Meleagris gallopavo
The wild turkey is a large, dark, ground-dwelling bird with a long neck and a fan-shaped tail. It lives in open, wooded areas throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Wild turkeys have iridescent brownish or blackish plumage. Male turkeys have a bare head and neck. The neck is bluish-gray and the head is red, blue or white depending on the season. The head and neck are covered in hair-like feathers. Males have a fleshy, wart-like appendage called a caruncle between the eyes and a pink or red lobe of skin called a wattle that hangs from the neck or chin. The breast feathers are tipped in black, and males have a tuft of rough, black feathers called a beard on their chest. The beard grows throughout the turkey's life at a rate of about 4 inches per year. Adult male beards can be 8-12 inches long. The tail is large and fan-shaped tail with a brown tip. Short, rounded wings with black and white bars. Long, powerful legs that vary in color from pink to gray. Males have sharp, bony spikes called spurs on the back of each leg. Spurs on the back of males' legs grow throughout the turkey's life. Scientists and hunters use spurs to estimate a turkey's age.
Female turkeys have a duller overall color than males, with gray heads and breast feathers tipped in white, gray or brown. Females usually do not have beards, but approximately 5 percent of female turkeys have them. Females do not have spurs.
Open, wooded areas, including fields, pastures, orchards, marshes and the edges of forests. May form bands of 30 or more birds, with groups sometimes becoming even larger in winter.
Found throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed. State programs to trap wild turkeys and transplant them to other areas have helped rebuild and expand the population.
Turkeys forage on the ground by scratching with feet to uncover food; they feed two to three hours after dawn and before dusk.
Humans are the largest predator of wild turkeys. Bobcats, raccoons, eagles and owls also prey upon adult turkeys. Many types of birds, snakes and mammals feed on turkey eggs
Turkeys can fly very swiftly; some have been recorded flying at speeds up to 55 miles per hour.
Males make a loud gobbling sound during courtship. They are known to make at least 15 different types of calls, including yelps and clucks.
Wild Turkey courtesy of Marla Greanya/Avian Vocalizations CenterTurkeys mate in early spring. Males perform an elaborate courtship ritual to attract females. The ritual includes gobbling loudly, fanning out their tail, strutting around the females, and dragging their wing tips on the ground. Males can change the color of their head during breeding season to attract a mate and show dominance over other males. Wild turkeys often locate their nest at the base of a tree that offers overhanging cover. Females begin laying one egg per day in mid-April. They lay a total of approximately 12 eggs, which they incubate for about four weeks. Eggs usually hatch around the first week of June. Males do not help care for the young. Young chicks follow their mother out of the nest within one day of hatching. They quickly learn to feed themselves, and can fly by the time they are eight days old. Young males stay with the female through autumn, and young females stay until the following spring.
On average, wild turkeys only live less than two years. However, some have been known to live as long as 13 years.

Ghost busting is a lucrative job. I don't know how much money Luigi makes as a plumber, but it can't be as much as he gets for vacuuming up ghosts. The spectres of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon are positively stuffed with coins, cash and gold bars. (And so is the furniture – the mansion's owners won't notice if you pilfer an ingot or two, right?) Granted, it's terrifying work, but it's got to be better than playing second fiddle to the world-renowned Mario every day of your life.
As with most jobs, however, the problem isn't really the money. It's the grind. How many houses can you de-spook before supernatural elimination loses its luster? The answer, I've discovered, is right around five.
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon once again casts Luigi as the unwilling assistant of professor Elvin Gadd, a bizarre little old man who speaks in pseudo-Japanese gibberish and looks like a distant relative of Captain Olimar. It seems the usually friendly ghosts of Evershade Valley are wreaking havoc, and the cowardly Luigi is the only one who can save the day. Professor E. Gadd (get it?) charges Luigi with restoring the Dark Moon – a sky-bound gem that pacifies the local undead – which was recently shattered into pieces by an unknown villain.
Why Luigi? Because it's fun to watch him get scared, of course. And Luigi is scared of everything. Ghost pops up? Panicked. Lightning crashes? Startled. Door slams? Terrified. Light breeze rolls in? Quaking in his adorable boots. Dark Moon drips with charm, from Luigi's constantly visible fear to the delightfully "spooky" music, which skews much closer to Alfred Hitchcock than Akira Yamaoka. And yes, just like in the GameCube original, Luigi hums along to it, and no, it never gets old.
In order to reclaim the Dark Moon pieces, Luigi ventures into several haunted locations, ridding them of pesky ghosts with his trusty spectral vacuum, the Poltergust 5000. Snaring a ghost with the vacuum is a bit like fishing. First, they have to be stunned with the flashlight, after which you can "hook" them with the vacuum. Then it's just a matter of pulling in the opposite direction, occasionally tapping A for a power boost, until the ghost is sucked up and trapped. The chief attraction of this process, for me at least, is that it both looks and feels like Ghostbusters, with each phantom desperately trying to escape the vacuum's "stream" until they're inevitably sucked into an electric vortex. It's tough to deny the appeal.
Outside of hunting ghosts, Dark Moon is basically an adventure game, tasking Luigi with solving various puzzles to open new pathways or locate essential items. Like any good vacuum, the Poltergust can be equipped with different attachments, and these aid in exploration. A flash bulb activates special sensors, while the "Dark-Light Device" reveals invisible objects. The vacuum itself is used in interesting ways too. Luigi can suck up rugs to uncover hidden switches or spin the rotors of a propeller to turn a crank, for example. The Poltergust can even be used to grapple onto certain objects, allowing Luigi to pull chains or dangle from ropes (or tug on the trunk of a stuffed mammoth).
Dark Moon's locations, from gloomy mansions to deserted mines, are essentially interactive haunted houses, and they serve as one of the game's strongest assets. Each is filled with traditional, kid-friendly horror tropes: animated suits of armor, exaggerated asymmetrical angles, massive cobwebs, convenient peals of thunder. They're also rife with secrets, including plenty of hidden rooms and strange devices (even the the tried-and-true bookcase secret passage), and these are always fun to discover.
Unfortunately, as entertaining as it is to wrangle ghosts and explore Dark Moon's creepy environments, the game's mission structure begins to drag after a while. Each location offers a contiguous open world, but Luigi's goals are all broken into separate missions, each one generally letting him delve further into the level. Between missions, Luigi returns to E. Gadd's secure bunker to move the story along before choosing his next mission and venturing back in.
The mission structure makes sense for a portable game, splitting it into discrete chunks that can each be played in 30 minutes or so, but it also leads to repetition. You retread the same corridors and rooms over and over again, searching for various MacGuffins – keys, machine parts, etc. Even the story often repeats itself, confronting Luigi with the same kinds of obstacles in multiple missions. You'll frequently find yourself looking for keys (or key items) to open massive, foreboding doors. If you already have a key, something is going to steal it and you'll have to get it back. It gets old.
Capturing ghosts becomes stale as well. Even though there are several different kinds of ghosts, each with slightly different attack patterns, the process for catching them never really changes – stun, snare, repeat. Later ghosts have more health, but upgrades to the Poltergust come quickly if you're diligent about gathering money, and even stronger ghosts are relatively easy to snag.
Boss battles tend to shake things up, at least. These are basically puzzles unto themselves, forcing Luigi to exploit the environment in some way – using nearby torches to burn down the webs of a giant spider, for example.
Boss fights aside, it's hard to avoid the feeling of tedium as Dark Moon wears on. The game seems to recognize as much, offering fewer and shorter missions in the second half.
Sadly, multiplayer only reinforces the feeling. The three modes randomly repurpose Dark Moon's environments and challenge up to four players to rid a mansion of all its ghosts, race to find an exit or track down mischievous spectral dogs. Unfortunately, the random environments rob multiplayer of the well-crafted charm seen in the campaign.

BSD (Berkely System
was a research operating system based on the
original AT&T Unix, developed by the University of Berkeley, California. It has
been Open Source right from the beginning, and after the university lost
interest in developing it further, several community projects started up (the
very first ones were NetBSD and FreeBSD in the early nineties) to continue
developing BSD. Anyway, Linux was born roughly at the same time, but a pending
lawsuit about copyright infringements prevented the BSD projects to become as
successful as Linux (though you could argue about the exact reasons).

Actually, there are many reasons to reject most linuxish stuff in a BSD world. The code is poor, inconsistent, revolutionary [it tends to break other things] and - many times - not needed. Systemd is a perfect example - it is a one madman's dream in a land of sane. This man's name is Lennart and he's five ... he likes to break things from time to time.

Posts like this one from Mark Phillips on Social Media in Numbers have me worried. To tantalise you with a few facts:
- YouTube is the world's second largest search engine.
- 78% of consumers trust peer recommendations. 14% trust advertising.
- 24 of the world's largest 25 newspapers have declining circulations
I work in the higher education sector, in a successful Development Office which has been established for over two decades. We are really good at major gifts. We look after and respect our donors. We have an annual fund which is steadily improving and our legacy programme alone brings in an average of £2 million every year.
Major charities seem to be losing donors, whilst philanthropic income to the UK higher education is increasing.
So HE fundraisers have nothing to worry about, right?
Well maybe.
Five years ago I was a major gifts fundraising in the voluntary sector. As a fundraiser in the voluntary sector, I was aware of constant innovation. SMS – can we use it? Will it make money? Can we engage more people? Have chuggers had their day? What's the next thing? How can we trial it? How can we combine fundraising with campaigning? How can we carry the message? Is our brand consistent?
There was considerable focus on donor acquisition and retention, with direct marketing and membership remaining the backbone of my charity's income. On a quick mental count, I would say that in 2006 my charity – a medium sized operation with a philanthropic income of over £12 million -had a minimum of twelve different types of fundraising/income generation in the fundraising mix.
In contrast, my current university has a similar philanthropic income, but a maximum of seven different income streams (trust, corporate, major gifts, reunion/event fundraising, legacies, annual fund). Instead of looking at the distant horizons of fundraising innovation, we focus on getting better at what we do best and operating at our optimum level.
Recent experience has shown me that innovation is happening in UK Higher Education Advancement circles, but is seems to be primarily in the area of alumni relations. One colleague's focused programme of new media activity, combined with a strategic events programme is yielding significant results. Alumni are flocking to join LinkedIn and engage in Second Life. Participation in a virtual world is leading to participation in the physical realm. Facebook makes is simple for new graduates to remain a part of their student society. The programme is resulting in business angels for university spin outs, in the development of industry networks and mentoring programmes. Datasets are enriched by alumni volunteering their details.
There is a challenge here, for higher education fundraisers to pick up the baton and build on what our colleagues are developing.
A survey of the voluntary sector by NFPSynergy tells us that in 2008, the following numbers of charities described web presence as very beneficial for fundraising:
- 16% of charities with a turnover of less than £1 million
- 24% of charities with a turnover of £1-£10 million
- 45% of charities with a turnover of more than £10 million (averaging over £37 million per annum)
What does this signify?
If nothing else, it suggests that the larger charities raising the most money seem to be making the most of their online opportunities.
As Mark's post suggests, social media grows ever more powerful and influential. We would be wise to pay attention to that fact.
As we continue in a recession and competition for the pound in our pockets becomes ever fiercer, the charity and the higher education sector may have much to learn from each other here.
If you are interested exploring this area further, check out this article from last year's Times Higher Education Supplement and a fascinating report from Nonprofitnext on Five Key Trends that Will Shape the Sector (US based), brought to you care of The Agitator blog.

A good way or the traditional way to start your meal is with a selection of "Mezes" and Mezes" roughly translates from Greek to English as "appetizers" but in this translation it dose not do it justice to the fundamental role "Mezes" plays in Greek Tradition. Mezes are served on small plates and placed in the centre of the table so all the family or people in your party can share and enjoy olives, calamari (fried squid) dolmades (Stuffed vine leaves) Tzatziki (yoghurt & cucumber dip) Taramosalata (fish roe dip) Meat balls, Saganaki (fried cheese) Feta cheese, Pickled vegetables, Melitzanosalata (eggplant salad).
You will find that most of the Greek appetizers are slightly salty to the taste and at times are accompanied with the odd ouzo or two. Appetizers should be eaten slowly, they are very tasty and the sole purpose of appetizers is to make the drinking easier. (So say) Mezes means to share, enjoy, and live life to the fullest!! Lunch time is very good for trying a selection of mezes and is more than sufficient as a full meal!! One thing you will find is that in most Greek tavernas or restaurants there is a limited dessert menu which normally consists of fresh fruit, yoghurt & honey at times with walnuts, Ice cream and if you're really lucky you might find some traditional Greek desserts like "Baklava or Gadaifi" these are very very rich and served dosed with lots of honey or syrup, to many of these will have you pilling on the pounds!! Corfu is a wonderfully vibrant and rich cultural experience in itself, and a wonderful holiday destination. It's a buzzing destination and easy to get to, with last minute hop-on-the-plane type tickets. Otherwise, you can optfor the convenience of a summer package and go to Thomas Cook for one of their holidays. When you're there, don't miss out on any of Corfu's classic culinary creations by working your way through this handy checklist. Eating out in Greece is a way of life for the local Corfiot people and they spend a lot of time socializing either outside their homes or in local tavernas / restaurants sharing a meal with friends and family.You will find that Greek Tavernas or Resturants are very simple and straight forward offering a selection of classic Greek or international & Greek food.Eating out in Corfu as in many other holiday destinations is totally different to eating out in the UK, so don't expect to arrive at a taverna / restaurant be seated, food ordered all within half an hour as this just won't happen because the Greeks don't do the McDonalds style of serving food!!!All I can say is when eating out in Corfu be prepared for a little wait, relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant / taverna and the company you are with and rest assured that you're not going to be kicked off the table to make room for the next person.A good and fun way of passing time is to "people watch" to see if you can spot a James Bond look alike or a top model or a TV star etc etc you will be surprised who you'll spot!! Children are always more than welcome at the Resturants / Tavernas day or night even if they run riot all over the place, some tavernas even have facilities for children like in the Rose Garden in Moratika they have a small park to the side of the restaurant with swings, slider, see-saw and a round a bout and its safe and contained away from any roads, Also you will notice there are a lot of cats on the Island, and you will find that they do tend to wander around the tables looking for scraps of food, I know it sound harsh but I will say please don't feed them in the Resturants / Tavernas, I know they are cute but please don't, If you feel you have to give them a little something then please do it outside or away from the restaurant / Taverna, Some of the Cats are quite wild and desperate and if they catch you with there claw as your dangling a morsel of food in front of them you will need to visit the doctors for a tetanus jab!Breakfast in Corfu you will find it basic and normally consists of juice, toast, butter, honey or jam and tea or coffeeand will also offer a full cooked breakfast at an extra charge, the same would apply if you were self catering you will be able to find a taverna offering cooked breakfast etc.A good way or the traditional way to start your meal is with a selection of "Mezes" and Mezes" roughly translates from Greek to English as "appetizers" but in this translation it dose not do it justice to the fundamental role "Mezes" plays in Greek Tradition.
Greek tavernas / resturants range for the very basic small intimate places by the sea, so you can eat your meal with the waves lapping the shore or to the really large establishments with very large menu's but one thing you can be sure of when eating out in Corfu that the food is very good, fresh home cooked food.Some tavernas specialise in fresh fish & lobster where you pick the fish or lobster you want from chillier cabinets or fridges others specialise in Casserole dishes and lastly grill rooms that specialise in grilled meat dishes.If you're a vegetarian you may find that the main courses are a bit limited, but more then enough on the starter / mezes menu to satisfy or if you prefer meat & fish you can be sure that the Greek menu will cover every type of eating habit.Another thing you will find is that a lot of tavernas / resturants will also have entertainment in the form on live music or at times Greek dancing or Greek party nights as some people like to call it, these are great fun, with plate smashing, traditional Greek dancers and you will be dragged up to join in, I hear you saying I'm not doing that, I tell you now it is Great Fun for all the family!!!!!!Listed below is an average cost per dish, also lobster, shell fish and local fish is sold by the kilo.A bottle of house wine costs around 7-9 euros and a glass of house wine costs around 3.5 eurosHumous 2,50 - 3,00 eurosTaramosalata 2,50 - 3.00 euros Tzatziki 2,50 - 3.00 eurosBeans in tomato sauce 3,50 - 4.00 eurosCalamari (squid) 5,00 - 6.00 eurosVillage sausage 5,00 - 6.00 euros Greek Salad 4,50 - 5.00 eurosMoussaka 6,00 - 7.00 eurosSofrito (Veal stew) 10,00 - 10.50 euros Pastitsada (Beef and pasta) 8,00 - 9.00 eurosChicken Souvlaki 6,50 - 7.50 eurosIce cream 3,00 - 4.00 eurosBaklava 3,00 - 4.00 eurosYoghurt & Honey 3.00 - 4.00 euros

Lady Gaga Makes Fun Of Lindsay Lohan@Twitter
The outspoken diva, Lady Gaga definitely thrives on controversies. Her latest is a crude tweet about Lindsay Lohan and her practice of eating cucumbers as a means of staying skinny. The "Born This Way" actress has recently been the cynosure of the media for her sheer bra and revealing dresses. It seems that she wavers between two extremes, covering herself in raw meat and then posing without any proper clothing at all. However, it isn't about Lady Gaga this time. It is her take on Linday Lohan who has also been experiencing a bad time for the last few years now.
The two controversial ladies lunched together alst week at the Beverly hills where the lady let out an envious "you skinny b****h" on taking in Lohan's slim form. However, she could not stop her mirth when she watched the extremely skinny actress order a cucumber and then proceed to slice it up with the aid of a knife. Twitter fans had an exciting time as they rushed to read Lady Gaga's tweet which went, "@lindsaylohan when you ordered a cucumber and a knife to the bar last night i thought your were gonna perform a vasectomy #justaskinnyb***h." Lindsay remained unfazed and tweeted back, "#skinnysnack1 @ladygaga hahaha."
It's fruits and veggies for Lohan when she is on a diet . she admitted as much in an interview with "The Guardian" emphasizing how she loved consuming fresh salads, sashimi and a variety of nuts. And yes, no dressing on the salad please. She's also into exotic, tropical fruits like mangoes, pineapples and papayas but blueberries, goji berries and pomegranates do help her 'up' the health quotient appreciably.
Lindsay is certainly not immune to the lure of junk food either. Its French fries from Mac Donald's and the humble peanut and butter sandwich for her when she isn't too concerned about her weight. It's a different story for Lady Gaga though who has been sporting a rather full figure lately.
Outrageous costumes and a lush figure can be turned into an advantage too. Just look at Lady Gaga! It's no wonder that she is ready to mock artists who opt to live on lemons & cucumbers now. However, should we forget that she decided to ditch food for a slim look not so long ago?

New Lemur video tutorial September 2009

New Multi-Touch Panel Component October 2009
JazzMutant's groundbreaking products Lemur and Dexter have been in short supply over the past couple months, due to a combination of unprecedented success and a complex touch panel bubbling issue which limited our output capability. The company has decided not to compromise on quality. Despite assembly improvement and quality control enhancements, the last batch of touch panels have failed to meet our standards. As a result, we decided not to resume the production of the Lemur at the moment. In order to avoid this issue in the future, we are now completely redesigning the touch panel component of the Lemur. The upside of all this is that the next batch of Lemur will feature the latest generation of our multi-touch technology: better optical performances, higher precision, greater accuracy and responsiveness. It will be clearer and have brighter colors. We plan on launching the new touch-panel component in October. We once again thank you for your patience, and look forward to sharing the excitement in October!

DAW users who want to get their mitts on Dexter's multitouch technology, but have no need for the modular/configurable approach of the Lemur, also have reason to be happy as Jazzmutant will offer the Dexter as a DAW only controller at a heavily (and permanently) reduced price - only pay for the features you need! While crossgrading from Dexter to Lemur will no longer be possible, the crossgrade from Lemur to Dexter remains an option. Jazzmutant are also relaunching their on-line store enabling users to buy the controllers direct through the company website, so not only are the controllers cheaper than ever but they are easier to purchase as well!

Introducing Dual Mode December 4th, 2007
JazzMutant introduces the Dual Mode capability for the world's most ground-breaking controllers.
JazzMutant's hands-on multi-touch controllers have revolutionized the way people interface with computers, putting stylish, futuristic and - more importantly - ultimate functional control into creative environments everywhere.
But which controller is right for you? The Lemur, a generic controller that can be set up exactly to suit your needs, allowing for intuitive multi-touch control of instruments, effects, loops, live video, or anything else you need critical hands-on control of ? Or perhaps Dexter, that comes hardwired as the ultimate controller for your DAW ?
You can now get both on one single device : the Dual Mode capability lets any Lemur or Dexter run the two feature-sets on the same machine. Since Lemurs and Dexters are based on the exact same hardware, installing the Dual Mode capability allows you to select Lemur or Dexter functionality when booting up your controller, effectively doubling the potential for your JazzMutant hardware.
The Dual Mode capability is available as a download-only item from the User Area. Dexter owners can freely upgrade to Dual Mode, and access the entire range of customization offered by the Lemur. Lemur owners can decide at any time to acquire the entire Dexter feature set for 399 euros (including VAT for EU residents).

Jazzmutant Lemur takes centre stage with Björk 2007-2008 World Tour The award-winning and revolutionary Lemur control surfaces have been wowing crowds around the world on their highest profile outing yet.
No one knows more about innovative performance than Björk, so it is perhaps inevitable that she is the first high profile artist to embrace the power and performance capabilities of the groundbreaking Jazzmutant Lemur for her latest tour, including the recent amazing performance at Glastonbury.
On stage, alongside two Lemurs, Björk sings with a 10-piece brass section that doubles as a backing band, laptop and electronics 'players' plus keyboard and percussion virtuosos. It's about as unusual a set-up as you'd expect from the world's most innovative and unusual performer, and it all combines to produce one of the most talked about live shows that's playing to stunned crowds across the globe.
Jazzmutant's Lemur control surfaces have bought the performance back into music making. No longer do computer musicians feel the need to hide behind their desktop and laptop machines on stage. With these futuristic controllers they have the ultimate playing surface to perform their music and can give their fans an opportunity to witness a real live spectacle.
Alan Pollard is the man responsible for much of the technology on the tour, while Damian Taylor is actually at the controls of one of the Lemurs on stage. Together they provide a valuable insight into how the machines enhance the experience for both players and audience alike.
"We were mixing Björk's album in London with Spike Stent last November," recalls Damian, "and Mark Bell [production, live laptops and controllers] pulled out the online [Lemur] demos that were posted on YouTube, just to say, 'aren't these cool?' At the time Björk was just beginning to think about touring the album and she really liked how strongly they represented elements of electronic music in a visual way. We wanted to see if they translated from looking cool into being a cool thing to use musically. Luckily the answer has been a resounding 'yes!'"
Damian and Mark now have two Lemurs installed as their main controllers on the tour and use them extensively with Ableton Live on pretty much every song. Of course other controllers could have been used, but few can match the power and the sheer beauty of the Lemurs, and those looks have also helped add a striking visual edge to the show.
"Absolutely!" agrees Alan. "The visual thing is important. There are specific cameras just on the Lemurs and we've put large plasma screens in front of Mark and Damian to show what is going on with them. That was originally Björk's idea, she's into anything that has got an interesting interface - she wanted people to see that this stuff is actually happening live. The electronics are very obvious and visual. In fact, we're using the Lemurs so much in the show now that we actually need a back up!"
The band are now so into using the Lemurs that they have even created several custom controller sets for the tour.
Damian: "We have 42 songs in the band's repertoire from which Björk will choose around 17 for each gig - but only a few hours before we go onstage. The fact that I could create controller sets for each song that let me perform completely intuitively was what really made the Lemur indispensable for me."
"Now that I've gotten used to the feel of the Lemur," he continues, "I actually really like the way the tactile interface encourages me to play live. I'm now fully rocking out during gigs and my body can interface with the Lemur in a totally visceral way."

Jazzmutant at Siggraph Emerging Technologies 2007 - San Diego, August 5 to 9, 2007 San Diego Convention Center San Diego, California USA
Pioneer in the multi-touch technology since 2002, Jazzmutant has been the first company to develop and market a product using a multi-touch surface, the award-winning Music and Media controller Lemur.
Many multi-touch interaction techniques have been introduced in the last few months, building a strong interest from the public, but besides focusing on zoomable user interfaces, none of them have showed how this technology can really improve productivity in a computing environment.
For years, video and graphic designers have been asking for advanced and richer control solutions, and a multi-touch input is certainly the answer to those requests.
Jazzmutant is proud to have been selected by the Siggraph Emerging Technologies Committee in San Diego to demo a new prototype device for digital imaging involving multi-touch control. This solution will go beyond mere finger-drawing and clearly illustrate a new way to interact and improve productivity with drawing and video editing software. Furthermore, the solution presented will be the very first multi-touch enabled Tablet PC shown to the public.
Join us at Siggraph to discover a new way to interact with Digital imaging softwares that just can't be achieved with touch input alone !
MusikMesse 2007 saw the world premiere of JazzMutant's Dexter, the latest addition to its range of Multitouch enabled controllers. While the Lemur's modular concept aimed at maximum versatility and adaptability, Dexter is devoted to one unique master plan : bringing the power of Digital Audio Workstations to your fingertips, in a creative and user-friendly manner. For the first time, controlling DAWs feels natural instead of adding an intermediate level of complexity. In a word, Dexter amounts to what DAW users have been longing for years : a Controller. At last.
Great ergonomics Hasn't every musician or producer fantasized of controlling their favourite Digital Audio Workstation by touching the actual user interface directly on the screen ? JazzMutant has partnered with leading software companies to make this dream a reality. Dexter redefines the very interaction between Digital Audio Workstations and the users. This laptop-sized control surface has been designed with only one purpose in mind : making user experience more pleasant, playful and efficient. At the foundation of this design lies JazzMutant's patented Multitouch display technology. At last, a control surface combines the two features that any serious controller should offer : great ergonomics for your hands and thorough visual feedback for your eyes.
Intuitive workspace One glimpse suffices to get acquainted with Dexter's workspace. Its design is crystal clear and immediately understandable. Dexter is fully self-documented : all functions are available through explicit icons. The main interface on Dexter accurately mimics the mixer of your DAW. For greater visual comfort, each individual track is drawn with a specific color that represents its current state : shades of blue differentiate active tracks from muted ones, while red or yellow backgrounds make record enabled or soloed tracks stand out from the rest. For smarter navigation a unique set of buttons allow you to rearrange Dexter's mixer on the fly. These allow instant sorting of your channels based on your needs. For example, press the View Solo button to display only the soloed tracks on the screen. With Dexter, channels you don't need never get in your way.
Unique surround control With its unique palette of tools dedicated to sound spatialization, Dexter is a dream come true for multichannel work. Its breakthrough surround panner provides live monitoring of up to eight channel positions in the surround space at one time. Sound sources can naturally be moved around using the tips of your fingers in the most intuitive manner. Dexter also introduces novel ways of reshaping the whole surround soundscape through simple finger gestures. Rotation of all your sources can be achieved by manipulating the panner just like a spinning vinyl ! Drag two fingers apart to spray all sources away from the center.
Instant navigation Dexter has been designed to offer the most immediate access to any features of your Digital Audio Workstation. The era of dreadful navigation buttons to configure tracks and devices is foregone. Dexter introduces a novel way of browsing through your project. The Track Edit mode offers a clear overview on all the parameters of an individual channel, including graphical EQ display, effects editing, bus sends, and surround panning. Dexter includes an arsenal of fancy widgets meant to make operation even more efficient and pleasant. The smart Overview widget displays a miniaturized picture of the whole mixer. Dragging a finger across it discloses the content and state of each bank of tracks.
Superb plugin interface The way common control surfaces has dealt so far with plugins is just dreadful. Dexter is the first controller ever to address this frustrating limitation. For that purpose, Dexter supplies just the right tools to master all your EQs, dynamics and effects. Dexter's beautiful EQ controller will amaze you straight away. Exactly mirroring the filter curve of your sequencer's EQ, this appealing interface particularly benefits from Multitouch technology in order to bring spontaneity and precision to the uppermost level. Forget about those unnatural key sequences to access a particular parameter of an insert on a track. Dexter lets you jump from the touch of a finger to a unified interface that shows every effect and parameter in a clear way. For the first time, DAW controlling actually looks and feels natural.
Unprecedented precision JazzMutant introduces a whole new concept with Dexter : that of zoomable controllers. You can now tweak in real time the resolution you want to acheive from one controller. Zoom in on your faders when you need that extra bit of precision in a mix. Zoom out when you're looking for the widest range achievable. Dexter brings matchless precision to your mix that top-of-the-range physical faders just can't compete with.
Available later this Spring, Dexter will be immediately compatible with Cubase, Nuendo, Logic Pro and Sonar. Compatibility with Pyramix and other software packages will be introduced in further updates. Pricing details, final specifications and release date will be disclosed soon.
Note for Lemur owners By the end of the year, an upgrade to the Lemur controller's firmware will enable the device to boot either on the Dexter or Lemur Operating System, to keep Lemur customers at the top-end of controlling possibilities. Conditions for the upgrade to be announced.

It covers international aspects of information systems design in which many relevant technologies are introduced for the welfare of human and business systems. This initiative can be viewed as an emergent area of informatics that helps better conceptualise and design new world-class solutions. The book provides four flexible sections that accommodate total of fourteen chapters. The section specifies learning contexts in emerging fields. Each chapter presents a clear basis through the problem conception and its applicable technological solutions. I hope this will help further exploration of knowledge in the informatics discipline.

Once the go-to mobile device for modern business professionals, the BlackBerry line from Research In Motion (NASDAQ:BBRY) has taken a back seat to other manufacturers, who can now offer similar services on their respective platforms.
The BlackBerry OS was once heralded as secure and stable, and as a result, favored by large businesses and government agencies who would employ the BlackBerry smartphone for their employees. However, a string of companies — including Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) and Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) — have dropped BlackBerry, and instead allow employees to use their own devices for business purposes. The latest organization to make this switch is the U.S. Department of Defense.
The Pentagon put out a news release this week announcing a "commercial mobile device implementation plan" that would allow Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android devices to be used on its communications networks come February 2014.
"It is going to a multi-vendor policy from an approach that was highly centered on BlackBerry devices," as Forbes explained…

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Diabetes: Taking Care of Your Feet
When you have diabetes, your feet need extra care and attention. Diabetes can damage the nerve endings and blood vessels in your feet, making you less likely to notice when your feet are injured. Diabetes can also interfere with your body's ability to fight infection. If you develop a minor foot injury, it could become an ulcer or develop into a serious infection. Ulcers can be found on the bottom of your feet, or on the top or bottom of your toes. With good foot care, you can prevent most of these problems.
Caring for your feet is easy. Most of the care can be done when you are bathing and getting ready for bed. Preventing injury to your feet is merely a matter of wearing properly fitted shoes and socks at all times.
These steps can help keep your feet healthy:
Here's how you can get started caring properly for your feet.

There is a new book on the market called the Human Faces of God by a theologian named Thom Stark. In it, he writes that the ancient Israelites were likely polytheists who practiced human sacrifice. According to an interview with Valerie Tarico, the deity known as the supreme "God" by most Christians is believed to have once existed in a pantheon—much like Zeus was a part of a mythological pantheon.
Because of the centrality of Christianity's monotheistic message, conservatives may view Stark's radically different view of ancient Israel as a ploy to subvert the faith. After all, one of Christianity's most widely cherished beliefs is that the ancient Israelites practiced a purer form of worship than their Babylonian neighbors.
However, many progressive Christians believe that these are the very things the average churchgoer should learn. We know that most of us are well versed in the contents (doctrines) of our faith, but lack sufficient context (or historical understanding). Most Christians can't tell you how the Bible came into existence or how Constantine's political prowess shaped early Christianity. Christians can quote the epistles, but are not typically aware that most theologians seriously question Paul's authorship of many New Testament letters. Most Christians are unaware of the external influences that may have shaped our theology, such as the Mithras mystery cult, or the Code of Hammurabi, or Hellenism.
These things remain in the realm of the unknown for a large number of Christians, but it is this very information that will provide a pluralistic context for our beliefs that hasn't existed. If we were exposed to the historical context in which Judaism and Christianity were formed as often as we are exposed to doctrine, we would develop the ability to question the veracity of our views. We would see that our Old Testament was produced by an ancient society that didn't understand science or medicine any more than Zeus' followers did. We would likely jettison our "only path to God" narrrative if we could simply see that our path, like others, developed through a desire to understand that which transcends human understanding. We could begin to tell our story as one that is shared by cultures all over the world.
The future of Christianity will only be realized when we begin to fully understand our past, and the path to religious tolerance will be paved for Christians with sound religious education. I hope that we will someday emerge beyond blind faith to contextual understanding.

Sarah Sparks loves technology. A freelance tech geek, she fixes everything from new computers to old radios and calls her home pregnancy test a "nifty gadget." When its digital face displays the word "pregnant," she comments to boyfriend, Leon, "It's actually a pretty good quality font for a disposable," before recognizing that her life is about to be altered by something much less predictable than technology. In first time feature directors Annie J. Howell and Lisa Robinson's Small, Beautifully Moving Parts, Sarah (Anna Margaret Hollyman) is ambivalent about her pregnancy. She never expresses a desire not to have her child, but her concern is that she doesn't relate well to living creatures. Sarah worries she doesn't know how to be a parent, and thinks the solution is to seek out her estranged mother who's "gone off the grid" without e-mail or a telephone. So Sarah treks across the west to find her and visits various family along the way. As she drives alone with only a GPS, Sarah quickly runs hundreds of miles off course when her navigator malfunctions, and her iPhone and electric toothbrush die in the Arizona desert. Even as SBMP explores the nature of family, self, and Sarah's digital dependence, it underscores that technology can lead you astray and let you down as much as any human.
Considering the overabundance of female movie characters obsessed with either weddings or babies, Sarah Sparks is a wonderfully realistic counter image. She's skeptical and charming, passionate about her profession, and competent with gadgetry. She's a nuanced character we're not likely to see outside of independent cinema.
Howell and Robinson wrote SBMP as a feature length version of their web series, Sparks, which also features character Sarah Sparks. The two envisioned the movie as a road film, using the locations they could most easily access, and shot with a small cast and crew trekking cross-country in a lone van. They tell Sarah's story with significant humor, focusing on technology's human foibles with a subtle comedy that points to the ridiculousness of communication, no matter the format. When Sarah's father calls with the news that her mother doesn't want to see her, he explains the speed of their communiqué: "I fed-exed her a postcard and she faxed back."
In an interview with IFC at SXSW, Howell explained their interest was in exploring how "people's relationships to technology have taken on the qualities of human relationships." Throughout the film we see Sarah just as affected by tech as by people, smiling affectionately at her GPS when it calls her by name. She repairs things for everyone in her family, both saving her sister's laptop from toddler pee and fixing her father's Skype for his daily chat with his online girlfriend, but she finds writing her mother a letter "too analog" and prefers driving to Arizona instead.
Though much is made of Sarah's connection to cords and a digital existence, her ambivalence toward impending parenthood stems more from her mother's distance than any social disconnection. For someone who relates better to machines, she has an intense curiosity about other humans that's shown in improvised sequences where she interviews strangers about their views on technology, with one particularly revealing series where she stops off at the Grand Canyon to visit the site of an old, joyous photo she took with her mother as a child. Her concerns turn toward family as she asks several tourists if they ever look at happy vacation photos and recall that the day had been terribly opposite their smiling faces. The more questions she asks, the more apparent Sarah's actual fears become.
Anna Margaret Hollyman is engaging as the skeptical Sarah, making her both vulnerable and funny, which is a feat considering she spends much of the movie alone. Small, Beautifully Moving Parts is quietly charming as it probes our modern anxieties about our increasing dependence on tech and whether its presence in our lives deadens us to other humans. The film doesn't currently have U.S. distribution, but the filmmakers plan to distribute it via DIY channels if no deal happens. Check out the trailer below and demand to see it in a theater near you.
