Google SketchUp 8.0.4811
Downloads: 575650
File size: 40.11MB
Requirements: Windows 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / Windows7 / XP64
License: Freeware
Google SketchUp 8.0.4811 Change Log
- The following issues have been fixed:
# Shadows:
* The shadow bug has been fixed! Previously, when the eye was in shadow, artifacts that look like inverted shadows could show up over all or part of the screen and annoying flickering could show up during animations.
* The "shadow strings" bug has been fixed too. Previously, shadows could show string-like artifacts. There is now a Shadow Strings Fix toolbar which allows you to toggle on and off a fix for this issue.
# Push Pull and Follow Me:
* The Follow Me cursor is now correctly shown when using the Follow Me tool with pre-selected items.
* The Follow Me cursor is now correctly shown when activating the Follow Me tool via a keyboard shortcut.
* The Context menu items are now complete when activating the Push/Pull or Follow Me tools and right-clicking on an entity.
* (Mac only) Previously, certain shortcuts weren't respected while using the Push/Pull tool. This issue has been fixed.
# Image export:
* (PC only) In this release, Windows users should be able to export images at a higher resolution. Export capabilities still depend on your computer environment but are now consistent between Mac and Windows machines.
* When exporting images with the camera.aspect_ratio set to a non-default value, block-like artifacts could be seen in the exported images. This issue has been fixed.
# Performance:
* In this release, SketchUp is now built using the /Largeaddressaware property on the PC. This change allows SketchUp to potentially allocate/address more memory on 64-bit machines. (Note: 64-bit users must have at least 1.89 GB RAM to see any improvement, and improvement is only noticeable in areas where memory was a limiting factor (e.g exporting images).
# Outliner (Mac only):
* Previously, when working in Outliner and selecting or editing entities, non-selected entities might expand or contract. Additionally, after scrolling in the Outliner, sometimes choosing an entity would select a different entity than desired. Both of these issues have been fixed.
* Search now works properly after minimizing and restoring the Outliner.
* Component and group names should now be visible in Outliner results after doing a keyword search. Found items are shown in red.
* The Rename context menu on the Outliner > Details menu works as expected and allows you to rename components and groups.
* Previously, when renaming a component by single clicking on the name in the Outliner, you couldn't see the text as you typed it. You should now be able to see the text when renaming components or groups via this method.
# Add Location:
* (Mac only) Previously if you launched the Add Location dialog, kept it open, and then closed the SketchUp model, the Add Location dialog would no longer open. This issue has been fixed.
* Previously when navigating to a location and then taking a snapshot, the maps portion of the dialog re-sized in a way that was visually jarring. We have improved the appearance of the dialog in this case.
# Animation:
* In some cases, animations exported on the Mac in SU8 were not as smooth as they were in SU7.1. The underlying issue has been fixed.
* (PC only) You are now able to select a codec other than the default.
* (PC only) Estimated file size is now correct (previously it was reported always as 0).
# 3D Warehouse:
* Previously, uploading large models to the 3D Warehouse might fail. You should be able to upload models up to 10MB.
* (Mac only) Previously, when you searched in the Components browser and then clicked on a results link for the first time, you were sometimes brought to the wrong model in the 3D Warehouse. This has now been fixed and clicking on links should always bring you to the correct model.
# Outer Shell:
* When performing Solid tool operations on coplanar geometry where some of the geometry is on a hidden layer and some is not, geometry could incorrectly be removed. This issue is now fixed and the Solid tools ignore the hidden geometry in this specific case.
# Toolbars:
* Previously, when adding new Ruby toolbars and relaunching SU, existing Ruby toolbars could unexpectedly reposition themselves and Restore Toolbar positions would not restore toolbars to their original positions. This issue has been fixed. (Note: it is still possible for Ruby toolbars to become repositioned when deleting plugins.)
# Scenes:
* Geometry will not disappear when generating scene thumbnails in a model where hidden layers were created via Ruby.
* (Mac only) Scene thumbnails are only created if the Scenes dialog is open.
* (Mac only) When creating a scene via the View menu the scene thumbnail is now created immediately.
# Match Photo:
* Previously, when opening a model or creating a new matched photo scene, the active scene was not selected causing confusion as the settings shown in the Scenes panel could differ from the settings of the active scene. This issue has now been fixed.
# Localization:
* (Mac only) When using the "Save as" context menu for a component, the model will now be saved even when saving to a folder with international characters.
* Many translation fixes for localized versions of SketchUp.
# EPix:
* Five separate fixes for EPix export including correctly exporting similar-looking materials and materials that matched the background color, exporting the default front face color, and exporting edges correctly.
# Ruby:
* The View.pick_helper(x,y,aperture) method now respects arguments passed to it allowing the Bezier.rb and BZ tool plugins to work again.
* Over ten fixes for Ruby issues and a few new methods for Ruby developers. Please see the SketchUp Ruby API site for details.
# Crashes:
* We've resolved some of the top SketchUp crashes (as determined by our Bug Splat and BreakPad data). SketchUp should be more stable now.
# Other:
* (Mac only) On machines where Arial Bold and Arial Italic fonts were missing or corrupted, the Components dialog could be blank or unresponsive. This issue has been fixed and the Components browser should now work even in this case.
* Images correctly hide when editing components with "hide rest of model."
* Walk tool no longer bounces when walking.
* Measurement toolbar works as expected when in the top toolbar.
* The customizable Standard Views tool palette no longer shows cryptic numbers for the tooltips.
* Watermarks behave as expected during scene transitions and when switching to a Matched Photo scene.
* The full text is visible for Entity Info for components or groups.
* Launching SketchUp by dragging and dropping a model to the SketchUp.exe now does a proper validity check.
* Previously, after switching scenes, the ground plane/edge effects and shadows over a background matched photo image degraded/flashed as you moved the mouse over the model. This flashing occurred until the model was modified. This issue should now be fixed.
# Preserve Scale on Resize - we worked on preserving scale to handle typical user workflows in a more efficient way.
* LayOut now rescales SketchUp models after editing.
* When editing a SketchUp model, "Preserve scale on resize" should be automatically disabled.
* Setting the scale of a model no longer changes the style back to the style seen in the "Last saved SketchUp view."
# DWG/DXF export bug fixes:
* Dashed lines scaling is improved in export to DWG/DXF. (Note: if you're planning on viewing your export in Model space, you'll want to export to model space; if you're viewing in Paper space use that export instead.)
* Fixed three bugs affecting DWG/DXF Unicode character export.
* Rotated entities in scaled DWG/DXF export are place correctly.
* Export scale is correct when exporting to DWG/DXF model space.
* Metric scaling should be the correct scale.
* (Mac only) Previously, when exporting to DWG/DXF for the first time the page range of "All" wasn't honored. This has been fixed.
* (Mac only) Lines break on a space when possible for DWG/DXF export.
* (Mac only) When lines break mid-word in a DWG/DXF export, the lines are complete.
* (Mac only) Previously, if you had text on more than one page of a DWG/DXF export, text would scale at an incorrect size on subsequent pages. This has been fixed.
# Localization:
* Fixed three bugs affecting DWG/DXF Unicode character export.
* (PC only) Previously, some Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters didn't display properly at all or in Display mode. These characters should now be correctly visible.
* Various translation fixes including template names.
# Fonts:
* Previously, undoing a font color would link that action to the previous undo item, and you couldn't undo just the font change. Now font color changes are their own undo item.
* Previously, if you had mixed-sized fonts in the same text box, the box would render differently than seen in text edit. Text now renders the same in both conditions.
# Other bug fixes:
* The "Scale to weight" drop-down in the Shape Style inspector better handles systems where a comma is used as the decimal separator.
* Fixed a crash that occurred when using Document Setup > References > Relink to link to invalid SketchUp file.
* Many Template fixes to make settings more consistent from template to template.
* Previously, you were not able to use a window select to select a clipped image unless you selected the entire hidden image bound. This issue has been fixed.
* Previously, when editing inside a group, clicking outside of a dimension, text, SketchUp model, or path editor would exit the entire group edit. This issue has been fixed.
* Previously, getting the center, endpoint, or on edge inference, would cause on face inferences stop working. This issue has been fixed.
* (Mac only) Fixed a crash that occurred when trying to edit a SketchUp file after doing so in presentation mode.
* (Mac only) Pan cursor correctly shows up with the shift key activated.
# Style Builder
* Previously, applying any color (other than black) to the strokes caused many of the lines to drop out in the Style Preview model. This issue has been fixed.

The "unsurrendered flag" carried by Beaufort's militia in the Civil War will be the showpiece of a new exhibit opening Friday [Sept. 16] at the Verdier House, 801 Bay St.
The exhibit, "The Beaufort Artillery: Guardians of the Lowcountry Since 1776," was developed by the Historic Beaufort Foundation and curated by Ron Roth of Bluffton. It coincides with the observation of Beaufort's tricentennial and the sesquicentennial of the Civil War.
Artifacts and memorabilia owned by HBF, the former Beaufort Museum and the Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum will illustrate the history of the Beaufort Volunteer Artillery.
The unit fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War and World Wars I and II. It was eventually absorbed into the S.C. National Guard and is the antecedent of the existing Beaufort unit.
The "BVA" flag, which hasn't been seen in
Beaufort for 115 years, was badly damaged and deteriorated when it was given to the Confederate Relic Room in Columbia in 1896 by the unit's second Civil War captain, Dr. Henry Middleton Stuart.
It has been in storage since then.
The flag, designed and sewn by the women of Beaufort, was presented to the local militia on George Washington's Birthday in 1858. War clouds were gathering and the women used the occasion to present the BVA with its "colors" for use in anticipated battles with the North.
Sacred to the troops, "colors" were carried as rallying points and inspiration during battle. Seriously damaged during the Battle of Port Royal Sound, the flag was mended by BVA soldiers, who carried it through the rest of the war. At the surrender of BVA troops in 1865, one of the soldiers wrapped himself with it instead of giving it to Union forces, thereby claiming it was "unsurrendered."
Restoration of the flag was sponsored by HBF and the Gen. Richard H. Anderson Camp #47 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Many of its members trace ancestral ties to the BVA. The Gen. Stephen Elliott Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and private individuals also contributed to the restoration.
Among numerous other items to be displayed are a presentation sword that honored Dr. Stuart's successful reorganization of the unit in 1878 and a portrait of Gen. Stephen Elliott.
The Elliott portrait also left Beaufort and was housed at the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Va., until it was returned by Beaufort Museum volunteers in 1971.
The exhibit will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays. Admission is $10 per person and includes a tour of the Verdier House if desired. School children are admitted free.
For more information or to arrange a group tour, call 379-6335.
A special lecture and gallery tour of a new permanent exhibit at the Verdier House, "The Beaufort Volunteer Artillery: Guardians of the Lowcountry Since 1776," will be presented by curator Ron Roth on Monday, Sept. 26.
Roth's talk, "Undaunted Valor: Stephen Elliott and the Beaufort Volunteer Artillery," will examine the BVA's role in the Civil War under Elliott's leadership. Firsthand accounts of BVA soldiers and their combat experiences from the unit's first major engagement, the Battle of Port Royal, to its final battle at Averysboro, N.C.
Roth was director and CEO of the Reading, Pa., Public Museum and director of the Museum of Nebraska Art before moving to Bluffton. He has curated or co-curated over 30 exhibitions, from the patriotic paintings of N.C. Wyeth to a major exhibition with international glass artist Dale Chihuly.
Roth was a seasonal historian for the Gettysburg National Military Park and a licensed battlefield guide. More recently, as an independent curator and consultant, he researched and wrote the script for the permanent exhibition area of the Central Pennsylvania African American Museum in Reading and its exhibit on the Underground Railroad in central Pennsylvania.
He is currently vice president of the Civil War Roundtable of the Lowcountry.
The lecture is part of the Historic Beaufort Foundation's "Dinner and a Lecture" series. It is open to HBF members and non-members and features a wine and hors d'oeuvres reception from 5:30–6 p.m. The program is from 6–7 p.m. followed by audience questions. The author will sign copies of his books following the lecture.
A three-course dinner at Saltus River Grill is offered at $19 per person for those who attend the lecture. Admission to the lecture is $15 for members, $25 for member couples; and $20 for non-members, $30 for non-member couples. Seating is limited. For lecture reservations, call 379-3331. For dinner reservations, call Saltus River Grill at 379-3474.

Zen Vision M Recovery Mode - Cure For What Ails
I wanted to give a big thank you for these instructions:
Not too long ago I had put in a new 64GB CF card as the hard drive. Last evening I tried to add some files to my Zen Vision M. I found that I could not add files to the Zen - I got an error that the player was full, which was bogus as it showed over 15 GB free. I tried everything but I was stumped. This morning I thought about getting the Zen to go into the "rebuilding" mode thinking perhaps that somehow the CF card needed cleanup of some sort. Hitting the reset button alone doesn't do it. However, I found the above link and managed to get into the recovery mode and performed a cleanup. Lo and behold, that not only fixed the problem of not being able to transfer files, but also fixed the annoying occasional "stutter" at the beginning of a song.
The moral of the story appears to be that doing a "cleanup" once in a while can be a very good thing.

Active Learning revisited
Posted 22 September 2004 - 01:37 PM
1. many teachers find active learning deeply scary
2. those who overcome their fear find such methods highly successful - as Rachel said 'I was totally shocked by how much they had all picked up'.
My perception is that teachers are less afraid now - at Inset 10 years ago active learning ideas were received with deep suspicion. Nowadays I find that response much less common but there's still a need to help the new teacher and the old hand wavering on the brink. In such cases, hot-seating or some of the more adventurous role-plays such as 'je suis le roi' are too big a leap, so how can you get started gently on active learning?
One answer is to start with your older students at GCSE or A level - they need gentling into active learning too if they've been used to being passive learners for years. Here's one activity that combines group work, research and just a little physical activity, that shouldn't frighten anyone - I hope!
Context - starting to teach the Tudors at A level but this can be done for any period. Before plunging into detail you want students to have a broad context so
a] split them into groups of 3, each group havinga 40 year life span - 1480-1520, 1520-1560 and 1560-1603.
b] if you've got more than 9 students you can add more groups within groups i.e. have a noble group, a merchant group and a labourer's group within each date band.
c] set them their task - to investigate their lifetime and to tell the others their life story by mapping it out as a physical lifeline on the floor of the room or hall. One axis of the life line is obviously the date, the other runs from 'Highlights, optimism, good times' to 'Low points, pessimism, bad times'. If you draw the lifeline on the board they'll quickly pick up the idea.
d) research time in groups - give them a timeline with key events and some other useful information - I've found graphs showing annual harvest quality and graphs of real wages and prices are important sources. And give them a small pile of varied books so they can do some research to find out what Ket's rebellion or other evnts on the timeline were.
e) Give each group 5 minutes to tell their story, putting cards on the lifeline labelled with the key highpoints or lowpoints and explaining their choices. Your task as teacher is to encourage the asking of questions e.g. why did you choose that? They must do this standing up, walking round the lifeline, standing at high and lowpoints.
f) get the class as a whole to vote as to who had the cushiest lifetime - in this case 1480-1520 usually wins hands down.
So what have you and they got out of this?
a) they've talked to each other - constructively! Constructive talk is one of the big plus-es of active learning. Constructive talk is vital to learning but it needs nurturing and planning for.
they've got out of their chairs and moved around their lifeline, getting used to being visible and to movement.
c) they've used a variety of books and resources and have begun to learn independently
d) they've begun to develop an overview and context for individual events
e) confidence - a little physical movement and independence and now you're all ready for something more adventurous.
That's one way to gentle everyone into a little more activity but there's lots of others.
So - what are your ways of getting trainees to experiment with active learning?
- how do you persuade Y12 that this is serious learning, not kids' stuff?
- what else do you want to throw into this debate on active learning?
And if that's all been too cautious, keep those hairdryers blowing and those teddy bears ear-less.

Earlier this year Ian gave me a copy of his activity on the dissolution of the monasteries. We'd been discussing how hard one of my classes found political issues and the fact that they found it extremely difficult to understand how any of these events actually mattered to ordinary people.
Using the classroom as a mock monastery and providing all of the students with a role gave them an immediate understanding of the fact that it wasn't just about rich people. I added photos taken at Kirkstall Abbey to the activity along with some artists reconstructions to try and visualise each part of the monastery and was very pleased with the level of understanding that the students had about the types of roles that people had at the time - and that goes beyond just life in the monastery. The movement around the room at various stages created an element of interaction that this particular group love - and usually have taken away from them.
After gradually building a picture of this happy little monastery it was good to see the level of emotion shown when rumours of dissolution were introduced. Empathy (sorry, are we still allowed to say that?) was evident in most of the comments students made. From the discussion and debriefing we had it was fairly obvious to me that most of the class had a good understanding of the social impact that the dissolution of the monasteries had. Most could also explain why the King had closed it and were quick to point out that their monastery wasn't corrupt like others.
For this particular group using active learning transformed the way that they approached the subject. They moved from being a 'hard' group to teach with little interest in written work to a group that were increasingly thoughtful and much more willing to look at different causes and consequences of events. The quality of written work produced in follow up lessons (they wrote letters to the king explaining why the monastery ought to be kept open - then wrote the kings reply) was far superior to things they'd done weeks earlier. Why? I think it was because they had been far more engaged in learning than they would have been through a more traditional approach. Thats certainly what the kids said anyway!
Problems with it? The difficulty with this kind of exercise is the planning. In this case I was very lucky to have been able to beg borrow and steal from Ian. saved a heck of a lot of time!

Did it twice yesterday. Once with a low ability set who struggled to read the information cards, couldn't listen to each other, and were generally awful, and again with a higher ability set. They worked really well together, laughed at each other's characters and got into role in a lovely way. When they heard that Thomas Cromwell had posted a notice to say the monasteries were closing, there was uproar and shouts to 'kill the king'! We then discussed the outcomes and how the closure of the monasteries/nunneries would affect the wider community and not just the monks. Pupils motivated and enthusiastic - that's why we do it!

I also did the dissolution of the monasteries with my year 8s! I had originally done this with Ian and Chris at a training day, and thought I'd put it into practice myself.

A few years ago we had an Ofsted inspection. Y7 were taking part in the Yalding Medieval Village simulation. One member of the department (a woman who had been teaching in the same school for nearly 30 years), who had a very traditional view of teaching talked about the possibility of abandoning the course while the inspectors were in the school. However, she was talked into carrying on (the inspectors were aware that the course was being taught in other Y7 classes).
Unfortunately, the inspectors decide to inspect her Y7 class that took place last thing on Thursday afternoon. The lesson involved the students discussing what precautions that should take to stop the pestilence entering the village. The students have to remain in character and discussions about what the village should do about victims of the disease were very passionate. At the end of the lesson the teacher left the classroom in tears claiming that she had completely lost control of the situation. She was lucky to have a sympathetic inspector (it does happen sometimes) who told her that the lesson was a great success and that she should be congratulating for using a teaching method that so clearly stimulated the children. Ironically, it was the womans Y12 history lesson that was criticised by the inspector (she was probably the most boring teacher in the school).
Every year the Ofsted report for history complains about the high percentage of lessons that are based around textbooks. I think most will be pleased to see other teaching methods being used.

I suppose the reason for saying this is that children and adults are different and learn differently, yet our styles of teaching and learning for 11 years old are too often watered down versions of adult learning styles. Children do learn by imitation - yet how often do we show them how to write by doing it with them and writing an essay or paragraph ourselves - something to imitate?
Much active learning comes into the same category - it's fun and that brings commitment and children care about the people or issue (that stands out from the replies by John and Georgina). We can show how to analyse change and continuity or to sequence (quick plug for new activities on www.thinkinghistory.co.uk in October) by doing this physically with their help - next time they've got more chance of repeating it because they remember the physical action and pattern.
So, imitation, fun, enjoyment - and more takers at GCSE?

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The King University women's volleyball team stayed hot behind their offense on Wednesday night in the Student Center as Maribeth Kern led the Tornado to a 3-1 win over Limestone College. Kern turned in an all-around performance to post her sixth double-double of the season and lead King to their 15th consecutive victory.
The Tornado opened the night on fire as Kelsey Griffitts and Summer Kremer registered back-to-back kills to start the match. Olivia Underwood and Kremer tacked two more kills to give King (16-3, 7-0 CC) an early 4-0 lead. Later in the frame, Kern registered her fourth kill of the set to give the Tornado a commanding 18-12 lead. The sophomore later ended the 25-17 win for King with another kill. In the first set, Kern posted five kills and six digs.
The Tornado offense only heated up in the second set as the hit a blistering .441 in the 25-14 set win. The Saints (7-9, 5-2 CC) were within two at 12-10 before Kern ignited an 8-2 Tornado run with a kill. Underwood and Mariah Herington capped the spurt with consecutive kills as King held a 20-12 lead. After Grace Underwood gave King a side out at 23-14, she then registered back-to-back service aces to give King the 2-0 lead.
King jumped out to an early lead again in the fourth set, holding a 7-2 lead before the Saints started to come back. Limestone gradually worked their way back into the frame, and finally evened the set at 12 apiece. King tried to slow down the Saints' attack with timeout trailing 16-13, but Limestone extended the lead and took the set 25-19 to force a fourth set.
The King offense responded in the fourth set by posting a .450 attack percentage in the frame. Consecutive kills by Lauren Willoughby and Herington gave King a 7-3 lead, and Kern forced a Saint timeout at 10-4 with another kill. King then gained control of the set with a 7-0 run that was highlighted by a pair of Casey Williams aces and back-to-back kills by Kern, and King led 20-7. Payton Tipton eventually ended the match with an ace as King took the final set 25-10 to move to 7-0 in Conference Carolinas play.
Kern led the Tornado with the double-double, posting 17 kills against just five errors on 38 attempts for an attack percentage of .316. She also racked up 15 kills on the defensive end. Olivia Underwood dished out 49 assists while Tipton anchored the defense with 18 digs. Brooke Calhoun also reached double figures with 10 digs in the victory. Grace Underwood and Griffitts both had solid nights offensively as neither middle hitter made an attack error all night. Underwood posted eight kills on 10 attempts while Griffitts accounted for seven kills on 17 attempts.
King will be in action again when they travel to Lees-McRae for a Conference Carolinas tilt. First serve is scheduled for 7:00 p.m., in Banner Elk, N.C.

Mattel's Lawsuit To Claim Ownership Of Bratz Comes Back To Bite Big Time: Told To Pay $309 Million
from the damn dept
Thankfully, sanity was regained at the appelate level, and eventually things turned around to bite Mattel for bringing the lawsuit in the first place. That's because the lawsuit allowed MGA to countersue over trade secrets violations. In April, we noted that this might end up costing Mattel $88.5 million, as the court rejected all of Mattel's claims and sided with MGA on the trade secret claim.
Turns out the result was even more damaging for Mattel. The court didn't just stick with the $88.5 million award the jury gave. Instead, while he "reduced" the jury award to $85 million, he then tacked on another $85 million in punitive damages and told Mattel to pay $137 million in legal fees to MGA. Total bill? Mattel has to fork over $309.8 million. All for a lawsuit Mattel brought in the first place. And that doesn't count the estimated $400 million that Mattel spent in legal fees during this fight. Add it all up and Mattel's decision to sue appears to have cost the company upwards of $700 million dollars.

Mexican exhibit displays famous exiles' papers
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Leon Trotsky, Fidel Castro, Augusto Cesar Sandino.
All spent time in Mexico, a country that's welcomed waves of political exiles over the decades and is now paying homage to some of the most famous of them.
In 1929, while he fighting a U.S. military occupation of Nicaragua, Sandino received permission to shelter in Mexico from President Emilio Portes Gil. In 1937, Trotsky came to Mexico using painter Diego Rivera as a reference. In 1955, a Cuban by the name of Fidel Castro entered Mexico as a tourist, telling authorities he was on vacation.
The dates and facts are recorded in migration records preserved in Mexico's historic archives and put on display to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the country's National Institute of Migration.
"These are very valuable documents, and they're part of the national patrimony," said Fernanda Garcia Villalobos, director-general of regulation and archives for the institute.
The yellowed immigration documents of 16 notable visitors can be seen at the institute's offices until the end of November. Some are machine-stamped, others filled out by hand. Some include photos, such as one showing a young Castro with a mustache but not yet a beard. Another shows Trotsky, with the white beard, mustache and round glasses that he had until his death at the hands of an assassin in Mexico.
It's a tiny sample of the nearly 500,000 records of foreigners in the migration institute's files. Garcia said the institute hoped to put on a larger exhibit in the future.
While the documents only record the foreigners' entries into the country, for Garcia the documents are "an important part of the story of these people," including some, such as Spanish surrealist painter Remedios Varo, who ended up taking Mexican citizenship.
Castro used his time in Mexico to organize the group of rebels who took a boat to Cuba in 1956 to launch the rebellion against dictator Fulgencio Batista.
On that, the documents are silent.
"We don't have any information on that," Garcia said. Officially, "he was only on vacation, he came as a tourist."
Exhibit is on ground floor of National Migration Institute's main offices, on 1832 Homero St. in Mexico City's Polanco neighborhood, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays until Nov. 29.

Medion MD98300
Since I had a hard time getting my Laptop working with Arch (especially sound drivers) I decided to write this wiki entry to make it easier for people with the same problem. I may expand it later, but the SPDI/F ports took me like three days, so here we go.
MD stands for "Medion", that brand you can buy PCs at ALDI from.
This Notebook has a Realtek ALC 833 soundcard. To get your SPDI/F ports working, add
options snd-hda-intel model=medion
to /etc/modprobe.conf
Also my /etc/modprobe.d/sound looks like this (I'm not sure whether this will help you):
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
The MD 98300 has a Nvidia 6150 Geforce Go. I tested the "nv" drivers, but I had no mouse cursor there. The non-free drivers ("nvidia"-package) work fine. The following is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf based on this one which is made for gentoo (see here) for use with the non-free nvidia driver.

Much of Florida woke up in the cone of error, as Tropical Storm Isaac is projected to approach the state from the south on Monday – as a hurricane.
At 8 a.m. on Wednesday, the system was in the Atlantic about 210 miles east of Guadeloupe, sprinting west at 19 mph with sustained winds of 45 mph.
Under the lasted forecast, Isaac would move over southwest Haiti on Saturday and southeast Cuba on Sunday before emerging in the Florida Straits.
The system then is projected to approach the Keys early Monday with sustained winds of 90 mph, just shy of Category 2 status.
If that forecast holds, much of the state would start feeling Isaac's fringes on Sunday.
While the models have come more into agreement with that prediction, the National Hurricane Center notes that its average five-day forecast track error is about 260 miles – meaning the projected path still could shift.
Although the system has yet to show signs of any "significant intensification," it still is projected to strengthen into a hurricane on Thursday while in the Caribbean south of Puerto Rico, senior hurricane specialist Stacy Stewart of the National Hurricane Center said.
Tropical storm warnings have been posted for most of the Lesser Antilles and a hurricane watch has been issued for Puerto Rico and the British Virgin Islands.
The system could produce up to 8 inches of rain and a storm surge of 3 feet above normal tide levels on those islands.
The hurricane center also is monitoring a low-pressure system in the eastern Atlantic, saying it likely will strengthen into a tropical depression or storm on Wednesday.
Models indicate that system might curve out to sea without threatening the U.S. coastline. The next named storm will be Joyce.

Help Wisconsin's dogs
Legislation that would remove dogs from Wisconsin's wolf hunt has been introduced to the Wisconsin Senate. Wisconsin is the first and only state that allows dogs to be used to hunt wolves, and the Wisconsin Humane Society strongly opposes this practice because it places dogs in dangerous, inhumane confrontations with wolves that will lead to injury or death.
Take Action!
Please ask your state senator to co-sponsor Senate Bill 93, which would protect dogs by removing them from Wisconsin's wolf hunt.
This action alert is for residents of the following states only: Wisconsin

Ronan Keating to sing in Postman Pat movie
- Bang Showbiz
- 5 December 2013
Ronan Keating has joined the cast of 'Postman Pat: The Movie' to provide the singing voice for the popular mail delivery man
Ronan Keating will provide Postman Pat's singing voice in a new movie.
The Boyzone singer has joined 'Postman Pat: The Movie', an upcoming film adaptation of the popular children's cartoon, and he admits he was a childhood fan.
Keating said: "It's been a true honour to help bring Postman Pat's singing voice to life. I grew up watching Pat and the great characters in Greendale so I can't wait to take my kids along to see them all on the big screen."
The 36-year-old 'Life is a Rollercoaster' singer will join 'Green Wing' actor Stephen Mangan, Jim Broadbent, Rupert Grint - who rose to fame as Ron Weasley in the 'Harry Potter' films - and David Tennant to bring the world of Postman Pat to life on the big screen.
The Irish star will not only sing all of Pat's songs, but will also have a cameo appearance in the film which sees everyone's favourite postman come face-to-face with the temptations of money, status and a shiny new suit when he enters a national TV talent show that threatens to tear him away from his family and friends.
'Postman Pat: The Movie' was co-written by award-winning scribe Kim Fuller of 'Spice World' and 'High Heels & Low Lifes' fame and Annika Bluhm, the head writer and producer of the 'Postman Pat' TV series, and is directed by Mike Disa.
'Postman Pat: The Movie' will be released in UK cinemas on May 23, 2014.

Several years ago, as is the case now, several columnists had columns in the Leavenworth Times.
Several years ago, as is the case now, several columnists had columns in the Leavenworth Times. One such lady was Esther Norman who wrote "Folks in Our Town." Esther was an animal lover, and was opposed to fluoride in water. Never the less, she wrote an interesting column, and was a family friend.
One such column was recently loaned to me, by my classmate Henry "Bill" Johnson. The column is undated, but was probably around the 1960s. Esther writes about "Early History of Leavenworth City and County" was written by H. Miles Moore, and published in 1905 by the Samuel Dodsworth Book Company, Leavenworth, Kan.
H. Miles Moore, the author, was an attorney, and took much of the material from his daily diary, which he kept from 1852 to 1880, according to this article.
Some of the chapters are titled, "Kansas Immigration; Rapid Settlement of Leavenworth; The first church service; Governor Reeder's Arrival; First day sale of public lots; Highest prices that day; First convention to nominate delegates to Congress; First death of a resident; Great fire in Weston; First census in Kansasl Rapid increase in wealth and population, 1855; First election of city officers. Location of certain buildings."
Many chapters are devoted to banks, courts, churches, hotels and boarding houses, newspapers, drug stores, breweries, flour and other mills schools, theaters, public halls and beer gardens, coal mines, manufactures, railroads, early ministers and priests, and the Fort Leavenworth Military reservation.
"In the fall of 1857, the population of Leavenworth had reached 5,000. No other city in the world except San Francisco ever equaled the rapidy of its growth. In July 1858 the largest portion of the business district was destroyed by fire and in most instances, elegant brick flocks replaced the cottonwood frames."
The author related how on the 30th of May, 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska bill had passed and was signed by President Pierce. The honorable Davis R. Atchison, one of the U.S. senators from Missouri, telegraphed the news and said to friends in Weston: "Go over and take possession of the good land, it is yours." The news spread like wildfire, and people went on foot, on horseback, muleback and in wagons and soon overran the best land for 40 or 50 miles west of the Missouri River. In less than a week almost every section of land was claimed by squatters. The town of Leavenworth was laid out by a group of men, and the agreement was prepared by the author in his law office at Weston.
Described also were eight flour mills, the largest of which was the New Era Mills, owned by the Kelly and Lysle Milling Co. There was a woolen mill and a carpet mill. The author went into much detail to names and locations of stores, schools, and churches, He also gave names of persons who had to do with early life here. Moore's book has as one of the photographs and illustrations a drawing of a Majors, Russell and Wadell Oxen train of covered wagons in Salt Creek Valley in 1855. There are several chapters listing the first members of the first bar association here.
The census of 1858 showed during the fall of 1858 and spring of 1859 the principal business streets of the city were graded and sidewalks laid, streets curbed, guttered and macadamized. The city graded and paved the levee at a cost of $20,000. The gas works was constructed and in the spring of 1859, Jones, Russell and company started the Pikes Peak Express from Leavenworth.
Coaches left daily carrying mail to Colorado and Salt Lake. In 1859 the population was 15,000 and at the close of the war in 1865, Leavenworth had 20,000 and continued to grow until 1870.
The Leavenworth County Museum at 1128 5th Avenue has several copies of the reprint of this book for sale @$49.98 plus tax.
Annie Johnston is a Leavenworth resident and wife of the late J.H. Johnston III, former Times publisher.

Whether facing off in the national championship game, playing in the Final Four or just meeting in the regular season, the two programs on opposite sides of the country have created compelling matchups.
Whether facing off in the national championship game, playing in the Final Four or just meeting in the regular season, the two programs on opposite sides of the country have created compelling matchups.
The undefeated teams will renew their annual contest Saturday when the second-ranked Huskies (10-0) visit the No. 1 Cardinal (11-0).
"It's a rivalry for us, but more than that, it's a measuring stick," said Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer, whose Cardinal have held the top spot in the poll for the past six weeks. "When the ball goes up, nobody cares anything about rankings."
The last time the teams met in the Bay Area in 2010, the Cardinal ended the Huskies' NCAA record 90-game winning streak. UConn will try to return the favor by snapping Stanford's streak of 82 straight home victories.
"It's going to be two really competitive teams, it's going to be a dogfight," UConn senior Kelly Faris said. "Two years ago that's what it was."
On the boards, Stanford's 6-foot-3 Chiney Ogwumike will battle with UConn's 6-5 Stefanie Dolson, a Minisink Valley graduate, and 6-4 freshman Breanna Stewart. The younger sister of All-American Nneka Ogwumike, who graduated from Stanford, is averaging 21.8 points and 12.8 rebounds for the Cardinal.
Stewart is averaging a team-high 16.6 points and 7.2 rebounds, while Dolson is contributing 11.7 points and 6.0 rebounds per game.
It marks the 51st meeting between the top two teams in the poll. The No. 1 seed holds a 31-19 lead. UConn and Stanford have been in three of those contests over the past few seasons with the Huskies winning all of them.
"The 1 versus 2 thing makes for better TV, but it doesn't change how we prepare," Stanford's Toni Kokenis said. "We are defending our home court, regardless of the opponent. But yeah, we ended their streak two years ago and I'm sure they want to do the same thing to us."
Stanford hasn't lost at Maples Pavilion since March 18, 2007, when Florida State beat the Cardinal in the second round of the NCAA tournament. UConn brought its streak to Stanford almost exactly two years ago only to see the Cardinal stop it with a 71-59 win in front of an enthusiastic crowd. VanDerveer expects a similar atmosphere Saturday.
"We're excited we're playing here," VanDerveer said. "Our team has played very well, but that's not the deciding factor. You have to make baskets and rebound and make stops. We know it's what you do on the court."
The Huskies, who beat Stanford in Hartford by 10 points last season, aren't concerned about ending the Cardinal's streak. They are just trying to improve.
"I don't think I'd go out there with the mindset that we have to break their streak," Faris said. "It's another game. But the whole streak thing, if you focus on that, you're not going to be doing the right thing."
Both coaches are aware that it's just one game in December with conference play about to start after the New Year.
"If you win on Saturday you know you beat a really good team," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "If you lose you know you got a lot of work to do to beat a really good team down the road."
Connecticut leads the series 7-6, including winning five of the last eight meetings — dating back to 2005. Stanford, unlike a lot of other teams in the country, has been able to stay close to the Huskies in the losses, losing most by a dozen points or less.
"You have two of the best offensive teams in the country, not to say we're going to see who can win 110-109," he said. "We try to make scoring and scoring often our priority. Maybe that's why it's become such a great rivalry."

To Assimilate or Infiltrate: The War for (and Against) Being Undeniably Black
Danielle Belton | 1/9/2014, 9:50 a.m.
How was naming your daughter Alexus any different?
This is a continuing dilemma for African Americans, even today. Do you chose to be more conservative in how you name and raise your children in hopes they will advance further in society? That they will be less likely to encounter certain types of discrimination with an English first name, classical piano lessons and a household that forbids slang like the one I grew up in? Or do you simply swing for the fences and go, "I'm naming my kid Barack Hussein Obama Jr. and Condoleeza Rice anyway?"
There is this belief that to make it as a black person in a racist society that you must give up part of yourself in order to succeed, but I don't think that is any longer true … if it ever was. At the end of the day, no matter your name, choice of speech patterns or dress, you are still black. You still must travel the same path of those before you and find your own way, your own identity. By denying parts of your heritage or running away from a name like "Keisha," it doesn't change your lineage or what you must tackle day-to-day.
Being Kylie, again, might keep your resume from being thrown in the trash, but only you being the true to who you are will get you to where you want to go.

Precision farming.
Precision farming.
Precision farming has raised modern agriculture to a new level. It includes a range of systems designed to provide differentiated, targeted management of agricultural land and incorporate GPS information.
The aim of conventional precision farming is to identify differences in soil characteristics and yield capacity between areas within a field and to respond in line with requirements. The challenge is to achieve better nutrient distribution within a field and to apply the optimum level for a specific site. Only the precise amount required by the crop at that site is applied. This increases yields and saves on fertilisers and pesticides, while at the same time preventing nutrient accumulation and thus protecting the environment.

With Sir Christopher Kelly's Committee on Standards in Public Life's official review intended to placate the public over the expenses crisis, the Sunlight Centre has released an independent shadow report, with a foreword by Douglas Carswell MP, laying out a system to stop MPs' abuse of expenses once and for all. The report, "Disinfecting Parliament" provides a tough benchmark by which to judge Sir Christopher Kelly's recommendations. It includes proposals to pay MPs' expenses from a single bank account with public statement, to give MPs housing in the Olympic village, and to let the press and public into the hallowed halls of Parliament.

Natural history specimens as social media stars? How (and why) did the Australian Museum get into the social media space and what are we doing there?
Blobfish, Psychrolutes microporos (aka Mr Blobby)
Photographer: Kerryn Parkinson © NORFANZ Founding Parties
The Centre for the Future of Museums writes: "The rise of social media is transforming the landscape of communication for all organisations, including museums. There are myriad new ways to connect directly with the public, and new spokespeople have stepped forth to fill these niches. Recently I interviewed two museum specimens that have become social media celebrities. Sue the TRex, (otherwise known as Specimen FMNH PR2081) tweets from the Field Museum of Natural History. Mr. Blobby the Blobfish, a Facebook phenom with over 800 fans, resides in the collections of the Australian Museum in Sydney when not making public appearances." The blogpost can be found here.
So, how did the Museum become involved with social media? The Museum got interested in social media very early on. An Australian Research Council Grant, New Literacy, New Audiences (2004), was the first where we started looking at delivering content to audiences across digital media. This project was also used to train staff to think about modes of content delivery and to develop a series of digital stories (Australian Museum Stories). The Museum then received a further grant in 2008, Engaging with Social Media in Museums, which enabled us to play in the social spaces of the web. We used this grant to experiment and test our presence in sites such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter and learn together about what these spaces were like and how to engage our audiences within them. Parallel to this was the redevelopment of our website (since launched in June 2009) so the time was ripe for the Museum to work out where we wanted to be online and how best to achieve our goals and who best to do it (answer = everyone!).
Following the adventures of Mr Blobby has been a treat and a delight. Who would have thought that so many people could be taken with such an innocuous creature as a blobfish? One of the areas we are interested in is the conjunction between physical museum sites and their online counterparts. We have (and will continue to) seen Mr Blobby as a way to connect with audiences wherever they are and somehow get them to actually visit the Museum.
I see this as the next wave of what a museum should be. George Brown Goode (a former Smithsonian administrator and famous ichyologist to boot!) said "The people's museum should be more than a house full of specimens in glass cases. It should be a house full of ideas". Following Goode's words, I see the 21st century museum is a house full of ideas, yet at the same time a house without walls. Mr Blobby (and Gagali the Gecko and everything else we are doing in the online space, including our massive website) are small steps towards achieving the museum without walls.
More on these ideas will follow from various keynote speeches I am giving over the next two months so watch this blog and Museum 3 as I blog and post more thoughts on Web 2.0 and the future of museums.
Hi Mr Blobby,
I'd like to back up Martyn's comments about your backbone. You may be blobby but you do have support (internally - your backbone, and on the web - all those Facebook friends). Yes, you are preserved in 70% ethyl alcohol and are thus excused for forgetting to tell your fans that you are part of the Australian Museum Ichthyology Collection (registration number AMS I..42771-001). The collection information for you and the many other fishes in the collection are all recorded in a database and can be used to address questions about biodiversity and conservation.
Mr Blobby sends his (hers?) thanks to you Martyn. Sometimes he gets very forgetful. Must be all that alcohol he's pickled in!
Hello Mr Blobby,
I've just read the interview with you and Sue the T rex mentioned above, and I have to point out that you DO actually have a skeleton, bones and a spine even if they are decalcified and therefore rather more flexible than most fish skeletons. So there you go, you have an added asset to put on your CV that you didn't know you had.
Also I disagree with Sue's comment - I think Blobfish pyjamas and sheets would sell very well.

All house plans that fall into the modern category belong to a wide range of sub-styles some which draw on older house designs in order to gain the necessary basis for their modernity. Contemporary house plans are also classified as a subset of modern plans. Different other house plan designs fall into the subset category of modern plans as well and sites that are designed to provide this information will provide such details assuming the information they provide is comprehensive enough.
A number of architects and designers exist who tend to specialize in modern house plans. House plans that are modern are terrific for a variety of reasons, one of such reasons is the fact that they tend to have larger windows than regular houses and house plans.
Factors Behind Modern Housing-Making – Plans For a Modern Home
Like everything else, house plans have evolved with the times. Factors behind modern housing:
The book lays down the salient features of modern architecture though its emphasis on underlying construction plans of the building rather than the superstructure. Modern house plans take advantage of this innovation to save space and create clean uncluttered spaces.
An emphasis on simple geometrical shapes in building construction plans. Plastic, cement, and Glass, all processed also finds wide usage in modern house plans.
Efficient space utilization is a key feature of modern architecture. Modern house plans leverage special materials to free more and more space which would have otherwise gone into creating supporting structures.
