceutical industry and academic departments of medicine, Dunlop became the first chairman of the Committee. In 1970, the CSD was replaced by the Committee on Safety of Medicines (CSM). The CSM was one of the advisory committees established by the Medicines Act 1968.[1][dead link]
It was replaced on 30 October 2005 by the Commission on Human Medicines which combines the functions of both the Committee on Safety of Medicines and the Medicines Commission.

Girls Season 2 Episode 3 recap: Because cocaine
I will openly admit to having been a huge fan of MTV's Jersey Shore, but if there's one thing I didn't understand about the show — one thing among many, I guess — it was the timeline. People went to the club, came home, went back to the club, ate ham, went back home, puked in the hot tub and made pasta, all seemingly before the sun came up, and I could never tell if it was 11 p.m. or 5 a.m. It was with that in mind that I decided to write this week's Girls recap as a theoretical timeline, since — and maybe I'm just old and not very cool — the episode involved Hannah, Marnie and Elijah all doing nighttime-y stuff seemingly in the middle of the day. Here we go:
1 p.m.
Hannah meets with a Vice magazine type editor who encourages her to work outside of her comfort zone — because that is where the magic happens — by doing a bunch of coke and writing about it. Please email me if your editor has ever assigned this "story" to you. I might have a few "pitches" for him/her.
2 p.m.
Hannah asks free-spirited Jessa, who is for reasons unknown (growing up? Becoming the person she is meant to be?) selling lots of her clothing, where she might buy some cocaine. Marnie suggests Laird, the junkie in her former (and Hannah's current) apartment, who hangs out around the mailboxes. All junkies hang out around mailboxes, Shoshanna — who has become "stroppy" since she and Ray began laying around in bed all night watching Ally McBeal — concurs.
3 p.m.
Hannah meets with Laird, the dimly lit apartment-dwelling, turtle-owning, POM Wonderful-drinking former — oops! — junkie, who agrees to buy cocaine for Hannah regardless of his warning that she not go down that path, because he has always wanted to do something for her. Maybe it is because he likes the magazines she subscribes to since, by the way, he has been creeping her magazine subscriptions and, oh, can hear everything that goes on in her apartment. He says that last thing with the sort of twinkle in his eye that can only mean "I have masturbated to your sex noises."
4 p.m.
Hannah and Elijah prepare for a night of cocaine consumption. They are going to go dancing. They are going to wear mismatched fruit-print corset-flower-print boxer short combinations. They are going to enjoy the musical stylings of Andrew Andrew, who are "brand consultant/iPad DJs." They are going to start doing coke, right now, at 4 p.m., human decency be damned.
5 p.m.
After probably the funniest Girls scene yet, during which Elijah and Hannah share their rapid fire coke-fueled hopes and dreams with one another ("I want to visit a prison!" "I want to learn how to properly write a cheque!" "I want to breed show dogs!") the pair head out to the club? Guys wait. It's still light out.
5:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, over at Marnie's Lounge of Inequity, Damien Hirst-lite contemporary jerkface artist Booth Jonathan shows up, insults Marnie to her face and drags her out of work — in the middle of her shift to literally no objection from her or anyone else — to his apartment, where they will have sex. He says that — he says he is taking her away to have sex with her. It seems Marnie has not forgotten that Booth Jonathan is a man, and he knows how to do things.
6 p.m.
Hannah and Elijah arrive at the club. Right? How long could it take to get there? I know 6 p.m. seems super early, but when Marnie and, er, Booth arrive at his apartment, it's as light as it was when Hannah and Elijah tweaked their way onto the subway. At the club, Team Best Roommates Ever are the sexiest non-sexual couple in the room (or so they think). They dance like nobody is watching (which they do not think, but they do not care, because cocaine). Hannah trades shirts with a man whose shirt is actually just mesh netting, which means we are seeing Lena Dunham's breasts. We now know Lena Dunham's breasts better than we know our own. Hannah and Elijah NEED TO DO MORE COKE. I'm jumping around a little here, but that's what happens when you do a bunch of coke and head to a rave before dinnertime.
7 p.m. ish?
Marnie arrives at Booth Jonathan's apartment, where he first shows her a dollhouse inspired by dreams and real-life events, painted in blood, and then locks her into a tube of televisions each displaying images of carnage, death and suffering (and bacteria?) to the dulcet tones of Duncan Sheik's 1996 hit "Barely Breathing." She emerges, shell-shocked and is comforted by Booth's warm embrace. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? Is this whole thing not a little rape-y, or at least coercive? He traumatizes her with dead dogs and 90s adult contemporary in order to ease her frightened soul into physical affection? What would Damien Hirst think?!
(Or, alternately, is Marnie faking the whole thing because she just doesn't care about anything anymore and empty sex is the only way to fill the void left empty by the departure of her kind-hearted boyfriend and braggable curatorial job? Probably this. But probably Booth Jonathan is a sexual offender as well.)
8 p.m.? 9 p.m.? What month is it and what time should the sun be setting?
Hannah and Elijah dip into the can for a few more lines and Elijah starts getting honest. He usually hates Hannah's nipples, but tonight he loves them. Cocaine is like therapy. He slept with Marnie. OH WHOOPS. And here is where we learn a very important lesson about cocaine, and drugs in general: Just because you are on a fun wavelength where everything that should normally have consequence now seems insignificant does not mean everyone around you is also on that wavelength, especially regarding matters of the heart — they either are, or they're on the complete opposite side of the fence, where everything suddenly carries much MORE gravity. And so it was that Hannah freaked out in the club bathroom, dunking her head underwater and generally just throwing a very vocal fit (and be honest: Who among us hasn't heard a girl scream "Did you come inside her?" to her male compatriot in the bathroom of a nightclub at 9, 9:30 latest on a Wednesday night?).
10 p.m., maybe
Booth Jonathan and Marnie are having sex. "Look at the doll," Booth Jonathan says. "How does she feel?" "Sassy," Marnie replies. "No, she's sad," Booth Jonathan corrects her, before asking whether she's on the pill and letting out some seriously stomach-churning orgasm noises. Marnie rolls over and looks at him. Marnie laughs in his face. Match point: Team Marnie.
10 p.m., also
Hannah and Elijah are at the drugstore — or the "night kitchen" — shopping for who knows what. They run into Laird. He has been following them. He offers them heroin. Why does this happen? It doesn't matter. Hannah receives a text from Marnie saying she's at Booth Jonathan's house, at which point Hannah reveals that Marnie made her walk past Booth's house repeated times last summer, presumably after the two first met when Marnie was not just a lowly hostess. So Marnie has had the hots for Booth all this time! Shame about the jackrabbit sex then, huh, Marnie. The three — Laird is now following Hannah and Elijah, but obviously — head to Booth Jonathan's house.
11 p.m., tops
The three arrive at Booth Jonathan's house. Hannah spills the beans to Marnie that Elijah spilled the beans to her and — in a moment of great Girls resolution — describes in detail why Marnie is, in fact, the wound. "What makes you a good friend is not doing something that you know will intentionally really hurt another person," Hannah says, which is what Marnie did. Marnie is a bad friend, and while Hannah says she will continue to be friends with her, she will not continue to live with Elijah.
Midnight, and that's pushing it
Hannah and Laird make out. They are adults, and they know how to do stuff. Like drugs.

What is up myign! Your lightning guy has arrived with another update on my indie game. For those of you who still don't know, I'm making a new 2D platformer game with a 8 bit style look on the Game Maker engine. If you want to see my past update then the link is right here: http://www.ign.com/blogs/lightningman22/2014/02/04/a-update-on-my-indie-game
Cough up.....good, now let's continue
Earlier I stated that the game's story might change to something else and....yeah It's changed. I hate doing this but in the end I was going way over my head and explaining the story in game would be much harder than actually making levels or other things overall. Also this game will have no more Flappy Bird type element in it. It's because of a few bugs and I didn't want to shut down my PC knowing that I have to go to my local hardware store to repair the spacebar on my keyboard. It's for the better guys. I also might add lives or a health bar to the game while making it NES hard but still, I'll do my best on making the controls good and responsive while making the difficulty fair.
After weeks of work i finally have some screenshots I want to share to show you how far in development it is in. These aren't final but at least will give you a good look at where it's in so far.
This is the new main character for the game. I'm still deciding the name though
one of the many enemies in my game
These are screenshots of the 1st level, which is short and just has you getting used to the game...kind of....
This level may get more things in it. And don't worry the other levels wont be as small as this one.
Well that's all for now! I hope you all enjoyed it!

Thanks to a boom in mobile devices and the popularity of mobile data services, customer appetite for mobile bandwidth is growing. The challenge for mobile operators is that demand is outpacing revenue growth, creating a gap that threatens the technology's economic promise. TelecomEngine spoke with Lane Liley, Director of Product Management at Tekelec, to discuss how customer experience management, among other strategies, might provide a way for operators to stay profitable while keeping their customers happy.
TelecomEngine: Obviously, operators want to cash in on the takeoff of mobile data services. But if the need for mobile bandwidth growing faster than the revenue stream, how much can operators really benefit from it? Is the gain purely economic or is it more a play to grab customers?
Lane Liley, Director of Product Management: Mobile data services present both opportunities and problems to the operator. The opportunities are available because these services personalize subscribers' devices and socially connect to others via the networks, generating new revenue streams. They generate problems because of the large bandwidth required to communicate effectively. These services therefore also represent the best way for operators to measure and improve customer satisfaction overall. That primarily translates into reduced churn and the opportunity to upsell existing subscribers with new services, new levels of service and new creative packages. Certainly this differentiation also provides opportunities to entice customers from competitors, but the top priority is understanding and serving the current subscriber base.
Analysys Mason's 2011 study, Connected Consumer Survey, indicates that nearly 35 percent of mobile broadband users want to abandon their provider within the next six months. Why is that number so high, when it seems like all the providers would have approximately the same issues?
Liley: There will always be some degree of customer churn for a variety of reasons. Some of these are within the operator's control, like network quality, and some are beyond the operator's reach, like employees switching providers when they change jobs.
The difference-maker for operators is if they can demonstrate improvement in both the network and customer service experiences -- for example, if you dial a carrier's call center and the representative responds to your problem with specifics about your individual service, device, location and root cause of the issue you're calling about, going well beyond the typical first response of suggesting you reboot your phone.
Dealing with the subscriber level is one of the things that will make a significant difference for the carriers' ability to retain customers. Even though the customer care group has the ability to talk to you about your problem, in the past they lacked detail about a cell tower that was down in your region or handset software problems. Carriers have been searching for tools that will give more network and subscriber granularity, and once they start deploying these tools and applications, satisfaction will increase and churn will decrease.
Customer "experience" seems like a subjective concept. How does one translate perception into a metric that can be quantified objectively?
Liley: Customer experience management covers a large gamut of metrics and interactions between subscribers and their service providers. At the recent TM Forum Management World conference, Susan McNeice at Yankee group defined the customer experience into four groups:
- pricing and offering simplicity
- network/services performance
- customer care
- billing
Broken down into those areas, each one has its own desires and metrics. Our focus is around the network services and performance area, and in parts of customer care. We look at the overall network traffic and subscribers' individual traffic from devices all the way through the network, quantifying it into discrete metrics such as how long it takes for a website or application to open, how many times that happens successfully, and the quality of voice calls. We focus on the network metrics in messages and transactions themselves to build a complete picture of the network and the experience for each subscriber and groups of subscribers.
The next step is where service providers gain the most value. We filter all of this data so any group within a service provider can analyze it. The network operations team, for example, will have different uses for the information than the marketing department will. The underlying information is the same, but the analysis, reports and next steps will differ based on who's reviewing it.
Are there multiple ways to approach CEM? Which do you think are most effective?
Liley: Carriers are very much interested in seeing data from the subscriber perspective and end-to-end performance data. They'd like to link the four categories Yankee Group defined (pricing and offering simplicity, network/services performance, customer care and billing) together, but that effort is in the early stages.
At this point, operators have to prioritize the network and service performance metrics.
Other than using a CEM solution, what can a provider do to ensure that their various business units -- network operations, customer care, billing and ordering -- are no longer siloed, treated as separate organizations, but can work together for cross-functional coordination to create enduring and productive customer relationships?
Liley: That's what OSS and BSS are really about. The problem is the effort and money it takes to bring those systems together. What we've done is bring a portion of those together and focus on the network and customer care elements, presenting that for different departments. We've developed a suite of seven applications specifically for those points of view, and in addition to that, to provide a seamless picture of the data. Those applications are: subscriber activity, data services management, marketing, roaming management, handset and devices, network operations, and network planning.
For example, say you're looking into subscriber activity data, and you want to investigate from the network planning perspective. You can choose to look directly at the network planning data or pass that information on to the customer care department to drill down into subscriber activity information, and then either side can run tests. The point is, these modules give service providers a seamless way to look at the data.
A CEM solution can be a helpful dashboard in terms of understanding QoE, but it has to also be tied to tools that can actually manage the network's performance. How does CEM fit into the overall network management landscape?
Liley: Step one is associating an issue down to a group of subscribers -- such as linking them to a tower with poor coverage in an affected area. At some point the operator will have to act on it and manage customer complaints.
One of the things Tekelec is doing with our other products, like our Diameter Signaling Router, Subscriber Data Management portfolio and Policy Server, is creating a closed-loop solution so that we can resolve issues as they come. We've created a feedback loop of reporting information in real time to service providers, enabling them to respond on the fly. This approach enables a network team to monitor traffic and change the dynamics of traffic flow in real time if it's affecting a particular area.
Use cases like this show the link between CEM and network management, where operators can leverage multiple products to provide applications that not only provide network visualization, but also the capabilities and "hooks" to provide a closed-loop system that carriers can monitor and address.
Are tiered-rate plans (where subscribers pay for guaranteed throughput, etc.) a good way to ensure quality of experience? Or do they just make matters more complicated for providers?
Liley: Tiered services, going beyond buckets of data, are an elegant and simple way to define the quality of service and help ensure that everyone has the network access they're paying for. Andy MacLeod at Vodafone presented at the Broadband Traffic Management event last year showing a direct link between network management and tiered plans. Once Vodafone began actively managing users based on their tiers, customer satisfaction rose across all groups. We believe this is because subscribers knew what to expect and still had quality network performance.

Top Definition
Interchangeable with the word owned. This term originated from the MMORPG World of Warcraft, where when your character dies, a box pops up that says "6 minutes to release." (Your spirit is released, which allows you to retrieve your corpse.) On player-versus-player servers, this phrase was abbreviated to "6mtr", which was uttered to signify any character death, but especially as a cry of victory when defeating another player in PvP combat: "I totally ganked that newb, it's 6mtr for him." This acronym was later sounded out phonetically, which produces the term six-meter as a synonym for "ownage." Although it came from World of Warcraft, it's started to spread to people who have no idea of its origins.
1. "Let's six-meter this bitch who's cockblocking us from getting into the dungeon."
2. "Johnny tried to pick a fight with Chuck for stealing his girlfriend, but he totally got six-metered. He had to go to the hospital."

soil sampling from long-term climate manipulatioin plots in Zackenberg, Greenland in 2012
Entry ID:
There are two long-term monitoring plots which have different dominated plant species (Cassiope tetragona and Salix arctica). Each plot has five climate manipulation treatments with five replication. In 2012, we collected 75 soil cores (15 cm depth) in Salix arctica plots to analyze soil microbial community structure and soil organic carbon quality.
Purpose: Increased temperature and the amount of cloud cover are expected in Zackenberg, Greenland in the future. Professor Anders Michelsen at the University of Copenhagen set up long-term monitoring plots to investigate effects these environmental changes on ecosystem of Zackenberg. We are studying on changes in microbes and soil properties in response to increasing summer temperature, decreasing solar radiation and changing growing periods. Geographic Coverage

Definitely a conservative perspective on events and news, be sure to check out the permanent resource section on the right. It contains a link to the 85 Federalist Papers. So, when you wonder what the founding fathers intended when they wrote the Constitution, you can read it in their own words.

The Face Of The, "Do Nothing Congress."
During the upcoming General Election, one of President Obama's many campaign memes, will be to paint the picture of himself as hero fighting a valiant effort against, "the do nothing Congress." There's just one thing missing from that meme, and that one thing of course is honesty. That really shouldn't surprise anyone though. This is a President who no matter where he is or who is speechifying to at the moment, one can always hear the theme musing from the Twilight Zone overdubbed with Rod Serling's voice off in a disembodied distance. Why should this particular meme be any different. It is all about Dear Leader after all, and his pathological narcissism. Remember, this is a man who wrote two autobiographies before he was shaving. Truth and integrity are nothing when placed in the context of his getting reelected to office.
You may be wondering what this picture is, and what is wrong with it. It was yesterday's Senate Budget Committee Meeting, and what is wrong with it is that while every single Republican on the committee showed up to discuss the single most pressing and dangerously neglected issue facing our nation today, some other people on the committee are missing. You will notice that the right side of the table is filled to capacity, while our view of them is completely unobstructed by the backs of heads that should be on the left side of the table. I believe that three Democrats eventually sauntered into the meeting which by the way, as with all committees in the upper chamber since 2006, they happen to chair. With their absence of course, there was no quorum, and hence no ability to even substantively discuss anything relating to a budget.
I'm just spit balling here, but is it possible that part of our inability to control spending may be due to the fact that no actual budget, the means by which the remainder of the world controls the checks that they write and the money that they spend, has existed since the time when the Republicans controlled completely both the Executive and Legislative branches of our government? That includes by the way, the two year period when the Democrats held both branches completely. It is also noteworthy that they once held a super majority in the Senate, and indeed were for two years completely unconstrained from even the most modest of input from the opposition party. There is no real question for anyone paying the slightest attention to pesky little things called facts, which party is taking the actual responsibility for getting a budget done, and which party is shirking their duty and pointing fingers. The Republicans in the House have proposed a budget each and every year that they have been in charge, and this year was no exception. While I agree that the Ryan proposal was too bloated, and went no where near far enough with its necessary cuts, at least he put pencil to paper, produced, and proposed an actual budget.
I, like most conservatives in this country, am pretty peeved with the Republican Party these days. They, meaning the GOP, feel entitled to my vote while at the same time have been working hard to shut me up. The only reason why I vote Republican most of the time is because the opposition party has become an openly Marxist entity. I realize that at least for now, any chance for achieving any of the things I believe are right for this nation rests regrettably with Republican electoral success. John Boehner and Mitt Romney are not the Rinos, I am. That being said, I still must at least concede that the Republicans have performed their Constitutional Duties. One of the very few duties that our Congress actually does have is to produce a budget, each and every year. Their constant creation of bigger and more powerful bureaucracies is not something which they should be involved in. Perhaps if we sent them collectively to bed with out their supper, told them no having fun destroying our freedoms until they did their homework, then they might actually do the one thing that they are supposed to do.
Take another look at that picture, which I believe to be worth one thousand words. Remember it in November when the Democrat in your state tells you during the campaign that they are a fiscally conservative but socially liberal leader who will actually help to stop Barack Obama's non frugal ways. We've heard that lie before, and we know how that movie ends. Remember it during the fall campaign when Debbie Wasserman Schultz gets on the Sunday morning talk shows and announces that the budget would have been passed long ago had the Republicans only gotten serious about actually helping to solve the problems our nation faces. I am not saying that the Republicans are perfect, but at least they are at work. Not every one can say that.

Those celebrating delivered plenty of fashion with looks that were chic, charming or downright funky, underscored by a dose of West Coast cool. Meanwhile, in Miami, the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim 2011 attracted a less studied, if more predictable, crowd with lots of shorts paired with easy white shirts, up-to-there bare dresses and, of course, the requisite peasant fare. Here, a sampling of what they wore.

The Rail Cap is an armor and glass system designed to add ballistic, blast and fragment protection to shipboard and architectural railings. Once installed, the unit creates a protected position with a full field of vision and the ability to return fire. It also serves as an effective hostile activity deterrent. The Rail Cap is ideal for use on commercial and military ships traveling in high-risk areas, as well as guard towers, prisons, stadiums, arenas and government buildings.
Rail Cap units are also effective for maritime anti-piracy use. Their universal fittings enable the units to be easily and securely attached to a variety of railing configurations. By adding transparent armor to a ship's railing, personnel are able to spot and respond to approaching threats while remaining protected from gunfire, blasts and other attacks.
Constructed of transparent armor and durable powder-coated steel, the Rail Cap is weather resistant and capable of withstanding the extremes in maritime environments. Each standard 2-foot unit provides 10 square feet of protection, up to NIJ Level IV 30-06 AP resistance. Other features include:

WDM dynamic bandwidth allocation schemes for ethernet PONs
Kwong, K.H. and Yaqoob, Hammad and Michie, C. and Andonovic, I. (2008) WDM dynamic bandwidth allocation schemes for ethernet PONs. In: 3rd International Conference on Access Networks, 2008-10-15 - 2008-10-17. (Unpublished)
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
WDM based dynamic bandwidth allocation schemes are proposed as potential future-proof upgrade solutions for access PON systems. The schemes represent cost-efficient ways to exploit the virtually unlimited bandwidth afforded by passive optical architectures whilst remaining fully compatible with the IEEE Ethernet standard for the first mile (EFM 802.3ah).

You change lives through One Great Hour of Sharing. In these weeks before the recommended OGHS offering date of March 30th, we would like to send you a weekly note with stories of how you have Changed Lives through OGHS during the past year. Thank you. We also invite generous 2014 participation.
When a tornado ripped through Illinois in November 2013, you were there to offer presence and hope. Residents of the small river town of Brookport/Unionville on the southern tip of the state were among those most affected by the tornado. Houses were twisted on their foundations. Mobile homes were uprooted. The town experienced fatalities and lives throughout the area were disrupted. The national news media was not there – but the church was. YOU were there. Through One Great Hour of Sharing you accompanied Zion UCC in the nearby town of Metropolis as they organized themselves to reach out to the most vulnerable with meals for survivors and clean-up workers. Pastor James D. Nelson, thanks you. "Your reaching out to us as we minister to the area has left an indelible imprint upon us. We are more proud than ever to be part of the United Church of Christ and the Illinois South Conference."
And now to Syria. It's not safe to stay in her home. Her children can't go outside the house to go to school. The family has to escape, moving quickly from home, jobs, life. Now she stays in a refugee camp just across the national border. It's not clear that the local government will allow them to stay, but for now the family is safe and grateful. Syrian refugees populate camps established in near-by nations. Political maneuvering in international relationships catches people in the middle. Lives are disrupted and broken. YOU have been part of providing refuge, hospitality, stability for Syrian families, now refugees. YOU have been part of the solution, making a positive difference in the world.
I am pleased to make your acquaintance in my new role with the UCC One Great Hour of Sharing as of January 1 and the retirement of Susan Sanders, administrator of OGHS for the past 13 years. During worship last Sunday my local UCC congregation celebrated the epiphany season with the song,
"I am the light of the world. You people come and follow me.
If you follow and love, you'll learn the mystery, Of what you were meant to do and be."
The music makes toes tap. The lyrics by Jim Strathdee in response to a poem by Howard Thurman give us words to proclaim "to find the lost and lonely one; to heal that broken soul with love; to feed the hungry children with warmth and good food; to feel the earth below the sky above."
I realized again that through One Great Hour of Sharing © this is just what we get to do together.
OGHS is one of the All-Church Offerings of the United Church of Christ. Your congregation can be 5 for 5 by participating in the One Great Hour of Sharing, Strengthen the Church, Neighbors in Need, and Christmas Fund offerings and through generous support of Our Church's Wider Mission (OCWM).
The establishment of an OGHS Endowment is coming soon. Help provide long-term stability for the UCC's systematic and relational participation in disaster recovery, sustainable development and refugee relief.
Sharing in God's Love,
Mary Schaller Blaufuss
Global Sharing of Resources Team Leader

The Sublime Creations of Destroyer
Destroyer, the project of Vancouver singer-songwriter Dan Bejar, has a new album out called Kaputt, a clumsy word written in very classy script on the cover. It sounds different from his last album (2008's Trouble in Dreams), which is something you could say about a lot of Destroyer albums. While Bejar's home base is a rough, folksy variation on English glam rock, he routinely derails his routine: 2004's Your Blues, for example, was a synthesizer-heavy, drum-free album that sounds like Les Miserables starring an angry Jewish cantor mid-nervous breakdown. He has released singles of himself speaking over ambient music. He has released an EP of Destroyer covers. He once told an interviewer that the innovation behind 2002's This Night was to not bother rehearsing his band before recording. The creative self-sabotage is part of his appeal: It's proof that he's concerned more for art than brand integrity.
Bejar is known as a sharp lyricist, first and foremost. His writing often deals with music and art: Why people make it, the various ways in which they are terrible at making it, the ideals they compromise to succeed in the marketplace, the spiritual void of those compromises, and other increasingly joyless topics. His observations are funny and careful; his disses are as brutal as Oscar Wilde's. ("Why do you work for the festival when you're sick of lifting spirits to the sky? 'Body' and 'soul': two words for that same nameless thing you have never known." Daaaaaaaaaamn.) His voice is needling and whiny, but it has to be: In a world where people are generally more comfortable with the words "Let's party" than "You've got to stay critical or die," whining is his best chance of being heard.
Kaputt is his leisure-rock album. Sometimes it sounds like early-'90s New Order, sometimes like mid-'80s Roxy Music, sometimes like a whole list of barely remembered bands with no discernible legacy. His disco-lite moment, sweatless and continental. There are several smooth trumpet and saxophone solos. They sound generic; they're there to conjure the idea of a nightclub, the idea of a smooth sax solo. The music has fun, but Bejar doesn't—he sounds sapped and weary. He's the smartest guy in the room and bent on walking into rooms where nobody wants to listen to him. He recently told Pitchfork that he recorded some of the vocals while "fixing myself a sandwich."
These are the juxtapositions that make Kaputt—and all of Bejar's music—smart and worthwhile. "Poor in Love," for example, is anthemic in the same way Bowie and Queen's "Under Pressure" is, the sound of skyscrapers and progress, of '80s video footage of Tokyo. But the song ends just as it finally starts to build, and concludes with the line, "Why's everybody sing along when we built this city on ruins?," which not only feels bad to sing along to, but is effectively an attack on the entire impulse to sing along. It's like getting a toy for Christmas and immediately being told it is very dangerous.

Kaputt's conceit—delivering occasionally philosophical ramblings over cocktail rock—is funny for the same reason it would be funny to have a four-year-old read a quarterly report at a shareholders' meeting: The context is sour and absurd. But Bejar is also tender, in a backhanded way. As "Blue Eyes" dissolves into ambient prettiness, he half-whispers, "I sent a message in a bottle to the press/It said, 'Don't be ashamed or disgusted with yourselves.' " As with all his albums, Kaputt's most sincere moments are also where its ironies are the thickest, and what saves him from ever sounding academic are the jokes, the asides, the murmurs of the heart—it all goes to show that despite his intelligence, he's not just a gigantic brain being wheeled around in a jar.
The musical history Bejar revives here is marked by leisure and indulgence, but his imitations sound post-excess, a cold cobblestone street and a hangover. Tired, but beautifully so. Sometimes Kaputt is a facsimile of its influences; sometimes it sounds more like a kind of grotesque commentary. (The opening lines of the title track, which could soundtrack a montage of well-oiled bankers partying in slow-motion: "Wasting your days, chasing some girls all right/Chasing cocaine through the back rooms of the world all night.") Like Steely Dan's Gaucho or Leonard Cohen's Death of a Ladies' Man, it's both breezy and bitter, a contradiction, an album that grinds against itself relentlessly. The concept is lofty, so it helps that the music is entertaining—maybe his most entertaining, if not his most lyrically rigorous.
Which is an important point: Kaputt is unquestionably a Destroyer album, but the things that I think bothered people about Destroyer before—the relentlessness of the writing, Bejar's nasal, wordless, quasi-Hebraic choruses—have been toned down. The songs sound shapeless in a way that gives the album a feeling of unprecedented drift. The choruses are mantric and repetitive, and the tracks sound like they could be lengthened or shortened without losing their essence. It's the first Destroyer album that anyone could dance to (unless you like waltzing alone), and the first I can imagine anyone bothering to remix. Bejar's chokehold—his brilliant but almost repulsive intensity—is relaxed. All of a sudden, the words really need the music to survive.
The American underground—Bejar's phrase—is in identity crisis. "Yacht rock" is a concept with cache. Soft-focus opulence is suddenly a virtue. Twentysomethings are making music they would have shit on as teenagers. In LCD Soundsystem's prophetic words, we're reeling in "Borrowed nostalgia for an unremembered '80s," but the nostalgia has shifted from an alternative sound (post-punk) to a nauseatingly marketable one (in a word, Loggins). The trick now is to make cool what never was, usually with rhetoric and a lot of echo.
Bejar doesn't hide behind these pretenses. His faith in the sound is a rebuttal to his irony. He's in deadlock with himself. His love is bitter and strange that way: He prods and pecks and criticizes, but still sounds passionately invested in everything he does. The Destroyer paradox is that every album Bejar makes contains at least one argument for why it shouldn't exist. The beauty of the paradox is that he makes them anyway.
