Rouka Numachi (沼地 蠟花)Rouka Numachi is the former basketball rival and supposed arch-nemesis of Suruga Kanbaru. Though she once shared an affinity for basketball akin to Suruga, albeit as a defensive player, she would go on to sustain a leg injury that would end her endeavor in sports. The two had a falling out in middle school due to Rouka's injuries causing a rift between the two.
Rouka is characterized by the concept of "schadenfreude"; in which she derives pleasure from the misfortune of others. A self-proclaimed collector misfortunes, she enjoys listening to people's problems whilst offering empty promises of helping them out. Turning this form of counseling into a non-profit service, Rouka began to operate under the alias called "Lord Devil"; in which she promises her customers that she can solve anyone's problems with absolute certainty.
Contrasting Suruga's virtuous nature, her desire for collecting misfortunes is one of malice. Though she genuinely sympathizes towards her customers' issues, her actions are maliciously self-beneficial and acted out with impartiality towards her customers. She justifies her sense of "evil" as non-harmful, as it not only benefits her state of mind while also allowing her customers to solve their own problems by simply letting the time pass. She carries a crutch due to her injury, which she described as allowing her customers to open up more easily with her.

A looming short-fall in the attacking line up of English Premier League side West Bromich Albion has reportedly saw them considering a possible deal for former Arsenal striker Jeremie Aliadiere.
With reports of on-loan striker Romelu Lukaku heading to the exit doors to seek bigger challenge and the duo of Nigeria's Osaze Odemwingie and Shane Long also candidates for summer transfers, caughtoffside.com claims West Brom could turn to Lorient striker Aliadiere as a cheap option, with the 29-year-old thought to be available for around £4million.
The former Arsenal youngster having seemed to have finally found a way around his injury-laden career scored an impressive record of 19 goals and 9 assists in all competitions for Lorient this season, putting him in joint fifth place for goals in France's Ligue 1, and joint fourth place for assists.
With his pre-knowledge of Premiership football, the French striker is expected to easily settle into live at the Hawthorns if the proposed move is finally pursued and sealed but it is not sure if Aliadiere will want to leave his native country for England once more judging by the contrasting fortunes he has enjoyed in opposite sides.

How to Decorate Your Bookcase Like a Pro
Bookshelves are not just for your favorite books anymore. From adding unique trinkets, potted plants and picture frames to grouping similar reading materials, they're as much about storage as they are about design.
Whether you are starting with a new bookcase or re-working an old one, the best part to decorating this multi-functional piece of furniture is that no additional spending is required. You can work with what you have - use items currently on your bookcase or you can pull objects from another place in your apartment to help fill the shelves. Curate your bookshelf with this helpful how-to.

Qatar just unveiled its first-ever supercar called the Elibreia at the Falit Qatar Motor Show and while it's an aspirational project for the oil-rich, but it is a University project by the Texas A&M University's branch in Qatar. And frankly, university project or not, this looks terrible. Agh!
ArabGT's coverage of the vehicle shows the mess of a design that is not only ugly but also hard to look at with all that's going on. Power? Thankfully, this car has a reasonable power output of 535 HP through a GM V6 engine unlike the Dubai-based Devel Sixteen that wishes to have 5,000 HP and a top speed of 560 KM/H.
University projects are all about pushing the line, testing newer limits, doing something that isn't bound by profits, and this may have a few tidbits that are exponential but overall, the lines, the curves, the angles are a total riot in a bad way. The student, who is the designer of the vehicle has said that he's working on another design and we wish all the best to him and hope that they utilize the feedback generated from this supercar onto the newer one.

Interesting! And thank you for following up on this. It's a wonder Adobe would be able to get anyone to pay a full retail price.I think they rely on corporate purchases, even then, if the corporate buyer is paying attention, he's working to get a better price... Upgrade Price is $199 for CS3 and up, I'll look for a price below that... But so far I don't see a compelling reason, other than whatever fine tuning they've been doing..

text: Buy Buying Guides How to Pick the Best iPhone for You Share Pin Email Print Jordan Siemens/The Image Bank/Getty Images Buying Guides Smartphones Smartphone Accessories Computers & Tablets Games & Consoles Gadgets TVs & Home Theater Cameras Audio by Sam Costello Sam Costello has been writing about tech since 2000. His writing has appeared in publications such as CNN.com, PC World, InfoWord, and many others. Updated November 20, 2018 408 408 people found this article helpful A few years ago, when you wanted to buy a new iPhone, the choice came down to one thing: how much storage would you get and, as a result, how much would you pay? Then the iPhone came to Verizon and other phone companies and you had to decide not only how much storage you would buy, but also what carrier you wanted.Now that each generation of iPhone comes in two models — beginning with the iPhone 5S and 5C and carried over to the iPhone 6S, 7, and 8 series — picking the best iPhone for you and your needs has gotten more complicated. Do you want to use TouchID? How about Face ID? Maybe all you care about is Animojis?Instead of just having to choose between two storage capacities and two phone companies, there are now eight models — iPhone X, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, 7 and 7 Plus, 6S and 6S Plus, and SE — and four phone companies: AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Unlocked versions of these iPhones are available as well.If you're planning to buy a new iPhone, you need to figure out what matters to you in a phone, what doesn't, and which model to choose. Here are some tips that may make that decision a little easier.iPhone XProsThe bleeding edge: If having the coolest, most cutting-edge technology in your iPhone matters to you, the iPhone X is your only choice. It's the only current iPhone that offers things like facial recognition and an edge-to-edge OLED screen.It's the biggest and the best: The iPhone X is the top of the line model. It's got the largest screen — 5.8 inches — which makes for terrific gaming and multimedia. It's got the best screen: Only the iPhone X has an edge-to-edge screen that covers the full face of the phone, uses superior OLED technology, and delivers highly detailed, vibrantly colorful HDR images.Improved camera: The camera on the X is virtually the same as what you'll find on the iPhone 8 Plus and 8, though the 8 Plus and X are the only ones that offer improved Portrait Lighting features. Face ID:The iPhone ditches the Touch ID fingerprint recognition system used to unlock the iPhone and confirm Apple Pay transactions. In its place is the Face ID facial recognition system, which no other iPhone offers.Wireless Charging: Along with both iPhone 8 models, the X sports wireless charging using the Qi standard. Forget having to plug your iPhone in; just rest it on a charging mat to power the battery.3D Touchscreen: The screen on the X can detect how hard you're pushing on it. As a result, it can respond in different ways to different kinds of touch. Not only does this enable eye-catching features like Live Photos, it also opens a whole host of new user-interface options.NFC & Apple Pay: The X includes support for NFC (Near-Field Communication), the wireless standard that is used for transactions with the Apple Pay mobile payment platform.Newer processors: The latest, fastest, and most capable chips show up in the iPhone X, with the new A11 Bionic chip offering up to 70% better performance for computing and a new graphics chip with up to 30% faster performance.Apple Watch and AirPods compatible: Every phone on this list works with all generations of the Apple Watch and Apple's wireless AirPods earbuds. Size: Despite having a 5.8-inch screen, the iPhone X is actually smaller than the 8 Plus and not that much bigger than the 8.ConsPremium price: All the amazing features noted above don't come cheap. The iPhone X is the most expensive iPhone ever, with prices of US $999 and $1149, for the 64GB and 256GB models respectively.No headphone jack: Like the iPhone 7 series before it, the iPhone 8 series and the X do not include a standard headphone jack. Instead, it requires either the EarPods with Lightning Connector that are included with the phone, wireless earbuds like Apple's AirPods, or an adapter for connecting traditional headphones. (AirPods, thankfully, are very easy to set up and use.) This isn't a very big deal, but it may irk some people. iPhone 8 PlusProsPretty close to the iPhone X: The iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X are similar in many of the most important ways. Almost everything in the list above applies to both the X and the 8 Plus. See the cons section below for the few things that don't.Touch ID fingerprint scanner: Apple's 2nd generation fingerprint scanning technology is built into the 8 series, so entering passwords and making purchases is as simple as pressing your phone's Home button.Less expensive: Buying an iPhone 8 Plus will be easier on your wallet. The introductory 64GB model costs $799, $200 less than the equivalent iPhone X. Cons No Face ID: The iPhone 8 series uses Touch ID, rather than the Face ID system. You can't get facial recognition and everything that goes along with it (including Animojis) on the 8 Plus. Lesser screen: While the Retina Display screen on the 8 Plus is amazing, it's not as good as the screen on the X, since it doesn't use OLED, isn't edge to edge, and doesn't support HDR. The 8 Plus also has a 5.5-inch screen, compared to the 5.8-inch screen on the X.Larger and heavier:The 8 Plus is about a half inch taller and an ounce heavier than the X. That may not sound like much, but it can change how the phone feels in your hand or pocket.iPhone 8ProsNearly identical features to the 8 Plus: Almost every feature of the 8 Plus is also present on the 8 (for a list of the ones that aren't, check out the cons below). The two phones are identical when it comes to storage options, processors, wireless charging, 3D Touch, Touch ID, support for NFC and Apple Pay, and Apple Watch compatibility. Big screen: The iPhone 8 offers a 4.7-inch screen. While that's not as huge as the 8 Plus', it's a good deal bigger than the 4-inch screen on the iPhone SE. The 7 and 6S series both have the same options for screen sizes as the 8.Best Value: Each model of the iPhone 8 costs less than the equivalent iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X.ConsNo cutting-edge features:You won't find Face ID or the OLED/HDR/edge-to-edge screen on the 8. The 8 also lacks some of the advanced photo features of the 8 Plus and X, such as Portrait Mode. Smaller screen: The iPhone 8's screen is about three-quarters of an inch smaller than that on the 8 Plus, and more than an inch smaller than the X, so if you need the biggest screen possible, check out the other models.Lesser camera: The camera on the 8 doesn't include the wide angle, telephoto, and high-end depth-of-field effects, so photos in some circumstances may not be as nice as those taken with the 8 Plus or X (for the everyday photographer, though, the difference probably won't be noticeable).More expensive than 7: Because it's one of the latest models, it's more expensive than the earlier generations. No headphone jack: Like the 8 Plus, the 8 doesn't have a traditional headphone jack.iPhone 7 PlusProsGreat phone:This was Apple's top-of-the-line iPhone for part of 2016 and most of 2017. Nothing that made it a great phone then — its screen and camera, its speed and compatibility with the full line of Apple accessories — has changed.Cheaper than the 8 Plus:Since the 7 Plus has been replaced in the food chain by the X and the 8 series, it's got a more attractive price. The 7 Plus starts at $130 less than the 8 Plus. ConsNo wireless charging: Unlike the phones in the list above it, the 7 Plus doesn't have wireless charging support.Slower processor: The processor in this model is plenty fast, but Apple claims the chip in the 8 series and the X is up to 70% faster than the 7 Plus for some uses.Lesser camera: The camera in the 7 Plus is great, but the 8 and X offer better ones. You probably won't see much of a difference, but people who are very serious about photography should consider the newer models.Lower storage capacity: The 7 Plus maxes out at 128GB of storage, compared to the 256GB limit for the X and 8.Large: All of the Plus models, from every iPhone generation, are really big. They look large in most people's hands and don't easily fit pockets or purses. iPhone 7ProsGreat phone, great price: The iPhone 7 offers almost all of the 7 Plus' strengths but does so at a lower price. The introductory level model of the iPhone 7 starts at just $549.Manageable size: If you want the strengths of the 7 Plus in a smaller-size device, the 7's 4.7-inch screen means it's an easy fit in your hand or pocket.ConsAll of the 7 Plus's weaknesses: Since the 7 and 7 Plus share most of the same hardware and features, all of the 7 Plus' weaknesses when compared to the 8 and the X apply here, too.Even lesser camera: The 7 has a lesser camera than the 7 Plus, in that it doesn't support the special Portrait Modes and other features. Most people probably won't notice, but it will matter to photographers.iPhone 6S PlusProsA very solid phone: While it's a few years away from being top-of-the-line, the iPhone 6S Plus is still a very solid phone with strong features and performance. If you just need a solid, day-to-day performer, either model of the 6S series is a good bet.Support for key Apple technologies: You'll get support for most key Apple technologies with the 6S Plus, including Apple Pay, Touch ID, the Apple Watch, 3D Touch, Retina Display, among others.Appealing price: Since it's now two years removed from its introduction, the lowest-priced version of the 6S Plus costs $549.Headphone jack: The 6S series is the last iPhone with a traditional headphone jack. If that's important to you, this phone, the 6S, or the SE will be the pick for you.ConsTwo years behind: It's now two years since the 6S series was brand new. Even if you don't want the latest and greatest, the 6S is starting to look a little long in the tooth.Lower storage capacity: The 6S Plus maxes out at 128 GB.Slower processors: The 6S series is built around the A9 processor and M9 motion coprocessor, two generations behind the chips used in the X and 8 series.Lesser camera features: While the 6S Plus has a good camera, it lacks the wide angle, telephoto, and depth-of-field features of the 7 Plus, to say nothing of the X or 8.iPhone 6SProsLower price: Price is really the major reason to consider the 6S at this point. As a good daily phone, it's also got an attractive price: $449.Nearly identical features to the 6S Plus: All of the hardware features of the 6S Plus that make it such a good phone, with the exception of the camera, are present on the 6S. ConsSame hardware drawbacks as the 6S Plus: All of the hardware drawbacks found on the 6S Plus are present in the 6S as well.Lesser camera: Like the 7 when compared to the 7 Plus, the camera on the 6S lacks some features present on the 6S Plus, like optical image stabilization.iPhone SEProsLowest price: This is the cheapest way to get a new iPhone. The 32GB SE costs just $349.Smallest form factor: If you're really attached to the idea of a small phone, the SE is it. With its 4-inch screen, it's much smaller than any other phone on this list. Support for Apple Pay, Apple Watch, and Touch ID: Key Apple technologies like Apple Pay, Touch ID, and the Apple Watch work just fine with the SE.ConsIt's old: While some of its internals have been updated, the SE is still essentially the oldest iPhone on the market. Its primary appeal is price, so if anything other than price is the most important to you, it makes sense to look elsewhere.Deciding on Your PhoneThe general rule when making a technology purchase is to buy the most device that you can afford. That's true when it comes to deciding which iPhone to buy.If you can afford the iPhone X or 8 Plus, get it. It will last the longest, offer the best performance and features, and will hold its value longest if you want to resell it. If you're more price conscious, the iPhone 7 series will serve you well, too. Only look to the SE if cost or size of the phone is a major consideration (it is nice to hold something this size again, in spite of its screen size).For a quick comparison of how all current models stack up in terms of features and price, check out this chart.Current iPhone Models Compared iPhone X 64 GB256 GB iPhone 8series64 GB256 GB iPhone 7series32 GB128 GB iPhone 6Sseries32 GB128 GBiPhoneSE32 GB128 GBSongs Held16,00064,000 16,00064,000 8,00032,000 8,00032,0008,00032,000 Screen Size*5.88 Plus:5.58:4.77 Plus:5.57:4.76S Plus:5.56S:4.74Screen Specs2436x1125458 ppiHDR 8 Plus:1920x1080401 ppi8:1334x750326 ppi7 Plus:1920x1080401 ppi7:1334x750326 ppi6S Plus:1920x1080401 ppi6S:1334x750326 ppi1136x640326 ppiEdge-to-EdgescreenYesNoNoNoNoOLED screenYesNoNoNoNo3D TouchYesYesYesYesNoProcessorApple A11BionicApple A11BionicApple A10FusionApple A9Apple A9Camera*2cameras:12 & 72cameras:12 & 72cameras:12 & 72cameras:12 & 52cameras:12 & 1.2OpticalImageStabil-izationYesYesYesNoNoOptical ZoomYesYes7 Plus:Yes7:NoNoNoWide Angle &TelephotoYesYesYesNoNoPortrait ModesYesYes7 Plus:Yes7:NoNoNoRecordsVideo4K HDat 60 fps4K HDat 60 fps4K HDat 30 fps 4K HDat 30 fps 4K HDat 30 fps Slo-MoVideo1080p HDat 240 fps1080p HDat 240 fps1080p HDat 120 fps1080p HDat 120 fps1080p HDat 120 fpsLive PhotoYesYesYesYesNoAnimojiYesNoNoNoNoFaceIDYesNoNoNoNoTouch ID2nd gen.2nd gen.2nd gen.2nd gen.1st gen.NFCYesYesYesYesYesBluetooth 5.0YesYesNoNoNoSplash, Water& Dust ResistantYesYesYesNoNoWeight(ounces)6.148 Plus:7.138:5.227 Plus:6.637:4.876S Plus:6.776S:5.043.99Size**5.65x 2.79x 0.308 Plus:6.24x 3.07x 0.308:5.45x 2.65x 0.297 Plus:6.23x 3.07x 0.297:5.44x 2.64x 0.286S Plus:6.23x 3.07x 0.296S:5.44x 2.64x 0.284.87x 2.31x 0.30WirelessChargingYesYesNoNoNoBattery Life(inhours)Talk: 21Video: 13Web: 12Audio: 608 Plus:Talk: 21Video: 14Web: 13Audio: 608:Talk: 14Video: 13Web: 12Audio: 407 Plus:Talk: 21Video: 14Web: 13Audio: 607:Talk: 14Video: 13Web: 12Audio: 406S Plus:Talk: 24Video: 14Web: 12Audio: 806S:Talk: 14Video: 11Web: 10Audio: 50Talk: 14Video: 13Web: 12Audio: 50ColorsSilverSpace GraySilverSpace GrayGoldJet BlackBlackSilverGoldRose GoldSpace GraySilverGoldRose GoldSpace GraySilverGoldRose GoldPriceUS$999$11498 Plus:$799$9498:$699$8497 Plus:$669$7697:$549$6496S Plus:$549$6496S: $449$549$349$449 * in megapixels** in inches Continue Reading

|Ford Edge
|Image gallery (10)
Page 1 of 1
Bold, American design distinguishes the 2007 Ford Edge in the red-hot crossover utility vehicle (CUV) market - along with a dynamic driving character and innovative features designed to make it the "crossover of the year." Equipped with an all-new 250-horsepower V-6 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission, Edge will deliver performance, quietness and fuel efficiency. Ford Edge is expected to achieve fuel economy in the mid twenties in highway driving.
The CUV is the fastest-growing vehicle segment in the United States, outpacing even the remarkable growth SUVs achieved in the 1990s. CUVs surpassed 2 million U.S. sales in 2005 and are on pace in 2006 to exceed traditional SUV sales for the first time. Two distinct consumer trends have helped fuel the explosive growth of the CUV segment: car buyers seeking more spacious and flexible interiors along with the security of all-wheel drive, and traditional SUV buyers seeking more maneuverable and fuel-efficient vehicles that still make an active lifestyle possible. Most crossovers have been designed to closely resemble traditional SUVs. Edge heads to a new, unexplored part of the CUV market with a bold, modern, uniquely American design.
Edge's visual promise of dynamic prowess begins with its bold front end. Its distinctive three-bar chromed grille builds on the great look of the Ford Fusion. An aggressively raked windshield and fast-sloping back window with high-mounted rear spoiler accentuate the feeling of motion. Quad-beam headlamps and a "powerdome" hood accentuate the purposeful front-end look. Each wheel is planted at an extreme corner, giving Edge a powerful, yet graceful stance. The raised beltline emphasizes strong, sculpted shoulders formed around sharp wheel arches. Matte black lower front and rear fascias and side rocker panels emphasize Edge's sporty character. Edge's modern design flows into the interior, evident in the instrument panel and distinctive center stack. The center stack design incorporates two 9- by 2-inch vertical vents that bracket the audio and climate-control switches. All-leather seating surfaces feature contrasting stitching inspired by the fashion industry and a hit with Fusion customers.
Edge is designed to fit the customer's need for style as well as cargo space and adaptability. For example, the large center console uses a removable divider and tray to organize the space both vertically and horizontally for everything from laptop computers and handbags to coins and MP3 players. An optional concealed plug means that the Edge has four power points, three within the driver's reach, along with a segment-first MP3 audio jack. Small slots molded into the side of the console keep phone and MP3 cords neat and organized. The console lid has a ticket clip, two pen holders and a tissue holder. Edge also is big on details. A 20-ounce-cup holder is included in each front-door map pocket, along with juice box holders in the rear door pockets, two super-size-cup holders in the center console and two in the rear armrest. Edge comfortably seats five, offering available six-way power, heated, adjustable front seats and best-in-class adult headroom and legroom for the second row. An easy-to-use available folding front-passenger seat creates an extended load floor. The 60/40 reclining split second row folds to provide a level load floor for carrying equipment in the large cargo area. Edge can transport items as long as 8 feet inside with the front passenger seat folded down. Each rear seat can be folded manually using an industry-first single-hand release or automatically with an available EasyFold electro-mechanical remote release accessible from the rear cargo area. Edge options include Ford's next-generation DVD-based navigation system and factory-installed Sirius satellite radio. Rear-seat passengers can enjoy the available DVD entertainment system with a drop-down 8-inch screen and two pairs of wireless headphones. Edge's available panoramic Vista Roof opens up a whole world of possibilities. The large glass moon roof provides a grand view of the sky above and can open for a sense of freedom that accentuates Edge's sporting nature. The roof features a large 27.3- by 29.4-inch forward panel that offers tilt and slide opening, and a 15.75- by 31.3-inch fixed rear glass panel. A one-touch-open switch provides open-air touring. Close the forward roof, and the enormous skylights allow natural light to flood the cabin, while protecting the cabin from the elements. When preferred, the twin power-operated cloth shades can be closed simultaneously to block glare.
Edge's modern car-based foundation facilitates its excellent driving character. The front suspension features MacPherson struts and an isolated subframe, firmly attached in six locations. To further smooth out the ride, hydro-bushings are used. The four-link independent rear suspension uses stamped steel control blades for precise suspension tuning. The rear shocks are mounted as far outboard as possible in the vehicle and behind the wheel center to improve ride and handling. Edge comes standard with four-wheel-disc anti-lock brakes. Edge's all-new 3.5-liter V-6 features a strong, lightweight, die-cast aluminium block and lightweight 4-valve-per-cylinder heads for smooth operation at high rpm. A 10.3:1 compression ratio and close-coupled catalysts will help it meet stringent ultra-low emission vehicle (ULEV) II regulations. The all-new 6-speed automatic transmission uses a wide 6.04:1 gear ratio to deliver good fuel economy and performance. Short first and second gears provide impressive launch and acceleration, while the tall overdrive gears deliver 7 percent better fuel economy than a 4-speed automatic. Edge's available intelligent all-wheel-drive (AWD) system was tuned with an emphasis on performance while offering confident all-weather driving. By constantly monitoring and predicting traction, the system delivers torque to all four wheels, even before the wheels begin to slip. An active on-demand coupler can deliver the precise amount of torque to the rear wheels. Paired with available AdvanceTrac traction control, intelligent AWD can transfer torque front-to-rear and side-to-side.
Edge customers will find peace of mind in Ford's comprehensive approach to safety, including available active safety technology and comprehensive passive safety features. Edge is available with Ford's AdvanceTrac with RSC, the industry's only electronic stability control system that uses two gyroscopic sensors to monitor both yaw and roll motions. Monitoring both motions allows for yaw-control enhancements, providing class-leading side-slip and roll stability control. Edge comes standard with dual-stage driver and front-passenger air bags, an energy-absorbing steering wheel and knee bolster for the driver and an energy-absorbing glove box for the passenger. The driver seat uses a seat position sensor while the passenger seat uses an occupant classification sensor - both are equipped with load-limiting safety belts and pretensioners. Edge offers several layers of side-impact protection, including solid unibody construction with cross-member ladder frame, a reinforced greenhouse, energy-absorbing side door trim, available seat-mounted side air bags and Ford's Safety Canopy system with rollover detection and extended-duration side curtain air bags.
Edge's well-rounded, modern performance extends to impressive refinement, enhancing the driving experience. Engineers spent hundreds of hours fine-tuning Edge's interior ambiance. For example, the side mirrors were specifically designed to reduce wind noise. Even the radio antenna was scrutinized. Engineers took clay modelers into the wind tunnel to fine-tune the mirror design. By modifying the pitch and height of the spiral by tenths of a millimeter, wind noise was reduced by as much as two decibels.
With its unique combination of styling, capability and driving dynamics, Edge is the perfect complement to Ford Motor Company's expanding CUV lineup. Ford outpaced the competition in CUV growth in 2005 and looks to further energize the CUV market in 2006 with the new Edge and two other crossovers - the Lincoln MKX and Mazda CX-7.

Clever Australian rocker Courtney Barnett didn't make it into my Sunday Coachella roundup, but only because I didn't have long enough to watch her before jetting off to see Chance The Rapper. From the couple songs I did see, I'll say this: Barnett is way more multifaceted than I gathered from "Avant Gardener" — that is, she can do much more than just quirky, comedic, and upbeat. "Anonymous Club," for which she released a video today, demonstrates that versatility. The song itself is a faintly glimmering slowcore slow-burn from Barnett's 2013 release The Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas built around the romantic refrain "Thank you for cooking for me/ I had a really nice evening/ Just you and me." The animated video by Celeste Potter adds a layer of intrigue to a song that brilliantly captures a moment of intense emotional connection and longing. Watch below.

The Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas gets its official US release today via Mom + Pop.

One of the most important questions the OECD had to answer was how best to tax the digital economy. The question was whether to tweak the existing rules (a patch) or to create a new set of rules (a rebirth).
"The world's largest taxi firm, Uber, owns no cars. The world's most popular media company, Facebook, creates no content. The world's most valuable retailer, Alibaba, carries no stock. And the world's largest accommodation provider, Airbnb, owns no property. Something big is going on." - Tom Goodwin
Something big is indeed going on and it has been for a while. For more than 2 decades, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has been changing the way business is done and the way money is made. It is hard to think of any serious minded organisation that has never considered the impact of changing business models on its bottom line. So it is no surprise that tax authorities from many parts of the world eventually got together to work out how these changes were affecting their tax collections; after all tax collection is serious business.
Enter, Action 1 of the OECD's Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Action plan. Action 1 was an attempt (by the OECD) to identify the challenges faced by governments in getting taxes from companies who operate in the digital economy and to work out what changes were required to the existing international tax rules to overcome these challenges.
What is the digital economy and why does it worry tax authorities?
Think of any company you've had to give your money to or do business with where you don't have to go to their office (and probably have no idea if they actually have one in your country) and perhaps never met their sales people or representative. If you can think up a few examples, you probably have a good idea of what type of businesses makes up the digital economy. It is e-commerce, app stores, online advertising, online payment services, cloud computing, participative networked platforms and the likes.
Unlike businesses in the traditional economy, companies that are part of the digital economy are able to generate significant revenues in foreign countries without the need to put up big offices or have many employees there. This is one of the major reasons tax authorities worry about the digital economy.
The existing international tax rules assume that you need a certain level of physical presence (an office, a factory, a workshop etc.) in a foreign country before you can make any significant or stable revenues. Once you have this physical presence (otherwise known as a Permanent Establishment or PE for short), you are required to pay tax in the foreign country.
In the digital economy, companies can make money without a significant physical presence, and; no significant physical presence usually means no, or very little, tax for the governments.
In reality, it is not only companies in the digital economy that can operate in this way. It's just that the nature of the digital economy can make it relatively easy to do; on a large scale; and without breaking any laws.
To patch or to upgrade?
When software programmers decide to make changes to existing software they can create a patch or develop an upgrade. You need a patch when you want to fix an error. A patch is for blocking loopholes, fixing security vulnerabilities and the likes. You're not making any major changes just tightening things up. An upgrade on the other hand is something you do when you need to introduce completely new features that the existing software does not have.
This was one of the important questions the OECD had to answer with Action 1. To deal with BEPS and the wider tax issues of the digital economy; was the solution to tweak the existing rules so they became fit for the digital economy (a patch)? Or was there a need to create a new set of rules? A brand new feature; an upgrade? Both alternatives were analysed. Only one of them was considered appropriate.
The search for a new set of rules
Three new and interrelated ideas were considered in some detail. The first was to establish new bases for determining when a digital company was liable to tax in a foreign country. Some of the bases considered were revenues, number of active users and extent of digital presence. For example with a revenue basis, rather than look for a physical office or employees, the tax administrator would determine the amount of revenues being made by the foreign digital company from local customers. Once this crossed a certain threshold, the company would be required to pay tax.
The second idea was to subject digital businesses to a withholding tax (WHT) the same way you would apply WHT to dividends and interest earned by a foreign company. Slightly related to this was the third idea of applying an equalisation levy on digital transactions.
The case for building on the existing set of rules
This built on the idea that it was better to identify the weaknesses of the current international tax rules and then make specific changes that addressed these weaknesses rather than create a new set of rules which could have unintended consequences.
This view considered that the BEPS work and changes being proposed under the remaining 14 action plans could be made robust enough to address the specific BEPS challenges of the digital economy.
The action plans that were considered most important for addressing the challenges of the digital economy were: Action 3 (Strengthen Controlled Foreign Company – CFC - rules); Action 7 (Preventing the artificial avoidance of Permanent Establishment status); and actions 8-10 (assuring that transfer pricing outcomes are in line with value creation).
The verdict
The OECD concluded that the work on the other BEPS action plans would be sufficient to address BEPS issues in the digital economy. In other words, the job to be done did not require the introduction of a specific set of rules or new bases for taxing the digital economy.
While the OECD did not recommend any of the more radical changes, it did mention that countries were free to test out some of the new proposals in their domestic laws (and bilateral tax treaties) so far as they respected the provisions of other double tax treaties which were modelled after the OECD's recommendations.
A quick word on Value Added Tax (VAT)
Action 1 includes an extensive analysis of the VAT challenges of the digital economy. Chief amongst them were issues connected with remote supplies to exempt businesses, remote digital supplies to businesses operating in multiple locations, importation of low value goods and business to consumer supplies of cross border goods and services. The recommendations are instructive and we will come back to them another time.
Implementation and next steps
The plan is to have the BEPS recommendations implemented on a global scale. Double tax treaties will be amended to reflect some of the recommendations e.g. those from Action 7 on PEs. This will be done through the use of a multilateral instrument that will automatically amend the existing treaties (of countries that sign up for it) and save everyone the trouble of renegotiating their treaties one by one. Then there are other changes (e.g. CFC rules and also PE definitions) that are to be effected through domestic legislation.
Although the final recommendations from Action 1 are not as drastic as were first imagined, the OECD expects that they will have a significant impact on the taxation of the digital economy going forward.
It will be unwise to assume that this will be the last we will hear of the international efforts to address the tax challenges of the digital economy. The digital economy is extremely agile and will continue to evolve. The OECD will continue to monitor the evolution of business models in the digital economy as well as the effectiveness and impact of the BEPS measures.
Nigeria was an active participant in this project. It will be interesting to see what direction the country will swing on the options analysed in the Action 1 report. It will also be interesting to see how quickly any changes will happen considering the fact that agility and speed are not words that one would usually associate with our tax legislation and legislative processes.

Fight the Blight of Yucca Valley
As local Yucca Valley residents, voters, and business owners, it is very important to understand how this will impact your business, property and our community. California will begin issuing state licenses for commercial cannabis activity beginning January 1, 2018. The Yucca Valley ordinance would allow indoor industrial marijuana cultivation and processing in Yucca Valley's industrial zones while still not allowing any marijuana retail stores, retail sales or delivery services. Be informed on how this measure would increase certain property values, bring various construction projects to Yucca Valley, generate tax revenue, create local well paying jobs, and provide an overall economic stimulus throughout the town of Yucca Valley.

What's on your mind Tiki?
When the tall Mr J passed me the mic I knew it was my turn. As much as I was nervous I was excited. I love that feeling. I was back on the stage waiting for those words .It's like time plays a game with you when you want it to slow down it speeds up. I could see my parents - that made my palms start sweating. The guitarists were in the wings waiting until it was our turn . By then I was as hot as a Ferrari's engine . Sione said those words 'Tiki whats on your mind?' I stood up, my heart beating as fast as it could. The guitarists were creeping on to the stage with their big guitars .
I turned on the mic ready to sing . Now that is a buzzy feeling . I opened my mouth and my little brother was laughing his head off. I started to sing with a smile on my face. I sang the first two lines and I was already dancing. The crowd was quiet so I thought they didn't like it. I started singing the chorus. My hips swaying, my mouth moving. I saw my dad then calmed down. That is one of those times when time plays that game with me. So I just let it slide. Before I knew it my song was slowly ending .I felt like everyone stopped.
I turned and thought seriously 'what's for dinner?' Then the crowd just let me have it they were clapping and yelling. That I will never forget. I looked at my dad and smiled he smiled back then I knew what was for dinner.

Finally a post from Ms T
One thousand apologies for not posting sooner but my main focus has been to get to know the wonderful students in my new class... Room 18 of Point England school - Wooohoooo!
I can honestly say I am absolutely delighted with my whole class. I have a room full of very talented year 6 students that have wonderful attitudes towards education and learning. What more could a teacher ask for? (besides muffins and chocolate biscuits)
I am slowly getting to know my students to see what makes them tick... their interests, passions, strengths and weaknesses AND like most of them said, a lot of them have the same passions and interests as myself, so we get on like a house on fire.
This terms topic is of course 'The art in storytelling' and we are having a blast. We have pretty much focused most learning areas around myths and legends, fairy tales and folk stories - so lots of fiction and fictitious characters. Students have been writing creative 'twisted fairy tales' to produce for their I.C.T learning object, so watch this space for future posts of movies and animations. Our reading material for our reading tumble has a fiction focus also. If you know anyone in Room 18, you might want to ask them about some of the folk stories or myths we have been reading about. We have been inspired by Dr Seuss's illustrations and have based some artwork around his weird and wonderful drawings - we might have to take some photos to post as well.
All in all, we are having a ball in Room 18. I have been really impressed with the activities a lot of my students have been involved in such as; interviewing the prime minister, conferencing with Hamish Campbell, presenting (on a weekly basis) to visiting teachers and principals, being school role models during assembly and lots more.
So, to all you followers of Pt England School... I feel blessed to be working in a school that really cares about each and every person linked to the school. the children, the staff and the community. Watch this space for more updates (and yes my goal is to post regularly) Ka kite ano - Arohanui Ms T x

UPDATE Kalim 5 minutes of fame
Kalim did us proud Pt England! He had the difficult task of being the very first performer on Monday. The audience were treated to Kalim singing as well as some very slick moves across the stage. Proud Pt Englanders and family members were in the crowd cheering.
Kalim sang 'I want you back' by the Jackson five and then followed it up with a dance routine to a song by TPain. At the end of the performance we watched 3 more items - all varied in style and talent. The winner was announced. This time round it wasn't Kalim, however we know that it's a great start for him and next time he will be even better. Thanks to Mr Jacobsen for the great photos!

The song is called '1, 2 Step' by Ciara. Most of the dancing was unrehearsed, and we quickly discovered that there were some pretty talented dancers in our class.
Watch Jacob and Bobbi Grace amaze us with their krumping moves, and see Blessing with his cool flips. You might see them starring in a real music video in the future!
Well done to Cruz, Leoden and Destiney for filming all the footage.

Riverside Club Rocks!
Take a look at Sela's interview with Mr Burt:
Q: When did it start?
A: Riverside club started in August 1991.
Q: How long have you been a part of it?
A: Since the day it began. It was started by me and Mrs Burt, and Mr and Mrs Liddle.
Q: Why is it called the Riverside club?
A: It's called the Riverside club partly because I live on Riverside Avenue, but also because when the club started, it was in the Scout hall on Riverside Avenue.
Q: What gave you the idea to start the Riverside club?
A: Well we noticed that there were a lot of kids who didn't have much to do after school, especially when there were no winter sports on. So we thought that we'd start a club that could give people fun things to do once a week after school, and that they could do camps in the holidays.
Q: Where do you get all your game ideas from?
A: Well Sela, two places really. One is from experience and friends and from reading books. I've acquired those games over a long, long time. The other place I get them from is, I make them up!
Sela: Thank you Mr Burt for your time.
Mr Burt: You're very welcome.

C.R.E. with Mrs Clarke
Every lesson is about a story from the bible. We always learn something important from the lessons such as a moral of the story, or a message about how we can become better Christians.
We really appreciate Mrs Clarke for teaching us more about the bible.
Well done to Sela, Cruz and the team for putting this clip together.

1) A self portrait
2) A koru design that represents our whanau
3) A place of significance to us
4) A piece that represents our culture.
We also had to explain why we chose to draw the artwork/image and how it was significant to us. Those of us who spoke clearly and confidently, and memorised our mihi, scored well on our rubric. Take a look at some of our finished artworks and tell us what you think about them.

It is 78 feet long and can reach speeds of up to 40 knots. It was built in Auckland, NZ and was ready to launch in February 2006. The Earthrace cost about $3 million dollars to build. Did you know that it uses 100% biodiesel fuel? If you didn't know, this type of fuel is natural, nontoxic and biodegradable. In other words, its good for the environment.
The Earthrace sure is one cool boat! Well done Leoden!

Mending Fences
Dalton's just a few meters away, this is just a set up mission.
Dog Whistles
Dalton tells you to reactivate a pair of repulsors. The first is just a hair to the east and you can even hoof it if you want. There are a couple Viperwolves milling about, but no big deal. The second one is a bit further south and you'll want to take the Gator. A pair of more powerful Viperwolves is guarding it, but they're easily dispatched. Return to Dalton when you're done.
A Change of Scene
Kendra orders you up the stairs and inside to the link bed. You'll switch to the Avatar and then you can return to Kendra.
In the Rough
As you leave the base, check out the Tree of Vision (1/6). Head west from the base. About halfway to your goal marker there's a base and another. Tree of Vision. Viperwolves will show up not long after this, but you can avoid fighting them by just running. Finally, as you enter the base, you can find a third Tree of Vision. Their locations are marked on the map below. Talk to Dr. Harper to end this mission.
Plant Sampling
A bit to the south there's a field with a lot of plants that are glowing green. This isn't much of a scavenger hunt, but it will help you recognize objectives in scavenger missions in the future. Head back to the base when you're done.
Continue north a bit. On the other side of the gate, hang a right, and not long after you'll get a cut scene introducing Tan Jala. There's also a Tree of Vision here.

The NERFC (part of NOAA) publishes a daily graphic of snow depth, and a week-long archive. Both show some inconsistent information:
Large areas of New England (especially Maine) lost snow over the last 24 hours? Up to 10 inches in parts of northern Maine? On a very cold night? How much compaction actually happens in that time? Snowpack density (another sub-page) doesn't look that high.
Very, very odd...

What you can do is rent a VPS from Backupsy. You can purchase a VPS from Backupsy for $10 a month. This will give you 250GB of disk space. You can scale your VPS as required, but 250GB should be enough to start your backups with.
Fantastic, we now have DNS redundancy located in a different datacenter to your shared hosting server. The last thing we need to do now is add the backup system to your backup VPS. I use a system called Bacula4hosts. I like their system because it allows a bare metal restore as well as adding a backup icon to your clients cPanel control panel that will allow them to restore individual files and/or accounts. This costs $19 a month and connects your shared hosting server to your backup storage server (which we are also using as a DNS server).
- Dedicated server - $30
- WHM/cPanel license for a dedicated server - $35
- Cloudlinux - $14
- Softaculous - $2.50
- Backupsy VPS - $10
- Bacula4Hosts - $19

5 Quick Questions:
- Why did you join the U40 Leaders of Tomorrow Team?
I got an email from the Chamber looking for people who might be interested in joining committees. The U40 Committee intrigued me as a way to meet people in a similar place in their career that may not be so ingrained in the business community yet. This was also my gateway into the Chamber as a whole and onto the Board of Directors.
- Before working in your current position, what is the most unusual or interesting job you've ever had?
I did a summer job in maintenance at a YMCA. This was both unusual and interesting as I had zero experience or knowledge of what I was doing and was responsible for anything that came up including repairing machines, installing various items, dealing with pool chemicals, using heavy tools, etc.
- What are three words to describe you?
Outgoing, Driven, Industrious
- Where would you like to be in the next five years?
Continuing my progression at Deloitte while expanding my reach in the community and being known as a key business advisor to my clients.
- If you were forced to eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Pizza (delicious and lots of variety, but maybe that defeats the purpose of this question…)

Update on NY Times Article on New Technology in Tax Teaching
Friday, April 30, 2004
A follow-up on yesterday's post about the New York Times article on the new "clicker" technology that I use in my tax classes: Jim Maule (Villanova) has posted on his blog a thoughtful explanation of why he supports the technology. Here's the opening paragraph:
It hasn't yet been 72 hours since the NY Times article about Prof. Paul Caron's use of clickers in his courses at the University of Cincinnati Law School and already the reactions are beginning to reverberate throughout the law academy.
Jim addresses the concern expressed by Ann Althouse (Wisconsin) that the clickers interfere with student classroom autonomy. The former law student who runs the popular JD2B site notes that the technology "engages students during lectures and cuts down on solitaire and IM'ing (yikes!)." Exactly!
Update, Part II: More Althouse (anti-clicker by a self-described "cranky old retro lawprof"); more Maule (pro-clicker).

Mayor Sam Spinoff
This blog will feature comments and news on the national scene - especially the jockeying for 2008 - with all the same wit and wisdom you'd expect from America's greatest dead mayor.
The purpose of this site is not only to follow the American political landscape, but to create an archive of current thinking leading up to 2008.
However, Mayor Sam and his staff will dedicate the bulk of our time to the Sister City with the notion that all politics are local and have far more impact on the average person than anything happening in Washington, D.C. Given that, Sam Yorty's America will not have the same volume of content (at least for now) but could be a fun diversion while waiting to see what the next comment posted about Antonio is.
If you are interested in contributing, contact Mayor Sam directly at email@example.com. Also feel free to forward on your staffer friends in DC so they can have the same fun we have here in the City of Angels.

Hyland's Affirms Safety of Its Products; Still Awaiting Data Behind FDA Warning
October, 12, 2016
We have seen recent reports related to issues linked to use of homeopathic teething tablets and gels. Hyland's has not been made aware of any data that supports the claims in these reports. Our understanding is that the Food and Drug Administration's investigation of these products is still ongoing. The fact is that we have not been made aware of any medical or statistical evidence to support a causal link between homeopathic teething tablets and adverse outcomes at this point. We continue to request any available information and statistics from the FDA.
Over the course of the last six years, Hyland's has developed and now employs state-of-the-art safety and testing procedures to ensure all its baby products are safe for our youngest users. Data from that program continues to indicate our products are safe. We look forward to working in partnership with the FDA to continue providing safe and effective medicines to families around the world. We regret that such unsubstantiated information is being shared and creating concerns among consumers.

The current > draft is suggesting that creators could assign a keyboard accelerator > (@key), which I personally have argued strenuously against I wasn't thinking about keyboard accelerators, especially. Perhaps one way to illustrate what I'm talking about is to consider BLOCKQUOTE again. Screen readers usually include a mechanism for distinguishing text content in a BLOCKQUOTE from surrounding text. For example, you can configure Window-Eyes to announce the beginning and end of BLOCKQUOTE, and configure JAWS to read BLOCKQUOTE content in a special quotation voice. This semantic information also has a navigational aspect, in that it helps users skip unneeded content. So even the humble BLOCKQUOTE has a complex set of behaviours created because screen reader developers saw BLOCKQUOTE in common use and recognized that their users would want access to that semantic information. Now one might also want to expose other information about BLOCKQUOTE, such as its CITE attribute. But this gets really complicated, since the specification doesn't even suggest a visual treatment of CITE, let alone an aural one. I've seen three existing implementations of CITE: 1) In Amaya, click on a BLOCKQUOTE with CITE specified and you will jump to a CITE URI. But whoever designed this functionality seems content to allow anchor links to override CITE. So when you have, say: >

 href="http://www.anotherexample.com">foo bar

 > -- there seems to be no way to access the CITE URI http://www.example.com . 2) In Firefox, right-click on a BLOCKQUOTE, select Properties. You can now view the URI. If you actually want to go to the URI, you need to select the text of the URI, copy it to the clipboard (what madness is this!), and paste it into the address bar. Mozilla gains a point for not conflating anchors and CITE attributes, and loses a point for making CITE attributes so fiddly to use. 3) For Opera, there is Arve Bersvendsen's "Enhance blockquote display" user JS script: http://userjs.org/scripts/browser/enhancements/enhance-blockquotes This script inserts the CITE URI as a link after the blockquote like so: foo bar -- http://www.example.com This has the advantage of cleaning separating the CITE URI from the anchor link, but because it won't have been anticipated it has the disadvantage of potentially breaking CSS designs. In the "Hypertextuality" Firefox extension I've been hacking together ( http://www.benjaminhawkeslewis.com/www/svn/hypertextuality ), the context menu for a cited quotation includes options to open the quotation source in the current tab, a new tab, or a new window. In the behaviour for screen readers I've been trying to design, http://www.benjaminhawkeslewis.com/www/accessibility/how-to-read-q.html screen readers would announce "cite" before reading a sourced quotation, theoretically allowing the user to press a hot key to jump to the source (this is on the analogy of their saying "link" before reading anchor link text). The ELinks developer looking into implementing the CITE attribute was talking about adding a focusable [CITE] marker or URI link text after cited quotations (although ELinks does support some CSS, I suspect such additions will be less disruptive in ELinks than in Opera). The point of that nigh-interminable digression was to demonstrate two things: 1. Exposing semantic information to the user is complex, because different semantics are best exposed in a variety of ways, but any given exposition risks conflict with other expositions. Traditionally, this has meant human beings sitting down and working out a solution, not browsers magically doing it for themselves. I'm unclear how RDF is going to help with this. If anything is suggested by the specification as it stands, it is that we should shunt this responsibility on to the poor end user, who will be seemingly deduce what actions may be taken on a given role from its name: > [The role attribute] could allow a user to make informed decisions on > which actions may be taken on an element and activate the selected > action in a device independent way. This of course ignores how implementation of the existing accessibility roles is /actually/ happening, which is by browser and screen reader developers creating specific behaviours for them. 2. When the specification does not actively suggest possible implementations, more thought has to go into implementations and people (myself obviously included) are likely to invent suboptimal solutions because, unlike what does get into the specification, they have not undergone much in the way of review by the community. > The W3C has already defined a number of "common" roles > [http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xhtml2-20050527/mod-role.html#col_Role], and > while this collection may need to be more fully scrutinized to ensure that > nothing essential is being omitted, once it is complete I cannot foresee > numerous needs to create new roles - I personally suspect the strength and > usefulness of @role will come in part from their universality and shared > understanding, as opposed to their customization. When you say "numerous needs" that leaves room for there being /occasional/ needs, which suggests the problem I'm raising still needs careful consideration. As an aside, if the usefulness of the role attribute derives from the "universality and shared understanding" of W3C-defined roles, then logically the creation of new roles should be restricted to W3C and indeed the roles should surely be fixed when XHTML 2.0 is released, so that /all/ user-agents that comply with XHTML 2.0 can understand /all/ the roles. The RDF stuff would then be completely unnecessary. If you're wrong and there many new roles created after the release of the specification, and there is no provision for defining default implementations for the roles, then using assistive technology to browse the web on public computers (whether on the street, in libraries, on campus, at work) or even using a new piece of assistive technology on your home machine is going to become enormously time-consuming, as you'll continually have to break off surfing to define how to handle each new role. If this is how the WG envisages things working, then it is imperative that an XML preferences markup language be devised to complement the roles definition. Such preferences could be gradually created as you use your assistive technology at home, then synchronized with an online source and accessed by similar software on public computers to tell it how to present the roles to suit you. I think the idea that "nothing essential" will be omitted from the roles defined by WAI and the XHTML 2 specification itself is over-optimistic for three reasons: 1) Roles defined by existing assistive frameworks have rarely kept pace with the evolving complexity of the web. Consider how Mozilla has had to hack around MSAA's poor support for even ordinary HTML: http://www.mozilla.org/access/windows/at-apis#knowndif 2) The text of the specification of the roles module expressly introduces the module as a means to extend the semantics of XHTML-family markup languages: > This document is a module designed to be used to help extend the scope > of XHTML-family markup languages into new environments. It has been > developed in conjunction with the accessibility community and other > groups to make it easier to describe the semantic meaning of > XHTML-family document content. 3) Steve Pemberton describes how the Working Group added the role attribute for accessibility purposes, then realized that: > anyone can add their own role values, so that whole communities can > agree on new semantics to overlay on to the content. In fact this is > exactly what microformats are about. http://www.w3.org/2005/Talks/05-steven-xtech/ The proliferation of microformats suggests that there will be widespread demand for new roles. The role attribute has now become the ultimate reason not to add any more semantic elements. When people propose the creation of new semantic elements to this list, they are advised that XHTML is now about structure not semantics, and that new semantics should be added by roles. For example, Mark Birkbeck proposed role as an alternative to a <spoiler /> element: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html/2005Dec/0014.html > In this scenario, user-agents will come pre-wired to interact with the > common collection of roles, allowing the end user to decide (based on > software/hardware choices and needs) how to interact with the role. > This is, to me, the critical key as it gives control to the end user. > Content authors should not be telling end users how they must interact > with the content, but rather simply ensure that the appropriate hooks > are in place so that the role is exposed in the DOM, and leave the > "rendering and interactivity" to the user-agent. Can you (or anyone) give an example of how this might work with a new role not defined by the XHTML 2 specification or WAI? What does a user agent require to devise "rendering and interactivity" and what does the end user require to decide how to interact with a role? > I am unclear from your examples however how defining a role of "starmap" > will aid any user. I would think that it would have an ID (identification) > of "starmap", but why role? I can understand what it *is*, but I am unclear > on what you expect it to *do* or *be*? Ditto for "price" and "slider"... Well, exactly. At this point alarm bells should be ringing about how crucial it is that we clarify the mechanism by which users and user-agents know what new roles should do or be. :) > They are things (elements), but are they truly roles in that they have a > semantic purpose? A slider is a control, and a visual one at that - what > does it add to the overall semantic logic of your document? I would think > that the larger block that contains a slider widget might have a role, but > the element itself would seem to me to be akin to a form submit or textbox, > simply tools to achieve something. With "slider", I was trying to give an example of a role that might be created for the "thin client form applications" David Woolley mentioned, but you're right, it was a lousy example, both because the name is too presentational and because it already exists: XForms includes a "range" control. With "price" and "starmap", those clearly have a semantic meaning. A "price" might be the "price" for a containing element with a role of "product". Users and their software agents could utilize it in all sorts of ways: jumping from products to their prices, sorting products by prices, extracting price comparison data, and so forth. Here's an example of how it might be used:: >
The all-new > W3C Specification Auto-Repair Widget > 5000 will solve all problems with your draft  role="biz:productKeyword">technical specifications. With just > one application, it will fill in all lacuna, resolve all confusions, > magic away all obscure use-cases, and put the whole into language > readily comprehensible to even the most block-headed of implementors > and authors! Get your piece of mind now for only  role="biz:productPrice">$1,000 and never write an errata > again!.
 Who wouldn't want one? ;) If you're sceptical about this, have a look at Pemberton's own elaborate example of marking up the seemingly straightforward sentence "On 8th June at 14:30, Steven Pemberton will give a talk entitled Web 4.0: Now's the Time to Plan at the Web and Beyond Conference." using RDFa in: http://www.w3.org/2006/Talks/06-08-steven-web40/ How should a "starmap" work? Maybe one would have a
 of stars with co-ordinates and other information, which a visual user agent would turn into a 3D map. As you focus on a given star, you get details (name, size, type, age, and so forth) about that star. I suppose an aurally accessible version of the same would use a quiet voice to report distant objects and a loud voice to report near ones, some sort of keyboard navigation (space flight simulators can be controlled with just the arrow keys), and a facility for searching for a star by name or type (a sort of warp drive if you like). I'm not sure exactly how it would work with a braille display; perhaps something like NetHack maps but with an added dimension: http://www.nethack.org/v343/Guidebook.html#_TOCentry_48 A rendition for the young or those with severe cognitive difficulties might use progressive disclosure, and concentrate on rankings like "the 5 biggest stars", "the 5 weirdest stars" or whatever. Automated agents could also use the "starmap" to extract similar data. Now one could certainly argue that this is an extreme example; and that it is inappropriate to make a simple XHTML table behave in such a way. Such an argument would depend, however, on a clear and agreed statement about what XHTML is for, what sort of roles and role interrelationships may be defined, what sort of behaviour may be added with roles, what should be reserved for JS or plugins, and so on. Such clarity is still largely absent from the specification, probably reflecting the lack of consensus frequently visible on this list. But even if the "starmap" example were to be dismissed as extravagant, other simpler semantic roles that require special behaviours (such as role="culture:spoiler") would likewise be in trouble when it came to accessifying their semantics. Sorry to be so long-winded about all that, but I hope it makes what I was saying a little clearer. -- Benjamin Hawkes-LewisReceived on Saturday, 25 November 2006 17:29:19 UTC
