Hi all, I have been using Tidy for some time (the C version, http://tidy.sourceforge.net/) and I find it very useful. I have also tinkered with the JTidy Java version (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtidy) and I note that there is a Perl binding at the planning stage (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ptidy). Is anyone working on a Python binding? This would I guess be quite an easy thing to include with the C version, given that Python as a language is a veneer on C APIs anyway. A Python binding would make scripting with Tidy very easy, e.g. to write bespoke website maintenance tools. Thoughts? RickReceived on Tuesday, 2 July 2002 17:59:50 UTC

Hollywood mums Halle Berry and Naomi Watts have their hands full with little ones
Both Halle Berry and Naomi Watts were spotted out and about with their little ones at the weekend.
Former Academy Award winner Halle got stuck into the serious business of playtime with her little girl Nahla at a park in Beverly Hills. Halle couldn't stop smiling as she carried the youngster, who turns two this month, through the sand.
The barefoot actress – who watched the Oscars ceremony at home – spent some quality mother-daughter time with the cute toddler in the absence of her other half, fashion model Gabriel Aubry.
It was a case of all hands on deck in New York for Naomi Watts and her brood, however. The King Kong actress was joined by husband Liev Schreiber as she went for a stroll with sons Alexander Pete, two, and 14-month-old Samuel Kai.
But while Liev was left pushing an empty buggy, Naomi had her hands full with her two boys – Sam on her hip and Alexander, nicknamed Sasha – holding on to her hand.

Marc Leishman holed a 50-foot eagle putt on the 16th hole to take the lead Sunday, and he stayed there with two tough pars at the end to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill and earn a trip to the Masters.
In a final hour that featured four players having at least a share of the lead, Leishman is the only one who didn't blink.
His final act was a pitch-and-run from 45 yards away on the closing hole at Bay Hill that ran out to within three feet. He calmly made the par putt for a three-under-par 69 and one-shot victory over Kevin Kisner and Charley Hoffman.
The only thing missing was a handshake from the King. This was the first Arnold Palmer Invitational since the September death of the beloved tournament host.
"You see guys win and he's waiting there on the back of the green," Leishman said. "And to not have that is obviously very sad, but to win here is just a dream come true."
Rory McIlroy had as good a chance as anyone, storming into a share of the lead by hooking a wedge around a tree, over the water and over the green on the 16th, then nearly holing the eagle chip.
He had a 30-foot birdie putt to tie for the lead on the 18th, and after seeing that Leishman had made eagle on the 16th, gave it a good run. The putt went 8 feet by and three-putt for a 69 to finish two shots back.
"These things happen," McIlroy said. "But I'm pleased with how I went. Ten under for the weekend around here is good scoring, and I can take a lot of positives from it going into next week."
Kisner and Hoffman also squandered away their chances.
Kisner had a three-shot lead at the turn, but failed to made another birdie the rest of the way. His lead began slipping away when Kisner missed the green on the par-5 12th with a sand wedge, pitched over the other side of the green and took bogey. He closed with a 73.
"I had it right there in the palm of my hand to win, and I didn't get it done," Kisner said.
Tyrrell Hatton of England shot 71 to tie for fourth with McIlroy, while Valspar Championship winner Adam Hadwin closed with a 71 to finish three shots behind.
Leishman finished at 11-under 277 and earned a three-year exemption on the PGA Tour.
"Mr. Palmer was an awesome guy who I was lucky enough to meet a few times," Leishman said. "To honor him was huge. And it was the first time I won a tournament with my family here. It's all come together."
Nordqvist wins Founders Cup title
Anna Nordqvist caught up with some college friends — and left everyone else behind on another hot afternoon at the Bank of Hope Founders Cup when the 29-year-old former Arizona State player shot a four-under 68 to hold off fellow major champions Ariya Jutanugarn, Stacy Lewis and In Gee Chun by two strokes in record 96-degree heat at Desert Ridge.
Nordqvist finished at 25-under 263, two strokes off the LPGA Tour record that Sei Young Kim matched last year at Desert Ridge. The 6-foot Swede had a tournament-record 61 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead into the final round. Jutanugarn and Lewis also shot 68, and Chun had a 66.
Nordqvist won her seventh LPGA Tour title and first since successfully defending the ShopRite LPGA Classic title last June. In the U.S. Women's Open in July, she lost a three-hole playoff to Brittany Lang after being penalized two strokes for touching the sand with her club in a fairway bunker on the second extra hole.
Lehman shoots 66 for Tour Champions win
Tom Lehman took advantage of senior newcomer Steve Stricker's late mistakes to win the Tucson Conquistadores Classic for his 10th PGA Tour Champions victory.
Two strokes behind Stricker with three holes to play, Lehman closed with two birdies and a par for a seven-under 66 and a one-stroke victory over playing partner Stricker.
Stricker followed his second-round 63 with a 70. He was trying to become the 19th player to win in his first start on the 50-and-over tour and first since Miguel Angel Jimenez in 2014. Stricker bogeyed the par-three 16th, matched Lehman with a birdie on the par-five 17th, and bogeyed the par-four 18th after hitting a three-wood drive left into the water.
The 58-year-old Lehman won for the first time since the 2015 SAS Championship, finishing at 20-under 199 on Omni Tucson National's Catalina Course. He won the 1996 British Open and four other PGA Tour titles.
Bernhard Langer broke the tour record for consecutive rounds under par at 32, shooting a 65 to finish third at 15 under. Gil Morgan set the previous mark in 2000. Fred Couples (70), Billy Andrade (70) and Gene Sauers (69) were 14 under.

If optimizing your website for the major search engines seems like a daunting task, you should know that you're not alone. You can take advantage of the hard-earned experience of many other websites. By following the tips in this article, you'll be able to optimize your site so that it attracts more traffic than ever.
Consider search engine optimization as a way to enhance your internet advertising. Search engine optimization allows you to take advantage of keyword searches on websites like Google, bringing your page closer to the top of the results for targeted content. This way, you'll reach broader audiences and maximize your advertising expenditures.
Think of all keywords related to your site. Even if you don't attempt to rank for every keyword you can think of, having a list of related keywords can help search engine results by allowing you to make best use of the keyword tag and by giving you even more possible ways to get visitors.
When optimizing a webpage for search engines, do not let keywords take up more than twenty percent of the page's total content. This is a cumulative figure, including every keyword incorporated in the page. Primary keywords should not make up more than five percent of content, and secondary keywords should be limited to two or three percent.
Use keywords throughout your site to maximize your visibility to search engines. Be sure to choose appropriate and popular keywords that are commonly searched by people looking for information about your products and services. The two most important places to include keywords are the title tag and the page header.
If you've read this article carefully, search engine optimization shouldn't seem like such a confusing task anymore. Just remember the basic principles underlying the tips you've been given, and apply them to your website. Before you know it, your traffic will have skyrocketed, and your customer base will be expanding. SEO

Choosing Keywords:
The most important part of PPC is to choose your keywords those are searched by lot of people.
Suppose your keyword is "PPC" and search volume for PPC keywords is approx 12000/monthly it means approx 12000 people visit the Google first page by searching this keyword. Now if you purchased your Ad for PPC keyword it means you will get at least 12000 approx impressions for your Ad. If you have written an effective or interesting ad that gives an answer for which a user is landed on the same page, you have good chance to get click. Once a user clicks on your Ad, you charged at that time by Google. Your Ad will be live until you have sufficient payment in your PPC account.

Apparently This Kid Gives The Best Interview Ever [Video]
When the reporter put this kid on camera, she apparently had no idea that he was about to steal the show.
The boy was supposed to just let the reporter know what he thought of the ride, but he had so much more to say.
- Apparently he has never been on live TV.
- Apparently he watches the lotto though
- Apparently he loved the ride

They wanted to the tell the world they were a charitable organisation even though we and everyone else knew they were full of it, now they are offering a charitable service to whom they think are NEEDY!
Who exactly determines what NEEDY means? What exactly determines what level poor starts.
Will the person under trial by poverty to get a free cup of coffee and a free sandwich reserved for the poor be cancelled out if only two kind customers have paid double or extra for someone to get a free coffee and a free sandwich and 50 customers who are classed as NEEDY turn up looking for free coffee and a sandwich every day?
This is yet another new hair-brain scheme to hoodwink people out of hard earned to donate money to pay for a coffee and sandwich to other inchgarth users who are deemed to be in NEED, how would inchgarth know who can afford it or not plus how would this work in practice, one gets it one day comes back the next expecting it again to be told no-one has donated today so tough luck you either have to pay for it or leave now!
Lets examine this concept further,
Will it be means tested? Will this mean a home visit and form filling the same as the welfare state brand poor families? Who in inchgarth validates who is in need or greater need? Will the needy have to prove they are indeed entitled to the free coffee? Will the poor have to turn out their pockets? Will Inchgarth be handing out freebie tickets or will they get a swipe card? It's a recipe for stigmatisation.
This is what happens when people with no formal qualifications dreams up stupid ideas.
It was reported today that Councillor Ian Yuill who is obviously backing this nutcase idea could not wait to buy a fair-trade coffee yet there was no mention of him Donating money for the NEEDY?
Inchgarth is hard to find but we will give you directions and a map so if your in NEED get your FREE Coffee and Sandwich of-course you may have to prove your in need so maybe they will have the forms for you to fill out just don't turn up with your own transport…!
It was also reported that most of the plasma TV's have been fitted but they are up 9 feet up on wall and you could only see the screens if your standing up or behind the café bar which was fitted by Caber Coffee Ltd which opens more questions than answers and the question we have repeatedly asked BAA Trust Fund, is the best idea they could come up with for any community group or charity?
This idea started on facebook of all places by people thinking they were good doers but failed to understand the dynamics of such stupidity, all that happens to the place offering it will increase their cash-flow and their profits, if its working great inchgarth could perhaps let us all know how many donate and how many needy receive such benefits besides coffee is the not very nutritional as far as any beverage goes and shows its a daft idea just like having lots of plasma TV's dotted around a wall every ten feet away, there used to be a place in Aberdeen that done this called video-plex most of its regulars ended up with sore heads and strained eyes and the place went bust yet another stupid idea.
You have to ask about the type of people in the BAA trust fund who thinks this is money well spent?
In the picture provided by yesterdays evening express there was space for around 20 covers, there was 5 plasma screens that you can make out so if twenty people were there at once all seated thats 1 TV for four customers most could not see the screens because of the angles but its OK because its the council who picks up the tab for the waste of electricity being used, yes another stupid gimmick that provides no service or gains and another stupid idea, yet BAA says this was the best use of the funds, who are they kidding?
The local rag also claimed they had extended their hours but had they researched their own report they may have discovered inchgarth had in fact reduced their operational hours as last year they got paid thousands in grants to stay open to keep the youths of the streets more money for nothing culture here!
If they are so bothered about the needy why don't they just become an official registered charity and give out coffee and sandwiches out for free 3 days a week instead of this stupid ill thought out idea.
People are telling us Caber Coffee paid for the coffee bar and supply at cost the products and its a franchise can inchgarth confirm if this is true?
If its true then this may mean its a sub let can inchgarth confirm this?
Can inchgarth tell us how many needy people they have helped since they started suspended coffee sales and who decides within the centre who is deemed to be needy?
How many of our readers thinks this was money well spent?

Tom Cruise Wants
to Assist
With on-set Scientology.
In the upcoming Steven Spielberg remake of War of the Worlds, one family fights for survival when Earth is invaded by Martian war machines. But on the set of the movie, there's been an invasion of another sort: Scientologists! Tom Cruise, the film's star and the religion's most well-known adherent, has set up a Scientology tent with a volunteer minister. It's a gift from Tom to the crew, says Lee Anne De Vette, Cruise's sister and spokeswoman. You can receive what's called an assist there, a Scientologist practice that, as she describes it, seems to be a glorified mini-massage. If someone has an injury in a certain part of their body, if their back is killing them, they can come in and get an assist. It's something that helps the body get in better communication with itself. Actual Scientology literature is available, too, in case someone walks in looking for a solution. All of which has caused a certain amount of grumbling. Scientology watchdog Rick Ross says that he's received e-mails from crew members wondering, Where are the booths for the Catholics and the Jews?

Progress Bar Moving Again
Last week, with the pile of final papers I had to grade (thirty pages from thirty students, so around a thousand pages of reading material plus computations of final grades and all of that) I only managed to get 3k written. (My weekly goal is 10k.) Fortunately, with the previous week's extra writing (I think I did closer to 15 or 16k that week) I'm still pretty much on target. I did 1k earlier today, so that–with last week's–gets us one more blip forward on the progress bar.
If you live in Utah County, then you might want to be reminded of my signing tomorrow! Sprinville Library at around 5:00. There will be books for sale, but as always, feel free to come and have me sign a book you've already bought. (Or, if you read a library copy, you can always just drop by and ply me with questions about writing or the like.)
And, speaking about writing questions, here's a link to this week's Writing Excuses: submitting to editors. This is an extra special episode, as we have a guest star. Stacy Whitman, friend and editor extraordinaire who works with Wizards of the Coast in their fiction department, was kind enough to drop by and fill in for Howard, who was at a con when we recorded this episode. If you've ever wanted to listen to an editor talk about publishing, then this is your chance. She is actively buying material right now, and she knows a whole tun about the publishing industry in general, with specialties in children's and YA fiction specifically.

The Goblin King
I've had the Goblin King painted for a while, just never got round to posting him. I painted him to match the pale skinned Goblins, although I think at the time I got fed up with painting the skulls on the staff thing. I plan on adding some yellow grass to all of my Goblins and Dwarves at some point as well.

I made a complaint to Bing about a website.
The website has been hacked. The hacker created a directory on the hacked website, copied my homepage content and web design, then placed a few pages on the directory. Most of the links found on my homepage are changed to porn related links.
I managed to catch two hacked pages, which I've reported to Bing. I reported the case to Bing because Yahoo and Bing are delivering traffics to the hacked pages.
Suddenly, after about 24 hours, I found out that Bing and Yahoo no longer send any traffics to my website.
When I checked Bing for my website, it shown "some results have been removed". I believe Bing has blocked the hacked pages, but accidentally penalised my website as well since my website link is found in the hacked pages.
I wrote back to Bing but was told it needs one week to review the case with Product Group. Is there anyway this can be speed up? What should I do now? I lose 80% of my traffics as bing and Yahoo no longer sending any traffics.
I would also like to know if Bing include my website into the Bing search in the future, will Yahoo search also show my website into their search results? Are they inter-related? Do I need to do anything to get back on Yahoo search?
Will my website traffics performance similar to old days(before being accidentally penalised)?
I am panic now, I am losing income with sleepless nights as this is my only website and my income, my life depends on it.
Please help.

It's Murder, My Son (August 24, 2010)
This was the beginning of an unknown future at that time on my working relationship with author Lauren Carr. This cover was designed for the audiobook format I created at work. Mrs. Carr was so kind with her words on how the cover for "It's Murder, My Son" turned out that it sparked many wonderful projects that she has given me over the years and I am eternally grateful for the opportunities given working with Acorn Books Services. I did not design a full cover for this book besides the audiobook version at Books In Motion. For a larger view, click the image.

I l-l-love exfoliators and when I find one that I can use every day, it's game on. Recently I tried a sample of Renee Rouleau's AHA/BHA Cleansing Gel and as soon as I was done patting my face dry, I realized I need to get this product into my routine stat!
This cleansing gel features my holy trinity of acids for gals with oily/acne prone skin: salicylic, glycolic and lactic acids. It has a leg up on the refining cleanser I use in the shower every morning for a few reasons. The first is this beloved combo of acids to help exfoliate the skin and the second is it is actually cheaper than what I'm using now and I get more product… SOLD. And… I found this cleanser was also easy on my skin. The jojoba beads gently exfoliates without being the least bit abrasive.
Did you know that Renee Rouleau's AHA/BHA Cleansing Gel is the 2007 Winner of Allure Magazine Best of Beauty Award in the "Best Cleanser for Oily/Acne Prone Skin" category? I didn't know either but now I'm definitely going to get more acquainted with this skincare line.

President Barack Obama made a promise to the American people, and former President Bill Clinton believes he should keep his word.
When President Obama proposed his plan for universal health care, he assured those who were happy with their insurance that they would not be forced to change their policy. The president has since had to backtrack that commitment as individual health policies have changed, and some 3.5 million people have had their health plans canceled.
Clinton believes that the president must honor that pledge, even if that means changing the bill.
"I personally believe, even if it takes a change in the law, the president should honor the commitment that the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got," said Clinton, who spoke with OZY Media founder Carlos Watson on Tuesday.
It is believed that 5 percent of Americans don't receive health care through their job or some federal service like Medicare. That 5 percent works out to be roughly 14 million people, and it is these people who potentially may have their health care canceled if the law isn't fixed.
"Even though it's a small percentage of folks who may be disadvantaged, you know, it means a lot to them," Obama said Thursday in an interview with NBC News. "And it's scary to them. And I am sorry that they, you know, are finding themselves in this situation, based on assurances they got from me."
A reporter asked White House Press Secretary Jay Carney if the president agreed with Clinton, and he pointed to Obama's apologetic interview with NBC.
"Well, I think as you saw the president say in an interview with NBC last week, the answer is yes—the president has tasked his team with looking at a range of options, as he said, to make sure that nobody is put in a position where their plans have been canceled and they can't afford a better plan, even though they'd like to have a better plan," Carney told reporters at the White House and Time magazine reports.

I never write personal blogs like this, but I actually need help and for once in my life I am asking for some help and advice.
Today, my 7 year daughter turned up at my doorstep clinging to her mother saying "I don't want to see you Daddy, I want to stay with mummy". I squatted down and calmly said "why not darling" what is it?
To give you some background. Monday just gone (June 8th I was told by my ex that my daughter was invited, by her best friend, to a Holy Communion in a nearby church.
I responded by saying that it was my day with her on Sunday and that I should be allowed to take her to the church on Sunday. I acknowledge the parents might know our situation and be reluctant to see me as it has been 2 years since I have been allowed to pick up my daughter from school.
There were many email communications throughout the week between myself and her solicitor as she was only offering an overnight Friday in return to taking 2 Sundays away from me (my only day to spend REAL quality time with her).
Today she turned up and said "if you had agreed to what our daughter wanted then everything would be ok".
Seriously, am I a bad father for insisting I should be able to take her to her best friends' Holy Communion. I do understand that my ex may be friends with our daughter's best friends' parents, but surely if it is my court ordered day to be with her, they can just ask me to take her.
Today is the first day I have really questioned |if I should have had a child. My best achievement in life is my daughter and I have always been there and I will always be there. But to experience what I did today, my whole world has been shattered into tiny pieces as my whole reason for feeling a better person, does not even want tom spend time with me, after a hard, 2 year battle just to get access back.
What have I done wrong?
What am I doing wrong?
How have I had this happen to me when my child is my world?

Have you looked at the draft charter for the renewal of the CSS WG[0]? It has similar words while not going quite as far. I think you might want to take a look at it and provide specific comments along those lines (as AC rep and/or implementer). Anything that fosters greater integration instead of unhelpful differences and ancient quibbles is imho headed in the right direction.

Today, the International Energy Agency is working under good practice guides that integrate appropriate and cost effective technologies. In this paper a new procedure to define building energy consumption in accordance with the ISO 13790 standard was performed and tested based on real data from a Spanish region.
Results showed that the effect of air changes on building energy consumption can be defined using the Weibull peak function model. Furthermore, the effect of climate change on building energy consumption under several different air changes was nearly nil during the summer season.
The procedure obtained could be the much sought-after solution to the problem stated by researchers in the past and future research works relating to this new methodology could help us define the optimal improvement in real buildings to reduce energy consumption, and its related carbon dioxide emissions, at minimal economical cost.

- Ventilation
- Climate change
- Monte Carlo
Various standards relating to energy use have been set up in the last decade to help mitigate climate change effect on building energy consumption. However, these standards focused mainly on new buildings ignoring, for the most part, existing buildings that will require similar improvement challenges in the near future.
Thus, it becomes urgent for the new standards to develop good practice guides that integrate appropriate and cost effective technologies.
In light of this, different international agencies and research units are attempting to find solutions to this age-old persistent problem, which can be defined as follows: How can optimal building improvements, to lower energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission, be identified? This concept is currently expressed mathematically by researchers as a methodology to define the probability density function of the energy consumption in real buildings. Furthermore, researchers anticipate that once this density function is defined, the next step of interest will be to define better improvement strategies to reduce the energy consumption in buildings towards zero value. Simultaneously, this same procedure will help us define the future effect of the weather on this energy density function distribution for an expected climate change.
To solve this problem, in 2000, several European associations of renewable energy decided to share a common office building to utilize synergies. It was then that the Renewable Energy House concept was born, under the project titled New4old [1]. This concept proved to be very successful. It was from this project that Europe's capital was provided with a showcase for integration of innovative renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies in a 140 year-old listed building.
Today, Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems (ECBCS) claims that approximately one-third of the primary energy is consumed in non-industrial buildings where it is utilized for space heating and cooling, lighting and appliance operations. In view of this, ECBCS undertakes research and provide an international focus to building energy efficiency. Tasks are performed through a series of annexes that are directed towards energy-saving technologies and activities that support their application in practice [1]. ECBCS conducts a diverse range of activities, both through its individual annexes and through centrally organized development and information exchange. Activities usually take the form of a 'Task Shared' Annex in which each country commits to a specified effort level.
Following uncertainties in energy supply and concern over the risk of global warming, many countries have now introduced target values for reducing energy consumption in buildings. In view of this, these international agencies attempt to reduce the energy consumption in buildings from between 15 to 30% in the next few years. To achieve such a target, international cooperation, in which research activities and knowledge can be shared, is seen as an essential factor.
Today, the International Energy Agency [2] is working under the same objective in its different research projects, like the Annex 55 [3] and Annex 56 [4]. Annex 55 is currently being developed. Its scope includes providing decision support data and tools for energy retrofitting measures. These tools will be based on probabilistic methodologies for the prediction of energy use, life cycle cost and functional performance. The ultimate outcome of the project will be to develop knowledge and tools that support the use of probability-based design strategies in retrofitting of buildings to ensure that the anticipated energy benefits can be realized [3].
In continuation of the earlier project, Annex 56 [4] was produced. The project aims at developing rules and procedures, as the basis for future standards, enabling cost effective refurbishment of existing buildings within the international commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and for climate change mitigation. This implies rehabilitation towards nearly-zero emission buildings. As in the prior project, one of the main objectives is to provide tools, guidelines, recommendations, best practice examples and background information for policy makers, designers, users, owners and developers that will help to reduce GHG emissions in the existing buildings sector.
All these research projects are being currently developed and, in the initial stage, need to define the more important parameters that influence building energy consumption. In light of this, the ventilation rate was defined as a primary parameter related to indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy saving in earlier years. Furthermore, the effect of ventilation rate on building energy consumption, today and in the near future, under the effect of climate changes, is pending analysis. Consequently, a suitable selection of a ventilation method must be done from among natural, mechanical and hybrid ventilations. In recent research works, based on the tracer gas decay method, these three ventilation methodologies were compared in urban environments to define their performances in accordance with the nominal time constant [5]. These results showed that hybrid ventilation is associated with somewhat higher nominal time constants and higher air exchange efficiency values than natural cross-ventilation and such ventilation efficiencies seem to be higher when the air-exchange rates are lower. The conclusion generally drawn is that residential mixing ventilation and industrial hybrid displacement ventilation are the more significant alternatives for future building design [5]. However, the most favorable number of air changes required for each different ventilation procedure to reduce the energy consumption is still not clear. It is due, most often, to the energy consumption, which is not the main parameter that controls the number of air changes, and it is defined as a function of the type of indoor ambience and activities occurring indoors.
Finally, as mentioned earlier, climate change effect does exert a clear influence on energy consumption. Consequently, recent research studies have begun to analyze the effect of climate change on the building energy consumption due to the ventilation system [6]. In this study, measurements of temperature and relative humidity were performed in office buildings for extended periods of time, which allow us to predict the energy consumption for the next few years, under new temperatures, due to climate change. This was done based on the general equation of energy for building certification, in accordance with EN ISO 13790 [7, 8] and related ASHRAE standards [9]. From the results the initial conclusion drawn was that winter ventilation experiments showed a higher utilization factor and that this was implemented with the increase in air changes. Despite this, lower energy consumption was observed in the winter than in the summer, and it was noted that when air changes increased, this effect revealed the opposite behaviour. Therefore, it was concluded that it will be of interest to increase the air changes during the summer season for the next 10 years.
After this review it can be concluded that economically optimized renovation strategies for different local conditions and categories of existing buildings are still to be developed and demonstrated. In view of this, the goal of this present research work is to show one possible solution to this problem, based on the ISO 13790 standard and different stochastic procedures.
In the initial stage, real sampled data from Galicia (Spain) buildings was employed to define the input data of ISO 13790 standard and its upper and lower working values. Parameters like indoor air temperature, number of air changes and energy consumption were sampled in a real building and, at the same time, it were employed for the energy consumption calculation of the same building in accordance with the ISO 13790 standard. As a result, the calculation procedure was validated. Finally, in accordance with Monte Carlo method, this building energy consumption was calculated in accordance with ISO 13790 standard employing random input values of each sampled variables and showing, after an adequate curve fitting, the probabilistic model of the building.

Climate change models
where Δt is the mean seasonal temperature increase (°C) and τ is the time (years).
Monte Carlo method
For this case study, the Monte Carlo method was applied by Microsoft Excel and implemented with Visual Basic for Applications of the ISO 13790 standard calculation procedure. This methodology permits us to easily define algorithms within a reduced time period.
Weibull model and curve fitting
Results and discussion
Once the mean indoor parameters of a real building were defined, then the weather conditions surrounding the building used in this study were defined. Significantly, the building is located in the north-west of Spain and presents a mild and humid climate, as seen in Figure 1. However, as mentioned earlier, a climate change, for this region, in the next 10 and 20 years is expected, with a mean increment of 0.5°C every ten years, as seen in Figure 2, in keeping with the earlier research works.
Once the input data was defined, the Monte Carlo method could be employed. Calculation was performed in accordance with ISO 13790 indications, and parameters such as the heating and cooling system efficiencies were fixed at 0.7 and 2.55, respectively. At the same time, the carbon dioxide emission was defined as a function of the energy consumption obtained for each season. Finally, for this particular case study 50,000 runs were applied, in keeping with the convergence criterion.
Prior to analyzing the energy consumption in buildings, it must be clarified that the ISO 13790 standard considers different kinds of energy consumption. The first one is due to the energy required to ventilate under different numbers of air changes, whereas the other energy consumption is related to the heating or cooling system to reach adequate indoor conditions. Consequently, the present study analyzes the effect on the cooling and heating energy consumption, under different number of air changes.
Results of Figures 4 and 5 showed the energy consumption during the heating and cooling seasons, once each random run was completed on this standard. Simultaneously, the carbon dioxide emission related to this energy consumption was represented in Figures 6 and 7. From these Figures it can be concluded that the energy consumption in this building during the cooling season must be between 3 and 11 kWh/m2 and that during the heating season it changes to between 7 and 27 kWh/m2. This result clearly concurs with real sampled data and the information obtained on the energy consumption during these two seasons. At the same time, the carbon dioxide emissions defined in Figures 6 and 7 show an emission range between 2 and 7 kg, as well as 3 and 10 kg of CO2 during the summer and winter season, respectively.
Once each different group of runs was completed, the results were grouped in accordance with their frequency, as shown in the histogram of Figure 3. After this, a curve fit process was done and the results showed the better common curve fit model for each group of runs. In particular, the Weibull peak function model was selected as the only one suitable to be employed with an adequate correlation factor, for all curves obtained. In view of this, the correlation factor reached 0.9 in most cases and, consequently, the curve fit was considered adequate. This result is of particular interest for researchers, as these models, and the previously obtained thermal inertia [11], can be easily optimized by different control systems reducing the energy consumption and being the initial tool for an optimal building design improvement.
If each different chart is analyzed, it is evident, for example Figure 8, that today, the heating energy consumption is higher when the number of air changes is maximum and equal to 2 ach. Furthermore, in this same Figure it is seen that when the climate change effect increases outdoor temperature by 0.5°C or 1°C, this energy consumption, under the same number of air changes experiences a clear decrease towards zero.
Another conclusion obtained from Figures 9 and 10 is that, when the number of air changes is reduced with values of 1.5, 0.9 and 0.5, the model of energy consumption experiences s a clear movement towards the left. This movement implies a reduction in the energy consumption. For example, in these Figures it is evident that the energy consumption obtained today is the higher one and that, the higher the climate change effect, the more reduced is the energy consumption during the winter season. This conclusion is clearly in accordance with common sense and is seen in Figure 11. In this Figure, below the minimum number of air changes of 0.5, there are a higher number of states with energy consumption below 10 kWh/m2.
On analysis the effect of the number of air changes over the summer cooling energy consumption as Figures 12, 13, 14 and 15 show indicates there is no influence on the outdoor temperature and the energy consumption obtained today, or in the next ten and twenty years. However, it is seen that the higher the number of air changes, the lower the energy consumption, in this season. An extreme case is obtained when we define the number of air changes as 0.5, as shown in Figure 15.
Concurring with the results obtained from the earlier works, it was concluded that during winter, there is lower energy consumption than in the summer. Despite this, when air changes are increased, this effect experiences a clear change, revealing the opposite behavior. To summarize, it can be concluded that the global energy consumption in the next few years will be constant during the winter and that, during the summer, a decrease will be offered if the air changes increase to 1.5 or more. As a result, it can be concluded that this will be of great interest to future designers. From the energetic point of view it is interesting to increase the air changes during summer season for the next 10 years. This increase in air changes can be reached by mechanical ventilation or various other methods like infiltration. Despite this, as it is well known, the ventilation rate must consider other parameters like indoor activities and pollutants [12, 13] and not energetic point of view alone to define the optimal ventilation rate.
In the present research work, a new stochastic procedure to define the effect of the ventilation rate and climate change on a real building energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission was performed. Results showed the energy consumption during the heating and cooling season in a real building, once each random run was completed based on the ISO 13790 standard. It was concluded that the energy consumption during the cooling season must be between 3 and 11 kWh/m2 and that during the heating season it changed to between 7 and 27 kWh/m2. This result is in clear agreement with real sampled data and the information obtained on the energy consumption during these two seasons. At the same time, carbon dioxide emissions were defined as showing an emission range between 2 and 7 kg, and 3 and 10 kg of CO2 during the summer and winter season, respectively.
Once each different run was completed, the results were grouped in keeping with its frequency and, after this, a curve fitting was done and the results showed that a better common curve fit for each run was obtained using the Weibull peak function model. At the same time, the heating energy consumption was recognized to be higher today under a higher number of air changes (2 ach). Furthermore, when climate change effects increase outdoor temperature by 0.5°C or 1°C, this energy consumption, under the same number of air changes, experiences a clear decrease towards zero. When the number of air changes is reduced, with values of 1.5, 0.9 and 0.5, the model of energy consumption experiences a clear movement towards the left. The energy consumption currently obtained is the higher one and, the higher the climate change effect, the more reduced the energy consumption during the winter season.
On analyzing the effect of the number of air changes on the summer cooling energy consumption it was obtained that, currently, there is no difference between the effect of temperature and energy consumption for the next ten and twenty years. However, it is evident that the higher the number of air changes the lower the energy consumption in this season. This effect is clear under a number of air changes of 0.5.
Concurring with the results obtained from the earlier works, it was concluded that, during winter, there is a lower energy consumption than in the summer and that, when the air changes increase, this effect experiences a change achieving the opposite behavior. Therefore, it can be concluded that this will be of significant interest to future designers. From the energetic point of view it is interesting to increase the air changes during the summer season for the next ten years.
Finally, the procedure obtained could be the much sought-after solution to the problem stated by researchers in the past and future research works relating to this new methodology could help us define the optimal improvement in real buildings to reduce energy consumption, and its related carbon dioxide emissions, at minimal economical cost.

Tonight I'm going to share something a little different — a t-shirt. Not just any t-shirt, but a battle cry, chosen by my Dad as his goal, his motto, his encouragement through twelve treatment cycles — fourteen days on, fourteen days off for a total of 168 days of treatment — for systemic melanoma in 2014.
Encouraged to write a goal, a reason, to persevere through a full year of Leukine therapy, my Dad spent a few weeks praying, and we prayed with him. Then one day it suddenly became clear to him in three phrases, one on the way down the stairs, one of the way back up, and one rounding the corner into the kitchen.
As we celebrated my Dad's birthday a few days later, he placed a slip of paper in front of me, face-down. On it, his goal, weaving together family, friends and faith.
Breathe Deeply, Go Forward, Keep the Faith!
Breathe Deeply (and experience the immensity of God) from my blog, Go Forward, my brother's motto, and Keep the Faith, a favorite saying of my Dad's friend, Jim.
I instantly fell in love with my Dad's goal and knew others might too. Good words from a good man, standing strong.
So here's where I offer something different, these words on a printable, downloadable image, a gift from my heart to yours, and the opportunity to stand with my Dad across this great, big, wide world, and wear these words on a t-shirt.
T-shirts can be ordered here from Ink to the People, a secure and reputable site, for $17.
For your free gift, a printable version of the photo at the top of this page, click here.
Blessings, Friends, from my heart to yours.

Google is preparing to launch an update to its Compute Engine cloud that will allow it to shunt user virtual machines around availability zones in the name of resiliency.
The company announced in an email to customers today, sighted by iTnews, it was putting the finishing touches on what it calls its new transparent scheduled maintenance system.
The system will make Google's scheduled zone maintenance events transparent to the applications and workloads of users, automatically moving customers' virtual machines around scheduled outages and ahead of expected failures, the company said.
According to the customer email, more detailed information around the VM migration - including how customers will need to configure their VMs in response - will be made available in the coming weeks.
The company has rolled out the system and infrastructure to its US Central 1a region already and will upgrade US Central 1b early next month.
Google has not announced availability for other regions, but said European rollout dates would be revealed next year.
The company also revealed its US Central 2a region would be taken permanently offline at the end of the year, as part of the effort to consolidate its US footprint into zones able to offer the new transparent scheduled maintenance.
Users with applications or workloads in the region will need to move over to US Central 1a or US Central 1b between November 11 and December 31 this year.
A Google spokesperson said customers can still choose which regions their virtual machines are hosted in. But during scheduled maintenance or outages, customer's VMs will now be moved around availability zones within a user's chosen region, but not outside of it.
At present, only United States customers have the option of selecting which specific data centre their VMs are hosted during sign-up.
Google launched its Amazon rival last July and made it more widely available in May this year.
Compute Engine is a direct competitor to Amazon's Web Service EC2 infrastructure-as-a-service solution, but Google took the unusual path of only offering support for servers running Ubuntu or Linux platforms and excluding Microsoft operating systems.

This new box set release was announced back in June (2011) and finally got it's release 6 months
later in December. So, was
"Special Delivery"
worth the wait? And does it stand up to it's claim as
"The Ultimate Elvis Collectors Box 1 1960-1969"
The box looks really nice with an attractive front cover design and on the rear is a b/w photo of Elvis
about to place the wedding ring on Priscilla' finger and below that we are shown the contents of the
box. It's on this contents photo that we learn there are only 1,000 copies produced.
"Special Delivery - The Ultimate Elvis Collectors Box 1 1960-1969"
1 x CD - Fame & Fortiune
1 x DVD - Special Moments
1 x Elvis & Priscilla Wedding Album
6 x Deluxe Postcards
1 x Sticker
1 x Collectors Cards
The CD - Fame & Fortune
First up is the CD containing 26 recordings, this obviously went through some changes over the 6
month wait. When this set was first announced, we were to expect 13 previously unreleased studio
outtakes including; 'Soldier Boy (take 5)', 'Swing Down, Sweet Chariot (master take 4)', 'Frankfort
Special (movie version)' and many others.
None of these early announced outtakes actually make it to the final disc line-up, but instead of the
original 13 unreleased performances we get 23
Previously Unreleased
studio out takes plus a few
master takes with added Unreleased studio talk. While this is an enjoyable CD and boasts 23
Unreleased outtakes, they have all been released before on other bootlegs so there isn't really
anything new here. The album itself is already a collectors item apparently as only 1,000 copies have
been pressed.
The DVD - Special Moments
With the advance promotion of this set, we were told that apart from the CD and book
"there is a beautiful Special Moments DVD with rare footage of the King."
It's not worth beating around the bush with this one, for me this is an absolute disappointment! Let down! Rip off!
Special Moments huh? For me, (as with the CD) there was nothing new on this DVD, but unlike the CD there wasn't too much enjoyment. The film clips are not
in any chronological order (Pizza Hut Commercial between a TV promo from 1986 & the original Wild In The Country Trailer), and much of this "beautiful" DVD
is just a tiny box in the middle of the screen? I Kid you not, here is a remark from one of our listeners,
"the DVD is a big disappointment. Thankfully I was
prepared for it after hearing you talk about it on the show. The size of the picture was so small on my 50 inch plasma."
The only thing I can imagine is that this
film has simply been grabbed from the Internet and to increase the size anymore would make them unwatchable? Whatever the reason behind this crazy
process is simply ridiculous and with it running at only 50 minutes I would have expected much more than this make do, let down of a DVD.
The Book - Wedding Album & Special Collectible Extras
Elvis & Priscilla - Wedding Album
Behind The Scenes
Elvis' Wedding Suit
Wedding Ceremony
Wedding Kiss
Wedding Press Conference
Las Vegas Wedding Reception
The Cutting Of The Cake
Leaving Las Vegas
Honeymoon Hideaway
Graceland Wedding Reception
Straight away I can tell you that this is a really nice product and is without any doubt the highlight of this release. It's 60 pages and features over 150 Colour
and Black & White images taken over the various stages of the wedding (see headings list) all on glossy pages. I can't say there is anything that has not been
seen before, but it's nice to have all the wedding photos located in one place.
6 Deluxe Photo Postcards
These are printed on card and each one features a main photo on the front and a smaller image from the same period on the backside. The photos used are
again, nothing new. 1) Girls! Girls! Girls! [Colour], 2) Paradise Hawaiian Style [Colour], 3) Elvis with The Youth Leadership Award for 1966 [Black & White],
4) 1968 Singer Special [Black & White], 5) 1968 Singer Special [Black & White], 6) 1969 After Press Conference [Colour]
Bonus Sticker and Card
The sticker is nothing really to shout about, it's simply the photo used on the front of the box with Elvis Presley running across from shoulder to shoulder. Not
much else can be said about a sticker really!
And finally the collectors card...This is housed in a slot inside the box under all the main contents. It's a nice rare photo taken on the set of Viva Las Vegas
with Elvis looking at the camera, only to have half his face blanked out by a cloud of smoke as he exhaled his drag on a cigar. The question has to be asked,
why use that one? There are six better photos taken at the same time printed on the inside of the box, why use one with his face blocked out for the collectors
card is another head scratcher for me? The card is plastic and on the back has 2 photos (from the same roll) of Elvis admiring a motorbike.
On the front of the card it states:
Special Delivery - The Ultimate Collectors Box
Limited numbered edition 0534
Legal or Not?
I've been asked by many of our listeners if this set is a bootleg of a public domain release? In order to legally release a public domain album, the song writers
still need to be paid for the songs used on the project! It's released by new label
"The EP-Company"
, and the first impressions suggest that it is a totally legal
release under the 50 year rule due to the 26 tracks on the CD being from 1960.
But then again it's soon obvious that there is no information regarding who produced the set or who researched the wedding album or even an address for
contact purposes, No bar-code and no matrix number, surly making this a bootleg release? But then again with official outlets like the Essential Elvis magazine
and the Australian website openly selling this, it must be a public domain release right?
The Verdict?
This was such a long awaited release and looked so beautiful that I really looked forward to it's release, but sadly this release is nowhere near the quality it
should / could have been. And as for giving itself the title of
"The Ultimate Elvis Collectors Box 1"
, it's sure is not "Ultimate" and not woth the average
£40.00 price tag. I will not be looking forward to number 2 that's for sure!

Quick Facts
- Born:
- August 10, 1928
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
- Education:
- US Army
- Ethnicity:
- Caucasian
Edwin Jack "Eddie" Fisher was an American singer and entertainer, who was one of the world's most famous and successful singers in the 1950s, selling millions of records and having his own TV show. He was married to Debbie Reynolds, Elizabeth Taylor, and Connie Stevens. His divorce from his first wife, Debbie Reynolds, to marry his best friend's widow, Elizabeth Taylor, garnered scandalously unwelcome publicity at the time.
Fisher, fourth of seven children, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Russian-born Jewish immigrants Kate and Joseph Fisher. His father's surname was originally Tisch or Fisch, but was anglicised to Fisher upon entry into the United States. To his family, Fisher was always called "Sonny Boy", a nickname derived from the song of the same name in Al Jolson's film The Singing Fool. Fisher attended Thomas Junior High School, South Philadelphia High School, and Simon Gratz High School. It was known at an early age that he had talent as a vocalist and he started singing in numerous amateur contests, which he usually won. He made his radio debut on WFIL, a local Philadelphia radio station. He also performed on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts, a popular radio show which later moved to TV. Because he became a local star, Fisher dropped out of high school in the middle of his senior year to pursue his career.
By 1946, Fisher was crooning with the bands of Buddy Morrow and Charlie Ventura. He was heard in 1949 by Eddie Cantor at Grossinger's Resort in the Borscht Belt. After performing on Cantor's radio show he was an instant hit and gained nationwide exposure. He then signed with RCA Victor.

After Ben & Shelby's wedding this weekend, Adam & I rushed home so I could make 80 cookies for another rehearsal dinner this Friday. The dinner is out of state so I had to ship the cookies early in the week to make sure they arrived on time.
They left the design totally up to me - as long as the cookies were black & white and had the letter "H" on them. I decided to do a double-decker cookie decorated with fondant and royal icing, and here's how they came out:
The holiday season is almost upon us so it's time for you to get your cookie on too! Here are a few great holiday cookie countdowns:
One of my favorite cookie newsletters is from MyRecipes.com, which includes recipes from Cooking Light, Southern Living, Coastal Living, Health, Sunset, and many other great publications. MyRecipes.com is my go-to for almost all recipes - breakfast, dinner, dessert, etc. - and I especially love it because some of the recipes offer healthier options to the classic favorites we're used to.
Next, you've got Martha Stewart's "Cookie of the Day" newsletter. It wouldn't be a holiday with Martha, would it? By signing up for this newsletter, you actually get a new cookie recipe every day of the year - not just around the holidays. I bookmark the ones I like so I have quite a selection by the time Christmas rolls around!
The Food Network offers a "12 Days of Cookies" newsletter that's always good. In fact, while you're there, check out some of the other newsletters they offer like "Healthy Eats" and "Food Network Recipe of the Day."
And, lastly, Taste of Home has a "Holiday Cookie Countdown" right on their website. I just came across this one, but it looks like it's worth checking out! As far as I can tell, the recipes aren't delivered to your email inbox every day. You just go to their website and see all 12 cookie at once - no waiting!
